Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Mister President, you are the oldest president ever, pretty good shape,
which leads to my next question. You are more aware
of this than anyone. Some people ask whether you are
fit for the job, and when you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hear that, I wonder what you think?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Watch me.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
and detail oriented and focused.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
How would you say your mental focus is? It's focused?
The best way to get something done. If you hold
near and dear to you that you like to be
able to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Anyway, I.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Won't bid the news that builded good in you. Well,

Speaker 7 (01:06):
Do you use me? U?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Do you use me? A?
Speaker 8 (01:13):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and f you if you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Can't handle the truth.
Speaker 8 (01:21):
This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,
not a close sucking.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And I've known him for years. The Presentskys have known
him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I
wouldn't say it.
Speaker 9 (01:38):
Of Putin's kryptocerca, Yeah, America is a nation that can
be defined in a single word.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I was gonna put him put.

Speaker 9 (02:15):
Here's what drives the driver in the states that are affected.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Here's what you can do the drivers.
Speaker 9 (02:24):
We haven't been able to communicate it in a way
that is uh, I'm gonna say another way.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The donors have all gone away.
Speaker 10 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
It's it's really incumbent on people that are around Joe
Biden to step up at this point and and and
help the president and help the man they love and
do the right thing. This is not going to This
is not going to end well. If it continues to
(02:55):
drag out.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
I won't spend the news that good getting you. It
just keep on you and in me.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Do you use me?
Speaker 11 (03:11):
The rats are fleeing the sinking shift that Joe Biden
horse has gone lane, and all of those who rode
it for so long are now scattering. On Friday, audio
(03:34):
from her report was released. Some of you will remember
Robert Hurr as part of the investigation into then President
Joe Biden. He interviewed Biden at length, and his report
said that Biden had committed crimes and for that he
(03:57):
should be prosecuted and punished. However, he added, not that
I believe this is the sort of thing he should
have added. He added, however, I don't believe. I think
he is infirm, and I don't think he could stand
a trial. At that moment, Joe Biden was running for president,
(04:22):
and there was no question that he was going to
run for president reelection. No one was calling for him
to step down. Not one person Beto O'Rourke, who now
says he shouldn't have run. All these Democrats who are
now rushing to say I didn't think he should run.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You didn't say that. Then you didn't say that.
Speaker 11 (04:42):
Then the report said, yes, he committed crimes, Yes he
should be punished for that, but no, don't punish him
because he is too infirm to stand for trial. The
democrat did not say, wait a second, guys, this is
(05:03):
bigger than a power play. If a guy cannot stand
trial for his crimes, then he's not mentally strong enough
to be the commander in chief. He's not mentally strong
enough to be the president. We've got him do something here.
(05:23):
This is not right. We cannot let this guy be
in the White House because then we don't know who's
running the country. So we've got to all come together
and demand that Joe Biden stepped down. They did not
do that. So now they're all closing ranks and running away.
CNN is closing ranks around Jake Tapper. So on Friday,
(05:49):
you've got the her report came out with the actual
audio where you hear.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Biden mumbling and bumbling. We'll play that in a bit.
Speaker 11 (05:56):
And then today and tomorrow you've got the rollout of
Jake Tapper's book with Alex Thompson Axios called Original Sin.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And I'm in Washington, DC right now.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
I can tell you there's a cigar lounge I go
to and smoke and meet people there for meetings. It's
all anybody is talking about, is this book, because it's
going to lay it all bare. So what happens over
the weekend, Oh boom. You can't criticize Joe Biden. He's
got stage five metastasized cancer that's in his bones, which,
(06:25):
as you'll come to find out, isn't an overnight cancer.
He's likely had it for years. Even Brian Stelter at
CNN says, huh odd timing on this.
Speaker 12 (06:39):
I'm seeing some prostate cancer survivors, people who have lived
with this disease, who have been through this, expressing support,
book condolences, but also support and cheering Biden on as
he faces this. The timing, Jessica is just extraordinary. We
know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden
learned of the diagnosis on Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday?
Speaker 12 (07:01):
It was the release of those audio excerpts from his
conversations with Robert Herb back in twenty twenty three. This
was the audio that Axios obtained almost certainly from the
Trump administration, showing memory lapses. And you heard a lot
of people on Friday talking about that audio being hard
to hear, even excruciating to hear Biden showing his age
on those audio tapes that had never been heard by
(07:23):
the public until now. So on the day that story
was breaking, Biden was facing this personal news, at least
that's according to this statement from his personal spokesman. So
you have that as one element of the timing here
and then you have as you and Paul just acknowledged
this book coming out one of the biggest political books
in several years. Take out our colleague Jake Tapper for
a second. This book, no matter Who, no matter where,
(07:45):
was coming from was going to be a very big
blockbuster book, and it just so happens two of the
best reporters in Washington, Jake Tappernow and Thompson are the
authors of it. It's already a best seller based on
a number of pre orders. And so this book comes
out in two days, but some of the excerpts of
our they come out, and it's reignited this debate in
Washington and beyond within the Democratic Party about Biden, about
(08:06):
whether he should have run for reelection at all. So
it seems to me that this debate doesn't end at all,
but it is briefly put on pause as a.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Result of the Captain something wong, Well, something must be right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You're listening to Michael Berry.
Speaker 11 (08:23):
See I just sent it to You may not be
able to play it in real time, but if you could,
if you could load it. It's Bernie Sanders talking to
Andrew Schultz on Andrew Schultz's podcast and.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
We'll play it in just a moment.
Speaker 11 (08:37):
But it's Bernie Sanders basically admitting that since two thousand
you got it that fast.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay, well it is. I didn't expect you to have
it that fast.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
It's Bernie Sanders admitting the Democrats haven't actually had a
fair primary since two thousand and eight, and the process
is rigged.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So when they say that Trump is a threat.
Speaker 11 (09:05):
To democracy, the actual threat to democracy is the Democrat
Party where a very small select group talk about an oligopoly,
very small, select, powerful group of insiders, the sadducees, they choose,
(09:27):
They choose the nominee. The Democrat voter doesn't get to choose.
So what do they do to defend themselves? What Rush
always said, whatever they accuse you of is what they're doing.
