1 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: It's that time, time time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: The Michael Vari Show is on the air. 3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 3: The US is the first time in the history of 4 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 3: the world where a government was organized with a constitution 5 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 3: laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 3: domb and that is what led to the US becoming 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 3: the greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be 8 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 3: the best they could be, unlike it had ever happened. 9 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 3: That's American exceptionalisms. 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 4: And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 4: five thirty five years ago? 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Why the Atlantic? 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 4: Why does Rice play Texas? 14 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: We choose to go to the moon. We choose to 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: go to the moon. We choose to go to the. 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: Moon and disscate and do the other thing, not because 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: they are easy, but because they are hard. 18 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 5: If we look to the answer as to why for 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 5: so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no 20 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 5: other people on Earth, it was because here in this 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 5: land we unleash the energy and individual genius of man 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 5: to a greater extent than has ever been done before. 23 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 5: Freedom and the dignity the individual have been more available 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 5: and assured here than in any other place on Earth. 25 00:01:38,360 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: Yours I am well aware of the reality that the 26 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: lifeblood of talk radio is anger. If people weren't angry 27 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: at what's going on in this country, then many of 28 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: them would not tune into talk radio. I understand that 29 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: I cannot, however, simply be an agent of that anger, 30 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: stoke it and go home in good conscience, not from 31 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: my own good health, nor the people who are participating 32 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: in it, because it is unproductive to the extent that 33 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: it's not bringing change, and that is a good portion 34 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: of it. I can't tell you how many emails I 35 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: have received since Tuesday night Wednesday morning. It would shock 36 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: you how many emails with a very similar message. We 37 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: should not be celebrating. We should be worried about this 38 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: and this and this and this, okay. And it reminds 39 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: me of Kamala Harris lecturing a crowd years ago when 40 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 2: she said, how dare we say Merry Christmas when somewhere 41 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: there is a child without food and presents? You can 42 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: choose how you live. I'm simply not going to be 43 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: a part of that. And I suppose I could just 44 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: ignore it and move on down the road. But I 45 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: don't find that very enriching. If you can't find joy 46 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: in your family, your faith, in your business, and your community, 47 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: in other positive people. That's simply a choice you are making, 48 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: and if you want to make that choice, you are 49 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: welcome to make that choice. But I cannot, in good 50 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: conscience tell you that I think it's a good choice, 51 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: and I cannot be one of those people. And there 52 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: are plenty doing what we're doing. I could send you 53 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: to the names of the show if you want them, 54 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: who will stake you up into a fever pitch of 55 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: pissed off and keep you there all day long, every day, 56 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: because that is the mountain they've built for themselves. It's 57 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: not where I want to be. I will express displeasure, 58 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 2: I will point out things that need to be changed 59 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: and how we can do that, but it is also 60 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: a goal of mine to focus on things that are good, 61 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: where we can make a difference, and in the meantime 62 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: we're not walking around like a sourpuss. One of the 63 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: major reasons the Democrats lost, we'd all like to believe 64 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: it's our particular issue. One of the major reasons the 65 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: Democrats lost is they come off as angry and crazy, 66 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: and people don't like that. You would, ladies, you wouldn't 67 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: want to dance with a guy who came over with 68 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: a sour attitude and an angry demeanor disposition. You don't 69 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: want to hire that person. You don't want to live 70 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: next door to them if you become that person, and 71 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: it's easy to do. Politics has become sport. It's become entertainment. 72 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: It's a single most popular thing in America today. It 73 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: has far surpassed sports, far surpassed the church, far surpassed 74 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: professional life, the stock market, finance, travel, literature, me a film, music. 