Most of the 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: people covering that campaign were not particularly knowledgeable about the 5 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: past and didn't you know, may may not have even 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: known that.

We 29 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 7: bleed the same blood, we share the same home, and 30 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 7: we salute the same great American flag. 31 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: under God. 33 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 7: So Jews and Muslims and Catholics and Evangelicals and Mormons, 34 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 7: and they're all joining our cores and large numbers, larger 35 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 7: than anyone has ever seen in this country before, larger 36 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 7: than they've ever seen in any country. 37 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 3: And the Republican Party has really become the party of inclusion. 38 00:02:51,919 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: And that's something very nice about that. Fred writes, I 39 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: was listening to your show this morning regarding these left 40 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: wing liberals and your description of them. We have one 41 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: here in the Woodlands directly behind us. They moved down 42 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 3: from Pennsylvania a few years ago. Previous neighbor, which we liked, 43 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: said that the buyers of the house, the current occupants, 44 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: that the woman was a little weird. Sure enough, last 45 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: week they put out a Harrison all red sign in 46 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: their corner lot, offsetting our Trump and Cruise signs. They 47 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: get to see our signs every time they pull in 48 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: their driveway. Well, this Monday they added a couple transgender 49 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: rainbow signs. One says unity for all, not division. We 50 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: think their high school kids gay. When I see the 51 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: lady walking her dog, she definitely appears to be in 52 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: a bad mood. I wish they'd moved back to Pennsylvania. 53 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 5: No, you don't. 54 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: Pennsylvania is a swing state. Just outvote them here. You 55 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: do not want them back in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, 56 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: New Arizona, Georgia. Keep them right where they are, where 57 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: you can keep an eye on them. Stay vigilant, keep 58 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: an eye on them. So here's what I've noticed happening 59 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: a lot of late, more and more people who have 60 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: a kid who's gay or transgender. Or is it about 61 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: to rain? We sound like an old couple, but Nandita 62 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: and I were on a walk and she pointed out 63 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 3: that we haven't had any rain in a while. And 64 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: I got the pondering on it, and I said, you're right, 65 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: we haven't had any rain in a while. Hmm, we 66 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: probably do for some rain. Yeah, So there you go. 67 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: It just got dark outside, as the reason I brought 68 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 3: it up. So I've noticed that as more and more 69 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 3: folks are having a kid, whether that's still at home 70 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 3: or off at college or in the workplace, that's coming 71 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: out as gay or transgender. They struggle with this and 72 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 3: their kid. I think what happens is this is going 73 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: to take a moment, So you know, let me get 74 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: the calls in, because I've given a lot of thought. 75 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 3: I've noticed how people start changing their politics over this issue, 76 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: and I think, very irrationally, I'll get to that moment 77 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: these folks have been holding. Let me get into the calls. Daisy, 78 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: you're up. 79 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 6: Michael, Hi, Hi, Michael. I just wanted to make a 80 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: hilarious point. Why in the world would anyone want to 81 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 6: vote for what's his name rolling on his colon is 82 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 6: all red? Is that his name anyway? Because he looks 83 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 6: like a red angry bird or baby gerald on the 84 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 6: symptoms with that unibrow. Good gosh, guy, trim the unibrow. 85 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 6: And besides, he brings nothing to the table. He doesn't 86 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 6: have a resume of accomplishments. I haven't seen anything, and 87 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 6: I don't want people coming up trying to be voted 88 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 6: for just to give them a chance. I want someone 89 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 6: with experience. Show me what you've done for the community 90 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 6: for America, not just a certain group of people. Well, anyway, 91 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 6: that's enough to say that guy scares me. 92 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: He should he should. What makes Colin all Wrong perfect 93 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: for democrats is he's not very smart and he's very controllable. 94 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: He is a face. He is an actor. You understand 95 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: when you watch a movie that Marky Mark is not 96 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: Marcus Latrelle. Okay, he didn't have to fall one thousand 97 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: feet and get shot to hell and spend the next 98 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: twenty years of his life recovering and in constant pain. 99 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: He played that role, you get that. But he played 100 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: the role well. And Marcus and his brother Morgan were 101 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: on not on screen, on site what do you call 102 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: it where they film? He was on set on location advising. 103 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: He came and stayed with Marcus. He learned Marcus's mannerisms, 104 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 3: He learned the way he talked to his fellow seals. 105 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: He learned what was going through his mind as he's 106 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: as he's trying to get away from the Taliban. He 107 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: played the part and played it very well. Colin Allrong 108 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: is playing the part. He's playing the part of a 109 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: moderate guy who's just like you who played ball. I mean, 110 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: he played ball ballplayers.

