Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and Load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
I can feel a good one coming on. It's the
(00:24):
Michael Berry Show. Them of the headlines for the week
were going to get to be Land. Let's see things
we didn't get to. Tropics staying active, ts Gabriel no
threat to at least the Gulf Coast. Another tropical wave
off the coast of Africa. Our trafficking, weather and news
(00:49):
departments will send me updates on news stories, and like
some of you, I'm just I'm just interested in it
for no other reason, even if it's never going to
hit me, just because I find this sort of stuff
is interesting. The county judge in Harris County announced this
week that she will not be seeking reelection. I think
she was the last one to figure that out because
(01:10):
she couldn't win. She's so unpopular. She's extraordinarily mentally unstable,
so much so that she's been in and out of
the nuthouse multiple times. And it's awkward because the county's
judge is like the county mayor, and that person is
in charge of homeland security and disaster preparedness, and so
it makes it an awkward moment when she just goes
(01:31):
missing for months at a time. She was a big
fan of the lockdowns during COVID, and so she was
asked this week if she had any regrets, and she said, well,
I hate during the COVID nineteen pandemic that the kids
were locked out of school for so long, but that's
what she did. It takes a special kind of evil
(01:56):
to do bad things and then later say you feels
so bad for the victims of what you do. Houston
Black pastors challenge martyr narrative after Charlie Kirk's killing. That's
not all Houston Black pastors. That was just a few
of them, but they felt the need to say awful
(02:19):
things about Charlie Kirk after churches were honoring him on Sunday.
And part of that is that some black elected officials, pastors,
media members feel the need to always be in the spotlight.
And there can be no one else who can suffer
and no one else who can be a martyr because
(02:41):
this is my territory and I get that this is
my high ground. You can't suffer, you can't wail, you
can't grieve, your own, to which I say, listen, you hustler,
just sit quiet. You'll have your turn next week, and
someone out of complete guilt over something they didn't do. You,
who've suffered nothing but getting to cut to the front
(03:02):
of the line because of your race, will continue to
collect all the money and accolades that you have made
a career of on the basis of something that never
happened to you by people who never did anything to anyone.
Just hold on for a week. Let somebody else have
a turn into water fountain, shall we. Biden's FBI investigated
(03:26):
Charlie Kirk's turning Point USA and other conservative groups. Unsurprising
liberal professor says that Charlie Kirk's kids are better off
without him after his assassination. A wacky Democrat finally admits
that men and women have physiological differences. That's the crazy
(03:48):
Mazy Hurano story. That it's unfair for the FBI to
require women to pass the same physical test that men
have to pass because we all know that women don't
have as much strength as men. Oh well, then maybe
men shouldn't be on the same field with women performing
in sports, right, But consistency's never been the strong point
(04:10):
of this clan has it. FBI director and Democrat Senator
clash over harsh fitness standards of one pull up just one.
ABC correspondent gushes over Kirk Assassin's text messages to trans boyfriend.
I think that was kind of soft porn to that
(04:30):
old boy who read that on the air. He got
really really into the harlequin romance of the dude with
the other dude who wants to be a girl, and
the dude treating the other dude who wants to be
a girl as if he was some delicate flower that
he was carefully and lovingly tenderly caressing. He got really
(04:52):
into that form of litt It was odd. I think
he he might have needed a minute after his report
for a cigarette. Muslim mayor tells Christian resident, you are
not welcome here at city council meeting. That, of course
would be dearborn Michigan or Islamabad. You pick big city
(05:15):
fire chief on leave after incendiary post mocking Charlie Kirk's
death a little double on turnder as disgusting as it is.
Student expelled after acting out Charlie Kirk's assassination at Texas
State vigil. Dearborn Muslim mayor unleashes on Christian resident at
(05:36):
city meeting. More of my Tropics articles. I saved these
articles to get to later, and obviously I didn't get
to Texas Education Agency reviewing one hundred and eighty complaints
against Texas teachers for Charlie Kirk posts, Hey, why don't
you people sit down and shut up at this moment
when people are grieving? Is that's just not an option
(05:56):
for you? I was ambition with Michael as Young and
Mbiss and I love women. Hey, you cannot know man
for loving women. My research director, Sandy Peterson sent me
a message and read in the George of Andy is
an amazing, amazing combination of a person of letters. She's
(06:22):
read widely in the humanities, but also in science fiction
non fiction. She's traveled widely. She's a very proud Auburn Tiger.
She is an engineer by training and by mindset. And
she's one of these women who can think like a
(06:43):
woman if she needs to, but thinks much more right
brain manly, very rational, and she is a student of everything.
She reads constantly. She married a psychiatrist a few years ago,
and it's fun to hear her perspectives because he's now
(07:04):
he's kind of rounding out her education because that was
a component of her life. I don't know how she
is fifties. Maybe that she'd never experienced, you know, that
that part of you know, maybe amateur psychiatry like the
rest of us. But she wrote something to me this
morning early that I thought was quite interesting. I thought
(07:25):
to share it with you, she said. In the aftermath
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I decided to spend
some time just watching his prove me wrong sessions. I've
come away deeply impressed with how he engaged with his audience.
