Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
On the air, and I said I would never leave you,
but you never will.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I've got a job to do too where I'm going.
You can't follow what I've got to do. You can't
be any part of it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm not good at being noble, but it doesn't take
much to see that the problems of three little people
don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Someday you'll understand that he's looking at your kidding. Will you.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Don't let you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pass you?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
My gardener didn't show up, my housekeeper didn't show up.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this
is not gonna just happen in LA.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And you one percenters that only voted for Trump because
of money.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Guess what You're gonna have to do your own dishes,
or clean your own house or mowing your own lawn
and owe that wonderful produce, the organic produce you get
for your brunches and all gone. Yeah, you're gonna actually
have to do some work around your house. These people
are important.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Will you.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Up?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
We can't let them scapegoat and criminalize immigrants who contribute.
Who are our neighbors, our friends, our church goers, our community.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Around us that we deeply love. Immigrants are us.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Immigrants are us, and we all deserve respect and dignity.
If you look at the food that's on your table,
think about who picked it. If you look at your homes,
think about who built them. If you look at your
vulnerable elders and.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Your kids, think about who's taken care of that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Let you.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Watched any news programming over the last couple of days,
including throughout the course of today, you know that it's
a very precarious situation in Israel and Iran. I was
watching the situation in Tel Aviv today and I think
(03:26):
to myself, Wow, what an awful, awful thing is war?
What an awful thing. The people who suffer the most
are the people who don't choose the war, and that's unfortunate.
(03:50):
And then I think about, you know, I'm an eighteen
and nineteen year old. I think about things I never
thought about before. The great letter from Abraham Lincoln to
missus Bixby, so beautifully expressing that his words could not
(04:10):
sage her guilt, her guilt, that his words could not
sage her grief, and it turned out that she had
not lost all her boys to war, but the War
Department at that point thought that they had, and there
were no real time records to fact check. But that
letter addressing this woman who had made such a sacrifice
(04:31):
for her nation, and I feel for the Irani people,
the people who hate the Ayatola. It's like Californians. It's
like conservatives in California. There are plenty of people who
live in California who hate what's going on and are
(04:51):
working very hard.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
To elect better people.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They didn't vote for Karen Bass, they didn't vote for
Gavin Newsom, and many of them have voted with their
feet and moved to Texas, just as many New Yorkers
have moved have voted with their feet and moved to Florida,
not just because of better weather, because of better policies.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There is uh, there's.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
A moment in twenty nineteen then President Trump Trump one
point zero. I talked a little bit about this yesterday,
but I had a number of you reach out and
say I didn't remember that, And I think it's very important.
(05:41):
President Trump was going to attack Iran, and he was
he was being goaded by John Bolton Mike Pompeo and
Mike Pence. The military industrial complex was pushing him very
hard to do that, and he was going to do it,
(06:07):
and at the last moment he changed his mind. He
went with his gut. Now, President Trump made a number
of mistakes in his first term.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That he learned.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
From, and one of them was, don't trust the swamp.
They will always always betray you, and they will take
each other's side, never yours. They're not loyal, they don't
(06:40):
have the best interests of this country in mind, and
they certainly don't have the best interest of him in mind.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
And he learned that.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
He learned that by the betrayals of some of the
people he put into office, some of the cabinet picks,
some of his attempts to do things to show, hey,
I can work with you guys, we can get some
things done.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You don't have to you don't have to fear me.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Some of those things allowed those those with out put
you know, kaka roaches to get inside the White House
and do him great harm. He tried to work with
Jim Comey, he did. He tried to work with with
the then leadership of the r n C. He tried
to work with a number of people who betrayed him,
(07:31):
but he did not. He did not attack Iran, and
he gave us as only Trump can do. It was
sort of a he's walking to the plane or walking
back from the plane.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I forget.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
He just walks over, as you know, everybody's getting ready
to leave, and he walks over and just starts talking
to the press. Biden could never do that, I don't
Obama couldn't do that. Bush couldn't do that. And he
goes over and he says, you know, first y'all, call
y'all said I was going to cause the next war,
and now you tell me I'm a dove. Well that
(08:07):
you're a dove. Comment was coming from the swamp in.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The deep state.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And my worry is those elements are still present and
they're still operating as they always have.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The guitars, cigars and a few thoughts from Bizarre on Michael.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It is Paul McCartney's birthday and Ramona is queer for
Paul McCartney, so I suspect there will probably be a
lot of Sir Paul audio used today. So I laid
out the situation of where Trump was and he chose
not to bomb Iran, and here was what he said
at the time. Now before you listen, after he decides
(08:53):
not to attack Iran, remember they they've taken down an
unman drone. At this point, they've been rather aggressive toward us,
and there was an outpouring of support. Look, I am
an anti war guy, but I will admit, like every
(09:13):
other guy, I like to watch crash.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Him up Derby.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I like to watch buildings demolished, and I like to
see our war arsenal, you know, blowing stuff up. That's cool.
