Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Let's have a conversation about democracy. We are not a democracy.
I know that Ms. Evans, your junior year Civics teacher
told you that. I know that we have a love
affair with his idea that we take democracy to the
(00:53):
rest of the world, that democracy is good, that democracy
is battling communism. We believe in democracy because we're not Heathens,
and it is ingrained into Americans that we have a
democracy and we want everyone to have democracy because democracy
(01:15):
is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Leaving aside for a.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Moment that Iran did not have democracy when Shah Paulavi
was governing a very stable, relatively secular nation and democracy
led to the Muslim revolution, Islamist revolution that made that
the most dangerous country in the world today. That was
(01:40):
actually democracy. Disturbingly so, Egypt was a stable country and
the leader was deposed, overthrown, and pushed out for the
politically popular Muslim brotherhood. I think Morear was the name
(02:04):
of the replacement, and we knew it would happen. We
have seen democracy as such destroy certain countries, particularly fanatical
Muslim countries, and the concept of democracy per se needs
(02:25):
to be understood clearly. Now that's not a popular thing
to say, right, Hitler bad, Lincoln good. We like to
have very simple things that we can hold on to
because it simplifies things and then we can go to
the ball game and not have to worry about all
this heavy stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Abe Lincoln is the greatest president ever because.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He is honest and he's he's honest as day as long,
and he's good.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Honest. Say we love all honest ave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, what about what about the fact that honest Abe
had a general removed in Missouri or in anticipating the
slaves because he wasn't ready for that. I think it
was Fremont. Well, he's honest A as long as he's honest. A.
It's not to say that nothing we know is true.
Everything is untrue, and it's not my message. My message
(03:16):
is that we must be careful to understand what we're
talking about, and that complicated matters can be simplified. But
you and I, not the idiots, not the low information.
You and I have to think on a different plane
because we have to explain to the other folks how
(03:36):
the cowie to cabbage. To begin with, back to my
original point. We are not a democracy, pure and simple.
If we were, it would be like the ancient days
of Greece. We would be called to vote every other day.
It may feel like you're constantly having to vote. Instead
of Texas, right now, we have our non uniform election dates.
We're in the middle of an early vote for school
(03:58):
boards and all towns and mud boards and bonds and
things like that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And you know, between the.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Every two years and every four years and off year
elections and all this stuff, it can add up. It
can seem like you're constantly voting, but you're not. Congress
is but you're not. If you were, you wouldn't be able
to do any work. So what we do is we
vote democratically demost meaning the people, the populace krussey crasy
(04:28):
meaning a government of So a theocracy is a government
of religion. So Iran would be not a pure democracy
per se, but a government by the Muslim governing authority.
A democracy would be a government of the people, we
(04:52):
like to say, but we would be voting all the time.
So instead we vote for people, we call them representatives
in the lower House. We vote on them every two
years and then We vote every six years on senators,
two per state. That was part of the compromise, and
(05:13):
they serve for six years, and each of the states
gets two senators, even if you only have one congressman.
So in the upper House, the Senate, every state is
represented with two senators, which means some states are a
bit overrepresented because they're very small. In states like California, Texas,
New York, and Florida are underrepresented because we have so
many people represented with only two people in the Senate,
(05:34):
whereas you get a state like Vermont or Idaho and
they get two senators, or Montana or Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But that was the compromise.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The House is based on population, so we have a
democratic republic. We vote on people who then do all
the voting for us, and we may not like the
way they vote, but that's the process. Well, you and
I know that the life of Donald Trump is not
as simple as we might like to believe.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You and I know that the life of.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Tom Brady or Bob Dylan or any number of other
people is quite unlike our own. Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis,
or a lot of people, and we probably wouldn't understand
their life. It would be quite different than our own.
(06:30):
We don't want to hear that because they're a celebrity
and we hate celebrity. I get that, and we don't.
And they're certainly not better than us. I'm not saying that,
but it is to say that they're different from us.
And one of the ways people at that level are
very different, and Elon Musk is a great example, is
that Elon has moved in and out of companies in
a very loose way for the last twenty five years,
(06:54):
on a scale you wouldn't imagine PayPal. For instance, Tesla
was a company that existed. He came into, took it
to the next level. And when he comes in, he's
twenty four to seven. He sleeps under a desk. He
puts a desk out in the middle of the floor,
the manufacturing floor, and he sleeps under there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He also just happened to create a boring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Company, which he quite tongue in cheek, called the boring
company that bores under ground to create tunnels. He created SpaceX,
which has surpassed NASA in space travel. It's absolutely amazing
the things that they've accomplished. He has created technologies neurolink
(07:33):
that could change everything about everything. He's been involved at
the top levels of AI and oh, by the way,
Starlink the greatest provider of internet access in the world,
especially to places that couldn't get wires, and we don't
even think about that. So when he came in to
do DOGE, it was never meant that he was going
(07:55):
to hang out there. This is not a guy who
has receptions and brings all his family photo in there.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in and out.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
So when you're hearing people say, which I believe to
be true and always did, that he probably leaves in
the month of May. And now he has said it himself.
