Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Something must have happened. It's not you, it's me.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You're giving me the it's not you, it's me routine.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I invent that it's not you, it's me. Nobody tells
me it's them, not me. If it's anybody, it's me, George,
it's you. You're damn right, it's me.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Let's start with a new polling that shows the Democratic
Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The
latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of
registered voters fifty five percent have a negative view of
the party, while percent just over a quarter of registered
voters have a positive view of party. That's the party's
(01:18):
lowest rating in NBC News polling dating back to nineteen ninety. Meanwhile, though,
a new CNNSSRS poll finds the Democratic Party's favorability rating
at just twenty nine percent, a record low going back
to nineteen ninety two and a drop of twenty points
(01:40):
since January of twenty twenty one. What's more, just sixty
three percent of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents have a
favorable view of their own party, down nine points from
January and eighteen points from the start of the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
You know good, You know good, baby, you know good.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
You've been thinking to yourself. Democrats are worse than they've
ever been. This is beyond the pale craziness, nuttiness. Jasmine Crockett,
aoc Ayana Presley ilhan Omar, the sister uh the sister
(02:49):
wife of her Somali brother. These people are nuts, chopping
off kids, wieners, sending boys into the girls locker rooms
and boys onto the girls playing field where they're getting hurt,
releasing criminals. This is crazy. I'm living in crazy world. Well,
(03:14):
it turns out the polls reflect that your neighbors have noticed,
even your nice neighbor, the nice neighbor syndrome has even
caught up to this. Even the women, suburban women who
were such a problem to get to vote properly, because well,
(03:36):
we need Barack Obama, we need a black fellow. You know,
it'll give people hope, and we need a woman, it'll
give people hope. Well, it turns out that even the
most naive people, even those people you can't seem to
get to come around to your way of thinking. Are
(03:58):
responding to poles in a manner that said, yeah, we
know they're nuts. They're nuts. We believe you. We didn't
believe you. We thought maybe you were going too far,
but you're right, they are absolutely crazy. I saw a
poll yesterday that asked who best represents the Democrat Party
(04:20):
Democrat voters, and the number one on there was AOC.
Don't let that make you crazy, That should make you
extremely happy, extremely happy AOC at ten percent, and then
it went down from there. Gavin Newsom was I think
(04:41):
at four or six percent. The party is going to
try to reform, try to set some new guard rails,
try to get the agenda and the public appearances pushed
back to at least a more seemingly reason able, rational
(05:02):
group of people. Gavin Newsom is awful, but he can
present himself in ways that make people think, well, you know,
he might have you know, maybe he's learned his lesson.
Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all. AOC
is there for a purpose, and that is bomb throwing.
(05:26):
Jasmine Crockett, She's gone from absolute get over absolute normal
conversation to once she got elected, get over an acular.
It works, It works, look You might not have Larry
Flint over for Thanksgiving dinner with your family, but there
(05:48):
was a place for what he did. There was a niche.
And you may say, well, well that's not a good
niche to, or that's not a niche you know, I
won't around. It doesn't matter. There is a niche for that,
and that's what AOC represents, and that's what Jasmine Crockett represents.
