Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
In the name of our God, I ask you to
have mercy upon the people in our country. We're scared though.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston, who last
month was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death aft
to walk into the convenience sourist a block away from
her house. Her body was dumped near the side of
the road in a shallow creek, found by some onlookers
who couldn't believe what they had witnessed. Charged with Joscelyn's
(00:46):
heinous murder. Or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who came
across our border were in custody and were then released
into the country by this horrible, horrible administration that we.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Have right now.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Wants asked, we have mercy, mister President, on those in
our communities whose children fear that their parents will be
taken away.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families go home?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Of course, yes, families can be deported together.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Want May God grant us the strength and courage to
honor the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister,
Rachel Maron. Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom
of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered
while out on her runs. She wanted to keep herself
in good shape. It was very important she was murdered.
The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador
(02:12):
before he was let into America by the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
This White House let.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Them in.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Speak the truth to one another, in love and walcomely
with each other and our God to the mains.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Of the illegal aims that Joe Biden's released in our
country and violation of federal law. You better start packing
now because you're going home.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Just warning.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
The official Twitter feed of the White House posted vote.
In the last twenty four hours, ICE arrested over three
hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of them were murderers,
some of them were rapists, some of them raped a child.
(03:16):
ICE is performing excellent right now out in the field,
and they're going to continue every day. That was a
quotation attributed to Tom Homan. The borders are He was
on CNN with Dana Bash when he told her that
ICE will enforce immigration laws.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
What is happening as we speak, is limited to those
with criminal records.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
That's a target of this operation. Like I said many times,
in places like sanctuary cities, where we can't arrest a
bad person in the jail, we would like to have
access to the jail to arrest the criminal alien in
the safety and security of the county jail, which is
safer for the community, safer for the officers for the alien.
But when you release a public safety threat of sanctuary
jail and won't give us access to him, that means
(04:06):
we got to go to the neighborhood and find him,
and we will find him. But when we find him,
he may be with others. Others that don't have a
criminal conviction are in the country legally, they will be
arrested too, because we're not going to struck. And this
is the difference between the last administration and this administration.
ICE is going to force the immigration law. There's nothing
in the I in a immigration nationality I says you
got to be convicted of a serious crime in order
(04:28):
to be removed from this country. So there's going to
be more collabal ar rest in Santory cities could because
they forced us to go in the community and find
and find the guy we're looking for.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying,
because at first she said that the first targets are
those with criminal records, But you are also saying that
those who are undocumented in the US also who don't
have criminal records, people who are working in their communities,
maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could
(04:59):
be swept up with today as well.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
What I'm telling you is, when we go find that
priority tiger, which is a criminal alien, if he's were
with the others in the United States illegally, we're going
to take enforcement action against them. We're going to forced
immigration law.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
What happens then, so the ICE officers gets an individual
or a set of individuals and apprehends them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What next?
Speaker 9 (05:26):
What do these ICE officers do with them? Because in
some cases you know this far better than I, they
haven't been deported in the past because their country of
origin won't take them.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Well, what happens after the rest they're taken into an
ICE office and their process and put in detention. While
they're in an attention, ICE officers work on travel documents.
The whost countries since travel documents saying yeah, this is
our citizen, this is our national then we make flightor
race risks. So they could be an attention from a
few days for a few weeks until that remove was
(05:59):
made happen.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
What if the host country doesn't want them, as has
happened in the recent past.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
We have various plans. We have various plans. Other countries
are willing to take them. We have Thursday country movals,
So that's something we're working through. But I think you're
going to see less of the reel countries. Countries won't
take their citizens back under this president. This president has
vowed that these countries will take them back. So I'll
leave that up to the White House, but there will
be negotiations with those countries were pushing back in recul citency,
(06:28):
and they.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Will be removed.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Let me, in the words of Tom Homan talking on
Fox News, let him share with you what has happened
since they shut down the CBP APP that was enabling
illegal aliens to get into our country and how the
numbers have dropped dramatically.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Listen to this.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Absolutely look the greatest president in my lifetime. He's back
because in two days last twenty four hours. Total apprehensions
on the southwest border one hundred and sixty six. Compare
that to the ten of twelve thousand Biden had at
one time cv CVP one.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Release that for a.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Second zero when he says, compare that to the ten
to twelve thousand Biden had at one time. That's ten
to twelve thousand apprehensions at the border per day. I
don't want you to think that was a year or
even a month. That is per day, that is three
(07:29):
hundred and sixty thousand a month. That is over four
million a year. That's the apprehensions folks. That's the folks
using the app showed up and going no speaking English,
y'all got some free stuff for me, and our government
will say absolutely, We'll kick the veterans out of these apartments.
(07:53):
We'll kick the We've just built this gymnasium in the
community for this group of retirees. We'll kick them out.
We got some folks living over here in public housing.
Will kick them out because we want you here. You
are part of the great replacement to replace the Americans
(08:14):
who aren't voting for our socialist agenda. You're the foot soldier.
Of course, we'll accommodate you. Well, no more. This is
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It is very important to the left the hold.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
That illegal aliens continue to stream into this country. And
you can keep telling them, Yeah, but they're murdering our people,
they're raping people, they're burgling our homes.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
The story broke.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Today they caught some guys who were Chilean nationals in
this country illegally. While Joe Burrows LSU, I mean, arguably
the greatest football season for a quarterback of all time.
No less than Johnny Manziel says that, and the stats
don't lie. Joe Burrows goes from LSU, where he wins
(09:07):
the national championship, and Cincinnati is lucky enough to get him.
