Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Very show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Generals gathered in.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The masses just like witches.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That black massive.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I have war.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Any time, any time a person campigs watch and it's
fifty million dollars into a campaign and they've been given
access for access to the Department of Treasury of the
United States of America.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
We are war.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Jail, absolute jail, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
From match their energy with unprecedented organizing, morbilogy, mobilizing, agitating.
We will see you Democrats in Congress in the streets.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It isn't going crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Some people cannot handle what's going on the performative art
that is our current media cycle. And I tell them
I've got friends that I will see them. Hey, come over,
let's have some bourbon. I got a new bourbon sponsor.
It's called Barefight whiskey dot com. And let's have some
(01:47):
Barefight whiskey. I want your honest opinion, if you like
it or not. It's a Kentucky straight bourbon or know
what you think of it, And I want you to
tell me what you think of it. And I got
a bourbon i't want you to try. And we're gonna
smoke a cigar and we'll catch up on what's going
on in your life and what's going on in mine.
Oh it's great, okay, And they'll come over and you
(02:10):
couldn't be in a happier place if you're a fellow.
We have a little cottage out back, which was just
a little shack before, but my wife's kind of made
it real nice for me. And it looks like a
place that you would imagine Winston Churchill smokes his cigars
and drank his sherry. I do bourbon, not sherry, but
you get the pointer, and you know there's leather bound
(02:34):
books and rich mahogany kind of thing, and it's it's
a happy place for a man whose wife has given
him a pass to go out and hang out with
his buddy. And my wife will normally make steaks or
Indian food and then we'll interrupt this to eat and
we come back outside to the back. You get to
smoke inside. If there's a game on, what's your game?
(02:55):
It's a great place. And they will say I'm so
upset the Democrats. They're going to democrats, And I'll say,
wait a minute, you're quoting a Democrat congressman that doesn't
even share a committee. That person never accomplishes anything. You've
(03:16):
got to stop thinking of that person as being a
powerful member of our government. That person's job is to
go on television and get airtime. Ayanna Presley, Maxine Waters,
Sheila Jackson Lee was the master of it. The dumber
the thing they say, the more invitations they get to
(03:39):
be a guest. So why aren't you bothering playing their
game and being upset at them? Do you not understand
this is idiocracy? You're howling at them. So that's why
I don't spend as much time as perhaps would be
fun to spend making fun of them, is because I
really don't think some people can understand. So what I
(04:00):
do is I just focus on Trump's success right now
because we're winning day in and out.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're winning.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Nothing these idiots say matter, none of it. They're not
stopping Trump. They're not able to stop Trump. They wish
they could, but they're not able. So for those few
of you who can handle, who can handle the fact
that we're gonna mock them, but not let it make
(04:28):
us miserable, because I'm gonna taste him when we talk
about the good old days in years to come, this
is the good old days. Trump won't always be president.
We won't always have the House in Senate. We won't
always have Pete Hegseethan and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Junior
and Cash Fortel. It won't always be like this. These
(04:50):
are the good old days. If you can't enjoy this now,
with that in mind, let's check in on the left.
Let's see, we've got Chuck Schumer, who even the demo,
even CNN is laughing at Chuck Schumer trying to start
a chant, trying to start a chant because chanting makes
(05:11):
it important.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And we cannot, we cannot allow Elon Musk and a
small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take
away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything
we have. We are gonna fight this fight. I am
gonna stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
We will win. We will win.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
We will win.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We will win.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We will we will rest. We won't rest. We won't rest.
We won't rest.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
I love that we won't rest. Because they leave from
there to go on yet another vacation. I mean, these
people's work is not real work. They're treated like kings
all day by your by government paid taxpayer, paid servants.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That they have all around him. Oh, mister center, mister center.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
But what they call work when we roll up our
sleeves and get to work, Chuck Schumer looks so out
of place. They stick him out there and surround him
with a bunch of black congressmen, and look, Wesley Hunt
is a very bright guy. He went to an exceptional
(06:32):
private school in Houston called Saint John's. The academic rigors
of that institution, I wouldn't want to go there. I mean,
it's it's a tough school, and it is it is.
It launches kids to Ivy League schools. It launches white
kids to Ivy League schools. If that tells you anything.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
With with very high ACT and SAT scores. And he
so he goes there. He goes from there to West Point.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
West Point's a tough, academically rigorous, and physically difficult institution.
He he distinguishes himself there and then he gets out and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Goes on now to be a congressman. He happens to
be black.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Of course, he's a Republican representing a district that's almost
all white. But a black Republican is not going to
be an idiot. A black democrat is necessarily, by being
a democrat, an idiot. But they stick, They stick Schumer
in front of all these blacks, and he looks and
he's trying to talk to talk, and he looks so
(07:42):
out of place. It reminds me of that scene from
Forrest Gump when Forrest, when Forrest ends up in a
fight at the Black Panther party, You remember that.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So I had a fight and familiar black pants. That's
Chuck Schumer. So I had a fight in an earli
your Black Panthers holiday. That is the quintessential Chuck Schumer moment.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day, Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So I read an entire editorial this morning.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
And I referenced it to begin the show today, and
a number of you have asked where you can find it,
So I'll tell you if you're on Twitter, it's the
only place I know to get it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The guy's name is John A. Conrad, with the K
John A. Conrad the fifth.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
And it is a really, really wonderful, very well structured
discussion of what Trump is doing to absolutely destroy the left,
to prevent them. It's like really really effective guerrilla warfare.
