1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: You.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 3: Michael Varry Show is on the air.

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 4: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: I can feel a good one coming on. It's the

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: Michael Berry Show.

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 5: Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 5: by some as downright undemocratic.

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: Two six packs shit or this is gonna be clipped

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 3: six on one moan. It's an MSNBC report. This is

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: two disparate pieces of audio I'm going to share with

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: you this segment, but they're part of the same theme.

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: They work thematically perfectly, and that is the idea of

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: the government taking your money and using it toward evil ends,

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: sometimes just putting in their pocket, sometimes funding things that

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: cause you harm, that silence you, that sicken you. Sometimes

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: funding things that harm their political enemies and aid their

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: campaigns and their causes. Sometimes just buying bigger houses and planes.

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: So this MSNB receive report is that the USAID staff

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: were told to shred and burn documents so that Elon

21
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: and his doge team couldn't get to them. This is

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: what the Chinese embassy did in the Chinese consul did

23
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: in Houston when it was learned that they were spying

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: on the Texas Medical Center during the COVID situation. They

25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: literally shut all the doors and started burning documents. It

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: was smoke billowing out of the console.

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 6: NBC News is reporting this USAID staff is being told

28
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 6: to shred and burn all they're classified documents.

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: Quote.

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 6: The US Agency for International Development is instructing its staff

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 6: in Washington to shred and burn documents, according to an

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 6: email obtained by NBC News. The document destruction was set

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 6: to take place Tuesday. According to an email from Erica Carr,

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 6: the agency's acting executive secretary, quote, shred as many documents first,

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 6: and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 6: unavailable or needs a break. Car wrote, I worked in

37
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 6: government for most a decade. I've never heard of so

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 6: much shredding being required that you would know ahead of

39
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 6: time that quote the shredder would become unavailable or need

40
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 6: a break.

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: What is that about, right?

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 7: I actually this morning I got a message from somebody

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 7: who left USAID earlier this year and passed along this

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 7: email to me, and my response is naturally as a

45
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 7: standard operating procedure, and this individuals had known that they

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 7: had never heard about burning or shredding of federal records

47
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 7: at USAID. But then again, this individual told me they've

48
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 7: never heard of the entire agency being gutted in their

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 7: headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building being shut down. When

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: are documents burned by.

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: The State Department or USAID.

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 7: Typically at an embassy when it is about to be overtaken.

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 7: Marines have the authorization as a means of ensuring the

54
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 7: classified records and personnel data do not get in the

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 7: hands of individuals of who.

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: Are seen as threats.

57
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: They do go and.

58
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 7: Burn documents, but that's not what this situation is here.

59
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: And next quickly we turn to how the CIA uses

60
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: the quote National Endowment for Democracy. Sounds like such a

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: nice thing, doesn't it. Let's go back to nineteen ninety five.

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: This fella's name is Philip ag He's a former CIA

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: agent turned whistleblower. This was going on a long time ago,

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: and I believe still goes on. Listen carefully. This is

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: very disturbing.

66
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 8: And so nowadays, instead of having just a CIA going

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 8: around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 8: secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth,

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 8: they have now a psychic which is this National Endowment

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 8: for Democracy Needy and UH. This organization dates from nineteen

71
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 8: sixty seven. A lot of people don't realize because it

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 8: was just established in the I think eighty three or so,

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 8: but the idea emerged from a series of scandalous revelations

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty seven, the worst ones to that point

75
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 8: to hit the CIA. And I was in headquarters at

76
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 8: the time that these UH scandals broke, and the gloom

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 8: there was something you could you could touch almost because

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 8: what happened was the long running CIA's control and manipulation

79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 8: of the international program of the National UH Students Association

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 8: in this country, which was the National Organization of University

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 8: Students came out. It was revealed, and that led to

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 8: revelations of a lot of other CIA operations because they

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 8: were using the same bogus and real foundations to channel

84
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 8: money into all these different or all of these organizations.

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 8: And I remember very well that Time magazine at the time,

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 8: or newsleagu it was time they published a wheel with

87
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 8: all these folks going out and the CIA was the center.

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: And then halfway out where.

89
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 8: All these these corporates are, these foundations and American organizations.

