Very show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ah, yes, you've made it to Friday. Take a deep breath,
been a few hours together and talk about Elin and Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Open the phone lines. The first centuries, Heavy d.

Speaker 7 (03:20):

Speaker 8 (04:53):
He need to me.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The happy day? Oh good gun.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Honored to be with you on this the eighty first
anniversary of D Day. A lot of great Americans lost
in that cause, a very very important day in the history.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
We will talk about that. We will talk about President Trump.
Elon Musk will take your calls seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand coming up. But first courtesy the greatest executive
producer and all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi, you're weak Buzkashi,
Central Asian game, very popular. You play with a dead
(06:02):
goat carcass that they use a goat for the polo ball.
I'd like to go to one of those games, I
really would, but I think I'd want to be there
during a cooler season because it strikes me that the
winners are harsh and the summers are worse. The horrific
attack in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
The suspect seen in an orange vest walking toward the crowd,
throwing a Molotov cocktail, setting fire to innocent people who've
been calling attention to the hostages still being held in
Gaza up. The suspect yelled three Palestine.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It is clear that this is a targeted act of
violence in the FBI is investigating this as an act
of terrorism. I'm so tired of Islamic terror. I'm sick
of it. And the reality is the Left isn't you
could make it so that this would almost never happen
and we wouldn't have to live with this.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
The battle over THC in Texas is still lighting up.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick with a stash of himp products
on his desk, claiming they could quote kill you.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
This is to say, an entire generation of being hooked
on drugs. But I need for y'all to take the
story seriously. I think that Dan Patrick has mostly been
a very very good lieutenant governor. That being said, I
hope nobody tells him about beer or bourbon or wine.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Good lord.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
South Padra Island, where two construction workers were hospitalized after
both were attacked by one of their co workers with
a circular saw.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's a big construction saw that's used to cut through
a concrete so it was a very large laceration.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Of both of the investigators say one was cut on
his arm and neck, the other was cut on his
leg and arms.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He got to stab somebody. I couldn't fire up the
circular saw, and I mean, you know, blood was squirting everywhere.
Think about that. I wonder if he was wearing glasses,
if he wasn't wearing glasses, I mean, there had to
be blood spatter everywhere. Well, I'm worn out, take me out,
(08:06):
down trouble and I want a.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Kid, wow, serve me drank.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Garacy Frida down and I'm jumping around seven one three, nine,
one thousand. We don't always talk politics on Friday, but
I'm sure there are lots of thoughts on the eline.
Trump is the Michael Berry ranker coming up.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Through the stress and my brain want to flip them all,
but I do my best to the free.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well most of the time. Well, the lines are open
on open Line Friday, and we'll get to your calls
just a moment seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Of course, you can always email me through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com. We're just directly Michael at Michael
Berryshow dot com. While you're there, sign up for our
(09:01):
daily Blast. We send it six days a week. It's
a recap of some of the things we talked about
that morning. It's sent between the morning and evening shows.
There's a link to our merch. You can send me
a direct email and that blast, which goes out free.
We never share or sell your email, never have, never will.
(09:24):
On the eighty first anniversary of D Day, many of
you had relatives, grandfathers and great grandfathers and fathers who
valiantly sacrificed themselves, whether they came home alive or not,
a piece of every one of them dies on those beaches.
(09:47):
It's a tough deal. It's a really tough deal. If
you heard our Paul Harvey, I guess it was yesterday.
Was it yesterday? Yeah, we played again Paul Harvey's piece
about the loss of life and treasury by those fifty
(10:11):
six men who signed a declaration of independence and the
terrible ends. Almost all of them went, most of them
chased to their deaths, and them hang tortured, their estates burned.
You think about how many people sacrifice so much for
us to be where we are right here today. It
(10:33):
is humbling, to say the least.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I knew folks were gonna want to talk about this
because my email was blowing up yesterday, and so we will.
We'll take your calls. The theories on the Trump Elon
Rancor range from the straight line from A to B.
Elon's angry about the big beautiful bill because it's bloated,
(11:02):
and he said so. And Trump does not like to
be crossed. That's fact. And he made some statements about that,
and Elon came back and they went back and forth.
There is a straight line, two egos, two big fellas
(11:22):
to the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man.
