AM Show Hr 1 | Ozempic Dancers, Cornyn the Trumpkin, and a Brand-New Phone System

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast. Or, as happens for more than anything else, somebody sent me an email, say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast. One of them's a good buddy of mine. His name is Ray Breyer's. And he owns the Pipeyard Inc. And what he does on his cell phone is people call and go, hey, I got a 118 mile pipeline going through Louisiana into Mississippi. And he says, all right, let me go check it out. He goes out. He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process. And people call him all from our show, from our podcast, all over the country. Thepipeyard, inc.com. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe. Talk to Ray, the pipe ma'amma, good buddy. Did you know that most insurance companies will pay for a man to have testosterone replacement if he's below 350? Isn't that interesting? You've probably heard that testosterone will, well, invigorate you. Your wife may enjoy that, or she may want to be left alone, but your wife may enjoy that. You may enjoy that. But there's so much more. Let me tell you. More energy, more strength, you feel better. Synergenics. Go get your blood tested. Our newest show sponsor here on the podcast, and it is enterprise foundry.com. They pour all grades of ductile and gray iron. Don't you love saying that, Ramon? Casting's up to a thousand pounds. Nobody does this on American soil anymore, but they do. They specialize in low to medium volume, in-house pattern shop for fast, low-cost tooling, and they love the Michael Bari Weiss Show, and they share our values, and you want to do business with people like that. EnterpriseFoundry.com. It's that time. Lock and load.

Very show is on the air. Good morning, Michael. Good morning, czar. Oh, yeah, this is the macho man, Randy Savage, saying, good morning, Michael Beard. Good morning, Texas. Listen to the czar. Good morning, Texas. At home or in your car. Good morning, Texas. is on his D and we're happy to be here to talk about everything. Hey, good morning. We're not wearing pants. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, Texas. Good morning. Good morning. Getting a little cooler, Ramon. Ooh, boy, this is when I like it. Get rid of that edge of that heat. Man, it is hard to be in a good mood with that damn heat. You got to work at it. Wow. As it starts cooling like this, boy, I like this a lot. I like this a whole lot. Today is the first day that we are trying out our new phone system. This has been months in the making. One of those goofy things I do, we started in the business with what's called a T-L-O-S phone system, which is what most of the big radio companies. It was the system that they used. And I focused on the 10 things it didn't do that I wanted it to do. And I would get aggravated at our engineer, Bob Strew, whose job it was to keep us on the radio. The job was not to make me happy. And so his job was to keep things from falling apart. Well, I would constantly make mental note of all the things I didn't like about our phone system. And one day, one day I would have my own studio and I would build my own phone system and it would be just to my liking. Well, fast forward to a few years ago, and we start in our new studio. And I am going to do the system that I talk to people all over the country that do what we do, other talk show hosts. And I arrive on a web-based platform, and it's going to be it when I'm traveling. I can just log in. I can take calls right there from the spot, drop a call, put it on hold, the whole thing. Well, as you might imagine. That did not work out very well. And it was glitchy and it has affected our phone call ability. And I enjoy taking calls on the show. So we finally broke down. And at the beginning of this year made the decision that we were going to transfer over, which is not a small matter because you have to do this while you're also still doing shows. And that has been bit by bit by bit. And they flipped the switch, our engineer, yesterday or last night.

and we shall see. So today will be interesting. At some point, I'll open the phone lines. Maybe we'll open the phone lines now in case somebody needs to call in, and that will be our opportunity to start taking calls and working through that system, because I'm probably going to goof it up in one way or another. So much to talk about today. So much is happening. Tell you what, I wish we had more time for Trump, but I think also the artificially constricted time forces him to have to do more and do it fast. We'll get into some of what they're doing. The government is officially shut down. I don't know if you've noticed. I don't know how much that's affecting your life. Just so you know, the government is shut down. You can spew it. You can speed. You can do whatever you want, Ramon. Nobody can stop you. So you're supposed to care, but nobody actually cares, except the media and the politicians for whom we're all supposed to be really invested in this game of chicken. I'm not. You can be if you want to. All right. During the halftime show, Between two historically black colleges and universities, Florida A&M University and Alabama State University, there were some girls on the dance team for one of the schools, which was Alabama State, and those girls are big girls. When I say big girls, I don't mean they're carrying a few extra pounds. These girls are three and a half bills on the hoof. They are big girls. I mean, really big. Like Lizzo big without playing the flute. These are big girls. And the announcer for Florida A&M University as the girls came out. And I can't begin to tell you how big these. You'd have to see the picture to go. Oh, okay. All right. The announcer for Alabama State University, I'm sorry, the announcer for Florida A&M University, refers to the Alabama State University's dance team as the, quote, new face of Ozimpic. And now the media, oh, we're all so upset. They're body shaming. The Alabama state president, oh, both of the presidents of the universities, oh, they're so sorry. This is horrible. We can't have this. They're big girls. They're big girls. Here's what he said. Congratulations them. They're now the new face of Ozzy.

