Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and lud.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Vari Show is on the air.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
To win with every single facet. We're gonna win so much.
You may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, please, please,
it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore, mister President,
it's too much.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
And I'll say, no, it isn't.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
We have to keep winning.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
We have to win more. We're gonna win more.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
We're gonna win so much.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
What how much we've been collecting in revenues. And I
did this in part because Wilfrid's here and he can talk.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
About the UK trade deal.

Speaker 6 (00:47):
But just this is the monthly numbers, and they have
gone up a lot. June is actually set for another
big increase of twenty seven billion. That is money coming
into US coffers from tariffs are collecting a lot of revenue.
So far, Guys one hundred and twenty one billion dollars
has slowed into the US government since the start of
the first year.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
It's still a.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Tiny portion of the overall revenues that the US government gets,
but it's increasingly a lot. Especially we haven't seen it
in terms of the consumer paying off higher inflation.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
He is able to go to the trading partners and say, look,
I am happy to take in this tariff income.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
If you don't want to negotiate. This is a high rate.

Speaker 7 (01:27):
But the US is taking a massive amounts of tariff income.
We had the first June budget surplus since twenty fifteen
last month. We reported it this month, and so we
are taking in substantial income. So President Trump is creating
this leverage by saying, if you don't want to negotiate

(01:50):
with me, I've sent.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
You a letter with a high rate. You have at
the high rate or.

Speaker 7 (01:55):
Income, and negotiate in better fashion.

Speaker 8 (01:59):
Talk about event full times. President Trump at his best
was it's amazing. Trump every day is doing something more grand,
more spectacular. I mean, I'm not tired of winning, don't
get me wrong, but I'm exhausted just keeping up with him.

(02:20):
And he's damn near eighty years old.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
No worry. You gotta have good people around you. But
do you notice.

Speaker 8 (02:31):
That there's very little else in the news other than Trump.
There are still other things going on. He has an
incredible ability to suck the oxygen out of the room
for himself and what he's doing. It's why when he
was running in twenty sixteen. Nobody could make any ground

(02:52):
on him because Trump dominates the media cycle. It's incredible.
So as the king of what was once the world's
greatest empire, the sun never set on it. King Charles

(03:15):
was making videos about how great the Muslims are in
his country. It looked like a hostage fore I kept
waiting him to blink. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
Keir Starmer, visited President Trump and the amazing thing is
Trump is hosting the meeting in another country, an heir

(03:40):
to the McLeod clan, Clan MacLeod. I think it was
not lost on him that as the leader of America,
he's hosting at his palatial sixteen room estate the prime
minister of that country. So they take questions from the press.

(04:03):
This one comes from Bev Turner of gb News for
Great Britain News, and she asked President Trump about Britain's
censorship of social media posts. If you don't know, the
UK is now putting white people in prison for criticizing

(04:24):
muslim the Muslim invasion, criticizing immigration, criticizing leftist policies, not
threatening to murder people, not mustering an army to repel
the invaders simply criticizing. They are literally putting people in
prison for this. This was how President Trump right next

(04:47):
to Kirstarmer, he doesn't you remember when you were in
high school?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
He's like, you got to talk bad about me? You
talked to my face. That's what Trump does.

Speaker 9 (04:56):
The president.

Speaker 10 (04:57):
You have a successful social media site, there are new
powers here to censor your sites. States mandate sort of power.
Am I have to censor your site and Twitter and Facebook?
I mean truth is that okay?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I don't think he's I say only good things that.

Speaker 11 (05:15):
We're not censoring anyone. We've got some measures which are
there to protect children, in particular from sites like suicide sides.
We've had too many cases in the United Kingdom of
young children taking their own lives and when you look
through their social media, they've been accessing sites which talk

(05:35):
about suicide and you know, encouraging if you like, children
down that road.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
And that is what we want to stop ting about censoring.

Speaker 10 (05:44):
But that's all adults like children are proud, but that
can create all.

Speaker 11 (05:48):
In this country has been for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
We're very very proud of it.

