Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Vari Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air tonight chilling new details about the shooting
that left two National Guardsmen gravely wounded.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
A lone gunman opened fire without provocation, ambush style, armed
with a three point fifty seven Smith and Wesson revolver.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Raman Nola Lockenwall is a twenty nine year old Afghan
national who came to the US in twenty twenty one.
He served in the Afghan Army for ten years.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
There are, of course, concerns among lawmakers experts with Tractice
for saying previous arrivals of large numbers of refugees from
different parts of the world and that only there may
be a handful small handful to our eventually deemed.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
A security risk of some kind.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
What reassurances can you make about the screening process and
the aten to make sure that somebody like that doesn't
make his or her way here.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I can absolutely assure you that no one is coming
into the United States of America who has knocking through
a thorough screening and background check process.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Twas if you think there was vetting, I have a
bridge to sell you. If you saw the chaos that
was going on at that airport in Cobble in Afghanistan.
It was typical of what was going on in the
Biden administration. So let's stop namby pambing around with this, Oh,
we was vetted. There was no vetted. The Welcome Act
(01:49):
was thrown down. They even admitted that they short circuited
the vetting. What they did was they brought a ninety
thousand people into this country that were not vetted. They
told us all the other immigrants were vet What do
we do call the FBI in Afghanistan and say, geez,
you have anything on this guy?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Now againstwaspeedmen.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Well, we know that this individual came into the country
under Operation Allies Welcome and during the Biden administration and
that disastrous withdrawal that we all watched unfold in twenty
twenty one. I understand you've made clear the president does
not have any regrets.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
About his decision to withdraw.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
But in hindsight, in reading this, does the president have
any regrets about how this withdrawal was carried out?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
The President's very proud of the manner in which the
men and women of the military, the foreign service, and
television community. I went on and on and on, conducted this,
conducted this withdrawal. But look, I've been around operations my
entire life, and there's not a single one that ever
goes perfectly according to Plant. Things happen. Sometimes enemies get
(03:14):
a vote. I've been to Ethiopod multiple times, and only
(03:39):
one of those visits I felt that I wasn't getting
to see enough of the country. Had been out into
the countryside. I'd spent plenty of time in Adisababaz, the capital,
but I wanted to see something more than what you
show the tourists. So I started pushing harder and harder
for that. So they started driving me beyond the commercial
(04:00):
districts and into more purely residential districts. And then you
get into what would be maybe Houston's east Side, although
with the quote unquote gentrification that's occurred over there, Houston's
east Side isn't even Houston's east Side anymore, Nor's north Side.
(04:21):
It's all changed. So I wanted to see their colony ridge.
I wanted to see the areas. I wanted to see
what used to be the Greyhound bus stop in midtown
that's now moved over on the east side. I wanted
to see the areas that were edgy what that looked like.
(04:42):
So I was told, in no uncertain term by some
very dear friends of ours, I would never take you there.
Why And they said, well, even the police don't go
into those areas. Why because they're Somalis. There's some what Somalis.
(05:08):
I didn't say that there're some what, I'd just be
a stupid Okay, Well you're Ethiopian's what's the difference, world
of difference. The Somalis are uncivilized, they're barbaric. Not the
first person to say that. In fact, Somali piracy goes
(05:31):
back to the original Marine Corps hymn. Every marine knows
that Jefferson fought the Barbary Coast. Jefferson Jefferson's administrations Afghanistan
and Iraq was what we would call Somalis. You're talking
about an area we've always heard the term war torn,
(05:53):
a war torn region. You ever stop to think about
what that means? A war torn region. I watch a
lot of Like every man my age, I watch a
disturbingly large number of videos documentaries about World War Two,
(06:14):
and I'm at the point where you consider someone an
amateur if they're still watching Hitler videos. Oh no, you
got to go deep. You got to go deep into
the Eastern Front and understand the hand to hand battles.
You've got to understand the Polish underground. But when you
think about the brutality that occurred with the Germans after
(06:40):
they rolled through Poland, after they had complete and utter
control hegemony over the Polish state, then they began the
gruesome things because now there was no resistance. Resistance was underground,
so they could just randomly go and pick someone out
raper in the street and then cut her head off.
(07:04):
There was a guy in Chicago who the District attorney
of Chicago. No, no, I'm sorry. It was in Chicago.
It was a Terrance County now Dallas County, and he
went into a hotel, a motel, and the owner was
(07:25):
there working. His wife and child were in the next room.
They heard a disturbance out front. Man had walked in
with a very sharp machete and he cut the head
off of the motel owner, clean off, like in the movies.
Takes a lot of force in a very sharp knife.
(07:47):
The wife and child witnessed this, and they're not seeking
the death penalty. I'm not going to say America wouldn't
have problems if it wasn't for immigrants. And obviously I
don't believe that every immigrant's a bad person, but there
can be no doubt that there is a much higher
(08:09):
ratio of crimes from certain.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Regions and certain religions and certain groups than there are
just your average person from Baytown. And if we can't
admit that, then we are truly sad and broken and dystopian.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Everybody in Minneapolis.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
They have a fraud on a scale that nobody could
really believe that has been discovered.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And what's more, what has been discovered is that that
fraud has been covered up by Tim Walls. So here
was a man running for president vice president while the
largest domestic fraud in American history was being conducted in
(09:05):
the largest city, his home city in the state. Billions,
not an MB for billions of dollars that were allocated
by Congress federal funds to feed hungry children, presumably hungry
(09:26):
American children. But I don't want to be racist or
anything by putting Americans before people around the world, at
least people living in America, because it hurts the liberals
feelings when you say citizens rather than residents and there's
tampon Tim. It's floating around even the New York Times.
