Speaker 1 (00:04):
Chuck Schumer, it appears, has capitulated to President Trump with
the continuing Resolution. President Trump is able to steamroll them
right now because the public is behind what he's doing.

(00:24):
If the public was not behind what he's doing, he
wouldn't be able to get away with this. Wouldn't matter
how righteous his position, wouldn't matter if that was what
was best for the country. It wouldn't matter if that
was best for the people. Wouldn't even matter if that
was what was best for the people of New York.
There is a brain trust trying to take back control

(00:49):
of the Democrat leadership that is saying, guys, we were
so wrong on so many things, so wrong, so many things,
and we got to start moderating our positions. And you're
seeing this. Some of the folks got the memo and
some of the others didn't. Just so boys in the
girls bathroom, that's a loser. Over eighty percent of Americans

(01:12):
don't want that. Illegal aliens in our country.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
People don't want that.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
The George Soros funded quote unquote criminal justice reform that
just increased crime.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
People don't want that. And there are people.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Who are saying, hey, look, this is our business. We've
got to make better decisions. We've got to take better positions.
So AOC is out there and her job is to
make the most fringe element in the Democrat Party happy.

(01:46):
As long as she's doing that, she's very pure to
about two percent of the party. But that's enough to
get her bills paid. That's enough to make her a star.
So's that's not a win strategy for elections. But she's
not worried about that. She's worried about being the star
of the progressive wing of the party. So now she's

(02:10):
calling out Chuck Schumer. She's using the kind of language
that Pearl Keith overbite is used. She's upset, and let
it not be overlooked that Chuck Schumer has in his
rearview mirror AOC running against him.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
New York has.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Had an experience in the last decade where you've got
some long standing folks who tried to be moderate leaders
get knocked out by these well funded Justice Democrats. In fact,
we've seen this in Harrison County, the same exact thing,

(02:52):
the same exact thing. But this, and look what we're
witnessing now is not the budget that Trump wants his
legacy built on. This isn't the continuing resolution that solves
our problems. It doesn't, and he'll admit that, he has
admitted that this kicks the can down the road, because look,

(03:12):
before we can fix this house, it's just been flooded.
We first got to get the water out right, and
this this just gets the water out and the power
turned back on, and that's all we're doing for now.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
But it keeps the Doze wheels.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Turning because without this you could have shut down DOSEE
and had a lot of big problems. So this is
a big win. We're gonna talk about Dan Crenshaw and
yet another Dan Crenshaw moment coming up with a guest,
John Lefevre, shortly.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But first we're gonna take some calls as well.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand. If you can't get through,
you can always leave a voicemail, and remember you can
always email me through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
And now to get us started as we always do,

Chattaconi Nakanishi.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
You'll be Commitedian, I've got a big, big.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Balls, so one of them was known as Big Balls.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
The beauty of this is that then you had all
of these liberal news agencies having to save the name
on air on evening news broadcasts. In order for people
to be as upset as they're supposed to be about
these kids who were do gooders saving the federal government
and saving the republic, they had to say the name.

(04:42):
A licensed Houston Obama is wanted after investigators saying she
cut off a man's private part before cremating him.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
She cut off his private part put it in his mouth.
Records show mortuary staff had just learned the victim was
a registered sex offender.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ethics is everything in this line of work.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Jason Altieri runs Southeast Texas crematory. He says families should
feel comfortable to ask questions.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
That y'all aren't one of those places, you know, I mean,
cut his winner off and stuff in his mouth.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
The baytowel man is charged with murder months after his
fiance's mysterious death.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
But perhaps most disturbing of all, what police say he
allegedly searched for on the Internet before the murder.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
One of his Google searches quote, can I kill an
illegal human. He googled if it was legal to kill
an illegal People's lack of basic knowledge astounds me.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
A plumbing problem at forty thousand feet the toilets were clogged,
forcing the flight crew to turn around back to Chicago.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
Twelve eleven of the lavoratories got clogged. Only one lavoratory
in the business glass was usable on the flight.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
One toilet for three hundred passengers. I drink a lot
of water and I peel a lot.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I gotta tell you when you gotta go and there
is somebody in the toilet, and you wonder what are.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
You doing in there?

