Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, walk and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Why do you say you feel trapped in a man's body. Well,
sometimes I get the minstrel crabs real hard.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
For me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's
about allowing everyone to be their authentic self.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You know, I'm big on.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That, just because I have been criticized for my height,
for my ethnicity. I've been in those you shouldn't belong
here many times, and for me, I don't want that space,
especially Golden State, to ever feel like that. So I'm
all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that
(00:56):
includes trans women.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
There's a lot of people for the sports around trans
athletes and where they can compete in. I would welcome
a transadte on my team more against my team anytime.
I don't think it's a problem in the world. It's
just another way to kind of attack trans.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
People's simply declaring who you are is all that's required
that I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in
the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the
WNBA's eligibility criteria and government framework surrounding self identification and inclusion.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Based on the current.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for
the upcoming WNBA draft in May twenty twenty seven. I
am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or
disaspect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking
that the current rules be applied equally to everyone, the
rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and
coaches have publicly advocated for my team, and I are
(01:50):
prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and
without exceptions, and I look forward to the WNBA honoring
at stated principle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I've always trusted the sign, so I thought I was
a man my entire life. But you know, after further review, I,
you know, look at a strong look at my personal preferences,
it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as
a transgender woman. And I think it's only fair I
get a chance to play with with some of my
queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We embrace justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. The Players Union said,
those are the values that unite this union and allow
it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change. Hate
abuse and demonization of any person or group of people,
including transgender people, only fuel fear, division and harm. We
will continue to have hard conversations, but we will not
(02:40):
be used as political.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, I watched Jetson's as a kid, and I
thought by now we'd be flying around space cars, we'd
have all these amazing things, and you know, maybe AI
will provide some of those. We have reached a point
in this country where we are debating whether a human
(03:03):
being with a beard and a wiener is a woman
if they just say they are, And it is so
laughable and so absurd that some people really cannot craft
an argument against it, because you can't imagine. We're now
(03:26):
arguing whether the sky is black or whether the sky
is red. We are arguing over whether capitalism that provided
the platform that has created the wealthiest national nurch, which
(03:48):
is the wealthiest, most wonderful, which is why the whole
world wants to come here, and then when they get
here destroyed. We are now arguing over whether Christianity is evil,
whether America is horrible, and the people with whom we
are arguing are in many cases winning the votes of
(04:10):
your children and your friends. And that's a problem. That's
a real problem. So I will say what I said
this morning, at the risk of repeating myself, and my
apologies for that. We've got a case. Let's take the
(04:31):
Texas case. We'll talking about Michigan, we'll talk about some
of these others. The US Senate last week barely passed,
barely confirmed President Trump's new attorney general. And we're fifty
three forty seven. I mean, you've got two senators who
call themselves independent. That's in Maine you've got Angus and
(04:54):
in Vermont you got Bernie but those are Democrats. They
caucus with the Democrats. So we're at fifty three forty seven.
The President should be able to get his agenda through
right hit his attorney general. But the problem was, you've
really got two Republicans. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, who can't
(05:15):
win a primary in Alaska. Her daddy gets rough she
lost a primary years ago, do you remember this, and
then runs in November. Alaska's got a wonky system. So
you've got Murkowski who's no Republican, especially if you tell
her something as a women's issue or really matters to Democrats.
Sho'll vote with the Democrats. And then you've got Susan
Collins in Maine with the funny thing, the really funny
(05:38):
thing about the Democrats putting Platner up, and now this
whack job, this whack job they replaced him with. I
think Platner was better than him, and he was a Nazi.
This guy's even crazier. What's amazing there is they're spending
all this effort to dethrone Susan Collins and she's, for
(05:58):
all intents and purposes, Democrat. So those two will split
off vote with the Democrats at the drop of a hat.
And then you had you had Cornyn who we finally beat,
who he's the one who held up the president's attorney
general candidate. And then you've got Mitch McConnell, who has
voted against Trump every chance he gets. I'm not sure
(06:19):
he's still alive, so he's not a reliable vote. You've
got Tom Tillis in North Carolina who has gone out
of his way to tell Maga that he hates us
and has been voting against Trump where he gets a chance,
and you know, acting like a petulant child. And by
the way, that race is now classified as lean Democrat,
(06:40):
and there's a chance, a very good chance Democrats could
pick that up. The only good news on the horizon
is that in Michigan the Democrats have shot themselves in
the foot or really had a wake up call where
they realize, Hey, the people who've been voting for you,
(07:01):
Bill Maher Fetterman, all of them are just now discovering
because guess what, as long as it was socialism, as
long as it was social craziness, as long as it
was wokeism, as long as it was anti American, none
of that bothered him. It wasn't until a portion of
the Democrat party took control the jew haters. And now
(07:23):
all these Democrats that were okay with the socialism and
the cutting off waners and everything else, now all of
a sudden they go, oh, you hate Jews. Oh well,
that's a step too far. If the coalition of Democrats
that hates Jews just didn't say they hate Jews till November,
they would win. But they can't do it. And thank
God for it, because it's the only thing that's got
(07:44):
some Democrats going, oh, okay, well that's the one thing
I will allow you to do. This is will Michael
Verie show enjoy it. I want to talk about the
Texas Senate race, the race to be the US Center
in Texas, but it applies to every race, and and
(08:06):
I want to ask you to set aside your thoughts
about who you're voting for and why you're voting for them,
and all those sorts of things. We've got tallafre Co
on the left and Ken Paxton on the right, and
I want you to think about something. Let me use
an analogy. I want you to think about the quarterback
of your fame, of your favorite team, and whether your guy.