(09:21):
He's keeping them so distracted. And he goes through how
the left wins, how the Democrats, the deep state, the military,
the media, how they all work together, and Trump, by
creating these distractions and diversions, is preventing them from reloading
and doing what they would do to defeat him.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So the guy's name is John J. O.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
H n A. Conrad. It's John Conrad. I think on
is the actual Twitter handle. You can go find it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Elon Musk retweeted him, and so he's gone viral. The
last couple of days is.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
A wonderful, wonderful and very very effective description of why
Trump is succeeding. Because they're trying to defeat it. They're
going to accuse him of murdering somebody. They're going to
drag him back to court. They have to, they have
to stop him. And people will ask me, I feel
(10:22):
so sorry for people because they really don't understand that
the left doesn't care about what's good for the country.
They care about winning. Power is everything. People will say,
why are.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They mad at? And what he's doing is good.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
It doesn't matter if it's good. It's especially dangerous if
it's good, because if it's good, you'll see that it's good,
and you'll see that he's on the side of good
and they're on the side of evil. So that's why
they're gonna have to keep coming up with. Senator Chris
Murphy was on Morning Joe. He says he going to
take away your mama's Social Security. No he's not, but
(10:53):
this is the kind of crap they're gonna spread.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
It is extraordinary how much access Elon Musk and his
sort of creepy twenty two year old henchmen have to
all of our data. Right they have information that would
allow them to shut down your tax refund, your Medicare payment.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They know everything.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Potentially, they know everything about you and your family. And
the reality is that this could get cystopian very quickly.
That if you were to start speaking ill of Elon
Musk on social media, Elon Musk might be able to
stop or delay your tax refund or your mom's Social
Security benefit. In part because we have no window into
(11:30):
what's happening inside the Department of Treasury right now. We
were there last night on the steps of the Treasury Department,
asking to get in and meet with people to find
out what the extent of the damage was. We thought
there would be a couple hundred people with us. There
were I think over a thousand, perhaps two thousand people.
The American people are rising up right now, putting pressure
on legislators, including Republicans, to step in and do something
(11:52):
about this.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Listen, we are the minority party.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Republicans are in charge in the United States Senate and
House of Representatives. If we were to have any shape,
it's a passing legislation to stop Elon Musk's power grab
and information grab, Republicans would have to work with us,
and so we are going to use whatever levers we
have to try to raise the temperature in the Senate.
I'm not voting for a single nominee. I'm not expediting
a single nominee until Republicans join us to stop this
(12:17):
power grab. We will go to the courts on what's
happening in the Department of Treasury. We will hold rallies
this weekend to make sure that Republicans know that they're
going to pay a political price. We will use every
tool at our disposal to try to get this crisis fixed,
but we ultimately need Republicans who are in charge to
take this seriously.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Here is their problem. Their message is.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Musk is exposing all this waste, billions and billions and
billions of dollars. We must stop him from exposing the waste.
They can't argue it's not waste. So we're going to
hold a rally this weekend. The problem with these people
is that they have to have their people at the rally,
(13:00):
and their people are freak shows.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So give you an example.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
They elected a new chair and vice chair of the
Democrat Party and one of them is David Hogg. Remember
David Hogg. We're not going to spend a lot of
time on it. I put together a montage I didn't
Jim A. Mudd, our creative director did, to give you
an idea. This is what their rally is going to
look like. This is them actually talking as they're electing
(13:27):
a new party chair.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Maybe the endless, boundless energy of the universe wrap around
you with awe and love and well becoming amen, Asha
a mean and may we together make it so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I have to admit that I have my own white
privileged chare.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
But that doesn't prevent me from seeing the phobias that
exist throughout our communities.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Both in Minnesota and frankly throughout this country.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Hello Democrats, Hey, I am speaking, and I would love
your attention. There is a black woman out this podium,
and I deserve your attention like the eleven people who
went before me. Yes, I am speaking, Leavening Democrats.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Look up here, three strong black women standing before you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Three black women, grave and just grabbing a chair.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Ran for chair, say Cattle Glossias.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
My name is already Blanco, Freddie Blanco's daughter.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Vote for me for vice chair. Look at this room, y'all,
truly take it in. This is the Democratic Party.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
We are our strongest when we stand together.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
We are at a time in this country when our
democracy and our rights are under attack.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We're at a time where black and.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
Brown people, women, and other minorities are being blamed for
everything that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
With this country.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
So let's fight together for a stronger and more inclusive
Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Good ap, they are non d and c.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Let me say something. Over the last several days, we've
seen what happens when we have the wrong people in
powerful places, and so.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Today I ask for your support and.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Electing me is your DNC vice share Because in a
time of Cristis leadership matters.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
My people are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
We are sick and tired of being the last one.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Hired and the first one fired.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
We are sick and tired of the now.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I've spent the last fifteen years fighting for the American people,
all three hundred and forty million of them, what to do.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
To organize, show up and win.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
And that is why I'm.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Asking the people who are still with me in this ride,
because you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Know the work that I do to protect the vote.
Because I don't just drink. I don't just talk to talk.
I also walk the walk and I knock and.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Knock and Doorgan, this is CNN, this is the news,
so Michael Ferry, and that's why more people are watching
the cartoon network.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Stonge Bobberie runs right now.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I'm not going to play the entirety of the interview.
You can go back to the podcast and here, but
I just want to hear a few of the highlights.
We are not going to let the political prisoners and
what happened to them be forgotten. It's why you remember
the Holocaust, It's why you remember what happened with the
Armenian genocide. It's why you remember the horrible things that
happened during COVID.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
You always remember, you don't forget. But anyway, here were
a few highlights of that conversation.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
When I got there, the speech was over, and as
I'm walking into the street, the crowd is walking towards me,
which put me number one at the head of the crowd.
