1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: You. 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Michael Verry's show is on the air. The question is 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: Froulhelm we are you lying? 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 3: Then? 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: Are you lying now? But are you not? In fact 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: the chronic and habitual liar. When you hear the. 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 4: Term fake news, you probably think about how it's used 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 4: often today by President Trump. But it's actually an old 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 4: term used by the Soviet Union as a reference to 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 4: disinformation campaigns that the Soviets and now the Russians have 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 4: long used to destabilize the West. 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 5: US officials have warned that Russian interference remains an active 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 5: threat for the twenty twenty presidential elections. 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 3: She and and is scumbs scumb The New York Times 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: is scumb. 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 6: Rudy Giuliani already had open contact with a person that 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 6: the US has called an. 19 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: Agent for the Kremlin. 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 6: Now we are being told by two people who've been 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 6: on what the FBI is doing that they're looking into 22 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 6: whether these unverified emails about Hunter Biden that were published 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 6: earlier this week by the New York Post about his 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 6: business dealings in Ukraine and China are part of this 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 6: bigger Russian disinformation effort. 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: In the twenty twenty election. 27 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 3: CNN is scum, MSDNNG is scum. The New York Times 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 3: is scum. 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 7: President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he'll be 30 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 7: standing in front of a monument of two slave owners 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 7: and on land wrestled away from Native Americans. 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 8: We do have now some of the sound. As I 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 8: told you, we're not in the audience. We're not carrying 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 8: his remarks live because, frankly, he says a lot of 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 8: things that are not true and sometimes potentially dangerous. 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: CNN is scum, MSDNNG is scum. The New York Times 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: is scum. 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 9: Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 9: you the truth, and you if you can't handle the truth, 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 9: This version of Biden intellectually, analytically. 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 5: Is the best Biden ever, looking at the images and 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 5: looking at what was actually damaged. That Defense Intelligence Agency 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 5: has assessed that the core components of Aron's nuclear program 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 5: are largely intact, and that Aron's nuclear program has essentially 45 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 5: only been set back five months. 46 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: We are not a breaking news show, and that rule 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: doesn't change today. The Pam Bondi discussion will come, but 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: not today. I need to acquire some more information before 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm ready to offer my opinion on that. I won't 50 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: labor this point because I spent almost three hours on 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: it this morning. But the Republican base, including and perhaps 52 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: especially the MAGA movement, the Trumps supporter base, is fractured 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: right now over Iran, and President Trump knows it. And 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: every minute that he's talking about Iran, he is not 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: talking about gas prices, and he is not talking about 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: delays at the airport, and he is not talking about 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: anxiety over AI and job losses. And that's what Americans 58 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: want their president focused on. So whatever your position on Iran, 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: understanding that if the President does not make the case 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: for November, because November is his reelection, however you want 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: to look at it, he is the face of the 62 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: Republican Party. If we lose the House in the Senate, 63 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: then we got real problems on our hands and his 64 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: last two years will be greatly affected. Understanding this, the 65 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: President took his message to the people last night, and 66 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: when you look at what his message actually was, you 67 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: begin to understand that he knows he's got some real issues. 68 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: He's not talking about victory as much as he is 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: getting the hell out of there. This was part of it. 