1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load till 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Michael Verishow is on the air. 3 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: Iran's formerly supreme leader, Ayatola Amine is dead. This wretched 4 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 2: thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across 7 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: many countries. Last night, all over Iran, the voices of 8 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating in 9 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: the streets when his death was announced. I call upon 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: all Iranian patriots who yearned for freedom to seize this 11 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: moment to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and take 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: back your America is with you. I made a promise 13 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: to you, and I fulfilled that promise. 14 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: The rest will be up to you, but we'll be 15 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: there to help. 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 4: It's an incredible dissonance that they had to choose war 17 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: over a regime, but they were willing to do it. 18 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 4: Thank you Donald Trump, Thank you Benjamin nettyah who thank 19 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 4: you America. It's not death to America after they killed 20 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 4: the leader. The Americans and the Israelis did it. It's 21 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: not death to Israel and death to America. It's thank you. 22 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 4: It's a new day dawning, but very early days, very 23 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 4: very early days, so we'll have to see what comes. 24 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 4: But it's the Iranian people that have been telling me 25 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: over and over and over again, we want this. We're 26 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 4: not Regimis, We're not Islamic. I don't even say oh 27 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: my God to my Iranian friends because they don't want 28 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 4: God to be any part of this. 29 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: It's about. 30 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 5: This is about national security. This is about what is 31 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 5: possible in the Middle East. This is about being a 32 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 5: good name, good partner to the Gulf States and what 33 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,559 Speaker 5: their aspirations are. This is about supporting the people of Venezuela. 34 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 5: This is about dismembering our relationship with or not dismembering, 35 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 5: but resetting our relationship with China. 36 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: Right now, fifty five. 37 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 5: Percent of the oil production that Uran produces go to 38 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 5: China despite sanctions. You want to support the people of Ukraine, 39 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 5: you want to end that war, you have to. There 40 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 5: is no getting around dismembering this Islamic republic. It is 41 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: non negotiable. It is not a want to have, It 42 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: is a have to have. And it's not just for 43 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: the Iranian people. I think you have to trust the 44 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 5: Iranian people. 45 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 6: We know this. 46 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: Government better than anyone else. 47 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 5: When you dismember and decapitate this regime, you are going 48 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 5: to see a change of them, at least in Venezuela. 49 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: And China, in Ukraine. 50 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 5: And I think, quite frankly, their ideology has really it's 51 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 5: caused a lot of problems for US worldwide. We need 52 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 5: to take it seriously, and I think at this point 53 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 5: we have a tremendous opportunity. This will be like ending 54 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: the Soviet Agin, the Berlin Wall. This is a transformational 55 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 5: moment for humankind. 56 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Last thing I'll say about the Senate race, I see 57 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: we have one call. Take that, and then I want 58 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: to talk about Iran abroad and terror cells and how 59 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: that affects US domestically. On this Texas Independence Day. Let 60 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: me say I spent some time, quite a bit of 61 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: time over the weekend reviewing John Cornyn's record. And there 62 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: is the twenty twenty two hymn quarterbacking gun control laws 63 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: that has not made its way as a campaign issue 64 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: to the extent that it should. If gun grabbers freak 65 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: you out, John Cordon should frighten you. He led the 66 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: charge more than the Democrats in twenty twenty two for 67 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: a bill that they did not make manage to get 68 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: over the finish line. But it wasn't for lack of 69 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: effort by John Cornyn. And my guess is his calculation was, 70 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: it's four years before I go before the voters. I've 71 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: fooled them before twenty four years. At this forty one 72 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: years in public office, I've gotten away with everything else. 73 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: I'll just slide over into a little gun control. And 74 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: what will it matter when it comes down to it. 75 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: The most important thing that can happen this year in Washington, 76 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: DC is passing the Save Act, so we save our elections. 