Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Verry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.
I can feel a good one coming on. It's the
(00:24):
Michael Berry Show. Oh yes, it is. Reading an article
situation Couldn't be about.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Massachusetts has proposed a bill I don't know if it
has passed yet or not, but it's expected to pass
which would track every mile you drive through state data
and automaker data. They can already track everywhere you go
(00:53):
and when you go. If you've got Life three sixty
for your kids, which might seem a little like, you know,
making your children into inmates with the Panopticon. When your
kids start driving, you start thinking about things like how
fast are they driving, where else are they going? So
(01:15):
a lot of parents use Life three sixty. You put
on your kid's phone. They can consent to it. I'm
not saying you're hiring a private investigator this, but you
can see where they're going, when they're going, how fast
they drove, when they stopped, all those sorts of things.
The federal the government can track you already. But what
(01:37):
I find very disturbing is unrelated to tracking your phone
or your health records, or your transportation habits, or your
gun ownership or anything else. It is the idea of
controlling you. And when you understand that, we have to
(01:59):
join together because government is disposed toward it is inclined
toward authoritarianism. The founding of this country, the early documents,
the bylaws, if you will, the Constitution, tried very hard
(02:21):
to create a mechanism that would allow the people to
prevent this from happening. In some of it was it
was as simple as a direct as writing.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It out, Hey, you can't do this.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
In others it was saying, well, this will be you know,
the checks and balances, This will be the separation of powers.
This will be how we will create a way that
if somebody gets out of line and starts getting power hungry,
because that's what human beings have always done. You know,
(02:55):
they've been they've been following your computer, your web surfing
habits for a long time. You know, there's a there's
a meme that goes around that says, how does it
go ramon?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly
in the house. I said, I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg
was listening. She laughed. I laughed, Siri laughed, Alexa laugh.
The point is the government's desire to control you. They
(03:31):
want to implant this. This is gonna happen. And by
the way, we have neighbors in our society that will
that will be happy for this to happen.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They will implant in you a tiny little.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Device that will provide every bit of information that they
want relating to your carbon footprint, your consumption of food,
liquor water, how much you sleep. They're gonna they're gonna
know every bit of that. And there are we have
neighbors to do well. If you ain't doing nothing wrong,
what do you care if there's a theme not just
(04:08):
to today's show, it's to every show. Fight back, rage
against that machine, rage against this, never ever ever get
it given. Become a libertarian if you're not already, and
now to get us started, we always do courtesy the greats,
Executive Bruiser and all the land.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Chattakoni Nakanishi, you're.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
A week ado.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I believe that children are our future.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All across the state. I have to hear about it daily.
We need more money. Just play that all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Real cheesy and real loud, and anyone who doesn't want
to give you more money is a bad person. When
I say freebird, I ain't know what you feel. It's
a long guitar riff at the end of the song. However,
the part of that song that does not get its
due I think makes the song special is not the ending.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
It is the opening of the piano. The rest of
the song goes down here.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
UFC CEO Dana White set a fight night at the
White House on the fourth of July next year.

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm beginning for.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
On the screen you see bow chow bow.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I caught my son taking a dump on the upper
part of the toilet, all right, he calls it an
upper deck.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
His story is not about my friend being crazy, saving
except for the fact that he dates and marries women
that are crazy. This is where she thinks hard stolen
his sat ivan, sacked this house. She's done a number of.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Thing to this man.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
She goes into his restroom and delivers what I now
know the upper decker.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The upper decker for you.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Drop a deuce and the upper part of the toilet
and you bring doodo into the equation. That's straight hostility, dude,
that's personal.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
A depression is when you lose your fel barrier, and
recovery is.
