Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air to Houston area
(00:30):
schools playing for the state baseball championship, Memorial High School
and Tomball High School, with Tomball coming out on top.
Their coach Doug Rush is our guest. Apparently, as I
was going to break, I said Memorial High School coach
Doug Rush instead of Tomball High School. I know the difference.
Sometimes I've got three screens up and I'm looking. I
(00:51):
was actually looking at the roster of Memorial kids as
I did that, because I was formulating my next question
and we were out of time. I know some of
the kids on that team because my kids grew up
with them. Did Sporandio pitch in your in your game?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yes? He did. He did a really good pitcher.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's a really good it's a good little athlete. I'll
watch that kid grow up. He's a good little athlete.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think he had like a zero point five four
e R going in and we did him pretty good.
They made a couple of hours. We had a really
good game plan, uh to prepare for him, so and
we executed the game plan. So I was really proud
of our kids. But he, you know, East throws the
ball ninety four eighty five miles an hour and got
a couple of good breaking pitches. So he's going to
(01:39):
have a really special career at Texas. Oh wow, okay,
I was going to tell you, hey, listen, I heard
you call him Memorial coach. I'm I'm in a twenty
fifteen f one fifty and I'm sitting outside the bowling
alley and Tom ball.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So if I.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Was if Memorial people saw on it right now, they
asked me that we'd eat their law.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh he's been waiting on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I went to Orangefield High School and we would come
to Houston to debate the bell Air kids in their
penny loafers and glaziers, and and boy did we when
we whipped them, it was extra good.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It was like a movie scene, you know that we
had beat those those fancy prissy kids and we were
country bumpkins. That is well played. You know he's been
thinking about that one, Ramon, tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yes, I had, Well, we have we have some cuttry
bumpkins driving eight thousand dollars pickups around here.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I wanted to tell you, Yeah, we like to play
the poor card.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Don't get two carried away there, you know, because Magnolia
makes fun of y'all. Now for thinking y'all are the
river Roaks of Northwest. This Kate Aaron Beadie kid. You
coached him, that's at at the standout at LSU.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I did. Yeah, he played our program. He's another way
of our.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Four year starters and he's just was a phenomenal kid.
He was on at twenty twenty four state champship team.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was looking up tomball kids that went on to
Major League Baseball. I don't know how old this list is.
Robert Duggar, did you coach him?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, he's the only one that's made it of the
four that have played in the majors. He played on
that two thousand he fished in a twenty thirteen state
championship game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Phenomenal kid. He's got some time.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
In the big leagues and in the minor leagues, and
he's played overseas a little bit. And then I've had
two or three that you know, I thought would make
it and just came. It's super difficult, you know. Nick
banks Off twenty thirteen state championship team he was a
standout at A and M, and he just didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Make it past Triple A. And then I had a
kid name Josh bro who's.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Playing in Triple A and the White Sox organization now,
and he was on There was a twenty fifteen team
went to state and I think he graduated around sixteen
or seventeen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They all kind of run.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Together, but we've had some we've had some really good players.
But honestly, you know, Tomball is just a town that
the community gets so behind. I always call it a
throwback down. They just get so excited about their sports
and uh very excited about their baseball team, and the
kids grow up just wanting to play here. So it's
(04:11):
really more of a team thing. That's how we accomplish
everything that we do. And and our parents they want
their kids to be coached hard and coach fair, and
they don't get all in your business. So it's just
a great place to coach, great place to play.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I would assume, knowing a number of people out there,
a lot of listeners there and friends that live there,
that that's going to be a community where they're wanting
you to raise a young man as opposed to just
a baseball player and win baseball games. And that's really
what it's about.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That is what it's about. It's a beautiful thing. Yeah,
it's it's it's hard to find a place like this
or what you do. It's it's, uh, it's it's really awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
When you compare your teams to other teams without mentioning
any in particular. You've obviously had great success, What do
you think differentiates your team? What are the things that
you say I'm gonna brag on myself a look, because
you asked me to. This is what my teams have.
Because a lot of teams.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Have talent, you know, they just they don't buy into
the individual and individualism stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I'm not saying a.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Lot on all the other teams do they donald There's
there's a lot of extremely well coached and talented Texas
high school baseball teams. It's it's a it's just a
great sport and a great experience for the kids.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But we we really work on the little.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Things and we always talked about, hey, this is what
you got to do to win two to one and
three to two baseball games. You know, anybody can blow
anybody out. But when you get when you get into
the nut cutting time and it's you know, you against
somebody else, it's just as good at you. Here's the
things we got to work on to to win the
baseball game. And our kids they it might get boring
(05:48):
and tedious at times, but they believe it and they
work on it and we try to get good at it.
And just like this week, we worked on you know,
hitting the picture for memorial. I mean all week long,
we just drill and drilled and drilled and drilled, and
they bought into it and came out executed.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I was really proud of him.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I got a message from a friend of mine named
Cody Johnson, not that Cody Johnson and not that Cody Johnson,
but he owns a company called sign Press and uh
when for high schools and universities when you go in
and you know they've got the sign down the wall.
He said he wants to donate a big four by
four for y'all for Tomboll High School out there at
his cost. He's got some friends. I know him. I
(06:28):
know Adam done through him, and I think you know
done some way or another.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yes, I know my son places the Marucci Organization.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, that's that's where I first got your number this morning. Okay, yeah,
everybody I know, Clint Cannon sent me your number. I
guess you coached him. Chance Mock sent me your number.
I don't know how you know.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Chance.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, Chance and Chance's kid and our kids and my
kid played with Marucci and Chance and I spent the
time on the beach together. You know, he looks like
a Greek god and now I look like Tom Selleck.
So uh you know that was in South Carolina, so yeah, yeah,
well okay maybe so but anyway, sorry, Magna p I whatever. Now,
(07:09):
but Chance, we became really close and we're good friends.
And Adams just the greatest guy ever. And then you
know Colinn he was he was a standout football player
before it became a rodeo guy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That doesn't surprise me, because you know, he was in
his forties and still rodeoing beyond what anybody else was doing,
despite every bone being broken. And I saw an article
written about him and it was because he was in
He was in such good physical shit was like tiger Woods.
