Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time, time, tign time, luck and load. The Michael Varry
Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerrys Mother.
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Oh yes, it is. It's interesting to me to.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Think about that tune that one of the most cited
news stories of the week was President Trump's statement.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
After a movie director was killed, Rob b Reiner, as
if that was important, As if the president's comment was
important if he said he liked the Buffalo Bills more
than the Philadelphia Eagles, would that be important? Forty nine
ers over the Ravens important? Why is that so important?
(01:08):
Because we've created a whole cottage industry of outrage and
Republicans aren't imne from it. We've created and social media
has allowed this, it has enabled, it has empowered it
a situation where everybody gets to jump up and go
here's my opinion on the issue of the day. I'm
(01:32):
a b rate actor, I'm a former CNN anchor, I'm
a former senator, I'm a former Vice president, and I
condemn President Trump's comments on the death of Rob Reiner.
Duly noted, I was wondering what your thoughts were Why
(02:01):
does everybody feel they need to have an opinion on
everybody else's opinion. Donald Trump got slammed by Rob Reiner,
constantly calling him the nastiest of names. Donald Trump didn't
like him, and he said so even in death. He
didn't like him. But Michael, when somebody dies, you're supposed
(02:23):
to say they were great. You didn't do that with
Osama bin Laden. That's not the same thing. Why isn't it.
Why not you didn't do that with Hitler? You don't.
Nobody says, well, give Hitler a credit. At least he
killed Hitler, do they? Nobody gives Hitler credit? Should they?
(02:48):
He's dead? Don't speak ill of him? He's dead. No,
he performed bad deeds. Nobody says, well, you know Ted
Bundy all in all, good looking guy, made better looking
(03:09):
when Mark Harmon played him in the made for TV
special Law Judge said he would have made a good
lawyer if he hadn't, you know, messed up so bad.
Stop getting sucked into the trap that you need to
defend everything, Donald Trump says, because you don't. And the
(03:32):
people doing that, you know what they're doing. They're undercutting
the authority of Donald Trump. Do you know what Donald
Trump's authority is. He won seven swing states. He trounced
Kamala Harris in the election. The American people said we
want him to be president. They did not say we
(03:55):
want him to issue all statements on the death of
left wing directors. They did not say we love the
clothes he wears, or the way he combs his hair,
or the way he the cut of his jib, or
the way he ties his tie or the way he
plays golf. They elected him to be president. They gave
(04:17):
him an incredible power. They don't expect him to be perfect.
Nobody cares what he says about Rob Reiner, and the
only people who do are people who want to undercut
every other aspect of his presidency. Don't let them suck
you into it. And now, courtesy of the greatest executive
(04:39):
producer in all the land, chattacone knock and HESI, you're
we can be responsible when you go to the party.
Watch too many people ruin their careers at the Christmas party.
And it's always Steve in the County, who's the nicest
guy in the whole company. And he gets a few
drinks in him before you know it, he's dry. Humping
the CEO, his wife behind the drummer over to the side.
(05:03):
Just don't do it. Please know your limits. I've watched
it happen too many times.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Bombshell article published and Vanity Fair big profile.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It was eleven interviews that Susie Wiles gave.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The interview included Wiles calling Vice President jd Vance a
quote conspiracy theorist for a decade and saying President Trump
has an alcoholics personality is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There is a desperate need for every conservative, for every
Republican to be considered part of the group, to fit
in with the liberal media. People are all up.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
In arms because Atlanta Falcons running back John Robinson reference
the kids tackle football game.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's smear the queer if that is offensive to someone.
First of all, I don't think the word queer is
actually offensive to the problem is there are people who
try to make a name for themselves by creating a
tense moment. They just run around trying to cancel people
(06:01):
because the doings of the real world are not interesting enough.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
That was such a simpler time and place.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The legend Aaron Barker Bell days just like.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
The good old days.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's just perfect that's why it's just perfect and it's
exactly what you want if you're Blue Belt. Now let's
leave a side that they need to stop these stupid
new flavors. You need homemade vanilla and at Christmas time
you can do pistachio home. And that's about it.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Blue beltas just like the good old day.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Hell, yes, we're gonna take your ar fifteen oighty o baoh.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes, yes, yes yes. In the Senate race to replace
John Cornyan, the current Republican senator who's running third in
the Republican primary which will be in March in Texas.
On the Democrats side, the big prize is this Senate. See,
they've got Jazzy Jasmine Crockett. She's getting the most media attention.
(07:22):
And in fact, with it being time for a Christmas Carol,
we got to thinking about the ghost of Christmas past,
and what if that ghost were to visit Jazzy Jasmine Crockett,
who would it be?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Oh my tie running around chasing all these people for
the votes.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Too much work, just showed him money already. Just need
a good, nice sleep. Damn you'll be.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Getting cold up in here. All of the sudden moth
sided dog Jack is that Jim, she got a Jackson lead.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
What'd you do a floating around my bedroom looking all white?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'd be the ghost of Christmas past, and I'm gonna
see it. You have done well so far, oh young woman,
but the game has only started to begun. My advice
to you find every camera, cram into every first.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Clad season, and cash every damn check you soon and
we it's never gonna get too high. Remember it's never
too black, and ghetto is forever your guidance. Tomorrow you
shall get a visit from the ghost of Christmas is present.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Now excuse me, Lucifer is hosting a dinner and I
demand a front tav Okay, then thanks Tina Jackson Leo
until I've read he's still my beach.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Something strange in neighborhood. Who you're gonna call God. We've
talked a lot about Jasmine Crockett getting the most media
attention because she's the biggest train wreck. But there's a
white liberal running in second place who was the heir apparent,
the Little Beto, the Betito. He is her opponent in
(09:02):
the upcoming primary. He's a touch more polished than her.