He goes to the Bengals. Well, these illegal aliens. Is
how sophisticated these guys are. They know when he's playing
a game, including when he's out of town while the
game is going on, they break into his home and
(09:30):
just for fun, in addition to the other things they steal,
they steal his jerseys, his Bengals gear, his LSU gear.
We don't need these people, we don't want them. Little
girl named Joscelyn Nongerae was tied up, tortured, raped over
(09:57):
the course of several hours, tortured some more, killed, and
then thrown into a gully.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Like she was trash.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
We're prosecuting those two illegal aliens in this country, in
this state of Texas, death penalty, and not soon enough,
not soon enough.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But these cases aren't random anymore. That's just it. They're
all over the country.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
We've had illegal aliens setting fires in Los Angeles in
the midst of all the fires. By the way, San
Clemente now the latest to have to have fires spreading
through there.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They set fires.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
They've got equipment to see where the cops and the
firefighters are, so before the cops and firefighters can get
in there, the people evacuate their home without taking any precautions.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They're just trying to save their lives.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
They grab their pets and get out, and as they're
running out the front door, the illegals are running in
the back to steal all their stuff. These aren't ag
workers anymore, folks. These are sophisticated crime syndicates, including the cartels.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We'll get to that in a moment.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
WUSA nine, a television station in Washington, DC, had an
immigration attorney on to help advise illegal aliens how to
avoid law enforcement and detainment. They are assisting people in
breaking the law.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Listen to this, what advice immediate advice can you give
them to kind of help with the fear and to
help give them some tools for here's what I can
do if I'm approached. Absolutely, one of the very first
things that we educate people is what are your rights
when you are encountering an ice agent or even just
law enforcement. Most of the time when people encounter or
(12:00):
ice agents, it's usually seventy to seventy five percent of
immigration arrests happen after a law enforcement arrest. So the
most average immigrant in the United States is not out
committing crimes, but if they were in a collateral situation
at the wrong place at the wrong time, we usually
advise them to know whether it to identify. At least
(12:20):
if there is a judicial warrant that is presented that
is signed by a judge, issued in a state court
or a federal district court that basically gives federal agents
the authority whether they consent or not to enter the
United States. That document can be slipped under the door,
pressed against the window if it's an administrative document that
says Department of Homeland Security on it, they can say
(12:42):
I do not consent to you entering my home. They
can say I would like to speak to an attorney.
There's a lot of things that we teach and share
with the community so that they can best protect themselves
and maintain family unity. If there is an unfortunate situation
where an arrest does happen, we make ourselves available immediately
to help out.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke with Tucker Carlson, stating
that he believes he was targeted by Biden's Department of
Justice in retaliation for his criticism of illegal immigration. And
I will remind you how we arrived at that point.
Eric Adams was all for the sanctuary city crap. Now
he's a former cop. He knew it was a bad thing,
(13:24):
but he played along because the Democrats were his supporters.
And then he saw that the government was dumping illegal
aliens in New York in massive numbers. It was causing crimes,
it was causing his budget to burst at the seams.
It was unmanageable, and he spoke out about it and
(13:45):
that that will not be tolerated.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
Because you complained about allowing ten hundreds of thousands of
illegals from foreign nationals who have no right to be
here to come to your city and you have to
pay for it, and you complained.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Diamond was punishment for complaining.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
So that is that is clearly my belief, and based
on several aspects of it that I can't go into detail,
but there are other aspects of it that shows me that,
you know, I was targeted because of that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So if we could just walk through and leave out
the parts.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
You can't talk about, of course, but this happens at
the beginning of the Biden administration, which is close to
the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All these foreig nationals start showing up in New York.
They have no money, they have no jobs, they have no.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Place to stay, and you have to deal with them,
and the taxpayers here have to deal with them.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So you go to Washington. What were those meetings like,
sharing with them that this was the problem, sharing what
did you speak to?
Speaker 7 (14:41):
I smoke with Julie Shabez is one of the personnel,
Perez another personnel.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I spoke with the president himself.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I spoke with the president first then the President came
here to New York City, the governor and I sat
down went with the President. I said, mister President, I'm
not sure what they're telling you about this problem, but
this is a terrible problem that's planning out on the
ground that we need to fix our border and we
need to just stop allowing people to come into the
(15:12):
country with no destiny.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
We don't know what we're.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Doing with them.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And they were tucking.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
There was some that were coming here that were almost
six months to a year, in some cases two years
without any work authorization, Like, what do you do with
someone that cannot provide for themselves for that long period
of time?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, what do you do? We We had to house them.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
We had to feed, clothes, house, educate forty thousand children,
hold them into a shelter system, the complete package of
what you would do for an adult that can't take
care of themselves.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
And so you tell the President and his aids this,
and what do they say.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Basically, be a good Democrat, Eric, be a good Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That was the basic overall theme.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
You know.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
One of his aides told me that listen, this is
like a goldstone, it'll pass.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's like a Gallstone. It'll pass. Yes, it'll hurt now,
but it'll pass. Well, you pee it out, then what
do you have to.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Me?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Eric Adams, the former mayor of New York sound like
Bis Marquis. You you got one the listen, come back
with it and tell me side by.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Side it happens.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
The Michael Varry Show press another personnel. I spoke with
the president himselves. I spoke with the president first. Then
the President came here to New York City, the governor
and I sat down, went to the President and I said,
mister President, I'm not sure what they're telling you about
this problem, but this this is a terrible problem that's
playing out on the ground that we need to fix
(16:48):
out borders and we need to just stop allowing people
to come into the country.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
With no destiny. We don't know what we're doing with them,
and they were sucking.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
There was some that were coming here that were almost
six months, two years.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
You got what I need, But you see, I got
Eric Adams bismarket.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's close enough.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
The reason Trump is pushing the deportations and frankly all
of his agenda, the reason he's not waiting one minute
for new keys to the bathroom till he starts getting busy.