Ray Rice beating a It's 118 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: just the nature of the beast. Well, he is very malleable. 119 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: And the people who use our government for the purposes, 120 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 3: for their purposes, they don't want strong personalities. I learned 121 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: this when I was They don't want strong they don't 122 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 3: want leadership. They run things, you stay out.

No, I don't know. 146 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: They did the I don't know what you call that 147 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: where they put the gel on you and then they 148 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: rub around on your chest and all that stuff. I 149 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: don't know if that costs extra or not. But that 150 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: was nice. Yeah, funny thing is. No, it was not 151 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: a pretty girl, it was, but it was a very 152 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 3: nice Pakistani man. He's not really Pakistani. He grew up 153 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: in Essex, England. His name is Harun. But but he 154 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: talked the entire time. And I have come to learn 155 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: that people listen to the show and they don't get 156 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: talk to me. I talk to them and they want 157 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: to offer their side of the conversation, so I try 158 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: to be patient about that. Plus I'm stuck on the 159 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: table with Gel all over me, and I'd like him 160 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: to figure out if I got anything. This is my 161 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: annual checkup. If there's something wrong, I want to know it. 162 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: So he's steady going at it, and he's talking about 163 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: the state of our country and his concerns over over 164 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: Biden and Kamala Harris and why why he you know, 165 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: having having traveled the world, having being Pakistanian and raised 166 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: in England and coming to this country, feels like he's 167 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: got a good perspective. And I agree it was. It 168 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: was interesting to hear his perspectives. And he was just 169 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: delighted because they don't give the name before I go 170 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 3: in there, because you never know what you're going to 171 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 3: deal with. And he was so excited when I came 172 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: bounding in that you know we were going to and 173 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: he said, I'll stop talking at any moment if you 174 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: want me to. And I said, you know what, you 175 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: say whatever you want, and I took a nap. No, 176 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't. I listened, because that's how you 177 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: get good show prop Haroun Cohn is his name, two 178 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 3: kids at Texas, A and M. His wife's a school teacher. 179 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 3: And well, you couldn't ask you could not ask for 180 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: a more pro America, America first American values than Haroun Khan. 181 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 3: He was fantastic. But anyway, so I do all that 182 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: and Dukeman brings me into his office afterwards, and you know, 183 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: I feel like he's a little emotionally invested in me. 184 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: We're very close friends, our wives are friends. And he said, 185 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: my man, this your report could not be better. Guess 186 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 3: how much calcium build up you have in your system 187 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: in your your arteries. I said zero. I did the okay, 188 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: he said that is correct, and oddly enough, he's a cardiologist, 189 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: he has more than zero because when he was in 190 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: med school, he played college football at Iowa State, and 191 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: when he was in med school he was having problems 192 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: with his wrist, so he injected some calcium into his 193 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 3: wrist to hopefully give himself some relief. And turns out 194 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: that was a bad thing because that calcium deposited and 195 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: plaque in your arteries is like, you know, clog in 196 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 3: the culvert in front of your house, and you don't 197 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: want that, so you know, you got to get the 198 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: roto router in there. And anyway, so he always laughs 199 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 3: at the fact that he's a cardiologist and I have 200 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: a better calcium number than he does. I will say this. 201 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: He's not a show sponsor, and people have asked, you know, 202 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: can you send me to your show sponsor. I wish 203 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 3: he was a show sponsor. I've asked him to be 204 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: a show sponsor for we're sold out. I don't need 205 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: the money, the company doesn't need the money. The reason 206 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: I want him to be a show sponsor is I 207 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: want to brag on him even more. I bragged on 208 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: my trainer, Michael Petru before he was a show sponsor, 