Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Mister President, mister Prime Minister. It's the speakers, seemed members
of the Knesset, and cherished citizens of Israel. We gather
in a day of profound joy, of soaring hope, of
renewed faith, and above all, a day to give our
deepest thanks to the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jake.
(00:40):
Arrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous hostages are
returning to the glorious embrace of their families, and it
is glorious. Twenty eight more precious loved ones are coming
home at last to rest in His sacred soil.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
For all of time, and after.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
So many years of unceasing war and endless danger. Today
the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens
are still, and the sun rises on a holy land
that is finally at peace, a land kind, a region
that will live God willing in peace for all eternity.
(01:23):
It's the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony
for Israel and all the nations of what will soon
be a truly magnificent region. I believe that so strongly.
This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.
This week cease fire.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We've achieved the most challenging breakthrough of them all, the
most challenging breakthrough maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I've been involved in a lot of success, I have
never seen anything like what's going on today.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
All over the world, people are dancing in the streets.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Not just they're dancing in the streets of countries that
would have never danced in the street about what's happening today.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They're dancing in.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Those three The guy who once dwelled among his people
in the city still calls us, in the words of scripture,
the turn from evil and do.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Good, to seek peace and pursue it. We settled eight
wars in eight months. I'm now including this one. By
the way, if that's okay, They.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
May say, well that was quick, because yesterday I was
saying seven, but now I can say eight.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The hostages are back, The hostages are time. A student
of history, like many of you, I have memorized certain dates,
our Mistice Day, d Day, the tet offensive, July fourth,
(02:58):
nine eleven. Today is a truly historic day. The President
leading a peace conference for peace in Goza as twenty
(03:19):
living Israeli hostages, the last of the hostages alive were released,
and I got to tell you I saw a video.
I don't like when cameras, when TV stations show up
(03:40):
at a school shooting, and you'll see the mother or
father come running up, but invariably, but there'll be some
mother and she's running in her heels as she's coming
from work. She's running up towards the school. It's like
the wind is blowing at her face and she looks
almost disheveled because she is wrecked. She is wrecked, emotionally frantic,
(04:07):
and it's painful to watch. But in some crazy way,
she's certain that if she can just get up there
fast enough, she will run through the police line. You
cannot stop her. She's going to grab her baby and
it's all gonna be okay. It cannot be true. Her
baby cannot be dead. And as she gets up there,
(04:27):
they stop her and they say, your baby's dead, and
then they put the cameras on her. And it's always
bothered me so much to imagine. I mean, I cannot
imagine the depth of pain she is feeling at that moment.
That is not to be shared, that is not to
(04:48):
be shared on that one shakes me to the core.
So this morning I was watching we do a morning
show from eight am to eleven am Central. It's only
a few stations Houston and then some South Texas and
in KFYO out of Lobbock, and they were showing the
(05:13):
hostages being released into the arms of their family members.
And there was a dad looked like me, about my age,
and his son looked like he'd be mid twenties. And
the dad grabs his son and he leans over his
shoulder as he's holding him, and the kids call that
(05:37):
an ugly cry. You know, that crime the girl has
when her boyfriend breaks up with her. And you know,
if you see a photo of the you know, the
kids will refer on social media to you know, this
was a picture of me ugly crying when my football
team lost or whatever. It is, the contortion of the
(05:57):
face into an unpleasant presentation. And the father. They caught
the father in an ugly cry, very ugly, painfully, terribly
ugly because it came from such a deep place. And
I thought to myself, as the kids say, that's an
(06:20):
ugly cry, that's one percent where I'd be if my kid,
after two years being held hostage, survived and was given
over to me. My oldest goes to the University of Texas,
which is three hours away from Houston, little lesson three hours,
and my youngest and I were flying up to Lubbock,
(06:42):
Texas to visit Texas Tech. He's a senior in high school,
so he's looking at where and we have a lot
of contacts there and a friend of ours, Gary Peterson,
who's a big, big, big donor and alumnus, very proud
of the school, and there's a lot of momentum going
at Texas Tech. So he wanted us to go up
with him on Saturday for the game and spend the
whole day, and then we came back Sunday. So Michael
(07:03):
T came in and said he would spend some time
with his mom, and so he drove in on Friday
to see us before we left Saturday morning, and I
haven't seen him in a month, and I gave him
a five minute hug, and you know, I mean, that's
it's very emotional to me. You know, your your kids.
I don't care what democrats think, I don't care what
(07:24):
the media things. I'm not going to say I'm not
going to worry about the Nobel Prize in my heart
of hearts where I live, in my place where I
sit right now. What Donald Trump just did. Wow, I mean,
just even tell me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him rich markle Berry, Prime Minister Benjamin yet
(07:47):
netting Yahoo talking about what Donald Trump accomplished. You know,
it's amazing to me that American media are so shocked
that Israel are dancing in the streets with Trump flags
and Trump signs, and you know, to Trump goes to
(08:07):
glory and stop and think about this for a moment.
