1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: Michael vari Show is on the air. 3 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: The CEOs of ten major US airlines are demanding Congress 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: and a funding standoff and pay its TSA workers. In 5 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: a letter, they claim ninety three percent of Americans support 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: paying aviation workers during government shutdowns. Did not expect to 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: start the line all deside in the barking garage? 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: Then did you come to the airport early? Very early? 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: Travelers waiting three hours or longer just to get through 10 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 3: TSA screening. Airport officials say the long lines are tied 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 3: to the partial government shutdown. 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: I think it needs to be cleaned up because it's 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: just not good. A lot of people are missing flights. 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: Well, some passengers got a heads up. 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 4: I think everyone has been communicated with so it's not 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 4: too stressful. 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: Others say they were blindsided. Did you expect anything like this? 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 5: No? 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 6: Not. 20 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: What's going are you going to mister plate? Probably? 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 4: Oh ghetto play, oh ghetto play. 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 7: Oh yeah. 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: I've been here several times and I never wants uh 24 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: seen this to this level. 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: There were also some minor delays at Bush Airport today. 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 3: The Deputy Secretary at DRESS is blaming all of these 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 3: delays on the Democrats and urging them to pass the 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: DHS funding bill. The Senate is expected to vote on 29 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: that bill tomorrow. 30 00:01:53,480 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 7: You play play. 31 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 8: The whole reason, as you just laid out, that DHS 32 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 8: is not funded right now, is because you're trying to 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 8: push the administration to enact some policy changes on how 34 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 8: border patrol and ICE act when they're out looking for 35 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 8: illegal immigrants. And now what you're saying is that you're 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 8: okay with funding TSA, which has been I think the 37 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 8: biggest point of leverage that you possibly had in order 38 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 8: to get what you want on ICE. Because ICE already 39 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 8: has its money. So what was the point of this 40 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 8: shutdown if you're okay with funding TSA, Well, we. 41 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 5: Never approach these things that are in front of us. 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 5: But respect to government funding in the context of leverage, play. 43 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 9: Get Up, Get Up, Get Up. 44 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 5: Tuesday. 45 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: Today's program is generously brought to you by the Green Sheets, 46 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: with the reminder that the Green Sheets brings you buyers. 47 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 5: The Green seat buyers. 48 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Did you ever buy anything in the Green Sheets? Never 49 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: did you ever list anything you You did not in 50 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: any way contribute to the activity of the Green Sheets. 51 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: If you were a Green Sheets user, people ran entire 52 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: businesses out of there. Like if you were at Green Sheets, user, 53 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: shoot me an email through the website Michael Berryshow dot 54 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: com and tell me what you bought or sold on 55 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: the Green Sheets. I would be interested to know. Airport 56 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: officials at Iah also known as Bush Airport, say travelers 57 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: today should expect over four hour wait times with TSA 58 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: checkpoints only open at terminals A and E. KPRC TV 59 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 1: with the story, you're. 60 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 10: Seeing people and passengers waiting to get through these security checkpoints. 61 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 10: So again, just a very very busy morning. I checked 62 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 10: online and right now it is showing a three and 63 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 10: a half hour wait time for folks out here. I've 64 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 10: got the chance to speak with a few people. They 65 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 10: told me they've been waiting in a line for about 66 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 10: forty five minutes. Others told me that their flight is 67 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 10: in eight hours, but they were coming early. We can 68 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 10: ask some folks here, how long. 69 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Have you all been waiting? Yesterday? 70 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 11: Since yesterday? 71 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: No, yesterday six out? 72 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 11: Yesterday was six You gave. 73 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Up and came back.

So this ongoing shutdown, 80 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 10: of course affecting TSA workers pay over the last month, 81 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 10: it's led to a lot of different callouts across the US. 82 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 10: So the Department of Homeland Security released Sunday's call out 83 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 10: rates from some of the most impacted airports. More than 84 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 10: eleven percent of TSA officers nationally have called out more 85 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 10: than thirty four hundred workers, and at the top of 86 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 10: the list is Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport with 87 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 10: more than forty two percent of their TSA staff calling out. 88 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 10: Bush Intercontinental came in at number three with thirty nine percent. 89 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: So again, we. 90 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 10: Are already seeing a very busy morning, long lines. We're 91 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 10: hearing from some of those passengers who say, in some 92 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 10: cases they've been waiting since yesterday, so a very busy morning. 