Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air. So I want
to know you think Robert F. Kennedy Junior is the
best man to be leading public health. No, no, no,
answer the question. My decision. You're supporting the decision. You're supporting,
(00:27):
support his decision. You just called him a humble qualified minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So you think he's the best person to read public house.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think, of course, I'm no happy. Look at me.
I'm a big fat slab. I've got more sins in
that sadies fun pick. I've not seen my William two years,
which is long enough to decline legally. Did I can't
stop eating?
Speaker 3 (00:51):

Please do not call him the fat pig. That's very distressed.
Don't call him. See I'm trying to be nice. Don't
call him a fat pig. You can't do you can't.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Do that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So now because you're not allowed to do that, and
therefore we're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Okay, we want to be very civil. Right, we're going again.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I gotta take their work become.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Shall know them, know him the way I'm a shadow
way the forty you bound them? And tell you once again,
who's said.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The exulted one. Chris Christy would like to answer your question.
Donald Trump calls me hurtful names like Krispy Kreme Christy
or the outlaw Jersey Whale. He also said that my
size makes me handy, capable, handy, capable of bankrupting the
(02:51):
golden crop.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Because shall know them wif Chris Christy wanted to criticize
one person and claim they are unfit for duty, choosing
(03:13):
Robert F. Kennedy for Health and Juan Services that's up
there with closing down the bridge on the way to
New York not a good decision, or the fourteenth Twinkie
of the night not a good decision. Chris State Representative
(03:35):
Brian Harrison posted a video showing a professor at Texas
A and M University ordering a student to leave class
supposed to be an educational environment. The teacher, the professor
has lost their way leave class because she raised religious
(03:57):
and legal concerns about exposing children to transgenderism. The President
Texas A and M Mark Walsh the Third directed his
provost to remove a dean and a department head from
their administrative positions due to the video. So the video
(04:21):
allowed what happened to be exposed. So for all of
you who said, yes, yes, we want to take away
the phones out of the schools in Texas, and the
legislature did because the kids are on their phone during
instructional time. They're on their phone during educational time, and
(04:44):
we just generally don't like to see kids on their
phone all the time. It's irritating. It's one of those
things that if we're asked or kids on their phone
too much, we all so, yes, they're on their phone.
Too much. We don't like it. Everybody's on their phone
all the time. If you if you're in a public place,
(05:05):
you're walking and someone wanders into your your lane because
they're on the phone. As is on my phone. People
are driving, they're on their phone. You watch them at
dinner at the table next to you. They're not talking
to each other, they're on their phone. So there's just
generally just an unpleasant feeling about people being on their phones. Okay,
(05:32):
so when a measure comes up, Hey, let's make it
so you can't be on your phone if you own
a business that makes over one hundred million dollars. Oh,
I hate rich people and on their phone people. Yes,
you can't be on your phone if you make over
one hundred million dollars. So we end up with things
(05:53):
happening for the best of intentions that you could see
coming that turn out to be worse than the problem
they solved. At my kids' school, I was interested a
couple of years ago when you do the parent teacher
(06:13):
night where you get to go and you go through
each twenty of your kids classes and you go through,
you know, you meet the teacher and they give you
their theory on how they're going to teach. And first
thing I noticed, and this was two or three years ago,
was that as you went into each class, there was
again you know how some women will have on the
(06:34):
back door of their closet door, they'll have all those
things where they hang shoes in them, they have pouches. Well,
they had these at the door, and when the students
walked into the classroom, they dropped the phone in the pouch.
And so I asked a couple of the teachers. I
(06:54):
was curious, Hey, this is a new policy. I like it.
What do you think of it? And they were talking about,
you know, why they were doing that and what was
going on. But it's very interesting that there is a
kind of a dichotomy there, because I don't believe the
(07:15):
kids should be during the class hour on their phone
during instructional time. But I don't believe that former state
Representative Jasmine Crockett should be making laws for Kingwood High
School or Memorial High School when she every two years
(07:37):
would spend a few months in Austin. I don't think
that we need Sylvester Turner deciding the rules for your kids'
school in Corpus Christy. I think that's ridiculous. And that's
where we go wrong, is the idea that we start
focusing on. Yeah, you know, kids, you use the phone
(07:57):
too much these days. And then you get some measure
that comes up as a law.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, do that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, that's not how you solve problems. You don't solve
problems by state legislators meeting every other year in Austin
writing a law. But that's where we are. We're going
to focus on what happened in Texas. A and M
with his student being kicked out and just a moment
your tax dollars at war closing time, when you're listening
(08:25):
to the Michael Berry Show. Soul singer Luther Simmons of
the main Ingredient born on this day. It was their
nineteen seventy two hit that Aaron Neville would later, of
(08:47):
course do a h oh, he's not South Korean? Why
do he? Oh? Soule singer? Okay, all right, really, okay,
So let's talk about what's happening at our universities. The
(09:09):
university is funded largely by state and then federal tax dollars.