Reason he's not settling in and just doing ceremonial stuff
is he understands the time is nigh. He understands there
(17:33):
won't be long to get this done. We'll have we'll
have midterm elections in November of twenty six. It's twenty
one months from now, and Democrats for all of twenty
six will have to play to their base, and so
it's going to be their job to kill everything he's doing.
(17:55):
Right now. He has swept into office with a massive mandate.
CNN is reporting. This is CNN. So if they're reporting
the majority of Americans approve of mass deportation and they
want less immigration, they want less illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Guess what they want less legal immigration.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
That's your visas, that's your tourists who come and overstayed there.
Welcome Americans feel displaced, and guess what, it's not just
white Americans. It's not just white Americans. This is actually
being reported on CNN.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Deport all immigrants here illegally. I will note the ABC
News Paul ask about undocumented immigrants, so we have slightly
different questions, but these were all taken within the last
month and.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
There's real uniformity here. That's what I really think.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
You see.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You see really uniformity all immigrants who are here illegally
fifty five percent of New York Times Marquette sixty four percent,
CBS News fifty ABC News with a slightly different question
fifty six percent. So what you're seeing essentially here is
very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact,
when they're asked this one question, which I believe gets
that the underlying feelings, do in fact want to port
(19:10):
all immigrants who are here illegally.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
There's no arguing with these different numbers.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Because they're all essentially the same across four different posters.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So if they say yes today, ish, how.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Has that changed over time?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, this is where I think you get very interesting.
And so we'll take a look at that ABC News
question in particular, because you can really see that there's
been a massive shift from when Trump was first getting
into office eight years ago right to port all undocumented immigrants.
You go back to twenty fifteen, I'm gonna go to
your SETUS screen forty two percent. Hell up, go to
twenty sixteen, it was thirty six percent.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Look at where we are now.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
This was taken at the end of last year fifty
six percent. This is twenty points higher than it was
just before Trump gote to office the first time. So
feelings towards immigration in this country, feelings towards undocumented immigrants
and deporting all of them, have become considerably more hawkish,
and I think that gives Donald Trump much more leverage
to go with the American people and sort of have
these hawkish some might say harsh different rhetoric and also
(20:06):
issue based sort of going after immigrants who are here illegally.
And so I think the American people are going to
give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt to do
what he wants to do, at least if you believe
these blunk questions, including this one. How about immigration levels, Yeah, okay,
so this sort of COEs in line with that right,
which is again trying to get the underlying feelings want
immigration levels decrease. This includes legal and illegal immigration. Look
(20:27):
at this last year fifty five percent. That is the
highest level since the nine to eleven aftermath, you go
back just.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
To twenty and again legal and legal goals. So they
want people, want less people coming into the country exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They want less people coming into the country. Look at that,
that's a fourteen point rise from twenty twenty three. You
go back to twenty sixteen, when Donald Trump again was
running for president the first time, thirty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's a seventeen point rise.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So the bottom line is more folks want people who
are here illegally deported, and their overall feelings towards immigration
have become considerably more hawkish since Donald Trump was first
getting in office.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
People are tired of having their cars stolen. They're tired
of being smashed into by someone that refuses to speak
English during the exchange and give insurance because they don't
have any. They're tired of having their cars and their
homes broken into. They're tired of people they know being
(21:21):
raped or murdered by illegal aliens. They are tired of
the protests. They're tired of not being able to pass
on the road to work because these people are out
in the road protesting for more free stuff. They're tired
of the attitude. They're tired of the headache. People are
sick of it. And it's your country. You get to
(21:44):
be sick of it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know what else?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
People are tired of folks being hired, admitted, promoted, paid, more, rewarded,
honored on the basis of something other than merit hard
to believe our government HADDI programs. But those DEI programs
are going to d i E. President Trump ended the
(22:07):
de I programs in the federal government as of the
end of today, and MSNBC's Joy Read and Eli or
Elie Misstall both dee I hires, may I say, are
worried about what this means for the transgender prisoners.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm not even joking.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
He was very excited about the antiversity, equity and inclusion
initials in the federal government.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It was the impact. Yeah, so that's obviously very bad.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
It's it's particularly evil to I always think of female prisoners,
people who are incoucerated, who have you know, changed, who
have transitioned. Awording, according to this, you're going to take
trans women and put them in male prisons.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Hold on just a moment, Hold on just a moment.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
How many people do we have who've transitioned who are
in prison. It's a very small number of people who've
transitioned in this country. So how many of those people
are in prison? And what does that say about them?
You start looking at the Department of Justice Criminal data
(23:13):
and who's committing crimes. You know, they'll tell you that
transgender people are scared in this country. They're scared of
being attacked because so many transgender people are assaulted or murdered.
But when you actually look into who is committing the murder,
it is another similar person or their lover. If you
(23:38):
actually look into how many of them commit crimes, including
against each other or on their lover, those numbers are
also freakishly high.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But they're really.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Worried about DEI because a man who wants to go
to prison but not be in the men's unit, wants
to be in the women's unit. Who says I'm a girl,
And we're seeing case after case when this happens that
they go over there and then they impregnate one of
the women there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's a game. What do we think is going to
happen to them there? Yeah, that's not going to be
a good day.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
So I think that this is a thing that has
real impacts. There's also a real obvious equal protection challenge
and so again Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Will do this, he will be sued.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
This is one of the ones that could be not
completely stop delayed but there will be people who suffer.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Unconscionable pain rather Nicky Gilly and the girls all get
pretty close in time when you're listening to the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Since we were talking about DEEI hires and people put
into positions for reasons other than merit. Did you see
the mayor of Philadelphia, Charrelle Parker. She's the new mayor there. Philadelphia,
like most major cities in America, has real problems right now.