I admit it's you know, there's a proud American in me.
You know, play some lead greenwood, and you know, I'll
cheer like the like the next guy. But there are deeper,
long term consequences to these sorts of things, and there's
(09:41):
real collateral damage to real Americans as a result of
these sorts of things. You don't you don't just walk
away from that. So the fact that I think the
President is circumspect in not doing that and was in
twenty nineteen gives me a lot more. I am not
(10:02):
what I call a Trump Pumper. I don't think that
if you know, if Trump falls down, I don't think
see he falls down better than anybody, because I don't
put any man above country, even Donald Trump. My support
and praise for Donald Trump is because of the job
he does, and when I don't agree with something he does,
(10:25):
I will say it, and I do understand it. There
are a number of Trump supporters, including in our audience,
who don't ever want that set and you're an awful person.
You should worship Trump because they do, and that's fine.
You're free to do that. He has earned that level
of trust and respect from people by being better than
the past presidents and earning the level of loyalty of
(10:50):
a cult like following.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He earned that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I give him that. That's not me, that is other people.
But that's perfectly fine. I am not in that category.
But when I tell you or so, when I tell
you that, I trust his judgment more than I would
any other president of my lifetime with regard to American
involvement in Iran, to whatever extent that ends up being,
(11:17):
I'm going to give him a lot more slack than
I would anybody else.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think George W.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Bush was being led around by Dick Cheney, and I
think Cheney told him this will make you look tough,
this will make the base love you people love a
president in a time of war. Bill Clinton would, in
asides with his staff, lament the fact that he couldn't
(11:44):
be a wartime president because all the great presidents are
known for the wars in which they served. Wartime presidents
are remembered as such, and so Clinton wanting to be
remembered as a great press, especially because he knew he
would have a long life post presidency, he wanted to
(12:04):
be considered a wartime president, a great, strong president, So
he was out looking for wars, and I think George W.
Bush was I think Obama wanted to appear tough, so
he got to take the credit for Osama bin Lauden,
credit that he didn't deserve. I think Biden wanted to
be considered a great president, so the and he got kickbacks.
(12:30):
So you've got in the Ukrainian situation, which if he
had his way, he would have.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Put boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
All that by way of saying, I trust President Trump's
judgment doesn't mean I'm not going to question on this
more than I would any other president.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And we'll see how this whole thing unfolds.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But this was his comment when he chose not to
attack Iran in twenty nineteen, when almost everyone around him
was pushing him into war.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
First in a busy hour, a high stakes confrontation that
came within minutes of becoming a higher stakes Conflictresident Trump
gave the goal order Thursday for strikes targeting Iranian missile
batteries and radar installations, and then, with just minutes to spare,
he aborted the mission. The president says he decided in
the end it was not proportional. Everybody was saying I'm
(13:14):
a war bonger, and now they say I'm a dove,
and I think I'm neither.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Do you want to know the truth.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm a man with common sense, and that's what we
need in this country's common sense.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But I didn't like the idea of.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Them knowingly shooting down an un men's throne and then.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We kill one hundred and fifty people. I didn't like that.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Now we know the president's top national security advisors favored
the targeted strikes, and those competing views are on public
display today. And his remarks to reporters yesterday, the President
said he was confident and sanctions against Iran were working,
even held out hope they would eventually come back to
the bargaining table to negotiate a new nuclear deal. But
in Israel today, listen here the Trump National Security Advisor
John Bolton, striking a more hawkish tone.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Neither Iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake US
prudence and discretion for weakness. No one has granted them
a hunting license in the Middle East. And as he
made clear yesterday, referring to his earlier remarks, the President said,
I just stopped the strike from going forward at this time.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
And so when you watch this play out, especially, it's
a known fact that the Secretary of State, the National
Security Advisor, or the Vice president told the President they
thought this was a good plan targeted strikes. They said,
go for it. The President pulls back. You have a
Republican party. Imagine if President Obama had done this well.
President Obama did not enforce his red line in Seria,
for example, and the Republicans were harshly critical, saying, you.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Make America look weak.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Listen to one Republican here, we know how hawkish she
is in her heart, Liz Cheney, the daughter of the
former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
If you know, Iran thinks that it can demonstrate to
the world that somehow it's able to take advantage of
the United States, that it's able to attack and destroy
one of our drones without any consequence, or with the
only consequence being that we now asked to speak to them.
