Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh yes, in the midst of tough times, a big
election upon.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Us, the nerves afraid now more than ever.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We have to center ourselves, get back to a good place,
and let's start right here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Heavy d Oh happy day when war, when he war?
When she is away?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Love happy day.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Or happy d or happy day when Jesu's wars.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Many wars, when deals war, she was away.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
He loved's a happy day.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
A happy day or a happy day happy.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Wintered those wars, Oh whenny war winter those war three away.
He gave me a love.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Happy day, Oh happy, oh, a happy deal.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
He Oh happy.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Day, Oh happy day.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
When he thus walls, when he war, when you those war,
she even away. He needed to love the habit.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh good God, let's have a great show today.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
That's not up to me, that is up to you
because Fridays, as you recall our open line Friday, it's
a new concept. We started last week and it went
very very well.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So whether your week has flown or bloom, whether you
have noticed something about the campaign, many of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You have great advice for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
If you just do this, this is your time, something
that you think is happening in the election, that you're
going to talk about, what's happening in the Texas Senate race,
local races, your personal business, brag on your child. I'll
never deny you that. Remember someone who's gone whatever it
(06:02):
may be, something else. Seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. We were
asked after a segment we did last night about Kamala
Harris and her grandmother being supposedly an abortion rights activist
(06:24):
or an abortion activist in India, and we were asked
about that. Remo, let's let's hold off on the weekend
review because I don't want to cut it short because
Chad always has a very clever ending. So we'll play
that in the third segment. So infanticide is a real
thing in India as it is in China, uh and
(06:48):
some other countries. And the history of infanticide in.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
India is this.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
An agricultural economy, which India has been almost exclusively up
until the modern era, where technology and other manufacturing and
other forms of commerce have diversified the economy. India was
largely an agricultural economy, and in an agricultural economy, women
(07:22):
are less valued than men in family farming because of
the differences in strength. As we've discussed over the trans movement,
it was also the case, and in many cases still is.
I ain't never got mine, But in order for a
(07:42):
father to marry off his daughter, there would be a
payment made to the man who took her, as sort
of a prepayment on expenses. You're taking her from my
home to yours, which, of course you've learned, is called
a dowry. Dowry well, even to this day, males are
more valued than females as children. I don't want you
(08:06):
to think that there's some backward country because they're not.
I think their respect for the elderly far exceeds ours,
and our culture could learn a lot from that. I'm
not trying to say that India is a backward place.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Quite a bit different than that. But abortion upon determining
a child's sex is a real thing to this day,
and infanticide, as in the murderer of a child upon
birth when it turned out it was a girl before
you could do a test to see those are real.
(08:42):
So Kamala Harris bragging that her is her grandmother was
out in the Indian villages. I don't believe that's true,
but to the extent it is, it's shameful. And that's
what we lampoon in this upcoming.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Second this Tomway.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Be Married and unmarried men tend to vote Republican. Married
men vote in large numbers Republican. Unmarried men still the
majority of unmarried men vote Republican, but not as many
(09:20):
as married men. Married women vote majority Republican. The only thing,
the only of the four boxes. And remember, everybody fits
into the four boxes. And if you catch yourself saying no,
because as a way of mocking the left, understand that
(09:42):
you are normalizing that behavior by forcing everyone else to
hear it discussed. The truth is not movable. The truth
is real. You can say anything else you want to
(10:02):
be the truth that is not the truth, but it
does not make it the truth. Everyone fits into four boxes.
A married man, an unmarried man, a married female an
unmarried female. It's just that simple. So we've got the
(10:26):
three boxes that vote Republican. And then you've got that
box where the Democrats dominate with sixty eight percent of
the vote. Unmarried women.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
And it doesn't happen by accident.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
This is a group of women. It's a group of
people that they are constantly talking to. They are making
them very aggrieved. They're making them crazy. Frankly, if you
see these women going off and raging, now, this is
a new phenomenon. This is brought on by constantly being
(10:59):
told they're under attack. Everyone's out to get them. They're
a victim. And that's why you see so many of
these videos of women just raging like banshees. Well because unmarried,
Because they need sixty eight percent of unmarried women to
(11:22):
vote for them, they focus on things that they tell
unmarried women that they care about, and that is abortion.
Women don't care about abortion to the extent that Democrats
talk to them about abortion. You know what women care
about being able to pay their bills, being able to
make money, being able to travel, to eat, to have
(11:45):
a nice place to stay, to have a vehicle to
travel around, to have an iPhone that they can be
stuck to, glued to all day long. That's what women
care about. The cost of gas selene, the cost of
their phone bill. Women care about those things. The Democrats
(12:06):
don't talk to them about that they talk to them
instead about abortion, and they convinced them that they have
to stick with the sisterhood of Pants and they have
to have to focus on protecting fellow women because they're
all under attack. Okay, all right, and this might explain
(12:31):
why Kamala Harris is working so hard to establish her
abortion street cred.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I come from a long line of tough, trail blazing
and phenomenal women. My grandmother would go into villages in India,
and because she was Indian and lived in India, and
she would go to the villages in India. It was
a f a story in our family. My grandfather would
(13:02):
say she was going to be the end of his career,
but my grandmother would go into the villages with a bullhorn,
talking with the women about the need to have access
to reproductive healthcare.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Wait a minute, she's trying to convince us that her
grandmother roved from village to village with a bullhorn talking
to women about abortion. This is the creepiest thing she's
(13:33):
ever said. Can you imagine what that sounds like?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Hello, Indian villagers, my name Nana Harris. I am here
to talk about abortion. You used to be able to
get abortion. What is abortion? Well, very important, reproductive.
