Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
There is no denying that the Russians interfered.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
In the election.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Whether or not they had willing or unwitting help from
the Trump team, they interfered, and they did so to
help him and hurt me.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic.
Over one hundred documents that we released on Friday really
detail and provide evidence of how this treason is conspiracy
was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was
due to leave office, after President Trump had already gotten elected.
(00:51):
This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is
an issue that is so serious it should concern every
single American.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It away.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that that claims that
Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other
assessment that had been made previously in the months leading
up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that
Russia neither had neither the intent nor the capability to
try to quote unquote hack the United States election for
(01:37):
the presidency of the United States.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
When you look at that, those bakers, they have a
stone called and it was President Obama from what Tolsey
told me. She's got thousands of additional documents cobably, so
President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
Also got it from Crooked Hillary Clinton. Rooked is three dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
On the show today, we will ponder the question that
plagues every man almost daily when we wake in the
morning and dig in our hairy navel. What should we
call the lint and collectibles that gather in the cavern
housing our belly button? When we pull it out and
stare at it? What does it really mean? Is the
proper disposal simply to flick it into the air, where
(03:00):
it settles onto the ground and begins its journey back
to our naval or should we preserve it for posterity
a sign that we were once alive, vibrant, vital. Why
has nobody ever named this to trite us? And what
does it tell us about the cosmos? In local news,
(03:21):
a new report shows more than one half of Harris
County voters believe things are going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The story from ABC.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
The new uh Hobby School survey shows more than half
of registered voters here in Harris County are not happy
with their county government. For more on what they are
concerned about, let's bring in ABC thirteen Spright at Hamilton.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
This survey was conducted over a nine day period. Out
of the twenty three hundred people that responded, more than
half say they believe the county is going in the
wrong direction. Troubling numbers this morning from a survey conducted
by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University
of Houston, fifty seven percent of Harris County registered voters
(04:04):
think things are going the wrong direction compared to forty
three percent in the right direction.
Speaker 10 (04:10):
We ask Harris County residents what the top issues are
that they believe in the big problems facing Harris County.
They point to things like crime, streets and roads and
bad condition, the high cost of housing, and homelessness.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
How important are these reports when we talk about overall
understanding the county that we live in.
Speaker 10 (04:30):
These surveys help us understand what everyone is thinking about
key issues, not just what people we know and talk
to are thinking, and they provide a real baseline for
county policy makers to look and see what are the
problems that Harris county residents believe are confronting their county.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
Issues like crime in their neighborhoods and the lack of sidewalks.
The report also looked at the county's four Commissioner precincts.
In Precinct one, streets and bad condition is at the
top at fifty three percent on having a major negative
impact on quality of life. The same was for Precincts
two and four. In Precinct three, the survey found home
(05:11):
and car break ins and violent crime was also of
major concern with thirty two percent each.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
When it comes to elected.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Officials, Judge Lena Hidalgo at the lowest net approval rating
with four percent That is the percentage of those who
approve minus the percentage who disapprove. Sheriff and Gonzales at
the highest. And today's report is one of four other
reports we'll look at possibly bringing a theme park back
to Houston and as well as evaluating Center Points efforts
(05:43):
over the past year. Reporting in the newsroom, Brandon Hamilton
ABC thirteen eyewitness.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Sers SO Houston Public Media posted a headline that said
survey former mayor and niece Porker favored by voters for
twenty twenty six Harris County Judge election. Somebody at Houston
Public Media wants an East Porker to win, because that
(06:12):
headline is not only misleading, it's a lie. The headline
is survey former mayor a niece porker favored by voters
for twenty twenty six Harris County Judge election. Among all
Harris County voters, she had a thirty seven percent favorable,
(06:36):
twenty nine percent unfavorable, for a net favorability of eight.
Lena had all Go had a favorable of forty four
an unfavorable of forty two for a net favorability of
only two, but seven percent more said they were favorable.
A lot of people were unsure. Don't know on a
(06:58):
niece porker. Many people don't remember who she was. But
then if you go to potential Harris County Judge candidates,
Lena Hidalgo had a sixty six amongst Democrats, a sixty
six percent favorable, an these Porker only had forty six.
They both had an unfavorable of seventeen. This isn't a
(07:20):
general election, it's a Democrat primary. Lena Hidalgo is kicking
on these Porker's ass by twenty percentage points with the
same number of unfavorables. So why would they say that
in these porker's leading Because her team will take that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Headline and go out in fundraise.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
They'll tell all the little chattering class of people who
go from fundraiser to fundraiser and lunch to lunch, all
the executive directors, all the governmental affairs people, all the
little people who just repeat what somebody says and act
like it's their own. Lena Hidalgo is beating an these
porker big Lee Ken Paxton over John Cornyan Democrat primary stuff,
(08:07):
a very very misleading candidate, a very very misleading story.
But the fact that in these Porkers folks have an
inn at Houston public Media who's willing to give them
a headline like that tells you what makes her a
strong candidate.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Michael Barry Show continues on Wall Street Journal opinion headline,
Trump Coke and the Sugar Cartel.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
The President says things go better with caine sugar, So
stop aiding corn syrup.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Do you say syper syrup? You say syrup? Hice syrup?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
President this pressing Coca Cola to make its US soft
drinks with cane sugar instead of high fruitose corn syrup,
and on Tuesday, the company said it will launch mister
Trump's preferred version as a new product this fall.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Consumers will decide if it succeeds.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
But if mister Trump wants to help, he could dismantle
US sugar protectionism that gives corn syrup a cost advantage.
