Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens,
and because of the crisis which is even now developing,
this radio station will remain on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Day and night. There are warnings that the US is
dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
The media is convinced that the actions of President Trump,
like executive orders and Department of Government efficiency, have created
or will soon create, a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Thousand have said that we made the constitutional crisis.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I want you to know that the crisis is here.
Constitutional crisis, grossly unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
This is a genuine constitutional crisis.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I think this is the most serious constitution crisis the
country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting
to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, you can cry your river. I did not.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Vote to elect Elmo as a Bond villain as our
president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We have to uphold the constitution.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's what we're here to do now.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Republicans have attacked us time and time again because we
model the values of diversity and inclusion. Well, that is
what America's about. Don't let us then.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Tell us we're not American.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We are of the true Americans here. America is about us.
We have to reclaim our country, USA.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
USA, USA.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Well, you can crimriv.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
This is all about taking over the government in order
to advance the interests of Elon Musk and the billionaires
at the expense of everybody else in America. It was
the big lie and the big betrayal.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
We have got to tell Elon Musk, nobody elected your ass.
Nobody up to you could get all of our private information.
Nobody told you you could be in charge of the
payments of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We have told you.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
You've made enough money off our government yourself. Elon Musk
is seizing power from the American people.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
Why you've never seen anything like this.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Trump is on a mission. I mean, he's Roger Banister
breaking the four minute mile. You're not shot, you get around.
You won't a lie.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
You want to feed on the down the steam.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You won't come.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Down, you won'ta live.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You wonta move to the sound of in your face.
You don't feel get to.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It, man, urgent, you say you can't stop can you
do this?
Speaker 9 (03:57):
You don't want?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Ironically, there's no urgency to get to the chorus here.
(04:26):
I grew up on the sporting fields. I'm not trying
to say I'm a great athlete. I'm not. But I
love sports, and as Wellington said, Waterloo was one on
the playing fields of Eton. I believe that the reason
men have a tendency to work better in teams than
women is because historically men played team sports. I think
(04:53):
the rise of women's sports is a very good thing
because it develops skills in people with which you're not born.
Being a part of a team is such an important
skill set to develop. And you see it. Let's take
(05:14):
the litle league baseball you learn you can learn a lot
of life lessons by league baseball. You will see a
kid he plays shortstop and pitches. His dad coaches, and
he's been playing since he was two. His daddy wanted
to be a pro baseball player, but didn't make it
past high school and really wasn't as good on the
(05:34):
high school team as he thought he was. That's why
he batted seven. But to hear him tell it, and
so his dad, you know, he might not have made it,
But that my boy is going to play ball pro ball.
I got news for you. The odds are if that's
really your goal, statistically speaking, you're better off moving to
a poor ghetto in Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic.
(05:57):
And just be honest, most Major League baseball players do
not come from bel Air Little League, Westbury, Little League,
post Oat Little League, Paarland Little League, although Paarland. If
you don't know the little league circuit, I don't know
how they are now. But Michael's nineteen, so seven years ago,
seven seven to ten. For those years, Pearland fielded two
(06:20):
all star teams, and god help you if they didn't
match up against each other, and at least you just
had to beat one of them, because you try to
beat those those kids. They were monsters. Those kids were
so good. You'd watch those kids in warm ups and
their coach is working that fung go bat like you
(06:41):
have never seen a coach work it. Oh, oh my goodness,
it's something to behold. And they are whipping the ball
around the horn like you've never seen twelve really, But anyway,
back to team sports, there'll be a kid who's probably
been playing ball, T ball. Coach pitch he's pitching the
whole thing, and he's the star, and he knows he's
a star. And his mama has told him he's a star.
(07:03):
And his mama's got the team. All she's got the
she's got the bedazzled version of his team, the hoofy
Foofies or whatever they are. She's all dulled up because
this is her time and her boy's going to be
playing pro baseball. He's already taller than Jose Tub and
he's a star, and all the other parents tell her
he's a star. And then you got to You got
the kid who's parents are from India and they're both engineers,
(07:25):
and they thought it'd be a nice idea if Rajesh
played baseball. So Rajesh shows up on day one for tryouts.
He's the last, the last round pick, and somebody had
to take him, and you got Rajesh. And sure, he's
the top kid in the class. And he won a
spelling bee in the Math Award and the English Award
(07:47):
and the Science Award. But he'd rather be playing soccer
because at least then if you're kicking the ball, nobody
notices you're a goofball. You can just kind of find
ways to like Techmo bowl, you just somehow your player
never gets near the ball. But not baseball, brother, because
even if the ball never comes to you out in
right field, and it will eventually, you still got a bat.
And that poor kid's going up there and he's banging
(08:08):
at the plate as a swing and closing his eyes.
There's no chance he's gonna hit it. But but that
kid that plays shortstop, we didn't get nothing. The hard
time to Michael Berry Show, it's a damn shame. It's
a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
The Batten news, the wall is over every body news.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
The good Guy's lost everybodys Don Henley should focus on
writing great songs. He good at that, singing odd enough,
he's good at that and banging on the drums and
hot girls. And he needs to really kind of steer
clear of suing everybody claiming everybody's ripped off his songs,
(08:55):
because that's making him more like a crazy old fool.
Probert Jr. Is at fifty votes, and fifty is the
magic number of friends. Because, as you remember, even if
every vote again, even if all senators vote and some
of these senators don't want to cast a vote because
(09:16):
they're in a blue state, like a Fetterman. Betterman doesn't
want to vote for him, but he doesn't want to
vote against him. I don't know how he's voted. Oh,
we've got it, We've got fifty one.
Speaker 10 (09:25):
Anyway, Betterman voted against.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I can imagine Feedterman voting no entire back. Okay, Frankenstein.