90
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 8: And then now at the end were the foreign groups

91
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 8: that got the money and the instructions. Actually, they don't

92
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 8: give away money without being sure if they's spent the

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 8: way they want to spend. And so this was a

94
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 8: catastrophe for the CIA and the next month of the

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 8: month after that, this started in February sixty seven, and

96
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 8: then by April, I think it was Dante Fachelle, the

97
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 8: congressman from Florida, was proposing the establishment of an open

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 8: system to finance these overseas organizations. And we're talking about

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 8: some government organizations abroad, some political parties, some media organizations,

100
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 8: youth organizations and student organizations, all these kinds of so

101
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 8: called pluralist organizations, when in fact they weren't really free

102
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 8: organizations because to the degree that they took money and

103
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 8: instructions from the CIA to that to be enough for

104
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 8: at all. Right, But anyway, fachel came up with this idea,

105
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 8: but nothing, It didn't go anywhere because the so called

106
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 8: consensus between the two parties had broken down over Vietnam,

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 8: and so it wasn't until the early eighties when Reagan

108
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 8: made his speech in the House of Comments about the

109
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 8: Democracy Project worldwide that this began to take on steam again,

110
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 8: and finally they decided to copy the German example.

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: Each of the major.

112
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 8: German political parties has a foundation which is financed by

113
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 8: the German government. Before it was West Germany, now the

114
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 8: whole country, and for example, the Friedrich Ebertstiffton is the

115
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 8: SPD or the Social Democratic Parties foundation, and they financed

116
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 8: projects all over the place and for years in the

117
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 8: fifties and sixties, and I would guess even into the seventies.

118
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 8: In fact, I know into the seventies, even to the

119
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 8: early eighties, the CIA was channeling money through these German foundations.

120
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 8: I bought, for example, some money money. I think it

121
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 8: was a million dollars in more, but I'm a little

122
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 8: hazy on the amount. But anyway, it went through the CIA,

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 8: money which went through the Conrad Adnauerstiftol that's the Christian

124
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 8: Democrat Union. It went from there to Eveppo, which is

125
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 8: a foundation of the Coupe the Christian Democrats in Venezuela,

126
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 8: and from there it went to the Christian Democrats in

127
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 8: Elsalvador to Duarte for use in the elections. I've forgotten

128
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 8: which year, maybe eighty four or something. Like that, and

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 8: it was traced some journalists did this, and so that

130
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 8: is the way they would use these German foundations in

131
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 8: the past. So now we've got our own, we don't

132
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 8: have to use the Germans unless we really want to anymore.

133
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: Because in nineteen eighty.

134
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 8: Four we established this National Endowment for Democracy, which is

135
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 8: nothing but a mega conduit, and the millions or the

136
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 8: tens of millions that are set aside for the meddling

137
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 8: in the internal affairs of other countries goes to this conduit.

138
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 8: It's like a bank account or something, but they have

139
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 8: a board of directors and they do reports and stuff

140
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 8: like that. But then it goes from there to one

141
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 8: of four private foundations, one of the Democratic Party won

142
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 8: the Republican Party or two three the AFLCIO, and four

143
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 8: the US Chamber of Commerce. These groups then pass it

144
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 8: out to recipients in foreign countries. And in the nicer

145
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 8: Argan elections of nineteen ninety I believe the figure was

146
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 8: something like twelve point five million that went from the

147
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 8: National Movement.

148
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Michael Berry Show. This is something

149
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: I've been talking about for a while, and I don't

150
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: know that we actually played it so I'll do it now.

151
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: I call her Gargamel from the Smurf. She's the manly

152
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: looking creature. I don't know what it really is underneath

153
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: all that, and I'm not going to check. But I

154
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: found out her name is Rosa Delaro, not that it matters.

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: She's a Democrat from Connecticut and she's nuts well. She

156
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: was one of the group that made one of these videos.

157
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: Hers is probably the most disturbing, not the pick your

158
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: Fighter Democrat video where they all do they're punching like

159
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: their video game. Hers because she's an old man or woman.