He was so deft in reframing, in reframing the sheer
(07:47):
hostility from some questioner. He knew how to use humor
like a surgeon with a scalpel, and his compassion it
just kept coming through. Given all that, I can understand
why the youth flocked to him in his message. I
saw something this morning that the youth are going to
(08:07):
church in greater numbers than their parents and grandparents. This
is a good thing, you know. I've read several times
of studies that are being done on young people today
that young people today are far more conservative than the
(08:29):
last three generations, that they're more traditional than the last
three generations. They are seeking out marriage and family. This
is upsetting to the Hillary Clintons and the Camille paulaz
and the angry, ugly old white lady lesbian liberals, the
(08:52):
very very bitter, bitter white lady liberals. They're angry, they're old,
they're ugly in spirit and physically, and they're mad at everyone.
And somehow what they perceived is idealism was actually authoritarianism,
(09:15):
and people didn't like it. Men didn't like it in
personal relationships with them, businesses didn't like it. Their colleagues
didn't like it. So they spent their whole lives angry
that people weren't appreciating what they viewed as their idealism.
But in fact it was niniism was it was busy bodyism.
(09:40):
And what happened was those women, some of them didn't marry.
Those who did ended up in a Bill Clinton Hillary
Clinton loveless relationship because it's hard to love a woman
like that. It's hard, it's hard to be around a
woman like that. They were angry about everything all the time,
(10:02):
and that's why so many of them end up alone,
and so they gather together. They gather together, and they
get drunk all afternoon and they talk about how much
they hate the men. And that's all they really have
to talk about, is how bad things are, how bad
(10:24):
families are, how bad men are, how bad conservatives are,
how bad patriot is. And it's all based on this
self loathing because they've had to come to the conclusion
that they were wrong. They got it all wrong. They
got it all wrong, and they know it and everyone
knows it. And they've been rejected and humiliated, and they
(10:48):
were always jealous of men who they feel things were
easier for, and so they have a huge chip on
their shoulder. And they see a guy like Trump and
they say he's happy. He's always had pretty women around him,
he's had all this money, he gets all this celebrity
(11:10):
and fame, and everybody wants to be around him, including
other women. And here's ugly white liberal woman, and she's
not happy and nothing brings her joy. She doesn't love
to go to a ballgame, she can't go out with
the boys on a hunting trip or a fishing trip.
(11:32):
She doesn't have relationships with her children, her children's a
relationship with her children is dysfunctional, and her kids are
in a state of dysphoria, confusion, anxiety, broken relationships themselves,
or many of these women. The kids went off to
(11:53):
live with dad, and they have rejected their angry, bitter
mom and they have gravitated to very traditional value families
and lives, lives that are far more conventional than that
woman wanted to tear down. Lives that are dare I
(12:15):
say it normal? They've become normies, and they revel in
that they don't need to be angry over global warming
or Ukraine or something going on five states away they
don't or five nations or five continents away. They don't
(12:37):
need to be subscribing to magazines of Mother Jones and
World Wildlife and Greta Thunborn and going to speeches and
being angry. They can find happiness and fulfillment within the
own four walls of their family and their children, and
real love that is sustainable and that drives that oldsdays
(13:00):
a little woman crazy. Michael Berry Houston has a meth live.
It's important to understand because if you go into a
situation knowing it's gonna happen, you can be prepared for it.
If you're going through life and you're genuinely happy. You
(13:23):
get up and go to work. You get up in
the bed that's shared by your wife, and you go
to work. Maybe you have some what's for breakfast moment?
Fried eggs, three fried eggs, Jimmy Dean sausage twelve hours old.
(13:46):
You know you got four hundred pounds of men, Save money,
Save money. I'm well, eat some little accountant trying to.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Threndy eight one seven. I don't know where you people
come from. I don't know if you test your products,
your quantity of your product. Your product's are very delicious,
love your sausage for thirty something years, but I can't
take and feed a family of five on a little
twelve ounce roll of sausage. I don't mind paying you
more money for you sixteen ounce roll of sausage, but
(14:22):
you don't have it anymore. You've got a twelve ounce roll,
and you've got three men that way over two hundred
pounds a piece, a woman that's a little plump Scotch girl,
and a daughter who's thirteen, and you're gonna try to
take a twelve ounce roll of sausage and a couple
of dozen eggs and feed that it ain't gonna work,
and I'm not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again.
