Speaker 7 (02:31):
You have to wear a seat felt when you're driving. Christy,
we're gonna be calm this country.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Whoo.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I haven't eaten a Burger King, and I can't take
last time I ate in Burger King. I was driving
across your grip and the kids said, Dad, we got it.
You want us to try foreign foods. We've been on board.
Can we just have one fast food meal? And it
was maybe eight o'clock in the evening. We're trying to
(03:07):
decide where to stop for the night and eat and stay.
And I said, okay, that's a pretty persuasive argument because
I'm all into trying new foods, and my wife's all
of them trying new foods, and you're in Europe. Let's
try some foods from places that you know you're not
going to see a lot of. And so we stopped
at at Burger King. And the funny thing is my wife,
(03:29):
who didn't grow up in this country and really tries
not to eat fast food at all. The boys said,
well that this is terrible. Is Burger King always as bad?
And my wife said, oh, well, that's just because we're
in Germany. They don't you know, they don't do fast
American fast food right when you leave America, when you
(03:50):
leave American. I said, no, it's not because we're in Germany.
Burger King is just that bad. So Burger King did
something and I think I know why they did it,
and that is Burger King was struggling because they can't
They can't compete their food, their service, their brand. They
can't compete with with all the new burger joints and
(04:14):
and you know, the water burgers and in and out.
There's so many now and Burger King just didn't keep up.
McDonald's has a loyalty, particularly among blacks, that they focused
on and they've held on to. McDonald's locations were in
in in urban areas where they've built a lot of
(04:37):
brand equity, and even though Burger King tries to put
as many of their locations next to McDonald's as possible,
they don't have the brand equity from the people who
eat out. They just they just don't. We just file
this one under go go bro. Burger King decided, well,
if we can't, if we can't compete because we have
(04:57):
a good product, we will become a woke company and
that's how people will know us. Remember those Tom's shoes.
You buy a pair, and they told you they'd give
a pair to somebody in a country that wears t
shirts of the San Francisco forty nine Ers super Bowl champion,
because that's where that stuff gets sent. Remember that. Well,
(05:21):
Burger King wanted to be They wanted people to buy
buy from them for reasons other than their food was good.
So they became woke. They campaigned about the pink tax
that oppressed women fuel while you know women don't get
paid as much as men. And then they did the
meatless whopper during a football game. There might be somebody
(05:45):
would eat a meatless whopper, but not somebody's watching a
football game. So now they are announcing the closure of
four hundred restaurants. This was their ad in twenty nineteen
net neutrality, because if there's one thing you care about
when you're eating a burger, is you want to know
that they're in favor of a left wing cause, hey,
(06:09):
how are you doing?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
You know what number ninety eight was following number ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You got the whopper?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, so you got the slow access whopper pass.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It's on the menu right there at the fast, medium and.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Slow, the slow mbps, fast MVPs or hyper fast mbps
MVPs of course standing for making burgers per second.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So if you know a wapper, now we have to
take twenty six dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Well, that's that's how you get it fast.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It's the highest priority.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This is like a Latens like fifteen yeah, fastening slow
Link's like maybe like fifteen twenty nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Burgurking Corporation believes that they can sell more and make
more money selling like chicken sandwiches and chicken fries. So
now they're slowing down the access to the walker. Were
you giving an option of the chicken sandwich or yeah,
I don't want a chicken sandwich. I doadn't want a wopper.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
You don't have any werst ready that aren't.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, the sandwich is ready.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I'm just not allowed to actually deliver to get it
to you. You can't give me the sandwich.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's ready, but you can't give it to me. The
waterer neutility was repealed. They voted on it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
This doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Unfortunately, I have no other choice. Oh my god, this
is the worst thing I've ever heard of. See like,
he got the best and now he's he to me.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
You paid twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, he ordered it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now he's a higher priority. So I came across this
ad and it tickled me. It's a man by the
name of Terrence, and he's a white guy, looks about
like Ed Sheeran, and he wanted to complain about a
burger that he had purchased at a local Burger King.
So he sent a direct message to Burger King through
social media.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I DMed Burger King and said I need to make
a complaint. They said, Hi, Terrence, what is the complaint?
So I sent them a picture of one of their
burgers and said, ain't no one eating this? Look at it,
to which they replied with look at you. And sent
a picture of me and said, big off forehead. It's
obviously photoshopped. So I said, nah, that's photoshopped, and then
(08:03):
they sent you again, playing TikTok toe on my forehead
and said your turn, it's obviously edited. How do you
even reply to this?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The worst part the picture of him wasn't photoshopped at all.
You can tell him, Kurt Cameron of the famous Growing
Pains man. If it worked for Growing Pains, I wouldn't
be on the Michael Berry Show. The media bubble is real.
(08:33):
A new study shows a massive disconnect between journalists and
the public.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I know that's nothing new to you, but it is
worth noting because I was at a dinner party last
night and the starting point for every conversation is stories
that are in the news. Now. The good thing is
there's more competition to provide news than there ever was,
(08:59):
and that means a couple of different things. It means
you can choose your news. You want liberal news, you
want conservative news. It's hard to get down the road,
down the middle of the road, you know, objective news
any longer that doesn't have any spin because what used
to be considered that is all left wing now. So
(09:20):
now everything that is not left wing is a reaction
to that, but it means that at least you can
flip channels and see how a story's being portrayed by
various networks and maybe from that come to your conclusion.