(08:31):
You know, Let's say you're a Cleveland Browns fan and
you've got Deshaun Watson battling it out with uh Shador Sanders,
or in Arizona you've got h Gardner Minshew battling it
out with Jacoby Brissette, or uh in Atlanta you've got
(08:52):
two a Tagavaloa versus Michael Pennix, and Pinnix is out
for at least the first month, so taga Aloa is
going to be the starter to start anyway. Well, let's
say you got you got a good old fashioned quarterback duel,
you know, and coaches hate those because then all the
reporters want to do is talk about it. You had
(09:12):
it when Aaron Rodgers was coming up and the packers
let Ret far Off go and people couldn't believe it.
The reason reporters talk about this is because it gets
the attention of You give people what they want. If
you want to know why a lot of the news
is absolutely junk, it's because people like junk food. If
(09:38):
you want to know why there's a fast food restaurant
on every corner, it's because people like it. Used to
it was fast food used to be cheap. It ain't
cheap anymore, but that was the reason people went because
it was cheap. But those companies, evil as they are,
figured out ways to put things in there that will
(10:00):
absolutely positively send you to an early grave. But they're
not waiting around for that. They don't need you to
be alive to take care of your children. They don't
need you to be alive to take care of your wife,
to run your business, to be a good father. They
(10:22):
need you to buy their product. So what they do
is they put they put things in those products that
you will crave, maybe not even enjoy, but crave. That
was the point behind the cigarette industry. That's the point
behind food, behind drink, And it's our job as consumers
(10:47):
to make better decisions for what's best for us. The
fact that what they're doing is horrible for you, it's
not their fault if nobody bought it. But it's so
good I can't not buy it. Do you hear yourself? Really,
(11:08):
you're an adult. Do you teach your children that some
things are going to be so wonderful? I can't say
no to it? Okay? So why did you have an
affair with a woman next door who's thirty years younger
than you and ruin your home and now your kids
won't talk to you and your wife has kicked you
out and you're miserable. I couldn't help it. She was
just too attractive. Yeah, you could help it. You can
(11:33):
make better decisions. You have agency, hold yourself accountable. Yeah,
don't eat things that are bad for you. But Michael,
it's so hard to find things that are healthy. It's
hard to find them. Really, how hard is it harder
(11:56):
than ever it ever was before? Oh, there are a
lot of things that have been polluted with sugars, and
Robert F. Kennedy, to his credit, has made he's made
a study of it. He's passionately advocated. But the truth
of the matter is most people don't listen to what
he's saying. They kind of like it, they don't listen
(12:16):
to what he's saying. Doesn't help that he has an
awful voice. He has a paralysis of his voice. I'll
tell you this, it's pretty darned and impressive that the
guy to hearing him talk his nails on a chalkboard.
But he is so passionate about it, so devoted to
his mission, that he continues to do it, knowing that
(12:36):
he's the butt of jokes, knowing that he can't convey
what he wants to convey as easily as you and
I can. That's impressive. I admire that. But back to
the point. So, if your quarterback that you want to
win doesn't win, if your quarterback of your team does,
(12:57):
if your team doesn't win, it's not really going to
affect your life. Now, you might, in order to show
what a big fan you are, say yes, it will.
It would be the worst day ever, It's not really.
If you're an Aggie fan and the Aggies don't meet
the Longhorns, it's not going to change your life. If
you're a long horn fan and you lose to the Aggies,
that that last weekend, that last game, and it keeps
you out of the playoffs, it's not going to affect
(13:18):
your life. Now, it'll make your tickets less desirable or
make you want to go to the game. You know,
if your team's not winning, If your team doesn't win,
it's not as much fun. People don't want to. You know,
when your team's winning, everybody wants to borrow your tickets
or be your guests as to the game, and when
they're losing, nobody wants. But it doesn't affect your life.
(13:38):
You know what does affect your life if you're a candidate.
If the candidate who's going to vote, let's say U
s in it the way you would want the votes
to go doesn't win. And so knowing that who is
there and the vote they cast is going to make
a world of difference to your life. How involved a
(13:59):
people get? People tell me every day Paxton needs to
do more. It needs to be on TV more, He
needs to do this, he needs to do that. What
about you, I'm not running for the Senate? Okay, how
do you think he wins when you care so deeply
about something. If your kid needs open heart surgery, you
(14:21):
will find a doctor who can do it. If you
can't afford it, you will find somebody who will pay
for it. You will move heaven and earth for that,
because you understand it matters. People don't understand. We have
become complacent because we've had some wins. This is what
happened in two thousand and eight when Rush Limbaugh said,
(14:42):
when Rush Limbaugh said, I don't like McCain, but I
really don't like Obama. Obama's really bad for this country,
and people's a lot of Republicans said, well, we've had
eight years. I don't really like getting attacked all the time.
You know, Bush couldn't say nuclear. It was weird, you know,
(15:04):
he had he mispronounced some words. You know, he kind
of said some dumb stuff. Let's let's let's have a
black guy, let's have a Democrat, let's be post racial. Yeah,
I'm gonna go and vote for one of them, and
then I don't have to feel bad that I'm a racist.
I don't have to feel like I'm a racist when
they call me a racism. But ah, I voted for
Obama and he came for you first, isn't he? And
(15:25):
then once he was in power, you couldn't dislodge him.
Because now he's in there, a lot of people regretted
that vote. Here we are twenty twenty six, they're gonna
take the shot again. They're gonna vote for Obama again.
They're gonna do all the dumb things they swore they
wouldn't do again for the same exact reasons. Because Democrats
are very aggressive, and very good and very committed, and
we better get committed, each and every one of us
were right now, this is head coach Newhawkson. You're listening
(15:48):
in to the jar. Mister Michael Perry, I don't know
if I'm making my point properly. Let me try again.