This is a threat to democracy. The hand choice, the
hand picked choice of Kamala Harris is only one example.
(09:49):
They did the same thing with Biden in twenty They
did the same thing with Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. Heck,
Debbie Wasserman Schultz basically rigged that whole election.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Anyway, here's Bernie Sanders, and.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, is he miffed? Is it sour grapes. You better
believe it is he a nut. Sure, but sometimes even
a blind squirrel can find a nut, and sometimes even
a nut can make a point that is accurate for
our purposes. And this is one example.
Speaker 13 (10:22):
The problem I think a lot of voters had is
like they didn't even know if it was hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We didn't even know if Biden was president. We didn't
even know if these were her talking points.
Speaker 13 (10:29):
And we felt that over the last four elections, Democrats,
we felt that we didn't have a say on who
could be president.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We talk a lot about.
Speaker 13 (10:39):
The Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy.
But from the Democrat perspective, and as I'm a lifelong Democrat,
I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic
process from its constituents.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then I think they need to have some accountability
of that. No argument, I don't for you. I wanted
you to.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
Like twenty sixteen, I was like, this is going to happen,
and this guy's going to do it, and it felt
like they it felt like they stole it from it.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I'll be honest, it broke my heart when you
when you supported him.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Look, but you have in the world that I live in.
Speaker 14 (11:12):
You got a choice, and I mean a lot of
people pleading, my wife agree with you. But you know,
you're down to a choice. It's going to be Hillary
Clinton or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not
a great choice, but it ended up being him anyway.
So why don't we burn it down? Well, because it's
easy to say, burning it down means that children are
(11:33):
not going to have you know, footia, that the schools
will deteriorate, people will not have healthcare.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I got it.
Speaker 14 (11:39):
And you know, I'm an elected official. I got to
represent the people. No, I can't turn my back on.
Speaker 13 (11:44):
But then could we not also say, if ostensibly there
hasn't been a fair primary for the Democrats since two
thousand and eight, are they not also a threat to democracy?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
We often hear.
Speaker 14 (11:52):
Fair enough that is that is Yeah, I'm not going
to argue with that.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Again, it's very important that people understand this. The problem
is you do understand it. It's the naive neighbor that doesn't.
People don't want to believe the evil afoot in this
country because the media keeps saying the Democrats are the
(12:21):
nice guys. The media keeps saying that Trump is the
threat to democracy, and a lot of people don't pay
close enough attention, don't ask questions, They amble alone. They're
doing the best they can, and they have no idea
that they're being lied to, and they have no one
(12:41):
explaining to them that they're being lied to. And it's
sort of like how people do la la la la
laud when they find out that the priest is diddling
the kid at the church, or the deep state is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Spying on you.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Or the clock shot caused people to die. They don't
want to have to think about it because then they
would have to decide how they feel about it, and
they don't want to do that. It's easier not to know,
not to question. So you've got Joe Biden. On Friday,
the herb Report comes out, and we're going to listen
to those in a moment tomorrow Today and tomorrow the
(13:19):
book comes out by Jake Tapper, and Alex Thompson says,
everybody admits, yeah, we knew he was nuts.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He was falling over.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
We're going to put him in a wheelchair if he
got elected, and all these people were controlling him, And
the book suggests it goes back to twenty seventeen that
is long before he is the nominee in twenty twenty.
So what do they do over the weekend. Oh, he
has very advanced cancer. He's about to die. Please don't, please,
don't y'all quit talking about this. He's about to die.
(13:50):
You can stop talking about it now. Well, they tell
us that he was just diagnosed, but doctor after doctor
says no, no, no, no, no, an advanced.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Cancer like this. He was the president until a few
months ago.
Speaker 11 (14:05):
He had the best medical care possible, so he had
to have cancer for quite some time. Well, he went
off script in twenty twenty two. The White House called.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This a gaff. This wasn't a gaff. This was a confession. Listen.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible,
my mother drove us and rather than us to be
able to walk and guess what the first frost.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what was happening.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
It had to put on the windshield wipers to get
literally the oil slick off the window. That's why I
had so damn any other people I grew up had cancer,
and why camp for the longest time, Dellawer had the
highest cancer rate in the nation.
Speaker 11 (14:48):
That's why I have cancer, not had have romon. Let's
drop down to clip six point fifteen. Doctor Schusterman, a
urologist on News Nations, saying, well, it's.
Speaker 15 (15:01):
Very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not
notice a PSA elevation over the past, you know, But
this is what I typically would see in a VA
hospital where a patient hasn't had medical intention in ten years,
presents to an emergency room with bone pain and then
(15:22):
they find that it's metastatic prostate cancer. But in the
modern age of medicine, especially the fact that he was
a former president, he had intensive state of the art,
you know care where we can see prostate cancer, you know,
ten years in the past.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So this is I mean, it's it's.
Speaker 15 (15:44):
Very unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer where
they're annually being followed up, and the fact that we
just find it at a glease of nine is just
pretty much unheard of it mid day and age of
good medicine.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I truly believe that the worst thing that ever happened
to America was slavery Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
And the best thing that ever happened to slavery was
America and the Republican Party.
Speaker 11 (16:12):
So we find out that Joe Biden has cancer. Oddly enough,
we find that out the day after her report is revealed,
which shows a frail, demented, wandering Joe Biden, and the
day before the book comes out that says they all
(16:36):
knew he was out of it. They were just wheeling
him out there, controlling everything going back to twenty seventeen
so they could remain in power, and a lot of people,
you know, jd Vance was asked the question, what do
you think about all this is going on with Joe Biden,
(16:56):
And he said, I don't blame Joe Biden. I blame
the people around him. Joe Biden is a sad victim
in all of this.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
I don't mean to say Joe Biden's a good guy.
I mean to say Joe Biden hadn't known where he
was for a very long time, and you could see
it in every speech he gave. It wasn't as if
he showed up to that debate and all of a sudden,
he's a rambling old man who doesn't know where he is,
who looks like the homeless guy the bus stop as
(17:26):
you go by, screaming. Charlie Manson phrases this has been
going on for a long time. He's been in a steep,
steep decline and talking big about fighting this person and
corn pop and this. You know, just absolute fantastical stuff.
