Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have been hearing from a number of listeners with
concerns about backdoor gun regulation. Fact of the matter is,
gun regulation by Congress is unpopular. That's why they don't
pass laws. That's why they hide, that's why they campaign
on it. When they have control of the House, Senate,
(00:22):
in the White House, they don't act aggressively like they
do with spending bills, for instance, because the public is
against it. I've said this for years, folks. There are
a lot of people out there that will let the
government tax them into bankruptcy without ever raising their voice.
But you dare try to take their gun, they recognize that.
(00:46):
That is how they leave you helpless, and they want
you helpless for a reason. People get it, they understand
it well. One of the things I've been hearing from
a lot of listeners is concern and not just gun
shops and gun buyers and sellers, but concerns with regard
to credit card purchases and how this is sort of
(01:07):
a back doorway to de facto limit gun sales. And
it's very disturbing. So we went out and asked Sam Paratus,
California's executive director of Gun Owners of America, to join
us and explain to us and you exactly what's happening.
Sam take it away.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, Michael, you're absolutely correct. We have not only the
specter of the two pre eminent law enforcement agencies FBI
and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco on farms and Explosives
that are ginning up and creating laws that they have
no authority to do. We now have this effort with
the support of the anti gun movement and anti gun
(01:48):
members of the Congress, who have pushed the major banks
and the credit card suppliers to create this special number
with the ISO, which is the organism Internet organization that
establishes categories to identify purchases with credit cards, and they
are giving a special tag to any purchases made by
(02:12):
gun stores. That means that anything that you buy from
a gun store can actually be tracked, and the credit
card agencies can give this information to law enforcement or
departments of justice at various states upon request in order
for them to have the ability to track the fact
that you are buying things at gun stores. And it
(02:35):
really doesn't matter if his guns or animal or tents
or clothing or shoes or dry light, food or backpacks.
It doesn't matter they will identify any expenditure that you
make at a gun store and flag it. Number one,
they can prevent the sale from going through until they
contact you or you contact them in order to verify
(02:58):
that this is an approved expenditure, and you'll have to
explain to them what it is that you are buying.
Number two, they can send that information to the BATF
or the FBI for tracking. And number three, at the
request of departments of Justice, which we just heard here
in California, the Turned General is requesting that information from
(03:20):
credit card companies and banks so that they can track
people who are spending their dollars at gun stores. So
it doesn't matter if it's a say, four thousand dollars
safe you go on your buy a safe. Oh my goodness,
they think you might be buying a bunch of illicit
guns for evil purposes, and therefore they're going to stop
the transaction, put you on a list, and identify you
(03:42):
as a possible future criminal. So it's hideous, man.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, one thing people should be concerned about because a
number of our listeners over the years I've noticed with
stop and see it with Fourth Amendment protections. I'll talk
about why you don't want just random checkpoints. You don't
want knock down your door to check in your bedroom
or in your bedside stand, and you know, rifle the
(04:09):
Patriot Act and rifling through your bank transactions. They have
this idea, well, if you're not doing anything wrong, well,
the government accumulating harvesting your information. We have seen again
and again where they will use that toward nefarious ends.
And so your protection is that they don't get it
(04:31):
in the first place. The problem here is it's a
non governmental entity. Visa MasterCard is MX part of.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
This, American Express is part of.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It, okay, And so the problem is is they're using
these third party individuals, these third party corporations to harvest
information that could then be used against people. I mean,
this is their gun tracking effectively.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Michael, you hit the nail on the head there. They
are trying to be so sneaky about this, which is
odious to use these third party actors as the repository
of the information for them. This way they can they
can claim with with with their tongue and their cheeks
saying we're not keeping these databases, we are not doing
(05:20):
this these registries, when in fact, because they have total
access to the registries that are collected by the banks
and the credit card companies. It is the same thing.
They they can delve into those. It is like it's
like it's it's a terrible situation and they're lying through
their teeth. They're making it seem like it's not something
(05:42):
that it really is. So it's it's yeah, we have
plenty to be concerned about if you don't want to
be tracked. Let's face it, the only purpose for registration
is to eventually confiscate firearms. Registration people who have worked
for atf ANDI have said has never, rarely, if ever
(06:03):
been successful in helping them sell the crime, but it
has been used to confiscate guns. Here in the state
of California. On two separate occasions, gun registries were used
to confiscate guns from lawful citizens in the state of
California who were complying with the law, but the laws
changed and those registry systems were used to confiscate those guns.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It is the proverbial camel's nose under the tim sam
paraitis thanks for being our guests, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's always a pleasure, Michael. I look forward to being
with you again.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Fellas you know that when the government says just the tip,
they don't mean just the tip.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
There's more to like on Facebook, like The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And now it's time for another episode of One Minute
Inside a Woman's Head.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I still haven't gotten the hang of buying concert ticket online.
First you have to log in improve you're not a robot?
What kind of robot wants to see adel. By the
time you're done, all the good seats are gone except
that one seat in the middle, nowhere near the aisle.
I love me an ile easier to go to the bathroom.
In high school, you could just stand in line at
a record store to buy tickets, maybe meet some guys
(07:20):
who wanted to go to the same show. It didn't
even matter who was playing, as long as you got
a shirt to wear to school the next day, and
you could talk about how awesome the show was. Sometimes
I look in my closet and think, really, I saw
Matchbox twenty. What's this a service charge for what I
do all this and print out the tickets they should
be paying me. Okay, let me enter these weird LSD
(07:43):
letters to prove I'm not a robot. Shemer bag gear.
