Speaker 1 (00:00):
I will post to my Facebook page and we will
post to our blast. I don't know if I'll make
it by today on the blast, but by tomorrow beyond
the blast, early voting has begun for the November election,
which includes a number of things, including the propositions, and
(00:22):
I will have a voter guide for you. I just
need a little bit of time to finish that sometime today.
So keep an eye on our Facebook page and if
if you get our daily blast, you'll get it in
the form of the blast, and that'll be every day
up until election Day, and that'll probably be tomorrow because
I don't think I'm gonna have a chance to get it.
(00:44):
To get it done between eleven when we finish and
when it goes out. Quick call, and then I'm going
to need your assistance on something. Let's go to Eve.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead here, Eve,
that is something wrong, Eve. Let's see Eve. Are you there?
(01:10):
I think we've lost Eve. All right, well, then we
will move on unless Eve calls back. I got an
email during the break that got me thinking about something,
and it comes from our friend Chance McLean and he said,
you're talking about recruiting for no Kings. They don't just
(01:32):
recruit people to No Kings rallies at concerts. I think
you know, as I think you know. I've been a
fan of the band My Chemical Romance for twenty years.
I cannot explain my love of them. I certainly don't
agree with their messaging, but I really like their music,
all of it, even the screaming stuff. I just cannot
(01:54):
explain it. I've been to see them in concert many times,
most recently a couple of years ago. It was at
the Toyota Center, and they had people registering concert attendees
to vote all over the place, hundreds of them. The
type of people that will go to a My Chemical
Romance concert tend to vote one way. You can tell
what it would be. When they asked me if I
(02:16):
was registered, I let them know that yes I am.
And that's probably not in line for what you're hoping for.
But is our side doing that? Do we have hundreds
of people registering people to vote at Pat Green concerts?
Never mind his personal wonky politics? The people who go
to the concerts. Are we registering people to vote at
(02:36):
Monster Truck shows? And I got to thinking, you're right,
you know, twenty five years ago. When I first ran
for city council. One of the things I noticed was
how much better at the grassroots the Democrats were than
the Republicans. And that gap has widened, not narrowed. I
(03:03):
would be invited to speak at black churches and I
would do in a Sunday morning. I had the guy
who scheduled Chila Jackson Lee's church program. He was her
chief of staff. I hired him away first black vice
president of the state Democrat Party, Carl Davis, the best
in the business, and I hired him to work for me.
(03:26):
And let me tell you something, I never in twenty
five years, I've never seen a Republican as good at
what Karl does for Democrats as Karl is for Democrats.
And to this day it is still a scar on
his career that he worked with me and we were
(03:47):
so successful because he did and we were. He would
set me up to speak at a church that started
early whatever, that was seven point thirty, and have it
have a schedule on Sunday morning. But he picked me
up and nothing. I got in the car. He would
(04:07):
hand me a sheet and I would read through it.
This is whose church we're going to. Here's the pastor.
Here's the history of the church. This is a Kojik church,
or this is a Pentecostal church, or this is a
United Methodist church. Here's the pastor, here's his history. Here's
the first lady's name. Blah blah blah. This is how
(04:28):
long you're going to speak. This is where you and
he would have it arranged where when we pulled up
to be somebody out waiting, like we were some vip
I was a candidate running for city council. We'd pull
up to be somebody waiting with waiting to stand with
the car. They would escort us in. Pastor would interrupt
whatever he was doing, bring us up on stage. I
would say my piece. He would embrace me. That's important.
(04:50):
I would leave you hold one finger up like we're
number one, as you duck down, saying I'm sorry, but
we're leaving. I know, you know, don't want to be disrespectful,
Like if you're walking somebody's taking a photo and you're
already walking, you'll kind of duck down and give this
message like oh I didn't say do that, go out,
get in the car onto the next one. We'd hit
(05:10):
six churches a Sunday Sunday morning. Then we'd go get
You couldn't get as many in the evenings because it's
not as many people holding a church service and not
as long in the evening. Every single Sunday, we came
out of nobody in this town knew my name to
winning a citywide election, the first Republican to ever do
that in the city of Houston. And it was shoe leather, grassroots,
(05:36):
hard work, strategic because guess what, there are lots of
votes in the black churches, and the pastors will allow
you to get up and speak. It's incredible. I mean,
it's just it's amazing. You'd call the traditional big Republican
white churches, we can't have anybody speak here. Why not,
(06:03):
we'll lose our tax free status. You're going to lose
your tax free status when Democrats take over. But we'll
leave that for another day. But what I noticed in
those years of campaigning like that is that everywhere I went,
the Democrats were registering voters. Went to a game at TSU,
(06:26):
and by the way, if you don't get shot, because
there are lots of shootings at these schools, we don't
get shot. The halftime show at the TSU, the ocean
of soul is something to behold the whole New world
to me. But you would go to places like black churches,
you'd go to places like if there was a carnival,
(06:49):
if there was anything that had a likelihood that these
were Democrat voters. They were registering voters. And that takes effort.
It's a logistics effort. So my question to you is
where it. By the way, money has to be spent,
(07:10):
shoe leather has to be burned, people have to be deployed.
But if you were to say, what are some what
are some underground places that are Republican rich that we
should be registering voters that you go, that's you ought
to stand out front. Anybody wants to register a register
(07:33):
right there, because if you're showing up at a monster
truck show, I don't know that's where you would get voters.
Republican voters most likely to register seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand
(07:56):
You will sleep like a bit. Just saw a video
during the break that was Joe Biden during COVID where
he said, remember if you're fully vaccinated and up to
date on your boosters. You are allowed to celebrate the
fourth of July. If you're vaccinated. You can even have
(08:17):
a backyard barbecue, as long as the number of guests
is five or less. Those those were the rules that
King Biden had issued. But only if you were vaccinated
and up to date on your boosters, then you could
you could, you could celebrate the fourth of July. In fact,
he was even going to let you have a backyard barbecue,
(08:39):
but no more than five guests. That would be just
we've got rules here. He can have rules. King can
have rules. So my friend Chance mclan goes to a
my Chemical Romance concert. He admits that's kind of an
odd genre for him to like, but he likes it unapologetically.