209 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: But because he's a show sponsor, now there are slots 210 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: during the show that I get to brag on the 211 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: results I've gotten from him. How much better. Oddly enough, 212 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: I sleep because of resistance training or strength training. I 213 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: grew up believing that if you went into the weight 214 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: room you did it to get big muscles, and for 215 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: some reason it never worked for me. But and that 216 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: if you wanted to get healthy, you went for a run. Well, 217 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: that whole body of work has changed now running is 218 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: out the whole push for cardio that that's not the 219 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: thing anymore now, regardless your age, it is strength training. 220 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: So I have all my people talking, my trainer, my urologist, 221 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: my general practitioner, my cardiologist, all of them to make 222 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: sure that what I'm doing is as good for me 223 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: as it can be. And I'm not really a longevity guy. 224 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: I do follow this guy named Peter Atia. Many of 225 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: you know who that is. Sandy Peterson is when that 226 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: got me on too. Him at Tia. He does a lot, 227 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: he reviews a lot of research and shares his opinions 228 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 3: based on being a doctor, and so a lot of 229 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: it is longevity. I'm not trying to live to be 230 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: a hundred. I'm not even trying to live longer than 231 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: my natural life. I see the picture of them wheeling. 232 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: Is it Joe Biden or Jimmy Carter? They both looked 233 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: the same. I see him out there and they, you know, 234 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: they announced he's going to vote and he's so excited 235 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: to vote for Kamala. He looks like a corpse. That's 236 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: not a quality of life. You know, my mom was 237 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 3: ready to go. She was seventy nine, and I thought 238 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: my mom would live to be one hundred. I really 239 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: did on her side of the family, living to be 240 00:15:52,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: well into your nineties. But she had an atrophy, sorry dystrophe. Uh, 241 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: Louke Gerrig's disease is what it is. But it was 242 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: an advanced it's a it's a there's lots of what 243 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: they call lou Gerrig's disease. And her lungs just wouldn't 244 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: fill up. And it had it had put her into 245 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: this bad situation for a long period of time. So 246 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 3: so when she came home and went into hospice, she 247 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: had the best doctors. Duke when was her was her 248 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 3: heart doctor Tim Connolly, a phenomenal lung doctor. Uh Jim 249 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 3: months my doctor would go by and check on her. 250 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 3: She had the best medical carryer you could get. But 251 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: it was only going to get worse. It was just 252 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: a question of how long it was going to be. 253 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: And she was ready. And and so I don't I 254 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: don't try to live. I don't want to live an 255 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: unnaturally long period of time. I just want a high 256 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: quality of life while I'm living. And so you know, 257 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean I don't drink or smoke, cigars or 258 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: you know, go on too little sleep too often. But 259 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: I do try to maximize, you know, with with what 260 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: I do. How I you know, this this bag of 261 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: bones that I drag around behind me. And so anyway, 262 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: I have wanted Dutman to be a sponsor, but it 263 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: doesn't make sense because yesterday he saw forty five patients. 264 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 3: Because he's leaving today. I got to brag on my cardiologists. 265 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: And if you want to cardiologist, send me an email. 266 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: Connect you. He's leaving today to be honored by Iowa 267 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: State as one of their outstanding alumni. And I'm proud 268 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 3: of my buddy Stan Dutman. He played football therea with 269 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 3: the meds schools. 270 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 7: I saw weapons ban, but it's only later in your 271 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 7: political career did you change your position wise the. 272 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: Michael Berry shall become friends with school shooters. Did you 273 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 3: know Willy had shown up at the Beyonce event? I 274 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: had no idea. It got overlooked. Tells you a lot 275 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: about the media, doesn't it. You know people at this point, 276 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: you know, when Willie came out big for Bato, did 277 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 3: a concert for him, people were angry and they would 278 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 3: email me and I would respond and say sometimes I 279 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: get a little snappy on my emails. I shouldn't do 280 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: that ramon sometimes. Huh, yeah, I know you're not surprised. 