Speaker 1 (00:00):
Could be like if you didn't give a damn about
what nobody else think about you, that boy's right.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Amen, go my God.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Tell them the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Preach it, baby.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I have a bad feeling you've been thinking.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm trying. I'm on a roll up in here on
the heir.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That's one of the things I have really enjoyed about
the old folks home is there's no political correctness and
nobody's worried that they've hurt somebody else's feelings.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Ever, it's it's like extreme autism, and I find that
very very uh, relaxing, invigorating, exhilarating. You just get to
live without without. I will not allow white liberals or
(00:57):
race baters into my inner circle and won't hire them,
and won't do business with them, and won't be around them,
because at some point they're going to be offended. It's
what they do. It's they can't help it. It's a
it's it's one of their it's one of their character traits.
It really doesn't matter what you do. You could do
nothing and that would be offensive, you know. They just
it's a way of getting attention. It's a way of
(01:19):
turning the tables as a way of gaining power over you.
It's a cudgel they use. And so you just don't
associate with them because if you have conversations with them,
eventually they're gonna twist what you said. If you if
if they know things about you, they're gonna they're gonna
twist and contort them. And and they're insidious. They're just
insidious little creatures. But anyway, I have noticed at the
(01:41):
Old Folks Home that everything is very direct, that there's
not the bandwidth to worry about nuance. It's not the
bandwidth to try to figure out the context. It's sort
of like slowing everything down. It's it's what people who
use marijuana described the experience for being as that their
(02:05):
anxiety is gone. And I know people who are high
functioning professionals who will talk about that experience. And I'm
so jealous because I have to. It's very hard for
me to turn my brain off. I'm not saying I'm
smarter than anyone else. I'm saying that my brain is REVVD.
The RPMs are too high, and I need to shift
(02:27):
into a different gear and get that get that back down,
because we're running, we're redlining all the time. And it's
it's it's very enjoyable to be around people for whom
no one's ever offended. Ever, no one's bothered, no one's
you know, concerned what another person's now. They can't hear
(02:49):
each other, but at least they're not bothered. So Harris
County has now named a building for Sylvester Turner, a
matter of days after he died, and nothing for George
Foreman calls to mind the line from John Houston in
the movie Chinatown. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whorors all get
(03:11):
respectable if they last long enough. Let's go to Chuck.
Is that still Chuck? Because it's showing us Chuck's ringing?
But Chuck was on hold, but you got going on there, Rema,
Why are you just looking at the phone?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I didn't see you were on it. I'm sorry, Yeah, Okay, good, Chuck.
I like to talk Chuck.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Chuck.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Hey, Michael, I just wanted to call and just say
I appreciate your show so much and the guests that
you have on where you talk about hard work and diligence,
and a lot of people have been talking about their
father's here lately, and I just wanted to call in
and give an incense about my dad about not quitting
and hard work. I had asked my dad years ago
(03:54):
when I was a child. I was eight years old.
I wanted to go to youth camp so bad that
a group from our church was going. And he kept
telling me, no, no, you're too young, you're too young,
We need to wait one more year. Well, I finally
broke them down and he let me go and I
went to camp. And the first night I was there,
I cried and boohooed, and my dad came three hours
(04:15):
to come pick me up, and he brought me home,
but he wouldn't let me go in the house. He
took me into the backyard.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Pitched a tent.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
He took work off for the rest of that week,
and we had a youth camp in my backyard. By
the end of the end of the week, we had
about sixteen different little pup tents from kids in my neighborhood,
and my dad had like a little youth camp in
the backyard. My dad was a lay preacher. He was
in the Navy, and I had to take my showers
(04:45):
with the hose back behind the bush, and we grilled
out every night, and my dad gave my mom money
to go to the hobby store and buy arts and
crafts for us, and by the end of the week
we had over thirty kids sleep them out of my
backyard every night, and I just never forget. My dad
always taught us that whatever you put your hand to,
(05:10):
you don't quit. You see it through, and then when
you're done, if that wasn't for you, well then you
move on something else. And your show reminds me a
lot of my dest diligence and hard work.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
That means more to me than you can imagine. Because
people think of talk radio as being purely political quote unquote,
elections races, the news cycle over who's upset at who,
and what Jasmine Rocket has said, and what AOC has said,
and whether they're what this or that person has said,
(05:50):
and that is the pure bread and circuses entertainment, adrenaline
rush of extreme anger. That is. Those are things we
will discuss, But what matters is fixing the real problems
raising kids, improving marriages, building businesses, accumulating wealth, growing, developing, empowering.
