Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, luck and load. The Michael
Arry Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
What's up, my people. You know I am your weather man,
bust rhymes. I've come today to give you your weather forecast.
You know today looks like one of those beautiful days.
You know, to be perfectly honest, they ain't a cloud
in the sky.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's kind of weather that you take your girl to
the beach, lay it down and talk to him. Luther
stepped to the michaelphone.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Man.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I wake up in the morning and the sun night hurt,
smile and something strange with then, and yes, heavy on then,
I'm looking at you.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And the world is all.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I have maintained that I don't like comment in real
time as things are happening, despite the fact that the
media business loves to be the first to report the exclusive.
There is also in predictions or supposed reported news, a

(01:32):
bump in activity, more eyeballs, more ears, more clicks, whatever
your medium is for making a statement, whether true or not.
So I went to bed the night of the debate
Tuesday night, thinking, well, it wasn't what we wanted, which

(01:58):
was a knockout punch. I want this to be easy.
I don't want to have to work. I want it
to be obvious that Trump has won and she's lost.
I know it's naive, but in the back of my mind,
this thing is gnawing at me. And so I went

(02:18):
to bed Tuesday night trying to process. And my wife,
who never talks politics with me because I don't ever
want to talk politics when I'm off the air other
than reading and prepping, she said, what do you think?
And I said, I don't know what to think. I
really don't, because it doesn't matter how I viewed the debate.
What matters is whether the people who are for Trump

(02:44):
are willing to work harder to get more votes, whether
the people that, for whatever reason they're voting for Kamala
are no longer going to vote for her, and whether
undecided voters will now vote for Trump if in fact
they vote not voting is in a sense of vote,
and so what will happen sometimes, particularly with black voters,

(03:07):
is elections will be won and lost based on whether
black voters vote at all. Many black voters will say,
I don't like that guy, so I'm not going to
show up and vote. They may not vote Republican, but
their vote is a non vote. It is commissioned by
omission sort of thing. So I woke up yesterday morning,

(03:32):
fresh light of day, and I got to thinking hard
about what had happened, because it wasn't fresh in the moment.
The more I thought about it, now though nothing's really changed.
She put on a good performance, but nothing's really changed.
Trump was Trump, and Kamala wasn't the usual Kamala because

(03:59):
she was rehearsed and coordinated and she delivered I mean,
she delivered her lines. It was the role of a lifetime.
So the Tuesday Night numbers are the Tuesday Night anecdotal.
Now these aren't widespread polls just yet, but the Tuesday

(04:19):
Night numbers of the sit downs with voters that CNN
was doing, for instance, was showing that voters didn't like
what she had said. Her greatest problem is not a
lack of competence that comes up. She's never done anything.

(04:41):
She's not able to do anything. It is her dishonesty.
And I believe this dishonesty is rooted in something more
than a lie here and a lie there. I think
it's the Afghan which withdrawal. I think it's the vaccine lies.
I think it's the economic data lies. I think it

(05:02):
is the Oh Joe Biden's the smartest guy in the room.
These are cheap fakes. I think that has all piled
up to create such a cynicism in voters toward what
they've said that it finally manifested itself in an event
that we all watched at the same time. And now

(05:26):
the New York Times, New York Times, this is not
exactly a conservative outlet headline. Pundits said, Harris won the debate.
Undecided voters weren't so sure. Let me read that again.

(05:49):
Pundits said, Harris won the debate. That's what we went
to bed having heard, uh big win for Kamala. They
had declared she on it before the debate ever happened.
That's the people that are already in the tank. Pundits said,
Harris won the debate. Undecided voters weren't so sure. Well,

(06:16):
the numbers started coming back, and the numbers are showing
that voters moved in Trump's direction. I'll confess I'm surprised.
I have a tendency to I have a tendency to

(06:38):
believe that undecided voters can tend to be kind of boobs,
that they can be swayed. They're the people that buy
the red sports car they can't afford because in the

(06:59):
picture it has Tony Kataine, you know, splayed out on
the front of it, beckoning you to come hither, catch
me me, ma'am. And my thought is, you can dupe
people into doing things who don't make good decisions. But now,

(07:28):
to use the term the liberals use the lived experience
of undecided voters, of real Americans so far outweighs the
glossy brochure that was thrown in front of people that
they're not buying this time. Share the lies aren't working

(07:53):
this time, and that both surprised me, surprises me, and
delights me. We'll get into some of those We'll get
into some of those data points and what they're showing.
The most important movement was that Trump increased his polling

(08:18):
difference with Kamala Harris on the issue of the economy
to in some polls over twenty percent. This is significant.
We're at the sixty forty numbers now. The problem for

(08:39):
Democrats is the biggest issue right now for voters consistently,
the number one is not abortion, which they hope for
The number one issue is the economy, and voters believe
that rightfully, that Trump will have a better shot at fiction.
Michael mary By Diversity Money. I've always had to view