(14:45):
And as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man, Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with the breakfast, with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks. And I can't see going to
a little twelve ounce package to feed four or five
six people. And I'm not going to buy two of
(15:08):
those twelve ounce packages just because you want to downsize
and charge the same price. I'd sure like a reply,
and i'd sure like you to go back to your
sixteen ounce package on your regular sausage because I'm not
going to buy it otherwise ever, Rigain, I'll just have
my own tasks made like I used to thirty something
years ago. It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work,
(15:31):
thank you. Eight one seven, goodbye. A little twelve ounce
roll of sausage supposed to feed your brother and me
and you six hundred pounds of men. At least get
my point and the two girls and they put it
in that roll of sausage. Somebody needs to some little
consumer geek Alloyd save money, Yes, save money, save money.
(15:54):
I'm going to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
When he says, some little consumer garzoid he's got in
his mind. Somebody that looks like Michael Douglas and falling down,
short sleeve dress, shirt buttoned up all the way to
the Adam's apple horn, rim glasses. Some Delbert Dilbert looking
(16:21):
dude that just punches the keys in and doesn't care
about anything, has no passions in life, just a little nerve,
just trying to find a dollar he can save here
and there. I took notes for the first time ever
listening to that about all the things I love about it.
First of all, he's calling to complain, but he first
(16:42):
says grudgingly, I like your products. It's very delicious. I'm
mad at you right now, but your product is very delicious, because,
let's be honest, Otherwise I wouldn't be calling right if
I couldn't get enough of a product and it wasn't
any good, I'd complain about the quality. I like the
fact that he uses a word I can't take and
feed a family of five. I can't take and feed
(17:05):
a family of five it's a great turnarphrase there, very southern.
Then he's describing how fat they all are. And then
he's got a daughter who's thirteen, so out of respect
for her, he didn't tell how big a girl she was.
He just gave her age. I like that. And then
I liked the fact that he said, I'm not going
to purchase it anymore or ever again. That's a repetition there,
(17:28):
but he had a flow a pacing to what he
was doing. I'm not going to purchase it anymore ever again,
which is repeating what he just said. But he'd kind
of run out of things and he had to finish
the flow. I like the fact that he refers to
as what Southern people leave. I like that. And then
he said something that I've never noticed. But because I've
(17:49):
been so focused on his turn of phrase and the
words he uses and how he streams them together and
how he paces them and all of that, I never
noticed there were t bone steaks involved in his breakfast,
did you? I never noticed that he's describing the breakfast
and there's tea bone steaks as well as the sausage.
(18:09):
You never noticed it. Fast forward, I'll tell you exactly
where it is I've heard this clip one hundred times.
I never noticed.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Love your sausage, for I don't mind paying you more
money for you sixteen ounce. And you got three men
that way over two hundred pounds, plump Scott's girl and
a daughter who's thirteen, And you're going to try to
take a twelve ounce l of sausage and a couple
of dozen eggs and feed that it ain't gonna work.
And I'm not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again.
(18:39):
And as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with the breakfast, with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And I can't the breakfast and their fried eggs and
their tea bone steak. And then I liked it. Later
he comes back to ever again he uses that phrase
which he'd used early, and then finally there toward the end,
he said he does the takeaway so that you believe him,
because you don't believe that he'll stop buying your sausage.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You don't believe it, because that's the best sausage on
the market. He knows that you know it, and the
American people know it. So you don't believe he can
get away with not buying your sausage, because he'll have
to buy your sausage because not buy the competitor. And
he said, I'll just make my own, right, So you
need to understand you got one shot left. That's saving
this customer. You're going to change your ways to save
(19:37):
and keep this customer. I'll make my own. But even
in the I'm making my own, he says it won't.
It's not as tasty as yours. So even in the
midst of that, he confesses, I'll make my own if
you don't put these back, go back sixteen ounces in
twelve ounces. I don't want to buy two twelves for
(20:00):
twenty four. You charge me for sixteen, and you downsize
it to twelve like it's bide inflation. I don't want
to do all that. I want you go back to
sixteen and charge the same and if you don't, I'll
make my own. Now it's not as tasty as yours.
I love that. It's like he can't bring himself to lie,
I will confess that I will make my own. It
(20:22):
won't be as good as yours. You have to recognize
that in your getting up, going to work, doing your job,
having a good time, watching a football game, having a beer,
eating a steak, there are people who every aspect of
your life is a trigger for them. They don't want
you to have steak, you should have to go vegetarian.
(20:43):
They don't want you to drive your truck, you should
have to drive electric. They don't want you to shoot
your gun, you should be disarmed. Do you understand that
these people have declared war on you because their own miserable, sad,
fat ass, vapid lives your life? You ever tell somebody, hey,
worry about yourself, don't worry about some of that's them
(21:06):
that certain songs play at certain times as markers, and
whether you realize it or not, your brain, just like
have loov and the Dog, your brain associates the stimulus
and response. It becomes a trigger. And so when you
hear that song, if you've listened to the show very long,
(21:30):
whatever emotion, if any, you feel at the end of
the show, especially if you're a listener, a live listener
for the week. You know that this is our last
segment together, and this is always for us kind of
a bittersweet time because while this means we get a
little weekend break, the honest truth is we don't see
this as a job. This is our ministry. This is
(21:53):
our fun, This is our going to the ballpark. We
get to play baseball. We get to you know, professional
baseball players get to do what every kid wanted to
do and they get to do it right. And that's
pretty awesome. So that I don't forget before we part
for the week, go find a church, Go visit one,
(22:14):
go visit several, Go visit a friend. Crack your bible.
