Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
On the air. You said you turn.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So go home. I sway to God. Low dog. You
don't step aside, We'll tear you apart.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You die first, get it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Your friends might get me in a rush, but not
before I make your hit into a canoe.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You understand me. He's plucked. Let's rush you.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No, he bluff.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You're not as stupid as you look like.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested at an
immigration and Customs enforcement facility Friday during a visit with
members of New Jersey's congressional delegation. Mayor ros Brockhams, also
running for governor of New Jersey, was detained while visiting
the facility homeland security.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Including announcement that he will be updating our air traffic
control system. I want you to think about something permanent, folks,
especially those of you who've been around for a minute.
Things that we once did well as a nation we
no longer do. We are not making progress in our
(01:22):
ability to perform some functions. And this is a result
of DEI it's a result of progressivism. It's a result
of rewarding people for something other than merit and accomplishment.
It's a result of an inability to confront failure and
incompetence and to celebrate accomplishment and excellence. Rush warned this
(01:49):
day would come. Thomas Soul has spoken at length and
more importantly, written at length on this subject. We right
now are suffering absolute fear and panic. I'm going to
d C in a couple of days, and I can't
help but think that I am at a greater risk
(02:13):
than I would have been in the past. That you're
finished off right there on a plane because of the
incompetence of somebody who is an air traffic controller or
in operating a massive asset the taxpayers own through the
Department of Defense, who was put there and unqualified.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But it's a girl.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Oh well, we've got to put a girl there, even
if she's not ready. This sort of nonsense has real consequences,
real consequences putting a person who is not ready for
And I say this all the time, to the point
that some of you are probably tired of hearing me saying,
but I think it's the best example. If you're a
sports fan, you would never say, hey, you know what.
(02:57):
We've never had a midget girl as quarterback, and midget
girls probably feel left out. They have a right to
get to be quarterback because the quarterback gets all the attention.
Let's put a midget girl as quarterback. You wouldn't do
that because you recognize your team would lose. Well, imagine that.
Why would they lose? Because the fundamentals would not be
(03:19):
executed properly. That's just as true of any other organization,
the United States government, the military, companies, you name it.
When you put people in positions that cannot perform, then
you're going to see failure.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Why would we tolerate this?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Why does the president need to update our air traffic
control system? Nobody doubts he does. But why what happened?
What was happening that caused this? What were they focused on? Well,
remember miss Piggy, Remember this miss Piggy dressed up in
(03:58):
our outfit. Remember Sam was his name? Brenton, the nuclear
energy disposal dude with the shaved head and the lipstick
and the high heels, stealing people's luggage at the airport
with a high security clearance. This is what happens. This
right here is what happens. You don't have the bandwidth
(04:23):
to focus on all the donsense, on all the people
who say my.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Whole life, people have thought I was a freak just
because I dressed.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Like a woman and parade around with lipstick all over
my face. Can y'all please announce I'm not a freak
and make everybody say I'm not a freak. Well, what
are you doing while you're doing that? I mean, hell,
I don't like a birthday party at work a cake
cutting because it takes me away from work. Imagine if
all day is cake cutting for weirdos. So anyway, here
(04:52):
was President Trump talking about our air traffick.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's got such a big job trying to dig.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Us out of this hole it's taken decades to get into.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And he took what they called dry systems systems where
you have wires in the earth, buried in the earth
or whatever, and then you have the open air systems.
We have satellites and you can't mesh them. Anybody would
know that if you went through about two months of
study in school, if you study that kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thing, and he did.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They spent tens of billions of dollars trying to take old,
broken equipment and merging it into existing new equipment with
brand new equipment, it's one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They spent like.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Forty billion dollars and what they did is they made
it worse because it doesn't work together. You can't make
it work together if you have a satellite system. You
need satellite.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
If you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
They had all these different technologies, some of them fifty
years old, and they're trying to mesh them in and
they end up spending twice the money they should have.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You could have bought a whole new system. So we
have a very good guy who you all know.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Sean Duffy's head of transportation, and I've given him a
ten minute lesson in buying and he's become really good
and we are now in the market to buy a gorgeous,
brand new system. The helicopter that crashed into the plane
at four hundred feet, it shouldn't have been.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What would have happened is.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Also a bells and sirens would have been going off
three minutes before that accident happened if you had the
right equipment, but they didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And the new equipment is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
What it does you can have you don't even well
I was going to say something, but you always, in
my opinion, you always need pilots.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I want pilots, but you wouldn't even have to have pilots.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
This system is so incredible what they can do, but
we have a system that's obsolete.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And what they did is the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
They tried to combine the really old, broken stuff with
the new stuff, and you can't combine it. And anybody
should have known. So Biden, do you think Biden figured
this out? I don't think Selffellas. Do you think he
has any clue? He doesn't know what the hell's happening.
So here's the story. We're going to be buying a
brand news going out to bid, versus a brand news,
state of the art system that will cover the entire world.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
When my pilot, now I have military pilots, but prior
to that, I have very good pilots, great pilots. They
would land and I won't tell you which country, but
they would use the system of another country. They wouldn't
even use the system of the United States. So if
I'm landing in New York or Florida or Tennessee, they're
using a system from another country. I said, why is
(07:29):
that and they were you know, they're not into business,
but they're just saying our system doesn't work soon.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I said, well that's pretty sad.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But we were all set to give it out to
You know, look, you have a rate deon and you
have different companies like that, numerous companies, and you have
companies that would do it, like an IBM as an example,
and you give out one deal, one contract. They gave
out hundreds of contractors. They had diggers, they had non diggers,
they had people that focused on satellite. They had hundreds
(07:59):
of different contracts. One contract where one guy is controlling everything.
