Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very Show is on the air. Two hundred
(00:33):
and fifty money. So two and a half centuries after
the birth of Christ, two centuries since the death the
Christian's church was quite different than it is today. It
was developing, it was strengthening, it was spreading. There was
(00:53):
a passion for the word, and there was a Christian
monk named Anthony became Saint Anthony, and he has many,
many terms by which titles by which he is referenced.
Anthony of the Desert is one you'll see. Because he
(01:15):
was the first, he is sometimes called the first monk.
He's not the first monk. He was the first monk
to lead by desertification, going out into the desert. This
sort of what we now considered monk like behavior, monasticism,
(01:37):
living alone, studying, sacrificing, engaged in pure thoughts and pure action.
This sort of behavior is often identified with him, and
is often credited to him as saint like and monastic
(02:00):
take monk like behavior, and he came to be known
probably more. He lived in Egypt, and he left the
city to go out to the desert, which is a
harsh life. As you can imagine and to study to
purify his thought and action, and he came to be
known as Anthony the Great. And what's interesting about him
(02:25):
is that he really internalized the Christian life and the
Christian faith and spoke to the individual about the society
around them. I've read a lot about him, but not
(02:45):
a good biography. And I've asked of Eddie Martini's brother
Fatherly is a priest, and I've asked him for a
good biography on him, and when I find it out,
I'll share it. But there is a line that he
wrote that I would advise you for so many of
you who are going through what I'm talking about, And
(03:10):
he said, the days are coming when men will go mad,
and when they meet a man who has kept his senses,
they will rise up against him, saying you are mad
because you are not like us. You've surely heard thee
(03:35):
Orwell line. In a time of universal deceit, telling the
truth is a revolutionary when you see someone speak out
about COVID, when you see someone speak out about an
issue where the conventional wisdom says you don't you don't
(03:59):
defy this, you just go along, even though secretly we
all know or question that may not be true. The
term mad is used in this translation for crazy. The
days are coming when men will go mad, and when
(04:22):
they meet a man who has kept his senses, they
will rise up against him, saying, you are mad because
you are not like us. Christopher Hitchins often quoted the
(04:45):
story of Socrates, who, for his scientific advancements, had been
called by the Church elders, who were the leaders of
both the church and the nation. And he had been
accused of a crime punishable by death, and that crime
was blasphemy. And he was called before the elders to
(05:11):
explain this blasphemy of his scientific developments and writings, theories
which we would later embrace, in which would be central
to our world of science. And he was brought before
the church elders to defend himself against penalty of death.
(05:38):
So here was Socrates, a man who should be honored,
the nobel prize of his day, the Einstein of his day,
the Jonas Sawk of his day, Gregor Mendel of his day,
this great man of his era. But he wasn't being
(06:01):
called forward to be honored. He was being called forward
to be judged and to be killed, that he betray
what he knew to be true, because in a time
(06:22):
of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
The teachings of the church and the state at the
time were at best naive. They couldn't reconcile science with faith.
(06:44):
Their ecumenical teachings had to be above the scientific teachings,
and Socrates was to be put to death and Hitchin So,
of course, was a known atheist and used this as
an example of the horrors of the church. And he
and I just have a disagreement on that, and that's okay.
(07:06):
But imagine a moment. Imagine how Socrates felt. Here was
the state condemning the individual. Lest he say, no, no,
I've changed my mind. You are the wise ones. I
(07:28):
will bend my need to you. You are the ones
that are right, and I am wrong. How dare I question?
The days are coming when men will go mad, and
when they meet a man who has kept his senses,
(07:50):
they will rise up against him, saying, you are mad
because you are not like us. So many people like
to throw a man overboard today because his very bravery
(08:12):
in descent is an indictment of their own inaction. They're fair.
The words of George Ben aren't shore and the words
that were taken by robint f p.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
These children speak Chinese and Spanish.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Michael, when Rush got married and Elton John performed in
the media, one to make him out to be this
awful person for for performing for Elton John performing for
Wrestling Ball, and they asked him, why did you do that?
(08:51):
And he said two reasons. Number one, he paid me
a million dollars. Number two, he likes my music. That's
what I did. I play my music for people who
like it, who can pay the rate that I demand.
And it was and I loved that Rush was unabashed
(09:12):
about it, like I like Alton. To them, we got
a million bucks, I gonna pay him to play it.
It was incredible. It was absolutely wonderful. A number of
you have asked this question, so I feel like I
need to address it. I have consulted some different folks.
I do have two law degrees, but I don't practice law,
(09:33):
and some things you really need to be in the
practice to understand how this is most likely to play out.
But a number of you have heard it said on
different TV shows that because Hunter Biden has been pardoned,
(09:54):
he can no longer plead the fifth and let me
play for you what Senator Tom had to say about that,
and then we'll speak to that.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So wait and see who else Joe Biden partons, because again,
if he pardons his brother and maybe a sister, maybe
some of Hunter Biden's corrupt businessmen, there may not be
anything left to investigate, at least for criminal liability. I
will say this though, Joe Biden may come to regret
this decision because having given his son a blanket pardon
(10:24):
of eleven years to include time when Joe Biden was
Vice president, Hunter Biden now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Can't plead the fifth.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
If he appears before Congress or appears before a grand jury,
he has to testify about exactly what he was up to,
for instance, when he was traveling to China on Air
Force two and meeting with Chinese communist princelings, or why
he was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to
sit on a Ukrainian energy company's board for which he
(10:52):
had no qualifications. So that may be one unintended consequence
of this pardon that Joe Biden didn't fully think through.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But what people are not understanding, and I want to
make sure you do yes, I believe Hunter Biden can
be compelled to testify and won't be able to plead
the fifth. You need to understand, because I don't think
this is this is this is being connected if he's
(11:25):
asked a question with regard to his own involvement, where
he has legal jeopardy and when would that happen? Okay,
this this pardon only covers federal cases. It doesn't cover
state charges that he may get, as I understand it.