You don't have to be a you don't have to
be in seminary. You don't have to be an expert.
Crack your bible, Call a friend and pray with him.
Tell somebody you love them, Tell your family member you
love them. Take time and live life because we're not
promised tomorrow. All right, let's get to it. In case
(22:35):
I did that, In case I forgot, the guys send
me an email and I can't find his original email.
Oh he said, what was that opening? I woke up
to a beer. Bert Reynolds five other clips. Don't try
too hard, guys. I get exhausted by everyone wanting to
be the producer of the show. It's fine to have
(22:56):
your own opinion, but you can have an opinion without
needing to express every opinion. Hey, I've loved the show
for the last three weeks, but today, you know the
five hour I listened all five hours day. I love
the show. It's the best show ever. It's wonderful. I
appreciate everything to do. I don't pay anything for it.
It's great, it's wonderful. Everything's my favorite show, best show ever.
This is how emails will go. You'd be surprised. It's
best showever. I love it. I never wanted to change.
(23:18):
I love every minute of it. I love how relaxed
you are, how you entertain us, how you engage us,
you raise money for camp Hoe. I love everything about it.
But today at ten forty one, for three seconds there
was a pause for a second, and I think maybe
you were taking a sip of water, and for that
three seconds you weren't talking, and you just kind of
go This is why I shouldn't read my emails, because
(23:40):
you don't you know what you ought to do at
a moment like that is go dumb ass, block move on,
which I do. But I can't help but think what's
going on in your life that you felt the need? Hey,
I was a three second pause there for a second.
Let me get my computer fired up here and send
an email. Lock would what would possess some to need
(24:00):
to do that? Why can't that thought just go where
the others go and move on? Can't do it? Soway.
This guy sends an email he doesn't like the opening montage.
I love the opening montages. So I kind of hammered
him a little and he comes back, but he explained
(24:21):
this need to rank things, and I thought it was
pretty good and it got me to thinking, he said,
just trying to help. Here's why it does matter. Why
people want to rate the loss of Charlie Kirk. Perhaps
people feel violated by an act of evil and so
we're grappling with it. It could be that somehow Charlie
(24:43):
Kirk being cut down violently in his prime makes it
feel more significant. I don't know. Point is MB Maybe
people are trying to get a grasp on this event.
So saying that it's a competition and it shouldn't be
a competition and it doesn't matter. Well, sometimes people might
miss stake what they're asking you for. Maybe they're not
(25:03):
actually asking you to rate it by comparison. Maybe they're saying,
why does this feel more significant to me? Maybe part
of this is that the people who are feeling this differently,
maybe they're in a different place, maybe they feel closer
to this. That is very very perceptive point. We all
(25:28):
react to things based on our own filter. I don't
like the idea of ranking how important deaths are, so
maybe in my rush to avoid that, I missed the
(25:50):
forest for the trees, and I missed what's important, which
is right here right now. A lot of people who
may not have ever felt this way about someone they
(26:12):
didn't personally know, but who they admired for their ministry,
for their work, or their activism. Maybe they've never felt drawn, pulled, tugged,
sucked into this very powerful feeling and they don't know
(26:36):
where to put it. They've never had this. I don't
know why. So maybe if it's the most important assassination
in the history of mankind, then okay, of course that's
what's happening, Because if it's not, why am I feeling this?
I didn't think about that very interesting point. What I
(26:59):
do know is it in more people than usual are
reaching out about something that is affecting them and they're
feeling it personally. People telling me they're going home and
praying as a family before they have dinner. People are
(27:21):
telling me they're praying with their children when they put
them to bed. They're praying with their children in the morning.
People are going to church that haven't been or haven't
been in a while. People are the guys at Republic
Book Company when we were sitting out back the other day,
(27:44):
they had been talking for a year about doing a
Bible study and they couldn't coordinate the schedule. So Fireball
Bill said, all right, the schedule is getting in the
way of what's important. If you can't make it, one week,
you don't come, or one day they're going to start
it daily. But tomorrow morning we're starting our Bible study
(28:05):
at eight third in the morning, before the door's open.
If you want to get here early, we're going to
do Bible study together. And if you don't make it
that day because something came up or you have to
drop your kid off, then you just miss it. But
that's what we're going to do We put it off
long enough, we're going to do it. And so I
always try to find some reason to smile in the
(28:29):
face of grief and sadness and tragedy. And I understand
that is off putting to some people because in some
way that denigrates, diminishes the importance of the person who died,
or the importance of the moment, or the sadness of
the moment. No, that's just how I personally, not only
(28:50):
grieve but cope that that's how I get through And
you don't have to just understand mine is different than yours.
