Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let me start with a little story to make a
point about the purpose of this first segment of the show,
which I hope you will take to heart. I'll make
it quick. So do you know the name Sandra more
than Probably not, especially if you're not from Florida. Do
(00:27):
you know the name Karen Geevers, an attorney from Miami.
Probably not, unless you're one of our Florida listeners, including
our folks in say, Pensacola.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What are our call letters in Pensacola? I just lost
my sheep.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Either way, you don't know their name, but I'll bet
you you do know the name Catherine Harris. If you've
been following the process for a while political process, you
know the name Catherine Harris because in nineteen ninety eight
she ran far and was elected to the position of
(01:08):
Secretary of State in Florida. Not something that gets a
lot of attention, but when she was elected and took
office January fifth, nineteen ninety nine, the course of history
would change dramatically. Had she lost that election, our history
(01:36):
of the last twenty three years would be twenty two
years would be very, very different. And the reason is
because in a down ballot race that most people don't
pay much attention to, certainly not the rest of the country,
and very few people in Florida. Catherine Harris managed to
(01:58):
defeat Karen Geevers, a Democrat from Miami, and be the
last person to be elected Secretary of State in Florida.
After that, a constitutional change occurred where the Secretary of
State would now be appointed by the governor, as it
(02:18):
is in Texas, but at that time it was elected.
And then in two thousand November, the closest election we've had,
and it all came down to the state of Florida.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And first they said Bush one, then Gore won.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Then they went back and forth all night, and then
Gore conceded, and then he said, oh no, no, no, maybe
I didn't concede. And it all came down to the
paper ballots in Florida, and what was known as a
butterfly ballot.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Remember the old spy.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Notebooks, you would have not the three ring binder, but
the one with the entire spiral, the slinky through the
middle of the papers. Well, the way that was done,
some voters, it was alleged, wouldn't push the paper all
the way through, so that became what was known as
(03:23):
a dimpled chad, and all of this effort went into
a few hundred votes. It was insane because whoever won
Florida would win the White House, and whoever lost Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Would lose the entire election.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Forty nine other states and everything came down to who
could get to two seventy and neither one of them
could get to two seventy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Electoral votes without Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And so there was if you remember some of you
around the hanging chads, that was a chad that had
been pushed through but not completely disconnected from the paper.
I was kind of involved in that election, can you tell?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I excited?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then there was a dimple chad. A dimple chad
was something you remember when you were in school and
you'd write a note to a girl, or if you
were a girl, to a guy, and you would take
a piece of paper and put another paper over the
top of it, and you'd write on that top paper,
and you'd kind of press down and there'd be enough
under the underside that if you handed that to somebody,
(04:24):
somebody just glancing like a blank piece of paper, but
if she took that piece of paper and ran a
pencil across it, it would reveal the indentation in the
paper and you could send a message kind of in
this coded way, and then we had invisible link ink.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But that's a different deal. Well, that was what a.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Dimple chad was. It was pushed probably from an earlier
vote on another issue. So all this comes down. All
this comes down to the Secretary of State and the
decisions she makes. Of course it would end up with
(05:02):
the Supreme Court. But if the Secretary of State hadn't
been Catherine Harris, who made the decisions she did for truth, honest, fairness, judgment, objectivity,
which is what our party does, a Democrat would have
just swung the election to Gore, and Gore would have
been president, and who knows how life would have been different,
(05:24):
but it would have been worse, You'd be sure of that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Not that I'm the biggest fan of George W. Bush.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
She made a lot of mistakes, But the point is
how much elections matter, and elections that don't get any attention.
The course of America's history was changed because the people
of Florida voted for Catherine Harris instead of some woman
that is relegated to the scrap peep of history. I
(05:50):
say all that to say this, The most important elections
in this country are not the presidential election. It gets
all the attention. It's not even McCarthy. Most government is
local government. But because you don't go home after work
and turn on Fox News and they talk about who's
(06:11):
running for city council, dogcatcher, sheriff, county treasurer, county judge,
county courts. Because that's not easily told to you, because
that is not spoon fed to you. Most people don't
give a damn about the local elections. They don't know
who their.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
School board is.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And that's why when little Billy comes home and says, Mama,
this happened at school today, and they call up to
the school and the school hangs up on them. They
go to the school board and the school board cuts
off their mic and calls it Biden administration says, this
person should be reported to the FBI as a terrorist.
And you go, what's happening? Why is my school so crazy?
Why wouldn't it be crazy? What have you done to
(06:51):
ensure it's not crazy? Inspect what you expect? What made
you think that everybody but you was going to get
involved in electing a good school board that would then
appoint a good superintendent and principle and hold the teachers accountable.
Did you just assume that everybody else that thinks like you,
(07:13):
that's reasonable and rational, would get involved and run for
office and support good candidates. Well, everybody's doing what you're doing.
We're all standing back, and then the thing drops because
nobody puts their hand out to stop it from dropping.
Nobody gets involved, nobody wants to care. Pick up the
phone and start making phone calls. Ask people you trust. Sure,
(07:38):
you're going to get some duds in the mix. You're
going to get some people that claim there for God, country, faith, patriotism,
who are running as Republicans because that's the only way
to win in their area. Sure, that's going to happen,
and you're going to be disappointed by some people. But
you have to stay engaged. You've got to win the
races that matter. You got to take back your community.