I think that that's very dangerous.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
The President was asked also yesterday as he was.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Borning the helicopter for Kim David.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
If the threat to civilian life had been less than
one hundred and fifteen, if it had been ten or
fifteen people, would you then have been more comfortable with
the strike?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And he started to pause and said, not necessarily.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
He suggested that unless there's human casualties, unless there's US
or allied human life on the line, he just doesn't
have the appetite for this.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
There's more to like on Facebook, like the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
If you heard that clip from twenty nineteen in our
last segment.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You heard then Congressman Liz.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Cheney, Republican from Wyoming, living off her daddy's name, and
you heard her goading Trump to go to war with Iran.
Do you ever notice that the biggest warhawks in the
(16:11):
Republican Party are the people who've done the most damage
to Donald Trump. Do you ever notice that? Do you
ever notice that all the folks who love war are
the folks who opposed Donald Trump the most and who
(16:33):
sought to defeat him. Do you ever wonder why they
hate Trump because he's arrogant? We're told, you know how
many arrogant people there are in politics. It's not because
he's arrogant. Trump is a threat to the neocons who
(16:55):
love war because they live off war a number of
different ways. They are the very people that Washington warned
us about in his farewell address and that Eisenhower warned
us about in his farewell address, both men of war,
(17:18):
both men respected and admired for their prowess in war, who,
as they walked out of the office of their civilian job,
warned about the war bongers. Make no mistake, there are
extraordinarily powerful, nefarious sneaky, clandestine interests who want continuous war.
(17:55):
But just like liberals and their USAID for instance, just
like most everything else they do that is evil, they
don't say I want evil because I profit from it.
They say this is patriotic. If you don't support what
(18:19):
I'm doing, you don't support America.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Your week, you're weak and I'm strong.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Let's take the man who's having a worgasm on TV
every day, Lindsey Gramnesty. This is a guy who's been
wrong on almost every policy. This is a guy who
who talked Marco Rubio, who had real bona fides in
the Tea Party, into the Gang of Six. Remember that
(18:52):
the Republicans who are going to lead the charge on
amnesty for illegals because only only Nixon could go to China.
The Republicans were going to show leadership and bring a
bunch of illegals into the country and make it all okay,
because only the Republicans could convince Americans that was a
good idea. That destroyed Marco Rubil. He's still trying to
(19:14):
crawl out of the hole that caused him. But never
forget that was Lindsey Grammesty who was doing that. Never
forget how Lindsey Grahmtescy turned on Trump as Trump was
walking out the door and Grahmnesty thought he didn't have
to kiss his ring anymore. Well, you watch him on
TV last night. He was on Fox last night or
the night before, his worgasm over over this this Iran thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It is at a level I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's it's very odd to watch him on television engaged
in this self.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Pleasure, shall we say?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I want to make sure you hear what he said
about sending your boys to war, because I think I
think this should be a moment that everyone says, wait a.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Minute, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Lindsey Gramnesty has been for it, just like John Bolton,
every time something happens in the world, we need to
go to war. Boots on the ground, boys getting killed,
body bags coming home.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
They love to talk a minute sorry, They love to
talk tough. They love to be.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
The guy that they're the one that's tough. Everybody else
is weak. It's not tough to send somebody else's son
to war. It's not tough to dishonor our troops by
sending them into places where they cannot win. They're not
giving the tools or the manual to win. Did we
(20:56):
win in Afghanistan? Did we win an I rack? Did
we win in Vietnam? A lot of families were destroyed,
a lot of beautiful, young, promising lives were lost for
what A lot of lies were told. Here's Lindsey grahmersty
(21:16):
having his wargasm on TV.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
Lessening the men and women who serve. They're the ones going,
not people answering the poll. And if you ask them,
would you be willing to risk your life to stop
the Ietola from having a nuclear weapon? All of them
would say yes because it makes their country, Our country
is safer. So we live in a world where you
got to confront problems you want to avoid World War three,
(21:38):
learn the lessons from World War two. People in World
War Two appeased Hitler to the point that it got
so much out of hand. We had a world war
and sixty million people got killed.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So we live in a world where you pay now
or you pay later.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Let's stop this threat before he gets a nuclear weapon.
Let's end this reign of terror. Let's do it now.
It's not going to take twenty mone But I can't
guarantee you your freedom and your safety unless we're willing to.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Fight for it.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
I can guarantee you this. If we don't fight for
our freedom, we will lose it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We aren't fighting for our freedom. Lengthy other people's boys
are Do you have one? Are you sending him? Why
don't you? It's the weirdest open secret in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That this guy weird as he.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is, is on television as often as LN. And then
there's old Walrus John Bolton, And you listen to these guys,
all they ever do is cheerlead for war.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're chickenhawks.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's the same mindset that dragged us into Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
How about instead of.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Comparing to the war that ended eighty years ago, you
compared to the one that was going on during my lifetime.
