Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
No, no, I want you to put on every process
like this and stay. Decide to rush so you can
pull your comrade back.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Will be very very strong in terms of law and order.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's about law order. We're gonna be watching it very closely.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Here we go, h Those demonstrators are making their way
down the ramp and onto the one o one freeway.
This is a think, a concern that we had seen
a little earlier. The freeway had been shut down by
law enforcement, and it is now being shut down by
the other side. Demonstrators are on the surface of the
southbound one oh one freeway and blocking traffic.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
They're on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Officer down to hit with a rug Alameda Temple dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
They're there to restore order.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Anyone who looks at the scene on your TV, look
at that. It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
What normal person, what member of the public feels comfortable
being in downtown LA right now?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Nobody? So I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
He needs to watch the TV and see what's going on.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's out of control, and since he can't control the state,
he can't control.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
The lawlessness, We'll do it for him.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And that's what the president's doing. He is deploying the
National Guard.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
We will have order in the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police offices.
Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do is
a common thing. They get up to them this far
away and then they shot spitting in their face. That happens,
they get hit very hard.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
That violence that you were referring to. Just you can
see that there's a car burning in the background. And
while they've made a semicircle here on the street, you
can see that the WEIMO over there has been vandalized,
and we understand that some cars over there may also
be wamo's at the set on fire.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The government use is an embarrassment for the stake. You know,
he's the one that's feeding this at Mantra. He supports
sanctuary cities, he supports sanctuary laws. If he if he
cared about public safety and state of California, he would
not have a sanctuary for criminals where criminals get released
to the street to this state every day because of
his problem.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yep, I'm assuming you know this, but just so you
do in case you don't. WAIM is a self driving
taxi company that is owned by Alphabet, which is the
parent company of Google. They actually spun the company off
(03:58):
back in twenty sixteen as a separate company. There is
a race to dominate the space of the self driving vehicle,
not just a taxi, but the self driving vehicle. Alphabet,
(04:19):
which is Google, entered that space with Weimo. Uber has
a product, and Amazon has a product, and of course
Elon has a product. I believe that as of right now,
this will change soon. But I believe that the most innovative,
(04:43):
groundbreaking development in automotive history of the last twenty five
years is full self driving and I think within a
few years it will go mainstream. And the way it'll
go mainstream is that Elon will license it, and that's
(05:08):
the payout. That's one of the reasons. That's one of
the underpinning factors in Tesla's stock. It was never believed
that Tesla was going to sell more cars than General Motors.
It's not going to happen, or Ford or Dodge for
that matter. Tesla's market capitalization is greater than the three
(05:30):
of those companies. And the next four combined. In the
technology world, you bet on the comp you don't bet
on current revenues. I remember reading an article. I don't
know what year it was, let's say it was about
It feels like it was about the year two thousand
and a much younger Jeff Bezos. I think it was
(05:55):
a Wall Street journal, but it doesn't matter. Twenty five
years ago or so, and that company still had not
made a profit. It was losing less and less. And
I remember Jeff Beso saying, they said, will you ever
be profitable? And he said, we will be profitable within
five years. And on that news, the Amazon stock jumped again.
(06:21):
And the reason was because a company like that is
not a traditional company like you or I might start
a Hamburger joint. We pretty much have to be profitable
pretty early in because we're going to burn through our
cash reserves. And nobody believes that well, once they get
(06:43):
it figured out, he's going to take over the world
with burgers. No, that's not how most businesses work. But
the idea was this company that started as a bookseller.
Once this company that could sell everything and could figure
out a massive logistical nightmare of delivering anything to your doorstep,
(07:07):
and that too quickly at a lower cost than most places.
Once he figured it all out, it was going to
take over the world, and it did. It did it
disrupted retail traffic, It destroyed a lot of brick and
mortar as a result, and it changed a lot of things.
(07:32):
I just got distracted on way mode because I'm fascinated
by full self driving, Absolutely fascinated by it. But anyway,
where we are in the process now is that Gavin
Newsom is going on the record demanding that Trump withdraw
the National Guard. Once that is done, once that is submitted,
(07:52):
the next phase is mayhem. So now the guys they
did not want the violence against LA cops. They needed
to create enough fure to call for public involvement to
get Trump involved. Now Gavin Newsom is saying Trump is
(08:13):
the reason it has elevated. Now what we want is
violence and killing and that can all be blamed on Trump.
That's the next phase.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Continues.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So here's the statement from Gavin Newsomb. I have formally
requested the Trump administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops
in Los Angeles County and return them to my command.
(08:53):
We did not have a problem until Trump got involved.
This is a serious breach of state sovereignty. Oh we're
states writers? Now are we inflaming tensions while pulling resources
from where they're actually needed? Rescind the order, return control
(09:16):
to California. It is important to understand exactly what is
happening here because it is not happening naturally. This is
all very carefully coordinated. Now, that doesn't make it any
less precarious. The overlords who are running this op, there
(09:41):
are a lot of moving pieces here. There are some
people in the crowds that are their useful idiots who
are there to create the violence, instability, fear, who are
who are wild cards, shall we say? There could be
(10:07):
one of their guys who walks in with an uzi
and starts unloading on the cops. It's going to be
harder to blame that on Trump. They will, but it's
going to be harder. There could be a guy set
off a bomb. There are a lot of things that
can happen that they're carefully carefully regulating and controlling top down.