160
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm honestly not sure which trying to sound like a

161
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: gen Zer and which one is gen z. That's how

162
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: it was described to me. I don't actually know what

163
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: gen z or gen X or I know the baby boomers,

164
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: and then I think, I'm not sure I'm born in

165
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 3: seventy I forget. If I have the chart in front

166
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: of me, I can tell you. I just know what

167
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: the baby boomers were. That's and then the millennials, and

168
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: that's kind of everything else is a little lost on me.

169
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Not sure it's important to the story, but this is

170
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: the cringe that we hope they will continue yo.

171
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 9: This is the ranking wrizzler on appropriations serving Connecticut's third district.

172
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 9: It's time to enter your dark academia Congress era.

173
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: All right, bestie house. Appropriation is the.

174
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: Money moves in Congress.

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 9: We are not chasing the bag.

176
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: We are the bag.

177
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 9: Democrats are making lives further for government funding.

178
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: It's giving, it's giving it.

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 9: So Sigma main character Energy Republican's project twenty twenty five

180
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 9: is mad sucks. Eliminating the Department of Education negative are

181
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 9: appoints basically the biggest fandom tax on the environment, on

182
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 9: your education and your rights. Big l posting it online, buddy.

183
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 9: Democrats understood the assignment, but go off, see how I

184
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 9: keep you informed? Very cute, very debut.

185
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: So somebody twenty three years old in her office looked

186
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: up all the terms that people young people use and

187
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: had them say that. And what's interesting about that is

188
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: it's the ultimate insult to the intelligence of people. I

189
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 3: hate to be lied to, not because of the passionate

190
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: love of the truth, which I think you have to

191
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: have for systems to work, but I hate to be

192
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: lied to because it's an insult to my intelligence. It's

193
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: an insult on a very deep level when you ask

194
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: someone you know, did you perform this task and they

195
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: say yes, knowing they didn't. It's not that the task

196
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: isn't performed, because it's very rarely that important. It's the

197
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: idea that you had so little respect for me that

198
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: you would rather lie, which is a very bad thing.

199
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: We have to remind we take for granted that the

200
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: next generation knows what we know. People will tell me

201
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: all the time, Man, I can't raise my kids like

202
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: I was raised. Why not? Oh they won't listen? Did

203
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: you listen? See you forget? It wasn't easy for your parents.

204
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: It wasn't easy for their parents of them, but they

205
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: did the hard work. They did the difficult things. And

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: if you're unwilling to do that, then you're the problem.

207
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: Do you understand that you're the problem? Here is a

208
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: flashback to Nancy Pelosi's this is gonna be four h

209
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: three Vermont, and this goes back to Ash Doug and

210
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: I forgot to put the year down. I think it

211
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: was eight nine ten. Maybe she's being asked if it's

212
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: if she if it's all right or the speaker to

213
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: receive a very lucrative stock deal, which we know her

214
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: trades you know there's an app. Now I don't have it,

215
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: but I've been told about it. I need to get it.

216
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: There's an app that you can track her her stock trades,

217
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: and you can track Dan Crenshaw's stock trades. And I

218
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: don't just mean track, as in you can follow them

219
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: and see what they're trading. You can actually execute a

220
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: trade the moment it picks up that that person has

221
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: executed a trade, which is it's both funny and it's telling,

222
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: and it's rather disturbing, isn't it. What if they are

223
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: out trading the general public, which by all accounts they are,

224
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: how did they get to be so good? It's almost

225
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: as if they have inside knowledge that might affect the

226
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: price stop. I wanted to.

227
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 10: Ask you why you and your husband back in March

228
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 10: of two thousand and eight accepted and participated in a

229
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 10: very large IPO deal from Visa at a time there

230
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 10: was major legislation affecting the kind of card companies making

231
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 10: its way through the through the House. And did you

232
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 10: consider that to be a conflict of interest?

233
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 11: I don't know what your point is of your question.

234
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 11: Is there some point that you want to make with that?

235
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 10: Well, I guess what I'm asking is do you think

236
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 10: it's all right for a speaker to accept a very preferential,

237
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 10: favorable stock deal.

238
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: Well, we did.

239
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 10: You participated in the I p O time you were

240
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 10: Speaker of the House. You don't think it was a

241
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 10: conflict of interests or had the appearance.

242
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 11: Now it has appearance if you decide that you're going

243
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 11: to have elaborate on a false premise, but it's not true.

