Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Varry Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother. I can feel a good
one coming on. It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
You know, normally on our Friday drive home, we celebrate
the week is over, we head into the weekend, and
perhaps that's what we will do today. I will say
with a heavy heart, that's been a rough week for
a lot of people that I know. And you do
internalize that the floods of Central Texas, the Hill Country.
(00:45):
While those floods were not in my neighborhood, they were
felt and suffered by people who live in my neighborhood,
children who were campers at these this girls camp that
was swept away where so many died. I don't repeat
the numbers because it's not a numbers game. It doesn't
(01:07):
matter if it's one hundred died, one hundred and five,
one hundred seven, one hundred and nine, because it's your
one little girl. It doesn't matter if there's one hundred
and four other little girls or one hundred and six
other little girls. And so I know those numbers make
for headlines, but each one of those is a precious
little soul. You know, I think about I think about
(01:31):
how much I love my kids, and I have to
assume everybody loves their kids as much as I love
my kids. And I think how devastated I would be
at my children dying. You know, I was sad when
my brother died at fifty four. It was very sad.
But I followed Jordan maxim of Jordan Peterson's maxim to
be the strongest man at your father's funeral. Well, I
(01:53):
had to be the strongest man at my brother's funeral.
And I took that to heart. And there were tears shed,
just not in public, and they were later. And then
my mom died September nineteenth, and that was tough. You
only get one mom, right, this is the person brought
you into this world. But with both of those I
(02:13):
could say they had a full life. I could look
at our shared memories. I could look at the things
that we did together. I could look at the things
that they most enjoyed. They developed into fully grown human beings.
You know, love to process a deer, or plant this
type of flower, or look at this type of flower,
(02:33):
or watch this type of program, or travel to this
restaurant or make this kind of food. Little children are
so you know, hope springs eternal. They've got the whole
world in front of them. So I guess this is
my reminder with all of those little girls, some of
whom little girls that we have been diagrammed concentric circles with.
(02:58):
It's just a reminder that you're not promised tomorrow than not.
It's a reminder that what matters most is family, friends,
real friends that are there for you, and family that
are there for you. And what matters most cannot be
put into your pocket and doesn't need to be recharged
(03:19):
every few hours. What matters most is our human connection,
and it's not often that we realize that until it's gone.
So let what happened in Texas and is happening in
California is happening on the East Coast right now as
well and will always happen. It happened in New Orleans,
and it happened in Houston with Harvey. It is our
(03:42):
reminder of what matters most, and I hope that helps
somebody in some way. I do love to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Emergency teens in the Hill Country said, even with flash
flood warnings, there's a little time to escape the rapid rise.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Of the water.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
They described a wall of water rushing in.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Within forty five minutes, the Guadalupe River increased to a
height of twenty six feet.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
You're walking through this mess hoping for a miracle.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Heet here.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Keep the faith. That's all we can do. So that's
all I got.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
It.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Can't miss it. We're more than two dozen campers. We're
swept away in the night.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Something about children, as a parent, as a grandparent, as
an aunt, as an uncle, as a human being, there's
just something about innocent, precious children.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yes, say says.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
They are phasing out their shoe removal policy at airport checkpoints.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
Well pre chuck passengers have been able to leave their
shoes on.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
Removing shoes has been a top complaint among all passengers.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
They finally admit, you can take off your mask if
you want to. You can stop getting nineteen booster shots.
Oh and by the way, because we're real gracious, you
can stop taking off your shoes when you go through
the airport.
Speaker 11 (05:04):
US government is now saying financier Jeffrey Epstein never kept
a client list.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
We had heard about that, and contradicts claims from Attorney
General Pam Bondi, who months ago said such a document
was quote sitting on my desk.
Speaker 11 (05:18):
And now they drop a Sunday night memo saying, sorry,
there's no there there in any capacity whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Case closed. That's just not going to that's not going
to fly.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You're now told there is no Epstein lists, There's nothing,
nobody on the list. It's almost as if it didn't happen.
It really makes you wonder, then why is Gilan Maxwell
in prison? There is no list, there are no clients.