(10:35):
But what they've now done, and you watch this play out,
you can both hate them and respect the hustle because
their side unlike our side. Their side is very sophisticated
at how things like this are handled. Our folks react
(10:57):
to it as a naive neighbor in charge. Well, god, hey,
we got we got a protest going on here. We
probably need to send in the cops or something. And
don't don't see it coming. They don't even realize what
is happening right before their eyes. And you know the
(11:19):
worst part is the rioters, the the violent rioters, chose
to be there. Cops didn't sign up for this. I mean, realistically,
cops don't sign up for a moment like this. There's
(11:42):
no valor, there's no glory to this. You can either
suffer through it. It's over and you get to go
back to your job. Or you could very easily if
you don't keep your head about you, or if you
(12:05):
misjudge a threat, or if a threat is thrown at
you and you have no opportunity to get out of
the way of it, you could very easily end up
in prison for life. You could very easily end up
being lynched. You could very easily end up in a
situation where, you know, these guys are really not even
(12:27):
middle class, they're the upper end of working class and
their wives are all school teachers, nurses, government employees. So
when you have to pull the trigger your identity, you'll
(12:50):
be docksed in just a moment. You don't get to
wear a face mask the way the protesters do. When
that happens, your wife and kids then have to be relocated.
You go into hiding. You're not prepared for that, you
don't have the resources for that. It's horrifying. You gotta
(13:14):
feel for these cops anybody who says that's what you
signed up for. You didn't sign up for this. And
by the way, at your job, did you sign up
for everything that happens there? Did you sign up for
everything you are asked to do? Did Sharon Watkin sign
up for accounting fraud ullus? You had to. She went
(13:38):
to enrunch, she signed up. No, you didn't. It comes
across your desk and you go, oh my god, what
in the world is happening here? You didn't sign up
for that. I mean, if we're being realistic, you signed
up to serve and protect and get a pension and
a paycheck like everybody else. I don't know why we
(14:00):
have to act like cops. You know, had a calling
from God, and it's their responsibility to put up and
tolerate all of this nonsense. You know, a cop could
be killed today and the Left would not cry, and
(14:20):
the media would not cry, and the Democrats would not cry.
It would be more collateral damage that would be thrown
at Donald Trump. This is what happened. This is all
Trump's fault. I mean, just watch what they're doing. You
have to think, man, these guys are good. And here's
Trump out here by himself having to handle all this
(14:43):
by himself, and most naive Americans are watching this and thinking,
it's just what are they mad about? What happened? I'm
a protest or something, you know. I mean, you know
Trump hadn't something about Trump. You know, Trump did something.
They're mad about it. You can't blame them, you know
the about it. And then you pull you pull LAPD back.
(15:05):
You know, the same mayor that watched Los Angeles burn,
the same castro supporting mayor, she pulls l a p
D back. There's footage of the rioters smashing in the
windows of the l a p D headquarters a matter
of hours after LAPD's official position is that they were
mostly peaceful. Well, okay, I guess, and you know the
(15:29):
poor rank and file, it's not their fault. So you
pull l A p D back and the protesters get
more and more, more and more things burn. You allow
them to do this, but you make sure it's all filmed.
You make sure there's there's fear and anger in America
because Trump won't be able to help himself. Then the
governor refuses to send in the National Guard. Then the
(15:55):
President says, all right, if the mayor won't do anything,
the governor won't do anything, I'll And you immediately say,
oh my god, you've inflamed it all. This is all
your fault. That's that's where we're going to go. This
is this is going to get very bad. I feel
pretty certain of it. They have to stop Trump, and
this is how they stopped. Escaped Michael Very Show early
(16:17):
Saturday to drive to Orange to get my parents home,
my childhood home, ready to put on the market. My
dad is now certain he wants to live in Houston
at the at the Assistant Living Facility. I wanted to
keep it long enough that if he changed his mind
(16:38):
he would it would still be there for him. He
had lived there since I was eight years old, so
forty seven years at home. He built that home in
nineteen seventy eight with his own hands. Now, there were
a few things he had to bring people in, but
there was no architect, there was no mineral contractor. And
(17:01):
many of you have done the same thing. I'm not
saying he's the only person ever do this, but I
admire it. I don't think I could do that. I've
never built a home from scratch, and frankly, I have
no interest in it. I'm amazed when people do. It's
a lot of work. I mean, it's a lot of work.
(17:24):
We have a show sponsor, Mike Fagen, and he's the
number one builder at Republic Grand Ranch and he's been
at this for a very very long time, and he talks.
