Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's that time time time time, there's luck and load.
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
President Trump understands, as good coaches, often, good parents, good
leaders do that creating competition makes people better.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So you got big egos in the cabinet.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
At the end of his cabinet meeting's President Trump will
invite the press in and then each cabinet member will
detail the fraud that Doge has found in their department,
and they each want to out do the other, although
they are admit it. Secretary of the Interior Doug Bergham
says he has ended eight hundred third thirty million in
useless surveys.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
As president, there was a Federal Consulting Group, which was
a group inside of Interior, but it was managing contracts
from many different agencies that flowed through here. One of
those contracts was to do surveys of individuals eight hundred
and thirty million dollars for surveys, and so part of
the question was, hey, could we actually see the surveys,
(01:25):
And then the surveys came back and was a survey
was like eight and a half by eleven sheet of
paper with ten questions that anyone's you know, child in
junior high could have put together or AI could have
done for free eight hundred thirty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So that's one one that we've stopped.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And that contract was going out after you were inaugurated, sir,
So it was jumping out frog.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's a fraud.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
My father did not make very much money as a
maintenance worker at the Sabine River Works DuPont plant, which
he worked in Orange, Texas during my upbringing. My mother
did not work because she stayed home to care for us.
That was a luxury we had. It meant that money
(02:16):
was always short. And I'm not poor mouthing. I never
lacked for anything I really needed. I never went to
bed hungry. Now, we might have eaten eggs and toast
for dinner because there was no other food and Dad
wasn't going to get paid yet. But my parents never
bought anything. When I tell you, they didn't buy any.
(02:39):
My mother, my brother and I think how awful this is.
Now we would make fun of my mother because she
had a pair of moccasins.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Indianware was big.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't know if it was just in Texas or
if this was all over the country. It was about
the time of Gillies of Urban Cowboy in the early eighties,
and she had a pair of moccasins she'd bought for
little or nothing, and they had a hole under the
bottom of them, and we would make fun of her. Well,
what a little shi we were for doing that. But
(03:15):
we didn't. I don't know why we did it. I'm
ashamed of it today. My dad for Christmas one year,
we boys pitched in and bought a pair of last
call kind of whatever you call it, Nike shoes. They
were brown on brown. They didn't sell well, so they
(03:36):
were on a deep discount and we were able to
buy them for whatever it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Cost in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Let's say my dad still has those shoes to this day.
Those were his fancy shoes, a pair of basic tennis shoes,
right the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Cheapest of the cheap.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So I don't say all that as some sort of
I've been through war.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I've had a great life. I'm a spoiled brat. I've
had a wonderful life that everything I ever wanted, and
I do well today. I say all that to say
how my brain works. We didn't go back and get
another piece of fried chicken until the bone was dry.
(04:20):
We didn't throw food into the trash can. We didn't
have a disposal.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We didn't need one.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If there was anything left of your dish, you put
it in the fridge and you ate it at another meal.
The concept of waste may bother me more than it
bothers most people. But waste, not want not, waste, filth, disorder.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They are ungodly to me. It is an obsession to me.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And I will tell you over the years, when when
we've done something for a charity, I always say, do
not write the check to me. I don't ever even
want the appearance of impropriety. Write it to them. I
don't want the chann I don't want to be in
the chain of custody. I want you to hand the
check too, directly to the person who's going to get it.
(05:17):
I don't ever want it to be said that I
was improper with the handling of money. So I have
probably a more heightened issue with this. The people at
the Little League should not steal money that was supposed
to be used for the kids uniform. The people at
(05:39):
the school should not steal money that was supposed to
be used for the students the people in the government
should not waste money, and yet they do and there
have never been consequences for it. And it's a type
of personality.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It's a type of.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Personality that is un sound of mine, unclean of life,
and I.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Just have no patience for it. None.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, at the end of the cabinet meeting, President Trump
invites the press in the cabinet members detail the fraud.
EPA administrator. Lee Zelden was next and he says he
canceled two billion.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Dollars going into an NNGO with.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Ties to that fat sweaty Stacey Adam of Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, he has now canceled over twenty two billion dollars
worth of contracts, two billion dollars going to this NGO
that Stacy Abrams was tied to. They received only one
hundred dollars in twenty twenty three, and then the Biden
administration gave them two billion dollars. The director of the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund saw his former employer get five
(06:50):
billion dollars. So twenty billion dollars went to just eight
NGOs and they're all pass throughs. And then they were
giving it to other entities, many of them were pass throughs, and.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What you have all these extra middlemen.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
They're taking their cut and the taxpayer ends up getting screwed.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They're losing out on all this hard earned money.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
They can't afford to have the federal government waste. The
partnership with Doge and Elon Musk has been incredible at EPA.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Their team is very talented.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
We wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
And of course this mandate from President Trump to make
sure we identify every last penny, whether we're saving fifty
thousand dollars, five million dollars, or twenty two billion dollars,
we will not rest until every last penny is saved.
Thank you, mister President, for the opportunity to do this
for the American public.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Years ago, young people, instead of saying bravo, or that's cool,
or there's always some slang, right, the term was righteous.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, when I tell you.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That ending this waste is righteous, I don't mean it's cool,
right on, man, I mean it is righteous in a
biblical sense.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It is proper, it is it is the decent thing.
It is, it is the there I say it, godly thing.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
This is the people's money and it should not be abused.
