Speaker 1 (02:31):
I received an email this morning. I thought I would
share with you to start the show because it probably
speaks to how many of you feel, maybe all of you.
I'd like to think. It was from a fellow named
David Liebenstein. I don't know him. He sent an email
as a listener through the website, which is Michael Berryshow
(02:52):
dot com and the subject of the email is Inauguration Day.
And the body of the email said simply, in one sentence,
have you ever experienced another Friday like this one where
millions of working men and women across the country are
(03:16):
looking forward to Monday? That's how you write an email
to a person that gets over a thousand emails a day.
You get it right to the point. Think about this
for a moment. Have you ever experienced another Friday like this?
One like today, where millions of working men and women
(03:39):
across the country are looking forward to Monday? And He's right,
it feels like Christmas Eve. Mama, can we please open
some packages? Mama? Can we please please please? We can't
wait to get up. We can't wait that long? Can
we just open the packages tonight. Some of you probably
(04:02):
open your packages New Year's Eve, or you do what
we do where you string them out. You might start
four or five days before. I have two boys, one
seventeen about to be eighteen, the other who just turned nineteen,
Michael t and Crockett. And they are big boys, and
(04:24):
they are tough boys. And they're stronger than me, faster
than me, better looking than me. They have all the
hubris of a young testosterone young man. Right, and yet
when it comes to Christmas, about two weeks out, they
start slipping around behind the tree and putting things to
(04:48):
their ear to see what it is. And my wife
plays all these games. She'll flip, she'll put Crockett in
real little letters, She'll put Crockett. This year, she put
Crockett on Michael's gifts and Michael on Crockett's gifts because
they're they don't care what the other one's getting, so
at least that part would be safe. And then as
we get closer living and we can we open can
we open our gifts? Before?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We should have to wait till Christmas Day? And we
always give you And that's the fun of it, right,
that level of excitement that you never have again in
your life. Oh, you have it a few times, right
your honeymoon, the first time you're with the woman you love,
or ladies, the man you're you love. That level of
excitement and anticipation is how I feel right now. I
(05:32):
can't wait till Monday. And all I've heard from is
from listeners who can't wait till Monday. Not because we
are happy for Donald Trump that he gets to do
what he wants to do, because we are happy for America.
That the things he's going to do are good for America.
The things he's going to do are good for future generations.
(05:55):
They're actually they're good for the world. The world is
going to be a safer, better place because Donald Trump
is president, because of the people he's putting in cabinet positions,
because the politicians have been told, in no uncertain terms,
(06:15):
this is what the American people want. The politicians are
going to behave better, not perfectly, but better because they
are now aware that the vast majority of Americans are
willing to throw them out of office. And I don't
(06:35):
really care whether the Democrats get that message or not,
but it's important to Republicans understand, and the Republicans are
being made to understand. It's being drilled into their hard heads.
Your voters, the Republican voters who are the deciders whether
you come back or not. They're not tolerating any games
(06:58):
any longer. You're going to vote the way the base wants.
You're going to actually live up to the promises you made.
You go back every two years, you congressman, and you
go back every six years, you senators, you John Cornyn's,
and you go back, and you all of a sudden
become lock out. The illegals, deport the illegals, close the border.
(07:19):
And then you come back up here and you play games.
You go home and say, oh, the Green New Deal,
the global warming is bull. And then you come back,
You play games. You go home, and you promise things
that you don't deliver on because you never intended to
in the first place. And you think that we're stupid,
and you think the power of incumbency, and you think,
(07:41):
you think that you can keep getting away with this forever,
and you cannot, and you will not. It will not
be allowed to stand. And all of that was ushered
in with the Trump victory and Trump couldn't do it alone.
You had to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The beauty is, you know when you go if you
like stand up comedy, like I do, one of the
things when you're sitting there and somebody tells a joke
and it's like about a very private thing and you're laughing.
You see everybody else's like you go, oh, other people
feel that way too. This is the reminder everybody that
matters feels the way we do about the future of
(08:21):
this country. And that's awesome. Michael Barry Show. If he
doesn't say it, then who will. We fellas are always
getting in trouble with our wives. It's the mirrors or
replicates the relationship we had with our mothers. They keep
letting us off the hood because they succumb to our charms.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Women are built to keep us in line and keep
us from destroying ourselves, and soften our edges and forgive
us our failings. That's the truth. We drink too much,
(09:07):
we eat too much, we sleep too much, we take
too many risks, we drive too fast, we get up
on the ladder when we shouldn't, and they're there to,
you know, kiss our booboo after it happens. And that's
just the way it is. But almost every man out
(09:32):
there knows what I'm talking about of when your wife
is disapproving of something you've said or done and you're going, oh,
come on, it was funny, Oh come on, come on,
and you're trying to get it to be okay, and
at that moment, you're going back to the same relationship
you had with your mother, except your mother was probably
(09:52):
less reasonable with you than you hope your wife would be,
because at least she's closer in age to you. Does
that make sense to you, Ramon, I'm so fired up.
I'm so fired up for this because I haven't been
this fired up in a long time. I wasn't this
fired up in eighty because I was only ten years
old or in eighty one when Reagan took office. But
I'm a student of history, including and especially modern history,
(10:18):
and I look at what happened when Reagan was elected.
You know, you look at the numbers, the inflation numbers,
and the interest rate. They shot the interest rate up
for home mortgages to there were people paying sixteen seventeen percent.
I mean, that's my good, that's that's brack. That is
(10:41):
back breaking, that is back breaking interest rate. You had
an inflation that I think it got up to thirteen.
I should be looking at these numbers instead of spitting
them out, but I was just reading this the other day.