You need a trench, then they dig a trench. But
if you don't dig the trench, you don't blame you.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
What happens is you don't.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Dig it, then they say we want to cost overrun.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Now we have it all set and we're going to
be doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We would have done it except that the election that
took a literally strange turn.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But the second one did that was too big the
rig and everybody knows who this guy is. Come on,
man with the Michael Berry, come on.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Prior to heading off to Saudi Arabia this morning President
Trump signed an executive order to lower prescription drug prices
in the country. Somebody sent me a stat I've not
been able to back it up yet. The stat was
that the United States comprises five percent of the world's
population spends seventy five percent of the world's expenditure on
prescription drugs. I don't know if that's true, but I
(08:51):
know the number is skewed. I'm sure of that. During
his press conference today to discuss lowering prescription drug prices
from thirty percent to a President Trump, the guy understands
how you keep people interested in what might otherwise be
boring public affairs.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You've got to be entertaining. And he gets that. He
told this story. I mean, I'll tell you a story.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Friend of mine who's a business man, very very, very
top guy. Most of you would have heard of him.
A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes
the fat to fat shot drug and he called me
up and he said President. He used to call me Donald.
(09:40):
Now he calls me President. So that's nice. Respect. It's
a rough guy, smart guy, very successful, very rich.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Because he's got comments the president.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Could I ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What I'm in London and I just paid for this
damn fat drug I take.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I said, it's not working, he said.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
He said, I just paid eighty eight dollars and in
New York I paid thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
He's right, that's the president's point. So he posted last
night that today he would be announcing that we would
get most Favored Nation status with regard to pharmaceutical prices,
and that pricing would be the lowest cost that pharmaceuticals
(10:35):
are sold to any single country in the world. We
would get a match on that. I don't know they'll
be able to pull that off, but it's the right direction.
I'm a classical economist by philosophy, and so the idea
of the government fixing drug prices is anathema to me. However,
(11:00):
ideologically and philosophically, the government would not have already been
fixing drug prices, which they are. Unfortunately, business has overtaken health,
and I'm a capitalist at heart, but there have to
be some level of controls on this to avoid somebody
(11:26):
creating a drug getting all the legal protections that we
provide to a drug, and the reason to do that
they make sense. You want to encourage research and development.
If I toil for ten years, or I pay someone
to toil for ten years, that costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And there's a lot of.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Risk to create a new drug that solves a problem,
a certain kind of cancer, whatever that might be. And
I put my money at risk and my time at
risk over all this time.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That could have been spent somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
If I hit the jackpot and I get something good
in the minute I do it, someone else can take
that same pill, reverse engineer it, and put it on
the market. Well, why would I ever innovate. There would
be no incentive for me to innovate because somebody could
simply rip me off. It's what the Chinese have done
with a lot of our technology over the years, counterfeiting it,
(12:19):
ripping it off. So the Chinese don't invent anything, They
wait on other people to invent it, and then they
rip off that technology. I have read article after article
of Americans who, in my opinion, get what they deserve
because they take their product to China to manufacture. And
(12:40):
what happens is you've got this American brand that has value,
you create a product under that brand in the research
department of that brand, So you're R and d's top
of the line and you've got a brand that gets
slapped on there that's very valuable. The Chinese obvious see
(13:00):
what the technology is because you're having them manufacturer, and
a month into being there, you notice on the shelves
your same product but with a Chinese name on it.
And apparently this is very, very common, and American manufacturers
are so afraid of losing the ability to make cheap product.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That they don't complain about it.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Now about that, it's pretty disturbing in my opinion, pretty disturbing.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Indeed.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
So the President, while talking about prescription drugs, brought up
some very very interesting points and RFK Junior was there
as the Health and Human Services Secretary, and he said,
there are as many pharmaceutical lobbyists as there are members
(13:54):
of Congress. There is a one to one ratio. Well,
if all they did is spend money on lobbyists, it
would concern me slightly less than it does now. But
it's not the lobbyists where the money goes. It's the campaigns.
It's all the money. You can't turn on a television
(14:15):
or for that matter, listen to a radio without all
the pharmaceutical ads. You know, for most of my life,
pharmaceutical companies could not advertise, you know, in a perfect world,
which I'd like to believe we could get to. I
don't care who advertises, advertise away. I trust people to
make good decisions. Where we've seen the problem is with
(14:39):
the CNNs and msnbcs. When they spend that much money
on those stations, they are then influencing what those stations
say about subjects of the day. And we saw that
with Pfiser they spent a fortune. Did Pfizer and and
(15:00):
Johnson and Johnson on the COVID shots? Get that shot,
don't want to kill granny? Get that shot. It's the
right thing to do. Get that shot, be like everybody else.
And so the CNN's and the MSNBC's they never asked
the question, how many people are dying from the shot?
(15:22):
What's the survival rate? If I get was it ninety nine?
It's less deadly than the flu? Do you never remember
year of the flu?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They are telling what's called onesies, these little things clothing
for a baby. I like love good berry shure one
of these onesies.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I wasn't sure how Will Kane was due at Fox News.
