It's that time, time, Time, Time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
More deep.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens,
and because of the crisis which is even now developing,
this radio station will remain on the air.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Day and night.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
There are warnings that the US is dangerously close to
a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 7 (00:41):
I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 8 (00:44):
The media is convinced that the actions of President Trump,
like executive orders and Department of Government efficiency, have created
or will soon create a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 9 (00:55):
Those that have said that we may face a constitutional crime, I.
Speaker 10 (01:01):
Want you to know that the crisis is here.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
Constitutional crisis, grossly unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This is a genuine constitutional crisis.
Speaker 11 (01:11):
I think this is the most serious constitution crisis the
country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting
to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, you can crime.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The river.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Might not vote to elect Elmo as a Bond villain
as our president of the United States. We have to
uphold the constitution.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's what we're here to do now.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Republicans have attacked us time and time again because we
model the values.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Of diversity and inclusion.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
Well, that is what America is about.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Don't let us then.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Tell us we're not American.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
We are of the true Americans here. America is about us.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We have to reclaim our country.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
USA, USA, USA.
Speaker 12 (01:58):
Well, this is all about taking over the government in
order to advance the interests of Elon Musk and the
billionaires at the expense of everybody else in America. It
(02:19):
was the big lie and the big betrayal.
Speaker 10 (02:23):
We have got to tell Elon Musk.
Speaker 12 (02:25):
Nobody elected your ass Nobody talk to you could get
all of our private information.
Speaker 13 (02:33):
Nobody told you you could be in.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Charge of the payments.
Speaker 13 (02:36):
Of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We have told you you've.
Speaker 12 (02:39):
Made enough money off our government yourself.
Speaker 13 (02:43):
Elon Musk is seizing power from the American people.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
You remember the line, don't fire till you see the
whites of their eyes. You've seen William Wallace and Brave Heart.
Wait until the right moment when you're into me. Is failing.
Don't stop him, even if his failing while failing is
(03:13):
offensive to you, let him continue to do what he's doing.
Get listeners. Very upset that the Democrats are going down
to El Salvador. I expect other people to be upset.
I don't expect you to be upset. I expect you
(03:33):
to be rejoicing. Leave it to the low information voter
to go, hey, listen, I ain't very political or not.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I I don't want to get into all that. No.
I know, y'all watch Fox New, listen to the radio
and Michael Berry and all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
But I just I don't want to get into a
big conversation about it. But for me, it don't make
no sense in people going down to El Salvador trying
to bring back gang bangers. We got enough gang bangers here.
Make no sense to me. Let the low information voter
see what's happening, root for them to do this. Don't
(04:10):
invest your own emotions. You're too smart for that. These
people are making the worst blunder imaginable. They are drafting
JaMarcus Russell with the first draft pick and tying up
all their cap money.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Don't stop them. You want them to do this so.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
During an appearance on CBS News, the vice chairman of
the Democrat National Committee, David Hogg said, democracy is what
put us through school shootings. This whole democracy, this is overrated.
That's how come we have school shootings is because of democracy.
Speaker 14 (04:46):
We go out there as democrats all the time and
say democracy is the most important thing. We have to
defend democracy. We fail to acknowledge that this generation democracy
is what put us through school shooter drills and school shootings.
It's what's put us through the climate crisis and so
on much more. What we have to do is prove
that democracy matters by standing up to the special interests
that are killing the American dream and making our young
(05:07):
people lose faith not only in the our party, but
the future of this country.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That is why we're doing He.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Also said, trying to amp up the intensity, which scares
most people. He told Jim Psaki on MSNBC, this is
a break the glass moment.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This is doesn't violate by laws.
Speaker 14 (05:26):
It is something that has and other vice chairs that
have been involved in primaries before.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yes, it's something that has angered traditional DNC members.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Some are you some of them?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Some of them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't want to overstate, but how do you think?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I mean, do you are you ready to put that
at risk?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I mean, if they said you can't do this, are
you going.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To still break the glass moment? I'm meaning if they.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Tell you can't do this, You're going to leave your
vice chair job.
Speaker 14 (05:48):
Ultimately, if they decide to remove me, I have no
control over that. I'm going to do everything in my
I got elected to this position to fight to win
back our young people and make sure that across the board,
with every single with every single demographic, pretty much except
the elderly and the highly educated, we lost margins this
past election cycle. This is a major crisis for our
party right now, and it needs to be met with
(06:10):
the ferocity it deserves so that we're able to win
back those young people, win back the margins.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Yes, yes, everyone says it's we're at a crossroads, it's
the end of the world, and young people think it's
the most important because they've not learned patients. He was
on ABC this week along with Donna Brazil, who ran
al Gore's campaign, and she warned this little contemptible work
that the people he wants to primary Democrats, that is,
(06:37):
are in seats that women and minorities are holding.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Uh ah, you young people, don't you.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
You can take it from the white moderate Democrats, but
not from women in minorities.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh oh, the sacred cows are clashing.
Speaker 15 (06:54):
Trust in all of our institutions, to media, business, whole
civil societ.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We're in a crisis.
Speaker 15 (07:02):
I don't know if we want to call it a
constitutional crisis, but we're in, as former President Biden was
het an inflection point. Look, I think what David is
trying to do is to not just help to re
energize the party, but to help rebrand the Democratic Party.
The concern that officers of the DNC right now they
(07:22):
have signed the neutrality pledge. David did not sign the
neutrality pledge, so he's in hot water with Ken. I
told him he threw a rock in the water and
the two of them and the officers they got to
get out of the hot water. But that's not my
position right now. My position is many of these so
called saint blue seats and I can get in trouble.
