Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Very Show is on the air. Thanks for joining us.
We begin tonight with Musk and big Balls, Big Balls,
Big Balls, big.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Balls who work for Elon mus so called Department of
Government Efficiency doge in one.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Case of the big Balls Kid, a literal teenager Big
Balls online big Balls here.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
That Katy's talking about a nineteen year old that goes
by the username big ball.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
So that would be one way that we could refer
to him.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Pool among us doesn't feel better about.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Big Balls, Big Balls, Big Balls. Government has wasted the
only three trillion dollars in taxpayer.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
One and seventy billion dollars at improper payments, left two and.

Speaker 6 (00:55):
Forty seven billion billions blown on improper payment. It is
people that should not have received the other payments payments
to the wrongly dead. People received more than five hundred
and thirty million dollars last year in pension payments. Medicare
paying forty seven billion dollars.

Speaker 7 (01:11):
One hundreds of billions of dollars millions.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
That's the way it is.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
Decad and properly issuing eighty one billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Just take one hundred and forty four million, that's.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
Money and seven hundred and sixty four billion.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Under three years of the Biden administrations.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Improper payments have piled up to a total of two
point eight trillion.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
Dollars em billion dollars per month, or enough to pay
for five years of US four and aid to all countries.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And child across the country. It was eight hundred and
fifty dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Who is receiving these payments, both some instances.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Dead people's money, phone free money. For the first time
in the over fifty years since the Super Bowl has
been played, the sitting president of the United States attended

(02:15):
the game in person. That would be history.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
History already in the building tonight, as President Donald Trump
becomes the first sitting.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
US president ever to attend a Super Bowl game. Ride
and while Taylor Swift's image was broadcasted on was broadcast
on the big screen, and the crowd booed. When it
turned to our president, a raucous roar overtook the stadium,

(02:49):
a roar of approval and applause and gratefulness from the nation.
Kansas City Chief Chris Jones him across the field to
share the President's hand. Now, I wouldn't want this guy
to try to attack the president because the Secret Service
would be hard pressed to stop him. Offensive lines can't

(03:11):
seem to that's a big, tough guy. The vibe has changed,
the mood has changed. But there's something that happened yesterday
that you may not even be aware of, because in
randomly asking people, I've noticed many people weren't. And that's
a good thing. Did you know that during the halftime

(03:33):
show that a man ran out all the way up
to the stage with a Palestinian flag? Did you know
that One of the things the NFL and professional sports
have worked very hard to do is to reduce the

(03:59):
allure for people who do these sorts of things to
do them by no longer broadcasting because, let's be honest,
some dude butt naked streets across the field. It's funny,
and it's funny to watch the security guards try to
chase him and he's ducking in job until he finally
just runs out of gas and rolls over and they

(04:19):
hauled him out of there, and you know, you can
tell this is the highlight of his life that he's
done this. He's a thrill seeker. But we're talking about
a place where the president of the United States was present.
How'd this guy get out on the field? Now, well, disclosure,
the president was not on the field when this man

(04:40):
did this. But it brings up a very important question
and a point I'd like to make about consequences. As
a nation, we are struggling and we have very different
views of consequences. If this man had done this in say,

(05:01):
Saudi Arabia, where he knew he'd be yanked from the
field and his head chopped off for all the crowd
to cheer, you think he still would have done it.
I'm not suggesting we start having public executions, but come
to think of it, this man knew there will be

(05:21):
no real consequences for him doing that, and there won't.
This is the reason criminals commit crimes, because they know
they'll be released the minute it happens. This is the
reason men batter wives. This is the reason government employees

(05:42):
commit fraud. Consequences. I grew up in a household where
I am now grateful to say there were consequences. There
was discipline, We understood the consequences of actions, and for

(06:04):
every bad thing that befell me, my parents viewed that
as an opportunity to learn. Okay, so you took the
minibike out from the shed when you weren't supposed to,
and you're too young to ride it, and there was
nobody there to help you, and you couldn't touch the

(06:27):
ground on either side while you were sitting on it,
and so you went riding while you didn't think anybody
would notice, and you plowed into the little barbecue pit,
and you got barbecue sauce all over you. Of course,
my mother comes running out and the barbecue sauce looks
like blood, and she's screeching because surely I'm dead. What'd

(06:48):
you learn from that? Well, first of all, you get
in your butt whipped. Secondly, what did you learn from that?

