Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loud, So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We have had a lot of news this week. In
a lot of developments for the Trump White House. The
last known living American hostage in Gaza is set to
be released, progress on trade with China, this ceasefire between
India and Pakistan, and now possible face to face talks
between Zelenski and Kutin for the first time since Russia
invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
To win with every single facet. We're gonna win so much.
You may even get tired of winning, and you'll say, please, please,
it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. This
is the president. It's too much, And I'll say, no,
it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to
win more. We're gonna win more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of
Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in
our because.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You'd be in jail.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It was a standard line for them. Donald Trump is
a threat to democracy.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
I'm just the opposite.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm the one that fixed our military.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'm the one that knocked out isis.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I'm the one. I did so much. I also took
a bullet.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement. But
the truth is, the movement has never been about me.
It has always been about you.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
It's your movement.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's the biggest movement in the history of our country
by far.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Can't be stocked.
Speaker 8 (01:29):
It can't be stopped. From June fourteenth, a month and
a day from now, President Trump will turn seventy nine.
I go visit my dad almost every day, the Old
Folks Home. There are people there less than seventy nine
who struggle to get to dinner at five o'clock walking
(01:54):
down the hallway. The debilitating effects of age on our memory,
on our bodies, they vary. It is worth noting that
Donald Trump never drank not a drop of alcohol in
his life. His brother Fred died of alcoholism, and Donald
Trump didn't want to do that, opposed to doing drugs
(02:19):
that no doubt affects his physical state. I also believe
that people who retire from a job they hate as
opposed to people who never retire because they loved their
job and work until the day they die. That's Rush Limbaugh.
Those are two very different things. I think Donald Trump
(02:40):
would be a different person today physically, mentally, maybe had
he not won in twenty sixteen. He is like a
guy who's running the eight hundred and he made that
first lap of a sprint, and now he's not nearly
as fast as he was. Maybe that first lap. He's
at full on sprint and he knows I can rest
(03:03):
after I finished that finish line. I truly believe he
is a man on a mission. It's an amazing thing
to see. Yesterday morning I watched as he did a
press conference live with all the positive news, the hostage,
the last hostage released to the United States, who was alive,
the Russia Ukraine cease fire very close, having negotiated the
(03:29):
India Pakistan ceasefire through jd vance, the China teriff deal,
ninety day reprieve in Switzerland. Over the weekend, he hopped
Air Force one, flew to Jeddah, arrives there to a
hero's welcome, does his formal duties. That's exhausting. And this
(03:55):
morning at ten thirty, as I was on the air
at ten thirty three, he began to speak at the
Saudi US investment for him, when did he sleep? He
says he's troubles was sleeping. When did he sleep?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I ask?
Speaker 8 (04:13):
And what's amazing is I've flown to the Middle East,
I've flown to Europe, I've fown to India, went to Japan.
At Christmas, I'd be laid up and groggy. This man,
I mean, it's this is a man who is driven.
There's no doubt about that. He is willing himself and
all the while, some great news back home. The April
(04:37):
inflation numbers are in and they are better than expected.
Fox Business.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
We're coming out a little bit lighter than expected. So
we came in at point two percent month of a month.
The street was looking for point three, So that's actually
better than what the street thought was going.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
To happen here.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Two point three percent is the is the headline number
year every year. The streets estimate was two point four,
so again that's a lighter number than expected.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Zero point two percent.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Core month over month, yes him, it was point three,
again better than expected. Courier over year came in at
two pointy eight percent. That was actually in line.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
So President Trump took off his January twentieth ten days
as president, then February and March, his third full month
is April. We just got the April data back. That's
what these announcements are. We're two weeks into the next month.
It's a rolling delay. Grocery prices saw their largest decline
(05:34):
in almost five years. What does that mean? Grocery prices
have gone back to January of twenty twenty. When Donald
Trump was president in January twenty twenty, you would have
thought him unbeatable because the economy was on fire. However,
(06:00):
George Floyd, the COVID, all the things they unleashed and
we suffered as a result of Gas prices for April
fell for the third month in a row. So take
out January because he doesn't take off us till January twentieth.
You got February, March, and April Ohn. So for all
(06:22):
three months he's president, gas prices dropped, and yet everyone's panicked.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
I can't live under this. It's horrible.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
What's horrible.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
It's just terrible. It's horrible. Things are not good.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
What's not good. Here's what's hard for a lot of
people in the political bubble to understand. Most people don't
watch Fox News, they don't watch CNN, they don't watch MSNBC.
They don't know who all these politicians are, and they
don't care. They're never gonna care. It doesn't make them
(07:00):
lesser human beings. Some of them still vote. You know
what they do know if they can meet their car
payment and their house payment, whether the paycheck they get
is enough to cover the expenses and buy eggs so
the family can have breakfast. By those metrics, Donald Trump
is winning. But the average person isn't getting that information
(07:25):
from ABCCBS, the local newspaper because those people hate Trump.
And that's where we are. That's where we are. Things
are getting better by the day in this country. It's
important that we tell that story because it happens to
be true.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast if you dare.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
What if and I'm sure this wouldn't be the case,
but what if there were a lot of blacks and
white liberals who hate people. What if the death and
destruction of white people was not only acceptable but desirable?
(08:09):
That wouldn't happen. We know that wouldn't happen. It can't happen.