If Ken Paxton loses the US Senate race, if Republican
Mike Rodgers loses in Michigan, if we lose these races,
(16:13):
those individuals will not become US senators. They will not,
you know, get to go on the junkets. They will
not get to hang out at the White House. And yeah,
so it will affect their lives a little, but they'll
go on to do other things people always do. But
(16:34):
it will affect your life Abdul l said in Tallafrico
and Texas, these people have very very bad plans for
what to do with your money, your health, your children,
your country. They have very very very evil designs. And
(17:00):
if you understand that, then why on earth wouldn't we
get more motivated. See, you don't show up at training
camp to help your guy become the quarterback because you
want him to be the starting quarterback. You don't go
to You don't train and go out on the field
(17:21):
and knock somebody's head off so that your running back
can break open his core a touchdown. He is kind
of sit and clap a little. You are entertained by
it because it is entertainment. At the end of the day,
doesn't affect you one way or another. You don't go
home and your stock portfolio isd valued. Right. You don't
(17:42):
see a change in the tax code. You don't see
yourself paying more in taxes. You don't all of a
sudden see illegal aliens running around everywhere because your team
lost the game. But if the candidate who would vote
most like you loses, it's not him that loses, it's you.
(18:07):
Most candidates will make more money at least on their
w two as a senator as a private citizen than
they would as a US senator. And if you're making
more money as a US senator then you would in
the private sector. It ain't on your W two and
it ain't right. But sure they want to win. They
(18:30):
want to win. Its ego and all that. But people
are sitting back as if, huh, wonder if that guy
should win or that guy should win. It's not a
quarterback controversy for your team. It's who's going to be
able to cast the vote to destroy this country or not?
(18:52):
And so this passive whimsical like it's American idol. Huh.
I don't know if I'll go for Reuben or that
woman over there. I don't know Reuben. I kind of
kind of like his storay. He sings a little tells
you how I to date. I am, isn't it I
kind of like that one over there. I might vote
(19:14):
for her. I might vote for him. I don't know.
It'd be kind of fun to see him win. You know,
he's got good pipes, even like a nice guy. My
mom's nice, you know. I don't know. I don't know.
What is it to cost a dollar to vote? I
don't know. I might vote, I might not. I wonder
who's gonna win. I may go to bed and just
wake up in the morning and see who won. You know,
(19:36):
I don't know. That's not what we're doing here. And
that's the mentality our people have. But you know who
doesn't have that mentality The Democrat Socialists of America. They
are showing up to vote. I read a stat this
weekend I've not been able to verify yet. It was
(19:57):
about the voter turnout in Dearborn, Michigan, and either they
cheated or it looked a lot like a Saddam Hussein election.
You had something like ninety eight percent of the people.
That's what I read. That can't be right, but that's
what it said. Because these minority groups know that everybody
(20:19):
has to show up and vote. They've got high hopes
for the government. The socialists, they have high hopes for
the government. If we win. All those rich people that
I hate, I get all their stuff. You ever see
a third world country topple their government. The most recent
(20:39):
one that I recall was in Sri Lanka and the
presidential palace was overrun. It was like eighteen twenty eight
at the White House when Andrew Jackson won and all
the people, it was just the doors were pulled off,
the hinges and people were just in their drinking the
expensive booze and living it up. That's what the Democrats
(21:03):
are planning to do with everything. You own the means
of production, that's the term your business. What Edi I
mean did in Uganda? Ide I mean, came to power.
Don't stand in my way. Support what I'm doing. I'm
gonna throw the brown skins out. That was the Indians,
(21:24):
I mean the Yeah, the Indians from India, dot not feather,
I'm gonna throw you see all these Indians that have
these businesses. Some of those Indians had been there for
fifty years. You see all these Indians that own the
shops and the restaurants and the manufacturing facilities. Well, yeah,
they came there. They worked hard, They brought no how
that you didn't have. But those Indians had built those
(21:46):
businesses up, and the Black Africans living there had not.
They didn't have to know how, they didn't have the expertise,
they didn't have the culture. So those Indians came into
Uganda the way Susse Roads went into Rhodesia. Did they
piss some people off. Sure, can they really make you
mad as a customer? Sure? Did they always treat the
(22:11):
locals nicely? Probably not? I don't know, but probably not.
But Idy I mean said, I'll use the military, I'll
drive them out of here, and then we, the black people,
the Ugandan people, we will own everything. And he did.
(22:31):
It's a really good movie called Mississippi Massala. It's kind
of pastiche it's not the greatest, but it's pretty good.
Denzel Washington plays a country bumpkin guy that does the
old has a carpet cleaning company. But it's it's a
really good it has it has one of the best
Indian actors of all time. His name is Roshan Seth
(22:52):
and Uh. He plays a He plays a father who
has to leave Uganda. He's too old to start over.
I'm to the United States. So it gets a little
hot sheet motel and the family lives there, but he
loses everything he built in that country. The point of
all that, Oh, by the way, they just realized Mira Nair,
who is the director of that movie, is Zorn Mumdani's mother. Yeah,
(23:15):
kind of the reverse message of her message here, But
it's about Indians. So you know that the Indians were
kicked out of Africa and they're mad about it. So
very interesting. I just realized that didn't realize where that
was going. But anyway, when Indy, I mean kicked all
the Indians out, guess what he handed all the jobs,
(23:36):
all the companies, all the capital, and all the businesses
to his friends. And in a matter of months the
country had collapsed figuratively and literally was destroyed because those
people didn't know what they were doing. You know, you
can want for something. Every consumer thinks they know how
to run. Every drunk thinks they know how to run
(23:58):
the bar, every food he thinks they know how to
run the restaurant, every consumer of things. They know how
to build better cars and build better houses and do
everything better than the business owner who's done it. And
every poor person thinks they should be rich, and they're
willing to vote for the person who gives them the
opportunity to take from the rich. Not earn it, not
(24:19):
use capital, not borrow capital, not in vest, not be
an entrepreneur, take it, give it to me. And a
lot of these people with thugs and vandals and criminals themselves.