He brought something to the sport that had never been
done before. Uh well, coach, congratulations to you. I know
(07:41):
that Tom Ball is proud of you. I think these
are fun things to talk about. It'll be fun to
watch these young men go on in life to success,
not just in baseball, but in life from what you've
taught him. Keep up the good work. We look forward
to seeing how y'all do next year.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, hey, I appreciate the interviews. Something.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
By the way, could you you weed it over over
on the side, right over there? Just hit that one
little spot right and get the monkey crash.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, I missed that spot. I'll go get it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Thank you, Thank you, Bud A million dollars. Can you
imagine that that's a hell of a bonus. And a
million dollars they probably buy a new truck. He didn't
seem excited. Cody offer at side. Cody doesn't all anything.
He doesn't pick up Michael Barry show.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's worried.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Ladies, you're not gonna like what I have to say.
It's not directed that you don't take that as a
bad thing. This is locanvar and the ladies aren't allowed
to play. It's just the way it is. There are
certain times that guys want to hang out with just guys.
Doesn't mean we don't love you. It's a natural biological thing.
(08:54):
I still think it's odd that men go to showers.
But when my niece Bailey invited me to hersh hower
and I was told it was important that I be there,
I brought the corn dogs from the walmart there in
Bridge City. I'm supposed to be there, I'll be there.
But to me, that's a girl thing, and I am
a believer that there is something very healthy and natural
(09:19):
to guy only things in girl only things. When you
ask a man my age, tell me about your happiest memories,
they will start with what they think they're supposed to say,
and then, if they're honest, you little whiskey in them
a time about a time, man, you were happy in
(09:41):
a way that you haven't been happy. And what's going
on is their brain is unlocking a moment in the past,
and that moment is when they didn't worry about offending anybody.
They didn't worry about conformity, they didn't worry you see,
(10:01):
in a multi cultural society, in a corporate environment, in
an hr driven world, at a time when people are
highly sensitive, when everybody around you is in therapy, there
is no joy in Mudville nobody is happy, nobody even
(10:23):
people who otherwise would be. You ever watch a video
of James Tallerico the Seminarian, speaking at the Sacred Seminary
of Stuart Smally, You will see that it is basically
a therapy session of everything that might make someone feel
like a reject, degenerate, outcast, weirdo, oddball and normalizing it.
(10:49):
And it's all in that same Stuart Smally affirmation tone.
And you're thinking, and it's always a clip of it,
So I guess they could argue you took it out
of context unless that was a stand up routine and
that was a character he was doing. How in the
world did you end up there? You'll see these things
(11:10):
there he is with Alfred Newman. You'll come to the side.
The clip will go something like and so there is
nothing wrong with a man what wants to have his
willie cut off, because that is as natural as being
born without a willie. A hole as a hole, whether
(11:31):
it was plugged with a post oak digger or you
were born with it, both of those are natural. That woman,
as I use the term, because woman should not just
be someone with the uterus. That woman, in all her glory,
can have a period once a month, and that woman
(11:51):
can have a baby and cramps, and once a month
can be in a bad mood and can go shopping
all afternoon, and can meet her girlfriends for rose, and
can wear high heels and complain how her feet are
hurting and put too many pillows on the bed, because
that is a woman, and a woman is a woman.
(12:11):
And then the crowd yay, and somewhere in that crowd,
because it's kind of a self selection, right, who shows
up at that church. There's certain symbols out front to say,
freak show, festival, come on. And so if you don't
feel a part of anything else, you come to this
and you get there and they're like, it'd be the
(12:33):
equivalent of a fat people anonymous. You go waddling in
or you're on your scooter and they go, he' not
wrong being nine hundred pounds. You Ah, I've been seen,
I've been heard. Right, That's what this is about. That's
what this is about. So when you ask a man
to tell you about his happiest memories, there's a couple
(12:55):
of things that come up.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
For a guy.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
My age in a certain set of society, youth sports.
The longer they played, the more memories they have, but
youth sports will be something that they will talk about
of their childhood. Youth sports will be a big part
of that. For athletes who play through high school and beyond,
(13:22):
they will talk about their teammates and they will talk
about them in a way that will make their wives
jealous because there is such a deep connection. That's one.
Number two is the military, especially men who served, and
especially men who served in war, will tell you stories
(13:45):
of their boys. They build such a deep camaraderie it's required,
just as a baseball team is now to a lesser degree.
But on that same vein follow me here, same theme
is a fraternity And what really is a fraternity at
a big school like A and M or especially UT,
(14:06):
which was the first to kind of skew from the norm.
I think A and M's followed in close order. What
does a fraternity do? It makes a small town out
of the metropolis. It creates a sense of forced belonging.
It allows for a series of engagements, events, rituals that
(14:32):
build a bond that is a very deep bond. This
is what the Mason's was about. Need men need this
more than women, and we're biologically wired this way. By
the way, if you're butt hurting your woman, don't send
me an email. I've already heard it all. It doesn't
make it any less true. When you do that, you
(14:53):
might as well be James Tallerico telling me a grown
man can have a period. It's it's a biological fact.
Men need these sorts of things. This is why men
need a fishing trip with the guys, or a hunting
trip with the guys. Now, I am not condoning a
married man going out with his buddies to the strip
clubs with the corporate credit card and taking strippers to
(15:16):
a hotel and screw them. That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm not talking about those sorts of things that are
destructive to a home relationship and a nuclear family. I'm
talking about moments in a guy's life. Poker night. Guys
are wired to need that. Many women want to join,
(15:36):
and understandably because they look at the energy. They see
that energy and they say, and it's true, we don't
have anything like that as women. I want to come join, y'all.
This happens all the time. Men never want to join
women's stuff. I have a friend named Richard Minader, he
(15:57):
was the editorial page editor of the Wall Street Journal.
