Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Darry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is on the air for American citizens. January twentieth, twenty
twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We have last year.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
If we ad last, thank Gotta matter. The golden Age
(00:45):
of America begins right now. From this day forward, our
country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
During every single.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Day of the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will
be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of
justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization
of the Justice Department and our government will end, and
(01:46):
our top priority will be to create a nation that
is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger,
and far more exceptional than ever before. Our return to
the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the
(02:07):
start of a thrilling new era of national success.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
A tide of change is sweeping the country.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has
the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. From
this moment on, America's decline is over, and we will
immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America's government.
(02:35):
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president in our two hundred and
fifty year history, and.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I've learned a lot along the way.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an
easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish
to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom
and indeed to take my life. I've just a few
months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet
(03:05):
ripped through my ear.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But I felt then and.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Believe even more so now, that my life was.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Saved for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm going to ask for sixty seconds, and I'll stick
to it to say something about the community where I live,
and then I want to get to the wonderful things
happening in our country as a result of this election.
And I would like to take a moment simply to
say it's not the Pacific Palisades or Los Angeles fires,
(03:48):
but the greater Houston community in southeast Texas more broadly
has been hit with a pretty nasty coal spell, especially
for us. Now, you folks in Colorado or New York
for that matter, would laugh at how we get up
in arms over a little bit of snow. But we
(04:10):
had a generational amount of snow, which I guess was
four or five six inches. My father in Orange, two
hours southeast of me on Louisiana border, was absolutely giddy,
and he told me a story about him and his
now late brother as children playing out in the snow,
(04:30):
and he went back to the story as if he
was five or six years.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Old, almost eighty years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We don't see snow, So it would be laughable to
you to see how giddy our kids are at this
moment over the fact that we had a snow day today.
But I unapologetically, unashamedly tell you that Houston's children are
loving having some snow in Houston, Texas, which we don't
typically have. And there's far beyond Houston that's received it.
(05:00):
But it has also occasioned really slick roads and a
lot of accidents, and that nature and our first responders
and the folks who are out helping their neighbors have
shown to be absolute heroes. And I want to say
big thanks to all of you who are away from
your families and you are out serving your communities, whether
you do it professionally or whether you're doing it because
(05:23):
you're a nice guy, like the Cajun Navy or any
other number of Rednecks or any other group of people
that helps. You know, the widow Jones next door, just
to make sure that she's okay. It's times like this
we see the best of our people. President Trump yesterday
gave three major speeches. He signed over two hundred executive orders.
(05:50):
He gave a ninety minute press conference, and at the
end of the night, as I laid on my couch
falling asleep, there was footage of him playing with a
sword doing his Trump dance, and he looked like me
when I find a stick and I'm out on the walk.
(06:12):
He was trying to hit everything with that sword. He
was enjoying the moment to such an extent. And did
I mention after this incredibly long, exhausting day that he's
seventy eight years old, what an inspiration.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That was.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
The most important thing for my money, that he did
as promised, was pardon fifteen hundred of the January sixth defendants.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Here's that audio.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
So we have a list of partners and commutations relating
to events that occurred on January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Okay, and how.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Many people is this?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think this order will apply to proximately fifteen other people, so.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
This is January sixth.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
These are the hostages, approximately fifteen hundred for a pardon
full part A full parton. We have about six commutations
in there when we're doing further research. Nice to see
(07:25):
you again. So this is a big one. Anything you
want to explain about this. We hope they get them.
We hope they come out tonight. Frankly, if you're expecting it,
(07:48):
approximately fifteen hundred people, six commutations.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
People.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
We'll look at it different things, but the commutations would
be the ones that we'll take a look and maybe
it'll say that way or it'll go to in the
faux party.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
And the order does require the Bureau of Prisons to
act immediately on receipt of the pardons and commutation orders.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Sir.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is a until we get.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That down so they can get them going right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm just sir, Okay, yep, absolutely bizarre. He's on well done.
So this is the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Report that Garth Hudson, the last surviving member of the band,
has passed away at eighty seven years old. The band
is my second favorite band of all time, behind only
Leonard Skinner, and my old time favorite artist is Elvis.
(08:49):
You might have noticed that at his inaugural balls, Donald
Trump let off every dance to Elvis. He is also
an Elvis nut. Loves Loves loves Elvis. I was asked
a question about why Brett Kavanaugh swore in jd vance
(09:16):
instead of Roberts, handling both of those and I am.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well aware, well aware that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
John Roberts very likely intentionally, but I'm going to give
him the benefit of the doubt. President surely did tried
to gum up the works with President Trump's swearing in.
That is a beautiful historic moment, a moment that is
captured and replayed into eternity. John Roberts jumped the gun
(09:58):
and didn't let his family get in behind him as
is customary. Did John Roberts get nervous? Okay, maybe that's
what we'll go with. Maybe he got nervous, But it
appeared to be the case that he did not wait.
