Throwing Rey Wiy Hubbard sing along to mother any blues

Speaker 3 (01:10):
No chus staying sober.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
I can feel a good.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
One coming off.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Man, we gonna captain feeling and we gonna keep this higher.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I can feel the greg and no, I can feel
a good one coming.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
It's a highlight for us every year to mark special occasions.
Three minds, Christmas, the Birth of Christ, Thanksgiving. When we stop,
and as my Bible teaches me, count our blessings. One
of my favorite versus of one of my favorite hymns
(02:00):
growing up was counter blessings, naming them one by one,
counter blessings. See what God had done, and I think
it is good to be grateful. The idea of taking
stock of your life. You know, so many people, particularly
on the left. Sometimes this infects our people as well.
(02:22):
They get lost in misery, They get swallowed up in
what is not.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Rather than what is.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
However much money they have is not as much money
as somebody else, and so greed and jealousy gealousy, I'll
caho it. Greed in, jealousy creep in. And the way
to cope with that they don't think, well, I'll go
make more money. They will because they may have failed
at that. They will hope that the government will take
money from other people. Or I might be pretty, but
(02:54):
I'm not pretty enough. I'm as pretty as that person,
or I'm not as pretty as I once was when
I was younger, or I'm fatter than I used to be,
or I don't have the energy. All of these things
creep into our lives. And while we should be in
a constant struggle to work harder, build more, struggle more,
(03:16):
survive more, help others do more, it is good to
stop and be grateful. And that's the meaning to me
of our Thanksgiving, special Mother's Day and Father's Day, because
good mothers and good fathers would solve ninety nine percent
of our social problems. Wouldn't need all this welfare, wouldn't
be a market for it if mothers and fathers did
what they were supposed to do. If when people married
(03:40):
another person, they understood that you are marrying not just
that person, but the rest of their family. And so
when you're mean to your mother in law because you
love your husband but you don't like his mother because
she's annoying, you are, in one way or another, hurting
him or your father in lawyer, your sister in lawyer.
(04:02):
Now if they're monsters, then you have to explain to
your loved one, I've done my best, and you have
to have done your best, but I can no longer
interact with that person in a healthy fashion, so I
have to extricate myself. You're if your wife or husband
has children from an earlier marriage, it is your duty
(04:24):
to love those children as your own, and that is
the love you have for your spouse. These are the
mothers and father's messages. My wife took my father. We've
moved him to an assisted living center so that we
can be right next to him all day, every day.
He needs twenty four hour care and he can't. He
couldn't get it at home, and we can't provide it
(04:44):
at our home, but now he's getting the care he
needs and we get to see him. And my wife
took him out for a drive for a couple of
hours the other day and it just made his week.
He was so excited with his outing. It was just delightful.
We do Veterans Day to honor our veterans who came home,
Memorial Day for those who did in July fourth, for
the birth of this nation. Always wondered Valentine's Day to
(05:07):
rekindle love. But Easter, Easter is the manifestation, the making
whole of the message, not the birth of Christ or
the death of Christ, but the resurrection. That's John three sixteen.
That's the inspirational message in which I truly, deeply passionately
to use passion as a pun in this sense believe.
(05:29):
And so today is our day to remember that Easter
is upon us. So while we focus on the news
and all that is in it, I hope that you
have a wonderful Easter service in time with your family
and a reminder of our faith.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And with that we get started.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Hurt usye the greatest executive producer in all the land,
CHATTICONI Nakanishi here we can review. I go into Tex
Mex restaurant and it blows my mind on and they
don't have chips and sauce and you have to ask
for it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I'm like, fine, God, the Russians have won.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
A good Text Mex experience is to walk in and there's.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Some guy who doesn't wait table. He's about four or eleven.
You sit down and walk.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
He slides at basket of piping hot tortilla chips in.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Front of US road day.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
A man was stabbed at a mortuary in southwest Houston.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Houston Police say that he went to look for his
mother's body, only to find several others lying in the
open and discover their deceased loved one was left decomposing
in a room with no ac She.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Described conditions as deplorable. They have a net, they are boxes.
A confrontation broke out with a mortuary worker.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Tamara's brother was stabbed and rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Did he go in the back and get to night?
Oh yeah, you wanna fight me. I'm gonna stab you,
and guess what when you die? Your family's punishment, he is,
We're going to do the fun. No, not that too.
Dale King wipes away its year as she rides along
with Katy Kerry.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
And four other fellow astronauts to the launch pad for launch.
Speaker 11 (07:04):
Yeah, baby, go for launch my favors.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
But I hear people say, oh, it's just a rich
People say you're not looking at the bigger picture of
what has happening here.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The concept of being an astronaut. These guys were the
best of the best.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
They were mental giants, they were physical giants.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And now we've got this costplight of Gail King.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Anything Gail King does is therefore necessarily not impressive. We're
the prize patrol of publishers clearing now, and we could
surprise you.
Speaker 12 (07:35):
Publisher's clearing House it's filing for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You didn't know they were still around that whole setup. Man,
I'm sloggy in my life's miserable. Maybe I'll win the
publishers in the delirium happy Eastern.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Let me walk through paradise with you, take my head.
Speaker 13 (08:07):
And wore my every treasents.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
How teach me how to look and how to shame.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
And lost? This is Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I'm not tired of winning. I'll tell you that man.
It was a great win a few days ago, drinking.
President Trump is so inside the head of the media
and the Democrats. CNN's Dana Bash opened her show with
a disclaimer. She didn't correct something they reported in error.
(08:53):
She didn't warn of graphic images. She didn't warn about
an upcoming discs cushion of a mature topic. No.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
She opened her show with this disclaimer.
