1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke. 4 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 3: I can feel a good one coming on. 5 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 4: It's the Michael Berry Show. 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 3: Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: by some as downright undemocratic. 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 5: We have been talking about I Can Feel a good one. 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary and the evolution of 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett. And when Jasmine Crockett came to the United 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 3: States Senate, she talked like everybody else. She didn't say 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: acts for ask she didn't misconjugate her b verbs. She 13 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 3: didn't talk in a manner that you were thinking, oh, 14 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: I bet her EBT account is low, or you know 15 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: she had three baby daddies in prison. She talked like 16 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: a young lady on the make. She'd come to Congress. 17 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 3: She was ambitious. She didn't wow you with her genius, 18 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: but you certainly wouldn't have thought she's a low performer. 19 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: But when she got there, she realized there's a lot 20 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: of that when needs that and got time for that. 21 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 3: So she started morphing into what she noticed was getting 22 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: better reaction. Much as Kamala did, and that was the 23 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: ghetto the ghetto stick. So the ghetto stick became kind 24 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: of what she did most of the time. And the 25 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: part that's offensive is it's inauthentic. Authenticity is everything. If 26 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 3: someone is the way they are, so be it. But 27 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: when you behave in this manner in a public life, 28 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: it makes one wonder are you doing that as the 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: ultimate insult unintended of your audience because you're giving them 30 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: back what you see in them? And then there is 31 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: the follow up, do you think they're so stupid they'll 32 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 3: believe it? And then there is the troubling question are 33 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: they so? Gavin Newsom is running for president in twenty 34 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: twenty eight. We all know it. Young man in a hurry. 35 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: That's he's trying to be a young Bill Clinton. And 36 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: so he was speaking to a black audience the other 37 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: day and he said a line that he's taken to 38 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: using a lot. He said, I'm not trying to impress you. 39 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: I'm trying to impress upon you that I'm just like you. 40 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: I have dyslexia. I can't read. You'll never see me 41 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: read a speech. I can't read. I only had a 42 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: nine to sixty on the SATA, and he basically lays out, 43 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: listen to you, stupid black people. I'm just like you. 44 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: I'm not very smart. Don't think of me as white privilege. 45 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: Think of me as just like you. This is a 46 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: guy who claims he grew up eating peanut butter and 47 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 3: jelly sandwich. Is maybe he did. His father and grandfather 48 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 3: are incredibly connected in California. His father was the right 49 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: hand man, conciliary lawyer fixer for the Getty family, one 50 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: of the three richest families in the world. 51 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 6: Not likely. 52 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: He claimed that the only thing he focused on as 53 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: a kid was ball, because you could just imagine him, 54 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: you know, playing basketball down at the you know, at 55 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: the corner court in who good. It's also grotesque this 56 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: desire to be what he thinks they want him to 57 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: be as a mirror to them, because it tells you 58 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: what he thinks of them, as malleable, manipulatable idiots. And 59 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: it's disgusting when Democrats do that, except that's what John 60 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: Wayne mccornyn is doing. Every six years, this swamp creature 61 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: comes back and tells you he loves Trump when he's 62 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: stabbed Trump. 63 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: In the back, that he's just like you. 64 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: He hangs out at places. He's just like you. He's not. 65 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: This is the most insulting thing ever. 66 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 7: John Wayne mccornyan is one of us. He is just 67 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 7: like us. Not a look of difference between John Wayne 68 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 7: mccornyn and neighbor that gets really into Halloween Bill. He 69 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 7: gets frustrated by the same things you do. In fact, 70 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 7: he hates political ads. He is so tired of political 71 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 7: ads that he can't sleep at night. He hates the 72 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 7: robo calls. Hell, he hates his own robo calls. He 73 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 7: hates the email spam, and he hates and I mean 74 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 7: hates the onslaught of text messages. John Wayne mccornyn is 75 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 7: so much like you that he even hates John Wayne mccornyn. 76 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 7: He's such a man of the people that he knows 77 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 7: you hate him, and he's right there with you, and 78 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 7: he'll tell you to your face if you join him 79 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 7: at one of the weekend cul de Sac parties in 80 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 7: his very normal subdivision. His neighbor will walk up and say, 81 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 7: you suck, and he'll go tell me about it and 82 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 7: then spit like he's disgusted. He's a self loathing, self 83 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 7: hating humiliated by how he betrayed. President Trump walking in 84 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 7: bear meant to himself and he's proud of it. He 85 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 7: knows you hate him, and he's right there with you. 86 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 7: He's so much like us that he can't stand himself. 