Only a very small percentage of university revenues come from tuition. Now,
you might be a parent saying as I would as
(09:32):
I say this, man, if you're getting all that money
with all those students, as much as I'm paying, how
much other money are you getting? Because you're getting a
lot of money. The university today has become a booming industry,
(09:56):
and it is, let's be clear, an industry. If there
is any educational institutional component that remains out of the experience,
I assure you it's unintentional. This is a business like
you would not believe. The dorms. Oh and we're not
(10:20):
just old fashioned dorms anymore. No, no, no, there are
varying levels of luxury, the likes of which you haven't
been back to a university campus in a long time,
will shock you. You would live there, You would be
happy to live there. This is in the old days
(10:40):
of the dorm where there's two of you in an
open space that if you laid crossways you could and
stretched out you could touch from end to end in
two cots that looked like you were in an old
insane asylum. Oh no, no, no, no, these have amenities.
They have a coffee bar inside their own mail boxes,
(11:04):
there's a nail salon. I mean, these are high end
book boutique hotels. They are fancy, and everything about the
experiences fancy. Want parking, Okay, here's what that's gonna be.
Wait for parking. And don't even get me going on
the football experience, the football experience and the tickets. My goodness,
(11:30):
you cannot believe it. And then you've got fraternities and
sororities and other types of social clubs in activities and
recreation and it is all a massive business. It's not
education at all. Well, it's probably more experiential than educational
(11:52):
in that sense. The thought of the engagement from faculty
his student, and that age old socratic process that's gone.
That is gone. It is pay us a bunch of money,
(12:12):
have a good time, and leave with a certificate that
you hope somebody responds to. The problem with all of
that is that the the marketplace doesn't respond the way
(12:32):
it used to the college degree. Let me get these
two audio bits in and we'll talk more about that.
This is a text a m student questioning the professor
who was teaching transgenderism. It's awful audio quality, our folks.
Jim Mud has done the best. He couldn't boost it,
but we know it's bad audio.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Can you explain to me how how teaching us about
gender identity and transgenderism and.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And that there's more sex is huh, my gender is
illegal gender? What do you mean your gender is not illegal?
According to President Trump's executive order it if you want
me to read the paragraph and that order itself.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Really that you are a little saw you yes, and
you love and that it is you need to talk
to the department or the head of Well, I've already
been in contact with the president of VANE and I
actually have a meeting with him in person to show
all of my documentation tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But we're also aware of the start of law and
the number.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Yes, I'm not us that more effectively and stopping me
to teachings the lives because already have legal and actuality.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So don't question the teacher who's really more about the
performative art of coming out. And you know, we're seeing
this in classrooms around the country. You have people who
are teaching, but they're not interested in teaching. What they're
interested in is exploring their own sexuality in a public
(14:21):
place by cosplaying as the opposite sex. Laura Ingram and
Charlie Kirk discussing the matter.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
At Texas A and M. Charlie, I know you've spoken there.
Everyone knows. I have a daughter there at Texas A
and M. I love the school. But a student was
apparently kicked out of class after objecting to transgender studies there.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Watch this according to President Trump's executive order. If you
want me to read the paragraph and not order itself,
not you know if you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Are on your.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Pole, Aaron, Texas A and M President Mark Welsh told
the Angle in a statement, indoctrination of any kind is
not a practice at A and M and will not
be tolerated. This summer's children's literature course contained content that
did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum
(15:15):
for the course. Your reaction, Charlie.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That sounds like a lot of legalies. I don't know
what the heck that means. But look, we need to
keep the pressure on these universities while young people are
moving dramatically to the right. I see this on my
college campus tour, which is kicking off again on Wednesday
in Utah. These universities themselves, the institutions, they are not
adapting the way they should.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
No matter this is nicky gilly and you're listen to
the seas Are Radio Michael Berry. Gender dystory yet is
the term that the clinical term that was used for
(15:59):
a number of years and is still accurate scientifically for
the uncertainty as to one's gender or sex. But it's
so much more than that, is feeling confusion and uncertainty
about one's own body, and gender dysphoria, up until relatively recently,
(16:25):
was considered by the American Psychiatric Association comprised of psychiatrists,
to be a mental disorder. Now you can offhandedly say
gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, and it gives you
(16:50):
in a discussion the high ground. Let's say your kid's
teacher is a man dressed as a woman, and you
go marching to school and say, I don't want this
type of person teaching my kid about their lifestyle, and
the principal says, ah, what the heck? And you said, no, no, no, no,
(17:13):
this is a disorder. This is a problem. It is scientifically,
clinically medically a problem has been diagnosed as such. So
if you want to ensure that this will proliferate through
the schools, what do you do? You infiltrate that organization?
