Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
This aspect of what is now being investigated as a
second attempted assassination of former President Trump has been identified.
If I already say, his name is Ryan Wesley Roath.
He allegedly poked his muzzle of his AK forty seven
star rifle through a chandling fence as he was hiding
in the bushes of former President Trump's golf course at
(00:36):
West pom Beach, Florida.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's when an agent saw it.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
An open fire.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You know, that's a little bit old.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
That that arched a couple of months old. And if
you want to really see something, that said, take a
look at what happened.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
Shot said, nothing in life where is so exhilarating as
(01:22):
to be shot at without result? Nothing in life is
so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I marked that.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Line in a biography about him by a guy named
Martin Gilbert. Gilbert did a multi part biography of Churchill,
and then he did a one volume because it's hard
to get people to read a multi part biography.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Even the LBJ three part by Robert Carrow.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Path to Power means of a cent that got that
got a little tedious ly because he was cutting and
pasting along the way. But Churchill would ride the lines
famously in South Africa when he was serving there as
a low level officer, and others remarked it was almost
(02:15):
as if it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Was euphoric for him.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
He described it as exhilarating that they were firing at
him and not hitting him.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Now, I suppose that if he'd taken.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
One in the gut or the leg, he wouldn't have
thought that, But it tells you a lot about the
mindset of the man at that point. We went to
the Texans game last night and my wife was commenting
that at an NFL game, when a player was hit
near us on a sideline, she said, you know, watching
(02:47):
our boys play football, it always made me uncomfortable. But
these guys are six three two fifty, some of them
three hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Even the three hundred pounders are running to four.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
To six forty at a high rate of speed and
smashing into each other. Vince Lombardi famously said when a
reporter asked him about football being a contact sport, he said, no,
ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport.
(03:19):
It's crazy. You see the movie.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That Will Smith made about concussions. It's real.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
The willingness of a person to approach another at a
high rate of speed and smash into him is not
something that you're born with. It's not something that is natural.
It is a mindset. Whatever one may think of Trump,
you want a leader who is fearless. When he was
(03:48):
shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and they're trying to keep him
down and he's getting back up, there were criticisms from
the limp wristed from the white liberal women, from people
who said he didn't do it. The Secret Service so
him to he's the president.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're not.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
You want that kind of fearlessness, you see. You can't
baby men and win wars. You can't baby men and
them grow up to be strong and independent. We've got
a lot of men in America today, and God help
(04:27):
you if your daughter's dating one of them. Who are
not manly men. They are weak, They are a feat.
These are the type of men that marry Alexandria Cassio
Cortez or the county judge in Harris County, Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
These are the kind of men who marry.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Hillary Clinton's old chief of staff, what was her name,
Huma Abadin.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
These are the.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Kinds of men who will allow horrible things to happen
because the woman who's purse they carry around.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
All day told them it would happen. Michael, don't say
that we need their votes. Michael, you upset them, You
haven't upset them. These people are evil. Do you understand
that these people are evil? They are not to be
reasoned with. They are not to be molly coddled. They
(05:23):
are not to be compromised with. There's one of them
in your HR department. There's one of them in your
homeowners association. There's one of them in your kids administration
at school. My god, you better stand up to them.
You think, because they're not a woman, they won't cut
your knees off. What they'll cut off from your child
(05:43):
is a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
These are angry, angry women, mean spirited women, and all
the while they're very clear you don't like women. I
love women. I love strong women. I love capable women.
Maggie Thatcher a woman you can look up to. My wife.
There's a woman you can respect. Plenty of women whether
(06:07):
they work in the house or outside it. Plenty of
women you can respect in that manner, but I'm telling
you these types of women you need to be very,
very concerned, very concerned.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Let's get back to Ryan Roath. I want you to
realize what kind of people are out there. This is
your activist mindset.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
He stands for good and nobody else is paying enough
attention to what he's doing. And he's standing for good
and it makes him very angry and very violent.
Speaker 9 (06:36):
What impraced you the most since you are here?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
My trifty Arpin was pretty emotional, so you know, going
and seeing the buildings that were burned and destroyed and
things of that nature. I think more emotional for me
is also is just talking.
Speaker 9 (06:55):
To the guys that have come here.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
You know, when you talk to twenty year old that
sold everything he owns to come to your fight, that
is heroism. You know, he's coming here to risk his
life for humanity, for the Ukrainians. You know, guys that
sell everything they own to come here and support the
Ukrainians while others sit at home and do nothing. You know,
(07:20):
it's it's totally mind blowing how we have this divide
of people that are selfless and courageous and wonderful and
willing to sell everything they own to come here and
support you know, you know, keep people from getting killed,
to shelter kids and protect Ukrainians and others that just
(07:41):
you know, want to sit at home and not It's
just it, you know, it's an indictment of our entire
human society to say, hey, you know, where do we
stand we do we stand for for good? Or or
do we just not care? I mean, does the world
not care?
Speaker 9 (07:59):
That? That's the feeling that I wrestle with every day,
every day. And my interaction was with everybody.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
You know, every one of us is responsible for the
outcome of this war, every one of us.
Speaker 9 (08:09):
You know, by our actions and what we do.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
And you know, when I call back home and say, hey,
I need five bucks, so I can you know, put
some enough money together get a best for a Ukrainian
and I get no response, I'm like, I'm not sure
that the world is as wonderful as I once thought
it was.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
I had thought that.
Speaker 10 (08:26):
Everyone would respond, you know, very generously and unselfishly, and
you know.