(09:50):
Even the New York Times wrote an editorial over the
weekend how fraud swamped Minnesota's social s services system on
Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora.
A diaspora is a group of people who leave from
(10:12):
a place and spread out around the world. It was
typically used with regard to Jewry or Jews, the Jewish diaspora,
and that's mostly because a lot of academic scholarship related
to where Jews went during the purge known as the Holocaust.
(10:33):
So you had a number of people leaving, most notably Poland,
but Germany, Austria, the Netherlands to a lesser France, to
a lesser extent, Belgium, Russia. In fact, if you were
to look at the number of Jews who left those
(10:59):
countries and others and came to the United States and
see the level of success, it would shock you, which
would suggest, dare I say it a cultural trait? Now?
Is this nature or nurture? Is there any doubt that
(11:24):
Indians who come to this country and raise a child,
those children are outperforming the average Americans, Is there any
doubt that all things being equal, cteris parabas is here.
Economists will say white children are outperforming black children in
(11:46):
every standard imaginable except likelihood to make it in the NBA.
That's a fact. I'm sorry that upsets people. You can
have your own opinions, you can't have your own facts,
Milton Friedman said, if I can get the quote right,
(12:10):
facts can change facts can change opinions, but opinions cannot
change facts. Clarence Thomas gave a beautiful speech talking about
true North and it's one of the finest speeches he's
ever given. It's up there with something that Scalia would deliver.
(12:30):
It's really really beautiful. And he talks about true North
is true North, even in a storm. True North is
true North. No matter what anyone says, it does not change.
I heard Ed Young in a sermon years ago, and
(12:52):
he was talking about relativism and that relativism is a
rot and decay of Christian theology, and relativism goes, well, yes,
I'm defrauding the investors in my company. At least I'm
(13:13):
not killing them. Well, yes, I'm killing a few people,
but I'm not killing all of them. Hey, Bob, you're
not involved in the lives of your children at all.
There's no discipline, there's no love, there's no presence. Your
(13:34):
children don't know you. Yeah, but at least I'm putting
a roof over their head. Okay. Relativism is saying, no
matter how bad things are, they could always be worse.
So this is a very discomforting thing for Americans, and
(13:57):
that speaks to both our greatest strength and our greatest weakness.
Our greatest strength is that we are more than any
nation throughout history, and it's not even close. Kind. We
are kind. We are the kindest people in history, no
(14:21):
other nation. We allow people into our country and have
since our founding. Our founders were of this. Who come here,
we allow them citizenship, not just residency, full citizenship, the
same citizenship as if your father was killed storming the beaches, normany,
(14:45):
same citizenship that they died in the Pacific theater, if
they gave their entire fortune to charity. We are kind.
We are a kind culture, and that is a iminent
Christian culture. The Christian culture is the kindest culture. You
(15:08):
will not witness kindness in Muslim majority countries. That's just
a fact, and in fact it's the reason nobody wants
to live there. The reason the Middle East is currently
spending all this money buying soccer leagues and golf leagues
and paying what ten X for golfers to play there
(15:34):
is because you have to. And it's not because the
terrain is unpleasant it is. And it's not because the
weather is harsh it is. It's because the culture is
incompatible with the Western mind. The simple things that we
(15:55):
take for granted. You know, a guy gets sent to
prison and comes out in ten years where they talk
about it, the simple pleasures, things I took for granted
that were taken away. It is not until you visit
those country spaces you don't think that the people who
live in those countries share those values. In most cases,
grown weave is they do. They can't even help it.
It's mother's milk. It's all the tower of weaver of.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
You can be in the middle of the hurricane, or
you can be on a calm day. North is still North.
You could be in a thunderstorm. North is still North.
People can yell at you. North is still North. It
doesn't change fundamental things. And in this business, right is
still right, even if you stand by.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yourself autism claims to medicate in Minnesota twenty eighteen, three
million dollars. Then something happened. In twenty nineteen, it went
to fifty four million dollars. Is autism contagious? Are we
(17:09):
bringing in more people with autism? So from three million
to fifty four million overnight of your federal dollars going
to Minneapolis for autism for Somalis, then in twenty twenty
three million turned into seventy seven million. That's nothing. In
twenty twenty one, the first year of the Biden administration,
(17:31):
it went to one hundred eighty three million. From three
million to one hundred eighty three million. There must have
been a whole lot of autism amongst the Somalis. But
now at least, and now at least we're treating it
with one hundred eighty three million dollars. Oh no, no, no,
we didn't begin to scratch the surface. In twenty twenty two,
(17:52):
two hundred and seventy nine million dollars. Wow, ae hundred
fold increase two hundred and seventy nine million dollars. Well,
at least the Somalis are getting help for all the
autism they clearly have that rights itself, doesn't it. Somalis
(18:17):
have a lot of autism, I mean clearly then twenty
twenty three, three hundred and ninety nine million, Oh, go
ahead and round that up like the coffee shop for charity,
one hundred and thirty three times as much money in
(18:39):
less than a five year period. You know what happened
during that time? The Somalis got very politically powerful. They organized,
and so the white liberals understood, the only way we
can survive. Jacob fry Right, the mayor, Tim Wallas, the governor,
(19:03):
understood eventually there'll be no addict to hide in. Eventually
they were overwhelm us. But in the meantime, I will
buy their votes because I can't afford to white people.
