I 64 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: just don't understand why the funding for it needs to 65 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: come from taxpayers. Most of them will never see the 66 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: inside of that stadium. 67 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: So what are we doing here? 68 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: If you buy a ticket for the event, raise the 69 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: ticket price, Oh, Kate, raise a Michael, there's a hi.

That doesn't make any sense to me. 72 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: Make that makes sense, because it doesn't. Why does the 73 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: taxpayer have to pay for a stadium. It's not a 74 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: public good, it's a private good. It's not open to 75 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: the public. I don't think we should be. I don't 76 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: think we should be spend all the money on the 77 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: public things we do like libraries. Close the libraries, save 78 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: the operations expenses, sell the property, and get landlords to 79 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: donate space, put computers in them so the kids can 80 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: go there and read and research.

People aren't using the 82 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: libraries other than homeless people. There is a perpetual problem 83 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: with homeless people masturbating in public libraries. It's a nationwide problem. 84 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: It's been there since I was on city council. It's terrible. 85 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: They don't want you to know about it because then 86 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: you'd be scared to go to the library, and they 87 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: already can't get people come to library. 88 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: John, you're on the Michael Berry Show. 89 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 12: Yes, Hey, what about this possible solution for the internal 90 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 12: civil war for the Democrats? 91 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: John? 92 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: Have uh, the last five times you called your opinion 93 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: was horrible.

The few Republicans who were 123 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: there have left that was a Democrat primary. That's what 124 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: was just held. It was a Democrat primary, and the 125 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: socialists meet the white liberals. This is quite similar to 126 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, where Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton 127 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: in the Democrat primary.

They're useful to 133 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: those communities to accumulate power, but when the numbers get 134 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: strong enough, they will toss that candidate for one of 135 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: their own. It has to be a well funded, well 136 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: spoken candidate who can even win a few crossovers, because 137 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of white people who love to 138 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: vote for a non white person because it makes them 139 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: feel good about themselves.