Think Gavin Newsom and Beto O'Rourke had a child while
having a threesome with Pete Buttergig and you'll come up
with James Tallerico. He was on a web series called
The Surrounded when he said he's against amnesty for illegals
(09:25):
because that way the conservative Democrats, a few that there
are working class Democrats go oh, he's against it, all right.
He said he's against it, and then he proceeded to
lay out an amnesty plan. This is what they do.
I don't want to just give a bunch of money
to people who don't work. What I want to do
is and then they talk about how they're going to
(09:46):
give away a bunch of money to people who don't work.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I will say what I think. Not enough Democrats have
been willing to say. Joe Biden failed us on our
southern borter. I believe in porters, yeah, and I don't
believe in amnesty. Let's take the vargases. We were talking
about how they are sympathetic hardworking small business owners in
our community. They've been here for decades. There needs to
be a path to citizenship that is not the same
(10:09):
thing as amnesty, because you're right, path no, and that's
the problem. We've got millions of people who are living
here in the shadows, and there is no path for
them to actually come into compliance, which I want them
to do. I'm a law and order democrat. I believe
that laws matter and there's be consequences for breaking the
law out Okay, So here's what I will say, Tyler.
We do recognize in our legal system, but there are
(10:30):
different punishments for different kinds of offenses. There are civil
offenses like being here without documentation. There are criminal offenses
like murdering raping someone, and those things are treated differently,
and so in my mind, and again I'm open to
negotiating how the details work, but there needs to be
in broad strokes, a pathway to citizenship where they pay
a fine for being here without documentation or crossing the
(10:53):
border illegally.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
There should be some penalty for that. I'm not disagreeing.
They should also have to pay back taxes.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Again, immigrants, documented demigrants in particular pay a lot of
taxes and don't get benefits in return, but they may
be missing some of those taxes because they weren't citizens.
They need to pay those back taxes and they need
to go through the citizenship process. They got to take
the learn about our government, They got to learn about
our culture. All that is so important. If they do
all those things and they've been here a long time
(11:20):
and they've been contributing, I think they should be brought
in this so.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They go through the they need to go through the
immigration process.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
But then you just told me a minute ago that
there is no immigration process that they can't become.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm talking about creating one. So while James Tolerrigo is
repackaging himself for illegal aliens, the hood Rack Congressman continues
the fallacy that not all crimes are criminal. This is
Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, take it away.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
I don't want anybody to mistake what I'm saying. Just
because you are impoverished does not mean that you will
be a criminal. But I do want to be clear
that there is a direct link between poverty and susceptibility
to having to engage in certain things. And this is
something that I know up quotes and personal as a
(12:06):
public defender. In fact, my elected prosecutor in Dallas County,
he kind of caught some flat because he probably shouldn't
have said it out loud, but he specifically said if
I get people that are getting charged with a low
level misdemeanor for going and still in food, diapers, like
(12:29):
basic necessities because they literally can't afford it. He's like, yeah,
He's like, I'm not locking you up, right, and granted,
like there is no good point in doing it because
a decent defense attorney would have a defense. Right that
there's a defense that we have on the book, so
we you know, go and try the case. Right, But
like most people didn't understand. They're like, oh, he telling
(12:51):
everybody to go steal. And I'm like, that's not what
he was doing, but like, okay, And so I want
people to understand that there are crimes that are committed
not because people are criminals, but because they literally are
trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, a Republican, is horrible with votes
but really good with quotes. In fact, a lot of
people think he's a good, solid conservative Republican because he
has clever quotes, But just look at how he votes
you'll be sadly disappointed. He was on Fox News with
Laura Trump when Jazzy Crockett's name came up, and he
(13:28):
says she needs to stop listening to the voices in
her head. He is good with the quotes. I give
him that break the billionaires.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm done, She's done.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Senator.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Is she done?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Is she cooked?
Speaker 12 (13:40):
Is this going to happen?
Speaker 13 (13:40):
What do you think?
Speaker 14 (13:41):
Well, look, the Congress, this is a mirror Laura. As
you know, we all have the right to express our opinion.
You're not free if he can't say what you think.
And the congresswoman has the right to her opinion, but
I have the right to mine. And somebody needs to
tell the congresswoman it'll be in her best and need
to tell her that the voices in her head are
(14:03):
not real. She is wrong on every single issue. The
people of Texas will never embrace her message. I don't
know why she's doing this, but you know, you have
the right in America to do dumb things if you
want to, and she she will be leaving Congress and
as far as the other thirty folks that are leaving Congress, look,
(14:27):
I get it. I don't want anybody to be in Congress.
He doesn't want to be here. Because this stuff's working
for the America people. You've got to give it one
hundred and ten percent. So people are unhappy, you know,
don't let the door hit them on the butt on
the way out.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And listen to the Michael Berry Show. Good Not before
we turn our attention to ilhan Omar the Brother Marrier.
Nancy Pelosi was asked during a USA Today interview what
(15:04):
her biggest career disappointment was, and she said, guns.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
And what's been your biggest disappointment? My disappointment, I always
have it, I'll never give up on It is gun
a four guns, guns that children would be dying in
a classroom, that families, just the saddest thing.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
But it's about two things.
Speaker 15 (15:31):
That politicians should think that their political survival is more
important than their survival of children and families.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
In our country, and that the gun industry.
