Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie show is.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I do want to point out that various articles that
appeared prior to my entering office, and here's one. The
FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe
intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That is amazing.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And then it says FAA says people with severe disabilities
the most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want
them in, and they want them they can be air
traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
This was.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
In January fourteenth, so that was a week before I
entered office. They put a big push to put a
diversity into the FAA's program.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You ever flown a plane? Thank you for the question, Senator. No,
I have never flown a plane.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
So you weren't a military pilot or a commercial airline pilot.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No center. Have you ever worked for an airline? No, senator.
Have you ever worked as an air traffic controller? No, Senator,
you ever worked for a company that manufactures airplanes? No, Senator,
you ever worked for a company that fixes airplanes?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Center.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The American people when they think about aviation safety, when
they think about I played in this committee a Southwest
Airlines and FedEx plane almost colliding at Austin's Airport. They
want an FA administrator who knows why those planes crash,
it knows how to fix it, to keep them safe.
And with all respect, mister Washington, it gives no comfort
(01:53):
to the flying public that their pilot might be a
transgendered witch.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
The lack of staffing is directly attributable to the Obama
administration terminating the lists of eligible, well trained air traffic
control statements in thirty six universities across the country in
twenty thirteen because they were too white.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
We are looking for the best and brightest to join
us as air traffic controllers. We need a diverse group
of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives to handle
the ever changing aerospace landscape. I'm calling on students and
alumni from HBCU's Hispanic serving institutions, and tribal collegists to
(02:56):
apply now to become air traffic controllers. We need a first,
next generation air traffic workforce with people from all that grounds.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You're the first controller fifteen years. I've never said that.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Well, I'm just you.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Know, if you ask for a short approach.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
A short approach is when you turn your base.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
And being the numbers. Well, I will definitely look up
the definition of short approach because I've never seen where
it says you turn base of being the numbers, because
I don't see how you.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Could possibly do that.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
Well, I googled it.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Actually, I googled short approach, and it's said to turn
your base a beam or before.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
The numbers, and you will land probably touch down.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Around Visiel.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Boyd, do we have a show for you?
Speaker 11 (04:08):
I was making a rare public appearance this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
She was at a party, small party and friends.
Speaker 11 (04:16):
They made He made chicken parmesan parmisan, not parmesan parmisan,
and she made pasta and another guy in the group
made vegetables and which I could do without, but when
my wife is there, it's like my mom being.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
There for like you gotta put someone in there.
Speaker 11 (04:39):
And then they made a homemade caesar dressing, which was delicious.
The story behind the caesar dressing is one of my
all time favorite stories. But I was asked a question,
are these good times or bad times for what you do?
And I said, you know, believe it or not. Talk
radio does very well in the era of Obama and Biden.
(05:03):
But it's kind of like my brother the comp used
to say. He'd say, you know, crime's good for my
job security, crime's bad for my sense of sanity and
the safety of my family. Biden and Obama are good
for our business, but they're bad for the country. They're
bad for our show sponsors, they're bad for you.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So I don't like them.
Speaker 11 (05:31):
The number of successes this nation is having because of
what Donald Trump is doing, I will admit, is shocking.
It's so embarrassing to the people who've never accomplished anything,
who spent four or eight years in the White House
(05:53):
and never actually accomplished anything, you know, patting themselves on
the back for the compromise with.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
People who seek to destroy us.
Speaker 11 (06:03):
The number of things we've been told couldn't be fixed, Oh,
you'd have to have an omnibus bill. Not only that,
the number of things that, when done, engender three quarters
of the population loving it. There are a lot of
(06:23):
low key Democrat voters who are right now seeing what's
happening and keeping quiet except for muttering under their breath, Hey,
it's pretty good he's actually doing it. Because when nobody
is ever actually going to accomplish what they promise.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
How you vote doesn't matter. But Trump got in there. See,
this is.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
All what he learned from from Trump one point zero
Trump two point zero knows he's got a year we'll
have elections and over member of twenty twenty six, and
he is getting after it, absolutely getting after it. We
have so much talk about today, and I'm going to
get to it, but I just want to say, as
(07:13):
an overview, there has never been an American history a
president who has done more in less time to positively
affect this great country. FDR was elected four times. FDR
(07:34):
was a transformative president towards socialism, but transformative. That being said,
he had a number of years across which he undertook
his socialist agenda. Donald Trump, it's only been two weeks. Today,
(07:54):
I'm going to go through some of the things.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I literally won't be able to go through all of it.
Speaker 11 (07:59):
We have new development with regard to Canada, with regard
to Mexico, China will be in the crosshairs shortly. We'll
be expecting some reactions. We have new developments on the
Blackhawk crash with the American Airlines flight. We have the
identity of the third, and she is well, anyway, we'll
(08:19):
get to that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
To start with coming to Michael Berry's show. If he
doesn't say it, then who will.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
He started the show with Living on a Prayer. There's
always a meaning behind the music. The idea when you
put your kids on a plane to go off to Colline,
to go off to the military, to go off to camp.
The idea that their very life is in danger because
of governmental decisions, the idea that we have unsafe airlines.