He wrote opinions all day. Still does I think he's
in Europe now, But he was in the first class
of the now co ed Vassar. So who's first class
of boys to go to an all girls school? And
he thought Rich Pickens right, because I'll be the only
(16:20):
dude as a bunch of women. And he has written extensively
about how everything Vassar had been was destroyed because he says,
my presence there meant they couldn't open up and trust
and women aren't even wired the same way as women
as men in that way. But baseball, sports, team sports,
what he's talking about right there, that is an important
(16:40):
part the development of a certain type of man. So
last weekend, I had never seen Casablanca all the way through.
And I have found that the best thing for me
to do to disengage from the news of the day
(17:02):
is to fire the synapses of my mind by good
classical literature, music, film, sports, And so I started looking
for movies that I had not seen. So I looked
(17:23):
back at the AFI top one hundred films. It was Casablanca,
and it's kind of one of those things that it's
sort of like a word you use but you couldn't
really define. Or when your kid comes home with math homework.
You're not quite old enough for this for moment, but
you will be very soon considering where they are, and
(17:44):
they'll come home and you know, dad, did you ever
do quadratic equations? And you go, yeah, well could you
help me with this? And you know, you know what
a trinomeal is? But damned if you can't remember right now.
(18:06):
You know there was a time you knew, but you
just can't remember right now. Who was Dan Pastorini's backup quarterback?
Well it uh uh, well, I yeah, you can't quite
just tip of your tongue. You just can't remember exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So I go.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I watch it, and a lot of a lot of
the old stuff you have to kind of put into put.
You know, the props are going to be poorly done.
The driving scenes are a little distracting because she's always
gonna be sitting next to him, and you know, there's
a screen behind you in the car isn't moving? Whoa boy,
We've come a long way. Hell, And they're having the conversation.
(18:53):
They're out, they're out on a drive and it's in
a convertible and that's when the conversation happens. And it's
just this kind of traditional set. It was the same
set on the same set, you know there in California.
But not only does the movie hold up, but it
is as good today. I don't know if it's as
(19:15):
good as good today as it was in it was
nineteen forty two. It's a long time ago, especially in film.
If you watch a lot of film, Uh, there's some
stuff in the forties that you watch today and it
is amazing, but there's a lot that is just sort
of the acting is from a different era. Shall we say, Oh, Rodrigo,
(19:36):
could you be by man? And she runs to him
and puts her head on her on his shoulder, and
he stands there and it's like, you know the snls
get on the on the Spanish soap opera. You know,
it's it's a little over the top, but that movie anyway,
So that song plays as a theme of this very moving,
(19:58):
meaningful moment. And I won't ruin it for you because
I know some of you have already, at my request,
gone back and watched Casablanca, and the review not one
person has said I don't know why you sent me that.
The people who've taken me up on seeing him said, wow,
thanks for recommending that. What's next? That was great and
a fair to remember. We'll get to that. So so
(20:18):
they have Dooley Wilson singing that song, just him on
the piano, and he does have a big band behind him.
But then it is what I think they call in
Broadway musicals a late motif, that music sets a theme
memory as in Cats does this, or they do it
in Phano of the opera. A late motif is when
(20:41):
music is a character enters a scene and that is
his theme music, that's his walk up song. Then any
time the characteristics of that character are invoked, bravery, sacrifice,
on or defiance, you'll get that in the background to
(21:02):
remind your brain, Oh, that's the theme we're setting here.
Pretty cool use of music, and it's you know, hundreds
of years old that they learned to do this. And
so there are moments where Dooley Wilson is not in
Rix's American Cabaret or whatever it is, playing on the
piano because he's the guy, he's the piano man. But
(21:25):
they will be in other places. Rix's apartment which is upstairs.
But in that music will play Rix Cabaret, no, not
Rix Cabaret, rix whatever it is, and that music will
play and it's just a symphony of it. And it
reminded me. Lyle Lovett played at Jones Hall on Friday night,
and so it was interesting because you've mostly heard Lyle
(21:49):
love it either stripped down in the you know, post
Anderson Fair days of just a guy and his guitar
and then you'd have you know, his arrangements were never
heavy on you know that they were. They were vocal forward,
kind of Americana style, not over the top. And then
if you've seen him do the big band show, it's
(22:12):
it's a different it's a different deal. But to have
the symphony behind him, it was it was sweeping. You
know that there were songs that you you know, that's right,
you're not from Texas, sounded very different with a symphony
behind it. Or you know, my pony on a on
a boat sounds very different. Uh, taking my pony out
(22:34):
on a boat sounds very different with a symphony behind it.
So anyway, after the show, he said, what'd you think?
I said, Uh, it's an interesting way to hear you
because it was different than the big band. I liked
it much better. But it was almost like the symphony
(22:55):
was an auto tune for you. And he kind of
pulled back like, well, that's kind of a slap in
the face. And I realized at that moment that I
guess that would be how that would proceed. But it
wasn't what I meant. What happened was in the back
of my mind. I had those scenes in Casablanca where
(23:17):
they would play the symphony very softly, setting that mood,
and it felt like it took his vocals and the
songs and it and it just added this this sort
of flow to it. It was like his songs went
from being a guy singing at you in a linear fashion,
(23:38):
face to face, directed at you rifle style, to this
river flowing past you.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Like sounder river, you don't like sounder river. Oh you
don't like my sound of the river. Oka, I do
it again. So it's this river flows, okay, riverfall, waterfall?
So this waterfall? Oh no, my sound effects are not good. Oh.
Given in Niagara Falls on the US side of the
(24:08):
Canadian side. I hate to sound prissy, but it's kind
of like when you tell somebody you just saw last
picture show and they go, book's better. I think, what
you're trying to tell me you read a book. So
so the true story is Niagara Falls is a lot
better from the Canadian side. Do you agree it's a
(24:31):
better view. I can't really explain why it's a better view,
but it's it's a better view. It's not how it's
supposed to be. But anyway, buddy of mine was texting
me last night. He sent me this, this video that
was very funny, and I asked him if he's in
Colorado because he's a ski instructor. But he's back in Alberta, Edmonton, Edmonton, Alberta,
(24:55):
and I said, oh. He said, come visit me. I said,
I can't come up. There's too many Canadians. He goes,
Alberta is the Texas of Canada. This is the Michael
Berry Show. So men need camaraderie, discipline, structure. I only
(25:16):
raise boys, so my comparison with girls is not as
solid as those of you who've raised a boy and
a girl. It goes without saying, but I will say it.