I mean, those were the kind of numbers you talk
about stagflation. You have everything costing more but no new
economic activity. That creates not only harsh living conditions, it
(11:07):
exacerbates mental health problems. It causes depression, it causes divorces,
It affects everybody. It can create physical elements stemming from
the mental problems. And then Reagan comes in and our
vibrant private sector absolutely exploded, just went crazy. And you know,
(11:32):
Democrats talk about the eighties as if it was an
awful thing because people made a lot of money, because
people showed off that they made a lot of money,
And that's terrible for the left. You shouldn't make a
lot of money. We don't want to have those times
again where people are making money and happy and buying
boats and second homes and taking vacations and buying convertibles
(11:57):
and buying clothes. We don't want that because not everybody
got rich. Yeah, it's true. Some people committed murder and
went to prison. Some people chose jobs that don't pay well,
knowing that they don't pay well. Some people can't show
up to work. Some people got fired, some people got
laid off. Some businesses closed while others opened. So it's
(12:21):
true not everybody got rich. When a lot of people,
when I say got rich, did better than they had
done under Carter, the left will point out, yeah, but
one percent of people didn't do better. Well, you can't
win with these people. It's impossible to win. But that's
what we want. We want that exuberance to return right now.
(12:45):
It's hope, it is optimism, it is excitement, and I
think that's a good I think we needed that. I
really believe we desperately, desperately needed that. Okay, you're right, Ramon,
it is time and I always look forward to this.
It is time courtesy of the greatest executive producer in
(13:08):
all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi. You're a week in review, Nickdonald.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
McDonald.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
In the seventies and into the eighties, McDonald's was cool,
and I can remember going in and it was like
a miniature version of Astroworld. I'm not joking. It was
exciting and they had a playground, they knew the kids
would end up in prison. So you had a hamburger
that was held together by prison bars, and you'd sit
in there. Your mother would look at you and just
hope you didn't come out so she could have a
moment of piece. Rats.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Yes, rats dining on drugs in one of the Houston
Police departments evidence rooms.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
We're talking everything from marijuana to psychedelic mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We got four hundred thousand pounds of marijuana in storage
that the rats are the only ones that join it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is difficult getting these rudents out of there.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Let me think about it. They're drug addicted rats. They're
tough to deal with.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The rats are laying around, eat up with the note.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
The governor wants the flags that are being flown at
half staff right now in honor of Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Raised back to full staff for the swearing in.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
A President's electronk next week.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Following the national call to honor the life of a
former president.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
By flying those flags at half staff, it is a
thirty day salute to Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Do we do that for veterans? Do we do that
for service members who go into battle risking it all?
And die. Do we do that for good Samaritans who die?
Speaker 11 (14:37):
To President Biden's farewell address to the nation typical mumbling,
bumbling and stumbling as usual among.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Our creative director asked me how much of Biden's farewell
addressed do you want me to cut up and load
for us to play? And I said, not one word.
Don't waste a moment of energy. There wasn't a person
in this country glued to the set. Wait see what
old Joe Biden had to say on his way out.
(15:12):
I was down and how was never heard?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Thinking?
Speaker 12 (15:21):
God?
Speaker 13 (15:22):
Mom. He came along and he said, there's another colla
fucause when.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm thinking, to your eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Shot, when I look int your eyes, bring on? What
would you do with the brain of you had one?
Bring it on? Because there is nothing here. Michael Veri,
Shoe Pam Bondy Pete Heg said, these guys all have
(16:08):
a steely resolve, and they're smart and they're ready for
what's coming. But they have also been prepped so that
they are performing very well. They are making me extremely proud.
I have to tell you, when you have.
Speaker 14 (16:23):
A small number of multi billionaires who have enormous economic,
media and political power, would you agree with President Biden
who last night stated, and I quote and oligaki is
taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence
(16:45):
that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedom's
end of quote.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
That's what President Biden said last night. I agree with him,
do you, Senator Senders, I enjoyed or visit. You can
talk a little bit closer into I enjoyed her visit.
Speaker 15 (17:01):
And I hope you've got my follow up materials that
on the discussion, my precious writings on the Terras and
China and the three billionaires who you listed that all
made the money themselves. Mister Musk came to the country
(17:24):
as an immigrant.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I understand that.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But what I'm asking you is when you have a
handful of people like Musk will soon be part of
the Trump administration and others, When you have three people
owning more wealth from the bottom half of American society,
when these people have enormous influence over the media, when
they spend huge amounts of money in both political parties
(17:48):
to elect candidates. But Biden said last liners, we're moving
toward an oligougy. I'm asking you that question. Do you
think forget how they made their money. Do you think
that when so few people, so much wealth and so
much economic and political power, so that is an oligarchic
form of society.
Speaker 15 (18:05):
Well, I wouldn't note that the President Biden gave the
Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think
would qualify for his oligarchs.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Joe Biden is so worried about oligarchs having too much
authority in the Trump adminis in the Trump administration that
his FCC fast tracked George soros Is purchase of over
two hundred radio stations before the November election. That's what
(18:38):
they did. They put George Soros. They allowed George Soros
to buy up a major part of American media. What
do you think he's going to use those stations for?
This is FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
There's a transaction where a Soros back group would take
ownership of over two one hundred radio stations across forty
different markets. After the sc originally indicating that that transaction
could be reviewed and approved at the bureau level without
a Comission vote, it's now become clear that that is
a decision before the full Commission, and it's one that
(19:14):
I would assume now or in the near future, the
Commission would approve. I think what's interesting about it is
that the FC here is not following its normal process
for viewing a transaction. We have established over a number
of years one way in which you can get approval
from the FCC when you have in excess of twenty
five percent foreign ownership, which this transaction does. And it
(19:36):
seems to me that the SEC is poised to create
for the first time an entirely new shortcut.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
As you pointed out here, in previously these proceedings for
transfer of ownership have been expedited. What exactly makes this
case so deserving of an expedited proceeding?