(11:46):
So if there's a separate investigation, okay, where he wouldn't
be able to plead the fifth because he is protected
is in cases where as he noted there his uncle,
his business partners, his business partners at Seneca Capital. He's
not the only one that's been involved in all this.
(12:08):
Remember what all Tony Bob y Lensky said. It was
a lot more than just Hunter and his dad. This
was a scheme. It's a Rico violation, is what it is.
Because there's a group of them scheming to defraud the
United States government and commit treason, and it's it's going
(12:33):
to be very interesting. Indeed, let me get to this
cause I've been I just want to gloat for a
moment since we've been talking about Rush Limbaugh. He used
to refer to Chuck Todd as f Chuck Todd, and
I loved it so much, and I miss Rush, and
I know you do. And I want to go to
break on this so that we still retain time for him.
(12:55):
You remember when that smug Chuck Todd said that Hunter's
guilty verdict in his court case had actually hurt Donald Trump.
You remember that. Let's go back. It was on MSNBC.
Let's go back and enjoy that moment together.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
If Biden has lost something with the American people over
the last few years, it's that reminder that you know,
he is sort of the opposite of Trump on empathy, right,
He's the opposite of Trump on some.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Of these things.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
And I think this verdict their reaction to it versus
how the Trumps have reacted to the rule of law. Certainly,
I think presents that character contrast, you know, with a
group of voters who are not you know, by those
that are left that are not happy with their choices.
And I think, you know, to try to figure out
(13:48):
who this politically benefits, I think this it hurts Trump hard.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Stop.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You don't know if these things help Biden at all.
But it certainly hurts Trump because I think his rhetoric
about a rigged system really works against him when you
look at all of the supposed advantages that the Bidens
had in this case. Right, it was a person that
was appointed by Merrick Garland. As Claire mccaskell pointed out,
Joe Biden had the power to stop this if he
(14:15):
chose to. If he chose to pervert the rule of law,
he could have done that, but he chose not to
do that. This was a Delaware jury who the Bidens
have won many of Biden has won many election in
that state, and we know all of those are registered voters,
perhaps all of them or most of them have voted
for a Biden at least once in their life. And
(14:36):
that still showed you that the rule of law was
able to state above the political phrase. So look, I
think the most important thing to come out of today
is the American system. Again, I challenge you to find
me another country where their son, the leader's son or
daughter at the moment, would be prosecuted like this the
(14:57):
way it happened here.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
What ye dad?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Allow me to introduce myself.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
My name is Mitch and Michael Perry genius j C.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You're old Michael Berry show go ahead, you doing sir?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Uh? Yeah, we take out veterans hunting.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
We partner up with another group and they bring veterans
out that have been in combat and we get to
spend We've been doing it for about four or five
years now.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
We get to spend at.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Least the weekend with them, and it's really impactful in
their lives and on ours. Uh. You get to hear
some stories that are amazing. Touch your touch your heart,
make you realize how blessed we are here to how
easy our lives actually are. We'll hear what they go through.
But one of the first guys I took took out hunting.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Uh, he might get a choke dats to bear with me?
A really good friends.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Hey, you get choked up because you care so passionately
about veterans and the experience you gave them. I got
a note you take all the time you want to
turn it off on my car.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
So we became really good friends. Funny story is about it.
We were out on I had three.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Of them with me.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
They wanted to go try to get some coyote's, so
I set up a coyote call, and I knew probably
weren't going to see anything because we weren't hearing them.
And we've been snaring them pretty good. So we put
a good debt in the population. So I set up
the kyod call. Get them all in different areas where
we have different lengths to shoot out of us. And
I laid down next to Jonathan and uh, we're sitting there,
sitting there, and he hunted a lot in his life.
And he looked at me and he goes, they ain't coming,
(16:34):
are they you? I don't think they are. He goes, man,
can we go look for some sheds? I said, yeh, absolutely, man,
we'll go look for some sheds. Talking about antler sheds
that fall off every year.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I thought that was hunting. Okay, all right, go ahead, No.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
No shed it's actually sheds off. They said, their antlers
every year, and you can walk around and pick them up.
Pretty cool deal. And so we're walking around and you know,
just two guys in the woods, and I said, man,
so I don't, I said, I I'm a very blunt person.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Man, I don't.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I don't know how to say it. But you seem
pretty normal, man. So what what's up with you? And
uh he uh, He's like, man, I've got a tv
I and PTSD. So he was actually uh his paint
got hit by an ied and he was actually m
I for twenty one days. And uh that started our
relationship right there, and uh, every year since then, it's
been coming up on three years now.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
We meet up at least once a year.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
He actually we just did a veteran hunt two weekends
ago and then he came in a few David brother
skin and flew in and.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
We went back to the ranch and did some hunting and.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Uh we were sitting, Uh we were sitting up tutting,
and I could tell he was getting Uh. We were
talking and you know, talking to get deep over some
some beers and some whisky drinks, and uh one of
my wife' friends was there and she went and decided.