Speaker 9 (08:31):
You don't have to come.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
But you know, if I asked for five dollars, to
buy a best best to say to Ukrainian life.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
It seems like that would be a no brainer.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
But I increasingly get more disappointed in humanity and beginning
to question whether or not we're going to end up
on the right side of this equation.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
The government made money off of it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We didn't get nothing of.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The hard time to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
It's a damn shame.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
What type of person is so radical that he seeks
to kill the president.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And he takes steps to do so. What's going on
in his head? Where is this guy?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Because there are plenty more just like him.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
These are the people raging there. You see them.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
They're angry, they're vicious, they're violent, and they're all liberals
because it's a religion, it's a cult. They remind me
of the Palestinians with a backpack of bombs walking into
a marketplace and blowing everyone up there, or hijacking a
(09:42):
plane and flying it into buildings.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You see this type of mindset.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
It's a callous disregard for life, Like the drive by
shooters in the neighborhood that don't care that children are
going to be killed, shooting into a crowd at a party.
Absolute callous disregard for life because they are so single
minded and so self centered that all that matters is
(10:12):
what they.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Want to do.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Listen to Ryan Rode talking about the people he has recruited.
Let me ask you. You think he's operating alone. You
think he is some guy from North Carolina that now
lives in Hawaii. You think you think he's bringing people
to Ukraine to fight out of Afghanistan, people from the
(10:36):
United States. You got to have passports, you gotta have funds.
You think he's just recruiting random people on his own
and getting them to a war zone.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You really believe that. Listen to this.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
So you are working with the International Legend, yes, and
you are trying to convince people to help, to donate
and to join. Yeah. My final question is what would
you say to the people in order to convince them
(11:09):
to join the International Legion or to donate for it,
or to be involved in the in the humanitarian aid
to Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Right? Right?
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Uh, it's just extremely important the whole thing. As far
as joining the military, you know, yes, if you have
some military experience, or no people with military experience encouraging
them to come and fight.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
We have units all over the place, so you.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Know, there was some leadership issues initially, but we've got
so many units available to us, Georgian Crimean, Ukrainian Territorial Defense,
Foreign Legion, we have, you know, so many paramilitary groups
I can put I put a seventy four year old
Japanese guy in a unit. So you know, we have
girls in units. So we had two two girls that
(11:57):
are in the unit up the street. So any gender,
any age, any skill level to no skill level. But yeah,
if you if you want to fight, come here and
see me and I'll put you in a unit so
you can go fight. But regardless of that, we should
have thousands upon thousands of people standing here with the Ukrainians,
this this Maiden Square, Independence Square. We should have millions
(12:19):
of people in the square filling the square from every
country around the world.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
And while we don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
I'm here every day with all the flags from all
the supporting countries, with the memorials for the people that
have died, and you know, I've had several people come,
but just a handful, you know, So it's it's it
blows my mind that I'm standing here alone without thousands
of people from every country, from Asia, from Africa, from Australia,
(12:46):
from from Canada, from everywhere in South America, every every place.
I'm yeah, Europe, everywhere. We need everybody here. You know,
if you have no skills, just come, you know, we
need to. We need to be cheerly just being here
and saying, hey, I support the Ukrainians, and I support
human rights, and I support good and generosity and caring
(13:11):
and kindness and altruism, and it's just, you know, we
need to show the world that we care. And it's essential,
you know, if you don't do any work at all,
just being here and supporting and showing them that we care,
we care for our fellow human beings is the most
important thing we can do.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
First of all, he said he wasn't allowed to fight
because at the time he was fifty six.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Now he's fifty eight.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
But a Japanese fellow that was seventy four years old,
according to him, he was able to put into the war.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Wait why I can't hear you? Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Ravone says that Japanese men are legendary warriors. Oh Ramon
thinks he might be a showgun. I don't think they
have showguns anymore, but he might be. He might have
had one in badass Japanese swords. He might have gone
in there wielding that sword. Let me tell you something,
(14:18):
you don't want to face the Japanese showgun.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Russians wouldn't know what to do.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
You know, you go back and look at the Russo
Japanese War. Those were violent, violent wars one hundred and
twenty five years ago, brutal. Maybe that's what he's doing.
He's rekindling an old hatred for the Russians. But do
you notice he has as every liberal activist does, and
(14:53):
by the way, their language is designed to activate these people.
He has this desperate, distressed, frustrated, frenetic tone. Why isn't
anybody getting involved in.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
My recycling campaign? Why isn't anybody composting? Why isn't everybody
getting a COVID vaccine?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Why isn't everybody doing what I want everybody to do?
There is this inner rage.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
This is an incomplete, miserable human being, and he has
an inner rage, and he finds a cause to attach
himself to. There's a YouTuber named Jadeon. I don't know
if I'm pronouncing that correctly. You don't know who he
is anyway, so it doesn't matter. He posted a video
(15:51):
that he says is Ryan Wett or Wesley Roath, and
it does look like him trying to recruit revolutionaries to
quote take down the system.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, the Ukrainians have a.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Right to fight back.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't do paper though.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I don't care if you do paper or not. I'm
looking for revolutionaries. I don't people want to take this
whole system down.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm a veteran, Like, do you need me?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What kind of veteran are you?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Ross out of the Newtown?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Well, I think it's better to serve and fighting the
powers go over the system.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, give me a cluck and a hell cut.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Take a look at that, Rob. But I don't do
paper though. I just told you, don't get away. We
don't need people. Are you're not?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I'm serious?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But I don't do paper, bro, You're killing the environment.
We're moving on.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You go go ahead and have your launch to you
doesn't know I'm going to class.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I'm a staller class.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Thirteen months ago, Tucker Carols and asked President Trump about
the possibility of an assassination.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
It started with protests against you, massive protests, organized protests
by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice
and now indictment. I mean the next stage is violence.
