1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Time, time, luck and load. 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: The Michael Verie Show is on the air. 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: I found a couple of emails I considered sort of 5 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: representative of what I get, and I'll let you listen 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: to this. And I say all of this in the 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: context not of the greater importance to the geopolitical landscape 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: or history or the future of Iran or Israel, but 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: completely in reference to whether we win or lose in November. 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: It is easy to lose sight of this when you 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: are in control of the House and the Senate and 12 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: the White House. And this is why you lose sight, 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: because you take power and you immediately begin once you've 14 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: taken power, trying to figure out how to kick some 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: of the people in that are in out and get 16 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: some other people in to replace them. And you create 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: out of that a weakened state and you allow outsiders 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: to take back the castle. That's where we are right now. 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: That's where we are. And most Trump's supporters don't see 20 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: that coming because Trump is the be all and end all, 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: and you cannot criticize anything that's happening. And I know 22 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: this because I read the emails. Just don't criticize Trump. 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: What is wrong. Why are you criticizing Trump? Fine? 24 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: Had Trump not been criticized, and he is now openly 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: admitting this, he would have endorsed Cornan. That would have 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: been a disaster because Paxton's going to beat Cornyn even 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: with the Trump endorsement of cornin the polls now show 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: that is without a doubt. That would have been a 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: huge black eye to Trump. It would have alienated a 30 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: lot of voters. And you know what it would have 31 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: done every other person that Trump endorses. It would have 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: reduced the value of his endorsement to those people. Somebody 33 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: trying to get me involved in a congressional race in 34 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: Nevada that's coming up, and one of the pitches for 35 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: this particular candidate was he's got huge Trump support. 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: Does he know? 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I bet Trump doesn't know his name, Trump's endorsing him. 38 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: That may be the case. 39 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: Trump has had some bust endorsements because Trump has to 40 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: rely on someone, and sometimes he relies on bad people. 41 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: Those are the failings of being the president and all 42 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: the various moving parts. But here's an example of some 43 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: of the emails I get that I think kind of 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: represent the discontent out here in the hinterlands. Some of 45 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: US older Americans see the Irani issue as a continuation 46 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: of the USA sticking our noses into failed European attempt 47 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: to control foreign countries like we did in French Indo 48 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: China otherwise known to US as Vietnam. Also, some of 49 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: US older Americans read history and understand the year zero 50 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: regarding Iran was nine, nineteen seventy nine. I'm not excusing it, 51 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: just understanding everything is in reaction to something else, like 52 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: Ron Paul wants reference to in his presidential debate presentation 53 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: and encouraging a certain former mayor to read after demanding 54 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: that a POTUS president go to Congress and ask for 55 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: a declaration of war outstart and demanding that a POTUS 56 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: go to Congress and ask for a declaration of wars 57 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: not suicidal. What is suicidal is not to have impeached 58 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: and removed presidents for violating their oaths. We clearly are 59 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: in a post constitutional period of power politics and getting worse. 60 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: How many trials and convictions for the fake Gulf of 61 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: Tonkin fifty thousand deaths and casualties question mark ps I 62 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: voted for Trump three times, voting this time is really 63 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: getting to be souring Another one I'm not giving these names. 64 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: That was a man to a woman last night. Trump 65 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: said the US is drilling all over lie number one, 66 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: and then he said we're oil independent, line number two. 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: Someone in his cabinet is obviously lying to him. As 68 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: much as he supports other industries in this country, when 69 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: it comes to the oil industry, he sucks. I worked 70 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: for Antadarchico Petroleum for I don't want to be too 71 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: specific here over twenty years and unless oil is at 72 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: least seventy dollars a barrel, oil companies will not drill. 