(08:50):
You know, when Osama bin Laden hit the Twin Towers
or nine to eleven, he knew he couldn't topple the
US government. He unders that he didn't have the firepower,
he didn't have the manpower, But he also knew that
he could punch us in the gut.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Financially.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
The economic cost to the United States, to the taxpayer,
to the consumer, to industry was staggering.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
By the way. COVID was worse.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
But what he sought to do was make us afraid
to get into an airline, to get into an airplane,
because when that happens, you have a ripple effect. And
for him to be able to hit our economy so
hard gave him an incredible power We had a flight,
(09:44):
a United Airlines flight Houston and New York this weekend.
The entire plane had to be evacuated. Of course, everybody's
got a phone now, so they're filming it. They had
to drop out of that chute. And the last time
we've discussed that shoot, remember the guy, remember the gay
dude that pitched a fit, popped the done in shot
out the shoot?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You remember that whole dell? Oh that was something, wasn't it.
I'm out of here y'all anyway, So that crash in DC.
Speaker 11 (10:16):
The names of the people on the plane and their
stories are starting to come out. There were ten guys
that went on a duck hunt. Three of them didn't
board the plane. They drove back with the gear. The
other seven hopped on the plane and went back. Didn't
make it. Who Every dude says, that could have been
my buddy. It could have been my fishing buddy, my
(10:37):
hunting buddy, my golfing buddy. There's children on there. Every
story is an anecdotal punch in the gut because we
all know someone like that. They hopped on a plane
and they lost their lives. They didn't get to say goodbye.
They'll be gone forever. It's very final, very final. If
you've not loved, if you not lost someone you love close.
(11:00):
The finality of it all is what is the is
the bitter aftertaste.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Two of the three.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
Army service members on that plane, their names were released.
The third was not released at the request of the family.
That's odd. They don't normally do that. But all right,
and then it kept dragging, and then it leaked out.
It's Rebecca Lobach and all of our social media has
(11:32):
been taken down. Why have you taken down our social
media if there's nothing to hide?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right? Well? Maybe maybe not. Well, now we find.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
Out that she was still in ROTC training in twenty eighteen.
She's flying government continuity missions in a black Hawk helicopter
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Six years later. That's it as a captain.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Now, my understanding is that's a pretty rapid rise for
old girl. And then there's a question, how did she
afford a five hundred and twenty thousand dollars house two
years into serving in the military. Those seemed to be
legitimate questions to be asked. And then you get the guys,
(12:22):
the army folks and the women who go, oh, you're dishonoring. No, no, no,
These are questions we ask never be afraid to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
These are because guess what a lot of other lives
were lost out of all of this.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
Well, guess what else we find out she spent the
last two years as an aid in the Biden administration,
something about her rise in the army would appear.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
I'm not trying to dishonor her, but it was sure
a peer. The question should be asked, was her rise
and the money to buy such an expensive house asian
by her political involvement. There are new details emerging that
I'm not able to verify yet, so I'm not going
to traffic in them.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But if they're true, we'll get to them.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
We also know there's a lawsuit against the United States
government because under Obama and then Biden. We know that
white air traffic controller candidates were turned away, including the
lead plaintiff who scored one hundred on the exam to
get in. You heard the head of the FAA making
(13:32):
an appeal to tribal colleges and historically black colleges, because
it's important that we have diversity in the air traffic
controller ranks. Why it's not important to the official to
the efficient operation of the FAA. It doesn't improve flight
efficiency or safety. To have more diversity the color or
(13:56):
sex of an air traffic controller does not in anyway
improve the operation of what should be the entity ensuring
the safety of our flights.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It is a very dangerous business. It's a very dangerous business.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
I mean, you ever listened to FAA trade You ever
listening to air traffic Controller traffic.
Speaker 2 (14:20):

a sting you all right, Houston Tower. This is Lily
to two coming in for the Bahamas Lolita too. Are

government man day to day and designes. I can't delate
taking my kid. It was to the library for a
big show.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Barry.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
These are the kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You're like a smacking ass. Let's talk about terriffs for more.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
A terriff is not actually a tax, but you will
hear it often referred to as attacks.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
A terriff.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Has the effect on the American consumer of being a tax,
but it's not technically a tax.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But let's not quibble over that for a moment. Let's
talk about what it is.
Speaker 11 (17:07):
So let's say on Mexican avocados, which they send a
lot of avocados north in the United States, and we
eat a lot of avocados.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I love avocados.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
In fact, I think that tex mechs the popularity of
tex Mex, which wherever you are, I cannot tell you
how popular tex Mex is in the Greater Houston area.
It's popular in the state, but in the Greater Houston
area it is insane. There's one on every corner. I
(17:42):
have a show sponsor who's also a dear friend. His
name is Russell Lebara, and he has a company called
Gringos tex Mex you see at Gringos tex Mex dot com.
