The government is now officially shut down, with lawmakers on
both sides of the aisle unable to make a deal
on a funding bill.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Is it in Trump tonight threatening to fire federal workers
and to cut programs and benefits, saying he can do
things that are irreversible. I don't know if you've noticed
and how much that's affected your life. So you know,
the government is shut down, so you're supposed to care,
but nobody actually cares except the media and the politicians,
for whom we're all supposed to be really invested in
(01:24):
this game with chickens.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I'm not so.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
That was announcer at a football game MADEBCU between Florida
and M University and Alabama State University. And well, halftime
was coming up. The Alabama State University honeybees was coming
out on the field, and what this announcer saying about
those systems now the purple Center.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Who No, he did, Yes, he did. I mean, in fairness,
he probably wouldn't hurt somebody to take a shot or
two of a big old. In this case, it's a
big girls to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm ready to fight. I came for violence.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Anybody that wants to argue that John Denver is gay
or stupid, or if you have never had a moment where.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You went and sat outside in the grass and you.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Were enjoying the sun on your face and John Denver
came on and it didn't put you in a better mood,
you're dead inside.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
We're gonna had a little bit about these war houses.
Speaker 1 (02:24):

Speaker 3 (02:41):
It was on this day in nineteen ninety five that
the verdict was read in the OJ Simpson murder case.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And as you recall, O. J.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Simpson was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson
and Ronald Goldman.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Here is that audio we the jury.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
An embolved in title action find the defendant Orenthal James
Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Across the nation and around the world, virtually everyone watched.
Does judgment day came swiftly for O. J.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Simpson?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Is this your verdicts?
They'll say you once, They'll say you all.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
In New York Nicole's former lover, Keith Salamsowitch, I can't
believe it. In Los Angeles, Ronald Goldman's close friends Mike
Davis and Jeff Keller.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
That's worst possible thing that could happen.
Speaker 8 (03:35):
In San Francisco, Ojay's brother Truman Simpson.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
In October nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So I don't think it's a stretch to say everyone
knows he didn't. I mean, everyone knows he did it.
He would later write a book thinking he was being cheeky.
If I did it, here's how I would have done it,
And a number of people would say, yeah, he did it,
But there was sloppy police work. It's true part of
(04:11):
our process, due process, which is important. We support our
criminal justice system because we believe it's fair, and when
it is perceived as being unfair, then people won't support it.
And more policing is done by the citizenry than anyone
who wears a badge, and any cop will tell you
(04:32):
that that's who sends the tips, that's who informs that's
who catches people, that's who prevents crimes, that's who protects
other people. That's who serves on juries and on and
on on. So when you have a situation like this
where yes, there was sloppy police work, Yes there was
a dream team of defense lawyers and they brought in
(04:55):
their experts and people like Henry who embarrassed himself by
basically I mean that Oja was innocent, and you know
he was on TV as this forensics expert and he
got paid a lot of money for that, and that's
the way the process works, and Chris Darden and Marcia
Clark showed themselves to not really be up to the
(05:15):
task of this prosecution. And I don't think anybody doubts
that either. And you had a very very high profile,
highly publicized case. But let's leave all that aside for
a moment. You have two murders here, and we can
(05:37):
talk about what was his name, Kaylo Caitlin, what was
the guy's name, Kato Caitlin, and whether he was cool
or not. And we can talk about Mark Furman and
whether he's a racist or not. We can talk about,
you know, a number of things related to this case.
(05:58):
We can talk about how this gave us the Kardashians,
and that may be the greatest travesty at all. But
at the end of the day, a mother and a
father and another mother and a father had their children.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Murdered, and not just murdered.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
If you dig deep into the reports, if you ever
see the picture or the video of Nicole Brown Simpson's body,
it is it has been gutted.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It is the most.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Raging physical act consistent with a revenge or you know,
domestic situation.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Her head was cut almost completely off.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
The body.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So how would you like to know that your loved
one had been killed and that by pure celebrity and money.
OJ got off and I got to thinking about this,
and this has bothered me and bothered me and bothered
me all day. And then I got to thinking about something.
(07:13):
How about this? Because I think people generally as a
concept understand, Yeah, that's frustrating.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
How about this.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
To her parents and to Ron Goldman's parents, that was
their whole life. Their child was their whole life. You
might never have met Charlie Kirk, but you feel a
kinship with him right now. His death has created a revival.
His work is being studied in a way that on
(07:43):
a level that it never was before. His words are echoing,
his influence has grown exponentially. It's a powerful moment. But
imagine if you would now, if you believe in a
conspiracy theory, then you wouldn't care about this. But leave
that aside. Let's say the guy whose name I'm not
(08:04):
going to mention, who is believed or we're told, pulled
the trigger and killed Charlie Kirk. Let's say we had
much better evidence than we did in the O. J.
Simpson case, which is impossible. There was so much evidence.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Let's say you had a trial.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And he had these lawyers and everybody thought, oh, these
lawyers are so cool. And there's you know, Judge Edo
and he's he's getting to be a celebrity out of this.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
There's a clever little If the glove doesn't fit, you
have to acquit and here we go and he walks free.