Oh that must have been wrong. Now it's gorb or oof.
What's hilarious is that we're supposed to prove we're not
a robot by typing in something generated by a robot.
What timed out? Oh, I hate technology?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
And that was another episode of One Minute Inside a
Woman's Head.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Chicago POPO arrested Jania Williams, eighteen, and charged her with
terrorism and issuing false threats. What did miss Williams do
at eighteen years old? Well, first you need to know.
She's a security guard at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.
She is said to have transmitted an anonymous message to
(08:31):
her Andy Frame Services supervisor using the text now app,
which said, quote mass shooting at four pm location Lollapalooza.
We have one hundred and fifty targets. She allegedly told
her supervisor that her sister also saw a comparable threat
(08:53):
made on Facebook. She allegedly faked a mass shooting alert
at Lollapaloosa so she could leave work early. As first
reported by CWB, the guard is charged with sending a
fake text threatening the festival to a coworker, who then
(09:14):
alerted supervisors. The text, as we noted, read mass shooting
at four pm location Lollapalooza. We have one hundred and
fifty targets that set off a chain reaction with the
Keystone cops at Chicago and the FBI, who later determined
it was a fake. She is charged with making a
(09:35):
false terrorism threat. She appeared in bondcourt and is being
held in custody in lieu of fifty thousand dollars in bail.
She doesn't have the five thousand. She can't cough up
the five thousand dollars immediately. Listen to this story ABC
seven in Chicago.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
The eighteen year old security guard is now facing charges
after allegedly faking a mass shooting alert at Lollapalooza. Prosecutors
say that she admitted doing it so that she could
leave work early. As first reported by CWB Chicago, the
guard is accused of sending a text message about the
bogus threat to a coworker and creating a Facebook post
(10:14):
with the threat. The coworker alerted supervisors, which set off
a chain reaction with Chicago police and the FBI. The
threat later found to be fake. The guard is now
charged with making a false terrorism threat.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's not funny, but it's funny. Well, you remember when
you were a teenager and you had to work, and
you liked having a job because you had money, But
there was nothing as thrilling as that day you had
to shift for Saturday night and your buddies were going
to do something fun, or you had Saturday morning and
your buddies were going fishing, And so you might call
(10:52):
in sick even though you weren't. You didn't call in
a bomb threat. You just call in sick. You'd try
to make your voice sound like you'd been coughing, so
right before you made that call, you'd cough a bunch
of times so that you couldn't get your breath, and
(11:12):
you know, real method actor kind of stuff. You had
to get into character, and then you would put on
the performance of your life. Ring ring ring ring.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Hello, Yeah, mister Johnson, It's Michael Berry. Sorry. What's I'm
gonna be there a little bit later. I'm real sick.
I got COVID. I'm real sick. But no, no, no, you
stayed home, No no them, I got COVID. But I'm
gonna be there because I don't want to miss work
(11:46):
and put you on a bad situation and everything and
you know not, I'll be there to see.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Before COVID, if you claim you were that, go we
don't care. You're an entry level minimum wage employee. Three
dollars and thirty five cents. We can't replace you. Somebody's
got to scoop the ice cream. Get down here, Get
down here now, and you'd go in and you might
not have been sick, but you might have been. Before COVID,
(12:18):
when people were sick, they just oh, keep going, get
in here. I don't care if youre sick or not.
Get in here and sneeze all over, breathe all over
the ice cream or the hamburgers of the French fries.
One decent thing that came out of COVID was that
at least people understand, hey, if you have something contagious,
(12:38):
stay home, stay home till it passes, don't go out
in public. Show a little bit of compassion for other people.
I'm not a mask wearer, I'm not a vaxer, none
of that. But if you're sick, and that's not just COVID,
it's the other COVID, the common cold, and it's certainly
(12:58):
the flu. My wife laughs because I won't do the jabs.
I won't do the mask. I won't stay six feet away.
But if you say to me, hey, I know we're
supposed to meet this evening at SEVENOT thirty, I may
or may not have been exposed to COVID. No, no, no,
it will wait. There's nothing about our meeting that is
(13:19):
important enough that I need to risk getting that crap.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But I thought you didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I think my brother died from it or from the vaccine.
I don't know. He was on the tail end of
COVID when he passed. He was only fifty four years old.
What am I left to wonder? Of course, I'm left
to wonder was it COVID or was it the vaccine?
He had COVID? But there are people. Just see the
Pfizer CEO, after making billions of dollars for that company,
(13:47):
telling us that you could not get it, we'd stop
the spread if you just got the vaccine. Now he's
got it, of course he does. That damn thing does
more harm than good. Guaranteed, we're gonna find out that
damn thing does more harm than good, and people have
died because of it. I believe that, in fact, I'm
certain of it. But back to the point, that's too serious.
(14:08):
Don't want to be that serious right now? Calling in sick.
I tell you what, We're not going to do it
on the show right now, but if you'll take a minute,
make it brief, get right to it, and tell me
when you called in sick. Sometime you called in sick.