Speaker 10 (13:55):
Health care for women's No. Abortion not contraceptive, not abstinence. No, No,
abortion is termination of pregnancy.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You'll kill the baby.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Hey, no, you're right.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
It doesn't sound like health care for baby, but trust me,
it is health care for mother to kill baby. If
she doesn't want it, you do hanky panky bang bang
with boy and then you say I don't want baby,
so you kill baby. There are a lot of reasons
why a woman wouldn't be able to kill baby. Maybe
she was raped by brother or transister. No, not transistor,
(14:33):
not radio. You're common her trans sister trans sister. That
is when brother wants to be girl and transitions. She
then uses female wiener.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
To rape sister.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, she not boy.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
She's a girl. Girl can have tallewhacker too. Point is,
if sister has wien her and raps you, you don't
want to keep baby. That is what happened. So we're
trying to do abortion.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Listen, people don't ask so many questions when I'm talking.
This is it. Nana Harris here tell you abortion of importon.
Vote for what I tell you to vote for.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Now.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
I am going to next village to tell them also
about abortion. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So am I really supposed to believe.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
That that's what her grandmother did?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Because guess what, Kamala, I've been to Indian villages a
time or one hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And uh.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And I'm
tired of hearing these reasons from these people. I'm tired
of hearing these reasons from these people. They all have
to have a backstory of why they take these certain positions. See,
(15:52):
she needs a reason that she's a big abortion advocate,
but we all know the reason because she's probably had
a bunch of them during her years of being a
comfort woman to Willie Brown while he was married. But
there's more than that. This is an issue that Democrats
(16:13):
have targeted to hook dumb dames. They're not dumb because
they're dumb, they're dumb because they fall for it. There
are some things Republicans will use to hook dumb people too,
and the consultants know the buttons to push to get
people out to vote. But this is what the Democrats do,
(16:38):
and you can't be a pro life Democrat.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's not allowed.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You won't last. So she has to tell you that
her grandmother was, you know, an abortion rights activist in
the villages of India, and that's what is inspired me. See,
they always have a story Pepa did this, or Mamma
(17:07):
did this, or my parents were civil rights activity.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
It's all bunk.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Take a position that you believe in, stand by it,
advocate for it, or take a position because that's what
you have to do because you're in that party. But
stop with the nonsense on Nana Harris, your grandmother, Stop
with it because nobody believes she's out there.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Hello, I'm back from visiting other villages having having abortion.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
I'm back tell everyone to have abortion. You can have abortion.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm here for it.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
I'm a big advocate for abortion. Kill baby, because sometimes
you do them bang bang.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
You don't want baby, you know, baby loud. So I'm
here to help. Nana Harris signing off. God, you are
listening to them Michael Berry Show Morning, I'll be Brown.
I free.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, I've got folks that have been waiting on the phone,
so I'm gonna get to them. But in the next segment,
remind me to talk to you about my CPA and
my visit to Camp Hope and the weird the weekend review.
Those three things have to be. But I don't want
these people to have to wait any longer. So let's
start with Trenton. You'll be first. You're on the Michael
(18:33):
Berry Show, first call of the week. Make it excellent, sir,
make it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Excellent, mister Barry. The world has been crazy for decades,
but I can pendpoint the time that the crazy really
got kicked into high gear. The Blue Balo Creamery listeria
break of twenty fifteen. We went months without delicious Bluebello
of ice cream. There was black markets, people resorting to
(18:56):
cheap and dangerous alternatives like Blue Bunny. But in August
of twenty fifteen, the treat started returning the shelves. Sometimes
we're good again since that day, and item has been
missing from their offering. That would be the bombstick, a
perfect confectionary treat. Two inches of fudge ice cream a top,
two inches of banana ice cream atop another two inches
(19:17):
of fudge ice cream, the perfect balance of warmth and richness.
This treat filled a hole in everyone's part that has
been missing for almost ten years.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I leave not that my children will not receive social security,
but my heart breaks at the idea of them they
bring knowing the joy of this treat If Trump and
the Republicans vow to bring back this treat, he will
win a ten percent of all votes guaranteed.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Her Trenton, take about applause from applause please, that was
brilliantly written, very well you're writing. I'm going a minus delivery.
I'm going and solid B because you wavered just a
little witch in time, because you couldn't hear from me back.
