Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let's start the show, shall we just to get us
in the right mood. Everybody relaxed, breathing, laughing, enjoying with
a bit of nostalgia that always brings happiness to the people,
and that is our very own Shirley Cue liquor. What
does Shirley Ce have to say for us today? How
(06:03):
you daring this show?
Speaker 7 (06:04):
The cute liquor? I am the constituency Congress ladd at
Large of Range, Texas, Mica Bert hometown. I had went
to this discovery conference on the Democratic Party that crackhead
lady Cockade Jasmine or whatever name is. She was giving
us tips on how to act black.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I never had that there before.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
But she said, okay, Number one, use the word play especially,
don't play with me. She said, that's the number one rule.
Number two she said, don't touch me. She said that
somehow invoke your constitutional rights to be not bothered by
the police. Do not touch me. What she ever said?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Number three?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Oh, when you try and make a parent about something,
even if you do not know what you was talking about,
it is impertinent to clap your hands. This don't matter
whether you test in Congress or is you a Supreme
Court justice, or if you just a colored lady want
to have a dispute with the manager Popeye's girl. It's
(07:11):
like finding I got some clearance from a woman who
know what they're doing.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Could I ask this question, yes, what what you got?
Why she talk like she erudite and speak English? When
she get on the road and have her fingernail dead
and then she gonna talk like she from the fifth ward.
She's an actress.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Do you understand what the actress is?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Actress?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Because a lady who do a thing that they not
meant to to revolve and revolving revolution themselves. Okay, I
don't really care.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
I don't care about the news, but I need my
EBT cards. I guess they had my snigger boys and
a PEPSI co love and all these other things in
my snowball?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Was is in my moss boys?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Is serdy q?
Speaker 9 (08:05):
You can guarantee me.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
That I can't guarantee a damn thing these days, girl,
tell up from the flow up.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
I truly believe that the worst thing that ever happened
to America was slavery, and the best thing that ever
happened to slavery was America and the Republican parts.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Some of you will remember the name of George Conway.
I've told you the story of George Conway before, but
let me do that again. George Conway was married to
Kelly Ann Conway. George Conway is a lawyer, and he
fancied himself a political mover and shaker, and truthfully he was.
(08:55):
He was very ambitious. You come across a lot of
George Conways when you are around presidential politics and even
senatorial politics. George Conway and his wife Kelly Inn were big, big,
big Ted Cruz supporters. They even hosted an event for
(09:20):
Ted Cruz at their apartment in New York, big fancy apartment,
and there were a lot of high dollar Republicans there.
Cruz had a fundraising juggernaut in twenty sixteen and he
raised think about eighty million dollars. It was incredible, incredible
the fundraising operation he had for a guy who'd only
(09:42):
been in public life for a few years. George Conway
and his wife Kelly Inn were huge supporters of Ted Cruse.
When Ted Cruz drops out from the primary in Indiana,
Donald Trump notices that this couple is a power couple
(10:06):
and so he kind of brings them into his circle.
And George Conway wanted to be attorney general, that was
his dream. So he kisses up to Donald Trump and
he's like, you know, honey, come with me to this
event I'm going to be and Trump notices that Kelly
(10:29):
Ann is the one with a great political judgment, not George.
So he brings Kelly Ann into the campaign, and George
kind of tags along, but George figures out pretty quickly.
President Trump doesn't trust my judgment. He thinks Kelly Ann
(10:51):
is the brains of this operation. So Kelly Ann becomes
a top advisor to new President Trump in January of
twenty twenty in his administration, and George doesn't get attorney General,
but he'll settle for advisor to the president. And that's
(11:11):
when the President chose not George but his wife, Kelly Ann.
So I think maybe he felt a little cuck holded here.
I think he felt a little my wife. You think
my wife is more valuable politically than I am. Kelly
Ann became one of Trump's most trusted advisors for a
(11:32):
period of time, ended up at Fox. I don't know
what she's doing now. I haven't seen her in a while,
but I don't watch Fox like I used to. I
just watched clips and read things. But I'm sure somebody
is seeking out her advice, or if not, it's by
her choice because she's a pretty smart cookie. So George
(11:54):
Conway was so angry at all of this that he
went and and took up with a group of Republicans
who fancy themselves the real gatekeepers of Republican intellectualism. These
are the sort of people who brought you the worst Republicans.
(12:16):
These are the sort of people who passed off as
intellectuals within Republican circles and were really just neo con
warhawks who were getting paid by defense industry think tanks,
defense contractors who don't care about the workingmen. These people
(12:41):
and their policies were why we were losing the workingman
as Republicans for a very long time. Well, this really
ignited George Conway's hatred for Trump because it was all
the folks over at the National Review, the Jonah Goldbergs
(13:02):
and the Bill Crystals, and so you have this group
of self described intelligensia who are you know, the intellectuals
you see, and they're the people David Brooks, you say,
and Jonah Goldberg and Bill Crystal, and they're so much
(13:23):
smarter than everyone else. And so Conway took up with
those people. But he took up with those people, and
now they they've all ended up now at CNN and MSNBC.