So they were walking to the Capitol, the capital from there.
So I get in front of the crowd and I'm walking.
It's the first time ever I've had a phone that
has a camera, so my intent was just to see
(16:57):
where all this was about. And as I was walking, Michael,
all I saw was good people. Everybody was patriotic. I
didn't see any weapons, never saw one weapon. People were praying,
(17:17):
groups of people praying. I did see one of the
news crew got jumped on their cameras smashed and stuff
as I was walking by. I continued walking onto the Capitol.
Once I got there, there was a good sized crowd
out there. I always had to be at the front
at any type of event, so I kept walking as
(17:39):
far as I could go, so I'd get all the
way push my way through the crowd. And get all
the way to the very front where the scaffolding is.
You'll see all that scaffolding and all that video I
got you right there, and they had it blocked off
with bicycle racks. So I stood around there and everything
was calm at that moment, and I walked over to
(18:00):
the left of the scaffolding to where there's the cement
pillars where you saw people being thrown off of eventually,
so they had enough security that they all had sniper
paintball I've never seen that like that, with scopes with
incindiary devices protecting everything, so there's no way you could
(18:23):
move forward. Everything was pretty calm, and then all of
a sudden, I noticed this guy that turned out to
be Ray Epps yelling at everybody, let's go in, let's
break through. This is your capital. And then someone through
him the megaphone, so and now he's on the megaphone.
So I noticed also to my left some movement, and
as I look over to my left, I see two
(18:43):
city size buses pull in unmarked with about six black SUVs,
and all of a sudden, about one hundred kids out
of each bus get out and put Trump gear on
and go into the crowd, so my attention gets diverted
back over to the front of the bicycle rack area,
which is basically the entrance that they had blocked off
(19:06):
up the steps. They had a set of doors built
with a framework halfway up these steps with about six
law enforcement gardens, and the crowd was pressed in there.
So within minutes of that bus arriving there, I noticed
that those sniper teams were pulled back and they were gone.
(19:29):
Right then I knew something was up. Okay, so the
crowd is pushing. I'm inside this area, close to those doors,
and I'm getting smashed up against this metal railing. So
I just kind of like Hail Mary, throw myself over
this rail because the crowd was smashing me into this
railing and got on the other side and was time
(19:50):
to leave. There's nothing to see. And as soon as
I got a couple steps down, those cops opened those
doors and stepped back, so I jumped in the crowd
I did and went in. So I was probably the
tent or twenty ten or twenty there's probably ten to
twenty guys ahead of me. As we went up these stairs,
and I kept saying, this is a setup. Is a setup,
(20:12):
because none of those cops are around. So we get
up on the upper level where the doors are to
the Capitol itself, and the doors are closed. So all
of a sudden I noticed some movement over there where
those doors were because I was looking. There was a
police Harley Davidson sitting there with its lights on and
(20:34):
the motor was running. The bike was just sitting there
with non around. So I'm looking at this motorcycle right there,
and as I turn around, the doors open. The law
enforcement just opens the doors and steps back and lets
everybody in. So that's the footage you'll see on CNN
of the American flag going in when we first go in.
(20:54):
So when we go through these doors, we take a ride,
and the cops are just welcome, welcoming everybody in. So
we go into the crypt area. I believe it's the
crypt or a statutory hall or the crypt. I just
remember a bunch of statues. So I just get to
the side and the crowd comes in, and of course
(21:15):
there's a standoff in there. There's law enforcement waiting and
Michael all I saw these people around me. They looked
like they were all professionals. I mean, I know law enforcement.
When I see it. I know military. These were no kids,
These are no fools. Okay, So everybody was inside this area.
(21:37):
So I made a couple of videos and then the
cops just backed away and let everybody go into the
next area, which I'm not sure what it's called, but
at the inside this bigger area, there's a hallway that
it is on the end, and that's the hallway where
Ashley got shot.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I'm looking at a picture of you. You look like
a guy that sticks out in a crowd as not
a young man. When a guy's a little older and
big and tough like that, that guy makes me way
more nervous.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But anyway, go ahead. So you've walked up on the
scene and it's happening.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
It's lived, it's all coming in hot. The law enforcement
standing there one foot in front of me. I'm between
the crowd and the cops. This cop says you need
to move your crowd back. I said, this crowd can't
go back as long as you guys don't move forward.
(22:31):
I'll keep these guys from move forward and we'll get
through this. Michael. The moment, I said that an agitator
that was in the crowd through a water bottle right
over my shoulder and hit that cop right in the forehead.
All the cops rampast me, which is I configured, you know.
Luckily they all ram past me, and it was on.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
They've arrested you. At this point, do they release you?
Do you get out on bond or do you stay
in jail?
Speaker 8 (22:59):
No? They I got out on their bond.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And then.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
So then let's see they I went through the court.
The lucky thing is they let me do court on Zoom.
Otherwise they would have shipped me back to DC. So
there's a special provision which if you get charged with
a misdemeanor, you can use Zoom instead of driving all
the way back to DC. Okay, so all four of
(23:26):
the charges were, of course misdemeanors. Uh So I go
through the court system, and I know the whole deal
with these people, so I just pled out to the
lesser charge. It turned out to be picketing and demonstrating
inside the capital, and it boiled down to that I
couldn't get any less because I actually chanted with the
(23:51):
crowd you as a us A inside the capital, and
that's what got me found guilty.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Each bb each ivy spooky vaginosis.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
With Your Naked bod is evil and atrocious.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
One of the beautiful Don Williams songs that was not
written by Bob mcdil written by Roger Cook and Sam Hogan.