There's no way it would happen. But what if it did?
How far would it go before people were comfortable talking
about it in public? Because there's no way it would happen, right, Well,
it's happening in South Africa. In South Africa, there's video
(08:31):
after video of people like Julius Malamo, South African politician
who's the founder and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
Sounds like a nice enough group, huh. It's a far
left political party known for the red berets and military
style outfits warned by their members. South African President Malama
(08:52):
is a controversial and divisive figure in South African politics.
He has been favorably described by Zuma as the future
leader of South Africa. He spoke out against the white
genocide conspiracy theory and was critical of comments made by
President Trump, claiming it was quote absolute rubbish to say
(09:15):
there's white genocide.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
And then there's this.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Must never be scared to kill and revolution de mind
that at some point that must be killing because the
killing is part of a evolutionary act.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Wait, hold on it. So the guy says it is
absolute rubbish to say there's white genocide. He's saying that
Trump is saying absolute rubbish. And then we have him
saying there has to be killing because the killing is
part of this. We got them in chance in a moment,
(09:58):
white men, you must die. They chant, shoot to kill,
kill the farmer, kill the boar. The bore Boer are
white South Africans who've been there for years, who are
of Dutch lineage. The amazing thing is just like we
(10:21):
saw when Edy, I mean drove the Indians out. What's
going to happen is a complete and utter collapse of
the South African economy. It would happen anywhere when you
drive the people in charge of the means of production,
with the expertise, the experience, the capital, the decision making,
(10:41):
the relationships, when you drive them out, you can't replace
them overnight. You can say I want black empowerment all
day long, but you can't simply put someone into a
position who's never held that position across the ECONO me
and assume things are gonna go well because they're not.
(11:07):
Because they're not. Let's finish with Julius Malema. I don't
know what's going to opinion in the future.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
I'm saying to you with not called for the killing
of white people, at least for now, I can't guarantee
the future.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that, especially as it
gets shared on Twitter, they freak out.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
It sounds like a genocide.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
So that's good enough. So let's go now to the
South African blacks calling in a chant for a white man.
You must die, white man, you must die.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Not just this.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Man, white man, you must die. Almost seems like, well,
I don't know. So then let's go to see a
n How are they handling this because Trump brought forty
six South African whites here under the refugee program. These
are real refugees. They will be killed. This isn't people
(12:08):
looking for a better life. They will be killed. CNN's
Ashley Anderson. The most dangerous dangerous political and media figure
is the white liberal woman, followed closely by the angry
black woman. She's not actually liberal because their politics are
(12:30):
not philosophical. They are an angry anti politics. But she
and the white liberal woman can get along as long
as they're hating Trump and you and me. Eventually, eventually
she will she will end the white liberal woman. But
for now she finds her useful and they find common ground.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Okay, So, if you think about the history of South
Africa being a aernopartheid system where I think it is
eighty percent of the population that are Black Africans only
owned four percent of the land. That is because they
were put in chanty towns and moved into areas where
(13:13):
they had no rights. And so thirty five thirty plus
years ago they went through a the Partheise system ended
and they reformed their constitution under the great leader of
Nelson Mandela, and that allowed for a racial reconciliation, one
that this country has.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Yet to do. There we go stop there. The slaughter
of white people, the wholesale takeover by black people, is
not racial reconciliation. This is the fantasy of every angry
white liberal, an angry black activists. We will take over.
(14:00):
He will kill the whites and drive them from the lands,
and we will have all the wealth, and we will
have all the power, and they will be reduced to
tears and rubble. Make no mistake, that's what they're calling for.
That's what they are calling for. That's the mentality you
saw after George Floyd. That's the mentality when cops are killed.
(14:24):
That's the mentality when black activists show up after a
black father who got it's got to be horrible. His
son was shot and killed as he was committing a
felony by a cop. Okay, that's a horrible I don't
wish for anybody to have to bury their own kid.
But he was in the middle of the commission of
a felony and then he drove his car to kill
a cop. As a result, he's being made out to
(14:47):
be a hero by this black group that show up
with long guns into public buildings to menace and intimidate.
Most Americans, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, immigrant native born just
want to live their lives. But make no mistake, it
is these white liberals in media and politics and the
(15:10):
small percentage of angry black politicians who are using and
stoking this fear and anger because they have feistic, fetishistic
fantasies of a race war.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast, is Sexy Be Sexy?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
An interesting thing has happened. President Trump or his Department
of Homeland Security is terminating the protected status for Afghanistan refugees.
Here is MSNBC with their.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
Report breaking news, and it is yet another immigration related news.
The DHS saying it will terminate temporary protected status for
Afghanistan effective two months from today.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Well, it's you know, temporary protect to status affects hundreds
of thousands of immigrants in this country, and for a
while now, since taking office, the Trump administration has tried
to present temporary protective status for a wide range of people,
even asking the Supreme Court several weeks ago to allow
for the revocation of temporary protective status for certain countries
including Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Well, now the administration says
(16:22):
that it is provoking temporary protected status for Afghans, and
that is of course significant, has the potential to affect
very a lot of Afghans, and it's already receiving criticism
from some of those groups that evacuate Afghan citizen. I
just received a statement from one who says the decision
to terminate TPS for Afghanistan is not rooted in reality,
(16:43):
it's rooted in politics, and then essentially amounts to a
betrayal of Afghan citizens who helped the United States and
that afghan is still under the rule of the Taliban.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
So here's what happens when you involve yourself in foreign
wars Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, a number of others. You put
yourself in a situation where you desperately need support from
(17:15):
the locals or your service members. Those service members, and
this is completely understandable, want to protect the people who
helped save their lives while they were there, so there
is an emotional plea can we bring them back here?