(06:20):
Those sorts of things are extraordinarily important, and I think
we lose, we miss an opportunity when all we do
is read headlines of who in Congress is mad at who?
And who's running and who's not and just yeah, so
thank you for saying that. One thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Let me move to receive.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
All right, Listen for the dio tone.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It sounds like this the Michael Barry Show chep tone
indicates everything is writing for your call.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Jove downtown and I'm thirday on a Tuesday, just to
check out the late night record show. Call it Impulson,
got it, Compolson, golleh and say what U's around? And
I just can't stop. It's a matter of instinct, it's
(07:24):
a matter of conditioning, a matter of fact. You can
call me pablem don bring up and our self. How'd
you like that? Doctor Landy tell me and Sue, let's
(07:44):
get that out.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You are on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program, sweetheart,
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I am almost seventy seven years old. I have two
disabilities to YOURPD and I'll ride. It's very painful in
both hiss. I live on a Texas Department of Housing
and Community Affairs property. I have very wrongfully without proof,
(08:15):
been evicted Saturday. I'll be homeless after the mover's.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Leave you said wrongfully and without proof? What is the
what are they claiming? It could be wrong, but what
are they claiming?
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Well, first with a note stuck on the door from
the downstairs neighbors accusing me of walking, causing.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Pictures to fall off of her wall and sounding like
an elephant coming through her ceiling. When I lead it
to the apartment manager, he said, I know who did that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
She's crazy.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I've seen you walk.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Don't worry about it. Throw the note away. And a
few weeks later I got a leaf violation saying that
I'm causing pictures to fall off the wall of a
neighbor and I'm yelling and screaming late night. Then I
(09:21):
got a non renewal leaf notice. Lone Stair legal aide
helped me and wrote a letter saying you cannot non
renew a lease without good cause. And at the same
time Lone Story said, you didn't tell me about the
(09:44):
second leaf violation. I said, I never got it. What
are you talking about? That one accused me of sweeping
feces off of my balcony peer and feces off of
my balcony. The balconies are even for one thing. It
(10:06):
would be impossible to sweep anything and have it crawl
up under the balcony under me. But beyond that, it
never happened. I have four litter pans for two pets.
Inside those pans are kept completely clean, and I have
(10:27):
a corn hust room on the balcony that I would
never think of sweeping that with a corn hust room.
So they took me to the JP court and I lost,
and I filed the appeal and nobody could have I
(10:48):
couldn't get legal assistance, volunteer lawyers, lone store, nobody, nobody
could would help me. Everybody said they were busy. So
I face saw by myself and I'm you know, all
through this, I prayed God just helped me through this,
(11:09):
and I thought my truth would stand and just stand
for itself, that the truth. There is no proof, there
is no evidence of any of this, and so I've
heard you say. And when all else fails, they pulled
the race card. They did that too, And I said,
(11:32):
in those appeal the answers you have to file for
the appeal, I said, prove it, prove it, prove it,
prove it. And on the race one, I said, what
was that conversation? What was the date what was the
time of day, what was I wearing? What caused me
(11:53):
to say that? And she, the manager answered, oh, you
were behind your closed door. I was mopping the floor.
So again there is no proof, there's nothing. So I
go to a doll Protective Services trying to get some
(12:16):
kind of roof over my head. The list a wait
list for senior apartments or a year long. You can't
just go around a senior apartment. And the reason I'm
so adamant about senior is the authritis and my hip.
It's dangerous for me to get into the back tub
(12:39):
with the wall like that. I am very afraid of falling.
