You play with a dead 29 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: goat carcass that they use a goat for the polo ball. 30 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to go to one of those games, I 31 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: really would, but I think I'd want to be there 32 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: during a cooler season because it strikes me that the 33 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: winners are harsh and the summers are worse. The horrific 34 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: attack in Boulder, Colorado. 35 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 9: The suspect seen in an orange vest walking toward the crowd, 36 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 9: throwing a Molotov cocktail, setting fire to innocent people who've 37 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 9: been calling attention to the hostages still being held in 38 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 9: Gaza up. The suspect yelled three Palestine. 39 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: It is clear that this is a targeted act of 40 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: violence in the FBI is investigating this as an act 41 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: of terrorism. I'm so tired of Islamic terror. I'm sick 42 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: of it. And the reality is the Left isn't you 43 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: could make it so that this would almost never happen 44 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and we wouldn't have to live with this. 45 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 9: The battle over THC in Texas is still lighting up. 46 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick with a stash of himp products 47 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: on his desk, claiming they could quote kill you. 48 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: This is to say, an entire generation of being hooked 49 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: on drugs. But I need for y'all to take the 50 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: story seriously. I think that Dan Patrick has mostly been 51 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: a very very good lieutenant governor. That being said, I 52 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: hope nobody tells him about beer or bourbon or wine. 53 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: Good lord. 54 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 9: South Padra Island, where two construction workers were hospitalized after 55 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 9: both were attacked by one of their co workers with 56 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 9: a circular saw. 57 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: It's a big construction saw that's used to cut through 58 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: a concrete so it was a very large laceration. 59 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: Of both of the investigators say one was cut on 60 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: his arm and neck, the other was cut on his 61 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: leg and arms. 62 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: He got to stab somebody. I couldn't fire up the 63 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: circular saw, and I mean, you know, blood was squirting everywhere. 64 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: Think about that. I wonder if he was wearing glasses, 65 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: if he wasn't wearing glasses, I mean, there had to 66 00:07:47,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: be blood spatter everywhere. Well, I'm worn out, take me out, 67 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: down trouble and I want a. 68 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: Kid, wow, serve me drank. 69 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: Garacy Frida down and I'm jumping around seven one three, nine, 70 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: one thousand.

It's a really tough deal. If 92 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: you heard our Paul Harvey, I guess it was yesterday. 93 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: Was it yesterday? Yeah, we played again Paul Harvey's piece 94 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: about the loss of life and treasury by those fifty 95 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: six men who signed a declaration of independence and the 96 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: terrible ends. Almost all of them went, most of them 97 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: chased to their deaths, and them hang tortured, their estates burned. 98 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: You think about how many people sacrifice so much for 99 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: us to be where we are right here today. It 100 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: is humbling, to say the least. 101 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 10: Well. 102 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: I knew folks were gonna want to talk about this 103 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: because my email was blowing up yesterday, and so we will. 104 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: We'll take your calls. The theories on the Trump Elon 105 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Rancor range from the straight line from A to B. 106 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Elon's angry about the big beautiful bill because it's bloated, 107 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: and he said so. And Trump does not like to 108 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: be crossed. That's fact. And he made some statements about that, 109 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: and Elon came back and they went back and forth. 110 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: There is a straight line, two egos, two big fellas 111 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: to the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man. 112 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: And it was a measuring contest. That's that's one, you know, 113 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,599 Speaker 1: very direct obvious theory O COM's Razor would tell you 114 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: that's probably what happened. There are a number of folks, 115 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: particularly staunch Trump supporters, who've been arguing on the networks, 116 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: on sites on Twitter that no, no, no, this is 117 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: a siop. They're tricking the Democrats in the media, and 118 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: there are various reasons being proffered as to why that 119 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: would be the case, and a number of reasons in between. 120 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Before we get to your call seven one thousand, I'll 121 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: give you a quick recap of what happened. I think 122 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: it is unfortunate because Elon was an important part of 123 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: getting Donald Trump elected. He was an important part of 124 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: the momentum of doge. He brought a lot of very 125 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: smart people into the campaign, both the election and the 126 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: early days of the administration, a lot of smart young folks. 