Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
They got a name for people like you, Hi. That
name is called recitedism repeat on fender.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Not a pretty name, is it high?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
No, sir, that's one bonehead name.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
But that ain't me anymore.
Speaker 6 (00:25):
You're not just telling us what we want to hear, No, sir,
no way, because we just want to hear the truth. Well,
then I guess I am telling you what you want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that?
Speaker 7 (00:37):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Okay, then we cannot keep our promises on medicare. We
simply must make the cuts some waste brought and abuse
in medicare so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched.
We owe it to our seniors, We owe it to
our country.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Is one of the things that keeps popping up again
and again is that the public does not like what
the Democrats are doing. And the Democrats got in this
pickle by serving the wrong interests and not knowing who
and what they are. They don't identify with the very
people whose votes they need and what they try to do.
(01:23):
The consultants try to humanize them. Here's Joe Biden. He's
eating ice cream. He likes ice cream. You like ice cream. See,
he likes ice cream and you like ice cream. I
bet Trump doesn't like ice cream. So vote for Joe Biden.
Ice cream. And when they actually start implementing the things
(01:44):
that they want to do, it's so freakish. Boys and
girls bathrooms is a great example. Global warming, wide open
illegal alien murderers, what they called criminal justice reform, absolute lawlessness.
It is so unpopular. They are so unpopular that what's
amazing is how obtuse they are with regard to it all.
(02:07):
Here was Governor Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor of California,
and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut. Now
Murphy is the guy you will remember who was chairman
of the Biden reelection campaign. And Biden bowed out, and
he didn't even know about it. He went on the
(02:28):
Sunday talk shows. Remember they smothered him on a Sunday.
He went on the Sunday talk shows talking about, you know,
how well Joe Biden was going to do, not even
knowing that at that time there was a palace coup
going on, and he felt so stupid, But here he is.
He's back. And the reason that Democrats are not doing
well is because of Trump's lawlessness. That's what's That's that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, yeah, that's stick to that. That'll work.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
You feel like our party is in better shape or
worse shape?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Are we finding our voice? Is a shut down and
a versa.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
It's helpful in terms of just organizing that voice and
a clarity of what's at stake.
Speaker 10 (03:04):
All right, well, I'm going to turn that question back
around on you too. But I mean the Pauline would
not tell you that our party is in good shape today.
I mean, we are historically unpopular and part of that
is just, you know, people expressing their frustration about Trump's
lawlessness through their indictment of the opposition that they would
hope could have arrested more of it. But yeah, he's
(03:25):
giving us an opportunity, right, he has been exposed as
a fake populist. Right, he is simply operationalizing government to
steal from poor people, cut their health care, to enrich himself.
And so that really commands us to try to figure
out why we've lost so many votes amongst poor people
in this country because they're now questioning whether this guy
(03:46):
is actually righteous, whether this guy actually is looking out
for them. But they're not ready to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I have an idea for why they're not doing well.
Jasmine Crockett. Here is Jasmine crocket when asked a little
over a week ago why she voted no to ending
the shutdown, and here she goes flapping her mouth again.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
I cast my no vote because ain't nobody coming me
and ask me what the people in my district need.
They didn't ask me what would look good for those
in South Dallas. They didn't ask me about that.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So listen.
Speaker 11 (04:21):
I got people that I serve that are counting on
me to do their work and to be their voice
and not work for him. I don't work for him.
He can't hire me, he can't fire me. The people
that elected me in Texas thirty did so. Unless you
want to have a conversation with me about the priorities
for the people in my distraints, Babe, you're not getting
this vote.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So listen.
Speaker 11 (04:40):
He can do whatever he wants to do, but this
will be on the Republicans. I need people to tune
in and learn how to count and learn who controls what.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
If you want things to function.
Speaker 11 (04:50):
Maybe put the Democrats back in control. Now, I know
people got to be with the Democrats not being as
aggressive as we should have been, especially since we got
him over here. Just run a ramshop over everything. But
at a very minimum, you can always count on there
being level headedness and responsibility when it comes to Democrats,
because they care about federal workers, they care about our
(05:11):
constituents and making sure that those services are still available
because when the government shuts down, then that impacts our
constituents directly.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It does.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Here is a flashback to then Vice President Kamala Harris,
not the wrestler, but this is a different Kamala Harris
talking about European explorers ushering in a wave of devastation, violence,
stealing land, and disease. You know this nonsense narrative that
(05:39):
somehow the white man came to the pristine planes of
the Indian These people were slaughtering each other, absolutely slaughtering
each other, and they were not advanced civilization. Stop saying
they were. And this whole idea that the white man
is so bad, and you've got white people so scared
(06:02):
of being white that you've got half of them talked
into it. They're so ashamed that they're white. It's really
sad when you watch it.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
It is an honor, of course, to be with you
this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we
speak truth about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four,
every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of
the European explorers who first landed on the shores of
(06:32):
the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That
has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in
a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land,
and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this
(06:55):
shameful past, and we must shed light on it and
do everything we can to address the impact of the
past on Native communities.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Today, let's hear some more audio by Democrats to get
an idea of why people hate them so damn much.
Here is a state senator in California whose name very
appropriately is Weaner. He state Senator Scott Weiner, and he
says LGBTQ people have been massively and disproportionately targeted and
(07:31):
subjected to being slammed on the sex offender registry. Well,
maybe there's so many of them showing up because their
sexual pervert degenerates and they engage in acts that as
a society we have agreed will be made illegal to
discourage them. You think maybe that's that has something to
(07:53):
do with it, just just maybe that has something to
do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Know that the sex Offender Registry contains a massive array
of crimes including I don't know, having sex in a
car or in a park that gets you in the
sex offender Registry. We also know that LGBTQ people have
been massively and disproportionately targeted and subjected to being slammed
onto the sex offender Registry. That's the whole history of
(08:18):
the sex Offender Registry. So this aspect of the bill
is incredibly overbroad and discriminat.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You've got the Michael Berrys Show.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
This is going to be clip number six oh eight.
It's a CNN clip and it's talking about what we've
been discussing, Democrats potentially losing nineteen seats now it never
turns out to be what is projected. And part of
the reason you do things like this, there are two
reasons you do this. If you're a Democrat, you do
(08:50):
this because you want to scare your donors and get
them to start cutting loose some money. Oh my god,
we're gonna lose a bunch of seats. If you're a Republican,
you do something like this because you now inspire people. Oh,
we could win nineteen seats. Okay, so if we can win,
I'll give you some money. Here, here is some money.
