Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air. I talked to
(00:44):
we would double back to Netflix. And this is one
of the few times that I actually have a payoff
for what I said earlier. I typically forget Read Hastings,
one half of the duo behind Netflix it now has emerged,
donated two million dollars, a significant political donation to Gavin
(01:09):
Newsom's efforts to redistrict California to disenfranchise even more Republicans.
It's very important to understand because looking from the outsider
walking up on the scene, sometimes things are not as
they appear to be. You might say, well, aren't we
(01:29):
redistricting in Texas already? Yes. What the Democrats do is slowly,
but surely and consistently, over a long period of time,
take an inch and an inch and an inch and
an inch until they have miles. And then there comes
a point where there is a backlash, and that is
the Republicans who've promised to do something about it realize
(01:53):
I gotta do something, so they lash back. When that happened,
that is immediately thebally engaged the cribully defense. So after
everything you've done Oh my god, you're going to create
districts with the goal of electing someone from a particular party.
(02:14):
That's exactly what's been done already. We're undoing it. You're
going to get a taste of your own medicine. We're
going to have fairness. It's also important to understand that
the Voting Rights Act, as carried out by the Department
of Justice, particularly under John F. Kennedy and then Lennon B. Johnson,
(02:37):
was putative towards Southern states. There were districts that were
created for the sole purpose of electing a Democrat, a
black Democrat. The districts were so jerrymandered, they were so
(02:58):
moved here and there that you would have districts celebrated
by a gully to connect, not separate, connected solely by
a gully, I mean just dangling. Here was a massive
people up here, and here was a massive people down here,
and in between it's a little bit e lane with
no people on it, because you didn't want any more
(03:20):
Republicans in that district or any moderate whites that might
not vote for the Shila Jackson Lee candidate. That was
the case in I think seventy two, seventy three when
Barbara Jordan was first elected to the eighteenth Congressional District
seat that was created for her. Now, there was a
(03:42):
fellow named Curtis Graves who was a black rabble rouser
who he didn't care for that at all. He made
the point that Barbara Jordan is controlled by those downtown
white businessmen, and he was right. The eighteenth Congressional Congressional
District also carved in a good part of downtown. But
(04:04):
these weren't people who wanted to own Barbara Jordan because
they needed the downtown district protected. They didn't need that,
but because they wanted to control who this congressman was.
And Barbara Jordan was only too willing. She was also,
all things considered a pretty darn responsible congressman all in all.
(04:27):
But then in nineteen eighty nine, Barbara Jordan had multiple sclerosis.
I believe it could have been muscular district fore you
I always get those confused. And her health had begun declining,
(04:47):
and she had moved to Austin with her partner, a
white woman, and she, you know her, her hands were
gnarled and withdrawn, and obviously she could not serve any longer.
(05:09):
She was a faculty member at ut for a while
there at the Inn, and pretty popular across the island.
Republicans really liked her. She was a big proponent of
securing our borders, which is why we play often her speech,
her keynote speech at the seventy six convention Democrat Convention.
And then Bill Clinton had her back in nineteen ninety two,
and then he put her on the Commission to deal
(05:34):
with the issue of illegal immigration, and that's when she
gave those speeches that we still quote to this day
about you have to enforce your laws and if you don't,
you're not a nation. And we've seen that, we've seen
of late. It may not be too late, we'll see,
but we've seen what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Then.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Of course, in nineteen I'm sorry no, she steps down
in forget the year, maybe early eighties, and Mickey Leland,
who is an activist, rabble rouser type. He would be,
you know, kind of the fantasy of the hate Ashbury,
(06:14):
kind of a lot of the coming Mundani crowd, very
left liberal activist type, Saul Olenski organizer type. In nineteen
eighty nine, he dies in a plane crash over Ethiopia,
(06:35):
whereupon Craig Washington is elected over Anthony Hall, and he
serves until nineteen ninety four, when Sheila Jackson Lee the
first week of January, gets sworn in as a city
councilman and walks across the street to the now Barbara
Jordan Federal Building and files to run in that seat
(06:58):
in a pretty nasty the race, which to her credit,
she engaged in some pretty impressive grassroots efforts, and I suspect,
knowing Shela some cheating as well, I would feel certain
that that would have been the case. She was elected
there in ninety four, and of course would serve until
(07:18):
she ran for mayor against John Whitmyer in twenty twenty three,
lost or went into the runoff, lost in December, and
I guess that would have been January, about January tenth
or so of twenty twenty four, the last day she
could file to run, and she did, even though she
(07:42):
had promised Amanda Edwards that if Amanda Edwards would get
out of the mayor oal race where she was splitting
the black vote for her, that Sheila would support her
in the congressional race. Well. When Sheila lost some mayor's race,
she ran the congressional congressional race, and Amanda, of course
was out of luck as they say Sheila would have.
(08:03):
Sheila was of course very sick at that point, which
she knew but didn't disclose. I knew and did disclose.
And some of you said you was gonna die, come
had died yet? Calm down, Calm down, I didn't say
when I said very soon. Then Sylvester took over for her,
as you know, and then he dies, and now we've
got an election for that seat. All a seat designed
(08:25):
to elect a black person. To this day, it is
a jerrymandered district, recommended everybody says, a lot of people say, yeah,
ten commandments when need to live by the ten commandments?
How many people who say that do you think could
(08:46):
list all ten?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
None?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
No, I think it's fewer than five percent. How many
can you list? Let's put you on the spot. You
go in order? Whooh, look at you? Okay, all right,
let's see. Let's see what you got for Number one,
freedom of speech, and number two you get to keep guns.
(09:11):
Number four, no illegal search and seizure, okay, five, five,
you don't have to testify against you. So ten, let's
see ten that which is not directly granted to the FEDS.
Is retained by the state. It's okay, all right, nineteen
let's see eighteen you can't drink. Twenty one you can.
