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

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I read that email from the guy that works at
Discount the Tire company, and I forgot to tell you
the story on that. So my friend who called me
about Discount Tire Company offering the free air, and the
guy had been so John Jones JJ. He goes by

(01:11):
that my friend Ray Hunt had called up there and said, Hey,
that was my wife. He were so nice to thank
you for that. And then I told the story and
everybody had a story of one sort or another. And
I guess a lot of people didn't know they have
free air. But I said it was the Tomball Discount

(01:32):
Tire and I guess that's the only one there. So
Ray went that night to bring him a couple of
HPOU Houston Police Officers Union mementoes and truthfully to recruit
him for HPD because they're hiring. And he said, I
pulled up and there were nine cars in front of
me to get air, and they had opened two bays.

(01:56):
They had some other dude, and they they were running
two at a time giving out all the free air
they could possibly give out. He said, well, I didn't
know how long it was going to take. So I
went inside and I said, can you tell me which
one is JJ? And they pointed and that was him.
And there he was six five three oh five. You know,
pretty easy to you know, pretty easy to spot the

(02:19):
manager of led Zeppelin from a distance. Anyway, So he
went over and spoke to the fellaw and he said
he didn't care. He had to get back to air
it up tires. I thought, you know, well, we'll take
a photo shoot the bull. Uh huh he had to
get back to uh, he had to get back to
to uh, airing up tires. I just thought that was

(02:41):
a pretty nice story. An investigation by The Dallas Express
reveals that John Wayne mccornyn's daughter, Hayley quote her lobbying
career reveals a pattern of overlap. As Haley's employers and
clients benefit from key federal decisions, her father's Senate actions

(03:02):
often align to advance their interests. John Wayne mccornyan is
bought and paid for, and just like Hunter Biden and
Joe Biden, since they can't give the cash to John directly,
they give it to his daughter, Hayley. That's why he

(03:25):
won't leave the Senate. Big donors are saying, you're losing
in the polls, You're gonna lose. Get out. He can't.
There's too much money in it. When you understand the
reason these people can't leave politics is not because well,
I just have a heart for people. I just want

(03:47):
to help people much as I can. I just feel
like this is a spot for me to help people.
That's a lie. They can't leave because their entire family,
their whole network, has been in all these positions because
guess what, Haley ain't keeping her job when her daddy
can't shepherd their legislation through. For these companies, this is

(04:10):
no different than Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. This is
disgusting and grotesque. This is what your government has become. Handouts, fraud,
bribe paybacks, stock tips, illegal stock trading. That's what it is.

(04:33):
And the sad part is there are so many people,
including these companies paying John Cornyan through his daughter Hailey,
there are so many of these companies that are benefiting
with their their snout and the troth that they will
donate to the pack who will then come back home
and tell you the poor schlub at home work in
an honest job. John Wayne mccornin's a good man. He's

(04:59):
right up there with Trump. You like Trump, don't you. Well,
you like people to help Trump, don't you. Oh, well,
he's helping Trump. John Wayne mccornyn and Trump. Oh okay, well,
Michael Berry said he was. Michael Berry doesn't know. John
Wayne mccornyn is right there beside. He's got his head

(05:21):
so far up Trump's asked if he was so much
as to blink his eyes. Trump's herod flutter. Oh I
didn't know that. Mm hmm, yep. That's him, John Wayne mccornyn,
him and Trump, arm in arm. He's the invisible man
right there beside him the whole time. Oh okay, I
guess I vote for him then, And you don't even

(05:44):
notice that he's running a bride kickback scheme, that he
spent all of last year criticizing Trump, that he claimed
that Trump should get out of the campaign. I mean,
what level of audacity? How sham? He took a picture
of him reading the Art of the Deal? Really after

(06:06):
last year, last year telling Trump to get out of
the race and claiming that he had no reason to
still be in the race. And then you do that. Wow, Wow,
lobbying career reveals a pattern of overlap. As Haley's employers

(06:27):
and clients benefit from key federal decisions, her father sentate
actions off in aligned to advance their interest. The overlap
between the two has raised mounting questions about influence pedaling,
conflicts of interest, allegations of pay to play influence pedaling,

