Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
That American dream is slipping away. I don't have to
tell you that you're feeling your lives. You see it
in your shrinking wages, in the cost of everything from
groceries to healthcare, to college to filling.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Up your car at the gas station.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It keeps going up, been up and up, and the
future keeps receding further and further and further away.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about
the American dream.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
How it feels like it's out of region.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know, home ownership for too many people in our
country now is elusive.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
You know, gone is the day of everyone thinking they
could actually live the American dream.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.
With your vote in this election, I will end inflation,
i will stop the invasion, and I will bring back
the American Dream.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
On me when you're not strong, and I'll be your bread.
Now help you can.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
We're winning by a lot. We're leading by a lot.
We're leading in the polls every single state. Looks like
we're doing your.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And with your supporter November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer,
and stronger than ever before me.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
When you're not smart, and I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Me your dream.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Now, help you care.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
For those who abandoned hope, We'll restore hope, and we'll
welcome them into a great national crusade to make America
great again.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
And that's why I'm here today, That's why I'm standing
before you, because we are going to finish what we started.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
We started something that was amo.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We're going to complete the mission.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We're going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Somebody still, this election is a choice between whether we
will have a four I think of this four more years,
could you stand it? It's four more years of incompetence, stupidity,
and failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the
(02:48):
four greatest years in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think we have a real chair fake America great again.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America great.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm gonna play that for a minute. Can y'all give
me just a second. I'm running one last model on
electoral votes. I just want to tell you this up
one more time. Just give me, just play something nice.
Speaker 10 (03:40):
I had never seen lyne so long with the liquor
stores I did today. Everybody nervous as hell behind what
thing that happens. You got two options. Number one is
you can be unburdened by what has yet to have
been did or Number two, fight, baby fight. It could
not be most said that for real, though, Hey man,
(04:03):
I feel like there's a change just come over America.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Huhow always?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
How many of you were old enough to remember a
change coming over America? That was the song for the
Gerald Ford nineteen seventy six campaign. Not a bad song. Actually,
they played the heck out of it. Before we get
to uh tomorrow, I'll tell you that the phone lines
(04:36):
will be open in three two one, and there they
go seven one, three nine nine nine one thousand, seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand. Before we get
to all of the election stuff, Peanut the squirrel and
everything else you want to talk about electoral college, I
(05:00):
tell you what happened to. My wife and I were
having lunch yesterday. She's kind of a treat for me
because I don't eat until the evening, but sometimes on
the weekend, I find it hard. I only eat once
a day, and I eat in the evening, and sometimes
I find it difficult. You know, during the week, I
don't have a problem because we stay busy. So by
(05:21):
the time I get home, i'm I'm pretty hungry, but
I have had enough to keep myself busy. I wonder,
like stay at home moms. I don't know. I don't
know how they don't just balloon up to four hundred
pounds if I had to. If I stayed at home
and I had food right there in the fridge, it
would be all day. I would just But because I
(05:43):
come to the studio and I keep my mind busy,
and I keep myself busy, then I don't have Fasting
is not that hard for me, or one meal a
day is not that hard for me. But on weekends,
many times, if I wake up, she'll always with each meal,
she'll say, do you want ext he? And it's always no.
But she wanted to go eat. We were in the
(06:05):
mood for dinner food, so we went to avalone dinner
and I had my usual three eggs over medium sausage patties,
white toast, grits, grapefruit juice, and coffee. Breakfast of Champions.
So from there we went driving all around, looked at
(06:25):
new developments, places in town we hadn't been in a while,
and we ended up over at West Gray in Shepherd,
and I said, oh, let's go into brass Y nineteen.
We hadn't been in too long. So we go in
and some friends come in and as they're walking past us,
the husband stops and says hello, And then the wife
(06:47):
had already gone to the table. So when they tagged him,
when he went and sat down, he said, oh, the
berry's over it. She comes over, she starts talking to us,
and I'm not authorized to tell her story, so I won't.
But these are they're pretty well to do Houstonians, actually
extraordinarily well to do Houstonians. And that's not to say
(07:07):
that well to do people don't get involved in politics,
but well to do people often hide from politics. And
all she wanted to do was sit down and talk
about the election and various aspects of the local election.
And you know, we may lose Harris County, we may,
(07:30):
but that she's going to fight like hell to try
to help win it. And she started talking about something
called fired Up to Vote, and she started talking about
the fact. She said, I've gone through my list of
not voted three times now. One of the reasons, and
I've said this before, but one of the reasons we
(07:51):
try to get you to vote early is because voter targeting.
That the resources for voter targeting are once people vote,
they're taking off. There's a list of who has voted
and who hasn't, of who's registered, and then you you
narrow that list to people who voted in Republican primaries
because those are Republican voters, and so you work from
(08:13):
that list. You got to get your base out to vote.
So with each day, a new list is generated, and
that list is who is registered to vote and votes
Republican and hasn't voted, and you remind them, right because
they're going to vote, You just got to remind them
go out and vote. And she went through her list,
her top one hundred. She had all these lists and
with each one she had voted, and I knew every
(08:35):
one of them, and it was it was you know,
her her girlfriends, it was her husband's friends, it was
and I thought, you know, that's not going to she
alone is not going to swing this election. But you
get a few people like this, and it's always women.
