Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Berry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good morning, Michael Berry, but no, you cannot use my bathroom.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, good every buddy.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
This is my little Hamilton pastros.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
What again? And a good morning to the TZAR. Good morning,
Michael Berry. It's Sean Connery. But you had a little
radio show. Pity, I wash it to find it. Good morning,
Michael Berry. I'm all jaked up on Mountain dew. Good morning,
Michael Berry. Good morning, Michael Hello, Hello are you there?
(00:48):
Good morning? You're Michael Berry. How you learned? Did I
read it to my money?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Listen to this?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Good morning Texas in your car, Marty, Texas, and we're
happy to talk about everything.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
We're not wearing that good Marty, Jason, Lady Texas, Laury morning.
We going.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
District gone? Damn Good morning, big win.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Overnight in the Tennessee congressional seat, Democrats were throwing everything
they had. President Trump said everything they had at flipping
a Republican seat Democrat and they failed.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now it's a seat.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That the President won by twenty two percentage points two
years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I am embracing.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I'm sad to say for an absolute slaughter in next
November's midterm elections. And the reason is I am watching
the level of organization and commitment the Democrats have to
winning this election. Democrats put money and effort and lies
and every bit of guile they can into winning elections,
(02:27):
and our side gets a little annoyed. That's about the
best we can do when we are supposed to win
a landslide midterm election when their president is in office,
we end up not achieving what was projected. The Democrats
will scratch and claw. They have a sort of rebel
(02:51):
yell to their approach where they outnumber there whether they
are outnumbered by their opponents, but they out organize, out,
fight out, cheat out whatever it takes to win. And
they hate Trump so bad they want to beat him.
They want to prevent his last two years from being
(03:12):
successful so badly that they're going to do everything they
can in the coming November. And I fear our side
won't be able to match it, won't be willing to
match it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I've also noticed that our side will rally behind Donald Trump,
but not a whole lot more. And I hope that's
a wake up call, but I don't think it will be.
I was driving in this morning Ramon and don't. I
don't know how this came to be, but I'm driving
in and I hear it's rob and then like a
(03:46):
Dean and I'm and the thing about I don't understand
it is it was a Michael Berry endorsement. It was
Republic Grand Ranch. So why would you do it? It's rouble. Yeah,
I know, I appreciate that you endorse them, but why
would they play it's promon when they could have Michael
(04:07):
Berry here?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Mister what mister frump from, I'm mister frump from. I
just I hope they get do they get a discount
on that spot if it's if it's us to me?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Because I was just like I thought, I don't care.
As soon as I heard it's probo, I thought, well,
I flipped the channel. I went and listening to Sam
Alone show or ninety six point is that was still
one o four. I was over there. I was listening
to Ruler Ryan or something, Sam and Maria. I went
looking for stuff from my past. I went looking for
(04:42):
Dan Patrick's Morning show, anything anything, Well.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's rouble. I was looking for Uncle Funky over over there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I just I was like, they got Hudson Harrigan on anywhere,
Moby is Mobi on anywhere, It's Stevens a prude anywhere.
What's on the radio now? I went to looking some
of them. They don't have a host anymore. They just
play music.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They don't even bother.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What's that. They don't even have to be English. Yeah,
some of them. One of them was still playing Gosolina.
I said, dang daddy, he still relevant all these years later.
And then then I ended up on the PBS, the
government sponsored, and they said, and now in.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
The throes of a Brazilian rain for us, we listened
to the very rare parakeet and then all of a sudden,
it's rabon. I take my tahoe to.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Long Star Chevy for updates, maintenance and all that sort
of stuff. And I had to take it to them
because there was a It was making a terrible, terrible noise.
And I got it back and they fixed it. They
moved the Mariah carry Christmas c D. I got my
(06:08):
joke wrong yesterday. I'm gonna tell it again. This time,
I'm going to tell it right, Okay. So I walked
in the zoo we're on, walked into zoo and I
looked over and I saw a piece of toast in
one of the cages. And the guy said, oh, that's
bread in captivity.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Old and I stumbled on him.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Let me tell you, so I went to the zoo
ramon and I looked inside the cage and there was
a piece of toast.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And the zoo keeper looked at me.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
He knew I was confused, and he said, oh, that's
bread in captivity.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Mark this one down as dang bro, it'll grow back.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
In Florida, thug with zero conflict resolution skills assaults his barber,
pulling a gun on him, all because he was angry
that his hairline was cut too far up. Video from
inside the barbershop shows Darius Davis. We'll have any dariuses
where I want to We I mean Darius Darius Davis
(07:12):
forty eight, first arguing with the barber, then leaving and
returning with a gun, assaulted the barber while pointing the
gun at him. Darius is a convicted felon with a
lengthy rap sheet. He was arrested after the incident in
charge with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault
(07:33):
with a firearm, use of a firearm to commit a
felony an improper exhibition of a weapon. They also cited
him for a really bad haircut, to which he said, man,
that was what I was mad about. Samuel Wilson, the
barber and owner of Square buz Beizi in Miami Dade County,
says Davis was his customer for about a year. Wilson
(07:56):
says Davis quote, slap me in the head with it,
choked me out. Court records showed Davis's convictions include cocaine
possession in ninety three, armed robbery charges in ninety three
and ninety eight, burglary.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
With assault in ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Lord of the Department of Corrections record show he was
in prison from March of ninety nine to October of
two thousand and four, and from November two thousand and
six to September twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You know, probably got a good haircut. They got a
good Bible into prison. Now, that's one thing they don't
mess around with.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Forty one years ago today, December third, eighteen eighty four,
such an interesting time in American history. There's nothing that
you learn about from that period. You know, we're post
Civil War and pre World War One.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We haven't even gone down.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
To Cuba with Teddy Roosevelt at the turn of the
twentieth century, but it was the outlaw era in a
fascinating time.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Was on this day.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
In eighteen eighty four, noted outlaw in cattleman Joseph Graves
Olney came to an ignominious end after a colorful and
controversial life. Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burleson County.