(09:09):
that if this late in the day someone is undecided
who they're voting for, we have to adopt the Democrat
position that we're dealing with an idiot, and you deal
with an idiot the way an idiot has to be

(09:30):
dealt with. You recognize that you're not appealing to their
rational side. These aren't the most cerebral folks in the world.
These are disinterested, if not downright dumb individuals. These are

(09:51):
people who willfully reject what's going on around them because
as they're either too neat, naive, or low capacity to understand.
That has always been my position, and there have been

(10:12):
several parodies over the years. Family Guy did one, SNL
did one to kind of point out what we're dealing with.
The family Guy undecided.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You West, if re elected, would you increase the frequency
of garbage pickup?

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Well, citizen, that's an excellent question, and I thank you
for it. I think it's great we live in a
town where you can ask questions, because without questions, we
just have answers and an answer. Without a question is
a statement.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh I like him.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
He looks me in the eye.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'd like to have a beer with him. I'm voted
for him. I don't understand these people. He didn't even
say anything, and they're eating it up.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
Lois undecids are the biggest idiots on the planet.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Try giving short, simple answers, sir, your question, please, Missus Griffin?
What do you plan to do about crime in our city?
A lot votes.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Because that's what Jesus wants.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Nine eleven was bad.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I can't believe how easy this is, Missus Griffin. What
are your plans for cleaning up our environment? Nine eleven?
Missus Griffin? What about our traffic problem? Nine eleven? And
then there was Saturday Night Live. This election will determine

(11:50):
the future of our country. In this election will be
determined by the undecided voter. It seems that more than
ninety six percent of voters have already made up their
minds about this election. Well, I guess some of us
are just a little bit harder to please. We're not
impressed by political spen or thirty second sound bites.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Before you get our vote, you're going to have to
answer some questions, questions.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Like when is the election? How soon do you have
to decide? What are the names of the two people running?
And be specific, who is the president right now?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Is he or she running? Because if so, experience is
maybe something we should consider.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
How long is a president's term of office?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
One year, two years, three years or life? It's my life.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Frankly, we're not comfortable with that. We don't need to
be electing a dictator. What happens if the president does?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Has anyone thought about who would replace him?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
What's your plan? Gentlemen?

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Can women vote?

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Because if not? As a woman, I've got a big
problem with that. And by the way, if men can't vote,
in my opinion, that's just as wrong. We hear a
lot about our dependence on foreign oil, but just what
is oil? What does it used for?

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Can a woman have a baby just from French kissing
a few herd fart.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
And sneeze the same time we die?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Where's the power cord? We are America's undecided voters. There's
still a lot we don't know, and we want answers.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Low information Voters of America is responsible for the content
of this advertising.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
So for undecided voters to presently comprise. Such a small
percentage of the overall electorate means that people have come
to a conclusion and nothing that can be thrown at
them so far has been able to move them. That

(14:03):
was the best possible performance Kamala Harris can put on.
She can't do any better than that. She is a
C minus student that delivered an A plus performance. I
know you don't want to hear me say that, but
for her, that was the best she could possibly do.

(14:26):
I know you know, but you can't tell me she
walked onto that stage and delivered the worst performance of
her life. You can't tell me you've seen her perform better.
She looked good. Whoever did her makeup and her appearance.
That's the best she's ever looked. She was extraordinarily rested,

(14:50):
so that's a smart thing. She delivered every line. There
is a credible conspiracy theory there that she was wearing
the Novo hearing aid rings. I don't know if it's
true or not, but her performance was so unlike anything

(15:13):
she's ever done that it's certainly credible. You do have
to raise questions because there's nothing beyond the pale for
these Democrats. What they've been able to do what they've
been willing to do, how they've been willing to lie,
their complete lack of any conscience, and yet despite all

(15:37):
of that, they threw everything they had at this and
it didn't work. What we just cannot know. And this
is the great paradigm. The great paradox is that we
tend to project onto the views of that which we

(16:01):
personally believe. And that's why we're shocked by election returns.
That's why we're frustrated, because surely everyone believes the way
we do. And to see that she didn't move the
needle with black voters, she didn't move the needle with
women voters, she didn't move the needle anywhere she needed to,

(16:25):
those moderators quote unquote could not have been more egregious.
We've got some audio and we'll be getting to it
on the show today. We've got audio from CNN Jake Tapper,

(16:46):
of all people, absolutely eviscerting ABC for the way they
handled that debate. We now find out that was her name,
Davis is Kamala Harris's sorority sister, and that they've made

(17:07):
a big deal out of that in the past. Of course,
we know that the head of ABC is Kamala Harris's
best friend. She introduced Kamala Harris to her husband, insisted
that she go out with this guy. Their husbands are
best friends. And this has been going on for thirty years.

