1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Arry Show is on the air.

3
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke. I can feel it good

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: when coming on. It's the Michael Berry Show.

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: Up.

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: It's working hard to straddle the fence. She used to

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: claim she was a Republican between Orange Man bad and

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: not openly gaslighting the few viewers that CNN has left.

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: I almost feel sorry for her here. Yeah, I think

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: a few things can be true.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: One is that I think he's using this issue to

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 4: distract some other things, but doesn't mean it's a bad

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: political strategy. I think it's a very good one, and

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: the numbers can be what they are.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: But also people don't feel that way.

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 4: And when it comes to two things, crime in the economy,

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: feelings don't really care about your fact. And I can't

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: tell you how profoundly stupid it is for Democrats to

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: get up with the facts and their figures and their

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: charts and the graphs and say, look, you're safe.

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: Can't you read this chart? Idiots? Why are you complaining?

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm showing you.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: Right here how safe you are, So shut up and

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: move along. I don't have to tell you how profoundly stupid.

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: That is because voters told you how profoundly stupid that

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: was in twenty twenty four, when Democrats said, see these

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: economic numbers.

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: Economy is great. What are you complaining about.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 4: See these crime numbers. Crimes down, You're safe. See these

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: immigration numbers. Obama deported way more. There's no migrant crisis.

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: I can't tell you enough that politics is perception and

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: the numbers can be right, but you never tell voters

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: they're wrong about how they feel.

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of Mega Brazinski and being Joe Scarborough's mistress, Joe

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: Scarborough took a different path than se Cup. See they're

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: really focused. They're trying to get the narrative back. They're scared,

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: they're losing their people. They're taking on. There's a hole

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: in this ship. Joe Scarborough went with the I received

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: this text line as a way to admit the crime

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: in DC is out of hand. Remember this is the

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: same Joe Scarborough that said I'm going to say something

42
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: and I don't care who likes it or not. I've

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: known Joe Biden for fifty years and this is the

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: best Joe Biden. Two days later, they smothered the old

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: man because he's about dead, and there's a palace coup

46
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: and he's looking like a fool out of that. Anyway,

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: here's old Morning Joe.

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 5: I want to read you at texts from a someone

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 5: who I won't say their name, but we'll just.

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: Say they're very liberal.

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 5: And he says, this may sound controversial, but I'm not

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: totally opposed to Trump's National Guard move in DC.

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: I know he's doing it.

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: For politics, but crime remains rampant. I've had too many

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 5: friends carjacked, shot at none of I will walk more

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: than three blocks.

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: After eight pm.

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 5: Thirteen year olds are committing many of these crimes. Quite

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 5: a change from the decade ago when things were much calmer.

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, that actually sounds.

61
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: Like the DC that I lived in, when I lived

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: a block behind the Supreme Court and you know, every

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: three days one of my neighbors was getting held up

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 5: at gunpoint. I mean, there has been a crime problem

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: in DC. At the same time, obviously a lot of concerns.

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Will will this look like? June of twenty twenty and

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: then Joe Morning Joe had former Capitol Police Chief Tom

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: Manger on to give his thoughts on President Trump bringing

69
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: in the FEDS to fight crime in DC. I don't

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: think Joe's mistress Mika expected this answer. This sounds like

71
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: sounds pretty darm pro Trump to.

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: Me, what's your sense of how this will work?

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: Well?

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 7: Tell you after listening to the press conference yesterday, I.

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: Feel much better this morning.

76
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 7: Just in the last twenty four hours, Chief Pam Smith

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 7: of the Metro Problem Police Department has spoken with Terry Cole,

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 7: the interim Commissioner for the Metro Problem Police Department.

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: At least for the next thirty days. They have spoken.

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 7: Mister Cole has told Chief Smith that we would like

81
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 7: MPD to lead this effort. He wants this to be

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 7: a collaboration, and frankly, that's the only way I see

83
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 7: this as being successful.

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: As you know, as a former police chief, if somebody.