This is a really, really profound thing we can learn
a lot from. To anyone shocked that Israelis are cheering
Donald Trump, it is a deep dive into their mindset.
You will learn a lot from this moment in their
(08:31):
mind You know, seventy five percent of American Jews vote
Democrat traditionally, and it's almost a cultural thing. Even a
non practicing, non religious Jew, it is almost part, almost
baked into the culture. We're a Jewish family, I mean,
we're a Democrat Jewish family, and it is almost considered
(08:55):
betraying your tribe to vote Republican. You know, the Republicans
are the evangelical Christians, and they don't like us. People
have been brainwashed, and Jews have been as brainwashed as
Blacks in this way and to their own harm. I mean,
how many Jews fled New York and the Democrats there
(09:15):
and Mamdani. There'll be no Jews left when Mamdani's there,
and the Democrat Party has grown increasingly anti Semitic. But
a lot of American Jews just can't admit you don't
have to meet your own just get on the right side.
But a lot of them can't do it. They just
(09:35):
can't do it. It's sort of like if you're a
lifelong Cowboys fan and you know you named your son
Staubach and your other son Emmit. You know, you don't
just all of a sudden start cheering for the Eagles.
It'd be weird. And that's how a lot of people are.
So for the American media to be and we'll place
some of this audio to be genuinely shocked that Trump
(10:00):
is being celebrated in Israel tells you something deep, and
that is that they don't care about public policy, what
actually happens, and they don't base their opinion of anyone
on that. That's why when when a CNN did destroy
this Weekend on how the Affordable Care Act Obamacare wasn't affordable,
(10:24):
Oh you can finally, you can finally admit that fifteen
years later, and it's as if but it doesn't matter
because well, he's Obama and we love Obama, and they think, well,
it doesn't matter because Trump is still Trump and we
don't like Trump. But a nation whose people were hostages,
you know, you think about when the Americans were held.
(10:48):
There have been other times, but when the Americans were
held the hostages were held in Iran, that more than
anything else cost Jimmy Carter the election and won the
election for Ron Reagan because they knew Reagan would bring
home the hostages. This is what Nahu said.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
The Hamas killers would be back on the border fence,
ready to repeat the horrors of October seventh again and
again as they vowed to do. But just at that point,
just at that point of maximum pressure on Israel, a
man named Donald J. Trump was elected President of the
(11:27):
United States, and ladies and gentlemen, overnight, overnight, everything changed everything.
(11:48):
We fellers right home, mister President. Thanks to your unequivocal
backing of Israel, we secured a second hostage deal within
we of your election, and in the months that followed,
we worked closely together to forge a path to bring
the remaining hostages home and end the war and the
(12:11):
war in a way that ensures the disarming of Ramas,
the demilitarization of Gaza, and that Gaza would never again
pose a threat to Israel. Two months ago, you fully
backed my decision to send the IDF into the last
Haramas stronghold in Gaza City. You shared my view that
this military pressure would help free the hostages. And despite
(12:34):
all the criticism, all the nasayers, we were right. Ramas
cave it in, and two weeks ago you succeeded in
doing something.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Miraculous.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You succeeded in doing something that no one believed was possible.
You brought most of the air Group, You brought most
of the world behind your proposal to free the hostages
and in the war.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
President Trump, in a speech that should be remembered for
decades to come.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
After two harrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous
hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families.
And it is glorious twenty eight more precious loved ones
are coming home at last to rest in this sacred
soil for all of time, and after so many years
(13:39):
of unceasing war and endlest danger. Today the skies are calm,
the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the
sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace,
a land and a region that will live God willing
in peace for all eternity.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
This is not only the end of a war.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is the end of the age of terror and
death and the beginning of the age of faith.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And hope and of God.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony
for Israel and all the nations of what will soon
be a truly magnificent region.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I believe that so strongly. This is the historic dawn
of a new Middle East that is important on so
many levels. It's important to the Israeli people. It's important
to the young Muslim kids in the area, who cannot
control to whom they were born, cannot control how their
(14:51):
minds have been polluted, but deserve as children of God.
And I do believe this deserve as children of God,
to live in peace with an opportunity to learn we
live in such a wonderful, beautiful world with science and
art and love, and to think that maybe, just maybe
(15:13):
some of those children will realize that.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I'm not sure what your question was, Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I lost the plot somewhere. You did. Charlie Kirk's assassination
on September tenth. By the way, President Trump will honor
him tomorrow, making good on the promise that he made.