Speaker 8 (05:52):
There is no free speech in the UK now. The
UK is landanistean. The UK has fallen under most authoritarianism.
The UK is the last gasp of a dying empire
of white Brits trying to be as kind as they
can to the Muslim power structure in hopes that they'll

(06:14):
be the last ones eaten.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
And that's a fact. So then.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
President Trump was asked if he would considering consider visiting London,
and it led to this awkward exchange.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Fan of your mayor, I think you man, I think
he's done a terrible job, the mayor of London, But
the nasty person, I think he's I think you know
he's a friend of mine Russia. No, I think he's
done a terrible job, but I would certainly visit London.

Speaker 12 (06:49):
You.

Speaker 8 (06:51):
Then, Starmer, the British leader, was asked if he was
envious of the fact that President Trump has been able.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
To secure or his border because the.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
United Kingdom has been taken over by Muslim refugees who
are now taking over the country and he's unable to
stop it.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Are you jealous? Are you envious of how President Trump
has done this?

Speaker 10 (07:15):
It makes it look easy dealing with illegal migration. You
must be envious of his record is such a short
period of time.

Speaker 11 (07:22):
Well, I think we.

Speaker 13 (07:25):
Discussing irregular illegal migration is a huge issue by our
countries in the United Kingdom. It is a real course
for concern, and that's why we must have bear down.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
The system modern day Robin.

Speaker 8 (07:51):
The left wants Trump to fail and they want America
to fail because then they can blame that on Trump.
When you hate Trump more than you love your country, boy,
that's something, isn't It reminds me of some pretty nasty

(08:12):
divorces I've watched over the years where the husband and
the wife who serve as the mother and father of.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
A child.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Will so hate their ex that it causes harm to
their child. And I think, man, the minute your hatred
of your ex exceeds you looking out for what's best
for your child, I think that's when you should step
back and ask yourself some serious questions. The media has

(08:46):
been wringing their hands over tariffs and the destruction.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
It would cause.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
It's going to be the end of America. Because Trump's
for teriffs, they have to be bad. And now they're
having to eat crow over his trade deal with the
European Union, which is a big, big deal. Charlie Kirk
posted this montage of the media giving President Trump credit
for the deal, and you can tell it's as if

(09:13):
they're gobsmacked that he could be successful.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Early reviews are in on the new trade deal announced
with the European Union.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
The Financial Time says the deal marks a victory for Trump.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Is this a fantastic deal then struck by Donald Trump?
Absolutely a victor on behalf of the Trump administration.

Speaker 9 (09:30):
So well, the bottom line is this is the biggest
trade deal in President Trump's effort to effectively reshape the
global trading order.

Speaker 14 (09:38):
On this deal the European Union, this is a big
win for the US.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
The bigger picture is that Trump is still very much.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
Pursuing his longer term goal of achieving what he seems
to be fairness for America.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Even liberal Bill Maher had to give credit where credit
is due, and I can respect that.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I remember I, along with fro most people were saying
at the beginning, oh, you know, by the fourth of July,
somebody had to think how the country was The economy
was going to be tanked by then, And I was
kind of like, well, that seems right to me, but
that didn't happen. Now it could happen tomorrow. I'm just

(10:19):
saying that's reality. So let's work first from the reality
of that, not from I just hate Donald Trump because
that's boring and doesn't get us anywhere and lead you
to dishonesty, because the truth is, I don't know what
his strategy is. But look, the stock market is a
record highs. I know not everybody is by the stock market,

(10:40):
but I also drive around. I don't see a country
in a depression at all. I see people out there
just living their lives. And I would have thought, and
I got to own it, that these tariffs were going
to sink this economy by this time, and they didn't.
So you know, how do we deal with that fact?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Because that's the fact that's true.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Here is a real world example of how tariffs help
the American worker. And by the way, I am not
generally a pro protectionism and that's what tariffs are.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Person.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
I am not a believer in the government and meddling
in the economy. I am a true free trade, classical
economics guy. Here's the problem. Let's say you are a
person of peace. You don't believe in violence. I mean,