That's not rancor between him and the president. That's who
Elon Musk is. He's got. He's trying to take a
he's trying to take humans tomorrows. Don't let them tell
you the Trump administration's falling apart.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The others is mccahilly and the girls all get pretty
closing time when you're listening to the Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Show four Sweet Father, this dying, She'll soon be dead.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
We're boiling.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Oh shuts.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Those rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
They keep falling.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Six hundred thousand horosia atomic bombs.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Exploding every day. I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Weird done food a forking us.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Those great bombs are falling on my head. They keep falling.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
The accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat
as would be released by six hundred thousands erosimaglass atomic
bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. That's what's
boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs,
and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating
the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea
(09:26):
level and causing these waves.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Of rain bombs falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Bullion in this sentry four.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Sweet mother is dying. She'll soon be dead.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We're boiling ocehuns.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Poves, rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They keep falling.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Six hundred thousand heroshia atomic bombs away.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rain bombs fallen on top of my head.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
They're like rain drops, but instead of water, it's nuclear
bombs every day, six hundred thousand of them.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's called science.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Maybe you've heard of it, and there's only one solution
destroy Western civilization.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Science. I'm not much of a Whistler.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Thank you to Chance McLean for giving us that intro
to the story that they let al Gore out of
the nuthouse again to give yet another speech on global warming.
He didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans this time,
but he did go with a proven losing Democrat strategy.
(11:01):
He compared the Trump administration two. You remember Godwin's law, right,
Hitler's Third Reich.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I want to note that before I use what is
not a president? I understand very well why it is
wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
But there are important lessons from the history of that
emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential.
In the immediate aftermath of World War two, a small
group of philosophers who had escaped Hitler's murderous regime returned
to Germany and performed a kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Moral autopsy on the Third Rich.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
The most famous of the so called Frankfurt Stool of
philosophers was a man named Jurgen Habermas. Best known, I
would say, but it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno, who
wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into
hell was and I quote, the conversion of all questions
(12:10):
of truth into questions of power. He described how the
Nazis and I quote again, attacked the very heart of
the distinction between true and false end quote. The Trump
administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred
(12:31):
version of reality. They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of
the other way around, and expect us to believe it
at home. They attack heroes who have defended our nation
in war and against cyber attacks as traders. They say
the climate crisis is a host invented by the Chinese
(12:53):
to destroy American manufacturing. They say coal is clean. They
say win turbanes called cancer. They say sea level rise,
this creates more.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hold on, Hold on, you can laugh all you want.
I do believe all that. Now, you can laugh all
you want.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You're that crazed poodle the massage the masseuse said sexually
assaulted her. You're that crazy al gore. So you can
laugh all you want. They say it was created by
the Chinese. Yeah, yeah, and so was COVID. Yeah exactly.
We know who's paying your bills. You want to laugh
(13:35):
at opinions that we have, so be it. I do
think those things. I am unashamed that I think those things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This creates more beachfront poverty.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Their allies and the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue
that those who want to stop using this guy as
an open sewer for God's sake need to be more
realistic and acquiesce through the huge increases and the burning
of more and more fossil fuels, which is what they're pushing,
even though that is the principal cause of the climate crisis.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, al Gore never recovered from south Park.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Comedy is so powerful, especially at pointing things out that
people may not have noticed. South Park pointed out that
al Gore is not in on the joke. Al Gore
is the guy out there. You've been out with a
group of guys. You don't know him that well, but
(14:38):
there's one guy in the group and he's lying, yeah, well, yes,
it was.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
A good hang out with you guy. You know, I
was in the Olympics. Oh you were. I was an Olympics.
I was an Olympics. I was a track star. I
saw you're white.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I pretty much know every white track star going back
fifty years actually maybe going back to Jesse Owens, even
some of the track stars from other countries. Which country
where us?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
What year of eighty six? Where was eighty it was?
You mean eighty four?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
You mean Los Angeles? And everybody you know, nobody says
you're a liar, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You just kind of shoot a sidelong glance and everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Al Gore is the guy that everybody knows is an
absolute buffoon except for him, and he just keeps going
at it like he's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And South Park.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exposed him, taking himself seriously so badly that he has
never recovered.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And he never will.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
You see, there is something out there which threatens our
very existence, and maybe that into the human race as
we know it. I'm talking, of course, about Man Bear Pig.
It is a creature which roams the earth alone. It
is half man, half bear, and half pig. Some people
(16:15):
say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well, I'm here
to tell you now, Man bear Pig is very real
and he most certainly exists.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'm cereal.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Man bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what
you've done. Man Bear Pig simply wants.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
To get you. I'm super cereal.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember when Rush Limbaugh debated al Gore on Nightline.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We'll play that coming up. That's a romp through some
good history right there.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Frozen putting on a stake, the Michael Berry shoe, Jello
brand pudding pops, maybe the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Al Gore has been a climate nut for decades.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I miss Rush Limbaugh, I know you, miss Rush Limbaugh.
And by the way, let me say this. Sometimes people
will criticize Clay and Buck to me. And first of all,
Clay and Buck are friends of mine, good friends, dear friends.