So this comes very naturally, just take from others that
which you want. And that's what the Democrats are promising them,
and that's why they're showing up to vote. That's what
(24:40):
inspires them. From Levisians to librarians, everyone listens to Michael
Very Show, you will sometimes hear Democrats make reference to
President Trump's comments about about the shootings in Virginia years ago,
(25:07):
and they will misquote him as saying they're good people
on both sides, and they do this on purpose, and
you will often over the years, the Democrats have used
this technique where they will basically say, they'll go find
(25:29):
a Republican in a swing district, a fifty to fifty district,
and they'll say Trump said this, and he may or
may not have said that, or they could be taking
it out of context. Right, Let's say someone says, I
would like Hitler to come back to life and stand
(25:53):
trial and be convicted, and then everybody could throw rocks
at him until he died and it would drag out
for weeks. It'll be very cathartic for societies for people
to be able to do this. I just said I
would like Hitler. If you stop the clip right there,
(26:17):
you now have a clip of me saying I would
like Hitler. Okay, that's what they do. And then you say,
do you disavow what Trump said? And in a swing
district where you need every voter, there are some Republicans
who don't like Trump. That's how you peel them away.
(26:41):
When now the reverse is happening. The Democrats have an
insurrection on their hands. It is bad. This, this is
the French Revolution. There are going to be there's there
there's a storming of the Bastille and it seemingly happened overnight.
(27:06):
It's been brewing, but no one saw it because you
don't know, you don't know what's bubbling up until there's
a candidate who is a manifestation of what people are thinking.
There has been an increasing amount there's been an increasing
(27:26):
sympathy toward socialism among young people. That's been going on
for several years. That's who shows up for an AOC speech,
That's who shows up for Bernie Sanders speech. This is
why Democrats flirt with it. That's why Obamacare was popular.
That's pure blown socialism. But now now there is that
(27:51):
moment and if you've had kids, you know what this is.
Sometimes your kids like to take up a position that's
ridiculous and absurd, to show their independence. The socialists have
now become communists. And now you're getting AOC talking about, oh,
you know, all that stuff we said in twenty twenty,
that was woke one point zero. We've moved past that.
(28:12):
That was crazy talk. So now you've got Democrats saying
she's very reasonable. See she's disavowing what she said six
years ago. Oh, just disavow it. Okay. There's something known
as the Overton window, and it is the space within
(28:33):
which ideas are debated. And so if you are in
the middle of a conversation about whether men should play
in women's sports, and someone says, I think men should
be able to rape women at will, whenever they want,
wherever they want. No, that's outside the Overton window. The
(29:00):
window is the space within which you argue, and anything
outside the window is off limits. So the goal for
extremists is to move the Overton window so that what
was extreme and outside the window is now on the
(29:20):
edge of the conversation, and eventually it becomes the middle
of the conversation. This is what Trump was able to do.
He was able to move the window that the window
of possibility, the window of conversation, so that things that
(29:41):
were considered crazy before could be openly discussed. Oh we
can we can deport people, we can close the border.
Oh wow, okay, we can stop a firm action. That
(30:03):
saying we're going to stop affirmative action made you a
clan leader and your career would be destroyed, but most
people agreed. Trump made that acceptable. In order to do that,
he had to present ideas that were radical. They were
(30:24):
outside the Overton window, but when you saw the support
for it, the window moved in a lot of Republicans,
cowardly Republicans who would never take up positions that were
very popular among the people, but they weren't sure how popular,
(30:47):
so they would say, oh, those people are crazy, those
people are your base. This is why John Cornyn lost
his Senate seat, by the way, this is why Bill
Cassidy lost in Louisiana. This is why Tom Tillis is retiring.
This is why Mitch mc connell is a pariah in
the party. These are the reasons for these sorts of things.
(31:08):
But what you do when you put a radical idea
out there and then you win an election is you
show that there is support for it. There's no way
to know how much support there is. Polls don't matter.
What matters is who shows up to vote. Trump brought
(31:29):
all the energy in twenty sixteen because there were almost
twenty candidates running for office, but only he was saying
things that the American people believed and had not heard
anyone say. Remember that was after eight years of Barack
Obama and all of a sudden, this guy's willing to
(31:51):
say these things that we feel. And then when he won,
he had to be destroyed because he was the proof
of concept. If you go pitching for an investment on
a product you have and someone says, all right, well
can you sell it? I don't know. Well, go show
(32:13):
me you can sell it, that says shark Shark tank.
You know, one oh one. Show me that you have
some sales. Show me a proof of concept. What the
Democrat Socialists of America, which are actually communists, have done
by winning these elections, and we'll see what happens in
Wisconsin tomorrow. What they've done is shown a proof of concept.
(32:35):
It's been a wake up call. What it's meant is
that every Democrat is now having asked himself a question,
just the way every had asked themselves a question, Am
I ready to go maga? Or am I going to
be a Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Bob Dole, establishment Republican?
(32:56):
George W. Bush, Jeb Bush? What am I gonna do?