93 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: So so our Congress has chosen to ruin people's vacations, 94 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: to create situations where people will now miss their child's graduation, 95 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: miss funerals, miss weddings, miss the closing for a deal. 96 00:06:52,200 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: They have chosen this. People sometimes ask how I can 97 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: make the statements I make about behave our God, we 98 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: like him. I hate them. I hate them on a 99 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: level that is hard to describe. I despise them. I 100 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: am not a person who forgets the next day that 101 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: you kicked me fifteen times. I don't come back for more. 102 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: I hate them. I want this. I want them to 103 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: suffer from this so much so that they are booed 104 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: at every sporting event, booed at every speech they give, 105 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: booed in every place they go and put. I hope 106 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: every one of them. I hope that for the rest 107 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: of their careers in and out of political life, I 108 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: hope they are ashamed to have been known as serving 109 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: in our government. Right now, this is so infuriating that 110 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: they did this to people and are continuing to do 111 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: this to people. 112 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 12: Now, say feature packs, refrigerators, Michael Berry show can't last long, 113 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 12: so hurry into cricket city. 114 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: There was a crash at LaGuardia. National Transportation Safety Board 115 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Chairman Jennifer Hammandy says one of their investigators heading to 116 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: New York's LaGuardia Airport to investigate the deadly crash was 117 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: stuck in the TSA line in Houston. So we've had 118 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: a crash at the airport in New York. The investigator 119 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be there to investigate it is in 120 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: Houston and can't get on a plane to get to 121 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: New York because that person can't get through the TSA line. 122 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: We are a broken country. These are the results of DEI. 123 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: These are the results of illegal immigration, stolen elections, DEI, 124 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: race based voting. This is what happens. This is what 125 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: happens when your guilt causes you to allow bad people 126 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: into powerful positions. This is what happens when you choose 127 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: people to lead who have no skills. This is what happens. 128 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: This is a result. That's where we are. We are 129 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: entangled in a mess, in snarled This is not going 130 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: to be easy to fix. This is a level of 131 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: dysfunction to such a degree, to such depths that it's 132 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: not simply going to be you get Donald Trump elected 133 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: and you solve your problem. So the director of the 134 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: National Transportation Safety Board placed calls and got the person 135 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: special treatment to get out of line and get on 136 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: a plane here is in TSB chair Jennifer Hammondy. 137 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 13: We have LaGuardia that was shut down. We had a 138 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 13: ground stop at Newark today, and then we have DHS 139 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 13: that shut down, and we have long TSA lines. 140 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: We have won our at our air. 141 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 13: Traffic controls specialist who was in line with TSA for 142 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 13: three hours until we called in Houston to beg to 143 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 13: see if we can get her through so we can 144 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 13: get her here. So it's been a really, really big 145 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 13: challenge to get the entire team here. And there's still 146 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 13: arriving as I speak. 147 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: Good grief, good grief in somewhere. We've got Jasmine Crockett 148 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: running around squawking. Well. The ghosts of Sheila Jackson, Lee 149 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: and Sylvester Turner haunt us. Nancy Pelosi is putting her 150 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: teeth back in. And what is Lindsey Grahamnesty doing in 151 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: the middle of all this. He's having a wargasm. Lindsey 152 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: Grahamnesty is having a wargasm in the middle of all this. 153 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: He couldn't help himself. He got so horned up he 154 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: did not know what to do. He just beyond excited. 155 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: Here he is calling on President Trump to send in 156 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: the Marines. 157 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 14: So here's what I tell President Trump. Keep it up 158 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 14: for a few more weeks. Take Carg Island where all 159 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 14: of the resources they have to produce oil, control that island. 160 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 14: Let this regime down, avine. 161 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 11: Is this going to take carg Island? Is it going 162 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 11: to involve US troops on the ground. 163 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: Let me just read you. 164 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 11: Something from the Atlantic does an assessment on that. They 165 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 11: say US troops may well take carg Island. We believe 166 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 11: their ability to do so, but only to endurabalistic missile strikes, 167 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 11: drone attacks, petrochemical smoke, all without a reliable means of 168 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 11: obtaining logistical support. The result could be a grinding war 169 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 11: of attrition. They talk about how far away they would 170 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 11: be from recent law. 171 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 14: I'm sort of tired of all this armchair quarterback. And 172 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 14: this has been an amazing military operation. 