Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Has a guy who spent thirty four years deporting illegal Alians.
I got a message to the demands of illegal Alians
that Joe Biden's released in our country and violation of
federal law.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You better start pack and now you're damn right because
you are going home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We have seen one estimate that says it would cost
eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
People a year. I don't know if it's accurate or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What price you put on a national security? Is that
worth it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And I want to send a message to everybody who's
in this country illegally. While you've heard from Kamala Harris
that she's going to give you free Medicare benefits and
free healthcare benefits, She's going to give you free housing
benefits paid for by American taxpayers. Donald Trump's gonna win
the White House. We all believe that, right. So our
(01:40):
message to illegal aliens who are in this country without
the consent of the American people. Is you got four
months pack your backs because you're going home.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
If you drive by a tragic accident, most people rubber neck.
Most people slow down, causing people behind them to slow down.
No one wants to admit that they slow down for
the sole purpose of watching it. And you know that
because even if on the other side of the highway,
they still slow down and they feel better about themselves
(02:42):
by saying, oh, that's so sad, it's so sad. But
there is a very selfish, not noble desire to see
what happened. We're nosy, we're not bad, but it's it's
not our at this moment either. It's not out of
concern that we stare that emotion, giving in to that,
(03:09):
indulging that vice is what leads to When there is
a school shooting, people will rush to the television and
I invariably get emails. How can you not talk about
the shooting because I don't talk about shootings, I don't
talk about mass disasters. You should be because it's a Muslim,
(03:30):
should be because it's a liberal. You should be because
this is what no This is why you lose the
trust and respect of your neighbors. But you don't realize
is there lots of people out there with keyboards in
an Internet connection and they're posting things like Trump ordered
the shooting, or Biden ordered the shooting, or this guy
(03:55):
was this or this guy was that. But if you're
a local TV news station or national network for that matter,
this is how you get people to watch. It's not
that you're putting on meaningful, substantive content. It's that people
want the details, the blood, the gore, the details. News
(04:18):
junkies people call themselves, and they love to know more
than a nice guy. Oh well, I don't know if
you know, but he wore size eight shoes. Oh I
didn't know that. Yeah yeah, yeah he did. He did
he did not, Yeah yeah he did. So you have
the shootings in Minneapolis, and the minute it happened, you
had two competing sites, one saying this is Trump's policies,
(04:42):
this is what they lead to, this is the Trump era.
People are gonna end up killed. This is all Donald Trump,
Donald Trump's faulk. Then you had the other folks saying,
this guy was a Tim Waltz appointee to a commission.
Here's the appointment, here's the certificate. I guess in one sense,
(05:02):
you go, well, you got to do that because you've
got to combat what the left does, and that's fine.
Both sides are free to do it. That's not the
show we do, it won't ever be the show we do.
I'm not going to speak about what happened in Minnesota
with four folks, two couples, all four shot, two of
(05:24):
them dead until we have more information, because how am
I going to draw conclusions based on primary information that
is shifting by the minute. Do I believe that there
will be an attempt to skew this story to be
anti Trump one way or another, no matter how they
(05:44):
do it. Yes, yes I do. But I don't think
we should encourage people to rush to get news when
most primary news reporters are leftists number one in number two.
When we do get a primary news reporters, say Fox News,
send somebody there and they report, or you report on
(06:05):
some blogger, you find out that that guy has a
habit of making up stories and thinking he's doing good,
and then good natured people run around quoting what he
just said and it turns out it's not true. It's
just not true. Harris County has finally canceled the cash
(06:29):
handout program for Democrats that they called Uplift Harris a
guaranteed income program. This is again part of Rodney Ellis's plan.
He's tied in with the LA and New York and
everything in between, Soro's crowd, and they bring these programs
to communities, and there's lots of reason there's money to
(06:52):
be made administering the programs. The twenty million dollar program
would have been funded with federal COVID quote unquote relief.
How did you decide to use COVID relief funds for
a guaranteed income program that preceded COVID. The idea that
(07:16):
you would pay people who otherwise don't work so they
would have an income defies human nature. It goes beyond
even economics when you allow lazy people. And that's what
we're talking about. Oh, Michael, don't call them lazy. Some
(07:37):
of them probably got a thiroly problem. They're lazy. There
are people with their legs chopped off finding jobs. There
are people legally blind finding jobs. There are people who
are deaf finding jobs. There are people who can't stand up,
they're morbidly obese finding jobs. There are elderly folks finding jobs.
(07:58):
There are people new to this country who barely, if
at all, speak English finding jobs. You can't tell me
that you can't find a job. Would you like to
make more sure? Are you struggling? Sure? Paying lazy people
to do nothing is feeding the zoo animal. It makes
(08:19):
them dependent on charity, which is exactly what the Democrats
was is. People who care about looking good while doing evil.
The Michael Berry Show, I'm very proud of the King
of Ding who was out early part of the show
this morning. Jim Mudd, superstar backup quarterback, the Gary Hogeboom
(08:42):
of The Michael Berry Show, the Doug Flutie of The
Michael Berry Show, for that matter, the Tom Brady of
The Michael Berry Show. Poor old Drew. He went to
the sideline dying, didn't even know it. Brady comes in
and he never gets his job back. Pretty good sport
about it, I'd say, All in all, though, has Drew
bledsell pretty good sport. Of course, that one hundred million
(09:05):
dollar contract he was playing under probably helped him sleep
at night. Ramon's A one C was eleven point one.