My wife, she's like, I think we're getting hereed She's like,
leave them alone, let them do the things they got
to get this, you know, get it off their chest.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
And she's been around to them, so she's just like,
let them be. And uh, he's taught.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Us about somebody that he served with that he he
helped train. I guess and he's worth a bracelet on
his wrist. You know, it says, Uh, I'm gonna read
it real quick. I guess it's the seneth Porporal David
Jay Vines sam Chez in US Marine Corps Iraqi Freedom
eleven six KIA. And he's always had this bracelet on
(18:19):
him and when he goes out on trips or hunts
or whatever, he takes pictures with that thing.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
And and said it to.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
That guy's dad, who is now a very good friend
slash father to him and sends pictures to him and
his memory and his honor.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And uh.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
He looked at us, me and my buddy Jason, that
we've all become real good a friends and said, hey,
I want to do something with Jill. He took that
bracelet off and put it down next to us. He said,
I'm gonna be back in the year. I want you
to wear it for six months, and you to wear
it for six months and take pictures and send.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Them to me so I can send him to his dad.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
And he hasn't taken this bracelet off in years. And
to be entrusted with something like that is is really amazing.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
And you know it all started over relationships over a
deer hunt.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
And I've dealt with several of these guys now, and
we look at it as age just a deer, man.
It's you know, if you have a scalehere, you put
one thing on one side and one on the other,
it goes up and down. We look at what they
did and that scale is waited down heavy on their side,
and we look at it going. Man, we just all
were to being able to give you a hunt and
gives you a deer and just listen to y'all and
talk with y'all, and it's just no comparison. The one
(19:26):
thing I've learned is it's the exact opposite to them.
It's not just a deer to them. Hearing some of
these stories, one of the guys told us that one
of his friends, you know, was blown up missing an arm,
the leg type deal, and always turned down in these
hunts and finally went on one because he was debating
suicide and shot a deer and was able to put
food on the table. And he told us that literally
(19:48):
this saved that man's life. One of these hunts that
he realized he's still a man, he can still put
food on his table to support his family and man
if y'all have opportunities to you own a ranch or
you're part of something, whether it's hunting, fishing, I know
they do fishing trips, to do all kinds of stuff.
Reach out to to these different organizations, and one we
deal with is a combat Ring out doors, which was
started by two Marines, but they do every branch in
(20:09):
the military and they bring.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
These guys out. Man, it's truly life changing.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
For them and you get to see them decompressed. And
two weekends ago, the one night he had TBI and PTSD,
he was hit by three IED's.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
And he just looked at me while.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
We were in the stand and he said, man, thank
you so much. I was able to unplug for three
days and I really felt.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Peace for the first time in a while. So it's
it's an amazing experience for everybody.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
J C.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
First of all, thank you for doing that. And I
suspect you would agree with my assessment that you took
more away from that time you spent with that better
and than he did. And that's not to diminish what
it meant to him. It's that very few things in
life will give you the fulfillment that that did.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah, and it's and I've been blessed with a good family,
wife and kids that you know, they let me take
time away from our schedule to go do this for them,
and it's given. Though my family's not always there, my
family's there and we're all saying thank you to them,
and Danny any better than who is service, thank you?
Speaker 8 (21:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yes. One of the things I'll tell you that I've
been doing radio for seventeen years, and I've had other careers,
and I've done things for people in some way or another.
And I often say this, and it makes people uncomfortable,
but it is true. People don't want to admit this,
but that which we do for other people we do
(21:43):
because we are selfish, extremely selfish. Now people will say,
I am so selfless. I do things for other people,
to help other people. If doing things to help other
people did not give us a sense of fulfilment on
a profound level, we wouldn't do it. We wouldn't. And
(22:05):
I will tell you that we landed on combat Veterans
with PTSD and that has occupied a great deal of
my energy since then. It's been ten years now. We
just celebrated ten years Camp Hope and the Beauty is
especially for guys if you if you are a hunting
and fishing guy, you got to realize the people who
(22:25):
went and served in Afghanistan and Iraq. You think about
the demographic, A large number of those guys are rednecks
from small towns that love to hunt and fish. And
when you think about you got something that you don't
even think of. You it's deer hunting season. You go
deer hunt, or you go out fishing, or you know,
(22:46):
you do outdoors activities. Man, that's you could take that
guy to the ball game, Sure, that's fine, but you
take him fishing. Oh man, And I will, I will
promise you this.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
I will.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I will make this guarantee to you if you do
that for a combat veterans suffering from PTSD. You get
out there, you'll feel so good about yourself as you're going,
I'm gonna take some veterans out because you want the credit, right,
I'm gonna take some veterans out. I'm gonna do this,
And you'll get out there and the new will wear
off of that penny, the shine will wear off, and
(23:21):
a few hours into it, you will realize you are
going to gain more from this experience than that guy
is because this is going to put it all into perspective.
Because you sleep like a baby through the night, because
you have full use of all your appendages, you will
find because you don't have horrible nightmares and desires to
kill yourself, and you don't have tattoos that remind you
(23:44):
of their buddy who they had to carry to the
helicopter to be hauled away so that he could be
brought home at least as a body to be buried.
