1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: The Michael Varry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 3: It's Charlie from BlackBerry's mart I can feel a good 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: when coming on. 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 4: It's the Michael Berry Show. 6 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: Oh yes. It is the concept of the martyr. It 7 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: may rt love mart It comes from the Greek martis. 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: It means testimony or witness. The concept of the martyr 9 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: or martyrdom. The concept of becoming a martyr or being 10 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: a martyr is tinged in the idea that in a 11 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: death or a reason related to principle, usually faith, could 12 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: be politics, that that person's life is then elevated above 13 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: simply as the rest of us die of heart attacks 14 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: and car accidents and cancers and all the ways the 15 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: maladies that befall us that end our days, the idea 16 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: is to take that body and lift it up, to 17 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: elevate it, to celebrate it, to honor it, to mourn it. 18 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: And in this concept is very powerful. We haven't really 19 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: seen it in modern Western civilization the way we have 20 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: for Muslims, and Muslims who've been fighting this intifada of 21 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: their of their great interest for quite some time, have 22 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: to find ways to motivate young mostly men, to engage 23 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: in what is basically an act of suicide and to 24 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: be willing to give their lives in this war in 25 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: which they see themselves in the process. They say to 26 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: these young recruits, you will be martyred, and you know 27 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: what they're said to receive in heaven and all of 28 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 2: this and this concept goes back throughout human history. It 29 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: is across the globe. You know, the kamikaze. You know, 30 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: I think Americans, those American airmen and cormen and seamen 31 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: who fought in World War Two came back with a 32 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: grudging respect, almost admiration for those deadly Kamakazis. I'm fascinated 33 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: by the ritual that occurred before the kamakazi mention, a 34 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: mention mission which these rituals were rooted in something called bushido, 35 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: which was the code of the samurai, very ancient Japanese 36 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 2: tradition and the Shinto beliefs and wartime nationalism. You're doing 37 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: this for your country, so you were doing it for God, 38 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: You're doing it for your race. You're doing it for 39 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: your country, and in the process you will become you 40 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: will transition upon death into what's known as a kami 41 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: aam I or kami you want in English, that's the kamma, 42 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: kami kazi. You transition from manhood, from humanity into being 43 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: a god. What happened to Charlie Kirk is the most 44 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: awful thing imaginable, and his wife and children will suffer 45 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: his loss, at least for now. There are a lot 46 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: of people around. At least for now the nation is 47 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: I heard today sixty two thousand new applications for TPUSA chapters. 48 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: Can you imagine sixty two thousand. Charlie Kirk did not 49 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: die in vain, He did not die in silence. He 50 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: was not forgotten. He will be missed, But more importantly 51 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: than being missed is that he will be honored. But 52 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: he won't be honored with tears and wailing. I mean, 53 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: there will be plenty of that this weekend. There is 54 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: a mission associated with his martyrdom, and for a man 55 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: who lived his life for that mission, I can think 56 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: of no greater tribute. It's overwhelming when I think about it. 57 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: This man was an evangelist. In the light of Billy Graham. 58 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: Political activism is rooted in our Christian activism. He was 59 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: a great evangelist and he's been martyred, and great things 60 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: are happening in our country. This is an awakening, Michael, 61 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: I lost the plot somewhere. 62 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 5: You did. 63 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: Started hearing from parents about a There's a school in 64 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: Houston called Stratford High School. It's not in the Houston 65 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: Independent School District. It's in the Spring Branch Independent School District, 66 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: which is just west of downtown. And this is as 67 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: reliably republican part of town as you can count on. 68 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: And they applied for a TP Turning Point USA chapter. 69 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: The kids applied for it, They followed the rules. They 70 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: went to the school and said, you know, we know 71 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: we have to have a sponsor to have a school organization, 72 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: and we'd like to applied for a chapter. We've been 73 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: granted TPUSA approval. And the school asked if there were 74 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: any teachers willing to be their sponsors. And so there was, 75 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: as I understand it, a black Nigerian soccer coach who 76 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: said he would do it, and a white woman who 77 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: I think I may have this wrong. There's a lot 78 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: of different versions around who I think is also maybe 79 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: a soccer coach and a teacher. Either way, there were 80 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: two teachers who agreed to serve as sponsors. Which they're 81 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: required to. The group started an Instagram page and they 82 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: announced the other students, we're going to we're about to 83 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: get our approval to be a chapter on there. We're 84 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: going to have our first meeting today, which would be today. 85 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: This all happened on Monday or Tuesday this week. And 86 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: then there is this group of evil, awful white liberal 87 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: witches and they call themselves something like, you know, tormenting 88 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: children in public schools. That they've got some name, but 89 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: they're very involved locally in digging into the schools and 90 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: trying to make the schools very liberal, and truth be told, 91 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: they will ruin some young people's lives. There will be 92 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: some young men who are unsure of their sexuality, unsure 93 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: of their sexual role. They don't feel as manly, they 94 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: don't want to play in the dirt, they don't want 95 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: to play football, so they start questioning themselves. And these 96 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: groups like this will talk that kid, will put so 97 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: many drugs into that kid, and talk that kid into 98 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: cutting his wiener off, and then when he's thirty years old, 99 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: he'll blow his brains out. And it happens, and it 100 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: happens too often, and they will claim they're doing it 101 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: because they love the child, and now the child loves themselves. 102 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: And these confused young people just trying to fit in. 103 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: You'd be shocked how many people that are listening to 104 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: us right now who are very well balanced adults, parents, 105 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: business owners, cops, firefighters, lawyers, doctors, nurses, preachers, teachers, and 106 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 2: if you're honest, you didn't fit in either. You were 107 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: an outcast. You couldn't find your tribe, you couldn't find 108 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 2: your group. And it wasn't until you went off to college, 109 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: or it wasn't n til you went off to the Marines, 110 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: or it wasn't until you went to welding school. You 111 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: didn't fit in. Girls, you didn't fit in. That happens, 112 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: but not fitting in while it can torment you. The 113 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: last thing you need is somebody is your bad wolf 114 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: over your shoulder, pulling at your ear and telling you 115 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: to do all these self destructive things and put all 116 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: these hormones in your body that are the opposite sex 117 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 2: that you were born from.