What I find interesting, however, is that as the news
(09:41):
business is dying, and they are dying, especially particularly on
the left, as that is happening, they don't seem willing
or able to self correct because they have no sense
of self awareness. They don't realize they're the problem. They
(10:02):
hate you, and they just keep getting madder at you.
But there's not enough of them to support them. They've
tried liberal talk radio again and again and again, and
they just can't get it. They cannot get it. There
are so many conservative talkers in this country. There are
(10:22):
people that are lifelong liberals who wanted to be talkers
and switched over to being a conservative. Some of them
are national now some of them and I'm not faulting them.
Look as long as they're saying what I think is
the right thing, I really they don't care where they
came from. But there are people. There is so much
conservative content out there. There's kind of right wing neocon conservative,
(10:47):
a lot of that. There's conservatorian, there's more libertarian than conservatorian.
But that's where the American public is now. So A
new in depth study by the supposedly non partisan but
very left leaning Pew Research Center found that sixty five
percent of the nearly twelve thousand journalists surveyed say the
(11:12):
media do a solid job of quote covering the most
important stories of the day and reporting news accurately. Sixty
five percent of the twelve thousand journalists believe, yeah, they're
doing a great job, but a solid majority of the
American public at large has the opposite view. Only thirty
(11:33):
five percent of them feel that way. That's a thirty
thirty point perception gap that means these people have no
clue how they are perceived. When asked if journalists perform
well when quote serving as a watchdog over elected leaders,
(11:55):
fifty two percent of journalists agreed, but the number dropped
precipitously when the general public was asked, with fewer than
thirty percent agreeing with the assessment. When asked if journalists
manage and correct misinformation consistently, forty three percent of those
(12:19):
in the industry said yes, So look, more than half
of them agree, yeah, we don't do that very well.
While just twenty five percent of the general public agreed.
Almost half forty six percent of journalists said they felt
connected to their readers and viewers, while just one quarter
of the public says they feel connected to the media
outlets from which they get their news. And imagine that.
(12:44):
Imagine that there was once a day of Walter cronkink
Edward R.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Murrow.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We respected and admired these people. Bob Schiffer, longtime journalist,
did a piece several years ago on how insulated journalists
have become. Here's an example. In the twenty twenty election,
just nine percent of Manhattan voters voted for Donald Trump.
(13:13):
In DC he got just five point four percent. Think
about that. So these people that's where they live. They
live in New York and DC. They're surrounded by other
people who view the world exactly and so you get
a confirmation bias. You know, how do the people in
Charlie Manson's cult think what they're doing is okay because
(13:35):
everybody around them says it is. If everybody around you
lives in a polygamous cult, you think that's normal. That's
why they don't let you see the outside world. That's
why in Iran and China. They shut off the outside world,
the Internet and television. And because as long as you
don't know what else is going on out there, you
(13:55):
think the whole world is living the way you are.
Just give you a couple of examples of how out
of touch the media is. And look, we could play
this game all day. I get it. Let's start with
Don Lemon.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I don't do opinion, and I know that the difference
for me is I do point of view. So I'm
giving my point of view as an American, as a
black man who happens to be gay. But I'm through
that lens. But I'm also I'm also I also represent CNN,
and so I must tell the truth. And if I don't,
if my facts are wrong, then I have to clarify
(14:31):
it and I have to come on television and I
have to apologize and I say I got that wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
How about we do a little montage of this unbiased
because they think they are this unbiased news. This is
a montage of CNN and MSNBC.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
You're hitting a lot of Republicans who are outrage over
President Biden's handling of the exit, especially in the so
called Freedom Caucus. If they support the former guy, the
one who set all of this in motion in.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The first place.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
The hypocrisy is off the charts and it is sickening.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
All right, everybody, good evening. We begin the readout tonight
with two cases which will once again tell us where
we are as a country. Whether armed primarily white men
can continue to take matters into their own hands and
serve as judge, jury, and executioner.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I had this segment laid out where I was
going to call out all of the people who are
prolonging this pandemic with phony COVID cures and anti vaccine garbage.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Now in a moment, you're going to see the sheer
spectacle of a sitting Republican US senator, one of the
most powerful individuals in the country, representing one of the
biggest states in the nation, pretty much grobbling at the
feet of a right wing cable TV entertainer, which certainly
reflects the state of the Union.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Was the peaceful transfer of power in January something of
a miracle.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
We're moving toward a kind of politics where I remember
the new Republican strategy is to follow voters to their cars.
They now have normalized the idea of using political violence
to get the ends they want that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
About twenty million people across America watched Thursday's prime time hearing.