Speaker 15 (15:41):
I'm not talking about lobbyists here, I'm talking about the
gun industry with the endless big money just deciding that
they are going to have it their way at the
cost of lives in our country so they can make
a profit. And it's a global shoe too. And you
understand that guns are very a border issue as well,
(16:05):
but they don't care. They just care about making money.
So it's money and power and kids pay the price.
And then she should know the price.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
She knows she's lying there. She knows it good and well.
Most crime that occurs in the United States occurs in
an urban environment, a big city, and especially gun crimes,
and most of those gun crimes are committed by felons,
by guys that have a long rap sheet. They've been
(16:36):
in and out of youth facilities and prisons since they
were ten, eleven, twelve years old, some of them with
a rap sheet of twenty thirty forty one hundred arrests
over the years. They've beaten up their baby mamas. They've
put a gun in somebody's face and stolen their car.
They've broken into houses, they've broken into businesses, uplifted, they've trespassed.
(17:04):
Many of them have served time, and when they get
out they are never allowed to own a gun again.
But they can't commit crimes without guns, so they come
into possession of guns, and then they're caught committing another crime. Boom,
(17:25):
that's a felon in possession. Now you've got him now,
regardless of the underlying crime. A felon in possession, there's
your crime to send him back to the cage where
he stays forever. If criminals feared that the commission of
(17:51):
a crime with a weapon would send them back to
prison for life. They would not do it.
Speaker 11 (17:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The thought is, well, they're too stupid to know any better. No, no, no,
they know the laws, they know what they can get
away with. They learn, they pass information on the streets.
I have talked to more urban police departments, big city
municipal police departments, Houston Police Department, and officers across the country,
(18:25):
and they will tell you that when a bad guy
commits a crime with a gun, which they usually do,
they are a convicted felon, making them a felon in possession.
They cannot own a gun, they cannot possess a gun,
and that the district attorneys sorrows owned will not prosecute them.
(18:47):
There is your problem. Guns don't kill people. Bad people
kill people. And we all know this. We all know this,
Every single one of us knows this. They don't want
to do anything about it. They have no interest in
doing anything about it. This doesn't concern them. They have
(19:09):
an interest in continuing to claim there's a problem. Look
at the border. Leave the Democrats out of this for
a moment. Republicans told you for decades we couldn't do
anything about the border. Reagan gave amnesty. You go back
and look at Reagan's comments when he gave amnesty to
(19:34):
millions of people. This was going to be the end
of it. Well, of course that wasn't the end of it.
If you want to look at outcomes, look at the incentives.
When you told people, hey, all the people that broke in,
they got to stay, what message do you think that conveyed, Oh,
(19:55):
we better go break him. We weren't rewarded for staying here.
The people who got to be citizens are the people
who broke in. We were following the law, staying here,
waiting our turn, and we didn't get in. Let's go
break in. That's what happens. Heck, that's been the case
(20:17):
since you were a kid. If bad behaviors are rewarded
and good behaviors are not, you will incentivize bad behaviors.
Every economist will tell you that incentives drive results. So
Republican congressman and senators for years would keep promising you,
(20:39):
we're going to secure that dad burned border. Democrats don't
want us to, but we're going to secure it. Trump
showed you could secure the border. Wasn't even that hard.
He did it overnight. Now what's happened. Now, what's happened?
We're not seeing Gilian's coming in here. He said he
(21:02):
was going to stop the Narco terrace. You didn't have
to bomb hundreds of them. They're not getting in that
boat knowing they're going to be blasted. There's no amount
of money they can give those people to convince them
to do it. But here we are, We're a year
into it, and other than Trump's executive orders, what do
(21:26):
we have to show for what we've done? Trump's approval
rating is forty three point seven at the eleven month mark.
Eleven month mark forty three point seven. Obama's at the
eleven month mark of his second term was forty two
point six. Bush at the eleven month mark of his
(21:50):
second term forty two point five. So Trump is more
popular at this point than either Obama or Bush, making
him the most popular president of the twenty first century
in his second term. But what have the Republicans done
(22:13):
with their majority in the House and the Senate? How
many of the activist judges have been impeached?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
None?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
National voter ID law, nothing, proof of citizenship law for
nationwide elections. Nothing. Abolishing the filibuster. Nothing. It can't even
censure ilan Omar, not that a censure would matter. Nothing.
(22:41):
Why did we work so hard to get this majority?
What have they done with it? Squandered it? Now they're
going to begin twenty twenty six campaigning that they will
do what they have done if you'll send them back,
(23:06):
good grief. If a woman stayed in the marriage with
a man who lied like this, we'd call her a fool.
This is embarrassing. Every single Republican should be a shoe.
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A
(23:27):
depression is when you lose your Michael Berry, and recovery
is when Jimmy Carter loses his ilan Omar is a
good representative of the Somalis in Mogadishue, Minnesota, because she
is a fraud and they have engaged in wide scale
(23:48):
fraud in Minnesota. In fact, when she was asked by
CBS News Minneapolis whether or not she had married her brother,
she was lying. Then everybody knows.
Speaker 13 (24:03):
They came to the United States at the age of twelve,
gained my citizenship at the age of seventeen, and I
am like the representative in the House of Congress and
so the House.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Of Representatives in Congress.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
And so for me, you know, I look at it
as a display of his ignorance, and I see it
as a national embarrassment that he continues to say those
kind of things even though he does know what the
truth is.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yes, simply calling out the truth is a national embarrassment.
