Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Let's have a conversation about democracy. We are not a democracy.
I know that Ms. Evans, your junior.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Year Civics teacher told you that.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I know that we have a love affair with his
idea that we take democracy to the rest of the world,
that democracy is good, that democracy is battling communism. We
believe in democracy because we're not Heathens, and it is
(01:06):
ingrained into Americans that we have a democracy and we
want everyone to have democracy because democracy is wonderful. Leaving
aside for a moment that Iran did not have democracy
when Shah Paulavi was governing a very stable, relatively secular
(01:29):
nation and democracy led to the Muslim revolution, Islamist revolution
that made that the most dangerous country in the world today.
That was actually democracy. Disturbingly so, Egypt was a stable
country and the leader was deposed, overthrown, and pushed out
(01:57):
for the politically popular Muslim brotherhood. I think Morear was
the name of the replacement, and we knew it would happen.
We have seen democracy as such destroy certain countries, particularly
(02:17):
fanatical Muslim countries, and the concept of democracy per se
needs to be understood clearly. Now that's not a popular
thing to say, right, Hitler bad, Lincoln good. We like
to have very simple things that we can hold on
(02:39):
to because it simplifies things and then we can go
to the ball game and not have to worry about
all this heavy stuff. Abe Lincoln's the greatest president ever
because he is honest and he's he's honest as day
as long, and he's good.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Honest. Ay, we love all honest Ave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, what about what about the fact that honest Abe
had a general removed in Missouri or in anticipating the
slaves because he wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think it was Fremont. Well, he's honest a as
long as he's honest.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Ad.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's not to say that nothing we know is true.
Everything is untrue, and it's not my message. My message
is that we must be careful to understand what we're
talking about, and that complicated matters can be simplified. But
you and I, not the idiots, not the low information.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
But you and.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I have to think on a different plane because we
have to explain to the other folks how the cowiate
the cabbage. To begin with back to my original point.
We are not a democracy, pure and simple. If we were,
it would be like the ancient days of Greece. We
would be called to vote every other day. It may
(03:51):
feel like you're constantly having to vote. Instead of Texas,
right now we have our non uniform election dates. We're
in the middle of an early vote for school boards
and all towns and mud boards and bonds and things
like that. And you know, between the every two years
and every four years and off year elections and all
this stuff, it can add up. It can seem like
you're constantly voting, but you're not. Congress is but you're not.
(04:15):
If you were, you wouldn't be able to do any work.
So what we do is we vote democratically demost meaning
the people, the populace krussey crasy meaning a government of
So a theocracy is a government of religion. So Iran
(04:38):
would be not a pure democracy per se, but a
government by the Muslim governing authority. A democracy would be
a government of the people, we like to say, but
we would be voting all the time. So instead we
vote for people, we call them representatives in the lower House.
(05:04):
We vote on them every two years and then we
vote every six years on senators, two per state. That
was part of the compromise, and they serve for six years,
and each of the states gets two senators, even if
you only have one congressman. So in the upper House,
the Senate, every state is represented with two senators, which
means some states are a bit overrepresented because they're very small.
(05:26):
In states like California, Texas, New York, and Florida are
underrepresented because we have so many people represented with only
two people in the Senate, whereas you get a state
like Vermont or Idaho and they get two senators, or
Montana or Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But that was the compromise.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The House is based on population, so we have a
democratic republic. We vote on people who then do all
the voting for us, and we may not like the
way they vote, but that's the process. Well, you and
I know that the life of Donald Trump is not
as simple as we might like to believe.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You and I know that the life of Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Or Bob Dylan or any number of other people is
quite unlike our own. Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis or a
lot of people, and we probably wouldn't understand their life
it would be quite different than our own. We don't
want to hear that because they're a celebrity and we
(06:32):
hate celebrity. I get that, and we don't know. They're
certainly not better than us. I'm not saying that, but
it is to say that they're different from us. And
one of the ways people at that level are very different,
and Elon Musk is a great example, is that Elon
has moved in and out of companies in a very
loose way for the last twenty five years, on a
(06:54):
scale you wouldn't imagine PayPal. For instance, Tesla was a
company that existed. He came into, took it to the
next level. And when he comes in, he's twenty four
to seven. He sleeps under a desk. He puts a
desk out in the middle of the floor of the manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Floor and he sleeps under there. He also just happened
to create a boring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Company, which he quite tongue in cheek, called the boring
company that bores under ground to create tunnels. He created SpaceX,
which has surpassed NASA in space travel. It's absolutely amazing
the things that they've accomplished. He has created technologies, Neurlink,
(07:33):
that could change everything about everything. He's been involved at
the top levels of AI and oh, by the way,
Starlink the greatest provider of internet access in the world,
especially to places that couldn't get wires, and we don't
even think about that. So when he came in to
do Doge, it was never meant that he was going
(07:55):
to hang out there. This is not a guy who
has receptions and brings all his family photo in there.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in and out. So when you're hearing.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
People say, which I believe to be true and always did,
that he probably leaves in the month of May.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And now he has said it himself.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's not rancor between him and the president. That's who
Elon Musk is. He's got.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He's trying to take a he's trying to take humans tomorrows.
Don't let them tell you the Trump administration's falling apart.
