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. People don't
want that. The George Soros funded quote unquote criminal justice
reform that just increased crime. People don't want that. And
there are people who are saying, hey, look, this is
our business. We've got to make better decisions. We've got
(01:32):
to take better positions. So AOC is out there and
her job is to make the most fringe element in
the Democrat Party happy. As long as she's doing that,
she's very pure to about two percent of the party.
(01:53):
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 calling out Chuck Schumer. She's
(02:13):
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.
New York has had an experience in the last decade
(02:35):
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, the same exact thing. But this,
(02:56):
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, 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
(03:18):
out and the power turned back on, and that's all
we're doing for now. But it keeps the Doze wheels
turning because without this you could have shut down Doze
and had a lot of big problems. So this is
a big win. We're gonna talk about Dan Crenshaw and
(03:39):
yet another Dan Crenshaw moment coming up with a guest,
John Lefevre, shortly. But first we're gonna take some calls
as well. 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, courtesy of the greatest executive producer in
(04:02):
all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi. You'll be committian.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I've got a big, big.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Balls, so one of them was known as Big Balls.
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
(04:35):
and saving the republic, they had to say the name.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
A licensed Houston Obama is wanted after investigators saying she
cut off a man's private part before cremating him.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 4 (05:09):
The Baytown managed 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. A
plumbing problem at forty thousand feet the toilets were clogged,
forcing the flight crew to turn around back to Chicago.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Twelve eleven of the lavoratories got clogged. Only one lavoratory
in the business glass was usable on the flight.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
One toilet for three hundred passengers. I drink a lot
of water and I peel a lot. I gotta tell
you when you gotta go and there is somebody in
the toilet, and you wonder what are you doing in there?
How long do you need it?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Five?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The baby bad times off bas doing. Y're had my.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Good Michael Berry, but change back.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
In the system, lack of two modern day.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Robin He's gotten. You are on the Michael Berry.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Campus very well.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Right, and and you know, and it was great. The
people 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
(07:48):
the elevator and the lady says, she looks at me
and says, hey, don't worry, I'll get the four 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 she
(08:10):
know we were all together?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know, you know what's funny, Scott. I can tell
she's gonna do well because you have a good relationship
and you have a good perspective. But I guess, you know,
I feel bad for people who can't laugh about things
(08:37):
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 so I have read that people fear speaking in
(09:00):
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 you
out here. No, you don't understand. It won't matter. If
you think I'm embarrassed by walking back off, I'm not.
(09:20):
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,
they'll sweat, will grind their teeth, they'll ring their they'll
(09:43):
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. And they're so afraid that that
could happen to them without them even realizing it, because
they say something like do y'all serve iced tea with
your meal here. Oh my god, that's a racist thing.
(10:28):
And they've seen so many people in public seemingly canceled
over something that was not intended. You know, when I
was growing up, I was a 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.
(10:53):
And immediately Fuzzy Zeller lost Kmart as a sponsor, which
laughed now was a big 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
(11:14):
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, 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
(11:38):
friend who's gay or hispanic, or lesbian or foreign or
whatever else. If you have never 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
(12:00):
or doing something I don't think to myself, Oh my goodness.
They wish to eradicate the 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
(12:23):
comfortable letting his guard down, and he feels comfortable that
I've let my guard down, 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.
(12:45):
The people stoking it are third rate sports reporters on ESPN,
for instance, who 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 Stephen A. Smith. Steven A. Smith had, for
all intents and purposes, conquered the sports media world. You
(13:09):
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 a
race batter, always kind of promoted the black athletes better
(13:30):
than the why and I'm budized 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
by the way, January sixth looks to me like a setup.
(13:51):
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
I think it was James O'Keeffe who exposed it. He
(14:15):
was an FAA guy and he was trying to teach
black people to cheat on these That's not helping black peoples,
not helping America.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
A harsh chemical elctitive.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Well, you have came to the right place because Michael
BERRTT get on him.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Blow it all out, baby.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You are on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Welcome sir, Thank you very much, sir having me on.
I'm cure 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.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You 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 5 (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 2 (15:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Let me ask it every day. 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 5 (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 5 (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 five years.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
There's something there's something to be said about that. Larry.
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. What was the guy's name?
Was it, Leonard Davis? 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,
(18:07):
twenty two years ago. And I think this is true
for a lot of people. And he was 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.
(18:34):
And I've seen Marcus Latrelle around. Marcus is 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.