You say Burlison or Burlson. You say Burlasson. Now, don't
(09:21):
say it like that's the proper way. I'm asking how
you say it. I'm not asking what is the proper
way to say it. You say Burlasson. Okay, don't think
I was asking what is the proper way. I was
asking how you say it. Okay, you say Burlassona.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm gonna do it both ways, and you told which
one sounds right. Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burlison County.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burleson County. Come first,
became embroiled in a cattle dispute and shot a man
in Lano County in eighteen seventy four, dub Miller used
to live in Lando County on the Lano River.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Uber's barbecue overrated. The following year, he killed a man
named Moses Baird.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know, they don't name white people Moses anymore, technically
they don't. They never named well, they named Hispanics Moises.
Although Russell Lebara has a brother named Moses, and I
always call him Moises, and he's like, my name is Moses.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You call yourself what you want. Your name is Moises.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The following year, he killed a man named Moses Baird,
thereby becoming part of the Central Texas Hill Country's notorious
Mason County War. After mortally wounding a deputy in a gunfight,
Only escaped to New Mexico and established a ranch under
the alias.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Of Joe Hill.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Fleeing a warrant for his arrest, he was in Arizona
by eighteen seventy nine. A rash of cattle rustling and
stage robberies in the early eighteen eighties attracted the attention
of Irp himself, who tried to depend the crimes on Only,
but there was no evidence to indicate his guilt. Only
finally died when his horse fell on him while he
(11:10):
was working on his ranch. That's not really a way
for you know, a badass outlaw to die is have
your horses, have your horse fall on him. And that's
that's downright. As he said, Ignomius, Ignomius, I tell you so,
oh boy in Florida who goes back in and beats
(11:31):
half to death his his barber for cutting his hairline
to hide that story from Local ten in Miami.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Darius Davis is in jail once again after police spent
a few days looking for him following a violent encounter
at a barber shop. Security video from that day shows
Davids walking up back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
They spent a few days looking for him.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do we have a description of our suspect, Well, he
got a real bad haircut.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
They cut it up real high. Yeah, it's cut up
real high.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
We got a bill on the look. We got a
bolo for a blackfellow in the hood. He's got the
only description we have. He's got a real bad haircut. Okay,
all right, okay, I just be going to look out
for a guy with a real bad haircut.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We got to catch him fast before it grows back.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Darius Davis is in jail once again. After police spent
a few days looking for him following a violent encounter
at a barber shop. Security video from that day shows
Davis walking back into Square Biz with a gun and
threatening the owner, Samuel Wilson. Wilson says this was all
over an issue with Davis's hairline. The barber says He's
(12:36):
been doing Davis's hair for a while and never had
an issue before.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He wasn't a man to he had that. He expect
me he would choked me out.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
You got it.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
In the video, you can see Davis forced Wilson to
the couch hit him with the gun. Newly obtained arrest
forms for Davis show police took him into custody a
few days later after a traffic stop. The forty eight
year old was booked into jail before appearing in bond
court over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Multiple times. I did not think he was going to
come around here and come back.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I thought we might have fixed the cuff, but I
didn't think he was going to come back with a firearm.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I told him, man, have a good.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Date the day is facing several charges. The judge put
his bond said his bond at about thirty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He has since posted it according to.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Records dispute resolution skills, dispute resolution skills.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Receding like his hairline.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
You know, for.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
All, when we look at numbers of incarceration and demacrats
will tell you, you know, we incarcerate blacks at this rate
versus whites. There are a number of different reasons for that,
but it has become the cultural norm for some black
(14:03):
people to absolutely act a fool, and it's never over
anything of meaning. The dude cuts your hairline too high,
it'll grow back. Their video, their entire video pages out
there now of black people going into a fast food
(14:24):
restaurant ordering their food and the black employee forgets to
put ketchup in and they come back and tear the
restaurant up. The reality is, you don't see white people
doing this. Maybe white people are doing it at a
ten to one rate, but nobody's filming it. Maybe right,
(14:46):
maybe white people are coming back and beating up the
black employee because of racism. I don't know why the
black people are doing it, but I have a strained
suspicion that this has become a black cultural norm. Maybe
because of how many black people tell me I'm tired
of these foods. I'm tired of people making us look
bad because imagine you were black, right, you didn't choose
(15:09):
Imagine you're black, and you hear stories like this, and
you know that it's true, and you know that it's
gonna be blamed on racism, and you know you've got
a cousin Pooki that does that same kind of stuff,
and you go, why can't they stop this nonsense?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
December eighth is the filing.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Deadline for the primary in March to win your party's
nomination for next November. Now, what ends up happening is
that most people wake up next October and say, man,
(15:49):
how we ain't got any good cannates for nothing? Because
the time for picking good candidates was almost a year ago.
And does Harris County do a good job of promoting
that races are open, that filing season is now. No,
(16:09):
they don't, partly because they've got some folks they want
to protect that if they did have a primary opponent,
they'd be defeated.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Partly because nobody's listening.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
If they did, everybody expects that somebody else will run.