Speaker 8 (06:54):
That?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
The reason we prohibited you from riding it was not
because we're mean or cruel or draw some sort of
joy from that, but because you're not ready to write
it yet. You're not tall enough and big enough to
handle it. But I had learned the hard way, didn't I?
And I did Consequences. The reason we're going to talk

(07:19):
about that they're going to do everything they can to
stop dose from continuing is this will exposet corruption and fraud,
and there can be no consequences Jeffrey Epstein ended up dead,
however you think he got there. But what were the

(07:40):
consequences for the rich American men who had sex with
underage children? What consequences have there been? Dick Durbin has
prevented the exposure of the list. Why are we hiding
the list of those who committed these crimes because there

(08:01):
can't be any consequences. Why is sorows as the district
attorney spending money buying district attorneys in major cities where
forty of violent crimes are happening are in Soros districts
where he's got the district attorney. Because without consequences, you
have chaos and mayhem and collapse, and that's what they intended.

(08:26):
This is the Michael Berry Show. White House Deputy Chief
of Staff Stephen Millard is one of the guys that
President Trump relies on. Unquestioningly, Trump two point zero is
so much better. And he has said, he's made several
references to this already in interviews, that he trusted the

(08:48):
wrong people the first time. But I would say this,
and I'm not a Trump apologist, he trusted the wrong
people for the right reasons. Trump charms people, and he
believed that he could fix our government by charming people

(09:09):
who were entrenched to do the right thing. It turned
out to be an error. But if you've never been
a leader, if you've never been the one that had
to make the call at fourth and one, and all
you've ever done is criticize whichever choice they make, it's
hard to understand how he could make that mistake. But

(09:29):
it's completely understandable. He didn't understand where the bodies were buried,
he didn't understand how money got transferred, how decisions were made.
He had to rely on some people who understood the
system itself, and in so doing, those people betrayed him.
Had they not betrayed him, all would have been well,

(09:49):
but they did. He's not made that mistake this time.
He has brought in people from the outside, the Elon Musks,
heg Seth's. The Cash betails. Although Cash has a lot
of experience, people that he trusts implicitly, because for instance,

(10:11):
Fox News reporting over the weekend that the FBI is
who is leaking to ice, sorry, who is leaking where
the ice raids are coming. If that happens, those people
need to be more than fired. They need to be prosecuted,
because that's aiding in a betting. Those people need to

(10:31):
be punished and you've got to make an example of them.
But I want to go back to why I brought
all this up. Stephen Miller is one of the guys
who you don't see his face a lot, but he
is someone that Trump relies on a great deal. He's

(10:52):
extraordinarily sharp, and he has a deeper grasp on policy
than all most anyone. So he was interviewed and here
he is talking about USAID and explaining that this wasn't
money for Third World children who were starving. This was

(11:15):
a slush fund. This was how they powered it. And
you know, you think about this. If you cut off
the spigot of revenue to the cartels, you will end
the cartels. When they cut off the spigot to the mafia,
it was a It knocked them to their knees. When

(11:37):
you take the money away from Iran to fund their
international terrorism, which includes humas, you weaken them incredibly. So
USAID morphed into being an opportunity to fund everything they

(11:59):
wanted to grab hold of power and retain it now
to the extent they can get rich in the process.
That's also good. But the power that they keep accreeding
is what they use to gain more power and more money.
And this was hiding in plain sight. No one was