He has a sister company called Jimmy Changas, which is
similar but slightly different, and he's got well over twenty restaurants. Now,
(18:02):
he didn't go to college, but he's one of the
smartest human beings I've ever met. His ability to read
a spreadsheet, his real ability to read people, his real
ability to build systems. And he has absolutely hit a
home run with his businesses Ringos textbs and I'll bet
(18:22):
you the number of avocados he alone sells per year
will blow your mind. But back to it, so a
tariff and I know you probably know this, but I
want to make sure we all understand is where let's
say Trump says, we're slapping a twenty five percent tariff
on avocados coming from Mexico into the United States. So
(18:45):
let's say it's ten dollars a pound. I'm just going
to use round numbers that would make it twelve to
fifty a pound. It may be the case that other
countries can make an avocado for less than twelve to
fifty but more than ten dollars, such that that tariff
would reduce the number of avocados we buy here. And
(19:07):
it may also be the case that restaurants would say, hey,
pull back on the number of avocados that you put
in the guacamole. And some people would say, I'm not
gonna eat avocado.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Toast because you jump the price up.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
That twenty five percent ends up being borne by the
American consumer. I am not a fan of tariffs. I'm
not a fan of the government getting involved and intervening
in pricing, and that's what the government's doing in this case. However,
(19:39):
our trade is not free trade with Mexico. What they're
doing to us requires that we make it stop. So
what Trump is doing is he's saying I'm going to
bust you across the mouth financially, and you're gonna do
what I tell you to do. So they go from
(20:00):
saying they're not going to do it till Donald Trump
This morning posted at ten forty one am Eastern.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I just spoke with.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum. It was a very friendly conversation
where she agreed to immediately supply ten thousand soldiers on
the border separating Mexico in the US. These soldiers will
be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and
illegal migrants into our country. We further agreed to immediately
(20:31):
pause the anticipated terrorists for a one month period, during
which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State
Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessant, and Secretary of
Commerce Howard Luttnik, and high level representatives of Mexico. I
look forward to participating those negotiations with President Shinbaum as
we attempt to achieve a deal between our countries. He
(20:55):
forced them to the table with a tough measure. We're
not gonna have tariff's long term. So for the Wall
Street Journal to wet their pants every day and say
tariffs are bad.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Turffs are bad. A year from now if the terifts
are still in place, Yes, that was bad. Yes that
was bad.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
John Mayard Keynes when he was imposing the or proposing
the very liberal policies of the Great Depression era, people
would say, well, he would say this is a short
term fix, and they say, yeah, but what about in
the long term, And he would say, in the long term,
we're all dead. Trump's policies are simply a very quick
(21:36):
snapback to get us back to reality.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So what did the Democrats do?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Senator Chuck Schumer holding up a can of corona and
an avocado and saying, oh, this is the end of
the world.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
Let's just take Super Bowl Sunday. Okay, it's going to
affect be here. Okay, most of it. Corona here comes
from Mexico. It's going to affect your guac because what
is guacamole made of avocados? Both from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So there's Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
Hey, really sorry that your kid odeed on fentanyl and
that you got shot and killed or your kid did
by a mugger or drunk driver who's Mexican illegal, But hey,
corona and avocados for everybody. This performance art is so insulting,
(22:32):
Like the time he's there over the pit cooking a
burger and had no idea what he was doing and
made a fool of himself.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
He sent some aid down.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
To the Congressional liquor store and they grab a can
of Mexican beer and come back. It reminds me of
that time that Mitt Romney was running for president of
twenty twelve and he just wanted us to know he
just loves hot dogs.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Well, as you all know, today is National hot Dog Day,
and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my
favorite meat. I love hot dogs. I love them in buns.
I love them outside of buns. I love them with
baked beans. I just like hot dogs. It's the best,
you know, mess meat there is, without question. So to
all of you, who like me, are celebrating National hat
(23:16):
hot Dog Day, uh, congratulations to you, and may there
be many many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
My goodness, we believe you. You really like hot dogs.
You know me, I just love hot dogs. You don't omit, love,
don't tell love.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Because you common folks love lips and buttoles.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I work for them.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Race here. I love to see it seems right. Here,
seems right. I love I like to see the lynx.
I love the lads, just something very special here, the
great lads, but also all the little in lakes of
the department mission. I love cars. I don't love me,
I do up. I totally love the cars. Yeah, I
(23:59):
love cars and lakes and trees. I love lamp. I
love lamp. I love carpet, I love desk, brick. Are
you just looking at things in the office and saying
that you love them? I love lamp. Do you really
love the lamp or you just saying it because you
(24:20):
saw it? I love lamp. I love lamp.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
It's the most insidious, insulting thing they can do, is
what do the peons?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What do the peasants like?
Speaker 11 (24:33):
Oh, they really like Mexican beer and avocados. Okay, hey guys,
I'm you don't want them to. Trump's gonna make it
so you won't have beer and avocados or sex or
air conditioning or whatever else you pour people out there
that I don't have any idea what you're up to.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Whatever's gonna upset y'all. Don't want to hear it. He'll
just go ahead and say it sorry the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
So the Democrats look like complete fools to anybody who's
paying attention. Trump said, I'm gonna get Mexico to do
their part to stop the illegal immigration into this country.
And the Democrats in the media said, no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You can't make them.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
And he said, watch me, Mexico, I'm putting tariffs on
your stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You're gonna lose the largest market.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
In the world. See, the American consumer market is the
most powerful.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It is the.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
Big cahuna man, China, Mexico, everybody, Canada. They have to
be able to send their products into our market. If
we shut our consumer market down to them, we could
crush countries.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
We could crush China.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Now, a lot of Americas would squeal in the short
term because we like cheap products and people are very
averse to change. If they've got their usual thing they
like and they're not able to get that, there will
be political blowback. Oh, and the media is going to
(26:20):
do all these reports. Oh, your life's.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Going to come to an end.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
A CNN guest the other night on a panel said, yeah,
you just wait till the white suburban moms can't get
blueberries for their smoothies. Wait and see how mad they'll
be at Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You know you've just told me. You don't understand.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
How damaging the illegal illegal immigration problem in this country is.