Can you imagine how you would feel? Can you imagine
the anger you would have, the feeling of being wronged
that you would have. Hard to imagine. Right, We'll let
(08:53):
that sink in because it's not I was watching this
Logan Veterico case.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Have you seen this from Romness?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
This beautiful young white, blonde girl who's murdered. He makes her,
he has her stripped down neck and puts her on
her knees before he murders her. And the family's trying
to get the death penal. He had twenty five felonies.
This guy should have never been out on the streets.
He's a rabbit animal, he's a dog. I don't care
if he's black. I'm tired of people being allowed back
(09:23):
on the streets who happen to be black to murder
other people, black or white, because we've decided that we're
not going to enforce our laws because he's a victim,
because he's black. And this is ridiculous and it's absurd,
and it's making people very angry. It is a tempest
that has built up in this country. There is so
(09:44):
much anger over this. But because people cannot express that
anger without fear of being called a racist, then it
just stays underground.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, I'm going to tell you something. You keep doing that,
you keep building that anger.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You just keep playinging it down and pressing it down
and pressing it down and letting it build and pressing
it down. It doesn't go away. It has no escape valve.
And that is what the left is doing in this country.
And if we do not shatter the lid on this
pot that is steaming up and building up, we're not
(10:21):
going to like the results. And that's not a country
I or my children want to live in. We've got
to solve this by preventing this nonsense. We have to
enforce the law. We have to put the bad guys away.
We have to say no matter how much the left
screams and hollers and calls us names, it won't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
We're going to do.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
What is listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is Sexy,
Be Sexy.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Welcome to day three of the terrifying government shut down.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Ramon.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I don't know about you. These last three days, I've
just felt off. Up is down right, seems wrong? I mean,
without the government being opened, how are we going to survive?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
By God, it's day three of the government shutdown. Civilization
has collapsed. Without the government's steady hand, We're wandering aimlessly
in the wilderness. Paperwork is piling up. Permits have expired.
The DMV is silent and without attitude. This is the
(11:27):
No one knows how to regular fishing license, and so
we starve this the The Wi Fi signal has dropped
to one bar. Experts a society has minutes left.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Ah, yeah, I had a time of show.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So without a federal shoelace guideline, my left one is
technically in violation of Coach seventeen bs.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The neighborhoods are fracturing into tribes.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yhoa now requires a secret handshake and three pop tarts
just across culed a sac Wilson's next door. They've declared
themselves a sovereign nation. The Post Office has shuddered. Birthday
cards are now hand delivered by feral racoulis and old
(12:18):
ups uniforms without the FAA, planes no longer lad. They
just circle indlessly waiting for someone with a whistle. Without OSHA,
staplers are openly revolting. Without the EPA, no one knows
how to recycle. People are just tossing soda cans in
the trash like savage. Without NASA, the wound has been repossessed.
(12:43):
And without the FDA, lunchables now come with cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Nothing like some good old process meat sheeese smokeing if
you got them right, pops, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
Or squirrey entry. I got to think it was regulated.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
This is it, folks. And without the Department of Agriculture,
apples are attacking children.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Without the CDC, flu season has been upgraded to matt max.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
If Congress does not exsue, Americans will be forced to
pump their own gas.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
In New Jersey, Senator remember when Rembwoodrush would go. I
loved what he would do.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Senator Jean Shaheen of New Hampshire was on Fox News
trying to say that she's never never heard anyone in
her party wanting to give illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Taxpayer funded health care.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
What happened next was nothing short of glorious.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal
immigrants should get access to the health insurance marketplace.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Actually, have some tape of your Democratic Party member said
this on the debate. Say so, they've all said, and
let's play the cliff.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
A lot of you have been talking tonight about these
government healthcare plans that you proposed in one form or another.
This is a show of Hands's question and hold them
up for a moment so people can see, raise your
handed government if your government plan would provide coverage for
undocumented immigrants.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
Okay, Senator to that's that's literally every member of your party,
from moderate to more progressive that have said that in
the past.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Before you say that those Democrats were in a primary,
So that's why they did it. Because they were in
a primary, and politicians played to the base during the primary.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They don't really mean it. Okay, that's so weird. Defense.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But okay, the man who came out of that primary
as the Democrat candidate ran on giving health care to
illegals it was actually a pillar of his platform. It
it wasn't a glitch in the system, it was a feature.
Speaker 12 (15:03):
Part of what I'm going to send to the United
States Congress is a total immigration bill to provide a
pathway to citizenship for undocumented people in the United States
of America. This is this is it makes no sense
for us not to do that. And they're part of
the reason why we're growing. They're part of the reason
why Look, you have twenty four out of every one
(15:23):
hundred kids in grades in school today or Latino Spanish speaking.
It makes no sense, not whatsoever, for us to walk
away and not provide for access, not provide for education,
not provide for healthcare.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But what's going on and so is part of the
strength of the country. It's not a weak This is
the strength. Mind you, it was only twelve years earlier.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
This is how much the Democrats have changed that the
Democrat nominee took the exact opposite position on illegal immigration.