I love them. But I also think you have to
(17:15):
understand that was the most coveted spot in radio. It
was also the spot that every single person was scared
to death that they would have to follow Rush. And
you have to realize it, no matter who you put
(17:37):
in that position, that was going to be insanely tough.
And look, they're different than Rush, but so is everybody else.
So all all I would say is you don't have
to minimize other people to show your love for Rush.
(17:58):
Nobody is Rush. The boys would say that, Clein Buck
say that, So what everybody else. Hannity's not Rush, Glen
Bak's not Rush.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
They're all different. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I do ask me any things on Facebook sometimes and
I say, you know, prefer you make it a yes
or no question, and when you do it, don't ask
me to rank what is the best this or the
best that. I don't think in those terms. And the
reason is I think in terms. I'm all for winning
a trophy. If you win the championship, okay, who won
the championship that team, But when you ask me what's
(18:33):
the best bourbon or what's the best barbecue cut, or
what's this or what's that? The thing about it is
I stopped thinking that way a long time ago. Because
if this is the best restaurant and I decide it's
the best restaurant and it goes out of business.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I'm bummed out right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
So what I learned was to enjoy a lot of things.
It's a little more stoicism. I am a person of
deep Christian faith, but I think in a secular sense
there is something to be learned from meditation and from calm,
and from resetting and balancing yourself out. And I think
(19:15):
that understanding that you want to find joy in little
things and not indulge in anger. Well, one of the
ways I found joy was gas station candy or little
things that I can enjoy that don't cost a lot
(19:36):
of money, that are plentiful, that are replaceable. So I
say all that because it's been bubbling up. I really
miss Russe Limbaugh. I miss being able to you know,
our morning show ends at eleven AM, and then we
spend about an hour or so producing things for different
stations we have around the country, and then we typically
(20:00):
take a little break, maybe we'll go work out, maybe
go visit a show sponsor. And during that drive, I
would look forward to turning it on mid show and
seeing what Rush was talking about. Loved it so much
fun And you know, you know, you take for granted
it's free, So since you didn't have to pay for it,
you don't realize how much you valued it because you'd
(20:20):
never been forced to show that you valued it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You got it for free.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The cost of hearing Rush was listening to the show
sponsors in between, and hopefully spending your money with them
instead of somewhere else. And I know I spent money
on the show sponsors. I believed in Rush. I wanted
to support the show. So anyway, I missed him so
much when he went off the air. And I was
so honored when Ali and the Guy Dean and all
(20:48):
the guys invited us to guest hosts on Christmas Eve
the year that he passed, and Clay and Buck were
taking a much needed vacation at the time. And you
know what, when the theme song started, you know, we
had prepared, we staffed up, we hired Jim Mudd, we'
kept on since then. When Russia's theme song started, they
(21:10):
were counting down for us. He said, all right, uh,
theme in five four three two one, but when it starts,
don't don't down on on on. Ramon looked at me
and he goes, I'm gonna be honest, I'm nervous. And
we had talked about we're going to be cool. We'll
be cool. How's Phonsie's cool?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Cool? Like Phonsie? Anyway, I just.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's like my brother and my mom. When you lose people,
I like to talk about them. And I hope you
understand that. So here was Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore
in nineteen ninety two in a debate, and I just
love Rush.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Limbaugh got local environmental problem regional problems like acid rain.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now we've got a.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Whole new category of global or strategic problems, which include
the hole in the ode zone layer which now could
appear above the United States, global climate change, the destruction
of the rainforest at a rate that means they'll be
totally gone in another few decades unless we've got the
pollution of the oceans and the atmosphere and the light.
These represent brand new challenges that call for a new
(22:14):
kind of respond Russia.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know, and
you tend to I don't want to see you dismiss
all of these issues, but at least you dismissed them
as having been proven beyond the shadow of a death.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
Absolutely, I don't think that there's anything conclusive about what
Senator Gore said, With all due respect, I think, for example,
there is no ozone hole over the United States. If
we want to get into the detailed discussion of ozone depletion,
we can. But I think ted that there is not
a crisis.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
See, this is the problem I have.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
I don't think the earth is fragile. I don't think
the ecology is fragilely balanced and I think that the
doomsday industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood
acting community who say we've only got ten years left
to save our planet.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
We've got to act now.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
There's no way if what these people say is true,
that we can solve these problems in ten years. Anyway,
it's budget time in Washington. NASA's being cut, and I
think that biness fright and the doom scenario is designed
to frighten people. Everything in this country today seems to
be a crisis. We can't do anything without it being
having to face it as a crisis. We don't have
(23:18):
any time to think about it. There are as many
scientists and maybe even more on the opposite side of
all of these doomsday predictions, and I think that that, oh,
yes there are that's not true.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
If I can dump in there dead where the ozone
hole is concerned, for example, the linkage between these chemical
flora flora garments and the ozone hole is established. There
may be one hundredth of one percent of the scientific
community that disputes it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, no, no, no, it's far more than that.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Has had that the environmental movements, as fueled by the
militants who lead it I think is the new home
of socialism.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
The Ozone hole is threatening to open up above North America,
above in a bunk. And still we're not reacting.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll be careful. It's coming.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Al Gore says it's coming.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's been coming since the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Something nice.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can always say it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I told you earlier that Al Gore they let him
out of the nuthouse again. I mean, this couldn't be
any better, could it. Let's roll Joe Biden out for
another speech. No, he's killing the brand yep, how about
Kamalas she wants to give a speech? No, what are
you gonna do? Stick with aoc. Bernie Sanders, that dude
(24:34):
with the crooked finger who points it all the.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Time, has that awful way of talking.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
You know, they make my accent sound stupid, my Southern accent.