Isn't it interesting? All the lessons that can be learned
from World War Two but nothing from Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Don't you find that odd?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Folks?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What about Afghanistan? What about Iraq? What about our regime
change in Libya? And since we're drawing comparisons to historical principles,
how about the fact that we were assured there were
weapons of mass destruction?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh, I, like the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I didn't figure they'd lie to us, No way they
would lie to us.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Remember, we had to go to war in Iraq.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
We had to battle them there so we wouldn't have
to battle them here. But that's not what happened, is it.
We sent our boys over there and a lot of
them didn't come home.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Did that make us safer?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Did it?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Bizarre? Of talk radio The Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The US Attorney for California is a reminder that not
every California is a bad person. Sadly, there's some really
good people stuck in a state governed by its liberal minority.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Some real nuts.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
But President Trump's US Attorney Bill A Sale is making waves.
He's making a name for himself with his actions. He
and the FBI Los Angeles Field Office, as well as
the IRS say they are now investigating who is funding
(24:52):
the terror attacks because that's what they are in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They don't use the word terror attacks. I do. He's
the story.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
The right to assemble and protest peacefully is protected by law. Unfortunately,
we have seen individuals whose intentions are to cause.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Damage and to assault law enforcement.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
For example, last week, we arrested an individual who is
charged with conspiracy to commit and aiding and embedding civil disorders.
These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
The FBI and of federal partners will continue to investigate
individuals and organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts
of violence against law enforcement, as well as the destruction
of property.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
We are currently tracing money to determine who is providing
funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the criminals,
it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled into illegal
operations fuels violence, undermines law and order, and perpetuates fear.
Make no mistake, we will identify and disrupt financial network
supporting these criminal activities.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Think before you act.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
The legal consequences for financing or aiding and abetting these
crimes are harsh. They include imprisonment and fights.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now I like the idea of cutting off the head
of the snake. I do, but I'm going to tell
you there is an increasing frustration among everyone except the
(26:28):
most diehard Trump fan with the lack of hard, concrete results,
and I think that ends up hurting us.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
The ends up hurting us in the midterms.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I'm not unrealistic, I understand, particularly when it comes to
prosecuting cases, it's a lot easier to spot what's going
on than it is to arrest somebody and make the case.
In fact, the January sixth protesters, almost all of them
(27:12):
were not arrested and charged until a year.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Later, then moved on with their lives.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
What the government was doing was building a fictitious case.
So that when they brought them they.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Could hopefully, they thought, convict them.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It takes time to do that, so I understand you
can't do these things overnight. But I am noticing a
bubbling up from the grassroots feeling that we need results,
we want results. And I'll tell you some of the
(27:56):
places where I've seen it. The Epstein list. People want
that list released. They expected that list would have been
released by now. Pam Bondy, the Attorney General you will remember,
(28:18):
said I've got the list.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
On my desk.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I just need to run it through and make sure
there are no national security secrets, and we're going to
release it. And then she said, we're releasing it today.
And they didn't release it today. They brought some influencers
in who were shown receiving the packet, the binder of documents,
(28:47):
and they dutifully tweeted, we got the binder, okay, show
us And eventually they did, and it was pages of
black marker, having marked everything out. Ever so often you
(29:08):
would see an article in there like the or you
might see a b verb is are I mean? That
would be the only word on the page you could read.
And here's the deal. Trump has earned the respect of
(29:30):
people who have witnessed what he did to get elected,
how he suffered through four years of torment from media, Democrats,
law enforcement. How for the following four years after the
election was stolen from him, he got back up. They
tried to bankrupt him. None of the lawfair happens if
(29:52):
he doesn't run, If he announces he's done with public life,
they would have left him alone forever. I'm certain of that.
So for him to continue to run, he knew they
would torment him and his family. The man was shot
in the head. Let's not forget that he was dragged
into courtrooms. They raided his wife's painty drawer at mar
(30:13):
A Lago. By the way, our trip to mar A
Lago has been set our trip to Palm Beach. There
is a mar A Lago event as part of that
for the end of October, if you are interested in
details and joining in some listener trips. The third time
we've done Palm Beach a whole lot of fun. That
is the second to last weekend in October. Since most
(30:35):
of our folks not all, will be from Texas, I
had to pick a weekend where the University of Texas
neither the University of Texas, nor Texas A and M
would be playing a home game, because would that would
be a big conflict for Texas folks, much as it
would be in Alabama for Crimson Tide or Auburn fans.
(30:57):
If you're interested in going, just send me an email
through the website Berryshow dot com. And while you are
at the website Michael Berryshow dot com, sign up for
our daily Blast, especially if you don't get to hear
the morning show. That's where we tell you what we
talked about in the morning show. We'll send a funny
meme every day. We'll do links to articles we talk
about and other things. And as a reminder, I never
(31:18):
have and I never will share your email address or
sell your email address the way some folks do. I
don't harvest information and then turn around and sell it
just because people would love to buy it. I think
that's evil. You trusted me, you sent me an email,
you sign up for our blast. We're not ever ever
(31:38):
going to sacrifice that, no matter what the pay is.