(20:05):
There's a disembodied voice concept. I'm going a minus just
to give you room to improve, and a request that
you make an uncore production, an encore production next Friday
at eight point fifteen, and we'll put you down as
Trenton's back and you'll there's going to be a high standard.
(20:26):
So don't call in and make your sophomore season suck.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, you have my word, mister Barry, thank you for
the time.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well done, very well done. Take about probably the call
of the week, first call out of the gate. You
want to start strong, but maybe not always that strong.
Puts a lot of pressure on everybody else. That tip
of my hat on that one. Kevin, you're on the
Michael Berry Show, Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Real quick.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
I drive up and down Post Uk Boulevar two or
three times the day every week, and it just gets
to me the waste of money and resources that occurred
there by Metro. And you know, for the longest time
they had the double length party silver buses, and I've
noticed the last month they've gone to a short white
(21:14):
bus that's going up and down all of every day.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So I was wondering, if you.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
Might know, was that as subtible acknowledgement that there's no
riders and they've cut back on expenses, or what's going
on there. I just was chuckling about it the other
day when I saw those short white buses.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I think that putting Alex Meeler on the Metro board,
which was an inspired choice by Commissioner Tom Ramsey, it
was I think the guy who ran point on that
was Mayor James biro Pappus of which which town is it, Ramon,
(22:04):
Bunker Hill Creek Village.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Uh he he.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I think that the fourteen outlying communities get one seat
on the board, which in the past it's always been
somebody that the establishment of city Hall approved of, but
maybe had a little Republican credential. But they would never expect.
They were never expected nor allowed to speak out, and
they didn't. They were just proud to be. Oh, he's
(22:31):
on the Metro board. That's a big because it's a
big deal in this community. It's it's like a board
of trustees at a major university. It's it's a big deal.
They put alex Alexander.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Goley.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
How fast we forget Alexander Alexandra? What's her middle name?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Her maiden name?
Speaker 12 (22:49):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Alexandra blank meeler oh den morele Yeah, Deve Morale or
Morale Gosh, I am losing it. I said that name
a million times in twenty twenty two. I adore her.
I think the world of her. I think she's smart
as a whip. She gets on my nerves because all
(23:13):
she wants to do is talk policy, and I just
can't be focused on policy. But God bless her. I'm
glad she's out there anyway. Putting her on that board
I think was it was an inspired choice. It kind
of keeps a leveling influence. And I will tell you this,
(23:33):
Whitmeyer is always going to be a Democrat. He's always
going to do things that bothered me, but he has
done some things that I think have been very, very
good moves. The jury is out on the new police chief,
just because you don't want to fall in love with
these guys and then they end up being another Sheill.
(23:56):
But this NOI Garcia. I'm getting very good reports from
patrol officers that some of the decisions he's making, and
I'm getting good reports from I don't want to cause
them to get in trouble for this because officers don't
like the union to get along with the chief. But
(24:18):
so far the union is giving him very high marks
for the types of things he's doing. For instance, he
doesn't he doesn't try to adorn himself like Momar Kadaffi
with a bunch of brass all over his and badges
and honors on his uniform. I know people that knew
him in Katie. Matt Brice knew him from the Federal
American Grill in Katie. I know people that knew him
(24:40):
from Katie, and I think he was a DPS and
maybe even a ranger. I know people that knew him
from that, and they say he's very humble guy, which
is what a chief should be. He's a humble guy.
He's out for the officers and he's out for the
public's security. So kudos to him. But back to Whitmer.
He put a woman as the chair of Metro named
(25:02):
Elizabeth Brock, and I've known Elizabeth for a very long time,
and so far she has done a fantastic job at
and I think a lot of this was fulfilling Whitmyer's vision,
which I approve of one hundred percent wholeheartedly, which is
let's get back to doing things that are cost effective
and make sense and stop with all the nonsense. And
(25:24):
I give Whipmyer credit for that, because there was a
cabal of people that had that thing out of control.
So Liz Brock, Alex Mieler.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
To the keeper the stock and on the issue of Metro.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I've been at this almost twenty years. I know how
this plays out. And we get a bunch of emails
from people going, Michael, that's not true. It was a
Metro bustle all the day was dirty.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Look, I spent six years at city Hall. I take
my wins where I can get them. I'm very well,
very well aware how dysfunctional Metro, Houston City Hall and
now Harris County Government. It wasn't always are very very aware.
(26:15):
I'm not going to tell you that I'm going to
defend every action that Metro makes in the next year
or has made in the last year, mostly because I
don't keep up with it like I used to. I
focus on more national stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not going to tell you that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I am going to tell you that Metro is in
a much better place than it has been in a
long time. The waste has been reduced greatly when Whitmyer
came in. And by the way, I'm not going to
I'm not going to support everything Whitmyer does not by
(26:49):
a stretch. I thought the way he fired Sampagna was
chicken bleep. I thought that could have been handled better.
I thought the fact that Pania was held out up
as the reason that the firefighters were treated so badly
for the eight years of Sylvester Turner. I love that
(27:11):
was wrong. That wasn't Penia's fault. That was Sylvester Turner's fault.
