Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, luck and load. So Michael
Varie Show is on the air. There are so many
(00:29):
exciting things happening. You know, you know that feeling you
get when you feel like you met the right person,
that magical moment if heart flutters, world of possibilities. You
(00:51):
got feeling you get when you're starting a new job
that you're excited about that you wanted. Are you Your
team drafts, Your team gets the first pick in the draft,
and you get the quarterback that you're excited about, and
he's going to change everything for your team, and you're
(01:12):
gonna win it all this year. Right, That's what this
feels like. It's not just one team one and the
other one lost. It's that life is going to improve.
And the amazing thing, life is even going to improve
for the people screeching and melting down and wailing, and
(01:35):
their life is going to improve too. Within a day
of this amazing election, the stock market shot up. There
is such hope and promise. A friend of mine named
Matt Brice, he owns several restaurants in Houston called Federal
American Grill, and yesterday afternoon he sent me a message
(02:01):
and said, restaurants are full. People are wearing their Trump gear.
Everyone's excited. I feel it in the air. I heard
from people through the evening and all today. There's excitement
in the air. It's the Christmas spirit, limitless possibility. Iran's
(02:24):
currency dropped to its lowest point in years. Yeah, people
are shorting Iran. People realize this is a bad time
for Iran. Their enablers are not going to be in
the White House anymore. Blacks are puffing their chests out
because they're getting compliments. You see, when you supported Obama,
(02:48):
people said you're an idiot. You're still on the plantation.
They still own you. All those nasty things people heard
are felt now. People are hearing. Because I hear this.
Black friends tell me, man, look at blacks, look at that.
They've had enough, and that makes people feel good. Right,
(03:12):
the war between Russia and Ukraine, we're giving Putin an
out to end the war, to finish this war. We're
giving him an opportunity to finish the war and extend
goodwill to President Trump and in the meantime do something
(03:39):
he may have wanted to do anyway, because there's he
couldn't just call the war off right. Hamas calling for
an end to to to the conflict, at least for now,
(03:59):
that just because they wanted to make a good showing
with Trump. I saw a documentary years ago Carter was
president and Iran had taken Americans hostage, and it was
three hundred sixty seven. I can't remember how many days
it was. But as January twentieth approached and Reagan is
(04:23):
going to be the president, and everyone knows Reagan's going
to be peace through strength, and that Carter is viewed
as being weak, Carter is trying to get the hostages
released all the way up until he walks out and
gives you know, or walks out and Reagan is inaugurated.
I mean that morning, Carter's trent. That's going to be
(04:44):
his last accomplishment. There weren't many Yip David accords, but
the Iranis are waiting until the moment Reagan is inaugurated.
He's the president, and as it's a gift to him
to let him get the credit, him get the glory,
(05:04):
they released them. Do you know why? And this is
what some people will never understand. A certain type of
people are like dogs. They respect strength and they destroy weakness.
Terrorists are this way violent criminals are this way. That's
(05:29):
why you can only have peace through strength with them.
If they detect a weakness, they'll challenge you. Arizona has
now been called for President Trump, Nevada just before that.
These are major developments, which means Trump won every single
(05:51):
swing state Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
Whom I'm missing, missing one Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
(06:16):
North Carolina. I feel like I'm missing one. But he
ran the table. We control the House, we control the Senate.
That means that for two years, starting January twentieth, we
can accomplish what we need to accomplish. Worth noting that
(06:37):
there have been rumblings by Justices Alito and Thomas that
they would like to retire, that they were staying around
so that a Republican could appoint, will nominate, and seek
ratification by the Senate approval their replacement. You could put
(07:04):
young justices on the court, as Clarence Thomas and Antonines
Leiah were when put on the court thirty five years ago.
Now you could put young justices on the court that
could be there for decades. The entire judiciary can be remade.
(07:25):
Donald Trump's greatest accomplishment as president. Very few people know
this was. And one of the few things McConnell did
that was good is McConnell pushed those Republican judges. Federal
judge ships are for life. You put a young, smart,
conservative judge on, whether it's a federal district court, the
(07:50):
federal appellate courts, or the Supreme Court, they can be there.
You put somebody in their forties or even their early
fifties be there for three decades. You can reshape this country.