But Charlie Kirk's assassination, Oh, before we do that, before
(15:44):
we do that. Oh, it's a special day. It is
Columbus Day. It is not Indigenous People's Day. It is
Columbus Day. And if you want to, if you want
to go live amongst the indigenous people who did not
bring progress to this part of the world, you're free
(16:08):
to do that if you can survive, and you certainly
won't have any comforts. We celebrate the incredible achievement of
discovering and then improving, yes improving, this part of the
world to make it the greatest part of the world
(16:32):
of all time. Of course, Christopher Columbus did not exactly
walk through Houston Texas, but his discovery was nevertheless an
important moment in the development of humanity and all that
has come with it. And President Trump getting us back
(16:56):
to we've been in unmoored ship, casting at sea as
a nation, grounding us again, putting our feet on stable ground.
Little things matter, like celebrating Columbus Day again.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
This is your favorite president, or as they called me,
Chief Golden Eagle, and I wanted to wish you a
very happy Columbus Day. I knew Christopher Columbus very well.
He was a great friend of mine. I called him Chris,
and he did a tremendous job. But the radical left wing,
crazy democrats want to call it Indigenous People's Day. And
(17:44):
I get along very well with the Indigenous people.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They love me. They called me Chief Golden Eagle.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
They say, Chief, what are we going to do about
these crazy radical left wing democrats like Lion Liz war
And I call it Pocahontas, Chief spitting Bull. She's a
horrible person at a loser, and the only woman who
has ever.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Failed a DNA test.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Nobody ever thought that was possible, but she failed a
DNA test.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What a disgrace. Jiggily Belly Pritzker.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I call him Chief eats too much, Chief broken scale.
Every scally steps on says ouch, you're hurting me, please
get off. He's a huge guy. He keeps stuffing his face.
He's a huge guy and a stupid guy. And Pesosto Obama, right,
you look at him in his sombrero, El jakima, Chief
(18:39):
tiny TP. He has a very small TP. I have
a huge TP. Everybody knows about it. He has a
tiny TP. You know what I'm talking about. And he
ought to be ashamed of himself, and he is ashamed
of himself, Chief tiny TP.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
El jakeimo.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
But we are sending out an executive order by a
smoke signal commemorating today as Columbus Day. We're making it
Columbus Day again, celebrating my tremendous friend Christopher Columbus and
all of his incredible achievements.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So happy Columbus Day.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
God bless you, God bless America, and thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That is Captain Deplorable doing a decent, passable Trump impersonation.
I just enjoy the writing, the comedy that he espousing.
The truth is, you know, most presidents are so uptight
but when you do comedy of Trump saying things, it's
(19:47):
only half as good as Trump himself saying things. It's
what he does. The newly named Nobel Peace Prize winner,
Maria Corina Chado is the Venezuelan opposition leader, and after
receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, she said, no, no, no,
(20:10):
this should have been given to Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
He decided to dedicate it to President Trump because he
deserves it, because not only has he been involved in
only a few months in solving eight wars, but his
actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at the
first hold of freedom after twenty six years of tyranny
(20:38):
that had destroyed the lives of millions of Venezuela, destabilized region,
and undermined the institutions in the United States. Because of
in Venezuela as a safe heaven of the enemies of
the United States and using our territory and all resources
(20:59):
to hurt the American people and American institutions is certainly
a threat to the national security of the United States
and the security of the hemisphere. The President Trump has
been very clear courageous in terms of this manking, this
criminal structure and on behalf of the Manazan people. I
(21:21):
reaffirmed our gratitude and our commitment to this cost for
the whole America. So I insist he deserves it.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
And we are very proud to be working at this
moment with all these alleys for this huge resolution.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
How embarrassed does the Nobel Peace Prize committee look that
they thought, we'll stick it to Trump. We'll give it
to this Latina woman. Yeah, we'll show him. And what
(22:02):
does he do? What does she do? She's been honored
by them, and she says this should go. I dedicate
this to Donald Trump. Here is President Trump talking about her,
calling him and telling him that she dedicated the price
to him.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today,
called me and said, I'm accepting this in honor of you,
because you really deserved it. A very nice thing to do.
I didn't say, then give it to me, though I
think she might have. She was very nice, and I've been,
(22:44):
you know, I've been helping her along the way. They
need a lot of help in Venezuela. It's a basic disaster.
So and you could also say it was given out
for twenty four and I was running for office in
twenty four You know all of the transaction that we
did in terms of closing. But there are those that
say we did so much that they should have done it.
(23:07):
But I don't take I'm happy because they saved millions
of lives. You know.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The Nobel Prize, the money for the prize was was
actually Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, and he suffered under
such guilt over that and the Nobel Prize. When I
(23:36):
was growing up, I would memorize the name. It was
such a big honor and there is no one who
has deserved it more than Donald Trump. That is actually
a fact. Ambition with the Michael Barry is young and
ambitions that I love women. Hey you came knock no
man for loving women. I genuinely hope Barack Obama ends
(24:00):
up in prison if in fact he committed crimes. I
genuinely hope that. I don't say that for shock value.