It's not rare.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
This is Micky, Gilly and the girls all get pretty
closing time.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
When you're listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Four sweet father is dying. She'll soon be dead. We're boiling.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh shuts.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Those brain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They keep falling.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Six hundred thousand herosia atomic bombs exploding every day. I'm
not exaggerating. Weird done food to forgive us. Those band
bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
They keep falling.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
The accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat
as would be released by six hundred thousands erosionmaglass atomic
bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. That's what's
boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs,
and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating
the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea
(09:26):
level and causing these waves of rain.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Bombs falling on my head bullion in this century. Four
sweet mother is dying. She'll soon be dead. We're boiling ocehuts, poops,
rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
They keep falling.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Six hundred thousand herosia atomic bombs away.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rain bombs fallen on top of my head.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
They're like rain drop, but instead of water, it's nuclear
bombs every day, six hundred thousand of them. It's called science.
Maybe you've heard of it, and there's only one solution
destroy Western civilizations. Science.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm not much of a whistler. Thank you to Chance
McLean for giving us that intro to the story that
they let al Gore.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Out of the nuthouse again to give yet another speech
on global warming.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oceans this time, but he did go with a proven
losing Democrat strategy. He compared the Trump administration two. You
remember Godwin's law, right Hitler's Third Reich.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
I want to note that before I use what is
not a president? I understand very well why it is
wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reiche to any other movement.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
But there are important lessons from the history of that
emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
In the immediate aftermath of.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
World War Two, a small group of philosophers who had
escaped Hittler's murderous regime returned to Germany and performed a
kind of moral autopsy on the Third Rich. The most
famous of the so called Frankfurt stool of philosophers.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Was a man named Jurgen Habermas.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Best known, I would say, but it was Habermas's mentor
Theodore Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that
nation's descent into hell was and I quote, the conversion
of all questions of truth into questions of power. He
(12:16):
described how the Nazis and I quote again, attacked the
very heart of the distinction between true and false end quote.
The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their
own preferred version of reality. They say Ukraine attacked Russia
instead of the other way around, and expect us to
(12:39):
believe it at home. They attack heroes who have defended
our nation in war and against cyber attacks as traders.
They say the climate crisis is a hoast invented by
the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing. They say coal is clean.
They say win turbanes called cancer. They say sea level rise,
(13:02):
this creates more.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Hold on, hold on, you can laugh all you want.
I do believe all that. Now, you can laugh all
you want. You're that crazed poodle the massage the masseuse
said sexually assaulted her. You're that crazy al gore. So
you can laugh all you want. They say it was
(13:23):
created by the Chinese. Yeah yeah, and so was COVID.
Yeah exactly. We know who's paying your bills you want
to laugh at opinions that we have, so be it.
I do think those things. I am unashamed that I
think those things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This creates more beachfront poverty.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Their allies and the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue
that those who want to stop using this guy as
an open sewer for God's sake need to be more
realistic and acqui ass through the huge increases and the
burning of more and more fossil fuels, which is what
they're pushing, even though that is the principal cause of
(14:09):
the climate crisis.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know, al Gore never recovered from South Park. Comedy
is so powerful, especially at pointing things out that people
may not have noticed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
South Park pointed out that al Gore is not in
on the joke.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Al Gore is the guy out there. You've been out
with a group of guys. You don't know him that well,
but there's one guy in the group and he's lying, yeah, well, yes.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
It was a good hang out with you guy. You know,
I was in the Olympics. Oh you were. I was
an Olympics. I was an Olympics. I was a track star.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I saw you're white.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I pretty much know every white track star going back
fifty years, actually maybe going back to Jesse Owens, even
some of the track stars from other countries. Which country
were us?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Really?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What year of eighty six? Where was eighty it was?
You mean eighty four? You mean Los Angeles? And everybody
you know, nobody says you're a liar. You're a liar.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You just kind of shoot a sidelong glance and everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Al Gore is the guy that everybody knows is an
absolute buffoon except for him, and he just keeps going
at it like he's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And South Park.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exposed him, taking himself seriously so badly that he has
never recovered and he never will.
Speaker 10 (15:48):
You see, there is something out there which threatens our
very existence, and maybe that into the human race as
we know it. I'm talking, of course about man bear
a pig. It is a creature which roams the earth alone.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It is half man, half bear, and half pig.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Some people say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well,
I'm here to tell you now, Man Bear Pig is
very real and he most certainly exists. I'm cereal. Man
Bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what you've
done man. Bear pig simply wants to get.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You like super cereal.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember when Rush Limbaugh debated Al Gore on Nightline.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We'll play that coming up. That's a romp through some
good history right there.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Prosen putting on a scrape the Michael Berry Joe Jello
brand pudding pops made with the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Al Gore has been a climate nut for decades.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I miss Rush Limbaugh, I know you, miss Rush Limbaugh.
And by the way, let me say this. Sometimes people
will criticize Clay and Buck to me, And first of all,
Clay and Buck are friends of mine, good friends, dear friends.