It's impolite. See, we're supposed to let it continue. But
what about the fraud. What about the fraud on such
a scale that it has to be a conspiracy. She
was on a podcast called Democracy Ish and she says
(24:56):
Trump has a creepy obsession with her and Somali's. No,
he has an obsession with protecting our country from a
cancer that has invaded.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The comments are are vile.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
And you know, this unhealthy, creepy obsession that he has
on me and the Somali community is just very disturbing.
As probably your wife knows, Somali's are very much resilient
and strong people. And I saw you tweet about the
fact that you didn't know how humorous we would.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The troll game is amazing, Mashalla. The Somali troll game
is a plus.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So I mean, we we are we are coping with
mocking them back.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
I mean, you know, you don't you don't allow the
words of a senile, draged person have an impact on you.
You know, we were raised from young age that you
don't allow bullies to get to you. And you know,
to us, it's just it's it's ridiculous, Like it's hard
(26:07):
to make sense of. We feel embarrassed for him and
for America.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
This is supposed to be the leader of our nation
and as some will say, the leader of the flea world.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But he is acting like he is, you know, on
a school yard.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Calling people names, and you would actually get suspended even
if he behaves on a school yard.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
And so there is there's no way to like analyze
or think or sit with it. You just gotta like laugh,
you know, tell him the f off and go about
your day, because.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That is, at least for us, that's the Somali way.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The Left has been trying to rewrite American history for decades.
The latest claim is that it was Somali's who built
this country. We keep hearing that. Well, Michael Knowles did
a little research. Michael Knowles does his own podcast. He's
(27:15):
with the Daily Wire. Uh. He and I share a
passion or a good cigar on an all too frequent basis,
and Michael Knowles did this is a longer clip than
we would normally play. But I think you did a
really really good job of laying this out, and I
(27:36):
don't think I could do it any better. You got
to go watch the video because video is a is
a great pairing with it. But I think the audio
will make the point that it was not Somali's who
in any way built America. And here are the receipts,
as the kids would say.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Democrat Congresswoman Promila Jayapaul recently claimed that immigrants from Somali
built this country, the United States of America. Immigrants have
built this country from all over the world, Somalia, India,
wherever they're from. It's a strange claim, since the Americas
were discovered by Christopher Columbus in fourteen ninety two, settled
(28:15):
by the Virginia Company at Jamestown in sixteen oh seven,
then settled in New England by the Pilgrims on the
Mayflower in sixteen twenty. Found it as a cohesive nation
through the Revolutionary War. Between seventeen seventy five and seventeen
eighty three and governed by the Constitution, which was ratified
in seventeen eighty eight, all of which occurred between one
hundred and thirty two and four hundred and twenty eight
(28:35):
years before the first documented Somali arrived in the nineteen twenties.
When Somalis did finally make it over here in the twenties,
it was not by the millions, or by the thousands,
or even by the hundreds. It was by the dozens
and fuls of sailors, so minuscule that they barely even
appear in the historical record. In the nineteen fifties, as
(28:57):
Somali territories moved toward independence after decades of colonial government
by the British, the French, and the Italians, some Somali
students attended American universities. Again, we're talking about a vanishingly
small number of Somalis visiting and studying in the United States.
Even after the Heartseller Act of nineteen sixty five radically
(29:17):
transformed America's immigration system, inaugurating the policy of mass migration
that persists to this day, Somalis still barely came to
the United States. In nineteen sixty nine, the Somali Republic
collapsed after only nine years of existence, giving way to
the Marxist Leninist Somali Democratic Republic. Even then, only a
minuscule number of Somalis made it to America. By nineteen ninety, one,
(29:41):
year before the collapse of the Somali Democratic Republic, fewer
than twenty one hundred Somali natives lived in the United States.
That all changed in nineteen ninety one, when civil war
and state failure sent hundreds of thousands of Somali's fleeing.
The US had adopted a new policy welcoming political refugees
(30:01):
in nineteen eighty, over two centuries after the founding of
the American nation and three hundred and sixty years after
the landing of the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor. For those
who were keeping count, so by twenty eleven, nearly one
hundred thousand Somalis had been welcomed into the United States
as refugees. What exactly did they build in America? They
didn't sign the Declaration of Independence. They didn't build our
(30:24):
military or found any universities, or make any of the
discoveries or invent any of the inventions that made America
a global superpower and gave us the American Century. They
weren't even here when all that stuff happened, but that
doesn't mean they haven't built anything. When Somalis began arriving
in the nineteen nineties and two thousands, they built mosques
(30:46):
and Islamic centers and Kuronic schools. They opened halal shops
and grocery stores that sent remittances back to Somalia. Beyond
these legal or at least semi legal businesses, the major
source of remittances to Somalia has been the American taxpayer,
because the most impressive institution that Somalis have built in
(31:08):
the United States is the kind of community group that
perpetrated one of the most expansive cases of welfare fraud
in American history. Thanks to reporting by Ryan Thorpe and
Christopher Rufote City Journal, we now know that Somali criminals
stole billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars during just a
single mubernatorial administration in Minnesota alone. Much of that money
(31:31):
went straight back to Somalia, with at least some of
it ending up in the hands of the Islamic terrorist
group Al Shabab. According to a twenty twenty four report,
remittances from abroad, and especially from the United States, today
account for between thirty and fifty percent of the Somalian economy.
In other words, Somalis didn't build America. They've never really
(31:52):
contributed anything to America. But they have managed to take, steal,
and transfer enough wealth from America that, inasmuch as Somalia
exists today as a nation at all, America built Somalia.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
MHM
Time, time, tign time, luck and load. The Michael Varry
Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerrys Mother.
