Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
And look, so Michael Arry Show is on the air.
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke. I can feel a good
one coming on. It's the Michael Berry Show. Any attempt
to restrict drinking and driving gear is viewed by some
(00:30):
as downright under me. I saw a means good lue
coming on. That was the Kamala Harris, Tim Walls campaign
bus and has said campaign bus for sale one point
two billion dollars. I mean they blew through a billion
(00:53):
dollars and have nothing to show for it. You do
realize it's not all waste. There were people who were
paid kickback money who were on the beach somewhere that
do not care that she lost, or they would have
liked to have won, because if she'd won, that had
(01:15):
been more money, more government money for them. You remember,
she was on a podcast and the timing was awful.
Rather than help the people of North Carolina who had
been hit so hard, she was on a podcast called
(01:36):
Call Her Daddy. And that podcast is known or explicit
sexual talk by a relatively young woman to other young
women about how they can perform better and hey, if
that's somebody's thing, that's her thing, and I suppose that's
(01:58):
the demographic Harris was going Or isn't it interesting that
the same group of people that want to talk about
their various sexual positions and various orifices and all of
that are also obsessed with having abortions. Maybe just maybe
clean up your life a little. Well, the campaign spent
(02:24):
one hundred thousand dollars one hundred thousand dollars to build
a set for that podcast, to make it look like
Kamala had flown out to California where this woman hosts
her podcast, when in fact they built it I guess
(02:45):
in DC. And that woman Alex Cooper, who was at
the New York Times Deal Book summit We'll play you
in a minute. Jeff Bisos was there as well. She
critics is Kamala's campaign There are going to be nuggets
like this that are going to come out as to
(03:07):
how dysfunctional Kamala Harris's campaign was, and this is how
dysfunctional her career is. This is a woman who benefited
from Kamala Harris. This is a woman who you think
would be flattered that they spent all this money, and
(03:28):
she comes away thinking Kamala's people are a bunch of Well,
here's what she.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Said, a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Controversy about that podcast, because you do do you know
what this is? Because in DC, this interview happened in
DC in a hotel.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Uh yeah, not in a hotel.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It was like a random house.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It was like random house. But apparently you can tell
me they spent needing. The Harris campaign spent like one
hundred thousand dollars about this build the studio, not sure
to make it look like it was the studio that
you used in LA.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
My studio that is gorgeous in Los Angeles doesn't even
cost six figures. So I don't know how cardboard walls
could cost six figures.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But but do you think they did that? I mean
you absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
With love to them, Oh my god, it was gorgeous,
but like it wasn't that nice. It wasn't like gorgeous marble. Like, no,
that was not six figures.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
She just said she herself didn't spend one hundred thousand
dollars on her original podcast studio with permanent materials meant
to last, And they threw together a cardboard studio, plywood
(04:55):
fake amusement park walls and spend one hundred thousand dollars.
That's why we are so many trillion dollars in debt
is people with no business savvy who overpay for the
under delivery of goods and services. This is what you
(05:20):
get with people with no business savvy, period, end of story.
We have all known that woman who's married to a
man who goes out and buys a new truck and
a new boat and a sports car, and god knows
(05:42):
what else because he's going through a mid life crisis
that he can't afford and it marrupts the whole family,
or maybe he does it after the divorce. And let's
be fair to the fellas. We all know that fella
who's taking on extra jobs, who's selling his boat, who's
sold his truck, who's doing everything to try to keep
(06:04):
up with his girls, exorbitant spending, Those kind of behaviors
are a reflection of a dark, dumb soul. You can't
have people like that in positions of authority. Those kind
(06:29):
of people would have destroyed this country. And this isn't
all Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris probably didn't even know about this.
She's just surrounded herself with a bunch of people and
these are the people that go on CNN and MSNBC
and call you idiots while your family budget is balanced.