You get a few women like this that get engaged.
It's how you win election span. But it's only later
in your political career did you change your position wide
(08:56):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Shod become friends with school shooters that'll kill man because
I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And with your supporter, November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer,
safer and stronger than ever before. And with your supporter,
November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer
(09:37):
and stronger than ever before.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
You can't kill ladies.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
New Gospel takes six.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Take this hat and with your supporter, November fifth, America
will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and stronger than
ever before.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's one thousand. Received an email this morning from a
fellow named Chip Davis, and he said, zar, I just
want to recognize trailer, Will and frame. I have sponsored
(10:29):
a barbecue cookoff team for the Camp Hope charity Cookoff.
That's our big that's our big annual fundraiser. That that's
the single biggest thing we do. It is composed of myself,
former Army Apache pilot, my BF, a retired Navy seal
you don't think that's his boyfriend. That's his best friend. Okay,
(10:51):
and his brother and his brother Air Force and HFD firefighter.
Pretty good group right there. Former Apache, former Army APACHE pilot,
retired Navy seal and Air Force slash HFD firefighter. You
always want a firefighter on your barbecue team because they
(11:11):
you don't want a cop because the difference between a
cop and a firefighter is when a cop shows up
to work, especially, he's out running calls all day. When
a firefighter shows up to work, he's practicing his barbecue tactics,
you know they I mean, look when they're called in,
they're called in. I'm not saying they don't work, but
they have time to perfect. My little nephew, Michael Berry
(11:33):
on the Humble Fire Department at any given time, I
think he's on five barbecue teams. Well they have a
baby now, so he probably isn't doing as much as
he was. But anyway, Chipwrights, we needed a trailer to
haul our equipment, so we went to Trailer, Wheel and
Frame to rent one. When they found out what we
(11:53):
were doing, Tim in their rental department donated a trailer
to us for the weekend. If you happen to be
we get the cook off on Friday. Stop by Land
Air and Sea get it patche Pilot, Navy, Seal and
Air Force Barbecue for some barbecue and a whiskey. Chip Davis.
By the way, I'll give you the details in a minute.
(12:14):
That Camp Hope Barbecue is free and open to the public.
It's if you're loosing for something fun to do, that
is a fun thing to do. One other thing real quick.
This is kind of how these things work out. On
October seventh, I got an email from a fellow named
Chip teal best I can tell he's a financial advisor,
and he says, zar, we just wrapped up the Fort
(12:36):
ben County Fair and our family ended up not selling
our two show pigs. The pigs are headed to Belleville
Meat Market for processing and should be ready by the
end of the month. The family was visiting last night
and my city kids let me know they have zero
interest in eating their quote pets, and we discussed what
to do with the meat. Long story short, the kids
(12:58):
agreed that Camp Hope was where they wanted to donate
the meat. Can you please put me in contact with
someone up there to work out the logistics of getting
the meat to them. Thanks for what you do for
our veterans. Chip Teal, I don't know if it's Teal
or Theal, but I think it's Teal t h I
E l.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
David Malsby sends me an email every morning of some
things that are going on at Camp Pope, and one
of the things he sends as an update is anybody
who has volunteered their time or donated something or money.
And today one of the things that came up was
this wonderful gift from a Michael Berry show listener was
received on Friday, one hundred and fifty six pounds of
(13:39):
delicious pork, which aggravated the hell out of me. You
can't just say you sent pork. I need to know
how you cut it up, so he said. I think
it was chops, cutlets, some bacon. I don't know if
there was any ground pork. Do you think we don't
(14:00):
use enough ground port or pork patties? Patties? I had
a phenomenal I had sausage patties at Avalon Diner on Sunday.
They were fantastic. I like a good h you like
apple wood sausage. Yeah, So everybody wants a prediction, and
(14:22):
I'm not a predictor. I don't I don't see any
value to that. And and the problem is you just
can't know who's going to show up to vote. If
one hundred percent of Americans showed up to vote, Trump wins.
If our people don't show up to vote, Trump loses.
And that's just all there is to it. But based
(14:44):
on studying polls pretty heavily this weekend, I predict, if
trends continue, that Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona,
and Withisconsin. If he's going to lose a battleground state,
(15:06):
it would be Michigan. I think he can still win Michigan,
but if he's going to lose one, that would be it.
That would put him at two ninety seven and Hurt
at two forty one. Now, remember there's five hundred and
sixty eight electoral College votes. Almost every state is winner
take all. Nebraska and Maine are the exceptions. But it's
(15:27):
only one vote, so she'll pick up one in Nebraska
and one in Maine. It's not worth a lot of
time with parenthetical statements. Assume that every state is winner
take all. Now, what's frightening is Texas is forty electoral
College votes. You want to know why they spend so
much time if somehow the Democrats won Texas, if they
(15:52):
were able to win Texas, then they could lose the
battleground states and still win. You realize how close, how
important we take for granted that Texas forty electoral college
votes are going Republican. Texas is not as red as
it used to be. If the Democrats were to win Texas,
(16:12):
you can stop the count. You don't need they don't
even need a cheat.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It is over.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So Texas is is fourteen electoral college votes. Put that
into perspective. North Carolina sixteen, Georgia sixteen, Pennsylvania nineteen, Arizona eleven,
Wisconsin ten, Michigan fifteen. When people tell you that Pennsylvania
will determine the election, that was based on a couple
(16:39):
of factors, including that Kamala would win Michigan and Wisconsin.