He's living in a fantasy world. And for that reason,
(17:47):
he wasn't the president. The person controlling the country was
the person loading the teleprompter. So then we go back
to the other people involved. Here's Kamala her during the
vice presidential debate in twenty twenty. The question was asked
about health issues of Joe Biden because we can't ask
(18:11):
it directly, but we all know the man is in
a very, very severe decline. And so what does she say, Oh,
one thing about old Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Old Joe.
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Now he tells it like it is. You're going to
know exactly because old Joe. You know, again, this is
the equivalent of telling us what a nice guy Charlie
Manson is. As we're looking at the blood stained pigs
written across the wall and here's a pregnant woman having
been murdered. They're gaslighting you to a degree that you
(18:46):
can't believe they can say this with a straight face.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
Do voters have a right to know more detailed health
information about presidential candidates and especially about presidents.
Speaker 17 (19:00):
Susan, I'm glad to ask about transparency because it has
to be across the board. Joe has been incredibly transparent
over many, many years. The one thing we all know
about Joe, he puts it all out there. Oh yeah,
he is honest, he is horthright.
Speaker 18 (19:17):
Oh.
Speaker 17 (19:17):
But Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been about
covering up everything.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, Yeah, that's old Joe. One
thing about old Joe, he puts it out there. Now Trump,
he's a threat to democracy. He's a bad fellow.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Doctor Jamine Rambot was on CNN a urologist, and he's
the one who said, look, this isn't a cancer that
just pops up on you, not at this advanced state.
And by the way, he was under the care of
(19:52):
the White House physician until four months ago.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Really you believe you think we're going to believe this?
He says.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
It does not advance like is this takes years years.
Adam Scott Adams, who did the Dilbert cartoons, announcing I.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Don't know I saw it this morning. I don't know
if it was today. He announced it over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
He said, I have the exact same cancer that Joe
Biden has, and I've had it longer than he has.
And he says he doesn't expect to make it through
the summer. He expects that he'll pass this summer. He announces
on his podcast, and he said, this is a slow
growing cancer. It doesn't creep up on you. It's you
(20:34):
detect it. And if you're in the White House as
the president, they are monitoring your blood, they are monitoring
your PSAs, they are monitoring all the factors that would
tell that you have prostate cancer. This isn't a rare
condition that nobody notices. This isn't a hidden embolism tucked
(20:56):
under a lobe and the loan that can go under diagnosed.
This isn't a rare condition. You have fatigue and we
can't figure out what it is and then finds out
it's a one in a twenty million condition. Prostate cancer
is pretty advanced. It's the male breast cancer. A lot
of men are going to have it. We've made great
(21:17):
investments and great advancements, and everyone knows this to be true.
Everyone knows this to be true. So here's what he
says about the treatment.
Speaker 19 (21:32):
He's not my patient but if I had a patient
like him with all the medical stuff that he has,
including whether it's the physical or the mental, you know,
you really have to take that into account because all
these treatments do have potential side effects. One of the
biggest side effects that I see in my patients that
get these harmone treatments could be cognitive changes. So you
(21:53):
have to kind of balance that. People can also get
issues with fatigue and weight loss.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
What's important to note out of all of this, the
Democrats say, we had no idea, We had no idea
he was sick, none we'd known he had an idea,
and his own brother, Frank says, this is the reason
he dropped out. You mean, in June of last year
(22:24):
he dropped out because he was sick. Well, that's odd,
because they're claiming they just now found out.
Speaker 20 (22:33):
CBS News had a brief conversation with Frank Biden, one
of President Biden's two younger brothers, and here's what he
told us. He said, I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly,
I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we
have left.
Speaker 16 (22:49):
He is a genuine hero.
Speaker 20 (22:51):
Country over self sounds corny in our cynical political environment,
but he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same,
defeat Trump and continued the work that Joe has done.
My hope is that our party rallies around this heroic act.
We asked him whether he feels that his brother's overall
health and vitality played a major role in this decision,
(23:14):
and he says, in my humble opinion, absolutely so. A
member of the president's family now confirming that the president's
health was indeed a major factor in this decision and
calling his brother a hero for making the decision to
pass the torch Ta Kamala Harris.
Speaker 21 (23:33):
So, Nancy, sorry, can you clarify that the family is
saying his health was or was not a factor.
Speaker 20 (23:40):
He's saying that, in his humble opinion, yes, the President's
health and vitality played a considerable role in his decision.
It's important to note Frank Biden is not speaking for
the family writ large. This was simply a conversation between
CBS News and Frank Biden. Unclear how much input he
(24:01):
had in this decision, but he says that says that
he believes that his brother's health did play a role,
and he says that the goal remains the same to
defeat Donald Trump.
Speaker 21 (24:12):
Well, that is notable because today the family, the White House,
the establishment has rejected the premise that there was anything
that was challenging the president's mental acuity or his health,
and that all these accusations were baseless, that it was
just age and a few difficult nights like he had
(24:34):
on the debate stage.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that is a change in message.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
And Julle Biden comes off like Kathy Bates in misery,
just abusing this old man. She put him out on
the view it was a week or two ago, knowing
what shape he's in.
Speaker 15 (24:49):
It the Michael Barry Show, Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So let's reacat. We've got Robert her audio coming.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
Out on Friday, which is very damn for what a
mental state Joe Biden was in, and that the conclusion
was he committed crimes, but he was so infirm, there's
no reason to prosecute him because he wouldn't be able
to handle it, wouldn't be able to testify, but he
could still. He was running for president at the time,
and nobody was bothered by that. And then we've got
(25:20):
the book coming out from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson
set called Original Sin, that is that traces back to
twenty seventeen, his mental and physical decline and how bad
it was, and how everybody was in on it, and
they all talked about it. And you know, Jake Sullivan,
who he'd known for decades, would walk in, he'd call
him Steve. He didn't know people's names that were that
(25:43):
were longtime friends. And yet all the time Majorcus mourning Joe.
All these people were saying, he's as sharp as he's
ever been. And they were lying. Kamala, all of them lying.
It's what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
They lie.
Speaker 11 (25:57):
Now they've all been caught and there's no doubt about
it any longer. There's no question about it any longer.
