Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Before we begin, I'd like to do something important. I'd
like to acknowledge the land that were gathered on and
the first peoples who have gathered on this land, who
were and still are the stewards of this land.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This country is going straight to hell.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
America is infected with a disease, and that disease is
called racism. It often is utilized to support economic benefits
of corporations, the economic benefits of those who use such
divisions in order for their personal profit. This country has
had a longstanding labor practice that is despicable at best,
(00:56):
and so the idea of make America great again. We
don't see a country that is wrong, in my opinion,
we see a country that has never been right.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
When they're running down my countryman, they're walking on the
fighting side. Be yeall walk in on the fighting side
of me, running down We're life by fighting all your dudy.
If you don't love to lead and let this song
(01:27):
I'm singing, you horning and you're running down my countryman,
you walk in on fighting side.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I'd be.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
You can't get get your fasts Usa. I'm not you.
You can't get get you fin Usa.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, one more time.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
You you can't can't get you fuss as the US there.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I never running down my cot the horse there, walking.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
On the fact that size.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You walking along right inside of me running down well
lie by fack.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
The opening segment of an evening show is the most
prime real estate. So there's always a question what you
start with, and so it might seem odd that I
am choosing to start with President Trump speaking at Seapack
this weekend about going to Fort Knox. But I think
(02:48):
this is as big a story as there is because
it has a much deeper meaning. The symbolism of Donald
Trump saying we're gonna go to Fort Knox and see
if the gold is still there, it's not really about
the goal, it's not really about him being there. The
(03:09):
symbolism of this is his constant reminder and willingness to say,
the American people have been lied to, and I'm going
to expose it, and we're going to call out the liars,
and we're going to teach people to be more skeptical,
if not cynical, and to no longer trust the experts
(03:32):
and trust what they call the science and trust the authority.
What he's teaching you to do is not what to think,
but how to think. And that is deeper. When you
talk about a movement, you have to understand a movement
is not about winning an election. A movement lasts for decades.
(03:56):
It's much deeper, broader, more all encompass. I don't want
I don't want the importance of what he's doing here
to be reduced simply to walking in as well, is
there gold or is or not? It's so much bigger
than that, and that's why I'm choosing to highlight that.
Now here's what President Trump said at Seapack this weekend.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
We're also going to Fort Knox.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
I'm gonna go with Elon.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
Would anybody like to join us, because we want.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
To see if the gold is still there? We want
to see. Would not be terrible we open up this.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
Fort Knox has got it's just solid granite that's five
feet thick. The front door. You need six musclemen to
open it up. I don't even think they have windows.
Would not be terrible if we opened it up and there.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Was no gold there, honey. So we're gonna open those doors.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
We're gonna take a look at If this twenty seven
tons of gold, we'll be very happy.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I don't know how the hell.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
We're gonna measure it, but that it's okay.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
We want to.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
See lots of nice, beautiful, shiny gold in Fort Knox.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Toby totally surprised.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
We opened the door and was said, it's nothing here.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
They sold this.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Too many people liking this to that idiot Healdo opening
al Capone's vault.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you remember that I Waldo Rivera and you're.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
About to witness a live television event.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
A massive concrete vault has been discovered.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Some think it belonged to none other than the notorious
cal Capone.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Well, tonight, for the first time, that vault is going
to be.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Opened live, and we all know how that ended.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I promised all the critics that if we didn't find anything,
I'd sing a song.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So uh uh, Chicago, Chicago, that camp, all right, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Going I'll the you.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
People think that Haaralda was embarrassed by that. He wasn't
Eraldo was a carnival bark. He just wanted you to
come see the Bearded Lady because he got a ticket
paid out of that. The man's made a career of
being a clown. That's exactly what he is.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
The most rewarding moment in Heraldo's life, from my perspective,
was when he got punched in the nose so solidly.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now that felt that felt like, huh, oh is it
the chair?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You know what, you're right, You're right. It was a
chair thrown at him.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I wish it had been a punch, but seeing his
nose kind of splattered on his face, that felt good.
What Trump is doing in this case is he's laying
bare the fact that you can beat Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden.
You can, and you can win an election, but you've
got to understand for change.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To the degree it.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Is necessary to fix this country, it's going to require
more than just one or two of these people. These
people are symptoms of the problem. They're not the problem.
What if the vault is empty, let's model that out.
What if it's empty, who has access to the vault?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Right? Do you ever wonder that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
We learn over the weekend that the FBI believes that
the presidential desk had a listening device that Trump says
he didn't order installed.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Why would he? We know how that turned out for Nixon.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Of course, the devices have been installed long before Nixon,
just weren't there was no awareness of them. But who
has the authority to do that? Who has the authority
to investigate Donald Trump when he's the president? And Trump's
point is, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Going to be gone. You've got to be all. These
people need to fear you.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Not that you'll bash their heads in, but that's you know,
look at the French Revolution's most obvious example of seventeen
eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Throughout history.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
We saw this in Sri Lanka a few years ago,
where the presidential palace was stormed. When people are mistreated,
who lied to and defiled in such a way for
so long, it leads to revolution. And I would like
this one to be a bloodless one, but we do
need a revolution.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is the Michael Berry show. Let's stick with the
Trump thing for a moment.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
He seemed to be having a lot of fun this
weekend at Seapack, and he took a couple of minutes
to roast Joe Biden. And this is just this really
is just Trump having fun. He really enjoys this sort
of thing.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Sleepy Joe, gotta stay with Cook. He had one ability
that I didn't have. He could do something that I
couldn't do.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I don't say that because he was a horrible golf
Remember a challenge to be doing the debate to a
golf He said, I'm a six handicap. I said, you're
not a thirty six handicap. He said he's a six
and then he said.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Well I'm eight.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Remember I said that was quick, picked up two strokes.
