Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Holding Vice President.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Mike Pence was on the Going Big podcast with Kevin
Gentry when he said Republicans faced a new time of
choosing ahead of the twenty twenty eight election. This is
a man who himself ran for president. You've probably forgotten
because it wasn't a blip on the map. Mike Pence
(00:58):
represents everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. Mike
Pence would gain the most glory in his mind by losing.
With dignity, Mike Pence would not have pushed to redistrict.
In fact, Indiana didn't. In five of the seven Republican
(01:21):
senators who were up for reelection who voted against redistricting lost.
The American people have had enough. We'd no longer want
John Cornyn as a senator. We no longer want these
types of sellouts. We expect action. Here's what he had
(01:42):
to say.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I think Republicans face a new time of choosing whether
we're going to stay on the path of the traditional
conservative principles that have always defined our party for the
last half century, or whether we're going to follow the
siren song of populism on more to concern of principles.
And there are loud voices in and out of government,
(02:04):
some of which have been able to influence the new
Trump administration in ways that are taking our party, in
our movement far afield from those traditional conservative underpinnings.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Those traditional conservative underpinnings. This is a party who put
John mccainup as our nominee in two thousand and eight,
a man who was part of the Keating five or
Keating seven, a man who had taken bribes, a man
who had said We're not going to build a damn wall,
A man who refused to do anything about illegal immigration.
(02:43):
That was our nominee. This is a party who put
Bob dolea in nineteen ninety six who knew Gingrich famously
called the tax collector for the welfare state, Bob Dole,
who'd been in the Senate for longer than most people
are ever alive, who was the Senate leader, Republican leader,
A guy who was a sellout, compromiser, a modern day
(03:06):
Mitch McConnell or Mitch mcconnald's, a modern day Bob Dole.
When Mike Pence tells you about the glory days of
the Republican Party that we're running a field of. He's
telling you about the Republican Party that Trump was the
rejection of. He's telling you about the Republican Party that
had people no longer willing to vote. Because what's the
point for Mitt Romney In twenty twelve. Mitt Romney couldn't
(03:32):
attack Barack Obama for Obamacare because the Obamacare platform principles
were actually from what Mitt Romney had done in Massachusetts.
Romney helped the Obama administration implement Obamacare. It was a
cut and paste of Romneycare. So you're telling me that's
(03:55):
a good old Republican Party, that grand old party it was.
And then he says there are rising voices of isolationism.
You know what he means here. These are people that
don't want to be in forever wars. These are people
who think we shouldn't have been in Vietnam. Boy, that
was a round arousing success. These are people who don't
(04:19):
believe we should have been in Afghanistan, our boys getting slaughtered,
in our treasury being pillaged. These are boys who don't
believe we should have been in Iraq. We left Iraq
worse than we found it. These are folks that don't
want to do the things that Dick Cheney and Karl
Rove want to do. These are isolationists. What does that mean?
(04:42):
What was isolationists mean? It means that we don't want
to pay for the wars of the rest of the world.
We don't want to fund Ukraine, we don't want to
fund the Middle East, we don't want to fund Mexico.
We're tired of Americans getting short shrift. We're tired of
sending our boys to fight wars that are unwinnable and
(05:04):
engaging in nation building.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. If that makes us isolationists, so be it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
You know, where we've always been the party of a
strong defense, and we see America as leader of the
free world. The arsenal democracy. There rising course of isolationist
voices in the Republican Party. I write about that in
my book Where Where We've always been a party committed
to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now
(05:35):
as we witness the president and impose even a lateral
tariffs on friend and foe alike, until the Supreme Court
stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh yes, the arsenal of democracy. We want a strong
defense department. You know what that means. That means seven
hundred toilets. That means really really expensive weaponry because it
(06:09):
keeps us safe. You see, see when we were in
Vietnam for fifteen years, it kept us safe. Syah, Now
your uncle died, your other two uncles came home with
PTSD and blew their brains out. But that's okay because
(06:31):
we spend money on defense. We're the arsenal democracy. Yeah,
but hoachy men and the Communists ended up taking over
Vietnam anyway, But we told them we meant business. Did
you mean business? Because what I saw was we hollowed
out working class kids who got drafted and sent to
(06:55):
Vietnam in a war we lost. And then we brought
Vietnamese here and they succeeded in America, where a lot
of those veterans didn't because their minds were muddled. They
were all jangled after that war that agent orange dropped
on them. Is that the arsenal democracy? Is that the
(07:18):
republican principle? Or are we isolationists if we don't want
to do that? And then we went to Iraq because
they had weapons of mass destruction. Everyone now realizes that
was a lie because we had to fight Saddam Hussein.
