Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What happened? Something must have happened.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
It's not you, it's me.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
You're giving me the it's not you, it's me routine
I invented.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's not you, it's Smith.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Nobody tells me it's them, not me. If it's anybody,
it's me.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
George, it's you.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You're a damn right, it's Meith.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Let's start with the new polling that shows the Democratic
Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The
latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of
registered voters fifty five percent have a negative view of
the party, while percent just over a quarter of registered
voters have a positive view of the party. That's the

(01:08):
party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating back to
nineteen ninety. Meanwhile, though he Knews ANSSRS poll finds the
Democratic Party's favorability rating at just twenty nine percent, a
record low going back to nineteen ninety two and a
drop of twenty points since January of twenty twenty one.

(01:30):
What's more, just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democratic
leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party,
down nine points from January and eighteen points from the
start of the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Good, lady, you know good.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
We want the Democrats to collapse, and exactly the moment
voters are going into vote. Does us less good today
than it will next November for them to fall apart.
The challenge for US is going to be now that
we've got them down. It's really an unforced err on
their part, to be honest with you, mostly to keep

(02:28):
them down, to keep our boot on their neck figuratively,
to keep their brand in disrepair. Want to talk about
that today. But first President Trump with a very important
call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. This was the
press release that came shortly after, which was at about

(02:50):
twelve thirty Central today, came this missive. Today President Trump
and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and
a ceasefire in the Ukraine War. Both leaders have read
this conflict needs to end with a lasting piece. They
also stress the need or improved bilateral relations between the
United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both

(03:12):
Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would
be better spent on the needs of their people. This
conflict should never have started and should have been ended
long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The
leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with
an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations
on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea,

(03:36):
full ceasefire, and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately.
In the Middle East, the leaders spoke broadly about the
Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent
future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation
of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure

(03:57):
the broadest possible application that's Iran. The two leaders shared
the view that Iran should never be in a position
to destroy Israel. The two leaders agree that a future
with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and
Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and

(04:18):
geopolitical stability. When peace has been achieved, the left will
call this Russia collusion, They'll call Trump Putin's puppet, they
will call this everything. But what it is this is

(04:38):
diplomacy done right. This is that word that is all
too often given and very rarely accurate. This is statesmanship,
This is the stuff of legend. This is how great
empires are built. This is how peace is established and maintain.

(05:01):
This is how you end wars. This is how humanity
sees great improvement in transportation, literature, cuisine, fashion, commerce, health, science, astronomy.
This right here, Joe Biden was incapable of doing. He

(05:26):
was not only not capable of doing it. It was
not desired for the people who were running the country,
because we know that wasn't Joe Biden. For this to happen.
You always have to remember you don't have street crime
of prostitution and drug selling in the neighborhood for no
good reason. It's there because somebody is making a living

(05:48):
at it. Somebody might even be getting rich off of it.
You don't have fentanyl deaths on accident. You don't have
fentanyl in the possession of children on accident there's money
to be made. You don't have sex trafficking because that's
the state of nature. Someone had to create that. Once

(06:10):
you begin to understand that some people are profiting by
the war in Ukraine, and some of those people are Americans,
some of those people are calling for more money, or
having the people they control call for more money so
that Ukraine can protect themselves against that big bully of Russia.

(06:32):
But as Vladimir Zelensky has said, he's not getting most
of the money we supposedly send to him, and no
one is answering the question who is, because somebody is.
It's not falling out on the way to the bank.
It's not being held with a fishing line outside the
stadium and as somebody reaches down to grab it, they
pull it back and make a TikTok video out of it.

(06:56):
It's being stolen by the people who are controlled the
war and confiscating this wealth for themselves. What President Trump
did today is pure. It's we're not there yet, but
it is pure beautiful statesmanship. This is the Michael Berry Show.