And it was a measuring contest. That's that's one, you know,
very direct obvious theory O COM's Razor would tell you
that's probably what happened. There are a number of folks,
particularly staunch Trump supporters, who've been arguing on the networks,
(11:47):
on sites on Twitter that no, no, no, this is
a siop. They're tricking the Democrats in the media, and
there are various reasons being proffered as to why that
would be the case, and a number of reasons in between.
Before we get to your call seven one thousand, I'll
(12:08):
give you a quick recap of what happened. I think
it is unfortunate because Elon was an important part of
getting Donald Trump elected. He was an important part of
the momentum of doge. He brought a lot of very
smart people into the campaign, both the election and the
(12:36):
early days of the administration, a lot of smart young folks.
He brought in a young independent vote to the campaign,
and he spent a lot of money. Now, I've had
a lot of folks tell me we don't need him
because whatever Trump does is perfect and doesn't matter. That's
(12:57):
not true. Trump doesn't believe that. Trump does not feel
that way. I think what happened. I suspect what happened. Well,
there are a lot of reasons. One of the factors
in all of this, and this is where the relentless
media Onslaught starts to make a difference, is that the
(13:19):
media was claiming from day one of the Trump administration,
before he was in office, that Elon was actually president,
and that was designed to set off Donald Trump. That's
that was that was needling him. It started yesterday morning,
(13:39):
mid morning when Germany's new Chancellor, Friedrich Merse was with
the President and he was taking questions and unrelated to
Germany's new chancellor. And I think this was scripted. I
think this was design. They attempted to needle the president
(13:59):
over the fact that Elon Musk had been criticizing the bill,
which of course has passed the House and awaits Senate approval.
The President's trying to get that through by July fourth,
trying to keep that on a time frame before things
spiral out of control. And the President responded rather sharply, Look,
Elon and I had a great relationship, passed tense, and
(14:28):
he wasn't sure that that would continue. And then he
said that Elon was upset that the pending legislation, the
big beautiful bill would roll back subsidies for electric vehicles,
and then he said he would have won the election
without Elon Musk's money and support. That did not sit
(14:53):
well with Elon, and he went back to why he's
against the bill. It's blow did there's a bunch of
pork in there. He had been calling out Republicans, and
Republican members of the House were feeling I think it
was mostly an internally created heat. I don't think that
(15:14):
their core voters were complaining, but either way, and I
think the President was probably hearing about that and did
not appreciate it. So then President Trump said, hey, look,
he criticized the ability, said nothing about me personally, and
he knew about this bill all along. Elon said, no,
(15:36):
I didn't. And then it got ugly. It's your call
seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand, Lucky you.
The Michael continues you lucky day. Every morning, David Malesby,
the executive director of Camp Hope, and the pastor will
(15:57):
send an email out to me and board and some
folks within the organization and outside of today's champion and
it's the Champion of Camp Hope. I finally got him
to stop doing the C and H both capitalized of
champions because it was setting me off every morning. I
(16:19):
had to wear him down complaining about that one. But
today's was every day is special. Today's was a fellow
named Jorge Howard in the front office of the Houston
Texans came out and toured and he's involved in an
upcoming fundraiser for PTSD Foundation of America, which is the
(16:40):
actual entity that operates Camp Hope. And there is an
event the Texans versus the Cardinals in December that the
Texans are involved in. I don't know to what extent
that means that the Texans are going to extend their
relationship or expand it, but it's good news for the organization,
(17:04):
which of course means it's good news for our veterans.
So several folks have suggested to me that the Elon
Musk Donald Trump rancor is a setup to lure people in.