That may be you weren't, which you know. That whole
thing's got me thinking we don't enjoy prank calls the
(14:31):
way we used to. You know, caller ID. Now somebody
calls with a block number, you're already suspect. But before
caller ID, prank calls wereth a deal.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Hello, how you during Haina? I'm calling to ask you
about the wigs you got down now? Do you make
any wigs out of the two point two pound polyester
five of it is humidity and fireproof.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
What kind of wig y'all have down there? It's on sale, honey.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's a human humidity wig. Oh, he's synthetic human hair.
And do that stay right looking? I mean, do it
mess up on your head or do it shwank up
when it rains and anything? Well, you know, my hair
is just so raggedy. I hate to go to a
wig A stronger wig, but look like I'm gonna have
to I come see. Do y'all give a discount for ignorance? Okay, good,
(15:30):
thank you, darling, Bye, honey.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Michael Berry known as Theizar also known as El Casino.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
All right, don't call me crazy, but just follow along
here for a moment. I'm not joking on this. I'm
that serious. What I'm about to say is not a parody.
It's not a joke. There's not going to be a
funny bit at the end of it. It's not a setup.
I have been pondering on dealing with liberals. White liberals
(16:09):
are the problem. The Martha's Vineyard set that lost their
minds after after the illegals were dropped off there, but
have insulted Texans who've had to deal with far worse
than that for far longer. They weren't even there for
twenty four hours. I have come to the conclusion that
these people are toxic, and they cannot be helped, and
(16:31):
they cannot be fixed. I've come to the conclusion that
you should not hire them, you should not do business
with them if you can help it, you should not
in any way associate with them, because it will only
end badly. They will ruin your love of country. Surround
yourself with good people. Surround yourself with the kind of
(16:52):
people you want to be. I seek out friends who
have succeeded in some field and achieved greatness, because I
want to know what it took to be great at
what they did, and then maybe I can take from
that and be great at what I do. Be that
(17:14):
talk show host, influencer, dad, husband, employer. I want to
learn from people who've been the best at throwing a
football or kicking a football or hitting a golf ball,
or building a company, or manufacturing things or inventing things,
(17:34):
or teaching things or preaching things. Surround yourself with people
you love who love you. If you have people in
your life who you do not love or who do
not love you, it strikes me as very odd. How
many people will tell me that they don't like their
(17:57):
brother in law, but they're going fishing with him this weekend,
or he's coming over. You can say no. If you've
got a relative who comes to your house and torments
you the entire time they're there about Trump or anything else,
you can say no to that. You don't have to
tolerate that. You can either tell your wife. I don't
(18:18):
care that your brother wants to come over. I don't
care that he's your brother. I'm tired of him talking
to me that way. If anybody else talk to me
that way, I'd punch him in the face. And you
can confront him. You can do back to him what
he does to you. What liberals will do is they
don't get in your face and scream at you that
you're an awful person. They pick, they pick, they needle.
(18:40):
They do it in such a way that when they
have finally picked at the wrong person who yells at
them or punches him in the face, they go, what.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Are you doing?
Speaker 8 (18:49):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Why are you overreacting? I don't want you to talk
about that again. I don't want you to talk to
me that way again. You're allowed to say that, but
follow me here. And granted I understand this price sounds
crazy if it's the first time you've heard me say this.
I believe there is a biblical prohibition against marrying democrats.
(19:14):
Hold on Deuteronomy seven three through four, Look it up.
The Israelites are told you shall not enter marry with them,
giving your daughters to their sons, or taking their daughters
for your sons, For they would turn away your sons
from following me to serve other gods. Then the anger
(19:37):
of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he
would destroy you quickly. Well, this prohibition, as you know,
was to avoid the contagion of false gods. See, if
you give your daughter into the family of worshipers of
(19:59):
fat gods, they will convert your daughter to worship a
false god. What's a false god? The state? Socialism, globalism,
global warming, pandemic love. All of these things that the
(20:21):
state shall do, all that the government shall do, all
this is a religion. It's not just a political theory.
It's a religion. And that's why communists always destroy the church,
because the state cannot compete with the church if the
state is a religion. When the Jews were returned to
(20:42):
Jerusalem after the captivity in Babylon, do you remember who
was so distressed to learn that some of the returnees
had taken wives from the local population. Ezra. Ezra was concerned.
It was sort of like Vietnam, where American gis would
go to Vietnam and come back with Vietnamese wives. Ezra
(21:05):
was concerned that his people when returning had taken wives
from the local population. Because just as you don't want
to give your daughter over to those who worship false gods,
neither do you want the worshippers of false god's daughters
to come into your home, because that is an insidious,
cancerous invasion. A trojan horse. In Ezra ten two through three,
(21:31):
Ezra was praying, a large group of Israelites came to
him in repentance. They made a proposal to fix the problem. Quote,
we have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign
women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this,
there is still hope for Israel. Now, let us make
(21:51):
a covenant before our God to send away all these
women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of
my Lord and of those who fear the commands of
our God. Let it be done according to the law.
The purpose of this covenant would be to once again
set apart the Jewish people as fully devoted to the Lord,
(22:14):
and remove any and all connections with those who worshiped
other gods. The agreement required the men of Judah to
do what do you remember, to divorce their pagan wives.
Ezra agreed that the covenant. This covenant was the proper course,
(22:36):
and he commanded, quote, you have been unfaithful. You have
married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. Now honor the Lord,
the god of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate
yourselves from the peoples around you and your foreign wives.