And the media know what they're doing. See, they know
(06:11):
that she drives you crazy. They know that, and that
keeps you from being able to turn away. I've noticed
that for the media outlets that are struggling most, what
they appear to do now is their strategy is to
make moments that will go viral, so the view has
(06:34):
people on and whether the person is cussing them out,
or they're cussing the person out, or whether they're saying
they want to assassinate Trump or all men or devils,
or it doesn't matter what they do, as long as
each day there's something shocking enough that it will get
secondary and tertiary play on talk shows and Fox News
(06:56):
and other places that have real audiences because they can
cannot sustain it sitting around and talking about menopause and
hysterics and the vapors. So now it is it is
an actual strategy that they do this nonsense and then
you leave the Democrats. The Democrats are like addicts who
(07:17):
realize that they've hit rock bottom, and now they've got
to get together and fix this problem. Like a Democrat's
anonymous meeting.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Okay, folks, let's gather around here. Welcome to Democrats Anonymous,
the safe space where you could admit that you're losing elections,
embarrassing yourselves, and worst of all, filming tiktoks about it Democrats.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, who would like to go first? Mike?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I used to think defunding the police and shouting slogans
and brunch was a winning strategy. Now I realized voters
have jobs and mortgages, and well maybe, just maybe they
don't want to be lectured by a guy in a
cheg of R T shirt.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, whoa whoa, Mike, you saw like
a Republican?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
What are you take? An independent?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
No, no, I just think maybe if we didn't let
our interns run our pr strategy, here's the look at
our successes.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Hi, my name is Stacy, and I identify as a
cat and.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I am perfect.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I've got a question, what if we like focus on
jobs and lowering grocery prices today and that's today's lesson
and Democrats anonymous, you either keep dancing or you get
the move.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
DA or the Michael Barry Show to be part.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I'm gonna changed the name of the people involved in
this email, but I received an email czar. My name
is let's say Susie. I'm sixty seven years old and retired.
My son, let's say, Ramon is a janitor for the
US Post Office. He's been in a position of supervisor
and has trained people in the Post Office for supervisor positions.
(09:14):
Understand that he is still classified as a janitor. I'm
thinking that, with the stories he's told me on the
problems at the post Office, that Elon Musk would be
better off talking to the rank and file instead of
higher ups. He might get a better understanding of and
more information on better ways to run the US post Office.
I know that it's a shot in the dark, but
I thought i'd take a chance to suggest a way
that would give a better understanding on this matter. Thank
(09:36):
you for reading this message. I agree, but sort of
like turnaround agents. I've had some friends over the years
still do who private equity will come into a business,
and the best business is when you come in and
they're struggling, So there's a discount on the price and
(10:00):
you get a thumbnail sketch of what's wrong pretty quickly.
Either you're overloaded with debt, you have business units that
are not performing, your labor costs are too high, your
cost of goods are too high, your pension is too
high a percentage of your overall revenues. There are a
(10:24):
number of things like that. Maybe you've got litigation pending
that is eating through and that case needs to be settled.
Your burn rate is too high for what you're doing.
There are a number of different reasons that guys can
come in pretty quickly and pick off the low hanging
fruit of what the big problem is. That doesn't solve
the overall problems. That just deals with the first level.
(10:48):
Remember we haven't even hit two full months yet, so
your first order of business, because Elon's not going to
be there forever. I don't know how long Elon's going
to stay. If he he's there at the end of
the first year, I would be shocked, and you can
quote me on that. I hope I am shocked, but
I feel certain I won't be. First of all, he
(11:12):
has a short attention span. He likes to do a
lot of things, and he has been in whatever he's doing.
He does twenty four to seven. And you know, he
has made it a practice of his businesses that he'll
bring in a desk, and he'll bring in a sleeping
bag and he sleeps under his desk and he works
around the clock. On the Tesla floor, he walks. He
(11:34):
instead of executed, instead of an executive office, he put
his office down on the floor, no walls, so he
could walk over immediately and say, what's going on with
this crank shaft, what's going on with this particular piece
of the battery component, what's going on with this? And
he wanted his engineers brought down right next to manufacturing,
which they didn't like. They you know, like Harris County employees,
(11:57):
they like to not show up to work and have
a off, do some candy crush during the day, maybe
take a nap at their desk, and all of a sudden,
he wanted them right next to the floor so he
can say, hey, guys, come over here, look at this.
How do we fix this? This is a problem, this
keeps coming up. How do we solve this? That's his approach,
that intense approach. He's getting legitimate death threats constantly. He's
(12:19):
talked about it, and it's being reported. He obviously he
gets a lot of pushback in many different corners, and
he has become the focus of the anger to that extent.
He serves a great role for Trump is they started
focusing more on Elon than Trump, and I think part
of the reason there is they're scared to death of Elon.