And the big reason is you've got challenges in those cities.
(25:08):
You've got serious crime, you've got legal immigration coming into there,
You've got operational deficiencies and failures. You've got people being
elected on the basis running for office on the basis
of black people vote for me, and you've got enough
blacks that are willing to do it that they can
elect a mayor. I mean, look at Karen Bass in
(25:28):
Los Angeles. When you're elected on the basis of elect
me because I'm black. You've accomplished everything you set.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Out to do on day one. So now what do
you do? Well?
Speaker 8 (25:42):
You reward the people who supported you often on that basis,
and you don't have any qualification to do anything running
a city is difficult. Municipal governments where the rubber hits
the road. Most governing that's done in this country is
not done at the federal level. It's done at the
local level. That's where you're policing your fire, your streets,
(26:08):
your water, your sanitation. I know, I was the mayor
pro tema city of Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I loved it.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
If you are a policy wonk, if you love the
concept of service delivery, it's a dream job because you get.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
To solve problems.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
It's less true at the state, but at least that's
where your big roads in those kind of projects, you
move your people. That's excited. At the federal government level,
you've got your military, but there's very little actual governing
going on. You send out Social Security checks, you send
(26:44):
some vouchers, but you're mostly just deciding which local and
state governments are going to get the big chunks to change.
But the actual doing of the work that's at the
local level. And what we have in this country tragically
is a lot of people who ran for office and
successfully one on the basis of vote for me because
(27:07):
I'm black. And we've seen this, we have seen what
has happened to major cities in America. We had, by
far the dumbest and most brash member of the United
States Congress run for mayor of the city of Houston
this past November, Sheila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
She lost, but she made it to a runoff.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
She passed sadly a few months later of pancreatic cancer.
We still have a Democrat mayor, but he's far more
conservative than she would have been, and we would have
lost firefighters and police officers and more residents. The white
flight of major cities has now been accompanied by the
(27:58):
flight of Blacks, Hispanics, families. People getting out of the cities,
going out in the suburban and if it's possible, getting
out in the rural areas. Retirees just don't stay in
cities anymore whereas they used to. Cities used to have
a lot to offer you. They had so many amenities.
(28:20):
You have parks, what have those become? Drug dealing havens,
prostitution havens. You had libraries, Well, you can read anything
you want on your own device in your hands. We
don't need city libraries anymore. It's a cost. We can't bear.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
The roads. Well.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
When you have bad mayors with bad plans, wasting money.
You don't get infrastructure replacement and repair. You get junkets
to Ghana while your city burns down. And the people
hired to do the jobs, and there are lots of
jobs at the city level, you start hiring. Let's see,
(29:04):
we need how many fat lesbian women do we have
to be our police chief, fire chief fill in the blank,
because we've got to make sure we do that. How
many black lesbian women do we have? How many of this?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
How many of this? How many of this?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
How many transgenders do we have? And that's what has
become of city government. Well, as this happens, and as
you get police chiefs who are not concerned with fighting
crime and the criminals who commit it, people say I'm
not going to stay here, so they leave. Well when
(29:42):
they leave, the people who were most likely to bring
change by voting for change are gone.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
And now you slip.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Now you see what happens, the brain drain that happens
in places like Iran, where after nineteen seventy nine, people
who ran bi businesses, people who were professors, people who
were thinkers, forward thinkers, visionary thinkers, international experiences, linguistic skills builders, doers, teachers,
(30:18):
They fled.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
A lot of them ended up in the United States.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
And it's not only that now Iran shortly after that
didn't have those people to fill the ranks.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
It's that the people.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Who were left were more likely to be tolerant of
the authoritarian theocracy that Iran became, and a once great
nation was plunged into being a very, very sad, miserable state.
Nobody's going to Iran as a tourist. And for you
(30:53):
young folks, this may surprise you. Tehran used to be
a city that people would go on vacation. For that matter,
much of the same has happened in Beirut, not to
the same extent, but similar. Beirut was the Paris of
the East. You see what's happened in countries like this.
Egypt was a country people dreamed of going to because
(31:16):
the incredible ancient history on display.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Who wants to go to Egypt today?
Speaker 8 (31:24):
You weren't an accomplished englishman if you didn't visit Egypt
fifty years ago and going back for several hundred years.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Who wants to go there today?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Who wants to visit these places that have fallen prey
to theocratic radical Islam?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Nobody nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to be
a part of that.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Great cities, great countries can fall into decay and decline
when you drive away the people with bad policies from
bad people, the builders, the creators, the doers, the parents.
They don't want to be a part of that anymore,
(32:14):
so they simply flee and go somewhere else. We've seen
it in this country. We've seen it around the world.
We've seen nations fall into disrepair. And it's tragic, it
really is. It's tragic to watch. Look at what's happened
in South Africa. Who wants to visit South Africa today?
Who wants to go on safari in South Africa today?