So Robert F. Kennedy Junior has passed. What a whacky
world we live in. Robert F. Kennedy, who's whose father?
(10:04):
Oh we're doing celebrate with every new nominee that passes.
I like this. I like this a lot times. Whose
father was Democrat Royalty the attorney general under John F. Kennedy,
John F. Kennedy, the most legendary Democrat of all time.
Help a lot of Republicans like Jennifer. It's crazy. Here's
(10:30):
Robert F. Kennedy, this guy who's spent his entire career
suing for environmental claims, which all all the tort reformed
folks would hate. And here's a guy who takes phenomenal
care of himself. He's had some real health scares, obviously.
(10:53):
His his voice is wrecked because his vocal cords are
severely damaged. They're actually cords, they're actually folds, not chords.
But whatever, and missus shaheen, No, we got one vote left. Okay,
we're almost, sir, we're gonna breaking new show remon it's
very out of character for us. Nine nine votes are in.
(11:15):
There's eight seconds left and we've got the ball and
then they're just gonna kneel it down. We've won this
through my still goal.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
So bring your good times and you'll live there too.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
We gonna sell it. Well, I'm not gonna wait you
come on that.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
So Rod F.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Kennedy Junior, this guy with an agenda of making America healthy. Again,
I've said this before, but this is a good reminder.
There are people who run for president. In fact, most
of them who run for president for a benefit other
than being president. They have zero chance to ever be elected,
(11:53):
and they know it, and people will go, yeah, why
he running and he can't win? He just did. Robert F.
Kennedy would not be the HHS secretary had he not
run for president. He wouldn't be taken seriously, running for
president gives you gravitas having been a presidential candidate gives
you gravitas. It does, and it also elevates you. You know,
(12:19):
the Lincoln model of taking your presidential candidate fellow contenders
and making them your cabinet. That has been. Guys who
run for president are more likely to be chosen as
a vice presidential running mate. It increases your likelihood. That's
(12:43):
how Joe Biden became Obama's guy. Guys who run for
president have more stature on the board seat circuit. You're
more likely to get to serve on the board of
Craft Johnson, Johnson or Ford or whatever else. And it's
also you also you sell more books afterwards. Former presidential
(13:05):
candidate so and so. Look at Mike Huckaby. Huckaby was
just the governor of Arkansas who you never would have known.
But the huck starts running for office, he ends up
with with a TV show. His daughter is now the
governor of Arkansas and by the way, by all accounts,
doing a wonderful job. We got some friends nothing I
(13:26):
would nothing was just talking to him yesterday and she
forwarded an email. We got some friends that lived in Austin,
and we called on him to look after Michael t
when he started college. Just you know, just so he
had somebody there and they were two weeks from moving
to I said, Bentonville wasn't Little Rock, it was Uh,
(13:48):
he's Bentonville. And she's very outdoorsy. And he's outdoorsy too,
and like we really out Granola outdoors. They Austin's perfect
for them. Like Ben Oh, okay, I didn't see you
in Benville. You don't know what's going on in Bennville.
She starts sending me all these articles and nothing. I
read them like I had no Benonville is having a resurgence. Well,
(14:12):
I guess you had to surge first to have a resurgence.
It's having a surgeons. It's incredible. You just dropped ten pounds. Oh,
now that he's in, you're already healthier again. Wow, this
is having an amazing effect on you. What's your blood sugar?
One oh six? Very good? Guess he's having a great
impact on you. You know, I don't want anybody preaching
(14:33):
it me. This is the difference between Michelle Obama and
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Michelle Obama was dictating to kids
that they couldn't eat anything good. Hey see if you
can find that that Michelle Obama and Simon Biles. Simon
Biles is the toast of the nation, just come back
from the Olympics, and she's on maybe Letterman or one
(14:55):
of the shows, and Michelle Obama's there and the question is,
you know, you know, what do you most want to
do now? She's like, have a big mag's Oh no,
that's terrible. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to be preached
that and lectured by the way, you big heifer. Who
are you to be preaching the people what they ought
to be eating? Live the way you act? I mean,
(15:16):
you know there's something about if your doctor is out
back of the medical clinic as you're getting in your
car and he's scarfing down long darts, you're gonna wait,
didn't you just tell me I shouldn't smoke? And you're wait,
what you know? You you should kind of be I
think Petrow arrives early to my workout, the Beauty of
(15:36):
petrou In on fitness as they come to your house.
And I'll just be honest, the more hurdles you put
in between me doing something that is hard, the less
likely I'm going to do it. And you're probably the same.
So A number one as they come to your house. Well,
he's got all the codes, every different gate. We got
a whole system. It's over the top. And he's in
(15:57):
my gym, which is to converted garage when I downstairs
and he's down there, and he's lifting amounts of weight
that I could never touch because he's got big old arms.
And I'm convinced he does it to give himself credibility
because then he and he drops it way down a
little bitty wait for me, and you know, but he's
got his arms all jacked up. You know, you expect
people that are that are helping you with your health
(16:17):
to look like health like I had a fine box
and Michael Barry in the due time after time afterne
my sentence, win with every single facet. We're gonna win
(16:42):
so much.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
You may even get tired of winning.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And you'll say, please, please, it's too much winning. We
can't take it anymore, mister.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
President, it's too much, and I'll say, no, it isn't.
We have to keep winning. We have to win more.
We're gonna win more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
My friend, Oh, this is glorious.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I get an email from a fellow zar. Guess he
thinks I'm Russian because he spelled it T s A R.
There could be a nice dent put in the national debt.