I think he's done a very solid job. That's not
an easy job to do. No, I wasn't questioning. I
don't know why you said.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I was just you don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I mean, you can't assume somebody's gonna do well. I
I must admit I don't get to watch much Fox News,
or I don't actually watch much Fox News, but our
team is always cutting things and sending and they'll send
data points with it or remember this, and so I
see clips of his show and it seems to be
(16:17):
very solid. You got a lot of talented folks on
that network. It's hard to break through. But if you
can be solid for a period of time, some folks
will fade away and you build credibility in time, just
by staying on the air and doing the yeoman's work
day in and day out. You don't have to flail
(16:38):
your arms, you don't have to hit home runs. Just
take base on balls. You get a single here and there,
get a hit by pitch. Just stay in the lineup.
That's the challenge. Stay in the lineup until you build
up some years and get some credibility anyway, So enough
of my critique of Will Kaine's career.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He doesn't need it.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
He says that whoever voted for Jasmine Crockett should be embarrassed.
And this is my point, folks, we need to make
sure that people are embarrassed by voting for this nonsense.
You know this Mandy Mandel or whoever her name is.
She's some big liberal and she tells everybody she's liberal
(17:19):
at every turn, can't wait to tell you how liberal
she is. And now she is furious with Los Angeles
because her house burned down in the fires, the Pols fires,
and she can't get a permit to get started rebuilding,
and she's so upset with the government over this.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Well, lady, that's what we've been upset with forever.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
My problem with all these people who are now upset
with the Democrats over what they're doing. None of them
were upset when the rest of us were getting knocked
around by the liberal government. But now that they have
been ensnared, they want to rise up and be upset.
You shouldn't have to have your own freedoms curtailed before
(18:02):
you argue against the government. That curtails freedoms. That's where
it works, right that you look at how many people
on how many issues will support the Democrats until what
we're arguing the Democrats shouldn't be doing is turned on
their little niche group. And I suspect you can figure
out some of the groups I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Seems like a comedy bit that you might see out
of Veep, But we didn't make this up.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's real.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
It's a Congressoman, a real one asking a real witness.
I guess real questions.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I want to play a game. It's called Trump or Trans.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You ready, I'm gonna ask you a question, and I
want you to tell me whether or not it is
Trump or Trans people that are responsible. You understand cutting healthcare, Trump,
firing government workers who keep our country safe, Trump, encouraging
an environment of hate and divisiveness.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Trump, thank you so much. Full of lies.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
She went on to say as well, the Trump's cause inflation, false,
kidnapped and deported American citizens, false, put us on the
precipice of a recession. False, Just classing us all around
from Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Which at this point really should be no surprise.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Oh no, we got Governor hot wheels down there, come
on now, and the only thing hot about him is
that he is a hot mess.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Honey.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
We know how to use a chair, whether we pulling
it up, are we doing something else with it? Nobody
slap me in, wake me the up, because I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Ready to get on with it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would
you say.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
There all of this?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Obviously, this is the question of who voted for Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
They should be embarrassed. Very well said.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Now, this next statement she makes is actually true. She
has hit upon something that I've been saying for a
little while.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
She says it in a way where you can imagine
her popping her fingers and you know, bouncing her head
from side to side. But this is actually true. Listening,
we'll explain.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
It is this fear that the people within the party,
within the primary system will have about voting for a woman,
because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost
so far. And I think that that's a natural fear
because we just want to win. So there's a lot
of people that are like, you know what, like let's
(20:34):
go find the safest white boy.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
We can find.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I mean, I'm just saying, there's the callers that we're hearing.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We're hearing people, and to be clear, when we talk
about them, I can tell you that there is one
specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with
me telling me that all the donors are lining up
behind that candidate. So I can tell and I tell
you it's not a black person nor a woman. Okay,
(20:59):
So it is they have quote unquote, they have chosen.
And when I say they, it's the same donors that
most likely had the opinions about Joe Biden and move
so like that would be the day that I would
talk about.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
So she's right.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
That the Democrats are looking for the quote safest white
boy they can find.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Kamala Harris was an absolute abomination and they couldn't take
the House or the Senate because she had reverse coattails.
She had a lead effect in the lake. She dragged
and drowned people with her poor performance. Now, it's not
that they want the safest white boy because they want
(21:46):
a white boy. This is important to understand. There are
people who wield power in this country who do not care.
They are agnostic with regard to who the present is
as long as they have control. That is very important
to understand. They will put a black woman there, they
(22:10):
will put a gay Hispanic man there.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
They do not care.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
They also don't care if that guy is demented, crazy, psychotic, criminal,
self dealing, selling out to the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
They don't care about that either.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
It's very important that you understand this point because it
makes things make more sense. They just want power and
it's very personal to them. For some of them, they
get government contracts for So you know, the George Soros
(22:49):
business model as it is alleged to operate, has been
laid bare of lead. And if the things that have
been revealed are true, I will tell Soros isn't pouring
money into the United States to create chaos. He's making
money out of the NGOs, the non governmental organizations, which,
(23:10):
as Elon said, if all your money comes from the government,
you're not a non governmental organization. But back to the
point of Jasmine Crockett saying, the Democrats want the safest
white boy, not because they care about race.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
They do want the safest white boy.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And right now that's Jasmine, Right now, that's Gavin Newsom,
the Beto O'Rourke people, are also trying to act like
he's being asked to run after running for and losing
Senate president and the governor's race three races in just
a couple of years. But it's not that they want
a white boy because he's a white boy. They would
(23:51):
take an orangutank if that's what it took. They'd take
a crocodile if that's what it took. It doesn't matter.
They want to win. What they're trying trying to figure
out the recipe on is what the public will vote for.