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: As we speak this evening. It's been just one month 71 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: since the United States military began Operation Epic Fury, targeting 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: the world's number one state sponsor of Terra Iran. In 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, 74 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: overwhelming victories on the battlefield, victories like few. 75 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: People have ever seen before. I'll start there because I 76 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: want to get to the next bit. But what he's 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: trying to do is say we've accomplished what we needed 78 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: to accomplish. He is no longer demanding the opening of 79 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: the Strait of horr Moves, he is no longer calling 80 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: for things that would have involved long term boots on 81 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: the ground. And I'm glad for it because I don't 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: think the American people support him. I don't think his 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: own base supports him in that, and I think he 84 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: realizes that. But basically, here's where he said, Look, we've 85 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: done what we needed to do. 86 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: To those countries that can't get fuel, many of which 87 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran. We 88 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: had to do it ourselves. I have a suggestion. Number One, 89 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: bio l from the States of America. We have plenty, 90 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: we have so much and Number two build up, some 91 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: delayed courage. Should have done it before, should have done 92 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: it with us, as we ask, go to the Strait 93 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves. 94 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done, 95 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: so it should be easy. 96 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: The good news is the stock market will pop when 97 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: the war is over. If we can get interest rates down, 98 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: that will help. Those are the sorts of things that 99 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: are going to affect the American public's mindset when we 100 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: get closer to November. You know what's interesting is, and 101 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: I did not realize this, the world's helium supply is 102 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: affected because Cutter or Katar, however you prefer to pronounce it, 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: accounts for about a third of the world's helium supply. 104 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: And they've stopped producing helium because Iran struck two liquid 105 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: natural gas facilities owned by the state run Qatar or 106 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: Cutter Energy remote. Can you imagine no helium? That could 107 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: be devastating for our children. 108 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 7: Breaking tonight, the global helium shortage, now linked to conflict 109 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 7: in the Persian Gulf, is beginning to have unexpected consequences, 110 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 7: not just for the industry, not just for tech, but 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 7: for childhood itself. We go now to our correspondent with 112 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 7: the latest. 113 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: That's right, Gena. 114 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 10: What started as a supply chain issue has now escalated 115 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 10: into a full blown vocal crisis. 116 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: Without helium, some of the world's most. 117 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 10: Recognizable voices are changing, and we want to warn you 118 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 10: the following audio may be disturbing ray their cuge jewel hell. 119 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: Nick a Mouse. 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 10: See, I told you it's not working. It's not working. 121 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 10: It's like Dolly Parton trying to sing Algreen. Not gonna 122 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 10: happen again. That was Mickey Mouse. Experts say, without helium, 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 10: his voice has dropped significantly. 124 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: My goodness, and he's not alone. 125 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 10: Goofy, long known for his high pitched, care free tone, 126 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 10: has also been affected. 127 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Gosh, to your buddy. Goofy is in a world 128 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: of hurt. Tommy, why he's smoking? 129 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 10: Officials describe that as concerning I'll say in response. Both 130 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 10: characters appeared earlier today in a joint press conference calling 131 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 10: for an immediate and to the conflict. 132 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: Folks, this has gone too far. We can't keep doing 133 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: this now. 134 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 10: Global leaders have yet to respond, but early indication show 135 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 10: widespread panic. Because if this continues, experts warn we may 136 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 10: be looking at a world where Mickey Mouse sounds like 137 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 10: he runs a truck stop, and Goofy sounds like he 138 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 10: needs a nap and a lawyer. 139 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 7: Back to you, Gina, thank you, and we'll continue to 140 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 7: follow this developing story for the sake of the children 141 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 7: and their voices to change. 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: Things change the Michael Berry Show, and keeping perspective can 143 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: be hard, harder than it used to be when you're 144 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: when you understand it there if you're a if you're 145 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: a social media consumer or a news consumer, and many 146 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: people are news consumers through social media, it can give 147 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: you the feeling of constant connectedness, which which can be exhilarating. 148 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: It can be fulfilling because you're never alone. You know, 149 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: we like to talk about the world before computers, generally, 150 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: and we do so wistfully because then people weren't walking 151 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: around living on their phones. But it's sort of like smokers. 152 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't understand until relatively recently, nobody puts 153 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: a gun to a person's head and says smoke that 154 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: cigarette smokers will slip off and smoke when nobody sees them. 155 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: They will go to great pains to smoke. And while 156 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: I do believe it's difficult for them to quit. I 157 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: think part of line's difficult, aside from the from the 158 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: your brain telling you you want it, is that I 159 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: think for people, and this is going to upset you know, 160 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: those of you whose dad died of lung cancer, they 161 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: enjoy the sensation of a cigarette. You know, you always 162 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: see the line in the movie like Dennis Hopper and 163 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: True Romance where you know, he wants that cigarette before 164 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: he knows he's about to die. He wants to smoke 165 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: that Dunhill was it Dunhill right before he dies. There 166 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: are people who when they get nervous, they like to 167 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: smoke a cigarette. There are people who while they're working, 168 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: they'll go out and smoke a cigarette. And for us 169 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: non smokers, I'm a cigar smoker and a cigarette smoker. 170 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: For us non smokers, there is this idea that they 171 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: don't want that. It's just it's it's addictive. They don't 172 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: want it. They want to quit, but but actually, if 173 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: they're honest, it gives them a feeling that they enjoy 174 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: and some addiction. I don't think oxycoton fits here because 175 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: you get dope Seaton hid, But for some people the 176 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: addiction is that they like the feeling it gives them. 177 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: And so for a lot of people who drink too much, 178 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: for instance, they're addicted to alcohol, there is this idea 179 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: that they just need to quit so they can be happy. 180 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: But for that person, they have learned that that is 181 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: their happiness. It's dysfunctional. It's leading them to dwis, it's 182 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: leading them to beating their wives, it's leading them to 183 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: being unable to make it to work the next day. 184 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: They're all those things that go with it, but at 185 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: that moment, they're craving what it does for them. And 186 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people, social media, as 187 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: much as we say we hate it, for a lot 188 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: of people, well, social media is more enjoyable than the alternative. 189 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: Nobody's putting a gun to your head and saying bury 190 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: your head in the phone and don't come up for air, 191 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: and do it for hours on end. Like people who game, 192 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: nobody makes some game, they enjoy it. I think that 193 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: the engagement of the phone now, I think the developing 194 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: brain is not ready for it, just like drugs and 195 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: a lot of other things. But I think with the 196 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: phone and social media, which is what most of this 197 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: is about, I think they like the sense of connected. 198 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: It's you may be one of those people. I know 199 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: I am. I enjoy when I get home, I put 200 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: my phone away. I have to, or I wouldn't focus 201 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: on what's important. I like to eat with the family. 202 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: That's important to me, not because I'm some righteous person. 203 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: I enjoy. That's a thing I enjoy. And I like 204 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: to talk about everybody's day. I like to hear. It's 205 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: funny because they always say I don't want to talk 206 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: because I talk all day, and I want to talk 207 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: when I get home. I want to hear about their day. 208 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: I want to hear other people's problems, other people's challenges, 209 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: other people's successes, what other people have learned but I 210 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: have noted. When you consider social media and the fact 211 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: that people are on it, people who call themselves news junkies, 212 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: those people can often be very anxious, very fidgety, very cynical, 213 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: very afraid the world's going to come to an end 214 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: because the algorithm is spiraling them back into a tighter 215 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: and tighter pattern of the same news story repeated multiple times, 216 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: so it becomes sort of an echo chamber. So one 217 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: of the things I like to do is I keep 218 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: one folder in my inbox. I get all these news 219 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: stories sent to me. I keep one folder where they 220 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: all go, and I go in and clear it out. 221 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: But before I clear it out, I like to read 222 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: news stories, and I like to read them starting current 223 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: and going back. And it's amazing to me how often 224 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: I will realize, oh, that was just a week ago. 225 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: That was the biggest news item ever. The whole world 226 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: was going to come to an end over that, And 227 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: it really helps you understand. Once you process that, you go, 228 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: wait a second. That's what news does. It creates a 229 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: sense of urgency. You have to watch this right now. 230 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: This is breaking news right now. You must watch this. 231 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: It's that important. You've got a sounder that comes in, 232 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: you got it on your screen. I gotta know this. 233 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: I got to stop what I'm doing right now. I 234 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: gotta stop living to hear what's happening right now. But 235 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: that's not necessarily what's happening. That's just what the news 236 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: director feeds you based on what they believe. Will they 237 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: got a line in the water, you choose whether to 238 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: eat that worm or not and go in that boat. 239 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I thought i'd read to 240 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: you from some of these headlines going backwards and some 241 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: of them I enjoy just because they're silly and we didn't. 242 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 10: Get to them. 243 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: Houston thieves steel pot of Manudo, all right, free Tiger 244 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: fans wear Tiger Woods mugshot t shirts at Houston Open. 245 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: That was fun. Meteorologists still pushing climate change height Now, 246 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: mind you, these are headlines written by my team. So 247 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: some of these like that was USA Today. USA Today's 248 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: story was about climate change and it's the end of 249 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: the world. Some of these are the way my team 250 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: perceives that story, making fun of it, mocking it. And 251 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: some of these are real headlines that they just cut 252 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: and pasted. But I hope what you get out of this, 253 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: and we'll do it in the next segment. I do this. 254 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: It's an exercise to make it all makes sense and 255 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: to realize, oh, none of it matters that much. All 256 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: that really matters is people right around me. As expected, 257 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: no Kings protests were more bizarre than you would imagine. 258 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: That was from Monday of this week, after the weekend 259 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: of No Kings. By the way, that's only been a 260 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: few days. CEO gives one point five million dollars to 261 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: workers to avoid being shot. You know that United Healthcare 262 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: thing that really really really rattles some people, that rattled 263 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: some CEOs, that rattled the C suite in a big way. 264 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: I think it made a lot of people when I 265 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: guess maybe you could argue that that was their hope, 266 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: is that it would make these people maybe a little 267 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: more merciful and compassionate. Oh, I think it's happened. I do. 268 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's scared a lot of 269 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: those people. Extra security at the FBO. 270 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: No. 271 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I clear out my folders just to keep some sanity 272 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: and you know, not be a hoarder. And when I 273 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: do so, I do it in reverse order. I do 274 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: it starting most recent and going back, and it gives 275 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: me perspective because a story that happened yesterday, I go, Okay, 276 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: that's a big story. A story that happened a week ago, 277 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: you go, that's a nothing story. But a week ago 278 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: it was the big story, right And it's good to 279 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: remember it is the goal of media to make every 280 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: story that's happening right now the biggest story ever. Otherwise 281 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: you would say, I don't need to watch that right now. 282 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: I'll go outside in garden. I don't need to watch 283 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: that right now. I'll spend time with my family. But 284 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: if they can get you to stop and pay attention 285 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: right now, that's their job, all right. Trump weighs military 286 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: plan to seize Iran uranium. That was on Monday.

You got some really really bad referees. Baseball 292 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: is a great example, because the ball is where it is. 293 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: There's no doubting that. I wonder how much him being 294 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: black prevented them from firing him before. Now I bet 295 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: it had something to do with it, because nobody, you know, 296 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: they don't want to. That's the problem that people are 297 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: scared to have the same system you would have for 298 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: somebody else.

I think Trump he's 341 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: not panic, but he understands that the types of tweaks 342 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: you need to make to improve the quality of life 343 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: of Americans. To the extent that government can do that. 344 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: You are fast approaching a state the point a phase 345 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: where if you're going to do that, you have to 346 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: do that. For instance, there needs to be a rate cut. 347 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: Trump can't directly control that, but there needs to be 348 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: a dramatic rate cut, maybe one hundred basis points or more, 349 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: in order to make the borrowing costs of a new 350 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: home affordable to homeowners, to get them to take the 351 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: leap to buy that new home, to get people to 352 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: spend money. I think there's a lot of money on 353 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: the sidelines right now. There's a lot of weight and 354 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: see money right now, and once that is unleashed, you're 355 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: going to see what looks like a quote unquote recovery. 356 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: But actually that's not what it is. It's not that 357 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: the fundamentals changed, it's that people were less scared. The 358 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: consumer confidence level is a poll that has been taken 359 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: for year after year after year. It is not scientific. 360 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: It is simply a question of do you think things 361 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: are going to get better? Because we know if people 362 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: think things are going to get better financially, they spend money. 363 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: If they think things are going to get worse, they 364 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: hoard money. When people hoard money, business slows down. When 365 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: people spend money, business speeds up. Now, long term, you 366 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: don't necessarily want people borrowing more money any money they 367 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: don't have. And some people could be wrong. They may 368 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: be wrong in their exuberance. Maybe things aren't going to 369 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: get better but they think they are, or they may 370 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: be wrong in their conservativeness, they think things are going 371 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: to get worse when in fact that was the time 372 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: to spend. Contrarian investors make the money. You know, people 373 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: who rush out and buy a stock because it has spiked, 374 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: they don't make the money because you're usually on the 375 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: back side of it. You're not on the tail of 376 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: the continued upward trend. You're buying when other people have 377 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: started selling, and other people who dump when prices drop 378 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: end up dumping at the low when that was when 379 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: savvy investors buy. Savvy investors are contrarians. They buy when 380 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: others are selling, they sell when others are buying. Easier 381 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: said than done, though definitely easier said than done, because 382 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people, even if you under stand that 383 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: that is generally fundamentally sound financial advice, it's hard to 384 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: go in when everyone else is running out. But just 385 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: this and that that. Look, that's that's less human nature. 386 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: I can't remember Scott a welcome MOUA San Francisco judge 387 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: is given a thug probation for the manslaughter of an 388 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: eighty four year old man. The so called Asian activists 389 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: behind the Stop Asian Hate movement voted and supported Democrats. 390 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: And this is what a liberal judge has just done. 391 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: San Francisco thug who assaulted an elderly Asian man. The 392 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: old man was out on the wall. The thug threw 393 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: him to the ground, absolutely unprovoked and killed him. And 394 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: now the guy's been given probation, which is a nice 395 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: way of saying, if you kill another person, then we'll 396 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: punish you. Your punishment is we'll punish you on the 397 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: next one. Oh okay, because we're not serious. San Francisco 398 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: judge Linda Colfax, who's a left wing nut, apparently says 399 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: public safety would be served if the thru if the 400 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: thug were given probation, because prison would have a bad 401 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: impact on him. So now he's the victim. The Great 402 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: Adam Smith famously said, mercy to the guilty is cruelty 403 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: to the victim, And it's true It is amazing to 404 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: me how the American left. When a person murders, somebody 405 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: can see that person as a victim and forget that 406 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: there's a real victim. Here is the story about ABC 407 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: seven out of San Francisco. 408 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 11: Everyone disappointed, and in our community it's very heartbroken. 409 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 12: Heartbreak and deep disappointment. Loved ones say nothing will bring 410 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 12: back Visha Rattana Pakti, and they say the sentence a 411 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 12: judge gave Antoine Watson for killing Grandpa Visha does not 412 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 12: bring about justice. He's on probation for killing our father 413 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 12: in law and it's unacceptable and I think. 414 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: Everyone knows it. 415 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 12: A judge sentenced Watson a total of eight years in 416 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 12: state prison. Watson will get credit for good behavior and 417 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 12: time served for his five years in county jail. Instead 418 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 12: of going to state prison, the judge ordered Watson to 419 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 12: be released on probation. 420 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: On an eight year sentence. 421 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 11: She made the choice to suspend the remainder of time 422 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 11: that he would have had to serve because it's not 423 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 11: what we wanted. 424 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: This is not what we believed was justice. 425 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 11: We do recognize his age at the time of this crime, 426 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 11: but we also recognize the heinousness of what he did 427 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 11: to an. 428 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 12: Elderly man who Watson was nineteen at the time and 429 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 12: testified he did not notice Grandpa Visha's age or race, 430 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 12: but was angry after a bad day. Many people believe 431 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 12: the attack was because Grandpa v Show was Asian, but 432 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 12: the case was not charged as a hate crime. 433 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: My father was eight four years old was killed on 434 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: this freight. No one should be hum with the reason because. 435 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 12: A bad day, and the Deputy Public Defender says watson 436 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 12: suspended eight year prison sentence is appropriate. She also says 437 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 12: it emphasizes rehabilitation. 438 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 13: I think that the result today is a reflection of 439 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 13: evidence based science, fact understanding of how we truly hold 440 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 13: people accountable in a way that leads to real public safety. 441 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 12: In terms and conditions for Watson's probation include close supervision 442 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 12: and monitoring. Watson has to live with his mother and Hayward, 443 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 12: go to whiy therapy sessions, and stay away from the 444 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 12: neighborhood where the Visha family lives. 445 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: So imagine the family of that man. Imagine the family 446 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: they have to see the video of their loved one, 447 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: this eighty four year old man. They have to see 448 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: that video of him being murdered, and you're not going 449 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: to bring him back. But at least there would be 450 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: a sense of justice. At least they would know that 451 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: America cares and won't allow somebody to get away with that. 452 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: But America doesn't care and did that man will be 453 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: back out on the streets again, and you know what 454 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: he'll do. He'll do it again. He will absolutely do 455 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: it again, no questions asked. And it makes you wonder 456 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: how did we get to this point. I spent a 457 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: lot of time studying this, and I'll do my best 458 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: to explain it. First of all, for you to understand it, 459 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: you have to you have to prepare yourself to put 460 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: aside your set of values. Your set of values is 461 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: when someone wrongs another person, you punish the person who 462 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: did the wrong to start with out of respect for 463 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: the victim. Secondly, to prevent the bad person from doing 464 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: that again, whether you're teaching them a lesson or throwing 465 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: them in a cage to literally hand them from being 466 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: able to do this again. So for you to understand 467 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: the American Left and how they fell in love with 468 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: this idea, you first have to understand that this is 469 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: a mindset that comes from university professors, law school professors, 470 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: and it comes from a school of thought that is 471 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: not Christian in nature. It comes from a school of 472 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: thought that makes someone into a victim in every other 473 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: aspect of his life. This came out of the Civil 474 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: rights movement, and the idea was, if most of our 475 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: purpose are black and they're committing violent crimes, we need 476 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: to make it where they're the victim. The Civil rights 477 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: movement had to make blacks into victims to win over 478 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 1: white liberals, and in many cases blacks were victims, so 479 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: that was accurate. But in order to do that, or 480 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: once they did that, they developed very powerful language, They 481 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: developed a very powerful paradigm. Whites became suspicious that blacks 482 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: are wronged at every turn. So let's put blacks into 483 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: every class even if they don't. Let's hire blacks over 484 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: whites because they can't get hired. Let's put blacks into 485 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: this school because they can't get admission. Let's give blacks 486 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: promotions even if they don't score well in the test. 487 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: By the way, it's an unfair test. It's a white 488 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: people test. Well, we don't do that in football or basketball. 489 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: Why on earth do we do it anywhere else? Why 490 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: don't we say compete. Nobody says, you know, we don't 491 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: have enough black people playing basketball, We're going to require 492 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: more black people. Why because blacks are already performing there. 493 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: Why because in the black community, quote unquote, basketball is favored, 494 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: it is pushed, it is encouraged. And so as a 495 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: result of that, kids are playing basketball from the earliest ages. 496 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: Their dad might be off in prison and get out, 497 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: they'll play ball together. They'll find the basketball court around 498 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: the corner. They'll find mentors, they will compete, They'll have coaches. 499 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: Don't underestimate the role of the coach in the life 500 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: of young fatherless men in city. Mayor if we could 501 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: replace or compliment, that's what e not ironman compliment add 502 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: to the role of coaches in the life of young 503 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: black men in this country with life. Coaches that would 504 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: teach them about business, how to hustle, not steal, not thieve, 505 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: hustle