And they're registering voters. Which musicians do this. They do
(09:00):
this a lot at concerts, which is where historically you
would get Democrat voters. And so the question was where
should Republicans do that. What are the target rich environments
where you get folks to register to vote that are
most likely to vote the way we want them to vote?
Mark Europe, sir.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hey, Michael Barrett's honor to speak with you, sir, Yes, Sir,
I would say the best place I can think of
would be any boat show. That's where you're going to
find the Republicans with a little sense about them.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What percentage of people going to the boat show would
you guess would vote Republicans?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh, one hundred percent. Republicans are the boat owners around here?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I wouldn't say one hundred percent because there's always that outlier,
weird duo that you wonder why he does what he does.
But I bet yeah, I didn't even think about that
boat show? Is do you go to the boat show?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I try to avoid it, you know, the candy, but
but I do join one or two here and there.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Do you own a boat?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I do?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you feel? Do you fear if you go to
the boat show that you'll up you'll upgrade your boat?
Is that the worry?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, it's very tempting.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's hard not to What kind of boat do you have.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A little fishing boat? A little bass boat?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay? And where do you fish Lake Conroe? And how
often would you guess you fish?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Not often as I'd like, but you know, at least
get out once a month or so.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Do you do you have a son, a friend, a wife?
Is there somebody you take out with you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I've got a little boy. He's not quite ready to fish,
he's only two, but I'm, you know, trying to get practiced.
So when he's ready, you know, daddy's got got the knowledge.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, it's it's the guy who fishes alone. That's the
real hardcore fisherman. I went to school with a guy
named Craig Quarter. He was a year ahead of me,
and Craig's dad was probably one of the reasons I
went into radio without realizing. His dad was known as BBRC,
which stood for Big Boy Richard Carter, and he was
on KOGT, which a guy I also went to school with.
(11:16):
He was a little older than me named Gary Stelly
ended up buying and KOGT was the voice of Orange
and it was a very Orange centric station, and we
loved this station. And BBRC was the morning personality and
he would play songs and talk in between, and he
talk about his kids. And Craig was an All State
offensive lineman well as was his older brother Bart, year
(11:39):
or two ahead of him. And Craig will sometimes post
to Facebook a picture of himself. I don't know if
it's Dan b to let him be in where exactly
he is that he's fishing. It says it on there,
but he has like a time lapse photography camera that
he sets out and it's just him out there fishing,
and he'll be out there when he went to clear
(12:00):
his head. He'll be out there for a week by himself,
fishing all day long. That is a real fisherman.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I think some guys fish to get away from their wife,
or they fish to get away from their job, or
they fish to go hang out with their buddies or
you know, no, not Broke Back Mountain, Jim c. Now
you're acting like Ramon. No, that's not why they fish.
But some guys fish and the fishing is ancillary to
the experience, right, getting away from everyone having some beers
(12:30):
being on the water. But then you get those guys
that fish by themselves. That is the hardcore fisherman right there.
Let's go to Derek. You're on to Michael Berry Show.
What say you show, sir? Where should the Republicans be
mining for registrations.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
At the gun shows?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The gun show? You gotta think that's that's asgh that's
as close to one hundred percent Replican turn out as
you're going to.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Get probably a little bit more in the boat show.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, I would assume so, because because anybody at
the gun show that's a Democrat run because that's probably
a transgender school shooter right there. But gun owners are
by nature independent, self reliant Second Amendment. I mean the
Republican Party has cornered that market. If you ever hear
(13:21):
somebody say they care about that and they vote Democrat,
they don't care much about it. They've put something else
above it. You go to the gun shows, do you.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I just knew that would be a good place to
go get votes.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah. I've been to a number of gun shows, and
I would say that's one hundred percent. I mean you
get some you get some really really right wingers there,
that would be for sure. Heather, you're up, what say
you dear?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
At anybody's place of employment, people go to work. I'm
generally Republicans.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I think they're more likely to be Republican. But
if you have scars resources, I get your point. I
think if somebody said, for that, let's say oil and
gas company, maybe sure. But I think if you go
to a technology company or probably some of the BioMed companies.
You'd be surprised how many Democrats you find in there. Interesting.
(14:20):
Uh oh, we got Eve back. Tell Evil'll get to
her in just a moment. Tom, You're on the Michael
Berry Show, Go Ahead sporting events? Which one would you
ranking events? Which one would you rank most likely to
be Republicans? Because you don't want to register democrats? UFC,
uf Yeah, good call. I was thinking football, but you're right.
(14:43):
UFC would be your highest likelihood. Good call?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
College football?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
UFC college football. Yeah, you're not going to get as
high a likelihood as a gun show, but it would
be worth your time, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But I would say any baseball, basketball, football, also professionally,
but it would be more like about a sixty forty split.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, you know, you got limited resources, so you want
to make sure that you're you know, you're fishing in
the in the in the deep end. But I think
UFC would be your likelihood of getting the highest percentage
that is that. Yes, I will agree with that for sure. Eve.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yes, I'm Michael Hi.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yes? Can you hold with me till the next segment?
I want to get to your point, but I want
to get these last two on this subject because I
wanted to say something in response to what you had
to say. So just hang with me, Brett, you're up
what you got?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, Hey, Michael, good morning.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I would say the RV park a lot of US
weekend warriors that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, these RV park, Yes, I agree with that. I agree, Seth.
What about you historical reenactment? Oh man, Yes, that's one
hundred percent right there, God bless them. Yes, writing that down.
I got maybe a little carried away there laugh doing
(16:04):
it big on the Michael Berry Show. They sound a
little like Eddie money there right there. Asia they had
some good stuff. Who ever thinks of Asia? I mean
not the band. So the question is where should Republicans
(16:25):
be registering voters? Because Democrats do a much better job
of that. Democrats do a better job of digital Democrats
do a much better job of registration. Democrats do a
much better job of getting their voters. Most Americans don't
want Democrat policies. But the Republican Party and the Democrat
(16:47):
Party are made up of different types of people, and
that is the reason for it. Our people tend to
go to work, raise their families. The Democrats have people
that will spend twenty four to seven on this stuff.
