1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: What happened?

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Something must have happened. It's not you, it's me. You're

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: giving me the it's not you, it's me routine. I

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: invented it's not you, it's me. Nobody tells me it's them,

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: not me. If it's anybody, it's me. I'm great, George,

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: it's you. You're damn right, it's me. I.

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: Let's start with a new polling that shows the Democratic

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: registered voters fifty five percent, have a negative view of

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: the party, while just over a quarter.

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: Yesterday and I went past and I went and bought

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: the book Original Sin. This is Jake Tapper and Alex

16
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 4: Thompson of Axios. Jake Tapper, of course with CNN, it's

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: there kind of way to set the record on the

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: Biden administration and what went wrong. Now, as you know,

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: Jake Tapper was part of what went wrong. So there's

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: an irony to him now saying this is what has happened.

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 4: Megan Kelly grilled him on that He's been grilled on

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 4: this multiple times, and as this interview phases have gone

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: from step to step, he's grown more and more.

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: The supplicant. You know, Ah, yeah, you're right. I was wrong.

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Y'all were right.

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: I don't think he thought he was going to have

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: to say that, but these are the things he has

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: to do to sell the book. So I commented last

29
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: night that I'd bought the book and that I had

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: started reading it and I would be reading it until

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: late in the night. Get up this morning and read

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: it some more, and I will finish it this evening.

33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: It's a pretty quick it's about three hundred, three hundred

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: and twenty pages, three hundred and fifteen pages, but it

35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 4: does flow pretty well, and it is written well Jake

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: Tapper has written, he has written before. This is not

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: a turgid, difficult thing to read. But I notice, based

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: on commenting about the book, that there were a number

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: of people who lost their mind that you know, I

40
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: will not read it. I will not give him a dollar.

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: My buddy Buck Saxton said, you know, told people in there,

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: do not read this, do not give him any money.

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: And I just disagree, and I'll tell you why. First

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: of all, the easier path is to not read it. Okay,

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: it's always easier to not do so I'm gonna not

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: read that. I'm gonna do it principled. Well, maybe you

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: just weren't going to read it because you don't read.

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: You never thought of that. When's the last book you're read.

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: I don't I don't like people make money off me.

50
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna read this and there's nothing else. Okay, well,

51
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: then that's not really as high minded as you think

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: it is. All right, that's fine, But the second question

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: is what if?

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: What if?

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: Hypothetically, what if there are some things in the book

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: that you didn't know that you now know that become

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: available to us. It's never going to be the Republicans

58
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: who can expose what went on in the Biden administration.

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: It has to be Democrats who have access to other

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: democrats who they can get to talk. And in that sense,

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: this is true. Jake Tapper's not a good guy. I

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: don't want Jake Tapper to get glory or anything else.

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: But there were things that I learned in this book

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: that I did not otherwise know. And I will be

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: sharing from my notes, and I will just rattle through

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: my notes Now some of it was reminders of things

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: I'd forgotten about. But I noticed the three areas of

68
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: decline are energy level, cognitive, and communication. That's something that

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: comes through again and again. Now on the point of communication,

70
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: they continue with this nonsense that Joe Biden is a

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: survey of a stutter. Poor guy, he's stuttered as a kid.

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: I don't believe this. I've followed his entire career. I've

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: seen audio clips. He made himself out to be an

74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: overcomer of the stutter. So when he went into decline

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: talking like this, they said, oh, this might just be

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: his stutter. This man has used medical elements, death, disability,

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: and all that as an excuse for his own failures

78
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: his entire life.

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: It keeps coming up again and again and again.

80
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: His son bo died. That's terrible. No parents should have

81
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: to bury their child. But you can't use that as

82
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: an excuse when you're running for president or you are president.

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: That's inappropriate. We're talking about the biggest job in the world.

84
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: Your son having died that does not qualify you for that.

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: There is the story about his wife dying and his

86
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: little daughter dying, and then Hunter and or in the

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: car when he's pretty young and his wife dies. Remember

88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: later he claimed that the driver was a drunk driver.

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: It turns out that was a lie, but he was

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: speaking to the drunk drivers group. I didn't realize his

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: brain problems went back to nineteen eighty seven. So I

92
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: remember him leaving the nineteen eighty seven presidential race over plagiarism.

93
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: The guy had lied about his his qualifications, his how

94
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: he did in law school, how he did He lied

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: about everything, and it all came out and he left

96
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: the race. He left the race in eighty seven. In

97
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: February of eighty eight, he has an aneurism that two aneurysms,

98
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: one of which actually bursts, and his spinal fluid problems.

