Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Michael Very Show is on the air, and it
really looks like ancient romance here.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the Colisey and everyone's cheering, and he's got his political.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Gladiators with him.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That that appearance isn't just about him enjoying the applause.
He's sending a message to the Senate for not only
are you entertained, but these are my people and are
you willing to fight?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Because here's who I have.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
President Donald Trump for being here. Hey, what do you
gonna do? The version of the Donald Trump you I'm
(01:11):
I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud
to be a Christian American champion.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I think the whole point with these nominees, several of them,
is their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That's Trump's point,
because what he wants to do with these nominees is
establish that the Congress sized States will not stand up
him with anything. If they will confirm Matt Jades, they
(01:56):
will do anything he wants.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Alcohol tobacco and firearms should be the name of a
chain of convenience stores in Florida, not a federal agency.
We need to abolish the ATF before they abolish our
Second Amendment rights.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And what.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Kind of power and influence you think R.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
FK.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
Junior would have you know, Martha, I am outraged because
lives are at stake here. The head of Health and
Human Services touches programs that affect every single life in
our country. I've been focusing mainly on the public health impacts.
As you know, I'm a pediatrician. I practiced pediatrics for
(02:51):
more than thirty years and there's nothing that I've done
for my patients that I know has more positive impact
than getting them vaccinated fully and on time.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And to have someone.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
Leading AHHS who is one of the biggest deniers of
vaccines in our country would undermine the confidence in that
program and likely would cost lives.
Speaker 9 (03:12):
And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw an explosion
in chronic disease and American children the neurological disease is
suddenly exploded nineteen eighty nine add EIGHTYHD, sleeping god disorders,
languish of delays, ASD autism, to reg syndromtics, narcolepsy.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
These are all things that I never heard of.
Speaker 9 (03:38):
Autism went from one in ten thousand of my generation
according to the CDC data, to one in every thirty
four years.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Today we would.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
So you know, there was a big fight Friday night,
Tyson Paul. What a disappointment. Not for me, it was
exactly what I expected. I mean, if you saw Tyson
and Roy Jones, I mean this has been done before, right,
But let's leave that aside for a moment, because the
point I want to start the show off with brings
(04:16):
us to Saturday night in the UFC Heavyweight Championship and
a fellow named John Bones Jones. After he knocks his
opponent out, he jumps up and he has this moment.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
to President Donald Trump for being here tonight. Hey, what
do you gotta pick about the version of the Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Check it out. He did the dance you.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I'm I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm
proud to be a Christian American champion.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
He hopped the fence in the optagon, octagon, and he
handed his belt, He gave his belt to President Trump.
Trump was there with Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy
junior and then football players now college and pro and
(05:32):
probably high school for that matter, are doing varying levels
of quality impressions of Donald Trump's dance, Which which?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Which is his own little dance?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
You know, it's it's like it's like he's rowing the machine,
you know, He's like he's on he's on the old
fashioned well, the old fashioned peloton. What do you call
his old fashion stationary by you know, the ones where
the arms would row. It's kind of like that, but
to the music. But it's distinctive. It's his own thing.
(06:08):
And when it started, I don't think he ever thought
he was going to be creating a dance, you know,
the Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
But he did.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
It was that he was walking on the stage and
music was playing, and he's not a great dancer, but
he moved his arms somewhat in tune and it became
a very endearing thing, and it became distinctive. And it's whimsical.
(06:39):
I mean, young people will show you. There's video after
video of people doing it, and they make videos of
him and then they slide sunglasses down over his face.
And you know, I'm gonna sound like an old fuddy
dot explain this, But it has become here's the important part.
This was the point I wanted to make. It has
become a social phenomenon. And the moment that you transcend
(07:05):
being a politician and you become a social phenomenon, that
is the moment you can accomplish things. I don't know
if John Bones Jones approves of every Trump policy. I
don't know if the Detroit Lions, who four or five
(07:26):
of them did his dance after this scord, if they're
really excited about Chris Wright as Energy secretary or Brendon
Carr as a new FCC chairman.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I think it doesn't matter. Most people.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
You've got some things. You're way more informed than anybody else. Right,
Your talk radio listens just to s Nature of the Beast.
