Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The mom said, I did a half assed job of
trying to describe what most women are doing all day
and why they don't have time to focus on what's
going on with DC. I thought I did a pretty
good job of explaining that I don't understand women. I
don't understand most men, and I am one, all right,
(00:56):
I'll do my best. I think that most women, not all.
I think that most women wake up in the morning
feeling well, here's the problem, and this is what I
didn't want to say, But since you've jabbed me about it,
I'm gonna address this. If I claim to say, if
(01:19):
I claim that this is what most men feel and
go through and do, I don't get a bunch of
men going you don't know, even if that's not their
life or their thoughts. But women have this hang up
that we don't understand them because we don't have a
(01:40):
period and we don't give birth, and we're not a
mommy and we're not a And I was trying to
acknowledge that without saying it. But since you're gonna, for
some reason, make a big deal out of this. Here's
what I would say most women, most not all, but
most women are.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
They wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And they have an a in their heart and a
frenetic mind as to is everybody in my pack okay?
Are my children okay? Is my husband okay? Or at
least are my children okay? And then they begin the
(02:18):
process that most men don't go through, and that is
getting their kids up, dressed, fed, prepared, off to school,
and worrying. I think women spend a lot of time worrying.
It's natural. They're the primary caretaker. God plants that seed
(02:39):
in them. Worrying about their kids, whether their kids are
okay mentally, physically, whether they're socially adjusted, how they're doing
in school, all these things they worry about their kids,
and I think that occupies a lot of energy, a
lot of energy. And then, depending on their relationship, some
(03:02):
women more or less than others, getting their husband ready
to go to work if they work outside the home,
getting themselves ready for work, which is a much bigger
ordeal than it is for men. Worrying about what they're
going to wear, how they're going to look, never feeling
like they look good. Women never think they look good,
(03:25):
and then you've got to look just like men do
in the mirror at I.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Don't look as good as I used to.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And that's true for most people, and it will continue
to be true until the day we die. That's the
nature of the process. It's true in every species. And
so then there's all that. Then there's trying to cram
oneself into an outfit we both we bought ten or
twenty years ago, and she's trying to make that fit.
(03:52):
She doesn't feel like she looks good. She's looking in
the mirror. She's starting to run late. She's got to
get there. She's hungry and late and worried, and so
now she's got to get into the office or the
classroom or wherever she's worked, the hospital. So she's going
in and you see it on their face. Most women
(04:15):
when they come, you know, buzzing into the workplace, they
look like they you know, they've just been through a
roller coaster ride and now they have to start to work.
So you can kind of see that this is an
all encompassing thing. There's not a lot of time the
way political consultants and politicians in media do to stop
(04:37):
and ponder what Trump's up to or what the government's
up to, or whether you know this regulation will affect us.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
In this way. And then there is the workday.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They're the first call when the kid's six, so they
got to go get the kid and bring them home.
They're the first call when the kid's in trouble at school,
or they got to call the school because somebody's picking
on their kid, or the teacher is bothering their kid.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, Lord knows what else is going on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They tend to take more care of what's going on
at home and with the parents, so they got to
check on their parents during all of this. They tend
to be more nurturing and empathetic toward their fellow workers,
so they'll borrow problems. A lot of women will borrow problems.
So if there's especially if there's another woman in the workplace,
and they'll worry about you know, she's unhappy in her marriage,
(05:25):
or she's unhappy as a parent, or she needs advice.
They love, love, love to worry over another woman and
give them advice. Men won't do this. We are crass,
we're individualistic. You see this in a lot of species
where the male doesn't have time for the pack he's
out for him. He wants to eat and have sex
and then sleep, and that's kind of his thing, whereas
(05:47):
you've got the female who's keeping this whole species alive.
It's how we're built, right, God, God made us this way.
You don't need to tell me that you're the exception
to the rule. There's an exception to every rule, okay,
but by and large these things are true.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And so then she finishes her work day.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
She's beat, her makeup is worn off, she's hungry, but
she knows that eating too much will make her fat.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
She doesn't want to be fat.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Most people struggle with fat a lot of their time
and how they look a lot of their time. In fact,
we were talking about it. Ramon thought we should coming
up for the last two segments.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think we will.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Jim Mudd, our creative director, really liked an interview we
did this morning. I was talking I don't remember what
brought it up, but I was talking about massive weight
loss and how if you talk to somebody who's had
massive weight loss, it's like they've.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Won the lottery.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know, most Americans, I don't know most a lot
of Americans struggle with weight and they don't feel like
they look good. But more importantly, they know that it's
a affecting their health. Right, they got high blood pressure,
they've got their heart doctors tell.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Him they need to lose weight. There's all these things that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know, when a lot of people smoke cigarettes, the
doctors would harass you about stopping smoking cigarettes. But and
people could stop. It's hard, but they could stop. Then
the trade off is they put on weight. But people
that are carrying extra weight. Oh, I know what it was.
