Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
So many things happening. It's amazing at the end of
the week, how many important items I didn't get to.
Here's a great example. Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbert
is over. She's over in her lane doing amazing things,
and we haven't even I don't think we've talked about
her all week. Well, she announced that security clearances had
(00:24):
been pulled from thirty seven current and former officials who
quote abused public trust by politicizing and manipulating information, including
several who were involved that Obama ordered assessment of Russian
influence in the twenty sixteen election. She tells Hannity, they
(00:48):
aided and abetted in this action. This seditious conspiracy that
undermined our democracy, undermined our republic, and broke that sacred
trust that every one of these professionals is supposed to
to have, professionals is supposed to have from the American people.
This before, of course, coming a couple of days before
John Bolton's home and office were raided. So things are happening, folks,
(01:14):
Things are happening. Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
They used the Steele dossier knowing John Brennan knew, James
Clapper knew, others within the intelligence community knew that the
Steele dossier was a political manufactured document intended to be
weaponized against then candidate Donald Trump. Well, Donald Trump won
the election. The American people voted for Donald Trump in
(01:38):
twenty sixteen. So these intelligence leaders in John Brennan and
James Clapper and James Comy, then Director of the FBI,
then used this Steele dossier as a source for this
Obama directed new intelligence assessment, again stating and alleging that
putin Russia tried to help Trump win the election, clearly
(02:02):
showing a preference for Donald Trump. Now, if you go
to ODNI dot gov, people who say, well, Tulsie, this
is just your view or your interpretion. No, it's all
in hundreds of pages of documents that I've declassified and
released that show point by point exactly what happened through
this timeline that showed this very dangerous thing that occurred
(02:25):
in the creation of Russiagate, the creation of this manufactured
intelligence assessment that essentially had the intent of undermining the
voices and votes of the American people who elected Donald
Trump with the outcome of that election, and so they
created this politicized, weaponized piece of fake intelligence that, as
you mentioned, then went on to serve as a foundation
(02:47):
for everything that came after the multiple investigations, the year's
long Muller investigation, two congressional impeachments, investigations in the raid
at mar A Lago, the list goes on and on. Simately,
the real crime here was against the American people, because
this action singularly undermined the integrity of our democratic republic.
(03:10):
What to speak of the fact that some of those
folks in those thirty seven individuals that we revoked directed
the revocation of security clearances from today under the direction
of President Trump. They aided and embedded in this action,
this seditious conspiracy that undermined our democracy, undermined our republic,
(03:32):
and broke that sacred trust that every one of these
professionals is supposed to have from the American people.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So, while Toolsey Gabbert is doing her part cash Buttell
doing his part with the FBI. He was on Fox
Business a few days ago with Larry Cudlow, and he
was talking about what the Biden administration's FBI had done
at mar A Lago and the fact that they had
no basis to do that, and they did, and therefore
(04:02):
there must be accountability.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Creating a crime where one did not exist. The answer
has been definitive. There was no crime, There was no
predicate to go and invade Donald Trump's home. We have
answered that definitively. Now you know me working backwards from
that point, We are going to hold people accountable who
weaponize that system of justice for the following reason. With
(04:25):
we the FBI must restore accountability and credibility of the
American public so we can arrest more Top ten predators,
so we can go after more terrorists, so we can
find the other people involved in Abbigate. These are the
cases that matter to the FBI, and the distractions, to
put it mildly, from the prior leadership regime are what
thwarted the American public's belief and credibility in the FBI.
(04:47):
And so when they do raids like mar A Lago,
now the American public knows it was made up. It
was completely false, it was completely unconstitutional pursuit to our
judicial courts, and we are working into those matters to
say why did you do it? We know there was
no reason. Now it's time for accountability and that's who
we're talking to. And by the way, Larry, i'd like
to announce on your show, if you got nothing to
(05:07):
hide and you are DOJ and FBI before, you're welcome
to come talk to the FBI at any time. And
if you don't want to come talk to us, we're
going to come find you and we're going to put
you in an investigative position and posture that will make
you feel very uncomfortable, kind of like you did when
you weaponize the government. The only difference is we're going
to be doing it on a factual, legal, and constitutional
(05:28):
basis to do so.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett was on CNN with Dana Bash
when she thought she had a gotcha question about the
National Guard in DC cleaning up our nation's capital. Oh,
I'm going to catch this Republican.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Are you okay with your state's National Guard resources being.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Used to deter crime here in Washington and why not
in your home state?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, fraam, I am, I'm Washington, DC.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Of course was a creation of the Congress, and I
believe it's within the president constitutional purview. And you know,
lawlessness outbreaks. There's a lot of political wherewithal in Memphis, Tennessee.