(07:21):
The themes we've been discussing of late is the absolute
collapse of the Democrats. CNN did a poll that in
CNN's existence Democrats, the Democrat brand has never been at
a lower mark. People get it. This is bad. NBC
did a poll the Democrat brand hadn't been this bad

(07:43):
for thirty years. We're talking about the Democrat brand is
worse than when America knew for certain that Bill Clinton
lied when he said I did not have sex with
that woman. He did. He was bonking the turn in
the White House. Well maybe not bonking, but he was

(08:05):
putting his stick where he shouldn't and then smoking it later.
I mean, it was it was all bad. It was
all bad, and that was bad for the Democrat brand.
It's worse today, and I got to tell you I
love it. I want it to continue. I do not
want the voices of reasonableness to emerge. I want the

(08:28):
crazy ones, the Jasmine Crockett, the AOC, the ilhan Omar,
the Sister Bride, the Ayana Presley's I'm here for it.
I want their craziest people to stay on the microphone.
I want the grown man with a beard and purple
wig and fake boobs in his tutu to be demanding

(08:49):
that these crazy Republicans be replaced. I mean, I want
more of it, because that's how we win. So here
is Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy on Meet the Press when
he was asked why Democrats are polling so poorly.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Our new NBC News poll, as you just saw, shows
the Democratic Party at an all time low approval rating.
Why do you think Democrats are failing to connect with
Americans that this critical moment of urgency would you describe, Well,
it's what I just talked about.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
I mean, I think Americans want the Democratic Party to
stand up and fight and to take risks. Listen, I
understand that had we gone into a shutdown, even for
a handful of days, it would have been difficult, but
it would have sent a message that the Democratic Party
is not going to be bullied by Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
We are not going to.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Let them write spending bills unilaterally that cut programs for
people we care about, that give the president new and
extraordinary power.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think Democrats in.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
This country, but I think the broad middle of the
public as well, want to see our party fighting in
exceptional ways. That is the conversation that has to happen
inside of the Democratic Party, inside our caucus.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
And if we don't get that right, if we.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Continue to work with Republicans, if we continue to hand
Donald Trump more power, we are going to lose our democracy.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
When we're back to losing the democracy again, I forget
these silly little phrases they use. Well, that's not the
reason you're pulling so poorly. But let's keep going. Chris
Matthews was driven out of MSNBC for sexual harassment and drunkenness.
I don't know that he stopped harassing women nor being
drunk because he always sounds slow, slowly. He always sounds

(10:34):
like a slightly less flamboyant Barney Frank to me, I
just keep thinking at one point, he's just gonna rip
one like Barney Frank did on television. Fairness Fairness to
Barney Frank, he probably didn't know he farted, may not
have any sphincter control. But here's Chris Matthews. He's been
brought back. Things are so bad for the Democrats they've
had to overlook his sexual harassment and bring him back.

(10:56):
I mean, this is this is really good. Why are
Democrats so poorly? Are you ready for this?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Give this a listen, Chris Matthews, what do you make
of these numbers for the Democrats?

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Well, you could have seen them the night did Trump
address the Congress, and you watched the Democratic Party. They
seemed like they weren't there. They were sort of vacant.
They weren't saying anything with their manner. They never questioned
the facts. They let the President lie about social Security
and say that we're giving benefits to people who are
one hundred and sixty years older to their grandchildren. We

(11:29):
allowed Elon Musk to go on television and tell everybody
that we're using social Security as a lure to bring
people into the country illegally. They were giving them benefits
which were not we're giving them to illegal people in
the country who come in illegally, we give it to them.
Lie after life to life and said nothing. I'll tell
you Carvell, James Carver who said the Democrats should stay

(11:50):
solid maybe partially right, but where he's wrong is you
have to have a fact checker. There needs to be
a war room. Remember in nineteen ninety two, remember how
Bill Clinton won that a licure because he had a
war room he enjoyed Stephen office were down there in
Little Rock and they were checking every fact.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
And nobody checks the facts anymore, and.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
The lies are getting through to the American people.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's an interesting reference. Nineteen ninety two, Bill Clinton won,
and Bill Clinton won, according to Chris Matthews, because he
did fact checking. Fact Checking is such an interesting word.
It's a euphemism because what really happened was that Bill
Clinton's mistresses started coming forward, and so Hillary assembled a

(12:36):
hit team headed by her and D D. Myers. D D.
Myers would later refer to it as having to squelch
to silence the as she called them, bimbo eruptions.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
D D.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Myers was the woman whose job it was to destroy
the women who came forward and said that they had
had sex not one time, but for years with Bill Clinton.
He had side girlfriends for years at a time. So
the job was Bydidie Myers and Hillary Clinton at Hillary's direction,

(13:20):
not to fact check. It was to destroy, to humiliate,
to demean, to cancel. So understand that when Chris Myers
Chris Matthews says we've got to get back to facts checking,
what he means by that is, we've got to get

(13:43):
our members in the media, our Democrat media, to start
saying everything Trump says is a lie and to start
attacking Trump constantly inciting violence against Elon and the President.
They already got the man shot in the head once
and there have been multiple attempts on his life. Did

(14:05):
you ever notice there was never an attempt on Joe
Biden's life. I wonder why that is. It's almost as
if it all comes from one side, it's almost as
if it's being called for, it's being asked for, it's
being ordered, it's being directed and coordinated. Because it is.
Let me close with this point the reason Democrats are losing.

