Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time. Time, time, luck and load. The Michael
Varry Show is on the air. I suppose we should

(00:38):
be careful criticizing young adults because young adults have moved
dramatically in the right direction, particularly young males. And there's
a reason for this. The left declared war on young males,

(01:05):
particularly white males, and they decided they weren't going to
stand for it. So let me give you some numbers.
This is I'm going to give you. The first number
i'll give you is from twenty twenty three. The second
is from recently twenty twenty five. Two year period. Men

(01:28):
eighteen to twenty nine, I'll say Democrat Republican. But the
way the poll was written, it's a pure research poll,
not exactly a conservative entity. But you have the same
polster conducting two different polls across a large swath of people.
So you got to the bigger the data set, the
more it is presumed that you have some degree of accuracy.

(01:52):
Men eighteen to twenty nine, sixty two to thirty six Democrat,
sixty two to thirty six Democrat. Two years later, fifty
two to thirty four Republican. That is a massive swing

(02:14):
in a short period of time eighteen to twenty nine,
women sixty five Democrat, thirty Republican, two years later fifty
eight Democrat, thirty seven Republican. Then you go to men

(02:39):
thirty to forty nine two years ago fifty two Democrat,
forty seven Republican, today fifty one Republican, forty one Democrat.
Then you go to female thirty to forty nine two

(03:03):
years ago, fifty three Democrat, forty two Republican, today thirty sorry,
fifty three Democrat, thirty nine Republican. The women of that
age group did not follow the trend. Then when you

(03:24):
go fifty to sixty four and sixty five plus, you
have a rather dramatic swing for Republicans. What we learn
from this is that the biggest shift politically is in
the youngest voters. The reason that's important is that young

(03:45):
voters have always been reliably liberal, and there are a
lot of reasons for that. The old Churchill comment, if
you're eighteen in liberal you have no heart, thirty five
and not conservative you have no head. There's the number eighteen,
there's number twenty one. Both are used interchangeably. Doesn't matter.

(04:07):
What the point is. When you're young, you tend to
be more idealistic and naive. You tend to believe that,
you know, if somebody's hungry, we all ought to feed them.
Some wody doesn't have something, we all ought to take
some of, take from everybody else and give to them.
Because we've not yet paid taxes, we've not yet learned that.

(04:31):
Usually people are in the position where they are because
of bad decisions, not because of the excuses they've made.
You also add to that, and maybe it contributes to it.
The reason young people tend to be liberal is because
they are in the middle of, or recently having exited,
the school system. The kinds of people attracted to the

(04:55):
educational industry today tend to be left leaning, if not
altogether leftist. Their influence is noted on the process, and
has been for a very long time. What's ended up happening,
of late is that the left moved so far out

(05:18):
that students saw it for what it was. It was
no longer intriguing, it was no longer an inducement. I
think I'll be to the left of my parents. Young
people today are in many cases more conservative than their parents,

(05:39):
and I think this is the first generation in the
modern era where that has happened, maybe the first generation
where it's happened at all. Young people today are virulently
conservative compared to their parents, and I think part of
that is they see the wasteland that has become our

(05:59):
public education system. They're the ones who are going to
school every day living in fear of being accused of
being a misogynist, a racist, a xenophobe, or worse, a Christian.
They see it for what it is. They see how

(06:20):
crazy it is. They recognize, you don't have to live
like this. This is insanity. So give it up for
the kids. This generation of young people is defying the odds,
thinking for themselves. We shouldn't write them off, but we

(06:42):
should also recognize another trend. You think young people today
who are switching from Democrat to Republican, which they are
in massive numbers, You think they're moved by Chuck Grassley.
You think the inspiration of John Wayne mccornyn has inspired them.
You think they saw Mitch McConnell lock up and thought, wow,

(07:06):
that's a vegetable I can support. Who do you think
moved them? A seventy nine year old man in Donald Trump?
And you know why, because that raw, muscular honesty cutting

(07:30):
through in a world, particularly for young men, that they're
tired of the nonsense. They know that Sidney they know
intuitively that Sidney Sweeney's attractive. They know intuitively that the ugly,
fat black women on TV screeching that they feel triggered

(07:50):
by Sidney Sweeney or jealous and disingenuous. Young men know
this intuitively. They know intuitively that sexual relations on a
college campus, on a high school campus, in the workplace,
that they've changed for the worst. They know intuitively that