73 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: I am a Trump supporter, but the lies he spouts 74 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: about drill, baby, drill are simply not true. Interestingly, and 75 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: this surprised me. It started early in his second term. 76 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: A lot of the American oil and gas community is 77 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: not supportive of the Trump agenda. It was designed to 78 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: lower ge ask prices at the pump for you and me, 79 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: which had the necessary and obvious effect of hurting their 80 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: industry as suppliers, providers, refiners, and the like. Finally, this 81 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: also from a woman, is a woman who sends me 82 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: an email every day. I don't read them every day, 83 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: but I have found them to be rather enlightening. Enlightening 84 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: does not mean I agree with every opinion that someone has. 85 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: Some people really seem to struggle with this. 86 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: Michael, you foreigner, you against it. 87 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: I'm just asking questions. Sometimes you just ask questions because 88 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: you're not certain yet. Promised you the scorecard here it is, 89 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: He answered zero of the seventeen questions, zero, not one. 90 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: She's reviewing his speech last night. The attached document scores 91 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: the speech in six parts. A Latin lesson, he said, 92 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: decimated twice. It means reduced by ten percent. You know 93 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: when people quibble over things like this. Yes, I understand 94 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: the literal meaning of decimated from Decca. 95 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: And meaning ten. 96 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: However, I think most Americans generally used decimated to destroyed. 97 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: If you're arguing over that, you're losing your audience. The 98 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: seventeen questions graded one by one. Twenty seven predictions that 99 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: filed five hours before the address, twenty four of which 100 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: were correct. This is her own review of her work, 101 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: A line by line fact check, the speech it should 102 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: have been given, and the bottom line. He told at 103 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: least an Easter lunch crowd that this speech was going 104 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: to be quote telling everybody how great I am. Then 105 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: he did. He said, satellites are watching the uranium satellites. 106 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: He said, satellites are watching the uranium. Satellites can't see 107 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: through granite. He told Europe to just take the straight 108 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: Lloyd's of London pulled coverage three weeks ago. He said 109 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: the war is nearing completion. Iran fired ten missiles at 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: Israel on passover. He did not say the word passover. 111 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: The drinking game was not fair. You'd have been on 112 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: the floor by minute six of his speech. Also, we 113 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: launched our first mission to outer space in half a century. 114 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: In the damn toilet broke before we made it. 115 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: Two hours down the road, my nine year old sons 116 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: I won't give the kids name, said that's in April fools, right, mom. 117 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: My seventy four year old father said, they really need 118 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: to get their crap together. I said, this day is 119 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: a testament to American exceptionalism. That is an uncertain conclusion 120 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: to a topic that I have been loath to weighed 121 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 2: too deeply into because I don't want to be defined 122 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: by it. And I think that should be a good 123 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: lesson for the Trump administration. Americans are not concerned about 124 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: Israel or Iran right now, and really never are Americans 125 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: were not concerned about Ukraine and Russia. Americans were not 126 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: concerned about Vietnam in the fifties, in particularly early to 127 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: mid sixties, and then of course only concerned to the 128 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: extent that their loved ones were there. Into the mid seventies, 129 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: Americans were not concerned over Syria. Americans were not concerned 130 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: over Afghanistan. Now, you can send me along email about 131 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: how you served twenty years in the military and you 132 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: were concerned. You can send me a long email about 133 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: how you're from that country and you're concerned. I'm telling you. 134 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: To go to the grocery store and you ask people. 135 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: That's not what people are concerned about. And when it 136 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: appears that that is what you, the president, are concerned 137 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: about and not what matters to them, they're going to 138 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: vote against you. Period. End of story. Wake up and 139 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: learn a lesson Michael Berry's show. 140 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: I want you to hear what I'm saying, and i 141 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: want you to hear exactly what I'm saying and what 142 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: I'm not saying. And I'm going to try to be 143 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: as clear as I can at this. If you find 144 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: yourself thinking, well, yeah, Michael, but you don't know I 145 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: read this report from this guy, and this is why 146 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 2: Iran is important, or but you don't know, Michael, here's 147 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: what's really happening inside Iran. 148 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: I saw this on gut Fail, I saw this on 149 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: filling the blank. 150 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: There are lots of sites out there, lots of people 151 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: writing things, saying things. 