(17:37):
You change that designation. In fact, you change that designation
to give a blanket, well, initially a tacit and eventually
a full throated endorsement for this sort of thing. Now
you can't say I don't want a person teaching that
(17:59):
lifestyle to my children and trying to recruit and groom
my children into that. Well why not would you mind
if the teacher encouraged your child to be an astronaut
or an engineer, a lawyer, or a doctor. Well, I
don't think those are the same thing. Well, now that's
what we've done. One of the great advances, and the
(18:23):
beauty of the left is for us to react. We
have to react in this almost spastic outburst, because we
have to snap everything back, because they have so insinuated
themselves into every sinew of life, every aspect of life,
(18:44):
and so for us to wake up, we go, wait
a second, we've this thing. They've just been slowly but surely,
like termites, just eating away at the foundation, eating away
at the framework of this whole thing. And you've seen
them do it in so many ways. I had a
law school professor named Leno Grauia, and he was a
(19:04):
mentor of mine, and I had a great deal of
respect for Professor Grawia. He was nominated by President Reagan
on the same day. In nineteen eighty six, Reagan named
two Italian Americans that was the big move to federal courtships.
(19:26):
One was to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, that
was Professor Gawia. The other was to the United States
Supreme Court. The thought was that Scalia would be the
more controversial of the two, so we'll put Grauia up
first and get him in at the Fifth Circuit, and
then we'll battle for Scalia. Well, it turns out the
(19:50):
left did not like Leno Grauia, and he was way
more troublesome to them than antonin Scalia or what they
did is the American Bar Association is something that every
lawyer over the years would be a member of. Nobody
did anything with it. It was kind of useless. It
(20:11):
was sort of a loose association, and it would loosely
represent uh, legal them ramon, that's my new term, legal them.
It would it would represent the world, the American Society
of Lawyers, so to speak, the a B a American
Bar Association, and they would be asked as a kind
(20:34):
of a polite impromoter to stamp on the recommendation for
any presidential nomination to a bench, a federal bench. Remember
it's nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
And they would always, you know, a cursory review, and
they say, oh, yes, yes, it looks good, Yes, it
(20:55):
looks good, and that you know that that way, there'd
been some sort of vetting by the lawyers for this
sort of thing. Okay. Well, then all of a sudden
in nineteen eighty six, that organization that again the left
had done this with psychiatry, They had done this in
so many different ways, Hollywood, all of a sudden you
(21:18):
started noticing that all of your public institutions had changed,
and everyone woke up and didn't realize they've been working
on this thing. They have stacked the deck on this,
and that's the moment you realize, wow, okay, I didn't
(21:39):
know that y'all had been working behind the scenes. So
the ABA, for the first time in its long history,
comes out with a public statement that Leno Groya is
not fit to serve on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well,
that's interesting because he's been for a decade and a
(22:04):
half an esteemed faculty member at the University of Texas
School of Law, one of the finest legal institutions in
the country. That's interesting because he's been asked to speak
across the country by the Federalist Society and any other
sort of organization. He's written the book on conlaw that
every student at the University of Texas studies. But he's
(22:28):
not fit with the role of the judiciary is to
determine the application of the Constitution to laws and actions
of the Executive and Congress. And one of the most
esteemed constitutional law professors in the country is deemed unworthy.
It makes you start to wonder, perhaps he's not being
(22:52):
measured on his understanding of the Constitution when he's the
fact that taught. He's the professor who taught a number
of those people who are now in the ABA and
a number of people on the Bench. Conlaw itself, it
was never historically supposed to be the role of the
(23:15):
Senate to determine whether we like how a judge rules.
It was supposed to be the case that we only
adjudge why they rule, and as long as they can
point to a good legal precedent and good legal theory.
It was understood that we would disagree on matters of
(23:37):
the application of the law or the constitutionality of statutes.
But now all of a sudden, the ABA decided you
couldn't argue that the man didn't know conlaw. He literally
wrote the book. Literally, he taught the class people's understanding
(23:57):
of conlaw, including mine, shaped by Leno Graula. So how
are you going to say that he can't serve on
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well, we don't like him.
He's racist, he's mean. There we go again, There we
go again. Once we call someone racist, we can wipe
(24:20):
out their entire career. Michael Berry's show, He Knocked My
Face On That was added later seventy four years ago. Today,
Tom Wopap, He's the other of the Duke Boys, was born.
(24:41):
He was an actor and a singer. His singing always
made me feel uncomfortable, kind of like the first moment
you realized Jim Nabors was gay, and you like, oh
you knew gay? Oh yeah, yeah, he's he's gay. And
then they go, hey, you remember Gomer, Yeah, I remember Gomer?
(25:06):
Remember Gomer Paul Yeah yeah. And the guy who played his
drill sergeant was so awesome because you never felt he
was bullying, and because he was always kind of you know, uh,
the overly frustrated but not quite there was something of
something perfect about the way he carried off that roll. Anyway,
(25:29):
that's the moment. You know, they're they're doing the ad
on late night TV. You're not old enough to remember this,
but the ad basically went like this. You remember Gomer Pyle, Yeah,
I do. I love Shazam, I love Gomer Paul Yeah. Yeah.