You have news alerts on your phone, you're on Twitter, Facebook,
more likely Twitter, but also Facebook. You're reading news reports,
you're going to events, you're studying things. You're the outlier, right,
(08:02):
But for most people, they have a general sense. Now
he's become like Betty Waite. Everybody likes Betty White. They
don't even know why they like Betty Way or Tony Bennett.
He has become that person that people genuinely like and
that gives him a real mandate. Don't underestimate this.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This is the Michael Berry Show. Most of America.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Does not care about government, and they don't care much
about politics, and they think that the rest of us
are weirdos that we're constantly.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Talking about it.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Leaving aside a judgment of people, you first have to
understand where people are, and then you can judge them.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You can say as many people will say yeah, but they.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Don't understand, and that's why our countries in all this
trouble and all of that aside. You first have to
be able to understand what's going through people's head, and
then you can pass a judgment about it. But if
all you're worried about is passing a judgment about it,
you don't study people properly. Most Americans do not care
(09:19):
about government and politics the way we do.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
They just don't.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
And a good portion of them not only don't care,
they wish you would stop talking about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
They're very annoyed by it. And then you.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Say, yeah, but let me glom onto you even more
because I do care, and you have to care. Making
people care is a challenge. But if we're completely honest,
a portion of our people just like a majority of
their people.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
It's not about building consent for good policies.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
It's a game. It's a hobby. It's an obsession, and
very few people realize they are in it to that
level because it has become for many people it has
replaced sports in their lives, or it has replaced movie watching,
or it has replaced whatever was their hobby. This has
(10:25):
become an obsessive hobby. I have people who will tell me,
Man Michael, since I retired, I just wake up and
watch Fox News all day long.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's probably not healthy.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
You think the good news is you're not being exposed
to much conservatism, so at least you won't go off
the conservative deep end because Fox doesn't skew that way.
But they do have some good folks on there. There
are some good folks that do have But back to
the social phenomenon. Your brand in the public's eye has
(11:06):
everything to do with shaping how much you can accomplish,
and it has everything to do with making the politicians
all in line. And this is what is critically important
Mike Johnson was with Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden
(11:27):
for the UFC fight Saturday night. Nobody knows who Mike
Johnson is. He's the Speaker of the House. There's a
picture on Donald Trump's plane and it's Donald Trump Junior,
President Trump, Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Aiden McDonald's.
(11:54):
And the funny part about the picture is he got
Robert F. Kennedy Junior to eat him, to eat him
quarter pound and fries because he's mister healthy. Right, somebody
had Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, leaning over
Don jor so he would be in the picture. Where
(12:16):
I saw that posted was a news site and most
of the comments were about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Eating
the McDonald's, comments on Elon and who's the dude photobombing
the picture Mike Johnson walking into Madison Square Garden. It
(12:37):
isn't that people don't like him, it's that they don't
know who he is. They don't have a clue or
any interest in learning. But with Donald Trump they do. Now,
those people, if you were to actually sit people down,
and this is not a bad thing. What I'm about
(12:58):
to say this is reality speak.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
In reality. People think it's a judgment. It's not a judgment.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
It's a statement of fact. Is somebody weighs six hundred pounds.
They're fat.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But he's a nice guy, may be the nicest guy ever.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
He's fat. Most people cheering for Donald Trump don't know
much about his policies, but I do, Michael great. Most
people don't. They have a general sense that he is
(13:32):
more like them than the whack jobs on the left are.
They have a general sense that he loves this country.
Sounds like such a simple notion. The fact that we
can say such a thing and it's important. I mean,
it shouldn't be. I think this gives him an incredible mandate.
(13:59):
I love and I don't like to focus on the tiers.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Of the liberals. You can enjoy those all you want.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Because we get distracted from the positive and fixing things.