He said, nominate, but he was. He's not a thirty
six handicap. But he had one ability that was amazing.
He could go with cameras on him, television, fake news
on him, probably because he knows they wouldn't cover it badly.
You know, they covered him as well as you can
cover him.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
How to help can you cover the guy?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well?
Speaker 8 (09:26):
But he had this incredible He could barely walk in
the sand. Somebody thought he looked great in a bathing suit,
and he'd walk in the sand pulling a thing that
weighed about six ounces.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
You know, those aluminums. The aluminiums a very good. You
can a child.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
It's meant for children and very old people to left right.
So he would put it down, and he put it
down and it'd fall into it, and he'd immediately fall
asleep in front of the media. I could never do that.
That's the only thing. That's the only thing. I could
never do it. Now, he was sleepy Joe, but he
was crooked as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Then there is that question.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
He is a sleepy, crooked guy.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Terrible, terrible protest.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
They have courses at universities today, even what were once
considered great universities, esteemed prestigious universities where they will study
things like the music of Taylor Swift and its impact
on pop culture, or Beyonce or whatever else. There should
be courses taught on Donald Trump's messaging. He is the
(10:39):
best I've ever seen at it. And I didn't realize
that when he started. I would not have said that
in twenty sixteen, but I've come to understand it grudgingly
because it's unconventional. He does not speak in the way
that we have grown accustomed to people speaking who are
(11:01):
candidates for office and then.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Holders of office.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
This was what upset a lot of the country club
Republican crowd that he doesn't quote act presidential. This upset
a lot of women who would allow just these monsters
like Joe Biden to be president because oh, they act presidential, Well.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
They don't, but what does that mean.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It means you don't stand for anything or do anything,
but you talk pleasantly because Lord knows, we don't want
the kids to see the president talking tough. We'd rather
the president eating ice cream and destroying our country and
your kid is starving or having their wiener cut off
at school. But at least they're acting presidential. Trump has
perfected a means by which he communicates that is so
(11:49):
much more powerful than the casual observer and media understand.
But I've studied it and I am in awe of it.
He has an incredible command of it. A lot of
people have tried to varying degrees of success to co
opt some of those aspects, and as I said, to
(12:11):
varying degrees of success. But then after making the Joe
Biden jokes, he then gets to what he's done. Taking
action is a skill that most people don't have, and
I don't care if it's a quarterback on a football team.
The ability to make the read and throw it, or
as a free safety, the ability to break on a
(12:32):
ball and make a play, the ability to be decisive.
Most people are not decisive. They would rather the decisions
be made for them by other people. Chris Rock famously
said that Barack Obama's like the president of the country.
He makes the decisions for it. We have to respect
him because he tells us what time to.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Go to bed.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
A lot of adults and you might know someone this way,
you might be married to someone. As drives women crazy
when when their man is one of these their adult children,
their mommy still tells them what to do. There are
adults who would much rather live under authoritarianism because that
would at least mean they don't have to make decisions.
(13:13):
What Trump is very good at doing is being decisive,
to choose to do something and act and live with
the consequences. Here's a great example.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I revoked the security clearances of Anthony Blincoln, Jake Sullivan,
John Brennan, James Clapper, and every non patriot who lied
to cover up Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell. We took
away their security clearances.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
And they're not allowed to enter any government building either.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I also revoke Joe Biden's security clearances, the Biden Prime
family security clarences, and they'll no longer be allowed to access.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
State secrets.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
While selling themselves all around the world.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
World though, well, it's so gratifying, so rewarding to see
him actually doing these things, and that is the beauty
of all of this. President Trump confronted Maine's governor, Janet Mills.
He had the governors to the White House over the
(14:20):
last few days. He was a National Government Governors Association,
and he directly asked whether the state of Maine would
comply with his executive order prohibiting male athletes from competing
in women's and girls' sports. If they call themselves a girl,
because they're not a girl. They are scientifically, trust the science,
(14:42):
they are not a girl. And rather than be passive
aggressive about it, he addressed it directly right there.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
The NCAAA has complied immediately, by the way, that's good,
But I understand Maine is the main here, the governor
of bank.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we
are the federal law.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Well you better do it.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Liberal, although I did very well there.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So
you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Every state. Good.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I'll see you, and.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Could I look forward to that.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
That should be a really easy one. And enjoy your
life after governor, because I don't think you'll be an
elected politic.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
You know, very few people have the personality to be
able at an event like that just say hey, where's
that person and look him dead in the eye, never
raising his voice. He had Emmanuel Macron today, the French
leader in the White House, and he had him like
(15:55):
a puppy that pete at home and hadn't been whipped yet.
He had him just simple. Trump looked out at the cameras,
and Macron just kept his eyes on Trump, like.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Please throw me a bone here.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
His understanding of human nature and his understanding of strength
and weakness, that's part of what the nicknames are about.
That's part of what But his ability to keep his
calm in a spat without ever raising his voice, but
remaining very very song Freud even keel while telling her
(16:33):
you'll be finished and by the way, your whole career
will be finished without it for me to talk to
you like that, I gotta be young I gotta get.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Mad live laugh doing it big on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I got to kick out of a.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
You know, Trump is keeping such long days. He's seventy
eight years old.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This is.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
He's not superman. He's still a human being, still has
a heart and lungs and a brain. He still requires
a certain amount of sleep, although he's getting less than
anybody else in the country right now. And these are
intense days, and he's prepping for these meetings and things
that he's doing, and and all of that. To process
all of that, you know that you're cramming for an
(17:18):
exam constantly. And some of the things he says, the
way he says them, this is going to be five
oh six or month. It might appear that it's an
off handed statement, but the way that will be perceived.
