1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: Michael Verry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoking. I can feel a good 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: one coming on. It's the Michael Berry Show. Was talking 5 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: about strategies viving and thriving in this The first one 6 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: is the serenity prayer. Understand that you cannot change broken people. 7 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: This was a lesson that took me a good part 8 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: of my life to accept. Because I think I'm superman. 9 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: I can fix any problem. I can solve anything. People 10 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: come to me with all sorts of problems and I 11 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: solve them all day. It's very rewarding. You get a 12 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: god complex. Look at me. I can do this, And 13 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: I realized that's a drug I feed off of and 14 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: I've had to learn it'll also take you down. But 15 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: I also realized over a period of time that you 16 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: cannot change people from their core. It's a fool's errand 17 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: but more than that, it's diving into the water to 18 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: save someone that's going to drown you too. You can 19 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: throw them a lifeline and if they kick it back, 20 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: you can recognize that's a decision they made. They have 21 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: agency of authority over their decision. Making whatever that may be, 22 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: and at some point you have to live with that. 23 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: It's hard because we want to fix people, we want 24 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: to change people, and that is one of the core 25 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: problems with human relations, desire to change other people. And 26 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: in many cases, the desire to change other people is 27 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: really the desire to control other people. And that gets 28 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: to our basic animal instinct of control and dominance. It's 29 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: natural throughout the animal kingdom. That's what the hierarchy of 30 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: species is all about, the predator prey. The desire to 31 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: change someone is the desire to control someone. But here's 32 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: the part that's important. You got to figure out which 33 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: fights are worth fighting. You got to figure out which 34 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: behaviors are worth defending. Is it worth it if you 35 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: think that people ought to be allowed to cut Is 36 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: it worth it to go into a children's school dropping 37 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: f bombs? I hope you wouldn't do that, even if 38 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: you don't think there's anything wrong with It's just another word. 39 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: You're picking a fight. It really has no benefit to 40 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: you to win. And I see this all the time. 41 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 2: You're picking a fight over a principle. It's not even 42 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: really a deep principle. You didn't change anybody's mind, you 43 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: just showed that you were willing to thwart the rule. 44 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: What did you gain? No one was inspired by you. 45 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: Whatever their level of respect for you was, they have 46 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: less of it now than they did before. So you 47 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: have to decide what do I want to offer my opinion? 48 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: And you know, what do I want to say publicly? 49 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: Who do I want to be that I think it's 50 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: very important people understand that. That me showing that, expressing that. 51 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people get themselves in trouble 52 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: on social media by saying things for shock value, because 53 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: they're kind of curious if it will cause them a problem, 54 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: and by the time it does cause them a problem, 55 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: it's too late. Well that was dumb. How many times 56 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: do we do that, We provoke something just to see 57 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: what will happen? First time Mom told you don't touch 58 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: the flame. Oh I got to touch slave now? Oh damn? 59 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: And then what do they say, idiot? We told you, 60 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: I know. But this will be Mom, this will be 61 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: a lifelong problem for me. I will be warned to 62 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 2: touch the flame, and I will touch the flame. But 63 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: here's the part that's very important, and that is understanding 64 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: that we are complicit, which means involved. In allowing this 65 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: to happen. And the reason is for all our tough 66 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: talk about how we won't bend the knee, we also 67 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: won't lift a finger to help another person. I watched 68 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: this all the time. Let me tell you how this 69 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: plays out. There's a group of guys got their lunchbox. 70 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: Their wives made them send them to work. They work 71 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: for a big company, but they're out at the job site. 72 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 2: Somebody makes a comment, somebody adds to the comment. It's 73 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: like telephone game. It sort of starts going as all 74 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 2: guys and they're going around, and then finally somebody says 75 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: something that someone else views as offensive and they run tell, 76 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: because that's what people do. They run tell. And then 77 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: the question becomes what do you do about it? The 78 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: question becomes do you say that man is not at 79 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: fault unless everyone is fired, he shouldn't be fired. Most 80 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: people don't do that. Most people hide, And here's how 81 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: they justify it. I mean, I'm all for telling Joe's 82 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: but man, he went too far. Did he? Have you 83 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: never told that same joke? Well, yeah, I mean yeah, 84 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: I guess I have. So why didn't you say that 85 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: that's a joke? Everybody in the group is told, well, 86 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: he was an idiot for telling it at the time. 87 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: You could have told him at the time, but you didn't. 88 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: That's the real that's the real interesting study of how 89 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: many people will judge another person for getting a DWI when, 90 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: but for pure luck, they don't have one, they could 91 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: have had twenty five most people, I'll bet you ninety 92 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: percent of people who drink at all. If you don't drink, 93 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: you're probably not going to run the riskiness. But for 94 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: people who drink at all, I think over ninety percent 95 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: of people if they're honest, especially as low as the 96 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: number has come now, I think it's point oh eight. 