(12:19):
auditing this. This is White House Deputy Chief of Staff
Stephen Miller, who has the keenest understanding of what was happening.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Donald Trump is engaging in the most important restoration of
democracy in over a century by saying that we are
going to restore power to the people through their elected
president and his appointed officers. That is the only way
we can have true democracy in this country. You elect
a president, he appoints the staff. The staff transparently carries

(12:50):
out his orders on behalf of the whole nation. But
this nonsense, where we have rogue, unelected, unaccountable, and previously
unfiable bureaucrats who do whatever the hell they want with
no one telling them and no one controlling them.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're not going to let that happen anymore.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
We're going to have a democracy, and we're going to
have an executive branch that serves the American people, that
answers to the American people, and that answers the will
of the American voter.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
George Soros's prosecutor as were reportedly getting money. Did anybody
really understand where this money from USAID was going, Stevid?
Was this being just a slush fund for the Democrats'
favorite causes like sex change operations in Guatemala.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, the USAID was a slush fund first of all,
for left wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries
around the world, diversity equit inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal,
climate scams, and every other lunatic left wing project that
is bankrupting this country. But even beyond that, it was

(13:55):
funding an army of left wing activists, these NGOs, non
government organizations NGOs. They get billions and billions of dollars
and they use that money to then infiltrate corporate America,
to that infiltrate the public sector to then fresettle. For example,
a taxpayer spends millions of illegal aliens into this country

(14:17):
to drive racist equity policies, to drive radical left gender policies.
And so what we've learned is that this mammoth left
wing power structure plus left wing media wasn't organic, it
wasn't created naturally. It was funded by taxpayer dollars. And
that is why they are screaming and screeching so loud.

(14:37):
Now it's because President Trump is cutting off the slush
fund to the organizations that hate and hurt America.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I remember when Michael Phelps was that his peak as
a swimmer, and I read about his routine and the
level of commitment and focus he had on preparing his
body in his mind form at the highest level, and
as a result, he was the greatest at what he did.
Tom Brady never took a break from the diet and

(15:09):
training and wellness that went into making him the goat.
It was year round, the singularity of focus and purpose.
And you go back to Terry Bradshaw, for instance, who
showed up overweight, you know, didn't take care of himself,

(15:31):
or you see the picture of Lenny Dawson smoking a
heater at halftime. That Brady took the game to a
new level with the singularity of purpose with focus. When
you understand that the Democrats are and the people the

(15:53):
Soros is, the people who run these these sorts of things,
they're thinking about this twenty four to seven, you s
a I. D. Was a sophisticated criminal organization. They were
they knew where the big money was and they took
that big money and they just started buying people who

(16:13):
could help them. And when you when you spend money
with those people, you own those people. This is elaborate
and to be to be dismantling it a few days
into the Trump presidency is incredible show. If you knew
to the show, I'll tell you the experience I had

(16:35):
that informs a lot of my opinions about government. For
six years, I served as the mayor pro tem at
the City of Houston, third largest city, third fourth largest
city in the country, and one of the things I
noticed was that there were certain people in local government

(16:56):
who spent all their time trying to figure out, we
got this multi billion dollar budget, and we're not personally rich.
How can we take this big budget that the taxpayers
pay their taxes on were cops and firefighters and roads
and sewage and water. How can we get some of

(17:16):
that for ourselves. So what they would do is they
would partner up with service providers. They would float bonds
to build new stuff. Not because the new stuff needed
to be built stadiums or whatever else, but because they
could choose who did the legal work on the bond finance,

(17:38):
who did the architecture on the new building, who did
the engineering on the new building, who did the surveying,
which you wouldn't believe big money, So they would then
pick who the person was who did all of those things.
And we're talking about millions of dollars for the service providers.
And you could see that the service providers were providing

(17:58):
kickbacks of one way or another, at a minimum for
campaign contributions, but arguably for far more than that. And
there are lots of ways that this lovey dovey goes
back and forth. You will notice that the mayors and
people like that over the years that their children go
to work for people who have big city contracts. You