I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Oh yes, it is. It's interesting to me to.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Think about that tune that one of the most cited
news stories of the week was President Trump's statement.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
After a movie director was killed, Rob b Reiner, as
if that was important, As if the president's comment was
important if he said he liked the Buffalo Bills more
than the Philadelphia Eagles, would that be important? Forty nine
ers over the Ravens important? Why is that so important?
(01:08):
Because we've created a whole cottage industry of outrage and
Republicans aren't imne from it. We've created and social media
has allowed this, it has enabled, it has empowered it
a situation where everybody gets to jump up and go
here's my opinion on the issue of the day. I'm
(01:32):
a b rate actor, I'm a former CNN anchor, I'm
a former senator, I'm a former Vice president, and I
condemn President Trump's comments on the death of Rob Reiner.
Duly noted, I was wondering what your thoughts were Why
(02:01):
does everybody feel they need to have an opinion on
everybody else's opinion. Donald Trump got slammed by Rob Reiner,
constantly calling him the nastiest of names. Donald Trump didn't
like him, and he said so even in death. He
didn't like him. But Michael, when somebody dies, you're supposed
(02:23):
to say they were great. You didn't do that with
Osama bin Laden. That's not the same thing. Why isn't it.
Why not you didn't do that with Hitler? You don't.
Nobody says, well, give Hitler a credit. At least he
killed Hitler, do they? Nobody gives Hitler credit? Should they?
(02:48):
He's dead? Don't speak ill of him? He's dead. No,
he performed bad deeds. Nobody says, well, you know Ted
Bundy all in all, good looking guy, made better looking
(03:09):
when Mark Harmon played him in the made for TV
special Law Judge said he would have made a good
lawyer if he hadn't, you know, messed up so bad.
Stop getting sucked into the trap that you need to
defend everything, Donald Trump says, because you don't. And the
(03:32):
people doing that, you know what they're doing. They're undercutting
the authority of Donald Trump. Do you know what Donald
Trump's authority is. He won seven swing states. He trounced
Kamala Harris in the election. The American people said we
want him to be president. They did not say we
(03:55):
want him to issue all statements on the death of
left wing directors. They did not say we love the
clothes he wears, or the way he combs his hair,
or the way he the cut of his jib, or
the way he ties his tie or the way he
plays golf. They elected him to be president. They gave
(04:17):
him an incredible power. They don't expect him to be perfect.
Nobody cares what he says about Rob Reiner, and the
only people who do are people who want to undercut
every other aspect of his presidency. Don't let them suck
you into it. And now, courtesy of the greatest executive
(04:39):
producer in all the land, chattacone knock and HESI, you're
we can be responsible when you go to the party.
Watch too many people ruin their careers at the Christmas party.
And it's always Steve in the County, who's the nicest
guy in the whole company. And he gets a few
drinks in him before you know it, he's dry. Humping
the CEO, his wife behind the drummer over to the side.
(05:03):
Just don't do it. Please know your limits. I've watched
it happen too many times.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Bombshell article published and Vanity Fair big profile.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It was eleven interviews that Susie Wiles gave.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The interview included Wiles calling Vice President jd Vance a
quote conspiracy theorist for a decade and saying President Trump
has an alcoholics personality is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There is a desperate need for every conservative, for every
Republican to be considered part of the group, to fit
in with the liberal media. People are all up.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
In arms because Atlanta Falcons running back John Robinson reference
the kids tackle football game.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's smear the queer if that is offensive to someone.
First of all, I don't think the word queer is
actually offensive to the problem is there are people who
try to make a name for themselves by creating a
tense moment. They just run around trying to cancel people
(06:01):
because the doings of the real world are not interesting enough.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
That was such a simpler time and place.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The legend Aaron Barker Bell days just like.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
The good old days.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's just perfect that's why it's just perfect and it's
exactly what you want if you're Blue Belt. Now let's
leave a side that they need to stop these stupid
new flavors. You need homemade vanilla and at Christmas time
you can do pistachio home. And that's about it.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Blue beltas just like the good old day.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Hell, yes, we're gonna take your ar fifteen oighty o baoh.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes, yes, yes yes. In the Senate race to replace
John Cornyan, the current Republican senator who's running third in
the Republican primary which will be in March in Texas.
On the Democrats side, the big prize is this Senate. See,
they've got Jazzy Jasmine Crockett. She's getting the most media attention.
(07:22):
And in fact, with it being time for a Christmas Carol,
we got to thinking about the ghost of Christmas past,
and what if that ghost were to visit Jazzy Jasmine Crockett,
who would it be?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Oh my tie running around chasing all these people for
the votes.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Too much work, just showed him money already. Just need
a good, nice sleep. Damn you'll be.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Getting cold up in here. All of the sudden moth
sided dog Jack is that Jim, she got a Jackson lead.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
What'd you do a floating around my bedroom looking all white?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
I'd be the ghost of Christmas past, and I'm gonna
see it. You have done well so far, oh young woman,
but the game has only started to begun. My advice
to you find every camera, cram into every first.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Clad season, and cash every damn check you soon and
we it's never gonna get too high. Remember it's never
too black, and ghetto is forever your guidance. Tomorrow you
shall get a visit from the ghost of Christmas is present.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Now excuse me, Lucifer is hosting a dinner and I
demand a front tav Okay, then thanks Tina Jackson Leo
until I've read he's still my beach.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Something strange in neighborhood. Who you're gonna call God. We've
talked a lot about Jasmine Crockett getting the most media
attention because she's the biggest train wreck. But there's a
white liberal running in second place who was the heir apparent,
the Little Beto, the Betito. He is her opponent in
(09:02):
the upcoming primary. He's a touch more polished than her.