75 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: People spend way more time at political rallies on both 76 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: sides of the eye than they do a concerts or 77 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: have in a long time. They spend way more time 78 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: on political television than they do movies. And you have 79 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: to justify it. And it's just not just conservatives, This 80 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: is across the board. You have to JUSTI one has 81 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 2: to justify these decisions. So the justification is I'm staying informed, 82 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: I'm a good citizen. There comes a point where moderation 83 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: is necessary, There comes a point of diminishing return, and 84 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: there even comes a point where it's contrary to the 85 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: overall goal. And we all see that there has to 86 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: be a pivot. Now for a period of time to 87 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: focus on our culture, ourselves, our families, our businesses, to 88 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: be productive and prosperous, because otherwise, what were we fighting 89 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: for in the first place, Not a sport we want 90 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: to win because we hate the Texas Rangers or the 91 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers. Do I hope that Dodgers fans went 92 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: from cheering the World Series when to being deported within 93 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: two weeks? Yes, but that's a sporting event. We're talking 94 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: about important things. David. You're on the Michael Berry Show. 95 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, Michael. 96 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 6: Since it's a good Friday that we have right here, 97 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 6: I'd like to nominate Tyris aka George Murdoch for Secretary 98 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 6: of Education and Rick Grennell for Secretary of State. 99 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Grenell is not 100 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: in contention. I don't know if it'll be Secretary of State. 101 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: Wouldn't surprise me. Trump clearly relies on him and his advice. 102 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: It'll be funny because the right will say, see, we 103 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: got a home over secretary of state, and the left 104 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: will say he's a sellout, he's horrible, he's dreadful, and 105 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: they'll tear him down. That being said, I think Grennell's 106 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: a pretty darn good choice. I will say this. People 107 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: suggest to me names for things all the time, and 108 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: this is not to criticize you, is just to speak 109 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: generally to the issue. There is a tendency for us 110 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: to want to place people in the cabinet in the 111 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: administration based on the fact that we already know who 112 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: they are, right. I will tell you that I see 113 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: administrations do that, and I don't think it's a good idea. 114 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: Jeff Sessions was made Attorney General because Sessions was the 115 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: first senator that came out for Donald Trump. He turned 116 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: out to be a disaster. So we don't have to 117 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: put Ken Paxton or Ted Cruzer. All the people we 118 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 2: see on TV or we know are There's plenty of 119 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: good people in this country. 120 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: You are listening to Michael Barry's show. 121 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: We are still seeking sponsors for our Saint Jude Golf term. 122 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: It's the Saint Jude. I don't want it. I just 123 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: raise money for it every year. The Saint Jude Golf Tournament, 124 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: which will be Monday, December ninth at the Golf Club 125 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: of Houston. It is a foursome. You can use as 126 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 2: you like or if you say Michael, I just want 127 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: to donate to Saint Jude to help you get to 128 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: your number. Give the team to camp. Hope you can 129 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 2: do that too. You can. Before you do that, I 130 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 2: always tell people put it out to your clients. It's 131 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: a fun day. Eddie Martini and Doug Pike and Saint Jude. 132 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: They put together. It starts with a breakfast and it's 133 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: boozy and it's fun and it's a blast. And the 134 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: groups that are out there are a whole lot of fun. 135 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: So thank you to Steve C.

And they're not emailing me 143 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: because they're not sure if they can do that. Yes, 144 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: we will allow as a special exception today we would 145 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: do that. Just email me Michael Berryshow dot com and 146 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: it'll show you where to send me an email. Let's 147 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: go to Michael. You're on the Michael Berry Show. 148 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Hey, Michael, I just want to give a 149 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: call because I haven't heard anybody mention this. But I 150 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: think the person that we all need to thank most 151 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump's victory is back Barack Obama. And the 152 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: reason being is I don't think Donald Trump will have 153 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: ever stepped into politics if it wasn't for Barack Obama 154 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: chiding him. I think it was twenty fifteen or twenty 155 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: fourteen at the Al Smith dinner, we looked at Trump 156 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: and said one thing, you'll never be as president or 157 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: something on that line. Then that really pushed Trump to 158 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: want to run for a presidency. Then over this past 159 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: election cycle, I don't think well, first off, Barack Obama 160 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: forced Joe Biden out of the president out of the race. 161 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: I honestly think they will have been able to cheat 162 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: if Biden will stayed in because it will have been 163 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: a lot closer than it was against Kamala. So we 164 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: can thank him for that, and we can also thank 165 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: him for charting all the African American men for not 166 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: being black enough if they didn't vote for Kamala, So 167 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: I think his pompousness is what's really driven in MAGA 168 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: movement and drove the Black vote to get out and 169 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump. So all in all, I think 170 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: we really need to thank Barack Obama for Donald Trump's 171 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: rise and the rise of the MAGA movement. 