Is are you worried that they're going to try and
kill you? Why wouldn't they.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Try and kill you?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Honestly, Uh, they're savage animals. They are people that are sick,
really sick. You have great people in the Democrat Party,
You have great people that are Democrats. Most of the
people in our country are fantastic. And I'm representing everybody.
I'm not just Republicans are preserved. I represent everybody, of
the president, of everybody. But I've seen what they do.
(17:19):
I've seen the lengths that they go to when they
make up the Russia Russia Russia. When that's exposed and
they go down, and bar should have gone after them,
and other people should have gone after and they did
very late. Because the Durham report came out. It was
fairly good. It could have been a lot tougher, I guess,
but it was fairly good. But it explained how corrupt
it was. I'll tell you who did a great job
(17:40):
was the Inspector General Horowitz.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
He did a phenomenal report. You didn't have to go
to do it.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
He did it on Komi and on I guess McCabe
and some others, and it was a vicious It was
basically a true report how bad they are. But these
people are sick people.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
These are people that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think they hate our country.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Do you want to know the truth when you see
open borders, when you see these policies that they have
and so many other things, it's so sad to see.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
This is Tracy Blair and welcome to the Lifestyles of
the not so rich and famous, or as I call it,
the Michael BA. Tamala Harris sat down for her first
one on one interview since being coronated the Democrat nominee.
Nobody voted for her. She was handed the role. Unbelievable.
(18:30):
That's a threat to democracy. Did she sit down with NBC, Nope,
She's sitting down with CBS or god forbid, Fox News.
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
She sitting down with CNN or ABC, No chance.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
She sat down with the local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia,
Action Action six News Brian taff who you've never heard
of because he's a local reporter anchor.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Asked her about economic policy.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Sees.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
They didn't air the entirety of the interview because it's
so bad.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When we talk about bringing down prices and making life
more affordable for people, what are one or two specific
things you have in mind for that?
Speaker 13 (19:14):
So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it
is very much with the mind of investing in the
ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the
American people.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
All Right, this is very important.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm going to play that again, and I want you
to listen to how she begins the answer, So it
is very That's not actually how she answered the question.
They edited it because it was so embarrassing that she
answered with the same answer she gave at the debate.
(19:48):
So first listen carefully. They edited the answer. This is
not how the interview went down. So here's what they aired.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
When we talk about bringing down prices and making life
more affordable for people, are what are those specific things
you have in mind for that?
Speaker 13 (20:04):
So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it
is very much with the mind of investing in the
ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
American people they tried to help her.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
She did not answer that question with so here is
the minute in fifteen seconds that they took out before
the part that they played. They didn't air this because
it would be embarrassing to her.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You hear it more than I do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
People want to know more about you and about your
specific plans. At the debate the other night, you talked
about creating an opportunity economy. What if we can drill
down on that a little bit when we talked about
bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people,
or what are those specific things you have in mind
for that.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle
class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She
worked very hard. She was able to finally save up
enough money to buy our first house when I was
a teenager.
Speaker 14 (21:03):
I grew up in a community of hardworking.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
People, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. And
I try to explain to some people who may not
have had the same experience.
Speaker 14 (21:13):
You know, a lot of people will relate to this.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You know.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who are
very proud of their law, you know, and I was
raised to believe and to know that all people deserve
dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character.
(21:37):
You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but
not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can
help them fuel those dreams and ambition.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
See what about your tax increases? What about your regulations?
What about the wide open borders itally retreats into I
was raised by a mother and father. I care about you.
(22:10):
This is the politics of propaganda. This is identity politics.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
One oh one.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
This is what you get in America's big cities, where
you get a black mayor like we had in Houston,
our past mayor, Sevester Turner, who's constantly.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Talking about I'm black just like you and stealing them blind.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I think people have had enough. I think people are
tired of this. I really do.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Now.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
I want you to hear the rest of the answer.
They didn't play this entire answer, but they made it
clear that they edited the rest out. What they didn't
make clear is that they cut the beginning of her answer.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Why do you feel the need This is just like Joe Biden.
Why do you feel the need to compensate for the
fact that the.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
President is out to lunch, Why do you feel the
need to compensate for her. Do you think you're going
to compensate for her if she got to be president.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
When I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is
very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions
and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people,
and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a
small business. My mother, you know, worked long hours and
our neighbor.
Speaker 15 (23:41):
Helped raise us. We used to call her. I still
call her our second mother. She was a small business owner.
I love our small business owners. I learned who they
are from my childhood. And she was a community leader.
She hired locally.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
She mentored, our small businesses are so much a part
of the fab of our communities. Not to mention really,
I think the backbone of America's economy. So my opportunity
economy plan includes giving startups a fifty thousand dollars tax
deduction to start their small business that used to be
five thousand dollars. Nobody can start a small business with
(24:17):
five thousand dollars. But investing in people's innovative ideas and
giving them the ability to go for it. Opportunity account
economy means, look, we don't have enough housing in America.
We have a housing supply shortage. And what that means,
in particular for so many younger Americans, the American dream
is elusive.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
It's just actually not a tamble. So part of my
plan is.
Speaker 13 (24:41):
To work with the private sector and housing developers to
give them a tax credit to be able to partner
with us as the government to build in My goal
is three million new homes by the end of my
first term. In addition to help people who just want
to get their foot in the door literally and so
giving first time home buyers a twenty five thousand dollars
(25:04):
down payment assistance to be able to just get in
the door and then they will do the work that
they need to do to save and to pay that
mortgage and to build wealth for themselves in their family.