They vote based on good government. And you know those
(19:26):
white Scandinavian farmers, those self reliant independent people who made
Minnesota such a great state. What do you think of
when you think of Minnesota? You go Minnesota, you think
of that accent. You're never really sure that the difference between
Minnesota and Wisconsin, except Minnesota's are really nice people. What
(19:51):
do you, honestly, what do you think of? What did
you think of? You thought of the old Chris Rock joke,
didn't you ay, but two blacks in Minnesota, Kirby, Pucket
and Prince. And then he thought, huh, I wonder what
that's like. It's all white Scandinavian. Minneapolis was a very
(20:13):
charming place, cold, brutally cold. When Chris Baker left here
and went to Minneapolis, and he was anchoring a show there,
and I had taken over our stations and I wanted
to wanted him to do an afternoon show for us
from two to four with Cynthia Hunt. And so I
(20:36):
called him and I said, how are things? He said,
it's crazy. Here, give me an example. Well, we go
ice fishing. I said, what does that look like? Is
exactly what you would expect in the movies or what
you've seen in the movies, like what William? You bring
in a lawn chair out and they've cut a hole
(20:58):
like in the cartoons, and you drop a line under
the water, and at some point there's a fish down
there that you can't see, and eventually you pull him
up and pull him out onto the ice. That's the
craziest damn thing you've ever heard of. But there became
an invasion. Use whatever word you wish the people from Somalia.
(21:24):
Now again we're going to talk in facts as much
as that obsessed people are going to talk in facts.
There are studies done on IQ and they are disturbing.
That suggests the average Somali's IQ would actually qualify for
(21:45):
what we used to call retardation in this country. I
think I saw that the number was sixty two, but
I'll check and I'll correct it if I'm wrong. If
somebody can send it to me. We've got good researchers.
The number was disturbingly low. Hundreds about normal. When you
get down at seventy and below, you're talking about whatever
(22:06):
word makes you happy. Lenny from of Mice and Men
are whatever you want, sling blade, whatever you want to
call it. Well, this is upsetting, This is racist, This
is mean, is it though? Is it is it racist
to say that Samoans are typically very large people? Now
(22:29):
that's not true. That I saw man it was Samoan
and he wasn't okay? Does that disprove the rule? When
you can't speak generally because of your fear of quote
unquote stereotyping, then you can't speak. And that's what we
have become. When I was running from er Agaance Bill White,
(22:51):
as the former state party chairman of the Democrat Party.
He was so worried he might offend the blacks, or
the gays, or the Hispanics or the white laborer that
he demand could not make a statement without a parenthetical
comment added to it. We're going to make the streets
of this city drivable again, not to say there's anything
(23:14):
wrong with people who walk, or with people who like potholes,
or with people who come from places that have lots
of potholes and think potholes are charming. When you are
afraid of what you believe. I can't tell you how
many people and I wish they wouldn't do it. I
really wish they wouldn't do it. Michael, I agree with
(23:37):
you wholeheartedly. I'm glad you say what you say, because
boy can't I I appreciate the candor, but why can't
you You think it's easier for me. Nobody's trying to
take your job, nobody's threatened by you, nobody's in nobody's
(24:00):
according everything you say and sending it to media matters
to just catch you one time, say that hard or
do it well. They're just they'll try to bait you
into say they're so desperately. Why can't if you believe
something to be true, why is it concerning that that
(24:20):
upsets someone? Glory for you?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
My brother in law murdered too Native American to.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Michael Berry showy, you have my attention, so importance on
re election and he's trailing in the polls. Current polling
has Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, in first place, followed
about ten points behind by six turn Senator. And you're
(24:52):
not leading with all those years in public service, with
all that money being spent, with all the free publicity.
The Attorney General is beating him badly, and one percentage
point behind. John Cornyn, who's in a distant second is
(25:13):
a congressman who's barely been in congress, Wesley Hunt. Name
ID in early polls and we're still early. Name ida
is everything. That's why incumbents always lead in the early polls,
because it's the name you know when they call someone.
(25:36):
And by the way, think about who answers a phone call.
We don't have a home phone. I know a lot
of people don't have a home phone. You can't get there.
They're not answering a poll. They don't trust it. It might
be some Nigerian dude or Somali. It's probably a scam.
So so you answer the poll and they go, who
(25:59):
would you like to vote for in this race? Guy's name?
You know, I don't know who else is running. I
don't know that person. I don't want to admit I
don't know that person. Is there anyone else running?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Oh? Uh, the first guy? Because you don't want to
say you don't want to be a man on the street.