And they figured out a crazy, half black, half Indian
heritage woman who's drunk all the time with no accomplishments.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
In her life.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
That didn't work. So now they're going back to, well,
let's see.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast and you'll be
the smartest guy in the union.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Share with your friends, and you'll be the most popular too.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
We give Jason Crockett a lot of time because it's
important to understand that she is the leader of the
Democrat Party. As crazy as that makes you good, it
keeps you engaged. The most dangerous Democrat is what she
called that safe white boy. The most dangerous Democrat is
the Democrat who has our naive neighbors believing why nice
(24:52):
enough guy. You know, we might disagree on a few things,
but he's a good guy. He's doing the best he can.
That's the dangerous Democrat. I don't want dangerous Democrats. I
want crazy, loud, obnoxious Democrats, because now the face of
the party, in the language they use, is parallel to
(25:16):
the craziness of the policies. When they couch it in
a Bill Clinton that seems like all shucks, he just
like everybody else. That's dangerous because it lulls people to sleep.
You need somebody out there screaming like a black panther,
hooting and hollering and carrying on like an ilhan Omar.
(25:39):
So here is Jasmine Crockett calling Republicans that's you inherently violent,
and in a twist of really creative language, says that
the KKK aligns with the Republican Party.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
They try to act like, oh, political violence, it's the
Democrats and it's the liberals, and it's like, actually, got
actually actually, I mean I'm not gonna say that like
a left leaning person cannot be violent, because that would
be like crazy to say that somebody can't be but
baebee babe, y'all got the white supremacist galore.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, like all of them. You got the proud boys,
you got, you got the neo Nazis.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
You have people that literally should be classified as domestic
terrorists because a lot of times that is what they
are doing. They're engaging in domestic terrorism. And guess what,
they all align with your side, including the KKK. So like,
I mean, this is this is who aligns with that.
So like inherently and like who you are, y'all are violent,
(26:45):
like y'all, and most of your violence has to do
with people that's got a little.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Bit of milleni.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
But nevertheless, like y'all are a violent group of people,
like you attract violent.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Actors inherently and inherently. Jasmine Crockett has the tendency of
someone who is trying to make herself sound more thoughtful
and reasoned and wise than she is. So she uses
(27:18):
words repeatedly because it's top of mind in her mind.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You know, you ever pull up to a red light,
some dude pulls up beside you.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
He's guy's windows down, and you feel him before he
drives up because your body is shaking and he's got
base galore his whole. He's basically just a big boombox
and four wheels, and he's got his seat leaning back
like he's creeping winds down to maximize how much of
(27:56):
his music can be felt by other people. And you
think to yourself, you absolute complete clown, right. But what's
funny is in his mind he thinks that you're thinking, man,
that dude's got some base.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And it is in that disconnect.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That we recognize how different we really are, how different
we are, and how our goals.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, how how did that guy end up in
that situation? You think that guy is a good decision maker.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
You think that guy is a guy that that you
would you would say to yourself, he's, uh, he's making.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Good decisions in his life.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
You might like to put him in charge of the
uh little league baseball finances, or or maybe have him
teach the children, or maybe hand him the keys and
have him run your.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Business for a week. What do you think he would do?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
What do you think he would do when he got
access to the bank account? Think he'd make good decisions
or bad decisions? Because things tend to occur in patterns. Now,
I was raised in a strict disciplinarian household. No shame
in that, actually very grateful for it. I was taught
(29:33):
that you will behave in patterns that become habits. You
will behave in individual actions that pile up to become habits,
and they become who you are. We didn't wear our
shoes in the house like a Japanese family. You took
(29:53):
off your shoes as you were entering the house. In
the garage, you set them to the side. You didn't
kick them off, set them to the side in an
orderly fashion. William mcgraven and speaking to University of Texas
graduating class several years ago. Admiral was it Admiral mcgraven,
General mcgraven, I can't remember, It doesn't matter, mcgraven said.
(30:18):
First thing you do in the morning and you wake up,
make your bed. Seems like such a simple act, but
it allows you to perform an action the first thing
you get up, and to get a positive result before
the craziness and chaos of the world overtakes you. You
(30:41):
have now accomplished something that denures to your own good.
You have set yourself up so that tonight you get
into a nicely made bed. You've not procrastinated, leaving the
task for later, wasting brain power on when you were
going to do it or whether you were going to
(31:03):
do it. You started with a win. You started by
doing something you did not want to do.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Do tough things.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I read a lot about successful people, and they all
have some version or another of do tough things.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's good for you.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Confront difficult things head on. You don't like to do something,
do that first, so you don't procrastinate and you don't
worry about it. Knock out the hard stuff first. When
I was a kid, it seems like a small thing,
But when I was a kid, there were things I
didn't want to eat on my plate. So I ate
(31:43):
them first, saving the good things because if you save,
if you eat the good things first, by the time
you get to that, you're already full.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
And it's so much harder do tough things.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Be the person you want to be and understand that
a lot of other people are not operating on that system.
So you're the general manager of your own team. Avoid
drafting bad people. They will be a problem. It's going
(32:22):
to be interesting to watch Shador Sanders in the draft.