And I'm here for it. Liberal tiers.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Start here that our country is telling you today. Invest
in Kleenex, ladies and gentlemen. And this is the Michael
Varry Show. The exciting thing about this elections. You know,
when you root for one team over the other, and
(08:34):
your team wins the Super Bowl or the World Series
or anything else, you go home and nothing changes. You
just get bragging rights. You feel good your team won
and didn't lose. When you win an election, it means
that you take control of the government, You make the policies.
So it's not just that you win, it's that now
(08:56):
things change. Jack Smith, the hired assassin who was supposed
to use law fair against Donald Trump. It was announced
yesterday the Department of Justice will drop that case. Clip
number six thirteen. We have some news.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
About Special Counsel Jack Smith, this man right here. Donald
Trump said recently that he would fire Jack Smith quote
within two seconds of taking office. Well, we found out
that he may not have that opportunity. The reason is
that the Department of Justice, where Jack Smith works, cannot
prosecute a sitting president. Fox News is told that Jack
(09:38):
Smith will be gone from his post as special counsel,
meaning the cases will be gone before Trump takes the
oath of office at noon on January twentieth. This is the
Document's case, though that was dropped already by Judge Eileen
Cannon back over the summer, and it's on appeal. But
also this case for Trump's alleged effort to try to
(10:00):
overturn the twenty twenty elections. So, given the fact DOJ
policy says you cannot prosecute a sitting president, expect Jack
Smith's cases to be done. The last case it will
end on this is that Atlanta case that deals with
the twenty twenty elections. That's a local Georgia case. We've
seen over the last year how that has played out
with Fannie Willis Nathan Wade. That has many problems, many
(10:23):
different delays. So the bottom line for my story to
all of you right now, Donald Trump's legal problems have
essentially all gone away since he won last night.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
There was a deep sadness by the left. Their hatred
of Trump is so bitter, so so such a window
into their dark, sad souls. Here's MSNBC's Kim Delanean lamenting
(10:56):
the fact that he'll never get to see Trump put
to trial. You know, it's not about Trump. It's about
the kid who gave him a wedgie. It's about the
fact that Kendalanian didn't make the ball team. Kim Delanian
didn't get picked in the neighborhood basketball game for the
(11:16):
three on three because there were seven players and he
was left out. It's the fact that he was taunted
and picked on and left out. It's the fact that
Kendlanian knew no girl ever wanted to go out with him,
so he didn't even ask. It's the fact that Ken
Dalanian has deep, dark self loathing. So what do these
(11:37):
people do they project that onto Donald Trump. He becomes
the place to which they throw all of their anger
and they don't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, Chris, it's not a surprise that these cases can't
go forward when Donald Trump takes office. What's interesting here
is that the DOJ is moving to and then even
before he takes office, citing the long standing DOJ policy
that sitting presidents can't be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And there were some thought that.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Maybe Special Counsel Jack Smith was going to sprint through
the finish lines, going to work up until the last
day forced Trump to fire him, wait till a new
Attorney General was appointed, But that does not appear to
be the thinking inside the department. The thinking is that
these cases.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Can't go forward.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
There's no reasonable prospect of getting to trial within the
three months before Donald Trump takes office. These cases are
mired in legal issues that would be appealed all the
way to the Supreme Court had Donald Trump lost the election.
So now that these won the election, DJ officials are
thinking that, look, there's just no room to move in
these cases, and so the sensible thing to do is
(12:46):
to figure out a way.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
To wind them down. And it may stem.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
From Donald Trump's lawyers filing some kind of motion or
making a request saying in light of the DOJ policy,
you need to drop these cases. Now, there are a
few wrinkles here, one of which is that the classified
document's case includes two other defendants. We're not subject of
that policy, and it's been dismissed, obviously, But that dismissal
has been appealed, and the DOJ considers that ruling to
be very bad law. They would like to be overturned,
(13:11):
so that appeal may continue in some form. But the
reality is that Donald Trump is not going to be
a part of these cases. And what this means, I mean,
we knew this right, but just coming to grips with
what this means intellectually is that Donald Trump is not
likely to be held.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Accountable on these very serious.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Federal criminal charges that many people believe were worse than
what Richard Nixon did or was accused of doing in Watergate.