The problem is some of them are not good guys,
(17:36):
and some people claim to be people who helped our
service members, but it's an imperfect process. In fact, they're
the people who were killing our service members. Now they
land on our shores. We have created an environment where
it's not safe and secure. People are not comfortable. Why
would we do this to ourselves? Why would we put
(17:56):
ourselves on edge? We don't release and the snakes into
our home.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Why would we do this?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
There's no reason for it. Well, I have said for
some time that London was my favorite city in the
world to visit, but not in its current state as
the Caliphate and the rise of radical Islam in England
has reached such a critical mass that I have feared
(18:24):
there was no chance of it ever coming back. Just
like an addict must reach rock bottom before they are
ready to turn it all around, and can't do it.
Short of that, they can make excuses. Something interesting is
happening the United Kingdom's Prime Minister Keir Stormer is saying
(18:45):
something he's never said before, that his country needs to
take back its borders. It feels like a land full
of strangers, an island of strangers. Yes, that's what happens
when you balkanize your country. You see, the United States
will always known as a melting pot. But if you
have too many disparate groups coming in in large clumps,
(19:06):
like the Somalis in Mogadishu, Minnesota, for instance, you create
an environment where these people don't integrate. They don't become
American citizens. They live in Mogadishu, but in the State
of Many At Minnesota they elect one of their own,
ilhan Omar, who speaks of the hatred for this country
(19:28):
and her love of Somalia, and that she represents Somalia,
not the people here. This right here is a breaking
of the ice. Here Starmer saying this the UK Prime minister,
so first time I recall him ever saying anything like this.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Let me put it this way. Nations depend on rules
phair rules. Sometimes they're written down, often they're not, but
either way they give shape to our values, guide us
towards our rights, of course, but also our responsibilities. The
(20:04):
obligations we owe to each other now in a diverse
nation like ours, and I celebrate that these rules become
even more important. Without them, we risk becoming an island
of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. So
(20:25):
when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed
to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in
lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people,
or simply one that is sold by politicians to the
British people on an entirely false premise, then you're not
(20:46):
championing growth, you're not championing justice or how or else
people defend the status quo. You're actually contributing to the
forces that are slowly pulling our country apart. So yes,
I believe in this. I believe we need to reduce
immigration significantly. That's why some of the policies in this
(21:11):
white paper go back nearly three years, why I told
the Labor Party conference taking back control is a Labor argument,
and why most importantly of all, inward migration is already
falling with this government.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
The issue of the movement of people across borders and
how it affects countries. You know, we have had a
significant problem with illegal immigration into the United States through Texas,
in California and Arizona. But I want to be very clear,
(21:51):
migration in and of itself is not a bad thing.
The great migrations across Europe the American continent gave shape
and form to some of what we love. I will
tell you that from Germans coming to Texas to Kunasis
(22:15):
coming west out of Louisiana. Two Mexicans who came into
Texas before Texas was an independent state and certainly before
it was part of the United States, gave a culture
to the state. And those people's descendants today are the
proudest Americans you will find serving in law enforcement schools,
(22:39):
military communities, churches. The tenor of that has changed. What
you want as part of a great nation, as part
of a great organization is to draft one new rookie
here and trade for one seasoned veteran that he's clubhouse
(23:01):
maturity there, and keep the culture of your organization year
after year. But when you create wholesale change and you
upend that, people are naturally it's what's going to happen,
going to retain the culture they brought with them, which
is likely at odds with the home host culture. You
(23:26):
want people to add to, not detract from your culture.
You cannot have massive immigration waves and do that. What
was once celebrated our American immigrants has changed, and all
for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I call him Ritchen Mirchael Berry.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
So you're at the grocery store and you're standing behind somebody,
and the cashier as that person's checking out, says, that'll
be one hundred ninety two and forty eight cents. Okay.
So the person hands them their credit card and they'll say,
get your cell phone number, and they rattle it off,
(24:17):
and I imagine in a sort of George Orwell nineteen
eighty four sort of way, or maybe even a brave
New World Eltis Huxley, the person saying last three sexual partners,
social security number. And when I bring this up to people,
they said, Michael, what are you spassing out about. Everybody's
(24:39):
got your information all the time anyway. Well, that's that's
like saying, why are you upset that someone stole your car?