If there are no clients, there is no crime.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
Six Secret Service agents are suspended for failures connected to
the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump last year. Deputy
Director Matt Quinn says, we aren't going to fire our
way out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Any organization team, if you name it, where people are
not fired is not an effective organization.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
I cried.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You, why did jove?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I was?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They remain scared to death of you, And they remain
scared to Death of Trump Michael Barry Show. You're not
going anywhere, even if Trump does, You're not.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
With the floods we've seen in central Texas and the
Hill what we call the Hill Country of Texas, it
calls to mind a time when this happened forty years ago.
Believe it or not, this is a little chilling to
listen to. You're gonna hear the voice of William Shatner,
which is always always makes a moment a little more
(06:49):
odd if Shatner's voice is involved. This is from a
show called Rescue nine one one, But listen to this.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
On Friday morning, July seventeenth, nineteen eighty seven, a small
town of comfort Texts became a scene.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Of a heroic rescue and tragic loss.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Much of The Foot of Jewelsy was taped on that
day by the banks of the Guadalupe River. It was
the day they were supposed to go home. The more
than three hundred children at the church camp were awakened early.
The river was flooded. If they didn't leave soon, their
buses might not be able to leave at all.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Are they come in there rushing us up and everything?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Tell us get up and get packed and all this stuff,
and everybody was asking why why.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
They said we gotta get out of because the river
was flowing over. I mean we started going around the corner.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We would to go down the hill and the water
started coming in the bus and stuff, and we tried
to make up.
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Then the bus got stuck, so they made all of
us get out of the bus.
Speaker 11 (07:40):
And that's when the first lafe hit us and started
scattering people to different trees.
Speaker 12 (07:51):
Kids cleaning onto them, you know, the trees like hants,
surrounded by rushing water.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
It was ray was the first few resided.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
How many order of you that most corny.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
On any horny in the bull, the.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Gull, the gut much.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
As used bullet and spread the wood of the flood
and accident more help around, but many parents fear the worst.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I know for me that it was like you've got
two dorders down there. Now obviously they both are not
gonna make it. You know, which one would you choose?
Which one would you have come back? I mean it
seemed like every tree had attention to them.
Speaker 14 (08:44):
Okay, it was a.
Speaker 12 (08:51):
Very dangerous situation from where there were surrounded by trees,
tapping trees where laced.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Masterman tried to repeatedly to rescue fourteen year old Melanie Fily,
but she was looked away by the river. The rescuers
were lowered, knowing that if they got caught in the
trees they would be cut loose. Sergeant McKenzie first tried
to read sixteen year old Scott Shatham, already weakened by
(09:33):
leukemia and chemotherapy.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Three pounds for the army rescuer was for twenty six
people on the trees.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
At eleven thirty that morning, it was over. Thirty three
people had been saved, but ten children died from the
waters of the Gladaugi River.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
There was a moment during all of these floods. There's
been a lot of moments talking about when, when the
when people should have known, when people knew all the things.
There was a woman called who posts under the name
Mikayla's book Nook on social media, who broke down the
(10:27):
Hill Country flood by a meteorologist And I think this
is the best thing I heard. This is a little
longer than we normally play, but give this a listen.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
The narrative's going around right now, that no one was prepared,
no one was worn is completely and totally false. If
you choose to stay uninformed, that is on you, that
is not on the people putting out the message. Firstly,
it is not uncommon to see flash flooding in the
Texas Hill Country. These riverbeds are made of limestone and
a bunch of rocky soils.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Course, they're not going to be absorbing this water easily.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Ever.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
Also, it's the Texas Hill Country, okay, so there's lots
of ups and downs. There's a lot of canyons where
these rivers become very narrow, So when you have flash flooding,
it's going to quickly funnel that water through and then
pick up the speed.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Of the water. So this is not uncommon. There are
many major.
