Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, walking load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was asked if I was going to address Joe
Biden's farewell speed delivering his farewell.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Instead, I'm gonna play this President Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss
how I invented the toilet.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I needed a new heel for my shoe, so.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they
call Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion
to my belt, which was.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
The style at the time.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now to take the ferry cause to Nickel and in
those days, Nichol's head pictures of bumblebees on him.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Give me five piece.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
For recorder, You'd say, now where were we?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah. The important thing was that I had.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
An onion on my belt, which was a style at
the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The only thing you could get was those big yellow one.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Ah, that's an interesting story behind this Nicol in nineteen
fifty seven, I remember it was I got up in
the morning and made myself a piece of toast. I
sent the toaster to three medium brown.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride
around and zeppelins, dropping coins on people. And one day
I seen jt Rockefeller flying by, so I run out
of the house with a big washtub.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
How many people know? I owned the first radio, and
Springfield weren't much on the air.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Then Johastadison reciting the alphabet.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh, MANO yay, he'd say sanby see he would usually follow.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I first took a fancy to missus Bouvier because harassby
voice reminded me of my old pctrolla.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It was a fine.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Machine with a vulcanized rubber listening tube with your cram
in your ear. The tube would go in easier with
some sort of lubricant like linseed oil. And that's why
today bananare called yellow faty beans.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That was the farewell address to the nation from President
Joe Biden. Of all the lies that have been told
to us about people that we were taught to trust,
who held positions that we were taught to trust, one
of one of the most devious was the constant an
(03:00):
assertion that Joe Biden was not only not demented or
in any state of decline, but that He was sharp
as attack. You would hope to have his mental clarity.
He was admired and respected by foreign leaders. We were
(03:22):
told you couldn't keep up with him. Members of his
cabinet told us this, members of his staff told us this.
Elected Democrats told us this, and we knew they were lying.
It's like the Sultsaniensen line. They were lying. We knew
(03:44):
they were lying, they knew we knew they were lying,
and yet they kept lying. It is as if this
show must be made because us admitting the truth would
be too painful. You know, something happened during the Obama
(04:09):
administration when we came to understand how much the government,
our government was spying on us, how bad the Patriot
Act turned out to be. Ron Paul and Rand Paul
were exactly right. There was nothing patriotic about it. It
authorized our government to treat us like foreign criminals on
(04:34):
American soil. It opened a Pandora's box from which we
will never get back. And there are certain Americans who believe, well,
if you're not doing anything wrong, why do you care
if they if they search your internet, if they search
your computer, if they read all your emails, If you're
not doing anything wrong. This is the same group of
people that if a checkpoint was put on their street
(05:00):
and you had to stop and have your whole car
checked through and your whole body check through, they'd say, well,
if you're not doing anything wrong, why do you mind it?
Because free people don't have to prove to authorities that
they are not a criminal. If you have to do that,
you are not a free person. You're an incarcerated person.
(05:25):
It's just that the walls are a little bigger, the
yards a little larger. You get more recess time, but
you are not in charge of your own life. When
that happened, and it happened with Snowden is when it happened,
I learned a lot about some of my fellow Americans,
even many of our listeners who said to me that
(05:49):
They said to me things like Snowden should get the
death penalty. And I'd say, okay, well, all right, let's
set that aside for a moment. Why well, he revealed
all these secrets. Okay, he did do that. Now let's
leave Snowden aside for a moment, and let's talk about
what he revealed. Are you equally troubled about what he revealed?
(06:11):
Because no one denies the truth of what he revealed.
They only get upset that he revealed it. Are you
concerned with what he revealed, which was that your government
is spying on you, not just terrorists, you as if
you're a terrorist. Well you know, and I heard every excuse,
(06:33):
and one of the excuses was, well, at least if
they're spying on me, that means they're also spying on
the terrorists. What you do realize that every time there's
a mass shooter, that guy has already been interviewed by
the FBI. The FBI's got a file on that guy.
They've probably been out to talk to him. They had
(06:54):
a good idea that he was a really, really bad guy,
and they decided, man, let's move on. Because somewhere a
parent in Butler, Pennsylvania or Pensacola, Florida went to the
school board and complained about the fact that the teachers
are trying to get his little boy to chop his
(07:14):
wiener off. So we'll open a file on the parents
that go to the school board, and we'll open a
file on churches that open their doors during COVID and
we'll investigate those people. We'll open a file on people
who on Facebook are saying they don't like Joe Biden. Well,
what I learned from all that is there are good, honest, honorable,
(07:39):
decent people who are what I call the nice neighbor.
They trust their government and nothing will change them from that.
They don't want to have to think about how difficult
life would be if we had to confront the reality
of a government spying on us, So they just choose
(08:01):
not to think about it. When you think about the
lie that was told to you about Joe Biden and
how many people were in on it, and the fact that,
I mean, we can't just move past his administration. I'm
excited about the Trump administration, but we have to investigate
and see what was going on in the White House.
The proceedings the Court of Impeachment is hereby dissolved.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Mister Michael Barry Well.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Not about desert raps. Are all up about what's coming.
I see people having changed in this country as a
result of the election. And it's not all Trump. Trump
is the name we give it, he's the face we
put on it. But and this is a good thing.