And I've had folks send me different things that people
(17:25):
have said, and one of them went like, this, don't
get sucked into the argument. It's not real. It was
staged because what they're doing is by Elon coming out
and criticizing the big beautiful Bill, the folks who hate
(17:48):
Trump will naturally support Elon. Let me pause, hold that
mark that spot right there. I was reading yesterday that
you the analytics on Google are pretty good what's available
and not. But some news source had done a search
on the number of I had done a piece on
(18:11):
the number of searches on bumper stickers being removed from automobiles,
and it had surged. And the theory goes, those are
Tesla drivers who had put a bumper sticker on their
vehicle that said, you know, I've bought this before he
(18:32):
went crazy, or I hate Trump, you know I'm going
to sell this thing whatever whatever there and now that
Elon was feuding with Trump, because this is how these
people are. If he's going to feud with Trump, then
then we're happy we have our Tesla. Again, imagine your
opinion of your vehicle being related to what Elon Elon
(18:54):
Musk's position. I'm so angry that he's working hard to
expose the waste of my tax dollars. I'm so angry
about that, So don't judge me for that. But in
any case, so the theory went, and there are quite
a few people proffering this theory that by bashing the bill,
(19:17):
that that would get Democrats in the media to support
Doge and all the cuts in order to support Elon
against Trump, and then at the last minute that do
the switch root and go, ah, we caught you and
your best Norm McDonald, We caught you. You're for the cuts,
(19:42):
Elon's for the cuts. Now Trump's for the cuts, so
you're off for the cuts. Huh, we caught you. Well, okay,
that's a theory. Yeah, that's one theory, and that that
had all been established in order to trap them, lure
(20:03):
them into taking this position. Okay, Well, I must say
the ruse was rather elaborate, including the moment where you
could you could say, okay, well, well Elon's saying Trump
wouldn't have one without me. It would be a fifty
one forty nine Democrat majority without me, and a few
(20:26):
other things, pointing out a comment that Trump made, I
think it was twenty thirteen that was basically for fiscal conservatism,
get all the get all the waste out of there,
and he said, you know where did this guy go?
Who took this guy? Is this a body double as president?
Clearly a you know, he's just a Joe Biden kind
(20:49):
of comment the kind of thing that I don't you
know Trump did Saturday Night Live. H Trump let him
tussle his hair. He can be a sport about self
deprecating things, but that didn't strike me as the sort
of thing. But okay, let's let's play that theory out.
If you believe that, and if you do, that's fine,
(21:10):
then Elon says as it grew more and more rancorous
through the course of the day. And mind you, Trump
doesn't drink, so he's not drunk. There are allegations of
drug used by Elon Musk. If you were to ask me,
do you think Elon Musk uses drug Yes, I do.
I suspect he uses drugs. I don't know that that
(21:33):
altered his opinion yesterday. It doesn't affect my opinion of him.
It's his personal life. Whatever he wants to do. He's
most successful businessman alive today. I don't know that. Don't
do drugs, kids, it'll stunt your growth. Well, it goes
back and forth middle of the afternoon, so obviously people
(21:59):
are getting in Trump's here, He's having to hear about it.
You're not happy about it. I think this had been
building for some time, and I do think it's legitimate,
And then Elon said Trump is in the Epstein files
and that's why they won't release them. Now on the
(22:22):
biggest social media platform at least of active users and
the intelligentsia, to say something like that would be one
hell of a sigh up. I got to say, that
would be a misdirect that had us all. That was
the old fumble Ruski that nobody saw coming. And the
(22:46):
reason is, once you state something like that, if one
hundred million people read that around the world, if whatever
ten million people in America read that, whatever that number is,
you will never have an opportunity to double back and
hit each one of them and get it through. You
(23:08):
have planted the nastiest seed out there. I don't see
anyone being willing to go along with that. But hey,
if you believe that Trump is willing to go to
that extent to get this bill passed and that he
needed to, then so be it. I don't don't. I
(23:29):
don't think he would ever consent to that. He is
always maintained very aggressively that he was not on Epstein Island,
he was not involved in all of that. Then by
last night, at least on Elon's side, cooler heads had prevailed.
Someone said, look, y'all need to know for the good
of the country, and he seemed to say, yeah, you're
(23:51):
right in any case, all right, it's your turn to talk.
Seven one three, nine, nine nine one one of them
to your ears. This is the Michael Ferry show. Snake farm.
It just salesmastic snake farm pretty much is.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Snake farm.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's a Repti six snake farm. Tesla's shares had their
worst day since twenty twenty, dropping fourteen percent yesterday. I
don't mean to suggests I know exactly why that would
(24:33):
be the case. One argument would be, well, there are
people who've been buying Tesla because they like what what
Elon is doing for the country with Doge. There's one
theory that goes the market does not like controversy. People
(24:57):
are averse to con and controversy, and they don't like
that Elon is embroiled in this. You can even extend
that into it doesn't look what I want to say stable.