97 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: Over ninety percent of people would have blown hot. And 98 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: now you have no idea, get yourself a breathalyser. You'll 99 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: be shocked at this, but you don't feel any compassion 100 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 2: for that person at that moment. The media bubble is real. 101 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: A news study shows a massive disconnect between journalists and 102 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: the public. Now, I know that's nothing new to you, 103 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: but it is worth noting because I was at a 104 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: dinner party last night and the starting point for every 105 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: conversation is stories that are in the news. Now, the 106 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: good thing is there's more competition to provide news than 107 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: there ever was, and that means a couple of different things. 108 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: It means you can choose your news. You want liberal news, 109 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: you want conservative news. It's hard to get down the road, 110 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: down the middle of the road, you know, objective news 111 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: any longer that doesn't have any spend because what used 112 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: to be considered that is all left wing now, so 113 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 2: now everything that is not left wing is a reaction 114 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: to that. But it means that at least you can 115 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: flip channels and see how a story's being portrayed by 116 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: various networks and maybe from that come to your conclusion. 117 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: What I find interesting, however, is that as the news 118 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: business is dying, and they are dying, especially particularly on 119 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: the left, as that is happening, they don't seem willing 120 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: or able to self correct because they have no sense 121 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: of self awareness. They don't realize they're the problem. They 122 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: hate you, and they just keep getting madder at you. 123 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: But there's not enough of them to support them. They've 124 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: tried liberal talk radio again and again and again, and 125 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: they just can't get it. They cannot get it. There 126 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: are so many conservative talkers in this country. There are 127 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: people that are lifelong liberals who wanted to be talkers 128 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: and switched over to being a conservative. Some of them 129 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: are national now some of them, and I'm not faulting them. 130 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: Look as long as they're saying what I think is 131 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: the right thing, I really don't care where they came from. 132 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: But there are people. There is so much conservative content 133 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: out there. There's kind of right wing, neo con conservative, 134 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: a lot of that. There's conservatorian. There's more libertarian than conservatorian. 135 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: But that's where the American public is now. So a 136 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: new in depth study by the supposedly nonpartisan but very 137 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: left leaning Pew Research Center found that sixty five percent 138 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: of the nearly twelve thousand journalists surveyed say the media 139 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: do a solid job of quote covering the most important 140 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: stories of the day and reporting news accurately. Sixty five 141 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: percent of the twelve thousand journalists, yeah, they're doing a 142 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: great job, but a solid majority of the American public 143 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: at large has the opposite view. Only thirty five percent 144 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: of them feel that way. That's a thirty thirty point 145 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 2: perception gap. That means these people have no clue how 146 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 2: they are perceived. When asked if journalists perform well when 147 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: quote serving as a watchdog over elected leaders. Fifty two 148 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: percent of journalists agreed, but the number dropped precipitously when 149 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: the general public was asked, with fewer than thirty percent 150 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: agreeing with the assessment. When asked if journalists manage and 151 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: correct misinformation consistently, forty three percent of those in the 152 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 2: industry said yes. So look, more than half of them agree, 153 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 2: we don't do that very well, while twenty five percent 154 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: of the general public agreeed almost half. Forty six percent 155 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: of journalists said they felt connected to their readers and viewers, 156 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: while just one quarter of the public says they feel 157 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 2: connected to the media outlets from which they get their news. 158 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: And imagine that. Imagine that there was once a day 159 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: of Walter Cronkaink, Edward R. Murrow. We respected and admired 160 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: these people. Bob Schiffer, longtime journalist, did a piece several 161 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: years ago on how insulated journalists have become. Here's an example. 162 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: In the twenty twenty election, just nine percent of Manhattan 163 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: voters voted for Donald Trump. In DC he got just 164 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: five point four percent. Think about that. So these people, 165 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: that's where they live. They live in New York and 166 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: DC they're surrounded by other people who view the world 167 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: exactly and so you get a confirmation bias. You know, 168 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: how do the people in Charlie Manson's cult think what 169 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: they're doing is okay? Because everybody around them says it is. 170 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 2: If everybody around you lives in a polygamous cult, you 171 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: think that's normal. That's why they don't let you see 172 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: the outside world. That's why in Iran and China they 173 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: shut off the outside world the Internet and television. And 174 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: because as long as you don't know what else is 175 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: going on out there, you think the whole world is 176 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: living the way you are. Let me just give you 177 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: a couple of examples of how out of touch the 178 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: media is. And look, we could play this game all day, 179 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: I get it. Let's start with Don Lemon. 