(09:31):
Nineteen women can drink. Okay, twenty four old people get out. Okay,
I see what you're doing. All right, let's see how
many you. I was gonna be impressed if you're gonna
rattle them on. You know one, yep, y'all shall have
no other gods above me. Number two? Okay, I'm acount it. Okay,
that's one. No graving image, very good. I love the
(09:52):
fact that you know. Graving image number three, oddly enough,
it's something many people do and you rarely do. No,
not eat funny, no glut. There's no glutting on this one.
Thou shalt take, Thou shalt not take the name of
(10:14):
the Lord, that god in vain. All right, you got
two out of three so far. Remember the Sabbath. That's it,
and keep it holy. You got uh, let's see, you
got three out of four. You got a more. Thou
shalt not kill? Okay, that's not in order, but I'll
give you credit for it. Honor thy father and mother.
I'll give you credit for that. That's five still not
(10:35):
in order, although technically you doubled back adultery. Yep, you
got six out of seven. Yes, stealing is one. I'll
give you that. Seven out of eight thou shalt not
covet uh, I'm gonna give you credit for that. So
you got eight out of ten. Thou shalt not covet
(10:56):
that neighbor's wife or his house or both, nor his car,
nor his car, nor his swimming pool, nor his lake house.
And finally, what did I leave out? Now? Shar now
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor? Which of
(11:21):
those you think you have the most trouble with? Not coveting?
Are you covet to us? By nature you like to covet,
you will occasionally cove it. Okay, I can see that
about you. Netflix has founder Read Hastings donated two million
dollars to the Gavin Newsome redistricting effort in California, which
is what got us off. In how the eighteenth congressional
(11:41):
district was jerry manderd There was another district that Sylvia
Garcia now sits in that was also jerry mandered. That
one was to create a Hispanic seat It was created
for Ben Reyes, but Ben Reyes ended up having some
problems and Green ended up getting elected there. Gen Green
(12:02):
was a white guy, but he worked. He showed up
at every King signetta, he showed up at every parade,
He went to every taco stand, he went to every
Catholic church, and he just out worked Ben and Ben
made a lot of enemies over the years. That same
Reed Hastings has built Netflix into an insanely financially successful business.
(12:29):
It's a hell of a model. Now I know I'm
goal to hear from people who don't hear what the
words I'm saying, because all they know is Netflix by
ad they do with liberal stuff. All that is true.
Cancel your subscription. The Netflix model is genius. They turned
the typical transaction on its head. Typically, you make a
(12:53):
movie and you say you spend a lot of money
telling people about the movie in hopes they will come
and pay to see it or buy it. So you
front all the money, and there's carrying cost to front that, or,
as is usually the case, equity that you have to
give up. So by the time you get to the
(13:14):
count and money phase, you've already lost a lot of
the money. That you make as it comes through the door.
The Netflix model was you pay us up front, will
go create content. Because now most of the content that
they're pushing out, at least in their new stuff, is
stuff that they internally create, or like Weinstein, they swoop
(13:37):
in once once some movies made dress it up, clean
it up, improve it a little post production, and put
it on their platform. But because they are working with
such big numbers, they can afford to overpay, and that
way they don't have to buy a movie until it's
already done. A lot of what Netflix does, they don't
(13:59):
pay a penny until the project is finished. I did
a project with Sean Welling that Amazon bought from us,
and we fronted everything we had to raise the money
for the movie. About two years ago, the whole movie
was finished and we had a guy who that's what
he does, shopped the movie and Amazon jumped before Netflix did.
(14:23):
Netflix may not have jumped, but you don't wait on
that and then they write the check. But even still
their deal is all right, here's a check to cover expenses,
but you're not going to make a profit until we
make a profit, which is when you hit these goals
of how many people download the movie, so they're sitting
(14:46):
in a great position. I don't think Amazon. Amazon's a
little different model because they're not generating much new content.
They went out using the old model and bought up
the inventory. If you want to see French Connection, or
you want to see Staying, or you want to see
an old spaghetti Western, it's going to be on Amazon.
(15:06):
Netflix doesn't keep a library of the old stuff. That's
been Amazon's model, But Amazon has failed, in my opinion,
to generate the new stuff. Netflix has done much better
with that. Now. Netflix has just signed a thirteen million
dollar deal with Stephen Colbert, who, as you know, was
let work, let go from Network TV. And a number
(15:28):
of folks have emailed me and said, this is stupid,
This is stupid, This isn't stupid at all. This is genius.
I don't have to like it. That's like saying selling
drugs to people cheaper than the next guy because you
get it for free is stupid. It's really stupid. No,
(15:48):
it's genius. It's immoral, it could end in your death
or imprisonment, but it's not stupid. Netflix's model is to
move you away from a destination Netflix and chill on
the weekend and to rival a cable network, and this
(16:10):
is a step in that direction. Netflix has been moving
toward the model of you going to Netflix daily first
before other stuff. And for a certain group of people
who watch Colbert, they will enjoy this content. There's no
doubting that we come join us. It'll be like old
times with Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Little line of shine under the window.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Let you know everything to line open the phone lines
from home. We just have a few minutes left somewhere.
May need to get in seven one three nine nine
nine one thousand, seven to one three nine nine one
thousand the eighty ninth legislative session, which for which the
irregular session completed all over a month ago. They're now
(16:59):
in the second special election special session. More than eight
hundred and thirty bills set to go into effect. I
will read to you what the Texan referred to as
the most important Remember what we're calling the bill here
(17:21):
is what they have self described the bill as if
somebody lists their home for a million dollars, it doesn't
make it worth a million bucks. There's a certain amount
of puffery that goes into this. I'll remind you that
Obamacare was known as the Affordable Care Act. It has
made care affordable for absolutely no one. It threw a
(17:44):
wrench into America's healthcare system. And in fact, on that subject,
since we're there, one of the things that it attacked
that I've had a number of Democrats complain to me
about since then was what it referred to as the
Cadillac healthcare plans. Employers were providing very rich healthcare plans
(18:07):
for their employees, especially union employees. That was one of
the things the unions fought for, but it also meant
a number of other companies. It was the case in
my father's day that you'd say, oh, you know, so
and so is over at DuPont. How come he didn't
(18:27):
leave there? Well, they got good benefits. You didn't leave
DuPont because there wasn't anywhere else to go in Orange
that you can make more money and get better benefits.