Speaker 9 (15:57):
I think we should have strong border security.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
It doesn't make sense for us to allow hundreds of
thousands of people coming through reporters without us knowing who
they are, oftentimes in very hazardous situations, and unmonitored situations
that could do us long term damage.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
I think we should have a serious employer.
Speaker 13 (16:22):
Verification system where employers, when they hire somebody, find out
what their work status is.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Are they able to work here legally right now?
Speaker 13 (16:34):
What employers will say is, well, we check their Social
Security card. That's the best we can do. So we've
got to set up a tamper proof system and then
hold employers accountable. You pay a fine, you learn English,
you stay out of trouble, you've got a job. You
go to the back of the line so that those
who came here legally, that backlock is cleared before you
(16:54):
have opportunities for citizenship.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
That is a.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
Reasonable approach and one that will ultimately address the biggest
problem for American workers, and that is the depressive effect
of undocumented workers who aren't right now subject to oftentimes
minimum wage laws or worker safety laws or all the
other things that make them cheaper.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
For employers.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
If they're out of the shadows, then we can make
sure those laws are enforced and those costs advantages for
hiring a document workers go away.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
President Trump was on a network called an when he
said federal workers could be fired during the shutdown good.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
There is an O and B memo going around suggesting
that there might be firings during the shutdown.
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Do you think that will happen if the shutdown goes
for a little bit of time, sir.
Speaker 15 (17:45):
Well, there could be firings, and that's their fault, and
it could also be other things.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
I mean, we could.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and they'd be
permanently cut. So you could say a lot of people
are saying Trump wanted this, that I wanted this claws in.
I didn't want it, but a lot of people are
saying it because I'm allowed to cut things that should
have never been approved in the first place, and I
will probably do.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That, you know, on that subject. Hold on just a second.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Here, I read yesterday about how much federal employees are
here we go, here we go. The average private sector
worker that's you, earns sixty five thousand dollars in this country.
The average federal employee earns one hundred six thousand dollars.
(18:36):
That's forty percent more, and typically they're working shorter, fewer hours,
and getting a better benefit package. Even state and local
government employees average eighty two thousand. So guess what when
one hundred thousand federal employees resigned this week.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
We cheered.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
We've got a federal workforce of nearly three million. That's
larger than Amazon and Walmart combined.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
What in the hell are they doing.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Issuing social Security checks a fix an AI program and
mail that stuff or digitally drop it into people's accounts.
This is ridiculous and a waste, and we're tired of
paying for it.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So yeah, that's what you're seeing. Everybody knows who this
guy is.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Come on, man with the Michael Berry, Come on.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Joe Biden allowed tens of millions of people to float
across the border and then incentivize those in the Social
Security Administration to give them benefits. We were inducing them,
we were begging them to come. You know, it's like
Black Friday and saying, hey, everything is going to be
free inside the Walmart. Of course, there's going to be
(19:52):
a crush of people at the door. This is a
whistleblower from the Social Security Administration who came forward and
told Josh Tom that they were qualifying illegals for long
term disability and Social Security for life.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
You my friends were paying for it.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
They wanted us to try to identify them in such
a way that they would qualify for long term SOB
security disability. Now yeah, and long long term security disabilities
for life. So if they get identified and qualified for
long term security disability, they are as good as set
(20:30):
up for life for medical treatment.
Speaker 14 (20:31):
That doesn't sound like a refugee to me, just being honest.
That sounds like somebody who's planning on staying here. Yes,
stays until the problems over and then goes on.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
And so.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
They instructed us to try to identify, to try to
get the client because once they arrive here where they're
now called clients, they're now called clients, okay, because clients
pay sure.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Sure, And so so.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They that we needed to talk to the client and
ask them if they'd had any headaches, recurring headaches, or
any lower back problems, excuse me, anything that would qualify
them for so security long term disability.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Wait wait hold wait wait wait, so let me get
this straight.
Speaker 14 (21:17):
Part of the screening is supposed to be are you sick, maimed, injured?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Whatever?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Right?
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Okay, good, you can come in. Yeah, you get on
the airplane. Are you sick, maimed, injured, whatever? Yes, good,
so we can give you disability correct? What, Yes, this
is insanity.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yes, it is insane.
Speaker 14 (21:35):
But in order to get solid security disability benefits, don't
you need a Social Security number?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Well, we are.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
We were instructed in the meeting that one of the
first things we were supposed to do was sign them
up for so security. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Wait, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So they come over here and they get a SOLI
Security number, right, they become legal correct.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Pull my leg No I'm not.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
And then after we processed them for a Social Security card,
then we were to process them for a US passport.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
No, you're not.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So that's about the time I kind of decided, Okay,
I was done. I've heard everything I want to know.