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 7: Would have come to me and said, hey, we're going

86
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 7: to bring five hundred thousand more law enforcement officers in

87
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 7: to assist you, what's not to like about that? You

88
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 7: could certainly make an impact on crime with that kind

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 7: of surge. This is going to be a temporary thing,

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 7: make no mistake about that. This is not something that

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 7: can be sustained over a long period of time.

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: So I'm very particulate.

93
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm very encouraged that Chief Smith and mister Cole

94
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 7: have talked about this being a collaboration and that MPD

95
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 7: is going to to basically lead the decisions on how

96
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 7: these resources are deployed.

97
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: To her credit, and I'm gonna give credit where it's due,

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: it's woman at CNN. They're they're so desperate. I mean,

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: they're so they don't know what to do. Over there,

100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: cn n's Casey Hunt read headlines of juvenile crime to

101
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: Democrat district attorney. Yeah, district attorney. Well, they call them

102
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: the DC attorney general. I know they had an attorney

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: general in d C. What whatever, Brian Schwab or Schwab,

104
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, Brian something. I've never heard of this

105
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: guy's job title, and I've never heard of him. But

106
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: to her credit, seeing it, Casey Hunt sounds more like

107
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: Fox News here.

108
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 8: So let's talk about DC residents for a second, because

109
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 8: these headlines, you know, and I was a resident of

110
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 8: DC for over twenty years. I've lived in all but

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 8: three DC wards. Okay, these headlines are different from when

112
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 8: I first came to the city. Thirteen year old girl

113
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 8: thirteen sentenced to seven years for twenty twenty three beating

114
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 8: death of a DC man teen sentenced and killing of

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 8: lift driver who came to US seeking safety. This was

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 8: a guy who was a US military interpreter who was

117
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 8: shot and killed in an attempted carjacking, again by a

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 8: sixteen year old. Now juveniles fall under you, and the

119
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 8: DC Attorney General Jeanine Piro or a DC attorney Jannine

120
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 8: Piro has focused in on this inability that she says

121
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 8: she has to prosecute juveniles. The law allows people up

122
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 8: to the age of twenty four years old to potentially

123
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 8: have more lenient sentences from judges.

124
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 9: Is that HPV HIV spooky VAGINOSI sinning with your nick

125
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 9: bod is evil and atrocious.

126
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: This next story, I gotta tell you, first of all,

127
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: I feel sorry for a woman whose husband was killed

128
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: when a drunk driver crashed into him. Let me start there.

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: I feel for her pain. She didn't ask for that,

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: all right, now we got there. They'd been married for

131
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: fifty years, okay, and this dude is so drunk he

132
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: can't he is way passed impairment. He got he's so

133
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: drunk he kills her husband. He gets a twenty year

134
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: prison time prison sentence for killing. This is this is

135
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: manslaughter at this point, homicide by vehicle d UI, reckless driving,

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: driving like a maniac. By the way, this was an

137
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: accident in fall asleep. He deserves to be hanged, but okay,

138
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: they give him a twenty year prison sentence. However, they

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: will suspend the sentence if he completes a two year

140
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: inpatient rehab program. I'll play this story. It's clip number

141
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: twenty three WSBTV from the wife of Tuck Johnson.

142
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 10: The victim, Regina Johnson says she hugged Joseph Tillman, the

143
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 10: young man who played guilty to the crime, because God

144
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 10: told her he needed a mom hug, and in the

145
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 10: embrace she whispered, she forgives him and God loves him

146
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 10: more than he knows.

147
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: She says. He whispered back, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

148
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: Joey doesn't know yet how much God loves him.

149
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 10: Join these healing of things in his past, as we

150
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 10: all do.

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: That is our heart and career.

152
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 10: Mims Johnson says, for fifty years of marriage, she watched

153
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 10: her husband, a successful businessman, live his Christian faith through

154
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 10: playing his guitar and leave worship based prison ministry, mentoring,

155
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 10: and more and he was seventy eight when a car

156
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 10: with Tillman at the wheel hit him as he rode

157
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 10: his electric bike in the tal Lay Community.

