1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: It's that sign sign sign, sign, luck and load. The 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Michael Verry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: It's Charlie from BlackBerrys Mother. I can feel like this 4 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 2: one coming on. 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 3: It's the Michael Berry Show. 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: Yes, it is so many years up until a year 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: or two ago, twenty years on the air. We had 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: a ritual drive home ritual and that ritual involved a 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: pop a top and it went back to the idea, 10 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: the age old tradition of drinking a beer on the 11 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: drive home. And in the state of Texas until nineteen 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: ninety eight, you could you could have a beer as 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: you were driving. You could a cop could see you 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: drinking the beer as you drove. And in nineteen ninety eight, 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: then Governor George W. Bush, seeming me out of nowhere, 16 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: made very public that he wanted a no open container law. 17 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: Could not be an open container in your vehicle, your truck, 18 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: let's say. And it was weird. He's a teetotalers, what's 19 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: the big deal. Well, we would find out two years later, 20 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: while he's running for president in two thousand, that he 21 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: had a DWI years ago that his family had been 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: able to cover up. So he was putting in place 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: a defense that he could say, yeah, but look what 24 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: I've done since then. So the question becomes how horrible 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: is it to have a d drink on the drive home? Now, 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: before you panting and go Michael, you're hold on. I mean, 27 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: let's use science here for just a moment, shall we? 28 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: Let me tell you the reality of what happens. Guy 29 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: gets done at the plan. It's off of five o'clock, 30 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: he's headed home. He's had a hard day and he 31 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: wants to have a beer. Now a lot of I realize, 32 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: a lot of older women. He ought not to have that, 33 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: I know, because you're a control free to calm down. 34 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: But he's worked his ass off all day and that 35 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: gives him pleasure and relief. So what he'd like to 36 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: do is head home because mama's got supper on the table. 37 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: But he can't drink a beer on his forty five 38 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: minute drive home, not allowed to anymore used to. So 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: what does he do? Pulls into a bar. Well, the 40 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: next song that we play coming out of the break 41 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: will allude to the fact that there's never one beer 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: at a bar. There's never one Jose wherever at the bar. 43 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: Once you have one, you're done. Now he can sit 44 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: in the bar and have ten beers. That'll be fine. 45 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Once he comes outside and gets in his truck and starts, 46 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: if he's drunk, that's a separate offense. But the act 47 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: of going in and having ten beers, that's perfectly fine. 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Have as many beers as you want inside the establishment. 49 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Just don't leave the establishment. Well that's odd. That's very odd, 50 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: isn't it. So why not let him have the one 51 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: beer on the way home. Why have him stop and 52 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: have a bunch of beers. Well, because George Bush was 53 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: going to run for president, So we used to do something, 54 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: and we'll do it now. And it went like this. 55 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: You know, we hear at the Michael Berry Show. Believe 56 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: that at the end of a long, hard week of work, 57 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: a grown ass man or a Lebesian woman ought to 58 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: be able to pop a top on a cold beer 59 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: on the drive home. And this week we do so 60 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: in honor of the people who weren't ice agents five 61 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: years ago. Most of them they were doing something else. 62 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: They were retired law enforcement. They were serving their community 63 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: in somewhere or another. But the whole nation wants our 64 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: borders enforced. We want the bad guys out, and they 65 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: signed up and stepped up and made it down the coast, 66 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: and one of them suffered some pretty bad injuries and 67 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: suffered the mental stress of having to kill somebody that 68 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: no officer wants to do. He did not want to 69 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: kill her. She chose to put him in a situation 70 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: to do that. He didn't. He would have avoided that 71 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: at all costs. That will haunt him for the rest of. 72 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: His life anyway, He. 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: Didn't want that. Every one of you out there who 74 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: wears a badge, it may seem because the people you 75 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: arrest never thank you for doing your job, that nobody 76 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: appreciates what you do, but we do.