But when you got a wife and kids at home
and you never know what could go wrong, having a
good benefits package was a major major retention peace. People
(18:53):
didn't want to leave because they didn't want to leave there.
And in fact, Nancy Pelosi addressed that when the debate
over Obamacare was going on, she said anyone can be
an artist. Now as if you had all these people
who were just dying to leave their job and become
an artist, is that really what we want? If you
(19:14):
want to be an artist, be an artist a starving artist,
because if you're not a starving artist, are you really
even an artist in the first place? But anyway, the
acts are the Senate budget with Senate Bill one. Number
two is providing school choice. It doesn't. Number three is
the Ten Commandments or Center Bill ten is Ten Commandments.
Then there was freedom to pray in school, printal Bill
(19:35):
of Rights in public education, inappropriate books in public schools,
improving government efficiency, removing barriers to housing affordability, stopping foreign
adversary land grabs that did pass by the way, stopping
AI generated child pornography, making Texas healthy again, stopping taxpayer
funded abortion travel wildfire response, establishing a Homeland Security division
(20:00):
within the Department of Public Safety, reforming faculty Senates, and
stopping taxpayer funded bail. State Senator Brandon Creighton slated to
be the next president of Texas Tech University. Cody Campbell
the chairman of the Border Regions. They're announcing that to
be the case after former state Senator and then Comptroller
(20:22):
Glenn Hagar going to Texas A and M for the
text the top job. There, two elected officials in the
state of Texas going to lead public universities, which in
the past was not so common. Now John Sharp was
Hagar's predecessor at Texas A and M. And Sharp had
(20:44):
been the comptroller, but this wasn't so common. Well, I
guess that's not true. You had Bill Clemens, didn't Bullock
have a role at some point or another. But my
point is, I think you're going to see more of
this as universities which had lost their way. What happened
is you had these boards of regents, which was a
(21:06):
bunch of rich, old white guys, a lot of them
old oil and gas guys, and they would bring in
these young minority women who were spit barers and they
ended up being liberals and they didn't know where they
went wrong. So now they've gone back to pulling out
their rolodex and going to Republican elected officials where they know, well,
at least it won't be what some of these DEI
(21:29):
people because a lot of the rich, old white guys
on boards of regents get really impressed that some woman
went to Yale and Harvard and Columbia. She's got three degrees,
and she's a real spit baring and she goes for
a run every morning, and she's a vegan and she's great,
she's awful. But he doesn't know that. So I think
what you're going to see is a return to more
traditional values in our public universities. And I think that's
(21:52):
what the boards of regents are signaling they're ready to do.
Let's go to Buzz Buzz. You're on the Michel Berry,
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm Michaeling, longtime lister, first time caller. I emails you,
and I realize you get mostly answer every email that
ever comes along. But I was curious with everybody pushing
us to go to a cashless society. Nobody wants to
take cash anymore, and this that I'm wondering why there's
fear and known gas stations in the area can charge
(22:23):
fifteen to twenty percents of gallon to use my debit card.
I realized I shouldn't get caught Heaven to do that.
But if you live outside ten you can't always be
by a BUCkies or a Kroger. They don't do it.
And most of the mainstream gas stations don't, but you
know the other guys do. And I'm just wondering how
they get away with that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well, the same way they get away with charging you
for a Coca cola or ice or anything else. It's
not a crime to charge you a fee. You are
consenting to the fee. The problem for many people is
we want other people to change their behavior based on
us pleading with them to do it, based on them
(23:06):
being nice people, based on the fact that we wouldn't
do that. Why would they do that based on any
of these number of it is it is complete power.
Trump has proven this in the political process. Nobody does
what you want them to do simply because you want
them to do that. If it is against their own interests,
(23:26):
Now they would do away with that, if nobody would
stop there and get gas. Well, it's not fair because
I don't have one near me. It's not fair. It's
not Maybe their mindset is A, we can get away
with it because we don't have any competition, or B.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We have to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Maybe that's what they have to do because it was
they have less volume, less profitability, and they got to
make their money somewhere. But I have always maintained, and
I will argue this till the cows come home, that
we cannot be angry at the price people list in
(24:08):
an offer to sell. I'm always amazed people will say
to me that place over there, they shouldn't be allowed
to do that. They're charging twenty dollars for a burger.
Why shouldn't they be allowed to do it? Because not right?
What's wrong about it? That's an offer. They're offering you
a twenty dollars burger. Well, I like to eat there. Oh,
so you paid it, so you accepted it. There's nothing
(24:30):
to complain about. I do get your aggravation, buzz, I
really do. But that's that's the way capitalism works. That's
a commercial transaction. They made an offer, Hey, here's what
we're going to do, and you said, well, I don't
like it, but I don't have a better alternative, because
I'm hearing you say if you had a better alternative,
you'd take it. Must die to come up with the
right character. To Michael Barry, that's how I found my
(24:53):
first ten wives. On our show last week, doctor Mary
Tally Boden said that if you took the clot shot
and you want to know what your spike protein levels are.
(25:16):
That lab Core will test those. You don't even need
a doctor's notice. Lab Core will test those for you.
