Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loud. The
Michael Very Show is on the air. Garry, I want
you to.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Say what you put me in brother, Hey, I got
bumps on the other time.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But here you say, Yeah, show you the money, Show
me the money, Show me the money.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, Jes show me the money. That's it from what
you tell.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Show me the money, Jared, show me the money shared
by Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Show Look at the unfair trade practices that we have.
Fifty percent from the European Union on American dairy. You
have a seven hundred percent tariff from Japan on American rice.
You have a one hundred percent tariff from India on
American agricultural products. You have nearly a three hundred percent
terraft from Canada on American butter and American cheese. This
(00:57):
makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported
into these markets, and it has put a lot of
Americans out of business and out of work over the
past several decades.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
So it's time for reciprocity.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's been a lot time coming.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Let's chase come, Yes, it will.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
We've seen some of our most imbalanced trading partners come
forward and want to drop their tariffs. So by President
Trump pushing forward with a tariff plan reciprocal tariffs, if you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Drop yours will drop hours.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
We are already seeing some of the worst defenders come down.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Lot time coming. But let's chase.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
President Trump's created a win win situation here. Either the
tariff barriers come down, the US can.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Export more, trade is fairer.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's always been free, but not fairer, and then we
or if they.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Don't do it, we'll take in substantial revenues. It's love
time chase come. Yes, we have to care about Americans.
You know the global view that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Says if I move car manufacturing out of Michigan, out
of Ohio to Mexico and to Canada, does that lower
our costs? It does, But what does it do to
Americans who live in Michigan and Ohio.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know what it does. It decimates their community.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You lose a US steel from Pittsburgh, you are going
to blitz Pittsburgh and that whole community.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So someone's got to care about these workers. Someone's got
to care about these people.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And the combination of bringing that back, that manufacturing back,
or you don't want to bring it back, pay the
tar from the way in the Door.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
The Love.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Cary Andrew Breichbark created a situation a long time coming
where he managed to get a story revealed. What was
the name Shirod, what was the lady's name? He managed
to get a story revealed about the fraud and discriminatory
(03:43):
practices of the Department of Agriculture. And I'm trying to
remember exactly how it went, but I remember the brilliant
move was he created kind of a scandal around a
story that when it was you had to explain the
other story, and in the explanation he managed.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
To get that story in the news, which was the point.
Because New York Times loves to say democracy dies in darkness,
but actually they smother democracy to the extent that we
are a democratic republic that is truly a functioning representative
style government. The New York Times works very hard to
(04:27):
prevent most Americans from having any input into our government
because they think most Americans are racist and idiots and
backwater and dumb and get bad information. So they can
you can actually kill a topic, You can win over
a topic on your side by simply preventing a topics
(04:49):
discussion to ever get any oxygen and if if nobody
talks about it, it's as if it didn't happen. So
if we're to talk about tariffs, it's important that we
understand what Trump has done before he ever imposes a
single tariff on another country. Trump has made every American aware,
(05:11):
guess what other countries don't let your products in. If
we're going to have a nationalistic pride in the products
of our country and we're going to say I want
American products to be sent around the world, do Americans
not care about that anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
I fear that that may be the case, in which
case this falls on deaf ears. I fear that Americans
no longer think I want a robust manufacturing economy that
we can send products around the world. I fear that
people saying, who, why do I care?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And I fear that instead the only thing.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
People care about is I want cheap products, because I
want to buy a lot of stuff, and I can
buy more stuff if it's all cheap.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I am not opposed to consumption, whether.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
That be conspicuous consumption so that everybody knows you're making money,
or so that you're in the club, or because you
need it as your therapy. Some people have to buy
things to feel better about themselves because they were once
denied things, or you need to show people that you
have things.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't care why you consume. I'm not a problem
with it at all.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
I think that there's a certain amount of action to
the commerce of purchasing things that goes far and above
what we quote unquote need to survive, and it gets
into wants, and those wants or for all sorts of.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Reasons that we've talked about already.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
And I think that that creates economic activity that creates wealth,
and there is something to be said for this sort
of false wealth creation occasioned by constant commercial activity. Go
to a mall to the we still have any and
watch people walking along ambling without any real purpose. You
(07:02):
go to a third world country, you don't do that.
In a third world country. You go to the shop,
you buy your item, and you go home. In this country, shopping,
the act of engaging in commerce is an activity. It's
like a hobby. Now, there are people that will tell
you that that's morally bankrupt, or it's terrible or whatever else.
But I'm going to tell you that is a basis
(07:22):
of the American economy in other countries, that's not true.
So because we are a country that engages in a
great deal of commercial activity and we're good at it.
We created these malls, we created you know, all these
different ways you could engage in commerce. We created the
home delivery system to the extent that the world has
(07:46):
now attempted to copycat what we've done all of those things.
And what Trump has exposed is the rest of the
world is not playing fair. So whatever you may think
about the imposition of tariffs, here, Trumps has made the
point that nobody seemed to know already, and I'm glad
he did. We're gonna talk about tariff's We're gonna talk
(08:08):
about how important this is. We're talking about how that
affects every American and the strength of this country. This,
you know, Trump's got us talking about serious stuff. This
is what we ought to be talking about economic policy.
This is good, This is heavy stuff. These are good times.
These are the good old days.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Folks. You've got dumb Michael Berry show.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Do you know which song has a Hammon organ and
shouldn't because it ruins the song?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I'm not one song. Everything.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
You could put a hammon organ into every song I
don't I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I love it. I love the sound, I love the vibe,
I love what.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
It brings to it. You know, I find it really
really interesting how how our economic policy affects every single
American and how few people are engaging in this conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But if I were to say, Hey.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Jasmine Crockett, who's a congressman who you don't even know
where she's from. You might know she's from Texas, but
she's that kind of ghetto Hucci Mama black woman that
is said that the governor of Texas she called him
hot Wheels because he's in a wheelchair. Everybody has an opinion.