Michael verrychow. 203 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 7: Good. 204 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: They have begun to the governor of Virginia, and I'm 205 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: hoping what has happened this past week with spur folks 206 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: who otherwise wouldn't it out to vote, to go out 207 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 2: and vote, and to vote for the most qualified, best 208 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: candidate who just happens to be a black woman, which 209 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: would set all sorts of records precedents in Virginia. That's 210 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: not a reason to vote for her. It's just a 211 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: cool little cherry on top. Because when we get scared 212 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: or we get angry, our folks who normally don't vote 213 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: show up and vote.

The White House 217 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: posted this video as a tribute to Charlie Hirk, and 218 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: it is beautiful. 219 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: Good evening. 220 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: My name is Erica Kirk. 221 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk is my husband. 222 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 7: Charlie always said that when he was gone. 223 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 8: He wanted to be remembered for his courage and for 224 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 8: his faith. 225 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 7: Now and for all eternity, he will stand at his 226 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 7: Savior's side wearing the glorious crown. 227 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: But murder.

It's a story that I 283 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: had hoped to tell Charlie myself in the next couple 284 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: of months when I first met Charlie. This is the 285 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: kind of guy he was. He was so gracious. I 286 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: first met him, he was young, and I said, so, 287 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: what do you want to do?

I'm I want to do 290 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: what you do. Let me translate, I want to be 291 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. 292 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: He didn't want to be me. He wanted to be 293 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: Russia Limba. 294 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: He wanted to be one of the as Rush said, 295 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: radio's greatest of all time. And I remember thinking, well, kid, 296 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: maybe someday, because I think you have it. I brought 297 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: something with me today that I thought was appropriate while 298 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: I did the show that I would sit in front 299 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: of Charlie's microphone. 300 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 5: It was given to me after the death of Rush 301 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 5: Limbaugh by his wife. 302 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: It is Russia's golden microphone. 303 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: I think it's appropriate. 304 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: That it sits in front of Charlie's microphone. 305 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: What I would have. 306 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 5: Said to Charlie was, you were thinking too small. 307 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 2: I want to be Rush Limbaugh. Someday. I'm a broadcaster. 308 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Rush was a broadcaster, but Charlie was a broadcaster and 309 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: a narrow caster. Charlie was a pastor and a priest, 310 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: and listening to the way. He could argue and think differently. 311 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: He was a rabbi as well, and one of the best. 312 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: He was a political organizer. He was a political think 313 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: take himself. He was a compassionate friend.

