Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Berry Show is on the air. To the phone lines,

(00:40):
we go seven, one, three, nine, nine, one thousand, Ted,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, yes, Sir Michael. I don't think it's only the
Charlie Kirk assassination that these young people motivated. I think
it's just what was stolen from these young people, these
high schoolers when they were in elementary and everything like that,
they had to wear masks, they can socialize, do anything.
Now these college kids, same thing that high school was
stolen from them. And then all the college kids that

(01:08):
are now older, they're like, my college experients are stolen
from me. So they're like this backlash on this COVID
mandate now that the Bidens did. And I think the
young people are like, man, let's just destroy the republics.
I mean, I'm sorry the Democrats, I hope, because they're
pissed off. So I'll hang up and let you elaborate.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, it's it's a I think there's a lot to
what you say. Let me start with that. And I
think that there are consequences to the way children are raised.

(01:52):
We see that in so many ways. You can go
to certain zip codes in this country and see the
likelihood that a young person is going to prison or
murdered before twenty one, and you'll see a lot. You'll
see a cluster effect of bad culture, and that's fatherless,

(02:15):
home street violence. Even the mechanisms in place as guardrails
are often broken, the local school, church, you name it.
And I think when you consider what was done to
children that was so different than what had been done before,

(02:35):
I think that you do have a detrimental effect on
the stability of a generation. To varying degrees depend on
their ability to cope and call audibles. But I don't
doubt that a number of the cases of what we're
seeing of these completely unhinged young people were certainly exacerbated

(03:01):
during the COVID era. We're talking about government locking people
down like prison inmates, and children especially that was difficult
for them. The mask, you know, one of the things
that used to make me rage to the point of violence,

(03:22):
was when you would see little bitty children pre kindergarten
either even, and they would put this mask on them
and it was scary for them and they didn't feel
like they could breathe and they're panicking, and that's a torture,
and they would keep putting it back on them. You

(03:43):
will just sit there and be tortured. What kind of
parent can do that. Well, one of the ways you're
able to do that is if you're convinced that what
is in the air is a deadly that's going to
take us all out. So that's why it was always

(04:04):
very important that everybody believe that COVID was the worst
virus in the history of mankind. We never seen anything
like it. You had to have great fear of it.
You couldn't look at it as the flu, since the
number of deaths as a result were about what the
flu is, and since it tended to attack people with

(04:27):
weak immunion logical systems as well. So the average healthy
person was at basically zero risk, zero risk if you
got it of having serious long term problems. You were,
it turns out, at a much greater risk if you

(04:48):
took the shot. You were better off doing nothing than
going and getting the shot. Well, it wasn't that the
shot was their best effort to save people. It was
their best effort to make a lot of money as
fast as they could and the things inside that shot,
it turns out, were not good for many people, and
so you have people who have long term conditions as

(05:10):
a result of this shot and what it does, how
it breaks down in the body, the systems that it affects,
the myocarditis, all of it, all of it. And this
coming on the heels of the autism report yesterday and
the potential effects of vaccines and other products on on

(05:34):
pregnant women, particularly because now you have a baby that
is ill equipped to deal with a surge and something
that it wouldn't already have not they've not built up
the strength of their organs and the like, so that
that can be very, very dangerous. But what you're left
with here is a government you can't trust. People you

(05:57):
should be able to trust that you cannot trust. And
that ends up having an effect in a number of
other ways. I think it affects civic involvement. People who
believe that elections are rigged and people are crooked tend
to vote less, not more. I know your response is, well,

(06:19):
that doesn't make any sense. If things are bad, you
vote to fix it. That is not how a number
of people look at it. A number of people just
say the government is broken. It can't be fixed. I'm
not going to waste any of my time or effort
on it. I'm going to focus on me and my
personal hobbies in my personal happy space. And they go

(06:41):
on about their business, and you lose the engagement of
people who are necessary in order to have a fully
properly functioning democratic republic. And that's I think a big
part of how we've ended up where we are today
is that on both sides, I think the Bushes told
lies about a number of things. No new taxes, reading

(07:03):
my lips, but also weapons of mass destruction and why
we went to war in Iraq, and for that matter,
why we went to war in Afghanistan and the way
we carried that war. I can't tell you how many
folks who served in those two wars are bitter about

(07:24):
how their service was treated. And then you see what
happened with the pharmaceutical companies and the schools and everything
related to that, and all the lies that are now
coming out. And then as we tried to talk about
it on Facebook and Twitter, the government was calling those
two the Biden administration was calling those two organizations and