244
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: And that's that I don't understand what part's not true. Yes,

245
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: that that I.

246
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 11: Would act upon an investment.

247
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: But it's pretty clear, isn't it. It's pretty clear. Does

248
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 3: anybody doubt this? Does it? Anybody doubt this? And then

249
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: we go to we go actually, you know what, let's

250
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: go to five oh four Congressman timber Shit. He was

251
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: on CNN. He's Republican from Tennessee with Brionna Kyler Keeler.

252
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: I don't know her name, and I don't care what

253
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: her name is. And he's talking about the cuts to

254
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: government and that these people should be in prison. It

255
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: should be in prison for a lot of reasons. Look

256
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: at the math.

257
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: If Elon Musk says that he thinks he could find

258
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars with a waste abuse and fraud. Why

259
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: don't we let him try this, see if he can

260
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: find it.

261
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: What does that hurt?

262
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's trying to be critical, they're attacking the

263
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: message career, and you know the problem is is that

264
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: this money, you're going to see it and going to

265
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: politicians and I mean going out to these NGOs and

266
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: all these these organizations that are they claim they're doing

267
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: a good job, and it's coming right back to Washington

268
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: and possibly both parties. And I think that's what a

269
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of these people are afraid of. They're going to

270
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. And

271
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: some of these people need to be in handcuffed because

272
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: medicative medicare should be a sacred, sacred group of people

273
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: and we should not be stealing from any any group

274
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: that is trying to help that that community. And that

275
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: is what has happened. We just had a meeting just

276
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: now in oversight. There're seven days. Somebody said, well, there's

277
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: just so infantized, so small, and then it turned out

278
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: I asked, wasn't a percentage and they said seven to

279
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: eight percent, one hundred and fifty over one hundred and

280
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars that is as being misdirected or stolen

281
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: or whatever through fraudulind or.

282
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to why don't you embrace that?

283
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: Why don't you all at CNN one, Why don't you

284
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: all CNA one trying to do.

285
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: A little cut that's with you.

286
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 12: I'm just I'm trying to do some math with you

287
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 12: talking about mountains.

288
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: You all do not support one cut.

289
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Want you at CNN, you all do not support one

290
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: daddumb cut.

291
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: In any of this stuff.

292
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: You're you're trying to use the word the lowest denominator.

293
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: You're trying to scare the most people to drive the

294
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: train against Trump, and it's not working.

295
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: The American people are not buying it. And you all

296
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: have made a.

297
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Huge error in this because we're looking unbelievable way.

298
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 12: I'm looking at the numbers man you're doing it looking mind,

299
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 12: I'm looking at the numbers that Doose just put out themselves.

300
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 12: They say they're cutting contracts that have already ended.

301
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: They say they're cutting.

302
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: A big amount.

303
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 12: It turns out it's actually a smaller amount.

304
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: That's just math.

305
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 12: Congressmen, and we're going to continue.

306
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Are you're saying there's not are you saying there's not, well,

307
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: look at the math. Are you saying there's not billions

308
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: of dollars of waste Houston product in federal government?

309
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: Are you trying to.

310
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Say that because everybody out.

311
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: There, you don't need to tell you that there's a CBO.

312
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 12: That's what we're trying to discuss is the actual number.

313
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 12: We're trying to have at least, I'm trying to have

314
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 12: an honest conversation with you about the numbers and CBO

315
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 12: estimates and the numbers that experts on this topic expect

316
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 12: there to be. Congressman Tim Burchett, thanks for joining.

317
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Us named experts. Thank you so much. You've got the

318
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: Michael Berry's Show. Senator Rick Scott on CNN with Jake Tapper,

319
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: he rattled off a statistic and I'm going to replay

320
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: for you and then we will discuss it. I want

321
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: you to pay attention to this because I'm always mindful

322
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: when I see something or hear something. I'm always mindful

323
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: that when we play that on the show, almost everybody

324
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: is driving, and so holding numbers in your head is

325
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: not easy. It's not like looking at a graphic, which

326
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: also might have an accompanying chart, would show you you

327
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: know whether something is large or small that really makes

328
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: a visual impression. I am an auditory learner primarily these days,

329
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: not when I was a child, because there wasn't much

330
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: auditory back then. I was a reader. But as my

331
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: vision has declined with age, as most of you, most

332
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: of ours does, I have found that more so than

333
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: reading or even watching, I have found that I learn

334
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: best and I enjoy learning most in an auditory setting.