And if you go back and look, you'll see that
(10:20):
Milania has to rush to close the gap and get
right next to the president.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And then you see Eric and Donald Jr.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And Their wives having to rush while he's in the
middle of taking the oath.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't know. I don't like John Roberts. I never have.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
What he did on Obamacare, I'll never forgive him for
and I think he has a personal antipathy toward Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So I don't know what he did. But the reason that.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Brett cav All swore in jd Vance in case you
didn't know, is because Usha jd Vance's wife actually worked.
She clerked is the term for Brett Kavanaugh. She actually
clerked for John Roberts when he was on the Supreme Court,
(11:20):
as well as well as.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Then Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
At the time, Kavanaugh was on the US Court of
Appeals for the DC Circuit. Prior to that, she clerked
for Judge Amul Thapar, then of the US District Court
of the Eastern District of Kentucky. She has a relationship
with Justice Kavanaugh, so I think it was probably special
(11:48):
for them the way, if you're on the board of
trustees at your kids school, the school will often let
you deliver the diploma to your kid rather than you
know the head of school. In case you were wondering
who swore in who they choose these things. Kamala Harris
was sworn in by Sonya So to my or boy,
she looked miserable yesterday. Man Mike Pence was sworn in
(12:13):
by Clarence Thomas. He's undeserving of the Great Justice Thomas.
Joe Biden was sworn in by Sonya So to mayor
in twenty thirteen as vice president, and John Paul Stevens
four years before in nine first term. Dick Cheney was
sworn in by then Chief Justice William Rehnquist in two
thousand and one and by Denny Hastert in two thousand
(12:37):
and five.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Al Gore was.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Sworn in by Byron Wizzerwhite in ninety three and Ruth
Bader Ginsburg in ninety seven, and dan Quell was sworn
in by the first woman to serve on the United
States Supreme Court, Sandra Dale O'Connor from Arizona. The Constitution
specifically sets forth the oath that is required by the president.
(13:03):
But it doesn't set forth the oath that the vice
president and other officers are to take, other than to
say I want to make sure I say this correctly,
that they must uphold the Constitution. It does not specify
the form of that oath. And there's a whole history
(13:23):
behind this. I think I'll post this to Facebook. It's
fascinating how the oaths came about and the history of
the swearing inn. If you love the pomp and circumstance
and the tradition, you might find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And we will put that in. Oh we did.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
We put that in the Blast today, So if you
read our daily Blast, you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Can go there.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
If you're not signed up, go to Michael Berryshow dot com.
And a lot of background materials that we talk about
are posted to our daily email that we send out
to listeners. And of course we never sell or share
your email address. I wish everybody would take that approach.
The President pardoned fifteen hundred January sixth hostages.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
There were some of them.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Our friend Nick Sercey was trying to get some of
them out of prison last night. He ordered that it
be immediate, and some of the prisons were being very
difficult about releasing them, to their lawyers, to their families,
to their friends. Those individuals are going to come forward
with stories because I've already heard background on some of
(14:26):
these of abuse by those prison guards, of terrible treatment,
of horrible things said and done to them. And I
want every one of those prison guards investigated, who is
accused of abuse against those j six hostages. President Trump
(14:47):
signed an executive order clarifying birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This has Clip five OHO three romon.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
This next order relates to the definition of a birth
right citizenship under the fortunate Hevenue.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The United States. It's a good one. Birthright. That's a
big one. What about that one at the court that
is playing.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Could be.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I think we have good grounds, but you could be right,
and you'll find out. It's ridiculous. We're the only country
in the world that does this with birthright, as.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
But you know, we'll see. We think we have very
good un.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
President Trump is absolutely right, it's absolutely ridiculous. You know,
Democrats used to agree with us. All Americans believed that
birthright citizenship was being abused and the Fourteenth Amendment does
not protect it. That's what that executive order ensured. In fact,
I've got an audio clip i'll play for you of
(15:49):
Harry Reid, then the Democrat leader, saying that these anchor
babies were bad for American.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
People who want to.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Come to this country but do not qualify, have abused
our laws. And when you provide all the protections for
your citizens that we do, when you provide a social
safety in that, when you provide free education, when you
provide all of these things and the rest of the
world doesn't, then they simply want to come here and
(16:27):
take part of it. They want to take part in it.
Should I say, but that system falls apart the moment
you open it up to everyone. You can't afford it,
you can't administer it, which causes it to collapse. And
many of you know about Cloward pivot and all of
these sorts of things. But President Trump signing an executive
(16:51):
order clarifying birthright citizenship is something that should not have
been needed used to Democrats agreed with us, Hey, you
can't break into our country illegally. This was Harry Reid,
who would be the Senate majority leader for Democrats twenty
years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough?
How about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
No, see country would do that right?
