Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
For Michael Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What happened? Something must have happened.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's not you, it's me.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You're giving me the it's not you, it's me routine
I invented. It's not you, it's me. Nobody tells me
it's them, not me. If it's anybody, it's me.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
George, it's you.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You're a damn right, it's me. I.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Let's start with a new polling that shows the Democratic
Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The
latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of
registered voters fifty five percent have a negative view of
the party, while twenty seven percent just over a quarter
of registered voters have they paused view of the party.
(01:17):
That's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating
back to nineteen ninety Meanwhile, though he knew, CNNSSRS poll
fines the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just twenty nine percent,
a record low going back to nineteen ninety two, and
(01:38):
a drop of twenty points since January of twenty twenty one.
What's more, just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democratic
leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party,
down nine points from January and eighteen points from the
start of the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Following the opinions of people as they morph. It's something
I find to be very fascinating. Most people think that
they are consistent in their views throughout the entirety of
their lives, but they're not. There may not have been
(02:35):
a sea change in their opinions. They may not have
gone from the son of a police officer who thinks
bad guys got to be locked up to being, you know,
the leader of a criminal gang. But there are often
an evolution in the way people think about issues and
(02:57):
particularly about people. If there wasn't, then fifty percent of
marriages wouldn't end in divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I think there are probably some people who marry someone
knowing they're going to divorce them, and they feel like, well,
I have been dating her for three years and her
clock is ticking and she does want to get married,
so if I want to stay with her, I got
to I've seen this happen where a guy will say,
you know, I really wasn't really not ready to get married,
(03:28):
but she's going to leave me if I don't marry
her because I need to pooper get off the pot,
and so I guess I'll just do it. And many
of those work out just fine. And some women say,
you're not going to string me along.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I want to get.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Married, I want to have a family, and you know
that's part of it. My whole life is not devoted
to you, but if you want to be part of
my marriage. That being said, I think that's probably one
percent or fewer. I think that people marry someone because
they think that person's going to be a good partner,
or at least they enjoy the sex or finding be hot,
(04:02):
whatever that may be, and that person changes on them. Now,
whether the person actually changes or whether we are selves changed,
I don't know. I've been very lucky. I've been with
the same woman for thirty six years. Met her when
I was eighteen years old, and I am fortunate that
she's a saint because I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I can be hard to deal with.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
I can be moody, I can get angry, I can
be short with people, I can be selfish, I can
be feeling the blank. But she is a saint, and
because of that, I'm at least smart enough to know
that I better do whatever it takes to keep her.
But we do change our opinions on people, and we
(04:42):
change our opinions on political people. I have never in
my life seen the amount of change that I have
with regard to Donald Trump. Some of it is people
who love Trump and then hate him. You see that
with say Michael co and his lawyer, or Anthony Scaramucci
(05:04):
or Amaurosa or Candice Owens or whoever else.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Hate might be too strong a work. You will see
folks who were.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
His biggest fans and now they're his biggest critics. But
you also see the reverse, and I've seen a lot
of the reverse. Now the Epstein files is a bit
of an outlier because that's causing him real problems with
the bass.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The bass is.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Saying, there's no way, there's nothing to this, and you
can't just tell.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Us there's nothing to this.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
This is an outlier. The President, I don't know if
we have the audio. If we do, we'll play it shortly.
But the President now standing by Pam Bondy, who Susie Wiles,
his chief of staff, is very fond of the story
inside the White House is that Wiles is protecting Pam Bondy.
But the president is having to put his capital on
(05:59):
the line with the base, not with the media, not
with the donors, with the base, with the people who
have always been the pillar of his support. The reason
Congress had to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill wasn't
because they wanted it, but because they didn't want to
be primary.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They didn't want Trump mad.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
At them because the base would turn on them, no
matter how much their district liked them before, their district
would turn on them. I've seen it happen, so that
group of people, the most core base, is really.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Angry over Epstein.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
And now yesterday he said, look, you know you got
to give Pam. We're going to have Pam investigate some
of the credible stuff. Well he has said it's not credible.
This all came from Obama. This isn't about face. This
is a real issue, and we'll come back to that.
But I want to focus on the fact that let's
let's take Ken Langoni. He's the founder or co founder
(07:01):
of Home Depot. For whatever reason, he opposed Trump and
now he has turned and this is what I hear
more of than anything else. Clips six ZH three.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Go ahead, Look, let me tell you right now, I
am sold on Trump. In fact, I'll say this, I
think he's got a good shot at going down in
history as one of our best presidents of it.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
That is a real turnaround because you didn't want.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
To vote for him.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I tell you the reason. I want to tell you.
I'm a believer.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
What I'm seeing happening is is absolutely nothing short of
a great thing.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And that's a beat. People are walking with more bounds
than there. It's all around.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I gave you quite a bit of grief.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Huh. I gave you grief. Can you give me grief?
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I gave you a grief when it was a binary choice.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
You're still complaining about Trump and it was a binary choice.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And knowledge implies one thing.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
When you made a mistake admitted, Okay, I think this
guy is turning out to be a president. Like one
of the pilots on that miraculous trip to Iran or
we wiped out whatever that we wiped out, But he said,
you're the only guy that and the presidency that would
do what you did.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
One of the pilots said that, and and you know what,
he's probably right. Four out of five features surveyed said
listening to.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
The Michael Barry Show podcast improved their love life.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
The fifth person didn't deserve one anyway.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Here is that audio of the President addressing the Epstein
file case and Pam Bondi's handling of it. The President
does not want to keep talking about this. He has
lost points with the base, but he's He's a man
(08:51):
who understands how to manage the message. So when he
puts an issue to rest, which he attempted to do
over the weekend, and he goes back to it, you
can read between the lines that this is causing him problems,
a lot of problems. So we'll talk about Dan Bongino
(09:16):
and cash, but tell in just a moment, But here
was the President continuing to address this issue. For him
to continue to address this issue is how you know
this is a problem. I am not here to dance
on Donald Trump's grave. I am here hoping he does
the right thing, not just for his political career, not
(09:39):
even just for the country, but also because we got
the midterms lurking before you know it, and a lot
of Republicans I don't know how many are going to
be turned off to the notion that I've voted for
you because you were going to go in there and
tear the place up and expose everything. And if you too,
(10:00):
are going to protect the powerful men who went to
Orgy Island on the Lolita Express and sold our country
out and did horrible things so they could have sex
with underaged children, if you are going to continue to
do that, then I'm not going to support you, and
I'm not going to support Republicans. And that's going to
be something that Democrats are now going to turn on
(10:22):
the Republicans. Your immediate reaction should be, Michael, that's crazy.