Speaker 11 (16:06):
Twenty million viewers is in the ballpark with big television
events like.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Sunday Night football. Oh my god, But I want you
to compare.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Those twenty million viewers with the biggest ratings. Donald Trump
gardnered for his reality show.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Awent fourteen Show of Celebrity Fami.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
This was the build up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
They had seven point six million viewers.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's what's become of independent, impartial, non biased, unbiased objective journalism.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Of job creation in the United States since February of
nineteen twenty, over fifty percent of the three million net
jobs added in the last three years we're created in
only two states. Can you guess? Texas and Florida? In
(17:09):
other words, take those two states out and you reduce
to only half the job description out of the other
forty eight states. The proof is in the putting. It's
why federalism works on many levels when you have fifty
different states with fifty different sets of rules, regulations, courts, laws, cultures.
(17:36):
This is why democrats don't want states to be able
to do anything other than what the federal government tells
them to do because they want crammed down policies at
the national level. That way, Texas or Florida won't be
able to reduce their tax rate and see how that works.
(18:00):
They won't be able to reduce the choke hold regulation
on businesses. They won't be able to allow the individual
to own a gun. After basic safeguards are put in place,
they'll be able to take away the guns from everybody
but the cops and the criminals. Good luck waiting on
(18:20):
the cops to get there, because if it's three minutes,
that's two minutes fifty seconds too long, not their fault,
but fifty laboratories to experiment, and the beauty of those
laboratories are. Then you really get to see how California's
leftist policies are hurting them. California has the prettiest weather
(18:43):
in topography in the country. Is there any doubt Is
there any doubt of that? No, It's why so many
people moved out there once the industries began to develop,
particularly for creative people, the movies and music and those
sorts of things. It's why people moved from New York
(19:06):
out there to enjoy the wonderful weather, followed by Florida.
That's no secret. But look at how many people have
moved from California to Florida because you've got similar weather
and much better regulatory environment, much better culture. When every
(19:30):
state can create their own framework for how you live
that the people of that state embrace and embody, then
the rest of us can say, I might like to
move to Florida or Texas or Tennessee or Louisiana or
Mississippi or Georgia. And that's what people are doing. And
(19:53):
how many people are now moving to California or New
York or Illinois. The Blue states are watching jobs disappear,
and those jobs are not just going away, they're relocating
to the Red states. They're relocating to better, more business
(20:20):
friendly environments, more freedom friendly environments. My wife was Secretary
of State of Texas almost ten years and nine years ago,
and one of her responsibilities was economic development, So she
spent a lot of time talking to companies looking to
move to Texas and those companies were primarily from California,
(20:47):
New York, and Illinois, and they were blown away. You
mean you have no income tax. No, we have a
franchise tax. But no income tax, but it's a lower
tax burden, to be clear. And you are going to
take pay property taxes, and you are going to have
a franchise tax on your business, but you're not going
to have that income tax. It's going to make a
(21:09):
huge difference. Wow. Yeah, And we don't allow it. We
have tort reform here. We don't allow you to get
sued just because you're a business and somebody wants to
make make you know, wants a lottery ticket of what
can they get out of you? And and and and
fill in the blank. All the different reasons people wanted
to come to this state, dramatic reasons to come to
(21:35):
this state. Those reasons matter, and it makes a big
difference for how businesses operate. The problem is the mentality
in Washington, d C. Is the same mentality of the
Blue States, and the same mentality that is lost. That
that that has resulted in job losses and wealth loss
(22:00):
in the Blue States has been brought to the federal
government and that is bringing our country down. We are
not improving our ability to manufacture, We're not improving our
ability to find and improve upon energy sources. We are
(22:22):
not improving on our ability to do business. Whatever reason
you may think for the United States to be the
world's superpower, it is not primarily our military. It is
primarily our economy. The fact that we could create so
(22:46):
much wealth meant we could build a great military. The
fact that we had stability in our court system, the
fact that we had a sense of fairness and opportunity,
meant that we became the dream team, the all star
team for the world. We didn't build this great country
(23:08):
on illegal aliens fleeing the court systems and the prison
systems and as cartel operatives coming through our southern border.
We got the best and brightest Jews fleeing Nazi Germany
that would go on to make great developments and discoveries
and inventions came to this country. Irani's fleeing, the Homani cartel,
(23:41):
the Muslim theocracy came to this country. Indians who wanted
to learn engineering, in physics and mathematics came to this country.
The world came to this country. Money flowed to this country.
Now that is changing, and it's not accidental, and it's
(24:08):
not fatalistic, and it's not a destiny. It's bad decisions.
Our bad decision in Ukraine pushed Russia in a corner,
and Russian Russia turned out to be a very very
powerful foe in convincing the Chinese how they could bring
(24:28):
us harm that and the Chinese owned Joe Biden, who's
collapsing our government in front of us. And we are
watching a reordering on the world stage that is going
to be a generational setback. It's coming. Inflation in levels
you've not seen in your lifetime, a reduction in the
(24:52):
quality the standard of living in this country that you've
not seen in your lifetime, a setback of all the
great gains. It is coming. I don't wish it to come.
I don't revel in it. I see it, and I'm
preparing for it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Very brigade activate the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You've all heard of the reference to the slippery slope, right.
I was reading a report yesterday in a medical journal
that said that cigarettes are a gateway to more powerful drugs,
and it's not. There are lots of there's been lots
(25:40):
of study of this over the years. But one of
the reasons they find that to be the case. I'm sorry,
not cigarettes marijuana is that it opens up receptors to addiction.