Everybody's getting their cars. The moment you stop reacting and
protecting and guarding and ensuring your rights are secured. Had
a law school professor, Alan Scott, who taught us the
(25:01):
first week that he who sits on his rights and
does not enforce them loses them.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And that is true.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Rights are not self enforcing. Privacy, the protection of your
own information is a right, it is a power. It
is important, and we're only going to see worse fraud
than we see today as the bad guys grow more
and more empowered to harvest your information, to sell your information,
(25:30):
to abuse your information. Earlier this month, Pacific Legal Foundation,
a site that I follow, launched a new lawsuit over
the federal government requiring lenders to gather invasive personal information
in cash real estate transactions. Lenders who failed to do so,
even accidentally, face significant penalties and even jail time. Luke
(25:54):
Wake is an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, and
this organization does very good work bringing lawsuits where there
may not otherwise be a plaintiff or on behalf of
a plaintiff to advance a legal cost. This is important stuff. Luke,
welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Hey, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
So you right, Congress cannot shirk its lawmaking responsibilities. By
granting federal agencies a blank check to write laws, Finsen
is now mandating unreasonable collection and reporting of personal information
to the federal government. The agency is claiming a sweeping
power to require reporting unconceivably any consumer transaction simply because
(26:40):
systematic reporting might prove useful to the government. In other words,
give us all your information all the time, because some
of you are committing crimes and you're all innocent until
proven guilty. And besides, we like to know where you
spend your money.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Yeah, it's the I mean, it's the IO souron and
right now, the iosuron is focused on people who are
buying cash real estate deals, and that's very common. If
you accountability to buy without taking out a loan, it
makes a lot of sense to do it. But they're
requiring if you buy a real property residential property in
(27:15):
Texas or anywhere else in the country at this point,
and you're not taking out a loan, they're requiring you
to gather or not you, but your lender, the folks
who are closing working with you to close that deal,
have to gather all sorts of information about you and
and the entity in which you're transferring it to, if
it's going to a trust or if it's going to
an LLC or something like that. And right now it's
(27:38):
just real real estate. But under the authority that they're
relying on to do this rule, they could conceivably require
reporting on any consumer transaction. So that's just an incredibly
assertion of authority. And frankly, if I don't think the
federal government has any business regulating local real estate transactions
at all, but if they're going to have these kinds
(27:59):
of rules, it really should be coming from Congress, not
from an agency.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Luke, we deal with this in so many different ways.
This is a panoply of problems that can be categorized
as the imperial state executive branch creep. This idea that
agencies who are empowered to enforce laws, whether that's regulatory authority,
(28:25):
revenue collection authority, whatever, that may be becoming their own
rule promulgating entity, and unless they are checked with litigation
like this, they don't stop. On what basis do you
argue they lack any authority to do this, Well.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Actually, we don't argue that they lack authority. The problem
here is Congress. Congress gave the Secretary of Treasurer Treasury
and the term of the Secretary of Treasury gave the
sub agency and the Secretary Treasury a blank check to
require according on any transaction they want. So the problem
really is the fact that Congress gave a check blank check.
(29:05):
It said, go write whatever rules you want. And so
that violates under the Constitution what we call the non
delegation doctrine, which is very simple. Congress writes the law
in this country, and Congress cannot just punt and give
away the power to make law to someone else. And
so that's exactly the problem here is Congress has said
(29:25):
you go out and write whatever rules you want, and
that's just not the way law is supposed to be
written in this country. So that's the problem. First and foremost,
it's Congress shirking its responsibility to actually decide what the
law is and to make the hard decisions.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
Well, there is a very disturbing trend of data collection
under the premise that everyone is cheating the irs and
we need to and it's ensnared a lot of people.
The banking regulation that you can't take it if you
take out more than ten thousand dollars the bank becomes
a de fact dough agent of the government. And these
(30:02):
banks are scared to death because they're regulated. So if
someone wants to take out cash to go on a vacation,
it's their cash. By the way, they have to be reported,
and that spooks people. Well, if you take out just
less than that, which we know that that a Speaker
of the House at one point did, then you get caught.
You get caught for structuring, which is attempting to you know, uh,
(30:25):
maneuver against this regulation. And it's making people into criminals
for simply not wanting to be on government databases, and
that's not in and of itself a crime.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well, and you may also be aware that Fennsend which
is of course the sub agency within the Department of
Treasury that that's responsible for the rule we're suing about.
But they recently finalized issued orders requiring reporting, requiring your
banks to report any you know, withdrawal from an ATM
of as little as two hundred dollars within certain counties
(30:58):
in Texas near the border, so it doesn't even necessarily
have to be a large transaction. Their assertion and authority
here is that they can essentially require reporting of any
suspicious transaction and apparently you know what is suspicious that's
in the eye of the beholder. That's a blank check
of power for the agency to require reports on literally anything,
(31:23):
and it doesn't just as noted in our lawsuit, it
doesn't just have to be transactions coming out of your bank.
They have authority to require any business in the United
States to file reports and to follow whatever procedures for
gathering and collecting and reporting information that they think is
(31:44):
going to ultimately be helpful for any sort of law
enforcement activities. And by the way, that's not just talking
about criminal things like money laundering. Their authority is they
can require reports on anything that might help with even
uncovering regulatory violations for civil issues, EPA, Army Corps, what
you name it. There. You can't move a stone in
(32:05):
the United States of America without implicating some sort of regulation.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Well, there is the snail darter. There is the snail darter.
Luke Wake, we just had one segment book for you.
Thank you very much. You guys at Pacific Legal Foundation
do great work. I encourage folks to learn more about them.