(08:48):
It's bigger even than Trump, because it's as the ocean
is a collection of trillions and trillions and trillions of
droplets of water. If enough of them fall away, then
you don't have a notion. What do you have? Ramon,
(09:10):
how's a riddle for you? What Trump has done is
each individual person has changed in their own way as
a result of Trump, and for some people that is Hey,
I can be more bold about stating my opinion. Hey,
(09:37):
if someone criticizes my opinion, I don't have to cower.
I don't have to apologize. I don't have to be fearful.
I can defend my opinion. And not only that, if
someone insults me to criticize my opinion, I can insult
(10:01):
them back. I don't have to be bullied by the
lady in hr or my evil sister in law. I
don't have to be afraid anymore. And I'm gonna tell
you something. There is a certain cathartic emotion, cathartic feeling
(10:24):
that courses through your body to saying what you believe
without any regard or whether it upsets other people. Because
we're taught, this is where we end up with a
nation of nice neighbors. We're taught by the women, and
(10:45):
it used to be almost all women. The women who taught.
Schools taught us that the most important thing is not
to offend. Being nice, not being brave, not being courageous,
not being tough, not being principled, not having conviction, not
(11:06):
carrying your cross, not fighting battles on behalf of the week,
not vanquishing foes that are evil. No, be nice, Be nice.
Everything related to being nice. That was the greatest thing
you could do, not offend. And that's what the Civil
(11:29):
rights That's what came out of the Civil rights movement
was you shouldn't offend people. That's what came out of
the LGBTQ communities activism. Everything related to don't offend people. Well,
my opinions are going to offend. The ability to speak
(11:52):
freely and not worry that you're going to offend, because
you are going to offend. Understand that if you say,
I believe that a man who commits rape should be neutered,
thrown into a cage, and before the wound is healed,
(12:15):
gasoline poured on him while five women scream at him. Now,
never rape again, you hear me, Never rape again. That's
going to offend people. Doesn't mean I don't believe it,
because I do. In fact, one of the people that's
going to offend is the rapist himself and then some
of his friends and family. Yep, some people. If you
(12:39):
talk about enforcing the law against criminals, violent criminals, enforcing
laws that we all agree to drive by shootings, murders, carjackings,
that we want those people severely punished, that offends those
people because they don't want to be severely punished And
a number of other people who made it their mission
(13:02):
to allow those people to run amuck amongst us. And
there are those people, for various reasons who do that.
There are people who love to take up the cause
of the worst among us. They may get their mission,
they feel very virtuous, by the way, until it happens
to them. It's a district attorney in New Orleans who
(13:27):
was a victim of crime, and all of a sudden,
he wanted that guy man he wanted right now, wanted
something done the guy. I think it was the district
attorney in Los Angeles a few years ago. One of them,
I think the one in New Orleans was with his
mother and another guy. But when they're a victim of crime, Oh,
how things change. Bad guy needs to be arrested and
(13:51):
dealt with immediately immediately, Well, I'll go back to my
point kind of overarching theme that we are entering a
good time in America, and you've got to see it
for what it is. Because one of the things I
worry about is how many of you focus all your time,
(14:17):
because we just came out of an election, on how
upset the left is. First of all, never get angry
that the left is angry, or you'll be angry all
the time too. Then you'll be like the people standing
on the sidewalk at a protest and a counter protest.
They're just yelling at each other. You're a loser, na
(14:38):
uh you are. You're a loser because you're for this issue.
Na Uh you are, and they just go you kind
of go oh, and you see, it's the same people.
It's always the same people on both sides, and they're
just yelling at each other, and that gives their lives meeting.
They're adrenaline's pumping, they're engaged, they feel like they're really
doing something, and they're getting after it. Okay, hey, you
(15:02):
do you. That's not my part of the movement, that's yours.
You do you. But you've got to be careful that
you see the good in what's happening, or you burn out.
That's why I preach on this so much. You will
burn out. I've watched it happen. I've watched people go
into public life, elected office and burn out because they
(15:28):
started with the campaign and they went into government and
they got so caught up in at twenty four to
seven they never developed an interest outside of it, and
they never developed a perspective on it. You know who
doesn't burn out? Trump? You know why Trump doesn't burn
out because he keeps a sense of humor when he
(15:50):
makes up names for people who are his enemies. He's
doing that, as Rush would say, tongue firmly planted in cheek.
He's having a blast doing that. You've got to see
the fun in this, not be angry about it. Please.
I was talking earlier about the ceasefire between Israel and
(16:14):
Hamas and the hostage exchange, and I was talking about
the fact that the deal was cut to make it
clear that both sides, Israel and Hamas want great relations
with Trump. That's why they coordinated this thing so that
(16:36):
at his inauguration there will be the air, the triumphant
air of success. Look, this is what America is going
to be things are going to be good. This is aspirational, right. Well,
Don Lemon lost his mind over that, and some other
liberals are losing their mind, and media is losing their mind.
(16:56):
The State Department spokes when Matt Miller we played you that,
he said, look, what was critical in all of this.
