Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air. To the phone
(00:31):
lines we go, Remembering Charlie Kirk. On this nine eleven,
listener writes, zar, I have a son who feels he
is a woman. He or she or whatever is upset
with me because I voted for Trump. He blames me
(00:53):
and has nothing to do with me. He and his
husband hang out with my ex wife. I had and
ask my ex wife for an affidavit for a medical
condition I experienced in two thousand and three, which may
be related to Camp Lejune's water. Instead of getting the
affidavit back from my wife, I got at least twenty
(01:13):
links to how Trump is a bad man, a rapist,
a thief. So much it was a sickening dose of TDS. Still,
no affidavis, no affid, no affidavit. I'll do without my
pause is. I have my own nut jobs to worry over.
I'll have to keep an eye out. The ex wife
(01:34):
a wacko child. I'm sorry, the ex wife a wacko.
My gender dysphorious son's husband is paranoid, believes people are
out to get them, People like Charlie Kirk, help us
see those undercover crazies, and he sent a message to
them that they refused to hear. By their actions, I
(01:54):
take it that my vote was the deciding vote that
elected President Trump. You're welcomes are I got Trump elected?
Long live the mission and vision of Charlie Kirk. Well,
this is hitting more and more households. I didn't know
(02:16):
a single boy who wanted to be a girl when
I was growing up. Now, I'll bet you I've got
ten friends. I know a lot of people, but still
who have a child going through this. Oh, I've heard
all the stories. The threat, the threats of suicide, constant
(02:36):
emotional manipulation of the worst order. Threats of suicide are
constant demands for money. Insults, the worst form of insults,
the most vicious things. Accusations that the parent did this
or this or this, made up out of whole cloth
(02:58):
to wound, to hurt. Make no mistake. We are to
use Charlie's point at a turning point, but make no mistake,
this isn't going away. If you are the people coordinating this,
(03:20):
I'm sorry to hear y'all. I'm sorry y'all have to
hear this. This is going swimmingly. This is going according
to plan perfectly. If you look at how America has
been rocked over the last twenty five years, and you're
one of the people responsible for it, take a bow.
(03:43):
You're good. You are really, really good. And they are.
They are, And they've taken every scenario, every thought, every value,
every possible reaction. They've modeled it out. Well, here's the
(04:04):
group that's going to get angry and push back. Here's
the group that's going to go, oh, come on, guys,
let's not let's create an inflection point. A lot of
people will just steer clear of it because it's an
inflection point and that I don't want any drama. So
they'll sit idly by and watch this Ukrainian refugee bleed
to death right there on the floor. They won't even
get near her or acknowledge that she's a human being.
(04:25):
They will be what percentage will that be?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Where will the influence points be? I mean, when you
think about it that way. Let's go to Richard. Richard,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. I was told you
wanted to talk about Charlie Kirk's positive impact, either in
your own life or in the country.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yes, are you know?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Charlie was a extraordinary, especially like you said, for his age,
the amazing fact. And I heard him live when my
son was a freshman at sam Houston State University in
twenty nineteen. My son, where do em go? But I went? Anyways,
I said, well, I'm going. You want to go with me?
You know I encourage that you should. I almost wanted
(05:13):
to make him. My wife didn't like that, but anyways, anyways,
his Christian worldview and the way he expressed it, the
way he was open to let them, let the young people,
the young college students who have been doctrinated, being indoctrinated,
he listened to them. He did very well. The way
he conducted himself and his studying, how he studied three
(05:38):
things in his Bible and Christian worldview. His the economics.
He could debate economics with any professor better than he
knew more about economics than any professor. I've listened to
him the whole time for almost everything he's ever done.
And he could express the Christian worldview versus a humanistic
worldview is good. You know, I went to seminary and
(06:01):
Bible college.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He did it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
He did it better than most all uh, seminary professors
and Christian philosophers that I've ever heard. That's what the
amazing thing is. He was, you know, just incredible and
this and this this, like you just said, it's going
to continue. And what it is, uh, all these and
(06:23):
I know a lot of people too that that have
friends that are kids are going through this is it's
it's Satan. Well, what we got to understand is Satan
is the great one, the great deceiver. He's really good
at what he does, and he's he's using these these
people and that are leading these kids and telling them
that they you know, that they really aren't a boy
or a girl, and that you should rebect. You know
(06:45):
that your parents are terrible. This is all Satan's work.
And Charlie knew that. And Charlie. What I loved about
Charlie even more than anything, is he always said, especially
in the last four to five years, he started with
the one the most important thing is having faith in
Jesus Christ. That's my number one best advice I could
(07:05):
give any of you. He led with that, and that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So I just.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Grieving over his loss, but we ought to remember and
listen to what he said, and then do likewise, Just
like I said in scripture, do likewise.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Thank you, Richard. President Trump announcing this morning that he
will be awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
That will be a moment. One of my one of
the great sadnesses of all of this is that his
children will have little, even his oldest, if any, memories
(07:45):
of him by the time they achieved adulthood, and that's unfortunate.
There will be plenty of videos they can look at,
there will be plenty of letters written in video tributes
and from others, and her mother will do her best.
But that's that's a real tragedy. That's a sad tragedy.