335
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: I will often go back and listen to our show

336
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: on the podcast to see just as a listener, and

337
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: I will notice sometimes that I thought I leaned something

338
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: really well, and I listen on the podcast and I say,

339
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: you did you never wrap that up? You got distracted,

340
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: or you didn't make the point clearly enough, or I

341
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: don't think I would have understood that if I was

342
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 3: a listener. So I am mindful when we use numbers

343
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: in audio bits, and that's why I try to wrap

344
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: a bow around it so you pay extra attention to it.

345
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: So again, Senator Rick Scott on CNN with Jake Tapper, I.

346
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 13: Talked to Alon Mouse quite a bit about what he's doing,

347
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 13: and he's doing what I did when I became Governor

348
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 13: of Florida.

349
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: You're looking at every program. So here's what he said.

350
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 13: He is looking at every program he can. He's given

351
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 13: information to agency heads and they're making a decision how

352
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 13: to go forward. But let me tell you, Americans are

353
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 13: fed up. Six hundred thousand and four mentrol study cycle

354
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 13: or study mistro cycles at Transander men three hundred million

355
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 13: dollars for a cement manufacturering Gaza.

356
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: I mean you.

357
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 13: Eight hundred thousand dollars for gardening in El Savador. I

358
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 13: mean tell you, I just went through the campaign trail.

359
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 13: People are fed up with wasteful government spending.

360
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: And we've had.

361
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 13: A two percent increase in population in five years and

362
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 13: fifty three percent increase in spending. We will not get

363
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 13: interest rates down, we will not get inflation under control

364
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 13: until we balance a budget. That's what we have to do,

365
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 13: and Elon Musk is part of the process of balancing

366
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 13: the budget.

367
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: Three hundred thousand dollars for menstrual cycles to what the

368
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 3: bloody hell is going on here? This was sure Michael

369
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: Singleton on CNN.

370
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 14: They don't like it, right, because fine, it's fine until

371
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 14: it comes for that.

372
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: Sure, now it's coming. Who's cutting Medicaid? Medicas security.

373
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 4: Not taking that away from anybody there is, We're not,

374
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 4: but we're we're.

375
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 14: Not taking that away from it using.

376
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 3: This talking point. It's as a scare tactic.

377
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 14: Elon Musk, the President, the House Majority leader.

378
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: The Senate leader. We have not cut anyone.

379
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: How are you cutting?

380
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 14: How are you cutting eight hundred and eighty billion dollars

381
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 14: from the Energy and Commerce Appropriation Committee until from the

382
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 14: Everagery Commerce Committee unless you cut medicaid?

383
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 4: Do you think those things are solvent? Excuse me?

384
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 3: Do you think answer my question?

385
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 14: We're after Do I think you're not needing the level

386
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 14: of Sorry, let me ask you a question. You're saying

387
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 14: we're not cutting medicaid.

388
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 5: We're not. We're not.

389
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: Congress, what is this budget.

390
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 14: Blueprint that every single Republican everybody has an idea? Julia

391
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 14: doesn't mean that I actual not an idea. It is

392
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 14: a blueprint that they said, go back to Julia. You're

393
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 14: doing right now, just your Michael. We're making Michael the cuts.

394
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 14: Why why have there why the Congress? Why the Congress

395
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 14: bother wasting everybody's time voting for a blueprint that said

396
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 14: cut eight hundred and eighty million dollars billion dollars. Excuse

397
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 14: me from Energy and Congress. The only way to achieve

398
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 14: that is to cut medicaid. How are they going to

399
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 14: do that?