Speaker 16 (19:53):
So far, from what you could tell, there is nothing
about this transaction that is out of the ordinary. It's
the type of thing that we see all all the time,
and the FC has a process for this. The Full
Commission itself has never signed off on a shortcut like this.
We usually do is we require people to file a
petition with US. We bring in national security agencies they
(20:13):
can review the foreign ownership. It's probably no big deal here,
but we review that foreign ownership and then we vote.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Here they're trying to do.
Speaker 16 (20:20):
Something that's never been done before at the Commission level.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And would you be surprised to know that Joy Reid
is also very worried about oligarchs. Now, the twentieth.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Century was the era, the American century, when America pulled
itself back from this notion of oligarchy to an incredible extent, invented.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
A middle class.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
The things President Biden was talking about in that first
nine minutes, those are the things that the twentieth century built,
when we beat back the robber barons, and beat back
the trust and established an income tax which didn't exist
until the twentieth century, established women's rights, civil rights, immigrant rights.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's the twentieth century.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
And these oligarchs, they've always been there. Who do you
think was paying for you know, the Russell Limbaugh, he
was a very wealthy man. Fox is owned by an oligarch.
Who do they think is funding the Ben Shapiro another podcast.
The oligarchy's been hidden in the background the whole time.
And Biden is this pivot president as America is hurtling
(21:20):
towards sort of falling in love with these rich tech gods,
these tech bros.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
This is really rich coming from a woman making three
million dollars a year. All right back to Scott Bessen's hearing.
He's the Treasury Secretary nominee, Raphael Warnock, He's the Marxist
quote unquote. Pastor from Atlanta, representing state of Georgia asked
(21:49):
Vessent if ending tax cuts for people making over four
hundred thousand dollars would help close the deficit. His answer,
as the Great Rush Limbaugh would say, is right on,
right on.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Right on.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I think we need to be fiscally responsible. We need
to work to close the deficit and bring the national
debt under control. In twenty thirteen, Congress extended the Bush
tax cuts for everyone except those making more than four.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
This bipartisan decision save the Treasury six hundred billion dollars,
helping to narrow the deficit.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Do you agree that ending the tax cuts for.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Those making more than four hundred thousand would help close
the deficit and reduce our national debt.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Senator Warner, I do not.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
I believe that you would capture an inordinate amount of
small business people who largely.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Are in that cohort of four hundred thousand to a million, You.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Wouldn't cut it off at four hundred thousand? What about
one million dollars?
Speaker 15 (22:49):
That again, I believe these are small business passed through owners,
and I believe that we as I said before Wall
Street's grade, it's time for main Street to do well
and small businesses. I need to drive what I call
the reprivatization away from this government spending.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I agree that it's it's main Street's type.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Time.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I'm from Atlanta, so I'll say Peachtree and some other
locations in my state. What about those making more more
than than ten million? Would we reduced a deficit by
extending those tax cuts for folks making about a million
ten million dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So again, I think.
Speaker 15 (23:33):
It's important that we put in incentives for them to invest.
So going back to the one hundred percent appreciation for
equipment that I think.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
That So I don't mean to keep interrupting, but I'm
the pastor and we're knowing to be loquations of speech.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But I'm running out of time here. What about one
billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
So again that I think that these are the job creators.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
So there's no income level for which you would support
raising taxes?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Is that fair?
Speaker 17 (24:10):
There?
Speaker 15 (24:11):
Is no income level that I don't think we should
continue the TCJA.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
As it was.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
They remain scared the death of you, and they remain
scared to death of Trump. Michael Berry show. You're not
going anywhere even if Trump does, You're not. No one
has been tapped by President Trump to replace little bitty
Alejandro Majorcas. Did you know he's five two? In her
(24:40):
opening statement, she said, Americans and illegals live under different rules,
and this is so true, folks.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
We will undertake a large job and a large duty
that we have to fulfill that the American people expect
us to do by securing our border to make sure
that our nation is a nation with borders or we're
no nation at all, and that we are making sure
that those criminal actors that are perpetuating violence in our
communities and in our cities and towns and states are
(25:10):
removed from this country. That there's consequences for breaking the
law in our country. Again, there has to be consequences,
because when Americans break the law, there's consequences. And why
would we ever allow someone to come in from another
country and not allow them and not have consequences or
allow them to.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Continue to go forward?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
And to commit rape and murders and other break other
laws that endanger our society. So we've had over thirteen
thousand murders that are loose in this country that have
come over that border. We've had almost sixteen thousand rapists
and sexual assault perpetuators that are loose.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
In this country.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Right now, four hundred and twenty five thousand plus people
have criminal convictions that are here illegally in this country
that our current administration is doing nothing to round them
up and get them out of our country. We will
be doing that immediately, and that will be the priority.
And that is one of the reasons that today the
American people have lost their trust. President Trump will build
(26:07):
it back and know that their federal government is accountable
to them.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley asked Christy Noam if she would
shut down the CBP one app that the cartels have
used to traffic people to our southern border. Folks, we
are very well aware of this in Texas, but people
outside of Texas think we're crazy. If you understood how
much the cartel is running parts of this country and
(26:33):
what they're doing to our people, it would horrify you.
And he asked her, Are you going to stop that nonsense?