It's really sad. It's really sad what's become of them.
But George Conway has made it his personal mission to
bring down Donald Trump. So in January of last year,
(13:47):
he made this really embarrassing prediction.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
He's fighting for his life here, he's fighting for his freedom.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
Here.
Speaker 11 (13:55):
These cases, these criminal cases, not the one in New York,
not the civil one. Your money, that's just money. All
that means a lot to him. These cases can put
him to jail. He put him in jail for the
rest of his life. And I think probably Will Trump
will reportedly deliver bo I'm sorry, it's hard to read.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Trump.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Okay, let me let me read it with a straight face.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You can do that.
Speaker 11 (14:23):
It's not possible. It's not possible.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Just Will reportedly deliver reboard of his New York fraud
closing arguments himself.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
Willie.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
My goodness, the cable news gods will be the best
from the heavens.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
To all cable news executive producers wondering what they're going
to do, well, forget forget cable news.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
The late night.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh my god, late night comics are gonna have a
field day on this.
Speaker 13 (14:55):
You know, he does believe that he is his own
best representation, that he alone can fix it. So I
think he probably thinks he is so persuasive and so
charming that if he got face to face with a jury,
they would.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
Come around him, or he might just threaten them.
Speaker 13 (15:09):
He could go eat the attorneys.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
And this is the hat George Conway gave me to
give you, Joe. I feel bad for them as they
watch the closing arguments on Thursday as Donald Trump delivers them.
And by the way, we're reclaiming the red hat you've
made this one mine says no your value.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You know, the real sad part of that is you've
got these people whose whole life is spent trying to
grind an axe over Donald Trump. The only thing that
(15:48):
can bring him any joy in his bloated, sad twilight years.
It's for bad things to happen to Trump, and every
Trump success becomes.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
This further.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Piling of misery on his sad little life. And so
there he sits just eating and drinking and probably throwing
it up all over himself. His wife has left him.
He's in a miserable position, and everyone around him is
(16:29):
praising Trump. I guess Trump's not going to prison for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 15 (16:34):
There is he, George, and you're listening to my son
on the Michael Bade.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
One of the disconnects you see is how liberal media, politicians,
celebrities view rural Americans. Rarely do they come out and say.
Usually they're smart enough not to say, you bunch of
peasants in brad peasants, But sometimes they just cannot help themselves.
(17:06):
Here is Robert de Niro and MSNBC. The only reason
you you rural folks like Trump is because y'all are
too stupid to know any better.
Speaker 16 (17:15):
Find a signal to the people they reach, and I'm
certainly not reaching those people on this program, but maybe
through little soundbites in this and now you know, the
Internet and so on, they're trying to to They're used
to sing Trump do his stuff, and they talk and
they listen, and that's the truth to them, because they
don't listen to anything else. Somewhere way out in the Midwest,
(17:38):
somewhere out out west, in certain places, the rural places,
that's the truth. Because he gets the airtime war and
I think that we need more airtime and just more
push against it. Not I wish that you can't do
this in some ways, but that the the news media
could find ways to kind of ignore or tamp down
(18:04):
nonsense from Trump. It's just total nonsense. But those people
out there and listen to it and assume if it
can be on the air and it's out there, it's
the truth.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
This is a little old, but I wanted to play
it because it puts in. Earlier in the week, I
was making the point you can never ever ever trust
Democrats or their media because nothing they say do they believe.
So Jim Pisaki at MSNBC in April of twenty twenty three,
(18:35):
when Fox fired Tucker Carlson, she said that Fox should
have fired him sooner. Now she's one of the people
who said outsiders should not have gotten involved in getting
Jimmy Kimmel fired. You notice he didn't get fired. They
put a pause on his show, and they put him
(18:55):
back on, and he's back doing groomer videos again. He
is back doing trans gender groomer videos again. But anyway,
she's one of the people who said you shouldn't get
people fired. This is awful, Except here's what she said
about Tucker.
Speaker 17 (19:09):
Crossing But what we do know is that for years
Fox Knews seemed to have an ample reasons, many of
them to oust Carlson and did nothing. Take for instance,
this anti immigrant screen in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 18 (19:24):
We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor,
they tell us, even if it makes our own country
poorer and dirtier and more divided.
Speaker 17 (19:33):
Charming. Then there was Carlson's outrageous January sixth conspiracy theories
like this one, saying it was all an inside job.
Speaker 18 (19:42):
The government knows who they are, but the government has
not charged them. Why is that, you know why? They
were almost certainly working for the FBI. So FBI operatives
were organizing the attack on the.
Speaker 17 (19:59):
Cap obviously crazy. And of course there was his obsessive
promotion of the White House national white nationalist replacement.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
Theory, an unrelenting stream of immigration. But why well, Joe
Biden just said it to change the racial mix of
the country.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's the reason.
