1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: BlackBerry Smoke. I can feel a good one coming on.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: It's the Michael Berry Show.

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: You don't know how great things are going in this

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: country right now? I can tell the Greg Mitt Romney,

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: who is the epitome of the Republican establishment that hates

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: Trump and more importantly, hates you and your involvement in

9
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: the process. That's the thanks you get for supporting for

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: supporting his sorry self. In twenty twelve, when he ran

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: that horrible election campaign that allowed that allowed Barack Obama

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: to serve four more years, Mitt Romney was on CNN

13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: with Jake Tapper and are you ready for this? You

14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: know this is the case. Mitt Romney knows this is

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: the case. But Mitt Romney admitted that MAGA is now

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: the Republican Party.

17
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: Do you still think there's going to be a post

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 3: Trump Republican Party or is MAGA now the Republican Party?

19
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: Oh, MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is

20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: the Republican Party today. And if you were to ask

21
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 4: me who the nominee will be in twenty twenty eight,

22
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: I think it'll be jd Vance.

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: All right.

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: He's smart, well spoken, part of the MAGA movement.

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: You said something pretty harsh about him a few months ago,

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 3: though you could not have less respect for somebody than.

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: Long, long ago.

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: I'm not going to rehash history, and we've worked together in.

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: The Senate since then. But I know that is.

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: What the Republican Party is and will the party need

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: to change. Look, the Republican Party has become the party

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: of the working class, middle class voter, and you've got

33
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: to have Donald Trump credit for having done that, taken

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: that away from the Democrats.

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: And the fact that Mitt Romney did not dominate with

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: the working class in twenty twelve, not just that he

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: didn't win a high enough percentage of them, that people

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: didn't show up to vote, because even though they did

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: not like Barack Obama, they didn't want Mitt Romney. He

41
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: didn't inspire them. And that is a big, big, big issue.

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: He said he felt the need to criticize Trump's cabinet,

43
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: but then he says something again that suggests maybe, just

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: maybe he's trying to weasele his way into Donald Trump's

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: good graces.

46
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: I know you're not going to be voting on them.

47
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: And I know you're loath to talk about individual ones,

48
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: but I'm wondering if there's a perception you have of

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: the people he is putting into his administration, which are

50
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: certainly very different than his first administration.

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: Well, a very famous book talked about Abraham Lincoln choosing

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: a team of rivals. This is a team of people

53
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: who are very very different, extraordinarily different backgrounds, different perspectives

54
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: and issues. In some cases, I think even than the president.

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: So an unusual collection of individuals, not the people I

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: would have chosen.

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: But I lost.

58
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 4: He won, all right, I'd like to revisit that and win,

59
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: but I didn't get that chance.

60
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: And so these are the.

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: Kind of people he wants to run him.

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: He's entitle to that. Now.

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: The Senate has a responsibility to make sure that these

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: people are legitimate, that there's no skeleton that could be

65
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: an embarrassment to them or the country, and also determine

66
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: if they're qualified for the position that they've been.

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Nominated to, and.

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 4: I expect them to carry out that responsibility with conscience

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: and diligence.

70
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: The establishment realizes they've been vanquished. They realized not all

71
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: of them will admit it, but they know. Bill Crystal knows,

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: the Lincoln Project knows, Adam Kinsinger knows. Liz Cheney and

73
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: her daddy, Dick Cheney know. The Bushes no, Jeb Bush knows.

74
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: The people don't want them anymore. They represented a Republican

75
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: Party that could not win because they could not win

76
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: the hearts and minds of the American working class. They

77
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: had no populist appeal, they had no patriotic appeal. They

78
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 2: were trying to cobble together a coalition and it wasn't working.

79
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: We were losing to the Barack Obamas. Because of them.

80
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: You have taken back the reigns of your government. And

81
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: this is a transformative moment. I've watched a lot of elections,

82
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of movements. I got to tell

83
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: you this, it's a powerful, powerful moment. It's a very

84
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: powerful moment. I was around and active in twenty ten

85
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: twenty twelve when we had the rise of the Tea Party,

86
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: but we didn't have a candidate like Trump at the

87
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: top of the ticket that that could really be the

88
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: tip of.

89
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: The steer for this movement.