On one of the comedy shows, Tom Green's gonna make
a joke about you. You don't even know who your
own congressman is, your own senator. So there's a bump
for just name id. His support is less than he's
(26:41):
going to get in the early poll because he's supposed
to be the only name. You know. The others haven't
had a chance to identify themselves. They haven't spent the
money explaining themselves, introducing themselves, telling you what they've done.
Rass Cordon's had the run of it for well over
two decades. So he's panicked because, damn it, he's never
(27:01):
been in the public in the private sector, and he
ain't about to start. Now. You might say, well, he's
an old man. He looks terrible. You have no idea
how bad he looks unless you've seen the commercial I'm
about to tell you or the post he put up.
This is the man who last year when Nicki Haley
announced John Cornyn coordinated that, he called a presser by
(27:26):
zoom to go on the record with every major newspaper
and television station in the state of Texas, and he
made the statement, Donald Trump's time has passed. America needs
to move on. You mean, the most popular president of
(27:47):
my lifetime, the guy who won in sixteen and won
again in twenty and you don't want him running in
twenty twenty four. Do you have a better candidate? Oh,
Nicky Haley, Uh got it. Creature hates Donald Trump. He
has said so behind closed doors. He called for him
not to run. He called for voters, and he was
(28:09):
saying this to the press. This wasn't a comment in
the old in the cloakroom, the old boy's room. No. No,
he wanted you to know his opinion on this matter.
He wanted to be clear what his opinion was. And
nowad he's running. Oh, he pictures himself reading the Art
of the Deal. Because people aren't supposed to know what
(28:30):
he's actually done, and said, Oh, there's John Cornyn reading
Donald Trump's book from nineteen eighty nine. He's there with
the president. You think he's there with the president. Yes,
he's reading his book. Oh you don't know how he's
there with the president. Oh really Yeah, here's a picture
of him in Houston where it says almost as if
he's written it. I got a chance to have a
(28:50):
Trump Burger today. There delicious. Well, thank you, Tony the Tiger.
You enjoyed your Trumper I did whilst reading my Art
of the Deal. Gotta be honest with it, darn birder
with seduci. It leaked onto the book, you know what
I mean. Had to lick it off. Didn't want to
smear the words because they're they're like the They're like
(29:12):
God's own to me. I got a red letter version
of the Art of the Deal to represent that this
was God's word to me, at least, may not be
to y'all. I don't know how much I don't. I
don't know a few people even like Donald Trump. I
tell you I do. I might be if I'm the
only one I hear loves Donald Trump, I'll be that man,
I'm stand alone loving Donald Trump. If loving Donald Trump
is wrong, I don't want to be right. Oh so
(29:35):
we got the book, and we got another one where
you're eating a Trump Burger, which later closed the Curse
of John Cornyn. Oh but we had the best one yet.
They cleared out BUCkies for him to stand in front
of the brass Bucky and there was there was old
John John Wayne mccorny, and he was in khakis just
(29:56):
like you, huh, and a button up shirt and a
ball cap because that's what you do, you wear tennis
shoes and khakis and a ball cap. The costume departments
put him all together. Oh yeah, go all right. And
he's stood next to BUCkies and he said, I'm here
at BUCkies. It's America. I love Bucky.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
I love I love a good road trip across Texas
where really yes also drives safe. Also, I was down
in South Texas with a bunch of Mexicans and he
rattled them off, Sanchez and Orties and Pena because I
gotta get that vote too. I'm not going to tell
you I felt sorry for him, because he is the problem.
(30:34):
But it was so bad, it was so painful. But
by God, you need to know you like BUCkies. You
like BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
He likes BUCkies, Donald Trump likes I mean, John Corny
likes BUCkies. He's willing to tell you. Maybe nobody else
likes BUCkies. He doesn't care. He's standing up for BUCkies.
Maybe this is a controversial position. Maybe other people want
to destroy BUCkies. Maybe he's only one who willing to stand,
(31:05):
but he'll do it. It's what kind of thing he is here.
He was in front of BUCkies. And you know, most
people in Texas disagreed with him, because you know, BUCkies
isn't popular or anything. But by God, he was standing
up for BUCkies because John Wayne mccornyan, over the Thanksgiving holidays,
was driving our state to visit BUCkies. By God, just like.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You, John Wayne mccordon spent the Thanksgiving holiday fighting for Texas.
We've told you for months now he shouldered to shoulder
toe to toe ninety seven point two percent of the
time with Donald J. Trump helping keep our borders safe.
John Wayne mccornan is Texas to the bone. That's why
he spent Thanksgiving at BUCkies standing shoulder to shoulder with
(31:47):
Bucky the Beaver, making sure his hired photographer got every
awkward angle. He spent hours shaking hands with people mass
exiting the bathrooms, all while wearing a cowboy hat, giant
beaver belt buckle, and sipping a big gulp cherry slushy
because he knows that's what Texans do. John Wayne mccornan
is a brisket connoisseur, so it's only natural that he
(32:08):
jumped behind the counter and served brisket sandwiches, all while
chatting that famous BUCkies antho fresh.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Fever on the board.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Uh sir, it's brisket weed. We don't serve beever eating.