I think Elon's a very volatile guy. I think Trump's
a very volatile guy, but I think Elon's a very
(25:18):
volatile guy. Extraordinarily volatile and I think when people are
reminded of that, it makes him uncomfortable. You're not a
normal guy to do what he's done for people who
forget that. Anyway, All right, before we get to your calls,
here was an example of one of any many emails
(25:38):
I received, Mister Barry, I'm gonna say what I believe
a lot of people may be thinking right now. The
deal with Musk and Trump, I believe has been planned
and staged since the moment Trump came into this whole
political scene. I've heard many people say, well, Musk has
always been a Democrat. Since lately, do you know who
(26:00):
else used to be a Democrat? Trump? Do you remember
the Oprah interview years ago? I believe this has been
planned for a long time. I believe a lot of
this stuff that's been going on during both of Trump's
presidencies have been staged. I believe they are all in
on it with the Democrats to ruin the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I absolutely love what Trump has done for our wonderful country,
but I also believe there's going to be a big
surprise comany, a surprise coming that will absolutely destroy our
country under this presidency. I believe They are all actors
that are all playing their roles perfectly. It's like a movie.
The American voters can't keep their eyes off of Okay,
(26:41):
A big things are going to happen. We just don't
know what they are. All right, Let's start with Rodney Rdney.
You're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, how you doing good?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I live to you every day.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
All I do is drive and I list to.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You every day.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
My opinion, my opinion.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He yep, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 10 (27:03):
I just called to comment on Elon Musk and Donald
Trump their feud or whatever. If it isn't set up,
I'm thinking that Elon saved how many trillions of dollars
through dose. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Elon isn't
pissed off He's saved all of this money and Donald
(27:26):
Trump is spending it on the other end. I don't that.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
That's the way I feel about some of this. If
it's not set up, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't you know?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The reality is, I just don't know. I think it's
healthier then I don't do breaking news. Is that I
have a keen awareness that well, First of all, Uh,
primary news is not reliable. So when you have a
shooting or a mass disaster, I don't think it does
(28:00):
need good for me to come on the air and
talk about what's just happened, understanding that the data we're
using to come to a conclusion is based on people
who may or may not have firsthand experience, or have
talked to someone's firsthand experience, and that person may or
(28:21):
may not have an extra grind, or they may not
have seen the thing entirely. So there is this rush
to get news on the air or in print because
first in time gets rewards and nobody notices how often
they get it wrong. Well, then you add analysis and
perspective to the primary news, but the analysis and perspective
(28:42):
is on bad news. And so now you're saying things
that you have to walk back, and I don't feel
good doing that. I'm not afraid to walk back in
opinion when circumstances change. I just don't feel the need
to have an opinion on news on breaking news as happens.
I also think that most things that are called breaking
(29:03):
news are not important in the grand schemes. They're the scheme.
They're important to the person involved and maybe they're family
member and maybe that community, but they're not the most
important thing that I want to talk about that day.
And that's why we fail to see the forest for
the trees, because the trees are crammed down our throat
with this constant breaking news, which is blood gore. You
(29:27):
know what fits with the narrative of what they want,
which is white anybody other than the white liberals is
a bad person, and they're all racist, and they're all
out to kill people and blow stuff up, and they're
awful and mean and and you know they're a number
of illegal immigrants or good people. They're just here to help.
Everybody's out to get them. I think a lot of
(29:49):
stories are pushed through a funnel towards that category of
story that they want to keep promoting. Susan, you're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, my dear, Hello Michael.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
My opinion is this is just going to blow over,
and these two hot heads are going to get over
it when the media stops picking at the scab. Okay,
I called today because we just got back from France,
and I would like to direct the conversation back to
do that.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay, hold on, so I want you to do that,
but I don't know if you sound muffled. Can you
speak directly into the microphone. I'm right here on my
phone much better? All right, what did you change?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Better?
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Pardon?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
What did you change?
Speaker 8 (30:39):
I don't know what you're asking. I I just got
back from France.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Now go ahead with her.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Okay, Yeah. My my previous comment was I think these
are trumping musk or too hot heads talking and this
will blow over when the media stops picking at the scab.
So today's D Day anniversary, and I'm glad you brought
that up because I think our country has not, you know,
(31:08):
paid attention to this thing. We were invited to go
to France for v E Day. It was their eightieth anniversary.
And I can't tell you the small towns that had
these solemn ceremonies and the speakers and the pageantry. They
recognized their dead soldiers, they recognized all of their soldiers
(31:32):
that are still living for whatever war, and they invited
us to go back. And they had a picture in
this little town of Lifray of my husband's uncle who
crashed in their town. They honored him with the rest
of their own. Then they proceeded the next day to
(31:53):
install a granite monument where his body was found. That
will and they honor him every every year. They call
him their liberator.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
That's uncle. That That is a powerful moment, you know,
remembering someone when they're gone, refusing to forget is a
very very powerful tribute because time creates a lapse, and
often that happens. What I'm getting chill bumps imagining, and
(32:33):
it's not not you know, my spouse's uncle or your
spouse his uncle. I gotta think, what a great tribute,
what a beautiful thing. Thank you for that. Call Susan.