(11:52):
it's very important to you.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
You hold dear to.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
The principle of peace, and yet someone breaks in your
home and one guy's grabbed your wife and one guys
grabbed your daughter, and you know what they're about to do.
At that moment, you are forced to confront a reality

(12:16):
that both of those savages have to be put down
in violation of your overriding principle, because your principle was
one you applied to yourself in a hypothetical environment. I
wish it were not the case that governments are controlling trade,
but they are, and our government had sold us out

(12:37):
for a very long time. That includes the Bushes, the Bidens,
the Obamas, the Clintons. They should be ashamed of themselves.
They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. It's like when
I see a mature industry it's been around for a
long time, and then an upstart company comes in and

(12:58):
they seem to be focused on the and solving problems
for the consumer and making a better experience. And then
you think, hey, you guys been around for a long time,
why didn't y'all think of that? How did y'all leave
that ground to a startup in your industry? And you
see that in every industry. So this comes from NBC
thirteen in Birmingham, Alabama. And let me just take a

(13:23):
moment and say, Birmingham, Alabama is one of my favorite
places in all of America.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Not the least because.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
Not the trees of the right highest met RHYMI because
they have been so good to us. WERC has been
consistently one of our best performing markets in the country.
And show sponsors, supporters, the programming folks, Jean Mouse, the
whole team there the fantastic.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
But listen to this.

Speaker 15 (13:55):
Smith, Tomato farmer has been a fixture here on tap
of Chandler Mountain in Saint Clair County for about sixty years.
Chessnitz says he's seen a lot of changes.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Over the years, and not in a positive direction.

Speaker 16 (14:06):
Less than twenty years ago, there was over ten farms
here on this mountain. Now there's barely five, probably gonna
be four within a couple of years, and as another
twenty years goes by, there's gonna be less and lesson.

Speaker 15 (14:20):
Blake Faxon with the Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Blowers Association,
says the US agreement with Mexico, first set in the
late nineties, was meant to protect US farmers, but it
wasn't working.

Speaker 9 (14:29):
There's been loopholes that the Mexican tomato producers have taken
advantage of and continue to price dump or lower the
prices beyond below the cost of production here in the
United States and in Alabama.

Speaker 16 (14:43):
If they send the tomatoes over and it's supposed to
be a set price and they need to move tomatoes, well,
they may just give a load of bell pepper for
free for them to take the tomatoes. So it's never
really worked.

Speaker 15 (14:54):
Now without that agreement, the US has a seventeen percent
tariff on tomatoes from Mexico, so a lot.

Speaker 16 (14:59):
Of the tomatoes will actually be going out today.

Speaker 15 (15:02):
Smith says he's already seeing a more level playing field.

Speaker 16 (15:05):
It's only been two days now and we've actually have
a lot more calls of people have an interest in
their own business. And the proces hasn't even changed the.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Food securities, nationals security, and we need to be able
to produce our own food here in the United States.

Speaker 14 (15:19):
Very brigade activate the Michael Barry Show.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
I know you've probably seen the video of a mob
of blacks attacking a white couple in Cincinnati. Then there
was a follow up with someone else who was attacked.
They were seemingly targeted. It was a music festival there,
and they were targeted and beaten. And as often happens

(15:47):
when you get these black mobs on a white person,
or for that matter, a black person, when they get
somebody on the ground, there's no honor when they get
them on the ground, they just randomly.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Throwing a kick.

Speaker 8 (16:04):
You've seen people increasingly the rage for a group, like
a group of animals savages, taking somebody to the ground,
even as the person doesn't fight back, and then continuing
to pummel, sometimes into the level of murdering them. That

(16:27):
didn't happen at that moment. That's not a seuey generous
degree of anger. That is people walking around looking for
an opportunity to hurt or kill someone. This is what
happens when you have created out of a class of
people a resentment and bitterness. This is what happens with

(16:49):
the Palestinians. This is how you have someone ripe to
strap on a bomb and walk into a an Israeli
market and blame owe everyone up. It's just the worst
curse you can put on a people, to tell him
that you're broken, you don't matter. The only thing you

(17:10):
can do of use is injure the people against whom
you have such bitterness and resentment.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
What a tragic way to go through.