Speaker 14 (09:08):
We have heard a lot of bits of information, a
lot of news nuggets that we want to definitely focus on,
a lot of some misinformation as well, But we want
to digest all of this right now with our terrific
panel here and our reporters Jeff Zeleny, I want to
(09:29):
start with you, you are at the White House. Before
I get to you, I just want to say, for
the record, since we heard President Trump say in the
Oval Office that CNN hates our country, CNN does not
hate our country. That should go without saying. I've been
here for thirty two years and I see a rhetorical
(09:50):
device in him trying to say such a thing. That said,
I want to focus on the news that we heard.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
You don't make a statement, hey, we don't hate America
as the opening statement. It's not that she had a
guest on who said you hate America. She said, no,
we don't. Your opening monologue is the moment you can
most control in a show. There's no guest, there's no
(10:24):
breaking news for them to address the issue in that manner.
Tells you that they're hearing that that people who used
to watch them are saying that that people who work
there are saying. Everywhere we go, people are telling us
that we hate America.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's a real problem.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
We know the ratings are awful, we know that, we
know they've lost their way and don't know how to
get it back. The reason she had had to open
with that disclaimer, we don't hate America. Promise we don't
hate America. It's because of things like this. Caitlyn Collins
a few days ago repeatedly pressed President Trump. Now, Caitlyn
(11:13):
Collins used to be a Republican. This is what's kind
of funny about all this. She's one of these people
who had the big transformation, and once she went all in,
she went all in. I guess she figured that was
her future. She's pressing President Trump about the MS thirteen
thug that was sent back to his home country of
l Salvador, and this was part of that exchange, and
(11:36):
someone that you said that if.
Speaker 15 (11:37):
The Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that
you would abide by that. You said that on Air
Force one just a few days ago, and they said
that it must keep.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why didn't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're
keeping criminals out of our country?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Why can you just say that?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Why do you go over and over and that's the
way nobody watches you anymore? You know you have no credibility, right.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
She then asked l Salvadoran president Naive if he would
return that gang banger back to America and that.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Guy is a bad guy.
Speaker 16 (12:16):
Well, I'm supposed that suggested that I'll smuggle a terrorists
into the United States? Right, how can I smuggle How
can I return him to the United States? Like I
smuggle him into the United States or whatever we do.
Of course I'm not going to do it. It's like, let me,
the question is preposterous. How can I smuggle the terrorists
into the United States.
Speaker 17 (12:37):
I don't have the power to.
Speaker 16 (12:38):
Return him to the United States.
Speaker 17 (12:42):
Yeah, but I'm not releasing I mean, we're not very
fond of releasing terrorists into our country. We just turned
the murder capital of the world to the safest country
of the Western hemisphere. And you want us to go
back and to the releasing criminals so we can go
back to being the murder capital of the world.
Speaker 16 (12:55):
That's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, they'd love to have a criminal you know.
Speaker 16 (13:03):
Yeah, they're sick.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
These are sick people.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Naive Bokeley, the president of Osalvador, is my favorite world leader,
non American world leader right now. He's fantastic, just amazing.
He has transformed El Salvador, particularly the capital San Salvador,
which was an.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Absolute It was a murder capital of the world.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
And they came in and it turned out it wasn't
that everybody was murdering each other. It's that you had
a few murders who commit all the murders and they
had everyone in fear, and so you simply lock them up.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And the murder stop. Isn't that amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
You don't arrest them and release them. You don't make
movies about him, you don't make songs about them. You
arrest them and you keep locked up. And all of
a sudden, because most people don't commit murders, Bouquele has agreed.
We have outsourced our murder detention, our bad guy detention
(14:14):
del Salvador. And he says, just pass a little, will
be glad to do it, be good relations between the
two countries.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And the media is.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Going, you got to give us back those murderers. You
have to put them back on American streets, and he says, no,
I'm not smuggling a murderer back into here. That's crazy.
The guy's from El Salvador. By the way, we've really
just deported him. If you think about it. Secretary of
State Marco Rubio and White House Deputy Chief of Staff
Steven Miller, boys, he's turned out to be a real doozy.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Had to give her a civics lesson on who sets
foreign policy.
Speaker 13 (14:48):
I don't understand what they keep people into. This individual
is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in
the United States and was returned to his country.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's where you deport people back to the country of origin.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Except for Venice, that wasn't refusing to take people back
of places like that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I can tell you this, mister President.
Speaker 13 (15:05):
No, the foreign policy of the United States is conducted
by the President of the United States, not by a court,
and no court in the United States has a right
to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It's that simple end of story. And that's what you
suppeted for.
Speaker 18 (15:18):
By the way, it's Marco's point said exactly what Marcos said.
The no court has the authority to compel the Foreign
policy fund the United States. We want a case nine
to zero, and people like CNN are portraying it as
a loss as usual because they want foreign terrorists in
the country who kidnap women and children. But President Trump,
his policy is foreign terrorists that are here illegally get
(15:38):
expelled from the country, which, by the way, is a
ninety tennis show.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
You know, Stephen Miller has turned out to be so
darn good, such an asset to Donald Trump from his
young years of being a caller on Larry Elders Show.
There's so many good, smart, principled people in this country
(16:04):
that Trump has managed to bring in that are not
history professors or longtime government bureaucracts, are just smart people.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, the greatest moments in your life, it's the Michael
Berry's formalware.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
We have all your formal ware needs from morning suits
to coordinating accessories. So I want to talk about this
issue of domestic production. Where in my notes is Janet
Yellen's to here we are here, we are okay. So
(16:39):
Janet Yellen was one of the three most important people
in terms of running the government under Biden with regard
to economic policy. She was his Treasury Secretary and she
was a major decision maker. She was on CNBC with
(17:00):
this bold prediction. She wanted you to know that this
idea of manufacturing ever coming back to America. She says
exactly what Barack Obama said, That'll never happen. That's a
pipe dream. And I want you to understand why that
is the case. You have to have very low expectations
for this country. You need to be prepared. This country
(17:25):
is in decline and there's nothing that can be done
about it, and anybody who tells you that there is
is lying and duping you. This country is in decline.