I was so angry about this that they would receive
a US passport. It just, you know, I just couldn't
believe it. I couldn't believe that we were giving these
people social Security cards and US passports and free medical,
free housing, free food, free everything.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (22:37):
But this is the thing that bothers because the food
we can recoup from and the money irritates me. But
we can earn it back and we can stop the
program or whatever it is. But once you give somebody
a social Security number and you give them what considered
globally the Golden ticket, which is a US passport. Right,
that is beyond comprehension that we're doing this, that's right.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Do bureaucrats know this is happening?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Well, interestingly enough, no, they don't. A lot of governors
are unaware of how many refugees have come into their state,
where they're located, under what conditions they've arrived. And I
believe this is intentional. I believe this is intentional. Now,
we do know that the governor of Texas and the
governor of Tennessee have both stopped this and they're refusing
(23:23):
to take any more refugees. In fact, federal government has
filed a lawsuit against both of those states because they're
refusing to take any.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
More refuge How dare you keep your people safe?
Speaker 15 (23:33):
Right?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
But okay, so let's just say all the states are.
Speaker 14 (23:37):
Saying we want to pull out of this refugee resettlement
program from the federal government. Then they're fine, right, there's
no other way the refugees are getting in.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Well, no, the state can assert that they no longer
want to receive refugees, and then the federal government says
all right, And so then they start implementing a program
called the Wilson Fish program, and Wilson Fish simply bypasses
the sovereignty of that. In other words, the state no
longer processes the refugees. That means, in plain English, you
(24:05):
no longer get to know how many are coming in,
when they're coming in, where they're going, how much money
is being spent on them, whether they're diseased or not diseased.
You've lost all control over the entire situation. And as
a sovereign state, you've relinquished that. And so Wilson Fish
comes in then, and all of the federal moneies that
are set aside for this program bypass the state and
(24:28):
go to third party entities. And that would be something
like the Catholic charities or Jewis vocational services. So it
would bypass the state entirely, and they would take over
the entire process of processing the refugees.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
That's crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And as a US citizen and as a citizen of
the sovereign state of Missouri, I am not in favor
of that. I think we need to maintain our sovereignty,
just like we would in the United States. You know, Honestly,
we are first a citizen and of the state of
Missouri because we are a sovereign state, and then we're
citizen of the United States of America. But our first
(25:07):
sovereignty and citizenship is to our state, and a lot
of people don't realize that. So in order for us
to maintain the health and welfare and the security of
our borders, we must know who's coming and going.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Yeah, you have to, right, you have to, and FUNU
doesn't work for me, doesn't work for me either, and
giving them a solid security number and.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
A passport actually makes this problem worse, not better. Correct.
Speaker 14 (25:31):
Have we been placed at risk? I mean you mentioned
that this is an invasion?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Are we at risk?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I believe we are at risk, Josh, because when they
come in, we're urged to compatriate them with fellow refugees,
those who have come in before them. We are urged
to locate other communities of refugees from the same country
of origin, the same language, the same culture as those
(25:58):
who are arriving. And so when they come in, you know,
and we have had Syrians come in, and we know
Syrians are on the list of those seven countries that
have been banned and so we've received Syrians here in
Missouri even after the band yes what yes? And so
the Syrians coming in and we know that they are
(26:21):
coming from a country of origin that has malevolent intent
toward us as a nation, and we now know they're
not being vetted. And we now know that not only
are they coming from a malevolent country or country that
has malevolent intent, and we now know they're not vetted,
we're giving them support and we're giving them a passport.
Speaker 14 (26:42):
What name do they put on the passport if their
name on the thing is foolish?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
CNN is lamenting Trump's unprecedented opportunity to make things very
painful for Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I mean, it's just obvious. It's just a complete setup.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
He's put in a corner where they're having to argue
the government has to be shut down because Trump won't
give cash to illegal aliens for their health care. And
Americans are going, wait, why are you Why are you
trying to give cash to illegal aliens for health care anyway?
(27:21):
And why would you shut down the government on that basis?
And then a lot of Americans are saying, uh, government
shut down, It ain't making a bit of difference to me.