So anyway, here's that story. I've mentioned it several times
(09:12):
over the last couple weeks.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
Actually represents pretty accurately mathematically how the country's divided over
the question of the presidency. But if you look at this,
this is what the party pickup would be for congressional districts.
Republicans five, Missouri one, North Carolina one, Ohio two or three,
Indiana one or two Florida. Still discussion down there, but
that could be another gold mine for them if they
(09:34):
tipped it even further their way.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Kansas won New.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Hampshire one and Nebraska Democrats, Utah, California, Maryland. Look at this,
If you offset California and Texas, Missouri and Utah, North
Carolina and Maryland, everything left over is an advantage to
a Republicans. And don't forget the Supreme Court is considering
what could really be the end of the Voting Rights Act,
(09:59):
which would protect minority group So you don't have a
state that's half black, for example, that elects only one
congressional member and everybody else goes to the Republicans that
would represent that population in some way. So if that
is gutted, Democrats could lose nineteen seats.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
This would be a huge amount.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
But this is also a measure of how much the
White House is concerned about this because Donald Trump knows
if the Democrats get the House again, there could be
new investigations just like last time.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There could be a new impeachment.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
There could be a lot of impediment to these plans
that right now the Republicans and the House and Senate
are letting you run like a freighter.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, I've told you before and I'll say it again.
If you knew the show, I once loved Portland, Oregon.
It was a major affiliate for us, and I was
so excited to have it, and so I went up
to Portland, k Ex eleven ninety and for several years,
(11:00):
my wife and sons joined me and we spent the
summer there so that I could get to know the
market and know my show sponsors, and because I love
it in Houston's hotest haities during the summer, and Portland
is delightful in the summer. And then a couple of
years go by and I go back and Portland's gone
to hell. It's become San Francisco. It's at least a
(11:22):
downtown and it really is tragic because it was a
great city. Yeah, it leaned left, and they they loved
the Portland is weird, but much like Austin, it was
a very livable city, great art scene, great music scene.
They love their overpriced coffee, but they have great they
have great pubs. It is a great culture. And now
(11:46):
it's it's been California. Cadd it's anyway. So here's what
they've done. Now here's a Fox News report. Oregon's budget
allocates one point five billion dollars for illegals and less
than half that for state law enforce horsemen.
Speaker 13 (12:00):
Think about that, and is reportedly spending more in its
budget on health benefits for illegal migrants than it sets
aside for state police. Organ officials expect to allocate one
point five billion dollars in combined state and federal tax
dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal
migrants from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty seven. Now,
(12:21):
during that very same period, they expect to spend seven
hundred and seventeen million dollars on the Oregon State Police.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I came across this woman, I don't know her name.
She's a business owner in Portland, and this is at
a city council meeting, and she's talking about how bad
things have gotten in Portland. And we're hearing the same
thing out of San Francisco, We're hearing the same thing
out of Chicago. This is what white liberalism leads to.
(12:51):
And there's just no way around that. This is what
white liberalism leads to.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
I have to be honest. I have never felt unsafe
in this city. A few months ago, at our bar,
there's a group of people that will descend. We have
to shut down all the time. Forty five people, two
women in the group, sort of breaking glass in our bar,
stabbing each other. Our bartender called us. We pulled up
(13:18):
the security cameras live. She was screaming, splattered on the
security cameras.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
The police came.
Speaker 14 (13:24):
No name was taken, no report, no accountability, and it's
not an isolated incident. We've had people that have been
eighty six. They come back with guns in hands, standing
a foot off of our sidewalk for ours every single weekend,
every single weekends. Our staff is terrified. We've been Derek
break In's vandalism. We've been held up by gunpoint and
(13:45):
it feels like no one is coming. What is going
to happen? How is this acceptable? We need more trained
police officers.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
We need them like a ton.
Speaker 14 (13:56):
We are small business owners. We are the heartbeat of
Portland and we are hanging on by a threat. And
within weeks all I see is the coffee shop leaving.
Everybody's leaving. I'm like, where are you going? We're leaving Portland.
We're out of here. This is seriously life or death
for our employees, for our customers, for my family if
my husband or one of our bartenders ends up killed,
(14:16):
or a customer, who is going to be accountable for this.
For the first time, we are seriously talking about leaving Portland,
selling the building. We own, a legacy we have hoped
to pass to our children, but at this point I
don't even know if we could sell it. I mean,
nobody can sell commercial property.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Right now.
Speaker 14 (14:32):
It isn't ridiculous. This is not politics. This is an emergency.
We are out of time. We needed help yesterday. We
need help or we are going to die.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
We simply don't have enough police and the private sector.
We are spending tons on private security and if it
went away, it's the equivalent to losing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Almost two hundred officers.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
There is not a thriving region in this country with
a dead or dying downtown.
Speaker 15 (14:58):
The losses are mounting and have been ignored for way
too long. Here now at a tipping point, people can
go anywhere to find a chain, restaurant or retail. Locally
owned businesses used to be the main attraction for Portland,
but these days they are a rarity. The climate to
run a business in Portland has become increasingly difficult, especially
(15:20):
during the past five years.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
The amount of illegal and unsafe behavior we have to
deal with on a daily basis at our Portland locations
is unacceptable. I simply don't understand how the city has
become numb to this idea of Portland really isn't that bad.
As a local business owner, with my time, I'm going
to give a few examples of what apparently is really
really not that bad. Most recently, once the Oasis Day
(15:42):
Camp has opened on Northwest Broadway, that already rampant crime
from the nearby TPI shelter has gone through the roof,
despite may Or Wilson's assurance that shelters quote create safer neighborhoods.
Several weeks ago, a homeless man came in. We asked
them for his ID, which is required by law. He
then threw a fit, smashed a glass display case, and
then once our staff got him to exit the store,
he then threw a rock throw window, which we average
(16:04):
over three broken windows per year per location of our
downtown of our Portland locations, always from homeless people, which
we're discussing repair funds a minute ago before this before
public testament, and I want to point out that being
that we're in the canvas industry, we are not eligible
for any of these repair funds and win the replacements
range from seven hundred and fifty dollars to three thousand
dollars per window at the same with Post Broadway location.
