Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air for American citizens.
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We have last year were ad last, Thank god the
matter were.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
all over the world. We will be the envy of
every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be
taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of
(01:07):
the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored,
the scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent,
and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government
(01:31):
will end, and our top priority will be to create
(01:52):
a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will
soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Our returned to the presidency confident.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And optimistic that we are at the start of a
thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change
is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring over the entire world,
and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like
never before. From this moment on, America's decline is over,
(02:31):
and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty
of America's government. Over the past eight years, I have
been tested and challenged more than any president in our
two hundred and fifty year history, and I've.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Through my ear.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But I felt then.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And believe even more so now, that my life was.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Saved for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, today is today the first one hundred days of
President Trump's second presidency, and a victory lap is in order,
which is what he will do tonight in Michigan in
the setting where he is the best of the modern era.
(03:52):
The rally, I say the modern era because presidents today
are all I have to get age by. And the
rally was a very popular form of campaigning, particularly before
the mass media. It's kind of quaint that the president
(04:12):
still does rallies. But let's be very clear. He doesn't
do the rallies for the people. He does the rallies
for him. He feeds off that energy. It makes him
a better president. I will just be honest with you.
I don't want to sound like an old woman, but
(04:34):
I worry.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I do.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I'm sorry. I know that's not the tough guy persona
you want me to play. I worry about him being exposed.
Do you remember what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania in June
of last year?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Because I do. He's irreplaceable.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He is now there will be someone who will succeed him,
but he's irreplaceable there. They're not of his level. And
I worry about it. But you know, I'll tell you this.
I also understand that he's a unique creature and that
(05:19):
tonight will feed him. It will nourish him being out
there and knowing what he means to those people. That
makes him feel good. That makes him a better president.
And of course the people there will love it. But realistically,
(05:43):
that's point oh oh one percent of the people in
the country.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You can't touch enough people as president at rallies to
make a significant difference in the population.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
That'll be it'll be shared.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
But this is a beautiful, wonderful thing, and things are
going well in America. Things are going very well in America,
and we need to tell people that that's how you
change the polls. Here's Steven Miller talking to Sean Hannity
(06:23):
about what to expect in Trump's first hundred days.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me paint a picture for you, Sean of those
first twe hundred days. Rapid, total, complete deregulation of American
energy exploration.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You're going to see an American.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Energy booms starting right away.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You're going to see all the regulations that are strangling
job growth in this country and driving up prices, driving
up housing costs go away. You're going to see the
border sealed shot, the criminal aliens are going to be
shipped home, and foreign countries around the world are going
to accept the gang members and the cartel members that
are poisoning our families and murdering American children.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
You're going to see pa po begin to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Restore to the world as the President works to bring
back harmony in the Middle East, harmony in Europe. You're
going to see him work with Congress to pass another
round of historic tax relief, and you're going to see
a government that is accountable to the people again. The
swamp will be drained on day one. Incompetent and disloyal
people that are hurting this nation are going to be
(07:23):
replaced with those who care only for the American people,
the American worker, and the American future.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
It will be a new Golden.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Age, Sean.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
All right, let's get some reactions from everyday Americans like
you and me. News Max caught up with a Kentucky
resident and asked her how she felt about President Trump's
first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You're gonna like this.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
What do you think of the first one hundred days?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Said Trump?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Blown away. Amazing, amazing. He couldn't have done any better
for seventy eight years old. He's phenomenal. I'd like to
see anybody who can stay up as late as he
does at night and read up the next morning and
still function all day, because I don't think I could.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
What have you liked the most in terms of what
he's done? Oh my gosh, the immigration policies. You know,
if you hear it legally, you need to do home.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I'm not sure what your question was with the Michael.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Berris, I lost the plot somewhere, did you did the
reminder that today is the end of the one hundred days.
This is one hundredth day of President Trump's second term,
and we just finished at the end of the last
segment we heard from a lady in Kentucky. Now, let's
(08:45):
see what other people. Let's see what the real people,
not the media who hate him. Let's see what the
real people of America are saying about how they think
the president is doing so far. And if you want
to share your views on how the president is doing
with me, you can go to our website. Michael Berry
showed up where you can sign up for our daily
e blast, which in you clips of stories and articles
that I'm reading and things like that. You can buy
(09:09):
our merch and you can you send me an email
there and they all come to me. I literally read
them all. People don't believe it, but I do read
them all. Fellow who posts under the name Tony times
two on Twitter says President Trump has had the best
first one hundred days of any president ever.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
I agree Donald Trump's first hundred days an officer coming up.
And now the liberal news stations have already started that
Smith campaign saying Donald Trump that the lords of Pool rating. Ever,
this is the lords of Pool rating for a president
and the second term straight. Nun see, they got to
make up stuff about Trump because he got here.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It got straight to business. We had an issue with.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
The southern border for the longest Callmala Harris, Joe Biden.
They gas led us for four years straight and said
that we were having no issues at the southern border,
That it wasn't a record number llegal immivers invade the
our nation, That it wasn't illegal immigrants unlive and innocent
American citizens, That it wasn't illegal immigrants harassing our legal
immigrant communities. Y'all said that wasn't happening donald Trump getting
(10:12):
office and addressed that immediately. Not because of Trump and
Tom Homan. It's a record low of illegal border crosses
at the southern border. Some of these immigration shelters in
these sanctuary cities they have to close down because of
a lack of applicans. That's because of Donald J.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Trump. That's what we call a Trump effect. What else
the tariffs.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
It's not our fault that y'all don't understand the tariffs.