Your wages are going to go down, You're not going
to have a job. The government is the only thing
that's going to save you. And you need to accept
that there's nothing you can do to change this. This
(17:47):
is the mindset of the left and it works with
a number of people.
Speaker 19 (17:52):
Perhaps it's to bring back American manufacturing, but I really
think that's a pipe dream and not something that is
likely to be accomplished, and we could even raise questions
about whether or not, in a broad based way, that's
a desirable goal.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
I want you to listen to this again. You heard
her say it's a pipe dream to bring manufacturing back
to this country. But I want you to notice the
statement after that. I'm not even sure it's desirable.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's impossible.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
We can't do it. Stop asking for it. We cannot
do it. Manufacturing has to be the rest of the
countries because the people who pay my bills, the globalists
at w World Economic for them, those people, that's what
they want to happen. It's impossible it ever come back here.
Stop listening to Trump and anyone else. It's impossible, and
I'm not even sure it's desirable.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Wait what.
Speaker 19 (18:54):
Perhaps it's to bring back American manufacturing, but I really
think that that's a pipe dream and not something that
is likely to be accomplished, And we could even raise
questions about whether or not in a broad based way,
that's a desirable goal.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Within an hour of that statement in Vidia within an
hour of her appearance on CNBC to make that statement,
Bloomberg open interest. In Vidia announces it will produce supercomputers
entirely built in the United States.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And by the way, as a footnote here, in Vidia
just that it will produce supercomputers entirely built in the.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
US five hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Janet Yellen has a long track record of being dead wrong.
Here is Janet Yellen on PBS News Hour in March
of twenty one, calling inflation the thing the needed to
get back on track. We've got to have inflation to
get back on track. Her in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 20 (20:07):
Inflation was extremely low, if anything, too low, rather than
too high. So I think this is what the economy
needs to get rapidly back on track. See that the
markets are expecting inflation to rise above the two percent.
Objective that the fd has is an average inflation rate
(20:31):
over the longer run. And of course the FID does
have tools to address inflation if it becomes a problem,
but I don't believe. I don't believe it will, and
I don't see markets or most forecasters worrying about that.
Speaker 19 (20:48):
So the writhing interest rates don't concern you.
Speaker 20 (20:53):
I think they're a sign that the economy is getting
back on track, and that market participants see that and
they expect a stronger economy, and instead of inflation lingering
below levels that are desirable for years on end, they're
(21:14):
beginning to see inflation get back to a normal range
around two percent.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Some of you may have noticed we play a lot
more audio than we used to, and the reason is
we've found Rush used to do this, and I always
found it very powerful. I can tell you what Janet
Yellen said, it's not until you hear it for yourself
that you realize, oh my goodness, when you actually when
you actually get all the smoke cleared out and listen
(21:42):
to what they say, it's very damning. Carolyn Levitt made
the point that President Trump implemented tariffs during his first
term while driving down the cost of living, and that's
what he's focused on doing again. Notice she just said
there wasn't enough inflation. That's during the Biden administration, which
(22:06):
came after the first Trump administration. In other words, Trump
drove down inflation and the cost of living, and Jennat
Yellen said, I think we need more inflation.
Speaker 15 (22:16):
The President's point about his trade in tariff agenda is
to bolster our manufacturing industries here in our country, to
bring down the cost of living here in our country,
and to ensure that we are maintaining critical supply chains
here in America. We cannot be dependent on countries like
China if we want this country to be strong and wealthy.
So the President wants to restore wealth to America by
(22:39):
shoring up these jobs here at home, which will result
in good paying jobs and higher wages for the American public.
And so the Americans should trust in that process. He
effectively implemented tariffs in his first term while driving down
the cost of living in this country, and that's what
he's focused on doing again.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
All the while, people like a Keem Jeffrey are pushing
the lie that prices are going up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
This was from April third, and this is a lie.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Trump promised that he would lower costs in fact on
day one, But what we've seen under his reckless leadership
is that costs aren't going down in America, that going up,
Inflation is going up.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He lies about everything.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Carolyn Levitt said, inflation is coming down, not going up.
Speaker 15 (23:26):
In more excellent economic news that was released yesterday. The
Consumer Price Index report showed inflation fell to two point
four percent in March, smashing expectations for the second straight
month in a row. This marked the first job in
consumer prices dating all the way back to the COVID pandemic.
Prescription drug prices saw the largest monthly decline on record.
(23:48):
Prices for airfare, used vehicles, and car insurance all decreased
as well, and energy prices fell two point four percent
in March, driven by plummeting gas prices around the country.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Even see a reporting that prices are coming.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Down consumer prices month over month, So this was actually
a drop of point one percent negative point one percent.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's the first time we've seen that since COVID.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Year over year, the annual inflation rate was at two
point four percent. This was also better than expected and
a six month low, moving in the right direction. As
far as why this happened, there's a few drivers.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
One thing that really played.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
A role here, as you can see the trend here
at the inflation rate dipping a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
One of the drivers was energy.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
The fact that gasoline prices did not move up like
they usually do in the month of March that really.
Listening to the Michael Berry shows.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
I'm not the biggest Kevin O'Leary fan, but he said
something very interesting. I don't know a week or so ago,
he's talking to Senator Rick Scott from Florida, and it
was talking about the fact that China has aggressively come
in and knocked out a million American small businesses. And
(25:07):
I know cases where this has happened, and you probably
do too. You may have been the business that was
put out of business, and our leadership allowed this to happen.
This is wrong, this is evil, This is sellout stuff.
And I feel like America's coming back because we are
now protecting Americans. We're not just making America great again,
(25:31):
We're making being American grade again, which it once was
and should be, but only if we protect each other.
Speaker 21 (25:39):
So, mister Leary, what if there was a company called
weather Tech, you know, and they they produced really.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Nice gnats for the car.
Speaker 21 (25:47):
I have them in my f one, and they woke
up one day and they looked on Alibaba and they
saw that their products were being sold on Alibama, and
they they looked and they looked at their shipping and
they you know, they never had done any business with Ababa,
(26:07):
and they looked just like the match that they produced
in Illinois. But and they even had their name on it.