Speaker 10 (11:11):
Floods that have occurred down in Texas Hill Country two
thousand and two, nineteen ninety eight, nineteen seventy eight. Okay,
there are so many different events of major flooding that
have happened down in these areas like Currville and along
the Guadaloupe River because it's prone to flooding. With that
being said, the meteorologist didn't warn anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Narrative has to go away, especially.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
From Texas officials going around and pointing the finger and
saying that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
This is because of the DOGE cuts. This has not
taken effect yet.
Speaker 10 (11:34):
In fact, the National Weather Surface Office down there, that's
Austin and San Antonio, was overstaffed because they were prepared
for this event, and a typical flooding event, they would.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Have two meteorologists on staff.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Okay, they had five because they were ready for this
event to happen. Now to this scale, no, and that's
what it's called a natural disaster, because you literally cannot
prepare to the point that you see these types of
things happen.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
There's no way to do that. But what they did
do is issue a flood watch saying that the conditions.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Are going to be favorable to see flash flooding.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, That got issued Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
In that watch, there was a line mentioned that there
could be isolated rain totals of over ten inches of
rainfall that would lead to flooding. It mentioned in flood
prone areas like the Gudalupe River that the rivers and
the banks and the creeks were likely to go over
their banks.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That was issued on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Since we're on the subject of the left and trying
to capitalize on every natural disaster. This is investigative journalist
Whitney Web. You're going to want to tag this audio
whitney Web is her name, and go find it yourself
and share it with them. This is Whitney Web demolishing
the climate agenda.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Why don't they talk about planning trees? Why isn't Bill Gates,
the largest private landowner in the US now planning trees
like crazy? If he's so worried about carbon dioxide, you know,
he poop poos the whole idea of planning trees as
a way to combat climate change. It's just carbon markets
and going to electric vehicles and all of this stuff.
But electric vehicles necessitates mass mining, and a lot of
(13:03):
that mining is in places that use child labor. Or
it's going to be so environmentally destructive you totally destroy
the developing world, which these people on the left supposedly
want to protect.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're going to totally destroy the environment.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
But really, what it's about is controlling how much energy
people can use.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And if you can control how much.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
Energy a household can use, you can control their economic activity.
You also control how many family, how big their family
can get. It's fear fear driven to get people to
accept policies they otherwise wanted to accept because they're told
this cataclysmic.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Event is just down the line and trust us. Again.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Is the conclusion of that there's people that agree with
the narrative about climate change and there's people that don't.
And I'm not trying to really get in that space
when I talk about this stuff. I'm trying to point
out that the solutions are coming mostly from Wall Street.
And then you have people like Larry Fink of Blackrock
and Michael Bloomberg and Mark Carney coming together in something
(13:57):
like Ji fancying, why don't we give Wall Street direct
control of the IMF and the World Bank for Climate change?
You know, how can anyone on the left that's worried
about climate change sign up?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
On the Michael Varry Show, I want to go back
to Epstein because I think there's an attempt to gloss
over this and move on, and I don't think it
should happen. Matt Gets sometimes can be a bit of
a flamethrower. He'll he'll throw haymakers. See where they stand,
(14:32):
see where they land. He was on with Benny Johnson, though,
and he said something that I'm going to have him
say it, because I suspect there is something to this.
He's talking about a foreign government taking out Epstein because
Epstein had so many secrets that would compromise those foreign governments.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Why is the world's foremost terrists protected.
Speaker 13 (14:52):
This makes no sense, Like this is like a people right,
like everyone agrees on you got a ninety you got
a ninety nine on Epstein.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Bill Barr is the one that needs to be called
in to give to give sworn testimony on what happened
there at Bureau of Prisons, because that is that is
not that. There's just no way that the story you're
getting is the real story. There no freaking way, and
Bill Barr knows it.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think most I think most people and most people believe.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
That right, and like it's no way, that, no way
that that that's I actually think it was a I
actually think that on Epstein it was a foreign government
that took him out.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't think it was a domestic enterprise, really I do.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I'm not going to say which one, but I don't
think it was it was domestic inspired to take out him.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think that was a foreign operation, government sponsored. So
foreign operation took out Epstein inside of our prison. Yes,
so they would must been allowed to Oh, I think
it was.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
It was.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
It was in concert with people in our government, but
not at like some you know, low level guard getting
bribes kind of way at a at a.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
State to state level.