90
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: For Michael Berry show, if he doesn't say it, then

91
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: who will You may remember the name Alexander Vendman. He's

92
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: a very bad person. He served as a Director of

93
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: European Affairs for the US National Security Council until February

94
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty. He rose to national prominence in October

95
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen when he testified before Congress as part of

96
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: the Trump Ukraine investigation, and his testimony would play a

97
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: pivotal role in supposedly providing evidence of an alleged abuse

98
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: of power by President Trump, and it would form the

99
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: foundation of the first impeachment of President Trump. Remember they

100
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: impeached him again. As he was walking out the door.

101
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: So this guy of Ukrainian descent said, you know, my

102
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: job is to deal with Ukraine on behalf of the

103
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: United States. And Trump did a bad thing with Ukraine.

104
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: But Trump did which very few people understood, was Trump

105
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: asked the Ukrainian leader, hey did did Biden asked your

106
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: government to pay his son millions through Barisma so he

107
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: could kick it back to him.

108
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Well, you're not allowed to ask that.

109
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: That's a horrible thing. Why aren't you allowed to ask that?

110
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: That's exactly what are the United States president should be asking.

111
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: And in fact, we now know, that's one of the

112
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: things the Ukrainian bribe payments through unter Biden to his father.

113
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: That's one of the things that he pardoned him of,

114
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: so he wouldn't be charged. So Alexander Vinman, who helped

115
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: make all this happen, he's part of the deep state,

116
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: He's part of the problem. He was on MSNBC. Well,

117
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: he's still backpeddaling, and he said Donald Trump and Elon

118
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: Musk are useful idiots for Putin. You know, you've got

119
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: people in this country who have been sending money to Ukraine,

120
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: some of which gets kicked back in bribes. When you

121
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: look at how many American families are, in one way

122
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: or another, prominent powerful American families involved with Ukraine, just

123
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: as with Haiti, it becomes very disturbing and you start

124
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: realizing quite quickly that all the justifications for US to

125
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: send so many billion dollars Ukraine are not because Russia

126
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 2: is coming.

127
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: To get you. It's because it's kickback money.

128
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: It's because it's being spent for the overlords who were

129
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: sending the materials there.

130
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: There is so much dirty business going on.

131
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Most Americans don't know the difference between Ukraine and Russia,

132
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: or that Ukrainian was part of Russia, or how it

133
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: came about that Russia's puppet that they had in Ukraine

134
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: there was kicked out, or that Zelenski won't hold elections

135
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: and he's actually serving now without being elected to the

136
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: time he's serving at present. Americans don't know this, and

137
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: the media has done the job of the Ukrainian American

138
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: insider coalition. This is dirty, dirty business, very very dirty business.

139
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, I just want you to

140
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: see the kind of things they're going to claim. So

141
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: here's Alexander Vinman back in the news on MSNBC with

142
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: its terrible ratings that are below the Hallmark channel. Here's

143
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: Alexander Vinman claiming, you know, Trump and Musk, they don't

144
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: even realize it, but Putin's controlling them.

145
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: Clearly, Putin has a type he likes narcissists and egomaniacs

146
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 5: that he knows as a case officer he could easily

147
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: patter to and manipulate to do his dirty work.

148
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: We are under attack.

149
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,359
Speaker 5: Russia has been using different levers, whether that's corruption networks

150
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 5: in this case, it's influencers like Donald Trump, like Elon

151
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 5: Musk to really kind of so discord.

152
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,479
Speaker 1: And it's particularly troubling.

153
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: With Elon Musk in this case because Elon Musk has

154
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: access to state secrets, he has top secret security clearance.

155
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 5: It's possible that some of that is seeping through. Putin

156
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 5: has been very effective in playing both Trump and Elon,

157
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: and he's been using the richest man in the world

158
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 5: to do his bidding. In some cases that's encouraging him,

159
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: probably to support Donald Trumps.

160
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: That's not speculation.

161
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 5: We see how far in Elon is gone and then

162
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: using Twitter as a disinformation platform. So this is not

163
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: some sort of far off, distant threat. This is a

164
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 5: it's going to impact our elections.

165
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: It's a national security threat.

166
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: You talked about Putin's type, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump,

167
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: SayMore because it also includes Tucker Carlson, who has a

168
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 6: bizarre fetish with daddy spanking a little girl, something he

169
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: said in public from a podium this week, and JD Vance,

170
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 6: who has a bizarre belief in worldview that women should

171
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 6: stay in violent marriages. Talk about why these men just

172
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: tap it, maybe coincidentally to also parrot Putin's talking points

173
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 6: when it comes to the war in Ukraine.