(16:24):
Earlier this year, a heady, drug effected man entered demanding
a cigarette. When we asked him to leave, he then
pulled a machete on our staff member. Police reports can
concirn this incident. Do you think this behavior makes our
staff and customers feel safe?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You're listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Jim tells me I did not ever cover the Sheryl Hines,
who's Robert F. Kennedy Junior's wife, appearance on the view
a little while back. And I thought I did. Maybe
I didn't for this show. I can't remember if I
did it morning or maybe I didn't do it. Maybe
I didn't do it, that's on me. But I thought
(17:02):
she really did a good job. I don't think she's
by any measure exactly a conservative.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But you know Robert F.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Kennedy Jr. Who you'll hear her call Bobby, he ran
for president last year. Can I remind you that as
a Democrat, And now now they're making him out to
be some right wing nut because they've smeared him because
he's doing good things to help the Trump administration, really
(17:33):
just doing good things to help Americans and they don't
like that. And I think this has been quite telling
for Robert F. Kennedy Junior to see how the Democrat
establishment is, how quickly they've turned on him. I mean,
the Kennedy's are Democrat royalty.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But here she was.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
On the view and they make the point of, yeah, well,
your husband's not even a doctor, and her point well taken.
Ninety of Health and Human Services secretaries haven't been doctors either,
and you never questioned them once.
Speaker 16 (18:07):
Your husband when he announced basically that he believed he
found some causal links between autism and thailan, all it
created a lot of panic in women who were being
told by their obgu i ns who look at them
that thailan, if necessary to treat pain during pregnancy, is safe.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What would you say?
Speaker 16 (18:24):
And I know you're not a medical professional, but to
women who now feel anxious and nervous because they're doctors
telling them one thing, but the top public health professional
is telling them something very different.
Speaker 17 (18:36):
Well, they said consult your doctor before taking it. That
was the That's what they were saying, and that holds.
So I agree. Listen, I've been pregnant. I understand it's
stressful being pregnant. I found because you're so concerned with everything.
(18:58):
I didn't drink caffeine. Know he's pregnant. So to say, hey,
you know, consult your doctor before you take this. I
agree with that, and I think that's okay for moms here,
sure go ahead, now, all.
Speaker 18 (19:13):
Right, I am this This is not.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Your fight really to be fighting.
Speaker 17 (19:19):
This is your husband's thank you for technology.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But I.
Speaker 18 (19:24):
Just I do want to say, you know, he's not
a doctor, and he's not a professional, and oftentimes when
he's talking, oftentimes when he's speaking, he is speaking not
with the best information that we can get because you know, yeah,
we could do a lot better with health stuff, and
(19:47):
there's a lot of stuff he can do, and some
of the things he's suggested take it out of the
hands of my doctor and me and my ob g
y N and me and I I wonder does it
give you pause? And are you able to say, you know,
that might not actually be so because I've got my
(20:10):
experience and I've done lived with this and I'm still here.
So are you able to have those conversations with her?
Speaker 17 (20:17):
I am able to have those conversations. And just to
be clear, ninety of secretarias of HHS have not been doctors.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
They've been great.
Speaker 17 (20:31):
One of Obama's secretaries of HHS was an economist.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Cheryl Hines is an actress. I don't know why they
call women actors. Now, I don't know how that was
supposed to be a good thing. She's an actress and
his wife, and she's obviously loyal to her husband. And
this really what maybe the reason I forgot to talk
about this is it really didn't get much attention, and
(20:58):
it should happen. And the reason it didn't get attention
is because these ladies were made fools of by this woman,
because she's clearly offended that her husband who's working very
hard to do good things for people who are being
harmed by big Pharma, and they're coming after him because
they hate Trump. It has nothing to do with the
work he's doing. They hate Trump. And I think this
(21:21):
is really a wake up call to the left, as
these are your people. This is what they're up to.
The minute you're not on their team, you're a Nazi
and they like you killed. Well, what does that start
to sound like after a while, what does that start
to sound like? And by the way, I've got some
TOOLSI Gabbard audio. If we get a chance, I'll get
(21:44):
to it today. She was the vice chairman of the
Democrat Party in twenty sixteen. She was a star in
the Democrat Party it was Debbie Wasserman Schultz and as
number one in the Democrat Party, the national party, and
(22:04):
she was number two as late as twenty sixteen. She
was a congressman from Hawaii, Liberal Hawaii. She was a
star in their party. She was a veteran. They don't
have a lot of that. She's attractive, she's got the
whole Hawaiian thing going, she's well spoken. I mean, she
(22:25):
was a star in their party. So why, pray tell?
Did they have to smear her because she dare raised
questions in twenty sixteen about Bernie Sander about Hillary Clinton.
Remember Bernie Sanders was running against Hillary. Well, she favored Bernie,
(22:47):
or at least she ended up favoring Bernie because she
felt the Democrat Party was cheating him, and they were.
They were using money that is supposed to be dedicated
to the general election. They're supposed to be putting on
a primary to let the voters determine. You know what
we've seen since then. Look at twenty twenty four, they
didn't even allow for primaries because Biden couldn't win. And
(23:09):
then when Biden was out, they just handpicked Kamala Harris.
On the Sunday that they smothered him. You remember all that,
don't you? What a way? Let me get back to
the point. I get distracted. Cheryl Hines, wife of RFK Junior,
on the view. I guess it was last week. Yeah,
I just thought this was I thought this was really good.
Speaker 17 (23:29):
When you say that they are pro a vaccine, it
seems as though Bobby and Trump a castine doubt on
the efficacy of the vaccine, which makes Americans very nervous.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So that's the problem that will happen.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, I understand you.
Speaker 17 (23:42):
Up, I understand that. And it's interesting because I don't
know if you saw sixty minutes just did a piece
about the vaccine injury a compensation program. Yeah, so people
that have had vaccine injuries can be compensated if they
can prove it, and they have paid out five point
(24:05):
four billion dollars for vaccine injuries. So my question is
can we do better?
Speaker 18 (24:11):
Do we is that all vaccines are just the coin.
Speaker 17 (24:16):
It's all back as far as I know, as far
as I know. But so the question is yes to vaccines. Yes,
they are important and they are an important part of
our healthcare.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Can we do better?
Speaker 17 (24:30):
Can we make them safer? Can we make them. Can
we listen to parents who say, my child got the
vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the
way they were developing. Can we listen to people when
they say that, instead of saying, because you're crazy, but
(24:54):
you want to listen to scientists.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
This is me, Michael Berry show.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I have some things in my prep that I've been
holding on to that I'm not being able to get to,
and I don't want another week to end without getting
to them. So bear in mind, I don't think maybe
one or two of these stories is recent. Some of
these are a couple of weeks old, but they're important
and they're kind of timeless. So this is the Minnesota
(25:23):
Elections Director Paul and Nell admitting that illegal aliens can
vote in state elections in Minnesota with a Minnesota driver's license.