Penia was brought here from El Paso to do a job,
and he did it, and that job was to try
to do the best, try to put the best fire
department on the street every day that he possibly could
with the resources he had. Wasn't his fault that the
(27:31):
mayor hated the police, that the mayor hated the fire department,
wasn't his fault. Sylvester Turner believes that the Houston Fire
Department is a bunch of lazy, redneck racists. That's what
he believes, and that was his attitude toward them, and
all these problems. Now, all this big, massive settlement with
(27:54):
the firefighters that Whitmer's made, that's again the this is
the function. We've talked about this one hundred times. You
put on a pound a month for twenty years.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
It's easy to do.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's not gorging yourself. Before you know it, you're one
hundred and two hundred pounds overweight. And now you got
to do something dramatic because you got to make up
for all those years. You don't save money your entire life.
You wake up at sixty and go, I got nothing
plan for retirement. Well, now you can't just put a
small amount like Ramon does every single month into your
(28:29):
retirement account, which would have grown all that way. Sylvester
Turner abused the Houston Fire Department. There is no question,
and I think Pania had to take the fall in
something that I felt. Look, every mayor gets to replace
their heads of department. I just thought the way that
was handled was very poorly handled. I thought endorsing Kamala
(28:51):
Harris was a bonehead, dumb, dumb move, idiotic, just stupid.
Why because if you want to vote for her, fine,
vote for her. But he came into office with a
great deal of political capital in a nonpartisan seat. Because
(29:14):
it was two Democrats, him and Sheila Jackson Lee, he
enjoyed a great deal of support from Republicans who could
have stayed home, and typically do stay home. I hadn't
seen Republicans show up in a mayoral race like that
since two thousand and one. Two thousand and three, also
(29:38):
I dropped out Orlando was a candidate on election day
against Bill White. Republicans showed up not to the same
extent as they did for Orlando in one against Lee Brown,
where he almost won twelve thousand votes. I think was
a difference. And nineteen ninety seven when Rob Mossbacker ran
against Lee Brown the first time and Republicans were by
(29:59):
far are the deciding votes in nineteen ninety one when
climber Wright, through the term Limits movement, got a lot
of Republicans to show up and vote for Bob Lanier.
That all being said, I thought, I thought, I'm criticizing Whitmer.
(30:22):
So you don't think I've become some Whitmyer shield because
I'm not. Because I did support him. I did support
him because I was not going to let Sila Jackson
Lee ruin our city. I was not going to allow
that to extent I could do anything about it. So
I supported Whitmyer and with a vengeance. For that reason,
(30:43):
I will say, by and large, he didn't need to
support He didn't need to openly endorse Kamala Harrison whoever
talked him into that he should fire and never listen
to them again, because he was enjoying the support of
the citizenry as you're the guy to come in and
clean up the mess, and he's been unabashed. There's a
(31:04):
mess down there, and I'm going to fix it. But
it's way worse than I thought. And he's made personnel moves,
bringing in a new chief, bringing in a chief who
is who is a no nonsense dollars and cents x's
and o's fundamentals chief instead of a guy that's all
(31:27):
about himself and wants to peacock around the way some
of the past ones have done. And I wouldn't say
fennerfits into that. I don't think I'm everybody. Every officer
knows who I'm talking about, which chiefs those were. But
he didn't have to endorse Kamalo, and I think that
(31:49):
was kind of a betrayal of good common sense and
a lot of people who supported him to help him
get into the mayor's office and then to use the
capital of the mayor's office because frankly, if his name
was Jim Whitmeyer or Joe Whitmeyer, nobody cares who he
endorsed with the mayor of the city Houston. Endorsing does
matter for ten seconds. And he didn't need to do it.
(32:09):
It was a dumb, dumb thing to do.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
So there you go. I have criticized Whitmer. You know
where my position is. I think Metro is in a
much better place than it was. I give you a
good example. Chad just dug up. I never carried this story.
I meant to KPRCTV. This was a few months ago.
Listen to this story.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Ah, it is the Metro silver Line.
Speaker 13 (32:32):
Pick a seat, any seat, because seats are always available,
and that is what the problem is with the Metro
silver Line. Rider is horrible, but they're doing something about it.
You've probably seen Metro's fancy train like buses on Posto.
They debuted during the pandemic in twenty twenty and it's
(32:54):
been pretty rough. Ridership, though, is up this year. Still,
it's less than ten percent of what was projected. And
those are the figures that sold us on this two
hundred million dollar project.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
Is it going to mess you up though? If they
make it half as often, about twenty.
Speaker 13 (33:09):
Minutes instead of twelve, well, very well, and that's because
commuters really aren't taking this thing.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
We would adjust the frequency of the route. It currently
operates on a twelve minute schedule, and our preliminary proposal
is to adjust that to with twenty minute pay schedule.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
What would you do with the surplus of these fancy buses.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
Well, we certainly have a need for them. We would
the extra buses. We would rebrand those buses. If this
is all food, we still has some steps to go
through
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh yes, in the midst of tough times, a big
election upon.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Us, the nerves afraid now more than ever.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We have to center ourselves, get back to a good place,
and let's start right here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Heavy d Oh happy day when war, when he war?