I love them. But I also think you have to
(17:15):
understand that was the most coveted spot in radio. It
was also the spot that every single person was scared
to death that they would have to follow Rush. And
you have to realize it, no matter who you put
(17:37):
in that position, that was going to be insanely tough.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And look, they're different.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Than Rush, but so is everybody else. So all I
would say is you don't have to minimize other people
to show your love for Rush. Nobody is Rush. The
boys would say that Clive Bucks say that so what
everybody else. Hannity's not Rush, Glen Back's not Rush.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
They're all different.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I do ask me any things on Facebook sometimes and
I say, you know, prefer you make it a yes or.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
No question, and when you do it, don't ask me
to rank what.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Is the best this or the best that. I don't
think in those terms. And the reason is I think
in terms. I'm all for winning a trophy. If you
win the championship, okay, who won the championship that team,
But when you ask me what's the best bourbon or
what's the best barbecue cut, or what's this or what's that?
The thing about it is I stopped thinking that way
a long time ago. Because if this is the best
(18:42):
restaurant and I decide it's the best restaurant and it
goes out of business, I'm bummed out right. So what
I learned was to enjoy a lot of things. It's
a little more stoicism.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I am a.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Person of deep Christian faith, but I think in a
secular sense there is something to be learned from meditation
and from calm, and from resetting and balancing yourself out.
And I think that understanding that you want to find
joy in little things and not indulge in anger. Well,
(19:25):
one of the ways I found joy was gas station
candy or little things that I can enjoy that don't
cost a lot of money, that are plentiful, that are replaceable.
So I say all that because it's been bubbling up.
I really miss Russe Limbaugh. I miss being able to
(19:48):
you know, our morning show ends at eleven AM, and
then we spend about an hour or so producing things
for different stations we have around the country, and then
we typically take a little break, maybe we'll go work out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Maybe go visit a show sponsor.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
And during that drive I would look forward to turning
it on mid show and seeing what Rush was talking about.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Loved it so much fun.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And you know, you know, you take for granted it's free,
So since you didn't have to pay for it, you
don't realize how much you valued it because you'd never
been forced to show that you valued it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You got it for free.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The cost of hearing Rush was listening to the show
sponsors in between, and hopefully spending your money with them
instead of somewhere else. And I know I spent money
on the show sponsors. I believed in Rush. I wanted
to support the show. So anyway, I missed him so
much when he went off the air. And I was
so honored when Ali and the Guy Dean and all
(20:48):
the guys invited us to guest hosts on Christmas Eve
the year that he passed, and Clay and Buck were
taking a much needed vacation at the time. And you
know what, when the theme song started, you know, we
had prepared, we staffed up, we hired Jim Mudd.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We've kept on since then.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
When Russia's theme song started, they were counting down for us.
He said, all right, uh, theme in five four three
two one, but when it starts, don't don't don on
on On. Ramon looked at me and he goes, I'm
gonna be honest, I'm nervous. And we had talked about
we're going to be cool, will be cool. Hou's Fonsie's cool?
(21:29):
Cool like Phonsie.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Anyway, I just.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's like my brother and my mom. When you lose people,
I like to talk about them. And I hope you
understand that. So here was Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore
in nineteen ninety two in a debate, and I just
love Rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Got local environmental problem, regional problems like add rain. Now
we've got a whole new category of global or strategic problems,
which include the hole in the od zone layer which
now could appear above the United States, global climate change,
the destruction of the rainfart.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
At a rate that means they'll be totally.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Gone in another few decades unless we've got the pollution
of the oceans and the atmosphere and the like. These
represent brand new challenges that call for a new kind
of respond Russia.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know, and
you tend to I don't want to see you dismiss
all of these issues, but at least you dismissed them
as having been proven beyond the shadow of a death.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Absolutely, I don't think that there's anything conclusive about what
Senator Gore said, With all due respect, I think, for example,
there is no ozone hole over the United States. If
we want to get into detailed discussion of ozone depletion,
we can. But I think ted that there is not
a crisis. See, this is the problem I have. I
don't think the Earth is fragile. I don't think the
ecology is fragilely balanced. And I think that the doomsday
(22:50):
industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood acting
community who say we've only got ten years left to
save our planet.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
We've got to act now.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
There's no way if what these people say is true,
that we can solve these problems in ten years. Anyway,
it's budget time in Washington. NASA's being cut, and I
think that this fright and the doom scenario is designed
to frighten people. Everything in this country today seems to
be a crisis. We can't do anything without it being
having to face it as a crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
We don't have any time to think about it.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
There are as many scientists and maybe even more on
the opposite side of all of these doomsday predictions.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And I think that that, oh, yes there are that's
not true. If I can dump in there dead where
the ozone hole is concerned, for example, the linkage between
these chemical flora flora garments and the ozone hole is established.
There may be one hundredth of one percent of the
scientific community that disputes it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, no, no, no, it's far more than that.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Has had that the environmental movement, as fueled by the
militants who lead it. I think is the new home
of socialism.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
The Ozone hole is threatening to open up above North America,
above Inn, above it, and still we're not reacting.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll be careful, it's coming. Al Gore says it's coming.