Even David Muir and Martha Radnitts, who by the way,
blamed Donald Trump for getting shot on July thirteenth, if
you remember that it was his fault because he's such
a mean man, that's why he got shot. Even they
admit that this ceasefire is nearly identical to what happened
(17:21):
with the Iran hostage crisis and Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Martha, you know, we're all students of history here. We
were just on the air last week with the passing
and the service for former President Jimmy Carter. And it's
not lost on you and me that this agreement comes
really in the final days of the Biden administration. In fact,
it takes effect Sunday, January nineteenth, the eve of the
inauguration of President elect Donald Trump. Really no question here,
(17:46):
even from the Biden administration that both administrations deserve credit
the Qatari's pointing out President elect Donald Trump's envoy in
the Middle East as having helped the Biden team together
as a force there going into this new administration. But
even though they're very different scenarios, there has been extraordinary
human suffering in.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
This war, some of the political parallels.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You can't ignore that this is happening in the final days,
the final hours of the bidendustration exactly.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
David and we were talking about this just last week
during Jimmy Carter's funeral, those Iranian hostages, those American hostages
held by Iran for four hundred and forty four days.
Jimmy Carter put his heart and soul into that and
that probably in some ways cost him reelection. But the
deal was not made until Ronald Reagan, just hours after
(18:35):
Ronald Reagan became president, a punch in that got to
Jimmy Carter byron of course, he was thrilled that those
hostages were released after all the work he had done,
but yes, just days away from the Trump administration taking over,
and Donald Trump did say there would be hell to pay,
as Ian noted hell to pay if those hostages were
(18:58):
not released before before he took office, and they too,
have made huge efforts in the last few days with
the Biden administration to get this over the line. But
President Biden rightly pointed out that this was the agreement
that he put forward last May, but eight months later,
eight months later, and those hostages remained there, and the
(19:20):
destruction of Gaza continued during that time. So this, as
you said, David, it is an extraordinary announcement, but one
with several questions as the Biden administration ends its term.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Just as the failed Jimmy Carter ushered in the triumphant
Ronald Reagan, whose campaign theme people tend to forget this
was make America great Again, so too Joe Biden ushered
(20:00):
in the Trump administration. CNN Scott Jennings making that very
very brilliant point.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I think the way he's leading office has been frankly,
pretty terrible. He's going to be remembered for a few things,
but politically it's mostly for when he was vice president,
he and Obama sort of ushering in the Trump era initially,
and then as he's leading office as president bringing back
Trump and Trump is stronger and more popular than ever today.
(20:32):
Biden has like a sixty one percent disapproval, and Trump
is over a fifty percent approval and more popular in
his ideology is more popular than it's ever been. If
everything you say is true, the Democrats should have had
no trouble getting reelected in this election.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yet it's an issue of a communication failure.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I know, and for Democrats it's always been about communication
and no introspection about the policies that led to him
leading office as one of the most unpopular presidents. When
I watch this tonight, I remain astonished that he, his
family and other people around him thought he could ever
run for another term. I mean, there's no way he
(21:11):
could serve another six months, let him known another four years.
The fact that they pursued that forrest for as long
as they did to me remains one of the most
astonishing things about this term.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
This is not the first time that CNN Scott Jennings
has brilliantly brought up the cover up of Joe Biden's decline.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I just have to ask when the accountability is going
to come for every single person who sat in front
of a television, who held some position of responsibility and
lied their rear end off about what they were seeing
behind closed doors. People came on television and said, Oh,
I'm with him all day, and he's really engaged and
he's doing the job. He's running circles around us, and
(21:57):
these videos are cheap fakes and on and on and
on brazen line by people who work.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
For our government, and they lied to us about it.
How do you ever.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Regain trust if there's no accountability for the people who
lied us into the deficit in the first place.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
How can you regain trust the American people if you're
putting the exact same people back who lied to them.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
If you go to work for the government and you
stand up at the podium like Kareem has done and
knowingly and fully lie to the American people because you
know full well what you see behind the scenes and
what you're saying in front of the podium, I mean,
maybe the accountability is.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
They never get hired like the large what was the
largest inauguration crowd in the in the.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's a lie, but it's a lie.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
It's a lot of systemic problem, right because I agree
with your comments around somebody hiding the fact that Joe
Biden was unable to do his job and casting all
these these these fake narratives. But I'll also say those
same stories came out of the out of the Trump's
White House.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Also, like when I'm in Reagan and when there was.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
No Wall Street Journal exposed there was a twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Do you remember that. Yeah, I heard him say that,
Thank you for saying that, But I haven't heard it.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
I mean, I don't want to. I think this is
a Joe Biden conversation. But I mean, I think the
point Jeff is making. We you know, we know for
a fact, Donald Trump spend a lot of time in
that uh, that space between the Oval office watching television
when January sixth was the caring.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, but but no one is saying they have to
shut down the White House because he's not with it. Today,
this man is awake twenty three hours a day, he's
clearly engaged, and the American people just elected him over
somebody who was much younger. I will point out to
you My question is this.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We elect people for a reason.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
The elected leadership of the government is supposed to be
making decisions. For four years, the unelected have been in
charge of our country during critical moments.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We don't live in.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
A country where the unelected are supposed to rule us.
We live where the elected are supposed to rule.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I don't rule would be the word I would choose.