They've had four years of Joe Biden. They could have
demanded that the list be made public. They never did.
Doesn't matter. Democrats don't care about this list. Their voters
don't care about this list. They really don't. We care
(10:45):
about this list. We care that our country was sold
out for sexual favors, and we care that it's exposed.
We can't simply turn the other cheek and wish it
didn't happen. Here was the President talking about that. Jim
has tried to clean up the audio a little because
he's standing out and I can't remember if he's in
front of Air Force one of the things in front
(11:05):
of marine one. So you got the chopper, you got
the loud noises. He's done the best to clean up
the ambient noise, but here it is.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
President.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
I know you've urged people to move on, but I'm curious,
why do you think your supporters in particular have been
so interested in the Epstein story.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't know, upset about how it's been handled.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I don't understand it why they would be so interested.
He's dead for a long time, he was never a
big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what
the interest or what the fascinations it is. I really don't.
And with the credible information has been given, don't forget
we went through years of.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The mullowitch hunt and all of the different thing to steal.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Dossier which was all fake. All that information was fake.
But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would
be of interest to anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's pretty boring stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
It's sorted, but it's boring, and I don't understand why
it keeps going. I think, well, really, only pretty bad
people it's leting fake dudes want to keep something like
like that going.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But incredible information. Let him give it.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Anything that's credible, I would say, let them have it.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Look, I realized there's a certain portion of our audience
that just wants me to announce that Trump is right.
He's always right, he can never not be right, and
anyone who questions that is evil. I can't do that.
And he doesn't believe that when he says that nobody
cares about Epstein and the List and the only people
(12:41):
who do are bad people, he doesn't believe that. Now
he's got a real problem on his hands with Dan
Bongino and Cash Patel. It was supposed to be the case.
This was the internal leak from the White House that
Mangino was going to resign over the weekend. Now, to
(13:04):
my knowledge, it hasn't happened today, which it hasn't happened
before today. I generally go into a bubble before the show,
So if things are happening as the show is happening,
I don't follow those because I try to keep the
noise out and stay focused on the signal so that
I can deliver the show.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Because there's always a breaking.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
News I don't you ever notice Fox News always has
a breaking news banner. You can't take it seriously. And
I'm not a big one for breaking news anyway. I'd
rather think about the news, what does it mean? Why
did that news story come out? Because in almost every case,
a news story that emerges is emerging because someone wanted
(13:46):
it to to either take attention away from this, or
draw attention to this, or set the predicate for this.
And so if you run around screeching, oh did you
see the breaking news, you're playing into the game.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Refuse to do that.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
So I don't know where Dan Bongino is today. I
do know as many of you do. You don't even
have to be a listener of a show. I'm not
not because I'm opposed to it, but because I don't
have time to consume other people's programs. But I'm well
aware of his position for a number of years on
the Epstein Files, and I don't find it credible that
(14:24):
you go into the administration. In a matter of weeks later,
you go everything that I've been saying for all these
years is just not true. Nobody believes that, and it's
putting Bongino in a tough position. If you're Dan Bongino,
imagine this situation. You step down from your program, a
very popular program, which by all accounts, you love to do.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And you're very engaged.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You have a great deal of influence, and all of
that calls to mind, your political influence, your good judgment,
and by the way, your own personal professional background before
you were on the air. Here is the culmination to
do what was originally designed to be the case. Share
(15:17):
your talents with the public for a brief period of time,
and then go back and do what you do. And
that should be the case, whether you're a doctor, farmer, lawyer,
you name it. But of course it became a career
full of power and money. I don't that's not what
Dan Bongino did. He believed he was going to serve
the public's interest and he was going to go in
(15:40):
and he was going to knock heads. And I think
he was probably looking forward to this Epstein filecase and
being a guy who would do what no one else would. Hey,
we're going to reveal the truth, no matter who gets
burned in the process. And tried him out to say, well, well, uh,
(16:04):
and my understanding I'll speak for him separately than Cash,
is that Bongino is at the end of it. Because
guess what, there's life after assistant FBI director for Dan Bongino,
and his credibility is worth a great deal more to
him than the honor of getting to be the assistant
(16:24):
director of the FBI. I think he was excited about
the opportunity and expected it to be a brief opportunity
and then he'd go back to what he's doing. He's
not going to sacrifice his good name. He's not going
to pretend that the Epstein files don't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He's not going to do that. I don't believe podcast
if you dare.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Well, we file audio by topic, and I have one
more bit of Trump audio that doesn't follow from what
we've been discussing. But I want to close this folder.
It's it's the OCD neurotics side of me. I like
to like to check all the boxes. We roll over
audio every day that we don't use. If you've listened
(17:04):
to our show for very long, you know my philosophy
that we're not a breaking news show, so we don't
try to hit the latest story in the way that
a newspaper reports on what's going on and what's just happened.