You just call it in, go over, they draw blood,
they tell you the number. So I had one friend,
pretty smart Kat right to me, Czar, I'm one of
doctor Boden's patients with a sky high spike protein. I
(25:38):
tested out at a greater than twenty five thousand. That's high,
very high. I only had the two Pfizer shots. I
did not know this individual had shots, so this was
news to me. I only had the two Pfisor shots
and completed those shots in March of twenty twenty one.
In April of twenty twenty five, four years later, ode
(26:00):
and tested my spike protein levels and it came back
at twenty five thousand plus. I've been on ivermactin since April.
I will retest in October. Hopefully the levels will be
back to normal by them. I am really terrified of
the oncogenic properties that's cancer alone of that spike protein,
(26:22):
as my nieces uterine cancer last year and my late
brother in law's liver cancer of this year are direct
results of that evil molecule. The spike protein is bad stuff.
It's very bad stuff. And I will tell you this.
I've never known a parent tell me that they regretted
(26:42):
their child not getting the shot. But I've known of
a lot of parents tell me that they regret that
they did and all of the bad things that happened
as a result. I'm not here to do that. I
told you so dance or anything else. I am here
to tell you you need to check and see what
your spike protein levels are, because I've got report after reporting.
(27:04):
Another one came out over the weekend of people dying
today because of conditions that can be traced to taking
that quote unquote vaccine which was not There's a comedian
last name Jimmy Dorry. I believe his name, Jimmy dor Dory.
I've got a clip we'll play it this evening where
he said, imagine if you took the polio vaccine and
(27:28):
you still got polio. Imagine if all the people took
the polio vaccine and still got polio. You'd kind of
think maybe the polio vaccine doesn't work, now, wouldn't you.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Was on with Bill Maher over
the last couple of days, and he was talking about
the number of deaths and severe conditions to occur after
(27:52):
the shot, and Bill Maher said, well, maybe that was
COVID that caused that, to which RFK said, exactly, the
shot either caused the conditions or COVID caused the conditions
and the shot didn't stop it. But if the shot
didn't stop it and COVID caused the conditions, why in
(28:14):
study after study are we seeing unvaccinated people not having
this problem. I saw a report out of Japan. Let
me see if I can find it. Oh, just for fun,
this was a Newsweek headline August twenty fifth of twenty
twenty one. Are you unvaccinated? It's time to make an
end of life plan? Remember the dance scene they did.
(28:39):
Eddie Simmons writes, the MMR vaccine gave my son autism
overnight back in twenty four Oh, he's talking about the
MLR back in twenty fourteen. He was nonverbal and staring
into space just hours after getting it. I will never
forgive myself for not doing my research. Let's see if
I can finde. Have you seen pictures of the CDC
director Ramon? This dude is a freak. He's dressed up
(29:04):
in all his different sexual deviant stuff. He's a big
gay proponent. I don't know what you call this. This
guy is some kind of weird. I think most gay
people would say this guy is some kind of weird.
Speaking of which, Larry Sinclair has died. He was the
(29:25):
one who claimed to have had sex repeatedly for hire
for Barack Obama. Here's the reports on the study I
saw this weekend. They call it turbo cancer. It's a
fast acting cancer that they are tracing to the mRNA vaccines.
Nearly three hundred thousand people tracked for thirty months. The
(29:47):
quote unquote vaccines increased the risk of any cancer by
twenty three percent, breast cancer by fifty four percent, bladder
cancer that's dion and he took every vaccine out there,
sixty two percent, colorectal cancer thirty five percent. We are
hearing anecdotally, again and again and again, young healthy people
(30:09):
getting forms of cancer that were previously almost unseen in
young people, and doctors are noticing again and again and
again the studies buried out, anecdotal observations of doctors buried out.
Fauci should be in prison for life. Deborah Burks should
be in prison for life. The ventilator killed people. Remdi
(30:32):
severe killed people. Ivermectin saved lives. Hydroxychloroquin saved lives. Do
you remember Stella Emmanuel, the Nigerian doctor we had on
and they said, oh, she's a voodoo doctor. She's crazy.
She did this, She did this. She was saving people's
lives at her little clinic for very little money, using
third world drugs ivermectin and hydroxyclorkin. Remember when Joe Rogan
(30:58):
looked like he was going to die and he took
ivermecton and they ridiculed him and he was healed almost overnight.
And now we know that in the state of Texas,
as of last week, ivermecton you can. Ivermecton is not
only not horse pacede it's available over the counter. Why
(31:20):
why are so many naive neighbors incapable of seeing what's
going on? You know who loses? You know who that
you win, And it's a zero sum game. Big farmer loses.
That's money they will not get off of you. Let's
go to Eavy. We're closed with heavy Go ahead, sweetheart.
(31:41):
Oh it's a dude named Evy. How are you gonna
be named Evy?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Hey, I'm from mid County.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What is heavy short for something?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, sir, that's my name.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh all right, it was my first name.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I will.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
What I was getting at was as a plumber. And
I know you're good friends with a plumber. And I
just did my continuing education this past two weeks, and Michael,
they don't put so much bureaucracy in everything.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I don't even know what this is anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
They're asking plumbers that are required to have a geed
to get a plumbing license, to tell you why inflation
affects a plumbing business, how the supply chain affects the
plumbing business. I'm a responsible master plumber. Those are questions
for me. Those are not questions for a journeyman plumber
that just goes out and fire.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Are you corbell, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
No, sir, I have shorts plumbing.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
You've been on my Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What yes, yes, sir, I've been on your show before.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Heavy h what's your last name?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Ajo Wati? That's it?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yep, yep, yep. You've been on the show. You've had
a mastered license. I think I think you've got a
single digit number.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I know, sir, I have a three digit number, but
most of them are six or seven, nine, the eights.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah no, you've been, you've been for a long time.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
So so that's the problem with these You know, this
idea that government is going to tell us who can
and cannot provide services for us. Okay, everybody thinks that's
a good idea until you find out the kind of
people asking the questions and the questions are asking
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air. I talked to
(00:44):
we would double back to Netflix. And this is one
of the few times that I actually have a payoff
for what I said earlier. I typically forget Read Hastings,
one half of the duo behind Netflix it now has emerged,
donated two million dollars, a significant political donation to Gavin
(01:09):
Newsom's efforts to redistrict California to disenfranchise even more Republicans.