174
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 5: Well, it's not really coincidental. I mean, we're talking about

175
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: a very practiced our KGB case officer. He served through

176
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: the rank of lieutenant colonel as a case officer, and

177
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: in that capacity, he was trained to suss out the vulnerabilities,

178
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: the weaknesses, the ways to engage his target, his agents,

179
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: and he's using Trump and Elon as his agents. And

180
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 5: in this case, he's just using their own egos, their

181
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: own vanities. The fact that you know, by engaging with Putin,

182
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: they're feeding their egos to manipulate them and message them.

183
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 5: These guys are not particularly skilled, they're not practitioners in

184
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 5: a national security and statecraft. So his warnings that somehow

185
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 5: this is going to trigger a nuclear war are the

186
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: same things that you hear both Trump and Elon and

187
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 5: Tucker Carlson Parrot. So he's just effectively manipulating him and

188
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: using him as usually, Joe.

189
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Don't use that tone to me, not a Joe.

190
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 7: That's sarcastic, contemptuous tone that means you know everything because

191
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 7: you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman.

192
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: That is not a joke, that is a natural fact.

193
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: The Michael Very Show. Let's go back to nineteen ninety four.

194
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: You may have seen this before, but it is the

195
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: Today Show and at the time, Katie Curic was hosting.

196
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: With Bryant Dumble.

197
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: And the issue of email came up and they're trying

198
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: to explain what an email is. Now today this is laughable,

199
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: but in nineteen ninety four this was like cutting edge

200
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: stuff in the ring around it.

201
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: At that's what I said. Case said she thought it

202
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: was about Yeah, but I've never heard around. I've never

203
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: heard of Mark but never said And.

204
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 5: Then it sounded stupid when I said it violence at.

205
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 8: NBC around about there.

206
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: It is violence at NBC g E com.

207
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what Allison should know? What you anyway?

208
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 8: Internet is that massive computer network, the one that's becoming

209
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 8: really big.

210
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: Now, what do you mean that's big?

211
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 9: Way?

212
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: How does one? What do you write it? Like mail?

213
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 8: No, a lot of people use it and communicate. I

214
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 8: guess they can communicate with NBC writers and producers. Allison,

215
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 8: can you explain what Internet is?

216
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 5: No?

217
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: She can't say anything. In ten seconds or life, Alison

218
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: will be in the studio shortly.

219
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: What does it mean?

220
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: It's a giant computer network made up made up.

221
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: Of started from Oh, I thought your tell us what

222
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: this was billboards.

223
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 10: It's not it's it's it's a computer billboard business one,

224
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 10: it's it's several universities and everything all join together.

225
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: And others can access it.

226
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 8: And he really handy during the quake. A lot of people,

227
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 8: that's how they were communicating out to tell family and lovedlins.

228
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 8: They were okay because all the phone lines were down.

229
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 8: I'm you don't need you don't need that. You don't

230
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 8: need a phone line to operating.

231
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 7: Now now.

232
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: It's fascinating to think they had no clue what that was.

233
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: And today that's my primary means of communication. I email

234
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: listeners email me through our website, Michael Berryshow dot com.

235
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I read everyone over one thousand a day. I read fast.

236
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: I read and delete, read and delete, reading, delete, I

237
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: have to, and some of them I respond. If somebody says, hey,

238
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: who's your show sponsor?

239
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Who does this? Who's your show sponsor? Who does this?

240
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: I get folks in particular markets.

241
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: Who will say, hey, I can't sponsor your national show,

242
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: but i'd like to be your car dealer in Los Angeles,

243
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: or I'd like to be your roofing company in Los Angeles.

244
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: Or wherever, in whatever market.

245
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: And I take that I respond and I copy my

246
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: sales director in that market and we try to work

247
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: it out. It's fascinating to think how fast change is

248
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: happening in my lifetime, because that's thirty years ago that

249
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: that occurred. And in those thirty years, email is you know,

250
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: you call mail that comes through the postal service, snail

251
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: mail email for many people. Now you got all these

252
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: different slack and all these different ways people communicate faster.

253
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: It's interesting. It's very interesting. But I maintain and some

254
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: of you won't agree with me, that in this era

255
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: of vast technology and how it has intruded into our lives,

256
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: the ability to communicate face to face, spoken word, old

257
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: fashion is more important than it's ever been. AI can

258
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: replace all this grammarly can replace.

259
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: People don't need to learn to spell anything anymore.