I need to walk in shower. It's just it's just law.
Their what I saw them do to Donald Trump, it's
happening to me on a different levels. It's discussing what
(13:01):
this country has come to. And I've heard you say,
if they come for Trump, they can come for you too.
And they came for me and it was a bloodbast
They mopped the street with me unjustly. It never should
have happened, Never should have happened.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What is the race in approximate age and sex of
the person living downstairs?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't know a black female. I don't know, twenties
or thirties, and I'm not even sure of that. The
night that the smoke alarm, the fire alarm went off
in the building two o'clock in the morning and everybody
was in the hall, I had seen somebody that fit
(13:52):
that description is but I'm not even positive of that.
And the DEI I bet at a the seventy apartments,
there are only four white people on this property.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This is a state this is a state program.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yes, yes, and they allow addictions. I mean that's on
the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You feel if Greg Abbott gave a damn, he would
do what dose has done for the federal government. But
he never will. There is so much waste, fraud, inefficiency,
self dealing Democrat power brokers within the state government agency
operations it would shock you. I happen to know about
(14:42):
a few of them in particular. But when it comes
to medical, housing, benefits, those sorts of things, it's not
Republicans in charge. They've let the Democrats set up entire fiefdoms.
You wouldn't believe how rich they're getting. But as it
relates to you, if you believe that to race based,
and I don't know. You tell me that it is,
(15:03):
I will tell you it is becoming. It is becoming
a mark, a star of David to be an old
white person. There are some evil, malicious racist blacks who
use agencies and governmental power like this to harm people
(15:24):
like you because it's an axe that they grind, and frankly,
they probably got somebody else they're ready to put in
there to replace you.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
If you don't like them, we'll reprint them or refine
your money. No matter whose fault it.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Is the Michael Show.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You have a photo mat Your photo matters.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
It was what I said, don't about it's with the
green moldas Land. Everywas you gotta get down land and
the Western Oil can under my local level.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Chair, it's a fine day, no timline day.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
For several years, a woman named Nancy Ware has asked
me to come and speak to her senior leadership team
at her firm. Her firm is a strategic messaging company.
They do Tilman for Tita's work, but they do others
as well. I think they do Midway properties. Their motto
(16:40):
is best in class, so they want to be They
want to represent the best in your class at what
you do. Whatever prescent real estate. John Goff's group is
one of their clients. But what they do is they
position your brand and your projects in the public's mind
so that the vision is brought out as to what's happening.
(17:03):
So it just doesn't look like for real estate, which
is one of the things they do, it's not just
that you're building a brick and mortar and renting it out.
It's here's what you're trying to accomplish, here's the goal
behind it, here's what it was patterned on. And they're extraordinarily,
extraordinarily good. It happens to be a woman owned business
(17:25):
in a field where nobody you don't get credit. She's
not doing government work. You don't get credit for woman
owned business.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So when.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I think it's called Dancy Perishinie where DPWPR public relations,
nobody hires them because they get credit for it. Being
a woman owned business just happens to be one on themen.
She just happens to be a woman. And talk about
a tough woman. I have friends where there's several families
(17:59):
that we will see in Colorado and they're one of them,
and so we have dinner and we always talk, and
I have a lot of questions for her, and like
very successful people, she has lots of questions. Really smart
people ask a lot of questions. Mattress Mac is one
of the most inquisitive human beings I've ever met. Russell
Lebar very inquisitive. People will say, what do you and
(18:19):
Mac talk about? I say, we don't.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I talk.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
He won't talk. He just starts peppering me with questions.
He as curious. He's curious about everything, and that's just
the way he is. And I'm usually the one asking
all the questions. So it's a little a little shocking
to me. But so I had this meeting for years.
I've promised I would come over, but I hate meetings,
and so I finally did it this week. It was
(18:46):
supposed to be about a thirty minute meeting and it
ended up being a three hour meeting, and I was exhilarated.