It's very important to understand because looking from the outsider
walking up on the scene, sometimes things are not as
they appear to be. You might say, well, aren't we
(01:29):
redistricting in Texas already? Yes. What the Democrats do is slowly,
but surely and consistently, over a long period of time,
take an inch and an inch and an inch and
an inch until they have miles. And then there comes
a point where there is a backlash, and that is
the Republicans who've promised to do something about it realize
(01:53):
I gotta do something, so they lash back. When that happened,
that is immediately thebally engaged the cribully defense. So after
everything you've done Oh my god, you're going to create
districts with the goal of electing someone from a particular party.
(02:14):
That's exactly what's been done already. We're undoing it. You're
going to get a taste of your own medicine. We're
going to have fairness. It's also important to understand that
the Voting Rights Act, as carried out by the Department
of Justice, particularly under John F. Kennedy and then Lennon B. Johnson,
(02:37):
was putative towards Southern states. There were districts that were
created for the sole purpose of electing a Democrat, a
black Democrat. The districts were so jerrymandered, they were so
(02:58):
moved here and there that you would have districts celebrated
by a gully to connect, not separate, connected solely by
a gully, I mean just dangling. Here was a massive
people up here, and here was a massive people down here,
and in between it's a little bit e lane with
no people on it, because you didn't want any more
(03:20):
Republicans in that district or any moderate whites that might
not vote for the Shila Jackson Lee candidate. That was
the case in I think seventy two, seventy three when
Barbara Jordan was first elected to the eighteenth Congressional District
seat that was created for her. Now, there was a
(03:42):
fellow named Curtis Graves who was a black rabble rouser
who he didn't care for that at all. He made
the point that Barbara Jordan is controlled by those downtown
white businessmen, and he was right. The eighteenth Congressional Congressional
District also carved in a good part of downtown. But
(04:04):
these weren't people who wanted to own Barbara Jordan because
they needed the downtown district protected. They didn't need that,
but because they wanted to control who this congressman was.
And Barbara Jordan was only too willing. She was also,
all things considered a pretty darn responsible congressman all in all.
(04:27):
But then in nineteen eighty nine, Barbara Jordan had multiple sclerosis.
I believe it could have been muscular district fore you
I always get those confused. And her health had begun declining,
(04:47):
and she had moved to Austin with her partner, a
white woman, and she, you know her, her hands were
gnarled and withdrawn, and obviously she could not serve any longer.
(05:09):
She was a faculty member at ut for a while
there at the Inn, and pretty popular across the island.
Republicans really liked her. She was a big proponent of
securing our borders, which is why we play often her speech,
her keynote speech at the seventy six convention Democrat Convention.
And then Bill Clinton had her back in nineteen ninety two,
and then he put her on the Commission to deal
(05:34):
with the issue of illegal immigration, and that's when she
gave those speeches that we still quote to this day
about you have to enforce your laws and if you don't,
you're not a nation. And we've seen that, we've seen
of late. It may not be too late, we'll see,
but we've seen what that looks like.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Then.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Of course, in nineteen I'm sorry no, she steps down
in forget the year, maybe early eighties, and Mickey Leland,
who is an activist, rabble rouser type. He would be,
you know, kind of the fantasy of the hate Ashbury,
(06:14):
kind of a lot of the coming Mundani crowd, very
left liberal activist type, Saul Olenski organizer type. In nineteen
eighty nine, he dies in a plane crash over Ethiopia,
(06:35):
whereupon Craig Washington is elected over Anthony Hall, and he
serves until nineteen ninety four, when Sheila Jackson Lee the
first week of January, gets sworn in as a city
councilman and walks across the street to the now Barbara
Jordan Federal Building and files to run in that seat
(06:58):
in a pretty nasty the race, which to her credit,
she engaged in some pretty impressive grassroots efforts, and I suspect,
knowing Shela some cheating as well, I would feel certain
that that would have been the case. She was elected
there in ninety four, and of course would serve until
(07:18):
she ran for mayor against John Whitmyer in twenty twenty three,
lost or went into the runoff, lost in December, and
I guess that would have been January, about January tenth
or so of twenty twenty four, the last day she
could file to run, and she did, even though she
(07:42):
had promised Amanda Edwards that if Amanda Edwards would get
out of the mayor oal race where she was splitting
the black vote for her, that Sheila would support her
in the congressional race. Well. When Sheila lost some mayor's race,
she ran the congressional congressional race, and Amanda, of course
was out of luck as they say Sheila would have.
(08:03):
Sheila was of course very sick at that point, which
she knew but didn't disclose. I knew and did disclose.
And some of you said you was gonna die, come
had died yet? Calm down, Calm down, I didn't say
when I said very soon. Then Sylvester took over for her,
as you know, and then he dies, and now we've
got an election for that seat. All a seat designed
(08:25):
to elect a black person. To this day, it is
a jerrymandered district, recommended everybody says, a lot of people say, yeah,
ten commandments when need to live by the ten commandments?
How many people who say that do you think could
(08:46):
list all ten?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
None?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
No, I think it's fewer than five percent. How many
can you list? Let's put you on the spot. You
go in order? Whooh, look at you? Okay, all right,
let's see. Let's see what you got for Number one,
freedom of speech, and number two you get to keep guns.
(09:11):
Number four, no illegal search and seizure, okay, five, five,
you don't have to testify against you. So ten, let's
see ten that which is not directly granted to the FEDS.