Oh, no, he didn't. Yes, he did. I mean, in fairness, it probably wouldn't hurt somebody to take a shot or two of the Big O in this case. There's some big girls. Some very, very big girls. I don't know if you're getting the point. He's some big girls. There's some big girls. You would not want. Don Imus to describe these girls or the Rutgers University women's basketball team. A story about the guy whose girlfriend's dog died, so he got her another one. And they asked him why, and he said, well, what's she going to? Never, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I'll come back. I'll have to come back on that one, Ramon. All the while, Pete Hegseth has brought the generals from around the world, back to home base, back to headquarters. And the media was writing about it. Oh, my goodness. This is Hitler. This is Hitler. If he's bringing all the generals in, this is definitely Hitler. Remember Hitler did this? Oh, he's drinking water. Remember Hitler drank water? Oh, he's got a dog. Hitler drank water. Hitler had a dog. So he brings the generals and top officers in, and he says, look, we're not going to play those games anymore. We're not doing woke. We're not going to have big old fat, pot-bellied Florida state dancers in our military. We're cleaning it all up, and I'm here for it. The 4-hour system from the Michael Bari Weiss Show and other leading companies. On this day of 1962, the Beach Boys released their first album, Surfing Safari, which includes their debut single, Surfing. The album would climb to number 32 in the United States, and they would never be heard from again. I think that's their only song about surfing, isn't it?

Oh, here we go. It's the maiden boy. Here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's see what I can do. Okay, y'all. Don't try this at home for me. Don't try this at home. Russell, you're on a Michael Bari Weiss show. Good morning, Michael. I was just wondering, the story seems to have disappeared. I haven't heard anything about it lately about Sean Duffy. Didler-Cones, or is he still in jail or what? I presume so. I don't know. Nobody talks about that story anymore. For whatever reason, myself included, people just kind of lost interest in that case. Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with him rotting away, but I just, I wondered why it just seems to have fallen off the radar. So I don't know. All right. That's all I got. Yeah, I actually honestly think it fell off the radar because people stopped caring. I don't know. You know, we've had this conversation internally. I just, at some point, just completely turned that whole case off while in the middle of the trial. I just lost interest. It's rather telling, though. It is rather telling. It is bigger than Sean Combs. It speaks a lot to that industry of celebrity. And it's not limited to music. I think it was probably more out in the open and perhaps more pervasive in the black entertainment circle. If you look at who was showing up at his parties, and this does not necessarily mean that they participated, but if you look at people who were confirmed to be showing up at his self-described freakoff parties, the white party, they called it, everybody wore white, which would be inconvenient because I'm guessing there were a lot of things sloshing around that would show up more on... against a white background. You wonder why they didn't wear all black, but we'll leave that aside. Maybe this was to represent the purity of the matter. But it was clear there were a number of people who felt that they had to be butt raped by Sean Combs. P. Diddy, Puffy, whatever name you want to use for him, in order to advance in their careers. I don't think this is the first time that's ever happened in any industry. What's amazing is how widely known and seemingly accepted this whole practice was, and how many people were involved in this bacchanalian debauchery. These parties... were attended by people with very, very public prominent reputations and images. And it would appear to be the case that it was, for all intents and purposes, one big orgy, much of it, if not non-consensual, then certainly disturbing.

involving underage individuals and involving a number of people who later would claim that they did not willingly participate, at least not to the extent that it occurred. And the central theme was a lot of butt rape. We can talk about who was there. and how often the parties were being held and how many people and how much sex. But the thing that keeps coming out a lot, Ramon, is a lot of butt rape. A lot. A lot of dudes being butt raped by Sean Combs. That is apparently a big, big deal for him. There's also battery of women, a number of assaults. There are a lot of allegations. And I think a lot of money change stands. I think some lawyers got rich off of this case alone. He was, after all, a billionaire. There was a lot of legitimate money that was in his possessions. It's interesting how little bitty tidbits are what we latch on to. You remember the woman who drove to Florida to kill her arrival? The thing I and everybody else remember from that case is the diapers. Remember? I mean, that's some diabolical stuff there. So if I told you, you know, she's going to load up a car, drive to Florida to kill her rival, this astronaut. Yeah, that's pretty crazy, but what are we having for lunch? Right. But in order to avoid stopping on the way, she went to CVS and got A box of diapers maybe depends or whatever it is. And she put those on so that she could just keep driving because she didn't want to have to pull over and pee. I mean, she needed to kill that person so bad she didn't want to have to pull over and pee. Wow. That, that, okay, that, the diapers is what got you. But yeah, they didn't have buckys back then. You're right. That's a good point. They didn't have bunkies. She could have got beaver nuggets. Of course, beaver nuggets. My little tummy does not do well with beaver nuggets. Because if I eat beaver nuggets and didn't pull, I'd be blowing dirt halfway, you know, just past New Orleans. I'd be over near Santa Ma. And it would not be pretty. Yeah. So, I mean, you got to be careful, you know, how your tummy tolerates all those things. But be that as it may. It was the diapers. Well, I think the baby oil was the deal that really got people in the Puffy Combs story because I think it's hard for us to hold on to the details. We got so much noise out there. So many stories. Look over here. Every day I get hundreds of emails to go, how come nobody's talking about? And then you fill in the blank. Well, hell, when would they?