(09:31):
Everybody has an opinion. People have opinions. They bother to
have opinion, they bother to learn more. If there's a
school shooting in a state they've never been to, by
a guy they don't know, having children they'll never meet,
and it's the same fact pattern that it's been thirty
five times, they will dig into the name of the school,
(09:54):
the name of the town, the number of people killed,
how long it happened. They'll try to find every bit
of footage they can possibly dig up. They will review
it again twenty two times for no particular reason. They're
not in this business. They're not preventing the next one,
and they will indulge in a very very lengthy analysis
of that whole event. But when it comes to the
(10:15):
trade policy that will determine whether their grandchildren will be
wealthy or poor, they will offhandedly say.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know. I mean, if Trump's doing it, I
don't know. I just tay two. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I don't know about the whole terrorists, I don't know.
I you know, it sounds to me, complicated. It's what
it sounds like, really complicated. Okay, we're doing complicated, all right?
This is this is as important as whether we go
to war. This is really really important. What products are
you going to be able to buy and at what cost?
(10:52):
What products that our neighbors make are going to be
sent abroad. Are companies who are currently headquartered and operating
outside of the United States, are they going to move
operations to the United States? Because if they do, here's
what's going to happen. They're not going to move operations
to the Blue States. You do understand this, right, If
(11:12):
you look at where the growth is of foreign owned
corporations that develop manufacturing operations.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Here.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You look at Alabama where BMW built a big operation.
They're going to bring those operations to Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas.
Arkansas is going Arkansas is going to boom. Arkansas is
absolutely going to boom. First of all, you've got the
(11:46):
Walmart headquarters, and Bentonville is already surging before all this.
Bentonville is becoming what nash Vegas was twenty years ago
before it was overrun by West Coast. And that's probably
not a good thing for Bentonville because it'll start cool
because it'll be kind of you know that, They'll they'll
(12:07):
open a couple of sushi restaurants, and the people of
Bentonville will go, this is cool, man. We only ever
had barbecue and burgers, and now we got it. We
got a sushi restaurant here in Bentonville. I got a
friend who she and her husband just moved to Bentonville.
And and then they'll they'll be happy with their with
their new with their fancy new uh sushi restaurant, and
(12:30):
then they'll be uh, you know all that. Then there'll
be an ri I that opens.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh my god, we got an Ario. We look at us.
We're we're in New York.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
This is great, and before you know it, what will
happen there is the same thing that happened to Austin, Nashville, Portland, Seattle,
San Francisco. Those vile white liberals, and they are vile.
They're single in their twenties, they're arrogant, they wear t vos,
they wear they wear sandals that that that z and
(13:01):
open toad shoes. And the women are ugly and the
men are wimpy, and they're very nasty, and they want
bike lanes everywhere. They'll start shutting down the roads and
wanting bike lanes. They'll start they'll start organizing and voting.
They'll create social discord because they love social discord.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
It makes them feel alive.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
So they'll start with a gay thing, and they're going
to training thing, and then they'll go into and they'll
just have freakishness all the time. Before you know it,
Bentonville is booming and growing and with all the wrong people.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And they've done it to Colorado.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I mean, you look at look at how many great
places in America white liberals have destroyed in the relatively
recent past. When I when we went on in Portland, Oregon,
I think it was twenty two thousand and seven or
two thousand and eight, and we used to go and
spend the summer there, my wife and kids and I
and we would rent a house and we'd hang out
(14:07):
with Marshall Burgess who was now the market manager there,
and Robert Dove who was the market manager before, and
Jennifer and all our team that we worked with there.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
We loved that place.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
And we'd go to Lake Oswego and we'd go to
the restaurants and it was fun. We'd go down to
the Benson Hotel. And Portland was a wonderful, thriving, quirky,
little weird town. It was Portland yap. And sure you
had the you know, the women's bookstore by Women for
(14:39):
women that was you know that Fred Armison and Kerrie
Brownstein were portraying, And you had all the quirkiness. You
had the over the top coffee shops and over the
top crack beer shops and the the you know, very
opinionated people working behind the counter. But it was still
bearable and it was safe and it was clean. And
(15:00):
then overnight it just like they picked up, you know,
when somebody's making a batch of something and all you
need is to concentrate, and so you just pour water
on it and you make that concentrate. It was like
they took the concentrate from San Francisco and they dumped
it into Hawthorne in Portland and then they poured water
(15:23):
on it and it's spread and it just it destroyed
that city, just absolutely destroyed it. And it's tragic to
think because it was such a glorious, glorious, wonderful city.
And then a couple of years ago, a few years ago,
I brought a group of listeners from Houston to Portland
and I took them to the food park.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I wanted to see the food park. We want to
go across the street.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
And we're all at we've all gone to the food park,
which ends up having like zombie type people there, and
then we go to the park across the street whether
it's beautiful, and these homeless people, very aggressive homeless people,
come running, they chasing each other and fighting, and one
of them is flinging food from plates that they get.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Out of the trash bin.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And the trash bin hadn't been cleaned, so they're they're
taking Indian food and flinging it. And one of the
people in our group says they were flinging poo at
some point. I don't know if they were flinging pooh,
but they were flinging Indian food. And it's about as
bad because it's very spicy and very smelly.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And that's what Portland's becoming. What a bummer, right, The
Michael Varies Show continues, continues, What a beautiful moment in
American history.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You just told a beautiful moment for country music, the
outlaw country music scene. For those of you not in Texas,
you can't imagine how that informs all Texas country music
after that, the Willie and Waylon and Leon Russell and
I mean even up to the fabulous Thunderbirds, and it's
so many things that just weave into that hole.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Stevie, ray Vong, everything else.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
But we're talking about tariffs and to focus on tariffs,
and the left is acting like tariff's the war's going
to end, because we're going to require companies that if
you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're not gona let
our product in your country, we're not gonna let your
product in ours without paying dearly for it. Right, And
you're all gonna die because of tariffs, because all you
really want is cheap crap. You don't care if our
(17:21):
economy dies and smothers and smolders because the Chinese have
have have manipulated.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Us for this long. You don't care.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
You just want cheap crap at the dollar store. I
don't believe that to be true, and I think Donald
Trump knows that. So Trump hurts the globalist agenda, and
the globalist agenda is about knocking America down to size
and bringing the other powers up so that America does
not have hegemony dominance in the world, which we naturally
(17:50):
would if left to the state of the natural state
of the marketplace.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
JD.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Vance was speaking during a News Nation town hall with
Chris Cuomo during the campaign, and I want you to
listen carefully to what JD says.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think this is important.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
You have to qualify the understanding based on what we
just saw with those twenty plus Nobel X winning economists
who said, if you do tariffs the wrong way, you
wind up spiking prices here that get passed on to
the consumer, and that was also additive to inflation. And
they criticize the Trump administration and its future plan for
(18:35):
being at risk of doing exactly that.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
Sure, So I know that's a criticism that's been out there.