When she is away?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Love happy day.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Or happy d or happy day when Jesu's wars.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Many wars, when deals war, she was away.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
He loved's a happy day.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
A happy day or a happy day happy.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Wintered those wars, Oh whenny war winter those war three away.
He gave me a love.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Happy day, Oh happy, oh, a happy deal.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
He Oh happy.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Day, Oh happy day.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
When he thus walls, when he war, when you those war,
she even away. He needed to love the habit.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh good God, let's have a great show today.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
That's not up to me, that is up to you
because Fridays, as you recall our open line Friday, it's
a new concept. We started last week and it went
very very well.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So whether your week has flown or bloom, whether you
have noticed something about the campaign, many of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You have great advice for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
If you just do this, this is your time, something
that you think is happening in the election, that you're
going to talk about, what's happening in the Texas Senate race,
local races, your personal business, brag on your child. I'll
never deny you that. Remember someone who's gone whatever it
(06:02):
may be, something else. Seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. We were
asked after a segment we did last night about Kamala
Harris and her grandmother being supposedly an abortion rights activist
(06:24):
or an abortion activist in India, and we were asked
about that. Remo, let's let's hold off on the weekend
review because I don't want to cut it short because
Chad always has a very clever ending. So we'll play
that in the third segment. So infanticide is a real
thing in India as it is in China, uh and
(06:48):
some other countries. And the history of infanticide in.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
India is this.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
An agricultural economy, which India has been almost exclusively up
until the modern era, where technology and other manufacturing and
other forms of commerce have diversified the economy. India was
largely an agricultural economy, and in an agricultural economy, women
(07:22):
are less valued than men in family farming because of
the differences in strength. As we've discussed over the trans movement,
it was also the case, and in many cases still is.
I ain't never got mine, But in order for a
(07:42):
father to marry off his daughter, there would be a
payment made to the man who took her, as sort
of a prepayment on expenses. You're taking her from my
home to yours, which, of course you've learned, is called
a dowry. Dowry well, even to this day, males are
more valued than females as children. I don't want you
(08:06):
to think that there's some backward country because they're not.
I think their respect for the elderly far exceeds ours,
and our culture could learn a lot from that. I'm
not trying to say that India is a backward place.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Quite a bit different than that. But abortion upon determining
a child's sex is a real thing to this day,
and infanticide, as in the murderer of a child upon
birth when it turned out it was a girl before
you could do a test to see those are real.
(08:42):
So Kamala Harris bragging that her is her grandmother was
out in the Indian villages. I don't believe that's true,
but to the extent it is, it's shameful. And that's
what we lampoon in this upcoming.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Second this Tomway.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Be Married and unmarried men tend to vote Republican. Married
men vote in large numbers Republican. Unmarried men still the
majority of unmarried men vote Republican, but not as many
(09:20):
as married men. Married women vote majority Republican. The only thing,
the only of the four boxes. And remember, everybody fits
into the four boxes. And if you catch yourself saying no,
because as a way of mocking the left, understand that
(09:42):
you are normalizing that behavior by forcing everyone else to
hear it discussed. The truth is not movable. The truth
is real. You can say anything else you want to
(10:02):
be the truth that is not the truth, but it
does not make it the truth. Everyone fits into four boxes.
A married man, an unmarried man, a married female an
unmarried female. It's just that simple. So we've got the
(10:26):
three boxes that vote Republican. And then you've got that
box where the Democrats dominate with sixty eight percent of
the vote. Unmarried women.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
And it doesn't happen by accident.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
This is a group of women. It's a group of
people that they are constantly talking to. They are making
them very aggrieved. They're making them crazy. Frankly, if you
see these women going off and raging, now, this is
a new phenomenon. This is brought on by constantly being
(10:59):
told they're under attack. Everyone's out to get them. They're
a victim. And that's why you see so many of
these videos of women just raging like banshees. Well because unmarried,
Because they need sixty eight percent of unmarried women to
(11:22):
vote for them, they focus on things that they tell
unmarried women that they care about, and that is abortion.
Women don't care about abortion to the extent that Democrats
talk to them about abortion. You know what women care
about being able to pay their bills, being able to
make money, being able to travel, to eat, to have
(11:45):
a nice place to stay, to have a vehicle to
travel around, to have an iPhone that they can be
stuck to, glued to all day long. That's what women
care about. The cost of gas selene, the cost of
their phone bill. Women care about those things. The Democrats
(12:06):
don't talk to them about that they talk to them
instead about abortion, and they convinced them that they have
to stick with the sisterhood of Pants and they have
to have to focus on protecting fellow women because they're
all under attack. Okay, all right, and this might explain
(12:31):
why Kamala Harris is working so hard to establish her
abortion street cred.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I come from a long line of tough, trail blazing
and phenomenal women. My grandmother would go into villages in India,
and because she was Indian and lived in India, and
she would go to the villages in India. It was
a f a story in our family. My grandfather would
(13:02):
say she was going to be the end of his career,
but my grandmother would go into the villages with a bullhorn,
talking with the women about the need to have access
to reproductive healthcare.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Wait a minute, she's trying to convince us that her
grandmother roved from village to village with a bullhorn talking
to women about abortion. This is the creepiest thing she's
(13:33):
ever said. Can you imagine what that sounds like?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Hello, Indian villagers, my name Nana Harris. I am here
to talk about abortion. You used to be able to
get abortion. What is abortion? Well, very important, reproductive.