Is retained by the state. It's okay, all right, nineteen
let's see eighteen you can't drink. Twenty one you can.
(09:31):
Nineteen women can drink. Okay, twenty four old people get out. Okay,
I see what you're doing. All right, let's see how
many you. I was gonna be impressed if you're gonna
rattle them on. You know one, yep, y'all shall have
no other gods above me. Number two? Okay, I'm acount it. Okay,
that's one. No graving image, very good. I love the
(09:52):
fact that you know. Graving image number three, oddly enough,
it's something many people do and you rarely do. No,
not eat funny, no glut. There's no glutting on this one.
Thou shalt take, Thou shalt not take the name of
(10:14):
the Lord, that god in vain. All right, you got
two out of three so far. Remember the Sabbath. That's it,
and keep it holy. You got uh, let's see, you
got three out of four. You got a more. Thou
shalt not kill? Okay, that's not in order, but I'll
give you credit for it. Honor thy father and mother.
I'll give you credit for that. That's five still not
(10:35):
in order, although technically you doubled back adultery. Yep, you
got six out of seven. Yes, stealing is one. I'll
give you that. Seven out of eight thou shalt not
covet uh, I'm gonna give you credit for that. So
you got eight out of ten. Thou shalt not covet
(10:56):
that neighbor's wife or his house or both, nor his car,
nor his car, nor his swimming pool, nor his lake house.
And finally, what did I leave out? Now? Shar now
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor? Which of
(11:21):
those you think you have the most trouble with? Not coveting?
Are you covet to us? By nature you like to covet,
you will occasionally cove it. Okay, I can see that
about you. Netflix has founder Read Hastings donated two million
dollars to the Gavin Newsome redistricting effort in California, which
is what got us off. In how the eighteenth congressional
(11:41):
district was jerry manderd There was another district that Sylvia
Garcia now sits in that was also jerry mandered. That
one was to create a Hispanic seat It was created
for Ben Reyes, but Ben Reyes ended up having some
problems and Green ended up getting elected there. Gen Green
(12:02):
was a white guy, but he worked. He showed up
at every King signetta, he showed up at every parade,
He went to every taco stand, he went to every
Catholic church, and he just out worked Ben and Ben
made a lot of enemies over the years. That same
Reed Hastings has built Netflix into an insanely financially successful business.
(12:29):
It's a hell of a model. Now I know I'm
goal to hear from people who don't hear what the
words I'm saying, because all they know is Netflix by
ad they do with liberal stuff. All that is true.
Cancel your subscription. The Netflix model is genius. They turned
the typical transaction on its head. Typically, you make a
(12:53):
movie and you say you spend a lot of money
telling people about the movie in hopes they will come
and pay to see it or buy it. So you
front all the money, and there's carrying cost to front that, or,
as is usually the case, equity that you have to
give up. So by the time you get to the
(13:14):
count and money phase, you've already lost a lot of
the money. That you make as it comes through the door.
The Netflix model was you pay us up front, will
go create content. Because now most of the content that
they're pushing out, at least in their new stuff, is
stuff that they internally create, or like Weinstein, they swoop
(13:37):
in once once some movies made dress it up, clean
it up, improve it a little post production, and put
it on their platform. But because they are working with
such big numbers, they can afford to overpay, and that
way they don't have to buy a movie until it's
already done. A lot of what Netflix does, they don't
(13:59):
pay a penny until the project is finished. I did
a project with Sean Welling that Amazon bought from us,
and we fronted everything we had to raise the money
for the movie. About two years ago, the whole movie
was finished and we had a guy who that's what
he does, shopped the movie and Amazon jumped before Netflix did.
(14:23):
Netflix may not have jumped, but you don't wait on
that and then they write the check. But even still
their deal is all right, here's a check to cover expenses,
but you're not going to make a profit until we
make a profit, which is when you hit these goals
of how many people download the movie, so they're sitting
(14:46):
in a great position. I don't think Amazon. Amazon's a
little different model because they're not generating much new content.
They went out using the old model and bought up
the inventory. If you want to see French Connection, or
you want to see Staying, or you want to see
an old spaghetti Western, it's going to be on Amazon.
(15:06):
Netflix doesn't keep a library of the old stuff. That's
been Amazon's model, But Amazon has failed, in my opinion,
to generate the new stuff. Netflix has done much better
with that. Now. Netflix has just signed a thirteen million
dollar deal with Stephen Colbert, who, as you know, was
let work, let go from Network TV. And a number
(15:28):
of folks have emailed me and said, this is stupid,
This is stupid, This isn't stupid at all. This is genius.
I don't have to like it. That's like saying selling
drugs to people cheaper than the next guy because you
get it for free is stupid. It's really stupid. No,
(15:48):
it's genius. It's immoral, it could end in your death
or imprisonment, but it's not stupid. Netflix's model is to
move you away from a destination Netflix and chill on
the weekend and to rival a cable network, and this
(16:10):
is a step in that direction. Netflix has been moving
toward the model of you going to Netflix daily first
before other stuff. And for a certain group of people
who watch Colbert, they will enjoy this content. There's no
doubting that we come join us. It'll be like old
times with Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Little line of shine under the window.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Let you know everything to line open the phone lines
from home. We just have a few minutes left somewhere.
