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

(00:34):
story last week that at the.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Houston VA Veterans Administration Veterans Affairs they had installed a
tampon machine in the men's restroom, which raises so many questions.

(00:58):
Let's start at the most funundamental. Why do we need
to provide tampons for anyone if they start bleeding? Why
shouldn't they provide that themselves?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Just a thought.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Now, I suppose you could say, well, it's expected that
you provide toilet paper. Yeah, yeah, it's true. I don't
know why we provide tampons in women's restrooms. Pretty good

(01:43):
idea when you're going to start menstruating. But it's not
a battle I want to have. If we decide we
want to spend taxpayer dollars on free tampons in the
bathroom people who bleed, I'm okay with that, that's fine, whatever,

(02:07):
But then why would we do it in the men's restroom.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's not harmless, it costs money. How does that work?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Who?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
So there's no tampon.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Machine in the men's restroom at the VA. Did somebody complain? Hey, y'all,
I if you're in the men's restroom, you're not menstruating,
So why nobody complained.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Some bureaucrat in the VA went to some.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Conference where they said, this is how you show them.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
This is.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Go back and do this. You know what this is
designed to do, destroy your morale. Insane actions carried out
and defended as if they're real, so that when you

(03:23):
react the way you should react as a functioning adult,
you are then insulted and harm is brought upon you. You'll
lose your job, You'll you'll be out at all the
things they do. That's how this game works until eventually

(03:43):
you normalize these things. Normalization is a very powerful concept.
It's what the left does daily because as they can
normalize that which is perverse, evil, sick, demented.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
All of it.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
As they do that, they are confusing you.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
They are weakening you, They are softening you. You lose
the resolve to fight back because you see these skirmishes
here and there that we are losing, and so you
lose heart. They are institutionalizing you. In your own mind,

(04:33):
you no longer feel that you can do anything about this.
You no longer feel that you should.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Do anything about this.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Because it won't make a difference, you believe.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
And there are a number of people who will say
that's not the hill to die on. Those people have
never found a hill to die on. As you keep
seeding ground, as you keep allowing them victory after victory.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
They don't stop.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
They don't stop.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Remember, we started.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
With the whole transissue was just acceptance.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Well do no.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
First it was tolerance. Don't beat people to death when
a grown man dresses a woman. Well, nobody was doing that.
There were this many deaths last year. Go look at
the facts behind those deaths. What happened. It's almost always
their boyfriend. It's not a couple of random frat guys

(05:51):
who beat them to death. There was the guy Bruceard
here in Houston, became a nationally famous case.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was awful.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Those guys are driving around drinking early twenties and they
see some gay guy coming out of a gay bar
and they chase him down and beat him to death.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
They should be hanged. What are you doing? Why did
you do that? And my feeling on that.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Is anybody who feels that level of rage and anger
at a person for being gay is struggling with homosexual tendencies.
And they're upset about it. There's no other reason you
hate a gay person for being a gay person. The
guy didn't do anything to them. He didn't proposition them,
he didn't rape them, he didn't touch.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
None of it.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
There are other witnesses who saw the whole thing go down,
all right, So that is your random case. That is
not what's happening. What's happening is you've got these trans
folks in a relationship and they're in a relationship with
some person that's crazy who.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Beats them to death.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
What happens.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
There's a lot of drama involved in all this, and
that's what ends up happening. But we go back to
why we're putting tampon machines in the bathroom. It's not
about nobody needs the tampon machine. That's not what it is.
It's about taking up issues to demoralize you. And that's
why Tim Waltz is known in Minnesota as Tampon Tim

(07:25):
because he put tampon machines in all the boys restrooms
in the schools across the country.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
True story. Grade school boys and grade schoolgirls all need
tampons all.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Over the world.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Once some month, their fronts holes leave there's just.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
One thing do they need.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
When you think about tampons, they tampons him. When you
think about tampons, think tampon Tim, tam bon, tampon, tampon Tim,
little white torpedos from a contention, tampon, tampon, tampon Tim,
having a tampond party with all your friends. When you

(08:17):
think about tampons, thing tampon Tim. When you think about
tam bons, thing tampon Tim. When you think about tampaws,
think tampon, tampon, tamp tampon Tim, tampon Tim.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So when you think about Tim Walls, what are you
supposed to think about?

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Romont Ray?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm Sheila Angelae the Michael Barry Show.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
You really adopted the.