We had missiles to drop, we had embassies to build,
we had MRIs to sell. You got all these big
(07:41):
defense contractors that put all these senators and governors on
the payroll, so they can do interviews every night on
Fox News and talk about how we have to be tough.
We're going to be tough, to tough, and they pound
their chests. One of I've ever been shot at. But boy,
they're tough, and you need to be tough. And if
you don't want to spend the entire budget on defense,
(08:03):
then you're.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Not tough like them. They're tough. These are tough people, and.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You you're just a weekly and you're isolationists. We're going
to be overrun if we don't fight all these wars
all the time and lose all our boys and send
all our missiles and all our ships and all our dollars,
then they'll come and get us.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Is that how that works?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know you can keep that Republican kids, I think
all of us are done with that. So a man
burgles a funeral home, there's a third war. They catch him,
which is very hard to do, and then they let
him out because why not, Why would we punish someone
for doing this sort of thing. Imagine trying to run
a business in the city of Houston. Used to be
(08:44):
a shop in town. It was getting hit again and
again and again that bust in their windows that do
all sorts of stuff. So the owner staged on top
of the building, couldn't get the cops out there. They
were getting broken into and their inventory stolen. I think
it happened seven times in one year. He'd had enough.
(09:07):
They set a fire at one point, he'd had enough,
couldn't get insurance for his full inventory because the claims
they kept making. So she's coming out of their pocket.
And how can you run a business You walk in
every day and you start the day by cleaning up
the glass that's shattered all over the floor. And so
he waited on the back side of the building. Armed,
(09:31):
bad guys come in. They get to the back door,
which is in an alley, and they start beating on
the door like the police whether they call that Ramrod
or whatever it's called, bust open the door.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And they figure out that he's up there. He slips and.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
A cop comes up during all this, and the guy
turns and swivels on the cop and points his gun
at the cop, and the cop puts him down. So
my friend who was on top, there's another guy inside,
and he drops his gun, puts his hands up. When
they review the footage, that guy had aimed his gun
(10:16):
on the top. Who's going to shoot through the roof?
And there was another guy leaned against the wall looking
up that the minute my friend leaned out over the
roof to look down and see what was going on, He's
going to blow his head off. You can't run a
business like this anyway. So the guy's free on bomb
for burglarizing, for burgling a funeral home. The other third word,
(10:37):
he's arrested for returning to the same funeral home pretending
to be an investigator from the DA's office. Can you
imagine he was trying to break in and they said, hey,
what are you doing here, and he said, I'm investigating.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'm with the DA's office.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He had a hammer, a crowbar, a bolt cutter, and
a chisel, not really the things that DA investigators usually carry.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
ABC thirteen of the story.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
The Barkley family telling us they're taking a big sigh
of relief knowing that this man has been arrested and
is currently behind bars. They tell us this same person
burglarized their funeral home back in January and is accused
of stealing thousands of dollars worth of things, including electronics.
The general manager, Stephanie Barkley, says she was at work
(11:19):
yesterday cleaning up when a man identified a man police
identify rather as Isaac mcnease showed up again, but this
time with a fake name, claiming he was an investigator
with the District Attorney's office following up on the January
theft case.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Barkley says the man.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Looked familiar and there was something off about him. She
says mcnese asked what other investigators of the DA's office
had told her, and she says she asked him for
his identification and when he showed her his ID, she
immediately recognized his name and tells us she got chills.
Barkley says she told him she was going to lock
(11:54):
up her pet and would be right back, but in
that moment, she shut that door behind her and called
nine one one.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This is the same guy that broke in. He's back.
I don't know what he wants. He's beating on the door.
He's yelling something, she tells us.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
When police arrived, that man was immediately arrested and investigators
see inside of his backpack. They found multiple tools, including
a crowbar and a hammock and a hammer rather among
other things. Now we do know that he is charged
and in jail right now, accused of impersonating a public
servant and burglary of a building.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
One of my favorite comedians, guy named James Gregory, I
think he finally passed. Talking about funerals, he said, small
town funerals have a tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And boy does he nail it.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Givy small towns where I'm from. His call like the
tradition and besides that huge something to talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's a funeral harmer. We I went the kid. People
was outside talking like that.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Did you see the car he was driving? If you
ain't saying it smashed all the hail? They said he
was doing about seventy he left the road I met.