If Big Don televised the execution of America's domestic enemies
and traders monetized with a pay per view firewall, I'll
(17:50):
bet people would drop some serious fiat paper to water
the liberty tree. You remember the phrase by TJ if
I remember it, the tree of liberty must be refreshed
from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
(18:15):
It is its natural manure. Now that's it. I swear
to you that's the phrase. That's the freek Huh. They
don't give you that one because it's kind of like
my first year of contracts law at ut Law School
fall of nineteen ninety three, and Professor Alan Scott Raw
(18:38):
said that that will have a prophylactic effect, and he
hit the prophylactic all and he said, I've been teaching
contracts for twenty years and I just wish one year
I could use the phrase prophylactic and the future lawyers
(18:59):
would not act like children. And laughed, and then we
left and we went to huts and had chili, cheese fries,
and we laughed and laughed and laughed at how we
had laughed and laughed and laughed, and much revelry was enjoyed.
And I truly believe he did that to keep us
(19:19):
engaged and interested. He wasn't really that much of a
smart That's the phrase remon the tree of liberty must
be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. That part
(19:40):
does not fit on the T shirt. That part kind
of takes away from the woo man. It is a
phrase oft quoted by revolutionary wannabes, you know, maybe a
che guevera silhouette, and that phrase the the miss appropriation
of that phrase is quite often. So let me read
(20:05):
this this fellow's email again. He said there could be
a nice dent put in the national debt at Big
Don televised the execution of America's domestic enemies and traders
monetized with a pay per view firewall. I'll bet people
would drop some serious fiat paper to water the liberty tree.
I love that he used the phrase capitalized l capitalize
(20:26):
t He knew I would know the phrase. I've used
it on the show before. And then he signs off
regards Windshield. That's really the best part of the email
because if you remember, you scroll back up and look
at his name. His name is Travis Wiper, and I
gave him the nickname Windshield because I love nicknames. One
(20:50):
of the few things in retrospect about George W. Bush
is that he gave people nicknames. I like to give
people nicknames, sometimes behind the back, and it's not flattering
sometimes to their face, because it's awesome. We name everything
in our house, and so anything that comes in, my
wife will say to me and the kids, what shall
(21:11):
we name it? And the kids have never named anything.
They have no interest in naming things. I think every
house should be named. Your cars, I name it all.
And so we got one of these things. It's like
a roomba for the pool and it's the most amazing
thing ever. And this thing goes under water somebody's electronic
gadget wirelessly controlled that you put under there. And if
(21:35):
you've had a roomba, you know how this thing works.
And it goes down there, it can float up on
the top of the water and get the leaves. But
then you got it on a cycle and it's getting ready.
It's a part of the cycle where it's going to
go from the surface. It's cleaned all the leaves and
now it's going down to clean the bottom. And before
it does, it's like you know, if you watch a
(21:56):
professional swimmer before they go in, they take a big
gasp of air, get that big gulp and go down.
It cocks itself out. I guess to get some air,
suck some air into it because it's gonna expel the air.
It's gonna kind of fart it all out and that's
what's gonna push it. And it cocks it rocks back
and probably taking in a big air pocket and then
it nose dives down. It will down to the bottom.
(22:20):
So my wife, not growing up in this country and
not being a movie buff. The next day she asked Emily, Hey,
did Michael name that water roomber or whatever it is?
And I said, yes, the name is Christopher Walking, but
his nickname is water Yeah, water Walking. Yes, you get
(22:46):
a Christopher Walking reference, you get a cool name. Yeah.
And see that didn't cost me anything, just did it
right there on the fly. So what I do. That
one's free. I'll throw that one in for free. So
you worked hard to get Donald Trump elected, and the
breakneck speed in which he is bringing change it really
(23:10):
should be an inspiration to each and every one of us.
And so my challenge to you right now is to
stop being the person standing on the sidewalk cheering as
the parade goes by, but get yourself out there in it,
get yourself on the street to be part of what
(23:31):
is happening. Well, Michael, that's nice, but I'm going to
stay at home. Mom. Okay, are you as organized as
you would like to be? You read a lot about
the health of your children. You worry about what they're
eating at school. What if you were to pack their lunch.
(23:51):
What if tomorrow alone you would to pack their lunch.
What if you were to go right, Well, I don't
have the money. He doesn't cost that much if you
do it right. What if you were to you can't
afford to throw out everything in the pantry and replace
it with all healthy items, which always costs more. Okay,
what if you start cycling it in? What if you
(24:14):
have a conversation about who Robert F. Kennedy Junior is
and what make America healthy again is and why it
matters and how what we put into our body matters,
and how when we were children and our parents were
children before that. What if you show a picture of
people on the beach and Galison, they're all over the internet.
You got an internet connection. What if you pull up
(24:35):
one of those pictures. This was Galveson in the fifties,
or this was Gallason in the sixties, and you look
at it, you can't believe it's true. Aside from the
fact that all the men are wearing a little more
than speedo's because that's how they dress. Just look how
they're built. Look how the women are built. It's you
can't believe this is true. They'll notice how big the
(24:55):
cars are and how the coloring of the photo is different.
But look at how healthy people are. But nobody talked
about being healthy. Nobody took semiglue ties, zipic or bunjar
or whatever. Nobody's on the carnivore diet. They ate food
that was better for your body. What if you just
had that conversation stay at home mom, executive of the company. Whatever,
(25:18):
What if you say, right now, you know what I'm
taking inspiration. I'm gonna do everything right now. I'm gonna
be great. In addition to being a call to immediacy.
(26:12):
Some of you remember this fat voice limb tune as
the opening to the Matt Patrick Show, with some production
elements on the top. I don't mean to brag ramon
because you know I don't, but I gave Matt Patrick
the idea for the sandbox, and he had a couple
(26:36):
of other ideas. A lot of people will ask me
for advice or for an opinion, and I am always
willing to give advice or an opinion. Unfortunately, I have
the unreasonable expectation that you take my advice and put
(26:57):
in place my opinion, because once I give it, I
have this unnatural affinity for what I've done. Like all right,
as I said, you need something that's unpretentious, almost self deprecating.