(08:07):
But at least at that moment, his wife will have
the solace of knowing that his work is being recognized
in the highest possible way for an American civilian. Dammit,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Prepare for a complete meltdown with more of the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Come to the phone lines we go. But first two
stories in the news. You remember Michael Brown, the gentle
giant we were told who tried to kill Officer Darren
Wilson born in Orange, interestingly in Missouri, when Wilson was
dispatched to arrest the guy who had stolen from the
(08:54):
Little Indian Fella's convenience store, whereupon he tried to kill
the officer. The officer managed to get loose, even though
his finger got shot off when Michael Brown pulled the
trigger as he fought him, standing over, leaning into the car,
and then Michael Brown casually walked away. But you can't
(09:18):
walk away from trying to kill a cop. Now you
have to be arrested again. So the officer got out,
went to the front of the car and told him
to stop, come back, and Michael Brown wouldn't do it,
and he turned and then he decided to charge, and
when he did, Darren Wilson had to put him down
like the rabbit dog he was. Dorian Johnson was his
(09:41):
little good for nothing buddy, Michael Brown's good for nothing buddy.
He had warrants out for his arrest at the time,
if I recall correctly, and he told police when they
arrived exactly what had happened. Michael Brown had charged him
and got shot in the chest. But then the little
Black Peanut gallery around there saw this as a great
(10:02):
case they could use for their cause. And they decided
he'd been shot in the back. Of course he hadn't
autops he would prove that, but Dorian Johnson would go
on to be a little weasel throughout lying constantly. Well,
Dorian Johnson will lie no more. It has been determined
he was killed in a self defense situation involving domestic violence.
(10:27):
It appears he was beating up the person he was
living with, who promptly killed him. Popol arrived at the
scene arrested the person doing the shooting. After mandatory twenty
four hour hold, the individual was released without charges. There's
an investigation underway, but it is expected that it will
be self defense. Of other notes in the news, Oliver
North is eighty one. Last December, he lost his wife
(10:51):
of fifty six years, but he has moved through his
grief and remarried and remarry two. Fawn Hall, you're not
old enough to remember, ramon Fawn Hall. I remember one
summer watching the Iran contra hearings on TV in the
(11:11):
middle of the day, and my friends were like, you're weird, dude.
Why am I weird? Because you're watching some government stuff
all day? It was on network TV. Dude, this is
important Oliver North, Iran Contra. This is important. This is weird, dude,
change it. Forty years after the two of them rose
(11:33):
to fame, do to Iran Contra, they tied the knut.
According to friends, Fawn Hall reconnected with Olie North when
she attended the funeral for North's wife. How about that.
You can go back and look them up. You can't
quite remember all the details. Let's go to taxi Steve
in Albany, Europe.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Sir, Yes, I'm at the motor vehicles, so you're gonna
hear the speaker behind me.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's right. Go ahead, my man, I want to get
a few calls in here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I worked for door Dash and then I noticed, slowly
but surely, all the dates, the dates and time started
to disappear. But I also started to notice a rise
in people who did not speak English starting to rise too.
I believed that door dash is uh is hiring people.
(12:27):
They're taking the app, handing it around to their friends
who have cars and a GPS and are pushing let's
just call us the Indigenous Americans out of work. There's
no time on DoorDash. I can work, and I was
using it to support myself. I'm right, now I'm two
weeks away from being evicted out of my home. I
(12:49):
have no money coming in and this is all because
I can't get any work because I believe and I
allege that the people who are illegally driving and using
the door dash app are pushing it back and forth
and back and.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Forth, and I believe it. I believe it. Hang in there, Steve.
Good luck to you, brother Trent. You're up. You had
a Charlie Kirk tribute.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah, Hey, Michael, it's funny. I had Bible study and
I had a bunch of angry men last night talking
about all this, and we kind of came to the
conclusion that this is a spiritual battle and that we
have to rely on the Holy Spirit and all we
(13:36):
can do is is be courageous and love people and
be a light in this spiritual battle. And one question
for you, Probably three weeks ago, it kept coming onto
my mind to call you and ask why we don't
know more about Thomas Matthew Brooks and uh, I just
(14:00):
wonder the evil behind these assassination attempts, who they really are,
and if we'll ever get to the bottom of it.
I hope they catch this person, but I would like
you later, not today, but later to dig into that,
because I think this is all related somehow, So God
(14:22):
bless and I think we need to be courageous and
speak up and and love people.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That the torch has passed. You know, I saw a meme.
Just as Simba raised up the the young lions to
to lead the pack and rule the land, is a
picture of as Charlie Kirk as Simba, and then the
(14:49):
young conservatives of the little ones coming up. I do
think it's a good sign. I received a number of
emails from very young listeners, and some of them from
their parents, about how this ministry, how Charlie Kirk found
his purpose, and that was young people and how to
(15:10):
connect to them. But the beauty is he didn't connect
with them in a way. This is what minority outreach
of the Republican Party does. We got to get more blacks, Well,
how will we get blacks? They're not naturally prone to us. Well, hey,
what for all the positions that come open, Let's go
(15:32):
get somebody black and put in there. Even if that
somebody doesn't share our values, even that somebody's a lifelong democrat,
even if that somebody is a scoundrel, a fraudster, and
a bad person, because if we put some black people
in there, that'll make all the other black people go, oh,
we should be Republicans. So you're left with the fact
(15:54):
that the only blacks you're ever actually getting are the
people you put into office. And you turn off so
many people by saying to the person who was going
to run for that office, has worked hard for it
and has support and a career in public service, Oh no, no,
you don't get to run there because you don't check
the box right, leaving that person and everyone who knows
(16:15):
them going. But wait, I thought that's what the Democrats did. No, no,
we have to do it so we can beat the Democrats.