There necessarily govern. But his point is very well taken.
Our government is now run by people who were not elected,
and in fact, in most cases, we don't even know
their names. We don't know their background, We don't It
(24:13):
was like the old dating game and things where they'd
had the person behind the wall and you didn't know.
You just take a guess who it might be behind door.
Number two is the person running the country, but we
have no idea who are They's Michael Barry cover up
(24:37):
of Joe Biden's decline, because if Joe Biden can't make
the decisions that a president would, somebody else is, and
you you must have an answer as to who that
person is. That person is making decisions on your behalf.
(24:59):
Government governs with the consent of the governed. You give
that consent through an election. Well, I don't believe Joe
Biden won two hundred and seventy electoral votes by winning
enough states to get there. I think they cheated. But
(25:21):
let's assume for a second that the election was valid.
It wasn't. Let's assume for a moment that it was
you voted for Joe Biden, and should he need to
step down, be incapacitated, die, whatever else, it was under
(25:42):
the premise that his vice president would step up. That's
the deal, right, we have a line of succession. Well,
Joe Biden hasn't been leading the government, and Kamala Harris
(26:02):
hasn't stepped in in his stead. Other people have been leading.
And that is as problematic as anything that has happened
in the last four years, including the lies you were
told about the clock shot. Remember the cheap fakes. Remember
(26:25):
when there would be video of him falling down, stumbling.
I mean, clearly the guys out of it. This was
CBS News in June, back in June, just a few
months ago. Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
You've probably heard of deep fakes. But just last week,
as President Biden was at the G seven summit in Italy,
cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were
picked up by some news outlets.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Take a look at this clip.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
For example, It shows Biden and other world leaders watching
a skydiving demonstrate before the President is seen walking away
and looking in another direction. Outlets claimed that he was
sort of just aimlessly wandering away. The clip amassed millions
of views within just a few hours when actually, if
(27:18):
you widen out, you can see that he was talking
to one of the members of the military that was
participating in that demonstration. So how prevalent are cheap fakes
and how big of a probabil they be in this election? Well,
let's take a look with executive editor of CBS News
(27:40):
Confirmed Rona Tarrant, who joins us now from Studio fifty
seven to explain.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Hi, Ron, that's great to see you, hi.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
So tell us how long cheap fakes have been around.
I'm assuming they've been around since the beginning of the media,
because you know, anybody can take an image and manipulate
it to make it look like it's just something that
didn't happen.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
That's exactly it. It really is a case of all techniques
meets new technology. So, as you said, cheap fake videos,
and that's videos that are edited in a really simple way.
Those have been around as long as political videos have existed.
So there's a few ways, for example that people might
be familiar with. One is there might be a long
video and you might take a very short clip and
(28:26):
you take out key context. Another is maybe you slow
something down and it makes it sound like someone is
slurring their words. Or another is you might supply several
pieces together and it makes it sound like someone said
something that they didn't. What's different in this election and
the last two elections in the presidential elections is number one,
(28:46):
everyone has access to mobile phones where they can edit.
And number two, most people have social media accounts where
they can publish this stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Former Vice President and complete loser mke Pince tweeted Mike
Pence org American Freedom urges Senators to oppose RFK junior confirmation.
I honestly, Ramon did not know that Mike Pence was
still around after Tucker Carlson absolutely ended his career.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
You are you are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have
enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has
become much worse over the past three years. Drive around.
There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States,
and it's visible. Our economy has degraded, the suicide rate
(29:37):
has jumped, public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.
And yet your concern is that the Ukrainians a country
most people can't find out a map, who've received tens
of billions of US tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.
I think it's a fair question to ask Lake, where's
the concern for the United States in.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
That It's not my concern, Tucker, I've heard that routine
from you before, but that's not my concern. I'm running
for president of the United States because I think this.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Country's in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
I think Joe Biden is weakened America at home and abroad.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And as President of the United States, We're.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
Going to store law and order in our cities. We're
going to secure our border, we're going to get this
economy move it again, and we're going to make sure
that we have men and women on our course at
every level that will stand for the right to life
and defend all the God given liberties enshrined in our constitution.
Anybody that says that we can't be the leader of
(30:37):
the free world and solve our problems at home has
a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We can do both, you know, Mike Pince, I'm pro life.
I'm very pro life. It's an important issue to me.
But the problem with Mike Pince is the only thing
Mike pince only opinion he ever has is abortion is bad,
(31:07):
pro life unborn children. Okay, but you're voting to increase taxes.
Abortion is bad. No, but that doesn't mean that you
It's his one and only issue, and he screws everything
else up. He's like that undecided voter's bit on family.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Guy Mayo West, if re elected, would you increase the
frequency of garbage pickup?
Speaker 12 (31:32):
Well, citizen, that's an excellent question, and I thank you
for it all sake.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
We live in a town where you can ask questions
because without questions, we just have answers.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
And an answer without a question is a statement. Oh.
I like him. He looks me in the eye. I'd
like to have a beer with him. I voted for him.
You don't understand these people. He didn't even say anything.
They're eating it up.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
What was undecided voters are the biggest idiots on the planet.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Try giving short, simple answers, sir, are your question? Please?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Missus Griffin, what do you plan to do about crime
in our city?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
A lot?
