Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time sign sign luck and load Michael
Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We believe that there's an encryption on the.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Back, an encryption like a code of what.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Of choreograph, a map, a map of what, the location
of hidden items of historic and intrinsic value.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
A treasure map.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What we're seeing now is an attempt by the White
House to insulate itself from any kind of congressional scrutiny,
any kind of congressional oversight, to make sure that Donald
Trump remains the authoritarian.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Figure that he has become.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We have a compliant Congress, and he wants to ensure that,
given the fact that they pass this bill that is
on popular, that takes healthcare away from people, that gives
tax breaks to billionaires, and it puts at risk the
Republican majority, he wants to ensure that he continues to
have that compliant Republican House of Representatives. And that, I
think is something that we need to take into account.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Our democracy is threatened.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Our democracy is really threatened by what the Republicans are
proposing to do in Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Why Donald Trump is asking for five more Republicans heat
out of Texas, It's because his policies, especially his economic policies,
had been so bad. Right the prior guests referenced the
big beautiful bill, wait till people start losing their health
care and their health care costs go up. If Republicans
were confident on their policy agenda, they'd be eager to
defend it with the people and to defend it at
(01:42):
the ballot box next November. But they know they're in trouble,
and so they're trying to rig the system to hold
onto power next November. That's what this redistricting move is
really a bad.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Texas Covernor Greg Abbott seems set on making it happen,
threatening to remove Democrats who left the state to block
the vote from office if they don't return, but also
writing in a letter late Sunday that they could face
felony charges for raising money to pay for fines and
expenses while out of state, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,
who's running for Senate, also signaling his support, saying Democrats
(02:12):
should be found, arrested and brought back to the capital immediately.
But Democrats from Texas and around the country say they're
ready for the fight.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
What Texas is doing right now is a craven.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Power grab, and as I.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Said, we're going to.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Fight fire with firemen.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
A reflective math would look like the fact that only
thirty nine percent of this state is Anglo.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So how in the heck.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Do we have sixty percent of the seats that go
to DC are going to be decided by Anglos. That's
the math that doesn't work. We need to flip the numbers.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
Republican James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee,
announced today that the committee is compelling the following individuals
to appear for depositions through issued subpoenas. And yes, the
House has subpoena power to require someone to appear before them,
(03:12):
just as with the court. Those individuals and the date
on which they must appear before the House of Representatives.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton October ninth. Former President
Bill Clinton October fourteenth. Former US Attorney General Merrick Garland
(03:36):
October two Former FBI Director Jim Comey October seventh. Former
US Attorney General William Barr August eighteenth. Former US Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales of Texas August twenty sixth. Former US
(03:56):
Attorney General Jeff Sessions August twenty eighth, former FBI Director
Robert Mueller. September second, former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
You'd forgotten her, hadn't you? September ninth. Former US Attorney
General Eric Holder, September thirtieth.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
Oh Ho ho, This is gonna be good. This is
gonna be good. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Merrick Garland, Jim Comy,
William Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, Jeff Sessions, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch,
and Eric Holder. Attorney General Pam Bondy has instructed her
(04:43):
staff to take action on a criminal referral from Director
of National Intelligence Toolsey Gabbard concerning the conspiracy to link
President Donald Trump to Russia. The Department of Justice is
now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter that is,
the Russian collusion hoax. Bondi personally directed a federal prosecutor
(05:06):
whose identity has not been disclosed, to begin legal proceedings.
The prosecutor is expected to present evidence to a grand jury,
a move that could lead to a formal indictment. MSNBC's
Nicole Wallace broke the news of the grand jury and
called the allegations debunked.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
You see, they don't report on the news. They state
that this is what Trump is doing, but of course
there's nothing to this. They state that people oppose the
COVID shot, but of course those people have been debunked.
They state that people oppose climate change, global warming, but
of course those people are crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They don't report and let you decide.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
They attempt to tell you that what is being offered, said, announced,
released is untrue, and here they've released it go ahead.
Speaker 11 (06:00):
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation
into the so called Russia Gate conspiracy allegations made by
the Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard. The senior Trump
administration official, confirms to NBC News that investigation was first
reported by Fox News. These are unsubstantiated and largely debunked
(06:21):
allegations by the Trump administration that former President Barack Obama
and his aides in the intelligence community ordered a probe
into the twenty sixteen Trump campaign's connections to Russia to
ruin his chances of becoming president.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The source tells.
Speaker 11 (06:36):
NBC News that a letter signed by Pam Bondi instructs
an unnamed federal prosecutor to begin presenting evidence to secure
potential indictments.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Bizarre is on well done. So this is the Michael
Verie Show.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
Oh I got to marked two things off my book
at list last night. Number one, I got to see
a show at Red Rocks outside of Denver, from which
our show is coming to you today. And number two,
I got to meet and hang out with zz Top
the band as Frank Beard's guest, the longtime drummer almost
(07:17):
sixty years. Unbelievable to imagine. Unbelievable to imagine being out
on the road for almost sixty years.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's a pretty cool story.
Speaker 9 (07:32):
Frank Beard. He's the only member of the band who
doesn't have a beard. His two twin sons, Nico and Rory,
are texts for the band. So they set up his
drum kit, they set up his back line, his in
(07:54):
ear monitors, they do all the testing. It's a very
lean operation, probat biggest show. How big a show they
put on. Course, they were always to use their term
trace ombres. They're a small They're only a three member band.