(18:54):
It's an elite unit, and they will come and they'll
all gather together and to see the 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,
(19:17):
who I went to high school with, the 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
(19:38):
and they had a dance and a casino night and
everything was taken care of. And 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,
(19:58):
y'all are eighteen years old. In fifty years, I still
remember the speech. In fifty years, 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
(20:19):
I still have a greater fondness for the average person
I went to high school with 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,
(20:42):
the depth of that friendship, it's something I don't think
we control it. I think it is maybe 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 in fifty years and you go, oh, there's Johnny.
(21:03):
I love that guy. 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
(21:23):
who they and their 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,
(21:45):
and they reconnect like 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. He wasn't.
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,
(22:07):
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
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
(22:29):
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
and I think we're going to come to learn that
early loves, both both platonic and romantic, that there's something
about those that we keep. I've been with my wife
since I was eighteen, and I know a lot my
(22:50):
friends who have long marriages. Almost always the relationship started
when they were in high school or are straight out
of it.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I'm not like women, e.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Michael Kenny.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm not gay no more. 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,
(23:31):
You've got to make them fast. You have to have decisive,
fearless folks in position like Cash Battel as the director
of the FBI. This is Cash Battel flashback twenty twenty four,
calling for the subpoenas to be issued to Judge Marchamp's
(23:53):
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. 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
(24:15):
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 about this, well, first, let
let's talk about this sub penis. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (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 of
(25:16):
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.
He's a bad, bad dude. He's a bad, bad guy,
(25:48):
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 calling idiocracy style for the
(26:12):
release of it by tomorrow. I am, however, saying she's
going to have to release it. And I do know
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
(26:34):
some people who many of you like, who are going
to get brought down by this. This fire, once it started,
is going to burn some good guys or seemingly good
guys too. So the question is going to be are
we going to reveal the names and investigate fully that
(26:58):
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. Well, justice is blind,
(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 9 (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 podcasts 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 3 (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 7 (28:39):
Half of them are probably Primetime producers, but.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Still Michelle spilling the family secrets, like how Barry gets
on her nerves.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Listen, Barack, you know he had to adjust to what
on time was because he was on that island time.
You know. 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.
(29:09):
You know, at the three o'clock departure. But he's improved
over thirty years of marriage. But that was a you know,
that was you must adjust.
Speaker 3 (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 9 (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. He'll golf with his buddies, come back and
be like, how's X.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's good.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
It's like, whatd y'all talk about?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Nothing? I hate to break it to Michelle, but guys
don't get deep on the course.
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
But that wasn't cute.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
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,
And it turns out Michelle wasn't the only one who
had problems with Barack when he was in office.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
Michelle says the kids were embarrassed too.
Speaker 9 (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 3 (31:10):
Michelle also revealing that she didn't want her husband running
for president.
Speaker 9 (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. That's right, that's right,
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. People don't
want that. The George Soros funded quote unquote criminal justice
reform that just increased crime. People don't want that. And
there are people who are saying, hey, look, this is
our business. We've got to make better decisions. We've got
(01:32):
to take better positions. So AOC is out there and
her job is to make the most fringe element in
the Democrat Party happy. As long as she's doing that,
she's very pure to about two percent of the party.
(01:53):
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 calling out Chuck Schumer. She's
(02:13):
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.
New York has had an experience in the last decade
(02:35):
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, the same exact thing. But this,
(02:56):
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, 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
(03:18):
out and the power turned back on, and that's all
we're doing for now. But it keeps the Doze wheels
turning because without this you could have shut down Doze
and had a lot of big problems. So this is
a big win. We're gonna talk about Dan Crenshaw and
(03:39):
yet another Dan Crenshaw moment coming up with a guest,
John Lefevre, shortly. But first we're gonna take some calls
as well. 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, courtesy of the greatest executive producer in
(04:02):
all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi. You'll be committian.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I've got a big, big.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Balls, so one of them was known as Big Balls.
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
(04:35):
and saving the republic, they had to say the name.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
A licensed Houston Obama is wanted after investigators saying she
cut off a man's private part before cremating him.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 4 (05:09):
The Baytown managed 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. A
plumbing problem at forty thousand feet the toilets were clogged,
forcing the flight crew to turn around back to Chicago.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Twelve eleven of the lavoratories got clogged. Only one lavoratory
in the business glass was usable on the flight.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
One toilet for three hundred passengers. I drink a lot
of water and I peel a lot. I gotta tell
you when you gotta go and there is somebody in
the toilet, and you wonder what are you doing in there?
How long do you need it?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Five?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The baby bad times off bas doing. Y're had my.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Good Michael Berry, but change back.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
In the system, lack of two modern day.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Robin He's gotten. You are on the Michael Berry.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Campus very well.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Right, and and you know, and it was great. The
people 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
(07:48):
the elevator and the lady says, she looks at me
and says, hey, don't worry, I'll get the four 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 she
(08:10):
know we were all together?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know, you know what's funny, Scott. I can tell
she's gonna do well because you have a good relationship
and you have a good perspective. But I guess, you know,
I feel bad for people who can't laugh about things
(08:37):
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 so I have read that people fear speaking in
(09:00):
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 you
out here. No, you don't understand. It won't matter. If
you think I'm embarrassed by walking back off, I'm not.