(07:58):
When you take back your community, then you can get
in integrity back in your elections, and then you can
win back to county elections, and then you can win.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Back to statewide elections.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That has to happen right now, in elections that won't
be on Fox News I'm telling you, Michael.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Berry the Michael Berry Show, j C.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're old Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Go ahead doing sir, h Yeah, we take out veterans hunting.
We partner up with another group and they bring veterans
out that have been in combat and we get to
spend We've been doing it for about four or five
years now. We get to spend at least the weekend
with them, and it's really impactful in their lives and
(08:42):
on ours. You get to hear some stories that are amazing.
Touch your touch your heart, make you realize how blessed
we are here to how easy our allies actually are. Well,
hear what they go through. But one of the first
guys that took took out hunting.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
He.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Might get a choked jets and bear with me.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He friends, either you get choked up because you care
so passionately about veterans and the experience you gave them.
I got a note you take all the time you
want them turning off on michaelphone.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
So we became real good friends. Funny story is about it.
We were out on had three of them with me.
They wanted to go try to get some kyote's, so
I set up a coyote call, and I knew probably
weren't going to see anything because weren't hearing them. And
we've been snaring them pretty good. So we put a
good debt in the population. So I set up a
coyote call, get them all in different areas where we
(09:38):
have different lengths to shoot out of. And I laid
down next to Jonathan and uh, we're sitting there, sitting there,
and he hunted a lot in his life. And he
looked at him and he goes, they ain't coming, are they?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I don't think they are. He goes, man, can we
go look for some sheds? I said, yeah, absolutely, man,
we'll go look for some sheds. Talking about antler sheds
that fall off every year.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
So I thought that was okay.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
No, no, no shed it's actually sheds off. They said,
their antlers every year and you can walk around and
pick them up. A pretty cool deal. And so we're
walking around and you know, just two guys in the woods,
and I said, man, so I don't, I said, I'm
a very blunt PERSONA man, I don't. I don't know
how to say it. But you seem pretty normal, man,
So what's what's up with you? And uh he Uh,
(10:20):
he's like, man, I've got a tv I and PTSD.
So he was actually uh his paint got hit by
an ID and he was actually m I A for
twenty one days. And uh that started our relationship right there,
and uh, every year since then, it's been coming up
on three years now. We meet up at least once
a year. He actually we just did a veteran hunt
(10:40):
two weekends ago and then he came in to pee
Da before they give and flew in and we went
back to the ranch and did some hunting and uh
we were sitting, Uh, we were sitting up gott and
I could tell he was getting Uh. We were talking
and you know, talks to get deep over some some
beers and some whiskey drinks. And uh one of my
(11:03):
wife friends was there and she went and decided. My wife,
she's like, I think they're getting seried. She's like, leave
them alone, let them do the things they got to
get this, you know, get it off their chests. And
she's been around to them, so she's just like, let
them be. And uh, he's taught us about somebody that
he served with that he helps train, I guess, and
he's wore this bracelet on his wrist, you know, says, Uh,
(11:24):
I'm gonna read it real quick. I guess it's some
senate purporal David Jay Vines. Sam says in US Marine
Corps Iraqi Freedom eleven six K I A H. And
he's always had this bracelet on him and when he
goes out on trips or hunts or whatever, he takes
pictures with that thing. And and said it to that
(11:46):
guy's dad, who is now a very good friend slash
father to him and sends pictures to him and his
memory and his honor. And uh he uh looked at us,
me and my buddy Jason, that we've all become real
good friends, and said, hey, I want to do something
with y'all. He took that bracelet off and put it
down next to us. He said, I'm going to be
(12:06):
back in the year. I want you to wear it
for six months, and you to wear it for six
months and take pictures and send them to me so
I can send them to his dad. And he hasn't
taken this bracelet off in years. And to be entrusted
with something like that, it is really amazing. And you know,
it all started over relationships, over over a deer hunt.
(12:29):
And I've dealt with several of these guys now, and
we look at it as a it's just a deer, man.
It's you know, if you have a scale where you
put one thing on one side and one on the other,
it goes up and down. We look at what they
did and that scale was weighted down, heavy on their side,
and we look at it going, man, we just all
were to being able to give you a hunt and
gives you a deer and just listen to y'all and
talk with y'all, and it's just no comparison. But one
(12:51):
thing I've learned is it's the exact opposite to them.
It's not just a deer to them. Hearing some of
these stories, one of the guys told us that one
of his friends, you know, was blown up missing an
armor leg type deal, and always turned out in these
hunts and finally went on one because he was debating suicide
and shot a deer and was able to put food
(13:11):
on the table. And he told us that literally this
saved that man's life one of these hunts that he
realized he's still a man, he can still put food
on his table to support his family, and man if
y'all have opportunities that you own a ranch or you're
part of something, whether it's hunting, fishing, I know they
do fishing trips, to do all kinds of stuff. Reach
out to these different organizations. The one that we deal
with is Combat Ring out Doors, which was started by
(13:33):
two Marines, but they do every branch of the military
and they bring these guys up. Man, it's truly life
changing for them and you get to see them decompressed.