Jelly Roll did an interview with Joe Rogan and Jelly
(07:30):
Roll has lost three hundred pounds and he was talking
about he went for a run in the rain or
a walk in the rain. The first day you know
he's going to start an exercise program, he goes for
a walk in the rain. His wife said, you know,
you know what, why don't you start on It was
a Tuesday. Boy, he said, don't you start tomorrow when
it's not raining. And he went out went for the
walk anyway, because he knew if he didn't start now,
(07:52):
he never would. And he didn't realize how worried his
family was over him. So when he's coming back at
the end of his ten thousand steps, which he was
to term to do even in the rain, and he's
coming up the.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Hill as he crosses.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
As he crests the hill, his family is waiting on
his porch and they're cheering for him, and he got
so choked up. Hell, I got choked up watching it,
thinking that they're all rooting for him.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And he told that story.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Anyway, we had a guy that called in today about
losing three hundred and fifty pounds, and I thought it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Was very inspiring. And I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We're going to play that at least in the last segment,
maybe the last two.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
We'll see how emailing me and saying, yes, she's gone
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Painting a bleak picture. It's not that bad, not meant
to be that bad. All I'm trained to say is
that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
If you live in d C and you work in DC,
you think the people back home are idiots because they
(08:54):
don't know the name of the senator of their state
or what bill passed or what's happening. They're all idiots.
They're not idiots. They're busy living their lives. Life is
not easy. You've got your personal life. You've got the
people you care for, the people you take care of,
the company you work for, or the company you lead.
(09:17):
These are all things that take a lot of our
time and energy. We don't have a lot left over
for this cottage industry that has taken over our country
called politics. It was never designed to be that way.
Quite the opposite. The farmer, the surveyor the mercantil owner
(09:38):
was supposed to put down his shovel, walk down and
serve the same way you would for a homeown association
president or school board member do his public duty because
it had to be done and then come home. And
we allowed it to happen. People get up there and
(10:02):
won't leave and get rich off of it. Vote out
John Cornyn in the state of Texas, period into story.
He's been there too damn long. We need term limits.
You've got term limits. It's called elections. You keep voting
for your same incumbents. But then you say you can't
(10:22):
help yourself. You want you want a system that doesn't
allow you who to choose for, who to choose to
vote for, Just choose not to vote for the incumbent.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It ain't hard.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Democrats have been trying to make affordability an issue, all
the while ignoring the actual root cause of the rising prices.
President Trump put the blame where it belonged, at the
foot of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's who caused all this.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Here at home, we're bringing our ecouontomy back from the
brink of ruin to last administration and their allies in
Congress looted our treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up
prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am
bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast.
Let's look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car
(11:16):
prices rose twenty two percent and in many states thirty
percent or more. Gasoline rose thirty to fifty percent. Hotel
rates rose thirty seven percent, airfares rose thirty one percent.
Now under our leadership, they are all coming down, and
coming down fast. Democrat politicians also sent the cost of.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Grocery storing, but we are solving that too.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down thirty three
percent compared to the Biden last year. The price of
eggs is down eighty two percent since March, and everything
else is falling rapidly and it's not done yet, but boy,
are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's going on.
(12:00):
Just some of the efforts that we have underway. You
will see in your Wallace and bank accounts in the
new year.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's a very very smart presentation. When you talk about
the growth of GDP or the growth of debt or
the growth of the deficit, that's a number that doesn't
mean anything to people. When you talk about the cost
of a Thanksgiving turkey, every red blooded American bought a
(12:28):
Thanksgiving turkey. By the way, Ramon, what is up with
these people who don't serve turkey on Thanksgiving? There are
more and more people doing this. I think this is
a decay in our society. I want you to identify yourself.
I want you to resolve you're never.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Going to do this. I've got buddies who.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Have family traditions where they barbecue on Thanksgiving. I had
a listener a couple of weeks ago saying they were
coming to Houston because they're getting cancer track MD Anderson
and that their tradition is they eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I looked at the name. It didn't seem to be Chinese.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I asked, and they said, no, we just like to
eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving. Now I'll tell you where
that started. Chinamen open on Christmas because they don't celebrate Christmas.
So if it's kind I think that's kind of a
Seinfeld or Section the City kind of deal. Like everybody knows,
you know, because what happens is people live in the South,
(13:32):
they go to work on Wall Street, or they go
to work in Hollywood, or they go to work on
one of the coasts, and they don't go home for Thanksgiving,
so they're there alone. So they end up going to
whatever is open on Christmas, and that's the Chinese food restaurant.
But I'm hoping the President will decree that it is
required that everybody must eat turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving
(13:54):
Day and nothing else. I think that would be a
good positive move. Like his move on marijuana today, he's
a good, solid move. President Trump laying out a very
popular twenty twenty six year campaign year proposal, the largest
tax cuts in American history.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Next year, you.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Will also see the results of the largest tax cuts
in American history that were really accomplished through our great, big,
beautiful bill, Perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress.
We wrapped twelve different bills up into one beautiful bill
that includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
(14:37):
and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
Under these cuts, many families will be saving between eleven
thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year, and next spring
is projected to be the largest tax refund season of
all time.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, the media won't tell you that, They'll just focus
on mean tweets. And then Trump talked about something that's
kind of an underground constituency doesn't get enough attention. That
is active duty troops in this country, active duty service
members in this country.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He announced what he called the Warrior Dividend. Check tonight.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I am also proud to announce that more than one thousand,
four hundred fifty thousand think of this, one million, four
hundred and fifty thousand military service members will receive a
special we call Warrior dividend before Christmas, a Warrior dividend
in honor of our nations founding in seventeen seventy six,
(15:44):
we are sending every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and
seventy six dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
We made a lot more money.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Than anybody thought because of tariff's and the bill helped
us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military, and
I say congratulations everybody. And by the way, we now
have record enlistened in our military. And last year we
had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military's history.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What a difference a year, mix.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
What a difference in elections from your vote.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Matters today to the colonial House apartments and received a
free and we're recorded.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
The greatest supergroup of all time courses the Hogward But
of the great supergroups, I'm gonna tell you something. If
that song right there spoke to you, that version of
that song, I will tell you this, so Charlie Pride number.