Dusty Hill passed and Elwood, who was his guitar tech,
stepped right in a week later. They only took a
(08:14):
week off and he said, I can't replace Dusty, and
they said, you've been watching us for forty years, you
can damn well do it. And he did, and he
does a great job, and he fits right in so
little personal news. That was a real treat for me
to get to do that, a real treat. Indeed, President
(08:34):
Trump earlier today went on on the roof of the
White House and he was inspecting the renovations. And while
up there, the press was waiting at the gate outside,
and they're barking questions at him, and he's answering the
questions from up on top of the roof. Jim Mudd
(08:58):
has software that can and reduce a lot of the
ambient noise in the background.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I half wish he hadn't so.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
You would get the full experience of what this sounded like.
These reporters are screaming questions at Trump and he's up
on top of the roof talking down to them down
below as he walks around. I mean, there's nobody I
can't imagine Biden doing that. He'd fall off, but nobody
else could pull this off. Nobody else has the flare
(09:25):
for the dramatic Trump does.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Here's just a little clip of that. Trump is on
the roof of the White House. He's taking questions, or
he was just a few moments ago. Let's listen in.
Please the.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Boys spend money. It's just another way to spend my
money for the country.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
President Trump, well get him in just a moment.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
The House Oversight Committee, as we told you, has sent
subpoenas to several individuals to appear before the House over
Oversight Committee to be asked questions to answer for their crimes.
Those include Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Merrick Garland, Jim Comey,
William Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, Jeff Sessions, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch,
(10:26):
and Eric Holder.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh, this should be good.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Attorney General Pam Bondy has instructed their staff to take
action on a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence
Toolseee Gabbard concerning the Russia hoax and the attempt to
bring down Trump in his first term. You know they
are onto something. Because the media can't report the story,
(10:51):
they have to smear the story. Here's MSNBC's Joe Scarborough
who said that Joe Biden was He's known him for decades.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
He was as good as he's ever been.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
This is the best Joe Biden If you don't like that,
you can kiss his ass.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But this is the best Joe Biden.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
A matter of days before Biden was smothered and taken
out because he didn't know where he was well, Jose
Garborough says, this grand jury is just extraordinarily stupid.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
This is extraordinarily stupid.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
It's extraordinarily stupid on so many count If you look
at the timeline, the timeline doesn't add up.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It's like when Donald Trump is.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton created that Epstein files. No, no, no, no,
that all happened during Donald Trump's first term.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You look at the timeline here.
Speaker 12 (11:35):
About what happened and when it happened. Barack Obama had
nothing to do with this, by anybody's accounts, and especially
by the Senate Republican Intelligence Committee run by Marco Rubio,
who afterwards said that it was Donald Trump's twenty sixteen
campaign that created a quote grave intelligent counterintelligence threat the
(12:00):
United States of America. That was Marco Rubio, the current
Secretary of State. That was every Republican on the Senate
Intel Committee. After pouring through all of the documents, that's
what they found.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
And when poor John Durham was made.
Speaker 12 (12:15):
To sacrifice his professional career to go around the world
investigating the investigators. He found nothing and ended up making
a fool of himself. I mean, we even found out
that the two documents had supposedly fed into the Clinton conspiracy,
that she was the one pushing this actually was Russian disinformation.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
So again they know in the Justice.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
Department, from the same folks who told you, take the shot,
you won't get COVID. Take the shot, you won't spread COVID.
Take the shot. It's incredibly safe and there is no
(13:00):
threat to your health as a result of taking it.
The same folks who told you that COVID started at
an open air market in Wuhun, which just happened to
be a matter of feet from the Gain of Function
(13:22):
research lab that FAUCI was funding against United States law,
where they did actually create the virus.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh, they're scared, they are scared. We'll take it to
the break on this.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
CNN's legal analyst Elie Honing said that election interference and
manufacturing intelligence, those aren't crimes.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
What's the crime, I mean, what's even the potential crime?
I can seriously, I mean, I'm not trying to be competational.
Here can anyone at this table even articulate what the
potential crime might be the election interference, manufactured and talented crime, crime,
obstruction of justice.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Okay, so you've said.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
A crime, though, what is obstruction of business and anything?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The grand jury says no.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
And to that point, let me let me further.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was of statute of limitation.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
There you are. That's where I was going to.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
It's the problem. I mean, this is ancient history legally, right.
The statute of limitations in almost every federal crime is
five years.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This stuff was nine years.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
It's an ongoing conspiracy, and so that came.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Was gone from They didn't commit a crime, they didn't
do anything to oh they did it, but it's not
a crime. And then they go, oh, yeah, but the
statute of limitations have passed. Trump kind a really good weekend.
It's such a good weekend that we didn't have a
chance to get to all of it yesterday. There were
so many things he had to say that we found
to be most interesting that we well, we just an
(14:52):
entire show and we didn't get to it all. This
was probably the most important thing that President Trump said
over the weekend that did not get our coverage, and
I'd like to give it that coverage now. He called
defeating the climate hysteria hoax an urgent task.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Folks. I think if you realized.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
In how many ways your life has been negatively affected
by the hoax of global warming, how much more you
pay for things, how many things you don't have that
you could have had, how much less enjoyable your life is,
how many jobs have been lost, and how that affects you.