These are some examples of what I mean when I
talk about an opportunity economy in a lot that has
to do with just the community I was raised in
and the people that I know I admired who work hard,
(25:28):
you know, and deserve to have you know, their dreams
fulfilled because they're prepared.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
To work for it. You've got the Michael Berry's Show.

(26:37):
to separate herself from Joe Biden's record. You know that
she was asked how she plans to turn the page
from Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You talked at the debate and at previous appearances about
turning the page on the past, and in fact, here
today in Johnstown, you're talking about a new way forward.
Some people have a question, given maybe your current all
as Vice President of the United States, how different.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You are from Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
And so I wonder if there are one or two spots, policy, areas,
or approaches where you would say I'm a different person.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
Well, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. And you know, I
offer a new generation of leadership. And so, for example,
thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it's
about investing in areas that really need a lot of work,
(27:32):
and maybe focusing on again the aspirations and the dreams,
but also just recognizing that at this moment in time,
some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago,
we can't take for granted anymore. For example, another plan
that I have that is a new approach is to
expand the child tax credit to six thousand dollars for
(27:52):
young families for the first year of their child's life,
because that is obviously a very critical stage of development
of a child, and a lot of young parents need
the help to buy a car seat or a crib
or clothes for their kids. And so my approach is
about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the
(28:15):
current moment, and also, to be very honest with you,
my focus is very much in what we need to
do over the next ten twenty years to catch up
to the twenty first century around again capacity but also challenges.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
This was during her hard hitting interview with local Action
News six in Philadelphia. Brian taff he's just excited to
get to be talking to the vice president. He asked
her about crime and gun safety and what she would
do about those things.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Crime and public safety are two major issues right of
the four or five voters' mice in Philadelphia as well,
where crime is a significant issue. When we talk about crime,
the station turns to gun safety as well. And I
think you actually probably caught a lot of people off guard,
maybe that by surprise in the debate the you of
the night, when you mentioned that you are a gun owner.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I know you said it in twenty nineteen as well.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We're talking about your values on this issue when it
comes to gun ownership. Where do you draw the line
in America on gun ownership and gun use?
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Well, like you said, Brian, I am a gun owner,
and Tim Wall's my running mate, is also a gun owner.
We're not taking anybody's guns away. I support the Second
Amendment and I support reasonable gun safety laws. Part of
my approach to this is I was a career prosecutor.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
For most of my career.
Speaker 13 (29:40):
I have personally prosecuted homicide cases. I have personally looked
at autopsies. I have personally seen what assault weapons do
to the human body, and so I feel very strongly
that it is consistent with the Second Amendment and your
right to own a gun to also say we need an.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
Assault weapons ban. They're literally tools of war.
Speaker 13 (30:06):
They were literally designed to kill a lot of human beings. Quickly,
I say we need universal background checks. The majority of
NRA members support that. Why because it's just reasonably you
just might want to know before someone can buy a
lethal weapon if they've been found by a court to
be a danger to themselves.
Speaker 14 (30:27):
Or of it. You just might want to know.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
There we go again. She wants to ban assault weapons.
What is an assault weapon? It's never been defined. See,
this is what they do. They get people behind you know,
we're all for the environment. I have to close down
your business. Why it's hurting the environment. But wait, it's
not hurting the It is.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It is.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
We've decided it is. This is what you do.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You define certain crimes as a hay and you give
them a high penalty. Well, what if somebody does that
to a white person?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Can't be a hate crime? This is what you do.
This is the game.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
She was asked what she thought the appeal of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Is to so many people?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
On the appeal of the man you were running against?
She drove here today, you likely saw a lot of
Trump's signs. He has a historic appeal in this country.
And as you are someone running against him and try
to understand that, I wonder how you distill it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What do you understand his appeal to be?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And how do you speak to his voters or maybe
people who just share his values but are open to
something else.
Speaker 13 (31:43):
I based on experience and.
Speaker 14 (31:49):
A lived experience.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
No, in my heart, I know lived girls I think
that may be one of the most irritating lines the
Democrats have come up to come up with, What are
the kind of experiences there when you watch something on
a movie and that you've had that experience, what else
is there lived experience? This is the bull crap of
(32:11):
giving people validity for.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
The fact that they are alive that whatever their stupid
opinion is.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
But then we close out this tough, hard hitting interview
with the.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Toughest question of them all from the local anchor in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Finally, as you introduced yourself to America in a new way,
they've heard much of your story at the Democratic National
Convention in that debate earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
If there's one.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Thing that you wish Americans knew about who Kamala Harris
is that you don't think they know yet?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What would that be?
Speaker 14 (32:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (32:45):
I've mean, probably it's not very different from anybody watching
right now.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
I love my family. One of my favorite things.
Speaker 13 (32:54):
That I lately have not been able to do a
Sunday family dinner.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
I love to cook. I have incredible friends.
Speaker 13 (33:04):
My best friend from kindergarten is still my best friend.
I think that I mean, I have a career. That
really and I said it the other day. You know,
as a career prosecutor, I never asked a victim.
Speaker 14 (33:19):
Of crime where they a Republican or Democrat. The only
thing I ever asked them is are you okay?
Speaker 13 (33:27):
And I think that's the approach that most Americans want,
regardless of who they voted for in the last election,
in terms of turning the page and charting the way forward.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm asually looking forward to cooking someday dinner again.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
I am looking for it.
Speaker 13 (33:42):
I love Yes, I am looking forward to cooking with
the whole family gets involved, the kids each have their role. Yeah,
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
This aspect of what is now being investigated as a
second attempted assassination of former President Trump has been identified.
If I already say, his name is Ryan Wesley Roath.