So they are not They can't vote in the federal election,
but they can vote the state election, and yet they
are not citizens. They are here illegally.
Speaker 19 (25:42):
Listen to this, so the answer to my question is yes,
under that scenario, someone couldn't they get their driver's license again,
because we give them to anybody here they register to vote.
It doesn't match with the Social Security numbers, so they're flagged,
but they come in as long as they have an ID,
which is that driver's license, and they sign that they're
(26:06):
eligible to vote, they can vote and then no longer flagged,
they're on the system. Is that correct, mister leil.
Speaker 20 (26:17):
Madam Chair, if I could add the maybe stepping back
from those that are flagged as a CID on the
roster for anyone that's presenting documentation to register to vote,
that is affirmation of their identity. The driver's license has
not been used as proof of citizenship for the purposes
of registering to vote.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It's affirming that they are who they say they are.
Speaker 20 (26:39):
So in any of these cases where someone were to
cast a ballot if they were ineligible to vote, there
are also reports that are generated post election for voters
that are challenged that counties will run to show status
of voters that have been updated due to the fact
that they've now cast a ballot that can be reviewed
and referred to the county attorney.
Speaker 19 (27:01):
Okay, so the answer is yes to my question.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Here is Governor Tim Watts, You remember, hey, Governor with
congressman or with State Rep. No, it was Congressman Rep.
Tom Emmer, a Republican congressman from Minnesota, talking about the
fact that Tim Waltz called Ice agents Nazis. Do you
(27:29):
know what you do when you brand someone a Nazi?
You know, among young people, there is a quandary that
is offered, and that is kill baby Hitler? Would you
kill baby Hitler? And the premise of this little game
that is played is, here is an innocent little baby
in front of you, and it's Adolf Hitler, and you
(27:52):
have the ability to kill this baby and prevent him
from becoming the furor and causing the World War and
everything that happens, the concentration camps, or the loss of life, everything.
Do you kill this baby? The fact that there is
discussion of murdering a baby because it creates a conundrum, right,
(28:18):
It creates a real dilemma. That's the basis of a
lot of movies. You know, your protagonist is put into
a situation where he has to, you know, sell part
of his soul to do this other thing.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Well, that is that is not that is not.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Created for Saddam Hussein or Mussolini or Stalin or Paul
pot It's only Hitler. Hitler is the stand in for
that which is evil. Right, So when you call someone
a Nazi, you are saying that is a person worthy
(28:54):
of being killed. Listen to this.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
You have failed the people of Minnesota provide free healthcare
to illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You sign the Higher.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Education Omnimous Bill into law in May of twenty twenty three.
That bill allows illegals to have their college tuition paid
for by the state. You sign the Driver's License for
All Act into law in March of twenty twenty three,
and that bill allows illegals to receive driver's licenses.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So you claim you're not a sanctuary state.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
You just provide free health care, free college, and driver's
licenses to illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
One reason you're here.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Testifying before US today is because you refuse to.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
While states like Florida and Virginia empower their law enforcement
to detain and remove criminal illegal aliens, you, sir, have
done just the opposite. Your Attorney General is directing law
enforcement to ignore ICE immigration detainers. Do you agree with
the Attorney General's guidance?
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Well, Congressman, it's good to see you again and thank
you for being here. First, I would say, as my
job as governor of Minnesota is to make Minnesota the
best state.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
And then do you agree with the Attorney General's guidance.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Congressman, what I would say on this is is that
Minnesota follows all laws.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's a very easy question. If you're not.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
If you claim you're not a sanctuary state, you just
I guess you just claim that you support policies. You're
not a sanctuary state, but you support policies that prevent
ice from doing their job.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Congressman, isn't that right? That is incorrect.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Congressman, we follow the same laws while we're in the
Minnesota House.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
The law is not changed.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
If you'll allow me, I've got limited time.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well that's what you tweeted.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
By the way, sir, on May twenty third, twenty eighteen,
you tweeted, quote, I support policies that keep law enforcement
from enforcing federal laws.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Close quote.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
On May seventeenth, just this spring, at the University of
Minnesota Law School's commencement ceremony, you said, quote Donald Trump's
modern day gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets.
When you said the words modern day gestapo, you were
referring to ice agents.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Gestapo, by the way, sir.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Was the official secret police of Hitler's Nazi Germany. So
you're calling ICE agents modern day Nazis. Given the attacks
on ICE agents that took place in Los Angeles over
the weekend, don't you regard your dangerous inflammatory rhetoric is
a problem.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
The questions you, I mean answer first.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
So, sir, it saddens me that you refuse to express
regret from comparing ICE to Nazis. ICE agents are brave
Americans who get up every morning, leave their families, and
put their lives in harms way to protect our country. Sir,
you at the very least an apology to these dedicated
public servants. I will say, Sir, inflammatory rhetorics such as
(31:41):
yours and the other governors on this panel is responsible
for putting a target on the back of every ICE
agent who is risking their life.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To protect our communities.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Minnesota is all too familiar, by the way, with the
chaos that ensues when you refuse to work with law
enforcement to enforce the law in t Looting, acts of violence,
and arson occurred on your watch in Minneapolis after you
refuse to bring in the National Guard.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Governor, your agenda is clear.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Free healthcare, free college, and driver's licenses for illegals while
handcuffing law enforcement when they're trying to protect our citizens
in their communities. If you think that's not a sanctuary state,
you shouldn't be governor. By turning Minnesota into a magnet
for illegals, you have opened up our communities to dangerous criminals,
including known terrorists, gang members, murderers, and child predators. You
(32:33):
have sent a resounding message that if you're a hard working,
law abiding citizen of Minnesota, your safety and wellbeing are
not the priorities of Tim Walls in his administration. But
if you're coming to our state illegally, you're not only
welcome with open arms, you're entitled to free stuff on
the taxpayer's dime. This is absolutely disgraceful. Governor Walls, Your
(32:56):
sanctuary state agenda has been defined by your utter failure.
You have failed to enforce the rule of law, you
have failed to uphold our national sovereignty, and most importantly,
you have failed the people of Minnesota. The time for
radical sanctuary state policy, sir, is over.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The voters made that clear last November.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
When they elected President Trump and Vice President J. D.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Vance. You remember him, don't you?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
Governor, the time for real leaders is in. Real leadership
is now. And with that, sir actually mister Chairman, I
asked unanimous consent to introduce into the record the Governor's
tweet that I reference from May twenty third, twenty eighteen,
which makes it clear his hatred for federal law enforcement.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
They got a name for people like you, Hi. That
name is called recitedism repeat on fender.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Not a pretty name, is it high?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
No, sir, that's one bonehead name.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
But that ain't me anymore.