281 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 3: Oh we got a good rain to come. Oh yeah, yeah, 282 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: this one's a good one. Not a flood rain, just 283 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 3: a good solid rain. Yeah, it's yeah, it's very cleansing, 284 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 3: very cleansing. My wife and I go for a walk 285 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: if it's in the morning. When we go, the sprinklers 286 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: come on, and I always remark that I love the 287 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: sound of sprinklers. People's sprinklers coming on. It feels like, 288 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: you know, the grass is that the earth is being fed. 289 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: It's you know, it's it's drinking up, it's it's cleaning 290 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: things off, it's getting ready for the day. I love 291 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: morning dew. I think it's a it's a it's a 292 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: glorious thing. Scott, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, my. 293 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: Man, Michael, I am on. Leave down here and a 294 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 4: cope of County Chase in ballots for Donald Trump, and 295 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 4: I wanted to share some information I was given. If 296 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: President Trump somehow loses this election, it won't be because 297 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 4: America's gone woke. Although that's a worry. It won't be 298 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 4: because of fraud. We know there will be some, but 299 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 4: it will be the sole blame going to the Michael 300 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: Berry Show audience and the other big conservative audiences. Christians 301 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: and gun owners, just those two groups. The numbers are shocking. 302 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 4: You probably have it precisely, but something like half. I 303 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 4: think gun owners might be more than half don't vote. 304 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 4: If just those two groups voted in proper numbers, it 305 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 4: would be fifty state landslides. I mean, maybe not California, 306 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 4: but there's no amount of fraud that could overcome that. 307 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: I mean, and gun owners. 308 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: For goodness sake, Well, I'm gonna tell you something else. 309 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 3: Let's take the last one. First, Black Christians vote in 310 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 3: much higher rates than white Christians do. And that is 311 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: because black churches talk about politics. Because most white pastors, 312 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 3: not all, but most are woosies. And that's not the 313 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: word I want to use. Most white pastors are, in 314 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 3: my opinion, chickens. They will they don't hesitate to tell 315 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: you why you should tie, and why they deserve to 316 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: take a trip the vacation this summer, and how hard 317 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 3: they work, and how much you should give to the 318 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: building fund, and how much money you should give, and 319 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: how much money you should give and how much money 320 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: you should give. But when it comes to challenging people 321 00:20:54,320 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 3: to create a governing system that provides the freedom to 322 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 3: worship and the values to protect children, most of them 323 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: are chicken blanks, chicken crap. And I don't say that. 324 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: I know that makes people angry at me, but it's true. 325 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: To their credit, the black pastors will not only talk 326 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 3: about politics, they will tell their congregation how to vote, 327 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 3: and then from there they will do a roll to 328 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 3: the polls. This year they called it Souls to the Polls. 329 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: The massive effort turned out it was a failure this year. 330 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: Turns out it was a huge failure this year because 331 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 3: black voters aren't playing along. But black pastors will do 332 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: that now. On the gun owners. By the way, if 333 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: you are a hunter, I believe Tuesday is opening day, 334 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 3: so get in. Early voting ends this Friday, so get 335 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: your early voting done. Get it done, you know, playing shotgun. 336 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: Willie reminded me Willie Nelson being at the Common event 337 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: and nobody, nobody was even talking about it. People know 338 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: Willie's politics are whack. They just know his politics are whack, 339 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 3: and they don't care anymore because he has no influence anymore. 340 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: People aren't taking Willie's endorsement. They might smoke his marijuana, 341 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: but they're not gonna take his political endorsement. Oh we 342 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: got Trunk and Tom on the line. 343 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 8: How Michaele was Tom again? I love country music word anything. 