158
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,960

Speaker 13: You never again get up the power of accountability for

177
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 13: yourself and your actions.

178
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: I've committed to all over of making emends.

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 14: I've ever read an embraced sobriety, and began the hard

180
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 14: public work of healing.

181
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: I know I did not deserve a peace when I've

182
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: caused so much pain. If something has always bothered me

183
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: about the way judges sentence people for drunk driving. First

184
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 2: of all, let's say you never drank in your life,

185
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: and the very first time Dug stan Hope tells a

186
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: joke about this, But the very first time you drink,

187
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: you drink too much because you don't know your limits

188
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: and you don't know how dangerous it could be to

189
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: get in behind the wheel because you've never been drunk before.

190
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: And let's say you're fifty years old. The first time

191
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 2: you drank, you get yourself really drunk, and you go

192
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: get into a car, you crash and kill somebody. The

193
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 2: judges want to send you to a drug addiction alcohol

194
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: addiction program, but actually you don't have an alcohol addiction program.

195
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: You were impaired terribly and somebody died as a result

196
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: of it. But they just throw this in there. It

197
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: becomes kind of a throwdown thing. They do, Oh, okay,

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: well this happened, so we'll send you to this program.

199
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: You might not be an habitual drinker, you might have

200
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: just made a really stupid mistake, but we'll just go

201
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: ahead and make part of your punishment that you cannot

202
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: have an addiction. Because here is my problem with all

203
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: of that. There are people who drink too much and

204
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: never drive. When I say too much, they drink a lot,

205
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: They drink to excess, they drink to impairment, and they go.

206
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: But one thing I won't do is I won't get

207
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: behind the wheel, so they stay home. Well, you're saying

208
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: to that guy, if something happens, you can't drink at

209
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: home by yourself. Why do we care if this guy

210
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: sits in his living room every day and drinks till

211
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: he passes out. We don't, But nobody thinks through this nonsense.

212
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: I realized this isn't the most principled position I have

213
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: of all the positions I have. I do realize that,

214
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: but it's something that I care about, and therefore I'm

215
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: sharing with you. A US postal worker admitted to stealing

216

Speaker 2: a woman. This is one of these ladies that dresses

223
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,840

224

Speaker 2: the big baggy pants and kind of sagging down. She

225
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,440

00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: even know this was a girl, I swear when I

227
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: started the story, and knows a girl. Mary and Magdammitt.

249
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 13: Mail theft a nationwide problem. Vigilantes were recently seen tackling

250
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 13: another suspected mail thief in La now under arrest.

251
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: You like to seal mail? You like to steal mail.

252
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 13: One growing concern an increase in checks stolen from mail

00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: It was never an issue growing up, as a kid

257
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: like never even thought about it. It's interesting, it's a

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: little scary.

259
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 13: Authorities now urging people to hand deliver their mail inside

260
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 13: the post office to guard against crime, but internal mail

261
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 13: theft inside the postal service surged after the pandemic, with

262
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 13: cases up forty seven percent. One official recently quoted saying

263
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 13: criminal organizations are recruiting people to get a job in

264
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 13: the postal Service so they can rob mail and drain

265
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 13: bank accounts. A government report last year found the Postal

266
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 13: Service not doing enough to prevent cot.

267
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: You got the Michael Berry Show. I'm not sure why

268
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: anybody would take any type of nutritional or health advice.

269
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: By the way, this is Chad's prep clip number sixteen,

270
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: CBS News Chicago. Why would anybody take any type of

271
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: nutritional or health advice from Bill Gates? And yet here

272
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: we are the media hyping Bill Gates as the new

273
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: or Bill Gates hyping Bill Gates's new fake butter? What's

274
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: it made from? You may ask, Oh, this isn't the

275
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: country crop you remember? Country car? Do you have country crop?