(17:30):
The Trump people knew this. It's not a secret. So
you asked the question, why do you do the debate anyway?
People are now running around like chickens with their heads
cut off. Oh my god, they were sorority sisters. Then
Kamala's best friend runs the network. Then they built a

(17:51):
electron smaller for her, and then all but Trump knew
all this. And the gamble was despite all of that,
if she is shown to be who she is, the
voters will respond. And you know what, maybe that's going
to happen this time, on this day in nineteen fifty nine,

(18:11):
your parents' favorite TV show, Bonanza book premiere. Most notable
at the time that it was the first regularly scheduled
television program presented in color. It amazes me how recently
some things happen that you would have expected to have

(18:34):
started earlier. Bonanza would run for fourteen years from this
date September twelfth, nineteen fifty nine to January sixteenth, nineteen
seventy three fourteen seasons, four hundred and thirty one episodes.
It is NBC's longest running Western, the second longest running
Western series on US network television behind CBS's Gun Smoke,

(19:01):
and one of the wrong longest running live action American
series of all time. The show continues to this day
to air in syndication. Set in the eighteen sixties, and
it centers you know, when you watch Jeopardy or any
trivia game, or if remember the old trivial pursuit, Did

(19:23):
you ever play trivia Pursuit? We played Trivia Pursuit so
much that a question would be asked that I didn't
know the year before, but I would know because I
remembered it from the last And then they finally made
an updated game, and all that that was back pre computer.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Now, it's just I love trivia, love, love love it.
But it's funny, isn't it. How when you're playing a
trivia game or someone asks you a trivia question, if
it's something you know, you're insulted by how easy it is,
because that's something you know. And if it's something you

(20:05):
don't know, which is not necessarily a more difficult fact
to have determined and recalled. You think that's unfair or
that's a really tough question. It's all based on whether
you know it or not. So I'm going to let
some of you feel very smart with a couple of questions. Okay,

(20:26):
can I get the bonanza thing again? To get people
in the right mindset, get the minimum right mood. All right,
there's some little old ladies, and even if you little
old men out there right now, we're about to crush
this trivia sentiment. This segment is called trivia for old people.

(20:51):
I just came up with a name off the top
of my head. I didn't really hire a consultant or
any of the game show personally. All right, all right, yeah,
small budget the sacond so little known fact. I didn't
know it. The term bonanza is a Spanish word meaning

(21:12):
a body of rich ore. I did not know that.
When a large vein or depositive silver ore was found
that was referred to as a bonanza. The mother lord
the big hit BOI la.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
So.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
What ranch on what ranch? Fictional ranch that too? Did
bonanza occur? PONDERUSA? Very good, Ramone's I'm impressed. Who is
the person who put the song together. There's actually a
version I had hoped Ramon would play. But let's not

(21:55):
beat up on Ramon today with his lyrics in it.
What is that man's name? J Evans? J Evans? Is
his name? A nice Jewish fellow? That too? Yep, let's see.

(22:16):
Bonanza was ranked number forty three on TV Guide's fifty
Greatest TV Shows of All Time, one of the sixty
greatest dramas of all time. The time period for the
television series is roughly between what We'll say, what decade?
What decade eighteen sixty one to eighteen sixty seven, shortly

(22:39):
after the American Civil War. Coinciding with the period, the
Nevada Territory became a US state. During the summer of
seventy two, NBC aired reruns of episodes from the sixty
seven to seventy period in primetime on Tuesday under the
title Ponderosa. All right, here we go. Here's here's your

(23:07):
trivia for you old folks to seem smart again. Just
when you think all that used, this information you've retained
over all these years, nobody cares about I do. I'll
start easy. The show chronicles the weekly adventures of the
Cartwright family, headed by the thrice widowed patriarch Ben Cartwright,

(23:31):
played by what great actor, Yes, that would be Lorne Green.
Lorne Green is the answer. Old people slap their their
knee when they miss up. So there's probably a lot
of little old ladies slap their knees right now. Maybe
some little men too. He had three sons, each by

(23:54):
a different wife. The eldest was the urbane architect Adam mccartwright,
who played Adam cart Right, you don't know this one.
We do know a lot, lot lot. He also played
the chief surgeon in the TV show Trapper John MD.

