Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I do want to point out that various articles that appeared.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Prior to my entering office.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
And here's one.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with
severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
Speaker 2 (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. I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (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 diversity
into the FAA's program.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You ever flown a plane? Thank you for the question, Senator. No,
I have never flown a plane.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So you weren't a military pilot or a commercial airline pilot.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
No center. Have you ever worked for an airline? No, Senator.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
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 3 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Center.
Speaker 5 (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 7 (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 2 (03:25):
You're the first controller fifteen years. I've never said that.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Well, I'm just you know, if you ask for a
short approach.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
A short approach is when you turn your base and.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Being the numbers.
Speaker 10 (03:34):
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 could possibly do that. Well, I googled it.
Speaker 11 (03:43):
Actually, I googled short approach, and it's said to turn
your base a beam or before the numbers, and you
will land probably touch.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Down around this Bill.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
BOYD, do we have a show for you?
Speaker 12 (04:08):
I was making a rare public appearance this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
She was at a party, small party and friends.
Speaker 12 (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 there
(04:36):
for like you gotta put someone in there. 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
(04:57):
radio does very well in the era of Obama and Biden.
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
(05:19):
for our business, but they're bad for the country. They're
bad for our show sponsors, they're bad for you. So
I don't like them. The number of successes this nation
is having because of what Donald Trump is doing, I
(05:40):
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 and never actually accomplished anything, you know,
patting themselves on the back for the compromise with people
(06:00):
who seek to destroy us. 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.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Three quarters of the population loving it.
Speaker 12 (06:21):
There are a lot of low key Democrat voters who
are right now seeing what's happening and keeping quiet except
for muttering under their.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Breath, Hey, it's pretty good he's actually doing it.
Speaker 12 (06:40):
Because when nobody is ever actually going to accomplish what
they promise.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
How you vote doesn't matter. But Trump got in there.
See this is all what he learned from from Trump
one point zero.
Speaker 12 (06:54):
Trump two point Oho knows he's got a year we'll
have elections and 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 an overview,
(07:16):
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 was a
transformative president towards socialism, but transformative. That being said, he
(07:40):
had a number of years across which he undertook his
socialist agenda. Donald Trump, it's only been two weeks. Today,
I'm going to go through some of the things. I
literally won't be able.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To go through all of it.
Speaker 12 (07:59):
We have new developed 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
black Hawk crash with the American Airlines flight. We have
the identity of the third and she is well. Anyway,
(08:19):
we'll get to that. To start with coming to Michael
Berry's show. If he doesn't say it them, who will.
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.
(08:41):
The idea that their very life is in danger because
of governmental decisions, the idea that we have unsafe airlines.
You know, when Osama bin Laden hit the Twin Towers
or nine to eleven, he knew he couldn't topple the
US government. He understood that he didn't have the firepower,
(09:01):
he didn't have the manpower, But he also knew that
he could punch us in the gut.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Financially.
Speaker 12 (09:08):
The economic cost to the United States, to the taxpayer,
to the consumer, to industry was staggering.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
By the way. COVID was worse.
Speaker 12 (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? You remember that whole deal. Oh that
(10:06):
was something, wasn't it. I'm out of here y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Anyway, So that crash in DC.
Speaker 12 (10:16):
The names of the people on the plane and their
stories are starting to come out. There were ten guys
that were 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. Well, 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're not lost someone you love close.
(11:00):
The finality of it all is what is the bitter aftertaste?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Two of the three.
Speaker 12 (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 4 (11:36):
Right? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Maybe maybe not. Well, now we find out.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
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 2 (11:55):
Six years later. That's it as a captain.
Speaker 12 (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.
These are because guess what a lot of other lives
were lost out of all of this. Well, guess what
else we find out she spent the last two years
as an aid in the Biden administration, something about her
(12:44):
rise in the.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Army would appear. I don't know.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
I'm not trying to dishonor her, but it would sure appear.
The question should be asked, was her rise and the
money to buy such an expensive house 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 2 (13:08):
But if they're true, we'll get to them.
Speaker 12 (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.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Operation of the FAA.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
It doesn't improve flight efficiency or safety. To have more
diversity the color or sex of an air traffic controller
does not in any way improve the operation of what
should be the entity ensuring the safety of our flights.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
This is a very dangerous business. It's a very dangerous business.