Speaker 9 (06:55):
When Jimmy Carter loses his You.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Are a person wants more on Michael Berry's show The
Bad News if you were one of our producers, because
I have been riding them like rented mules, but they
have formed breaking There is so much to talk about
these days, and a number of you have said that
you want more show. Maybe you just listened to the
(07:20):
evening show, or maybe you listen to all five hours
the morning and the evening, the three hours in the
morning three hours in the evening, whether that be live
on the radio or on the podcast. And a number
of you are hybrid listeners. You listen on the radio
when you're in the car, or at the office or
at home. Or in your workshop or wherever else and
then you listen on the podcast later the things you
(07:41):
didn't hear. But one of the things we've heard for
years was could you do something on Saturday? Because I
listened to you every day of the week, you kind
of like we're friends, even if we've never met. And
so we started a Saturday podcast, which very quickly became
within probably six weeks, our biggest podcast of the week.
A numbers how many thousand people listen to us on Saturday.
(08:05):
So then slowly but surely, people say, hey, you not
to push our luck. I know you guys have to rest.
Can you do a Sunday And so we talked about it,
and we brought on Daryl Kunda, and now we we
decided that we would give it a go. And the
numbers were off the charts. Because you don't want to
waste your time, right, you don't do something nobody listens
to in our business, that's the kiss of death. You
(08:26):
rather just have the take take more time and relax.
But we this week there is so much to talk about.
And this is this is a compliment to Donald Trump.
He is he is doing so much so fast. He's
he seems like a guy who recognizes his term will
(08:47):
be over before he knows it. His life will be
over before he knows it. That's true of all of us.
So he is acting with dispatch, and that means there
is a lot to talk about, because first we have
to tell you what he's doing, and then we have
to tell you how the left is losing their mind.
And then we have to show you how what he's
doing is the right thing to do. And then we
have the follow up of look, how well it's working.
(09:10):
DC is going to end up being a wonderful place
that people want to go visit. And the people who
were there who were saying, well, to play clean, we'll
have to play be a crepi Okay, well, uh, in time,
even those people, some of those people will come around.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I do believe that.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So wherever you listen to your podcast, you can hear
our show on podcast. Our website is Michael Berryshow dot
com Michael Berryshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Why are you there? Send me an email.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I love to hear from you. Let's go to the
phone line, shall we? Seven one three, nine, nine, nine
one thousand is our number.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Let's go to Okay, Yeah, Mike, you're on the Michael
Berry show go ahead.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Brother, Yeah, I was calling you talking about Doug Schylban
on the Letterman and Letterman not knowing who they were.
And uh, there's a classic clip on I've seen on
TV several times and said, Sir Douglas Quintet when they
had She's about a boover and they're they're playing that
(10:12):
on Ed Sullivan and Ed really doesn't know who they
are either, and they're in their little English suits and
so forth, and he calls them over after the song,
you know, he says, come on over here, boys, and
he and they're standing there and Ed says, these are
some fine young men from San Antonio, Texas well. UEP
(10:34):
Moe was their manager and he didn't want anybody to
know they were from San Antonio. He promoted him as
an English group.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That makes sense you And if you.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Could have seen the look called Doug's faith, it was
like horror. He was just he was just horrified that
Ed let the cat out of the bag and then
you know it takes him in the headle off. But
it's just classic, excuse classic to look on his face.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I always thought the Sir Douglas Quartet was such a
funny name for a guy that made the kind of
music that he did.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Yeah, they have was Huey p Mo promoted him as
had a British band. He didn't want anybody to know
they were saning atonio.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You know, I don't know that they still do this today.
Maybe they do. I don't follow modern modern music, but
it's funny.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
How back in the day, you know, fifties, really sixties
and seventies, how some promoter would come up with an
image for somebody and that would be the image. Hey,
we're going to have you be this recluse from Tasmania
who just came out and started singing like a wild man,
and we don't know what to do. And they'd go, yeah,
(11:45):
but I'm from Siux City, Iowa. No, no, just play
long here, it's gonna be good. You gotta have something different.