Took them three months, but they got rid of their wives,
(23:00):
and they fixed the problem of allowing the left into
their lives. I'm telling you, separate from the liberals, get
them out of your life. You'll be happier, more productive,
more patriotic, and live longer. She was twelve, I was thirty.
(23:21):
But anyway, it was wonderful to have you, mister President.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The Michael Berry Show, Jimmy Allen Stewart and Stewart and
Tim Nichols recorded this song.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
It was also recorded by Mobambi, But the more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think this is probably the more popular version. It's uh,
did I say it was Keith Whitley, Earl Thomas Gone, etc.
Jimmy Allan Stewart wrote some songs, but Tim Nichols body
of wit. I have often said that songwriters don't get
the do today that they deserve because they're what used
(24:08):
to be the great poets, the Tennyson's, the Shakespeares, the
frost the Emerson's, I mean, the Whipman's. These guys are special,
and you see it with guys that just wrote so many.
Tim Nichols wrote when Mamma Ain't happy for Tracy Bird,
(24:29):
he wrote for you, look at the list of people
who recorded his stuff, Trace Atkins, Terry Clark, John Corbett,
Billy Dean, faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Sammy Kershaw. He wrote
Vadelia for Sammy Kershaw. When you hear that song, you
know it's more than an onion, and you think of
it as Sammy Kershaw. There's nothing wrong with that. Sammy
(24:51):
Kershaw made that song his own, but he didn't write it.
He had to. Those words had to be taken from
the ether and put down on paper for him to
see that that is the creation that is no less
glorious than building a skyscraper, or an airplane, or a
(25:14):
car or a sculpture. It is a work of art
that one minute it doesn't exist, and then it does.
That's that's that's worth noting. Aaron Tippin van Zant, Keith Whitley.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
He wrote I'm Over You for Keith Whitley, Chris Young,
Keith Anderson, Clay Walker, lea Ane Walmack, Blackhawk. I mean,
these are all artists and I haven't even listed them all.
That Joe Nichols, that Tim Nichols, Joey was that Tim
Nichols wrote for He wrote what's the one for Joe Nichols?
(25:52):
She only smokes when she drinks. That's a funny song,
you know that song? All right to the phone lines,
we go, Cody, You're up.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Go ahead, sir, Yes, I gotta say they got a chance.
McClean he is one. I mean, he is one amazing dude.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Is uh.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
I was blown away just by the way he was
able to connect with everybody that he spoke to about,
you know, our our family member that we had that
was going through some things and we wanted him to
actually speak the chance, but he looked me dead in
my eyes and told me, there's no way I'm gonna
talk to a stranger about my feelings or about anything
going on in my life.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So uh, you know what's funny. The greatest impediment to
getting heritage films done is that the family wants it done,
and the mother or the father will resist and they
have to wear them down and finally go, look, they're
gonna have to do this, Okay, it's not gonna be hard.
(26:57):
It's and they always every time they walk away, when
when the when, when the filming is over, they chance
will go, all right, is there anything else? That's the
fifth time he's asked me, is there anything else? You'd
like to say? No, I believe that's it. All right,
then we're done. We're done. Yeah, we're done. I got
(27:18):
nothing else unless you That's why I'll stay here as
long as you want. It's over, sir, I've been here
for six hours. You know, Man, that went fast. That
was fun. He eats lunch with him. I mean, it's
you know, it's interesting. You get to know somebody pretty
darn well when you show up in the morning and
set all your stuff up in their living room. You
(27:38):
spend the morning with them, you eat lunch with them,
you spend the afternoon filming, and you talk about your
life and you know you're sharing with the stranger. And
for some people it's actually easier to to share with
the stranger, right because there's no judgment and he doesn't
judge you. And at the end of it, they always
say that was so much easier than I expected. Is
(27:59):
I don't know what people well, A lot of older
folks are not used to sharing their stories, sharing their
They don't think of themselves as somebody who's interesting. But
to our families, we're all interesting. And that's why I
love to have guests on and get them. Whatever somebody
called to talk about is almost never as interesting as
(28:23):
one thing about them that they don't think is interesting.
And that might be what they do for a living,
where they grew up, where they served, who they married,
who they divorced, how many times they've been divorced, that
time they got shot. Everybody's got a great story. It's
just a question. It's just a question of me being
able to ask a question that gets them to open
(28:44):
them up to something that maybe they weren't ready to
they weren't ready to tell, and that's just that's a
function of them feeling comfortable. And part of the reason
that people open up to me is because I come
into their truck every day, or their living room, or
(29:05):
how about lois turning ninety five? How great is that?
Or you know their workplace or whatever else. I love
hearing stories when people will say, hey, Michael. I went
down to accurate meter in supply and I walked in
and do you know this, fella, Dane, he's got your
show on at the inside there and they listened to you.
(29:31):
Did you know that? No? I didn't. Dane Burson's listener,
he's called the show before, but I had no idea that,
Oh yeah, they got you show, Blair, and they don't
care who hears it. They're proud of you. I love
those So if that's you, send me an email. I'll
give you. I'll give you a little love on the
air if you play our show out loud for people
(29:51):
to hear when they walk in the door, and you
really don't care what they think about it, Send me
an email right now. Michael Berryshow dot com is our website,
Michael Berry Show dot com. Won should we do another hour?