I wish cell phone companies would have that approach. I
wish grocery store I wish retail companies would have that approach.
I wish there was a way to ring the neck
of the people who take our private information when we
buy things or sign up for things. It's amazing to
(31:59):
me how many businesses now are simply a front for
harvesting information to sell lists. You know, it's becoming the
case that for a number of businesses that's their primary
source of income. And by the way, signing people up
for credit cards and selling credit that is for a
(32:19):
lot of retail stores where they make most of their money.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Now it's not the product to sell
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
On the air, and I said I would never leave you,
but you never will.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I've got a job to do too where I'm going.
You can't follow what I've got to do. You can't
be any part of it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm not good at being noble, but it doesn't take
much to see that the problems of three little people
don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Someday you'll understand that he's looking at your kidding. Will you.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Don't let you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pass you?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
My gardener didn't show up, my housekeeper didn't show up.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this
is not gonna just happen in LA.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
And you one percenters that only voted for Trump because
of money.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Guess what You're gonna have to do your own dishes,
or clean your own house or mowing your own lawn
and owe that wonderful produce, the organic produce you get
for your brunches and all gone. Yeah, you're gonna actually
have to do some work around your house. These people
are important.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Will you.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Up?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
We can't let them scapegoat and criminalize immigrants who contribute.
Who are our neighbors, our friends, our church goers, our community.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Around us that we deeply love. Immigrants are us.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Immigrants are us, and we all deserve respect and dignity.
If you look at the food that's on your table,
think about who picked it. If you look at your homes,
think about who built them. If you look at your
vulnerable elders and.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Your kids, think about who's taken care of that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Let you.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Watched any news programming over the last couple of days,
including throughout the course of today, you know that it's
a very precarious situation in Israel and Iran. I was
watching the situation in Tel Aviv today and I think
(03:26):
to myself, Wow, what an awful, awful thing is war?
What an awful thing. The people who suffer the most
are the people who don't choose the war, and that's unfortunate.
(03:50):
And then I think about, you know, I'm an eighteen
and nineteen year old. I think about things I never
thought about before. The great letter from Abraham Lincoln to
missus Bixby, so beautifully expressing that his words could not
(04:10):
sage her guilt, her guilt, that his words could not
sage her grief, and it turned out that she had
not lost all her boys to war, but the War
Department at that point thought that they had, and there
were no real time records to fact check. But that
letter addressing this woman who had made such a sacrifice
(04:31):
for her nation, and I feel for the Irani people,
the people who hate the Ayatola. It's like Californians. It's
like conservatives in California. There are plenty of people who
live in California who hate what's going on and are
(04:51):
working very hard.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
To elect better people.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They didn't vote for Karen Bass, they didn't vote for
Gavin Newsom, and many of them have voted with their
feet and moved to Texas, just as many New Yorkers
have moved have voted with their feet and moved to Florida,
not just because of better weather, because of better policies.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There is uh, there's.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
A moment in twenty nineteen then President Trump Trump one
point zero. I talked a little bit about this yesterday,
but I had a number of you reach out and
say I didn't remember that, And I think it's very important.
(05:41):
President Trump was going to attack Iran, and he was
he was being goaded by John Bolton Mike Pompeo and
Mike Pence. The military industrial complex was pushing him very
hard to do that, and he was going to do it,
(06:07):
and at the last moment he changed his mind. He
went with his gut. Now, President Trump made a number
of mistakes in his first term.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That he learned.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
From, and one of them was, don't trust the swamp.
They will always always betray you, and they will take
each other's side, never yours. They're not loyal, they don't
(06:40):
have the best interests of this country in mind, and
they certainly don't have the best interest of him in mind.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
And he learned that.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
He learned that by the betrayals of some of the
people he put into office, some of the cabinet picks,
some of his attempts to do things to show, hey,
I can work with you guys, we can get some
things done.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You don't have to you don't have to fear me.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Some of those things allowed those those with out put
you know, kaka roaches to get inside the White House
and do him great harm. He tried to work with
Jim Comey, he did. He tried to work with with
the then leadership of the r n C. He tried
to work with a number of people who betrayed him,
(07:31):
but he did not. He did not attack Iran, and
he gave us as only Trump can do. It was
sort of a he's walking to the plane or walking
back from the plane.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I forget.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
He just walks over, as you know, everybody's getting ready
to leave, and he walks over and just starts talking
to the press. Biden could never do that, I don't
Obama couldn't do that. Bush couldn't do that. And he
goes over and he says, you know, first y'all, call
y'all said I was going to cause the next war,
and now you tell me I'm a dove. Well that
(08:07):
you're a dove. Comment was coming from the swamp in.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The deep state.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And my worry is those elements are still present and
they're still operating as they always have.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The guitars, cigars and a few thoughts from Bizarre on Michael.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It is Paul McCartney's birthday and Ramona is queer for
Paul McCartney, so I suspect there will probably be a
lot of Sir Paul audio used today. So I laid
out the situation of where Trump was and he chose
not to bomb Iran, and here was what he said
at the time. Now before you listen, after he decides
(08:53):
not to attack Iran, remember they they've taken down an
unman drone. At this point, they've been rather aggressive toward us,
and there was an outpouring of support. Look, I am
an anti war guy, but I will admit, like every
(09:13):
other guy, I like to watch crash.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Him up Derby.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I like to watch buildings demolished, and I like to
see our war arsenal, you know, blowing stuff up. That's cool.