(32:35):
Nobody's going to Djibouti. And by the way, it's also
true in London, at Paris, it's true in several of
the great cities of Germany.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It's becoming true in Italy.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
And by the way, it's the same common denominator of
people with the same values and the same behaviors.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And once you achieve a certain.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Critical mass of those people in your city, in your country,
the results are predictable. Predictable. Now that that might hurt
some people's feelings, so be it, so.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Be it
Speaker 12 (33:36):
H
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
In the name of our God, I ask you to
have mercy upon the people in our country. We're scared though.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston, who last
month was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death aft
to walk into the convenience sourist a block away from
her house. Her body was dumped near the side of
the road in a shallow creek, found by some onlookers
who couldn't believe what they had witnessed. Charged with Joscelyn's
(00:46):
heinous murder. Or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who came
across our border were in custody and were then released
into the country by this horrible, horrible administration that we.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Have right now.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Wants asked, we have mercy, mister President, on those in
our communities whose children fear that their parents will be
taken away.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families go home?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Of course, yes, families can be deported together.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Want May God grant us the strength and courage to
honor the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister,
Rachel Maron. Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom
of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered
while out on her runs. She wanted to keep herself
in good shape. It was very important she was murdered.
The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador
(02:12):
before he was let into America by the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
This White House let.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Them in.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Speak the truth to one another, in love and walcomely
with each other and our God to the mains.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Of the illegal aims that Joe Biden's released in our
country and violation of federal law. You better start packing
now because you're going home.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Just warning.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
The official Twitter feed of the White House posted vote.
In the last twenty four hours, ICE arrested over three
hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of them were murderers,
some of them were rapists, some of them raped a child.
(03:16):
ICE is performing excellent right now out in the field,
and they're going to continue every day. That was a
quotation attributed to Tom Homan. The borders are He was
on CNN with Dana Bash when he told her that
ICE will enforce immigration laws.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
What is happening as we speak, is limited to those
with criminal records.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
That's a target of this operation. Like I said many times,
in places like sanctuary cities, where we can't arrest a
bad person in the jail, we would like to have
access to the jail to arrest the criminal alien in
the safety and security of the county jail, which is
safer for the community, safer for the officers for the alien.
But when you release a public safety threat of sanctuary
jail and won't give us access to him, that means
(04:06):
we got to go to the neighborhood and find him,
and we will find him. But when we find him,
he may be with others. Others that don't have a
criminal conviction are in the country legally, they will be
arrested too, because we're not going to struck. And this
is the difference between the last administration and this administration.
ICE is going to force the immigration law. There's nothing
in the I in a immigration nationality I says you
got to be convicted of a serious crime in order
(04:28):
to be removed from this country. So there's going to
be more collabal ar rest in Santory cities could because
they forced us to go in the community and find
and find the guy we're looking for.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying,
because at first she said that the first targets are
those with criminal records, But you are also saying that
those who are undocumented in the US also who don't
have criminal records, people who are working in their communities,
maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could
(04:59):
be swept up with today as well.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
What I'm telling you is, when we go find that
priority tiger, which is a criminal alien, if he's were
with the others in the United States illegally, we're going
to take enforcement action against them. We're going to forced
immigration law.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
What happens then, so the ICE officers gets an individual
or a set of individuals and apprehends them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What next?
Speaker 9 (05:26):
What do these ICE officers do with them? Because in
some cases you know this far better than I, they
haven't been deported in the past because their country of
origin won't take them.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Well, what happens after the rest they're taken into an
ICE office and their process and put in detention. While
they're in an attention, ICE officers work on travel documents.
The whost countries since travel documents saying yeah, this is
our citizen, this is our national then we make flightor
race risks. So they could be an attention from a
few days for a few weeks until that remove was
(05:59):
made happen.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
What if the host country doesn't want them, as has
happened in the recent past.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
We have various plans. We have various plans. Other countries
are willing to take them. We have Thursday country movals,
So that's something we're working through. But I think you're
going to see less of the reel countries. Countries won't
take their citizens back under this president. This president has
vowed that these countries will take them back. So I'll
leave that up to the White House, but there will
be negotiations with those countries were pushing back in recul citency,
(06:28):
and they.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Will be removed.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Let me, in the words of Tom Homan talking on
Fox News, let him share with you what has happened
since they shut down the CBP APP that was enabling
illegal aliens to get into our country and how the
numbers have dropped dramatically.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Listen to this.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Absolutely look the greatest president in my lifetime. He's back
because in two days last twenty four hours. Total apprehensions
on the southwest border one hundred and sixty six. Compare
that to the ten of twelve thousand Biden had at
one time cv CVP one.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Release that for a.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Second zero when he says, compare that to the ten
to twelve thousand Biden had at one time. That's ten
to twelve thousand apprehensions at the border per day. I
don't want you to think that was a year or
even a month. That is per day, that is three
(07:29):
hundred and sixty thousand a month. That is over four
million a year. That's the apprehensions folks. That's the folks
using the app showed up and going no speaking English,
y'all got some free stuff for me, and our government
will say absolutely, We'll kick the veterans out of these apartments.
(07:53):
We'll kick the We've just built this gymnasium in the
community for this group of retirees. We'll kick them out.
We got some folks living over here in public housing.
Will kick them out because we want you here. You
are part of the great replacement to replace the Americans
(08:14):
who aren't voting for our socialist agenda. You're the foot soldier.
Of course, we'll accommodate you. Well, no more. This is
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It is very important to the left the hold.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
That illegal aliens continue to stream into this country. And
you can keep telling them, Yeah, but they're murdering our people,
they're raping people, they're burgling our homes.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
The story broke.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Today they caught some guys who were Chilean nationals in
this country illegally. While Joe Burrows LSU, I mean, arguably
the greatest football season for a quarterback of all time.
No less than Johnny Manziel says that, and the stats
don't lie. Joe Burrows goes from LSU, where he wins
(09:07):
the national championship, and Cincinnati is lucky enough to get him.