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Yes, again, if you break our laws by entering this
country without permission and give birth to a child, we
reward that child with US citizenship and guarantee of full
access to all public and social services this society provides.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And that's a lot of services.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Is it any wonder that two thirds of the babies
born at tax for expensive country county run hospitals in
Los Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That used to be what we all agreed to. What
kind of people are we getting when people are willing
to break our laws and come here? Do you think
that's the best and brightest. They're not sending us their best.
President Trump did something that it's a wonder it took
till now to do, classifying the Mexican drug cartels as
(18:19):
foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This is actually an executive order designating the cartels and
other organizations to before terrorist organizations, and it's a big one.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes, sir, people have wanted to do this for years.
So they are now designated as stereost organizations foreign.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And from Mexico.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Probably doesn't want that that we have to do what's right.
They're killing our people. They're killing two hundred and fifty
three hundred thousand American people a year, not one hundred
like as and reported for fifteen years. It's probably three
hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The cartels are more powerful than almost every army in
the world, and they are actively engage in terrorist activities
against our country, one part of which is sending fentanyl
(19:28):
into this country that is killing our youth. My brother
was a narcotics officer and he told me that no
street drug has ever scared him the way fentanyl did.
And I said, why is that And he said, well,
(19:48):
if you die of alcohol poisoning, you're just as dead
as you are with fentanyl or anything else. But you
had to work at it. You don't accident lead die
of alcohol poisoning. You might have a problem. You might
be being hazed. That often happens. Fraternities get out of
(20:09):
hand and these young men are acting stupid and they
keep pouring something down their throat when they shouldn't and
the system doesn't shut down in time, which is why
you pass out. To keep you from this nonsense, your
body's trying to build a resistance to it. But alcohol
poisoning you got to work at heroin a lot easier.
(20:30):
And then you've got all the diletorious effects of you know,
putting needles in your arm and using those needles are
dirty because you're sharing them.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They're not easy to come by.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Hygienes are not real, real good on sanitation levels. For
all that stuff, you've got other drugs that can lead
to death over a long period of time, which gives
you a run up during which you can have an intervention.
You can save the life of your loved one. And
(20:59):
I'll tell you something, it's real easy. I've heard people
say this, it's real easy to judge that kids who
die of overdoses were bad kids and our parents. Let
me tell you something, My kids have been pretty good about.
My kids are Crockett does not drink at all. Michael
(21:20):
will walk around an entire party with a beer and
typically not drink it because he doesn't enjoy it. But
I got to tell you something. A lot of kids
will unintentionally try fentanyl. And I've had officers tell me
this happens, and that is, Hey, this is some candy
my brother gave us. It's kind of cool. You ought
(21:41):
to try it, and that kid hadn't tried it, but
he has his buddy tried and it's laced with fentanyl.
One little you remember a nerd. Little nerds will crackle.
One little piece is enough to kill you, and it
can and people die under those terms. That's a life
that doesn't come back. That's your baby. I knew we
(22:05):
had a problem when I saw polling in New Hampshire
back in the spring that one of the top issues
for why New Hampshire voters were switching from Democrats to
Republican was because of the street drug fentanyl, the presence
of it in the state of New Hampshire. We know
(22:25):
it's bad in Texas, they don't have to haul it
very far, but when it becomes an issue in New Hampshire,
you know it's an issue. But it's not just fentanyl
and all the other drugs. That's not the only thing
they're trafficking and making billions of dollars. They're also trafficking
human beings. There is and more and more is being revealed,
(22:48):
whether it's Epstein or p Diddy, there are more powerful
and rich people who have an appetite for little children.
Then I think most people can fathom, and a willingness
to spend anything and do anything to serve that appetite.
(23:13):
There is an entire pipeline to the industry of sex trafficking,
much of it children, that comes through the cartels.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Not only that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They're sending hitmen, they're staffing gang members, they're using muscle.
It's the old fashioned mafia. Heck, a buddy of mine,
Russell Leaborrow, that owns TEXTBX restaurants, says, the cartels own
the uh.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
They own the avocado trade.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Every box of avocados you buy, the avocado farmer has
to pay the cartel to move it. Mean what the
cartels will do when the farmers get a little too
big for the breeches and don't want to pay there
their share to the mafia boss, They just shut down
the streets. They stand in the streets with entire armies.
(24:07):
And these guys are sophisticated, they're trained. They're in active
warfare with each other. The local police, the state police,
the federal police are scared to death of them. A
lot of them are on the payroll of these cartels.
This is a terrorist activity. Instead of sending billions to Ukraine,
(24:30):
they're not on our streets.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
We need to be focused right.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Here, right now on the Mexican cartels. And God bless
Donald Trump that he's willing to take this on. Listening
to Michael Barry shows President Trump signed an executive order
withdrawing from the World's Health Organization. Globalism requires world organizations
(25:02):
that are controlled by Klaus and his commis, who have
this sort of informal influence, if not downright power, that
they use to seduce public health officials like Fauci. I
(25:22):
suspect they pay him under the table. These are part
of the reasons why Fauci needed his.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Pardon. The World Health Organization.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Is off the rails and they are engaged in no
way in promoting good health for anybody. The influence of
people like Bill Gates in that organization should be the
biggest red flag. Bill Gates is engaged in playing God
and getting rich, and as bad as it is for
(25:58):
the American people, he treats the people of Africa like
some sort of lab rats, and I find it disgusting.