You've told me that you want this to be a
place where people feel comfortable calling in arguing with you.
(27:20):
You've told me you want to be informal. You don't
want it to feel stuffy. And he would say, you know,
when I listen to your show, I don't feel like
you're lecturing me. There are people on the radio who
do that. I don't feel like it's some guy out
there just barking at me. I feel like, it's very
interactive and I want that vibe, that feel. This wasn't
(27:42):
for the Morning News obviously because he was anchoring there,
but this was for his afternoon show on kPr C
nine fifty. And so I'm thinking it through and I
said the sandbox and he said, h okay, I've also
got this idea of this. That son of a bitch,
(28:05):
he's not going to use it. Why do people ask
my opinion? And well, he forgets to tell me he
ever used it. And I heard it a couple of
days later, and I put a hashtag up on it,
and he sent me a text and he goes, guess
you heard it. He was waiting till I heard it
(28:26):
for myself. So it made me pretty happy. Anyway. Good dude,
good dude, Sweet wife Paula. His son is going in
the Navy, wants to be a Navy seal. Jake, some
of you remember, you know, it's funny if you talk
about your family on the air, they grow up with
the community. The community invests in them. You know, that
(28:46):
becomes part of what you're what you're doing. Kimberly Laval says,
or it could be Layer says Zar. We had an
early version of a pool sweep. Back in the early seventies,
the brand was Arnesson, so we called it Arnie, but
we also called it the Professor because it was so
(29:07):
smart and knew where to go to clean h They
didn't have smart systems back then. The thing about this
goofy thing, it's only a couple of days old, is
that it has its algorithm, its machine learning, right. It's
kind of a form of AI. Is that it maps
(29:28):
out the pool, and then the first time it does it,
it's a little clunky, and you know, it's like it's
drunk or it's got this you know, neuropathy with the
with the sugars. But by the third or fourth time
it does it, it goes in there and it's like
your dog when it wants to show you that it can,
you know, drop the ball when it brings it back
like why tax And you're thinking, oo, man, that's something else.
(29:49):
I tell you what, you you're doing such a fine
job at that. I'm gonna let you do it every
day every day. And I want you to come when
you don't, when you come back right back there to
the thing, I want you to plug yourself. And then
I want you the next time I walk care here
to do it again. And when I bring my friends
over to the boys room, as you see us walking out,
kind of like the peacocks come running when they see
(30:10):
me coming and it looks good to my friends, I
want you to come running out and and I want
you to start showing off for them, yep, to just
show them a master of this house. That's exactly right.
So that is my challenge to you. You know, President
Trump using Ronald Reagan's mantra make America great again. It's
(30:31):
a call to arm arms, you know, when you really
break it down in an academic setting to what that was.
I don't like Obama, but when yes we Can was
offered to him as the campaign slogan, he rejected it.
(30:52):
Several people in the room when this happened, and they said,
that's silly, it's it's reductive, it's beneath me chant yes
we can. But the messaging people, actual Rod and the
guys who really get messaging. See, every politician thinks they
know everything about everything, but they don't. That's why they
(31:13):
make laws about medicine because they went to a doctor
one time. But they don't know what they're doing. And
it's the law of unintended consequences. But Obama says he's
not going to do it, and they pushed him, and
so he kind of tested it at some rallies, and
he noticed once he said, yes we can, Yes we can.
(31:37):
With that very staccato cadence he has. It was perfectly
suited to his delivery. I know you hate Obama. You
don't have to you tell me Obama, but I hate him.
I hate him too. But that doesn't mean that it's
not It wasn't effective. It was very effective. That was
a very powerful That was his Bill Clinton. I come
(31:59):
from a town called except his wasn't I. It wasn't
first person singular, it was first person plural. Great leaders are,
in this case great campaigners, and Obama was a great campaigner.
We cannot deny that. Know your enemy, know your enemy.
He was a very effective campaigner. He lied effectively. He
(32:22):
convinced a lot of white suburban women whose husbands voted
against his awful plans, because, as Rush said, I hope
he fails. A lot of white suburban women said, well,
he seems like a nice guy. He's one of the
good ones. And what did he do? What did he do.
He screwed people over. He lied to him effectively, That's
what propaganda does. But by making it first person plural,
(32:45):
yes we can, he wasn't asking you to elevate him
to a position where he could make hundreds of millions
of dollars and enjoy celebrity and have all the trappings
of awesomeness and maybe get to bang Jennifer Aniston, who
knows he was saying we all together. He made every
(33:08):
person in that audience feel that they were part of this.
I always found it interesting that it was pela in
Spanish instead of sepul amos. It wasn't first person single,
yes I can? Is it interesting? Wasn't talked about, but
(33:31):
it hit me the first time I heard it in Spanish.
It was pelo puelo is the first person singler, Yes
I can. So that's my challenge to you. President Trump's
doing his part to make this nation great again. A
great nation is not made up of a great capital
city with a great cabinet and a great president. Great
(33:51):
nations are made up of great people. I saw that
in Japan at Christmas, people with such pride in their
nation and themselves, their comportment, their presentation, their manners, their kindness,
they took pride, each person took responsibility for themselves. That
blew my mind. Never see anything like that. So that's
(34:12):
my challenge to you. Set an agenda one per day.