Speaker 12 (14:16):
I mean you ever listened to FAA trade Ever listening
to air traffic controller traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:20):

Speaker 8 (16:13):
Oh wait, I've hit my government man day to day
and designs.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I can't de late taking my kid. It was to
the library for a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Big sure.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
These are the kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You're like a smacking ass. Let's talk about terriffs.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
From what she.
Speaker 12 (16:41):
A terriff is not actually a tax, but you will
hear it often referred to as attacks.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
A terriff.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Has the effect on the American consumer of being a tax,
but it's not technically a tax. But let's not quibble
over that. From moment, let's talk about what it is.
So let's say on Mexican avocados, which they send a
lot of avocados north in the United States and we
(17:14):
eat a lot of avocados.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I love avocados.
Speaker 12 (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 Ringo's textbs and I'll bet
(18:22):
you the number of avocados he alone.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Sells per year blow your mind. But back to it.
Speaker 12 (18:31):
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.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So let's say it's ten dollars a pound.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
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 fifty but more than ten dollars, such that
that tariff would reduce a number of avocados we buy here.
(19:06):
And it may also be the case that restaurants would say, hey,
pull back on the number of avocados that you put
in the guacamole.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And some people would.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
Say, I'm not gonna eat avocado toast because you jump
the price up. 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
(19:35):
doing in this case. However, 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,
(19:56):
and you're.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Gonna do what I tell you to do.
Speaker 12 (19:59):
So they go from saying they're not going to do
it till Donald Trump This morning posted at ten forty
one am Eastern. I just spoke with Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum.
It was a very friendly conversation where she agreed to
immediately supply ten thousand soldiers on the border separating Mexico
(20:21):
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 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
(20:44):
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 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
(21:05):
every day and say tariffs are bad, terifts are bad,
a year from now, if the terifts are.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Still in place. Yes, that was bad. Yes, that was bad.
Speaker 12 (21:15):
John Maynard 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. So what did
the Democrats do? Senator Chuck Schumer holding up a can
of corona and an avocado and saying, oh, this is
the end of the world.
Speaker 11 (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?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Both from Mexico.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So there's Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (22:40):
He sent some aid down.
Speaker 12 (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 Rodney was running for president twenty twelve,
and he just wanted us to know he just loves
hot dogs.
Speaker 10 (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 nationalt hot
(23:16):
Dog Day, uh, congratulations to you, and may there be
many many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
My goodness, we believe you. You really like hot dogs.
You know me, I just love hot dogs. You don't omit.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Love, don't tell love, because you common folks love lips
and buttoles.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I do too.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I work for them.
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Race here.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I love to see it seems right here seems the right.
I love I like to see the lynx.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I love the lins just something very special here, the
great legs, but also all the little lit lakes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Of the departments. I love cars. I don't love me,
I do. I totally love the cars.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
Yeah, I love cars and lakes and trees. I love lamp.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
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 saw it. I love lamp. I love lamp.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
It's the most insidious, insulting thing they can do, is
what do the peons?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What do the peasants like?
Speaker 12 (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.
Whatever's gonna upset y'all.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Don't want to hear it. He'll just go ahead and
say it. Sorry. The Michael Verry show.
Speaker 12 (25:02):
So the Democrats look like complete fools to anybody who's
paying attention.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Trump said, I'm gonna.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
Get Mexico to do their part to stop the illegal
immigration into this country. And the Democrats in the media said.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
No, you're not. You can't make them.
Speaker 12 (25:19):
And he said, watch me, Mexico, I'm putting tariffs on
your stuff. You're gonna lose the largest market in the world. See,
the American consumer market is the most powerful.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It is the.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (25:57):
We could crush China.
Speaker 12 (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 going to come
to an end. 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.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Wait and see how mad they'll be at Trump. You know,
you've just told me. You don't understand.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
How damaging the illegal illegal immigration problem in this country is.
The rapes, the fentanel, the murders, the drug trafficking, the
sex trafficking, the violence, the gangs.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You don't under understand.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
People are willing to sacrifice a whole lot more than
blueberries in their smoothie to get rid of this problem.