(06:48):
and whether public office is being quietly used to enrich
the Cornin family John Wayne corruption. Haley corn began her
professional journey with minimal political or us the experience, yet
ascended rapidly into elite lobbying circles. I wonder how after
just one year working as a paralegal, she was hired

(07:10):
by the Patriot Group, a Texas lobbying firm, as an
executive assistant. Despite Miss Corning's junior position, she became the
firm's public face. Huh, wonder how come to have a
secretary pairalegal as the face of a lobbying firm when
she hadn't been there but ten minutes. That's so odd,

(07:30):
isn't it? She must really be good, really really good,
telling the Austin Business Journal that the Patriots planned to
open a quote very very large DC shop. Oh, y'all
didn't have a DC shop, but you were based in
Texas and now you're going to order. Now you're going
to open a very, very large DC shop. Well what

(07:56):
changed that you hired John Cornyn's daughter. I wonder if
they approached Corner and said, hey, here's what we'll give you.
We'll put your daughter on the payroll, or if he
went to them and said, hey, so she was the

(08:17):
face of a lobbying firm. Ten minutes later she was
hired as a paralegal and never done anything before. Gosh,
it's almost corrupt tongue. If you know, Ryan Bingham is
married to one of the girls on Yellowstone, Passey Harrison.

(08:38):
You know who that is. Play that again. I just
want to look her up. She looks cute from the
picture I see just the less. Oh, she's nice. If
women had even the slightest inkling, how much we talk

(09:04):
about women being hot, it would shock them. Not me, Michael,
I won't do that. Then you don't have any friends
and you're gay because that's what we do. It's natural.
The truth is, if a woman gets mentioned as being hot,

(09:25):
you cannot help it. It's a gene. I forget what
the number is you have to go look them up.
You are required to go and look them up and
see how hot, exactly how hot hasse h A s
s I E. Harrison. She got some nasty pictures posted.

(09:45):
I'd make her take all that down. I wouldn't want
my woman having all them nasty pictures out there, would you?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
You?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Would you be alright with that? You like them boys
that like to come to lunch and bring their sandwich
and want somebody else eat it. That's my that's not
my that's not my vibe. Brother, No sir, no sir.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I uh.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Now, I'm gonna go ahead and skip on that, all right.
So here's my question. We'll make y'all mad. Everybody's upset
over the foodstamp people because they eat bad food. And
here is my question. If you have to give two
hundred dollars a year to food stamps and then they

(10:33):
give it to people who drive nice cars. And by
the way, you ever notice the people on food stamps
they got their nails done. That ain't cheap. They got
extensions and all their hair done that ain't cheap. They
got long eyelashes. My understanding is that ain't cheap. They
got all this stuff they got an iPhone. If you

(10:55):
got an iPhone, you don't get food stamps. That's the
end of the story. Period. If you can afford an iPhone,
you can afford food. They don't feel like they need
to save money for food or a number of other
things because we're going to pay for it for them.
But what I don't understand and just hear me out. Okay,

(11:16):
I realize y'all aren't going to be rational about NIL.
I get that woman, send minimals. She said, Here's why
I don't like NIL number one. It reduces the loyalty
of the student athlete to the university. Okay, well, what
about the coaches? How about Tommy Tubberville, who who was

(11:38):
at dinner with Texas Tech recruits who had committed and
he said, oh, got to take this call, gets something,
walks out of the room. It's Auburn. He doesn't even
go back in the room. How would you feel you've
committed to the university and he's off to Auburn. Oh,
but nobody talks about that. You think these coaches are

(12:02):
so committed to your school because you root for them. No,
you need to think that makes you feel better because
you're loyal to your school, so you want them to
be loyal. I got news for you. A bigger payday
comes along. They're going to a different school period. End
of story. I don't know why you need this desperate

(12:27):
Oh there. Eric Dickerson just loves the Southern Methodist University mustangs.
He loves Dallas, he loves the red, white and blue.
He loves the option, he loves that it's Methodist in nature,
he loves its history, the campus. There's nowhere he'd rather play. Well,

(12:50):
that's funny because he got wallet whipped to go there.
He wasn't even going to go there. And to think
the only difference between then and now is he only
got a goal trans am. Today he'd get paid. Well,
if you introduce money, then there's no love of the game.