Carl Rove? Trump made Republican? You see how many Republicans
are out there. Now, I'm gonna be tough on the
Democrats and I'm gonna call those bastards what they are.
Oh well, well, all of a sudden you found a backbone.
What are you? Trump light? But they saw that that's
(33:17):
where the base was. Well, the Democrats are now doing
that with this radical communist takeover, and there are very
few of them. Fetterman. Now you got this guy, Michael Rosa,
who was Jill Biden's chief of staff, and she's come
out now. He's come out now and said I can't
(33:38):
I'm endorsing Mike Rodgers in the Michigan Oh, we got
so much talk about These are interesting townsfolks,
It's that time time time, time, walk and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Why do you say you feel trapped in a man's body. Well,
sometimes I get the minstrel crabs real hard.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
For me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's
about allowing everyone to be their authentic self.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You know, I'm big on.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That, just because I have been criticized for my height,
for my ethnicity. I've been in those you shouldn't belong
here many times, and for me, I don't want that space,
especially Golden State, to ever feel like that. So I'm
all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that
(00:56):
includes trans women.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
There's a lot of people for the sports around trans
athletes and where they can compete in. I would welcome
a transadte on my team more against my team anytime.
I don't think it's a problem in the world. It's
just another way to kind of attack trans.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
People's simply declaring who you are is all that's required
that I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in
the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the
WNBA's eligibility criteria and government framework surrounding self identification and inclusion.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Based on the current.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for
the upcoming WNBA draft in May twenty twenty seven. I
am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or
disaspect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking
that the current rules be applied equally to everyone, the
rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and
coaches have publicly advocated for my team, and I are
(01:50):
prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and
without exceptions, and I look forward to the WNBA honoring
at stated principle.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I've always trusted the sign, so I thought I was
a man my entire life. But you know, after further review, I,
you know, look at a strong look at my personal preferences,
it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as
a transgender woman. And I think it's only fair I
get a chance to play with with some of my
queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We embrace justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. The Players Union said,
those are the values that unite this union and allow
it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change. Hate
abuse and demonization of any person or group of people,
including transgender people, only fuel fear, division and harm. We
will continue to have hard conversations, but we will not
(02:40):
be used as political.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, I watched Jetson's as a kid, and I
thought by now we'd be flying around space cars, we'd
have all these amazing things, and you know, maybe AI
will provide some of those. We have reached a point
in this country where we are debating whether a human
(03:03):
being with a beard and a wiener is a woman
if they just say they are, And it is so
laughable and so absurd that some people really cannot craft
an argument against it, because you can't imagine. We're now
(03:26):
arguing whether the sky is black or whether the sky
is red. We are arguing over whether capitalism that provided
the platform that has created the wealthiest national nurch, which
(03:48):
is the wealthiest, most wonderful, which is why the whole
world wants to come here, and then when they get
here destroyed. We are now arguing over whether Christianity is evil,
whether America is horrible, and the people with whom we
are arguing are in many cases winning the votes of
(04:10):
your children and your friends. And that's a problem. That's
a real problem. So I will say what I said
this morning, at the risk of repeating myself, and my
apologies for that. We've got a case. Let's take the
(04:31):
Texas case. We'll talking about Michigan, we'll talk about some
of these others. The US Senate last week barely passed,
barely confirmed President Trump's new attorney general. And we're fifty
three forty seven. I mean, you've got two senators who
call themselves independent. That's in Maine you've got Angus and
(04:54):
in Vermont you got Bernie but those are Democrats. They
caucus with the Democrats. So we're at fifty three forty seven.
The President should be able to get his agenda through
right hit his attorney general. But the problem was, you've
really got two Republicans. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, who can't
(05:15):
win a primary in Alaska. Her daddy gets rough she
lost a primary years ago, do you remember this, and
then runs in November. Alaska's got a wonky system. So
you've got Murkowski who's no Republican, especially if you tell
her something as a women's issue or really matters to Democrats.
Sho'll vote with the Democrats. And then you've got Susan
Collins in Maine with the funny thing, the really funny
(05:38):
thing about the Democrats putting Platner up, and now this
whack job, this whack job they replaced him with. I
think Platner was better than him, and he was a Nazi.
This guy's even crazier. What's amazing there is they're spending
all this effort to dethrone Susan Collins and she's, for
(05:58):
all intents and purposes, Democrat. So those two will split
off vote with the Democrats at the drop of a hat.
And then you had you had Cornyn who we finally beat,
who he's the one who held up the president's attorney
general candidate. And then you've got Mitch McConnell, who has
voted against Trump every chance he gets. I'm not sure
(06:19):
he's still alive, so he's not a reliable vote. You've
got Tom Tillis in North Carolina who has gone out
of his way to tell Maga that he hates us
and has been voting against Trump where he gets a chance,
and you know, acting like a petulant child. And by
the way, that race is now classified as lean Democrat,
(06:40):
and there's a chance, a very good chance Democrats could
pick that up. The only good news on the horizon
is that in Michigan the Democrats have shot themselves in
the foot or really had a wake up call where
they realize, Hey, the people who've been voting for you,
(07:01):
Bill Maher Fetterman, all of them are just now discovering
because guess what, as long as it was socialism, as
long as it was social craziness, as long as it
was wokeism, as long as it was anti American, none
of that bothered him. It wasn't until a portion of
the Democrat party took control the jew haters. And now
(07:23):
all these Democrats that were okay with the socialism and
the cutting off waners and everything else, now all of
a sudden they go, oh, you hate Jews. Oh well,
that's a step too far. If the coalition of Democrats
that hates Jews just didn't say they hate Jews till November,
they would win. But they can't do it. And thank
God for it, because it's the only thing that's got
(07:44):
some Democrats going, oh, okay, well that's the one thing
I will allow you to do. This is will Michael
Verie show enjoy it. I want to talk about the
Texas Senate race, the race to be the US Center
in Texas, but it applies to every race, and and
(08:06):
I want to ask you to set aside your thoughts
about who you're voting for and why you're voting for them,
and all those sorts of things. We've got tallafre Co
on the left and Ken Paxton on the right, and
I want you to think about something. Let me use
an analogy. I want you to think about the quarterback
of your fame, of your favorite team, and whether your guy.