127 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: He brought in a young independent vote to the campaign, 128 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: and he spent a lot of money. Now, I've had 129 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: a lot of folks tell me we don't need him 130 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: because whatever Trump does is perfect and doesn't matter. That's 131 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: not true. Trump doesn't believe that. Trump does not feel 132 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: that way. I think what happened. I suspect what happened. Well, 133 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: there are a lot of reasons. One of the factors 134 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: in all of this, and this is where the relentless 135 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: media Onslaught starts to make a difference, is that the 136 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: media was claiming from day one of the Trump administration, 137 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: before he was in office, that Elon was actually president, 138 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: and that was designed to set off Donald Trump. That's 139 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: that was that was needling him. It started yesterday morning, 140 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: mid morning when Germany's new Chancellor, Friedrich Merse was with 141 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: the President and he was taking questions and unrelated to 142 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Germany's new chancellor. And I think this was scripted. I 143 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: think this was design. They attempted to needle the president 144 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: over the fact that Elon Musk had been criticizing the bill, 145 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: which of course has passed the House and awaits Senate approval. 146 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: The President's trying to get that through by July fourth, 147 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: trying to keep that on a time frame before things 148 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: spiral out of control. And the President responded rather sharply, Look, 149 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Elon and I had a great relationship, passed tense, and 150 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: he wasn't sure that that would continue. And then he 151 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: said that Elon was upset that the pending legislation, the 152 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: big beautiful bill would roll back subsidies for electric vehicles, 153 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: and then he said he would have won the election 154 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: without Elon Musk's money and support. That did not sit 155 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: well with Elon, and he went back to why he's 156 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: against the bill. It's blow did there's a bunch of 157 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: pork in there. He had been calling out Republicans, and 158 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: Republican members of the House were feeling I think it 159 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: was mostly an internally created heat. I don't think that 160 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: their core voters were complaining, but either way, and I 161 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: think the President was probably hearing about that and did 162 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: not appreciate it. So then President Trump said, hey, look, 163 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: he criticized the ability, said nothing about me personally, and 164 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: he knew about this bill all along. Elon said, no, 165 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I didn't. And then it got ugly. It's your call 166 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand, Lucky you. 167 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: The Michael continues you lucky day. Every morning, David Malesby, 168 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: the executive director of Camp Hope, and the pastor will 169 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: send an email out to me and board and some 170 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: folks within the organization and outside of today's champion and 171 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: it's the Champion of Camp Hope. I finally got him 172 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: to stop doing the C and H both capitalized of 173 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: champions because it was setting me off every morning. I 174 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: had to wear him down complaining about that one. But 175 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: today's was every day is special. Today's was a fellow 176 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: named Jorge Howard in the front office of the Houston 177 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: Texans came out and toured and he's involved in an 178 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: upcoming fundraiser for PTSD Foundation of America, which is the 179 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: actual entity that operates Camp Hope. And there is an 180 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: event the Texans versus the Cardinals in December that the 181 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: Texans are involved in. I don't know to what extent 182 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: that means that the Texans are going to extend their 183 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: relationship or expand it, but it's good news for the organization, 184 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: which of course means it's good news for our veterans. 