Oh yeah right.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
John Wayne mcconnan finished his day at the car wash,
slowly moving his arm forward telling you to place your
car in neutral, and giggling as the BUCkies hologram logo
slowly moves across your wish
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Vari Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air tonight chilling new details about the shooting
that left two National Guardsmen gravely wounded.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
A lone gunman opened fire without provocation, ambush style, armed
with a three point fifty seven Smith and Wesson revolver.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Raman Nola Lockenwall is a twenty nine year old Afghan
national who came to the US in twenty twenty one.
He served in the Afghan Army for ten years.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
There are, of course, concerns among lawmakers experts with Tractice
for saying previous arrivals of large numbers of refugees from
different parts of the world and that only there may
be a handful small handful to our eventually deemed.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
A security risk of some kind.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
What reassurances can you make about the screening process and
the aten to make sure that somebody like that doesn't
make his or her way here.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I can absolutely assure you that no one is coming
into the United States of America who has knocking through
a thorough screening and background check process.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Twas if you think there was vetting, I have a
bridge to sell you. If you saw the chaos that
was going on at that airport in Cobble in Afghanistan.
It was typical of what was going on in the
Biden administration. So let's stop namby pambing around with this, Oh,
we was vetted. There was no vetted. The Welcome Act
(01:49):
was thrown down. They even admitted that they short circuited
the vetting. What they did was they brought a ninety
thousand people into this country that were not vetted. They
told us all the other immigrants were vet What do
we do call the FBI in Afghanistan and say, geez,
you have anything on this guy?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Now againstwaspeedmen.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Well, we know that this individual came into the country
under Operation Allies Welcome and during the Biden administration and
that disastrous withdrawal that we all watched unfold in twenty
twenty one. I understand you've made clear the president does
not have any regrets.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
About his decision to withdraw.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
But in hindsight, in reading this, does the president have
any regrets about how this withdrawal was carried out?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
The President's very proud of the manner in which the
men and women of the military, the foreign service, and
television community. I went on and on and on, conducted this,
conducted this withdrawal. But look, I've been around operations my
entire life, and there's not a single one that ever
goes perfectly according to Plant. Things happen. Sometimes enemies get
(03:14):
a vote. I've been to Ethiopod multiple times, and only
(03:39):
one of those visits I felt that I wasn't getting
to see enough of the country. Had been out into
the countryside. I'd spent plenty of time in Adisababaz, the capital,
but I wanted to see something more than what you
show the tourists. So I started pushing harder and harder
for that. So they started driving me beyond the commercial
(04:00):
districts and into more purely residential districts. And then you
get into what would be maybe Houston's east Side, although
with the quote unquote gentrification that's occurred over there, Houston's
east Side isn't even Houston's east Side anymore, Nor's north Side.
(04:21):
It's all changed. So I wanted to see their colony ridge.
I wanted to see the areas. I wanted to see
what used to be the Greyhound bus stop in midtown
that's now moved over on the east side. I wanted
to see the areas that were edgy what that looked like.
(04:42):
So I was told, in no uncertain term by some
very dear friends of ours, I would never take you there.
Why And they said, well, even the police don't go
into those areas. Why because they're Somalis. There's some what Somalis.
(05:08):
I didn't say that there're some what, I'd just be
a stupid Okay, Well you're Ethiopian's what's the difference, world
of difference. The Somalis are uncivilized, they're barbaric. Not the
first person to say that. In fact, Somali piracy goes
(05:31):
back to the original Marine Corps hymn. Every marine knows
that Jefferson fought the Barbary Coast. Jefferson Jefferson's administrations Afghanistan
and Iraq was what we would call Somalis. You're talking
about an area we've always heard the term war torn,
(05:53):
a war torn region. You ever stop to think about
what that means? A war torn region. I watch a
lot of Like every man my age, I watch a
disturbingly large number of videos documentaries about World War Two,
(06:14):
and I'm at the point where you consider someone an
amateur if they're still watching Hitler videos. Oh no, you
got to go deep. You got to go deep into
the Eastern Front and understand the hand to hand battles.
You've got to understand the Polish underground. But when you
think about the brutality that occurred with the Germans after
(06:40):
they rolled through Poland, after they had complete and utter
control hegemony over the Polish state, then they began the
gruesome things because now there was no resistance. Resistance was underground,
so they could just randomly go and pick someone out
raper in the street and then cut her head off.
(07:04):
There was a guy in Chicago who the District attorney
of Chicago. No, no, I'm sorry. It was in Chicago.
It was a Terrance County now Dallas County, and he
went into a hotel, a motel, and the owner was
(07:25):
there working. His wife and child were in the next room.
They heard a disturbance out front. Man had walked in
with a very sharp machete and he cut the head
off of the motel owner, clean off, like in the movies.
Takes a lot of force in a very sharp knife.
(07:47):
The wife and child witnessed this, and they're not seeking
the death penalty. I'm not going to say America wouldn't
have problems if it wasn't for immigrants. And obviously I
don't believe that every immigrant's a bad person, but there
can be no doubt that there is a much higher
(08:09):
ratio of crimes from certain.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Regions and certain religions and certain groups than there are
just your average person from Baytown. And if we can't
admit that, then we are truly sad and broken and dystopian.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Everybody in Minneapolis.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
They have a fraud on a scale that nobody could
really believe that has been discovered.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And what's more, what has been discovered is that that
fraud has been covered up by Tim Walls. So here
was a man running for president vice president while the
largest domestic fraud in American history was being conducted in
(09:05):
the largest city, his home city in the state. Billions,
not an MB for billions of dollars that were allocated
by Congress federal funds to feed hungry children, presumably hungry
(09:26):
American children. But I don't want to be racist or
anything by putting Americans before people around the world, at
least people living in America, because it hurts the liberals
feelings when you say citizens rather than residents and there's
tampon Tim. It's floating around even the New York Times.
