1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you have to call out people claiming to 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: be Republicans because they are more useful to the Democrats 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: than any Democrat could ever be, because they weasele and 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: slither their way through the Republican party apparatus, and they 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: work very hard using terms that appeal to you. They've 6 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: learned to do that. 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: You know, the. 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: Guy who hates his country but runs a convenience store 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: in New York and then nine to eleven happens the 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: next day. He's got a big flag behind him. You 11 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 1: fell in love with America overnight, did you? Or now 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: you're worried that people will be mad at you. There 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: are certain people who are attracted. We had this with 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the Tea Party. I remember twenty ten. The Deep I've 15 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. It was this organic, grassroots 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: effort of people who wanted change and said, oh, you know, 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: we have a title for this. We didn't call it. 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: And it meant different things to different people, to be sure, 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: but by and large, it meant a certain set of 20 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: core values, and there was the understanding that there were 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people in elected office who were not 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: representing that. And remember John McCain had been our nominee 23 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: and everybody knew something was wrong. I mean, we were 24 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: going to work to help McCain beat Obama, But helping 25 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: McCain beat Obama it feels like helping Andrew Cuomo beat 26 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Zora Mumdani. Even when we win, we lose. Nobody thought 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna help McCain because he's going to get the 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: country back on the right track. No, we're gonna help 29 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: McCain because Obama's bad. But McCain, when he gets there, 30 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: he understands the government is the problem. No, he's been 31 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: in it for decades. We're gonna help McCain beat Obama 32 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: because when we beat Obama with McCain, McCain will get 33 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: there and he'll he'll break up the old boy system 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: of self dealing in the Keating five. But he was one, 35 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: that's right, remember that scandal. So now, so now you've 36 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: got this this odd situation in New York where you've 37 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: got Andrew Cuomo, the guy who refused that the ships 38 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: to save people's lives in New York Harbor, the guy 39 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: who locked down the state, the guy who, along with 40 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: his brother Chris, thought they had the world by the tail, 41 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: The corrupt governor of New York who was the son 42 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: of a corrupt governor of New York. And by the way, 43 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: there was real talk of Andrew Cuomo being their presidential nominee, 44 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: and then he had a me too movement and he's done, 45 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: and so then he does his little time off, you know, 46 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: like Wiener. Wiener always comes back. And then he's back. 47 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: His brother driven out of CNN. Turns out they were 48 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: cutting a little side deals in violation of his CNN deal, 49 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and so now his brother's on another network, but still 50 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: with a little bit of influence, a little bit and 51 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: certainly not among Democrats, but among moderate Republicans. And so 52 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: now you've got Republicans thinking how bad is Mamdannie that 53 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: we have to support Andrew Cuomo. You got Curtis Sliwa 54 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: who's run for mayor practically every election for thirty years, 55 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: and you know, the question every day is is he 56 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: going to get out? Because if he gets out, Cuomo 57 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: can win. If he doesn't, Cuomo can't win. And so 58 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: you're racing toward the moment where Mamdani wins, and if 59 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Sleiwa doesn't get out, Mamdanni wins, there's no doubt. And 60 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: what does that tell you about New York. What does 61 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: that say about that state, about that that city. What 62 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: does it tell you that no matter what you expose 63 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: about Mamdani, the voters there are still voting for him. Well, 64 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. You could go to Karachi and say, hey, 65 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: your mayor is going to do this, this, and this, 66 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: and that mayor would still win. You could go to 67 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: certain places that you would consider very poorly run with 68 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: terrible values and tell the people that that's what's going 69 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: to happen, and they go, yeah, that's exactly what we 70 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: voted for. We expect that there's a combination of factors 71 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: that come together to create a fertile environment for this 72 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: sort of thing. And that's that's how you end up 73 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: with a Mamdani. And it's very easy, and in fact, 74 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: it's easier to simply say, you know what, let New 75 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: York burn. That's what they deserve. It's easy to say that, 76 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: I get it. But it's a more profound change than 77 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: I think folks. Some folks realize when you put Mamdani 78 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: in charge of the city of New York. If he's 79 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: ten percent as evil as I believe he is, he's 80 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: not just evil. He's young and ambitious. He's not just 81 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: going to get elected. He's like Barack Obama. He's going 82 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: to want to do the things that he has committed to, 83 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: and he's going to bring in a lot of goons 84 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: that are able to do that. And you'll see some 85 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: folks from the Obama administration who will come in with him, 86 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: some folks who are determined to topple this country, who 87 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: can talk real pretty at the Finance conference and then 88 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 1: go and sign the order to execute a thousand people. 89 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: These are ruthless, ruthless, but smart people. And they all 90 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: went to Harvard, and they all have excellent credentials, and 91 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: they all have a daddy who's a professor at Columbia 92 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: or Yale or Harvard, Stanford or Swarthmore or wherever else. 93 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, these these are the blue blood intellectuals of 94 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: the evil left, sort of like the Allende government in Chile. 95 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: You've seen this before, You've seen this type before. This 96 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: is like the group of people that swept in with 97 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Oh, we can't be a bad guy. At Harvard. 98 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: He's a constitutional law professor. His wife went to Princeton. 99 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, these are these are good people. Yeah, good credentials, 100 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, you just don't like them because they're black. 101 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: You don't like him because he's Muslim, owners you don't 102 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: like him. Lucky you The Michael Berry Show continues your 103 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 1: lucky days. Carlos, You're on the Michael Berry Show.