It's Tracy Bird. 102 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 4: Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon crawl. 103 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Listen to the Tsar of Chalk, my buddy Michael Baiy. 104 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: The first anniversary of the Pacific Palisades Fire came and 105 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: went without much fanfare, which is unfortunate because it was 106 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to see firsthand, in a very high 107 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: profile way, what Democrat leadership of major cities looks like. 108 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Adam Carolla and Bill Maher predicted exactly what ended up happening. 109 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: After the wildfires devastated Pacific Palisades in southern California. A 110 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: year later, only a handful of homes had been rebuilt. Remember, 111 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: they said, oh, we're gonna and Trump came down hard 112 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: on them. They said, he said, you won't give them permits. 113 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: I know you want to. No, no, we will. Construction 114 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: has begun on just about five hundred of the sixteen 115 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: thousand structures lost. So if sixteen hundred was ten percent, 116 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: it's one third of that, so about three percent of 117 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the homes or under replacement reconstruction. The rebuild is described 118 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: as being slowed by the complex web of permits, insurance payouts, 119 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: rising building costs. As Adam Carolla said a year ago, 120 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: all these people who are deep blue Democrats are now 121 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and 122 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: they're going to get the twenty eight year bitch from 123 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: the Coastal Commission tell them to go f off yep. 124 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they've empowered. That's what they said 125 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: they wanted. Now enjoy it, reap the whirlwind Sheriff. 126 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: These are all sitting around crying about Karen Bass, water pressure? 127 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: How come the force wasn't cleared of all the prush? 128 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: What's happening with the infrastructuck?

And now you get what you get? Oh, 131 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 4: now that your house is on fire, Well, now you're 132 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: thinking about something else.

You didn't give 134 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 4: a about what was going on when other people's houses 135 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: were on fire, but now you care. 136 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: So here's what's gonna happen. 137 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 4: All these people who were deep blue Democrats are now 138 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: going to have to pull a permit to rebuild. And 139 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 4: they're gonna get the twenty eight year old from the 140 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: Coastal Commission telling them to go off. And then they're 141 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 4: going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next.

And these people don't want to live in 148 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 4: Van Eyes. They like it where they are.

We're always hopeful that, you know, a 493 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 14: freedom movement will develop and overwhelm the authoritarian government. 494 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 17: There. 495 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 14: The only problem I have with saying, oh, we're going 496 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 14: to bomb Iran. 497 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes it has the opposite effect. 498 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 14: So when you bomb a country, then people tend to 499 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 14: rally around their own flag. These tendency this is the 500 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 14: you know, a foreign country coming in and bombing us, 501 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 14: and so I don't think it always has that effect. 502 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 14: I wish, you know, the same as the president. 503 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: I want success. 504 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 14: I hope that the freedom movement survives. I hope that 505 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 14: the Iranian government, you know, doesn't kill the protesters, but 506 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 14: it sounds like they already have. But I don't know 507 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 14: that bombing Iran will have the effect that is intended. 508 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 13: And what about those threats of bombing right now, and 509 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 13: what you've heard from the Iatola there, I don't think 510 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 13: I have ever heard of president say they may take 511 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 13: military action to protect protesters, certainly with solo money. When 512 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 13: the Trump administration hit him, there were massive protests against America. 513 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 13: But they are shouting death to the Ayatola. Do we 514 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 13: owe it to those protesters? Do you believe to help them? 515 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: Well, I think we wish them the best. 516 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 14: We wish freedom and liberation the best across the world. 517 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 14: But I don't think it's the job of the American 518 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 14: government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world, 519 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 14: and I do believe that bombing them may have the opposite. 520 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 14: It's like, how do you drop a bomb in the 521 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 14: middle of a crowd or a protest and protect the 522 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 14: people there. If you bomb the government, you then rally 523 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 14: people to their flag who are upset with the Ietola. 524 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: But then say, well, gosh, we can't have. 525 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 14: A foreign government invading or bombing our country. 526 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 2: It tends to have people rally to the cause. 527 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 14: So I think the protests are directed at the Ietola, 528 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 14: justifiably so, and the best way it is to encourage 529 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 14: them and say that, of course we would recognize a 530 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 14: government that is a freedom love of government that allows 531 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 14: free elections. 532 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: But bombing is not the answer. 533 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 14: Plus, there is this sticking point of the Constitution that 534 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 14: we don't let presidents bomb countries just when they feel 535 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 14: like it. They're supposed to ask the people through the 536 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 14: Congress for permission.