Boys and girls are biologically very different. Now there is
(25:37):
a continuum of boys and girls and how masculine or
traditionally feminine they are. I often told younger men that
I'm mentored find you a tomboy, because the more girly
(25:57):
the girl, the more daddies. Girls spoiled brad, high maintenance,
lots of medical treatments. You have to spoil me, You
have to do all these things. I don't do anything
for myself. You get about ten years old, and she
don't want to do anything for the kids because she
(26:18):
wants it all to be about herself. And I've seen
that that's not what you want. You marry a tomboy
who's on the more masculine end of that spectrum. A
girl that played softball and had I tell you what
you marry. You marry a girl that had about five
older brothers, because she's tough and she can hold her
(26:40):
own and she's not sensitive. Sensitive is a bad word
with girls. You get you one that's sensitive. She's crying
all the time, and that's one of those situations where
you don't know what you've done and she starts crying
and now you're being held emotionally hostage. A lot of
guys that get trapped into that. That's awful. That is awful.
(27:00):
That's the one that's unstable. You're on eggshells all the time.
You never know when something will be perceived the wrong way.
She's highly jealous because she liked the girl at the
pageant waiting to be picked, and she views you as
studying all the other girls. No matter what you're doing.
(27:22):
You're looking for a waitress. She thinks you're studying it.
You don't want that kind of girl. You want a
girl whose mother was who. You don't want the girl
that's talking to her mama five times a day. Seen
it happen too many times because you'll never actually bond
with her. She's not allowed to attach. As they say,
with an animal that you take in, you can't attach
because every single thing you do, she's running it past
(27:44):
mama as to should he do this? Should I make
him do this? Should I make him do this? Should
he do this? Should I hold out for this? Should
I do this? You don't want that. So the great
organizations have a narrow shared bond, a code, you know,
a Samurai code that they follow. When you look at
(28:06):
what that Tomball High School baseball team or Memorial High
School baseball team are. The great football teams, The Patriots.
Even the older they get, and the more money gets
involved and more ego gets involved, the harder. You look
at a Saban coached football team, you look at a
Daryl K. Royal coach football team, you're talking about a
(28:27):
lot of discipline. You look at the Junction Boys or
Paul Bear Bryant teams or Paterno teams, you are talking
about a great deal of shared suffering, shared values, and
a love, an absolute alrite love in the Greek sense
(28:50):
of a very fraternal love. And that's what the fraternity
was designed on the university campus to mimic. When you
take that away, you no longer have the bond, You're
no longer all rowing in the same direction. You lose
something that is hard to explain, and that is the
(29:13):
change in the corporate work environment of the last fifty years.
Because the Hillary Clintons came in as a wedge into
the old boy's network. Well it wasn't an old boys network,
it was just a network. It just so happened that
they were nobody's complaining that the NFL's all male. But
if a woman goes into the locker room, which they
(29:34):
insisted that they do for some reason, you had to
have the women's sports reports go in the locker room,
so now the men have to be clothed at all
the time, when they just really wanted to be relaxed.
It wasn't an exhibition, but no, no, we got to
get in here. Why oh no, he showed me his
And then you have all of the drama and all
of the sensitivity and everyone getting upset, and in that environment,
(29:56):
you ruin the esprit de corps. You ruin that special
bond that makes organizations work in war on a sporting field.
In a corporate sense, it doesn't matter you lose the
things that made it special. Our diversity is our strength.
(30:19):
I don't believe that's true. I believe it's a good concept.
I don't think that we shouldn't necessarily have diversity, or
how you go about preventing diversity, I think becomes a
question that you have to be careful some people when
they say that, But when you visit Japan and you
walk away from there and you say, wow, there are
(30:41):
some things I really like about this culture, or Singapore,
there's some things I really like about this culture. And
then you walk the streets of London today, which is
basically southeast Pakistan, and you realize, wow, diversity did not
make England better. It made it far worse, far less safe,
far less comfortable. The very thing people so desperately wanted
(31:03):
to come to England for is not there anymore. Because
those people coming to England for that couldn't help themselves
but drag with them the culture they were fleeing. And
the results are clear. Japan's gain has been the loss
to Paris, London, Berlin, Helsinki, not Helsinki, Stockholm, you know,
(31:28):
not Djibouti. Do you know where? Do you know where
people are going on vacation now? Which I never would
have seen in my life? Would it? Could not have
imagined Poland? Why because Poland said, no, we're not letting
the Middle East in. Poland said We're not going to
allow Middle Eastern quote unquote refugees migrants to invade our
(31:51):
country and change our culture. Is that awful? Is that horrible?
Not for the Polish people, the Middle Eastern countries would
not have a need to be invaded by white Europeans.
They would have wanted to hold fast to their own culture.
But isn't it interesting nobody in the Western world is
(32:12):
fleeing to the Arab world to live because it's wonderful
and great. You may go there at work. Dubai is nice.
I will agree with that. Okay, that's a unique situation.
But you look at the cities. If it was possible
to live in Tehran, it is possible to live in Beirut,
it is possible to live in Damascus. Nobody wants to
(32:33):
go there and live there. Why what's wrong? Nobody wants
to go to Islamabad? Why what's wrong? What's wrong with
those cultures that white Westerners don't want to go there?
And why is it that the people of those countries
so desperately want to come to the US and Paris
and London and Berlin and Stockholm and Coconat. Why is that?
(32:55):
What is it about that that migration is one directional?
Answer that question honestly without worrying who's going to be upset,
and you will have answered the question to everything that
is wrong with white liberalism, which is trying to say
that those coming here are somehow better than those who
have created the place they so desperately want to come to.