The episode is a collision between Maga style economics and
populist nutrition. Scientific authorities generally say there isn't a big
health difference between corn syrup and sugar, and the important
(09:37):
thing is not to chug too much of either. A
soda isn't carrot juice, no matter the sweetener. What's funny
is it whoever wrote that doesn't know that large amounts
of carrot juice cause liver problems.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It is true.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I was consuming a lot of carrot juice few years
ago because I.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Love carrot juice. And I have this dumb ass.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Idea that I haven't had my entire my entire life,
that if a little of something is good, then way
too much to the point of drowning in it is great.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And then I.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Figure out, oh, that was a bad idea. I'm a
moderation and moderation guy. But the point here is the
example they used. A soda isn't carrot juice, no matter
the sweetener. So in that sense, yeah, soda is like
carrot juice in small quantities. It's not so bad for
you yet. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has called
corn syrup quote a formula for making you obese and diabetic.
(10:39):
He's a man of the left who blames America's health
problems on big corporations. Yeah, and you're kind of a
shiell for large corporations.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Soda aficionados also say they can taste the difference, which
is what mister Trump seemed to cite.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I have been.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Speaking to Coca Cola about using real cane sugar in
coke in the United States, and they have agreed to
do so, he wrote on truth Social This.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Will be a very good move by them. You'll see.
It's just better.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Having ended the Ukraine and Gaza wars, mister Trump apparently
has the time to tell sodamakers what to put in
their bottles. Yeah, he kind of does, and Americans are
behind him. Coca Cola will apparently put both products on
the market. The old corn syrup Coke that nobody liked,
(11:31):
and the new stuff, which they will call since it
uses pure cane sugar.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Ramon.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
That's you a bit of a buzz around town tonight,
as President Trump has officially struck a deal with Coca
Cola to remove that gooey, nasty syrup out of the
recipe and replace with one hundred percent purecut sugarcane and
all exclusive a Channel nine News, We've just gotten word
from Coca Cola's chief marketing officer a new name has
been revealed for this sweet nectar soda, Drake Coke Caine.
(12:02):
We go to the streets to corresponded Billy McCracken, who's
at Costco where baletts of the newly branded cocaine are
just arriving.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Billy, what can you sell us well?
Speaker 12 (12:12):
Jim Thanky, I am so jacked. I am so happy
about this. I had a couple of apelis rise earlier.
Now I'm so excited about this new pred cocaine. This
happing never tasted anything better. It's the most wonderful thing
in the product. You known they got some year Costco
they're bringing in by eighteen forty six thirty eight ninety
two hundred and forty six cases. It's per kane sugar.
It's the greatest thing I've ever tasted. Abo Jactive an
arnsforce taking in front of hh oop backing even studio.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well, thank you, Billy.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
We haven't heard you this exciting since that red bull
truck overturned on the interstate.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
As we closed the.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
NYE, take a look at the new Coca Cola commercial
for the newest product.
Speaker 12 (12:42):
Features pure cane sugar Cokecaine.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
Eighteen eighty six, What a year. ConL ben To introduced
the first automobile. Joseph Cochrane has been the first commercially
successful automatic dishwasher. At a pharmacist that I am up,
John Pemberton. This old a medical syrup that quickly gained
popularity as a refreshing memorridge.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Called and called.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
Fast forward to today and there's more varieties.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Of Coca Cola and alite.
Speaker 14 (13:17):
Singers of your favorite washed up eighties rock band, original Coke,
Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Coca Cola.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Cherry, Coca Cola vanilla.
Speaker 14 (13:25):
And even what we consider disgusting Coca Cola Live.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
But now, thanks to President Trump, we introduce our greatest
and most.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
Delicious product derived from your sugarcane coke came Coca Cola's
new product, Cokekang, available everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Every place you shut cocaine.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Coca Cola statement was that it plans to sell quote
an offering made with US cane sugar, but as a
compliment that's with the enon Ironman to its existing US lineup.
In other words, corn syrup is not being phased out
since it's cheaper. That's no surprise. The federal government props
up sugar prices to the benefit of US producers, particularly
(14:20):
but not exclusively, in Florida, by meddling in markets with
a complicated tariff quota system.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Quote.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
In twenty twenty two, US wholesale refined sugar prices.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Were more than double the world.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Price, the Government Accountability Office said in twenty twenty three,
its report cited estimates that US sugar producers get a
protectionist windfall of between one point four billion and two
point seven billion a year, but sugar users quote lose
an estimated two and a half to three and a
(14:55):
half billion of consumer benefit, making it a net loss. Also,
high US sugar prices are another incentive for confectioners and
food manufacturers to set up shop elsewhere. Translation and I
know you got this, but just to be clear, because
I'm reading it and you're having to drive.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Or do something else.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
We have driven up the prices of US sugar relative
to what sugar costs around the world by preventing the
world sugar from coming to this country using protectionism. Okay,
we've protected American industry by so doing, they don't have
the normal competition that the marketplace would require, which would
force them to drive the prices down. Remember how much
(15:39):
a VCR first costs when they hit the market, then
when everybody was making them, how cheap they got. So
sugar in this country costs a lot, which means that
if you want to manufacture products that incorporate sugar in
the United States, you don't. You move abroad where your
number one input sugar costs a whole lot less. It
(16:01):
was also one of many reasons Wall Street Journals being
a little disingenuous. Here why Coca Cola went to corn
syrup because it's so much cheaper.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Another example of how government.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Interference in the market affects the consumer negative leading wouldn't even.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Notice it.