I've sent I've been involved in Harris County politics as
a pure observer, starting in nineteen eighty nine when I
arrived to a going to party events and election night
(16:44):
parties and debates where nobody knew me. Into the nineties
to running for office in a nonpartisan race, but by
that time people knew who I was to commenting about it.
It's a thirty six year span. Itty six years as
an elected official or party official, but thirty six years
of watching it pretty closely and knowing most of the players.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
There are people that I have watched run out of
those thirty six years, for well over half of them,
they'll run for an administrative position.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They'll run for a JP, to a state rep.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
To a city council, to a constable, to a You
can see how many races these people have run, and
occasionally they'll they'll luck out and win one and then
that's over and you wonder, how does that guy pay
(17:49):
his bills? Now, they generally look in dress about the
same kind of if you will, Wieners Wiener's chic, but
it's it's the same kind of person. It's always a guy,
same kind of person, and they just keep running for elections.
(18:15):
And the reason is most people don't have the interest,
and that's unfortunate because in a self governing system there
have to be somemselves to do the self governing, and
most people there is only part of that. I hope
some good people run, but it's kind of like being
(18:37):
the coach of the Little League. Yeah, I'm happy for
my kid to play, but I hope somebody else's dad coaches.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And what do you end up with coaching?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
You end up with David Crook, the guy who thinks
his kid's going pro, so he wants everybody else around
him to, you know, just throw the ball to his kid,
or catch his kid, or put his kid first batter,
but everything for his kid.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You see it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
See it in every sport. He puts his in a quarterback,
put his kid in at point guard. You see the
dad who's coaching for the sole purpose of making sure
his kid gets the ball and all the glory all
the time, run every play, and God help any other kid,
especially if they're better than his kid, because that's the
(19:18):
only reason he's there.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But if no other dads are willing to do it,
what are you left with? Homeowners Association president.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
There's always some tyrant, somebody that was a hall monitor
in school.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Somebody's got a power kit.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know, the person that loves to come around and
knock on your door and tell you can't fly your flag. Well,
my son's a marine. He's in combat right now. Section
thirty eight point twenty two, sub section A three little
three I says no flag flying except on July fourth.
That kind of person. So you end up because good
(19:57):
people won't run, you end up with that dufuss. You
wonder why that person's always the one that's in charge,
because that's the only person that'll do it. Anything that
requires someone to do that, you typically only get the
worst kind of person because normal people want no part
of it. Let me see if I can find the numbers.
(20:19):
I saw the other day a report on the number
of people who have signed up. And here we are,
what's the eighth, So it's the third right now.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's rubble, it's the third right now. And let's see.
I have the numbers here. I'll find it, but it's
not good.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I'll tell you that we've got as of yesterday morning,
there are five hundred and forty five current Harris County
Republican Precinct chairman and three hundred two have not filed
for reelection, so that means those seats and.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's very easy.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
You can go on you can go on the Harris
COOUNTYGP dot com. Now, whatever county you're in, people will
send me, hey, if I was to file for this,
how do I do it? I'm just going to go
ahead and say, if you're running for a position that
(21:29):
requires you to organize a precinct and hold elections, and
you can't figure out how to file for that, probably
not You're probably not the right guy. It's amazing to
me how many people think that they may want to
do something, or they have an interest in doing something,
or they really want to register a complaint, or they
(21:49):
really want to file a lawsuit, but they won't spend
ten minutes on the internet figuring.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Out how to do that. That cannot be that difficult.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So whatever your county is, go to your county party,
which is who administers these elections. But Monday at five o'clock,
that's all done. We're going to end up, I feel
certain of it. We're going to end up yet again
on Monday at five o'clock not having every judicial position full,
(22:18):
which means those are benches that the Democrats will hold
by default. Even if we beat them ninety nine to one,
those are seats they're going to hold ninety nine to
one because we don't have a candidate. Jasmine Crockett says
she will hold a special announcement in Dallas at four
(22:39):
point thirty on Monday, ninety minutes. Oh, I guess it
must be sixty at six o'clock, before the state's deadline
for candidates to file their campaign paperwork.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
She is expected to.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Run for the United States Senate from the state of Texas.
She told CBS News Texas next month that she would
only run statewide for the US Senate if the polling
she commissioned showed she could win a general election by
expanding the electorate and attracting new voters.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Dear God, who would that be. I would love for
her to run.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I would love for her to run because that will
scare the but Jesus out of people. Republican voters have
to be frightened. It has to be a Mamdani level frightening.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And you get.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Jasmine up there just cackling and pulling wigs and smacking
her gun gum and making the Zoro sign, and yeah,
you know they'll turn out some new voters, all right, Republicans,
but it's going to take that.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It's got to be a candidate that bad. Yet people
fired up with Michael barry Shaw.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
How you doing this here? Is sir, cute lickam. I
didn't get in there. We could sleep last night. I've
tried and tossed and turned about fourteen or fifteen sheeps.
That's as high as I went. And I start over,
and I went in there and look at TV. See
if you know all them shows is ignorant. Ten eleven
(24:11):
o'clock at nine, ain't nothing on TV. Ted Coppolo, sponge
wig Head sitting up there asking questions on one cham
and Jerry's bringing them Holland and ire To saw that
episode yesterday and then they got the Psychic Friends and
the Tarot Lady own and George Foreman selling some kind
of grill.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's ignorant.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
You know who I mission was on at night and
they've never had nobody as good as him before. You
remember that Migmaiden Man was come out there in hollyhig Go.
