Michael Arry Show is on the air. Let's go for it.
You ain't got no job, You're young and you got
your hails. What do you want with the job?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Crazy?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I believe we drove around all day and there's not
a single job in this town.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There is nothing, not a zecond.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, unless you want to work forty hours a week.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Really should quit that same job.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Man, Hey, man, I wish I could man seff equipment.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The whole place would fall apart with the man.
Speaker 7 (00:45):
I'm gonna need it there, man.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Responsibility is a heavy responsibility.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't like my job, and I don't think I'm
gonna go anymore. There's not gonna go. Yeah, won't you
get fired? I don't know, but I really don't like it,
and I'm not gonna go up.
Speaker 9 (01:11):
The older boy bless and So is preparing for his
career Colt Carnival.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
He's gotta be proud.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (01:19):
Last season he was a pifty dust spreader on a
Teltic world. He thinks that maybe next year I'll be
guessing people's waiter marketing for the act woman.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I need a different job. I'm having real trouble in
a confined indoors space. How do you feel about working outdoors?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What else do Jeff, I'm gonna lose my job, Pilot,
and I just calm down, don't fool.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I killed the boss.
Speaker 10 (01:42):
You think they're not gonna fire me for a thing
like that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Is the first day of summer in the Northern hemisphere,
which has been called Summer Solstice. It's also the longest
day of the year moon.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (02:14):
And the.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Closest the second place to the longest day of the
year is the Monday after.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I want to make sure I comment on the Tucker
Carlson Ted Cruz conversation because a number of you have
asked that I do, and I had not seen the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So as I was going to sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Last night, I remembered I had not done that, and
I thought, well, I should probably comment on that in
the morning, so let me do it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's a two hour long banter.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's rather and I have some thoughts. I don't think
very many people have watched the entirety of it, and
I think that that changes the dynamic quite a bit,
as opposed to the short little excerpts that Tucker Crossing's
people sent out. But that's sort of the design, right
(03:19):
You say, watch this thing and here's a clip of it,
and you play the clip that inures to your benefit.
It's sort of like, you know, if you were an
Arkansas baseball fan, you went to bed the other night
thinking you beat LSU and you wake up and you
haven't because all you saw was a clip of you leading.
And then you find out your left fielder took a
shot off the top of his head.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
How does that happen? That poor guy? Ough Man? Tom,
You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Go ahead, sir, all Rightael, all right? So jealous of you?
You celebrating your wedding anniversary and last week she's got
to be Father's Day with them two beautiful children. And
I just enjoy listening to you, and I wish I
(04:09):
could trade places with you for about two hours. But
that a man talking about before the hour break, there
is all this stuff going crazy, iness world. I want
to go back to the time when I see Americans
proud of America. I remember when I was a child,
(04:31):
it was love it or leave it. And if you
ain't got time for America and the flag and the
national anthem and hot dogs on Memorial Day, then get
your ass out of here. And it's this whole thought
(04:54):
process about, well, we got to cater to the people
in the wheelchairs because they're having a tough life, and
we got to cater to this minority because of XYZ,
and now we have to treat the gaze a certain way. Well,
I've seen so many of these things in my time,
(05:16):
where they split off into twenty seven thirty seven subgroups
of each little problem. And if people will find a
goal in life, look straight at it and go after
it with everything they've got every day they wake up,
(05:39):
love their family, love Jesus, and do what they need
to do. We can be a hell of a country.
But as long as we keep being turn to the left,
turn to the right, sit down, stand up, and don't fight,
we are going to go straight down the drain. And
(06:03):
you ain't there yet, but I'm getting close enough to
where it won't be much longer. I won't be here
on this earth anymore. And it's a shame of where
things are going. And don't even get me started talking
about the debt that America has and how much of
(06:28):
this debt has gone to propping up other countries that
would kill every one of us if they got two
seconds too. I was reading the other day, I think
now per capita in America, per taxpayer. Now I got
to say that per taxpayer, because there's a lot of
(06:49):
people right here in America that are riding on this
gravy train and not doing anything to push the train forward.
But I was reading it. Her capita per taxpayer, we're
standing at three hundred and twenty to three hundred thirty
five thousand dollars per person to satisfy this death. What
(07:11):
is seven trillion, seven bazillion? I don't know. But anyways,
happy anniversary to you and your wife, and y'all enjoy
each other. And then two and God bless all of us.
My ex wife, she ended up getting the place down
(07:35):
there north of Refurio, south of Victoria, little ten acres,
out in the middle of nowhere, and she always had
problems with the illegals coming through and that raid her
little shock that she had out there with her lawnmower
and her tools and everything like that. Well, just about
(07:58):
a year and year and two months ago now I
got the news that they found her dead in her
car and she was in her house coat and didn't
have nothing but her keys. She had left her first
inside the house and they clet her throat killed her.