Speaker 18 (20:19):
To reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived
here and dramatically increase the proportion of Americans newly arrived
from the Third World.
Speaker 17 (20:28):
Throughout it all, Fox backed Tucker when asked in twenty
twenty one to comment on Carlson's long record of lies
and bigotry, and you just heard a lot of them there.
Fox News plainly said we fully support him.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I never liked Chris Christy. You know, it was going
to be Mike Pince or Chris Christy to be vice president,
and there were a lot of Republicans pushing for Chris Christie.
I've never trusted Chris Christy. I didn't trust Mike Pince,
by the way, either. There are people who wanted Chris
Christy to be president. Chris Christie was never a conservative ever.
(21:07):
And here is Chris Christie on ABC this week talking
about Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York who
went after Trump so badly, and basically saying that that
Trump's White House is basically in Trump's government is like
the mafia, and that's why they're going after her, even
(21:29):
though there's prima facia evidence she committed mortgage fraud that
a fifth grader could understand.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
First off, let's just talk about the Letitia James prosecution specifically,
and I'll get to the broader point. We're talking about
if even if you agree that she's guilty of something,
which I think we have a long way to go
on that we're talking about a total loss of eighteen
hundred dollars eighteen thousand. No, no, George, because that's eighteen
(22:00):
thousand over the life of the loan. She's only had
the loan for five years, So you can't charge somebody
for something that they would have gotten thirty years from now.
If she sold the house, she wouldn't get the entire
benefit of the lower mortgage rate. Here's the difference between
Trump two and Trump one. And I'll say it more
directly than Sarah did. This is no longer the Department
(22:24):
of Justice is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America.
What it is now is a coppo regime who goes
out and executes hits when directed by the dawn to
do so. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
This right, here's what we call an evergreen, evergreen clip.
But I came across it again cleaning out some files
looking for an audio bit. It's President Reagan talking about
the Democrats and how they love to hate. And before
we play it, you know, I was thinking this past weekend,
(23:00):
everything that you enjoy doing, the Democrats would like to
take away. You like to go on a drive, maybe
take a driving trip, maybe go on a driving book vacation.
They want to take away your ability to drive your vehicle.
It's a fact you like to cook out. They don't
want you to be able.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
To eat meat.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You like to sleep with it cool that you feel
you sleep better when it's cool at night. They don't
want you to be able to control that you're murdering
the environment. Everything you do, they don't want you to
be able to do. You like to go hunting, like
take your kids hunting, or go with your buddies hunting.
(23:43):
They want to prohibit that. That's evil, that's mean, that's terrible.
Everything that is enjoyable to you. They spend their miserable
lives instead of pursuing any form of happiness and contentment,
trying to ruin it for you. Now here's what President
Reagan said.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
You ever notice how every time a Republican takes office,
the Democrats start acting like it's the end of the world.
I mean, the minute we cut taxes or trim the budget,
they start screaming that the sky is falling. Now, don't
get me wrong, I admire their consistency. If the stock
market surges, they say it's just helping the rich, and
if it crashes, they say, yep, that's what happens under
(24:24):
Republican leadership. And don't even get me started on foreign policy.
A Republican president could be shaking hands with world leaders
and signing peace deals and they'd say it must be appeasement.
But the minute there's tension overseas, they rush to the
nearest camera like it's Black Friday, saying, see, we told
you the world would catch fire if he was in charge. Now,
(24:47):
I've always said it's fine to disagree on policy, that's democracy.
But if your best shot at winning is hoping the
American people lose, well maybe you're in the wrong country.
Speaker 15 (25:06):
With the Michael Bery.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Earlier this week, I asked for folks to call in
if you had a near death experience and tell it,
and some people shared otherwise, But there were a couple
of people who were still on hold, and I recorded
those calls because I love hearing these stories. So here
were a couple that we stayed around and recorded. David,
you're on the Michael Berry Show, Let's hear your near
(25:34):
death experience.
Speaker 15 (25:36):
Nineteen sixty eight, Tuscaloosa, Alabama student pilot had about thirty something.
Ours exceptional student pilot had two hours of hood time.
Left the airport that morning. Nice calm morning. Take my
ride out to a place called Monville. They're in Alabama.
(26:00):
Fire around for a while, start the head back. See
thunderstorm ahead of me. Try to skirt around it. Not working.
Back then, no GPS. They had omni stations, which was
nothing more than a radio station that you honed in
on to find your airport. Well, they're around two lung
(26:20):
along and all of a sudden, the windshield goes gray.
I mean, you couldn't see half the glass itself. So
try to fall back on my training with the hood time,
which was an introduction to being able to get certified
for IFR Flying Rules Instrument flying. I looked down and
(26:43):
I was in a little cessant one fifty cardinal small
st airplane. There is I hit that stuff. Airplane starts
bouncing up, going down crazy. I look down at the
instruments and everything is going crazy. Altimeters jumping back and forth,
artificial horizons babbling around. I'm getting scared, trying to collect
(27:07):
my thoughts. Nothing's working. Meanwhile, I hear radio transmission from
the tower and he's talking to a charter flight when
out of Tennessee carrying the basketball team, landing in Tuscalousa.