77 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: John Thune, the Republican leader, supposedly of officially in a 78 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: titular fashion anyway, is refusing to make that happen. Mitch 79 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: McConnell is against it. I don't know if he knows 80 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: where he is, but that's where his vote will be cast. 81 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski against it. If you are 82 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: left with a Republican majority, that has to be Republican squish, 83 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Republican squirter proof. And any other time John Cornyn would 84 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: be working right beside this group. These are his fellow travelers. 85 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: October eighteenth, twenty twenty, John Cornyn was up for election 86 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: and he had decided that Donald Trump was a liability. 87 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: John Cornyn doesn't stand for anything, only his own survival 88 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: and the power he has built. Besides, his daughter has 89 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: a lobbying business. She went from being someone nobody knew 90 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: because she's a kid straight out of school, to being 91 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: hired by an Austin lobbying firm as a secretary, to 92 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: being the face of that firm, to them opening a 93 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: DC firm, to them making a bunch of money in DC, 94 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: almost overnight. It's incredible what happened in a business that 95 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: typically takes years, if not decades, to build relationships. Overnight, 96 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: they hired John Cornyan's daughter. They made her the face 97 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: of the company. Nobody knew her before they opened a 98 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: big DC office. They get big lobbying contracts, and who 99 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: do you think is paying those lobbying contracts? Every put 100 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: big in front of them industry. John Cornyan's daughter is 101 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: getting paid to lobby the United States Senate. When he's 102 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: been the whip, he's been one of the senior Republican figures. 103 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: You wonder why he can't leave this office, why he 104 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: can't retire at seventy four. There is a fortune to 105 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: be made, not just for him, because you have to 106 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: have straw men. You have to have other people who 107 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: pull in the money. October eighteenth, twenty twenty, headline, Dallas 108 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: Morning News, John Cornyan defended Trump for siphoning Pentagon budget 109 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: to pay for border wall, but now claims he was 110 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: against it. So John Cornyan said he was against the 111 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: border wall when nobody was looking. What else do we 112 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: need to know about this Michael Berry Show? You know 113 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: where the balloon we go, Bob, You're on the Michael 114 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Yes, sir. 115 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 6: We have a sitting House member, Will Metcalf who is 116 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 6: centered by and not supported by the Republican Party because 117 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 6: he votes with Democrats. He's one of the twenty six 118 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 6: the Texas Scorecard listed as the Rhinos who elected the 119 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 6: current Speaker of the House. He has two deceptive pack 120 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 6: voter guides, lots of paid quote supporters, and very pushy 121 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 6: at the polls. But I think people need to know 122 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 6: that Will Metcalf is not supported by the Republican Party, 123 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 6: has been censured, and is a Rhino. 124 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you throw Cecil Bell in there as well? 125 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 6: It's personal for me. Cecil Bell has never lied to me. 126 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 6: Metcalf has a lot. 127 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: Okay, well to me, it's whatever someone says to me 128 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: or not. I'll be dead. We'll all be dead. The 129 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: question is what policies are put in place. This primary 130 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: is an opportunity. This is why a low voter turnout 131 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: is not necessarily a horrible thing, because the people who 132 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: are going to vote wind or rain, high storms or desert, 133 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: it does not matter, are people who remember that in 134 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the last legislative session we have an opportunity to elect 135 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: a conservative Republican to be the Speaker of the House. 136 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: There are one hundred and fifty members of the House 137 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: in Austin. There one hundred and fifty members. We have 138 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: the majority. But the Democrats gather together their minority. I 139 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: don't mamb what is sixty of them, whatever it is, 140 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: and they come and they make a deal because all 141 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: they need is let's say they have sixty out of 142 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: the one fifty, then all they need is sixteen of 143 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: the remaining ninety one out of every almost six. And 144 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: the deal they cut is, y'all get all the committee chairmanships. 