The rapes, the fitanel, the murders, the drug trafficking, the
sex trafficking, the violence.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The gangs. You don't under understand.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
People are willing to sacrifice a whole lot more than
blueberries in their smoothie to get rid of this problem.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Rest assured of that.
Speaker 11 (27:10):
So the Democrats say, you can't make Mexico do what
you want.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, I can. I'm imposing tariffs. Tariffs are terrible.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Hey, everybody, if he imposes tariffs, you won't be able
to get anything, and whatever you're able to get will
cost a lot of money, and you go bankrupt. We
don't believe you, because Mexico is gonna blink before we do. See,
during wars, people are willing to ration. During wars, people
(27:38):
are willing to volunteer. That's how this works. So let's
pull out the National Economic Council Director of the Obama administration,
Lawrence Summers. And mister Summers, oh, he's such an intellectual.
He's what you would call an expert, trust the experts,
(27:59):
and he called tariffs a stop or I'll shoot myself
in the foot policy. Oh what a great comment for
seeing inn This is a stop or I'll shoot myself
in the foot kind of threat policy.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
It defies economic logic. It means higher prices for consumers.
It means much more expensive inputs for American producers. Think
about the way car manufacturing happens in North America.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
The r and the.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Process of being produced goes back and forth across the
border five times, ten times every time there's going to
be some kind of tariff.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
What that's going to do is make.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The North American companies and the North American jobs less
competitive relative to what's happening in Europe or China or Japan.
There's no real economic logic to this.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
What he means to say is he loves open illegal immigration,
and Trump is using tariffs to end illegal immigration as
we know it. And then he says, I'm not happy
that he's doing this to our allies. Why would we
go to economic war with our allies? Hooks, do you
(29:19):
think Mexico is our ally? Do you know the cartels
have been firing across the border on American border patrol
shooting to kill. Did you see what happened this weekend?
In multiple places, but none so bad as Los Angeles.
(29:41):
It looked like an invading army carrying the flag of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
That's not very smart.
Speaker 11 (29:47):
I don't think any American was thinking, you know, maybe
we shouldn't send them back. Look at them all with
their Mexican flags, throwing rocks and projectiles at the cops.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Maybe we should keep them here.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
We don't want to upset them by sending them somewhere
else where they can't hurt us. You've got absolute thugs
acting like absolute thugs, attacking cops carrying the Mexican flag
a foreign country in an attempt to persuade Americans that
they ought to get to stay. People ask me, how
(30:22):
come them to carry the Mexican flag? If they love
Mexico so much, they should go back. This is important
for you to understand. If you hear me say one
thing today, let it be this. Those people want this
to be Mexico. They want to live here. They want
to be the dominant people. They want to control things.
They want to subjugate you. They don't respect America. They
(30:45):
don't respect you. They're carrying the Mexican flag because what
they want is this to be Mexico at the Democrat
convention this weekend where they're choosing their leadership.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh what a mess.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
They opened by saying that they were standing on indigenous
lands that was stolen from the indigenous people. That is
the mindset of people, folks. I'm gonna tell you something.
Somebody comes up to your front door and says, that's
not your house, it's mine. I want to take it back.
(31:22):
You need to understand that's a declaration of war. You
can't to exist with that person. So here's what Larry
Sumner said, Because you know, Mexico is our good friend. No,
Mexico's not our good friend. Mexico is a pitbull that
can bite us or serve us. And Trump's trying to
turn it around and fix this relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
But Canada, Why.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Of all the countries in the world, would we right
now be deciding to launch economic war on Canada.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Canada, where the minimum.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Wage be, the wages are higher, where there's more union
protection for workers than there is here. I just do
not get the logic of these policies. And make no mistake,
this is a regressive tax on American consumers.
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Is it just me or is he sounded like you
got something in his jaw? Did you ever eat jawbreakers
as a kid man, I hadn't had a jawbreaker. I'm
fifty four. I had a jawbreaker in probably forty five years.
You know, one day I ate my last jawbreaker, and
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Know if I knew it was my last jawbaker jawbreaker.
Speaker 11 (32:42):
Somewhere along the way, I got busy and stopped eating jawbreakers.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And then I wasn't around anybody that ate jawbreakers.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Like today, if you want a cup of coffee, you
want a cold beer, W'll sip somebourbon.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
We'll smoke a cigar.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Nobody says to me today in twenty twenty five, Hey, I.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Just went to the I walked to the grocery store.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
I turned in my aluminum cans. They bought them for me,
and I bought some jawbreakers. You want a jawbreaker. But
somebody obviously went to Lawrence Sumners and said, hey, you
were Obama's genius Economic Council director, would you like a jawbreaker?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Our crower, graw rubber where Kroger's not a new Grood,
a door rock crump at.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
All, a Ruckers stroller record where Kromer's not elector Core
is a very Kete all right,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Verie show is.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I do want to point out that various articles that
appeared prior to my entering office, and here's one. The
FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe
intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That is amazing.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And then it says FAA says people with severe disabilities
the most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want
them in, and they want them they can be air
traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
This was.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
In January fourteenth, so that was a week before I
entered office. They put a big push to put a
diversity into the FAA's program.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You ever flown a plane? Thank you for the question, Senator. No,
I have never flown a plane.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
So you weren't a military pilot or a commercial airline pilot.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No center. Have you ever worked for an airline? No, senator.