Our audience is old enough that most folks know that
an eleven point one was very bad and through diet,
(09:30):
and I mean focused diet over a period of time.
Every morning, when I walk in, I tap my right
index finger on my left bulging bicep and that means
tell me your number. And as I walk through the
vestibule of our studios into my studio and sit down,
(09:53):
he calls out over the speaker of what his number is,
which is always less than one twenty. It's usually between ninety.
It's always between ninety and one and twenty. And he
maintains that through the entirety of the day. It is incredible.
So when he got his CGM, that was when his
approach to I'm going to take care of my health
(10:15):
by limiting my sugars went from I'm going to do
the best I can, you know, eating soda, getting exercise,
drinking more water, getting more sleep, the things that anybody
can do to take better care of your health. All
of a sudden change, because now the continuous glucose monitor
(10:36):
told him, oh, okay, well I can snack on beef
jerkey and that doesn't spike my blood sugar. What was
one of the things that surprised you Ramon that you
would eat and it would spike your blood. Sugar that
people wouldn't think is milk. Yeah, and that's because there
is sugar in milk. So you learn a lot about
(10:59):
what's in our food by studying your body. When you
study your body as a machine, as an instrument in
how it responds, and you experiment on it. Everybody I've
ever known who I consider to be super healthy, which,
believe it or not, is now ramone kind of off brand,
But it's true. Everybody I know who has been super
(11:20):
healthy is constantly experimenting on themselves. What happens if I
fast once a day instead of twice a day. What
happens if I mix this into my diet? What happens
when I take this out of my diet. Let's check
into the mail bag a number of folks with comments
on paper routes. Terry writes, paper boy, thank you for
(11:43):
helping me return to those wonderful days of my paper route.
This was a small Midwest town, and I delivered to
about one hundred and ten residences in this small town
evening newspaper and always received very good Christmas tips. As
a bonus, I helped with a family business of delivering
milk house to house during the earth morning. The paper
route was my first business ownership responsibility experience. How about that?
(12:08):
And Eddie Martini said, I had a paper route when
I was thirteen, and I also cut about ten yards
in my hood at the same time, and I played
baseball every day. Work ethic and a love of money.
I never delivered pizza, but I got turned onto Dominoes
as a freshman at LSU, and I believe I split
(12:29):
a pizza in my dorm room about three days a week.
My portion came to two dollars and fifty cents. How
about that moment that's back in the day. He's a lot,
he's a lot older than you, So you have to
understand when when somebody's a lot older than you, the
prices will be very different. Indeed, so the Universal Basic
(12:49):
Income Program uplift Harris is dead for now. The story
from KPRC TV clip number two.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, I had already lined up when I had a
studio apartment, and it would have helped out with some
basic bills, groceries. It's really not a lot of money,
but it's something, and it was for eighteen months, and yes,
I could have used.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It, So you could have got ahead.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, I could have got a hit, and maybe some
other things happened. I'm still an optimist. I can't say
how I helped because I never got the money.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Now, this morning, Commissioner Rodney Ellis and County Attorney Christian
Minifie spoke out about the decision to end the program
that's now renamed the Harris County Community Prosperity Program. It
was intended to support more than fifteen hundred families living
in poverty with flexible financial assistance. Commissioner's Court voted Thursday
to reallocate the remaining twenty million dollars to rental assistance,
(14:00):
homelessness services, and food and nutrition programs.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Attorney General Paxton mislaied the public and politicized this program
to serve his own personal agenda over needs of working families.
The state, on a regular basis has given out corporate
giveaways for decades in both parties, no matter who the
governor was, for very little if any benefits to the
(14:28):
taxpayers of Texas.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But only this program was challenged. So let's go back
to the beginning of the story. This man was really excited.
He was going to get a new apartment.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Isn't that right, will, Yes, I was. I was really
happy about getting my new apartment. And yet you're not
going to get your apartment. Now, how do you feel? Well,
I was really happy I was going to get at
that apartment. You know, I think it was gonna help
(15:04):
me out. You know, I was really gonna, you know,
live a better life.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know, Well, it is really sad you're not gonna
have your apartment, isn't it? It is? It is. I
don't know how I would have felt. You know, I
can't say how I would have felt because I never
got my free apartment. But if I got my free apartment,
I'd be able to tell you how I feel. But
I bet I would have felt happy. Well, who wouldn't
(15:30):
be happy if you just handed them cash? Guarantee you
that guy's a reliable Democrat voter. In fact, I'll bet
you that guy was not randomly chosen. I'll even bet
you none of the people were randomly chosen. This is
(15:55):
the use of cash giveaways for those who are loyal.
And let me tell you something, Rodney is the most
powerful local official I have seen in my lifetime. This
is Richard Dallett as mayor of the City of Chicago
kind of stuff. And he's he's a commissioner who's wielding
(16:17):
this power, soft power in this way. It's impressive. I'm
Gila Andrelee the Michael Verry Show. You merely adopted the doc.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I was watering, dropped and called my friend Launce Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
He John Carolyn and Andy mcneee are at main Street
Wealth Management in Town and Country, a part of the
Stifel company STI F E. L And I was asking
how the market was doing it so with the markets
up this morning, and he was sharing some year to
date numbers. Nasdaq is up half of p P, the
(17:01):
S and P five hundred is up one point sixty
two percent. Dal Jones Industrials is down point eight one percent,
four fifths of one percent. Bitcoin for the year is
up thirteen point one five percent, and oil and all
that that entails is up two point nine six percent,
(17:26):
almost three percent at seventy three dollars and eighty four cents.