He gives a seminar once a month, and he still
gives it himself. And even if you don't buy a
(17:46):
home through him, a seminar is on how to be
an informed, engaged, effective homeowner in the custom home building
process so that you don't end up with a divorce
as many people have done. But anyway, so I'm going
through this house and I'm looking at it for the
last time, which you know, it's that's that's a different
(18:11):
set of eyes that you use. And it's a I
find the rendering of some guy probably out at DuPont,
who drew up my dad's direction, and you can see
where he's erased things. You know, this is kind of
where this is going to look over here is where
this is going to look over here. And it's a
simple home, but it's a certainly nothing to be ashamed
(18:35):
of it. It's a pretty little home, not very big,
three little bedrooms, and so you move the things out
in the house, in your childhood household, your childhood house.
The structure, just like when you go back to a
hill that you ran up when you were a kid,
and man, that hill was you know, Kilimanjaro, and now
(18:58):
it's a little knowle as you go wow, But when
you were little, wooh boy, you thought that was that
was it. But it's interesting to study in this manner
to the extent you can study something that you're emotionally
attached to, how what kind of person my parents are
(19:21):
and were depending on mother or father. And it's incredible
because you see things that have been saved for forty
seven years. Some of the things are things that have
been saved for longer than that, and you go, Wow,
that's you realize your importance in the role of your parent,
(19:43):
when you realize that everything of your life has been
packed away and squirreled away. And for what purpose. Well,
what I suspect is so that it can be handed
over to you, you know, when you get older. I
mean of you on through this process. And I've had
conversations with folks over the years about cleaning out your parents'
(20:05):
house after they leave because they don't get the opportunity
to do it. One of the things I noticed coming back,
or that I remarked on, was that Chevron Phillip's plant
because we were coming back late at night. I was tired, man,
I was tired. I don't engage in physical activity every day.
(20:28):
I'm not here to tell you that that I do
not like that. You know, I do my workout with Petro,
but you know, hauling boxes, you know, getting up on
a ladder and taking things down, wiping things down. It's
hard work and to do it all day long, it
is exhausting. I admire people who do that. And you know,
(20:53):
you're using muscles that you don't use in a gym
or in your normal day to day life, and you know,
everything aching, and I'm driving back and I forget how
magical that Chevron Phillips plant is on the right, so
on the north side of it tent as you're coming
(21:13):
through Mont Bellevue, and I made the comment, which I
wished I hadn't, because I have. I have said over
the years, it has been ten years probably since I've
remarked to anybody about it, that I find that plant
to be magical. You know, it's lit up all those
beautiful lights. It looks like a crystal magical garden or something.
(21:35):
It's something you'd see in in the Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe or something. And anyway, so every time
I've ever said that over the years, someone will say, yeah,
but it stinks. Yeah, okay, it does stink, but it's glorious.
(21:58):
And you know, a farm stinks if you're not used
to the smell of manure. I actually love the smell
of fresh cut grass. Some people think that's an awful smell.
I love that smell, so I suppose, but the number
of people responded, smell of money. The point wasn't the smell.
(22:20):
The point was just how magical that damn place looks.
And that has always been over the years. How many
times I have driven to Orange and back from Houston,
is that every time I pass by there, I am
in awe of the simple beauty of this industrial complex.
And no point to that story. Just in case. My
(22:44):
dad bought a small to seven point fifty John Dere
tractor in when I was about fifteen or sixteen, so whatever,
that would have been seventy five, sorry, eighty five, and
the darn thing it still looks like it drove off
the showroom floor. Because of the pride he had and
(23:06):
how he takes care of things. It's just incredible. The
house so clean, things wiped down, things he hadn't been
there for months, but things taken care of and preserved.
I think it says a lot about a person how
well they take care of their things. Now, granted, that's
(23:28):
how I was raised. We took our shoes off at
the door, and you didn't just fling your shoes off
just to the side of the door. You sat them
in an organized, structured way. And I don't know, I
look at cultures, I look at people, you know, I
see people that don't take care of their stuff. I
(23:51):
see people and I see communities where a pool is
built and then it's trashed, or built, a housing complex
built and it's trashed. I see an automobile with three
hubcaps missing, and the automobile is trashed, and it's filthy.
And I can't help because it's the way I was raised.
(24:13):
It's values. I can't help but think how much of
who I am and I could see it in that house,
how much of who I am is? Those were the
values I was raised with, and I think those are
better values. It's Tracy Burrs.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the tsar of talk.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
My buddy, Michael Berry. Wall Street Journal has an article
this morning which they call a Wall Street Journal News exclusive.
A George Soros backed group is to plow millions of
dollars into trying to turn Texas blue. Texas Majority pack
(25:00):
will launch a Blue Texas Initiative Monday to try to
reverse decades of Democratic losses in the nation's second largest state.
