Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It was reported that you continue to meet with him
over several years, and that, in other words, a number
of meetings. What did you do when you found out
about his batlin Well.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know, I've said I regretted having those dinners, and
there's nothing, absolutely nothing new on.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
This has been the most it looks like at least
the most significant of the releases.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Of Epstein files. I want to talk.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
About Bill Gates first because emails from Jeffrey Epstein himself
claimed that the Microsoft founder contracted a centrally transmitted disease
even tried to secretly give his then wife Melinda antibiotics.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
This morning, new questions are swirling around the state of
Bill and Melinda Gates his marriage leading up to last
week's divorce announcements. Last week, multi billionaire announced in a
joint statement they were ending their twenty five year marriage
because we no longer believe we can grow together as
a couple. One source of a concern for Melinda, a
global advocate for women and girls, was Bill's dealings with

(01:12):
convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, putting to documents obtained by
the journal, Melinda and her advisors held a number of
calls with divorce lawyers in October twenty nineteen. The same month,
The New York Times first reported that Bill met with
Epstein on numerous occasions starting in twenty eleven, after Epstein
had served time for soliciting prostitution.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
The emails in the files suggest that Bill Gates hud
additional affairs and.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
That he tried to get medication to treat a sexually
transmitted infection.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I wonder what your dominant emotion is when you read
these news articles with these details. Sad, just unbelievable sadness.
I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage.
I wanted to leave my marriage.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
I had to leave the I felt I needed to
eventually leave the foundation.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
So it's just sad. That's the truth, right, And it's
kind of like, at least for me, I've been able
to you thought.

Speaker 7 (02:04):
Bill Gates is turning his focus from software to hardware.
The Microsoft founder is giving a one hundred thousand dollars
grant to whomever can build a better condom as part
of his Grand Challenges initiative. The goal is to make
a condom that feels good enough for men around the
world to want to wear it and to therefore, very
importantly to prevent disease and unlaunted play.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
All the places ICE went in across the country, the
only place where there was widespread violence was in Minnesota.
It's also the only place that ICE went in that
the governor had just stepped down from his re election
campaign due to the fraud that had been exposed, where
the mayor is alleged to be part of the fraud,

(02:47):
the Attorney general is alleged to be part of the fraud,
and the community of immigrants who are leading and participating
in the alleged fraud are led in Congress by a
member of their community who's one of the nastiest, most
vile people in all of American public life, and the
most anti American person you can imagine. So it isn't

(03:11):
that ICE went in and was arresting illegal aliens.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
It is that they wanted them out.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
They did not want people in that community who might
expose what was going on, and they needed a distraction.
How quickly we stopped talking about the daycare centers that
have no children but were receiving millions, In fact, billions
over the years of dollars. How quickly we stopped talking
about home health care centers and how much money they're

(03:40):
getting for never actually treating a patient. How quickly we
stopped talking about all the fraud being committed by the
Somali immigrants, all the welfare abuse, all the payment for
supposedly delivering services to people in their own community that
are never delivered. How quickly we moved from talking about

(04:02):
that to whether our ice agents should be able to
do their jobs on the streets. However, right as rain,
though they may be our ice agents, the fact is
the Left got hold of the narrative.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
They managed to capture the narrative. They do this.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
See they're not always right. They just keep changing. Remember
Trump was a king, no kings, no kings. That didn't
take off, so they moved to the next one. They're
very quick, very adroit. They don't care what the narrative is.
They've just got to slow down Trump. They just got
to get back control of the public support, not just

(04:48):
for November. They got to get control of it now.
They got to keep they got to keep ilhan Omar
from going to prison. They got to keep this thing
from being laid open in the public seeing how big
the fraud really is. Notice, we don't talk about the
NGO fraud anymore. We did for a minute. Notice we
don't talk about the amount of money our government was

(05:10):
paying to newspapers all left wing as part of the
NGO money. Just keep moving the target. Keep you distracted,
or you can't drill down very long, because if you
stayed on a subject for long enough, you start connecting

(05:30):
the dots and you'd demand action. So borders our Tom
Holman was sent in to fix things because they got ugly.
So this pretty case, this guy who was determined, he
was determined to create a violent interaction and he did
and end up dead. But he gets the last laugh.

