It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother. 3 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: I could feel a good one coming on. It's the 4 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: Michael Berry Show. When my kids were in elementary school, 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: they uh the I would drop them off in the 6 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: morning at school, which was one of my great joys 7 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: in life. If we lived too far from the school 8 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: to be able to get dropped off at the school, 9 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: as we lived out in the country and it was 10 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: two little country communities, mac Lewis and Orangefield, and to 11 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: get to the school was so far away that I 12 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: didn't you know, we rode the school bus, which look, 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade that for the world. It's an experience, 14 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: and you know there's a lot of people that can 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: identify with you know, I rode the school bus. You 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: rode the school bus, so I can talk about, you know, 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: the green linoleum or whatever that material pleather that they 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: stretched on there, and that the seat belts didn't work 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: and the ac didn't work. So you know, you were like, uh, 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: you know in what you see these people that they're 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: they're suffocating. You're trying to get out, you get your 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: head out the windows so you can breathe, and the 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: window was like the concession stand deal. But when I 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: got a little distracted there when when my kids were younger, 25 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: we lived close enough and it was on my way 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: into the studio that I could drop them off at 27 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: their school. And I will tell you it's one of 28 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: the great joys in life. I really enjoyed it, and 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: I felt like that was where I got my best 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: conversation time with them, especially in the morning, because in 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: the morning kids are still curious. There's interested. 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: One. 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: One of one of the great frustrations as a parent. 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: Every parent I know is going to nod their head 35 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: at this is that you pick your kids up from 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: school and how is your day? Fine? What'd you do? Nothing? 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: And I had another parent tell my wife and I 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: we were frustrated by it, and her kids were older. 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: And her name is Melissa Schnitzer. She's a great Republican 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: activist and and her family, her husband and his family 41 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: are are big builders of Houston's history. They built Greenway 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Plaza and she told us one time we were talking 43 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: about the fact. We said, Melissa, we pick up our 44 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,559 Speaker 1: kids from school and we're so excited to see them. 45 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: We've taken time out of our day in this, you know, 46 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: the stress and the seriousness of of the of you know, 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: your work day, and you pick up the kid and 48 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: you're ready for this just wonderful after school moment, and 49 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, how is you? They fine? What'd you do? Nothing? 50 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: And she said, you guys have to realize and she said, 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: it is such a mommy would say it. Those little 52 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: babies are tired. There were out. It's all they can 53 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: do to keep it together. They didn't poop their pants, 54 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: they didn't pee their pants. That they managed to go 55 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: out at recess and be so sweaty and come back 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: inside and you know, their their legs are bouncing around, 57 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: their hands are bouncing around. The teacher tells them, you know, 58 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: calm them down. They're trying to put them on, you know, 59 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: some drug that suppress their natural image. There's natural urges 60 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: to be little boys. They're they're stressed out of their 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: minds and they're tired. They keep it all together all 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: day and when they get in the car with you. 63 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, we would drop the kids off in the morning, 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: which was the real joy. And there was a there 65 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: was a principal who would say, as he was out 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: front as we were letting them out. Uh, sorry, when 67 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: we pick them up in the evening. No, no, it 68 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: wasn't morning. It wasn't the morning. As they would get 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: out and say hello to him, and then they would, 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, trundle off to the classroom, and he would say, 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: make it a great day. And I always thought that 72 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: was interesting. Instead of have a good day, which is 73 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: a very passive verb, pass a good day, have a 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: good day, Let there be a good day descend upon you, 75 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: it was make it a great day. What I love 76 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: about the term make America great again. What I love 77 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: about that term is it is a transitive verb. It's 78 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: an active verb. It's a verb that requires you to 79 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: take actions make this happen. We're not letting it happen. 80 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: America will not be great again because we sat back 81 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and didn't get in the way. America will only be 82 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: great again over the wishes of people on our own 83 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: soil who wish to stop that from happening because that 84 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: happening hurts them, because they're race baters. Black Lives Matter 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: does not want America to be a nation that where 86 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: blacks and whites get along perfectly harmoniously because nobody contributes 87 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: to Black Lives Matter, Nobody. They don't have the foot 88 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: soldiers to show up in the streets angry at the 89 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: world blaming all their problems on whitey. They don't have 90 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: all that if we don't have discord. So they sew it. 91 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: That's what they do. They're kind of the arsonist who 92 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: has a fire suppression company. Yeah, they get paid coming 93 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: and going. They want there to be a problem, then 94 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: they get to solve it. I read a piece this week. 95 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: I'll read it out at link next week. I just 96 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: have an chance to get to it. There's so much happening, 97 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: and it was about this discovery as these documents are 98 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: coming out of the problems that the FBI causes and 99 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: then claims to swoop in and solve, but actually they 100 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: cause it. And I think there are going to be 101 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: a lot of revelations that way. But back to the point, 102 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: making America great again, making America healthy again. I really 103 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: want to focus on this. I want to focus on this. 104 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: I want you to hang with me for just a moment, 105 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: and I want to focus on this because I've come 106 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: to the conclusion that we've reached a point. We did 107 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: our part to get Trump elected. Now, I notice a 108 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: lot of people are just kind of sitting back and 109 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: watching from the sidelines, and let's watch Trump go. No, 110 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: we've got to get down on the field. This is 111 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: self governance. This this only works if we're involved. And 112 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: now it's time for us to re engage in our 113 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: own personal lives and to talk about that coming up. 114 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 2: Or take me to Texas because he gets out of 115 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: this state. 116 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: I think Michael Barry robs Michael Very Show. 117 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: I like you. 118 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what he means to make America read again. Well, 119 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: let's start today. Why put off till tomorrow what you 120 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: could do today. I think of all the platitudes my 121 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: mother would say to me, and how much they make 122 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: sense to me now. So, for instance, the core of 123 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: a healthy civilization is a healthy family. The core of 124 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: a healthy family is a healthy marriage. You think about 125 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: how little of our society publicly celebrates marriage, happy, fruitful marriages. 126 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: When I hear some guy refer to his wife as 127 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: a ball and chain, or my old lady or whatever else, 128 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: I refer to my wife as my bride. And that 129 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: is my reminder to myself and to her that when 130 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: she was young and had the world according she chose 131 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: me and I chose her, and that commitment is everlasting. 132 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: A woman needs to know that because guess what you 133 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: might think to yourself, Well, she's not as skinny as 134 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: she was, she's not as pretty as she was. She's 135 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: not as well are you Because by the way, she 136 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: didn't go bald you did. She didn't get a big 137 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: old belly you did. We have to remember that inside 138 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: every woman. And I remember this, my girl. My wife 139 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: has never well it's not true, but she's almost never 140 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: cried in the thirty five years I've known her. She 141 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: runs marathons. She's physically tough, little bit thing, but physically tough, 142 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: she is stern, She's run five marathons. She's physically a 143 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: tough person. She's mentally a tough person. She's emotionally a 144 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: very tough person, steely like her dad. But I have 145 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: to remember, deep down, underneath all of that is a 146 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: little girl who at one point wanted her prince charming, 147 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: and your wife at one point wanted her prince charming. 148 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: And she said on you. And it's our job to 149 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: remind them that we know they's still a beautiful woman 150 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: inside there. And that's how we treat them and not 151 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: just physically, their spirit. They can be in a wheelchair, 152 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: they can be crippled, they can be on a walker. 153 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: There is in that person a vessel of beauty. It's 154 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. So, oh, shoot, Michael, why'd you remind me? Dad? 155 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: Gum it? 156 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: Yeah? So okay, So it may be hard to get 157 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: a reservation. Now, why don't you call her on the 158 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: way home say hey, you know what? Shame on me? 159 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: Oh what'd you do? No shame on me. I am 160 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: coming to you on bended knee. I just heard Michael 161 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: Berry talking about Valentine's Day, and I'll be honest with you. 162 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going to confess. I'm ashamed of myself 163 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: for saying this. I have been so busy at the office. 164 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: I've been so busy at school. I've been so busy 165 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: at work.

