I was reading this morning that American tennis star Francis Tfo.

(02:38):
I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly. T I
a f o E t if o. Tfo brought twenty
backup shirts to his match at the US Open on
Monday night because he is a sweater. I'm mean, he

(03:01):
sweats a lot, and I got to thinking that is preparation.
You figure, I've got some quirky things.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Years ago, Rush was complaining about Nike, and Nike had
was the ones who were the ones who had put
up the money to allow Colin Kaepernick to not have
to worry about playing football anymore and instead become a
social activist, which is what he did. He didn't want

(03:37):
to play football anymore. And what people who are not
sports fans don't remember is he wasn't going to be
a starting quarterback anymore. He was done. He was going
to be a backup and eventually a third string back up.
And there is a place in the NFL for a
guy that had some success, that that has basic proficiency.

(04:02):
But his body had broken down and the numbers reflected that.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Nike then paid him a bunch of money without people
knowing this to do the kneeling down, remember that whole thing.
And then he was dating and enough he was married
to this black panther, crazy Angela Davis type woman, and
so that's how he was able to live in But

(04:33):
what they were doing was building a personality for him
that was bigger than he could have achieved throwing footballs,
and Nike helped him do that was their pr team,
and they were paying his bills and paying him a
lot of money to throw it all to throw his
football away. But his football was really over. So when
all that happened, Rush was pointing out because Rush had

(04:55):
a passion for organizational sports, particularly football, and the league
and the business behind it and the personalities behind it,
and you love it or you don't. We Rushed dead
and the Steelers and everything goes with that. And at
the time that happened, because he was criticized in Nike

(05:15):
so much, listeners were emailing him and saying, why are
you wearing the Nike shirt? You're wearing a Nike shirt,
And he'd had enough of being nagged about it, and
so he explained one day, look, I've got about thirty
of these shirts. May have been fifty, I don't remember.

(05:36):
It's the same exact shirt in the same exact size,
just different colors, and some of them are all the same.
And what I loved about that is I do the
same thing. My wife laughs because people will say, you know,
your husband wears the same shirt every day. He says, well,
it's a different shirt. It's just the same color, size,
and maker, and it's thirty two degrees cool. That's the brand,

(06:01):
and he buys them for nine dollars apiece. And he
loves the fact that he pays nine dollars for his
shirt and that he's comfortable in it and that's what
he wears and that's what he likes. Now, if I
go out, I'll change that. But Rush made the point,
he said, I don't want to change. I don't want
to go buy I don't want to wake up and
have to think about what I'm going to wear. And

(06:22):
I do the same thing. And I'm not saying I'm
Rush Limbaugh, but it was just kind of funny because
we both shared this idea of what we wear doesn't
matter to us as long as it's comfortable. So my underwear,
of my socks, my shorts, my shirt I wear, I
do actually wear the same house slippers to work every day. Yeah,
I'm that person that you can't stand who's wearing house

(06:43):
slippers out in public. Except I'm not wearing it out
in public. I'm wearing it to the studio. But anyway,
it got me a thinking. But I don't carry twenty
backup shirts. Do you realize how much this fellow must sweat?
You have any idea how much this fellow sweats to

(07:04):
bring twenty backup shirts. Now, I wonder if he has
an assistant who does that, because I don't know where
he is in the rankings. Because if you're number one,
you got a team. If you're not in the top fifty,
you're probably hauling at yourself, and that would be maybe
a couple of loads. I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking.

(07:28):
That was unrelated to anything else on today's show. I
want to talk about things you can do to help
win this election. If you're a person who really just
likes to consume political information as entertainment but you don't
really ever want to do anything to help win the election,

(07:50):
you may not like this. I will give you plenty
of that entertainment. In fact, we'll start the show talking
about Kamala Harris and her Lapdog or whatever you want
to call it, Tim Waltz and the Dana Bash embarrassing interview,
if you want to call it that. It was really

(08:11):
a it was a production because it had been rehearsed,
it was scripted, and they did it. And even that,
even that was a complete and utter bust. And if
you're saying, Michael, I didn't watch it, because I don't
watch see an in and I out, but you don't
need to. I'm going to tell you what happened. It'll
take me three minutes to tell you what happened. And
the only reason I'm going to tell you what happened

