1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 2: Time, time, time, luck and load. The Michael Verie Show 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: is on the air. 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 3: You're gonna make a lot of money, right, yeah right, 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 3: that's not yours? 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: Well it becomes ours. 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: How is that not stealing? I don't think I don't 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: think that. I'm explaining this very well. The seven eleven. Right, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: you take a penny from the tray from the crippled children. No, 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: that's the job. I'm talking about the tray. 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 4: The you know, the pennies for for everybody, oh, for everybody? Okay, yeah, 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 4: well those are whole pennies a right, all right, I'm 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 4: just talking about fractions of a penny here, okay. But 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 4: we do it from a much bigger tray, and we 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 4: do it a couple of million times, so what's wrong 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 4: with that? 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 5: In a post on X, Doge said the Department of 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 5: Health and Human Services had terminated a contract paying Family 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 5: Endeavors eighteen million dollars a month to operate an empty 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 5: facility in West Texas. DOJ also claims Endeavors received its 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 5: HHS contract in twenty twenty one after a former ICE 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 5: employee and Biden transition team member joined the nonprofit Endeavors. 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 5: Government disclosure forms show its revenues shot up in twenty 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 5: twenty one from fifty million to six hundred and fifty 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 5: eight million. 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: And when you see the people, they are in Tennessee 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: paying fifty percent of their their income to state, federal, 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: and local taxes to other ends, you know, through everything else, 29 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: fees and everything else, and then they see us sending 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: literally billions overseased our animation. You know, I'm uncovered forty 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: million dollars going. 32 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: To the Taliban. 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: A guy named Sean Ryan over Middle Tennessee, former Navy 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: seal podcaster. He and another guy named Legend had brought 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: this to my attention. And you know, last term, I 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: could not even get the Democrats to bring it up 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: in the Senate. Had passing animus in the House, not 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: even a question because they're going to have to admit 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: they made a mistake, and they continuously made a mistake, 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 3: and they did it on purpose. 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: Is the worst part about it. 42 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: In this graph that you're seeing, and that's one hundred 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: percent what it is, I think you're going to see 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: a piper trail. 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Come back to Washington, DC. 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: And that's why I think a lot of people are nervous, 47 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: and you'll see a lot of retirements because they are 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: stealing from the American taxpayer. And now they got their 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: handcott in the cookie jar, and all they can do 50 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 3: is attack Elon. 51 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 6: Muss Elon Musk leaving the government last night from the 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 6: quasi governmental agency for the DOGE of which he was 53 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 6: the spiritual and I guess ostensible fugitive titular leader, bringing 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 6: into question what will become of Doze. The Trump administration 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 6: tends to operate based on a kind of top down, 56 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 6: vision oriented set of POL implementation the likes of which 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 6: I've never seen. Everyone in the Trump administration understands the 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 6: overarching goals values approach and they execute on that. You know, 59 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 6: one of the things that President Trump did that I 60 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 6: think was very very effective was or has been, the 61 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 6: televised cabinet meetings. And the cabinet meeting is an accountability session. 62 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 6: It's what it is. Whether you've been part of a 63 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 6: workout group, a project in class, a unit of an 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 6: organization that had to update on you know, sales this week, 65 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 6: or whatever else. We don't like to be held accountable 66 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 6: because it means that we will fall short and it 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 6: means that we have to push ourselves harder. It's a 68 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 6: it's a technique. Trump has run large, large organization for 69 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 6: a very long time. Almost nobody who becomes president has. 70 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 6: And if you've never run a large organization, you have 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 6: no idea what you're doing. 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: None. 73 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 6: You can't imagine, you think, you know, you think. You 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 6: just say, hey, we're going to do this, and everybody 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 6: does it. But unless you put in place the right 76 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 6: people who share that who understand that vision and share it, 77 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 6: and they are holding people accountable and you are holding 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 6: them accountable. This is the sort of thing that the 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 6: average American does not know. Many of you do. The 80 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 6: average American sits in the stands and judges Nick Saban 81 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 6: or Bill Belichick as a coach and what they ought 82 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 6: to do. When these people have never coached anything, They 83 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 6: never coached lill League baseball. They don't know what they're 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 6: talking about, but they think they know. There is a 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 6: false sense of confidence in one's own abilities and judgment 86 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 6: at that moment. Trump has this unique ability to implement 87 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 6: across a large organization a set of values that I've 88 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 6: never seen before. It is absolutely incredible. But one of 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 6: the things that's very important is your relationship with Trump. 