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Are you done?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'm about to warslap out. Not allowed to it. We
may or may not be back.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
M
I have been hearing from a number of listeners with
concerns about backdoor gun regulation. Fact of the matter is,
gun regulation by Congress is unpopular. That's why they don't
pass laws. That's why they hide, that's why they campaign
on it. When they have control of the House, Senate,
(00:22):
in the White House, they don't act aggressively like they
do with spending bills, for instance, because the public is
against it. I've said this for years, folks. There are
a lot of people out there that will let the
government tax them into bankruptcy without ever raising their voice.
But you dare try to take their gun, they recognize that.
(00:46):
That is how they leave you helpless, and they want
you helpless for a reason. People get it, they understand
it well. One of the things I've been hearing from
a lot of listeners is concern and not just gun
shops and gun buyers and sellers, but concerns with regard
to credit card purchases and how this is sort of
(01:07):
a back doorway to de facto limit gun sales. And
it's very disturbing. So we went out and asked Sam Paratus,
California's executive director of Gun Owners of America, to join
us and explain to us and you exactly what's happening.
Sam take it away.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, Michael, you're absolutely correct. We have not only the
specter of the two pre eminent law enforcement agencies FBI
and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco on farms and Explosives
that are ginning up and creating laws that they have
no authority to do. We now have this effort with
the support of the anti gun movement and anti gun
(01:48):
members of the Congress, who have pushed the major banks
and the credit card suppliers to create this special number
with the ISO, which is the organism Internet organization that
establishes categories to identify purchases with credit cards, and they
are giving a special tag to any purchases made by
(02:12):
gun stores. That means that anything that you buy from
a gun store can actually be tracked, and the credit
card agencies can give this information to law enforcement or
departments of justice at various states upon request in order
for them to have the ability to track the fact
that you are buying things at gun stores. And it
(02:35):
really doesn't matter if his guns or animal or tents
or clothing or shoes or dry light, food or backpacks.
It doesn't matter they will identify any expenditure that you
make at a gun store and flag it. Number one,
they can prevent the sale from going through until they
contact you or you contact them in order to verify
(02:58):
that this is an approved expenditure, and you'll have to
explain to them what it is that you are buying.
Number two, they can send that information to the BATF
or the FBI for tracking. And number three, at the
request of departments of Justice, which we just heard here
in California, the Turned General is requesting that information from
(03:20):
credit card companies and banks so that they can track
people who are spending their dollars at gun stores. So
it doesn't matter if it's a say, four thousand dollars
safe you go on your buy a safe. Oh my goodness,
they think you might be buying a bunch of illicit
guns for evil purposes, and therefore they're going to stop
the transaction, put you on a list, and identify you
(03:42):
as a possible future criminal. So it's hideous, man.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, one thing people should be concerned about because a
number of our listeners over the years I've noticed with
stop and see it with Fourth Amendment protections. I'll talk
about why you don't want just random checkpoints. You don't
want knock down your door to check in your bedroom
or in your bedside stand, and you know, rifle the
(04:09):
Patriot Act and rifling through your bank transactions. They have
this idea, well, if you're not doing anything wrong, well,
the government accumulating harvesting your information. We have seen again
and again where they will use that toward nefarious ends.
And so your protection is that they don't get it
(04:31):
in the first place. The problem here is it's a
non governmental entity. Visa MasterCard is MX part of.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
This, American Express is part of.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It, okay, And so the problem is is they're using
these third party individuals, these third party corporations to harvest
information that could then be used against people. I mean,
this is their gun tracking effectively.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Michael, you hit the nail on the head there. They
are trying to be so sneaky about this, which is
odious to use these third party actors as the repository
of the information for them. This way they can they
can claim with with with their tongue and their cheeks
saying we're not keeping these databases, we are not doing
(05:20):
this these registries, when in fact, because they have total
access to the registries that are collected by the banks
and the credit card companies. It is the same thing.
They they can delve into those. It is like it's
like it's it's a terrible situation and they're lying through
their teeth. They're making it seem like it's not something
(05:42):
that it really is. So it's it's yeah, we have
plenty to be concerned about if you don't want to
be tracked. Let's face it, the only purpose for registration
is to eventually confiscate firearms. Registration people who have worked
for atf ANDI have said has never, rarely, if ever
(06:03):
been successful in helping them sell the crime, but it
has been used to confiscate guns. Here in the state
of California. On two separate occasions, gun registries were used
to confiscate guns from lawful citizens in the state of
California who were complying with the law, but the laws
changed and those registry systems were used to confiscate those guns.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It is the proverbial camel's nose under the tim sam
paraitis thanks for being our guests, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's always a pleasure, Michael. I look forward to being
with you again.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Fellas you know that when the government says just the tip,
they don't mean just the tip.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
There's more to like on Facebook, like The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And now it's time for another episode of One Minute
Inside a Woman's Head.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I still haven't gotten the hang of buying concert ticket online.
First you have to log in improve you're not a robot?
What kind of robot wants to see adel. By the
time you're done, all the good seats are gone except
that one seat in the middle, nowhere near the aisle.
I love me an ile easier to go to the bathroom.