The Democrat Party is much more action oriented, has been
for a very long time, and that's how they swoop
in and win elections. They did that in two thousand
(17:09):
and eight. The best get out the vote effort I've
ever witnessed in my lifetime was in two thousand and
eight and the Obama campaign. It was amazing, It was incredible,
and they built upon that and it lasted all the
way up in the state of Texas when they did
away with straight party voting through twenty eighteen when they
(17:34):
elected Dora the Explorer county judge. All right, so where
should Republicans be target rich environments? Oh? Eve, hold on, Eve,
We're going to get these, the rest of these, and
then we'll go to you. Nick, you're up. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
You go to the oil rig man camps.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You're dealing with hundreds of people that when they're not working,
they don't have anything to do.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
They're not going to rush.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I ain't got time wide.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Open a great idea. I don't know who would you
know if you had somebody whose job it was to
do that, then you find areas like this, right, Jen,
what say you?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I would say number one NASCAR and number two The rodeo.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
NASCAR is great. Do you mean the Houston livestock showing rodeo?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Oh, I'm in San Antonio. I would say Houston might
have a different demographic than San Antonio does.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Depends on the nine.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah. And I went last year and it was I
saw Brooks and Dunn and it was great. But I'll
never go again.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Why is that?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Oh, taking an hour and a half in an uber home,
you know, all the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, you know, it's it's a that space is not
I don't know, don't I don't really know the answer
to the logistical solution, but I do know that there's
something wrong when you're loading and unloading out of that space.
(19:01):
There is something wrong about the choke points that have
not changed since that stadium was built sixty years ago,
since that space was built out originally as the Astrodom
sixty years ago. And I think it's a real, real problem,
not the least of which the side roads. You know,
(19:26):
when you're coming in on what is it McKee McCree,
when you're coming in on that perpendicular street and you're
stopped in the traffic and you can't move and you
look over and you go, oh, oh, it's a gang
banger initiation night. I just wanted to see the game. Yeah,
that's a weird deal. So instead you have to come
up and down Kirby where at least there are some
(19:48):
cops along the way there that whole deal. And then
if you head let's see, if you head north out
of the stadium, you go over to that parking lot
of that retail center over there, and that thing gets
jammed up. It is not an ideal layout, and no
one has ever arranged the situation such that it flows better.
(20:11):
It's almost as if no one has cared. The Rodeo
itself tends to stay out of politics for fear that
Rodney Ellis and Lena Hidalgo will will shut them down,
as I will remind you they did a few years ago.
They shut the Rodeo down and should not have, but
they did. In any case, Yeah, I think most nights
(20:33):
at the Rodeo it's pretty target rich environment. Kevin, you're
on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I would say, you know, standing in line waiting to
get into a concert, especially like a metal concert, it's
not a bad idea. I mean, I went to see
mud Vane last Monday night at the Bayu Center music venue,
which every single business in that entire center is completely
closed and out of there's nothing alive in that center
(21:02):
where because the rents by you centered downtown off of
Bagbee in Texas, you know Texas Avenue. Oh yeah, I
mean it used to have a hard rock cafe and
all the other nonsense. But when you're paying you know,
forty thousand dollars a month, I mean you got to
sell a hell of a lot of Hamburgers.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Okay, remind me of what. So, there used to be
a movie theater in there. Is that still there?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
The signs there, but I don't think it was still open.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
There was to be a real like a sun Dance
movie theater. They used to play pretty cool independent films there.
But every time I went, my wife and I used
to go all the time, and it was there was
never anybody there. And then there was always a sushi restaurant.
It cycled through about three or four times. I don't
know if that's still there, closed, closed. There was the
Willies what's that? Yeah, it was a slip yup lick
(21:50):
Willies closed, and then there was h There was always
a restaurant, like when you were coming in off of
Memorial Parkway to the right. Uh, you know that there
was the the hard rock cafe kind of in the vortex,
and then the next one there was. There was always
some new kind of fickle five hundred, you know, bar restaurant,
(22:13):
a kind of place that would be hot for a
minute and then they were they were out of business,
and it would just keep cycling through. So you're saying,
the only thing left is the is the venue itself?
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, by you centers, the only the only thing opened
in that entire center.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What did you allow see that?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Mud Vein and Static X And.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I've been to a concert in that space in fifteen
years maybe, Well it was all.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Forty forty five to fifty year old white dudes. I mean,
that's that's what. The whole concert was a mud Vein,
Static X, and then a band called Vended. It was good,
it was a great show.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't even know who mud Vein is.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Chad Gray he was in a band called Hell yeah
as well Maze Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, oh oh yeah, he was in that band Ted Gray.
That's just outside my genre.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm not a big I'm not a big heavy metal fan,
interesting forty five to fifty year olds. So what is
this is? This was this a late eighties, early nineties band.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Early two thousands. It was the twenty fifth anniversary of
that album that came out in two thousand and so
at that time we were, you know, all twenty one,
twenty two, twenty three years old. And so you fast
forward to last week and it's it's literally just a
bunch of middle aged white guys and their wives, their girlfriends.
(23:42):
And I mean one of the things that was really
really impressed, impressed, I was impressed with was the bars
that they had set up had all high end tequila
and spirit. Yeah, so like Don Julio nineteen forty two,
and they they took out all the seats and made
them boots that you can pay extra for.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
So they knew their audience. You know, twenty five years ago,
y'all couldn't have bought the high end tequila. But times
have changed. He's well done. So this is the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
A friend of mine sent me a picture of Chad
Gray of mud Vein on stage, as if that was
gonna refresh my memory.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And he's wearing overalls with no shirt underneath, and he
has his face painted white, and he's got a bunch
of wrist bracelets on like Rico, and then he's got
a mohawk and his face is painted like an evil clown.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Oh that Chad Gray. Okay, I said, Chad Gray. That
Chad Gray.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Old, that's one. Okay. Now, now there's got to be
something odd and ironic if people can appreciate it to
showing up to see the twenty fifth anniversary of a
band that you loved when you were twenty and now
(25:22):
you're sitting in boots sipping expensive tequila with your wife,
like times have changed? And are we here to watch
that guy sing? Although you know I say that, would
I go see Kiss today? Absolutely? Wait, you're fifty four
years old and you're going into a concert hall to
(25:45):
watch guys in platform boots dressed up like that with
makeup singing songs from seventy eighth. Yeah. Yeah, As a
matter of fact, I wouldn't now because I'm I'm I'm
trying to avoid tonights and my head rings all the
(26:05):
time from from sounds. But would I intellectually would I
go to a Kiss concert? In a second? So I
guess it's no different than that, right, Yeah, seems reasonable.