Here here's why I don't buy it. So, first of all,
these are the same experts that said shipping our entire
manufacturing industry to China, to East Asia, to Mexico would
lead to greater American prosperity.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They were wrong. It was a mistake to do that.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
We followed their advice, and now frankly, a lot of
Americans can't afford a good life, can at a middle
class wage because we listened to some of those very
same peace people. But the more immediate reason why I
don't buy that argument, Chris is, look, Donald Trump is
already president, right, These are just plans and proposals. He
was already president, and when he was president, he did
use tariffs, right, And you had the fastest rising take
(19:14):
home pay in forty years in this country. You had
inflation at one point five percent. So, look, you don't
have to agree with everything I say or everything that
Donald Trump says, but when you actually look at the
policy accomplishments, we had low inflation and rising take home pay, and.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think tariffs were a big part of that.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Many Americans resigned themselves. I hear it, I hear I
read my emails every day. Many Americans resigned themselves to
the idea that American manufacturing he's dead, that we're no
longer in manufacturing power. It's not what we do, we
don't do it anymore, and we're never going to do
it anymore. Many Americans are resigned to the slow and
(19:53):
steady decline that we have witnessed over the last few decades,
and they see it as unavoidable.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And the reason for that.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
People choose to assume that things are a fay at
a complete a thing that is going to happen with
or without our pushback. People like to accept a sort
of destiny, a sort of preconceived.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
What is the word, what is the word? I'm I'm
floundering around.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
But that there is a destiny to this, that it
is destined to be the case.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
They love it to be the case.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
That nothing can be done, nothing can be changed to
alter the course upon which we are traveling.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
So if.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
America has declined in manufacturing in certain industries, and they
simply say, you can't change it. This is what we
had at the border, right, you can't close the border
it's too it's too too many, too many elements to it.
You can't close the border.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
A border wall won't work. They'll go over it, they'll
go under it. You can't close it.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
You can't fix the immigration problem unless you fix the
employer problem. And nobody wants to fix the employer problem.
You can't fix the employer problem, so you can't fix
the immigration problem. Can't fix the immigration problem until you
fix the countries that people are fleeing from. Can't fix
the immigration problem until you get people to stop hiring
cheap labor outside the labor laws because it costs less
than they can work them like slaves. You can't fix
(21:28):
the border because these people are too clever. They have
tunnels and they're great pole vaulters, and you'll never stop
them from coming. You can't fix it because you don't
you have you can't build that many miles of wall,
and the border is too broad, and too many people
are coming, and there's the coyotes are too clever, and
the cartels are too powerful, and the border patrols too lazy,
(21:51):
and you can't stop it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You just can't stop it.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It's going to happen, and you might as well just
accept it, and we're going to become Mexico and it's
all going to be crap and there's nothing you can
do about it. So enjoy your off in the meantime
because you can't do anything to stop it. That was
not just a Democrat mindset. That was a mindset of
many Americans. I heard it. It is a resignation born
of failure, a loss of hope, a loss of optimism,
(22:18):
a loss of agency. See, I'm not responsible for the decline.
The decline is inevitable. So what am I going to do?
Why bother myself about it? In fact, if that parade
was rolling through the parade of America's decline, they stepped
(22:38):
up and i'm sorry, stepped down from the sidewalk and
joined it. They added to the momentum. And these people
would argue with me, they're listeners, they're nice people. They're
otherwise nice people. Now they're losers. And I don't say
that is they're not criminals, they're not immoral, they're simply
people with a loser's mentality. There are people with a
(23:00):
loser's mentality.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You can really like your.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Team's head coach, but he's not a winner, and he's
never gonna win. And you've noticed in his career he
never does win. He's not a winner, he's a loser.
There are people who have a loser's mentality. They always
have and they always will. They don't want to compete
because if you compete, you might lose. And they've lost.
They've tried, they ran the race and came in last.
(23:22):
So if you're already coming in last every time you
run a race, then you just don't try, and you
make a show of sauntering instead, and that way nobody
thinks you tried and lost. So there was a resignation
to many Americans to the idea that we are in decline.
And Barack Obama would say that it's so good, it's
(23:43):
all right. We just don't manufacture anymore. And people say
that what's he going to do? Wave them magic won,
what's Trump going to do? He says he's gonna do something.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well, he has and he closed the border and guess
when it worked. But you've got to be you've got
to be a risk taker, an entrepreneur, you've got to
be an innovator. You've got to be fearless, you've got
to be bold. And that's where we're going with this.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Book, Michael.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
You will often ask me what I'm reading or what
they should read, and I will tell you. I share
with a friend of mine who also does a nationally
syndicated show named Jesse Kelly. Jesse and I are good
buddies and we swap ideas and guests and theories and
things like that, and he as well, is a bit
(24:38):
of a nut for history, especially World War two era history,
and one of the things. And there's a point to
this in case you're wondering. There's always a point. I
just sometimes forget to make it or don't. I don't
make it successfully. I like to use metaphors and analogies
and anecdotes to make a point. But just know I'm
not randomly talking. I'm trying to make a point. So
(25:00):
the point on this one is going to be made
by if you were to study the German occupation of
Poland during World War Two. The Poles don't get their credit.
