1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. It's a weekend podcast, and Ramone says, 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: I do too long of an introduction to these things, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: So let me just say this. You can always send 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: me an email through our website Michael Berryshow dot com. 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: I do love to hear from you. So CNN is 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: nightly revealing polls that show how much trouble the Democrats 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: are in and what do the Democrats do every time 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: they double down. Pocahontas was at a Maxwell Frost rally 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: in Omaha when she was asked about how to get 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: people back into the party and not to disappoint well here, 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: she said. 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: Well, I got to tell you, nobody elected the Democrats 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: to lie down and play dead. The number one thing 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: we got to do is stand up and fight back. 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: And we got this coming up in September. I want 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: to say this again. Up in September, the Republicans are 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: going to need Democratic votes to keep this budget. To 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: pass a budget, Republicans now own it. They got the House, 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: they got the Senate, they got the White House. They 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: got to do what Congresses have done time immemorial and 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: sit down and negotiate. And what we're gonna stand up 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: and fight for is we are going to fight for 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: healthcare for our babies, for our best friends, and for 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: our seniors. They're gonna give it to us, and we're 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: gonna fight back. I think that's a key part. So 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: you'll use your leverage to fight back. 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: You know. 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: I want to say on this, we don't have as 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: much power as we want, and damn it is frustrating. 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: Sometimes in Washington he does things and you want to say, 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: my God, can't you stop him? And sometimes the answers no. 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: But not having as much power as you want is 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: not the same thing as having no power at all. 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: We have power and we must use it. 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: Market September, you've heard the name kilmar Abrego Garcia. He 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: ends up becoming a poster child for the difference between 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and the wacky left. President Trump took 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: questions in the Oval Office. I can't remember if it 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: was the day of the cabinet meeting or later that 40 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: afternoon or the next day, but I made my notes 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: on it, and I think this is very important to 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: understand why this case is important. He was asked why 43 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: Democrats are so emotionally attached to kilmar Abrego Garcia, and 44 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: remember they call him a Maryland man. And this has 45 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: become kind of a joke, but you need to understand 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: the history behind it. When an illegal alien comes to 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: this country from El Salvador, Guatemala, wherever else, Pakistan and 48 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: they commit a murder here, the headline will read, you know, 49 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: let's say they live in Maryland. The headline will read 50 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: Maryland man kills wife. Well, that's not a Maryland man, 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: that's an illegal alien from El Salvador or Pakistan. They 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: don't want that, so they say marilynd Man. As if 53 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: this guy grew up in Baltimore. 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 3: Anyway, they think he's going to be good for volks, 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: and I think he's very bad for folks. These people 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: are deranged. He's not good for VOTs. He beat the 57 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: even talk about him. She's been mauled by this animal. 59 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: And you know, through a system of liberal courts, you 60 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: know he's doing things. But know we have that under control, 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: and Pam has got that very much under control. Do 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: you want to comment on it? 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: No, No, We've got him under control. He will no 64 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: longer terrorize our country. 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: He's currently charged with. 66 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: Human smuggling and concluding children. 67 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: The guy needs to be in prison. 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be on the streets like all 69 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: these liberals. 70 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: Want him to be. 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: This is another moment I don't think God it's due. 72 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: Within the last week, the gold Star Families, that's family 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: who lost someone on active duty serving our country. The 74 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: gold Star Families were in attendance, and President Trump asked 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: Pete Hegset, the Secretary of Defense, to answer a question 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: about the review of Biden's horrific withdrawal from Afghanistan. I've 77 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: seen the polling numbers on the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: and that matters to military families seemingly more than any 79 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: other issue, even if they don't have active duty families, 80 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: Because if that could happen to our if that could 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: happen to those folks, it could happen to any member 82 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: of our services who is serving this country. Anyway, I 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: thought Pete Hegset did a good job. 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: On behalf of this beautiful group, on behalf of these families, 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 5: On behalf of your loved ones who fought for our nation. 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 5: America deserves answers as far as what happened in Afghanistan. 87 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 5: The military needs to answer for what happened in Afghanistan. 88 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 5: So upon the President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation 89 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 5: which showed that they're needed an even deeper dive. So 90 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 5: Sean Parnell, or Pentagon spokesman, who himself is an Afghanistan veteran, 91 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 5: is leading this effort. It's a top priority for us. 92 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 5: We're getting access to all the documents necessary, why decisions 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 5: were made, why they weren't made, why certain force protection 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 5: measures were ignored. Again, there's never been accountability for this. 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 5: It's something that Joe Biden allowed to happen that never 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: should have happened. Anybody who any objective observer knows that's 97 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 5: not how you leave a country, and certainly these families 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 5: know better than anyone else. These families deserve answers. We're 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: going to be honest about it. We're going to get 100 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 5: to the bottom of it. Sean Parnell and Afghanistan Vett 101 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: is leading it, and we're doing another half of the 102 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 5: American people. So I would anticipate middle of twenty twenty six, 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 5: that's how thorough of a review we're doing. Hopefully a 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: little bit sooner, but we're going into everything to get 105 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 5: an understanding of what happened. 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: The Biden administration also investigated their own disastrous withdraw their conclusion, 107 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. I'm not trying to make 108 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: you crazy. John Kirby said, they were proud of the 109 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: job that was done. Does the President have any regrets 110 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: about how this withdrawal was carried out? 111 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 4: The President's very proud of the manner in which the 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: men and women of the military, the foreign service, intelligence community. 113 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: I went on and on and on. 114 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: Conducted this, conducted this withdrawal. But look, I've been around 115 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: operations my entire life, and there's not a single one 116 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 4: that ever goes perfectly according to plan. Things happen. Sometimes 117 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 4: enemies get a vote. 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: If you like the Michael Berry Show in podcast, please 119 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: tell one friend, and if you're so inclined, write a 120 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: nice review of our podcast.