Speaker 15 (16:16):
Kelberry shot and Monday was the ten year anniversary.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Oh hoo, oh, I just noticed something.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh, lazy Bones got a little fire under his bum
because Jim Mudd came in for two weeks when he
was on suspension and started playing new bumps and we
got a lot of emails which I forwarded to the group.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But oh, I like that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
You're playing fresh new songs for bumps. So boy, two
weeks into his suspension, has come back with the little yeah,
I like this. This is Bledsoe over on the sideline
going yeah, Tom Brady may not ever come off the
field there, buddy, you might have to go up to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I wouldn't even do that to Ramont, but Monday was
the ten year anniversary. Duly noted. Ramont noted, Monday was a.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Ten year anniversary of our partnership with Gary Summners. Gary
Sumners has Texas Grand Ranch, and it was ten years
ago that he invited me out and they were putting
in roads on this heavily wooded thicket.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I don't know if that was walking. I don't
know if it was south.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Enough to be Walker County or not, but it was
it was North Houston up near Willis Way roughly, if
this was Orange, I could take exactly the exit and
where Ms boujou lid, where Miss Thibodeau lived and old
Man a Bear used to live over, and he'd shoot
(18:03):
a shot gun into the air and let the pellets
run down on us because he didn't like us, and
we'd go steal his girly magazines and pornold magazines or
whatever you want to call it, and then he would
shoot b B guns at us. But I don't know
North Houston quite quite as well. But anyway, and Texas
Grand Range started and I went out and wanted me
to see it, and we filmed a TV commercial and
(18:26):
they realized that all the results were coming from the
from our radio program, from you, not from the TV,
so they just put all their money on that bet.
The bank within three months became our biggest show sponsor.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Millions of dollars they spent on our show.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
And many many, many many million dollars they made back
because our listeners fell in love with the property. I
got to drive the steamroller James Taylor style and it
was this big I don't know what there's you heavy
industrial guys. Angus Davis at Texas State Reynolds one was called,
but I don't know what it's called. It's just a
(19:02):
big old roller and like a rolling pin. But you're
up on top of it, and we're on this black
top road that's going through the property and they're still
cutting swaths through early phases, and it was just incredible
the reaction we got.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I take a lot of pride.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
In our partnerships and the results we get and the
emails I get back from you when you say I
got one during the break, Hey, what's the lady's name
that does the wheels and estates and planning for the
afterlife and putting your estate in order? And in ten
seconds I can say Christine, I got it. Christine Weaver
at Auto Populates copy here.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
You'll love her. Boom, move on.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I love that part of what we do. So that
was ten years ago. Since then, Texas Grand Ranch sold out.
Everyone loved it. They were able to locate land east
of forty five became Republic Grand Ranch, which they named
after Republic Country Club, and there's still some phases left,
(20:06):
but that is almost sold out. Incredible, and so now
you go out there and it's like it's like our
own little Michael Berry Show community. It's cops and firefighters
and veterans and small business owners and everyone loves to
meet their neighbors because they all know they share their values.
I got an email from Robert Reese this morning that
(20:28):
he sent to all of the show sponsors that he represents.
He's one of our top salesmen. He and Grant Patterson.
He and Grant Patterson of the two that sell our
show more than anybody. And he was promoting his show
sponsors to our other show sponsors. Redstone Payment Solutions, credit
card processing, Lamont Brands, promotional items, Percento Technology, It Solutions, CCS,
(20:52):
Presentation Systems, Audio visual Needs, utility, tax removers, they set
you up for tax exemptions on your electric gas usage,
and OOPS cleaning commercial and residential cleaning services. And I
say all that to say this. He manages relationships for
some of our show sponsors, and his job in managing
(21:12):
that relationship is making sure their monthly payment is in
and making sure that I know what's going on with
their business so that I can talk about them on
the air and make sure that our partnership, it's like
a marriage, our relationship is working that whatever they need,
I'm taking care of and vice versa. And I say
all that to say this, that's our business model. That's
(21:34):
how I get to do what I do. That's how
our team gets paid. Our team are no longer employees
of iHeart. They're all part of Alamo Marketing, my company.
And so we've got a big team. We have a
team as big as rush Hat at his peak. And
that's pretty cool. Not because it's a bunch of warm bodies,
because a lot of people are contributing to the creativity
(21:57):
of our show and to serving you and our show sponsors.
But I say all that to say this, You're not
a competitor of ours, You're not a rival of ours.
If you, in the course of your daily endeavors, really
like something, you notice that a vendor that you do
(22:19):
business with, or a donut shop that you love, mister
Wynn or mister Trann at the donut shop. I can
say that, Ramon, because ninety nine percent of donut shops
are now owned by Vietnamese. I can use Vietnamese names.
And besides, I can still use Vietnamese names. If I
said Smith and Jones, you wouldn't have complained anyway. You
know what I liked about you being gone for two weeks.
(22:41):
If I'm being honest, your suspension, everything, everything.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Who didn't interrupt me Jim Mudd when I was in
the middle of making a really good point. Jim Mudd
didn't interrupt.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
No, ten thirty every morning he'd say I'm going downstairs
and get my lunch, and I'd say okay. He'd go
downstairs and get his lunch, and was it. It was like, no,
we're not getting donuts. We're not getting donuts, but you
know what I like, and I'm glad you bring that up.
You know what people don't do enough of donuts for
dessert at a restaurant. You can call them Begnet's, you
(23:13):
can call them whatever you want. We ate a restaurant
last night and they had donuts, chocolate filled donuts, and
Michael t ordered them.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He's like, yeah, let's get donuts. You and I like donuts.
I said, oh, well, Son, you know I can't eat donuts.
You want to tear my tony up And he said,
but these are Vignet's.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I said, oh, yeah, what about you went off to
college and came home and smart, Yeah, of course their
bene they're not donuts. Sorry, yeah, let's have that, and
we did, and then we had another one. There were
three to the order, and then we had another one
and Crockett, who does what he always ought, I'm not
going to eat that, and then he's in there just
devouring it. But I say all that to say this,
(23:52):
Robert Reese does that.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
For his clients.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
My show sponsors, so that our show sponsors used our
other show sponsors to do business. But in the course
of your life, the difference you can make. I love
when you use our show sponsors, and I hope you do.
I love when you refer our show sponsors. I love
when you reach out to me. People think I'm going
to be bothered. I'm not, no matter how many emails
I get. Every email I get says, who's the company
(24:15):
you want us to use for roofing, Who's the company
you want us to use for sighting? Who's the company
for jewelry? How do I? I will connect you all
day long. I love that. But I was reading a
survey on what's our generation called again?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What's my generation called?