The polls had a greater influence on how World War
Two swung then history has given them. And I would
(25:25):
like that to change because it's it's the Germans had
a piece of equipment. It was a military technology and
it was known as Enigma, and it would encrypt their
radio transmissions. So remember, I know you know this, but
(25:49):
it's not intuitive. There's no cell phone, right, there's no Internet,
there's no email, there's no all these and you've got
to communicate, and communication is every everything. You know, you
go back to Lincoln writing the letter to McClellan or
to mead to advance or to retreat as the waters recede,
(26:11):
or to surround General Lee here, or to pull back
because Lee has the strong position, you know those you
can wipe out your army or you can fail to
wipe out your opponent. And so the Germans had a
far flown military enterprise going. I mean, it's quite remarkable
and astounding what they were able to accomplish. It's also frightening.
(26:36):
It is frightening to think what the German people did.
They are a mighty, mighty people, and had Hitler not
been the chancellor and instead someone else, that country might
have taken a very different direction. They were disgruntled financially,
(26:56):
there's no doubt, but the intellectual might of that nation,
the innovation, the ability to both invent and manufacture two
different skill sets. The Japanese are not nearly as or
the Chinese. The Chinese and Japanese are not as inventive
(27:17):
of people, but they're very good at replication. They're incredibly
good at replication. That's why they tend to be manufacturers
of products they don't invent.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Whereas the Western.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Mind, if I'm painting with a very broad brush, tends
to be more creative. The Asians are not known, I think,
to the same degree as creative. The Western mind tends
to be more creative, but at least in the modern era,
less good at replication, duplication and the light. But in
any case, back to Germany. So, Germany has this far
(27:54):
flong empire and they're spread from Dunkirk to Russia into Africa.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Uh uh.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
And they're in the seas, and they're they're on the seas,
in the air, on land. It's it's it's a spectacular, amazing,
overwhelming military prowess, the likes of which we'd never seen before.
And and might I mentioned frightening. I study this today
and I think how close we were to losing it
(28:23):
all because of the power, the might of Germany. And
that doesn't even begin to get into Japan. But anyway, so,
but the Germans had to communicate. They had to tell
Rammel whether to attack or pull back, whether to uh,
are we gonna are we gonna close off their forces here?
I still everything I read about Dunkirk. Dunkirk is a blunder.
(28:46):
The Germans had the Brits and and you know, some
Norwegians and French and and the like. But they had
the Brits pinned down at Dunkirk. It was checkmate, it
was check mate if the attack, but they didn't, and
they gave time for this. It's one of the most
inspiring stories of of all of World War Two, and
(29:07):
in fact it's one of the most inspiring stories of
human history. The fact that the Brits, the Churchill calls out, look,
if you have a boat, go save our boys. Their
pinned down at Dunkirk on the west coast of Europe.
There pinned down, and Hitler's gonna annihilate them. And you know,
everybody has a different opinion about why he didn't, but
(29:28):
there's no doubt it was from his If you were
reviewing him and grading him, it was one of the
worst blunders of the war. He could have he could
have could have finished the Brits, not not technically but
close enough, and he didn't do it. So anyway, we
(29:49):
don't know exactly why he didn't. So communication is key.
Back to that point, the polls created in the underground world.
They created a device that could hack Enigma, and that hack, uh,
(30:11):
that hack allowed I think they call it Bletchley Park,
allowed Churchill and in fact the Americans, but Churchill to
intercept radio transmissions and to know what the Germans were
going to do before they did it, giving him an
incredible advantage, giving giving the West an incredible advantage. Now
I say all that a little lengthdy, sorry, but it's
(30:33):
important to understand that the Polish resistance, there were polls
who were passing messages every night to keep.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
This thing going.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
There during VS in Vichy, France that was occupied France
by the Germans, there was an underground resistance. There were
people being murdered by the Germans because they were working
to undermine the German government.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
As civilians.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
They might have been a baker by day and they would,
you know, they would put a message in the bread
that would be passed and it would get to London.
And these were how the spies were the fact is,
very few people were part of either of those undergrounds.
They're legendary undergrounds, the Polish Underground and the French Underground
Vichy France Underground. The French Underground is better known because
(31:23):
the French did a better job of telling their story.
But I'll bet you over ninety percent of the population
was not involved in that. There was only a few.
There are very few people fighting for this country. Talk
radio listeners are.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
In that view.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
There are very few people who understand the stakes of
what's happening in this country. You see what happened with
Wisconsin yesterday, and so the Wall Street Journal said it
was a repudiation, a rebuff of Trump. It wasn't a
rebuff of Trump. Those weren't Trump voters who voted against Schimmel.
Those weren't Trump voters who voted against Trump. Those were
(32:02):
Trump voters who stayed home. Because our voters only show
up when they're frightened. So when people say, why do
you play AOC clips, why do you play Jasmine Procket clips,
Why do you play the most leftist, crazy, wacky communist ideas,
why do you play Bernie Sanders clips? Because our people,
not you, but your neighbors. Our people don't activate. They
(32:27):
don't motivate unless they are frightened, and so we have
to frighten them. There we are, we have to frighten them,
and I'm sorry, you've got to be frightened in the meantime.