(08:23):
That's where we're at, and just put it on a Michael.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Barrisson Michael Varry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I did not see that coming. That call will go
down in uh in the ten most memorable calls of
all time. That's up there with Annie and that woman
(08:52):
that hates ramone from Katie Linda oh Man. Does she
hate you? I wish she would call back again. I
miss her. I miss her so badly. Man oh Man,
do I miss her?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
She was.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
She was something special her that was she was a caller.
Now people would talk about her for weeks after that. John,
you're on the Michael Berry Show, go ahead a creek himself. Yeah,
that's her. Yeah, Yes, gosh, she was good. John, you're up.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Yes, I see where the powers should be or angling
for taxpayers of Harrison County to fun repairs at Toyota
Center and in her Gie In spite of the owners
(09:53):
of of of those clubs there are you know, multi
billionaires and when you're taking consideration, the Boston Celsics were
recently sold for six billion dollars and at the other
day the lawsuit interest Lakers were sold for ten billion dollars.
(10:19):
Don't you think the owners of those up the Rockets
and the Texans, cnel Ford, their loan repairs and taxpayers
of Harris County.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You know, it's a very interesting question, John, Thank you
for the call. The Bus family, which has long owned
the Los Angeles Lakers, they didn't sell the entirety of
the team for ten billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
They just sold a majority interest.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
The guy to whom they sold it is named Mark Walter.
He's already the majority owner of the Dodger. There's his business.
He's the CEO and chairman of a company called TWG Global.
He has stakes in Chelsea in the English Premier League,
(11:12):
and I don't know how many billion that's worth. He's
got an F one racing team and he was at
twenty one percent ownership already, so all they technically they
could have sold him at a minimum. I don't know
the exact percentage they sold him, but at a ten
billion dollar valuation, presuming you're not counting what he's already
(11:37):
put in. If that's just the go forward number, they
could have sold him as little as twenty nine point
one percent and got him to be a majority owner.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know what that number looks like.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That is the largest sale of a professional sports franchise
in world history. That includes soccer, baseball, basketball, all of
it talk about a return on investment. Jerry Buss bought
the Lakers in nineteen seventy nine for sixty seven million dollars.
(12:18):
But he also got the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, the
hockey team, and the forum in Inglewood where both the
Lakers and the Clippers call home, so it wasn't just
the team he paid that for. He died in twenty thirteen.
(12:38):
His daughter, Jeanie, has been running the team since he died.
In what I'm reading is that she will continue to
do so. Random side note, comedian Jay Moore hit the
mother load.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Some of you may remember.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
When I ran our three stations, which is KPRC where
you hear producer Kenny and Walton and Johnson, nine to
fifty AM where Rush used to be, and katr H,
which you're listening to now. In seven to ninety our
sports station kbm ME, we had on mid morning's Jay Moore,
who was a comedian and a sports guy. Well, he
(13:23):
ends up marrying billionaire Genie Buss, so you get to
hang out with the Lakers have billions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I mean, that's that's a pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
They're saying that the most valuable franchise today is the
Dallas Cowboys, were it to ever be sold, and I
think either before he dies or shortly after, the Jones
family will we'll sell them because I think they'd rather
have the cash. Jerry Jones enjoyed the money, because what's
(13:58):
the point of having all these faceless if you have
no word to show it off?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But in answer to your question, who should pay repairs.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
For these facilities?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I will answer that coming up, Michael Berry, show.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You you don't shine, you won't rise you. I never
(14:49):
seen the standing someone you won't hear me? Fine, this
is my test, a fine, please leave me more. You
know who, as long as.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
There is.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Is probably a creep? What do you think about bear song?
Speaker 11 (15:20):
More than and.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
We'll probably sit around and cook some soups and eat
bread and desserts and just get on fat and say.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
You know what I mean, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 10 (15:41):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You know what I'm saying, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Let's get here. Hold get a mess my mouth.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
You don't.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
She get my phone number out to to out lesbians.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You and me, Baby Harvey, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Go ahead, sir, my oh, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
And I just want to say the calls about light,
the left and the left, I believe I understand why
they're so messed up. And for the past twenty five years,
I've been studying scripture, not every day, but at least
every week. And if you take the three John letters,
(17:25):
the first one is only five little chapters. And if
you've got a good print Bible that hasn't been altered
electronically like some of the electronic websites.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
One John is clear.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
There's only two forces in the universe, light and darkness.