If we're gonna be talking 107 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: about evil and cunning people, we need to be talking 108 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: about Cidel Castro and all these other people that have 109 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: uh talking not just a town. Uh, they have taken 110 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: a country to a higher level of poverty and destruction. 111 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: And it's because they are all just like you were saying, 112 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 3: people that sweet talk masses. So that's just my two 113 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: cents on your talk. 114 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: Okay, But just so I understand when you say we 115 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: need to look at the bigger picture. How I was 116 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: talking about the mayoral candidate of New York. Uh tell 117 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: me what to add to that that I didn't manage 118 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: to cover. 119 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 3: Well, that is, I I got to the show a 120 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: little bit late when you were talking about the mayor 121 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: and then if he gets elected and uh, he started 122 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: swreak talking all the people. He will do just the 123 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: same thing that Michael were saying. We're gonna elect somebody 124 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: that is gonna sweet talk to you and then put 125 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: you behind bar and he's yes, yes, no. 126 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. Communists never come to power with promises 127 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: to do that which they eventually do, because they wouldn't 128 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: get elected. I'm going to lord over you in an 129 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: authoritarian way. If you disagree with me, even in thought, 130 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to execute you. I'm going to separate families. 131 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to execute the professional class that will include professors. 132 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to destroy the church because there can be 133 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: but only one church, and that is me the state. 134 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: You will not be allowed the private worship of your God. 135 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: You will not be allowed to move about freely to 136 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: avoid you beginning to gather and spread ideas and question 137 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: my authority. You will not be allowed to accumulate anything 138 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: beyond basic sustenance, because that means wealth, and that would 139 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: mean that even though you worked hard or smarter, you 140 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: would have more than someone else. And everyone must be 141 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: equally poor rather than unequally free, and that I cannot tolerate. 142 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: If they promised those things, and people still voted for 143 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: it to be one thing, but they promise something that 144 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: is very seductive, and mankind is weak. We know this 145 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: mankind is weak and given to certain things with seductive 146 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: powers over which he almost has no control. It's like 147 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: Odysseus returning home after the war and he knows the 148 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: nymphs will be calling for him, and so he has 149 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: himself tied down because he wants to come home to 150 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: his wife and he doesn't want to be distracted and 151 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: have to go to the mistresses. He understood before the 152 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: temptation presented itself that the temptation would be greater than 153 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: he could withstand, and so he has himself tied down 154 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: to prevent himself from engaging in something that he knew 155 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: was counterproductive to his long term goal, because he had 156 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: been gone for what was it, twenty five years and 157 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: he wanted to get home. I think that the seductive 158 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: powers of socialism alone are always attractive to people because 159 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: there will always be more people who want more than 160 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: they have than have more than they could live with 161 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: and could understand the difference. There will always be people who, 162 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: by choices they made, whether that's career choice, marital choice, 163 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: drug abuse, work ethic, don't have as much as they 164 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: would like to have, and they see someone else with it, 165 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: and so that jealousy builds. And it's a very natural 166 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: thing that jealousy builds, and the way to exact that jealousy. 167 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't think people really believe in most cases that 168 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: voting for this or that candidate is going to improve 169 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: their lot in life. But I do think they trust 170 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: that a Mamdani will knock down the other people. People 171 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: have a love hate relationship with wealth. They're obsessed with it. 172 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: They want to see more lifestyles of the rich and famous. 173 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: They will know what they drive, what they wear, what 174 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: they eat, where they eat, how they live, how they travel, 175 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: and they will try to mimic that. There is no 176 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: doubt that there was a several year imitation of the 177 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: Kardashians where girls all became little mini means of the Kardashians. 