152 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: For the sake of the argument in making my point, 153 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: let's assume. 154 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: That everything the report or the person or the guest 155 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: or the expert, because man, he's got all the credentials 156 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 2: and you're really impressed by Let's assume all of those 157 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: things are true. I don't know that that is true. 158 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it is, I don't know. I 159 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: don't just take things as they are told to me. 160 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: But let's assume, for the sake of the argument that 161 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: those things will stipulate those as true. Now, I will 162 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: still tell you that's going to cost us the midterms. 163 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: The midterm election is not going to be argued over 164 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: exactly how much uranium does Iran have? And did we 165 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: extract all of it? Did we bunk or bust all 166 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: of it? How stable is the regime? How likely is 167 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: the regime to save rattle in the region within two years? 168 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: How likely is the regime. Is the regime to be 169 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: able to launch nuclear warheads within three years? How likely 170 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 2: is the regime to disrupt the oil supply? How likely 171 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: is the regime to be able to hold the straight 172 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: up of hormones the way Naser hoped to control the 173 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: Suiss Canal for a decade or more. How likely is 174 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: that to affect the non American economy and eventually domino 175 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: effect the American economy. None of those things will determine 176 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: the midterm election. And even if you can answer those questions, 177 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: or if you're willing to answer those questions, that every 178 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: bit of those should frighten you, because Iran is the devil. 179 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: Even if you're willing to do that, it will still 180 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: not affect the midterm elections. That's not what a voter 181 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: is going to vote on. But Michael, I have come 182 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 2: into this information and the information I have come into 183 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: from a guy who was a guest on a show, 184 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: from a report that was sent to me by a friend, 185 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: from a report of someone who's really smart that I follow, 186 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: and he met Oliver Nowick North one time, from a 187 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: guy who went to Michael Finn's beach and he bought 188 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: me this book, and I just read it. 189 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: All those things may be. 190 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: True, and I don't know that they are true, but 191 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: I'll stipulate the fact. 192 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Sure they are. 193 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: Go to a grocery store, go to a gathering of 194 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: Republican voters. By the way, actual voters don't gather conventions, 195 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: precinct meetings, rallies. Actual voters don't go to those. Michael 196 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: House one, No, five thousand people go. Look at the 197 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: number of people to vote. That's some minuscule slice. Just 198 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: like the outrageous gay parade. Gay people don't represent gay people, 199 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: just like Black Lives Matter doesn't represent black people. 200 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: Fill in the blank. Fell in any. 201 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: Group you want, the average person is not as into 202 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 2: whatever you're into as you are, And the failing is 203 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 2: assuming they are. And the failing is that the people 204 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: who are really into something use the presidency and the 205 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: president's ear and the trust they have built with him, 206 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: and his inability to get a lot of. 207 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Outside views because it's hard. 208 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 2: He has to necessarily live in a bubble, and he 209 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: only has so much time to advance an agenda on 210 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: the basis that the base cares. When the base doesn't care, 211 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: James Carvell became nationally famous and rightfully so in nineteen 212 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: ninety two, when the discussion was what's the most important 213 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: thing the American people care about? 214 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: George H. W. 215 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: Bush, less than a year before, was sitting on ninety 216 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: two percent approval rating, the highest approval rating they had 217 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: ever been seen for a sitting president. 218 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: There was no way he could win. 219 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: The field was cleared for Clinton to have the nomination, 220 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: despite Jennifer Flowers, despite the bembo eruptions. 221 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 1: As Hillary and de D. 222 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: Myers called him, Bill Clinton was a wounded candidate. H 223 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: ross Buo comes out of nowhere with no real base 224 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: and is doing Larry King interviews, announces on Larry King 225 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 2: and James Carvill said what turned out to be so 226 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: prophetic it's the economy comma stupid. They didn't swindle voters, 227 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: They didn't manipulate voters. They didn't tell voters obsessed with 228 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: Saddam Hussein, obsessed with Bush's foreign policy, that you should 229 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: instead care about whether you can balance your checkbook. 