(15:44):
All of these things because of this childlike fantasy of
global warming. To hear the President say this makes my
heart flutter because so many Republicans cannot bring themselves to
say this, and that makes me crazy.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
One of the most urgent tasks, not only for our
movement but for our country is to decisively defeat the
climate hysteria hoax. The ocean is rising, and it's rising,
it's coming. It's within three hundred years, we're going to
gain one hundredths of an inch in the ocean and
have a little more beachfront property. It's going to be
(16:26):
a terrible thing.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
No, it's a hoax. The whole thing is a total
it's so crazy.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
In the meantime, our factories can't perform. They want us
to use wind wind intermittent when Darling, I'd like to
watch the President tonight on television, No, you can't. The
wind isn't blowing, right, the wind isn't blow There's no
television tonight, Darling.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
The wind isn't blowing.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
And by the way, our house went down to about
thirty percent of the value because when you're a windmill,
that makes a lot of noise, kills all our birds
and ruins a landscape.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Other than that, it's a wonderful thing for the environment.
These people are crazy.
Speaker 13 (17:02):
But they are radical climate people, and I don't believe
they mean it.
Speaker 14 (17:06):
They can't mean.
Speaker 13 (17:07):
It because it's too it's too easy.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
They can't mean it.
Speaker 13 (17:11):
The radical lefts fear mongering about climate and our future
is no longer just scaring the American youth. It's destroying
America's economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating our middle class
is really hurting us.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
And conservative leaders.
Speaker 13 (17:25):
Think tanks and intellectuals must be fearless in calling out
the lunacy of what you're seeing and what you're being
led into the world is not ending.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Our future is not dying.
Speaker 13 (17:38):
We have to defeat the climate hoasters once and for all.
You know, they said we only had twelve years to live.
That was four years ago. Remember they said our country
has twelve years and that was like, I said, oh,
what happened? What happened? They said it's the climate. I said, really, oh,
that doesn't make sense. So that means we only have
(17:59):
eight years. That's ridiculous. The real problem is with nuclear weapons,
we may only.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Have six months.
Speaker 13 (18:08):
You talk about global warming, that's the real global warming,
not that global warming hoax that they don't even use
it anymore. They call it climate change. Remember they used
to call.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It global warming.
Speaker 13 (18:19):
The planet is one, but that wasn't working out the
well because a lot of places were extremely cool.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
So they were getting killed.
Speaker 13 (18:26):
They were getting killed, and then they change it all
of a sudden climate change.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Because you can't miss on climate change.
Speaker 13 (18:31):
It can go up, it can go down, it can
go fifteen different directions.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
It's climate change. Is Kelly guts.
Speaker 13 (18:38):
Now, these people have got a lot of problems.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
The other thing that the President said that I thought
was so important was that we would see drug prices
dropped by up to twelve hundred percent. It's gonna be
clipped five O three by up to twelve hundred percent
under the Trump administration. Those of you who followed the
(19:04):
show for a while might say, wait a second, Michael,
you're not a government in control of pricing.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Guy.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Why are you praising Trump now when this is antithetical
to everything.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You stand for. That's a great question, and I will
tell you.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Because the reason we pay so much for pharmaceuticals, it
is not because that's the supply and demand marketplace. It
is because pharmaceuticals have in many cases life saving properties
which alters your market artificially, and in lesser cases, paiative properties.
(19:49):
If you're in extreme pain, you'll do a lot of
things to stop that pain. There are places where marijuana
is illegal that people will risk it are not otherwise
risk takers for themselves or for someone else, because marijuana
has proven.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
To have those effects.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
In fact, people will do things for drugs, legal or illegal,
that they wouldn't do for anything else because it gives
them a high or gives them relief. And that's really
what most drugs do, right. It either increases energy, or
(20:30):
decreases pain, or increases a happy sensation. And that's true
of all drugs, legal and illegal. But you've got a
number of drugs that government has chosen to make legal,
which is always a whimsical choice when you consider marijuana
is the devil in some states and.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
A panacea in others. Murder is murder, rape is.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Rape, Pedophilia is pedophilia, but marijuana, it just depends on
where you are, whether it's the worst thing ever or
perfectly fine on every street corner. When President Trump says
the following clip number five oh three, ramon, can you
play that for us?
Speaker 14 (21:12):
I think we're going to be very successful fairly soon.
We'll have drug prices coming down by five hundred, six hundred,
eight hundred even twelve hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Play that one more time, because the first time you
hear something, you don't know what you're gonna get, so
you can't listen to the details.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We'll listen carefully.
Speaker 14 (21:32):
I think we're going to be very successful fairly soon.
We'll have drug prices coming down by five hundred, six hundred,
eight hundred even twelve hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Can't remember who it was over the weekend, maybe Scott Bessen,
maybe McCary, I don't remember. It was a member of
the Trump administration said that what's happening. Is the reason
Europe is paying so much less for drugs than we
are when people could afford to pay more. We're not
(22:04):
talking about really poor countries. The reason for that is
that we in the United States are wearing the hickey
of having the drugs made, developed, researched, and made, and
once that's done, then Europe is enjoying cheaper pharmaceuticals. Sort
(22:28):
of like this, There is a cost to innovation, right,
So let's say a car maker is trying out a
new technology.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Those front end cars.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
In the years it takes to develop that, that's going
to take a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So the first person.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
That buys that car that will eventually be a fifty
thousand dollars car if he only pays fifty thousand dollars,
somebody wore the cost of.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Making that, which might have been four hundred million dollars.
So at some point.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Somebody's got to cover that cost that it took to
get you the drug that costs three dollars bill And
who's that going to be?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And Trump is simply saying it's no longer going to
be the America.
