1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, Luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Michael Varie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: A sign Blok chop, a media ron gile brother blood trop.

Speaker 1: A media rule again, glood truck, a media right Oma

5
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: right again. Hulk Hogan has done.

6
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: You gotta say, it's an interesting life. To remain relevant

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: in what I would call the noisy American pop culture

8
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: environment is a hard thing to do, and Hulk Hogan.

9
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Did that for decades.

10
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: The ups, the damns, there's a pretty good chance you

11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: remember some of the downs. I'll be out at dinner

12
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: in some public figure's name will come up, and I

13
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: say public figure, I don't just mean elected officials, could

14
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: be a movie star, an athlete, whatever. And I'm always amazed,

15
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: how with which facility, with what comfort with what, Not

16
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: even thinking about it, someone will say of a certain problem,

17
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: hey got arrested her, Oh he got in trouble, or

18
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: he got exposed, or he had a video, yeah I

19
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: remember he got the and they will they would.

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: Just dismiss that person as if.

21
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: As if it was a hamburger they were eating, and

22
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: they'd put you know, the restaurant had put pickles when

23
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: they weren't supposed to just throw it on the floor.

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: And I realized I'm not n because I'm sure I've

25
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: done it a million times myself. I realize that when

26
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: you become a public figure, you're no longer a human being.

27
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: You're a product.

28
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: And when you become a product, then just like those

29
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: obnoxious wine tasting people, they can, you know, take a

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: sip and after they've sniffed it and oh, I can't

31
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: stand that. Sorry if I've triggered your mesophonia. But and

32
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: they'll go no, no, to fruity, to too fruit forward,

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: not a good nose, bad bouquet, not enough tannings this one,

34
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: and and people will discuss a person's career. I'll prove

35
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: my point. David Hasselhoff, free associate for me. David Hasselhoff.

36
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Now you may say, oh, I was eating that burner

37
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: off the floor, run of the toilet.

38
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: It was.

39
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: It was, indeed, And the only reason you know that

40
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: is his bratty little daughter filmed it and posted it.

41
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: I would make sure she never saw another penny for

42
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: me if that was my kid, My goodness alive, what

43
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: a brat she was. And her answer was I was

44
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: just trying to help him because he had a problem.

45
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: That's not how you help somebody. Or you may think, oh, yeah,

46
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: I remember he is all was that stupid Germany thing

47
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: he was recording songs in Germany? Okay, The reality is

48
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: David Hasselhoff had, and I know, David Hasselhoff apologies by

49
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: all measures, a very successful career. There was a period

50
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: of time where David Hasselhoff was probably one of the

51
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: ten most identifiable Americans, and then when his relevance dropped,

52
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: he went to Germany where he had very quirky popularity

53
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: in Germany as a singer, and we didn't really know

54
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: where to process that. I kind of put it in

55
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: the same category if I were to say, hey, did

56
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: you ever watch.

57
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Chips, because I did?

58
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: Remember Chips California Highway Patrol duom dum, dunk dum. Every

59
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: dude my age knows the name of Punch eric O

60
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: Strada and how cool they were driving along on the

61
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Pacific Coast Highway in California, solving.

62
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Crimes and protecting the public and being cool.

63
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: And then you go, you follow up naturally free association

64
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: again is oh yeah, didn't he end up doing novellas

65
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: in Mexico. That's sad by that measure, don't we all

66
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: have a tinge of sad in us?

67
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: Hey?

68
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: Whatever happened Old John Bishop from high school? Remember he

69
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: was such a good football player. Yeah, I heard he's

70
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: driving a forklift for the pepsi plant over in East Bernard.

71
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yeah? Wow?

72
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: Whatever happened Old Reggie Night, our star basketball player?

73
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: Did he make it to the pros?

74
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: No?

75
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: He started.

76
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: He went to McNeice, blew his knee out, and uh,

77
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: somebody said, what is he doing? He tried welding, but

78
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 2: he could. He became a pipefitter, and then something happened.