(08:31):
is because it was such a bust and it was
panned by everyone. Even the people who wanted her to
succeed are saying it was an absolute bust. And you
do need to know why, because nothing else it will
make you happy.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Ladies, make yourself useful and grab your fellow or girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Levere popping office right around the corner. On the Friday
drive home edition of The Michael Barry Show.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Grey Friday New six o'clock, you know my friends were
twisting off.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I'm at the house just turning on TV. We all
on your lives changed. How many times must I explain?
It's basic honkey tealting, mad me.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Drink all connected to the party ball The boarded was
connected to stand Out.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
So it had been six weeks and Kamala Harris was
not doing interviews connected.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
To the Great.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Quentin Tarantino said, I want to fie win. I don't
want her to do a single interview.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That is an admission that if she does an interview,
she will stumble and she will lose votes. So what
she does is she is a human poster. They say
things about her, Other people say things for her, Celebrities

(10:09):
say things for her. Ben Ziller said, it is time
for change in this country. I want Kamala Harris. Maybe
somebody should tell him. You have other people do her bidding.
You have the media attacking Trump. You have the Department

(10:29):
of Justice bringing lawsuits. You have the folks who trained
the shooter. You have the Secret Service turning a blind
eye so he can be shot. You have the political
parties trying to get him off the ballot. You got
all the other politicians tearing him down, some of them Republicans,

(10:50):
a lot of them Democrats. There's a lot of money
effort time and energy being spent to keep Trump from winning,
and nobody likes Kamala Harris, but she's all they got,
so they got to get her over the finish line. Well,
they finally had to do an interview because even CNN

(11:13):
was saying, is she ever going to do an interview now?
Because they wanted to have her on, That's why they
were doing that. This was one review I thought was
pretty darn good of the interview yesterday.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Quote.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Television is mostly about visuals. Whoever set up this visual
is terrible at their job. Bad lighting, makeup, hair color choice,
Waltz's collar askew, angle, making Kamala look small, water cup center,

(11:48):
shot off the rack, poorly fitting suit. This whole thing
just looks bad. And it did. When they pulled back
the wide shot. You had Dana Bash to the right
and you see her left side and she's facing the
two of them. You had Tim Waltz to the left

(12:11):
and he's like this hulking figure. He's sitting up taller,
kind of lording over, and you have Kamala in the
middle and that they're leaning on a table. Well, she's
leaning on the table. The other two are pulled back
a little bit and she's leaning on a table. She
looks like For those of you who work in an

(12:33):
office setting and you're an executive, you know how on
Friday at four o'clock, you're getting ready to leave and
you get a message, Hey, guys, I need everybody in
the cofference room because Susie has accused Billy of sexual

(12:53):
harassment and the story's going to hit. Or your biggest
client just called and said, y'all are fired. I'm going
to the competitor, or whatever else. If an outsider were
to walk in and you were sitting in the conference
room because you were closest to the conference room, you
got there first. Your posture when the outsider walked in

(13:15):
is how comeorless posture looked? Now you might be saying, Michael,
what do we care about posture? I wan't talking about
the issues. I'm gonna stick to the issues guy, right,
And there aren't enough stick to the issues voters for
us to win. Some people are going to see that

(13:35):
interview and base their vote based on a gut judgment
that they may not even realize why they made it.
It may be because she's slumped over, maybe because she
doesn't look like she's in command of the interview because
she's not. There are a number of reasons why that

(13:57):
would happen, but it is very clear, and we'll get
to that. I don't know if I'll get to the
audio today. I may, but I got a lot of
things to get to. There are a number of reasons
why that was a bust for her, but it was
a bust, and we'll explore some of that through the

(14:19):
course of the day today. Now, we received a call
from a listener a while back, and I'm not beating
up on this guy's name is John. It's important to
remember that I often use an anecdote as a way
to make a point and tell a story, and I

(14:40):
don't mean to imbue too much judgment into that experience.
It's really just a launching pad to a bigger discussion.
I made this statement this morning that a number of
people commented on, where did I read that from? And
I didn't. It was my statement, and I said that