We've only got so much time. When are people going to have all these conversations you want them to have? It's hard to get people's attention. It's just hard. There's just no way around that. Buddy's girlfriend's dog died, so he got her another one. She's going to do it with two dead dogs. The Michael Bari Weiss Show. Now only 599 plus many more fantastic values. The million dollar record sale at Hulco now. Well, in 2023 and into 2024, John Cornyn was on record. Donald Trump should not run for president, which would mean he shouldn't be our president now. Look it up. Multiple articles, multiple times John Cornyn said Donald Trump should not run present. He should not be our nominee. He's too divisive. He can't win. I don't think Texans are going to forget that. But of course, Trump did run, and he did win. And he despises John Cornyn. And not that it matters. John Cornyn also hates him. So what's John Cornyn doing now that it's time to come back to you and seek six more years to cut deals with the Democrats? Why, he's telling you how much he and Trump are best friends. They love each other. I mean, he's with Trump 99% of the time. Well, 99% of the votes are what to name the post office in Waco. And it's the guy who was really popular there in town, and you can agree on that all the time, every time. It's not until something really matters. The president needs your vote. That you breaking with him makes the base so angry. John Cornyn might could win a general because the Democrats would vote for him and be dade failing all over again. But this time we're not going to do that. We're going to be in the Republican primary. So what are Carl Rove and the boys in D.C. doing to make sure that their swamp creature stays in office? Well, as you might imagine, they're running ads. And they're telling you, Ken Paxton's not a good guy. I don't need a good guy. Ken Paxton got a divorce. Okay. So did a lot of people. Ken Paxton, he gets into arguments for people. Yeah. Okay. I need him to be a senator. I really don't need him to lead to local Boy Scouts. What are you saying? Ken Paxton, he makes waves with everything he does and makes people angry. Yeah, that's what I want him to do. That's what Trump does, too. Okay. Ken Paxton, he's not like John Cornyn. Yeah, I know. Exactly. That's the point we're making here. Well, John Cornyn. Okay. I cue the music, soaring eagles. John Cornyn! John Wayne McCornan, now, he's a good man. He gets his shoes polished properly.

Then 2010 runs and then they spend all this money. He's talking to ranchers down South Texas. He says, and I'll be there with you. And yes. That damn border wall. Oh, John's on our side now. No. He just needs your vote. He'll say whatever he needs to. So John Cornyn is strapping on his boots and he's getting ready. He's coming to Texas. And he's going to lasso your vote. He's going to get after it. It's going to. He's done with his anti-Trump stuff. Oh, yes. No, no, no, no. Not this. This one's going to be real. I mean, he's on your side now. He'd like you to believe he's right here with you. John Wayne McCornan is ready to trump the competition. Ye'all, giddy up, and let's go, Texas. It's your boy, John Wayne McCornan. Together with my right-hand man, Mr. Donald J. Trump, we'll take on those lackadaisical loony lifts together. That's right. I just got off the phone with Mr. Trump's assistant to his second assistant at Mar-a-Lago, and I may or may not be playing golf with the president this weekend, weather, his schedule, family allegations, and mood pending. Now, after this possible golf outing, I could possibly maybe, but not likely be joining him for dinner to destroy the evil of our country in our great state of Texas. That's right, my fellow, Texas. As I've been told him that he...