(09:20):
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,
they'll sweat, will grind their teeth, they'll ring their they'll
(09:43):
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. And they're so afraid that that
could happen to them without them even realizing it, because
they say something like do y'all serve iced tea with
your meal here. Oh my god, that's a racist thing.
(10:28):
And they've seen so many people in public seemingly canceled
over something that was not intended. You know, when I
was growing up, I was a 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.
(10:53):
And immediately Fuzzy Zeller lost Kmart as a sponsor, which
laughed now was a big 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
(11:14):
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, 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
(11:38):
friend who's gay or hispanic, or lesbian or foreign or
whatever else. If you have never 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
(12:00):
or doing something I don't think to myself, Oh my goodness.
They wish to eradicate the 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
(12:23):
comfortable letting his guard down, and he feels comfortable that
I've let my guard down, 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.
(12:45):
The people stoking it are third rate sports reporters on ESPN,
for instance, who 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 Stephen A. Smith. Steven A. Smith had, for
all intents and purposes, conquered the sports media world. You
(13:09):
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 a
race batter, always kind of promoted the black athletes better
(13:30):
than the why and I'm budized 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
by the way, January sixth looks to me like a setup.
(13:51):
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
I think it was James O'Keeffe who exposed it. He
(14:15):
was an FAA guy and he was trying to teach
black people to cheat on these That's not helping black peoples,
not helping America.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
A harsh chemical elctitive.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Well, you have came to the right place because Michael
BERRTT get on him.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Blow it all out, baby.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You are on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Welcome sir, Thank you very much, sir having me on.
I'm cure 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.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You 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 5 (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 2 (15:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Let me ask it every day. 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 5 (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 5 (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 five years.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
There's something there's something to be said about that. Larry.
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. What was the guy's name?
Was it, Leonard Davis? 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,
(18:07):
twenty two years ago. And I think this is true
for a lot of people. And he was 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.
(18:34):
And I've seen Marcus Latrelle around. Marcus is 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.
(18:54):
It's an elite unit, and they will come and they'll
all gather together and to see the 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,
(19:17):
who I went to high school with, the 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
(19:38):
and they had a dance and a casino night and
everything was taken care of. And 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,
(19:58):
y'all are eighteen years old. In fifty years, I still
remember the speech. In fifty years, 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
(20:19):
I still have a greater fondness for the average person
I went to high school with 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,
(20:42):
the depth of that friendship, it's something I don't think
we control it. I think it is maybe 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 in fifty years and you go, oh, there's Johnny.
(21:03):
I love that guy. 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
(21:23):
who they and their 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,
(21:45):
and they reconnect like 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. He wasn't.
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,
(22:07):
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
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
(22:29):
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
and I think we're going to come to learn that
early loves, both both platonic and romantic, that there's something
about those that we keep. I've been with my wife
since I was eighteen, and I know a lot my
(22:50):
friends who have long marriages. Almost always the relationship started
when they were in high school or are straight out
of it.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I'm not like women, e.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Michael Kenny.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I'm not gay no more. 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,
(23:31):
You've got to make them fast. You have to have decisive,
fearless folks in position like Cash Battel as the director
of the FBI. This is Cash Battel flashback twenty twenty four,
calling for the subpoenas to be issued to Judge Marchamp's
(23:53):
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. 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
(24:15):
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 about this, well, first, let
let's talk about this sub penis. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (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 of
(25:16):
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.
He's a bad, bad dude. He's a bad, bad guy,
(25:48):
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 calling idiocracy style for the
(26:12):
release of it by tomorrow. I am, however, saying she's
going to have to release it. And I do know
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
(26:34):
some people who many of you like, who are going
to get brought down by this. This fire, once it started,
is going to burn some good guys or seemingly good
guys too. So the question is going to be are
we going to reveal the names and investigate fully that
(26:58):
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. Well, justice is blind,
(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 9 (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 podcasts 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 3 (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 7 (28:39):
Half of them are probably Primetime producers, but.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Still Michelle spilling the family secrets, like how Barry gets
on her nerves.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Listen, Barack, you know he had to adjust to what
on time was because he was on that island time.
You know. 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.
(29:09):
You know, at the three o'clock departure. But he's improved
over thirty years of marriage. But that was a you know,
that was you must adjust.

sit down for five minutes to be like, how are
the boys and the flip side on my husband right?