So maybe your government shutdown, Maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Not that big a deal after all.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Right, we know that this morning the President said that
he was meeting with OENB Director Russ Voting that they
would be hammering out these sort of details on which
so called he called it. These are his words, democratic agencies,
where they would be cutting workers, where they'd be cutting programs,
and discussing whether they would be permanent cuts or temporary cuts.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
But we should point out that before the shutdown officially
went into effect, already got in the wheels turning in
this direction.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
In a memo to agency heads, he told them to
consider mass layoffs for employees working.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
On programs and projects whose funding will lapse and there's
no other source of funding available, and it's also not
aligned with the president's agenda.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
So those are the three criteria for people working in
programs that they say they would cut right now.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Again, not clear which agencies will see these mass layoffs.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Arry Show is on the air. It's Charlie
from BlackBerry Smoking. I can feel a good one coming on.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's The Michael Berry Show and.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Now, as always courtesy of executive producer Chad.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Acony Nakanishi, your week in review.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I love the thought of a bunch of rednecks driving
along forty five going into Huntspal.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
There's Marcus the Trail comic coma Colors. Some people looking over.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You've got frog Man tattoos up and down his arm,
barking at everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All s sigre comic comic conor.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The government is now officially shut down, with lawmakers on
both sides of the aisle unable to make a deal
on a funding bill.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Is it in Trump tonight threatening to fire federal workers
and to cut programs and benefits, saying he can do
things that are irreversible. I don't know if you've noticed
and how much that's affected your life. So you know,
the government is shut down, so you're supposed to care,
but nobody actually cares except the media and the politicians,
for whom we're all supposed to be really invested in
(01:24):
this game with chickens.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I'm not so.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
That was announcer at a football game MADEBCU between Florida
and M University and Alabama State University. And well, halftime
was coming up. The Alabama State University honeybees was coming
out on the field, and what this announcer saying about
those systems now the purple Center.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Who No, he did, Yes, he did. I mean, in fairness,
he probably wouldn't hurt somebody to take a shot or
two of a big old. In this case, it's a
big girls to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm ready to fight. I came for violence.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Anybody that wants to argue that John Denver is gay
or stupid, or if you have never had a moment where.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You went and sat outside in the grass and you.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Were enjoying the sun on your face and John Denver
came on and it didn't put you in a better mood,
you're dead inside.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
We're gonna had a little bit about these war houses.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I know all about.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Ramon wants to know what around the world is whistling.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos hohosker
don'ts nips and dazers with her without the scooter stick
or one single whistling kiddy, Jason Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It was on this day in nineteen ninety five that
the verdict was read in the OJ Simpson murder case.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And as you recall, O. J.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Simpson was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson
and Ronald Goldman.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Here is that audio we the jury.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
An embolved in title action find the defendant Orenthal James
Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Across the nation and around the world, virtually everyone watched.
Does judgment day came swiftly for O. J.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Simpson?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Is this your verdicts?
They'll say you once, They'll say you all.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
In New York Nicole's former lover, Keith Salamsowitch, I can't
believe it. In Los Angeles, Ronald Goldman's close friends Mike
Davis and Jeff Keller.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
That's worst possible thing that could happen.
Speaker 8 (03:35):
In San Francisco, Ojay's brother Truman Simpson.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
In October nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So I don't think it's a stretch to say everyone
knows he didn't. I mean, everyone knows he did it.
He would later write a book thinking he was being cheeky.
If I did it, here's how I would have done it,
And a number of people would say, yeah, he did it,
But there was sloppy police work. It's true part of
(04:11):
our process, due process, which is important. We support our
criminal justice system because we believe it's fair, and when
it is perceived as being unfair, then people won't support it.
And more policing is done by the citizenry than anyone
who wears a badge, and any cop will tell you
(04:32):
that that's who sends the tips, that's who informs that's
who catches people, that's who prevents crimes, that's who protects
other people. That's who serves on juries and on and
on on. So when you have a situation like this
where yes, there was sloppy police work, Yes there was
a dream team of defense lawyers and they brought in
(04:55):
their experts and people like Henry who embarrassed himself by
basically I mean that Oja was innocent, and you know
he was on TV as this forensics expert and he
got paid a lot of money for that, and that's
the way the process works, and Chris Darden and Marcia
Clark showed themselves to not really be up to the
(05:15):
task of this prosecution. And I don't think anybody doubts
that either. And you had a very very high profile,
highly publicized case. But let's leave all that aside for
a moment. You have two murders here, and we can
(05:37):
talk about what was his name, Kaylo Caitlin, what was
the guy's name, Kato Caitlin, and whether he was cool
or not. And we can talk about Mark Furman and
whether he's a racist or not. We can talk about,
you know, a number of things related to this case.
(05:58):
We can talk about how this gave us the Kardashians,
and that may be the greatest travesty at all. But
at the end of the day, a mother and a
father and another mother and a father had their children.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Murdered, and not just murdered.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
If you dig deep into the reports, if you ever
see the picture or the video of Nicole Brown Simpson's body,
it is it has been gutted.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It is the most.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Raging physical act consistent with a revenge or you know,
domestic situation.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Her head was cut almost completely off.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
The body.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So how would you like to know that your loved
one had been killed and that by pure celebrity and money.
OJ got off and I got to thinking about this,
and this has bothered me and bothered me and bothered
me all day. And then I got to thinking about something.
(07:13):
How about this? Because I think people generally as a
concept understand, Yeah, that's frustrating.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
How about this.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
To her parents and to Ron Goldman's parents, that was
their whole life. Their child was their whole life. You
might never have met Charlie Kirk, but you feel a
kinship with him right now. His death has created a revival.
His work is being studied in a way that on
(07:43):
a level that it never was before. His words are echoing,
his influence has grown exponentially. It's a powerful moment. But
imagine if you would now, if you believe in a
conspiracy theory, then you wouldn't care about this. But leave
that aside. Let's say the guy whose name I'm not
(08:04):
going to mention, who is believed or we're told, pulled
the trigger and killed Charlie Kirk. Let's say we had
much better evidence than we did in the O. J.