Some of you are going to want to support them,
even if it's a little bit per month. We need
folks out there bringing these cases, lawyers committing to advocacy
like this. This is great work.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Thank you, Luke, Thank you so much, have a wonderful days,
regular thank you and good night,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loud, So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We have had a lot of news this week. In
a lot of developments for the Trump White House. The
last known living American hostage in Gaza is set to
be released, progress on trade with China, this ceasefire between
India and Pakistan, and now possible face to face talks
between Zelenski and Kutin for the first time since Russia
invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
To win with every single facet. We're gonna win so much.
You may even get tired of winning, and you'll say, please, please,
it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. This
is the president. It's too much, And I'll say, no,
it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to
win more. We're gonna win more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of
Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in
our because.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You'd be in jail.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It was a standard line for them. Donald Trump is
a threat to democracy.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
I'm just the opposite.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm the one that fixed our military.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'm the one that knocked out isis.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I'm the one. I did so much. I also took
a bullet.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement. But
the truth is, the movement has never been about me.
It has always been about you.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
It's your movement.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's the biggest movement in the history of our country
by far.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Can't be stocked.
Speaker 8 (01:29):
It can't be stopped. From June fourteenth, a month and
a day from now, President Trump will turn seventy nine.
I go visit my dad almost every day, the Old
Folks Home. There are people there less than seventy nine
who struggle to get to dinner at five o'clock walking
(01:54):
down the hallway. The debilitating effects of age on our memory,
on our bodies, they vary. It is worth noting that
Donald Trump never drank not a drop of alcohol in
his life. His brother Fred died of alcoholism, and Donald
Trump didn't want to do that, opposed to doing drugs
(02:19):
that no doubt affects his physical state. I also believe
that people who retire from a job they hate as
opposed to people who never retire because they loved their
job and work until the day they die. That's Rush Limbaugh.
Those are two very different things. I think Donald Trump
(02:40):
would be a different person today physically, mentally, maybe had
he not won in twenty sixteen. He is like a
guy who's running the eight hundred and he made that
first lap of a sprint, and now he's not nearly
as fast as he was. Maybe that first lap. He's
at full on sprint and he knows I can rest
(03:03):
after I finished that finish line. I truly believe he
is a man on a mission. It's an amazing thing
to see. Yesterday morning I watched as he did a
press conference live with all the positive news, the hostage,
the last hostage released to the United States, who was alive,
the Russia Ukraine cease fire very close, having negotiated the
(03:29):
India Pakistan ceasefire through jd vance, the China teriff deal,
ninety day reprieve in Switzerland. Over the weekend, he hopped
Air Force one, flew to Jeddah, arrives there to a
hero's welcome, does his formal duties. That's exhausting. And this
(03:55):
morning at ten thirty, as I was on the air
at ten thirty three, he began to speak at the
Saudi US investment for him, when did he sleep? He
says he's troubles was sleeping. When did he sleep?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I ask?
Speaker 8 (04:13):
And what's amazing is I've flown to the Middle East,
I've flown to Europe, I've fown to India, went to Japan.
At Christmas, I'd be laid up and groggy. This man,
I mean, it's this is a man who is driven.
There's no doubt about that. He is willing himself and
all the while, some great news back home. The April
(04:37):
inflation numbers are in and they are better than expected.
Fox Business.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
We're coming out a little bit lighter than expected. So
we came in at point two percent month of a month.
The street was looking for point three, So that's actually
better than what the street thought was going.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
To happen here.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Two point three percent is the is the headline number
year every year. The streets estimate was two point four,
so again that's a lighter number than expected.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Zero point two percent.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Core month over month, yes him, it was point three,
again better than expected. Courier over year came in at
two pointy eight percent. That was actually in line.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
So President Trump took off his January twentieth ten days
as president, then February and March, his third full month
is April. We just got the April data back. That's
what these announcements are. We're two weeks into the next month.
It's a rolling delay. Grocery prices saw their largest decline
(05:34):
in almost five years. What does that mean? Grocery prices
have gone back to January of twenty twenty. When Donald
Trump was president in January twenty twenty, you would have
thought him unbeatable because the economy was on fire. However,
(06:00):
George Floyd, the COVID, all the things they unleashed and
we suffered as a result of Gas prices for April
fell for the third month in a row. So take
out January because he doesn't take off us till January twentieth.
You got February, March, and April Ohn. So for all
(06:22):
three months he's president, gas prices dropped, and yet everyone's panicked.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
I can't live under this. It's horrible.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
What's horrible.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
It's just terrible. It's horrible. Things are not good.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
What's not good. Here's what's hard for a lot of
people in the political bubble to understand. Most people don't
watch Fox News, they don't watch CNN, they don't watch MSNBC.
They don't know who all these politicians are, and they
don't care. They're never gonna care. It doesn't make them
(07:00):
lesser human beings. Some of them still vote. You know
what they do know if they can meet their car
payment and their house payment, whether the paycheck they get
is enough to cover the expenses and buy eggs so
the family can have breakfast. By those metrics, Donald Trump
is winning. But the average person isn't getting that information
(07:25):
from ABCCBS, the local newspaper because those people hate Trump.
And that's where we are. That's where we are. Things
are getting better by the day in this country. It's
important that we tell that story because it happens to
be true.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast if you dare.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
What if and I'm sure this wouldn't be the case,
but what if there were a lot of blacks and
white liberals who hate people. What if the death and
destruction of white people was not only acceptable but desirable?
(08:09):
That wouldn't happen. We know that wouldn't happen. It can't happen.