The audience here is not you and me. The audience
(17:39):
here is Angela, Merkel and German leaders. And this is
not what he says here is not lost on them.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
On Sunday, what do you say to how many directions
on Sunday?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
For Germany? I wish I'm luck.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
We got our.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
The statement there is you folks are on your own.
You're not in my inner circle. Now I don't have
time today because I have a lot of other things.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I want to get to. But that is based in
part on.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
What's going on with Russia and Ukraine and Germany's role there,
and the fact that the AfD leader, who while they
didn't win, they came in second, the AfD leader was
basically promising the Trump agenda for Germany and Germany may
be too far gone, but Germany understands they are becoming
(18:37):
a Muslim nation that is destroying free speech.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And when you start talking about.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
These sharia law folks and their ability to intimidate the feckless,
cuck white liberals, and Germany has a lot of them,
and their willingness to censor anyone who would criticize the
migration of Middle Eastern Muslims to the country and what's
happened as a result. You've got a tempest in a
(19:06):
teapot there. You've got a real problem on your hands.
And what's left of the German electorate cast a lot
of ods. The AfD did better than the party came
in second. That is sort of the maga you know
of Germany make Germany great again type party. But I
don't know if it's too little, too late. It's going
to be interesting to see. It's going to be very
(19:27):
interesting to see this next one. I include because it's
just it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Booker T.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Jones On is on TikTok posting a video of a
New Yorker happy that Trump is back in the White House. Now,
you might think of New York as being all liberals
because you know Kathy Hochel and all that, But there's
so many people in places like Portland, in places like California,
(19:52):
and in places like New York that are fed up
and they may not consider themselves Republicans, but they love Trump.
And this is what the Republican Party needs to understand.
These are people that are never going to be partisan.
The Mike Pences, the Mitt Romney's, the Jeb Bushes, they
can't get these people's vote, but Trump can. And the
Republican Party, if you want to win, this is how
(20:14):
you do it.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
How happy were you?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And Donald Trump went?
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Yeah, overjoyed it finally happened. Yeah, you know, I mean,
I'm kind of glad they stole the last one because
that basically what happened, because the game four years to
figure out really what the deal is and to sit
back and now how to go down there and punch
everybody in again face. That basically what's going on because
he picked the right people. He's like, I'm getting everybody's
going to be a game pit bull, and we're going
to go down there and we're gonna level this thing.
(20:39):
And we've got to get rid of all this bureauc
and see, I'm going to strike fear into the hearts
to not just people here in the Manica, but the
rest of the world.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right it's like every.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
Day it's like a win, you know what I mean,
It's not one, it's the whole overall effect and every
multiple direction he can And what he's proven is because
politicians in Washington they made everything.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seem like nothing you get done, he's done at all,
they ain't proven.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah yeah, Ken, Yeah, Ken, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
He's here to do it. You know, he's not here
to dilly dally, you know what I mean. We want results.
And he's telling everybody right to the face what he thinks.
I mean, the first day he was there, he's got
people in it, he's signing everything, and a White House
pressure is in the overlookers, holding in asking, answering questions
left right and center on multiple subjects which the last
guy couldn't do, wouldn't do without a health prompt them,
(21:27):
you know. So the guy can discuss everything in any
subject matter in a way, you know, and it's.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Uh, he's here to do it. It's uh.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
It's interesting to see how empowered people feel. And I'll
tell you a big part of this is not partisan
or even ideological. Americans are strong people. We are conquering people.
A lot of people are against imperialism or empower I'm not.
(21:58):
America's influence has spread the world, our movies, our music,
but our constitution, our system of government, America's influence in
the world. A strong America, you know, defending champions of
the two World Wars. That's who Americans see ourselves as.
(22:19):
So when Obama was elected and went on the apology tour,
Americans were very bother. This is not who we are,
This is not how we want our image to be projected.
We're much better than this, We're stronger than this.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
This is going to be five twelve.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Promonis jd Vance speaking at Seapack over the weekend, and
he's talking about young men, and he's basically saying.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Young men need to be men again.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
And this might seem like an obvious thing, but this
needs to be said.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I think that our culture sends a message to young
men that you should suppress every masculine urge, should you
should try to cast aside your family. You should try
to suppress what makes you a young man in the
first place. And I think that my message to young
men is, don't allow this broken culture to send you
(23:20):
a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, because.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You like to tell a joke, because you like to have.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
A beer with your friends, or because you're competitive.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's our.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Like, our message, the cultural message, and I think the
presidents in mine.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Is the exact opposite.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
But our cultural message is I think that it wants
to turn everybody into whether male or female, into androgynists,
idiots who think the same, talk the same, and act
the same. We actually think God made male and female
for a purpose, and we want you guys to thrive
as young men and as young women, and we're going
(24:07):
to help with our public policy to make it possible
to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It kind of goes back to Ricky Gervais when he
was on the view.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's the thing about offense, isn't it When people say
they're offended. Just because you're offended, it doesn't mean you're right.
You know. It's offenses about feelings, and feelings are personal.