Y'all walking around here complaining, Oh, Donald Trump's about to
ruin the world with these tariffs. It's not our fault
that you don't understand Trump's agenda. It's not our fault
that you don't understand that. Barack Obama implemented tariffs on
China and.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It didn't work. It didn't get us a better trade deal.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Joe Biden got an office, tried the same thing, still
didn't work. But then when Trump getting office, a plot
blanket tariffs. All of a sudden time they want to
try to come to the table. Now you're seeing them
starting to remove stuff from their tariffs. This is what
you call getting a fair deal. This is all because
of Donald Trump. He shook it up, he took it
to the next level. Obama couldn't get it done, Biden
(11:10):
couldn't get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But guess who is getting it done. That'd be Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
So, like I said, it ain't my fault that y'all
don't understand tariffs.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Y'all want to keep telling me these lines like gas
went up.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
That's a bold faced line gas is not going up.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'm paying three dollars and sixty cent for.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Ninety three gas, So y'all can tell that a lot
of somebody else. I'm not trying to hear it. Then
y'all told us, or what about the jobs? Who's gonna
pick the fruit, who's gonna cut the grass? And all
this other nonsense. Well, how about this. According to the
BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics, one hundred and fifty one
thousand jobs came back to the United States in February
of two hundred and twenty eight thousand jobs came back
(11:48):
to the United States in marsh that's three hundred and
seventy nine thousand jobs. And y'all got the nerd to
complaining about what Donald Trump is doing. Said, well, he
wasn't creating any jobs, straight up nonsense. What about these
HBC used, y'all said, Trump is a YT supremacist. Well,
how about he signed the executive order calling out the
states saying the states have not been holding up their
(12:10):
responsibility when it comes to funding these HBC used.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He already got permanent funded for the HBC used, And
this is what a YT supremacy did.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
He's calling out the states that they need to do
a better job with these HBC used, and he's created
different departments within the White House to address this. Y'a
should go read that executive order. A lot of HBC
used than Trump for that. What about the executive order
he signed about school safety?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
He bought a woman up from Charlotte.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
She was attacked in the school, and now they bring
a back paddling in some.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Of these schools. This is what Donald Trump has done.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
What about the fact that Trump has brought factories back
to the United States? Talk about kill, talk about apple.
These are things that Donald Trump is doing. What about
the deals he has secured one point four trillion dollars
from the UAE, invested the toile AI infrastructure. I'm just
confus on what they mean to approve of rating this vote.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It took me.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
It just sounds like Donald Trump is getting the job
done and they hate the fact that the other side
is getting the job done.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So what is the real issue? All that comes down
to is this, you all hating the.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
United States because Donald Trump won, and you hate Trump
because he took out both your competitors, Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden. I don't care what anybody say. Donald Trump
is addressing the things that the American citizens have been
worried about, and he did that in a hundred days.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm glad I vought it for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Fox News asked some of our fellow Americans what they
thought of President Trump's first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
First of all, he's done more in the first one
hundred days than I've done in my thirty eight year career.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
So he's great to watch.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
But I really love the cabinet meetings. He lets the
American people into those rooms. We get to observe the
questions and the answers know what they're doing. It's really
a way that he connects with the public, and I
think that's so important. Negotiating is his skills are unbelievable.
You remember when he was negotiating for the Boeing jet
and he talked about how he wanted it under I
(14:08):
think it was three hundred thousand dollars or something. He
got it to two ninety nine, nine ninety nine because planes, Yeah, exactly.
I'd like inflation to come down a little more, but
I'm patient. I think we need to be patient because
he's going to get it done. He's got the stomach
for it, and we just got to be behind him
one hundred percent. So just keep doing what you're doing,
President Trump.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
We love it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Safety mas Lov's hierarchy of needs. Our first need is
safety and security.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
So the first hundred day is what grade would you
give Donald Trump?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And why on.
Speaker 12 (14:43):
A scale of one to ten twenty Why? I just
I feel safer, I feel more confident. I know who's
running the country, and we hadn't for the last four years.
I think the economy is going to come around.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
I love the people that he's picked for the cabinet.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
I think everybody is just doing a top notch job,
and I love those.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I study a peacock, a feral peacock that landed in
our yard.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's not our peacock. They don't belong to you. They
just cavort around.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But I study him and I notice he takes a
pack of a worm, and then he lives around, takes
a pack of a worm, looks around. Because birds are prey,
they're not predator. I mean, I guess they're a predator
to the worm. But the first thing they have to
(15:39):
worry about, more than food, more than continuing the species,
is safety. It's the number one responsibility of government to
provide for the safety of our people from foreign enemies
and domestic should also ensure liberty. I guess arguably insuring
(16:02):
liberty is first. We'll have to take some responsibility for
our own safety. Yeah, I would say that, but safety
is important. I got carried away on that. I would
say insuring liberty is probably most important. But this one
wouldn't feel safer because Donald Trump is president. Do you
think anybody ever felt safer because of Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Or for that matter, Barack Obama, or for that matter,
George W.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Bush.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He dragged us into wars, he didn't get us out
of them. This president deserves a Nobel peach.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
January twenty, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Michael Barry show, shut a mighty.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Let's look at Joe Biden and how his presidency started
started the same way it ended with an invasion on
our southern border. This is an illegal alien in one
of the many caravans Joe Biden let into our country,
welcomed them here, incentivized them to come here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
What I want for my people that I just want
and pest that we can get to the us because
they're having a new president versus Biden.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
He's going to help all of us.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
He's given us one hundred days to get to the
US and give us legal men to pay for so
we can get a better life for our kids and family.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Listen to what Joe Biden's goal was for his first
one hundred days masks.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Masks.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
That's because masks represent the subjugation of the people to
the authoritarian figure.
Speaker 13 (17:29):
And I think my inclination, Jake is in the first
day I'm inaugurated, to say I'm going to ask the
public for one hundred days to mask, just one hundred
days to mask, not forever. One hundred days, and I
think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that
that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the
(17:51):
numbers considerably.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You know, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris. That's
not the only bullet that was dodged last year.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
To the nation's benefit, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris.
Gun control was her top priority when she ran for
her party's nomination in twenty twenty. That was the big issue.
No matter what she said, dr in the campaign, she
was still a progressive loan.