(13:10):
Why are the coaches coaching just curious? Why are you
doing what you're doing? Why do you do the job
you do? Does your pastor get paid? Because if he does,
he must not care about the gospel. That's the dumbest
argument ever. Well, I don't like the portal because then

(13:34):
they're not loyal to the school. Oh you need to
know that a kid's going to be there for all
four years? What if he doesn't transfer to another school,
he just goes pro. It's the stupidest argument ever. I
couldn't do sports talk. I couldn't because people are somewhat
rational when it comes to politics. With sports, they're stupid.

(13:55):
I like that team, and therefore I'm gonna say stupid
stuff about that team. I don't want a game in
four years. But they're very very good. No, no, they're horrible.
I'm a fan. I can't be rational, Okay, and that's
what we're doing here. But here is my question for you.
We're gonna need more than a half hour to get
to this, so I'll do this tomorrow. But I want
you to be thinking about this. If you have to

(14:17):
give two hundred dollars for food stamps, and let's say
instead of it routing through the government and them keeping
their share, let's say they make everybody adopt one person.
You got to give that person two hundred dollars. Are
you going to the grocery store to make sure that
they buy the food that you would consider healthy, because
apparently for a lot of people they would. A lot

(14:39):
of people are very bothered at that person buys sugar products,
And I say, why are you so bothered. That's fattening. Okay,
well you choose fattening stuff they're eating and drinking to
satisfy their hunger. They should be paying for that themselves,

(15:01):
and they're not. But if they satisfy their hunger with
a big red or a grape soda and cheetos, why
does that bother you so much? Well, it's not good
for them. Okay. They're also not getting any exercise, they

(15:22):
don't keep a regular sleep cycle, they haven't drank water
in six years, and they made thirteen kids by thirteen
different men. Are you really that concerned with what they're eating? Well,
if I'm paying for it, well, in one of the arguments,
if the government's giving it to them, the government gets
to put restrictions. That's the way things go. But the

(15:43):
government is you. Why do you the government is your agent?
Why do you want we're talking about whether they should
or not not, whether they can. Why are you trying
to control with these people eat? You don't want the
government telling you if you can have a gun or not,
and you want fat pork, you not to have sugar.
That's just dumb. We recently came home from a trip

(16:12):
to Palm Beach, a listener trip and we'd been away
for four days. When we got back. The trainer who
we use for George was he was not able to
get her over the first day we were back, so
it was not until Tuesday evening, so we hadn't seen
George in a week. And it's funny because you don't

(16:37):
realize how different your household is. If you're a dog person,
you don't realize how different your household is when they're gone.
And I always make fun of catwomen, mostly because it's
fun and it upsets them and it's just a way
to probe people. But if I'm honest, our house sounded empty.

(16:58):
And we still have one kid, Michael T's gone off
to college. Crocket's in his senior year, but he has
no use for us. He's busy, he's got sports, and
you know your senior year, there's something going on every day.
So my wife said, the house is so quiet without George.
She barks, she moves around, she's loving on us, she's
nudging us, she's begging for food. I mean, she's just

(17:21):
bringing life into the home. It's crazy how much we
love these daring things. And I will tell you I
have noticed that when people get a dog for their
elderly mother or father. What a difference it makes because
dogs are so glorious. They make us so happy. You've
heard me over the years talk about rough Greens. I

(17:43):
got connected with rough Greens r U f F roughgreens
dot com. And by the way, if you go there
and you buy it, use the code George because she
loves getting credit for the fact that she's the reason
you went there. And I've told you the virtues this.
I got connected with rough Greens several years ago when

(18:03):
I met doctor Dennis Black, who was a founder in Dallas,
and we got to talk in and he knew George Foreman,
and George Foreman had given me George, which is why
I named her George after him, and he knew her.
He had a background in boxing and he's a dog guy.
We got talking about gut health, and these are things
that interest me in humans already. We got to talking