Speaker 8 (05:54):
How long do you need it?

Bad times off bas doing.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
You're had my.

Speaker 9 (06:31):
Good Michael Berry, but change bad.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
In the system, lack of two modern day.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
Robin He's gotten.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
You are on the Michael Berry.

Speaker 10 (06:47):
Welcome, sir, Yes, sir, thank you, thank you, sir. I
wanted to share a story dropping my daughter off this
year at uh we're out of Howlettsville. Dropping my daughter
off at an HBCU Texas Southern University for her aviation

(07:08):
management program. It was It was a lot of fun
and you will understand. When I showed up, we were
the whitest white people on that campus. You very well, right,
and and you know, and it was great. The people

(07:29):
were amazing. They were very welcoming. We walked in to
take her up to her dorm room and we got
to wait in line for the elevator, and the the
mamas that are there taking care of stuff are very strict,
very the way they should be. Hey, you get in line,
you stay there. We get around to the elevator and

(07:50):
the lady says, she looks at me and says, hey,
don't worry, I'll get the flour of y'all into the
elevator at the same time. And it's me, my daughter,
my wife, and my son. And I turned to my daughter, Kayla,
and I say, Kayla, how do she know we were

(08:11):
all together?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know, you know what's funny, Scott.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I can tell she's going to do well because you
have a good relationship and you have a good perspective.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
But I guess, you know, I.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Feel bad for people who can't laugh about things that
make you uncomfortable. You know, race makes people uncomfortable, whether
they like it or not. It makes people uncomfortable, and
so so many people as a result of that. It's

(08:56):
so I have read that people fear speaking in public
more than they fear dying. And that's crazy to me
because it comes naturally to me. But don't ask me
to get up and dance because I won't do it.
And friends of mine who don't know any better over
the year, but no, no, no, come on, well drag.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
You out here. No, you don't understand. It won't matter.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
If you think I'm embarrassed by walking back off, I'm not.
I'm not gonna dance. I don't do it. It's something
I don't do. And for a lot of people, there
is this intense anxiety about getting up to speak in public,
and so as a result that they will you know,

(09:39):
they'll sweat, will grind their teeth, they'll ring there, they'll
bite their nails. Well, I think that that level of
anxiety has pervaded in our country for a while now,
and that a lot of people, mostly only white people,
have such anxiet anxiety and fear of being called racist,

(10:04):
of being considered a bad person in society, being ostracized,
you know, the leper.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
And they're so afraid that that.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Could happen to them without them even realizing it, because
they say something like do y'all serve iced tea with
your meal here?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh my god, that's a racist thing.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And they've seen so many people in public seemingly canceled
over something that was not intended.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
You know, when I was growing up, I was a.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Massive sports fan, and I watched Fuzzy Zeller make a
comment about fried chicken and watermelon when he was trying
to jokingly roast Tiger Woods, And immediately Fuzzy Zeller lost
Kmart as a sponsor, which laughed now was a big

(10:59):
sponsor for him at the time. And the following week
was a big golf tournament coming up and it was
sponsored by Kmart. Fuzzy lost all of his endorsements. Fuzzy
was outcast. Nobody want anything to do with Fuzzy. But
you know what, nobody said, And Tiger could have made
this go away, but he was not bold and confident
enough yet to do this. Tiger could have said, hey, listen,

(11:23):
Fuzzy's a different generation. But Fuzzy loves me, and I
love Fuzzy. He's my buddy. Now, I'm going to tell
you something. If you are white and have a friend
who's black, or you're black and has a friend who's white,
or you got a friend who's gay or hispanic, or
lesbian or foreign or whatever else. If you have never