Speaker 14 (18:15):
I'm proposing one that if by my one hundredth day
in office, when elected President of the United States, the
United States Congress fails to put a bill on my
desk to sign with all of the good ideas, or
any of the good ideas, then I am prepared to
take executive action because that's what's.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Needed, executive options to do.
Speaker 14 (18:36):
Specifically, for anyone who sells more than five guns a year,
they will be required to perform background checks on the
people they sell them to.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
And this will be the most.
Speaker 14 (18:46):
Comprehensive background check policy that has ever been had in
our country thus far.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Can that be executive order?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yes, yes it can. I am also prepared.
Speaker 14 (18:56):
To say and to direct the ATF to remove and
take away the licenses of gun dealers who fail to
follow the law. And Jake, ninety percent of the guns
that are associated with crime have been sold by five
percent of the gun dealers. We need to take their
licenses away.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Batya Ungar Sargon is the deputy editing editor of Sorry,
the deputy opinion editor for Newsweek. She was on CNN
to talk about Trump's first hundred days. She says, this
is this is no, this is no nothing to sneeze at.
She said, the very thing that he's being criticized for
(19:39):
is the theme that actually worked.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
This is a very very astute point.
Speaker 15 (19:46):
Is that the very thing that he's being criticized for
is the thing that worked. If he had come in
and very nicely and politely gone to each of these
countries worked.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm trying going if.
Speaker 15 (19:57):
You're very nicely and calmly and politely gone to each
of these countries and said, look, you've been screwing us over.
You've been screwing over the American working class for forty years,
and we're not going to take it anymore. Let's sit
down and have like a nice conversation. Why won't you
How about you you bring down those tariffs. Let's meet
halfway somewhere, because you would have said, no way.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I'll tell you what works.
Speaker 15 (20:16):
He picked up a baseball bet, he whacked the stock market,
and now they're all sitting there in a.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
State of relief that it's only.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
And they're all to the way.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
I'm conf that's how you.
Speaker 16 (20:27):
Really, Legitimately, I'm legitimately confused. So Trump destroying twenty percent
of wealth in the country, They all as losses have uncovered.
Who wins done? Hold on, Kevin, don't don't what? Who benefits?
Who benefits when the stock market drops and people lose
(20:52):
value in both their their in both their investments now
to get a deal.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
So yeah, it's been for weeks and we don't have
a deal yet. They're working, they're very close to announcing them.
India and Vietnam both announced tariffs on China. You think
they would have done that if Trump hadn't shown that
he was serious about standing up for the American working
class and that he doesn't work for wal What.
Speaker 16 (21:15):
How have the American people benefited? Is the question that
I'm asking in this.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Period, really, in this period in factory.
Speaker 16 (21:23):
Those are commitments that have not materialized in.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
A We're heavy on the audio today and heavy on
the audio this week, and that's because there are a
lot of things that I'm trying to work in. I
know some of you like me to talk longer form,
and we'll do that typically that is what we do.
But I have been consuming more media than usual because
(21:50):
I'm curious to see how the narrative is being shaped,
and I like to kind of present that to you
and weave that through the narrative i'm presenting. So if
you're wondering why we're playing more audio than usual, it's
because I am prepping by consuming more media than usual.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Usually when I'm off air, I'd.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Like to spend some time watching movies and documentaries and
reading books, But of late, I've really been studying what
they're doing to try to slow Trump down, and I'm
trying to share that with you. So just so you know,
maybe I over explained the show, but some people like
to know why I'm doing what I'm doing, especially when
it's different than I normally do. Ashley Parker of the
Atlantic was on MSNBC with Jen Pisaki to talk about
(22:34):
her sit down interview with President Trump. Pasaki wanted Ashley
Parker of the Atlantic to disparage Donald Trump, as they
all do you know, we've got to keep this narrative going.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
She said no. She said he's cursaively.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Bad right now.
Speaker 17 (22:50):
I mean they have moved downward, even on issues that
he ran on, like cost of living, immigration, and he
wants to project strength and joy or something don't even know, enjoy,
just strength. This is an age old tactic in white houses,
right We're going to tell everybody everything's great.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
That's what he kind of said in the interview.
Speaker 17 (23:08):
He seemed to try to be attempting to project that.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
They're doing other interviews.
Speaker 17 (23:12):
Why do you is that really his mental space or
is this sort of a tactic from the White House
to just try to project that.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
So a couple of things.
Speaker 18 (23:19):
One thing about I think he is trying to project strength.
I think one reason he specifically brought us in at
The Atlantic and included for the second interview Jeff Goldberg,
the editor in chief, it was a little bit of
game respects game. He had said in a second Truth
social post that Signal Gate was somewhat successful. So Jeff
asked him, what did you mean by that? Did you
mean that we revealed, you know, operational security flaws that
(23:42):
the administration has now fixed. And President Trump basically said, no, No,
you were successful essentially because you got publicity for your
story and you really owned that news cycle. And again
that's another window in to the president.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
And also when we were.
Speaker 18 (23:56):
There, he was in People who know him know this.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
He has the capacity.
Speaker 18 (23:59):
He was charming, he was charismatic, and his goal in
that moment was to win us in most specifically Jeff Over.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So that was the Michael Barry Show, the place where
Wolke goes to gud.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Let's talk about the other bullet. We dodged Joe Biden
and his decline. We played this the other day, but
I want to play this again because this is important.
This is Alex Thompson of Axios lecturing the media at
the White House Correspondence dinner for covering up Biden's lack
of mental acuity, and this needs to be done. We
(24:36):
have to call these people out and not let them
get away with what they did.
Speaker 19 (24:41):
The White House Corresponds Association is as necessary as ever.
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being true tellers
(25:02):
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
missed a lot of this story, and some people trust
us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for
faith in the media being at such lows. I say
(25:27):
this because acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about
them further erodes him.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We should have done better.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt was asked about those
comments that Alex Thompson made about Joe Biden's mental decline.