Speaker 10 (13:55):
Health care for women's No. Abortion not contraceptive, not abstinence. No, No,
abortion is termination of pregnancy.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You'll kill the baby.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Hey, no, you're right.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
It doesn't sound like health care for baby, but trust me,
it is health care for mother to kill baby. If
she doesn't want it, you do hanky panky bang bang
with boy and then you say I don't want baby,
so you kill baby. There are a lot of reasons
why a woman wouldn't be able to kill baby. Maybe
she was raped by brother or transister. No, not transistor,
(14:33):
not radio. You're common her trans sister trans sister. That
is when brother wants to be girl and transitions. She
then uses female wiener.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
To rape sister.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, she not boy.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
She's a girl. Girl can have tallewhacker too. Point is,
if sister has wien her and raps you, you don't
want to keep baby. That is what happened. So we're
trying to do abortion.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Listen, people don't ask so many questions when I'm talking.
This is it. Nana Harris here tell you abortion of importon.
Vote for what I tell you to vote for.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Now.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
I am going to next village to tell them also
about abortion. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So am I really supposed to believe.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
That that's what her grandmother did?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Because guess what, Kamala, I've been to Indian villages a
time or one hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And uh.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I don't believe you. I don't believe you. And I'm
tired of hearing these reasons from these people. I'm tired
of hearing these reasons from these people. They all have
to have a backstory of why they take these certain positions. See,
(15:52):
she needs a reason that she's a big abortion advocate,
but we all know the reason because she's probably had
a bunch of them during her years of being a
comfort woman to Willie Brown while he was married. But
there's more than that. This is an issue that Democrats
(16:13):
have targeted to hook dumb dames. They're not dumb because
they're dumb, they're dumb because they fall for it. There
are some things Republicans will use to hook dumb people too,
and the consultants know the buttons to push to get
people out to vote. But this is what the Democrats do,
(16:38):
and you can't be a pro life Democrat.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's not allowed.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You won't last. So she has to tell you that
her grandmother was, you know, an abortion rights activist in
the villages of India, and that's what is inspired me. See,
they always have a story Pepa did this, or Mamma
(17:07):
did this, or my parents were civil rights activity.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
It's all bunk.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Take a position that you believe in, stand by it,
advocate for it, or take a position because that's what
you have to do because you're in that party. But
stop with the nonsense on Nana Harris, your grandmother, Stop
with it because nobody believes she's out there.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Hello, I'm back from visiting other villages having having abortion.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
I'm back tell everyone to have abortion. You can have abortion.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm here for it.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
I'm a big advocate for abortion. Kill baby, because sometimes
you do them bang bang.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
You don't want baby, you know, baby loud. So I'm
here to help. Nana Harris signing off. God, you are
listening to them Michael Berry Show Morning, I'll be Brown.
I free.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, I've got folks that have been waiting on the phone,
so I'm gonna get to them. But in the next segment,
remind me to talk to you about my CPA and
my visit to Camp Hope and the weird the weekend review.
Those three things have to be. But I don't want
these people to have to wait any longer. So let's
start with Trenton. You'll be first. You're on the Michael
(18:33):
Berry Show, first call of the week. Make it excellent, sir,
make it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Excellent, mister Barry. The world has been crazy for decades,
but I can pendpoint the time that the crazy really
got kicked into high gear. The Blue Balo Creamery listeria
break of twenty fifteen. We went months without delicious Bluebello
of ice cream. There was black markets, people resorting to
(18:56):
cheap and dangerous alternatives like Blue Bunny. But in August
of twenty fifteen, the treat started returning the shelves. Sometimes
we're good again since that day, and item has been
missing from their offering. That would be the bombstick, a
perfect confectionary treat. Two inches of fudge ice cream a top,
two inches of banana ice cream atop another two inches
(19:17):
of fudge ice cream, the perfect balance of warmth and richness.
This treat filled a hole in everyone's part that has
been missing for almost ten years.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I leave not that my children will not receive social security,
but my heart breaks at the idea of them they
bring knowing the joy of this treat If Trump and
the Republicans vow to bring back this treat, he will
win a ten percent of all votes guaranteed.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Her Trenton, take about applause from applause please, that was
brilliantly written, very well you're writing. I'm going a minus delivery.
I'm going and solid B because you wavered just a
little witch in time, because you couldn't hear from me back.