Interesting times, indeed, very very interesting times. Indeed, Governor Abbott
has signed the bill directing the state to invest fifty
(17:46):
million dollars to fund clinical trials for IBA gain that
is the natural route that number of veterans and addicts
are attesting it changed their lives. I first heard about
(18:08):
I Begain from Marcus Attrel a couple of years ago.
He had gone down to Mexico to undergo the treatment,
and his wife, Melanie told me afterwards. She said, it
is amazing what this treatment does for PTSD, for addiction,
for mental locks, sort of obsessive mental locks like addiction, PTSD,
(18:35):
and the assertion. Marcus is not a doctor, although he
was a trained medic and he was the medic in
his group in the Lone Survivor episode. If you've seen that,
he does have medical training within the United States Navy
and the kind of training that helps you when you've
been shot to survive and help others survive. And his
(18:56):
wife said to me at the time, she said, this
is an amazing, amazing treatment. We went to see what
it was all about, and she said's absolutely incredible. But
it's not for the faint of heart. It's it's disruptive.
It's a ten to twelve hour psychedelic trip because what
it's claiming to do is rewire your mind and reset
(19:22):
your mind. And you know, people say it was an
awful experience. I laid there you know, you know the
old dream that you had as a kid, maybe still,
but I had it as a kid where you're being
chased and you can't run. Mine was my brothers and
(19:43):
I were being chased and there were wooden Indians who
had wheels instead of legs, which, if you think about it,
it's pretty traumatic because they were a lot faster, much
faster than you know ambulation, and I could not outrun them,
and it was a it was an undulating terrain. Somehow
(20:06):
I managed to wake up each time before the bad
would happen. But it was a scary dream. I've heard
a number of different versions of a bad thing is
happening and you're not able to do anything about it. Well,
this IBA gain apparently creates a momentary, temporary paralysis, and
(20:29):
that experience is similar to that. Now, what would you
be willing to do to change you know, fifth whiskey,
a day addiction, or a heroin addiction, or debilitating suicide
inducing PTSD. So that's that's the claim. The bill that
(20:54):
was signed funds clinical trials for IBA game. State Representative
Brian Harrison is saying, quote, the same legislature that banned
him and banned vapes voted to force you to pay
to study psychedelics. Hypocrisy. He goes on to say, I'm
(21:16):
okay studying this stuff, but not by raising taxes. Amber
Capone with Veterans exploring treatment solutions, was on kx A
n TV about how I Begain helped her veteran husband's PTSD.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
That my husband was struggling after thirteen years of service
in the Sealed Teams, and as truly elastic Jeffert I
arranged for him to leave the United States to go
to Mexico for this intervention that we attribute to saving
his life and saving our family, and immediately he wanted
to pay it forward to his former teammates. To date,
we've provided funding for over a thousand other veterans to
leave the country that they were willing to die for
(21:58):
in order to receive this life saving and life transforming treatment.
So we realize we'll never be able to get ahead
of the need without advocacy and policy change. And of
course Texas stepped up to take to take care of
its veterans yet again.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So I don't know the answer. I certainly don't see
a problem investing in clinical trials for something that has
the potential to save so many lives. We are in
a state, We are in a condition I don't mean
(22:38):
state in terms of fifty states where we're We've sent
men off to war and they come home and we
don't provide them the treatment they need. Proofs in the putting,
we're seeing suicide rates and twenty men died in Vietnam.
We've lost multiples of that to suicide when they came home.
(23:00):
This latest Netflix special on Vietnam, Sure it has a
political bent, there's no doubt about that. But when you
see what those guys went through, anyone who's ever been
exposed to trauma, what that does to the brain, and
(23:23):
repeatedly exposing the young brain to trauma on this level,
they don't have the coping techniques and in many cases
they never do. And to me, that is as awful
as you can get. Don't go to war if you're
(23:44):
not prepared to take care of the warrior before, during,
and after that war. There is a raging debate almost
exclusively among those on the right, Conservatives, Republicans, neo cons libertarians.
Maga as relates to Iran and Israel. A lot of
(24:11):
people want to make this a very simple question in
order to choose you. That it's called a hobsey in
choice in order to make you choose one or the other.
Either you're with Israel or you're with Iran. And it's
not that simple. But I would argue that this debate,
rancorous as it is, is very healthy.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You want just to say the word and I'll draw
apole around, plug down.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
More. Bobby Caldwell pread for money. Well done, sir, well done?
What you want to friend of mine, a marine, sent
me an email this morning. Because I follow a lot
of health and wellness sites, I talk to a lot
of doctors, I read, I think, I engage. I don't
(25:05):
think I'm any smarter than the next guy when it
comes to health and wellness. But I also don't think
that because you have an MD, certainly not a PhD
or some other degree, that your opinion should go unchallenged.