He goes to the Bengals. Well, these illegal aliens. Is
how sophisticated these guys are. They know when he's playing
a game, including when he's out of town while the
game is going on, they break into his home and
(09:30):
just for fun, in addition to the other things they steal,
they steal his jerseys, his Bengals gear, his LSU gear.
We don't need these people, we don't want them. Little
girl named Joscelyn Nongerae was tied up, tortured, raped over
(09:57):
the course of several hours, tortured some more, killed, and
then thrown into a gully.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Like she was trash.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
We're prosecuting those two illegal aliens in this country, in
this state of Texas, death penalty, and not soon enough,
not soon enough.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But these cases aren't random anymore. That's just it. They're
all over the country.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
We've had illegal aliens setting fires in Los Angeles in
the midst of all the fires. By the way, San
Clemente now the latest to have to have fires spreading
through there.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They set fires.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
They've got equipment to see where the cops and the
firefighters are, so before the cops and firefighters can get
in there, the people evacuate their home without taking any precautions.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
They're just trying to save their lives.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
They grab their pets and get out, and as they're
running out the front door, the illegals are running in
the back to steal all their stuff. These aren't ag
workers anymore, folks. These are sophisticated crime syndicates, including the cartels.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We'll get to that in a moment.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
WUSA nine, a television station in Washington, DC, had an
immigration attorney on to help advise illegal aliens how to
avoid law enforcement and detainment. They are assisting people in
breaking the law.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Listen to this, what advice immediate advice can you give
them to kind of help with the fear and to
help give them some tools for here's what I can
do if I'm approached. Absolutely, one of the very first
things that we educate people is what are your rights
when you are encountering an ice agent or even just
law enforcement. Most of the time when people encounter or
(12:00):
ice agents, it's usually seventy to seventy five percent of
immigration arrests happen after a law enforcement arrest. So the
most average immigrant in the United States is not out
committing crimes, but if they were in a collateral situation
at the wrong place at the wrong time, we usually
advise them to know whether it to identify. At least
(12:20):
if there is a judicial warrant that is presented that
is signed by a judge, issued in a state court
or a federal district court that basically gives federal agents
the authority whether they consent or not to enter the
United States. That document can be slipped under the door,
pressed against the window if it's an administrative document that
says Department of Homeland Security on it, they can say
(12:42):
I do not consent to you entering my home. They
can say I would like to speak to an attorney.
There's a lot of things that we teach and share
with the community so that they can best protect themselves
and maintain family unity. If there is an unfortunate situation
where an arrest does happen, we make ourselves available immediately
to help out.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke with Tucker Carlson, stating
that he believes he was targeted by Biden's Department of
Justice in retaliation for his criticism of illegal immigration. And
I will remind you how we arrived at that point.
Eric Adams was all for the sanctuary city crap. Now
he's a former cop. He knew it was a bad thing,
(13:24):
but he played along because the Democrats were his supporters.
And then he saw that the government was dumping illegal
aliens in New York in massive numbers. It was causing crimes,
it was causing his budget to burst at the seams.
It was unmanageable, and he spoke out about it and
(13:45):
that that will not be tolerated.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
Because you complained about allowing ten hundreds of thousands of
illegals from foreign nationals who have no right to be
here to come to your city and you have to
pay for it, and you complained.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Diamond was punishment for complaining.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
So that is that is clearly my belief, and based
on several aspects of it that I can't go into detail,
but there are other aspects of it that shows me that,
you know, I was targeted because of that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So if we could just walk through and leave out
the parts.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
You can't talk about, of course, but this happens at
the beginning of the Biden administration, which is close to
the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All these foreig nationals start showing up in New York.
They have no money, they have no jobs, they have no.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Place to stay, and you have to deal with them,
and the taxpayers here have to deal with them.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So you go to Washington. What were those meetings like,
sharing with them that this was the problem, sharing what
did you speak to?
Speaker 7 (14:41):
I smoke with Julie Shabez is one of the personnel,
Perez another personnel.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I spoke with the president himself.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I spoke with the president first then the President came
here to New York City, the governor and I sat
down went with the President. I said, mister President, I'm
not sure what they're telling you about this problem, but
this is a terrible problem that's planning out on the
ground that we need to fix our border and we
need to just stop allowing people to come into the
(15:12):
country with no destiny.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
We don't know what we're.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Doing with them.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And they were tucking.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
There was some that were coming here that were almost
six months to a year, in some cases two years
without any work authorization, Like, what do you do with
someone that cannot provide for themselves for that long period
of time?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, what do you do? We We had to house them.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
We had to feed, clothes, house, educate forty thousand children,
hold them into a shelter system, the complete package of
what you would do for an adult that can't take
care of themselves.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
And so you tell the President and his aids this,
and what do they say.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Basically, be a good Democrat, Eric, be a good Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That was the basic overall theme.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
You know.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
One of his aides told me that listen, this is
like a goldstone, it'll pass.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's like a Gallstone. It'll pass. Yes, it'll hurt now,
but it'll pass. Well, you pee it out, then what
do you have to.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Me?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Eric Adams, the former mayor of New York sound like
Bis Marquis. You you got one the listen, come back
with it and tell me side by.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Side it happens.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
The Michael Varry Show press another personnel. I spoke with
the president himselves. I spoke with the president first. Then
the President came here to New York City, the governor
and I sat down, went to the President and I said,
mister President, I'm not sure what they're telling you about
this problem, but this this is a terrible problem that's
playing out on the ground that we need to fix
(16:48):
out borders and we need to just stop allowing people
to come into the country.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
With no destiny. We don't know what we're doing with them,
and they were sucking.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
There was some that were coming here that were almost
six months, two years.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
You got what I need, But you see, I got
Eric Adams bismarket.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's close enough.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
The reason Trump is pushing the deportations and frankly all
of his agenda, the reason he's not waiting one minute
for new keys to the bathroom till he starts getting busy.