Initiative will attempt to bolster democrats hope of making Texas
competitive after failing to win any state wide races since
(25:22):
nineteen ninety four. Democrats are launching a multimillion dollar effort,
helped by megadoner George Soros, to turn Texas into a
political battleground after suffering through decades of electoral losses in
the nation's second largest state. So, one of the dangers
(25:49):
of one party rule is that you become arrogant and
sloppy because you no longer have battles, competitive battles that
you have to win. So when the Republican Party nomination
(26:10):
becomes to facto the election, when novembers aren't sufficiently competitive,
what ends up happening is you lose sight of governing
in a manner that maintains a majority. You start doing
(26:35):
things in a sloppy manner, and you stop listening when
the voter, especially your base, complaints. You grow arrogant, You
start taking up causes that don't serve the public will
(26:59):
start taking up call is to serve very narrow special interests.
That is the THCHC band. You know what's interesting, My
views on marijuana have evolved over the years. When I
(27:20):
was growing up, my mother would refer to the dope,
and we were taught in school and at home and
at church. You don't mess with the dope. Dope is bad.
Dope heads. We'd refer to people as a dope head.
He got long hair, he got a tattoo, He's a
dope head. And dope was this horrible, terrible thing that
(27:45):
once it got hold of you, you couldn't get loose,
and you'd probably never bathe. It wouldn't allow you to bathe.
You'd be dirty. You'd be listening to Ozzy Osbourne and
your hair would be long, and you'd be green, and
you'd wear old concert heavy metal concert t shirts and
(28:05):
you'd be nasty and filthy, and nobody ever would be
around you because you were on the dope. You were
eat up with the dope. My mother would refer to
people being eat up with two things, not the dumb ass,
if that's what you're thinking. That was my dad, he
would say that, but not my mother. You would be
eat up with cancer or eat up with the dope.
(28:29):
And if you were eat up with the dope, it
had control of you. It was highly addictive and highly controlling,
and once once it had hold of you, you smelled
of it all the time, and it controlled every aspect
of your being, and nobody wanted to be around you
or hire you. Or marry you, or be your friend,
(28:50):
or frankly in the same room, because you were filthy
and dirty, like a pigpen in the Peanuts cartoons. And
then as I got I pretty much kept that view
for most of my early adult years. And then I
got to college and there was an army graduate there
(29:13):
was I had a classmate who was an army guy,
and he had suffered some injuries in the army. He
served in Desert Storm in ninety one ninety two, had
a real bad back, and we studied together, and he
(29:34):
was he was married. I was, I guess, getting married
that year, and his wife didn't like him to smoke
a joint, and so he'd have to wait till she
was gone, and he'd smoke a joint. And I would say, noon,
not in my presence, brouh you get you get arrested
for that. I might go, I don't want to be
a part of that. And I would ask him, why
(29:56):
do you do that? It seemed too smart to do that.
And he had back pain, and he was scared to
take a vicodin or whatever the chronic addictive prescription drug
that these Republicans would have you take. You're scared of
that and this gave him relief from a horrible back
pain and he walked slumped over. Relatively young guy served
(30:19):
I think seven years in the army. You know, fast forward,
fast forward him. So I would run into people who
were marijuana smokers, and they were not what I thought
those people were. They were not losers, they were not layabouts,
they were highly successful people. They were CEOs. And one
(30:46):
day I'm having a conversation with my brother who said,
I said, you know, I got approached by this group
called LEAP law Enforcement Against Prohibition and their former law
enforcement officers because you can't do it when you're active,
who are in favor of legalizing marijuana. And they claim
that based on their experience as law enforcement, they think
(31:07):
it's safer than alcohol. And my brother said, as I've
quoted many times, that if I was king, I'd rather
people do marijuana than alcohol, because I show up at
a lot of calls where a guy's beating the snot
out of his woman, a guy's in a bar fight,
a guy's in a car and he's killed somebody else,
all because of alcohol. He said. Most marijuana folks, whether
(31:29):
it's gummies, smoking it, vaping it, whatever, all they want
to do is sit on the couch and eat cheetos
and watch TV. He said much rather that at least
it don't harm anybody else. Well, the big complaint I
hear from little old ladies who grew up on reefer
madness videos and marijuan is that we cannot legalize or
(31:50):
decriminalize marijuana because nobody will go to work. It'll make
everybody real lazy. Does alcohol make people want to go
to work? Really? Does it? I mean is that it
We got to make laws to prevent people from being lazy.
If we can just keep them from having video games,
(32:10):
people don't go to people call in sick on that.
What about prescription drugs? Anyway, you got George Soros with
an eye toward Texas. So the last thing we could
do we should do is fumble. The last thing Ramon
should do is bring the music in too hot. So
(32:33):
you got Sorows put big money into winning Texas. And
what are our guys doing. Are they attacking property taxes
because that's a bipartisan issue. Even Democrats don't like to
pay high property taxes. No, they're not. Are they attacking
the issues that matter property taxes? No? I have never
(32:58):
in my life had an issue that I criticized a
statewide elected official, and I'm criticizing Dan Patrick ONNAS that
ninety five percent or more of you have said I'm
with you. I don't care. I will criticize if I
think it needs to be criticized. But there are many
times that people will go, dude, you're off base just
because they like the governor of the lieutenant governor. I
(33:19):
have had over ninety five percent response going this was
a bonehead move, this is an unforced error, huge mistake,
and then you've got sorrows ready to attack.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
No, no, I want you to put on every process
like this and stay. Decide to rush so you can
pull your comrade back.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Will be very very strong in terms of law and order.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's about law order. We're gonna be watching it very closely.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Here we go, h Those demonstrators are making their way
down the ramp and onto the one o one freeway.