(06:50):
Prepare for a complete meltdown with Laura of the Michael
Berry Show. Some of you will remind numbers that Eric
Swalwell has too claim to fan. Claims to fan. He
is the California Democrat congressman who was caught carrying on
(07:15):
with the Chinese spy name Fang Bang. And he was
so stupid that he was being used by the Chinese
Communist Party. He actually thought that this woman wanted to
sleep with him, because what because you're that suave, So
(07:42):
this spy had taken up with him. He looks a
complete fool out of the deal. You know, there are
certain Democrats that have just crossed over. The shame is
so bad that they've just become a complete and utter
troll Adam Shift. I mean, there's nothing left for them
(08:05):
other than to embrace it. They got no shame left
in them. Well, some of you will remember why. That's
the second second most important reason he's remembered. It is
not for his big brain. The first was his fart
(08:27):
on television. And we've always said these people are full
of plank and they're spouting hot air. But some of
you will remember his fart on live television, which maybe
I lack maturity. You will have to forgive me, but
you remember this, Chris.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
So far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the President used
taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help them cheat
an election.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That is not an edit, friends, that was real, like
one more Time or moone this. It's almost as if
God is looking down and saying, I know that my
people realize this guy is full of it, but I'm
(09:16):
going to punish him with an extra pocket that he's
going to trust in his booty, and we're going to
show that he's got it coming out of both ends.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Chris, so far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the President
used taxpayer dollars to ask the Uprainians to.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Help him cheat an election. Well, California Democrat Zoe Lofgren
was on CNN when she swallowelled on live TV. No,
she didn't have sex with a Chinese spy Ramon, but
she did let one go. And it's a doozy. Power
(10:00):
of the purse is with the legislative branch, not the president.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I do want to ask you because of your
work on the January sixth Committee.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Wait, listen to that again. That power of the purse
is with the legislative branch, not the president. And I
do want to ask you because of your work on
the January sixth Committee. You can't hear it as well
as when you see it in her eyes bulge out.
(10:29):
But I don't care who you are. Farts are funny,
and there will be people. I know, we've had it
over the years when we laugh at certain things. I'll
never forget. Clay Travis went on seeing Inn. Clay Travis
is forever banned from seeing in. I think it was
the best thing for his career. And he said there's
(10:52):
two things I like, and one of the things he
liked his boobs. And they, oh, oh my god. They
was so scandalized. This is how people really talk. Anybody
who pretends to be upset over that. It's just silly,
just absolutely silly. Farts are funny, Okay, They're just funny.
(11:14):
And I don't care how old you are, how young
you are. Farts are funny. And that's why Larry the
cable guy talks about him. Here hear anybody get that
the call of the walking farts. You know matter. Grandma
used to get that all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
She'd want him weak bladders.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You know, every steps you take, I'm gonna get the mail.
Ain't you get to running after something like a machine gun?
Come out here or sometime m dagon cats, Grandpa, hit
the dirt. We're getting shot at. Were getting shot at.
(11:54):
Shut up, grandpa, Grandma got to walk in farts. Now
put your pants on and get out of the detch.
Since we're in a laughing mood, I've been wanting to
play this for a while. It'll work well right here.
And it is the concept that people take themselves too seriously.
And one of the things that we find funny. This
(12:15):
doesn't mean, oh, I'm an addict, Michael Doman, You're gonna
have to get over it. We laugh about things. There's
a group called the Silvan Brothers. They were a nationale
based comedy duo known for their satirical skills on something
called The Silvian Brothers Comedy Hour, which is a public
access TV show in the late eighties, and they developed
a cult following. And this is a bit they did
(12:35):
to make fun of the fact that addicts love to
talk about their addiction. But if you listen carefully, I'll.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Take a drink and I'm all ever smokulo riefer every
nine man.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I was mobile rick, but free base cocaine for that goal,
I don't do it.