(09:50):
Even the New York Times wrote an editorial over the
weekend how fraud swamped Minnesota's social s services system on
Tim Waltz's watch. Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora.
A diaspora is a group of people who leave from
(10:12):
a place and spread out around the world. It was
typically used with regard to Jewry or Jews, the Jewish diaspora,
and that's mostly because a lot of academic scholarship related
to where Jews went during the purge known as the Holocaust.
(10:33):
So you had a number of people leaving, most notably Poland,
but Germany, Austria, the Netherlands to a lesser France, to
a lesser extent, Belgium, Russia. In fact, if you were
to look at the number of Jews who left those
(10:59):
countries and others and came to the United States and
see the level of success, it would shock you, which
would suggest, dare I say it a cultural trait? Now?
Is this nature or nurture? Is there any doubt that
(11:24):
Indians who come to this country and raise a child,
those children are outperforming the average Americans, Is there any
doubt that all things being equal, cteris parabas is here.
Economists will say white children are outperforming black children in
(11:46):
every standard imaginable except likelihood to make it in the NBA.
That's a fact. I'm sorry that upsets people. You can
have your own opinions, you can't have your own facts,
Milton Friedman said, if I can get the quote right,
(12:10):
facts can change facts can change opinions, but opinions cannot
change facts. Clarence Thomas gave a beautiful speech talking about
true North and it's one of the finest speeches he's
ever given. It's up there with something that Scalia would deliver.
(12:30):
It's really really beautiful. And he talks about true North
is true North, even in a storm. True North is
true North. No matter what anyone says, it does not change.
I heard Ed Young in a sermon years ago, and
(12:52):
he was talking about relativism and that relativism is a
rot and decay of Christian theology, and relativism goes, well, yes,
I'm defrauding the investors in my company. At least I'm
(13:13):
not killing them. Well, yes, I'm killing a few people,
but I'm not killing all of them. Hey, Bob, you're
not involved in the lives of your children at all.
There's no discipline, there's no love, there's no presence. Your
(13:34):
children don't know you. Yeah, but at least I'm putting
a roof over their head. Okay. Relativism is saying, no
matter how bad things are, they could always be worse.
So this is a very discomforting thing for Americans, and
(13:57):
that speaks to both our greatest strength and our greatest weakness.
Our greatest strength is that we are more than any
nation throughout history, and it's not even close. Kind. We
are kind. We are the kindest people in history, no
(14:21):
other nation. We allow people into our country and have
since our founding. Our founders were of this. Who come here,
we allow them citizenship, not just residency, full citizenship, the
same citizenship as if your father was killed storming the beaches, normany,
(14:45):
same citizenship that they died in the Pacific theater, if
they gave their entire fortune to charity. We are kind.
We are a kind culture, and that is a iminent
Christian culture. The Christian culture is the kindest culture. You
(15:08):
will not witness kindness in Muslim majority countries. That's just
a fact, and in fact it's the reason nobody wants
to live there. The reason the Middle East is currently
spending all this money buying soccer leagues and golf leagues
and paying what ten X for golfers to play there
(15:34):
is because you have to. And it's not because the
terrain is unpleasant it is. And it's not because the
weather is harsh it is. It's because the culture is
incompatible with the Western mind. The simple things that we
(15:55):
take for granted. You know, a guy gets sent to
prison and comes out in ten years where they talk
about it, the simple pleasures, things I took for granted
that were taken away. It is not until you visit
those country spaces you don't think that the people who
live in those countries share those values. In most cases,
grown weave is they do. They can't even help it.
It's mother's milk. It's all the tower of weaver of.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
You can be in the middle of the hurricane, or
you can be on a calm day. North is still North.
You could be in a thunderstorm. North is still North.
People can yell at you. North is still North. It
doesn't change fundamental things. And in this business, right is
still right, even if you stand by.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yourself autism claims to medicate in Minnesota twenty eighteen, three
million dollars. Then something happened. In twenty nineteen, it went
to fifty four million dollars. Is autism contagious? Are we
(17:09):
bringing in more people with autism? So from three million
to fifty four million overnight of your federal dollars going
to Minneapolis for autism for Somalis, then in twenty twenty
three million turned into seventy seven million. That's nothing. In
twenty twenty one, the first year of the Biden administration,
(17:31):
it went to one hundred eighty three million. From three
million to one hundred eighty three million. There must have
been a whole lot of autism amongst the Somalis. But
now at least, and now at least we're treating it
with one hundred eighty three million dollars. Oh no, no, no,
we didn't begin to scratch the surface. In twenty twenty two,
(17:52):
two hundred and seventy nine million dollars. Wow, ae hundred
fold increase two hundred and seventy nine million dollars. Well,
at least the Somalis are getting help for all the
autism they clearly have that rights itself, doesn't it. Somalis
(18:17):
have a lot of autism, I mean clearly then twenty
twenty three, three hundred and ninety nine million, Oh, go
ahead and round that up like the coffee shop for charity,
one hundred and thirty three times as much money in
(18:39):
less than a five year period. You know what happened
during that time? The Somalis got very politically powerful. They organized,
and so the white liberals understood, the only way we
can survive. Jacob fry Right, the mayor, Tim Wallas, the governor,
(19:03):
understood eventually there'll be no addict to hide in. Eventually
they were overwhelm us. But in the meantime, I will
buy their votes because I can't afford to white people.