I walked out of there at say three thirty in
the afternoon, and I was exhilarated because they were telling
me about all the projects they're working on, projects that
their clients are doing, and challenges and opportunities all the
way down to a robust internship program. And because it
(19:11):
is an entirely female company. It's there are certain women,
certain young women, who are inspired by that and they
want to have female mentors. So you don't have to
legislate this stuff. It happens naturally. And when it doesn't
happen naturally, it's because a woman wants to be a
woman owned business and she's not good at what she
does and we shouldn't prop her up with government dollars
(19:32):
to make her so. Same thing with minorities, and there
are plenty of great minority owned firms, you know, disabled
everything else. You don't need to mandate it. You only
need to mandate it for those that happen to be
of that group but wouldn't be good enough to succeed.
So we're going to prop them up and say you
don't have to be good to succeed. We're gonna give
(19:53):
you the money to succeed even though you're not good.
And because the end goal is that we have to
have more people that look like you that have a company, well,
Dancy Ware doesn't have to be a woman owned business.
In fact, her clients are all high powered men. And
I can tell you working for Tillman and Furtita would
probably be a lot like working for Elon Musk or
(20:13):
Donald Trump, late night calls, early morning calls, expectation that
you are never off the clock. Mac is the same
way Brenda Love, who does all his pr Brenda Love
is on call at all times. She's on vacation, she's
on call, she's at a wedding, she's stepping out. Because
that's how Mac moves, That's how he You don't have
(20:34):
to like it, you don't have to live it, but
you have to understand. And Brenda Love would be another person,
you know, in that kind of field anyway. But I
found from that meeting with Dancyware in the conversation and
talking to her to the ladies that make her senior team,
I was exhilarated by the optimism and the positivity, and
(20:56):
it made me think, you know, I I am at
a point in my career where I don't have to
meet anybody I don't want to meet. I'm constantly being
asked to sit in and meetings. You know, we got
to have a zoom call, we gotta have a conference call,
we gotta we gotta meet everybody wants to meet because
meeting feels time and makes people feel Women are way
(21:17):
worse about this than men. But I know plenty of men.
They want let's have a meeting. Let's get everybody together
and meet. What are we gonna do? We're gonna meet?
It's god, dang it, I ain't doing your damn meeting.
I what is going to be accomplished? Life is too short.
So you know, you see these people in there, they're
rushing into Walgreens because they got to grab something because
(21:39):
they're going from here. And they show up at their
kids baseball game and they come blowing in and in
their in their expensive suit and their expensive BMW or
Mercedes or Alexis or whatever it is, and and they've
got all their jings. Oh my god, what's happening in
the game, because it's fourth inning by this time, we're
down three two? Oh my god, what's happened? Well, what's
(22:00):
happened is the game. The game has happened, and you
weren't here, And I'm not going to catch you up
on it, because I'm not even unsure you understand baseball. Well, oh,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I'm late.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The traffic. The traffic's the same every day, you know exactly.
You left late. Well, I had a meeting and then
I had another meeting and had another meet. Well, stop
having meetings. Take control of your life. But you know what,
it's not that they can't say no, it's they love
to say yes. Once you understand that, Once you understand
(22:36):
I told you about the peace on high agency, taking
control of your life. Taking control of your life, high
agency one of those elements. You remember what it was
the most important. Disagreeability. Steve Jobs was very disagreeable. Elon
Musk is very disagreeable, Donald Trump very disagreeable, Mac very disagreeable.
(22:57):
You wouldn't know it, but trust me, he is coming
for Teita very disagreeable. Thomas Edison very disagreeable. They're not
going to follow your rules. And I'm not saying this
is for everybody. I'm saying that there are a lot
of you out there that could be superstars, rock stars.
You could be great at what you do. And by
(23:17):
the way, that's not just young men on the rise
in your business. If you live at the old folks home,
you don't have to go to dinner, if you don't
have anybody to sit with and you're not enjoyable eat
in your room. If you're working at the shop and
they tell jokes and you don't feel comfortable with it
because it's demeaning to people, and that makes you feel
Just don't join that get don't eat at the time
(23:39):
other people eat. Make choices. Take control of the agency
in your life and stop feeling like you have to
do things you don't want to do. If you don't
like that church, don't go to that church, find another one,
do something else. If you don't like to associate with
your sister in law because she demeans you and you
(24:01):
want to punch her in the face, but you know
you can't, just don't go to those gatherings any longer
ever again. Take a stand, Take control of your life.