Your cost coming up seven one, three, nine nine nine
one thousands
It's that time, time time, luck and load. So Michael
Very show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ah, yes, you've made it to Friday. Take a deep breath,
been a few hours together and talk about Elin and Trump.

He need to me.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The happy day? Oh good gun.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Honored to be with you on this the eighty first
anniversary of D Day. A lot of great Americans lost
in that cause, a very very important day in the history.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
We will talk about that. We will talk about President Trump.
Elon Musk will take your calls seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand coming up. But first courtesy the greatest executive
producer and all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi, you're weak Buzkashi,
Central Asian game, very popular. You play with a dead
(06:02):
goat carcass that they use a goat for the polo ball.
I'd like to go to one of those games, I
really would, but I think I'd want to be there
during a cooler season because it strikes me that the
winners are harsh and the summers are worse. The horrific
attack in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
The suspect seen in an orange vest walking toward the crowd,

The battle over THC in Texas is still lighting up.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick with a stash of himp products
on his desk, claiming they could quote kill you.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
This is to say, an entire generation of being hooked
on drugs. But I need for y'all to take the
story seriously. I think that Dan Patrick has mostly been
a very very good lieutenant governor. That being said, I
hope nobody tells him about beer or bourbon or wine.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Good lord.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
South Padra Island, where two construction workers were hospitalized after
both were attacked by one of their co workers with
a circular saw.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's a big construction saw that's used to cut through
a concrete so it was a very large laceration.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Of both of the investigators say one was cut on
his arm and neck, the other was cut on his
leg and arms.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He got to stab somebody. I couldn't fire up the
circular saw, and I mean, you know, blood was squirting everywhere.
Think about that. I wonder if he was wearing glasses,
if he wasn't wearing glasses, I mean, there had to
be blood spatter everywhere. Well, I'm worn out, take me out,
(08:06):
down trouble and I want a.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Kid, wow, serve me drank.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Garacy Frida down and I'm jumping around seven one three, nine,
one thousand. We don't always talk politics on Friday, but
I'm sure there are lots of thoughts on the eline.
Trump is the Michael Berry ranker coming up.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Through the stress and my brain want to flip them all,
but I do my best to the free.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well most of the time. Well, the lines are open
on open Line Friday, and we'll get to your calls
just a moment seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Of course, you can always email me through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com. We're just directly Michael at Michael
Berryshow dot com. While you're there, sign up for our

We never share or sell your email, never have, never will.
(09:24):
On the eighty first anniversary of D Day, many of
you had relatives, grandfathers and great grandfathers and fathers who
valiantly sacrificed themselves, whether they came home alive or not,
a piece of every one of them dies on those beaches.
(09:47):
It's a tough deal. It's a really tough deal. If
you heard our Paul Harvey, I guess it was yesterday.
Was it yesterday? Yeah, we played again Paul Harvey's piece
about the loss of life and treasury by those fifty
(10:11):
six men who signed a declaration of independence and the
terrible ends. Almost all of them went, most of them
chased to their deaths, and them hang tortured, their estates burned.
You think about how many people sacrifice so much for
us to be where we are right here today. It
(10:33):
is humbling, to say the least.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I knew folks were gonna want to talk about this
because my email was blowing up yesterday, and so we will.
We'll take your calls. The theories on the Trump Elon
Rancor range from the straight line from A to B.
Elon's angry about the big beautiful bill because it's bloated,
(11:02):
and he said so. And Trump does not like to
be crossed. That's fact. And he made some statements about that,
and Elon came back and they went back and forth.
There is a straight line, two egos, two big fellas
(11:22):
to the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man.
And it was a measuring contest. That's that's one, you know,
very direct obvious theory O COM's Razor would tell you
that's probably what happened. There are a number of folks,
particularly staunch Trump supporters, who've been arguing on the networks,
(11:47):
on sites on Twitter that no, no, no, this is
a siop. They're tricking the Democrats in the media, and
there are various reasons being proffered as to why that
would be the case, and a number of reasons in between.