I understand how it looks for a president to end
up in prison. I believe that Richard Nixon should have
ended up in prison. When Gerald Ford pardoned him and
said our long national nightmare is over, I don't believe
(24:23):
that's true. I think he severely damaged the Republican brand terribly,
and I think that the country could not heal because
it proved that a president was beyond prison. Bob Haldeman
(24:48):
went to prison. His chief of staff, John Erlickman, his
top aid, went to prison. John Dene, the Attorney general,
went to prison. I wish he'd stayed there. I think
that Nixon committed some crimes as a result of being entrapped.
I do believe that. I think that the deep State
(25:10):
wanted to get him, and they did. But when he
did commit those crimes, he was also at fault. And
I think that when the American people, how can it
be that your top guys can go to prison. I
read to you last week the list of people who
went to prison during the four years of Biden, and
(25:34):
they did. Steve Bannon went to prison. I mean, this
is real. So Barack Obama posts on Twitter because he
has to inject himself into everything. After two years of
unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people
of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that
(25:54):
an end to the conflict is within sight, that those
hostages still being held will be reunited with their families,
and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza
whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it
now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of
the US and the entire world community, to begin the
hard task of rebuilding Gaza and to commit to a
(26:16):
process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights
of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace. Even CNN's
Abby Phillips called out Obama for not acknowledging the man
who both sides and by the way, the new Nobel
(26:37):
Peace Prize winner said, brought this piece to bear. Even
CNNs Abbie Phillips called him out.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
President Obama put out this post talking about the peace
deal and the prospects of it, and Don Junior responded
to it, I'll finish it for you. Thank you, Donald Trump. Honestly,
it's not unfair to say if President Obama's going to
write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he
should acknowledge the president that broke he it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Can you play that again? Who was getting cold? Hell
is freezing over what just happened.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
President Obama put out this post talking about the peace
deal and the prospects of it, and Don Junior responded
to it, I'll finish it for you. Thank you, Donald Trump. Honestly,
it's not unfair to say if President Obama's going to
write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he
should acknowledge the president that broke he it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Wow, that that's more than we ever get. Pennsylvania Democrat
Senator John Fetterman was on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo
when he called out others in his party for not
celebrating this historic peace deal.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Absolute elation. I mean, how can we all celebrate this thing?
I mean, you've had human beings held underground for over
two years and tortured and beaten and starved, forced to
dig their own graves and things. Now they can finally
come back home. And now everyone, everyone should be celebrating
(28:26):
these things. And clearly the Palestinians are, and people at
Israel are too, And now there are people in our nation.
You know some of those aren't rarely celebrating or even
acknowledging a thing. And that's part of the truth there too.
It really was never about peace. It was more about
an anti Israel agenda. And now why can't we all
(28:47):
whatever where you are politically, this is a huge development
and this terrible, awful war is going to come to
an end, and now you can rebuild Gaza and these
families are now united.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Like that's a big thing.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
And it's a strange just strange time. If you can't
celebrate this.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Yeah, and I saw your tweet, you know, congratulating President
Trump on this incredible.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Moment in time. It really is a head scratcher as
you see some people just refusing to acknowledge what an
incredible moment this is after this two years. I agree.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
It's like I even said that in that in my tweet.
It's like, yeah, our party's different, but this is a big,
huge win for peace in this world. And it's entirely
appropriate to do that. And if you're not willing to
acknowledge that, you're ironically pointing out the absurdity and making
it more personal when we can't all celebrate this peace
(29:49):
after this awful war after two years.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
And don't let it ruin your day. Don't let it
ruin your wonderful Columbus Day Peace Day. Hostage released, they
don't let it ruin it for you. But just know
that the devil never sleeps he's active. Peter Doocy asked
President Trump about former Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln's comments
that Trump followed Biden's plan for peace in the Middle East.
(30:16):
I mean you, at this point, they're just playing the heel.
At this point, they're just insulting for the sake of
getting clicks.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
B Lincoln says, it's good the President Trump adopted and
built on the plan that divine it administration develops.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Everybody knows that's a job, but they didn't do They
did such a bad job. This should never happened. This
wouldn't have even happened. That was weak leadership, terrible. Had
the same thing with Russia. Russia great. Yeah, if he
just a decent president, not a great president like the
not a great president. If a decent president was in
(30:59):
you wouldn't have had the rush Gray. And this is
I would say even more so. This was bad policy
by Biden and by Obama. Remember when bbcame and he
begged that you not do what they were doing with Iran,
You remember that, right begged him and they wouldn't even
listen to him. Everything they did was the opposite what
you should have done, and.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's nice that they try and take a little credit.
Speaker 10 (31:22):
That was years ago, and the mistakes were made years ago,
and it was both by Biden and Obama.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You know, when you put aside the politics of it all,
at the end of the day, safe streets in the
Middle East and safe streets in our own homes, lower taxes,
more opportunity, secured borders, and safe communities. If people actually
voted based on public policy, Democrats would never win again.