Speaker 6 (00:25):
You're not just telling us what we want to hear, No, sir,
no way, because we just want to hear the truth. Well,
then I guess I am telling you what you want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that?
Speaker 7 (00:37):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Okay, then we cannot keep our promises on medicare. We
simply must make the cuts some waste brought and abuse
in medicare so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched.
We owe it to our seniors, We owe it to
our country.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Is one of the things that keeps popping up again
and again is that the public does not like what
the Democrats are doing. And the Democrats got in this
pickle by serving the wrong interests and not knowing who
and what they are. They don't identify with the very
people whose votes they need and what they try to do.
(01:23):
The consultants try to humanize them. Here's Joe Biden. He's
eating ice cream. He likes ice cream. You like ice cream. See,
he likes ice cream and you like ice cream. I
bet Trump doesn't like ice cream. So vote for Joe Biden.
Ice cream. And when they actually start implementing the things
(01:44):
that they want to do, it's so freakish. Boys and
girls bathrooms is a great example. Global warming, wide open
illegal alien murderers, what they called criminal justice reform, absolute lawlessness.
It is so unpopular. They are so unpopular that what's
amazing is how obtuse they are with regard to it all.
(02:07):
Here was Governor Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor of California,
and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut. Now
Murphy is the guy you will remember who was chairman
of the Biden reelection campaign. And Biden bowed out, and
he didn't even know about it. He went on the
(02:28):
Sunday talk shows. Remember they smothered him on a Sunday.
He went on the Sunday talk shows talking about, you know,
how well Joe Biden was going to do, not even
knowing that at that time there was a palace coup
going on, and he felt so stupid, But here he is.
He's back. And the reason that Democrats are not doing
well is because of Trump's lawlessness. That's what's That's that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, yeah, that's stick to that. That'll work.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
You feel like our party is in better shape or
worse shape?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Are we finding our voice? Is a shut down and
a versa.
Speaker 9 (03:00):
It's helpful in terms of just organizing that voice and
a clarity of what's at stake.
Speaker 10 (03:04):
All right, well, I'm going to turn that question back
around on you too. But I mean the Pauline would
not tell you that our party is in good shape today.
I mean, we are historically unpopular and part of that
is just, you know, people expressing their frustration about Trump's
lawlessness through their indictment of the opposition that they would
hope could have arrested more of it. But yeah, he's
(03:25):
giving us an opportunity, right, he has been exposed as
a fake populist. Right, he is simply operationalizing government to
steal from poor people, cut their health care, to enrich himself.
And so that really commands us to try to figure
out why we've lost so many votes amongst poor people
in this country because they're now questioning whether this guy
(03:46):
is actually righteous, whether this guy actually is looking out
for them. But they're not ready to vote for Democrats.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I have an idea for why they're not doing well.
Jasmine Crockett. Here is Jasmine crocket when asked a little
over a week ago why she voted no to ending
the shutdown, and here she goes flapping her mouth again.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
I cast my no vote because ain't nobody coming me
and ask me what the people in my district need.
They didn't ask me what would look good for those
in South Dallas. They didn't ask me about that.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So listen.
Speaker 11 (04:21):
I got people that I serve that are counting on
me to do their work and to be their voice
and not work for him. I don't work for him.
He can't hire me, he can't fire me. The people
that elected me in Texas thirty did so. Unless you
want to have a conversation with me about the priorities
for the people in my distraints, Babe, you're not getting
this vote.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So listen.
Speaker 11 (04:40):
He can do whatever he wants to do, but this
will be on the Republicans. I need people to tune
in and learn how to count and learn who controls what.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
If you want things to function.
Speaker 11 (04:50):
Maybe put the Democrats back in control. Now, I know
people got to be with the Democrats not being as
aggressive as we should have been, especially since we got
him over here. Just run a ramshop over everything. But
at a very minimum, you can always count on there
being level headedness and responsibility when it comes to Democrats,
because they care about federal workers, they care about our
(05:11):
constituents and making sure that those services are still available
because when the government shuts down, then that impacts our
constituents directly.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It does.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Here is a flashback to then Vice President Kamala Harris,
not the wrestler, but this is a different Kamala Harris
talking about European explorers ushering in a wave of devastation, violence,
stealing land, and disease. You know this nonsense narrative that
(05:39):
somehow the white man came to the pristine planes of
the Indian These people were slaughtering each other, absolutely slaughtering
each other, and they were not advanced civilization. Stop saying
they were. And this whole idea that the white man
is so bad, and you've got white people so scared
(06:02):
of being white that you've got half of them talked
into it. They're so ashamed that they're white. It's really
sad when you watch it.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
It is an honor, of course, to be with you
this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day, as we
speak truth about our nation's history. Since nineteen thirty four,
every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of
the European explorers who first landed on the shores of
(06:32):
the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That
has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in
a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land,
and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this
(06:55):
shameful past, and we must shed light on it and
do everything we can to address the impact of the
past on Native communities.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Today, let's hear some more audio by Democrats to get
an idea of why people hate them so damn much.
Here is a state senator in California whose name very
appropriately is Weaner. He state Senator Scott Weiner, and he
says LGBTQ people have been massively and disproportionately targeted and
(07:31):
subjected to being slammed on the sex offender registry. Well,
maybe there's so many of them showing up because their
sexual pervert degenerates and they engage in acts that as
a society we have agreed will be made illegal to
discourage them. You think maybe that's that has something to
(07:53):
do with it, just just maybe that has something to
do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Know that the sex Offender Registry contains a massive array
of crimes including I don't know, having sex in a
car or in a park that gets you in the
sex offender Registry. We also know that LGBTQ people have
been massively and disproportionately targeted and subjected to being slammed
onto the sex offender Registry. That's the whole history of
(08:18):
the sex Offender Registry. So this aspect of the bill
is incredibly overbroad and discriminat.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You've got the Michael Berrys Show.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
This is going to be clip number six oh eight.
It's a CNN clip and it's talking about what we've
been discussing, Democrats potentially losing nineteen seats now it never
turns out to be what is projected. And part of
the reason you do things like this, there are two
reasons you do this. If you're a Democrat, you do
(08:50):
this because you want to scare your donors and get
them to start cutting loose some money. Oh my god,
we're gonna lose a bunch of seats. If you're a Republican,
you do something like this because you now inspire people. Oh,
we could win nineteen seats. Okay, so if we can win,
I'll give you some money. Here, here is some money.