It has really a history of.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You know, the political I guess you.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
I won't to say political gangs, but political families have
run that town and they've frankly, they've run it into
the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And some of them, why not National Guard troops there.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
It's a red state, it's not a federal it's not
a federally created environment. Washington, d C's a federally created environment.
Is our nation's capital. When people pull in to Washington,
d C. And they see someone going to the bathroom
on the curb, or they see crime, or you see
Washington d C. Bureaucrats coming to the oversight committee and
tell us that there is no crime yet during that
(06:46):
very hearing, a group of thugs carjacked a kid in
the jeep and another thing.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I think there's just out of touch.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
If you go back and look at that meeting and
oversight Dana, they had six white.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Men explaining to the committee.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
And I made the ourques and I asked, I said,
why are there not any.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
People of color? Why are there not any black folks
on this thing?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
And the activists in the crowd, who are neighborhood people
that were the victims of all this.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
They were nodding in agreement.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I think you've got a bureaucracy in Washington that's out
of touch with what's going on with reality.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He's turned out to be a contributor to the conversation,
Tim bridget a useful part of what we're doing in
this country.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
To fix it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
The Justice and Intelligence Correspondence, which is ironic for MSNBC.
Kendalanian is worried that other crime investigations will suffer as
the FBI is focused on violent crime. I mean, they're
not police officers. They don't normally investigate violent crimes. They
(07:56):
shouldn't be investigating violent crime. They might be stepping on
someone's toes.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
According to our MSNBC exclusive reporting, his priorities are raising
concerns in and out of the bureau that with a
new focus on violent crime, other FBI priorities like national security,
white collar fraud, and cybercrime could get less attention. MSNBC
Justice and Intelligence correspondent Kendelanian joins us Now, Ken, what
are your FBI sources telling you about how this change
(08:22):
could impact Americans and what they expect from the FBI.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Welly, they're concerned that what has been the FBI's number
one mission since nine to eleven, which is preventing a
terrorist attack on the United States. So that is falling by
the wayside amid this rhetoric. You heard him say, let
cops be cops. FBI agents are not generally cops. They
don't consider themselves cops. Often they are lawyers and accountants.
They're investigators, and they do work on violent crime, but
(08:45):
their priorities for generations, they've had other priorities ahead of that,
including the national security priorities, not only stopping terrorist attacks,
but fighting, for example, Chinese espionage, cybercrime, and then there's
the whole gamut of sort of white collar crime, public corruption, fraud.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All of that now.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Is getting less attention because Patel has essentially made a
series of changes where he's ordering that all agents be
spending some time on violent crime as well as immigration enforcement.
Last week, there was a call in which it was
announced that all FBI agents would be equipped with tasers.
Now that sounds like no big deal because a lot
of police officers have tasers, but that is not what
(09:22):
FBI agents do. They don't patrol the streets, right, and
so that sent a message to a lot of my sources. Wow,
things are really changing here, and not for the good.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Only for the good. See that's the whole point. Family
members of murdered victims in this country are saying, I
want the violent crime to end, and Ken Delanian's going, no,
we can't really end it because we don't want FBI agents.
See that's just it. You're all about your process and
(09:52):
you're all about insuring failure. And the difference is we're
going to fix this problem because guess what if we're
paying people with tax dollars and they could be helping
to stop violent crime, why wouldn't we What you're witnessing
here is the absolute simple difference, and it's fundamental and
(10:18):
profound and with real consequences of whether you want to
solve the problems in this country or whether you want
to find excuses for why it can't. And they really
believe that Trump is making fools of them because he's
showing you can solve these problems. They don't want you
(10:39):
to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You can solve these problems. It can be done.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Greg Guttfelt called out Democrats for breaking the country and
then yelling about the cleanup.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
The only poll that matters happened in November twenty twenty four.