That that should be a mantra, that should be hard
and fast conjunction.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What's your ounction the Michael Arry Show conjunction?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Junction?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How's that function.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
At the end of the cabinet meetings, President Trump invites
the press in opening the meeting to the public and
those who would report on it, and each cabinet member
details the fraud that DOSE has found in their department.
It creates a very competitive atmosphere where each of them
(08:46):
wants to find more waste. Each of them wants to
show I'm doing my part. This is accountability. Trump understands
these are big egos, play to their ego. So next
in line is Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins, who says she
canceled a contract with New York for.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know what, I don't want to ruin it. I'll
let you tell I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'll let her tell you about the contract that she canceled.
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
We just had a wonderful cabinet meeting. Allligned on certainly
the effort to realign the government.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But even at the.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
US Department of Agriculture, we've canceled three hundred thousand dollars
contract educating on food justice for queer and transgender farmers
in San Francisco. A similar contract we canceled in New York,
again educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice and
food equality. I'm not even sure what that means, but
(09:46):
apparently the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer dollars
towards that. We canceled a six hundred thousand dollars contract
in out of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual cycles
of transgender men.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
A six hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Dollars contract canceled. Another contract out of a university in
the middle of the country that focused on getting more diversity, equity,
and inclusion into our pest management industry. Again, these are nonsensical.
It makes zero sense to use taxpayer dollars to fund these.
I know. These are just a few examples of the
hundreds and hundreds that we have found.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
President Trump then turned his attention to Elon Musk. What
we are witnessing with the terrorism against Tesla should be
dealt with most harshly. These people should be arrested if
they resist, violence should be visited upon them until they submit.
(10:48):
They should then be prosecuted. They should be tormented and
tortured as the January sixth protesters were doing nothing. An
example should be made of the Tesla terrorists. But you
know President Trump. President Trump, as part of his messaging,
(11:14):
he uses the media to share his message, even against
their wishes. Sometimes he says a lot by what he
doesn't say, and he knows that it will get to
its eventual audience. It's like the old telephone game where
you'd say something to the next person that you whisper it,
and he knows how to manipulate that game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And see if you can tell what he's doing here.
He has never asked me for a thing. He could have.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I always say, I wonder if he's ever gonna ask
me for something, and that's always subject to change, and
if it does change, I'll let you know about it.
But Elon has never asked me for a thing. I mean,
I got rid of the electric car mandate. I have
no idea how that affects him, but possibly not good.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
But he's never asked me for a thing, and I
think that's an amazing tribute. I did get activated last
week when I saw what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I said, he makes an.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Incredible product, and we're going to go out and tell
people you can't do that stuff and support him.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
They got to support him.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Because if he wasn't doing this, he wouldn't have any
of these difficulties. And I think it's getting less and less.
Pam has done a great job with regard to all
of the you know, I mean, I know the kind
of investigations that are going on. If she finds them,
which you will say, found four of them, but I
think they're going to suffer very grave consequences because they're
really terrorists when you think about it. They're very terrorists
(12:39):
at a high level. And I think the people that
are financing them they could very well be people, I know,
people that you write about. But those people are in
big trouble, so they better cut it out. But Elon's
a patriot. We want to thank you very much for
the job.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Thank you for see it. It's Harry.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Is seemingly far less lefty and nutty than the rest
of the folks at CNN.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
He keeps.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Detailing these polls that show that Americans support Trump and
support Elon and don't support the left. And Scott Jennings
is the most compelling thing on TV. I don't watch it,
but I watch all the clips. Our team pulls them
for me. And here is CNN's Harry Entton talking about
(13:32):
the fact that Elon is doing this for no pay,
with not only no benefit to him, but he is
hurting his core business, which is Tesla. And you know
that board is over there giving him grief, going, look,
you're hurting our investment here. Although I think the stock
price I didn't check it today, yesterday's stock price started
(13:54):
popping back up. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla weathers
this storm in up stronger than it was before. I
have a sneaking suspicion that may end up being the case,
not because not just because of Tesla, but because I
don't think Rivian is a sustainable model. In fact, I
don't think any of the other electric car companies are sustainable.
(14:18):
It's just a question of when they go under. And
when they go under, I think some of those buyers
end up with a Tesla, And Tesla has other including robotics,
technology and AI that I think are going to be
kind of like Amazon didn't make money until it made
a fortune. I think Tesla's going to turn out to
(14:39):
be that with some of these technolo when they monetize
these technological advancements, I have rarely ever.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Seen any change of perception as dramatic as this one.
I mean Elon Musk and at Fabriull rating, it's dropped
from plus twenty four to minus nineteen overall, from twenty
seventeen to twenty twenty five. And these look at the
among Democrats, he used to be beloved by Democrat plus
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Look where it is now minus ninety one points. And
then at fairwar and that is a movement of over
one hundred and twenty points in the negative direction, falling
through the floor. Now among Republicans he has gone up
from plus eighteen to plus fifty one. But that doesn't
all make up for.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
The gap that the Democrats have completely fallen off the rails.
For Elon Muskin, among Independence that drop has been from
plus seventeen to minus seventeen. Look, Donald Trump isn't the
most popular president in the world, but he is far.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
More popular than Elon Muskin.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
So we've been focused a lot on what this all
means for the country, as Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Exercise a certain amount of power.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
But another question is what does it mean for Elon
Musk and his companies. Now, we can't be sure there's
a one for one parallel here, but we are seeing activity.