But a lot of people don't show up to vote
unless they are certain that it's the end times. That's
why people showed up and voted for Trump. They realize
that if we lost that election, it was the end
(32:47):
of our society. So they'll get off their ass and
go vote. Otherwise they wouldn't
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loud. The
Michael Very Show is on the air. Garry, I want
you to.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Say what you put me in brother, Hey, I got
bumps on the other time.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But here you say, Yeah, show you the money, Show
me the money, Show me the money.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, Jes show me the money. That's it from what
you tell.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Show me the money, Jared, show me the money shared
by Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Show Look at the unfair trade practices that we have.
Fifty percent from the European Union on American dairy. You
have a seven hundred percent tariff from Japan on American rice.
You have a one hundred percent tariff from India on
American agricultural products. You have nearly a three hundred percent
terraft from Canada on American butter and American cheese. This
(00:57):
makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported
into these markets, and it has put a lot of
Americans out of business and out of work over the
past several decades.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
So it's time for reciprocity.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's been a lot time coming.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Let's chase come, Yes, it will.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
We've seen some of our most imbalanced trading partners come
forward and want to drop their tariffs. So by President
Trump pushing forward with a tariff plan reciprocal tariffs, if you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Drop yours will drop hours.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
We are already seeing some of the worst defenders come down.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Lot time coming. But let's chase.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
President Trump's created a win win situation here. Either the
tariff barriers come down, the US can.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Export more, trade is fairer.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's always been free, but not fairer, and then we
or if they.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Don't do it, we'll take in substantial revenues. It's love
time chase come. Yes, we have to care about Americans.
You know the global view that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Says if I move car manufacturing out of Michigan, out
of Ohio to Mexico and to Canada, does that lower
our costs? It does, But what does it do to
Americans who live in Michigan and Ohio.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know what it does. It decimates their community.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You lose a US steel from Pittsburgh, you are going
to blitz Pittsburgh and that whole community.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So someone's got to care about these workers. Someone's got
to care about these people.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And the combination of bringing that back, that manufacturing back,
or you don't want to bring it back, pay the
tar from the way in the Door.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
The Love.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Cary Andrew Breichbark created a situation a long time coming
where he managed to get a story revealed. What was
the name Shirod, what was the lady's name? He managed
to get a story revealed about the fraud and discriminatory
(03:43):
practices of the Department of Agriculture. And I'm trying to
remember exactly how it went, but I remember the brilliant
move was he created kind of a scandal around a
story that when it was you had to explain the
other story, and in the explanation he managed.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
To get that story in the news, which was the point.
Because New York Times loves to say democracy dies in darkness,
but actually they smother democracy to the extent that we
are a democratic republic that is truly a functioning representative
style government. The New York Times works very hard to
(04:27):
prevent most Americans from having any input into our government
because they think most Americans are racist and idiots and
backwater and dumb and get bad information. So they can
you can actually kill a topic, You can win over
a topic on your side by simply preventing a topics
(04:49):
discussion to ever get any oxygen and if if nobody
talks about it, it's as if it didn't happen. So
if we're to talk about tariffs, it's important that we
understand what Trump has done before he ever imposes a
single tariff on another country. Trump has made every American aware,
(05:11):
guess what other countries don't let your products in. If
we're going to have a nationalistic pride in the products
of our country and we're going to say I want
American products to be sent around the world, do Americans
not care about that anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
I fear that that may be the case, in which
case this falls on deaf ears. I fear that Americans
no longer think I want a robust manufacturing economy that
we can send products around the world. I fear that
people saying, who, why do I care?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And I fear that instead the only thing.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
People care about is I want cheap products, because I
want to buy a lot of stuff, and I can
buy more stuff if it's all cheap.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I am not opposed to consumption, whether.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
That be conspicuous consumption so that everybody knows you're making money,
or so that you're in the club, or because you
need it as your therapy. Some people have to buy
things to feel better about themselves because they were once
denied things, or you need to show people that you
have things.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't care why you consume. I'm not a problem
with it at all.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
I think that there's a certain amount of action to
the commerce of purchasing things that goes far and above
what we quote unquote need to survive, and it gets
into wants, and those wants or for all sorts of.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Reasons that we've talked about already.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
And I think that that creates economic activity that creates wealth,
and there is something to be said for this sort
of false wealth creation occasioned by constant commercial activity. Go
to a mall to the we still have any and
watch people walking along ambling without any real purpose. You
(07:02):
go to a third world country, you don't do that.
In a third world country. You go to the shop,
you buy your item, and you go home. In this country, shopping,
the act of engaging in commerce is an activity. It's
like a hobby. Now, there are people that will tell
you that that's morally bankrupt, or it's terrible or whatever else.
But I'm going to tell you that is a basis
(07:22):
of the American economy in other countries, that's not true.
So because we are a country that engages in a
great deal of commercial activity and we're good at it.
We created these malls, we created you know, all these
different ways you could engage in commerce. We created the
home delivery system to the extent that the world has
(07:46):
now attempted to copycat what we've done all of those things.
And what Trump has exposed is the rest of the
world is not playing fair. So whatever you may think
about the imposition of tariffs, here, Trumps has made the
point that nobody seemed to know already, and I'm glad
he did. We're gonna talk about tariff's We're gonna talk
(08:08):
about how important this is. We're talking about how that
affects every American and the strength of this country. This,
you know, Trump's got us talking about serious stuff. This
is what we ought to be talking about economic policy.
This is good, This is heavy stuff. These are good times.
These are the good old days.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Folks. You've got dumb Michael Berry show.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Do you know which song has a Hammon organ and
shouldn't because it ruins the song?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I'm not one song. Everything.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
You could put a hammon organ into every song I
don't I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I love it. I love the sound, I love the vibe,
I love what.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
It brings to it. You know, I find it really
really interesting how how our economic policy affects every single
American and how few people are engaging in this conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But if I were to say, Hey.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Jasmine Crockett, who's a congressman who you don't even know
where she's from. You might know she's from Texas, but
she's that kind of ghetto Hucci Mama black woman that
is said that the governor of Texas she called him
hot Wheels because he's in a wheelchair. Everybody has an opinion.