(14:31):
Here's an example. Judge Susan Crawford. She's a Soorrows back
candidate for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. She was asked
about the endorsement of Sorrows and she can't answer the question.
Listen to you.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
You know I have had generous contributions that have gone
to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has endorsed me and supported
my candidacy.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
But let's talk about Elon Musk. Michael Very Show yesterday
we spoke at length about tariffs and what they are,
how they were, how the rest of the country applies
them to us to prevent our products from getting into
their country, hurting our manufacturing while we bring their products

(15:16):
into ours. The United States is or has been self
sufficient for much of its history. We make everything here,
so we could close our marketplace to the rest of
the world and by only American products, now, that would

(15:36):
create an inflationary effect. There's no doubt cost more to
make products here than it does the rest of the world,
because we require that you pay more, that we have lawsuits.
There are a lot of reasons it would cost more.
It would cost you, the consumer more, but it would
necessarily increase American business. There's no doubt about that. Now. Now,

(15:57):
if we did that, a lot of tries cannot sustain
their needs without America's output. But they punish us, They
punish our companies and reduce our profitability in their country
by imposing these tariffs. So all Trump is saying is

(16:18):
reciprocal terifts. That what you do to us, We're going
to do to you. Why is that unfair? Well, of
course it's not. Marco Rubio, I played you a lot
of this interview yesterday. Secretary of State was on NBC's
Meet the Pressed with Christian Welker this past weekend, and
he makes a very interesting point the situation today. The

(16:41):
rest of the world loves it, Trump doesn't love it.
Most Americans didn't know to be angry, didn't know what
the rest of the world was doing to us. But
now Trump is fighting for people, some of whom are recognizing.
Wait a second, why are we getting pushed around?

Speaker 2 (16:58):
I get it.

Speaker 9 (16:58):
I understand why these countries don't like it, because the
status quo of trade is good for them, it benefits them.
They like the status quo. We don't like the status quo.
We are going to set a new status quo and
then we can negotiate something if they want to that
is fair for both sides. But what we have now
cannot continue. We have to deindustrialize this country, de industrialize
the United States of America. There are things we can

(17:19):
no longer make, and we have to be able to
make in order to be safe as a country, in
order to have jobs.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's why we had a roust belt.

Speaker 9 (17:25):
That's why we've suffered all these important jobs that one
sustained entire communities wiped out by trade.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
That basically sent these factories, these.

Speaker 9 (17:33):
Jobs, this industrial capability to other places that cannot and
will not continue.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't in President Trump. This is no mystery.

Speaker 9 (17:39):
He's been talking about this since the nineteen eighties, actually even.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Before he was a political figure.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
This is going to happen, and it's going to happen now.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Secretary of Treasury Scott Vessant also on MSNBC's Meet Depressed
with Christen Welker.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Ask you about something that you actually said last week,
and we'll discuss it on the other side.

Speaker 7 (17:55):
Take a look, access to chief goods is not the asset,
is not the essence of the American dream. The American
dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can
achieve prosperity, upper mobility, and economic security.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
So, Secretary, are you there essentially saying that the Trump
administration is comfortable to have consumers pay more for goods
than America.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Not at all, Christen.

Speaker 10 (18:18):
What I'm saying is the American dream is not let
any flat screens that the Americans. If American families aren't
able to afford a home, don't believe that their children
will do better than they are. The American dream is
not contingent on cheap babbles from China. That it is
more than that, and we are focused on affordability. But

(18:38):
it's mortgages, it's cars, it's real wage cannings.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
And I'm going to tell you there is going to
be some inflation. But this is not inflation because we're
pumping too much money into the economy. This is inflation
related to an increasing cost of goods coming from outside
the United States. This is a re building year. This
is a short term pain for a long term gain,

(19:05):
and no one wants to admit that. But if you
want to lose weight, I guess you go take a
shot now. But if you want to lose weight, you're
gonna have to work out. If you want to be okay,
if you want to build muscle, you're gonna have to
work out. And in the short term that lactic acid
is going to cause your muscles to ache. But in
the long term, you're going to build muscle, which is
good for you. You're going to do something that's good

(19:28):
for you in the long term. That's not what we
were experiencing under the Democrat regime. So here's Scott Bessent
talking to Kristen Welkoer in that same interview about Chinese
manufacturers having to suffer the way ours.