We're absolutely seeing activity. I mean you can see this
in terms of new registrations for Tesla's in the United
States car registrations in twenty twenty four versus twenty twenty three.
Look at that, down five percent. I was interested, did
that move and continue in the new year? Absolutely, if
(15:57):
anything had accelerated. Look at this new car registrations down
eleven percent. And this has occurred as other ev carmakers
have seen their registrations go up, and it has also
occurred as Tesla's registrations and the people buying Tesla's worldwide
has also dropped. It's not just a US phenomena in
ten seconds are less. Part of the reason is who
buys evs. That's exactly right, who buys evs. Look at this,
The share of ev owners who are Republicans just twenty percent.
(16:19):
When you're falling with Democrats, falling with independence, you're giving
up a large share of the market. And that is
a big reason why Tesla is struggling, and Elon Musk
is certainly at least driving a little bit.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Of very show.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Michael the Wall, Governor of Minnesota. The wards of two,
the founder of the Minnesota based Feeding Our Future nonprofit,
has been convicted or what is now being called the
(16:51):
nation's single largest fraud scheme of COVID relief funds, more
than two hundred and fifty million dollars stolen. Two five
zero Governor Tim Waltz turned a blind eye because of
his political connections with the ringleaders.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
ABC News with the story.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
A jury in Minnesota has found the ringleader of what's
been called the largest pandemic era fraud scheme in the
country guilty on all charges. Amy Bach, the founder of
Feeding our Future, now convicted in a plot that stole
nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars from a federal
program meant to feed children in need.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Her efforts to lie, to blame others, to escape responsibility
all came to an end. What Bach and her co
defendants did was reprehensible.
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Back along with co defendant Salem Sayid, convicted on conspiracy,
wire fraud, and bribery charges. They're two of seventy defendants
accused of falsifying meal counts invoices and attendance rosters claiming
to have served food to thousands of kids per day
cross Minnesota, all to get reimbursed with hundreds of millions
of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
These are criminals that preyed on a system that was
meant to feed children.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Instead of feeding children, bach and said allegedly created dozens
of shell companies to receive the money and launder it,
all to fund their lavish lifestyles buying luxury cars in
real estate.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Authorities so far.
Speaker 11 (18:24):
Have recouped only sixty million of the two hundred and
fifty million dollars stolen.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And Tim Walls will be bringing his celebrity status for
the Democrat Party right here to Houston Well Sugarland on
Thursday in Rosenberg. Somewhere in Rosenberg. They're not going to
release the location until the day before. He and Beto
(18:53):
o Rourt. Now were there ever two more stallward powerhouse
Democrats coming to sugar Land for a town hall?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Uh, I'm not joking.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
CNN presents a thrilling sugar Land Showcase Thursday night town
hall event featuring Timmy Walls. I think we all agree
on this issue.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Co Zero will never be the bad.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
Sugar and Beto O Roy I want to thank everyone
who actually thought I was aspected, discussing what matters most too,
what just happened.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Maybe go with the earlier version. I think the edit
was wrong, but it's a true story.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
The point is it's a true story that Tim Waltz
and Beto O'Rourke will be in Sugarland on Thursday for
a town hall.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah do it?
Speaker 12 (19:58):
Yeah, Just started Over presents a thrilling sugar Land showcase
Thursday night townhall event featuring Timmy Walls.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think we all agree on this issue.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Coke THEO will never be the bath.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
Sugar and Beto O Roor I want to thank everyone
who actually thought I was respected.
Speaker 12 (20:23):
Discussing what matters most to want to be leaders of
the floundering Democratic Party on one stage. Seriously, this is
really happening almost well, this is a sweeter than a
sugar silo.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
Oh Roor eats his tacos with a forest almost together
sharing Wednesday.
Speaker 12 (20:48):
Hey Texas, time puts some extra sugar in my tank.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
And headed your way.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
What's happening right now is that losing the election in
November and new polls showing a favorable rating of twenty
nine percent or Democrats thirty four percent for Republicans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
This is as a brand.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
The Democrat brand is far below the Republicans, and they're
unfavorable as well. Above fifty. They are spotting that Tim
Walls is spotting. They are noticing that there is an opportunity.
(21:36):
The one thing that happens in nature is that a
void will be filled. This is true from Castle Rick
and a Castlereat in Metternich in eighteen twelve in Vienna.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It is true in World War Two.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Where there is a power vacuum, it will be filled.
Someone will step into It doesn't matter if they're the best.
They may be the boldest, they may be the most ambitious.
In November, the Democrats were trounced, and it's not lost
(22:16):
on them, and we'd like to believe they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
They know Kamala was a terrible candidate. They know it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They know that Schumer is a bad look. They know
that Nancy is just going to kill over one day.
She's she's she's been there for too long, and they
realize they don't have a B team A Keem Jefferies.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
If that's what the Farm Club is bringing up.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's going to be a problem. He's he's not, He's not.
No one's going to gravitate to him. So into that
void have lurched aoc Tim Walls, and you would say,
as I would say, is that who's gonna be y'all's leader?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I hope so.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Jasmine Crockett is on TV every night, and I know
some people go crazy. You want her, ONTI, you want
Middle America to see Jasmine Crockett saying.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'm gonna hit ted cruising his head. I'm gonna hit
hitting his head, work on his face. That's what you want.