Same people who lie about Trump every day, same people
who lie about everything every day. They're absolute scoundrels. So
in the middle of those two bookends, over the weekend,
they roll out their big nuclear weapon, which is, don't
(26:22):
talk bad about Joe. He's got advanced cancer. Wait what Oh,
so this massive cover up we're supposed to move past it.
I'm not sure what's worse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Is that they.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
Roll this out in the middle of all that to
make this all go away as if we're that stupid
or that some people will be some people will email
me tonight, Michael, don't talk bad about bad it. No,
you don't like him, but the man's got cancer. My
dad had cancer, my mom had my brother and my
friend had cancer.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Don't talk bad about him. I understand. You know your men.
Don't talk bad about it.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
That's exactly what they want you to do. Remember when
Rush Limbaugh announced he had cancer. Do you remember how
they explained that it was not with reverence and respect.
Here is the same aforementioned CNN talking about American hero
Rush Limbaugh when he announced he had lung cancer.
Speaker 22 (27:26):
Rush Limbaugh is, as you know, a conservative fire brands
and a radio talk show icon. Now he is battling
advanced lung cancer. Limbaugh is at the center of a
new controversy after President Trump awarded him the medal, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom. Santa and Sarah Sidner has more
on this.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
As long as you're here Monday, I will tell you
what happened.
Speaker 16 (27:45):
Rush Limbaugh rose to fame with his gift for political
gown on talk show radio and later online.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Somebody has had up for you.
Speaker 16 (27:53):
The conservative talk show host words reached millions, including the
ear of the man who.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Has become President American.
Speaker 16 (28:02):
As Limbaugh faces a deadly battle with lung cancer, President
Trump has awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Rush Limbaugh. Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion
to our country.
Speaker 16 (28:16):
Limbaugh has lived the American dream, but at the same time,
he's used his words to make a mockery of that dream,
sometimes sharing xenophobic, misogynistic, and racist sentiments with the masses.
This is how he chose to speak of a New
York Yankee icon the day he died.
Speaker 23 (28:32):
In twenty ten, Time Runner has passed away at age eighty.
That Cracker made a lot of African American millionaires.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
In twenty eleven, Limba decided to mock the Chinese president
during his visit to the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Hu Jinta was just going.
Speaker 16 (28:51):
Limbaugh attacked those who didn't share his political ideas with
a fervor and harshness that stood out amongst his talk
show peers.
Speaker 17 (29:00):
As you might know, I care deeply about stem cell research.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
When actor Michael J.
Speaker 16 (29:04):
Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, did this ad for
a Democratic candidate who supports did stem cell research, Limbaugh
HOUNSD this.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Is Michael J.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Fox.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
He's got Parkinson's disease, and in this commercial he is
exaggerating the effects of disease. He is moving all around
and shaking and it's purely an act.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
After outrage over his comments, Slimball apologized the next day, saying,
I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong. In
twenty twelve, when a Georgetown law student spoke to House
Democrats to support mandating insurance companies cover contraceptives, Limbaugh called
her a slut and a prostitute, and then this.
Speaker 23 (29:46):
Well, Ms Fluke and arrest of you, feminazis here's the deal.
If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and
thus pay for you to have sex, we want something
for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We
want you to post the videos online so we can
all watch.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
He later apologized for that too, but he reserved a
great deal of his racist comments for one man, Barack Obama,
both as president and as a candidate. In two thousand
and seven, as Obama campaigned on Hope and Change, Limbad
debuted a racist parody a puff the Magic Dragon, sung
by a candidate for Chairman of the republished right there.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
The puff the Magic Dragon was a reference to Barack
the Magic Negro, which was an editorial by the Los
Angeles Times. They were for Hillary Clinton and they were saying,
the Democrats are making Barack Obama out to be the
magic Negro. That wasn't Rush's words, he was quoting them.
(30:47):
But you know why they had to trash Rush. They
had to try to put a blemish on his record,
which they can't in our hearts because Rush meant so
much to so many. His brother David posted this over
the weekend. It was a call that he took it
from Bernie in Nebraska.
Speaker 23 (31:01):
Give it a listen, Bernie and Elk hornon Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Great to have you with us today, sir, Hello, Hi Rush.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
My wife and I are thirty year long.
Speaker 18 (31:12):
Listeners of yours, and we recently took up some time
to compile the list of the top ten things we've
learned of you from you, and within the.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
Top ten we have a top three. Number one is
what we learned from you about the true meaning of
Thanksgiving and how William Bradford dumped socialism in favor of
incentives and letting the pilgrims all work their own land
instead of working.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
For the community.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Number two, we learned from you that about the American dream,
you pointed out there's no French dream, there's no Iranian dream,
no British dream. There's only an American dream.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
And number three, which could very easily and perhaps shoot
be number one.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
We've heard you.
Speaker 18 (32:00):
From all these decades making reference to your talent on
loan from God.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
We believe and.
Speaker 18 (32:07):
We've observed that you should say instead that you've been
touched by God to play a role in saving this country.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well, now that I have enough trouble with talent on
the loan.
Speaker 23 (32:22):
From God, people think I'm saying I am God. You'd
be amazed the number of people don't understand that. They
have a knee jerk reaction to it, Bernie, and they
think this guy, he really thinks he's God, And of
course I don't. It's the ultimate statement of humility. Touched
by God? Would be I like that?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I like that.
Speaker 18 (32:43):
To play a role in saving this country?
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, I don't know about that.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This country is going to be around.
Speaker 23 (32:51):
It's the people this country are going to be the
ones that save it and who constantly saved it.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's the great. That is the great. It's the unstated
aspect of this country.
Speaker 23 (33:02):
Despite all the brilliant bureaucrats and all the brilliant here
and there and the think tanks, media people, it's the
people of this country who make it work every day,
and most of them do so in anonymity. Most of
them are not seeking fame. They wouldn't mind the taste
of it to find out what it's like, but they're
(33:22):
not seeking it. They just get up and do what
they do every day, and they and in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
The process make this all work. And they use.
Speaker 23 (33:34):
Everything God given that they have that is fueled by
their freedom. And that's what sets this country apart. It's
what's all we set this country apart. It's it's the
root of American exceptionalism.
Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Mister President, you are the oldest president ever, pretty good shape,
which leads to my next question. You are more aware
of this than anyone. Some people ask whether you are
fit for the job, and when you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Hear that, I wonder what you think?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Watch me.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden
is preparing for it, because he is sharp, intensely probing,
and detail oriented and focused.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
How would you say your mental focus is? It's focused?
The best way to get something done. If you hold
near and dear to you that you like to be
able to.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Anyway, I.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Won't bid the news that builded good in you. Well,
you just keep on. You lend me?
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Do you use me? U?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Do you use me? A?
Speaker 8 (01:13):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and f you if you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Can't handle the truth.
Speaker 8 (01:21):
This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,
not a close sucking.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And I've known him for years. The Presentskys have known
him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I
wouldn't say it.
Speaker 9 (01:38):
Of Putin's kryptocerca, Yeah, America is a nation that can
be defined in a single word.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I was gonna put him put.
Speaker 9 (01:49):
Los Angeles and uh and uh uh what am.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I doing here?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I said, Rather, if your only you wish did you
you were in mess? You you just keep on you,
let me until you me, until you do.
Speaker 9 (02:15):
Here's what drives the driver in the states that are affected.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Here's what you can do the drivers.
Speaker 9 (02:24):
We haven't been able to communicate it in a way
that is uh, I'm gonna say another way.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The donors have all gone away.
Speaker 10 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
It's it's really incumbent on people that are around Joe
Biden to step up at this point and and and
help the president and help the man they love and
do the right thing. This is not going to This
is not going to end well. If it continues to
(02:55):
drag out.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
I won't spend the news that good getting you. It
just keep on you and in me.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Do you use me?
Speaker 11 (03:11):
The rats are fleeing the sinking shift that Joe Biden
horse has gone lane, and all of those who rode
it for so long are now scattering. On Friday, audio
(03:34):
from her report was released. Some of you will remember
Robert Hurr as part of the investigation into then President
Joe Biden. He interviewed Biden at length, and his report
said that Biden had committed crimes and for that he
(03:57):
should be prosecuted and punished. However, he added, not that
I believe this is the sort of thing he should
have added. He added, however, I don't believe. I think
he is infirm, and I don't think he could stand
a trial. At that moment, Joe Biden was running for president,
(04:22):
and there was no question that he was going to
run for president reelection. No one was calling for him
to step down. Not one person Beto O'Rourke, who now
says he shouldn't have run. All these Democrats who are
now rushing to say I didn't think he should run.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You didn't say that. Then you didn't say that.
Speaker 11 (04:42):
Then the report said, yes, he committed crimes, Yes he
should be punished for that, but no, don't punish him
because he is too infirm to stand for trial. The
democrat did not say, wait a second, guys, this is
(05:03):
bigger than a power play. If a guy cannot stand
trial for his crimes, then he's not mentally strong enough
to be the commander in chief. He's not mentally strong
enough to be the president. We've got him do something here.
(05:23):
This is not right. We cannot let this guy be
in the White House because then we don't know who's
running the country. So we've got to all come together
and demand that Joe Biden stepped down. They did not
do that. So now they're all closing ranks and running away.
CNN is closing ranks around Jake Tapper. So on Friday,
(05:49):
you've got the her report came out with the actual
audio where you hear.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Biden mumbling and bumbling. We'll play that in a bit.
Speaker 11 (05:56):
And then today and tomorrow you've got the rollout of
Jake Tapper's book with Alex Thompson Axios called Original Sin.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And I'm in Washington, DC right now.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
I can tell you there's a cigar lounge I go
to and smoke and meet people there for meetings. It's
all anybody is talking about, is this book, because it's
going to lay it all bare. So what happens over
the weekend, Oh boom. You can't criticize Joe Biden. He's
got stage five metastasized cancer that's in his bones, which,
(06:25):
as you'll come to find out, isn't an overnight cancer.
He's likely had it for years. Even Brian Stelter at
CNN says, huh odd timing on this.
Speaker 12 (06:39):
I'm seeing some prostate cancer survivors, people who have lived
with this disease, who have been through this, expressing support,
book condolences, but also support and cheering Biden on as
he faces this. The timing, Jessica is just extraordinary. We
know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden
learned of the diagnosis on Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday?
Speaker 12 (07:01):
It was the release of those audio excerpts from his
conversations with Robert Herb back in twenty twenty three. This
was the audio that Axios obtained almost certainly from the
Trump administration, showing memory lapses. And you heard a lot
of people on Friday talking about that audio being hard
to hear, even excruciating to hear Biden showing his age
on those audio tapes that had never been heard by
(07:23):
the public until now. So on the day that story
was breaking, Biden was facing this personal news, at least
that's according to this statement from his personal spokesman. So
you have that as one element of the timing here
and then you have as you and Paul just acknowledged
this book coming out one of the biggest political books
in several years. Take out our colleague Jake Tapper for
a second. This book, no matter Who, no matter where,
(07:45):
was coming from was going to be a very big
blockbuster book, and it just so happens two of the
best reporters in Washington, Jake Tappernow and Thompson are the
authors of it. It's already a best seller based on
a number of pre orders. And so this book comes
out in two days, but some of the excerpts of
our they come out, and it's reignited this debate in
Washington and beyond within the Democratic Party about Biden, about
(08:06):
whether he should have run for reelection at all. So
it seems to me that this debate doesn't end at all,
but it is briefly put on pause as a.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Result of the Captain something wong, Well, something must be right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You're listening to Michael Berry.
Speaker 11 (08:23):
See I just sent it to You may not be
able to play it in real time, but if you could,
if you could load it. It's Bernie Sanders talking to
Andrew Schultz on Andrew Schultz's podcast and.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
We'll play it in just a moment.
Speaker 11 (08:37):
But it's Bernie Sanders basically admitting that since two thousand
you got it that fast.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay, well it is. I didn't expect you to have
it that fast.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
It's Bernie Sanders admitting the Democrats haven't actually had a
fair primary since two thousand and eight, and the process
is rigged.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So when they say that Trump is a threat.
Speaker 11 (09:05):
To democracy, the actual threat to democracy is the Democrat
Party where a very small select group talk about an oligopoly,
very small, select, powerful group of insiders, the sadducees, they choose,
(09:27):
They choose the nominee. The Democrat voter doesn't get to choose.