230 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: They didn't need to. 231 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: You know, over the years, I have noticed that when 232 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: we post something I have said or written and it 233 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: goes viral, which is not very often. I'm not a 234 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: big online presence, but when something that I say or 235 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: right goes viral. It is never because it is so 236 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: profound or clever or witty or insightful. It is because 237 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: it relates to the issue that everybody is already talking about, 238 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 2: and it in some way furthered the conversation or squeaked 239 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: in the back door, and someone noticed it and brought 240 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: it up to speak. 241 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: That's what happens. 242 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: I had a post after a harvey about the lines 243 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: of people waiting to get help and all the volunteers 244 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: helping them, and it went insanely viral, to the point 245 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: that if everything I ever wrote was that viral, I 246 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: could literally make a living just doing that. 247 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to, but I could. It went that viral, 248 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: crazy viral. 249 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: Because it was on the subject that people were all 250 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: ready craving information on. That is why people who make 251 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: their living with clicks. I don't, but people who make 252 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: their living with clicks will tend to focus on what's 253 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: happening right now. During the super Bowl, They're posting about 254 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. During a bombing raid, They're posting about 255 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: the bombing raid. During the inauguration, because people are already 256 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: going there, and the algorithm of funnels. 257 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: You it's like a like a cattle shoot. 258 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: It pushes everybody into this lane with the hashtags, and 259 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: it pushes that content to the front. Because it's unclear 260 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: checking out of the egg, which happened first. Did people 261 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: really really really really really want to know about the 262 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: super Bowl during the Super Bowl online? Or did Twitter 263 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: say we're going to push super Bowl content to the 264 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: front and that meant that that pushed everything else out 265 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: Because it's a zero sum game. If you're talking about 266 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, you're not talking about all the other 267 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: things that happened. And in the media space, it tends 268 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: to be feast or famine. So when the president has 269 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: to devote so much. 270 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: Time to the war on Iran, he's not able to 271 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: devote time and. 272 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: Energy and care and compassion and plans and an agenda 273 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: for the things that the people at home care about, 274 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: and that is not Iran. 275 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Michael Barry's show. 276 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: Richard, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, 277 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: first call of the day, Richard, Hello, yes, sir, you're up. 278 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 279 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: Michael, My in law is a going a machine shop 280 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: for nearly fifty years, and we're all Christian Conservatives, always 281 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: voted Republican but every time there's a Democrat in office, 282 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: they do better. So they're oil related obviously, a machine 283 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: shop here in Houston, and it's crazy. My wife, who 284 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: has been to help run the business for thirty years, 285 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 3: it's been telling me that year after year. I'm like 286 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: that bothers me. But you know, it's a lot of 287 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: reasons are oil tends to be when a democrats of 288 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: office at that seventy or above per barrel, which like 289 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: the gentleman said it emailed you is correct. That's when 290 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 3: it's profitable for old companies and it trickles down to 291 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: the machine shops to do work for their old companies. 292 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 2: Yes, I have a friend named Mike Bowman that owns 293 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: a company called Hunt and Hunt and we've had this 294 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: conversation and it's turned out to be true for them 295 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: as well. They do the downhold drilling guns. They manufacture them, 296 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: and he has been at the forefront of the use 297 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: of AI technology to do things that used to have 298 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: to do by hand. And he said there's only three 299 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: shops in the country, the three shops in the world 300 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: that do what he does. I think one's Dutch or German, 301 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: and he is in a Chinese shop and if we 302 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 2: lose that shop, we lose our ability to do that. 303 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: Well, we'll live. 304 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 2: Without downhold drilling guns and we might have to import 305 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: it and pay ten times as much. But you think 306 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: about that large across our industry manufacturing components for planes 307 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 2: or tanks or guns or pacemakers or whatever else. The 308 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: cost of let's not talk about the price, but the 309 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 2: cost which is different to extract and provide oil for 310 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: civilian transportation, for mass transportation, for aviation, for manufacturing, has 311 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 2: such an effect downstream. There's a butterfly effect to all 312 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 2: of this, and it becomes, you know, one thing happens 313 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: at leads to one thing, that leads to one thing 314 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: that leads to one thing. 