This is a think, a concern that we had seen
a little earlier. The freeway had been shut down by
law enforcement, and it is now being shut down by
the other side. Demonstrators are on the surface of the
southbound one oh one freeway and blocking traffic.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
They're on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Officer down to hit with a rug Alameda Temple dogs.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
They're there to restore order.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Anyone who looks at the scene on your TV, look
at that. It's out of control.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
What normal person, what member of the public feels comfortable
being in downtown LA right now?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Nobody? So I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
He needs to watch the TV and see what's going on.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's out of control, and since he can't control the state,
he can't control.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
The lawlessness, We'll do it for him.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And that's what the president's doing. He is deploying the
National Guard.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
We will have order in the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police offices.
Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do is
a common thing. They get up to them this far
away and then they shot spitting in their face. That happens,
they get hit very hard.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
That violence that you were referring to. Just you can
see that there's a car burning in the background. And
while they've made a semicircle here on the street, you
can see that the WEIMO over there has been vandalized,
and we understand that some cars over there may also
be wamo's at the set on fire.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The government use is an embarrassment for the stake. You know,
he's the one that's feeding this at Mantra. He supports
sanctuary cities, he supports sanctuary laws. If he if he
cared about public safety and state of California, he would
not have a sanctuary for criminals where criminals get released
to the street to this state every day because of
his problem.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yep, I'm assuming you know this, but just so you
do in case you don't. WAIM is a self driving
taxi company that is owned by Alphabet, which is the
parent company of Google. They actually spun the company off
(03:58):
back in twenty sixteen as a separate company. There is
a race to dominate the space of the self driving vehicle,
not just a taxi, but the self driving vehicle. Alphabet,
(04:19):
which is Google, entered that space with Weimo. Uber has
a product, and Amazon has a product, and of course
Elon has a product. I believe that as of right now,
this will change soon. But I believe that the most innovative,
(04:43):
groundbreaking development in automotive history of the last twenty five
years is full self driving and I think within a
few years it will go mainstream. And the way it'll
go mainstream is that Elon will license it, and that's
(05:08):
the payout. That's one of the reasons. That's one of
the underpinning factors in Tesla's stock. It was never believed
that Tesla was going to sell more cars than General Motors.
It's not going to happen, or Ford or Dodge for
that matter. Tesla's market capitalization is greater than the three
(05:30):
of those companies. And the next four combined. In the
technology world, you bet on the comp you don't bet
on current revenues. I remember reading an article. I don't
know what year it was, let's say it was about
It feels like it was about the year two thousand
and a much younger Jeff Bezos. I think it was
(05:55):
a Wall Street journal, but it doesn't matter. Twenty five
years ago or so, and that company still had not
made a profit. It was losing less and less. And
I remember Jeff Beso saying, they said, will you ever
be profitable? And he said, we will be profitable within
five years. And on that news, the Amazon stock jumped again.
(06:21):
And the reason was because a company like that is
not a traditional company like you or I might start
a Hamburger joint. We pretty much have to be profitable
pretty early in because we're going to burn through our
cash reserves. And nobody believes that well, once they get
(06:43):
it figured out, he's going to take over the world
with burgers. No, that's not how most businesses work. But
the idea was this company that started as a bookseller.
Once this company that could sell everything and could figure
out a massive logistical nightmare of delivering anything to your doorstep,
(07:07):
and that too quickly at a lower cost than most places.
Once he figured it all out, it was going to
take over the world, and it did. It did it
disrupted retail traffic, It destroyed a lot of brick and
mortar as a result, and it changed a lot of things.
(07:32):
I just got distracted on way mode because I'm fascinated
by full self driving, Absolutely fascinated by it. But anyway,
where we are in the process now is that Gavin
Newsom is going on the record demanding that Trump withdraw
the National Guard. Once that is done, once that is submitted,
(07:52):
the next phase is mayhem. So now the guys they
did not want the violence against LA cops. They needed
to create enough fure to call for public involvement to
get Trump involved. Now Gavin Newsom is saying Trump is
(08:13):
the reason it has elevated. Now what we want is
violence and killing and that can all be blamed on Trump.
That's the next phase.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Continues.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So here's the statement from Gavin Newsomb. I have formally
requested the Trump administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops
in Los Angeles County and return them to my command.
(08:53):
We did not have a problem until Trump got involved.
This is a serious breach of state sovereignty. Oh we're
states writers? Now are we inflaming tensions while pulling resources
from where they're actually needed? Rescind the order, return control
(09:16):
to California. It is important to understand exactly what is
happening here because it is not happening naturally. This is
all very carefully coordinated. Now, that doesn't make it any
less precarious. The overlords who are running this op, there
(09:41):
are a lot of moving pieces here. There are some
people in the crowds that are their useful idiots who
are there to create the violence, instability, fear, who are
who are wild cards, shall we say? There could be
(10:07):
one of their guys who walks in with an uzi
and starts unloading on the cops. It's going to be
harder to blame that on Trump. They will, but it's
going to be harder. There could be a guy set
off a bomb. There are a lot of things that
can happen that they're carefully carefully regulating and controlling top down.