Speaker 8 (17:20):
Life in the richest country in the history of mankind,
and you've got full citizenship and all you can think
to do is find someplace for you and ten other
people who have your same skin color to beat someone
to death who you don't even know. Wow, we don't
know how the situation in Cincinnati started, but it doesn't matter.

(17:41):
You see a man sucker punch and knock out a woman,
Well that's the real think about what kind of man
does that? Other people stand and watch, and then there's
a man lying on the ground while people run up
and take turns kicking him and punching him even after
he's knocked out. Cincinnati's police chief is o hag of

(18:03):
a woman. You're seeing us again and again and again,
these old white liberal women, Randy Winegarden looking women, and
they've been put into positions of the police chief.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
They have no business being there. They're political pawns.

Speaker 8 (18:20):
She's not happy, the police chief of Cincinnati, that this
video is being shared on social media and television, because
she doesn't want the world to see what's happening in Cincinnati,
But by god, she will not call out those black people.

Speaker 17 (18:34):
Another topic I want to cover real quick social media
and journalism and the role it plays in this incident.
And yes, guys, that's you, that is you. Social media.
The post that we've seen does not depict the entire incident.

(18:55):
That is one version of what occurred. At times, social
media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation
of the circumstances surrounding any given event. What that does

(19:16):
that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity
and enforcing the law because what happens that social media
post and your coverage of it distorts the content of
what actually happened, and it makes our job more difficult.

(19:37):
Go ahead, RK here, thank you to questions over had
asked office in.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
The Central Business section.

Speaker 17 (19:43):
They were working. They were both in vehicles and like
I said, they had the maneuver through the traffic.

Speaker 13 (19:48):
The second question is do.

Speaker 15 (19:49):
Is that social media as you needed to sort the
content of what actually happened?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
What exactly was distorted?

Speaker 15 (19:54):
I understand that there was one multiple views of the video,
but exactly what led up this setting?

Speaker 18 (20:00):
Well, let's distort it.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah, so I think by.

Speaker 17 (20:05):
The irresponsibility with social media is it just shows one
side of the equation quite frequently without context, without factual context,
and then people run with that, and then it grows
legs and it becomes something bigger that we then have
to try to manage as part of the investigation.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
That's a lie, And it's stupid that old hag, she
knows good and will that every single day there's somebody
black walking up and knocking somebody white to the ground
and beating them on the ground, and maybe some.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Other folks joining.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
We all know it. The thing is, we all know
what's going on in this country. It's not white people
attacking blacks. It's blacks attacking whites. Ask a black person
how much this bothers them, how embarrassing this is to
have have to watch the tribalism of other blacks jump
in and defend it. It's hard to be a good, decent, honorable,

(21:09):
honest black person today because you've got to watch this
nonsense and feel like, my god, I don't want people
to judge me on that. I'm not that way. I
know right from wrong. It's embarrassing, it's horrible. You think
this makes people want to hire black people. You think

(21:30):
this makes a guy whose white daughter is married is
dating a black guy, or who's a white son is
dating a black girl. You think it makes them think,
oh good. No, it scares people. It makes people afraid,
apprehensive because they don't know who all's involved in all this.

(21:51):
You're destroying the fabric of this country by destroying the
rule of law and making separate rules for black people.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
You're not helping. You're hurting.

Speaker 8 (22:01):
Vice President jd Vance, as he has taken a doing
of late adding some real wisdom to this issue.

Speaker 18 (22:09):
What I saw, and I haven't seen the full context.
What I saw is a mob of lawless thugs beaten
up on an innocent person, and it's disgusting. And I
hope every single one of those people who engage in
violence is prosecuted to the full extent of law.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
And they will be.

Speaker 18 (22:23):
They will be so long as law enforcement in the
state of Ohio takes their job seriously. I know Dave
Yosk cares a lot about these things, but yeah, I
actually you're right. Bertie did send me a clip of
this and we talked a little bit about it.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
I don't know the full context.