He shoining caution with his egg Sam doc sevam.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Some he's here with the baby.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
He drank a lot of liquor. He smoked with a
lot of cigarette. No night, He's there, always know what
you ag. Johnny Hunton, who beat the guests hosts up.
Don't get this week he could be almost eating by.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Did get that MiG ti?
Speaker 7 (25:16):
They can't need such a feeling of claims? Still did
I never got to meet the man. He look fine
lived Johnny cutting.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The way you tell your mom and the my ex
hazard or by.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Governor Greg Abbott has asked Treasury Secretary of Scott Bessant
to suspend CARES tax exempt status.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's see Muslim organization. You know.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
When it gets about election time, Greg Abbott has an opponent. Oh,
he's firing off press releases left and right. He wants
to secure the border and shut down the Muslim terror
organizations and clean up Harris County elections. Oh yes, greg Abbott,
he's got you fooled. When it comes election time, he
(26:12):
gets they get the press operation going, all the things
they're gonna do. Yes, Lord, I may share a consultant
with John Cornyn. I don't know, because come election time
they start sounding mega all of a sudden. You can't
count on them any other time. But when he gets
to be election time. Wooh boy, and there's a lot
of people get excited. They see, see Michael, you say
(26:34):
Greg Abbott wasn't doing anything. He's up for re election.
He's gonna say, you're gonna clean up the Harris County elections.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
We got a lot of fraud.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
We got a culture of fraud in the Harris County
election process.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Remember when they cheated Alex Mieler out of the county
judge race. Remember that we couldn't get them to do anything.
We begged, we shamed, we insulted, I called in a
lot of favors.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Do you know what? They did? Nothing? Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
So we could have controlled the Harris County judges seat,
the mayor of Harris County, We could have controlled the
elections office here, but we don't. Now Rodney does. We
couldn't get the governor to do anything then, and I
said it at the time, it won't be until he
gets his ass beat because of Democrats in control of
local offices that he refused to do anything about. Because
(27:36):
if you know anything about Greg Abbott, if you know
anything about Greg Abbott, and the biggest donors will tell
you this behind closed doors, Greg Abbott only ever cares
about Greg Abbott. I'll never forget ted Cruz was in
the fight of his life. It was a Senate seat.
I think it must have been about eighteen or so.
Let's see, twenty five must have been.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I get the year.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
But he's running against Beto and it's going to be
it's going down to the wire. Everybody knows it, and
Cruises in the fight for his life. Every Republican is
up for office. But Abbot is in an off election.
So it's twenty six. Twenty two must have been twenty
two or eighteen. Might have been eighteen, Actually I think
it was eighteen. Yeah, because Trump came down and the
(28:26):
elections in November, and we're trying to do everything we
can to hold on to the Senate seat for Republicans
and Cruises in the fight of his life and it
wasn't clear he was going to win at the time,
and Republicans are doing everything. Donors are trying to figure out, all, right,
where do we.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Spend the money?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
And I'm at an event back in the back where
the big money boys are, and the only thing they
wanted to talk about was that Greg Abbott that morning
had sent out a fundraising notice for a fundraise for
about October tenth, maybe October fifteenth, a fundraiser in the
(29:07):
middle of October before the November election.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
What in the world are you doing.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
The last thing we need is anyone diverting cash to
your campaign.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
What in the world are you doing?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
He wasn't him on the ballot, and he was sitting
on the one thing he does is stockpile a bunch
of cash that scares.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Off people from running from him for him.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
So here was a guy as tone deaf, the most
spoiled brat in all of Texas politics, in all of
Republican politics, and here he was trying to raise money.
And the truth is, if you knew who the guys
were that we're bitching about it, sure they all went
(30:00):
to this event, and I'm sure they all wrote him
an ice check, and never not.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Rolled him over in the corner and said, dude, what
in the hell are you doing? This is obnoxious, This
is absolutely obnoxious. I really don't care who likes me
or doesn't like me for saying it. And I realize
that a lot of people who don't know anything about
politics will say, how come you're always criticizing Republicans.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You need to focus on our democrats.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I focus plenty on the Democrats, but not focusing on
Republicans is how you lose racism. You end up with
John Cornyn's, you end up with bad candidates. You end
up with Republicans like Dan Crenshaw who will spit in
your face.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
You end up with people in office who never do
what you want done, and you can't figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I said, how is it we got the House, a Senate,
and the White House and we still can't get anything done.
Well because some of the Republicans. You don't want me
to criticize them. Some of the Republicans won't get anything
done because they don't really actually believe what you do.
If they're in a Republican majority district, they just say
they're Republican. They don't really want to get anything done.
(31:14):
Most people that get into politics have no intention of
accomplishing anything.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
They like being an elected office. It's like class president.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Wherever they go, governor congressman, senator.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
They love it.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It's a thrill. They feel like they've made it. They're
a popular person. People know their name, they get invited
to speak, and people, oh the Chambers of Commerce, we
have today the most High House representative from District one
thirty one. He's up there at Austin doing it and
(31:48):
they love it. They love the attention and the acclaim.