185 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: So several folks have suggested to me that the Elon 186 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: Musk Donald Trump rancor is a setup to lure people in. 187 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: And I've had folks send me different things that people 188 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: have said, and one of them went like, this, don't 189 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: get sucked into the argument. It's not real. It was 190 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: staged because what they're doing is by Elon coming out 191 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: and criticizing the big beautiful Bill, the folks who hate 192 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: Trump will naturally support Elon. Let me pause, hold that 193 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: mark that spot right there. I was reading yesterday that 194 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: you the analytics on Google are pretty good what's available 195 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: and not. But some news source had done a search 196 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: on the number of I had done a piece on 197 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: the number of searches on bumper stickers being removed from automobiles, 198 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: and it had surged. And the theory goes, those are 199 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 1: Tesla drivers who had put a bumper sticker on their 200 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: vehicle that said, you know, I've bought this before he 201 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: went crazy, or I hate Trump, you know I'm going 202 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: to sell this thing whatever whatever there and now that 203 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: Elon was feuding with Trump, because this is how these 204 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: people are. If he's going to feud with Trump, then 205 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: then we're happy we have our Tesla. Again, imagine your 206 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: opinion of your vehicle being related to what Elon Elon 207 00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: Musk's position. I'm so angry that he's working hard to 208 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: expose the waste of my tax dollars. I'm so angry 209 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: about that, So don't judge me for that. But in 210 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: any case, so the theory went, and there are quite 211 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: a few people proffering this theory that by bashing the bill, 212 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: that that would get Democrats in the media to support 213 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: Doge and all the cuts in order to support Elon 214 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: against Trump, and then at the last minute that do 215 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: the switch root and go, ah, we caught you and 216 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: your best Norm McDonald, We caught you. You're for the cuts, 217 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: Elon's for the cuts. Now Trump's for the cuts, so 218 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: you're off for the cuts. Huh, we caught you. Well, okay, 219 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: that's a theory. Yeah, that's one theory, and that that 220 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: had all been established in order to trap them, lure 221 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: them into taking this position. Okay, Well, I must say 222 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: the ruse was rather elaborate, including the moment where you 223 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: could you could say, okay, well, well Elon's saying Trump 224 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't have one without me. It would be a fifty 225 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: one forty nine Democrat majority without me, and a few 226 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: other things, pointing out a comment that Trump made, I 227 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: think it was twenty thirteen that was basically for fiscal conservatism, 228 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: get all the get all the waste out of there, 229 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: and he said, you know where did this guy go? 230 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: Who took this guy? Is this a body double as president? 231 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Clearly a you know, he's just a Joe Biden kind 232 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: of comment the kind of thing that I don't you 233 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: know Trump did Saturday Night Live. H Trump let him 234 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: tussle his hair. He can be a sport about self 235 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: deprecating things, but that didn't strike me as the sort 236 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: of thing. But okay, let's let's play that theory out. 237 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: If you believe that, and if you do, that's fine, 238 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: then Elon says as it grew more and more rancorous 239 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: through the course of the day. And mind you, Trump 240 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: doesn't drink, so he's not drunk. There are allegations of 241 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: drug used by Elon Musk. If you were to ask me, 242 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: do you think Elon Musk uses drug Yes, I do. 243 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: I suspect he uses drugs. I don't know that that 244 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: altered his opinion yesterday. It doesn't affect my opinion of him. 245 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: It's his personal life. Whatever he wants to do. He's 246 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: most successful businessman alive today. I don't know that. Don't 247 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: do drugs, kids, it'll stunt your growth. Well, it goes 248 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: back and forth middle of the afternoon, so obviously people 249 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: are getting in Trump's here, He's having to hear about it. 250 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: You're not happy about it. I think this had been 251 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: building for some time, and I do think it's legitimate, 252 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: And then Elon said Trump is in the Epstein files 253 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: and that's why they won't release them. Now on the 254 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: biggest social media platform at least of active users and 255 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: the intelligentsia, to say something like that would be one 256 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: hell of a sigh up. I got to say, that 257 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: would be a misdirect that had us all. That was 258 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: the old fumble Ruski that nobody saw coming. And the 259 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: reason is, once you state something like that, if one 260 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: hundred million people read that around the world, if whatever 261 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: ten million people in America read that, whatever that number is, 262 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: you will never have an opportunity to double back and 263 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: hit each one of them and get it through. You 264 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: have planted the nastiest seed out there. I don't see 265 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: anyone being willing to go along with that. But hey, 266 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: if you believe that Trump is willing to go to 267 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: that extent to get this bill passed and that he 268 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: needed to, then so be it. I don't don't. I 269 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: don't think he would ever consent to that. He is 270 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: always maintained very aggressively that he was not on Epstein Island, 271 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: he was not involved in all of that. Then by 272 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: last night, at least on Elon's side, cooler heads had prevailed. 