We have to be Democrats to beat the Democrats. Charlie
didn't do that. He didn't preach a different message. His
message would have sold it to old folksman, And that's
the beauty of he took that message to the camp.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
This is.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't know what's the name you say, Michael Beddy.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Charlene writes, are I'm currently reading the biography of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer by Eric Matexas. There are similarities between Bonheffer and
Charlie Clerk Kirk. They both love Jesus Christ more than
their lives. They cared deeply for their countries and the
evil forces that came against them. They did not keep
silent whatever the cost, because Corinthians four seventeen, for this light,
(17:10):
momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of
glory beyond all comparison. By the way, probably noticed you listen.
Last night we focused only on Charlie Kirk. Today we
will focus morning and evening only on the work of
Charlie Kirk. Tomorrow we will return to regular programming and
(17:39):
we will not stray from that. Tomorrow is our interview
on the issue of menopause. I am a believer that
you put things in their place, you do them, then
you move to the next thing. I don't skip work
when bad things happen or I'm sick. There was a
(18:03):
time and place to do your work. And when I'm
on vacation. I don't want to talk politics. That's just
my approach. You can have your own. But as of
tomorrow we will be back to our usual programming. I
think you will like it. We will do our interview.
(18:24):
I intended that to be three segments. I think it
ends up being eight with doctor Anew Davis on the
issue of women's hormones and menopause. And I don't know.
I hope some women and even men who live with
women find it useful and interesting. I guess. I guess
(18:48):
we will see to the phone lines. We go now
seven one thousand, let's go to Ralph, Ralph. You're on
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Michael Berry's Night. Spret thank you for taking my call.
I was driving down the road here just a minute ago.
And listen to come across the on the internet that
and if the house, the speaker of the House wanted
to have a moment of silence with Charlie Kirk. And
then there was a representative that wanted to have a prayer,
(19:24):
and they said that the house floor erupted in chaos
and demoscrats are screaming, No, what is wrong with these people?
What has happened to this world?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I just yeah, I got your question. Your question is
very clear. Let me let me answer that because people
don't seem to understand what I'm saying when I answered
that question, I'm plaining this very clearly.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Imagine you go to a baseball game. By the way,
the New York Yankees last night in a show of
extreme class, the New York Yankees on their well, let
me tell you what they tweeted. Before tonight's game. We
(20:10):
held a moment of silence and memorial of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk founded the youth activist group Turning Point USA and
had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a
husband and father of two children, was thirty one years old.
They put up his picture and his birth and death
(20:30):
dates on the big screen. It was beautiful. Why is
that so surprising? This is what the left does so well.
The left says, Charlie Kirk wasn't an activist, He wasn't
an advocate. He was not a person espousing views and
(20:54):
beliefs who cared deeply about his country. He was a violent,
mass murdering monster. Oh okay, Oh, we can't put Hitler
up there. We couldn't put Charlie Manson up there. Wait
who did he murder with? You don't get to debate
(21:15):
the left the arguments you make. This is the new era. See,
they didn't mind Romney and Bush, they didn't mind all
that those people they played with Karl Rove. They play
within the game. It's when you start calling it out
for what it really is. They don't like that. So
(21:37):
now you're not just stating an opinion. You're engaged in
mass violence, and you must never be spoken of. The
shocking thing about the New York Yankees putting him on
the wall was the hate they're going to get for that.
I mean, it's going to be vicious. Why should it
be vicious? We could disagree, but the idea is no,
(21:58):
we can't just disagree. You're on the side that we
must destroy. We have to silence. Nobody can do business
with you, nobody can be associated with you. Everything must
necessarily be destroyed around you to prevent in scarecrow effect,
to prevent anyone else remember seeing you, So, Ralph, Let's
(22:21):
say you go to that baseball game and Astros and
Yankees ground ball. Aaron Judge to all two, be at second,
makes a play and throws to first. It would be
rather odd for you to jump up and scream, oh
(22:42):
my god, he's grabbing the ball. Oh my god, he's
throwing it. Yeah, weirdo, that's what they do. He's on
the field to do that. He's paid to do that.
(23:03):
You came to see him do that, He's trained to
do that. He does that every day and has for
many years. He's good at doing that. The great frustration
most people have is assuming that other people are like you.
(23:25):
They're not. I just can't understand how a grown man
can rape a six year old child. What you're saying
is I would never do that. Well, understand that that
grown man who raped a six year old child is
not the only one. And it is in believing that
(23:45):
he is the only one that you allow another one
because you allow your children be around him. When parents
leave their children in the care of men who reek
of pedophilia, they practically wear the cologne, the branded Colonne,
and you think, well, what are you doing there? Oh? No,
he would never do anything. He's trustworthy and which says
(24:07):
you would never do anything. He would do everything, and
you're gonna find out he did later. When when you
watch anything, just trust me on this. When you watch
anything related to media or politics, understand that every one
of them there is playing a part. There are no
(24:31):
authentic emotions, period. End of story. I don't know why
you keep thinking he lacks me. He doesn't give a
damn about you. You're giving him money or an endorsement
or a vote. He doesn't care about you. He would
kick you off in a second. And you got to
understand that. It's when you get your emotions involved and
(24:53):
want other people to be like you. It's a lack
of a grasp of the world to recognize there are
categories of people. There's cannibals. Okay, these cannibals, they live
out on this island. You don't think you're so high
in a world? Will they eat with us? What they do?