Speaker 13 (16:07):
So so wow, So that'sh probably a lot of partied
interests in keeping that under wraps.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
You better believe it.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Weapons systems at play, global deals at play.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Interesting, you have, you have evidence. I I just impositing
it as a theory.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And finally we go back into the vault for a
little something.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We had some fun with this.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
This one we call Bill Clinton reacts to Jeffrey Epstein's death.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hi, my name is Bill, but you probably know.
Speaker 15 (16:45):
Me as the forty second later of the United States
President Slick Willie.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I'm here today to make a confession. I'm having a
pretty rough week.
Speaker 15 (16:54):
It all started when Secretary Hildeba stay Ka, you know who,
told me I had to spend the week in with her,
something about building a case for an alibi or something
like that. Then I found out my good friend Jeffrey
Epstein got arcincided while he was under arrest for being
the King of Party Island.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They let him die alone in that jail cell.
Speaker 15 (17:18):
And the only thing he did wrong was kidnapping underage
girls and forcing them into a life.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Of sex slavery. Can you believe that?
Speaker 15 (17:27):
And now, as if things couldn't get any worse, some
people actually think I had him killed. As if I
know anything about how to have someone mysteriously disappear, I
wouldn't know, not a clue. Anyway, I gotta run tell
your daughters. I said, hello, sincerely, Bill Clinton.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I have been going back on the issue of COVID,
which I will never let go, and listening to audio.
My brother died. He was a police officer, so he
had to take the shot and didn't want to, and
he died from the shot, I believe, And it's very
upsetting to me, and I feel like I owe it
(18:20):
to him to keep asking questions. So this is six
oh seven, Jim, This is doctor Sunjay Gup though with
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, seeming to intimate that
the COVID vaccine would keep you from getting COVID. Yeah,
you got to take the shot, because you take the shot,
you won't get COVID.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well that was never true, and they knew it. Wasn't true.
Speaker 11 (18:40):
What I think was unfortunate, Frankly, and this was a
communications problem, was that they seem to also intimate that
it would protect you from getting COVID at all from
guarrant and there was not great evidence behind that. And
you know, we reported as such that you don't have
great evidence that shows that when you have a vaccine
(19:02):
that's protecting against illness, that's usually protecting in your lower
respiratory and your lungs. So you're not getting that really
really sort of a deep illness, but you might still
have it in your mucosa, in your mouth and your nose,
in your upper airway, so you could potentially still be
carrying it and still potentially spread it. That wasn't I
think a communications error, and I think, Frankly, Governor, I
(19:24):
think it led to a lot of distrust overall of
these mr Anda vaccines. You said it, you said I
couldn't get COVID. I got this, I got COVID and
I spread it. So what is this is a vaccine
or is it not a vaccine?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
That was a problem.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
This is clip six eight gim This is a flashback
to twenty twenty one. Doctor Sanjay Gupta on CNN with
Jake Tapper. Just listen to what they said in twenty
twenty one, which now literally nobody believes, but it was
being passed off as if this was the truth.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
What I would say is that the science, I think
has been clear for sometime on not only how well
these vaccines work, as you alluded to, but also how
well they protect you, how well they work in terms
of preventing you from getting sick, but also how well
they work in terms of preventing you from becoming infected,
and most importantly and most recently, how well they work
in terms of making it unlikely you would pass the
(20:19):
infection onto someone else. You remember, Jake, you say, well,
I'm vaccinated, why do I continue to wear a mask?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Why do I need that?