(12:42):
Trump can only do so much as president. He has
to have Elon's He has to have lieutenants and generals
out in the field to fight the battles. He can't
do all that himself. There's only one of him, and
Elon is a force multiplier, and that scares the left.
He's been able, he was able in a matter of
days to bring in people that Republicans don't typically have
(13:04):
access to, these super nerds who can come in and
use AI for instance, and work through the night and
find the waste. And that scares the Democrats. That is
horrible for the Democrats. And Elon has become the focal
point of that evil, of that anger for them, and
(13:24):
they're going to bring to bear everything they can. They're
going to terrorize teslas, They're going to burn charging stations,
they're going to accost people driving teslas. And this is
why it's going to be important that federal charges are
brought against these people for terrorism. And that's what it is.
It's a form of economic terrorism. We've seen green terrorism
for a number of years in this country where I
(13:46):
remember there was a big, big incidence of this with
the hummer. Remember the hummer ramon yet No, not Bill Clinton,
the car, you fool, and they were. In fact, I
worked with a guy, Bo Brown that had a Hummer
and he lived in Montrose and drove this thing. Well,
(14:07):
the problem is both played college football that this is
not a guy that you you want coming out of
that hummer, because you know, Joe Roach drove a hummer.
So people would stand out in the middle of the
road Montrose being liberal and do the double double middle fingers,
double rods like Bud Adams. They'd do the double rods
(14:28):
out in the middle of the road and he'd Revett
a time or two and they'd get out of the way.
The thing about it is, this isn't Joe Roach or
you know some other dude who's compensating, hopping, you know,
crawling down out of there. If you get him to
come out of it, this guy whip your ass, just
pure whip your ass. But but this goes back the
green green terrorism is real. In fact, it's typically the
(14:49):
number one source of terrorism in this country is the
is is the Left? In any case, I just don't
know that Elon will stay for a number of reasons.
I hope he does, but if he makes a year,
I'll be happy. That being said, he knows he can't
stay there forever. Tesla's share price has tanked since December.
(15:13):
There are a lot of reasons for that. SpaceX needs
his attention, Starlink needs his attention, Neural Link needs his attention.
So they've got to work fast, and that means not
getting down in granular this early watchings yesterday in a
(15:41):
very somber serious tone, I don't know if he was
personally exhausted, which how can he not be? How can
President Trump not be exhausted. I don't keep his schedule,
not one percent of it. And I put my head
(16:02):
on the Pillow every night, absolutely beat. How can he
not be seventy eight years old? Meetings, speeches, interviews, It's incredible.
(16:24):
But in that very serious tone, he announced yesterday that
today would be the day that the Kennedy files will
be released.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
We are announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.
So people have been waiting for decades for this, and
I've instructed my people that was responsible, lots of different
people put.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Together by Chelsea Gabbert.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's going to be released to change.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
She c.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Con been killing me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
At President Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The first report so.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Say the President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by the shooting.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
President Trump has also promised the MLK files and the
Epstein files, the KFC recipe. Oh, you can't release that.
That's eleven her herbs and spices. You can't release that.
We'll never see that. My brother worked for KFC when
he was in high school, and my mom and I
(17:49):
would often ask him, not even joking, what's in that thing.
I've told y'all, I've told you, we don't mix it up.
It's not on the wall. Into mine, opened a Mexican restaurant,
or opened a restaurant where there had been a Mexican restaurant.
I think it was a nimphus. It was one of
(18:09):
the naphas I had closed. And on the wall was
the recipe in Spanish. Not that hard to fix, right, Well,
people that are going to be making they're going to
speak speaking Spanish anyway in the kitchen, or at least
that was the case. And I guess when they left,
whoever was in charge, whoever was deputized with taking everything out,
(18:32):
just decided, I'm not that thing's glued to the wall.
I'm not a mess with it. And there was a
secret recipe. A restaurant's recipes are quite valuable, actually. But
I've had a lot of conversations with people in different
aspects of life who are skeptical as I am that
(18:55):
the Epstein files will ever truly be released. Elon I
saw a quote this morning that he said, the waste
in government is worse than I expected. I think the
secrets and how evil they are are worse than we expect.