(07:44):
they were taking things off. So now we were shut
off from the world. Young people were shut off from
the world, and if they had the wrong opinion, then
they were silenced. And that is that is a lot
for people to processes. And I think it's particularly a
lot for a young person to process when you're convinced

(08:05):
that the world is evil and no one can be trusted,
and they're you know, we're living in a simulation down
in a little glass jar, like an ant in a bottle,
and someone up above is what. Yeah, I do think
that affects young people's mental health.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Mitch michael Berry.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
The f g I says in court filings that classified
documents were found in John Bolton's d C office. A
description of the documents gathered in the August twenty second
search suggested they included materials that referenced weapons of mass destruction,
the US mission to the United Nations, and records related

(09:01):
to the US government's strategic communications. The FBI says there
were several folders that were labeled confidential and some pages
marked secret. FBI agents also carried out a search warrant
the same morning at Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland home. The inventory
from that search contained no outward indication that classified information

(09:24):
was located. However, in both instances, agents reported seizing computers
and other electronic devices whose contents were not detailed. Both
search warrant applications indicated FBI agents were seeking evidence related
to three felony offenses, including gathering, transmitting, or losing national

(09:46):
defense information in violation of the Espionage Act, and retaining
classified information without permission. This is like arresting a drug
on possession. The real crime that John Bolton has committed

(10:08):
is not retaining documents that are classified that he is
not allowed to take with him when he leaves office.
That's not what anybody cares about. That poses a danger
that someone could break in, instill that information and compromise
American security. Fine, yes, but the real crime here, and

(10:31):
this is where you get in to some extraordinarily high
crimes and treason sort of thing, is that he isn't
just possessing that information because he likes to hold it.
It's because he sells it, and he sells it for

(10:51):
a lot of money. So that if every person who
left working in our government at the highest ranks were
to steel every classified document they can get and leave
and go and sell that to the Qataris and others,
the Chinese the way the Bidens did, then you would

(11:14):
have a complete collapse of any sense of national security.
It would be as bad as you can imagine. The
White House has unveiled the Presidential Walk of Fame, with
Biden's portrait replaced with an Auto pin image. The story
from Fox News.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
The White House is unveiling a Presidential Walk of Fame
featuring portraits of US presidents, with the exception of former
President Joe Biden. The new display, just outside the Oval
Office along the colonnade there shows a framed photo of
an auto pen writing Biden's signature in place of the
former president's portrait. The White House released a photo today

(11:55):
of President Trump looking at the framed auto pen picture.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, he said he was going to do it if
whoever was running the Auto pin was signing the documents
that carry the president's power, and we know that wasn't
Joe Biden. And the wall is going to be a
wall of the people. Forget the title, the people in

(12:22):
charge making the top decisions, whose signature carries the weight
of law. Well, if that was the auto pen and
not Joe Biden, it's almost not even really a joke,
is it it's almost allegory. Fox Business reports trade schools
facing shortages in qualified instructors as student interest in trade

(12:42):
careers grow. The US Department of Education reports at least
twenty six states are experiencing shortage in career and technical
education teachers for the forthcoming school year. The story from
Fox Business, This.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Culinary program is part of APEX. It's a trade school
year in the Older Valley School district, and the principal
tells me they've been trying to fill one teaching position
since April. Still haven't found someone. So right now, a
district employee is filling in, and she tells me this
is not just a one off problem.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
I'm not just teaching kids head of cooker. We're teaching
time management, We're teaching teamwork.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
These high school students are making potato salad as part
of a culinary arts program.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
When we're teaching these kids these skills, experience does matter
and knowing what's happening in the food and beverage and hospitality.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Industry, teachers say. The accelerated culinary program lasts one year.
Students become everything from dietitians, hotel managers, even food influencers.
But the principal tells me it's been hard to find
qualified teachers because a lot of people already working in
trade industries just aren't looking to leave their jobs for
the classroom, and it's forced them to get creative to

(13:52):
keep programs running.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
But this year we're actually still looking for an auto
service teacher. We have been recruiting like from our partners
in the industry and things like that, and actually have
had to go to our BBSD Transportation and our fleet
manager is actually teaching the course right now.

Speaker 7 (14:10):
About a week before school started, I got a call
from my boss and asked me if I would be
interested in the first time ever teaching a ton of
automotive experience. Actually took this program, the collision program here
back in high school.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Andrew Thompson says, even though his role is only temporary,
industry experience has helped him make the transition into teaching
his students learn preventative maintenance, how to inspect tires, brakes,
and electrical systems.