But that group is called the Texas Tornadoes. And there
is a lot about Texas. If you're not from Texas,
(17:01):
and I'm going to tell you would really surprise you
because people think of Texas as Audi Murphy as you know,
John Wayne and the Alamo and all that is true,
that is Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's very Texas.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
They think of a cowboy and a horse and a dusty,
flat prairie tumbleweeds, land man. All of that is true.
But Texas is so much more than just that. That's
that's the stock. Right after that, you're cutting up stuff
(17:39):
and putting it in there for color and flavor and texture.
That song right there encompasses to meet what Texas is
to me, because you're getting the influence of the different
groups that make the state special. It's called Conjunto music,
(18:01):
which is interestingly, interestingly enough, a fusion of German music
and a Mexican style of music called Northano and conjunto
was performed by both white and Mexican and Tejano artists,
(18:22):
and it kind of fused together and it became something
that went mainstream that is neither distinctly Texan, nor distinctly Mexican,
nor distinctly German. And that's what makes it so damn cool.
And you're getting all of those elements in there. The instrumentation,
that the arrangement, the cover of a traditional, very very
(18:46):
country song by a country artist who also happened to
be black, who also happened to start his professional life
in the Negro leagues.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Charlie Proude is no end of fascinating.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I think it's from Mississippi originally, but the group is
called the Texas Tornadoes, and they're considered a Tejano supergroup
and uh, and it's it's four guys that are legends
that are probably not known uh as widely as as
I would hope they would be named.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Freddie Fender one of my all time favorites from South Texas.
He's from not really from Corpus. I think he's from
sam Benito. Uh, I'm not sure he was. He was
Baltimar Webb, though you had the good sense to change
his name to Freddy Fender. But so you have Freddie Fender. Uh,
don't interrupt, merong, Doug som Augie Myers. I always forget
(19:39):
Augie Myers, but I remembered him now. And who oh
Flaco Flaco hum it is? And so you've got you've
got Mexican, you've got conjunto, You've got have you got Mexican,
you got German, You've got uh a little rock in there,
you've got some country. The Tornadoes performed on wasn't Letterman,
(20:01):
Wasn't I think it was? Maybe it was Letterman? And
I think they had a two Night run. I watched
this on YouTube a year or so ago. This was
a long time ago, and you could tell whoever the
host was. It wasn't Carson. I want to say it
was Letterman. You could tell whoever the host was didn't
get them. So somebody who was booking had the good
sense to go, hey, here's a man you wouldn't know about.
(20:24):
But a certain sector, a certain segment of society will
be impressed that you knew who they were. And you know,
they kind of went up in my esteem for doing that.
I thought it was cool. But they're called the Texas Tornadoes.
Why did I tell you that? I don't even know.
I don't know that I needed to, But since Ramon
played it and I'm in a good mood, I thought
we'd do that.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
President Trump said something in his speech last night. This
is going to be clip five zero two.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Roman.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I forgot to get this earlier. You know, I was
talking about the average life of a man and woman,
and I didn't mean it to sound bleak. Apparently I did.
A lot of you said that. That's not my point.
What I was trying to say is we're all busy
in the moment. We're trying to get through this moment.
We're trying to survive, keep it all together. But we
(21:10):
have a lingering paul over the nation that things are
not good. We may not be able to tell you
why they're not good. Using statistical economic data, wage rates,
savings rates. We know that credit card debt is higher
(21:32):
than's ever been. We know that student loan debt is
higher that's ever been. Whatever that number is, I can
tell you you're going to forget it in two minutes.
But we have a sense that there is a sense
of impending doom, that things are not good in America.
And we've been told that by the Democrats who were
in the process of making it. So President Trump said something,
(21:57):
and I think this is important. Every leader should inspire
their people, not with false promises, not with silly slogans.
There has to be action to a company. But but
Trump does something that should not be as unique as
it is. It should be more common, and that is
(22:18):
that he says this country has a big future. In
nineteen eighty four, Ed Rollins ran the Reagan campaign and
the messaging was it's morning in America and the idea
was four years into this presidency, I'm asking for four more.
This is the start of America, not the end. There's
(22:40):
a certain hint of that in what Trump says here tonight.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
After eleven months, our border is secure, Inflation has stopped,
wages are up, prices are down, Our nation is strong,
America is respected, and our country is back, stronger than
ever before. They're boys for an economic boom the likes
of which the world has never seen.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
America is back, that's what we want. The left doesn't
want that. The left thinks that a bold, proud America
is arrogant. They resent it, they don't like it. They
want it to fail.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
They want America to fail. They want you to fail.
They want me to fail. They want Trump to fail.
They're doubtful, they're guilt ridden, they're angry, they're bitter, they're resentful.
