1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: Come and get me, Nicholas Maduro will wait right here 4 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 2: in Mira Flores. 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: Don't take too long, coward. 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 3: The Biden administration made a deal with Maduro. 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: No one talks about this. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: Maduro asked that his nephews, convicted drug traffickers, be released 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: from US prisoners. He asked that his chief money launderer, 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 3: his money man, his bagman, be released from US custody 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: before he stood trial. In exchange, he promised to hold 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: free and fair elections. He got the nephews back, the 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 3: drug dealers, he got the bagman back, and he never did. 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: The free and he stole all the election. He stole 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: the elections. 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 3: President Trump just announced on social media that Veslimam President 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: for Nicholas Medora has been captured and flown out of 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: the country. The forty seven president the United States is 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: not a game player. When he tells you that he's 20 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 3: going to do something, when he's good, tells you he's 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: going to address a problem, he means it. This is 22 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: a president of action, Like I don't understand yet how 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: they haven't figured this out. 24 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: And now if you don't know, now you know. 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 4: The Venezuelan people need our support to recover their democracy 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 4: and rebuild their country. A new sanctions is one of 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 4: the tools for a comprehensive strategy that includes humanitarian assistants, 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 4: international pressure, and support for democratic actors in Venezuela to 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 4: force the regime to embark on the road to a 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 4: free and fair election. 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: This is not any president that just talks and does 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: letters and press conferences. And you know, if he says 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: he's serious about something, he means it. The message here 34 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 3: should be for the world. Look, the president doesn't go 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: out looking for people to pick fights with. He's not 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: generally wants to get along with everybody. We'll talk to 37 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: me with anybody, but don't play games. Don't play games 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: with this president's in office, because it's not going to 39 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: turn out well. 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 5: Tell me how this news is being received in Iran, 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 5: How's it being received in Russia, How's it being received 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 5: in China? All three, predictably will deplore this kind of 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 5: activity publicly. Privately, they will be impressed with the military 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 5: capability here. 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: I would argue none of. 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 5: Those three militaries could have executed in operation like this 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 5: and again, we just we tend to just breeze by this. 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 5: But the idea of finding Fixing, kidnapping, taking him out 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 5: alive with his wife, no casualties on the side of 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 5: the US, that's an extraordinary military operation. The US has 51 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 5: something of a mixed track record of ousting dictators without 52 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 5: necessarily a plan for what comes afterwards. 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 6: It that way, so that's what. 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: We have different presidents. With me, that's not true. With me, 55 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: We've had a perfect track record of winning. 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 7: We win a lot in less than an hour. Minnesota 57 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 7: Governor Tim Waltz, the vice presidential candidate for Kamala Harris 58 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 7: Jazz Hands Timmy the football coach. You'll recall after the election, 59 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 7: he said that he was the redneck whisperer. He was 60 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 7: brought onto the ticket to talk to the white men, 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 7: you know, because because he likes to hunt and play 62 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 7: football man apparently diddle young men's booty holes. But I 63 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 7: don't know how that was supposed to help him connect 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 7: with anybody. 65 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: That's that's what he thought. Well, he will speech. 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 7: The announcement yesterday did not say that it would be 67 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 7: his resignation, but we now know that it will. The 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 7: Star Tribune out of Mogen Issue has the speech, and 69 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 7: I will just read to you the operative lines. But 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 7: as I reflected on this moment with my family and 71 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 7: my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion 72 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 7: that I cannot give a political campaign my all. Every 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 7: minute I spend defending my own political interests would be 74 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 7: a minute I cannot spend defending the people of Minnesota 75 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 7: against the criminals who pray on our generosity and the 76 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 7: Senate cynics who pray on our differences. So I've decided 77 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 7: to step out of the race and let others worry 78 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 7: about the election. 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: While I focus on the work. Oh way to go, Timmy. 