1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show. Today's bonus podcast gets posted a 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: little earlier than usual because we already had it in 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: our little hands. We just finished our morning show, and 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: it comes from a nice woman named Monica. I can't 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: remember if I gave her last name before or not. 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, and it's probably easier if I don't. 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: I've come to that conclusion. Sweet woman who called in 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: a while back, and she was offering what I consider 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: the mommy perspective, mommy issues, mommy perspective, mommy experiences. Don't 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: take that the wrong way. That's meant to be the 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: ultimate compliment, because you see the love my kids have 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: for my mother, for my wife, and the love I 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: have for my mother and the way they have influenced 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: my life. I think that mommy issues and parent issues, 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: our elderly parents, and small business issues are at the 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: very heart of everything we do as a country. And 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: the further we get from that, the further we get 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: from government meeting the needs of the public that the 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: public actually needs them to meet. And this is why 20 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: you end up sending money off to Ukraine and your 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: veterans can't get help at the VA. So when she 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: called in, and had such interesting things to say. I 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: sent her an email after she sent an email after 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: us saying she enjoyed the conversation, and I said, hey, 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: talk to your husband and your kids. Why don't you 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: think about doing some more content. I think your perspective 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: is unique. I think the idea of a woman who 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: was in the workforce and then left to raise kids, 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: and who's trying to help her husband succeed and her 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: children succeed and her family be happy. I think this 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: is a perspective that people in the news media aren't sharing, 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: and politicians aren't sharing, but a lot of our listeners are. 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: And so I asked her to work through a little 34 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: intro and she did that, and we went back and 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: forth a few times, and I said, well, why don't 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: you just create some content and we'll put it up 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: as podcasts and let's see what it does. Let's see 38 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: if it resonates with people. Let's see if some people 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: say to me, I'm delighted to hear what she has 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: to say, I'd like to hear more. So she did. Now, 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: before you're too hard on her, I want you to 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: understand I talk for a living Trump talks for a living. 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: Rush talked for a living. It's very difficult for a 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: person to begin doing this, to share from your heart. 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: So I told her, if you feel better, write it 46 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: down and read from it until you get more comfortable 47 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: speaking extemporaneously. And so you will notice she's reading, but 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: it's things that she wrote. Anyway, give her a listen, 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: because we want to encourage more voices, not fewer, and 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: from a more diverse background. I think it's pretty darn good. 51 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: And more importantly, it's authentic, it's real, it's legitimate, and 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: we need more of that. So here we go. 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: As we finish the Olympics this week, we can truly 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: say that these were a historic olympiad, using a word 55 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: that the left flecks to use. We witness firsthand the 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: dangers and the sad outcome of having genetic males participating 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: in female sports, which is why while I was on 58 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: social media today, it really shocked me and saddened me 59 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: to see female athletes who have decided to donate their 60 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: hard earnings to the Kamala Harris campaign. Now, this is 61 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: their right, this is their freedom to do so, but 62 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: doing so is just such evidence that their support is 63 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: not based on policy, but it's truly based on identity politics, 64 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: which is what is going to be the downfall of 65 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: our amazing country. I just find it so hard to 66 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: believe that female athletes could vote for women that helped 67 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: change a policy Title X that has been around for 68 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: more than fifty years, that was a pivotal moment for 69 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: feminism to protect women against sexual discrimination and federally funded 70 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: education and their programs, that they could vote for someone 71 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: who is willing to strip away all of women chances 72 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: for collegiate scholarships and a possible spot a future Olympic 73 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: team and a chance for metal. It's clear that no 74 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 2: woman's sport is safe anymore. We've only seen it happen 75 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: in a handful of sports thus far, but none of 76 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: them are immune. And a vote for Harris administration is 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: a clear tell of the world and the female athletes 78 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: that we're okay with men and women's sports. And this 79 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: is not women supporting women, which is a common phrase 80 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: I see on public media today. This is women supporting 81 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: one woman at the cost of many. And I know, 82 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: I know I have said that before one I've called 83 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: I know that this is a common phrase for me, 84 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: but it is that important for me, and recently in 85 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: a Bible study, we were talking about Hebrew language, Hebrew literature, 86 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: and that when the Hebrews found it important, they didn't 87 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: have punctuations so that they would repeat a word twice, 88 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: They would repeat a phrase twice, so that way in 89 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: their reading they knew that if something was said twice 90 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: in a row, it was that important. And that is 91 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: how passionate I am about this topic, and not just me. 92 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: I talk with my friends. I talk with other mothers. 93 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: I talk with the fathers who have daughters who are 94 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: so concerned and have fear about this very issue. This 95 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: is why they're choosing to homeschool, this is why people 96 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: are going to private education. I myself have pulled my 97 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: kids from public school into private education, and we live 98 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: in an area with really good public education. But the 99 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: policies are what are making these changes. It's to protect 100 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: the innocence of children. And it's the importance of women's sports. 101 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: And despite all the negativity that we have seen in 102 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: the Olympiad, this Olympics, this year, there has been so 103 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: much good that has also come for women's sports. They 104 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: have been able to show these young girls how amazing 105 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: women athletes can be and that has been so important 106 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 2: for me. I have loved seeing all the mother athletes. 107 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: They have shed a light for young women to show 108 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: them that you can be a mom and you can 109 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: still go for your Olympic dream. You can still go 110 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: for any dream that you have. Motherhood does not curtail 111 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: that for you. I've loved that so many of the 112 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: female athletes that they've talked about have college degrees. They've 113 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: pursued higher education. This is great for young women. I 114 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: love that there were pregnant athletes out there, and I 115 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: love that American women athletes have created lounges for their 116 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: families and all the families of women from other countries 117 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: that they could bring their children. They could bring their families, 118 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: They could sit with them before they competed. They could 119 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: their children could witness what their mothers were doing. 120 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: You liked the Michael Berry Showing podcast, Please tell one friend, 121 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: and if you're so inclined, write a nice review of 122 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: our podcast.