He allegedly poked his muzzle of his AK forty seven
star rifle through a chandling fence as he was hiding
in the bushes of former President Trump's golf course at
(00:36):
West pom Beach, Florida.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's when an agent saw it.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
An open fire.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You know, that's a little bit old.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
That that arched a couple of months old. And if
you want to really see something, that said, take a
look at what happened.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
Shot said, nothing in life where is so exhilarating as
(01:22):
to be shot at without result? Nothing in life is
so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I marked that.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Line in a biography about him by a guy named
Martin Gilbert. Gilbert did a multi part biography of Churchill,
and then he did a one volume because it's hard
to get people to read a multi part biography.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Even the LBJ three part by Robert Carrow.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Path to Power means of a cent that got that
got a little tedious ly because he was cutting and
pasting along the way. But Churchill would ride the lines
famously in South Africa when he was serving there as
a low level officer, and others remarked it was almost
(02:15):
as if it.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Was euphoric for him.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
He described it as exhilarating that they were firing at
him and not hitting him.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Now, I suppose that if he'd taken.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
One in the gut or the leg, he wouldn't have
thought that, But it tells you a lot about the
mindset of the man at that point. We went to
the Texans game last night and my wife was commenting
that at an NFL game, when a player was hit
near us on a sideline, she said, you know, watching
(02:47):
our boys play football, it always made me uncomfortable. But
these guys are six three two fifty, some of them
three hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Even the three hundred pounders are running to four.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
To six forty at a high rate of speed and
smashing into each other. Vince Lombardi famously said when a
reporter asked him about football being a contact sport, he said, no,
ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport.
(03:19):
It's crazy. You see the movie.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That Will Smith made about concussions. It's real.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
The willingness of a person to approach another at a
high rate of speed and smash into him is not
something that you're born with. It's not something that is natural.
It is a mindset. Whatever one may think of Trump,
you want a leader who is fearless. When he was
(03:48):
shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and they're trying to keep him
down and he's getting back up, there were criticisms from
the limp wristed from the white liberal women, from people
who said he didn't do it. The Secret Service so
him to he's the president.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're not.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
You want that kind of fearlessness, you see. You can't
baby men and win wars. You can't baby men and
them grow up to be strong and independent. We've got
a lot of men in America today, and God help
(04:27):
you if your daughter's dating one of them. Who are
not manly men. They are weak, They are a feat.
These are the type of men that marry Alexandria Cassio
Cortez or the county judge in Harris County, Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
These are the kind of men who marry.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Hillary Clinton's old chief of staff, what was her name,
Huma Abadin.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
These are the.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Kinds of men who will allow horrible things to happen
because the woman who's purse they carry around.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
All day told them it would happen. Michael, don't say
that we need their votes. Michael, you upset them, You
haven't upset them. These people are evil. Do you understand
that these people are evil? They are not to be
reasoned with. They are not to be molly coddled. They
(05:23):
are not to be compromised with. There's one of them
in your HR department. There's one of them in your
homeowners association. There's one of them in your kids administration
at school. My god, you better stand up to them.
You think, because they're not a woman, they won't cut
your knees off. What they'll cut off from your child
(05:43):
is a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
These are angry, angry women, mean spirited women, and all
the while they're very clear you don't like women. I
love women. I love strong women. I love capable women.
Maggie Thatcher a woman you can look up to. My wife.
There's a woman you can respect. Plenty of women whether
(06:07):
they work in the house or outside it. Plenty of
women you can respect in that manner, but I'm telling
you these types of women you need to be very,
very concerned, very concerned.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Let's get back to Ryan Roath. I want you to
realize what kind of people are out there. This is
your activist mindset.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
He stands for good and nobody else is paying enough
attention to what he's doing. And he's standing for good
and it makes him very angry and very violent.
Speaker 9 (06:36):
What impraced you the most since you are here?
Speaker 10 (06:41):
My trifty Arpin was pretty emotional, so you know, going
and seeing the buildings that were burned and destroyed and
things of that nature. I think more emotional for me
is also is just talking.
Speaker 9 (06:55):
To the guys that have come here.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
You know, when you talk to twenty year old that
sold everything he owns to come to your fight, that
is heroism. You know, he's coming here to risk his
life for humanity, for the Ukrainians. You know, guys that
sell everything they own to come here and support the
Ukrainians while others sit at home and do nothing. You know,
(07:20):
it's it's totally mind blowing how we have this divide
of people that are selfless and courageous and wonderful and
willing to sell everything they own to come here and
support you know, you know, keep people from getting killed,
to shelter kids and protect Ukrainians and others that just
(07:41):
you know, want to sit at home and not It's
just it, you know, it's an indictment of our entire
human society to say, hey, you know, where do we
stand we do we stand for for good? Or or
do we just not care? I mean, does the world
not care?
Speaker 9 (07:59):
That? That's the feeling that I wrestle with every day,
every day. And my interaction was with everybody.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
You know, every one of us is responsible for the
outcome of this war, every one of us.
Speaker 9 (08:09):
You know, by our actions and what we do.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
And you know, when I call back home and say, hey,
I need five bucks, so I can you know, put
some enough money together get a best for a Ukrainian
and I get no response, I'm like, I'm not sure
that the world is as wonderful as I once thought
it was.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
I had thought that.
Speaker 10 (08:26):
Everyone would respond, you know, very generously and unselfishly, and
you know.