Jesus is the light and Satan is the darkness. There
are no agnostics and atheists. Agnostics may be in the
light because they're sitting on the fence. Atheists are in
the dark because they don't want to know God. Now,
the problem is being in the light is voluntary, you
(17:59):
choose to be there, and being in the darkness is
the default position of the light. And quite a few
years ago the Democrats started victing God from their party.
God isn't there anymore, but Satan's there because he received
them when God defaulted them to the dark. And that
(18:21):
explains everything, because Satan has no good in it. That's
about what I wanted to say.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Very well, said sir, very well said, thank you for
the call. Let's go to Tricia. Tricia, you're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Go ahead, Hi, Michael, thank you for taking my call.
I just wanted to share with you that recently, actually
May twentieth, I donated my Texas Cowboy hat. I was
a delegate for the National Convention to the Smithsonian. I
altered the hat during that time to reflect J sixers,
and two of the J sixers on the hat met
(18:59):
me in DC and for the ceremony at the Smithsonian,
and it was just a real honor and it felt
really great to do something positive for JA sixers, and
they really appreciated it well. So I just wanted to
share that with you. It was kind of.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Cool, Tricia.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
When you say two of the J sixers on the hat,
what do you mean by that?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Okay, so there's a. I took the hat and I
put pictures of JA sixers on the hat. One of
them was Jeremy Brown. He's a Greenborrey Master Sergeant and
a J Sixer. And I chose him because prior to this,
I was doing speeches, trying to do speeches. I'm not
a public speaker. I hate public speaking, but I was
trying to get the word out and I wanted to
(19:41):
research some of the Jay Sixers. Well, I stumbled upon
Jeremy Brown. And one of the things Jeremy said was
don't do nothing. That's all he was asking us from
us was just to not do you know, to to
do something. So I thought, okay, well I'm gonna learn
about him. And I spoke to my congressman about it,
and I spoke to Jim Jordan's team about him. I
spoked a lot people, but anyway, I chose Jeremy Brown
(20:01):
for that reason. And I chose Sarah Carpenter, who was
a nine to eleven first responder with MTV and her
story is really incredible. Her. Sarah and I became friends
and I wrote to her while she was in prison,
and she when I told her, you know that we
were going into the Smithsonian. She asked if she could come,
and I said, of course. I really had no idea
(20:22):
that they would want to, but they did, and they
saw it as a huge honor and it's one of
the few, maybe the only, that they've gotten thus far.
So I'm just proud of it and proud of them.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You should be proud. And you didn't do nothing, Yes,
I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well said, you know, people like you, Tricia, are the
best of politics. I I think I'm a pretty good
judge of character, and I've come to appreciate their most women,
not only women, not exclusively women, but mostly women. They're
(21:06):
mostly i'll say forty plus who have such pure hearts
and good intentions and want the best for our country.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
In their kind and generous. They're usually people of deep faith.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
They're people who love, love, love their family and their country,
and they'll do anything. If you have the good sense
to ask that person to help you, you are you
are going to succeed because they are tenacious. You know
all the things I hear you doing. It that takes effort,
(21:52):
not an easy thing to do. It takes getting off
the couch, it takes booking the flight, being there when
You're supposed to getting these things done, making the calls,
having the meetings. It takes a lot of effort, and
yet you you do it. I mean like drunk Mark,
drunk Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I'm good at Uh yeah, drunk Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I got to thinking about something.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Every time you call, you're drunk, and I'm wondering where
do you get the money and the booze? Because that's
actually work to say that, to stay that drunk all time?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
How do you know if I'm drunk or not? But
I don't want you to come me off before I have,
before I face something. I'm going to get my ID today.
I just want to give you update.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I'm going to.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Hymstead get my I D. And I'm debating whether or
not if I should go to court on first on the
first but or just go back to the Salvation Army.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Because I need a lawyer. I need a real lawyer.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Yeah, this Cortery Portals lawyer ain't gonna do nothing for him, right.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Market If you really don't, Michael Barry, show.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
How you doing that? This is Shirley cute liquor.
Speaker 11 (23:30):
I'm confirming about the dwindling amount of black white women's
we have left singing. You know, Old Tina Turner says
she's gonna go back to the house and sit up
in the recline and say she threw sixty years old,
bless the heart. She needs some time off, and Diana
Rossa concert bombed out. Nobody will won't see her with
(23:52):
that four foot wig on coming out there. She just
looked like hide stretched over a skeleton wearing some wings.
You don't come, I'm coming out.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
She needs to go back. And Aretha lost. She don't
hardly perform no more. She can't get out of her house,
and she's scared to get on the airplane.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
I don't blame it, because they sure enough make her
fly cargo. I did not say that about the queen.