Speaker 6 (12:51):

You know, if somebody give it to me, I offered

a g. You know, I want to just sit around
and me and Sally, my girlfriend, will do a little too, uh,
just you know, for fun, you know, every now and then.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And I'll tell you what though about that drink. I
won't drink any tequila. Now I might have a drink, I.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Won't drink tequila because last time I drink at tequila,
I got wild on that stuff. And I'll beat up
Sally and hit Salad and broke a car one day out.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And I don't want to do that anymore.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
But I you know that, and freebach and I will
not freebade cocaine a more.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
The Michael Varie Show continues to use I talked earlier
about the New York Times Deal Book Summit and the
podcast host to ridiculed Kamala Harris for her campaign spending
one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
To rebuild a host podcast studio rather than just fly
Kamala out to California where she was. It was pretty
pretty funny, slapper in the face. I mean that now
that it's clear she's not going to be the president,
and that it's okay to criticize Kamala Harris, everybody's coming
(14:37):
forward and going she's a complete ditch. Her campaign was
in shambles. Well, can you imagine her trying to run
the White House. Gosh. But at that summit, there was
a conversation with Jeff Bisos, And you can't underestimate the
influence of Bisos in this country because not only is
(15:03):
the owner of Washington Post, because of Amazon and how
big a commercial interest Amazon is. And then of course
there's Aws, which is which we came to learn when
Trump was kicked off of Twitter before Elon owned. It
is kind of the back office infrastructure of a lot
of technology warehousing. But I want you to notice the
(15:28):
tone that he uses here. And you know Zuckerberg rushing
to tomorrow Igo to meet with Trump. It's a new
day and these folks. Maybe there can be a transformation
with these folks and an understanding that hey, guys, you
you bought into DEI you did the wrong thing. I
(15:49):
just want you to listen to how he's complimenting Trump. Now,
this never would have been done before. This never would
have been done before. It's a longer clip than I
would normally play, because this is a different Jeff Miso's
And I'll tell you he saw this coming, because remember
he quashed the Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris and
(16:13):
don't underestimate that was a big deal for him. He
had a revolt by his staff over that and by
his listeners. Folks, it is a new day in America.
See see the writing is on the wall, and you
made this happen. Give this a listen.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
If we're talking about Trump, I think it's very interesting.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
I'm actually very optimistic this time around that we're going
to see.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm very hopeful about this. He seems to have a.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Lot of energy around reducing regulation, and my point of view,
if I can help him do that, I'm going to
help him because we do have too much regulation in
this country.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
This country is so set up to.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Grow by the way all of our problems, all of
our economic problems, like if you look at the deficit,
and I mean you know the debt, the national debt,
and how gigantic it is as a portion of GDP.
These are real problems and their real long term problems.
And the way you get out of them is by
outgrowing them. You're going to get You're going to You're
(17:13):
going to solve the problem of the national debt by
making a smaller percentage of GDP, not by shrinking the
national debt, but by growing the GDP. You have to
grow the denominator, and that means you have to grow
GDP at you know, three four five percent a year
and you know, let the national debt grows slower than that.
(17:34):
If you can do that, this is a very manageable problem.
So we need a growth orientation in this country. This
is the most important thing, a growth mindset. And we
are the luckiest country in the world. We have all
these natural resources, including energy independence. We have the best
risk capital system in the world by far.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So, you know, people get confused.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
About why the United States have so much venture success,
so much entrepreneurial success. Why are the big tech companies
here and not somewhere else. What's really going on with
all this dynamism in this country compared to what we
see around elsewhere in the world and the prime There
are a bunch of reasons for that, but the biggest
(18:19):
one eight of ten points there is that we have
better risk capital. So it's not the banking system. You know,
we have a good banking system, but so does Europe.
What's different here is that you can get you can
raise you know, fifty million dollars of seed capital to
do something that only has a ten percent chance of working.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's crazy.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
And but the people who are giving you that seed
capital know that that they're expected value is still positive
in many cases, or they're at least gambling that that's true.