They're not a nobody anymore. They're a somebody. Just don't
ask them to do anything. And that's why for all
those years we never closed the border. We could have
had Republicans in during during much of that time. It's
why we never get property tax reform. They promised to
cut the property tax. Our constitution says we can't have
(32:11):
an income tax.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
What tax do you think? We're going to eliminate property
taxes
Speaker 4 (32:16):
And replace it with what we're going to eliminate it,
and people still vote for it because we're stupid
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Berry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good morning, Michael Berry, but no, you cannot use my bathroom.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, good every buddy.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
This is my little Hamilton pastros.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
What again? And a good morning to the TZAR. Good morning,
Michael Berry. It's Sean Connery. But you had a little
radio show. Pity, I wash it to find it. Good morning,
Michael Berry. I'm all jaked up on Mountain dew. Good morning,
Michael Berry. Good morning, Michael Hello, Hello are you there?
(00:48):
Good morning? You're Michael Berry. How you learned? Did I
read it to my money?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Listen to this?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Good morning Texas in your car, Marty, Texas, and we're
happy to talk about everything.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
We're not wearing that good Marty, Jason, Lady Texas, Laury morning.
We going.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
District gone? Damn Good morning, big win.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Overnight in the Tennessee congressional seat, Democrats were throwing everything
they had. President Trump said everything they had at flipping
a Republican seat Democrat and they failed.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now it's a seat.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That the President won by twenty two percentage points two
years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I am embracing.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I'm sad to say for an absolute slaughter in next
November's midterm elections. And the reason is I am watching
the level of organization and commitment the Democrats have to
winning this election. Democrats put money and effort and lies
and every bit of guile they can into winning elections,
(02:27):
and our side gets a little annoyed. That's about the
best we can do when we are supposed to win
a landslide midterm election when their president is in office,
we end up not achieving what was projected. The Democrats
will scratch and claw. They have a sort of rebel
(02:51):
yell to their approach where they outnumber there whether they
are outnumbered by their opponents, but they out organize, out,
fight out, cheat out whatever it takes to win. And
they hate Trump so bad they want to beat him.
They want to prevent his last two years from being
(03:12):
successful so badly that they're going to do everything they
can in the coming November. And I fear our side
won't be able to match it, won't be willing to
match it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I've also noticed that our side will rally behind Donald Trump,
but not a whole lot more. And I hope that's
a wake up call, but I don't think it will be.
I was driving in this morning Ramon and don't. I
don't know how this came to be, but I'm driving
in and I hear it's rob and then like a
(03:46):
Dean and I'm and the thing about I don't understand
it is it was a Michael Berry endorsement. It was
Republic Grand Ranch. So why would you do it? It's rouble. Yeah,
I know, I appreciate that you endorse them, but why
would they play it's promon when they could have Michael
(04:07):
Berry here?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Mister what mister frump from, I'm mister frump from. I
just I hope they get do they get a discount
on that spot if it's if it's us to me?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Because I was just like I thought, I don't care.
As soon as I heard it's probo, I thought, well,
I flipped the channel. I went and listening to Sam
Alone show or ninety six point is that was still
one o four. I was over there. I was listening
to Ruler Ryan or something, Sam and Maria. I went
looking for stuff from my past. I went looking for
(04:42):
Dan Patrick's Morning show, anything anything, Well.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's rouble. I was looking for Uncle Funky over over there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I just I was like, they got Hudson Harrigan on anywhere,
Moby is Mobi on anywhere, It's Stevens a prude anywhere.
What's on the radio now? I went to looking some
of them. They don't have a host anymore. They just
play music.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They don't even bother.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What's that. They don't even have to be English. Yeah,
some of them. One of them was still playing Gosolina.
I said, dang daddy, he still relevant all these years later.
And then then I ended up on the PBS, the
government sponsored, and they said, and now in.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
The throes of a Brazilian rain for us, we listened
to the very rare parakeet and then all of a sudden,
it's rabon. I take my tahoe to.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Long Star Chevy for updates, maintenance and all that sort
of stuff. And I had to take it to them
because there was a It was making a terrible, terrible noise.
And I got it back and they fixed it. They
moved the Mariah carry Christmas c D. I got my
(06:08):
joke wrong yesterday. I'm gonna tell it again. This time,
I'm going to tell it right, Okay. So I walked
in the zoo we're on, walked into zoo and I
looked over and I saw a piece of toast in
one of the cages. And the guy said, oh, that's
bread in captivity.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Old and I stumbled on him.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Let me tell you, so I went to the zoo
ramon and I looked inside the cage and there was
a piece of toast.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And the zoo keeper looked at me.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
He knew I was confused, and he said, oh, that's
bread in captivity.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Mark this one down as dang bro, it'll grow back.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
In Florida, thug with zero conflict resolution skills assaults his barber,
pulling a gun on him, all because he was angry
that his hairline was cut too far up. Video from
inside the barbershop shows Darius Davis. We'll have any dariuses
where I want to We I mean Darius Darius Davis
(07:12):
forty eight, first arguing with the barber, then leaving and
returning with a gun, assaulted the barber while pointing the
gun at him. Darius is a convicted felon with a
lengthy rap sheet. He was arrested after the incident in
charge with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault
(07:33):
with a firearm, use of a firearm to commit a
felony an improper exhibition of a weapon. They also cited
him for a really bad haircut, to which he said, man,
that was what I was mad about. Samuel Wilson, the
barber and owner of Square buz Beizi in Miami Dade County,
says Davis was his customer for about a year. Wilson
(07:56):
says Davis quote, slap me in the head with it,
choked me out. Court records showed Davis's convictions include cocaine
possession in ninety three, armed robbery charges in ninety three
and ninety eight, burglary.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
With assault in ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Lord of the Department of Corrections record show he was
in prison from March of ninety nine to October of
two thousand and four, and from November two thousand and
six to September twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You know, probably got a good haircut. They got a
good Bible into prison. Now, that's one thing they don't
mess around with.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Forty one years ago today, December third, eighteen eighty four,
such an interesting time in American history. There's nothing that
you learn about from that period. You know, we're post
Civil War and pre World War One.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We haven't even gone down.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
To Cuba with Teddy Roosevelt at the turn of the
twentieth century, but it was the outlaw era in a
fascinating time.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Was on this day.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
In eighteen eighty four, noted outlaw in cattleman Joseph Graves
Olney came to an ignominious end after a colorful and
controversial life. Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burleson County.