Speaker 13 (23:20):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Gulf of Michael Berry.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Which has a beautiful room.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Long Time on the weekend had conversations about his ambitious
new plan to expand the White House. His team announced
the addition of a quote much needed and exquisite White
House Ballroom. It's a massive NewSpace that'll span ninety thousand
(23:50):
square feet and sit atop the current East Wing. If
you've never been to the White House, it's an over
two hundred year old building, and it's tired.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Trump is a.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Guy that likes flash and class. He likes things to
look good and present well. For comparison, the executive residents
the central White House building between the East and West wings,
it's only fifty five thousand square feet, so this is
a time and a half that actually a little more
(24:26):
than that, and described as a modernization of the East Wing.
The new ballroom represents a major upgrade in capacity as well.
While the current East Room holds only about two hundred guests,
the planned ballroom will accommodate approximately six hundred and fifty
(24:47):
and President Trump was asked, well, well, how many donors
is it going to do?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Well?
Speaker 9 (24:51):
First of all, Schumer claimed he was going to spend
government money.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Again. Wrong.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
These people never stop, never write, never in doubt. President
Trump was asked, well, well, if you're gonna have donors
do it, how many donors you're gonna have to have
to pay two hundred million dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And he said, well, might just be me. I might
pay for it myself.
Speaker 13 (25:19):
How many don't If you think it couldn't take to
get the donor, then maybe won me.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
But you would cut that ticket down. I would.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
See, no other president could do that. By having independent wealth,
Trump is able to, for instance, not take his salary.
He doesn't need to take his salary. He doesn't need
to take bribes. Maybe Joe Biden wouldn't have taken bribes
(25:51):
if he didn't need the money.
Speaker 14 (25:54):
No other president, they say, with a possible.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Exception of George Washing And then they have.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Been able to find those records.
Speaker 14 (26:02):
And we've had wealthy presidents before, but no other president
has contributed to the salary.
Speaker 13 (26:08):
And they told me before this that you will probably
be asking me whether or not I'm going to contribute
my salary again.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But you have an asked are you going to yes?
Speaker 7 (26:18):
You are?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Okay, yes, okay, Well I appreciate we just made news there.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
President Trump has paid for the flag poles in front
of the White House. He again chose not to take
his salary. You know, you might say yourself, well, he
doesn't need four hundred thousand dollars. Rich people will will
bend over and pick up a nickel. It is the
nature of their being. Money is not something that they
(26:52):
lightly turn away. He's doing this as a statement, and
it's a power full statement. When I was on city
council when I got elected with this idiot named Lee Brown,
who was the mayor, and he was elected because he
was black. In fact, everything he'd ever done in his
(27:12):
life was because he was black. He was the first
black sheriff of Portland. He was the first black of
first black police chief in Houston. He was the black
police chief in New York. He was the drug zar
in DC. This guy was an absolute clown. He was
an idiot. He was genuinely, and I don't say this
(27:34):
just because I disagree with him, he was dumb. He
was a real dumb dumb. And what he was doing
was allowing himself, like Biden, to be the tool of
people who were self dealing and they were getting rich
off the city and so when I got elected, I
(27:55):
served alongside him, and the first thing I did, because
the city was up down, wasting money and wanting to
raise taxes, is I announced I will not be taking
my salary. It was less than fifty just under fifty
thousand dollars, but that was real.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Money to me.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I wasn't going to be making a salary. I was
only thirty years old. We didn't have any money. We
needed that money. Four thousand dollars was a lot of
a month, was a lot of money. I didn't take
my salary, and I think they wrote five different articles
about them because people couldn't believe it. Trump not taking
his salary is not lost on working people who say
(28:37):
he's turning down money to make the point that he's
not in this for the money. And that is the
constant reminder that Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden see.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
When you take the high road like that, you've got
the high road for your next issue. No more stock trades.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
None, no more trades for congressmen. You want to be
in public life, You're not going to use your inside
information to self deal when the general public can't do it.
That's a crime. When Trump calls on them to do that.
He's got the position to do it. He's able to
(29:26):
take the high road. The jobs numbers that came in
over the weekend reveal, Get this, this is impressive. What
percentage of jobs that were added during the Trump administration
so far?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Do you think we're in.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
The private not governmental sector? Just take a guess at home.
What percentage of job do you think that was? Fifty percent?
One hundred percent of net new jobs all came in
(30:12):
the private sector. That means they pay taxes. That means
they don't live off of your taxes. In twenty twenty four,
nearly a quarter of new jobs were government jobs.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Folks. I know you're smart.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
I know you get this, but sometimes I say things
out loud just because it makes me think about it more,
Because sometimes things are so obvious that if they're not spoken,
they may not be realized by everybody. Every time you
create a government job, that is money that has to
(30:56):
be taken from other people to pay that person. So
the rise in the public payroll is a constant drain
on you, whereas the rise in the private sector payroll.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Benefits the rest of us.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
It's more people paying taxes, it's more people creating jobs.
It's more people making money and spending money with our
own businesses. We'll be right back after this message from
our thoughts or.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Pastors.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Already forty minutes past the altar call and I'm doing
the bladder buggy.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well you can't go up now. The ushers are watching.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well I'm about to catch the holy ghost and a uti.