Where should Republicans be registering voters? Bill, you're up, go ahead.
Midget wrestling, Oh, midget wrestling? Is it? There ain't a
(26:29):
you know, there ain't a Democrat in that group. That's it.
We did midget wrestling at the RCC. It was one
of our best events ever. Al, you're up.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yes, thee Marie Miller Military Cady homecoming in Hallingen, Texas
and New Mexico Military Academy homecoming.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's a good call. You know, Sergio are the head
of our station in McAllen is also the head of
the Republican Party in and the success they have had.
He's always updating me on you know, flipping those South
Texas counties Republican. The Bushes couldn't do it. McCain couldn't
(27:11):
do it, Romney couldn't do it. Abbott couldn't do it.
It was Trump. Those people didn't want pandering. They didn't
want some guy that nobody liked who happened to be
Hispanic appointing to a position. That wasn't how you were
ever going to win Republican races in that you know,
you know, the Republican Party has a nasty little tendency
(27:31):
to think that you go find somebody who is black,
or you go find somebody who is Hispanic, and you
give them an appointment, and there's somebody that nobody of
that skin color cares for anyway, and you put them
in a position there's resentment toward that person. Nobody thinks, oh,
I'm going to be a Republican now because the most
hated person that I know that has my same last
(27:52):
name got appointed to a position that doesn't actually work.
In fact, that's bad Democrat politics. Instead, you find really
good people with good resumes, whose heads are on straight,
and you support them, some of whom happen to be minorities,
and that's how you'll get minority voters. That's the only
(28:14):
way you do it. You don't, you don't do it
through the pandering thing. It's just stupid. Mike, what's your
idea for whether Republicans should be registering voters?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, earlier, you know they took my answer with which
it was Nascar. I mean, I think any of the
motorsports events you know throughout Texas, Texas more speed weapon
for worth as well as code over there in Austin
will be fantastic, including Indy cars, but well recently even
with the wings over Uston air show. I mean you
think about the two hundred thousand plus right there.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yep, that's a good call. That's a good call. Zach says.
Any bar and grill a popular in a town with
a population less than one thousand, this is a good
one here. Doug Rojas says, county fairs all day long,
and that's true. You got to get out into the
end of the counties. You just got to get a
higher percentage of rural voters. Frand Rights, fran Jolly Rights.
(29:05):
When I attended the Charlie Kirk Memorial, on every seat
was a voter registration. In addition, there were people outside
registering voters who were waiting in line to enter the stadium.
Terrell Rights, cattle sale one hundred percent Republicans. Bobosh writes,
here's a list where you should be oil and gas
conventions and trade shows, hunting shows, fishing tournaments, gun ranges,
(29:28):
any military branch, boot camp graduations. Kyle Mott writes, from
my experience, most of them oil filled man camps are
filled with illegals. Maybe send ice instead of voter registration
Michael Wrights, if we want to compete with the demon rats,
we should recruit at the cemetery Steve Wrights ZAR. Last year,
(29:50):
my wife when I traveled to Octoberfest in Fredericksberg. According
to their organizers, they expect roughly forty thousand attendees each year.
While we were there, we watched a fortyish year old
lady walk up and down the rows of tables while
decked out in Trump gear. She was engaging patrons and
normally it appeared she was met with thumbs up or toasts,
but from time to time she would stop and have
an extended conversation. Her efforts were selfless and completely about
(30:13):
her mission get Trump elected. We stopped and spoke with her,
and she was a local lady with a passion. No selfies,
no look at me posts, no groups of others with her,
just putting in the work. And with that, Eve, your
patience has been rewarded. Thank you, What say you, dere?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Thank you? Michael. So, I've spent a couple of hours
looking over the propositions and then I got in the
mail the Texas Conservative Review, and it's several pages long,
and I'm looking through it. I'm like, great, this is
going to help me. And then I get to the
lost page and it is a photoshopped picture of John
Cornyan standing next to Donald Trump saying that he does
(30:54):
ninety nine percent of the time. And I literally got
up and threw it away. Texas Conservative Review.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Well, I'm very familiar with it, Eve, I'm very familiar
with it. It is Gary Polland, who used to be
the party chairman, who was run out of office, who
ran for office and lost, who took court. He's a
criminal defense attorney who took court appointments from the very
judges that he would get elected. Gary Polland was the
Harris County party chairman so that he could get judges
(31:26):
elected and then they would turn around and give him
the court appointments, which is how he made his money.
And he made a lot of money under those Republican judges.
Gary Polland is the kind of Republican who destroys the party.
I don't know that he got paid by the corn
In campaign to put that out officially. I don't know that.
(31:49):
If you were to ask me, do I think he did, Yeah,
I do. I don't think Gary Polland is a conservative,
and no he's not. He's a deal cutter. Holland got
into politics as an industry to get paid everything Gary
Polland touches is corrupt. Gary Polland should just be a
Democrat because he acts like a Democrat. Gary Polland has
(32:11):
made a living in Republican politics through the political process
for years and years and years. He's a squirrel. He's
an absolute squirrel. I think he's a bad person. I
think he's a corrupt person. I think he's a bad person.
I think everything around him is evil. I think he's horrible.
He cost us elections. He damn near destroyed the party.