Before we get to your call seven one thousand, I'll
(12:08):
give you a quick recap of what happened. I think
it is unfortunate because Elon was an important part of
getting Donald Trump elected. He was an important part of
the momentum of doge. He brought a lot of very
smart people into the campaign, both the election and the
(12:36):
early days of the administration, a lot of smart young folks.
He brought in a young independent vote to the campaign,
and he spent a lot of money. Now, I've had
a lot of folks tell me we don't need him
because whatever Trump does is perfect and doesn't matter. That's
(12:57):
not true. Trump doesn't believe that. Trump does not feel
that way. I think what happened. I suspect what happened. Well,
there are a lot of reasons. One of the factors
in all of this, and this is where the relentless
media Onslaught starts to make a difference, is that the
(13:19):
media was claiming from day one of the Trump administration,
before he was in office, that Elon was actually president,
and that was designed to set off Donald Trump. That's
that was that was needling him. It started yesterday morning,
(13:39):
mid morning when Germany's new Chancellor, Friedrich Merse was with
the President and he was taking questions and unrelated to
Germany's new chancellor. And I think this was scripted. I
think this was design. They attempted to needle the president
(13:59):
over the fact that Elon Musk had been criticizing the bill,
which of course has passed the House and awaits Senate approval.
The President's trying to get that through by July fourth,
trying to keep that on a time frame before things
spiral out of control. And the President responded rather sharply, Look,
Elon and I had a great relationship, passed tense, and
(14:28):
he wasn't sure that that would continue. And then he
said that Elon was upset that the pending legislation, the
big beautiful bill would roll back subsidies for electric vehicles,
and then he said he would have won the election
without Elon Musk's money and support. That did not sit
(14:53):
well with Elon, and he went back to why he's
against the bill. It's blow did there's a bunch of
pork in there. He had been calling out Republicans, and
Republican members of the House were feeling I think it
was mostly an internally created heat. I don't think that
(15:14):
their core voters were complaining, but either way, and I
think the President was probably hearing about that and did
not appreciate it. So then President Trump said, hey, look,
he criticized the ability, said nothing about me personally, and
he knew about this bill all along. Elon said, no,
(15:36):
I didn't. And then it got ugly. It's your call
seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand, Lucky you.
The Michael continues you lucky day. Every morning, David Malesby,
the executive director of Camp Hope, and the pastor will
(15:57):
send an email out to me and board and some
folks within the organization and outside of today's champion and
it's the Champion of Camp Hope. I finally got him
to stop doing the C and H both capitalized of
champions because it was setting me off every morning. I
(16:19):
had to wear him down complaining about that one. But
today's was every day is special. Today's was a fellow
named Jorge Howard in the front office of the Houston
Texans came out and toured and he's involved in an
upcoming fundraiser for PTSD Foundation of America, which is the
(16:40):
actual entity that operates Camp Hope. And there is an
event the Texans versus the Cardinals in December that the
Texans are involved in. I don't know to what extent
that means that the Texans are going to extend their
relationship or expand it, but it's good news for the organization,
(17:04):
which of course means it's good news for our veterans.
So several folks have suggested to me that the Elon
Musk Donald Trump rancor is a setup to lure people in.
And I've had folks send me different things that people
(17:25):
have said, and one of them went like, this, don't
get sucked into the argument. It's not real. It was
staged because what they're doing is by Elon coming out
and criticizing the big beautiful Bill, the folks who hate
(17:48):
Trump will naturally support Elon. Let me pause, hold that
mark that spot right there. I was reading yesterday that
you the analytics on Google are pretty good what's available
and not. But some news source had done a search
on the number of I had done a piece on
(18:11):
the number of searches on bumper stickers being removed from automobiles,
and it had surged. And the theory goes, those are
Tesla drivers who had put a bumper sticker on their
vehicle that said, you know, I've bought this before he
(18:32):
went crazy, or I hate Trump, you know I'm going
to sell this thing whatever whatever there and now that
Elon was feuding with Trump, because this is how these
people are. If he's going to feud with Trump, then
then we're happy we have our Tesla. Again, imagine your
opinion of your vehicle being related to what Elon Elon
(18:54):
Musk's position. I'm so angry that he's working hard to
expose the waste of my tax dollars. I'm so angry
about that, So don't judge me for that. But in
any case, so the theory went, and there are quite
a few people proffering this theory that by bashing the bill,
(19:17):
that that would get Democrats in the media to support
Doge and all the cuts in order to support Elon
against Trump, and then at the last minute that do
the switch root and go, ah, we caught you and
your best Norm McDonald, We caught you. You're for the cuts,
(19:42):
Elon's for the cuts. Now Trump's for the cuts, so
you're off for the cuts. Huh, we caught you. Well, okay,
that's a theory. Yeah, that's one theory, and that that
had all been established in order to trap them, lure
(20:03):
them into taking this position. Okay, Well, I must say
the ruse was rather elaborate, including the moment where you
could you could say, okay, well, well Elon's saying Trump
wouldn't have one without me. It would be a fifty
one forty nine Democrat majority without me, and a few
(20:26):
other things, pointing out a comment that Trump made, I
think it was twenty thirteen that was basically for fiscal conservatism,
get all the get all the waste out of there,
and he said, you know where did this guy go?