Speaker 8 (08:57):
Doc I was.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
That's not to ride home about.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Credit to Chance McLean who wrote our tampon Tim Soong.
Now that's a song.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
There was a line in there.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't know how many of you caught it, talking
about tampon Tim putting the tampon's in the men's restroom,
in the.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Little boy's restroom.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
The line the line he wrote was little white torpedoes
from a cotton gin.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Now that uh, that's quality right there. Let's go to Kate, Kate,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. You're up, sweetheart.

Speaker 8 (09:52):
Go ahead, Hey, I'm going further with that Tim tampon.
We got a good old boy, Buddy Brown in Alabama.
He's got a song out there that says, little Johnny
still can't read, Little Johnny still can't write.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Well, I'm not going to.

Speaker 8 (10:11):
Play it all for you, but look it up. It's
called tampons. But they put tampons.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
In the boy's room. What the boy's room.

Speaker 8 (10:19):
Huh, the boy's room gonna put tampons in the boy's room.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, So again it is important to understand. You have
to focus on what they're doing. Once you understand that,
it brings clarity to a lot of this. It started
with tolerance. You need to tolerate people being different than

(10:46):
you are. Most people have a mildly libertarian street. All right, yeah,
do what you want to do. You want dress as
a girl, that's your business.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Then you move to the next one, acceptance.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
That is where after there is sufficient tolerance and you've
worn down people's initial ekey factor, and that's really what
it is. Then you say, all right, now we want

(11:26):
you to take an affirmative step to accept it, and
that rolls into promoting it. So now now that we've
won the tolerance battle, now we want to go to
acceptance and then we go into promotion, and that means

(11:49):
we want you to hire, we want you to make
statements of support, and we're going to get the people
who are out there in the public that you're supposed
to respect because they sing a song I guess, or
they read their lines in a movie, We're going to
get them doing it. We're going to talk about it

(12:11):
in the NFL. We're going to talk about in the
middle of your football game, when you're having a good
time with your buddies watching the game, we're going to
stop and immediately get into that. The interesting thing is
Black Lives Matter was supposed to be that, but they
lost interest in that. That's just been thrown away. They

(12:33):
moved on to the bigger issue. And the idea is,
and you know, ten years ago, I would have thought
I was crazy for saying what I'm saying now, but
now I'm sure of it. The motive and money behind
these efforts is countries and individuals who seek to watch

(12:56):
us implude, who seek to destabilize China funds a lot
of it. Sorrows funds a lot of it. If you
look at how much money has been spent getting Americans
to buy into the electric vehicle craze and where that

(13:17):
came from, which was China. You look at how many
democrats were enriched by those dollars to make that a
part of our laws. I saw that Volvo yesterday. Volvo
announced that they will not hit their twenty thirty number
of all electric by twenty thirty. And not only that,

(13:41):
they have cut production on electric vehicles. Ford has cut
production on one line of their electric vehicles. I forget
which one, but on the truck that they deliver. It
is currently costing them over one hundred thousand dollars in

(14:02):
a loss per vehicle they per electric vehicle they deliver.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, that's not all in that one vehicle.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
A lot of that is building the plants and building
the supply chain for that.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
But they are a long.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Way from making a profit on an electric vehicle. And
some of these major manufacturers now are pulling the plug
pun intended on their electric vehicle division and going back
to where they were successful, which is internal combustion engines

(14:42):
that had a brand loyalty and a proven concept, and
they're getting away from the electric vehicle I read yesterday.
If I get this right, I believe this to be right.
That the Tesla, the cyber truck, has made more profit

(15:07):
than every major manufacturer, the major automakers, not Rivian, not
Lose not Was it Lucid, what's the one anyway?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
It is Lucid right that they have made more profit
off that vehicle than GM Ford Dodge all of their
electric divisions combined, which I mean, I guess it depends
on how you slice that and how you get to
the concept of profit. But I find that most interesting.

(15:42):
My email from David Maulsby at Camp Hope today is
a picture at Camp Hope yesterday with the accompanying line.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Mister Keith Nichols. Mister Keith Nichols from.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Conico Phillips visited Camp Hope a few weeks ago to
learn about our life saving program for combat veterans. He
came back yesterday with a generous check in support of
Camp Hope and we are working on partnership opportunities going forward.
This includes Conico Phillips employees volunteering for projects on campus,

(16:20):
as well as events around the Greater Houston area. And
then there is the picture of one of our veterans
standing beside Keith Nichols with Pastor David Maulsby and one
of our staffers holding a check from Conical Phillips to
the PTSD Foundation of America for twenty five thousand dollars

(16:42):
dated September seventeenth in support of Camp Hope.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now, how cool is that?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
A number of you have emailed in about the Tucker
Carlson event tonight. If you just look up Tucker Carlson Tour,
Tucker Carlson Live, you'll see it online. I don't know
what else to tell you. I don't have tickets to
get give out, so you'll have to buy tickets.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
I can't help there. It's in Rosenberg.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm going to call Renee Butler and see if she
can keep another time open later.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Today so people can go there.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
And if you want to come to our event on
October twelfth at twenty nine to twenty, you got to
put twenty nine to twenty in the email to make
a film.