If you're at two ninety seven and two forty one,
and you work from that point, if she wins Wisconsin
and Michigan, that puts her at two fifty plus. Pennsylvania
puts her at two sixteen. So all things being equals
(17:03):
satteras parabus. She still doesn't get there, but she's close
enough at that point. Well so, going back, Trump could
win North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona. But if he does not win,
(17:23):
let me say this, If Trump wins the nineteen in Pennsylvania,
that's not enough to put him over. But in the
states that are considered swing states, where he has a
reasonably likely chance of winning, it makes it impossible for
her because she has to win back the nineteen and
it's the largest of the swing states. She has to
(17:46):
win back the nineteen and she has to go get
her votes when they were counting on the nineteen from Pennsylvania.
I mean, I saw polls this weekend, and again, polls
don't vote, but I saw polls with a clear margin
of victory of as much as five. I should have
put Nevada in here. I'm gonna put Nevada in here.
(18:08):
And at this point I think she's probably Nevada scares
me the most because you've got you've got the mob,
the mafia that that rigs that we saw that with
Harry Reid, and we we know that that's what they do,
getting emails from folks that are using fired up to vote.
One guy says, ninety of the hundred people I put
(18:31):
on my list have shown up to vote. This this
is how you went elections. This is how you went elections.
Con always does shit them.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Michael Barry just put her.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Head down and she went to work.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well, what will we do for this book? How will
we be remembered?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Look at the opportunities.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Before us, restless, the people dreamed.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
And it's the people who are making America great again.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh for the huntsless killers, murder us, drug killers, even
the script. There will be at six pm Central today
a special live meeting on spaces. It will be a
gathering of the state Republican Party and anyone who wants
to join for a prayer session as we approach election day.
(19:51):
You can find them on Twitter at at t e
x A S Texas spelled out GOP at Texas gop.
It's on their x account. And I've never done a space,
as have you, but apparently if you see it on
there there you just click to it and you can
(20:12):
join the prayer session there. I'm told that Turning Point
Action has a cool app that's free, gives you a
list of Republicans you can call who've not voted yet.
It breaks it into regions, swing state, must win counties,
and voters near me. Every time I go to call
(20:32):
the voters near me, there's always at least one person
I know. I'm a fifty four year old stay at
home mom. Your words are so true. I'd be four
hundred pounds, but I learned to move the computer out
of the kitchen and stay busy running to cycle Craze now.
Will tune back in at nine forty, keeping my weight
(20:52):
below one twenty five. Thanks for what you do. Love
the show. And she has a screenshot from turning Point
action of the app that she has used. I love that.
I love that. Who was talking about? Somebody was talking
about nervousness and anxiety. My pastor growing up, Bobby Spross
(21:14):
used to talk about this, preach about this, is that anxiety.
We didn't use the word anxiety back then. We use
the word worry. Everybody would say, I'm worried my mother,
my grandmother, may, I'm worried about my son, how he's
going to do. I'm worried about this or that. We
don't worry about elections back then, because we didn't feel
like elections affected us the way they do today. But
(21:39):
they did, but we didn't know it. But back then
we referred to worrying. Now we have clinical diagnosis of it.
We have a whole body of work on anxiety. And
people embrace their anxiety. They talk about their anxiety. Some
people seem to be proud of their anxiety. But I
(22:01):
will quote an amalgam of things I've heard over the
years that I also believe to be true, and that is,
you can spend as much time being anxious or worrying
over things as you could have spent instead making a
difference to the cause. If you're if you're a member
(22:21):
of the PTA and there's a big event that is
your fundraiser for the school, and at the fundraiser you
put on a carnival and you stand over in the
corner worrying. Well, that doesn't really help. Take tickets, sell corn,
sell hot dogs and corn on the cob and things
like that. Now does it? Standing in the corner watching,
(22:42):
But being very worried does not contribute to the bottom line.
If you make yourself useful, you find purpose in that.
And for me, having purpose, having a reason, having something
to do that I find to be meaningful. You can
always say to yourself, well, it's not as meaningful as
(23:04):
something else. Meaning it's not as meaningful as what Trump
is doing, or what this person on TV is doing,
or what this, but it is meaningful and if everybody
finds meaning in what they're doing. There's a big event
tonight in Cyprus. I don't know the details. Ted Cruz
told me about it, that we'll have a lot of
folks there. That is a Republican gathering. If you are
(23:27):
wanting to gather tonight. As soon as I have those details,
I'll give you where that is. Sam, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Hey Michael, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
I'm a UPS drop and I you know, I talked
to all my customers and I my small business, and
every one of them wants Daddy Trump back.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Every one of them? The economy, the business was booming
under Trump, and man, it was booming at UPS before Trump.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Sam, I got sexted. I got one hundred and fifty
seconds before we have to go to break. Can I
just fire some ups questions that you and you answer
as fast as possible? Hit me how long you been there?