276
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: Good morning?

277
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 15: Thanks in Ben, Yeah, orange juice, blueberry muffins and shed spread,

278
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 15: country crock, country card.

279
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: Huh Okay, what's the cat? I just thought you enjoyed

280
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: that rich buttery taste.

281
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 15: Hmmm, I can't refuse one taste of country crock?

282
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,239
Speaker 2: Is she much like butter.

283
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 15: Red country croc? Fewer calories than regular my drin and

284
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 15: no cholesterol. Enjoy the rich buttery taste of country croc?

285
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 15: Cangs too delicious? Fact, that's sure. Now come on, what

286
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 15: do you want me?

287
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: There's another muffin with country croc. Really, country croc was

288
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: was was a big thing in our household. And one

289
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: of the things that was most beloved about country croc

290
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: was that then you could use the container forever. So

291
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: if there was a country croc, which is a butter substitute,

292
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: I guess substitute, and it was in the in the fridge,

293
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: you didn't just pop it open. You didn't put it

294
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: next to your chest to hold onto it, to pop

295
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: it open and think, oh, I got to get some butter.

296
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: You'd put that, you'd you'd push it away from you

297
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: a little and stand back open it because it might

298
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: be it could be beans that had been on the

299
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: pot all day, that had been that had been put

300
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: in there. And you know, beans are one of those

301
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: things that when they've been in the French for lo while.

302
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: They get that little gelatinous and they get a little

303
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: crisco looking thing on the top. But it might it

304
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: was probably more likely not country croc inside there. By

305
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: the time you got to it, it was being used

306
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: as a receptacle, receptacle or or something else. You know.

307
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: Before we play this, I gotta tell you there was this.

308
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: You know these fake products. Oh, it's made from carbon, Yeah,

309
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: Ramon said, I didn't tell you it's made from carbon.

310
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: Sounds delightful, doesn't. It reminds me of a product called Alestra.

311
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: A Lestra was supposed to be a game changer because

312
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: it would separate the fat out like a little filter, Like, uh,

313
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: the fat goes over here and the rest of the

314
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: food goes down your belly and you'll enjoy it and

315
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: you won't absorb the fat and you won't be fat,

316
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: but you'll be able to eat ride foods, you know,

317
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: Pringles and Cheetos and Pritos. Oh. Lestra is going to

318
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: save your life. It's gonna make it. Oh, it's be great.

319
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 2: Except the guy who founded the company sent a bunch

320
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: of free product to our offices, so that we talk

321
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: about it on the air. Well, I'm not going to

322
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: be the guinea pig or anything. So the sales assistants,

323
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: who were all women, everybody has twenty pounds they want

324
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: to lose. Right, that's just the way it is. You

325
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: get to be thirty forty years of everybody's got twenty

326
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: pounds they want to lose. So the girls were like, oh,

327
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: this is awesome. We got this free drug and it's

328
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: over the counter, and we can eat fried foods and

329
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: we won't absorb the fried foods and it'll be great.

330
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: But nobody gave any thought to if you don't absorb

331
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: the oils from the food, where do you think they go?

332
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: They don't just turn into vapor. So what ended up

333
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: happening was what they called bowel leakage. So true story,

334
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: sales assistance would be in the office. They don't mind

335
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: me telling us. We've laughed about this over the years.

336
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: So if you were wearing white pants on any given day,

337
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: white pants will have brown spots because you would literally

338
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: poop your pants. Now, don't send me an email and say, Michael,

339
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm eating That's not my fault. That's not my fault.

340
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: This is important stuff. We got to talk about with

341
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Bill Gates is pushing a food product. That's how you

342
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: know you need this dear clear of it.

343
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 16: It looks, smells, and tastes like the butter we're all

344
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 16: familiar with bothout the farmland, fertilizers or emissions tied to

345
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 16: that typical process, and this butter breakthrough. It's happening right

346
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 16: here in Batavia, in the middle of an industrial park

347
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 16: in a suburb west of Chicago.