79
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: His wife got cancer and died and lost his mind.

80
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Somebody said, he's living in a trailer, and uh, with

81
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: his mom moved back in with Oh. Man, if we're

82
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: completely honest, if we're completely not. Everybody is as introspective

83
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: as the next guy. But if you're an introspective person,

84
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: you have to admit you're guilty of it, because I am,

85
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: and you have to admit that we do things like

86
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: this to feel better about ourselves. It's schodenfreud or Shoden fraud,

87
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: however you choose to pronounce it. Watching someone else stumble

88
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: makes us feel better about ourselves. And I suggest that

89
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: this is the emotion, the sentiment, the driving force behind

90
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: so much of what causes the media and establishment Republicans,

91
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: not Democrats, Republicans to hate Donald Trump. It's what causes

92
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: the Chenese and the Bushes and the Romneys to hate

93
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Trump because Trump is beloved by the voters who might

94
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: have won their vote but never won their heart.

95
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: All that because hul covid go, let me move to receive.

96
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: All right, listen for a dial tone.

97
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: It sounds like this that Michael Berry Joe Captne indicates

98
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: everything is right in.

99
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: For your call.

100
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: We get so accustomed to things being the way they

101
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: are that we forget we live in such an interesting time.

102
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: I want you to stop for a moment, and I

103
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: want you to imagine it's twenty sixteen. Donald Trump is

104
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: running for president, and he's never been elected to an

105
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: office before. He's never run for office before. We got

106
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: to go back to Dwight Eisenhower in nineteen fifty two

107
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: to find a phenomenon like this. Eisenhower had been the

108
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: leader of the Allied Forces during World War II. He

109
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: is riding high off of the glory of being the

110
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: leader of the military that wins World War two. Emotions

111
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: are high. World War two concludes, Truman, who had been

112
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: FDR's vice president, ascends to the presidency after FDR dies.

113
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: He'd been ill for quite some time.

114
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: They had hidden that from the public, very very akin

115
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: to the Biden illness. So Truman runs in forty eight

116
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: and he runs against Dewey, and now the famous headline

117
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: Dewey defeats Truman because I think it was a Chicago

118
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: Tribune back in those days. Obviously it's pre internet, pre

119
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: cell phone. Based on the early returns and the best

120
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: information they could get, it looked like Truman. Look sorry,

121
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: it looks like Dowey's gonna win.

122
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Well.

123
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: Truman, who by the way, was not above graft and corruption,

124
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: and there was grafting corruption in the forty eight election.

125
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: And Truman had come to power in Missouri as the

126
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: flunky step and fetch it for the Pendergast family, which

127
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: was an absolute criminal enterprise in Missouri. You know, the

128
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: buck stops here, Harry S. Truman is the S stands

129
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: for nothing. But he's a great guy. That's not true.

130
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: Truman was a functionary. Truman was like the guy who

131
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: is the CPA for the mafia, and he keeps the front.

132
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: You know, he makes the purchases.

133
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: He's uh, uh, what's is it? Patrick Bateman? What's the

134
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: guy's name in Ozark? Ramon, Yeah, he's like Patrick Bateman

135
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: in Ozark. At the end of the day, he is

136
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: committing crimes. He is part of the criminal enterprise. So true.

137
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: What Jason Bateman? Thank you his cousin Patrick? Okay, yeah,

138
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: all right, ye see you're thinking of Okay, So, so Truman.

139
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: Wins in forty eight, so fifty two, we've had Democrats

140
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: in control ever since FDR defeats Hoover in what thirty two,

141
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: So you've had four FDR elections and then Truman. Democrats

142
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: have had a lock on the White House. Eisenhower's going

143
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: to run, and Eisenhower could have run for either party,

144
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: and there was much discussion. Both parties were wooing him.