Speaker 7 (14:38):
I just feel like super fortunate to be able to
like come back and give these kids an opportunity.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
I hope that if somebody is like maybe on the
edge and thinking that they want to be a teacher,
that this is something that they might look into.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Trade schools across the country, so they've had to use
fill in or substitute teachers to fill those gaps finding
trade school teachers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
in general, people need about three to five years of
experience in the industry before becoming a trade school teacher.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's think about how many people out there have knowledge
to share. Now they don't think of themselves as teachers.
But I think there is so much intellectual capital sitting
on the sidelines in this country that if we could
find a way to inspire it and engage it, you know,

(15:30):
I never forget. We had some friends over for dinner
years ago and one of the fellas who was at dinner,
his daughter had gone to law school with me. And
this fellow was a longtime Shell employee. He had made
his way to the top of Shell and to the
top ranks of Shell, and they were moving out of

(15:52):
their house and downsizing because the kids had gone off,
and he told the story about he was going to
donate all of his computers, every computer in the house,
to the local school. This was probably twenty years ago
or so. And they were surprised that the school said no, thanks,

(16:14):
we don't want your computers. You know, used computers are
of zero value. And I think it kind of turned
him off. Whereas there was an opportunity of a guy
maybe bring him in and engage him at the school.
Instead you just said no, we don't have that, we'll
leave it to I think it would be good for

(16:35):
the kids. I think it'd be good for the people
who can engage.

Speaker 8 (16:40):
Love may get me a cigaree.

Speaker 9 (16:47):
I had to drive it so crazy Colored Wama to
her doctor permit. I know you're not supposed to say colored,
no mo, but she is, honest to god, I don't
know what she is.

Speaker 8 (16:59):
She don't look like than I've ever saw before. I mean,
her skin color looked like somebody of Sherwin Williams is ketlog.
One of day said she thought she was a high
yellow red bone, and another lady said, no, she was
creole Eskimo looking. Oh my lord, anyway, I don't really
care what color she was. The thing that bothered me
she kept talking in the back of the car. Was

(17:20):
trying of listening at the radio and get her to
her ferment on time. Some kind of dermatology. That's when
they have a crab lights or a skabee or something
on it. Oh my god, I need to get my
car steam clean.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
She stayed in the back seat and she was just scratching, scratching,
scratching like a damn dog. She took her hind leg
up behind and started to do in the back of
her head to her wig fled off.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
I said, oh my god, Woma, do you want me
to pull over? And I didn't understand her answer. She
said something but I'm young, I'm yam yw I Now
I say, if you mewing like a candle as you
said nom nom, you hungry And I couldn't figure it out.
But finally I got her there, dropped off and they
did whatever they did. We went to Kroger drive through

(18:05):
they're so slow down there, and finally got her big
old tube of cream. And she's supposed to go on
to Smith all over herself. Oh, I hate being the
van driver for church. I do it once a month.
I really shouldn't be during that because I don't have
no driver license. No, I do it do for these
people died here.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I wanted to found the wrong article on Yeah hear
the Missouri woman who attempted to defraud Elvis Presley's granddaughter
out of ownership of Graceland by claiming that Lisa Marie
signed a deed of trust back in twenty eighteen to
secure a three point eight million dollar loan using Graceland
as collateral. Well, this Missouri woman that pulled off that

(18:55):
fraud or tried has been sentenced to more than four
years in prison. The story from WRGTV.

Speaker 11 (19:04):
It's one of America's most iconic landmarks, Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion.
Thousands of tourists visit every year, but it's also a
spot Lisa Findley decided to make the focus of an
elaborate scam. The fifty four year old, who lives in Missouri,
pled guilty to forging documents claiming Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley,
had borrowed millions using Graceland as collateral, then published fake

(19:27):
foreclosure notices in the newspaper. A judge sentenced Finley to
fifty seven months in prison. He based the decision partly
on her lengthy criminal history, although she has not been
convicted of any crimes in the last decade. He listed
off numerous convictions from the mid two thousands, with several
in Oklahoma, saying although they weren't violent crimes, they all
involved obtaining money under false pretenses like credit card offenses

(19:49):
and writing bogus checks, the judge saying quote, I don't
know how the defendant would think this would be accomplished.
Yet had it come to fruition, it would have been
a tragedy of justice. Finley's attorney argu for a lesser
sentence thirty six months three years in prison, saying quote,
it was an unrealistic, serious event and no way this
would have worked out, also saying there was no actual loss,