And the two weekends ago, the one night I took
he had tv I and PTSD, he was hit by
three IED's and he just looked at me while we
were in the stand and he said, man, thank you
so much. I was able to unplug for three days
(13:55):
and I really felt peace for the first time in
a while. So it's it's an amazing experience for everybody.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
J C.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
First of all, thank you for doing that. And I
suspect you would agree with my assessment that you took
more away from that time you spent with that veteran
than he did. And that's not to diminish what it
meant to him. It's that very few things in life
will give you the fulfillment that that did, yeah, and
(14:28):
it's and I've been blessed with a good family, wife
and kids that you know, they let me take time
away from our schedule to go do this for them, and.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's it's it's even though my family's not always there,
my family's there and we're all saying thank you to them,
and Danny any better than who deserves thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes, one of the things.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'll tell you that I've been doing radio for seventeen years,
and I've had other careers, and I've done things for
people in some way or another. And I often say this,
and it makes people uncomfortable. It is true. People don't
want to admit this, but that which.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We do for other people we do.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Because we are selfish, extremely selfish. Now people will say,
I am so self less. I do things for other
people to help other people. If doing things to help
other people did not give us a sense of fulfillment
on a profound level, we wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
We wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And I will tell you that we landed on combat
Veterans with PTSD and that has occupied a great deal
of my energy since then. It's been ten years now.
We just celebrate ten years Camp hope and the beauty
is especially for guys if you if you are a
hunting and fishing guy, you got to realize the people
(16:08):
who went and served in Afghanistan and Iraq. You think
about the demographic, A large number of those guys are
rednecks from small towns that love to hunt and fish.
And when you think about you got something that you
don't even think of you it's deer huntings. Easy, you
go deer hunt, or you go out fishing, or you know,
(16:30):
you do outdoors activities. Man, that's you could take that
guy to the ball game, sure, that's fine, but you
take him fishing. Oh man, And I will, I will
promise you this. I will, I will make this guarantee
to you if you do that for a combat veterans
(16:50):
suffering from PTSD. You get out there, You'll feel so
good about yourself as you're going, I'm gonna take some
veterans out because you want the credit, right, I'm gonna
take some veterans out. I'm gonna do this, huh. And
you'll get out there and the new will wear off
of that penny, the shine will wear off, and a
few hours into it, you will realize you are going
(17:11):
to gain more from this experience than that guy is,
because this is going.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
To put it all into perspective. Because you sleep like.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
A baby through the night, because you have full use
of all your appendages, you will find because because you
don't have horrible nightmares and desires to kill yourself, and
you don't have tattoos that reminds you of their buddy
who they had to carry to the helicopter to be
hauled away so that he could be brought home at
least as a body to be buried. Those are things
(17:40):
you never forget. You will from that experience be forever change.
You've got the Michael Berry's Show.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Travis.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You are on the Michael berry Show.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Go ahead, sir, Yes, sir, my son turned me onto
this video from a God Believed. His name is Oh
Wild and he does the cover of Skinner's free Bird
solo own harmonica.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You have my attention. Oh here we are Will Wild,
Will Wild Lazy. Oh that's a different song. Uh you said,
you said this fantastic man. Uh, I'm just watch this
is this is a mouth Oregon dude right here now,
just watching the.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
See he's got.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Oh, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Very and ramon, can we play that on the show?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
With that?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
With that? Can you can you load this up and play?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I can play it? Oh you can play it off? Okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
For those of you who want to find it on
your own, I haven't heard it yet, but this is
the entire Freebird solo played on harmonica since one of
the things we take great pride in. In fact, I've
had other people in radio across the country meet me
at conferences and say, the rumor is that you played
Freebird in its entirety as a segment on your show
(19:08):
after you were told to stop playing long bits of audio. Correct,
that is, that's what Rush Limball would do.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Look.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Rush bragged that when a girl broke up with him
that he played under my Thumb nine times in a row,
and the only reason he didn't play at ten was
because they marched in and fired him after the nighttime,
and the legend of Rush lives on. He lost his
job and didn't have a job to fall back on.
(19:41):
Howard Stern and you know, Private Parts is all about
the things he did to get fired WBC. So occasionally
you've got to do a few things that risk your job,
or what are you doing. I don't even think you're
programming and and management bosses would respect you if you
(20:02):
didn't occasionally push the line. Well, you can't tell me
that Tom Brady hasn't on occasion on a third and
one when he's supposed to do a handoff off, right
tackle or right guard instead audible for a hell Mary,
just because he thought it'd be fun because they're up
by twenty one points.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I mean you can't.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And guess what when the coach choose your ass when
you come off, you laugh about it.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
We don't know if this guy's any good or not,
but this is Will Wilde playing the entire Freebird solo
on harmonica. Take it away, Annie, you're on the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I went to Birmingham School of Law. What law school
did you say? You went to?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh University of Texas and the University of Nuningham.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Where'd you do your undergraduate.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Were the University of Houston nineteen eighty nine?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Do you have a law license now?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I let my law license lap in tooth thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
And by the way, there's nothing wrong with my teeth
and I never sit in the back of the law class,
eating crayons, I said at the front of the law
class and making craves that.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, I didn't mean to offend you any.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Just who the hell you think you're talking to?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well, I would love to know.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
You don't want to find out?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Would it be bad say that kind.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Of stuff about me? Like I'm not intelligent? I'm an
IQ of two hundred.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I didn't say you weren't a smart man.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
What are you asking me all those questions about lizards for?