It's going to be interesting to see whether the GMS
were right that he is toxic.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Very interesting to see him.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I don't wish him ill at all, but it is
going to culture counts, and you have a culture, you
have a personal brand, and you are part of a culture.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Your household, your company, your friend group and they may
be slightly different.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Please help us us let your bility.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Thank you. I didn't know
It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
On the air. You said you turn.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So go home. I sway to God. Low dog. You
don't step aside, We'll tear you apart.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You die first, get it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Your friends might get me in a rush, but not
before I make your hit into a canoe.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You understand me. He's plucked. Let's rush you.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
No, he bluff.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You're not as stupid as you look like.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested at an
immigration and Customs enforcement facility Friday during a visit with
members of New Jersey's congressional delegation. Mayor ros Brockhams, also
running for governor of New Jersey, was detained while visiting
the facility homeland security.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Including announcement that he will be updating our air traffic
control system. I want you to think about something permanent, folks,
especially those of you who've been around for a minute.
Things that we once did well as a nation we
no longer do. We are not making progress in our
(01:22):
ability to perform some functions. And this is a result
of DEI it's a result of progressivism. It's a result
of rewarding people for something other than merit and accomplishment.
It's a result of an inability to confront failure and
incompetence and to celebrate accomplishment and excellence. Rush warned this
(01:49):
day would come. Thomas Soul has spoken at length and
more importantly, written at length on this subject. We right
now are suffering absolute fear and panic. I'm going to
d C in a couple of days, and I can't
help but think that I am at a greater risk
(02:13):
than I would have been in the past. That you're
finished off right there on a plane because of the
incompetence of somebody who is an air traffic controller or
in operating a massive asset the taxpayers own through the
Department of Defense, who was put there and unqualified.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But it's a girl.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Oh well, we've got to put a girl there, even
if she's not ready. This sort of nonsense has real consequences,
real consequences putting a person who is not ready for
And I say this all the time, to the point
that some of you are probably tired of hearing me saying,
but I think it's the best example. If you're a
sports fan, you would never say, hey, you know what.
(02:57):
We've never had a midget girl as quarterback, and midget
girls probably feel left out. They have a right to
get to be quarterback because the quarterback gets all the attention.
Let's put a midget girl as quarterback. You wouldn't do
that because you recognize your team would lose. Well, imagine that.
Why would they lose? Because the fundamentals would not be
(03:19):
executed properly. That's just as true of any other organization,
the United States government, the military, companies, you name it.
When you put people in positions that cannot perform, then
you're going to see failure.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Why would we tolerate this?
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Why does the president need to update our air traffic
control system? Nobody doubts he does. But why what happened?
What was happening that caused this? What were they focused on? Well,
remember miss Piggy, Remember this miss Piggy dressed up in
(03:58):
our outfit. Remember Sam was his name? Brenton, the nuclear
energy disposal dude with the shaved head and the lipstick
and the high heels, stealing people's luggage at the airport
with a high security clearance. This is what happens. This
right here is what happens. You don't have the bandwidth
(04:23):
to focus on all the donsense, on all the people
who say my.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Whole life, people have thought I was a freak just
because I dressed.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Like a woman and parade around with lipstick all over
my face. Can y'all please announce I'm not a freak
and make everybody say I'm not a freak. Well, what
are you doing while you're doing that? I mean, hell,
I don't like a birthday party at work a cake
cutting because it takes me away from work. Imagine if
all day is cake cutting for weirdos. So anyway, here
(04:52):
was President Trump talking about our air traffick.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's got such a big job trying to dig.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Us out of this hole it's taken decades to get into.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And he took what they called dry systems systems where
you have wires in the earth, buried in the earth
or whatever, and then you have the open air systems.
We have satellites and you can't mesh them. Anybody would
know that if you went through about two months of
study in school, if you study that kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thing, and he did.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They spent tens of billions of dollars trying to take old,
broken equipment and merging it into existing new equipment with
brand new equipment, it's one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They spent like.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Forty billion dollars and what they did is they made
it worse because it doesn't work together. You can't make
it work together if you have a satellite system. You
need satellite.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
If you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
They had all these different technologies, some of them fifty
years old, and they're trying to mesh them in and
they end up spending twice the money they should have.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You could have bought a whole new system. So we
have a very good guy who you all know.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Sean Duffy's head of transportation, and I've given him a
ten minute lesson in buying and he's become really good
and we are now in the market to buy a gorgeous,
brand new system. The helicopter that crashed into the plane
at four hundred feet, it shouldn't have been.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What would have happened is.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Also a bells and sirens would have been going off
three minutes before that accident happened if you had the
right equipment, but they didn't.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And the new equipment is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
What it does you can have you don't even well
I was going to say something, but you always, in
my opinion, you always need pilots.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I want pilots, but you wouldn't even have to have pilots.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
This system is so incredible what they can do, but
we have a system that's obsolete.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And what they did is the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
They tried to combine the really old, broken stuff with
the new stuff, and you can't combine it. And anybody
should have known. So Biden, do you think Biden figured
this out? I don't think Selffellas. Do you think he
has any clue? He doesn't know what the hell's happening.
So here's the story. We're going to be buying a
brand news going out to bid, versus a brand news,
state of the art system that will cover the entire world.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
When my pilot, now I have military pilots, but prior
to that, I have very good pilots, great pilots. They
would land and I won't tell you which country, but
they would use the system of another country. They wouldn't
even use the system of the United States. So if
I'm landing in New York or Florida or Tennessee, they're
using a system from another country. I said, why is
(07:29):
that and they were you know, they're not into business,
but they're just saying our system doesn't work soon.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I said, well that's pretty sad.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But we were all set to give it out to
You know, look, you have a rate deon and you
have different companies like that, numerous companies, and you have
companies that would do it, like an IBM as an example,
and you give out one deal, one contract. They gave
out hundreds of contractors. They had diggers, they had non diggers,
they had people that focused on satellite. They had hundreds
(07:59):
of different contracts. One contract where one guy is controlling everything.