You didn't think he was doing a hundred?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Why you can't until what kind of car that is?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I know what kind of his.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I don't want to have the coach sign for him.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean, I know he's deadn't gone.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Ain't course I here talk about it, but you he
never did have no credit.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Now, everything he had was a co signing that big
boat in the driveway.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
He was Brownwong coach sign Land And don't meany people
know this. But his house with him and his name
that was in his daies night. Of course his first
wife is wat ruined his credit.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Sure did.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
She's wanting to run off with that UPS man. No,
like I say, he's dead and gone, I ain't gonn
start him talking about him.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
But you.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
You know he had to be some kind of dumb eyes.
The UPS truck coming to the house every other day,
never was no damn package. You ain't seen the car.
But we don't leave the summer here. We'll drive a Junkyard.
I show Teddy get.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Smashed onto because see these folks, if you die in
a car wreck, they can always retrieve the body. And
see we need that because I'm badness. You give us
something to embombs and take your salad. We can have
a funeral.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Got a message from Alan Roaden, who over the years
has sent me emails.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He's got what's the name of this?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I cannot read it and I can't explode it up
Rusty Buckle Barbecue up North.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He is said.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I know I've invited you up here many times, and
I've referenced our good friend Lewis Floory of Ability Tree Service,
and he always says to put it on your tab
if you ever come up and eat well. I've been
closed since December because I can't ride two horses with
one ass. While I was delivering Florrie's Turkey Day dinner
in twenty three when I was notified of an explosion
and subsequent fire at our restaurant.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We reopened after two months and.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Operated out of a food truck food trailer until December
of last year. We're finally about to reopen, and you're
still invited. Someone wrote the following review. Everything is made fresh,
but Man Barbecue has gone up in price waiting for
the new location to reopen after the fire, And he
(15:16):
says that's all.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It says.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Who takes the time to take shots at a small
business owner. You know, price is a funny thing, and
I spend a lot of time preaching on it. If
you don't like the price of something, you don't have
to pay it, you can leave. You're not entitled to it.
People have this out. The worst thing we ever came
(15:39):
up with is the customer is always right. What nobody
took into account is there are some very abusive people.
They're miserable in their marriage, they're miserable in their job
and their therapy. Their outlet, their catharsis is to go
to restaurants and abuse people and then go online and
try to destroy that person's business. Okay, prices are up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do you know what beef prices have done.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I make up myself at home, then do but nobody
comes to your job and craps all over you.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just don't understand it. I don't get it, and
I do get it. I tell you what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Everybody coach, everybody criticizes the little league coach, umpire, the
HOA president, the school teacher, the cop, the business owner
of the retail shop owner because they've never had to
do anything themselves. All they've ever done is punch of
clock or not work and criticize everybody else. Just try
doing one of those things for one day. You'll be shocked.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
I don't do anything but common share.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Mister Michael Barry, I don't do rocket scientry.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
We are five days from early voting in the primary runoffs,
and it is understandably confusing. Well didn't we just finish
voting last week or the week before? I thought, what happened?
When am I supposed to vote? Who's up for election?
(17:08):
There should be one uniform election date. We should go
vote for everyone, for everything and be done. We should
not have school boards on a different date. It is
(17:29):
my belief that the reason the school boards, the reason
the school districts have a different calendar is they want
low turnout. They want the turnout to be able to
be driven by school district employees, which is the largest
voting block, and contractors who are.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Doing business with the school who.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Want the contract to build the new location of the
new gym or the new stadium, or returf the field
or whatever else they're doing. And as a result of this,
when we already had, instead of Texas a March primary
in November general and then we have a runoff for
our primaries, which is what we'll start next week for
(18:17):
our state rep state senators, Congress, judiciary, gubernatorial, then there
is little appetite to then invest in a whole set
of other elections like the school district for the school board,
so you end up with a very low turnout of
(18:39):
the board that's going to choose your superintendent and govern
in some small communities, the largest commercial entity in the county,
and nobody really paid attention to it. And I'm not
saying that it's a good thing that people don't vote.
(19:01):
I'm saying that the system is rigged to make it
very hard to vote. People don't want to be focused
on politics twenty four to seven. They're not Carl Rove.
They don't make a living at it. They just want
good roads and good schools. They want things to work.