Speaker 7 (17:24):
The Michael Berry Just to say the word and I'll
throw a lasshole around it and plug down Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sweetheart, h good.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Morning, mister Barry. I just wanted to call and tell
you that we have a son who is Trance and
he let us know about a year and a half
ago that he wanted he felt more at home, he
thought being a girl than he would be a boy.

(17:58):
And there hasn't been a day that has gone by.
And I'm not, you know, blowing this up or anything,
but that I haven't cried about it.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
How old is he?

Speaker 3 (18:12):
And he's gone, He's twenty six and there's nothing.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
I can do about it. He's going on estrogen and
all of this kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
And you know, Atlanta, my Husbandry, Yes, no, no, go ahead,
your I.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Was going to say, my husband and I just we
cannot call him she.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
We just call him by his first name.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Does he at least have a name like Kelly or Tracy?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
What is his birth first name?

Speaker 6 (18:56):
It's the same as the name that he's got.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Now, well, I'm just wondering if it's one of those
names that it's ambidextrous.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Like Kelly or.

Speaker 8 (19:08):
More.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Yeah, it was Andrew, but Andy, oh.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Andy, Yeah, you could do that with Andy. Yeah, because
I've known some Andy, it'd be easier if it was well,
you know what I mean. So is he gay?

Speaker 6 (19:30):
He claims to be.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Bisexual, a bisexual trans person.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Okay, let's rewind a few years. Were there any of
these issues when he was in school living under your roof?

Speaker 6 (19:51):
No?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
No, no, not no?

Speaker 6 (19:58):
Would you have decided?

Speaker 3 (20:00):
I guess when he was in the last year of college.
I think he started, you know, figuring out maybe he
wanted to. I don't know. He could love anybody, you know,
and I mean I could love anybody. I love my dog,
you know.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
But and I work in.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
A job that is very accepting of you know, gay
people and all of that. And you know, if he
would have just turned out gay, that would have been great.
But this has been a little harder to accept.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Do you think.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
He really had some belief that he is a girl
or would prefer to live as a girl, or do
you think there was an influence on him that led
him to this.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
You know, he would come home and he'd say because
he went to A and M and he was in
the corps and all of this kind of stuff. But
he would say that he has more girlfriends and he
has boyfriend, you know, his buddies were more girls than
there were boys, and you know, he had a male

(21:18):
roommate and all of that, but he just felt like
his buddies, you know, were more on the feminine side
than the male side.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
And I get that.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I mean, I like to be around you know, my
brothers and cousins and all of that kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
You know, but I don't know, we're just still helpless.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Did he graduate?

Speaker 6 (21:56):
No, I mean and he graduated.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, he did graduate, but you know, as far as
using his degree, No.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Why did you say he didn't graduate at first? Is
there some Is there an issue there?

Speaker 6 (22:17):
No, yes, there is an issue.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
You know, all of this and I'm not saying the
court they charge you for the money, the air you
breathe over there, you know, and it wasn't cheap and
all that.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
But he just.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Didn't decide that he wanted to use his degree. So
you know, we just figured, you know, he got his
ring and all that, but.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
He just.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
You know, didn't graduate with the other I mean, he
didn't go into a chosen field.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
What does he do now?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
He works for or a company that is a I
don't want to say too much because but he works
for a company that is a scribe for hospitals?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
That is it?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
What for hospitals?

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Scribe? Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Okay, you know those people that take down your info.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yes, that's an old term though. I like I like
that you used it.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That's an old English literature term. Yes, Landa, Can you
hold with me for just a moment, Yes, sir, I
want you to think about something that I want to
come back to just a moment. I got to run
down the hall in t T. But when I'm back,

(23:51):
I want you to think. When you said you feel helpless, I.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Want you to help me understand.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
What you feel helpless about because I don't know what
you're going through. I can try to empathize or but
I don't, And I want to.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Understand that Michael Berry.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
The most corrupt president in our history, the most incompetent
president in our history. Black spotoms before we go back
to Lanti's call Pastor ed Young from maybe about a
year ago.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
John Ady, He's a liar, he's a killer. He creates
stumbling blocks. He especially loves to corrupt innocent and childhood. Therefore,
he loves abuse, especially by people children look up to.
These who rape children's souls as well as their bodies.