Speaker 11 (32:18):
Because that's what Jesus wants.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Nine eleven was bad. I agree with that, I can't
believe how easy this is.
Speaker 12 (32:31):
Missus Griffin, What are your plans for cleaning up our environment?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nine eleven.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Missus Griffin, what about our traffic problem?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Nine eleven,
It's that time time time, time, walking load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was asked if I was going to address Joe
Biden's farewell speed delivering his farewell.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Instead, I'm gonna play this President Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss
how I invented the toilet.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I needed a new heel for my shoe, so.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they
call Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion
to my belt, which was.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
The style at the time.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now to take the ferry cause to Nickel and in
those days, Nichol's head pictures of bumblebees on him.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Give me five piece.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
For recorder, You'd say, now where were we?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah. The important thing was that I had.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
An onion on my belt, which was a style at
the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The only thing you could get was those big yellow one.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Ah, that's an interesting story behind this Nicol in nineteen
fifty seven, I remember it was I got up in
the morning and made myself a piece of toast. I
sent the toaster to three medium brown.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride
around and zeppelins, dropping coins on people. And one day
I seen jt Rockefeller flying by, so I run out
of the house with a big washtub.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
How many people know? I owned the first radio, and
Springfield weren't much on the air.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Then Johastadison reciting the alphabet.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh, MANO yay, he'd say sanby see he would usually follow.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I first took a fancy to missus Bouvier because harassby
voice reminded me of my old pctrolla.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It was a fine.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Machine with a vulcanized rubber listening tube with your cram
in your ear. The tube would go in easier with
some sort of lubricant like linseed oil. And that's why
today bananare called yellow faty beans.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That was the farewell address to the nation from President
Joe Biden. Of all the lies that have been told
to us about people that we were taught to trust,
who held positions that we were taught to trust, one
of one of the most devious was the constant an
(03:00):
assertion that Joe Biden was not only not demented or
in any state of decline, but that He was sharp
as attack. You would hope to have his mental clarity.
He was admired and respected by foreign leaders. We were
(03:22):
told you couldn't keep up with him. Members of his
cabinet told us this, members of his staff told us this.
Elected Democrats told us this, and we knew they were lying.
It's like the Sultsaniensen line. They were lying. We knew
(03:44):
they were lying, they knew we knew they were lying,
and yet they kept lying. It is as if this
show must be made because us admitting the truth would
be too painful. You know, something happened during the Obama
(04:09):
administration when we came to understand how much the government,
our government was spying on us, how bad the Patriot
Act turned out to be. Ron Paul and Rand Paul
were exactly right. There was nothing patriotic about it. It
authorized our government to treat us like foreign criminals on
(04:34):
American soil. It opened a Pandora's box from which we
will never get back. And there are certain Americans who believe, well,
if you're not doing anything wrong, why do you care
if they if they search your internet, if they search
your computer, if they read all your emails, If you're
not doing anything wrong. This is the same group of
people that if a checkpoint was put on their street
(05:00):
and you had to stop and have your whole car
checked through and your whole body check through, they'd say, well,
if you're not doing anything wrong, why do you mind it?
Because free people don't have to prove to authorities that
they are not a criminal. If you have to do that,
you are not a free person. You're an incarcerated person.
(05:25):
It's just that the walls are a little bigger, the
yards a little larger. You get more recess time, but
you are not in charge of your own life. When
that happened, and it happened with Snowden is when it happened,
I learned a lot about some of my fellow Americans,
even many of our listeners who said to me that
(05:49):
They said to me things like Snowden should get the
death penalty. And I'd say, okay, well, all right, let's
set that aside for a moment. Why well, he revealed
all these secrets. Okay, he did do that. Now let's
leave Snowden aside for a moment, and let's talk about
what he revealed. Are you equally troubled about what he revealed?
(06:11):
Because no one denies the truth of what he revealed.
They only get upset that he revealed it. Are you
concerned with what he revealed, which was that your government
is spying on you, not just terrorists, you as if
you're a terrorist. Well you know, and I heard every excuse,
(06:33):
and one of the excuses was, well, at least if
they're spying on me, that means they're also spying on
the terrorists. What you do realize that every time there's
a mass shooter, that guy has already been interviewed by
the FBI. The FBI's got a file on that guy.
They've probably been out to talk to him. They had
(06:54):
a good idea that he was a really, really bad guy,
and they decided, man, let's move on. Because somewhere a
parent in Butler, Pennsylvania or Pensacola, Florida went to the
school board and complained about the fact that the teachers
are trying to get his little boy to chop his
(07:14):
wiener off. So we'll open a file on the parents
that go to the school board, and we'll open a
file on churches that open their doors during COVID and
we'll investigate those people. We'll open a file on people
who on Facebook are saying they don't like Joe Biden. Well,
what I learned from all that is there are good, honest, honorable,
(07:39):
decent people who are what I call the nice neighbor.
They trust their government and nothing will change them from that.