He was always over eager and yeah, got that big
mouth hanging out there. When it rains, he drowns and
you're like, oh yeah, okay, all right, yeah yeah, gold
(25:51):
and Pile, Well, what's gonna happen? What was gonna gover pa?
Remember Gover paul us mc and yes sir, and then
the drill sergeant drive them crazy and you're laughing, Oh yeah, yeah,
I remember, I remember. What's going on? What's gonna handle
Gover Pile? Well? Uh, go over Piles come out with
a with an album? Oh real? I no Goldmer can sing? Yeah,
Gomer can sing? You're ready for this week? Coming up?
(26:13):
Just to mote will give the one hundred number. We
have the blue screen, the yellow lighting, h cash on delivery.
We can do this for you late night. You ready, Yeah,
I'm ready. And guess what you love gospel? I love
gospel music. Well how about this? How about Gomer pile
A ka Jim Naghbors. It's gonna sing gospel songs? Oh
hell yeah, I'm into that. Okay, yeah, okay, that's like okay,
(26:39):
let's see. Let's see. I like chocolate, I do. And
I like fried chicken okay, and I like beer. We're
gonna put them all together. I don't know if that's
gonna work. Oh, by the way, hope this Wiman acting thing.
(27:03):
Gohmer's gay? Wait? What yeah, Gohmer's gay? Nobody ever told
me Gohmer was gay, wouldn't it? Gohmer get gay? Was
he always gay? Was he gay? Come to think of it?
Come to think of it? Yeah, I mean he you know,
I mean yeah, I get Wait wait a minute, how
(27:26):
does that happen? Yeah? Well, then there was that moment
that Tom Wolpet decided that he was going to sing. Now,
now Schnyder can sing. He co genuinely sing, and he's
got the good looks as long as Snyder doesn't just
totally miss a note he can. He can? You know
he's good looking enough that the women will watch him
(27:47):
stand up there and sing Gomer Pyle not so much.
Here is Tom Wolpat as Luke Duke and the Duke's
of hazard. In this scene, Bo and Luke are using
the outhouse as a target for their archery practice.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Now you might recognize the historical significance of this little
building by the familiar sign there on.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The door, darn it bowl.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Anything goes wrong around here, you always blame me.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Now why is that? Does he never do nothing right?
The way was all wrong in that arrow here?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What you can't even hit the ground with your hat,
and I get all the flat.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
I think we all feel a good start, Hey, Robin Hood.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
Those are supposed to be duds, not only you could
mix in a live one with a detonator cap now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Wood in the world, but blow up and out. I
don't know how it happened, Uncle Jesse.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Guy's making duds out of the dynamite case so we.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Can have car magazines.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well, what I must have done is put the real
dynamite next to the fox with the duds.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well, you got the iq of a turner, a small one.
Now you have exactly one week both of you to
have a brand new one sitting right there. I'm going
to go back to the beginning of that and just
let's leave Tom Willpat out for a moment, because he's
kind of like John Paunch and John nobody ever, kind
(29:34):
of really at the end of the kind of he
kind of tanto you know when he's there, you know
his name in case you get him on Jeopardy. But
but I want you to notice the glory of the
very subtle harmonica version of just a good old Boy.
And then Waylon Jennings as the narrator, just the all knowing,
(29:56):
kind of smirking, tongue in cheek narrator, which is kind
of outside his traditional skill set or experience, and how
perfect it was. We forget how good Whalan was, how
important he was to set the narrative to you know
what them duke boys are just about to do. Just
play that part again.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
Now you might recognize the historical significance of this a
little building by the familiar sign there on the door.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's perfect a self described queer activist attorney. That was
a pivot, wasn't it. We went to Dukes of Hazard
to self described queer activist attorney and admitted former supporter
of La Comandante Lena Idaigo has filed a report with
the Texas Department of Family Protective Services after the Comandante
(30:53):
brought dozens of children to Commissioner's court last month to
push for her tax height. That attorney says, I just
imagine that those kids, at least some of them, were
in foster care, and that made me really concern for
how they were brought into this kind of situation. It
didn't seem appropriate for a field trip or anything like that.
(31:15):
It just seemed like a chaotic political stunt. You remember
what happened. She brought the kids down, and she needed
three votes to get her little to get more cash
for her purposes. So she said, I can count the
three kids. Can you count the three? I've got one.
I've got ride in the yellows because I do it.
He says that there's two of us, and who will
(31:35):
be the third? Oh, they won't be the third, because
they mean old people. She's trotting. According to this, foster
kids down as little pet props.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air. So I want
to know you think Robert F. Kennedy Junior is the
best man to be leading public health. No, no, no,
answer the question. My decision. You're supporting the decision. You're supporting,
(00:27):
support his decision. You just called him a humble qualified minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So you think he's the best person to read public house.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think, of course, I'm no happy. Look at me.