We tend to be more of a magazine where we
talk about the bigger trends. What do three or four
stories in a row show as a pattern as opposed
(17:27):
to this is what happened in the news. They're different
kinds of shows. But that's the reason we do that.
So I don't ever worry if I play an audio
file that's five days or a week or two weeks old,
because if it's important, it's still important.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, this is only a few days old.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
But President Trump was speaking about his uncle, and he
made a statement that my brother, who was a thirty
year law enforcement officer, that he would often make. And
that is the difference between the two sides of the
coins Javert and Valjean, that there's not such a difference
(18:11):
between these two types of people, the cop and the criminal,
or in this case, the madman and the genius. I
feel like these are the kind of statements that Trump
makes more of now because he sees the end zone.
He sees the end of the line, He sees a
day where he is no longer president anymore and can't
be president anymore. And I think you have random thoughts
(18:33):
you just kind of want to share, sort of a
grandfatherly type thing. He also appears to be much more
relaxed than he ever was before. But anyway, give this
a listen. This is a five to zero one, Jim.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
When I first heard about AI, you know, it's not
my thing.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Although my uncle was an MIT one of the great
professors fifty one years whatever. Who the longest serving professor
in the history of MIT. Three degrees in nuclear chemical
and math. That's a smart man. Kazinski was one of
his students. You know who Kazinsky was. There's very little
difference between a madman and a genius.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But Kazinska, I said, what kind of a student was he?
Uncle John? Doctor John Trump? He said, what kind of
a student?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He said, seriously? Good?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
He said he'd correct you go around correcting everybody. But
it didn't work out too well for him.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
It's not a major political development. It's just an interesting
Trump moment. I don't believe that was written. I think
that was an off the coach, very extemporaneous statement, probably
something he's thought about many times. There's very little difference
between a madman and a genius, and I think in
(19:50):
so many ways that is true. I just I just
found that to be kind of a charming Trump moment.
You know, it's Trump, not on me message. It's Trump
not advocating, not pushing the ball for its Trump ruminating
on something he will have noticed and sharing a little
anecdote about his uncle, who he's clearly very proud of
(20:15):
and who he would have looked up to. And you
think about this, all these years of Trump in public life,
have you ever heard him reference his uncle in mit before.
It's not something that's part of his stock narrative, the
way politicians have a stock narrative. I just found it
interesting that at this point he just kind of it
(20:38):
rolled off his tongue. It shows a very relaxed Donald Trump.
Very interesting to him. Laura Ingram a few days ago
made reference to the fact that a criminal and I
think she broke this story.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'll give her credit if she did.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
A criminal referral has been sent to the Department of
Justice accusing Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But here's what she said. No one, not even a president,
is above the law.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Well, we have a Fox News alert. The Angle has
exclusively obtained the criminal referral for Democrat Senator Adam Schiff.
It shows the underlying conduct described could result in claims
of mortgage fraud. The referral submitted to the DOJ by
Housing Director Bill Poulty alleges that Schiff has, in multiple
instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more
(21:30):
favorable loan terms, impacting payments from two thousand and three
to twenty nineteen for a Potomac, Maryland based property. Schiff
owns a home in California and another Maryland Well. Perhaps,
perhaps when the Democrats decided to have mister High and
Mighty Adam Schiff had an impeachment witch hunt against Trump,
(21:50):
they should have done their due diligence, not just on
their absurd allegations, but on their own chairman.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
A condition also shared by Big Tish out of New York.
You remember Big Tish. She's the one that owns a
home in Virginia, which she claimed was her first mortgage
for her primary residence. How is your primary residence in
(22:18):
Virginia when you are the Attorney General in New York.
She also claimed that a five unit apartment complex that
she owned was a four plex, or maybe it was
vice versa, and the reason was the difference between that
classification was a difference in how the code was enforced
(22:42):
by the city of New York and also a difference
in the rate you got on the loan. Now Democrats
will say as a form of deflection, doesn't matter, these
are non issues.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Is an important person?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Well, if it does matter for Adam Schiff, and it
doesn't matter for Big Tish, the attorney general, the top
law enforcement officer of New York, then it shouldn't matter
for anyone else. So now there can be no such
thing as mortgage fraud. Once that becomes the case, then
(23:19):
everybody lies to the bank and getting a loan.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So banks now make loans.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
To people that don't fit within the criteria who's going
to pay it back and who's not. And you see
forfeitures increase dramatically, which means the cost of getting a
loan goes up dramatically. And that is why we enforce
the law in the first place. Lying should matter. Here's
(23:47):
one of my favorite President Trump quotes. He's he's on
with doctor phil who he clearly likes, and he's talking
about Adam Schiff.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Elizabeth, is it not stupid?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
People?
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Well, like all a watermelon head. He's got this tennis neck.
I've ever seen how it holds up that head. He's
got a neck. That's about a size six. Very unattractive
guy both inside and outside that people. Oh, that's such
a terrible thing to say. That's okay, very unattractive guy.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He's a bad people.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It's not just he's a bad guy. He's funny looking.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Trump has the best playground insults out there. How about
we take it to break with Adam Schiff carrying water.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Maybe that's one of the big waterhead of his.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
On the Trump Russia collusion hoax, which has now been discredited,
and some people might end up with some serious problems
over this.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
The Russians offer help, which we know they did. The
campaign accepted help, which we know they did. The Russian
then delivered help, which we know they did. There is
circumstantial evidence of collusion. The case is more than that,
and I can't go into the particulars, but there is
more than circumstantial evidence.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Now, so you've said on.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
More than one occasion that you've seen ample evidence of
the Trump camp Payn's Russia collusion. Last March, you said
you had more than circumstantial evidence of treasonous collusion with Russia.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
I certainly certainly said that there's ample evidence of collusions.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination,
or conspiracy that has been presented thus far during the
Trump campaign and Russia.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
No, I don't agree with that at all.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy.