(11:46):
once made a joke using the stereotypes, then you're not
actually friends. You're not friends at all. When I'm with
my black friends, even if it's just one of them,
they'll say, why you got to be such a white
boy about me saying or doing something I don't think
to myself, Oh my goodness. They wish to eradicate the

(12:06):
white race. That person is the ultimate racist, and I
would like to cancel him and destroy his ability to
have any influence on society. Do you know what I
say instead? That guy must trust me. That guy must
trust me that he feels comfortable letting his guard down,
and he feels comfortable that I've let my guard down,

(12:28):
and that we don't have to have a race war,
a cold war race war, which is what goes on
in much of America today. And the problem with that
is the people stoking it are not the people who
are the supposed victims of it. The people stoking it
are third rate sports reporters on ESPN, for instance, who

(12:53):
grew bored of sports. They realize the sports audience isn't
as big as a political audience, and they wanted to
launch into the grander political owyas. I mean, look at
steven A.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Smith. Steven A.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Smith had, for all intents and purposes, conquered the sports
media world. You look at the amount of money he's making.
Whether you like him or not, and I don't, but
you look at the amount of money he's making. He
had dominated, he had risen as high as you could go.
But now he has seen, Hey, I'm a black guy
who's always been kind of a you know, if not

(13:27):
a race batter, always kind of promoted the black athletes
better than the why and I'm buddised with a black athlete.
And now Lebron and all these guys are criticizing him,
and he's coming out and saying, get over it. You're
his dad, You got him in the NBA. Stop acting
like everybody's racist for criticizing your kid. He shouldn't be
in the NBA. You set him up for failure. And

(13:49):
by the way, January sixth looks to me like a setup.
And by the way, so we should be able to
have fun with our differences. We're not celebrating our diversity
in America today. Let's be honest, We're not Diversity is
being used as a cudgel and as a cover for racism.
You got this guy the other day who was the

(14:11):
I think it was James O'Keeffe who exposed it. He
was an FAA guy and he was trying to teach
black people to cheat on these that's not helping.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Black peoples, not helping America.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
A harsh chemical electitive.

Speaker 11 (14:25):
Well, you have came to the right place because Michael
BERRTT get on him.

Speaker 9 (14:28):
Blow it all out.

Speaker 8 (14:29):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
You are on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
Welcome sir, Thank you very much sir having me on.
I'm curey to tell everybody, all the graduates from Smiling,
we're having our reunion. We have every year at this time,
but we're having it for the fifty year reunion, mainly
for the twenty for the nineteen seventy five graduating class
with in be Smiling, trying to get more people to come.

(14:57):
And if they look under the Smiley Alumni Readion website
they can find out all about it. It's a new Caney.
So on April twenty fifth and twenty six, and so,
like I said, I'm trying to get more people to come, you.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Know, Larry, let me ask you a question. So fifty
years since you got away, so you must be about
sixty eight, yes, sir, Yes, sir. How is your life
different today than if I'd asked a young Larry in
nineteen seventy five how it would be? How is your
life different than you would have expected it would be
at sixty eight?

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Well, I'm just I'm blessed. I just I can't say
any other way. I was blessed back then. I'm still blessed.
We all have problems and troubles and mistakes, you know,
and that's but I've just learned, you know, from the
Lord of God that you just you know, you do
what you can, and you always you don't give up.

(15:49):
You know, God's grace always will provide for us, and
back then it still does even today.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Let me ask it every day.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
If I were to ask your high school classmates to
describe you in one word on the day y'all graduated
high school, what word would come up most at that time?

Speaker 7 (16:11):
I'm a good guy, nice guy.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
And then would you say that's still the truth that
sixty eight? Are you that same person?