99
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: This isn't a case of him using a medical this

100
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: is a real medical condition. And last rights were administered.

101
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: They thought he was going to die. They would not

102
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: let Jill into the room. They were married by then.

103
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: Where he was and the thought was that he's going

104
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: to die. So he had a series of problems related

105
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 4: to his brain that begin in nineteen eighty eight. Mind you,

106
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: that's thirty seven years ago. They thought he was going

107
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 4: to be their candidate this year. That's thirty years ninety

108
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: eight eight eighteen. That's thirty two years before he's elected president.

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: That's a long time to have suffered with a degenerative

110
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 4: brain and spine issue, which he had. Doesn't include the

111
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: fact that he's had prostate cancer for some number of years.

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty two, he said he had cancer. There

113
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: are doctors suggesting that he could have had this cancer

114
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: for ten years. We also know that they weren't testing

115
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: his PSAs a typical sixty five year old man and

116
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: up will have their PSA checked because it's the breast

117
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: cancer of male, it's very likely you're going to have it.

118
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: My my wife's uncle was a prominent doctor at Northwestern

119
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: University who studied prostate cancer, and he said, there's a

120
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: seventy percent chance that a seventy year old man will

121
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: get prostate cancer. And with each age your percentage goes up.

122
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: If you live to be one hundred, the odds are

123
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: you're going to have prostate cancer. It's just our body

124
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: wasn't built to run this long of a race. We've

125
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: kept the body going for this long. So two thousand

126
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: and eight, twenty years later, he runs in the presidential

127
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: race again against Barack Obama, comes in fifth in Iowa,

128
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: drops out. Obama ends up picking him to be his

129
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: running mate. Twenty fifteen, his son Bo died. Now here's

130
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: something interesting about his son.

131
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Bo died.

132
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: The plan was for Bo to run for president, and

133
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: Bo ends up getting very sick. He's the Attorney general

134
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: of Delaware.

135
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Bo gets very sick.

136
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: And guess what They hid Beau's illness from the voters.

137
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: As well as a pattern that goes on.

138
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: They laugh learning doing it big on the Michael Barry Show.

139
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: I read Jake Tapper's books that You Don't Have To

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: Biden's aneurism and near death experience in nineteen eighty eight. Interestingly,

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 4: of all the things that Biden lies about to puff

142
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: himself up and bluff as to all his accomplishments, he

143
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: doesn't talk about the aneurism, So the real medical issues

144
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: he has he avoids. This is something that is very important.

145
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: His son did the same thing. So in twenty fifteen,

146
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: Beau dies. He'd been sick for two years. He was

147
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: the Attorney General of Delaware. He was coming to Houston.

148
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: To go to M.

149
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: D Anderson and he had some sort of a blastoma.

150
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what it was.

151
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: Joe has talked about him himself being a gold Star dad.

152
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: You know that his son died in battle. Not true.

153
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: His son was sent to the Middle East as a

154
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: lawyer in the Jag Corps and he had been back

155
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: for five years at that point. So no, he wasn't

156
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: in battle, and he didn't die in uniform. As Joe

157
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: has told some gold Star families. The man is a

158
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: pathological liar.

159
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: He really is.

160
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 4: You could see that from the nineteen eighty eight election.

161
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: But his son denied. Health problems kept anyone from knowing that. Now,

162
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: what's interesting is upon his son's death, Hunter, who had

163
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: had all these problems and was described as a disappointment

164
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: to his dad, Hunter, all of a sudden starts dating

165
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: his now dead brother's widow.

166
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: There is a lot of scuttle but that.

167
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: He was knocking boots with Bo's widow before she was

168
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: a widow, because Bo was still alive. And that's the

169
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: kind of person Hunter Biden is. Hunter Biden introduces her

170
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: to cocaine and meth, which she would end up having

171
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: a problem with. That's also a pattern Hunter Biden introduces

172
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 4: to women in his life to meth and they get

173
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: hooked on it. In twenty fifteen, when Bo dies, Hunter announces,

174
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 4: Hey Dad, I'm going to run for mayor of Wilmington. Hunter,

175
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: You're not allowed to run out of rehab. You've been

176
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: in rehab most of the time.

177
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: They have a big.