This is great to Michael Berry shown sing Monroebless, Love,
Johnny Carson.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And Separate, and aside from enjoying watching his show, he
has the deepest admiration for the way the man, for
the influence the man had, for the longevity, and for
the fact that that really the the it was.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It was an institution what he created.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
At the end of the day, it's a guy sitting
behind a desk and everybody trying to sell their book
or their movie or their album, you know, agreeing to
come on and you know cut jokes. He elevated that
art to a whole different level. But he was criticized
(24:25):
because he refused to get dragged into political commentary social commentary,
and that upset people because they wanted him to say
out of his mouth what they wanted him to say.
What he understood that the value of what he did
(24:50):
was relative to providing a place people could come to
get away from that. This is what the left has
destroyed a lot of careers in this country by intimidating
people or coaxing people into offering stupid political commentary and
(25:13):
in some cases cultural commentary about things they know nothing
and in the process turning off their core audience.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, you think.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
About what happened to bud Light. I was telling a
friend this the other day. I haven't seen a person
order a bud Light in over a year. And I
will tell you that for working class whites and Hispanics,
bud Light. In my circles, bud Light was the dominant
(25:47):
brand by far. It was everywhere, and people had a
loyalty to that brand. If they brought a nice chest
to an event, they brought bud Light.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
And now.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's a running joke and people say that because they
think I think politics all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Is if we're somewhere they'll say, hey, Bob, don't order
bud Light Michael's ear. I don't care what you order,
what you want. But when you think about how an
employee at bud Light allowed the dude dressed as a
girl to do what he did, and all under the
(26:28):
auspices of bud Light, and how much money that cost,
how many careers were destroyed, and by the way the
careers destroyed are people working on the line and people
delivering and people investing. Nobody wanted to hear bud Light's
view on whether a boy dressed as a girl is
(26:50):
a good thing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They just wanted a beer, right.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
The old joke goes when somebody offers a very heated
monologue about a political subject is to say, okay, would
you like fries with that? As if you've just driven
up to the drive through and shouted a bunch of
stuff when all the person on the other side.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Needed was your order.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
The problem becomes that politics has become the way it's
conducted is a sport, but politics has become a proxy.
It has become a replacement for a personality, for a
real identity, And so you have a lot of people
(27:40):
and this is what white liberal women have fallen into.
You have a lot of white liberal women that are
extremely insecure and they're neurotic, and they're raised not knowing.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Am I supposed to be? Pretty? Am I supposed to
be a boy? Am I supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And they don't deal well with it, and what they're
getting a lot of stimuli from from people around them
becomes this sort of angry and so then what you
get is you end up with these thirty year old women,
thirty five year old women who have their degree, maybe
more than one, and they've had a lot of sexual
(28:20):
partners because lord knows, they're not going to only have
one sexual partner that's so repressed like their mother, and
they don't have a long term relationship because that would
be so repressed like their mother or worse, their grandmother.
So they have sexual freedom and free partners, and they're
just like a guy, and they can screw what they want.
(28:42):
And they wake up one day uncertain, uncertain, ill at ease, miserable, miserable,
and then they need an outlet for that anger. And
the outlet for that anger becomes Donald Trump and every
other white man of power. And that's what you see.
(29:05):
That's who's keying the cars, Adam Carolla. Adam Carolla had
a funny bit the funny line the other day. He said,
every chick I know can't ever find her keys. Where
are these women getting the keys to key these cars?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
It's a good point.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So all that introduction to pay tribute to Johnny Carson
for just providing late night entertainment and for being confident
enough in who he was to say, you're not going
to drag me into your political crap.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can you get says about.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
The fact that people say he'll never take a serious controversy, Well,
I have an answer to that. I said, no, tell
me the last time that Jack Benny Fridge Skelton uh
Benny comedian show to do serious issues.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's not what I'm living for. Can't they see that?
But you and I do.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show,
that you must deal.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
In serious issues. That's a danger. It's a real danger.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Once you start that, do you start to forget that
self important feeling that's what you say has.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Great import And you know, strangely enough, you.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Could use that show as a form you could sway people,
and I don't think you should as an.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Entertainer I say all that to say this to you.
Be true to who you are, Be true to what
your brand is. We all have a brand, whether you
realize or not. My wife, my wife does not work
outside the home any longer. She has a brand. She's mom.
She's the person my kids can talk to about anything, anytime,
(30:49):
no judgment, no lecture.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Not my brand. Don't want it to be my brand.
It works. We're the ying and the yang.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
She's the one who's going to be more forgiving if
you make a mistake, Dad's going to be more firm.
That's okay, good cop, bad cop. If you're a teacher,
if you're a clerk, if you're a pastor, you're a
small business owner, you're a cop. If you're the crossing guard,
you have a brand. That's mister Jones, He's real sweet.
(31:18):
Whatever you do, you have a brand, be true to
that brand. That's how you'll be remembered. That's how people
will describe you to other people before they meet you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Don't get dragged.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Into well, this is what you're supposed to do, This
is what you have to do.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Be the parent you need to be.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
People tell me all the time, man, my kids are
so different than how my parents? Why, well, you can't
parent like my parent? Why not I parent like my
parents do. Yes, I'm probably a lot more harsh than
other people.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
That's okay. Not an't were the moccasins. It's true.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But be true to who you are Johnny Carson was.
He was the secret of his success. Be bold enough
to trust yourself. Don't let other people tell you who
you are, who you should date, what you should wear,
what you should do for a living, what you should say,
what you should come be. You be the best you
(32:13):
you can be by God made you.
It's that time time time time, there's luck and load.