In high school, you could just stand in line at
a record store to buy tickets, maybe meet some guys
(07:20):
who wanted to go to the same show. It didn't
even matter who was playing, as long as you got
a shirt to wear to school the next day, and
you could talk about how awesome the show was. Sometimes
I look in my closet and think, really, I saw
Matchbox twenty. What's this a service charge for what I
do all this and print out the tickets they should
be paying me. Okay, let me enter these weird LSD
(07:43):
letters to prove I'm not a robot. Shemer bag gear.
Oh that must have been wrong. Now it's gorb or oof.
What's hilarious is that we're supposed to prove we're not
a robot by typing in something generated by a robot.
What timed out? Oh, I hate technology?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
And that was another episode of One Minute Inside a
Woman's Head.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Chicago POPO arrested Jania Williams, eighteen, and charged her with
terrorism and issuing false threats. What did miss Williams do
at eighteen years old? Well, first you need to know.
She's a security guard at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.
She is said to have transmitted an anonymous message to
(08:31):
her Andy Frame Services supervisor using the text now app,
which said, quote mass shooting at four pm location Lollapalooza.
We have one hundred and fifty targets. She allegedly told
her supervisor that her sister also saw a comparable threat
(08:53):
made on Facebook. She allegedly faked a mass shooting alert
at Lollapaloosa so she could leave work early. As first
reported by CWB, the guard is charged with sending a
fake text threatening the festival to a coworker, who then
(09:14):
alerted supervisors. The text, as we noted, read mass shooting
at four pm location Lollapalooza. We have one hundred and
fifty targets that set off a chain reaction with the
Keystone cops at Chicago and the FBI, who later determined
it was a fake. She is charged with making a
(09:35):
false terrorism threat. She appeared in bondcourt and is being
held in custody in lieu of fifty thousand dollars in bail.
She doesn't have the five thousand. She can't cough up
the five thousand dollars immediately. Listen to this story ABC
seven in Chicago.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
The eighteen year old security guard is now facing charges
after allegedly faking a mass shooting alert at Lollapalooza. Prosecutors
say that she admitted doing it so that she could
leave work early. As first reported by CWB Chicago, the
guard is accused of sending a text message about the
bogus threat to a coworker and creating a Facebook post
(10:14):
with the threat. The coworker alerted supervisors, which set off
a chain reaction with Chicago police and the FBI. The
threat later found to be fake. The guard is now
charged with making a false terrorism threat.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's not funny, but it's funny. Well, you remember when
you were a teenager and you had to work, and
you liked having a job because you had money, But
there was nothing as thrilling as that day you had
to shift for Saturday night and your buddies were going
to do something fun, or you had Saturday morning and
your buddies were going fishing, And so you might call
(10:52):
in sick even though you weren't. You didn't call in
a bomb threat. You just call in sick. You'd try
to make your voice sound like you'd been coughing, so
right before you made that call, you'd cough a bunch
of times so that you couldn't get your breath, and
(11:12):
you know, real method actor kind of stuff. You had
to get into character, and then you would put on
the performance of your life. Ring ring ring ring.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Hello, Yeah, mister Johnson, It's Michael Berry. Sorry. What's I'm
gonna be there a little bit later. I'm real sick.
I got COVID. I'm real sick. But no, no, no, you
stayed home, No no them, I got COVID. But I'm
gonna be there because I don't want to miss work
(11:46):
and put you on a bad situation and everything and
you know not, I'll be there to see.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Before COVID, if you claim you were that, go we
don't care. You're an entry level minimum wage employee. Three
dollars and thirty five cents. We can't replace you. Somebody's
got to scoop the ice cream. Get down here, Get
down here now, and you'd go in and you might
not have been sick, but you might have been. Before COVID,
(12:18):
when people were sick, they just oh, keep going, get
in here. I don't care if youre sick or not.
Get in here and sneeze all over, breathe all over
the ice cream or the hamburgers of the French fries.
One decent thing that came out of COVID was that
at least people understand, hey, if you have something contagious,
(12:38):
stay home, stay home till it passes, don't go out
in public. Show a little bit of compassion for other people.
I'm not a mask wearer, I'm not a vaxer, none
of that. But if you're sick, and that's not just COVID,
it's the other COVID, the common cold, and it's certainly
(12:58):
the flu. My wife laughs because I won't do the jabs.
I won't do the mask. I won't stay six feet away.
But if you say to me, hey, I know we're
supposed to meet this evening at SEVENOT thirty, I may
or may not have been exposed to COVID. No, no, no,
it will wait. There's nothing about our meeting that is
(13:19):
important enough that I need to risk getting that crap.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
But I thought you didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I think my brother died from it or from the vaccine.
I don't know. He was on the tail end of
COVID when he passed. He was only fifty four years old.
What am I left to wonder? Of course, I'm left
to wonder was it COVID or was it the vaccine?
He had COVID? But there are people. Just see the
Pfizer CEO, after making billions of dollars for that company,
(13:47):
telling us that you could not get it, we'd stop
the spread if you just got the vaccine. Now he's
got it, of course he does. That damn thing does
more harm than good. Guaranteed, we're gonna find out that
damn thing does more harm than good, and people have
died because of it. I believe that, in fact, I'm
certain of it. But back to the point, that's too serious.
(14:08):
Don't want to be that serious right now? Calling in sick.
I tell you what, We're not going to do it
on the show right now, but if you'll take a minute,
make it brief, get right to it, and tell me
when you called in sick. Sometime you called in sick.