(24:50):
Instead of saving them, even by doctors who surgically mutilated
child sex organs, instead of psychologically asking for the healing
of their minds. Doctor Craft writes we should be compassionate
toward people who want to change their gender. We cannot

(25:10):
help them if we do not listen to them and
understand them, and feel that their souls are in the
wrong bodies, that God made a mistake, that they know
who they.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Really are more than God knows.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
They need those struggling in these areas to find peace
and unity in their identity.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
He also said this.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
Our attitude towards transgender people should be the same as
our attitude toward wounded soldiers. The church is indeed a
field hospital or to battlefield. The church exists for the wounded.

(25:59):
The church has. There's only one qualification, and that is
to be wounded. And ladies and gentlemen in different sexual
areas we all qualify. Is that clear enough? Is that

(26:20):
clear enough?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Lana is our guest. She is the mother of a
twenty six year old young man who has declared that
he feels more a girl than a boy. Lanna, you said,
y'all feel helpless. I'm not in any way judging what

(26:46):
you have to say, I'll judge anything. I'm not afraid
to judge. I'm more curious what this emotion is like.
Explain that to me if you could.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Sure, Uh, we have. I have talked with him about
his feeling about this, and you know, what is he
going to do to himself? What what can we do

(27:20):
to help him? And different aspects of you know, his
sexuality and his body and all of this. He, like
I said, he started taking medication to change his breath

(27:43):
and estrogen. And you know, one of our biggest deals
I guess for me is that I will never see
a wife's grandchild. The name is going to run out, and.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
We just are feeling sad about that.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
How much of your sense of helplessness is that you
feel that he's doing things.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
That obviously he's he's struggling.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
With his own identity and he's struggling with some issues
that most people will never struggle with.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
You probably haven't, I haven't.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
We may not personally know anyone who ever has, but
that the decisions he's making will make it worse because
we do want some level of happiness for our children,
and you know that what he's doing is counterproductive to.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
That well, and that's one thing that I told him
that you know, he's going to, you know, be discriminated against,
you know, because that's what he has chosen. And you know,
I don't want him to be discriminated against. I don't
want that. But it's like walking into a business that

(29:13):
you want to have a job in that you have
to present a certain book to your cli intel and
have tattoos all over your face.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yep, that's what I was funny, you know, finished the
sentence that way, because that's what I was thinking.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
It's exactly what I was thinking. How much of what
he's doing do you think is.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Some combination of seeking attention, wanting wanting to be more interesting,
because that does appear from a distance with some of
these people that that they're kind of boring, that that
they feel bored in their presentation and in their life
and their lifestyle, and they can't figure out how to

(29:56):
get out of that rut, and this becomes an all
new and exc citing community identity the whole thing. Do
you sense that I don't know your son, obviously, but
I'm just curious because I have seen that.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Well, you know, he he never had a big pack
of kids milling around him. You know, when he was
in school, like say, for instance, you know, a real
popular kid or anything like that, he was just a kid.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
You know.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
He was kind and generous and empathetic and all of
those wholesome you know, just a nice person. And he
still is. He's still a nice, kind, empathetic, gentle person.
I can't say that that has changed, but you know,
and he goes to church and all of this, but

(30:51):
it's just, you know, his friends are not straight friends
for the most part. His friends are you know, gay
or by or whatever. So I guess he feels like
he's got, you know, a cadre of friends that accept

(31:11):
him for what he is.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, you wonder to what extent he molds himself into
being something that they not only accept but want, they desire.
So he becomes that person, you know, the guy who
maybe doesn't love to hunt, but hunts because his buddies
hunt or fish or Nascar or football or whatever else.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
I think some women probably go and drink more rose
more often than they otherwise would, because.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
That's what the ladies are doing.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
You know, Atlanta, I had a Sunday school teacher in
two thousand two thousand and two thousand and one, two thousand,
say to our class, if you want to know who
you're going to be in five years, look around at
your friends.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
For better or for worse.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
You're going to be that group of people.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
And I have, in almost twenty five years, learned that
to be the case.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
I wish for the best for.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
You, sweetheart, hold on to hope, don't give up, and
hang in there. Obviously, this is a very, very tough
situation to have to go through. Our event will be
October twentieth, sorry, October twelfth.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
It will be a rally.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Send an email if you're interested in tickets. They'll be
free thanks to Nest Construction. Make sure you put twenty
nine to twenty in the title.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