Now there's no guarantee that Donald Trump would have been
convicted a trial, but as Joyce Vance, our legal commentator,
said to me this morning, what's not going to happen
is he's not going to face.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
A jury of his peers.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Who would evaluate the evidence and render a verdict.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Never been a juryous creators. It would have never been
a jury of his peers. The January sixth defendants were average,
every day American patriots with real jobs and real lives
in everywhere America who walked into the Capitol then were
(14:10):
dragged into a prison where they've served longer periods of
time than murderers. In some cases. You'll hear my conversation
with one of them in the next hour. What happened
this man? And remember the underlying crime that they are
talking about with all of this, the thing that they
(14:31):
set up all along was January sixth. Remember the show trial.
Remember Liz Cheney she shared that she was kicked out
of her congressional seat. Some of you will not like
to hear this, and I understand that, but I mean it,
and it's how I feel. There have to be consequences
(14:52):
for the things that were done if we simply turn
the other cheek. I realize that a lot of people
operate under the premise just be nice, right. Remember Patrick
Swayze's character in Roadhouse got to make them leave. Be nice.
(15:14):
I'll tell you, as the cooler when it's time to
not ben It's time to not be nice. It's time
to prosecute. It's time to deport. It's time to go
after people who abuse their positions. It's time to go
after Fauci. Fauci needs to go to prison for this
(15:35):
nation to heal. Jacquelin Burgs needs to go to prison
for this nation to heal. The people who have threatened
Trump on social media. That needs to be treated the
way it has always been treated, and they need to
be arrested and prosecuted. The people who were involved on
(15:56):
July thirteenth, because it ain't just one gunman in allowing
Donald Trump to be shot in the head. There needs
to be a thorough investigation and people need to be
put in prison. You have to have people the next
time they have an opportunity to interfere in an election,
to attempt to kill a president, to prosecute a former president,
(16:18):
to keep him from running for office. You've got to
have people mindful of I don't want to get sent
to prison for what I'm about to do.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
For Me and My House. We love Hank Williams Junior, Bye, Golly,
we sure do so. I've pulled a few comments and
quotes and things from people that I've read over the
time since the election. I'd like to just share with you.
Glenn Greenwall wrote, I feel like none of the people
who call Trump the new Hitler are reacting, are preparing
(17:01):
as if Hitler is soon to be in power. Have
the people who emphatically claimed they would be sent to
Trump's camps begun to make preparations to flee? Keith Oberman,
Joy Bahar, Aoc, mattowl No, that's just it. Not one
of them worried that when they woke up yesterday morning
(17:26):
or this morning, they would be rounded up like the
January sixth survivor that we'll talk to in a bit.
Not one of them. President Trump and Republicans managed to
win the presidency, the electoral College, the popular vote, which
(17:50):
hadn't been done in a long time for a Republican,
the Senate majority, a House majority, a majority of state governors,
and a majority of state legislatures. Tim Waltz in Minnesota
lost his state legislature. Minnesota and the few states that
(18:16):
did not go Trump did not go Red just happened
to be the ones. Almost every one of those that
didn't is a state that does not have voter ID.
You know what that means. That means that people showed
up to vote that aren't eligible to vote. When anybody
(18:42):
from anywhere can vote in a nation's elections, you don't
have a nation. As Barbara Jordan famously said, if you
have no borders, you have no nation. You just high
planes drifters. Kamala Harris her campaign, these billionaires who were
eighty Forbes says there were eighty three billionaires behind her.
(19:07):
These billionaires raised a billion dollars for her with a bee.
It's insane, it's insane amount of money. And yet her
campaign ended up twenty million dollars in debt. That's a
pyramid scheme. That's not a campaign. Where'd all that money go?
(19:33):
Where did the money from the Kamala Harris campaign go?
Matthew Boyle wrote, remember before the election, when I don't
know who this person is, was flagging the very strange
financial activities and check writing of the Kamala Harris campaign.
Turns out Kamala went and broke. They stole that money,
(19:57):
and you realize that, right they stole a A lot
of people got rich off the Kamala Harris campaign. A
lot of people got rich off the Kamala Harris campaign.
And you know what else, This just keeps on getting better.
National voter ID it's coming. That's the fight. We fight.
(20:19):
Mass deportation of criminal aliens, new census maps. The red
states are going to pick up more people, more votes
at the expense of the Blue states. This is huge.