145
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Eisenhower had not made a lot of public statements on politics,

146
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: and he was a celebrity in the sense, you know,

147
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: in the state of Texas, we had a similar phenomenon

148
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: where Nolan Ryan considered running and both parties wanted him,

149
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,119
Speaker 2: and he could have run in one and either.

150
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: Because of the celebrity status.

151
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: I think Schwarzenegger could have won in California as a Republican,

152
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: which he did, or as a Democrat. Jesse Ventura, who

153
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: ran as an independent in Minnesota. I suspect he could

154
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: have run in any party and won. And by the way,

155
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: I think that is also true of Trump. Trump's celebrity

156
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: and his gravitas, and there is something about Trump that

157
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: people gravitate to and always have. I mean, it's celebrity Apprentice,

158
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: it's the movies. It's Macaulay Culkin, his character in Home

159
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: Alone or whatever that was. It's him on he Haw,

160
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: it's him on magazine covers, it's him on Oprah Show.

161
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: There is something about Trump that people love. But I

162
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: want you to imagine. So Trump is running. He's never

163
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: run before, first time this has been done since Eisenhower.

164
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: Wer a guy who's never run a campaign. And by

165
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: the way, the sixteen election. I can go through some

166
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: years that the Republican stable of candidates was weak and

167
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: you'd say, well, maybe.

168
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: He'd win in that year.

169
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: That's arguably the strongest slate of candidates ever to run

170
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: for president in either party. Certainly certainly in the last

171
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five years. I'm comfortable saying that

172
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: you had seventeen candidates, you could argue that eight of

173
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: those could have won at different points in American history,

174
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: with the money they could raise, the celebrity status they had,

175
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: the name id, they had, the organization, they had, the

176
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: early polling. And Trump comes out of nowhere and he

177
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: doesn't just win, he wipes the field. Ted Cruz won

178
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: a lot of Super Tuesday states. John Kasik hung around

179
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: longer than one would expect. Marco did better than maybe

180
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: folks would expect. Scott Walker was out early. I really

181
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be a tough candidate. He'd

182
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: won three elections in four years.

183
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: He was a reformer, he was the middle of the

184
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,359
Speaker 1: road guy. But you go back.

185
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: And you think about, here comes Trump out of nowhere,

186
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: and he wins, and he wins with really the Reform

187
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Party platform more of an isolationism, a more common sense

188
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: foreign policy, we're not going to get ourselves in wars,

189
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: a little more isolation a little more protectionist, much more populist.

190
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: Those are words that we bandy about in a pejorative sense,

191
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: but most Americans are in that position. America first, if

192
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: you will, and here is Trump who wins this election.

193
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: The vice chair of the DNC at the time is

194
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: Tulsa Gabbard and he is committed to Bernie Sanders as

195
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: the presidential candidate. Not committed, but she's that's who she

196
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: thinks should win. And she herself would run for president

197
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: in twenty as a Democrat.

198
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: There's no question she was a Democrat. She was certainly

199
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: not a republic And.

200
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: Then you got this left wing anti corporation environmental lawyer

201
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: who is a scion of the most royal American family,

202
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: the Kennedys.

203
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Fast forward to twenty twenty five. Robert F.

204
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Kennedy is a critical component of the Trump administration's attack

205
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: on big Pharma and trying to fix our food supply,

206
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: and Toolsey Gabbard is bringing down the Democrat deep state

207
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: machine that attacked criminally Donald Trump in twenty twenty five.

208
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: This is the Michael Berry Show show. So the afore

209
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: mentioned Toolsey Gabbard.

210
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,119
Speaker 2: Folks, I don't remember anything like this. This is Abraham

211
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Lincoln and Doris Kern Goodwin's book Team of Rivals, where

212
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: Lincoln takes the folks who ran against him for president

213
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: and puts them all into cabinet positions in the modern era.

214
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: This is.