So no, I wouldn't read anything The Texas Conservator of
(32:33):
View gets paid to print
I will post to my Facebook page and we will
post to our blast. I don't know if I'll make
it by today on the blast, but by tomorrow beyond
the blast, early voting has begun for the November election,
which includes a number of things, including the propositions, and
(00:22):
I will have a voter guide for you. I just
need a little bit of time to finish that sometime today.
So keep an eye on our Facebook page and if
if you get our daily blast, you'll get it in
the form of the blast, and that'll be every day
up until election Day, and that'll probably be tomorrow because
I don't think I'm gonna have a chance to get it.
(00:44):
To get it done between eleven when we finish and
when it goes out. Quick call, and then I'm going
to need your assistance on something. Let's go to Eve.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead here, Eve,
that is something wrong, Eve. Let's see Eve. Are you there?
(01:10):
I think we've lost Eve. All right, well, then we
will move on unless Eve calls back. I got an
email during the break that got me thinking about something,
and it comes from our friend Chance McLean and he said,
you're talking about recruiting for no Kings. They don't just
(01:32):
recruit people to No Kings rallies at concerts. I think
you know, as I think you know. I've been a
fan of the band My Chemical Romance for twenty years.
I cannot explain my love of them. I certainly don't
agree with their messaging, but I really like their music,
all of it, even the screaming stuff. I just cannot
(01:54):
explain it. I've been to see them in concert many times,
most recently a couple of years ago. It was at
the Toyota Center, and they had people registering concert attendees
to vote all over the place, hundreds of them. The
type of people that will go to a My Chemical
Romance concert tend to vote one way. You can tell
what it would be. When they asked me if I
(02:16):
was registered, I let them know that yes I am.
And that's probably not in line for what you're hoping for.
But is our side doing that? Do we have hundreds
of people registering people to vote at Pat Green concerts?
Never mind his personal wonky politics? The people who go
to the concerts. Are we registering people to vote at
(02:36):
Monster Truck shows? And I got to thinking, you're right,
you know, twenty five years ago. When I first ran
for city council. One of the things I noticed was
how much better at the grassroots the Democrats were than
the Republicans. And that gap has widened, not narrowed. I
(03:03):
would be invited to speak at black churches and I
would do in a Sunday morning. I had the guy
who scheduled Chila Jackson Lee's church program. He was her
chief of staff. I hired him away first black vice
president of the state Democrat Party, Carl Davis, the best
in the business, and I hired him to work for me.
(03:26):
And let me tell you something, I never in twenty
five years, I've never seen a Republican as good at
what Karl does for Democrats as Karl is for Democrats.
And to this day it is still a scar on
his career that he worked with me and we were
(03:47):
so successful because he did and we were. He would
set me up to speak at a church that started
early whatever, that was seven point thirty, and have it
have a schedule on Sunday morning. But he picked me
up and nothing. I got in the car. He would
(04:07):
hand me a sheet and I would read through it.
This is whose church we're going to. Here's the pastor.
Here's the history of the church. This is a Kojik church,
or this is a Pentecostal church, or this is a
United Methodist church. Here's the pastor, here's his history. Here's
the first lady's name. Blah blah blah. This is how
(04:28):
long you're going to speak. This is where you and
he would have it arranged where when we pulled up
to be somebody out waiting, like we were some vip
I was a candidate running for city council. We'd pull
up to be somebody waiting with waiting to stand with
the car. They would escort us in. Pastor would interrupt
whatever he was doing, bring us up on stage. I
would say my piece. He would embrace me. That's important.
(04:50):
I would leave you hold one finger up like we're
number one, as you duck down, saying I'm sorry, but
we're leaving. I know, you know, don't want to be disrespectful,
Like if you're walking somebody's taking a photo and you're
already walking, you'll kind of duck down and give this
message like oh I didn't say do that, go out,
get in the car onto the next one. We'd hit
(05:10):
six churches a Sunday Sunday morning. Then we'd go get
You couldn't get as many in the evenings because it's
not as many people holding a church service and not
as long in the evening. Every single Sunday, we came
out of nobody in this town knew my name to
winning a citywide election, the first Republican to ever do
that in the city of Houston. And it was shoe leather, grassroots,
(05:36):
hard work, strategic because guess what, there are lots of
votes in the black churches, and the pastors will allow
you to get up and speak. It's incredible. I mean,
it's just it's amazing. You'd call the traditional big Republican
white churches, we can't have anybody speak here. Why not,
(06:03):
we'll lose our tax free status. You're going to lose
your tax free status when Democrats take over. But we'll
leave that for another day. But what I noticed in
those years of campaigning like that is that everywhere I went,
the Democrats were registering voters. Went to a game at TSU,
(06:26):
and by the way, if you don't get shot, because
there are lots of shootings at these schools, we don't
get shot. The halftime show at the TSU, the ocean
of soul is something to behold the whole New world
to me. But you would go to places like black churches,
you'd go to places like if there was a carnival,
(06:49):
if there was anything that had a likelihood that these
were Democrat voters. They were registering voters. And that takes effort.
It's a logistics effort. So my question to you is
where it. By the way, money has to be spent,
(07:10):
shoe leather has to be burned, people have to be deployed.
But if you were to say, what are some what
are some underground places that are Republican rich that we
should be registering voters that you go, that's you ought
to stand out front. Anybody wants to register a register
(07:33):
right there, because if you're showing up at a monster
truck show, I don't know that's where you would get voters.
Republican voters most likely to register seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand
(07:56):
You will sleep like a bit. Just saw a video
during the break that was Joe Biden during COVID where
he said, remember if you're fully vaccinated and up to
date on your boosters. You are allowed to celebrate the
fourth of July. If you're vaccinated. You can even have
(08:17):
a backyard barbecue, as long as the number of guests
is five or less. Those those were the rules that
King Biden had issued. But only if you were vaccinated
and up to date on your boosters, then you could
you could, you could celebrate the fourth of July. In fact,
he was even going to let you have a backyard barbecue,
(08:39):
but no more than five guests. That would be just
we've got rules here. He can have rules. King can
have rules. So my friend Chance mclan goes to a
my Chemical Romance concert. He admits that's kind of an
odd genre for him to like, but he likes it unapologetically.