(08:14):
the world has become too complicated and too weird and
they don't like it. Yeah, they see it for what
it is. Michael Berry Show. Now let's try to come
out didn't get the red. Imagine you're trying to get
a little pre workout caffeine pick me up. Maybe you're

(08:38):
an early morning before you go to work workout guy.
Maybe you had a hot date last night y'all had
something to drink, you stayed up too late. Maybe you're
a gamer like Ramon, and you stayed up way too
late and you're gaming and you woking up and you're

(09:00):
a little bit tired and you don't quite have the
energy you'd like to, so you grab a caffeinated drink
to give you a little boost get you going. You're
trying to stick to this program, but instead of a
caffeinated boost, you get a buzz. The maker of the

(09:25):
popular energy drink Celsius, who wrote Popular Chad wrote popular
Have you ever heard of it? Ramon? It's huge? I
never even heard of it. I remember when Monster came
out and it was all over the news Monster Everyone's
drinking What is Monster? Well, apparently it's liquid crack. I
don't know. Everybody was drinking it. And then there was

(09:47):
rock star Michael Savage's kids deal. I didn't know what
any of this stuff was. And then there was that Loake.
What was the one that Craig Levati wrote about? What
was it? What was it called? I Can't Hear You? Yeah?
For Loco? Yeah, yeah, So when he was when when

(10:08):
Craig Levati was writing for the Houston Press one Friday,
he was posting real time that he was doing that
because it was an upper and a downer both, and
so his deal with the editors was he could write
about the effects of it as it kept as he
kept drinking it, but he couldn't drive, so he had
to sleep it off in the in the Houston Press offices.

(10:31):
So he did, and with each hour he would tell,
you know, he'd had another one. And this was what
was going on. And so apparently it was a club
drink and people were getting strung out because it had
the effect well you know, like do people do Red
Bull and vodka? And you think about that. So you
got the red Bull keeps you up and dancing and

(10:53):
drinking and partying, and the vodka is getting you drunker
and drunker. And I'm told that's how people get into
real trouble because your body's natural shutdown mechanism is as
you get drunker and drunker, the pass out. The whole
point of passing out. The reason when people drink they
pass out is the body is shutting down and saying

(11:15):
that's enough. You're gonna hurt me. But with the upper
mixed with the downer. Yeah. So anyway, Ramon tells me,
Celsius is a is an upper. It's a caffeinated drink.
And I don't know when this came along, Like did
this replace Red Bull? Is that what happened?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
It?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh with the gym bros. Okay, so the bros that
go to the gym were doing Celsius. I wonder why
you know, I wonder you wonder about how, like what
did doctor Titchener's become a fireball? So fireball grew popular
on the university campuses. They were going to the campus
to spend a lot of money. So for those of

(12:01):
us who weren't on a university campus, we didn't know
what was happening, but it kind of picked up and
there it was anyway. So Celsius is an upper and
it turns out that they're now warning some of their
customers that vodka Seltzer's were accidentally labeled as Celsius Energy Drinks.

(12:23):
Somebody goofed at the factory and they must make it
in the same place. The products were shipped to retailers
in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin
from July twenty first to July twenty third. That could
be quite the shop huh. Clip number nineteen isn TV in.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Milwaukee Shopping Liquor Store off seventh in Wisconsin Avenue one particular.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Well you got ahead of me, let's do that again.
Credit wisn TV Milwaukee.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Story In and Out Smoke Shopping liquor store off Seventh
in Wisconsin, Avenue. One particular drink is flying off of
the shelves.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
We sold from seventy two hundred cases by a week
or two weeks.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
But now the popular vodka Seltzer brand High Nun is
pulling some twelve packs off of the shelves voluntarily due
to a labeling mix up.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
I think it's a really irresponsible thing for a company
to let slip through.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
High Nune announced the recall Wednesday for drinks sold in
eight states, including Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
The problem some of the vodka.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Seltzer drink was inadvertently put in cans and labeled as
the non alcoholic Celsius Energy Drink. Now, this is the
can that the company is telling folks to be on
the lookout for. It's the Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz edition.
The company telling us that these cans ended up in
twelve packs of High Noons like this one. Heyune says
the product was shipped between July twenty first and July