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
President Trump understands, as good coaches, often, good parents, good
leaders do that creating competition makes people better.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So you got big egos in the cabinet.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
At the end of his cabinet meeting's President Trump will
invite the press in and then each cabinet member will
detail the fraud that Doge has found in their department,
and they each want to out do the other, although
they are admit it. Secretary of the Interior Doug Bergham
says he has ended eight hundred third thirty million in
useless surveys.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
As president, there was a Federal Consulting Group, which was
a group inside of Interior, but it was managing contracts
from many different agencies that flowed through here. One of
those contracts was to do surveys of individuals eight hundred
and thirty million dollars for surveys, and so part of
the question was, hey, could we actually see the surveys,
(01:25):
And then the surveys came back and was a survey
was like eight and a half by eleven sheet of
paper with ten questions that anyone's you know, child in
junior high could have put together or AI could have
done for free eight hundred thirty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So that's one one that we've stopped.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And that contract was going out after you were inaugurated, sir,
So it was jumping out frog.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's a fraud.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
My father did not make very much money as a
maintenance worker at the Sabine River Works DuPont plant, which
he worked in Orange, Texas during my upbringing. My mother
did not work because she stayed home to care for us.
That was a luxury we had. It meant that money
(02:16):
was always short. And I'm not poor mouthing. I never
lacked for anything I really needed. I never went to
bed hungry. Now, we might have eaten eggs and toast
for dinner because there was no other food and Dad
wasn't going to get paid yet. But my parents never
bought anything. When I tell you, they didn't buy any.
(02:39):
My mother, my brother and I think how awful this is.
Now we would make fun of my mother because she
had a pair of moccasins.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Indianware was big.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't know if it was just in Texas or
if this was all over the country. It was about
the time of Gillies of Urban Cowboy in the early eighties,
and she had a pair of moccasins she'd bought for
little or nothing, and they had a hole under the
bottom of them, and we would make fun of her. Well,
what a little shi we were for doing that. But
(03:15):
we didn't. I don't know why we did it. I'm
ashamed of it today. My dad for Christmas one year,
we boys pitched in and bought a pair of last
call kind of whatever you call it, Nike shoes. They
were brown on brown. They didn't sell well, so they
(03:36):
were on a deep discount and we were able to
buy them for whatever it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Cost in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Let's say my dad still has those shoes to this day.
Those were his fancy shoes, a pair of basic tennis shoes,
right the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Cheapest of the cheap.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So I don't say all that as some sort of
I've been through war.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I've had a great life. I'm a spoiled brat. I've
had a wonderful life that everything I ever wanted, and
I do well today. I say all that to say
how my brain works. We didn't go back and get
another piece of fried chicken until the bone was dry.
(04:20):
We didn't throw food into the trash can. We didn't
have a disposal.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We didn't need one.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If there was anything left of your dish, you put
it in the fridge and you ate it at another meal.
The concept of waste may bother me more than it
bothers most people. But waste, not want not, waste, filth, disorder.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They are ungodly to me. It is an obsession to me.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And I will tell you over the years, when when
we've done something for a charity, I always say, do
not write the check to me. I don't ever even
want the appearance of impropriety. Write it to them. I
don't want the chann I don't want to be in
the chain of custody. I want you to hand the
check too, directly to the person who's going to get it.
(05:17):
I don't ever want it to be said that I
was improper with the handling of money. So I have
probably a more heightened issue with this. The people at
the Little League should not steal money that was supposed
to be used for the kids uniform. The people at
(05:39):
the school should not steal money that was supposed to
be used for the students the people in the government
should not waste money, and yet they do and there
have never been consequences for it. And it's a type
of personality.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It's a type of.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Personality that is un sound of mine, unclean of life,
and I.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Just have no patience for it. None.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, at the end of the cabinet meeting, President Trump
invites the press in the cabinet members detail the fraud.
EPA administrator. Lee Zelden was next and he says he
canceled two billion.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Dollars going into an NNGO with.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Ties to that fat sweaty Stacey Adam of Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, he has now canceled over twenty two billion dollars
worth of contracts, two billion dollars going to this NGO
that Stacy Abrams was tied to. They received only one
hundred dollars in twenty twenty three, and then the Biden
administration gave them two billion dollars. The director of the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund saw his former employer get five
(06:50):
billion dollars. So twenty billion dollars went to just eight
NGOs and they're all pass throughs. And then they were
giving it to other entities, many of them were pass throughs, and.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What you have all these extra middlemen.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
They're taking their cut and the taxpayer ends up getting screwed.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They're losing out on all this hard earned money.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
They can't afford to have the federal government waste. The
partnership with Doge and Elon Musk has been incredible at EPA.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Their team is very talented.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
We wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
And of course this mandate from President Trump to make
sure we identify every last penny, whether we're saving fifty
thousand dollars, five million dollars, or twenty two billion dollars,
we will not rest until every last penny is saved.
Thank you, mister President, for the opportunity to do this
for the American public.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Years ago, young people, instead of saying bravo, or that's cool,
or there's always some slang, right, the term was righteous.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, when I tell you.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That ending this waste is righteous, I don't mean it's cool,
right on, man, I mean it is righteous in a
biblical sense.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It is proper, it is it is the decent thing.
It is, it is the there I say it, godly thing.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
This is the people's money and it should not be abused.