I'm a big fat slab. I've got more sins in
that sadies fun pick. I've not seen my William two years,
which is long enough to decline legally. Did I can't
stop eating?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Get called free trade, you can call it fifteen, you
can do.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Whatever you want to call it. We're gonna make great
deals for our country. Might be free, might not be free.
I can tell you this. When Carrier and Ford.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And Episco leaving Chicago with a big.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Plant, they're moving to Mexico. I'm not eating oreos anywhere.
You know that, But neither is Chris. You're not eating
oreos anymore. No more oreos for either of us. Chris.
Don't feel bad for either. When I'm going to the movies.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Show you.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know that. Don't you call me hardly? Are stop
to tell me once again who's staffed?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
No, Chris, he's eating right now.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He can't be sir.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Please do not call him the fat pig. That's very distressed.
Don't call him. See I'm trying to be nice. Don't
call him a fat pig. You can't do you can't.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Do that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So now because you're not allowed to do that, and
therefore we're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Okay, we want to be very civil. Right, we're going again.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I gotta take their work become.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Shall know them, know him the way I'm a shadow
way the forty you bound them? And tell you once again,
who's said.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The exulted one. Chris Christy would like to answer your question.
Donald Trump calls me hurtful names like Krispy Kreme Christy
or the outlaw Jersey Whale. He also said that my
size makes me handy, capable, handy, capable of bankrupting the
(02:51):
golden crop.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Because shall know them wif Chris Christy wanted to criticize
one person and claim they are unfit for duty, choosing
(03:13):
Robert F. Kennedy for Health and Juan Services that's up
there with closing down the bridge on the way to
New York not a good decision, or the fourteenth Twinkie
of the night not a good decision. Chris State Representative
(03:35):
Brian Harrison posted a video showing a professor at Texas
A and M University ordering a student to leave class
supposed to be an educational environment. The teacher, the professor
has lost their way leave class because she raised religious
(03:57):
and legal concerns about exposing children to transgenderism. The President
Texas A and M Mark Walsh the Third directed his
provost to remove a dean and a department head from
their administrative positions due to the video. So the video
(04:21):
allowed what happened to be exposed. So for all of
you who said, yes, yes, we want to take away
the phones out of the schools in Texas, and the
legislature did because the kids are on their phone during
instructional time. They're on their phone during educational time, and
(04:44):
we just generally don't like to see kids on their
phone all the time. It's irritating. It's one of those
things that if we're asked or kids on their phone
too much, we all so, yes, they're on their phone.
Too much. We don't like it. Everybody's on their phone
all the time. If you if you're in a public place,
(05:05):
you're walking and someone wanders into your your lane because
they're on the phone. As is on my phone. People
are driving, they're on their phone. You watch them at
dinner at the table next to you. They're not talking
to each other, they're on their phone. So there's just
generally just an unpleasant feeling about people being on their phones. Okay,
(05:32):
so when a measure comes up, Hey, let's make it
so you can't be on your phone if you own
a business that makes over one hundred million dollars. Oh,
I hate rich people and on their phone people. Yes,
you can't be on your phone if you make over
one hundred million dollars. So we end up with things
(05:53):
happening for the best of intentions that you could see
coming that turn out to be worse than the problem
they solved. At my kids' school, I was interested a
couple of years ago when you do the parent teacher
(06:13):
night where you get to go and you go through
each twenty of your kids classes and you go through,
you know, you meet the teacher and they give you
their theory on how they're going to teach. And first
thing I noticed, and this was two or three years ago,
was that as you went into each class, there was
again you know how some women will have on the
(06:34):
back door of their closet door, they'll have all those
things where they hang shoes in them, they have pouches. Well,
they had these at the door, and when the students
walked into the classroom, they dropped the phone in the pouch.
And so I asked a couple of the teachers. I
(06:54):
was curious, Hey, this is a new policy. I like it.
What do you think of it? And they were talking about,
you know, why they were doing that and what was
going on. But it's very interesting that there is a
kind of a dichotomy there, because I don't believe the
(07:15):
kids should be during the class hour on their phone
during instructional time. But I don't believe that former state
Representative Jasmine Crockett should be making laws for Kingwood High
School or Memorial High School when she every two years
(07:37):
would spend a few months in Austin. I don't think
that we need Sylvester Turner deciding the rules for your kids'
school in Corpus Christy. I think that's ridiculous. And that's
where we go wrong, is the idea that we start
focusing on. Yeah, you know, kids, you use the phone
(07:57):
too much these days. And then you get some measure
that comes up as a law.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, do that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, that's not how you solve problems. You don't solve
problems by state legislators meeting every other year in Austin
writing a law. But that's where we are. We're going
to focus on what happened in Texas. A and M
with his student being kicked out and just a moment
your tax dollars at war closing time, when you're listening
(08:25):
to the Michael Berry Show. Soul singer Luther Simmons of
the main Ingredient born on this day. It was their
nineteen seventy two hit that Aaron Neville would later, of
(08:47):
course do a h oh, he's not South Korean? Why
do he? Oh? Soule singer? Okay, all right, really, okay,
So let's talk about what's happening at our universities. The
(09:09):
university is funded largely by state and then federal tax dollars.