(15:03):
the road to serfdom is paved voluntarily by the naive. Now,
the road to Serfdom is the name of the book
by Friedrich Hayek that is very, very influential in classical

(15:24):
liberal which today would be called conservative thought. And it
is a book that has influenced me to a great deal,
The Road to Serfdom. The author is hyak H A
y e K and you can find it anywhere. It's
the book came out in the early forties. But the

(15:47):
idea is we've got to win this election. We've got
to win not just the presidential we got to win
elections all the way up and down. We have to
talk to people who mean well, but they are naive.
They don't want to believe that there are people in
this country in office, that being the Democrats who are

(16:09):
wanting the evil things that are happening to happen. And
I want to use this call as a launching point
in the next segment, So fire at ramon John here
on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Hey, thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Ben.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
I've been listening to your show for a couple of
weeks now, and I'm not a big political guy whatsoever.
I'm a blue collar, hard worker, want my kids have.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Better than I have.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I'm kind of on the cusp.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
I'm not Democrat, I'm not Republican, but I listen and
both parties I just hear a complaining about that party
complaining about the other party, And I just don't, like
you were saying a minute ago, I don't know enough
about the background history of these people, what they've done
except on social media. And I'm just kind of at

(16:59):
a crossroad of you know, all my philosophy was just
whoever's president, just do a good job, because we're one
nation under God. So I'm just we're trying to write
my head or why do we even have Republicans Democrats
if we all live on this United States? Why are

(17:21):
we one nation? Just do a good job where everybody's happy.
That's where kind I'm at. I just don't know which
way to go.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's completely understandable, John, it is absolutely completely understandable. I
think you're a guy with a big heart who loves
this country and doesn't understand why there would be a disagreement.
Doesn't understand why we even have to argue over these things.
Unfortunately we do. You probably can't understand why grown men
would want to walk into elementary schools in bikinis and

(17:51):
a wig and want to show there willie to a
girl or to a boy. You probably can't understand why
some people believe that grown men should be able to
compete against women in women's sports and knock them out,
knock their teeth out. You probably can't understand why if
you go to the border the entire world is coming
in illegally knowing some of them are terrorists, and some

(18:14):
of them are pedophiles, and some of are being trafficked.
The Democrats are for all those things I just talked about,
and the Republicans are against them. I wish we all agreed,
but we don't, sir. There is a very clear distinction.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
We here at the Michael Berry Shield believe that a
grown ass man or a lesbian woman should be able
to pop a cold beer on the drive home on Friday.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Are pretty good drinking beer?

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Are?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
To be sure, there are evil people who wish you harm.
Whether that's the guy who will carjack you, break into
your house and rape your wife, traffic your child. There
are those people. That is the person who says, I
just want to love naturally. I don't want to be

(19:08):
picked on for being a transsexual. I just want to
love who I want to love and not be judged. Okay, fine,
do it, but you're not going into the classroom to
teach the kids about it. And you don't need to
wear a bikini into the classroom, dude, to read to
the kids about who you want to be loved and
be left alone. You cry bullies, and that's what the

(19:32):
left has become. People that walk up, punch you in
the face and then talk about what a victim they
are and they're scared of you. They're not scared of you.
They use victimhood while at the same time brutalizing you.
And you've got to confront that the problem is too

(19:53):
many people have been taught and this will only get
worse because we're not teaching our children what we The
good news is the over forty and especially over fifty
and sixty crowd knows better because all this is new.
But this won't be new forever. This will be the
new normal and will be the weirdos. You realize that,
right Anyway, So we had a call from a woman

(20:15):
that I thought was on point, kind of in response
to that last call, and I'm gonna let that go.
Let's go to Kathy. Kathy, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Welcome to the programs.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
We heart.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Oh thank you. I wanted to respond to the guy
who said we're all Americans we won't all want what's
best for America. Just do that. It's simple. And I
gotta say sadly, that's not true. We're not all Americans,
not in any meaningful sense of the word. And with
twenty million illegal aliens that they want to make citizens,
it's not going to be true in any sense of