But we do know this, the Russians offered help, the
campaign accepted help, the Russians gave help, and the president
made full use of that help.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And that is pretty damning. Listening to the Michael Berry
Show podcast, is Sexy Be Sexy?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I am the producer on a film that has just
begun filming in the last week or so about what
happened in Kerrville with the floods. It is intended to
be a documentary tribute. I think any time you make
(26:02):
a film, well, I'll leave it a film, you should
you should know what you're setting out to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Or you end up getting.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Jostled around into something that lacks direction. Our intention was
to make a film that was a documentary, meaning it's true,
it tells the story of what happened tribute, so it
is not the gotcha film. Those will come And actually
(26:40):
I'm not saying there's.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Not a role for that.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
There will be folks who rightfully will bring up cloud
seating warning systems, one hundred year floodplain designations and exemption,
you name it. They're going to have all that, and
that there is a place for that. I don't think
you can do everything in one way film. Our intention,
(27:04):
the crew, being primarily from Houston, was to tell the
story that we kept.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Hearing again and again and again.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Of everyday people doing extraordinary, extraordinary things. I find such
films to be inspirational, motivational, aspirational, but they have to
be true. When you see the story, you've got to
dig deep and make sure that is the truth. And
it does appear to be the case. Some incredible, incredible stories,
(27:34):
including by people who lost their lives. Well One of
the people involved in the film with Fred Willie Sean Welling.
Fred willingson it's wedding films and we've made several films
together and he's a dear friend. Is leading this. He's
(27:55):
the director of the film. Lee Majors is involved in
What made me think to tell you that very early
you won't see it for probably eight months to a year.
Is Barbara Stanwick was born on this day in nineteen
oh seven.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And pat on the back.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
If you remember that, Barbara Stanwick was in the television
show Big Valley. That was Lee Major's really kind of
debut as Heath Barkley. So if you're a Lee Majors fan,
Lee is a friend of the show and a very
dear friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
He's eighty five now, I guess he'll be eighty six.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That was his big that was his big start, and
depending on your age, you remember him as Heath Barkley
or Colonel Steve Austin or Cole sever the three major
television roles with heroes like that anyway, So, anyway, the
six degrees of Lee Majors. That are a a fun, little,
(29:01):
fun little game to play. Since we're on the subject, Jim,
Phoebe Kates is now sixty two years old. Hard to believe.
Phoebe Kates is now sixty two? How old does that
make you feel? Makes me feel old? She was in
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. She played Linda at Ridgemont High.
(29:23):
The scene we chose is her and Stacy critiquing some
of the other girls in the lunch room. This is
fantastic writing. Good films have good writing, and some people
don't know that you just know that you enjoy a film.
But when you really really break down and deconstruct films,
almost every film, unless it's an action film, is a
(29:46):
great film, not because of the acting, but first and
foremost because of the writing. This scene right here is
just really good, Linda, That.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Girl is just like.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
There are three girls here at Richmond who are cultivated
Pat Benatarla Chale Sembler, Mary.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Anne's loot making the Red Type. Do you think guys
find that more attractive? Oh, Stacey, please give me a
bright You are so much freier than them. Yeah, I know,
but you think they'd be better in bed? You being
better in bed?
Speaker 11 (30:22):
You do it or you don't?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
That captured nineteen eighty two so perfectly, the girls with
the Pat Benattar. Look, since we're on the subject of
movie themes and great writing, just because it's silly and
funny doesn't mean it's not great writing. Anchorman is for
(30:45):
a comedy, as good at writing as anything out there.
And if you say to me, what about Animal House?
Animal House was a lot of prop humor. Animal House
was a lot of Belushi improvising and creating funny scenes
that were really more stunts that were really more charades.
(31:09):
Anchorman is phenomenal writing. Will Ferrell turns sixty eight today, Sorry,
fifty eight today. I thought that seemed odd. This was
the teleprompter scene. Don't worry, we've cleaned it up. Where
Ron Burgundy where they're out to get him, because he
will read whatever is on the teleprompter. He doesn't process,
(31:30):
he just reads it very very Joe Biden in that way.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I have some information that you can choose to use
or not use.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Up to you.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put on that teleprompter.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And when I say anything, I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Arnold Q one.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
After the photo Matt was destroyed, the bear scampered back
into the woods.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Apparently he wasn't too happy with his color prints from
the entire Channel four news team. I'm Veronica Corningstone and
I'm Ron Burgundy. Go yourself, san Diego.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What in the name?
Speaker 6 (32:19):
No nobody comes with a body city that way. Ron
Brady just grass, nice work, everyone Sharp broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It's really good. Everyone on the floor as well, really
a lot of humbled.
Speaker 12 (32:34):
I liked it.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Don't bound, don't bound, Hello Edwards, Ron, I've gotta fire you, well,
I've got to fire you Bing bon bon.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You're fired.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
If you even know what you just said. Oh great,
Odin's Raven.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Ran.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
That movie's funny.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Many of you ask about Houston, Pas, Texas politics.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
For Houston politics.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Dan Crenshaw congressman, how does he keep getting reelected?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well he may not.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Steve toaf who is a very very conservative Freedom Caucus guy,
Maga guy who is a state rep whose district is
side congressional district too, which is Dan Crenshaw announcing last
night and on our show last night and yesterday morning
at an event last night that he is challenging Dan
(33:29):
Crenshaw and Steve Toath is the candidate of the base
in a Republican primary. There will be other candidates who entered,
but in a Republican primary Steve Toath versus Dan Crenshaw.
Toath will whip him, absolutely equip him.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
This is going to be very interesting. Crenshaw might be
getting his comeuppance.