That may be you weren't, which you know. That whole
thing's got me thinking we don't enjoy prank calls the
(14:31):
way we used to. You know, caller ID. Now somebody
calls with a block number, you're already suspect. But before
caller ID, prank calls wereth a deal.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Hello, how you during Haina? I'm calling to ask you
about the wigs you got down now? Do you make
any wigs out of the two point two pound polyester
five of it is humidity and fireproof.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
What kind of wig y'all have down there? It's on sale, honey.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's a human humidity wig. Oh, he's synthetic human hair.
And do that stay right looking? I mean, do it
mess up on your head or do it shwank up
when it rains and anything? Well, you know, my hair
is just so raggedy. I hate to go to a
wig A stronger wig, but look like I'm gonna have
to I come see. Do y'all give a discount for ignorance? Okay, good,
(15:30):
thank you, darling, Bye, honey.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Michael Berry known as Theizar also known as El Casino.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
All right, don't call me crazy, but just follow along
here for a moment. I'm not joking on this. I'm
that serious. What I'm about to say is not a parody.
It's not a joke. There's not going to be a
funny bit at the end of it. It's not a setup.
I have been pondering on dealing with liberals. White liberals
(16:09):
are the problem. The Martha's Vineyard set that lost their
minds after after the illegals were dropped off there, but
have insulted Texans who've had to deal with far worse
than that for far longer. They weren't even there for
twenty four hours. I have come to the conclusion that
these people are toxic, and they cannot be helped, and
(16:31):
they cannot be fixed. I've come to the conclusion that
you should not hire them, you should not do business
with them if you can help it, you should not
in any way associate with them, because it will only
end badly. They will ruin your love of country. Surround
yourself with good people. Surround yourself with the kind of
(16:52):
people you want to be. I seek out friends who
have succeeded in some field and achieved greatness, because I
want to know what it took to be great at
what they did, and then maybe I can take from
that and be great at what I do. Be that
(17:14):
talk show host, influencer, dad, husband, employer. I want to
learn from people who've been the best at throwing a
football or kicking a football or hitting a golf ball,
or building a company, or manufacturing things or inventing things,
(17:34):
or teaching things or preaching things. Surround yourself with people
you love who love you. If you have people in
your life who you do not love or who do
not love you, it strikes me as very odd. How
many people will tell me that they don't like their
(17:57):
brother in law, but they're going fishing with him this weekend,
or he's coming over. You can say no. If you've
got a relative who comes to your house and torments
you the entire time they're there about Trump or anything else,
you can say no to that. You don't have to
tolerate that. You can either tell your wife. I don't
(18:18):
care that your brother wants to come over. I don't
care that he's your brother. I'm tired of him talking
to me that way. If anybody else talk to me
that way, I'd punch him in the face. And you
can confront him. You can do back to him what
he does to you. What liberals will do is they
don't get in your face and scream at you that
you're an awful person. They pick, they pick, they needle.
(18:40):
They do it in such a way that when they
have finally picked at the wrong person who yells at
them or punches him in the face, they go, what.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Are you doing?
Speaker 8 (18:49):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Why are you overreacting? I don't want you to talk
about that again. I don't want you to talk to
me that way again. You're allowed to say that, but
follow me here. And granted I understand this price sounds
crazy if it's the first time you've heard me say this.
I believe there is a biblical prohibition against marrying democrats.
(19:14):
Hold on Deuteronomy seven three through four, Look it up.
The Israelites are told you shall not enter marry with them,
giving your daughters to their sons, or taking their daughters
for your sons, For they would turn away your sons
from following me to serve other gods. Then the anger
(19:37):
of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he
would destroy you quickly. Well, this prohibition, as you know,
was to avoid the contagion of false gods. See, if
you give your daughter into the family of worshipers of
(19:59):
fat gods, they will convert your daughter to worship a
false god. What's a false god? The state? Socialism, globalism,
global warming, pandemic love. All of these things that the
(20:21):
state shall do, all that the government shall do, all
this is a religion. It's not just a political theory.
It's a religion. And that's why communists always destroy the church,
because the state cannot compete with the church if the
state is a religion. When the Jews were returned to
(20:42):
Jerusalem after the captivity in Babylon, do you remember who
was so distressed to learn that some of the returnees
had taken wives from the local population. Ezra. Ezra was concerned.
It was sort of like Vietnam, where American gis would
go to Vietnam and come back with Vietnamese wives. Ezra
(21:05):
was concerned that his people when returning had taken wives
from the local population. Because just as you don't want
to give your daughter over to those who worship false gods,
neither do you want the worshippers of false god's daughters
to come into your home, because that is an insidious,
cancerous invasion. A trojan horse. In Ezra ten two through three,
(21:31):
Ezra was praying, a large group of Israelites came to
him in repentance. They made a proposal to fix the problem. Quote,
we have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign
women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this,
there is still hope for Israel. Now, let us make
(21:51):
a covenant before our God to send away all these
women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of
my Lord and of those who fear the commands of
our God. Let it be done according to the law.
The purpose of this covenant would be to once again
set apart the Jewish people as fully devoted to the Lord,
(22:14):
and remove any and all connections with those who worshiped
other gods. The agreement required the men of Judah to
do what do you remember, to divorce their pagan wives.