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Would pay for this kind of concierge service free legals,
I think is outrageous.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Will you end the use of the CBP.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
One app Yes, Senator, If confirmed and I have the
opportunity to be secretary, on day one, CBP one will
be shut down. There's data and information in there that
we will preserve so that we can ensure we know
who's coming into this country and who's already here that
we need to find.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But also we make sure.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
That there's another program CHMV, which I'm sure you're very
familiar with, where our federal government actually paid to fly
people into this country directly from other countries without any
vetting or knowing who they are. So there's several of
these programs that need to be eliminated, and we need
to ensure that we're following legal immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Glad you just mentioned H ANDV. This is another This
is a mass parole program.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Of course, as you know, our law allows parole and
only very limited circumstances. There are two circumstances and it
requires case by case evaluation. The president administration soon to
be gone, has granted mass parole and in direct defiance
of the law, not case by case evaluation. The HIV
program is one of those instances. Will you put a
stop to this abuse of our parole law in our
(27:44):
asylum system.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Yes, we will go back to case by case evaluation
of these parole cases and ensure that we have more resources,
if you will partner with us to make sure that
our legal immigration system is fully utilized, that we have
more judges, more immigration court so that we can process
people legally and make sure that they are going through
that process rather than the well like Joe Biden has done,
(28:08):
use this as an excuse to allow people to come
into our country with no consequences.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
He then asked her if the southern border was currently secure,
and you know it's not.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
The Department of Homeland Security is not particularly old, but
you already have the what I hope will soon be
the distinction of succeeding the worst secretary in the history
of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandra Mayorcus has been
an absolute disgrace to that department and fronted in this country.
And I'm delighted to see you willing to step up
(28:40):
and serve. Let me just ask you something I repeatedly
asked your predecessor, when he sat where you're sitting, whether
the southern border was secure, and he repeatedly told me,
under oath, it is secure, Senator. And he repeatedly said,
under oath, our policies are working, Senator, meaning the Biden
administration policies that of course gave us this.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Devastating open border.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
So let me just ask you, is the southern border
secure as we find it today.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Senator, No, the southern border is not secure today. But
in just three days, we will have a new president
in this country, President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Trump, and he will secure our border. That is refreshing.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Candor.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
News Nation reports that some illegals are self deporting ahead
of President Trump's inauguration. I started the show by saying, everybody,
in their own way, is reacting to the Trump win.
One of the things is that illegals who know they
shouldn't be here, some of them are going, you know what,
(29:37):
I'm heading back now already. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
It's awesome.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Trump has promised to carry out the largest deportation operation
in US history, and before those operations begin, some migrants
are already choosing to leave the country voluntarily. News Nation's
hoeh Eventura j Wins, It's live from San Antonio, Texas
this morning with more on this story, or Hey, how
many migrants are we actually seeing doing this leaving.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Voluntarily right now?
Speaker 17 (30:05):
Market?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's unclear, but we are starting to see a trend.
Speaker 17 (30:07):
And this comes as cities across the US and Mexico
are now bracing for president.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
And luxe deportation operation.
Speaker 17 (30:13):
But it is hardline messaging on those deportation efforts have
some migrants panicking and some even choosing now to self
deport back to the home countries. I spoke with immigration
attorney Rolando Vascuez, who tells me that some of the
immigrants that he represents that entered under the Biden administration
are now choosing to return home fearing deportation under the
incoming administration.
Speaker 12 (30:32):
Just as recent as yesterday, they notified me that they
are going to depart the country voluntarily and understanding that
the Trump administration is going to carry through on their promises.
Speaker 17 (30:45):
And it's not just Trump's deportation plans that influenced these decisions,
Vascae says, it's also that Mexico is now open to
accepting non Mexican deportees. Mexico's move would impact Cuban and
Venezuela migrants the most, since those countries typically do not
accept deportation flights from the US, but may from Mexico.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
This is causing for many migrants to leave on their
own and knowing that they're either going to be deported
to their home country or be deported to Mexico. And they, obviously,
the overwhelming majority of them do not want to be
in Mexico.
Speaker 17 (31:18):
And my sources in Mexico tell me that it's likely
that cartails and smothers will exploit, kidnap and extort those
newly deported migrants. As of right now, it's unclear if
Mexico has a plan to protect those deported migrants.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Market.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Yeah, porter is about to change on Monday. At least
that's what voters were promised. Pohavntura, thank you so much.
Live from San Antonio this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The Republican senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, says it would
be premature to comment on whether she'll vote for Trump's nominees.
I got to tell you, this woman is nothing but
a problem. The Republicans in her state do not like her,
she couldn't win her own Republican primary. She comes from,
(32:00):
as I understand, in a prominent family there that helps
her keep getting elected, and the Democrats are voting for her.
We're seeing this in Texas is how they just won
the Speaker's office. We're seeing the situation where the Democrats
have no real influence because they can't ever get to
fifty one percent, so instead they throw their votes behind
(32:20):
the least conservative Republican that will trash Donald Trump. So
when she says it's premature to comment on whether she'll
vote for Trump's nominees, rest assured if she can get
away with it, She's not going to vote for Trump's
nominees who he has chosen to carry out the agenda
that you elected him to carry out. So what does
(32:42):
that tell you about what Lisa Murkowski thinks about you.
Speaker 18 (32:45):
I am in the midst of the advice and consent role.
This is exactly the second confirmation hearing that I have
been a part of. How he just started the confirmation
hearings this week, I, along with everybody in the country,
is watching them, and so I think it's premature to
(33:06):
ask where I will be on every nominee until this
process actually gets smoothing.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
So I'm doing what I do
Speaker 18 (33:15):
Best, which is learning a lot, so thank you
It's that time, time time time, lucking loud to Michael
Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):

We gonna keep them hide a round until the break,
and I can feel a good one feel, I can
feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I received an email this morning. I thought I would
share with you to start the show because it probably
speaks to how many of you feel, maybe all of you.