(13:40):
twenty third and are labeled with these lock codes on
the outside of the packaging.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I feel like a recovering alcoholic or something just looking
for like a caffeine buzz and you buy something like
this and all of a sudden it brings you shay back.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
If you cannot do it, you know what I mean
and what diver it is. You cannot do it. You're
supposed to company have like a managers, two managers, three
managers to be careful what they're doing in and watch
the workers.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
The company says you can get a refund if you
have one of the affected products.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Interesting. My friend Denise Partridge emailed and said that her
doctor told her that he believes that these that these
cancers that people are colon cancers are because of these
energy drinks. I can only imagine what a court trial
in the South would look like it sound like if

(14:27):
these accidentally spiked energy drinks were to get in the
wrong hands and cause a few problems.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
No order order in the court council court room is yours,
ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Of this fine jury. You don't have to.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Have a calendar look on your fancy inner web phones
to see that we are in the midst of a
July here in South Carolina. Well, it's hotter than a
big bucket of fried chicken. On the way home from Sunday, sir,
order Now, my upstanding client here, mister SCOOTO McCracken comes
from a long line of fine McCracken. So the McCracken
Walnut and Pecane factory off the interstate, not two miles.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
From this very court room.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
While I myself have aau taken in someone, his wonderful.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Pe can get to the point.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
My point of ladies and gentlemen of this jury is
that my client woke up on a steamy.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
July morning walking a.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Little pick me up to give him energy to go
crack his nuts.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
He didn't want coffee too hot.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
He simply wanted a delicious raspberry rock your socks off
energy drink. Now you can imagine the horror when my client,
a recovering alcoholic, took a simplest raspberry drink and it
contained the Devil's necklace.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
It's not my client's.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Fault that he simply drank fourteen more of these Raspberry
Devil nectars, drove his vehicle into the petane factory and
ran through a wall like kool aid man looking for
crack from Hunter Biden. No, it's not my client's fault
that he then ripped his shirt off stole the purse
from his secretary and ran through the Peking factory like
Dion Sander's in Prime Time? Did somebody say prime Time

(15:57):
coach primes like your client had too many Raspberry level
nectors and it turned into Prime Time real quick. No
worries you could depend on, depend on, you want on
life with the best. If you can't say something nice,
you can always say it on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
More. What do you think is the Guinness Book of
World Records officially recognized most premature baby? You can either
do how many days early or how many weeks of
gestation for the baby, whichever one you want to do.
Weeks early okay, or days early but yeah, okay, that's fine.

(16:44):
Twenty eight weeks early time seven is one forty ninety six. No, no,
but it I will say this. It turns out the
baby was born at just twenty one weeks of gestation,
So that's what five months in a week. I would
have thought it was less than that. But that is

(17:05):
the story out of Cedar Rapid. The story from k
c RGTV. This is chess prep clip number twenty one.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Go.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
Anyone who has been around Nash King knows He's a happy, talkative,
and giggly baby boy. His family and doctors call him
a miracle. Born at one hundred and thirty three days premature,
Nash now holds Guinness World Record for the most premature baby.
On July fifth, twenty twenty four, at twenty one weeks,

(17:37):
Nash was born, and thanks to the help of a
specialized medical team, he reached milestone after milestone. Celebrating his
first birthday this month was something unimaginable a year ago.
He's not only a world record holder, but the biggest.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Gift to his loved ones. But I'm thankful that we
are because again, that means if he's here with us,
so well, that's why we're so proud.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Of the record.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Nash has a spunky personality.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
He's always happy. You rarely see him cry.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
He's just he's always got a smile on his face,
and his smile lights upper room.

Speaker 6 (18:15):
A sense of pride and a journey they will always share.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
So the article says. When he was born at the
University of Iowa Healthcare Steed Family Children's Hospital, Nash weighed
just two hundred and eighty five grams. I live in America,
Ramon if I told you if I didn't say it
was a baby's weight, I just said, do you have

(18:42):
any idea what two hundred eighty five grams is? Unless
you're a drug dealer or you work in Europe, I
would have no two hundred and eighty five grams, don't
I don't know is that a pound? Is it five pounds?
Is it fifty d pounds? I honestly don't know of

(19:03):
anything anything that is measured in grahams other than illegal drugs.
Do you tell me one thing you can think of
it's measured in grahams. Crackers? Yeah, I got the joke, Yes,

(19:27):
graham crackers. Yeah. And some dumb ass Wes Hobbes wanted
you to have a show. We'd be getting graham crackers
jokes all day. Okay, two hundred and eighty five grams
is apparently ten ounces. They put that in parenthesis, like, well,

(19:48):
there might be somebody out there still holding on to ounces.
Like when they they say that, you know, we quoted
this from X and then in parenthesis previously Twitter, nobody
calls it X. Everybody calls it Twitter. Nobody says, oh,
how much Susie had her baby?