215
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: Incredible Toolsey gabbered. This beautiful woman from Hawaii who serves

216
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: in the military, who's very, very proud of her Hawaiian heritage,

217
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: serves in Congress as a Democrat. The Democrats foced her

218
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: to vice chair of the Democrat Party. Now realistic, why

219
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: did they do that? Because she is a.

220
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Non white woman.

221
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: And she can conjugate her b verbs and doesn't scream

222
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: about whitey. So they put a non white woman in

223
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: the second in command of this of the national Party

224
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: because it's all about diversity, diversity, diversity. But you can't

225
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: put Sheila Jackson Lee there, or now Jasmine Crockett or

226
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: Maxine Waters or whatever else. So they can only go

227
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: so far with the diversity thing. And she would she

228
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: would fit the bill because she's very bright. So Polsy

229
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: Gabberd is vice chair of the DNC. In the election

230
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: where Hillary was chosen by the DNC and Bernie Sanders

231
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: runs and Bernie wasn't, they cleared the field of Biden.

232
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: Obama cleared Biden out tells Biden, you can't run. Unbo

233
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: just died. Bless your heart, you're suffering and you know

234
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: you can't run. This is Hillary's turn. We'll run you

235
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: in twenty when you're old and demented, okay, and you

236
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: can spend four years self dealing. We'll set up some

237
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: meetings with the Chinese, and you can get rich because

238
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: you've always really wanted to be rich, and you can

239
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: run all the money through Hunter. Oh.

240
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Okay, and Tulsi Gabbard blows the whistle.

241
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: That was the year that I think it really Twenty

242
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: sixteen will go back fifty years from now. I won't

243
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: be here, but they will look back and say that

244
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: was a major, major year. And I think it'll be

245
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: as big as the Great Depression in the early thirties,

246
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: the Civil War in the early eighteen sixties. It will

247
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: go down in history as this time when America underwent

248
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: a tectonic change and the teams sort of they changed

249
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: their composition. There's a very good chance that you were

250
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 2: a Democrat twenty or thirty or forty years ago. It's

251
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: a very good chance that you had different views on

252
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: domestic and international affairs. It's a very good chance that

253
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: people that you respected, who might have been a Democrat

254
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: or Republican, you have now come to learn things about

255
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: that have completely changed your opinion, and you now realize

256
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: that person is a bad person. I receive emails from people,

257
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: for instance, who will tell me that they weren't the

258
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: biggest Hillary fan, but they felt she was dishonored by

259
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: the press and the public and Republicans as first lady

260
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: because she dared be a strong woman as a first

261
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: lady and a professional and they came to learn that

262
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 2: that was all spin, that actually she was a devil. Well,

263
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: here we are Toolsey Gabber, the person who blew the

264
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: whistle on the fact that the Democrat Party was wiring

265
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: it so that Bernie couldn't win and only Hillary could,

266
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: which is in violation of their charter. That's not their

267
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: jobs to pick winners and losers, and they were doing

268
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 2: it illegally. That's when WikiLeaks did the big dump. Remember

269
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: Julian Assange, And you were supposed to believe that Julian

270
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: Assange was an evil person because he was going in

271
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: and making things transparent and open for the public that

272
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: the public wasn't supposed to know about. And this was

273
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: terrible and we were all going to die. Except okay,

274
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: let's get over the fact that he did that. What's

275
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: the content of the messages? Oh no, no, no, don't look

276
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: at that, and the world changed and what was done

277
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: to Trump changed the world. And then the twenty twenty election,

278
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 2: and then January sixth, and then the indictments and the prosecution,

279
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: the persecution, the fake cases, the felony convictions, and here

280
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: we are. It's twenty twenty five. The Director of National Intelligence,

281
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: former DNC Vice Chairman Tulsea Gabbert said something many people

282
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: in DC and the media have forgotten, and.

283
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: This is what we have to get back to.

284
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: What they have for bre Heerdon is that they are

285
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: accountable to the American people.