Have you ever worked as an air traffic controller? No, Senator,
you ever worked for a company that manufactures airplanes? No, Senator,
you ever worked for a company that fixes airplanes?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Center.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The American people when they think about aviation safety, when
they think about I played in this committee a Southwest
Airlines and FedEx plane almost colliding at Austin's Airport. They
want an FA administrator who knows why those planes crash,
it knows how to fix it, to keep them safe.
And with all respect, mister Washington, it gives no comfort
(01:53):
to the flying public that their pilot might be a
transgendered witch.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
The lack of staffing is directly attributable to the Obama
administration terminating the lists of eligible, well trained air traffic
control statements in thirty six universities across the country in
twenty thirteen because they were too white.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
We are looking for the best and brightest to join
us as air traffic controllers. We need a diverse group
of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives to handle
the ever changing aerospace landscape. I'm calling on students and
alumni from HBCU's Hispanic serving institutions, and tribal collegists to
(02:56):
apply now to become air traffic controllers. We need a first,
next generation air traffic workforce with people from all that grounds.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You're the first controller fifteen years. I've never said that.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Well, I'm just you.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Know, if you ask for a short approach.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
A short approach is when you turn your base.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
And being the numbers. Well, I will definitely look up
the definition of short approach because I've never seen where
it says you turn base of being the numbers, because
I don't see how you.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Could possibly do that.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
Well, I googled it.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Actually, I googled short approach, and it's said to turn
your base a beam or before.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
The numbers, and you will land probably touch down.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Around Visiel.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Boyd, do we have a show for you?
Speaker 11 (04:08):
I was making a rare public appearance this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
She was at a party, small party and friends.
Speaker 11 (04:16):
They made He made chicken parmesan parmisan, not parmesan parmisan,
and she made pasta and another guy in the group
made vegetables and which I could do without, but when
my wife is there, it's like my mom being.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
There for like you gotta put someone in there.
Speaker 11 (04:39):
And then they made a homemade caesar dressing, which was delicious.
The story behind the caesar dressing is one of my
all time favorite stories. But I was asked a question,
are these good times or bad times for what you do?
And I said, you know, believe it or not. Talk
radio does very well in the era of Obama and Biden.
(05:03):
But it's kind of like my brother the comp used
to say. He'd say, you know, crime's good for my
job security, crime's bad for my sense of sanity and
the safety of my family. Biden and Obama are good
for our business, but they're bad for the country. They're
bad for our show sponsors, they're bad for you.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So I don't like them.
Speaker 11 (05:31):
The number of successes this nation is having because of
what Donald Trump is doing, I will admit, is shocking.
It's so embarrassing to the people who've never accomplished anything,
who spent four or eight years in the White House
(05:53):
and never actually accomplished anything, you know, patting themselves on
the back for the compromise with.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
People who seek to destroy us.
Speaker 11 (06:03):
The number of things we've been told couldn't be fixed, Oh,
you'd have to have an omnibus bill. Not only that,
the number of things that, when done, engender three quarters
of the population loving it. There are a lot of
(06:23):
low key Democrat voters who are right now seeing what's
happening and keeping quiet except for muttering under their breath, Hey,
it's pretty good he's actually doing it. Because when nobody
is ever actually going to accomplish what they promise.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
How you vote doesn't matter. But Trump got in there. See,
this is.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
All what he learned from from Trump one point zero
Trump two point zero knows he's got a year we'll
have elections and over member of twenty twenty six, and
he is getting after it, absolutely getting after it. We
have so much talk about today, and I'm going to
get to it, but I just want to say, as
(07:13):
an overview, there has never been an American history a
president who has done more in less time to positively
affect this great country. FDR was elected four times. FDR
(07:34):
was a transformative president towards socialism, but transformative. That being said,
he had a number of years across which he undertook
his socialist agenda. Donald Trump, it's only been two weeks. Today,
(07:54):
I'm going to go through some of the things.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I literally won't be able to go through all of it.
Speaker 11 (07:59):
We have new development with regard to Canada, with regard
to Mexico, China will be in the crosshairs shortly. We'll
be expecting some reactions. We have new developments on the
Blackhawk crash with the American Airlines flight. We have the
identity of the third, and she is well, anyway, we'll
(08:19):
get to that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
To start with coming to Michael Berry's show. If he
doesn't say it, then who will.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
He started the show with Living on a Prayer. There's
always a meaning behind the music. The idea when you
put your kids on a plane to go off to Colline,
to go off to the military, to go off to camp.
The idea that their very life is in danger because
of governmental decisions, the idea that we have unsafe airlines.