I'm fascinated by ups drivers. By the way, how long
you've been there?
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
All right? How much did you start at?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Twenty dollars an hour and now forty five?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Dang brother, good for you. How many hours a week?
Speaker 9 (24:26):
I'm in high cotton right now, I'm fishing right now,
I'm in high cotton.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
How many hours a week?
Speaker 9 (24:32):
About fifty?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So twenty two fifty? So you makeing over one hundred
grand a year?
Speaker 9 (24:39):
Oh, yes, sir?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Is it hard on you?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Is it hard on the back, the knees, the joint,
the risks.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
The knees is the biggest.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
The knees from lifting or from the walking, you know.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
Just walking up to these houses and down to these houses,
up into the truck. Kind of stuff like that. Not
really the packages.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
How many do you leave the keys in when you
hop out?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
No, they're on your waistband. You got a little key fob.
You press the button, you start the truck.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Oh, it's a fun at dark kind of Hey.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Uh, Amazon's got those Rivians. Would you like to drive
one in? Rivians?
Speaker 9 (25:17):
You know them things are just falling apart them. Amazon
drivers just drive them like a bad out of hell.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
But they look good though.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
They do look good. They got a little Amazon headlights
on them.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, you know I have I have a fondness, like
an unnatural fondness for postal carriers and UPS drivers. I've
always been fascinated by the business. I've always thought, I
guess because I've always had good ones. I've always had
some guy that stops sin. It's always on black guy.
You sound like the first white guy, but it's always
some black guy with a great personality. And I always
made it a practice. You know, you come on in,
(25:48):
you get a coke, you do this, and like we
have a little friendship going. All right, do people Do
you find that people really like you because you're a
UPS driver?
Speaker 9 (25:57):
It's about fifty to fifty. Man, there's some people that
hate us with the packages and oh you you always
damage my box or whatever. But you get them good
ones that give you a coke and the water and
snacks and whatever. They m I'd say, three hundred packages.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Do you get in trouble if I rode along with
you for an hour one day?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Uh, you can sign up as a helper. You can
be my helper, Mike, none of us. Yeah, want to get.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Myself in the system. Thanks for the call. Sam and
I hope you're right. Look, but you're talking about a

(29:46):
So I'll talk to Gordon Bethune at eleven today. If
you have a comment or question you'd like me to
pass on to him, feel free to email me that.
Before then, I also got an email from a nice
lady whose son was sent to prison over the January
sixth protest, and they live in Beaumont, and she got
(30:08):
her baby boy home. She had sent me an email
that she was very excited he was going to be
coming home, and then I guess she said so yesterday
last night she said, greetings, my son is back from prison.
I had said I'd like to interview him, and she
included her information and we will be talking to him
(30:30):
later in the week once this settles down a little bit.
The election. We'll still be talking about the election for
quite some time, obviously. What's that. No, we're not off tomorrow,
but good try. But if you have a comment or question.
His name is Landon. He actually went to prison for
a year over January sixth. If you can imagine, I mean,
(30:55):
just wow, Kevin Wrights just heard your interview with Sam.
I'm the UPS driver. He sounded like a great representative
of our company. I hit thirty years there this year,
been at every job thinkable during my time there. He
is correct about business under Trump. I've seen it all.
We were booming back pre two thousand and seven, then
the housing crash affected US bunch of route cuts. Then
(31:19):
the Trump years brought them back. Now these trucks go
out with probably one hundred less packages since COVID and Biden.
I'm at OTR for the company. Now the road that's
over the long haul. Yeah. I wish people could see
the difference good economic policy means for all of us.
We see it firsthand in the warehouse. Big fan of
(31:41):
the show, longtime fan. Matter of fact, I used to
deliver to one of your campaign offices near Kipling, Kevin Needham.
How about them? Robert and his daughter? You're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Welcome, Hi, Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Is it you and your daughter?
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Where?
Speaker 9 (31:59):
Yeah, she's right, you're really nervous.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
How old is She's eleven?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Okay, Well let's talk to her first and then we'll
come back to you. Okay, here she goes, Hi, all right,
what's your name?
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Leenna Gonzales?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
For your first name?
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Is what.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Leanna?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Leanna?
Speaker 9 (32:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
How do I spell Leanna?
Speaker 9 (32:25):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
I A n a? H?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh? My goodness? What's that h at the end? Doing?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (32:35):
This?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Uh oh? Just as the uh? Okay? And what's your
middle Leana?
Speaker 9 (32:43):
June?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
What did you call about, sweetheart?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
I called about election day? And I how I hope
that the Democrats don't cheat again?
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Me too, Leanna. Are you in school or do you homeschool?