And they're registering voters. Which musicians do this. They do
(09:00):
this a lot at concerts, which is where historically you
would get Democrat voters. And so the question was where
should Republicans do that. What are the target rich environments
where you get folks to register to vote that are
most likely to vote the way we want them to vote?
Mark Europe, sir.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Hey, Michael Barrett's honor to speak with you, sir, Yes, Sir,
I would say the best place I can think of
would be any boat show. That's where you're going to
find the Republicans with a little sense about them.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What percentage of people going to the boat show would
you guess would vote Republicans?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh, one hundred percent. Republicans are the boat owners around here?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I wouldn't say one hundred percent because there's always that outlier,
weird duo that you wonder why he does what he does.
But I bet yeah, I didn't even think about that
boat show? Is do you go to the boat show?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I try to avoid it, you know, the candy, but
but I do join one or two here and there.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Do you own a boat?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I do?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you feel? Do you fear if you go to
the boat show that you'll up you'll upgrade your boat?
Is that the worry?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, it's very tempting.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's hard not to What kind of boat do you have.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A little fishing boat? A little bass boat?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay? And where do you fish Lake Conroe? And how
often would you guess you fish?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Not often as I'd like, but you know, at least
get out once a month or so.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Do you do you have a son, a friend, a wife?
Is there somebody you take out with you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I've got a little boy. He's not quite ready to fish,
he's only two, but I'm, you know, trying to get practiced.
So when he's ready, you know, daddy's got got the knowledge.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, it's it's the guy who fishes alone. That's the
real hardcore fisherman. I went to school with a guy
named Craig Quarter. He was a year ahead of me,
and Craig's dad was probably one of the reasons I
went into radio without realizing. His dad was known as BBRC,
which stood for Big Boy Richard Carter, and he was
on KOGT, which a guy I also went to school with.
(11:16):
He was a little older than me named Gary Stelly
ended up buying and KOGT was the voice of Orange
and it was a very Orange centric station, and we
loved this station. And BBRC was the morning personality and
he would play songs and talk in between, and he
talk about his kids. And Craig was an All State
offensive lineman well as was his older brother Bart, year
(11:39):
or two ahead of him. And Craig will sometimes post
to Facebook a picture of himself. I don't know if
it's Dan b to let him be in where exactly
he is that he's fishing. It says it on there,
but he has like a time lapse photography camera that
he sets out and it's just him out there fishing,
and he'll be out there when he went to clear
(12:00):
his head. He'll be out there for a week by himself,
fishing all day long. That is a real fisherman.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I think some guys fish to get away from their wife,
or they fish to get away from their job, or
they fish to go hang out with their buddies or
you know, no, not Broke Back Mountain, Jim c. Now
you're acting like Ramon. No, that's not why they fish.
But some guys fish and the fishing is ancillary to
the experience, right, getting away from everyone having some beers
(12:30):
being on the water. But then you get those guys
that fish by themselves. That is the hardcore fisherman right there.
Let's go to Derek. You're on to Michael Berry Show.
What say you show, sir? Where should the Republicans be
mining for registrations.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
At the gun shows?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The gun show? You gotta think that's that's asgh that's
as close to one hundred percent Replican turn out as
you're going to.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Get probably a little bit more in the boat show.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, I would assume so, because because anybody at
the gun show that's a Democrat run because that's probably
a transgender school shooter right there. But gun owners are
by nature independent, self reliant Second Amendment. I mean the
Republican Party has cornered that market. If you ever hear
(13:21):
somebody say they care about that and they vote Democrat,
they don't care much about it. They've put something else
above it. You go to the gun shows, do you.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I just knew that would be a good place to
go get votes.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah. I've been to a number of gun shows, and
I would say that's one hundred percent. I mean you
get some you get some really really right wingers there,
that would be for sure. Heather, you're up, what say
you dear?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
At anybody's place of employment, people go to work. I'm
generally Republicans.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I think they're more likely to be Republican. But
if you have scars resources, I get your point. I
think if somebody said, for that, let's say oil and
gas company, maybe sure. But I think if you go
to a technology company or probably some of the BioMed companies.
You'd be surprised how many Democrats you find in there. Interesting.
(14:20):
Uh oh, we got Eve back. Tell Evil'll get to
her in just a moment. Tom, You're on the Michael
Berry Show, Go Ahead sporting events? Which one would you
ranking events? Which one would you rank most likely to
be Republicans? Because you don't want to register democrats? UFC,
uf Yeah, good call. I was thinking football, but you're right.
(14:43):
UFC would be your highest likelihood. Good call?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
College football?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
UFC college football. Yeah, you're not going to get as
high a likelihood as a gun show, but it would
be worth your time, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But I would say any baseball, basketball, football, also professionally,
but it would be more like about a sixty forty split.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, you know, you got limited resources, so you want
to make sure that you're you know, you're fishing in
the in the in the deep end. But I think
UFC would be your likelihood of getting the highest percentage
that is that. Yes, I will agree with that for sure. Eve.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yes, I'm Michael Hi.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yes? Can you hold with me till the next segment?
I want to get to your point, but I want
to get these last two on this subject because I
wanted to say something in response to what you had
to say. So just hang with me, Brett, you're up
what you got?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, Hey, Michael, good morning.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I would say the RV park a lot of US
weekend warriors that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, these RV park, Yes, I agree with that. I agree, Seth.
What about you historical reenactment? Oh man, Yes, that's one
hundred percent right there, God bless them. Yes, writing that down.
I got maybe a little carried away there laugh doing
(16:04):
it big on the Michael Berry Show. They sound a
little like Eddie money there right there. Asia they had
some good stuff. Who ever thinks of Asia? I mean
not the band. So the question is where should Republicans
(16:25):
be registering voters? Because Democrats do a much better job
of that. Democrats do a better job of digital Democrats
do a much better job of registration. Democrats do a
much better job of getting their voters. Most Americans don't
want Democrat policies. But the Republican Party and the Democrat
(16:47):
Party are made up of different types of people, and
that is the reason for it. Our people tend to
go to work, raise their families. The Democrats have people
that will spend twenty four to seven on this stuff.