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Really, how much did it weigh and twenty eight ounces.
Nobody does that? You say seven pounds six ounces? Why
on earth? It's not an English story, It's an American story.
It says Nash Wade just two and eighty five grams
ten ounces at birth, less than a grapefruit, and measured.

(20:32):
Here we go again, twenty four centimeters long? Ramon, do
you have the slightest idea how long twenty four centimeters is?
Is there anything you measure in centimeters?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
What? What? You're so stupid? I'm racking my brain. I
honestly don't know a single thing that I would tell
you what the measurement is in centimeters? Two years before
Nash's so now we don't even know the length. Can you?

(21:09):
Can you call up Grock or somebody ask him what
how long twenty four centimeters is? I'm honestly, genuinely curious
why they wrote that that way? Am I the only
one out there? I have no idea what any of
these things mean. I have none. I'm familiar that they
are a measuring system, but I have I have no

(21:29):
frame of reference, and I never, ever, ever, ever, I'm
sure there are going to be people who tell us
that in their specialized field. Some physicist or somebody is
going to tell me, oh, well, I'm in this field
and we measure by grams and centimeters. But I'm trying
to think of a single thing that that we that
we measure. Hey, where did we end up coming down? Ramon?

(21:53):
You might not know the answer to this. When I
was little, my dad would tell me to go get
a a tool while he was working on our vehicles.
And that was when we were in the middle of
you know, Jimmy Carter was president like Obama. He wanted
us to be you know, just the rest of the

(22:13):
world light. And then there were Americans that were holding
over of no, no, no, we're gonna do you remember, they
were going to switch over the tools and the measurements.
I'm not a car guy, so I don't know, but
the measurements were gonna be in metric instead of American.

(22:34):
I realize I'm out of my depth here because it's
not my strong suit. But I don't know where we
ended up on that. I don't know if you do.
Here's another thing I was curious on this story. He
was born at a gestational age of twenty one weeks
in one day. This is the previous one from Alabama,
which was one hundred and thirty two days premature. So

(22:54):
Nash won the record for being more days premature. But
the pre mature number is just a number that's created
by the doctor. So if you were going into this
wanting to win the record, you would just set the
date where I think this baby be born in about
three years, Yeah, three years, write it down three years,

(23:15):
and then the baby's born in eight months, and you know,
up two years and four months early. This one's gonna
win the award. YEP, Guinness Boogoro Records. Nash was able
to finally go home in January of twenty twenty five.
He will continue to be monitored for ongoing health issues,
including a minor heart defect, and it is currently being
weaned from oxygen. He is still on a feeding tube

(23:39):
and wears hearing aids. So he's survived, but this little
baby's got to go of it. I'll tell you what.
When you see the picture of this little baby, his
mom is holding him in her hands. He's ver bigger
than everyone walking on born America. What an amazing miracle.

(24:01):
The Michael Show, damn laugh. So there is a video
that a guy made that's been going around and several
listeners have sent it to me, and it's a guy

(24:22):
claiming to prove that the six hour P three trigger
will fire independent of being touched, which, as you can imagine,
is a huge problem. That's how somebody gets killed or
at a minimum severely injured. And I wondered, you know,

(24:45):
is there anything to this? Why do people keep sending
me this. I've had some six hour, some former six
hour partisans, uh, telling me that this is very concerning,
it needs to be brought to light. Now. I've known
some folks over the years who are huge six hour fans.

(25:08):
And then it turns out that there is a police
officer in Houston, thirty five year veteran named Richard Fernandez Junior,
who on January twenty, at twenty twenty five, he was
working traffic control for a parade and apparently his six

(25:31):
hour went off and shot him in the foot, and
he is filing lawsuit a lawsuit against six hour. This
is an issue. Six Hour has created a website called
P three twenty truth dot com because this is coming
up apparently quite a bit. There are lots of people
claiming this happened to them. Rick Fernandez, thirty five year

(25:55):
HPD officer, is our guest. Welcome, sir, thank you tell
me if you would what happened January twenty at twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Okay, Well, I work on a crime suppression team out
of Kingwood, and they had brought us down for the
for a parade they were going to have on MLK Day,
and so we were giving an assignment to do some
traffic direction at MLK and Airport Boulevard, and so that's
where we were at and I came out. We were

(26:30):
told given our assignment, and we were told to go
ahead and get on posts. We went out to our
posts and I exited my patrol car and I walked
around to the passenger side to start directing traffic and
have some people to turn onto MLK a certain direction,
and I made contact with the eye contact with the
driver that was coming towards me, and I started a point.