Speaker 11 (24:35):
You?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Remember baby boomer? I'm not a baby boomer?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
It said, uh, fifty two percent. Oh, you were right
on this part fifty two. Baby boomers prefer to shop
at local, independent retailers versus national chains.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Nearly six and ten.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Agreed that it is more important to get exactly what
they want than the price it may cost.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Baby Boomers tune into radio.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Nearly twice the amount of time with radio compared to
other media or pastime. Optionist loan the Ethereal, the butterflies
with the they're all Duncans, and you know Duncan means
yo yo.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Did you ever see Lion King where it's what on
the NHS?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
We saw it in New.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
York and Michael t wanted to see it and we
loved it, and then it came to Houston at uh,
is that the Hobby Center right next to City Hall.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I think that's where we saw it. Might have been Jones,
but now I think I think it was at the
Hobby Center. And I was worried because when you see
it in New York, they have the permanent set, and
I thought, well, traveling says not.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
It's really good.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It's very it's a visual feast. We did it with
the excuse of taking Michael tea, but it's uh, it's
it's really really good.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's enjoyable.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
It is yeah, yeah, that whole theme, the whole movie,
the whole I'm sure there's some stuff that I wouldn't
like if I knew what they were actually trying to convey,
but I don't bother, so I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So I heard this.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I guess it was CNN a few days ago, and
Jim pulled this audio. He sends it to me, He says,
can you believe this? So I listened to it and
I tell it, Ramon, will you go ahead and play it.
I'm not going to promote it. I just want you
to listen, and then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 16 (26:47):
The African drum language, which is white boy stole. They
can call it the Morris code. They took the same
pulsation and rhythm, and now they called it the telephone.
And they took the same pulsation and rhythm, and now
they called it a computer, which is nothing but that
drop it. But if you don't the cat test people
to the computer, you don't see it.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
One of my favorite things, and there is so much
of this, is you'll have the black guy and maybe
he's got a boat tied on, he's got his nails polished,
he's got an expensive suit, and he's gonna lay some
things down. He's gonna talk about some things that people
ain't ready to hear, but he's gonna tell it, right,
(27:29):
they're gonna tell stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Y'all don't even know. See the white boy, what he done.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
He stole the telephone from the African, and a reasonable
person would go, telephone from the African. Okay, you have
my attention. Explain, but he doesn't because they've they've placed
two props, they've staged two black women on the stage,
(28:00):
and they're very supportive, very supportive, and they go, so
now you.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Got a chorus of two.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Ladies to whatever he's laying down, and so now he
kind of gets a little, a little cadence. He's got
his pace going. So he's like, that's right. They stole
like he's ever been to Africa, hasn't. They stole the
phone from us, from the bongo drum.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You see what I'm saying. They sow. They stole the
tank from.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
The knife we created from the elephant's tusk. They stole
the airplane from the rock we would throw across the
top of the water. So what the white dude done
done is stole everything from us, put one of his
(28:56):
pat tents on top of it, and left us Poe
and him rich on. This nonsense gets passed around for
some sort of extra for for for the modern modern
curriculum of open mindedness.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Now that you've heard it, let's let's listen to it again.
Speaker 16 (29:21):
The African drum language which just white boys stole.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
They can call it the Morris code.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Okay, stop, play play that one more time and be
ready to stop.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
We're gonna're gonna stop. We gonna break this down.
Speaker 16 (29:32):
The African drum language, which just white boys stole.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
They can call it the Morris code.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
See, if there wasn't an African drum language, then Samuel Morris,
when he created a system by which you would transmit
a sound, he wouldn't know that you could click once
or twice or three times, or dash dash and draw
it out, or he wouldn't have any means. He wouldn't
(30:03):
even understand sound. He would just sit there and look
at it, and he would say, if only I understood sound,
if only there was some way I could make a
clicking racket with metal on metal attached to the wire
using transmission.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
But he couldn't.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
He couldn't, And then, like Livingstone, he had to go
to Africa and he had an epiphany. Oh wait, they're
banging on the bongos.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I could wait a second.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I've got the transmission mechanism. I just couldn't figure out
how to transmit anything. I'm sitting in my office going
but there was no way to transmit my ex hell.
And then I'm like, but that wouldn't go through.
Speaker 17 (30:59):
But if you were to use a percussive effect and
you were to slap it metal on metal, I could
attach that to the wire and it would go through
and they would hear that as a sound, just like
the bongo in Africa, and it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Would communicate and we could create a.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Language just as they did on the Oh well they
didn't have a language from bongo, but still their sound.
I owe that to the African.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Okay.
Speaker 16 (31:30):
Next they took the same pulsation and rhythm, and now
they called it the telephone.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
They look the same pulsation and rhythm.
Speaker 16 (31:37):
And now they call it a computer, which is not
an African drum. But if you don't cat test people
to the computer, you don't see it.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah, you don't see it.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
See see if you're not just sitting around telling black folk,
y'all doneinvented everything, and white people downe stole it. See
w was banging on the bogo, and they over there,
you know, doing whatever they do, stealing from the Indias,
and they corn and stuff, and they don't know, you know,
they don't know what they're doing. And we over here,
(32:07):
you know, trying to show them what the computer could do,
you know, C d ram and you know two fifty
six and then five twelve and things, and they ain't
knowing nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
In white people, they had nothing.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
They done stole gunpowder from the Chinama. And so we
over here we own the bongo, and they're like, oh
that bongo pretty good. You know what I'm about to do.
I'm about to use Linux as my programming language. And
we stuck over here with no shoes on, looking for
running water, and they got the computer and we're like,
that's my computer, mother, and so I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That ain't right. So I'm thinking.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Maybe this was the reason that Rodney Ellis was housing
all the African art and charging it to the budgets
of Harris County governmental departments, because he was using the
African art as an inspiration.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
For how we would
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Improve the infrastructure and the universal basic income and elevate
strategies for Lean Ahead dog GO
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
There is no denying that the Russians interfered.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
In the election.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Whether or not they had willing or unwitting help from
the Trump team, they interfered, and they did so to
help him and hurt me.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic.