178
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: Family interdiction with Hunter. He leaves the house and refuses

179
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: to participate. He dates Bo's widow, leaving Bo and his

180
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: widow's children in a real bad pickle. When drama unfolds there,

181
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: mom gets hooked on cocaine. He fathers another child named

182
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: Navy with the woman London, who was a stripper in

183
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: DC at the time. She's in Little Rock. He refuses

184
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: to admit it is his child. Then he marries a

185
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: woman to this by the way, to this day he

186
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: still refuses it. But the blood tests show they did it.

187
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: And you know what, his answer to the blood test

188
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: is a Hillary Clinton answer. His answer to the blood

189
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 4: test is, that's just a Republican conspiracy. They just did

190
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: that to embarrass me. They probably switched my blood in there. Believable, Hunter,

191
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: very believable. Then he meets a woman and three days

192
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: later marries her and she has a baby shortly thereafter.

193
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 4: So I don't know if they got pregnant the first

194
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: who knows, who knows? The younger sister has serious drug problems.

195
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: That's Ashley. You know about her problems. You know about

196
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: the book and all that. So there is this mythology

197
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: that develops around Joe Biden that he's very, very tough,

198
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: that Joe Biden.

199
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: He writes a book.

200
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: It's says his dad always told me to get up,

201
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: and that nobody keeps Joe Biden down.

202
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: He gets up.

203
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: Well, you start to note there's a disagreement as to

204
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: when the mental decline begins in earnest. There are some

205
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: who trace it to twenty fifteen, about the time Bo dies,

206
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 4: and they blame it on Bo's death. Whatever the reason,

207
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: if he's out of it, he's out of it. Not

208
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: for me to decide. But there increasingly, all the way

209
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: up to and before the twenty twenty election, there is

210
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: discussion about his mental decline.

211
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: More and more and more so.

212
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: The idea that in twenty twenty he's fine and it's

213
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: not until recently that he declined.

214
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: That is just not true.

215
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: There are too many people who are close to him

216
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 4: who say that is just not true. His sister vow

217
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: who had run every campaign of his since nineteen seventy two,

218
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: begged him not to run and writes letter to the

219
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: family that he is in no condition to run, he

220
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: should not run, but of course Jill wins out. Another

221
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: thing you noticed from this is that Jill isn't that

222
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: involved politically until about the mid two thousands, and by

223
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: twenty twenty she's running everything and her aid.

224
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Jill had an aid.

225
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: Anthony Bernal becomes deputy communications director, and many people claim

226
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: that he was really running everything Jill's aid, not Joe

227
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: Biden's aid, which is very odd. Nobody's ever seen that.

228
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: There's also a fun, little, fun little skirmish when Hunter

229
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: is with this woman, Kathleen. He treats her very very

230
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 4: very badly, and she goes off and is estranged from

231
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: the Biden family. But while she was with Hunter, she

232
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: became very good friends with Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama is

233
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: loyal to Kathleen, the ex wife, and feels that the

234
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: Bidens treated her horribly, so Michelle despises the Bidens and

235
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: will never come around them, and it gets pretty nasty.

236
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Apparently over the years, Nicki Hayley will give her credit

237
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 4: for this phrase referred to the White House as the

238
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: most privileged nursing home in America because it was a

239
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: nursing home, Joe Biden would have in his annual physical

240
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: they would do a test, a neurological test, now that

241
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: is to see if the nerves are operating correctly. But

242
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: they would not do which every other president had done,

243
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: a cognitive exam. And the reason is his cognitive levels

244
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: were in deep steep decline. Jake Tapper makes the point,

245
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: and I don't think this is just a what about

246
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: ism that this has been going on elderly people in

247
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: our government. This had been going on around twenty twenty already,

248
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: and he's absolutely right about this. Kay Granger from Texas,

249
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: she was in an assisted living center in Texas.

250
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: And nobody knew. There are reports even her staff didn't

251
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: know where she was.

252
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: That should be criminal. She was still holding the seat

253
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: as a congressman. Mitch McConnell, freezing up, glitching.

254
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: What was going on?

255
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: You had the speaker, you had the Senate majority leader

256
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: who can't do a press conference. He was as bad

257
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: as Biden. We have to acknowledge that strom Thurman. Strom

258
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: Thurman died as a US senator at one hundred years old.

259
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: Diane Feinstein, Chuck Grassley ninety years old.

260
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: This is this is awful. This has to change.

261
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: This is the Michael Barry Show. See people give pot

262
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: a bad name, man, and it's because for some people,

263
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: it's not the best thing in the world. All right,

264
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: people like go bro felt my brother's life. My brother

265
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: was fun. Then he started smoking weed. What about gods

266
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: like him? Oh you mean losers? Oh yeah, let's make

267
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: it illegal. By the way, let's make hammers illegal too,

268
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: because if you don't build a house with them, you

269
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: can't hit yourself in the deck. If you're just crazy.