Speaker 18 (22:38):
I don't know how the fight started, but the one
part that I saw that was really gruesome is you
had a grown man who sucker punched a middle aged woman.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
And where I come from.

Speaker 18 (22:48):
At least when you have a grown man whose sucker
punch is a middle aged woman, that person ought to
go to jail for a very long time. And frankly,
he's lucky there weren't some better people around because they
would have handled it themselves.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
But they're not.

Speaker 18 (23:00):
Gonna handle it. The cops in Cincinnati, the law enforcement,
you've got to prosecute people. We've had way too much
lawlessness on the streets of Great American cities.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
How many of you all have one to go.

Speaker 18 (23:11):
To downtown Actor or downtown candor downtown Columbus for a meal,
but you're worried because the local authorities in these big
cities have allowed lawlessness.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
To run wild.

Speaker 18 (23:22):
We have got to make Great American cities safe again
for families and children. If you want to take your
wife or your children out for a meal, you shouldn't
be worried about street violence. And the only way to
destroy that street violence is to take.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
The thugs who engage in that.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Violence and throw their asses in prison.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
That's pretty good to me. You've got was a bad dude.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
The Michael Berry Show only consistently shows a Democrat brand
is at a lower level, and it's ever been. And
the very things that took them to that level are
the things that they are doubling down on now because
they are not trying to win the hearts and souls

(24:09):
of the American people. They are super serving Soros and
the overlords.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
I'll give you an example.

Speaker 8 (24:16):
New York Attorney General Letitia James, called big Tish because
she's so fat, has announced a new lawsuit against the
Trump administration. Oh so she's gonna sue Trump now, and
are you ready for this? As the lawyer for the
people of the state of New York, she is suing
the federal government to keep illegals on SNAP. She says,

(24:41):
you can't take people from other country off of the
welfare program that the people of this country pay for.
I on behalf of people from other countries who came
here and broke the law to do so.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
I will sue you for that. Oh, this is going
to go over.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
The SNAP program is a critical lifeline for tens of
millions of Americans throughout our country, and specifically two point
nine New Yorkers every day. SNAP benefits make it possible
for working families to afford to put food on the table,
and more than half of those who receive SNAP are
families with children, and more than a third have elderly
or disabled family members. Without SNAP, many families would not

(25:23):
be able to count on their next meal. For decades,
SNAP has prevented people from going hungry and save countless lives.
But now this administration is attempting to use this program
as a tool in their cruel and chaotic targeting of immigrants.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
It is outrageous, it is.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Unacceptable, and this administration has demanded that State's handover sensitive
personal information of all SNAP recipients going back to twenty twenty.
That includes addresses, social security numbers, immigration statuses, and more.
This is not for research order improve a service that
millions count on. No, they are basically trying to weaponize

(26:04):
the SNAP program against immigrant communities and violation of the law,
and we collectively will not stand for it. That is
the administration's plans, and they have made it abundantly clear.
They even removed a notice on the USDA's website that
promised people could apply for and receive SNAP benefits without

(26:25):
immigration consequences. We will not allow this life saving program
to be illegally used to hunt down immigrants and their families.
No one should fear for their safety when they seek
food assistants for their families, and this administration cannot intimidate
vulnerable families and prevent them from putting food on the table. Today,

(26:51):
Attorney General Bonta, Attorney General Dana Nessel, and I are
co leading a coalition of our fellow Democratic Attorneys general
ensuing this administration to protect SNAP and the sensitive personal
information of all of its recipients. The federal government's demand
the States turnover SNAP recipients data is flat out illegal.

(27:12):
In fact, our laws prohibit us from disclosing this SNAP
data unless it is strictly necessary for administering the program,
and in this case, it is not. This latest action
from this administration is nothing more than attempt to sow
fear and to cause chaos amongst vulnerable populations, and we

(27:34):
are suing to uphold the rule of law to protect
the sensitive personal information of everyone who receive SNAP benefits
and ensure that this administration does not use critical and
necessary food assistants to target immigrant communities.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
Americans know that their quality of life has decreased because
we can't afford to feed every person that breaks into
this country. You might have a stable household where you
keep your debt under control, you work hard, you mow
your lawn, you feed the kids, you do the homework

(28:15):
in the evening. How many people would have to break
into your home and take up residence there before you
wouldn't be able to keep up. You couldn't keep them fed,
couldn't keep them clothed, you couldn't cover the expenses.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
It wouldn't take long. And it's happened. And what if.