Speaker 5 (33:05):
I'm in school.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Do you what are you? Fifth grade? Sixth sixth grade? Well,
you're young for sixth grade. Are you and your friends
talking about the election? No, it doesn't come up.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
I'm no, it doesn't come up.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Why do you think that is.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
They don't really like talking about politics?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Do you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Why is that.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Because it's like right now and it's just happening right now,
and we want to know what's going on with our
with our presidential stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Good for you. Do you think your parents being interested
in what's going on in the country increase the likelihood
that you would be interested?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Do you talk about these sorts of things at the
dinner table?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Do you know who Thomas Jefferson is?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, arguably the single
most important arguably the American creed most important document. Now
our Constitution is our governing document with the Declaration of
Independence he laid out. But you're eleven years old, and
I'll tell you a quick story on Thomas Jefferson. His
father died when he was young, and he had a
mentor you're lucky you have your parents. But he had
(34:31):
a mentor, and his mentor would take him to sit
with the governor, congressman or different people and they would
have dinner. And he said, that was my university experience.
So you drink up that. You be grateful that your
parents are engaging with you in teaching you things. He
started that as young as nine, and they said by
fourteen he was like an adult. And I can tell
(34:52):
you are as well. So be grateful for these experiences
because it sounds like your friends don't have those experiences.
Not everybody's lucky enough to have parents who take the
time with them and share with them and engage and
listen to them and also teach them. Will you do
that for me? Leanna June? Yeah, all right, you're fantastic.
You give me hope for the future because when I'm old,
(35:15):
I'm one of the people. You know, you had to
make sure that you know, my apple sauce doesn't fall
too far out of my mount Will you do that.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
That American dream is slipping away. I don't have to
tell you that you're feeling your lives. You see it
in your shrinking wages, in the cost of everything from
groceries to healthcare, to college to filling.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Up your car at the gas station.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It keeps going up, been up and up, and the
future keeps receding further and further and further away.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about
the American dream.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
How it feels like it's out of region.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know, home ownership for too many people in our
country now is elusive.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
You know, gone is the day of everyone thinking they
could actually live the American dream.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.
With your vote in this election, I will end inflation,
i will stop the invasion, and I will bring back
the American Dream.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
On me when you're not strong, and I'll be your bread.
Now help you can.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
We're winning by a lot. We're leading by a lot.
We're leading in the polls every single state. Looks like
we're doing your.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And with your supporter November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer,
and stronger than ever before me.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
When you're not smart, and I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Me your dream.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Now, help you care.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
For those who abandoned hope, We'll restore hope, and we'll
welcome them into a great national crusade to make America
great again.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
And that's why I'm here today, That's why I'm standing
before you, because we are going to finish what we started.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
We started something that was amo.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We're going to complete the mission.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We're going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Somebody still, this election is a choice between whether we
will have a four I think of this four more years,
could you stand it? It's four more years of incompetence, stupidity,
and failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the
(02:48):
four greatest years in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think we have a real chair fake America great again.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America great.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm gonna play that for a minute. Can y'all give
me just a second. I'm running one last model on
electoral votes. I just want to tell you this up
one more time. Just give me, just play something nice.
Speaker 10 (03:40):
I had never seen lyne so long with the liquor
stores I did today. Everybody nervous as hell behind what
thing that happens. You got two options. Number one is
you can be unburdened by what has yet to have
been did or Number two, fight, baby fight. It could
not be most said that for real, though, Hey man,
(04:03):
I feel like there's a change just come over America.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Huhow always?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
How many of you were old enough to remember a
change coming over America? That was the song for the
Gerald Ford nineteen seventy six campaign. Not a bad song. Actually,
they played the heck out of it. Before we get
to uh tomorrow, I'll tell you that the phone lines
(04:36):
will be open in three two one, and there they
go seven one, three nine nine nine one thousand, seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand. Before we get
to all of the election stuff, Peanut the squirrel and
everything else you want to talk about electoral college, I
(05:00):
tell you what happened to. My wife and I were
having lunch yesterday. She's kind of a treat for me
because I don't eat until the evening, but sometimes on
the weekend, I find it hard. I only eat once
a day, and I eat in the evening, and sometimes
I find it difficult. You know, during the week, I
don't have a problem because we stay busy. So by
(05:21):
the time I get home, i'm I'm pretty hungry, but
I have had enough to keep myself busy. I wonder,
like stay at home moms. I don't know. I don't
know how they don't just balloon up to four hundred
pounds if I had to. If I stayed at home
and I had food right there in the fridge, it
would be all day. I would just But because I
(05:43):
come to the studio and I keep my mind busy,
and I keep myself busy, then I don't have Fasting
is not that hard for me, or one meal a
day is not that hard for me. But on weekends,
many times, if I wake up, she'll always with each meal,
she'll say, do you want ext he? And it's always no.
But she wanted to go eat. We were in the
(06:05):
mood for dinner food, so we went to avalone dinner
and I had my usual three eggs over medium sausage patties,
white toast, grits, grapefruit juice, and coffee. Breakfast of Champions.
So from there we went driving all around, looked at
(06:25):
new developments, places in town we hadn't been in a while,
and we ended up over at West Gray in Shepherd,
and I said, oh, let's go into brass Y nineteen.
We hadn't been in too long. So we go in
and some friends come in and as they're walking past us,
the husband stops and says hello, And then the wife
(06:47):
had already gone to the table. So when they tagged him,
when he went and sat down, he said, oh, the
berry's over it. She comes over, she starts talking to us,
and I'm not authorized to tell her story, so I won't.