(33:18):
How about you just go live there and celebrate them
there
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air to Houston area
(00:30):
schools playing for the state baseball championship, Memorial High School
and Tomball High School, with Tomball coming out on top.
Their coach Doug Rush is our guest. Apparently, as I
was going to break, I said Memorial High School coach
Doug Rush instead of Tomball High School. I know the difference.
Sometimes I've got three screens up and I'm looking. I
(00:51):
was actually looking at the roster of Memorial kids as
I did that, because I was formulating my next question
and we were out of time. I know some of
the kids on that team because my kids grew up
with them. Did Sporandio pitch in your in your game?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yes? He did. He did a really good pitcher.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's a really good it's a good little athlete. I'll
watch that kid grow up. He's a good little athlete.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think he had like a zero point five four
e R going in and we did him pretty good.
They made a couple of hours. We had a really
good game plan, uh to prepare for him, so and
we executed the game plan. So I was really proud
of our kids. But he, you know, East throws the
ball ninety four eighty five miles an hour and got
a couple of good breaking pitches. So he's going to
(01:39):
have a really special career at Texas. Oh wow, okay,
I was going to tell you, hey, listen, I heard
you call him Memorial coach. I'm I'm in a twenty
fifteen f one fifty and I'm sitting outside the bowling
alley and Tom ball.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
So if I.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Was if Memorial people saw on it right now, they
asked me that we'd eat their law.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh he's been waiting on that one.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I went to Orangefield High School and we would come
to Houston to debate the bell Air kids in their
penny loafers and glaziers, and and boy did we when
we whipped them, it was extra good.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It was like a movie scene, you know that we
had beat those those fancy prissy kids and we were
country bumpkins. That is well played. You know he's been
thinking about that one, Ramon, tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yes, I had, Well, we have we have some cuttry
bumpkins driving eight thousand dollars pickups around here.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I wanted to tell you, Yeah, we like to play
the poor card.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Don't get two carried away there, you know, because Magnolia
makes fun of y'all. Now for thinking y'all are the
river Roaks of Northwest. This Kate Aaron Beadie kid. You
coached him, that's at at the standout at LSU.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I did. Yeah, he played our program. He's another way
of our.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Four year starters and he's just was a phenomenal kid.
He was on at twenty twenty four state champship team.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was looking up tomball kids that went on to
Major League Baseball. I don't know how old this list is.
Robert Duggar, did you coach him?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, he's the only one that's made it of the
four that have played in the majors. He played on
that two thousand he fished in a twenty thirteen state
championship game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Phenomenal kid. He's got some time.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
In the big leagues and in the minor leagues, and
he's played overseas a little bit. And then I've had
two or three that you know, I thought would make
it and just came. It's super difficult, you know. Nick
banks Off twenty thirteen state championship team he was a
standout at A and M, and he just didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Make it past Triple A. And then I had a
kid name Josh bro who's.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Playing in Triple A and the White Sox organization now,
and he was on There was a twenty fifteen team
went to state and I think he graduated around sixteen
or seventeen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They all kind of run.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Together, but we've had some we've had some really good players.
But honestly, you know, Tomball is just a town that
the community gets so behind. I always call it a
throwback down. They just get so excited about their sports
and uh very excited about their baseball team, and the
kids grow up just wanting to play here. So it's
(04:11):
really more of a team thing. That's how we accomplish
everything that we do. And and our parents they want
their kids to be coached hard and coach fair, and
they don't get all in your business. So it's just
a great place to coach, great place to play.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I would assume, knowing a number of people out there,
a lot of listeners there and friends that live there,
that that's going to be a community where they're wanting
you to raise a young man as opposed to just
a baseball player and win baseball games. And that's really
what it's about.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That is what it's about. It's a beautiful thing. Yeah,
it's it's it's hard to find a place like this
or what you do. It's it's, uh, it's it's really awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
When you compare your teams to other teams without mentioning
any in particular. You've obviously had great success, What do
you think differentiates your team? What are the things that
you say I'm gonna brag on myself a look, because
you asked me to. This is what my teams have.
Because a lot of teams.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Have talent, you know, they just they don't buy into
the individual and individualism stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I'm not saying a.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Lot on all the other teams do they donald There's
there's a lot of extremely well coached and talented Texas
high school baseball teams. It's it's a it's just a
great sport and a great experience for the kids.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But we we really work on the little.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Things and we always talked about, hey, this is what
you got to do to win two to one and
three to two baseball games. You know, anybody can blow
anybody out. But when you get when you get into
the nut cutting time and it's you know, you against
somebody else, it's just as good at you. Here's the
things we got to work on to to win the
baseball game. And our kids they it might get boring
(05:48):
and tedious at times, but they believe it and they
work on it and we try to get good at it.
And just like this week, we worked on you know,
hitting the picture for memorial. I mean all week long,
we just drill and drilled and drilled and drilled, and
they bought into it and came out executed.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I was really proud of him.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I got a message from a friend of mine named
Cody Johnson, not that Cody Johnson and not that Cody Johnson,
but he owns a company called sign Press and uh
when for high schools and universities when you go in
and you know they've got the sign down the wall.
He said he wants to donate a big four by
four for y'all for Tomboll High School out there at
his cost. He's got some friends. I know him. I
(06:28):
know Adam done through him, and I think you know
done some way or another.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yes, I know my son places the Marucci Organization.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, that's that's where I first got your number this morning. Okay, yeah,
everybody I know, Clint Cannon sent me your number. I
guess you coached him. Chance Mock sent me your number.
I don't know how you know.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Chance.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, Chance and Chance's kid and our kids and my
kid played with Marucci and Chance and I spent the
time on the beach together. You know, he looks like
a Greek god and now I look like Tom Selleck.
So uh you know that was in South Carolina, so yeah, yeah,
well okay maybe so but anyway, sorry, Magna p I whatever. Now,
(07:09):
but Chance, we became really close and we're good friends.
And Adams just the greatest guy ever. And then you
know Colinn he was he was a standout football player
before it became a rodeo guy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That doesn't surprise me, because you know, he was in
his forties and still rodeoing beyond what anybody else was doing,
despite every bone being broken. And I saw an article
written about him and it was because he was in
He was in such good physical shit was like tiger Woods.