That that should be a mantra, that should be hard
and fast conjunction.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What's your ounction the Michael Arry Show conjunction?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Junction?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How's that function.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
At the end of the cabinet meetings, President Trump invites
the press in opening the meeting to the public and
those who would report on it, and each cabinet member
details the fraud that DOSE has found in their department.
It creates a very competitive atmosphere where each of them
(08:46):
wants to find more waste. Each of them wants to
show I'm doing my part. This is accountability. Trump understands
these are big egos, play to their ego. So next
in line is Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins, who says she
canceled a contract with New York for.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know what, I don't want to ruin it. I'll
let you tell I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'll let her tell you about the contract that she canceled.
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
We just had a wonderful cabinet meeting. Allligned on certainly
the effort to realign the government.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But even at the.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
US Department of Agriculture, we've canceled three hundred thousand dollars
contract educating on food justice for queer and transgender farmers
in San Francisco. A similar contract we canceled in New York,
again educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice and
food equality. I'm not even sure what that means, but
(09:46):
apparently the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer dollars
towards that. We canceled a six hundred thousand dollars contract
in out of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual cycles
of transgender men.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
A six hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Dollars contract canceled. Another contract out of a university in
the middle of the country that focused on getting more diversity, equity,
and inclusion into our pest management industry. Again, these are nonsensical.
It makes zero sense to use taxpayer dollars to fund these.
I know. These are just a few examples of the
hundreds and hundreds that we have found.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
President Trump then turned his attention to Elon Musk. What
we are witnessing with the terrorism against Tesla should be
dealt with most harshly. These people should be arrested if
they resist, violence should be visited upon them until they submit.
(10:48):
They should then be prosecuted. They should be tormented and
tortured as the January sixth protesters were doing nothing. An
example should be made of the Tesla terrorists. But you
know President Trump. President Trump, as part of his messaging,
(11:14):
he uses the media to share his message, even against
their wishes. Sometimes he says a lot by what he
doesn't say, and he knows that it will get to
its eventual audience. It's like the old telephone game where
you'd say something to the next person that you whisper it,
and he knows how to manipulate that game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And see if you can tell what he's doing here.
He has never asked me for a thing. He could have.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I always say, I wonder if he's ever gonna ask
me for something, and that's always subject to change, and
if it does change, I'll let you know about it.
But Elon has never asked me for a thing. I mean,
I got rid of the electric car mandate. I have
no idea how that affects him, but possibly not good.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
But he's never asked me for a thing, and I
think that's an amazing tribute. I did get activated last
week when I saw what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I said, he makes an.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Incredible product, and we're going to go out and tell
people you can't do that stuff and support him.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
They got to support him.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Because if he wasn't doing this, he wouldn't have any
of these difficulties. And I think it's getting less and less.
Pam has done a great job with regard to all
of the you know, I mean, I know the kind
of investigations that are going on. If she finds them,
which you will say, found four of them, but I
think they're going to suffer very grave consequences because they're
really terrorists when you think about it. They're very terrorists
(12:39):
at a high level. And I think the people that
are financing them they could very well be people, I know,
people that you write about. But those people are in
big trouble, so they better cut it out. But Elon's
a patriot. We want to thank you very much for
the job.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Thank you for see it. It's Harry.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Is seemingly far less lefty and nutty than the rest
of the folks at CNN.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
He keeps.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Detailing these polls that show that Americans support Trump and
support Elon and don't support the left. And Scott Jennings
is the most compelling thing on TV. I don't watch it,
but I watch all the clips. Our team pulls them
for me. And here is CNN's Harry Entton talking about
(13:32):
the fact that Elon is doing this for no pay,
with not only no benefit to him, but he is
hurting his core business, which is Tesla. And you know
that board is over there giving him grief, going, look,
you're hurting our investment here. Although I think the stock
price I didn't check it today, yesterday's stock price started
(13:54):
popping back up. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla weathers
this storm in up stronger than it was before. I
have a sneaking suspicion that may end up being the case,
not because not just because of Tesla, but because I
don't think Rivian is a sustainable model. In fact, I
don't think any of the other electric car companies are sustainable.
(14:18):
It's just a question of when they go under. And
when they go under, I think some of those buyers
end up with a Tesla, And Tesla has other including robotics,
technology and AI that I think are going to be
kind of like Amazon didn't make money until it made
a fortune. I think Tesla's going to turn out to
(14:39):
be that with some of these technolo when they monetize
these technological advancements, I have rarely ever.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Seen any change of perception as dramatic as this one.
I mean Elon Musk and at Fabriull rating, it's dropped
from plus twenty four to minus nineteen overall, from twenty
seventeen to twenty twenty five. And these look at the
among Democrats, he used to be beloved by Democrat plus
thirty five.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Look where it is now minus ninety one points. And
then at fairwar and that is a movement of over
one hundred and twenty points in the negative direction, falling
through the floor. Now among Republicans he has gone up
from plus eighteen to plus fifty one. But that doesn't
all make up for.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
The gap that the Democrats have completely fallen off the rails.
For Elon Muskin, among Independence that drop has been from
plus seventeen to minus seventeen. Look, Donald Trump isn't the
most popular president in the world, but he is far.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
More popular than Elon Muskin.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
So we've been focused a lot on what this all
means for the country, as Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Exercise a certain amount of power.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
But another question is what does it mean for Elon
Musk and his companies. Now, we can't be sure there's
a one for one parallel here, but we are seeing activity.