Over one hundred documents that we released on Friday really
detail and provide evidence of how this treason is conspiracy
was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was
due to leave office, after President Trump had already gotten elected.
(00:51):
This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is
an issue that is so serious it should concern every
single American.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It away.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that that claims that
Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other
assessment that had been made previously in the months leading
up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that
Russia neither had neither the intent nor the capability to
try to quote unquote hack the United States election for
(01:37):
the presidency of the United States.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
When you look at that, those bakers, they have a
stone called and it was President Obama from what Tolsey
told me. She's got thousands of additional documents cobably, so
President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
Also got it from Crooked Hillary Clinton. Rooked is three dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
On the show today, we will ponder the question that
plagues every man almost daily when we wake in the
morning and dig in our hairy navel. What should we
call the lint and collectibles that gather in the cavern
housing our belly button? When we pull it out and
stare at it? What does it really mean? Is the
proper disposal simply to flick it into the air, where
(03:00):
it settles onto the ground and begins its journey back
to our naval or should we preserve it for posterity
a sign that we were once alive, vibrant, vital. Why
has nobody ever named this to trite us? And what
does it tell us about the cosmos? In local news,
(03:21):
a new report shows more than one half of Harris
County voters believe things are going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The story from ABC.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
The new uh Hobby School survey shows more than half
of registered voters here in Harris County are not happy
with their county government. For more on what they are
concerned about, let's bring in ABC thirteen Spright at Hamilton.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
This survey was conducted over a nine day period. Out
of the twenty three hundred people that responded, more than
half say they believe the county is going in the
wrong direction. Troubling numbers this morning from a survey conducted
by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University
of Houston, fifty seven percent of Harris County registered voters
(04:04):
think things are going the wrong direction compared to forty
three percent in the right direction.
Speaker 10 (04:10):
We ask Harris County residents what the top issues are
that they believe in the big problems facing Harris County.
They point to things like crime, streets and roads and
bad condition, the high cost of housing, and homelessness.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
How important are these reports when we talk about overall
understanding the county that we live in.
Speaker 10 (04:30):
These surveys help us understand what everyone is thinking about
key issues, not just what people we know and talk
to are thinking, and they provide a real baseline for
county policy makers to look and see what are the
problems that Harris county residents believe are confronting their county.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
Issues like crime in their neighborhoods and the lack of sidewalks.
The report also looked at the county's four Commissioner precincts.
In Precinct one, streets and bad condition is at the
top at fifty three percent on having a major negative
impact on quality of life. The same was for Precincts
two and four. In Precinct three, the survey found home
(05:11):
and car break ins and violent crime was also of
major concern with thirty two percent each.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
When it comes to elected.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Officials, Judge Lena Hidalgo at the lowest net approval rating
with four percent That is the percentage of those who
approve minus the percentage who disapprove. Sheriff and Gonzales at
the highest. And today's report is one of four other
reports we'll look at possibly bringing a theme park back
to Houston and as well as evaluating Center Points efforts
(05:43):
over the past year. Reporting in the newsroom, Brandon Hamilton
ABC thirteen eyewitness.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Sers SO Houston Public Media posted a headline that said
survey former mayor and niece Porker favored by voters for
twenty twenty six Harris County Judge election. Somebody at Houston
Public Media wants an East Porker to win, because that
(06:12):
headline is not only misleading, it's a lie. The headline
is survey former mayor a niece porker favored by voters
for twenty twenty six Harris County Judge election. Among all
Harris County voters, she had a thirty seven percent favorable,
(06:36):
twenty nine percent unfavorable, for a net favorability of eight.
Lena had all Go had a favorable of forty four
an unfavorable of forty two for a net favorability of
only two, but seven percent more said they were favorable.
A lot of people were unsure. Don't know on a
(06:58):
niece porker. Many people don't remember who she was. But
then if you go to potential Harris County Judge candidates,
Lena Hidalgo had a sixty six amongst Democrats, a sixty
six percent favorable, an these Porker only had forty six.
They both had an unfavorable of seventeen. This isn't a
(07:20):
general election, it's a Democrat primary. Lena Hidalgo is kicking
on these Porker's ass by twenty percentage points with the
same number of unfavorables. So why would they say that
in these porker's leading Because her team will take that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Headline and go out in fundraise.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
They'll tell all the little chattering class of people who
go from fundraiser to fundraiser and lunch to lunch, all
the executive directors, all the governmental affairs people, all the
little people who just repeat what somebody says and act
like it's their own. Lena Hidalgo is beating an these
porker big Lee Ken Paxton over John Cornyan Democrat primary stuff,
(08:07):
a very very misleading candidate, a very very misleading story.
But the fact that in these Porkers folks have an
inn at Houston public Media who's willing to give them
a headline like that tells you what makes her a
strong candidate.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Michael Barry Show continues on Wall Street Journal opinion headline,
Trump Coke and the Sugar Cartel.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
The President says things go better with caine sugar, So
stop aiding corn syrup.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Do you say syper syrup? You say syrup? Hice syrup?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
President this pressing Coca Cola to make its US soft
drinks with cane sugar instead of high fruitose corn syrup,
and on Tuesday, the company said it will launch mister
Trump's preferred version as a new product this fall.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Consumers will decide if it succeeds.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
But if mister Trump wants to help, he could dismantle
US sugar protectionism that gives corn syrup a cost advantage.