No out I don't believe that marijuana should be illegal.
(26:03):
You're free to disagree with me. You're free to think
I'm a horrible person. That's fine, and you're free to think, well,
the only thinks that because he's a user. I'm not
a user. I have tried it, but it didn't do
anything for me. I do like bourbon and wine and beer.
And there was a time that the same mindset was
(26:25):
in effect with that we had prohibition in this country,
might I remind you, And it did not end well.
In fact, our government, this same United States government, during prohibition,
one of their ways to get people to stop drinking,
which they couldn't seem to be able to do, was
they sent out poisoned alcohol so that when people would
(26:48):
consume the alcohol, they would die. And that was supposed
to spread fear in the land that I don't want
to drink that alcohol or I'll die. But it didn't work.
But the government murdered people for their purposes. Wow, was
that a precursor That should have been our wake up
(27:09):
call to stop trusting a government. And that was one
hundred years ago. The only thing that came out of
that prohibition was NASCAR. The mafia was more powerful than ever.
You see, when people want something bad enough, they'll go
underground to get it. You can't just say, can't just
(27:31):
by legislative fiat say not gonna happen. But I have
to ask you, you know, when we talk about the
slippery slopes of arguments, if I were to ask you,
let's take the pandemic. What more could our government have
(27:53):
done to punish us? What more tyranny could they have
visited upon us that they did? If we started with
them doing nothing, how far from there to the worst
thing you can imagine did we get? In Australia, they
locked people into prisons. In China, they literally fastened the
(28:17):
doors closed. You could not escape. Can you imagine how
claustrophobic you had to feel. Can you imagine how mad
you would have to go in that rubber room. That's
a torture palace. That's awful. Our government may not have
gone that far, but they went pretty damn far. Do
you remember the moms that were out in the park
(28:40):
because they lived in tiny apartments and their kids were
stir crazy, and the moms needed a moment. These kids
needed some fresh air, and they took them out and
they arrested them in front of their children, mothers and
fathers in front of their children. You wouldn't believe that
would happen in this country, but it did. Go look
(29:01):
up the Tuskegee syphilis study. It's a wonder black people
trust the government to this day. Go look at what
they did to black people so they could study syphilis,
treating them like mice, like animals. How quickly people have
forgotten what our government has done where our government has lied.
(29:26):
Was fdr In any way aware ahead of time or
more of Pearl Harbor? I don't know, but I'll tell
you the people who said that he was and allowed
it to happen, because that inspired the action that inspired
us to get into the war, that dragged us into
(29:47):
the war. This idea of provoking a clash, a shooting,
a riot, a murder, this is not new. You remember
the white punk in South Carolina that went into a
prayer group and as the members of the church were
holding his hand to pray over him, he pulls out
(30:09):
his gun and shoots all of them. Do you remember
why he did it? He wanted to incite a race riot.
The Blacks would be so angry over this that they'd
start killing white people. So, if you were the devil,
(30:36):
what would you do that's not currently being done? I
send it to the Great Paul Harvey.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
If I were the devil, If I were the devil,
if I were the Prince of darkness, I'd want to
indulp the whole world in darkness, and I'd have a
third of its real estate and four fifths of its population.
But I wouldn't be happy. I have seized the ripest
apple on the tree the So I'd set about, however
(31:06):
necessary to take over the United States. I'd subvert the churches. First.
I'd begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom
of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I
whispered to Eve, do as you please. To the young,
I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I
would convince them that man created God instead of the
other way around. I would confide that what's bad is
(31:28):
good and what's good is square. And the old I
would teach to pray after me our father, which are
in Washington. And then I'd get organized. I'd educate authors
in how to make the lirid literature exciting, so that
anything else would appear dull. And noninteresting. I'd threaten TV
(31:50):
with dirtier movies and vice versa. I peddle narcotics to
whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen
of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pill If I
were the Devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves,
churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with
themselves until each in its turn was consumed, and with
(32:12):
promises of higher ratings. I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to
refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions, just let
those run wild until before you knew it. You'd have
to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every
school house door. Within a decade, i'd have prisons overflowing.
(32:39):
I'd have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God
from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from
the houses of Congress and in his own churches. I
would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would
lure priests and pastures into misusing boys and girls, and
church money. If I so the devil, I'd make the
(33:01):
symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas
a bottle. If I were the devil, I'd take from
those who have and give to those who wanted, until
I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And what
will you bet? I couldn't get whole states to promote
gambling as the way to get rich.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I would caution.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned,
that swinging is more fun, that what you see on
TV is the way to be. And thus I could
undress you in public, and I could lure you into
(33:49):
bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In
other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep
right on doing what he's doing.
It's that time time time time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Lucking load.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed
by some that's downright undemocratic.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Two six packs, Shiner, ninety nine, sid Putine Ladder, Lucky
strack center, fifth of patrol, ice down, attig, glue cooler.
Take a guess at all to do? I can feel

(00:55):
Wildy Hubbard sing alone to red deck and mother.