Then I asked for instructions, Well, he cuts back in
(27:30):
the pilot did and then all of a sudden he
picks me up on his radar, and then him and
the tower getting an argument about what a student powering
is doing up without an IFI rating, And I'm listening
to this, and I'm trying to figure out what the
heck's going on, and meanwhile, this little Cardinal airplane is
bouncing all over and I'm trying to figure out where
(27:52):
I'm going. Nothing's working, and what seemed like an hour,
it just kept on and on and on, and finally
I asked what the ceiling was, and the tower came
back and said two. I think it was two hundred
and fifty feet. And by dead reckoning, and what I
(28:13):
mean by that was the only way I could halfway
figure out what my attitude was was to listen to
the sound of the engine, whether it was racing or
idling back, which means I was trying to climb, or
if it sped up I was losing altitude and dead reckoning,
I just kind of aimed it and tried to keep
(28:33):
it level. Finally, I kept easing down, easing down, hoping
to get below that cloud cover where I could get
a visual on the airport. Well, finally I broke out
a little under two hundred and fifty feet right over
what was then Denny Stadium, where a University of Alabama
(28:54):
played football. I broke out over that stadium and I
found he saw the air where the airport was, and
boogety boogety. Here I went to the airport, and meanwhile
the tower and that charter flight were still arguing. I
head for the airport, nailed the landing, believe it or not,
(29:16):
and as soon as I came to a stop, a
golf cart rolled up beside me and said get in.
I said, what about the plane? He said, get in.
They took me and hit me out underneath the control
tower until things cooled down. Well, needless to say, that
put it pretty good scare into me. I continue to
try to get my license after that. But I got
(29:39):
to thinking if I panicked in a situation like that,
and I didn't have any ground school at the time,
I could get in a lot of trouble. I could
kill myself, I could kill people. So I had to
give it up. I came close to getting my private ticket,
but I never didn't make it. Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well you know what good well I can say this, David,
you got a heck of a good story out of
the deal. Thanks for the call. Thanks for sharing it. Tim,
You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 19 (30:07):
Go ahead, brother, Hey Michael. I was probably about four
years old, and we were at Myrtle Beach with my parents,
and I remember bits and pieces of it, but I
can remember enough to tell the story. I wandered away
from the camper, which according to my mother was about
(30:28):
three hundred yards from the ocean. So I wandered away,
and I waited out all the way until the waves
were hitting my chin, which probably wasn't that far because
I was, you know, like three or four years old.
But I remember the waves hitting my chin and me
(30:50):
tasting that salty water and thinking I'm out here pretty far.
I probably ought to go back, So I turned around
and go back, and I find my way back to
the camper. But I'm just toodling along the trail, slapping
leaves with a stick on the bushes, just having a
(31:11):
great time. Well, I walk up to the camper, and
at this time, according to my mother, I had been
gone over an hour. They couldn't find me. They had
tons of people looking for me, couldn't find me here.
I am just happy, go lucky, having a great time
walking back to the camper. So I walk back to
the camper and I start calling for my mom. She
(31:32):
opens the door, sees me, and faints flat out onto
the ground, face down, And the only thing I remember
after that is her absolutely wearing out my buttocks for
wandering away from the camper.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You know, there's a comedia my.
Speaker 19 (31:52):
Near death story.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, no, I you know. I used to see stories
as the kid in the you know, when somebody tell
a story like that, I would see the story as
the kid, And now I see the story as your mother,
you know, as apparently. And it's interesting because there's there's
a comedian I can't remember his name, but he tells
(32:14):
the story of having lost his kid in the in
the mall, and the range of emotions we experience which
your mother would have experienced. And the first emotion is
sheer panic of oh my God, and then it becomes
sheer vulnerability. God, bring me this child and I'll be
(32:38):
a saint. For the rest of my life. I'll be
a vassal for your good. I will never sin again.
Just please give me back my child, please. And then
there is the rush of emotion when you get your
child back, which she would have felt, of excitement, and
then there is that I'm gonna whip your butt for
(33:00):
putting me through that. And it's kind of funny when
you think about it. You know, all's well, that ends well, but.
Speaker 19 (33:06):
Woo oh, yeah, it's funny. The parts I can remember
were the salty water going in my mouth and me
looking around and thinking I'm ten miles out in the ocean, right, yeah,
And then I remember hitting the leaves with a stick,
just wandering back to the trailer like the camper, and
(33:28):
then I remember that whipping to this day.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You know, it's funny, tim the way you described, you know,
kind of in a Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn
sort of style, the way you describe the mindlessness with
which you've got your stick and you're hitting the leaves
as you're ambling back. I wish there was a pill
(33:52):
I could take to put me back to that level
of not just innocence, but but simplicity in life.