That's how you end up taking a COVID shot, That's
how you end up bleeding out a wound with leeches,
(25:26):
because that's what's done at that time. So my friend
sends me a message this morning, Czar, I had my
first ever colonoscopy scheduled for July twenty second. He's a veteran.
As I told you, the VA is farming it out
to a doctor and he gives name the doctor, and
here's the center and where it's located. I told the
(25:50):
physicians assistant that the blood in my stool from the
colon guard test was from hemorrhoids. So all right, So,
for those of you who don't know, prostate cancer is
the breast cancer of men. One in four women statistically
get breast cancer. If you can identify it early, you
(26:11):
got a good chance of beating it. Prostate cancer, there's
a very good chance a man's going to get it
if you can identify it early. But technology has allowed
us to improve detection. And the technology is not a
doctor sticking their finger in your butthole. And the reason
(26:33):
this is important is that is a much more invasive process.
First of all, most men don't want anything going in
their buttthole. They want stuff going out. And there are
a thousand jokes about you know, his finger was too big,
Well that wasn't my finger. Every kind of gay joke
out there. Don't enjoy it, you know. Okay, those are
(26:56):
established jokes only because that is a real legitimate fear.
But let's leave the fear aside, Michael Savage used to
refer himself as a doctor. May still he's not a
medical doctor, he's a PhD. But I do like the
fact that he was always willing to challenge medical orthodoxy
(27:17):
in much the same way that RFK is. My mother,
God bless her, believed that doctors knew everything they were
the doctor. She was one of those people who would say,
as many people, do you know my doctor says, I
have to do this? Really because your doctor's eighty pounds overweight,
couldn't walk up set of stairs, and hasn't read a
(27:39):
study or updated his knowledge on medicine since he graduated
med school thirty five years ago. But sure, do what
your doctor says, because he's a doctor. So my friend
in this case has had so the color guard is
you simply put some stool, some poop on a plastic
(27:59):
shite and it's like a flycatcher. You mail it. They
do a test. Now, if the test says we don't
detect anything wrong, you move on down the road, and
depending on your marker risks for the likelihood you're going
to get prostate cancer, you test it once a year,
once every five years. There's a protocol for how often
(28:22):
you do this, But it's very simple. Your pooping already,
just put a little pool on a paper boom, run
it to the lab. All right. Lab testing has increased.
I mean, the greatest medical advancement, in my opinion, in
the last fifty years, has nothing to do with doctor
applied medicine. It has to do with technology, pieces of equipment.
(28:43):
What Jeff Witzett can do for your eyes if you're
older and can't see well using equipment. Now he has
to apply it, he has to do it, but using
equipment that he has in technologies that have improved. It's
amazing the number of tests we can do now with
just your blood, or the number of tests we can
do to see what's going on inside your body without
(29:05):
opening your body up because surgery is invasive. Those are
great advancements, incredible investments. So color guard, in my opinion,
is one of the great advancements. We don't need to
be doing all these colonoscopies. Michael Savage told the story.
I believe it is his brother who while they're in
(29:25):
there doing the colonoscopy, if they tear the lining of
your rectum, that is an area that can get septic
very quickly, and then you've got your internals right there.
That can be deadly. The number of people who die
or have a severe life altering experience medical experience from
(29:50):
a colonoscopy gone wrong, which is very easy to do,
is more than you would believe. The number of people
who go into a hospital relatively healthy but need a
medical procedure and never emerge due to medical error due
to infection is so high that if people knew it,
they'd probably never have a surgery. Surgery is not something
(30:12):
to do. Lightly. Penetrating the internal portion of the body
from whatever direction is a dangerous thing. You can nick
things and it can go wrong real fast. All right.
So back to my buddy. So he had blood and
he said that was from having hemorrhoids on April fifteenth.
(30:35):
So he sent me an email on April fifteenth the
morning up, I want to do intermittent fasting, and I said,
I love it, I'm all for it, and he did.
He said on April fifteenth that you remember I started
intermittent fasting and I cut out all the simple carbs,
all the refined stuff. My inflammation has completely gone away,
and so have the piles. I suggested another cold guard
(30:58):
test to the doctor to see if I have solved
the problem before we do a kolonosky. She suggested a colonoscopy.
She's a hammer, so everything's a nail. I prefer the
less invasive poopscoop COLI guard test. Seems like colonoscopies are
a bit invasive and the prep and recovery both are horrible. Anyway,
pray for my poor little butthole. Congrats to Ramone on
(31:19):
his new A one C numbers. That's what inspired me
to send you this message. That is truly wonderful, and
I'm proud of Ramon. So my answer to him, which
we might answer to you, is you have agency over
your own health. Stop waiting on doctors to solve your problems.
Stop rolling into the doctor's office one hundred pounds overweight,
trashing your body and going, how am I doing? Dot?
(31:40):
What pill can you give me? What surgery can you do?
You have agency over your own health. You want to
be unhealthy, that's fine. You don't want to take a test.
All your readings suggests you don't need to do this
particular thing. Look, doctors have mortgages too. Nobody goes to
the car dealership and goes home and says, yeah, I
bought this car. The salesman said, I had to. You
buy there because you want to buy it. You make
(32:03):
medical decisions because you believe that's right. Stop thinking that
doctors are gods, because they're not. I mean, God bless them.