Those are things you never forget. You will from that
experience be forever change you got the Michael Berry's show
men and women's brains do work differently. It's amazing everything
(24:08):
we've known for thousands of years has all of a
sudden been upended in about a ten year period. The
Left running around saying the most ridiculous things and nobody
actually believes them except for really stupid, low information people
and people who want to be nice. I've decided that
(24:30):
people who just want to be nice, no matter what
crazy idea somebody comes up with a big part of
the problem. Well, if if he says he's a girl,
who am I to telling me he's not a girl? Uh,
a human with a brain because he's not a girl. Well,
what does it hurt to just call him a girl
if it makes him happy? Poor thing, You're the problem.
(24:53):
You're an enabler. You are an enabler because all they
need is an for you going well, don't pick on
Hi means if he wants to be a girl, porre dying.
That's the problem. The Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences has issued a structling discovery startling, I tell you,
(25:15):
not startling, strutling. The brains of men and women work differently.
Let me repeat that, The Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences has issued a startling discovery. The brains of
men and women work differently. This is groundbreaking stuff, folks.
(25:38):
We've always known that men and women show love differently.
You show love through love.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
We don't do that. We show love through sacrifice. So
a lot of times we'll be loving you and you
don't even know. For example, right we're sitting on the
couch at home, cuddled up, chilling watching movies. You've got
your leg on top of my leg.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I don't want your legs.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Point in time during this movie. Am I gonna baby you?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Don't make this better.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
If I had no feeling from.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
The hip down, that would really prove my movie.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Watching the situation.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
If I had like one leg with blood in it, right,
and then one Lieutenant Dan, that would be perfect. I
want to ask you to take your leg off my leg,
but you can't.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
There's no way you don't ask that, and then it
goes well right, no matter.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
How nice you say it. Oh baby, you.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Know your legs are made of clouds.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Let me get out out there.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Amazing, and not even the cumulatimbus ones, like the thin ones,
like the little you don't even know.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is that a cloud? And what is it?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Right?
Speaker 8 (27:01):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I was just wondering if.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You could take your little cloud high and give me
some sunshine. You can say that, but all she hears
is get your fat dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thigh off of the human beast?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Holy?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Are you a centaur? Is that what you are?
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Because you look like a human but your legs feel.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like a horse. Holy, see Bisson, what the your legs
should be hanging in.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
A Spanish restaurant with a shaved.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Ham off of it?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That's put your legs you're made out of month, said
I know that's what you are, so instead we just
sit there let you crush our legs.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You ever wonder why every old man is a cane?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's so true. We know, and always haven't known, that
men and women show love differently. Scientists have never been
able to definitively prove that our brains work differently, even
though we all know they do. Women will admit this.
(28:10):
Women will admit that this is not my wife, but
I do know friends who have wives, and this is
a common one. That the wife will have a dream
that her husband is cheating on her, and she'll see it.
She'll witness her husband is cheating on her with her sister,
(28:33):
with his workmate, with the neighbor. She will wake up
from the dream angry at him for what was in
the dream, and be angry with him for the whole
day because she had a dream, even though the dream
(28:54):
is not real, And some women will admit to that.
In the research, the team used explainable AI, a type
of computer learning which can sift through vast amounts of
data to explain why an effect is taking place. The
model was shown MRI scans of working brains and told
(29:17):
whether it was looking at a man or a woman.
So here's the data, here's the scans. Science. Over time,
the neural network began to pick out subtle differences between
the sexes that had been missed by humans. When the
researchers tested the model on about fifteen hundred brain scans,
(29:39):
the model was able to tell that the scan came
from a man or a woman more than ninety percent
of the time. Experts are hopeful that finding differences between
male and female brains could be crucial in tackling neurological
or psychiatric conditions that affect men and women differently. For example,
(30:00):
women are twice as likely as men to experience clinical depression,
while men are more at risk of drug and alcohol
dependence and dyslexia. The brain areas discovered in the study
are often associated with neurological disease. There's still some debate
(30:20):
as to why the male and female brains work differently.
Some scientists say it's biological, while others say it is
societal nature versus nurture. You don't have to be a
scientist with a fancy AI machine to know that men
(30:41):
and women think differently. This isn't groundbreaking stuff. Comedians like
Jerry Seinfeld and lots of others have been making a
good living for decades talking about this and do these things.
Why are they acting these ways?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Why are men rude, obnoxious, getting drunk, screaming out, peeling out, rubber,
making kissing noises? Why why telling awful jokes? Why have
men behave so badly? I know what you ladies are thinking. No, no,
not my guy. I'm working with them. He's coming along.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
No he's not. He's tricking you. Men are not developing,
we're not improving.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
We men know, no matter how poorly we behave, it
seems we somehow end up with women.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Anyway. Look around this room. Look at all the men.
You see them, beautiful women, men are with them.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
What do you think these are special men, gifted, highly unusual,
one of a kind man. These are the same jerks
and idiots that I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They're doing fine.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Men as an organization are getting more women than any
other group working anywhere in the world today. Wherever women are,
we have men looking into the situation right now. We
explored the earth looking for women, even went to the
moon just see if there.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Was any woman there. That's why we brought that little car.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Why was you bringing a car unless there's some chance
of going on a day.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
So there you have it. Men and women are different. Okay, Then,
now that we've come to this dramatic conclusion that we've
known for thousands of years, sort of like we're headed
the wrong direction as a society, do you notice that
it's almost as if it's time for us to stand
up for truth so it's not destroyed by the idiots
(32:41):
on the left.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very Show is on the air. Two hundred
(00:33):
and fifty money. So two and a half centuries after
the birth of Christ, two centuries since the death the
Christian's church was quite different than it is today. It
was developing, it was strengthening, it was spreading. There was
(00:53):
a passion for the word, and there was a Christian
monk named Anthony became Saint Anthony, and he has many,
many terms by which titles by which he is referenced.