Only a very small percentage of university revenues come from tuition. Now,
you might be a parent saying as I would as
(09:32):
I say this, man, if you're getting all that money
with all those students, as much as I'm paying, how
much other money are you getting? Because you're getting a
lot of money. The university today has become a booming industry,
(09:56):
and it is, let's be clear, an industry. If there
is any educational institutional component that remains out of the experience,
I assure you it's unintentional. This is a business like
you would not believe. The dorms. Oh and we're not
(10:20):
just old fashioned dorms anymore. No, no, no, there are
varying levels of luxury, the likes of which you haven't
been back to a university campus in a long time,
will shock you. You would live there, You would be
happy to live there. This is in the old days
(10:40):
of the dorm where there's two of you in an
open space that if you laid crossways you could and
stretched out you could touch from end to end in
two cots that looked like you were in an old
insane asylum. Oh no, no, no, no, these have amenities.
They have a coffee bar inside their own mail boxes,
(11:04):
there's a nail salon. I mean, these are high end
book boutique hotels. They are fancy, and everything about the
experiences fancy. Want parking, Okay, here's what that's gonna be.
Wait for parking. And don't even get me going on
the football experience, the football experience and the tickets. My goodness,
(11:30):
you cannot believe it. And then you've got fraternities and
sororities and other types of social clubs in activities and
recreation and it is all a massive business. It's not
education at all. Well, it's probably more experiential than educational
(11:52):
in that sense. The thought of the engagement from faculty
his student, and that age old socratic process that's gone.
That is gone. It is pay us a bunch of money,
(12:12):
have a good time, and leave with a certificate that
you hope somebody responds to. The problem with all of
that is that the the marketplace doesn't respond the way
(12:32):
it used to the college degree. Let me get these
two audio bits in and we'll talk more about that.
This is a text a m student questioning the professor
who was teaching transgenderism. It's awful audio quality, our folks.
Jim Mud has done the best. He couldn't boost it,
but we know it's bad audio.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Can you explain to me how how teaching us about
gender identity and transgenderism and.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And that there's more sex is huh, my gender is
illegal gender? What do you mean your gender is not illegal?
According to President Trump's executive order it if you want
me to read the paragraph and that order itself.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Really that you are a little saw you yes, and
you love and that it is you need to talk
to the department or the head of Well, I've already
been in contact with the president of VANE and I
actually have a meeting with him in person to show
all of my documentation tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
But we're also aware of the start of law and
the number.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Yes, I'm not us that more effectively and stopping me
to teachings the lives because already have legal and actuality.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So don't question the teacher who's really more about the
performative art of coming out. And you know, we're seeing
this in classrooms around the country. You have people who
are teaching, but they're not interested in teaching. What they're
interested in is exploring their own sexuality in a public
(14:21):
place by cosplaying as the opposite sex. Laura Ingram and
Charlie Kirk discussing the matter.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
At Texas A and M. Charlie, I know you've spoken there.
Everyone knows. I have a daughter there at Texas A
and M. I love the school. But a student was
apparently kicked out of class after objecting to transgender studies there.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Watch this according to President Trump's executive order. If you
want me to read the paragraph and not order itself,
not you know if you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Are on your.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Pole, Aaron, Texas A and M President Mark Welsh told
the Angle in a statement, indoctrination of any kind is
not a practice at A and M and will not
be tolerated. This summer's children's literature course contained content that
did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum
(15:15):
for the course. Your reaction, Charlie.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That sounds like a lot of legalies. I don't know
what the heck that means. But look, we need to
keep the pressure on these universities while young people are
moving dramatically to the right. I see this on my
college campus tour, which is kicking off again on Wednesday
in Utah. These universities themselves, the institutions, they are not
adapting the way they should.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
No matter this is nicky gilly and you're listen to
the seas Are Radio Michael Berry. Gender dystory yet is
the term that the clinical term that was used for
(15:59):
a number of years and is still accurate scientifically for
the uncertainty as to one's gender or sex. But it's
so much more than that, is feeling confusion and uncertainty
about one's own body, and gender dysphoria, up until relatively recently,
(16:25):
was considered by the American Psychiatric Association comprised of psychiatrists,
to be a mental disorder. Now you can offhandedly say
gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, and it gives you
(16:50):
in a discussion the high ground. Let's say your kid's
teacher is a man dressed as a woman, and you
go marching to school and say, I don't want this
type of person teaching my kid about their lifestyle, and
the principal says, ah, what the heck? And you said, no, no, no, no,
(17:13):
this is a disorder. This is a problem. It is scientifically,
clinically medically a problem has been diagnosed as such. So
if you want to ensure that this will proliferate through
the schools, what do you do? You infiltrate that organization?