That risk capital system that we have, it's turning out
to be very hard for other countries to duplicate.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
So we have that we have.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
You know, we speak English, and English is turning into
the lingua franca of the whole world. It's a you know,
there's so many advantages here, but we are burdened by
excessive permitting and regulation. You can't build a bridge and all,
he said, you know what they are. We see these
examples all the time. We need to be able to
build solar fields. And so you're optimistic. I'm so proud
(19:25):
about this president the reasons. Very optimistic that President Trump
is serious about this regulatory agenda, and I think he's
going to I think he has a good chance of succeeding.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
What about the idea that he thinks that the press
is the enemy, Well, I I think he.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm going to try to talk him out of that idea.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
I don't think the press is the enemy, and I
don't think you know, he's also you've probably grown in
the last eight years.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
He has to like it's you know, this is not
the case. The press is not the enemy. I hope
you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I hope I'm right too.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Have you Let's go.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Persuade him of this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, let's be talking about but you and I should go.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Let's go talk to him if we could try.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
I really don't I think that this is absolutely I
don't think he's going to see it the same way,
but maybe I'll be wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Was that always your You're always your thought?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
By the way, what I've seen so far is that.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
He is calmer than he was the first time, and
more confident, more settled.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Let me ask one related question that I want to
actually get into space. But it actually is an interesting
segue to space because we were talking earlier this morning
to Sam Altman about Elon Musk and Elon Musk's relationship
with the president. Interestingly, and there's been a lot of
questions about whether there could be the possibility that Elon,
given his proximity, would make things difficult for people who
(20:57):
are his competitors. Elon in the space context, is your
biggest competitor?
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Yes, does this concern you well, there's certainly very able competitors.
I mean, this is an arena where I have the No.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
No, I know he's a great competitor. No, does it
concern you his proximity?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
No, I was headed there.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
But I'm just saying that there's certainly very good competitors.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And you know, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I don't.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
I take it face value what has been said, which
is that you know he is not going to use
his political power to advantage his own companies or to
disadvantage his competitors.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I think that a face value. Again, I could be
wrong about that, but I think it could be true.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
I think he probably is trying to you know, I
think this Department of Government efficiency and that he and
Vivek are helping Trump m.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
And so on.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Again, I'd like to take I have a lot of
I've had a lot of success in life not being cynical,
and I've very rarely been taken advantage of as a result.
It's happened a couple of times, but not very often.
And I think that cynicism, you know, why be cynical
(22:23):
about that. Let's go into it hoping that the stevens
that have been made are correct. That this is going
to be done, you know, above board into public interest,
and if that turns out to be naive.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Well then we'll see. But I actually think it's going
to be great.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I'm hoping I'll answer your question if you be quiet
and let me make a stake. Okay for you only smoke.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Mister Biden.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Look what that means. Our show's coming to a close.
I would like to end the show as much as
I began it. I am mindful that at the end
of the week on Friday, this is the last we
will get to talk to you, and maybe the radio
(23:11):
will get to talk to you as you cross from
the bridge from work or school or pick up or
whatever that is to your family and your home and
hopefully your castle, your respite, your sanctuary, because that's what
a home should be, the people you love the most,
the place you feel most comfortable and secured. And I
(23:35):
hope that you will use this time to maybe, just maybe,
dare I say it, turn off the external inputs, the television,
the internet, because maybe, if we're honest, we weren't as
good a husband or wife, son or daughter, mother, father, brother,
(23:59):
sister as we would like to ideally be to those
around us. That's also an important part of the foundation
of a well functioning democratic republic, because otherwise we end
up with children with drug addictions, we end up with
(24:22):
children in deep therapy, we end up with children who
are wayward because we have duties to that. We end
up with marriages that are not strong, that can't sustain
the wins of economic change and layoffs illness. I was
(24:42):
reading an article this weekend the difference that people feel
in what marriage is going into it versus some people
who are interviewed into their seventies. People go into marriage
with the the idea of wealth accumulation and a steady
(25:04):
sex partner and maybe especially women co parenting. In other words,
it's all going to be positive. Into the seventies and eighties,
older couples look back on that journey together and they
talk about the thing that marriage is, and it's not
(25:27):
meant to depress, because that's not the point. It's the
person that's holding your hand at the hospital when you're sick,
maybe on your deathbed. It's the person that's there with you.