We're not very smart. Tell me you like Bernie sanders accent.
You tell me that sounds like a guy. That man
he put his head so far up Marxist theories that
he came.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I better not so.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I told you earlier that they got al Gore out
on the And let's make room for Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin
Crockett said, we don't need to be worried about boys
and girls' locker rooms or boys being transitioned. That that's stupid.
We need to stop that. You're going to get a
steady dose of Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Bernie Sanders
and Al Gore and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because
(25:24):
you being aggravated by it, and other people who tune
in just to find out what's going on, realizing how
crazy they are. That's the point. There is a grand
strategy here. I mean, sure, I could play Milton Friedman
and Thomas Soul all day long. We could have a
party and talk about our core ideas and capitalism, but
(25:47):
that's not how we motivate people to work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Folk Anyway, I told you they let.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Al Gore out of the nuthouse to give another speech,
and I said, you know, at least this time he
didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans. So I
got an email said, did he really talk about rain
bombs and boiling oceans? Do you think I would make
that up? So Ramon went deep into the archives and
(26:14):
dusted this one off. This was Algorre speaking at the WEF.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's the world.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
We got a bombing for these emissions down.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Hey, used to hit that too early.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Bring it back, all right, go, We're going to bring
these emissions down. And just to put the science in
a slightly different context, people are familiar with that thin
blue line that the astronauts bring back in their pictures
from space. That's the part of the atmosphere that has oxygen,
(26:44):
the troposphere, and it's only five to seven kilometers thick.
That's what we're using as an open sewer. If you
could drive a car straight up in the air at
interstate highway speeds, you get to the top of that
blue line in five minutes, and all the greenhouse gas
pollution would be below you. We're still putting one hundred
and sixty two million tons into it every single day,
(27:05):
and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra
heat as would be released by six hundred thousand Heirosima
class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth.
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and
the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the
land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and
(27:26):
raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate
refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century. Look
at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come
from just a few million refugees.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What about a billion?
Speaker 6 (27:40):
We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
We have to act.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
So in answer to your question, I would say, we
have to have a sense of urgency much greater than
we have yet had and we have had, and we need.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
To make some changes. You know what.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Ramon was laughing when we started into our second segment
and he said, you're going to do two segments on
al Gore.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I didn't expect to do this.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I didn't, but al Gore poles so badly, and it's
so annoying, and so he's like herpies. You can't get
rid of him. He's like a roach that he's in
the news. And so I told Ramone, dig into the archive,
your choice, dealer's choice, pull out one of your favorite
al Gore's.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
In the next hour, I promise we'll move to something different.
What a beautiful day. I know you want to go
do something. We could go to the beach. Nah, I
don't feel like swimming today. Maybe I could drive us
out to the country and we could go for a hike. Okay,
(28:50):
that's weird. I don't remember raining today's forecast. I know
it's really coming down. Look over there, is that a tornado?
It is the hell is happening? I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
It was beautiful here just a minute ago.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh my god, it's an earthquake. What the heck is
going on?
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I think I know why this is happening.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Why what kind of car is this?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It Ford f one fifty it.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Is I love trucks, and I only try vehicles that
get low mileage to the gallon.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why, honey, this is at fault. When you started that car.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
It created just enough carbon emissions and the atmosphere to
set off a massive climate change crisis.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh no, this is all my fault. This is just
like what al Gore said when he tried to warn us.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Oh no, we should have gotten a prius. Why didn't
we listen to al Gore?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Al Gore tried to save us, but we were too
stupid to listen, and now we're dying from climate change.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Climate change and drowning, but mostly the drowning.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You were right, Olt, Gore, You were right, You were right.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
L Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
L all?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Wake up? L l L honey, wake up? Al l
Are you okay?
Speaker 8 (30:09):
L what?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Yes, I was just having a dream, honey.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
No.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
It a goods dream, a very very good dream. Now
I'm going to go back to sleep and try to
dream it again. Now close your eye. I'll gore, I
mean brethident gore.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You know, this is as good a time as any
to remind you folks. We've lost the schools. Between drag
Queen Story Hour and the universities, we've lost the media.
When you study wars and you see a country and
you see the institutions of power and influence each falling,
(31:08):
you can see where you are and revolution. You know,
as these things happen, and these different pillars of public
opinion and of strength, industry and universities, we've pretty much
lost every pillar of influence in our society, even many churches.
(31:29):
It's crazy what's coming out of some of the pulpits
around this country. But the one thing you can control
is your own dinner tainment. So teach your children talk
about difficult things. Don't scream at them if they disagree
with you. They may not understand things the way you do,
but teach them
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Let's have a conversation about democracy. We are not a democracy.