(17:37):
You change that designation. In fact, you change that designation
to give a blanket, well, initially a tacit and eventually
a full throated endorsement for this sort of thing. Now
you can't say I don't want a person teaching that
(17:59):
lifestyle to my children and trying to recruit and groom
my children into that. Well why not would you mind
if the teacher encouraged your child to be an astronaut
or an engineer, a lawyer, or a doctor. Well, I
don't think those are the same thing. Well, now that's
what we've done. One of the great advances, and the
(18:23):
beauty of the left is for us to react. We
have to react in this almost spastic outburst, because we
have to snap everything back, because they have so insinuated
themselves into every sinew of life, every aspect of life,
(18:44):
and so for us to wake up, we go, wait
a second, we've this thing. They've just been slowly but surely,
like termites, just eating away at the foundation, eating away
at the framework of this whole thing. And you've seen
them do it in so many ways. I had a
law school professor named Leno Grauia, and he was a
(19:04):
mentor of mine, and I had a great deal of
respect for Professor Grawia. He was nominated by President Reagan
on the same day. In nineteen eighty six, Reagan named
two Italian Americans that was the big move to federal courtships.
(19:26):
One was to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, that
was Professor Gawia. The other was to the United States
Supreme Court. The thought was that Scalia would be the
more controversial of the two, so we'll put Grauia up
first and get him in at the Fifth Circuit, and
then we'll battle for Scalia. Well, it turns out the
(19:50):
left did not like Leno Grauia, and he was way
more troublesome to them than antonin Scalia or what they
did is the American Bar Association is something that every
lawyer over the years would be a member of. Nobody
did anything with it. It was kind of useless. It
(20:11):
was sort of a loose association, and it would loosely
represent uh, legal them ramon, that's my new term, legal them.
It would it would represent the world, the American Society
of Lawyers, so to speak, the a B a American
Bar Association, and they would be asked as a kind
(20:34):
of a polite impromoter to stamp on the recommendation for
any presidential nomination to a bench, a federal bench. Remember
it's nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
And they would always, you know, a cursory review, and
they say, oh, yes, yes, it looks good, Yes, it
(20:55):
looks good, and that you know that that way, there'd
been some sort of vetting by the lawyers for this
sort of thing. Okay. Well, then all of a sudden
in nineteen eighty six, that organization that again the left
had done this with psychiatry, They had done this in
so many different ways, Hollywood, all of a sudden you
(21:18):
started noticing that all of your public institutions had changed,
and everyone woke up and didn't realize they've been working
on this thing. They have stacked the deck on this,
and that's the moment you realize, wow, okay, I didn't
(21:39):
know that y'all had been working behind the scenes. So
the ABA, for the first time in its long history,
comes out with a public statement that Leno Groya is
not fit to serve on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well,
that's interesting because he's been for a decade and a
(22:04):
half an esteemed faculty member at the University of Texas
School of Law, one of the finest legal institutions in
the country. That's interesting because he's been asked to speak
across the country by the Federalist Society and any other
sort of organization. He's written the book on conlaw that
every student at the University of Texas studies. But he's
(22:28):
not fit with the role of the judiciary is to
determine the application of the Constitution to laws and actions
of the Executive and Congress. And one of the most
esteemed constitutional law professors in the country is deemed unworthy.
It makes you start to wonder, perhaps he's not being
(22:52):
measured on his understanding of the Constitution when he's the
fact that taught. He's the professor who taught a number
of those people who are now in the ABA and
a number of people on the Bench. Conlaw itself, it
was never historically supposed to be the role of the
(23:15):
Senate to determine whether we like how a judge rules.
It was supposed to be the case that we only
adjudge why they rule, and as long as they can
point to a good legal precedent and good legal theory.
It was understood that we would disagree on matters of
(23:37):
the application of the law or the constitutionality of statutes.
But now all of a sudden, the ABA decided you
couldn't argue that the man didn't know conlaw. He literally
wrote the book. Literally, he taught the class people's understanding
(23:57):
of conlaw, including mine, shaped by Leno Graula. So how
are you going to say that he can't serve on
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well, we don't like him.
He's racist, he's mean. There we go again, There we
go again. Once we call someone racist, we can wipe
(24:20):
out their entire career. Michael Berry's show, He Knocked My
Face On That was added later seventy four years ago. Today,
Tom Wopap, He's the other of the Duke Boys, was born.
(24:41):
He was an actor and a singer. His singing always
made me feel uncomfortable, kind of like the first moment
you realized Jim Nabors was gay, and you like, oh
you knew gay? Oh yeah, yeah, he's he's gay. And
then they go, hey, you remember Gomer, Yeah, I remember Gomer?