Rest assured of that. So the Democrats say, you can't
make Mexico do what you want. Yeah, I can. I'm
imposing tariffs. Tariffs are terrible. Hey, everybody, if he imposes tariffs,
you won't be able to get anything. And whatever you're
(27:22):
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 are willing to volunteer.
That's how this works. So let's pull out the National
(27:45):
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, 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
(28:09):
a stop or I'll shoot myself in the foot kind
of threat policy.
Speaker 13 (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. The
r and the process of being produced goes back and
(28:34):
forth across the border five times, ten times every time
there's going to be some kind of tariff.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What that's going to do is.
Speaker 13 (28:42):
Make 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 12 (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 2 (29:45):
That's not very smart.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (29:57):
Maybe we should keep them here.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
We don't want to upset them by.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Sending them somewhere else where they can't hurt us.
Speaker 12 (30:04):
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.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Ought to get to stay.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
People ask me, how 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.
(30:45):
They 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 2 (30:58):
Oh what a mess.
Speaker 12 (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 co 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.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And Trump's trying to turn it around and fix this relationship.
But Canada, Why.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
Of all the countries in the world, would we right
now be deciding to launch economic war on Canada. Canada,
where the minimum wage be, these wages are higher, where
there's more union protection for workers than there is here.
(32:07):
I just do not get the logic of these policies.
And make no mistake, this is a regressive tax on
American consumers.
Speaker 12 (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 know if I knew it was my last jawbreaker.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Jawbreaker.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Somewhere along the way, I got busy and stopped eating jawbreakers.
And then I wasn't around anybody that ate jawbreakers. Like today,
if you want a cup of coffee, you want a
cold beer, will sip subourbon wan'na smoke a cigar. Nobody
says to me today in twenty twenty five, Hey, I.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Just went to the I walked to the grocery store.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
I turned in my aluminum cans. They bought them for me,
and I bought some jawbreakers.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
You want a jawbreaker?
Speaker 12 (33:11):
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):
Arm crower grow rubber Kroger's not in New Grood. Don't
run croup at all. A ructor stroller record, where Krower's
lector core is a very keete all
It's that time time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I do want to point out that various articles that appeared.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Prior to my entering office.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
And here's one.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with
severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
Speaker 2 (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. I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (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 diversity
into the FAA's program.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You ever flown a plane? Thank you for the question, Senator. No,
I have never flown a plane.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So you weren't a military pilot or a commercial airline pilot.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
No center. Have you ever worked for an airline? No, Senator.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
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 3 (01:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Center.
Speaker 5 (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 7 (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 2 (03:25):
You're the first controller fifteen years. I've never said that.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Well, I'm just you know, if you ask for a
short approach.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
A short approach is when you turn your base and.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Being the numbers.
Speaker 10 (03:34):
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 could possibly do that. Well, I googled it.
Speaker 11 (03:43):
Actually, I googled short approach, and it's said to turn
your base a beam or before the numbers, and you
will land probably touch.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Down around this Bill.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
BOYD, do we have a show for you?
Speaker 12 (04:08):
I was making a rare public appearance this weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
She was at a party, small party and friends.
Speaker 12 (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 there
(04:36):
for like you gotta put someone in there. 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
(04:57):
radio does very well in the era of Obama and Biden.
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
(05:19):
for our business, but they're bad for the country. They're
bad for our show sponsors, they're bad for you. So
I don't like them. The number of successes this nation
is having because of what Donald Trump is doing, I
(05:40):
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 and never actually accomplished anything, you know,
patting themselves on the back for the compromise with people
(06:00):
who seek to destroy us. 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.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Three quarters of the population loving it.
Speaker 12 (06:21):
There are a lot of low key Democrat voters who
are right now seeing what's happening and keeping quiet except
for muttering under their.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Breath, Hey, it's pretty good he's actually doing it.
Speaker 12 (06:40):
Because when nobody is ever actually going to accomplish what
they promise.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
How you vote doesn't matter. But Trump got in there.
See this is all what he learned from from Trump
one point zero.
Speaker 12 (06:54):
Trump two point Oho knows he's got a year we'll
have elections and 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 an overview,
(07:16):
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 was a
transformative president towards socialism, but transformative. That being said, he
(07:40):
had a number of years across which he undertook his
socialist agenda. Donald Trump, it's only been two weeks. Today,
I'm going to go through some of the things. I
literally won't be able.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To go through all of it.