Speaker 9 (08:31):
You don't have to come.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
But you know, if I asked for five dollars, to
buy a best best to say to Ukrainian life.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
It seems like that would be a no brainer.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
But I increasingly get more disappointed in humanity and beginning
to question whether or not we're going to end up
on the right side of this equation.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
The government made money off of it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We didn't get nothing of.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The hard time to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
It's a damn shame.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
What type of person is so radical that he seeks
to kill the president.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And he takes steps to do so. What's going on
in his head? Where is this guy?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Because there are plenty more just like him.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
These are the people raging there. You see them.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
They're angry, they're vicious, they're violent, and they're all liberals
because it's a religion, it's a cult. They remind me
of the Palestinians with a backpack of bombs walking into
a marketplace and blowing everyone up there, or hijacking a
(09:42):
plane and flying it into buildings.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You see this type of mindset.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
It's a callous disregard for life, Like the drive by
shooters in the neighborhood that don't care that children are
going to be killed, shooting into a crowd at a party.
Absolute callous disregard for life because they are so single
minded and so self centered that all that matters is
(10:12):
what they.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Want to do.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Listen to Ryan Rode talking about the people he has recruited.
Let me ask you. You think he's operating alone. You
think he is some guy from North Carolina that now
lives in Hawaii. You think you think he's bringing people
to Ukraine to fight out of Afghanistan, people from the
(10:36):
United States. You got to have passports, you gotta have funds.
You think he's just recruiting random people on his own
and getting them to a war zone.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You really believe that. Listen to this.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
So you are working with the International Legend, yes, and
you are trying to convince people to help, to donate
and to join. Yeah. My final question is what would
you say to the people in order to convince them
(11:09):
to join the International Legion or to donate for it,
or to be involved in the in the humanitarian aid
to Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Right? Right?
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Uh, it's just extremely important the whole thing. As far
as joining the military, you know, yes, if you have
some military experience, or no people with military experience encouraging
them to come and fight.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
We have units all over the place, so you.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Know, there was some leadership issues initially, but we've got
so many units available to us, Georgian Crimean, Ukrainian Territorial Defense,
Foreign Legion, we have, you know, so many paramilitary groups
I can put I put a seventy four year old
Japanese guy in a unit. So you know, we have
girls in units. So we had two two girls that
(11:57):
are in the unit up the street. So any gender,
any age, any skill level to no skill level. But yeah,
if you if you want to fight, come here and
see me and I'll put you in a unit so
you can go fight. But regardless of that, we should
have thousands upon thousands of people standing here with the Ukrainians,
this this Maiden Square, Independence Square. We should have millions
(12:19):
of people in the square filling the square from every
country around the world.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
And while we don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
I'm here every day with all the flags from all
the supporting countries, with the memorials for the people that
have died, and you know, I've had several people come,
but just a handful, you know, So it's it's it
blows my mind that I'm standing here alone without thousands
of people from every country, from Asia, from Africa, from Australia,
(12:46):
from from Canada, from everywhere in South America, every every place.
I'm yeah, Europe, everywhere. We need everybody here. You know,
if you have no skills, just come, you know, we
need to. We need to be cheerly just being here
and saying, hey, I support the Ukrainians, and I support
human rights, and I support good and generosity and caring
(13:11):
and kindness and altruism, and it's just, you know, we
need to show the world that we care. And it's essential,
you know, if you don't do any work at all,
just being here and supporting and showing them that we care,
we care for our fellow human beings is the most
important thing we can do.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
First of all, he said he wasn't allowed to fight
because at the time he was fifty six.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Now he's fifty eight.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
But a Japanese fellow that was seventy four years old,
according to him, he was able to put into the war.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Wait why I can't hear you? Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Ravone says that Japanese men are legendary warriors. Oh Ramon
thinks he might be a showgun. I don't think they
have showguns anymore, but he might be. He might have
had one in badass Japanese swords. He might have gone
in there wielding that sword. Let me tell you something,
(14:18):
you don't want to face the Japanese showgun.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Russians wouldn't know what to do.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
You know, you go back and look at the Russo
Japanese War. Those were violent, violent wars one hundred and
twenty five years ago, brutal. Maybe that's what he's doing.
He's rekindling an old hatred for the Russians. But do
you notice he has as every liberal activist does, and
(14:53):
by the way, their language is designed to activate these people.
He has this desperate, distressed, frustrated, frenetic tone. Why isn't
anybody getting involved in.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
My recycling campaign? Why isn't anybody composting? Why isn't everybody
getting a COVID vaccine?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Why isn't everybody doing what I want everybody to do?
There is this inner rage.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
This is an incomplete, miserable human being, and he has
an inner rage, and he finds a cause to attach
himself to. There's a YouTuber named Jadeon. I don't know
if I'm pronouncing that correctly. You don't know who he
is anyway, so it doesn't matter. He posted a video
(15:51):
that he says is Ryan Wett or Wesley Roath, and
it does look like him trying to recruit revolutionaries to
quote take down the system.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Well, the Ukrainians have a.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Right to fight back.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't do paper though.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I don't care if you do paper or not. I'm
looking for revolutionaries. I don't people want to take this
whole system down.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm a veteran, Like, do you need me?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What kind of veteran are you?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Ross out of the Newtown?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Well, I think it's better to serve and fighting the
powers go over the system.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, give me a cluck and a hell cut.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Take a look at that, Rob. But I don't do
paper though. I just told you, don't get away. We
don't need people. Are you're not?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I'm serious?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But I don't do paper, bro, You're killing the environment.
We're moving on.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You go go ahead and have your launch to you
doesn't know I'm going to class.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I'm a staller class.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Thirteen months ago, Tucker Carols and asked President Trump about
the possibility of an assassination.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
It started with protests against you, massive protests, organized protests
by the left, and then it moved to impeachment twice
and now indictment. I mean the next stage is violence.