348
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: Something unprecedented is happening.

349
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 14: So you're using this gas right now to like cook

350
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 14: your food, and we're proposing that we would like to

351
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 14: first make your food.

352
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: With that gas.

353
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 16: The company is called Savior, and you better believe it.

354
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: They're pioneering tech.

355
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 16: Uses carbon and hydrogen to make the stick of butter

356
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 16: you see on this plate.

357
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: This is pretty novel to be able to make food

358
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: that looks and tastes and feels exactly like dairy butter,

359
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: but with no agriculture whatsoever.

360
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 16: And no long ingredient list the average person can't pronounce.

361
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 3: It's really just our fat, some water, a little bit

362
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 3: of less than as an emulsifier, and some natural flavor

363
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: and color.

364
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 16: How fats are made up of carbon and hydrogen chains.

365
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 16: The goal here replicate those chains without animals or plants.

366
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 16: And they did it. They tell me to simplify. They

367
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 16: take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water,

368
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 16: heat them up, and oxidize them.

369
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: The final result.

370
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: It looks like a wax, like a candle wax at first,

371
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: but they're fat molecules like the ones in beef, cheese

372
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: or vegetable oils.

373
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 14: Sustainability is why we are here.

374
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 16: It's all done releasing zero greenhouse gases using no farmland

375
00:20:59,440 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 16: to feed.

376
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 14: We're like not at full capacity in this facility.

377
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 16: Yet, and even though we're standing in a factory setting,

378
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 16: and in addition to the carbon.

379
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 14: Footprint being much lower for a process like this, right,

380
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 14: the land footprint is like a thousand times lower than

381
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 14: what you need in traditional agriculture.

382
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: Wondering what Nancy Pelosi has been up to, They didn't.

383
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean Nancy's still around. She now says that sex

384
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: changes for transgender for transgender children is something she's working

385
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: for at the national level. You know, it's going to

386
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: be a whole lot easier to win elections if the

387
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: Democrats will continue to do really really stupid things. So

388
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am

389
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: to hear that Nancy Pelosi's focus is on doing something

390
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: that ninety five percent of Americans are opposed to. See.

391
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: What we don't want them doing is things that might

392
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: be popular. But as long as she is trying to

393
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: make sure that all the little boys get their wieners

394
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: cut off before they're old enough to know what they're doing,

395
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: and that she's going to put every bit of effort

396
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: she has into doing that. Oh, we're going to be

397
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 2: in a We're going to be in good shape. That's

398
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. Oh yeah, sorry, it's uh yeah,

399
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: the uh. This is her saying that you want to

400
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: hear it in her own words. This is a clip

401
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: number seventeen from Chad's prep.

402
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: How's your office respondings of pauses and gender coming here

403
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: here in California?

404
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 6: Well, that is something I'm working for at the national level,

405
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: and we have, I said, are hoping that we can

406
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 6: have gender for me here, for our for our trans kids,

407
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 6: and that it's a sad thing for us. I'm not

408
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 6: totally I don't know what. I don't know what effect

409
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: we can have nationally with what we have going on

410
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: in the White House and in the Congress. It's really

411
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 6: very sad. If you were there outside our door. We

412
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: have a trans flag outside of our door in the

413
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: office Congressional Office building, we have the trans flag as

414
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 6: to some of our other colleagues. But that view is

415
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 6: not necessarily shared. People on the other side of the

416
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: aisle at.

417
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: First have been destroying the black community. Is to dismantle

418
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: the black family.

419
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 17: Why don't we ask missus Willie Brown, if Karmala Harris

420
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 17: cares about black families?

421
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 2: Lot, did you ever watch What's Happening? That was a

422
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: good show. That program. You know what's amazing because I

423
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: was born in sath so you work out where I

424
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: would have been at different points in my life compared

425
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: to where you are. But most of what I watched

426
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 2: I watched in syndication.

427
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 15: You know.