And I got to tell you, you know, everybody in this
administration has stepped up. Everybody has really really stepped up.
I didn't know how, I know how she was going
to do, but she has really risen to the occasion.
Speaker 20 (25:57):
Is this is good stuff, Alex Thompson said at the
White House Correspondent Center, And I'm going to read his quote.
President Biden's decline and it's cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of the party, is capable of discession. We myself included,
miss a lot of this story and.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Some people trust us less because of it.
Speaker 20 (26:15):
Can you comment on those remarks and whether you agree
with that assessment.
Speaker 21 (26:19):
I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who,
I understand want an award for writing a story months
and perhaps years after the American people already knew that
story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally
and competent president struggle with his day to day duties
of this office. We watched our country be ran into
the ground as a result, and nobody in the media
(26:41):
wanted to write about that.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Talk about it.
Speaker 21 (26:43):
There were many many reporters, I will say write leaning
reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards,
didn't get coverage. In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage.
And I remember being on President Trump's campaign talking about
Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused by people
in this room of manufacturing deep fake videos, trying to
(27:06):
persuade the public into not believing what they saw with
their own eyes for many years, and I think it's
about time the legacy media finally admits that was one
of the greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took
place in American history. And certainly it did contribute to
the decline and the trust that Americans have for the
legacy media here, which, by the way, is why we've
(27:26):
made many changes to this briefing room in this White House.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It's long overdue.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's smarmy little f Chuck Todd.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Every time I see Chuck Todd's name gives me a
fond memory thinking of Rush saying it and how much
fun he had just ridiculing the pretentiousness of Chuck Todd. Anyway,
he and Ashley Allison were discussing the media's role in
the cover up, and Chuck Todd doesn't take any responsibility.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
He blames the Democrats. Well, I guess it's better blaming
the Republicans.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
You know, if Coca Cola had a bunch of people
no longer drinking Coca cola, you want to actually go
interview people who used to drink Coca cola and ask
them how come you're not drinking Coca Cola anymore.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I don't get the sense of that at all.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
There's there's there's still this idea oh no, no, no, no, if
we just sell it better, if we just do it better.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And then on the last comment, it's just kind of interesting.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
I do think what happened to the Democratic Party is
they kept comparing Biden to Trump rather than Biden to what.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
A president should be able to do.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
And I think it was like, well, Trump's kind of
out there and he's so, it's so it's good enough
to go against Trump. Well no, like that doesn't shouldn't
have been the But I do think whatever that explanation is,
I think it all had to do with them judging
Biden through the prism of well Trump's sort of out there,
so it's good enough for that.
Speaker 22 (28:43):
Ash Alison, what do you think. Look in twenty twenty
two after the mid terms, I said, if you want
to run for president and be the Democratic nominee, anybody
who wants to run should be able to run. Unfortunately
nobody will.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
A couple of people, but Dean Phillips, right, Dean.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Phillips stepped up.
Speaker 22 (29:00):
Democrats, we should have had a primary for this midterm election,
and we didn't, and so now we're living with the
consequences of it. I hope that our party wakes up
and realizes it, and that me saying that doesn't mean
that I don't respect Joe Biden, but there's a reality,
and that we should have given our voters an opportunity
to make a decision for themselves, and by the time
(29:22):
we had to make a decision, it.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
Was too late.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
There was no actual set of voters.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Who felt like they had to say in this hold
up ro mahone, hold up a minute, play that last
ten seconds or so again.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I want to make sure everybody hears this.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites Pictor Biden, and the
elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set of
voters who felt like they had to say in this.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You know, it's so fun to watch these guys.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They've all lost their jobs and now they're doing podcasts
at home like it's the middle of COVID and it's
so sad and pitiful and they're all trying to change reality.
Chuck Todd was on a podcast with former CNN reporter
Chris Solissa where he blamed right wing virtue signalers.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
How come y'all are out there, and I'm one of them,
by the way, how come.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Y'all are out there saying that we were covering up
for Joe Biden's middle decline, covering up for your own
middle decline. There were one of these dudes in therapy.
They're all nuts, they all have mental health problem. Do
you ever notice that everybody on the left is nuts,
and you know how you know they're nuts because they
talk about going to their therapist all the time.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
This is not a media failure. This is a failure
of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the
virtue signaling that some people have done to try to
say that the media missed this story.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
They didn't miss this story. David Ignatius wrote.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it's
a right wing, manufactured, right wing premise in order to
stay in the media.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
The media has got plenty of things to attack them for.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
And there are MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely
carried water for Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
But they're not journalists.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
They're former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden. The
journalist David Ignatius wrote a very high profile column in
October of twenty three saying, is he really running again?
Speaker 6 (31:22):
This doesn't seem like a good idea.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
People like me were promoting Dean Phillips's campaign because he.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Was running.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
Set So you know, it's not like this. This isn't WMDs,
where the White House worked with the mainstream media to
manufacture a story that did not exist. That was a
press failure, massive press failure. This was not that failure.
This is an attempt by some to virtue signal. And
(31:53):
it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against
each other, when ultimately the people at fall are Chuck Schumer,
Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, every elected
member of Congress.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
So Elizie says that journalists weren't covering up for Biden,
but rather their bias had them trusting the Biden White House.
Why would you have a bias in favor of the Democrats.
Speaker 23 (32:21):
Oh, we weren't covering up. We were just biased because
we trusted them. It's their fault because we trusted them.
They should not have abused our trust. We just trusted them.
That's our fault.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah. Do you hear yourself?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Why didn't you ask more questions?
Speaker 24 (32:38):
And I will This is I'm not speaking for all
of the media, because all the media is a fast thing.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
But here's what I would say.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Any study that you.
Speaker 24 (32:44):
Ever see about who reporters vote for, they vote for
Democrats much more than Republicans. And I think what was
going on here is I think it was an inherent
and sort of unconscious bias more than a conscious bias.
But I think the reporters covering this White House were
two willing to take the Biden teams work for you.