Stop going along to get along because it makes you miserable.
You ask any of the addicts, I don't care if
it's narco, alcohol, whatever. They'll tell you. Doing things you
don't want to do, swallowing your opinion, being around people
(24:25):
you don't like, tolerating things that make you crazy, that's
what makes you an addict. It's true. It's absolutely true.
Wonderful week. We'll see you this evening. You can email
me anytime. Michael Berryshow dot com. Thank you for supporting
our sponsors. Thank you for our sponsors for being here,
and if this is our last show, I want you
(24:46):
to know it's been a great run.
Could be like if you didn't give a damn about
what nobody else think about you, that boy's right.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Amen, go my God.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Tell them the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Preach it, baby.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I have a bad feeling you've been thinking.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm trying. I'm on a roll up in here on
the heir.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That's one of the things I have really enjoyed about
the old folks home is there's no political correctness and
nobody's worried that they've hurt somebody else's feelings.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Ever, it's it's like extreme autism, and I find that
very very uh, relaxing, invigorating, exhilarating. You just get to
live without without. I will not allow white liberals or
(00:57):
race baters into my inner circle and won't hire them,
and won't do business with them, and won't be around them,
because at some point they're going to be offended. It's
what they do. It's they can't help it. It's a
it's it's one of their it's one of their character traits.
It really doesn't matter what you do. You could do
nothing and that would be offensive, you know. They just
it's a way of getting attention. It's a way of
(01:19):
turning the tables as a way of gaining power over you.
It's a cudgel they use. And so you just don't
associate with them because if you have conversations with them,
eventually they're gonna twist what you said. If you if
if they know things about you, they're gonna they're gonna
twist and contort them. And and they're insidious. They're just
insidious little creatures. But anyway, I have noticed at the
(01:41):
Old Folks Home that everything is very direct, that there's
not the bandwidth to worry about nuance. It's not the
bandwidth to try to figure out the context. It's sort
of like slowing everything down. It's it's what people who
use marijuana described the experience for being as that their
(02:05):
anxiety is gone. And I know people who are high
functioning professionals who will talk about that experience. And I'm
so jealous because I have to. It's very hard for
me to turn my brain off. I'm not saying I'm
smarter than anyone else. I'm saying that my brain is REVVD.
The RPMs are too high, and I need to shift
(02:27):
into a different gear and get that get that back down,
because we're running, we're redlining all the time. And it's
it's it's very enjoyable to be around people for whom
no one's ever offended. Ever, no one's bothered, no one's
you know, concerned what another person's now. They can't hear
(02:49):
each other, but at least they're not bothered. So Harris
County has now named a building for Sylvester Turner, a
matter of days after he died, and nothing for George
Foreman calls to mind the line from John Houston in
the movie Chinatown. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whorors all get
(03:11):
respectable if they last long enough. Let's go to Chuck.
Is that still Chuck? Because it's showing us Chuck's ringing?
But Chuck was on hold, but you got going on there, Rema,
Why are you just looking at the phone?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I didn't see you were on it. I'm sorry, Yeah, Okay, good, Chuck.
I like to talk Chuck.

elections races, the news cycle over who's upset at who,
and what Jasmine Rocket has said, and what AOC has said,
and whether they're what this or that person has said,
(05:50):
and that is the pure bread and circuses entertainment, adrenaline
rush of extreme anger. That is. Those are things we
will discuss, But what matters is fixing the real problems
raising kids, improving marriages, building businesses, accumulating wealth, growing, developing, empowering.
(06:20):
Those sorts of things are extraordinarily important, and I think
we lose, we miss an opportunity when all we do
is read headlines of who in Congress is mad at who?