(31:56):
They would never win again. Our challenge as citizens is
to stop just complaining about the media and tell the
story ourselves, each one of us. So the person next
to us at Sunday school to the person that sits
next to us at the office, to do it, and
then to do it in a way that is convincing,
(32:19):
that is loving, that does not turn them off. Because
we're doing that. I told you so, danced to off
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie Show is.

This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.
This week cease fire.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
We've achieved the most challenging breakthrough of them all, the
most challenging breakthrough maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I've been involved in a lot of success, I have
never seen anything like what's going on today.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
All over the world, people are dancing in the streets.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Not just they're dancing in the streets of countries that
would have never danced in the street about what's happening today.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They're dancing in.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Those three The guy who once dwelled among his people
in the city still calls us, in the words of scripture,
the turn from evil and do.

Good, to seek peace and pursue it. We settled eight
wars in eight months. I'm now including this one. By
the way, if that's okay, They.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
May say, well that was quick, because yesterday I was
saying seven, but now I can say eight.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The hostages are back, The hostages are time. A student
of history, like many of you, I have memorized certain dates,
our Mistice Day, d Day, the tet offensive, July fourth,
(02:58):
nine eleven. Today is a truly historic day. The President
leading a peace conference for peace in Goza as twenty
(03:19):
living Israeli hostages, the last of the hostages alive were released,
and I got to tell you I saw a video.
I don't like when cameras, when TV stations show up
(03:40):
at a school shooting, and you'll see the mother or
father come running up, but invariably, but there'll be some
mother and she's running in her heels as she's coming
from work. She's running up towards the school. It's like
the wind is blowing at her face and she looks
almost disheveled because she is wrecked. She is wrecked, emotionally frantic,
(04:07):
and it's painful to watch. But in some crazy way,
she's certain that if she can just get up there
fast enough, she will run through the police line. You
cannot stop her. She's going to grab her baby and
it's all gonna be okay. It cannot be true. Her
baby cannot be dead. And as she gets up there,
(04:27):
they stop her and they say, your baby's dead, and
then they put the cameras on her. And it's always
bothered me so much to imagine. I mean, I cannot
imagine the depth of pain she is feeling at that moment.
That is not to be shared, that is not to
(04:48):
be shared on that one shakes me to the core.
So this morning I was watching we do a morning
show from eight am to eleven am Central. It's only
a few stations Houston and then some South Texas and
in KFYO out of Lobbock, and they were showing the
(05:13):
hostages being released into the arms of their family members.
And there was a dad looked like me, about my age,
and his son looked like he'd be mid twenties. And
the dad grabs his son and he leans over his
shoulder as he's holding him, and the kids call that
(05:37):
an ugly cry. You know, that crime the girl has
when her boyfriend breaks up with her. And you know,
if you see a photo of the you know, the
kids will refer on social media to you know, this
was a picture of me ugly crying when my football
team lost or whatever. It is, the contortion of the
(05:57):
face into an unpleasant presentation. And the father. They caught
the father in an ugly cry, very ugly, painfully, terribly
ugly because it came from such a deep place. And
I thought to myself, as the kids say, that's an
(06:20):
ugly cry, that's one percent where I'd be if my kid,
after two years being held hostage, survived and was given
over to me. My oldest goes to the University of Texas,
which is three hours away from Houston, little lesson three hours,
and my youngest and I were flying up to Lubbock,
(06:42):
Texas to visit Texas Tech. He's a senior in high school,
so he's looking at where and we have a lot
of contacts there and a friend of ours, Gary Peterson,
who's a big, big, big donor and alumnus, very proud
of the school, and there's a lot of momentum going
at Texas Tech. So he wanted us to go up
with him on Saturday for the game and spend the
whole day, and then we came back Sunday. So Michael
(07:03):
T came in and said he would spend some time
with his mom, and so he drove in on Friday
to see us before we left Saturday morning, and I
haven't seen him in a month, and I gave him
a five minute hug, and you know, I mean, that's
it's very emotional to me. You know, your your kids.
I don't care what democrats think, I don't care what
(07:24):
the media things. I'm not going to say I'm not
going to worry about the Nobel Prize in my heart
of hearts where I live, in my place where I
sit right now. What Donald Trump just did. Wow, I mean,
just even tell me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him rich markle Berry, Prime Minister Benjamin yet
(07:47):
netting Yahoo talking about what Donald Trump accomplished. You know,
it's amazing to me that American media are so shocked
that Israel are dancing in the streets with Trump flags
and Trump signs, and you know, to Trump goes to
(08:07):
glory and stop and think about this for a moment.
This is a really, really profound thing we can learn
a lot from. To anyone shocked that Israelis are cheering
Donald Trump, it is a deep dive into their mindset.