Who took this guy? Is this a body double as president?
Clearly a you know, he's just a Joe Biden kind
(20:49):
of comment the kind of thing that I don't you
know Trump did Saturday Night Live. H Trump let him
tussle his hair. He can be a sport about self
deprecating things, but that didn't strike me as the sort
of thing. But okay, let's let's play that theory out.
If you believe that, and if you do, that's fine,
(21:10):
then Elon says as it grew more and more rancorous
through the course of the day. And mind you, Trump
doesn't drink, so he's not drunk. There are allegations of
drug used by Elon Musk. If you were to ask me,
do you think Elon Musk uses drug Yes, I do.
I suspect he uses drugs. I don't know that that
(21:33):
altered his opinion yesterday. It doesn't affect my opinion of him.
It's his personal life. Whatever he wants to do. He's
most successful businessman alive today. I don't know that. Don't
do drugs, kids, it'll stunt your growth. Well, it goes
back and forth middle of the afternoon, so obviously people
(21:59):
are getting in Trump's here, He's having to hear about it.
You're not happy about it. I think this had been
building for some time, and I do think it's legitimate,
And then Elon said Trump is in the Epstein files
and that's why they won't release them. Now on the
(22:22):
biggest social media platform at least of active users and
the intelligentsia, to say something like that would be one
hell of a sigh up. I got to say, that
would be a misdirect that had us all. That was
the old fumble Ruski that nobody saw coming. And the
(22:46):
reason is, once you state something like that, if one
hundred million people read that around the world, if whatever
ten million people in America read that, whatever that number is,
you will never have an opportunity to double back and
hit each one of them and get it through. You
(23:08):
have planted the nastiest seed out there. I don't see
anyone being willing to go along with that. But hey,
if you believe that Trump is willing to go to
that extent to get this bill passed and that he
needed to, then so be it. I don't don't. I
(23:29):
don't think he would ever consent to that. He is
always maintained very aggressively that he was not on Epstein Island,
he was not involved in all of that. Then by
last night, at least on Elon's side, cooler heads had prevailed.
Someone said, look, y'all need to know for the good
of the country, and he seemed to say, yeah, you're
(23:51):
right in any case, all right, it's your turn to talk.
Seven one three, nine, nine nine one one of them
to your ears. This is the Michael Ferry show. Snake farm.
It just salesmastic snake farm pretty much is.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Snake farm.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's a Repti six snake farm. Tesla's shares had their
worst day since twenty twenty, dropping fourteen percent yesterday. I
don't mean to suggests I know exactly why that would
(24:33):
be the case. One argument would be, well, there are
people who've been buying Tesla because they like what what
Elon is doing for the country with Doge. There's one
theory that goes the market does not like controversy. People
(24:57):
are averse to con and controversy, and they don't like
that Elon is embroiled in this. You can even extend
that into it doesn't look what I want to say stable.
I think Elon's a very volatile guy. I think Trump's
a very volatile guy, but I think Elon's a very
(25:18):
volatile guy. Extraordinarily volatile and I think when people are
reminded of that, it makes him uncomfortable. You're not a
normal guy to do what he's done for people who
forget that. Anyway, All right, before we get to your calls,
here was an example of one of any many emails
(25:38):
I received, Mister Barry, I'm gonna say what I believe
a lot of people may be thinking right now. The
deal with Musk and Trump, I believe has been planned
and staged since the moment Trump came into this whole
political scene. I've heard many people say, well, Musk has
always been a Democrat. Since lately, do you know who
(26:00):
else used to be a Democrat? Trump? Do you remember
the Oprah interview years ago? I believe this has been
planned for a long time. I believe a lot of
this stuff that's been going on during both of Trump's
presidencies have been staged. I believe they are all in
on it with the Democrats to ruin the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I absolutely love what Trump has done for our wonderful country,
but I also believe there's going to be a big
surprise comany, a surprise coming that will absolutely destroy our
country under this presidency. I believe They are all actors
that are all playing their roles perfectly. It's like a movie.