273 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: Someone said, look, y'all need to know for the good 274 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: of the country, and he seemed to say, yeah, you're 275 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: right in any case, all right, it's your turn to talk. 276 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: Seven one three, nine, nine nine one one of them 277 00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: to your ears. This is the Michael Ferry show. Snake farm. 278 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: It just salesmastic snake farm pretty much is. 279 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 4: Snake farm. 280 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: It's a Repti six snake farm. Tesla's shares had their 281 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: worst day since twenty twenty, dropping fourteen percent yesterday. I 282 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: don't mean to suggests I know exactly why that would 283 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: be the case. One argument would be, well, there are 284 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: people who've been buying Tesla because they like what what 285 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: Elon is doing for the country with Doge. There's one 286 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: theory that goes the market does not like controversy. People 287 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: are averse to con and controversy, and they don't like 288 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: that Elon is embroiled in this. You can even extend 289 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: that into it doesn't look what I want to say stable. 290 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: I think Elon's a very volatile guy. I think Trump's 291 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: a very volatile guy, but I think Elon's a very 292 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: volatile guy. Extraordinarily volatile and I think when people are 293 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: reminded of that, it makes him uncomfortable. You're not a 294 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: normal guy to do what he's done for people who 295 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: forget that. Anyway, All right, before we get to your calls, 296 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: here was an example of one of any many emails 297 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: I received, Mister Barry, I'm gonna say what I believe 298 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people may be thinking right now. The 299 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: deal with Musk and Trump, I believe has been planned 300 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: and staged since the moment Trump came into this whole 301 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: political scene. I've heard many people say, well, Musk has 302 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: always been a Democrat. Since lately, do you know who 303 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: else used to be a Democrat? Trump? Do you remember 304 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: the Oprah interview years ago? I believe this has been 305 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: planned for a long time. I believe a lot of 306 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: this stuff that's been going on during both of Trump's 307 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: presidencies have been staged. I believe they are all in 308 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: on it with the Democrats to ruin the Republican Party. 309 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: Now. 310 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 1: I absolutely love what Trump has done for our wonderful country, 311 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: but I also believe there's going to be a big 312 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: surprise comany, a surprise coming that will absolutely destroy our 313 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: country under this presidency. I believe They are all actors 314 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: that are all playing their roles perfectly. It's like a movie. 315 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: The American voters can't keep their eyes off of Okay, 316 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: A big things are going to happen. We just don't 317 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: know what they are. All right, Let's start with Rodney Rdney. 318 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: You're only Michael Berry show. 319 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 8: Go ahead, Hey, Michael, how you doing good? 320 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: I live to you every day. 321 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 8: All I do is drive and I list to. 322 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: You every day. 323 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 10: My opinion, my opinion. 324 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: He yep, go ahead, Okay. 325 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 10: I just called to comment on Elon Musk and Donald 326 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 10: Trump their feud or whatever. If it isn't set up, 327 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 10: I'm thinking that Elon saved how many trillions of dollars 328 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 10: through dose. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Elon isn't 329 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 10: pissed off He's saved all of this money and Donald 330 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 10: Trump is spending it on the other end. I don't that. 331 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: That's my opinion. 332 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 10: That's the way I feel about some of this. If 333 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 10: it's not set up, what do you think? 