Speaker 8 (28:33):
Somebody then came in and said, how dare you kick
these people out? They have nowhere else to go, but
they broke in here. Well, you're a bad person for
not taking better care of them. Congressman Byron Donald's from
Florida who will be running for governor of that state

(28:54):
to replace Ron DeSantis and the next term, was on
Fox News where he had the Democrat playbook. When confronted
with the truths, they don't want to face it. That's
when they say they want to move on.

Speaker 14 (29:10):
Well, that's Democrat operating procedure. That's what they do. When
the Democrats are caught red handed, it's time to move on.
And the sad thing is the New York Times, the
Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune. They follow lockstep with
the Democrat Party and they move on. But look what
we've uncovered. Joe Biden was not running the country. That
is crystal clear. Now we know that Barack Obama actually

(29:33):
ordered a new intelligence report based upon fake information to
draw conclusion that the Russians interfered on behalf of Donald Trump.
That was a lie that is now proven. But they
want to move on and want to deflect and dissemble.
We knew that the Laptop from Hell was real, but
they wanted to lie and ignore it and move on.

(29:55):
So time and time again, the Democrats have proven they
do not believe in transparency with the Amamerican people. They
do not believe in the willoughby American voter. They will
suffert the willup voter if it means they gets to
keep our We got to uncover this stuff. It's about
the future of our country that matters more than anything else.

Speaker 8 (30:13):
Pretty clear. You know Ronald Reagan said, don't paint in pastals.
Bold colors, embrace the ways in which you are different
than the other side. This is how you do it.
Fox News reporting that the man who is suspected of

(30:35):
stabbing people at a Walmart in Michigan has at least
twenty six prior criminal cases over the past nineteen years.
These are rabid dogs. Throw them in a cage and
throw away the keys. Otherwise the rest of us have
to pay for it.

Speaker 19 (30:53):
The suspect of the Walmart attack, Rightford James Gilly, generated
at least twenty six criminal cases over the last nineteen years,
including twenty sixteen, when he was charged with disinterment and
mutilation of dead bodies, as well as malicious destruction of.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Tombs and memorials.

Speaker 19 (31:07):
The judgment was not guilty by reason of insanity. On Friday,
at five pm, Emmett County Sheriff's deputies were given a
court order to pick him up. Sheriff Matt Leerson wrote
deputies of the Emmett County Sheriff's Office spent Friday evening
patrolling and actively searching for Gilly. Unfortunately, their efforts were unsuccessful.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
The search continued Saturday.

Speaker 19 (31:26):
Just before five pm, Gilly surfaced ninety miles away allegedly
stabbing people randomly in the Traverse City Walmart.

Speaker 12 (31:33):
I think it's fair to say that anytime you have
someone that commits an incident or an act like this,
there is some sort of mental health issue.

Speaker 19 (31:41):
Involved, the sheriff says. The weapon is a three and
a half inch folding knife. A group of shoppers confronted Gilly,
one of them, Derek Perry, briefly served as a US Marine.
He pulled a gun and they held Gilly in the
parking lot of the walmart until the sheriff's deputy arrived.

Speaker 12 (31:57):
I cannot commend everyone that was involved enough.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
When you stop and.

Speaker 12 (32:02):
Look at from the time of call to the time
of actual custody, it actually was. The individual was detained
within one minute.

Speaker 19 (32:10):
Gilly is now in the Grand Traverse County Jail facing
one count of terrorism, eleven counts of assault with intent
to murder, one for each stabbing victim, and Gilly was
a reigned today. He pleaded not guilty and asked for
a court appointed attorney. As for the eleven victims, none
of them were killed, one was released today, one is
still in serious condition, two were transferred for other treatment

(32:31):
on another facility.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
The rest remain in fair condition.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah.