173 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: God bless the falling. But it's a difference. Let me 174 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: talk about troops on the I trust the Marines, not 175 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: that guy. 176 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 14: I trust DoD We got two marine expeditionary units selling 177 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 14: to this island. 178 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: We did ago Jima. We can do this the Marines. 179 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 14: My money is always on the Marines. I know if 180 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 14: you take the Allen are you blockade Allen, but I 181 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 14: know this the day we control that Alan, this regime, 182 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 14: this terrorist regime, has been weakened, it will down event vine. 183 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: There is something very very sick to hearing Lindsey Graham 184 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: and his fetish play out on national television. There is 185 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: something very very sick about the way he gets clearly 186 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: sexually excited over this idea of war. This is you 187 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: are watching your boys are going to die so that 188 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: this man can get off. This seventy year old, never married, 189 00:13:51,240 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: clearly effeminate, very very awkward, lisping Lindsey is threatening world 190 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: regimes and sending in them balays like paul In. It's weird. 191 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: It is weird on the creepiest, oddest level. And if 192 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: he was only risking himself, that'd be fine. But this guy, 193 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: this weird creep freak, is out here on national news 194 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: every night talking as if he is MacArthur or Patten, 195 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: when all he's ever done is cosplay a prisoner of 196 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: war with Lord knows what kind of escort. This is 197 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: so creepy weird that nobody is putting a stop to this. 198 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: He is out saying things that are putting parents in 199 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: a pain. I know because I hear from that is 200 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: putting parents in an absolute panic about sending their boys 201 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: into a war. And I don't care how big on 202 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: the Trump train you are, how maga you are, there 203 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: is not the widespread support to send our boys into war, 204 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: and Lindsey Graham is not the guy to mobilize it. 205 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: If ever there was. This weirdo creep freak show needs 206 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: to be brought to heal now is actually hiding from 207 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: Chuck Norris with the Michael Berry. Chuck Norris uses pepper 208 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: spray to season his meat. So you go somewhere and 209 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: you eat a cake and it's the best cake you've 210 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: ever eaten, and you wonder, they're still using butter and 211 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: sugar and milk and flour. What are they doing that's 212 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: so special? So over the years I have asked, is 213 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: it about George Straight? At the end of the day, 214 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: it's still three chords in the truth, it's still a voice, 215 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: it's still the same instruments. What about him was so special? 216 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: So I have asked that question for years and people 217 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: get aggravated. You know, they're aggravated because they can't answer it, 218 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: and they wish they could, but they don't have the answer. 219 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: To it. And so I got an email from our 220 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: friend Doub Millard, a singer, songwriter and student of such things, 221 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: and he said, there is something about his phrasing that 222 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: is university universally pleasing to the ear. It enhances the 223 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: existing melody like seasoning does to meet. So I said, maybe, 224 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: but he's just delivering the words he didn't write them. 225 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: Was working off the term phrasing. He's just delivering the 226 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: words he didn't write them. Are you saying that he 227 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: interprets those words and presents them to us in a 228 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: way that adds considerable value to the words themselves his 229 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: Remember he had said phrasing, and he said, not the 230 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: meaning of the words, but the way he phrases the 231 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: words makes the melody better. Again, I didn't understand, so 232 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: I said, I'm not trying to be tedious, Dub, and 233 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: I don't know as much as you do. I'm trying 234 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: to understand your perspective, not argue it. Did George Strait 235 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: change the phrasing. If he did, I didn't realize that. 236 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: I just assume he's saying would tell about Dean Dylon 237 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: Dean's lyrics as they were written, And he said vocal 238 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: phrasing had never heard that term. Vocal phrasing is unique 239 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: to each singer, so yes, George Strait changed it from 240 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: the way the writer probably phrased it by singing it 241 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: the way he would naturally sing it. For example, listen 242 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: to Bruce Robinson's recording of Rapped, then listen to George Straits. 243 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: Bruce wrote that song. Bruce's ex wife, Kelly Willis also 244 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: recorded it. All three will phrase it slightly differently. Perform 245 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: the same experiment with your favorite Dean Dylan recording. Willie 246 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: Nelson is famous for what they call backphrasing, which is 247 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: the way he kind of delivers a line slightly behind 248 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: the beat. It has to do with when to be soft, 249 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: when to be loud, pronunciation, choosing where to breathe, and 250 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: when to put the emphasis on the right salable quote. 251 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Vocal phrasing is the artistic delivery of a musical sentence, 252 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: combining breath control, timing, and dynamics to shape melodic lines. 