80 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 7: Timmy would love to continue being the best governor in 81 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 7: the history of Minnesota, but he realizes that traveling the 82 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 7: Great State and eating the Somali food, and kissing the 83 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 7: Somali ass and protecting the Somali criminal enterprise the warlords 84 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 7: that would take so much of his time that instead 85 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 7: he's just gonna He's just gonna sit in his office 86 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 7: and govern. He's just gonna do what needs to be 87 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 7: done for the people of Minnesota. That's old Timmy, always 88 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 7: willing to take one for the team. If you know 89 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 7: what I mean, no matter where that comes. We'll talk 90 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 7: about that on the evening show. The story of Venezuela 91 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 7: grows more interesting by the minute. Aside from Venezuela, some 92 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 7: of the largest heavy crude oil reserves in the world 93 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 7: are in Russia. This will of course affect Russia, it 94 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 7: will affect China, which depends on Venezuela and oil. Cuba 95 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 7: is absolutely a and so that's why President Trump is 96 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 7: suggesting that a fall in Cuba is imminent. 97 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: The argument goes that. 98 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 7: Tapping into Venezuela's heavy crude oil reserves would weaken Russia's influence. 99 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 7: I saw somebody's saying that this would strengthen Russia because 100 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 7: it would reduce a number of It would reduce the 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 7: amount of heavy crude overnight, making Russia a more valuable 102 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 7: provider of heavy crude. Well, yes, in the short term, 103 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 7: but if you open up Venezuelan production, you're going to 104 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 7: create a competition for Russia that is not going to 105 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 7: inure to their benefit. And in Russia relies heavily on 106 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 7: the sale of their oil to the world. So this 107 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 7: becomes a geopolitical move between Trump and Putin. This gives 108 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 7: Trump leverage with putin. It gives him leverage with China, 109 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 7: and that's something I think that is very very important 110 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 7: to him, is leverage on both of those countries, particularly 111 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 7: with China. He has said over the weekend that he 112 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 7: will sell some of the oil that will be produced 113 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 7: out of all of this to China, and as I said, 114 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 7: I think that is to a sage the Chinese and 115 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 7: keep them out of meddling with this process. 116 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: You'll be fine. 117 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 7: You'll still have the oil your economy so desperately needs. 118 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: It's not just about oil. 119 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 7: Reports are that Venezuela holds two hundred cubic feet of 120 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 7: natural gas reserves, much of which is unexplored. 121 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: Now. 122 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 7: The problem with their natural gas and heavy crude oil, 123 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 7: as I understand it, is it's very expensive to recover. 124 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 7: Oil's currently at fifty seven dollars a barrel. The guys 125 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 7: in Texas would like it to be seventy. This poor 126 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 7: tends to drop that and more supply is going to 127 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 7: be lower prices and lower profit. But it's going to 128 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 7: be lower cost to you and me at the pump, 129 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 7: and that's a good thing. The King of Dean suggested 130 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 7: for general audiences, all right, let's open the phone lines 131 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 7: seven one three, one thousand, John and Kirksville, Missouri. Rights 132 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 7: had a fellow at work with atrocious breath. We called 133 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 7: him breath of a thousand Buttholes. I can't tell how 134 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 7: many people have said to me that this or that 135 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 7: person has breath that smells like ass. I don't know 136 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 7: what's wrong with my mind. But my immediate response, rather 137 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 7: than thinking, wow, that's really descriptive, I get your point, 138 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 7: my immediate reaction is always, well, how do you know 139 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 7: what ass smells like? Are you really flexible? Or were 140 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 7: you somewhere you shouldn't have been? Are you a proctologist? 141 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 7: Michael writes I lived for twenty years in Venezuela, finally 142 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 7: getting out in twenty thirteen. The significance of the cartel 143 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 7: the sols is that they are the equivalent of stars 144 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 7: or an American uniform, and in fact they are generals. 145 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 7: They are the people running the cartel. The military is 146 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 7: the cartel. I was waiting to see how many Cubans died. 147 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 7: They make up the Praetorian Guard, and that has turned 148 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 7: out to be the case. The Cuban government themselves announcing 149 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 7: that thirty two Cubans have been killed I'm not sure 150 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 7: why they had to have a reason they thought that 151 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 7: was that does not look good for them. Your task 152 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 7: was to provide president security for this propped up president 153 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 7: who gives you oil in exchange for your mercenaries, and 154 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 7: your mercenaries just got their ass kicked and you didn't 155 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 7: take out one American in the process. 156 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, as I understand. 157 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 7: That the West Texas light crude and the heavy Venezuelan 158 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 7: or even OPEC oil are needed in the formulation of 159 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 7: gasoline as we use it, and having that heavy crude 160 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 7: at American disposal makes us less dependent on OPEC. Because 161 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 7: we produce our light crude, we need the heavy crude. 