(05:55):
You can say our team won and their team lost,
but that's just not true. Homan was sent in because
Trump's looking at pulling that shows that the good guys
are losing. The law enforcement is losing, because a lot
of people's wives that live in the suburbs across the
country feel sorry for the protesters. Now you've got influencers

(06:20):
on our side saying, hey, I'm for TRUP.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm for cleaning up this country.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
But man, we can't just have people going in there
like Nazis just killing people.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, that's not what happened.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
A lot of people on our side are very eager
to show that they're not bad people.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
They're really nice people.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
They're not racist, they're not anti immigrant, and let me
show you how I'm on the left side on this issue.
They can't get to the left fast enough to show
you how on this ship they're so open minded. Look
at me. We got a lot of that, a lot
of that. Well, now we're pulling back some of the

(06:59):
forces in Minnesota. It looks to me like a retreat.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't like it. It looks weak.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
It looks like they won because they did. Borders are
Tom Homan held a press conference to announce that announced
that ICE will remove seven hundred agents from Minnesota. He

(07:29):
credits the cooperation from local sheriffs and other officials for
the being the reason.

Speaker 8 (07:34):
We want to get back to the original footprint, the
Minnesota footprint of what ICE offices looked like before this operation.
Plus the additional hire is a big, beautiful bill. A
lot of these people agency of from Mala, New York
and Portland. There's problems there too, So we want to
get people back to their home stations and forced immigration

(07:54):
laws in those areas, but the vast majority of shaff
there's only a few that we were still in consultation with.
But this is unprecedented cooperation. So again I want to
thank you know, the sheriffs of the governor and the
a G. I think we're in a lot better place

(08:15):
than we've ever been in. We never had this kind
of cooperation at this level, and I'm not leaving until
we get all done.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I don't know what the truth is. I like Homan,
I trust Homan, I like the President. I trust the President.
But I get a sinking feeling that the left won
this one. Not on the streets per se, but in
the court of public opinion. They managed to turn it.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Our folks are.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Not aggressively supporting the ICE efforts, and their folks are
aggressively opposing them. And some of our folks have not
held ranks. They just want to show that they're really
nice people and don't always agree with Trump. So here's
their opinion. Well, I don't always agree with Trump. I
don't agree with pulling these ICE agents out of there.

(09:05):
And what about the fact that they are actively attacking
our ICE agents. They have run an operation. This is
not a grassroots operation. This is not a spontaneous disagreement
with governmental policy. This is a well organized, well executed
guerrilla army that is using technology, recruitment, money, logistics to

(09:31):
gunk up the works of the federal enforcement. And it
worked in Minnesota. Now they have the prototype, Now they
have the proof of concept, they're going to thwart the efforts.
I suspect this will be the moment we will note
looking back, this would be the moment that the deportation
efforts slowed to a crawl because the left figured out

(09:54):
what they were doing, they got organized. It took a
little while, It took a little while, took a year,
they got organized, and now they're winning. So what about
the fact that they're putting up roadblocks. They're taking This
is no different than I wore. They're not hiding and
doing this. This isn't keyboard cowboys posting on Twitter. They're

(10:15):
actually putting roadblocks in the streets.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
What about that? Here's Holman's response.

Speaker 8 (10:20):
As far as well, I saw yesterday the roadblocks being
set up.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
If you're not going to stop Ice, you're not going
to stop Mordamitrow.

Speaker 8 (10:31):
The only thing you're doing is irritating your community and
why I go get grocees or pick your children up
or whatever. I talked to the chief of police and
he committed to taking swift action on.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Those illegal roadblocks.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
They're illegal, we shouldn't tolerate them again. A complete draw
downs when depend on the cooperation, continue cooperation on local
and state law enforcement and the decrease of the violence,
the rhetoric and the attacks against sight some.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Borbital I don't trust that the local police chief, under
the direction of Jacob Fry, would do his job to
shut down the protesters.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't see that happening.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
That angry gun grabbing little gnome Jerry Nadler, the one
who pulls his pants all the way up right underneath
his nipples and walks around and poops his pants. Now
he wants citizens armed. I knew this was the next phase.
Being anti gun was never going to be the long
term play of the left. They were going to realize

