AM Show Hr 3 | Is Milk Racist Now?

The Michael Berry Show opens with a heartfelt call-in from Jim, a longtime oil field worker from Bakersfield, California, who shares his journey from working after school in the 1980s to thriving in Houston with a high-paying, no-college-debt career. His story underscores the value of hard work, frugality, and self-reliance. The host uses this narrative to contrast with what he sees as the decline of traditional values and the rise of what he calls 'leftist dog whistling'—particularly around health and identity politics. A central theme emerges when Berry critiques a recent claim by Oregon Congressman Maxine Dexter that white milk is akin to white supremacy, calling it absurd and politically motivated. He argues that mainstream health advice has repeatedly demonized nutritious foods like whole milk, red meat, and coffee—only for science to later vindicate them. The segment culminates in a satirical monologue from 'Wesley Cardigan' on Soft Voices Hard Truths, parodying the idea that milk is racially charged, with fictional claims about cows producing chocolate or pink milk based on the farmer’s identity. The episode closes with reflections on personal pride, male provider roles, and the cultural war over simple truths, all wrapped in humor and sharp commentary.