286
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 3: We're here today because the American people deserve the truth,

287
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: they deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. The records that

288
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: we released on Friday that were ODE and I records,

289
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: Senator Chuck Grassley's release on Monday of what is known

290
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: as the Clinton which was an appendix to the Department

291
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: of Justice Office of Inspector General's twenty eighteen report, as

292
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: well as the House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Majority Oversight report

293
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 3: that we're releasing today, all come back to and confirm

294
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 3: the same report. There was a gross politicization manipulation of

295
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: intelligence by the Obama administration intended to delegitimize President Trump

296
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: even before he was inaugurated, ultimately usurping the will of

297
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: the American people.

298
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 2: The difference between Tulsey Gabbard and Donald Trump is the

299
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: difference between William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Faulkner wrote in beautiful, langorous, rolling,

300
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 2: eloquent Southern sentences. Hemingway spoke in staccato bam bam bam.

301
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: Him Ingway was punchy sentences that were very direct. And

302
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: so it's sort of like the Bible verse Jesus wept,

303
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: so shortest verse in the Bible, but as powerful as

304
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: John three point sixteen. Because the concept of the Son

305
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: of God weeping, you didn't need to adorn it. You

306
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: didn't need to describe the tears. You didn't need to

307
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: describe his eyes. You didn't need to That was it.

308
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: Those two words so very powerful. What Toolsy Gabbered is

309
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: saying right here is that the referee is playing for

310
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: the other side is that the emperor has no clothes.

311
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: It's that evil is a foot in the country, and

312
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: it is so powerful and so devilish that it threatens

313
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 2: to destroy America altogether a lot of big words to

314
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: say that but she said it. This is as important

315
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: as anything we are ever going to cover on this show,

316
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: and more important than ninety nine point nine percent of it.

317
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: So much of political talk is showmanship and gamesmanship and sport.

318
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: This right here, this matters the Michael Berry Show, Michael

319
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: Berry Show.

320
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: We all have our struggles in life, and we all

321
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: have things about our work that we don't enjoy, whether

322
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: we work at home or out in the workforce. When

323
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: I got the news just as we were going off

324
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: the air this morning at eleven o'clock that Hulk Hogan

325
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: had died, I said to Ramon, because I had to

326
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: hear it from Jim Mudd, why didn't you tell me

327
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: that Hulk Hogan died? And he said, well, you always

328
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: say we're not a breaking news show.

329
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: He thought was funny. It's not.

330
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: We're not a breaking news show. But when the Hulk dies,

331
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: we're going to mention it. That's what we're gonna do.

332
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 2: Funny Hulk Hogan story. My dear friend, the late George Foreman,

333
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: made over two hundred million dollars on the George Foreman grill,

334
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: but it almost never came to pass that grill made

335
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: by that company was offered.

336
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: To Hulk Hogan.

337
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: They knew they needed a personality, they had the product,

338
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: and they had a huge marketing budget. Turns out marketing works.

339
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: That's good because I'm in a business that is supported

340
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: by people who pay to talk to you through me.

341
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Well, it's an influencer.

342
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: We use the word influencer now we think of influencers

343
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: as mister Beast or the Kardashians. Hulk Cogan was an influencer.

344
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: Hulk Hogan was offered to be the frontman for that grill. Now,

345
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: he wasn't offered two hundred million dollars. It had taken

346
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: that down. He was offered a cut of the profits,

347
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: small cut, but a cut of the profits. And his

348
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: team of people who reviewed all the business offers that

349
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: were presented to him, said, we don't see another little

350
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: tabletop grill that drains off the grease being anything worth anything.

351
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: What else you got, Oh, well we got this spaghetti maker.

352
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: Obia Ah, that's what people want. They want to make

353
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: spaghetti at home pasta. So the Hulk Hogan Pasta Maker

354
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: was born and it busted. Next on the list of

355
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: prospective spokesman was the champ former heavyweight chant George Foreman.