(10:35):
But what they've now done, and you watch this play out,
you can both hate them and respect the hustle because
their side unlike our side. Their side is very sophisticated
at how things like this are handled. Our folks react
(10:57):
to it as a naive neighbor in charge. Well, god, hey,
we got we got a protest going on here. We
probably need to send in the cops or something. And
don't don't see it coming. They don't even realize what
is happening right before their eyes. And you know the
(11:19):
worst part is the rioters, the the violent rioters, chose
to be there. Cops didn't sign up for this. I mean, realistically,
cops don't sign up for a moment like this. There's
(11:42):
no valor, there's no glory to this. You can either
suffer through it. It's over and you get to go
back to your job. Or you could very easily if
you don't keep your head about you, or if you
(12:05):
misjudge a threat, or if a threat is thrown at
you and you have no opportunity to get out of
the way of it, you could very easily end up
in prison for life. You could very easily end up
being lynched. You could very easily end up in a
situation where, you know, these guys are really not even
(12:27):
middle class, they're the upper end of working class and
their wives are all school teachers, nurses, government employees. So
when you have to pull the trigger your identity, you'll
(12:50):
be docksed in just a moment. You don't get to
wear a face mask the way the protesters do. When
that happens, your wife and kids then have to be relocated.
You go into hiding. You're not prepared for that, you
don't have the resources for that. It's horrifying. You gotta
(13:14):
feel for these cops anybody who says that's what you
signed up for. You didn't sign up for this. And
by the way, at your job, did you sign up
for everything that happens there? Did you sign up for
everything you are asked to do? Did Sharon Watkin sign
up for accounting fraud ullus? You had to. She went
(13:38):
to enrunch, she signed up. No, you didn't. It comes
across your desk and you go, oh my god, what
in the world is happening here? You didn't sign up
for that. I mean, if we're being realistic, you signed
up to serve and protect and get a pension and
a paycheck like everybody else. I don't know why we
(14:00):
have to act like cops. You know, had a calling
from God, and it's their responsibility to put up and
tolerate all of this nonsense. You know, a cop could
be killed today and the Left would not cry, and
(14:20):
the media would not cry, and the Democrats would not cry.
It would be more collateral damage that would be thrown
at Donald Trump. This is what happened. This is all
Trump's fault. I mean, just watch what they're doing. You
have to think, man, these guys are good. And here's
Trump out here by himself having to handle all this
(14:43):
by himself, and most naive Americans are watching this and thinking,
it's just what are they mad about? What happened? I'm
a protest or something, you know. I mean, you know
Trump hadn't something about Trump. You know, Trump did something.
They're mad about it. You can't blame them, you know
the about it. And then you pull you pull LAPD back.
(15:05):
You know, the same mayor that watched Los Angeles burn,
the same castro supporting mayor, she pulls l a p
D back. There's footage of the rioters smashing in the
windows of the l a p D headquarters a matter
of hours after LAPD's official position is that they were
mostly peaceful. Well, okay, I guess, and you know the
(15:29):
poor rank and file, it's not their fault. So you
pull l A p D back and the protesters get
more and more, more and more things burn. You allow
them to do this, but you make sure it's all filmed.
You make sure there's there's fear and anger in America
because Trump won't be able to help himself. Then the
governor refuses to send in the National Guard. Then the
(15:55):
President says, all right, if the mayor won't do anything,
the governor won't do anything, I'll And you immediately say,
oh my god, you've inflamed it all. This is all
your fault. That's that's where we're going to go. This
is this is going to get very bad. I feel
pretty certain of it. They have to stop Trump, and
this is how they stopped. Escaped Michael Very Show early
(16:17):
Saturday to drive to Orange to get my parents home,
my childhood home, ready to put on the market. My
dad is now certain he wants to live in Houston
at the at the Assistant Living Facility. I wanted to
keep it long enough that if he changed his mind
(16:38):
he would it would still be there for him. He
had lived there since I was eight years old, so
forty seven years at home. He built that home in
nineteen seventy eight with his own hands. Now, there were
a few things he had to bring people in, but
there was no architect, there was no mineral contractor. And
(17:01):
many of you have done the same thing. I'm not
saying he's the only person ever do this, but I
admire it. I don't think I could do that. I've
never built a home from scratch, and frankly, I have
no interest in it. I'm amazed when people do. It's
a lot of work. I mean, it's a lot of work.
(17:24):
We have a show sponsor, Mike Fagen, and he's the
number one builder at Republic Grand Ranch and he's been
at this for a very very long time, and he talks.