(18:19):
will notice that their children end up getting the credit
for bringing deals in to different places. They become the
government relations person for this or that company. You will
find you will notice that their spouse ends up going
to work for these sorts of things, which is what
we have in Harris County right now. And you notice
that what they're doing is just looking for ways big

(18:41):
pockets of government money and figuring out, look, if this,
if this big hose is shooting out water, how can
I get over and sip a little for myself. How
can I carve out a little for myself because a
million here, a millionaire, that's real money, for instance? How
how did it end up becoming the case that Samantha Power,

(19:04):
the woman who was head of USAID, supposedly when she
took over she was worth seven million dollars and now
three years later she's worth thirty million dollars. How on
earth did she make that kind of money on a
salary of less than two hundred thousand dollars a year.

(19:28):
There's got to be something going on. It is being
reported that her net worth was six point seven million dollars.
Her salary is one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. So
for three years she increased her net worth twenty three
point three million dollars. How on earth did she do that? Legally?

(19:52):
This is what the financial reporting is supposed to be.
Or for people in public office, it's no crime to
make money as of right now, it's no crime for
members of Congress to trade stocks, but that don't want
you to know what their trading stocks are. It's not
very hard. In fact, all of these schemes could be ended.

(20:15):
All we have to do is say, if you're a
member of Congress. You cannot get paid an outside fee period.
End of story. You cannot. You cannot give speeches for money,
you cannot write books for money. You cannot trade stocks
for money. You have to put your your your money
in a blind trust and every trade you make would

(20:36):
be open to the public in a transparent exchange. So
if you're because we're not going to keep your spouse
from making money. But look, if your spouse all of
a sudden starts trading stocks after you get into Congress
and make it a Nancy Pelosi level return, then we
get to ask questions about that. It's that the transparency

(20:57):
allows the research to be done. Now, the trade off
I would make, and this is where I argue with people,
is let's pay them half a million dollars a year
and be going, oh on it. You could understand something.
They're going to make them half a million dollars a
year or more one way or another. Why not pay them.
It's a drop in the bucket. It's a few million dollars.

(21:19):
You got four hundred and thirty five of them, plus
another hundred senators. You got a couple hundred thousand dollars.
That's millions of dollars, not that many million, And in exchange,
you cut out all of the deals they do that
they cut to get paid money. You do realize that
members of Congress will sell you down the river for

(21:41):
one hundred million dollars if they can keep twenty five
thousand for themselves. That's how this game works. You would
save billions and billions of dollars. But back to the point.
I saw at the city of Houston and at Harris County,
and I continue to see to this day, and I
see it in state governments and in Congress. But at
the local level you can see it more easily because

(22:04):
you can see the actual people doing it. They're not
hiding in a federal building. You see that these people.
If something needs to be done, a task needs to
be done, they try to figure out, Okay, how can
I make some money off using the government funds to
pay for the task that needs to be done. For example,
after the wildfires in Los Angeles, the Mayor of Los Angeles,

(22:27):
Karen Bass, appointed and LA wildfire recoveries are and she
tried to pay him five hundred thousand dollars for ninety
days of work. Angelino's lost their mind. She had another
official who was set to be paid two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for ninety days of work. These are

(22:49):
insane amounts of money. It's absurd. City Council Monica Rodriguez
said this is obscene. Steve, who resides in a temporary
discord to ABC seven in Los Angeles, who resides in
a temporary apartment in Marina del Rey after his home
was destroyed in the Palisades fire, said that this compensation

(23:09):
is a money grab, adding that the city is experiencing
a crisis of leadership. I'd be interested to know if
he voted for Karen Bass. I find it interesting how
many people have all of a sudden said I regret
voting for Karen Bass. Really, because Karen Bass has always
been Karen Bass. You're the only one that has supposedly changed.