It's been coming since the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Something nice.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can always say it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I told you earlier that Al Gore they let him
out of the nuthouse again. I mean, this couldn't be
any better, could it. Let's roll Joe Biden out for
another speech. No, he's killing the brand yep. How about
Kamalas she wants to give a speech. No, what are
you gonna do? Stick with aoc. Bernie Sanders, that dude
(24:34):
with the crooked finger who points it all the time.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Has that awful way of talking.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
You know, they make my accent sound stupid, my Southern accent.
We're not very smart. Tell me you like Bernie sanders accent.
You tell me that sounds like a guy. That man
he put his head so far up Marxist theories that
he came.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I better not so. I told you.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Earlier that they got al Gore out on the And
let's make room for Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett said, we
don't need to be worried about boys and girls' locker
rooms or boys being transitioned.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That that's stupid. We need to stop that.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You're going to get a steady dose of Jasmine Crockett
and AOC and Bernie Sanders and Al Gore and Joe
Biden and Kamala Harris because you being aggravated by it,
and other people who tune in just to find out
what's going on, realizing how crazy they are. That's the point.
There is a grand strategy here. I mean, sure, I
(25:37):
could play Milton Friedman and Thomas Soul all day long.
We could have a party and talk about our core
ideas and capitalism, but that's not how we motivate people
to work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Folk Anyway, I told.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
You they let Al Gore out of the nuthouse to
give another speech, and I said, you know, at least
this time he didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans.
So I got an email said, did he really talk
about rain bombs and boiling oceans? Do you think I
would make that up? So Ramon went deep into the
(26:13):
archives and dusted this one off. This was Al Gore
speaking at the WEF.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's the world. We got a bombing for these emissions down.
Hey used to hit that too early. Bring it back,
all right, go, We're.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Going to bring these emissions down. And just to put
the science in a slightly different context, people are familiar
with that thin blue line that the astronauts bring back
in their pictures from space. That's the part of the
atmosphere that has oxygen, the troposphere, and it's only five
(26:47):
to seven kilometers thick. That's what we're using as an
open sewer. If you could drive a car straight up
in the air at interstate highway speeds, you get to
the top of that blue line in five minutes and
all the greenhouse gas pollution would be below you. We're
still putting one hundred and sixty two million tons into
it every single day, and the accumulated amount is now
(27:07):
trapping as much extra heat as would be released by
six hundred thousand Hirosima class atomic bombs exploding every single
day on the Earth. That's what's boiling the oceans, creating
these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the
moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and
melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing
(27:27):
these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach one billion
in this century. Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian
trends that have come from just a few million refugees.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
What about a billion?
Speaker 8 (27:40):
We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world.
We have to act so and answer to your question,
I would say, we have to have a sense of
urgency much greater than we have yet had and we
have had, and we need.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
To make some changes.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Ramon was laughing when we started into our second segment
and he said, you're going to do two segments on
al Gore. I didn't expect to do this. I didn't
but al Gore poles so badly, and it's so annoying,
and so he's like herpies. You can't get rid of him.
He's like a roach that he's in the news. And
(28:22):
so I told Ramone, dig into the archive, your choice,
dealer's choice, pull out one of your favorite al Gore's.
In the next hour, I promise we'll move to something different.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
What a beautiful day. I know you want to go
do something. We could go to the beach. Nah, I
don't feel like swimming today.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Maybe I could drive us out to the country and
we could go for a hike.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Okay, that's weird. I don't remember rain in today's forecast.
I know it's really coming down. Look over there, is
that a tornado? It is the hell is happening? I
don't understand.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
It was beautiful here just a minute ago.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh my god, it's an earthquake. What the heck is
going on? Wait? I think I know why this is happening.
Why what kind of car is this?
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
It for one fifty?
Speaker 10 (29:16):
It is I love trucks, and I only try vehicles
that get low mileage to the gallon.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why, honey, this is out fault.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
When you started that car, it created just enough carbon
emissions and the atmosphere to set off a massive climate
change crisis.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh no, this is all my fault. This is just
like what al Gore said when he tried to warn us.
Speaker 12 (29:38):
Oh no, we should have gotten a prius. Why didn't
we listen to al Gore?
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Al Gore tried to save us, but we were too
stupid to listen.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And now we're dying from climate change.
Speaker 12 (29:49):
Climate change, and drowning, but mostly the drowning.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You were right, out, Gore. You were right, you were right.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Al Are you okay? L? I wake up? L now
El honey, wake up al? L Are you okay? L?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
What?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Yes, I was just having a dream, honey. No, it
was a goods dream, a very very good dream. Now
I'm going to go back to sleep and try to
dream it again. Now close your eye. I'll gore, I
mean brethident gore.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You know, this is as good a time as any
to remind you folks. We've lost the schools, between drag
Queen Story Hour and the universities.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We've lost the media.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You know, when you study wars and you see a
country and you see the institutions of power and influence
each falling, you can see where you are and revolution,
you know, as these things happen, and these different pillars
of public opinion and of strength, industry, universities, We've pretty
(31:22):
much lost every pillar of influence in our society, even
many churches. It's crazy what's coming out of some of
the pulpits around this country. But the one thing you
can control is your own dinnertainment. So teach your children
talk about difficult things. Don't scream at them if they
(31:44):
disagree with you. They may not understand things the way
you do, but teach them
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Let's have a conversation about democracy. We are not a democracy.