They're cannibals. We don't know why they do it, but
we know they do it. But what we're not going
(25:15):
to do is smear ourselves with hot sauce and go
lay naked in the middle of the island. We're not
going to do that. Understand that these people are monsters,
and then tomorrow they'll be money. So don't ever if
nothing else, never let these people shock you again. Michael,
know what they are and never forget that. Charlie, what
(25:39):
advice would you give young women who've been taught to
put their careers first before even think about settling down
or having kids.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I always get in trouble, no matter how I answer
this question, Laura said, here Coast, look, I'll say this
is that having children is more important than having a
good career.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I have two kids.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I also have an amazingly blessed career. Our podcast is
doing great, but my kids matter way more than how
many social media followers that I have. And I would
also tell young ladies you can always go back to
your career later, that there is a window where you
primarily should pursue marriage and having children, and that is
a beautiful thing. This is not about shaming, it's not
about ridiculing, it's not about moralizing. It's about lifting up
(26:16):
what is beautiful. And by the way, when we look
at the mental health data, young women are not okay.
Half that is right, half of liberal white women say
that they have some form of mental health issue that
has been diagnosed by a doctor. What is the number
one thing that mental health professionals will tell you when
it comes to mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Loneliness does not help.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So maybe we should solve the loneliest epidemic by encouraging
young ladies to get married and have children. It's good
for them, it's good for America, and it's good for
a future.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief
so many Americans at the heinus of Charlie Kirk. I
felt Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion
of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.
(27:12):
Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Eric and his
beautiful children.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Fantastic people they are.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
We miss him greatly. Yet I have no doubt that
Charlie's voice and the courage he put into the hearts.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
Of countless people, especially young people, will live on. I'm
pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie
Kirk posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The date of
the ceremony will be announced, and I can only guarantee
you one thing that we will have a very big crowd,
(27:49):
very very big.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If you're on hold, I will get to you, and
if I don't get to you before the end of
the hour, pain tight will record for the evening show.
If you are still on hold, we will talk to you.
Just stay right there. I promise it will be just
a moment. I wanted to read something that Sandy Peterson
sent me earlier this morning. She said, you're talking about
(28:19):
words as violence and how the left has managed to
make words into violence and that way you're violent, and
once you're violent, we can do anything to you we want,
including violence, because you said words with which we disagree.
She said this. The concept started to percolate up in
(28:41):
the culture in the nineties, beginning with the infectious politically
correct speech codes based on the idea that words could
create a climate of harm and introduction of critical race
theory as both a pedagogical methodology and academic discipline. However,
(29:05):
it may have been breathed into life when Tony Morrison
gave her Nobel Prize speech in ninety three. In it,
she said, oppressive language does more than represent violence. This
is in line with what the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration suggested at the time that tele communications could foster
(29:28):
a climate of hate, indirectly encouraging violence. The idea of
climate shifted the focus away from speech that could directly
incite fighting words to psychological effects of speech my feelings.
(29:48):
It goes without saying that with the election of Barack
Obama and eight, the speech is violence idea gained significant traction,
especially on college campuses, or as Rush Limbaugh said, can't buy. So,
so when you make it the case that whatever words
you keep speaking cause a person so much anger, frustration, confusion, backlash,
(30:21):
you must be stopped from saying that that person's emotions
are on deaf com five death con five levels. And
you can't speak any more about transgender only they can
because it's so upset into them. You can't speak any
more on race, you can't speak anymore on deportation, you
can't speak anymore on climate change, because when you do,
(30:44):
it makes them so upset that there's going to be violence.
So you've been warned. If you suggest that little boys
not have their waders cut off at four years old,
you are causing violence. You see the connection there, You
see you see how the syllogism works. All right, to
the phone lines we go, And if I don't get
(31:04):
to you hanging tied, I will Let's see. Let's go
to Cindy. Cindy, you were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Hello, I am barely a boomer. And my question is
is this the way people felt when JFK was assassinated,
When Robert Kennedy was assassinated, when Martin Luther King was assassinated.
I realized Charlie Kirk wasn't a president that his impact
(31:37):
on the Christian world and the political world was great.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Well, MLK wasn't a president. ORFK wasn't a president, So
in that sense, I think they're they're very different. I
think the better comparison is MLK because MLKA was a
leader of a movement. Literally, I mean there was an
organization and then there was his speech giving you know,
(32:13):
the nineteen sixty three what came to be known is
the I Have a Dream speech on at the Washington Mall.
But there were a number of other occasions. There was
the actual organization, Southern Leadership Conference and SNICK and all
of those organizations that were kind of coming together, and
(32:33):
there were a lot of people feeding off of the
energy he was creating. I also think it's important to
remember that a lot of the work that gets done
when Charlie would have said this is not done by
Charlie or Martin Luther King Jr. A lot of the
work that has to be done in a movement is
done by other people. But what you need, this is
(32:56):
very important, is you need a focal point. You need
a spokesmodel, you need a Sonny Sweeney, you need a
Steve Jobs. You need an Elon Musk, you need someone
that people can focus on. That's why on any given
Sunday of the NFL promos, they'll say, Josh Allen against
(33:22):
Lamar Jackson, Well, what about the other twenty one players?
Really more than that, special teams and kickers, they're not
in this. Well, we need something to focus on, We
need a new What you have to be is that
focal point that people can look to, and Charlie was
(33:43):
great for that. He brought energy into the room. And
the thing that is very important to remember of Charlie
he was passionate, he was committed, but he was kind,
he was patient, he was nothing short of that. In
every engagement with people, you're on whole old hang tat.