It's that time time time time, lock and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let's start the show, shall we just to get us
in the right mood. Everybody relaxed, breathing, laughing, enjoying with
a bit of nostalgia that always brings happiness to the people,
and that is our very own Shirley Cue liquor. What
does Shirley Ce have to say for us today? How
(06:03):
you daring this show?
Speaker 7 (06:04):
The cute liquor? I am the constituency Congress ladd at
Large of Range, Texas, Mica Bert hometown. I had went
to this discovery conference on the Democratic Party that crackhead
lady Cockade Jasmine or whatever name is. She was giving
us tips on how to act black.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I never had that there before.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
But she said, okay, Number one, use the word play especially,
don't play with me. She said, that's the number one rule.
Number two she said, don't touch me. She said that
somehow invoke your constitutional rights to be not bothered by
the police. Do not touch me. What she ever said?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Number three?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Oh, when you try and make a parent about something,
even if you do not know what you was talking about,
it is impertinent to clap your hands. This don't matter
whether you test in Congress or is you a Supreme
Court justice, or if you just a colored lady want
to have a dispute with the manager Popeye's girl. It's
(07:11):
like finding I got some clearance from a woman who
know what they're doing.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Could I ask this question, yes, what what you got?
Why she talk like she erudite and speak English? When
she get on the road and have her fingernail dead
and then she gonna talk like she from the fifth ward.
She's an actress.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Do you understand what the actress is?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Actress?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Because a lady who do a thing that they not
meant to to revolve and revolving revolution themselves. Okay, I
don't really care.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
I don't care about the news, but I need my
EBT cards. I guess they had my snigger boys and
a PEPSI co love and all these other things in
my snowball?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Was is in my moss boys?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Is serdy q?
Speaker 9 (08:05):
You can guarantee me.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
That I can't guarantee a damn thing these days, girl,
tell up from the flow up.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
I truly believe that the worst thing that ever happened
to America was slavery, and the best thing that ever
happened to slavery was America and the Republican parts.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Some of you will remember the name of George Conway.
I've told you the story of George Conway before, but
let me do that again. George Conway was married to
Kelly Ann Conway. George Conway is a lawyer, and he
fancied himself a political mover and shaker, and truthfully he was.
(08:55):
He was very ambitious. You come across a lot of
George Conways when you are around presidential politics and even
senatorial politics. George Conway and his wife Kelly Inn were big, big,
big Ted Cruz supporters. They even hosted an event for
(09:20):
Ted Cruz at their apartment in New York, big fancy apartment,
and there were a lot of high dollar Republicans there.
Cruz had a fundraising juggernaut in twenty sixteen and he
raised think about eighty million dollars. It was incredible, incredible
the fundraising operation he had for a guy who'd only
(09:42):
been in public life for a few years. George Conway
and his wife Kelly Inn were huge supporters of Ted Cruse.
When Ted Cruz drops out from the primary in Indiana,
Donald Trump notices that this couple is a power couple
(10:06):
and so he kind of brings them into his circle.
And George Conway wanted to be attorney general, that was
his dream. So he kisses up to Donald Trump and
he's like, you know, honey, come with me to this
event I'm going to be and Trump notices that Kelly
(10:29):
Ann is the one with a great political judgment, not George.
So he brings Kelly Ann into the campaign, and George
kind of tags along, but George figures out pretty quickly.
President Trump doesn't trust my judgment. He thinks Kelly Ann
(10:51):
is the brains of this operation. So Kelly Ann becomes
a top advisor to new President Trump in January of
twenty twenty in his administration, and George doesn't get attorney General,
but he'll settle for advisor to the president. And that's
(11:11):
when the President chose not George but his wife, Kelly Ann.
So I think maybe he felt a little cuck holded here.
I think he felt a little my wife. You think
my wife is more valuable politically than I am. Kelly
Ann became one of Trump's most trusted advisors for a
(11:32):
period of time, ended up at Fox. I don't know
what she's doing now. I haven't seen her in a while,
but I don't watch Fox like I used to. I
just watched clips and read things. But I'm sure somebody
is seeking out her advice, or if not, it's by
her choice because she's a pretty smart cookie. So George
(11:54):
Conway was so angry at all of this that he
went and and took up with a group of Republicans
who fancy themselves the real gatekeepers of Republican intellectualism. These
are the sort of people who brought you the worst Republicans.
(12:16):
These are the sort of people who passed off as
intellectuals within Republican circles and were really just neo con
warhawks who were getting paid by defense industry think tanks,
defense contractors who don't care about the workingmen. These people
(12:41):
and their policies were why we were losing the workingman
as Republicans for a very long time. Well, this really
ignited George Conway's hatred for Trump because it was all
the folks over at the National Review, the Jonah Goldbergs
(13:02):
and the Bill Crystals, and so you have this group
of self described intelligensia who are you know, the intellectuals
you see, and they're the people David Brooks, you say,
and Jonah Goldberg and Bill Crystal, and they're so much
(13:23):
smarter than everyone else. And so Conway took up with
those people. But he took up with those people, and
now they they've all ended up now at CNN and MSNBC.