I admit it's you know, there's a proud American in me.
You know, play some lead greenwood, and you know, I'll
cheer like the like the next guy. But there are deeper,
long term consequences to these sorts of things, and there's
(09:41):
real collateral damage to real Americans as a result of
these sorts of things. You don't you don't just walk
away from that. So the fact that I think the
President is circumspect in not doing that and was in
twenty nineteen gives me a lot more. I am not
(10:02):
what I call a Trump Pumper. I don't think that
if you know, if Trump falls down, I don't think
see he falls down better than anybody, because I don't
put any man above country, even Donald Trump. My support
and praise for Donald Trump is because of the job
he does, and when I don't agree with something he does,
(10:25):
I will say it, and I do understand it. There
are a number of Trump supporters, including in our audience,
who don't ever want that set and you're an awful person.
You should worship Trump because they do, and that's fine.
You're free to do that. He has earned that level
of trust and respect from people by being better than
the past presidents and earning the level of loyalty of
(10:50):
a cult like following.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
He earned that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I give him that. That's not me, that is other people.
But that's perfectly fine. I am not in that category.
But when I tell you or so, when I tell
you that, I trust his judgment more than I would
any other president of my lifetime with regard to American
involvement in Iran, to whatever extent that ends up being,
(11:17):
I'm going to give him a lot more slack than
I would anybody else.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think George W.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Bush was being led around by Dick Cheney, and I
think Cheney told him this will make you look tough,
this will make the base love you people love a
president in a time of war. Bill Clinton would, in
asides with his staff, lament the fact that he couldn't
(11:44):
be a wartime president because all the great presidents are
known for the wars in which they served. Wartime presidents
are remembered as such, and so Clinton wanting to be
remembered as a great press, especially because he knew he
would have a long life post presidency, he wanted to
(12:04):
be considered a wartime president, a great, strong president, So
he was out looking for wars, and I think George W.
Bush was I think Obama wanted to appear tough, so
he got to take the credit for Osama bin Lauden,
credit that he didn't deserve. I think Biden wanted to
be considered a great president, so the and he got kickbacks.
(12:30):
So you've got in the Ukrainian situation, which if he
had his way, he would have.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Put boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
All that by way of saying, I trust President Trump's
judgment doesn't mean I'm not going to question on this
more than I would any other president.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And we'll see how this whole thing unfolds.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But this was his comment when he chose not to
attack Iran in twenty nineteen, when almost everyone around him
was pushing him into war.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
First in a busy hour, a high stakes confrontation that
came within minutes of becoming a higher stakes Conflictresident Trump
gave the goal order Thursday for strikes targeting Iranian missile
batteries and radar installations, and then, with just minutes to spare,
he aborted the mission. The president says he decided in
the end it was not proportional. Everybody was saying I'm
(13:14):
a war bonger, and now they say I'm a dove,
and I think I'm neither.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Do you want to know the truth.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm a man with common sense, and that's what we
need in this country's common sense.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But I didn't like the idea of.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Them knowingly shooting down an un men's throne and then.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We kill one hundred and fifty people. I didn't like that.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Now we know the president's top national security advisors favored
the targeted strikes, and those competing views are on public
display today. And his remarks to reporters yesterday, the President
said he was confident and sanctions against Iran were working,
even held out hope they would eventually come back to
the bargaining table to negotiate a new nuclear deal. But
in Israel today, listen here the Trump National Security Advisor
John Bolton, striking a more hawkish tone.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Neither Iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake US
prudence and discretion for weakness. No one has granted them
a hunting license in the Middle East. And as he
made clear yesterday, referring to his earlier remarks, the President said,
I just stopped the strike from going forward at this time.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
And so when you watch this play out, especially, it's
a known fact that the Secretary of State, the National
Security Advisor, or the Vice president told the President they
thought this was a good plan targeted strikes. They said,
go for it. The President pulls back. You have a
Republican party. Imagine if President Obama had done this well.