I'm coming to you right now,
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air. To the phone
(00:31):
lines we go, Remembering Charlie Kirk. On this nine eleven,
listener writes, zar, I have a son who feels he
is a woman. He or she or whatever is upset
with me because I voted for Trump. He blames me
(00:53):
and has nothing to do with me. He and his
husband hang out with my ex wife. I had and
ask my ex wife for an affidavit for a medical
condition I experienced in two thousand and three, which may
be related to Camp Lejune's water. Instead of getting the
affidavit back from my wife, I got at least twenty
(01:13):
links to how Trump is a bad man, a rapist,
a thief. So much it was a sickening dose of TDS. Still,
no affidavis, no affid, no affidavit. I'll do without my
pause is. I have my own nut jobs to worry over.
I'll have to keep an eye out. The ex wife
(01:34):
a wacko child. I'm sorry, the ex wife a wacko.
My gender dysphorious son's husband is paranoid, believes people are
out to get them, People like Charlie Kirk, help us
see those undercover crazies, and he sent a message to
them that they refused to hear. By their actions, I
(01:54):
take it that my vote was the deciding vote that
elected President Trump. You're welcomes are I got Trump elected?
Long live the mission and vision of Charlie Kirk. Well,
this is hitting more and more households. I didn't know
(02:16):
a single boy who wanted to be a girl when
I was growing up. Now, I'll bet you I've got
ten friends. I know a lot of people, but still
who have a child going through this. Oh, I've heard
all the stories. The threat, the threats of suicide, constant
(02:36):
emotional manipulation of the worst order. Threats of suicide are
constant demands for money. Insults, the worst form of insults,
the most vicious things. Accusations that the parent did this
or this or this, made up out of whole cloth
(02:58):
to wound, to hurt. Make no mistake. We are to
use Charlie's point at a turning point, but make no mistake,
this isn't going away. If you are the people coordinating this,
(03:20):
I'm sorry to hear y'all. I'm sorry y'all have to
hear this. This is going swimmingly. This is going according
to plan perfectly. If you look at how America has
been rocked over the last twenty five years, and you're
one of the people responsible for it, take a bow.
(03:43):
You're good. You are really, really good. And they are.
They are, And they've taken every scenario, every thought, every value,
every possible reaction. They've modeled it out. Well, here's the
(04:04):
group that's going to get angry and push back. Here's
the group that's going to go, oh, come on, guys,
let's not let's create an inflection point. A lot of
people will just steer clear of it because it's an
inflection point and that I don't want any drama. So
they'll sit idly by and watch this Ukrainian refugee bleed
to death right there on the floor. They won't even
get near her or acknowledge that she's a human being.
(04:25):
They will be what percentage will that be?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Where will the influence points be? I mean, when you
think about it that way. Let's go to Richard. Richard,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. I was told you
wanted to talk about Charlie Kirk's positive impact, either in
your own life or in the country.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yes, are you know?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Charlie was a extraordinary, especially like you said, for his age,
the amazing fact. And I heard him live when my
son was a freshman at sam Houston State University in
twenty nineteen. My son, where do em go? But I went? Anyways,
I said, well, I'm going. You want to go with me?
You know I encourage that you should. I almost wanted
(05:13):
to make him. My wife didn't like that, but anyways, anyways,
his Christian worldview and the way he expressed it, the
way he was open to let them, let the young people,
the young college students who have been doctrinated, being indoctrinated,
he listened to them. He did very well. The way
he conducted himself and his studying, how he studied three
(05:38):
things in his Bible and Christian worldview. His the economics.
He could debate economics with any professor better than he
knew more about economics than any professor. I've listened to
him the whole time for almost everything he's ever done.
And he could express the Christian worldview versus a humanistic
worldview is good. You know, I went to seminary and
(06:01):
Bible college.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He did it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
He did it better than most all uh, seminary professors
and Christian philosophers that I've ever heard. That's what the
amazing thing is. He was, you know, just incredible and
this and this this, like you just said, it's going
to continue. And what it is, uh, all these and
(06:23):
I know a lot of people too that that have
friends that are kids are going through this is it's
it's Satan. Well, what we got to understand is Satan
is the great one, the great deceiver. He's really good
at what he does, and he's he's using these these
people and that are leading these kids and telling them
that they you know, that they really aren't a boy
or a girl, and that you should rebect. You know
(06:45):
that your parents are terrible. This is all Satan's work.
And Charlie knew that. And Charlie. What I loved about
Charlie even more than anything, is he always said, especially
in the last four to five years, he started with
the one the most important thing is having faith in
Jesus Christ. That's my number one best advice I could
(07:05):
give any of you. He led with that, and that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So I just.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Grieving over his loss, but we ought to remember and
listen to what he said, and then do likewise, Just
like I said in scripture, do likewise.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Thank you, Richard. President Trump announcing this morning that he
will be awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
That will be a moment. One of my one of
the great sadnesses of all of this is that his
children will have little, even his oldest, if any, memories
(07:45):
of him by the time they achieved adulthood, and that's unfortunate.
There will be plenty of videos they can look at,
there will be plenty of letters written in video tributes
and from others, and her mother will do her best.
But that's that's a real tragedy. That's a sad tragedy.