Is are you worried that they're going to try and
kill you? Why wouldn't they.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Try and kill you?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Honestly, Uh, they're savage animals. They are people that are sick,
really sick. You have great people in the Democrat Party,
You have great people that are Democrats. Most of the
people in our country are fantastic. And I'm representing everybody.
I'm not just Republicans are preserved. I represent everybody, of
the president, of everybody. But I've seen what they do.
(17:19):
I've seen the lengths that they go to when they
make up the Russia Russia Russia. When that's exposed and
they go down, and bar should have gone after them,
and other people should have gone after and they did
very late. Because the Durham report came out. It was
fairly good. It could have been a lot tougher, I guess,
but it was fairly good. But it explained how corrupt
it was. I'll tell you who did a great job
(17:40):
was the Inspector General Horowitz.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
He did a phenomenal report. You didn't have to go
to do it.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
He did it on Komi and on I guess McCabe
and some others, and it was a vicious It was
basically a true report how bad they are. But these
people are sick people.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
These are people that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think they hate our country.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Do you want to know the truth when you see
open borders, when you see these policies that they have
and so many other things, it's so sad to see.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
This is Tracy Blair and welcome to the Lifestyles of
the not so rich and famous, or as I call it,
the Michael BA. Tamala Harris sat down for her first
one on one interview since being coronated the Democrat nominee.
Nobody voted for her. She was handed the role. Unbelievable.
(18:30):
That's a threat to democracy. Did she sit down with NBC, Nope,
She's sitting down with CBS or god forbid, Fox News.
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Nope.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
She sitting down with CNN or ABC, No chance.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
She sat down with the local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia,
Action Action six News Brian taff who you've never heard
of because he's a local reporter anchor.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Asked her about economic policy.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Sees.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
They didn't air the entirety of the interview because it's
so bad.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When we talk about bringing down prices and making life
more affordable for people, what are one or two specific
things you have in mind for that?
Speaker 13 (19:14):
So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it
is very much with the mind of investing in the
ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the
American people.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
All Right, this is very important.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I'm going to play that again, and I want you
to listen to how she begins the answer, So it
is very That's not actually how she answered the question.
They edited it because it was so embarrassing that she
answered with the same answer she gave at the debate.
(19:48):
So first listen carefully. They edited the answer. This is
not how the interview went down. So here's what they aired.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
When we talk about bringing down prices and making life
more affordable for people, are what are those specific things
you have in mind for that?
Speaker 13 (20:04):
So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it
is very much with the mind of investing in the
ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
American people they tried to help her.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
She did not answer that question with so here is
the minute in fifteen seconds that they took out before
the part that they played. They didn't air this because
it would be embarrassing to her.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You hear it more than I do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
People want to know more about you and about your
specific plans. At the debate the other night, you talked
about creating an opportunity economy. What if we can drill
down on that a little bit when we talked about
bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people,
or what are those specific things you have in mind
for that.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle
class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She
worked very hard. She was able to finally save up
enough money to buy our first house when I was
a teenager.
Speaker 14 (21:03):
I grew up in a community of hardworking.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
People, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. And
I try to explain to some people who may not
have had the same experience.
Speaker 14 (21:13):
You know, a lot of people will relate to this.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You know.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who are
very proud of their law, you know, and I was
raised to believe and to know that all people deserve
dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character.
(21:37):
You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but
not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can
help them fuel those dreams and ambition.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
See what about your tax increases? What about your regulations?
What about the wide open borders itally retreats into I
was raised by a mother and father. I care about you.
(22:10):
This is the politics of propaganda. This is identity politics.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
One oh one.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
This is what you get in America's big cities, where
you get a black mayor like we had in Houston,
our past mayor, Sevester Turner, who's constantly.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Talking about I'm black just like you and stealing them blind.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
I think people have had enough. I think people are
tired of this. I really do.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Now.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
I want you to hear the rest of the answer.
They didn't play this entire answer, but they made it
clear that they edited the rest out. What they didn't
make clear is that they cut the beginning of her answer.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Why do you feel the need This is just like Joe Biden.
Why do you feel the need to compensate for the
fact that the.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
President is out to lunch, Why do you feel the
need to compensate for her. Do you think you're going
to compensate for her if she got to be president.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
When I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is
very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions
and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people,
and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a
small business. My mother, you know, worked long hours and
our neighbor.
Speaker 15 (23:41):
Helped raise us. We used to call her. I still
call her our second mother. She was a small business owner.
I love our small business owners. I learned who they
are from my childhood. And she was a community leader.
She hired locally.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
She mentored, our small businesses are so much a part
of the fab of our communities. Not to mention really,
I think the backbone of America's economy. So my opportunity
economy plan includes giving startups a fifty thousand dollars tax
deduction to start their small business that used to be
five thousand dollars. Nobody can start a small business with
(24:17):
five thousand dollars. But investing in people's innovative ideas and
giving them the ability to go for it. Opportunity account
economy means, look, we don't have enough housing in America.
We have a housing supply shortage. And what that means,
in particular for so many younger Americans, the American dream
is elusive.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
It's just actually not a tamble. So part of my
plan is.
Speaker 13 (24:41):
To work with the private sector and housing developers to
give them a tax credit to be able to partner
with us as the government to build in My goal
is three million new homes by the end of my
first term. In addition to help people who just want
to get their foot in the door literally and so
giving first time home buyers a twenty five thousand dollars
(25:04):
down payment assistance to be able to just get in
the door and then they will do the work that
they need to do to save and to pay that
mortgage and to build wealth for themselves in their family.
These are some examples of what I mean when I
talk about an opportunity economy in a lot that has
to do with just the community I was raised in
and the people that I know I admired who work hard,
(25:28):
you know, and deserve to have you know, their dreams
fulfilled because they're prepared.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
To work for it. You've got the Michael Berry's Show.