Beautiful lyrics, really beautiful lyrics, an affirmation of the good
things in life. It was simple things, knows. Dare I
say the Southern things? Although when I say that, you
(24:33):
know I live in Houston, and when I go visit
our markets in New York, Portland, We've added a lot
of new ones I haven't visited yet. We got to
do that, including Philly.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
In Chicago.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
But when I mentioned visiting places like New York and Portland,
and this huge crowd of people who come out who
knew I didn't know we had all these listeners.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
This is crazy.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
And they come out and you meet them and they
talk about how much they love the show and things
they like about the show. And I come back and
I tell my friends that, and they say, people in
Portland say that, People in New York say that, And
I tell them, I tell my Texas friends. You don't understand.
(25:20):
There are Texans all over the country. They may never
have set foot inside the Lone Star State, but they
are Texan and spirit, by which I mean they're patriots.
They're about family and hard work and defending the week
against the bully and doing the right thing and caring
(25:43):
for other people. They're all over and the thing that
bums me out. In fact, it's interesting that we find
listeners are in some ways even more connected to the
show when they're.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
In blue cities. In blue communities.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Are Portland listeners on k EX eleven ninety they love
the show. Our Los Angeles listeners on KiB oh, my goodness,
they're hardcore because imagine living in la Imagine watching your
city burn to the ground while your mayor is in
(26:21):
Ghana and doesn't come back until she's practically dragged back.
And then imagine watching all these horrible things happening and
your system is falling apart. Well, those are the people
for whom we make the most sense, because we're talking
(26:41):
about the craziness.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
They understand it more than if you live. You know,
our listeners who live.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
In let's say West Texas, a red city, a red town,
red county, red state. It's theoretical, it's academic that liberals
are so it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You're not living under it. When you're living under it,
you understand it.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
So I asked a friend of mine to say the
word wan time backwards, and he said not now.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So I'm going to close the show with a little
story from this morning.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
I was talking about filler on plates, the things that
restaurants will put on a plate that are not really
Nobody even eats them. They're just there to fill up
the space, to make it look like they gave you
more food. It's like the baby's breath of the floral world,
you understand, just there to fill space. And so I mention,
we're talking about carrots. Somebody called in and said carrots,
(27:42):
and I said, no, no, no, I love carrots. My
wife makes a pot roast very often with corn breads,
my grandmother's pot roast recipe and my grandmother's corn bread,
and there's never enough carrots. I always tell her more carrots,
and she keeps thinking, well, I'm gonna dump so many carrots,
gonna get on his nerves. But he doesn't because I
love carrots. You can't put too many carrotsret's potatoes and
the roast beef or the pot roast. And so I
(28:06):
was talking about how much I love carrots, and a
friend of mine knows I love Jerry Klower. Jerry Klower
was he would have been a great preacher, and in
some ways he was a minister because he was Christian,
and he was unashamed to tell you that. But he
did it in the form of telling stories, and people
who are used to jokesters that you know, there is
(28:28):
the setup and then the punch line. The set up
and the journey with with Jerry Klower is the storytelling.
There may not be a punchline at the end. But
he said, you know, you were talking about those carrots,
and you got me to thinking about Jerry Klower and
the turnip greens, and so I thought I'd share it
with you because I love the late great Jerry Klower.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
The Lord called an old boy to preach. It rated
for Liberty, Mississippi when I was a young and growing up.
And he went off to college and was gone a
year and come home for Christmas holidays, and the pastor
of our local church said, do you know the courteous
thing to do is invite him to fill the pull
pits while he's home. Now, that fella got up in
(29:12):
the pul pit, just been gone from Eastport community one year,
and he got up in that pul pit, and you
would have thought he is born in a foreign land.
He didn't say God anymore. He said God, he didn't
(29:33):
say morning. He said mining me.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
My brother.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Sonny said, I ain't gonna listen. I said, Sonny, shut up,
you disturbing the worship service. Sonny said, Jerry, he ain't
being hisself. And the thing that just galls me so
about it, he ain't being one of us. You ain't
got no right not to be yourself, Jerry, he said,
(30:00):
I ain't gonna listen to him preaching. Listen, he goes
to talking like he ought to talk. Sonny said. The
thing it just galls me so bad about it is
he is just as poor as we was when we
was coming up. He said, If anything, he is a
little poorer than we was. Said Jared, don't you remember
the one summer that that boylfare and that poor pit
(30:21):
preaching right now, not being hisself. Don't you remember one
summer they were so poor that his mama fed him
so many turnip greens she had to keep a coal
all rag tied around his ankles to keep the cut.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Word from getting.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Now I share that story because I love good storytelling.
But I close the show with this part of being.
If you train salesman, if you have salesman who worked
for you, or if you're a parent and you train
your children, teach those around you to tell stories. Telling
(31:07):
stories is everything. It's everything. A good salesman tells a
good story, a good preacher tells a good story, A
good talk show host tells a good story. How do
you get good at it? You don't need a book,
you don't need a course, and you don't need toastmasters
or how to win friends. You practice. You say you
(31:30):
sell me this pen, Jordan Belford, you tell a story.
We ask our kids at dinner, what'd you do today?
Speaker 8 (31:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
No, tell me a story. Learn to tell a story,
learn to be descriptive. Well, the teacher gave us a test.