And then you find out twenty years later that the
Tasmanian man you know, see, oh he's from sus Oh
who knew.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But that was all a gimmick.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
They were all these silly little gimmicks, you know, Redbone
come to at your love, that whole setup. I mean,
they were the least singer was an American Indian. But
that whole setup that is so distinctive when you see
him in full headdress and the whole thing, you know,
before he opens his mouth. Who that is.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
In the seventies, a band would say that the East
Coast band had, like what they were, one hit wonder
well while they were big, the promoter would make a
West Coast version of too to do local concerts and
then they were gone. But they were two different bands,
but they had to hit while the hit was big,
you know, and they had an East Coast version of
(12:38):
the West Coast version. Well, and we didn't have any
you know, we had in Austin, Texas. We had one
TV stations, but everybody else has had three.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
You didn't have you didn't have the internet?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
What where'd you grow up? I was born and raised
in Austin, well, part of Austin, off of.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
BK's Road, when nobody lived out there but Cedar Choppers.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, I figured you you were gonna say like Flugerville
or something, because people will say they're from somewhere and
then when you drill down they're not.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But they don't want to have to waste time.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well, you know, Mark Chestnut were too cold at home,
you know, they had the I think it was the
Dodgers on TV. I always wished he'd done the Astros,
but I do. I do give him a lot of
credit that he filmed that in Beaumont. But you know,
he did a song for every team in the league
so that when he was out touring he could mention
(13:37):
the local team.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And the other one who.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Did that was Billy Ocean, who had Caribbean Queen, and
then he did African Queen and European. He did different
versions for wherever he was traveling. And I love it
when people say he sold out. They want him to
be pure, And I think to myself, well, are you
going into the plan tomorrow at seven point thirty because
(14:02):
you really really believe in polypropylene or are you selling
out because you too have rent to pay?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I never got that. You know, there's this idea he's
sold out. I want him to be so pure. Okay.
You know people will tell me it's easy.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Tops sold out with Eliminator or with trace on Brazen
Eliminator and they became so popular and all that, And
I say, do you realize that ninety five percent of
the current fans would not know them if it wasn't
for MTV, an eliminator and everything after that, and the
broader influence they had because of that. You want them
(14:37):
to be the band that only you know about and
you can't pay your bills on that. Brother, Mike, great call,
Thank you, Paul Furs, and my.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Fellow Orange County buddy Michael Berry offends the establishment and
speaks for us real Americans.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm from the country and I like it that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
With are more astute than others. In this case, it
happens to be Mika Brazinski, the mistress of Joe Dirt,
Joe Morning Joe, Morning Joe, and Chris Matthews. It's kind
of interesting they let Chris Matthews back because remember Chris
Matthews was drunk every night, and he had that kind
(15:17):
of drunk irish thing going where you see people that
looks like the booze is oozing out of their eyes.
You were knowing people like that that would be him
every night. You could just see Chris Matthews at a
Boston bar. I had relatives like this. We had an
Irish side of our family and there was some drunk
(15:38):
irish multiple generation, but they still carried on the heabit
and that was Chris Matthews. And then he had a
me too. Remember the Democrats loved me too till they
realized it was mostly their men doing it, and then
they didn't care for me too anymore. And poor Harvey Weinstein,
he had to go to prison for all of them,
which I must admit I got a real kick out of.
You know, I didn't think he could act. I thought
(15:59):
he was just or of you know, the exactly behind
the scenes. But when when he came in with the
shaky hands on the on the walker with the tennis
balls at the bottom. Wait a second, last week, you're
banging Scarlet. No, that's not true.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That was Alligate. We don't know, we don't actually know.
I shouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Uh, last week, you're trying to bang half of the
Hollywood actresses out there, and you're mister smooth in your
in your nightrobe and now you're shaking along with the
walker and the green tennis balls on it. Let's Academy
Award performance there, Harvey. So going back to my point,
some in the media are more astute than others. In
(16:37):
this case, it happens to be uh Mika Brazinski and
Chris Matthews and the murder rate.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
You can't keep saying violent crime is done with the
murder rates up to the average person. The murder us
about life and death. You don't brag about a rising
murder rate. And the Democrats are I agree with you, Mikaan.