To our new listeners in Virginia Beach, We're.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Honored to have you to get to be on WTAAR

We do a bonus podcast many days in the middle
of the afternoon. It's also a couple of memes that
we're having fun with because we got to have some
laughter in the midst of all this as well. And
of course you can send me an email there Michael
Berryshow dot com that's our website. Kamala Harris been trying
(26:37):
to separate herself from Joe Biden's record. You know that
she was asked how she plans to turn the page
from Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You talked at the debate and at previous appearances about
turning the page on the past, and in fact, here
today in Johnstown, you're talking about a new way forward.
Some people have a question, given maybe your current all
as Vice President of the United States, how different.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You are from Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
And so I wonder if there are one or two spots, policy, areas,
or approaches where you would say I'm a different person.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
Well, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. And you know, I
offer a new generation of leadership. And so, for example,
thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it's
about investing in areas that really need a lot of work,
(27:32):
and maybe focusing on again the aspirations and the dreams,
but also just recognizing that at this moment in time,
some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago,
we can't take for granted anymore. For example, another plan
that I have that is a new approach is to
expand the child tax credit to six thousand dollars for
(27:52):
young families for the first year of their child's life,
because that is obviously a very critical stage of development
of a child, and a lot of young parents need
the help to buy a car seat or a crib
or clothes for their kids. And so my approach is
about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the
(28:15):
current moment, and also, to be very honest with you,
my focus is very much in what we need to
do over the next ten twenty years to catch up
to the twenty first century around again capacity but also challenges.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
This was during her hard hitting interview with local Action
News six in Philadelphia. Brian taff he's just excited to
get to be talking to the vice president. He asked
her about crime and gun safety and what she would
do about those things.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Crime and public safety are two major issues right of
the four or five voters' mice in Philadelphia as well,
where crime is a significant issue. When we talk about crime,
the station turns to gun safety as well. And I
think you actually probably caught a lot of people off guard,
maybe that by surprise in the debate the you of
the night, when you mentioned that you are a gun owner.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I know you said it in twenty nineteen as well.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We're talking about your values on this issue when it
comes to gun ownership. Where do you draw the line
in America on gun ownership and gun use?
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Well, like you said, Brian, I am a gun owner,
and Tim Wall's my running mate, is also a gun owner.
We're not taking anybody's guns away. I support the Second
Amendment and I support reasonable gun safety laws. Part of
my approach to this is I was a career prosecutor.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
For most of my career.
Speaker 13 (29:40):
I have personally prosecuted homicide cases. I have personally looked
at autopsies. I have personally seen what assault weapons do
to the human body, and so I feel very strongly
that it is consistent with the Second Amendment and your
right to own a gun to also say we need an.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
Assault weapons ban. They're literally tools of war.
Speaker 13 (30:06):
They were literally designed to kill a lot of human beings. Quickly,
I say we need universal background checks. The majority of
NRA members support that. Why because it's just reasonably you
just might want to know before someone can buy a
lethal weapon if they've been found by a court to
be a danger to themselves.
Speaker 14 (30:27):
Or of it. You just might want to know.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
There we go again. She wants to ban assault weapons.
What is an assault weapon? It's never been defined. See,
this is what they do. They get people behind you know,
we're all for the environment. I have to close down
your business. Why it's hurting the environment. But wait, it's
not hurting the It is.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It is.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
We've decided it is. This is what you do.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You define certain crimes as a hay and you give
them a high penalty. Well, what if somebody does that
to a white person?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Can't be a hate crime? This is what you do.
This is the game.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
She was asked what she thought the appeal of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Is to so many people?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
On the appeal of the man you were running against?
She drove here today, you likely saw a lot of
Trump's signs. He has a historic appeal in this country.
And as you are someone running against him and try
to understand that, I wonder how you distill it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What do you understand his appeal to be?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And how do you speak to his voters or maybe
people who just share his values but are open to
something else.
Speaker 13 (31:43):
I based on experience and.
Speaker 14 (31:49):
A lived experience.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
No, in my heart, I know lived girls I think
that may be one of the most irritating lines the
Democrats have come up to come up with, What are
the kind of experiences there when you watch something on
a movie and that you've had that experience, what else
is there lived experience? This is the bull crap of
(32:11):
giving people validity for.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
The fact that they are alive that whatever their stupid
opinion is.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
But then we close out this tough, hard hitting interview
with the.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Toughest question of them all from the local anchor in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Finally, as you introduced yourself to America in a new way,
they've heard much of your story at the Democratic National
Convention in that debate earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
If there's one.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Thing that you wish Americans knew about who Kamala Harris
is that you don't think they know yet?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What would that be?
Speaker 14 (32:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (32:45):
I've mean, probably it's not very different from anybody watching
right now.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
I love my family. One of my favorite things.
Speaker 13 (32:54):
That I lately have not been able to do a
Sunday family dinner.
Speaker 14 (32:58):
I love to cook. I have incredible friends.
Speaker 13 (33:04):
My best friend from kindergarten is still my best friend.
I think that I mean, I have a career. That
really and I said it the other day. You know,
as a career prosecutor, I never asked a victim.
Speaker 14 (33:19):
Of crime where they a Republican or Democrat. The only
thing I ever asked them is are you okay?
Speaker 13 (33:27):
And I think that's the approach that most Americans want,
regardless of who they voted for in the last election,
in terms of turning the page and charting the way forward.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I'm asually looking forward to cooking someday dinner again.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
I am looking for it.
Speaker 13 (33:42):
I love Yes, I am looking forward to cooking with
the whole family gets involved, the kids each have their role. Yeah,