(24:18):
That's more how you would recognize him, Parnell Roberts. He
built the ranch house. The second was the warm and
lovable giant Eric hass Cartwright. Everybody should know this one legend,
absolute legend of a man from de Kalb, Texas, and

(24:41):
that was Dan Blocker. And the youngest was the hot
headed and impetuous Joseph or Little Joe, played by this
man's daughter is an adorable character on the TV show Yellowstone.
He would go on to fame on Little House on
the Prairie and reverse mortgage ads or something. I don't

(25:03):
remember what kind of ads he does, and that would,
of course be Michael Landon the Family's cook was Chinese
immigrant pop sing played by Victor sin Young. A good
show at these.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Children speak Chinese and spanness Michael Berry's shoe.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Richard, You're on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program, Sir.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Uh? I sent you some emails? Did you get those?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Is this the Genesis Project?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Richard? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, I saw one of them, Richard. I I it's
hard for people to understand, and I get a lot
of emails, so I'm reading them. Yeah I didn't. I
didn't jump up at that moment say I got Richard's EMO.
But I'm sure it's in there.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Okay. Well, the reason I'm asking is there is a
reason why Tamara Theirs cannot tell the Jordan.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Is this part of the Genesis Project?

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well, it's the stuff that I ran across. I'm going
to send you a document free documents, Okay. The first
one is, well, the thirteen Tactics of wils for Radicals.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
The second one is and that is Soli Lynsk on
the Radical uh Wilse for Radicals. The other is Fowered
and PEBBN and it's the I Believe eight Stand to Socialism.

(27:03):
And then the third one is a nineteen sixty three
document that is filed with the with Congress in the
Congressional Record, and you'll be surprised at how far we've
gone to towards Communism's.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
What's the doctor filed in Congress?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
It is the nineteen sixty three forty five goals or.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Oh yeah, I can make this easy for you, Richard.
I have Cloard Piven. I have literally I have a
copy of Rules for Radicals on my desk right now.
I reread it about two weeks ago. And after I
read books, I give them away and I've played the
nineteen sixty three clip that you're talking about on the air.

(27:55):
I'll make it easy for you, and then you you
won't even have to send it.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
H Okay, all right, Well, it's one of those things
that you also have to look at a guy by
the name of Frank Marshall Davis. Do you know him? Yes,
Marshall Davis?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, you look at him, and then you know Bill Airs.
Are you familiar with him? Yep? Okay? And uh if
you look at those two, you can add battery Jarrett
to it, and you will start to see something building up.

(28:43):
And it all starts with Frank Marshall Davis. And that
includes Barack Obama. He was Barack Obama's mentor.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
And when when they talk about uh, community organizing, it's
community organizing for communism.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, no, I Frank, I mean Richard, I don't know
about the show. I've been talking about these things since
all the way back in two thousand and seven. I
one hundred percent agree. Yes, this is not a secret.
We've told these stories, We've explained these stories. A lot

(29:28):
of people understand these stories. Many people don't want to
hear it. They don't want to pay attention. It is
easier to call someone a Jesus freak or a conspiracy freak,
or a diet freak, or a workout freak, or a
patriotism freak or whatever else than to actually listen to

(29:49):
what they're talking about. But none of what you're talking
about is new to me or anyone else who has
been paying attention in this country for the last or
far more than that number of years. I one hundred
percent agree. I don't mean to diminish what you're saying.

(30:15):
I'm just saying, these are things I have learned, These
are things we have talked about. These are things that
people either choose to understand or willfully choose to reject.
And they don't reject it on the merit of the

(30:35):
argument or the vacancy of the argument that has been made.
They reject it on the basis that they don't want
to have to think about it. And the best example
I can give in the modern era is Eric Snowden.

(30:56):
When he revealed the things he revealed, people chose one
of two options. One was, he's a trader, he he's
a spy. It was nothing of the sort. He revealed
what our government was doing to us. There was one option,
which was, he's a trader, he's a spy. He should

(31:18):
be hanged. You should be ashamed that what he revealed
is true. You would not have known it otherwise, and
he's being treated like a criminal. The second option was, oh,
nothing he revealed is useful. We already all knew that anyway. Well,

(31:41):
which one is it? Did he reveal to the public
that which we already knew hu hum, that was widely understood.
In that case, why does he need to be treated
like a trader or The other option is he revealed terrible,

(32:03):
horrible things that never would have been revealed, should they be.
Shouldn't it concern you that but for this one man,
we wouldn't know what our own government is doing to us.
Shouldn't it concern you that members of the Senate at

(32:23):
the time expressed concern that these were details not known
to them, and that they themselves feared our security apparatus.
Shouldn't that worry you just a little? Now? Now, I
was trying to get tickets to the game, and also

(32:43):
I'm trying to get trying to figure out which cable
package I'm going to do. And it is easier for
people to focus on personal physical indulgences, buying the next
best thing, vacationing, partying, whatever else, because if you ever

(33:05):
had to confront the simulation you're living through, it would
be too much to bear. And that's why people. If
you ever wonder why people don't want to hear what
you have to say, it's because it's too painful, it's
too difficult, so they choose to pretend they're not living

(33:26):
in a prison. And that's a very very depressing fact
when you consider it on that level, That is that
is depressing to realize that many people are thiefs living
in a fiefdom with overlords of their making, and it's

(33:50):
just easier not to revolt.