He brought something to the sport that had never been
done before. Uh well, coach, congratulations to you. I know
(07:41):
that Tom Ball is proud of you. I think these
are fun things to talk about. It'll be fun to
watch these young men go on in life to success,
not just in baseball, but in life from what you've
taught him. Keep up the good work. We look forward
to seeing how y'all do next year.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, hey, I appreciate the interviews. Something.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
By the way, could you you weed it over over
on the side, right over there? Just hit that one
little spot right and get the monkey crash.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, I missed that spot. I'll go get it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Thank you, Thank you, Bud A million dollars. Can you
imagine that that's a hell of a bonus. And a
million dollars they probably buy a new truck. He didn't
seem excited. Cody offer at side. Cody doesn't all anything.
He doesn't pick up Michael Barry show.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It's worried.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Ladies, you're not gonna like what I have to say.
It's not directed that you don't take that as a
bad thing. This is locanvar and the ladies aren't allowed
to play. It's just the way it is. There are
certain times that guys want to hang out with just guys.
Doesn't mean we don't love you. It's a natural biological thing.
(08:54):
I still think it's odd that men go to showers.
But when my niece Bailey invited me to hersh hower
and I was told it was important that I be there,
I brought the corn dogs from the walmart there in
Bridge City. I'm supposed to be there, I'll be there.
But to me, that's a girl thing, and I am
a believer that there is something very healthy and natural
(09:19):
to guy only things in girl only things. When you
ask a man my age, tell me about your happiest memories,
they will start with what they think they're supposed to say,
and then, if they're honest, you little whiskey in them
a time about a time, man, you were happy in
(09:41):
a way that you haven't been happy. And what's going
on is their brain is unlocking a moment in the past,
and that moment is when they didn't worry about offending anybody.
They didn't worry about conformity, they didn't worry you see,
(10:01):
in a multi cultural society, in a corporate environment, in
an hr driven world, at a time when people are
highly sensitive, when everybody around you is in therapy, there
is no joy in Mudville nobody is happy, nobody even
(10:23):
people who otherwise would be. You ever watch a video
of James Tallerico the Seminarian, speaking at the Sacred Seminary
of Stuart Smally, You will see that it is basically
a therapy session of everything that might make someone feel
like a reject, degenerate, outcast, weirdo, oddball and normalizing it.
(10:49):
And it's all in that same Stuart Smally affirmation tone.
And you're thinking, and it's always a clip of it,
So I guess they could argue you took it out
of context unless that was a stand up routine and
that was a character he was doing. How in the
world did you end up there? You'll see these things
(11:10):
there he is with Alfred Newman. You'll come to the side.
The clip will go something like and so there is
nothing wrong with a man what wants to have his
willie cut off, because that is as natural as being
born without a willie. A hole as a hole, whether
(11:31):
it was plugged with a post oak digger or you
were born with it, both of those are natural. That woman,
as I use the term, because woman should not just
be someone with the uterus. That woman, in all her glory,
can have a period once a month, and that woman
(11:51):
can have a baby and cramps, and once a month
can be in a bad mood and can go shopping
all afternoon, and can meet her girlfriends for rose, and
can wear high heels and complain how her feet are
hurting and put too many pillows on the bed, because
that is a woman, and a woman is a woman.
(12:11):
And then the crowd yay, and somewhere in that crowd,
because it's kind of a self selection, right, who shows
up at that church. There's certain symbols out front to say,
freak show, festival, come on. And so if you don't
feel a part of anything else, you come to this
and you get there and they're like, it'd be the
(12:33):
equivalent of a fat people anonymous. You go waddling in
or you're on your scooter and they go, he' not
wrong being nine hundred pounds. You Ah, I've been seen,
I've been heard. Right, That's what this is about. That's
what this is about. So when you ask a man
to tell you about his happiest memories, there's a couple
(12:55):
of things that come up.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
For a guy.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
My age in a certain set of society, youth sports.
The longer they played, the more memories they have, but
youth sports will be something that they will talk about
of their childhood. Youth sports will be a big part
of that. For athletes who play through high school and beyond,
(13:22):
they will talk about their teammates and they will talk
about them in a way that will make their wives
jealous because there is such a deep connection. That's one.
Number two is the military, especially men who served, and
especially men who served in war, will tell you stories
(13:45):
of their boys. They build such a deep camaraderie it's required,
just as a baseball team is now to a lesser degree.
But on that same vein follow me here, same theme
is a fraternity And what really is a fraternity at
a big school like A and M or especially UT,
(14:06):
which was the first to kind of skew from the norm.
I think A and M's followed in close order. What
does a fraternity do? It makes a small town out
of the metropolis. It creates a sense of forced belonging.
It allows for a series of engagements, events, rituals that
(14:32):
build a bond that is a very deep bond. This
is what the Mason's was about. Need men need this
more than women, and we're biologically wired this way. By
the way, if you're butt hurting your woman, don't send
me an email. I've already heard it all. It doesn't
make it any less true. When you do that, you
(14:53):
might as well be James Tallerico telling me a grown
man can have a period. It's it's a biological fact.
Men need these sorts of things. This is why men
need a fishing trip with the guys, or a hunting
trip with the guys. Now, I am not condoning a
married man going out with his buddies to the strip
clubs with the corporate credit card and taking strippers to
(15:16):
a hotel and screw them. That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm not talking about those sorts of things that are
destructive to a home relationship and a nuclear family. I'm
talking about moments in a guy's life. Poker night. Guys
are wired to need that. Many women want to join,
(15:36):
and understandably because they look at the energy. They see
that energy and they say, and it's true, we don't
have anything like that as women. I want to come join, y'all.
This happens all the time. Men never want to join
women's stuff. I have a friend named Richard Minader, he
(15:57):
was the editorial page editor of the Wall Street Journal.