172 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: But I get the point in the irony or satire 173 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: that is intended. It's not lost on me. But I 174 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: don't give Barack Obama credit for anything, nor will I now. 175 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: I do attribute his errors, his arrogance, his evil. I 176 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 2: believe the man has committed crimes, serious crimes. I believe that. 177 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: I don't care if his wife has a wiener or not. 178 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: People focus on those sorts of things. I guess that's 179 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: another thing they can add to what they don't like 180 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: about him. He's a bad human being. And somewhere along 181 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: the way, in the course of the life of our republic, 182 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: this free people. And by the way, one of the 183 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: great joys is that in twenty twenty six, during the 184 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: middle of Donald Trump's presidency, will be the two hundred 185 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of our people being free. We didn't 186 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: have a constitution yet, but we were free. We were 187 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: in depend that we were our own, our own civilization, 188 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: our own community, our own In the Max Weber since nation, 189 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: it wasn't just that we shared a language or tract 190 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: of land. It was that there was a spirit. 191 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: You know. 192 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: Bono had one of the deepest things I've ever heard 193 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: said about the United States. And I don't care much 194 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: for his politics, but he makes I think a brilliant point. 195 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a songwriter, He's a man who expresses 196 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: ideas and words beautifully, and I love this particular phrasing 197 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: and concept by him. 198 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 7: It's not a right left issue, it's a right wrong issue. 199 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 7: And America has constantly been on the side of what's 200 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 7: right because when it comes down to it, this is 201 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 7: about keeping faith with the idea of America, because America 202 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 7: is an idea, isn't it. I mean, Island's a great country, 203 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 7: it's not an idea. 204 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: Great Britain's a great country. 205 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 7: It's not an idea. That's how we see you around 206 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 7: the world as one of the greatest ideas in human history, 207 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 7: right up there with the Renaissance, right up there with 208 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 7: crop rotation on the Beatles White album. The idea, the 209 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 7: American idea, it's an idea. 210 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: The idea is that. 211 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 7: You and me are created equal. It will ensure that 212 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 7: an economic recession need not become an equality recession. The 213 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 7: idea that life is not meant to be endured but enjoyed. 214 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 7: The idea that if we have dignity, if we have justice, 215 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 7: then leave it to us. 216 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: We'll do the rest. 217 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 7: This country was the first to claw its way out 218 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 7: of darkness and put that on paper. And God love 219 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 7: you for it, because these aren't just American ideas anymore. 220 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 7: There's no copyright on them. You brought them into the world. 221 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 7: It's a wide world now. 222 00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: I know. 223 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 7: American say they're a bit of the world in them, 224 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 7: and you do. The family tree has lots of branches. 225 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 7: But the thing is, the world has a bit of 226 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 7: America in it too. These truths, your truths, they're self 227 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 7: evident in us. 228 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: We're the only nation born of an idea. When does 229 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: Germany start? When does France start? You know, you study 230 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: the civilizations of the Gauls or what we now call Germany, 231 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: and you bring together these pieces. You know, Italy was 232 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: the Neapolitans and the Sicilians, and the Tuscans and the Genuines, 233 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: and you bring them together under a flag, and you 234 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: call them a nation, and you muster an army. But 235 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's not on the 236 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: basis of an idea. It's typically by brute force. It's 237 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: typically by brute force. And the beauty of July fourth, 238 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six is that was the moment that in 239 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: a rented room on Main Street in Philadelphia, Jefferson presents 240 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: the final draft of a document outlining as a people 241 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: who and what we are? I mean, I can't begin 242 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: to tell you how moving I find this to be. 243 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: I realized these are the things that you learned in 244 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: civics when you really just wanted to get with Susie 245 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: behind the building. But it really is deep. It's so 246 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: profoundly deep in a religious, spiritual way, when you consider 247 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: whether you were born here or you came here, that 248 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: there's nowhere on earth that people want to be more 249 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: than here the entire world. Like ants to the honey, 250 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: ants to the sugar, want to get here because it's freedom, 251 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: it's opportunity. Now, many of them don't understand how you 252 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: get that freedom, how you maintain that freedom, how you 253 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: maintain that opportunity, Because they come from cultures that didn't 254 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 2: have that, so they want to institute all that they know, 255 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: which would actually destroy that freedom and opportunity. But God 256 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: bless America that we live in this place. 