(20:11):
and argued against the use of the word sophisticated being
used in her sentencing, But the judge said, if this
isn't sophisticated, means I don't know what is.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I like that her defense? What was her defense? You know?
You know she can't really she's real dumb. And by
the way, she tried to steal all that money, but
she didn't actually get away with it, so maybe give
her less time for that. Everybody wants to be a victim.
BLM activist claims she was brutalized by the New York

(20:45):
police Department while she protested the death of Jordan Neely.
Bodycam footage shows she lied, so a federal judge tossed
her suit. So you can bring a fake case. You
can claim the cops beat you up as you were
protesting for Jordan Neely, the criminal who would hang out

(21:08):
in the Metro in the subway station and harassed people
and eventually got choked out and died by Daniel Perry. Well,
this woman, she was protesting his death because she was
upset he had died, and so she needed to act
foolish out in the streets and the cops beat her up,
she says, except they can stream together Bodykim footage that

(21:31):
says no, no, they didn't. So her lawsuit that she
brought to win the lottery has been tossed out. Well,
that's really not good enough. There needs to be more
done than just tossing out her suit. You don't just
get to claim police officers beat the hell out of
you and you're bringing a civil rights case against them,

(21:54):
and then they find out you've lied. They can prove
you've lied, and okay, you can't bring your case anymore.
It's hard for people to understand this. It really is
because they if they could ever understand it, we could
do something about it. There are certain people in our
society who are driving around all day, circling cars, smashing

(22:19):
the windows, stealing what they have. They have a fence,
racket pipeline already set up. They live this way every
single day. They do this, and you know at some
point you're their victim because you park and go to
lunch with your or go to dinner with your family,
or go to lunch to meet somebody, and you come
out and you're windshill's been shattered and all your stuff

(22:40):
and there's been stolen, and it's stressful as hell, and
you've been you feel violated. And what you find out
is that guy did twelve of these today, and he'll
do fifteen tomorrow and eleven the day before, and they
will eventually catch him, and a Democrat judge will see
fit and back out on the street every single time.

(23:03):
So what you're starting to understand is there is there
is a wart that grows on most of us. That
is the Democrats, it is the criminals, it is their
their judges. And you realize that living in this country
to varying degrees is a tax. You pay. It's an

(23:29):
ongoing reparation for criminals, for Democrats who've been elected to office,
to all these it is this ongoing sort of guilt money.
It's an omerita to the mafia that is the left wing.
It's green energy spending, it's a lot of government spending.
It is a court system that is in place to

(23:53):
prevent the criminals from being punished until it's one of
their own. And boy, when one of their own gets hit. Man,
oh man, do they ever swing into action. Oooh boy,
it's amazing to see. It is absolutely amazing to see
how interested they get in punishing criminals when that person

(24:16):
has harmed one of their own. And you fully understand
that all of this that we're having to deal with
is the tax we pay to live in the same
country as zim And the big story in this country
that doesn't get talked about because people are uncomfortable with it,

(24:40):
it is the ongoing migration of people away from the
inner city communities. The crime, the corruption, the prostitution, the homelessness,
the squalor that is cities, and so you're hollowing out
these cities and you've seen it across the country. You're
hollowing out these cities, and then you're left with voters

(25:00):
who don't have the good sense to know how to
bring about any change, and you got more and more
people fleeing the cities, getting to the suburbs, getting to
the ex serbs, getting to the rural communities, getting away
from that. Yesterday I realized I talked about this last night,
but I have not talked about it on the morning show,

(25:22):
and I will do so now. President Trump spoke at
the United Nations a couple of days ago, and one
of the important topics he addressed was what makes the
world beautiful is not that we are a globalized amalgam
of whatever the WEF chooses for us, all of us
cookie cuttered, master planned lives, people, careers, products. You know,

(25:51):
you can go to that same little strip center of
the same set of five below and ross dress for less,
and the same set of little mid price level restaurants
that are all the same, and buy your products from
the same tilt all building company. At some point, you

(26:14):
lose anything about what you made, what made you special.
There are no unique characteristics. There are no communities reflecting
backgrounds of the Czechs or the Poles or the French,
or the Germans. You just become one big amalgam of
a blob, President Trump, addressing that now they.

Speaker 12 (26:35):
Want to go to Sharia law, but you're in a
different country.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
You can't do that.