But here is a political reporter, Mark Caputo and a
New York Towns reporter Herndon clutching their pearls. They simply
cannot understand the Trump phenomenon, and it makes them crazy.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
He's flooded the zone with these picks and forced Republicans
to choose and I think it's interesting to me that
he brought Chulca, Gabbert and RK Junior to the UFC
event last night. He is frankly giving I think, supporter
based permission structure, and he's made these folks stars over
the course of this campaign. I mean, in some ways
it's easy to view this, I think through a different lens,
(14:49):
like this is also just a person who won following
through on campaign promises. He promised retribution, he promised the vengeance,
and he promised these kind of figures having prominent places
in this man and he's delivering it. And for a
lot of those supporters, that is the point of the
Trump vote. And so I don't think that's the fullness
of the electorate we saw on Tuesday. I think there
are for a lot of people, they back Trump probably
(15:10):
as a rejection of the administration and weren't thinking of
this as an endorsement of every single thing he's talked about.
But for the hardcore base, the folks he listens to
the most, they voted for Trump for the purposes of
RFK Junior riling the big pharma right, and so what
they're going to force those Republican senators to do is
make a choice on those calls, and they will be
(15:31):
doing so with the backing of the electorate. I don't
think it's I think we could just say that they
won't get through.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I will believe it when I see it, Yeah, I mean,
and it really looks like ancient Rome here.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the coliseum and everyone's cheering, and he's got his
political gladiators with him. That appearance isn't just about him
enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the Senate
for sure, like not only are you entertained, but these
are my people and are you willing to fight?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Because here's who I have.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
And are any of us surprised by this? I feel
like for anybody who has been covering Trump's campaign or
his movement the past few years, these picks, Sure they're
raising eyebrows to say the least, but I believe, yes, exactly,
they've been with him at all these rallies. They've played
a key role, and.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That is exactly the point.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
You're a feminine man, and you sissy woman, Yes, the
real man are back in this.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Country where I can't believe he just said that happens
to Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Grump is an interesting cat who I've studied him for
decades before many people were studying him. He was a
social phenomenon I never forget. I quit practicing law, and
(16:59):
before I quit, I took a little home loan, but
I took it as a personal loan, and it was
just a little line of credits ten thousand dollars and
I used that as a down payment on an apartment complex.
It was an abandoned apartment complex, and I went in,
(17:19):
got the power turned back on, got it improved, rented
all the units out and the neighborhood was so happy,
and I flipped it. And I did all that in
four months. And I went and picked up my wife.
We only had one car between us because I had
to sell my car to pay for the repairs.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And I went and picked up my wife.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
She was practicing law of Downtown, and I pulled up
in front of her, and I had a blue e
Cono Line van that I'd bought for two thousand dollars cash,
and it was a delivery van that was hollowed out inside.
And I needed it because I was buying supplies all
day every day, you know, roofing materials and things like this.
(18:02):
And it was raggedy and it didn't have a seat
for the passenger. So I'd gone to home depot and
bought a chair and I tied it down. So that's
what she's getting into. So she's coming out of a
downtown office building in her nice suit and getting into
this work van. But it was all worth it four
months in when I got a nice paycheck when I
(18:24):
flipped the property. And so i'd been into closing that
day and I hadn't told her this was coming. And
she got in the van and there was a check
on the seat, and her eyes bugged out, and she
looked at me and she said, you're like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
In those days, there were lots.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Of people who made money in America, even lots of
people who made money in real estate. But Donald Trump
was the sign of you'd made money, you were flat.
She in the same way that when I was growing up,
if you'd ask a girl she was dating, you know
your mom's generation, somebody was dating somebody. Is he handsome?
(19:11):
She said, well, he's no Robert Redford. Well, there were
lots of handsome guys. But Robert Redford was what everybody
talked about, as you know, that was kind of the
throwdown you would use for that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Trump has become.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Larger than himself and this is the thing that everybody
wishes they could do, but it's very hard to do.
And in so doing, he also has avoided being pigeonholed
as a Republican in the way that politicians typically do.