But these are they're pretty well to do Houstonians, actually
extraordinarily well to do Houstonians. And that's not to say
(07:07):
that well to do people don't get involved in politics,
but well to do people often hide from politics. And
all she wanted to do was sit down and talk
about the election and various aspects of the local election.
And you know, we may lose Harris County, we may,
(07:30):
but that she's going to fight like hell to try
to help win it. And she started talking about something
called fired Up to Vote, and she started talking about
the fact. She said, I've gone through my list of
not voted three times now. One of the reasons, and
I've said this before, but one of the reasons we
(07:51):
try to get you to vote early is because voter targeting.
That the resources for voter targeting are once people vote,
they're taking off. There's a list of who has voted
and who hasn't, of who's registered, and then you you
narrow that list to people who voted in Republican primaries
because those are Republican voters, and so you work from
(08:13):
that list. You got to get your base out to vote.
So with each day, a new list is generated, and
that list is who is registered to vote and votes
Republican and hasn't voted, and you remind them, right because
they're going to vote, You just got to remind them
go out and vote. And she went through her list,
her top one hundred. She had all these lists and
with each one she had voted, and I knew every
(08:35):
one of them, and it was it was you know,
her her girlfriends, it was her husband's friends, it was
and I thought, you know, that's not going to she
alone is not going to swing this election. But you
get a few people like this, and it's always women.
You get a few women like this that get engaged.
It's how you win election span. But it's only later
in your political career did you change your position wide
(08:56):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Shod become friends with school shooters that'll kill man because
I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And with your supporter, November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer,
safer and stronger than ever before. And with your supporter,
November fifth, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer
(09:37):
and stronger than ever before.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
You can't kill ladies.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
New Gospel takes six.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Take this hat and with your supporter, November fifth, America
will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and stronger than
ever before.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's one thousand. Received an email this morning from a
fellow named Chip Davis, and he said, zar, I just
want to recognize trailer, Will and frame. I have sponsored
(10:29):
a barbecue cookoff team for the Camp Hope charity Cookoff.
That's our big that's our big annual fundraiser. That that's
the single biggest thing we do. It is composed of myself,
former Army Apache pilot, my BF, a retired Navy seal
you don't think that's his boyfriend. That's his best friend. Okay,
(10:51):
and his brother and his brother Air Force and HFD firefighter.
Pretty good group right there. Former Apache, former Army APACHE pilot,
retired Navy seal and Air Force slash HFD firefighter. You
always want a firefighter on your barbecue team because they
(11:11):
you don't want a cop because the difference between a
cop and a firefighter is when a cop shows up
to work, especially, he's out running calls all day. When
a firefighter shows up to work, he's practicing his barbecue tactics,
you know they I mean, look when they're called in,
they're called in. I'm not saying they don't work, but
they have time to perfect. My little nephew, Michael Berry
(11:33):
on the Humble Fire Department at any given time, I
think he's on five barbecue teams. Well they have a
baby now, so he probably isn't doing as much as
he was. But anyway, Chipwrights, we needed a trailer to
haul our equipment, so we went to Trailer, Wheel and
Frame to rent one. When they found out what we
(11:53):
were doing, Tim in their rental department donated a trailer
to us for the weekend. If you happen to be
we get the cook off on Friday. Stop by Land
Air and Sea get it patche Pilot, Navy, Seal and
Air Force Barbecue for some barbecue and a whiskey. Chip Davis.
By the way, I'll give you the details in a minute.
(12:14):
That Camp Hope Barbecue is free and open to the public.
It's if you're loosing for something fun to do, that
is a fun thing to do. One other thing real quick.
This is kind of how these things work out. On
October seventh, I got an email from a fellow named
Chip teal best I can tell he's a financial advisor,
and he says, zar, we just wrapped up the Fort
(12:36):
ben County Fair and our family ended up not selling
our two show pigs. The pigs are headed to Belleville
Meat Market for processing and should be ready by the
end of the month. The family was visiting last night
and my city kids let me know they have zero
interest in eating their quote pets, and we discussed what
to do with the meat. Long story short, the kids
(12:58):
agreed that Camp Hope was where they wanted to donate
the meat. Can you please put me in contact with
someone up there to work out the logistics of getting
the meat to them. Thanks for what you do for
our veterans. Chip Teal, I don't know if it's Teal
or Theal, but I think it's Teal t h I
E l.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
David Malsby sends me an email every morning of some
things that are going on at Camp Pope, and one
of the things he sends as an update is anybody
who has volunteered their time or donated something or money.
And today one of the things that came up was
this wonderful gift from a Michael Berry show listener was
received on Friday, one hundred and fifty six pounds of
(13:39):
delicious pork, which aggravated the hell out of me. You
can't just say you sent pork. I need to know
how you cut it up, so he said. I think
it was chops, cutlets, some bacon. I don't know if
there was any ground pork. Do you think we don't
(14:00):
use enough ground port or pork patties? Patties? I had
a phenomenal I had sausage patties at Avalon Diner on Sunday.
They were fantastic. I like a good h you like
apple wood sausage. Yeah, So everybody wants a prediction, and
(14:22):
I'm not a predictor. I don't I don't see any
value to that. And and the problem is you just
can't know who's going to show up to vote. If
one hundred percent of Americans showed up to vote, Trump wins.