253 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: It involves balancing lyrical meaning with rhythmic placement and musical structure. 254 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: Effective phrasing uses varied volume, tone, and breadth management to 255 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: convey emotion and then back to dub My contention is 256 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: that George Strait does it in a way that most 257 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: people like better when they hear it. He's also very 258 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: good looking, which helps. It's a good point, but I 259 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's fair to him to reduce his greatness, 260 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: which is transcendent, just to good looks. He's also not 261 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: very tall. I'm just surprising. I think my favorite picture 262 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: of George Strait is one they took at the rodeo 263 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: where he's got kind of his work boots on and 264 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: he's le leaning out and he's so thin. It's eighty 265 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: two eighty three, that first one, or maybe it's the 266 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: second one, and he's kind of leaning out and it's 267 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: like he's just becoming a real star. And he's got 268 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: his white dressed shirt and his little skinny is his 269 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: jean's on, and he's so skinny and so small, and 270 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: he seems so young and almost almost naive, but he's not. 271 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the bearing he will later have. It's 272 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: like he's very eager to be there, and it's just 273 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: it's so new and everyone's excited, and he's kind of 274 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: nervously excited, and he's reaching down out into the crowd 275 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: and he's shaking people's hands. I think that's my favorite, 276 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: my favorite George Strait because he kind of looks vulnerable 277 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: and young and impressionable and not sure about all this, 278 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: but yet you know, oh what is to come? I 279 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a great moment. It is a great moment. Indeed, Seth, 280 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: you're on the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir? 281 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 9: Hey? 282 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 15: How are you doing? Sir? 283 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm good? 284 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 15: Give me one second. Can you hear me a little 285 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 15: bit better? Now? 286 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? 287 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 15: Okay, So I had a question for you. I think 288 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 15: I heard either on the Sean Hannity Show or the 289 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 15: clam Bucks Show that the Democrats if they get into office, 290 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 15: that they're gonna do away with the Philibuster rule anyway. 291 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 15: So why are Republicans not doing away with this Philibuster 292 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 15: rule and getting the Save America Act pass? 293 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: They don't want the Save America Act past. We're playing 294 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: every kind of game we possibly can to come to 295 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: this conclusion. It is not until you force them in 296 00:21:54,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: a meaningful vote that is public, to admit what's going on, 297 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: that they will be forced to show they don't want it. 298 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: They didn't want the border closed, they don't want deportations, 299 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: the problem is there is an entire apparatus around them, 300 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: a propaganda machine to keep you from knowing that. Let's 301 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: take John Cornyn just because he's up in a runoff, 302 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: but it's true of a lot of them. John Cornyn 303 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: will tell you I vote with Trump over ninety nine 304 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: percent of the time until it really matters. But John 305 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Cornyn is a master of such things. See what they 306 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: do behind the scenes is they bring up a vote 307 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: they never intend to win. They bring it up and 308 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: then they send emails out, we're going to vote on 309 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: the Well, well, I'll say the same act here. That's 310 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: not even that it's true because it might accidentally pass 311 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: and they don't want that to happen. But they do 312 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: things like this because they have to have something to 313 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: campaign on every six years, and they've always got one 314 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: of their members because it's a rotating reelection. So every 315 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: two years, some of their little crew, their little klan, 316 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: are up for reelection, so they hold votes. We're going 317 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: to have a vote to balance the budget. Oh yeah, 318 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: those dead burned Democrats. I bet they're gonna oppose us. 319 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: You got to send us back so they have a vote, 320 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: and the deal is done. Washington generals are all in 321 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: on this. Globe Trotter's general on this, and Cornyn this 322 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: was his job is to tell who can vote for 323 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: it and who can vote against it based on who's 324 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: up for election. So they can, but they never intend 325 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: to pass any of it. Now, once you understand that, 326 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: you won't, at least you won't be disappointed in any lat. 327 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 5: It a hard time holding out this. 328 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: Can somebody else who knows let me know. Eddie Martini 329 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: is leaving out of Hobby Airport at two forty today, 330 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: flying to a company meeting in Los Angeles. He has 331 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: TSA and pre check and clear. Oh, TSA PreCheck and clear, 332 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: and he's just trying to find out if they're going 333 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: to be able to fly out or not.