This is no time for fear. It's prime times.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
Go.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
If you're like me, Sometimes the spirit moves, but your
candies we're a little fast.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
That's why I rock with the okay cocks written down
the aisle, the pill on the pier, be
Speaker 1 (32:04):
On you, word on light, with the bell
It's that time time sign sign luck and load Michael
Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We believe that there's an encryption on the.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Back, an encryption like a code of what.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Of choreograph, a map, a map of what, the location
of hidden items of historic and intrinsic value.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
A treasure map.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What we're seeing now is an attempt by the White
House to insulate itself from any kind of congressional scrutiny,
any kind of congressional oversight, to make sure that Donald
Trump remains the authoritarian.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Figure that he has become.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We have a compliant Congress, and he wants to ensure that,
given the fact that they pass this bill that is
on popular, that takes healthcare away from people, that gives
tax breaks to billionaires, and it puts at risk the
Republican majority, he wants to ensure that he continues to
have that compliant Republican House of Representatives. And that, I
think is something that we need to take into account.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Our democracy is threatened.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Our democracy is really threatened by what the Republicans are
proposing to do in Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Why Donald Trump is asking for five more Republicans heat
out of Texas, It's because his policies, especially his economic policies,
had been so bad. Right the prior guests referenced the
big beautiful bill, wait till people start losing their health
care and their health care costs go up. If Republicans
were confident on their policy agenda, they'd be eager to
defend it with the people and to defend it at
(01:42):
the ballot box next November. But they know they're in trouble,
and so they're trying to rig the system to hold
onto power next November. That's what this redistricting move is
really a bad.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Texas Covernor Greg Abbott seems set on making it happen,
threatening to remove Democrats who left the state to block
the vote from office if they don't return, but also
writing in a letter late Sunday that they could face
felony charges for raising money to pay for fines and
expenses while out of state, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,
who's running for Senate, also signaling his support, saying Democrats
(02:12):
should be found, arrested and brought back to the capital immediately.
But Democrats from Texas and around the country say they're
ready for the fight.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
What Texas is doing right now is a craven.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Power grab, and as I.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Said, we're going to.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Fight fire with firemen.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
A reflective math would look like the fact that only
thirty nine percent of this state is Anglo.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So how in the heck.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Do we have sixty percent of the seats that go
to DC are going to be decided by Anglos. That's
the math that doesn't work. We need to flip the numbers.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
Republican James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee,
announced today that the committee is compelling the following individuals
to appear for depositions through issued subpoenas. And yes, the
House has subpoena power to require someone to appear before them,
(03:12):
just as with the court. Those individuals and the date
on which they must appear before the House of Representatives.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton October ninth. Former President
Bill Clinton October fourteenth. Former US Attorney General Merrick Garland
(03:36):
October two Former FBI Director Jim Comey October seventh. Former
US Attorney General William Barr August eighteenth. Former US Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales of Texas August twenty sixth. Former US
(03:56):
Attorney General Jeff Sessions August twenty eighth, former FBI Director
Robert Mueller. September second, former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
You'd forgotten her, hadn't you? September ninth. Former US Attorney
General Eric Holder, September thirtieth.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
Oh Ho ho, This is gonna be good. This is
gonna be good. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Merrick Garland, Jim Comy,
William Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, Jeff Sessions, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch,
and Eric Holder. Attorney General Pam Bondy has instructed her
(04:43):
staff to take action on a criminal referral from Director
of National Intelligence Toolsey Gabbard concerning the conspiracy to link
President Donald Trump to Russia. The Department of Justice is
now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter that is,
the Russian collusion hoax. Bondi personally directed a federal prosecutor
(05:06):
whose identity has not been disclosed, to begin legal proceedings.
The prosecutor is expected to present evidence to a grand jury,
a move that could lead to a formal indictment. MSNBC's
Nicole Wallace broke the news of the grand jury and
called the allegations debunked.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
You see, they don't report on the news. They state
that this is what Trump is doing, but of course
there's nothing to this. They state that people oppose the
COVID shot, but of course those people have been debunked.
They state that people oppose climate change, global warming, but
of course those people are crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They don't report and let you decide.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
They attempt to tell you that what is being offered, said, announced,
released is untrue, and here they've released it go ahead.
Speaker 11 (06:00):
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation
into the so called Russia Gate conspiracy allegations made by
the Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard. The senior Trump
administration official, confirms to NBC News that investigation was first
reported by Fox News. These are unsubstantiated and largely debunked
(06:21):
allegations by the Trump administration that former President Barack Obama
and his aides in the intelligence community ordered a probe
into the twenty sixteen Trump campaign's connections to Russia to
ruin his chances of becoming president.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The source tells.
Speaker 11 (06:36):
NBC News that a letter signed by Pam Bondi instructs
an unnamed federal prosecutor to begin presenting evidence to secure
potential indictments.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Bizarre is on well done. So this is the Michael
Verie Show.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
Oh I got to marked two things off my book
at list last night. Number one, I got to see
a show at Red Rocks outside of Denver, from which
our show is coming to you today. And number two,
I got to meet and hang out with zz Top
the band as Frank Beard's guest, the longtime drummer almost
(07:17):
sixty years. Unbelievable to imagine. Unbelievable to imagine being out
on the road for almost sixty years.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's a pretty cool story.
Speaker 9 (07:32):
Frank Beard. He's the only member of the band who
doesn't have a beard. His two twin sons, Nico and Rory,
are texts for the band. So they set up his
drum kit, they set up his back line, his in
(07:54):
ear monitors, they do all the testing. It's a very
lean operation, probat biggest show. How big a show they
put on. Course, they were always to use their term
trace ombres. They're a small They're only a three member band.