So anyway, here's that story. I've mentioned it several times
(09:12):
over the last couple weeks.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
Actually represents pretty accurately mathematically how the country's divided over
the question of the presidency. But if you look at this,
this is what the party pickup would be for congressional districts.
Republicans five, Missouri one, North Carolina one, Ohio two or three,
Indiana one or two Florida. Still discussion down there, but
that could be another gold mine for them if they
(09:34):
tipped it even further their way.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Kansas won New.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Hampshire one and Nebraska Democrats, Utah, California, Maryland. Look at this,
If you offset California and Texas, Missouri and Utah, North
Carolina and Maryland, everything left over is an advantage to
a Republicans. And don't forget the Supreme Court is considering
what could really be the end of the Voting Rights Act,
(09:59):
which would protect minority group So you don't have a
state that's half black, for example, that elects only one
congressional member and everybody else goes to the Republicans that
would represent that population in some way. So if that
is gutted, Democrats could lose nineteen seats.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
This would be a huge amount.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
But this is also a measure of how much the
White House is concerned about this because Donald Trump knows
if the Democrats get the House again, there could be
new investigations just like last time.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There could be a new impeachment.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
There could be a lot of impediment to these plans
that right now the Republicans and the House and Senate
are letting you run like a freighter.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, I've told you before and I'll say it again.
If you knew the show, I once loved Portland, Oregon.
It was a major affiliate for us, and I was
so excited to have it, and so I went up
to Portland, k Ex eleven ninety and for several years,
(11:00):
my wife and sons joined me and we spent the
summer there so that I could get to know the
market and know my show sponsors, and because I love
it in Houston's hotest haities during the summer, and Portland
is delightful in the summer. And then a couple of
years go by and I go back and Portland's gone
to hell. It's become San Francisco. It's at least a
(11:22):
downtown and it really is tragic because it was a
great city. Yeah, it leaned left, and they they loved
the Portland is weird, but much like Austin, it was
a very livable city, great art scene, great music scene.
They love their overpriced coffee, but they have great they
have great pubs. It is a great culture. And now
(11:46):
it's it's been California. Cadd it's anyway. So here's what
they've done. Now here's a Fox News report. Oregon's budget
allocates one point five billion dollars for illegals and less
than half that for state law enforce horsemen.
Speaker 13 (12:00):
Think about that, and is reportedly spending more in its
budget on health benefits for illegal migrants than it sets
aside for state police. Organ officials expect to allocate one
point five billion dollars in combined state and federal tax
dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal
migrants from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty seven. Now,
(12:21):
during that very same period, they expect to spend seven
hundred and seventeen million dollars on the Oregon State Police.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I came across this woman, I don't know her name.
She's a business owner in Portland, and this is at
a city council meeting, and she's talking about how bad
things have gotten in Portland. And we're hearing the same
thing out of San Francisco, We're hearing the same thing
out of Chicago. This is what white liberalism leads to.
(12:51):
And there's just no way around that. This is what
white liberalism leads to.
Speaker 14 (12:57):
I have to be honest. I have never felt unsafe
in this city. A few months ago, at our bar,
there's a group of people that will descend. We have
to shut down all the time. Forty five people, two
women in the group, sort of breaking glass in our bar,
stabbing each other. Our bartender called us. We pulled up
(13:18):
the security cameras live. She was screaming, splattered on the
security cameras.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
The police came.
Speaker 14 (13:24):
No name was taken, no report, no accountability, and it's
not an isolated incident. We've had people that have been
eighty six. They come back with guns in hands, standing
a foot off of our sidewalk for ours every single weekend,
every single weekends. Our staff is terrified. We've been Derek
break In's vandalism. We've been held up by gunpoint and
(13:45):
it feels like no one is coming. What is going
to happen? How is this acceptable? We need more trained
police officers.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
We need them like a ton.
Speaker 14 (13:56):
We are small business owners. We are the heartbeat of
Portland and we are hanging on by a threat. And
within weeks all I see is the coffee shop leaving.
Everybody's leaving. I'm like, where are you going? We're leaving Portland.
We're out of here. This is seriously life or death
for our employees, for our customers, for my family if
my husband or one of our bartenders ends up killed,
(14:16):
or a customer, who is going to be accountable for this.
For the first time, we are seriously talking about leaving Portland,
selling the building. We own, a legacy we have hoped
to pass to our children, but at this point I
don't even know if we could sell it. I mean,
nobody can sell commercial property.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Right now.
Speaker 14 (14:32):
It isn't ridiculous. This is not politics. This is an emergency.
We are out of time. We needed help yesterday. We
need help or we are going to die.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
We simply don't have enough police and the private sector.
We are spending tons on private security and if it
went away, it's the equivalent to losing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Almost two hundred officers.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
There is not a thriving region in this country with
a dead or dying downtown.
Speaker 15 (14:58):
The losses are mounting and have been ignored for way
too long. Here now at a tipping point, people can
go anywhere to find a chain, restaurant or retail. Locally
owned businesses used to be the main attraction for Portland,
but these days they are a rarity. The climate to
run a business in Portland has become increasingly difficult, especially
(15:20):
during the past five years.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
The amount of illegal and unsafe behavior we have to
deal with on a daily basis at our Portland locations
is unacceptable. I simply don't understand how the city has
become numb to this idea of Portland really isn't that bad.
As a local business owner, with my time, I'm going
to give a few examples of what apparently is really
really not that bad. Most recently, once the Oasis Day
(15:42):
Camp has opened on Northwest Broadway, that already rampant crime
from the nearby TPI shelter has gone through the roof,
despite may Or Wilson's assurance that shelters quote create safer neighborhoods.
Several weeks ago, a homeless man came in. We asked
them for his ID, which is required by law. He
then threw a fit, smashed a glass display case, and
then once our staff got him to exit the store,
he then threw a rock throw window, which we average
(16:04):
over three broken windows per year per location of our
downtown of our Portland locations, always from homeless people, which
we're discussing repair funds a minute ago before this before
public testament, and I want to point out that being
that we're in the canvas industry, we are not eligible
for any of these repair funds and win the replacements
range from seven hundred and fifty dollars to three thousand
dollars per window at the same with Post Broadway location.