last right one or two bears.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Three blocks in a rack top Mustang followed us down
to the leaking didn't have to think about that too long.
Skinny dipping in the bright moonlight situation couldn't be more.
Speaker 6 (02:00):

Speaker 8 (02:02):

We gonna get to feel it right.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
We gonna keep this body rock until the break of nong. Yeah,

I can feel a good one coming.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
All they're making it last where you can't drink when
you want to, can't.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
You have to wear a seat felt when you're driving. Christy,
we're gonna be calm this country.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Whoo.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I haven't eaten a Burger King, and I can't take
last time I ate in Burger King. I was driving
across your grip and the kids said, Dad, we got it.
You want us to try foreign foods. We've been on board.
Can we just have one fast food meal? And it
was maybe eight o'clock in the evening. We're trying to
(03:07):
decide where to stop for the night and eat and stay.
And I said, okay, that's a pretty persuasive argument because
I'm all into trying new foods, and my wife's all
of them trying new foods, and you're in Europe. Let's
try some foods from places that you know you're not
going to see a lot of. And so we stopped
at at Burger King. And the funny thing is my wife,
(03:29):
who didn't grow up in this country and really tries
not to eat fast food at all. The boys said,
well that this is terrible. Is Burger King always as bad?
And my wife said, oh, well, that's just because we're
in Germany. They don't you know, they don't do fast
American fast food right when you leave America, when you
(03:50):
leave American. I said, no, it's not because we're in Germany.
Burger King is just that bad. So Burger King did
something and I think I know why they did it,
and that is Burger King was struggling because they can't
They can't compete their food, their service, their brand. They
can't compete with with all the new burger joints and
(04:14):
and you know, the water burgers and in and out.
There's so many now and Burger King just didn't keep up.
McDonald's has a loyalty, particularly among blacks, that they focused
on and they've held on to. McDonald's locations were in
in in urban areas where they've built a lot of
(04:37):
brand equity, and even though Burger King tries to put
as many of their locations next to McDonald's as possible,
they don't have the brand equity from the people who
eat out. They just they just don't. We just file
this one under go go bro. Burger King decided, well,
if we can't, if we can't compete because we have
(04:57):
a good product, we will become a woke company and
that's how people will know us. Remember those Tom's shoes.
You buy a pair, and they told you they'd give
a pair to somebody in a country that wears t
shirts of the San Francisco forty nine Ers super Bowl champion,
because that's where that stuff gets sent. Remember that. Well,
(05:21):
Burger King wanted to be They wanted people to buy
buy from them for reasons other than their food was good.
So they became woke. They campaigned about the pink tax
that oppressed women fuel while you know women don't get
paid as much as men. And then they did the
meatless whopper during a football game. There might be somebody
(05:45):
would eat a meatless whopper, but not somebody's watching a
football game. So now they are announcing the closure of
four hundred restaurants. This was their ad in twenty nineteen
net neutrality, because if there's one thing you care about
when you're eating a burger, is you want to know
that they're in favor of a left wing cause, hey,
(06:09):
how are you doing?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
You know what number ninety eight was following number ninety eight?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You got the whopper?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, so you got the slow access whopper pass.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It's on the menu right there at the fast, medium and.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Slow, the slow mbps, fast MVPs or hyper fast mbps
MVPs of course standing for making burgers per second.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So if you know a wapper, now we have to
take twenty six dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Well, that's that's how you get it fast.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It's the highest priority.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This is like a Latens like fifteen yeah, fastening slow
Link's like maybe like fifteen twenty nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Burgurking Corporation believes that they can sell more and make
more money selling like chicken sandwiches and chicken fries. So
now they're slowing down the access to the walker. Were
you giving an option of the chicken sandwich or yeah,
I don't want a chicken sandwich. I doadn't want a wopper.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
You don't have any werst ready that aren't.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, the sandwich is ready.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I'm just not allowed to actually deliver to get it
to you. You can't give me the sandwich.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's ready, but you can't give it to me. The
waterer neutility was repealed. They voted on it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
This doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Unfortunately, I have no other choice. Oh my god, this
is the worst thing I've ever heard of. See like,
he got the best and now he's he to me.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
You paid twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, he ordered it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now he's a higher priority. So I came across this
ad and it tickled me. It's a man by the
name of Terrence, and he's a white guy, looks about
like Ed Sheeran, and he wanted to complain about a
burger that he had purchased at a local Burger King.
So he sent a direct message to Burger King through
social media.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I DMed Burger King and said I need to make
a complaint. They said, Hi, Terrence, what is the complaint?
So I sent them a picture of one of their
burgers and said, ain't no one eating this? Look at it,
to which they replied with look at you. And sent
a picture of me and said, big off forehead. It's
obviously photoshopped. So I said, nah, that's photoshopped, and then
(08:03):
they sent you again, playing TikTok toe on my forehead
and said your turn, it's obviously edited. How do you
even reply to this?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The worst part the picture of him wasn't photoshopped at all.
You can tell him, Kurt Cameron of the famous Growing
Pains man. If it worked for Growing Pains, I wouldn't
be on the Michael Berry Show. The media bubble is real.