Anthony of the Desert is one you'll see. Because he
(01:15):
was the first, he is sometimes called the first monk.
He's not the first monk. He was the first monk
to lead by desertification, going out into the desert. This
sort of what we now considered monk like behavior, monasticism,
(01:37):
living alone, studying, sacrificing, engaged in pure thoughts and pure action.
This sort of behavior is often identified with him, and
is often credited to him as saint like and monastic
(02:00):
take monk like behavior, and he came to be known
probably more. He lived in Egypt, and he left the
city to go out to the desert, which is a
harsh life. As you can imagine and to study to
purify his thought and action, and he came to be
known as Anthony the Great. And what's interesting about him
(02:25):
is that he really internalized the Christian life and the
Christian faith and spoke to the individual about the society
around them. I've read a lot about him, but not
(02:45):
a good biography. And I've asked of Eddie Martini's brother
Fatherly is a priest, and I've asked him for a
good biography on him, and when I find it out,
I'll share it. But there is a line that he
wrote that I would advise you for so many of
you who are going through what I'm talking about, And
(03:10):
he said, the days are coming when men will go mad,
and when they meet a man who has kept his senses,
they will rise up against him, saying you are mad
because you are not like us. You've surely heard thee
(03:35):
Orwell line. In a time of universal deceit, telling the
truth is a revolutionary when you see someone speak out
about COVID, when you see someone speak out about an
issue where the conventional wisdom says you don't you don't
(03:59):
defy this, you just go along, even though secretly we
all know or question that may not be true. The
term mad is used in this translation for crazy. The
days are coming when men will go mad, and when
(04:22):
they meet a man who has kept his senses, they
will rise up against him, saying, you are mad because
you are not like us. Christopher Hitchins often quoted the
(04:45):
story of Socrates, who, for his scientific advancements, had been
called by the Church elders, who were the leaders of
both the church and the nation. And he had been
accused of a crime punishable by death, and that crime
was blasphemy. And he was called before the elders to
(05:11):
explain this blasphemy of his scientific developments and writings, theories
which we would later embrace, in which would be central
to our world of science. And he was brought before
the church elders to defend himself against penalty of death.
(05:38):
So here was Socrates, a man who should be honored,
the nobel prize of his day, the Einstein of his day,
the Jonas Sawk of his day, Gregor Mendel of his day,
this great man of his era. But he wasn't being
(06:01):
called forward to be honored. He was being called forward
to be judged and to be killed, that he betray
what he knew to be true, because in a time
(06:22):
of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
The teachings of the church and the state at the
time were at best naive. They couldn't reconcile science with faith.
(06:44):
Their ecumenical teachings had to be above the scientific teachings,
and Socrates was to be put to death and Hitchin So,
of course, was a known atheist and used this as
an example of the horrors of the church. And he
and I just have a disagreement on that, and that's okay.
(07:06):
But imagine a moment. Imagine how Socrates felt. Here was
the state condemning the individual. Lest he say, no, no,
I've changed my mind. You are the wise ones. I
(07:28):
will bend my need to you. You are the ones
that are right, and I am wrong. How dare I question?
The days are coming when men will go mad, and
when they meet a man who has kept his senses,
(07:50):
they will rise up against him, saying, you are mad
because you are not like us. So many people like
to throw a man overboard today because his very bravery
(08:12):
in descent is an indictment of their own inaction. They're fair.
The words of George Ben aren't shore and the words
that were taken by robint f p.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
These children speak Chinese and Spanish.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Michael, when Rush got married and Elton John performed in
the media, one to make him out to be this
awful person for for performing for Elton John performing for
Wrestling Ball, and they asked him, why did you do that?
(08:51):
And he said two reasons. Number one, he paid me
a million dollars. Number two, he likes my music. That's
what I did. I play my music for people who
like it, who can pay the rate that I demand.
And it was and I loved that Rush was unabashed
(09:12):
about it, like I like Alton. To them, we got
a million bucks, I gonna pay him to play it.
It was incredible. It was absolutely wonderful. A number of
you have asked this question, so I feel like I
need to address it. I have consulted some different folks.
I do have two law degrees, but I don't practice law,
(09:33):
and some things you really need to be in the
practice to understand how this is most likely to play out.
But a number of you have heard it said on
different TV shows that because Hunter Biden has been pardoned,
(09:54):
he can no longer plead the fifth and let me
play for you what Senator Tom had to say about that,
and then we'll speak to that.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So wait and see who else Joe Biden partons, because again,
if he pardons his brother and maybe a sister, maybe
some of Hunter Biden's corrupt businessmen, there may not be
anything left to investigate, at least for criminal liability. I
will say this though, Joe Biden may come to regret
this decision because having given his son a blanket pardon
(10:24):
of eleven years to include time when Joe Biden was
Vice president, Hunter Biden now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Can't plead the fifth.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
If he appears before Congress or appears before a grand jury,
he has to testify about exactly what he was up to,
for instance, when he was traveling to China on Air
Force two and meeting with Chinese communist princelings, or why
he was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to
sit on a Ukrainian energy company's board for which he
(10:52):
had no qualifications. So that may be one unintended consequence
of this pardon that Joe Biden didn't fully think through.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But what people are not understanding, and I want to
make sure you do yes, I believe Hunter Biden can
be compelled to testify and won't be able to plead
the fifth. You need to understand, because I don't think
this is this is this is being connected if he's
(11:25):
asked a question with regard to his own involvement, where
he has legal jeopardy and when would that happen? Okay,
this this pardon only covers federal cases. It doesn't cover
state charges that he may get, as I understand it.