Many of them are seats that women and minorities finally
(07:44):
had an opportunity to come and sit in because there
were no seats at the table for us.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So before you.
Speaker 15 (07:49):
Start wiping clean the menu in the place and the seats,
be very careful because many of those seats are in
as where we were.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Party chairman griants. How would you handle a vice chair.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Who was going to well answer and then I'll explain it.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I mean, unfortunately, David, i'd have you ever removed from
the party.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
This is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Issues will bubble up to where they become part of
a pattern as they are highlighted. They may not be
happening more than they were before, at least not much
more than marginally so, but it's a hot topping and
it's being discussed. For instance, it was about twenty seventeen
(08:35):
Harvey Weinstein. Turns out Harvey Weinstein was doing some pretty
awful things and once the lid was blown, and to
be clear, he was doing things for several years before
the hammer came down on him. The first several women
(08:57):
who came out and spoke against him were not rewarded
or honored. In fact, they were slandered, it silenced. But
once it became the case that Harvey Weinstein was awful
and that a man in a position with wealth and
power could use that with women who were ambitious to
(09:27):
get sex and in some cases put them in a
situation or lure them in a situation.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It doesn't put them there.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
They choose to be in the hotel room with him alone,
at two o'clock in the morning. Okay, let's make good decisions.
And I don't think ambition alone is a reason to say, well,
I thought it was just going to be a chat
at midnight for me to come up to his room. No, No,
(09:55):
you've got to make better decisions. Well, he was important
and he was controlling the movie, and I wanted to
be in the movie. You've got to make decisions. You've
got to make better decisions. However, there is no doubt
that what he's doing is awful. It's monstrous, it's terrible,
(10:15):
and he was a monster in many ways. But once
that became the issue, then a lot of people started
coming forward and saying, hey, I've kind of been going
through this myself. Boom, there's a new me too allegation,
And so you had a lot of people. It wasn't
that it was happening more than usual. It was that
that was an item that news directors were looking for,
(10:38):
like a hashtag that was coming up in the algorithm. Well,
one of the things that's coming up in the algorithm
these days is white people speaking out very aggressively about
the fact about black on white crime. And there are
a number of people who are emboldened. And it's also
(11:00):
the case that a number of people are now starting
to point out how there are blacks that are out
there basically saying let's kill the white people, let's do this,
and the lies that come out. This is a healthy
market place of ideas. Now, the reason we haven't had
a healthy marketplace of ideas is that if you speak
out and state facts or even opinions, you were silenced
(11:26):
as a racist. Not because you're wrong, No, the rules
of discourse were redrafted to say there can be no disagreement.
This is like silencing people from Facebook or before Elon
owned it, Twitter. So I came across a video of
a zoom call with ten black people discussing the murder
(11:47):
of Austin Metcalf. Now, Austin Metcalf was murdered by Carmelo
Anthony at a track mee their school event, who plunged
a knife into Austin Metcalf's and they're talking about how
this is horrible that this young black man has murdered
this young white man and it's not fair to black people.
(12:09):
And it doesn't take long till the discussion turns to
how white boys kill blacks all the time and get
away with it, which is just not true. And one
woman used Kyle Writtenhouse as killing of three black people
as an example. The only problem is how written House
(12:31):
didn't kill three people and he didn't kill anyone black.
It was white liberals who were trying to kill him,
and he turned and defended himself. Blacks weren't even involved,
But that didn't stop that conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That interesting. Listen to this name a.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
White person that killed a black person that is not
or have not been held accountable in a last George Zimmerman.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
George Zimmerman wasn't even white.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Just say one thing. I don't want to answer your question,
you know who killed who or whatnot? Cal Rittenhouse was
seventeen years old white boy that murdered two, two or
three black kids in Michigan during a protest.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
He was acquitted on all charges.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Uh Jordan Penny, I think that's his name. He choked
out that black homeless man on a train in New York.
We recently was also acquitted of charges.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
So and I guess neither one of those, neither one
of those was killed to stop, you.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Know, but but he was playing out like why there
is there could be I know, I know you don't
think it's true, but there could be like a sense
of white power supremacy in this country because sometimes when
white people do certain crimes, they're not held to the
same extent as black people or other people doing so
you were asking him to give names. I gave you
(14:08):
two and one was actually the same age as the guy,
the black boy that just killed the white guy, and
he was acquitted of all his charges. He was also
a seventeen year old white boy and wiscond And it's like, well,
why why was he acquitted when he actually murdered someone.
You all are saying that, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Because they didn't murder anybody.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
They did, though, what do you mean, No, definitely murdered
two or three people.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Are you familiar with the story? No, I'm not. Okay,
So you.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Can't just make that statement then, because because.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Of the coor of law determined that they was acquitted
of the charges, and that means that he's not a murderer.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
No, that means that the system worked in his favor
based on who he was, because that wouldn't have.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Worked if you just automatically say somebody is when they
not when they got tried in the court of public
in the court of law.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
And the law and the law is always fair, right.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Absolutely absolutely it is in this situation because if that
because if the evidence is showing that he's not guilty,
then why why would I say that he's not guilty.
It's until proving guilty in the court of law. Same
thing for Daniel Penny, I am for I am familiar
with Daniel Penny. I am familiar with what happened on
(15:27):
the subway over I think it was over in New York, right,
I am familiar with Daniel Penny. And in and in
the case of George Floyd, the police officer, the white
police officer who was a part of the Blue Gang,
the Blue Wall absolutely got held accountable and he got
(15:48):
convicted and he's in prison today. And I don't even
think that that was a race I don't even think
that that was a race issue.