And so it's out there, so we don't have no
girls coming up that's any good. Whitney and them, oh lord,
Whitney Houston and lost her minds. She on that uh
weeds and the Bobby is just beating her down and everything,
(24:34):
and you know that that'll killer lady spirit and so
little Kim. All she do is flash her breakfasts everywhere,
and the rest of the girls out here on the
radio just talk so nasty on them wrap stations. They're
just practically tell the men's anything anything to the men's,
where's the women's says it's shame no more? You know,
(24:58):
whatever happened to a Billy Holiday, Pearl Bailey, Mom's mably
Lewanda Page. You know the girls was good? Millie Jackson.
They show up and do their cursing and go home.
Oh lord, I don't know. I just need to go
to a concert. I'm more concert oriented than most people here.
(25:19):
Tell you Mama as has she do a Mexican She
get tickets to Earth Wind and Fire.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Or two Live Crew. I don't care, but I had.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It, man.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
I love.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
From On the subject of the.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Tucker Crossing Ted Cruz discussion, Now, before I begin to comment,
and before you send me an email that says I
took this or that side, or I declared this or
that person one, that is your shortcoming, not mine.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That is on you.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
To begin with, we're talking about nuclear weaponry. We're talking
about the apocalypse. You're talking about the death of millions
of people if nuclear weaponry is deployed. And you're talking
about the stability of the world here and whether we
(26:42):
do something or don't do something. Both of those are
major decisions. Let's start there, and so a number of people,
dare I say it, have a rather immature approach to
the subject. If you can decide what we do in
(27:06):
this situation in less than ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Without any consideration.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
For the facts as they currently exist, which are different
than ten years ago and different than fifty years ago,
and you don't go looking to ferret out different opinions.
I don't think we're good stewards of the republic.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It's easy to just be the guy that's forebombing or
the guy that's against any military action.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
It's easy. You don't have to think. So let's start
with the.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Idea that in a nation of self governance, as opposed
to a monarchy, a dictatorship, whatever that entity looks like,
we discuss things, We debate them feverishly, passionately, and that
(28:06):
can be uncomfortable, it can be ugly, and it should be.
It should it really should. This is important. This is
the hard work you put in in order to be fit,
in order to be prepared for the game, in order
to be prepared for the test.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
This is the slogging that you do. You battle things out,
you hurt people's feelings.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You make people uncomfortable, you make people consider positions they've
never considered. You slander people who are otherwise trustworthy because
you question their integrity.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's what you're supposed to do. How many people in.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
The Catholic Church stood by because they didn't want to
speak ill of their local priests when they knew deep
down there was a question. How many people stood by
at run and they started looking at the data coming
across and saying, wait a minute, off balance sheet, the
(29:08):
hell is this mark to what? What the hell is this?
So I've known Ted Cruz a long time. I don't
always agree with him, and I've said that and we
have had some very very nasty discussions, usually him listening
(29:32):
and me screaming. And he's actually pretty good at that,
believe it or not, because he knows it. Eventually I'll
run out of gas and he wears me down with patience.
What you saw there were two very very sharp individuals.
What you saw there were two very big egos. You
(29:53):
saw two people who are known for being very quick witted,
with a broad range of knowledge, and part of what
you saw there was a battle not for what is
the best policy, but for two reputations in how the
public sphere would perceive them. Tucker was clearly laying in wait.
(30:17):
This was John Stewart setting up Jim Kramer in the
course of a day. If you're Ted Cruz, you've been
in hearings, you've been prepped for this, you've been in meetings,
you're raising money, you're calling this person back, the President's asking.
So you walk into a meeting like that not as
prepared as the guy who is ready to effectively ambush you.
(30:40):
That was as good a discussion as you're going to
hear on the matter. I realized it made people cringe.
I realized it was if you actually watched the whole
thing and not just what Tucker. They both actually made
very good points. I happen to like them both. I'm
much closer to Ted Cruz than i am Tucker Carlson.
(31:02):
I think that that. I think it's worth your time
for the two hours, But it's not a sporting event.
The goal is not to decide who won. I think
it's a great opportunity to listen to two people make
some pretty There's a lot of snark in there, particularly
from from Tucker. It's a lot of entertainment value. But
(31:24):
they both make some very very good points. And I
think it's good to challenge yourself. I think it's good
to get out of your comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
And they both make some.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Really really good points, and I think that's how we
should be conducting these things. Iron sharpens, ironed, and it
really doesn't matter who won.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I keep hearing that.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That Ted Cruise got his ass kicked before the thing
was even made public.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Ted Cruz is a pretty darn effective debater, really really good.
But the point isn't who won. The point is what
course we should follow as a nation.