Think Gavin Newsom and Beto O'Rourke had a child while
having a threesome with Pete Buttergig and you'll come up
with James Tallerico. He was on a web series called
The Surrounded when he said he's against amnesty for illegals
(09:25):
because that way the conservative Democrats, a few that there
are working class Democrats go oh, he's against it, all right.
He said he's against it, and then he proceeded to
lay out an amnesty plan. This is what they do.
I don't want to just give a bunch of money
to people who don't work. What I want to do
is and then they talk about how they're going to
(09:46):
give away a bunch of money to people who don't work.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I will say what I think. Not enough Democrats have
been willing to say. Joe Biden failed us on our
southern borter. I believe in porters, yeah, and I don't
believe in amnesty. Let's take the vargases. We were talking
about how they are sympathetic hardworking small business owners in
our community. They've been here for decades. There needs to
be a path to citizenship that is not the same
(10:09):
thing as amnesty, because you're right, path no, and that's
the problem. We've got millions of people who are living
here in the shadows, and there is no path for
them to actually come into compliance, which I want them
to do. I'm a law and order democrat. I believe
that laws matter and there's be consequences for breaking the
law out Okay, So here's what I will say, Tyler.
We do recognize in our legal system, but there are
(10:30):
different punishments for different kinds of offenses. There are civil
offenses like being here without documentation. There are criminal offenses
like murdering raping someone, and those things are treated differently,
and so in my mind, and again I'm open to
negotiating how the details work, but there needs to be
in broad strokes, a pathway to citizenship where they pay
a fine for being here without documentation or crossing the
(10:53):
border illegally.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
There should be some penalty for that. I'm not disagreeing.
They should also have to pay back taxes.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Again, immigrants, documented demigrants in particular pay a lot of
taxes and don't get benefits in return, but they may
be missing some of those taxes because they weren't citizens.
They need to pay those back taxes and they need
to go through the citizenship process. They got to take
the learn about our government, They got to learn about
our culture. All that is so important. If they do
all those things and they've been here a long time
(11:20):
and they've been contributing, I think they should be brought
in this so.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They go through the they need to go through the
immigration process.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
But then you just told me a minute ago that
there is no immigration process that they can't become.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm talking about creating one. So while James Tolerrigo is
repackaging himself for illegal aliens, the hood Rack Congressman continues
the fallacy that not all crimes are criminal. This is
Jazzy Jasmine Crockett, take it away.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
I don't want anybody to mistake what I'm saying. Just
because you are impoverished does not mean that you will
be a criminal. But I do want to be clear
that there is a direct link between poverty and susceptibility
to having to engage in certain things. And this is
something that I know up quotes and personal as a
(12:06):
public defender. In fact, my elected prosecutor in Dallas County,
he kind of caught some flat because he probably shouldn't
have said it out loud, but he specifically said if
I get people that are getting charged with a low
level misdemeanor for going and still in food, diapers, like
(12:29):
basic necessities because they literally can't afford it. He's like, yeah,
He's like, I'm not locking you up, right, and granted,
like there is no good point in doing it because
a decent defense attorney would have a defense. Right that
there's a defense that we have on the book, so
we you know, go and try the case. Right, But
like most people didn't understand. They're like, oh, he telling
(12:51):
everybody to go steal. And I'm like, that's not what
he was doing, but like, okay, And so I want
people to understand that there are crimes that are committed
not because people are criminals, but because they literally are
trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, a Republican, is horrible with votes
but really good with quotes. In fact, a lot of
people think he's a good, solid conservative Republican because he
has clever quotes, But just look at how he votes
you'll be sadly disappointed. He was on Fox News with
Laura Trump when Jazzy Crockett's name came up, and he
(13:28):
says she needs to stop listening to the voices in
her head. He is good with the quotes. I give
him that break the billionaires.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm done, She's done.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Senator.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Is she done?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Is she cooked?
Speaker 12 (13:40):
Is this going to happen?
Speaker 13 (13:40):
What do you think?
Speaker 14 (13:41):
Well, look, the Congress, this is a mirror Laura. As
you know, we all have the right to express our opinion.
You're not free if he can't say what you think.
And the congresswoman has the right to her opinion, but
I have the right to mine. And somebody needs to
tell the congresswoman it'll be in her best and need
to tell her that the voices in her head are
(14:03):
not real. She is wrong on every single issue. The
people of Texas will never embrace her message. I don't
know why she's doing this, but you know, you have
the right in America to do dumb things if you
want to, and she she will be leaving Congress and
as far as the other thirty folks that are leaving Congress, look,
(14:27):
I get it. I don't want anybody to be in Congress.
He doesn't want to be here. Because this stuff's working
for the America people. You've got to give it one
hundred and ten percent. So people are unhappy, you know,
don't let the door hit them on the butt on
the way out.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And listen to the Michael Berry Show. Good Not before
we turn our attention to ilhan Omar the Brother Marrier.
Nancy Pelosi was asked during a USA Today interview what
(15:04):
her biggest career disappointment was, and she said, guns.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
And what's been your biggest disappointment? My disappointment, I always
have it, I'll never give up on It is gun
a four guns, guns that children would be dying in
a classroom, that families, just the saddest thing.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
But it's about two things.
Speaker 15 (15:31):
That politicians should think that their political survival is more
important than their survival of children and families.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
In our country, and that the gun industry.