They want this nation to fail, and they've done everything
they can to make it so.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
But we won't let them.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And finally we have a president who we can be
proud of, who is proud of us, and who is
proud of America. Just stop for a moment in the
midst of everything else and enjoy this moment, because that
hadn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The Michael Berry Show. Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Which you note puts me in a good mood every time,
and Texas Tornado is playing it no less im and
then we get to close the show with Keith Whitley.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This is a good day. Thank you, Reymanning. If I
forget to thank you, Stranger to the Rain, I cooks
botty bad shadow.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
President Trump signed an executive order earlier today that would
reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This will ease federal restrictions.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It is not full legalization, but it is closer to decriminalization.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I want to emphasize that the order I am about
to sign not the legalization or does it legalize marijuana
in any way, shape or form. In no way sanctions
it's use as a recreational drug, has nothing to do
with it.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
At the same time, the facts.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Compel the federal government to recognize that marijuana can be
legitimate in terms of medical applications when carefully administered. In
some cases, this may include the use as a substitute
for addictive and potentially lethal opioid painkillers, and they cause
tremendous problems. This can do it in a much lesser way.
(25:38):
Can make people feel much better. This reclassification order will
make it far easier to conduct marijuana related medical research,
allowing us to study benefits, potential dangers, and future treatments.
It's going to have a tremendously positive impact. I believe.
(25:59):
We're also asking Congress to reconsider a classification of hemp
derived CBD to ensure seniors can access CBD products they
have found beneficial for pain and other reasons.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Here's the goop from it. Who was that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I am well aware that a number of you are
going to disagree with my position on this, and you're
going to say, Michael, dope is bad. People ought not
to do it. And all I ask this is all
I've ever asked. You don't have to agree with me.
(26:37):
You can momentarily hate me for a position I have
on this or that. That's part of what I do.
I make statements. You get to react, But all I
ask you to do is think anew about this. You
know I didn't care for spinach when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I like it now. There was a point where I
tried it again and I liked it now. As we grow,
as we.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Have experiences, sometimes we notice things. Sometimes we grow to
different opinions on things. Well, let me ask you this,
is it really your job to tell people adults what
they can and cannot.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Do, is it?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And if your answer is yes, because I want you
to ask yourself if that is a freedom loving position,
because you say you're freedom loving, but you don't believe
that a person in the comfort of their own home
should be able to use a product a drug. And
(27:51):
then you say, yeah, I get this one a lot. Yeah,
but it makes you not work as hard. Okay, eating
too much? Are we going to make that illegal? Sort
of staying up all night?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
We're going to make that illegal.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Are we really in the business of passing laws to
prevent people from doing things that will make them less productive?
We're now the productivity police. That's not freedom.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Good grief. Do you hear yourself? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
The next one is, well, Michael, I'm upset because my
son is hooked on her and my son took this drow.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
He had an overdose.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
He had a.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Properly grown marijuana will not cause overdoses nor addiction.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I don't care if you agree with me. I believe
this to be true.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I can guarantee you that there's about a ninety nine
percent likelihood that I've spent more time studying the issue
than you have.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh will you just do dope?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Actually I don't, but I would. In fact, if I
could make it work for me, I would move from.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Alcohol to that because it doesn't destroy your liver in
a second, I would do it. I'd even risk it
being illegal to do it. But it doesn't do anything
for me. I tried the edibles and I did twenty
milligrams because I'm stupid, because I didn't know how many
(29:27):
milligrams to dose. And I did four pods when each
one was a five, and it gave me the worst trip.
And I'm not a tripper.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm not a guy.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I don't do psychedelic drugs. I like to be in
control at all times. I'm one of those people had
a horrible trip and freaked me out. So then I
tried it later because I had a doctor who told me,
you know, it'd be better for you.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
You get home at night, you're wound up. You're wired up.
You have trouble going to sleep. You have trouble stop reading,
stop thinking, stop writing, stop recording.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
But you got to go to bed so you can
get up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I had a doctor tell me, I think you'd be
a great candidate to smoke a joint or do a
do an edible didn't do anything for me, and so
what's the point? And so that was kind of where
I left it. I can dose bourbon, beer or red wine.
Bourbon's my preference, and it gives me a night, it
(30:24):
calms me down.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
People judge other people's what they do with their time
because you're so perfect. But let me say this, I
don't understand how somebody gets to be six hundred pounds
like my guest this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
But he did, and he's not a bad person.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
He's got compulsions, he's got neuroses, he's got cravings that
I don't have or that I'm able to control better.
You know, there are a lot of people who ended
up using marijuana CBD because they have had arthritis, and
they tried every drug that the pharmaceutical company could sell them,
(31:05):
and none of them gave them relief. You ever seen
somebody who's suffering. It's hurtful, it's it's it's it's it's
it's horrible to watch. I don't want to watch old
people suffer. I don't want to watch our veterans come
back from war and suffer when we've seen that marijuana
(31:25):
can help many of them. You know, there's a law
enforcement group called LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. My late
brother was not a member of LEAP because he was
still active duty. But my late brother said, if I
could be king, I'd outlaw alcohol and give out free
(31:45):
marijuana because everybody's calm, nobody wants to fight, nobody wants
to beat their their girlfriend up. You don't have to
agree with me on this point, but just all I'm
asking is actually think about it anew. The people who
told you maryor Ijana was so bad was the alcohol industry.
That's who's still doing. It's happening in Texas today we
had the lieutenant governor out claiming that it was reefer
(32:07):
madness all over again.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
You're gonna die. People are gonna die.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
People are gonna die from the synthetic crap that they
do in order to make it legal so they can
put it on the If you let this natural. You know,
my wife has a theory that we should eat natural herbs, spices, meats.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That's what we're meant to do.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That is a natural organic product, all this other stuff
we make in plants, we make using synthetics.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
We may, oh, that's horrible for you there. I don't
expect you to like my position on it, but that's
where I stand. Help us. Thank you, I mean, good night,
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The mom said, I did a half assed job of
trying to describe what most women are doing all day
and why they don't have time to focus on what's
going on with DC. I thought I did a pretty
good job of explaining that I don't understand women. I
don't understand most men, and I am one, all right,
(00:56):
I'll do my best. I think that most women, not all.