They're important, but like everybody else, they got mortgages.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Has a guy who spent thirty four years deporting illegal Alians.
I got a message to the demands of illegal Alians
that Joe Biden's released in our country and violation of
federal law.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You better start pack and now you're damn right because
you are going home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We have seen one estimate that says it would cost
eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
People a year. I don't know if it's accurate or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What price you put on a national security? Is that
worth it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And I want to send a message to everybody who's
in this country illegally. While you've heard from Kamala Harris
that she's going to give you free Medicare benefits and
free healthcare benefits, She's going to give you free housing
benefits paid for by American taxpayers. Donald Trump's gonna win
the White House. We all believe that, right. So our
(01:40):
message to illegal aliens who are in this country without
the consent of the American people. Is you got four
months pack your backs because you're going home.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
If you drive by a tragic accident, most people rubber neck.
Most people slow down, causing people behind them to slow down.
No one wants to admit that they slow down for
the sole purpose of watching it. And you know that
because even if on the other side of the highway,
they still slow down and they feel better about themselves
(02:42):
by saying, oh, that's so sad, it's so sad. But
there is a very selfish, not noble desire to see
what happened. We're nosy, we're not bad, but it's it's
not our at this moment either. It's not out of
concern that we stare that emotion, giving in to that,
(03:09):
indulging that vice is what leads to When there is
a school shooting, people will rush to the television and
I invariably get emails. How can you not talk about
the shooting because I don't talk about shootings, I don't
talk about mass disasters. You should be because it's a Muslim,
(03:30):
should be because it's a liberal. You should be because
this is what no This is why you lose the
trust and respect of your neighbors. But you don't realize
is there lots of people out there with keyboards in
an Internet connection and they're posting things like Trump ordered
the shooting, or Biden ordered the shooting, or this guy
(03:55):
was this or this guy was that. But if you're
a local TV news station or national network for that matter,
this is how you get people to watch. It's not
that you're putting on meaningful, substantive content. It's that people
want the details, the blood, the gore, the details. News
(04:18):
junkies people call themselves, and they love to know more
than a nice guy. Oh well, I don't know if
you know, but he wore size eight shoes. Oh I
didn't know that. Yeah yeah, yeah he did. He did
he did not, Yeah yeah he did. So you have
the shootings in Minneapolis, and the minute it happened, you
had two competing sites, one saying this is Trump's policies,
(04:42):
this is what they lead to, this is the Trump era.
People are gonna end up killed. This is all Donald Trump,
Donald Trump's faulk. Then you had the other folks saying,
this guy was a Tim Waltz appointee to a commission.
Here's the appointment, here's the certificate. I guess in one sense,
(05:02):
you go, well, you got to do that because you've
got to combat what the left does, and that's fine.
Both sides are free to do it. That's not the
show we do, it won't ever be the show we do.
I'm not going to speak about what happened in Minnesota
with four folks, two couples, all four shot, two of
(05:24):
them dead until we have more information, because how am
I going to draw conclusions based on primary information that
is shifting by the minute. Do I believe that there
will be an attempt to skew this story to be
anti Trump one way or another, no matter how they
(05:44):
do it. Yes, yes I do. But I don't think
we should encourage people to rush to get news when
most primary news reporters are leftists number one in number two.
When we do get a primary news reporters, say Fox News,
send somebody there and they report, or you report on
(06:05):
some blogger, you find out that that guy has a
habit of making up stories and thinking he's doing good,
and then good natured people run around quoting what he
just said and it turns out it's not true. It's
just not true. Harris County has finally canceled the cash
(06:29):
handout program for Democrats that they called Uplift Harris a
guaranteed income program. This is again part of Rodney Ellis's plan.
He's tied in with the LA and New York and
everything in between, Soro's crowd, and they bring these programs
to communities, and there's lots of reason there's money to
(06:52):
be made administering the programs. The twenty million dollar program
would have been funded with federal COVID quote unquote relief.
How did you decide to use COVID relief funds for
a guaranteed income program that preceded COVID. The idea that
(07:16):
you would pay people who otherwise don't work so they
would have an income defies human nature. It goes beyond
even economics when you allow lazy people. And that's what
we're talking about. Oh, Michael, don't call them lazy. Some
(07:37):
of them probably got a thiroly problem. They're lazy. There
are people with their legs chopped off finding jobs. There
are people legally blind finding jobs. There are people who
are deaf finding jobs. There are people who can't stand up,
they're morbidly obese finding jobs. There are elderly folks finding jobs.
(07:58):
There are people new to this country who barely, if
at all, speak English finding jobs. You can't tell me
that you can't find a job. Would you like to
make more sure? Are you struggling? Sure? Paying lazy people
to do nothing is feeding the zoo animal. It makes
(08:19):
them dependent on charity, which is exactly what the Democrats
was is. People who care about looking good while doing evil.
The Michael Berry Show, I'm very proud of the King
of Ding who was out early part of the show
this morning. Jim Mudd, superstar backup quarterback, the Gary Hogeboom
(08:42):
of The Michael Berry Show, the Doug Flutie of The
Michael Berry Show, for that matter, the Tom Brady of
The Michael Berry Show. Poor old Drew. He went to
the sideline dying, didn't even know it. Brady comes in
and he never gets his job back. Pretty good sport
about it, I'd say, All in all, though, has Drew
bledsell pretty good sport. Of course, that one hundred million
(09:05):
dollar contract he was playing under probably helped him sleep
at night. Ramon's A one C was eleven point one.