Georgia had more people. Lets see if I can find it.
Georgia had more people vote than they did four years
(20:43):
ago after their new voter integrity laws went into effect.
Remember Atlanta lost the World the All Star Game. Remember
there was this big hue and cry in Georgia. They
fought like hell, they moved it and they moved to Colorado,
which has voter ID loss. How funny is that? But
(21:04):
remember that there was a national Major League Baseball said
you can't have anything in Georgia, this voter idea, it's
voter suppressions offer. We had more people vote in twenty twenty.
There were four point nine people. This year there were
over five million. How about that. Tim Waltz's home county,
the county that he lives in that he's from, went
(21:29):
to Donald Trump, while Amy Klobachar won it by over
ten percentage points. Those are Democrats who voted for Trump.
How do we know because they voted for a Democrat
for the Senate, Amy Klobuchar. Oakland's mayor Shing Tao has
been recalled. This is the first mayor to be removed
(21:52):
from office in Bay Area history. She is a little demon,
that one. She is an absolute demon. They told you
that Texas was turning blue. They've been saying this for
a long time. Texas is turning blue. I studied the
maps last night. Texas is more red today than ten
(22:15):
years ago. With my wife was Secretary of State. Texas
is turning red. Illegal immigration is turning Hispanics against the Democrats.
How about that We have two hundred and fifty four
counties in the great State of Texas, two hundred and
fifty four. Joe Biden won twenty two of them. Kamala
(22:37):
Harris won only twelve twelve. That's how many out of
that's five percent of counties. Let's look at Michigan. Republicans
took back the Michigan House of Representatives, which makes Gretchen
(22:58):
Whitmer aimed up getting a lot of questions on who's
going to be the next Senate majority leader for Republicans.
I'll tell you what polymarket the votings. The betting site
says it's got Cornyn and Thune John Thune each at
thirty percent, Rick Scott at twenty eight percent, John Barrosso
(23:20):
at seventeen percent, and Iowa's Jonie Ernst at thirteen percent.
I wish I could tell you I have a favorite,
but they're all sellouts. They're all establishment very disappointed. You know,
we can win the elections, but we're going to be
sold out by Republicans. That's going to happen. I'm gonna
tell you that right now. We're going to be sold
(23:41):
out badly by Republicans. They're going to disappoint us by
being unwilling to push because what happens is the Democrats
are going to push back, and the media is going
to push back, and they're going to have Trump saying
something that they're going to contort, and Republicans are going
to run to the camera and say, we support the President,
(24:04):
but we do not support language like this, and we
do not want to be perceived as hateful, and we
want to make sure that that everyone knows that we're
not with Trump on this. He's going to have to
be nice. We don't want people to be upset. Shut up,
you wus man up already. Michael Berry The Michael Berry
(24:34):
Show and President elect Trump finished with three hundred and
twelve electoral votes. That's the most for a Republican presidential
candidate in thirty six years. That is a route. That
is a big old route. Kamala Harris would like you
(24:58):
to know that her pronouns are or has and been.
I saw a breakdown on how Kamala Harris did and
the groups that she did the best with and listened
to this. Rich people, those making more than one hundred thousand,
This is their number, not mine. Rich people those making
more than one hundred thousand went from plus five for
(25:20):
Biden to plus five plus eight for Harris. She actually
did better with people making higher incomes. It's one of
the only groups she improved with. Those who never go
to religious services were plus twenty six for Harris. That's
a big for a woman. It was beaten so badly.
(25:42):
We're going through the groups that really really like her,
don't go to religious services, make more money. That's two things.
Those who say they have no religion plus forty for
Kamala Harris college graduates. College graduates are the problem. By
the way, the more education you have in this country,
the worse you vote. I'll prove it. College graduates plus
(26:05):
eight for Harris, postgraduate degrees plus twenty four for Harris.
The Democrat mase Ari Fleischer knowes is college educated, wealthy,
non religious people. And you wonder why they're losing Hispanics
and working people. They are increasingly richer, less religious, and elitists,
(26:32):
in other words, out of touch. So you got rich, white,
advanced degree cises voting for Democrats. You're increasingly winning black males,
Hispanic males, and white male and female. Let me see
(26:58):
if I can hear. Here we go. Here's my numbers.