Speaker 16 (15:55):
I believe that that was an issue of a cop
over exerting his power over somebody that should not have
been in that position in the first place.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But at the same time, it's Tracy Bird.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the TSAR talk.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My buddy Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I can't think of Steven Tyler without Why do people
do it? Why did somebody have to send me a
picture of Steve Tyler's naked feet. Once I got to
look at those gnarl toes, I can't think about anything
but that. And then, man, Aerosmith's songs are so good.
I mean, Aerosmith can put me in a mood like
it can get me feeling good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
All right.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
So Rob Smith, blackfellow with Turning Point USA, posted a
video apologizing to the white parents of Austin metcalf On
behalf of the black community.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now, I want to be very clear here.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
If a white person shoots, stabs, hangs, murders, kicks runs
over a black person, I do not feel the need
to apologize, to condemn or anything else, just as I
don't feel the need of a white person does it
to a white person. I don't feel there's any need
(17:19):
for a black fellow the need to apologize to these parents.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But he did.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
And I think this gets to this a much deeper
issue than we have time for it today. There is
a constantly reinforced sense of tribe amongst blacks in America,
and it comes from a very dark place, a very
cynical place, a very nefarious place. It comes from a
place of trying to control and corral black people. That's
(17:49):
why you will constantly hear reference to the black community,
but never the white community, because whites won't allow ourselves
to be part of a greater hole. Some community is
the black community located geographically in these zip codes when useful,
(18:11):
And what they'll do when they do that is they'll
go into the Section eight neighborhoods, the poorest black neighborhoods,
and they'll say ninety nine percent of the black community
it supports Barack Obama. Well what about the blacks who
don't live in those zip codes and they live in
a neighborhood that's primarily white where the homes cost two
million in up. You don't go in and ask that
guy who he's voting for or what his views are
(18:34):
on welfare or criminal justice reform? Is that instertring isn't
that interesting? Well, here is Rob Smith and his apology
to the parents of Austin Metcalf. And I've really thought
long and hard about this, really thought long and hard
about this, because there's a certain bravery to a black
man saying, Hey, I just want you to understand. Not
(18:55):
every black person thinks it's okay that your son was murdered.
And I'm embarrassed by the blacks needing to do this,
But I think it speaks to the tribal nature of
how blacks identify and are described in this country, and
I think that's very unhealthy. I happen to have two
black children, and I've made very clear to them from
(19:17):
the beginning. Nobody will tell you how you are to
think because you are black, because people do that. Oh,
you ain't black, you don't feel remember Joe Biden, you
don't vote for me, you ain't black.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
See, these are all.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
The very very deep psychological weapons used against black blacks. Oh,
if you're black, you don't feel that way. Well, I
don't feel that way whether.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
You ain't black.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Who are you to question my blackness or his blackness
or her blackness or whatever else? But that's done every day,
isn't it. And Rob Smith felt that he felt appall
upon him. I need people to understand how I feel
about this.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Here's what he said on behalf of the black community.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
I would like to apologize to the parents Boston Metcalf
for making a hero out of the young man that
killed your son. I apologize that there are so few
fathers around, and so few male figures around to teach
the Black community about emotional discipline, about what's right from wrong,
about emotional regulation, about not making a hero out of
(20:23):
a thug and a criminal. I apologize on behalf of
the black community because they are the ones that are
raising money for your son's killer. They are the ones
that are funding this new lavish lifestyle that your son's
killer is living. I apologize on behalf of the Black
community because they are so confused about again what's right
(20:47):
and what's wrong, that in some weird twisted sense of
racial solidarity, they would celebrate the young man that killed your.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Child in cold blood of it.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I apologize on behalf of the Black community because you
don't deserve to see this. You deserve to be grieving
your child. You deserve to be remembering your child. You
deserve to be able to share stories about what an
amazing human being in young man he was. But instead
(21:24):
you're subject to online mobs that support the killer.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Of your child.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
You are subject to people that are raising money.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
To support the killer of your child.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
You are subjected to people in the black community that
are making excuses for the killer of your child and
making your child seem that he is somehow at fault.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
For being stabbed to death.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
So for what you are seeing on social media, for
what you will continue to say see for the next
few months, I apologize to you on behalf of the
Black community, because a lot of us are so bereft
of empathy.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
A lot of us.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Are so angry, in hurt and bitter and damaged, in
trapped in cycles of pathology that we would make excuses
for a young man that stabbed another young man to
debt and we are so trapped in that pathology that
we don't even know which way is up. I apologize
(22:37):
on behalf of the black community for their treatment towards
your son's killer. And I can only hope that your
child can rest in peace and that you can remember
him as he was.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
So let me be very clear.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
We have a lot of black listeners and I notice
I mean, will send me an email say I just
what you know. I don't feel that way. You don't
have to do that. I don't put you in a tribe.
I don't assume what jersey you wear and you shouldn't
let anybody else When people like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson,
(23:18):
or Barack Obama or anyone else claim to speak on
behalf of blacks.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They are not empowering you. They're doing the opposite.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
They are stealing your agency. They are claiming a mantle,
a platform that they have not earned. It is unjust.
But don't think that I ever believe you are an individual.