145 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: You give us a few, and you give us an 146 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: influence in the House. If the ninety Republicans would inlock 147 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: step support a speaker, the Democrats would be pushed out 148 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: that have no influence in Austin. But that's not what 149 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: they do. Sixteen of them break ranks. These are the 150 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: sixteen that don't like Paxton. These are the sixteen that 151 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: don't like Toth. These are the sixteen that are not 152 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: Conservatives and are not going to Austin doing what they 153 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: campaigned on, and they want some power, so they start 154 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 1: trading their vote to the Democrats in exchange for a 155 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: committee chairmanship. These are the guys that are there to party, 156 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: not there to fix the problems. So once they get 157 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: their sixteen, they lay their cards on the table to 158 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: the other seventy four. So now our ninety is reduced 159 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: to seventy four. We're in the minority. We're not going 160 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: to win the speaker's race. And they go, all right, 161 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you seventy four, who wants to come over here on 162 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: our side because they don't want to win seventy six 163 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: seventy four that would make those Republicans look bad. Who 164 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, eighty percent of their vote are Democrats and 165 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: a few turncoat Republicans. So They go guys, who wants 166 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: some committee chairmanships, who wants some positions, who wants that 167 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: bill in? The Speaker of the House has all the power, 168 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: and now I Dustin Burrows Dad, drunk Dade's hand picked successor, 169 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: I got all the power. So they start falling and 170 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: there are some that hold out. Steve Toath ken Paxton 171 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: was a holdout. He ran for Speaker against the Uniparty candidate. 172 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: That's why they hated him twelve fourteen years ago. Then 173 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: he ran for the Senate against their candidate and beat him. 174 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: That's why they hate him. Then he runs for Attorney 175 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: General against their candidate, and he beat him. That's why 176 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: they hated him. So they ran George P. Bush. Surely 177 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: a Bush could get over, right, and they couldn't win. 178 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: Three months after he wins that election, at the end 179 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: of the session, what do they do At the very 180 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: end of the session. They don't try drunk Dad, and 181 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: the Uniparty doesn't try to pass anything. They were literally 182 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: on the last day of the session impeaching Ken Paxton, 183 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: send it over to the Senate where it failed split 184 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: the party. So are some Republicans pissed off what happened 185 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: very does that make them radicals? John Corny call them 186 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: what you want. Maybe it makes some true believers. Maybe 187 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: they're the poor dumb bastards that actually believe what you 188 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: people campaign on every year. Maybe they're the poor dumb 189 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: bastards that actually believe that we should fix these problems 190 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: that actually take you at what you say. Look, if 191 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: the squish left wants to be the squish left and 192 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: team up with the Democrats to pick the speaker and 193 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: impeach a very popular attorney general and do the bidding 194 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: of Karl Rove, which is where that came from, so 195 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: the he wouldn't be able to run against Cornyon, which 196 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: he's doing. Now, that's what all that was about. If 197 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: they were to do that fine campaign on that, don't 198 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: come home and tell the base everything they want to 199 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: hear and go to Austin or DC and do the 200 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: exact opposite, which is what they do, and that's what 201 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: I get angry about, and then call them radicals. So 202 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: those guys drunk day, that's why he's not speaker anymore. 203 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: By the way, drunk date he had to fall on 204 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: the sword. He almost lost his seat in Orange, Jefferson 205 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: and Jasper Counties in fact, he won his seat by 206 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: about three hundred votes, and well over a thousand Democrats 207 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: came over and voted in the Republican runoff. We ran 208 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: him to a runoff. It is going to be the 209 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: first time a sitting speaker had been defeated in his 210 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: own district. The writing was on the wall for the swamp. 211 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: We got to replace him. So they put in Burrows. Okay, 212 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: when they went to impeach ken Paxton. They did that 213 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: because there's some big money, big dollar money donors in 214 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: Texas that were but hurt that Paxston had beaten them 215 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: in the state Senate race and in the Attorney General's 216 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: race twice, and this was their shot to get him. 217 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: So they gave a lot of money to drunk Dad 218 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: Burrows Metcalf, Cecil Bell, and that whole crowd. So those 219 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: folks they get together and they put poor old Briscoe Caine, 220 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: poor little Briscoecane. They put him up. This was like 221 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio when he went over to the game six. 222 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: They said, look, brisco you've been out there running about 223 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: talking about