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, I still try to. You know,
there's so many things to be happy about, you know,
not to look at the bad thing, looks the good
things and to uh it's it's what life is all about.
When we see our even in these reunions, we go
back and fluct for eighteen years old again, we get
together and we start giggling, you know, and it's all

(16:40):
it's fun. Uh. A lot of times we we help
each other out. We find out about their problems and
we remember them in prayer and uh, you know we
may see them more than we have the last fix years.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
You know, there's something there's something to be said about that. Larry.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I was talking to a friend of mine. His name
is Tillman Holloway, and he founded a company that he's
the CEO of today is called Archpublic and archpublic dot
com and it's I always have a thousand questions for
him because what it is, it's a software platform that
people use to trade bitcoin. And he's a finance guy,

(17:23):
but he happens to have been a superstar football player.
He was a star right guard who blocked for Vince
Young at the University of Texas. And he was talking
about getting back together with Mac Brown, who was his coach,
who he just admires deeply. He was talking about getting
together with Mac Brown and all his old classmates, Chance

(17:45):
Mock and who was the quarterback before Vince Young and
the players on those teams.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
What was the guy's name? Was it, Leonard Davis?

Speaker 1 (17:55):
They had a number two pick in the entire draft
that came out of that came out of the year,
I guess his senior year, and just talking about the
guys that he played on the same team with at
the University of Texas, you know, twenty two years ago.
And I think this is true for a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
And he was.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Saying that, you know, when we get back together, I
have friends that have made since then, friends at church,
friends in the neighborhood, of friends in the alumni organization.
But there's just something about those brothers and guys that
serve in the military tell me stories about years later,
decades later. And I've seen Marcus Latrelle around. Marcus is

(18:38):
kind of the mayor of Sealville, I call him, And
he would never want that said because it's too presumptuous
and too braggadocious, but it's true. Marcus gathers a lot
of the living Navy seals. They're not that many of
them out there. It's an elite unit, and they will
come and they'll all gather together and to see the

(18:59):
camrade to read they have because of what they went through.
But for all of them, they went through this as
very young men, and now if they're not young men anymore,
but that connection is so deep after all those years.
John Worthy, who I went to high school with, the

(19:19):
parents were worried. I didn't drink back then, but a
lot of my peers did. And the fear was that
after graduation, everybody go get drunk and you know, drive
off a cliff or hit a tree, or get a
dwi or whatever else. So in order to keep us
from doing that, they had a casino night, and they
set up the gym, and they had a dance and
a casino night and everything was taken care of, and

(19:41):
all the parents agreed that we would, you know, basically,
lock these kids down and get them home safe that night,
and we would make it through graduation night. Because one
year a kid didn't and he was giving us a
speech before the night about why it's important we all
be there, and he said, y'all are eighteen years old.
In fifty years, I still remember the speech. In fifty years,

(20:04):
you will look back around and those folks who you
see again you may not have seen them in the
intervening fifty years, but there will be a connection you
have because of this moment that you shared. And I
will tell you that I still have a greater fondness
for the average person I went to high school with

(20:26):
than that I went to college, law school, first, legal jobs, politics,
all those. The longer you've had a friendship, even if
there are many years in between, the earlier you have
that friendship, the depth of that friendship, it's something I
don't think we control it. I think it is maybe

(20:49):
our mind is more innocent. Maybe we're more willing to
love and be loved and connect on a level that
once it plants itself in the brain, you see somebody
you have seen.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
In fifty years and you go, oh, there's Johnny. I
love that guy.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Well, you wouldn't do that about the guy that used
to live two doors down, that moved out three years ago,
and now you see him at Gringo's having dinner. It's
just something about youth and the friendships you make. I
can't tell you how many friends I have, and I'd
have to count for a while, but I bet you
I could come up with ten who they and their

(21:25):
high school sweetheart get separated. Some of them are my
best friends. They get separated during or after high school,
during the college years, and then something happens. In one case,
his wife died. Her husband died, and they reconnect, like