They're falling into the trap of defending what's indefensible.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
It's a trap, Yes, it's a I mean, if it's
not a winner politically to say, oh, you're wrong, look
at the data. Because you know, if one violent crime
happens in a very heavily popular part of the city,
people hear about it, and it's visceral. They don't want it,
and they want to they'll gravitate to the person who appears.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
To be doing something about it.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
This is Trace Gallagher on Fox News calling out MSNBC
for omitting juvenile crime numbers when they fact checked Donald Trump.
What's interesting about this is it's the juveniles committing the crimes.
So it's not like, you know, we're studying bourbon consumption
(17:46):
in America. Now, huh, it's lower than I thought. Ah,
you've forgot to put the fourteen, fifteen and sixteen year
olds in there. Well, I don't think it's going to
make a big difference. But when it comes to crime,
oh yeah, it's going to make a differences.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
MSNBC was fact checking President Trump in real time without
using real evidence. Every time Trump would put up a
crime stat for Washington, DC, MSNBC would knock it down.
It's the old fact check reject where you simply say
not true, not true. But as MSNBC was saying that
DC crime was down, they forgot to put up juvenile
(18:22):
crime stats, as if underage crime doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Because a DC.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Father whose child was murdered by a juvenile thinks the
crime against his family is very real and he believes
crime needs to be addressed, not dismissed. And as common
sense would point out, even if adult crime in DC
is down, it's still two hundred percent higher than the
national average. It's gone from insanely high to extremely high.
(18:46):
And when you toss in the underage crime problem, the
insane factor is back. When Trump says he's taking over
the DC police and deploying the DC National Guard, CNN
calls it deceptive, MSNBC calls it, and common sense wonders
why the left is so compelled to cot the trivials.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
See the left wing media finds itself painted into a
corner by Donald Trump. On one end, they can't agree
with him on anything, ever, because somehow that'll make him
even more powerful. On the other hand, they've told the
American people, don't believe your own eyes, don't believe you're
lying eyes, and and nobody trusts them anymore. I saw
(19:28):
a clip of who Was It went on CNBC Charlie Kirk.
He had a very good point. He said, these people
have lied to us. We don't trust them anymore. Young
people don't trust them anymore. Young people are different today. Yeah,
Ramon says, you're right, young people today, this isn't the
Woodstock generation of the sixties. Young people today are far
(19:53):
more cynical of the government and the I guess, or
maybe maybe they never changed. They're still t establishment. The
establishment became the left. I think the Saint George Floyd
riots were the tipping point for a lot of people.
We'd been told, don't leave your home, you'll spread the COVID,
(20:13):
don't visit your loved one in the hospital, don't go
see popall right before he dies. You can't marry your parents,
you can't get married young people were trying to get married,
their married, their weddings were canceled.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Bridezilla did not like that.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Don't go to church, young people, don't eat it restaurants,
don't live that fun life.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Young people are out every night, they're living living it up,
and all of a sudden you go, oh this, this
was that time of your life where you were living
it up before you get married and have kids instead
of down and all that.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, you can't do that because of COVID.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's awful, all right, or living through COVID because going
to events.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You can't go to concerts anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But I love to go to cons can't go to concerts,
can't go to anything fun, can't do anything.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
These are super spreader events.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Can't And then the riots came, Well the black people
can and the white liberals they can gather. And then
they said and then when the question was asked, well,
how is that not a super spreader, they said, well,
it doesn't matter because racism is more dangerous than COVID,
and we can have a super spreader riot over George
(21:24):
Floyd because you have to fight racism, and we can
have a super spreader event if it's fighting racism. And
that's when people said, wait a minute. You know, I've
always been told to trust all the institutions people trusted.
They realized they can't trust anymore politicians, media professors. Then
(21:47):
you had the Biden years. Everybody can see Papa wasn't right.