Speaker 11 (20:25):
Well, the idea was that maybe you could be an
unwitting carrier asland carrier of the virus. Still, I think
the data and I just got off the phone with
doctor Wilenski. I'll tell you as well. I called her
because I still had some questions after these announcements.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But one of the big things was the data that came.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
Out over the past couple of weeks, really showing that
even if you've been vaccinated. And even if you tested
positive for the virus after you've been vaccinated, which does
happen rarely but does happen, the data is now increasingly
clear that you'd be very very unlikely to then transmit
the virus to somebody else. So you're basically seeing two
communities emerged, the vaccinated community and the unvaccinated community.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
As a vaccinated person, you were wearing.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
A mask because up until recently, over the last month,
the concern was you could still be an unwitting, unwitting
spreader of the virus. That seems very very unlikely now
based on pretty recent data. But so you're not doing
a disservice to your community by no longer wearing a mask.
If you are a vaccinated person, the unvaccinated person could
be putting other unvaccinated people at risk.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
That's the truth, And and they're gonna have to figure
that out.
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Whether institutions are going to say we want to have
some sort of proof of vaccination, Uh, who knows, And
that's going to be a tough, tough call.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
For a lot of these places to sort of make.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Then, since we're in flashback mode, this is for a
one Jim This is a flashback by someone called the
clip Keeper, and it's about the governor of Illinois, JB. Pritzker,
the real fat guy, rich family. He's asked about the
fact that his family during the COVID lockdown, he locked
down the people of Illinois, and he flew to Florida
(22:05):
where there was no lockdown. If you believe that the
lockdowns were necessary, why would you risk your family's lives
going to a place where there isn't a lockdown?
Speaker 13 (22:17):
This is how you know.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
What is your response to people who say the state
home order and not essential travel bands aren't being abided
by your family. I believe there's a report for Military
Rising Action that says that she recently traveled to Florida.
Speaker 16 (22:29):
Well, first of all, I want to say that in politics,
it used to be that we kept our families out
of it. You know, my official duties have nothing to
do with my family. So I'm just not going to
answer that question. It's inappropriate, and I find it reprehensible
honestly that that reporter wrote a story about it.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
That's me or take me to Texas. I was talking
about that he gets out of this state. I think
Michael Barry, rob Michael very Show.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
I like you.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So every time you try to cut a government program,
you're told that that program is so important and people
are going to die. But what you find out is
there's so much fraud in these government programs. They there
were something called sober living homes in Phoenix has been
(23:22):
charging Medicare for services they never provided. Five hundred sixty
million dollars for services that were never provided. Do you
realize how many billion dollars are being paid out to
people in this country for services that are never provided
and there's no oversight.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
In this case, Medicare was scammed out of seven hundred
and sixty million dollars. And in Phoenix, we open investigation
after receiving a complaint about suspicious billet to Arizona Medicaid.
It led us to a network of sober living homes
that were supposed to be helping those struggling with drug
and alcohol addiction, many of whom were Native Americans. Instead,
(24:06):
this was a massive fraud scheme that built for services
that were never actually provided. The sober living home facilities
owned by pro MD received more than five hundred and
sixty million dollars for services that were not provided.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I can't remember if we played this last week, but
I had kept this and it was important to me.
It's a Southwest Airlines pilot whose father died in Vietnam.
How proud would his father be of him today? A
pilot for a major airline and he brings his father's
remains home finally after Vietnam, after fifty two years. This
(24:46):
is for every one of you served in Vietnam. This
is for every one of you who lost a loved
one serving This is for the pain people suffer when
the rest of the world moves on from your conflict
and your funeral, because it never goes away both.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
My name is Mike.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
I'm the.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Fellow pilot with Brian the Captain Judas blu had.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Today you all have.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Been part of the honor flight of a ball and
American airman. The Vietnam era Captain Roy Knight left love
Field in nineteen sixty seventh January nineteen sixty seven. He
was shot down over Laws May nineteenth, nineteen sixty seven.
(25:31):
That day that he left America, his mom, his wife,
and his son came here to love Field and send
him off on his way. A few months later they
got the word that he was shot down. It's in
fifty two years since that family had lost their thum.
(25:52):
A few months ago, Captain Knight was notified by the
military that his father's remains had been possibly by and
through the efforts of many, many people, we have him
with us today in a casket in the belly of
the airplane. The violet that flew you in today was
(26:13):
that same five year old boy who was left here
in love Field fifty two years ago with his dad
as say goodbye.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
He was honored by all the people Southwest to be
able to bring his.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Father home, and Countain of the airplane here today, he said,
that little boy was here Captain today.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
All right, next Dame here. I love this guy who.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Just a random Elon Musk statement that I thought played well.