how conservative you are. You went and grew 224 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: a Yosemite sam mustache. You talking tiff and Caine a 225 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: getting out of time being kibole and real conservative. But 226 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: nobody believes that you believe that. So here's what we're 227 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna let you run the impeachment of 228 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: Ken Passton and he did, and he did all the 229 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: while he's taking money from Colony Rich. Look, you could 230 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: say I don't like these people or whatever else, these 231 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: are verifiable facts. He took money from Colony Ridge on 232 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: multiple occasions. He called it the American Dream. It has 233 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: since been built fined sixty eight million dollars in a 234 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: massive settlement. Do you real that's how big that is 235 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: for what was going on there? It is a cartel hotspot? 236 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: Why were they giving Brisco so much money? So now 237 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: those guys are up for reelection, and anybody who remembers 238 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: what happened and what they did is being called radical 239 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: and nut jobs and all that. They're not. They're the 240 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: dumb bastards that actually believe what we say. We believe. 241 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: Mike Bachist runs a long Star chef in Eldridge in 242 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: two ninety and when he took that store over that 243 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: had once been the number one, number one store for 244 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: Silverado's in the country. They sold a lot of Solados there, 245 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: but that store had kind of fallen off over the years, 246 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: and Bachis was brought in to fix And he's my 247 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's uh. I was gonna say he's 248 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, but I think a lot of people don't 249 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: like Lane Kiven. He's He's a personality, charisma driven guy. 250 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: I send him a lot of deals to his personal 251 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: cell phone, which every one of our listeners is entitled to. 252 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: If you want to email me, I'll connect you directly, 253 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: and he puts he closes every deal, he charms the 254 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: face off of you.

All right, let's talk about Iran 288 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: and let's talk about Stateside. I don't feel the need 289 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: to talk at length about news stories that I feel 290 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: like you probably already know the details of, and you do. 291 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,239 Speaker 1: There's no reason for me to replicate that. But after that, 292 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: there was a terrible shooting, a mass shooting in Austin 293 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: on sixth Street, and these burgers. I forget the name 294 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: of the place starts with a B.

It's it's not a dive bar, 297 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: A weirdo bar. Uh, you know, a real violent bar. 298 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: This guy wanted to f some people up. He wanted 299 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: to undertake a terrorist attack. He is from Senegal. He 300 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: came to this country in two thousand on I think 301 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: it's a B one tourist visa. Came here on a 302 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: B one tourist visa, overstayed that visa, gets married. Man 303 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: manages to go through the process and get permanent residency 304 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: so that he can stay in this country. And there 305 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: are online comments he's making that are increasingly threatening and disturbing. 306 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 6: Uh. 307 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Supposedly the FBI was on to him uh and had 308 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: been for some period of time when he pulls up, 309 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: walks out at a very very busy time where a 310 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: lot of college kids are going to be out on 311 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: Sixth Street at this bar, and proceeds to start blasting away. 312 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: He's wearing a T shirt underneath. I have read but 313 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: not seen that makes reference to Iran. Again, I've not 314 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: seen that photo posted. You may have, or that may 315 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: be an exaggeration. I have seen the sweatshirt he was wearing, 316 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: and it says property of Allah. The Austin Police Department 317 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: deserves a commendation for arriving and engaging in fifty seven 318 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: seconds less than one minute. Now. It helps that this 319 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: is on Sixth Street, and Sixth Street tends to have 320 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: a pretty heavy Austin presence. I follow was it Sixth 321 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: Street Fights or some I follow up website because I 322 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: have a son in Austin that will show you the 323 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: fights that happened the night before on Sixth Street. And 324 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: usually they're the ones out on the street because you 325 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: can't film well inside a bar and the bars will 326 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: throw you out if you're fighting. But on the streets 327 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: you get a bunch of drunk young people strolling along 328 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: and somebody bumped somebody or says something or that's his 329 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: ex girlfriend, or that's you know, they played ball against it, 330 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: whatever the deal is. They get into a pretty nasty fight. 331 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: Wigs are snatched, teeth are knocked out, blood is spilled. 