What are you trying to prove?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was trying to make a point that some people
don't understand that there might be extraterrestrial activity, and a
lot of people think that's funny, and we're trying to
get to the root of it.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
What's that got to do with disability caused a by
electromagnetic posse coming from smart meters that the government's using
to try to dumb down the population. You don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I thought you knew already.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I do know because I listened to a show where
they have experts come on and give experts witness.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Right, and the illuminati is trying to silence them.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Well, that's what they are saying. It's not like I
made it up. So if you want to try to
get to the root of it and make it out
like it's coming from me, now it's not coming from me.
It's coming from experts.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm trying to get to the root.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
You have. Like you think you're talking to some retarded person.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I don't know, and I first of all, I
don't even like to use that word. That's not a
nice word to use. And I think retarded people have
the same dignity as human beings and citizens of this
nation as anyone else.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Who do you think you are saying that she had
me on there and tried to propagate the conversation or
carry it out longer so you could dig into my
new rosis, what new roses? I was never diagnosed with
any new ross.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I didn't say you were.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
You're selling to me like you don't heavy sense.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Well, I'm doing the best I can, and he don't
hold it against me.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I'm not liberal. I'm very conservative, but I do think
if the system is going to destroy people's health, they
might as well get ready to give them a disability check.
And they need to stop having all these EMPs meters
and things and cell phone towers and GMO's and floride
in the water, which is dumbing down the population rights.
(23:32):
That's a psych drug. That's what floride is. That's a
Nazi psych drug used to keep people quiet.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I agree, I can we both agree that doctor Peter
Vankman is a genius.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Why don't you get doctor Robert Bentley on there and
let him?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Are you trying to get doctor Bentley on? I thought
you and I could at least agree on that.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Put them on the hot seat about these cmos.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I will tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think Peter Vankman trump's doctor Bentley every time you
read his materials and you read what you read what
mister Spangler has said on the subject, and I think
it'll answer a lot of questions. And you can check
on what Ray Parker Junior said about that very fact,
and I think you will realize that I'm not as
stupid as I look.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
You sound to me like you don't have any sense
saying that I have my condition because I said, in
the back of the wall class eating crayon.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I simply asked if I could stop in and see
what condition your condition was in. Now, there's nothing wrong
with that. It was a new addition form of.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
That question, what do you want my phone number for?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I didn't want you. I didn't want your phone number.
That was Kenny and that I don't even want to
begin to know what that was about.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Why do you want my phone?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Noow, I'm saying, that's doctor Bentley right there.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I chased it five minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Doctor Bentley, Erry, I appreciate you having me on your
program today. I was just listening to your show earlier
and I heard this woman mention my name. Would just
like to point out that she was a crazy woman,
and she did not.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now wait a second, you don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You do not know that she's crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I do know that she is lying about going to
law school. I have done it. I had to quit amount
of research on our background and it is untrue.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
What you don't believe it?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Check it out, ma'am. This is doctor Bentley you asked.
We were able to track him down.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
It doesn't sound like any doctor Bentley to me. If
they don't believe I went to law school, check it out.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Doctor Bentley, what do you know about this person?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I know that I have prescribed her a heavy amount
of medication and she has not been taking it. Annie,
you need to get back to the hospital right now.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
That's not doctor Bentley. I know doctor Bentley. I met
him miss Chamber of Commerce breakfast. That's not even I'm
you idiot.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Annie.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's not nice that you asked us to get doctor
Bentley and we got doctor Bentley on the phone.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Proceed, Doctor Bentley, and I are very concerned for your
well being.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Doctor not on any phone. I know doctor Bentley, I'm
met even a rally. He's a Republican.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You're you're being a very rude guest, Doctor Bentley.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Idiot, Doctor Bentley, joke grow.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And this is just this gone too far doctor doctor Bentley, proceed,
White Actor, Doctor Bentley, proceed.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Annie, you know that you have not been taking your medication.
Your mother and I have had a long conversation about
your well being. We are very concerned for you. Now. Please,
you're very dangerous. You know that you're not supposed to
be out in public. You've hurt people. A liar, Annie,
you have hurt people, and you will hurt people again.
This is for your own well being.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You're not doctor Bentley. I met doctor Bentley at the
break in the rally.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Any tell me where you are located. We are sending
people now to come and get you and bring you
back here.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
You're an idiot, your own well being in mind.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Your family cares about you, Annie.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Annie. Your mother loves you very much. You're alarmed, Annie.
I would never lie to you. Now, you understand that
the voices you're hearing in your head, Annie are the
effect of you not taking your medication. We've explained this
to you.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I haven't heard any voice. Is that just your fate?
What I hear on Ghostgos?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I know, and we have told you you are not
to listen to that radio program anymore. You have hit
three years any I have told you time and time
again you must not listen to Heartfelt George, norre Coast
to Coast or that dreadful Alex Jones has stop. And
I'm not sure that this radio program is good for you.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
A cremic sad wise, Buddy,
Let me start with a little story to make a
point about the purpose of this first segment of the show,
which I hope you will take to heart. I'll make
it quick. So do you know the name Sandra more
than Probably not, especially if you're not from Florida. Do
(00:27):
you know the name Karen Geevers, an attorney from Miami.