Our audience is old enough that most folks know that
an eleven point one was very bad and through diet,
(09:30):
and I mean focused diet over a period of time.
Every morning, when I walk in, I tap my right
index finger on my left bulging bicep and that means
tell me your number. And as I walk through the
vestibule of our studios into my studio and sit down,
(09:53):
he calls out over the speaker of what his number is,
which is always less than one twenty. It's usually between ninety.
It's always between ninety and one and twenty. And he
maintains that through the entirety of the day. It is incredible.
So when he got his CGM, that was when his
approach to I'm going to take care of my health
(10:15):
by limiting my sugars went from I'm going to do
the best I can, you know, eating soda, getting exercise,
drinking more water, getting more sleep, the things that anybody
can do to take better care of your health. All
of a sudden change, because now the continuous glucose monitor
(10:36):
told him, oh, okay, well I can snack on beef
jerkey and that doesn't spike my blood sugar. What was
one of the things that surprised you Ramon that you
would eat and it would spike your blood. Sugar that
people wouldn't think is milk. Yeah, and that's because there
is sugar in milk. So you learn a lot about
(10:59):
what's in our food by studying your body. When you
study your body as a machine, as an instrument in
how it responds, and you experiment on it. Everybody I've
ever known who I consider to be super healthy, which,
believe it or not, is now ramone kind of off brand,
But it's true. Everybody I know who has been super
(11:20):
healthy is constantly experimenting on themselves. What happens if I
fast once a day instead of twice a day. What
happens if I mix this into my diet? What happens
when I take this out of my diet. Let's check
into the mail bag a number of folks with comments
on paper routes. Terry writes, paper boy, thank you for
(11:43):
helping me return to those wonderful days of my paper route.
This was a small Midwest town, and I delivered to
about one hundred and ten residences in this small town
evening newspaper and always received very good Christmas tips. As
a bonus, I helped with a family business of delivering
milk house to house during the earth morning. The paper
route was my first business ownership responsibility experience. How about that?
(12:08):
And Eddie Martini said, I had a paper route when
I was thirteen, and I also cut about ten yards
in my hood at the same time, and I played
baseball every day. Work ethic and a love of money.
I never delivered pizza, but I got turned onto Dominoes
as a freshman at LSU, and I believe I split
(12:29):
a pizza in my dorm room about three days a week.
My portion came to two dollars and fifty cents. How
about that moment that's back in the day. He's a lot,
he's a lot older than you, So you have to
understand when when somebody's a lot older than you, the
prices will be very different. Indeed, so the Universal Basic
(12:49):
Income Program uplift Harris is dead for now. The story
from KPRC TV clip number two.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, I had already lined up when I had a
studio apartment, and it would have helped out with some
basic bills, groceries. It's really not a lot of money,
but it's something, and it was for eighteen months, and yes,
I could have used.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It, So you could have got ahead.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, I could have got a hit, and maybe some
other things happened. I'm still an optimist. I can't say
how I helped because I never got the money.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Now, this morning, Commissioner Rodney Ellis and County Attorney Christian
Minifie spoke out about the decision to end the program
that's now renamed the Harris County Community Prosperity Program. It
was intended to support more than fifteen hundred families living
in poverty with flexible financial assistance. Commissioner's Court voted Thursday
to reallocate the remaining twenty million dollars to rental assistance,
(14:00):
homelessness services, and food and nutrition programs.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Attorney General Paxton mislaied the public and politicized this program
to serve his own personal agenda over needs of working families.
The state, on a regular basis has given out corporate
giveaways for decades in both parties, no matter who the
governor was, for very little if any benefits to the
(14:28):
taxpayers of Texas.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But only this program was challenged. So let's go back
to the beginning of the story. This man was really excited.
He was going to get a new apartment.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Isn't that right, will, Yes, I was. I was really
happy about getting my new apartment. And yet you're not
going to get your apartment. Now, how do you feel? Well,
I was really happy I was going to get at
that apartment. You know, I think it was gonna help
(15:04):
me out. You know, I was really gonna, you know,
live a better life.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know, Well, it is really sad you're not gonna
have your apartment, isn't it? It is? It is. I
don't know how I would have felt. You know, I
can't say how I would have felt because I never
got my free apartment. But if I got my free apartment,
I'd be able to tell you how I feel. But
I bet I would have felt happy. Well, who wouldn't
(15:30):
be happy if you just handed them cash? Guarantee you
that guy's a reliable Democrat voter. In fact, I'll bet
you that guy was not randomly chosen. I'll even bet
you none of the people were randomly chosen. This is
(15:55):
the use of cash giveaways for those who are loyal.
And let me tell you something, Rodney is the most
powerful local official I have seen in my lifetime. This
is Richard Dallett as mayor of the City of Chicago
kind of stuff. And he's he's a commissioner who's wielding
(16:17):
this power, soft power in this way. It's impressive. I'm
Gila Andrelee the Michael Verry Show. You merely adopted the doc.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I was watering, dropped and called my friend Launce Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
He John Carolyn and Andy mcneee are at main Street
Wealth Management in Town and Country, a part of the
Stifel company STI F E. L And I was asking
how the market was doing it so with the markets
up this morning, and he was sharing some year to
date numbers. Nasdaq is up half of p P, the
(17:01):
S and P five hundred is up one point sixty
two percent. Dal Jones Industrials is down point eight one percent,
four fifths of one percent. Bitcoin for the year is
up thirteen point one five percent, and oil and all
that that entails is up two point nine six percent,
(17:26):
almost three percent at seventy three dollars and eighty four cents.