Simpson case, which is impossible. There was so much evidence.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Let's say you had a trial.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
And he had these lawyers and everybody thought, oh, these
lawyers are so cool. And there's you know, Judge Edo
and he's he's getting to be a celebrity out of this.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
There's a clever little If the glove doesn't fit, you
have to acquit and here we go and he walks free.
Can you imagine how you would feel? Can you imagine
the anger you would have, the feeling of being wronged
that you would have. Hard to imagine. Right, We'll let
(08:53):
that sink in because it's not I was watching this
Logan Veterico case.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Have you seen this from Romness?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
This beautiful young white, blonde girl who's murdered. He makes her,
he has her stripped down neck and puts her on
her knees before he murders her. And the family's trying
to get the death penal. He had twenty five felonies.
This guy should have never been out on the streets.
He's a rabbit animal, he's a dog. I don't care
if he's black. I'm tired of people being allowed back
(09:23):
on the streets who happen to be black to murder
other people, black or white, because we've decided that we're
not going to enforce our laws because he's a victim,
because he's black. And this is ridiculous and it's absurd,
and it's making people very angry. It is a tempest
that has built up in this country. There is so
(09:44):
much anger over this. But because people cannot express that
anger without fear of being called a racist, then it
just stays underground.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, I'm going to tell you something. You keep doing that,
you keep building that anger.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You just keep playinging it down and pressing it down
and pressing it down and letting it build and pressing
it down. It doesn't go away. It has no escape valve.
And that is what the left is doing in this country.
And if we do not shatter the lid on this
pot that is steaming up and building up, we're not
(10:21):
going to like the results. And that's not a country
I or my children want to live in. We've got
to solve this by preventing this nonsense. We have to
enforce the law. We have to put the bad guys away.
We have to say no matter how much the left
screams and hollers and calls us names, it won't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
We're going to do.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
What is listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is Sexy,
Be Sexy.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Welcome to day three of the terrifying government shut down.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Ramon.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I don't know about you. These last three days, I've
just felt off. Up is down right, seems wrong? I mean,
without the government being opened, how are we going to survive?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
By God, it's day three of the government shutdown. Civilization
has collapsed. Without the government's steady hand, We're wandering aimlessly
in the wilderness. Paperwork is piling up. Permits have expired.
The DMV is silent and without attitude. This is the
(11:27):
No one knows how to regular fishing license, and so
we starve this the The Wi Fi signal has dropped
to one bar. Experts a society has minutes left.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Ah, yeah, I had a time of show.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So without a federal shoelace guideline, my left one is
technically in violation of Coach seventeen bs.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The neighborhoods are fracturing into tribes.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yhoa now requires a secret handshake and three pop tarts
just across culed a sac Wilson's next door. They've declared
themselves a sovereign nation. The Post Office has shuddered. Birthday
cards are now hand delivered by feral racoulis and old
(12:18):
ups uniforms without the FAA, planes no longer lad. They
just circle indlessly waiting for someone with a whistle. Without OSHA,
staplers are openly revolting. Without the EPA, no one knows
how to recycle. People are just tossing soda cans in
the trash like savage. Without NASA, the wound has been repossessed.
(12:43):
And without the FDA, lunchables now come with cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Nothing like some good old process meat sheeese smokeing if
you got them right, pops, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
Or squirrey entry. I got to think it was regulated.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
This is it, folks. And without the Department of Agriculture,
apples are attacking children.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Without the CDC, flu season has been upgraded to matt max.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
If Congress does not exsue, Americans will be forced to
pump their own gas.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
In New Jersey, Senator remember when Rembwoodrush would go. I
loved what he would do.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Senator Jean Shaheen of New Hampshire was on Fox News
trying to say that she's never never heard anyone in
her party wanting to give illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Taxpayer funded health care.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
What happened next was nothing short of glorious.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal
immigrants should get access to the health insurance marketplace.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Actually, have some tape of your Democratic Party member said
this on the debate. Say so, they've all said, and
let's play the cliff.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
A lot of you have been talking tonight about these
government healthcare plans that you proposed in one form or another.
This is a show of Hands's question and hold them
up for a moment so people can see, raise your
handed government if your government plan would provide coverage for
undocumented immigrants.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
Okay, Senator to that's that's literally every member of your party,
from moderate to more progressive that have said that in
the past.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Before you say that those Democrats were in a primary,
So that's why they did it. Because they were in
a primary, and politicians played to the base during the primary.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They don't really mean it. Okay, that's so weird. Defense.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But okay, the man who came out of that primary
as the Democrat candidate ran on giving health care to
illegals it was actually a pillar of his platform. It
it wasn't a glitch in the system, it was a feature.
Speaker 12 (15:03):
Part of what I'm going to send to the United
States Congress is a total immigration bill to provide a
pathway to citizenship for undocumented people in the United States
of America. This is this is it makes no sense
for us not to do that. And they're part of
the reason why we're growing. They're part of the reason
why Look, you have twenty four out of every one
(15:23):
hundred kids in grades in school today or Latino Spanish speaking.