400
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: Colors exist? Where have we made the cuts? It's a

401
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: simple question. Where have we made the cuts where? And when? Well,

402
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: we haven't, and everyone knows that. Next to week clip

403
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: five oh two, Ramona, I'll give you a moment to

404
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: find it. Five two. It's Congressman Brandon gil from Texas

405
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: and he says, the GAO has identified five hundred billion

406
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: dollars in fraudulent payments. Folks, there is so much of

407
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: this that it's going to drive you crazy because it's

408
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: going to come out, and sadly, it's going to come

409
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: out to such an extent so frequently that it's all

410
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: going to blend together. If one of these things came out,

411
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: it would infuriate you. But because so much of this

412
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: is going to come out, you're not even going to

413
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: be able to process it. You won't be able to

414
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: muster sufficient outrage. In this sense, you will be tired

415
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: of winning because you can't keep getting mad over everything,

416
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: not sufficiently. And yet the IRS is going to pester

417
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: you and ask you for a receipt on a twenty

418
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: eight dollars venmo or a twenty eight dollars purchase, or

419
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: they're going to question this or that, and then look

420
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: what our government is at actually doing with your money.

421
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: You've got the Pentagon losing planes and tanks, leaving dozens

422
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 3: of billions of dollars of our arsenal in Afghanistan. You've

423
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: got billions of dollars wasted in fraudulent payment. Here's Brandon

424
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: gil Well.

425
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 15: I can tell you what the nonpartisan GAO has identified,

426
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 15: and we had a hearing on this earlier today. They've

427
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 15: identified what they believed to be about five hundred billion

428
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 15: dollars just in fraudulent payments across the federal government that

429
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 15: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. This is not payments that

430
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 15: are legitimately going to people who deserve it and actually

431
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 15: should be getting this money.

432
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: This is fraud.

433
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 15: They've identified on top of that, one hundred and sixty

434
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 15: one billion dollars just last year and what they believed

435
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 15: to be improper payments. So there's an enormous amount of waste, fraud,

436
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 15: and abuse in our federal government.

437
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: That's why the.

438
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 15: Dose should work that they're doing is so important. You know,

439
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 15: for for decades, Congress has been trying to figure out

440
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 15: out what's going on at the executive branch where they're

441
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 15: spending and going out all of this money. And finally

442
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 15: we're getting some answers. And I think that the American

443
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 15: people are shocked by it. And you know, I think

444
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 15: in the coming months you're going to see some action

445
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 15: from Congress to get rid of this.

446
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 3: Says, well, everyone knows this, not just Elon, he's just

447
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: given you receipts. This was Bernie Sanders, Communist, Bernie Sanders,

448
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: all the way back in two thousand and eight. Listen

449
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: to this. There is no question.

450
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 2: That there is an enormous amount of waste and fraud

451
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: and abuse in this government. There is no question to

452
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: my mind that Congress has not been vigilant enough in

453
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: rooting out that waste and fraud to the tune of

454
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: billions and billions of dollars. I would simply say that

455
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: while it is absolutely appropriate to condemn the Congress, it

456
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: is also important to note that we have an administration

457
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 2: in this city, in Washington Dtree, DC, and the function

458
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: of an administration is to administer, and that means that

459
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: when there is waste and fraud. You have an administration

460
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: who should also be on top of that situation.

461
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: Not only Bernie Sanders. It's another annoying accent, Nancy Pelosi.

462
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: This was her two years later, twenty ten.

463
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 5: We cannot keep our promises on Medicare. We simply must

464
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: make the cuts and waste fraud and abuse in medicare

465
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched. We

466
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 5: owe it to our seniors, we owe it to our country.

467
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: And since we're on the subject, to take us to

468
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: the break, Chuck Schumer is going to be clipped four

469
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: O three saying back in twenty thoy ten, we need

470
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in medicare.

471
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 16: Huh. If we're going to eliminate the way brought an

472
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 16: abuse in medicare, it does mean we're going to cut.

473
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: Some of that out.

474
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 16: And when I hear my friend Dave Camp say you

475
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 16: cannot cut money out of Medicare, well, we don't want

476
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 16: to cut the good stuff that you point out. One

477
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 16: third of Medicare doesn't go to patient care.

478
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: You can't just get up.

479
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 16: There and say we don't want to cut anything out

480
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 16: of Medicare. We want to cut the bad stuff and

481
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 16: keep the good stuff.

482
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: I will die for the country. I will die for

483
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 3: discrabt Michael Berry Show. He's the big honor to be

484
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 3: living in the United States. I cannot remember if we

485
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: played this before, and so I'm going to play it anyway.

486
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: It's a woman who posts on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok.