344 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 8: I love Garth Brooks and James Aldean and Conway Tweet 345 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 8: and Merle Dukes of Hazard, Chris Stofferson. But Michael, there's 346 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 8: a scandal going on in the world of country music. 347 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 8: Did you know that Willie Nelson is a Democrat? I 348 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 8: always know he smoked weed. But if that's outlaw country, 349 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 8: that's what they do, I expect nothing less. But Michael, 350 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 8: do you think he votes Democrat? Because because he's on 351 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 8: P Diddy's videos that that's the only thing. I can't 352 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 8: even imagine that would make him vote that way. I mean, 353 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: maybe he was that one of those P Diddy of 354 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 8: Super Bowl parties with Leonardo de Cappuccino and Justin Bieber 355 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 8: and he got caught up in some kind of crazy 356 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 8: ninety year old, crazy ass kink weird thing. I don't know, 357 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 8: and they ain't no got tapes of him like peeing 358 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 8: on a bull up dollar or something. Even weirder. But hey, 359 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 8: make sure you vote Trump and vote for Senator Cruz, 360 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 8: and vote Republicans up and down the whole asle of 361 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 8: your ballot and cancel that crazy kinky old ash Willie Nelson, 362 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 8: stupid Democrat vote. Hey, Michael, Hey, Michael, Hey, what's the 363 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 8: absolute worst thing you want to hear after making out 364 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 8: with Willie Nelson. I'm not Willie Nelson. Hey, go vote, 365 00:23:52,760 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 8: get out there and vote, get your vote on. Hello, Michael, Hello, Hello. 366 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 5: What do you think that Tom Country, Michael Berry, We 367 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 5: think sweet tea. We don't think socialists who days. 368 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 8: For you. 369 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: Jason writes Zora, I've been listening to your discussion about churches. 370 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 3: I'm a member of First Baptists, and I was pleasantly 371 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: surprised that two Sundays ago, Pastor Gregmott encouraged the congregation 372 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: to vote for members of the congregation who were running 373 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: for office, which are Ted Cruz and Mike Knox. Mike 374 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 3: Knox running for sheriff. Although not near what the black 375 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 3: churches do, but more than I've seen non black churches 376 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 3: do in a very long time. That is absolutely true. 377 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: Ronda writes el Desino. I agree with you that black 378 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: pastors seem to be more vocal about politics than white pastors. 379 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: I was very sad when doctor ed Young retired. I 380 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 3: feel he was a great voice for Christians to bring 381 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: increased awareness about the key topics that should influence vote, 382 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 3: influence voter's decisions in the current elections. I agree, I 383 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 3: agree with you one, she continues, while Ben Young is 384 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 3: trying in a milder way. And I did enjoy hearing 385 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 3: from Trey Goudy last Sunday. I feel many Christians are 386 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 3: just starting to wake up and get the courage to 387 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 3: stand up and not just go alone, to get along. 388 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 3: Thanks to Trump for giving a lot of us the 389 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: inner strength to say what we all already know. None 390 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: of these crazy, immoral, unethical, downright blatantly illegal activities make 391 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: any sense. Thanks for listening, Ronda. Well, you know, if 392 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: you believe what the Bible says, the direction no commandment 393 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: is very clear. Evangelizing is very clear. That That's That's 394 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 3: been a conversation discussion I've had many over many years 395 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 3: with friends of mine who are Catholic, is that the 396 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: lack of evangelizing is troubling to me personally, and the 397 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 3: way that conversation goes is. Usually the person is offended 398 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 3: because somehow I'm insulting Catholics. No, I'm going to tell 399 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: you what I believe. And then we turn to how 400 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 3: much real estate the Catholic Church owns and how many 401 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: Catholics there are in the world, and a lot of 402 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 3: Muslims in the world too. Are you what is what 403 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 3: is your point there? My look, If you feel a 404 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: sense of conviction from my words, that's on you. I'm 405 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: not in any way criticizing you. I'm telling you what 406 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: my belief is, and my belief is that the Bible 407 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 3: is very clear about evangelizing. I also believe Catholics don't evangelize. 