180 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 3: I don't do opinion, and I know the difference for 181 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: me is I do point of view. So I'm giving 182 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: my point of view as an American, as a black 183 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: man who happens to be gay. 184 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: But I'm through that lens. 185 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: But I'm also I'm also I also represent CNN, and 186 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 3: so I must tell the truth. And if I don't, 187 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: if my facts are wrong, then I had to clarify it, 188 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: and I had to come on television and I have 189 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: to apologize, and I say, I got that wrong. 190 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 2: How about we do a little montage of this unbiased 191 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: because they think they are this unbiased news. This is 192 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: a montage of CNN and MSNBC. 193 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: You're hitting a lot of Republicans who are outrage over 194 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: President Biden's handling of the exit, especially in the so 195 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: called Freedom Caucus. If they support the former guy, the 196 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: one who set all of this in motion in the 197 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: first place, the hypocrisy is off the charts and it 198 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 3: is sickening. 199 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 4: All Right, everybody, Good evening. We begin to read out 200 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 4: tonight with two cases which will once again tell us 201 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: where we are as a country, whether armed primarily white 202 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 4: men can continue to take matters into their own hands 203 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 4: and serve as judge, jury, and executioner. 204 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: So I had this segment laid out where I was 205 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 5: going to call out all of the people who are 206 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 5: prolonging this pandemic with phony COVID cures and anti vaccine garbage. 207 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 6: Now in a moment, you're going to see the sheer 208 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 6: spectacle of a sitting Republican US senator, one of the 209 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 6: most powerful individuals in the country, representing one of the 210 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 6: biggest states in the nation, pretty much groveling at the 211 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 6: feet of a right wing cable TV entertainer, which certainly 212 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 6: reflects the state of the Union. 213 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: Was the peaceful transfer of power in January something of 214 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: a miracle. 215 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: We're moving toward a kind of politics. We'll remember the 216 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: new Republican strategies to follow voters to their cars. They 217 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 4: now have normalized the idea of using political violence to 218 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 4: get the ends they want. 219 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 5: Then, about twenty million people across America watched Thursday's plan 220 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 5: found hearing twenty million viewers is in the ballpark with 221 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 5: big television events like Sunday Night football. 222 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: Oh my god, But I want you. 223 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 5: To compare those twenty million viewers with the biggest ratings 224 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: Donald Trump garnered for his reality show. 225 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Right I was fourteen Show of Celebrity. FA know, this 226 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: was the build up this They had seven point six 227 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: million viewers. That's what's become of independent, impartial, non biased, 228 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: unbiased objective journalism. The Michael Berry Show of job creation 229 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: in the United States since February of nineteen twenty, over 230 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: fifty percent of the three million net jobs added in 231 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: the last three years. We're created in only two states. 232 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: Can you guess Texas and Florida. In other words, take 233 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: those two states out and you reduce to only half 234 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: the job description out of the other forty eight states. 235 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: The proof is in the pudding. It's why federalism works 236 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: on many levels when you have fifty different states with 237 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: fifty different sets of rules, regulations, courts, laws, cultures. This 238 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: is why Democrats don't want states to be able to 239 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: do anything other than what the federal government tells them 240 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: to do, because they want cramm down policies at the 241 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: national level. That way, Texas or Florida won't be able 242 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: to reduce their tax rate and see how that works. 243 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: They won't be able to reduce the choke hold regulation 244 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 2: on businesses. They won't be able to allow the individual 245 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: to own a gun. After basic safeguards are put in place, 246 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: they'll be able to take away the guns from everybody 247 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: but the cops and the criminals. Good luck waiting on 248 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 2: the cops to get there, because if it's three minutes, 249 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: that's two minutes fifty seconds, two long. Not their fault, 250 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 2: but fifty laboratories to experiment, and the beauty of those 251 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: laboratories are then you really get to see how California's 252 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: leftist policies are hurting them. California has the prettiest weather 253 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: and topography in the country. Is there any doubt Is 254 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: there any doubt of that? No, It's why so many 255 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: people moved out there once the industries began to develop, 256 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: particularly for creative people, the movies and music and those 257 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 2: sorts of things. It's why people moved from New York 258 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 2: out there to enjoy the wonderful weather, followed by Florida. 