257 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: Informed decisions, and you're giving them the into the Michael. 258 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: Arry because you're a public Paul Revere kind of ringing 259 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: the warnings though the horse she must be in a 260 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: questrian or something. One hundred and seventy two years ago today, 261 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: November eighth, eighteen fifty two, the first recorded mention of 262 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: the distinctive Mexican circus in Texas appeared in the San 263 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: Antone Ledger. Though the performing groups may have been in 264 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: Texas prior to this date, the San Antone Ledger marked 265 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: the first documentation of the circuses in the Lone Star State. 266 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: The Mexican circuses evolved over the years from sixteenth century 267 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: performers called voladores flyers that means the flyers because they're 268 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: they're well, they're flying across there. They're crazy if you've 269 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: ever seen it, and Spanish minstrels and jugglers to include 270 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: motto meadows. I think motal meadows are Uh's the word 271 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: in English. It's not a Mexican sweet. Let you idiot. 272 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 2: Mama Martha's listening and she doesn't know if you really 273 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: don't know, as acrobat is the word in English and 274 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 2: dramatic performers. By the time they got to Texas, the 275 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: Mexican circuses had incorporated Italian, English, and American influences, including 276 00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: the English clown carpas. I think that's a what would 277 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: you call that? 278 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 5: P T. 279 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: Barnum and the like a tent circus. I think that's 280 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 2: what that is. Proved popular into the twentieth century throughout 281 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: the Rio, Grand Valley and South in central Texas, and 282 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: several companies made San Antone their home base. The Karpas, 283 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: often family based, delivered commentary on Tehano social life, and 284 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: influenced the development of Mexican American theater El Teatro for 285 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: you from month. Interesting how families would travel, whether it 286 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: was a medicine show or flying acrobats across the fruited plain. 287 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: Not just in the United States. Gypsies did that all 288 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: over the world. And you would have these families and 289 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: everybody in the family had a duty. It was like 290 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 2: a farm. Right. Hey, listen, you're pretty healthy, both your 291 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: eyes and we already gouged out one of our kid's 292 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 2: eyes and made him a cyclops. So we're gonna bind 293 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: your foot behind you so that you have to hop 294 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: along and you got a foot coming out your back 295 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: like a tail. Sorry, but that's what we're adding to 296 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 2: the show. So this is gonna hurt a little bit. 297 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: And that's what they did. That's what they did.

How you there? 341 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 9: And this is silly cute liquor with the United States 342 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 9: Pro Smoking Comedy. 343 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: We saw him this last night at my house. 344 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 9: Winston's tastes good like a cigarette shoe. Winston's just tastes 345 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 9: good lights a cigarette shues and Winston give you real flavor, 346 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 9: full rich tobacco flavor. Winston easy drawing too. The filters 347 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 9: put the flavor through Winston's taste good like a cigarette shoe. 348 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: I don't need me a smoke break. Now, let's go 349 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: to ortiz or Tees. You're on the Michael Berry Show. 350 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: That's a last name. Why are you calling them the 351 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: last name? By the way, I have been asked to 352 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: put in a Latino line because the Latino showed up 353 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: so much. And why is it that blacks get the 354 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: black line and Latinos don't get the Latino line, little 355 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: behind the scenes peak, behind the curtain fire. We typically 356 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: take women first, and that's for a number of reasons. 357 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: Ladies first, number one and number two. I read an 358 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 2: article ten years ago that said that women don't listen 359 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: to talk radio, It's all men, and I thought, well, shoot, 360 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 2: women comprise over fifty percent of the voters. If we 361 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: can't get women to tune in and we can't talk 362 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: to them, then we can't fix the problems. Right. Women 363 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: are just as important as the men, folks, So we 364 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: always try. And women are not as likely as men 365 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: to call in. So when we get one on the line, 366 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: I mean we we reel it in. We hooked at 367 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: nine thousand. You'll be up first or piece. The Michael 368 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 2: Berry show shot tone indicates everything is ready for your call. 369 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 9: Be good again. 