You don't have to listen to the Washington Post. You
don't have to listen to these polls anymore. To you,
they were wrong about everything. Has anyone in the legacy
media ever asked the liberal leader how many illegals are
in your city, or your state or your country. It
seems to me, if you wanted to really fix a problem,
(11:11):
you should at least know the size of the problem.
And what does that tell you? They never saw it
as a problem. It was just a solution to pad
up the census. But if filling a bucket and you
don't care if the bucket can carry those gallons, it's
either a side of mental illness or sabotage. So now
we're stuck cleaning up the mess, and it's not pretty,
(11:33):
and we're getting yelled at for doing it, but we're
doing it. Homes weren't vetted for these migrant kids. You
didn't know that because you didn't count them. So now
we're stuck being the bad guy for cleaning up your
freaking mess. You know, the Dems should be happy, because
remember how they fretted about how the illegals would no
longer mow their lawns, or wipe their asses or trim
their overgrown bush. Good news, there's still plenty of low
(11:58):
wage workers willing to do the job that were beneath you.
And get this, they're getting paid more because there's no
competition from the cheaper labor i e. The slaves that
you imported over should the party that was always screaming
about living wages, shouldn't they be happy that Americans are
finally getting paid a little more now that you got
rid of the illegal labor. No, they're not, because they
(12:19):
didn't do it. They didn't want to do it. All
about the census once again, how would you do this differently?
Would you no longer deport would you no longer report
the worst?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
First?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
It doesn't matter because you conflated both from the start,
just like you're doing with a mariachi band and MS thirteen.
To you, it's the same damn thing, legal and illegal.
Worst first everybody, it's all the same, But the White
House distinguished worse from the first. In order to do that, however,
you have to go through the millions of people that
(12:51):
you let in. That's how you find the worst. Surprise,
you don't even cooperate with that through your sanctuary city mess.
This is another issue that you have lost the right
to complain. You broke it, you don't get to tell
us how.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
To fix it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You know, Greg Guttfeld was a comedian, and people have
a tendency to dismiss comedians.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh, he's just a comedian.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Comedians can have an incredible, profound impact. Our side tends
to view comedians as lesser people, are silly people, kind
of like a dad who doesn't want his kid to
go into comedy because he's worried, you know how you
pay your bills. But comedians entertain people, and make no mistake,
(13:40):
what I do is entertainment. What Clay and Buck do
is entertainment. What Rush did was entertainment. Much of what
Trump does is entertainment. When you entertain and engage, you
are teaching, you are molding, you are persuading. Gutfeld came
from a sigh made of from an angle of advocacy.
(14:08):
It was quite different than most people who are doing
what he's doing. Not a newsman. He's an entertainer, and
I think that unique skill set puts him in a
great position to be able to tell stories and be
convincing in a way that some others don't. It's not
that one is better than the other, but I can
(14:30):
appreciate his unique style, and as he has grown into
this person he's become, as his skill sets coalesced to
create it, I think Guttfeld is one of the underrated
stars of our team. All Right, one more before we go.
Chris Cuomo formerly of CNN, he got kicked out and
(14:52):
you got Andrew Cuomo, formerly of political fame, and now
he can't hold his own against Kami Mandani. That family
has had a fall from grace, quite a fall from grace,
but they're still out there. They're still plugging. Chris Cuomo,
I think is right when he says this, The Democrat
(15:13):
Party is dead. He says his father's party doesn't exist anymore.
Let me tell you his father, Mario Cuomo. They begged
his father to run for president in eighty eight ninety two,
and I believe if he got in he would have won.
But there were some scandals and some really big questions
(15:34):
about his life that he did not want to have
a spotlight on his personal and professional life, and so
he would do this hamlet to be or not to
be the candidate, and he would choose not to run
after all, a decision maybe Gary Hart should have made.
(15:58):
But it's important to under he was, for all intents
and purposes that the golden Boy Mario Cuomo, the governor
of Democrat politics across the country. He would speak at
their conventions. He was he was beloved. And now his
son says that party's gone. That the party of his father,
that's a thing of yesteryear.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
So my father's battle was against trickle down economics in
Reagan Republicanism. Okay, the Democratic Party that he fought for
and the Republican Party that he fought against neither exists anymore.
My father's party was take care of the little guy.
Take care of the little guy, Take care of the
(16:40):
little guy. Stay out of our bedroom, stay out of
my heart. Okay, just do all the government we need,
but only the government we need. And we're a secular society.