(20:05):
There's a disembodied voice concept. I'm going a minus just
to give you room to improve, and a request that
you make an uncore production, an encore production next Friday
at eight point fifteen, and we'll put you down as
Trenton's back and you'll there's going to be a high standard.
(20:26):
So don't call in and make your sophomore season suck.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, you have my word, mister Barry, thank you for
the time.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well done, very well done. Take about probably the call
of the week, first call out of the gate. You
want to start strong, but maybe not always that strong.
Puts a lot of pressure on everybody else. That tip
of my hat on that one. Kevin, you're on the
Michael Berry Show, Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Real quick.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
I drive up and down Post Uk Boulevar two or
three times the day every week, and it just gets
to me the waste of money and resources that occurred
there by Metro. And you know, for the longest time
they had the double length party silver buses, and I've
noticed the last month they've gone to a short white
(21:14):
bus that's going up and down all of every day.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So I was wondering, if you.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
Might know, was that as subtible acknowledgement that there's no
riders and they've cut back on expenses, or what's going
on there. I just was chuckling about it the other
day when I saw those short white buses.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I think that putting Alex Meeler on the Metro board,
which was an inspired choice by Commissioner Tom Ramsey, it
was I think the guy who ran point on that
was Mayor James biro Pappus of which which town is it, Ramon,
(22:04):
Bunker Hill Creek Village.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Uh he he.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I think that the fourteen outlying communities get one seat
on the board, which in the past it's always been
somebody that the establishment of city Hall approved of, but
maybe had a little Republican credential. But they would never expect.
They were never expected nor allowed to speak out, and
they didn't. They were just proud to be. Oh, he's
(22:31):
on the Metro board. That's a big because it's a
big deal in this community. It's it's like a board
of trustees at a major university. It's it's a big deal.
They put alex Alexander.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Goley.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
How fast we forget Alexander Alexandra? What's her middle name?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Her maiden name?
Speaker 12 (22:49):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Alexandra blank meeler oh den morele Yeah, Deve Morale or
Morale Gosh, I am losing it. I said that name
a million times in twenty twenty two. I adore her.
I think the world of her. I think she's smart
as a whip. She gets on my nerves because all
(23:13):
she wants to do is talk policy, and I just
can't be focused on policy. But God bless her. I'm
glad she's out there anyway. Putting her on that board
I think was it was an inspired choice. It kind
of keeps a leveling influence. And I will tell you this,
(23:33):
Whitmeyer is always going to be a Democrat. He's always
going to do things that bothered me, but he has
done some things that I think have been very, very
good moves. The jury is out on the new police chief,
just because you don't want to fall in love with
these guys and then they end up being another Sheill.
(23:56):
But this NOI Garcia. I'm getting very good reports from
patrol officers that some of the decisions he's making, and
I'm getting good reports from I don't want to cause
them to get in trouble for this because officers don't
like the union to get along with the chief. But
(24:18):
so far the union is giving him very high marks
for the types of things he's doing. For instance, he
doesn't he doesn't try to adorn himself like Momar Kadaffi
with a bunch of brass all over his and badges
and honors on his uniform. I know people that knew
him in Katie. Matt Brice knew him from the Federal
American Grill in Katie. I know people that knew him
(24:40):
from Katie, and I think he was a DPS and
maybe even a ranger. I know people that knew him
from that, and they say he's very humble guy, which
is what a chief should be. He's a humble guy.
He's out for the officers and he's out for the
public's security. So kudos to him. But back to Whitmer.
He put a woman as the chair of Metro named
(25:02):
Elizabeth Brock, and I've known Elizabeth for a very long time,
and so far she has done a fantastic job at
and I think a lot of this was fulfilling Whitmyer's vision,
which I approve of one hundred percent wholeheartedly, which is
let's get back to doing things that are cost effective
and make sense and stop with all the nonsense. And
(25:24):
I give Whipmyer credit for that, because there was a
cabal of people that had that thing out of control.
So Liz Brock, Alex Mieler.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
To the keeper the stock and on the issue of Metro.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I've been at this almost twenty years. I know how
this plays out. And we get a bunch of emails
from people going, Michael, that's not true. It was a
Metro bustle all the day was dirty.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Look, I spent six years at city Hall. I take
my wins where I can get them. I'm very well,
very well aware how dysfunctional Metro, Houston City Hall and
now Harris County Government. It wasn't always are very very aware.
(26:15):
I'm not going to tell you that I'm going to
defend every action that Metro makes in the next year
or has made in the last year, mostly because I
don't keep up with it like I used to. I
focus on more national stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'm not going to tell you that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I am going to tell you that Metro is in
a much better place than it has been in a
long time. The waste has been reduced greatly when Whitmyer
came in. And by the way, I'm not going to
I'm not going to support everything Whitmyer does not by
(26:49):
a stretch. I thought the way he fired Sampagna was
chicken bleep. I thought that could have been handled better.
I thought the fact that Pania was held out up
as the reason that the firefighters were treated so badly
for the eight years of Sylvester Turner. I love that
(27:11):
was wrong. That wasn't Penia's fault. That was Sylvester Turner's fault.