We'll pick one today, whether it's your health, your business,
your marriage, how you parent your kids. None of us
is perfect. Oh Michael, you don't understand. I got a
better fix it. Fix it today. Make that the one
thing and fix it by admitting your mistakes and committing
to be better. Make yourself great today
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens,
and because of the crisis which is even now developing,
this radio station will remain on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Day and night. There are warnings that the US is
dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
The media is convinced that the actions of President Trump,
like executive orders and Department of Government efficiency, have created
or will soon create, a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Thousand have said that we made the constitutional crisis.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I want you to know that the crisis is here.
Constitutional crisis, grossly unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
This is a genuine constitutional crisis.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I think this is the most serious constitution crisis the
country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting
to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, you can cry your river. I did not.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Vote to elect Elmo as a Bond villain as our
president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We have to uphold the constitution.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's what we're here to do now.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Republicans have attacked us time and time again because we
model the values of diversity and inclusion. Well, that is
what America's about. Don't let us then.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Tell us we're not American.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We are of the true Americans here. America is about us.
We have to reclaim our country, USA.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
USA, USA.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Well, you can crimriv.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
This is all about taking over the government in order
to advance the interests of Elon Musk and the billionaires
at the expense of everybody else in America. It was
the big lie and the big betrayal.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
We have got to tell Elon Musk, nobody elected your ass.
Nobody up to you could get all of our private information.
Nobody told you you could be in charge of the
payments of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
We have told you.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
You've made enough money off our government yourself. Elon Musk
is seizing power from the American people.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
Why you've never seen anything like this.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Trump is on a mission. I mean, he's Roger Banister
breaking the four minute mile. You're not shot, you get around.
You won't a lie.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
You want to feed on the down the steam.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You won't come.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Down, you won'ta live.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You wonta move to the sound of in your face.
You don't feel get to.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It, man, urgent, you say you can't stop can you
do this?
Speaker 9 (03:57):
You don't want?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Ironically, there's no urgency to get to the chorus here.
(04:26):
I grew up on the sporting fields. I'm not trying
to say I'm a great athlete. I'm not. But I
love sports, and as Wellington said, Waterloo was one on
the playing fields of Eton. I believe that the reason
men have a tendency to work better in teams than
women is because historically men played team sports. I think
(04:53):
the rise of women's sports is a very good thing
because it develops skills in people with which you're not born.
Being a part of a team is such an important
skill set to develop. And you see it. Let's take
(05:14):
the litle league baseball you learn you can learn a lot
of life lessons by league baseball. You will see a
kid he plays shortstop and pitches. His dad coaches, and
he's been playing since he was two. His daddy wanted
to be a pro baseball player, but didn't make it
past high school and really wasn't as good on the
(05:34):
high school team as he thought he was. That's why
he batted seven. But to hear him tell it, and
so his dad, you know, he might not have made it,
But that my boy is going to play ball pro ball.
I got news for you. The odds are if that's
really your goal, statistically speaking, you're better off moving to
a poor ghetto in Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic.
(05:57):
And just be honest, most Major League baseball players do
not come from bel Air Little League, Westbury, Little League,
post Oat Little League, Paarland Little League, although Paarland. If
you don't know the little league circuit, I don't know
how they are now. But Michael's nineteen, so seven years ago,
seven seven to ten. For those years, Pearland fielded two
(06:20):
all star teams, and god help you if they didn't
match up against each other, and at least you just
had to beat one of them, because you try to
beat those those kids. They were monsters. Those kids were
so good. You'd watch those kids in warm ups and
their coach is working that fung go bat like you
(06:41):
have never seen a coach work it. Oh, oh my goodness,
it's something to behold. And they are whipping the ball
around the horn like you've never seen twelve really, But anyway,
back to team sports, there'll be a kid who's probably
been playing ball, T ball. Coach pitch he's pitching the
whole thing, and he's the star, and he knows he's
a star. And his mama has told him he's a star.
(07:03):
And his mama's got the team. All she's got the
she's got the bedazzled version of his team, the hoofy
Foofies or whatever they are. She's all dulled up because
this is her time and her boy's going to be
playing pro baseball. He's already taller than Jose Tub and
he's a star, and all the other parents tell her
he's a star. And then you got to You got
the kid who's parents are from India and they're both engineers,
(07:25):
and they thought it'd be a nice idea if Rajesh
played baseball. So Rajesh shows up on day one for tryouts.
He's the last, the last round pick, and somebody had
to take him, and you got Rajesh. And sure, he's
the top kid in the class. And he won a
spelling bee in the Math Award and the English Award
(07:47):
and the Science Award. But he'd rather be playing soccer
because at least then if you're kicking the ball, nobody
notices you're a goofball. You can just kind of find
ways to like Techmo bowl, you just somehow your player
never gets near the ball. But not baseball, brother, because
even if the ball never comes to you out in
right field, and it will eventually, you still got a bat.
And that poor kid's going up there and he's banging
(08:08):
at the plate as a swing and closing his eyes.
There's no chance he's gonna hit it. But but that
kid that plays shortstop, we didn't get nothing. The hard
time to Michael Berry Show, it's a damn shame. It's
a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
The Batten news, the wall is over every body news.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
The good Guy's lost everybodys Don Henley should focus on
writing great songs. He good at that, singing odd enough,
he's good at that and banging on the drums and
hot girls. And he needs to really kind of steer
clear of suing everybody claiming everybody's ripped off his songs,
(08:55):
because that's making him more like a crazy old fool.
Probert Jr. Is at fifty votes, and fifty is the
magic number of friends. Because, as you remember, even if
every vote again, even if all senators vote and some
of these senators don't want to cast a vote because
(09:16):
they're in a blue state, like a Fetterman. Betterman doesn't
want to vote for him, but he doesn't want to
vote against him. I don't know how he's voted. Oh,
we've got it, We've got fifty one.
Speaker 10 (09:25):
Anyway, Betterman voted against.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I can imagine Feedterman voting no entire back. Okay, Frankenstein.