(08:07):
But at least at that moment, his wife will have
the solace of knowing that his work is being recognized
in the highest possible way for an American civilian. Dammit,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Prepare for a complete meltdown with more of the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Come to the phone lines we go. But first two
stories in the news. You remember Michael Brown, the gentle
giant we were told who tried to kill Officer Darren
Wilson born in Orange, interestingly in Missouri, when Wilson was
dispatched to arrest the guy who had stolen from the
(08:54):
Little Indian Fella's convenience store, whereupon he tried to kill
the officer. The officer managed to get loose, even though
his finger got shot off when Michael Brown pulled the
trigger as he fought him, standing over, leaning into the car,
and then Michael Brown casually walked away. But you can't
(09:18):
walk away from trying to kill a cop. Now you
have to be arrested again. So the officer got out,
went to the front of the car and told him
to stop, come back, and Michael Brown wouldn't do it,
and he turned and then he decided to charge, and
when he did, Darren Wilson had to put him down
like the rabbit dog he was. Dorian Johnson was his
(09:41):
little good for nothing buddy, Michael Brown's good for nothing buddy.
He had warrants out for his arrest at the time,
if I recall correctly, and he told police when they
arrived exactly what had happened. Michael Brown had charged him
and got shot in the chest. But then the little
Black Peanut gallery around there saw this as a great
(10:02):
case they could use for their cause. And they decided
he'd been shot in the back. Of course he hadn't
autops he would prove that, but Dorian Johnson would go
on to be a little weasel throughout lying constantly. Well,
Dorian Johnson will lie no more. It has been determined
he was killed in a self defense situation involving domestic violence.
(10:27):
It appears he was beating up the person he was
living with, who promptly killed him. Popol arrived at the
scene arrested the person doing the shooting. After mandatory twenty
four hour hold, the individual was released without charges. There's
an investigation underway, but it is expected that it will
be self defense. Of other notes in the news, Oliver
North is eighty one. Last December, he lost his wife
(10:51):
of fifty six years, but he has moved through his
grief and remarried and remarry two. Fawn Hall, you're not
old enough to remember, ramon Fawn Hall. I remember one
summer watching the Iran contra hearings on TV in the
(11:11):
middle of the day, and my friends were like, you're weird, dude.
Why am I weird? Because you're watching some government stuff
all day? It was on network TV. Dude, this is
important Oliver North, Iran Contra. This is important. This is weird, dude,
change it. Forty years after the two of them rose
(11:33):
to fame, do to Iran Contra, they tied the knut.
According to friends, Fawn Hall reconnected with Olie North when
she attended the funeral for North's wife. How about that.
You can go back and look them up. You can't
quite remember all the details. Let's go to taxi Steve
in Albany, Europe.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Sir, Yes, I'm at the motor vehicles, so you're gonna
hear the speaker behind me.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's right. Go ahead, my man, I want to get
a few calls in here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I worked for door Dash and then I noticed, slowly
but surely, all the dates, the dates and time started
to disappear. But I also started to notice a rise
in people who did not speak English starting to rise too.
I believed that door dash is uh is hiring people.
(12:27):
They're taking the app, handing it around to their friends
who have cars and a GPS and are pushing let's
just call us the Indigenous Americans out of work. There's
no time on DoorDash. I can work, and I was
using it to support myself. I'm right, now I'm two
weeks away from being evicted out of my home. I
(12:49):
have no money coming in and this is all because
I can't get any work because I believe and I
allege that the people who are illegally driving and using
the door dash app are pushing it back and forth
and back and.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Forth, and I believe it. I believe it. Hang in there, Steve.
Good luck to you, brother Trent. You're up. You had
a Charlie Kirk tribute.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah, Hey, Michael, it's funny. I had Bible study and
I had a bunch of angry men last night talking
about all this, and we kind of came to the
conclusion that this is a spiritual battle and that we
have to rely on the Holy Spirit and all we
(13:36):
can do is is be courageous and love people and
be a light in this spiritual battle. And one question
for you, Probably three weeks ago, it kept coming onto
my mind to call you and ask why we don't
know more about Thomas Matthew Brooks and uh, I just
(14:00):
wonder the evil behind these assassination attempts, who they really are,
and if we'll ever get to the bottom of it.
I hope they catch this person, but I would like
you later, not today, but later to dig into that,
because I think this is all related somehow, So God
(14:22):
bless and I think we need to be courageous and
speak up and and love people.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That the torch has passed. You know, I saw a meme.
Just as Simba raised up the the young lions to
to lead the pack and rule the land, is a
picture of as Charlie Kirk as Simba, and then the
(14:49):
young conservatives of the little ones coming up. I do
think it's a good sign. I received a number of
emails from very young listeners, and some of them from
their parents, about how this ministry, how Charlie Kirk found
his purpose, and that was young people and how to
(15:10):
connect to them. But the beauty is he didn't connect
with them in a way. This is what minority outreach
of the Republican Party does. We got to get more blacks, Well,
how will we get blacks? They're not naturally prone to us. Well, hey,
what for all the positions that come open, Let's go
(15:32):
get somebody black and put in there. Even if that
somebody doesn't share our values, even that somebody's a lifelong democrat,
even if that somebody is a scoundrel, a fraudster, and
a bad person, because if we put some black people
in there, that'll make all the other black people go, oh,
we should be Republicans. So you're left with the fact
(15:54):
that the only blacks you're ever actually getting are the
people you put into office. And you turn off so
many people by saying to the person who was going
to run for that office, has worked hard for it
and has support and a career in public service, Oh no, no,
you don't get to run there because you don't check
the box right, leaving that person and everyone who knows
(16:15):
them going. But wait, I thought that's what the Democrats did. No, no,
we have to do it so we can beat the Democrats.