I know that Ms. Evans, your junior.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Year Civics teacher told you that.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I know that we have a love affair with his
idea that we take democracy to the rest of the world,
that democracy is good, that democracy is battling communism. We
believe in democracy because we're not Heathens, and it is
(01:06):
ingrained into Americans that we have a democracy and we
want everyone to have democracy because democracy is wonderful. Leaving
aside for a moment that Iran did not have democracy
when Shah Paulavi was governing a very stable, relatively secular
(01:29):
nation and democracy led to the Muslim revolution, Islamist revolution
that made that the most dangerous country in the world today.
That was actually democracy. Disturbingly so, Egypt was a stable
country and the leader was deposed, overthrown, and pushed out
(01:57):
for the politically popular Muslim brotherhood. I think Morear was
the name of the replacement, and we knew it would happen.
We have seen democracy as such destroy certain countries, particularly
(02:17):
fanatical Muslim countries, and the concept of democracy per se
needs to be understood clearly. Now that's not a popular
thing to say, right, Hitler bad, Lincoln good. We like
to have very simple things that we can hold on
(02:39):
to because it simplifies things and then we can go
to the ball game and not have to worry about
all this heavy stuff. Abe Lincoln's the greatest president ever
because he is honest and he's he's honest as day
as long, and he's good.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Honest. Ay, we love all honest Ave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, what about what about the fact that honest Abe
had a general removed in Missouri or in anticipating the
slaves because he wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think it was Fremont. Well, he's honest a as
long as he's honest.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Ad.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's not to say that nothing we know is true.
Everything is untrue, and it's not my message. My message
is that we must be careful to understand what we're
talking about, and that complicated matters can be simplified. But
you and I, not the idiots, not the low information.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
But you and.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I have to think on a different plane because we
have to explain to the other folks how the cowiate
the cabbage. To begin with back to my original point.
We are not a democracy, pure and simple. If we were,
it would be like the ancient days of Greece. We
would be called to vote every other day. It may
(03:51):
feel like you're constantly having to vote. Instead of Texas,
right now we have our non uniform election dates. We're
in the middle of an early vote for school boards
and all towns and mud boards and bonds and things
like that. And you know, between the every two years
and every four years and off year elections and all
this stuff, it can add up. It can seem like
you're constantly voting, but you're not. Congress is but you're not.
(04:15):
If you were, you wouldn't be able to do any work.
So what we do is we vote democratically demost meaning
the people, the populace krussey crasy meaning a government of
So a theocracy is a government of religion. So Iran
(04:38):
would be not a pure democracy per se, but a
government by the Muslim governing authority. A democracy would be
a government of the people, we like to say, but
we would be voting all the time. So instead we
vote for people, we call them representatives in the lower House.
(05:04):
We vote on them every two years and then we
vote every six years on senators, two per state. That
was part of the compromise, and they serve for six years,
and each of the states gets two senators, even if
you only have one congressman. So in the upper House,
the Senate, every state is represented with two senators, which
means some states are a bit overrepresented because they're very small.
(05:26):
In states like California, Texas, New York, and Florida are
underrepresented because we have so many people represented with only
two people in the Senate, whereas you get a state
like Vermont or Idaho and they get two senators, or
Montana or Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But that was the compromise.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The House is based on population, so we have a
democratic republic. We vote on people who then do all
the voting for us, and we may not like the
way they vote, but that's the process. Well, you and
I know that the life of Donald Trump is not
as simple as we might like to believe.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You and I know that the life of Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Or Bob Dylan or any number of other people is
quite unlike our own. Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis or a
lot of people, and we probably wouldn't understand their life
it would be quite different than our own. We don't
want to hear that because they're a celebrity and we
(06:32):
hate celebrity. I get that, and we don't know. They're
certainly not better than us. I'm not saying that, but
it is to say that they're different from us. And
one of the ways people at that level are very different,
and Elon Musk is a great example, is that Elon
has moved in and out of companies in a very
loose way for the last twenty five years, on a
(06:54):
scale you wouldn't imagine PayPal. For instance, Tesla was a
company that existed. He came into, took it to the
next level. And when he comes in, he's twenty four
to seven. He sleeps under a desk. He puts a
desk out in the middle of the floor of the manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Floor and he sleeps under there. He also just happened
to create a boring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Company, which he quite tongue in cheek, called the boring
company that bores under ground to create tunnels. He created SpaceX,
which has surpassed NASA in space travel. It's absolutely amazing
the things that they've accomplished. He has created technologies, Neurlink,
(07:33):
that could change everything about everything. He's been involved at
the top levels of AI and oh, by the way,
Starlink the greatest provider of internet access in the world,
especially to places that couldn't get wires, and we don't
even think about that. So when he came in to
do Doge, it was never meant that he was going
(07:55):
to hang out there. This is not a guy who
has receptions and brings all his family photo in there.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It was in and out. So when you're hearing.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
People say, which I believe to be true and always did,
that he probably leaves in the month of May.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And now he has said it himself.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's not rancor between him and the president. That's who
Elon Musk is. He's got.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He's trying to take a he's trying to take humans tomorrows.
Don't let them tell you the Trump administration's falling apart.