370 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: Years ago I started noticing them. Businesses were trying to 371 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: create social media because that's what they were told they 372 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: needed to do. So you would have a guy that 373 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: be somewhere between fifty and seventy years old, depending on 374 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: if this daughter was from his first marriage or his 375 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 2: second marriage, and she had just graduated from college and 376 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: she had all these new fangled ideas and she would say, Dad, 377 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: you don't even have a social media page, and you 378 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 2: know he'd have a tractor company or a car dealership 379 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: or distributorship of whatever. And a lot of those people 380 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: make way more money than you can imagine. You can't 381 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: see it, but they are somewhere in the logistical chain 382 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: and they're making a lot of times, they're making the 383 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: lion's share of the money in the chain from manufacture 384 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 2: to consumer, between the distributor of products and whoever's financing it, 385 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: which is also why a number of distributors of products 386 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: in one way or another, got into the finance business. 387 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: And the dirty little secret is many retailers today don't 388 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: actually make much of if any profit as a retailer. 389 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: The only profit they make is the sluice, the juice 390 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: they get on the financing. That's why when you go 391 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: in and you say to any of these you go 392 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: to electronics retailer, and they go, would you like to 393 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 2: finance that? 394 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 10: No? 395 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: You Weirdoh I'm paying for it now. Would you like 396 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 2: to sign up for a credit card? No, I'm going 397 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 2: to use my check book, And they freak out right 398 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: because that's where they need to make well, how about this, 399 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: how about a warranty on it? A warranty? Are you joking? 400 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: Because it got so competitive actually selling a product that 401 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: they had to find ways to pile things on other 402 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: than the item itself. Right, So these guys, their daughter 403 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: would would graduate at ut or wherever she went, and 404 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: she would say, Dad, you don't have a social media 405 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: for you to have a social media presence, and I'd 406 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: be at lunch with these guys. These companies that would 407 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 2: make for this guy alone, for his family alone, These 408 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: companies will be making three to ten million dollars a year, 409 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: the ones I'm thinking of. And I said, what do 410 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: you think, Michael, I need to need social media? And 411 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: I'd say, you distribute valves. Let me ask you a question. 412 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: Do you expect that I'm going to follow you on 413 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: social media? Because Robinson Valve Company, whatever y'all have to 414 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: say today, is really not very interesting to me. Social 415 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: media is a way for people to interact with friends, family, 416 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: and for whom they are fans because a person's famous 417 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: or interesting. When people figured it out that anybody can 418 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: start a podcast, I was overwhelmed with emails, Hey I 419 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 2: started podcast, will you give it a listen? No, why not? 420 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 2: It's what you do. Yeah, Hey, I'm gonna rip the 421 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 2: engine out of my car and watch YouTube videos on 422 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: how to put it back together. Would you like to 423 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: come watch? No, I'm a master mechanic, exactly exactly. You're 424 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: good at what you do. I'm good at what I do. 425 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: If you want to do what I do, I'm not 426 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: going to participate in it, because you're not going to 427 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: be any good at it, just as I'm not any 428 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: good at being a master mechanic. So you fast forward 429 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: and the daughter came back, and so Dad gives her 430 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 2: a job and overpays her because it's a way to 431 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 2: give your kids money. Right, You hire your kid to 432 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: go to work for you and you get to work 433 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: with him. It's a good thing. And all of a sudden, 434 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: the daughter would have all these crazy ideas, are going 435 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: to use social media for Dad's valve shop or carburetor shop, 436 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: or roofing company or fill into blank asphalt company. And 437 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 2: it was the dumbest thing ever. And so you had 438 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: only social media pages popping up for companies, and the guy, 439 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: instead of focusing his energy on his business, would be 440 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 2: trying to appease his daughter, who told him he needed 441 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: a social media page. Well, no, he doesn't need to 442 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: make movies or write songs either. There are content creators 443 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: and then there are people who are You don't need 444 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: to be a content creator just because your daughter went 445 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: and got a degree in marketing from a college and 446 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: she's coming home and this is the only job she's 447 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: going to get. So she's going to create a social 448 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 2: media page for your valve company, which is the craziest idea. 449 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: Do you understand nobody wants to follow a valve company's 450 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: social media page. All that being said, you know who's 451 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: really really good at using social media a former two 452 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: time national champion University of Texas Longhorn football player named 453 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: Jim Mackingville aka Mattress.