I assume every individual thinks for themselves.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Where I can't believe he just said that happens to
Michael very show.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
One of the things I'm enjoying a great deal is
watching all Democrats who campaigned for Biden and then Kamala
Harris now claim that Biden, who they told us at
the time, was man, this guy was top of the line.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Poor old morning Joe. I mean, it's just sad. It's pitiful.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
After telling us, you know, Mika, his mistress, Mikah's family
has known Joe since seventy two, and Joe's sharper than
he's ever been, and now it's coming out that they
all knew the poor fellow. Ron Klain, who basically was
running the auto pen, who was running the country now
says that he would come outside and.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Fall down and you know they'd had to go wake
him up. It was just pitiful.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Well, Elizabeth Warren was confronted during a podcast as she
stammered and struggled to explain why she's so obviously lied
by claiming that he was He was, you know, Biden
was as sharp as ever. The host of the podcast.
(25:04):
The podcast is called Talk Easy. The host's name, I
hope I'm pronouncing this correctly is Sam Fragoso, and he
does a very very good job of keeping this interview
on point and forcing her to answer the question, do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last year. I said what I believe
to be true. Do you think he was as sharp
as you?
Speaker 12 (25:33):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Hold on, hold on? Was she sharing her truth?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Ramon?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
She was sharing her truth. Don't question her truth. That's
what they tell us, right. I believed I didn't kill him.
We have you on video right here killing him. You
shot him eight times, you went over, you put your
I'm just sharing my truth. You have your truth, but
I have my truth. I believe in my truth. You're
not a woman. You gotta wiener. Okay, you're born with
(26:02):
a wiener, you still have a wiener. But even if
you cut off your wianner, you're still a boy, just
a boy without a wiener, and your DNA didn't change,
and you're still a wiener.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But that's my truth. My truth is I'm a girl. No,
that's not truth. You can't have your own truth too.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
If I throw an apple up in the air and
your truth says there's no gravity, it won't fall, and
the truth, not just mine of science, says it will
fall due to gravity, what do you think happens when
the apple falls in hiss the ground? Well, I still
have my truth. Rewind that that was her truth. Her
(26:42):
truth was that Joe Biden was as sharp as ever. Okay,
well now we know because literally everybody around him is
saying he was demented and didn't know where he was
and he could barely stand up.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well that's not truth, but that's not an answer.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
You see, This is why you can't accomplish anything with
these people.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You don't get to have your own truth.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
How far was how fast was the car going before
it crashed into the guy? It never hit the brake,
and you watched it go by, it's gone.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
About three miles an hour. Because he's black and I'm black.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Okay, Well, nineteen other witnesses say it was going at
least one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's my truth.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Three miles an hour, it's my truth.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
I said what I believed to be true.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Do you think he was as sharp as you?
Speaker 13 (27:31):
I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't
at that point.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You did not see any decline. From twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden.
Speaker 13 (27:43):
Oh, when I said that he does the thing is heap? Look,
he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
him live event, I had meetings with him a couple
of time.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Or on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise. Fair enough, fair enough? Look,
it is the question is what are we going to
do now?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes, let's move forward, let's not look back.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That was my truth.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
It was also her truth that she was an American Indian,
and she lied and she advanced her career. She got
faculty law positions not easy to get based on being
a woman who was an American Indian. But then she
took a test and she was one oneenty twenty eighth
American Indian. Ho Chi Minh probably was more American Indian
(28:52):
than that. Attila the Hun was probably more American Indian
than that. Vladimir Putin is probably more American Indian than that.
And I'm not even joking. I'm not even joking, but
that was her truth. The death of truth. You know,
when I was a high school senior, I had a
(29:13):
beloved English teacher, and our little country school had some
teachers who cared deeply about us, and Miss Hardy June
Hardy was her name, and she cared deeply. Most of
us were going to go out and be cops, environment
and plant workers and roused abouts. But by God, we
(29:37):
were going to know how to think. We were going
to be willing to think the question to dare. In
my senior year of high school, she had us read
Brave New World nineteen eighty four in Fahrenheit four or
five to one. Fahrenheit four or five to one was
about the idea Ray Bradbury positive of people who didn't
(30:01):
want history to be repeated, knowledge to be shared, so
they burned all the books because when all knowledge is gone,
we can rebuild in its place our own set of knowledge,
and that will be our truth that will not be
contradicted by Cartesian philosophy, Cartesian understanding, or Euclid or Galileo
(30:29):
or anyone else. We'll be able to create our own
Boys will be girls, and girls will be boys and
brave new world. Alice Huxley was just a glorious look
at how science could be perverted in pursuit of horrible ideology,
And of course nineteen eighty four introducing us to terms
(30:52):
that are still still in our lexicon, like big Brother
does anything, say what big Brother does?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
In that little phrase.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
There are people who use that term and don't even
know where it comes from, much like biblical terms. They
don't have any understanding where that comes from. But if
you've read nineteen eighty four, the idea of the television
that's staring at you and you are under watch like
a panopticon at prison all day long, it's a powerful notion.
I read those before my eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And I commend them to you. People will often ask
me what to read.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
You don't need to read the latest and greatest by
some national talk show hosts with a ghostwriter. Go read
the classics of our way of thought. Read Atlas Shrug,
read The fountain Head, but start with nineteen eighty four.
That'll get your mind right. Then Fahrenheit four or five
to one. When Ray Bradbury died my son, my son Michael,
(31:53):
was about four or five years old. I took him
to a parking lot and set a book of Fahrenheit
four or five to one on.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I said, I want you to remember this rest of
your life.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
And he still to this day he says, that's one
of the creepiest things you ever did.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I said, But you remember it, don't you.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
And when I'm long gone, much older, and they're tearing
down knowledge and replacing it and telling you girls or
boys and boys or girls, you will say, this is
what my dad was talking about.