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
For Michael Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What happened? Something must have happened.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's not you, it's me.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You're giving me the it's not you, it's me routine
I invented. It's not you, it's me. Nobody tells me
it's them, not me. If it's anybody, it's me.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
George, it's you.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You're a damn right, it's me. I.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Let's start with a new polling that shows the Democratic
Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The
latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of
registered voters fifty five percent have a negative view of
the party, while twenty seven percent just over a quarter
of registered voters have they paused view of the party.
(01:17):
That's the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating
back to nineteen ninety Meanwhile, though he knew, CNNSSRS poll
fines the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just twenty nine percent,
a record low going back to nineteen ninety two, and
(01:38):
a drop of twenty points since January of twenty twenty one.
What's more, just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democratic
leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party,
down nine points from January and eighteen points from the
start of the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Following the opinions of people as they morph. It's something
I find to be very fascinating. Most people think that
they are consistent in their views throughout the entirety of
their lives, but they're not. There may not have been
(02:35):
a sea change in their opinions. They may not have
gone from the son of a police officer who thinks
bad guys got to be locked up to being, you know,
the leader of a criminal gang. But there are often
an evolution in the way people think about issues and
(02:57):
particularly about people. If there wasn't, then fifty percent of
marriages wouldn't end in divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I think there are probably some people who marry someone
knowing they're going to divorce them, and they feel like, well,
I have been dating her for three years and her
clock is ticking and she does want to get married,
so if I want to stay with her, I got
to I've seen this happen where a guy will say,
you know, I really wasn't really not ready to get married,
(03:28):
but she's going to leave me if I don't marry
her because I need to pooper get off the pot,
and so I guess I'll just do it. And many
of those work out just fine. And some women say,
you're not going to string me along.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I want to get.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Married, I want to have a family, and you know
that's part of it. My whole life is not devoted
to you, but if you want to be part of
my marriage. That being said, I think that's probably one
percent or fewer. I think that people marry someone because
they think that person's going to be a good partner,
or at least they enjoy the sex or finding be hot,
(04:02):
whatever that may be, and that person changes on them. Now,
whether the person actually changes or whether we are selves changed,
I don't know. I've been very lucky. I've been with
the same woman for thirty six years. Met her when
I was eighteen years old, and I am fortunate that
she's a saint because I'm not.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I can be hard to deal with.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
I can be moody, I can get angry, I can
be short with people, I can be selfish, I can
be feeling the blank. But she is a saint, and
because of that, I'm at least smart enough to know
that I better do whatever it takes to keep her.
But we do change our opinions on people, and we
(04:42):
change our opinions on political people. I have never in
my life seen the amount of change that I have
with regard to Donald Trump. Some of it is people
who love Trump and then hate him. You see that
with say Michael co and his lawyer, or Anthony Scaramucci
(05:04):
or Amaurosa or Candice Owens or whoever else.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Hate might be too strong a work. You will see
folks who were.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
His biggest fans and now they're his biggest critics. But
you also see the reverse, and I've seen a lot
of the reverse. Now the Epstein files is a bit
of an outlier because that's causing him real problems with
the bass.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
The bass is.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Saying, there's no way, there's nothing to this, and you
can't just tell.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Us there's nothing to this.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
This is an outlier. The President, I don't know if
we have the audio. If we do, we'll play it shortly.
But the President now standing by Pam Bondy, who Susie Wiles,
his chief of staff, is very fond of the story
inside the White House is that Wiles is protecting Pam Bondy.
But the president is having to put his capital on
(05:59):
the line with the base, not with the media, not
with the donors, with the base, with the people who
have always been the pillar of his support. The reason
Congress had to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill wasn't
because they wanted it, but because they didn't want to
be primary.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They didn't want Trump mad.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
At them because the base would turn on them, no
matter how much their district liked them before, their district
would turn on them. I've seen it happen, so that
group of people, the most core base, is really.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Angry over Epstein.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
And now yesterday he said, look, you know you got
to give Pam. We're going to have Pam investigate some
of the credible stuff. Well he has said it's not credible.
This all came from Obama. This isn't about face. This
is a real issue, and we'll come back to that.
But I want to focus on the fact that let's
let's take Ken Langoni. He's the founder or co founder
(07:01):
of Home Depot. For whatever reason, he opposed Trump and
now he has turned and this is what I hear
more of than anything else. Clips six ZH three.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Go ahead, Look, let me tell you right now, I
am sold on Trump. In fact, I'll say this, I
think he's got a good shot at going down in
history as one of our best presidents of it.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
That is a real turnaround because you didn't want.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
To vote for him.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I tell you the reason. I want to tell you.
I'm a believer.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
What I'm seeing happening is is absolutely nothing short of
a great thing.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And that's a beat. People are walking with more bounds
than there. It's all around.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I gave you quite a bit of grief.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Huh. I gave you grief. Can you give me grief?
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I gave you a grief when it was a binary choice.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
You're still complaining about Trump and it was a binary choice.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And knowledge implies one thing.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
When you made a mistake admitted, Okay, I think this
guy is turning out to be a president. Like one
of the pilots on that miraculous trip to Iran or
we wiped out whatever that we wiped out, But he said,
you're the only guy that and the presidency that would
do what you did.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
One of the pilots said that, and and you know what,
he's probably right. Four out of five features surveyed said
listening to.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
The Michael Barry Show podcast improved their love life.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
The fifth person didn't deserve one anyway.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Here is that audio of the President addressing the Epstein
file case and Pam Bondi's handling of it. The President
does not want to keep talking about this. He has
lost points with the base, but he's He's a man
(08:51):
who understands how to manage the message. So when he
puts an issue to rest, which he attempted to do
over the weekend, and he goes back to it, you
can read between the lines that this is causing him problems,
a lot of problems. So we'll talk about Dan Bongino
(09:16):
and cash, but tell in just a moment, But here
was the President continuing to address this issue. For him
to continue to address this issue is how you know
this is a problem. I am not here to dance
on Donald Trump's grave. I am here hoping he does
the right thing, not just for his political career, not
(09:39):
even just for the country, but also because we got
the midterms lurking before you know it, and a lot
of Republicans I don't know how many are going to
be turned off to the notion that I've voted for
you because you were going to go in there and
tear the place up and expose everything. And if you too,
(10:00):
are going to protect the powerful men who went to
Orgy Island on the Lolita Express and sold our country
out and did horrible things so they could have sex
with underaged children, if you are going to continue to
do that, then I'm not going to support you, and
I'm not going to support Republicans. And that's going to
be something that Democrats are now going to turn on
(10:22):
the Republicans. Your immediate reaction should be, Michael, that's crazy.