356
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: One of the most sweet, wonderful, impressive, wise human beings

357
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: I've ever met in my life. I adored that man.

358
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: He gave us our dog, George. Why we named her George,

359
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: it was because he gave her to us. He was

360
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: a breeder of prize German shepherds. He's a great father

361
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: to his kid's, great husband to his wife, inventor, pastor

362
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: of a church that he funded entirely, mentor to so

363
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: many people. Good actor, incredible boxer, A story of fifty

364
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 2: years old showing the world just don't give up. So

365
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: that product is offered to George Foreman. George Foreman becomes

366
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: the face of this grill, which they named the George

367
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: Foreman Grill. George Foreman's got a charm about him in

368
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: personal life and in front of the camera. Some people

369
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: lack it in front of the camera, but everyone loved George.

370
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: He's this big, burly guy, mean, just cuddly big fellow.

371
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: And that thing sold gangbusters, I mean gangbusters so much

372
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: so that fifty million dollars into it. The folks came

373
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: to him and said, hey, how about we buy you out.

374
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: We'll give you a one time lump sum payment of

375
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty million dollars. That'll true you up

376
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: to two hundred million. You will have made twundred million

377
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: off his thing. And because you know it, you're running

378
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: the risk maybe tomorrow's thy won't be popular anymore. He

379
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: took his buck, fifty went on his way, and the

380
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: George Roman grill did end up making a lot more money, but.

381
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Two and I think it was two hundred and ten million.

382
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: He ended up making off of it.

383
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 2: Pretty darn good haul, if you ask me. Back to

384
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: Tulsey Gabbard, she said, there is irrefutable evidence that details

385
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 2: President Obama and his national security team directed the creation

386
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: of an Intelligence Community assessment an ICA that they knew

387
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: was false. They knew what they were doing. They were

388
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: doing this on purpose, they were abusing their powers, and

389
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: we're not going to let them off the hook.

390
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and

391
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence

392
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it

393
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the

394
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win, selling it

395
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: to the American people as though it were true.

396
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't. The report that.

397
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: We released Today's shows in great detail how they carried

398
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed

399
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. They

400
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards, and withheld the truth

401
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: from the American people. In doing so, they conspired to

402
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald

403
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: Trump in that election in November of twenty sixteen.

404
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: So now we've seen it investigated.

405
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: That we never expected to see in the first place,

406
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: then exposed because a lot of things get investigated but

407
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: never revealed. The next question will be will it be prosecuted?

408
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: We have grown so jaded, and I'm as guilty as

409
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: you are, so we have grown so jaded that we

410
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: do not believe any of it will ever matter. And

411
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: I hear from you in your frust traded, and you say, Michael,

412
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: you're going on on about what Obama did, And here's

413
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: what does it matter. He's not going to prison. If

414
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: you were to ask me today, is he going to prison? No,

415
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't believe he's going to prison. But short of

416
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: going to prison, is there a reason to expose this? Absolutely?

417
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: And the reason to explode, expose this is the very

418
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: reason the left insists on tearing down monuments. It's why

419
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: isis tore down monuments in Syria that went back to Christendom,

420
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: thousand year old sacred monuments and artifacts. It's a question

421
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: of what is going to be Obama's legacy, how is

422
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: he and how are they going to be perceived? And

423
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: I want to see them sweat. I want them to

424
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: fear going to prison because the implications if a president

425
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: can get away with this and they're not prosecuted and

426
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: they're not hassled, the implications, as she notes, are far

427
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: reaching into the future.

428
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: The implications of this are far reaching and have to

429
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: do with the integrity of our democratic republic. It has

430
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: to do with an outgoing president taking action to manufacture

431
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: intelligence to undermine and usurp the will of the American

432
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: people in that election and launch what would be a

433
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 3: year's long coup against the incoming president of the United States,

434
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: Donald Trump,