We're absolutely seeing activity. I mean you can see this
in terms of new registrations for Tesla's in the United
States car registrations in twenty twenty four versus twenty twenty three.
Look at that, down five percent. I was interested, did
that move and continue in the new year? Absolutely, if
(15:57):
anything had accelerated. Look at this new car registrations down
eleven percent. And this has occurred as other ev carmakers
have seen their registrations go up, and it has also
occurred as Tesla's registrations and the people buying Tesla's worldwide
has also dropped. It's not just a US phenomena in
ten seconds are less. Part of the reason is who
buys evs. That's exactly right, who buys evs. Look at this,
The share of ev owners who are Republicans just twenty percent.
(16:19):
When you're falling with Democrats, falling with independence, you're giving
up a large share of the market. And that is
a big reason why Tesla is struggling, and Elon Musk
is certainly at least driving a little bit.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Of very show.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Michael the Wall, Governor of Minnesota. The wards of two,
the founder of the Minnesota based Feeding Our Future nonprofit,
has been convicted or what is now being called the
(16:51):
nation's single largest fraud scheme of COVID relief funds, more
than two hundred and fifty million dollars stolen. Two five
zero Governor Tim Waltz turned a blind eye because of
his political connections with the ringleaders.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
ABC News with the story.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
A jury in Minnesota has found the ringleader of what's
been called the largest pandemic era fraud scheme in the
country guilty on all charges. Amy Bach, the founder of
Feeding our Future, now convicted in a plot that stole
nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars from a federal
program meant to feed children in need.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Her efforts to lie, to blame others, to escape responsibility
all came to an end. What Bach and her co
defendants did was reprehensible.
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Back along with co defendant Salem Sayid, convicted on conspiracy,
wire fraud, and bribery charges. They're two of seventy defendants
accused of falsifying meal counts invoices and attendance rosters claiming
to have served food to thousands of kids per day
cross Minnesota, all to get reimbursed with hundreds of millions
of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:05):
These are criminals that preyed on a system that was
meant to feed children.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Instead of feeding children, bach and said allegedly created dozens
of shell companies to receive the money and launder it,
all to fund their lavish lifestyles buying luxury cars in
real estate.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Authorities so far.
Speaker 11 (18:24):
Have recouped only sixty million of the two hundred and
fifty million dollars stolen.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And Tim Walls will be bringing his celebrity status for
the Democrat Party right here to Houston Well Sugarland on
Thursday in Rosenberg. Somewhere in Rosenberg. They're not going to
release the location until the day before. He and Beto
(18:53):
o Rourt. Now were there ever two more stallward powerhouse
Democrats coming to sugar Land for a town hall?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Uh, I'm not joking.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
CNN presents a thrilling sugar Land Showcase Thursday night town
hall event featuring Timmy Walls. I think we all agree
on this issue.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Co Zero will never be the bad.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
Sugar and Beto O Roy I want to thank everyone
who actually thought I was aspected, discussing what matters most too,
what just happened.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Maybe go with the earlier version. I think the edit
was wrong, but it's a true story.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
The point is it's a true story that Tim Waltz
and Beto O'Rourke will be in Sugarland on Thursday for
a town hall.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah do it?
Speaker 12 (19:58):
Yeah, Just started Over presents a thrilling sugar Land showcase
Thursday night townhall event featuring Timmy Walls.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think we all agree on this issue.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Coke THEO will never be the bath.
Speaker 13 (20:15):
Sugar and Beto O Roor I want to thank everyone
who actually thought I was respected.
Speaker 12 (20:23):
Discussing what matters most to want to be leaders of
the floundering Democratic Party on one stage. Seriously, this is
really happening almost well, this is a sweeter than a
sugar silo.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
Oh Roor eats his tacos with a forest almost together
sharing Wednesday.
Speaker 12 (20:48):
Hey Texas, time puts some extra sugar in my tank.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
And headed your way.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
What's happening right now is that losing the election in
November and new polls showing a favorable rating of twenty
nine percent or Democrats thirty four percent for Republicans.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
This is as a brand.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
The Democrat brand is far below the Republicans, and they're
unfavorable as well. Above fifty. They are spotting that Tim
Walls is spotting. They are noticing that there is an opportunity.
(21:36):
The one thing that happens in nature is that a
void will be filled. This is true from Castle Rick
and a Castlereat in Metternich in eighteen twelve in Vienna.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It is true in World War Two.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Where there is a power vacuum, it will be filled.
Someone will step into It doesn't matter if they're the best.
They may be the boldest, they may be the most ambitious.
In November, the Democrats were trounced, and it's not lost
(22:16):
on them, and we'd like to believe they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
They know Kamala was a terrible candidate. They know it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
They know that Schumer is a bad look. They know
that Nancy is just going to kill over one day.
She's she's she's been there for too long, and they
realize they don't have a B team A Keem Jefferies.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
If that's what the Farm Club is bringing up.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's going to be a problem. He's he's not, He's not.
No one's going to gravitate to him. So into that
void have lurched aoc Tim Walls, and you would say,
as I would say, is that who's gonna be y'all's leader?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I hope so.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Jasmine Crockett is on TV every night, and I know
some people go crazy. You want her, ONTI, you want
Middle America to see Jasmine Crockett saying.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I'm gonna hit ted cruising his head. I'm gonna hit
hitting his head, work on his face. That's what you want.