They've had four years of Joe Biden. They could have
demanded that the list be made public. They never did.
Doesn't matter. Democrats don't care about this list. Their voters
don't care about this list. They really don't. We care
(10:45):
about this list. We care that our country was sold
out for sexual favors, and we care that it's exposed.
We can't simply turn the other cheek and wish it
didn't happen. Here was the President talking about that. Jim
has tried to clean up the audio a little because
he's standing out and I can't remember if he's in
front of Air Force one of the things in front
(11:05):
of marine one. So you got the chopper, you got
the loud noises. He's done the best to clean up
the ambient noise, but here it is.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
President.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
I know you've urged people to move on, but I'm curious,
why do you think your supporters in particular have been
so interested in the Epstein story.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't know, upset about how it's been handled.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I don't understand it why they would be so interested.
He's dead for a long time, he was never a
big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what
the interest or what the fascinations it is. I really don't.
And with the credible information has been given, don't forget
we went through years of.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The mullowitch hunt and all of the different thing to steal.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Dossier which was all fake. All that information was fake.
But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would
be of interest to anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's pretty boring stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
It's sorted, but it's boring, and I don't understand why
it keeps going. I think, well, really, only pretty bad
people it's leting fake dudes want to keep something like
like that going.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But incredible information. Let him give it.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Anything that's credible, I would say, let them have it.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Look, I realized there's a certain portion of our audience
that just wants me to announce that Trump is right.
He's always right, he can never not be right, and
anyone who questions that is evil. I can't do that.
And he doesn't believe that when he says that nobody
cares about Epstein and the List and the only people
(12:41):
who do are bad people, he doesn't believe that. Now
he's got a real problem on his hands with Dan
Bongino and Cash Patel. It was supposed to be the case.
This was the internal leak from the White House that
Mangino was going to resign over the weekend. Now, to
(13:04):
my knowledge, it hasn't happened today, which it hasn't happened
before today. I generally go into a bubble before the show,
So if things are happening as the show is happening,
I don't follow those because I try to keep the
noise out and stay focused on the signal so that
I can deliver the show.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Because there's always a breaking.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
News I don't you ever notice Fox News always has
a breaking news banner. You can't take it seriously. And
I'm not a big one for breaking news anyway. I'd
rather think about the news, what does it mean? Why
did that news story come out? Because in almost every case,
a news story that emerges is emerging because someone wanted
(13:46):
it to to either take attention away from this, or
draw attention to this, or set the predicate for this.
And so if you run around screeching, oh did you
see the breaking news, you're playing into the game.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Refuse to do that.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
So I don't know where Dan Bongino is today. I
do know as many of you do. You don't even
have to be a listener of a show. I'm not
not because I'm opposed to it, but because I don't
have time to consume other people's programs. But I'm well
aware of his position for a number of years on
the Epstein Files, and I don't find it credible that
(14:24):
you go into the administration. In a matter of weeks later,
you go everything that I've been saying for all these
years is just not true. Nobody believes that, and it's
putting Bongino in a tough position. If you're Dan Bongino,
imagine this situation. You step down from your program, a
very popular program, which by all accounts, you love to do.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And you're very engaged.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You have a great deal of influence, and all of
that calls to mind, your political influence, your good judgment,
and by the way, your own personal professional background before
you were on the air. Here is the culmination to
do what was originally designed to be the case. Share
(15:17):
your talents with the public for a brief period of time,
and then go back and do what you do. And
that should be the case, whether you're a doctor, farmer, lawyer,
you name it. But of course it became a career
full of power and money. I don't that's not what
Dan Bongino did. He believed he was going to serve
the public's interest and he was going to go in
(15:40):
and he was going to knock heads. And I think
he was probably looking forward to this Epstein filecase and
being a guy who would do what no one else would. Hey,
we're going to reveal the truth, no matter who gets
burned in the process. And tried him out to say, well, well, uh,
(16:04):
and my understanding I'll speak for him separately than Cash,
is that Bongino is at the end of it. Because
guess what, there's life after assistant FBI director for Dan Bongino,
and his credibility is worth a great deal more to
him than the honor of getting to be the assistant
(16:24):
director of the FBI. I think he was excited about
the opportunity and expected it to be a brief opportunity
and then he'd go back to what he's doing. He's
not going to sacrifice his good name. He's not going
to pretend that the Epstein files don't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He's not going to do that. I don't believe podcast
if you dare.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Well, we file audio by topic, and I have one
more bit of Trump audio that doesn't follow from what
we've been discussing. But I want to close this folder.
It's it's the OCD neurotics side of me. I like
to like to check all the boxes. We roll over
audio every day that we don't use. If you've listened
(17:04):
to our show for very long, you know my philosophy
that we're not a breaking news show, so we don't
try to hit the latest story in the way that
a newspaper reports on what's going on and what's just happened.