He gives a seminar once a month, and he still
gives it himself. And even if you don't buy a
(17:46):
home through him, a seminar is on how to be
an informed, engaged, effective homeowner in the custom home building
process so that you don't end up with a divorce
as many people have done. But anyway, so I'm going
through this house and I'm looking at it for the
last time, which you know, it's that's that's a different
(18:11):
set of eyes that you use. And it's a I
find the rendering of some guy probably out at DuPont,
who drew up my dad's direction, and you can see
where he's erased things. You know, this is kind of
where this is going to look over here is where
this is going to look over here. And it's a
simple home, but it's a certainly nothing to be ashamed
(18:35):
of it. It's a pretty little home, not very big,
three little bedrooms, and so you move the things out
in the house, in your childhood household, your childhood house.
The structure, just like when you go back to a
hill that you ran up when you were a kid,
and man, that hill was you know, Kilimanjaro, and now
(18:58):
it's a little knowle as you go wow, But when
you were little, wooh boy, you thought that was that
was it. But it's interesting to study in this manner
to the extent you can study something that you're emotionally
attached to, how what kind of person my parents are
(19:21):
and were depending on mother or father. And it's incredible
because you see things that have been saved for forty
seven years. Some of the things are things that have
been saved for longer than that, and you go, Wow,
that's you realize your importance in the role of your parent,
(19:43):
when you realize that everything of your life has been
packed away and squirreled away. And for what purpose. Well,
what I suspect is so that it can be handed
over to you, you know, when you get older. I
mean of you on through this process. And I've had
conversations with folks over the years about cleaning out your parents'
(20:05):
house after they leave because they don't get the opportunity
to do it. One of the things I noticed coming back,
or that I remarked on, was that Chevron Phillip's plant
because we were coming back late at night. I was tired, man,
I was tired. I don't engage in physical activity every day.
(20:28):
I'm not here to tell you that that I do
not like that. You know, I do my workout with Petro,
but you know, hauling boxes, you know, getting up on
a ladder and taking things down, wiping things down. It's
hard work and to do it all day long, it
is exhausting. I admire people who do that. And you know,
(20:53):
you're using muscles that you don't use in a gym
or in your normal day to day life, and you know,
everything aching, and I'm driving back and I forget how
magical that Chevron Phillips plant is on the right, so
on the north side of it tent as you're coming
(21:13):
through Mont Bellevue, and I made the comment, which I
wished I hadn't, because I have. I have said over
the years, it has been ten years probably since I've
remarked to anybody about it, that I find that plant
to be magical. You know, it's lit up all those
beautiful lights. It looks like a crystal magical garden or something.
(21:35):
It's something you'd see in in the Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe or something. And anyway, so every time
I've ever said that over the years, someone will say, yeah,
but it stinks. Yeah, okay, it does stink, but it's glorious.
(21:58):
And you know, a farm stinks if you're not used
to the smell of manure. I actually love the smell
of fresh cut grass. Some people think that's an awful smell.
I love that smell, so I suppose, but the number
of people responded, smell of money. The point wasn't the smell.
(22:20):
The point was just how magical that damn place looks.
And that has always been over the years. How many
times I have driven to Orange and back from Houston,
is that every time I pass by there, I am
in awe of the simple beauty of this industrial complex.
And no point to that story. Just in case. My
(22:44):
dad bought a small to seven point fifty John Dere
tractor in when I was about fifteen or sixteen, so whatever,
that would have been seventy five, sorry, eighty five, and
the darn thing it still looks like it drove off
the showroom floor. Because of the pride he had and
(23:06):
how he takes care of things. It's just incredible. The
house so clean, things wiped down, things he hadn't been
there for months, but things taken care of and preserved.
I think it says a lot about a person how
well they take care of their things. Now, granted, that's
(23:28):
how I was raised. We took our shoes off at
the door, and you didn't just fling your shoes off
just to the side of the door. You sat them
in an organized, structured way. And I don't know, I
look at cultures, I look at people, you know, I
see people that don't take care of their stuff. I
(23:51):
see people and I see communities where a pool is
built and then it's trashed, or built, a housing complex
built and it's trashed. I see an automobile with three
hubcaps missing, and the automobile is trashed, and it's filthy.
And I can't help because it's the way I was raised.
(24:13):
It's values. I can't help but think how much of
who I am and I could see it in that house,
how much of who I am is? Those were the
values I was raised with, and I think those are
better values. It's Tracy Burrs.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the tsar of talk.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
My buddy, Michael Berry. Wall Street Journal has an article
this morning which they call a Wall Street Journal News exclusive.
A George Soros backed group is to plow millions of
dollars into trying to turn Texas blue. Texas Majority pack
(25:00):
will launch a Blue Texas Initiative Monday to try to
reverse decades of Democratic losses in the nation's second largest state.