Dusty Hill passed and Elwood, who was his guitar tech,
stepped right in a week later. They only took a
(08:14):
week off and he said, I can't replace Dusty, and
they said, you've been watching us for forty years, you
can damn well do it. And he did, and he
does a great job, and he fits right in so
little personal news. That was a real treat for me
to get to do that, a real treat. Indeed, President
(08:34):
Trump earlier today went on on the roof of the
White House and he was inspecting the renovations. And while
up there, the press was waiting at the gate outside,
and they're barking questions at him, and he's answering the
questions from up on top of the roof. Jim Mudd
(08:58):
has software that can and reduce a lot of the
ambient noise in the background.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I half wish he hadn't so.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
You would get the full experience of what this sounded like.
These reporters are screaming questions at Trump and he's up
on top of the roof talking down to them down
below as he walks around. I mean, there's nobody I
can't imagine Biden doing that. He'd fall off, but nobody
else could pull this off. Nobody else has the flare
(09:25):
for the dramatic Trump does.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Here's just a little clip of that. Trump is on
the roof of the White House. He's taking questions, or
he was just a few moments ago. Let's listen in.
Please the.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Boys spend money. It's just another way to spend my
money for the country.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
President Trump, well get him in just a moment.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
The House Oversight Committee, as we told you, has sent
subpoenas to several individuals to appear before the House over
Oversight Committee to be asked questions to answer for their crimes.
Those include Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Merrick Garland, Jim Comey,
William Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, Jeff Sessions, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch,
(10:26):
and Eric Holder.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh, this should be good.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Attorney General Pam Bondy has instructed their staff to take
action on a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence
Toolseee Gabbard concerning the Russia hoax and the attempt to
bring down Trump in his first term. You know they
are onto something. Because the media can't report the story,
(10:51):
they have to smear the story. Here's MSNBC's Joe Scarborough
who said that Joe Biden was He's known him for decades.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
He was as good as he's ever been.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
This is the best Joe Biden If you don't like that,
you can kiss his ass.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But this is the best Joe Biden.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
A matter of days before Biden was smothered and taken
out because he didn't know where he was well, Jose
Garborough says, this grand jury is just extraordinarily stupid.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
This is extraordinarily stupid.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
It's extraordinarily stupid on so many count If you look
at the timeline, the timeline doesn't add up.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It's like when Donald Trump is.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton created that Epstein files. No, no, no, no,
that all happened during Donald Trump's first term.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
You look at the timeline here.
Speaker 12 (11:35):
About what happened and when it happened. Barack Obama had
nothing to do with this, by anybody's accounts, and especially
by the Senate Republican Intelligence Committee run by Marco Rubio,
who afterwards said that it was Donald Trump's twenty sixteen
campaign that created a quote grave intelligent counterintelligence threat the
(12:00):
United States of America. That was Marco Rubio, the current
Secretary of State. That was every Republican on the Senate
Intel Committee. After pouring through all of the documents, that's
what they found.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
And when poor John Durham was made.
Speaker 12 (12:15):
To sacrifice his professional career to go around the world
investigating the investigators. He found nothing and ended up making
a fool of himself. I mean, we even found out
that the two documents had supposedly fed into the Clinton conspiracy,
that she was the one pushing this actually was Russian disinformation.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
So again they know in the Justice.
Speaker 9 (12:40):
Department, from the same folks who told you, take the shot,
you won't get COVID. Take the shot, you won't spread COVID.
Take the shot. It's incredibly safe and there is no
(13:00):
threat to your health as a result of taking it.
The same folks who told you that COVID started at
an open air market in Wuhun, which just happened to
be a matter of feet from the Gain of Function
(13:22):
research lab that FAUCI was funding against United States law,
where they did actually create the virus.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh, they're scared, they are scared. We'll take it to
the break on this.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
CNN's legal analyst Elie Honing said that election interference and
manufacturing intelligence, those aren't crimes.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
What's the crime, I mean, what's even the potential crime?
I can seriously, I mean, I'm not trying to be competational.
Here can anyone at this table even articulate what the
potential crime might be the election interference, manufactured and talented crime, crime,
obstruction of justice.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Okay, so you've said.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
A crime, though, what is obstruction of business and anything?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The grand jury says no.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
And to that point, let me let me further.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was of statute of limitation.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
There you are. That's where I was going to.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
It's the problem. I mean, this is ancient history legally, right.
The statute of limitations in almost every federal crime is
five years.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This stuff was nine years.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
It's an ongoing conspiracy, and so that came.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Was gone from They didn't commit a crime, they didn't
do anything to oh they did it, but it's not
a crime. And then they go, oh, yeah, but the
statute of limitations have passed. Trump kind a really good weekend.
It's such a good weekend that we didn't have a
chance to get to all of it yesterday. There were
so many things he had to say that we found
to be most interesting that we well, we just an
(14:52):
entire show and we didn't get to it all. This
was probably the most important thing that President Trump said
over the weekend that did not get our coverage, and
I'd like to give it that coverage now. He called
defeating the climate hysteria hoax an urgent task.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Folks. I think if you realized.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
In how many ways your life has been negatively affected
by the hoax of global warming, how much more you
pay for things, how many things you don't have that
you could have had, how much less enjoyable your life is,
how many jobs have been lost, and how that affects you.