90 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 6: With Doze now lacking a person who has Trump's ear. 91 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 6: I fear that the efforts of Doge will peter out. 92 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: And that's too bad. 93 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 6: The Big Beautiful Bill, after all was said and done, 94 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 6: did not actually implement the changes that Doze laid out. 95 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 6: And it's going to be interesting to see whether those 96 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 6: people lose heart because they're true believers. They're like a 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 6: Ron Paul convention. They're true believers in cutting the waste 98 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 6: and doing what's necessary, no matter of the cost. Political 99 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 6: that is professional, that is I think Elon is going 100 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 6: to enter into a phase which his companies need at 101 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 6: Space six, at Starlink, at Tesla, at Neuralink, at the 102 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 6: Boring Company. 103 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: I think his companies need when I say. 104 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 6: His guidance, they need He's He's the face of all 105 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 6: these operations, as Steve Jobs was, as Warren Buffett is. 106 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 6: You know, when Warren Buffett talks about stepping down, immediately 107 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 6: shares a Birther Merkshire hat the way drop, Well, why 108 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 6: the fundamentals are in place. Warren Buffett's not touching every deal, 109 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 6: he's not making every decision, but there's a general idea 110 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: that he's there, and that's important. Great leaders. Jim Collins 111 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 6: wrote in Good to Great create cultures that succeed him. 112 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 6: I don't think Elon was at Doze long enough to 113 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 6: create that culture, and I worry that it will peter 114 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 6: out and nobody else could have pulled together the young 115 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 6: guns to bring in Aih in that manner and do 116 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 6: what they did. 117 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: That that was really special. It was a special moment, and. 118 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: Relatively speaking, very little actual cuts came of it. I 119 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: do think it's healthy to expose it. You know, the 120 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 6: seven hundred dollars toilet on the airplane from years ago. 121 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: The question is. 122 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 6: Do we become inured to these shocking things so much 123 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 6: so that the next time we're told we who cares 124 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 6: nothing to. 125 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: Be done about it?

Let's talk about 205 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 6: where that song came from, because I believe that art 206 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 6: floats in the ether and you just grab hold of 207 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 6: it for a moment. But what was going on with you? 208 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 6: How did you first hear it? Were you noodling on 209 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 6: the guitar or did you hear it completely? 210 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Tell me about that. 211 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: Well, I'm always playing. 212 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 7: I played my guitar and shoot my bow and trained 213 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 7: with my firearms, literally, Michael, every day. It's just it's 214 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 7: stuff that I have a passion about. They all play 215 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 7: a pragmatic and inspirational purpose in my life. But in 216 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 7: my youth, I was always playing Chuck Berry and Bo 217 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 7: Diddley and Little Richard and Motown Funk Brothers, and the 218 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 7: right hand on my guitar developed a percussiveness, a rhythmical 219 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 7: kind of a nugent MotorCity version of Bo Diddley's Chuck 220 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 7: A CHUCKA CHUCKA. And just one day I was tuning 221 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 7: my guitar and that happened. That move happened. There was 222 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 7: really nothing I could do about it. It had a heartbeat 223 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 7: of its own, and then the lyrics just flowed. The 224 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 7: lyrics are defiance against the music industry that turned me 225 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 7: down for all those years because long guitarist Soldo don't 226 00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: make it anymore. 227 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: I need some pop music and disco's coming in, and 228 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: I said, yeah, well listen to this song, kids. 229 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 7: So the song is one of defiance against an industry 230 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 7: that was losing its touch with the original black influences 231 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 7: of soul music and rhythm and blues inspired rock and roll. 232 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 7: So like this morning, Michael, this morning, I was playing 233 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 7: a Gibson Birdland through a Fender twin app and I'm 234 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,479 Speaker 7: telling you all these new variations kind of a bastardized 235 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 7: honky tonk meets boogie woogie, and there's always new topography 236 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 7: to explore on the guitar neck. And because I have 237 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 7: such a passion and a dedication to trying to be 238 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 7: Chuck Berry when I grow up, that all these new 239 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 7: lick patterns happened. 240 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: It happens all the time. 241 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 6: You know, you have talked a lot over the years 242 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 6: in our conversations about Chuck Berry, and I think a 243 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 6: lot of young folks say, will have no idea how 244 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 6: big Chuck Berry was and also how influential Chuck Berry was. 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: Why is that for you? 246 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 7: Well, I think I've summarized it numerous times in interviews, 247 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 7: and the facts remain that there's not a piece of 248 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 7: music that is a bold, expansive statement, which I'm pretty 249 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 7: good at. But there isn't a piece of music, Michael Berry, 250 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 7: that you really get a kick out of and want 251 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 7: to turn up when it comes on the radio and 252 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 7: makes your truck go faster that doesn't have an essence 253 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 7: of what Chuck Berry created cadence wise, rhythmically, upbeat, spirit wise, cocky, irreverent, fun. 254 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 7: There is not a powerful piece of music in anyone's life. 255 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 7: And I'd be glad to debate this for anybody that 256 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 7: doesn't have a direct inspiration from Chuck Berry's catalog. I 257 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 7: don't care if it's country, I don't care if it's blues, 258 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 7: I don't care if it's rock and roll.

And even though we're old men now, Michael, 389 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 7: when we get in the barn and start jamming, it's 390 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 7: like a bunch of kids.