Here is the executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Withdrawing from the World Health Organizations.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Ooh, that's a big one, So we paid.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Five hundred million dollars to World Health when obviously and
I terminated in China.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
With one point four billion people.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
We have three fifteen we have Nobody knows what we
have because so many people came in illegally.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
But let's say we have three twenty five. They had
one point four billion.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
They were paying thirty nine million, We were paying five
hundred million.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It seemed a little unfair to me, so that wasn't
the reason.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But I dropped out. They offered me to come back
for thirty nine million. In theory, it should be listening
to that. But you know, and when Biden came back,
they came back for five hundred and he knew.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That you're going to come back four thirty nine million.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
They wanted us back so madly, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They can't survive without America, and he knows it. It's
hard for people who do not negotiate to win to
understand what Trump does. Wall Street journal is writing these
stories about how Trump's tariffs are going to be so bad.
They're going to be so bad. These tariffs are going
(27:30):
to be so bad. Let me explain the tariffs. How
this works and what he's doing. America has used tariffs
as part of our trade strategy for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
In fact, Grover Cleveland, who is the only.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Other president to serve non consecutive terms, in his first term,
aggressively used tariffs and he aggravated the wrong commercial interests
who went against him to defeat him. Tariffs are a
way of saying to another country, you want the world's
(28:07):
largest market for your products, Well, you're going to do
business with us in other ways on our terms, and
if you don't, then we're going to slap a tariff
on your product. And I've explained it like this. Let's
say the Mexicans send a lot of avocados up here.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
They do.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
There was once a day, not so long ago, you
couldn't import avocados. Now, this was for the explosion in
tex mex restaurants, which is a big buyer of avocados.
But there was the idea that Mexican avocados had a
bug that would infest our crops and destroy our crops,
(28:50):
protecting the California avocado industry. Once that was opened up,
Mexican avocado farms, many of them then owned by Americans,
absolutely exploded and now I'll bet you we buy I
don't know, I'd have to look it up, but i'll
bet you we buy the lion's share of Mexican avocados.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
To this day. So if Trump were to.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Say, hey, if you want to send avocados up here,
which enriches the cartels because they've basically hijacked the avocado
business and we were paying ten dollars a box for it,
then we're going to put a five dollars of tariff
on there, so you're going to have to sell it
in this market for eighteen dollars. At that point, if
(29:39):
American buyers say, hey, it made sense at ten, but
at fifteen that's too much. I can't pass that on
to my consumers, so we'll start buying California avocados. Well,
once that demand dropped down, that would mean that the
avocado companies and Mexico's economy because it's a big part
of their economy, would suffer and have a lot of
(30:00):
their agricultural interests. So they would come back to the
table and say, President Trump, what can we do to
get you to lift that tariff? And that's where he says,
I want you to stop the illegals who are coming
in from south to Mexico, walking through Mexico and coming
into the United States. And I want you to stop
(30:22):
your people from coming into this country because it's a
second leading form of revenues for your country, and we
know you're sending them up here to send them money back.
And I want you to prevent the running of drugs
across our border. If you do those things, then I'll take.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
The tariff off.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Trump's negotiating strategy and always has been, is he doesn't
walk in the room and say, well, y'all are nice.
You're nice, I'm nice. We're all nice. Let's see if we.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Can get a good deal done.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
That doesn't make somebody give you a good deal. But
people who don't know how to negotiate, which is people
in government, people in media, don't understand this. So Trump
walks in the room, he punches you in the face,
and he turns around and walks off, and you beg
him before he leaves, whoa what can we do for
you to make you happy? Do you want somebody who
(31:18):
is negotiating for our best interests? Or do you want
somebody who tells you all the things that cannot be
done because they haven't been done. Trump's a guy that
gets things done, there's no denying that, and so he
uses things like this, the withdrawal from the World Health Organization.
(31:41):
We'll end up if we do go back, having much
greater authority for pennies on the dollar. Democrats aren't about
to negotiate that deal. You see these organizations, World Health Organization,
United Nations, there so many of them, my goodness, it's
(32:02):
such a boondoggle. And the people who populate these organizations
are the corrupt people in third world countries who are
put there by their king or their chancellor or their
prime minister, and there's kickbacks being given. There's a great,
great documentary on FIFA that administers the World Cup and
(32:26):
how corrupt that organization became, and how choosing where the
World Cup would be held was basically being sold to
the highest bidder. Fact is bribery and corruption or rife
in many of the governments around the world. So why
wouldn't they be when the treasure pile is so big
(32:48):
and the kinds of people involved with it are from
the governments. They're not sending their best and brightest into
the government. Government is a way to get rich in
third world countries, and you don't get rich off good
government and ethical government. And the thing is that's the
way they want to run their organization. Do so, but
not with my tax dollars, and I bet not with
(33:09):
yours either, if you had a vote,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Darry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is on the air for American citizens. January twentieth, twenty
twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We have last year.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
If we ad last, thank Gotta matter. The golden Age
(00:45):
of America begins right now. From this day forward, our
country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
During every single.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Day of the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will
be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of
justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization
of the Justice Department and our government will end, and
(01:46):
our top priority will be to create a nation that
is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger,
and far more exceptional than ever before. Our return to
the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the
(02:07):
start of a thrilling new era of national success.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
A tide of change is sweeping the country.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has
the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. From
this moment on, America's decline is over, and we will
immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America's government.