The Democrat Party is much more action oriented, has been
for a very long time, and that's how they swoop
in and win elections. They did that in two thousand
(17:09):
and eight. The best get out the vote effort I've
ever witnessed in my lifetime was in two thousand and
eight and the Obama campaign. It was amazing, It was incredible,
and they built upon that and it lasted all the
way up in the state of Texas when they did
away with straight party voting through twenty eighteen when they
(17:34):
elected Dora the Explorer county judge. All right, so where
should Republicans be target rich environments? Oh? Eve, hold on, Eve,
We're going to get these, the rest of these, and
then we'll go to you. Nick, you're up. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
You go to the oil rig man camps.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
You're dealing with hundreds of people that when they're not working,
they don't have anything to do.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
They're not going to rush.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I ain't got time wide.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Open a great idea. I don't know who would you
know if you had somebody whose job it was to
do that, then you find areas like this, right, Jen,
what say you?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I would say number one NASCAR and number two The rodeo.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
NASCAR is great. Do you mean the Houston livestock showing rodeo?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Oh, I'm in San Antonio. I would say Houston might
have a different demographic than San Antonio does.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Depends on the nine.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah. And I went last year and it was I
saw Brooks and Dunn and it was great. But I'll
never go again.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Why is that?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Oh, taking an hour and a half in an uber home,
you know, all the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, you know, it's it's a that space is not
I don't know, don't I don't really know the answer
to the logistical solution, but I do know that there's
something wrong when you're loading and unloading out of that space.
(19:01):
There is something wrong about the choke points that have
not changed since that stadium was built sixty years ago,
since that space was built out originally as the Astrodom
sixty years ago. And I think it's a real, real problem,
not the least of which the side roads. You know,
(19:26):
when you're coming in on what is it McKee McCree,
when you're coming in on that perpendicular street and you're
stopped in the traffic and you can't move and you
look over and you go, oh, oh, it's a gang
banger initiation night. I just wanted to see the game. Yeah,
that's a weird deal. So instead you have to come
up and down Kirby where at least there are some
(19:48):
cops along the way there that whole deal. And then
if you head let's see, if you head north out
of the stadium, you go over to that parking lot
of that retail center over there, and that thing gets
jammed up. It is not an ideal layout, and no
one has ever arranged the situation such that it flows better.
(20:11):
It's almost as if no one has cared. The Rodeo
itself tends to stay out of politics for fear that
Rodney Ellis and Lena Hidalgo will will shut them down,
as I will remind you they did a few years ago.
They shut the Rodeo down and should not have, but
they did. In any case, Yeah, I think most nights
(20:33):
at the Rodeo it's pretty target rich environment. Kevin, you're
on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I would say, you know, standing in line waiting to
get into a concert, especially like a metal concert, it's
not a bad idea. I mean, I went to see
mud Vane last Monday night at the Bayu Center music venue,
which every single business in that entire center is completely
closed and out of there's nothing alive in that center
(21:02):
where because the rents by you centered downtown off of
Bagbee in Texas, you know Texas Avenue. Oh yeah, I
mean it used to have a hard rock cafe and
all the other nonsense. But when you're paying you know,
forty thousand dollars a month, I mean you got to
sell a hell of a lot of Hamburgers.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Okay, remind me of what. So, there used to be
a movie theater in there. Is that still there?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
The signs there, but I don't think it was still open.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
There was to be a real like a sun Dance
movie theater. They used to play pretty cool independent films there.
But every time I went, my wife and I used
to go all the time, and it was there was
never anybody there. And then there was always a sushi restaurant.
It cycled through about three or four times. I don't
know if that's still there, closed, closed. There was the
Willies what's that? Yeah, it was a slip yup lick
(21:50):
Willies closed, and then there was h There was always
a restaurant, like when you were coming in off of
Memorial Parkway to the right. Uh, you know that there
was the the hard rock cafe kind of in the vortex,
and then the next one there was. There was always
some new kind of fickle five hundred, you know, bar restaurant,
(22:13):
a kind of place that would be hot for a
minute and then they were they were out of business,
and it would just keep cycling through. So you're saying,
the only thing left is the is the venue itself?
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, by you centers, the only the only thing opened
in that entire center.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What did you allow see that?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Mud Vein and Static X And.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I've been to a concert in that space in fifteen
years maybe, Well it was all.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Forty forty five to fifty year old white dudes. I mean,
that's that's what. The whole concert was a mud Vein,
Static X, and then a band called Vended. It was good,
it was a great show.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't even know who mud Vein is.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Chad Gray he was in a band called Hell yeah
as well Maze Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, oh oh yeah, he was in that band Ted Gray.
That's just outside my genre.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm not a big I'm not a big heavy metal fan,
interesting forty five to fifty year olds. So what is
this is? This was this a late eighties, early nineties band.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Early two thousands. It was the twenty fifth anniversary of
that album that came out in two thousand and so
at that time we were, you know, all twenty one,
twenty two, twenty three years old. And so you fast
forward to last week and it's it's literally just a
bunch of middle aged white guys and their wives, their girlfriends.
(23:42):
And I mean one of the things that was really
really impressed, impressed, I was impressed with was the bars
that they had set up had all high end tequila
and spirit. Yeah, so like Don Julio nineteen forty two,
and they they took out all the seats and made
them boots that you can pay extra for.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
So they knew their audience. You know, twenty five years ago,
y'all couldn't have bought the high end tequila. But times
have changed. He's well done. So this is the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
A friend of mine sent me a picture of Chad
Gray of mud Vein on stage, as if that was
gonna refresh my memory.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And he's wearing overalls with no shirt underneath, and he
has his face painted white, and he's got a bunch
of wrist bracelets on like Rico, and then he's got
a mohawk and his face is painted like an evil clown.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Oh that Chad Gray. Okay, I said, Chad Gray. That
Chad Gray.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Old, that's one. Okay. Now, now there's got to be
something odd and ironic if people can appreciate it to
showing up to see the twenty fifth anniversary of a
band that you loved when you were twenty and now
(25:22):
you're sitting in boots sipping expensive tequila with your wife,
like times have changed? And are we here to watch
that guy sing? Although you know I say that, would
I go see Kiss today? Absolutely? Wait, you're fifty four
years old and you're going into a concert hall to
(25:45):
watch guys in platform boots dressed up like that with
makeup singing songs from seventy eighth. Yeah. Yeah, As a
matter of fact, I wouldn't now because I'm I'm I'm
trying to avoid tonights and my head rings all the
(26:05):
time from from sounds. But would I intellectually would I
go to a Kiss concert? In a second? So I
guess it's no different than that, right, Yeah, seems reasonable.