It's got to 178 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 13: get bad enough to convince them. Otherwise they keep, you know, 179 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 13: doubling down, saying, don't know, we just need to people 180 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 13: a step farther, step farther. 181 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: My fear fear. 182 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Is there is a fallacy of believing that it will 183 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: get bad enough in New York that New York will 184 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: fix itself. The trend in urban decay Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, 185 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: d C, Detroit, a great example is that it doesn't 186 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: fix itself because you're hanging. It's such a delicate balance 187 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: to keep people enough, people in that city who are reasonable, 188 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: who will vote. What ends up happening is they flee 189 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: the city. And when they flee the city, you'll never 190 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: fix it. You'll never fix Detroit. You can't, no, I. 191 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 13: Know, but at some point, you're not anybody left in Detroit. 192 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh No, There'll be plenty of people. There'll be plenty 193 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: of people who will vote exactly the way they do. 194 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: There won't be anybody with a brain left, and there 195 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: won't be anybody white left, but there will be plenty 196 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: of people. 197 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 15: So that I mean, we've allowed the cities to collapse, 198 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 15: and they have Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, uh, 199 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 15: New Orleans. 200 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: They have collapsed, and and we've bailed them out on 201 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: the on the federal level. And you're gonna bail them 202 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: out because they're gonna have enough. Congressman, you're gonna bail 203 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: them out. At some point, you are your brother's keeper. 204 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: At some point. These are these are pieces of America 205 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: that you have to protect, no matter how frustrating it is. 206 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: It's it's it's the kid. 207 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: Who you know has mental problems or gets in criminal trouble, 208 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: and and you know you'd like to cut them loose, 209 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: but it's your kid, and you're gonna keep You're gonna 210 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: stay in there, and you're gonna engage, and no matter. 211 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: How difficult it is, you're gonna fight for your kid. 212 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 13: But at some point there's tough love involved. 213 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: I understand that kid and believe I mean, I don't. 214 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: I don't understand. 215 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 13: I don't really. I'm not sure what the answer is, obviously, 216 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 13: but I don't know that saying, you know, the Republican 217 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 13: message needs to get out there more. They don't want that. 218 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 13: The people that are voting for those guys in those cities, 219 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 13: they don't want that. I think that's what we're missing. 220 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 13: We can put the Republican message out there. Trump came 221 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 13: in full force. They don't want it. They've getten what 222 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 13: they want. I'm my kind of We've got to kind 223 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 13: of let them at a point, we've got to let. 224 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: Them have it. 225 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: You where do you live? 226 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 6: And Katie? 227 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: All right, So we had Sylvester Turner for eight years. 228 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: And there was corruption, there was waste, there was fraud, 229 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: but there were still good people living in the city 230 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: of Houston. Do we leave leave those good people to 231 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: die on the vine? Or do we fight for them 232 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: even though the majority are voting for Sylvester Turner. 233 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 13: No, we invite them to Katie. 234 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Well, listen, I get it. You know, that's been our solution. Right, 235 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: and I've said it a thousand times. Leave these big 236 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: urban areas. They're broken, the crime, the corruption, the taxes. 237 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: I agree, and we've seen this migration across the country. 238 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: But at some point when every major city, and New 239 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: York is important, falls to this degree, it is going 240 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: to affect our country. 241 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: We can't just laugh and go I had dumb ass, y'all. 242 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: It's become a third world country. It's going to affect you. 243 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: The easy, comfortable answer is to let New York implode. 244 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: When that's the approach we've taken, you know what, not 245 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: my problem. Let those people live in the squalor of 246 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: their own making. Believe me, I get it. I despise 247 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: bad policy, I despise the racism of the left. I'll 248 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: spend more time thinking about it than I probably should. 249 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: I despise what they're doing to our country. But as 250 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: easy and comfortable and as it may seem to simply say, 251 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: let them live in hell so they see how bad 252 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: it is and they fix it. They don't fix it. 253 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: That's just it. They don't fix it. If you could 254 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: have stopped Detroit, a once great American city, would have 255 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: made all the difference in the world. Well, just let 256 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: them let them. Okay, Well, let me go through a 257 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: couple of things that are going to happen. Mamdani is 258 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: going to stop prosecuting criminals, which means more criminals are 259 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: going to be put out on the street, which means 260 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: that some of them are going to end up in 261 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: other states. The state of California gave driver's licenses to 262 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. You had the guy come down from Canada 263 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: who's Indian a seek gets his license, has no business 264 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler and kill the 265 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: family in Florida. We are a country. We're not a 266 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: set of cities. We are a country. There are things 267 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: that are going to happen in these places that could 268 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: affect us here and will affect us here. Unfortunately, as 269 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: frustrating as it is, because we won't always win, and 270 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: we won't win over the electorate, I'll have to fight 271 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: for it because it's still our country. And the minute 272 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: we don't, Oh boy, it's going to be bad. Donnie, 273 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: you're on the Michael Berry Show. 274 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 16: Go ahead, Yeah, I just want to say the last 275 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 16: guy I was saying that those people voted for that, Well, 276 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 16: if they voted for that, it's because they're ignorant and 277 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 16: they don't know history. I'm not no history expert, but 278 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 16: communism has failed time and time again, and I just 279 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 16: pray to God that Congress and or the President do 280 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 16: not bail New York out. 281 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 6: Ever. 282 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: I agree. 283 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: I think that is they will not this president, but 284 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: the next one.

This is 290 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 13: gonna get worse. 291 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 7: I know that's being set all day and we'll be said, 292 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 7: but it's going to spread. 293 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: And that's the concerns I have. 294 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 13: They get, they blew it. 295 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 7: They screwed it up, allowing them this to happen, and 296 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 7: they're going to put it on the backs of the 297 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 7: American taxpayer and the American people. 298 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 13: To to fix this.