They don't want to have to think about how difficult
life would be if we had to confront the reality
of a government spying on us, So they just choose
(08:01):
not to think about it. When you think about the
lie that was told to you about Joe Biden and
how many people were in on it, and the fact that,
I mean, we can't just move past his administration. I'm
excited about the Trump administration, but we have to investigate
and see what was going on in the White House.
The proceedings the Court of Impeachment is hereby dissolved.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Mister Michael Barry Well.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Not about desert raps. Are all up about what's coming.
I see people having changed in this country as a
result of the election. And it's not all Trump. Trump
is the name we give it, he's the face we
put on it. But and this is a good thing.
(08:48):
It's bigger even than Trump, because it's as the ocean
is a collection of trillions and trillions and trillions of
droplets of water. If enough of them fall away, then
you don't have a notion. What do you have? Ramon,
(09:10):
how's a riddle for you? What Trump has done is
each individual person has changed in their own way as
a result of Trump, and for some people that is Hey,
I can be more bold about stating my opinion. Hey,
(09:37):
if someone criticizes my opinion, I don't have to cower.
I don't have to apologize. I don't have to be fearful.
I can defend my opinion. And not only that, if
someone insults me to criticize my opinion, I can insult
(10:01):
them back. I don't have to be bullied by the
lady in hr or my evil sister in law. I
don't have to be afraid anymore. And I'm gonna tell
you something. There is a certain cathartic emotion, cathartic feeling
(10:24):
that courses through your body to saying what you believe
without any regard or whether it upsets other people. Because
we're taught, this is where we end up with a
nation of nice neighbors. We're taught by the women, and
(10:45):
it used to be almost all women. The women who taught.
Schools taught us that the most important thing is not
to offend. Being nice, not being brave, not being courageous,
not being tough, not being principled, not having conviction, not
(11:06):
carrying your cross, not fighting battles on behalf of the week,
not vanquishing foes that are evil. No, be nice, Be nice.
Everything related to being nice. That was the greatest thing
you could do, not offend. And that's what the Civil
(11:29):
rights That's what came out of the Civil rights movement
was you shouldn't offend people. That's what came out of
the LGBTQ communities activism. Everything related to don't offend people. Well,
my opinions are going to offend. The ability to speak
(11:52):
freely and not worry that you're going to offend, because
you are going to offend. Understand that if you say,
I believe that a man who commits rape should be neutered,
thrown into a cage, and before the wound is healed,
(12:15):
gasoline poured on him while five women scream at him. Now,
never rape again, you hear me, Never rape again. That's
going to offend people. Doesn't mean I don't believe it,
because I do. In fact, one of the people that's
going to offend is the rapist himself and then some
of his friends and family. Yep, some people. If you
(12:39):
talk about enforcing the law against criminals, violent criminals, enforcing
laws that we all agree to drive by shootings, murders, carjackings,
that we want those people severely punished, that offends those
people because they don't want to be severely punished And
a number of other people who made it their mission
(13:02):
to allow those people to run amuck amongst us. And
there are those people, for various reasons who do that.
There are people who love to take up the cause
of the worst among us. They may get their mission,
they feel very virtuous, by the way, until it happens
to them. It's a district attorney in New Orleans who
(13:27):
was a victim of crime, and all of a sudden,
he wanted that guy man he wanted right now, wanted
something done the guy. I think it was the district
attorney in Los Angeles a few years ago. One of them,
I think the one in New Orleans was with his
mother and another guy. But when they're a victim of crime, Oh,
how things change. Bad guy needs to be arrested and
(13:51):
dealt with immediately immediately, Well, I'll go back to my
point kind of overarching theme that we are entering a
good time in America, and you've got to see it
for what it is. Because one of the things I
worry about is how many of you focus all your time,
(14:17):
because we just came out of an election, on how
upset the left is. First of all, never get angry
that the left is angry, or you'll be angry all
the time too. Then you'll be like the people standing
on the sidewalk at a protest and a counter protest.
They're just yelling at each other. You're a loser, na
(14:38):
uh you are. You're a loser because you're for this issue.
Na Uh you are, and they just go you kind
of go oh, and you see, it's the same people.
It's always the same people on both sides, and they're
just yelling at each other, and that gives their lives meeting.
They're adrenaline's pumping, they're engaged, they feel like they're really
doing something, and they're getting after it. Okay, hey, you
(15:02):
do you. That's not my part of the movement, that's yours.
You do you. But you've got to be careful that
you see the good in what's happening, or you burn out.
That's why I preach on this so much. You will
burn out. I've watched it happen. I've watched people go
into public life, elected office and burn out because they
(15:28):
started with the campaign and they went into government and
they got so caught up in at twenty four to
seven they never developed an interest outside of it, and
they never developed a perspective on it. You know who
doesn't burn out? Trump? You know why Trump doesn't burn
out because he keeps a sense of humor when he
(15:50):
makes up names for people who are his enemies. He's
doing that, as Rush would say, tongue firmly planted in cheek.
He's having a blast doing that. You've got to see
the fun in this, not be angry about it. Please.
I was talking earlier about the ceasefire between Israel and
(16:14):
Hamas and the hostage exchange, and I was talking about
the fact that the deal was cut to make it
clear that both sides, Israel and Hamas want great relations
with Trump. That's why they coordinated this thing so that
(16:36):
at his inauguration there will be the air, the triumphant
air of success. Look, this is what America is going
to be things are going to be good. This is aspirational, right. Well,
Don Lemon lost his mind over that, and some other
liberals are losing their mind, and media is losing their mind.