(02:35):
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president in our two hundred and
fifty year history, and.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I've learned a lot along the way.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an
easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish
to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom
and indeed to take my life. I've just a few
months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet
(03:05):
ripped through my ear.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But I felt then and.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Believe even more so now, that my life was.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Saved for a reason.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm going to ask for sixty seconds, and I'll stick
to it to say something about the community where I live,
and then I want to get to the wonderful things
happening in our country as a result of this election.
And I would like to take a moment simply to
say it's not the Pacific Palisades or Los Angeles fires,
(03:48):
but the greater Houston community in southeast Texas more broadly
has been hit with a pretty nasty coal spell, especially
for us. Now, you folks in Colorado or New York
for that matter, would laugh at how we get up
in arms over a little bit of snow. But we
(04:10):
had a generational amount of snow, which I guess was
four or five six inches. My father in Orange, two
hours southeast of me on Louisiana border, was absolutely giddy,
and he told me a story about him and his
now late brother as children playing out in the snow,
(04:30):
and he went back to the story as if he
was five or six years.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Old, almost eighty years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
We don't see snow, So it would be laughable to
you to see how giddy our kids are at this
moment over the fact that we had a snow day today.
But I unapologetically, unashamedly tell you that Houston's children are
loving having some snow in Houston, Texas, which we don't
typically have. And there's far beyond Houston that's received it.
(05:00):
But it has also occasioned really slick roads and a
lot of accidents, and that nature and our first responders
and the folks who are out helping their neighbors have
shown to be absolute heroes. And I want to say
big thanks to all of you who are away from
your families and you are out serving your communities, whether
you do it professionally or whether you're doing it because
(05:23):
you're a nice guy, like the Cajun Navy or any
other number of Rednecks or any other group of people
that helps. You know, the widow Jones next door, just
to make sure that she's okay. It's times like this
we see the best of our people. President Trump yesterday
gave three major speeches. He signed over two hundred executive orders.
(05:50):
He gave a ninety minute press conference, and at the
end of the night, as I laid on my couch
falling asleep, there was footage of him playing with a
sword doing his Trump dance, and he looked like me
when I find a stick and I'm out on the walk.
(06:12):
He was trying to hit everything with that sword. He
was enjoying the moment to such an extent. And did
I mention after this incredibly long, exhausting day that he's
seventy eight years old, what an inspiration.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That was.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
The most important thing for my money, that he did
as promised, was pardon fifteen hundred of the January sixth defendants.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Here's that audio.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
So we have a list of partners and commutations relating
to events that occurred on January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Okay, and how.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Many people is this?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think this order will apply to proximately fifteen other people, so.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
This is January sixth.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
These are the hostages, approximately fifteen hundred for a pardon
full part A full parton. We have about six commutations
in there when we're doing further research. Nice to see
(07:25):
you again. So this is a big one. Anything you
want to explain about this. We hope they get them.
We hope they come out tonight. Frankly, if you're expecting it,
(07:48):
approximately fifteen hundred people, six commutations.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
People.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
We'll look at it different things, but the commutations would
be the ones that we'll take a look and maybe
it'll say that way or it'll go to in the
faux party.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
And the order does require the Bureau of Prisons to
act immediately on receipt of the pardons and commutation orders.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Sir.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is a until we get.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
That down so they can get them going right now.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm just sir, Okay, yep, absolutely bizarre. He's on well done.
So this is the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Report that Garth Hudson, the last surviving member of the band,
has passed away at eighty seven years old. The band
is my second favorite band of all time, behind only
Leonard Skinner, and my old time favorite artist is Elvis.
(08:49):
You might have noticed that at his inaugural balls, Donald
Trump let off every dance to Elvis. He is also
an Elvis nut. Loves Loves loves Elvis. I was asked
a question about why Brett Kavanaugh swore in jd vance
(09:16):
instead of Roberts, handling both of those and I am.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well aware, well aware that.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
John Roberts very likely intentionally, but I'm going to give
him the benefit of the doubt. President surely did tried
to gum up the works with President Trump's swearing in.