(16:24):
Earlier this year, a heady, drug effected man entered demanding
a cigarette. When we asked him to leave, he then
pulled a machete on our staff member. Police reports can
concirn this incident. Do you think this behavior makes our
staff and customers feel safe?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You're listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Jim tells me I did not ever cover the Sheryl Hines,
who's Robert F. Kennedy Junior's wife, appearance on the view
a little while back. And I thought I did. Maybe
I didn't for this show. I can't remember if I
did it morning or maybe I didn't do it. Maybe
I didn't do it, that's on me. But I thought
(17:02):
she really did a good job. I don't think she's
by any measure exactly a conservative.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But you know Robert F.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Kennedy Jr. Who you'll hear her call Bobby, he ran
for president last year. Can I remind you that as
a Democrat, And now now they're making him out to
be some right wing nut because they've smeared him because
he's doing good things to help the Trump administration, really
(17:33):
just doing good things to help Americans and they don't
like that. And I think this has been quite telling
for Robert F. Kennedy Junior to see how the Democrat
establishment is, how quickly they've turned on him. I mean,
the Kennedy's are Democrat royalty.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But here she was.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
On the view and they make the point of, yeah, well,
your husband's not even a doctor, and her point well taken.
Ninety of Health and Human Services secretaries haven't been doctors either,
and you never questioned them once.
Speaker 16 (18:07):
Your husband when he announced basically that he believed he
found some causal links between autism and thailan, all it
created a lot of panic in women who were being
told by their obgu i ns who look at them
that thailan, if necessary to treat pain during pregnancy, is safe.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
What would you say?
Speaker 16 (18:24):
And I know you're not a medical professional, but to
women who now feel anxious and nervous because they're doctors
telling them one thing, but the top public health professional
is telling them something very different.
Speaker 17 (18:36):
Well, they said consult your doctor before taking it. That
was the That's what they were saying, and that holds.
So I agree. Listen, I've been pregnant. I understand it's
stressful being pregnant. I found because you're so concerned with everything.
(18:58):
I didn't drink caffeine. Know he's pregnant. So to say, hey,
you know, consult your doctor before you take this. I
agree with that, and I think that's okay for moms here,
sure go ahead, now, all.
Speaker 18 (19:13):
Right, I am this This is not.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Your fight really to be fighting.
Speaker 17 (19:19):
This is your husband's thank you for technology.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But I.
Speaker 18 (19:24):
Just I do want to say, you know, he's not
a doctor, and he's not a professional, and oftentimes when
he's talking, oftentimes when he's speaking, he is speaking not
with the best information that we can get because you know, yeah,
we could do a lot better with health stuff, and
(19:47):
there's a lot of stuff he can do, and some
of the things he's suggested take it out of the
hands of my doctor and me and my ob g
y N and me and I I wonder does it
give you pause? And are you able to say, you know,
that might not actually be so because I've got my
(20:10):
experience and I've done lived with this and I'm still here.
So are you able to have those conversations with her?
Speaker 17 (20:17):
I am able to have those conversations. And just to
be clear, ninety of secretarias of HHS have not been doctors.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
They've been great.
Speaker 17 (20:31):
One of Obama's secretaries of HHS was an economist.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Cheryl Hines is an actress. I don't know why they
call women actors. Now, I don't know how that was
supposed to be a good thing. She's an actress and
his wife, and she's obviously loyal to her husband. And
this really what maybe the reason I forgot to talk
about this is it really didn't get much attention, and
(20:58):
it should happen. And the reason it didn't get attention
is because these ladies were made fools of by this woman,
because she's clearly offended that her husband who's working very
hard to do good things for people who are being
harmed by big Pharma, and they're coming after him because
they hate Trump. It has nothing to do with the
work he's doing. They hate Trump. And I think this
(21:21):
is really a wake up call to the left, as
these are your people. This is what they're up to.
The minute you're not on their team, you're a Nazi
and they like you killed. Well, what does that start
to sound like after a while, what does that start
to sound like? And by the way, I've got some
TOOLSI Gabbard audio. If we get a chance, I'll get
(21:44):
to it today. She was the vice chairman of the
Democrat Party in twenty sixteen. She was a star in
the Democrat Party it was Debbie Wasserman Schultz and as
number one in the Democrat Party, the national party, and
(22:04):
she was number two as late as twenty sixteen. She
was a congressman from Hawaii, Liberal Hawaii. She was a
star in their party. She was a veteran. They don't
have a lot of that. She's attractive, she's got the
whole Hawaiian thing going, she's well spoken. I mean, she
(22:25):
was a star in their party. So why, pray tell?
Did they have to smear her because she dare raised
questions in twenty sixteen about Bernie Sander about Hillary Clinton.
Remember Bernie Sanders was running against Hillary. Well, she favored Bernie,
(22:47):
or at least she ended up favoring Bernie because she
felt the Democrat Party was cheating him, and they were.
They were using money that is supposed to be dedicated
to the general election. They're supposed to be putting on
a primary to let the voters determine. You know what
we've seen since then. Look at twenty twenty four, they
didn't even allow for primaries because Biden couldn't win. And
(23:09):
then when Biden was out, they just handpicked Kamala Harris.
On the Sunday that they smothered him. You remember all that,
don't you? What a way? Let me get back to
the point. I get distracted. Cheryl Hines, wife of RFK Junior,
on the view. I guess it was last week. Yeah,
I just thought this was I thought this was really good.
Speaker 17 (23:29):
When you say that they are pro a vaccine, it
seems as though Bobby and Trump a castine doubt on
the efficacy of the vaccine, which makes Americans very nervous.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
So that's the problem that will happen.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, I understand you.
Speaker 17 (23:42):
Up, I understand that. And it's interesting because I don't
know if you saw sixty minutes just did a piece
about the vaccine injury a compensation program. Yeah, so people
that have had vaccine injuries can be compensated if they
can prove it, and they have paid out five point
(24:05):
four billion dollars for vaccine injuries. So my question is
can we do better?
Speaker 18 (24:11):
Do we is that all vaccines are just the coin.
Speaker 17 (24:16):
It's all back as far as I know, as far
as I know. But so the question is yes to vaccines. Yes,
they are important and they are an important part of
our healthcare.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Can we do better?
Speaker 17 (24:30):
Can we make them safer? Can we make them. Can
we listen to parents who say, my child got the
vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the
way they were developing. Can we listen to people when
they say that, instead of saying, because you're crazy, but
(24:54):
you want to listen to scientists.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
This is me, Michael Berry show.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I have some things in my prep that I've been
holding on to that I'm not being able to get to,
and I don't want another week to end without getting
to them. So bear in mind, I don't think maybe
one or two of these stories is recent. Some of
these are a couple of weeks old, but they're important
and they're kind of timeless. So this is the Minnesota
(25:23):
Elections Director Paul and Nell admitting that illegal aliens can
vote in state elections in Minnesota with a Minnesota driver's license.