Forgive me if you heard me tell the story before, but John Matthews, that was his theme song. And I loved that. He'd let it play for three minutes. And he'd come on as it gets increasingly gritty, he'd go, ha, ha, ha. And I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Oh, yes, that was fantastic. Well. John Matthews had been at KPRC. Dan Patrick, the now lieutenant governor, had owned KPRC and sold that to IHeart's predecessor, which was Clear Channel, and did pretty darn well out of the deal. And when he did, Clear Channel ended up firing a lot of his talent, and which worked out great for Dan Patrick. He just went and bought a smaller signal. I think he leased a small signal to start with and moved everybody over there. Didn't miss a beat. And now he had a truly independent radio station. He could run it, launched his state senate, and then, of course, now Lieutenant Governor, career out of the deal. But I'll never forget, we had a guy named Gabe Hobbs, who was nothing but good to me, loved our show. He was national director. of country music for Clear Channel, which was a lot of stations across the country. When you're the national director of any genre format for the biggest radio company, you've got everybody on speed dial. I mean, depending on what your musical style is, you've got whoever the biggest is, you've got that person in any given time. But... He had taken on the additional role of kind of content management for the talk format. And I remember reading an article that was written in the Houston Press at the time. And it was about what Clear Channel was doing with the radio stations. And the example that was used by Gabe in the article was, look, and mind you, this was 20 years ago. So that song would be even older now. I still think that'd be a great opening song. I think it's, I love it. I think it's timeless. But the line that was, it said a senior vice president for Clear Channel Radio Gabe Hobbs said that you have to be in touch and in tune with the listeners and their musical choices and their lifestyle and they're this and they're that. If you're playing Dwayne Eddy's Rebel Rouser as your intro music, you're out of touch. That song is, whatever was, 50 years old at the time. I remember the way's there. That's a shot at John Matthews. That's a good song. I've always thought about that song with that in mind. Yesterday or today's Camp Hope Heroes are the Lakeview Quilters Guild, who stopped by Camp Hope with a very special delivery, beautiful handmade quilts for our veterans, Ramon. I love a quilt.

I love a good quilt. And I say that. I'm going to get a lot of sweet ladies who are going to email and offer a quilt. I don't need another quilt. We inherited from my Aunt Ruby and my Aunt Jewel a number of quilts because my wife, being a good wife, ingratiated herself with my Deep East Texas, the Tyler area, great aunts to whom I was very close, with whom I was very close. and showed an interest in the thing that they loved more than anything else, which was quilts. And so lo and behold, within a couple of years, we start receiving quilts, each one of them making special quilts for us. And I love, love, love quilts. But my wife has, there is, quilts are forbidden, new quilts are forbidden to enter our home because we are a bit overwhelmed with quilts. And my brother, a couple years before he passed, he told my mom, he said, you know, we called my grandmother, my mother's mother, called her nanny. He said, you know, it's not right. Michael got nanny's quilts. My mom was like, Chris, he loves quilts. He used to talk to Nanny about her quilts. His wife really loves quilts, and you never demonstrated any interest in those quilts at all. Well, I'm just saying, it's not right. So I had to pick up the phone. What are you doing behind my back? Running me down for the quilts? Well, I mean, it's just not right. We still laughed about that until the day he died. Well, uh... Secretariat defense, Pete Hegseth, talking to the generals and officers, hey, we're going to have standards around here. We're going to be a real country around here. We're not going to play those stupid games anymore. Listen to this. I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape. Or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men. Or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons platform or task. Or under a leader who was... The first, but not the best. Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high. If not, they're not standards. They're just suggestions. Suggestions that get our sons and daughters killed. When it comes to combat arms units, and there are many different stripes across our joint force, the era of... Politically correct, overly sensitive, don't hurt anyone's feelings. Leadership ends right now. At every level, either you can meet the standard, either you can do the job, either you are disciplined, fit, and trained, or you are out. And that's why today at my direction, and this is the first of 10 Department of War directives that are arriving at your commands as we speak and in your inbox. Today, at my direction, each service will ensure that every requirement for every combat MOS, for every designated combat arms position, returns to the highest male standard only. Because this job is life or death. Standards must be met. And not just met, at every level we should seek to exceed the standard, to push the envelope, to compete. It's common sense.

And core to who we are and what we do, it should be in our DNA. Today at my direction, we are also adding a combat field test for combat arms units that must be executable in any environment at any time and with combat equipment. These tests that look familiar, they'll resemble the Army expert physical fitness assessment. Yeah, the Ford's A&M drill team would not be able to serve their military. I need to do a row. So I drop. Then I found... The Michael Bari Weiss Show. I recommend it. And you... I hope you enjoy our podcast as much as we enjoy making it. You can always email me through the website, Michaelberryshow.com. I do love to hear from you, and I do respond to you. Tell me where you're emailing from. It's fun. Our podcast listeners are from all over. And wherever you are all over, there's a decent chance that you have or know someone who has a steel pipe that can be sold to my friend Ray Breyer's. at the pipeyard inc.com. They dispatched trucks across the country to haul one load or 300 loads of pipe. I had one listener in Georgia. His company had an abandoned pipe, an abandoned line running all the way from Louisiana. through the Southeast Conference of Football, Basketball, and Ray Breyer's, the Pipyard Inc. was able to pull all that pipe out, pay them for that pipe, and then sell it to another user. Thepipyard Inc.com. 409788 pipe. Did you know that most insurance companies will pay for a man to have testosterone replacement if he's below 350? Isn't that interesting?