(21:47):
forty years later, and now they're madly in love, like
they're back in high school again. In one case, she
went off to college.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
He wasn't.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't think he was going to go to college
at first, so she didn't. She figure, if you're not
going to college, we can't be together. So she goes
off to college, she gets married, has kids, he doesn't marry,
and then when she gets divorced, they meet up. I
had a classmate, I had a couple of friends in
high school that went this way. It's a really really

(22:17):
interesting phenomenon how this works. And at some point we're
going to be able to drill into the brain and
study it the way that we can do a dissection
on a frog, or the way we can pull a
car apart and see which component gave out. At some
point we're going to understand how our brain maps things.

(22:38):
And I think we're going to come to learn that
early loves, both both platonic and romantic, that there's something.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
About those that we keep. I've been with my wife
since I was.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Eighteen, and I know my friends who have long marriages
almost always the relationship started when they were in high
school or are straight out of it.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
I'm not like women, e.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Michael Penny.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
I'm not gay no more.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
President Trump's choices for key positions in his administration Trump
two point zero compared to the twenty seventeen Trump reflect
that he understands that we're burning daylight. The sun is setting.
You've got to make changes, You've got to make them fast.

(23:33):
You have to have decisive, fearless folks in position like
Cash Battel as the director of the FBI.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
This is Cash.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Battel flashback twenty twenty four, calling for the subpoenas to
be issued to Judge Marchamp's daughter's company. Now you remember,
Judge Marrechamp is the guy who presided over the Trump
trial and this evil, evil, sinister character and his rulings.

(24:07):
Even Democrats on talk shows were saying they couldn't believe
what he was doing. He clearly was just out to
destroy Trump. There was no sense of justice or proper jurisprudence.
He was just out to destroy Trump. And Trump is
not letting this go. You're not going to get away
with doing what you've done. And so Cash Bettel talking

(24:28):
about this, well, first, let let's talk about this sub
penis go ahead.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
It's shockingly unconstitutional traits. It's great to be with you,
and I'm here to announce on your show a measure
that I'm working with Congress that should be Congress's bread
and butter. And I'm calling for the subpoenas to be
issued to Judge Merchant's daughter's company, who made fifteen plus
million dollars from the illicit information pouring out of her
father's courtroom. I want to know the bank records, because
money doesn't lie. I want to know how deep it

(24:54):
is and how much of it went to the family,
and how much of it is going to the family
after this false conviction. And then we need to investigate
the FBC actual violations that this judge and his family
conducted because he should never have been overseeing this trial
to begin with, because of the illicit campaign money that
was flowing through there, and the unconstitutional due process violations
are only the beginning. So America is calling for accountability

(25:16):
of the our judicial system, and Congress is the only
lever that has it. And I'm hoping for one or
two brave members of Congress that I'm talking to to
issue those subpoenas asap.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
And the reason is, the reason he should have never
been presiding over the case is he had conflicts. His
daughter's company received many million dollars from people who were
out to destroy Trump. You've got this guy, Reid Hoffman.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
He's a bad, bad dude.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
He's a bad bad guy and his name is being
mentioned as one of the Epstein Orgy Island clients. Now
that's alleged. I think Pambondi is going to have to,
one way or another release the Epstein list or there
is no credibility for anything. I'm not saying, I'm not

(26:09):
calling idiocracy style for the release of it by tomorrow.
I am, however, saying she's going to have to release it.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
And I do know.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
And everyone does that there are going to be some
people who are big Trump supporters who are going to
get brought down by this. There are going to be
some people who many of you like, who are going
to get brought down by this. This fire, once it started,

(26:45):
is going to burn some good guys or seemingly good
guys too.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
So the question is going to be.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Are we going to reveal the names and investigate fully
that will end up cutting pretty close to the bone,
or are we going to do what has been done
and that is allow a cover up, cover up either
intentional or by omission, because we don't want the good
folks on our team to be hurt.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Well, justice is blind.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
So you know what needs to be done, and I
will leave that there. So this was Michelle Obama. This
is clip number four oh two. This was Michelle Obama
announcing her new podcast IMO.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Hey, TikTok. It's Michelle Obama and I'm here with my
big brother Craig. Hey, everybody, we're here because we're excited
to announce the launch of our new podcast called IMO
with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson.