There's no way it would happen. But what if it did?
How far would it go before people were comfortable talking
about it in public? Because there's no way it would happen, right, Well,
it's happening in South Africa. In South Africa, there's video
(08:31):
after video of people like Julius Malamo, South African politician
who's the founder and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters.
Sounds like a nice enough group, huh. It's a far
left political party known for the red berets and military
style outfits warned by their members. South African President Malama
(08:52):
is a controversial and divisive figure in South African politics.
He has been favorably described by Zuma as the future
leader of South Africa. He spoke out against the white
genocide conspiracy theory and was critical of comments made by
President Trump, claiming it was quote absolute rubbish to say
(09:15):
there's white genocide.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
And then there's this.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Must never be scared to kill and revolution de mind
that at some point that must be killing because the
killing is part of a evolutionary act.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Wait, hold on it. So the guy says it is
absolute rubbish to say there's white genocide. He's saying that
Trump is saying absolute rubbish. And then we have him
saying there has to be killing because the killing is
part of this. We got them in chance in a moment,
(09:58):
white men, you must die. They chant, shoot to kill,
kill the farmer, kill the boar. The bore Boer are
white South Africans who've been there for years, who are
of Dutch lineage. The amazing thing is just like we
(10:21):
saw when Edy, I mean drove the Indians out. What's
going to happen is a complete and utter collapse of
the South African economy. It would happen anywhere when you
drive the people in charge of the means of production,
with the expertise, the experience, the capital, the decision making,
(10:41):
the relationships, when you drive them out, you can't replace
them overnight. You can say I want black empowerment all
day long, but you can't simply put someone into a
position who's never held that position across the ECONO me
and assume things are gonna go well because they're not.
(11:07):
Because they're not. Let's finish with Julius Malema. I don't
know what's going to opinion in the future.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
I'm saying to you with not called for the killing
of white people, at least for now, I can't guarantee
the future.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that, especially as it
gets shared on Twitter, they freak out.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
It sounds like a genocide.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
So that's good enough. So let's go now to the
South African blacks calling in a chant for a white man.
You must die, white man, you must die.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Not just this.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Man, white man, you must die. Almost seems like, well,
I don't know. So then let's go to see a
n How are they handling this because Trump brought forty
six South African whites here under the refugee program. These
are real refugees. They will be killed. This isn't people
(12:08):
looking for a better life. They will be killed. CNN's
Ashley Anderson. The most dangerous dangerous political and media figure
is the white liberal woman, followed closely by the angry
black woman. She's not actually liberal because their politics are
(12:30):
not philosophical. They are an angry anti politics. But she
and the white liberal woman can get along as long
as they're hating Trump and you and me. Eventually, eventually
she will she will end the white liberal woman. But
for now she finds her useful and they find common ground.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Okay, So, if you think about the history of South
Africa being a aernopartheid system where I think it is
eighty percent of the population that are Black Africans only
owned four percent of the land. That is because they
were put in chanty towns and moved into areas where
(13:13):
they had no rights. And so thirty five thirty plus
years ago they went through a the Partheise system ended
and they reformed their constitution under the great leader of
Nelson Mandela, and that allowed for a racial reconciliation, one
that this country has.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Yet to do. There we go stop there. The slaughter
of white people, the wholesale takeover by black people, is
not racial reconciliation. This is the fantasy of every angry
white liberal, an angry black activists. We will take over.
(14:00):
He will kill the whites and drive them from the lands,
and we will have all the wealth, and we will
have all the power, and they will be reduced to
tears and rubble. Make no mistake, that's what they're calling for.
That's what they are calling for. That's the mentality you
saw after George Floyd. That's the mentality when cops are killed.
(14:24):
That's the mentality when black activists show up after a
black father who got it's got to be horrible. His
son was shot and killed as he was committing a
felony by a cop. Okay, that's a horrible I don't
wish for anybody to have to bury their own kid.
But he was in the middle of the commission of
a felony and then he drove his car to kill
a cop. As a result, he's being made out to
(14:47):
be a hero by this black group that show up
with long guns into public buildings to menace and intimidate.
Most Americans, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, immigrant native born just
want to live their lives. But make no mistake, it
is these white liberals in media and politics and the
(15:10):
small percentage of angry black politicians who are using and
stoking this fear and anger because they have feistic, fetishistic
fantasies of a race war.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast, is Sexy Be Sexy?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
An interesting thing has happened. President Trump or his Department
of Homeland Security is terminating the protected status for Afghanistan refugees.
Here is MSNBC with their.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
Report breaking news, and it is yet another immigration related news.
The DHS saying it will terminate temporary protected status for
Afghanistan effective two months from today.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Well, it's you know, temporary protect to status affects hundreds
of thousands of immigrants in this country, and for a
while now, since taking office, the Trump administration has tried
to present temporary protective status for a wide range of people,
even asking the Supreme Court several weeks ago to allow
for the revocation of temporary protective status for certain countries
including Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Well, now the administration says
(16:22):
that it is provoking temporary protected status for Afghans, and
that is of course significant, has the potential to affect
very a lot of Afghans, and it's already receiving criticism
from some of those groups that evacuate Afghan citizen. I
just received a statement from one who says the decision
to terminate TPS for Afghanistan is not rooted in reality,
(16:43):
it's rooted in politics, and then essentially amounts to a
betrayal of Afghan citizens who helped the United States and
that afghan is still under the rule of the Taliban.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
So here's what happens when you involve yourself in foreign
wars Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, a number of others. You put
yourself in a situation where you desperately need support from
(17:15):
the locals or your service members. Those service members, and
this is completely understandable, want to protect the people who
helped save their lives while they were there, so there
is an emotional plea can we bring them back here?