And who's running and who's not and just yeah, so
thank you for saying that. One thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Let me move to receive.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
All right, Listen for the dio tone.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It sounds like this the Michael Barry Show chep tone
indicates everything is writing for your call.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Jove downtown and I'm thirday on a Tuesday, just to
check out the late night record show. Call it Impulson,
got it, Compolson, golleh and say what U's around? And
I just can't stop. It's a matter of instinct, it's
(07:24):
a matter of conditioning, a matter of fact. You can
call me pablem don bring up and our self. How'd
you like that? Doctor Landy tell me and Sue, let's
(07:44):
get that out.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You are on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program, sweetheart,
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I am almost seventy seven years old. I have two
disabilities to YOURPD and I'll ride. It's very painful in
both hiss. I live on a Texas Department of Housing
and Community Affairs property. I have very wrongfully without proof,
(08:15):
been evicted Saturday. I'll be homeless after the mover's.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Leave you said wrongfully and without proof? What is the
what are they claiming? It could be wrong, but what
are they claiming?
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Well, first with a note stuck on the door from
the downstairs neighbors accusing me of walking, causing.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Pictures to fall off of her wall and sounding like
an elephant coming through her ceiling. When I lead it
to the apartment manager, he said, I know who did that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
She's crazy.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I've seen you walk.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Don't worry about it. Throw the note away. And a
few weeks later I got a leaf violation saying that
I'm causing pictures to fall off the wall of a
neighbor and I'm yelling and screaming late night. Then I
(09:21):
got a non renewal leaf notice. Lone Stair legal aide
helped me and wrote a letter saying you cannot non
renew a lease without good cause. And at the same
time Lone Story said, you didn't tell me about the
(09:44):
second leaf violation. I said, I never got it. What
are you talking about? That one accused me of sweeping
feces off of my balcony peer and feces off of
my balcony. The balconies are even for one thing. It
(10:06):
would be impossible to sweep anything and have it crawl
up under the balcony under me. But beyond that, it
never happened. I have four litter pans for two pets.
Inside those pans are kept completely clean, and I have
(10:27):
a corn hust room on the balcony that I would
never think of sweeping that with a corn hust room.
So they took me to the JP court and I lost,
and I filed the appeal and nobody could have I
(10:48):
couldn't get legal assistance, volunteer lawyers, lone store, nobody, nobody
could would help me. Everybody said they were busy. So
I face saw by myself and I'm you know, all
through this, I prayed God just helped me through this,
(11:09):
and I thought my truth would stand and just stand
for itself, that the truth. There is no proof, there
is no evidence of any of this, and so I've
heard you say. And when all else fails, they pulled
the race card. They did that too, And I said,
(11:32):
in those appeal the answers you have to file for
the appeal, I said, prove it, prove it, prove it,
prove it. And on the race one, I said, what
was that conversation? What was the date what was the
time of day, what was I wearing? What caused me
(11:53):
to say that? And she, the manager answered, oh, you
were behind your closed door. I was mopping the floor.
So again there is no proof, there's nothing. So I
go to a doll Protective Services trying to get some
(12:16):
kind of roof over my head. The list a wait
list for senior apartments or a year long. You can't
just go around a senior apartment. And the reason I'm
so adamant about senior is the authritis and my hip.
It's dangerous for me to get into the back tub
(12:39):
with the wall like that. I am very afraid of falling.
I need to walk in shower. It's just it's just law.
Their what I saw them do to Donald Trump, it's
happening to me on a different levels. It's discussing what
(13:01):
this country has come to. And I've heard you say,
if they come for Trump, they can come for you too.
And they came for me and it was a bloodbast
They mopped the street with me unjustly. It never should
have happened, Never should have happened.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
What is the race in approximate age and sex of
the person living downstairs?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't know a black female. I don't know, twenties
or thirties, and I'm not even sure of that. The
night that the smoke alarm, the fire alarm went off
in the building two o'clock in the morning and everybody
was in the hall, I had seen somebody that fit
(13:52):
that description is but I'm not even positive of that.