259 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: That's no secret. But look at how many people have 260 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: moved from California to Florida because you've got similar weather 261 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: and much better regulatory environment, much better culture. When every 262 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 2: state can create their own framework for how you live 263 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: that the people of that state embrace and embody, then 264 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: the rest of us can say, I might like to 265 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: move to Florida or Texas or Tennessee or Louisiana or 266 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: Mississippi or Georgia. And that's what people are doing. And 267 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: how many people are now moving to California or New 268 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 2: York or Illinois. The Blue states are watching jobs disappear, 269 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: and those jobs are not just going away, they're relocating 270 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: to the Red states. They're relocating to better, more business 271 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: friendly environments, more freedom friendly environments. My wife was Secretary 272 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: of State of Texas almost ten years or nine years ago, 273 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: and one of her responsibilities was economic development, So she 274 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: spent a lot of time talking to companies looking to 275 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: move to Texas. And those companies were primarily from California, 276 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 2: New York, and Illinois. And they were blown away. You 277 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: mean you have no income tax. No, we have a 278 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: franchise tax, but no income tax. But it's a lower 279 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: tax burden. To be clear. Now you are going to 280 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: take pay property taxes, you are going to have a 281 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: franchise tax on your business, but you're not going to 282 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 2: have that income tax. It's going to make a huge difference. Wow. Yeah, 283 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: And we don't allow it. We have tort reform here. 284 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: We don't allow you to get sued just because you're 285 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: a business and somebody wants to make you know, wants 286 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: a lottery ticket of what can they get out of you? 287 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: And and and and fill in the blank. All the 288 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: different reasons people wanted to come to this state, dramatic 289 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: reasons to come to this state. Those reasons matter, and 290 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: it makes a big difference for how businesses operate. The 291 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: problem is the mentality in Washington, d C. Is the 292 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: same mentality of the Blue States, and the same mentality 293 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 2: that is lost that has resulted in job losses and 294 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: wealth loss in the Blue States has been brought to 295 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: the federal government, and that is bringing our country down. 296 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: We are not improving our ability to manufacture. We're not 297 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: improving our ability to find and improve upon energy sources. 298 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 2: We are not improving on our ability to do business. 299 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: Whatever reason you may think for the United States to 300 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: be the world's superpower, it is not primarily our military. 301 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: It is primarily our economy. The fact that we could 302 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: create so much wealth meant we could build a great military. 303 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 2: The fact that we had stability in our court system, 304 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: the fact that we had a sense of fairness and opportunity, 305 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: meant that we became the dream team, the all star 306 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: team for the world. We didn't build this great country 307 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: on illegal aliens fleeing the court systems and the prison systems, 308 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 2: and as cartel operatives coming through our southern border. We 309 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: got the best and brightest Jews fleeing Nazi Germany that 310 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: would go on to make great developments and discoveries and 311 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: inventions came to this country. Irani's fleeing the Homiani cartel. 312 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 2: The Muslim theocracy came to this country. Indians who wanted 313 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: to learn engineering, in physics and mathematics came to this country. 314 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: The world came to this country. Money flowed to this country. 315 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: That's changing now. That is changing, and it's not accidental, 316 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: and it's not fatalistic, and it's not a destiny. It's 317 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: bad decisions. Our bad decision in Ukraine pushed Russia in 318 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 2: a corner, and Russian Russia turned out to be a 319 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 2: very very powerful foe in convincing the Chinese how they 320 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 2: could bring us harm that and the Chinese owned Joe Biden, 321 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 2: who's collapsing our government in front of us. And we 322 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 2: are watching a reordering on the world stage that is 323 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: going to be a generational setback. It's coming. Inflation in 324 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: levels you've not seen in your lifetime, a reduction in 325 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: the quality the standard of living in this country that 326 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: you've not seen in your lifetime, a setback of all 327 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: the great gains. It is coming. I don't wish it 328 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 2: to come, I don't revel in it. I see it, 329 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: and I'm preparing for it very frigame. 330 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: Activate the Michael Barry Show. 331 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: So a guy who's been working in a job every year. 332 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: And granted he's not an inside the air working kind 333 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: of guy. He wears boots, jeans, he's from a small town. 334 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: He might smoke, Oh wow, but I guess we have 335 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: to have a few of those around here. He wears 336 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: out in the heat all day. He doesn't complain. Truck 337 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: may not have air conditioning. He might have had a divorce. 338 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: He might have a DWI. He might have more than 339 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: one of each. He might have a mustache. He might 340 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: look older than his age. He might speak in a 341 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 2: manner unbecoming of the corporate boardroom. But he's the front 342 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: line of the company. You've got to have him, and 343 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: that's the only reason they keep him. And the people 344 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: like him, but they cringe. His very existence makes them cringe. 