428
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: I watched Green Acres, I watched Lee Majors as Heath Barkley,

429
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: I watched Gunsmoe, I watched Ponderoso. I've watched The Brady Bunch,

430
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: I watched I watched Leave It to Beaver. I watched

431
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: all this stuff that hadn't been filmed, most of it

432
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 2: in years. They just throw it back on TV. Beverly

433
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: HILLBILLI Is. I loved it. I thought it was fantastic. Anyway,

434
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: I meant to do this earlier. I can't remember what

435
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 2: day it was, But do you remember d On what's happening?

436
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: You remember her? She has passed away? And what's weird

437
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: about this? Is it fit? I thought to myself. You

438
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: know people are always older when they died and you

439
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: remember them being. And the reason is like if you

440
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: ever see an actress that you used to be really

441
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: attracted to. She was hot and he's seen, he go ough,

442
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: she looks terrible. What happened? And you don't realize you

443
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: haven't seen her in thirty years. She aged just like

444
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: you did, But in your mind she's still locked in

445
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 2: eighty two and now it's you know twenty seventeen, Well,

446
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: y're we know it was twenty twenty five. Anyway, So

447
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 2: she died and she's sixty. What's weird about that is

448
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: it feels like she should have been older than sixty.

449
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: Her death was announced by her co star Heywood Nelson.

450
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: You remember Heywood Nelson. It is that's rerun, isn't it. Yeah?

451
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: He wrote brilliance It comes into great many forms. We

452
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: all have them, and we have all have This family's

455
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: Doctor d Our, brilliant, loving, positive, pragmatic warrior without fail,

456
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: has finally found her release from the clutches of this

457
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: world and a body. We celebrate her and her contributions

458
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: as we regret to inform her departure and transition from

459
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: a long battle with cancer. We've lost a daughter, sister,

460
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: family member, What's Happening cast member, veterinarian, animal rights proponent

461

Speaker 2: She will be missed in this form and forever embraced.

463
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: I might not should have read that, because that got

464
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: way too political. She played d Thomas, the sassy younger

465
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: sister of the Thomas family, on What's Happening, the series,

466
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,919

Speaker 17: I came into the room, there were about five doctors

493
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 17: in there, so that scared the living daylights out of me,

494
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 17: and they told me that I had breast cancer.

495

00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 18: matter what the cards may have dealt her, no matter

503
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 18: what situation may have been, she continued to just fight

504
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 18: and to go forward.

505
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 12: It was that determination she shared in her memoir Through

506
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 12: the Fire.

507
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 18: And it's not that we become consumed by the fire,

508
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 18: but we go through the fire and we're made better.

509

Speaker 12: her work in the community to her work as a veterinarian.

511
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 18: For Richmond, it's going to be an impact of a

512
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 18: person who loved humanity and who loved creation, animals and

513
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 18: things of that nature.

514
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Does everybody have to be a person who just devoted

515
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: themselves to baking cake for the hungry? Why can't it

516
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: just be that we really liked this person? We highlight

517
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: she volunteered at the animal shelter. Uh, oh, okay, great?

518
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: Does that make her any better than my grandmother who

519
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: smoking three packs of cigarettes today, sitting and watching the

520
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: prices ride all day. No, it doesn't, It doesn't doesn't

521
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: make her any this desperate need to create this, this

522
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: mother Teresa personality for people. Uh she she did this,

523
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: and she gave a dude to court. She gave a

524
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: bum a quarter outside the liquor store one time, and

525
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: she volunteered the animal shelter? And uh and what else

526
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: did she? What else can we say she did? How

527
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: about we just really liked her? She was fun. She

528
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: made a really really good short red. She made dressing

529
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: at Thanksgiving that was fantastic, perfect amount of sage in it.

530
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: And she would do she could make ribs, not briskey.

531
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: A brisket with briskey was dry, but the ribs, her

532

Speaker 2: on a diaper with a pacifier and going to the

557
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840

558
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,600