It's not rare.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
This is Micky, Gilly and the girls all get pretty
closing time.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
When you're listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Four sweet father is dying. She'll soon be dead. We're boiling.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh shuts.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Those brain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They keep falling.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Six hundred thousand herosia atomic bombs exploding every day. I'm
not exaggerating. Weird done food to forgive us. Those band
bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
They keep falling.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
The accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat
as would be released by six hundred thousands erosionmaglass atomic
bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. That's what's
boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs,
and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating
the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea
(09:26):
level and causing these waves of rain.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Bombs falling on my head bullion in this century. Four
sweet mother is dying. She'll soon be dead. We're boiling ocehuts, poops,
rain bombs are falling on my head.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
They keep falling.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Six hundred thousand herosia atomic bombs away.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Rain bombs fallen on top of my head.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
They're like rain drop, but instead of water, it's nuclear
bombs every day, six hundred thousand of them. It's called science.
Maybe you've heard of it, and there's only one solution
destroy Western civilizations. Science.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm not much of a whistler. Thank you to Chance
McLean for giving us that intro to the story that
they let al Gore.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Out of the nuthouse again to give yet another speech
on global warming.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oceans this time, but he did go with a proven
losing Democrat strategy. He compared the Trump administration two. You
remember Godwin's law, right Hitler's Third Reich.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
I want to note that before I use what is
not a president? I understand very well why it is
wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reiche to any other movement.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
But there are important lessons from the history of that
emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
In the immediate aftermath of.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
World War Two, a small group of philosophers who had
escaped Hittler's murderous regime returned to Germany and performed a
kind of moral autopsy on the Third Rich. The most
famous of the so called Frankfurt stool of philosophers.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Was a man named Jurgen Habermas.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Best known, I would say, but it was Habermas's mentor
Theodore Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that
nation's descent into hell was and I quote, the conversion
of all questions of truth into questions of power. He
(12:16):
described how the Nazis and I quote again, attacked the
very heart of the distinction between true and false end quote.
The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their
own preferred version of reality. They say Ukraine attacked Russia
instead of the other way around, and expect us to
(12:39):
believe it at home. They attack heroes who have defended
our nation in war and against cyber attacks as traders.
They say the climate crisis is a hoast invented by
the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing. They say coal is clean.
They say win turbanes called cancer. They say sea level rise,
(13:02):
this creates more.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Hold on, hold on, you can laugh all you want.
I do believe all that. Now, you can laugh all
you want. You're that crazed poodle the massage the masseuse
said sexually assaulted her. You're that crazy al gore. So
you can laugh all you want. They say it was
(13:23):
created by the Chinese. Yeah yeah, and so was COVID.
Yeah exactly. We know who's paying your bills you want
to laugh at opinions that we have, so be it.
I do think those things. I am unashamed that I
think those things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This creates more beachfront poverty.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Their allies and the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue
that those who want to stop using this guy as
an open sewer for God's sake need to be more
realistic and acqui ass through the huge increases and the
burning of more and more fossil fuels, which is what
they're pushing, even though that is the principal cause of
(14:09):
the climate crisis.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You know, al Gore never recovered from South Park. Comedy
is so powerful, especially at pointing things out that people
may not have noticed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
South Park pointed out that al Gore is not in
on the joke.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Al Gore is the guy out there. You've been out
with a group of guys. You don't know him that well,
but there's one guy in the group and he's lying, yeah, well, yes.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
It was a good hang out with you guy. You know,
I was in the Olympics. Oh you were. I was
an Olympics. I was an Olympics. I was a track star.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I saw you're white.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I pretty much know every white track star going back
fifty years, actually maybe going back to Jesse Owens, even
some of the track stars from other countries. Which country
were us?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Really?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What year of eighty six? Where was eighty it was?
You mean eighty four? You mean Los Angeles? And everybody
you know, nobody says you're a liar. You're a liar.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You just kind of shoot a sidelong glance and everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Al Gore is the guy that everybody knows is an
absolute buffoon except for him, and he just keeps going
at it like he's retarded.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And South Park.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Exposed him, taking himself seriously so badly that he has
never recovered and he never will.
Speaker 10 (15:48):
You see, there is something out there which threatens our
very existence, and maybe that into the human race as
we know it. I'm talking, of course about man bear
a pig. It is a creature which roams the earth alone.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It is half man, half bear, and half pig.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Some people say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well,
I'm here to tell you now, Man Bear Pig is
very real and he most certainly exists. I'm cereal. Man
Bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what you've
done man. Bear pig simply wants to get.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You like super cereal.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember when Rush Limbaugh debated Al Gore on Nightline.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We'll play that coming up. That's a romp through some
good history right there.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Prosen putting on a scrape the Michael Berry Joe Jello
brand pudding pops made with the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Al Gore has been a climate nut for decades.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I miss Rush Limbaugh, I know you, miss Rush Limbaugh.
And by the way, let me say this. Sometimes people
will criticize Clay and Buck to me, And first of all,
Clay and Buck are friends of mine, good friends, dear friends.