So what do they do to defend themselves? What Rush
always said, whatever they accuse you of is what they're doing.
This is a threat to democracy. The hand choice, the
hand picked choice of Kamala Harris is only one example.
(09:49):
They did the same thing with Biden in twenty They
did the same thing with Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. Heck,
Debbie Wasserman Schultz basically rigged that whole election.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Anyway, here's Bernie Sanders, and.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, is he miffed? Is it sour grapes. You better
believe it is he a nut. Sure, but sometimes even
a blind squirrel can find a nut, and sometimes even
a nut can make a point that is accurate for
our purposes. And this is one example.
Speaker 13 (10:22):
The problem I think a lot of voters had is
like they didn't even know if it was hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We didn't even know if Biden was president. We didn't
even know if these were her talking points.
Speaker 13 (10:29):
And we felt that over the last four elections, Democrats,
we felt that we didn't have a say on who
could be president.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We talk a lot about.
Speaker 13 (10:39):
The Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy.
But from the Democrat perspective, and as I'm a lifelong Democrat,
I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic
process from its constituents.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then I think they need to have some accountability
of that. No argument, I don't for you. I wanted
you to.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
Like twenty sixteen, I was like, this is going to happen,
and this guy's going to do it, and it felt
like they it felt like they stole it from it.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I'll be honest, it broke my heart when you
when you supported him.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Look, but you have in the world that I live in.
Speaker 14 (11:12):
You got a choice, and I mean a lot of
people pleading, my wife agree with you. But you know,
you're down to a choice. It's going to be Hillary
Clinton or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not
a great choice, but it ended up being him anyway.
So why don't we burn it down? Well, because it's
easy to say, burning it down means that children are
(11:33):
not going to have you know, footia, that the schools
will deteriorate, people will not have healthcare.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I got it.
Speaker 14 (11:39):
And you know, I'm an elected official. I got to
represent the people. No, I can't turn my back on.
Speaker 13 (11:44):
But then could we not also say, if ostensibly there
hasn't been a fair primary for the Democrats since two
thousand and eight, are they not also a threat to democracy?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
We often hear.
Speaker 14 (11:52):
Fair enough that is that is Yeah, I'm not going
to argue with that.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Again, it's very important that people understand this. The problem
is you do understand it. It's the naive neighbor that doesn't.
People don't want to believe the evil afoot in this
country because the media keeps saying the Democrats are the
(12:21):
nice guys. The media keeps saying that Trump is the
threat to democracy, and a lot of people don't pay
close enough attention, don't ask questions, They amble alone. They're
doing the best they can, and they have no idea
that they're being lied to, and they have no one
(12:41):
explaining to them that they're being lied to. And it's
sort of like how people do la la la la
laud when they find out that the priest is diddling
the kid at the church, or the deep state is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Spying on you.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Or the clock shot caused people to die. They don't
want to have to think about it because then they
would have to decide how they feel about it, and
they don't want to do that. It's easier not to know,
not to question. So you've got Joe Biden. On Friday,
the herb Report comes out, and we're going to listen
to those in a moment tomorrow Today and tomorrow the
(13:19):
book comes out by Jake Tapper, and Alex Thompson says,
everybody admits, yeah, we knew he was nuts.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He was falling over.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
We're going to put him in a wheelchair if he
got elected, and all these people were controlling him, And
the book suggests it goes back to twenty seventeen that
is long before he is the nominee in twenty twenty.
So what do they do over the weekend. Oh, he
has very advanced cancer. He's about to die. Please don't, please,
don't y'all quit talking about this. He's about to die.
(13:50):
You can stop talking about it now. Well, they tell
us that he was just diagnosed, but doctor after doctor
says no, no, no, no, no, an advanced.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Cancer like this. He was the president until a few
months ago.
Speaker 11 (14:05):
He had the best medical care possible, so he had
to have cancer for quite some time. Well, he went
off script in twenty twenty two. The White House called.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This a gaff. This wasn't a gaff. This was a confession. Listen.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible,
my mother drove us and rather than us to be
able to walk and guess what the first frost.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what was happening.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
It had to put on the windshield wipers to get
literally the oil slick off the window. That's why I
had so damn any other people I grew up had cancer,
and why camp for the longest time, Dellawer had the
highest cancer rate in the nation.
Speaker 11 (14:48):
That's why I have cancer, not had have romon. Let's
drop down to clip six point fifteen. Doctor Schusterman, a
urologist on News Nations, saying, well, it's.
Speaker 15 (15:01):
Very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not
notice a PSA elevation over the past, you know, But
this is what I typically would see in a VA
hospital where a patient hasn't had medical intention in ten years,
presents to an emergency room with bone pain and then
(15:22):
they find that it's metastatic prostate cancer. But in the
modern age of medicine, especially the fact that he was
a former president, he had intensive state of the art,
you know care where we can see prostate cancer, you know,
ten years in the past.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So this is I mean, it's it's.
Speaker 15 (15:44):
Very unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer where
they're annually being followed up, and the fact that we
just find it at a glease of nine is just
pretty much unheard of it mid day and age of
good medicine.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I truly believe that the worst thing that ever happened
to America was slavery Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
And the best thing that ever happened to slavery was
America and the Republican Party.
Speaker 11 (16:12):
So we find out that Joe Biden has cancer. Oddly enough,
we find that out the day after her report is revealed,
which shows a frail, demented, wandering Joe Biden, and the
day before the book comes out that says they all
(16:36):
knew he was out of it. They were just wheeling
him out there, controlling everything going back to twenty seventeen
so they could remain in power, and a lot of people,
you know, jd Vance was asked the question, what do
you think about all this is going on with Joe Biden,
(16:56):
And he said, I don't blame Joe Biden. I blame
the people around him. Joe Biden is a sad victim
in all of this.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
I don't mean to say Joe Biden's a good guy.
I mean to say Joe Biden hadn't known where he
was for a very long time, and you could see
it in every speech he gave. It wasn't as if
he showed up to that debate and all of a sudden,
he's a rambling old man who doesn't know where he is,
who looks like the homeless guy the bus stop as
(17:26):
you go by, screaming. Charlie Manson phrases this has been
going on for a long time. He's been in a steep,
steep decline and talking big about fighting this person and
corn pop and this. You know, just absolute fantastical stuff.