87 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 7: It's complex. So when you step into the voting booth 88 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 7: that John Wayne mccornyn is well aware that you can't 89 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 7: stand him, and he's arm in arm with. 90 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: You because he's one of us. 91 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 8: Just in here listening my Ferry. 92 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: Paul from Bonney says that President Trump took a page 93 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: out of our book during his State of the Union speech. 94 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 3: Before we play this clip, remember when they said that 95 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 3: Trump wasn't presidential, it was very important that he be presidential. 96 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: And if he wasn't presidential, then he couldn't be president. 97 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: You know, he needed to be like the Bushes. You've 98 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: got to be presidential like Mitt Romney. You have to 99 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: stand up straight and use the right fork and spoon 100 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: at state dinners and have your shoes polished and use 101 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: the same words. Now, you don't have to ever do 102 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: anything good for your people. You can send us into 103 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: war after war. Nothing more presidential in America than sending 104 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: our boys in to be blown up. And you think 105 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: about the fact that Donald Trump did not start a 106 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: single new war. Every president before him in my lifetime had. 107 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: He didn't send boys to be brought home in body back. 108 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: So I guess he wasn't presidential because that's presidential. There 109 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: was this idea because see, there's a finishing school, and 110 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: finish school is coordinated through the types of people who 111 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: choose our leaders. Might sound like something Candice Owen says 112 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: or Tucker Carlson says, but there's an audience for conspiracy 113 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: theories because there's a kernel of truth to so much 114 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: of it. Americans are tired of being told that this 115 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: is what we should do, and this over here is bad. 116 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: We know the truth. We know we know the difference 117 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: between the truth and the shiny you know, facade they 118 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: give us. Anyway, here's what Lonnie had to say. 119 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 5: Hey, Michael, it's Lottie. Have you noticed how nobody says 120 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 5: that President Trump isn't presidential anymore? Do you remember that 121 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 5: old line back in the day. Now, I haven't heard 122 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 5: one person say that, because about as presidential as the 123 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: president can get, he that say of the end address, 124 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: he took a page out of year. Butook, Michael, you 125 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: know what he did. He listened up the heroes of 126 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: every day America, the people that had lost somebody, the 127 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 5: people that had satisfied something, the people that had done 128 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: anything they could for greatness because they're Americans, and turns 129 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 5: me up, touts me up. Because he didn't do anything 130 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 5: self dealing, hisself gratifying. He took that time he had 131 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 5: to show how stupid the Democrats are and how great 132 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 5: everyday Americans are. And what's more presidential than that? He 133 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 5: was the most selfless thing I've ever seen. So, you know, 134 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I just have to have to 135 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 5: say something because I try to be as non biased 136 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 5: as possible. I'm a little biased as amateur on supporter, 137 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 5: But my goodness, how can you not it? Just like 138 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 5: the Democratic I mean, how can you not get on 139 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 5: board with this guy who loves our country and wants 140 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 5: us to do good. Just I don't get it. But 141 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: he's amazing. Thanks R You're amazing too. Thanks for the 142 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 5: job you do every day. 143 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: Nice thing to say. Now, this may or may not 144 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: be this next caller, may or may not be who 145 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: he claims to be, but he claims to be President Trump. 146 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 9: Hello, Michael and Ramone, I'm sure you tuned into my 147 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 9: speech on Tuesday.

People are tired of it. 158 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: They're tired of, you know, fifteen twenty pieces of male 159 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: per day radio ads, TV ads, text messages. It's exhausting, 160 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 3: and it's exhausting in the way that if your child 161 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: is getting married and you know you have to go 162 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: through that whole process, you're just ready for it to 163 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: be over. Well, that's how most Texans are. But there 164 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 3: have been some interesting developments in Texas with John Cornyn. 165 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: If John Cornyan is defeated, that sends the strongest message 166 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: to Washington, DC that hey, guys, we know that you're 167 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: out to serve your master's special interest. We know you 168 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: don't serve us, but you're going to have to wonder 169 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 3: in the back of your mind before you do every 170 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 3: single thing. Is this going to be the reason I 171 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: lose my seat? You ever noticed how many of these 172 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: people are in their eighties, in their nineties and they 173 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 3: can't leave. Why do you think that is? They cannot 174 00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: walk away from it? 175 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Does that? 176 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: Don't you find that a little bit creepy? What is 177 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: it about it? If it was truly public service? Is 178 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: that what they would do? Does does somebody become the 179 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: homeowners association president in your neighborhood and they just won't 180 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: step down? And there they are at ninety and they're willing. 