And the DEI I bet at a the seventy apartments,
there are only four white people on this property.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This is a state this is a state program.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yes, yes, and they allow addictions. I mean that's on
the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You feel if Greg Abbott gave a damn, he would
do what dose has done for the federal government. But
he never will. There is so much waste, fraud, inefficiency,
self dealing Democrat power brokers within the state government agency
operations it would shock you. I happen to know about
(14:42):
a few of them in particular. But when it comes
to medical, housing, benefits, those sorts of things, it's not
Republicans in charge. They've let the Democrats set up entire fiefdoms.
You wouldn't believe how rich they're getting. But as it
relates to you, if you believe that to race based,
and I don't know. You tell me that it is,
(15:03):
I will tell you it is becoming. It is becoming
a mark, a star of David to be an old
white person. There are some evil, malicious racist blacks who
use agencies and governmental power like this to harm people
(15:24):
like you because it's an axe that they grind, and frankly,
they probably got somebody else they're ready to put in
there to replace you.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
If you don't like them, we'll reprint them or refine
your money. No matter whose fault it.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Is the Michael Show.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You have a photo mat Your photo matters.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
It was what I said, don't about it's with the
green moldas Land. Everywas you gotta get down land and
the Western Oil can under my local level.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Chair, it's a fine day, no timline day.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
For several years, a woman named Nancy Ware has asked
me to come and speak to her senior leadership team
at her firm. Her firm is a strategic messaging company.
They do Tilman for Tita's work, but they do others
as well. I think they do Midway properties. Their motto
(16:40):
is best in class, so they want to be They
want to represent the best in your class at what
you do. Whatever prescent real estate. John Goff's group is
one of their clients. But what they do is they
position your brand and your projects in the public's mind
so that the vision is brought out as to what's happening.
(17:03):
So it just doesn't look like for real estate, which
is one of the things they do, it's not just
that you're building a brick and mortar and renting it out.
It's here's what you're trying to accomplish, here's the goal
behind it, here's what it was patterned on. And they're extraordinarily,
extraordinarily good. It happens to be a woman owned business
(17:25):
in a field where nobody you don't get credit. She's
not doing government work. You don't get credit for woman
owned business.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So when.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I think it's called Dancy Perishinie where DPWPR public relations,
nobody hires them because they get credit for it. Being
a woman owned business just happens to be one on themen.
She just happens to be a woman. And talk about
a tough woman. I have friends where there's several families
(17:59):
that we will see in Colorado and they're one of them,
and so we have dinner and we always talk, and
I have a lot of questions for her, and like
very successful people, she has lots of questions. Really smart
people ask a lot of questions. Mattress Mac is one
of the most inquisitive human beings I've ever met. Russell
Lebar very inquisitive. People will say, what do you and
(18:19):
Mac talk about? I say, we don't.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I talk.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
He won't talk. He just starts peppering me with questions.
He as curious. He's curious about everything, and that's just
the way he is. And I'm usually the one asking
all the questions. So it's a little a little shocking
to me. But so I had this meeting for years.
I've promised I would come over, but I hate meetings,
and so I finally did it this week. It was
(18:46):
supposed to be about a thirty minute meeting and it
ended up being a three hour meeting, and I was exhilarated.
I walked out of there at say three thirty in
the afternoon, and I was exhilarated because they were telling
me about all the projects they're working on, projects that
their clients are doing, and challenges and opportunities all the
way down to a robust internship program. And because it
(19:11):
is an entirely female company. It's there are certain women,
certain young women, who are inspired by that and they
want to have female mentors. So you don't have to
legislate this stuff. It happens naturally. And when it doesn't
happen naturally, it's because a woman wants to be a
woman owned business and she's not good at what she
does and we shouldn't prop her up with government dollars
(19:32):
to make her so. Same thing with minorities, and there
are plenty of great minority owned firms, you know, disabled
everything else. You don't need to mandate it. You only
need to mandate it for those that happen to be
of that group but wouldn't be good enough to succeed.