Speaker 12 (26:41):
Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be
the death of Western Europe. If something is not done immediately,
they cannot This cannot be sustained. What makes the world
so beautiful is that each country is unique. But to
stay this way, every sovereign nation must have the right
to control their own borders. You have the right to

(27:03):
control your borders as we do now, and to limit
the sheer numbers of migrants entering their countries and paid
for by the people of that nation that were there
and that built that particular nation at the time. They
put their blood, sweat, tears, money into that country, and

(27:23):
now they're being ruined. Proud nations must be allowed to
protect their communities and prevent their societies from being overwhelmed
by people they have never seen before, with different customs, religions,
with different everything. Where migrants have violated laws, large false
asylum claims or claimed refugee.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Status, President said it's time to end the failed experiment
of open borders.

Speaker 12 (27:54):
According to the Council of Europe in twenty twenty four,
almost fifty percent of inmates and German prisons were foreign
nationals or migrants. In Austria, the number was fifty three percent.
Of the people in prisons were from places that weren't
from where they are now. In Greece the number was

(28:16):
fifty four percent, and in Switzerland, Beautiful Switzerland, seventy two percent.
If the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland,
when your prisons are filled with so called asylum seekers
who repaid kindness, and that's what they did, they repaid
kindness with crime, it's time to end the failed experiment
of open borders.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
You have to end it now. It's true. It's true
because your nation does not get better when it goes
from being anywhere America to fifty five percent Pakistani immigrants overnight.
You're going to change the nature of your country. And

(28:58):
if that's what you want, fine, it's a choice you
get to make as to whether you want to do that.
President Trump warning those in attendance at the United Nations
that if they don't get away from their green energy scam,
their countries are going to fail.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
A gadocious way, but it's true.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I've been right about everything.

Speaker 12 (29:20):
According to the Council of Europe in twenty twenty four,
almost fifty percent of inmates in German prisons were foreign
nationals or migrants. In Austria, the number was fifty three percent.
Of the people in prisons were from places that weren't
from where they are now. In Greece the number was

(29:42):
fifty four percent, and in Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, seventy two percent.
If the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland,
when your prisons are filled with so called asylum seekers
who repaid kindness, and that's what they did, they repaid
kindness with crime, it's time to end the failed experiment
of open borders. You have to end it now. A

(30:03):
gadocious way, but it's true.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
I've been right about everything.

Speaker 12 (30:08):
And I'm telling you that if you don't get away
from the green energy scam, oh yeah, your country is
going to fail. And if you don't stop people that
you've never seen before, that you have nothing in common with,
your country is going to fail. I'm the President of
the United States, but I worry about Europe. I love Europe,

(30:28):
I love the people of Europe, and I hate to
see it being devastated by energy and immigration. This double
tailed monster destroys everything in its way, and they cannot
let that happen any longer. You're doing it because you
want to be nice, you want to be politically correct,
and you're destroying your heritage.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
President Trump was let's not forget a New Yorker, and
the United Nations does meet in New York. So he
was telling the story that years ago he had put
in a bid to rebuild the UN complex and make
it something you could be proud of, and instead they
went in another direction, paying a lot more money to

(31:15):
get a lot less for it. That's what the President says.
Here's here we hid on.

Speaker 12 (31:19):
The renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex.
I remembered so well. I said at the time that
I would do it for five hundred million dollars, rebuilding everything.
It would be beautiful. I used to talk about, I'm
going to give you Marlblo floors. They're going to give
you to Raza, I'm going to give you a best

(31:41):
of everything. You're going to have mahogany walls. They're going
to give you plastic. But they decided to go in
another direction, which was much more expensive at the time,
which actually produced a far inferior product. And I realized
that they did not know what they were doing when
it came to construction, and that their building concepts were

(32:02):
so wrong, and the product that they were proposing to
build was so bad and so costly. It was going
to cost them a fortune. And I said, and wait
till you see the overruns.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, I turned out to be right.

Speaker 12 (32:15):
They had massive cost overruns and spent between two and
four billion dollars on the building and did not even
get the marble floors that I promised them.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
There's so many things, and I want to say broken
countries are broken countries because they have bad systems and
bad culture. The human being himself is not bad. We
cannot deny that if you are raised within those cultures,

(33:00):
you do not always share the culture. The dominant American
paradigm of hard work, opportunity, equality, justice, fairness, ethics.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
So

Speaker 1 (33:14):
That has a lot to do with how buildings end
up on budget or not, in what quality, and a
number of other factors.