Change. Change is good is the 327 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 6: American ethos and your Paris on the universities. Why liberals 328 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 6: win is because it's like air. You have a balloon, 329 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 6: you pump a little bit of air in it, and 330 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 6: it expands and brings you get a bigger balloon or pops. 331 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 6: So when liberals who are progressive, progressive is an impression 332 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 6: of change. Don't do things the way you do. You 333 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 6: don't want your kids to grow up to be you. 334 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: You want to. 335 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 6: Teach your kids to experience many things and make their 336 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 6: own decisions. But you're a product of your environment. College 337 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 6: is open discussion. That's how the Vietnam More protests came up. 338 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 6: You could gather in groups and force change, and change 339 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 6: is good in the American infos. Liberals gather a balloon, 340 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 6: they grow it a little bit, they get a bigger balloon, 341 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 6: they grow it a little bit. So there's a creep, 342 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 6: just like lifestyle creep. If you have more money, you're 343 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 6: going to run into lifestyle creep. So that is how 344 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 6: liberal expands and the conservatives are the moderation of change, 345 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 6: saying is this good? So was the Boston Tea Party 346 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 6: good or not? It started the Revolutionary War. Nobody ever 347 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 6: says what England was using the tax foot, whether it 348 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 6: was good or bad. They just say taxation without representation, 349 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 6: and we fought and many people died. But nobody ever 350 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 6: says what England uses that tax for. Maybe the t 351 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 6: cast was good, but change. We wanted to change, and 352 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 6: change is always upsetting no matter what you do. Internet 353 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 6: is a good example. No matter what you do in 354 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 6: an organization or a country or society, change is going 355 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 6: to be disrupted. Change management is a skill. 356 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: Anyhow. 357 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 6: The whole point is, it's back to the Bill causby record. 358 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 6: Why is there air? It's because there's air anyhow, Liberals 359 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 6: talk about change. Actually it started. I up and went 360 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 6: to college when the Vietnam what protests were going on. 361 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 6: I went to a I had a professor with a 362 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 6: black armband to say, why are you here. 363 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: We've had discussions. 364 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 6: I said, because I need to learn this calculus. That's 365 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 6: why I came to college. So I'm coming to your class. 366 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 6: You need to teach me. And he said that's a 367 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 6: damn good reason. And he went on. Even though he 368 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 6: originally chastised me for not being out protested to get 369 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 6: a black armband. I came to do my job. I 370 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 6: listened to him, I talked to him and everything. But 371 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 6: he was very, very liberal. But on that class he 372 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 6: taught the calculus for assense. And liberals now have progressed 373 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 6: to the point that it's acceptable for the professors in 374 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 6: the name of of academic freedom to prush for change, 375 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 6: expand the balloon. Anyhow, I hope your kids end up 376 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 6: going to college and having growing through the gross pirts 377 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 6: from a high school. An eighteen year old compared to 378 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 6: a twenty two year old, there's. 379 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: A world of difference. 380 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 6: So there's a lot of growing. They're going to be 381 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 6: exposed to a lot of things. I hope they end 382 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 6: up getting an education because education was a currency of 383 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 6: the US American culture. Education was value. That's how you 384 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 6: end up making your life. 385 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 10: Well, let me say, I appreciate your call, appreciate you 386 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 10: being willing to share your own story and your perspectives. 387 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 10: There are a number of things I would clarify from 388 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 10: my own perspective. It's important for people who are new 389 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 10: to our show, and since Kirk Kreutzchmeyer and the folks 390 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 10: at Premiere have been so good at adding so many 391 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 10: new stations for many of you, we are new to 392 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 10: your market and we're a little different flavor. So I 393 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 10: have to warn you there's some horse radish in here, 394 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 10: there's some peco in here, there's a little there's a 395 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 10: little sting, little bite to what we do and it's 396 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 10: something of an acquired taste. So some of the things 397 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 10: we say are not perhaps typical of what you've heard 398 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 10: on talk radio before. And one thing you need to 399 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 10: understand is my approach to calls is I don't. 400 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: Endorse what a caller says. I believe in the marketplace 401 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: of ideas. So I hear people sometimes say, oh, you 402 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: had so and so. You know, they'll say of a 403 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: TV host, you had so and so on, and you 404 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: didn't check him on that, you didn't challenge him on that. Well, 405 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: I subscribe to the theory of letting a guest, whether 406 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: that be a caller or a book author or somebody 407 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: promoting something or whatever else, make their point because I 408 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: trust you to discern from that how you apply that 409 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: to what. So I don't agree with some of what 410 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: Tim said, but I also don't feel the need to 411 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: cut a person off. I will say one area where 412 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 2: I say I disagree is I have long believed I've 413 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: long disagreed with the notion of what it means to 414 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: quote get an education, a phrase that my parents use. 415 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: I don't know that the sole exclusive way you get 416 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: an education is go to a college campus. I think 417 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: that education should be a lifetime experience, and that successful 418 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: people learn because they're curious over the course of their lives. Often, 419 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: when I meet people who do things or have life 420 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: experiences that are quite unlike my own, they will say, 421 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: why are you asking me so many questions? Because I'm curious? 422 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 2: Because I find the process of acquiring knowledge and experience 423 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: and perspective to be thrilling and invigorate. It's like a drug. 424 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: And maybe it was my mom who taught me that 425 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: when I saw her reading, and for Christmas every year 426 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 2: I got books. I remember in one of the book 427 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: it was a little book collection of about eight little 428 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: paperback books, a little small enough you could hold in 429 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: one hand, and one of them was the Last of 430 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: the Mohicans James Fenimore Cooper, and I remember to this day. 431 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 2: I started reading it on Christmas Day and I was 432 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: transported to the planes and the Indians, and the battles 433 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: and the battle cries, and the savagery and the bravery 434 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: and the fears and the blood, and it was amazing. Well, 435 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: I didn't need to go to a university to learn, 436 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: to expand, to experience. I don't think you have to 437 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: go to a university to learn. I think A lot 438 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: of guys' education occurred in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, 439 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: or at Bagram Air Force Base or on the streets 440 00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: of Ramala, or at boot camp or in Mogadishu.