You will learn a lot from this moment in their
(08:31):
mind You know, seventy five percent of American Jews vote
Democrat traditionally, and it's almost a cultural thing. Even a
non practicing, non religious Jew, it is almost part, almost
baked into the culture. We're a Jewish family, I mean,
we're a Democrat Jewish family, and it is almost considered
(08:55):
betraying your tribe to vote Republican. You know, the Republicans
are the evangelical Christians, and they don't like us. People
have been brainwashed, and Jews have been as brainwashed as
Blacks in this way and to their own harm. I mean,
how many Jews fled New York and the Democrats there
(09:15):
and Mamdani. There'll be no Jews left when Mamdani's there,
and the Democrat Party has grown increasingly anti Semitic. But
a lot of American Jews just can't admit you don't
have to meet your own just get on the right side.
But a lot of them can't do it. They just
(09:35):
can't do it. It's sort of like if you're a
lifelong Cowboys fan and you know you named your son
Staubach and your other son Emmit. You know, you don't
just all of a sudden start cheering for the Eagles.
It'd be weird. And that's how a lot of people are.
So for the American media to be and we'll place
some of this audio to be genuinely shocked that Trump
(10:00):
is being celebrated in Israel tells you something deep, and
that is that they don't care about public policy, what
actually happens, and they don't base their opinion of anyone
on that. That's why when when a CNN did destroy
this Weekend on how the Affordable Care Act Obamacare wasn't affordable,
(10:24):
Oh you can finally, you can finally admit that fifteen
years later, and it's as if but it doesn't matter
because well, he's Obama and we love Obama, and they think, well,
it doesn't matter because Trump is still Trump and we
don't like Trump. But a nation whose people were hostages,
you know, you think about when the Americans were held.
(10:48):
There have been other times, but when the Americans were
held the hostages were held in Iran, that more than
anything else cost Jimmy Carter the election and won the
election for Ron Reagan because they knew Reagan would bring
home the hostages. This is what Nahu said.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
The Hamas killers would be back on the border fence,
ready to repeat the horrors of October seventh again and
again as they vowed to do. But just at that point,
just at that point of maximum pressure on Israel, a
man named Donald J. Trump was elected President of the
(11:27):
United States, and ladies and gentlemen, overnight, overnight, everything changed everything.
(11:48):
We fellers right home, mister President. Thanks to your unequivocal
backing of Israel, we secured a second hostage deal within
we of your election, and in the months that followed,
we worked closely together to forge a path to bring
the remaining hostages home and end the war and the
(12:11):
war in a way that ensures the disarming of Ramas,
the demilitarization of Gaza, and that Gaza would never again
pose a threat to Israel. Two months ago, you fully
backed my decision to send the IDF into the last
Haramas stronghold in Gaza City. You shared my view that
this military pressure would help free the hostages. And despite
(12:34):
all the criticism, all the nasayers, we were right. Ramas
cave it in, and two weeks ago you succeeded in
doing something.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Miraculous.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You succeeded in doing something that no one believed was possible.
You brought most of the air Group, You brought most
of the world behind your proposal to free the hostages
and in the war.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
President Trump, in a speech that should be remembered for
decades to come.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
After two harrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous
hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families.
And it is glorious twenty eight more precious loved ones
are coming home at last to rest in this sacred
soil for all of time, and after so many years
(13:39):
of unceasing war and endlest danger. Today the skies are calm,
the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the
sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace,
a land and a region that will live God willing
in peace for all eternity.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
This is not only the end of a war.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is the end of the age of terror and
death and the beginning of the age of faith.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And hope and of God.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony
for Israel and all the nations of what will soon
be a truly magnificent region.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I believe that so strongly. This is the historic dawn
of a new Middle East that is important on so
many levels. It's important to the Israeli people. It's important
to the young Muslim kids in the area, who cannot
control to whom they were born, cannot control how their
(14:51):
minds have been polluted, but deserve as children of God.
And I do believe this deserve as children of God,
to live in peace with an opportunity to learn we
live in such a wonderful, beautiful world with science and
art and love, and to think that maybe, just maybe
(15:13):
some of those children will realize that.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I'm not sure what your question was, Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I lost the plot somewhere. You did. Charlie Kirk's assassination
on September tenth. By the way, President Trump will honor
him tomorrow, making good on the promise that he made.
But Charlie Kirk's assassination, Oh, before we do that, before
(15:44):
we do that. Oh, it's a special day. It is
Columbus Day. It is not Indigenous People's Day. It is
Columbus Day. And if you want to, if you want
to go live amongst the indigenous people who did not
bring progress to this part of the world, you're free
(16:08):
to do that if you can survive, and you certainly
won't have any comforts. We celebrate the incredible achievement of
discovering and then improving, yes improving, this part of the
world to make it the greatest part of the world
(16:32):
of all time. Of course, Christopher Columbus did not exactly
walk through Houston Texas, but his discovery was nevertheless an
important moment in the development of humanity and all that
has come with it. And President Trump getting us back
(16:56):
to we've been in unmoored ship, casting at sea as
a nation, grounding us again, putting our feet on stable ground.