Some people are offended by equality, so what you know,
so you can't second guess people. If you try and
please everyone, you'll please no one. With comedy as well,
(24:36):
you've got I think you've got to deal with taboos
and content issues, and sometimes you're deal in irony and
some people don't get that. But you know, you can't
legislate against stupidity otherwise you'll be doing nothing, you know,
because I'm not doing it for the two hundred egos
in the room. I'm doing it for the two hundred
million people watching around who aren't winning awards, who aren't millionaires,
and freedom haspach is so important these days. I've reached
(24:57):
the age now where I don't care anymore to not
to joke about all the bad things. That's a waste
because that's exactly what we should joke about. If you
can laugh in the faceboo versity, you're poizar is on.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well done, sir, This is the Michael Verie Show.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Lesterhold stepping down as NBC nightly news anchor. Joy Read
is joyless as she was fired from MSNBC, and folks
are rejoicing that she's out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But here's my strategy on that. I don't want.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Joy Read out because as mad as she makes you,
when for whatever reason you keep going over there to
watch her, well, you don't realize that she makes everybody man.
She doesn't convince anybody. And the more absurd and ridiculous
the claims that she makes, the less believable they are.
And so a lot of folks are uncomfortable with the
(25:57):
idea that a stupid thing can be said and the
world won't come to an end. And it's the basis
of that is that if someone says something stupid, we
have to immediately silence it, or other people will hear
it and then they'll believe it, and then horrible things
will happen.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
But you don't.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
You have to trust that your fellow Americans have more
sense than you would expect. And so then people will
say to me in response, well, no, don't you see,
don't you see and then they point to this or
that dumb person, and don't you see that those people
are in the minority.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I don't know if you noticed. We won the election
even with the cheating.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
You have to trust, I have to do your part
and trust and once you understand that, you you can't
let these people live in your head rent free. And
that's what a lot of people, unfortunately are allowing to happen, is.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That you can't help yourself.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
You got to go see what joy Read's talking about,
and then you watch it and you're very upset. Well,
what's the point of that. She doesn't care whether you
love what she says or hate what she says, as
long as you're reacting to what she says, you understand.
That's how this game, and it is a game. It
(27:24):
is a game for these people. The point for MSNBC
is to figure out some recipe that will that will
glue eyeballs to the show. And it doesn't matter if
that's because you love what they're doing or you hate
what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know, there the era of the shock jock is over.
But the shock jock.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Era once it started, and there were folks who had
some success with it. Howard Stern would be a great example,
but there were lots more then then that caused other
people to feel like, well, I have to do that
because that's the only way to get attention. Many people
watched Shocked or listened to shock jocks who didn't even
(28:08):
like them. They just listened because it was a train
wreck and they wanted to watch the train wreck.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You have to.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Understand that, whether it's The View or MSNBC or CNN,
or Don Lemon or or Anderson Pooper or any of
these people, their whole existence is getting attention, and when
you give them attention, that is fuel to their fire.
Jasmine Crockett, I mean, this girl should, by all accounts,
(28:43):
be doing something other than being in Congress, and you'd
probably come up with what some of those might be.
She's dumb, but she's not the stupidest person in Congress.
She's smart enough to figure out that if she just
keeps throwing haymakers, if she just keeps saying ridiculous things
(29:03):
very loudly and refuses to shut up. She saw Sheila
Jackson Lee, people would tell me help set, they would
get with Sheila.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, Sheila's a gold mine for me.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Well, you don't want to help her be defeated because
you don't you want her there, No, I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Happy to help her to be defeated.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
I'm happy to do that, but I want you to
understand that the minute Sheila drops, there'll be another one
step in. And right now it's Jasmine Crockett, but she's
not the only one. There's Maxine Waters, there's AOC there's
ilhan Omar, who was calling American stupid this weekend. These
people know what they're doing. Believe it or not, they
are You have to understand the business model of media.
(29:46):
What they're doing is they are polarizing people, and the
matter you get, the more attention they get, because a
lot of people are grudge watching their show and grudge
forwarding it, and so it takes on the life of
its own. A really thoughtful, cerebral, balanced liberal show will die.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It would also be more dangerous.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
You want this craziness because this craziness gets a lot
of attention, but it doesn't move the needle. It doesn't
change people's mindset. People see Jasmine Crockett and they think,
my goodness, what rock did she crawl out from under?
She's a complete dummy, and that's the part she's playing.
(30:39):
I don't think she's as dumb as she pretends to be.
But that mindset gets her a lot of coverage that
because guess what Fox is gonna say, Here's what Jasmine
Crockett did today, and it's fun to ridicule it. The
problem I worry about is the folks who aren't in
(30:59):
on the joke, the folks who don't understand that we
are to ridicule. Those people not get upset at what
they're saying, because in most cases.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They don't even believe it themselves. They don't even believe
it themselves.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
And once you understand that, once you understand that, then
the rest is simple.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
So goodbye, Lester Holt. Don't let the door split you
where the good Lord? Wait, oh, don't let the door
hit you where the Good Lord split you.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
Let's close the segment with NBC's Lester Holt once justifying
the Trump assassination attempt as if Trump was responsible for it.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Today's a parent assassination attempt comes aid increasingly fierce rhetoric
on the campaign trail itself. Mister Trump is running made
JD vans continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants
in Ohio. This weekend, there were new bomb threats in
that town. Our Maggie Vess is in Columbus, Ohio, with
more lesser.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Simply put, Springfield, Ohio has been inundated by threats so
over the last several days, closing government buildings, schools, hospitals.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Today effectively closing a local university campus after administrators said
someone threatened a mass shooting targeting Haitians.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
This in light of officials say a false online conspiracy theory
alleging Haitian immigrants in that city are eating people's pets.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Before we begin, I'd like to do something important. I'd
like to acknowledge the land that were gathered on and
the first peoples who have gathered on this land, who
were and still are the stewards of this land.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This country is going straight to hell.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
America is infected with a disease, and that disease is
called racism. It often is utilized to support economic benefits
of corporations, the economic benefits of those who use such
divisions in order for their personal profit. This country has
had a longstanding labor practice that is despicable at best,
(00:56):
and so the idea of make America great again. We
don't see a country that is wrong, in my opinion,
we see a country that has never been right.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
When they're running down my countryman, they're walking on the
fighting side. Be yeall walk in on the fighting side
of me, running down We're life by fighting all your dudy.