315 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I read this morning. 316 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 2: This is how successful the GLP one drug, the shot 317 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: till now the shot, and now the pill. I think 318 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: Eli Lilly is a company that's been given approval. I 319 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: don't know if they get the exclusive on the pill 320 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: or not. I'm not sure how that's going to work. 321 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: But it is estimated, and this is probably their puffed 322 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: up numbers, that they would make thirty billion dollars by 323 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 2: twenty thirty, a princely sum that would be seven times 324 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: what Novo Nordisk has made already with with the ozembic 325 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: class of drugs that they kind of think I think 326 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: they sparked it. I may be getting my manufacturer's wrong, 327 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. 328 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: Point is. 329 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 2: The drug has been so it's been used widespread to 330 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: such an extent that airlines are now reporting a restrict 331 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: a reduction in fuel consumption as a result of decreased 332 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: passenger load. Now, if that is true, and I believe it, 333 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: because I believe the source airlines are spending less on fuel. 334 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: You know, if you ever fly a small puddle jumper, 335 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: you know, you go to some Caribbean island or some 336 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: South American island or anywhere else, a small plane and 337 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: they ask you your weight, and you know there's comedy 338 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 2: bits on. You don't want somebody lying on that because 339 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: the load that that plane is able to take and 340 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: the lift. There's places in Colorado, for instance, where you're 341 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: in a bowl inside a mountainous area and a small 342 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: airplane with a short runway that is you know, that's 343 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: how Jim Croche died because of one little sapling at 344 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: the end before they could get up and get any lift, 345 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: clipped the end of the plane and you're just as dead. 346 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: Those things are so so, so. 347 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: Vulnerable. 348 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: I guess would be the word that you don't want. 349 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: You don't want to get that wrong. So my point 350 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: about all of this is that rising gas prices, which 351 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 2: they have have, first of all, wiped out all of 352 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: the goodwill that Trump got from the early days of 353 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: his administration. I receive input from a broad range of 354 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 2: people literally every day, so I feel like I get 355 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: a pretty good send from across the country. We're on 356 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: over one hundred stations now, I get a pretty good 357 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: sense of where people's mindset is, at least as it 358 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 2: relates to Trump supporters. I'm not hearing from ACLU lawyers 359 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: every day. I understand that. I'm not hearing from Black 360 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: Lives Matter every day. I understand that. But I am 361 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: hearing from people who are loyal to the Trump base. 362 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: And when those people tell me that they're unhappy, that's 363 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 2: when you've got a real problem. That's when you've got 364 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: a significant problem on your hands. And I believe we 365 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: have a significant problem on our hands, because, as I 366 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: said in the last segment, there is a zero sum game, 367 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: and every time the president is using a primetime address 368 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: to explain why we're in Iran. He is not using 369 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 2: that very valuable political capital. He has to talk about 370 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: things that when you drive down the darkened street at night, 371 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: the light inside is a conversation about X. It is 372 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: not about Iran, and we don't need to get into 373 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: the wys and wherefores. 374 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: Of Iran or Israel or Ukraine or Russia. 