(09:31):
Everybody has an opinion. People have opinions. They bother to
have opinion, they bother to learn more. If there's a
school shooting in a state they've never been to, by
a guy they don't know, having children they'll never meet,
and it's the same fact pattern that it's been thirty
five times, they will dig into the name of the school,
(09:54):
the name of the town, the number of people killed,
how long it happened. They'll try to find every bit
of footage they can possibly dig up. They will review
it again twenty two times for no particular reason. They're
not in this business. They're not preventing the next one,
and they will indulge in a very very lengthy analysis
of that whole event. But when it comes to the
(10:15):
trade policy that will determine whether their grandchildren will be
wealthy or poor, they will offhandedly say.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know. I mean, if Trump's doing it, I
don't know. I just tay two. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I don't know about the whole terrorists, I don't know.
I you know, it sounds to me, complicated. It's what
it sounds like, really complicated. Okay, we're doing complicated, all right?
This is this is as important as whether we go
to war. This is really really important. What products are
you going to be able to buy and at what cost?
(10:52):
What products that our neighbors make are going to be
sent abroad. Are companies who are currently headquartered and operating
outside of the United States, are they going to move
operations to the United States? Because if they do, here's
what's going to happen. They're not going to move operations
to the Blue States. You do understand this, right, If
(11:12):
you look at where the growth is of foreign owned
corporations that develop manufacturing operations.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Here.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You look at Alabama where BMW built a big operation.
They're going to bring those operations to Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas.
Arkansas is going Arkansas is going to boom. Arkansas is
absolutely going to boom. First of all, you've got the
(11:46):
Walmart headquarters, and Bentonville is already surging before all this.
Bentonville is becoming what nash Vegas was twenty years ago
before it was overrun by West Coast. And that's probably
not a good thing for Bentonville because it'll start cool
because it'll be kind of you know that, They'll they'll
(12:07):
open a couple of sushi restaurants, and the people of
Bentonville will go, this is cool, man. We only ever
had barbecue and burgers, and now we got it. We
got a sushi restaurant here in Bentonville. I got a
friend who she and her husband just moved to Bentonville.
And and then they'll they'll be happy with their with
their new with their fancy new uh sushi restaurant, and
(12:30):
then they'll be uh, you know all that. Then there'll
be an ri I that opens.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh my god, we got an Ario. We look at us.
We're we're in New York.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
This is great, and before you know it, what will
happen there is the same thing that happened to Austin, Nashville, Portland, Seattle,
San Francisco. Those vile white liberals, and they are vile.
They're single in their twenties, they're arrogant, they wear t vos,
they wear they wear sandals that that that z and
(13:01):
open toad shoes. And the women are ugly and the
men are wimpy, and they're very nasty, and they want
bike lanes everywhere. They'll start shutting down the roads and
wanting bike lanes. They'll start they'll start organizing and voting.
They'll create social discord because they love social discord.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
It makes them feel alive.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
So they'll start with a gay thing, and they're going
to training thing, and then they'll go into and they'll
just have freakishness all the time. Before you know it,
Bentonville is booming and growing and with all the wrong people.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And they've done it to Colorado.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I mean, you look at look at how many great
places in America white liberals have destroyed in the relatively
recent past. When I when we went on in Portland, Oregon,
I think it was twenty two thousand and seven or
two thousand and eight, and we used to go and
spend the summer there, my wife and kids and I
and we would rent a house and we'd hang out
(14:07):
with Marshall Burgess who was now the market manager there,
and Robert Dove who was the market manager before, and
Jennifer and all our team that we worked with there.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
We loved that place.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
And we'd go to Lake Oswego and we'd go to
the restaurants and it was fun. We'd go down to
the Benson Hotel. And Portland was a wonderful, thriving, quirky,
little weird town. It was Portland yap. And sure you
had the you know, the women's bookstore by Women for
(14:39):
women that was you know that Fred Armison and Kerrie
Brownstein were portraying, And you had all the quirkiness. You
had the over the top coffee shops and over the
top crack beer shops and the the you know, very
opinionated people working behind the counter. But it was still
bearable and it was safe and it was clean. And
(15:00):
then overnight it just like they picked up, you know,
when somebody's making a batch of something and all you
need is to concentrate, and so you just pour water
on it and you make that concentrate. It was like
they took the concentrate from San Francisco and they dumped
it into Hawthorne in Portland and then they poured water
(15:23):
on it and it's spread and it just it destroyed
that city, just absolutely destroyed it. And it's tragic to
think because it was such a glorious, glorious, wonderful city.
And then a couple of years ago, a few years ago,
I brought a group of listeners from Houston to Portland
and I took them to the food park.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I wanted to see the food park. We want to
go across the street.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
And we're all at we've all gone to the food park,
which ends up having like zombie type people there, and
then we go to the park across the street whether
it's beautiful, and these homeless people, very aggressive homeless people,
come running, they chasing each other and fighting, and one
of them is flinging food from plates that they get.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Out of the trash bin.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And the trash bin hadn't been cleaned, so they're they're
taking Indian food and flinging it. And one of the
people in our group says they were flinging poo at
some point. I don't know if they were flinging pooh,
but they were flinging Indian food. And it's about as
bad because it's very spicy and very smelly.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And that's what Portland's becoming. What a bummer, right, The
Michael Varies Show continues, continues, What a beautiful moment in
American history.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
You just told a beautiful moment for country music, the
outlaw country music scene. For those of you not in Texas,
you can't imagine how that informs all Texas country music
after that, the Willie and Waylon and Leon Russell and
I mean even up to the fabulous Thunderbirds, and it's
so many things that just weave into that hole.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Stevie, ray Vong, everything else.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
But we're talking about tariffs and to focus on tariffs,
and the left is acting like tariff's the war's going
to end, because we're going to require companies that if
you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're not gona let
our product in your country, we're not gonna let your
product in ours without paying dearly for it. Right, And
you're all gonna die because of tariffs, because all you
really want is cheap crap. You don't care if our
(17:21):
economy dies and smothers and smolders because the Chinese have
have have manipulated.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Us for this long. You don't care.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
You just want cheap crap at the dollar store. I
don't believe that to be true, and I think Donald
Trump knows that. So Trump hurts the globalist agenda, and
the globalist agenda is about knocking America down to size
and bringing the other powers up so that America does
not have hegemony dominance in the world, which we naturally
(17:50):
would if left to the state of the natural state
of the marketplace.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
JD.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
Vance was speaking during a News Nation town hall with
Chris Cuomo during the campaign, and I want you to
listen carefully to what JD says.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think this is important.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
You have to qualify the understanding based on what we
just saw with those twenty plus Nobel X winning economists
who said, if you do tariffs the wrong way, you
wind up spiking prices here that get passed on to
the consumer, and that was also additive to inflation. And
they criticize the Trump administration and its future plan for
(18:35):
being at risk of doing exactly that.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
Sure, So I know that's a criticism that's been out there.