Speaker 12 (32:02):
M
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show is on the air. Let's go for it.
You ain't got no job, You're young and you got
your hails. What do you want with the job?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Crazy?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I believe we drove around all day and there's not
a single job in this town.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There is nothing, not a zecond.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, unless you want to work forty hours a week.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Really should quit that same job.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Man, Hey, man, I wish I could man seff equipment.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The whole place would fall apart with the man.
Speaker 7 (00:45):
I'm gonna need it there, man.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Responsibility is a heavy responsibility.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't like my job, and I don't think I'm
gonna go anymore. There's not gonna go. Yeah, won't you
get fired? I don't know, but I really don't like it,
and I'm not gonna go up.
Speaker 9 (01:11):
The older boy bless and So is preparing for his
career Colt Carnival.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
He's gotta be proud.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 9 (01:19):
Last season he was a pifty dust spreader on a
Teltic world. He thinks that maybe next year I'll be
guessing people's waiter marketing for the act woman.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I need a different job. I'm having real trouble in
a confined indoors space. How do you feel about working outdoors?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What else do Jeff, I'm gonna lose my job, Pilot,
and I just calm down, don't fool.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I killed the boss.
Speaker 10 (01:42):
You think they're not gonna fire me for a thing
like that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Is the first day of summer in the Northern hemisphere,
which has been called Summer Solstice. It's also the longest
day of the year moon.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (02:14):
And the.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Closest the second place to the longest day of the
year is the Monday after.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I want to make sure I comment on the Tucker
Carlson Ted Cruz conversation because a number of you have
asked that I do, and I had not seen the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So as I was going to sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Last night, I remembered I had not done that, and
I thought, well, I should probably comment on that in
the morning, so let me do it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's a two hour long banter.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's rather and I have some thoughts. I don't think
very many people have watched the entirety of it, and
I think that that changes the dynamic quite a bit,
as opposed to the short little excerpts that Tucker Crossing's
people sent out. But that's sort of the design, right
(03:19):
You say, watch this thing and here's a clip of it,
and you play the clip that inures to your benefit.
It's sort of like, you know, if you were an
Arkansas baseball fan, you went to bed the other night
thinking you beat LSU and you wake up and you
haven't because all you saw was a clip of you leading.
And then you find out your left fielder took a
shot off the top of his head.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
How does that happen? That poor guy? Ough Man? Tom,
You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
Go ahead, sir, all Rightael, all right? So jealous of you?
You celebrating your wedding anniversary and last week she's got
to be Father's Day with them two beautiful children. And
I just enjoy listening to you, and I wish I
(04:09):
could trade places with you for about two hours. But
that a man talking about before the hour break, there
is all this stuff going crazy, iness world. I want
to go back to the time when I see Americans
proud of America. I remember when I was a child,
(04:31):
it was love it or leave it. And if you
ain't got time for America and the flag and the
national anthem and hot dogs on Memorial Day, then get
your ass out of here. And it's this whole thought
(04:54):
process about, well, we got to cater to the people
in the wheelchairs because they're having a tough life, and
we got to cater to this minority because of XYZ,
and now we have to treat the gaze a certain way. Well,
I've seen so many of these things in my time,
(05:16):
where they split off into twenty seven thirty seven subgroups
of each little problem. And if people will find a
goal in life, look straight at it and go after
it with everything they've got every day they wake up,
(05:39):
love their family, love Jesus, and do what they need
to do. We can be a hell of a country.
But as long as we keep being turn to the left,
turn to the right, sit down, stand up, and don't fight,
we are going to go straight down the drain. And
(06:03):
you ain't there yet, but I'm getting close enough to
where it won't be much longer. I won't be here
on this earth anymore. And it's a shame of where
things are going. And don't even get me started talking
about the debt that America has and how much of
(06:28):
this debt has gone to propping up other countries that
would kill every one of us if they got two
seconds too. I was reading the other day, I think
now per capita in America, per taxpayer. Now I got
to say that per taxpayer, because there's a lot of
(06:49):
people right here in America that are riding on this
gravy train and not doing anything to push the train forward.
But I was reading it. Her capita per taxpayer, we're
standing at three hundred and twenty to three hundred thirty
five thousand dollars per person to satisfy this death. What
(07:11):
is seven trillion, seven bazillion? I don't know. But anyways,
happy anniversary to you and your wife, and y'all enjoy
each other. And then two and God bless all of us.
My ex wife, she ended up getting the place down
(07:35):
there north of Refurio, south of Victoria, little ten acres,
out in the middle of nowhere, and she always had
problems with the illegals coming through and that raid her
little shock that she had out there with her lawnmower
and her tools and everything like that. Well, just about
(07:58):
a year and year and two months ago now I
got the news that they found her dead in her
car and she was in her house coat and didn't
have nothing but her keys. She had left her first
inside the house and they clet her throat killed her.