(18:24):
about gut health and coat and cancers and energy and
all these different things. And he said, well, I'm going
to send you a packet you just try it. And
I said, well, doctor Black, i'ma be honest with you.
My wife is very fastidious about George's food because George
is very fastidious and I can't really be honest with you.
I can't change out her food because we finally got

(18:45):
something that works for her. And he said, you don't
have to use scoop it over the top. She doesn't
like it, don't use it. Well we did, and reluctantly
because we had a great little system for her, because
she's a finicky thing. And it changed everything. I said.
Three weeks in, I said, well, I noticed she has
more energy, and I notice she's not shedding, and that
was a problem because I have allergies. And he said,

(19:06):
it's a ninety day deal. It'll take thirty days to
see what you've done. You're seeing it a little early.
And then he told me at sixty and he told
me at ninety and like clockwork, that work. So anyway,
he had written a new book. I asked him about
the book, and I asked him if we could get
him on the show to talk about it. And it's
been hard to coordinate our schedules because he's working all

(19:29):
the time. I've been doing a lot of travel, but
without further ado. Doctor Dennis black Off roughgreens dot Com.
My Dog, My Dog, food and gut health expert, doctor Black.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Welcome to the program, Michael Berry, thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
So I don't know how you managed to do it.
You know, Rush Limbaugh used to say after his two books,
he said, I'll never write another one because I don't
have an iron butt. You manage. Every time I see you,
it's in a different city, you man and it's just
you various enterprises. You're constantly doing research and coming up
with innovative, cutting edge, crazy stuff that ends up working.

(20:09):
You've got a family, you built a home. I don't
know how you found time to write a new book,
but you did, and tell us about it.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, essentially, what the nexus for the book was was
all these customers that keep asking me these questions and
they email them in and I thought, maybe, you know,
instead of just answering these one at a time, I
should just kind of compile them all into one thing
and let that be the outline for the book. And

(20:39):
so half of the book is for dogs and the
other half is for cats. So if you're a dog
person and you don't have cats or don't like cats,
don't read the second half of the book. It's not
for you. It's for cat people. But if you're a
cat person and you don't really like dogs, we'll read
the second half of the book, not the first half.
But the reality is that we just took all the

(21:04):
questions that people had and we just formulated it into
a table of contents, and it turns out that literally
within twenty four hours, it became an Amazon number one bestseller.
Because the name of the book is a natural Path
to Pet Health, how to save thousands on vet bills

(21:27):
and dog food or pet food, and so one of
the things that we included in the book was over
thirty five recipes on how to make food for your pet.
And it's not expensive. As a matter of fact, a
lot of the stuff that you needs to go in there,
you probably already have in your home, so we just

(21:48):
teach you how to make it. There's several pet foods
on the market that are so expensive for a dog
the size of yours and mine, I have four big dogs,
it would be over eight hundred dollars a month for
one dog just for their food, and then it's still
cooked and it's not really a complete dog food. So

(22:10):
that's what we decided, We're just going to show people
how to make their own dog food at home. You
don't need something made by a farmer. You can just
do it yourself and people love it. We've had nothing
but great reviews because of it. But I will tell you,
I'll warn people ahead of time. When you get it.

(22:32):
It's going to list tons and tons of products that
we have at rough Greens, all created by us at
Rough Greens. By the way, we have rough Greens for dogs,
we have Miogreens for cats. We have Rough natural shampoos
and skin conditioners. We have Rough h twoo hydration products.

(22:52):
So we're going to recommend those things throughout the entire book.
And the reason is because they're the best products on
the market for dogs and cats. That's why we do it.
That's why we made them to begin with.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
You know, it's interesting for me. My wife is I
don't want to say a health nut because she doesn't
try to impose it on anyone else or make it
weird for anyone else. She has just experimented on her
body in her fifty seven years to figure out what
makes her feel good and what makes her doesn't what doesn't.