He wasn't what he was supposed to be. He was
broken down and demented. And they kept telling us, oh, no, no,
he's the best he's ever been. Remember, he's as good
as ever. And these were senior government officials saying that
on the air, and everybody watched as this was happening,
(22:09):
and that the lawfair was coming for Trump. They were
calling him hitler, they were calling him a threat to democracy.
They were saying all these things and doing all these things,
and they were sending out really dumb people like Jasmine
Crockett to go out and talk ghetto and it wasn't
even her natural way of speaking.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It was an affectation. And young people are smarter than that.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
As my assistant Emily will say when I say, hey,
I think this isn't and she'll say that checks out
young people. This is the catfish generation. This is a
swipe right generation. If you say you're six' three with
a full head of hair and a good ten and
you make two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a, year
and you've never been married and don't have any, kids
and you work out.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Five days a. Week they're going to go check because everybody.
Lies this is the.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Generation that's dating and, marrying and they know that people are.
Lying so nothing the pol politicians say is getting past
them any. Longer So americans don't have any trust in
the legacy. Media and, amazingly the change is not occurring
with old. People it's not that old people are Swinging
republican away From. Democrat it's young people eighteen to. Thirty
(23:18):
i've never seen. This it's shocking to. Me and So
democrats are feeling to heat because these young people it's
like beer. Drinkers you want them to drink your beer,
first because that might make a lifelong. Habit they're losing
the young. People they counted on blacks and young. People
they're losing, blacks but not at nearly as fast apace
(23:40):
as they are.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Young you're listening to The Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Show it's hard for many people in the media to
pivot because they were hired not despite their left leaning,
ways but because of, it and so that becomes a,
feature not a.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Bug simon's saying is one of those.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
People she served as a national press secretary For bernie
sanders twenty sixteen residential. Campaign she left in the summer
of sixteen after the primaries. Concluded remember they stole that,
election that primary.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
From.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Bernie and then suddenly he GETS i think it's forty
four million dollars from THE us, government FROM. USAID i
think it was for his, charity which sure looks like
a payout because it happens at exactly the time he gets.
Out they used your money to pay him to get
out of the race to clear the deck For hillary
because it was dragging on That. October Miss Simone, sanders
(24:41):
who had worked For, bernie JOINED cnn as A democrat
strategist and political. Commentator In april of, nineteen she becomes
so this is the third year of The trump, presidency
she becomes a senior advisor to Former Joe biden's twenty
(25:02):
twenty presidential. Campaign so she works For bernie and then
she goes to see an end and then she comes
back to work For. Joe that's when we call it
a revolving. Door Following biden's election, victory she was or was,
it she was appointed chief spokesman and senior advisor. Too,
oh we should get a hazard to pay for this.
(25:22):
One Kamala harris And Simone sanders was asked if she
thought more police would MAKE dc, safer and she said,
this you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Don't think more police make the streets? Safer?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Uh, No, Joe i'm a black woman In.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
AMERICA i do not always think that more police make streets.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Safer when you walk down the.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Streets So, georgetown you don't see a police officer on every,
corner but you don't feel. Unsafe so what is it
about talking about places Like SOUTHEAST dc right ward? Eight
if you will that people, say, well we need more
officers to make us.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
SAFE i think we have to rethink what safety means In.
America i'm a black woman In. America is that what
she just?

something sister.

Girl, no If i'm a black woman In, america.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
If you go walking home in any major city in
this country and you're in the inner, city it's wherever you,
are it's most likely going to be predominantly. Black and
tomorrow morning we find out that you ended up, dead
it won't be a cop that killed, you and it
won't be a white.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Man i'm tired of.

night in every major city in the, country and then
you've got these black personalities going ON. Tv And i'm
scared of the white. People i'm scared of the. Cops,

You but this is the.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Narrative And i'm gonna tell you, something it's a sad
day when this is when, nobody when nobody pushes back on,
this it's a sad.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Day i'm a black woman In.