He wrote opinions all day. Still does I think he's
in Europe now, But he was in the first class
of the now co ed Vassar. So who's first class
of boys to go to an all girls school? And
he thought Rich Pickens right, because I'll be the only
(16:20):
dude as a bunch of women. And he has written extensively
about how everything Vassar had been was destroyed because he says,
my presence there meant they couldn't open up and trust
and women aren't even wired the same way as women
as men in that way. But baseball, sports, team sports,
what he's talking about right there, that is an important
(16:40):
part the development of a certain type of man. So
last weekend, I had never seen Casablanca all the way through.
And I have found that the best thing for me
to do to disengage from the news of the day
(17:02):
is to fire the synapses of my mind by good
classical literature, music, film, sports, And so I started looking
for movies that I had not seen. So I looked
(17:23):
back at the AFI top one hundred films. It was Casablanca,
and it's kind of one of those things that it's
sort of like a word you use but you couldn't
really define. Or when your kid comes home with math homework.
You're not quite old enough for this for moment, but
you will be very soon considering where they are, and
(17:44):
they'll come home and you know, dad, did you ever
do quadratic equations? And you go, yeah, well could you
help me with this? And you know, you know what
a trinomeal is? But damned if you can't remember right now.
(18:06):
You know there was a time you knew, but you
just can't remember right now. Who was Dan Pastorini's backup quarterback?
Well it uh uh, well, I yeah, you can't quite
just tip of your tongue. You just can't remember exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So I go.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I watch it, and a lot of a lot of
the old stuff you have to kind of put into put.
You know, the props are going to be poorly done.
The driving scenes are a little distracting because she's always
gonna be sitting next to him, and you know, there's
a screen behind you in the car isn't moving? Whoa boy,
We've come a long way. Hell, And they're having the conversation.
(18:53):
They're out, they're out on a drive and it's in
a convertible and that's when the conversation happens. And it's
just this kind of traditional set. It was the same
set on the same set, you know there in California.
But not only does the movie hold up, but it
is as good today. I don't know if it's as
(19:15):
good as good today as it was in it was
nineteen forty two. It's a long time ago, especially in film.
If you watch a lot of film, Uh, there's some
stuff in the forties that you watch today and it
is amazing, but there's a lot that is just sort
of the acting is from a different era. Shall we say, Oh, Rodrigo,
(19:36):
could you be by man? And she runs to him
and puts her head on her on his shoulder, and
he stands there and it's like, you know the snls
get on the on the Spanish soap opera. You know,
it's it's a little over the top, but that movie anyway,
So that song plays as a theme of this very moving,
(19:58):
meaningful moment. And I won't ruin it for you because
I know some of you have already, at my request,
gone back and watched Casablanca, and the review not one
person has said I don't know why you sent me that.
The people who've taken me up on seeing him said, wow,
thanks for recommending that. What's next? That was great and
a fair to remember. We'll get to that. So so
(20:18):
they have Dooley Wilson singing that song, just him on
the piano, and he does have a big band behind him.
But then it is what I think they call in
Broadway musicals a late motif, that music sets a theme
memory as in Cats does this, or they do it
in Phano of the opera. A late motif is when
(20:41):
music is a character enters a scene and that is
his theme music, that's his walk up song. Then any
time the characteristics of that character are invoked, bravery, sacrifice,
on or defiance, you'll get that in the background to
(21:02):
remind your brain, Oh, that's the theme we're setting here.
Pretty cool use of music, and it's you know, hundreds
of years old that they learned to do this. And
so there are moments where Dooley Wilson is not in
Rix's American Cabaret or whatever it is, playing on the
piano because he's the guy, he's the piano man. But
(21:25):
they will be in other places. Rix's apartment which is upstairs.
But in that music will play Rix Cabaret, no, not
Rix Cabaret, rix whatever it is, and that music will
play and it's just a symphony of it. And it
reminded me. Lyle Lovett played at Jones Hall on Friday night,
and so it was interesting because you've mostly heard Lyle
(21:49):
love it either stripped down in the you know, post
Anderson Fair days of just a guy and his guitar
and then you'd have you know, his arrangements were never
heavy on you know that they were. They were vocal forward,
kind of Americana style, not over the top. And then
if you've seen him do the big band show, it's
(22:12):
it's a different it's a different deal. But to have
the symphony behind him, it was it was sweeping. You
know that there were songs that you you know, that's right,
you're not from Texas, sounded very different with a symphony
behind it. Or you know, my pony on a on
a boat sounds very different. Uh, taking my pony out
(22:34):
on a boat sounds very different with a symphony behind it.
So anyway, after the show, he said, what'd you think?
I said, Uh, it's an interesting way to hear you
because it was different than the big band. I liked
it much better. But it was almost like the symphony
(22:55):
was an auto tune for you. And he kind of
pulled back like, well, that's kind of a slap in
the face. And I realized at that moment that I
guess that would be how that would proceed. But it
wasn't what I meant. What happened was in the back
of my mind. I had those scenes in Casablanca where
(23:17):
they would play the symphony very softly, setting that mood,
and it felt like it took his vocals and the
songs and it and it just added this this sort
of flow to it. It was like his songs went
from being a guy singing at you in a linear fashion,
(23:38):
face to face, directed at you rifle style, to this
river flowing past you.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Like sounder river, you don't like sounder river. Oh you
don't like my sound of the river. Oka, I do
it again. So it's this river flows, okay, riverfall, waterfall?
So this waterfall? Oh no, my sound effects are not good. Oh.
Given in Niagara Falls on the US side of the
(24:08):
Canadian side. I hate to sound prissy, but it's kind
of like when you tell somebody you just saw last
picture show and they go, book's better. I think, what
you're trying to tell me you read a book. So
so the true story is Niagara Falls is a lot
better from the Canadian side. Do you agree it's a
(24:31):
better view. I can't really explain why it's a better view,
but it's it's a better view. It's not how it's
supposed to be. But anyway, buddy of mine was texting
me last night. He sent me this, this video that
was very funny, and I asked him if he's in
Colorado because he's a ski instructor. But he's back in Alberta, Edmonton, Edmonton, Alberta,
(24:55):
and I said, oh. He said, come visit me. I said,
I can't come up. There's too many Canadians. He goes,
Alberta is the Texas of Canada. This is the Michael
Berry Show. So men need camaraderie, discipline, structure. I only
(25:16):
raise boys, so my comparison with girls is not as
solid as those of you who've raised a boy and
a girl. It goes without saying, but I will say it.