So they are not They can't vote in the federal election,
but they can vote the state election, and yet they
are not citizens. They are here illegally.
Speaker 19 (25:42):
Listen to this, so the answer to my question is yes,
under that scenario, someone couldn't they get their driver's license again,
because we give them to anybody here they register to vote.
It doesn't match with the Social Security numbers, so they're flagged,
but they come in as long as they have an ID,
which is that driver's license, and they sign that they're
(26:06):
eligible to vote, they can vote and then no longer flagged,
they're on the system. Is that correct, mister leil.
Speaker 20 (26:17):
Madam Chair, if I could add the maybe stepping back
from those that are flagged as a CID on the
roster for anyone that's presenting documentation to register to vote,
that is affirmation of their identity. The driver's license has
not been used as proof of citizenship for the purposes
of registering to vote.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
It's affirming that they are who they say they are.
Speaker 20 (26:39):
So in any of these cases where someone were to
cast a ballot if they were ineligible to vote, there
are also reports that are generated post election for voters
that are challenged that counties will run to show status
of voters that have been updated due to the fact
that they've now cast a ballot that can be reviewed
and referred to the county attorney.
Speaker 19 (27:01):
Okay, so the answer is yes to my question.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Here is Governor Tim Watts, You remember, hey, Governor with
congressman or with State Rep. No, it was Congressman Rep.
Tom Emmer, a Republican congressman from Minnesota, talking about the
fact that Tim Waltz called Ice agents Nazis. Do you
(27:29):
know what you do when you brand someone a Nazi?
You know, among young people, there is a quandary that
is offered, and that is kill baby Hitler? Would you
kill baby Hitler? And the premise of this little game
that is played is, here is an innocent little baby
in front of you, and it's Adolf Hitler, and you
(27:52):
have the ability to kill this baby and prevent him
from becoming the furor and causing the World War and
everything that happens, the concentration camps, or the loss of life, everything.
Do you kill this baby? The fact that there is
discussion of murdering a baby because it creates a conundrum, right,
(28:18):
It creates a real dilemma. That's the basis of a
lot of movies. You know, your protagonist is put into
a situation where he has to, you know, sell part
of his soul to do this other thing.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Well, that is that is not that is not.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Created for Saddam Hussein or Mussolini or Stalin or Paul
pot It's only Hitler. Hitler is the stand in for
that which is evil. Right, So when you call someone
a Nazi, you are saying that is a person worthy
(28:54):
of being killed. Listen to this.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
You have failed the people of Minnesota provide free healthcare
to illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You sign the Higher.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Education Omnimous Bill into law in May of twenty twenty three.
That bill allows illegals to have their college tuition paid
for by the state. You sign the Driver's License for
All Act into law in March of twenty twenty three,
and that bill allows illegals to receive driver's licenses.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So you claim you're not a sanctuary state.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
You just provide free health care, free college, and driver's
licenses to illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
One reason you're here.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Testifying before US today is because you refuse to.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
While states like Florida and Virginia empower their law enforcement
to detain and remove criminal illegal aliens, you, sir, have
done just the opposite. Your Attorney General is directing law
enforcement to ignore ICE immigration detainers. Do you agree with
the Attorney General's guidance?
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Well, Congressman, it's good to see you again and thank
you for being here. First, I would say, as my
job as governor of Minnesota is to make Minnesota the
best state.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
And then do you agree with the Attorney General's guidance.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Congressman, what I would say on this is is that
Minnesota follows all laws.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's a very easy question. If you're not.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
If you claim you're not a sanctuary state, you just
I guess you just claim that you support policies. You're
not a sanctuary state, but you support policies that prevent
ice from doing their job.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Congressman, isn't that right? That is incorrect.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Congressman, we follow the same laws while we're in the
Minnesota House.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
The law is not changed.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
If you'll allow me, I've got limited time.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well that's what you tweeted.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
By the way, sir, on May twenty third, twenty eighteen,
you tweeted, quote, I support policies that keep law enforcement
from enforcing federal laws.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Close quote.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
On May seventeenth, just this spring, at the University of
Minnesota Law School's commencement ceremony, you said, quote Donald Trump's
modern day gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets.
When you said the words modern day gestapo, you were
referring to ice agents.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Gestapo, by the way, sir.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
Was the official secret police of Hitler's Nazi Germany. So
you're calling ICE agents modern day Nazis. Given the attacks
on ICE agents that took place in Los Angeles over
the weekend, don't you regard your dangerous inflammatory rhetoric is
a problem.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
The questions you, I mean answer first.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
So, sir, it saddens me that you refuse to express
regret from comparing ICE to Nazis. ICE agents are brave
Americans who get up every morning, leave their families, and
put their lives in harms way to protect our country. Sir,
you at the very least an apology to these dedicated
public servants. I will say, Sir, inflammatory rhetorics such as
(31:41):
yours and the other governors on this panel is responsible
for putting a target on the back of every ICE
agent who is risking their life.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
To protect our communities.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Minnesota is all too familiar, by the way, with the
chaos that ensues when you refuse to work with law
enforcement to enforce the law in t Looting, acts of violence,
and arson occurred on your watch in Minneapolis after you
refuse to bring in the National Guard.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Governor, your agenda is clear.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Free healthcare, free college, and driver's licenses for illegals while
handcuffing law enforcement when they're trying to protect our citizens
in their communities. If you think that's not a sanctuary state,
you shouldn't be governor. By turning Minnesota into a magnet
for illegals, you have opened up our communities to dangerous criminals,
including known terrorists, gang members, murderers, and child predators. You
(32:33):
have sent a resounding message that if you're a hard working,
law abiding citizen of Minnesota, your safety and wellbeing are
not the priorities of Tim Walls in his administration. But
if you're coming to our state illegally, you're not only
welcome with open arms, you're entitled to free stuff on
the taxpayer's dime. This is absolutely disgraceful. Governor Walls, Your
(32:56):
sanctuary state agenda has been defined by your utter failure.
You have failed to enforce the rule of law, you
have failed to uphold our national sovereignty, and most importantly,
you have failed the people of Minnesota. The time for
radical sanctuary state policy, sir, is over.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
The voters made that clear last November.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
When they elected President Trump and Vice President J. D.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Vance. You remember him, don't you?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
Governor, the time for real leaders is in. Real leadership
is now. And with that, sir actually mister Chairman, I
asked unanimous consent to introduce into the record the Governor's
tweet that I reference from May twenty third, twenty eighteen,
which makes it clear his hatred for federal law enforcement.