(11:46):
So if there's a separate investigation, okay, where he wouldn't
be able to plead the fifth because he is protected
is in cases where as he noted there his uncle,
his business partners, his business partners at Seneca Capital. He's
not the only one that's been involved in all this.
(12:08):
Remember what all Tony Bob y Lensky said. It was
a lot more than just Hunter and his dad. This
was a scheme. It's a Rico violation, is what it is.
Because there's a group of them scheming to defraud the
United States government and commit treason, and it's it's going
(12:33):
to be very interesting. Indeed, let me get to this
cause I've been I just want to gloat for a
moment since we've been talking about Rush Limbaugh. He used
to refer to Chuck Todd as f Chuck Todd, and
I loved it so much, and I miss Rush, and
I know you do. And I want to go to
break on this so that we still retain time for him.
(12:55):
You remember when that smug Chuck Todd said that Hunter's
guilty verdict in his court case had actually hurt Donald Trump.
You remember that. Let's go back. It was on MSNBC.
Let's go back and enjoy that moment together.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
If Biden has lost something with the American people over
the last few years, it's that reminder that you know,
he is sort of the opposite of Trump on empathy, right,
He's the opposite of Trump on some.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Of these things.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
And I think this verdict their reaction to it versus
how the Trumps have reacted to the rule of law. Certainly,
I think presents that character contrast, you know, with a
group of voters who are not you know, by those
that are left that are not happy with their choices.
And I think, you know, to try to figure out
(13:48):
who this politically benefits, I think this it hurts Trump hard.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Stop.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You don't know if these things help Biden at all.
But it certainly hurts Trump because I think his rhetoric
about a rigged system really works against him when you
look at all of the supposed advantages that the Bidens
had in this case. Right, it was a person that
was appointed by Merrick Garland. As Claire mccaskell pointed out,
Joe Biden had the power to stop this if he
(14:15):
chose to. If he chose to pervert the rule of law,
he could have done that, but he chose not to
do that. This was a Delaware jury who the Bidens
have won many of Biden has won many election in
that state, and we know all of those are registered voters,
perhaps all of them or most of them have voted
for a Biden at least once in their life. And
(14:36):
that still showed you that the rule of law was
able to state above the political phrase. So look, I
think the most important thing to come out of today
is the American system. Again, I challenge you to find
me another country where their son, the leader's son or
daughter at the moment, would be prosecuted like this the
(14:57):
way it happened here.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
What ye dad?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Allow me to introduce myself.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
My name is Mitch and Michael Perry genius j C.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You're old Michael Berry show go ahead, you doing sir?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Uh? Yeah, we take out veterans hunting.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
We partner up with another group and they bring veterans
out that have been in combat and we get to
spend We've been doing it for about four or five
years now.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
We get to spend at.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Least the weekend with them, and it's really impactful in
their lives and on ours. Uh. You get to hear
some stories that are amazing. Touch your touch your heart,
make you realize how blessed we are here to how
easy our lives actually are. We'll hear what they go through.
But one of the first guys I took took out hunting.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Uh, he might get a choke dats to bear with me?
A really good friends.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Hey, you get choked up because you care so passionately
about veterans and the experience you gave them. I got
a note you take all the time you want to
turn it off on my car.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
So we became really good friends. Funny story is about it.
We were out on I had three.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Of them with me.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
They wanted to go try to get some coyote's, so
I set up a coyote call, and I knew probably
weren't going to see anything because we weren't hearing them.
And we've been snaring them pretty good. So we put
a good debt in the population. So I set up
the kyod call. Get them all in different areas where
we have different lengths to shoot out of us. And
I laid down next to Jonathan and uh, we're sitting there,
sitting there, and he hunted a lot in his life.
And he looked at me and he goes, they ain't coming,
(16:34):
are they you? I don't think they are. He goes, man,
can we go look for some sheds? I said, yeh, absolutely, man,
we'll go look for some sheds. Talking about antler sheds
that fall off every year.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I thought that was hunting. Okay, all right, go ahead, No.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
No shed it's actually sheds off. They said, their antlers
every year, and you can walk around and pick them up.
Pretty cool deal. And so we're walking around and you know,
just two guys in the woods, and I said, man,
so I don't, I said, I I'm a very blunt person.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Man, I don't.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
I don't know how to say it. But you seem
pretty normal, man. So what what's up with you? And
uh he uh, He's like, man, I've got a tv
I and PTSD. So he was actually uh his paint
got hit by an ied and he was actually m
I for twenty one days. And uh that started our
relationship right there, and uh, every year since then, it's
been coming up on three years now.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
We meet up at least once a year.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
He actually we just did a veteran hunt two weekends
ago and then he came in a few David brother
skin and flew in and.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
We went back to the ranch and did some hunting and.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Uh we were sitting, Uh we were sitting up tutting,
and I could tell he was getting Uh. We were
talking and you know, talking to get deep over some
some beers and some whisky drinks, and uh one of
my wife' friends was there and she went and decided.