Don't put anything else on me. That's who they were.
Republicans at that time were teaching to the top, for
(17:01):
the top, about the top. Everybody should be the cee
world through the eyes of the top, and everything else
is great because the top has it great. That was
the conflict now it's the left arguing for a cultural elite.
This is how you will talk about people, Benny, This
is how you will raise your kids. This is what
(17:21):
you will tell them, is okay, this is what you
know you will say and not say. And the Republicans
are this system sucks. All the little people are getting squashed.
These elites are killing us anti everything. They flipped in
terms of their operative animus and their constituencies out of
(17:42):
convenience and time. So my father's party is no more socialism.
He believed that the opportunity to be part of a
free market was exactly why his parents illiterate, Okay, unsophistic,
de caated, untrained, except with a heart, you know, three
(18:04):
tie sizes too big, filled with ambition and dreams to
come to be able to compete, you know, without some
feudal system on your head in rural Italy, where they
were telling you who you could be and how you
could be, was worth everything. The idea of going to
socialism not socialistic. Yes, public education, yes, entitlements. Yes, there
(18:26):
are socialistic aspects to our constitutional republic within a capitalistic
model that work. They work for the collective, that's what
we do. But it's a capitalistic society. No democrat ever
argued for anything else. No democrat would have argued for
open borders.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
None of this. My father would have done, none of this.
If you liked the Michael.

All of that now.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Is getting less attention because Patel has essentially made a
series of changes where he's ordering that all agents be
spending some time on violent crime as well as immigration enforcement.
Last week, there was a call in which it was
announced that all FBI agents would be equipped with tasers.
Now that sounds like no big deal because a lot
of police officers have tasers, but that is not what
(09:22):
FBI agents do. They don't patrol the streets, right, and
so that sent a message to a lot of my sources. Wow,
things are really changing here, and not for the good.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Only for the good. See that's the whole point. Family
members of murdered victims in this country are saying, I
want the violent crime to end, and Ken Delanian's going, no,
we can't really end it because we don't want FBI agents.
See that's just it. You're all about your process and
(09:52):
you're all about insuring failure. And the difference is we're
going to fix this problem because guess what if we're
paying people with tax dollars and they could be helping
to stop violent crime, why wouldn't we What you're witnessing
here is the absolute simple difference, and it's fundamental and
(10:18):
profound and with real consequences of whether you want to
solve the problems in this country or whether you want
to find excuses for why it can't. And they really
believe that Trump is making fools of them because he's
showing you can solve these problems. They don't want you
(10:39):
to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You can solve these problems. It can be done.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Greg Guttfelt called out Democrats for breaking the country and
then yelling about the cleanup.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
The only poll that matters happened in November twenty twenty four.
You don't have to listen to the Washington Post. You
don't have to listen to these polls anymore. To you,
they were wrong about everything. Has anyone in the legacy
media ever asked the liberal leader how many illegals are
in your city, or your state or your country. It
seems to me, if you wanted to really fix a problem,
(11:11):
you should at least know the size of the problem.
And what does that tell you? They never saw it
as a problem. It was just a solution to pad
up the census. But if filling a bucket and you
don't care if the bucket can carry those gallons, it's
either a side of mental illness or sabotage. So now
we're stuck cleaning up the mess, and it's not pretty,
(11:33):
and we're getting yelled at for doing it, but we're
doing it. Homes weren't vetted for these migrant kids. You
didn't know that because you didn't count them. So now
we're stuck being the bad guy for cleaning up your
freaking mess. You know, the Dems should be happy, because
remember how they fretted about how the illegals would no
longer mow their lawns, or wipe their asses or trim
their overgrown bush. Good news, there's still plenty of low
(11:58):
wage workers willing to do the job that were beneath you.
And get this, they're getting paid more because there's no
competition from the cheaper labor i e. The slaves that
you imported over should the party that was always screaming
about living wages, shouldn't they be happy that Americans are
finally getting paid a little more now that you got
rid of the illegal labor. No, they're not, because they
(12:19):
didn't do it. They didn't want to do it. All
about the census once again, how would you do this differently?
Would you no longer deport would you no longer report
the worst?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
First?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
It doesn't matter because you conflated both from the start,
just like you're doing with a mariachi band and MS thirteen.