If you don't love to lead and let this song
(01:27):
I'm singing, you horning and you're running down my countryman,
you walk in on fighting side.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I'd be.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
You can't get get your fasts Usa. I'm not you.
You can't get get you fin Usa.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, one more time.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
You you can't can't get you fuss as the US there.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I never running down my cot the horse there, walking.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
On the fact that size.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
You walking along right inside of me running down well
lie by fack.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
The opening segment of an evening show is the most
prime real estate. So there's always a question what you
start with, and so it might seem odd that I
am choosing to start with President Trump speaking at Seapack
this weekend about going to Fort Knox. But I think
(02:48):
this is as big a story as there is because
it has a much deeper meaning. The symbolism of Donald
Trump saying we're gonna go to Fort Knox and see
if the gold is still there, it's not really about
the goal, it's not really about him being there. The
(03:09):
symbolism of this is his constant reminder and willingness to say,
the American people have been lied to, and I'm going
to expose it, and we're going to call out the liars,
and we're going to teach people to be more skeptical,
if not cynical, and to no longer trust the experts
(03:32):
and trust what they call the science and trust the authority.
What he's teaching you to do is not what to think,
but how to think. And that is deeper. When you
talk about a movement, you have to understand a movement
is not about winning an election. A movement lasts for decades.
(03:56):
It's much deeper, broader, more all encompass. I don't want
I don't want the importance of what he's doing here
to be reduced simply to walking in as well, is
there gold or is or not? It's so much bigger
than that, and that's why I'm choosing to highlight that.
Now here's what President Trump said at Seapack this weekend.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
We're also going to Fort Knox.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
I'm gonna go with Elon.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
Would anybody like to join us, because we want.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
To see if the gold is still there? We want
to see. Would not be terrible we open up this.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
Fort Knox has got it's just solid granite that's five
feet thick. The front door. You need six musclemen to
open it up. I don't even think they have windows.
Would not be terrible if we opened it up and there.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Was no gold there, honey. So we're gonna open those doors.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
We're gonna take a look at If this twenty seven
tons of gold, we'll be very happy.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I don't know how the hell.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
We're gonna measure it, but that it's okay.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
We want to.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
See lots of nice, beautiful, shiny gold in Fort Knox.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Toby totally surprised.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
We opened the door and was said, it's nothing here.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
They sold this.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Too many people liking this to that idiot Healdo opening
al Capone's vault.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you remember that I Waldo Rivera and you're.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
About to witness a live television event.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
A massive concrete vault has been discovered.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Some think it belonged to none other than the notorious
cal Capone.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Well, tonight, for the first time, that vault is going
to be.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Opened live, and we all know how that ended.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I promised all the critics that if we didn't find anything,
I'd sing a song.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
So uh uh, Chicago, Chicago, that camp, all right, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Going I'll the you.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
People think that Haaralda was embarrassed by that. He wasn't
Eraldo was a carnival bark. He just wanted you to
come see the Bearded Lady because he got a ticket
paid out of that. The man's made a career of
being a clown. That's exactly what he is.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
The most rewarding moment in Heraldo's life, from my perspective,
was when he got punched in the nose so solidly.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now that felt that felt like, huh, oh is it
the chair?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You know what, you're right, You're right. It was a
chair thrown at him.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I wish it had been a punch, but seeing his
nose kind of splattered on his face, that felt good.
What Trump is doing in this case is he's laying
bare the fact that you can beat Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden.
You can, and you can win an election, but you've
got to understand for change.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To the degree it.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Is necessary to fix this country, it's going to require
more than just one or two of these people. These
people are symptoms of the problem. They're not the problem.
What if the vault is empty, let's model that out.
What if it's empty, who has access to the vault?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Right? Do you ever wonder that.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
We learn over the weekend that the FBI believes that
the presidential desk had a listening device that Trump says
he didn't order installed.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Why would he? We know how that turned out for Nixon.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Of course, the devices have been installed long before Nixon,
just weren't there was no awareness of them. But who
has the authority to do that? Who has the authority
to investigate Donald Trump when he's the president? And Trump's
point is, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Going to be gone. You've got to be all. These
people need to fear you.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Not that you'll bash their heads in, but that's you know,
look at the French Revolution's most obvious example of seventeen
eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Throughout history.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
We saw this in Sri Lanka a few years ago,
where the presidential palace was stormed. When people are mistreated,
who lied to and defiled in such a way for
so long, it leads to revolution. And I would like
this one to be a bloodless one, but we do
need a revolution.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
This is the Michael Berry show. Let's stick with the
Trump thing for a moment.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
He seemed to be having a lot of fun this
weekend at Seapack, and he took a couple of minutes
to roast Joe Biden. And this is just this really
is just Trump having fun. He really enjoys this sort
of thing.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Sleepy Joe, gotta stay with Cook. He had one ability
that I didn't have. He could do something that I
couldn't do.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
I don't say that because he was a horrible golf
Remember a challenge to be doing the debate to a
golf He said, I'm a six handicap. I said, you're
not a thirty six handicap. He said he's a six
and then he said.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Well I'm eight.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Remember I said that was quick, picked up two strokes.