(20:48):
the word. We who believe in America, American exceptionalism, the
founding principles of our country. We believe in America and
we want what's best for her. But not everybody's like that.
There are some who despise America, and they've taken over
the Democratic Party. We outnumbered them lately. So why do

(21:10):
they always win? Because they occupy the high ground, not
the moral high crown, but the logistical high proud. They
own the media, and they owned a treasury. They work
for all these NGOs and they get paid with taxpayer dollars.
So that's why they keep winning. Now they can't come
out and say we hate America. They have to say

(21:33):
things like Kamala Harris speech last night. To listen to that,
he would think she's one of us. But they lie
because they know they have to. So I sent you
an email about the law diffusion of innovation, and Trump
knows that to reach the segment of the population he
needs to win, he can't talk about policies or ideas

(21:55):
because they're not into that. And it's just that they're
not affected by that. You will lose them if you
talk because they're above ideas, they are above policies. They're
in the people. So he's got to reach them on
their level, and he's trying to do it. I was
thinking about what I can do. People say, talk to
your liberal friends, talk to your Democrat friends. Well, I

(22:16):
don't have any. I don't hang around with people like
that because I know. I know what the deep state
is like. And Trump didn't know when he got started
in this, but he says, I didn't needs to believe
in the deep state. I do now, So he knows
what the deep state is. He knows it has to
be defeated, not just beat defeated. And here's the thing.
The deep state knows that he knows, and that's why

(22:39):
they will go to any extreme, anything possible, by all
possible means to defeat him. So I'm thinking, what can
I do because I don't have any liberal friends to
convince I'm a University of Georgia graduate. And I get
all these emails about the Bulldog Club locally is going

(22:59):
to meet. We're gonna have these tailgate things for football Saturday,
and I never go to and I thought, well, I'm
gonna go now. I'm gonna go and wear my Bulldogs
attire and my Trump hat. I wore my Trump hat
through BUCkies a couple of Saturdays ago, and I got
these vibes the people thumbs up. So I said, I'm

(23:20):
gonna do that. I'm gonna go to Buckets just for
the point of wearing my Trump hat. And I'm gonna
respond to everybody who responds to me positively or negatively.
And this is one thing I will I've saved to
the especially the women who are anti Trump. If your
child is drowning and there is one person swimming to
save their lives, the only person who can. Do you

(23:45):
really care what their personality hook or even their character is.
Our country is dying and if we want to save it,
we have to bend together. Because I agree with you,
this is the last hurrah.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Kathy is the great rustling Ball would say, Bravo, bravo.
That was pure brilliance. That was a textbook master class
in how you present an argument as a caller on
a show, so many aspects, formatics, and substance that are

(24:29):
just perfect. You shared your own personal expense experiences, but
also laying out the fundamentals of the thesis you were advancing,
without taking a breath, without pausing, without in any way

(24:52):
diverging or straying from your core point, because she doesn't
know if I'm going to cut her off in the middle.
A very well thought, structured and executed call. Just fantastic.
I cannot just fantastic, absolutely fantastic. You know, I say

(25:20):
all the time, I've set it for years. For those
of you who've been around, this isn't a show that's
going to talk politics twenty four to seven. That's other
shows you can do it, so you'll know when I do.
When it feels like, man, that's all he's talking about,
that's when you'll know. And that time is now, and
that time is now. There had to be a moment

(25:42):
in the Great French Nation when they realize the Germans
had invaded and their nation was falling. There had to
be a moment. It had to hurt and I see
that happening and I've never said that before, never said
that before, And we have got to get people around

(26:04):
us to wake.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Up celebrating the grown ass working man and lesbian woman.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Or Friday drive home on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Long Animal Beans and you cross the table eating them
beans and making love and lone time a boat p
and con and cutting too, and then the day is
over ride mew and cut the.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Fool and it's fine. You're having thoughts, don't I'm going
to leave that to buy others aren't bothering to think?
And you fill alone on an island and you want
to engage more. Maybe you're listening to talk radio, maybe