Speaker 11 (27:53):
And we just posted the trailer if you want to
check it out, check it out. Thanks you guys, see
you soon.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
And nobody did. The numbers were embarrassingly bad, my guess,
is they shut down the podcast. It's honestly that bad.
I will turn this one over to Jesse Waters at Fox,
who did a pretty good segment on the fact that
Michelle Obama has a new podcast.

Speaker 12 (28:20):
Primetime has been wondering where Michelle Obama's been. She snubbed
both Jimmy Carter's funeral and Trump's inauguration, and last week
Barack went to a basketball game all by himself. Turns
out Michelle's been busy working on a new podcast, and
so far it's been a flop. The first two episodes
have been up all day and only gotten a few
thousand views on YouTube.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
Half of them are probably Primetime producers, but.

Speaker 12 (28:42):
Still Michelle spilling the family secrets, like how Barry gets
on her nerves.

Speaker 11 (28:47):
Listen, Barack, you know he had to adjust to what
on time was because he was on that island time.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
You know.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
I've got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave,
it's three o'clock. He's getting up and go one in
the bathroom, and I was like, dude, dude, like three
three o'clock departure means you've done all that, you know,
It's like, don't start looking for your glasses, you know,
at the three o'clock departure. But he's improved over thirty
years of marriage. But that was a you know, that

(29:17):
was you must adjust.

Speaker 12 (29:19):
Michelle says her husband doesn't really like people, does it
not to talk to him, and doesn't even really care.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
When a girlfriend comes to visit. It's usually like, you've
got to stay for two days because it's going to
take us so much to check up. Now brockets come in,
He's come out and he's like, y'all still talking. He'll
sit down for five minutes to be like, how are
the boys and the flip side on my husband right?

(29:46):
Because he golfs and golfing takes as long as the
first session of our you know, it takes five hours
to golf.

Speaker 8 (29:52):
He'll golf with his.

Speaker 11 (29:52):
Buddies, come back and be like, how's X.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
He's good.

Speaker 11 (29:56):
It's like, whatd y'all talk about?

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Nothing.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
I hate to break it to Michelle, but guys don't
get deep on the course.

Speaker 12 (30:03):
Normally, when someone rags on their spouse, there's usually a
little love Like you know, Jimmy, he never listens, but
he looks cute in his suit. But that wasn't cute,
did she drop this podcast to distance herself from Baroq
so she could run for president. Every politician starts a
podcast right before they launched their next campaign, looking at You, Gavin,

(30:25):
And it turns out Michelle wasn't the only one who
had problems with Barack when he was in office.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
Michelle says the kids were embarrassed too.

Speaker 11 (30:33):
Every year we'd have the turkey partning, and that was
the one thing that the girls would do at Barack
was to go stand next to him when he pardoned
this turkey. And it was cute when they were little,
but as they got older, you could see on their
faces in the shots of the just them thinking I
would just poke my eyes out, just right now, just

(30:54):
get me out of here. I'm standing with my father
telling these stupid jokes, you know, next to a turkey.
So by the time we got to the last year,
the last turkey pardoning, they were done. They were just like,
I'm out, I'm not going.

Speaker 12 (31:10):
Michelle also revealing that she didn't want her husband running
for president.

Speaker 11 (31:14):
That makes two of us being married to the president
of the United States. Thing, Yeah, that none of us
kind of banked on. I mean, we knew Barack was smart.
And you know, ambitious, but you know, I think, but
you you talked me into supporting his run. I did
because I was definitely like, Nope, no way, this is crazy.
We've done enough crazy stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