Here here's why I don't buy it. So, first of all,
these are the same experts that said shipping our entire
manufacturing industry to China, to East Asia, to Mexico would
lead to greater American prosperity.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They were wrong. It was a mistake to do that.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
We followed their advice, and now frankly, a lot of
Americans can't afford a good life, can at a middle
class wage because we listened to some of those very
same peace people. But the more immediate reason why I
don't buy that argument, Chris is, look, Donald Trump is
already president, right, These are just plans and proposals. He
was already president, and when he was president, he did
use tariffs, right, And you had the fastest rising take
(19:14):
home pay in forty years in this country. You had
inflation at one point five percent. So, look, you don't
have to agree with everything I say or everything that
Donald Trump says, but when you actually look at the
policy accomplishments, we had low inflation and rising take home pay, and.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think tariffs were a big part of that.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Many Americans resigned themselves. I hear it, I hear I
read my emails every day. Many Americans resigned themselves to
the idea that American manufacturing he's dead, that we're no
longer in manufacturing power. It's not what we do, we
don't do it anymore, and we're never going to do
it anymore. Many Americans are resigned to the slow and
(19:53):
steady decline that we have witnessed over the last few decades,
and they see it as unavoidable.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And the reason for that.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
People choose to assume that things are a fay at
a complete a thing that is going to happen with
or without our pushback. People like to accept a sort
of destiny, a sort of preconceived.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
What is the word, what is the word? I'm I'm
floundering around.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
But that there is a destiny to this, that it
is destined to be the case.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
They love it to be the case.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
That nothing can be done, nothing can be changed to
alter the course upon which we are traveling.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
So if.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
America has declined in manufacturing in certain industries, and they
simply say, you can't change it. This is what we
had at the border, right, you can't close the border
it's too it's too too many, too many elements to it.
You can't close the border.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
A border wall won't work. They'll go over it, they'll
go under it. You can't close it.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
You can't fix the immigration problem unless you fix the
employer problem. And nobody wants to fix the employer problem.
You can't fix the employer problem, so you can't fix
the immigration problem. Can't fix the immigration problem until you
fix the countries that people are fleeing from. Can't fix
the immigration problem until you get people to stop hiring
cheap labor outside the labor laws because it costs less
than they can work them like slaves. You can't fix
(21:28):
the border because these people are too clever. They have
tunnels and they're great pole vaulters, and you'll never stop
them from coming. You can't fix it because you don't
you have you can't build that many miles of wall,
and the border is too broad, and too many people
are coming, and there's the coyotes are too clever, and
the cartels are too powerful, and the border patrols too lazy,
(21:51):
and you can't stop it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You just can't stop it.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It's going to happen, and you might as well just
accept it, and we're going to become Mexico and it's
all going to be crap and there's nothing you can
do about it. So enjoy your off in the meantime
because you can't do anything to stop it. That was
not just a Democrat mindset. That was a mindset of
many Americans. I heard it. It is a resignation born
of failure, a loss of hope, a loss of optimism,
(22:18):
a loss of agency. See, I'm not responsible for the decline.
The decline is inevitable. So what am I going to do?
Why bother myself about it? In fact, if that parade
was rolling through the parade of America's decline, they stepped
(22:38):
up and i'm sorry, stepped down from the sidewalk and
joined it. They added to the momentum. And these people
would argue with me, they're listeners, they're nice people. They're
otherwise nice people. Now they're losers. And I don't say
that is they're not criminals, they're not immoral, they're simply
people with a loser's mentality. There are people with a
(23:00):
loser's mentality.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You can really like your.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Team's head coach, but he's not a winner, and he's
never gonna win. And you've noticed in his career he
never does win. He's not a winner, he's a loser.
There are people who have a loser's mentality. They always
have and they always will. They don't want to compete
because if you compete, you might lose. And they've lost.
They've tried, they ran the race and came in last.
(23:22):
So if you're already coming in last every time you
run a race, then you just don't try, and you
make a show of sauntering instead, and that way nobody
thinks you tried and lost. So there was a resignation
to many Americans to the idea that we are in decline.
And Barack Obama would say that it's so good, it's
(23:43):
all right. We just don't manufacture anymore. And people say
that what's he going to do? Wave them magic won,
what's Trump going to do? He says he's gonna do something.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well, he has and he closed the border and guess
when it worked. But you've got to be you've got
to be a risk taker, an entrepreneur, you've got to
be an innovator. You've got to be fearless, you've got
to be bold. And that's where we're going with this.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Book, Michael.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
You will often ask me what I'm reading or what
they should read, and I will tell you. I share
with a friend of mine who also does a nationally
syndicated show named Jesse Kelly. Jesse and I are good
buddies and we swap ideas and guests and theories and
things like that, and he as well, is a bit
(24:38):
of a nut for history, especially World War two era history,
and one of the things. And there's a point to
this in case you're wondering. There's always a point. I
just sometimes forget to make it or don't. I don't
make it successfully. I like to use metaphors and analogies
and anecdotes to make a point. But just know I'm
not randomly talking. I'm trying to make a point. So
(25:00):
the point on this one is going to be made
by if you were to study the German occupation of
Poland during World War Two. The Poles don't get their credit.