Speaker 10 (19:41):
Have because I believe, especially with the China terriffs, that
Chinese manufacturers they will eat, that will eat the price
or eat the terrorists. I believe that the currency adjust
and I believe if we look there.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
During President Trump's first term, that all.

Speaker 10 (20:01):
The other things we do, if we're deregulating, if we're
getting energy prices down, then if we look across the spectrum,
Americans will realize lower prices and better affordability.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Also, Secretary Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besson asked about
a dip in the stock market again on NBC's Meet
the Press with Christen Wilker.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
One week does not the market make, as Warren Buffett says,
O where the short term the market is a voting machine,
or the long term it's a weighing machine. And again, Christen,
it would have been very easy for us to come
in run these reckless policies that have been happening before.
We've got these large government deficits six point seven percent
of GDP. We've never seen this when we're not in wartime,

(20:47):
not in more session. We are bringing those down in
a responsible way. We are going to have a transition
and we are not going to have a crisis.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
So look, you don't make massive changes without some short
term pain. I mean, even change itself is painful and stressful.
Here is Scott Bessen. I think he has had to
learn a lot talking about the term fake news, and
he thought that was kind of a dumb.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
Term, but now he doesn't. When I was on the
other side of the Wall. I never really liked the
term fake news. Now that I am on the inside
and I can see what they're reporting, I think the
term fake news probably isn't strong enough. It's really not
that they start with an a priori. They've written the
story and then they just kind of shapeshift facts to

(21:38):
back into it. Because many of the stories that I've
been involved with are just so far off, so far all.
There's a story in the New York Times the other
day they talked about fifty percent head count decreases at
the IRS. Nobody's talking about that. These were on background,
these were not named sources, and they're just trying to

(21:59):
start cult mold during taxpayer filing season. I mean, it's crazy,
you know.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
It's one of those things. It's interesting, you don't people
that don't want to believe that illegal immigration is a problem,
people that have argued with me, you know, legal immigration
is not a problem. Then they become a victim of
crime by an illegal alien, and I'm the one they
want to call about. You were right, you were so
it's not until you personally were affected that you saw

(22:28):
it as a problem. There's the problem in America. You
had to be personally affected. It wasn't enough that everybody
but you was affected. It wasn't until it hit you
that you were willing to come off your high horse.
That's the problem. That right you the problem. You needed
your ox gord until you and until then you were

(22:49):
going to say no, no, no. All these murders and
rapists and traffickers coming in here, there's no problem with it. Guitars, cigars,
and a few thoughts. On Sunday, the President Trump, I'm
leieve it with Sunday, was on full measure with Cheryl Atkinson.

(23:10):
We played you some of that audio yesterday. But she
asked about the release of the Kennedy files, the MLK
Junior files, the Epstein files, and there is a howling
cry for these damned files to be released. And I

(23:30):
do believe President Trump is going to release them. I
don't know that he's going to release them as soon
as everyone wants him to. And we'll talk about that
in a moment, but let me not speak for him.
Here's what he said.

Speaker 8 (23:43):
A lot of intrigues surrounding the release of the Epstein files,
Martin Luther King files, John F. Kennedy files, some current
and former FBI agents are saying, some of them telling
me that they feel the FBI establishment came out ahead
in the standoffs sort of with the New York FBI
office over releasing the records and your Attorney General Pam

(24:04):
Bondi demanding them and not getting all that she wanted.
Is that process still on track? I think that's one
of the most often questions. I've been asked the last
couple of days to release these records on Epstein, MLK,
and JK.

Speaker 11 (24:16):
Well, Pam Bondi has done a phenomenal job in every respect,
and there could have been some holback. I haven't heard
too much about it, but they could. But the bottom
line is the records are getting out. The Kennedy records
are getting out. Those are the ones that really wanted
to see the most with the Kennedys, and during my administration,
as you know, I released a lot of them. But

(24:36):
then a lot of people started coming in, people that
I respected, people that work for the administration, asked me
not to release the rest, and.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I respected that.