That is a beautiful historic moment, a moment that is
captured and replayed into eternity. John Roberts jumped the gun
(09:58):
and didn't let his family get in behind him as
is customary. Did John Roberts get nervous? Okay, maybe that's
what we'll go with. Maybe he got nervous, But it
appeared to be the case that he did not wait.
And if you go back and look, you'll see that
(10:20):
Milania has to rush to close the gap and get
right next to the president.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And then you see Eric and Donald Jr.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And Their wives having to rush while he's in the
middle of taking the oath.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't know. I don't like John Roberts. I never have.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
What he did on Obamacare, I'll never forgive him for
and I think he has a personal antipathy toward Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So I don't know what he did. But the reason that.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Brett cav All swore in jd Vance in case you
didn't know, is because Usha jd Vance's wife actually worked.
She clerked is the term for Brett Kavanaugh. She actually
clerked for John Roberts when he was on the Supreme Court,
(11:20):
as well as well as.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Then Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
At the time, Kavanaugh was on the US Court of
Appeals for the DC Circuit. Prior to that, she clerked
for Judge Amul Thapar, then of the US District Court
of the Eastern District of Kentucky. She has a relationship
with Justice Kavanaugh, so I think it was probably special
(11:48):
for them the way, if you're on the board of
trustees at your kids school, the school will often let
you deliver the diploma to your kid rather than you
know the head of school. In case you were wondering
who swore in who they choose these things. Kamala Harris
was sworn in by Sonya So to my or boy,
she looked miserable yesterday. Man Mike Pence was sworn in
(12:13):
by Clarence Thomas. He's undeserving of the Great Justice Thomas.
Joe Biden was sworn in by Sonya So to mayor
in twenty thirteen as vice president, and John Paul Stevens
four years before in nine first term. Dick Cheney was
sworn in by then Chief Justice William Rehnquist in two
thousand and one and by Denny Hastert in two thousand
(12:37):
and five.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Al Gore was.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Sworn in by Byron Wizzerwhite in ninety three and Ruth
Bader Ginsburg in ninety seven, and dan Quell was sworn
in by the first woman to serve on the United
States Supreme Court, Sandra Dale O'Connor from Arizona. The Constitution
specifically sets forth the oath that is required by the president.
(13:03):
But it doesn't set forth the oath that the vice
president and other officers are to take, other than to
say I want to make sure I say this correctly,
that they must uphold the Constitution. It does not specify
the form of that oath. And there's a whole history
(13:23):
behind this. I think I'll post this to Facebook. It's
fascinating how the oaths came about and the history of
the swearing inn. If you love the pomp and circumstance
and the tradition, you might find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
And we will put that in. Oh we did.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
We put that in the Blast today, So if you
read our daily Blast, you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Can go there.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
If you're not signed up, go to Michael Berryshow dot com.
And a lot of background materials that we talk about
are posted to our daily email that we send out
to listeners. And of course we never sell or share
your email address. I wish everybody would take that approach.
The President pardoned fifteen hundred January sixth hostages.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
There were some of them.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Our friend Nick Sercey was trying to get some of
them out of prison last night. He ordered that it
be immediate, and some of the prisons were being very
difficult about releasing them, to their lawyers, to their families,
to their friends. Those individuals are going to come forward
with stories because I've already heard background on some of
(14:26):
these of abuse by those prison guards, of terrible treatment,
of horrible things said and done to them. And I
want every one of those prison guards investigated, who is
accused of abuse against those j six hostages. President Trump
(14:47):
signed an executive order clarifying birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This has Clip five OHO three romon.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
This next order relates to the definition of a birth
right citizenship under the fortunate Hevenue.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
The United States. It's a good one. Birthright. That's a
big one. What about that one at the court that
is playing.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Could be.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I think we have good grounds, but you could be right,
and you'll find out. It's ridiculous. We're the only country
in the world that does this with birthright, as.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
But you know, we'll see. We think we have very
good un.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
President Trump is absolutely right, it's absolutely ridiculous. You know,
Democrats used to agree with us. All Americans believed that
birthright citizenship was being abused and the Fourteenth Amendment does
not protect it. That's what that executive order ensured. In fact,
I've got an audio clip i'll play for you of
(15:49):
Harry Reid, then the Democrat leader, saying that these anchor
babies were bad for American.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
People who want to.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Come to this country but do not qualify, have abused
our laws. And when you provide all the protections for
your citizens that we do, when you provide a social
safety in that, when you provide free education, when you
provide all of these things and the rest of the
world doesn't, then they simply want to come here and
(16:27):
take part of it. They want to take part in it.
Should I say, but that system falls apart the moment
you open it up to everyone. You can't afford it,
you can't administer it, which causes it to collapse. And
many of you know about Cloward pivot and all of
these sorts of things. But President Trump signing an executive
(16:51):
order clarifying birthright citizenship is something that should not have
been needed used to Democrats agreed with us, Hey, you
can't break into our country illegally. This was Harry Reid,
who would be the Senate majority leader for Democrats twenty
years ago.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough?