To you, it's the same damn thing, legal and illegal.
Worst first everybody, it's all the same, But the White
House distinguished worse from the first. In order to do that, however,
you have to go through the millions of people that
(12:51):
you let in. That's how you find the worst. Surprise,
you don't even cooperate with that through your sanctuary city mess.
This is another issue that you have lost the right
to complain. You broke it, you don't get to tell
us how.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
To fix it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You know, Greg Guttfeld was a comedian, and people have
a tendency to dismiss comedians.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh, he's just a comedian.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Comedians can have an incredible, profound impact. Our side tends
to view comedians as lesser people, are silly people, kind
of like a dad who doesn't want his kid to
go into comedy because he's worried, you know how you
pay your bills. But comedians entertain people, and make no mistake,
(13:40):
what I do is entertainment. What Clay and Buck do
is entertainment. What Rush did was entertainment. Much of what
Trump does is entertainment. When you entertain and engage, you
are teaching, you are molding, you are persuading. Gutfeld came
from a sigh made of from an angle of advocacy.
(14:08):
It was quite different than most people who are doing
what he's doing. Not a newsman. He's an entertainer, and
I think that unique skill set puts him in a
great position to be able to tell stories and be
convincing in a way that some others don't. It's not
that one is better than the other, but I can
(14:30):
appreciate his unique style, and as he has grown into
this person he's become, as his skill sets coalesced to
create it, I think Guttfeld is one of the underrated
stars of our team. All Right, one more before we go.
Chris Cuomo formerly of CNN, he got kicked out and
(14:52):
you got Andrew Cuomo, formerly of political fame, and now
he can't hold his own against Kami Mandani. That family
has had a fall from grace, quite a fall from grace,
but they're still out there. They're still plugging. Chris Cuomo,
I think is right when he says this, The Democrat
(15:13):
Party is dead. He says his father's party doesn't exist anymore.
Let me tell you his father, Mario Cuomo. They begged
his father to run for president in eighty eight ninety two,
and I believe if he got in he would have won.
But there were some scandals and some really big questions
(15:34):
about his life that he did not want to have
a spotlight on his personal and professional life, and so
he would do this hamlet to be or not to
be the candidate, and he would choose not to run
after all, a decision maybe Gary Hart should have made.
(15:58):
But it's important to under he was, for all intents
and purposes that the golden Boy Mario Cuomo, the governor
of Democrat politics across the country. He would speak at
their conventions. He was he was beloved. And now his
son says that party's gone. That the party of his father,
that's a thing of yesteryear.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
So my father's battle was against trickle down economics in
Reagan Republicanism. Okay, the Democratic Party that he fought for
and the Republican Party that he fought against neither exists anymore.
My father's party was take care of the little guy.
Take care of the little guy, Take care of the
(16:40):
little guy. Stay out of our bedroom, stay out of
my heart. Okay, just do all the government we need,
but only the government we need. And we're a secular society.
Don't put anything else on me. That's who they were.
Republicans at that time were teaching to the top, for
(17:01):
the top, about the top. Everybody should be the cee
world through the eyes of the top, and everything else
is great because the top has it great. That was
the conflict now it's the left arguing for a cultural elite.
This is how you will talk about people, Benny, This
is how you will raise your kids. This is what
(17:21):
you will tell them, is okay, this is what you
know you will say and not say. And the Republicans
are this system sucks. All the little people are getting squashed.
These elites are killing us anti everything. They flipped in
terms of their operative animus and their constituencies out of
(17:42):
convenience and time. So my father's party is no more socialism.
He believed that the opportunity to be part of a
free market was exactly why his parents illiterate, Okay, unsophistic,
de caated, untrained, except with a heart, you know, three
(18:04):
tie sizes too big, filled with ambition and dreams to
come to be able to compete, you know, without some
feudal system on your head in rural Italy, where they
were telling you who you could be and how you
could be, was worth everything. The idea of going to
socialism not socialistic. Yes, public education, yes, entitlements. Yes, there
(18:26):
are socialistic aspects to our constitutional republic within a capitalistic
model that work. They work for the collective, that's what
we do. But it's a capitalistic society. No democrat ever
argued for anything else. No democrat would have argued for
open borders.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
None of this. My father would have done, none of this.