270
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Your brother's a fat dummy.

271
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: He never did anything right. If it wasn't pot, that

272
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: guy's life up, it would have been cheeseburgers and scratch tickets.

273
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: All right. He's an idiot.

274
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: A plant that made him silly, that took him over

275
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: the Edge't take it anymore.

276
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean too much food.

277
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: Life is too much fun.

278
00:16:53,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: But I used to argue with my mother because we

279
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: had some severe alcoholics in our extended family, and she

280
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 4: would get frustrated at them.

281
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: They were older and I was younger.

282
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 4: But I can remember even as a teenager, you know

283
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: so and so on so and so he did this

284
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: and just that alcohol, And I would say, Mom, his

285
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 4: problem is not the alcohol. His problem is his problem.

286
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: The alcohol is how he deals with it. You have

287
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: to confront the underlying problem. It's too easy to blame

288
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: drugs for why people do the things they do. That

289
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 4: person seeks out a drug because of a demon inside them.

290
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 4: That's why the most effective addiction programs, and there are

291
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: several different ones. AA is probably the most common, but

292
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: it doesn't work for everybody. That's why those programs focus

293
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 4: on the underlying issue that makes someone seek refue in

294
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: a bottle or narcotics anonymous the same thing. And one

295
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 4: of those is resentment. People who bear resentment and can't

296
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: speak to it. They feel like they're being taken advantage of.

297
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 4: They feel like they're not respected, they feel like they're dishonored.

298
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: They feel like this person oversteps boundaries and picks too much,

299
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: or kids too much, or does this too much, and

300
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: so they come out and they become like, yes, man,

301
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 4: they be I think that's what the movie is called

302
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: what's the name of the movie, where the guy basically

303
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 4: now has to be has to be honest about it.

304
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: That's why the AA graduates will come out and they'll

305
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 4: call you and say, hey, Ramon, I just want to

306
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: tell you when you call me this name, I don't

307
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: find it funny.

308
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: It bothers me. Uh okay, weirdo. I wanted you to know.

309
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: Click.

310
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 4: And that's why they do that, because what they're trying

311
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: to do is a hard reset, which is what they

312
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 4: claim ibagain does. They're trying to do a hard reset

313
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: and say, these things cause me frustration, grief, whatever, resentment, bitterness, anxiety,

314
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: whatever that is. These things cause me those emotions. And

315
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: because of those emotions, I then go and do a

316
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: bad thing, which is I drink, and I drink to

317
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 4: excess and then I end up out in the streets

318
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 4: or fathering children, or fighting people, or crashing a car

319
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: or whatever the reason. The alcohol is not the problem.

320
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 4: It was the solution. It just turns out not to

321
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: be a good solution. It creates other problems. That part

322
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: is true. It creates other problems. But what causes the

323
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 4: person to rely on that drug and getting to that

324
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: route and beginning to understand and how to find more

325
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: productive outlets, whether that be exercise a very common one, meditation,

326
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: a hobby, whatever else. That's how people get through those things.

327
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: Blaming drugs for human frailty is a weak and inappropriate

328
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: way out. Many people do it as an excuse. That

329
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 4: wasn't me, boy, when I get drunk. No no, no, no, no no.

330
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: There's somewhere along the path of getting drunk, and I

331
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 4: bet that wasn't the first time you were drunk that

332
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 4: you had to know. You had to learn. I do

333
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: dumb things I send me in texts, I crash my car,

334
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: I uh say in appropriate things to women or men,

335
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: I fight in a bar, whatever that thing is. You

336
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: will find that it's typically a pattern that continues over

337
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: a period of time. Now, did the person pass from

338
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: buzzed to slop you drunk by making a decision, Hey,

339
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: you know what, this buzz is good.

340
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: But what I want to.

341
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: Do is get so drunk that I embarrass all my friends,

342
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: my wife, my kids, my boss, my whatever. What I

343
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: want to do is I want to take this to

344
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: the level that I end up in jail overnight and

345
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 4: humiliated tomorrow. Or I want to take this thing from

346
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: you know that nice real light buzz where it started

347
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: to getting.

348
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: In my car and killing an entire family. That's what

349
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I like to do. So this.

350
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: Can you, Hey, guys, can y'all bring me a glass

351
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: about yahai of gonna kill a family tonight using my automobile.