(08:50):
You know, when Osama bin Laden hit the Twin Towers
or nine to eleven, he knew he couldn't topple the
US government. He unders that he didn't have the firepower,
he didn't have the manpower, But he also knew that
he could punch us in the gut.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Financially.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
The economic cost to the United States, to the taxpayer,
to the consumer, to industry was staggering.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
By the way. COVID was worse.
Speaker 11 (09:20):
But what he sought to do was make us afraid
to get into an airline, to get into an airplane,
because when that happens, you have a ripple effect. And
for him to be able to hit our economy so
hard gave him an incredible power We had a flight,
(09:44):
a United Airlines flight Houston and New York this weekend.
The entire plane had to be evacuated. Of course, everybody's
got a phone now, so they're filming it. They had
to drop out of that chute. And the last time
we've discussed that shoot, remember the guy, remember the gay
dude that pitched a fit, popped the done in shot
out the shoot?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You remember that whole dell? Oh that was something, wasn't it.
I'm out of here y'all anyway, So that crash in DC.
Speaker 11 (10:16):
The names of the people on the plane and their
stories are starting to come out. There were ten guys
that went on a duck hunt. Three of them didn't
board the plane. They drove back with the gear. The
other seven hopped on the plane and went back. Didn't
make it. Who Every dude says, that could have been
my buddy. It could have been my fishing buddy, my
(10:37):
hunting buddy, my golfing buddy. There's children on there. Every
story is an anecdotal punch in the gut because we
all know someone like that. They hopped on a plane
and they lost their lives. They didn't get to say goodbye.
They'll be gone forever. It's very final, very final. If
you've not loved, if you not lost someone you love close.
(11:00):
The finality of it all is what is the is
the bitter aftertaste.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Two of the three.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
Army service members on that plane, their names were released.
The third was not released at the request of the family.
That's odd. They don't normally do that. But all right,
and then it kept dragging, and then it leaked out.
It's Rebecca Lobach and all of our social media has
(11:32):
been taken down. Why have you taken down our social
media if there's nothing to hide?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right? Well? Maybe maybe not. Well, now we find.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
Out that she was still in ROTC training in twenty eighteen.
She's flying government continuity missions in a black Hawk helicopter
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Six years later. That's it as a captain.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Now, my understanding is that's a pretty rapid rise for
old girl. And then there's a question, how did she
afford a five hundred and twenty thousand dollars house two
years into serving in the military. Those seemed to be
legitimate questions to be asked. And then you get the guys,
(12:22):
the army folks and the women who go, oh, you're dishonoring. No, no, no,
These are questions we ask never be afraid to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
These are because guess what a lot of other lives
were lost out of all of this.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
Well, guess what else we find out she spent the
last two years as an aid in the Biden administration,
something about her rise in the army would appear.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
I'm not trying to dishonor her, but it was sure
a peer. The question should be asked, was her rise
and the money to buy such an expensive house asian
by her political involvement. There are new details emerging that
I'm not able to verify yet, so I'm not going
to traffic in them.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But if they're true, we'll get to them.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
We also know there's a lawsuit against the United States
government because under Obama and then Biden. We know that
white air traffic controller candidates were turned away, including the
lead plaintiff who scored one hundred on the exam to
get in. You heard the head of the FAA making
(13:32):
an appeal to tribal colleges and historically black colleges, because
it's important that we have diversity in the air traffic
controller ranks. Why it's not important to the official to
the efficient operation of the FAA. It doesn't improve flight
efficiency or safety. To have more diversity the color or
(13:56):
sex of an air traffic controller does not in anyway
improve the operation of what should be the entity ensuring
the safety of our flights.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It is a very dangerous business. It's a very dangerous business.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
I mean, you ever listened to FAA trade You ever
listening to air traffic Controller traffic.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Houston Tower Southwest flight zero one zero one from home

government man day to day and designes. I can't delate
taking my kid. It was to the library for a
big show.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Barry.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
These are the kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You're like a smacking ass. Let's talk about terriffs for more.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
A terriff is not actually a tax, but you will
hear it often referred to as attacks.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
A terriff.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Has the effect on the American consumer of being a tax,
but it's not technically a tax.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But let's not quibble over that for a moment. Let's
talk about what it is.
Speaker 11 (17:07):
So let's say on Mexican avocados, which they send a
lot of avocados north in the United States, and we
eat a lot of avocados.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I love avocados.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
In fact, I think that tex mechs the popularity of
tex Mex, which wherever you are, I cannot tell you
how popular tex Mex is in the Greater Houston area.
It's popular in the state, but in the Greater Houston
area it is insane. There's one on every corner. I
(17:42):
have a show sponsor who's also a dear friend. His
name is Russell Lebara, and he has a company called
Gringos tex Mex you see at Gringos tex Mex dot com.