So Robert F. Kennedy Junior has passed. What a whacky
world we live in. Robert F. Kennedy, who's whose father?
(10:04):
Oh we're doing celebrate with every new nominee that passes.
I like this. I like this a lot times. Whose
father was Democrat Royalty the attorney general under John F. Kennedy,
John F. Kennedy, the most legendary Democrat of all time.
Help a lot of Republicans like Jennifer. It's crazy. Here's
(10:30):
Robert F. Kennedy, this guy who's spent his entire career
suing for environmental claims, which all all the tort reformed
folks would hate. And here's a guy who takes phenomenal
care of himself. He's had some real health scares, obviously.
(10:53):
His his voice is wrecked because his vocal cords are
severely damaged. They're actually cords, they're actually folds, not chords.
But whatever, and missus shaheen, No, we got one vote left. Okay,
we're almost, sir, we're gonna breaking new show remon it's
very out of character for us. Nine nine votes are in.
(11:15):
There's eight seconds left and we've got the ball and
then they're just gonna kneel it down. We've won this
through my still goal.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
So bring your good times and you'll live there too.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
We gonna sell it. Well, I'm not gonna wait you
come on that.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
So Rod F.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Kennedy Junior, this guy with an agenda of making America healthy. Again,
I've said this before, but this is a good reminder.
There are people who run for president. In fact, most
of them who run for president for a benefit other
than being president. They have zero chance to ever be elected,
(11:53):
and they know it, and people will go, yeah, why
he running and he can't win? He just did. Robert F.
Kennedy would not be the HHS secretary had he not
run for president. He wouldn't be taken seriously, running for
president gives you gravitas having been a presidential candidate gives
you gravitas. It does, and it also elevates you. You know,
(12:19):
the Lincoln model of taking your presidential candidate fellow contenders
and making them your cabinet. That has been. Guys who
run for president are more likely to be chosen as
a vice presidential running mate. It increases your likelihood. That's
(12:43):
how Joe Biden became Obama's guy. Guys who run for
president have more stature on the board seat circuit. You're
more likely to get to serve on the board of
Craft Johnson, Johnson or Ford or whatever else. And it's
also you also you sell more books afterwards. Former presidential
(13:05):
candidate so and so. Look at Mike Huckaby. Huckaby was
just the governor of Arkansas who you never would have known.
But the huck starts running for office, he ends up
with with a TV show. His daughter is now the
governor of Arkansas and by the way, by all accounts,
doing a wonderful job. We got some friends nothing I
(13:26):
would nothing was just talking to him yesterday and she
forwarded an email. We got some friends that lived in Austin,
and we called on him to look after Michael t
when he started college. Just you know, just so he
had somebody there and they were two weeks from moving
to I said, Bentonville wasn't Little Rock, it was Uh,
(13:48):
he's Bentonville. And she's very outdoorsy. And he's outdoorsy too,
and like we really out Granola outdoors. They Austin's perfect
for them. Like Ben Oh, okay, I didn't see you
in Benville. You don't know what's going on in Bennville.
She starts sending me all these articles and nothing. I
read them like I had no Benonville is having a resurgence. Well,
(14:12):
I guess you had to surge first to have a resurgence.
It's having a surgeons. It's incredible. You just dropped ten pounds. Oh,
now that he's in, you're already healthier again. Wow, this
is having an amazing effect on you. What's your blood sugar?
One oh six? Very good? Guess he's having a great
impact on you. You know, I don't want anybody preaching
(14:33):
it me. This is the difference between Michelle Obama and
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Michelle Obama was dictating to kids
that they couldn't eat anything good. Hey see if you
can find that that Michelle Obama and Simon Biles. Simon
Biles is the toast of the nation, just come back
from the Olympics, and she's on maybe Letterman or one
(14:55):
of the shows, and Michelle Obama's there and the question is,
you know, you know, what do you most want to
do now? She's like, have a big mag's Oh no,
that's terrible. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to be preached
that and lectured by the way, you big heifer. Who
are you to be preaching the people what they ought
to be eating? Live the way you act? I mean,
(15:16):
you know there's something about if your doctor is out
back of the medical clinic as you're getting in your
car and he's scarfing down long darts, you're gonna wait,
didn't you just tell me I shouldn't smoke? And you're wait,
what you know? You you should kind of be I
think Petrow arrives early to my workout, the Beauty of
(15:36):
petrou In on fitness as they come to your house.
And I'll just be honest, the more hurdles you put
in between me doing something that is hard, the less
likely I'm going to do it. And you're probably the same.
So A number one as they come to your house. Well,
he's got all the codes, every different gate. We got
a whole system. It's over the top. And he's in
(15:57):
my gym, which is to converted garage when I downstairs
and he's down there, and he's lifting amounts of weight
that I could never touch because he's got big old arms.
And I'm convinced he does it to give himself credibility
because then he and he drops it way down a
little bitty wait for me, and you know, but he's
got his arms all jacked up. You know, you expect
people that are that are helping you with your health
(16:17):
to look like health like I had a fine box
and Michael Barry in the due time after time afterne
my sentence, win with every single facet. We're gonna win
(16:42):
so much.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
You may even get tired of winning.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And you'll say, please, please, it's too much winning. We
can't take it anymore, mister.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
President, it's too much, and I'll say, no, it isn't.
We have to keep winning. We have to win more.
We're gonna win more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
My friend, Oh, this is glorious.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I get an email from a fellow zar. Guess he
thinks I'm Russian because he spelled it T s A R.
There could be a nice dent put in the national debt.