Probably not, unless you're one of our Florida listeners, including
our folks in say, Pensacola.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What are our call letters in Pensacola? I just lost
my sheep.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Either way, you don't know their name, but I'll bet
you you do know the name Catherine Harris. If you've
been following the process for a while political process, you
know the name Catherine Harris because in nineteen ninety eight
she ran far and was elected to the position of
(01:08):
Secretary of State in Florida. Not something that gets a
lot of attention, but when she was elected and took
office January fifth, nineteen ninety nine, the course of history
would change dramatically. Had she lost that election, our history
(01:36):
of the last twenty three years would be twenty two
years would be very, very different. And the reason is
because in a down ballot race that most people don't
pay much attention to, certainly not the rest of the country,
and very few people in Florida. Catherine Harris managed to
(01:58):
defeat Karen Geevers, a Democrat from Miami, and be the
last person to be elected Secretary of State in Florida.
After that, a constitutional change occurred where the Secretary of
State would now be appointed by the governor, as it
(02:18):
is in Texas, but at that time it was elected.
And then in two thousand November, the closest election we've had,
and it all came down to the state of Florida.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And first they said Bush one, then Gore won.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Then they went back and forth all night, and then
Gore conceded, and then he said, oh no, no, no, maybe
I didn't concede. And it all came down to the
paper ballots in Florida, and what was known as a
butterfly ballot.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Remember the old spy.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Notebooks, you would have not the three ring binder, but
the one with the entire spiral, the slinky through the
middle of the papers. Well, the way that was done,
some voters, it was alleged, wouldn't push the paper all
the way through, so that became what was known as
(03:23):
a dimpled chad, and all of this effort went into
a few hundred votes. It was insane because whoever won
Florida would win the White House, and whoever lost Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Would lose the entire election.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Forty nine other states and everything came down to who
could get to two seventy and neither one of them
could get to two seventy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Electoral votes without Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And so there was if you remember some of you
around the hanging chads, that was a chad that had
been pushed through but not completely disconnected from the paper.
I was kind of involved in that election, can you tell?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I excited?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then there was a dimple chad. A dimple chad
was something you remember when you were in school and
you'd write a note to a girl, or if you
were a girl, to a guy, and you would take
a piece of paper and put another paper over the
top of it, and you'd write on that top paper,
and you'd kind of press down and there'd be enough
under the underside that if you handed that to somebody,
(04:24):
somebody just glancing like a blank piece of paper, but
if she took that piece of paper and ran a
pencil across it, it would reveal the indentation in the
paper and you could send a message kind of in
this coded way, and then we had invisible link ink.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But that's a different deal. Well, that was what a.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Dimple chad was. It was pushed probably from an earlier
vote on another issue. So all this comes down. All
this comes down to the Secretary of State and the
decisions she makes. Of course it would end up with
(05:02):
the Supreme Court. But if the Secretary of State hadn't
been Catherine Harris, who made the decisions she did for truth, honest, fairness, judgment, objectivity,
which is what our party does, a Democrat would have
just swung the election to Gore, and Gore would have
been president, and who knows how life would have been different,
(05:24):
but it would have been worse, You'd be sure of that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Not that I'm the biggest fan of George W. Bush.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
She made a lot of mistakes, But the point is
how much elections matter, and elections that don't get any attention.
The course of America's history was changed because the people
of Florida voted for Catherine Harris instead of some woman
that is relegated to the scrap peep of history. I
(05:50):
say all that to say this, The most important elections
in this country are not the presidential election. It gets
all the attention. It's not even McCarthy. Most government is
local government. But because you don't go home after work
and turn on Fox News and they talk about who's
(06:11):
running for city council, dogcatcher, sheriff, county treasurer, county judge,
county courts. Because that's not easily told to you, because
that is not spoon fed to you. Most people don't
give a damn about the local elections. They don't know
who their.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
School board is.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And that's why when little Billy comes home and says, Mama,
this happened at school today, and they call up to
the school and the school hangs up on them. They
go to the school board and the school board cuts
off their mic and calls it Biden administration says, this
person should be reported to the FBI as a terrorist.
And you go, what's happening? Why is my school so crazy?
Why wouldn't it be crazy? What have you done to
(06:51):
ensure it's not crazy? Inspect what you expect? What made
you think that everybody but you was going to get
involved in electing a good school board that would then
appoint a good superintendent and principle and hold the teachers accountable.
Did you just assume that everybody else that thinks like you,
(07:13):
that's reasonable and rational, would get involved and run for
office and support good candidates. Well, everybody's doing what you're doing.
We're all standing back, and then the thing drops because
nobody puts their hand out to stop it from dropping.
Nobody gets involved, nobody wants to care. Pick up the
phone and start making phone calls. Ask people you trust. Sure,
(07:38):
you're going to get some duds in the mix. You're
going to get some people that claim there for God, country, faith, patriotism,
who are running as Republicans because that's the only way
to win in their area. Sure, that's going to happen,
and you're going to be disappointed by some people. But
you have to stay engaged. You've got to win the
races that matter. You got to take back your community.