He said, nominate, but he was. He's not a thirty
six handicap. But he had one ability that was amazing.
He could go with cameras on him, television, fake news
on him, probably because he knows they wouldn't cover it badly.
You know, they covered him as well as you can
cover him.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
How to help can you cover the guy?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Well?
Speaker 8 (09:26):
But he had this incredible He could barely walk in
the sand. Somebody thought he looked great in a bathing suit,
and he'd walk in the sand pulling a thing that
weighed about six ounces.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
You know, those aluminums. The aluminiums a very good. You
can a child.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
It's meant for children and very old people to left right.
So he would put it down, and he put it
down and it'd fall into it, and he'd immediately fall
asleep in front of the media. I could never do that.
That's the only thing. That's the only thing. I could
never do it. Now, he was sleepy Joe, but he
was crooked as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Then there is that question.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
He is a sleepy, crooked guy.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Terrible, terrible protest.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
They have courses at universities today, even what were once
considered great universities, esteemed prestigious universities where they will study
things like the music of Taylor Swift and its impact
on pop culture, or Beyonce or whatever else. There should
be courses taught on Donald Trump's messaging. He is the
(10:39):
best I've ever seen at it. And I didn't realize
that when he started. I would not have said that
in twenty sixteen, but I've come to understand it grudgingly
because it's unconventional. He does not speak in the way
that we have grown accustomed to people speaking who are
(11:01):
candidates for office and then.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Holders of office.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
This was what upset a lot of the country club
Republican crowd that he doesn't quote act presidential. This upset
a lot of women who would allow just these monsters
like Joe Biden to be president because oh, they act presidential, Well.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
They don't, but what does that mean.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It means you don't stand for anything or do anything,
but you talk pleasantly because Lord knows, we don't want
the kids to see the president talking tough. We'd rather
the president eating ice cream and destroying our country and
your kid is starving or having their wiener cut off
at school. But at least they're acting presidential. Trump has
perfected a means by which he communicates that is so
(11:49):
much more powerful than the casual observer and media understand.
But I've studied it and I am in awe of it.
He has an incredible command of it. A lot of
people have tried to varying degrees of success to co
opt some of those aspects, and as I said, to
(12:11):
varying degrees of success. But then after making the Joe
Biden jokes, he then gets to what he's done. Taking
action is a skill that most people don't have, and
I don't care if it's a quarterback on a football team.
The ability to make the read and throw it, or
as a free safety, the ability to break on a
(12:32):
ball and make a play, the ability to be decisive.
Most people are not decisive. They would rather the decisions
be made for them by other people. Chris Rock famously
said that Barack Obama's like the president of the country.
He makes the decisions for it. We have to respect
him because he tells us what time to.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Go to bed.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
A lot of adults and you might know someone this way,
you might be married to someone. As drives women crazy
when when their man is one of these their adult children,
their mommy still tells them what to do. There are
adults who would much rather live under authoritarianism because that
would at least mean they don't have to make decisions.
(13:13):
What Trump is very good at doing is being decisive,
to choose to do something and act and live with
the consequences. Here's a great example.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I revoked the security clearances of Anthony Blincoln, Jake Sullivan,
John Brennan, James Clapper, and every non patriot who lied
to cover up Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell. We took
away their security clearances.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
And they're not allowed to enter any government building either.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I also revoke Joe Biden's security clearances, the Biden Prime
family security clarences, and they'll no longer be allowed to access.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
State secrets.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
While selling themselves all around the world.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
World though, well, it's so gratifying, so rewarding to see
him actually doing these things, and that is the beauty
of all of this. President Trump confronted Maine's governor, Janet Mills.
He had the governors to the White House over the
(14:20):
last few days. He was a National Government Governors Association,
and he directly asked whether the state of Maine would
comply with his executive order prohibiting male athletes from competing
in women's and girls' sports. If they call themselves a girl,
because they're not a girl. They are scientifically, trust the science,
(14:42):
they are not a girl. And rather than be passive
aggressive about it, he addressed it directly right there.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
The NCAAA has complied immediately, by the way, that's good,
But I understand Maine is the main here, the governor
of bank.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we
are the federal law.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Well you better do it.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Liberal, although I did very well there.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So
you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Every state. Good.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I'll see you, and.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Could I look forward to that.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
That should be a really easy one. And enjoy your
life after governor, because I don't think you'll be an
elected politic.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
You know, very few people have the personality to be
able at an event like that just say hey, where's
that person and look him dead in the eye, never
raising his voice. He had Emmanuel Macron today, the French
leader in the White House, and he had him like
(15:55):
a puppy that pete at home and hadn't been whipped yet.
He had him just simple. Trump looked out at the cameras,
and Macron just kept his eyes on Trump, like.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Please throw me a bone here.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
His understanding of human nature and his understanding of strength
and weakness, that's part of what the nicknames are about.
That's part of what But his ability to keep his
calm in a spat without ever raising his voice, but
remaining very very song Freud even keel while telling her
(16:33):
you'll be finished and by the way, your whole career
will be finished without it for me to talk to
you like that, I gotta be young I gotta get.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Mad live laugh doing it big on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I got to kick out of a.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
You know, Trump is keeping such long days. He's seventy
eight years old.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
This is.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
He's not superman. He's still a human being, still has
a heart and lungs and a brain. He still requires
a certain amount of sleep, although he's getting less than
anybody else in the country right now. And these are
intense days, and he's prepping for these meetings and things
that he's doing, and and all of that. To process
all of that, you know that you're cramming for an
(17:18):
exam constantly. And some of the things he says, the
way he says them, this is going to be five
oh six or month. It might appear that it's an
off handed statement, but the way that will be perceived.