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air for American citizens.
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We have last year were ad last, Thank god the
matter were.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
all over the world. We will be the envy of
every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be
taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of
(01:07):
the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored,
the scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent,
and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government
(01:31):
will end, and our top priority will be to create
(01:52):
a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will
soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Our returned to the presidency confident.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And optimistic that we are at the start of a
thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change
is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring over the entire world,
and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like
never before. From this moment on, America's decline is over,
(02:31):
and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty
of America's government. Over the past eight years, I have
been tested and challenged more than any president in our
two hundred and fifty year history, and I've.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Through my ear.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But I felt then.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And believe even more so now, that my life was.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Saved for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, today is today the first one hundred days of
President Trump's second presidency, and a victory lap is in order,
which is what he will do tonight in Michigan in
the setting where he is the best of the modern era.
(03:52):
The rally, I say the modern era because presidents today
are all I have to get age by. And the
rally was a very popular form of campaigning, particularly before
the mass media. It's kind of quaint that the president
(04:12):
still does rallies. But let's be very clear. He doesn't
do the rallies for the people. He does the rallies
for him. He feeds off that energy. It makes him
a better president. I will just be honest with you.
I don't want to sound like an old woman, but
(04:34):
I worry.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
I do.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I'm sorry. I know that's not the tough guy persona
you want me to play. I worry about him being exposed.
Do you remember what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania in June
of last year?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Because I do. He's irreplaceable.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He is now there will be someone who will succeed him,
but he's irreplaceable there. They're not of his level. And
I worry about it. But you know, I'll tell you this.
I also understand that he's a unique creature and that
(05:19):
tonight will feed him. It will nourish him being out
there and knowing what he means to those people. That
makes him feel good. That makes him a better president.
And of course the people there will love it. But realistically,
(05:43):
that's point oh oh one percent of the people in
the country.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You can't touch enough people as president at rallies to
make a significant difference in the population.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
That'll be it'll be shared.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
But this is a beautiful, wonderful thing, and things are
going well in America. Things are going very well in America,
and we need to tell people that that's how you
change the polls. Here's Steven Miller talking to Sean Hannity
(06:23):
about what to expect in Trump's first hundred days.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me paint a picture for you, Sean of those
first twe hundred days. Rapid, total, complete deregulation of American
energy exploration.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You're going to see an American.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Energy booms starting right away.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You're going to see all the regulations that are strangling
job growth in this country and driving up prices, driving
up housing costs go away. You're going to see the
border sealed shot, the criminal aliens are going to be
shipped home, and foreign countries around the world are going
to accept the gang members and the cartel members that
are poisoning our families and murdering American children.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
You're going to see pa po begin to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Restore to the world as the President works to bring
back harmony in the Middle East, harmony in Europe. You're
going to see him work with Congress to pass another
round of historic tax relief, and you're going to see
a government that is accountable to the people again. The
swamp will be drained on day one. Incompetent and disloyal
people that are hurting this nation are going to be
(07:23):
replaced with those who care only for the American people,
the American worker, and the American future.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
It will be a new Golden.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Age, Sean.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
All right, let's get some reactions from everyday Americans like
you and me. News Max caught up with a Kentucky
resident and asked her how she felt about President Trump's
first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You're gonna like this.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
What do you think of the first one hundred days?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Said Trump?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Blown away. Amazing, amazing. He couldn't have done any better
for seventy eight years old. He's phenomenal. I'd like to
see anybody who can stay up as late as he
does at night and read up the next morning and
still function all day, because I don't think I could.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
What have you liked the most in terms of what
he's done? Oh my gosh, the immigration policies. You know,
if you hear it legally, you need to do home.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
I'm not sure what your question was with the Michael.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Berris, I lost the plot somewhere, did you did the
reminder that today is the end of the one hundred days.
This is one hundredth day of President Trump's second term,
and we just finished at the end of the last
segment we heard from a lady in Kentucky. Now, let's
(08:45):
see what other people. Let's see what the real people,
not the media who hate him. Let's see what the
real people of America are saying about how they think
the president is doing so far. And if you want
to share your views on how the president is doing
with me, you can go to our website. Michael Berry
showed up where you can sign up for our daily
e blast, which in you clips of stories and articles
that I'm reading and things like that. You can buy
(09:09):
our merch and you can you send me an email
there and they all come to me. I literally read
them all. People don't believe it, but I do read
them all. Fellow who posts under the name Tony times
two on Twitter says President Trump has had the best
first one hundred days of any president ever.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
I agree Donald Trump's first hundred days an officer coming up.
And now the liberal news stations have already started that
Smith campaign saying Donald Trump that the lords of Pool rating. Ever,
this is the lords of Pool rating for a president
and the second term straight. Nun see, they got to
make up stuff about Trump because he got here.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It got straight to business. We had an issue with.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
The southern border for the longest Callmala Harris, Joe Biden.
They gas led us for four years straight and said
that we were having no issues at the southern border,
That it wasn't a record number llegal immivers invade the
our nation, That it wasn't illegal immigrants unlive and innocent
American citizens, That it wasn't illegal immigrants harassing our legal
immigrant communities. Y'all said that wasn't happening donald Trump getting
(10:12):
office and addressed that immediately. Not because of Trump and
Tom Homan. It's a record low of illegal border crosses
at the southern border. Some of these immigration shelters in
these sanctuary cities they have to close down because of
a lack of applicans. That's because of Donald J.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Trump. That's what we call a Trump effect. What else
the tariffs.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
It's not our fault that y'all don't understand the tariffs.