It's really sad. It's really sad what's become of them.
But George Conway has made it his personal mission to
bring down Donald Trump. So in January of last year,
(13:47):
he made this really embarrassing prediction.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
He's fighting for his life here, he's fighting for his freedom.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
Here.
Speaker 11 (13:55):
These cases, these criminal cases, not the one in New York,
not the civil one. Your money, that's just money. All
that means a lot to him. These cases can put
him to jail. He put him in jail for the
rest of his life. And I think probably Will Trump
will reportedly deliver bo I'm sorry, it's hard to read.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Trump.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Okay, let me let me read it with a straight face.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
You can do that.
Speaker 11 (14:23):
It's not possible. It's not possible.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Just Will reportedly deliver reboard of his New York fraud
closing arguments himself.
Speaker 12 (14:32):
Willie.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
My goodness, the cable news gods will be the best
from the heavens.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
To all cable news executive producers wondering what they're going
to do, well, forget forget cable news.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
The late night.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh my god, late night comics are gonna have a
field day on this.
Speaker 13 (14:55):
You know, he does believe that he is his own
best representation, that he alone can fix it. So I
think he probably thinks he is so persuasive and so
charming that if he got face to face with a jury,
they would.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
Come around him, or he might just threaten them.
Speaker 13 (15:09):
He could go eat the attorneys.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
And this is the hat George Conway gave me to
give you, Joe. I feel bad for them as they
watch the closing arguments on Thursday as Donald Trump delivers them.
And by the way, we're reclaiming the red hat you've
made this one mine says no your value.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You know, the real sad part of that is you've
got these people whose whole life is spent trying to
grind an axe over Donald Trump. The only thing that
(15:48):
can bring him any joy in his bloated, sad twilight years.
It's for bad things to happen to Trump, and every
Trump success becomes.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
This further.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Piling of misery on his sad little life. And so
there he sits just eating and drinking and probably throwing
it up all over himself. His wife has left him.
He's in a miserable position, and everyone around him is
(16:29):
praising Trump. I guess Trump's not going to prison for
the rest of his life.
Speaker 15 (16:34):
There is he, George, and you're listening to my son
on the Michael Bade.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
One of the disconnects you see is how liberal media, politicians,
celebrities view rural Americans. Rarely do they come out and say.
Usually they're smart enough not to say, you bunch of
peasants in brad peasants, But sometimes they just cannot help themselves.
(17:06):
Here is Robert de Niro and MSNBC. The only reason
you you rural folks like Trump is because y'all are
too stupid to know any better.
Speaker 16 (17:15):
Find a signal to the people they reach, and I'm
certainly not reaching those people on this program, but maybe
through little soundbites in this and now you know, the
Internet and so on, they're trying to to They're used
to sing Trump do his stuff, and they talk and
they listen, and that's the truth to them, because they
don't listen to anything else. Somewhere way out in the Midwest,
(17:38):
somewhere out out west, in certain places, the rural places,
that's the truth. Because he gets the airtime war and
I think that we need more airtime and just more
push against it. Not I wish that you can't do
this in some ways, but that the the news media
could find ways to kind of ignore or tamp down
(18:04):
nonsense from Trump. It's just total nonsense. But those people
out there and listen to it and assume if it
can be on the air and it's out there, it's
the truth.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
This is a little old, but I wanted to play
it because it puts in. Earlier in the week, I
was making the point you can never ever ever trust
Democrats or their media because nothing they say do they believe.
So Jim Pisaki at MSNBC in April of twenty twenty three,
(18:35):
when Fox fired Tucker Carlson, she said that Fox should
have fired him sooner. Now she's one of the people
who said outsiders should not have gotten involved in getting
Jimmy Kimmel fired. You notice he didn't get fired. They
put a pause on his show, and they put him
(18:55):
back on, and he's back doing groomer videos again. He
is back doing trans gender groomer videos again. But anyway,
she's one of the people who said you shouldn't get
people fired. This is awful, Except here's what she said
about Tucker.
Speaker 17 (19:09):
Crossing But what we do know is that for years
Fox Knews seemed to have an ample reasons, many of
them to oust Carlson and did nothing. Take for instance,
this anti immigrant screen in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 18 (19:24):
We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor,
they tell us, even if it makes our own country
poorer and dirtier and more divided.
Speaker 17 (19:33):
Charming. Then there was Carlson's outrageous January sixth conspiracy theories
like this one, saying it was all an inside job.
Speaker 18 (19:42):
The government knows who they are, but the government has
not charged them. Why is that, you know why? They
were almost certainly working for the FBI. So FBI operatives
were organizing the attack on the.
Speaker 17 (19:59):
Cap obviously crazy. And of course there was his obsessive
promotion of the White House national white nationalist replacement.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
Theory, an unrelenting stream of immigration. But why well, Joe
Biden just said it to change the racial mix of
the country.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's the reason.