487
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: People will often send me things on TikTok. I chose

488
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: not to be on TikTok, and it's not some big

489
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: statement just because the company's Chinese. It's just because I

490
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 3: didn't want to add another thing to my life. So

491
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: I'm only saying that because I'll have to hear from people.

492
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: Am I Relax? Relax, Relax. You can only be upset

493
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: about so many things. But our team is often sent

494
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: things from listeners and will share it. And the source

495
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: of where this was posted is not important. The platform

496
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: is not important. The individual is talking about criticizing the

497
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: Democrat Party because this person just left being a Democrat.

498
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: And I will tell you it is known in evangelical

499
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: Christianity as the zeal of the recently converted. No one

500
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: is more on fire for Jesus than the recently converted

501
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 3: and it's exciting actually to watch after a revival in

502
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: a small town, to see people absolutely on fire, I mean,

503
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: getting after it and this conviction. This manifests itself in

504
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: evangelical activity in such a way that it's amazing to watch.

505
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 3: But the zeal of the recently converted is true about

506
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 3: a number of things. If you see somebody who's just

507
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: stop smoking and you notice, you know that these are

508
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: the people that are dangerous because now they want to

509
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: kick down everybody's door and take their cigarettes away from them,

510
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: Or a person who has just become healthier, a person

511
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 3: who's just begun lifting, or any number of other things

512
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: like this. The zeal of the recently converted, and what

513
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: you're going to hear here is the zeal of the

514
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: recently converted of someone who has had enough of the

515
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: Democrat Party and now wants everybody to realize how nutty

516
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: that place is.

517
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: Reason I am so critical of the Democratic Party right

518
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: now is because I literally just left it. Just like

519
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: a lot of other people, I was a bleeding heart

520
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 4: liberal like all of you. I mean, blue hair in everything.

521
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 13: I mean.

522
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 4: Believe me, I have plenty of pictures proving that I

523
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: was all in. If you would have asked me a

524
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: year ago, I would have said, there is no way

525
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: in hell I will ever vote for Donald Trump. But

526
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: let me tell you what changed my mind. The big

527
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 4: moment for me was when the left started trying to

528
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 4: push this like Nazi Hitler fascism narrative that they're trying

529
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 4: to push right now. Like what y'all actually did is

530
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 4: made a lot of us really go research Trump even harder,

531
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 4: and we started to realize that a lot of things

532
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 4: that you guys had shown us about Trump and things

533
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 4: that he had said were taken way out of context.

534
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 4: A lot of us started noticing a pattern where you

535
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: guys were showing us like little ten second clips of

536
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: a ten minute conversation that did not reflect the entirety

537
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: of that conversation at all. So that was number one.

538
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: And then around Thanksgiving, all of a sudden, you guys

539
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: are telling us that it would be better for us

540
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: to sit at home and spend the holidays with no

541
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: one then it would be to go home to your

542
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: family who voted for Trump. When I heard that, I

543
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, now y'all are wilt because you cannot

544
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 4: tell me that it is better for your mental health

545
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 4: to sit at home alone than it is to go

546
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: and spend time with your friends and family. Y'all had

547
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: actual therapists getting on TV and telling you guys this.

548
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: And the sad thing is is that it would have

549
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 4: been better for them to encourage you to do something

550
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 4: like find other people that believe the same as you

551
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: to spend the holidays with. But they didn't. They told

552
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: you to stay in your home and spend the holidays

553
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: with no one. When that happened, I was like, Okay,

554
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 4: I got to give this party a second look because

555
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 4: something is not right here. But honestly, if you want

556
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: to know the truth, what really did it for me

557
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: is realizing how freaking depressed I was when I was

558
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: functioning as a liberal. Liberalism will literally make you hate yourself.

559
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 4: It will make you hate your family, it will make

560
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: you hate your friends, it will make you hate everything

561
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: about the world. And I'm not saying that you should

562
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: just be ignorant to everything that is going on in

563
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: the world, but the way that the left chooses to

564
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: internalize everything that is going on in the world is

565
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: detrimental to their mental health. And this is why people

566
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: try to tell you that empathy is dangerous, but even

567
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 4: that you want to take out of context. Empathy itself

568
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: is a great quality to have. Empathy without discernment is detrimental.