If our people don't show up to vote, Trump loses.
And that's just all there is to it. But based
(14:44):
on studying polls pretty heavily this weekend, I predict, if
trends continue, that Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona,
and Withisconsin. If he's going to lose a battleground state,
(15:06):
it would be Michigan. I think he can still win Michigan,
but if he's going to lose one, that would be it.
That would put him at two ninety seven and Hurt
at two forty one. Now, remember there's five hundred and
sixty eight electoral College votes. Almost every state is winner
take all. Nebraska and Maine are the exceptions. But it's
(15:27):
only one vote, so she'll pick up one in Nebraska
and one in Maine. It's not worth a lot of
time with parenthetical statements. Assume that every state is winner
take all. Now, what's frightening is Texas is forty electoral
College votes. You want to know why they spend so
much time if somehow the Democrats won Texas, if they
(15:52):
were able to win Texas, then they could lose the
battleground states and still win. You realize how close, how
important we take for granted that Texas forty electoral college
votes are going Republican. Texas is not as red as
it used to be. If the Democrats were to win Texas,
(16:12):
you can stop the count. You don't need they don't
even need a cheat.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It is over.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So Texas is is fourteen electoral college votes. Put that
into perspective. North Carolina sixteen, Georgia sixteen, Pennsylvania nineteen, Arizona eleven,
Wisconsin ten, Michigan fifteen. When people tell you that Pennsylvania
will determine the election, that was based on a couple
(16:39):
of factors, including that Kamala would win Michigan and Wisconsin.
If you're at two ninety seven and two forty one,
and you work from that point, if she wins Wisconsin
and Michigan, that puts her at two fifty plus. Pennsylvania
puts her at two sixteen. So all things being equals
(17:03):
satteras parabus. She still doesn't get there, but she's close
enough at that point. Well so, going back, Trump could
win North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona. But if he does not win,
(17:23):
let me say this, If Trump wins the nineteen in Pennsylvania,
that's not enough to put him over. But in the
states that are considered swing states, where he has a
reasonably likely chance of winning, it makes it impossible for
her because she has to win back the nineteen and
it's the largest of the swing states. She has to
(17:46):
win back the nineteen and she has to go get
her votes when they were counting on the nineteen from Pennsylvania.
I mean, I saw polls this weekend, and again, polls
don't vote, but I saw polls with a clear margin
of victory of as much as five. I should have
put Nevada in here. I'm gonna put Nevada in here.
(18:08):
And at this point I think she's probably Nevada scares
me the most because you've got you've got the mob,
the mafia that that rigs that we saw that with
Harry Reid, and we we know that that's what they do,
getting emails from folks that are using fired up to vote.
One guy says, ninety of the hundred people I put
(18:31):
on my list have shown up to vote. This this
is how you went elections. This is how you went elections.
Con always does shit them.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Michael Barry just put her.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Head down and she went to work.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well, what will we do for this book? How will
we be remembered?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Look at the opportunities.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Before us, restless, the people dreamed.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
And it's the people who are making America great again.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh for the huntsless killers, murder us, drug killers, even
the script. There will be at six pm Central today
a special live meeting on spaces. It will be a
gathering of the state Republican Party and anyone who wants
to join for a prayer session as we approach election day.
(19:51):
You can find them on Twitter at at t e
x A S Texas spelled out GOP at Texas gop.
It's on their x account. And I've never done a space,
as have you, but apparently if you see it on
there there you just click to it and you can
(20:12):
join the prayer session there. I'm told that Turning Point
Action has a cool app that's free, gives you a
list of Republicans you can call who've not voted yet.
It breaks it into regions, swing state, must win counties,
and voters near me. Every time I go to call
(20:32):
the voters near me, there's always at least one person
I know. I'm a fifty four year old stay at
home mom. Your words are so true. I'd be four
hundred pounds, but I learned to move the computer out
of the kitchen and stay busy running to cycle Craze now.
Will tune back in at nine forty, keeping my weight
(20:52):
below one twenty five. Thanks for what you do. Love
the show. And she has a screenshot from turning Point
action of the app that she has used. I love that.
I love that. Who was talking about? Somebody was talking
about nervousness and anxiety. My pastor growing up, Bobby Spross
(21:14):
used to talk about this, preach about this, is that anxiety.
We didn't use the word anxiety back then. We use
the word worry. Everybody would say, I'm worried my mother,
my grandmother, may, I'm worried about my son, how he's
going to do. I'm worried about this or that. We
don't worry about elections back then, because we didn't feel
like elections affected us the way they do today. But
(21:39):
they did, but we didn't know it. But back then
we referred to worrying. Now we have clinical diagnosis of it.
We have a whole body of work on anxiety. And
people embrace their anxiety. They talk about their anxiety. Some
people seem to be proud of their anxiety. But I
(22:01):
will quote an amalgam of things I've heard over the
years that I also believe to be true, and that is,
you can spend as much time being anxious or worrying
over things as you could have spent instead making a
difference to the cause. If you're if you're a member
(22:21):
of the PTA and there's a big event that is
your fundraiser for the school, and at the fundraiser you
put on a carnival and you stand over in the
corner worrying. Well, that doesn't really help. Take tickets, sell corn,
sell hot dogs and corn on the cob and things
like that. Now does it? Standing in the corner watching,
(22:42):
But being very worried does not contribute to the bottom line.