It's the person you go home to when you get
laid off and your whole life is put into a
box and you carry it out. Well, that's an awful feeling,
(25:51):
isn't it. I've never had that happen. Hope I never do,
but most Americans have, or even worse, some people don't
get to box it up. Company says, we'll box it
up and mail it to you. But that's a terrible
feeling to go home if you're the soul breadwinner, to
(26:12):
go home to your wife, typically your partner, your spouse,
your your co parent and have to come home and say, hey,
there's going to be some rocky road ahead me, some
rough water. Today was a bad day because you didn't.
You didn't start today expecting that to be the case.
(26:34):
Kids get in trouble, you get that late night phone call,
kids die, your mom or dad dies, and your spouse
is there with you to go through that awful process
of you know, Jordan Peterson says every man should be
the strongest person at his father's funeral. I never understood
(26:55):
that till my brother died, but it's true. So might
I call upon you in much the way that you
summoned the energy, the focus, the purpose. Some of you
pulled out talents from yourselves you never expected. Some of
you were emboldened in a way you've never seen yourself be,
(27:18):
and you're proud of it, and darnwell should be. To
do everything possible, not to win an election, to change
your country, to save your country. That's a noble thing.
You were going along your life. These were bad Obama one,
(27:40):
Obama one again, Biden one, but you started seeing wait
a second, this isn't about the vagaries of politics anymore.
This is about the very survival of my country. And
I want to take a moment to congratulate you, to
pat you on the back, and I want you you know,
(28:03):
my son, Michael t my oldest, doesn't take compliments well.
And my wife doesn't take compliments well. Crockett, my youngest
loves it. He'll say, that's what's up. Ramon doesn't take
compliments well. And you might be that person too. But
I want you to take a moment and take stock,
because when you understand how important you were to winning
(28:26):
this election, and more important than winning this election to
turning the tide in this country. Look at the list
of companies that have overnight done away with DEI. Look
at the European Union changing their approach here, look at
Zelenski saying yep, Okay, that's fine, I'll end this war.
(28:49):
Look at how the world has changed because of what
you did. Trump didn't do that on his own. Every
single one of you did that with him. This is
truly a movement, not just a man. It is a
movement that will transcend Trump. And that's what he would want.
(29:12):
Just as we continue on carrying the flag that Rush
first raised. Some of you out there are Rush babies.
You didn't come to Rush on your own. You sat
in the backseat of your dad's truck and he was
listening to Rush Limbaugh as he picked you up from school.
Are you sat in the back of your mom's suv
(29:32):
on the way home for practice, and she was listening
to Rush and you did too. And out of that
you grew older and wiser, And maybe you went off
to college or the military, or got married or moved
off and you didn't worry about what was going on
(29:54):
any longer. But when it came time that you had
your own kids home to those values that had been
instilled to you in the backseat. So even as Rush
has passed and the man has gone, the movement lives on,
and this movement will continue to live on. We needed
(30:16):
this victory. I'll tell you, I was scared to death.
I was scared that people were losing hope that we
could win, that it would be possible that we could win,
that they wouldn't cheat us out of everything. This is
our moment, and I just want you to take a
moment to take stock of that moment, because we're going
(30:37):
to need that in the days going forward. We're going
to need to remember that we are winners, that we
are conquerors, that we did do this, that you did this.
Take them moment this weekend, and somebody that you know
that worked very hard to make this happen, just take
them moment and say, hey, you know, I'm happy for
(30:58):
President Trump. I'm proud of President Trump. But Susie, by golly,
I come to think of it, you work very hard
to make this happen. God bless you all.