181 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: You got a violation? The grass is too how to No, 182 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: you do your thing and you leave right. Corning is 183 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: going to be And I'll tell you another one. We 184 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: haven't had a Republican incumbent lose their reelection bid since 185 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: twenty fourteen. And there's a very good chance Dan Crenshaw 186 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: does a very good chance. And anybody who points out 187 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: all the things they think he's doing wrong, he threatens 188 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: to sue him, which is really not a good look. 189 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 6: My money is Dan Crenshaw. Let me be perfectly clear. 190 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 6: If you say I got rich in the stock market, 191 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 6: I will sue you. That's right, lawsuit and papers, corporate 192 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 6: the whole thing. If your cousin's barber's podcast host says 193 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 6: I timed a few trades, well, lawyer, if your mother 194 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 6: hence at portfolio performance lawyer, if you even think the 195 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 6: phrase insider trading and my general direction the lawyer. Now, 196 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 6: apparently some of you have questions. I've seen the comments. 197 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 6: I've heard the chatter, like that young lady at the 198 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 6: town hall who raised her little hand and politely asked 199 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 6: about something I once said about Jesus, And I said, hey, 200 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 6: little girl, with all due respect, goat yourself. You can't 201 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 6: take my words and remember them. 202 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: That's not how it works. 203 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 6: Look, I fight for you every day, and if you disagree, 204 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 6: I'll fight you too. I'm Dan Crenshaw, and don't ever 205 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 6: question my faith or if I approve this message. 206 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: From the mail band, A fellow named Walsrom sent me 207 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 3: a long email, too long, frankly, and I'll just gel 208 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 3: it down to the two paragraphs I think, or the 209 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 3: thrust of his argument. He said, Yesterday's grilling of Secretary 210 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: Clinton is a great example of an unforced error. I 211 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 3: dislike her and have never supported her, but that spectacle 212 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: came across to me as a waste of time and 213 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: money and was mean spirited and wrong. You have said 214 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: that this woman, who I dislike, is a savvy politician, 215 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 3: So the Republicans now give her the opportunity to step 216 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: in front of the press and eviscerate the work of 217 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: the committee. If she and her husband are questioned for 218 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: many it raises a question of why they are not 219 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: interviewing President Trump. These are issues that now get great 220 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: attention to the detriment of the president, which would not 221 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: have gotten this attention if Hillary and Bill had not 222 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: been called. And here is my response to that. You 223 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: are operating under the premise that we should never do 224 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: much of anything because it will always come across as 225 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: mean spirited when you look beyond one's own opinions. I 226 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: can tell you this, sending Hillary Clinton to prison for 227 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: life would be the most popular thing Donald Trump could 228 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: ever do. He doesn't have that power, but it would be. 229 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: Let's start with this promise. Americans have had to live 230 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: through now almost thirty five years of Hillary Clinton they've 231 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: had to watch after nine to eleven Benghazi and it 232 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: later being exposed what all happened, including good men who 233 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: died out of that, and her saying at this point, 234 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: what difference does it make? That is a burning rage. 235 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: So dragging Hillary Clinton before Congress answer questions? You see 236 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: that as a misstep. I see that as if you 237 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: don't give the base something to bite into, you lose them. 238 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: I don't think our problem has been too many, as 239 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: you call them, unforced errors. I think our problem hasn't 240 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: been not suiting up. Unforced errors can be worked through. 241 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: If you make a mistake, that's fine. If you think 242 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: that dragging Hillary Clinton and now Bill Clinton before Congress 243 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: makes them bigger, stronger, then why do you think they 244 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: fought like hell to keep from going. If you in 245 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: some way think Hillary Clinton is in a better position 246 00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: today than she was before that, then you're you're a suer. 247 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 3: Mean that her reaction to being dragged down there was 248 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 3: fake and it's not. They have pulled every maneuver they 249 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: could to avoid going before the Commerce. They don't want 250 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: to be dragged down there. So one of the things 251 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: I've noticed about our side is that our side is 252 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 3: very decent, and that's good. Our side is very kind, decent, nice. 253 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: These are things sort of a Christian ethic that are important, 254 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: and that's that's a good thing. But our side lacks 255 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: the killer instinct. And that is the reason we don't 256 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: finish games. That's the reason when we get up on teams, 257 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: we let them come back and beat us, because we 258 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: can't finish him, as the Arcade game would say, because 259 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: we'd feel bad to do so. We feel bad. It 260 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 3: was mean spirited to drag her down there, let me 261 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: tell you, so mean spirited. Do you know how many 262 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: people were howling at their television, Lock her up, lock 263 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 3: her up. Do you have any idea myself included, how 264 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 3: many people feel that way? When you say, don't bring 265 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: her down, it looks mean. You don't understand. You're not 266 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 3: in touch with the sentiment of Americans. A lot of 267 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: people think that your politics should play to the middle. 268 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: This is an error a lot of people make. Hey, 269 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: you know, I've asked four of my friends. First of all, 270 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: whatever four of you friends say, it's never a cross 271 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: section of America. Just know that no matter what your 272 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: four friends say, your four friends are your echo chamber. 273 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: Now one of them was black. Well, I was just 274 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: paying it. We were in the kitchen at the office. Okay, 275 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 3: they still have a regional bias because you're all in 276 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: the same place. That's not a solid cross section. But 277 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: let's play a long A lot of people believe that 278 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 3: what we ought to do is we ought to do 279 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 3: things that avoid upsetting people that are easily upset by 280 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: the political game. You know, I gotta tell you a 281 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 3: lot of people don't like Trump. Okay, so so Trump 282 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: needs me more nas. Okay, you know Trump Trump's Our 283 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: problem is. 284 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 5: He is he? 285 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: Because Trump won the nomination and the White House in 286 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, and there were a lot of Republicans that 287 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: didn't think we'd ever win the White House again, but 288 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 3: he did, and in twenty twenty he won again. And 289 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: I know it upsets people because it's not nice to 290 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 3: say they cheated, but most everybody with a brain understands 291 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: they cheated. And then in twenty twenty four he came 292 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: back and won again after they convicted him a fella kniece. 293 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 3: So you want to tell me what the American people 294 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 3: want and don't want? Nice people finish last in the 295 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 3: political process. We've had a lot of nice people. We 296 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 3: had John McCain in two thousand and eight. He didn't 297 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 3: want to criticize the upstart Democrat Barack Obama, who just 298 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 3: wanted hope and change. He just wanted every America to know, yes, 299 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: we can, that's all he wanted. And he's a black fellow. 300 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: Well couldn't we have a black president? And deep down, 301 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: John McCain agreed. So John m McCain didn't push back, 302 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: he didn't attack, he didn't point things out because John 303 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: McCain's a nice guy, and in your mind, John McCain's 304 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 3: what we need because he didn't make anybody mad. He 305 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: didn't say anything controversial. Twenty twelve, Mitt Romney Obama wins again. 306 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 3: But at least Mitt Romney wasn't mean spirited. He let 307 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: him beat the snot out of him and say the 308 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: most awful things about him, and he took it and 309 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 3: he lost like a good Republican does, because that's what 310 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 3: our nice neighbors want us to do, not be mean spirited. 311 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 3: Let me tell you something I want more mean spirited. 312 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 3: I want the Clintons in prison. I don't care if 313 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: that makes you cringe. I want them in prison. I 314 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: want people in the FBI locked up for what they've done. 315 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 3: I am not your nice neighbor. You have me mistaken. 316 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 3: I want the people who've done awful things to this 317 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: country locked up and sent away as if they had 318 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: ambled around the Capitol on January sixth. There's your precedent, 319 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 3: the Michael Berry Show. 320 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: Please clap, please, please clap. 321 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: You young folks don't know this, but that was a 322 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: time not so long ago. Your grandparents listened to music 323 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 3: on the AM radio. Huh yeah, that's true, crazy right. 