Speaker 18 (20:19):
To reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived
here and dramatically increase the proportion of Americans newly arrived
from the Third World.
Speaker 17 (20:28):
Throughout it all, Fox backed Tucker when asked in twenty
twenty one to comment on Carlson's long record of lies
and bigotry, and you just heard a lot of them there.
Fox News plainly said we fully support him.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I never liked Chris Christy. You know, it was going
to be Mike Pince or Chris Christy to be vice president,
and there were a lot of Republicans pushing for Chris Christie.
I've never trusted Chris Christy. I didn't trust Mike Pince,
by the way, either. There are people who wanted Chris
Christy to be president. Chris Christie was never a conservative ever.
(21:07):
And here is Chris Christie on ABC this week talking
about Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York who
went after Trump so badly, and basically saying that that
Trump's White House is basically in Trump's government is like
the mafia, and that's why they're going after her, even
(21:29):
though there's prima facia evidence she committed mortgage fraud that
a fifth grader could understand.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
First off, let's just talk about the Letitia James prosecution specifically,
and I'll get to the broader point. We're talking about
if even if you agree that she's guilty of something,
which I think we have a long way to go
on that we're talking about a total loss of eighteen
hundred dollars eighteen thousand. No, no, George, because that's eighteen
(22:00):
thousand over the life of the loan. She's only had
the loan for five years, So you can't charge somebody
for something that they would have gotten thirty years from now.
If she sold the house, she wouldn't get the entire
benefit of the lower mortgage rate. Here's the difference between
Trump two and Trump one. And I'll say it more
directly than Sarah did. This is no longer the Department
(22:24):
of Justice is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America.
What it is now is a coppo regime who goes
out and executes hits when directed by the dawn to
do so. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
This right, here's what we call an evergreen, evergreen clip.
But I came across it again cleaning out some files
looking for an audio bit. It's President Reagan talking about
the Democrats and how they love to hate. And before
we play it, you know, I was thinking this past weekend,
(23:00):
everything that you enjoy doing, the Democrats would like to
take away. You like to go on a drive, maybe
take a driving trip, maybe go on a driving book vacation.
They want to take away your ability to drive your vehicle.
It's a fact you like to cook out. They don't
want you to be able.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
To eat meat.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You like to sleep with it cool that you feel
you sleep better when it's cool at night. They don't
want you to be able to control that you're murdering
the environment. Everything you do, they don't want you to
be able to do. You like to go hunting, like
take your kids hunting, or go with your buddies hunting.
(23:43):
They want to prohibit that. That's evil, that's mean, that's terrible.
Everything that is enjoyable to you. They spend their miserable
lives instead of pursuing any form of happiness and contentment,
trying to ruin it for you. Now here's what President
Reagan said.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
You ever notice how every time a Republican takes office,
the Democrats start acting like it's the end of the world.
I mean, the minute we cut taxes or trim the budget,
they start screaming that the sky is falling. Now, don't
get me wrong, I admire their consistency. If the stock
market surges, they say it's just helping the rich, and
if it crashes, they say, yep, that's what happens under
(24:24):
Republican leadership. And don't even get me started on foreign policy.
A Republican president could be shaking hands with world leaders
and signing peace deals and they'd say it must be appeasement.
But the minute there's tension overseas, they rush to the
nearest camera like it's Black Friday, saying, see, we told
you the world would catch fire if he was in charge. Now,
(24:47):
I've always said it's fine to disagree on policy, that's democracy.
But if your best shot at winning is hoping the
American people lose, well maybe you're in the wrong country.
Speaker 15 (25:06):
With the Michael Bery.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Earlier this week, I asked for folks to call in
if you had a near death experience and tell it,
and some people shared otherwise, But there were a couple
of people who were still on hold, and I recorded
those calls because I love hearing these stories. So here
were a couple that we stayed around and recorded. David,
you're on the Michael Berry Show, Let's hear your near
(25:34):
death experience.
Speaker 15 (25:36):
Nineteen sixty eight, Tuscaloosa, Alabama student pilot had about thirty something.
Ours exceptional student pilot had two hours of hood time.
Left the airport that morning. Nice calm morning. Take my
ride out to a place called Monville. They're in Alabama.
(26:00):
Fire around for a while, start the head back. See
thunderstorm ahead of me. Try to skirt around it. Not working.
Back then, no GPS. They had omni stations, which was
nothing more than a radio station that you honed in
on to find your airport. Well, they're around two lung
(26:20):
along and all of a sudden, the windshield goes gray.
I mean, you couldn't see half the glass itself. So
try to fall back on my training with the hood time,
which was an introduction to being able to get certified
for IFR Flying Rules Instrument flying. I looked down and
(26:43):
I was in a little cessant one fifty cardinal small
st airplane. There is I hit that stuff. Airplane starts
bouncing up, going down crazy. I look down at the
instruments and everything is going crazy. Altimeters jumping back and forth,
artificial horizons babbling around. I'm getting scared, trying to collect
(27:07):
my thoughts. Nothing's working. Meanwhile, I hear radio transmission from
the tower and he's talking to a charter flight when
out of Tennessee carrying the basketball team, landing in Tuscalousa.