We have to be Democrats to beat the Democrats. Charlie
didn't do that. He didn't preach a different message. His
message would have sold it to old folksman, And that's
the beauty of he took that message to the camp.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
This is.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I don't know what's the name you say, Michael Beddy.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Charlene writes, are I'm currently reading the biography of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer by Eric Matexas. There are similarities between Bonheffer and
Charlie Clerk Kirk. They both love Jesus Christ more than
their lives. They cared deeply for their countries and the
evil forces that came against them. They did not keep
silent whatever the cost, because Corinthians four seventeen, for this light,
(17:10):
momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of
glory beyond all comparison. By the way, probably noticed you listen.
Last night we focused only on Charlie Kirk. Today we
will focus morning and evening only on the work of
Charlie Kirk. Tomorrow we will return to regular programming and
(17:39):
we will not stray from that. Tomorrow is our interview
on the issue of menopause. I am a believer that
you put things in their place, you do them, then
you move to the next thing. I don't skip work
when bad things happen or I'm sick. There was a
(18:03):
time and place to do your work. And when I'm
on vacation. I don't want to talk politics. That's just
my approach. You can have your own. But as of
tomorrow we will be back to our usual programming. I
think you will like it. We will do our interview.
(18:24):
I intended that to be three segments. I think it
ends up being eight with doctor Anew Davis on the
issue of women's hormones and menopause. And I don't know.
I hope some women and even men who live with
women find it useful and interesting. I guess. I guess
(18:48):
we will see to the phone lines. We go now
seven one thousand, let's go to Ralph, Ralph. You're on
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Michael Berry's Night. Spret thank you for taking my call.
I was driving down the road here just a minute ago.
And listen to come across the on the internet that
and if the house, the speaker of the House wanted
to have a moment of silence with Charlie Kirk. And
then there was a representative that wanted to have a prayer,
(19:24):
and they said that the house floor erupted in chaos
and demoscrats are screaming, No, what is wrong with these people?
What has happened to this world?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I just yeah, I got your question. Your question is
very clear. Let me let me answer that because people
don't seem to understand what I'm saying when I answered
that question, I'm plaining this very clearly.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Imagine you go to a baseball game. By the way,
the New York Yankees last night in a show of
extreme class, the New York Yankees on their well, let
me tell you what they tweeted. Before tonight's game. We
(20:10):
held a moment of silence and memorial of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk founded the youth activist group Turning Point USA and
had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a
husband and father of two children, was thirty one years old.
They put up his picture and his birth and death
(20:30):
dates on the big screen. It was beautiful. Why is
that so surprising? This is what the left does so well.
The left says, Charlie Kirk wasn't an activist, He wasn't
an advocate. He was not a person espousing views and
(20:54):
beliefs who cared deeply about his country. He was a violent,
mass murdering monster. Oh okay, Oh, we can't put Hitler
up there. We couldn't put Charlie Manson up there. Wait
who did he murder with? You don't get to debate
(21:15):
the left the arguments you make. This is the new era. See,
they didn't mind Romney and Bush, they didn't mind all
that those people they played with Karl Rove. They play
within the game. It's when you start calling it out
for what it really is. They don't like that. So
(21:37):
now you're not just stating an opinion. You're engaged in
mass violence, and you must never be spoken of. The
shocking thing about the New York Yankees putting him on
the wall was the hate they're going to get for that.
I mean, it's going to be vicious. Why should it
be vicious? We could disagree, but the idea is no,
(21:58):
we can't just disagree. You're on the side that we
must destroy. We have to silence. Nobody can do business
with you, nobody can be associated with you. Everything must
necessarily be destroyed around you to prevent in scarecrow effect,
to prevent anyone else remember seeing you, So, Ralph, Let's
(22:21):
say you go to that baseball game and Astros and
Yankees ground ball. Aaron Judge to all two, be at second,
makes a play and throws to first. It would be
rather odd for you to jump up and scream, oh
(22:42):
my god, he's grabbing the ball. Oh my god, he's
throwing it. Yeah, weirdo, that's what they do. He's on
the field to do that. He's paid to do that.
(23:03):
You came to see him do that, He's trained to
do that. He does that every day and has for
many years. He's good at doing that. The great frustration
most people have is assuming that other people are like you.
(23:25):
They're not. I just can't understand how a grown man
can rape a six year old child. What you're saying
is I would never do that. Well, understand that that
grown man who raped a six year old child is
not the only one. And it is in believing that
(23:45):
he is the only one that you allow another one
because you allow your children be around him. When parents
leave their children in the care of men who reek
of pedophilia, they practically wear the cologne, the branded Colonne,
and you think, well, what are you doing there? Oh? No,
he would never do anything. He's trustworthy and which says
(24:07):
you would never do anything. He would do everything, and
you're gonna find out he did later. When when you
watch anything, just trust me on this. When you watch
anything related to media or politics, understand that every one
of them there is playing a part. There are no
(24:31):
authentic emotions, period. End of story. I don't know why
you keep thinking he lacks me. He doesn't give a
damn about you. You're giving him money or an endorsement
or a vote. He doesn't care about you. He would
kick you off in a second. And you got to
understand that. It's when you get your emotions involved and
(24:53):
want other people to be like you. It's a lack
of a grasp of the world to recognize there are
categories of people. There's cannibals. Okay, these cannibals, they live
out on this island. You don't think you're so high
in a world? Will they eat with us? What they do?