Right what could they do to stop this theft of
their of their product and they got they'll get they
got nothing for it?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
What would they what would what would be their recourse?
Right now?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
There is nothing they can do. You have just told
the story of a million small businesses in America over
the last twenty years. They innovate, they create their entrepreneurs,
they prove their product in the Americans consumer market at
around five million in sales. They're knocked off by whom China,
(26:51):
very often the same plants that ran the molds under
a relationship they had with the company. A lot of
companies went to China twenty years ago, ten years ago
and put their molds there, and during the day the
company would run the weather Tech matt in this example
here theoretically, and then at night they'd run the knockoff
mat and they would bring it into the market. Let
me guess thirty percent off retail of weather of weather Tech.
(27:15):
And I've seen this happen countless times. And in some
cases where the company is very small, they go out
of business and nobody hears that tree falling in the forest.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
It happens thousands of times. There's such an immense.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Opportunity here to just enforce existing laws. But really, at
the end of the day, the reason that behemoth company
couldn't do anything about it they have no access to
the Chinese courts. They can't They can't resolve the complaint
through litigation as we do here. So my recommendation is, look,
if you're a Chinese company and you want to use
(27:50):
our courts to litigate your complaint, sorry, not until you
open yours. We'd love to work with you, but unless
it's a reciprocal plant. The whole idea of today's conversation
was just to get to a reciprocal playing field, a
even playing field. American companies have always been very competitive
anywhere on Earth when given a chance on a transparent
(28:13):
and competitive playing field. That's not the case in China.
I mean, we're all saying the same thing here. It's
got to get fixed, and finally, finally, finally, here we
are with tariffs being the excuse. But now I think
she has to come to the table, and I hope
it happens, and I'd like to see tomorrow morning four
hundred percent tariffs.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And you dare try to do business in China. We're
talking about whether we're going to continue to allow them
to pillage in our country. You dare try to do
business in China. Travis Kallinik was the founder of Uber.
He was the CEO. He was pushed out. He had
some problems. There's no doubt he was overly exuberant, little
(28:56):
loose with the ladies and living a wild life. But
it's a pretty amazing story of how Uber came to
be and he was a big part of that. And
he talks about the fact that they would steal your
technology in China when you try to do business there.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
There's no way I could express the frenetic intensity of
copying that they would do on everything that we would
roll out in China. And it was so epically intense
that I basically had a massive amount of respect for
their ability to copy.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
What we did.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
I just couldn't believe it. We would do real hard work,
we dial it and it would be epic and it
would be awesome. We'd roll it out and then like
two weeks later, boom, they've got it. A week later, boom,
They've got it it.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Being where we are in the week, I came into
today with a number of things that I've taken notes
on I've been interested in that I realized I had
a chance to get to There's so much happening, and
I don't play every news item. I don't go over
(30:07):
every news item. I try to stick to what matters,
and I try to cut through for you what matters.
Because some of our listeners don't watch a lot of news.
They listen to our show because that's when they have
a minute when they're not working and taking care of family.
So this was one of those items that unrelated to
anything else.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
We've talked about today.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Pete heg Sat, our Secretary of Defense, was on Fox
News and he was talking about our military under Trump,
and one of the problems was males, our traditional warriors,
didn't want to go in the military because it had
gotten creepy and freaky and weird. Military recruitment is way up,
(30:50):
and they're calling it the Trump bump because people want
to serve our country with the commander in chief who
will respect them.
Speaker 22 (30:58):
I've heard from the guys. I know what this does
from morale, and we've seen what it's done now for
recruitment in part. Many different factors are going into this,
but you guys have seen, we have the numbers. I
think we can share what's happened with recruitment in the
military since you've taken over as the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, I mean, it's the Trump bump.
Speaker 12 (31:17):
It's the commander in chief first and foremost. He's got
the backs of our warfighters.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
And they know it.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
And so the young men and women of America are
prepared to stand up.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Look at those numbers.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
They're historic over multiple decades. And I get to see
them out, you know, whether it's Panama City, whether it's
in Guam or Japan, or the Philippines or on basis
here in the US or out in Germany and Poland.
You look into the eyes of these young Americans who
are giving up the best years of their alive in.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A uniform to serve their nation. They are incredible.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
And those best moments are in the morning, you know
it's still not quite light out. We're out in formation
doing pt You get to hear the real store, You
get to thank.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Them for what they do.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
You find out where they're from, and they know that
I have been in their place not that long ago,
and that I want to have, just like the President,
their best interest in mind. That we're going to have
their back. We're gonna let warriors be warriors. We're going
to rebuild our military, re established deterrence, make sure they're
ready to go everything that they need. It's an awesome responsibility.
Will you know, you and I talked a lot on
(32:16):
and off air.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
We're friends.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
You know, this is something that's meant a lot to
me for a very long time, and it's a sober
responsibility to make sure they are prepared, and when you
look them in the eyes, you realize what it's all about.
We can talk about the Panama Canal, and we can
talk about the communist Chinese, none of that happens without
the eyes of deterrence. That are those men and women
that I see on these trips. They're why we do it.
And I couldn't be more honored to lead them. And
they got the best commander in chief they could possibly have.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
That's what it means to make America great again. You know,
so many great Americans went into our military to serve
multiple generations of families. Proud to do it, proud of
the branch they served in, proud of their fathers and
their sons and their siblings who served this country. And
the Democrats destroyed that too, as they destroy every institution.
(33:04):
They destroy the church, they destroy the public education, they
destroy the military. And we're rebuilding that. And there is
pride again. I don't mean some rainbow flag. There is
pride for people in their country and not their subdivided
identity and their victimhood. These are good times, folks, These
(33:27):
are the good old days.
It's that time time time time lucking load. So Michael
Verry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoking.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh yes, it is.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Two six packs shinner not a nine sid putee ladder.