I'd like to think. It was from a fellow named
David Liebenstein. I don't know him. He sent an email
as a listener through the website, which is Michael Berryshow
(02:52):
dot com and the subject of the email is Inauguration Day.
And the body of the email said simply, in one sentence,
have you ever experienced another Friday like this one where
millions of working men and women across the country are
(03:16):
looking forward to Monday? That's how you write an email
to a person that gets over a thousand emails a day.
You get it right to the point. Think about this
for a moment. Have you ever experienced another Friday like this?
One like today, where millions of working men and women
(03:39):
across the country are looking forward to Monday? And He's right,
it feels like Christmas Eve. Mama, can we please open
some packages? Mama? Can we please please please? We can't
wait to get up. We can't wait that long? Can
we just open the packages tonight. Some of you probably
(04:02):
open your packages New Year's Eve, or you do what
we do where you string them out. You might start
four or five days before. I have two boys, one
seventeen about to be eighteen, the other who just turned nineteen,
Michael t and Crockett. And they are big boys, and
(04:24):
they are tough boys. And they're stronger than me, faster
than me, better looking than me. They have all the
hubris of a young testosterone young man. Right, and yet
when it comes to Christmas, about two weeks out, they
start slipping around behind the tree and putting things to
(04:48):
their ear to see what it is. And my wife
plays all these games. She'll flip, she'll put Crockett in
real little letters, She'll put Crockett. This year, she put
Crockett on Michael's gifts and Michael on Crockett's gifts because
they're they don't care what the other one's getting, so
at least that part would be safe. And then as
we get closer living and we can we open can
we open our gifts? Before?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We should have to wait till Christmas Day? And we
always give you And that's the fun of it, right,
that level of excitement that you never have again in
your life. Oh, you have it a few times, right
your honeymoon, the first time you're with the woman you love,
or ladies, the man you're you love. That level of
excitement and anticipation is how I feel right now. I
(05:32):
can't wait till Monday. And all I've heard from is
from listeners who can't wait till Monday. Not because we
are happy for Donald Trump that he gets to do
what he wants to do, because we are happy for America.
That the things he's going to do are good for America.
The things he's going to do are good for future generations.
(05:55):
They're actually they're good for the world. The world is
going to be a safer, better place because Donald Trump
is president, because of the people he's putting in cabinet positions,
because the politicians have been told, in no uncertain terms,
(06:15):
this is what the American people want. The politicians are
going to behave better, not perfectly, but better because they
are now aware that the vast majority of Americans are
willing to throw them out of office. And I don't
(06:35):
really care whether the Democrats get that message or not,
but it's important to Republicans understand, and the Republicans are
being made to understand. It's being drilled into their hard heads.
Your voters, the Republican voters who are the deciders whether
you come back or not. They're not tolerating any games
(06:58):
any longer. You're going to vote the way the base wants.
You're going to actually live up to the promises you made.
You go back every two years, you congressman, and you
go back every six years, you senators, you John Cornyn's,
and you go back, and you all of a sudden
become lock out. The illegals, deport the illegals, close the border.
(07:19):
And then you come back up here and you play games.
You go home and say, oh, the Green New Deal,
the global warming is bull. And then you come back,
You play games. You go home, and you promise things
that you don't deliver on because you never intended to
in the first place. And you think that we're stupid,
and you think the power of incumbency, and you think,
(07:41):
you think that you can keep getting away with this forever,
and you cannot, and you will not. It will not
be allowed to stand. And all of that was ushered
in with the Trump victory and Trump couldn't do it alone.
You had to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The beauty is, you know when you go if you
like stand up comedy, like I do, one of the
things when you're sitting there and somebody tells a joke
and it's like about a very private thing and you're laughing.
You see everybody else's like you go, oh, other people
feel that way too. This is the reminder everybody that
matters feels the way we do about the future of
(08:21):
this country. And that's awesome. Michael Barry Show. If he
doesn't say it, then who will. We fellas are always
getting in trouble with our wives. It's the mirrors or
replicates the relationship we had with our mothers. They keep
letting us off the hood because they succumb to our charms.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Women are built to keep us in line and keep
us from destroying ourselves, and soften our edges and forgive
us our failings. That's the truth. We drink too much,
(09:07):
we eat too much, we sleep too much, we take
too many risks, we drive too fast, we get up
on the ladder when we shouldn't, and they're there to,
you know, kiss our booboo after it happens. And that's
just the way it is. But almost every man out
(09:32):
there knows what I'm talking about of when your wife
is disapproving of something you've said or done and you're going, oh,
come on, it was funny, Oh come on, come on,
and you're trying to get it to be okay, and
at that moment, you're going back to the same relationship
you had with your mother, except your mother was probably
(09:52):
less reasonable with you than you hope your wife would be,
because at least she's closer in age to you. Does
that make sense to you, Ramon, I'm so fired up.
I'm so fired up for this because I haven't been
this fired up in a long time. I wasn't this
fired up in eighty because I was only ten years
old or in eighty one when Reagan took office. But
I'm a student of history, including and especially modern history,
(10:18):
and I look at what happened when Reagan was elected.
You know, you look at the numbers, the inflation numbers,
and the interest rate. They shot the interest rate up
for home mortgages to there were people paying sixteen seventeen percent.
I mean, that's my good, that's that's brack. That is
(10:41):
back breaking, that is back breaking interest rate. You had
an inflation that I think it got up to thirteen.
I should be looking at these numbers instead of spitting
them out, but I was just reading this the other day.