The polls had a greater influence on how World War
Two swung then history has given them. And I would
(25:25):
like that to change because it's it's the Germans had
a piece of equipment. It was a military technology and
it was known as Enigma, and it would encrypt their
radio transmissions. So remember, I know you know this, but
(25:49):
it's not intuitive. There's no cell phone, right, there's no Internet,
there's no email, there's no all these and you've got
to communicate, and communication is every everything. You know, you
go back to Lincoln writing the letter to McClellan or
to mead to advance or to retreat as the waters recede,
(26:11):
or to surround General Lee here, or to pull back
because Lee has the strong position, you know those you
can wipe out your army or you can fail to
wipe out your opponent. And so the Germans had a
far flown military enterprise going. I mean, it's quite remarkable
and astounding what they were able to accomplish. It's also frightening.
(26:36):
It is frightening to think what the German people did.
They are a mighty, mighty people, and had Hitler not
been the chancellor and instead someone else, that country might
have taken a very different direction. They were disgruntled financially,
(26:56):
there's no doubt, but the intellectual might of that nation,
the innovation, the ability to both invent and manufacture two
different skill sets. The Japanese are not nearly as or
the Chinese. The Chinese and Japanese are not as inventive
(27:17):
of people, but they're very good at replication. They're incredibly
good at replication. That's why they tend to be manufacturers
of products they don't invent.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Whereas the Western.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Mind, if I'm painting with a very broad brush, tends
to be more creative. The Asians are not known, I think,
to the same degree as creative. The Western mind tends
to be more creative, but at least in the modern era,
less good at replication, duplication and the light. But in
any case, back to Germany. So, Germany has this far
(27:54):
flong empire and they're spread from Dunkirk to Russia into Africa.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Uh uh.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
And they're in the seas, and they're they're on the seas,
in the air, on land. It's it's it's a spectacular, amazing,
overwhelming military prowess, the likes of which we'd never seen before.
And and might I mentioned frightening. I study this today
and I think how close we were to losing it
(28:23):
all because of the power, the might of Germany. And
that doesn't even begin to get into Japan. But anyway, so,
but the Germans had to communicate. They had to tell
Rammel whether to attack or pull back, whether to uh,
are we gonna are we gonna close off their forces here?
I still everything I read about Dunkirk. Dunkirk is a blunder.
(28:46):
The Germans had the Brits and and you know, some
Norwegians and French and and the like. But they had
the Brits pinned down at Dunkirk. It was checkmate, it
was check mate if the attack, but they didn't, and
they gave time for this. It's one of the most
inspiring stories of of all of World War Two, and
(29:07):
in fact it's one of the most inspiring stories of
human history. The fact that the Brits, the Churchill calls out, look,
if you have a boat, go save our boys. Their
pinned down at Dunkirk on the west coast of Europe.
There pinned down, and Hitler's gonna annihilate them. And you know,
everybody has a different opinion about why he didn't, but
(29:28):
there's no doubt it was from his If you were
reviewing him and grading him, it was one of the
worst blunders of the war. He could have he could
have could have finished the Brits, not not technically but
close enough, and he didn't do it. So anyway, we
(29:49):
don't know exactly why he didn't. So communication is key.
Back to that point, the polls created in the underground world.
They created a device that could hack Enigma, and that hack, uh,
(30:11):
that hack allowed I think they call it Bletchley Park,
allowed Churchill and in fact the Americans, but Churchill to
intercept radio transmissions and to know what the Germans were
going to do before they did it, giving him an
incredible advantage, giving giving the West an incredible advantage. Now
I say all that a little lengthdy, sorry, but it's
(30:33):
important to understand that the Polish resistance, there were polls
who were passing messages every night to keep.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
This thing going.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
There during VS in Vichy, France that was occupied France
by the Germans, there was an underground resistance. There were
people being murdered by the Germans because they were working
to undermine the German government.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
As civilians.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
They might have been a baker by day and they would,
you know, they would put a message in the bread
that would be passed and it would get to London.
And these were how the spies were the fact is,
very few people were part of either of those undergrounds.
They're legendary undergrounds, the Polish Underground and the French Underground
Vichy France Underground. The French Underground is better known because
(31:23):
the French did a better job of telling their story.
But I'll bet you over ninety percent of the population
was not involved in that. There was only a few.
There are very few people fighting for this country. Talk
radio listeners are.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
In that view.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
There are very few people who understand the stakes of
what's happening in this country. You see what happened with
Wisconsin yesterday, and so the Wall Street Journal said it
was a repudiation, a rebuff of Trump. It wasn't a
rebuff of Trump. Those weren't Trump voters who voted against Schimmel.
Those weren't Trump voters who voted against Trump. Those were
(32:02):
Trump voters who stayed home. Because our voters only show
up when they're frightened. So when people say, why do
you play AOC clips, why do you play Jasmine Procket clips,
Why do you play the most leftist, crazy, wacky communist ideas,
why do you play Bernie Sanders clips? Because our people,
not you, but your neighbors. Our people don't activate. They
(32:27):
don't motivate unless they are frightened, and so we have
to frighten them. There we are, we have to frighten them,
and I'm sorry, you've got to be frightened in the meantime.
But a lot of people don't show up to vote
unless they are certain that it's the end times. That's
why people showed up and voted for Trump. They realize
that if we lost that election, it was the end
(32:47):
of our society. So they'll get off their ass and
go vote. Otherwise they wouldn't