How about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
No, see country would do that right?
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Yes, again, if you break our laws by entering this
country without permission and give birth to a child, we
reward that child with US citizenship and guarantee of full
access to all public and social services this society provides.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And that's a lot of services.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Is it any wonder that two thirds of the babies
born at tax for expensive country county run hospitals in
Los Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
That used to be what we all agreed to. What
kind of people are we getting when people are willing
to break our laws and come here? Do you think
that's the best and brightest. They're not sending us their best.
President Trump did something that it's a wonder it took
till now to do, classifying the Mexican drug cartels as
(18:19):
foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This is actually an executive order designating the cartels and
other organizations to before terrorist organizations, and it's a big one.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes, sir, people have wanted to do this for years.
So they are now designated as stereost organizations foreign.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And from Mexico.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Probably doesn't want that that we have to do what's right.
They're killing our people. They're killing two hundred and fifty
three hundred thousand American people a year, not one hundred
like as and reported for fifteen years. It's probably three
hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The cartels are more powerful than almost every army in
the world, and they are actively engage in terrorist activities
against our country, one part of which is sending fentanyl
(19:28):
into this country that is killing our youth. My brother
was a narcotics officer and he told me that no
street drug has ever scared him the way fentanyl did.
And I said, why is that And he said, well,
(19:48):
if you die of alcohol poisoning, you're just as dead
as you are with fentanyl or anything else. But you
had to work at it. You don't accident lead die
of alcohol poisoning. You might have a problem. You might
be being hazed. That often happens. Fraternities get out of
(20:09):
hand and these young men are acting stupid and they
keep pouring something down their throat when they shouldn't and
the system doesn't shut down in time, which is why
you pass out. To keep you from this nonsense, your
body's trying to build a resistance to it. But alcohol
poisoning you got to work at heroin a lot easier.
(20:30):
And then you've got all the diletorious effects of you know,
putting needles in your arm and using those needles are
dirty because you're sharing them.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They're not easy to come by.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Hygienes are not real, real good on sanitation levels. For
all that stuff, you've got other drugs that can lead
to death over a long period of time, which gives
you a run up during which you can have an intervention.
You can save the life of your loved one. And
(20:59):
I'll tell you something, it's real easy. I've heard people
say this, it's real easy to judge that kids who
die of overdoses were bad kids and our parents. Let
me tell you something, My kids have been pretty good about.
My kids are Crockett does not drink at all. Michael
(21:20):
will walk around an entire party with a beer and
typically not drink it because he doesn't enjoy it. But
I got to tell you something. A lot of kids
will unintentionally try fentanyl. And I've had officers tell me
this happens, and that is, Hey, this is some candy
my brother gave us. It's kind of cool. You ought
(21:41):
to try it, and that kid hadn't tried it, but
he has his buddy tried and it's laced with fentanyl.
One little you remember a nerd. Little nerds will crackle.
One little piece is enough to kill you, and it
can and people die under those terms. That's a life
that doesn't come back. That's your baby. I knew we
(22:05):
had a problem when I saw polling in New Hampshire
back in the spring that one of the top issues
for why New Hampshire voters were switching from Democrats to
Republican was because of the street drug fentanyl, the presence
of it in the state of New Hampshire. We know
(22:25):
it's bad in Texas, they don't have to haul it
very far, but when it becomes an issue in New Hampshire,
you know it's an issue. But it's not just fentanyl
and all the other drugs. That's not the only thing
they're trafficking and making billions of dollars. They're also trafficking
human beings. There is and more and more is being revealed,
(22:48):
whether it's Epstein or p Diddy, there are more powerful
and rich people who have an appetite for little children.
Then I think most people can fathom, and a willingness
to spend anything and do anything to serve that appetite.
(23:13):
There is an entire pipeline to the industry of sex trafficking,
much of it children, that comes through the cartels.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Not only that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They're sending hitmen, they're staffing gang members, they're using muscle.
It's the old fashioned mafia. Heck, a buddy of mine,
Russell Leaborrow, that owns TEXTBX restaurants, says, the cartels own
the uh.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
They own the avocado trade.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Every box of avocados you buy, the avocado farmer has
to pay the cartel to move it. Mean what the
cartels will do when the farmers get a little too
big for the breeches and don't want to pay there
their share to the mafia boss, They just shut down
the streets. They stand in the streets with entire armies.
(24:07):
And these guys are sophisticated, they're trained. They're in active
warfare with each other. The local police, the state police,
the federal police are scared to death of them. A
lot of them are on the payroll of these cartels.