May need to get in seven one three nine nine
nine one thousand, seven to one three nine nine one
thousand the eighty ninth legislative session, which for which the
irregular session completed all over a month ago. They're now
(16:59):
in the second special election special session. More than eight
hundred and thirty bills set to go into effect. I
will read to you what the Texan referred to as
the most important Remember what we're calling the bill here
(17:21):
is what they have self described the bill as if
somebody lists their home for a million dollars, it doesn't
make it worth a million bucks. There's a certain amount
of puffery that goes into this. I'll remind you that
Obamacare was known as the Affordable Care Act. It has
made care affordable for absolutely no one. It threw a
(17:44):
wrench into America's healthcare system. And in fact, on that subject,
since we're there, one of the things that it attacked
that I've had a number of Democrats complain to me
about since then was what it referred to as the
Cadillac healthcare plans. Employers were providing very rich healthcare plans
(18:07):
for their employees, especially union employees. That was one of
the things the unions fought for, but it also meant
a number of other companies. It was the case in
my father's day that you'd say, oh, you know, so
and so is over at DuPont. How come he didn't
(18:27):
leave there? Well, they got good benefits. You didn't leave
DuPont because there wasn't anywhere else to go in Orange
that you can make more money and get better benefits.
But when you got a wife and kids at home
and you never know what could go wrong, having a
good benefits package was a major major retention peace. People
(18:53):
didn't want to leave because they didn't want to leave there.
And in fact, Nancy Pelosi addressed that when the debate
over Obamacare was going on, she said anyone can be
an artist. Now as if you had all these people
who were just dying to leave their job and become
an artist, is that really what we want? If you
(19:14):
want to be an artist, be an artist a starving artist,
because if you're not a starving artist, are you really
even an artist in the first place? But anyway, the
acts are the Senate budget with Senate Bill one. Number
two is providing school choice. It doesn't. Number three is
the Ten Commandments or Center Bill ten is Ten Commandments.
Then there was freedom to pray in school, printal Bill
(19:35):
of Rights in public education, inappropriate books in public schools,
improving government efficiency, removing barriers to housing affordability, stopping foreign
adversary land grabs that did pass by the way, stopping
AI generated child pornography, making Texas healthy again, stopping taxpayer
funded abortion travel wildfire response, establishing a Homeland Security division
(20:00):
within the Department of Public Safety, reforming faculty Senates, and
stopping taxpayer funded bail. State Senator Brandon Creighton slated to
be the next president of Texas Tech University. Cody Campbell
the chairman of the Border Regions. They're announcing that to
be the case after former state Senator and then Comptroller
(20:22):
Glenn Hagar going to Texas A and M for the
text the top job. There, two elected officials in the
state of Texas going to lead public universities, which in
the past was not so common. Now John Sharp was
Hagar's predecessor at Texas A and M. And Sharp had
(20:44):
been the comptroller, but this wasn't so common. Well, I
guess that's not true. You had Bill Clemens, didn't Bullock
have a role at some point or another. But my
point is, I think you're going to see more of
this as universities which had lost their way. What happened
is you had these boards of regents, which was a
(21:06):
bunch of rich, old white guys, a lot of them
old oil and gas guys, and they would bring in
these young minority women who were spit barers and they
ended up being liberals and they didn't know where they
went wrong. So now they've gone back to pulling out
their rolodex and going to Republican elected officials where they know, well,
at least it won't be what some of these DEI
(21:29):
people because a lot of the rich, old white guys
on boards of regents get really impressed that some woman
went to Yale and Harvard and Columbia. She's got three degrees,
and she's a real spit baring and she goes for
a run every morning, and she's a vegan and she's great,
she's awful. But he doesn't know that. So I think
what you're going to see is a return to more
traditional values in our public universities. And I think that's
(21:52):
what the boards of regents are signaling they're ready to do.
Let's go to Buzz Buzz. You're on the Michel Berry,
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm Michaeling, longtime lister, first time caller. I emails you,
and I realize you get mostly answer every email that
ever comes along. But I was curious with everybody pushing
us to go to a cashless society. Nobody wants to
take cash anymore, and this that I'm wondering why there's
fear and known gas stations in the area can charge
(22:23):
fifteen to twenty percents of gallon to use my debit card.
I realized I shouldn't get caught Heaven to do that.
But if you live outside ten you can't always be
by a BUCkies or a Kroger. They don't do it.
And most of the mainstream gas stations don't, but you
know the other guys do. And I'm just wondering how
they get away with that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well, the same way they get away with charging you
for a Coca cola or ice or anything else. It's
not a crime to charge you a fee. You are
consenting to the fee. The problem for many people is
we want other people to change their behavior based on
us pleading with them to do it, based on them
(23:06):
being nice people, based on the fact that we wouldn't
do that. Why would they do that based on any
of these number of it is it is complete power.
Trump has proven this in the political process. Nobody does
what you want them to do simply because you want
them to do that. If it is against their own interests,
(23:26):
Now they would do away with that, if nobody would
stop there and get gas. Well, it's not fair because
I don't have one near me. It's not fair. It's
not Maybe their mindset is A, we can get away
with it because we don't have any competition, or B.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
We have to do it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Maybe that's what they have to do because it was
they have less volume, less profitability, and they got to
make their money somewhere. But I have always maintained, and
I will argue this till the cows come home, that
we cannot be angry at the price people list in
(24:08):
an offer to sell. I'm always amazed people will say
to me that place over there, they shouldn't be allowed
to do that. They're charging twenty dollars for a burger.
Why shouldn't they be allowed to do it? Because not right?
What's wrong about it? That's an offer. They're offering you
a twenty dollars burger. Well, I like to eat there. Oh,
so you paid it, so you accepted it. There's nothing
(24:30):
to complain about. I do get your aggravation, buzz, I
really do. But that's that's the way capitalism works. That's
a commercial transaction. They made an offer, Hey, here's what
we're going to do, and you said, well, I don't
like it, but I don't have a better alternative, because
I'm hearing you say if you had a better alternative,
you'd take it. Must die to come up with the
right character. To Michael Barry, that's how I found my
(24:53):
first ten wives. On our show last week, doctor Mary
Tally Boden said that if you took the clot shot
and you want to know what your spike protein levels are.
(25:16):
That lab Core will test those. You don't even need
a doctor's notice. Lab Core will test those for you.