345 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: You couldn't have him come to the offices, to the 346 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 2: corporate headquarters. We make movies about things like this. You know, 347 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: the guy that comes in from the wild. He doesn't 348 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: know which button to mash, where to get off, and 349 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: everybody giggles at him. We know that I in his 350 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 2: big old truck with his bumper stickers on it about 351 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: guns and God knows what else. And he doesn't have 352 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: the right views. He doesn't tell the right jokes, he 353 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: doesn't use the right fork, he doesn't live the way 354 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: you're supposed to live. There's a lot of him. And 355 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: by the way, it wasn't the guys on the eighteenth 356 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 2: floor of the corporate headquarters that went and fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam. 357 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: You didn't mind him then, but as he's gotten older 358 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: since he came back, you don't want him around. But 359 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: it's not just that you don't want him around mister 360 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: Hr or missus HR or missus that used to be 361 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 2: mister Hr. It's that he represents the north Star and 362 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: you hate that because he never pretends to be anything 363 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: he's not. He's not an evolutionary character. He's not desperately 364 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: trying to keep up with the trends of the fads. 365 00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: Right the opposite. He doesn't seek your approval. He kind 366 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: of disdains you because he has a clarity of purpose 367 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 2: to his life and conscience and he doesn't do things 368 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: he doesn't want to do. He is the savage. He 369 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: is what the Christians saw in the savages that they 370 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: went to evangelize to. He has to be changed. He 371 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: has to be molded into what must he be molded 372 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: why missus HR director says, he must be molded into 373 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: the image I have crafted. He must be learned. He 374 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: must learn to use the language I use. He must 375 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: learn to behave in the manner that I do. He 376 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: must learn that everything about his very existence is wrong 377 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: and always has been. He was raised wrong. The cowboys 378 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: and Indians, the shooting the bb gun, to killing the deer, 379 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: to go and fishing, all of those things, those must 380 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: be destroyed. Every part of him. She resents every part 381 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: of it, and that's okay until it comes time that 382 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and occasionally he does do some things wrong. 383 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: He's dragged down to HR thinks she's going to give 384 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 2: him a fair hearing her lesbian buddy three doors over 385 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: that's been harassing the secretary. She didn't get her fired. 386 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: She didn't require her to go to sensitivity training. I've 387 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: seen some lesbians, homos, blacks, Arabs, you name it that 388 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: are the the meanest, nastiest, vicious people that they don't 389 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: get sensitivity training. Why would they? They are culture? You're 390 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: not so after a period of time, the guys like 391 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: him individually, they never gather individually, they start deciding they're angry. 392 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 2: Now many of them turn inward. The bottle helps. If 393 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: you can get drunk enough, fast enough of the minute 394 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: you get off of work, it makes life bearable. Of course, 395 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: that also makes personal relationships difficult, and then that can 396 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: complicate your whole life. So what are we doing to 397 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: these people? What are they doing to you? You can 398 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: turn that to the women. What about a woman who 399 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: decides that, like her mother or mine, they want to 400 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 2: stay home and raise the kids. They don't want to 401 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: go to a workplace. They want to stay home and 402 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 2: keep a clean house where the family's well fed. The 403 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: bills are paid, the plumbing and electrical works, They meet 404 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: the people there. Things are done. There's a lot of 405 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: tasks in the house. They're not left undone. The beds 406 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: are made, breakfast is made, bedtimes are met, homework is done. 407 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: That's what they want to do. That's what makes them 408 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: feel whole and wholesome and fulfilled. Is that honored? No, No, 409 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: their marginalized. They're lesser people. You remember Hillary Clinton when 410 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: she lost in twenty sixteen. You remember the nasty speech 411 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 2: she gave in Chicago about these stupid women who just 412 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: voted the way their husband did. She's always had a 413 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: disdain for these women, but those women, for many of you, 414 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: are you. 415 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: So you just. 416 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: Keep you just keep saying these things, and you just 417 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: keep doing these things, and you're noticeing the world is 418 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: changing around you and they're constantly and your opinion doesn't matter. 419 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: And how dare a black person a transgender if they say, hey, 420 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 2: this is screwed up. If you do it, you're somehow 421 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: a threat. You're treated everyone's against you. And the minute 422 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 2: you start pointing out what is actually true, now now 423 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: it's laughable that you're crazy and you think all these things. 424 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: But you know what you see, you know what you feel, 425 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: you know what you're going through. I have black listeners 426 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: who will email and say, I'm surprised, I'm surprised more 427 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 2: white people aren't pissed off watching what people say about it. 428 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: We're kind of like the white Avengers them. We might 429 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: need you to be Mexican next week, just for diversity