Reason he's not settling in and just doing ceremonial stuff
is he understands the time is nigh. He understands there
(17:33):
won't be long to get this done. We'll have we'll
have midterm elections in November of twenty six. It's twenty
one months from now, and Democrats for all of twenty
six will have to play to their base, and so
it's going to be their job to kill everything he's doing.
(17:55):
Right now. He has swept into office with a massive mandate.
CNN is reporting. This is CNN. So if they're reporting
the majority of Americans approve of mass deportation and they
want less immigration, they want less illegal immigration.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Guess what they want less legal immigration.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
That's your visas, that's your tourists who come and overstayed there.
Welcome Americans feel displaced, and guess what, it's not just
white Americans. It's not just white Americans. This is actually
being reported on CNN.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Deport all immigrants here illegally. I will note the ABC
News Paul ask about undocumented immigrants, so we have slightly
different questions, but these were all taken within the last
month and.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
There's real uniformity here. That's what I really think.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
You see.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You see really uniformity all immigrants who are here illegally
fifty five percent of New York Times Marquette sixty four percent,
CBS News fifty ABC News with a slightly different question
fifty six percent. So what you're seeing essentially here is
very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact,
when they're asked this one question, which I believe gets
that the underlying feelings, do in fact want to port
(19:10):
all immigrants who are here illegally.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
There's no arguing with these different numbers.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Because they're all essentially the same across four different posters.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So if they say yes today, ish, how.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Has that changed over time?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, this is where I think you get very interesting.
And so we'll take a look at that ABC News
question in particular, because you can really see that there's
been a massive shift from when Trump was first getting
into office eight years ago right to port all undocumented immigrants.
You go back to twenty fifteen, I'm gonna go to
your SETUS screen forty two percent. Hell up, go to
twenty sixteen, it was thirty six percent.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Look at where we are now.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
This was taken at the end of last year fifty
six percent. This is twenty points higher than it was
just before Trump gote to office the first time. So
feelings towards immigration in this country, feelings towards undocumented immigrants
and deporting all of them, have become considerably more hawkish,
and I think that gives Donald Trump much more leverage
to go with the American people and sort of have
these hawkish some might say harsh different rhetoric and also
(20:06):
issue based sort of going after immigrants who are here illegally.
And so I think the American people are going to
give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt to do
what he wants to do, at least if you believe
these blunk questions, including this one. How about immigration levels, Yeah, okay,
so this sort of COEs in line with that right,
which is again trying to get the underlying feelings want
immigration levels decrease. This includes legal and illegal immigration. Look
(20:27):
at this last year fifty five percent. That is the
highest level since the nine to eleven aftermath, you go
back just.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
To twenty and again legal and legal goals. So they
want people, want less people coming into the country exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
They want less people coming into the country. Look at that,
that's a fourteen point rise from twenty twenty three. You
go back to twenty sixteen, when Donald Trump again was
running for president the first time, thirty eight percent.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's a seventeen point rise.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So the bottom line is more folks want people who
are here illegally deported, and their overall feelings towards immigration
have become considerably more hawkish since Donald Trump was first
getting in office.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
People are tired of having their cars stolen. They're tired
of being smashed into by someone that refuses to speak
English during the exchange and give insurance because they don't
have any. They're tired of having their cars and their
homes broken into. They're tired of people they know being
(21:21):
raped or murdered by illegal aliens. They are tired of
the protests. They're tired of not being able to pass
on the road to work because these people are out
in the road protesting for more free stuff. They're tired
of the attitude. They're tired of the headache. People are
sick of it. And it's your country. You get to
(21:44):
be sick of it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know what else?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
People are tired of folks being hired, admitted, promoted, paid, more, rewarded,
honored on the basis of something other than merit hard
to believe our government HADDI programs. But those DEI programs
are going to d i E. President Trump ended the
(22:07):
de I programs in the federal government as of the
end of today, and MSNBC's Joy Read and Eli or
Elie Misstall both dee I hires, may I say, are
worried about what this means for the transgender prisoners.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I'm not even joking.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
He was very excited about the antiversity, equity and inclusion
initials in the federal government.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It was the impact. Yeah, so that's obviously very bad.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
It's it's particularly evil to I always think of female prisoners,
people who are incoucerated, who have you know, changed, who
have transitioned. Awording, according to this, you're going to take
trans women and put them in male prisons.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Hold on just a moment, Hold on just a moment.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
How many people do we have who've transitioned who are
in prison. It's a very small number of people who've
transitioned in this country. So how many of those people
are in prison? And what does that say about them?
You start looking at the Department of Justice Criminal data
(23:13):
and who's committing crimes. You know, they'll tell you that
transgender people are scared in this country. They're scared of
being attacked because so many transgender people are assaulted or murdered.
But when you actually look into who is committing the murder,
it is another similar person or their lover. If you
(23:38):
actually look into how many of them commit crimes, including
against each other or on their lover, those numbers are
also freakishly high.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But they're really.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Worried about DEI because a man who wants to go
to prison but not be in the men's unit, wants
to be in the women's unit. Who says I'm a girl,
And we're seeing case after case when this happens that
they go over there and then they impregnate one of
the women there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's a game. What do we think is going to
happen to them there? Yeah, that's not going to be
a good day.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
So I think that this is a thing that has
real impacts. There's also a real obvious equal protection challenge
and so again Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Will do this, he will be sued.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
This is one of the ones that could be not
completely stop delayed but there will be people who suffer.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Unconscionable pain rather Nicky Gilly and the girls all get
pretty close in time when you're listening to the Michael
Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Since we were talking about DEEI hires and people put
into positions for reasons other than merit. Did you see
the mayor of Philadelphia, Charrelle Parker. She's the new mayor there. Philadelphia,
like most major cities in America, has real problems right now.