Where should Republicans be registering voters? Bill, you're up, go ahead.
Midget wrestling, Oh, midget wrestling? Is it? There ain't a
(26:29):
you know, there ain't a Democrat in that group. That's it.
We did midget wrestling at the RCC. It was one
of our best events ever. Al, you're up.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yes, thee Marie Miller Military Cady homecoming in Hallingen, Texas
and New Mexico Military Academy homecoming.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's a good call. You know, Sergio are the head
of our station in McAllen is also the head of
the Republican Party in and the success they have had.
He's always updating me on you know, flipping those South
Texas counties Republican. The Bushes couldn't do it. McCain couldn't
(27:11):
do it, Romney couldn't do it. Abbott couldn't do it.
It was Trump. Those people didn't want pandering. They didn't
want some guy that nobody liked who happened to be
Hispanic appointing to a position. That wasn't how you were
ever going to win Republican races in that you know,
you know, the Republican Party has a nasty little tendency
(27:31):
to think that you go find somebody who is black,
or you go find somebody who is Hispanic, and you
give them an appointment, and there's somebody that nobody of
that skin color cares for anyway, and you put them
in a position there's resentment toward that person. Nobody thinks, oh,
I'm going to be a Republican now because the most
hated person that I know that has my same last
(27:52):
name got appointed to a position that doesn't actually work.
In fact, that's bad Democrat politics. Instead, you find really
good people with good resumes, whose heads are on straight,
and you support them, some of whom happen to be minorities,
and that's how you'll get minority voters. That's the only
(28:14):
way you do it. You don't, you don't do it
through the pandering thing. It's just stupid. Mike, what's your
idea for whether Republicans should be registering voters?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, earlier, you know they took my answer with which
it was Nascar. I mean, I think any of the
motorsports events you know throughout Texas, Texas more speed weapon
for worth as well as code over there in Austin
will be fantastic, including Indy cars, but well recently even
with the wings over Uston air show. I mean you
think about the two hundred thousand plus right there.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yep, that's a good call. That's a good call. Zach says.
Any bar and grill a popular in a town with
a population less than one thousand, this is a good
one here. Doug Rojas says, county fairs all day long,
and that's true. You got to get out into the
end of the counties. You just got to get a
higher percentage of rural voters. Frand Rights, fran Jolly Rights.
(29:05):
When I attended the Charlie Kirk Memorial, on every seat
was a voter registration. In addition, there were people outside
registering voters who were waiting in line to enter the stadium.
Terrell Rights, cattle sale one hundred percent Republicans. Bobosh writes,
here's a list where you should be oil and gas
conventions and trade shows, hunting shows, fishing tournaments, gun ranges,
(29:28):
any military branch, boot camp graduations. Kyle Mott writes, from
my experience, most of them oil filled man camps are
filled with illegals. Maybe send ice instead of voter registration
Michael Wrights, if we want to compete with the demon rats,
we should recruit at the cemetery Steve Wrights ZAR. Last year,
(29:50):
my wife when I traveled to Octoberfest in Fredericksberg. According
to their organizers, they expect roughly forty thousand attendees each year.
While we were there, we watched a fortyish year old
lady walk up and down the rows of tables while
decked out in Trump gear. She was engaging patrons and
normally it appeared she was met with thumbs up or toasts,
but from time to time she would stop and have
an extended conversation. Her efforts were selfless and completely about
(30:13):
her mission get Trump elected. We stopped and spoke with her,
and she was a local lady with a passion. No selfies,
no look at me posts, no groups of others with her,
just putting in the work. And with that, Eve, your
patience has been rewarded. Thank you, What say you, dere?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Thank you? Michael. So, I've spent a couple of hours
looking over the propositions and then I got in the
mail the Texas Conservative Review, and it's several pages long,
and I'm looking through it. I'm like, great, this is
going to help me. And then I get to the
lost page and it is a photoshopped picture of John
Cornyan standing next to Donald Trump saying that he does
(30:54):
ninety nine percent of the time. And I literally got
up and threw it away. Texas Conservative Review.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Well, I'm very familiar with it, Eve, I'm very familiar
with it. It is Gary Polland, who used to be
the party chairman, who was run out of office, who
ran for office and lost, who took court. He's a
criminal defense attorney who took court appointments from the very
judges that he would get elected. Gary Polland was the
Harris County party chairman so that he could get judges
(31:26):
elected and then they would turn around and give him
the court appointments, which is how he made his money.
And he made a lot of money under those Republican judges.
Gary Polland is the kind of Republican who destroys the party.
I don't know that he got paid by the corn
In campaign to put that out officially. I don't know that.
(31:49):
If you were to ask me, do I think he did, Yeah,
I do. I don't think Gary Polland is a conservative,
and no he's not. He's a deal cutter. Holland got
into politics as an industry to get paid everything Gary
Polland touches is corrupt. Gary Polland should just be a
Democrat because he acts like a Democrat. Gary Polland has
(32:11):
made a living in Republican politics through the political process
for years and years and years. He's a squirrel. He's
an absolute squirrel. I think he's a bad person. I
think he's a corrupt person. I think he's a bad person.
I think everything around him is evil. I think he's horrible.
He cost us elections. He damn near destroyed the party.
So no, I wouldn't read anything The Texas Conservator of