The episode is a collision between Maga style economics and
populist nutrition. Scientific authorities generally say there isn't a big
health difference between corn syrup and sugar, and the important
(09:37):
thing is not to chug too much of either. A
soda isn't carrot juice, no matter the sweetener. What's funny
is it whoever wrote that doesn't know that large amounts
of carrot juice cause liver problems.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It is true.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I was consuming a lot of carrot juice few years
ago because I.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Love carrot juice. And I have this dumb ass.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Idea that I haven't had my entire my entire life,
that if a little of something is good, then way
too much to the point of drowning in it is great.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And then I.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Figure out, oh, that was a bad idea. I'm a
moderation and moderation guy. But the point here is the
example they used. A soda isn't carrot juice, no matter
the sweetener. So in that sense, yeah, soda is like
carrot juice in small quantities. It's not so bad for
you yet. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has called
corn syrup quote a formula for making you obese and diabetic.
(10:39):
He's a man of the left who blames America's health
problems on big corporations. Yeah, and you're kind of a
shiell for large corporations.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Soda aficionados also say they can taste the difference, which
is what mister Trump seemed to cite.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I have been.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Speaking to Coca Cola about using real cane sugar in
coke in the United States, and they have agreed to
do so, he wrote on truth Social This.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Will be a very good move by them. You'll see.
It's just better.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Having ended the Ukraine and Gaza wars, mister Trump apparently
has the time to tell sodamakers what to put in
their bottles. Yeah, he kind of does, and Americans are
behind him. Coca Cola will apparently put both products on
the market. The old corn syrup Coke that nobody liked,
(11:31):
and the new stuff, which they will call since it
uses pure cane sugar.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Ramon.
Speaker 11 (11:39):
That's you a bit of a buzz around town tonight,
as President Trump has officially struck a deal with Coca
Cola to remove that gooey, nasty syrup out of the
recipe and replace with one hundred percent purecut sugarcane and
all exclusive a Channel nine News, We've just gotten word
from Coca Cola's chief marketing officer a new name has
been revealed for this sweet nectar soda, Drake Coke Caine.
(12:02):
We go to the streets to corresponded Billy McCracken, who's
at Costco where baletts of the newly branded cocaine are
just arriving.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Billy, what can you sell us well?
Speaker 12 (12:12):
Jim Thanky, I am so jacked. I am so happy
about this. I had a couple of apelis rise earlier.
Now I'm so excited about this new pred cocaine. This
happing never tasted anything better. It's the most wonderful thing
in the product. You known they got some year Costco
they're bringing in by eighteen forty six thirty eight ninety
two hundred and forty six cases. It's per kane sugar.
It's the greatest thing I've ever tasted. Abo Jactive an
arnsforce taking in front of hh oop backing even studio.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well, thank you, Billy.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
We haven't heard you this exciting since that red bull
truck overturned on the interstate.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
As we closed the.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
NYE, take a look at the new Coca Cola commercial
for the newest product.
Speaker 12 (12:42):
Features pure cane sugar Cokecaine.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
Eighteen eighty six, What a year. ConL ben To introduced
the first automobile. Joseph Cochrane has been the first commercially
successful automatic dishwasher. At a pharmacist that I am up,
John Pemberton. This old a medical syrup that quickly gained
popularity as a refreshing memorridge.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Called and called.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
Fast forward to today and there's more varieties.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Of Coca Cola and alite.
Speaker 14 (13:17):
Singers of your favorite washed up eighties rock band, original Coke,
Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Coca Cola.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Cherry, Coca Cola vanilla.
Speaker 14 (13:25):
And even what we consider disgusting Coca Cola Live.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
But now, thanks to President Trump, we introduce our greatest
and most.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
Delicious product derived from your sugarcane coke came Coca Cola's
new product, Cokekang, available everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Every place you shut cocaine.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Coca Cola statement was that it plans to sell quote
an offering made with US cane sugar, but as a
compliment that's with the enon Ironman to its existing US lineup.
In other words, corn syrup is not being phased out
since it's cheaper. That's no surprise. The federal government props
up sugar prices to the benefit of US producers, particularly
(14:20):
but not exclusively, in Florida, by meddling in markets with
a complicated tariff quota system.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Quote.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
In twenty twenty two, US wholesale refined sugar prices.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Were more than double the world.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Price, the Government Accountability Office said in twenty twenty three,
its report cited estimates that US sugar producers get a
protectionist windfall of between one point four billion and two
point seven billion a year, but sugar users quote lose
an estimated two and a half to three and a
(14:55):
half billion of consumer benefit, making it a net loss. Also,
high US sugar prices are another incentive for confectioners and
food manufacturers to set up shop elsewhere. Translation and I
know you got this, but just to be clear, because
I'm reading it and you're having to drive.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Or do something else.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
We have driven up the prices of US sugar relative
to what sugar costs around the world by preventing the
world sugar from coming to this country using protectionism. Okay,
we've protected American industry by so doing, they don't have
the normal competition that the marketplace would require, which would
force them to drive the prices down. Remember how much
(15:39):
a VCR first costs when they hit the market, then
when everybody was making them, how cheap they got. So
sugar in this country costs a lot, which means that
if you want to manufacture products that incorporate sugar in
the United States, you don't. You move abroad where your
number one input sugar costs a whole lot less. It
(16:01):
was also one of many reasons Wall Street Journals being
a little disingenuous. Here why Coca Cola went to corn
syrup because it's so much cheaper.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Another example of how government.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Interference in the market affects the consumer negative leading wouldn't even.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Notice it.