Little things matter, like celebrating Columbus Day again.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
This is your favorite president, or as they called me,
Chief Golden Eagle, and I wanted to wish you a
very happy Columbus Day. I knew Christopher Columbus very well.
He was a great friend of mine. I called him Chris,
and he did a tremendous job. But the radical left wing,
crazy democrats want to call it Indigenous People's Day. And
(17:44):
I get along very well with the Indigenous people.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They love me. They called me Chief Golden Eagle.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
They say, Chief, what are we going to do about
these crazy radical left wing democrats like Lion Liz war
And I call it Pocahontas, Chief spitting Bull. She's a
horrible person at a loser, and the only woman who
has ever.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Failed a DNA test.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Nobody ever thought that was possible, but she failed a
DNA test.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What a disgrace. Jiggily Belly Pritzker.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I call him Chief eats too much, Chief broken scale.
Every scally steps on says ouch, you're hurting me, please
get off. He's a huge guy. He keeps stuffing his face.
He's a huge guy and a stupid guy. And Pesosto Obama, right,
you look at him in his sombrero, El jakima, Chief
(18:39):
tiny TP. He has a very small TP. I have
a huge TP. Everybody knows about it. He has a
tiny TP. You know what I'm talking about. And he
ought to be ashamed of himself, and he is ashamed
of himself, Chief tiny TP.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
El jakeimo.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
But we are sending out an executive order by a
smoke signal commemorating today as Columbus Day. We're making it
Columbus Day again, celebrating my tremendous friend Christopher Columbus and
all of his incredible achievements.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So happy Columbus Day.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
God bless you, God bless America, and thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That is Captain Deplorable doing a decent, passable Trump impersonation.
I just enjoy the writing, the comedy that he espousing.
The truth is, you know, most presidents are so uptight
but when you do comedy of Trump saying things, it's
(19:47):
only half as good as Trump himself saying things. It's
what he does. The newly named Nobel Peace Prize winner,
Maria Corina Chado is the Venezuelan opposition leader, and after
receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, she said, no, no, no,
(20:10):
this should have been given to Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
He decided to dedicate it to President Trump because he
deserves it, because not only has he been involved in
only a few months in solving eight wars, but his
actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at the
first hold of freedom after twenty six years of tyranny
(20:38):
that had destroyed the lives of millions of Venezuela, destabilized region,
and undermined the institutions in the United States. Because of
in Venezuela as a safe heaven of the enemies of
the United States and using our territory and all resources
(20:59):
to hurt the American people and American institutions is certainly
a threat to the national security of the United States
and the security of the hemisphere. The President Trump has
been very clear courageous in terms of this manking, this
criminal structure and on behalf of the Manazan people. I
(21:21):
reaffirmed our gratitude and our commitment to this cost for
the whole America. So I insist he deserves it.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
And we are very proud to be working at this
moment with all these alleys for this huge resolution.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
How embarrassed does the Nobel Peace Prize committee look that
they thought, we'll stick it to Trump. We'll give it
to this Latina woman. Yeah, we'll show him. And what
(22:02):
does he do? What does she do? She's been honored
by them, and she says this should go. I dedicate
this to Donald Trump. Here is President Trump talking about her,
calling him and telling him that she dedicated the price
to him.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today,
called me and said, I'm accepting this in honor of you,
because you really deserved it. A very nice thing to do.
I didn't say, then give it to me, though I
think she might have. She was very nice, and I've been,
(22:44):
you know, I've been helping her along the way. They
need a lot of help in Venezuela. It's a basic disaster.
So and you could also say it was given out
for twenty four and I was running for office in
twenty four You know all of the transaction that we
did in terms of closing. But there are those that
say we did so much that they should have done it.
(23:07):
But I don't take I'm happy because they saved millions
of lives. You know.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
The Nobel Prize, the money for the prize was was
actually Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, and he suffered under
such guilt over that and the Nobel Prize. When I
(23:36):
was growing up, I would memorize the name. It was
such a big honor and there is no one who
has deserved it more than Donald Trump. That is actually
a fact. Ambition with the Michael Barry is young and
ambitions that I love women. Hey you came knock no
man for loving women. I genuinely hope Barack Obama ends
(24:00):
up in prison if in fact he committed crimes. I
genuinely hope that. I don't say that for shock value.
I understand how it looks for a president to end
up in prison. I believe that Richard Nixon should have
ended up in prison. When Gerald Ford pardoned him and
said our long national nightmare is over, I don't believe
(24:23):
that's true. I think he severely damaged the Republican brand terribly,
and I think that the country could not heal because
it proved that a president was beyond prison. Bob Haldeman
(24:48):
went to prison. His chief of staff, John Erlickman, his
top aid, went to prison. John Dene, the Attorney general,
went to prison. I wish he'd stayed there. I think
that Nixon committed some crimes as a result of being entrapped.