I think that most women wake up in the morning
feeling well, here's the problem, and this is what I
didn't want to say, But since you've jabbed me about it,
I'm gonna address this. If I claim to say, if
(01:19):
I claim that this is what most men feel and
go through and do, I don't get a bunch of
men going you don't know, even if that's not their
life or their thoughts. But women have this hang up
that we don't understand them because we don't have a
(01:40):
period and we don't give birth, and we're not a
mommy and we're not a And I was trying to
acknowledge that without saying it. But since you're gonna, for
some reason, make a big deal out of this. Here's
what I would say most women, most not all, but
most women are.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
They wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And they have an a in their heart and a
frenetic mind as to is everybody in my pack okay?
Are my children okay? Is my husband okay? Or at
least are my children okay? And then they begin the
(02:18):
process that most men don't go through, and that is
getting their kids up, dressed, fed, prepared, off to school,
and worrying. I think women spend a lot of time worrying.
It's natural. They're the primary caretaker. God plants that seed
(02:39):
in them. Worrying about their kids, whether their kids are
okay mentally, physically, whether they're socially adjusted, how they're doing
in school, all these things they worry about their kids,
and I think that occupies a lot of energy, a
lot of energy. And then, depending on their relationship, some
(03:02):
women more or less than others, getting their husband ready
to go to work if they work outside the home,
getting themselves ready for work, which is a much bigger
ordeal than it is for men. Worrying about what they're
going to wear, how they're going to look, never feeling
like they look good. Women never think they look good,
(03:25):
and then you've got to look just like men do
in the mirror at I.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Don't look as good as I used to.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And that's true for most people, and it will continue
to be true until the day we die. That's the
nature of the process. It's true in every species. And
so then there's all that. Then there's trying to cram
oneself into an outfit we both we bought ten or
twenty years ago, and she's trying to make that fit.
(03:52):
She doesn't feel like she looks good. She's looking in
the mirror. She's starting to run late. She's got to
get there. She's hungry and late and worried, and so
now she's got to get into the office or the
classroom or wherever she's worked, the hospital. So she's going
in and you see it on their face. Most women
(04:15):
when they come, you know, buzzing into the workplace, they
look like they you know, they've just been through a
roller coaster ride and now they have to start to work.
So you can kind of see that this is an
all encompassing thing. There's not a lot of time the
way political consultants and politicians in media do to stop
(04:37):
and ponder what Trump's up to or what the government's
up to, or whether you know this regulation will affect us.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
In this way. And then there is the workday.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They're the first call when the kid's six, so they
got to go get the kid and bring them home.
They're the first call when the kid's in trouble at school,
or they got to call the school because somebody's picking
on their kid, or the teacher is bothering their kid.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, Lord knows what else is going on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They tend to take more care of what's going on
at home and with the parents, so they got to
check on their parents during all of this. They tend
to be more nurturing and empathetic toward their fellow workers,
so they'll borrow problems. A lot of women will borrow problems.
So if there's especially if there's another woman in the workplace,
and they'll worry about you know, she's unhappy in her marriage,
(05:25):
or she's unhappy as a parent, or she needs advice.
They love, love, love to worry over another woman and
give them advice. Men won't do this. We are crass,
we're individualistic. You see this in a lot of species
where the male doesn't have time for the pack he's
out for him. He wants to eat and have sex
and then sleep, and that's kind of his thing, whereas
(05:47):
you've got the female who's keeping this whole species alive.
It's how we're built, right, God, God made us this way.
You don't need to tell me that you're the exception
to the rule. There's an exception to every rule, okay,
but by and large these things are true.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And so then she finishes her work day.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
She's beat, her makeup is worn off, she's hungry, but
she knows that eating too much will make her fat.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
She doesn't want to be fat.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Most people struggle with fat a lot of their time
and how they look a lot of their time. In fact,
we were talking about it. Ramon thought we should coming
up for the last two segments.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think we will.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Jim Mudd, our creative director, really liked an interview we
did this morning. I was talking I don't remember what
brought it up, but I was talking about massive weight
loss and how if you talk to somebody who's had
massive weight loss, it's like they've.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Won the lottery.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know, most Americans, I don't know most a lot
of Americans struggle with weight and they don't feel like
they look good. But more importantly, they know that it's
a affecting their health. Right, they got high blood pressure,
they've got their heart doctors tell.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Him they need to lose weight. There's all these things that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know, when a lot of people smoke cigarettes, the
doctors would harass you about stopping smoking cigarettes. But and
people could stop. It's hard, but they could stop. Then
the trade off is they put on weight. But people
that are carrying extra weight. Oh, I know what it was.