And I find that to be a very useful way
to go through life. And I've always done that. And
oh yeah, so thank you to email or Matt pointing
(29:14):
out something to me that was rapped before my eyes
and maybe I was too hard headed or hard hearted
to see. Oh yeah, this kind of a humbling experience. Yeah.
So if you're feeling confused or anxious or angry or
whatever else, that's cool. That's cool. That's okay. We're gonna
(29:37):
get through this. We're going to be better for it.
We are, and that's the greatest tribute we can pay.
Good thank you and good night,
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and Load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
I can feel a good one coming on. It's the
(00:24):
Michael Berry Show. Them of the headlines for the week
were going to get to be Land. Let's see things
we didn't get to. Tropics staying active, ts Gabriel no
threat to at least the Gulf Coast. Another tropical wave
off the coast of Africa. Our trafficking, weather and news
(00:49):
departments will send me updates on news stories, and like
some of you, I'm just I'm just interested in it
for no other reason, even if it's never going to
hit me, just because I find this sort of stuff
is interesting. The county judge in Harris County announced this

she was the last one to figure that out because
(01:10):
she couldn't win. She's so unpopular. She's extraordinarily mentally unstable,
so much so that she's been in and out of

judge is like the county mayor, and that person is
in charge of homeland security and disaster preparedness, and so
it makes it an awkward moment when she just goes
(01:31):
missing for months at a time. She was a big
fan of the lockdowns during COVID, and so she was
asked this week if she had any regrets, and she said, well,
I hate during the COVID nineteen pandemic that the kids
were locked out of school for so long, but that's
what she did. It takes a special kind of evil
(01:56):
to do bad things and then later say you feels

Black pastors challenge martyr narrative after Charlie Kirk's killing. That's
not all Houston Black pastors. That was just a few
of them, but they felt the need to say awful
(02:19):
things about Charlie Kirk after churches were honoring him on Sunday.
And part of that is that some black elected officials, pastors,
media members feel the need to always be in the spotlight.
And there can be no one else who can suffer

(02:41):
this is my territory and I get that this is
my high ground. You can't suffer, you can't wail, you
can't grieve, your own, to which I say, listen, you hustler,
just sit quiet. You'll have your turn next week, and
someone out of complete guilt over something they didn't do. You,
who've suffered nothing but getting to cut to the front
(03:02):
of the line because of your race, will continue to
collect all the money and accolades that you have made
a career of on the basis of something that never
happened to you by people who never did anything to anyone.
Just hold on for a week. Let somebody else have
a turn into water fountain, shall we. Biden's FBI investigated
(03:26):
Charlie Kirk's turning Point USA and other conservative groups. Unsurprising
liberal professor says that Charlie Kirk's kids are better off
without him after his assassination. A wacky Democrat finally admits
that men and women have physiological differences. That's the crazy
(03:48):

require women to pass the same physical test that men
have to pass because we all know that women don't

I think that was kind of soft porn to that

really really into the harlequin romance of the dude with
the other dude who wants to be a girl, and
the dude treating the other dude who wants to be
a girl as if he was some delicate flower that
he was carefully and lovingly tenderly caressing. He got really

to Texas Education Agency reviewing one hundred and eighty complaints
against Texas teachers for Charlie Kirk posts, Hey, why don't
you people sit down and shut up at this moment
when people are grieving? Is that's just not an option
(05:56):
for you? I was ambition with Michael as Young and
Mbiss and I love women. Hey, you cannot know man
for loving women. My research director, Sandy Peterson sent me
a message and read in the George of Andy is
an amazing, amazing combination of a person of letters. She's
(06:22):
read widely in the humanities, but also in science fiction
non fiction. She's traveled widely. She's a very proud Auburn Tiger.
She is an engineer by training and by mindset. And
she's one of these women who can think like a
(06:43):
woman if she needs to, but thinks much more right
brain manly, very rational, and she is a student of everything.
She reads constantly. She married a psychiatrist a few years ago,
and it's fun to hear her perspectives because he's now
(07:04):
he's kind of rounding out her education because that was
a component of her life. I don't know how she
is fifties. Maybe that she'd never experienced, you know, that
that part of you know, maybe amateur psychiatry like the
rest of us. But she wrote something to me this
morning early that I thought was quite interesting. I thought
(07:25):
to share it with you, she said. In the aftermath
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I decided to spend
some time just watching his prove me wrong sessions. I've
come away deeply impressed with how he engaged with his audience.