332 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: It is nonsense, but you will notice a heavy police presence. 333 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: Austin police department reacted nobly. Their district attorney is awful, 334 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: their city government is some left wing Portland wanna be 335 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: nut jobs Seattle type. But those officers responded and engaged, 336 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: and they put this dude down, finished him off. He's 337 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: from Senegal. Interestingly, if you look up Senegal illegal alien border, 338 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: you will see a bunch of young military aged men 339 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: coming into this country illegally being interviewed by some of 340 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: the citizen journalists who over the years have exposed this 341 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: sort of thing. He's only the first one we've seen. 342 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: You don't have to have a kid at UT to 343 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: be terribly concerned over the details coming out in this case. 344 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: By the way, the first person killed in his spree 345 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: young man named Writer Harrington, who was a student at 346 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: Texas Tech University. If you got a kid college age, 347 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: whether they're off in the Marines, the Army, the Navy, 348 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: tech school, a job posting or college, and you get 349 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: a call that your kiddo has been killed. How about 350 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: when you learn that the guy is a radicalized Muslim 351 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: who came to this country and overstate his visa, making 352 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: him an illegal alien. How about the fact that it 353 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: is believed I cannot confirm this yet, so I'm not 354 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: going to say the name that an NNGO helped him 355 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: stay here throughout all of this when he broke our 356 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: laws to stay and I don't think he came here 357 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: as a tourist. What do you think We're going to 358 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: see these terror cells. We're going to see the effect 359 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: when you bomb Iran their sleeper cells here and their 360 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: affiliates and their cohorts. We're going to see those attacks 361 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: on American soil in the coming days. That's going to happen. 362 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: The neocons will tell you we got to fight the 363 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: wars over there, so we don't have to fight them here. 364 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: The problem is the neocons want to fight wars over 365 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: there and open our bord here. The neocons have been 366 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: consistently open border types, but even more, the neocons want 367 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: to fight wars abroad and then bring their buddies home here, 368 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: and it turns out a lot of people they bring 369 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: back are unvetted, unstable and end up committing terrible, terrible crimes. 370 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you. Dan Crenshaw regrets signing a letter with 371 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: Sylvia Garcia pushing the Biden administration to bring Afghan quote 372 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: unquote refugees not just to the United States, but to 373 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: bring them to Houston to expedite that, theory being it's 374 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: good for the Houston economy because you get some federal funds. 375 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: So how would you like to know that the guy 376 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: who moved in next door just rape the lady who 377 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: lives on the other side of you, but the local 378 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: government got some money out of it. How would you 379 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: like to know that the people over there were brought 380 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: over here? Why? Why it's two different discussions. Should we 381 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: fight other people's wars, but these people it's part and 382 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: parcel the same package. We go fight other people's wars 383 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: and then we bring people here from those wars. Why 384 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: we don't need to do that. We are not putting 385 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: America and Americans first when we do that. Let's talk 386 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: about it. Erron again, I think most of the facts 387 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: are in evidence anybody who cares much about them. I 388 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: don't want to be a program that just repeats what 389 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: everybody else is out there saying. I'm as enamored as 390 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: the next guy at the technological advances, how cheap these 391 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: drones are, how powerful they are, the bunker busters, and 392 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: the way I'm as interested in all that as the 393 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: next guy. But I think we have an opportunity to 394 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: talk beyond all of that, and I think it's interesting 395 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: to get a perspective. I'm going to open up the 396 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: phone lines as to your thoughts. I posted this to 397 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: Facebook yesterday and I have read every single response, and 398 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to try to gel down what I think 399 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: the majority of responses come in at. And this is 400 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: basically any response that has five percent or more. One 401 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: of them is Israel and the Jews. This war is 402 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: Israel and the Jews. Israel and the Jews control American 403 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: foreign policy. It is in Israel's interest to