He has a sister company called Jimmy Changas, which is
similar but slightly different, and he's got well over twenty restaurants. Now,
(18:02):
he didn't go to college, but he's one of the
smartest human beings I've ever met. His ability to read
a spreadsheet, his real ability to read people, his real
ability to build systems. And he has absolutely hit a
home run with his businesses Ringos textbs and I'll bet
(18:22):
you the number of avocados he alone sells per year
will blow your mind. But back to it, so a
tariff and I know you probably know this, but I
want to make sure we all understand is where let's
say Trump says, we're slapping a twenty five percent tariff
on avocados coming from Mexico into the United States. So
(18:45):
let's say it's ten dollars a pound. I'm just going
to use round numbers that would make it twelve to
fifty a pound. It may be the case that other
countries can make an avocado for less than twelve to
fifty but more than ten dollars, such that that tariff
would reduce the number of avocados we buy here. And
(19:07):
it may also be the case that restaurants would say, hey,
pull back on the number of avocados that you put
in the guacamole. And some people would say, I'm not
gonna eat avocado.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Toast because you jump the price up.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
That twenty five percent ends up being borne by the
American consumer. I am not a fan of tariffs. I'm
not a fan of the government getting involved and intervening
in pricing, and that's what the government's doing in this case. However,
(19:39):
our trade is not free trade with Mexico. What they're
doing to us requires that we make it stop. So
what Trump is doing is he's saying I'm going to
bust you across the mouth financially, and you're gonna do
what I tell you to do. So they go from
(20:00):
saying they're not going to do it till Donald Trump
This morning posted at ten forty one am Eastern.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I just spoke with.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum. It was a very friendly conversation
where she agreed to immediately supply ten thousand soldiers on
the border separating Mexico in the US. These soldiers will
be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and
illegal migrants into our country. We further agreed to immediately
(20:31):
pause the anticipated terrorists for a one month period, during
which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State
Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessant, and Secretary of
Commerce Howard Luttnik, and high level representatives of Mexico. I
look forward to participating those negotiations with President Shinbaum as
we attempt to achieve a deal between our countries. He
(20:55):
forced them to the table with a tough measure. We're
not gonna have tariff's long term. So for the Wall
Street Journal to wet their pants every day and say
tariffs are bad.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Turffs are bad. A year from now if the terifts
are still in place, Yes, that was bad. Yes that
was bad.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
John Mayard Keynes when he was imposing the or proposing
the very liberal policies of the Great Depression era, people
would say, well, he would say this is a short
term fix, and they say, yeah, but what about in
the long term, And he would say, in the long term,
we're all dead. Trump's policies are simply a very quick
(21:36):
snapback to get us back to reality.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So what did the Democrats do?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
Senator Chuck Schumer holding up a can of corona and
an avocado and saying, oh, this is the end of
the world.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
Let's just take Super Bowl Sunday. Okay, it's going to
affect be here. Okay, most of it. Corona here comes
from Mexico. It's going to affect your guac because what
is guacamole made of avocados? Both from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So there's Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
Hey, really sorry that your kid odeed on fentanyl and
that you got shot and killed or your kid did
by a mugger or drunk driver who's Mexican illegal, But hey,
corona and avocados for everybody. This performance art is so insulting,
(22:32):
Like the time he's there over the pit cooking a
burger and had no idea what he was doing and
made a fool of himself.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
He sent some aid down.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
To the Congressional liquor store and they grab a can
of Mexican beer and come back. It reminds me of
that time that Mitt Romney was running for president of
twenty twelve and he just wanted us to know he
just loves hot dogs.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Well, as you all know, today is National hot Dog Day,
and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my
favorite meat. I love hot dogs. I love them in buns.
I love them outside of buns. I love them with
baked beans. I just like hot dogs. It's the best,
you know, mess meat there is, without question. So to
all of you, who like me, are celebrating National hat
(23:16):
hot Dog Day, uh, congratulations to you, and may there
be many many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
My goodness, we believe you. You really like hot dogs.
You know me, I just love hot dogs. You don't omit, love,
don't tell love.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Because you common folks love lips and buttoles.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I work for them.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Race here. I love to see it seems right. Here,
seems right. I love I like to see the lynx.
I love the lads, just something very special here, the
great lads, but also all the little in lakes of
the department mission. I love cars. I don't love me,
I do up. I totally love the cars. Yeah, I
(23:59):
love cars and lakes and trees. I love lamp. I
love lamp. I love carpet, I love desk, brick. Are
you just looking at things in the office and saying
that you love them? I love lamp. Do you really
love the lamp or you just saying it because you
(24:20):
saw it? I love lamp. I love lamp.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
It's the most insidious, insulting thing they can do, is
what do the peons?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What do the peasants like?
Speaker 11 (24:33):
Oh, they really like Mexican beer and avocados. Okay, hey guys,
I'm you don't want them to. Trump's gonna make it
so you won't have beer and avocados or sex or
air conditioning or whatever else you pour people out there
that I don't have any idea what you're up to.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Whatever's gonna upset y'all. Don't want to hear it. He'll
just go ahead and say it sorry the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
So the Democrats look like complete fools to anybody who's
paying attention. Trump said, I'm gonna get Mexico to do
their part to stop the illegal immigration into this country.
And the Democrats in the media said, no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You can't make them.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
And he said, watch me, Mexico, I'm putting tariffs on
your stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
You're gonna lose the largest market.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
In the world. See, the American consumer market is the
most powerful.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It is the.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
Big cahuna man, China, Mexico, everybody, Canada. They have to
be able to send their products into our market. If
we shut our consumer market down to them, we could
crush countries.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
We could crush China.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Now, a lot of Americas would squeal in the short
term because we like cheap products and people are very
averse to change. If they've got their usual thing they
like and they're not able to get that, there will
be political blowback. Oh, and the media is going to
(26:20):
do all these reports. Oh, your life's.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Going to come to an end.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
A CNN guest the other night on a panel said, yeah,
you just wait till the white suburban moms can't get
blueberries for their smoothies. Wait and see how mad they'll
be at Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
You know you've just told me. You don't understand.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
How damaging the illegal illegal immigration problem in this country is.