He was so deft in reframing, in reframing the sheer
(07:47):
hostility from some questioner. He knew how to use humor
like a surgeon with a scalpel, and his compassion it
just kept coming through. Given all that, I can understand
why the youth flocked to him in his message. I
saw something this morning that the youth are going to
(08:07):
church in greater numbers than their parents and grandparents. This
is a good thing, you know. I've read several times
of studies that are being done on young people today
that young people today are far more conservative than the
(08:29):
last three generations, that they're more traditional than the last
three generations. They are seeking out marriage and family. This
is upsetting to the Hillary Clintons and the Camille paulaz
and the angry, ugly old white lady lesbian liberals, the
(08:52):
very very bitter, bitter white lady liberals. They're angry, they're old,
they're ugly in spirit and physically, and they're mad at everyone.
And somehow what they perceived is idealism was actually authoritarianism,
(09:15):
and people didn't like it. Men didn't like it in
personal relationships with them, businesses didn't like it. Their colleagues
didn't like it. So they spent their whole lives angry
that people weren't appreciating what they viewed as their idealism.
But in fact it was niniism was it was busy bodyism.
(09:40):
And what happened was those women, some of them didn't marry.
Those who did ended up in a Bill Clinton Hillary
Clinton loveless relationship because it's hard to love a woman
like that. It's hard, it's hard to be around a
woman like that. They were angry about everything all the time,
(10:02):
and that's why so many of them end up alone,
and so they gather together. They gather together, and they
get drunk all afternoon and they talk about how much
they hate the men. And that's all they really have
to talk about, is how bad things are, how bad
(10:24):
families are, how bad men are, how bad conservatives are,
how bad patriot is. And it's all based on this
self loathing because they've had to come to the conclusion
that they were wrong. They got it all wrong. They
got it all wrong, and they know it and everyone
knows it. And they've been rejected and humiliated, and they
(10:48):
were always jealous of men who they feel things were
easier for, and so they have a huge chip on
their shoulder. And they see a guy like Trump and
they say he's happy. He's always had pretty women around him,
he's had all this money, he gets all this celebrity
(11:10):
and fame, and everybody wants to be around him, including
other women. And here's ugly white liberal woman, and she's
not happy and nothing brings her joy. She doesn't love
to go to a ballgame, she can't go out with
the boys on a hunting trip or a fishing trip.
(11:32):
She doesn't have relationships with her children, her children's a
relationship with her children is dysfunctional, and her kids are
in a state of dysphoria, confusion, anxiety, broken relationships themselves,
or many of these women. The kids went off to
(11:53):
live with dad, and they have rejected their angry, bitter
mom and they have gravitated to very traditional value families
and lives, lives that are far more conventional than that
woman wanted to tear down. Lives that are dare I
(12:15):
say it normal? They've become normies, and they revel in
that they don't need to be angry over global warming
or Ukraine or something going on five states away they
don't or five nations or five continents away. They don't
(12:37):
need to be subscribing to magazines of Mother Jones and
World Wildlife and Greta Thunborn and going to speeches and
being angry. They can find happiness and fulfillment within the
own four walls of their family and their children, and
real love that is sustainable and that drives that oldsdays
(13:00):
a little woman crazy. Michael Berry Houston has a meth live.
It's important to understand because if you go into a
situation knowing it's gonna happen, you can be prepared for it.
If you're going through life and you're genuinely happy. You
(13:23):
get up and go to work. You get up in
the bed that's shared by your wife, and you go
to work. Maybe you have some what's for breakfast moment?
Fried eggs, three fried eggs, Jimmy Dean sausage twelve hours old.
(13:46):
You know you got four hundred pounds of men, Save money,
Save money. I'm well, eat some little accountant trying to.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Threndy eight one seven. I don't know where you people
come from. I don't know if you test your products,
your quantity of your product. Your product's are very delicious,
love your sausage for thirty something years, but I can't
take and feed a family of five on a little
twelve ounce roll of sausage. I don't mind paying you
more money for you sixteen ounce roll of sausage, but
(14:22):
you don't have it anymore. You've got a twelve ounce roll,
and you've got three men that way over two hundred
pounds a piece, a woman that's a little plump Scotch girl,
and a daughter who's thirteen, and you're gonna try to
take a twelve ounce roll of sausage and a couple
of dozen eggs and feed that it ain't gonna work,
and I'm not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again.
(14:45):
And as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man, Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with the breakfast, with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks. And I can't see going to
a little twelve ounce package to feed four or five
six people. And I'm not going to buy two of
(15:08):
those twelve ounce packages just because you want to downsize
and charge the same price. I'd sure like a reply,
and i'd sure like you to go back to your
sixteen ounce package on your regular sausage because I'm not
going to buy it otherwise ever, Rigain, I'll just have
my own tasks made like I used to thirty something
years ago. It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work,
(15:31):
thank you. Eight one seven, goodbye. A little twelve ounce
roll of sausage supposed to feed your brother and me
and you six hundred pounds of men. At least get
my point and the two girls and they put it
in that roll of sausage. Somebody needs to some little
consumer geek Alloyd save money, Yes, save money, save money.