I mean, those were the kind of numbers you talk
about stagflation. You have everything costing more but no new
economic activity. That creates not only harsh living conditions, it
(11:07):
exacerbates mental health problems. It causes depression, it causes divorces,
It affects everybody. It can create physical elements stemming from
the mental problems. And then Reagan comes in and our
vibrant private sector absolutely exploded, just went crazy. And you know,
(11:32):
Democrats talk about the eighties as if it was an
awful thing because people made a lot of money, because
people showed off that they made a lot of money,
And that's terrible for the left. You shouldn't make a
lot of money. We don't want to have those times
again where people are making money and happy and buying
boats and second homes and taking vacations and buying convertibles
(11:57):
and buying clothes. We don't want that because not everybody
got rich. Yeah, it's true. Some people committed murder and
went to prison. Some people chose jobs that don't pay well,
knowing that they don't pay well. Some people can't show
up to work. Some people got fired, some people got
laid off. Some businesses closed while others opened. So it's
(12:21):
true not everybody got rich. When a lot of people,
when I say got rich, did better than they had
done under Carter, the left will point out, yeah, but
one percent of people didn't do better. Well, you can't
win with these people. It's impossible to win. But that's
what we want. We want that exuberance to return right now.
(12:45):
It's hope, it is optimism, it is excitement, and I
think that's a good I think we needed that. I
really believe we desperately, desperately needed that. Okay, you're right, Ramon,
it is time and I always look forward to this.
It is time courtesy of the greatest executive producer in
(13:08):
all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi. You're a week in review, Nickdonald.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
McDonald.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
In the seventies and into the eighties, McDonald's was cool,
and I can remember going in and it was like
a miniature version of Astroworld. I'm not joking. It was
exciting and they had a playground, they knew the kids
would end up in prison. So you had a hamburger
that was held together by prison bars, and you'd sit
in there. Your mother would look at you and just
hope you didn't come out so she could have a
moment of piece. Rats.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Yes, rats dining on drugs in one of the Houston
Police departments evidence rooms.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
We're talking everything from marijuana to psychedelic mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We got four hundred thousand pounds of marijuana in storage
that the rats are the only ones that join it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is difficult getting these rudents out of there.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Let me think about it. They're drug addicted rats. They're
tough to deal with.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The rats are laying around, eat up with the note.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
The governor wants the flags that are being flown at
half staff right now in honor of Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Raised back to full staff for the swearing in.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
A President's electronk next week.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Following the national call to honor the life of a
former president.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
By flying those flags at half staff, it is a
thirty day salute to Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Do we do that for veterans? Do we do that
for service members who go into battle risking it all?
And die. Do we do that for good Samaritans who die?
Speaker 11 (14:37):
To President Biden's farewell address to the nation typical mumbling,
bumbling and stumbling as usual among.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Our creative director asked me how much of Biden's farewell
addressed do you want me to cut up and load
for us to play? And I said, not one word.
Don't waste a moment of energy. There wasn't a person
in this country glued to the set. Wait see what
old Joe Biden had to say on his way out.
(15:12):
I was down and how was never heard?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Thinking?
Speaker 12 (15:21):
God?
Speaker 13 (15:22):
Mom. He came along and he said, there's another colla
fucause when.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm thinking, to your eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Shot, when I look int your eyes, bring on? What
would you do with the brain of you had one?
Bring it on? Because there is nothing here. Michael Veri,
Shoe Pam Bondy Pete Heg said, these guys all have
(16:08):
a steely resolve, and they're smart and they're ready for
what's coming. But they have also been prepped so that
they are performing very well. They are making me extremely proud.
I have to tell you, when you have.
Speaker 14 (16:23):
A small number of multi billionaires who have enormous economic,
media and political power, would you agree with President Biden
who last night stated, and I quote and oligaki is
taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence
(16:45):
that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedom's
end of quote.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
That's what President Biden said last night. I agree with him,
do you, Senator Senders, I enjoyed or visit. You can
talk a little bit closer into I enjoyed her visit.
Speaker 15 (17:01):
And I hope you've got my follow up materials that
on the discussion, my precious writings on the Terras and
China and the three billionaires who you listed that all
made the money themselves. Mister Musk came to the country
(17:24):
as an immigrant.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I understand that.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
But what I'm asking you is when you have a
handful of people like Musk will soon be part of
the Trump administration and others, When you have three people
owning more wealth from the bottom half of American society,
when these people have enormous influence over the media, when
they spend huge amounts of money in both political parties
(17:48):
to elect candidates. But Biden said last liners, we're moving
toward an oligougy. I'm asking you that question. Do you
think forget how they made their money. Do you think
that when so few people, so much wealth and so
much economic and political power, so that is an oligarchic
form of society.
Speaker 15 (18:05):
Well, I wouldn't note that the President Biden gave the
Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think
would qualify for his oligarchs.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Joe Biden is so worried about oligarchs having too much
authority in the Trump adminis in the Trump administration that
his FCC fast tracked George soros Is purchase of over
two hundred radio stations before the November election. That's what
(18:38):
they did. They put George Soros. They allowed George Soros
to buy up a major part of American media. What
do you think he's going to use those stations for?
This is FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
There's a transaction where a Soros back group would take
ownership of over two one hundred radio stations across forty
different markets. After the sc originally indicating that that transaction
could be reviewed and approved at the bureau level without
a Comission vote, it's now become clear that that is
a decision before the full Commission, and it's one that
(19:14):
I would assume now or in the near future, the
Commission would approve. I think what's interesting about it is
that the FC here is not following its normal process
for viewing a transaction. We have established over a number
of years one way in which you can get approval
from the FCC when you have in excess of twenty
five percent foreign ownership, which this transaction does. And it
(19:36):
seems to me that the SEC is poised to create
for the first time an entirely new shortcut.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
As you pointed out here, in previously these proceedings for
transfer of ownership have been expedited. What exactly makes this
case so deserving of an expedited proceeding?