(08:31):
You know, Let's say you're a Cleveland Browns fan and
you've got Deshaun Watson battling it out with uh Shador Sanders,
or in Arizona you've got h Gardner Minshew battling it
out with Jacoby Brissette, or uh in Atlanta you've got
(08:52):
two a Tagavaloa versus Michael Pennix, and Pinnix is out
for at least the first month, so taga Aloa is
going to be the starter to start anyway. Well, let's
say you got you got a good old fashioned quarterback duel,
you know, and coaches hate those because then all the
reporters want to do is talk about it. You had
(09:12):
it when Aaron Rodgers was coming up and the packers
let Ret far Off go and people couldn't believe it.
The reason reporters talk about this is because it gets
the attention of You give people what they want. If
you want to know why a lot of the news
is absolutely junk, it's because people like junk food. If
(09:38):
you want to know why there's a fast food restaurant
on every corner, it's because people like it. Used to
it was fast food used to be cheap. It ain't
cheap anymore, but that was the reason people went because
it was cheap. But those companies, evil as they are,
figured out ways to put things in there that will
(10:00):
absolutely positively send you to an early grave. But they're
not waiting around for that. They don't need you to
be alive to take care of your children. They don't
need you to be alive to take care of your wife,
to run your business, to be a good father. They
(10:22):
need you to buy their product. So what they do
is they put they put things in those products that
you will crave, maybe not even enjoy, but crave. That
was the point behind the cigarette industry. That's the point
behind food, behind drink, And it's our job as consumers
(10:47):
to make better decisions for what's best for us. The
fact that what they're doing is horrible for you, it's
not their fault if nobody bought it. But it's so
good I can't not buy it. Do you hear yourself? Really,
(11:08):
you're an adult. Do you teach your children that some
things are going to be so wonderful? I can't say
no to it? Okay? So why did you have an
affair with a woman next door who's thirty years younger
than you and ruin your home and now your kids
won't talk to you and your wife has kicked you
out and you're miserable. I couldn't help it. She was
just too attractive. Yeah, you could help it. You can
(11:33):
make better decisions. You have agency, hold yourself accountable. Yeah,
don't eat things that are bad for you. But Michael,
it's so hard to find things that are healthy. It's
hard to find them. Really, how hard is it harder
(11:56):
than ever it ever was before? Oh, there are a
lot of things that have been polluted with sugars, and
Robert F. Kennedy, to his credit, has made he's made
a study of it. He's passionately advocated. But the truth
of the matter is most people don't listen to what
he's saying. They kind of like it, they don't listen
(12:16):
to what he's saying. Doesn't help that he has an
awful voice. He has a paralysis of his voice. I'll
tell you this, it's pretty darned and impressive that the
guy to hearing him talk his nails on a chalkboard.
But he is so passionate about it, so devoted to
his mission, that he continues to do it, knowing that
(12:36):
he's the butt of jokes, knowing that he can't convey
what he wants to convey as easily as you and
I can. That's impressive. I admire that. But back to
the point. So, if your quarterback that you want to
win doesn't win, if your quarterback of your team does,
(12:57):
if your team doesn't win, it's not really going to
affect your life. Now, you might, in order to show
what a big fan you are, say yes, it will.
It would be the worst day ever, It's not really.
If you're an Aggie fan and the Aggies don't meet
the Longhorns, it's not going to change your life. If
you're a long horn fan and you lose to the Aggies,
that that last weekend, that last game, and it keeps
you out of the playoffs, it's not going to affect
(13:18):
your life. Now, it'll make your tickets less desirable or
make you want to go to the game. You know,
if your team's not winning, If your team doesn't win,
it's not as much fun. People don't want to. You know,
when your team's winning, everybody wants to borrow your tickets
or be your guests as to the game, and when
they're losing, nobody wants. But it doesn't affect your life.
(13:38):
You know what does affect your life if you're a candidate.
If the candidate who's going to vote, let's say U
s in it the way you would want the votes
to go doesn't win. And so knowing that who is
there and the vote they cast is going to make
a world of difference to your life. How involved a
(13:59):
people get? People tell me every day Paxton needs to
do more. It needs to be on TV more, He
needs to do this, he needs to do that. What
about you, I'm not running for the Senate? Okay, how
do you think he wins when you care so deeply
about something. If your kid needs open heart surgery, you
(14:21):
will find a doctor who can do it. If you
can't afford it, you will find somebody who will pay
for it. You will move heaven and earth for that,
because you understand it matters. People don't understand. We have
become complacent because we've had some wins. This is what
happened in two thousand and eight when Rush Limbaugh said,
(14:42):
when Rush Limbaugh said, I don't like McCain, but I
really don't like Obama. Obama's really bad for this country,
and people's a lot of Republicans said, well, we've had
eight years. I don't really like getting attacked all the time.
You know, Bush couldn't say nuclear. It was weird, you know,
(15:04):
he had he mispronounced some words. You know, he kind
of said some dumb stuff. Let's let's let's have a
black guy, let's have a Democrat, let's be post racial. Yeah,
I'm gonna go and vote for one of them, and
then I don't have to feel bad that I'm a racist.