(15:54):
I'm going to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
When he says, some little consumer garzoid he's got in
his mind. Somebody that looks like Michael Douglas and falling down,
short sleeve dress, shirt buttoned up all the way to
the Adam's apple horn, rim glasses. Some Delbert Dilbert looking
(16:21):
dude that just punches the keys in and doesn't care
about anything, has no passions in life, just a little nerve,
just trying to find a dollar he can save here
and there. I took notes for the first time ever
listening to that about all the things I love about it.
First of all, he's calling to complain, but he first
(16:42):
says grudgingly, I like your products. It's very delicious. I'm
mad at you right now, but your product is very delicious, because,
let's be honest, Otherwise I wouldn't be calling right if
I couldn't get enough of a product and it wasn't
any good, I'd complain about the quality. I like the
fact that he uses a word I can't take and
feed a family of five. I can't take and feed
(17:05):
a family of five it's a great turnarphrase there, very southern.
Then he's describing how fat they all are. And then
he's got a daughter who's thirteen, so out of respect
for her, he didn't tell how big a girl she was.
He just gave her age. I like that. And then
I liked the fact that he said, I'm not going
to purchase it anymore or ever again. That's a repetition there,
(17:28):
but he had a flow a pacing to what he
was doing. I'm not going to purchase it anymore ever again,
which is repeating what he just said. But he'd kind
of run out of things and he had to finish
the flow. I like the fact that he refers to
as what Southern people leave. I like that. And then
he said something that I've never noticed. But because I've
(17:49):
been so focused on his turn of phrase and the
words he uses and how he streams them together and
how he paces them and all of that, I never
noticed there were t bone steaks involved in his breakfast,
did you? I never noticed that he's describing the breakfast
and there's tea bone steaks as well as the sausage.
(18:09):
You never noticed it. Fast forward, I'll tell you exactly
where it is I've heard this clip one hundred times.
I never noticed.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Love your sausage, for I don't mind paying you more
money for you sixteen ounce. And you got three men
that way over two hundred pounds, plump Scott's girl and
a daughter who's thirteen, And you're going to try to
take a twelve ounce l of sausage and a couple
of dozen eggs and feed that it ain't gonna work.
And I'm not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again.
(18:39):
And as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with the breakfast, with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And I can't the breakfast and their fried eggs and
their tea bone steak. And then I liked it. Later
he comes back to ever again he uses that phrase
which he'd used early, and then finally there toward the end,
he said he does the takeaway so that you believe him,
because you don't believe that he'll stop buying your sausage.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You don't believe it, because that's the best sausage on
the market. He knows that you know it, and the
American people know it. So you don't believe he can
get away with not buying your sausage, because he'll have
to buy your sausage because not buy the competitor. And
he said, I'll just make my own, right, So you
need to understand you got one shot left. That's saving
this customer. You're going to change your ways to save
(19:37):
and keep this customer. I'll make my own. But even
in the I'm making my own, he says it won't.
It's not as tasty as yours. So even in the
midst of that, he confesses, I'll make my own if
you don't put these back, go back sixteen ounces in
twelve ounces. I don't want to buy two twelves for
(20:00):
twenty four. You charge me for sixteen, and you downsize
it to twelve like it's bide inflation. I don't want
to do all that. I want you go back to
sixteen and charge the same and if you don't, I'll
make my own. Now it's not as tasty as yours.
I love that. It's like he can't bring himself to lie,
I will confess that I will make my own. It
(20:22):
won't be as good as yours. You have to recognize
that in your getting up, going to work, doing your job,
having a good time, watching a football game, having a beer,
eating a steak, there are people who every aspect of
your life is a trigger for them. They don't want
you to have steak, you should have to go vegetarian.
(20:43):
They don't want you to drive your truck, you should
have to drive electric. They don't want you to shoot
your gun, you should be disarmed. Do you understand that
these people have declared war on you because their own miserable, sad,
fat ass, vapid lives your life? You ever tell somebody, hey,
worry about yourself, don't worry about some of that's them
(21:06):
that certain songs play at certain times as markers, and
whether you realize it or not, your brain, just like
have loov and the Dog, your brain associates the stimulus
and response. It becomes a trigger. And so when you
hear that song, if you've listened to the show very long,
(21:30):
whatever emotion, if any, you feel at the end of
the show, especially if you're a listener, a live listener
for the week. You know that this is our last
segment together, and this is always for us kind of
a bittersweet time because while this means we get a
little weekend break, the honest truth is we don't see
this as a job. This is our ministry. This is
(21:53):
our fun, This is our going to the ballpark. We
get to play baseball. We get to you know, professional
baseball players get to do what every kid wanted to
do and they get to do it right. And that's
pretty awesome. So that I don't forget before we part
for the week, go find a church, Go visit one,
(22:14):
go visit several, Go visit a friend. Crack your bible.
You don't have to be a you don't have to
be in seminary. You don't have to be an expert.
Crack your bible, Call a friend and pray with him.