Jelly Roll did an interview with Joe Rogan and Jelly
(07:30):
Roll has lost three hundred pounds and he was talking
about he went for a run in the rain or
a walk in the rain. The first day you know
he's going to start an exercise program, he goes for
a walk in the rain. His wife said, you know,
you know what, why don't you start on It was
a Tuesday. Boy, he said, don't you start tomorrow when
it's not raining. And he went out went for the
walk anyway, because he knew if he didn't start now,
(07:52):
he never would. And he didn't realize how worried his
family was over him. So when he's coming back at
the end of his ten thousand steps, which he was
to term to do even in the rain, and he's
coming up the.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Hill as he crosses.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
As he crests the hill, his family is waiting on
his porch and they're cheering for him, and he got
so choked up. Hell, I got choked up watching it,
thinking that they're all rooting for him.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And he told that story.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Anyway, we had a guy that called in today about
losing three hundred and fifty pounds, and I thought it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Was very inspiring. And I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We're going to play that at least in the last segment,
maybe the last two.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
We'll see how emailing me and saying, yes, she's gone
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Painting a bleak picture. It's not that bad, not meant
to be that bad. All I'm trained to say is
that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
If you live in d C and you work in DC,
you think the people back home are idiots because they
(08:54):
don't know the name of the senator of their state
or what bill passed or what's happening. They're all idiots.
They're not idiots. They're busy living their lives. Life is
not easy. You've got your personal life. You've got the
people you care for, the people you take care of,
the company you work for, or the company you lead.
(09:17):
These are all things that take a lot of our
time and energy. We don't have a lot left over
for this cottage industry that has taken over our country
called politics. It was never designed to be that way.
Quite the opposite. The farmer, the surveyor the mercantil owner
(09:38):
was supposed to put down his shovel, walk down and
serve the same way you would for a homeown association
president or school board member do his public duty because
it had to be done and then come home. And
we allowed it to happen. People get up there and
(10:02):
won't leave and get rich off of it. Vote out
John Cornyn in the state of Texas, period into story.
He's been there too damn long. We need term limits.
You've got term limits. It's called elections. You keep voting
for your same incumbents. But then you say you can't
(10:22):
help yourself. You want you want a system that doesn't
allow you who to choose for, who to choose to
vote for, Just choose not to vote for the incumbent.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It ain't hard.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Democrats have been trying to make affordability an issue, all
the while ignoring the actual root cause of the rising prices.
President Trump put the blame where it belonged, at the
foot of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's who caused all this.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Here at home, we're bringing our ecouontomy back from the
brink of ruin to last administration and their allies in
Congress looted our treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up
prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am
bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast.
Let's look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car
(11:16):
prices rose twenty two percent and in many states thirty
percent or more. Gasoline rose thirty to fifty percent. Hotel
rates rose thirty seven percent, airfares rose thirty one percent.
Now under our leadership, they are all coming down, and
coming down fast. Democrat politicians also sent the cost of.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Grocery storing, but we are solving that too.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down thirty three
percent compared to the Biden last year. The price of
eggs is down eighty two percent since March, and everything
else is falling rapidly and it's not done yet, but boy,
are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's going on.
(12:00):
Just some of the efforts that we have underway. You
will see in your Wallace and bank accounts in the
new year.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's a very very smart presentation. When you talk about
the growth of GDP or the growth of debt or
the growth of the deficit, that's a number that doesn't
mean anything to people. When you talk about the cost
of a Thanksgiving turkey, every red blooded American bought a
(12:28):
Thanksgiving turkey. By the way, Ramon, what is up with
these people who don't serve turkey on Thanksgiving? There are
more and more people doing this. I think this is
a decay in our society. I want you to identify yourself.
I want you to resolve you're never.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Going to do this. I've got buddies who.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Have family traditions where they barbecue on Thanksgiving. I had
a listener a couple of weeks ago saying they were
coming to Houston because they're getting cancer track MD Anderson
and that their tradition is they eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I looked at the name. It didn't seem to be Chinese.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I asked, and they said, no, we just like to
eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving. Now I'll tell you where
that started. Chinamen open on Christmas because they don't celebrate Christmas.
So if it's kind I think that's kind of a
Seinfeld or Section the City kind of deal. Like everybody knows,
you know, because what happens is people live in the South,
(13:32):
they go to work on Wall Street, or they go
to work in Hollywood, or they go to work on
one of the coasts, and they don't go home for Thanksgiving,
so they're there alone. So they end up going to
whatever is open on Christmas, and that's the Chinese food restaurant.
But I'm hoping the President will decree that it is
required that everybody must eat turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving
(13:54):
Day and nothing else. I think that would be a
good positive move. Like his move on marijuana today, he's
a good, solid move. President Trump laying out a very
popular twenty twenty six year campaign year proposal, the largest
tax cuts in American history.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Next year, you.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Will also see the results of the largest tax cuts
in American history that were really accomplished through our great, big,
beautiful bill, Perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress.
We wrapped twelve different bills up into one beautiful bill
that includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
(14:37):
and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
Under these cuts, many families will be saving between eleven
thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year, and next spring
is projected to be the largest tax refund season of
all time.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, the media won't tell you that, They'll just focus
on mean tweets. And then Trump talked about something that's
kind of an underground constituency doesn't get enough attention. That
is active duty troops in this country, active duty service
members in this country.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He announced what he called the Warrior Dividend. Check tonight.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I am also proud to announce that more than one thousand,
four hundred fifty thousand think of this, one million, four
hundred and fifty thousand military service members will receive a
special we call Warrior dividend before Christmas, a Warrior dividend
in honor of our nations founding in seventeen seventy six,
(15:44):
we are sending every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and
seventy six dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
We made a lot more money.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Than anybody thought because of tariff's and the bill helped
us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military, and
I say congratulations everybody. And by the way, we now
have record enlistened in our military. And last year we
had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military's history.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What a difference a year, mix.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
What a difference in elections from your vote.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Matters today to the colonial House apartments and received a
free and we're recorded.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
The greatest supergroup of all time courses the Hogward But
of the great supergroups, I'm gonna tell you something. If
that song right there spoke to you, that version of
that song, I will tell you this, so Charlie Pride number.