(08:33):
A new study shows a massive disconnect between journalists and
the public.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I know that's nothing new to you, but it is
worth noting because I was at a dinner party last
night and the starting point for every conversation is stories
that are in the news. Now. The good thing is
there's more competition to provide news than there ever was,
(08:59):
and that means a couple of different things. It means
you can choose your news. You want liberal news, you
want conservative news. It's hard to get down the road,
down the middle of the road, you know, objective news
any longer that doesn't have any spin because what used
to be considered that is all left wing now. So
(09:20):
now everything that is not left wing is a reaction
to that, but it means that at least you can
flip channels and see how a story's being portrayed by
various networks and maybe from that come to your conclusion.
What I find interesting, however, is that as the news
(09:41):
business is dying, and they are dying, especially particularly on
the left, as that is happening, they don't seem willing
or able to self correct because they have no sense
of self awareness. They don't realize they're the problem. They
(10:02):
hate you, and they just keep getting madder at you.
But there's not enough of them to support them. They've
tried liberal talk radio again and again and again, and
they just can't get it. They cannot get it. There
are so many conservative talkers in this country. There are
(10:22):
people that are lifelong liberals who wanted to be talkers
and switched over to being a conservative. Some of them
are national now some of them and I'm not faulting them.
Look as long as they're saying what I think is
the right thing, I really they don't care where they
came from. But there are people. There is so much
conservative content out there. There's kind of right wing neocon conservative,
(10:47):
a lot of that. There's conservatorian, there's more libertarian than conservatorian.
But that's where the American public is now. So A
new in depth study by the supposedly non partisan but
very left leaning Pew Research Center found that sixty five
percent of the nearly twelve thousand journalists surveyed say the
(11:12):
media do a solid job of quote covering the most
important stories of the day and reporting news accurately. Sixty
five percent of the twelve thousand journalists believe, yeah, they're
doing a great job, but a solid majority of the
American public at large has the opposite view. Only thirty
(11:33):
five percent of them feel that way. That's a thirty
thirty point perception gap that means these people have no
clue how they are perceived. When asked if journalists perform
well when quote serving as a watchdog over elected leaders,
(11:55):
fifty two percent of journalists agreed, but the number dropped
precipitously when the general public was asked, with fewer than
thirty percent agreeing with the assessment. When asked if journalists
manage and correct misinformation consistently, forty three percent of those
(12:19):
in the industry said yes, So look, more than half
of them agree, yeah, we don't do that very well.
While just twenty five percent of the general public agreed.
Almost half forty six percent of journalists said they felt
connected to their readers and viewers, while just one quarter
of the public says they feel connected to the media
outlets from which they get their news. And imagine that.
(12:44):
Imagine that there was once a day of Walter cronkink
Edward R.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Murrow.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We respected and admired these people. Bob Schiffer, longtime journalist,
did a piece several years ago on how insulated journalists
have become. Here's an example. In the twenty twenty election,
just nine percent of Manhattan voters voted for Donald Trump.
(13:13):
In DC he got just five point four percent. Think
about that. So these people that's where they live. They
live in New York and DC. They're surrounded by other
people who view the world exactly and so you get
a confirmation bias. You know, how do the people in
Charlie Manson's cult think what they're doing is okay because
(13:35):
everybody around them says it is. If everybody around you
lives in a polygamous cult, you think that's normal. That's
why they don't let you see the outside world. That's
why in Iran and China. They shut off the outside world,
the Internet and television. And because as long as you
don't know what else is going on out there, you
(13:55):
think the whole world is living the way you are.
Just give you a couple of examples of how out
of touch the media is. And look, we could play
this game all day. I get it. Let's start with
Don Lemon.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
I don't do opinion, and I know that the difference
for me is I do point of view. So I'm
giving my point of view as an American, as a
black man who happens to be gay. But I'm through
that lens. But I'm also I'm also I also represent CNN,
and so I must tell the truth. And if I don't,
if my facts are wrong, then I have to clarify
(14:31):
it and I have to come on television and I
have to apologize and I say I got that wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
How about we do a little montage of this unbiased
because they think they are this unbiased news. This is
a montage of CNN and MSNBC.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
You're hitting a lot of Republicans who are outrage over
President Biden's handling of the exit, especially in the so
called Freedom Caucus. If they support the former guy, the
one who set all of this in motion in.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The first place.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
The hypocrisy is off the charts and it is sickening.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
All right, everybody, good evening. We begin the readout tonight
with two cases which will once again tell us where
we are as a country. Whether armed primarily white men
can continue to take matters into their own hands and
serve as judge, jury, and executioner.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I had this segment laid out where I was
going to call out all of the people who are
prolonging this pandemic with phony COVID cures and anti vaccine garbage.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Now in a moment, you're going to see the sheer
spectacle of a sitting Republican US senator, one of the
most powerful individuals in the country, representing one of the
biggest states in the nation, pretty much grobbling at the
feet of a right wing cable TV entertainer, which certainly
reflects the state of the Union.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Was the peaceful transfer of power in January something of
a miracle.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
We're moving toward a kind of politics where I remember
the new Republican strategy is to follow voters to their cars.