My wife, she's like, I think we're getting hereed She's like,
leave them alone, let them do the things they got
to get this, you know, get it off their chest.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
And she's been around to them, so she's just like,
let them be. And uh, he's taught.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Us about somebody that he served with that he he
helped train. I guess and he's worth a bracelet on
his wrist. You know, it says, Uh, I'm gonna read
it real quick. I guess it's the seneth Porporal David
Jay Vines sam Chez in US Marine Corps Iraqi Freedom
eleven six KIA. And he's always had this bracelet on
(18:19):
him and when he goes out on trips or hunts
or whatever, he takes pictures with that thing.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
And and said it to.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
That guy's dad, who is now a very good friend
slash father to him and sends pictures to him and
his memory and his honor.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And uh.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
He looked at us, me and my buddy Jason, that
we've all become real good a friends and said, hey,
I want to do something with Jill. He took that
bracelet off and put it down next to us. He said,
I'm gonna be back in the year. I want you
to wear it for six months, and you to wear
it for six months and take pictures and send.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Them to me so I can send him to his dad.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
And he hasn't taken this bracelet off in years. And
to be entrusted with something like that is is really amazing.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
And you know it all started over relationships over a
deer hunt.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
And I've dealt with several of these guys now, and
we look at it as age just a deer, man.
It's you know, if you have a scalehere, you put
one thing on one side and one on the other,
it goes up and down. We look at what they
did and that scale is waited down heavy on their side,
and we look at it going. Man, we just all
were to being able to give you a hunt and
gives you a deer and just listen to y'all and
talk with y'all, and it's just no comparison. The one
(19:26):
thing I've learned is it's the exact opposite to them.
It's not just a deer to them. Hearing some of
these stories, one of the guys told us that one
of his friends, you know, was blown up missing an arm,
the leg type deal, and always turned down in these
hunts and finally went on one because he was debating
suicide and shot a deer and was able to put
food on the table. And he told us that literally
(19:48):
this saved that man's life. One of these hunts that
he realized he's still a man, he can still put
food on his table to support his family and man
if y'all have opportunities to you own a ranch or
you're part of something, whether it's hunting, fishing, I know
they do fishing trips, to do all kinds of stuff.
Reach out to to these different organizations, and one we
deal with is a combat Ring out doors, which was
started by two Marines, but they do every branch in
(20:09):
the military and they bring.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
These guys out. Man, it's truly life changing.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
For them and you get to see them decompressed. And
two weekends ago, the one night he had TBI and PTSD,
he was hit by three IED's.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
And he just looked at me while.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
We were in the stand and he said, man, thank
you so much. I was able to unplug for three
days and I really felt.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Peace for the first time in a while. So it's
it's an amazing experience for everybody.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
J C.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
First of all, thank you for doing that. And I
suspect you would agree with my assessment that you took
more away from that time you spent with that better
and than he did. And that's not to diminish what
it meant to him. It's that very few things in
life will give you the fulfillment that that did.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah, and it's and I've been blessed with a good family,
wife and kids that you know, they let me take
time away from our schedule to go do this for them,
and it's given. Though my family's not always there, my
family's there and we're all saying thank you to them,
and Danny any better than who is service, thank you?
Speaker 8 (21:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yes. One of the things I'll tell you that I've
been doing radio for seventeen years, and I've had other careers,
and I've done things for people in some way or another.
And I often say this, and it makes people uncomfortable,
but it is true. People don't want to admit this,
but that which we do for other people we do
(21:43):
because we are selfish, extremely selfish. Now people will say,
I am so selfless. I do things for other people,
to help other people. If doing things to help other
people did not give us a sense of fulfilment on
a profound level, we wouldn't do it. We wouldn't. And
(22:05):
I will tell you that we landed on combat Veterans
with PTSD and that has occupied a great deal of
my energy since then. It's been ten years now. We
just celebrated ten years Camp Hope and the Beauty is
especially for guys if you if you are a hunting
and fishing guy, you got to realize the people who
(22:25):
went and served in Afghanistan and Iraq. You think about
the demographic, A large number of those guys are rednecks
from small towns that love to hunt and fish. And
when you think about you got something that you don't
even think of. You it's deer hunting season. You go
deer hunt, or you go out fishing, or you know,
(22:46):
you do outdoors activities. Man, that's you could take that
guy to the ball game, Sure, that's fine, but you
take him fishing. Oh man, And I will, I will
promise you this.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
I will.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I will make this guarantee to you if you do
that for a combat veterans suffering from PTSD. You get
out there, you'll feel so good about yourself as you're going,
I'm gonna take some veterans out because you want the credit, right,
I'm gonna take some veterans out. I'm gonna do this,
And you'll get out there and the new will wear
off of that penny, the shine will wear off, and
(23:21):
a few hours into it, you will realize you are
going to gain more from this experience than that guy
is because this is going to put it all into perspective.
Because you sleep like a baby through the night, because
you have full use of all your appendages, you will
find because you don't have horrible nightmares and desires to
kill yourself, and you don't have tattoos that remind you
(23:44):
of their buddy who they had to carry to the
helicopter to be hauled away so that he could be
brought home at least as a body to be buried.