But that group is called the Texas Tornadoes. And there
is a lot about Texas. If you're not from Texas,
(17:01):
and I'm going to tell you would really surprise you
because people think of Texas as Audi Murphy as you know,
John Wayne and the Alamo and all that is true,
that is Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's very Texas.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
They think of a cowboy and a horse and a dusty,
flat prairie tumbleweeds, land man. All of that is true.
But Texas is so much more than just that. That's
that's the stock. Right after that, you're cutting up stuff
(17:39):
and putting it in there for color and flavor and texture.
That song right there encompasses to meet what Texas is
to me, because you're getting the influence of the different
groups that make the state special. It's called Conjunto music,
(18:01):
which is interestingly, interestingly enough, a fusion of German music
and a Mexican style of music called Northano and conjunto
was performed by both white and Mexican and Tejano artists,
(18:22):
and it kind of fused together and it became something
that went mainstream that is neither distinctly Texan, nor distinctly Mexican,
nor distinctly German. And that's what makes it so damn cool.
And you're getting all of those elements in there. The instrumentation,
that the arrangement, the cover of a traditional, very very
(18:46):
country song by a country artist who also happened to
be black, who also happened to start his professional life
in the Negro leagues.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Charlie Proude is no end of fascinating.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I think it's from Mississippi originally, but the group is
called the Texas Tornadoes, and they're considered a Tejano supergroup
and uh, and it's it's four guys that are legends
that are probably not known uh as widely as as
I would hope they would be named.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Freddie Fender one of my all time favorites from South Texas.
He's from not really from Corpus. I think he's from
sam Benito. Uh, I'm not sure he was. He was
Baltimar Webb, though you had the good sense to change
his name to Freddy Fender. But so you have Freddie Fender. Uh,
don't interrupt, merong, Doug som Augie Myers. I always forget
(19:39):
Augie Myers, but I remembered him now. And who oh
Flaco Flaco hum it is? And so you've got you've
got Mexican, you've got conjunto, You've got have you got Mexican,
you got German, You've got uh a little rock in there,
you've got some country. The Tornadoes performed on wasn't Letterman,
(20:01):
Wasn't I think it was? Maybe it was Letterman? And
I think they had a two Night run. I watched
this on YouTube a year or so ago. This was
a long time ago, and you could tell whoever the
host was. It wasn't Carson. I want to say it
was Letterman. You could tell whoever the host was didn't
get them. So somebody who was booking had the good
sense to go, hey, here's a man you wouldn't know about.
(20:24):
But a certain sector, a certain segment of society will
be impressed that you knew who they were. And you know,
they kind of went up in my esteem for doing that.
I thought it was cool. But they're called the Texas Tornadoes.
Why did I tell you that? I don't even know.
I don't know that I needed to, But since Ramon
played it and I'm in a good mood, I thought
we'd do that.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
President Trump said something in his speech last night. This
is going to be clip five zero two.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Roman.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I forgot to get this earlier. You know, I was
talking about the average life of a man and woman,
and I didn't mean it to sound bleak. Apparently I did.
A lot of you said that. That's not my point.
What I was trying to say is we're all busy
in the moment. We're trying to get through this moment.
We're trying to survive, keep it all together. But we
(21:10):
have a lingering paul over the nation that things are
not good. We may not be able to tell you
why they're not good. Using statistical economic data, wage rates,
savings rates. We know that credit card debt is higher
(21:32):
than's ever been. We know that student loan debt is
higher that's ever been. Whatever that number is, I can
tell you you're going to forget it in two minutes.
But we have a sense that there is a sense
of impending doom, that things are not good in America.
And we've been told that by the Democrats who were
in the process of making it. So President Trump said something,
(21:57):
and I think this is important. Every leader should inspire
their people, not with false promises, not with silly slogans.
There has to be action to a company. But but
Trump does something that should not be as unique as
it is. It should be more common, and that is
(22:18):
that he says this country has a big future. In
nineteen eighty four, Ed Rollins ran the Reagan campaign and
the messaging was it's morning in America and the idea
was four years into this presidency, I'm asking for four more.
This is the start of America, not the end. There's
(22:40):
a certain hint of that in what Trump says here tonight.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
After eleven months, our border is secure, Inflation has stopped,
wages are up, prices are down, Our nation is strong,
America is respected, and our country is back, stronger than
ever before. They're boys for an economic boom the likes
of which the world has never seen.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
America is back, that's what we want. The left doesn't
want that. The left thinks that a bold, proud America
is arrogant. They resent it, they don't like it. They
want it to fail.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
They want America to fail. They want you to fail.
They want me to fail. They want Trump to fail.
They're doubtful, they're guilt ridden, they're angry, they're bitter, they're resentful.