So we have a very important runoff next week eighteenth
(19:24):
through the twenty second, and then shortly after that we'll
have quote unquote election day. I hate that term because
I don't want people to wait till election day to vote.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
But here we are.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That is the term that has been used as the
term you will hear and if you wait until election day,
invariably the voting location will not be where you thought
it was, and you'll be determined that they're trying to
keep you from voting when you could have voted early
and not had this problem. You'll get there at seven
o'clock on election day, rushing to get in line, harried
(19:54):
because you still need to buy groceries and cook tonight,
and you've got people waiting at the house, and you
got a hungry ca and your husband, and then it
becomes a whole lot easier to just not vote. Or
it could be raining, or you're sick, or you have
to travel.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You get the point.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So why not vote early on your own schedule. It's
a primary runoff. I think most people know how they're
going to vote within reason. Now this is known in
political circles as the silly season for a reason. You're
going to notice a couple of things. You're going to
(20:31):
notice that everybody on the Republican side is Donald Trump's
best friend. That's what they're going to do. John Cornyn
has now come out having authored a bill that he
has introduced to name Highway to eighty seven that goes
(20:51):
from East Texas all the way up to Waksahatchie after
Donald Trump. Now that's odd timing, isn't it. Five days
before we're supposed to vote. The president, who is far
more popular than John Cornyn, whose voters by and large
(21:12):
don't like. John Cornyn, is all of a sudden just
out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
By god, I can't drive two eighty seven again without
saying Donald Trump's name. And I know my fellow Texans
feel the same. Can I get an amen? Can we
all come together and name this highway.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
For Donald J. Trump?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The man's on his way to China right now for us,
and as you're senior senator for twenty four years, I
feel like now is a time to honor that man.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
As our president.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
With a road nothing to make me happy to be
driving along and see it on the screen. Oh yes,
it's the most amazing thing. We'll rename it forty five
forty seven, not eighty six forty seven like that awful Jim,
call me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We'll do it for Donald J.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Trump. You joining with me? I think I will. While
I'm in it. I'd like you to have six more
years to pander to me right before the election.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I trust you. I'm just dumb enough.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
To believe it, because you're going to get a lot
of voters who are not going to be steeped in
what's happened, and they're going to see on the small
town news one US senator is seeking to name a
highway for our president. That's right, Senator John Cornyn has
(22:46):
introduced to Bill. Some of them might be sitting at
home and think about, damn time we got stuff named
for Lyndon Johnson FDR at least named something for for Trump.
But John Cornyn is the same man who said as
(23:09):
of this election that put this president in He's only
been in a little over a year. As of this election,
he said the party should move on, the country should
move on from Donald Trump. He's not the future. He
doesn't have a chance to win. He needs to get
(23:30):
out of politics. John Cornyn did not want him to
be president. That's what he said in public. What do
you think he said behind the scenes? What do you
think he and Rove have plotted and schemed and connived
as they backstabbed him. When he has refused, as a
(23:52):
supposed leader in the Senate to get the Save Act
so we could have legitimate elections. People ask me all
the time, wouldn't the Republicans want legitimate elections? This is
painful to hear, frustrating, and seemingly counterintuitive. But if you're
John Cornyn, the system is working just fine for you.
(24:13):
You don't want to make changes. You don't want to
upset the Democrats. You have entanglements, you have deals you
cut with the Democrats and deals they've cut with you.
This is like bad rastling, not the good stuff. Somebody's
got to be the heel. I'll be your heel, and
the Democrat primary you'd be minor Republican primary. What did
(24:35):
Jasmine Crockett say if she won as senator, the one
Senator she could get along with was John Cornyn because
he'd work with her. I don't care what the issue is.
If you're working with Jasmine Crockett, you're not representing me.
That's for certain. There's nothing you could find common ground
(24:57):
with Jasmine Crockett on And how is it that you've
been cutting deals behind the behind the scenes. Now you're
gonna hear people say, I know, oh, I like passion,
I don't like Corny, but we got to elect him.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
We won't win in November. That's what Carl Rove says.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
That's exactly what he said about Trump in sixteen, twenty
and twenty four. I know you want Trump, but here
you need to be from our guy over here because
Trump can't win in November.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
John Cornyn, Now, I want you to believe that it's
him and Trump against the world. He's got Trump's back, Yeah,
while he's stabbing it brutus. You don't think that Donald
Trump would have endorsed the sitting senator.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
For re election if he was his ally.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Trump endorsed name it oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
Os didn't even really live in Pennsylvania. I don't think
there was ever much of a chance he was going
to win anyway in a state that we needed to win,
a purple state, with the real opportunity. He went against
(26:31):
the base. He's not afraid to take an unpopular position
for a friend. He supported herschel Walker in Georgia. He
will wade into the battle.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And endorse.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You don't think it's odd why he's not endorsing Cornyon.