It's that time, time, Time, Time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
More deep.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens,
and because of the crisis which is even now developing,
this radio station will remain on the air.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Day and night.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
There are warnings that the US is dangerously close to
a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 7 (00:41):
I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 8 (00:44):
The media is convinced that the actions of President Trump,
like executive orders and Department of Government efficiency, have created
or will soon create a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 9 (00:55):
Those that have said that we may face a constitutional crime, I.
Speaker 10 (01:01):
Want you to know that the crisis is here.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
Constitutional crisis, grossly unconstitutional.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This is a genuine constitutional crisis.
Speaker 11 (01:11):
I think this is the most serious constitution crisis the
country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting
to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, you can crime.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
The river.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Might not vote to elect Elmo as a Bond villain
as our president of the United States. We have to
uphold the constitution.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's what we're here to do now.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
Republicans have attacked us time and time again because we
model the values.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Of diversity and inclusion.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
Well, that is what America is about.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Don't let us then.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Tell us we're not American.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
We are of the true Americans here. America is about us.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
We have to reclaim our country.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
USA, USA, USA.
Speaker 12 (01:58):
Well, this is all about taking over the government in
order to advance the interests of Elon Musk and the
billionaires at the expense of everybody else in America. It
(02:19):
was the big lie and the big betrayal.
Speaker 10 (02:23):
We have got to tell Elon Musk.
Speaker 12 (02:25):
Nobody elected your ass Nobody talk to you could get
all of our private information.
Speaker 13 (02:33):
Nobody told you you could be in.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Charge of the payments.
Speaker 13 (02:36):
Of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We have told you you've.
Speaker 12 (02:39):
Made enough money off our government yourself.
Speaker 13 (02:43):
Elon Musk is seizing power from the American people.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
You remember the line, don't fire till you see the
whites of their eyes. You've seen William Wallace and Brave Heart.
Wait until the right moment when you're into me. Is failing.
Don't stop him, even if his failing while failing is
(03:13):
offensive to you, let him continue to do what he's doing.
Get listeners. Very upset that the Democrats are going down
to El Salvador. I expect other people to be upset.
I don't expect you to be upset. I expect you
(03:33):
to be rejoicing. Leave it to the low information voter
to go, hey, listen, I ain't very political or not.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I I don't want to get into all that. No.
I know, y'all watch Fox New, listen to the radio
and Michael Berry and all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
But I just I don't want to get into a
big conversation about it. But for me, it don't make
no sense in people going down to El Salvador trying
to bring back gang bangers. We got enough gang bangers here.
Make no sense to me. Let the low information voter
see what's happening, root for them to do this. Don't
(04:10):
invest your own emotions. You're too smart for that. These
people are making the worst blunder imaginable. They are drafting
JaMarcus Russell with the first draft pick and tying up
all their cap money.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Don't stop them. You want them to do this so.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
During an appearance on CBS News, the vice chairman of
the Democrat National Committee, David Hogg said, democracy is what
put us through school shootings. This whole democracy, this is overrated.
That's how come we have school shootings is because of democracy.
Speaker 14 (04:46):
We go out there as democrats all the time and
say democracy is the most important thing. We have to
defend democracy. We fail to acknowledge that this generation democracy
is what put us through school shooter drills and school shootings.
It's what's put us through the climate crisis and so
on much more. What we have to do is prove
that democracy matters by standing up to the special interests
that are killing the American dream and making our young
(05:07):
people lose faith not only in the our party, but
the future of this country.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That is why we're doing He.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Also said, trying to amp up the intensity, which scares
most people. He told Jim Psaki on MSNBC, this is
a break the glass moment.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This is doesn't violate by laws.
Speaker 14 (05:26):
It is something that has and other vice chairs that
have been involved in primaries before.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yes, it's something that has angered traditional DNC members.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Some are you some of them?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Some of them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't want to overstate, but how do you think?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I mean, do you are you ready to put that
at risk?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I mean, if they said you can't do this, are
you going.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To still break the glass moment? I'm meaning if they.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Tell you can't do this, You're going to leave your
vice chair job.
Speaker 14 (05:48):
Ultimately, if they decide to remove me, I have no
control over that. I'm going to do everything in my
I got elected to this position to fight to win
back our young people and make sure that across the board,
with every single with every single demographic, pretty much except
the elderly and the highly educated, we lost margins this
past election cycle. This is a major crisis for our
party right now, and it needs to be met with
(06:10):
the ferocity it deserves so that we're able to win
back those young people, win back the margins.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Yes, yes, everyone says it's we're at a crossroads, it's
the end of the world, and young people think it's
the most important because they've not learned patients. He was
on ABC this week along with Donna Brazil, who ran
al Gore's campaign, and she warned this little contemptible work
that the people he wants to primary Democrats, that is,
(06:37):
are in seats that women and minorities are holding.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Uh ah, you young people, don't you.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
You can take it from the white moderate Democrats, but
not from women in minorities.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh oh, the sacred cows are clashing.
Speaker 15 (06:54):
Trust in all of our institutions, to media, business, whole
civil societ.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We're in a crisis.
Speaker 15 (07:02):
I don't know if we want to call it a
constitutional crisis, but we're in, as former President Biden was
het an inflection point. Look, I think what David is
trying to do is to not just help to re
energize the party, but to help rebrand the Democratic Party.
The concern that officers of the DNC right now they
(07:22):
have signed the neutrality pledge. David did not sign the
neutrality pledge, so he's in hot water with Ken. I
told him he threw a rock in the water and
the two of them and the officers they got to
get out of the hot water. But that's not my
position right now. My position is many of these so
called saint blue seats and I can get in trouble.