I know that Ms. Evans, your junior year Civics teacher
told you that. I know that we have a love
affair with his idea that we take democracy to the
(00:53):
rest of the world, that democracy is good, that democracy
is battling communism. We believe in democracy because we're not Heathens,
and it is ingrained into Americans that we have a
democracy and we want everyone to have democracy because democracy
(01:15):
is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Leaving aside for a.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Moment that Iran did not have democracy when Shah Paulavi
was governing a very stable, relatively secular nation and democracy
led to the Muslim revolution, Islamist revolution that made that
the most dangerous country in the world today. That was
(01:40):
actually democracy. Disturbingly so, Egypt was a stable country and
the leader was deposed, overthrown, and pushed out for the
politically popular Muslim brotherhood. I think Morear was the name
(02:04):
of the replacement, and we knew it would happen. We
have seen democracy as such destroy certain countries, particularly fanatical
Muslim countries, and the concept of democracy per se needs
(02:25):
to be understood clearly. Now that's not a popular thing
to say, right, Hitler bad, Lincoln good. We like to
have very simple things that we can hold on to
because it simplifies things and then we can go to
the ball game and not have to worry about all
this heavy stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Abe Lincoln is the greatest president ever because.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He is honest and he's he's honest as day as long,
and he's good.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Honest. Say we love all honest ave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, what about what about the fact that honest Abe
had a general removed in Missouri or in anticipating the
slaves because he wasn't ready for that. I think it
was Fremont. Well, he's honest A as long as he's honest. A.
It's not to say that nothing we know is true.
Everything is untrue, and it's not my message. My message
(03:16):
is that we must be careful to understand what we're
talking about, and that complicated matters can be simplified. But
you and I, not the idiots, not the low information.
You and I have to think on a different plane
because we have to explain to the other folks how
(03:36):
the cowie to cabbage. To begin with, back to my
original point. We are not a democracy, pure and simple.
If we were, it would be like the ancient days
of Greece. We would be called to vote every other day.
It may feel like you're constantly having to vote. Instead
of Texas, right now, we have our non uniform election dates.
We're in the middle of an early vote for school
(03:58):
boards and all towns and mud boards and bonds and
things like that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And you know, between the.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Every two years and every four years and off year
elections and all this stuff, it can add up. It
can seem like you're constantly voting, but you're not. Congress
is but you're not. If you were, you wouldn't be able
to do any work. So what we do is we
vote democratically demost meaning the people, the populace krussey crasy
(04:28):
meaning a government of So a theocracy is a government
of religion. So Iran would be not a pure democracy
per se, but a government by the Muslim governing authority.
A democracy would be a government of the people, we
(04:52):
like to say, but we would be voting all the time.
So instead we vote for people, we call them representatives
in the lower House. We vote on them every two
years and then We vote every six years on senators,
two per state. That was part of the compromise, and
(05:13):
they serve for six years, and each of the states
gets two senators, even if you only have one congressman.
So in the upper House, the Senate, every state is
represented with two senators, which means some states are a
bit overrepresented because they're very small. In states like California, Texas,
New York, and Florida are underrepresented because we have so
many people represented with only two people in the Senate,
(05:34):
whereas you get a state like Vermont or Idaho and
they get two senators, or Montana or Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But that was the compromise.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The House is based on population, so we have a
democratic republic. We vote on people who then do all
the voting for us, and we may not like the
way they vote, but that's the process. Well, you and
I know that the life of Donald Trump is not
as simple as we might like to believe.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You and I know that the life of.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Tom Brady or Bob Dylan or any number of other
people is quite unlike our own. Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis,
or a lot of people, and we probably wouldn't understand
their life. It would be quite different than our own.
(06:30):
We don't want to hear that because they're a celebrity
and we hate celebrity. I get that, and we don't.
And they're certainly not better than us. I'm not saying that,
but it is to say that they're different from us.
And one of the ways people at that level are
very different, and Elon Musk is a great example, is
that Elon has moved in and out of companies in
a very loose way for the last twenty five years,
(06:54):
on a scale you wouldn't imagine PayPal. For instance, Tesla
was a company that existed. He came into, took it
to the next level. And when he comes in, he's
twenty four to seven. He sleeps under a desk. He
puts a desk out in the middle of the floor,
the manufacturing floor, and he sleeps under there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He also just happened to create a boring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Company, which he quite tongue in cheek, called the boring
company that bores under ground to create tunnels. He created SpaceX,
which has surpassed NASA in space travel. It's absolutely amazing
the things that they've accomplished. He has created technologies neurolink
(07:33):
that could change everything about everything. He's been involved at
the top levels of AI and oh, by the way,
Starlink the greatest provider of internet access in the world,
especially to places that couldn't get wires, and we don't
even think about that. So when he came in to
do DOGE, it was never meant that he was going
(07:55):
to hang out there. This is not a guy who
has receptions and brings all his family photo in there.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in and out.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
So when you're hearing people say, which I believe to
be true and always did, that he probably leaves in
the month of May. And now he has said it himself.