And the big reason is you've got challenges in those cities.
(25:08):
You've got serious crime, you've got legal immigration coming into there,
You've got operational deficiencies and failures. You've got people being
elected on the basis running for office on the basis
of black people vote for me, and you've got enough
blacks that are willing to do it that they can
elect a mayor. I mean, look at Karen Bass in
(25:28):
Los Angeles. When you're elected on the basis of elect
me because I'm black. You've accomplished everything you set.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Out to do on day one. So now what do
you do? Well?
Speaker 8 (25:42):
You reward the people who supported you often on that basis,
and you don't have any qualification to do anything running
a city is difficult. Municipal governments where the rubber hits
the road. Most governing that's done in this country is
not done at the federal level. It's done at the
local level. That's where you're policing your fire, your streets,
(26:08):
your water, your sanitation. I know, I was the mayor
pro tema city of Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I loved it.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
If you are a policy wonk, if you love the
concept of service delivery, it's a dream job because you get.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
To solve problems.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
It's less true at the state, but at least that's
where your big roads in those kind of projects, you
move your people. That's excited. At the federal government level,
you've got your military, but there's very little actual governing
going on. You send out Social Security checks, you send
(26:44):
some vouchers, but you're mostly just deciding which local and
state governments are going to get the big chunks to change.
But the actual doing of the work that's at the
local level. And what we have in this country tragically
is a lot of people who ran for office and
successfully one on the basis of vote for me because
(27:07):
I'm black. And we've seen this, we have seen what
has happened to major cities in America. We had, by
far the dumbest and most brash member of the United
States Congress run for mayor of the city of Houston
this past November, Sheila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
She lost, but she made it to a runoff.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
She passed sadly a few months later of pancreatic cancer.
We still have a Democrat mayor, but he's far more
conservative than she would have been, and we would have
lost firefighters and police officers and more residents. The white
flight of major cities has now been accompanied by the
(27:58):
flight of Blacks, Hispanics, families. People getting out of the cities,
going out in the suburban and if it's possible, getting
out in the rural areas. Retirees just don't stay in
cities anymore whereas they used to. Cities used to have
a lot to offer you. They had so many amenities.
(28:20):
You have parks, what have those become? Drug dealing havens,
prostitution havens. You had libraries, Well, you can read anything
you want on your own device in your hands. We
don't need city libraries anymore. It's a cost. We can't bear.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
The roads. Well.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
When you have bad mayors with bad plans, wasting money.
You don't get infrastructure replacement and repair. You get junkets
to Ghana while your city burns down. And the people
hired to do the jobs, and there are lots of
jobs at the city level, you start hiring. Let's see,
(29:04):
we need how many fat lesbian women do we have
to be our police chief, fire chief fill in the blank,
because we've got to make sure we do that. How
many black lesbian women do we have? How many of this?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
How many of this? How many of this?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
How many transgenders do we have? And that's what has
become of city government. Well, as this happens, and as
you get police chiefs who are not concerned with fighting
crime and the criminals who commit it, people say I'm
not going to stay here, so they leave. Well when
(29:42):
they leave, the people who were most likely to bring
change by voting for change are gone.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
And now you slip.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Now you see what happens, the brain drain that happens
in places like Iran, where after nineteen seventy nine, people
who ran bi businesses, people who were professors, people who
were thinkers, forward thinkers, visionary thinkers, international experiences, linguistic skills builders, doers, teachers,
(30:18):
They fled.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
A lot of them ended up in the United States.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
And it's not only that now Iran shortly after that
didn't have those people to fill the ranks.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
It's that the people.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Who were left were more likely to be tolerant of
the authoritarian theocracy that Iran became, and a once great
nation was plunged into being a very, very sad, miserable state.
Nobody's going to Iran as a tourist. And for you
(30:53):
young folks, this may surprise you. Tehran used to be
a city that people would go on vacation. For that matter,
much of the same has happened in Beirut, not to
the same extent, but similar. Beirut was the Paris of
the East. You see what's happened in countries like this.
Egypt was a country people dreamed of going to because
(31:16):
the incredible ancient history on display.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Who wants to go to Egypt today?
Speaker 8 (31:24):
You weren't an accomplished englishman if you didn't visit Egypt
fifty years ago and going back for several hundred years.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Who wants to go there today?
Speaker 8 (31:37):
Who wants to visit these places that have fallen prey
to theocratic radical Islam?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Nobody nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to be
a part of that.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Great cities, great countries can fall into decay and decline
when you drive away the people with bad policies from
bad people, the builders, the creators, the doers, the parents.
They don't want to be a part of that anymore,
(32:14):
so they simply flee and go somewhere else. We've seen
it in this country. We've seen it around the world.
We've seen nations fall into disrepair. And it's tragic, it
really is. It's tragic to watch. Look at what's happened
in South Africa. Who wants to visit South Africa today?
Who wants to go on safari in South Africa today?
(32:35):
Nobody's going to Djibouti. And by the way, it's also
true in London, at Paris, it's true in several of
the great cities of Germany.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It's becoming true in Italy.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
And by the way, it's the same common denominator of
people with the same values and the same behaviors.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And once you achieve a certain.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Critical mass of those people in your city, in your country,
the results are predictable. Predictable. Now that that might hurt
some people's feelings, so be it, so.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Be it
Speaker 12 (33:36):