Interesting times, indeed, very very interesting times. Indeed, Governor Abbott
has signed the bill directing the state to invest fifty
(17:46):
million dollars to fund clinical trials for IBA gain that
is the natural route that number of veterans and addicts
are attesting it changed their lives. I first heard about
(18:08):
I Begain from Marcus Attrel a couple of years ago.
He had gone down to Mexico to undergo the treatment,
and his wife, Melanie told me afterwards. She said, it
is amazing what this treatment does for PTSD, for addiction,
for mental locks, sort of obsessive mental locks like addiction, PTSD,
(18:35):
and the assertion. Marcus is not a doctor, although he
was a trained medic and he was the medic in
his group in the Lone Survivor episode. If you've seen that,
he does have medical training within the United States Navy
and the kind of training that helps you when you've
been shot to survive and help others survive. And his
(18:56):
wife said to me at the time, she said, this
is an amazing, amazing treatment. We went to see what
it was all about, and she said's absolutely incredible. But
it's not for the faint of heart. It's it's disruptive.
It's a ten to twelve hour psychedelic trip because what
it's claiming to do is rewire your mind and reset
(19:22):
your mind. And you know, people say it was an
awful experience. I laid there you know, you know the
old dream that you had as a kid, maybe still,
but I had it as a kid where you're being
chased and you can't run. Mine was my brothers and
(19:43):
I were being chased and there were wooden Indians who
had wheels instead of legs, which, if you think about it,
it's pretty traumatic because they were a lot faster, much
faster than you know ambulation, and I could not outrun them,
and it was a it was an undulating terrain. Somehow
(20:06):
I managed to wake up each time before the bad
would happen. But it was a scary dream. I've heard
a number of different versions of a bad thing is
happening and you're not able to do anything about it. Well,
this IBA gain apparently creates a momentary, temporary paralysis, and
(20:29):
that experience is similar to that. Now, what would you
be willing to do to change you know, fifth whiskey,
a day addiction, or a heroin addiction, or debilitating suicide
inducing PTSD. So that's that's the claim. The bill that
(20:54):
was signed funds clinical trials for IBA game. State Representative
Brian Harrison is saying, quote, the same legislature that banned
him and banned vapes voted to force you to pay
to study psychedelics. Hypocrisy. He goes on to say, I'm
(21:16):
okay studying this stuff, but not by raising taxes. Amber
Capone with Veterans exploring treatment solutions, was on kx A
n TV about how I Begain helped her veteran husband's PTSD.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
That my husband was struggling after thirteen years of service
in the Sealed Teams, and as truly elastic Jeffert I
arranged for him to leave the United States to go
to Mexico for this intervention that we attribute to saving
his life and saving our family, and immediately he wanted
to pay it forward to his former teammates. To date,
we've provided funding for over a thousand other veterans to
leave the country that they were willing to die for
(21:58):
in order to receive this life saving and life transforming treatment.
So we realize we'll never be able to get ahead
of the need without advocacy and policy change. And of
course Texas stepped up to take to take care of
its veterans yet again.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So I don't know the answer. I certainly don't see
a problem investing in clinical trials for something that has
the potential to save so many lives. We are in
a state, We are in a condition I don't mean
(22:38):
state in terms of fifty states where we're We've sent
men off to war and they come home and we
don't provide them the treatment they need. Proofs in the putting,
we're seeing suicide rates and twenty men died in Vietnam.
We've lost multiples of that to suicide when they came home.
(23:00):
This latest Netflix special on Vietnam, Sure it has a
political bent, there's no doubt about that. But when you
see what those guys went through, anyone who's ever been
exposed to trauma, what that does to the brain, and
(23:23):
repeatedly exposing the young brain to trauma on this level,
they don't have the coping techniques and in many cases
they never do. And to me, that is as awful
as you can get. Don't go to war if you're
(23:44):
not prepared to take care of the warrior before, during,
and after that war. There is a raging debate almost
exclusively among those on the right, Conservatives, Republicans, neo cons libertarians.
Maga as relates to Iran and Israel. A lot of
(24:11):
people want to make this a very simple question in
order to choose you. That it's called a hobsey in
choice in order to make you choose one or the other.
Either you're with Israel or you're with Iran. And it's
not that simple. But I would argue that this debate,
rancorous as it is, is very healthy.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You want just to say the word and I'll draw
apole around, plug down.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
More. Bobby Caldwell pread for money. Well done, sir, well done?
What you want to friend of mine, a marine, sent
me an email this morning. Because I follow a lot
of health and wellness sites, I talk to a lot
of doctors, I read, I think, I engage. I don't
(25:05):
think I'm any smarter than the next guy when it
comes to health and wellness. But I also don't think
that because you have an MD, certainly not a PhD
or some other degree, that your opinion should go unchallenged.