That's not rancor between him and the president. That's who
Elon Musk is. He's got. He's trying to take a
he's trying to take humans tomorrows. Don't let them tell
you the Trump administration's falling apart.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's not.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The others is mccahilly and the girls all get pretty
closing time when you're listening to the Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Show four Sweet Father, this dying, She'll soon be dead.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
We're boiling.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Oh shuts.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Those rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
They keep falling.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Six hundred thousand horosia atomic bombs.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Exploding every day. I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Weird done food a forking us.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Those great bombs are falling on my head. They keep falling.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
The accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat
as would be released by six hundred thousands erosimaglass atomic
bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. That's what's
boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs,
and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating
the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea
(09:26):
level and causing these waves.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Of rain bombs falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Bullion in this sentry four.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Sweet mother is dying. She'll soon be dead.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We're boiling ocehuns.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Poves, rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They keep falling.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Six hundred thousand heroshia atomic bombs away.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rain bombs fallen on top of my head.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
They're like rain drops, but instead of water, it's nuclear
bombs every day, six hundred thousand of them.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's called science.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Maybe you've heard of it, and there's only one solution
destroy Western civilization.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Science. I'm not much of a Whistler.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Thank you to Chance McLean for giving us that intro
to the story that they let al Gore out of
the nuthouse again to give yet another speech on global warming.
He didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans this time,
but he did go with a proven losing Democrat strategy.
(11:01):
He compared the Trump administration two. You remember Godwin's law, right,
Hitler's Third Reich.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I want to note that before I use what is
not a president? I understand very well why it is
wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
But there are important lessons from the history of that
emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential.
In the immediate aftermath of World War two, a small
group of philosophers who had escaped Hitler's murderous regime returned
to Germany and performed a kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Moral autopsy on the Third Rich.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
The most famous of the so called Frankfurt Stool of
philosophers was a man named Jurgen Habermas. Best known, I
would say, but it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno, who
wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into
hell was and I quote, the conversion of all questions
(12:10):
of truth into questions of power. He described how the
Nazis and I quote again, attacked the very heart of
the distinction between true and false end quote. The Trump
administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred
(12:31):
version of reality. They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of
the other way around, and expect us to believe it
at home. They attack heroes who have defended our nation
in war and against cyber attacks as traders. They say
the climate crisis is a host invented by the Chinese
(12:53):
to destroy American manufacturing. They say coal is clean. They
say win turbanes called cancer. They say sea level rise,
this creates more.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hold on, Hold on, you can laugh all you want.
I do believe all that. Now, you can laugh all
you want.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You're that crazed poodle the massage the masseuse said sexually
assaulted her. You're that crazy al gore. So you can
laugh all you want. They say it was created by
the Chinese. Yeah, yeah, and so was COVID. Yeah exactly.
We know who's paying your bills. You want to laugh
(13:35):
at opinions that we have, so be it. I do
think those things. I am unashamed that I think those things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This creates more beachfront poverty.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Their allies and the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue
that those who want to stop using this guy as
an open sewer for God's sake need to be more
realistic and acquiesce through the huge increases and the burning
of more and more fossil fuels, which is what they're pushing,
even though that is the principal cause of the climate crisis.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, al Gore never recovered from south Park.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Comedy is so powerful, especially at pointing things out that
people may not have noticed. South Park pointed out that
al Gore is not in on the joke. Al Gore
is the guy out there. You've been out with a
group of guys. You don't know him that well, but
(14:38):
there's one guy in the group and he's lying, yeah, well, yes,
it was.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
A good hang out with you guy. You know, I
was in the Olympics. Oh you were. I was an Olympics.
I was an Olympics. I was a track star. I
saw you're white.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I pretty much know every white track star going back
fifty years actually maybe going back to Jesse Owens, even
some of the track stars from other countries. Which country
where us?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
What year of eighty six? Where was eighty it was?
You mean eighty four?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
You mean Los Angeles? And everybody you know, nobody says
you're a liar, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You just kind of shoot a sidelong glance and everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Al Gore is the guy that everybody knows is an
absolute buffoon except for him, and he just keeps going
at it like he's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And South Park.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exposed him, taking himself seriously so badly that he has
never recovered.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And he never will.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
You see, there is something out there which threatens our
very existence, and maybe that into the human race as
we know it. I'm talking, of course, about Man Bear Pig.
It is a creature which roams the earth alone. It
is half man, half bear, and half pig. Some people
(16:15):
say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well, I'm here
to tell you now, Man bear Pig is very real
and he most certainly exists.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'm cereal.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
Man bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what
you've done. Man Bear Pig simply wants.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
To get you. I'm super cereal.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember when Rush Limbaugh debated al Gore on Nightline.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We'll play that coming up. That's a romp through some
good history right there.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Frozen putting on a stake, the Michael Berry shoe, Jello
brand pudding pops, maybe the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Al Gore has been a climate nut for decades.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I miss Rush Limbaugh, I know you, miss Rush Limbaugh.
And by the way, let me say this. Sometimes people
will criticize Clay and Buck to me. And first of all,
Clay and Buck are friends of mine, good friends, dear friends.