(23:26):
And she hasn't high. She has a high A one
C even though she's very, very healthy and works out
and keeps her weight down and all that, and that
was genetics and she couldn't help that. But just like
my dad, she has aggressively treated it and never needed
insulin as a result of it. She studies her blood
sugar and all that. And so we talk a lot.

(23:47):
It's become kind of a hobby for both of us
about what we put into our bodies, how much we sleep,
how much water we drink, the exercise we get, and
we talk a lot about food goes into our body.
And you and I have had this conversation. I think
Robert F. Kennedy Junior has exposed and it truly makes

(24:08):
me sad that with all the advancements we made in
this country, most Americans are less healthy today than we
were sixty years ago. And the reason was we got
away from And it's in the title of the book,
A Natural Path to Human Health, and this is a

(24:28):
natural path to pet health. And as bad as it
was for what we did to the food for humans,
it was even worse for pets. We'll talk to doctor
Dennis Black coming up the book as a Natural Path
to Pet health. Michael Varry, known as the Aar also
known as El Casinos doctor Dennis Black as our guest.

(24:54):
He happens to be a show sponsor. He's become a friend.
I knew him before he was a show sponsor.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Me.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I think he sends everybody some supplements for our dog
to try. It's a supplement you put over the food.
And he didn't sell it, he didn't push it, he
didn't tell me, and he just give it a try
and to what you think. And my wife was one
who immediately noticed, because she brushes George three four times
a day, that she wasn't shedding like she was, and
she noticed that she had more energy. And we started

(25:22):
noticing these improvements. And I sent an email and I said,
all right, all right, I'm sold. Let's talk. And I
had him on the show I think before he ever
became a show sponsor. And we've kind of developed a
relationship through my dog talking with me about questions I
have for my dog. So we were talking about the
book is called It's a new book, A Natural Path
to Pet Health Doctor Dennis Black. How frustrating and kind

(25:44):
of sad it makes me. I love what Robert F.
Kennedy Junior is doing exposing the red dye and all
these terrible things that are going into our food. But
as it turns out, and you can speak further to
this doctor Black, as much as the human food psychle
has been corrupted, it's even worse for dogs. And how
sad is that?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, it's not only is it worse, it's atrocious. The
reality is that people feed their dog. You know, they go.
It's overwhelming when you go to a big box store
to pick up food for your dog and you walk
down aisle after aisle, a bag after bag, and you

(26:26):
you know, you see a picture of a dog jumping
over a log with a wolf, and it says complete
and balanced nutrition and all these things. The marketing is
just phenomenal on these products. It's all a lie. Every
bit of it is a lie. I actually toured a
dog manufacturing facility several years ago. I took my German

(26:46):
shepherd with me when I went, and we toured the
facility and there was kibble coming right out of the
right out of the oven and it was still warm.
And I took a handful of it and I offered
it to my dog, Buster, and Buster just took one
look at it and he turned his nose up. Just
look the other direction. I asked my tour guide, I said,

(27:08):
why won't my dog eat this product? And he said, well,
we're not done with it yet. I said, oh, well,
what do you have to do? He said, we have
to spray on palatability enhancers, fats and oils and flavoring
to get the dogs to eat it. If we didn't
do that, the dogs would never eat kibble. And I thought, wow,
dogs are actually smarter than we thought. There is almost

(27:29):
no regulation, very little regulation on pet food. They make
it look like there's regulation, but it's not much so
artificial colors, dyes, and I'm not here to badmouth to anyone,
you know me, Michael, I'm not here to badmouth anyone.
But I can tell you if you just look at
these prepackaged dog foods that are anti kibble, but look

(27:51):
at them closely, you'll find that most of them have
artificial colors, dyes, and synthetic vitamins. By the way, synthetic
vim and is code word for your body can't use it,
and your dog's body can't use it either, so they
at best they will just slough it off. The dog
food that's manufacturing I mean, is a billion dollar industry,

(28:15):
and there's really no good dog food out there, which
so we decided at rough Greens. We decided, well, we
can do one or two things. We can create a
dog food and compete in the dog food space, or
we can make a supplement that you just add to
any dog food and it makes it better. I said,
let's go with the second option, because all you got