334 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: I don't you know? 335 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: The reality is, I just don't know. I think it's 336 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: healthier then I don't do breaking news. Is that I 337 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: have a keen awareness that well, First of all, Uh, 338 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: primary news is not reliable. So when you have a 339 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: shooting or a mass disaster, I don't think it does 340 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: need good for me to come on the air and 341 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: talk about what's just happened, understanding that the data we're 342 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: using to come to a conclusion is based on people 343 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: who may or may not have firsthand experience, or have 344 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: talked to someone's firsthand experience, and that person may or 345 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: may not have an extra grind, or they may not 346 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: have seen the thing entirely. So there is this rush 347 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: to get news on the air or in print because 348 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: first in time gets rewards and nobody notices how often 349 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: they get it wrong. Well, then you add analysis and 350 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: perspective to the primary news, but the analysis and perspective 351 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: is on bad news. And so now you're saying things 352 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: that you have to walk back, and I don't feel 353 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: good doing that. I'm not afraid to walk back in 354 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: opinion when circumstances change. I just don't feel the need 355 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 1: to have an opinion on news on breaking news as happens. 356 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: I also think that most things that are called breaking 357 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: news are not important in the grand schemes. They're the scheme. 358 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: They're important to the person involved and maybe they're family 359 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: member and maybe that community, but they're not the most 360 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: important thing that I want to talk about that day. 361 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: And that's why we fail to see the forest for 362 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: the trees, because the trees are crammed down our throat 363 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: with this constant breaking news, which is blood gore. You 364 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: know what fits with the narrative of what they want, 365 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: which is white anybody other than the white liberals is 366 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: a bad person, and they're all racist, and they're all 367 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: out to kill people and blow stuff up, and they're 368 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: awful and mean and and you know they're a number 369 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants or good people. They're just here to help. 370 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: Everybody's out to get them. I think a lot of 371 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: stories are pushed through a funnel towards that category of 372 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: story that they want to keep promoting. Susan, you're on 373 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, my dear, Hello Michael. 374 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 8: My opinion is this is just going to blow over, 375 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 8: and these two hot heads are going to get over 376 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 8: it when the media stops picking at the scab. Okay, 377 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 8: I called today because we just got back from France, 378 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 8: and I would like to direct the conversation back to 379 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 8: do that. 380 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, so I want you to do that, 381 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: but I don't know if you sound muffled. Can you 382 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: speak directly into the microphone. I'm right here on my 383 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: phone much better? All right, what did you change? 384 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 4: Better? 385 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 8: Pardon? 386 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: What did you change? 387 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 8: I don't know what you're asking. I I just got 388 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 8: back from France. 389 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: Now go ahead with her. 390 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 8: Okay, Yeah. My my previous comment was I think these 391 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 8: are trumping musk or too hot heads talking and this 392 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 8: will blow over when the media stops picking at the scab. 393 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 8: So today's D Day anniversary, and I'm glad you brought 394 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 8: that up because I think our country has not, you know, 395 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 8: paid attention to this thing. We were invited to go 396 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 8: to France for v E Day. It was their eightieth anniversary. 397 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 8: And I can't tell you the small towns that had 398 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 8: these solemn ceremonies and the speakers and the pageantry. They 399 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 8: recognized their dead soldiers, they recognized all of their soldiers 400 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 8: that are still living for whatever war, and they invited 401 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 8: us to go back. And they had a picture in 402 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,239 Speaker 8: this little town of Lifray of my husband's uncle who 403 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 8: crashed in their town. They honored him with the rest 404 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 8: of their own. Then they proceeded the next day to 405 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 8: install a granite monument where his body was found. That 406 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 8: will and they honor him every every year. They call 407 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 8: him their liberator. 408 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: That's uncle. That That is a powerful moment, you know, 409 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: remembering someone when they're gone, refusing to forget is a 410 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: very very powerful tribute because time creates a lapse, and 411 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: often that happens. What I'm getting chill bumps imagining, and 412 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: it's not not you know, my spouse's uncle or your 413 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: spouse his uncle. I gotta think, what a great tribute, 414 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: what a beautiful thing. Thank you for that.