(11:44):
that their people are criminals and our people are law
abiding patriots who are the sheep dogs.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
I always knew that.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
They were going to change from taking away our guns,
which they knew they could never do, to arming their
side and that's where we are now. Now he's arguing
that you'd be justified in shooting a masked ICE agent
to protect yourself.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
They are encouraging their little weasily supporters to.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
Get killed by Ice agents, and their steoge supporters can't
see what's happening.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
You can easily solve our balance of budget problems by
simply repealing the taxes, the tax cuts on millionaires and
billionaires enacted over the last ten years. But what is
really the major problem in this country today is the
fascism in our streets, the attacks on American citizens by
massed hoodlands. If you were attacked by a masked person,

(12:51):
you might think you're being kidnapped. You be justified in
shooting the person to protect yourself. And we see people
being shot for why, for driving a car. We see people,
we see these the ICE goons break into people's homes
without a warrant. We see them drag out a man,

(13:14):
an American citizen, in his underwear, without even permitting him
in the snow, without even permitting him to get dressed.
This is the major driving we have today.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
No, that's not the major problem we have today. You're
the major problem we have today, Duran Nadler, You, you
little pant pooping No, you are the problem. Democrats like
Arizona Democrat Senator Mark Kelly will have you believe that
requiring identification in order to vote would actually make it

(13:47):
harder for people to vote, as if people don't have ID,
how does that make sense? Obtaining an idea in this
country is very simple, and it's a basic necessity, unless
you intend on rigging elections, of course, in which case
you want to cast votes for people with no ID

(14:08):
who might not even be alive. It's pure laziness. But
some folks, well they just don't have time for that.

Speaker 9 (14:16):
Local man Darren Wilkes says he'd love to participate in
society if only he knew how to get an ID. Wilkes,
thirty four, has never driven a car, boarded a plane,
opened a bank account, or purchased cold medicine because each
time someone asks for identification, he simply nods and leaves yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
They said bring ID, and I thought, well, that sounds
a fish.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
I don't want to pull it without identification. Darren cannot
hunt fish, rent a hotel room, or drink beer. They
got systems, man, I ain't trying to get involved. Last month,
Darren attempted to rent an apartment. The leasing agent asked
for identification. He now lives behind a vending machine.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
At least I don't live in no food.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
As an experts say, obtaining ID reques, there's only a
short visit to the DMV.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
That government been with the lies. No thanks, I'll just
keep woe.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
At press time, Darren was last seen peddling a bicycle against.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Traffic is at Freedom Baby.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
As if things aren't bad enough for Darren, Republicans want
to take away the only thing he has left, his voice, his.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Power, his votes.

Speaker 9 (15:21):
Until next time, km BS News.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
My wife served as Rick Perry's last Secretary of State
in twenty fourteen, they had their elections and the Secretary
of State instead of Texas oversees the elections. In fact,
has a massive office to oversee elections and handle corporate documentation,
so if you're incorporating a business and any of the
documents that go into that, and her challenge was the

(15:52):
state of Texas legislature had passed new regulations to insure
voter secure voter integrity, and it was a voter ID
law as it came to be known. And this would
be the first election in which that would be implemented. Now,
just as we're going through twelve years later. In an

(16:17):
even numbered year every two years, so that was twenty
fourteen for being an even numbered year, we had a
primary and then we have a general election. The primary
is where each of the parties picks their candidate who
will vie against each other in November in the general election.
So her job was to go to the as she

(16:38):
announced it, two hudred and fifty four counties and explain
to people that everybody in Texas who is a legal
citizen can vote. Well, she would arrive and she would
go to the black churches, or she would go to
gatherings of Democrats, and there would invariably be someone who
was skeptical who would say, well that this is a

(17:00):
voter suppression bill. And she would say, well, let me
explain to you. There are seven ways in which you
can prove you are eligible to vote in state of
Texas and vote. Seven forms of ID, military ID, driver's
license being your passport. When you exhausted all six, the

(17:22):
seventh form of ID was the ID for people with
no ID. Imagine how easy that made it. All you
had to do was go to the DPS office. If
you don't have ID, prove who you are, which is
not that hard to do, and they will print you
an ID that is capable of being used to vote. Well,

(17:47):
you would have black activists and pastors who were being
fed bad information and they say, well, we just worried
about the poor black people. They're not to vote because
they don't they don't have idea. This is going to
keep them from voting. Okay, if you've got a poor
black person or poor anything person for that matter, who

(18:09):
is unable to vote because they lack ID, they got
bigger issues than being unable to vote.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Because in order to get.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
Welfare, in fact, any government benefit, you're required to have
an ID. So if you're so poor that you don't
have an ID, you're too poor to get welfare. These
people must be starving to death. These people are so poor.