Speaker 12 (07:59):
We have new developed 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
black Hawk crash with the American Airlines flight. We have
the identity of the third and she is well. Anyway,
(08:19):
we'll get to that. To start with coming to Michael
Berry's show. If he doesn't say it them, who will.
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.
(08:41):
The idea that their very life is in danger because
of governmental decisions, the idea that we have unsafe airlines.
You know, when Osama bin Laden hit the Twin Towers
or nine to eleven, he knew he couldn't topple the
US government. He understood that he didn't have the firepower,
(09:01):
he didn't have the manpower, But he also knew that
he could punch us in the gut.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Financially.
Speaker 12 (09:08):
The economic cost to the United States, to the taxpayer,
to the consumer, to industry was staggering.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
By the way. COVID was worse.
Speaker 12 (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? You remember that whole deal. Oh that
(10:06):
was something, wasn't it. I'm out of here y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Anyway, So that crash in DC.
Speaker 12 (10:16):
The names of the people on the plane and their
stories are starting to come out. There were ten guys
that were 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. Well, 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're not lost someone you love close.
(11:00):
The finality of it all is what is the bitter aftertaste?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Two of the three.
Speaker 12 (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 4 (11:36):
Right? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Maybe maybe not. Well, now we find out.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
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 2 (11:55):
Six years later. That's it as a captain.
Speaker 12 (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.
These are because guess what a lot of other lives
were lost out of all of this. Well, guess what
else we find out she spent the last two years
as an aid in the Biden administration, something about her
(12:44):
rise in the.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Army would appear. I don't know.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
I'm not trying to dishonor her, but it would sure appear.
The question should be asked, was her rise and the
money to buy such an expensive house 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 2 (13:08):
But if they're true, we'll get to them.
Speaker 12 (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.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Operation of the FAA.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
It doesn't improve flight efficiency or safety. To have more
diversity the color or sex of an air traffic controller
does not in any way improve the operation of what
should be the entity ensuring the safety of our flights.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
This is a very dangerous business. It's a very dangerous business.
Speaker 12 (14:16):
I mean you ever listened to FAA trade Ever listening
to air traffic controller traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Houston Tower Southwest flight zero one zero one from home

Speaker 8 (16:13):
Oh wait, I've hit my government man day to day
and designs.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I can't de late taking my kid. It was to
the library for a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Big sure.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
These are the kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You're like a smacking ass. Let's talk about terriffs.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
From what she.
Speaker 12 (16:41):
A terriff is not actually a tax, but you will
hear it often referred to as attacks.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
A terriff.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Has the effect on the American consumer of being a tax,
but it's not technically a tax. But let's not quibble
over that. From moment, let's talk about what it is.
So let's say on Mexican avocados, which they send a
lot of avocados north in the United States and we
(17:14):
eat a lot of avocados.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I love avocados.
Speaker 12 (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 Ringo's textbs and I'll bet
(18:22):
you the number of avocados he alone.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Sells per year blow your mind. But back to it.
Speaker 12 (18:31):
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.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So let's say it's ten dollars a pound.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
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 fifty but more than ten dollars, such that
that tariff would reduce a number of avocados we buy here.
(19:06):
And it may also be the case that restaurants would say, hey,
pull back on the number of avocados that you put
in the guacamole.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And some people would.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
Say, I'm not gonna eat avocado toast because you jump
the price up. 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
(19:35):
doing in this case. However, 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,
(19:56):
and you're.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Gonna do what I tell you to do.
Speaker 12 (19:59):
So they go from saying they're not going to do
it till Donald Trump This morning posted at ten forty
one am Eastern. I just spoke with Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum.
It was a very friendly conversation where she agreed to
immediately supply ten thousand soldiers on the border separating Mexico
(20:21):
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 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
(20:44):
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 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
(21:05):
every day and say tariffs are bad, terifts are bad,
a year from now, if the terifts are.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Still in place. Yes, that was bad. Yes, that was bad.
Speaker 12 (21:15):
John Maynard 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. So what did
the Democrats do? Senator Chuck Schumer holding up a can
of corona and an avocado and saying, oh, this is
the end of the world.