The American voters can't keep their eyes off of Okay,
(26:41):
A big things are going to happen. We just don't
know what they are. All right, Let's start with Rodney Rdney.
You're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, how you doing good?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I live to you every day.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
All I do is drive and I list to.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You every day.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
My opinion, my opinion.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He yep, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 10 (27:03):
I just called to comment on Elon Musk and Donald
Trump their feud or whatever. If it isn't set up,
I'm thinking that Elon saved how many trillions of dollars
through dose. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Elon isn't
pissed off He's saved all of this money and Donald
(27:26):
Trump is spending it on the other end. I don't that.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
That's the way I feel about some of this. If
it's not set up, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't you know?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The reality is, I just don't know. I think it's
healthier then I don't do breaking news. Is that I
have a keen awareness that well, First of all, Uh,
primary news is not reliable. So when you have a
shooting or a mass disaster, I don't think it does
(28:00):
need good for me to come on the air and
talk about what's just happened, understanding that the data we're
using to come to a conclusion is based on people
who may or may not have firsthand experience, or have
talked to someone's firsthand experience, and that person may or
(28:21):
may not have an extra grind, or they may not
have seen the thing entirely. So there is this rush
to get news on the air or in print because
first in time gets rewards and nobody notices how often
they get it wrong. Well, then you add analysis and
perspective to the primary news, but the analysis and perspective
(28:42):
is on bad news. And so now you're saying things
that you have to walk back, and I don't feel
good doing that. I'm not afraid to walk back in
opinion when circumstances change. I just don't feel the need
to have an opinion on news on breaking news as happens.
I also think that most things that are called breaking
(29:03):
news are not important in the grand schemes. They're the scheme.
They're important to the person involved and maybe they're family
member and maybe that community, but they're not the most
important thing that I want to talk about that day.
And that's why we fail to see the forest for
the trees, because the trees are crammed down our throat
with this constant breaking news, which is blood gore. You
(29:27):
know what fits with the narrative of what they want,
which is white anybody other than the white liberals is
a bad person, and they're all racist, and they're all
out to kill people and blow stuff up, and they're
awful and mean and and you know they're a number
of illegal immigrants or good people. They're just here to help.
Everybody's out to get them. I think a lot of
(29:49):
stories are pushed through a funnel towards that category of
story that they want to keep promoting. Susan, you're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, my dear, Hello Michael.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
My opinion is this is just going to blow over,
and these two hot heads are going to get over
it when the media stops picking at the scab. Okay,
I called today because we just got back from France,
and I would like to direct the conversation back to
do that.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Okay, hold on, so I want you to do that,
but I don't know if you sound muffled. Can you
speak directly into the microphone. I'm right here on my
phone much better? All right, what did you change?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Better?
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Pardon?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
What did you change?
Speaker 8 (30:39):
I don't know what you're asking. I I just got
back from France.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Now go ahead with her.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Okay, Yeah. My my previous comment was I think these
are trumping musk or too hot heads talking and this
will blow over when the media stops picking at the scab.
So today's D Day anniversary, and I'm glad you brought
that up because I think our country has not, you know,
(31:08):
paid attention to this thing. We were invited to go
to France for v E Day. It was their eightieth anniversary.
And I can't tell you the small towns that had
these solemn ceremonies and the speakers and the pageantry. They
recognized their dead soldiers, they recognized all of their soldiers
(31:32):
that are still living for whatever war, and they invited
us to go back. And they had a picture in
this little town of Lifray of my husband's uncle who
crashed in their town. They honored him with the rest
of their own. Then they proceeded the next day to
(31:53):
install a granite monument where his body was found. That
will and they honor him every every year. They call
him their liberator.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
That's uncle. That That is a powerful moment, you know,
remembering someone when they're gone, refusing to forget is a
very very powerful tribute because time creates a lapse, and
often that happens. What I'm getting chill bumps imagining, and
(32:33):
it's not not you know, my spouse's uncle or your
spouse his uncle. I gotta think, what a great tribute,
what a beautiful thing. Thank you for that. Call Susan.