Speaker 15 (15:41):
I'm not talking about lobbyists here, I'm talking about the
gun industry with the endless big money just deciding that
they are going to have it their way at the
cost of lives in our country so they can make
a profit. And it's a global shoe too. And you
understand that guns are very a border issue as well,
(16:05):
but they don't care. They just care about making money.
So it's money and power and kids pay the price.
And then she should know the price.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
She knows she's lying there. She knows it good and well.
Most crime that occurs in the United States occurs in
an urban environment, a big city, and especially gun crimes,
and most of those gun crimes are committed by felons,
by guys that have a long rap sheet. They've been
(16:36):
in and out of youth facilities and prisons since they
were ten, eleven, twelve years old, some of them with
a rap sheet of twenty thirty forty one hundred arrests
over the years. They've beaten up their baby mamas. They've
put a gun in somebody's face and stolen their car.
They've broken into houses, they've broken into businesses, uplifted, they've trespassed.
(17:04):
Many of them have served time, and when they get
out they are never allowed to own a gun again.
But they can't commit crimes without guns, so they come
into possession of guns, and then they're caught committing another crime. Boom,
(17:25):
that's a felon in possession. Now you've got him now,
regardless of the underlying crime. A felon in possession, there's
your crime to send him back to the cage where
he stays forever. If criminals feared that the commission of
(17:51):
a crime with a weapon would send them back to
prison for life. They would not do it.
Speaker 11 (17:58):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The thought is, well, they're too stupid to know any better. No, no, no,
they know the laws, they know what they can get
away with. They learn, they pass information on the streets.
I have talked to more urban police departments, big city
municipal police departments, Houston Police Department, and officers across the country,
(18:25):
and they will tell you that when a bad guy
commits a crime with a gun, which they usually do,
they are a convicted felon, making them a felon in possession.
They cannot own a gun, they cannot possess a gun,
and that the district attorneys sorrows owned will not prosecute them.
(18:47):
There is your problem. Guns don't kill people. Bad people
kill people. And we all know this. We all know this,
Every single one of us knows this. They don't want
to do anything about it. They have no interest in
doing anything about it. This doesn't concern them. They have
(19:09):
an interest in continuing to claim there's a problem. Look
at the border. Leave the Democrats out of this for
a moment. Republicans told you for decades we couldn't do
anything about the border. Reagan gave amnesty. You go back
and look at Reagan's comments when he gave amnesty to
(19:34):
millions of people. This was going to be the end
of it. Well, of course that wasn't the end of it.
If you want to look at outcomes, look at the incentives.
When you told people, hey, all the people that broke in,
they got to stay, what message do you think that conveyed, Oh,
(19:55):
we better go break him. We weren't rewarded for staying here.
The people who got to be citizens are the people
who broke in. We were following the law, staying here,
waiting our turn, and we didn't get in. Let's go
break in. That's what happens. Heck, that's been the case
(20:17):
since you were a kid. If bad behaviors are rewarded
and good behaviors are not, you will incentivize bad behaviors.
Every economist will tell you that incentives drive results. So
Republican congressman and senators for years would keep promising you,
(20:39):
we're going to secure that dad burned border. Democrats don't
want us to, but we're going to secure it. Trump
showed you could secure the border. Wasn't even that hard.
He did it overnight. Now what's happened. Now, what's happened?
We're not seeing Gilian's coming in here. He said he
(21:02):
was going to stop the Narco terrace. You didn't have
to bomb hundreds of them. They're not getting in that
boat knowing they're going to be blasted. There's no amount
of money they can give those people to convince them
to do it. But here we are, We're a year
into it, and other than Trump's executive orders, what do
(21:26):
we have to show for what we've done? Trump's approval
rating is forty three point seven at the eleven month mark.
Eleven month mark forty three point seven. Obama's at the
eleven month mark of his second term was forty two
point six. Bush at the eleven month mark of his
(21:50):
second term forty two point five. So Trump is more
popular at this point than either Obama or Bush, making
him the most popular president of the twenty first century
in his second term. But what have the Republicans done
(22:13):
with their majority in the House and the Senate? How
many of the activist judges have been impeached?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
None?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
National voter ID law, nothing, proof of citizenship law for
nationwide elections. Nothing. Abolishing the filibuster. Nothing. It can't even
censure ilan Omar, not that a censure would matter. Nothing.
(22:41):
Why did we work so hard to get this majority?
What have they done with it? Squandered it? Now they're
going to begin twenty twenty six campaigning that they will
do what they have done if you'll send them back,
(23:06):
good grief. If a woman stayed in the marriage with
a man who lied like this, we'd call her a fool.
This is embarrassing. Every single Republican should be a shoe.
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A
(23:27):
depression is when you lose your Michael Berry, and recovery
is when Jimmy Carter loses his ilan Omar is a
good representative of the Somalis in Mogadishue, Minnesota, because she
is a fraud and they have engaged in wide scale
(23:48):
fraud in Minnesota. In fact, when she was asked by
CBS News Minneapolis whether or not she had married her brother,
she was lying. Then everybody knows.
Speaker 13 (24:03):
They came to the United States at the age of twelve,
gained my citizenship at the age of seventeen, and I
am like the representative in the House of Congress and
so the House.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Of Representatives in Congress.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
And so for me, you know, I look at it
as a display of his ignorance, and I see it
as a national embarrassment that he continues to say those
kind of things even though he does know what the
truth is.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yes, simply calling out the truth is a national embarrassment.