(07:58):
When you take back your community, then you can get
in integrity back in your elections, and then you can
win back to county elections, and then you can win.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Back to statewide elections.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That has to happen right now, in elections that won't
be on Fox News I'm telling you, Michael.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Berry the Michael Berry Show, j C.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're old Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Go ahead doing sir, h Yeah, we take out veterans hunting.
We partner up with another group and they bring veterans
out that have been in combat and we get to
spend We've been doing it for about four or five
years now. We get to spend at least the weekend
with them, and it's really impactful in their lives and
(08:42):
on ours. You get to hear some stories that are amazing.
Touch your touch your heart, make you realize how blessed
we are here to how easy our allies actually are. Well,
hear what they go through. But one of the first
guys that took took out hunting.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
He.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Might get a choked jets and bear with me.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He friends, either you get choked up because you care
so passionately about veterans and the experience you gave them.
I got a note you take all the time you
want them turning off on michaelphone.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
So we became real good friends. Funny story is about it.
We were out on had three of them with me.
They wanted to go try to get some kyote's, so
I set up a coyote call, and I knew probably
weren't going to see anything because weren't hearing them. And
we've been snaring them pretty good. So we put a
good debt in the population. So I set up a
coyote call, get them all in different areas where we
(09:38):
have different lengths to shoot out of. And I laid
down next to Jonathan and uh, we're sitting there, sitting there,
and he hunted a lot in his life. And he
looked at him and he goes, they ain't coming, are they?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I don't think they are. He goes, man, can we
go look for some sheds? I said, yeah, absolutely, man,
we'll go look for some sheds. Talking about antler sheds
that fall off every year.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
So I thought that was okay.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
No, no, no shed it's actually sheds off. They said,
their antlers every year and you can walk around and
pick them up. A pretty cool deal. And so we're
walking around and you know, just two guys in the woods,
and I said, man, so I don't, I said, I'm
a very blunt PERSONA man, I don't. I don't know
how to say it. But you seem pretty normal, man,
So what's what's up with you? And uh he Uh,
(10:20):
he's like, man, I've got a tv I and PTSD.
So he was actually uh his paint got hit by
an ID and he was actually m I A for
twenty one days. And uh that started our relationship right there,
and uh, every year since then, it's been coming up
on three years now. We meet up at least once
a year. He actually we just did a veteran hunt
(10:40):
two weekends ago and then he came in to pee
Da before they give and flew in and we went
back to the ranch and did some hunting and uh
we were sitting, Uh, we were sitting up gott and
I could tell he was getting Uh. We were talking
and you know, talks to get deep over some some
beers and some whiskey drinks. And uh one of my
(11:03):
wife friends was there and she went and decided. My wife,
she's like, I think they're getting seried. She's like, leave
them alone, let them do the things they got to
get this, you know, get it off their chests. And
she's been around to them, so she's just like, let
them be. And uh, he's taught us about somebody that
he served with that he helps train, I guess, and
he's wore this bracelet on his wrist, you know, says, Uh,
(11:24):
I'm gonna read it real quick. I guess it's some
senate purporal David Jay Vines. Sam says in US Marine
Corps Iraqi Freedom eleven six K I A H. And
he's always had this bracelet on him and when he
goes out on trips or hunts or whatever, he takes
pictures with that thing. And and said it to that
(11:46):
guy's dad, who is now a very good friend slash
father to him and sends pictures to him and his
memory and his honor. And uh he uh looked at us,
me and my buddy Jason, that we've all become real
good friends, and said, hey, I want to do something
with y'all. He took that bracelet off and put it
down next to us. He said, I'm going to be
(12:06):
back in the year. I want you to wear it
for six months, and you to wear it for six
months and take pictures and send them to me so
I can send them to his dad. And he hasn't
taken this bracelet off in years. And to be entrusted
with something like that, it is really amazing. And you know,
it all started over relationships, over over a deer hunt.
(12:29):
And I've dealt with several of these guys now, and
we look at it as a it's just a deer, man.
It's you know, if you have a scale where you
put one thing on one side and one on the other,
it goes up and down. We look at what they
did and that scale was weighted down, heavy on their side,
and we look at it going, man, we just all
were to being able to give you a hunt and
gives you a deer and just listen to y'all and
talk with y'all, and it's just no comparison. But one
(12:51):
thing I've learned is it's the exact opposite to them.
It's not just a deer to them. Hearing some of
these stories, one of the guys told us that one
of his friends, you know, was blown up missing an
armor leg type deal, and always turned out in these
hunts and finally went on one because he was debating suicide
and shot a deer and was able to put food
(13:11):
on the table. And he told us that literally this
saved that man's life one of these hunts that he
realized he's still a man, he can still put food
on his table to support his family, and man if
y'all have opportunities that you own a ranch or you're
part of something, whether it's hunting, fishing, I know they
do fishing trips, to do all kinds of stuff. Reach
out to these different organizations. The one that we deal
with is Combat Ring out Doors, which was started by
(13:33):
two Marines, but they do every branch of the military
and they bring these guys up. Man, it's truly life
changing for them and you get to see them decompressed.