Speaker 15 (16:16):
Kelberry shot and Monday was the ten year anniversary.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Oh hoo, oh, I just noticed something.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh, lazy Bones got a little fire under his bum
because Jim Mudd came in for two weeks when he
was on suspension and started playing new bumps and we
got a lot of emails which I forwarded to the group.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But oh, I like that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
You're playing fresh new songs for bumps. So boy, two
weeks into his suspension, has come back with the little yeah,
I like this. This is Bledsoe over on the sideline
going yeah, Tom Brady may not ever come off the
field there, buddy, you might have to go up to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I wouldn't even do that to Ramont, but Monday was
the ten year anniversary. Duly noted. Ramont noted, Monday was a.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Ten year anniversary of our partnership with Gary Summners. Gary
Sumners has Texas Grand Ranch, and it was ten years
ago that he invited me out and they were putting
in roads on this heavily wooded thicket.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And I don't know if that was walking. I don't
know if it was south.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Enough to be Walker County or not, but it was
it was North Houston up near Willis Way roughly, if
this was Orange, I could take exactly the exit and
where Ms boujou lid, where Miss Thibodeau lived and old
Man a Bear used to live over, and he'd shoot
(18:03):
a shot gun into the air and let the pellets
run down on us because he didn't like us, and
we'd go steal his girly magazines and pornold magazines or
whatever you want to call it, and then he would
shoot b B guns at us. But I don't know
North Houston quite quite as well. But anyway, and Texas
Grand Range started and I went out and wanted me
to see it, and we filmed a TV commercial and
(18:26):
they realized that all the results were coming from the
from our radio program, from you, not from the TV,
so they just put all their money on that bet.
The bank within three months became our biggest show sponsor.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Millions of dollars they spent on our show.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
And many many, many many million dollars they made back
because our listeners fell in love with the property. I
got to drive the steamroller James Taylor style and it
was this big I don't know what there's you heavy
industrial guys. Angus Davis at Texas State Reynolds one was called,
but I don't know what it's called. It's just a
(19:02):
big old roller and like a rolling pin. But you're
up on top of it, and we're on this black
top road that's going through the property and they're still
cutting swaths through early phases, and it was just incredible
the reaction we got.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I take a lot of pride.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
In our partnerships and the results we get and the
emails I get back from you when you say I
got one during the break, Hey, what's the lady's name
that does the wheels and estates and planning for the
afterlife and putting your estate in order? And in ten
seconds I can say Christine, I got it. Christine Weaver
at Auto Populates copy here.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
You'll love her. Boom, move on.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I love that part of what we do. So that
was ten years ago. Since then, Texas Grand Ranch sold out.
Everyone loved it. They were able to locate land east
of forty five became Republic Grand Ranch, which they named
after Republic Country Club, and there's still some phases left,
(20:06):
but that is almost sold out. Incredible, and so now
you go out there and it's like it's like our
own little Michael Berry Show community. It's cops and firefighters
and veterans and small business owners and everyone loves to
meet their neighbors because they all know they share their values.
I got an email from Robert Reese this morning that
(20:28):
he sent to all of the show sponsors that he represents.
He's one of our top salesmen. He and Grant Patterson.
He and Grant Patterson of the two that sell our
show more than anybody. And he was promoting his show
sponsors to our other show sponsors. Redstone Payment Solutions, credit
card processing, Lamont Brands, promotional items, Percento Technology, It Solutions, CCS,
(20:52):
Presentation Systems, Audio visual Needs, utility, tax removers, they set
you up for tax exemptions on your electric gas usage,
and OOPS cleaning commercial and residential cleaning services. And I
say all that to say this. He manages relationships for
some of our show sponsors, and his job in managing
(21:12):
that relationship is making sure their monthly payment is in
and making sure that I know what's going on with
their business so that I can talk about them on
the air and make sure that our partnership, it's like
a marriage, our relationship is working that whatever they need,
I'm taking care of and vice versa. And I say
all that to say this, that's our business model. That's
(21:34):
how I get to do what I do. That's how
our team gets paid. Our team are no longer employees
of iHeart. They're all part of Alamo Marketing, my company.
And so we've got a big team. We have a
team as big as rush Hat at his peak. And
that's pretty cool. Not because it's a bunch of warm bodies,
because a lot of people are contributing to the creativity
(21:57):
of our show and to serving you and our show sponsors.
But I say all that to say this, You're not
a competitor of ours, You're not a rival of ours.
If you, in the course of your daily endeavors, really
like something, you notice that a vendor that you do
(22:19):
business with, or a donut shop that you love, mister
Wynn or mister Trann at the donut shop. I can
say that, Ramon, because ninety nine percent of donut shops
are now owned by Vietnamese. I can use Vietnamese names.
And besides, I can still use Vietnamese names. If I
said Smith and Jones, you wouldn't have complained anyway. You
know what I liked about you being gone for two weeks.
(22:41):
If I'm being honest, your suspension, everything, everything.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Who didn't interrupt me Jim Mudd when I was in
the middle of making a really good point. Jim Mudd
didn't interrupt.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
No, ten thirty every morning he'd say I'm going downstairs
and get my lunch, and I'd say okay. He'd go
downstairs and get his lunch, and was it. It was like, no,
we're not getting donuts. We're not getting donuts, but you
know what I like, and I'm glad you bring that up.
You know what people don't do enough of donuts for
dessert at a restaurant. You can call them Begnet's, you
(23:13):
can call them whatever you want. We ate a restaurant
last night and they had donuts, chocolate filled donuts, and
Michael t ordered them.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He's like, yeah, let's get donuts. You and I like donuts.
I said, oh, well, Son, you know I can't eat donuts.
You want to tear my tony up And he said,
but these are Vignet's.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I said, oh, yeah, what about you went off to
college and came home and smart, Yeah, of course their
bene they're not donuts. Sorry, yeah, let's have that, and
we did, and then we had another one. There were
three to the order, and then we had another one
and Crockett, who does what he always ought, I'm not
going to eat that, and then he's in there just
devouring it. But I say all that to say this,
(23:52):
Robert Reese does that.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
For his clients.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
My show sponsors, so that our show sponsors used our
other show sponsors to do business. But in the course
of your life, the difference you can make. I love
when you use our show sponsors, and I hope you do.
I love when you refer our show sponsors. I love
when you reach out to me. People think I'm going
to be bothered. I'm not, no matter how many emails
I get. Every email I get says, who's the company
(24:15):
you want us to use for roofing, Who's the company
you want us to use for sighting? Who's the company
for jewelry? How do I? I will connect you all
day long. I love that. But I was reading a
survey on what's our generation called again?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What's my generation called?