352
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: People don't do that, but there has to be a

353
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: certain amount of agency that we take responsibility. If you

354
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: are a person who has never had more alcohol then

355
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 4: is necessary to get your buzz and caused you to

356
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: say or do a mean or stupid thing, then God

357
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 4: bless you. Because I listen, I will say full confession,

358
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: Ramone has. Ramone definitely has, and I will confess that

359
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: Ramone has definitely, definitely done that.

360
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: He has sent me.

361
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: One of the things he will do, we'll disclosure. We're

362
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: in the circle of friendship. He will send me a

363
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: text message with a link to a really stupid song

364
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: and pour out his heart on what a great song

365
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: this is usually from the nineties, and how I should

366
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: really learn to like the song, which is a very

367
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 4: inappropriate behavior. It'll be YouTube or depeche Mode or something

368
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: like that. But he does that, and he wouldn't do

369
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: that save and accept being under the influence of alcohol.

370
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Really, that's where we're going. That's where we're going. Okay,

371
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: all right, well, who you got online?

372
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 4: Mark?

373
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: Mark? You're up, sir, go ahead.

374
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 6: This was Mark from Bolmony, Michael Barry Hazar second time,

375
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 6: long time, this second time calling in the same day

376
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 6: we got it. We had a hard break and actually

377
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 6: I had a hard break too, said all timed out correctly.

378
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 6: But yeah, just going back to the I be game

379
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 6: and Rick Perry pushing this and also not just Rick Perry,

380
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 6: Marcus and Morgan Latrelle are pushing m d m A

381
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 6: and I began as well as a treatment.

382
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: For Peter Marcus. Marcus has yeah, and so it.

383
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: Is Morgan and so is Morgan as well according to

384
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 6: the Texas standard.

385
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, and they.

386
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 6: Both are are are procured of PTSD, and I mean

387
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 6: it only takes one or two you know, treatments. And

388
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 6: like I was talking about before, this is not a

389
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 6: fun trip. This is not a recreational drug that you're

390
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 6: going to have. You know, this isn't this isn't the

391
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 6: LSD of the seventies or the eighties it was. You know,

392
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: this is something you need to have under clinical treatment,

393
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 6: and you know have having somebody you know, check your

394
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 6: blood pressure, check your heart rate, make sure you're not

395
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 6: going crazy. But I mean, if we can have fewer

396
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 6: camp hopes in America because of this. I'm all for it.

397
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 6: I'm one percent all for it. Second point, I have

398
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: an adult son who's severely autistic, nonverbal, you know, six

399
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 6: foot two hundred and forty pounds, with the mind of

400
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: a two year old, and he has high anxiety.

401
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: Thunderstorms.

402
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 6: Last night he was closed fist hitting himself in the

403
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 6: head because of the thunderstorms. That's how anxious he is.

404
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 6: And we have him on Klonzipan and Xanax. I'll wait,

405
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: I'll wait till after the break.

406
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 5: Well, well, lucky you, the Michael Berry Show continues for

407
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 5: your lucky day.

408
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: So my wife is something of a fitness nut and

409
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: I can't keep up. And yesterday, I guess was overcast

410
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 4: in Houston, or so I'm told, and she took George

411
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 4: on a walk around Memorial Park. George is you know,

412
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: she has a full coat. They are German shepherds, not

413
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: desert shepherds. But we've never had a problem with her.

414
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: You could walk a pretty good distance and she would

415
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 4: be fine. My wife takes her on one loop, which

416
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: parking across the way. All in, it's probably going to

417
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 4: be about a four mile walk, not an intense.

418
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Pace.

419
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: But she's wanting to get her back into shape because

420
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: she hasn't been walking her of late. She wants to

421
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 4: build her back up where she can go for nice

422
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: long walks, which my.

423
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Wife loves to do.

424
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: So they start walking and they get about three point

425
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 4: seven five miles into this thing, and George just falls over.

426
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 4: And my wife filmed it and sent it to me, like,

427
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 4: what do you think? And I said, she looked panicked,

428
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 4: she looks terrible, she's clearly scared, and she's extremely dehydrated.

429
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 4: You got to get some water down here. So my

430
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: wife said they were about two hundred feet from a

431
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: water fountain, but she could not get George to move well.