(18:41):
You know what they got to do the dog to
feed the cat. I mean, these people are poor. That's
as poor. He was so poor that they can't pay attention.
They're that poor. Well, if they're that poor, let's get
them identification so they can receive welfare benefits, because they

(19:06):
can't without an ID, well, now you know they're getting
welfare benefits, which means they have an idea which they
can use to vote.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
But here was the part that was interesting.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
In March, in the primary, we didn't hear from Democrats
about the inability to vote because it was Democrats versus
Democrats in the Democrat primary. But come November, oh, there
was a hue and cry all these poor minorities who

(19:47):
couldn't vote. Voter ID law was a voter suppression law. Well,
you didn't complain back in March when the law was
also in fact, you had a good turnout in your primary.
You didn't worry that nobody could vote. Then your only
worried when they can't vote against the Republican except you
know they can vote. This is a talking point Democrats

(20:10):
use because Democrats create a victimhood mentality, which is a
very cruel thing you can do to people. You ever
talked to a battered wife who's been abused by her
husband and you ask why did it take you so
long to get out? Because he had convinced me that
I was so ugly no one else would ever want me,

(20:32):
And he had convinced me that I was so stupid
that I couldn't live on my own, and I believed
him because he beat me down that long. That is
what democrats have done to minorities in this country, sometimes willfully,
sometimes inadvertently. White liberals do it every day. I know,
I've seen it firsthand in so many ways. Minorities are

(20:57):
taught you shouldn't expect to get an A because you're
just a minority. But good for you, you passed. You
shouldn't expect to be good in school. You shouldn't expect
to be top of the class. You shouldn't put pressure
on yourself to be an a student because you're a minority.
You'd never say that to a black kid on the
football field, Hey, Tyrone, you shouldn't expect to pay to

(21:21):
play running back as the only black kid on the team.
It's good enough that you came out for the team.
You don't need to put any pressure on yourself to
be the star running back just because you're black.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
No, no, no.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
As a black kid, you should just be happy you
made the team.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I can assure you that doesn't happen.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
You walk on the field as a black kid, especially
the only black kid, and there is the expectation that
you're going to be very very good at sports. You
walk into a classroom as the only black kid, and
there is the expectation that you're not very smart. White liberals,
and sadly, some blacks have taught blacks that this is

(22:02):
the expectation.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
They should have for themselves, and that is wrong. Tombry
Don Lemon.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
And the folks who terrorize the church, that was a
hate crime. They should have been strung up for that.
We stand by and watch Christians, especially white Christians, get
bullied and terrorized.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
By the left. We stand by.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
And let people who look like us and worship like us,
who are lifelong patriots, get pushed around in this country,
and the government does nothing about it. There is deep
within most Americans a guilt, A desperate desire to not
be thought one of the bad ones, the imperialistic colonizers.

(23:00):
A feeling that the minorities have been wronged. A feeling
that somehow your ancestors were evil and their's were such victims,
and that you bear a responsibility for it. A feeling

(23:20):
that you had advantages that you did what interesting So,
I have a friend named Corey Crenshaw. He's a Beaumont
City councilman used to be the da over there. He's
a Beaumont City councilman, and he posted yesterday and he
sent me a picture of it. It was a residential lot,

(23:41):
undeveloped and it had become a dump site. He said,
did you ever deal with this when you're own city
council in Houston? I said I did as a matter
of fact. And this particular dump site was next door
to an apartment complex and there was a school another
block away, and he posted about it and said, wouldn't

(24:04):
do something about this? And I guess the guy who's
the property manager or maybe the owner of the apartment complex,
tried to criticize my friend, the city councilman, for posting
this picture of a dump site, and he said, oh, no, no, no,
he's wrong. That's the school and the church who did

(24:26):
the dumping. Well, you think a school and or a
church is going to dump in their neighborhood, or you
think some guy who's not from the US who runs
a low end apartment complex is more likely to have
allowed the trash and dumping to occur there. Who do
you think? How many immigrant run businesses have you been

(24:49):
in that refuse? You access to the restroom I've been
in a lot. I have a soft spot for India
and Indians. I'm going to tell you something. If an
Indian owns a gas station, if he can keep you
from using the restroom and him having to clean it,
he's going to the toilet's been broken for five years.