162 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 7: It makes us less dependent on OPEC. It makes us 163 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 7: less dependent on Canada. So expect to see a change 164 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 7: in tone from Canada going forward. But as you can imagine, 165 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 7: American energy companies are not going to invest billions of dollars, 166 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 7: which the President says they're going to do, unless they 167 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 7: perceive Venezuela to be stable. And that's where you start 168 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 7: looking at the potential dangers of nation building. Because we've 169 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 7: not wiped out the Secretary of Defense, who by all 170 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 7: accounts is a really bad guy. We have not wiped 171 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 7: out the Vice president, who, despite her recent protestations overnight 172 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 7: that she's looking forward to working with Trump, is not 173 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 7: a good person. We've not wiped out the operators and 174 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 7: other cartel leaders who were behind the scenes running the 175 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 7: Maduro government. You take out Maduro and his wife, you 176 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 7: have to remember there's a whole group of folks, and 177 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 7: I'm not suggesting that we should wipe them out. I 178 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 7: think that's the lesson we learned from Iraq. If we 179 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 7: had extricated Saddam Hussein and co opted the units, the 180 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 7: special units that he had in place, and the structure 181 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 7: that he had in place, at least until internally they 182 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 7: could develop their own, that country would have been better off. 183 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 7: But what we did is we wiped out the entire 184 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 7: top tier, and that created a vacuum, and it was 185 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,239 Speaker 7: a vacuum that was filled by some really bad operators 186 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 7: who knew nothing about governing, but had a lot of 187 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 7: men and a lot of guns. It opened the door 188 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 7: for Iran to come in. So now you had this 189 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 7: triangulation of Saddam Hussein, who was in the minority of 190 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 7: that country based on his beliefs, background, religious denomination, you 191 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 7: had the Irani Shia government, you had other operators in 192 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 7: the region who might have claimed to be overly religious 193 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 7: but were really just power hungry, and we created an 194 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 7: environment where the country collapsed overnight. That would not have 195 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 7: happened simply with the removal of Saddam Hussein. 196 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: That was a huge mistake. 197 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 7: The Bush administration was operating at the time under what 198 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 7: they called the Powell doctrine, and that went, if you 199 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 7: break it, you bought it. 200 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: That meant, if you create the collapse, you then. 201 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 7: Go in and engage in the nation building activity of 202 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 7: providing their security. There are people listening to us right 203 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 7: now who lost a loved one patrolling the streets of 204 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 7: Baghdad or to Cree or Belujah. You know, it's interesting 205 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 7: when I think back, Marcus Ltrel comes back from Afghanistan 206 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 7: busted up, broken up, shot to hell, hospitalized in recovering 207 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 7: for a year. He goes back and serves in Iraq. 208 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 7: In fact, I think he comes back from Afghanistan five 209 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 7: and he's in Iraq in O seven. I may be 210 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 7: wrong on this on the dates I knew it. At 211 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 7: one point, I just can't recall it. I believe he 212 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 7: was in Iraq, or had just returned from Iraq when 213 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 7: the book was published, changing his life forever. He didn't 214 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 7: swim back Ramon, that's uh, he might be a Navy seal. 215 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. 216 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 7: He not swimming that long, although he did lose fifty 217 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 7: pounds in forty days. 218 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: Very christlight, very christlight. Yeah, he's uh. 219 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 7: My wife said, you know, I think you and Marcus 220 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 7: are very similar, because neither one of you does well 221 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 7: with just treading water. You either need to be doing 222 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 7: something really extreme, you know, losing a lot of weight 223 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 7: or whatever you're doing. Going back into normalcy is not 224 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 7: good for you. And I said, I don't know what 225 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 7: you said, but when you said that Marcus and I 226 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 7: were a lot alike, I like that part of that. 227 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: That was real good. 228 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 7: I like Ramona's shaking his head. I like to catapult myself. 229 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 7: See that is the opposite personality of a CHATTACONI Nakanishi. 230 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: That guy gets up early every morning. He gets up 231 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: earlier in the morning. 232 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 7: Did I go to bed, gets up, goes and does 233 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 7: his workout, does his protein powder and his seaweed. 234 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: Mix, and is this and is this probably has his. 235 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 7: Daily ablution and does this this this works out preps. 236 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 7: The show shows up, turns the lights on, turns the coffee. 237 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 7: I mean that guy, there's no extremism with him, none, 238 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 7: absolutely none. Think about the other countries watching what just happened. 