They now have normalized the idea of using political violence
to get the ends they want that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
About twenty million people across America watched Thursday's prime time hearing.
Speaker 11 (16:06):
Twenty million viewers is in the ballpark with big television
events like.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Sunday Night football. Oh my god, But I want you
to compare.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Those twenty million viewers with the biggest ratings. Donald Trump
gardnered for his reality show.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Awent fourteen Show of Celebrity Fami.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
This was the build up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
They had seven point six million viewers.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's what's become of independent, impartial, non biased, unbiased objective journalism.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Of job creation in the United States since February of
nineteen twenty, over fifty percent of the three million net
jobs added in the last three years we're created in
only two states. Can you guess? Texas and Florida? In
(17:09):
other words, take those two states out and you reduce
to only half the job description out of the other
forty eight states. The proof is in the putting. It's
why federalism works on many levels when you have fifty
different states with fifty different sets of rules, regulations, courts, laws, cultures.
(17:36):
This is why democrats don't want states to be able
to do anything other than what the federal government tells
them to do because they want crammed down policies at
the national level. That way, Texas or Florida won't be
able to reduce their tax rate and see how that works.
(18:00):
They won't be able to reduce the choke hold regulation
on businesses. They won't be able to allow the individual
to own a gun. After basic safeguards are put in place,
they'll be able to take away the guns from everybody
but the cops and the criminals. Good luck waiting on
(18:20):
the cops to get there, because if it's three minutes,
that's two minutes fifty seconds too long, not their fault,
but fifty laboratories to experiment, and the beauty of those
laboratories are. Then you really get to see how California's
leftist policies are hurting them. California has the prettiest weather
(18:43):
in topography in the country. Is there any doubt Is
there any doubt of that? No, It's why so many
people moved out there once the industries began to develop,
particularly for creative people, the movies and music and those
sorts of things. It's why people moved from New York
(19:06):
out there to enjoy the wonderful weather, followed by Florida.
That's no secret. But look at how many people have
moved from California to Florida because you've got similar weather
and much better regulatory environment, much better culture. When every
(19:30):
state can create their own framework for how you live
that the people of that state embrace and embody, then
the rest of us can say, I might like to
move to Florida or Texas or Tennessee or Louisiana or
Mississippi or Georgia. And that's what people are doing. And
(19:53):
how many people are now moving to California or New
York or Illinois. The Blue states are watching jobs disappear,
and those jobs are not just going away, they're relocating
to the Red states. They're relocating to better, more business
(20:20):
friendly environments, more freedom friendly environments. My wife was Secretary
of State of Texas almost ten years and nine years ago,
and one of her responsibilities was economic development, So she
spent a lot of time talking to companies looking to
move to Texas and those companies were primarily from California,
(20:47):
New York, and Illinois, and they were blown away. You
mean you have no income tax. No, we have a
franchise tax. But no income tax, but it's a lower
tax burden, to be clear. And you are going to
take pay property taxes, and you are going to have
a franchise tax on your business, but you're not going
to have that income tax. It's going to make a
(21:09):
huge difference. Wow. Yeah, And we don't allow it. We
have tort reform here. We don't allow you to get
sued just because you're a business and somebody wants to
make make you know, wants a lottery ticket of what
can they get out of you? And and and and
fill in the blank. All the different reasons people wanted
to come to this state, dramatic reasons to come to
(21:35):
this state. Those reasons matter, and it makes a big
difference for how businesses operate. The problem is the mentality
in Washington, d C. Is the same mentality of the
Blue States, and the same mentality that is lost. That
that that has resulted in job losses and wealth loss
(22:00):
in the Blue States has been brought to the federal
government and that is bringing our country down. We are
not improving our ability to manufacture, We're not improving our
ability to find and improve upon energy sources. We are
(22:22):
not improving on our ability to do business. Whatever reason
you may think for the United States to be the
world's superpower, it is not primarily our military. It is
primarily our economy. The fact that we could create so
(22:46):
much wealth meant we could build a great military. The
fact that we had stability in our court system, the
fact that we had a sense of fairness and opportunity,
meant that we became the dream team, the all star
team for the world. We didn't build this great country
(23:08):
on illegal aliens fleeing the court systems and the prison
systems and as cartel operatives coming through our southern border.
We got the best and brightest Jews fleeing Nazi Germany
that would go on to make great developments and discoveries
and inventions came to this country. Irani's fleeing, the Homani cartel,
(23:41):
the Muslim theocracy came to this country. Indians who wanted
to learn engineering, in physics and mathematics came to this country.
The world came to this country. Money flowed to this country.
Now that is changing, and it's not accidental, and it's
(24:08):
not fatalistic, and it's not a destiny. It's bad decisions.
Our bad decision in Ukraine pushed Russia in a corner,
and Russian Russia turned out to be a very very
powerful foe in convincing the Chinese how they could bring
(24:28):
us harm that and the Chinese owned Joe Biden, who's
collapsing our government in front of us. And we are
watching a reordering on the world stage that is going
to be a generational setback. It's coming. Inflation in levels
you've not seen in your lifetime, a reduction in the
(24:52):
quality the standard of living in this country that you've
not seen in your lifetime, a setback of all the
great gains. It is coming. I don't wish it to come.