That's how you end up taking a COVID shot, That's
how you end up bleeding out a wound with leeches,
(25:26):
because that's what's done at that time. So my friend
sends me a message this morning, Czar, I had my
first ever colonoscopy scheduled for July twenty second. He's a veteran.
As I told you, the VA is farming it out
to a doctor and he gives name the doctor, and
here's the center and where it's located. I told the
(25:50):
physicians assistant that the blood in my stool from the
colon guard test was from hemorrhoids. So all right, So,
for those of you who don't know, prostate cancer is
the breast cancer of men. One in four women statistically
get breast cancer. If you can identify it early, you
(26:11):
got a good chance of beating it. Prostate cancer, there's
a very good chance a man's going to get it
if you can identify it early. But technology has allowed
us to improve detection. And the technology is not a
doctor sticking their finger in your butthole. And the reason
(26:33):
this is important is that is a much more invasive process.
First of all, most men don't want anything going in
their buttthole. They want stuff going out. And there are
a thousand jokes about you know, his finger was too big,
Well that wasn't my finger. Every kind of gay joke
out there. Don't enjoy it, you know. Okay, those are
(26:56):
established jokes only because that is a real legitimate fear.
But let's leave the fear aside, Michael Savage used to
refer himself as a doctor. May still he's not a
medical doctor, he's a PhD. But I do like the
fact that he was always willing to challenge medical orthodoxy
(27:17):
in much the same way that RFK is. My mother,
God bless her, believed that doctors knew everything they were
the doctor. She was one of those people who would say,
as many people, do you know my doctor says, I
have to do this? Really because your doctor's eighty pounds overweight,
couldn't walk up set of stairs, and hasn't read a
(27:39):
study or updated his knowledge on medicine since he graduated
med school thirty five years ago. But sure, do what
your doctor says, because he's a doctor. So my friend
in this case has had so the color guard is
you simply put some stool, some poop on a plastic
(27:59):
shite and it's like a flycatcher. You mail it. They
do a test. Now, if the test says we don't
detect anything wrong, you move on down the road, and
depending on your marker risks for the likelihood you're going
to get prostate cancer, you test it once a year,
once every five years. There's a protocol for how often
(28:22):
you do this, But it's very simple. Your pooping already,
just put a little pool on a paper boom, run
it to the lab. All right. Lab testing has increased.
I mean, the greatest medical advancement, in my opinion, in
the last fifty years, has nothing to do with doctor
applied medicine. It has to do with technology, pieces of equipment.
(28:43):
What Jeff Witzett can do for your eyes if you're
older and can't see well using equipment. Now he has
to apply it, he has to do it, but using
equipment that he has in technologies that have improved. It's
amazing the number of tests we can do now with
just your blood, or the number of tests we can
do to see what's going on inside your body without
(29:05):
opening your body up because surgery is invasive. Those are
great advancements, incredible investments. So color guard, in my opinion,
is one of the great advancements. We don't need to
be doing all these colonoscopies. Michael Savage told the story.
I believe it is his brother who while they're in
(29:25):
there doing the colonoscopy, if they tear the lining of
your rectum, that is an area that can get septic
very quickly, and then you've got your internals right there.
That can be deadly. The number of people who die
or have a severe life altering experience medical experience from
(29:50):
a colonoscopy gone wrong, which is very easy to do,
is more than you would believe. The number of people
who go into a hospital relatively healthy but need a
medical procedure and never emerge due to medical error due
to infection is so high that if people knew it,
they'd probably never have a surgery. Surgery is not something
(30:12):
to do. Lightly. Penetrating the internal portion of the body
from whatever direction is a dangerous thing. You can nick
things and it can go wrong real fast. All right.
So back to my buddy. So he had blood and
he said that was from having hemorrhoids on April fifteenth.
(30:35):
So he sent me an email on April fifteenth the
morning up, I want to do intermittent fasting, and I said,
I love it, I'm all for it, and he did.
He said on April fifteenth that you remember I started
intermittent fasting and I cut out all the simple carbs,
all the refined stuff. My inflammation has completely gone away,
and so have the piles. I suggested another cold guard
(30:58):
test to the doctor to see if I have solved
the problem before we do a kolonosky. She suggested a colonoscopy.
She's a hammer, so everything's a nail. I prefer the
less invasive poopscoop COLI guard test. Seems like colonoscopies are
a bit invasive and the prep and recovery both are horrible. Anyway,
pray for my poor little butthole. Congrats to Ramone on
(31:19):
his new A one C numbers. That's what inspired me
to send you this message. That is truly wonderful, and
I'm proud of Ramon. So my answer to him, which
we might answer to you, is you have agency over
your own health. Stop waiting on doctors to solve your problems.
Stop rolling into the doctor's office one hundred pounds overweight,
trashing your body and going, how am I doing? Dot?
(31:40):
What pill can you give me? What surgery can you do?
You have agency over your own health. You want to
be unhealthy, that's fine. You don't want to take a test.
All your readings suggests you don't need to do this
particular thing. Look, doctors have mortgages too. Nobody goes to
the car dealership and goes home and says, yeah, I
bought this car. The salesman said, I had to. You
buy there because you want to buy it. You make
(32:03):
medical decisions because you believe that's right. Stop thinking that
doctors are gods, because they're not. I mean, God bless them.
They're important, but like everybody else, they got mortgages.