Tell somebody you love them, Tell your family member you
love them. Take time and live life because we're not
promised tomorrow. All right, let's get to it. In case
(22:35):
I did that, In case I forgot, the guys send
me an email and I can't find his original email.
Oh he said, what was that opening? I woke up
to a beer. Bert Reynolds five other clips. Don't try
too hard, guys. I get exhausted by everyone wanting to
be the producer of the show. It's fine to have
(22:56):
your own opinion, but you can have an opinion without
needing to express every opinion. Hey, I've loved the show
for the last three weeks, but today, you know the
five hour I listened all five hours day. I love
the show. It's the best show ever. It's wonderful. I
appreciate everything to do. I don't pay anything for it.
It's great, it's wonderful. Everything's my favorite show, best show ever.
This is how emails will go. You'd be surprised. It's
best showever. I love it. I never wanted to change.
(23:18):
I love every minute of it. I love how relaxed
you are, how you entertain us, how you engage us,
you raise money for camp Hoe. I love everything about it.
But today at ten forty one, for three seconds there
was a pause for a second, and I think maybe
you were taking a sip of water, and for that
three seconds you weren't talking, and you just kind of
go This is why I shouldn't read my emails, because
(23:40):
you don't you know what you ought to do at
a moment like that is go dumb ass, block move on,
which I do. But I can't help but think what's
going on in your life that you felt the need? Hey,
I was a three second pause there for a second.
Let me get my computer fired up here and send
an email. Lock would what would possess some to need
(24:00):
to do that? Why can't that thought just go where
the others go and move on? Can't do it? Soway.
This guy sends an email he doesn't like the opening montage.
I love the opening montages. So I kind of hammered
him a little and he comes back, but he explained
(24:21):
this need to rank things, and I thought it was
pretty good and it got me to thinking, he said,
just trying to help. Here's why it does matter. Why
people want to rate the loss of Charlie Kirk. Perhaps
people feel violated by an act of evil and so
we're grappling with it. It could be that somehow Charlie
(24:43):
Kirk being cut down violently in his prime makes it
feel more significant. I don't know. Point is MB Maybe
people are trying to get a grasp on this event.
So saying that it's a competition and it shouldn't be
a competition and it doesn't matter. Well, sometimes people might
miss stake what they're asking you for. Maybe they're not
(25:03):
actually asking you to rate it by comparison. Maybe they're saying,
why does this feel more significant to me? Maybe part
of this is that the people who are feeling this differently,
maybe they're in a different place, maybe they feel closer
to this. That is very very perceptive point. We all
(25:28):
react to things based on our own filter. I don't
like the idea of ranking how important deaths are, so
maybe in my rush to avoid that, I missed the
(25:50):
forest for the trees, and I missed what's important, which
is right here right now. A lot of people who
may not have ever felt this way about someone they
(26:12):
didn't personally know, but who they admired for their ministry,
for their work, or their activism. Maybe they've never felt drawn, pulled, tugged,
sucked into this very powerful feeling and they don't know
(26:36):
where to put it. They've never had this. I don't
know why. So maybe if it's the most important assassination
in the history of mankind, then okay, of course that's
what's happening, Because if it's not, why am I feeling this?
I didn't think about that very interesting point. What I
(26:59):
do know is it in more people than usual are
reaching out about something that is affecting them and they're
feeling it personally. People telling me they're going home and
praying as a family before they have dinner. People are
(27:21):
telling me they're praying with their children when they put
them to bed. They're praying with their children in the morning.
People are going to church that haven't been or haven't
been in a while. People are the guys at Republic
Book Company when we were sitting out back the other day,
(27:44):
they had been talking for a year about doing a
Bible study and they couldn't coordinate the schedule. So Fireball
Bill said, all right, the schedule is getting in the
way of what's important. If you can't make it, one week,
you don't come, or one day they're going to start
it daily. But tomorrow morning we're starting our Bible study
(28:05):
at eight third in the morning, before the door's open.
If you want to get here early, we're going to
do Bible study together. And if you don't make it
that day because something came up or you have to
drop your kid off, then you just miss it. But
that's what we're going to do We put it off
long enough, we're going to do it. And so I
always try to find some reason to smile in the
(28:29):
face of grief and sadness and tragedy. And I understand
that is off putting to some people because in some
way that denigrates, diminishes the importance of the person who died,
or the importance of the moment, or the sadness of
the moment. No, that's just how I personally, not only
(28:50):
grieve but cope that that's how I get through And
you don't have to just understand mine is different than yours.
And I find that to be a very useful way
to go through life. And I've always done that. And
oh yeah, so thank you to email or Matt pointing
(29:14):
out something to me that was rapped before my eyes
and maybe I was too hard headed or hard hearted
to see. Oh yeah, this kind of a humbling experience. Yeah.
So if you're feeling confused or anxious or angry or
whatever else, that's cool. That's cool. That's okay. We're gonna
(29:37):
get through this. We're going to be better for it.
We are, and that's the greatest tribute we can pay.
Good thank you and good night,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