You just call it in, go over, they draw blood,
they tell you the number. So I had one friend,
pretty smart Kat right to me, Czar, I'm one of
doctor Boden's patients with a sky high spike protein. I
(25:38):
tested out at a greater than twenty five thousand. That's high,
very high. I only had the two Pfizer shots. I
did not know this individual had shots, so this was
news to me. I only had the two Pfisor shots
and completed those shots in March of twenty twenty one.
In April of twenty twenty five, four years later, ode
(26:00):
and tested my spike protein levels and it came back
at twenty five thousand plus. I've been on ivermactin since April.
I will retest in October. Hopefully the levels will be
back to normal by them. I am really terrified of
the oncogenic properties that's cancer alone of that spike protein,
(26:22):
as my nieces uterine cancer last year and my late
brother in law's liver cancer of this year are direct
results of that evil molecule. The spike protein is bad stuff.
It's very bad stuff. And I will tell you this.
I've never known a parent tell me that they regretted
(26:42):
their child not getting the shot. But I've known of
a lot of parents tell me that they regret that
they did and all of the bad things that happened
as a result. I'm not here to do that. I
told you so dance or anything else. I am here
to tell you you need to check and see what
your spike protein levels are, because I've got report after reporting.
(27:04):
Another one came out over the weekend of people dying
today because of conditions that can be traced to taking
that quote unquote vaccine which was not There's a comedian
last name Jimmy Dorry. I believe his name, Jimmy dor Dory.
I've got a clip we'll play it this evening where
he said, imagine if you took the polio vaccine and
(27:28):
you still got polio. Imagine if all the people took
the polio vaccine and still got polio. You'd kind of
think maybe the polio vaccine doesn't work, now, wouldn't you.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Was on with Bill Maher over
the last couple of days, and he was talking about
the number of deaths and severe conditions to occur after
(27:52):
the shot, and Bill Maher said, well, maybe that was
COVID that caused that, to which RFK said, exactly, the
shot either caused the conditions or COVID caused the conditions
and the shot didn't stop it. But if the shot
didn't stop it and COVID caused the conditions, why in
(28:14):
study after study are we seeing unvaccinated people not having
this problem. I saw a report out of Japan. Let
me see if I can find it. Oh, just for fun,
this was a Newsweek headline August twenty fifth of twenty
twenty one. Are you unvaccinated? It's time to make an
end of life plan? Remember the dance scene they did.
(28:39):
Eddie Simmons writes, the MMR vaccine gave my son autism
overnight back in twenty four Oh, he's talking about the
MLR back in twenty fourteen. He was nonverbal and staring
into space just hours after getting it. I will never
forgive myself for not doing my research. Let's see if
I can finde. Have you seen pictures of the CDC
director Ramon? This dude is a freak. He's dressed up
(29:04):
in all his different sexual deviant stuff. He's a big
gay proponent. I don't know what you call this. This
guy is some kind of weird. I think most gay
people would say this guy is some kind of weird.
Speaking of which, Larry Sinclair has died. He was the
(29:25):
one who claimed to have had sex repeatedly for hire
for Barack Obama. Here's the reports on the study I
saw this weekend. They call it turbo cancer. It's a
fast acting cancer that they are tracing to the mRNA vaccines.
Nearly three hundred thousand people tracked for thirty months. The
(29:47):
quote unquote vaccines increased the risk of any cancer by
twenty three percent, breast cancer by fifty four percent, bladder
cancer that's dion and he took every vaccine out there,
sixty two percent, colorectal cancer thirty five percent. We are
hearing anecdotally, again and again and again, young healthy people
(30:09):
getting forms of cancer that were previously almost unseen in
young people, and doctors are noticing again and again and
again the studies buried out, anecdotal observations of doctors buried out.
Fauci should be in prison for life. Deborah Burks should
be in prison for life. The ventilator killed people. Remdi
(30:32):
severe killed people. Ivermectin saved lives. Hydroxychloroquin saved lives. Do
you remember Stella Emmanuel, the Nigerian doctor we had on
and they said, oh, she's a voodoo doctor. She's crazy.
She did this, She did this. She was saving people's
lives at her little clinic for very little money, using
third world drugs ivermectin and hydroxyclorkin. Remember when Joe Rogan
(30:58):
looked like he was going to die and he took
ivermecton and they ridiculed him and he was healed almost overnight.
And now we know that in the state of Texas,
as of last week, ivermecton you can. Ivermecton is not
only not horse pacede it's available over the counter. Why
(31:20):
why are so many naive neighbors incapable of seeing what's
going on? You know who loses? You know who that
you win, And it's a zero sum game. Big farmer loses.
That's money they will not get off of you. Let's
go to Eavy. We're closed with heavy Go ahead, sweetheart.
(31:41):
Oh it's a dude named Evy. How are you gonna
be named Evy?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Hey, I'm from mid County.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What is heavy short for something?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, sir, that's my name.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh all right, it was my first name.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I will.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
What I was getting at was as a plumber. And
I know you're good friends with a plumber. And I
just did my continuing education this past two weeks, and Michael,
they don't put so much bureaucracy in everything.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I don't even know what this is anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
They're asking plumbers that are required to have a geed
to get a plumbing license, to tell you why inflation
affects a plumbing business, how the supply chain affects the
plumbing business. I'm a responsible master plumber. Those are questions
for me. Those are not questions for a journeyman plumber
that just goes out and fire.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Are you corbell, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
No, sir, I have shorts plumbing.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
You've been on my Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What yes, yes, sir, I've been on your show before.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Heavy h what's your last name?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Ajo Wati? That's it?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yep, yep, yep. You've been on the show. You've had
a mastered license. I think I think you've got a
single digit number.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I know, sir, I have a three digit number, but
most of them are six or seven, nine, the eights.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah no, you've been, you've been for a long time.