Look at track center, fifth patrol I s down added
glue coolers. Take a guess at all to do? I
can feel a good one coming off.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Throwing Rey Wiy Hubbard sing along to mother any blues
I had before another working week is over?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
No chus staying sober.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
I can feel a good.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
One coming off.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Man, we gonna captain feeling and we gonna keep this higher.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I can feel the greg and no, I can feel
a good one coming.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
It's a highlight for us every year to mark special occasions.
Three minds, Christmas, the Birth of Christ, Thanksgiving. When we stop,
and as my Bible teaches me, count our blessings. One
of my favorite versus of one of my favorite hymns
(02:00):
growing up was counter blessings, naming them one by one,
counter blessings. See what God had done, and I think
it is good to be grateful. The idea of taking
stock of your life. You know, so many people, particularly
on the left. Sometimes this infects our people as well.
(02:22):
They get lost in misery, They get swallowed up in
what is not.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Rather than what is.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
However much money they have is not as much money
as somebody else, and so greed and jealousy gealousy, I'll
caho it. Greed in, jealousy creep in. And the way
to cope with that they don't think, well, I'll go
make more money. They will because they may have failed
at that. They will hope that the government will take
money from other people. Or I might be pretty, but
(02:54):
I'm not pretty enough. I'm as pretty as that person,
or I'm not as pretty as I once was when
I was younger, or I'm fatter than I used to be,
or I don't have the energy. All of these things
creep into our lives. And while we should be in
a constant struggle to work harder, build more, struggle more,
(03:16):
survive more, help others do more, it is good to
stop and be grateful. And that's the meaning to me
of our Thanksgiving, special Mother's Day and Father's Day, because
good mothers and good fathers would solve ninety nine percent
of our social problems. Wouldn't need all this welfare, wouldn't
be a market for it if mothers and fathers did
what they were supposed to do. If when people married
(03:40):
another person, they understood that you are marrying not just
that person, but the rest of their family. And so
when you're mean to your mother in law because you
love your husband but you don't like his mother because
she's annoying, you are, in one way or another, hurting
him or your father in lawyer, your sister in lawyer.
(04:02):
Now if they're monsters, then you have to explain to
your loved one, I've done my best, and you have
to have done your best, but I can no longer
interact with that person in a healthy fashion, so I
have to extricate myself. You're if your wife or husband
has children from an earlier marriage, it is your duty
(04:24):
to love those children as your own, and that is
the love you have for your spouse. These are the
mothers and father's messages. My wife took my father. We've
moved him to an assisted living center so that we
can be right next to him all day, every day.
He needs twenty four hour care and he can't. He
couldn't get it at home, and we can't provide it
(04:44):
at our home, but now he's getting the care he
needs and we get to see him. And my wife
took him out for a drive for a couple of
hours the other day and it just made his week.
He was so excited with his outing. It was just delightful.
We do Veterans Day to honor our veterans who came home,
Memorial Day for those who did in July fourth, for
the birth of this nation. Always wondered Valentine's Day to
(05:07):
rekindle love. But Easter, Easter is the manifestation, the making
whole of the message, not the birth of Christ or
the death of Christ, but the resurrection. That's John three sixteen.
That's the inspirational message in which I truly, deeply passionately
to use passion as a pun in this sense believe.
(05:29):
And so today is our day to remember that Easter
is upon us. So while we focus on the news
and all that is in it, I hope that you
have a wonderful Easter service in time with your family
and a reminder of our faith.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And with that we get started.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Hurt usye the greatest executive producer in all the land,
CHATTICONI Nakanishi here we can review. I go into Tex
Mex restaurant and it blows my mind on and they
don't have chips and sauce and you have to ask
for it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I'm like, fine, God, the Russians have won.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
A good Text Mex experience is to walk in and there's.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Some guy who doesn't wait table. He's about four or eleven.
You sit down and walk.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
He slides at basket of piping hot tortilla chips in.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Front of US road day.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
A man was stabbed at a mortuary in southwest Houston.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Houston Police say that he went to look for his
mother's body, only to find several others lying in the
open and discover their deceased loved one was left decomposing
in a room with no ac She.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Described conditions as deplorable. They have a net, they are boxes.
A confrontation broke out with a mortuary worker.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
Tamara's brother was stabbed and rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Did he go in the back and get to night?
Oh yeah, you wanna fight me. I'm gonna stab you,
and guess what when you die? Your family's punishment, he is,
We're going to do the fun. No, not that too.
Dale King wipes away its year as she rides along
with Katy Kerry.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
And four other fellow astronauts to the launch pad for launch.
Speaker 11 (07:04):
Yeah, baby, go for launch my favors.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
But I hear people say, oh, it's just a rich
People say you're not looking at the bigger picture of
what has happening here.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The concept of being an astronaut. These guys were the
best of the best.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
They were mental giants, they were physical giants.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And now we've got this costplight of Gail King.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Anything Gail King does is therefore necessarily not impressive. We're
the prize patrol of publishers clearing now, and we could
surprise you.
Speaker 12 (07:35):
Publisher's clearing House it's filing for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You didn't know they were still around that whole setup. Man,
I'm sloggy in my life's miserable. Maybe I'll win the
publishers in the delirium happy Eastern.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Let me walk through paradise with you, take my head.
Speaker 13 (08:07):
And wore my every treasents.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
How teach me how to look and how to shame.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
And lost? This is Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I'm not tired of winning. I'll tell you that man.
It was a great win a few days ago, drinking.
President Trump is so inside the head of the media
and the Democrats. CNN's Dana Bash opened her show with
a disclaimer. She didn't correct something they reported in error.
(08:53):
She didn't warn of graphic images. She didn't warn about
an upcoming discs cushion of a mature topic. No.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
She opened her show with this disclaimer.