Speaker 11 (24:46):
They gave me certain reasons, but I respected that and
I did say, I must tell you, I said that
probably wish I did release the whole.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Thing, because I have no idea what's in there.

Speaker 11 (24:57):
But since then they found and we found two thousand
more documents when Kennedy, and the one they want most
is Kennedy, and it's going to be released. It's moving along,
and it's moving along pretty rapidly.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
It doesn't we go that week or longer.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
I say weeks, Yeah, I say weeks. So I think
President Trump, with all his heart, wants these things released
for two reasons. He said he would make it happen,
and I do believe he cares about that. I think

(25:38):
that really matters to him. But I also think it's
part of a bigger plan with him to show you.
I think I'm certain that Donald Trump knows things that
he doesn't even want to tell you, because it would

(25:58):
frighten you so much that many people wouldn't be able
to handle it. He has to moderate what he reveals.
It's that bad, you know. It's one of these great dilemmas.
And it's an interesting point of conversation to discuss cases

(26:22):
that I've known of where somebody has a terminal cancer
and they don't tell anyone. Norm MacDonald, for instance, who
was not a friend of mine. I wish he was.
I love Norm MacDonald. I'm a super fan of Norm MacDonald,
and he didn't alert the world. In fact, almost nobody
knew that he had a terminal cancer, such that when

(26:45):
he passed, even close friends of his believed, oh, it
must have been a heart attack, or it must have
been something that happened you know quickly. No. No, he
had been suffering with a terminal cancer for quite some time,
and his lady friend he was under strict instruction not

(27:05):
to tell us all. He didn't. He didn't want it
to affect people's opinion of him and didn't want to
have to deal with that. I think President Trump wants
these things out there, and I think he's committed to
getting them out there. But I also think, well, you

(27:26):
only get to review these things one time. So Trump
is the kind of guy that if he's got something
on you, he's going to use that to get you
to vote with him.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't know this part for sure, but did you
notice how quickly an effort, effortlessly the Continuing Resolution was
passed last week. The Republicans didn't kick up any dust.
Everybody just dutifully went along. Now he's sitting on better
approval ratings than usual This is quite quite surprising. And

(28:04):
then Chuck Schumer did not put up any resistance, And
isn't that interesting?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Hmm?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Why do you think that is? Because he wants good government?
Because Trump deserves, not even two months in to have
until September a funding bill through September and then we
can battle it out. But let him get his feet
under him. Let's not disrupt everything. No, that's not how
Chuck Schumer thinks, not even a little bit. Chuck Schumer

(28:37):
does not. Those are thoughts he does not entertain, not
even a little bit, I think, And as we've discussed,
I think that's because Chuck Schumer. Maybe he's got the
goods on Chuck Schumer. Maybe, but Chuck Schumer has taken
a lot of heat from the liberal of his party

(29:02):
over his unwillingness to battle it out with Trump and filibuster,
and his unwillingness to drag this out and cause Trump
a bunch of problems, which he could have done, including
to the point of potentially shutting down the government. They
didn't mount a real campaign. Now, now, Jasmine Crockett and AOC,
those geniuses, they're not criticizing Trump, They're criticizing Chuck Schumer. Well,

(29:28):
Chuck Schumer has four years before he's up. This will
be forgotten. It's a six year term. He's not terribly
worried today. But you are worried, as we've discussed, when
you have infighting in the Democrat Party, because you've got
the left firing at what is for them the middle,
not the American middle, but it's the middle of the

(29:50):
Democrat Party. The middle of the Democrat Party is way
to the left of American society. But even within the
party there is a spectrum. And Schumer is less about
ideology than about the raw exercise of power and patronage.
For Schumer to allow himself to put himself in a

(30:13):
situation where he can get beat up by the left
tells you that there is some reason. And I think
there are plenty of Republicans on that list as well,
and I think it has something. Once you reveal that list,
and I want to see as bad as you do,
you can't hold it over their head in him the

(30:33):
theory that has been proffered, and I think there is
a good chance that there is something to that fear.
I think there is a very good chance that there
is something to that Feary it's an interesting Trump's holding
all the cards. I'll tell you that he's holding all

(30:53):
the cards, the willingness to go in, shatter the glass
and pull the files out, and show to the world
that willingness to open his own kimono, because if they
catch anything on him, you know they're gonna remember when