569
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: You have got to be able to discern when you

570
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: are carrying too much and you need to take a

571
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: step back, and none of you are doing that. Believe me,

572
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: it is possible to care about everything that is going

573
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: on in the world and not let it consume every

574
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: single thought that you have and every single conversation that

575
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 4: you have a lot of us are leaving the party

576
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: in droves because you guys have made it impossible to

577
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: have any sort of individual thought whatsoever. Like for instance,

578
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: if I say that I like RFK Junior because I

579
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: want bad chemicals out of my food and because I

580
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: want to know what's in my vaccines, you will assume

581
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: that I am someone who is anti VAXX and anti science,

582
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: when in fact, all three of my kids and myself

583
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: have been vaccinated. I just want to tell you guys something.

584
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 4: Every Republican most likely voted for Trump. Every person that

585
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: voted for Trump is not a Republican. The fact that

586
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: you guys are so against Trump's administration right now when

587
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: most of his administration is former Democrats who have now

588
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 4: left the party.

589
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: Y'all look wild.

590
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: I mean, the Democratic Party has brainwashed people so hard

591
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 4: that they are actually advocating against world peace right now.

592
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 4: People on the left would rather us keep giving money

593
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: to Ukraine to fund a war than to even fathom

594
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 4: getting Ukraine and Russia at the table to try to

595
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: agree to peace. A party that I joined because they

596
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 4: were so anti war and I was so against war

597
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 4: now loves war. All of a sudden. They have convinced

598
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: you to love war so much that you are actually

599
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 4: fighting for transgender people to be in the military, when

600
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: lots of groups of people are excluded for the military

601
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 4: for very valid reasons. For instance, people like me who

602
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: suffer from anxiety and depression. And even though I'm not

603
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: currently medicated, I used to take medication for this and

604
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: that would disqualify me from serving in the military. And frankly,

605
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with that. I know dan

606
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: well that somebody like me has no damn business being

607
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: on the front lines. Me having the conditions that I

608
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: have make me a liability to the safety of this country. Like,

609
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, I am all four trans rights, Okay,

610
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: I believe that you have the right to be whoever

611
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 4: you want to be in whatever way makes you comfortable.

612
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: But you really want the right to fight in the military,

613
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: Like that's the right, that's the hill that you want

614
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: to die on. Like, bro, people don't get accepted to

615
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: the military because they have phone spurs on their feet,

616
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: and you were complaining about the fact that a transgender

617
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: person can't make it into the military. Like at this point,

618
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: the left has convinced you to be so anti Trump

619
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 4: that they will get you to argue for things that

620
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 4: you used to be against. All of this summed up

621
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 4: is exactly why you are losing people every single day.

622
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: As bad as you think that you are making Trump look,

623
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: all you are doing is making yourself look ten times worse.

624
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: And this last election very clearly showed that because Trump

625
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: increased his numbers across every single demographic, across women, across

626
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: young voters, across Black Americans, across Hispanic Americans, like everyone

627
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 4: came out to vote for Trump. And it is because

628
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: we just cannot stand y'all anymore. If you guys want

629
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 4: to continue living in that kind of miserable existence, like

630
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 4: that is on you. We are not participating in that anymore.

631
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: And by saying that. I'm not saying that we're not

632
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 4: going to be participating and changing the state of the world,

633
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 4: but we don't have to be miserable while we're doing it.

634
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: So at this point, just forget everything that you have

635
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: ever heard about Republicans, because I promise you, if you

636
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 4: get a group of Trump voters in the room, you

637
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: will not be able to put them all in one box.

638
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: I promise you that the Democratic Party is no longer

639
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: the party of tolerance and inclusion and diversity. It's the

640
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: New Right. I heard someone else call us that, and honestly,

641
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 4: I think we should start calling ourselves that because we're

642
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: not Republicans. I don't consider myself a Republican. I don't

643
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 4: consider myself a Democrat anymore, but I damn well, I'm

644
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: not going to consider myself a Republican. But I think

645
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: we should coin ourselves as the new Right because that

646
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 4: is so fitting. But that's you, then, I am so

647
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 4: glad you're here and welcome to the New Right. We

648
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: would love to have you.

649
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: Good Night,