What kind of test? Was it a difficult test? Was
it an interesting test? Was it a red test? Was
it a tall test? Use your words? Tell the story,
Take me on a journey.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Teach your kids that.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
And if you've got people who sell for you, if
good salesman has building to tell a good story, practice
elms
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Have some futil me, thank you and good night,
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Very show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Generals gathered in.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
The masses just like witches.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That black massive.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I have war.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Any time, any time a person campigs watch and it's
fifty million dollars into a campaign and they've been given
access for access to the Department of Treasury of the
United States of America.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
We are war.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Jail, absolute jail, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
From match their energy with unprecedented organizing, morbilogy, mobilizing, agitating.
We will see you Democrats in Congress in the streets.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It isn't going crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Some people cannot handle what's going on the performative art
that is our current media cycle. And I tell them
I've got friends that I will see them. Hey, come over,
let's have some bourbon. I got a new bourbon sponsor.
It's called Barefight whiskey dot com. And let's have some
(01:47):
Barefight whiskey. I want your honest opinion, if you like
it or not. It's a Kentucky straight bourbon or know
what you think of it, And I want you to
tell me what you think of it. And I got
a bourbon i't want you to try. And we're gonna
smoke a cigar and we'll catch up on what's going
on in your life and what's going on in mine.
Oh it's great, okay, And they'll come over and you
(02:10):
couldn't be in a happier place if you're a fellow.
We have a little cottage out back, which was just
a little shack before, but my wife's kind of made
it real nice for me. And it looks like a
place that you would imagine Winston Churchill smokes his cigars
and drank his sherry. I do bourbon, not sherry, but
you get the pointer, and you know there's leather bound
(02:34):
books and rich mahogany kind of thing, and it's it's
a happy place for a man whose wife has given
him a pass to go out and hang out with
his buddy. And my wife will normally make steaks or
Indian food and then we'll interrupt this to eat and
we come back outside to the back. You get to
smoke inside. If there's a game on, what's your game?
(02:55):
It's a great place. And they will say I'm so
upset the Democrats. They're going to democrats, And I'll say,
wait a minute, you're quoting a Democrat congressman that doesn't
even share a committee. That person never accomplishes anything. You've
(03:16):
got to stop thinking of that person as being a
powerful member of our government. That person's job is to
go on television and get airtime. Ayanna Presley, Maxine Waters,
Sheila Jackson Lee was the master of it. The dumber
the thing they say, the more invitations they get to
(03:39):
be a guest. So why aren't you bothering playing their
game and being upset at them? Do you not understand
this is idiocracy? You're howling at them. So that's why
I don't spend as much time as perhaps would be
fun to spend making fun of them, is because I
really don't think some people can understand. So what I
(04:00):
do is I just focus on Trump's success right now
because we're winning day in and out.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're winning.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Nothing these idiots say matter, none of it. They're not
stopping Trump. They're not able to stop Trump. They wish
they could, but they're not able. So for those few
of you who can handle, who can handle the fact
that we're gonna mock them, but not let it make
(04:28):
us miserable, because I'm gonna taste him when we talk
about the good old days in years to come, this
is the good old days. Trump won't always be president.
We won't always have the House in Senate. We won't
always have Pete Hegseethan and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Junior
and Cash Fortel. It won't always be like this. These
(04:50):
are the good old days. If you can't enjoy this now,
with that in mind, let's check in on the left.
Let's see, we've got Chuck Schumer, who even the demo,
even CNN is laughing at Chuck Schumer trying to start
a chant, trying to start a chant because chanting makes
(05:11):
it important.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And we cannot, we cannot allow Elon Musk and a
small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take
away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything
we have. We are gonna fight this fight. I am
gonna stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
We will win. We will win.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
We will win.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We will win.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We will we will rest. We won't rest. We won't rest.
We won't rest.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
I love that we won't rest. Because they leave from
there to go on yet another vacation. I mean, these
people's work is not real work. They're treated like kings
all day by your by government paid taxpayer, paid servants.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That they have all around him. Oh, mister center, mister center.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
But what they call work when we roll up our
sleeves and get to work, Chuck Schumer looks so out
of place. They stick him out there and surround him
with a bunch of black congressmen, and look, Wesley Hunt
is a very bright guy. He went to an exceptional
(06:32):
private school in Houston called Saint John's. The academic rigors
of that institution, I wouldn't want to go there. I mean,
it's it's a tough school, and it is it is.
It launches kids to Ivy League schools. It launches white
kids to Ivy League schools. If that tells you anything.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
With with very high ACT and SAT scores. And he
so he goes there. He goes from there to West Point.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
West Point's a tough, academically rigorous, and physically difficult institution.
He he distinguishes himself there and then he gets out and.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Goes on now to be a congressman. He happens to
be black.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Of course, he's a Republican representing a district that's almost
all white. But a black Republican is not going to
be an idiot. A black democrat is necessarily, by being
a democrat, an idiot. But they stick, They stick Schumer
in front of all these blacks, and he looks and
he's trying to talk to talk, and he looks so
(07:42):
out of place. It reminds me of that scene from
Forrest Gump when Forrest, when Forrest ends up in a
fight at the Black Panther party, You remember that.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So I had a fight and familiar black pants. That's
Chuck Schumer. So I had a fight in an earli
your Black Panthers holiday. That is the quintessential Chuck Schumer moment.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day, Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So I read an entire editorial this morning.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
And I referenced it to begin the show today, and
a number of you have asked where you can find it,
So I'll tell you if you're on Twitter, it's the
only place I know to get it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The guy's name is John A. Conrad, with the K
John A. Conrad the fifth.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
And it is a really, really wonderful, very well structured
discussion of what Trump is doing to absolutely destroy the left,
to prevent them. It's like really really effective guerrilla warfare.