(08:23):
That's where we're at, and just put it on a Michael.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Barrisson Michael Varry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I did not see that coming. That call will go
down in uh in the ten most memorable calls of
all time. That's up there with Annie and that woman
(08:52):
that hates ramone from Katie Linda oh Man. Does she
hate you? I wish she would call back again. I
miss her. I miss her so badly. Man oh Man,
do I miss her?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
She was.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
She was something special her that was she was a caller.
Now people would talk about her for weeks after that. John,
you're on the Michael Berry Show, go ahead a creek himself. Yeah,
that's her. Yeah, Yes, gosh, she was good. John, you're up.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Yes, I see where the powers should be or angling
for taxpayers of Harrison County to fun repairs at Toyota
Center and in her Gie In spite of the owners
(09:53):
of of of those clubs there are you know, multi
billionaires and when you're taking consideration, the Boston Celsics were
recently sold for six billion dollars and at the other
day the lawsuit interest Lakers were sold for ten billion dollars.
(10:19):
Don't you think the owners of those up the Rockets
and the Texans, cnel Ford, their loan repairs and taxpayers
of Harris County.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You know, it's a very interesting question, John, Thank you
for the call. The Bus family, which has long owned
the Los Angeles Lakers, they didn't sell the entirety of
the team for ten billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
They just sold a majority interest.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
The guy to whom they sold it is named Mark Walter.
He's already the majority owner of the Dodger. There's his business.
He's the CEO and chairman of a company called TWG Global.
He has stakes in Chelsea in the English Premier League,
(11:12):
and I don't know how many billion that's worth. He's
got an F one racing team and he was at
twenty one percent ownership already, so all they technically they
could have sold him at a minimum. I don't know
the exact percentage they sold him, but at a ten
billion dollar valuation, presuming you're not counting what he's already
(11:37):
put in. If that's just the go forward number, they
could have sold him as little as twenty nine point
one percent and got him to be a majority owner.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know what that number looks like.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That is the largest sale of a professional sports franchise
in world history. That includes soccer, baseball, basketball, all of
it talk about a return on investment. Jerry Buss bought
the Lakers in nineteen seventy nine for sixty seven million dollars.
(12:18):
But he also got the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, the
hockey team, and the forum in Inglewood where both the
Lakers and the Clippers call home, so it wasn't just
the team he paid that for. He died in twenty thirteen.
(12:38):
His daughter, Jeanie, has been running the team since he died.
In what I'm reading is that she will continue to
do so. Random side note, comedian Jay Moore hit the
mother load.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Some of you may remember.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
When I ran our three stations, which is KPRC where
you hear producer Kenny and Walton and Johnson, nine to
fifty AM where Rush used to be, and katr H,
which you're listening to now. In seven to ninety our
sports station kbm ME, we had on mid morning's Jay Moore,
who was a comedian and a sports guy. Well, he
(13:23):
ends up marrying billionaire Genie Buss, so you get to
hang out with the Lakers have billions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I mean, that's that's a pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
They're saying that the most valuable franchise today is the
Dallas Cowboys, were it to ever be sold, and I
think either before he dies or shortly after, the Jones
family will we'll sell them because I think they'd rather
have the cash. Jerry Jones enjoyed the money, because what's
(13:58):
the point of having all these faceless if you have
no word to show it off?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But in answer to your question, who should pay repairs.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
For these facilities?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I will answer that coming up, Michael Berry, show.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You you don't shine, you won't rise you. I never
(14:49):
seen the standing someone you won't hear me? Fine, this
is my test, a fine, please leave me more. You
know who, as long as.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
There is.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Is probably a creep? What do you think about bear song?
Speaker 11 (15:20):
More than and.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
We'll probably sit around and cook some soups and eat
bread and desserts and just get on fat and say.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
You know what I mean, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 10 (15:41):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You know what I'm saying, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Let's get here. Hold get a mess my mouth.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
You don't.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
She get my phone number out to to out lesbians.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You and me, Baby Harvey, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Go ahead, sir, my oh, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
And I just want to say the calls about light,
the left and the left, I believe I understand why
they're so messed up. And for the past twenty five years,
I've been studying scripture, not every day, but at least
every week. And if you take the three John letters,
(17:25):
the first one is only five little chapters. And if
you've got a good print Bible that hasn't been altered
electronically like some of the electronic websites.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
One John is clear.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
There's only two forces in the universe, light and darkness.