Speaker 11 (24:35):
You?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Remember baby boomer? I'm not a baby boomer?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
It said, uh, fifty two percent. Oh, you were right
on this part fifty two. Baby boomers prefer to shop
at local, independent retailers versus national chains.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Nearly six and ten.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Agreed that it is more important to get exactly what
they want than the price it may cost.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Baby Boomers tune into radio.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Nearly twice the amount of time with radio compared to
other media or pastime. Optionist loan the Ethereal, the butterflies
with the they're all Duncans, and you know Duncan means
yo yo.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Did you ever see Lion King where it's what on
the NHS?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
We saw it in New.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
York and Michael t wanted to see it and we
loved it, and then it came to Houston at uh,
is that the Hobby Center right next to City Hall.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I think that's where we saw it. Might have been Jones,
but now I think I think it was at the
Hobby Center. And I was worried because when you see
it in New York, they have the permanent set, and
I thought, well, traveling says not.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
It's really good.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It's very it's a visual feast. We did it with
the excuse of taking Michael tea, but it's uh, it's
it's really really good.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It's enjoyable.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
It is yeah, yeah, that whole theme, the whole movie,
the whole I'm sure there's some stuff that I wouldn't
like if I knew what they were actually trying to convey,
but I don't bother, so I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So I heard this.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I guess it was CNN a few days ago, and
Jim pulled this audio. He sends it to me, He says,
can you believe this? So I listened to it and
I tell it, Ramon, will you go ahead and play it.
I'm not going to promote it. I just want you
to listen, and then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 16 (26:47):
The African drum language, which is white boy stole. They
can call it the Morris code. They took the same
pulsation and rhythm, and now they called it the telephone.
And they took the same pulsation and rhythm, and now
they called it a computer, which is nothing but that
drop it. But if you don't the cat test people
to the computer, you don't see it.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
One of my favorite things, and there is so much
of this, is you'll have the black guy and maybe
he's got a boat tied on, he's got his nails polished,
he's got an expensive suit, and he's gonna lay some
things down. He's gonna talk about some things that people
ain't ready to hear, but he's gonna tell it, right,
(27:29):
they're gonna tell stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Y'all don't even know. See the white boy, what he done.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
He stole the telephone from the African, and a reasonable
person would go, telephone from the African. Okay, you have
my attention. Explain, but he doesn't because they've they've placed
two props, they've staged two black women on the stage,
(28:00):
and they're very supportive, very supportive, and they go, so
now you.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Got a chorus of two.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Ladies to whatever he's laying down, and so now he
kind of gets a little, a little cadence. He's got
his pace going. So he's like, that's right. They stole
like he's ever been to Africa, hasn't. They stole the
phone from us, from the bongo drum.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You see what I'm saying. They sow. They stole the
tank from.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
The knife we created from the elephant's tusk. They stole
the airplane from the rock we would throw across the
top of the water. So what the white dude done
done is stole everything from us, put one of his
(28:56):
pat tents on top of it, and left us Poe
and him rich on. This nonsense gets passed around for
some sort of extra for for for the modern modern
curriculum of open mindedness.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Now that you've heard it, let's let's listen to it again.
Speaker 16 (29:21):
The African drum language which just white boys stole.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
They can call it the Morris code.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Okay, stop, play play that one more time and be
ready to stop.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
We're gonna're gonna stop. We gonna break this down.
Speaker 16 (29:32):
The African drum language, which just white boys stole.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
They can call it the Morris code.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
See, if there wasn't an African drum language, then Samuel Morris,
when he created a system by which you would transmit
a sound, he wouldn't know that you could click once
or twice or three times, or dash dash and draw
it out, or he wouldn't have any means. He wouldn't
(30:03):
even understand sound. He would just sit there and look
at it, and he would say, if only I understood sound,
if only there was some way I could make a
clicking racket with metal on metal attached to the wire
using transmission.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
But he couldn't.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
He couldn't, And then, like Livingstone, he had to go
to Africa and he had an epiphany. Oh wait, they're
banging on the bongos.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I could wait a second.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I've got the transmission mechanism. I just couldn't figure out
how to transmit anything. I'm sitting in my office going
but there was no way to transmit my ex hell.
And then I'm like, but that wouldn't go through.
Speaker 17 (30:59):
But if you were to use a percussive effect and
you were to slap it metal on metal, I could
attach that to the wire and it would go through
and they would hear that as a sound, just like
the bongo in Africa, and it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Would communicate and we could create a.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Language just as they did on the Oh well they
didn't have a language from bongo, but still their sound.
I owe that to the African.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Okay.
Speaker 16 (31:30):
Next they took the same pulsation and rhythm, and now
they called it the telephone.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
They look the same pulsation and rhythm.
Speaker 16 (31:37):
And now they call it a computer, which is not
an African drum. But if you don't cat test people
to the computer, you don't see it.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah, you don't see it.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
See see if you're not just sitting around telling black folk,
y'all doneinvented everything, and white people downe stole it. See
w was banging on the bogo, and they over there,
you know, doing whatever they do, stealing from the Indias,
and they corn and stuff, and they don't know, you know,
they don't know what they're doing. And we over here,
(32:07):
you know, trying to show them what the computer could do,
you know, C d ram and you know two fifty
six and then five twelve and things, and they ain't
knowing nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
In white people, they had nothing.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
They done stole gunpowder from the Chinama. And so we
over here we own the bongo, and they're like, oh
that bongo pretty good. You know what I'm about to do.
I'm about to use Linux as my programming language. And
we stuck over here with no shoes on, looking for
running water, and they got the computer and we're like,
that's my computer, mother, and so I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That ain't right. So I'm thinking.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Maybe this was the reason that Rodney Ellis was housing
all the African art and charging it to the budgets
of Harris County governmental departments, because he was using the
African art as an inspiration.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
For how we would
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Improve the infrastructure and the universal basic income and elevate
strategies for Lean Ahead dog GO