(16:56):
The State Department spokes when Matt Miller we played you that,
he said, look, what was critical in all of this.
Even David Muir and Martha Radnitts, who by the way,
blamed Donald Trump for getting shot on July thirteenth, if
you remember that it was his fault because he's such
a mean man, that's why he got shot. Even they
admit that this ceasefire is nearly identical to what happened
(17:21):
with the Iran hostage crisis and Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Martha, you know, we're all students of history here. We
were just on the air last week with the passing
and the service for former President Jimmy Carter. And it's
not lost on you and me that this agreement comes
really in the final days of the Biden administration. In fact,
it takes effect Sunday, January nineteenth, the eve of the
inauguration of President elect Donald Trump. Really no question here,
(17:46):
even from the Biden administration that both administrations deserve credit
the Qatari's pointing out President elect Donald Trump's envoy in
the Middle East as having helped the Biden team together
as a force there going into this new administration. But
even though they're very different scenarios, there has been extraordinary
human suffering in.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
This war, some of the political parallels.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You can't ignore that this is happening in the final days,
the final hours of the bidendustration exactly.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
David and we were talking about this just last week
during Jimmy Carter's funeral, those Iranian hostages, those American hostages
held by Iran for four hundred and forty four days.
Jimmy Carter put his heart and soul into that and
that probably in some ways cost him reelection. But the
deal was not made until Ronald Reagan, just hours after
(18:35):
Ronald Reagan became president, a punch in that got to
Jimmy Carter byron of course, he was thrilled that those
hostages were released after all the work he had done,
but yes, just days away from the Trump administration taking over,
and Donald Trump did say there would be hell to pay,
as Ian noted hell to pay if those hostages were
(18:58):
not released before before he took office, and they too,
have made huge efforts in the last few days with
the Biden administration to get this over the line. But
President Biden rightly pointed out that this was the agreement
that he put forward last May, but eight months later,
eight months later, and those hostages remained there, and the
(19:20):
destruction of Gaza continued during that time. So this, as
you said, David, it is an extraordinary announcement, but one
with several questions as the Biden administration ends its term.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Just as the failed Jimmy Carter ushered in the triumphant
Ronald Reagan, whose campaign theme people tend to forget this
was make America great Again, so too Joe Biden ushered
(20:00):
in the Trump administration. CNN Scott Jennings making that very
very brilliant point.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I think the way he's leading office has been frankly,
pretty terrible. He's going to be remembered for a few things,
but politically it's mostly for when he was vice president,
he and Obama sort of ushering in the Trump era initially,
and then as he's leading office as president bringing back
Trump and Trump is stronger and more popular than ever today.
(20:32):
Biden has like a sixty one percent disapproval, and Trump
is over a fifty percent approval and more popular in
his ideology is more popular than it's ever been. If
everything you say is true, the Democrats should have had
no trouble getting reelected in this election.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yet it's an issue of a communication failure.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I know, and for Democrats it's always been about communication
and no introspection about the policies that led to him
leading office as one of the most unpopular presidents. When
I watch this tonight, I remain astonished that he, his
family and other people around him thought he could ever
run for another term. I mean, there's no way he
(21:11):
could serve another six months, let him known another four years.
The fact that they pursued that forrest for as long
as they did to me remains one of the most
astonishing things about this term.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
This is not the first time that CNN Scott Jennings
has brilliantly brought up the cover up of Joe Biden's decline.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I just have to ask when the accountability is going
to come for every single person who sat in front
of a television, who held some position of responsibility and
lied their rear end off about what they were seeing
behind closed doors. People came on television and said, Oh,
I'm with him all day, and he's really engaged and
he's doing the job. He's running circles around us, and
(21:57):
these videos are cheap fakes and on and on and
on brazen line by people who work.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
For our government, and they lied to us about it.
How do you ever.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Regain trust if there's no accountability for the people who
lied us into the deficit in the first place.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
How can you regain trust the American people if you're
putting the exact same people back who lied to them.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
If you go to work for the government and you
stand up at the podium like Kareem has done and
knowingly and fully lie to the American people because you
know full well what you see behind the scenes and
what you're saying in front of the podium, I mean,
maybe the accountability is.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
They never get hired like the large what was the
largest inauguration crowd in the in the.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's a lie, but it's a lie.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
It's a lot of systemic problem, right because I agree
with your comments around somebody hiding the fact that Joe
Biden was unable to do his job and casting all
these these these fake narratives. But I'll also say those
same stories came out of the out of the Trump's
White House.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Also, like when I'm in Reagan and when there was.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
No Wall Street Journal exposed there was a twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Do you remember that. Yeah, I heard him say that,
Thank you for saying that, But I haven't heard it.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
I mean, I don't want to. I think this is
a Joe Biden conversation. But I mean, I think the
point Jeff is making. We you know, we know for
a fact, Donald Trump spend a lot of time in
that uh, that space between the Oval office watching television
when January sixth was the caring.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, but but no one is saying they have to
shut down the White House because he's not with it. Today,
this man is awake twenty three hours a day, he's
clearly engaged, and the American people just elected him over
somebody who was much younger. I will point out to
you My question is this.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We elect people for a reason.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
The elected leadership of the government is supposed to be
making decisions. For four years, the unelected have been in
charge of our country during critical moments.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We don't live in.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
A country where the unelected are supposed to rule us.