It's impolite. See, we're supposed to let it continue. But
what about the fraud. What about the fraud on such
a scale that it has to be a conspiracy. She
was on a podcast called Democracy Ish and she says
(24:56):
Trump has a creepy obsession with her and Somali's. No,
he has an obsession with protecting our country from a
cancer that has invaded.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The comments are are vile.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
And you know, this unhealthy, creepy obsession that he has
on me and the Somali community is just very disturbing.
As probably your wife knows, Somali's are very much resilient
and strong people. And I saw you tweet about the
fact that you didn't know how humorous we would.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
The troll game is amazing, Mashalla. The Somali troll game
is a plus.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So I mean, we we are we are coping with
mocking them back.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
I mean, you know, you don't you don't allow the
words of a senile, draged person have an impact on you.
You know, we were raised from young age that you
don't allow bullies to get to you. And you know,
to us, it's just it's it's ridiculous, Like it's hard
(26:07):
to make sense of. We feel embarrassed for him and
for America.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
This is supposed to be the leader of our nation
and as some will say, the leader of the flea world.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But he is acting like he is, you know, on
a school yard.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Calling people names, and you would actually get suspended even
if he behaves on a school yard.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
And so there is there's no way to like analyze
or think or sit with it. You just gotta like laugh,
you know, tell him the f off and go about
your day, because.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That is, at least for us, that's the Somali way.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The Left has been trying to rewrite American history for decades.
The latest claim is that it was Somali's who built
this country. We keep hearing that. Well, Michael Knowles did
a little research. Michael Knowles does his own podcast. He's
(27:15):
with the Daily Wire. Uh. He and I share a
passion or a good cigar on an all too frequent basis,
and Michael Knowles did this is a longer clip than
we would normally play. But I think you did a
really really good job of laying this out, and I
(27:36):
don't think I could do it any better. You got
to go watch the video because video is a is
a great pairing with it. But I think the audio
will make the point that it was not Somali's who
in any way built America. And here are the receipts,
as the kids would say.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Democrat Congresswoman Promila Jayapaul recently claimed that immigrants from Somali
built this country, the United States of America. Immigrants have
built this country from all over the world, Somalia, India,
wherever they're from. It's a strange claim, since the Americas
were discovered by Christopher Columbus in fourteen ninety two, settled
(28:15):
by the Virginia Company at Jamestown in sixteen oh seven,
then settled in New England by the Pilgrims on the
Mayflower in sixteen twenty. Found it as a cohesive nation
through the Revolutionary War. Between seventeen seventy five and seventeen
eighty three and governed by the Constitution, which was ratified
in seventeen eighty eight, all of which occurred between one
hundred and thirty two and four hundred and twenty eight
(28:35):
years before the first documented Somali arrived in the nineteen twenties.
When Somalis did finally make it over here in the twenties,
it was not by the millions, or by the thousands,
or even by the hundreds. It was by the dozens
and fuls of sailors, so minuscule that they barely even
appear in the historical record. In the nineteen fifties, as
(28:57):
Somali territories moved toward independence after decades of colonial government
by the British, the French, and the Italians, some Somali
students attended American universities. Again, we're talking about a vanishingly
small number of Somalis visiting and studying in the United States.
Even after the Heartseller Act of nineteen sixty five radically
(29:17):
transformed America's immigration system, inaugurating the policy of mass migration
that persists to this day, Somalis still barely came to
the United States. In nineteen sixty nine, the Somali Republic
collapsed after only nine years of existence, giving way to
the Marxist Leninist Somali Democratic Republic. Even then, only a
minuscule number of Somalis made it to America. By nineteen ninety, one,
(29:41):
year before the collapse of the Somali Democratic Republic, fewer
than twenty one hundred Somali natives lived in the United States.
That all changed in nineteen ninety one, when civil war
and state failure sent hundreds of thousands of Somali's fleeing.
The US had adopted a new policy welcoming political refugees
(30:01):
in nineteen eighty, over two centuries after the founding of
the American nation and three hundred and sixty years after
the landing of the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor. For those
who were keeping count, so by twenty eleven, nearly one
hundred thousand Somalis had been welcomed into the United States
as refugees. What exactly did they build in America? They
didn't sign the Declaration of Independence. They didn't build our
(30:24):
military or found any universities, or make any of the
discoveries or invent any of the inventions that made America
a global superpower and gave us the American Century. They
weren't even here when all that stuff happened, but that
doesn't mean they haven't built anything. When Somalis began arriving
in the nineteen nineties and two thousands, they built mosques
(30:46):
and Islamic centers and Kuronic schools. They opened halal shops
and grocery stores that sent remittances back to Somalia. Beyond
these legal or at least semi legal businesses, the major
source of remittances to Somalia has been the American taxpayer,
because the most impressive institution that Somalis have built in
(31:08):
the United States is the kind of community group that
perpetrated one of the most expansive cases of welfare fraud
in American history. Thanks to reporting by Ryan Thorpe and
Christopher Rufote City Journal, we now know that Somali criminals
stole billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars during just a
single mubernatorial administration in Minnesota alone. Much of that money
(31:31):
went straight back to Somalia, with at least some of
it ending up in the hands of the Islamic terrorist
group Al Shabab. According to a twenty twenty four report,
remittances from abroad, and especially from the United States, today
account for between thirty and fifty percent of the Somalian economy.
In other words, Somalis didn't build America. They've never really
(31:52):
contributed anything to America. But they have managed to take, steal,
and transfer enough wealth from America that, inasmuch as Somalia
exists today as a nation at all, America built Somalia.