He's living in a fantasy world. And for that reason,
(17:47):
he wasn't the president. The person controlling the country was
the person loading the teleprompter. So then we go back
to the other people involved. Here's Kamala her during the
vice presidential debate in twenty twenty. The question was asked
about health issues of Joe Biden because we can't ask
(18:11):
it directly, but we all know the man is in
a very, very severe decline. And so what does she say, Oh,
one thing about old Joe.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Old Joe.
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Now he tells it like it is. You're going to
know exactly because old Joe. You know, again, this is
the equivalent of telling us what a nice guy Charlie
Manson is. As we're looking at the blood stained pigs
written across the wall and here's a pregnant woman having
been murdered. They're gaslighting you to a degree that you
(18:46):
can't believe they can say this with a straight face.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
Do voters have a right to know more detailed health
information about presidential candidates and especially about presidents.
Speaker 17 (19:00):
Susan, I'm glad to ask about transparency because it has
to be across the board. Joe has been incredibly transparent
over many, many years. The one thing we all know
about Joe, he puts it all out there. Oh yeah,
he is honest, he is horthright.
Speaker 18 (19:17):
Oh.
Speaker 17 (19:17):
But Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been about
covering up everything.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, Yeah, that's old Joe. One
thing about old Joe, he puts it out there. Now Trump,
he's a threat to democracy. He's a bad fellow.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Doctor Jamine Rambot was on CNN a urologist, and he's
the one who said, look, this isn't a cancer that
just pops up on you, not at this advanced state.
And by the way, he was under the care of
(19:52):
the White House physician until four months ago.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Really you believe you think we're going to believe this?
He says.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
It does not advance like is this takes years years.
Adam Scott Adams, who did the Dilbert cartoons, announcing I.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Don't know I saw it this morning. I don't know
if it was today. He announced it over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
He said, I have the exact same cancer that Joe
Biden has, and I've had it longer than he has.
And he says he doesn't expect to make it through
the summer. He expects that he'll pass this summer. He announces
on his podcast, and he said, this is a slow
growing cancer. It doesn't creep up on you. It's you
(20:34):
detect it. And if you're in the White House as
the president, they are monitoring your blood, they are monitoring
your PSAs, they are monitoring all the factors that would
tell that you have prostate cancer. This isn't a rare
condition that nobody notices. This isn't a hidden embolism tucked
(20:56):
under a lobe and the loan that can go under diagnosed.
This isn't a rare condition. You have fatigue and we
can't figure out what it is and then finds out
it's a one in a twenty million condition. Prostate cancer
is pretty advanced. It's the male breast cancer. A lot
of men are going to have it. We've made great
(21:17):
investments and great advancements, and everyone knows this to be true.
Everyone knows this to be true. So here's what he
says about the treatment.
Speaker 19 (21:32):
He's not my patient but if I had a patient
like him with all the medical stuff that he has,
including whether it's the physical or the mental, you know,
you really have to take that into account because all
these treatments do have potential side effects. One of the
biggest side effects that I see in my patients that
get these harmone treatments could be cognitive changes. So you
(21:53):
have to kind of balance that. People can also get
issues with fatigue and weight loss.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
What's important to note out of all of this, the
Democrats say, we had no idea, We had no idea
he was sick, none we'd known he had an idea,
and his own brother, Frank says, this is the reason
he dropped out. You mean, in June of last year
(22:24):
he dropped out because he was sick. Well, that's odd,
because they're claiming they just now found out.
Speaker 20 (22:33):
CBS News had a brief conversation with Frank Biden, one
of President Biden's two younger brothers, and here's what he
told us. He said, I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly,
I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we
have left.
Speaker 16 (22:49):
He is a genuine hero.
Speaker 20 (22:51):
Country over self sounds corny in our cynical political environment,
but he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same,
defeat Trump and continued the work that Joe has done.
My hope is that our party rallies around this heroic act.
We asked him whether he feels that his brother's overall
health and vitality played a major role in this decision,
(23:14):
and he says, in my humble opinion, absolutely so. A
member of the president's family now confirming that the president's
health was indeed a major factor in this decision and
calling his brother a hero for making the decision to
pass the torch Ta Kamala Harris.
Speaker 21 (23:33):
So, Nancy, sorry, can you clarify that the family is
saying his health was or was not a factor.
Speaker 20 (23:40):
He's saying that, in his humble opinion, yes, the President's
health and vitality played a considerable role in his decision.
It's important to note Frank Biden is not speaking for
the family writ large. This was simply a conversation between
CBS News and Frank Biden. Unclear how much input he
(24:01):
had in this decision, but he says that says that
he believes that his brother's health did play a role,
and he says that the goal remains the same to
defeat Donald Trump.
Speaker 21 (24:12):
Well, that is notable because today the family, the White House,
the establishment has rejected the premise that there was anything
that was challenging the president's mental acuity or his health,
and that all these accusations were baseless, that it was
just age and a few difficult nights like he had
(24:34):
on the debate stage.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that is a change in message.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
And Julle Biden comes off like Kathy Bates in misery,
just abusing this old man. She put him out on
the view it was a week or two ago, knowing
what shape he's in.
Speaker 15 (24:49):
It the Michael Barry Show, Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So let's reacat. We've got Robert her audio coming.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
Out on Friday, which is very damn for what a
mental state Joe Biden was in, and that the conclusion
was he committed crimes, but he was so infirm, there's
no reason to prosecute him because he wouldn't be able
to handle it, wouldn't be able to testify, but he
could still. He was running for president at the time,
and nobody was bothered by that. And then we've got
(25:20):
the book coming out from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson
set called Original Sin, that is that traces back to
twenty seventeen, his mental and physical decline and how bad
it was, and how everybody was in on it, and
they all talked about it. And you know, Jake Sullivan,
who he'd known for decades, would walk in, he'd call
him Steve. He didn't know people's names that were that
(25:43):
were longtime friends. And yet all the time Majorcus mourning Joe.
All these people were saying, he's as sharp as he's
ever been. And they were lying. Kamala, all of them lying.
It's what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
They lie.
Speaker 11 (25:57):
Now they've all been caught and there's no doubt about
it any longer. There's no question about it any longer.