I love them. But I also think you have to
(17:15):
understand that was the most coveted spot in radio. It
was also the spot that every single person was scared
to death that they would have to follow Rush. And
you have to realize it, no matter who you put
(17:37):
in that position, that was going to be insanely tough.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And look, they're different.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Than Rush, but so is everybody else. So all I
would say is you don't have to minimize other people
to show your love for Rush. Nobody is Rush. The
boys would say that Clive Bucks say that so what
everybody else. Hannity's not Rush, Glen Back's not Rush.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
They're all different.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I do ask me any things on Facebook sometimes and
I say, you know, prefer you make it a yes or.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
No question, and when you do it, don't ask me
to rank what.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Is the best this or the best that. I don't
think in those terms. And the reason is I think
in terms. I'm all for winning a trophy. If you
win the championship, okay, who won the championship that team,
But when you ask me what's the best bourbon or
what's the best barbecue cut, or what's this or what's that?
The thing about it is I stopped thinking that way
a long time ago. Because if this is the best
(18:42):
restaurant and I decide it's the best restaurant and it
goes out of business, I'm bummed out right. So what
I learned was to enjoy a lot of things. It's
a little more stoicism.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I am a.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Person of deep Christian faith, but I think in a
secular sense there is something to be learned from meditation
and from calm, and from resetting and balancing yourself out.
And I think that understanding that you want to find
joy in little things and not indulge in anger. Well,
(19:25):
one of the ways I found joy was gas station
candy or little things that I can enjoy that don't
cost a lot of money, that are plentiful, that are replaceable.
So I say all that because it's been bubbling up.
I really miss Russe Limbaugh. I miss being able to
(19:48):
you know, our morning show ends at eleven AM, and
then we spend about an hour or so producing things
for different stations we have around the country, and then
we typically take a little break, maybe we'll go work out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Maybe go visit a show sponsor.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
And during that drive I would look forward to turning
it on mid show and seeing what Rush was talking about.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Loved it so much fun.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And you know, you know, you take for granted it's free,
So since you didn't have to pay for it, you
don't realize how much you valued it because you'd never
been forced to show that you valued it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You got it for free.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The cost of hearing Rush was listening to the show
sponsors in between, and hopefully spending your money with them
instead of somewhere else. And I know I spent money
on the show sponsors. I believed in Rush. I wanted
to support the show. So anyway, I missed him so
much when he went off the air. And I was
so honored when Ali and the Guy Dean and all
(20:48):
the guys invited us to guest hosts on Christmas Eve
the year that he passed, and Clay and Buck were
taking a much needed vacation at the time. And you
know what, when the theme song started, you know, we
had prepared, we staffed up, we hired Jim Mudd.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
We've kept on since then.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
When Russia's theme song started, they were counting down for us.
He said, all right, uh, theme in five four three
two one, but when it starts, don't don't don on
on On. Ramon looked at me and he goes, I'm
gonna be honest, I'm nervous. And we had talked about
we're going to be cool, will be cool. Hou's Fonsie's cool?
(21:29):
Cool like Phonsie.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Anyway, I just.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's like my brother and my mom. When you lose people,
I like to talk about them. And I hope you
understand that. So here was Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore
in nineteen ninety two in a debate, and I just
love Rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Got local environmental problem, regional problems like add rain. Now
we've got a whole new category of global or strategic problems,
which include the hole in the od zone layer which
now could appear above the United States, global climate change,
the destruction of the rainfart.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
At a rate that means they'll be totally.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Gone in another few decades unless we've got the pollution
of the oceans and the atmosphere and the like. These
represent brand new challenges that call for a new kind
of respond Russia.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know, and
you tend to I don't want to see you dismiss
all of these issues, but at least you dismissed them
as having been proven beyond the shadow of a death.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Absolutely, I don't think that there's anything conclusive about what
Senator Gore said, With all due respect, I think, for example,
there is no ozone hole over the United States. If
we want to get into detailed discussion of ozone depletion,
we can. But I think ted that there is not
a crisis. See, this is the problem I have. I
don't think the Earth is fragile. I don't think the
ecology is fragilely balanced. And I think that the doomsday
(22:50):
industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood acting
community who say we've only got ten years left to
save our planet.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
We've got to act now.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
There's no way if what these people say is true,
that we can solve these problems in ten years. Anyway,
it's budget time in Washington. NASA's being cut, and I
think that this fright and the doom scenario is designed
to frighten people. Everything in this country today seems to
be a crisis. We can't do anything without it being
having to face it as a crisis.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
We don't have any time to think about it.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
There are as many scientists and maybe even more on
the opposite side of all of these doomsday predictions.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And I think that that, oh, yes there are that's
not true. If I can dump in there dead where
the ozone hole is concerned, for example, the linkage between
these chemical flora flora garments and the ozone hole is established.
There may be one hundredth of one percent of the
scientific community that disputes it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, no, no, no, it's far more than that.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Has had that the environmental movement, as fueled by the
militants who lead it. I think is the new home
of socialism.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
The Ozone hole is threatening to open up above North America,
above Inn, above it, and still we're not reacting.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll be careful, it's coming. Al Gore says it's coming.