You need a trench, then they dig a trench. But
if you don't dig the trench, you don't blame you.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
What happens is you don't.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Dig it, then they say we want to cost overrun.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Now we have it all set and we're going to
be doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We would have done it except that the election that
took a literally strange turn.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But the second one did that was too big the
rig and everybody knows who this guy is. Come on,
man with the Michael Berry, come on.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Prior to heading off to Saudi Arabia this morning President
Trump signed an executive order to lower prescription drug prices
in the country. Somebody sent me a stat I've not
been able to back it up yet. The stat was
that the United States comprises five percent of the world's
population spends seventy five percent of the world's expenditure on
prescription drugs. I don't know if that's true, but I
(08:51):
know the number is skewed. I'm sure of that. During
his press conference today to discuss lowering prescription drug prices
from thirty percent to a President Trump, the guy understands
how you keep people interested in what might otherwise be
boring public affairs.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You've got to be entertaining. And he gets that. He
told this story. I mean, I'll tell you a story.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Friend of mine who's a business man, very very, very
top guy. Most of you would have heard of him.
A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes
the fat to fat shot drug and he called me
up and he said President. He used to call me Donald.
(09:40):
Now he calls me President. So that's nice. Respect. It's
a rough guy, smart guy, very successful, very rich.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Because he's got comments the president.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Could I ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What I'm in London and I just paid for this
damn fat drug I take.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I said, it's not working, he said.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
He said, I just paid eighty eight dollars and in
New York I paid thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
He's right, that's the president's point. So he posted last
night that today he would be announcing that we would
get most Favored Nation status with regard to pharmaceutical prices,
and that pricing would be the lowest cost that pharmaceuticals
(10:35):
are sold to any single country in the world. We
would get a match on that. I don't know they'll
be able to pull that off, but it's the right direction.
I'm a classical economist by philosophy, and so the idea
of the government fixing drug prices is anathema to me. However,
(11:00):
ideologically and philosophically, the government would not have already been
fixing drug prices, which they are. Unfortunately, business has overtaken health,
and I'm a capitalist at heart, but there have to
be some level of controls on this to avoid somebody
(11:26):
creating a drug getting all the legal protections that we
provide to a drug, and the reason to do that
they make sense. You want to encourage research and development.
If I toil for ten years, or I pay someone
to toil for ten years, that costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And there's a lot of.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Risk to create a new drug that solves a problem,
a certain kind of cancer, whatever that might be. And
I put my money at risk and my time at
risk over all this time.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That could have been spent somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
If I hit the jackpot and I get something good
in the minute I do it, someone else can take
that same pill, reverse engineer it, and put it on
the market. Well, why would I ever innovate. There would
be no incentive for me to innovate because somebody could
simply rip me off. It's what the Chinese have done
with a lot of our technology over the years, counterfeiting it,
(12:19):
ripping it off. So the Chinese don't invent anything, They
wait on other people to invent it, and then they
rip off that technology. I have read article after article
of Americans who, in my opinion, get what they deserve
because they take their product to China to manufacture. And
(12:40):
what happens is you've got this American brand that has value,
you create a product under that brand in the research
department of that brand, So you're R and d's top
of the line and you've got a brand that gets
slapped on there that's very valuable. The Chinese obvious see
(13:00):
what the technology is because you're having them manufacturer, and
a month into being there, you notice on the shelves
your same product but with a Chinese name on it.
And apparently this is very, very common, and American manufacturers
are so afraid of losing the ability to make cheap product.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That they don't complain about it.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Now about that, it's pretty disturbing in my opinion, pretty disturbing.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Indeed.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
So the President, while talking about prescription drugs, brought up
some very very interesting points and RFK Junior was there
as the Health and Human Services Secretary, and he said,
there are as many pharmaceutical lobbyists as there are members
(13:54):
of Congress. There is a one to one ratio. Well,
if all they did is spend money on lobbyists, it
would concern me slightly less than it does now. But
it's not the lobbyists where the money goes. It's the campaigns.
It's all the money. You can't turn on a television
(14:15):
or for that matter, listen to a radio without all
the pharmaceutical ads. You know, for most of my life,
pharmaceutical companies could not advertise, you know, in a perfect world,
which I'd like to believe we could get to. I
don't care who advertises, advertise away. I trust people to
make good decisions. Where we've seen the problem is with
(14:39):
the CNNs and msnbcs. When they spend that much money
on those stations, they are then influencing what those stations
say about subjects of the day. And we saw that
with Pfiser they spent a fortune. Did Pfizer and and
(15:00):
Johnson and Johnson on the COVID shots? Get that shot,
don't want to kill granny? Get that shot. It's the
right thing to do. Get that shot, be like everybody else.
And so the CNN's and the MSNBC's they never asked
the question, how many people are dying from the shot?
(15:22):
What's the survival rate? If I get was it ninety nine?
It's less deadly than the flu? Do you never remember
year of the flu?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They are telling what's called onesies, these little things clothing
for a baby. I like love good berry shure one
of these onesies.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I wasn't sure how Will Kane was due at Fox News.