Then I asked for instructions, Well, he cuts back in
(27:30):
the pilot did and then all of a sudden he
picks me up on his radar, and then him and
the tower getting an argument about what a student powering
is doing up without an IFI rating, And I'm listening
to this, and I'm trying to figure out what the
heck's going on, and meanwhile, this little Cardinal airplane is
bouncing all over and I'm trying to figure out where
(27:52):
I'm going. Nothing's working, and what seemed like an hour,
it just kept on and on and on, and finally
I asked what the ceiling was, and the tower came
back and said two. I think it was two hundred
and fifty feet. And by dead reckoning, and what I
(28:13):
mean by that was the only way I could halfway
figure out what my attitude was was to listen to
the sound of the engine, whether it was racing or
idling back, which means I was trying to climb, or
if it sped up I was losing altitude and dead reckoning,
I just kind of aimed it and tried to keep
(28:33):
it level. Finally, I kept easing down, easing down, hoping
to get below that cloud cover where I could get
a visual on the airport. Well, finally I broke out
a little under two hundred and fifty feet right over
what was then Denny Stadium, where a University of Alabama
(28:54):
played football. I broke out over that stadium and I
found he saw the air where the airport was, and
boogety boogety. Here I went to the airport, and meanwhile
the tower and that charter flight were still arguing. I
head for the airport, nailed the landing, believe it or not,
(29:16):
and as soon as I came to a stop, a
golf cart rolled up beside me and said get in.
I said, what about the plane? He said, get in.
They took me and hit me out underneath the control
tower until things cooled down. Well, needless to say, that
put it pretty good scare into me. I continue to
try to get my license after that. But I got
(29:39):
to thinking if I panicked in a situation like that,
and I didn't have any ground school at the time,
I could get in a lot of trouble. I could
kill myself, I could kill people. So I had to
give it up. I came close to getting my private ticket,
but I never didn't make it. Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well you know what good well I can say this, David,
you got a heck of a good story out of
the deal. Thanks for the call. Thanks for sharing it. Tim,
You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 19 (30:07):
Go ahead, brother, Hey Michael. I was probably about four
years old, and we were at Myrtle Beach with my parents,
and I remember bits and pieces of it, but I
can remember enough to tell the story. I wandered away
from the camper, which according to my mother was about
(30:28):
three hundred yards from the ocean. So I wandered away,
and I waited out all the way until the waves
were hitting my chin, which probably wasn't that far because
I was, you know, like three or four years old.
But I remember the waves hitting my chin and me
(30:50):
tasting that salty water and thinking I'm out here pretty far.
I probably ought to go back, So I turned around
and go back, and I find my way back to
the camper. But I'm just toodling along the trail, slapping
leaves with a stick on the bushes, just having a
(31:11):
great time. Well, I walk up to the camper, and
at this time, according to my mother, I had been
gone over an hour. They couldn't find me. They had
tons of people looking for me, couldn't find me here.
I am just happy, go lucky, having a great time
walking back to the camper. So I walk back to
the camper and I start calling for my mom. She
(31:32):
opens the door, sees me, and faints flat out onto
the ground, face down, And the only thing I remember
after that is her absolutely wearing out my buttocks for
wandering away from the camper.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You know, there's a comedia my.
Speaker 19 (31:52):
Near death story.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, no, I you know. I used to see stories
as the kid in the you know, when somebody tell
a story like that, I would see the story as
the kid, And now I see the story as your mother,
you know, as apparently. And it's interesting because there's there's
a comedian I can't remember his name, but he tells
(32:14):
the story of having lost his kid in the in
the mall, and the range of emotions we experience which
your mother would have experienced. And the first emotion is
sheer panic of oh my God, and then it becomes
sheer vulnerability. God, bring me this child and I'll be
(32:38):
a saint. For the rest of my life. I'll be
a vassal for your good. I will never sin again.
Just please give me back my child, please. And then
there is the rush of emotion when you get your
child back, which she would have felt, of excitement, and
then there is that I'm gonna whip your butt for
(33:00):
putting me through that. And it's kind of funny when
you think about it. You know, all's well, that ends well, but.
Speaker 19 (33:06):
Woo oh, yeah, it's funny. The parts I can remember
were the salty water going in my mouth and me
looking around and thinking I'm ten miles out in the ocean, right, yeah,
And then I remember hitting the leaves with a stick,
just wandering back to the trailer like the camper, and
(33:28):
then I remember that whipping to this day.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You know, it's funny, tim the way you described, you know,
kind of in a Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn
sort of style, the way you describe the mindlessness with
which you've got your stick and you're hitting the leaves
as you're ambling back. I wish there was a pill
(33:52):
I could take to put me back to that level
of not just innocence, but but simplicity in life.