This is a terrorist activity. Instead of sending billions to Ukraine,
(24:30):
they're not on our streets.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
We need to be focused right.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Here, right now on the Mexican cartels. And God bless
Donald Trump that he's willing to take this on. Listening
to Michael Barry shows President Trump signed an executive order
withdrawing from the World's Health Organization. Globalism requires world organizations
(25:02):
that are controlled by Klaus and his commis, who have
this sort of informal influence, if not downright power, that
they use to seduce public health officials like Fauci. I
(25:22):
suspect they pay him under the table. These are part
of the reasons why Fauci needed his.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Pardon. The World Health Organization.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Is off the rails and they are engaged in no
way in promoting good health for anybody. The influence of
people like Bill Gates in that organization should be the
biggest red flag. Bill Gates is engaged in playing God
and getting rich, and as bad as it is for
(25:58):
the American people, he treats the people of Africa like
some sort of lab rats, and I find it disgusting.
Here is the executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Withdrawing from the World Health Organizations.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Ooh, that's a big one, So we paid.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Five hundred million dollars to World Health when obviously and
I terminated in China.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
With one point four billion people.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
We have three fifteen we have Nobody knows what we
have because so many people came in illegally.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
But let's say we have three twenty five. They had
one point four billion.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
They were paying thirty nine million, We were paying five
hundred million.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It seemed a little unfair to me, so that wasn't
the reason.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But I dropped out. They offered me to come back
for thirty nine million. In theory, it should be listening
to that. But you know, and when Biden came back,
they came back for five hundred and he knew.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That you're going to come back four thirty nine million.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
They wanted us back so madly, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They can't survive without America, and he knows it. It's
hard for people who do not negotiate to win to
understand what Trump does. Wall Street journal is writing these
stories about how Trump's tariffs are going to be so bad.
They're going to be so bad. These tariffs are going
(27:30):
to be so bad. Let me explain the tariffs. How
this works and what he's doing. America has used tariffs
as part of our trade strategy for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
In fact, Grover Cleveland, who is the only.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Other president to serve non consecutive terms, in his first term,
aggressively used tariffs and he aggravated the wrong commercial interests
who went against him to defeat him. Tariffs are a
way of saying to another country, you want the world's
(28:07):
largest market for your products, Well, you're going to do
business with us in other ways on our terms, and
if you don't, then we're going to slap a tariff
on your product. And I've explained it like this. Let's
say the Mexicans send a lot of avocados up here.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
They do.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
There was once a day, not so long ago, you
couldn't import avocados. Now, this was for the explosion in
tex mex restaurants, which is a big buyer of avocados.
But there was the idea that Mexican avocados had a
bug that would infest our crops and destroy our crops,
(28:50):
protecting the California avocado industry. Once that was opened up,
Mexican avocado farms, many of them then owned by Americans,
absolutely exploded and now I'll bet you we buy I
don't know, I'd have to look it up, but i'll
bet you we buy the lion's share of Mexican avocados.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
To this day. So if Trump were to.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Say, hey, if you want to send avocados up here,
which enriches the cartels because they've basically hijacked the avocado
business and we were paying ten dollars a box for it,
then we're going to put a five dollars of tariff
on there, so you're going to have to sell it
in this market for eighteen dollars. At that point, if
(29:39):
American buyers say, hey, it made sense at ten, but
at fifteen that's too much. I can't pass that on
to my consumers, so we'll start buying California avocados. Well,
once that demand dropped down, that would mean that the
avocado companies and Mexico's economy because it's a big part
of their economy, would suffer and have a lot of
(30:00):
their agricultural interests. So they would come back to the
table and say, President Trump, what can we do to
get you to lift that tariff? And that's where he says,
I want you to stop the illegals who are coming
in from south to Mexico, walking through Mexico and coming
into the United States. And I want you to stop
(30:22):
your people from coming into this country because it's a
second leading form of revenues for your country, and we
know you're sending them up here to send them money back.
And I want you to prevent the running of drugs
across our border. If you do those things, then I'll take.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
The tariff off.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Trump's negotiating strategy and always has been, is he doesn't
walk in the room and say, well, y'all are nice.
You're nice, I'm nice. We're all nice. Let's see if we.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Can get a good deal done.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
That doesn't make somebody give you a good deal. But
people who don't know how to negotiate, which is people
in government, people in media, don't understand this. So Trump
walks in the room, he punches you in the face,
and he turns around and walks off, and you beg
him before he leaves, whoa what can we do for
you to make you happy? Do you want somebody who
(31:18):
is negotiating for our best interests? Or do you want
somebody who tells you all the things that cannot be
done because they haven't been done. Trump's a guy that
gets things done, there's no denying that, and so he
uses things like this, the withdrawal from the World Health Organization.
(31:41):
We'll end up if we do go back, having much
greater authority for pennies on the dollar. Democrats aren't about
to negotiate that deal. You see these organizations, World Health Organization,
United Nations, there so many of them, my goodness, it's
(32:02):
such a boondoggle. And the people who populate these organizations
are the corrupt people in third world countries who are
put there by their king or their chancellor or their
prime minister, and there's kickbacks being given. There's a great,
great documentary on FIFA that administers the World Cup and
(32:26):
how corrupt that organization became, and how choosing where the
World Cup would be held was basically being sold to