Many of them are seats that women and minorities finally
(07:44):
had an opportunity to come and sit in because there
were no seats at the table for us.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So before you.
Speaker 15 (07:49):
Start wiping clean the menu in the place and the seats,
be very careful because many of those seats are in
as where we were.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Party chairman griants. How would you handle a vice chair.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Who was going to well answer and then I'll explain it.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I mean, unfortunately, David, i'd have you ever removed from
the party.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
This is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Issues will bubble up to where they become part of
a pattern as they are highlighted. They may not be
happening more than they were before, at least not much
more than marginally so, but it's a hot topping and
it's being discussed. For instance, it was about twenty seventeen
(08:35):
Harvey Weinstein. Turns out Harvey Weinstein was doing some pretty
awful things and once the lid was blown, and to
be clear, he was doing things for several years before
the hammer came down on him. The first several women
(08:57):
who came out and spoke against him were not rewarded
or honored. In fact, they were slandered, it silenced. But
once it became the case that Harvey Weinstein was awful
and that a man in a position with wealth and
power could use that with women who were ambitious to
(09:27):
get sex and in some cases put them in a
situation or lure them in a situation.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It doesn't put them there.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
They choose to be in the hotel room with him alone,
at two o'clock in the morning. Okay, let's make good decisions.
And I don't think ambition alone is a reason to say, well,
I thought it was just going to be a chat
at midnight for me to come up to his room. No, No,
(09:55):
you've got to make better decisions. Well, he was important
and he was controlling the movie, and I wanted to
be in the movie. You've got to make decisions. You've
got to make better decisions. However, there is no doubt
that what he's doing is awful. It's monstrous, it's terrible,
(10:15):
and he was a monster in many ways. But once
that became the issue, then a lot of people started
coming forward and saying, hey, I've kind of been going
through this myself. Boom, there's a new me too allegation,
And so you had a lot of people. It wasn't
that it was happening more than usual. It was that
that was an item that news directors were looking for,
(10:38):
like a hashtag that was coming up in the algorithm. Well,
one of the things that's coming up in the algorithm
these days is white people speaking out very aggressively about
the fact about black on white crime. And there are
a number of people who are emboldened. And it's also
(11:00):
the case that a number of people are now starting
to point out how there are blacks that are out
there basically saying let's kill the white people, let's do this,
and the lies that come out. This is a healthy
market place of ideas. Now, the reason we haven't had
a healthy marketplace of ideas is that if you speak
out and state facts or even opinions, you were silenced
(11:26):
as a racist. Not because you're wrong, No, the rules
of discourse were redrafted to say there can be no disagreement.
This is like silencing people from Facebook or before Elon
owned it, Twitter. So I came across a video of
a zoom call with ten black people discussing the murder
(11:47):
of Austin Metcalf. Now, Austin Metcalf was murdered by Carmelo
Anthony at a track mee their school event, who plunged
a knife into Austin Metcalf's and they're talking about how
this is horrible that this young black man has murdered
this young white man and it's not fair to black people.
(12:09):
And it doesn't take long till the discussion turns to
how white boys kill blacks all the time and get
away with it, which is just not true. And one
woman used Kyle Writtenhouse as killing of three black people
as an example. The only problem is how written House
(12:31):
didn't kill three people and he didn't kill anyone black.
It was white liberals who were trying to kill him,
and he turned and defended himself. Blacks weren't even involved,
But that didn't stop that conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That interesting. Listen to this name a.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
White person that killed a black person that is not
or have not been held accountable in a last George Zimmerman.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
George Zimmerman wasn't even white.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Just say one thing. I don't want to answer your question,
you know who killed who or whatnot? Cal Rittenhouse was
seventeen years old white boy that murdered two, two or
three black kids in Michigan during a protest.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
He was acquitted on all charges.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Uh Jordan Penny, I think that's his name. He choked
out that black homeless man on a train in New York.
We recently was also acquitted of charges.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
So and I guess neither one of those, neither one
of those was killed to stop, you.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Know, but but he was playing out like why there
is there could be I know, I know you don't
think it's true, but there could be like a sense
of white power supremacy in this country because sometimes when
white people do certain crimes, they're not held to the
same extent as black people or other people doing so
you were asking him to give names. I gave you
(14:08):
two and one was actually the same age as the guy,
the black boy that just killed the white guy, and
he was acquitted of all his charges. He was also
a seventeen year old white boy and wiscond And it's like, well,
why why was he acquitted when he actually murdered someone.
You all are saying that, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Because they didn't murder anybody.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
They did, though, what do you mean, No, definitely murdered
two or three people.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Are you familiar with the story? No, I'm not. Okay,
So you.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Can't just make that statement then, because because.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Of the coor of law determined that they was acquitted
of the charges, and that means that he's not a murderer.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
No, that means that the system worked in his favor
based on who he was, because that wouldn't have.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Worked if you just automatically say somebody is when they
not when they got tried in the court of public
in the court of law.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
And the law and the law is always fair, right.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
Absolutely absolutely it is in this situation because if that
because if the evidence is showing that he's not guilty,
then why why would I say that he's not guilty.
It's until proving guilty in the court of law. Same
thing for Daniel Penny, I am for I am familiar
with Daniel Penny. I am familiar with what happened on
(15:27):
the subway over I think it was over in New York, right,
I am familiar with Daniel Penny. And in and in
the case of George Floyd, the police officer, the white
police officer who was a part of the Blue Gang,
the Blue Wall absolutely got held accountable and he got
(15:48):
convicted and he's in prison today. And I don't even
think that that was a race I don't even think
that that was a race issue.