Jesus is the light and Satan is the darkness. There
are no agnostics and atheists. Agnostics may be in the
light because they're sitting on the fence. Atheists are in
the dark because they don't want to know God. Now,
the problem is being in the light is voluntary, you
(17:59):
choose to be there, and being in the darkness is
the default position of the light. And quite a few
years ago the Democrats started victing God from their party.
God isn't there anymore, but Satan's there because he received
them when God defaulted them to the dark. And that
(18:21):
explains everything, because Satan has no good in it. That's
about what I wanted to say.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Very well, said sir, very well said, thank you for
the call. Let's go to Tricia. Tricia, you're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Go ahead, Hi, Michael, thank you for taking my call.
I just wanted to share with you that recently, actually
May twentieth, I donated my Texas Cowboy hat. I was
a delegate for the National Convention to the Smithsonian. I
altered the hat during that time to reflect J sixers,
and two of the J sixers on the hat met
(18:59):
me in DC and for the ceremony at the Smithsonian,
and it was just a real honor and it felt
really great to do something positive for JA sixers, and
they really appreciated it well. So I just wanted to
share that with you. It was kind of.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Cool, Tricia.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
When you say two of the J sixers on the hat,
what do you mean by that?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
Okay, so there's a. I took the hat and I
put pictures of JA sixers on the hat. One of
them was Jeremy Brown. He's a Greenborrey Master Sergeant and
a J Sixer. And I chose him because prior to this,
I was doing speeches, trying to do speeches. I'm not
a public speaker. I hate public speaking, but I was
trying to get the word out and I wanted to
(19:41):
research some of the Jay Sixers. Well, I stumbled upon
Jeremy Brown. And one of the things Jeremy said was
don't do nothing. That's all he was asking us from
us was just to not do you know, to to
do something. So I thought, okay, well I'm gonna learn
about him. And I spoke to my congressman about it,
and I spoke to Jim Jordan's team about him. I
spoked a lot people, but anyway, I chose Jeremy Brown
(20:01):
for that reason. And I chose Sarah Carpenter, who was
a nine to eleven first responder with MTV and her
story is really incredible. Her. Sarah and I became friends
and I wrote to her while she was in prison,
and she when I told her, you know that we
were going into the Smithsonian. She asked if she could come,
and I said, of course. I really had no idea
(20:22):
that they would want to, but they did, and they
saw it as a huge honor and it's one of
the few, maybe the only, that they've gotten thus far.
So I'm just proud of it and proud of them.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You should be proud. And you didn't do nothing, Yes,
I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well said, you know, people like you, Tricia, are the
best of politics. I I think I'm a pretty good
judge of character, and I've come to appreciate their most women,
not only women, not exclusively women, but mostly women. They're
(21:06):
mostly i'll say forty plus who have such pure hearts
and good intentions and want the best for our country.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
In their kind and generous. They're usually people of deep faith.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
They're people who love, love, love their family and their country,
and they'll do anything. If you have the good sense
to ask that person to help you, you are you
are going to succeed because they are tenacious. You know
all the things I hear you doing. It that takes effort,
(21:52):
not an easy thing to do. It takes getting off
the couch, it takes booking the flight, being there when
You're supposed to getting these things done, making the calls,
having the meetings. It takes a lot of effort, and
yet you you do it. I mean like drunk Mark,
drunk Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
I'm good at Uh yeah, drunk Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I got to thinking about something.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Every time you call, you're drunk, and I'm wondering where
do you get the money and the booze? Because that's
actually work to say that, to stay that drunk all time?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
How do you know if I'm drunk or not? But
I don't want you to come me off before I have,
before I face something. I'm going to get my ID today.
I just want to give you update.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I'm going to.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Hymstead get my I D. And I'm debating whether or
not if I should go to court on first on the
first but or just go back to the Salvation Army.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Because I need a lawyer. I need a real lawyer.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Yeah, this Cortery Portals lawyer ain't gonna do nothing for him, right.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Market If you really don't, Michael Barry, show.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
How you doing that? This is Shirley cute liquor.
Speaker 11 (23:30):
I'm confirming about the dwindling amount of black white women's
we have left singing. You know, Old Tina Turner says
she's gonna go back to the house and sit up
in the recline and say she threw sixty years old,
bless the heart. She needs some time off, and Diana
Rossa concert bombed out. Nobody will won't see her with
(23:52):
that four foot wig on coming out there. She just
looked like hide stretched over a skeleton wearing some wings.
You don't come, I'm coming out.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
She needs to go back. And Aretha lost. She don't
hardly perform no more. She can't get out of her house,
and she's scared to get on the airplane.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
I don't blame it, because they sure enough make her
fly cargo. I did not say that about the queen.