260
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: They don't need any but your ability to communicate what

261
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: I do all day, every day, it's what salesmen do,

262
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: it's what leaders do.

263
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: These things are because it.

264
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Has gotten to be rarer and rarer, because as technology

265
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: has become.

266
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: More important, fewer and fewer people are.

267
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: Learning the art and science of direct communication one on one.

268
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: The ability to communicate, to persuade, to tell stories to

269
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: inform I believe and I do this with my kids.

270
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: We storytell at dinner. At the dinner table, how was

271
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: your day? Tell me the story, paint a picture, make

272
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: it interesting. You don't have to be a master communicator

273
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: to give your children practice at that. You know how

274
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: many dads can teach their kid, can get their kid

275
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: better at hitting a baseball when the dad can't properly pitch,

276
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: do underhand pitch.

277
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Set up the set up the tea A lot of coaches.

278
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: Lance Berkman one of the best baseball hitters of all time.

279
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: We'll tell you he is a big believer in hitting

280
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: a baseball off fatigue. People think he's crazy, print that's

281
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 2: how he got his swing back. You can teach your

282
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: kids to communicate simply by encouraging them to communicate. You

283
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: can be a good audience member, even if you yourself

284
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: are not.

285
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: A great community.

286
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: The takeover of America's healthcare system by the Democrats as

287
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: part of Obamacare has been an unmitigated disaster. Disaster Jonathan

288
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: Gruber was the architect of Obamacare. He's an mit economist,

289
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: and he has talked openly about relying on Americans dumb

290
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: American voters. He said this to get Obamacare passed. I

291
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: want you to listen to what he says, and let's

292
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: talk about how we end up in a situation where

293
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: Obamacare passed.

294
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Congress. It's just you can't do it politically. You just

295
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: literally cannot do it.

296
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 10: Okay, Transparent financing, and let's have transparent financing.

297
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: Hell's transparent spending.

298
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 10: I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way

299
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 10: to make sure CBO did not score the mandate is taxes.

300
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: If CBO scored the manda's taxes, the bill dies. Okay.

301
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 10: So it was written to do that in terms of

302
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 10: in terms of ristrated subsidies. If you get a law

303
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 10: which said healthy people are going to pay in it

304
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 10: made explicit the healthy old pay and see people get money,

305
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 10: it would not have passed, Okay, just like the people

306
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 10: transparent lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.

307
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: And basically, you.

308
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 10: Know, called the stupidity the American voter or whatever, but

309
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 10: basically that was really really critical to get into thing

310
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 10: to pass.

311
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: And you know it's the second best argument. Look, I

312
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: wish Mark was right.

313
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 10: We could make it all transparent, but I'd rather have

314
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 10: this law than not so it's kind of like his

315
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 10: reporter story. You know, yeah, there's things I wish you

316
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 10: could change, but I'd rather have this.

317
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: Law than So.

318
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 11: First of all, you haven't publicly commented on this so far.

319
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: Do you stand by the comments in that video?

320
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 11: The common the video were made at an academic conference.

321
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 11: I was speeding off, speaking off the cuff, and.

322
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 12: Hero John Ferry were more likely SASS came up with

323
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 12: a great susted idea. They said, looks want to do,

324
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 12: is you want to say that for people who send

325
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 12: the top insurance plans, they will all long get a

326
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 12: forty percent tax?

327
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 8: Right?

328
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: What are the insais just tax?

329
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 12: I sure somebody can sell.

330
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: These terrible ascents and pat plans. Well, so well, that

331
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: pretty much the same things.

332
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 12: Why the patterns that you'll see And they're both in ass.

333
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Understanding.

334
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 11: So basically, and so I was speeding off, speaking off

335
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 11: the cuff, and until the.

336
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 10: Second messages here arose John Kerry and John Kerry said no, no, no,

337
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 10: we're going to tax your health insurance. We're going to

338
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 10: tax those evil insurance companies. We're going to impose a taxes.

339
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 11: They say, health insurance it's too expensive.

340
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 10: We're going to tax them, and conveniently, the tax rate

341
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 10: will happen to be the marginal tax rate under the

342
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 10: tax code.

343
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: So basically it's the same thing.

344
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 10: We just tax the insurance companies. They pass it on

345
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 10: higher prices that offsets the tax break we get. It

346
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 10: ends up being the same thing. It's a very clever,

347
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 10: you know, basic exploitation of the of the of the

348
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 10: lack of economic understand the American voter.