The problem is some of them are not good guys,
(17:36):
and some people claim to be people who helped our
service members, but it's an imperfect process. In fact, they're
the people who were killing our service members. Now they
land on our shores. We have created an environment where
it's not safe and secure. People are not comfortable. Why
would we do this to ourselves? Why would we put
(17:56):
ourselves on edge? We don't release and the snakes into
our home.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Why would we do this?
Speaker 8 (18:04):
There's no reason for it. Well, I have said for
some time that London was my favorite city in the
world to visit, but not in its current state as
the Caliphate and the rise of radical Islam in England
has reached such a critical mass that I have feared
(18:24):
there was no chance of it ever coming back. Just
like an addict must reach rock bottom before they are
ready to turn it all around, and can't do it.
Short of that, they can make excuses. Something interesting is
happening the United Kingdom's Prime Minister Keir Stormer is saying
(18:45):
something he's never said before, that his country needs to
take back its borders. It feels like a land full
of strangers, an island of strangers. Yes, that's what happens
when you balkanize your country. You see, the United States
will always known as a melting pot. But if you
have too many disparate groups coming in in large clumps,
(19:06):
like the Somalis in Mogadishu, Minnesota, for instance, you create
an environment where these people don't integrate. They don't become
American citizens. They live in Mogadishu, but in the State
of Many At Minnesota they elect one of their own,
ilhan Omar, who speaks of the hatred for this country
(19:28):
and her love of Somalia, and that she represents Somalia,
not the people here. This right here is a breaking
of the ice. Here Starmer saying this the UK Prime minister,
so first time I recall him ever saying anything like this.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Let me put it this way. Nations depend on rules
phair rules. Sometimes they're written down, often they're not, but
either way they give shape to our values, guide us
towards our rights, of course, but also our responsibilities. The
(20:04):
obligations we owe to each other now in a diverse
nation like ours, and I celebrate that these rules become
even more important. Without them, we risk becoming an island
of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. So
(20:25):
when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed
to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in
lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people,
or simply one that is sold by politicians to the
British people on an entirely false premise, then you're not
(20:46):
championing growth, you're not championing justice or how or else
people defend the status quo. You're actually contributing to the
forces that are slowly pulling our country apart. So yes,
I believe in this. I believe we need to reduce
immigration significantly. That's why some of the policies in this
(21:11):
white paper go back nearly three years, why I told
the Labor Party conference taking back control is a Labor argument,
and why most importantly of all, inward migration is already
falling with this government.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
The issue of the movement of people across borders and
how it affects countries. You know, we have had a
significant problem with illegal immigration into the United States through Texas,
in California and Arizona. But I want to be very clear,
(21:51):
migration in and of itself is not a bad thing.
The great migrations across Europe the American continent gave shape
and form to some of what we love. I will
tell you that from Germans coming to Texas to Kunasis
(22:15):
coming west out of Louisiana. Two Mexicans who came into
Texas before Texas was an independent state and certainly before
it was part of the United States, gave a culture
to the state. And those people's descendants today are the
proudest Americans you will find serving in law enforcement schools,
(22:39):
military communities, churches. The tenor of that has changed. What
you want as part of a great nation, as part
of a great organization is to draft one new rookie
here and trade for one seasoned veteran that he's clubhouse
(23:01):
maturity there, and keep the culture of your organization year
after year. But when you create wholesale change and you
upend that, people are naturally it's what's going to happen,
going to retain the culture they brought with them, which
is likely at odds with the home host culture. You
(23:26):
want people to add to, not detract from your culture.
You cannot have massive immigration waves and do that. What
was once celebrated our American immigrants has changed, and all
for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
I call him Ritchen Mirchael Berry.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
So you're at the grocery store and you're standing behind somebody,
and the cashier as that person's checking out, says, that'll
be one hundred ninety two and forty eight cents. Okay.
So the person hands them their credit card and they'll say,
get your cell phone number, and they rattle it off,
(24:17):
and I imagine in a sort of George Orwell nineteen
eighty four sort of way, or maybe even a brave
New World Eltis Huxley, the person saying last three sexual partners,
social security number. And when I bring this up to people,
they said, Michael, what are you spassing out about. Everybody's
(24:39):
got your information all the time anyway. Well, that's that's
like saying, why are you upset that someone stole your car?