Initiative will attempt to bolster democrats hope of making Texas
competitive after failing to win any state wide races since
(25:22):
nineteen ninety four. Democrats are launching a multimillion dollar effort,
helped by megadoner George Soros, to turn Texas into a
political battleground after suffering through decades of electoral losses in
the nation's second largest state. So, one of the dangers
(25:49):
of one party rule is that you become arrogant and
sloppy because you no longer have battles, competitive battles that
you have to win. So when the Republican Party nomination
(26:10):
becomes to facto the election, when novembers aren't sufficiently competitive,
what ends up happening is you lose sight of governing
in a manner that maintains a majority. You start doing
(26:35):
things in a sloppy manner, and you stop listening when
the voter, especially your base, complaints. You grow arrogant, You
start taking up causes that don't serve the public will
(26:59):
start taking up call is to serve very narrow special interests.
That is the THCHC band. You know what's interesting, My
views on marijuana have evolved over the years. When I
(27:20):
was growing up, my mother would refer to the dope,
and we were taught in school and at home and
at church. You don't mess with the dope. Dope is bad.
Dope heads. We'd refer to people as a dope head.
He got long hair, he got a tattoo, He's a
dope head. And dope was this horrible, terrible thing that
(27:45):
once it got hold of you, you couldn't get loose,
and you'd probably never bathe. It wouldn't allow you to bathe.
You'd be dirty. You'd be listening to Ozzy Osbourne and
your hair would be long, and you'd be green, and
you'd wear old concert heavy metal concert t shirts and
(28:05):
you'd be nasty and filthy, and nobody ever would be
around you because you were on the dope. You were
eat up with the dope. My mother would refer to
people being eat up with two things, not the dumb ass,
if that's what you're thinking. That was my dad, he
would say that, but not my mother. You would be
eat up with cancer or eat up with the dope.
(28:29):
And if you were eat up with the dope, it
had control of you. It was highly addictive and highly controlling,
and once once it had hold of you, you smelled
of it all the time, and it controlled every aspect
of your being, and nobody wanted to be around you
or hire you. Or marry you, or be your friend,
(28:50):
or frankly in the same room, because you were filthy
and dirty, like a pigpen in the Peanuts cartoons. And
then as I got I pretty much kept that view
for most of my early adult years. And then I
got to college and there was an army graduate there
(29:13):
was I had a classmate who was an army guy,
and he had suffered some injuries in the army. He
served in Desert Storm in ninety one ninety two, had
a real bad back, and we studied together, and he
(29:34):
was he was married. I was, I guess, getting married
that year, and his wife didn't like him to smoke
a joint, and so he'd have to wait till she
was gone, and he'd smoke a joint. And I would say, noon,
not in my presence, brouh you get you get arrested
for that. I might go, I don't want to be
a part of that. And I would ask him, why
(29:56):
do you do that? It seemed too smart to do that.
And he had back pain, and he was scared to
take a vicodin or whatever the chronic addictive prescription drug
that these Republicans would have you take. You're scared of
that and this gave him relief from a horrible back
pain and he walked slumped over. Relatively young guy served
(30:19):
I think seven years in the army. You know, fast forward,
fast forward him. So I would run into people who
were marijuana smokers, and they were not what I thought
those people were. They were not losers, they were not layabouts,
they were highly successful people. They were CEOs. And one
(30:46):
day I'm having a conversation with my brother who said,
I said, you know, I got approached by this group
called LEAP law Enforcement Against Prohibition and their former law
enforcement officers because you can't do it when you're active,
who are in favor of legalizing marijuana. And they claim
that based on their experience as law enforcement, they think
(31:07):
it's safer than alcohol. And my brother said, as I've
quoted many times, that if I was king, I'd rather
people do marijuana than alcohol, because I show up at
a lot of calls where a guy's beating the snot
out of his woman, a guy's in a bar fight,
a guy's in a car and he's killed somebody else,
all because of alcohol. He said. Most marijuana folks, whether
(31:29):
it's gummies, smoking it, vaping it, whatever, all they want
to do is sit on the couch and eat cheetos
and watch TV. He said much rather that at least
it don't harm anybody else. Well, the big complaint I
hear from little old ladies who grew up on reefer
madness videos and marijuan is that we cannot legalize or
(31:50):
decriminalize marijuana because nobody will go to work. It'll make
everybody real lazy. Does alcohol make people want to go
to work? Really? Does it? I mean is that it
We got to make laws to prevent people from being lazy.
If we can just keep them from having video games,
(32:10):
people don't go to people call in sick on that.
What about prescription drugs? Anyway, you got George Soros with
an eye toward Texas. So the last thing we could
do we should do is fumble. The last thing Ramon
should do is bring the music in too hot. So
(32:33):
you got Sorows put big money into winning Texas. And
what are our guys doing. Are they attacking property taxes
because that's a bipartisan issue. Even Democrats don't like to
pay high property taxes. No, they're not. Are they attacking
the issues that matter property taxes? No? I have never
(32:58):
in my life had an issue that I criticized a
statewide elected official, and I'm criticizing Dan Patrick ONNAS that
ninety five percent or more of you have said I'm
with you. I don't care. I will criticize if I
think it needs to be criticized. But there are many
times that people will go, dude, you're off base just
because they like the governor of the lieutenant governor. I
(33:19):
have had over ninety five percent response going this was
a bonehead move, this is an unforced error, huge mistake,
and then you've got sorrows ready to attack.