You say Burlison or Burlson. You say Burlasson. Now, don't
(09:21):
say it like that's the proper way. I'm asking how
you say it. I'm not asking what is the proper
way to say it. You say Burlasson. Okay, don't think
I was asking what is the proper way. I was
asking how you say it. Okay, you say Burlassona.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm gonna do it both ways, and you told which
one sounds right. Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burlison County.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Olney born in eighteen forty nine in Burleson County. Come first,
became embroiled in a cattle dispute and shot a man
in Lano County in eighteen seventy four, dub Miller used
to live in Lando County on the Lano River.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Uber's barbecue overrated. The following year, he killed a man
named Moses Baird.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know, they don't name white people Moses anymore, technically
they don't. They never named well, they named Hispanics Moises.
Although Russell Lebara has a brother named Moses, and I
always call him Moises, and he's like, my name is Moses.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You call yourself what you want. Your name is Moises.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The following year, he killed a man named Moses Baird,
thereby becoming part of the Central Texas Hill Country's notorious
Mason County War. After mortally wounding a deputy in a gunfight,
Only escaped to New Mexico and established a ranch under
the alias.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Of Joe Hill.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Fleeing a warrant for his arrest, he was in Arizona
by eighteen seventy nine. A rash of cattle rustling and
stage robberies in the early eighteen eighties attracted the attention
of Irp himself, who tried to depend the crimes on Only,
but there was no evidence to indicate his guilt. Only
finally died when his horse fell on him while he
(11:10):
was working on his ranch. That's not really a way
for you know, a badass outlaw to die is have
your horses, have your horse fall on him. And that's
that's downright. As he said, Ignomius, Ignomius, I tell you so,
oh boy in Florida who goes back in and beats
(11:31):
half to death his his barber for cutting his hairline
to hide that story from Local ten in Miami.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Darius Davis is in jail once again after police spent
a few days looking for him following a violent encounter
at a barber shop. Security video from that day shows
Davids walking up back.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
They spent a few days looking for him.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do we have a description of our suspect, Well, he
got a real bad haircut.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
They cut it up real high. Yeah, it's cut up
real high.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
We got a bill on the look. We got a
bolo for a blackfellow in the hood. He's got the
only description we have. He's got a real bad haircut. Okay,
all right, okay, I just be going to look out
for a guy with a real bad haircut.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We got to catch him fast before it grows back.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
Darius Davis is in jail once again. After police spent
a few days looking for him following a violent encounter
at a barber shop. Security video from that day shows
Davis walking back into Square Biz with a gun and
threatening the owner, Samuel Wilson. Wilson says this was all
over an issue with Davis's hairline. The barber says He's
(12:36):
been doing Davis's hair for a while and never had
an issue before.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He wasn't a man to he had that. He expect
me he would choked me out.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
You got it.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
In the video, you can see Davis forced Wilson to
the couch hit him with the gun. Newly obtained arrest
forms for Davis show police took him into custody a
few days later after a traffic stop. The forty eight
year old was booked into jail before appearing in bond
court over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Multiple times. I did not think he was going to
come around here and come back.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I thought we might have fixed the cuff, but I
didn't think he was going to come back with a firearm.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I told him, man, have a good.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
Date the day is facing several charges. The judge put
his bond said his bond at about thirty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He has since posted it according to.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Records dispute resolution skills, dispute resolution skills.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Receding like his hairline.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
You know, for.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
All, when we look at numbers of incarceration and demacrats
will tell you, you know, we incarcerate blacks at this rate
versus whites. There are a number of different reasons for that,
but it has become the cultural norm for some black
(14:03):
people to absolutely act a fool, and it's never over
anything of meaning. The dude cuts your hairline too high,
it'll grow back. Their video, their entire video pages out
there now of black people going into a fast food
(14:24):
restaurant ordering their food and the black employee forgets to
put ketchup in and they come back and tear the
restaurant up. The reality is, you don't see white people
doing this. Maybe white people are doing it at a
ten to one rate, but nobody's filming it. Maybe right,
(14:46):
maybe white people are coming back and beating up the
black employee because of racism. I don't know why the
black people are doing it, but I have a strained
suspicion that this has become a black cultural norm. Maybe
because of how many black people tell me I'm tired
of these foods. I'm tired of people making us look
bad because imagine you were black, right, you didn't choose
(15:09):
Imagine you're black, and you hear stories like this, and
you know that it's true, and you know that it's
gonna be blamed on racism, and you know you've got
a cousin Pooki that does that same kind of stuff,
and you go, why can't they stop this nonsense?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
December eighth is the filing.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Deadline for the primary in March to win your party's
nomination for next November. Now, what ends up happening is
that most people wake up next October and say, man,
(15:49):
how we ain't got any good cannates for nothing? Because
the time for picking good candidates was almost a year ago.