Everybody's getting their cars. The moment you stop reacting and
protecting and guarding and ensuring your rights are secured. Had
a law school professor, Alan Scott, who taught us the
(25:01):
first week that he who sits on his rights and
does not enforce them loses them.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
And that is true.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Rights are not self enforcing. Privacy, the protection of your
own information is a right, it is a power. It
is important, and we're only going to see worse fraud
than we see today as the bad guys grow more
and more empowered to harvest your information, to sell your information,
(25:30):
to abuse your information. Earlier this month, Pacific Legal Foundation,
a site that I follow, launched a new lawsuit over
the federal government requiring lenders to gather invasive personal information
in cash real estate transactions. Lenders who failed to do so,
even accidentally, face significant penalties and even jail time. Luke
(25:54):
Wake is an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, and
this organization does very good work bringing lawsuits where there
may not otherwise be a plaintiff or on behalf of
a plaintiff to advance a legal cost. This is important stuff. Luke,
welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Hey, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
So you right, Congress cannot shirk its lawmaking responsibilities. By
granting federal agencies a blank check to write laws, Finsen
is now mandating unreasonable collection and reporting of personal information
to the federal government. The agency is claiming a sweeping
power to require reporting unconceivably any consumer transaction simply because
(26:40):
systematic reporting might prove useful to the government. In other words,
give us all your information all the time, because some
of you are committing crimes and you're all innocent until
proven guilty. And besides, we like to know where you
spend your money.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Yeah, it's the I mean, it's the IO souron and
right now, the iosuron is focused on people who are
buying cash real estate deals, and that's very common. If
you accountability to buy without taking out a loan, it
makes a lot of sense to do it. But they're
requiring if you buy a real property residential property in
(27:15):
Texas or anywhere else in the country at this point,
and you're not taking out a loan, they're requiring you
to gather or not you, but your lender, the folks
who are closing working with you to close that deal,
have to gather all sorts of information about you and
and the entity in which you're transferring it to, if
it's going to a trust or if it's going to
an LLC or something like that. And right now it's
(27:38):
just real real estate. But under the authority that they're
relying on to do this rule, they could conceivably require
reporting on any consumer transaction. So that's just an incredibly
assertion of authority. And frankly, if I don't think the
federal government has any business regulating local real estate transactions
at all, but if they're going to have these kinds
(27:59):
of rules, it really should be coming from Congress, not
from an agency.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Luke, we deal with this in so many different ways.
This is a panoply of problems that can be categorized
as the imperial state executive branch creep. This idea that
agencies who are empowered to enforce laws, whether that's regulatory authority,
(28:25):
revenue collection authority, whatever, that may be becoming their own
rule promulgating entity, and unless they are checked with litigation
like this, they don't stop. On what basis do you
argue they lack any authority to do this, Well.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Actually, we don't argue that they lack authority. The problem
here is Congress. Congress gave the Secretary of Treasurer Treasury
and the term of the Secretary of Treasury gave the
sub agency and the Secretary Treasury a blank check to
require according on any transaction they want. So the problem
really is the fact that Congress gave a check blank check.
(29:05):
It said, go write whatever rules you want. And so
that violates under the Constitution what we call the non
delegation doctrine, which is very simple. Congress writes the law
in this country, and Congress cannot just punt and give
away the power to make law to someone else. And
so that's exactly the problem here is Congress has said
(29:25):
you go out and write whatever rules you want, and
that's just not the way law is supposed to be
written in this country. So that's the problem. First and foremost,
it's Congress shirking its responsibility to actually decide what the
law is and to make the hard decisions.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
Well, there is a very disturbing trend of data collection
under the premise that everyone is cheating the irs and
we need to and it's ensnared a lot of people.
The banking regulation that you can't take it if you
take out more than ten thousand dollars the bank becomes
a de fact dough agent of the government. And these
(30:02):
banks are scared to death because they're regulated. So if
someone wants to take out cash to go on a vacation,
it's their cash. By the way, they have to be reported,
and that spooks people. Well, if you take out just
less than that, which we know that that a Speaker
of the House at one point did, then you get caught.
You get caught for structuring, which is attempting to you know, uh,
(30:25):
maneuver against this regulation. And it's making people into criminals
for simply not wanting to be on government databases, and
that's not in and of itself a crime.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well, and you may also be aware that Fennsend which
is of course the sub agency within the Department of
Treasury that that's responsible for the rule we're suing about.
But they recently finalized issued orders requiring reporting, requiring your
banks to report any you know, withdrawal from an ATM
of as little as two hundred dollars within certain counties
(30:58):
in Texas near the border, so it doesn't even necessarily
have to be a large transaction. Their assertion and authority
here is that they can essentially require reporting of any
suspicious transaction and apparently you know what is suspicious that's
in the eye of the beholder. That's a blank check
of power for the agency to require reports on literally anything,
(31:23):
and it doesn't just as noted in our lawsuit, it
doesn't just have to be transactions coming out of your bank.
They have authority to require any business in the United
States to file reports and to follow whatever procedures for
gathering and collecting and reporting information that they think is
(31:44):
going to ultimately be helpful for any sort of law
enforcement activities. And by the way, that's not just talking
about criminal things like money laundering. Their authority is they
can require reports on anything that might help with even
uncovering regulatory violations for civil issues, EPA, Army Corps, what
you name it. There. You can't move a stone in
(32:05):
the United States of America without implicating some sort of regulation.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Well, there is the snail darter. There is the snail darter.
Luke Wake, we just had one segment book for you.
Thank you very much. You guys at Pacific Legal Foundation
do great work. I encourage folks to learn more about them.
Some of you are going to want to support them,
even if it's a little bit per month. We need
folks out there bringing these cases, lawyers committing to advocacy
like this. This is great work.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Thank you, Luke, Thank you so much, have a wonderful days,
regular thank you and good night,