(19:19):
I think it runs higher than we expect, and it's
not the crimes that I think would shock us it's
the cover up. It's the number of people, some of
whom did not participate in these crimes, but still felt
the need, for whatever reason, to cover them up, either
a personal reward to them or either whether financial compensation,
(19:48):
pecuniary ramon, that's the word I was thinking of, or
career growth or a defensive position of Hey, what's in
it for me if I release this? These are powerful people.
I think there are people who fear for their lives.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I think there are people who fear for their lives
because we're talking about I mean, you look at what
happened to Harvey Weinstein. He went from the most powerful
person in Hollywood by far to prison and now he's
out now. But and that was for unwanted sex with
(20:28):
adult women. To my knowledge, there were no miners in that.
From what I understand, the Epstein files involved cases of
frighteningly young girls. It's all illegal, it's all wrong, But
(20:51):
seventeen is very different than seven. I think perversions of
the worst order were indulged by people whose names are
going to be widely and wildly familiar to us. And
(21:14):
I think there I think there's honest fear. I think
there's honest fear by a lot of people as to
the fallout, because once this Pandora's box is opened, and
and once people get a whiff, the fascination with the
dirty secrets is going to make the tabloids look like
(21:35):
honest journalism. And now with citizen journalism being what it
is with AI and its ability to once you get
a digital form of a document, which you can digitize
a document now even if it's printed out, Once that
information is available, has somebody tell me the other day, well,
(21:58):
government doesn't have that information. They kept that secret. No,
that's the point. That's the point. Epstein didn't do this
so that powerful people could do the most vile things,
indulge their worst perversions, and nobody ever know. Epstein wasn't
(22:23):
that nice, the guy. Epstein wasn't hell fellow, Well met,
let me make your dreams come true. Epstein was, I believe,
at the direction of the Chinese, but certainly at the
direction and funding of others, setting up a situation, a
bait trap, and he got them. And our government knows that,
(22:45):
and the Chinese government knows that. We shall see. But
the Kennedy files set to be released today, President.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Said, and what I see it all over the place
is people who care about looking good while doing evil.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The Michael Verryshew, I don't know where Chad managed to
dig this up. He said he had saved it, but
he found an audio clip of our show in twenty sixteen,
and here were the notes from it. He found the
notes as well. Colonel Sanders nephew claims he found his
(23:23):
old his uncle's old scrap boat with a handwritten list
of the eleven herbs and spices. And here is what
the list has. Two teaspoons of garlic salt. I like garlic.
I like garlic in almost everything. One teaspoon of this
(23:48):
one's going to surprise you, ramon Ground Ginger, you better
not be writing these down. I see you. Three teaspoons,
very clever, and that's it. I do actually have the
(24:17):
I do actually have the list here.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
You know what I need to know?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Call Matt Brice. Maybe I need a chef to tell
me when it says one capital T small s huh,
that's a tablespoon? What's a teaspoon? Small? Ta?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I still rather hear from a chef. Seven one three thousand.
Should I read the list from ore? Or you think
we'll get in trouble. The Epstein list people end up dead.
So the last will and testament of this fellow's well,
I'll read it. Joe Leddington says his aunt, who went
on to marry Colonel Sanders, was instrumental in launching the
(24:57):
fast food chain. At the back of her scrap book
is an official looking document. It's pages stapled together the
last will and testament of his aunt, Claudia. She died
on New Year's Eve nineteen ninety six at age ninety four.
On the back of the document is a handwritten list
(25:19):
of eleven herbs and spices jotted down. Okay, look, you
gotta admit the fact that there's eleven of them. It
makes you wonder, right, It kind of gives some authenticity.
On the back of the document is a handwritten list
of eleven herbs and spices jotted down. Lettington believes it's
the secret blend. He says it's not in his uncle's handwriting,
(25:43):
but it seems familiar to him because as a boy,
he remembers helping his uncle blend the herbs and spices
in his gayage. The ingredients as written are I just
think maybe a drum roll would have been more appropriate.