178 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: You see young women and through the use of makeup 179 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: and hair coloring and button hip implants and boob implants, 180 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: they all. My wife was telling me this weekend, and 181 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: this just blows my mouth. I said to her, we 182 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: were walking along the street and this woman was walking 183 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: past us, and I said, that's another one of those 184 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Kardashian clones. And she said, yeah, I said, she wouldn't 185 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: believe it. The makeups and all this is all designed 186 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: to give you that certain Kardashian look. And she said, 187 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you. There is a 188 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: trend now that girls want the big ass. She didn't 189 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: say ass, big butt. They want the big butt and 190 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: the very narrow waiste. And I said, well, that can't 191 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: be easy, and she said, oh no, you're not going 192 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: to believe this. They're doing surgeries where they remove the 193 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: bottom rib because the bottom rib is a place where 194 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: right if you want the shirt to lose its form, 195 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: you take the coat hanger out of there. So they 196 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: take that bottom rib out so that it collapses and 197 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: makes it artificially thinner. I said, sweetheart, men, the most 198 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: men will do for vanity is comb their hair. That's 199 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: like a big deal. But women, I say that gay 200 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Dave is going to send me a message say it's 201 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: not true. Gay men will go to great links to 202 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: remain good looking and present themselves the best, but a 203 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: straight dude won't. Absolutely not. It's good to be a dude, 204 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: because I see the trouble that women go to I mean, 205 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: we're bothered that we have to wait on them while 206 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: they do all these awful things to the selves, but 207 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: we still don't do all these old things for ourselves. 208 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: We have it so good that we are bothered that 209 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: we have to wait while they torture themselves without even 210 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: thinking about the fact that they're torturing themselves, every single 211 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: one of them. To your ears, this is the Michael 212 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: Berry Show. Scott writes, you're talking of academics and highly 213 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: educated left wing individuals. I saw this as the son 214 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: of a left wing PhD qualified professor. Left Wing academic 215 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: types think that because they were awarded a PhD after 216 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: writing a thesis about a very small niche topic, they 217 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 1: are experts on everything. They don't have the self awareness 218 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: to realize, maybe I don't know a thing about business, 219 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: so they vote Democrat. It reminds me of the old 220 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan line. The trouble with our liberal friends is 221 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: not that they are ignorant. It's just that they know 222 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: so much that isn't so. The trouble with our liberal 223 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: friends is not that they are ignorant. It's just that 224 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: they know so much that isn't so. So much of 225 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: what they quote. So much of what they believe to 226 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: be true it just isn't. 227 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: So. 228 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: There was a professor named Johnson, I can't remember his 229 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: first name. Gosh, I never thought this would happen. I 230 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: went about reading everything he wrote. This has been thirty 231 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: years ago. And he wrote a book called The Intellectuals, 232 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: and he picked ten left wing intellectuals whose personal lives 233 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: were at complete odds with everything they got rich writing 234 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: about it'd be the Bernie Sanders basically, and Rousseau was 235 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: an absolute monster, and Karl Marx was an absolute horrible 236 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: person who lived off of old, rich women who were 237 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: the children of capitalists. And here he was writing against capitalism. 238 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: It's just just amazing. Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson 239 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: says thousands of likely non citizens have been found on 240 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: the state's voter rolls. Harris County has the largest number, 241 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: with three hundred and sixty two. Nelson said a crosscheck 242 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: of state voter records found that more than twenty seven 243 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: hundred possible illegal aliens were registered on the voter rolls, 244 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: leading to an eligibility review across the two hundred and 245 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: fifty four counties. She said the data came from a 246 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: full comparison of texas eighteen million registered voters against federal 247 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: citizenship records in the US Citizenship and Immigration Services SAVED database. 248 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: She added that only eligible US citizens may participate in 249 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: our elections. The Trump administration's decision to give it's free 250 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: and direct access to this data set for the first 251 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: time has been a game changer, and we appreciate the 252 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: partnership with the federal government to verify the citizenship of 253 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: those on our voter rolls and maintain accurate voter lists. 254 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: Nelson said the review is part of an effort to 255 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: maintain an accurate voter list and to safeguard election integrity 256 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: ahead of the twenty twenty six election cycle. In other words, 257 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: let's protect Greg Abbott. See Greg Abbott, Secretary of State. 258 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: Didn't give a damn about election integrity when he wasn't 259 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: on the ballot, But now that he's there, they'd get 260 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: a twofer. One they wipe a few illegal alien voters 261 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: off the rolls and Democrats, and two they say to 262 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: the right wing, hey man, y'all keep saying we don't 263 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: do anything for election integrity. 264 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 2: Here. 265 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: We spent five minutes voted over here. Unbelievable. The never 266 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: ending story of the Turkey Leg Hut. Yes, Turkey Leg Hut. 267 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: Turkey Leg Hut was a spot in the Third Ward 268 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: where the hoy ploy of black entertainers, politicians, business owners, 269 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: college students would hang out and the food critics could 270 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: not write enough in the society critic Oh, my goodness, look, 271 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: this rapper was here, and this rapper was here.