The audience here is not you and me. The audience
(17:39):
here is Angela, Merkel and German leaders. And this is
not what he says here is not lost on them.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
On Sunday, what do you say to how many directions
on Sunday?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
For Germany? I wish I'm luck.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
We got our.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
The statement there is you folks are on your own.
You're not in my inner circle. Now I don't have
time today because I have a lot of other things.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I want to get to. But that is based in
part on.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
What's going on with Russia and Ukraine and Germany's role there,
and the fact that the AfD leader, who while they
didn't win, they came in second, the AfD leader was
basically promising the Trump agenda for Germany and Germany may
be too far gone, but Germany understands they are becoming
(18:37):
a Muslim nation that is destroying free speech.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And when you start talking about.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
These sharia law folks and their ability to intimidate the feckless,
cuck white liberals, and Germany has a lot of them,
and their willingness to censor anyone who would criticize the
migration of Middle Eastern Muslims to the country and what's
happened as a result. You've got a tempest in a
(19:06):
teapot there. You've got a real problem on your hands.
And what's left of the German electorate cast a lot
of ods. The AfD did better than the party came
in second. That is sort of the maga you know
of Germany make Germany great again type party. But I
don't know if it's too little, too late. It's going
to be interesting to see. It's going to be very
(19:27):
interesting to see this next one. I include because it's
just it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Booker T.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Jones On is on TikTok posting a video of a
New Yorker happy that Trump is back in the White House. Now,
you might think of New York as being all liberals
because you know Kathy Hochel and all that, But there's
so many people in places like Portland, in places like California,
(19:52):
and in places like New York that are fed up
and they may not consider themselves Republicans, but they love Trump.
And this is what the Republican Party needs to understand.
These are people that are never going to be partisan.
The Mike Pences, the Mitt Romney's, the Jeb Bushes, they
can't get these people's vote, but Trump can. And the
Republican Party, if you want to win, this is how
(20:14):
you do it.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
How happy were you?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And Donald Trump went?
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Yeah, overjoyed it finally happened. Yeah, you know, I mean,
I'm kind of glad they stole the last one because
that basically what happened, because the game four years to
figure out really what the deal is and to sit
back and now how to go down there and punch
everybody in again face. That basically what's going on because
he picked the right people. He's like, I'm getting everybody's
going to be a game pit bull, and we're going
to go down there and we're gonna level this thing.
(20:39):
And we've got to get rid of all this bureauc
and see, I'm going to strike fear into the hearts
to not just people here in the Manica, but the
rest of the world.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right it's like every.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
Day it's like a win, you know what I mean,
It's not one, it's the whole overall effect and every
multiple direction he can And what he's proven is because
politicians in Washington they made everything.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seem like nothing you get done, he's done at all,
they ain't proven.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah yeah, Ken, Yeah, Ken, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
He's here to do it. You know, he's not here
to dilly dally, you know what I mean. We want results.
And he's telling everybody right to the face what he thinks.
I mean, the first day he was there, he's got
people in it, he's signing everything, and a White House
pressure is in the overlookers, holding in asking, answering questions
left right and center on multiple subjects which the last
guy couldn't do, wouldn't do without a health prompt them,
(21:27):
you know. So the guy can discuss everything in any
subject matter in a way, you know, and it's.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Uh, he's here to do it. It's uh.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
It's interesting to see how empowered people feel. And I'll
tell you a big part of this is not partisan
or even ideological. Americans are strong people. We are conquering people.
A lot of people are against imperialism or empower I'm not.
(21:58):
America's influence has spread the world, our movies, our music,
but our constitution, our system of government, America's influence in
the world. A strong America, you know, defending champions of
the two World Wars. That's who Americans see ourselves as.
(22:19):
So when Obama was elected and went on the apology tour,
Americans were very bother. This is not who we are,
This is not how we want our image to be projected.
We're much better than this, We're stronger than this.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
This is going to be five twelve.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Promonis jd Vance speaking at Seapack over the weekend, and
he's talking about young men, and he's basically saying.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Young men need to be men again.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
And this might seem like an obvious thing, but this
needs to be said.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I think that our culture sends a message to young
men that you should suppress every masculine urge, should you
should try to cast aside your family. You should try
to suppress what makes you a young man in the
first place. And I think that my message to young
men is, don't allow this broken culture to send you
(23:20):
a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, because.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You like to tell a joke, because you like to have.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
A beer with your friends, or because you're competitive.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's our.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Like, our message, the cultural message, and I think the
presidents in mine.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Is the exact opposite.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
But our cultural message is I think that it wants
to turn everybody into whether male or female, into androgynists,
idiots who think the same, talk the same, and act
the same. We actually think God made male and female
for a purpose, and we want you guys to thrive
as young men and as young women, and we're going
(24:07):
to help with our public policy to make it possible
to do that.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It kind of goes back to Ricky Gervais when he
was on the view.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
That's the thing about offense, isn't it When people say
they're offended. Just because you're offended, it doesn't mean you're right.
You know. It's offenses about feelings, and feelings are personal.