We live where the elected are supposed to rule.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I don't rule would be the word I would choose.
There necessarily govern. But his point is very well taken.
Our government is now run by people who were not elected,
and in fact, in most cases, we don't even know
their names. We don't know their background, We don't It
(24:13):
was like the old dating game and things where they'd
had the person behind the wall and you didn't know.
You just take a guess who it might be behind door.
Number two is the person running the country, but we
have no idea who are They's Michael Barry cover up
(24:37):
of Joe Biden's decline, because if Joe Biden can't make
the decisions that a president would, somebody else is, and
you you must have an answer as to who that
person is. That person is making decisions on your behalf.
(24:59):
Government governs with the consent of the governed. You give
that consent through an election. Well, I don't believe Joe
Biden won two hundred and seventy electoral votes by winning
enough states to get there. I think they cheated. But
(25:21):
let's assume for a second that the election was valid.
It wasn't. Let's assume for a moment that it was
you voted for Joe Biden, and should he need to
step down, be incapacitated, die, whatever else, it was under
(25:42):
the premise that his vice president would step up. That's
the deal, right, we have a line of succession. Well,
Joe Biden hasn't been leading the government, and Kamala Harris
(26:02):
hasn't stepped in in his stead. Other people have been leading.
And that is as problematic as anything that has happened
in the last four years, including the lies you were
told about the clock shot. Remember the cheap fakes. Remember
(26:25):
when there would be video of him falling down, stumbling.
I mean, clearly the guys out of it. This was
CBS News in June, back in June, just a few
months ago. Listen to this.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
You've probably heard of deep fakes. But just last week,
as President Biden was at the G seven summit in Italy,
cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were
picked up by some news outlets.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Take a look at this clip.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
For example, It shows Biden and other world leaders watching
a skydiving demonstrate before the President is seen walking away
and looking in another direction. Outlets claimed that he was
sort of just aimlessly wandering away. The clip amassed millions
of views within just a few hours when actually, if
(27:18):
you widen out, you can see that he was talking
to one of the members of the military that was
participating in that demonstration. So how prevalent are cheap fakes
and how big of a probabil they be in this election? Well,
let's take a look with executive editor of CBS News
(27:40):
Confirmed Rona Tarrant, who joins us now from Studio fifty
seven to explain.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Hi, Ron, that's great to see you, hi.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
So tell us how long cheap fakes have been around.
I'm assuming they've been around since the beginning of the media,
because you know, anybody can take an image and manipulate
it to make it look like it's just something that
didn't happen.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
That's exactly it. It really is a case of all techniques
meets new technology. So, as you said, cheap fake videos,
and that's videos that are edited in a really simple way.
Those have been around as long as political videos have existed.
So there's a few ways, for example that people might
be familiar with. One is there might be a long
video and you might take a very short clip and
(28:26):
you take out key context. Another is maybe you slow
something down and it makes it sound like someone is
slurring their words. Or another is you might supply several
pieces together and it makes it sound like someone said
something that they didn't. What's different in this election and
the last two elections in the presidential elections is number one,
(28:46):
everyone has access to mobile phones where they can edit.
And number two, most people have social media accounts where
they can publish this stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Former Vice President and complete loser mke Pince tweeted Mike
Pence org American Freedom urges Senators to oppose RFK junior confirmation.
I honestly, Ramon did not know that Mike Pence was
still around after Tucker Carlson absolutely ended his career.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
You are you are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have
enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has
become much worse over the past three years. Drive around.
There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States,
and it's visible. Our economy has degraded, the suicide rate
(29:37):
has jumped, public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.
And yet your concern is that the Ukrainians a country
most people can't find out a map, who've received tens
of billions of US tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.
I think it's a fair question to ask Lake, where's
the concern for the United States in.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
That It's not my concern, Tucker, I've heard that routine
from you before, but that's not my concern. I'm running
for president of the United States because I think this.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Country's in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
I think Joe Biden is weakened America at home and abroad.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And as President of the United States, We're.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
Going to store law and order in our cities. We're
going to secure our border, we're going to get this
economy move it again, and we're going to make sure
that we have men and women on our course at
every level that will stand for the right to life
and defend all the God given liberties enshrined in our constitution.
Anybody that says that we can't be the leader of
(30:37):
the free world and solve our problems at home has
a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We can do both, you know, Mike Pince, I'm pro life.
I'm very pro life. It's an important issue to me.
But the problem with Mike Pince is the only thing
Mike pince only opinion he ever has is abortion is bad,
(31:07):
pro life unborn children. Okay, but you're voting to increase taxes.
Abortion is bad. No, but that doesn't mean that you
It's his one and only issue, and he screws everything
else up. He's like that undecided voter's bit on family.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Guy Mayo West, if re elected, would you increase the
frequency of garbage pickup?
Speaker 12 (31:32):