Do you remember that 179 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: time when I asked you to go here over so 180 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: and so and you didn't go. I was so bummed out. 181 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: And you remember that time I asked that girl to 182 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: ask you if if you like me? And you remember 183 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: that time that I yeah, yeah, that's because you drove 184 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: me absolutely crazy with lust or love or romance or 185 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: whatever else, and I thought I would do that. We 186 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: have to do these things as a society because husbands 187 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: and wives have to love each other. That's way more 188 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: than the sexual. But the sexual is still important. The 189 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: sexual is still important, but it's so much more than that. 190 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: And it troubles me, and it worries me that we 191 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: don't spend enough time making America great again, making America's 192 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: families great again, I'm not going to judge anybody for 193 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: divorce because I've been lucky. My girl's great, and I've 194 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: had friends who married a girl and she seemed like 195 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: she was normal and wonderful, and of course she was 196 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: pretty and turned out lurking deep beneath there was a 197 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: daddy issues having crazy nutjob who just want to fight 198 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: all the time, be jealous all the time, be mad 199 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: all the time, be selfish all the time. It can happen. 200 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, there's some guys who get lazy 201 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: in their own relationship and they become a bad person. 202 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not going to be down on somebody for divorce. 203 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: But we need to focus on this issue. We need 204 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: to really put effort into this issue. And why do 205 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: not I start today.

From now she'll say, 214 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, that really meant a lot to me that 215 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: if we had that conversation, I had forgotten all that. 216 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: It's never too late to start. If you don't have 217 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: plans in place, it's never too late to start. Stop 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: at the grocery store and get her a rose.

That's the one 228 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: person you ought to want to make happy more than 229 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: anything else.

You could have been wandering through 567 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: the Capitol. Things could have taken a turn because some 568 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: FBI informant or agent FBI plant started getting four or 569 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: five people together and started trying to bash out windows, 570 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: and you try to stop it.