I don't want to go through the week without getting
it on the air.
Speaker 14 (26:56):
You get text on what you would, you get text
on what you buy, and you get text and what
you own Texas taxes, taxes, you know, and then what
does it get spent on? A bunch of the stuff
he gets spent on you don't even agree with. So
you know, that's why we need to we need to
reduce the size of government. And to spend less money
and let the people keep a lot more of their
(27:18):
hard earned money.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
This is a clip from a fellow name Alex Armstrong
on something called gb News, and he happens to be gay,
and he's criticizing Pride Month. There are more people who
feel this way than you would believe, and so that's
why we're going to give them voice.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Things like Pride to the exact opposite to what Jonathan
thinks they do. It turns people off what I see
when I see some of those Pride events. It's fetishes
being displayed on strict men and running naked around thinking
that's acceptable.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
They're children walking around.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
It doesn't show anything good about the gay community. It
stereotypes them. And there'll be millions of gay men, thousands
of them watching tonight. W He'll go, Actually, I don't
want that representing well. Have to look about where that
backlash has come from, because Jonathan's right, there is a
backlash happening, and it is the fault of these far
left institutions like Stonewall that have pushed the agenda too far.
(28:11):
They've advocated puberty block is for children for it, and
during the two thousands, gay rights was being relatively accepted.
People who got over the whole fear of it all
and moved on. Public had moved on. Just don't you
know what, We don't really care anymore. It's the assimilation
argument all over again, isn't it. Do you want to
be part of society or do you want society to
(28:31):
look at you and think you are different?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I came across something weaker to ago, and I haven't
had a chance to play it. It's Friday, and so
I like to try to, you know, tidy up and
clean up before give away everything. Either send it to goodwill,
put it in the trash, or give it away to
a friend. And so I'm going to do that with
you now. And this is a clip by Charlie Chaplin
in nineteen forty. You've probably never seen Charlie Chaplin speak
(28:57):
before because he mind everything and he was in silent movies.
But he and he didn't break from that because it
was a big part of his character. He felt so
strongly about fighting fascism against Germany that he broke his
silence to deliver this monologue. It's one of those things.
It's not going to fight in war, but it's using
(29:19):
your celebrity your brand in furtherance of a cause you
believe deeply in. And I thought that was pretty darn cool.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
I should like to help everyone if possible, U, gentile,
black man white. We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that. We want to live by
each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't
want to hate and despise one another.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
In this world.
Speaker 9 (29:46):
There's room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich
and can provide for everyone. Do not despair. The misery
that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress,
the hate of the who will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return
to the people. And so long as men die, liberty
(30:08):
will never perish. Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes. Men
who despise you and slave you, who regiment your lives,
tell you what to do, what to think, and what
to feel, Who trill you, diet you, treat you like cattle,
use you as canon podder. Don't give yourselves to these
unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine harts.
(30:29):
You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men.
You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You
don't hate only the unloved. Hate the unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty. In the
seventeenth chapter of Saint luc it is written, the Kingdom
of God is within men, not one man, nor a
group of men, but in all men. In you, you,
(30:51):
the people, have the power, the power to create machines,
the power to create happiness. You, the people, have the
power to make this life free and beautiful, to make
this lie for a wonderful adventure. Then, in the name
of democracy, let us choose that power. Let us all
you like, let us fight for a new world, a
decent world that will give men a chance to work,
(31:11):
that will give you the future and old aid to security.
By the promise of these things. Brutes have risen to power,
but they lie, They do not fulfill the promise.
Speaker 13 (31:19):
They never will.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people. Now, let
us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to
free the world, to do away with national barriers, to
do away with greed, with hate, and intolerance. Let us
fight for a world of reason, a world where science
and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers in
(31:43):
the name of democracy, let us all unite.