We tend to be more of a magazine where we
talk about the bigger trends. What do three or four
stories in a row show as a pattern as opposed
(17:27):
to this is what happened in the news. They're different
kinds of shows. But that's the reason we do that.
So I don't ever worry if I play an audio
file that's five days or a week or two weeks old,
because if it's important, it's still important.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, this is only a few days old.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
But President Trump was speaking about his uncle, and he
made a statement that my brother, who was a thirty
year law enforcement officer, that he would often make. And
that is the difference between the two sides of the
coins Javert and Valjean, that there's not such a difference
(18:11):
between these two types of people, the cop and the criminal,
or in this case, the madman and the genius. I
feel like these are the kind of statements that Trump
makes more of now because he sees the end zone.
He sees the end of the line, He sees a
day where he is no longer president anymore and can't
be president anymore. And I think you have random thoughts
(18:33):
you just kind of want to share, sort of a
grandfatherly type thing. He also appears to be much more
relaxed than he ever was before. But anyway, give this
a listen. This is a five to zero one, Jim.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
When I first heard about AI, you know, it's not
my thing.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
Although my uncle was an MIT one of the great
professors fifty one years whatever. Who the longest serving professor
in the history of MIT. Three degrees in nuclear chemical
and math. That's a smart man. Kazinski was one of
his students. You know who Kazinsky was. There's very little
difference between a madman and a genius.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But Kazinska, I said, what kind of a student was he?
Uncle John? Doctor John Trump? He said, what kind of
a student?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
He said, seriously? Good?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
He said he'd correct you go around correcting everybody. But
it didn't work out too well for him.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
It's not a major political development. It's just an interesting
Trump moment. I don't believe that was written. I think
that was an off the coach, very extemporaneous statement, probably
something he's thought about many times. There's very little difference
between a madman and a genius, and I think in
(19:50):
so many ways that is true. I just I just
found that to be kind of a charming Trump moment.
You know, it's Trump, not on me message. It's Trump
not advocating, not pushing the ball for its Trump ruminating
on something he will have noticed and sharing a little
anecdote about his uncle, who he's clearly very proud of
(20:15):
and who he would have looked up to. And you
think about this, all these years of Trump in public life,
have you ever heard him reference his uncle in mit before.
It's not something that's part of his stock narrative, the
way politicians have a stock narrative. I just found it
interesting that at this point he just kind of it
(20:38):
rolled off his tongue. It shows a very relaxed Donald Trump.
Very interesting to him. Laura Ingram a few days ago
made reference to the fact that a criminal and I
think she broke this story.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'll give her credit if she did.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
A criminal referral has been sent to the Department of
Justice accusing Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But here's what she said. No one, not even a president,
is above the law.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Well, we have a Fox News alert. The Angle has
exclusively obtained the criminal referral for Democrat Senator Adam Schiff.
It shows the underlying conduct described could result in claims
of mortgage fraud. The referral submitted to the DOJ by
Housing Director Bill Poulty alleges that Schiff has, in multiple
instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more
(21:30):
favorable loan terms, impacting payments from two thousand and three
to twenty nineteen for a Potomac, Maryland based property. Schiff
owns a home in California and another Maryland Well. Perhaps,
perhaps when the Democrats decided to have mister High and
Mighty Adam Schiff had an impeachment witch hunt against Trump,
(21:50):
they should have done their due diligence, not just on
their absurd allegations, but on their own chairman.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
A condition also shared by Big Tish out of New York.
You remember Big Tish. She's the one that owns a
home in Virginia, which she claimed was her first mortgage
for her primary residence. How is your primary residence in
(22:18):
Virginia when you are the Attorney General in New York.
She also claimed that a five unit apartment complex that
she owned was a four plex, or maybe it was
vice versa, and the reason was the difference between that
classification was a difference in how the code was enforced
(22:42):
by the city of New York and also a difference
in the rate you got on the loan. Now Democrats
will say as a form of deflection, doesn't matter, these
are non issues.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Is an important person?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Well, if it does matter for Adam Schiff, and it
doesn't matter for Big Tish, the attorney general, the top
law enforcement officer of New York, then it shouldn't matter
for anyone else. So now there can be no such
thing as mortgage fraud. Once that becomes the case, then
(23:19):
everybody lies to the bank and getting a loan.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So banks now make loans.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
To people that don't fit within the criteria who's going
to pay it back and who's not. And you see
forfeitures increase dramatically, which means the cost of getting a
loan goes up dramatically. And that is why we enforce
the law in the first place. Lying should matter. Here's
(23:47):
one of my favorite President Trump quotes. He's he's on
with doctor phil who he clearly likes, and he's talking
about Adam Schiff.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Elizabeth, is it not stupid?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
People?
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Well, like all a watermelon head. He's got this tennis neck.
I've ever seen how it holds up that head. He's
got a neck. That's about a size six. Very unattractive
guy both inside and outside that people. Oh, that's such
a terrible thing to say. That's okay, very unattractive guy.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He's a bad people.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It's not just he's a bad guy. He's funny looking.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Trump has the best playground insults out there. How about
we take it to break with Adam Schiff carrying water.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Maybe that's one of the big waterhead of his.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
On the Trump Russia collusion hoax, which has now been discredited,
and some people might end up with some serious problems
over this.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
The Russians offer help, which we know they did. The
campaign accepted help, which we know they did. The Russian
then delivered help, which we know they did. There is
circumstantial evidence of collusion. The case is more than that,
and I can't go into the particulars, but there is
more than circumstantial evidence.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Now, so you've said on.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
More than one occasion that you've seen ample evidence of
the Trump camp Payn's Russia collusion. Last March, you said
you had more than circumstantial evidence of treasonous collusion with Russia.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
I certainly certainly said that there's ample evidence of collusions.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination,
or conspiracy that has been presented thus far during the
Trump campaign and Russia.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
No, I don't agree with that at all.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy.