President Obama did not enforce his red line in Seria,
for example, and the Republicans were harshly critical, saying, you.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Make America look weak.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Listen to one Republican here, we know how hawkish she
is in her heart, Liz Cheney, the daughter of the
former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
If you know, Iran thinks that it can demonstrate to
the world that somehow it's able to take advantage of
the United States, that it's able to attack and destroy
one of our drones without any consequence, or with the
only consequence being that we now asked to speak to them.
I think that that's very dangerous.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
The President was asked also yesterday as he was.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Borning the helicopter for Kim David.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
If the threat to civilian life had been less than
one hundred and fifteen, if it had been ten or
fifteen people, would you then have been more comfortable with
the strike?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And he started to pause and said, not necessarily.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
He suggested that unless there's human casualties, unless there's US
or allied human life on the line, he just doesn't
have the appetite for this.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
There's more to like on Facebook, like the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
If you heard that clip from twenty nineteen in our
last segment.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You heard then Congressman Liz.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Cheney, Republican from Wyoming, living off her daddy's name, and
you heard her goading Trump to go to war with Iran.
Do you ever notice that the biggest warhawks in the
(16:11):
Republican Party are the people who've done the most damage
to Donald Trump. Do you ever notice that? Do you
ever notice that all the folks who love war are
the folks who opposed Donald Trump the most and who
(16:33):
sought to defeat him. Do you ever wonder why they
hate Trump because he's arrogant? We're told, you know how
many arrogant people there are in politics. It's not because
he's arrogant. Trump is a threat to the neocons who
(16:55):
love war because they live off war a number of
different ways. They are the very people that Washington warned
us about in his farewell address and that Eisenhower warned
us about in his farewell address, both men of war,
(17:18):
both men respected and admired for their prowess in war, who,
as they walked out of the office of their civilian job,
warned about the war bongers. Make no mistake, there are
extraordinarily powerful, nefarious sneaky, clandestine interests who want continuous war.
(17:55):
But just like liberals and their USAID for instance, just
like most everything else they do that is evil, they
don't say I want evil because I profit from it.
They say this is patriotic. If you don't support what
(18:19):
I'm doing, you don't support America.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Your week, you're weak and I'm strong.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Let's take the man who's having a worgasm on TV
every day, Lindsey Gramnesty. This is a guy who's been
wrong on almost every policy. This is a guy who
who talked Marco Rubio, who had real bona fides in
the Tea Party, into the Gang of Six. Remember that
(18:52):
the Republicans who are going to lead the charge on
amnesty for illegals because only only Nixon could go to China.
The Republicans were going to show leadership and bring a
bunch of illegals into the country and make it all okay,
because only the Republicans could convince Americans that was a
good idea. That destroyed Marco Rubil. He's still trying to
(19:14):
crawl out of the hole that caused him. But never
forget that was Lindsey Grammesty who was doing that. Never
forget how Lindsey Grahmtescy turned on Trump as Trump was
walking out the door and Grahmnesty thought he didn't have
to kiss his ring anymore. Well, you watch him on
TV last night. He was on Fox last night or
the night before, his worgasm over over this this Iran thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It is at a level I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's it's very odd to watch him on television engaged
in this self.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Pleasure, shall we say?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I want to make sure you hear what he said
about sending your boys to war, because I think I
think this should be a moment that everyone says, wait a.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Minute, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Lindsey Gramnesty has been for it, just like John Bolton,
every time something happens in the world, we need to
go to war. Boots on the ground, boys getting killed,
body bags coming home.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
They love to talk a minute sorry, They love to
talk tough. They love to be.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
The guy that they're the one that's tough. Everybody else
is weak. It's not tough to send somebody else's son
to war. It's not tough to dishonor our troops by
sending them into places where they cannot win. They're not
giving the tools or the manual to win. Did we
(20:56):
win in Afghanistan? Did we win an I rack? Did
we win in Vietnam? A lot of families were destroyed,
a lot of beautiful, young, promising lives were lost for
what A lot of lies were told. Here's Lindsey grahmersty
(21:16):
having his wargasm on TV.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
Lessening the men and women who serve. They're the ones going,
not people answering the poll. And if you ask them,
would you be willing to risk your life to stop
the Ietola from having a nuclear weapon? All of them
would say yes because it makes their country, Our country
is safer. So we live in a world where you
got to confront problems you want to avoid World War three,
(21:38):
learn the lessons from World War two. People in World
War Two appeased Hitler to the point that it got
so much out of hand. We had a world war
and sixty million people got killed.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So we live in a world where you pay now
or you pay later.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Let's stop this threat before he gets a nuclear weapon.
Let's end this reign of terror. Let's do it now.