I think he's done a very solid job. That's not
an easy job to do. No, I wasn't questioning. I
don't know why you said.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I was just you don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I mean, you can't assume somebody's gonna do well. I
I must admit I don't get to watch much Fox News,
or I don't actually watch much Fox News, but our
team is always cutting things and sending and they'll send
data points with it or remember this, and so I
see clips of his show and it seems to be
(16:17):
very solid. You got a lot of talented folks on
that network. It's hard to break through. But if you
can be solid for a period of time, some folks
will fade away and you build credibility in time, just
by staying on the air and doing the yeoman's work
day in and day out. You don't have to flail
(16:38):
your arms, you don't have to hit home runs. Just
take base on balls. You get a single here and there,
get a hit by pitch. Just stay in the lineup.
That's the challenge. Stay in the lineup until you build
up some years and get some credibility anyway, So enough
of my critique of Will Kaine's career.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He doesn't need it.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
He says that whoever voted for Jasmine Crockett should be embarrassed.
And this is my point, folks, we need to make
sure that people are embarrassed by voting for this nonsense.
You know this Mandy Mandel or whoever her name is.
She's some big liberal and she tells everybody she's liberal
(17:19):
at every turn, can't wait to tell you how liberal
she is. And now she is furious with Los Angeles
because her house burned down in the fires, the Pols fires,
and she can't get a permit to get started rebuilding,
and she's so upset with the government over this.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Well, lady, that's what we've been upset with forever.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
My problem with all these people who are now upset
with the Democrats over what they're doing. None of them
were upset when the rest of us were getting knocked
around by the liberal government. But now that they have
been ensnared, they want to rise up and be upset.
You shouldn't have to have your own freedoms curtailed before
(18:02):
you argue against the government. That curtails freedoms. That's where
it works, right that you look at how many people
on how many issues will support the Democrats until what
we're arguing the Democrats shouldn't be doing is turned on
their little niche group. And I suspect you can figure
out some of the groups I'm talking about.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Seems like a comedy bit that you might see out
of Veep, But we didn't make this up.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's real.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
It's a Congressoman, a real one asking a real witness.
I guess real questions.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I want to play a game. It's called Trump or Trans.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You ready, I'm gonna ask you a question, and I
want you to tell me whether or not it is
Trump or Trans people that are responsible. You understand cutting healthcare, Trump,
firing government workers who keep our country safe, Trump, encouraging
an environment of hate and divisiveness.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Trump, thank you so much. Full of lies.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
She went on to say as well, the Trump's cause inflation, false,
kidnapped and deported American citizens, false, put us on the
precipice of a recession. False, Just classing us all around
from Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Which at this point really should be no surprise.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Oh no, we got Governor hot wheels down there, come
on now, and the only thing hot about him is
that he is a hot mess.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Honey.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
We know how to use a chair, whether we pulling
it up, are we doing something else with it? Nobody
slap me in, wake me the up, because I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Ready to get on with it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would
you say.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
There all of this?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Obviously, this is the question of who voted for Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
They should be embarrassed. Very well said.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Now, this next statement she makes is actually true. She
has hit upon something that I've been saying for a
little while.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
She says it in a way where you can imagine
her popping her fingers and you know, bouncing her head
from side to side. But this is actually true. Listening,
we'll explain.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
It is this fear that the people within the party,
within the primary system will have about voting for a woman,
because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost
so far. And I think that that's a natural fear
because we just want to win. So there's a lot
of people that are like, you know what, like let's
(20:34):
go find the safest white boy.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
We can find.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I mean, I'm just saying, there's the callers that we're hearing.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We're hearing people, and to be clear, when we talk
about them, I can tell you that there is one
specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with
me telling me that all the donors are lining up
behind that candidate. So I can tell and I tell
you it's not a black person nor a woman. Okay,
(20:59):
So it is they have quote unquote, they have chosen.
And when I say they, it's the same donors that
most likely had the opinions about Joe Biden and move
so like that would be the day that I would
talk about.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
So she's right.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
That the Democrats are looking for the quote safest white
boy they can find.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That is true.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Kamala Harris was an absolute abomination and they couldn't take
the House or the Senate because she had reverse coattails.
She had a lead effect in the lake. She dragged
and drowned people with her poor performance. Now, it's not
that they want the safest white boy because they want
(21:46):
a white boy. This is important to understand. There are
people who wield power in this country who do not care.
They are agnostic with regard to who the present is
as long as they have control. That is very important
to understand. They will put a black woman there, they
(22:10):
will put a gay Hispanic man there.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
They do not care.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
They also don't care if that guy is demented, crazy, psychotic, criminal,
self dealing, selling out to the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
They don't care about that either.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
It's very important that you understand this point because it
makes things make more sense. They just want power and
it's very personal to them. For some of them, they
get government contracts for So you know, the George Soros
(22:49):
business model as it is alleged to operate, has been
laid bare of lead. And if the things that have
been revealed are true, I will tell Soros isn't pouring
money into the United States to create chaos. He's making
money out of the NGOs, the non governmental organizations, which,
(23:10):
as Elon said, if all your money comes from the government,
you're not a non governmental organization. But back to the
point of Jasmine Crockett saying, the Democrats want the safest
white boy, not because they care about race.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
They do want the safest white boy.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
And right now that's Jasmine, Right now, that's Gavin Newsom,
the Beto O'Rourke people, are also trying to act like
he's being asked to run after running for and losing
Senate president and the governor's race three races in just
a couple of years. But it's not that they want
a white boy because he's a white boy. They would
(23:51):
take an orangutank if that's what it took. They'd take
a crocodile if that's what it took. It doesn't matter.
They want to win. What they're trying trying to figure
out the recipe on is what the public will vote for.