(28:36):
to do is add a spoonful of rough Greens when
the dog eats kibble NonStop. And remember there's no live
nutrition in kibble. When the dog eats kibble non stop,
what they end up with our nutritional deficiencies. They show
up as medical issues, skin issues, bad breath, digestive issues,

(28:56):
joint pain, all kinds of things like that. And people think, oh,
you know, I've got to take my dog to the
vet and get some apoquill because my dog's allergies are
really bad or whatever. No, all you have to do
is fix what you're feeding the dog and those symptoms
will all go away. The most dog illnesses are not

(29:17):
medical issues at all, their nutritional deficiencies. And when you
add something as simple as rough Greens to their diet,
and like I said, you want to do it for
a minimum of ninety days, and then you'll see that
tons of benefits. You won't completely heal them completely. Healing
takes about one hundred and eighty days. Takes about six
months to completely rebuild the gut and the immune system.

(29:41):
But once you get them healthy, then you can just
put them on a maintenance dose of that stuff for
the rest of their life. You're going to add twenty
five to thirty percent of the light to the life
span of your pet, given based on other dogs of
the same breed.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
The book is A Natural Path to hat Health by
doctor Dennis Black. I'm just curious. I don't know if
I've ever asked you what percentage of your subscribers of
folks who do what I do and use the supplements
and all that are cats versus dog owners.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
So there's about eighty five million dog owners in America
and there's about sixty million cat owners, so it's a
roughly sixty to forty percent ratio. But the cat owners
almost own, almost universally, have more than one cat. Right
if they have one cat, they usually have three as

(30:36):
a minimum. A dog owners twenty five percent of the
time they have two dogs or more, and a lot
of people, believe it or not. Twenty five percent of
pet owners have both a dog and a cat. So
that's why we have several bundling options on rough greens.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Last night, my wife and I were watching a movie
and George came and laid down beside us, and she
did that thing which always makes us laugh. She went,
she don't like to wait to the world is on her,
and it reminded me of a cocker Spaniel we had
years ago. And I grew up with cocker spaniels. And
my wife said, because she didn't grow up here, she
grew up India. And I've told her that when I
was growing up, cocker spaniels very popular. Did Cocker spaniels

(31:18):
just go away? Do you do? You do you see
people who have cocker Spaniels.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
It's not. It's not a popular breed as much anymore.
And the reason is because they're they're very energetic, uh
and sometimes they can be overstressed by children, and so
they're not a great family dog per se. There's there's
other dogs that are that are that are much better

(31:43):
as a family dog, and so a lot of people
don't get them because they're afraid that they might get
highly stressed around their kids and nip at them or
or something of that. I don't mean to give them
a bad name, but that's the reason why they got
away from them As a breed.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Replacing them, what are you seeing replacing them? What breeds
For people who know.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
There's several. It depends on the size of the dog
and what your lifestyle is. If you can brush your
dog on a regular basis, then shedding doesn't really matter much,
especially if you feed them rough greens, they'll shed a
lot less. Like you said, so, Golden Retrievers are always
a good dog. Labbadors are always a very popular dog.
Golden Doodles, believe it or not, a mix between Golden

(32:30):
Retrievers and poodle is a great dog because they're hypoallergenic,
they don't shed as much. They're not terribly smart. They
should be, but a lot of them are not terribly smart.
But they're just tons of fun for kids and family members.
They're a great companion for your family. One of my
favorite dogs for people with children though, is airedales. Airdales

(32:54):
are a phenomenal dot dogs. They're in the terrier family. Yeah,
and they're just great, beautiful dogs and they're great for
people with children. As a matter of fact, back in
the previous century, early nineteen hundreds of people used to
get Airdales as family pets, and they would put the
baby on a blanket out in the yard, in the

(33:15):
front yard, and put the Airdale out there with them
to babysit. And the Airdale would keep the baby on
the blanket, oh, not let anybody come anywhere near the baby.
And it was just a natural instinct that Airdales had.
And I remember reading about that many times growing up
in the fifties, reading stories about Airdales and how protective
they were for children.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I did not know, Yeah, I did not know that.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yeah, it's a great, great dog.