408 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: You don't need to email me if somehow, someway you're 409 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 3: part of a Catholic group or you happen to be 410 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: Catholic and evangelize. I have watched a number of Catholics 411 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: lead the Catholic Church over this issue. To me, the 412 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: Bible is not about rituals. It is not about church membership. 413 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: It's not about a place you gather and what that 414 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: says about you. It's not about how pretty that place 415 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: is or how rich the people are who go there. 416 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: It's not about that's the identity, identity you were born into. 417 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 3: You know, Hindus and Jews are distrustful of converts. Many 418 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 3: of them will tell you that's not true, but it is. 419 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 3: They view Hinduism and Judaism, and really, I have many 420 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: friends who are Jewish who are not practicing. They don't 421 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: keep Kosher, they don't on the high Holy days go 422 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 3: to temple, but they view being Jewish as their identity. 423 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: And I think there's a lot wrapped up in that, 424 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 3: particularly in the modern era. Hermanwoke wrote a book called 425 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 3: This Is My God, and he wrote it in I 426 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 3: don't know, maybe the early fifties, could have even be 427 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: in as late as a sixties, and he wrote it 428 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: for young Jews in America to give them a sense 429 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: of their identity and their history and their legacy and 430 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 3: a desire to preserve Jewishness or Jewry as it's called 431 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 3: an academia. And his concern was that Jews were marrying 432 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: outside the faith and that Jewishness would would die off, 433 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: and it was a kind of a call to preserve Jewishness. Hindus, likewise, 434 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 3: historically in India would only marry, not only within the faith, 435 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 3: which even calling Hinduism of faith is odd for me 436 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: in the in the sense that we use faith. It 437 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 3: is an identity, and it's an identity that was so 438 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 3: powerful that there was a sub identity within that identity 439 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 3: of Brahmin or uh depending on where you were. Sick 440 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 3: Ism is an offshoot of Hinduism, and again it is 441 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: an identity as much as anything of faith. All back 442 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: to American evangelicals. American evangelicals were for a long time 443 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: the heart and soul of Republican voters. They were perhaps 444 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: more than any other group, reliable, outspoken, active Republican voters. 445 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: The infiltration of the evangelical church in America by a 446 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 3: cadre a really a diverse group of grifters. And you 447 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: can see the grifters. 448 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 7: This is the. 449 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 3: Health and wealth crowd. This is the prosperity doctrine. Pastors, 450 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 3: the pastors who preach that you can get rich in 451 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 3: this church. But oddly enough send it to me the pastor. 452 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 3: I find that I find that at a minimum unbiblical. 453 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 3: These are also the pastors. These are also the preachers, televangelists, 454 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 3: every one of them, because that's how you achieve scale, 455 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: and scale is how you achieve maximum profitability, and let's 456 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 3: be clear, profitability is what they're seeking. As these grifters 457 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: began the televangelism approach, they gave up the pastoring. In fact, 458 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: many of them no longer call themselves a pastor, nor 459 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: do they take on the role of pastoring ministering to 460 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 3: the flock. They're just on TV every Sunday. The death 461 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 3: of the church, in that sense, is what we're suffering 462 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 3: right now. If the church would engage its members and 463 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 3: explain to a naive group of people that the devil 464 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 3: is among us and that we need to show up 465 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: a vote, this election would be over before. You wouldn't 466 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: even need to have Election Day early voting, and by 467 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: the way, early voting today through Friday. Please don't wait. 468 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: I voted yesterday, Ramon, thank you for asking. I voted yesterday, 469 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 3: is what I voted. Republican all the way down, and 470 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 3: I voted against the bonds. Every one of them is 471 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 3: a tax increase, and they're wasting money. They don't need 472 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 3: more money. They need to mind, so they need to 473 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 3: lay some people off and spend their money more wise. 474 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 3: But I voted Republican all the way down.