If Big Don televised the execution of America's domestic enemies
and traders monetized with a pay per view firewall, I'll
(17:50):
bet people would drop some serious fiat paper to water
the liberty tree. You remember the phrase by TJ if
I remember it, the tree of liberty must be refreshed
from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
(18:15):
It is its natural manure. Now that's it. I swear
to you that's the phrase. That's the freek Huh. They
don't give you that one because it's kind of like
my first year of contracts law at ut Law School
fall of nineteen ninety three, and Professor Alan Scott Raw
(18:38):
said that that will have a prophylactic effect, and he
hit the prophylactic all and he said, I've been teaching
contracts for twenty years and I just wish one year
I could use the phrase prophylactic and the future lawyers
(18:59):
would not act like children. And laughed, and then we
left and we went to huts and had chili, cheese fries,
and we laughed and laughed and laughed at how we
had laughed and laughed and laughed, and much revelry was enjoyed.
And I truly believe he did that to keep us
(19:19):
engaged and interested. He wasn't really that much of a
smart That's the phrase remon the tree of liberty must
be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. That part
(19:40):
does not fit on the T shirt. That part kind
of takes away from the woo man. It is a
phrase oft quoted by revolutionary wannabes, you know, maybe a
che guevera silhouette, and that phrase the the miss appropriation
of that phrase is quite often. So let me read
(20:05):
this this fellow's email again. He said there could be
a nice dent put in the national debt at Big
Don televised the execution of America's domestic enemies and traders
monetized with a pay per view firewall. I'll bet people
would drop some serious fiat paper to water the liberty tree.
I love that he used the phrase capitalized l capitalize
(20:26):
t He knew I would know the phrase. I've used
it on the show before. And then he signs off
regards Windshield. That's really the best part of the email
because if you remember, you scroll back up and look
at his name. His name is Travis Wiper, and I
gave him the nickname Windshield because I love nicknames. One
(20:50):
of the few things in retrospect about George W. Bush
is that he gave people nicknames. I like to give
people nicknames, sometimes behind the back, and it's not flattering
sometimes to their face, because it's awesome. We name everything
in our house, and so anything that comes in, my
wife will say to me and the kids, what shall
(21:11):
we name it? And the kids have never named anything.
They have no interest in naming things. I think every
house should be named. Your cars, I name it all.
And so we got one of these things. It's like
a roomba for the pool and it's the most amazing
thing ever. And this thing goes under water somebody's electronic
gadget wirelessly controlled that you put under there. And if
(21:35):
you've had a roomba, you know how this thing works.
And it goes down there, it can float up on
the top of the water and get the leaves. But
then you got it on a cycle and it's getting ready.
It's a part of the cycle where it's going to
go from the surface. It's cleaned all the leaves and
now it's going down to clean the bottom. And before
it does, it's like you know, if you watch a
(21:56):
professional swimmer before they go in, they take a big
gasp of air, get that big gulp and go down.
It cocks itself out. I guess to get some air,
suck some air into it because it's gonna expel the air.
It's gonna kind of fart it all out and that's
what's gonna push it. And it cocks it rocks back
and probably taking in a big air pocket and then
it nose dives down. It will down to the bottom.
(22:20):
So my wife, not growing up in this country and
not being a movie buff. The next day she asked Emily, Hey,
did Michael name that water roomber or whatever it is?
And I said, yes, the name is Christopher Walking, but
his nickname is water Yeah, water Walking. Yes, you get
(22:46):
a Christopher Walking reference, you get a cool name. Yeah.
And see that didn't cost me anything, just did it
right there on the fly. So what I do. That
one's free. I'll throw that one in for free. So
you worked hard to get Donald Trump elected, and the
breakneck speed in which he is bringing change it really
(23:10):
should be an inspiration to each and every one of us.
And so my challenge to you right now is to
stop being the person standing on the sidewalk cheering as
the parade goes by, but get yourself out there in it,
get yourself on the street to be part of what
(23:31):
is happening. Well, Michael, that's nice, but I'm going to
stay at home. Mom. Okay, are you as organized as
you would like to be? You read a lot about
the health of your children. You worry about what they're
eating at school. What if you were to pack their lunch.
(23:51):
What if tomorrow alone you would to pack their lunch.
What if you were to go right, Well, I don't
have the money. He doesn't cost that much if you
do it right. What if you were to you can't
afford to throw out everything in the pantry and replace
it with all healthy items, which always costs more. Okay,
what if you start cycling it in? What if you
(24:14):
have a conversation about who Robert F. Kennedy Junior is
and what make America healthy again is and why it
matters and how what we put into our body matters,
and how when we were children and our parents were
children before that. What if you show a picture of
people on the beach and Galison, they're all over the internet.
You got an internet connection. What if you pull up
(24:35):
one of those pictures. This was Galveson in the fifties,
or this was Gallason in the sixties, and you look
at it, you can't believe it's true. Aside from the
fact that all the men are wearing a little more
than speedo's because that's how they dress. Just look how
they're built. Look how the women are built. It's you
can't believe this is true. They'll notice how big the
(24:55):
cars are and how the coloring of the photo is different.
But look at how healthy people are. But nobody talked
about being healthy. Nobody took semiglue ties, zipic or bunjar
or whatever. Nobody's on the carnivore diet. They ate food
that was better for your body. What if you just
had that conversation stay at home mom, executive of the company. Whatever,
(25:18):
What if you say, right now, you know what I'm
taking inspiration. I'm gonna do everything right now. I'm gonna
be great. In addition to being a call to immediacy.
(26:12):
Some of you remember this fat voice limb tune as
the opening to the Matt Patrick Show, with some production
elements on the top. I don't mean to brag ramon
because you know I don't, but I gave Matt Patrick
the idea for the sandbox, and he had a couple
(26:36):
of other ideas. A lot of people will ask me
for advice or for an opinion, and I am always
willing to give advice or an opinion. Unfortunately, I have
the unreasonable expectation that you take my advice and put
(26:57):
in place my opinion, because once I give it, I
have this unnatural affinity for what I've done. Like all right,
as I said, you need something that's unpretentious, almost self deprecating.