Speaker 16 (19:53):
So far, from what you could tell, there is nothing
about this transaction that is out of the ordinary. It's
the type of thing that we see all all the time,
and the FC has a process for this. The Full
Commission itself has never signed off on a shortcut like this.
We usually do is we require people to file a
petition with US. We bring in national security agencies they
(20:13):
can review the foreign ownership. It's probably no big deal here,
but we review that foreign ownership and then we vote.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Here they're trying to do.
Speaker 16 (20:20):
Something that's never been done before at the Commission level.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And would you be surprised to know that Joy Reid
is also very worried about oligarchs. Now, the twentieth.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Century was the era, the American century, when America pulled
itself back from this notion of oligarchy to an incredible extent, invented.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
A middle class.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
The things President Biden was talking about in that first
nine minutes, those are the things that the twentieth century built,
when we beat back the robber barons, and beat back
the trust and established an income tax which didn't exist
until the twentieth century, established women's rights, civil rights, immigrant rights.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That's the twentieth century.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
And these oligarchs, they've always been there. Who do you
think was paying for you know, the Russell Limbaugh, he
was a very wealthy man. Fox is owned by an oligarch.
Who do they think is funding the Ben Shapiro another podcast.
The oligarchy's been hidden in the background the whole time.
And Biden is this pivot president as America is hurtling
(21:20):
towards sort of falling in love with these rich tech gods,
these tech bros.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
This is really rich coming from a woman making three
million dollars a year. All right back to Scott Bessen's hearing.
He's the Treasury Secretary nominee, Raphael Warnock, He's the Marxist
quote unquote. Pastor from Atlanta, representing state of Georgia asked
(21:49):
Vessent if ending tax cuts for people making over four
hundred thousand dollars would help close the deficit. His answer,
as the Great Rush Limbaugh would say, is right on,
right on.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Right on.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I think we need to be fiscally responsible. We need
to work to close the deficit and bring the national
debt under control. In twenty thirteen, Congress extended the Bush
tax cuts for everyone except those making more than four.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
This bipartisan decision save the Treasury six hundred billion dollars,
helping to narrow the deficit.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Do you agree that ending the tax cuts for.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Those making more than four hundred thousand would help close
the deficit and reduce our national debt.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Senator Warner, I do not.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
I believe that you would capture an inordinate amount of
small business people who largely.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Are in that cohort of four hundred thousand to a million, You.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Wouldn't cut it off at four hundred thousand? What about
one million dollars?
Speaker 15 (22:49):
That again, I believe these are small business passed through owners,
and I believe that we as I said before Wall
Street's grade, it's time for main Street to do well
and small businesses. I need to drive what I call
the reprivatization away from this government spending.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I agree that it's it's main Street's type.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Time.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I'm from Atlanta, so I'll say Peachtree and some other
locations in my state. What about those making more more
than than ten million? Would we reduced a deficit by
extending those tax cuts for folks making about a million
ten million dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So again, I think.
Speaker 15 (23:33):
It's important that we put in incentives for them to invest.
So going back to the one hundred percent appreciation for
equipment that I think.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
That So I don't mean to keep interrupting, but I'm
the pastor and we're knowing to be loquations of speech.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But I'm running out of time here. What about one
billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
So again that I think that these are the job creators.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
So there's no income level for which you would support
raising taxes?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Is that fair?
Speaker 17 (24:10):
There?
Speaker 15 (24:11):
Is no income level that I don't think we should
continue the TCJA.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
As it was.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
They remain scared the death of you, and they remain
scared to death of Trump. Michael Berry show. You're not
going anywhere even if Trump does, You're not. No one
has been tapped by President Trump to replace little bitty
Alejandro Majorcas. Did you know he's five two? In her
(24:40):
opening statement, she said, Americans and illegals live under different rules,
and this is so true, folks.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
We will undertake a large job and a large duty
that we have to fulfill that the American people expect
us to do by securing our border to make sure
that our nation is a nation with borders or we're
no nation at all, and that we are making sure
that those criminal actors that are perpetuating violence in our
communities and in our cities and towns and states are
(25:10):
removed from this country. That there's consequences for breaking the
law in our country. Again, there has to be consequences,
because when Americans break the law, there's consequences. And why
would we ever allow someone to come in from another
country and not allow them and not have consequences or
allow them to.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Continue to go forward?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
And to commit rape and murders and other break other
laws that endanger our society. So we've had over thirteen
thousand murders that are loose in this country that have
come over that border. We've had almost sixteen thousand rapists
and sexual assault perpetuators that are loose.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
In this country.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Right now, four hundred and twenty five thousand plus people
have criminal convictions that are here illegally in this country
that our current administration is doing nothing to round them
up and get them out of our country. We will
be doing that immediately, and that will be the priority.
And that is one of the reasons that today the
American people have lost their trust. President Trump will build
(26:07):
it back and know that their federal government is accountable
to them.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley asked Christy Noam if she would
shut down the CBP one app that the cartels have
used to traffic people to our southern border. Folks, we
are very well aware of this in Texas, but people
outside of Texas think we're crazy. If you understood how
much the cartel is running parts of this country and
(26:33):
what they're doing to our people, it would horrify you.
And he asked her, Are you going to stop that nonsense?