(15:44):
All of these things because of this childlike fantasy of
global warming. To hear the President say this makes my
heart flutter because so many Republicans cannot bring themselves to
say this, and that makes me crazy.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
One of the most urgent tasks, not only for our
movement but for our country is to decisively defeat the
climate hysteria hoax. The ocean is rising, and it's rising,
it's coming. It's within three hundred years, we're going to
gain one hundredths of an inch in the ocean and
have a little more beachfront property. It's going to be
(16:26):
a terrible thing.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
No, it's a hoax. The whole thing is a total
it's so crazy.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
In the meantime, our factories can't perform. They want us
to use wind wind intermittent when Darling, I'd like to
watch the President tonight on television, No, you can't. The
wind isn't blowing, right, the wind isn't blow There's no
television tonight, Darling.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
The wind isn't blowing.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
And by the way, our house went down to about
thirty percent of the value because when you're a windmill,
that makes a lot of noise, kills all our birds
and ruins a landscape.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Other than that, it's a wonderful thing for the environment.
These people are crazy.
Speaker 13 (17:02):
But they are radical climate people, and I don't believe
they mean it.
Speaker 14 (17:06):
They can't mean.
Speaker 13 (17:07):
It because it's too it's too easy.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
They can't mean it.
Speaker 13 (17:11):
The radical lefts fear mongering about climate and our future
is no longer just scaring the American youth. It's destroying
America's economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating our middle class
is really hurting us.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
And conservative leaders.
Speaker 13 (17:25):
Think tanks and intellectuals must be fearless in calling out
the lunacy of what you're seeing and what you're being
led into the world is not ending.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Our future is not dying.
Speaker 13 (17:38):
We have to defeat the climate hoasters once and for all.
You know, they said we only had twelve years to live.
That was four years ago. Remember they said our country
has twelve years and that was like, I said, oh,
what happened? What happened? They said it's the climate. I said, really, oh,
that doesn't make sense. So that means we only have
(17:59):
eight years. That's ridiculous. The real problem is with nuclear weapons,
we may only.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Have six months.
Speaker 13 (18:08):
You talk about global warming, that's the real global warming,
not that global warming hoax that they don't even use
it anymore. They call it climate change. Remember they used
to call.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It global warming.
Speaker 13 (18:19):
The planet is one, but that wasn't working out the
well because a lot of places were extremely cool.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
So they were getting killed.
Speaker 13 (18:26):
They were getting killed, and then they change it all
of a sudden climate change.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Because you can't miss on climate change.
Speaker 13 (18:31):
It can go up, it can go down, it can
go fifteen different directions.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
It's climate change. Is Kelly guts.
Speaker 13 (18:38):
Now, these people have got a lot of problems.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
The other thing that the President said that I thought
was so important was that we would see drug prices
dropped by up to twelve hundred percent. It's gonna be
clipped five O three by up to twelve hundred percent
under the Trump administration. Those of you who followed the
(19:04):
show for a while might say, wait a second, Michael,
you're not a government in control of pricing.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Guy.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Why are you praising Trump now when this is antithetical
to everything.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You stand for. That's a great question, and I will
tell you.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Because the reason we pay so much for pharmaceuticals, it
is not because that's the supply and demand marketplace. It
is because pharmaceuticals have in many cases life saving properties
which alters your market artificially, and in lesser cases, paiative properties.
(19:49):
If you're in extreme pain, you'll do a lot of
things to stop that pain. There are places where marijuana
is illegal that people will risk it are not otherwise
risk takers for themselves or for someone else, because marijuana
has proven.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
To have those effects.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
In fact, people will do things for drugs, legal or illegal,
that they wouldn't do for anything else because it gives
them a high or gives them relief. And that's really
what most drugs do, right. It either increases energy, or
(20:30):
decreases pain, or increases a happy sensation. And that's true
of all drugs, legal and illegal. But you've got a
number of drugs that government has chosen to make legal,
which is always a whimsical choice when you consider marijuana
is the devil in some states and.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
A panacea in others. Murder is murder, rape is.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Rape, Pedophilia is pedophilia, but marijuana, it just depends on
where you are, whether it's the worst thing ever or
perfectly fine on every street corner. When President Trump says
the following clip number five oh three, ramon, can you
play that for us?
Speaker 14 (21:12):
I think we're going to be very successful fairly soon.
We'll have drug prices coming down by five hundred, six hundred,
eight hundred even twelve hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Play that one more time, because the first time you
hear something, you don't know what you're gonna get, so
you can't listen to the details.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We'll listen carefully.
Speaker 14 (21:32):
I think we're going to be very successful fairly soon.
We'll have drug prices coming down by five hundred, six hundred,
eight hundred even twelve hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Can't remember who it was over the weekend, maybe Scott Bessen,
maybe McCary, I don't remember. It was a member of
the Trump administration said that what's happening. Is the reason
Europe is paying so much less for drugs than we
are when people could afford to pay more. We're not
(22:04):
talking about really poor countries. The reason for that is
that we in the United States are wearing the hickey
of having the drugs made, developed, researched, and made, and
once that's done, then Europe is enjoying cheaper pharmaceuticals. Sort
(22:28):
of like this, There is a cost to innovation, right,
So let's say a car maker is trying out a
new technology.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Those front end cars.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
In the years it takes to develop that, that's going
to take a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So the first person.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
That buys that car that will eventually be a fifty
thousand dollars car if he only pays fifty thousand dollars,
somebody wore the cost of.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Making that, which might have been four hundred million dollars.
So at some point.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Somebody's got to cover that cost that it took to
get you the drug that costs three dollars bill And
who's that going to be?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And Trump is simply saying it's no longer going to
be the America.