The rapes, the fitanel, the murders, the drug trafficking, the
sex trafficking, the violence.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The gangs. You don't under understand.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
People are willing to sacrifice a whole lot more than
blueberries in their smoothie to get rid of this problem.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Rest assured of that.
Speaker 11 (27:10):
So the Democrats say, you can't make Mexico do what
you want.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, I can. I'm imposing tariffs. Tariffs are terrible.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Hey, everybody, if he imposes tariffs, you won't be able
to get anything, and whatever you're able to get will
cost a lot of money, and you go bankrupt. We
don't believe you, because Mexico is gonna blink before we do. See,
during wars, people are willing to ration. During wars, people
(27:38):
are willing to volunteer. That's how this works. So let's
pull out the National Economic Council Director of the Obama administration,
Lawrence Summers. And mister Summers, oh, he's such an intellectual.
He's what you would call an expert, trust the experts,
(27:59):
and he called tariffs a stop or I'll shoot myself
in the foot policy. Oh what a great comment for
seeing inn This is a stop or I'll shoot myself
in the foot kind of threat policy.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
It defies economic logic. It means higher prices for consumers.
It means much more expensive inputs for American producers. Think
about the way car manufacturing happens in North America.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
The r and the.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Process of being produced goes back and forth across the
border five times, ten times every time there's going to
be some kind of tariff.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
What that's going to do is make.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The North American companies and the North American jobs less
competitive relative to what's happening in Europe or China or Japan.
There's no real economic logic to this.
Speaker 11 (28:57):
What he means to say is he loves open illegal immigration,
and Trump is using tariffs to end illegal immigration as
we know it. And then he says, I'm not happy
that he's doing this to our allies. Why would we
go to economic war with our allies? Hooks, do you
(29:19):
think Mexico is our ally? Do you know the cartels
have been firing across the border on American border patrol
shooting to kill. Did you see what happened this weekend?
In multiple places, but none so bad as Los Angeles.
(29:41):
It looked like an invading army carrying the flag of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
That's not very smart.
Speaker 11 (29:47):
I don't think any American was thinking, you know, maybe
we shouldn't send them back. Look at them all with
their Mexican flags, throwing rocks and projectiles at the cops.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Maybe we should keep them here.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
We don't want to upset them by sending them somewhere
else where they can't hurt us. You've got absolute thugs
acting like absolute thugs, attacking cops carrying the Mexican flag
a foreign country in an attempt to persuade Americans that
they ought to get to stay. People ask me, how
(30:22):
come them to carry the Mexican flag? If they love
Mexico so much, they should go back. This is important
for you to understand. If you hear me say one
thing today, let it be this. Those people want this
to be Mexico. They want to live here. They want
to be the dominant people. They want to control things.
They want to subjugate you. They don't respect America. They
(30:45):
don't respect you. They're carrying the Mexican flag because what
they want is this to be Mexico at the Democrat
convention this weekend where they're choosing their leadership.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh what a mess.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
They opened by saying that they were standing on indigenous
lands that was stolen from the indigenous people. That is
the mindset of people, folks. I'm gonna tell you something.
Somebody comes up to your front door and says, that's
not your house, it's mine. I want to take it back.
(31:22):
You need to understand that's a declaration of war. You
can't to exist with that person. So here's what Larry
Sumner said, Because you know, Mexico is our good friend. No,
Mexico's not our good friend. Mexico is a pitbull that
can bite us or serve us. And Trump's trying to
turn it around and fix this relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
But Canada, Why.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Of all the countries in the world, would we right
now be deciding to launch economic war on Canada.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Canada, where the minimum.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Wage be, the wages are higher, where there's more union
protection for workers than there is here. I just do
not get the logic of these policies. And make no mistake,
this is a regressive tax on American consumers.
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Is it just me or is he sounded like you
got something in his jaw? Did you ever eat jawbreakers
as a kid man, I hadn't had a jawbreaker. I'm
fifty four. I had a jawbreaker in probably forty five years.
You know, one day I ate my last jawbreaker, and
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Know if I knew it was my last jawbaker jawbreaker.
Speaker 11 (32:42):
Somewhere along the way, I got busy and stopped eating jawbreakers.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And then I wasn't around anybody that ate jawbreakers.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Like today, if you want a cup of coffee, you
want a cold beer, W'll sip somebourbon.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
We'll smoke a cigar.
Speaker 11 (32:57):
Nobody says to me today in twenty twenty five, Hey, I.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Just went to the I walked to the grocery store.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
I turned in my aluminum cans. They bought them for me,
and I bought some jawbreakers. You want a jawbreaker. But
somebody obviously went to Lawrence Sumners and said, hey, you
were Obama's genius Economic Council director, would you like a jawbreaker?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Our crower, graw rubber where Kroger's not a new Grood,
a door rock crump at.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
All, a Ruckers stroller record where Kromer's not elector Core
is a very Kete all right,