(23:32):
People tell me they regret voting for Joe Biden. Why Joe,
But to quote Danny Green, Joe Biden is who we
thought he was, exactly who we thought he was. Joe
Biden didn't change. Maybe you did. Maybe you changed when
these people when you finally got embarrassed, Or did you

(23:54):
vote for her because she's a black woman and you
felt good about it, and now you got all this
scandal on your hands. Or is this some more that
you realized, Oh my vote actually matters. I see this
happen with small business owners all the time, dessay. I
got this communist working for me, and she's making everybody
in the office crazy. It's always a woman. She's making
everybody in the office crazy. She's nuts, she doesn't want

(24:17):
us to do this, and she's mad at the men,
and she accuses it. Did you have any indication of
this before you brought her in? Did you do any
Did you even look at her social media post? Because
I noticed she has blue hair. There's your red flag.
Blue hair is your red flag? Bothe through the nose,
red flag, guitars, cigars, and a few thoughts from bizarre Michael.

(24:46):
There was a wonderful piece last week that I read
on the air about President Trump's strategy to flood the zone,
to confuse and straight to the left, sort of like
a Mike Leach offense. He would have at any given

(25:06):
time five potential receivers, and nobody had done anything like that.
That's what took Mike Leach's offense from what was known
as the West Coast offense, which featured a lot more passes,
which featured using short passes and you think of these

(25:27):
little quick slants that are almost like a run. What
went from the West Coast offense to the Air raid
was the moment that it was almost exclusively a passing offense.
And what Leech did brilliantly was given five options spreading

(25:48):
the field, stretching the defense, and that allowed him at Valdesta,
that allowed him at Ohio, at Iowa Western or whatever,
and then Kentucky in then Oklahoma and then Texas Tack
and Lubbock and then Washington State and then Mississippi State.
What he did was he stretched out. He had lesser

(26:10):
players than the other team, but he used strategy to
overwhelm them and in the process defeat them. That's exactly
what Trump is doing. He is he is making attacks
on their side flank so that they're distracted from the battle.

(26:32):
You know, you see if like me, you watch these
videos on World Star in places where two people are fighting,
one of them's pulling the other one's wig, and somebody
will come up from behind and hit one of them,
and that just throws the whole dynamic off, right, because
you distracted. That's what Trump is doing now. If you

(26:55):
can't understand that, and some people can't. I had a
conservative publican tell me the other day, I don't think
he's going to do some of those things he's saying
he is, and said, what do you mean, like, I
don't think he's going to buy Canada? Do you care? Well,
he shouldn't say he's going to if he's not. Really,
that's your thing. If he reforms our government, exposes all

(27:18):
the fraud, and ends it at the end of his term,
you'll say, yeah, but she just said you were going
to buy Canada and you didn't really. Are you that simple?
And that's how I feel about it, So Biden. So
so Trump continues to just toss things out and Left's

(27:40):
brains explode. And just about the time two hours later
that they're trying to have the talking heads on CNN
to describe how crazy this would be for him to
annex Canada, he goes on to the next one and
he keeps doubling down and it makes them crazy. Here
he was talking to Brett.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Bear, you know, the Prime Minister said this weekend to
a group of Canadian businessmen, he was a private meeting
he said that your wish for Canada be the fifty
first state is a quote real thing.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Is it a real thing?

Speaker 10 (28:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
It is.

Speaker 7 (28:14):
I think Canada would be much better of being a
fifty first sake because we lose two hundred billion dollars
a year with Canada, and I'm not going to let
that happen too much.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Why are we paying two hundred billion.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
Dollars a year essentially in subsidy to Canada now if
they're a fifty first state, I don't I doing it.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
So just about the time they got everybody to gather
going this is a terrible idea. I'll upset Canada won't
be able to get maple syrup or whatever horrible thing
will happen if Canada somehow pitches a fit. Oh no,
what will we do with all our made in Canada goods.
We won't be able to survive without Canada. Just about
the time they got all their guests ready to attack

(28:53):
him for that, he says, Oh, by the way, we're
gonna buy Gaza.