(09:21):
He's keeping them so distracted. And he goes through how
the left wins, how the Democrats, the deep state, the military,
the media, how they all work together, and Trump, by
creating these distractions and diversions, is preventing them from reloading
and doing what they would do to defeat him.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So the guy's name is John J. O.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
H n A. Conrad. It's John Conrad. I think on
is the actual Twitter handle. You can go find it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Elon Musk retweeted him, and so he's gone viral. The
last couple of days is.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
A wonderful, wonderful and very very effective description of why
Trump is succeeding. Because they're trying to defeat it. They're
going to accuse him of murdering somebody. They're going to
drag him back to court. They have to, they have
to stop him. And people will ask me, I feel
(10:22):
so sorry for people because they really don't understand that
the left doesn't care about what's good for the country.
They care about winning. Power is everything. People will say,
why are.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
They mad at? And what he's doing is good.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
It doesn't matter if it's good. It's especially dangerous if
it's good, because if it's good, you'll see that it's good,
and you'll see that he's on the side of good
and they're on the side of evil. So that's why
they're gonna have to keep coming up with. Senator Chris
Murphy was on Morning Joe. He says he going to
take away your mama's Social Security. No he's not, but
(10:53):
this is the kind of crap they're gonna spread.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
It is extraordinary how much access Elon Musk and his
sort of creepy twenty two year old henchmen have to
all of our data. Right they have information that would
allow them to shut down your tax refund, your Medicare payment.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They know everything.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Potentially, they know everything about you and your family. And
the reality is that this could get cystopian very quickly.
That if you were to start speaking ill of Elon
Musk on social media, Elon Musk might be able to
stop or delay your tax refund or your mom's Social
Security benefit. In part because we have no window into
(11:30):
what's happening inside the Department of Treasury right now. We
were there last night on the steps of the Treasury Department,
asking to get in and meet with people to find
out what the extent of the damage was. We thought
there would be a couple hundred people with us. There
were I think over a thousand, perhaps two thousand people.
The American people are rising up right now, putting pressure
on legislators, including Republicans, to step in and do something
(11:52):
about this.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Listen, we are the minority party.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Republicans are in charge in the United States Senate and
House of Representatives. If we were to have any shape,
it's a passing legislation to stop Elon Musk's power grab
and information grab, Republicans would have to work with us,
and so we are going to use whatever levers we
have to try to raise the temperature in the Senate.
I'm not voting for a single nominee. I'm not expediting
a single nominee until Republicans join us to stop this
(12:17):
power grab. We will go to the courts on what's
happening in the Department of Treasury. We will hold rallies
this weekend to make sure that Republicans know that they're
going to pay a political price. We will use every
tool at our disposal to try to get this crisis fixed,
but we ultimately need Republicans who are in charge to
take this seriously.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Here is their problem. Their message is.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Musk is exposing all this waste, billions and billions and
billions of dollars. We must stop him from exposing the waste.
They can't argue it's not waste. So we're going to
hold a rally this weekend. The problem with these people
is that they have to have their people at the rally,
(13:00):
and their people are freak shows.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So give you an example.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
They elected a new chair and vice chair of the
Democrat Party and one of them is David Hogg. Remember
David Hogg. We're not going to spend a lot of
time on it. I put together a montage I didn't
Jim A. Mudd, our creative director did, to give you
an idea. This is what their rally is going to
look like. This is them actually talking as they're electing
(13:27):
a new party chair.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Maybe the endless, boundless energy of the universe wrap around
you with awe and love and well becoming amen, Asha
a mean and may we together make it so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I have to admit that I have my own white
privileged chare.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
But that doesn't prevent me from seeing the phobias that
exist throughout our communities.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Both in Minnesota and frankly throughout this country.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Hello Democrats, Hey, I am speaking, and I would love
your attention. There is a black woman out this podium,
and I deserve your attention like the eleven people who
went before me. Yes, I am speaking, Leavening Democrats.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Look up here, three strong black women standing before you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Three black women, grave and just grabbing a chair.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Ran for chair, say Cattle Glossias.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
My name is already Blanco, Freddie Blanco's daughter.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Vote for me for vice chair. Look at this room, y'all,
truly take it in. This is the Democratic Party.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
We are our strongest when we stand together.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
We are at a time in this country when our
democracy and our rights are under attack.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We're at a time where black and.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
Brown people, women, and other minorities are being blamed for
everything that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
With this country.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
So let's fight together for a stronger and more inclusive
Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Good ap, they are non d and c.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Let me say something. Over the last several days, we've
seen what happens when we have the wrong people in
powerful places, and so.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Today I ask for your support and.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Electing me is your DNC vice share Because in a
time of Cristis leadership matters.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
My people are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
We are sick and tired of being the last one.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Hired and the first one fired.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
We are sick and tired of the now.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I've spent the last fifteen years fighting for the American people,
all three hundred and forty million of them, what to do.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
To organize, show up and win.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
And that is why I'm.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Asking the people who are still with me in this ride,
because you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Know the work that I do to protect the vote.
Because I don't just drink. I don't just talk to talk.
I also walk the walk and I knock and.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Knock and Doorgan, this is CNN, this is the news,
so Michael Ferry, and that's why more people are watching
the cartoon network.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Stonge Bobberie runs right now.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I'm not going to play the entirety of the interview.
You can go back to the podcast and here, but
I just want to hear a few of the highlights.
We are not going to let the political prisoners and
what happened to them be forgotten. It's why you remember
the Holocaust, It's why you remember what happened with the
Armenian genocide. It's why you remember the horrible things that
happened during COVID.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
You always remember, you don't forget. But anyway, here were
a few highlights of that conversation.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
When I got there, the speech was over, and as
I'm walking into the street, the crowd is walking towards me,
which put me number one at the head of the crowd.