(27:18):
you've signed up for a newsletter, maybe you found a
website or maybe a YouTube page, and you find yourself
and you never expected this, an eighteen wheeler truck driver,
eighteen wheel truck driver, and you find yourself thinking about
things you never thought about before, and you find that

(27:40):
you're craving more information. There are a lot of people
that do what I do in one form or another, written, video, audio, radio,
TV dot TV radio, YouTube, websites, newsletters, even Twitter and Facebook,

(28:04):
though mostly that's not long form. But if you really
want to dig deep and encourage your young people, especially
when you get into your teenage years. Your mind is fertile.
Expose those children. Some of it will some of the
time it'll take. Expose them to the writings of the
most influential thinkers of Western civilization, Friedrich Hayek The Road

(28:32):
to Serfdom. If you're not writing this down, don't email me.
I can't respond to one thousand emails a day with
the name of books. Just go back to the podcast
The Road to serf Them Thomas soul s ow e
LLL Basic Economics, Iron rand A Y n R A

(28:55):
n D. She wrote several I like Atlas Shrugged. If
you can make it through at Less Shrugged, and it's
a slog, it's not for everybody. Then read The fountain Head,
which I never finished until later in life. I just
reread it again last year and I forgot how dad

(29:16):
gum good it is. These are three to get you started,
and they're not going to be the neighborhood book club
book of the month, that's for sure, unless you're in
charge of the neighborhood book club. But they're going to
get you thinking about things outside the context of the

(29:39):
time in which we live and That's when you begin
to understand that great thoughts are eternal and they're universal.
The struggle between the individual and his ability to make
decisions and choices for himself versus the collective that strouble

(30:02):
is as old as humanity, and you will start to
see that. You will realize that before there was CNN
and MSNBC, there were still influential media forms skewing elections
to their favorite and there were people who didn't realize

(30:23):
it was happening. And there were people who didn't realize
that there was an agenda behind it, whether they personally
financially gained or it was their own political persuasion that
they wanted to carry out from behind the scenes. With you,
they were the one behind the curtain, and you will
begin to see that there's nothing new in the world.

(30:45):
What we are confronting right now through the Trump presidential
campaign is simply put the battle between good and evil,
the battle between good and evil. It's just that simple.
I've got audio files, but I don't want I want

(31:07):
to don't want to go back and forth with audio
right now. We'll do this next week. If I get
too deep into the audio files and I get distracted,
from my points. You've probably noticed that we've been using
a lot more audio on the show of Late than
we normally do, and the reasoning for that is I
am in election mode. I am focused on the election.

(31:30):
We build our audience as a variety show, a show
that talks about adoption in Mother's Day and Father's Day
and veterans and life and death and being a good
husband and being a good small business owner and these
sorts of things. But when we get at a time
where I think it's time to be serious or I'll
stop and turn this car around, then you'll know it.

(31:53):
And that's where we are right now. And that's where
a lot of things that I would enjoy talking about
get pushed to the end of the show or deleted
and put on a bonus podcast or some other outlet
for me to share what's silly or funny. This is
the time. And I say this till I'm blowing the face.

(32:18):
And I'm sure this is true for many people, and
if it's true of you, then maybe this is the
wake up call. There are people who live politics all day,
every day. They do it year round, and it's year round,
all day long. It never takes a break. And what

(32:40):
ends up happening is because they are so focused on
politics all day, every day they're watching it on TV, radio,
other people around them burn out on it, so they
become chicken little screaming the sky is falling. But it's

(33:01):
worse than that. Often they themselves. They lose the credibility
to be able to persuade other people to help win
this election because nobody wants to hear from them. They're
tired of hearing from them. You know, if a person
repeats themselves too often to you about something they're trying
to sell you life insurance, they're trying to tell you

(33:24):
to leave your wife, or you know, whatever it is,
you grow tired of that and you build a skin
around it. You may not avoid them altogether, although many
times you will, but it goes in one ear and
out the other. You think about what you're going to
do tomorrow while they're going into that speech again. And

(33:44):
that is very natural, but it's also it makes you ineffective.
Trump can't win this election. We have to win it
for him. He can do his part. So because people
talk and live politics all day every day, and by