But we do know this, the Russians offered help, the
campaign accepted help, the Russians gave help, and the president
made full use of that help.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And that is pretty damning. Listening to the Michael Berry
Show podcast, is Sexy Be Sexy?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I am the producer on a film that has just
begun filming in the last week or so about what
happened in Kerrville with the floods. It is intended to
be a documentary tribute. I think any time you make
(26:02):
a film, well, I'll leave it a film, you should
you should know what you're setting out to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Or you end up getting.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Jostled around into something that lacks direction. Our intention was
to make a film that was a documentary, meaning it's true,
it tells the story of what happened tribute, so it
is not the gotcha film. Those will come And actually
(26:40):
I'm not saying there's.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Not a role for that.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
There will be folks who rightfully will bring up cloud
seating warning systems, one hundred year floodplain designations and exemption,
you name it. They're going to have all that, and
that there is a place for that. I don't think
you can do everything in one way film. Our intention,
(27:04):
the crew, being primarily from Houston, was to tell the
story that we kept.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Hearing again and again and again.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Of everyday people doing extraordinary, extraordinary things. I find such
films to be inspirational, motivational, aspirational, but they have to
be true. When you see the story, you've got to
dig deep and make sure that is the truth. And
it does appear to be the case. Some incredible, incredible stories,
(27:34):
including by people who lost their lives. Well One of
the people involved in the film with Fred Willie Sean Welling.
Fred willingson it's wedding films and we've made several films
together and he's a dear friend. Is leading this. He's
(27:55):
the director of the film. Lee Majors is involved in
What made me think to tell you that very early
you won't see it for probably eight months to a year.
Is Barbara Stanwick was born on this day in nineteen
oh seven.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And pat on the back.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
If you remember that, Barbara Stanwick was in the television
show Big Valley. That was Lee Major's really kind of
debut as Heath Barkley. So if you're a Lee Majors fan,
Lee is a friend of the show and a very
dear friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
He's eighty five now, I guess he'll be eighty six.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
That was his big that was his big start, and
depending on your age, you remember him as Heath Barkley
or Colonel Steve Austin or Cole sever the three major
television roles with heroes like that anyway, So, anyway, the
six degrees of Lee Majors. That are a a fun, little,
(29:01):
fun little game to play. Since we're on the subject, Jim,
Phoebe Kates is now sixty two years old. Hard to believe.
Phoebe Kates is now sixty two? How old does that
make you feel? Makes me feel old? She was in
Fast Times at Ridgemont High. She played Linda at Ridgemont High.
(29:23):
The scene we chose is her and Stacy critiquing some
of the other girls in the lunch room. This is
fantastic writing. Good films have good writing, and some people
don't know that you just know that you enjoy a film.
But when you really really break down and deconstruct films,
almost every film, unless it's an action film, is a
(29:46):
great film, not because of the acting, but first and
foremost because of the writing. This scene right here is
just really good, Linda, That.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Girl is just like.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
There are three girls here at Richmond who are cultivated
Pat Benatarla Chale Sembler, Mary.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Anne's loot making the Red Type. Do you think guys
find that more attractive? Oh, Stacey, please give me a
bright You are so much freier than them. Yeah, I know,
but you think they'd be better in bed? You being
better in bed?
Speaker 11 (30:22):
You do it or you don't?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
That captured nineteen eighty two so perfectly, the girls with
the Pat Benattar. Look, since we're on the subject of
movie themes and great writing, just because it's silly and
funny doesn't mean it's not great writing. Anchorman is for
(30:45):
a comedy, as good at writing as anything out there.
And if you say to me, what about Animal House?
Animal House was a lot of prop humor. Animal House
was a lot of Belushi improvising and creating funny scenes
that were really more stunts that were really more charades.
(31:09):
Anchorman is phenomenal writing. Will Ferrell turns sixty eight today, Sorry,
fifty eight today. I thought that seemed odd. This was
the teleprompter scene. Don't worry, we've cleaned it up. Where
Ron Burgundy where they're out to get him, because he
will read whatever is on the teleprompter. He doesn't process,
(31:30):
he just reads it very very Joe Biden in that way.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I have some information that you can choose to use
or not use.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Up to you.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put on that teleprompter.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And when I say anything, I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Arnold Q one.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
After the photo Matt was destroyed, the bear scampered back
into the woods.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Apparently he wasn't too happy with his color prints from
the entire Channel four news team. I'm Veronica Corningstone and
I'm Ron Burgundy. Go yourself, san Diego.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What in the name?
Speaker 6 (32:19):
No nobody comes with a body city that way. Ron
Brady just grass, nice work, everyone Sharp broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It's really good. Everyone on the floor as well, really
a lot of humbled.
Speaker 12 (32:34):
I liked it.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Don't bound, don't bound, Hello Edwards, Ron, I've gotta fire you, well,
I've got to fire you Bing bon bon.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You're fired.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
If you even know what you just said. Oh great,
Odin's Raven.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Ran.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
That movie's funny.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Many of you ask about Houston, Pas, Texas politics.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
For Houston politics.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Dan Crenshaw congressman, how does he keep getting reelected?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well he may not.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Steve toaf who is a very very conservative Freedom Caucus guy,
Maga guy who is a state rep whose district is
side congressional district too, which is Dan Crenshaw announcing last
night and on our show last night and yesterday morning
at an event last night that he is challenging Dan
(33:29):
Crenshaw and Steve Toath is the candidate of the base
in a Republican primary. There will be other candidates who entered,
but in a Republican primary Steve Toath versus Dan Crenshaw.
Toath will whip him, absolutely equip him.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
This is going to be very interesting. Crenshaw might be
getting his comeuppance.