This is great to Michael Berry shown sing Monroebless, Love,
Johnny Carson.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And Separate, and aside from enjoying watching his show, he
has the deepest admiration for the way the man, for
the influence the man had, for the longevity, and for
the fact that that really the the it was.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It was an institution what he created.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
At the end of the day, it's a guy sitting
behind a desk and everybody trying to sell their book
or their movie or their album, you know, agreeing to
come on and you know cut jokes. He elevated that
art to a whole different level. But he was criticized
(24:25):
because he refused to get dragged into political commentary social commentary,
and that upset people because they wanted him to say
out of his mouth what they wanted him to say.
What he understood that the value of what he did
(24:50):
was relative to providing a place people could come to
get away from that. This is what the left has
destroyed a lot of careers in this country by intimidating
people or coaxing people into offering stupid political commentary and
(25:13):
in some cases cultural commentary about things they know nothing
and in the process turning off their core audience.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, you think.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
About what happened to bud Light. I was telling a
friend this the other day. I haven't seen a person
order a bud Light in over a year. And I
will tell you that for working class whites and Hispanics,
bud Light. In my circles, bud Light was the dominant
(25:47):
brand by far. It was everywhere, and people had a
loyalty to that brand. If they brought a nice chest
to an event, they brought bud Light.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
And now.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's a running joke and people say that because they
think I think politics all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Is if we're somewhere they'll say, hey, Bob, don't order
bud Light Michael's ear. I don't care what you order,
what you want. But when you think about how an
employee at bud Light allowed the dude dressed as a
girl to do what he did, and all under the
(26:28):
auspices of bud Light, and how much money that cost,
how many careers were destroyed, and by the way the
careers destroyed are people working on the line and people
delivering and people investing. Nobody wanted to hear bud Light's
view on whether a boy dressed as a girl is
(26:50):
a good thing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They just wanted a beer, right.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
The old joke goes when somebody offers a very heated
monologue about a political subject is to say, okay, would
you like fries with that? As if you've just driven
up to the drive through and shouted a bunch of
stuff when all the person on the other side.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Needed was your order.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
The problem becomes that politics has become the way it's
conducted is a sport, but politics has become a proxy.
It has become a replacement for a personality, for a
real identity, And so you have a lot of people
(27:40):
and this is what white liberal women have fallen into.
You have a lot of white liberal women that are
extremely insecure and they're neurotic, and they're raised not knowing.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Am I supposed to be? Pretty? Am I supposed to
be a boy? Am I supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And they don't deal well with it, and what they're
getting a lot of stimuli from from people around them
becomes this sort of angry and so then what you
get is you end up with these thirty year old women,
thirty five year old women who have their degree, maybe
more than one, and they've had a lot of sexual
(28:20):
partners because lord knows, they're not going to only have
one sexual partner that's so repressed like their mother, and
they don't have a long term relationship because that would
be so repressed like their mother or worse, their grandmother.
So they have sexual freedom and free partners, and they're
just like a guy, and they can screw what they want.
(28:42):
And they wake up one day uncertain, uncertain, ill at ease, miserable, miserable,
and then they need an outlet for that anger. And
the outlet for that anger becomes Donald Trump and every
other white man of power. And that's what you see.
(29:05):
That's who's keying the cars, Adam Carolla. Adam Carolla had
a funny bit the funny line the other day. He said,
every chick I know can't ever find her keys. Where
are these women getting the keys to key these cars?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
It's a good point.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So all that introduction to pay tribute to Johnny Carson
for just providing late night entertainment and for being confident
enough in who he was to say, you're not going
to drag me into your political crap.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can you get says about.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
The fact that people say he'll never take a serious controversy, Well,
I have an answer to that. I said, no, tell
me the last time that Jack Benny Fridge Skelton uh
Benny comedian show to do serious issues.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's not what I'm living for. Can't they see that?
But you and I do.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show,
that you must deal.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
In serious issues. That's a danger. It's a real danger.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
Once you start that, do you start to forget that
self important feeling that's what you say has.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Great import And you know, strangely enough, you.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Could use that show as a form you could sway people,
and I don't think you should as an.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Entertainer I say all that to say this to you.
Be true to who you are, Be true to what
your brand is. We all have a brand, whether you
realize or not. My wife, my wife does not work
outside the home any longer. She has a brand. She's mom.
She's the person my kids can talk to about anything, anytime,
(30:49):
no judgment, no lecture.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Not my brand. Don't want it to be my brand.
It works. We're the ying and the yang.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
She's the one who's going to be more forgiving if
you make a mistake, Dad's going to be more firm.
That's okay, good cop, bad cop. If you're a teacher,
if you're a clerk, if you're a pastor, you're a
small business owner, you're a cop. If you're the crossing guard,
you have a brand. That's mister Jones, He's real sweet.
(31:18):
Whatever you do, you have a brand, be true to
that brand. That's how you'll be remembered. That's how people
will describe you to other people before they meet you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Don't get dragged.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Into well, this is what you're supposed to do, This
is what you have to do.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Be the parent you need to be.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
People tell me all the time, man, my kids are
so different than how my parents? Why, well, you can't
parent like my parent? Why not I parent like my
parents do. Yes, I'm probably a lot more harsh than
other people.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
That's okay. Not an't were the moccasins. It's true.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
But be true to who you are Johnny Carson was.
He was the secret of his success. Be bold enough
to trust yourself. Don't let other people tell you who
you are, who you should date, what you should wear,
what you should do for a living, what you should say,
what you should come be. You be the best you
(32:13):
you can be by God made you.