Penia was brought here from El Paso to do a job,
and he did it, and that job was to try
to do the best, try to put the best fire
department on the street every day that he possibly could
with the resources he had. Wasn't his fault that the
(27:31):
mayor hated the police, that the mayor hated the fire department,
wasn't his fault. Sylvester Turner believes that the Houston Fire
Department is a bunch of lazy, redneck racists. That's what
he believes, and that was his attitude toward them, and
all these problems. Now, all this big, massive settlement with
(27:54):
the firefighters that Whitmer's made, that's again the this is
the function. We've talked about this one hundred times. You
put on a pound a month for twenty years.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
It's easy to do.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's not gorging yourself. Before you know it, you're one
hundred and two hundred pounds overweight. And now you got
to do something dramatic because you got to make up
for all those years. You don't save money your entire life.
You wake up at sixty and go, I got nothing
plan for retirement. Well, now you can't just put a
small amount like Ramon does every single month into your
(28:29):
retirement account, which would have grown all that way. Sylvester
Turner abused the Houston Fire Department. There is no question,
and I think Pania had to take the fall in
something that I felt. Look, every mayor gets to replace
their heads of department. I just thought the way that
was handled was very poorly handled. I thought endorsing Kamala
(28:51):
Harris was a bonehead, dumb, dumb move, idiotic, just stupid.
Why because if you want to vote for her, fine,
vote for her. But he came into office with a
great deal of political capital in a nonpartisan seat. Because
(29:14):
it was two Democrats, him and Sheila Jackson Lee, he
enjoyed a great deal of support from Republicans who could
have stayed home, and typically do stay home. I hadn't
seen Republicans show up in a mayoral race like that
since two thousand and one. Two thousand and three, also
(29:38):
I dropped out Orlando was a candidate on election day
against Bill White. Republicans showed up not to the same
extent as they did for Orlando in one against Lee Brown,
where he almost won twelve thousand votes. I think was
a difference. And nineteen ninety seven when Rob Mossbacker ran
against Lee Brown the first time and Republicans were by
(29:59):
far are the deciding votes in nineteen ninety one when
climber Wright, through the term Limits movement, got a lot
of Republicans to show up and vote for Bob Lanier.
That all being said, I thought, I thought, I'm criticizing Whitmer.
(30:22):
So you don't think I've become some Whitmyer shield because
I'm not. Because I did support him. I did support
him because I was not going to let Sila Jackson
Lee ruin our city. I was not going to allow
that to extent I could do anything about it. So
I supported Whitmyer and with a vengeance. For that reason,
(30:43):
I will say, by and large, he didn't need to
support He didn't need to openly endorse Kamala Harrison whoever
talked him into that he should fire and never listen
to them again, because he was enjoying the support of
the citizenry as you're the guy to come in and
clean up the mess, and he's been unabashed. There's a
(31:04):
mess down there, and I'm going to fix it. But
it's way worse than I thought. And he's made personnel moves,
bringing in a new chief, bringing in a chief who
is who is a no nonsense dollars and cents x's
and o's fundamentals chief instead of a guy that's all
(31:27):
about himself and wants to peacock around the way some
of the past ones have done. And I wouldn't say
fennerfits into that. I don't think I'm everybody. Every officer
knows who I'm talking about, which chiefs those were. But
he didn't have to endorse Kamalo, and I think that
(31:49):
was kind of a betrayal of good common sense and
a lot of people who supported him to help him
get into the mayor's office and then to use the
capital of the mayor's office because frankly, if his name
was Jim Whitmeyer or Joe Whitmeyer, nobody cares who he
endorsed with the mayor of the city Houston. Endorsing does
matter for ten seconds. And he didn't need to do it.
(32:09):
It was a dumb, dumb thing to do.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
So there you go. I have criticized Whitmer. You know
where my position is. I think Metro is in a
much better place than it was. I give you a
good example. Chad just dug up. I never carried this story.
I meant to KPRCTV. This was a few months ago.
Listen to this story.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Ah, it is the Metro silver Line.
Speaker 13 (32:32):
Pick a seat, any seat, because seats are always available,
and that is what the problem is with the Metro
silver Line. Rider is horrible, but they're doing something about it.
You've probably seen Metro's fancy train like buses on Posto.
They debuted during the pandemic in twenty twenty and it's
(32:54):
been pretty rough. Ridership, though, is up this year. Still,
it's less than ten percent of what was projected. And
those are the figures that sold us on this two
hundred million dollar project.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
Is it going to mess you up though? If they
make it half as often, about twenty.
Speaker 13 (33:09):
Minutes instead of twelve, well, very well, and that's because
commuters really aren't taking this thing.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
We would adjust the frequency of the route. It currently
operates on a twelve minute schedule, and our preliminary proposal
is to adjust that to with twenty minute pay schedule.
Speaker 13 (33:27):
What would you do with the surplus of these fancy buses.
Speaker 11 (33:31):
Well, we certainly have a need for them. We would
the extra buses. We would rebrand those buses. If this
is all food, we still has some steps to go