432
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: As you know, dogs can't sweat, so their mechanism for

433
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: reducing their body heat is limited to panting, which is

434
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 4: not a very efficient valve to get rid of this

435
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: internal heat that has built up. So I'm on the

436
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: phone back and forth, back and forth. A guy's jogging by, said,

437
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: will find somebody with water, asked him to help you

438
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 4: put some water down her. So that helped, and this

439
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 4: guy was very nice. He put water on her paws,

440
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 4: her extremities. He sat with him for a few minutes

441
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: and he's on his way. So my wife is there

442
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: for quite some time from when she stopped walking. It

443
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: was an hour and forty minutes before a friend of

444
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 4: ours could arrive to bring a wagon to put her in,

445
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 4: to haul her to the vehicle and get her home.

446
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 4: She gets home, she's she can't move for about three hours,

447
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: and finally she kind of comes around and she's okay.

448
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 4: So obviously it put my wife in a pretty big panic.

449
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 4: And she said, you know, the frustrating thing is the

450
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 4: sun wasn't out and it didn't feel like it was

451
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: extremely hot. So our nephew Kyle, who's the knower of

452
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 4: all things. He's the one that explains, you know, relative

453
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: humidity to me, or how rockets work or whatever. And

454
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: he was an ac repairman growing up in Virginia who

455
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: went on to get a PhD in geology. So he

456
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 4: has this he's at Occidental. He finds oil for Occidental,

457
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 4: that's what he does.

458
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: He has this rare.

459
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: Ability to explain scientific phenomena in a way that I

460
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: can understand. So he sends a message. There are other

461
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 4: reports of two dogs passing out yesterday that I have heard.

462
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 4: Austin said it was a rare weather phenomenon of high

463
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: pressure with extreme humidity and high heat. Heat index was

464
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty or so yesterday at the high point.

465
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: That's when you were out. You didn't see it in

466
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 4: the sun, but the heat was there. And he said

467
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: that he had done some yard work last night. It

468
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: was my nephew Kyle, and that he found himself weak

469
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: in a way that kind of made him uncomfortable. He

470
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 4: said the temperature was only ninety two. We said only

471
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: ninety two. Because of Houston temperature was only ninety two.

472
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: So nobody was aware of the heat index and the

473
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: shock of the rapid transition to one twenty, which is

474
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: hard for the body to adjust anyway. I only say

475
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: that for those of you who found yourself out gardening

476
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: or walking or washing the car yesterday and you thought

477
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: to yourself, man, I feel a lot older than usual.

478
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: I think I don't know what's going on. Actually, it

479
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: was apparently a.

480
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: Very rare day.

481
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: With regard to the weather. Morgan Latrelle, Marcus's brother, Congressman,

482
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: is demanding to know why the Department of Veterans Affairs

483
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: regularly overpays veterans and then comes back and demands a clawback.

484
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: Morgan Latrelle saying that the VA issued at least five

485
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: point one billion dollars in comp and pension overpayments from

486
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 4: fiscal year twenty one through fiscal year twenty four, end

487
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: of the last fiscal year, and he is demanding that

488
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: the veterans not have to pay it back because they've

489
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 4: not budgeted for this.

490
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 3: You know, I.

491
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: Am a person who finds comfort in orderliness. I am

492
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: a person who finds comfort in cleanliness. I acquire these

493
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: habits from my parents. Things being clean and tidy and

494
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: in their place it gives me a happiness. And things

495
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: being out of place or dirty or the like broken,

496
00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: it gives me an unhappiness. When I see that the

497
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: American systems are broken. And by the way, this isn't

498
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: a heat index melting something. This is human beings screwing

499
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: up repeatedly. It gives me a lack of It gives

500
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 4: me a sense of something being wrong. You know, if

501
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: a guy's out in the street and he kicks a dog,

502
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: you see that and you just viscerally react, there's something wrong.

503
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: When I see that almost no aspect of American government

504
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: operates properly. When I see that people are being hired

505
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: and promoted for all the wrong reasons. When this doze

506
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: just touched the tip of the iceberg. When I see

507
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 4: money just being wasted and sent all over the world,

508
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: When I see that the heart earned dollars that you

509
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: send in every day are just being burned in a

510
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: pile and there's no concern for it, it makes me

511
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: so angry, just furious. This isn't somebody's money in Romania

512
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 4: or the Philippines. This is my money and your money,

513
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: and my dad's money and my kid's money, and it's

514
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: just being burned. And what has been the reaction to

515
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 4: pointing out all the fraud. Elon is hated, Trump is hated.

516
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: Let mean think about that, Think about our neighbors who

517
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: are angry that the waste is being exposed. And so

518
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: that's why I feel no compunction.

519
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Don't.

520
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: I won't hire those people, I won't do business with them,

521
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: I won't shop with them.

522
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't bother me one bit