Y'all walking around here complaining, Oh, Donald Trump's about to
ruin the world with these tariffs. It's not our fault
that you don't understand Trump's agenda. It's not our fault
that you don't understand that. Barack Obama implemented tariffs on
China and.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It didn't work. It didn't get us a better trade deal.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Joe Biden got an office, tried the same thing, still
didn't work. But then when Trump getting office, a plot
blanket tariffs. All of a sudden time they want to
try to come to the table. Now you're seeing them
starting to remove stuff from their tariffs. This is what
you call getting a fair deal. This is all because
of Donald Trump. He shook it up, he took it
to the next level. Obama couldn't get it done, Biden
(11:10):
couldn't get it done.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But guess who is getting it done. That'd be Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
So, like I said, it ain't my fault that y'all
don't understand tariffs.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Y'all want to keep telling me these lines like gas
went up.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
That's a bold faced line gas is not going up.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'm paying three dollars and sixty cent for.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Ninety three gas, So y'all can tell that a lot
of somebody else. I'm not trying to hear it. Then
y'all told us, or what about the jobs? Who's gonna
pick the fruit, who's gonna cut the grass? And all
this other nonsense. Well, how about this. According to the
BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics, one hundred and fifty one
thousand jobs came back to the United States in February
of two hundred and twenty eight thousand jobs came back
(11:48):
to the United States in marsh that's three hundred and
seventy nine thousand jobs. And y'all got the nerd to
complaining about what Donald Trump is doing. Said, well, he
wasn't creating any jobs, straight up nonsense. What about these
HBC used, y'all said, Trump is a YT supremacist. Well,
how about he signed the executive order calling out the
states saying the states have not been holding up their
(12:10):
responsibility when it comes to funding these HBC used.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He already got permanent funded for the HBC used, And
this is what a YT supremacy did.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
He's calling out the states that they need to do
a better job with these HBC used, and he's created
different departments within the White House to address this. Y'a
should go read that executive order. A lot of HBC
used than Trump for that. What about the executive order
he signed about school safety?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
He bought a woman up from Charlotte.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
She was attacked in the school, and now they bring
a back paddling in some.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Of these schools. This is what Donald Trump has done.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
What about the fact that Trump has brought factories back
to the United States? Talk about kill, talk about apple.
These are things that Donald Trump is doing. What about
the deals he has secured one point four trillion dollars
from the UAE, invested the toile AI infrastructure. I'm just
confus on what they mean to approve of rating this vote.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It took me.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
It just sounds like Donald Trump is getting the job
done and they hate the fact that the other side
is getting the job done.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So what is the real issue? All that comes down
to is this, you all hating the.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
United States because Donald Trump won, and you hate Trump
because he took out both your competitors, Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden. I don't care what anybody say. Donald Trump
is addressing the things that the American citizens have been
worried about, and he did that in a hundred days.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm glad I vought it for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Fox News asked some of our fellow Americans what they
thought of President Trump's first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
First of all, he's done more in the first one
hundred days than I've done in my thirty eight year career.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
So he's great to watch.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
But I really love the cabinet meetings. He lets the
American people into those rooms. We get to observe the
questions and the answers know what they're doing. It's really
a way that he connects with the public, and I
think that's so important. Negotiating is his skills are unbelievable.
You remember when he was negotiating for the Boeing jet
and he talked about how he wanted it under I
(14:08):
think it was three hundred thousand dollars or something. He
got it to two ninety nine, nine ninety nine because planes, Yeah, exactly.
I'd like inflation to come down a little more, but
I'm patient. I think we need to be patient because
he's going to get it done. He's got the stomach
for it, and we just got to be behind him
one hundred percent. So just keep doing what you're doing,
President Trump.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
We love it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Safety mas Lov's hierarchy of needs. Our first need is
safety and security.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
So the first hundred day is what grade would you
give Donald Trump?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And why on.
Speaker 12 (14:43):
A scale of one to ten twenty Why? I just
I feel safer, I feel more confident. I know who's
running the country, and we hadn't for the last four years.
I think the economy is going to come around.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
I love the people that he's picked for the cabinet.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
I think everybody is just doing a top notch job,
and I love those.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I study a peacock, a feral peacock that landed in
our yard.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's not our peacock. They don't belong to you. They
just cavort around.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But I study him and I notice he takes a
pack of a worm, and then he lives around, takes
a pack of a worm, looks around. Because birds are prey,
they're not predator. I mean, I guess they're a predator
to the worm. But the first thing they have to
(15:39):
worry about, more than food, more than continuing the species,
is safety. It's the number one responsibility of government to
provide for the safety of our people from foreign enemies
and domestic should also ensure liberty. I guess arguably insuring
(16:02):
liberty is first. We'll have to take some responsibility for
our own safety. Yeah, I would say that, but safety
is important. I got carried away on that. I would
say insuring liberty is probably most important. But this one
wouldn't feel safer because Donald Trump is president. Do you
think anybody ever felt safer because of Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Or for that matter, Barack Obama, or for that matter,
George W.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Bush.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
He dragged us into wars, he didn't get us out
of them. This president deserves a Nobel peach.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
January twenty, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Michael Barry show, shut a mighty.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Let's look at Joe Biden and how his presidency started
started the same way it ended with an invasion on
our southern border. This is an illegal alien in one
of the many caravans Joe Biden let into our country,
welcomed them here, incentivized them to come here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
What I want for my people that I just want
and pest that we can get to the us because
they're having a new president versus Biden.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
He's going to help all of us.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
He's given us one hundred days to get to the
US and give us legal men to pay for so
we can get a better life for our kids and family.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Listen to what Joe Biden's goal was for his first
one hundred days masks.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Masks.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
That's because masks represent the subjugation of the people to
the authoritarian figure.
Speaker 13 (17:29):
And I think my inclination, Jake is in the first
day I'm inaugurated, to say I'm going to ask the
public for one hundred days to mask, just one hundred
days to mask, not forever. One hundred days, and I
think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that
that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the
(17:51):
numbers considerably.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You know, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris. That's
not the only bullet that was dodged last year.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
To the nation's benefit, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris.
Gun control was her top priority when she ran for
her party's nomination in twenty twenty. That was the big issue.
No matter what she said, dr in the campaign, she
was still a progressive loan.