(25:10):
It's like the Persian rugshop that's been been going out
of business for ten years. I'm starting not to believe you.
But we don't want to question, we don't want to
comment because these are immigrants, they're non white.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
What truth is truth? Okay?

Speaker 6 (25:27):
If every white person weighed six hundred pounds at five
to ten and I were to say, you know, I
hate people are really fat, you wouldn't say, well, I
just say that, Well do you hate white people? Well,
someone being really fat does not mean I don't like them.
It's an observation. I observe things every day. If you're

(25:49):
uncomfortable with an observation, there's usually a reason for that,
and it's never the reason you think it is. It
says more about you than me. So if I were
to tell you that I suspect that Asian owned apartment
complexes that service low end renters, which is most of them,

(26:11):
are more likely to have crime and trash problems than
the average apartment complex, and that has been my observation.
I don't know if it's true statistically. I do find
it odd that that bothers so many people. That's been
my experience. And you know why it bothers people because

(26:35):
they believe it to be true too. Because you've been
taught that your mere observation, with the best of intentions,
is colored by your biases and prejudices. And you've been
taught that by people who share biases and prejudices against you.

(26:57):
But you don't know that, or you think that it's
okay because there are fewer of them than you.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Well, that feels weird.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
I believe in radical honesty. You're welcome to criticize white
people to me, and I'll agree or disagree. I do
it myself, but you need to understand that I'm going
to be very honest about observations without judgment of a
number of things that you won't like, and that might

(27:26):
be body smells, cleanliness, eating, habits, violence, success rates by
which we typically measure success rates. All of those things
are things that I observe and everybody else observes. It's
just a question of why we can't say it in
public because people have become so afraid of hurting someone

(27:48):
else's feelings. If you spend much time worried about hurting
other people's feelings, I'm going to tell you something. You're
unable to ever be candid and open and honest. So
you have to decide what matters more, truth or hurt feelings.
The nice neighbor the naive neighbor. That I've told you
again and again is the problem in American politics today.

(28:11):
Values not hurting people's feelings. I get emails from people
why did you have to say that you hurt people's feelings?
Because it was truthful and truth is an absolute defense.
I made a joke yesterday about Catholics not being Christians,
and I displayed incredible weakness for me that made me

(28:37):
kind of self loathing out of it by the time
I left, because I hung a bell around the fact
that it was a joke, because I knew i'd get
email from Catholics who were upset, and I was so
weak and pitiful, and I'm mad at myself for this
that I made a joke, And I said, all my
Catholic friends get mad when I use that joke. I

(28:58):
shouldn't have needed to do it. It was a sign
of great weakness on my part. But I didn't feel
like getting scolded last night, so I still did get
scolded by the.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Ninnies who are running around. I had one guy tell
me that's dangerous rhetoric.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
I said, Wait, I made a joke about Catholics not
being Christians the way Southern Baptists are, and you refer
to that as dangerous rhetoric. How is it dangerous? Well,
you know how people are toward Catholics. Are Catholics under attack?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Are they being beaten? Are they being killed?

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Oh? No, we got three more Catholics now today. What
are you even talking about?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
What are you so upset about Catholics under attack? Are
you kidding me?

Speaker 6 (29:46):
I'm mad at myself that I didn't just say the
joke and leave it there. But see, we can't joke anymore.
You want to know why road rages at an all
time behind this country because people can't ever jokes for
the way we It's like when the rice cooker steams
up and the top pops up to let that steam off.
We don't allow any steam to come off. And when
you don't allow any steam to come off. It builds

(30:07):
up and people get angry and they explode. And that's
what we're doing. That's why I'm not angry because I
can make jokes Blacks, Jews, Gays, Southern Baptists, Catholics. If
you can't make jokes and you fear offending everybody around you,
that's why you need so damn much therapy.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's why you.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Over medicate because you have no access to an outlet.
Humor is good for that, but humorless people would rather
keep the feelings from getting hurt.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
That's weak.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