They're cannibals. We don't know why they do it, but
we know they do it. But what we're not going
(25:15):
to do is smear ourselves with hot sauce and go
lay naked in the middle of the island. We're not
going to do that. Understand that these people are monsters,
and then tomorrow they'll be money. So don't ever if
nothing else, never let these people shock you again. Michael,
know what they are and never forget that. Charlie, what
(25:39):
advice would you give young women who've been taught to
put their careers first before even think about settling down
or having kids.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I always get in trouble, no matter how I answer
this question, Laura said, here Coast, look, I'll say this
is that having children is more important than having a
good career.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I have two kids.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
I also have an amazingly blessed career. Our podcast is
doing great, but my kids matter way more than how
many social media followers that I have. And I would
also tell young ladies you can always go back to
your career later, that there is a window where you
primarily should pursue marriage and having children, and that is
a beautiful thing. This is not about shaming, it's not
about ridiculing, it's not about moralizing. It's about lifting up
(26:16):
what is beautiful. And by the way, when we look
at the mental health data, young women are not okay.
Half that is right, half of liberal white women say
that they have some form of mental health issue that
has been diagnosed by a doctor. What is the number
one thing that mental health professionals will tell you when
it comes to mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Loneliness does not help.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So maybe we should solve the loneliest epidemic by encouraging
young ladies to get married and have children. It's good
for them, it's good for America, and it's good for
a future.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
Before we begin, let me express the horror and grief
so many Americans at the heinus of Charlie Kirk. I
felt Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion
of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.
(27:12):
Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Eric and his
beautiful children.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Fantastic people they are.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
We miss him greatly. Yet I have no doubt that
Charlie's voice and the courage he put into the hearts.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
Of countless people, especially young people, will live on. I'm
pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie
Kirk posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The date of
the ceremony will be announced, and I can only guarantee
you one thing that we will have a very big crowd,
(27:49):
very very big.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
If you're on hold, I will get to you, and
if I don't get to you before the end of
the hour, pain tight will record for the evening show.
If you are still on hold, we will talk to you.
Just stay right there. I promise it will be just
a moment. I wanted to read something that Sandy Peterson
sent me earlier this morning. She said, you're talking about
(28:19):
words as violence and how the left has managed to
make words into violence and that way you're violent, and
once you're violent, we can do anything to you we want,
including violence, because you said words with which we disagree.
She said this. The concept started to percolate up in
(28:41):
the culture in the nineties, beginning with the infectious politically
correct speech codes based on the idea that words could
create a climate of harm and introduction of critical race
theory as both a pedagogical methodology and academic discipline. However,
(29:05):
it may have been breathed into life when Tony Morrison
gave her Nobel Prize speech in ninety three. In it,
she said, oppressive language does more than represent violence. This
is in line with what the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration suggested at the time that tele communications could foster
(29:28):
a climate of hate, indirectly encouraging violence. The idea of
climate shifted the focus away from speech that could directly
incite fighting words to psychological effects of speech my feelings.
(29:48):
It goes without saying that with the election of Barack
Obama and eight, the speech is violence idea gained significant traction,
especially on college campuses, or as Rush Limbaugh said, can't buy. So,
so when you make it the case that whatever words
you keep speaking cause a person so much anger, frustration, confusion, backlash,
(30:21):
you must be stopped from saying that that person's emotions
are on deaf com five death con five levels. And
you can't speak any more about transgender only they can
because it's so upset into them. You can't speak any
more on race, you can't speak anymore on deportation, you
can't speak anymore on climate change, because when you do,
(30:44):
it makes them so upset that there's going to be violence.
So you've been warned. If you suggest that little boys
not have their waders cut off at four years old,
you are causing violence. You see the connection there, You
see you see how the syllogism works. All right, to
the phone lines we go, And if I don't get
(31:04):
to you hanging tied, I will Let's see. Let's go
to Cindy. Cindy, you were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Hello, I am barely a boomer. And my question is
is this the way people felt when JFK was assassinated,
When Robert Kennedy was assassinated, when Martin Luther King was assassinated.
I realized Charlie Kirk wasn't a president that his impact
(31:37):
on the Christian world and the political world was great.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Well, MLK wasn't a president. ORFK wasn't a president, So
in that sense, I think they're they're very different. I
think the better comparison is MLK because MLKA was a
leader of a movement. Literally, I mean there was an
organization and then there was his speech giving you know,
(32:13):
the nineteen sixty three what came to be known is
the I Have a Dream speech on at the Washington Mall.
But there were a number of other occasions. There was
the actual organization, Southern Leadership Conference and SNICK and all
of those organizations that were kind of coming together, and
(32:33):
there were a lot of people feeding off of the
energy he was creating. I also think it's important to
remember that a lot of the work that gets done
when Charlie would have said this is not done by
Charlie or Martin Luther King Jr. A lot of the
work that has to be done in a movement is
done by other people. But what you need, this is
(32:56):
very important, is you need a focal point. You need
a spokesmodel, you need a Sonny Sweeney, you need a
Steve Jobs. You need an Elon Musk, you need someone
that people can focus on. That's why on any given
Sunday of the NFL promos, they'll say, Josh Allen against
(33:22):
Lamar Jackson, Well, what about the other twenty one players?
Really more than that, special teams and kickers, they're not
in this. Well, we need something to focus on, We
need a new What you have to be is that
focal point that people can look to, and Charlie was
(33:43):
great for that. He brought energy into the room. And
the thing that is very important to remember of Charlie
he was passionate, he was committed, but he was kind,
he was patient, he was nothing short of that. In
every engagement with people, you're on whole old hang tat.
I'm coming to you right now,