I don't have to feel like I'm a racist when
they call me a racism. But ah, I voted for
Obama and he came for you first, isn't he? And
(15:25):
then once he was in power, you couldn't dislodge him.
Because now he's in there, a lot of people regretted
that vote. Here we are twenty twenty six, they're gonna
take the shot again. They're gonna vote for Obama again.
They're gonna do all the dumb things they swore they
wouldn't do again for the same exact reasons. Because Democrats
are very aggressive, and very good and very committed, and
we better get committed, each and every one of us
were right now, this is head coach Newhawkson. You're listening
(15:48):
in to the jar. Mister Michael Perry, I don't know
if I'm making my point properly. Let me try again.
If Ken Paxton loses the US Senate race, if Republican
Mike Rodgers loses in Michigan, if we lose these races,
(16:13):
those individuals will not become US senators. They will not,
you know, get to go on the junkets. They will
not get to hang out at the White House. And yeah,
so it will affect their lives a little, but they'll
go on to do other things people always do. But
(16:34):
it will affect your life Abdul l said in Tallafrico
and Texas, these people have very very bad plans for
what to do with your money, your health, your children,
your country. They have very very very evil designs. And
(17:00):
if you understand that, then why on earth wouldn't we
get more motivated. See, you don't show up at training
camp to help your guy become the quarterback because you
want him to be the starting quarterback. You don't go
to You don't train and go out on the field
(17:21):
and knock somebody's head off so that your running back
can break open his core a touchdown. He is kind
of sit and clap a little. You are entertained by
it because it is entertainment. At the end of the day,
doesn't affect you one way or another. You don't go
home and your stock portfolio isd valued. Right. You don't
(17:42):
see a change in the tax code. You don't see
yourself paying more in taxes. You don't all of a
sudden see illegal aliens running around everywhere because your team
lost the game. But if the candidate who would vote
most like you loses, it's not him that loses, it's you.
(18:07):
Most candidates will make more money at least on their
w two as a senator as a private citizen than
they would as a US senator. And if you're making
more money as a US senator then you would in
the private sector. It ain't on your W two and
it ain't right. But sure they want to win. They
(18:30):
want to win. Its ego and all that. But people
are sitting back as if, huh, wonder if that guy
should win or that guy should win. It's not a
quarterback controversy for your team. It's who's going to be
able to cast the vote to destroy this country or not?
(18:52):
And so this passive whimsical like it's American idol. Huh.
I don't know if I'll go for Reuben or that
woman over there. I don't know Reuben. I kind of
kind of like his storay. He sings a little tells
you how I to date. I am, isn't it I
kind of like that one over there. I might vote
(19:14):
for her. I might vote for him. I don't know.
It'd be kind of fun to see him win. You know,
he's got good pipes, even like a nice guy. My
mom's nice, you know. I don't know. I don't know.
What is it to cost a dollar to vote? I
don't know. I might vote, I might not. I wonder
who's gonna win. I may go to bed and just
wake up in the morning and see who won. You know,
(19:36):
I don't know. That's not what we're doing here. And
that's the mentality our people have. But you know who
doesn't have that mentality The Democrat Socialists of America. They
are showing up to vote. I read a stat this
weekend I've not been able to verify yet. It was
(19:57):
about the voter turnout in Dearborn, Michigan, and either they
cheated or it looked a lot like a Saddam Hussein election.
You had something like ninety eight percent of the people.
That's what I read. That can't be right, but that's
what it said. Because these minority groups know that everybody
(20:19):
has to show up and vote. They've got high hopes
for the government. The socialists, they have high hopes for
the government. If we win. All those rich people that
I hate, I get all their stuff. You ever see
a third world country topple their government. The most recent
(20:39):
one that I recall was in Sri Lanka and the
presidential palace was overrun. It was like eighteen twenty eight
at the White House when Andrew Jackson won and all
the people, it was just the doors were pulled off,
the hinges and people were just in their drinking the
expensive booze and living it up. That's what the Democrats
(21:03):
are planning to do with everything. You own the means
of production, that's the term your business. What Edi I
mean did in Uganda? Ide I mean, came to power.
Don't stand in my way. Support what I'm doing. I'm
gonna throw the brown skins out. That was the Indians,
(21:24):
I mean the Yeah, the Indians from India, dot not feather,
I'm gonna throw you see all these Indians that have
these businesses. Some of those Indians had been there for
fifty years. You see all these Indians that own the
shops and the restaurants and the manufacturing facilities. Well, yeah,
they came there. They worked hard, They brought no how
that you didn't have. But those Indians had built those
(21:46):
businesses up, and the Black Africans living there had not.
They didn't have to know how, they didn't have the expertise,
they didn't have the culture. So those Indians came into
Uganda the way Susse Roads went into Rhodesia. Did they
piss some people off. Sure, can they really make you
mad as a customer? Sure? Did they always treat the
(22:11):
locals nicely? Probably not? I don't know, but probably not.
But Idy I mean said, I'll use the military, I'll
drive them out of here, and then we, the black people,
the Ugandan people, we will own everything. And he did.
(22:31):
It's a really good movie called Mississippi Massala. It's kind
of pastiche it's not the greatest, but it's pretty good.
Denzel Washington plays a country bumpkin guy that does the
old has a carpet cleaning company. But it's it's a
really good it has it has one of the best
Indian actors of all time. His name is Roshan Seth
(22:52):
and Uh. He plays a He plays a father who
has to leave Uganda. He's too old to start over.