(26:05):
But okay, it's not Jewish. I don't know. I don't
think the colonel was Jewish. By the way, not to brag.
Do you know he was a Kentucky colonel. Right, it's
an order.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I'm a Kentucky colonel. Not to brag. I'm also a
Tennessee squire. Starting to add up and his are these are? Okay?
Says eleven spices mixed with two cups of white flour. Okay,
start with two thirds tablespoon of salt, one half tablespoon
(26:41):
of time. Then you have time on your hands. One
half tablespoon of basil or basil roth bone. Number four
is one third tablespoon of oregano. But it was spelt
original or I g that's how it was real in
the original. Number five. One tablespoon of celery salts. What's
(27:06):
the difference between celery salt and salt? We'll see. This
is why we need a chef. Number six, one tablespoon
of black pepper. Number seven, one tablespoon of dried mustard.
Faith of a mustards. Do you see the number eight?
(27:28):
This is what surprises me. Four tablespoons of paprika. So
nothing about what I've seen so far made me think, well,
you know that's so special, Like what's out of the ordinary?
Four tablespoons of paprika surprises me? Number nine, two tablespoons
of garlic salt. You know I used to love garlic.
(27:49):
I can't process garlic like I used to could. When
Chad pulled that up, that was from twenty sixteen, that
clip of us talking about it, that was from twenty sixteen,
nine years ago. If you brought up garlic, I'd say,
where are we eating? I love garlic, more garlic, all
the time, Garlic on everything, can't get enough. Now I
(28:09):
have the garlic removed. Carabas has a lamb chops. There
are three lamb chops, and I they know because I'm
friends with the folks there either the Voss location or
the Kirby location. And if I'm if it's a hit
and run, I'll call either Stephen Barclay or Mariano Rivera,
(28:32):
the managers at Steve is a GM at the Voss location,
or if it's the Kirby location, I'll call Johnny and say, hey,
can I pick up this? And he'll say, as usual,
which means take They they have to take the because
they already. They do a rub, a garlic rub. Have
you had a lot of pups, So they put a
rub on their on their lamb chops, and they obviously
(28:57):
that's to give them time to marinate. So and I'm coming,
they'll have to pull some out and or if the
if they're already that way, they will wash them off
because afterwards I get the You know what's one of
the grossest words to me, gird acid reflux. It's called
gerd gerd. It's an acronym. I forget what it's for,
(29:18):
gastro intestinal. I don't know, puke all night, whatever it is.
But anybody that's had acid reflux knows what I'm talking
about anyway. So like at Federal American Grill, the one
I go to is the Headwick Village location. If I
order anything that has garlic, I don't even have to remember.
They all know, don't put any garlic and wash the
(29:38):
garlic off if we have it already. And it's such
a bummer because garlic made life better. Oh sorry, number
ten one teaspoon, sorry, one tablespoon of ground ginger. I
also wouldn't have seen that one coming. And three tablespoons
of white pepper. See again, we need a chef. Why
do I need white pepper? Seven one three nine nine
(30:01):
one thousand. I need somebody can help me with all this. Huh,
the white pepper commits less crime. Ramon you say things.
The Chicago Tribune did a few test batches comparing it
with KFC bought chicken. They wrote, quote, it came very close,
yet something was still missing. That's when a reporter grabbed
a small container of the MSG flavor enhancer accent. How
(30:24):
they get that in the test kitchen and sprinkled it
on a piece of the fried chicken That did the trip.
Our chicken was virtually indistinguishable from the batch bought at KFC. Well,
but here's the other thing. KFC's got other things going
on you don't know about. You don't know what they're
frying it in. You don't know what tempt they're frying
it in. You don't know any of that. Oh but
(30:45):
my brother said, I can't give you the rest because
I don't know it. It arrives pre batched. We're not
allowed to make it at the at the store. I'm
not that I need a chef. Seven one three nine
nine one thousand