So they were walking to the Capitol, the capital from there.
So I get in front of the crowd and I'm walking.
It's the first time ever I've had a phone that
has a camera, so my intent was just to see
(16:57):
where all this was about. And as I was walking, Michael,
all I saw was good people. Everybody was patriotic. I
didn't see any weapons, never saw one weapon. People were praying,
(17:17):
groups of people praying. I did see one of the
news crew got jumped on their cameras smashed and stuff
as I was walking by. I continued walking onto the Capitol.
Once I got there, there was a good sized crowd
out there. I always had to be at the front
at any type of event, so I kept walking as
(17:39):
far as I could go, so I'd get all the
way push my way through the crowd. And get all
the way to the very front where the scaffolding is.
You'll see all that scaffolding and all that video I
got you right there, and they had it blocked off
with bicycle racks. So I stood around there and everything
was calm at that moment, and I walked over to
(18:00):
the left of the scaffolding to where there's the cement
pillars where you saw people being thrown off of eventually,
so they had enough security that they all had sniper
paintball I've never seen that like that, with scopes with
incindiary devices protecting everything, so there's no way you could
(18:23):
move forward. Everything was pretty calm, and then all of
a sudden, I noticed this guy that turned out to
be Ray Epps yelling at everybody, let's go in, let's
break through. This is your capital. And then someone through
him the megaphone, so and now he's on the megaphone.
So I noticed also to my left some movement, and
as I look over to my left, I see two
(18:43):
city size buses pull in unmarked with about six black SUVs,
and all of a sudden, about one hundred kids out
of each bus get out and put Trump gear on
and go into the crowd, so my attention gets diverted
back over to the front of the bicycle rack area,
which is basically the entrance that they had blocked off
(19:06):
up the steps. They had a set of doors built
with a framework halfway up these steps with about six
law enforcement gardens, and the crowd was pressed in there.
So within minutes of that bus arriving there, I noticed
that those sniper teams were pulled back and they were gone.
(19:29):
Right then I knew something was up. Okay, so the
crowd is pushing. I'm inside this area, close to those doors,
and I'm getting smashed up against this metal railing. So
I just kind of like Hail Mary, throw myself over
this rail because the crowd was smashing me into this
railing and got on the other side and was time
(19:50):
to leave. There's nothing to see. And as soon as
I got a couple steps down, those cops opened those
doors and stepped back, so I jumped in the crowd
I did and went in. So I was probably the
tent or twenty ten or twenty there's probably ten to
twenty guys ahead of me. As we went up these stairs,
and I kept saying, this is a setup. Is a setup,
(20:12):
because none of those cops are around. So we get
up on the upper level where the doors are to
the Capitol itself, and the doors are closed. So all
of a sudden I noticed some movement over there where
those doors were because I was looking. There was a
police Harley Davidson sitting there with its lights on and
(20:34):
the motor was running. The bike was just sitting there
with non around. So I'm looking at this motorcycle right there,
and as I turn around, the doors open. The law
enforcement just opens the doors and steps back and lets
everybody in. So that's the footage you'll see on CNN
of the American flag going in when we first go in.
(20:54):
So when we go through these doors, we take a ride,
and the cops are just welcome, welcoming everybody in. So
we go into the crypt area. I believe it's the
crypt or a statutory hall or the crypt. I just
remember a bunch of statues. So I just get to
the side and the crowd comes in, and of course
(21:15):
there's a standoff in there. There's law enforcement waiting and
Michael all I saw these people around me. They looked
like they were all professionals. I mean, I know law enforcement.
When I see it. I know military. These were no kids,
These are no fools. Okay, So everybody was inside this area.
(21:37):
So I made a couple of videos and then the
cops just backed away and let everybody go into the
next area, which I'm not sure what it's called, but
at the inside this bigger area, there's a hallway that
it is on the end, and that's the hallway where
Ashley got shot.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
I'm looking at a picture of you. You look like
a guy that sticks out in a crowd as not
a young man. When a guy's a little older and
big and tough like that, that guy makes me way
more nervous.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But anyway, go ahead. So you've walked up on the
scene and it's happening.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
It's lived, it's all coming in hot. The law enforcement
standing there one foot in front of me. I'm between
the crowd and the cops. This cop says you need
to move your crowd back. I said, this crowd can't
go back as long as you guys don't move forward.
(22:31):
I'll keep these guys from move forward and we'll get
through this. Michael. The moment, I said that an agitator
that was in the crowd through a water bottle right
over my shoulder and hit that cop right in the forehead.
All the cops rampast me, which is I configured, you know.
Luckily they all ram past me, and it was on.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
They've arrested you. At this point, do they release you?
Do you get out on bond or do you stay
in jail?
Speaker 8 (22:59):
No? They I got out on their bond.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And then.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
So then let's see they I went through the court.
The lucky thing is they let me do court on Zoom.
Otherwise they would have shipped me back to DC. So
there's a special provision which if you get charged with
a misdemeanor, you can use Zoom instead of driving all
the way back to DC. Okay, so all four of
(23:26):
the charges were, of course misdemeanors. Uh So I go
through the court system, and I know the whole deal
with these people, so I just pled out to the
lesser charge. It turned out to be picketing and demonstrating
inside the capital, and it boiled down to that I
couldn't get any less because I actually chanted with the
(23:51):
crowd you as a us A inside the capital, and
that's what got me found guilty.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Each bb each ivy spooky vaginosis.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
With Your Naked bod is evil and atrocious.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
One of the beautiful Don Williams songs that was not
written by Bob mcdil written by Roger Cook and Sam Hogan.