They vote based on good government. And you know those
(19:26):
white Scandinavian farmers, those self reliant independent people who made
Minnesota such a great state. What do you think of
when you think of Minnesota? You go Minnesota, you think
of that accent. You're never really sure that the difference between
Minnesota and Wisconsin, except Minnesota's are really nice people. What
(19:51):
do you, honestly, what do you think of? What did
you think of? You thought of the old Chris Rock joke,
didn't you ay, but two blacks in Minnesota, Kirby, Pucket
and Prince. And then he thought, huh, I wonder what
that's like. It's all white Scandinavian. Minneapolis was a very
(20:13):
charming place, cold, brutally cold. When Chris Baker left here
and went to Minneapolis, and he was anchoring a show there,
and I had taken over our stations and I wanted
to wanted him to do an afternoon show for us
from two to four with Cynthia Hunt. And so I
(20:36):
called him and I said, how are things? He said,
it's crazy. Here, give me an example. Well, we go
ice fishing. I said, what does that look like? Is
exactly what you would expect in the movies or what
you've seen in the movies, like what William? You bring
in a lawn chair out and they've cut a hole
(20:58):
like in the cartoons, and you drop a line under
the water, and at some point there's a fish down
there that you can't see, and eventually you pull him
up and pull him out onto the ice. That's the
craziest damn thing you've ever heard of. But there became
an invasion. Use whatever word you wish the people from Somalia.
(21:24):
Now again we're going to talk in facts as much
as that obsessed people are going to talk in facts.
There are studies done on IQ and they are disturbing.
That suggests the average Somali's IQ would actually qualify for
(21:45):
what we used to call retardation in this country. I
think I saw that the number was sixty two, but
I'll check and I'll correct it if I'm wrong. If
somebody can send it to me. We've got good researchers.
The number was disturbingly low. Hundreds about normal. When you
get down at seventy and below, you're talking about whatever
(22:06):
word makes you happy. Lenny from of Mice and Men
are whatever you want, sling blade, whatever you want to
call it. Well, this is upsetting, This is racist, This
is mean, is it though? Is it is it racist
to say that Samoans are typically very large people? Now
(22:29):
that's not true. That I saw man it was Samoan
and he wasn't okay? Does that disprove the rule? When
you can't speak generally because of your fear of quote
unquote stereotyping, then you can't speak. And that's what we
have become. When I was running from er Agaance Bill White,
(22:51):
as the former state party chairman of the Democrat Party.
He was so worried he might offend the blacks, or
the gays, or the Hispanics or the white laborer that
he demand could not make a statement without a parenthetical
comment added to it. We're going to make the streets
of this city drivable again, not to say there's anything
(23:14):
wrong with people who walk, or with people who like potholes,
or with people who come from places that have lots
of potholes and think potholes are charming. When you are
afraid of what you believe. I can't tell you how
many people and I wish they wouldn't do it. I
really wish they wouldn't do it. Michael, I agree with
(23:37):
you wholeheartedly. I'm glad you say what you say, because
boy can't I I appreciate the candor, but why can't
you You think it's easier for me. Nobody's trying to
take your job, nobody's threatened by you, nobody's in nobody's
(24:00):
according everything you say and sending it to media matters
to just catch you one time, say that hard or
do it well. They're just they'll try to bait you
into say they're so desperately. Why can't if you believe
something to be true, why is it concerning that that
(24:20):
upsets someone? Glory for you?
Speaker 8 (24:22):
My brother in law murdered too Native American to.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Michael Berry showy, you have my attention, so importance on
re election and he's trailing in the polls. Current polling
has Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, in first place, followed
about ten points behind by six turn Senator. And you're
(24:52):
not leading with all those years in public service, with
all that money being spent, with all the free publicity.
The Attorney General is beating him badly, and one percentage
point behind. John Cornyn, who's in a distant second is
(25:13):
a congressman who's barely been in congress, Wesley Hunt. Name
ID in early polls and we're still early. Name ida
is everything. That's why incumbents always lead in the early polls,
because it's the name you know when they call someone.
(25:36):
And by the way, think about who answers a phone call.
We don't have a home phone. I know a lot
of people don't have a home phone. You can't get there.
They're not answering a poll. They don't trust it. It might
be some Nigerian dude or Somali. It's probably a scam.
So so you answer the poll and they go, who
(25:59):
would you like to vote for in this race? Guy's name?
You know, I don't know who else is running. I
don't know that person. I don't want to admit I
don't know that person. Is there anyone else running?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Oh? Uh, the first guy? Because you don't want to
say you don't want to be a man on the street.