Speaker 14 (09:08):
We have heard a lot of bits of information, a
lot of news nuggets that we want to definitely focus on,
a lot of some misinformation as well, But we want
to digest all of this right now with our terrific
panel here and our reporters Jeff Zeleny, I want to
(09:29):
start with you, you are at the White House. Before
I get to you, I just want to say, for
the record, since we heard President Trump say in the
Oval Office that CNN hates our country, CNN does not
hate our country. That should go without saying. I've been
here for thirty two years and I see a rhetorical
(09:50):
device in him trying to say such a thing. That said,
I want to focus on the news that we heard.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
You don't make a statement, hey, we don't hate America
as the opening statement. It's not that she had a
guest on who said you hate America. She said, no,
we don't. Your opening monologue is the moment you can
most control in a show. There's no guest, there's no
(10:24):
breaking news for them to address the issue in that manner.
Tells you that they're hearing that that people who used
to watch them are saying that that people who work
there are saying. Everywhere we go, people are telling us
that we hate America.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's a real problem.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
We know the ratings are awful, we know that, we
know they've lost their way and don't know how to
get it back. The reason she had had to open
with that disclaimer, we don't hate America. Promise we don't
hate America. It's because of things like this. Caitlyn Collins
a few days ago repeatedly pressed President Trump. Now, Caitlyn
(11:13):
Collins used to be a Republican. This is what's kind
of funny about all this. She's one of these people
who had the big transformation, and once she went all in,
she went all in. I guess she figured that was
her future. She's pressing President Trump about the MS thirteen
thug that was sent back to his home country of
l Salvador, and this was part of that exchange, and
(11:36):
someone that you said that if.
Speaker 15 (11:37):
The Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that
you would abide by that. You said that on Air
Force one just a few days ago, and they said
that it must keep.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why didn't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're
keeping criminals out of our country?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Why can you just say that?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Why do you go over and over and that's the
way nobody watches you anymore? You know you have no credibility, right.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
She then asked l Salvadoran president Naive if he would
return that gang banger back to America and that.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Guy is a bad guy.
Speaker 16 (12:16):
Well, I'm supposed that suggested that I'll smuggle a terrorists
into the United States? Right, how can I smuggle How
can I return him to the United States? Like I
smuggle him into the United States or whatever we do.
Of course I'm not going to do it. It's like, let me,
the question is preposterous. How can I smuggle the terrorists
into the United States.
Speaker 17 (12:37):
I don't have the power to.
Speaker 16 (12:38):
Return him to the United States.
Speaker 17 (12:42):
Yeah, but I'm not releasing I mean, we're not very
fond of releasing terrorists into our country. We just turned
the murder capital of the world to the safest country
of the Western hemisphere. And you want us to go
back and to the releasing criminals so we can go
back to being the murder capital of the world.
Speaker 16 (12:55):
That's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Well, they'd love to have a criminal you know.
Speaker 16 (13:03):
Yeah, they're sick.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
These are sick people.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Naive Bokeley, the president of Osalvador, is my favorite world leader,
non American world leader right now. He's fantastic, just amazing.
He has transformed El Salvador, particularly the capital San Salvador,
which was an.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Absolute It was a murder capital of the world.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
And they came in and it turned out it wasn't
that everybody was murdering each other. It's that you had
a few murders who commit all the murders and they
had everyone in fear, and so you simply lock them up.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And the murder stop. Isn't that amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
You don't arrest them and release them. You don't make
movies about him, you don't make songs about them. You
arrest them and you keep locked up. And all of
a sudden, because most people don't commit murders, Bouquele has agreed.
We have outsourced our murder detention, our bad guy detention
(14:14):
del Salvador. And he says, just pass a little, will
be glad to do it, be good relations between the
two countries.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And the media is.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Going, you got to give us back those murderers. You
have to put them back on American streets, and he says, no,
I'm not smuggling a murderer back into here. That's crazy.
The guy's from El Salvador. By the way, we've really
just deported him. If you think about it. Secretary of
State Marco Rubio and White House Deputy Chief of Staff
Steven Miller, boys, he's turned out to be a real doozy.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
He's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Had to give her a civics lesson on who sets
foreign policy.
Speaker 13 (14:48):
I don't understand what they keep people into. This individual
is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in
the United States and was returned to his country.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's where you deport people back to the country of origin.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Except for Venice, that wasn't refusing to take people back
of places like that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I can tell you this, mister President.
Speaker 13 (15:05):
No, the foreign policy of the United States is conducted
by the President of the United States, not by a court,
and no court in the United States has a right
to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It's that simple end of story. And that's what you
suppeted for.
Speaker 18 (15:18):
By the way, it's Marco's point said exactly what Marcos said.
The no court has the authority to compel the Foreign
policy fund the United States. We want a case nine
to zero, and people like CNN are portraying it as
a loss as usual because they want foreign terrorists in
the country who kidnap women and children. But President Trump,
his policy is foreign terrorists that are here illegally get
(15:38):
expelled from the country, which, by the way, is a
ninety tennis show.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
You know, Stephen Miller has turned out to be so
darn good, such an asset to Donald Trump from his
young years of being a caller on Larry Elders Show.
There's so many good, smart, principled people in this country
(16:04):
that Trump has managed to bring in that are not
history professors or longtime government bureaucracts, are just smart people.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, the greatest moments in your life, it's the Michael
Berry's formalware.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
We have all your formal ware needs from morning suits
to coordinating accessories. So I want to talk about this
issue of domestic production. Where in my notes is Janet
Yellen's to here we are here, we are okay. So
(16:39):
Janet Yellen was one of the three most important people
in terms of running the government under Biden with regard
to economic policy. She was his Treasury Secretary and she
was a major decision maker. She was on CNBC with
(17:00):
this bold prediction. She wanted you to know that this
idea of manufacturing ever coming back to America. She says
exactly what Barack Obama said, That'll never happen. That's a
pipe dream. And I want you to understand why that
is the case. You have to have very low expectations
for this country. You need to be prepared. This country
(17:25):
is in decline and there's nothing that can be done
about it, and anybody who tells you that there is
is lying and duping you. This country is in decline.