(26:54):
I think I started a point, but I heard of pops,
and then at that point I kind of got a
little confused because it sounded like my gun had popped,
but it didn't sound like a gunshot. So I looked
down and I saw that I had a hole in
my pants around my calf, and then I could see
that I was starting to bleed because it was it

(27:16):
was coming out, dripping down my calves, down onto the ground,
and I told one of the people I was working
with that I think I'd been shot. And so again
we didn't hear a gunshot, we heard a pop. So
he walked me around to the driver's side of my car.
He laid me down in the car, and at that
point people started, I guess he radioed. People started coming

(27:37):
towards me to help, but they started putting tournipits on me,
and I didn't. I was I was confused because my
gun never it never came out of the holster. It
was in the holster the entire time. I didn't even
touch my gun and it fired. So uh So, anyway,
I was transported to Hermann Hospital and they uh removed

(28:01):
the bullet went in the upper part of my calf,
went down my calf all the way to my ankle,
and they removed it the next day. Surgically, I have.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Very well developed calves. How would you describe the development
level of your calves. Some people have really just kind
of straight up and down legs, and some people like
a lot of Asians will have really big muscular calves.
Where do you fit in that?

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Well, I was a college football player and I am
I'm older now, but I am. I am very much
at an inpoort rower.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
So I rowe probably a lot like mom.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
I row a lot. So if anybody that knows me
knows I talk about rowing.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
If I'm walking along in short pants and I flex
my calves in front of people they don't know me,
a lot of times people will comment, wow, that's an
imp you. You're probably getting that as well.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Well, I don't know, I really I don't know. I
don't wear shorts that often, I guess, but but well,
I have.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I understand where you are, so so at what point?
So I'm thinking that the natural reaction for you never
having touched your weapon is that somebody else had to
shoot you. I mean, I'm thinking your first thought had
to be, well, I know I didn't touch my gun.

(29:30):
Somebody shot me? No? Or was it angle?

Speaker 4 (29:35):
And no, it was just it didn't. I didn't hear
a gun shot. I heard a pop, and so it
confused me on how did my gun fire in the holster?
And I'm not pulling it out, I'm not touching my gun.
How did it fire? That couldn't be my gun. And
I'm not sure if I felt a little recoil on
my hip, but my gun never moved from the holster.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I I was confused. I didn't feel like anyone was
shooting at me because I felt like I would have
heard the gunshot. I've heard enough gunshots that I would
recognize the gunshot. But I heard a pop, and it
was because it was locked in the holster.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
And you think that what sound dampened it?

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Interesting, Well, a thirty five year veteran, you've been to
the range a fair number of times and you've heard
enough rounds go off, so I think you'd know the
difference between a pop and a gunshot. It's just amazing
that it's on your hip and it goes off, and
then you're I mean, you might have I don't know,
I'm just spitballing. You might have gone in shock. Your

(30:41):
body might have been in a shock that you were
not aware of.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
There's no doubt I was in shock.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
So they take you to the hospital and my understanding
is that you lost feeling in your is your right
left foot.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Right?

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay? So the bullet goes through your calf down the
leg and does it lodge in the foot or does
it come out?

Speaker 4 (31:12):
It lodges in next to my ankle.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh, is it still there now?

Speaker 4 (31:18):
They took it out.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay, So tell me about the process from there. I'm
assuming that's pretty painful. I'm assuming you have some surgeries.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yes, surgery to remove the bullet. And I was out
for about three months and then I returned back to duty.
But as far as the pain and as far as
the you know, the surgeon at Herman was fantastic, Doctor Eastman, fantastic.

(31:49):
H And my leg looks it looks about the same
as it did before. And you know, I do have
some some scarring alt my leg. Yeah, it kind of
followed the trace of the bullet. And I've had I've
had to have lots of physical therapy and I've had

(32:11):
to do lots of rehabilitation to it, and I still
don't have feeling in part of my leg.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I can only imagine what size round does that fire?

Speaker 4 (32:26):
It was a nine millimeter.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I look, I'm not the judge in your case, but
I can't imagine what level of anger I would feel
if I believe that a gun that I was wearing,
discharge without me touching it, can caused me all this.
Can you hold with us for just a moment,