349
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 11: Okay, friends, hollis beating off, speaking off the cuff.

350
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Two things about this.

351
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: Number one, they said, do you stand by this statement

352
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: that the American voters were stupid and you counted on

353
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: them being stupid so that you could dupe them into

354
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: believing that the government should take over healthcare because it

355
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: would better for them. You've said that, do you still

356
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: believe that? And he said, well, first of all, I

357
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: was at an academic conference. Wait a second, So you're

358
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: saying that that's how academics talk about the American people.

359
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: And of course the answer is yes, that's exactly how

360
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: they talk about you. That's how they talk about you

361
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 2: to each other, and that's how they talk about you

362
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: to your children who you've sent to the university. See,

363
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: and there's the great crime. American workers struggle, scrimp and

364
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: save so that their children can go to the university.

365
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: They can be an educated man or woman. This great

366
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: finishing school. They will go to the academy and when

367
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: they graduate, there will be riches a plenty. Riches I

368
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 2: didn't have because I was working the soil. Riches I

369
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 2: didn't have because I went to serve my country and

370
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: came home and worked at the plant, worked in the

371
00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: shipbuilding plant, worked at the chemical plant, worked the soil.

372
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: See.

373
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: I didn't have that opportunity of parents say, but my child,

374
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: I will sacrifice. I will do without. I will take

375
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: of my earnings and I will put those aside, and

376
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: for eighteen years from the time my child is born,

377
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: I will save that money so that in four years

378
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: they can squander it at the university because it will

379
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: be worth it, because we're all willing to sacrifice so

380
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: our children.

381
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Will have a better life.

382
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: And I don't know what they do in that university,

383
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: but they make you smart.

384
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: You're smart when you come out of there.

385
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: And little do you know that you're sending them to

386
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: a governmental institution that is a re education camp to

387
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: tell them that their parents are stupid. And trust me,

388
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: that's what they do. The second thing is how did

389
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: he know he could rely on the American people being stupid?

390
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: Because the American people are a very good people, but

391
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: be very naive. They don't believe that professors and politicians

392
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: in the media will lie to them. And that brings

393
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: us to our newest scam. After the government took over

394
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: your healthcare, the next plan was to take over manufacturing

395
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: and your personal consumption habits a global warming which we

396
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: had to change to.

397
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Climate change.

398
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: Climate change is how they will take control of your life,

399
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: your company, your dollars, and they will decide what you

400
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: can do and when you can do it. The latest

401
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: climate change scare from the BBC relies just like Jonathan

402
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: Gruber Obamacare, on you being stupid. Here is a BBC

403
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: report Are you ready for this? Claiming that forests are

404
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: losing their ability to soak up carbon.

405
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: You know the very idea, the very idea.

406
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: That this earth, which is so grand, so vast, so powerful,

407
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: we are but a pimple on its butt. We are

408
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 2: not controlling this planet. It'll be here long after we're gone.

409
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, here's a story to scare you.

410
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 7: Global efforts to tackle climate change are wildly off track,

411
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 7: says the UN, as new data shows that warming gases

412
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 7: are accumulating faster than at any time in human existence.

413
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 7: Researchers are also worried that forests are losing their ability

414
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 7: to soak up carbon, which could be contributing to record

415
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 7: levels of warming gas in the atmosphere, with more than

416
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 7: a third of tree speech whuse facing extinction, Helen Briggs report.

417
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 13: Trees are vital to help clean the air we breathe,

418
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 13: soup carbon emissions, and provide a home for thousands of

419
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 13: different birds, mammals and insects.

420
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: Yet it's been.

421
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 13: Revealed that more than a third of trees around the

422
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 13: world are in trouble. Experts here at Q worked on

423
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 13: the latest extinction red List, which found deforestation is a

424
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 13: major threat to life on Earth.

425
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 9: Thirty eight percent of the world's trees are threatened with extinction,

426
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 9: more than all the threatened mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles

427
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 9: added together, So a huge number of species, and these

428
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 9: are found all across the world. In one hundred and

429
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 9: ninety two countries there is a threatened tree species.

430
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's work to do everywhere.

431
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 14: Extinction List and an ever growing tally of living things

432
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 14: facing extinction, with more than sixteen thousand tree species at risk,

433
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 14: like this in Willhelmy pine. And if you take away

434
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 14: the trees, you lose habitat for other living things, from

435
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 14: birds to mammals.

436
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Elviss have left for kid, Thank you and good night