It's been coming since the seventies.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Something nice.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can always say it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I told you earlier that Al Gore they let him
out of the nuthouse again. I mean, this couldn't be
any better, could it. Let's roll Joe Biden out for
another speech. No, he's killing the brand yep. How about
Kamalas she wants to give a speech. No, what are
you gonna do? Stick with aoc. Bernie Sanders, that dude
(24:34):
with the crooked finger who points it all the time.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Has that awful way of talking.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
You know, they make my accent sound stupid, my Southern accent.
We're not very smart. Tell me you like Bernie sanders accent.
You tell me that sounds like a guy. That man
he put his head so far up Marxist theories that
he came.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I better not so. I told you.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Earlier that they got al Gore out on the And
let's make room for Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett said, we
don't need to be worried about boys and girls' locker
rooms or boys being transitioned.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That that's stupid. We need to stop that.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You're going to get a steady dose of Jasmine Crockett
and AOC and Bernie Sanders and Al Gore and Joe
Biden and Kamala Harris because you being aggravated by it,
and other people who tune in just to find out
what's going on, realizing how crazy they are. That's the point.
There is a grand strategy here. I mean, sure, I
(25:37):
could play Milton Friedman and Thomas Soul all day long.
We could have a party and talk about our core
ideas and capitalism, but that's not how we motivate people
to work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Folk Anyway, I told.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
You they let Al Gore out of the nuthouse to
give another speech, and I said, you know, at least
this time he didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans.
So I got an email said, did he really talk
about rain bombs and boiling oceans? Do you think I
would make that up? So Ramon went deep into the
(26:13):
archives and dusted this one off. This was Al Gore
speaking at the WEF.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's the world. We got a bombing for these emissions down.
Hey used to hit that too early. Bring it back,
all right, go, We're.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Going to bring these emissions down. And just to put
the science in a slightly different context, people are familiar
with that thin blue line that the astronauts bring back
in their pictures from space. That's the part of the
atmosphere that has oxygen, the troposphere, and it's only five
(26:47):
to seven kilometers thick. That's what we're using as an
open sewer. If you could drive a car straight up
in the air at interstate highway speeds, you get to
the top of that blue line in five minutes and
all the greenhouse gas pollution would be below you. We're
still putting one hundred and sixty two million tons into
it every single day, and the accumulated amount is now
(27:07):
trapping as much extra heat as would be released by
six hundred thousand Hirosima class atomic bombs exploding every single
day on the Earth. That's what's boiling the oceans, creating
these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the
moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and
melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing
(27:27):
these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach one billion
in this century. Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian
trends that have come from just a few million refugees.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
What about a billion?
Speaker 8 (27:40):
We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world.
We have to act so and answer to your question,
I would say, we have to have a sense of
urgency much greater than we have yet had and we
have had, and we need.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
To make some changes.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Ramon was laughing when we started into our second segment
and he said, you're going to do two segments on
al Gore. I didn't expect to do this. I didn't
but al Gore poles so badly, and it's so annoying,
and so he's like herpies. You can't get rid of him.
He's like a roach that he's in the news. And
(28:22):
so I told Ramone, dig into the archive, your choice,
dealer's choice, pull out one of your favorite al Gore's.
In the next hour, I promise we'll move to something different.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
What a beautiful day. I know you want to go
do something. We could go to the beach. Nah, I
don't feel like swimming today.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
Maybe I could drive us out to the country and
we could go for a hike.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Okay, that's weird. I don't remember rain in today's forecast.
I know it's really coming down. Look over there, is
that a tornado? It is the hell is happening? I
don't understand.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
It was beautiful here just a minute ago.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh my god, it's an earthquake. What the heck is
going on? Wait? I think I know why this is happening.
Why what kind of car is this?
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Is this?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
It for one fifty?
Speaker 10 (29:16):
It is I love trucks, and I only try vehicles
that get low mileage to the gallon.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why, honey, this is out fault.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
When you started that car, it created just enough carbon
emissions and the atmosphere to set off a massive climate
change crisis.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
We're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh no, this is all my fault. This is just
like what al Gore said when he tried to warn us.
Speaker 12 (29:38):
Oh no, we should have gotten a prius. Why didn't
we listen to al Gore?
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Al Gore tried to save us, but we were too
stupid to listen.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And now we're dying from climate change.
Speaker 12 (29:49):
Climate change, and drowning, but mostly the drowning.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You were right, out, Gore. You were right, you were right.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
You were right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Al Are you okay? L? I wake up? L now
El honey, wake up al? L Are you okay? L?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
What?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Yes, I was just having a dream, honey. No, it
was a goods dream, a very very good dream. Now
I'm going to go back to sleep and try to
dream it again. Now close your eye. I'll gore, I
mean brethident gore.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
You know, this is as good a time as any
to remind you folks. We've lost the schools, between drag
Queen Story Hour and the universities.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We've lost the media.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You know, when you study wars and you see a
country and you see the institutions of power and influence
each falling, you can see where you are and revolution,
you know, as these things happen, and these different pillars
of public opinion and of strength, industry, universities, We've pretty
(31:22):
much lost every pillar of influence in our society, even
many churches. It's crazy what's coming out of some of
the pulpits around this country. But the one thing you
can control is your own dinnertainment. So teach your children
talk about difficult things. Don't scream at them if they
(31:44):
disagree with you. They may not understand things the way
you do, but teach them