375 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: You can have your opinion as to how important those 376 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 2: are because you have now seen the light and you 377 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: recognize their importance. Fine, you also represent one vote, and 378 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 2: I'm telling you there's ten votes in line behind you 379 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 2: at the polling booth ready to vote differently than you 380 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: because they don't think those are important. And if your 381 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 2: answer to that is well, everybody else is stupid. That 382 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 2: is not a winning strategy for all elections. If you've 383 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 2: decided I'd rather be right than be president, as the 384 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 2: famous line goes, then you'll never be president. If you 385 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: want to win elections, you want to know why the 386 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: Democrats beat us. And I've said this many times, and 387 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: this is a great example. The Democrats will say and 388 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: do anything to win elections. Why do people vote for 389 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: these people who are nuts? Because around election time, the 390 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: smart people in the room that the billionaires have hired 391 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: to win elections. Go, hey, knock it off with that. 392 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: We don't care if somebody's got a wianer, or don't 393 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: stop talking about that. You did that because that's what 394 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: you care about, or that's what the activist told you. 395 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: To leave that alone. 396 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: Talk about compassion and care because that wins elections. People 397 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: voted for Bill Clinton, people voted for Barack Obama, not 398 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: on the basis of all their wacky agenda. They didn't 399 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 2: campaign on the basis and I'm going to do all 400 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: this crazy stuff. They campaigned on hope and change. They 401 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: campaigned on I care about you. People need to hear 402 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: that or they want to let me say people want 403 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: to hear that, and so they do, and that's what 404 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: you get. So it will come election time and if 405 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: we're still dragged into all of this, we will lose, 406 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: and we will lose badly, and we'll wonder why in 407 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: the hell tee A quick story James A. Baker, the 408 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: third who would go on to be Chief of Staff 409 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: to the President, lawyer for the two thousand election, Secretary 410 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 2: of the Treasury, Secretary of State, considered one of the 411 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: greatest American leaders of all time. Really the brains behind 412 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: much of George H. W. Bush and fortunately a Houstonian. 413 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 2: The Rice University is his family. He's running for attorney 414 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 2: general in nineteen seventy six against Mark White. The attorney 415 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: general doesn't put people in prison. Mark White didn't add 416 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: where he slammed a prison door shut, and he said, 417 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: I'll put the bad guys away. 418 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: James A. Baker. 419 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: The third response was he doesn't have the power to 420 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: do that. He lost the election. He said, I should 421 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: have done that. 422 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: Spot The girls all get pretty at closing time. 423 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: When you're listening to the Michael Berry Show. 424 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard for. 425 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: Some people to understand that there are Americans who would 426 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: show up and vote in November and not vote for 427 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: Trump's candidates, not vote for the party that supports Trump, 428 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 2: instead vote for the party of whack jobs. Let me 429 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: ask you this, be honest. Don't live in an echo chamber, 430 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: because then you lose the ability to be reasonable. What's 431 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: in the news right now. Crazy Democrat proposals are not 432 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: in the news right now. The crazy stuff they do 433 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: the way they would, they're not in the news right now. 434 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: There is a Republican civil war going on right now. 435 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: And that is what is in the news and a 436 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 2: subset of Republican voters. I'm not suggesting it's a majority, 437 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: it's ten or twenty percent, but it's enough to make 438 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: a difference. Is retreating to their office and closing the 439 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: door or their room and closing the door, and they 440 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 2: are going to YouTube and they are getting the content 441 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: that is carefully curated for them in their mindset, and 442 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 2: a lot of that content is people who were Trump 443 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: supporters who are now very much not Trump's supporters and 444 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 2: openly saying so there are people who voted for Trump 445 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 2: over Kamala who are angry over Operation Warp Speed and 446 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: angry over the unwillingness of the administration to put a 447 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: complete end over the shot. You can think they should 448 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: just play ball and get on board like you have, 449 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: but they're not. And I'm telling you that's going to hurt. 450 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: And it's a problem that the president can fix, but 451 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: he's not going to because it involves saying I was 452 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: and he's the funds. He just can't do it, can't 453 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: do it, won't do it. So you've got that issue 454 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: that bubbles, You've got Iran and the Iran discussion. If 455 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 2: you just go scan and you can end up you 456 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: can end up a deep dive. Whether it's Candice Owens 457 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: or Tucker carlsoner Alex Jones or Alex Stone or Philip 458 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: There's loads of this stuff. And the audience of those 459 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: things might not be as big as say Fox News 460 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: has at any given time, but it's loyal, and it's consistent, 461 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 2: and it is active, and it's it's very active out there. 