Your wages are going to go down, You're not going
to have a job. The government is the only thing
that's going to save you. And you need to accept
that there's nothing you can do to change this. This
(17:47):
is the mindset of the left and it works with
a number of people.
Speaker 19 (17:52):
Perhaps it's to bring back American manufacturing, but I really
think that's a pipe dream and not something that is
likely to be accomplished, and we could even raise questions
about whether or not, in a broad based way, that's
a desirable goal.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
I want you to listen to this again. You heard
her say it's a pipe dream to bring manufacturing back
to this country. But I want you to notice the
statement after that. I'm not even sure it's desirable.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's impossible.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
We can't do it. Stop asking for it. We cannot
do it. Manufacturing has to be the rest of the
countries because the people who pay my bills, the globalists
at w World Economic for them, those people, that's what
they want to happen. It's impossible it ever come back here.
Stop listening to Trump and anyone else. It's impossible, and
I'm not even sure it's desirable.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Wait what.
Speaker 19 (18:54):
Perhaps it's to bring back American manufacturing, but I really
think that that's a pipe dream and not something that
is likely to be accomplished, And we could even raise
questions about whether or not in a broad based way,
that's a desirable goal.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Within an hour of that statement in Vidia within an
hour of her appearance on CNBC to make that statement,
Bloomberg open interest. In Vidia announces it will produce supercomputers
entirely built in the United States.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And by the way, as a footnote here, in Vidia
just that it will produce supercomputers entirely built in the.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
US five hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Janet Yellen has a long track record of being dead wrong.
Here is Janet Yellen on PBS News Hour in March
of twenty one, calling inflation the thing the needed to
get back on track. We've got to have inflation to
get back on track. Her in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 20 (20:07):
Inflation was extremely low, if anything, too low, rather than
too high. So I think this is what the economy
needs to get rapidly back on track. See that the
markets are expecting inflation to rise above the two percent.
Objective that the fd has is an average inflation rate
(20:31):
over the longer run. And of course the FID does
have tools to address inflation if it becomes a problem,
but I don't believe. I don't believe it will, and
I don't see markets or most forecasters worrying about that.
Speaker 19 (20:48):
So the writhing interest rates don't concern you.
Speaker 20 (20:53):
I think they're a sign that the economy is getting
back on track, and that market participants see that and
they expect a stronger economy, and instead of inflation lingering
below levels that are desirable for years on end, they're
(21:14):
beginning to see inflation get back to a normal range
around two percent.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Some of you may have noticed we play a lot
more audio than we used to, and the reason is
we've found Rush used to do this, and I always
found it very powerful. I can tell you what Janet
Yellen said, it's not until you hear it for yourself
that you realize, oh my goodness, when you actually when
you actually get all the smoke cleared out and listen
(21:42):
to what they say, it's very damning. Carolyn Levitt made
the point that President Trump implemented tariffs during his first
term while driving down the cost of living, and that's
what he's focused on doing again. Notice she just said
there wasn't enough inflation. That's during the Biden administration, which
(22:06):
came after the first Trump administration. In other words, Trump
drove down inflation and the cost of living, and Jennat
Yellen said, I think we need more inflation.
Speaker 15 (22:16):
The President's point about his trade in tariff agenda is
to bolster our manufacturing industries here in our country, to
bring down the cost of living here in our country,
and to ensure that we are maintaining critical supply chains
here in America. We cannot be dependent on countries like
China if we want this country to be strong and wealthy.
So the President wants to restore wealth to America by
(22:39):
shoring up these jobs here at home, which will result
in good paying jobs and higher wages for the American public.
And so the Americans should trust in that process. He
effectively implemented tariffs in his first term while driving down
the cost of living in this country, and that's what
he's focused on doing again.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
All the while, people like a Keem Jeffrey are pushing
the lie that prices are going up.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
This was from April third, and this is a lie.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Trump promised that he would lower costs in fact on
day one, But what we've seen under his reckless leadership
is that costs aren't going down in America, that going up,
Inflation is going up.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He lies about everything.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Carolyn Levitt said, inflation is coming down, not going up.
Speaker 15 (23:26):
In more excellent economic news that was released yesterday. The
Consumer Price Index report showed inflation fell to two point
four percent in March, smashing expectations for the second straight
month in a row. This marked the first job in
consumer prices dating all the way back to the COVID pandemic.
Prescription drug prices saw the largest monthly decline on record.
(23:48):
Prices for airfare, used vehicles, and car insurance all decreased
as well, and energy prices fell two point four percent
in March, driven by plummeting gas prices around the country.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Even see a reporting that prices are coming.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Down consumer prices month over month, So this was actually
a drop of point one percent negative point one percent.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's the first time we've seen that since COVID.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Year over year, the annual inflation rate was at two
point four percent. This was also better than expected and
a six month low, moving in the right direction. As
far as why this happened, there's a few drivers.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
One thing that really played.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
A role here, as you can see the trend here
at the inflation rate dipping a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
One of the drivers was energy.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
The fact that gasoline prices did not move up like
they usually do in the month of March that really.
Listening to the Michael Berry shows.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
I'm not the biggest Kevin O'Leary fan, but he said
something very interesting. I don't know a week or so ago,
he's talking to Senator Rick Scott from Florida, and it
was talking about the fact that China has aggressively come
in and knocked out a million American small businesses. And
(25:07):
I know cases where this has happened, and you probably
do too. You may have been the business that was
put out of business, and our leadership allowed this to happen.
This is wrong, this is evil, This is sellout stuff.
And I feel like America's coming back because we are
now protecting Americans. We're not just making America great again,
(25:31):
We're making being American grade again, which it once was
and should be, but only if we protect each other.
Speaker 21 (25:39):
So, mister Leary, what if there was a company called
weather Tech, you know, and they they produced really.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Nice gnats for the car.