I love them. But I also think you have to
(17:15):
understand that was the most coveted spot in radio. It
was also the spot that every single person was scared
to death that they would have to follow Rush. And
you have to realize it, no matter who you put
(17:37):
in that position, that was going to be insanely tough.
And look, they're different than Rush, but so is everybody else.
So all all I would say is you don't have
to minimize other people to show your love for Rush.
(17:58):
Nobody is Rush. The boys would say that, Clein Buck
say that, So what everybody else. Hannity's not Rush, Glen
Bak's not Rush.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
They're all different. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I do ask me any things on Facebook sometimes and
I say, you know, prefer you make it a yes
or no question, and when you do it, don't ask
me to rank what is the best this or the
best that. I don't think in those terms. And the
reason is I think in terms. I'm all for winning
a trophy. If you win the championship, okay, who won
the championship that team, But when you ask me what's
(18:33):
the best bourbon or what's the best barbecue cut, or
what's this or what's that? The thing about it is
I stopped thinking that way a long time ago. Because
if this is the best restaurant and I decide it's
the best restaurant and it goes out of business.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I'm bummed out right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
So what I learned was to enjoy a lot of things.
It's a little more stoicism. I am a person of
deep Christian faith, but I think in a secular sense
there is something to be learned from meditation and from calm,
and from resetting and balancing yourself out. And I think
(19:15):
that understanding that you want to find joy in little
things and not indulge in anger. Well, one of the
ways I found joy was gas station candy or little
things that I can enjoy that don't cost a lot
(19:36):
of money, that are plentiful, that are replaceable. So I
say all that because it's been bubbling up. I really
miss Russe Limbaugh. I miss being able to you know,
our morning show ends at eleven AM, and then we
spend about an hour or so producing things for different
stations we have around the country, and then we typically
(20:00):
take a little break, maybe we'll go work out, maybe
go visit a show sponsor. And during that drive, I
would look forward to turning it on mid show and
seeing what Rush was talking about. Loved it so much
fun And you know, you know, you take for granted
it's free, So since you didn't have to pay for it,
you don't realize how much you valued it because you'd
(20:20):
never been forced to show that you valued it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You got it for free.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The cost of hearing Rush was listening to the show
sponsors in between, and hopefully spending your money with them
instead of somewhere else. And I know I spent money
on the show sponsors. I believed in Rush. I wanted
to support the show. So anyway, I missed him so
much when he went off the air. And I was
so honored when Ali and the Guy Dean and all
(20:48):
the guys invited us to guest hosts on Christmas Eve
the year that he passed, and Clay and Buck were
taking a much needed vacation at the time. And you
know what, when the theme song started, you know, we
had prepared, we staffed up, we hired Jim Mudd, we'
kept on since then. When Russia's theme song started, they
(21:10):
were counting down for us. He said, all right, uh,
theme in five four three two one, but when it starts,
don't don't down on on on. Ramon looked at me
and he goes, I'm gonna be honest, I'm nervous. And
we had talked about we're going to be cool. We'll
be cool. How's Phonsie's cool?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Cool? Like Phonsie? Anyway, I just.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's like my brother and my mom. When you lose people,
I like to talk about them. And I hope you
understand that. So here was Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore
in nineteen ninety two in a debate, and I just
love Rush.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Limbaugh got local environmental problem regional problems like acid rain.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now we've got a.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Whole new category of global or strategic problems, which include
the hole in the ode zone layer which now could
appear above the United States, global climate change, the destruction
of the rainforest at a rate that means they'll be
totally gone in another few decades unless we've got the
pollution of the oceans and the atmosphere and the light.
These represent brand new challenges that call for a new
(22:14):
kind of respond Russia.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know, and
you tend to I don't want to see you dismiss
all of these issues, but at least you dismissed them
as having been proven beyond the shadow of a death.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
Absolutely, I don't think that there's anything conclusive about what
Senator Gore said, With all due respect, I think, for example,
there is no ozone hole over the United States. If
we want to get into the detailed discussion of ozone depletion,
we can. But I think ted that there is not
a crisis.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
See, this is the problem I have.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
I don't think the earth is fragile. I don't think
the ecology is fragilely balanced and I think that the
doomsday industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood
acting community who say we've only got ten years left
to save our planet.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
We've got to act now.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
There's no way if what these people say is true,
that we can solve these problems in ten years. Anyway,
it's budget time in Washington. NASA's being cut, and I
think that biness fright and the doom scenario is designed
to frighten people. Everything in this country today seems to
be a crisis. We can't do anything without it being
having to face it as a crisis. We don't have
(23:18):
any time to think about it. There are as many
scientists and maybe even more on the opposite side of
all of these doomsday predictions, and I think that that, oh,
yes there are that's not true.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
If I can dump in there dead where the ozone
hole is concerned, for example, the linkage between these chemical
flora flora garments and the ozone hole is established. There
may be one hundredth of one percent of the scientific
community that disputes it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, no, no, no, it's far more than that.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Has had that the environmental movements, as fueled by the
militants who lead it I think is the new home
of socialism.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
The Ozone hole is threatening to open up above North America,
above in a bunk. And still we're not reacting.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll be careful. It's coming.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Al Gore says it's coming.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's been coming since the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Something nice.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can always say it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I told you earlier that Al Gore they let him
out of the nuthouse again. I mean, this couldn't be
any better, could it. Let's roll Joe Biden out for
another speech. No, he's killing the brand yep, how about
Kamalas she wants to give a speech? No, what are
you gonna do? Stick with aoc. Bernie Sanders, that dude
(24:34):
with the crooked finger who points it all the.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Time, has that awful way of talking.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
You know, they make my accent sound stupid, my Southern accent.