Ezra agreed that the covenant. This covenant was the proper course,
(22:36):
and he commanded, quote, you have been unfaithful. You have
married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. Now honor the Lord,
the god of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate
yourselves from the peoples around you and your foreign wives.
Took them three months, but they got rid of their wives,
(23:00):
and they fixed the problem of allowing the left into
their lives. I'm telling you, separate from the liberals, get
them out of your life. You'll be happier, more productive,
more patriotic, and live longer. She was twelve, I was thirty.
(23:21):
But anyway, it was wonderful to have you, mister President.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The Michael Berry Show, Jimmy Allen Stewart and Stewart and
Tim Nichols recorded this song.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
It was also recorded by Mobambi, But the more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think this is probably the more popular version. It's uh,
did I say it was Keith Whitley, Earl Thomas Gone, etc.
Jimmy Allan Stewart wrote some songs, but Tim Nichols body
of wit. I have often said that songwriters don't get
the do today that they deserve because they're what used
(24:08):
to be the great poets, the Tennyson's, the Shakespeares, the
frost the Emerson's, I mean, the Whipman's. These guys are special,
and you see it with guys that just wrote so many.
Tim Nichols wrote when Mamma Ain't happy for Tracy Bird,
(24:29):
he wrote for you, look at the list of people
who recorded his stuff, Trace Atkins, Terry Clark, John Corbett,
Billy Dean, faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Sammy Kershaw. He wrote
Vadelia for Sammy Kershaw. When you hear that song, you
know it's more than an onion, and you think of
it as Sammy Kershaw. There's nothing wrong with that. Sammy
(24:51):
Kershaw made that song his own, but he didn't write it.
He had to. Those words had to be taken from
the ether and put down on paper for him to
see that that is the creation that is no less
glorious than building a skyscraper, or an airplane, or a
(25:14):
car or a sculpture. It is a work of art
that one minute it doesn't exist, and then it does.
That's that's that's worth noting. Aaron Tippin van Zant, Keith Whitley.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
He wrote I'm Over You for Keith Whitley, Chris Young,
Keith Anderson, Clay Walker, lea Ane Walmack, Blackhawk. I mean,
these are all artists and I haven't even listed them all.
That Joe Nichols, that Tim Nichols, Joey was that Tim
Nichols wrote for He wrote what's the one for Joe Nichols?
(25:52):
She only smokes when she drinks. That's a funny song,
you know that song? All right to the phone lines,
we go, Cody, You're up.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Go ahead, sir, Yes, I gotta say they got a chance.
McClean he is one. I mean, he is one amazing dude.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Is uh.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
I was blown away just by the way he was
able to connect with everybody that he spoke to about,
you know, our our family member that we had that
was going through some things and we wanted him to
actually speak the chance, but he looked me dead in
my eyes and told me, there's no way I'm gonna
talk to a stranger about my feelings or about anything
going on in my life.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So uh, you know what's funny. The greatest impediment to
getting heritage films done is that the family wants it done,
and the mother or the father will resist and they
have to wear them down and finally go, look, they're
gonna have to do this, Okay, it's not gonna be hard.
(26:57):
It's and they always every time they walk away, when
when the when, when the filming is over, they chance
will go, all right, is there anything else? That's the
fifth time he's asked me, is there anything else? You'd
like to say? No, I believe that's it. All right,
then we're done. We're done. Yeah, we're done. I got
(27:18):
nothing else unless you That's why I'll stay here as
long as you want. It's over, sir, I've been here
for six hours. You know, Man, that went fast. That
was fun. He eats lunch with him. I mean, it's
you know, it's interesting. You get to know somebody pretty
darn well when you show up in the morning and
set all your stuff up in their living room. You
(27:38):
spend the morning with them, you eat lunch with them,
you spend the afternoon filming, and you talk about your
life and you know you're sharing with the stranger. And
for some people it's actually easier to to share with
the stranger, right because there's no judgment and he doesn't
judge you. And at the end of it, they always
say that was so much easier than I expected. Is
(27:59):
I don't know what people well, A lot of older
folks are not used to sharing their stories, sharing their
They don't think of themselves as somebody who's interesting. But
to our families, we're all interesting. And that's why I
love to have guests on and get them. Whatever somebody
called to talk about is almost never as interesting as
(28:23):
one thing about them that they don't think is interesting.
And that might be what they do for a living,
where they grew up, where they served, who they married,
who they divorced, how many times they've been divorced, that
time they got shot. Everybody's got a great story. It's
just a question. It's just a question of me being
able to ask a question that gets them to open
(28:44):
them up to something that maybe they weren't ready to
they weren't ready to tell, and that's just that's a
function of them feeling comfortable. And part of the reason
that people open up to me is because I come
into their truck every day, or their living room, or
(29:05):
how about lois turning ninety five? How great is that?
Or you know their workplace or whatever else. I love
hearing stories when people will say, hey, Michael. I went
down to accurate meter in supply and I walked in
and do you know this, fella, Dane, he's got your
show on at the inside there and they listened to you.
(29:31):
Did you know that? No? I didn't. Dane Burson's listener,
he's called the show before, but I had no idea that,
Oh yeah, they got you show, Blair, and they don't
care who hears it. They're proud of you. I love
those So if that's you, send me an email. I'll
give you. I'll give you a little love on the
air if you play our show out loud for people