And the two weekends ago, the one night I took
he had tv I and PTSD, he was hit by
three IED's and he just looked at me while we
were in the stand and he said, man, thank you
so much. I was able to unplug for three days
(13:55):
and I really felt peace for the first time in
a while. So it's it's an amazing experience for everybody.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
J C.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
First of all, thank you for doing that. And I
suspect you would agree with my assessment that you took
more away from that time you spent with that veteran
than he did. And that's not to diminish what it
meant to him. It's that very few things in life
will give you the fulfillment that that did, yeah, and
(14:28):
it's and I've been blessed with a good family, wife
and kids that you know, they let me take time
away from our schedule to go do this for them, and.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's it's it's even though my family's not always there,
my family's there and we're all saying thank you to them,
and Danny any better than who deserves thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes, one of the things.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'll tell you that I've been doing radio for seventeen years,
and I've had other careers, and I've done things for
people in some way or another. And I often say this,
and it makes people uncomfortable. It is true. People don't
want to admit this, but that which.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We do for other people we do.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Because we are selfish, extremely selfish. Now people will say,
I am so self less. I do things for other
people to help other people. If doing things to help
other people did not give us a sense of fulfillment
on a profound level, we wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
We wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
And I will tell you that we landed on combat
Veterans with PTSD and that has occupied a great deal
of my energy since then. It's been ten years now.
We just celebrate ten years Camp hope and the beauty
is especially for guys if you if you are a
hunting and fishing guy, you got to realize the people
(16:08):
who went and served in Afghanistan and Iraq. You think
about the demographic, A large number of those guys are
rednecks from small towns that love to hunt and fish.
And when you think about you got something that you
don't even think of you it's deer huntings. Easy, you
go deer hunt, or you go out fishing, or you know,
(16:30):
you do outdoors activities. Man, that's you could take that
guy to the ball game, sure, that's fine, but you
take him fishing. Oh man, And I will, I will
promise you this. I will, I will make this guarantee
to you if you do that for a combat veterans
(16:50):
suffering from PTSD. You get out there, You'll feel so
good about yourself as you're going, I'm gonna take some
veterans out because you want the credit, right, I'm gonna
take some veterans out. I'm gonna do this, huh. And
you'll get out there and the new will wear off
of that penny, the shine will wear off, and a
few hours into it, you will realize you are going
(17:11):
to gain more from this experience than that guy is,
because this is going.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
To put it all into perspective. Because you sleep like.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
A baby through the night, because you have full use
of all your appendages, you will find because because you
don't have horrible nightmares and desires to kill yourself, and
you don't have tattoos that reminds you of their buddy
who they had to carry to the helicopter to be
hauled away so that he could be brought home at
least as a body to be buried. Those are things
(17:40):
you never forget. You will from that experience be forever change.
You've got the Michael Berry's Show.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Travis.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You are on the Michael berry Show.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Go ahead, sir, Yes, sir, my son turned me onto
this video from a God Believed. His name is Oh
Wild and he does the cover of Skinner's free Bird
solo own harmonica.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You have my attention. Oh here we are Will Wild,
Will Wild Lazy. Oh that's a different song. Uh you said,
you said this fantastic man. Uh, I'm just watch this
is this is a mouth Oregon dude right here now,
just watching the.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
See he's got.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Oh, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Very and ramon, can we play that on the show?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
With that?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
With that? Can you can you load this up and play?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I can play it? Oh you can play it off? Okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
For those of you who want to find it on
your own, I haven't heard it yet, but this is
the entire Freebird solo played on harmonica since one of
the things we take great pride in. In fact, I've
had other people in radio across the country meet me
at conferences and say, the rumor is that you played
Freebird in its entirety as a segment on your show
(19:08):
after you were told to stop playing long bits of audio. Correct,
that is, that's what Rush Limball would do.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Look.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Rush bragged that when a girl broke up with him
that he played under my Thumb nine times in a row,
and the only reason he didn't play at ten was
because they marched in and fired him after the nighttime,
and the legend of Rush lives on. He lost his
job and didn't have a job to fall back on.
(19:41):
Howard Stern and you know, Private Parts is all about
the things he did to get fired WBC. So occasionally
you've got to do a few things that risk your job,
or what are you doing. I don't even think you're
programming and and management bosses would respect you if you
(20:02):
didn't occasionally push the line. Well, you can't tell me
that Tom Brady hasn't on occasion on a third and
one when he's supposed to do a handoff off, right
tackle or right guard instead audible for a hell Mary,
just because he thought it'd be fun because they're up
by twenty one points.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I mean you can't.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And guess what when the coach choose your ass when
you come off, you laugh about it.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
We don't know if this guy's any good or not,
but this is Will Wilde playing the entire Freebird solo
on harmonica. Take it away, Annie, you're on the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I went to Birmingham School of Law. What law school
did you say? You went to?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh University of Texas and the University of Nuningham.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Where'd you do your undergraduate.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Were the University of Houston nineteen eighty nine?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Do you have a law license now?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I let my law license lap in tooth thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
And by the way, there's nothing wrong with my teeth
and I never sit in the back of the law class,
eating crayons, I said at the front of the law
class and making craves that.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, I didn't mean to offend you any.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Just who the hell you think you're talking to?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Well, I would love to know.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
You don't want to find out?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Would it be bad say that kind.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Of stuff about me? Like I'm not intelligent? I'm an
IQ of two hundred.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I didn't say you weren't a smart man.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
What are you asking me all those questions about lizards for?