(25:06):
Remember Gomer Paul Yeah yeah. And the guy who played his
drill sergeant was so awesome because you never felt he
was bullying, and because he was always kind of you know, uh,
the overly frustrated but not quite there was something of
something perfect about the way he carried off that roll. Anyway,
(25:29):
that's the moment. You know, they're they're doing the ad
on late night TV. You're not old enough to remember this,
but the ad basically went like this. You remember Gomer Pyle, Yeah,
I do. I love Shazam, I love Gomer Paul Yeah. Yeah.
He was always over eager and yeah, got that big
mouth hanging out there. When it rains, he drowns and
you're like, oh yeah, okay, all right, yeah yeah, gold
(25:51):
and Pile, Well, what's gonna happen? What was gonna gover pa?
Remember Gover paul us mc and yes sir, and then
the drill sergeant drive them crazy and you're laughing, Oh yeah, yeah,
I remember, I remember. What's going on? What's gonna handle
Gover Pile? Well? Uh, go over Piles come out with
a with an album? Oh real? I no Goldmer can sing? Yeah,
Gomer can sing? You're ready for this week? Coming up?
(26:13):
Just to mote will give the one hundred number. We
have the blue screen, the yellow lighting, h cash on delivery.
We can do this for you late night. You ready, Yeah,
I'm ready. And guess what you love gospel? I love
gospel music. Well how about this? How about Gomer pile
A ka Jim Naghbors. It's gonna sing gospel songs? Oh
hell yeah, I'm into that. Okay, yeah, okay, that's like okay,
(26:39):
let's see. Let's see. I like chocolate, I do. And
I like fried chicken okay, and I like beer. We're
gonna put them all together. I don't know if that's
gonna work. Oh, by the way, hope this Wiman acting thing.
(27:03):
Gohmer's gay? Wait? What yeah, Gohmer's gay? Nobody ever told
me Gohmer was gay, wouldn't it? Gohmer get gay? Was
he always gay? Was he gay? Come to think of it?
Come to think of it? Yeah, I mean he you know,
I mean yeah, I get Wait wait a minute, how
(27:26):
does that happen? Yeah? Well, then there was that moment
that Tom Wolpet decided that he was going to sing. Now,
now Schnyder can sing. He co genuinely sing, and he's
got the good looks as long as Snyder doesn't just
totally miss a note he can. He can? You know
he's good looking enough that the women will watch him
(27:47):
stand up there and sing Gomer Pyle not so much.
Here is Tom Wolpat as Luke Duke and the Duke's
of hazard. In this scene, Bo and Luke are using
the outhouse as a target for their archery practice.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Now you might recognize the historical significance of this little
building by the familiar sign there on.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The door, darn it bowl.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Anything goes wrong around here, you always blame me.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Now why is that? Does he never do nothing right?
The way was all wrong in that arrow here?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What you can't even hit the ground with your hat,
and I get all the flat.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
I think we all feel a good start, Hey, Robin Hood.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
Those are supposed to be duds, not only you could
mix in a live one with a detonator cap now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Wood in the world, but blow up and out. I
don't know how it happened, Uncle Jesse.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Guy's making duds out of the dynamite case so we.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Can have car magazines.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well, what I must have done is put the real
dynamite next to the fox with the duds.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well, you got the iq of a turner, a small one.
Now you have exactly one week both of you to
have a brand new one sitting right there. I'm going
to go back to the beginning of that and just
let's leave Tom Willpat out for a moment, because he's
kind of like John Paunch and John nobody ever, kind
(29:34):
of really at the end of the kind of he
kind of tanto you know when he's there, you know
his name in case you get him on Jeopardy. But
but I want you to notice the glory of the
very subtle harmonica version of just a good old Boy.
And then Waylon Jennings as the narrator, just the all knowing,
(29:56):
kind of smirking, tongue in cheek narrator, which is kind
of outside his traditional skill set or experience, and how
perfect it was. We forget how good Whalan was, how
important he was to set the narrative to you know
what them duke boys are just about to do. Just
play that part again.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
Now you might recognize the historical significance of this a
little building by the familiar sign there on the door.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's perfect a self described queer activist attorney. That was
a pivot, wasn't it. We went to Dukes of Hazard
to self described queer activist attorney and admitted former supporter
of La Comandante Lena Idaigo has filed a report with
the Texas Department of Family Protective Services after the Comandante
(30:53):
brought dozens of children to Commissioner's court last month to
push for her tax height. That attorney says, I just
imagine that those kids, at least some of them, were
in foster care, and that made me really concern for
how they were brought into this kind of situation. It
didn't seem appropriate for a field trip or anything like that.
(31:15):
It just seemed like a chaotic political stunt. You remember
what happened. She brought the kids down, and she needed
three votes to get her little to get more cash
for her purposes. So she said, I can count the
three kids. Can you count the three? I've got one.
I've got ride in the yellows because I do it.
He says that there's two of us, and who will
(31:35):
be the third? Oh, they won't be the third, because
they mean old people. She's trotting. According to this, foster
kids down as little pet props.