take out Iran, 404 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: and that is uses ill gotten influence over the United 405 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: States government in order to ensure that people do this. 406 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the source of the Epstein files, so that 407 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: people are compromised and have to support that that's one. 408 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: One is a less sort of conspiratorial view, and that 409 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: is that this is an Israeli war that needs American 410 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: muscle and we shouldn't be fighting other people's wars at all. 411 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: Another one is a fear of a World War three. Now, 412 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: anytime bombs start bursting, there is a fear of a 413 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: world War three. But I was reading yesterday. Let's see 414 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: if I can find this. I was reading about the 415 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: energy markets. Now this could have changed in the meantime. 416 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: Let's see if I can find it. Here we go, 417 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: oil prices dropped back below seventy dollars a barrel. This 418 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: is yesterday afternoon. So oil prices had popped as you 419 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: would imagine a straight of horror moves. There's a lot, 420 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: a lot of oil that moves through that straight. If 421 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: that oil can't move, and if Iran's capacity is taken offline, 422 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: China is going to suffer from that. But it's going 423 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: to mean a shortage of oil. And we know supply 424 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: and demand reduce the supply. Maintaining steady demand drives the 425 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: price up. Very simple stuff. But by last night, over 426 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the opening spike had been clawed back. 427 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: So the energy markets are not predicting a spike in energy, 428 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: which means the energy markets are not predicting a sustained, prolonged, 429 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: quote unquote war. I don't know that you would call 430 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: this a war just yet. I guess there's legal terminology, 431 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: but it is not the moment we put boots on 432 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: the ground. This is a full on war. I don't 433 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: believe Donald Trump wants to do that. Now. The Irani 434 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: regime as of last night, had launched four hundred and 435 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: sixty missiles three hundred and fifty drones at eleven countries 436 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: across the Middle East. Obviously Israel, we expected that, but Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, 437 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: Cutter Uae, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, and Syria. Now you 438 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: could argue that's just them hitting American installations and Americans 439 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: where they know them to be. That's why they're attacking 440 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: the biggest hotels, the most famous hotels, including in Dubai 441 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: that is world famous. That's why they're attacking those hotels. 442 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: It is because the Americans who are working there, particularly 443 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: in some form of the State department, have evacuated the 444 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: offices and repaired to the hotels. So the idea is 445 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: hit the Americans where they are in their hotels. But 446 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: when Iran's Shia Muslims are attacking almost all Sunni Muslims 447 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: in eleven countries or ten non Israel, you would expect 448 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: them to attack Israel. It starts to look like Iran 449 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: has been marginalized in the region. And that's an interesting 450 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: position because if a president manages to put together a 451 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: diplomatic team and a diplomatic coalition that includes Muslim nations 452 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: when there is a Muslim war skirmish engagement in the past, 453 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: that has been described as a diplomatic genius. Somehow it 454 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: would appear that Donald Trump has done that. To my knowledge, 455 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: there has not been another Middle Eastern nation come out 456 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: and condemned this president. Even the French got involved, but 457 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: I think we're going to pull them back and say no, no, 458 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: we don't need you to surrender. Keir Starmer had to 459 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: speak up because he's so unpopular in the United Kingdom. 460 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: The Chinese response has been at most muted. The Russians 461 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: have not engaged, and a lot of that is Russian technology. 462 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: Whatever one may think of Trump, whatever one may think 463 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: of if we should even be in Iran. By the way, 464 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: those were a few of the anti Iran comments that 465 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: made up about fifteen to twenty percent. I would say 466 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: that over eighty percent of the comments were very very 467 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: pro this either you know Iran going back to nineteen 468 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: seventy nine and the hostages, Iran's involvement in Iraq, Iran's 469 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: involvement in Eastern Africa, Iran's saber rattling, the Obama deal 470 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: with Iran. But I thought we'd open the phone lines 471 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: and just let you share openly your raw opinion in 472 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: a no judgment zone. Seven one three nine nine nine 473 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: one thousand. Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand
