Biden Wants to Debate because He Knows He's Losing | PM Show

Episode Transcript

(00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air. One reporter's very worried, very anxious

(00:29):
of the news that there would bea presidential debate on June twenty seventh.
Lots of emails. What do youthink about this? As is usually the
case, I take a little timeto ponder for our opinions, why we
don't break news on our show.If I tell you there's a shooting and

(00:50):
the guy who was pulling the triggerwas a white guy, because that's what's
being reported, and the next dayit turns out he's a Muslim or a
black guy, and that they liedto us so that the narrative would be
set, you should question my judgment. So I don't try to break news.
It's not that important that you havea news story a minute after it's

(01:12):
filed or a minute after it happens. It's more useful to have it correct
accurate. So I think the rushis silly. And by the way,
since we're on the subject, theidea of exclusive news. Tonight only on
Channel thirty two, we have theexclusive story. Do you really think that

(01:37):
anybody's going, man, y'all arebetter than the other guys, because y'all
have this story. No, wejust want the story. You wasted our
time with its exclusive stuff. SoPresident Trump and now Joe Biden will debate
June twenty seventh, and there ismuch concern to of this. Well,

(02:00):
what you should make of it,to start is the people around Biden who
need Biden to be president so thatthey can actually run the country. They're
in a panic. This is avery early debate. June twenty seventh is

(02:24):
insanely early. Mind you, theDemocrat Convention is not till August nineteenth.
Nineteenth through the twenty second is aDemocrat convention. This is fully two months
before that. So why your thoughtis, why would Biden agree to do

(02:46):
this. He's going to look afool. He might fall over or fall
asleep. He might say jeez,Hamburger or Buggles, just anything could happen.
Yes, all of that is true. We already know that if he

(03:08):
had a commanding lead over Trump,he would not debate. I've been around
campaigns and in campaigns for a longtime, and I'm gonna go ahead and
tell you a very simple rule.You can take to the bank. The
person demanding, begging, threatening,accosting the person wanting the debate is losing.

(03:31):
That is always the case. Peoplegot mad at Greg Abbott, the
governor of Texas, during the lastcampaign, that he would not debate his
opponent. He was up ten percentagepoints. You have nothing to gain by
debating your opponent, nothing to gain, right, because first of all,

(03:58):
you give them an opportunity to dothat which they cannot do, and that
is wound you. They can't woundyou out on the stone. They can't
wound you with TV spots. Especiallyif you've been in public life for a
long time, you're pretty well setthe likes and dislikes that people have of
you. But you put them inthe same room. Now you get people.

(04:23):
You get an opportunity to bring downthe person who's in the lead.
From now on, just mark thisthis November and every election season come going
forward. When you see the guywho says he's scared of me, he
won't debate me. The person sayingthat is losing. The incumbent who is

(04:46):
winning the election is never going tosay let's have a debate. It can
only help the underdog. You knowthere's something to be said for or you
don't expose yourself to something for whichthere is no upside for you and only
upside for the other guy because he'sgonna throw haymakers. I don't care how

(05:14):
great a boxer is. Their manageris always concerned when they've got a challenger
that that guy might accidentally and it'shappened, that guy might accidentally throw a
haymaker that connects and knock my guyout. It could happen. So June

(05:34):
twenty seventh, right around the corner, six weeks away. The Biden folks
are not looking at November. Thisis important to understand. The Biden folks
are not demanding a debate right nowon June twenty seventh, so early because

(05:56):
they want to beat Donald Trump inNovember. The Biden folks are under a
lot of pressure, not by Republicans, by Democrats and the media. The
big boys cannot lose to Trump.You have to realize that billionaires are built
different than you. Billionaires take winningand losing to a whole different level.

(06:21):
If they lose, the sense ofloss to them is overwhelming for most people.
If they lose, they get backup, They oh, you know
what, shake it? Not billionaires. That's why people don't understand the crazy
things that will happen in a billionairedivorce. She and he are both fighting

(06:46):
to it's not about the kids,it's not about who actually gets the money.
It's about winning and making him orher lose. And they can be
bitter and mean and vicious and petty. Well, those people, it's not
only that they hate Trump, itis this is a different emotion that billionaires

(07:13):
have. They can't let Trump winbecause that means Trump's better than them.
Most people think, boy, ifI was a billionaire, I wouldn't be
doing and then fill in the blankof what billionaires are doing running for president.
I wouldn't be doing an interview.I wouldn't be That's why you're not

(07:35):
a billionaire. Billionaires are built different. Why would Michael Bloomberg run for president?
This billionaire because having all the moneyin the world was no longer enough
to satisfy He needed. What Trumpneeded the power and the popularity. Trump

(08:01):
loves going to rallies. He doesn'tjust go to rallies because they build his
name. He feeds off of it. And what's amazing is almost no other
politician does. That's where he summonsthe energy. How does he do it?

(08:28):
I mean I'm well over twenty yearsyounger than him, and I've hit
the hustings on a campaign trail,but never getting on a plane like this
when you've been in jeopardy of goingto jail all day in the course and
then to hopper. It's incredible livelast learning doing it big on the Michael

(08:56):
Berry Show in Houston today. Wemade a lot of cops happy. That
says that we served I don't knowthree four hundred cops today barbecue. I
say free barbecue. It was freeto them. I got, I offered
it up, said whoever wants topay for it can pay for it,

(09:18):
and ty Strickland with fixedmislab dot com. Nice fellow, I said, I
write the check. Not only didhe write the check for the barbecue,
but he came down to the PoliceOfficers Union Hall and as they pulled up
and got their their bag of food, he insisted on giving every single one
of them their bag of food andshaking their hand and thanking them for their

(09:41):
service. Now, my brother,having been a cop for over thirty years,
I can tell you this, youdon't get a lot of thank yous
when you put your uniform on andyou strap your gun on, and you
put your badge on and you getin your squad car start driving. It

(10:01):
doesn't crack over the radio that youknow you're needed to come try one of
Miss Smith's cornbread pieces of hot watercorn bread, or Miss Jones would like
you to come and try these newcupcakes if you could get there, you

(10:24):
know, double fast. We've gota five alarm need. This ain't like
they call me the fireman from fromGeorge Straight. This is not like that.
You are getting a call that somethingbad is happening, and the person
who you're going to encounter when youget there is one of two people.

(10:46):
Either a person who does not wantto be apprehended and sent to jail or
prison and is willing willing to fightyou or shoot you to keep that from
happening, or a person who's avictim who's either dead or has been victimized.
And some people misplace their anger sothey're mad at you that somebody did

(11:11):
this to them. So it's justnice, you know. I'm always amazed
when I say nice things about cops, when people will say I hate cops,
And when you dig down, youfind out that some guy pulled them
over and was having a bad dayand was a you know, on a
power kick it. I'm not goingto deny that happens, but I'm going

(11:31):
to tell you this. If Isay, you know, somebody says they
bought a new car, nobody says, oh, the salesman, because there's
some bad salesman out There's some badteachers, there's some I think, some
people who cannot follow the basic culturalnorms. You know, they feel they're

(11:52):
entitled to drive one hundred miles anhour on the freeway. Like it or
not. Most people will vote andsupport a law that says you can't drive
like an absolute maniac and kill peopleon the highway, But the people who
do it are angry that they're beingtyrannized. I'm against the deep state,
I'm against the big government. I'magainst the tyranny. But we still have

(12:16):
to have as libertarian as I am, we still have to have some people
out there who keep basic norms inorder. Basic norms like jaywalkin. You
want to jaywalk, you're only puttingyourself in danger. And if you get
hit jaywalkin here, you know,it's FAFO con deal. Anyway, So

(12:41):
that was a nice thing and goodcompany. Barbecue in Houston gave us a
great deal on it, and wejust cooked this up yesterday. So a
lot of people had to make hayto make this happen, and I'm grateful
for that. I think we haveto do more things like this because they
are there what we're here for tocreate good moments. Speaking of which,

(13:07):
next Friday, which is what thetwenty fourth or moment. Next Friday is
our annual graduation special. So ifyou have advice for graduates, or you
received good advice, tell me thatin your email. Send along your email.
People get mad if their email isnot read for Mother's Day, Father's

(13:31):
Day. When you send it inwhen I'm on the air, I may
see one right then and pull it. But most of the time I read
those ahead of the time, andI stack them so that I've got them
ready. So if you have greatand the shorter the better, don't write
me a novel. But if youhave great advice for graduates, share that
and let me share it with alot of graduates. It being graduation time,

(13:54):
and for those of you out therewho are getting ready to speak at
a graduation, or you're an administratorwho's planning a graduation, let me just
go ahead and tell you this rightnow. I'm gonna do everybody. I'm
gonna do every parent and grandparent andloved one out there and graduate a favor
by telling you this. Nobody comesto the graduation for the graduation speaker.

(14:20):
Nobody, not one. You don'teven need a speaker. People come out
to see their son or daughter,grandson or daughter, niece or nephew graduate.
That's why they're there. Everything elseyou do at the graduation is a

(14:43):
time waster between them watching the threeseconds that their loved one walks across the
stage. Ponder that for a moment, put yourself in their shoes. I
don't know why people we can't understandthis. I'm the president of this institution.

(15:03):
I shall now get up here andlive out my fantasy since y'all are
forced to listen to me and havea speech about all gost beginnings and new
beginnings and endings. And it's notan ending, it's a beginning. It's
not a door closing, it's adoor. Nobody cares. We've literally all
heard it a thousand times. Knockit off. It's a huge waste of

(15:28):
time. And then all the otherpeople. I'm so honored. We know
you're honored. We know you're honored. We wish you had laryngitis. Please,
we know you're honored. We alreadyknow what you're gonna say before you
say it. There's nothing you're gonnasay. We didn't come out here to
be inspired. It ain't church.We came out here to watch our loved
one graduate. Every time I meta graduation, I think to myself,

(15:54):
when I leave here tonight, I'mgonna write a letter and say, Hey,
something y'all should consider in the future. How about you give the speaker
a limit on the length of hisspeech and you stick to that, and
then everything else you knock off.We don't need all this, We don't
need all the accolades. Literally nobodyout there wants to hear it. And

(16:15):
it's not just that they don't wantit. They desperately wish you would not
do this, And yet here weare. We persist. And I'll tell
you why we persist. When peopleplan an event, they don't plan an
event on Friday night or Saturday nightin the sweltering Houston humidity. They don't

(16:45):
plan an event where people have rushedto get there. There's all the stress
of finding a parking spot, ofhauling themselves up, climbing up into the
bleachers. They don't plan an eventover people having to wear being choked,
wearing a necktie because they don't weara necktie, and wearing clothes that feel
like a clown suit to them becausethey don't wear suits. In the heat

(17:11):
on sitting on a metal bench bleacherthat every high school in America has,
they don't plan it in that environment. If they did, they'd go,
it's hot, it's hot out here, let's get this thing. Yeah,
yeah, Now you should have toplan the graduation on a Friday night in
the Houston heat, and that wouldkind of give you. Then you'd go,

(17:34):
let's get out of here. Yeah, that's how we feel. Michael
Berry's show. So let's talk aboutthe debate. Biden is in trouble.
November is still a long way away. You don't want to be trailing this
early. You'd rather be leading.But you don't need to panic. I've

(18:02):
studied closely every election going back toabout twenty eight and I mean where we
were. The concept of polling isless than a hundred years old. And
there's a famous story about I won'twaste your time on now, But Wenda

(18:25):
Wilkie and FDR and how that there'sthe Dewey defeats Truman headline that Truman held
up because he had won and cheated. By the way, there is Nixon's
win over Kennedy in sixty when Kennedycheated, just as the Democrats did in

(18:47):
twenty twenty. Kennedy cheated, andin fact, it was so egregious how
bad Kennedy had cheated that he evenhad to try to diffuse it with a
joke by saying, my dad sentme a telegram and said, I'm not

(19:07):
paying for a landslide. Oh,isn't that cute? So we're now making
jokes about the fraud that your fatherundertook. People in Texas think that Johnson,
that Kennedy was elected based on deadpeople voting in Texas, which Lyndon
Johnson's team coordinated. That is true, But it wasn't just Texas in Illinois

(19:33):
where the cheating was bad. Itwas all over the country, and Nixon
rightfully would have been elected. Itwas an era of prosperity under Eisenhower and
his young vice president Richard Nixon,who of course had been smeared personally shades

(19:55):
of Trump again, these people beenat this for a long time. Gives
the checkers speech in his career andkind of saves that. You know,
his wife with the modest coat,and you're told that Kennedy looked good on
TV whereas Nixon was sweating, andall those are all those are the lore
of the election. The fact isthe Democrats cheated, and we could go

(20:22):
through each one. Gerald Ford inseventy six was losing by almost thirty percentage
points to Jimmy Carter and he closedthat to a whisker on election Day.
So a lot can happen. AllI'm saying is a lot can happen.
Biden isn't debating Trump at the endof June because he needs to change the

(20:48):
election for November. They are workingto get Biden out. But this is
a very very tenuous type of thing. There's no playbook for this, there's
no set of rules. The wayit works is the powers that be and

(21:08):
not all of them and not inunison, and it's not universal, it's
not unanimous. They start making callsand they start going, hey, Joe's
gotta step down and someone and theyso they tell the the equivalent of James
Carville and Paul Lagull. They tellthe Sydney bloomin Doose. They tell the
the the the operatives and the kindof the guys that are respected. And

(21:34):
so there's not an official role thatpeople have, but they're a connector and
they're a person that is is respectedin this world, in this particular smaller
world. So some calls go outand they go, hey, we meet
for lunch in New York next week, and there they say that they're expensive
restaurant and they go, what youwhat'd you want? You know, I'm

(21:56):
wondering about Biden. I saw somethingthe other day and they go, yeah,
a lot of people are telling methat they well what are people saying?
Well, they're asking me to talkto him about stepping down or what
do you think? That's a complicatedissue. And so they want to push
they want to put pressure right,they want to push him off the cliff.

(22:19):
But the problem when you go forthe king as you better get him
because if you try to push himoff a cliff and by some stroke of
luck, he ends up the nomineeand they cheat the election. Again.
Now you're a prominent Democrat who haslost your access with Biden. So that's

(22:44):
a real problem. You don't wantto do that. Most of these guys
are chicken. You think they're tough, but they're not the chicken. Especially
business guys. They don't like totake a position. They like the operatives
and the consultants of the James Carvelsand these types of people. They like
these people to do the public stuff. They'll pay someone else to have an
opinion. They don't want to havean opinion. They want to count money.

(23:07):
So Biden is getting a lot ofpressure, and so his people are
saying, you got to step down, and he doesn't want to step down.
If Biden wanted to step down,he could step down tomorrow. No
one could stop him. If Bidendidn't want to be president. Biden's not

(23:27):
under any pressure to remain in theWhite House. Now he's got a very
very He's in a real pickle.This would make for a great Samuel Beckett
one act play. The minute hewalks out of the White House, he
can no longer pardon his son Hunter. And you know that Hunter has committed

(23:51):
a lot of crimes. But neverforget nobody knows all the crimes Hunter has
committed, except for Hunter and restassured. However many crimes you think Hunter
has committed, He's committed way morethan that. They've just not been discovered

(24:11):
or written about. So Biden isin a real pickle because he if he
ends up running for president, whichhe hopes to do, then he can't
pardon Hunter. Now he's got towait until he wins are the period in

(24:36):
between. But he also realizes hemay not be alive that way, And
so I've just put that over MichaelBarris. So, Michael Barry Show.
So Michael, are you saying thatTrump shouldn't debate Biden? You know Rush
used to talk about this, andI wish I could tell you it didn't

(24:56):
bother me. It doesn't bother me, but it does. What Rush would
talk about is how people hear abouta third of what you say and usually
take from it their own opinion,and then they'll come back to you and

(25:17):
say what you said this when yousaid nothing of the sort. Nuance is
very very difficult. So let medo my best to say what I have
to say. I don't mind ifyou disagree with me. That's fine,
that's fun, right, That's whatwe're here for. What I do mind
is is people saying that it's peopleassuming they are two extremes and you're gonna

(25:41):
be on one or the other,and there's no room for anywhere for you
to explain complicated matters. Should DonaldTrump debate Biden? Yeah? Does he
gain anything out of it? Notmuch. There's a little upside if he

(26:07):
wipes the floor with Biden and Bidenstays in the race. There's a huge
downside if he wipes the floor withBiden and Biden gets out of the race,
which is my fear. There's ahuge downside if Biden somehow, some

(26:30):
way manages to hold his own withTrump. I know, I know it's
improbable. I must confess there havebeen two or three times in the three
and a half years of his presidencywhere Biden has needed to deliver a big

(26:52):
speech and they fill This is modernmedicine at its finest. He managed to
not appear to be dead. Oneof George W. Bush's greatest assets was
he couldn't say nuclear, so hesaid nuclear, and he mispronounced words,

(27:15):
and he would metaphors and cliches.He would switch the words like the white
cop on Sanford and Son, sopeople thought he was stupid. He wasn't
stupid, not even close to it. You know. He was a guy
that was raised with the rich,powerful dad, and he did all right
out of it. But he hada pretty good gut judgment. He did.

(27:38):
But because people had such low expectationsfor him, he always surpassed them.
If you're an investor or, ifyou're in the financial industry and you
know anything about it, you knowthat when earnings reports come out, you
would rather the earning. If youknew what the earnings were going to be

(28:00):
for your company this quarter, andyou knew it was eighty million, you
would hope that the number they hadthe analyst had projected was seventy. Because
when you surpass the earnings expectation,your stock shoots up. You're better than

(28:22):
we thought. You were, samesame company. If the projection was ninety
and you hit eighty, you stillsold eighty million, you still had revenues
eighty million. But if they believedyou were going to do ninety, now
you didn't meet expectations, your stockprice dives. You sold just as much,
exactly as much, but the expectationyou want expectations. If the ninth

(28:48):
batter in your lineup comes up tobat, and gets a walk. You
are hooting and hollering because you assumehe's an ounce right. Low expectations can
be your friend. Biden goes intothat debate with the expectation being that he

(29:12):
stumbles on his way out, mumbles, stumbles, squints. If he just
does more than that, he givespeople an opportunity to say, we've been
unfair to him. Look at him, he's presidential. Look at him.

(29:33):
We're not saying things that are accurate. Look at how well he did.
And believe it or not, dueto the drugs they put in him,
the sundowning they do where they prephim in it, he won't be seen
probably for much of the month ofJune, and certainly not for a little
while before that debate. They willbe. They will be taking that mummy

(29:57):
and injecting him full of drug.And it makes a big difference, it
really does. And because of that, he will most likely I hope he
doesn't. You can ridicule me ifhe just stumbles and bumbles and all of
that. And see, I toldhim I would love for that to happen,

(30:18):
but I also fear that it doesn't. And then we expected it to
happen, and now We're sitting therewith a egg on our face and that's
never good. Also, and nobodywants to hear this. Trump is not
a superstar debater. There was areason he wouldn't debate Ted Cruz one on

(30:44):
one because Cruise is a skilled,experienced debater. Donald Trump is a great
rally speaker, is not a greatdebater? Is he a better? And
Joe Biden, you better believe it. But you have the impression. And
I know this because oh, Trump'sgonna wipe the floor with him. Maybe

(31:08):
he doesn't see. Trump's a promoterand a lot for a lot of people,
politics is about cheering for your team. My guy's gonna beat your guy,
and the other guy says, no, that guy's gonna beat your guy.
Aub no role Tide, Aggie's noLonghorns. Okay, all that's fine.
That's not how my brain works.I'm looking at how this affects the

(31:33):
November election. Who our next presidentis going to be. My greatest fear
of having this debate is that Trumpdoes just destroy him and they go,
all right, Joe, You've gotto step down. We're bringing cases against
hunt. You've got to step downbecause this is a trial run for the

(31:56):
Democrats, of what they're going todo, of what it's going to look
like in the fall, and ifhe wipes the floor with him, they're
not going to let Biden keep losing. As we get closer to the election,
they're not going to let him dothat. So they're going to force
him out. That's going to bringin a fresh new candidate. And you

(32:17):
go, people ask me all thetime, well, I don't see how
Newsom can do anything. Look athow bad California. People don't realize how
bad California is. People don't knowhow bad California is. We have had
fifty years of Joe Biden. Weknow what a mumbling, bumbling fool he
is. Gavin Newsom has books ofbad things, just detail act, but

(32:42):
they're not Nobody knows them yet.We've got to start over with a fresh
faced candidate coming in offering progressive viewsin a white male that's going to appeal
to some labor folks, and wegot we got to knock him out in
a few months. It's it's nota small old Look. I'm gonna do
everything I can to help Trump win. I'm just telling you this worries me.

(33:04):
This concerns me. It's that time. Time, time, time,
Luck and load. The Michael VerieShow is on the air. Mark Penn

(33:31):
is a Democrat polster. I willassume most people don't know who Mark Penn
is, so I'm going to tellyou he's not just a pollster. That's
what what he's described at when he'squoted. Mark Penn was the brains behind

(33:52):
the Hillary Clinton campaign. Mark Penn, p E. N n Is the
guy who first exposed the Barack Obamagoat herding outfit from his visit to Africa.

(34:13):
You remember that picture. That picturepacked a punch. That picture was
part of about a two week offensivethat Hillary's campaign conducted behind the scenes,
which included, but was not limitedto, Barack Obama was born in Africa.

(34:34):
O. Sorry, Barack Obama wasnot born on American soil. Barack
Obama's father was part of the MauMau Rebellion. He was a very bad
man. It's true. He wasa communist Marxist who hated white people.
He died driving with his harem inthe car. Well, long long story

(35:00):
that I won't get into now.Barack Obama spent his childhood in Indonesia.
Barack Obama's mother was loose. Hewas later raised by his grandparents. Barack
Obama grew up in all of thesethings. Came from Mark Penn. Barack

(35:22):
Obama went to Poonaho, one ofthe most exclusive schools in America. So
he's not a common man. He'snot some black guy from the South side
of Chicago. Barack Obama's gay wentto gay house, gay bathhouses. Barack
Obama was a pot smoker at OccidentalCollege in California. What was the other

(35:45):
one? Barack Obama is actually BarrySotero, Barry Sotero who changed his name
for whatever reason. Barack Obama.Oh, Barack Obama went to the Reverend
Jeremiah Writes church. It's a blacknationalist church. People don't realize. John

(36:07):
McCain didn't have the cahoneyes to exposethose things. He may say, oh,
he served, he was a powfine, but politically he was weak.
The only thing John McCain stood forpolitically was making a lot of money

(36:30):
for himself. That's why he gotcaught up in the cheatah in the Keating
scandal. John McCain's entire life wasspending forty years in Washington, d c.
Enriching himself and hating people like you, which he made very clear.
And that's why at his funeral,the Democrats and Republican establishment all rushed to

(36:52):
his funeral to tell us how greathe was. It was important you understand,
Trump's not invited because Trump's a badguy, even though he's the president.
Trump's not anybody because Trump's a badguy. But John McCain's a good
man. And look at Barack Obamasaying he's a good man. And they're
all there together, the Bushes andthe Romneys and the mccains. And then
look at this, we're all together, and this is who should run the

(37:13):
country, not not Trump. Andall you unwashed heathens out there, you
ban sheees, we can't have youout there running things, some populist Republican
No. So Mark Penn was theguy back to it who was trying to

(37:34):
get white labor to vote for Hillary, which they didn't want to do because
she's a bitch. Everybody knows it. And people actually feel sorry for Bill
Clinton, believe it or not.People actually feel sorry for slick Willie that

(37:55):
no matter how bad he is,no matter how much philandering he does,
that man has had to tolerate her. Everybody knows he doesn't sleep in the
same bed with her, but hehas had to tolerate her temper, tantrums,
her meanness, her vile, vicious, petty, ugly ways. She

(38:16):
is what my grandmother would refer toas ugly. And that doesn't mean not
win a beauty contest. When mygrandmother said a person was ugly or being
ugly, it had a certain meaning. It's distasteful, it's unpleasant that it's
Hillary Clinton. Mark Penn was herguy, and Mark Penn was trying to

(38:39):
win white labor for her. Allthat by way of saying, when Obama
got elected or sorry, when Obamawon the nomination, that nomination was Hillary's
to win. If you go backand listen to Hannity and Rush in seven,

(39:00):
everyone was losing their mind because Hillarywas going to win the nomination and
we didn't have a good candidate aftereight years of George W. Bush.
Most Republicans, which turned out tobe the case, we're happy to let
the Democrats have it because they weretired of the Democrats bashing them. Here,

(39:20):
you take it, that's what ourside does. They were tired of
the Cindy Sheehans they were tired ofhaving to defend the presidency. They you
know what, y'all can have it. Oh he's black. Oh that's great.
Let us show you how nice we'llbe to him. So now we
won't be racist, because the storyat the time was if we have a

(39:45):
black president, then we won't haveto be called racist anymore. This will
prove look at us, it'll begreat, it'll be great. We will
have a black president. And he'ssuch a well guy. He's really post
political. He's not really a partisanguy at all. He looks good,

(40:07):
he can shoot a basketball, he'scool. Hell of Republicans can vote for
him. He's a great guy.How did that turn out? How did
that turnout? He's also a verymean guy. And that meant the end
of Mark Penn's influence for a verylong time. And that brings us to

(40:30):
where we are now. Mark Penna guy who I'm not a fan of,
But Mark Penn has a lot ofhistory in the Democrat Party and his
judgment means something. This is whatMark Penn says about why Joe Biden is

(40:51):
debating Donald Trump in the first place. Well, seven trillion dollar budget,
unpopular immigration border from the most partpeople seems to be open, unpopular,
pushing EV's and not giving people achoice unpopular. He's got some real issues
there that he's going to have to, you know, figure out how to
present to the American people. Bigtax increases. He's going to say,

(41:14):
it's about corporations and the wealthy.Donald Trump is going to say, it's
going to hit the average person.Let this debate continue. Obviously it's uphill
for President Biden, or he wouldn'tbe debating in the first place. That's
coming from a Democrat. Mind you, this is Democrats saying this. They're
ready to be they don't want tolose to Trump. By get this is

(41:35):
coming from a Democrat. Well,seven trillion dollar budget unpopular, Immigration border
from the most people seems to beopen, unpopular, pushing EV's and not
giving people a choice unpopular. He'sgot some real issues there that he's going
to have to, you know,figure out how to present to the American
people. Big tax increases. He'sgoing to say, it's about corporations and

(41:55):
the wealthy. Donald Trump is goingto say it's going to hit the average
par Let this debate continue. Obviously, it's uphill for President Biden for he
wouldn't be debating in the first play. I haven't had a chance to get
to this because this debate has occupieda lot of my thoughts for the last
few days. But it's time.Illegal immigration, it's the number one issue.

(42:16):
We've got to stay on it.Illegal immigration has been a pox on
this land ever since Joe Biden undideverything that Trump did to turn back the
illegals. It's been a pox inthis land for a long time, but
it's now become complete crisis. Butwhat I find fascinating is that cities that

(42:45):
used to claim they were sanctuary citiesand they would they would taunt us Texans
over you don't need to be kinderand sweeter and gentler because they didn't have
any illegals up there. Well,now they are scrambling. They've got a
mayor, this absolute nut. You'veseen him, big fat black guy with

(43:07):
glasses. He's the one that succeededBeatle Jews and is actually worse. Believe
it or not. If he hadhis way, they wouldn't have any cops.
This guy's a nut. Now heis complaining that they're having to build
camps to resettle the illegals. Listento this. The governor of Texas is

(43:28):
determined to create chaos. We havebrought calm structure to a very volatile situation.
But again, this is unprecedented,unprecedented, never in the history of
America where a local government has beenasked to build a resettlement for migrants.
But yet here we are. Well, you're mad at Texas if we don't

(43:52):
keep sending them on to you.We have to build it here if you
don't, if you don't want tobuild it, what makes you think we
want to build it? See thisis entitled black Man in America twenty twenty
four. Everybody else could be burdened, but not me. I should never

(44:12):
have to be burdened. I'm entitled. You don't think Chicago should have to
build it, but you think ElPaso should. Huh, that's cute.
I really don't know, Ramon,How this guy does it? I mean,

(44:36):
how does he do it? Isable to bring calm to the situation
all while being a black man marriedto a black wife and raising three black
children. I'm doing all of thatwith a black wife raising three black children.
Yeah, I mean he deserves extracredit. Not only is he having

(44:59):
to deal with things that his policieshave caused. But he's having to do
it with a black wife. Ohmy god, how do you do it?
That must be extra hard? Andthree black kids? How dare you
do it? That must be impossible. You white people don't understand he can't
do his job and all this otherstuff. But he is. He's so

(45:22):
amazing he doing that with a blackwife and three black kids. Now you
might say, why would he saythat. We discussed this at the time.
What he means to say is beatlejuicethe ugly lesbian who was in the
job before him. She didn't haveany demands at home. She didn't have

(45:45):
the need to try to be therefor a family. But he does.
But he can't just say I gota wife and kids I also need to
be worried about. He has tocall him a black wife and black kids.
Do you know why people like himdon't want a color blind society?
Color is everything to him. See, you white people and you advanced black

(46:14):
people have moved past a world ofseeing everything by people's skin color. But
make no mistake, people like BrandonJohnson have not. That's why he's the
mayor. That's exactly why he's themayor. Let's flip over from our black

(46:35):
mayor of Chicago to our black mayorof New York City, Eric Adams,
and he's come up with this geniusidea to kill two birds with one stone.
Listen to this plan that states thosejobs that we are in high demand,
we could expedite. How do wehave a large body of people that

(47:02):
are in our city and country thatare excellent swimmers and at the same time
we need lifeguards and the only obstacleis that we won't give them the right
to work to become a lifeguard.Oh my god, did he just say

(47:25):
that after the illegals swim over here, we could put them to work as
lifeguards. Eric, did you reallysay that? Did you follow that up
with a well, we know theblack people won't because they can't. What

(47:46):
are you thinking? You know,we got all these illegals, you know
what they used to call illegals becausethey was coming out of the water.
We could just put them hey overhere, and we'll put them up in
the chair and they could be thelifeguards because you know they can swim.

(48:06):
Who says that seriously? That wouldhave ended a white man's career. But
there's Eric, Eric Adams black mayordumbass. You know these guys who were
elected because they're black. There areplenty of talented black people corporate America,

(48:28):
the military, the church, entrepreneurs, plenty of black vision. Look at
Thomas Soul for instance, Look atClarence Thomas. But these people who were
there because of their skin color,who talk race all the time, they're
always stupid. And Eric Adams nodifferent, Brandon Johnson no different, LaToya

(48:52):
the Destroyer no different. We havea district attorney in Matton Rouge. I'll
play this in the next segment.District attorney in black route in Baton Rouge,
not miss she's a judge, andshe says that the district attorney won't
be happy until all the in wordsare in prison. Are you kidding me?

(49:15):
I think you misspelled criminals, notin words. But let's go back
to Eric. Let's play that againone more time. Plan that states those
jobs that we are in high demand, we could expedite. How do we

(49:37):
have a large body of people.He's so excited, he's going to try
to use a big word. You'regoing to expedite what he uses it slightly
Improbably he's excited. He's about towork a big word in there. Listen
to we could expedite. How dowe have a large body of people that

(49:59):
are in city and country that areexcellent swimmers and the time swimmers. How
do we know they're accent? Becausehe's never been to the border and he
doesn't he might have visited this pastyear finally, because he doesn't realize that
some of them literally just walked rightacross. What is it with these with

(50:21):
these democrats and lifeguards? Remember JoeBiden talked about being a lifeguard. Well,
the only white guy that worked asa lifeguard. Way to go,
Joe, Joe Biden. It wasnothing but blacks. Corn Pop was there.
The kids were coming up and underthe water. His hair would stick

(50:43):
up and they'd pull on his hairand they touch it all over him,
and corn Pop wanted to fight him. He was down and that end of
the pool. He's got to pulla chain out. All this is going
on, and Joe Biden said,I'll be the lifeguard. I mean,
this is crazy stuff. Well,it was the only white guy that worked
as a lifeguard. What are youreally because I've never seen a non white

(51:06):
lifeguard. I mean, I'm beinghonest, I have never seen a non
white lifeguard. I'm sure there's plenty. I've never seen one. The Michael
Berry Show. On this day ineighteen sixty six, the United States Congress
established the Nickel. We had justfinished a brutal, awful, deadly civil

(51:37):
war. The Nickel was established onthis day five since five pennies. It
was today that Nickel have the buyingpower of ninety nine since on this day.
In nineteen eighteen, the Sedition Actpassed by the United States Congress,

(52:01):
making criticism of the government during wartimean imprisonable offense. It would be repealed
less than two years later. Butthat's basically what the Democrats are doing today.
Unrelated to wartime. The Democrats andfor that matter, there the swamp,
the Republican swamp, want it tobe the case that you can't criticize

(52:24):
your government. January sixth. Wedon't have to argue over this. January
sixth was not a violent act.We all know that a lot of people
don't, but most people do.Even some good people think to that I
was trying to tell godman without asingle gun, Well, then they're dumber

(52:45):
than I thought. Nobody believes thatJanuary sixth was an act of violence January
sixth was an act of defiance.It was a criticism. These people don't
take criticism. They don't like it, and they don't believe you should be
able to engage in it. Andthey're willing to destroy you in the process.

(53:07):
That's what they don't like. Theydon't brook any quarter when it comes
to criticism. They don't think that'spart of the process. They're very thin
skinned. These are people without asense of humor, but a deep and
abiding sense of entitlement and a thirstfor power. Born on this day in

(53:29):
eighteen oh four, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, American educator who founded the first United
States It's a German concept, andthat's why it's a German word kindergarten.
Without this visionary educator Ramon, wewould have never had this piece of classic

(53:54):
American cinema. Now we're going todo something extremely fun. You're going to
play one wonderful game called Who isMy Daddy And what does he do?
Yes? Is your daddy a fireman? He's probably big. Is he a
wrestler? Is he a basketball coach? No? No, no, no,
no, no no no, Ihave a headache. It might be

(54:15):
a tumor. It's not a tumor. It's not a tumor at all.
Just so very clear. I'm notan Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, not as a
person and certainly not as an actor. And I haven't even seen that movie.
But Jim sent it to me andsaid it'd be funny if I said
that. So I watched it andsaid it. But if you're wondering if

(54:35):
I'm arguing that Arnold Schwarzenegger is,no, I think everything he was in
was trash, all of it.I don't do action aventure movies anyway,
good if you do. Born onthis day, sixty nine years ago,
Deborah Winger Because of the characters sheplayed, Deborah Winger does not get talked
about in the pantheon of great actressesbecause she played red characters. Because she

(55:01):
played working class, regional characters officerand a gentleman, an urban cowboy.
In my opinion, she's an incrediblytalented, incredibly talented actress. Here she
is in terms of endearment, which, by the way, did you know

(55:23):
there was a scene filmed on theTexas City Dyke. In terms of endearment,
A lot of people thought that wasa former nun. In this scene,
Deborah Winger is on her deathbed.Her character's name is Emma, and
she makes sure that her son nevergrows up with regrets. It is a
beautiful, beautiful act of kindness andit really shows her acting. Chops,

(55:45):
this is Debra Winger, and stoptrying to pretend like, hey me,
I mean, it's silly. Ilike you, Kethn. We listen especially
close, but you listen real hard. I said, what I know you
like me. You know it.For the last year or two you've been
pretending like you hate me. Ilove you very much. I love you

(56:10):
as much as I love anybody,as much as I love myself. And
in a few years, when Ihaven't been around to be on your tail
about something or irritating you, you'regonna remember you remember that time that I
bought you the baseball c louve whenyou thought you were too broke, you
know, or when I read youthose stories, or when I let you
goof off instead of going along.Lots of things like that, And you're

(56:31):
gonna realize that you love me.And maybe you're gonna feel badly because you
never told me. But don't Iknow that you love me? So don't
ever do that to yourself. Allright, Okay, okay, you said,
Okay, that is fantastic advice.We get so caught up in a

(57:00):
moment, in our pride and ouranger and the inability to see ahead.
When that boy's mom was gone,he would be tormented the rest of his
life. She knew that, buthe couldn't know that. So many people

(57:22):
lack the vision to see. Whydoes John Edwards carry on with Riley whatever
her name was and get her pregnantwhen he wanted to be present? He
was putting his momentary need ahead ofhis lifelong dream. People do that.

(57:45):
People make mistakes that will haunt themlater because they don't have the vision to
see themselves in that position down theroad. That is why I say,
call your mama if she's still alive. Well, I'm ast serial Sunday.
What if you don't. When youtalk to as many people as I do,
get a lot of emails back.I get a lot of input from

(58:07):
a lot of people, more thanalmost anybody that you know. And so
when I say talk to your mom, don't wait till Sunday, and I
start getting emails from people who tellme a story about I was going to
see my mom that Sunday for Mother'sDay, and I'd plan the whole thing.
And on Friday she died and Iwished ID called, but I didn't

(58:30):
feel like I needed a call becauseI'd see her on Sunday. That's a
great scene, great actors. Thisis for Michael Berry. The City of
Houston thought they had a new policechief, Eddie Garcia, from Dallas,
but it appears Eddie Garcia is notcoming to Houston. The reason that they

(58:53):
are giving is specious family doesn't wanthim to go. I think he's got
a daughter at TCU, understand that, but he would have thought about that
and talked to her before he applied. He's being polite to the City of

(59:14):
Houston. I'm sure Dallas probably offeredhim a lot more money to keep him,
because my understanding is he's very popularin Dallas with the public and with
the officers, and he probably figuredout that Houston's budget is busted, that

(59:36):
the past mayor, Syvester Turner hada police chief who'd been playing politics very
very badly, very badly, andhe's got a senior command that is a
DEI showcase. You got to getthose people out of there, and it's
not always easy to do to comein from the outside to do that.
He's got a great union to workwith and it's a great apartment of guys,

(01:00:00):
but a lot of the HPD haveleft. It got so toxic down
there that a lot of really goodguys left. And it's sort of why
it sort of why some coaches won'ttake a job with a franchise, that
the culture is broken and you don'tfix culture overnight. So Eddie Garcia is

(01:00:23):
set to stay in Dallas. Todayis National Barbecue Day, and I find
the issue of barbecue and race tobe fascinating. Blacks, whites, and
to a slightly lesser extent, Hispanicsall love barbecue, but barbecue is done

(01:00:45):
so differently. I grew up ina redneck environment and the redneck approach to
barbecue. If you're new to thebarbecue game and you're looking to buy a
new grill, the choices out therecan be daunting. I mean, truly,
it's a whole different ball game now, it's a whole different universe.

(01:01:08):
There are so many types of grillsout there now. If you don't have
somebody to guide you in Ramone.Ramone has remember binders full of women.
Ramone has binders full. Literally everysingle time Ramone barbecues or grills or cooks
out or does anything with regard tofood, he has a binder where he

(01:01:30):
writes down how he let the meatthaw, did he leave it out,
how long, where's the meat from? How much of it is there?
And then what did he preheat toand how long did he keep it on
there? And what kind of sauce, if any, did he use?
And when he pulled it off,did he wrap it, did he let
it? What do you call itwhen you let rest? And he got

(01:01:51):
all I mean, he writes detailednotes so that he can go back and
go I'm going to try that again, but change it. I mean,
he's really really into any geeks outon this stuff. But anyway, there
are so many types of grills outthere, and here is a Rednecks Guide
to barbecue grills that will help youdecide. I sell propane and prop I

(01:02:12):
can't take propan seriously. Next,no, look you herein if it ain't
the high dollars golf ball egg grill, this thing here has got this.
I guarantee you they got at leastfive Magellan shirts in their closet and at
least one bank note truck in thedriveway. Old school. This is my
favorite right here, the old weavertwenty two. I tell you what you
do, is you hop in thatold ten year old Silverado. You run
down the walmart right now. Theygot one's got dent in the side.

(01:02:34):
You're gonna get an eight dollars discountfor that. One bag of Kingsford,
a little bit of burnt sighting,and one domestic dispute later, you're gonna
have food what's fit to eat?Pellet grills. This kind of person just
wants smoke meat available at any giventime, without the ritual or the work.
Really, and don't get me wrong, it sounds like a perfect world.
But I'm just sure that some pointwe're gonna find out these pellets are
made with stripper glitter or some otherhome built one. I love these things.

(01:02:55):
Man, Country folks is like Cubansbuilding boats when it comes to me
and smokers and grilled And this thingcould have been a horse trailer. Hell,
it could have been a tank overthe liondelle plant. All I know
is that the worst of Weld's thebetter the me. His name is Jerry,
we have some He's a Houston comedianand I can't. I wish Jim
had put this in there, becauseI'll put his name. I'll track down

(01:03:20):
his name if you want to followhim. He's very very witty. He
does. He's he'll he'll do astring of cars or trucks, and he'll
tell you what we know about thatperson just looking at It's very very funny.
Ramon, do you remember the cookoutwith cousin Eddie in vacation? You
remember what he was grilling? Howdo you like yours? Clark? Oh?
Medi rare? Little think inside howyou're paying? Light or dark?

(01:03:44):
Oh? Either way, it doesn'tmatter. I think he can help you
with that kool egg please. Idon't know why they call this stuff hamburger
helper. It does just find byitself, huh. I like it better
than tune to help her myself,don't you, Clark? You're the gourmetor
around here? Ed? No meetingus? Do you get plenty to meet

(01:04:08):
at home? People like Asia Conship, real Tomato, Ketcha, Patty,
Oh, nothing but the best?You know? Talking about barbecue traditions,
I love the various barbecue traditions.I just learned today that Elston Limehouse,

(01:04:33):
the guy that has the barbecue outin Nobles Holler and Justified. You know,
he's kind of the mayor of thissort of underground Nobles Holler. Elston
Limehouse, that's Bubba from Forrest Gump. That is the same guy who would
have ever guessed anyway. I loveblack barbecue. I love redneck barbecue.

(01:04:57):
I like country barbecue. I evenlike the big city kind of fancy pressy
barbecue. I like Barbarica. Ilove it all. Here's the thing about
barbecue. Everybody loves barbecue, especiallyif you're at a church barbecue. This
is Shirley Q Liquor with this weekmy Holy Olive Second Baptist Sign Church of

(01:05:18):
God in Christ's News and Information Service, How you serve well last weekend,
it was some changes made behind thefact of that lady was complaining she was
allergic to our barbecue South. Thenwhen she got this idea in her head,
she ain't allergic to nothing. Shestay up in that house and she
ain't dust up in there for twentyyears. We got them old full long

(01:05:42):
haired person cats running around in theunerating everywhere, and she grow her nasty
garden and don't put her weeds.And then she's gonna talk about she allergic
to something at church. Now that'signorant, that's unscripture. If I had
my Bible in here, I'm sureI could find something to rebuild up.
See, we want to get alongdown here. The Women Acts Larry Committee
have not been formed but a coupleof years, and it's been a lot

(01:06:06):
of fistfights have went on so far. I mean, the elections down there
was just terrible. There were somany people on the ballock. They had
to send the damn United Nations downthere and break it up. It was
terrible. Oh well, so anyway, we have to make a special planter
for her for her low thought kosherdiet. Now what Deenieia Shamplain needs that?

(01:06:28):
Fuck? She ain't no Jewish.She stayed right down here Mount Holy
All, the second Baptist sign Churchof Guard in Christ with the rest off.
But she thinks she's Sam Davis junioror something. I don't know what
her problem is. Anyway, weout of time this morning. Read your
Bible, stay your prayers, andtell your mamma in my eggs her high
she did. She needed to getthe church too. She don't tie right

(01:06:49):
cow. Come on, thank you, good night h