324 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: Amplitude modulation a signal that can go a long way, 325 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: but it's not very tight and crisp. It's sort of 326 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 3: like taking the concentrate and diluting it. That's how the 327 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 3: sound is can sound staticky. And then frequency modulation began 328 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: the FM dial, and it's a light sound. You can 329 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: hear the bass better, you can hear it clearer, not further, 330 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: but clearer. And for the musical format, which was almost 331 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: the entirety of radio, that was a game changer. You 332 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 3: could hear the instrumentation, You could hear that Mogue synthesizer 333 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: making those great sounds. You could hear the downbeat, you 334 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: could hear aspects of music that you couldn't hear before 335 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 3: because again it was kind of diluted and fuzzy. But 336 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: then the AM dial struggled for a long time. And 337 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: but for Rush Limbaugh, who really made National Talk into 338 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 3: something that was viable, and now it's thriving. The am 339 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 3: dial was dying. People were sending back their license, they 340 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: were closing am stations. I say all that say this, 341 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: not every day you hear a song as it would 342 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: have been in the past on the AM dial. But 343 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: a friend of mine named Justin Van Samp, he used 344 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: to work for me. I had a bar concert venue, 345 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: barbecue restaurant membership club called the RCC and it was 346 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 3: really more of a community gathering for our listeners in Houston. 347 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: I may do it again, close close to having a 348 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: deal done it to do it again. It was fun. 349 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 3: I miss it. I miss getting to see listeners because 350 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 3: I talked to you and you listen to me, but 351 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: we never get to see each other, and I actually 352 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: really enjoy that. So anyway, so this guy named Justin 353 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: Van Samp, he was a he had a day job, 354 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: but he was a performer at our club and he 355 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 3: was a fan favorite and a super nice guy. And 356 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: we ended up bringing him in as a shift manager, 357 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 3: and he was well liked because he was respectful to 358 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: the ladies. He's very happily married to the woman he loved. 359 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: They were just starting to have kids. He was happy 360 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 3: to have a stable job because being a full time 361 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 3: musician wasn't, you know, not the provider you'd like to be, 362 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: Not the lifestyle you'd like to be when you're happily 363 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: married and want to be at home with your wife 364 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: every night. And he did the best cover of Neon 365 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: Moon I've ever heard anybody do the Brooks and Doune song. 366 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: It's actually not even originally in books and done so. 367 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 3: But anyway, so we've talked over the years, and over 368 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 3: the years we talked about you know, he went on 369 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 3: to have another job with a friend of mine from 370 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: Beaumont n And Chris Spears, and he's worked in the 371 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: equipment business and now he's more sort of he's much 372 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 3: more dealing with people in the oil patch and kind 373 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: of more traditional old fashioned job. But he still keeps 374 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 3: his guitar and he'll still play it at events, and 375 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 3: he still keeps up his musical side, and his wife's 376 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 3: a big supporter, is a sweetheart of a wife. But 377 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: we talk about the fact that you're moving through life. 378 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: And for him, you know, he dreamed of being up 379 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: on stage every night the Travis Trent song I will 380 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: be somebody. People are going to come from miles around 381 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 3: to hear me perform. And there comes a point in 382 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 3: your life where you realize that what matters most is 383 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: at home my wife. And then you got those kids 384 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: and they need daddy there. I don't need to be 385 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: out playing up on stage for people. I need to 386 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 3: be at home with my kids. And so you make 387 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 3: lifestyle changes, but they're still in the back of your 388 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 3: mind this idea that you know, that was how I 389 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 3: saw myself, and you don't want to die inside. So 390 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 3: it's a compromise you have to make. And everybody makes 391 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 3: that compromise one way or another. You know, when they 392 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: realize they're not going to be a professional athlete, or 393 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: if they are a professional ath they're not going to 394 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 3: be forever. And you know, there's so many of these 395 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: things that we deal with. So in the midst of 396 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: it all, he wrote a song called like Whitley and 397 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 3: he said it to me and I've played it about 398 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 3: a year ago before he was finished with it, and 399 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 3: I thought I would close the show with it because 400 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 3: I think it's beautiful. It's deep he's talking about he's 401 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: just finished the song. It's not anyway, but it's about 402 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 3: the fact that you have to decide who and what 403 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 3: you are, and you may not be the famous musician, athlete, 404 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 3: businessman you had planned on being, but you can leave 405 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 3: a legacy that matters. And I thought that was a 406 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: great message to end the week on. As you prepare 407 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 3: for the weekend and you think about what's going to 408 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: be your legacy. 409 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 8: I never thought I was put on this ert play guitar. 410 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 8: I never wonted the fame, never wonted to tell kid 411 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 8: wait too far. Only wanted to. 412 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: Be good man to a good woman, raised a couple 413 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: good kids.