Boys and girls are biologically very different. Now there is
(25:37):
a continuum of boys and girls and how masculine or
traditionally feminine they are. I often told younger men that
I'm mentored find you a tomboy, because the more girly
(25:57):
the girl, the more daddies. Girls spoiled brad, high maintenance,
lots of medical treatments. You have to spoil me, You
have to do all these things. I don't do anything
for myself. You get about ten years old, and she
don't want to do anything for the kids because she
(26:18):
wants it all to be about herself. And I've seen
that that's not what you want. You marry a tomboy
who's on the more masculine end of that spectrum. A
girl that played softball and had I tell you what
you marry. You marry a girl that had about five
older brothers, because she's tough and she can hold her
(26:40):
own and she's not sensitive. Sensitive is a bad word
with girls. You get you one that's sensitive. She's crying
all the time, and that's one of those situations where
you don't know what you've done and she starts crying
and now you're being held emotionally hostage. A lot of
guys that get trapped into that. That's awful. That is awful.
(27:00):
That's the one that's unstable. You're on eggshells all the time.
You never know when something will be perceived the wrong way.
She's highly jealous because she liked the girl at the
pageant waiting to be picked, and she views you as
studying all the other girls. No matter what you're doing.
(27:22):
You're looking for a waitress. She thinks you're studying it.
You don't want that kind of girl. You want a
girl whose mother was who. You don't want the girl
that's talking to her mama five times a day. Seen
it happen too many times because you'll never actually bond
with her. She's not allowed to attach. As they say,
with an animal that you take in, you can't attach
because every single thing you do, she's running it past
(27:44):
mama as to should he do this? Should I make
him do this? Should I make him do this? Should
he do this? Should I hold out for this? Should
I do this? You don't want that. So the great
organizations have a narrow shared bond, a code, you know,
a Samurai code that they follow. When you look at
(28:06):
what that Tomball High School baseball team or Memorial High
School baseball team are. The great football teams, The Patriots.
Even the older they get, and the more money gets
involved and more ego gets involved, the harder. You look
at a Saban coached football team, you look at a
Daryl K. Royal coach football team, you're talking about a
(28:27):
lot of discipline. You look at the Junction Boys or
Paul Bear Bryant teams or Paterno teams, you are talking
about a great deal of shared suffering, shared values, and
a love, an absolute alrite love in the Greek sense
(28:50):
of a very fraternal love. And that's what the fraternity
was designed on the university campus to mimic. When you
take that away, you no longer have the bond, You're
no longer all rowing in the same direction. You lose
something that is hard to explain, and that is the
(29:13):
change in the corporate work environment of the last fifty years.
Because the Hillary Clintons came in as a wedge into
the old boy's network. Well it wasn't an old boys network,
it was just a network. It just so happened that
they were nobody's complaining that the NFL's all male. But
if a woman goes into the locker room, which they
(29:34):
insisted that they do for some reason, you had to
have the women's sports reports go in the locker room,
so now the men have to be clothed at all
the time, when they just really wanted to be relaxed.
It wasn't an exhibition, but no, no, we got to
get in here. Why oh no, he showed me his
And then you have all of the drama and all
of the sensitivity and everyone getting upset, and in that environment,
(29:56):
you ruin the esprit de corps. You ruin that special
bond that makes organizations work in war on a sporting field.
In a corporate sense, it doesn't matter you lose the
things that made it special. Our diversity is our strength.
(30:19):
I don't believe that's true. I believe it's a good concept.
I don't think that we shouldn't necessarily have diversity, or
how you go about preventing diversity, I think becomes a
question that you have to be careful some people when
they say that, But when you visit Japan and you
walk away from there and you say, wow, there are
(30:41):
some things I really like about this culture, or Singapore,
there's some things I really like about this culture. And
then you walk the streets of London today, which is
basically southeast Pakistan, and you realize, wow, diversity did not
make England better. It made it far worse, far less safe,
far less comfortable. The very thing people so desperately wanted
(31:03):
to come to England for is not there anymore. Because
those people coming to England for that couldn't help themselves
but drag with them the culture they were fleeing. And
the results are clear. Japan's gain has been the loss
to Paris, London, Berlin, Helsinki, not Helsinki, Stockholm, you know,
(31:28):
not Djibouti. Do you know where? Do you know where
people are going on vacation now? Which I never would
have seen in my life? Would it? Could not have
imagined Poland? Why because Poland said, no, we're not letting
the Middle East in. Poland said We're not going to
allow Middle Eastern quote unquote refugees migrants to invade our
(31:51):
country and change our culture. Is that awful? Is that horrible?
Not for the Polish people, the Middle Eastern countries would
not have a need to be invaded by white Europeans.
They would have wanted to hold fast to their own culture.
But isn't it interesting nobody in the Western world is
(32:12):
fleeing to the Arab world to live because it's wonderful
and great. You may go there at work. Dubai is nice.
I will agree with that. Okay, that's a unique situation.
But you look at the cities. If it was possible
to live in Tehran, it is possible to live in Beirut,
it is possible to live in Damascus. Nobody wants to
(32:33):
go there and live there. Why what's wrong? Nobody wants
to go to Islamabad? Why what's wrong? What's wrong with
those cultures that white Westerners don't want to go there?
And why is it that the people of those countries
so desperately want to come to the US and Paris
and London and Berlin and Stockholm and Coconat. Why is that?
(32:55):
What is it about that that migration is one directional?
Answer that question honestly without worrying who's going to be upset,
and you will have answered the question to everything that
is wrong with white liberalism, which is trying to say
that those coming here are somehow better than those who
have created the place they so desperately want to come to.
(33:18):
How about you just go live there and celebrate them
there