Speaker 21 (25:47):
I have them in my f one, and they woke
up one day and they looked on Alibaba and they
saw that their products were being sold on Alibama, and
they they looked and they looked at their shipping and
they you know, they never had done any business with Ababa,
(26:07):
and they looked just like the match that they produced
in Illinois. But and they even had their name on it.
Right what could they do to stop this theft of
their of their product and they got they'll get they
got nothing for it?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
What would they what would what would be their recourse?
Right now?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
There is nothing they can do. You have just told
the story of a million small businesses in America over
the last twenty years. They innovate, they create their entrepreneurs,
they prove their product in the Americans consumer market at
around five million in sales. They're knocked off by whom China,
(26:51):
very often the same plants that ran the molds under
a relationship they had with the company. A lot of
companies went to China twenty years ago, ten years ago
and put their molds there, and during the day the
company would run the weather Tech matt in this example
here theoretically, and then at night they'd run the knockoff
mat and they would bring it into the market. Let
me guess thirty percent off retail of weather of weather Tech.
(27:15):
And I've seen this happen countless times. And in some
cases where the company is very small, they go out
of business and nobody hears that tree falling in the forest.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
It happens thousands of times. There's such an immense.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Opportunity here to just enforce existing laws. But really, at
the end of the day, the reason that behemoth company
couldn't do anything about it they have no access to
the Chinese courts. They can't They can't resolve the complaint
through litigation as we do here. So my recommendation is, look,
if you're a Chinese company and you want to use
(27:50):
our courts to litigate your complaint, sorry, not until you
open yours. We'd love to work with you, but unless
it's a reciprocal plant. The whole idea of today's conversation
was just to get to a reciprocal playing field, a
even playing field. American companies have always been very competitive
anywhere on Earth when given a chance on a transparent
(28:13):
and competitive playing field. That's not the case in China.
I mean, we're all saying the same thing here. It's
got to get fixed, and finally, finally, finally, here we
are with tariffs being the excuse. But now I think
she has to come to the table, and I hope
it happens, and I'd like to see tomorrow morning four
hundred percent tariffs.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And you dare try to do business in China. We're
talking about whether we're going to continue to allow them
to pillage in our country. You dare try to do
business in China. Travis Kallinik was the founder of Uber.
He was the CEO. He was pushed out. He had
some problems. There's no doubt he was overly exuberant, little
(28:56):
loose with the ladies and living a wild life. But
it's a pretty amazing story of how Uber came to
be and he was a big part of that. And
he talks about the fact that they would steal your
technology in China when you try to do business there.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
There's no way I could express the frenetic intensity of
copying that they would do on everything that we would
roll out in China. And it was so epically intense
that I basically had a massive amount of respect for
their ability to copy.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
What we did.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
I just couldn't believe it. We would do real hard work,
we dial it and it would be epic and it
would be awesome. We'd roll it out and then like
two weeks later, boom, they've got it. A week later, boom,
They've got it it.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Being where we are in the week, I came into
today with a number of things that I've taken notes
on I've been interested in that I realized I had
a chance to get to There's so much happening, and
I don't play every news item. I don't go over
(30:07):
every news item. I try to stick to what matters,
and I try to cut through for you what matters.
Because some of our listeners don't watch a lot of news.
They listen to our show because that's when they have
a minute when they're not working and taking care of family.
So this was one of those items that unrelated to
anything else.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
We've talked about today.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Pete heg Sat, our Secretary of Defense, was on Fox
News and he was talking about our military under Trump,
and one of the problems was males, our traditional warriors,
didn't want to go in the military because it had
gotten creepy and freaky and weird. Military recruitment is way up,
(30:50):
and they're calling it the Trump bump because people want
to serve our country with the commander in chief who
will respect them.
Speaker 22 (30:58):
I've heard from the guys. I know what this does
from morale, and we've seen what it's done now for
recruitment in part. Many different factors are going into this,
but you guys have seen, we have the numbers. I
think we can share what's happened with recruitment in the
military since you've taken over as the Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, I mean, it's the Trump bump.
Speaker 12 (31:17):
It's the commander in chief first and foremost. He's got
the backs of our warfighters.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
And they know it.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
And so the young men and women of America are
prepared to stand up.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Look at those numbers.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
They're historic over multiple decades. And I get to see
them out, you know, whether it's Panama City, whether it's
in Guam or Japan, or the Philippines or on basis
here in the US or out in Germany and Poland.
You look into the eyes of these young Americans who
are giving up the best years of their alive in.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A uniform to serve their nation. They are incredible.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
And those best moments are in the morning, you know
it's still not quite light out. We're out in formation
doing pt You get to hear the real store, You
get to thank.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Them for what they do.
Speaker 12 (31:55):
You find out where they're from, and they know that
I have been in their place not that long ago,
and that I want to have, just like the President,
their best interest in mind. That we're going to have
their back. We're gonna let warriors be warriors. We're going
to rebuild our military, re established deterrence, make sure they're
ready to go everything that they need. It's an awesome responsibility.
Will you know, you and I talked a lot on
(32:16):
and off air.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
We're friends.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
You know, this is something that's meant a lot to
me for a very long time, and it's a sober
responsibility to make sure they are prepared, and when you
look them in the eyes, you realize what it's all about.
We can talk about the Panama Canal, and we can
talk about the communist Chinese, none of that happens without
the eyes of deterrence. That are those men and women
that I see on these trips. They're why we do it.
And I couldn't be more honored to lead them. And
they got the best commander in chief they could possibly have.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
That's what it means to make America great again. You know,
so many great Americans went into our military to serve
multiple generations of families. Proud to do it, proud of
the branch they served in, proud of their fathers and
their sons and their siblings who served this country. And
the Democrats destroyed that too, as they destroy every institution.
(33:04):
They destroy the church, they destroy the public education, they
destroy the military. And we're rebuilding that. And there is
pride again. I don't mean some rainbow flag. There is
pride for people in their country and not their subdivided
identity and their victimhood. These are good times, folks, These
(33:27):
are the good old days.