(19:55):
He's American before he's Republican, and folks that didn't know
him before twenty sixteen have embraced him and they want
to make him Republican, but anybody who really understands him
understands he's American before he's Republican. Republicans have embraced him,
(20:16):
but a lot of Republicans didn't and still don't.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They work harder against him than the Democrats do.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
But Trump has this incredible skill and I try to
point out things that I think are less obvious or
get less airtime than the obvious. News may have noticed that,
and this next story is an example of that. Trump
(20:43):
will turn on people that are with him at the
drop of a hat. He's like the manager of a
baseball team and or the pitching coach, the minute you
walk about her, you're out now tomorrow or you know,
when your turns back up in the rotation, he'll put
(21:06):
you back in when everybody else.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Says you shouldn't be.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Trump will turn on a friend in a moment, but
he will make friends with people who have been enemies
if it is strategic for him. Comcast is looking to
sell MSNBC. The ratings have taken a nose dive, and
(21:33):
after Trump's win, they see the writing on the wall.
Nobody wants their trash. So Joe Scarborough and his mistress
Maker presents Ki went tomorrow lago to bend the knee
to President Trump. This could not have been easy. I
don't like them, and I know where you're gonna say, Michael,
(21:55):
I don't want them back in. This is the genius
of Donald Trump. Donald Trump knows if he gives them
a bone, he owns them. And this is what separates
Donald Trump from everyone else. This was the Morning Joe
Today on MSNBC.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
Over the past week, Joe and I have heard from
so many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply
dismayed by several of President Elect Trump's cabinet selections, and
they are scared. Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns
on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the
opportunity to speak with the President elect himself. On Friday,
(22:38):
we were given the opportunity to do just that. Joe
and I went to mar A Lago to meet personally
with President elect Trump. It was the first time we
have seen him in seven years now.
Speaker 13 (22:54):
We talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation,
threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.
We talked about that a good bit and that's going
to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show,
has watched it over the past year or over the
past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on
(23:15):
a lot of issues, and we told him so.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
What we did agree on was to rest our communications.
My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he
in the United States profoundly disagreed. That's a task shared
by reporters and commentators alike. We had not spoken to
President Trump since March of twenty twenty, other than a
(23:38):
personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after
the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. In this
meeting President Trump was tearful, he was upbeat. He seemed
interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of
the most divisive issues. And for those asking why we
(23:59):
would go speak to the president elect during such fraught times,
especially between US, I guess I would ask back, why
wouldn't we? Five years of political warfare has fiefully divided
Washington and the country. We have been as clear as
we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President
Trump's actions and words in the coursening of public debate.
(24:22):
But for eighty million Americans, election denialism, public trials January
sixth were not as important.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
As the issues that moved.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
Them to send Donald Trump back to the White House
with their vote. Joe and I realize it's time to
do something different, and that.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
Starts not only Queen Gertrude in Hamlet.
Speaker 14 (24:47):
The lady does protests too much, methinks the.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Incident commander.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
For the Maui fires, remember those a few years ago,
was charged with the rape of a twelve year old,
an ongoing rape for two and a half years. He
was raping this child. Hawaii News Now was Stephanie Lum
(25:26):
with the story.
Speaker 15 (25:27):
Breaking News New details in the indictment of a Maui
fire chief charge with sex assault and continual continuous sexual
assault of a minor. The new court document save Battalian
chief Sean Rogers began abusing the victim in twenty nineteen,
when she was about twelve years old, and the alleged
assaults continued for about two and a half years. Rogers,
(25:47):
who is fifty two years old, turned himself in today
after a warrant was issued for his arrest last week.
Rogers is a twenty five year veteran of the Department
of Fire in Public Safety and was the incident commander
during the August wildfires. Today, MFD Chief Brad Van Tura
said in a statement, we are deeply concerned about the allegations.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Mister Rogers is not.