Same people who lie about Trump every day, same people
who lie about everything every day. They're absolute scoundrels. So
in the middle of those two bookends, over the weekend,
they roll out their big nuclear weapon, which is, don't
(26:22):
talk bad about Joe. He's got advanced cancer. Wait what Oh,
so this massive cover up we're supposed to move past it.
I'm not sure what's worse.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Is that they.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
Roll this out in the middle of all that to
make this all go away as if we're that stupid
or that some people will be some people will email
me tonight, Michael, don't talk bad about bad it. No,
you don't like him, but the man's got cancer. My
dad had cancer, my mom had my brother and my
friend had cancer.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Don't talk bad about him. I understand. You know your men.
Don't talk bad about it.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
That's exactly what they want you to do. Remember when
Rush Limbaugh announced he had cancer. Do you remember how
they explained that it was not with reverence and respect.
Here is the same aforementioned CNN talking about American hero
Rush Limbaugh when he announced he had lung cancer.
Speaker 22 (27:26):
Rush Limbaugh is, as you know, a conservative fire brands
and a radio talk show icon. Now he is battling
advanced lung cancer. Limbaugh is at the center of a
new controversy after President Trump awarded him the medal, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom. Santa and Sarah Sidner has more
on this.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
As long as you're here Monday, I will tell you
what happened.
Speaker 16 (27:45):
Rush Limbaugh rose to fame with his gift for political
gown on talk show radio and later online.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Somebody has had up for you.
Speaker 16 (27:53):
The conservative talk show host words reached millions, including the
ear of the man who.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Has become President American.
Speaker 16 (28:02):
As Limbaugh faces a deadly battle with lung cancer, President
Trump has awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Rush Limbaugh. Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion
to our country.
Speaker 16 (28:16):
Limbaugh has lived the American dream, but at the same time,
he's used his words to make a mockery of that dream,
sometimes sharing xenophobic, misogynistic, and racist sentiments with the masses.
This is how he chose to speak of a New
York Yankee icon the day he died.
Speaker 23 (28:32):
In twenty ten, Time Runner has passed away at age eighty.
That Cracker made a lot of African American millionaires.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
In twenty eleven, Limba decided to mock the Chinese president
during his visit to the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Hu Jinta was just going.
Speaker 16 (28:51):
Limbaugh attacked those who didn't share his political ideas with
a fervor and harshness that stood out amongst his talk
show peers.
Speaker 17 (29:00):
As you might know, I care deeply about stem cell research.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
When actor Michael J.
Speaker 16 (29:04):
Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, did this ad for
a Democratic candidate who supports did stem cell research, Limbaugh
HOUNSD this.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Is Michael J.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Fox.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
He's got Parkinson's disease, and in this commercial he is
exaggerating the effects of disease. He is moving all around
and shaking and it's purely an act.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
After outrage over his comments, Slimball apologized the next day, saying,
I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong. In
twenty twelve, when a Georgetown law student spoke to House
Democrats to support mandating insurance companies cover contraceptives, Limbaugh called
her a slut and a prostitute, and then this.
Speaker 23 (29:46):
Well, Ms Fluke and arrest of you, feminazis here's the deal.
If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and
thus pay for you to have sex, we want something
for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We
want you to post the videos online so we can
all watch.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
He later apologized for that too, but he reserved a
great deal of his racist comments for one man, Barack Obama,
both as president and as a candidate. In two thousand
and seven, as Obama campaigned on Hope and Change, Limbad
debuted a racist parody a puff the Magic Dragon, sung
by a candidate for Chairman of the republished right there.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
The puff the Magic Dragon was a reference to Barack
the Magic Negro, which was an editorial by the Los
Angeles Times. They were for Hillary Clinton and they were saying,
the Democrats are making Barack Obama out to be the
magic Negro. That wasn't Rush's words, he was quoting them.
(30:47):
But you know why they had to trash Rush. They
had to try to put a blemish on his record,
which they can't in our hearts because Rush meant so
much to so many. His brother David posted this over
the weekend. It was a call that he took it
from Bernie in Nebraska.
Speaker 23 (31:01):
Give it a listen, Bernie and Elk hornon Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Great to have you with us today, sir, Hello, Hi Rush.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
My wife and I are thirty year long.
Speaker 18 (31:12):
Listeners of yours, and we recently took up some time
to compile the list of the top ten things we've
learned of you from you, and within the.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
Top ten we have a top three. Number one is
what we learned from you about the true meaning of
Thanksgiving and how William Bradford dumped socialism in favor of
incentives and letting the pilgrims all work their own land
instead of working.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
For the community.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Number two, we learned from you that about the American dream,
you pointed out there's no French dream, there's no Iranian dream,
no British dream. There's only an American dream.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
And number three, which could very easily and perhaps shoot
be number one.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
We've heard you.
Speaker 18 (32:00):
From all these decades making reference to your talent on
loan from God.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
We believe and.
Speaker 18 (32:07):
We've observed that you should say instead that you've been
touched by God to play a role in saving this country.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well, now that I have enough trouble with talent on
the loan.
Speaker 23 (32:22):
From God, people think I'm saying I am God. You'd
be amazed the number of people don't understand that. They
have a knee jerk reaction to it, Bernie, and they
think this guy, he really thinks he's God, And of
course I don't. It's the ultimate statement of humility. Touched
by God? Would be I like that?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I like that.
Speaker 18 (32:43):
To play a role in saving this country?
Speaker 10 (32:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, I don't know about that.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This country is going to be around.
Speaker 23 (32:51):
It's the people this country are going to be the
ones that save it and who constantly saved it.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That's the great. That is the great. It's the unstated
aspect of this country.
Speaker 23 (33:02):
Despite all the brilliant bureaucrats and all the brilliant here
and there and the think tanks, media people, it's the
people of this country who make it work every day,
and most of them do so in anonymity. Most of
them are not seeking fame. They wouldn't mind the taste
of it to find out what it's like, but they're
(33:22):
not seeking it. They just get up and do what
they do every day, and they and in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
The process make this all work. And they use.
Speaker 23 (33:34):
Everything God given that they have that is fueled by
their freedom. And that's what sets this country apart. It's
what's all we set this country apart. It's it's the
root of American exceptionalism.