I don't revel in it. I see it, and I'm
preparing for it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Very brigade activate the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You've all heard of the reference to the slippery slope, right.
I was reading a report yesterday in a medical journal
that said that cigarettes are a gateway to more powerful drugs,
and it's not. There are lots of there's been lots
(25:40):
of study of this over the years. But one of
the reasons they find that to be the case. I'm sorry,
not cigarettes marijuana is that it opens up receptors to addiction.
No out I don't believe that marijuana should be illegal.
(26:03):
You're free to disagree with me. You're free to think
I'm a horrible person. That's fine, and you're free to think, well,
the only thinks that because he's a user. I'm not
a user. I have tried it, but it didn't do
anything for me. I do like bourbon and wine and beer.
And there was a time that the same mindset was
(26:25):
in effect with that we had prohibition in this country,
might I remind you, And it did not end well.
In fact, our government, this same United States government, during prohibition,
one of their ways to get people to stop drinking,
which they couldn't seem to be able to do, was
they sent out poisoned alcohol so that when people would
(26:48):
consume the alcohol, they would die. And that was supposed
to spread fear in the land that I don't want
to drink that alcohol or I'll die. But it didn't work.
But the government murdered people for their purposes. Wow, was
that a precursor That should have been our wake up
(27:09):
call to stop trusting a government. And that was one
hundred years ago. The only thing that came out of
that prohibition was NASCAR. The mafia was more powerful than ever.
You see, when people want something bad enough, they'll go
underground to get it. You can't just say, can't just
(27:31):
by legislative fiat say not gonna happen. But I have
to ask you, you know, when we talk about the
slippery slopes of arguments, if I were to ask you,
let's take the pandemic. What more could our government have
(27:53):
done to punish us? What more tyranny could they have
visited upon us that they did? If we started with
them doing nothing, how far from there to the worst
thing you can imagine did we get? In Australia, they
locked people into prisons. In China, they literally fastened the
(28:17):
doors closed. You could not escape. Can you imagine how
claustrophobic you had to feel. Can you imagine how mad
you would have to go in that rubber room. That's
a torture palace. That's awful. Our government may not have
gone that far, but they went pretty damn far. Do
you remember the moms that were out in the park
(28:40):
because they lived in tiny apartments and their kids were
stir crazy, and the moms needed a moment. These kids
needed some fresh air, and they took them out and
they arrested them in front of their children, mothers and
fathers in front of their children. You wouldn't believe that
would happen in this country, but it did. Go look
(29:01):
up the Tuskegee syphilis study. It's a wonder black people
trust the government to this day. Go look at what
they did to black people so they could study syphilis,
treating them like mice, like animals. How quickly people have
forgotten what our government has done where our government has lied.
(29:26):
Was fdr In any way aware ahead of time or
more of Pearl Harbor? I don't know, but I'll tell
you the people who said that he was and allowed
it to happen, because that inspired the action that inspired
us to get into the war, that dragged us into
(29:47):
the war. This idea of provoking a clash, a shooting,
a riot, a murder, this is not new. You remember
the white punk in South Carolina that went into a
prayer group and as the members of the church were
holding his hand to pray over him, he pulls out
(30:09):
his gun and shoots all of them. Do you remember
why he did it? He wanted to incite a race riot.
The Blacks would be so angry over this that they'd
start killing white people. So, if you were the devil,
(30:36):
what would you do that's not currently being done? I
send it to the Great Paul Harvey.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
If I were the devil, If I were the devil,
if I were the Prince of darkness, I'd want to
indulp the whole world in darkness, and I'd have a
third of its real estate and four fifths of its population.
But I wouldn't be happy. I have seized the ripest
apple on the tree the So I'd set about, however
(31:06):
necessary to take over the United States. I'd subvert the churches. First.
I'd begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom
of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I
whispered to Eve, do as you please. To the young,
I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I
would convince them that man created God instead of the
other way around. I would confide that what's bad is
(31:28):
good and what's good is square. And the old I
would teach to pray after me our father, which are
in Washington. And then I'd get organized. I'd educate authors
in how to make the lirid literature exciting, so that
anything else would appear dull. And noninteresting. I'd threaten TV
(31:50):
with dirtier movies and vice versa. I peddle narcotics to
whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen
of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pill If I
were the Devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves,
churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with
themselves until each in its turn was consumed, and with
(32:12):
promises of higher ratings. I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to
refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions, just let
those run wild until before you knew it. You'd have
to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every
school house door. Within a decade, i'd have prisons overflowing.
(32:39):
I'd have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God
from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from
the houses of Congress and in his own churches. I
would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would
lure priests and pastures into misusing boys and girls, and
church money. If I so the devil, I'd make the
(33:01):
symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas
a bottle. If I were the devil, I'd take from
those who have and give to those who wanted, until
I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And what
will you bet? I couldn't get whole states to promote
gambling as the way to get rich.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I would caution.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned,
that swinging is more fun, that what you see on
TV is the way to be. And thus I could
undress you in public, and I could lure you into
(33:49):
bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In
other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep
right on doing what he's doing.