This is the NBC exit poll, but it was a
pretty sizable exit pole, so I'm going to use it
as fact. Sixty four percent of Native American voters voted
for Trump. Two thirds of Engines went for Trump. That
(27:22):
is cool, cool, I tell you, all right, So let's
go back to let me see if I can find
this other number. Okay, you want to know voting by race,
fifty seven percent of whites, thirteen percent of blacks, although
double that for males. It's almost no black females voted
(27:45):
for Trump, his fanic Latino forty six percent overall, the
men voted for Trump, but the women voted for Kamala
forty percent of Asians. That's actually pretty good. They don't
normally do that well, and fifty two percent of other
(28:06):
This was an exit pole, so it's not one hundred
percent accurate. But let me pull this up for you.
This is based on percentages of voters. Fifty three percent
of white males went for Trump, fifty two percent of
(28:27):
white women. The fact that Trump one white women is huge.
Twenty percent of Black men, seven percent of Black women,
fifty four percent of Latino men, thirty seven percent of
Latino women, and forty five percent of all other. Those
(28:50):
are exit polls. They're not scientific, you have to understand that.
But that was a pretty good exit poll. In fact,
I've seen some reviews. It was pretty well done. They
got the numbers right now, listen to this. This is
total number of votes cast per year. I want you
to notice the anomaly. Two thousand and four, one hundred
(29:13):
twenty one million overall votes cast. That's Democrat and Republic
one hundred twenty one in four two thousand and eight
one hundred twenty nine million, twenty twelve one hundred twenty
six million, twenty sixteen one hundred twenty eight million, But
in twenty twenty, one hundred and fifty five million were cast,
(29:33):
and in twenty twenty four it's back down to one
hundred twenty nine. As one Democrat posted, damn y'all, maybe
we really did steal the election in twenty twenty and
another one said, I'm so effing embarrassed. Right now, you
have between one hundred and twenty and one hundred twenty
nine million votes cast consistently across six different presidential elections,
(29:59):
except one when twenty seven million extra votes came in.
We knew it all along. Joe Biden didn't win eighty
one million votes. Trump got the same number of votes
seventy four million that year, seventy one. This year. Trump
(30:20):
did what he's always done. It was just that all
of a sudden, all these votes came in for Biden,
and all these votes came in for Biden after we
went to bed. After we went to bed, the Media
Research Center, which is the counterpoint to Media Matters, has
(30:41):
been studying positivity versus negativity of news stories on the
two parties on the Republican versus Democrat nominee. In the
two thousand and four election cycle, they had it a
plus twenty two for the Democrat John Kerry against your W. Bush.
(31:02):
In nineteen ninety two, they had it as a plus
twenty three for Clinton over Bush. In two thousand and eight,
they had it as a plus thirty five for Obama
over McCain. Second highest differential was twenty twenty when they
(31:23):
had Biden plus fifty eight over Trump. This is positive
versus negative coverage, and this year the highest they've ever registered,
a plus sixty three. Without the legacy media, Kamala would
have been routed even worse than she was. Think about
(31:46):
that for a moment. You know, Elon Musk posted on
Twitter which he bought. He posted, you are the media now.
It's such a powerful statement. You see, in the old days,
you couldn't trust the average person. You had to have
(32:08):
trusted news sources like the Washington Post or the New
York Times, NBC or CBS or ABC. You couldn't have
just random people. What would they do? They can't be trusted.
But the fake news, it's not news. They can't be trusted.
(32:32):
And what we found is. There are plenty of people
who we may disagree with from time to time, but
their reputation is important to them. Catherine Herridge, she was
fired by one of the major news agencies. She went
to Twitter. She's still doing investigative reports. Cheryl Atkinson, you're
the media now. We don't need the alphabet soup, lamestream
(32:57):
legacy media. And they're dying and they know it. Watch
and see how fast they're going to start putting conservatives
on CNN because I think Scott Jennings will be the
Press secretary for the Trump administration. I sure hope he is.
I sure hope he is. He's He's done a great
job at CNN this session. I'd like to see Ryan
Gardusky or Jardusky end up somewhere. He's the one that
(33:19):
was that was fired. Wait till you hear this interview
coming up of this j sixth January sixth through who