You've told me that you want this to be a
place where people feel comfortable calling in arguing with you.
(27:20):
You've told me you want to be informal. You don't
want it to feel stuffy. And he would say, you know,
when I listen to your show, I don't feel like
you're lecturing me. There are people on the radio who
do that. I don't feel like it's some guy out
there just barking at me. I feel like, it's very
interactive and I want that vibe, that feel. This wasn't
(27:42):
for the Morning News obviously because he was anchoring there,
but this was for his afternoon show on kPr C
nine fifty. And so I'm thinking it through and I
said the sandbox and he said, h okay, I've also
got this idea of this. That son of a bitch,
(28:05):
he's not going to use it. Why do people ask
my opinion? And well, he forgets to tell me he
ever used it. And I heard it a couple of
days later, and I put a hashtag up on it,
and he sent me a text and he goes, guess
you heard it. He was waiting till I heard it
(28:26):
for myself. So it made me pretty happy. Anyway. Good dude,
good dude, Sweet wife Paula. His son is going in
the Navy, wants to be a Navy seal. Jake, some
of you remember, you know, it's funny if you talk
about your family on the air, they grow up with
the community. The community invests in them. You know, that
(28:46):
becomes part of what you're what you're doing. Kimberly Laval says,
or it could be Layer says Zar. We had an
early version of a pool sweep. Back in the early seventies,
the brand was Arnesson, so we called it Arnie, but
we also called it the Professor because it was so
(29:07):
smart and knew where to go to clean h They
didn't have smart systems back then. The thing about this
goofy thing, it's only a couple of days old, is
that it has its algorithm, its machine learning, right. It's
kind of a form of AI. Is that it maps
(29:28):
out the pool, and then the first time it does it,
it's a little clunky, and you know, it's like it's
drunk or it's got this you know, neuropathy with the
with the sugars. But by the third or fourth time
it does it, it goes in there and it's like
your dog when it wants to show you that it can,
you know, drop the ball when it brings it back
like why tax And you're thinking, oo, man, that's something else.
(29:49):
I tell you what, you you're doing such a fine
job at that. I'm gonna let you do it every
day every day. And I want you to come when
you don't, when you come back right back there to
the thing, I want you to plug yourself. And then
I want you the next time I walk care here
to do it again. And when I bring my friends
over to the boys room, as you see us walking out,
kind of like the peacocks come running when they see
(30:10):
me coming and it looks good to my friends, I
want you to come running out and and I want
you to start showing off for them, yep, to just
show them a master of this house. That's exactly right.
So that is my challenge to you. You know, President
Trump using Ronald Reagan's mantra make America great again. It's
(30:31):
a call to arm arms, you know, when you really
break it down in an academic setting to what that was.
I don't like Obama, but when yes we Can was
offered to him as the campaign slogan, he rejected it.
(30:52):
Several people in the room when this happened, and they said,
that's silly, it's it's reductive, it's beneath me chant yes
we can. But the messaging people, actual Rod and the
guys who really get messaging. See, every politician thinks they
know everything about everything, but they don't. That's why they
(31:13):
make laws about medicine because they went to a doctor
one time. But they don't know what they're doing. And
it's the law of unintended consequences. But Obama says he's
not going to do it, and they pushed him, and
so he kind of tested it at some rallies, and
he noticed once he said, yes we can, Yes we can.
(31:37):
With that very staccato cadence he has. It was perfectly
suited to his delivery. I know you hate Obama. You
don't have to you tell me Obama, but I hate him.
I hate him too. But that doesn't mean that it's
not It wasn't effective. It was very effective. That was
a very powerful That was his Bill Clinton. I come
(31:59):
from a town called except his wasn't I. It wasn't
first person singular, it was first person plural. Great leaders are,
in this case great campaigners, and Obama was a great campaigner.
We cannot deny that. Know your enemy, know your enemy.
He was a very effective campaigner. He lied effectively. He
(32:22):
convinced a lot of white suburban women whose husbands voted
against his awful plans, because, as Rush said, I hope
he fails. A lot of white suburban women said, well,
he seems like a nice guy. He's one of the
good ones. And what did he do? What did he do.
He screwed people over. He lied to him effectively, That's
what propaganda does. But by making it first person plural,
(32:45):
yes we can, he wasn't asking you to elevate him
to a position where he could make hundreds of millions
of dollars and enjoy celebrity and have all the trappings
of awesomeness and maybe get to bang Jennifer Aniston, who
knows he was saying we all together. He made every
(33:08):
person in that audience feel that they were part of this.
I always found it interesting that it was pela in
Spanish instead of sepul amos. It wasn't first person single,
yes I can? Is it interesting? Wasn't talked about, but
(33:31):
it hit me the first time I heard it in Spanish.
It was pelo puelo is the first person singler, Yes
I can. So that's my challenge to you. President Trump's
doing his part to make this nation great again. A
great nation is not made up of a great capital
city with a great cabinet and a great president. Great
(33:51):
nations are made up of great people. I saw that
in Japan at Christmas, people with such pride in their
nation and themselves, their comportment, their presentation, their manners, their kindness,
they took pride, each person took responsibility for themselves. That
blew my mind. Never see anything like that. So that's
(34:12):
my challenge to you. Set an agenda one per day.
We'll pick one today, whether it's your health, your business,
your marriage, how you parent your kids. None of us
is perfect. Oh Michael, you don't understand. I got a
better fix it. Fix it today. Make that the one
thing and fix it by admitting your mistakes and committing
to be better. Make yourself great today