It makes no sense, not whatsoever, for us to walk
away and not provide for access, not provide for education,
not provide for healthcare.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But what's going on and so is part of the
strength of the country. It's not a weak This is
the strength. Mind you, it was only twelve years earlier.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
This is how much the Democrats have changed that the
Democrat nominee took the exact opposite position on illegal immigration.
Speaker 9 (15:57):
I think we should have strong border security.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
It doesn't make sense for us to allow hundreds of
thousands of people coming through reporters without us knowing who
they are, oftentimes in very hazardous situations, and unmonitored situations
that could do us long term damage.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
I think we should have a serious employer.
Speaker 13 (16:22):
Verification system where employers, when they hire somebody, find out
what their work status is.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Are they able to work here legally right now?
Speaker 13 (16:34):
What employers will say is, well, we check their Social
Security card. That's the best we can do. So we've
got to set up a tamper proof system and then
hold employers accountable. You pay a fine, you learn English,
you stay out of trouble, you've got a job. You
go to the back of the line so that those
who came here legally, that backlock is cleared before you
(16:54):
have opportunities for citizenship.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
That is a.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
Reasonable approach and one that will ultimately address the biggest
problem for American workers, and that is the depressive effect
of undocumented workers who aren't right now subject to oftentimes
minimum wage laws or worker safety laws or all the
other things that make them cheaper.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
For employers.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
If they're out of the shadows, then we can make
sure those laws are enforced and those costs advantages for
hiring a document workers go away.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
President Trump was on a network called an when he
said federal workers could be fired during the shutdown good.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
There is an O and B memo going around suggesting
that there might be firings during the shutdown.
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Do you think that will happen if the shutdown goes
for a little bit of time, sir.
Speaker 15 (17:45):
Well, there could be firings, and that's their fault, and
it could also be other things.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
I mean, we could.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and they'd be
permanently cut. So you could say a lot of people
are saying Trump wanted this, that I wanted this claws in.
I didn't want it, but a lot of people are
saying it because I'm allowed to cut things that should
have never been approved in the first place, and I
will probably do.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That, you know, on that subject. Hold on just a second.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Here, I read yesterday about how much federal employees are
here we go, here we go. The average private sector
worker that's you, earns sixty five thousand dollars in this country.
The average federal employee earns one hundred six thousand dollars.
(18:36):
That's forty percent more, and typically they're working shorter, fewer hours,
and getting a better benefit package. Even state and local
government employees average eighty two thousand. So guess what when
one hundred thousand federal employees resigned this week.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
We cheered.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
We've got a federal workforce of nearly three million. That's
larger than Amazon and Walmart combined.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
What in the hell are they doing.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Issuing social Security checks a fix an AI program and
mail that stuff or digitally drop it into people's accounts.
This is ridiculous and a waste, and we're tired of
paying for it.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So yeah, that's what you're seeing. Everybody knows who this
guy is.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Come on, man with the Michael Berry, Come on.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Joe Biden allowed tens of millions of people to float
across the border and then incentivize those in the Social
Security Administration to give them benefits. We were inducing them,
we were begging them to come. You know, it's like
Black Friday and saying, hey, everything is going to be
free inside the Walmart. Of course, there's going to be
(19:52):
a crush of people at the door. This is a
whistleblower from the Social Security Administration who came forward and
told Josh Tom that they were qualifying illegals for long
term disability and Social Security for life.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
You my friends were paying for it.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
They wanted us to try to identify them in such
a way that they would qualify for long term SOB
security disability. Now yeah, and long long term security disabilities
for life. So if they get identified and qualified for
long term security disability, they are as good as set
(20:30):
up for life for medical treatment.
Speaker 14 (20:31):
That doesn't sound like a refugee to me, just being honest.
That sounds like somebody who's planning on staying here. Yes,
stays until the problems over and then goes on.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
And so.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
They instructed us to try to identify, to try to
get the client because once they arrive here where they're
now called clients, they're now called clients, okay, because clients
pay sure.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Sure, And so so.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They that we needed to talk to the client and
ask them if they'd had any headaches, recurring headaches, or
any lower back problems, excuse me, anything that would qualify
them for so security long term disability.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Wait wait hold wait wait wait, so let me get
this straight.
Speaker 14 (21:17):
Part of the screening is supposed to be are you sick, maimed, injured?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Whatever?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Right?
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Okay, good, you can come in. Yeah, you get on
the airplane. Are you sick, maimed, injured, whatever? Yes, good,
so we can give you disability correct? What, Yes, this
is insanity.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yes, it is insane.
Speaker 14 (21:35):
But in order to get solid security disability benefits, don't
you need a Social Security number?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Well, we are.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
We were instructed in the meeting that one of the
first things we were supposed to do was sign them
up for so security. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Wait, this is unbelievable.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So they come over here and they get a SOLI
Security number, right, they become legal correct.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Pull my leg No I'm not.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
And then after we processed them for a Social Security card,
then we were to process them for a US passport.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
No, you're not.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
So that's about the time I kind of decided, Okay,
I was done. I've heard everything I want to know.