On one of the comedy shows, Tom Green's gonna make
a joke about you. You don't even know who your
own congressman is, your own senator. So there's a bump
for just name id. His support is less than he's
(26:41):
going to get in the early poll because he's supposed
to be the only name. You know. The others haven't
had a chance to identify themselves. They haven't spent the
money explaining themselves, introducing themselves, telling you what they've done.
Rass Cordon's had the run of it for well over
two decades. So he's panicked because, damn it, he's never
(27:01):
been in the public in the private sector, and he
ain't about to start. Now. You might say, well, he's
an old man. He looks terrible. You have no idea
how bad he looks unless you've seen the commercial I'm
about to tell you or the post he put up.
This is the man who last year when Nicki Haley
announced John Cornyn coordinated that, he called a presser by
(27:26):
zoom to go on the record with every major newspaper
and television station in the state of Texas, and he
made the statement, Donald Trump's time has passed. America needs
to move on. You mean, the most popular president of
(27:47):
my lifetime, the guy who won in sixteen and won
again in twenty and you don't want him running in
twenty twenty four. Do you have a better candidate? Oh,
Nicky Haley, Uh got it. Creature hates Donald Trump. He
has said so behind closed doors. He called for him
not to run. He called for voters, and he was
(28:09):
saying this to the press. This wasn't a comment in
the old in the cloakroom, the old boy's room. No. No,
he wanted you to know his opinion on this matter.
He wanted to be clear what his opinion was. And
nowad he's running. Oh, he pictures himself reading the Art
of the Deal. Because people aren't supposed to know what
(28:30):
he's actually done, and said, Oh, there's John Cornyn reading
Donald Trump's book from nineteen eighty nine. He's there with
the president. You think he's there with the president. Yes,
he's reading his book. Oh you don't know how he's
there with the president. Oh really Yeah, here's a picture
of him in Houston where it says almost as if
he's written it. I got a chance to have a
(28:50):
Trump Burger today. There delicious. Well, thank you, Tony the Tiger.
You enjoyed your Trumper I did whilst reading my Art
of the Deal. Gotta be honest with it, darn birder
with seduci. It leaked onto the book, you know what
I mean. Had to lick it off. Didn't want to
smear the words because they're they're like the They're like
(29:12):
God's own to me. I got a red letter version
of the Art of the Deal to represent that this
was God's word to me, at least, may not be
to y'all. I don't know how much I don't. I
don't know a few people even like Donald Trump. I
tell you I do. I might be if I'm the
only one I hear loves Donald Trump, I'll be that man,
I'm stand alone loving Donald Trump. If loving Donald Trump
is wrong, I don't want to be right. Oh so
(29:35):
we got the book, and we got another one where
you're eating a Trump Burger, which later closed the Curse
of John Cornyn. Oh but we had the best one yet.
They cleared out BUCkies for him to stand in front
of the brass Bucky and there was there was old
John John Wayne mccorny, and he was in khakis just
(29:56):
like you, huh, and a button up shirt and a
ball cap because that's what you do, you wear tennis
shoes and khakis and a ball cap. The costume departments
put him all together. Oh yeah, go all right. And
he's stood next to BUCkies and he said, I'm here
at BUCkies. It's America. I love Bucky.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
I love I love a good road trip across Texas
where really yes also drives safe. Also, I was down
in South Texas with a bunch of Mexicans and he
rattled them off, Sanchez and Orties and Pena because I
gotta get that vote too. I'm not going to tell
you I felt sorry for him, because he is the problem.
(30:34):
But it was so bad, it was so painful. But
by God, you need to know you like BUCkies. You
like BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
He likes BUCkies, Donald Trump likes I mean, John Corny
likes BUCkies. He's willing to tell you. Maybe nobody else
likes BUCkies. He doesn't care. He's standing up for BUCkies.
Maybe this is a controversial position. Maybe other people want
to destroy BUCkies. Maybe he's only one who willing to stand,
(31:05):
but he'll do it. It's what kind of thing he is here.
He was in front of BUCkies. And you know, most
people in Texas disagreed with him, because you know, BUCkies
isn't popular or anything. But by God, he was standing
up for BUCkies because John Wayne mccornyan, over the Thanksgiving holidays,
was driving our state to visit BUCkies. By God, just like.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You, John Wayne mccordon spent the Thanksgiving holiday fighting for Texas.
We've told you for months now he shouldered to shoulder
toe to toe ninety seven point two percent of the
time with Donald J. Trump helping keep our borders safe.
John Wayne mccornan is Texas to the bone. That's why
he spent Thanksgiving at BUCkies standing shoulder to shoulder with
(31:47):
Bucky the Beaver, making sure his hired photographer got every
awkward angle. He spent hours shaking hands with people mass
exiting the bathrooms, all while wearing a cowboy hat, giant
beaver belt buckle, and sipping a big gulp cherry slushy
because he knows that's what Texans do. John Wayne mccornan
is a brisket connoisseur, so it's only natural that he
(32:08):
jumped behind the counter and served brisket sandwiches, all while
chatting that famous BUCkies antho fresh.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Fever on the board.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Uh sir, it's brisket weed. We don't serve beever eating.
Oh yeah right.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
John Wayne mcconnan finished his day at the car wash,
slowly moving his arm forward telling you to place your
car in neutral, and giggling as the BUCkies hologram logo
slowly moves across your wish