And does Harris County do a good job of promoting
that races are open, that filing season is now. No,
(16:09):
they don't, partly because they've got some folks they want
to protect that if they did have a primary opponent,
they'd be defeated.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Partly because nobody's listening.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
If they did, everybody expects that somebody else will run.
I've sent I've been involved in Harris County politics as
a pure observer, starting in nineteen eighty nine when I
arrived to a going to party events and election night
(16:44):
parties and debates where nobody knew me. Into the nineties
to running for office in a nonpartisan race, but by
that time people knew who I was to commenting about it.
It's a thirty six year span. Itty six years as
an elected official or party official, but thirty six years
of watching it pretty closely and knowing most of the players.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
There are people that I have watched run out of
those thirty six years, for well over half of them,
they'll run for an administrative position.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They'll run for a JP, to a state rep.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
To a city council, to a constable, to a You
can see how many races these people have run, and
occasionally they'll they'll luck out and win one and then
that's over and you wonder, how does that guy pay
(17:49):
his bills? Now, they generally look in dress about the
same kind of if you will, Wieners Wiener's chic, but
it's it's the same kind of person. It's always a guy,
same kind of person, and they just keep running for elections.
(18:15):
And the reason is most people don't have the interest,
and that's unfortunate because in a self governing system there
have to be somemselves to do the self governing, and
most people there is only part of that. I hope
some good people run, but it's kind of like being
(18:37):
the coach of the Little League. Yeah, I'm happy for
my kid to play, but I hope somebody else's dad coaches.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And what do you end up with coaching?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
You end up with David Crook, the guy who thinks
his kid's going pro, so he wants everybody else around
him to, you know, just throw the ball to his kid,
or catch his kid, or put his kid first batter,
but everything for his kid.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You see it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
See it in every sport. He puts his in a quarterback,
put his kid in at point guard. You see the
dad who's coaching for the sole purpose of making sure
his kid gets the ball and all the glory all
the time, run every play, and God help any other kid,
especially if they're better than his kid, because that's the
(19:18):
only reason he's there.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But if no other dads are willing to do it,
what are you left with? Homeowners Association president.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
There's always some tyrant, somebody that was a hall monitor
in school.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Somebody's got a power kit.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You know, the person that loves to come around and
knock on your door and tell you can't fly your flag. Well,
my son's a marine. He's in combat right now. Section
thirty eight point twenty two, sub section A three little
three I says no flag flying except on July fourth.
That kind of person. So you end up because good
(19:57):
people won't run, you end up with that dufuss. You
wonder why that person's always the one that's in charge,
because that's the only person that'll do it. Anything that
requires someone to do that, you typically only get the
worst kind of person because normal people want no part
of it. Let me see if I can find the numbers.
(20:19):
I saw the other day a report on the number
of people who have signed up. And here we are,
what's the eighth, So it's the third right now.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's rubble, it's the third right now. And let's see.
I have the numbers here. I'll find it, but it's
not good.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I'll tell you that we've got as of yesterday morning,
there are five hundred and forty five current Harris County
Republican Precinct chairman and three hundred two have not filed
for reelection, so that means those seats and.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's very easy.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
You can go on you can go on the Harris
COOUNTYGP dot com. Now, whatever county you're in, people will
send me, hey, if I was to file for this,
how do I do it? I'm just going to go
ahead and say, if you're running for a position that
(21:29):
requires you to organize a precinct and hold elections, and
you can't figure out how to file for that, probably
not You're probably not the right guy. It's amazing to
me how many people think that they may want to
do something, or they have an interest in doing something,
or they really want to register a complaint, or they
(21:49):
really want to file a lawsuit, but they won't spend
ten minutes on the internet figuring.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Out how to do that. That cannot be that difficult.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So whatever your county is, go to your county party,
which is who administers these elections. But Monday at five o'clock,
that's all done. We're going to end up, I feel
certain of it. We're going to end up yet again
on Monday at five o'clock not having every judicial position full,
(22:18):
which means those are benches that the Democrats will hold
by default. Even if we beat them ninety nine to one,
those are seats they're going to hold ninety nine to
one because we don't have a candidate. Jasmine Crockett says
she will hold a special announcement in Dallas at four
(22:39):
point thirty on Monday, ninety minutes. Oh, I guess it
must be sixty at six o'clock, before the state's deadline
for candidates to file their campaign paperwork.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
She is expected to.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Run for the United States Senate from the state of Texas.
She told CBS News Texas next month that she would
only run statewide for the US Senate if the polling
she commissioned showed she could win a general election by
expanding the electorate and attracting new voters.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Dear God, who would that be. I would love for
her to run.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I would love for her to run because that will
scare the but Jesus out of people. Republican voters have
to be frightened. It has to be a Mamdani level frightening.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And you get.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Jasmine up there just cackling and pulling wigs and smacking
her gun gum and making the Zoro sign, and yeah,
you know they'll turn out some new voters, all right, Republicans,
but it's going to take that.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It's got to be a candidate that bad. Yet people
fired up with Michael barry Shaw.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
How you doing this here? Is sir, cute lickam. I
didn't get in there. We could sleep last night. I've
tried and tossed and turned about fourteen or fifteen sheeps.
That's as high as I went. And I start over,
and I went in there and look at TV. See
if you know all them shows is ignorant. Ten eleven
(24:11):
o'clock at nine, ain't nothing on TV. Ted Coppolo, sponge
wig Head sitting up there asking questions on one cham
and Jerry's bringing them Holland and ire To saw that
episode yesterday and then they got the Psychic Friends and
the Tarot Lady own and George Foreman selling some kind
of grill.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
It's ignorant.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
You know who I mission was on at night and
they've never had nobody as good as him before. You
remember that Migmaiden Man was come out there in hollyhig Go.