Beautiful lyrics, really beautiful lyrics, an affirmation of the good
things in life. It was simple things, knows. Dare I
say the Southern things? Although when I say that, you
(24:33):
know I live in Houston, and when I go visit
our markets in New York, Portland, We've added a lot
of new ones I haven't visited yet. We got to
do that, including Philly.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
In Chicago.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
But when I mentioned visiting places like New York and Portland,
and this huge crowd of people who come out who
knew I didn't know we had all these listeners.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
This is crazy.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
And they come out and you meet them and they
talk about how much they love the show and things
they like about the show. And I come back and
I tell my friends that, and they say, people in
Portland say that, People in New York say that, And
I tell them, I tell my Texas friends. You don't understand.
(25:20):
There are Texans all over the country. They may never
have set foot inside the Lone Star State, but they
are Texan and spirit, by which I mean they're patriots.
They're about family and hard work and defending the week
against the bully and doing the right thing and caring
(25:43):
for other people. They're all over and the thing that
bums me out. In fact, it's interesting that we find
listeners are in some ways even more connected to the
show when they're.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
In blue cities. In blue communities.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Are Portland listeners on k EX eleven ninety they love
the show. Our Los Angeles listeners on KiB oh, my goodness,
they're hardcore because imagine living in la Imagine watching your
city burn to the ground while your mayor is in
(26:21):
Ghana and doesn't come back until she's practically dragged back.
And then imagine watching all these horrible things happening and
your system is falling apart. Well, those are the people
for whom we make the most sense, because we're talking
(26:41):
about the craziness.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
They understand it more than if you live. You know,
our listeners who live.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
In let's say West Texas, a red city, a red town,
red county, red state. It's theoretical, it's academic that liberals
are so it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You're not living under it. When you're living under it,
you understand it.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
So I asked a friend of mine to say the
word wan time backwards, and he said not now.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So I'm going to close the show with a little
story from this morning.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
I was talking about filler on plates, the things that
restaurants will put on a plate that are not really
Nobody even eats them. They're just there to fill up
the space, to make it look like they gave you
more food. It's like the baby's breath of the floral world,
you understand, just there to fill space. And so I mention,
we're talking about carrots. Somebody called in and said carrots,
(27:42):
and I said, no, no, no, I love carrots. My
wife makes a pot roast very often with corn breads,
my grandmother's pot roast recipe and my grandmother's corn bread,
and there's never enough carrots. I always tell her more carrots,
and she keeps thinking, well, I'm gonna dump so many carrots,
gonna get on his nerves. But he doesn't because I
love carrots. You can't put too many carrotsret's potatoes and
the roast beef or the pot roast. And so I
(28:06):
was talking about how much I love carrots, and a
friend of mine knows I love Jerry Klower. Jerry Klower
was he would have been a great preacher, and in
some ways he was a minister because he was Christian,
and he was unashamed to tell you that. But he
did it in the form of telling stories, and people
who are used to jokesters that you know, there is
(28:28):
the setup and then the punch line. The set up
and the journey with with Jerry Klower is the storytelling.
There may not be a punchline at the end. But
he said, you know, you were talking about those carrots,
and you got me to thinking about Jerry Klower and
the turnip greens, and so I thought I'd share it
with you because I love the late great Jerry Klower.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
The Lord called an old boy to preach. It rated
for Liberty, Mississippi when I was a young and growing up.
And he went off to college and was gone a
year and come home for Christmas holidays, and the pastor
of our local church said, do you know the courteous
thing to do is invite him to fill the pull
pits while he's home. Now, that fella got up in
(29:12):
the pul pit, just been gone from Eastport community one year,
and he got up in that pul pit, and you
would have thought he is born in a foreign land.
He didn't say God anymore. He said God, he didn't
(29:33):
say morning. He said mining me.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
My brother.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Sonny said, I ain't gonna listen. I said, Sonny, shut up,
you disturbing the worship service. Sonny said, Jerry, he ain't
being hisself. And the thing that just galls me so
about it, he ain't being one of us. You ain't
got no right not to be yourself, Jerry, he said,
(30:00):
I ain't gonna listen to him preaching. Listen, he goes
to talking like he ought to talk. Sonny said. The
thing it just galls me so bad about it is
he is just as poor as we was when we
was coming up. He said, If anything, he is a
little poorer than we was. Said Jared, don't you remember
the one summer that that boylfare and that poor pit
(30:21):
preaching right now, not being hisself. Don't you remember one
summer they were so poor that his mama fed him
so many turnip greens she had to keep a coal
all rag tied around his ankles to keep the cut.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Word from getting.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Now I share that story because I love good storytelling.
But I close the show with this part of being.
If you train salesman, if you have salesman who worked
for you, or if you're a parent and you train
your children, teach those around you to tell stories. Telling
(31:07):
stories is everything. It's everything. A good salesman tells a
good story, a good preacher tells a good story, A
good talk show host tells a good story. How do
you get good at it? You don't need a book,
you don't need a course, and you don't need toastmasters
or how to win friends. You practice. You say you
(31:30):
sell me this pen, Jordan Belford, you tell a story.
We ask our kids at dinner, what'd you do today?
Speaker 8 (31:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (31:36):
No, tell me a story. Learn to tell a story,
learn to be descriptive. Well, the teacher gave us a test.
What kind of test? Was it a difficult test? Was
it an interesting test? Was it a red test? Was
it a tall test? Use your words? Tell the story,
Take me on a journey.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Teach your kids that.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
And if you've got people who sell for you, if
good salesman has building to tell a good story, practice
elms
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Have some futil me, thank you and good night,