Speaker 16 (15:55):
I believe that that was an issue of a cop
over exerting his power over somebody that should not have
been in that position in the first place.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But at the same time, it's Tracy Bird.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the TSAR talk.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My buddy Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I can't think of Steven Tyler without Why do people
do it? Why did somebody have to send me a
picture of Steve Tyler's naked feet. Once I got to
look at those gnarl toes, I can't think about anything
but that. And then, man, Aerosmith's songs are so good.
I mean, Aerosmith can put me in a mood like
it can get me feeling good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
All right.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
So Rob Smith, blackfellow with Turning Point USA, posted a
video apologizing to the white parents of Austin metcalf On
behalf of the black community.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Now, I want to be very clear here.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
If a white person shoots, stabs, hangs, murders, kicks runs
over a black person, I do not feel the need
to apologize, to condemn or anything else, just as I
don't feel the need of a white person does it
to a white person. I don't feel there's any need
(17:19):
for a black fellow the need to apologize to these parents.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But he did.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
And I think this gets to this a much deeper
issue than we have time for it today. There is
a constantly reinforced sense of tribe amongst blacks in America,
and it comes from a very dark place, a very
cynical place, a very nefarious place. It comes from a
place of trying to control and corral black people. That's
(17:49):
why you will constantly hear reference to the black community,
but never the white community, because whites won't allow ourselves
to be part of a greater hole. Some community is
the black community located geographically in these zip codes when useful,
(18:11):
And what they'll do when they do that is they'll
go into the Section eight neighborhoods, the poorest black neighborhoods,
and they'll say ninety nine percent of the black community
it supports Barack Obama. Well what about the blacks who
don't live in those zip codes and they live in
a neighborhood that's primarily white where the homes cost two
million in up. You don't go in and ask that
guy who he's voting for or what his views are
(18:34):
on welfare or criminal justice reform? Is that instertring isn't
that interesting? Well, here is Rob Smith and his apology
to the parents of Austin Metcalf. And I've really thought
long and hard about this, really thought long and hard
about this, because there's a certain bravery to a black
man saying, Hey, I just want you to understand. Not
(18:55):
every black person thinks it's okay that your son was murdered.
And I'm embarrassed by the blacks needing to do this,
But I think it speaks to the tribal nature of
how blacks identify and are described in this country, and
I think that's very unhealthy. I happen to have two
black children, and I've made very clear to them from
(19:17):
the beginning. Nobody will tell you how you are to
think because you are black, because people do that. Oh,
you ain't black, you don't feel remember Joe Biden, you
don't vote for me, you ain't black.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
See, these are all.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
The very very deep psychological weapons used against black blacks. Oh,
if you're black, you don't feel that way. Well, I
don't feel that way whether.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
You ain't black.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Who are you to question my blackness or his blackness
or her blackness or whatever else? But that's done every day,
isn't it. And Rob Smith felt that he felt appall
upon him. I need people to understand how I feel
about this.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Here's what he said on behalf of the black community.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
I would like to apologize to the parents Boston Metcalf
for making a hero out of the young man that
killed your son. I apologize that there are so few
fathers around, and so few male figures around to teach
the Black community about emotional discipline, about what's right from wrong,
about emotional regulation, about not making a hero out of
(20:23):
a thug and a criminal. I apologize on behalf of
the black community because they are the ones that are
raising money for your son's killer. They are the ones
that are funding this new lavish lifestyle that your son's
killer is living. I apologize on behalf of the Black
community because they are so confused about again what's right
(20:47):
and what's wrong, that in some weird twisted sense of
racial solidarity, they would celebrate the young man that killed your.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Child in cold blood of it.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I apologize on behalf of the Black community because you
don't deserve to see this. You deserve to be grieving
your child. You deserve to be remembering your child. You
deserve to be able to share stories about what an
amazing human being in young man he was. But instead
(21:24):
you're subject to online mobs that support the killer.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Of your child.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
You are subject to people that are raising money.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
To support the killer of your child.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
You are subjected to people in the black community that
are making excuses for the killer of your child and
making your child seem that he is somehow at fault.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
For being stabbed to death.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
So for what you are seeing on social media, for
what you will continue to say see for the next
few months, I apologize to you on behalf of the
Black community, because a lot of us are so bereft
of empathy.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
A lot of us.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Are so angry, in hurt and bitter and damaged, in
trapped in cycles of pathology that we would make excuses
for a young man that stabbed another young man to
debt and we are so trapped in that pathology that
we don't even know which way is up. I apologize
(22:37):
on behalf of the black community for their treatment towards
your son's killer. And I can only hope that your
child can rest in peace and that you can remember
him as he was.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
So let me be very clear.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
We have a lot of black listeners and I notice
I mean, will send me an email say I just
what you know. I don't feel that way. You don't
have to do that. I don't put you in a tribe.
I don't assume what jersey you wear and you shouldn't
let anybody else When people like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson,
(23:18):
or Barack Obama or anyone else claim to speak on
behalf of blacks.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They are not empowering you. They're doing the opposite.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
They are stealing your agency. They are claiming a mantle,
a platform that they have not earned. It is unjust.
But don't think that I ever believe you are an individual.