And so it's out there, so we don't have no
girls coming up that's any good. Whitney and them, oh lord,
Whitney Houston and lost her minds. She on that uh
weeds and the Bobby is just beating her down and everything,
(24:34):
and you know that that'll killer lady spirit and so
little Kim. All she do is flash her breakfasts everywhere,
and the rest of the girls out here on the
radio just talk so nasty on them wrap stations. They're
just practically tell the men's anything anything to the men's,
where's the women's says it's shame no more? You know,
(24:58):
whatever happened to a Billy Holiday, Pearl Bailey, Mom's mably
Lewanda Page. You know the girls was good? Millie Jackson.
They show up and do their cursing and go home.
Oh lord, I don't know. I just need to go
to a concert. I'm more concert oriented than most people here.
(25:19):
Tell you Mama as has she do a Mexican She
get tickets to Earth Wind and Fire.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Or two Live Crew. I don't care, but I had.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It, man.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
I love.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
From On the subject of the.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Tucker Crossing Ted Cruz discussion, Now, before I begin to comment,
and before you send me an email that says I
took this or that side, or I declared this or
that person one, that is your shortcoming, not mine.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That is on you.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
To begin with, we're talking about nuclear weaponry. We're talking
about the apocalypse. You're talking about the death of millions
of people if nuclear weaponry is deployed. And you're talking
about the stability of the world here and whether we
(26:42):
do something or don't do something. Both of those are
major decisions. Let's start there, and so a number of people,
dare I say it, have a rather immature approach to
the subject. If you can decide what we do in
(27:06):
this situation in less than ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Without any consideration.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
For the facts as they currently exist, which are different
than ten years ago and different than fifty years ago,
and you don't go looking to ferret out different opinions.
I don't think we're good stewards of the republic.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It's easy to just be the guy that's forebombing or
the guy that's against any military action.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
It's easy. You don't have to think. So let's start
with the.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Idea that in a nation of self governance, as opposed
to a monarchy, a dictatorship, whatever that entity looks like,
we discuss things, We debate them feverishly, passionately, and that
(28:06):
can be uncomfortable, it can be ugly, and it should be.
It should it really should. This is important. This is
the hard work you put in in order to be fit,
in order to be prepared for the game, in order
to be prepared for the test.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
This is the slogging that you do. You battle things out,
you hurt people's feelings.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You make people uncomfortable, you make people consider positions they've
never considered. You slander people who are otherwise trustworthy because
you question their integrity.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's what you're supposed to do. How many people in.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
The Catholic Church stood by because they didn't want to
speak ill of their local priests when they knew deep
down there was a question. How many people stood by
at run and they started looking at the data coming
across and saying, wait a minute, off balance sheet, the
(29:08):
hell is this mark to what? What the hell is this?
So I've known Ted Cruz a long time. I don't
always agree with him, and I've said that and we
have had some very very nasty discussions, usually him listening
(29:32):
and me screaming. And he's actually pretty good at that,
believe it or not, because he knows it. Eventually I'll
run out of gas and he wears me down with patience.
What you saw there were two very very sharp individuals.
What you saw there were two very big egos. You
(29:53):
saw two people who are known for being very quick witted,
with a broad range of knowledge, and part of what
you saw there was a battle not for what is
the best policy, but for two reputations in how the
public sphere would perceive them. Tucker was clearly laying in wait.
(30:17):
This was John Stewart setting up Jim Kramer in the
course of a day. If you're Ted Cruz, you've been
in hearings, you've been prepped for this, you've been in meetings,
you're raising money, you're calling this person back, the President's asking.
So you walk into a meeting like that not as
prepared as the guy who is ready to effectively ambush you.
(30:40):
That was as good a discussion as you're going to
hear on the matter. I realized it made people cringe.
I realized it was if you actually watched the whole
thing and not just what Tucker. They both actually made
very good points. I happen to like them both. I'm
much closer to Ted Cruz than i am Tucker Carlson.
(31:02):
I think that that. I think it's worth your time
for the two hours, But it's not a sporting event.
The goal is not to decide who won. I think
it's a great opportunity to listen to two people make
some pretty There's a lot of snark in there, particularly
from from Tucker. It's a lot of entertainment value. But
(31:24):
they both make some very very good points. And I
think it's good to challenge yourself. I think it's good
to get out of your comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
And they both make some.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Really really good points, and I think that's how we
should be conducting these things. Iron sharpens, ironed, and it
really doesn't matter who won.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I keep hearing that.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That Ted Cruise got his ass kicked before the thing
was even made public.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Ted Cruz is a pretty darn effective debater, really really good.
But the point isn't who won. The point is what
course we should follow as a nation.