They want this nation to fail, and they've done everything
they can to make it so.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
But we won't let them.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And finally we have a president who we can be
proud of, who is proud of us, and who is
proud of America. Just stop for a moment in the
midst of everything else and enjoy this moment, because that
hadn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The Michael Berry Show. Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Which you note puts me in a good mood every time,
and Texas Tornado is playing it no less im and
then we get to close the show with Keith Whitley.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
This is a good day. Thank you, Reymanning. If I
forget to thank you, Stranger to the Rain, I cooks
botty bad shadow.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
President Trump signed an executive order earlier today that would
reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This will ease federal restrictions.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It is not full legalization, but it is closer to decriminalization.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I want to emphasize that the order I am about
to sign not the legalization or does it legalize marijuana
in any way, shape or form. In no way sanctions
it's use as a recreational drug, has nothing to do
with it.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
At the same time, the facts.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Compel the federal government to recognize that marijuana can be
legitimate in terms of medical applications when carefully administered. In
some cases, this may include the use as a substitute
for addictive and potentially lethal opioid painkillers, and they cause
tremendous problems. This can do it in a much lesser way.
(25:38):
Can make people feel much better. This reclassification order will
make it far easier to conduct marijuana related medical research,
allowing us to study benefits, potential dangers, and future treatments.
It's going to have a tremendously positive impact. I believe.
(25:59):
We're also asking Congress to reconsider a classification of hemp
derived CBD to ensure seniors can access CBD products they
have found beneficial for pain and other reasons.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Here's the goop from it. Who was that?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I am well aware that a number of you are
going to disagree with my position on this, and you're
going to say, Michael, dope is bad. People ought not
to do it. And all I ask this is all
I've ever asked. You don't have to agree with me.
(26:37):
You can momentarily hate me for a position I have
on this or that. That's part of what I do.
I make statements. You get to react, But all I
ask you to do is think anew about this. You
know I didn't care for spinach when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I like it now. There was a point where I
tried it again and I liked it now. As we grow,
as we.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Have experiences, sometimes we notice things. Sometimes we grow to
different opinions on things. Well, let me ask you this,
is it really your job to tell people adults what
they can and cannot.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Do, is it?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And if your answer is yes, because I want you
to ask yourself if that is a freedom loving position,
because you say you're freedom loving, but you don't believe
that a person in the comfort of their own home
should be able to use a product a drug. And
(27:51):
then you say, yeah, I get this one a lot. Yeah,
but it makes you not work as hard. Okay, eating
too much? Are we going to make that illegal? Sort
of staying up all night?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
We're going to make that illegal.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Are we really in the business of passing laws to
prevent people from doing things that will make them less productive?
We're now the productivity police. That's not freedom.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Good grief. Do you hear yourself? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
The next one is, well, Michael, I'm upset because my
son is hooked on her and my son took this drow.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
He had an overdose.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
He had a.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Properly grown marijuana will not cause overdoses nor addiction.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I don't care if you agree with me. I believe
this to be true.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I can guarantee you that there's about a ninety nine
percent likelihood that I've spent more time studying the issue
than you have.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh will you just do dope?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Actually I don't, but I would. In fact, if I
could make it work for me, I would move from.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Alcohol to that because it doesn't destroy your liver in
a second, I would do it. I'd even risk it
being illegal to do it. But it doesn't do anything
for me. I tried the edibles and I did twenty
milligrams because I'm stupid, because I didn't know how many
(29:27):
milligrams to dose. And I did four pods when each
one was a five, and it gave me the worst trip.
And I'm not a tripper.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm not a guy.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I don't do psychedelic drugs. I like to be in
control at all times. I'm one of those people had
a horrible trip and freaked me out. So then I
tried it later because I had a doctor who told me,
you know, it'd be better for you.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
You get home at night, you're wound up. You're wired up.
You have trouble going to sleep. You have trouble stop reading,
stop thinking, stop writing, stop recording.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
But you got to go to bed so you can
get up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I had a doctor tell me, I think you'd be
a great candidate to smoke a joint or do a
do an edible didn't do anything for me, and so
what's the point? And so that was kind of where
I left it. I can dose bourbon, beer or red wine.
Bourbon's my preference, and it gives me a night, it
(30:24):
calms me down.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
People judge other people's what they do with their time
because you're so perfect. But let me say this, I
don't understand how somebody gets to be six hundred pounds
like my guest this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
But he did, and he's not a bad person.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
He's got compulsions, he's got neuroses, he's got cravings that
I don't have or that I'm able to control better.
You know, there are a lot of people who ended
up using marijuana CBD because they have had arthritis, and
they tried every drug that the pharmaceutical company could sell them,
(31:05):
and none of them gave them relief. You ever seen
somebody who's suffering. It's hurtful, it's it's it's it's it's
it's horrible to watch. I don't want to watch old
people suffer. I don't want to watch our veterans come
back from war and suffer when we've seen that marijuana
(31:25):
can help many of them. You know, there's a law
enforcement group called LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. My late
brother was not a member of LEAP because he was
still active duty. But my late brother said, if I
could be king, I'd outlaw alcohol and give out free
(31:45):
marijuana because everybody's calm, nobody wants to fight, nobody wants
to beat their their girlfriend up. You don't have to
agree with me on this point, but just all I'm
asking is actually think about it anew. The people who
told you maryor Ijana was so bad was the alcohol industry.
That's who's still doing. It's happening in Texas today we
had the lieutenant governor out claiming that it was reefer
(32:07):
madness all over again.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
You're gonna die. People are gonna die.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
People are gonna die from the synthetic crap that they
do in order to make it legal so they can
put it on the If you let this natural. You know,
my wife has a theory that we should eat natural herbs, spices, meats.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That's what we're meant to do.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
That is a natural organic product, all this other stuff
we make in plants, we make using synthetics.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
We may, oh, that's horrible for you there. I don't
expect you to like my position on it, but that's
where I stand. Help us. Thank you, I mean, good night,