He shoining caution with his egg Sam doc sevam.

I never got to meet the man. He look fine
lived Johnny cutting.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The way you tell your mom and the my ex
hazard or by.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Governor Greg Abbott has asked Treasury Secretary of Scott Bessant
to suspend CARES tax exempt status.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's see Muslim organization. You know.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
When it gets about election time, Greg Abbott has an opponent. Oh,
he's firing off press releases left and right. He wants
to secure the border and shut down the Muslim terror
organizations and clean up Harris County elections. Oh yes, greg Abbott,
he's got you fooled. When it comes election time, he
(26:12):
gets they get the press operation going, all the things
they're gonna do. Yes, Lord, I may share a consultant
with John Cornyn. I don't know, because come election time
they start sounding mega all of a sudden. You can't
count on them any other time. But when he gets
to be election time. Wooh boy, and there's a lot
of people get excited. They see, see Michael, you say
(26:34):
Greg Abbott wasn't doing anything. He's up for re election.
He's gonna say, you're gonna clean up the Harris County elections.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
We got a lot of fraud.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
We got a culture of fraud in the Harris County
election process.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Remember when they cheated Alex Mieler out of the county
judge race. Remember that we couldn't get them to do anything.
We begged, we shamed, we insulted, I called in a
lot of favors.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Do you know what? They did? Nothing? Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
So we could have controlled the Harris County judges seat,
the mayor of Harris County, We could have controlled the
elections office here, but we don't. Now Rodney does. We
couldn't get the governor to do anything then, and I
said it at the time, it won't be until he
gets his ass beat because of Democrats in control of
local offices that he refused to do anything about. Because
(27:36):
if you know anything about Greg Abbott, if you know
anything about Greg Abbott, and the biggest donors will tell
you this behind closed doors, Greg Abbott only ever cares
about Greg Abbott. I'll never forget ted Cruz was in
the fight of his life. It was a Senate seat.
I think it must have been about eighteen or so.
Let's see, twenty five must have been.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I get the year.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
But he's running against Beto and it's going to be
it's going down to the wire. Everybody knows it, and
Cruises in the fight for his life. Every Republican is
up for office. But Abbot is in an off election.
So it's twenty six. Twenty two must have been twenty
two or eighteen. Might have been eighteen, Actually I think
it was eighteen. Yeah, because Trump came down and the
(28:26):
elections in November, and we're trying to do everything we
can to hold on to the Senate seat for Republicans
and Cruises in the fight of his life and it
wasn't clear he was going to win at the time,
and Republicans are doing everything. Donors are trying to figure out, all, right,
where do we.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Spend the money?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
And I'm at an event back in the back where
the big money boys are, and the only thing they
wanted to talk about was that Greg Abbott that morning
had sent out a fundraising notice for a fundraise for
about October tenth, maybe October fifteenth, a fundraiser in the
(29:07):
middle of October before the November election.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
What in the world are you doing.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
The last thing we need is anyone diverting cash to
your campaign.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
What in the world are you doing?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
He wasn't him on the ballot, and he was sitting
on the one thing he does is stockpile a bunch
of cash that scares.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Off people from running from him for him.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
So here was a guy as tone deaf, the most
spoiled brat in all of Texas politics, in all of
Republican politics, and here he was trying to raise money.
And the truth is, if you knew who the guys
were that we're bitching about it, sure they all went
(30:00):
to this event, and I'm sure they all wrote him
an ice check, and never not.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Rolled him over in the corner and said, dude, what
in the hell are you doing? This is obnoxious, This
is absolutely obnoxious. I really don't care who likes me
or doesn't like me for saying it. And I realize
that a lot of people who don't know anything about
politics will say, how come you're always criticizing Republicans.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You need to focus on our democrats.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I focus plenty on the Democrats, but not focusing on
Republicans is how you lose racism. You end up with
John Cornyn's, you end up with bad candidates. You end
up with Republicans like Dan Crenshaw who will spit in
your face.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
You end up with people in office who never do
what you want done, and you can't figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I said, how is it we got the House, a Senate,
and the White House and we still can't get anything done.
Well because some of the Republicans. You don't want me
to criticize them. Some of the Republicans won't get anything
done because they don't really actually believe what you do.
If they're in a Republican majority district, they just say
they're Republican. They don't really want to get anything done.
(31:14):
Most people that get into politics have no intention of
accomplishing anything.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
They like being an elected office. It's like class president.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Wherever they go, governor congressman, senator.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
They love it.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
It's a thrill. They feel like they've made it. They're
a popular person. People know their name, they get invited
to speak, and people, oh the Chambers of Commerce, we
have today the most High House representative from District one
thirty one. He's up there at Austin doing it and
(31:48):
they love it. They love the attention and the acclaim.
They're not a nobody anymore. They're a somebody. Just don't
ask them to do anything. And that's why for all
those years we never closed the border. We could have
had Republicans in during during much of that time. It's
why we never get property tax reform. They promised to
cut the property tax. Our constitution says we can't have
(32:11):
an income tax.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
What tax do you think? We're going to eliminate property
taxes
Speaker 4 (32:16):
And replace it with what we're going to eliminate it,
and people still vote for it because we're stupid

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