It's not going to take twenty mone But I can't
guarantee you your freedom and your safety unless we're willing to.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Fight for it.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
I can guarantee you this. If we don't fight for
our freedom, we will lose it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We aren't fighting for our freedom. Lengthy other people's boys
are Do you have one? Are you sending him? Why
don't you? It's the weirdest open secret in the entire country.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That this guy weird as he.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is, is on television as often as LN. And then
there's old Walrus John Bolton, And you listen to these guys,
all they ever do is cheerlead for war.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're chickenhawks.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's the same mindset that dragged us into Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
How about instead of.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Comparing to the war that ended eighty years ago, you
compared to the one that was going on during my lifetime.
Isn't it interesting? All the lessons that can be learned
from World War Two but nothing from Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Don't you find that odd?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Folks?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What about Afghanistan? What about Iraq? What about our regime
change in Libya? And since we're drawing comparisons to historical principles,
how about the fact that we were assured there were
weapons of mass destruction?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh, I, like the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I didn't figure they'd lie to us, No way they
would lie to us.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Remember, we had to go to war in Iraq.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
We had to battle them there so we wouldn't have
to battle them here. But that's not what happened, is it.
We sent our boys over there and a lot of
them didn't come home.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Did that make us safer?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Did it?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Bizarre? Of talk radio The Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
The US Attorney for California is a reminder that not
every California is a bad person. Sadly, there's some really
good people stuck in a state governed by its liberal minority.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Some real nuts.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
But President Trump's US Attorney Bill A Sale is making waves.
He's making a name for himself with his actions. He
and the FBI Los Angeles Field Office, as well as
the IRS say they are now investigating who is funding
(24:52):
the terror attacks because that's what they are in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They don't use the word terror attacks. I do. He's
the story.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
The right to assemble and protest peacefully is protected by law. Unfortunately,
we have seen individuals whose intentions are to cause.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Damage and to assault law enforcement.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
For example, last week, we arrested an individual who is
charged with conspiracy to commit and aiding and embedding civil disorders.
These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
The FBI and of federal partners will continue to investigate
individuals and organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts
of violence against law enforcement, as well as the destruction
of property.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
We are currently tracing money to determine who is providing
funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the criminals,
it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled into illegal
operations fuels violence, undermines law and order, and perpetuates fear.
Make no mistake, we will identify and disrupt financial network
supporting these criminal activities.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Think before you act.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
The legal consequences for financing or aiding and abetting these
crimes are harsh. They include imprisonment and fights.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now I like the idea of cutting off the head
of the snake. I do, but I'm going to tell
you there is an increasing frustration among everyone except the
(26:28):
most diehard Trump fan with the lack of hard, concrete results,
and I think that ends up hurting us.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
The ends up hurting us in the midterms.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I'm not unrealistic, I understand, particularly when it comes to
prosecuting cases, it's a lot easier to spot what's going
on than it is to arrest somebody and make the case.
In fact, the January sixth protesters, almost all of them
(27:12):
were not arrested and charged until a year.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Later, then moved on with their lives.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
What the government was doing was building a fictitious case.
So that when they brought them they.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Could hopefully, they thought, convict them.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
It takes time to do that, so I understand you
can't do these things overnight. But I am noticing a
bubbling up from the grassroots feeling that we need results,
we want results. And I'll tell you some of the
(27:56):
places where I've seen it. The Epstein list. People want
that list released. They expected that list would have been
released by now. Pam Bondy, the Attorney General you will remember,
(28:18):
said I've got the list.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
On my desk.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I just need to run it through and make sure
there are no national security secrets, and we're going to
release it. And then she said, we're releasing it today.
And they didn't release it today. They brought some influencers
in who were shown receiving the packet, the binder of documents,
(28:47):
and they dutifully tweeted, we got the binder, okay, show
us And eventually they did, and it was pages of
black marker, having marked everything out. Ever so often you
(29:08):
would see an article in there like the or you
might see a b verb is are I mean? That
would be the only word on the page you could read.
And here's the deal. Trump has earned the respect of
(29:30):
people who have witnessed what he did to get elected,
how he suffered through four years of torment from media, Democrats,
law enforcement. How for the following four years after the
election was stolen from him, he got back up. They
tried to bankrupt him. None of the lawfair happens if
(29:52):
he doesn't run, If he announces he's done with public life,
they would have left him alone forever. I'm certain of that.
So for him to continue to run, he knew they
would torment him and his family. The man was shot
in the head. Let's not forget that he was dragged
into courtrooms. They raided his wife's painty drawer at mar
(30:13):
A Lago. By the way, our trip to mar A
Lago has been set our trip to Palm Beach. There
is a mar A Lago event as part of that
for the end of October, if you are interested in
details and joining in some listener trips. The third time
we've done Palm Beach a whole lot of fun. That
is the second to last weekend in October. Since most
(30:35):
of our folks not all, will be from Texas, I
had to pick a weekend where the University of Texas
neither the University of Texas, nor Texas A and M
would be playing a home game, because would that would
be a big conflict for Texas folks, much as it
would be in Alabama for Crimson Tide or Auburn fans.