Speaker 15 (26:08):
Scheduled to work this week and we will continue to
evaluate this situation as more information is available.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
So you've got the incident commander for the Maui fires
charged with rape of a twelve year old. There were
a lot of conspiracies around the Maui fires. What areas
were allowed to burn, what areas were cordoned off and
(26:39):
clearly kept from burning land that the locals owned, versus
land that wealthy celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga
owned by the way. You heard after the campaign that
(27:01):
Kamala Harris paid Oprah Winfrey a million dollars for her support.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That is not true.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
You might have heard that report that Kamala Harris was
paying these people for their support and that she gave
a million dollars to Oprah Winfrey. The number has come
out now and it's verified. It was not a million dollars.
It was two point five million dollars. If you believe
that Donald Trump is Hitler, you wouldn't charge two and
(27:31):
a half million dollars to tell people to vote for
Kamala Harris. If you believe that Donald Trump is Hitler,
you wouldn't make your way to mar A Lago morning
Joe and his mistress Mika to kiss the ring. If
(27:53):
they believed everything they believed, they wouldn't make nice with
him when they see him. But back to the point,
So the incident commander at the time of the Mali
fires turns out was already raping a.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Twelve year old One of.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
You might have noticed this. One of the things the
deep State uses to control people is sexual indiscretions. People
were invited to Epstein Island not because they were charming.
(28:42):
They didn't have to pay to come. They were invited.
Epstein wasn't making money from them. It has been said
by many that other people were paying Epstein's bills. Do
you realize have you ever have you ever coordinated a
(29:02):
dinner party. Let's say you have four couples, a dinner
party for four couples ten people at your house, Or
maybe you hosted your daughter's cheer squad after the football game,
or maybe you hosted a little party for homecoming the
night of homecoming so the kids could come to your
house before they went to the game. It's a nightmare.
(29:24):
Just coordinating with people that your kids go to school
with is a bloody nightmare. You have to do all
those things. You got to get everybody's scheduled, and that's
eight people who aren't that busy, who don't have handlers,
who aren't on tour. Do you know what it's like
(29:47):
to get on the calendar for the people that went
to Epstein Island to just get on their calendar? How
do you coordinate that many people all together and get
them on a plane and get them to Epstein Island.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
They got to really want to be there. Huh.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
You got to be offering something they can't get anywhere else.
Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world.
You've got to be offering something that it is impossible
to get anywhere else, that they want that badly. This
(30:31):
ain't Lola Poalous. So they're showing up for the music.
You've got to be offering something. And I can't say
this enough that it is impossible for anyone else to buy,
but you can provide it if they're not paying for it,
(30:51):
why are you providing it? Because you compromise those people
now you have control over them. What are the odds
that the incident commander in the highly suspicious Mali fires
(31:13):
and you probably know all the conspiracies. I'm not going
into them all today. What if I added to that
that the police commander at the time at the scene
was the guy who had come from Las Vegas where
he had overseen the Las Vegas shooting that we still
(31:35):
don't know anything about. I don't like feeling like I
got the Twilight Zone playing underneath me.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't like, Hey, did you know this?
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Well?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
What about this over here? And what about this over here?
But there has to come a time.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Where we note.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
The coincidences are too many to be ignored. If we
close our eyes, we're blind to the reality. What are
the chances this man was put in that position because
(32:15):
he's a child rapist? What are the chances that twelve
year old was put in front of him, knowing his weakness,
to compromise and control him so that we can steal
the lands of these people. It's much easier not to
(32:36):
think about when you process the things our deep state
is capable of, when you process the things that don't
add up in the JFK assassination, and yet they won't
open the files. I don't want to be known as
a conspiracy guy. I will leave that. Alex Jones is
(32:59):
great at it, and I'm glad he's doing it. Somebody's
got to be out there pushing the envelope. Somebody's got
to be out there saying things that no one else
is saying, and a lot of it ends up coming
out true. Somebody needs to do that. I don't want
to be that far from it.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
But I also have to say, there is no way
this is an accident.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
There is no way these things just coincidentally keep happening.