I'm to the United States. So it gets a little
hot sheet motel and the family lives there, but he
loses everything he built in that country. The point of
all that, Oh, by the way, they just realized Mira Nair,
who is the director of that movie, is Zorn Mumdani's mother. Yeah,
(23:15):
kind of the reverse message of her message here, But
it's about Indians. So you know that the Indians were
kicked out of Africa and they're mad about it. So
very interesting. I just realized that didn't realize where that
was going. But anyway, when Indy, I mean kicked all
the Indians out, guess what he handed all the jobs,
(23:36):
all the companies, all the capital, and all the businesses
to his friends. And in a matter of months the
country had collapsed figuratively and literally was destroyed because those
people didn't know what they were doing. You know, you
can want for something. Every consumer thinks they know how
to run. Every drunk thinks they know how to run
(23:58):
the bar, every food he thinks they know how to
run the restaurant, every consumer of things. They know how
to build better cars and build better houses and do
everything better than the business owner who's done it. And
every poor person thinks they should be rich, and they're
willing to vote for the person who gives them the
opportunity to take from the rich. Not earn it, not
(24:19):
use capital, not borrow capital, not in vest, not be
an entrepreneur, take it, give it to me. And a
lot of these people with thugs and vandals and criminals themselves.
So this comes very naturally, just take from others that
which you want. And that's what the Democrats are promising them,
and that's why they're showing up to vote. That's what
(24:40):
inspires them. From Levisians to librarians, everyone listens to Michael
Very Show, you will sometimes hear Democrats make reference to
President Trump's comments about about the shootings in Virginia years ago,
(25:07):
and they will misquote him as saying they're good people
on both sides, and they do this on purpose, and
you will often over the years, the Democrats have used
this technique where they will basically say, they'll go find
(25:29):
a Republican in a swing district, a fifty to fifty district,
and they'll say Trump said this, and he may or
may not have said that, or they could be taking
it out of context. Right, Let's say someone says, I
would like Hitler to come back to life and stand
(25:53):
trial and be convicted, and then everybody could throw rocks
at him until he died and it would drag out
for weeks. It'll be very cathartic for societies for people
to be able to do this. I just said I
would like Hitler. If you stop the clip right there,
(26:17):
you now have a clip of me saying I would
like Hitler. Okay, that's what they do. And then you say,
do you disavow what Trump said? And in a swing
district where you need every voter, there are some Republicans
who don't like Trump. That's how you peel them away.
(26:41):
When now the reverse is happening. The Democrats have an
insurrection on their hands. It is bad. This, this is
the French Revolution. There are going to be there's there
there's a storming of the Bastille and it seemingly happened overnight.
(27:06):
It's been brewing, but no one saw it because you
don't know, you don't know what's bubbling up until there's
a candidate who is a manifestation of what people are thinking.
There has been an increasing amount there's been an increasing
(27:26):
sympathy toward socialism among young people. That's been going on
for several years. That's who shows up for an AOC speech,
That's who shows up for Bernie Sanders speech. This is
why Democrats flirt with it. That's why Obamacare was popular.
That's pure blown socialism. But now now there is that
(27:51):
moment and if you've had kids, you know what this is.
Sometimes your kids like to take up a position that's
ridiculous and absurd, to show their independence. The socialists have
now become communists. And now you're getting AOC talking about, oh,
you know, all that stuff we said in twenty twenty,
that was woke one point zero. We've moved past that.
(28:12):
That was crazy talk. So now you've got Democrats saying
she's very reasonable. See she's disavowing what she said six
years ago. Oh, just disavow it. Okay. There's something known
as the Overton window, and it is the space within
(28:33):
which ideas are debated. And so if you are in
the middle of a conversation about whether men should play
in women's sports, and someone says, I think men should
be able to rape women at will, whenever they want,
wherever they want. No, that's outside the Overton window. The
(29:00):
window is the space within which you argue, and anything
outside the window is off limits. So the goal for
extremists is to move the Overton window so that what
was extreme and outside the window is now on the
(29:20):
edge of the conversation, and eventually it becomes the middle
of the conversation. This is what Trump was able to do.
He was able to move the window that the window
of possibility, the window of conversation, so that things that
(29:41):
were considered crazy before could be openly discussed. Oh we
can we can deport people, we can close the border.
Oh wow, okay, we can stop a firm action. That
(30:03):
saying we're going to stop affirmative action made you a
clan leader and your career would be destroyed, but most
people agreed. Trump made that acceptable. In order to do that,
he had to present ideas that were radical. They were
(30:24):
outside the Overton window, but when you saw the support
for it, the window moved in a lot of Republicans,
cowardly Republicans who would never take up positions that were
very popular among the people, but they weren't sure how popular,
(30:47):
so they would say, oh, those people are crazy, those
people are your base. This is why John Cornyn lost
his Senate seat, by the way, this is why Bill
Cassidy lost in Louisiana. This is why Tom Tillis is retiring.
This is why Mitch mc connell is a pariah in
the party. These are the reasons for these sorts of things.
(31:08):
But what you do when you put a radical idea
out there and then you win an election is you
show that there is support for it. There's no way
to know how much support there is. Polls don't matter.
What matters is who shows up to vote. Trump brought
(31:29):
all the energy in twenty sixteen because there were almost
twenty candidates running for office, but only he was saying
things that the American people believed and had not heard
anyone say. Remember that was after eight years of Barack
Obama and all of a sudden, this guy's willing to
(31:51):
say these things that we feel. And then when he won,
he had to be destroyed because he was the proof
of concept. If you go pitching for an investment on
a product you have and someone says, all right, well
can you sell it? I don't know. Well, go show