Those are things you never forget. You will from that
experience be forever change you got the Michael Berry's show
men and women's brains do work differently. It's amazing everything
(24:08):
we've known for thousands of years has all of a
sudden been upended in about a ten year period. The
Left running around saying the most ridiculous things and nobody
actually believes them except for really stupid, low information people
and people who want to be nice. I've decided that
(24:30):
people who just want to be nice, no matter what
crazy idea somebody comes up with a big part of
the problem. Well, if if he says he's a girl,
who am I to telling me he's not a girl? Uh,
a human with a brain because he's not a girl. Well,
what does it hurt to just call him a girl
if it makes him happy? Poor thing, You're the problem.
(24:53):
You're an enabler. You are an enabler because all they
need is an for you going well, don't pick on
Hi means if he wants to be a girl, porre dying.
That's the problem. The Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences has issued a structling discovery startling, I tell you,
(25:15):
not startling, strutling. The brains of men and women work differently.
Let me repeat that, The Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences has issued a startling discovery. The brains of
men and women work differently. This is groundbreaking stuff, folks.
(25:38):
We've always known that men and women show love differently.
You show love through love.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
We don't do that. We show love through sacrifice. So
a lot of times we'll be loving you and you
don't even know. For example, right we're sitting on the
couch at home, cuddled up, chilling watching movies. You've got
your leg on top of my leg.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I don't want your legs.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Point in time during this movie. Am I gonna baby you?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Don't make this better.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
If I had no feeling from.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
The hip down, that would really prove my movie.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Watching the situation.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
If I had like one leg with blood in it, right,
and then one Lieutenant Dan, that would be perfect. I
want to ask you to take your leg off my leg,
but you can't.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
There's no way you don't ask that, and then it
goes well right, no matter.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
How nice you say it. Oh baby, you.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Know your legs are made of clouds.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Let me get out out there.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Amazing, and not even the cumulatimbus ones, like the thin ones,
like the little you don't even know.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is that a cloud? And what is it?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Right?
Speaker 8 (27:01):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I was just wondering if.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You could take your little cloud high and give me
some sunshine. You can say that, but all she hears
is get your fat dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thigh off of the human beast?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Holy?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Are you a centaur? Is that what you are?
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Because you look like a human but your legs feel.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like a horse. Holy, see Bisson, what the your legs
should be hanging in.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
A Spanish restaurant with a shaved.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Ham off of it?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That's put your legs you're made out of month, said
I know that's what you are, so instead we just
sit there let you crush our legs.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You ever wonder why every old man is a cane?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's so true. We know, and always haven't known, that
men and women show love differently. Scientists have never been
able to definitively prove that our brains work differently, even
though we all know they do. Women will admit this.
(28:10):
Women will admit that this is not my wife, but
I do know friends who have wives, and this is
a common one. That the wife will have a dream
that her husband is cheating on her, and she'll see it.
She'll witness her husband is cheating on her with her sister,
(28:33):
with his workmate, with the neighbor. She will wake up
from the dream angry at him for what was in
the dream, and be angry with him for the whole
day because she had a dream, even though the dream
(28:54):
is not real, And some women will admit to that.
In the research, the team used explainable AI, a type
of computer learning which can sift through vast amounts of
data to explain why an effect is taking place. The
model was shown MRI scans of working brains and told
(29:17):
whether it was looking at a man or a woman.
So here's the data, here's the scans. Science. Over time,
the neural network began to pick out subtle differences between
the sexes that had been missed by humans. When the
researchers tested the model on about fifteen hundred brain scans,
(29:39):
the model was able to tell that the scan came
from a man or a woman more than ninety percent
of the time. Experts are hopeful that finding differences between
male and female brains could be crucial in tackling neurological
or psychiatric conditions that affect men and women differently. For example,
(30:00):
women are twice as likely as men to experience clinical depression,
while men are more at risk of drug and alcohol
dependence and dyslexia. The brain areas discovered in the study
are often associated with neurological disease. There's still some debate
(30:20):
as to why the male and female brains work differently.
Some scientists say it's biological, while others say it is
societal nature versus nurture. You don't have to be a
scientist with a fancy AI machine to know that men
(30:41):
and women think differently. This isn't groundbreaking stuff. Comedians like
Jerry Seinfeld and lots of others have been making a
good living for decades talking about this and do these things.
Why are they acting these ways?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Why are men rude, obnoxious, getting drunk, screaming out, peeling out, rubber,
making kissing noises? Why why telling awful jokes? Why have
men behave so badly? I know what you ladies are thinking. No, no,
not my guy. I'm working with them. He's coming along.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
No he's not. He's tricking you. Men are not developing,
we're not improving.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
We men know, no matter how poorly we behave, it
seems we somehow end up with women.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Anyway. Look around this room. Look at all the men.
You see them, beautiful women, men are with them.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
What do you think these are special men, gifted, highly unusual,
one of a kind man. These are the same jerks
and idiots that I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They're doing fine.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Men as an organization are getting more women than any
other group working anywhere in the world today. Wherever women are,
we have men looking into the situation right now. We
explored the earth looking for women, even went to the
moon just see if there.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Was any woman there. That's why we brought that little car.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Why was you bringing a car unless there's some chance
of going on a day.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
So there you have it. Men and women are different. Okay, Then,
now that we've come to this dramatic conclusion that we've
known for thousands of years, sort of like we're headed
the wrong direction as a society, do you notice that
it's almost as if it's time for us to stand
up for truth so it's not destroyed by the idiots
(32:41):
on the left.