So wait, 303 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: you're already in trouble with the law, so you go 304 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: beat your girlfriend with a tire iron. And kidnap her. Yeah, 305 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean uh hmm, okay, yeah, I guess. You know, 306 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: you notice around certain people there is a culture of criminality. 307 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: Every story related to the Turkey lug Hut. For the 308 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: last five years they had a business partner and then 309 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: he opened a place across the street, and then he 310 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: they didn't pay their bills. You know, in the restaurant 311 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: and bar business, you find out pretty quickly who's in 312 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: trouble because the folks who manage the accounts, they know 313 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: everybody's business. And the reason they know everybody's business is 314 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: liquor cannot be delivered beer, wine and liquor cannot be 315 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 1: delivered on consignment. You can't have terms. You have to 316 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: pay for that the moment you receive it. It's the 317 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: one thing that way, even the food companies until you 318 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: fall behind, in which case they'll require cash on demand, 319 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: but cash up front. But with the liquor companies, if 320 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: you can't pay when they deliver, they won't deliver. If 321 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: they arrive and you can't pay, they'll turn and walk out, 322 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: and so they'll tell other people, hey, oh so and 323 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: so is going out of business. So if you ever 324 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: want to know who's going out of business. Just ask 325 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: a restaurant and bar owner, especially a bar owner, because 326 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: the moment you can't pay for your liquor means you're 327 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 1: going to have to run through what you have, and 328 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: if you don't have a good stock of it, and 329 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: if you don't have booze, and especially if you're in 330 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: the bar business, you're not going to last anyway. So 331 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: bars will continue to operate. And what some bars will do, 332 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: because they don't intend to pay their employees at the end, 333 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: what some bars will do is they'll operate till the 334 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: very end, you know, telling their employees, oh, just give 335 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: me one more week and drain every last dollar out 336 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: of there because they can't order new boots with more 337 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: of The Michael Berry Show Show.

He just made it big, 358 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: but he was beset by an adoring crowd, who, in 359 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: the ensuing melee scratched his new Cadillac Come On Man. 360 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: Thus began Elvis's new habit of renting the entire theater 361 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: whenever he wanted to watch a movie.

I was recently 405 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: watching Paul Harvey's speech to the American Broadcasters Association where 406 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: he was receiving a Lifetime Achievement award, and he got 407 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: a little choked up. And he told the story about 408 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: a guy who had mentioned his name to someone else 409 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: after hearing his show and said to him, this was 410 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: very early in his career. He was a young man. 411 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: The fellow said to him that Paul Harvey sounds pretty 412 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: good for his age, and he said, I feel that 413 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: way about myself today. The use of age. Nineteen eighty four, 414 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: the second Reagan Mondell debate occurred in Kansas City, Missouri. 415 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: During the debate, incumbent President Reagan was seventy three years old, 416 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: mind you, Donald Trump is seventy nine today, and he 417 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: famously responded to a question about his age by saying, 418 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: I will not make age an issue of this campaign. 419 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's 420 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: youth and inexperience. It was a line that they had 421 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: rehearsed again and again. Richard ben Kramer writes about that 422 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: in an article later for Esquire magazine. It wasn't that 423 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: the line was so great that made this special. There 424 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: are great lines that are written by writers. Reagan didn't 425 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: write the line, as a matter of fact. It was 426 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: the delivery. It was the fact that he was a 427 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: great actor, and that when you laid it, when you 428 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: walked into the trap, he snapped it shut. He delivered 429 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: his lines so perfectly. Here's what he said. 430 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 5: You already are the oldest president in history, and some 431 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 5: of your staff say you were tired after your most 432 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 5: recent encounter with mister Mondale. I recall yet, that President 433 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 5: Kennedy had to go for days on end with very 434 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 5: little sleep during the Cuba missile crisis. Is there any 435 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 5: doubt in your mind that you would be able to 436 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 5: function in such circumstances. Not at all. 437 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: It's true and I and I want you to know 438 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: that also, I will not make age an issue of 439 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political 440 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. 441 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: One of the greatest lines of all time of a 442 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: political debate, and I must say, giving credit to a Democrat, 443 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: a Texas Democrat at that. In nineteen eighty eight, Michael 444 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: Ducaccus chooses senior Tech his Senator Lloyd Benson as his 445 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: running mate, and Benson's opponent was Dan Quell in the 446 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: vice presidential debate, and Quill was saying, they say I'm 447 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: too young, they say I'm too young. I'm older than 448 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy was. And Benson had prepared and prepared 449 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: and prepared the delivery of this line, and he kept 450 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: flubbing it, but he didn't flubb it that night when 451 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: he famously said, Senator I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy 452 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: was my friend, and Senator you're no Jack Kennedy. That 453 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: was the line of the night Benson won the vice 454 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: presidential debate. It wasn't enough for Dukacas to win the election. 455 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: But the amazing thing if you read the book, which 456 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: out of print, which you can find it, we'll call 457 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: What It Takes by Richard ben Kramer, is they had 458 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: practiced at a hundred times and he flubbed it one 459 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: hundred times before that