If you make yourself useful, you find purpose in that.
And for me, having purpose, having a reason, having something
to do that I find to be meaningful. You can
always say to yourself, well, it's not as meaningful as
(23:04):
something else. Meaning it's not as meaningful as what Trump
is doing, or what this person on TV is doing,
or what this, but it is meaningful and if everybody
finds meaning in what they're doing. There's a big event
tonight in Cyprus. I don't know the details. Ted Cruz
told me about it, that we'll have a lot of
folks there. That is a Republican gathering. If you are
(23:27):
wanting to gather tonight. As soon as I have those details,
I'll give you where that is. Sam, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Hey Michael, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
I'm a UPS drop and I you know, I talked
to all my customers and I my small business, and
every one of them wants Daddy Trump back.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Every one of them? The economy, the business was booming
under Trump, and man, it was booming at UPS before Trump.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Sam, I got sexted. I got one hundred and fifty
seconds before we have to go to break. Can I
just fire some ups questions that you and you answer
as fast as possible? Hit me how long you been there?
I'm fascinated by ups drivers. By the way, how long
you've been there?
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
All right? How much did you start at?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Twenty dollars an hour and now forty five?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Dang brother, good for you. How many hours a week?
Speaker 9 (24:26):
I'm in high cotton right now, I'm fishing right now,
I'm in high cotton.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
How many hours a week?
Speaker 9 (24:32):

CEO of then Continental Airlines. If you have a question
for him or comment you'd like to pass to him,

(29:46):
So I'll talk to Gordon Bethune at eleven today. If
you have a comment or question you'd like me to
pass on to him, feel free to email me that.
Before then, I also got an email from a nice
lady whose son was sent to prison over the January
sixth protest, and they live in Beaumont, and she got
(30:08):
her baby boy home. She had sent me an email
that she was very excited he was going to be
coming home, and then I guess she said so yesterday
last night she said, greetings, my son is back from prison.
I had said I'd like to interview him, and she
included her information and we will be talking to him
(30:30):
later in the week once this settles down a little bit.
The election. We'll still be talking about the election for
quite some time, obviously. What's that. No, we're not off tomorrow,
but good try. But if you have a comment or question.
His name is Landon. He actually went to prison for
a year over January sixth. If you can imagine, I mean,
(30:55):
just wow, Kevin Wrights just heard your interview with Sam.
I'm the UPS driver. He sounded like a great representative
of our company. I hit thirty years there this year,
been at every job thinkable during my time there. He
is correct about business under Trump. I've seen it all.
We were booming back pre two thousand and seven, then
the housing crash affected US bunch of route cuts. Then
(31:19):
the Trump years brought them back. Now these trucks go
out with probably one hundred less packages since COVID and Biden.
I'm at OTR for the company. Now the road that's
over the long haul. Yeah. I wish people could see
the difference good economic policy means for all of us.
We see it firsthand in the warehouse. Big fan of
(31:41):
the show, longtime fan. Matter of fact, I used to
deliver to one of your campaign offices near Kipling, Kevin Needham.
How about them? Robert and his daughter? You're on the
Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 1 (32:30):

Speaker 8 (32:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Me too, Leanna. Are you in school or do you homeschool?
Speaker 5 (33:05):
I'm in school.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Do you what are you? Fifth grade? Sixth sixth grade? Well,
you're young for sixth grade. Are you and your friends
talking about the election? No, it doesn't come up.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
I'm no, it doesn't come up.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Why do you think that is.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
They don't really like talking about politics?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Do you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Why is that.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Because it's like right now and it's just happening right now,
and we want to know what's going on with our
with our presidential stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Good for you. Do you think your parents being interested
in what's going on in the country increase the likelihood
that you would be interested?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Do you talk about these sorts of things at the
dinner table?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Do you know who Thomas Jefferson is?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, arguably the single
most important arguably the American creed most important document. Now
our Constitution is our governing document with the Declaration of
Independence he laid out. But you're eleven years old, and
I'll tell you a quick story on Thomas Jefferson. His
father died when he was young, and he had a
mentor you're lucky you have your parents. But he had
(34:31):
a mentor, and his mentor would take him to sit
with the governor, congressman or different people and they would
have dinner. And he said, that was my university experience.
So you drink up that. You be grateful that your
parents are engaging with you in teaching you things. He
started that as young as nine, and they said by
fourteen he was like an adult. And I can tell
(34:52):
you are as well. So be grateful for these experiences
because it sounds like your friends don't have those experiences.
Not everybody's lucky enough to have parents who take the
time with them and share with them and engage and
listen to them and also teach them. Will you do
that for me? Leanna June? Yeah, all right, you're fantastic.
You give me hope for the future because when I'm old,
(35:15):
I'm one of the people. You know, you had to
make sure that you know, my apple sauce doesn't fall
too far out of my mount Will you do that.