239 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,119 Speaker 7: If you're a guy like Maduro a ten pen Martinette 240 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 7: dictator of a country, and you go, you know, I 241 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 7: kind of like what's going on? And while nobody in 242 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 7: my country is allowed to question me, you know, there 243 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 7: is that little detail of I could be toppled Noriega 244 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 7: in eighty nine, Kadafi under Obama, Saddam Hussein. You know, 245 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 7: maybe maybe no more saber rattling for me for a 246 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 7: little while. Maybe I realized there's something out there that's 247 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 7: bigger than me. 248 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: It's the excitement of Oshan, the Michael Berry Show. 249 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: Everything you need and most everything you want. 250 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: A friend who was. 251 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 7: Who works with the riot group for the Houston Police Department, 252 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 7: who had to work yesterday afternoon because there was a 253 00:16:50,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 7: Venezuelan protest downtown Houston. And it's interesting, isn't it that 254 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 7: the Democrats are constantly playing defense. This is what Trump 255 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 7: does that no Republican has ever caused them to do. 256 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: The entirety of my life. 257 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 7: The Democrats go on the offensive, and our side tries 258 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 7: to find a way. 259 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: To thwart that. 260 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 7: When they win, they win. When they lose, we're just 261 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 7: back to neutral. We can never win. Trump stays on 262 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 7: them constantly. They have to wake up every morning unsure 263 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 7: of their playbook because Trump is going to control the 264 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 7: media cycle. That's what he's going to do. Trump is 265 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 7: going to decide what we're going to talk about today. 266 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 7: Rare is the day that he is not the one 267 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 7: who sets the agenda for what every water cooler conversation 268 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 7: is going to be that day. And once he sets that, 269 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 7: the Democrats run around and say he's hitler, he's a cannibal, 270 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 7: he's a horrible guy. He did this, he did this. 271 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 7: But they are always in defense. 272 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: Or what he's arguing. 273 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 7: I saw Newt g Angrish giving an interview last night 274 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 7: and he said, one of the things they wanted to 275 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 7: do to Bill Clinton during the Hillary Care, yes there 276 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 7: was Hillary Care before Obamacare. One of the things they 277 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 7: wanted to do was they wanted to put Bill Clinton 278 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 7: in the position of having to defend indefensible positions. And 279 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 7: what Trump has now done is put the Democrats in 280 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 7: the position of having to defend Maduro, and that is 281 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 7: not an enviable position with regard to the public. I 282 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 7: saw some polls last night that Trump is anywhere from 283 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 7: five to ten percent more popular. His policies are five 284 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 7: to ten percent more popular than he is individually. And 285 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 7: I'll go back, as I always do, to twenty twelve. 286 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 7: There was an exit poll done between Romney and Obama. 287 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 7: Romney was underwater. He was under fifty percent approval rating. 288 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 7: It was the worst approval ratings for a sitting president 289 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 7: seeking re election since polling had begun on a national 290 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 7: scale in the thirties. There was no way he was 291 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 7: going to win. There were two key questions asked at 292 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: the exit poll. Remember, the exit poll is what you're 293 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 7: asked as you're leaving having voted. It's considered accurate, although 294 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 7: it's turned out not to really be so. But this 295 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 7: gives the media something to report on when they start 296 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 7: reporting in the minute the polls closed. The problem is 297 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 7: the polls close on the East Coast long before they 298 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 7: do it on the West Coast, or even before in 299 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 7: Central time zone. So what they're trying to do is 300 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 7: skew the election leftward because the East coast countries tend 301 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 7: to be more Democrat. Middle America tends to be or Republican, 302 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 7: so they hope to suppress the vote with the early 303 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 7: returns that oh the Democrats canna win. The two key 304 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 7: questions were who would do better on the economy and 305 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 7: who would you rather have a beer with? Who would 306 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 7: do better on the economy was sixty forty Romney. Who 307 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 7: would you rather have a beer with was sixty forty Obama. 308 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 7: What the media and the Democrats do a very good 309 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 7: job of doing is that their people are cool and 310 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 7: hit likable, nice, caring, sympathetic. Republicans cruel, cold, aloof distant 311 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 7: and as it turns out, a lot of people are 312 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 7: not in a position that they're capable of choosing who 313 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 7: would be the best leader because they don't have any 314 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 7: leadership skills themselves. Most Americans are not leaders. That's that's 315 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 7: very simil Peo prime of Faci point. Most Americans are 316 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 7: not leaders. Everybody can't be a leader for every leader. 317 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 7: You have a lot of people who are non leaders. 318 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: Whether they're followers or not depends on the person, but 319 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 7: they're not leaders. And people who are not leaders don't 320 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 7: understand what leadership entails. You can go to the break 321 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 7: room of every company in America, and you can hear 322 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 7: the guy with four dwis, three divorces in bankruptcy court, 323 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 7: who won't pay his child support tell you how the 324 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 7: CEO of the company doesn't know how to run it. 325 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: And that's fact, that is a fact. He knows more 326 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: than everybody, Yes he does. 327 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 7: So to the surprise of nobody, when the Maduro capture 328 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 7: and it was held close to the vest emerged, the 329 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 7: protest machine fired up.