I do believe that. I think that the deep State
(25:10):
wanted to get him, and they did. But when he
did commit those crimes, he was also at fault. And
I think that when the American people, how can it
be that your top guys can go to prison. I
read to you last week the list of people who
went to prison during the four years of Biden, and
(25:34):
they did. Steve Bannon went to prison. I mean, this
is real. So Barack Obama posts on Twitter because he
has to inject himself into everything. After two years of
unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people
of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that
(25:54):
an end to the conflict is within sight, that those
hostages still being held will be reunited with their families,
and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza
whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it
now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of
the US and the entire world community, to begin the
hard task of rebuilding Gaza and to commit to a
(26:16):
process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights
of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace. Even CNN's
Abby Phillips called out Obama for not acknowledging the man
who both sides and by the way, the new Nobel
(26:37):
Peace Prize winner said, brought this piece to bear. Even
CNNs Abbie Phillips called him out.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
President Obama put out this post talking about the peace
deal and the prospects of it, and Don Junior responded
to it, I'll finish it for you. Thank you, Donald Trump. Honestly,
it's not unfair to say if President Obama's going to
write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he
should acknowledge the president that broke he it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Can you play that again? Who was getting cold? Hell
is freezing over what just happened.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
President Obama put out this post talking about the peace
deal and the prospects of it, and Don Junior responded
to it, I'll finish it for you. Thank you, Donald Trump. Honestly,
it's not unfair to say if President Obama's going to
write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he
should acknowledge the president that broke he it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Wow, that that's more than we ever get. Pennsylvania Democrat
Senator John Fetterman was on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo
when he called out others in his party for not
celebrating this historic peace deal.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Absolute elation. I mean, how can we all celebrate this thing?
I mean, you've had human beings held underground for over
two years and tortured and beaten and starved, forced to
dig their own graves and things. Now they can finally
come back home. And now everyone, everyone should be celebrating
(28:26):
these things. And clearly the Palestinians are, and people at
Israel are too, And now there are people in our nation.
You know some of those aren't rarely celebrating or even
acknowledging a thing. And that's part of the truth there too.
It really was never about peace. It was more about
an anti Israel agenda. And now why can't we all
(28:47):
whatever where you are politically, this is a huge development
and this terrible, awful war is going to come to
an end, and now you can rebuild Gaza and these
families are now united.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Like that's a big thing.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
And it's a strange just strange time. If you can't
celebrate this.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Yeah, and I saw your tweet, you know, congratulating President
Trump on this incredible.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Moment in time. It really is a head scratcher as
you see some people just refusing to acknowledge what an
incredible moment this is after this two years. I agree.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
It's like I even said that in that in my tweet.
It's like, yeah, our party's different, but this is a big,
huge win for peace in this world. And it's entirely
appropriate to do that. And if you're not willing to
acknowledge that, you're ironically pointing out the absurdity and making
it more personal when we can't all celebrate this peace
(29:49):
after this awful war after two years.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
And don't let it ruin your day. Don't let it
ruin your wonderful Columbus Day Peace Day. Hostage released, they
don't let it ruin it for you. But just know
that the devil never sleeps he's active. Peter Doocy asked
President Trump about former Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln's comments
that Trump followed Biden's plan for peace in the Middle East.
(30:16):
I mean you, at this point, they're just playing the heel.
At this point, they're just insulting for the sake of
getting clicks.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
B Lincoln says, it's good the President Trump adopted and
built on the plan that divine it administration develops.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Everybody knows that's a job, but they didn't do They
did such a bad job. This should never happened. This
wouldn't have even happened. That was weak leadership, terrible. Had
the same thing with Russia. Russia great. Yeah, if he
just a decent president, not a great president like the
not a great president. If a decent president was in
(30:59):
you wouldn't have had the rush Gray. And this is
I would say even more so. This was bad policy
by Biden and by Obama. Remember when bbcame and he
begged that you not do what they were doing with Iran,
You remember that, right begged him and they wouldn't even
listen to him. Everything they did was the opposite what
you should have done, and.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's nice that they try and take a little credit.
Speaker 10 (31:22):
That was years ago, and the mistakes were made years ago,
and it was both by Biden and Obama.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You know, when you put aside the politics of it all,
at the end of the day, safe streets in the
Middle East and safe streets in our own homes, lower taxes,
more opportunity, secured borders, and safe communities. If people actually
voted based on public policy, Democrats would never win again.
(31:56):
They would never win again. Our challenge as citizens is
to stop just complaining about the media and tell the
story ourselves, each one of us. So the person next
to us at Sunday school to the person that sits
next to us at the office, to do it, and
then to do it in a way that is convincing,
(32:19):
that is loving, that does not turn them off. Because
we're doing that. I told you so, danced to off