So we're going to prop them up and say you
don't have to be good to succeed. We're gonna give
(19:53):
you the money to succeed even though you're not good.
And because the end goal is that we have to
have more people that look like you that have a company, well,
Dancy Ware doesn't have to be a woman owned business.
In fact, her clients are all high powered men. And
I can tell you working for Tillman and Furtita would
probably be a lot like working for Elon Musk or
(20:13):
Donald Trump, late night calls, early morning calls, expectation that
you are never off the clock. Mac is the same
way Brenda Love, who does all his pr Brenda Love
is on call at all times. She's on vacation, she's
on call, she's at a wedding, she's stepping out. Because
that's how Mac moves, That's how he You don't have
(20:34):
to like it, you don't have to live it, but
you have to understand. And Brenda Love would be another person,
you know, in that kind of field anyway. But I
found from that meeting with Dancyware in the conversation and
talking to her to the ladies that make her senior team,
I was exhilarated by the optimism and the positivity, and
(20:56):
it made me think, you know, I I am at
a point in my career where I don't have to
meet anybody I don't want to meet. I'm constantly being
asked to sit in and meetings. You know, we got
to have a zoom call, we gotta have a conference call,
we gotta we gotta meet everybody wants to meet because
meeting feels time and makes people feel Women are way
(21:17):
worse about this than men. But I know plenty of men.
They want let's have a meeting. Let's get everybody together
and meet. What are we gonna do? We're gonna meet?
It's god, dang it, I ain't doing your damn meeting.
I what is going to be accomplished? Life is too short.
So you know, you see these people in there, they're
rushing into Walgreens because they got to grab something because
(21:39):
they're going from here. And they show up at their
kids baseball game and they come blowing in and in
their in their expensive suit and their expensive BMW or
Mercedes or Alexis or whatever it is, and and they've
got all their jings. Oh my god, what's happening in
the game, because it's fourth inning by this time, we're
down three two? Oh my god, what's happened? Well, what's
(22:00):
happened is the game. The game has happened, and you
weren't here, And I'm not going to catch you up
on it, because I'm not even unsure you understand baseball. Well, oh,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I'm late.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The traffic. The traffic's the same every day, you know exactly.
You left late. Well, I had a meeting and then
I had another meeting and had another meet. Well, stop
having meetings. Take control of your life. But you know what,
it's not that they can't say no, it's they love
to say yes. Once you understand that, Once you understand
(22:36):
I told you about the peace on high agency, taking
control of your life. Taking control of your life, high
agency one of those elements. You remember what it was
the most important. Disagreeability. Steve Jobs was very disagreeable. Elon
Musk is very disagreeable, Donald Trump very disagreeable, Mac very disagreeable.
(22:57):
You wouldn't know it, but trust me, he is coming
for Teita very disagreeable. Thomas Edison very disagreeable. They're not
going to follow your rules. And I'm not saying this
is for everybody. I'm saying that there are a lot
of you out there that could be superstars, rock stars.
You could be great at what you do. And by
(23:17):
the way, that's not just young men on the rise
in your business. If you live at the old folks home,
you don't have to go to dinner, if you don't
have anybody to sit with and you're not enjoyable eat
in your room. If you're working at the shop and
they tell jokes and you don't feel comfortable with it
because it's demeaning to people, and that makes you feel
Just don't join that get don't eat at the time
(23:39):
other people eat. Make choices. Take control of the agency
in your life and stop feeling like you have to
do things you don't want to do. If you don't
like that church, don't go to that church, find another one,
do something else. If you don't like to associate with
your sister in law because she demeans you and you
(24:01):
want to punch her in the face, but you know
you can't, just don't go to those gatherings any longer
ever again. Take a stand, Take control of your life.
Stop going along to get along because it makes you miserable.
You ask any of the addicts, I don't care if
it's narco, alcohol, whatever. They'll tell you. Doing things you
don't want to do, swallowing your opinion, being around people
(24:25):
you don't like, tolerating things that make you crazy, that's
what makes you an addict. It's true. It's absolutely true.