I assume every individual thinks for themselves.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Where I can't believe he just said that happens to
Michael very show.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
One of the things I'm enjoying a great deal is
watching all Democrats who campaigned for Biden and then Kamala
Harris now claim that Biden, who they told us at
the time, was man, this guy was top of the line.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Poor old morning Joe. I mean, it's just sad. It's pitiful.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
After telling us, you know, Mika, his mistress, Mikah's family
has known Joe since seventy two, and Joe's sharper than
he's ever been, and now it's coming out that they
all knew the poor fellow. Ron Klain, who basically was
running the auto pen, who was running the country now
says that he would come outside and.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Fall down and you know they'd had to go wake
him up. It was just pitiful.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Well, Elizabeth Warren was confronted during a podcast as she
stammered and struggled to explain why she's so obviously lied
by claiming that he was He was, you know, Biden
was as sharp as ever. The host of the podcast.
(25:04):
The podcast is called Talk Easy. The host's name, I
hope I'm pronouncing this correctly is Sam Fragoso, and he
does a very very good job of keeping this interview
on point and forcing her to answer the question, do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last year. I said what I believe
to be true. Do you think he was as sharp
as you?
Speaker 12 (25:33):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Hold on, hold on? Was she sharing her truth?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Ramon?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
She was sharing her truth. Don't question her truth. That's
what they tell us, right. I believed I didn't kill him.
We have you on video right here killing him. You
shot him eight times, you went over, you put your
I'm just sharing my truth. You have your truth, but
I have my truth. I believe in my truth. You're
not a woman. You gotta wiener. Okay, you're born with
(26:02):
a wiener, you still have a wiener. But even if
you cut off your wianner, you're still a boy, just
a boy without a wiener, and your DNA didn't change,
and you're still a wiener.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But that's my truth. My truth is I'm a girl. No,
that's not truth. You can't have your own truth too.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
If I throw an apple up in the air and
your truth says there's no gravity, it won't fall, and
the truth, not just mine of science, says it will
fall due to gravity, what do you think happens when
the apple falls in hiss the ground? Well, I still
have my truth. Rewind that that was her truth. Her
(26:42):
truth was that Joe Biden was as sharp as ever. Okay,
well now we know because literally everybody around him is
saying he was demented and didn't know where he was
and he could barely stand up.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well that's not truth, but that's not an answer.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
You see, This is why you can't accomplish anything with
these people.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You don't get to have your own truth.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
How far was how fast was the car going before
it crashed into the guy? It never hit the brake,
and you watched it go by, it's gone.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
About three miles an hour. Because he's black and I'm black.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Okay, Well, nineteen other witnesses say it was going at
least one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
That's my truth.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Three miles an hour, it's my truth.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
I said what I believed to be true.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Do you think he was as sharp as you?
Speaker 13 (27:31):
I said I had not seen decline, and I hadn't
at that point.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You did not see any decline. From twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden.
Speaker 13 (27:43):
Oh, when I said that he does the thing is heap? Look,
he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
him live event, I had meetings with him a couple
of time.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Or on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise. Fair enough, fair enough? Look,
it is the question is what are we going to
do now?
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes, let's move forward, let's not look back.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That was my truth.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
It was also her truth that she was an American Indian,
and she lied and she advanced her career. She got
faculty law positions not easy to get based on being
a woman who was an American Indian. But then she
took a test and she was one oneenty twenty eighth
American Indian. Ho Chi Minh probably was more American Indian
(28:52):
than that. Attila the Hun was probably more American Indian
than that. Vladimir Putin is probably more American Indian than that.
And I'm not even joking. I'm not even joking, but
that was her truth. The death of truth. You know,
when I was a high school senior, I had a
(29:13):
beloved English teacher, and our little country school had some
teachers who cared deeply about us, and Miss Hardy June
Hardy was her name, and she cared deeply. Most of
us were going to go out and be cops, environment
and plant workers and roused abouts. But by God, we
(29:37):
were going to know how to think. We were going
to be willing to think the question to dare. In
my senior year of high school, she had us read
Brave New World nineteen eighty four in Fahrenheit four or
five to one. Fahrenheit four or five to one was
about the idea Ray Bradbury positive of people who didn't
(30:01):
want history to be repeated, knowledge to be shared, so
they burned all the books because when all knowledge is gone,
we can rebuild in its place our own set of knowledge,
and that will be our truth that will not be
contradicted by Cartesian philosophy, Cartesian understanding, or Euclid or Galileo
(30:29):
or anyone else. We'll be able to create our own
Boys will be girls, and girls will be boys and
brave new world. Alice Huxley was just a glorious look
at how science could be perverted in pursuit of horrible ideology,
And of course nineteen eighty four introducing us to terms
(30:52):
that are still still in our lexicon, like big Brother
does anything, say what big Brother does?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
In that little phrase.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
There are people who use that term and don't even
know where it comes from, much like biblical terms. They
don't have any understanding where that comes from. But if
you've read nineteen eighty four, the idea of the television
that's staring at you and you are under watch like
a panopticon at prison all day long, it's a powerful notion.
I read those before my eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
And I commend them to you. People will often ask
me what to read.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
You don't need to read the latest and greatest by
some national talk show hosts with a ghostwriter. Go read
the classics of our way of thought. Read Atlas Shrug,
read The fountain Head, but start with nineteen eighty four.
That'll get your mind right. Then Fahrenheit four or five
to one. When Ray Bradbury died my son, my son Michael,
(31:53):
was about four or five years old. I took him
to a parking lot and set a book of Fahrenheit
four or five to one on.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I said, I want you to remember this rest of
your life.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
And he still to this day he says, that's one
of the creepiest things you ever did.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I said, But you remember it, don't you.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
And when I'm long gone, much older, and they're tearing
down knowledge and replacing it and telling you girls or
boys and boys or girls, you will say, this is
what my dad was talking about.