I was so angry about this that they would receive
a US passport. It just, you know, I just couldn't
believe it. I couldn't believe that we were giving these
people social Security cards and US passports and free medical,
free housing, free food, free everything.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (22:37):
But this is the thing that bothers because the food
we can recoup from and the money irritates me. But
we can earn it back and we can stop the
program or whatever it is. But once you give somebody
a social Security number and you give them what considered
globally the Golden ticket, which is a US passport. Right,
that is beyond comprehension that we're doing this, that's right.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Do bureaucrats know this is happening?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Well, interestingly enough, no, they don't. A lot of governors
are unaware of how many refugees have come into their state,
where they're located, under what conditions they've arrived. And I
believe this is intentional. I believe this is intentional. Now,
we do know that the governor of Texas and the
governor of Tennessee have both stopped this and they're refusing
(23:23):
to take any more refugees. In fact, federal government has
filed a lawsuit against both of those states because they're
refusing to take any.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
More refuge How dare you keep your people safe?
Speaker 15 (23:33):
Right?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
But okay, so let's just say all the states are.
Speaker 14 (23:37):
Saying we want to pull out of this refugee resettlement
program from the federal government. Then they're fine, right, there's
no other way the refugees are getting in.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Well, no, the state can assert that they no longer
want to receive refugees, and then the federal government says
all right, And so then they start implementing a program
called the Wilson Fish program, and Wilson Fish simply bypasses
the sovereignty of that. In other words, the state no
longer processes the refugees. That means, in plain English, you
(24:05):
no longer get to know how many are coming in,
when they're coming in, where they're going, how much money
is being spent on them, whether they're diseased or not diseased.
You've lost all control over the entire situation. And as
a sovereign state, you've relinquished that. And so Wilson Fish
comes in then, and all of the federal moneies that
are set aside for this program bypass the state and
(24:28):
go to third party entities. And that would be something
like the Catholic charities or Jewis vocational services. So it
would bypass the state entirely, and they would take over
the entire process of processing the refugees.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
That's crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
And as a US citizen and as a citizen of
the sovereign state of Missouri, I am not in favor
of that. I think we need to maintain our sovereignty,
just like we would in the United States. You know, Honestly,
we are first a citizen and of the state of
Missouri because we are a sovereign state, and then we're
citizen of the United States of America. But our first
(25:07):
sovereignty and citizenship is to our state, and a lot
of people don't realize that. So in order for us
to maintain the health and welfare and the security of
our borders, we must know who's coming and going.
Speaker 14 (25:21):
Yeah, you have to, right, you have to, and FUNU
doesn't work for me, doesn't work for me either, and
giving them a solid security number and.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
A passport actually makes this problem worse, not better. Correct.
Speaker 14 (25:31):
Have we been placed at risk? I mean you mentioned
that this is an invasion?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Are we at risk?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I believe we are at risk, Josh, because when they
come in, we're urged to compatriate them with fellow refugees,
those who have come in before them. We are urged
to locate other communities of refugees from the same country
of origin, the same language, the same culture as those
(25:58):
who are arriving. And so when they come in, you know,
and we have had Syrians come in, and we know
Syrians are on the list of those seven countries that
have been banned and so we've received Syrians here in
Missouri even after the band yes what yes? And so
the Syrians coming in and we know that they are
(26:21):
coming from a country of origin that has malevolent intent
toward us as a nation, and we now know they're
not being vetted. And we now know that not only
are they coming from a malevolent country or country that
has malevolent intent, and we now know they're not vetted,
we're giving them support and we're giving them a passport.
Speaker 14 (26:42):
What name do they put on the passport if their
name on the thing is foolish?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
CNN is lamenting Trump's unprecedented opportunity to make things very
painful for Democrats.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I mean, it's just obvious. It's just a complete setup.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
He's put in a corner where they're having to argue
the government has to be shut down because Trump won't
give cash to illegal aliens for their health care. And
Americans are going, wait, why are you Why are you
trying to give cash to illegal aliens for health care anyway?
(27:21):
And why would you shut down the government on that basis?
And then a lot of Americans are saying, uh, government
shut down, It ain't making a bit of difference to me.
So maybe your government shutdown, Maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Not that big a deal after all.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Right, we know that this morning the President said that
he was meeting with OENB Director Russ Voting that they
would be hammering out these sort of details on which
so called he called it. These are his words, democratic agencies,
where they would be cutting workers, where they'd be cutting programs,
and discussing whether they would be permanent cuts or temporary cuts.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
But we should point out that before the shutdown officially
went into effect, already got in the wheels turning in
this direction.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
In a memo to agency heads, he told them to
consider mass layoffs for employees working.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
On programs and projects whose funding will lapse and there's
no other source of funding available, and it's also not
aligned with the president's agenda.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
So those are the three criteria for people working in
programs that they say they would cut right now.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Again, not clear which agencies will see these mass layoffs.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