Some people are offended by equality, so what you know,
so you can't second guess people. If you try and
please everyone, you'll please no one. With comedy as well,
(24:36):
you've got I think you've got to deal with taboos
and content issues, and sometimes you're deal in irony and
some people don't get that. But you know, you can't
legislate against stupidity otherwise you'll be doing nothing, you know,
because I'm not doing it for the two hundred egos
in the room. I'm doing it for the two hundred
million people watching around who aren't winning awards, who aren't millionaires,
and freedom haspach is so important these days. I've reached
(24:57):
the age now where I don't care anymore to not
to joke about all the bad things. That's a waste
because that's exactly what we should joke about. If you
can laugh in the faceboo versity, you're poizar is on.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well done, sir, This is the Michael Verie Show.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Lesterhold stepping down as NBC nightly news anchor. Joy Read
is joyless as she was fired from MSNBC, and folks
are rejoicing that she's out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But here's my strategy on that. I don't want.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Joy Read out because as mad as she makes you,
when for whatever reason you keep going over there to
watch her, well, you don't realize that she makes everybody man.
She doesn't convince anybody. And the more absurd and ridiculous
the claims that she makes, the less believable they are.
And so a lot of folks are uncomfortable with the
(25:57):
idea that a stupid thing can be said and the
world won't come to an end. And it's the basis
of that is that if someone says something stupid, we
have to immediately silence it, or other people will hear
it and then they'll believe it, and then horrible things
will happen.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
But you don't.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
You have to trust that your fellow Americans have more
sense than you would expect. And so then people will
say to me in response, well, no, don't you see,
don't you see and then they point to this or
that dumb person, and don't you see that those people
are in the minority.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I don't know if you noticed. We won the election
even with the cheating.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
You have to trust, I have to do your part
and trust and once you understand that, you you can't
let these people live in your head rent free. And
that's what a lot of people, unfortunately are allowing to happen, is.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That you can't help yourself.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
You got to go see what joy Read's talking about,
and then you watch it and you're very upset. Well,
what's the point of that. She doesn't care whether you
love what she says or hate what she says, as
long as you're reacting to what she says, you understand.
That's how this game, and it is a game. It
(27:24):
is a game for these people. The point for MSNBC
is to figure out some recipe that will that will
glue eyeballs to the show. And it doesn't matter if
that's because you love what they're doing or you hate
what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You know, there the era of the shock jock is over.
But the shock jock.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Era once it started, and there were folks who had
some success with it. Howard Stern would be a great example,
but there were lots more then then that caused other
people to feel like, well, I have to do that
because that's the only way to get attention. Many people
watched Shocked or listened to shock jocks who didn't even
(28:08):
like them. They just listened because it was a train
wreck and they wanted to watch the train wreck.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You have to.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Understand that, whether it's The View or MSNBC or CNN,
or Don Lemon or or Anderson Pooper or any of
these people, their whole existence is getting attention, and when
you give them attention, that is fuel to their fire.
Jasmine Crockett, I mean, this girl should, by all accounts,
(28:43):
be doing something other than being in Congress, and you'd
probably come up with what some of those might be.
She's dumb, but she's not the stupidest person in Congress.
She's smart enough to figure out that if she just
keeps throwing haymakers, if she just keeps saying ridiculous things
(29:03):
very loudly and refuses to shut up. She saw Sheila
Jackson Lee, people would tell me help set, they would
get with Sheila.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, Sheila's a gold mine for me.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Well, you don't want to help her be defeated because
you don't you want her there, No, I'm I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Happy to help her to be defeated.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
I'm happy to do that, but I want you to
understand that the minute Sheila drops, there'll be another one
step in. And right now it's Jasmine Crockett, but she's
not the only one. There's Maxine Waters, there's AOC there's
ilhan Omar, who was calling American stupid this weekend. These
people know what they're doing. Believe it or not, they
are You have to understand the business model of media.
(29:46):
What they're doing is they are polarizing people, and the
matter you get, the more attention they get, because a
lot of people are grudge watching their show and grudge
forwarding it, and so it takes on the life of
its own. A really thoughtful, cerebral, balanced liberal show will die.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It would also be more dangerous.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
You want this craziness because this craziness gets a lot
of attention, but it doesn't move the needle. It doesn't
change people's mindset. People see Jasmine Crockett and they think,
my goodness, what rock did she crawl out from under?
She's a complete dummy, and that's the part she's playing.
(30:39):
I don't think she's as dumb as she pretends to be.
But that mindset gets her a lot of coverage that
because guess what Fox is gonna say, Here's what Jasmine
Crockett did today, and it's fun to ridicule it. The
problem I worry about is the folks who aren't in
(30:59):
on the joke, the folks who don't understand that we
are to ridicule. Those people not get upset at what
they're saying, because in most cases.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They don't even believe it themselves. They don't even believe
it themselves.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
And once you understand that, once you understand that, then
the rest is simple.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
So goodbye, Lester Holt. Don't let the door split you
where the good Lord? Wait, oh, don't let the door
hit you where the Good Lord split you.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
Let's close the segment with NBC's Lester Holt once justifying
the Trump assassination attempt as if Trump was responsible for it.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Today's a parent assassination attempt comes aid increasingly fierce rhetoric
on the campaign trail itself. Mister Trump is running made
JD vans continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants
in Ohio. This weekend, there were new bomb threats in
that town. Our Maggie Vess is in Columbus, Ohio, with
more lesser.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Simply put, Springfield, Ohio has been inundated by threats so
over the last several days, closing government buildings, schools, hospitals.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Today effectively closing a local university campus after administrators said
someone threatened a mass shooting targeting Haitians.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
This in light of officials say a false online conspiracy theory
alleging Haitian immigrants in that city are eating people's pets.