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Would pay for this kind of concierge service free legals,
I think is outrageous.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Will you end the use of the CBP.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
One app Yes, Senator, If confirmed and I have the
opportunity to be secretary, on day one, CBP one will
be shut down. There's data and information in there that
we will preserve so that we can ensure we know
who's coming into this country and who's already here that
we need to find.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But also we make sure.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
That there's another program CHMV, which I'm sure you're very
familiar with, where our federal government actually paid to fly
people into this country directly from other countries without any
vetting or knowing who they are. So there's several of
these programs that need to be eliminated, and we need
to ensure that we're following legal immigration laws.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Glad you just mentioned H ANDV. This is another This
is a mass parole program.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Of course, as you know, our law allows parole and
only very limited circumstances. There are two circumstances and it
requires case by case evaluation. The president administration soon to
be gone, has granted mass parole and in direct defiance
of the law, not case by case evaluation. The HIV
program is one of those instances. Will you put a
stop to this abuse of our parole law in our
(27:44):
asylum system.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Yes, we will go back to case by case evaluation
of these parole cases and ensure that we have more resources,
if you will partner with us to make sure that
our legal immigration system is fully utilized, that we have
more judges, more immigration court so that we can process
people legally and make sure that they are going through
that process rather than the well like Joe Biden has done,
(28:08):
use this as an excuse to allow people to come
into our country with no consequences.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
He then asked her if the southern border was currently secure,
and you know it's not.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
The Department of Homeland Security is not particularly old, but
you already have the what I hope will soon be
the distinction of succeeding the worst secretary in the history
of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandra Mayorcus has been
an absolute disgrace to that department and fronted in this country.
And I'm delighted to see you willing to step up
(28:40):
and serve. Let me just ask you something I repeatedly
asked your predecessor, when he sat where you're sitting, whether
the southern border was secure, and he repeatedly told me,
under oath, it is secure, Senator. And he repeatedly said,
under oath, our policies are working, Senator, meaning the Biden
administration policies that of course gave us this.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Devastating open border.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
So let me just ask you, is the southern border
secure as we find it today.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Senator, No, the southern border is not secure today. But
in just three days, we will have a new president
in this country, President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Trump, and he will secure our border. That is refreshing.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Candor.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
News Nation reports that some illegals are self deporting ahead
of President Trump's inauguration. I started the show by saying, everybody,
in their own way, is reacting to the Trump win.
One of the things is that illegals who know they
shouldn't be here, some of them are going, you know what,
(29:37):
I'm heading back now already. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
It's awesome.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Trump has promised to carry out the largest deportation operation
in US history, and before those operations begin, some migrants
are already choosing to leave the country voluntarily. News Nation's
hoeh Eventura j Wins, It's live from San Antonio, Texas
this morning with more on this story, or Hey, how
many migrants are we actually seeing doing this leaving.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Voluntarily right now?
Speaker 17 (30:05):
Market?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's unclear, but we are starting to see a trend.
Speaker 17 (30:07):
And this comes as cities across the US and Mexico
are now bracing for president.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
And luxe deportation operation.
Speaker 17 (30:13):
But it is hardline messaging on those deportation efforts have
some migrants panicking and some even choosing now to self
deport back to the home countries. I spoke with immigration
attorney Rolando Vascuez, who tells me that some of the
immigrants that he represents that entered under the Biden administration
are now choosing to return home fearing deportation under the
incoming administration.
Speaker 12 (30:32):
Just as recent as yesterday, they notified me that they
are going to depart the country voluntarily and understanding that
the Trump administration is going to carry through on their promises.
Speaker 17 (30:45):
And it's not just Trump's deportation plans that influenced these decisions,
Vascae says, it's also that Mexico is now open to
accepting non Mexican deportees. Mexico's move would impact Cuban and
Venezuela migrants the most, since those countries typically do not
accept deportation flights from the US, but may from Mexico.
Speaker 12 (31:03):
This is causing for many migrants to leave on their
own and knowing that they're either going to be deported
to their home country or be deported to Mexico. And they, obviously,
the overwhelming majority of them do not want to be
in Mexico.
Speaker 17 (31:18):
And my sources in Mexico tell me that it's likely
that cartails and smothers will exploit, kidnap and extort those
newly deported migrants. As of right now, it's unclear if
Mexico has a plan to protect those deported migrants.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Market.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Yeah, porter is about to change on Monday. At least
that's what voters were promised. Pohavntura, thank you so much.
Live from San Antonio this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
The Republican senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, says it would
be premature to comment on whether she'll vote for Trump's nominees.
I got to tell you, this woman is nothing but
a problem. The Republicans in her state do not like her,
she couldn't win her own Republican primary. She comes from,
(32:00):
as I understand, in a prominent family there that helps
her keep getting elected, and the Democrats are voting for her.
We're seeing this in Texas is how they just won
the Speaker's office. We're seeing the situation where the Democrats
have no real influence because they can't ever get to
fifty one percent, so instead they throw their votes behind
(32:20):
the least conservative Republican that will trash Donald Trump. So
when she says it's premature to comment on whether she'll
vote for Trump's nominees, rest assured if she can get
away with it, She's not going to vote for Trump's
nominees who he has chosen to carry out the agenda
that you elected him to carry out. So what does
(32:42):
that tell you about what Lisa Murkowski thinks about you.
Speaker 18 (32:45):
I am in the midst of the advice and consent role.
This is exactly the second confirmation hearing that I have
been a part of. How he just started the confirmation
hearings this week, I, along with everybody in the country,
is watching them, and so I think it's premature to
(33:06):
ask where I will be on every nominee until this
process actually gets smoothing.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
So I'm doing what I do
Speaker 18 (33:15):
Best, which is learning a lot, so thank you