Speaker 8 (28:58):
Comitted to buy owning us as far as US rebuilding it,
we may give it to other states in the Middle East,
and those sections of it other people may do it
through our auspices, but we're committed to owning it, taking
it and making sure that Hamas says that you're back,
there's nothing to move back into. The place is a

(29:21):
demolition site.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
It'll be.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
The remainder will be demolished. Everything's demolished. I mean, you
can't live in those buildings right now. They're very unsafe.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
His ability to get things done so fast is premised
on his ability to divide and conquer, as the British
did in India, to keep people on their heels. They
can't figure out what to attack him on. He's hitting
them from too many angles. It's shock and awe. Caitlin Collins,

(29:53):
who he referred to as that nasty person on CNN,
was on the Late Show with Seth Myers. She hates Trump,
and even she had to admit, the pace of this
administration is insane. This is the hurry up offense. The
entire game long. You don't have time to sub in anybody,
you don't have time to make adjustments. You're doing this

(30:14):
every day you're in DC. The pace of the Trump
administration seems to be moving pretty quickly. How are you
holding up?

Speaker 4 (30:21):
It is insane and I think everyone is kind of
like readjusting and re remembering what it was like four
years ago. Pre four years ago. I remember when when
Biden first took office in January, the New York Times
wrote the story about how quiet the weekends were, because
for reporters, every weekend had just been like another It
was like a seven day work week. And now we're
back to that basically, where it's just essentially NonStop every day.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
You kind of wake up like not knowing what you're
going to be doing, what the schedule is. I was
walking to breakfast one day this week. I was like, OK,
I'm gonna have a nice little breakfast forre.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
I go to work, and uh, halfway there, They're like
Trump's doing a press conference at an hour And I
physically ran back.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Home so I could change and get ready. Oh my god,
how did your dad You physically ran home to get
ready moves off ast? Oh my god. Christen Welker of
Meet the Press started this past week's program talking about
President Trump's historic overhaul of the federal government.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
We begin with President Trump's historic overhaul of the federal
government that is proceeding at an unprecedented pace and scale.
The president has tasked Elon Musk, the world's richest man,
with carrying out his mission, and now Musk and his
team of young tech engineers have inserted themselves into at
least seventeen federal agencies, according to The New York Times,

(31:37):
accessing sensitive federal data like social security numbers and bank
accounts for millions of Americans.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Next, we have Andy Kim, Democrat, Senator from New Jersey.
He's very upset. He will not stand for all this
waste to be exposed and ended and as a result,
will just shut the government down.

Speaker 10 (31:58):
Your colleague, Jeff Merkley, basic they said he's prepared to
try to shut down the government over some of these
sledgehammer actions that he's seeing by Elon Musk. Are you
prepared to shut down the government to join democratic colleagues,
you want to stand in the way of keeping the
government over, Well.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
You have to look at what the Trump administration is
doing right now. They are simply trying to there are
simply dry, They are simply trying to dismantle the government.
So yes, look, if we have to take steps to
be able to hold them account, we'll use the leverage
that we have to force it. I cannot support efforts
that will continue this lawlessness that we're seeing when it
comes to this administration's actions, and for us to be

(32:34):
able to support government funding in that way only for
them to turn it around to dismantle the government, that
is not something that should be allowed.

Speaker 10 (32:41):
So, just to be clear, Senator, you are open to
voting yes to shut down the government to make this point.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
This is on them.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
This is about whether or not they can get the votes.
They are the majority, and if they cannot govern, then
then you know, that's for the American people to see.
But I worked in government. I work through multiple government shutdowns.
I would be the last person to want to get
to that stage. But we are at a point where
we are basically on the cost of a constitutional crisis,
seeing this administration taking steps that are so clearly illegal,

(33:09):
and until we see a change in that behavior, we
should not allow and condone that, nor should we assist
in that.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Andy Kim is the silly little shepherd who runs into
town and says wolf to get all the naive, well
meaning townsfolk to come running, and when they arrive, he
laughs and says, there is no wolf. We're on to you,
Andy Kim, You're not shutting the government down, and if
you did, I'd be okay.