Speaker 13 (23:20):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Gulf of Michael Berry.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Which has a beautiful room.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Long Time on the weekend had conversations about his ambitious
new plan to expand the White House. His team announced
the addition of a quote much needed and exquisite White
House Ballroom. It's a massive NewSpace that'll span ninety thousand
(23:50):
square feet and sit atop the current East Wing. If
you've never been to the White House, it's an over
two hundred year old building, and it's tired.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Trump is a.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Guy that likes flash and class. He likes things to
look good and present well. For comparison, the executive residents
the central White House building between the East and West wings,
it's only fifty five thousand square feet, so this is
a time and a half that actually a little more
(24:26):
than that, and described as a modernization of the East Wing.
The new ballroom represents a major upgrade in capacity as well.
While the current East Room holds only about two hundred guests,
the planned ballroom will accommodate approximately six hundred and fifty
(24:47):
and President Trump was asked, well, well, how many donors
is it going to do?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Well?
Speaker 9 (24:51):
First of all, Schumer claimed he was going to spend
government money.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Again. Wrong.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
These people never stop, never write, never in doubt. President
Trump was asked, well, well, if you're gonna have donors
do it, how many donors you're gonna have to have
to pay two hundred million dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And he said, well, might just be me. I might
pay for it myself.
Speaker 13 (25:19):
How many don't If you think it couldn't take to
get the donor, then maybe won me.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
But you would cut that ticket down. I would.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
See, no other president could do that. By having independent wealth,
Trump is able to, for instance, not take his salary.
He doesn't need to take his salary. He doesn't need
to take bribes. Maybe Joe Biden wouldn't have taken bribes
(25:51):
if he didn't need the money.
Speaker 14 (25:54):
No other president, they say, with a possible.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Exception of George Washing And then they have.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Been able to find those records.
Speaker 14 (26:02):
And we've had wealthy presidents before, but no other president
has contributed to the salary.
Speaker 13 (26:08):
And they told me before this that you will probably
be asking me whether or not I'm going to contribute
my salary again.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But you have an asked are you going to yes?
Speaker 7 (26:18):
You are?
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Okay, yes, okay, Well I appreciate we just made news there.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
President Trump has paid for the flag poles in front
of the White House. He again chose not to take
his salary. You know, you might say yourself, well, he
doesn't need four hundred thousand dollars. Rich people will will
bend over and pick up a nickel. It is the
nature of their being. Money is not something that they
(26:52):
lightly turn away. He's doing this as a statement, and
it's a power full statement. When I was on city
council when I got elected with this idiot named Lee Brown,
who was the mayor, and he was elected because he
was black. In fact, everything he'd ever done in his
(27:12):
life was because he was black. He was the first
black sheriff of Portland. He was the first black of
first black police chief in Houston. He was the black
police chief in New York. He was the drug zar
in DC. This guy was an absolute clown. He was
an idiot. He was genuinely, and I don't say this
(27:34):
just because I disagree with him, he was dumb. He
was a real dumb dumb. And what he was doing
was allowing himself, like Biden, to be the tool of
people who were self dealing and they were getting rich
off the city and so when I got elected, I
(27:55):
served alongside him, and the first thing I did, because
the city was up down, wasting money and wanting to
raise taxes, is I announced I will not be taking
my salary. It was less than fifty just under fifty
thousand dollars, but that was real.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Money to me.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I wasn't going to be making a salary. I was
only thirty years old. We didn't have any money. We
needed that money. Four thousand dollars was a lot of
a month, was a lot of money. I didn't take
my salary, and I think they wrote five different articles
about them because people couldn't believe it. Trump not taking
his salary is not lost on working people who say
(28:37):
he's turning down money to make the point that he's
not in this for the money. And that is the
constant reminder that Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden see.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
When you take the high road like that, you've got
the high road for your next issue. No more stock trades.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
None, no more trades for congressmen. You want to be
in public life, You're not going to use your inside
information to self deal when the general public can't do it.
That's a crime. When Trump calls on them to do that.
He's got the position to do it. He's able to
(29:26):
take the high road. The jobs numbers that came in
over the weekend reveal, Get this, this is impressive. What
percentage of jobs that were added during the Trump administration
so far?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Do you think we're in.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
The private not governmental sector? Just take a guess at home.
What percentage of job do you think that was? Fifty percent?
One hundred percent of net new jobs all came in
(30:12):
the private sector. That means they pay taxes. That means
they don't live off of your taxes. In twenty twenty four,
nearly a quarter of new jobs were government jobs.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Folks. I know you're smart.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
I know you get this, but sometimes I say things
out loud just because it makes me think about it more,
Because sometimes things are so obvious that if they're not spoken,
they may not be realized by everybody. Every time you
create a government job, that is money that has to
(30:56):
be taken from other people to pay that person. So
the rise in the public payroll is a constant drain
on you, whereas the rise in the private sector payroll.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Benefits the rest of us.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
It's more people paying taxes, it's more people creating jobs.
It's more people making money and spending money with our
own businesses. We'll be right back after this message from
our thoughts or.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Pastors.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
Already forty minutes past the altar call and I'm doing
the bladder buggy.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well you can't go up now. The ushers are watching.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well I'm about to catch the holy ghost and a uti.
This is no time for fear. It's prime times.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
Go.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
If you're like me, Sometimes the spirit moves, but your
candies we're a little fast.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
That's why I rock with the okay cocks written down
the aisle, the pill on the pier, be
Speaker 1 (32:04):
On you, word on light, with the bell