Speaker 11 (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?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Both from Mexico.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So there's Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (22:40):
He sent some aid down.
Speaker 12 (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 Rodney was running for president twenty twelve,
and he just wanted us to know he just loves
hot dogs.
Speaker 10 (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 nationalt hot
(23:16):
Dog Day, uh, congratulations to you, and may there be
many many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
My goodness, we believe you. You really like hot dogs.
You know me, I just love hot dogs. You don't omit.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Love, don't tell love, because you common folks love lips
and buttoles.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I do too.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I work for them.
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Race here.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I love to see it seems right here seems the right.
I love I like to see the lynx.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I love the lins just something very special here, the
great legs, but also all the little lit lakes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Of the departments. I love cars. I don't love me,
I do. I totally love the cars.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
Yeah, I love cars and lakes and trees. I love lamp.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
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 saw it. I love lamp. I love lamp.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
It's the most insidious, insulting thing they can do, is
what do the peons?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What do the peasants like?
Speaker 12 (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.
Whatever's gonna upset y'all.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Don't want to hear it. He'll just go ahead and
say it. Sorry. The Michael Verry show.
Speaker 12 (25:02):
So the Democrats look like complete fools to anybody who's
paying attention.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Trump said, I'm gonna.
Speaker 12 (25:09):
Get Mexico to do their part to stop the illegal
immigration into this country. And the Democrats in the media said.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
No, you're not. You can't make them.
Speaker 12 (25:19):
And he said, watch me, Mexico, I'm putting tariffs on
your stuff. You're gonna lose the largest market in the world. See,
the American consumer market is the most powerful.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It is the.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (25:57):
We could crush China.
Speaker 12 (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 going to come
to an end. 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.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Wait and see how mad they'll be at Trump. You know,
you've just told me. You don't understand.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
How damaging the illegal illegal immigration problem in this country is.
The rapes, the fentanel, the murders, the drug trafficking, the
sex trafficking, the violence, the gangs.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You don't under understand.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
People are willing to sacrifice a whole lot more than
blueberries in their smoothie to get rid of this problem.
Rest assured of that. So the Democrats say, you can't
make Mexico do what you want. Yeah, I can. I'm
imposing tariffs. Tariffs are terrible. Hey, everybody, if he imposes tariffs,
you won't be able to get anything. And whatever you're
(27:22):
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 are willing to volunteer.
That's how this works. So let's pull out the National
(27:45):
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, 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
(28:09):
a stop or I'll shoot myself in the foot kind
of threat policy.
Speaker 13 (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. The
r and the process of being produced goes back and
(28:34):
forth across the border five times, ten times every time
there's going to be some kind of tariff.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What that's going to do is.
Speaker 13 (28:42):
Make 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 12 (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 2 (29:45):
That's not very smart.
Speaker 12 (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 2 (29:57):
Maybe we should keep them here.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
We don't want to upset them by.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Sending them somewhere else where they can't hurt us.
Speaker 12 (30:04):
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.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Ought to get to stay.
Speaker 12 (30:21):
People ask me, how 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.
(30:45):
They 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 2 (30:58):
Oh what a mess.
Speaker 12 (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 co 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.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And Trump's trying to turn it around and fix this relationship.
But Canada, Why.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
Of all the countries in the world, would we right
now be deciding to launch economic war on Canada. Canada,
where the minimum wage be, these wages are higher, where
there's more union protection for workers than there is here.
(32:07):
I just do not get the logic of these policies.
And make no mistake, this is a regressive tax on
American consumers.
Speaker 12 (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 know if I knew it was my last jawbreaker.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Jawbreaker.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Somewhere along the way, I got busy and stopped eating jawbreakers.
And then I wasn't around anybody that ate jawbreakers. Like today,
if you want a cup of coffee, you want a
cold beer, will sip subourbon wan'na smoke a cigar. Nobody
says to me today in twenty twenty five, Hey, I.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Just went to the I walked to the grocery store.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
I turned in my aluminum cans. They bought them for me,
and I bought some jawbreakers.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
You want a jawbreaker?
Speaker 12 (33:11):
But somebody obviously went to Lawrence Sumners and said, hey,
you were Obama's genius Economic Council director, would you like
a jawbreaker?