We're not very smart. Tell me you like Bernie sanders accent.
You tell me that sounds like a guy. That man
he put his head so far up Marxist theories that
he came.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I better not so.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I told you earlier that they got al Gore out
on the And let's make room for Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin
Crockett said, we don't need to be worried about boys
and girls' locker rooms or boys being transitioned. That that's stupid.
We need to stop that. You're going to get a
steady dose of Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Bernie Sanders
and Al Gore and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because
(25:24):
you being aggravated by it, and other people who tune
in just to find out what's going on, realizing how
crazy they are. That's the point. There is a grand
strategy here. I mean, sure, I could play Milton Friedman
and Thomas Soul all day long. We could have a
party and talk about our core ideas and capitalism, but
(25:47):
that's not how we motivate people to work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Folk Anyway, I told you they let.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Al Gore out of the nuthouse to give another speech,
and I said, you know, at least this time he
didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans. So I
got an email said, did he really talk about rain
bombs and boiling oceans? Do you think I would make
that up? So Ramon went deep into the archives and
(26:14):
dusted this one off. This was Algorre speaking at the WEF.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's the world.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
We got a bombing for these emissions down.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Hey, used to hit that too early.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Bring it back, all right, go, We're going to bring
these emissions down. And just to put the science in
a slightly different context, people are familiar with that thin
blue line that the astronauts bring back in their pictures
from space. That's the part of the atmosphere that has oxygen,
(26:44):
the troposphere, and it's only five to seven kilometers thick.
That's what we're using as an open sewer. If you
could drive a car straight up in the air at
interstate highway speeds, you get to the top of that
blue line in five minutes, and all the greenhouse gas
pollution would be below you. We're still putting one hundred
and sixty two million tons into it every single day,
(27:05):
and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra
heat as would be released by six hundred thousand Heirosima
class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth.
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and
the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the
land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and
(27:26):
raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate
refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century. Look
at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come
from just a few million refugees.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What about a billion?
Speaker 6 (27:40):
We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
We have to act.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
So in answer to your question, I would say, we
have to have a sense of urgency much greater than
we have yet had and we have had, and we need.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
To make some changes. You know what.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Ramon was laughing when we started into our second segment
and he said, you're going to do two segments on
al Gore.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I didn't expect to do this.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I didn't, but al Gore poles so badly, and it's
so annoying, and so he's like herpies. You can't get
rid of him. He's like a roach that he's in
the news. And so I told Ramone, dig into the archive,
your choice, dealer's choice, pull out one of your favorite
al Gore's.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
In the next hour, I promise we'll move to something different.
What a beautiful day. I know you want to go
do something. We could go to the beach. Nah, I
don't feel like swimming today. Maybe I could drive us
out to the country and we could go for a hike. Okay,
(28:50):
that's weird. I don't remember raining today's forecast. I know
it's really coming down. Look over there, is that a tornado?
It is the hell is happening? I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
It was beautiful here just a minute ago.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh my god, it's an earthquake. What the heck is
going on?
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I think I know why this is happening.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Why what kind of car is this?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It Ford f one fifty it.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Is I love trucks, and I only try vehicles that
get low mileage to the gallon.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why, honey, this is at fault. When you started that car.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
It created just enough carbon emissions and the atmosphere to
set off a massive climate change crisis.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh no, this is all my fault. This is just
like what al Gore said when he tried to warn us.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Oh no, we should have gotten a prius. Why didn't
we listen to al Gore?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Al Gore tried to save us, but we were too
stupid to listen, and now we're dying from climate change.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Climate change and drowning, but mostly the drowning.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You were right, Olt, Gore, You were right, You were right.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
L Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
L all?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Wake up? L l L honey, wake up? Al l
Are you okay?
Speaker 8 (30:09):
L what?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Yes, I was just having a dream, honey.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
No.
Speaker 11 (30:16):
It a goods dream, a very very good dream. Now
I'm going to go back to sleep and try to
dream it again. Now close your eye. I'll gore, I
mean brethident gore.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You know, this is as good a time as any
to remind you folks. We've lost the schools. Between drag
Queen Story Hour and the universities, we've lost the media.
When you study wars and you see a country and
you see the institutions of power and influence each falling,
(31:08):
you can see where you are and revolution. You know,
as these things happen, and these different pillars of public
opinion and of strength, industry and universities, we've pretty much
lost every pillar of influence in our society, even many churches.
(31:29):
It's crazy what's coming out of some of the pulpits
around this country. But the one thing you can control
is your own dinner tainment. So teach your children talk
about difficult things. Don't scream at them if they disagree
with you. They may not understand things the way you do,
but teach them