What are you trying to prove?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was trying to make a point that some people
don't understand that there might be extraterrestrial activity, and a
lot of people think that's funny, and we're trying to
get to the root of it.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
What's that got to do with disability caused a by
electromagnetic posse coming from smart meters that the government's using
to try to dumb down the population. You don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I thought you knew already.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I do know because I listened to a show where
they have experts come on and give experts witness.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Right, and the illuminati is trying to silence them.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Well, that's what they are saying. It's not like I
made it up. So if you want to try to
get to the root of it and make it out
like it's coming from me, now it's not coming from me.
It's coming from experts.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm trying to get to the root.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
You have. Like you think you're talking to some retarded person.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I don't know, and I first of all, I
don't even like to use that word. That's not a
nice word to use. And I think retarded people have
the same dignity as human beings and citizens of this
nation as anyone else.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Who do you think you are saying that she had
me on there and tried to propagate the conversation or
carry it out longer so you could dig into my
new rosis, what new roses? I was never diagnosed with
any new ross.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I didn't say you were.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
You're selling to me like you don't heavy sense.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Well, I'm doing the best I can, and he don't
hold it against me.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
I'm not liberal. I'm very conservative, but I do think
if the system is going to destroy people's health, they
might as well get ready to give them a disability check.
And they need to stop having all these EMPs meters
and things and cell phone towers and GMO's and floride
in the water, which is dumbing down the population rights.
(23:32):
That's a psych drug. That's what floride is. That's a
Nazi psych drug used to keep people quiet.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I agree, I can we both agree that doctor Peter
Vankman is a genius.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Why don't you get doctor Robert Bentley on there and
let him?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Are you trying to get doctor Bentley on? I thought
you and I could at least agree on that.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Put them on the hot seat about these cmos.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I will tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think Peter Vankman trump's doctor Bentley every time you
read his materials and you read what you read what
mister Spangler has said on the subject, and I think
it'll answer a lot of questions. And you can check
on what Ray Parker Junior said about that very fact,
and I think you will realize that I'm not as
stupid as I look.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
You sound to me like you don't have any sense
saying that I have my condition because I said, in
the back of the wall class eating crayon.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I simply asked if I could stop in and see
what condition your condition was in. Now, there's nothing wrong
with that. It was a new addition form of.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
That question, what do you want my phone number for?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I didn't want you. I didn't want your phone number.
That was Kenny and that I don't even want to
begin to know what that was about.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Why do you want my phone?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Noow, I'm saying, that's doctor Bentley right there.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I chased it five minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Doctor Bentley, Erry, I appreciate you having me on your
program today. I was just listening to your show earlier
and I heard this woman mention my name. Would just
like to point out that she was a crazy woman,
and she did not.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now wait a second, you don't know that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You do not know that she's crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I do know that she is lying about going to
law school. I have done it. I had to quit amount
of research on our background and it is untrue.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
What you don't believe it?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Check it out, ma'am. This is doctor Bentley you asked.
We were able to track him down.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
It doesn't sound like any doctor Bentley to me. If
they don't believe I went to law school, check it out.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Doctor Bentley, what do you know about this person?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I know that I have prescribed her a heavy amount
of medication and she has not been taking it. Annie,
you need to get back to the hospital right now.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
That's not doctor Bentley. I know doctor Bentley. I met
him miss Chamber of Commerce breakfast. That's not even I'm
you idiot.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Annie.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's not nice that you asked us to get doctor
Bentley and we got doctor Bentley on the phone.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Proceed, Doctor Bentley, and I are very concerned for your
well being.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Doctor not on any phone. I know doctor Bentley, I'm
met even a rally. He's a Republican.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You're you're being a very rude guest, Doctor Bentley.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Idiot, Doctor Bentley, joke grow.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And this is just this gone too far doctor doctor Bentley, proceed,
White Actor, Doctor Bentley, proceed.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Annie, you know that you have not been taking your medication.
Your mother and I have had a long conversation about
your well being. We are very concerned for you. Now. Please,
you're very dangerous. You know that you're not supposed to
be out in public. You've hurt people. A liar, Annie,
you have hurt people, and you will hurt people again.
This is for your own well being.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You're not doctor Bentley. I met doctor Bentley at the
break in the rally.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Any tell me where you are located. We are sending
people now to come and get you and bring you
back here.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
You're an idiot, your own well being in mind.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Your family cares about you, Annie.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Annie. Your mother loves you very much. You're alarmed, Annie.
I would never lie to you. Now, you understand that
the voices you're hearing in your head, Annie are the
effect of you not taking your medication. We've explained this
to you.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I haven't heard any voice. Is that just your fate?
What I hear on Ghostgos?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I know, and we have told you you are not
to listen to that radio program anymore. You have hit
three years any I have told you time and time
again you must not listen to Heartfelt George, norre Coast
to Coast or that dreadful Alex Jones has stop. And
I'm not sure that this radio program is good for you.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
A cremic sad wise, Buddy,