Speaker 14 (18:15):
I'm proposing one that if by my one hundredth day
in office, when elected President of the United States, the
United States Congress fails to put a bill on my
desk to sign with all of the good ideas, or
any of the good ideas, then I am prepared to
take executive action because that's what's.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Needed, executive options to do.
Speaker 14 (18:36):
Specifically, for anyone who sells more than five guns a year,
they will be required to perform background checks on the
people they sell them to.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
And this will be the most.
Speaker 14 (18:46):
Comprehensive background check policy that has ever been had in
our country thus far.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Can that be executive order?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yes, yes it can. I am also prepared.
Speaker 14 (18:56):
To say and to direct the ATF to remove and
take away the licenses of gun dealers who fail to
follow the law. And Jake, ninety percent of the guns
that are associated with crime have been sold by five
percent of the gun dealers. We need to take their
licenses away.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Batya Ungar Sargon is the deputy editing editor of Sorry,
the deputy opinion editor for Newsweek. She was on CNN
to talk about Trump's first hundred days. She says, this
is this is no, this is no nothing to sneeze at.
She said, the very thing that he's being criticized for
(19:39):
is the theme that actually worked.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
This is a very very astute point.
Speaker 15 (19:46):
Is that the very thing that he's being criticized for
is the thing that worked. If he had come in
and very nicely and politely gone to each of these
countries worked.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm trying going if.
Speaker 15 (19:57):
You're very nicely and calmly and politely gone to each
of these countries and said, look, you've been screwing us over.
You've been screwing over the American working class for forty years,
and we're not going to take it anymore. Let's sit
down and have like a nice conversation. Why won't you
How about you you bring down those tariffs. Let's meet
halfway somewhere, because you would have said, no way.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I'll tell you what works.
Speaker 15 (20:16):
He picked up a baseball bet, he whacked the stock market,
and now they're all sitting there in a.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
State of relief that it's only.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
And they're all to the way.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
I'm conf that's how you.
Speaker 16 (20:27):
Really, Legitimately, I'm legitimately confused. So Trump destroying twenty percent
of wealth in the country, They all as losses have uncovered.
Who wins done? Hold on, Kevin, don't don't what? Who benefits?
Who benefits when the stock market drops and people lose
(20:52):
value in both their their in both their investments now
to get a deal.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
So yeah, it's been for weeks and we don't have
a deal yet. They're working, they're very close to announcing them.
India and Vietnam both announced tariffs on China. You think
they would have done that if Trump hadn't shown that
he was serious about standing up for the American working
class and that he doesn't work for wal What.
Speaker 16 (21:15):
How have the American people benefited? Is the question that
I'm asking in this.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Period, really, in this period in factory.
Speaker 16 (21:23):
Those are commitments that have not materialized in.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
A We're heavy on the audio today and heavy on
the audio this week, and that's because there are a
lot of things that I'm trying to work in. I
know some of you like me to talk longer form,
and we'll do that typically that is what we do.
But I have been consuming more media than usual because
(21:50):
I'm curious to see how the narrative is being shaped,
and I like to kind of present that to you
and weave that through the narrative i'm presenting. So if
you're wondering why we're playing more audio than usual, it's
because I am prepping by consuming more media than usual.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Usually when I'm off air, I'd.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Like to spend some time watching movies and documentaries and
reading books, But of late, I've really been studying what
they're doing to try to slow Trump down, and I'm
trying to share that with you. So just so you know,
maybe I over explained the show, but some people like
to know why I'm doing what I'm doing, especially when
it's different than I normally do. Ashley Parker of the
Atlantic was on MSNBC with Jen Pisaki to talk about
(22:34):
her sit down interview with President Trump. Pasaki wanted Ashley
Parker of the Atlantic to disparage Donald Trump, as they
all do you know, we've got to keep this narrative going.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
She said no. She said he's cursaively.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Bad right now.
Speaker 17 (22:50):
I mean they have moved downward, even on issues that
he ran on, like cost of living, immigration, and he
wants to project strength and joy or something don't even know, enjoy,
just strength. This is an age old tactic in white houses,
right We're going to tell everybody everything's great.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
That's what he kind of said in the interview.
Speaker 17 (23:08):
He seemed to try to be attempting to project that.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
They're doing other interviews.
Speaker 17 (23:12):
Why do you is that really his mental space or
is this sort of a tactic from the White House
to just try to project that.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
So a couple of things.
Speaker 18 (23:19):
One thing about I think he is trying to project strength.
I think one reason he specifically brought us in at
The Atlantic and included for the second interview Jeff Goldberg,
the editor in chief, it was a little bit of
game respects game. He had said in a second Truth
social post that Signal Gate was somewhat successful. So Jeff
asked him, what did you mean by that? Did you
mean that we revealed, you know, operational security flaws that
(23:42):
the administration has now fixed. And President Trump basically said, no, No,
you were successful essentially because you got publicity for your
story and you really owned that news cycle. And again
that's another window in to the president.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
And also when we were.
Speaker 18 (23:56):
There, he was in People who know him know this.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
He has the capacity.
Speaker 18 (23:59):
He was charming, he was charismatic, and his goal in
that moment was to win us in most specifically Jeff Over.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So that was the Michael Barry Show, the place where
Wolke goes to gud.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Let's talk about the other bullet. We dodged Joe Biden
and his decline. We played this the other day, but
I want to play this again because this is important.
This is Alex Thompson of Axios lecturing the media at
the White House Correspondence dinner for covering up Biden's lack
of mental acuity, and this needs to be done. We
(24:36):
have to call these people out and not let them
get away with what they did.
Speaker 19 (24:41):
The White House Corresponds Association is as necessary as ever.
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being true tellers
(25:02):
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
missed a lot of this story, and some people trust
us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for
faith in the media being at such lows. I say
(25:27):
this because acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about
them further erodes him.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We should have done better.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt was asked about those
comments that Alex Thompson made about Joe Biden's mental decline.