462 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: So when Tucker Carlson had Nickquaintess on, and most people, 463 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: myself included, really don't know who Nick Pointess is. You 464 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: can spend five minutes. I didn't know what a groyper 465 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: was anymore than I knew what this gender meant. I 466 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: didn't know what any of that meant. There is a 467 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 2: whole the conservative inc argument, the Ben Shapiro, where does 468 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: Megan Kelly come down in all of this? But I 469 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: will say this, there has become. 470 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: There is you talk about a distraction. 471 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 2: It used to be the case that conservative pundits were 472 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: supportive of the president and attacked the Democrat agenda. But 473 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: then the issues became very divisive and Trump became a 474 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 2: full crumb or Trump got swept up in the full 475 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: crumb of the Israel issue. And I think the mistake 476 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: that was made by the Shapiro crowd particularly was the 477 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 2: idea that if you so much as ask a question 478 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: about America's involvement, if you so much as ask a 479 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: question about who was really running Jeffrey Epstein, and I 480 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: don't care how many times you call people anti Semitic, 481 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: the Epstein issue reeks of filth, a rot that has 482 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: infected the American elite. And nobody believes that Les Wexler 483 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: and whatever his forever twenty one retail empire was the 484 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: one funding all that. Nobody believes that Epstein is some 485 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: Willy Wonka character giving out golden tickets of sex with 486 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: children because he's a super, super wonderful guy. Nobody believes 487 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: that most people believe it is a foreign government involved. 488 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: Most people believe that's a hard op for China to 489 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 2: pull off. Most people believe that it's either Russia or Israel, 490 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: and a lot of people believe it's Israel. 491 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: You can believe it's Israel, not believe it's Isral, or 492 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: not care. 493 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: But for those people who do, that opens the door 494 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: to a whole Pandora's box of who's pulling the strings 495 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: because Epstein's not about Iran. Epstein's not about Ukraine, Russia war, 496 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: our involvement in Syria, our involvement in Vietnam, our involvement 497 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: wherever else. Epstein is about the control of America's governing 498 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: elite by a foreign entity of some sort or another, 499 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: whoever you believe it is. And that has people in 500 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: a complete panic. And they go to the YouTube's and 501 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: they go to the Internet, and where questions arise, answers 502 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: will be presented, whether they're accurate or not. So people 503 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: begin a self discovery. Oh my god, I didn't know this. 504 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: Except they're engaging in this self discovery without the benefit 505 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: of having friends their age who are living in their 506 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 2: dormitory that they can bounce ideas off at two am, 507 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 2: without having a classroom to discuss. They go to the 508 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: machine shop. By day, they come home, they get on 509 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: the internet. This guy is very, very clever, he uses 510 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: clever words, he's got good graphics, and he says, bet 511 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 2: you didn't know this, and you go whoa, And before 512 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: you know it, whatever rabbit trill they've started off on 513 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: is where they're going real deep. And it ends up 514 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: an inch wide and a mile deep and I hear 515 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: from these people every day I see it. It's honestly, 516 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: it's how Muslims, your average run of the mill Muslim 517 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: becomes radicalized because you begin this echo chamber of whatever 518 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: that issue is, and so you and then everything you 519 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: see fits neatly into the basket of this or that conspiracy. 520 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: I'm not speaking to the integrity of the argument behind 521 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: the conspiracies. I am speaking to the fact that the 522 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: president's leadership is lost on this because he has been 523 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 2: dragged into a war that is exhausting his political capital, 524 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: and it's bankrupt when it comes to getting people elected 525 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 2: come November, and the people around him do not necessarily 526 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: serve his interests. Our interests are the country's interests, and 527 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: more and more Americans are starting to notice Trump can 528 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: write this ship before November. But the first step is 529 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: understanding you've got to get Susie out of there, You've 530 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: got to get Lsavita out of there, You've got to 531 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: get the people behind the Karl Rove influencers out of there.