And they figured out a crazy, half black, half Indian
heritage woman who's drunk all the time with no accomplishments.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
In her life.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
That didn't work. So now they're going back to, well,
let's see.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast and you'll be
the smartest guy in the union.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Share with your friends, and you'll be the most popular too.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
We give Jason Crockett a lot of time because it's
important to understand that she is the leader of the
Democrat Party. As crazy as that makes you good, it
keeps you engaged. The most dangerous Democrat is what she
called that safe white boy. The most dangerous Democrat is
the Democrat who has our naive neighbors believing why nice
(24:52):
enough guy. You know, we might disagree on a few things,
but he's a good guy. He's doing the best he can.
That's the dangerous Democrat. I don't want dangerous Democrats. I
want crazy, loud, obnoxious Democrats, because now the face of
the party, in the language they use, is parallel to
(25:16):
the craziness of the policies. When they couch it in
a Bill Clinton that seems like all shucks, he just
like everybody else. That's dangerous because it lulls people to sleep.
You need somebody out there screaming like a black panther,
hooting and hollering and carrying on like an ilhan Omar.
(25:39):
So here is Jasmine Crockett calling Republicans that's you inherently violent,
and in a twist of really creative language, says that
the KKK aligns with the Republican Party.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
They try to act like, oh, political violence, it's the
Democrats and it's the liberals, and it's like, actually, got
actually actually, I mean I'm not gonna say that like
a left leaning person cannot be violent, because that would
be like crazy to say that somebody can't be but
baebee babe, y'all got the white supremacist galore.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, like all of them. You got the proud boys,
you got, you got the neo Nazis.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
You have people that literally should be classified as domestic
terrorists because a lot of times that is what they
are doing. They're engaging in domestic terrorism. And guess what,
they all align with your side, including the KKK. So like,
I mean, this is this is who aligns with that.
So like inherently and like who you are, y'all are violent,
(26:45):
like y'all, and most of your violence has to do
with people that's got a little.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Bit of milleni.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
But nevertheless, like y'all are a violent group of people,
like you attract violent.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Actors inherently and inherently. Jasmine Crockett has the tendency of
someone who is trying to make herself sound more thoughtful
and reasoned and wise than she is. So she uses
(27:18):
words repeatedly because it's top of mind in her mind.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You know, you ever pull up to a red light,
some dude pulls up beside you.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
He's guy's windows down, and you feel him before he
drives up because your body is shaking and he's got
base galore his whole. He's basically just a big boombox
and four wheels, and he's got his seat leaning back
like he's creeping winds down to maximize how much of
(27:56):
his music can be felt by other people. And you
think to yourself, you absolute complete clown, right. But what's
funny is in his mind he thinks that you're thinking, man,
that dude's got some base.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And it is in that disconnect.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That we recognize how different we really are, how different
we are, and how our goals.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, how how did that guy end up in
that situation? You think that guy is a good decision maker.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
You think that guy is a guy that that you
would you would say to yourself, he's, uh, he's making.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Good decisions in his life.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
You might like to put him in charge of the
uh little league baseball finances, or or maybe have him
teach the children, or maybe hand him the keys and
have him run your.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Business for a week. What do you think he would do?
Speaker 5 (29:10):
What do you think he would do when he got
access to the bank account? Think he'd make good decisions
or bad decisions? Because things tend to occur in patterns. Now,
I was raised in a strict disciplinarian household. No shame
in that, actually very grateful for it. I was taught
(29:33):
that you will behave in patterns that become habits. You
will behave in individual actions that pile up to become habits,
and they become who you are. We didn't wear our
shoes in the house like a Japanese family. You took
(29:53):
off your shoes as you were entering the house. In
the garage, you set them to the side. You didn't
kick them off, set them to the side in an
orderly fashion. William mcgraven and speaking to University of Texas
graduating class several years ago. Admiral was it Admiral mcgraven,
General mcgraven, I can't remember, It doesn't matter, mcgraven said.
(30:18):
First thing you do in the morning and you wake up,
make your bed. Seems like such a simple act, but
it allows you to perform an action the first thing
you get up, and to get a positive result before
the craziness and chaos of the world overtakes you. You
(30:41):
have now accomplished something that denures to your own good.
You have set yourself up so that tonight you get
into a nicely made bed. You've not procrastinated, leaving the
task for later, wasting brain power on when you were
going to do it or whether you were going to
(31:03):
do it. You started with a win. You started by
doing something you did not want to do.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Do tough things.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I read a lot about successful people, and they all
have some version or another of do tough things.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's good for you.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Confront difficult things head on. You don't like to do something,
do that first, so you don't procrastinate and you don't
worry about it. Knock out the hard stuff first. When
I was a kid, it seems like a small thing,
But when I was a kid, there were things I
didn't want to eat on my plate. So I ate
(31:43):
them first, saving the good things because if you save,
if you eat the good things first, by the time
you get to that, you're already full.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
And it's so much harder do tough things.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Be the person you want to be and understand that
a lot of other people are not operating on that system.
So you're the general manager of your own team. Avoid
drafting bad people. They will be a problem. It's going
(32:22):
to be interesting to watch Shador Sanders in the draft.
It's going to be interesting to see whether the GMS
were right that he is toxic.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Very interesting to see him.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I don't wish him ill at all, but it is
going to culture counts, and you have a culture, you
have a personal brand, and you are part of a culture.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Your household, your company, your friend group and they may
be slightly different.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Please help us us let your bility.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Thank you. I didn't know