And I got to tell you, you know, everybody in this
administration has stepped up. Everybody has really really stepped up.
I didn't know how, I know how she was going
to do, but she has really risen to the occasion.
Speaker 20 (25:57):
Is this is good stuff, Alex Thompson said at the
White House Correspondent Center, And I'm going to read his quote.
President Biden's decline and it's cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of the party, is capable of discession. We myself included,
miss a lot of this story and.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Some people trust us less because of it.
Speaker 20 (26:15):
Can you comment on those remarks and whether you agree
with that assessment.
Speaker 21 (26:19):
I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who,
I understand want an award for writing a story months
and perhaps years after the American people already knew that
story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally
and competent president struggle with his day to day duties
of this office. We watched our country be ran into
the ground as a result, and nobody in the media
(26:41):
wanted to write about that.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Talk about it.
Speaker 21 (26:43):
There were many many reporters, I will say write leaning
reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards,
didn't get coverage. In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage.
And I remember being on President Trump's campaign talking about
Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused by people
in this room of manufacturing deep fake videos, trying to
(27:06):
persuade the public into not believing what they saw with
their own eyes for many years, and I think it's
about time the legacy media finally admits that was one
of the greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took
place in American history. And certainly it did contribute to
the decline and the trust that Americans have for the
legacy media here, which, by the way, is why we've
(27:26):
made many changes to this briefing room in this White House.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
It's long overdue.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
That's smarmy little f Chuck Todd.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Every time I see Chuck Todd's name gives me a
fond memory thinking of Rush saying it and how much
fun he had just ridiculing the pretentiousness of Chuck Todd. Anyway,
he and Ashley Allison were discussing the media's role in
the cover up, and Chuck Todd doesn't take any responsibility.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
He blames the Democrats. Well, I guess it's better blaming
the Republicans.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
You know, if Coca Cola had a bunch of people
no longer drinking Coca cola, you want to actually go
interview people who used to drink Coca cola and ask
them how come you're not drinking Coca Cola anymore.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I don't get the sense of that at all.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
There's there's there's still this idea oh no, no, no, no, if
we just sell it better, if we just do it better.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And then on the last comment, it's just kind of interesting.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
I do think what happened to the Democratic Party is
they kept comparing Biden to Trump rather than Biden to what.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
A president should be able to do.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
And I think it was like, well, Trump's kind of
out there and he's so, it's so it's good enough
to go against Trump. Well no, like that doesn't shouldn't
have been the But I do think whatever that explanation is,
I think it all had to do with them judging
Biden through the prism of well Trump's sort of out there,
so it's good enough for that.
Speaker 22 (28:43):
Ash Alison, what do you think. Look in twenty twenty
two after the mid terms, I said, if you want
to run for president and be the Democratic nominee, anybody
who wants to run should be able to run. Unfortunately
nobody will.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
A couple of people, but Dean Phillips, right, Dean.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Phillips stepped up.
Speaker 22 (29:00):
Democrats, we should have had a primary for this midterm election,
and we didn't, and so now we're living with the
consequences of it. I hope that our party wakes up
and realizes it, and that me saying that doesn't mean
that I don't respect Joe Biden, but there's a reality,
and that we should have given our voters an opportunity
to make a decision for themselves, and by the time
(29:22):
we had to make a decision, it.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
Was too late.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
There was no actual set of voters.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Who felt like they had to say in this hold
up ro mahone, hold up a minute, play that last
ten seconds or so again.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I want to make sure everybody hears this.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites Pictor Biden, and the
elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set of
voters who felt like they had to say in this.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You know, it's so fun to watch these guys.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They've all lost their jobs and now they're doing podcasts
at home like it's the middle of COVID and it's
so sad and pitiful and they're all trying to change reality.
Chuck Todd was on a podcast with former CNN reporter
Chris Solissa where he blamed right wing virtue signalers.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
How come y'all are out there, and I'm one of them,
by the way, how come.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Y'all are out there saying that we were covering up
for Joe Biden's middle decline, covering up for your own
middle decline. There were one of these dudes in therapy.
They're all nuts, they all have mental health problem. Do
you ever notice that everybody on the left is nuts,
and you know how you know they're nuts because they
talk about going to their therapist all the time.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
This is not a media failure. This is a failure
of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the
virtue signaling that some people have done to try to
say that the media missed this story.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
They didn't miss this story. David Ignatius wrote.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it's
a right wing, manufactured, right wing premise in order to
stay in the media.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
The media has got plenty of things to attack them for.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
And there are MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely
carried water for Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
But they're not journalists.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
They're former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden. The
journalist David Ignatius wrote a very high profile column in
October of twenty three saying, is he really running again?
Speaker 6 (31:22):
This doesn't seem like a good idea.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
People like me were promoting Dean Phillips's campaign because he.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Was running.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
Set So you know, it's not like this. This isn't WMDs,
where the White House worked with the mainstream media to
manufacture a story that did not exist. That was a
press failure, massive press failure. This was not that failure.
This is an attempt by some to virtue signal. And
(31:53):
it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against
each other, when ultimately the people at fall are Chuck Schumer,
Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, every elected
member of Congress.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
So Elizie says that journalists weren't covering up for Biden,
but rather their bias had them trusting the Biden White House.
Why would you have a bias in favor of the Democrats.
Speaker 23 (32:21):
Oh, we weren't covering up. We were just biased because
we trusted them. It's their fault because we trusted them.
They should not have abused our trust. We just trusted them.
That's our fault.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah. Do you hear yourself?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Why didn't you ask more questions?
Speaker 24 (32:38):
And I will This is I'm not speaking for all
of the media, because all the media is a fast thing.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
But here's what I would say.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Any study that you.
Speaker 24 (32:44):
Ever see about who reporters vote for, they vote for
Democrats much more than Republicans. And I think what was
going on here is I think it was an inherent
and sort of unconscious bias more than a conscious bias.
But I think the reporters covering this White House were
two willing to take the Biden teams work for you.