Speaker 3 (27:08):

woman In.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
America girideradas is a frequent guest ON, msnbc and he,
said ready for this when the left is. HONEST i
really appreciate that he said he's more afraid of losing
his vote than a climate change than he is of
(27:57):
getting mugged IN. Dc so he is, really, really really
worried about climate change and he's not worried about getting
knocked in the.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
HEAD i think it's really important to be clear about
what is going on, here and a relatively small crime
problem is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we
know and. Understand so let's be clear ABOUT dc does
have a really, one really big crime, problem which was
The january sixth insurrection incited by the Current president of
(28:31):
The United, states and his first act in coming back
was pardoning all the people who tried to overturn constitutional
republic order In, WASHINGTON.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Dc WHEN i go TO, Dc i'm not.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
Afraid of losing my wallet so much As i'm afraid
of losing my. Vote i'm not afraid of losing my
wallet so much As i'm afraid that my children's freedom
to breathe will be Stolen in a world where climate
change policy is non. Existent i'm afraid that the future
of middle class people will be stolen.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
By the very things you were talking.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
About cutting the safety, net cutting, medicaid cutting rural.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Hospitals these people cannot be reasoned. With they're crazy and
you people can go do your climate change wherever you.
Want but you're not shutting down my air, conditioning my,
automobile my, truck my, things my, manufacturing my.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Industry you're not doing it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Now on has a long history of saying really stupid but,
radical far left stuff ON, msnbc because that's how you
get invited.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Back you gotta be.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Controversial he once, Said american's obsession with freedom makes us
blind to threats like viruses and climate.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Change one of the fundamental questions to me is what's
going to be our relationship to, government the.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Idea of government after. This and we kind of look
at it at three levels this.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
Week there is a Primordial ama and tradition going back
to the founders of being freedom, obsessed even though we're
a country founded on slavery and, genocide being freedom obsessed
to the point that we are always so afraid of
the government coming for us that we are blind to
other types of, threats whether it's a, virus whether it's bank,
malfeasance or how climate, change what have. You there's also
(30:20):
a more, recent kind of forty year version of, this
which is The Reagan war on. Government, right government is the.
Problem that's not just an idea on the. Right there's
a hard version on the. Right there's a small sea
conservative militant version of. It but there's also it has
infected many people on the left in this passive sense that,
YEAH i believe in, government BUT i would never go work,
(30:40):
there OR i believe in, government but you, KNOW i
kind of don't like my taxes too, high OR i
use trust in The Cayman.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Islands and then there's the more Recent.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Trump era twist in, this which is the war on
government becomes a self fulfilling. Prophecy you undermine, government you undermine,
it you undermine. It you put someone who can read
a sentence in government in the figure Of Donald, trump
and it becomes true that government sucks because you've made
it suck by telling everybody it. Sucks AND i think
(31:10):
the most important thing that could come out of this
is realizing the government is not the biggest threat to our.
Liberty it can be a threat to our, liberty but
we're threatened by, many many, things and what government fundamentally
does is protect us from a lot of those other
oppressions that we In america are often quite blind.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
To our obsession with freedom is why your parents came
to this, country you. Idiot BUT i don't even know.
THAT i don't think any of these people actually believe
what they. Say i'm never really. SURE i think they
just do it because it's a. Job you, know the
juggler is not passionate about. Juggling he doesn't think it's
(31:50):
saving the.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
World it's not his. Ministry it's how he pays his.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
BILL i don't know how many street corner prostitutes really
enjoy servicing whatever shows up with twenty?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Bus how much is?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It, oh thirty? Bucks, man, okay with thirty. BUCKS i
don't think they think this is really. Important men are stressed.
OUT i need to help them relieve. Them SO i
think they, GO i need to get some money SO
i can get some, cracks SO i can pay my.
Rent AND i think that's that's actually a pretty apt. Analogy,
ramone that's a pretty apt. ANALOGY i just come. Up
you should give me credit for THAT apt.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Analogy