Really only two people he didn't endorse that he was
expected to in the country, the sitting congressman from Congressional
District to Dan Crenshaw. That was a statement in and
of itself. Everybody saw the statement and John Cornyan. So
(27:14):
Cornyn's record, here's a montage of some of the things
he said.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Strong words from you A Senator John Cordon out of Texas,
the Republican says former President Donald Trump can't win the
twenty twenty four general election for President Cornyon saying, I
think President Trump's time is passing by.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Are you saying don't vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 10 (27:32):
You know it's too important to.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Gamble. I do think it's very important that we have
a candidate who can win in twenty twenty four, and
I'm not sure President Trump is that candidate.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You've said that. Do you think it's time for the
Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
To mot rewind that for a few seconds. This is
what the establishment has done for as long as I
have followed politics. When there is an establishment candidate who
sells you out, who won't get the wall built, who
won't stand up to Obama, who won't kill Obamacare, who
(28:09):
won't provide secure elections because they're selling out. His daughter's
a lobbyist. She went from not having a single lobbying
job to being hired by a lobbying firm out of
Austin that then opens a shop in DC and in
their materials say what we got John Cornyn's daughter.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You know what that is?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That is everything wrong with politics. Daddy got them lobbying contracts.
We must presume they didn't pay her for being smart.
They didn't pay her for her experience. She may be smart,
I don't know, but they didn't pay her for experience,
and in that business experience in relationships. How does she
(28:57):
have those relationships? Because daddy's been in the Senate law
and she's been alive practically. So you're gonna hear Cornyn
say we don't want Trump in twenty four. M M,
he can't win. Why do they do this? Because they
can't argue that Trump won't do what you wanted him
(29:20):
to do. You voted for him in sixteen, you voted
for him in twenty and you're gonna vote for him
in twenty four. But he says, yeah, but he can't win.
He can't beat the Democrats. That's exactly what the same consultant,
Karl Rove is saying about Ken Pax. Oh, we know
you want Paxton, We know you don't want Cornyan, but
(29:42):
Paxton can't win.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I think President Trump's time is passing by.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Are you saying, don't vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 10 (29:48):
You know it's too important to gamble.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
I do think it's very important that we have a
candidate who can win in twenty twenty four. And I'm
not sure our President Trump is that.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Candidate you've said that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you think it's time for the Republican Party to
move on from President Trump?
Speaker 10 (30:05):
You know, in politics, unless you could win an election,
you're pretty much irrelevant.
Speaker 11 (30:10):
In a senator didn't say who he intends to support,
but again double down on who he believes the Republican
Party should not nominate, and that is former President Donald Trump.
Cornon told Fox twenty six he won't be supporting former
President Trump, and neither should other Republicans.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
All right there, he won't be supporting Trump votes. We're
not tumbaut ten years ago. We're talking about in the
election that made Trump your president. Right now, Cornyan went
on the record, I will not be supporting him. I'm
(30:49):
asking you not to support him. And he thinks we
are so stupid, or Karl Rove does that we are
so stupid that right before the election he can dye
his hair orange, maybe go play golf at mar A
Lago and say, I just really want this highway name
(31:11):
for Trump, the guy you didn't want to be our nominee,
the guy who's president in defiance of what you try
to get people to do. Now you're so madly in
love with him, all right, keep going.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
He won't be supporting former President Trump, and neither should
Other Republicans want to ask.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You about the indictment and the charges against former President Trump.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Unfortunately, he's created the circumstance for himself.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Texas Senator John Cordin says a wall is not the
answer to securing our border.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Reported the other day saying you're not for a wall
and the people of Texas are not for a wall.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What gives you that impression?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
A wall?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I have to tell you, Juncker is not going to
stop your legal limit.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Gradall is an immorality. What we need is a virtual border.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Food giant wall from sea to shining sea makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What's the weather? The walls do not make us safer.
I have a problem with the wall period.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
The idea of a wall is somewhat off putting to
a lot of people.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
You are in favor of something called a virtual border.
I mean, do you see when people hear that, they go.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
Huh, yeah, it needs some explanation.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
John Corner has decided to take guns from a lawful
gun owner.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
The rights granted by the Second Amendment are not unlimited, becausedent.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
Biden said do something. I've found that if you want
to get something done in Congress, working with the Democrat
is a pretty good idea.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
As a matter of fact, is the only way.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
I am proud that for the first time in thirty
years we passed some gun violence prevention Center of Horn
help lead in the Senate.
Speaker 12 (32:45):
Also want to thank you by products and group of
senators who work so hard to get this done, especially
Senators Murphy Cinema Horning. Hopefully I'll get you in trouble
with Matchine their name.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
So the backbone is Cyning called the red flag wall.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
A red flag wall would allow.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
The government to tampascate you were firearms without even charging
him crime.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Much less convicting you.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Of who the.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
League is John Cornyn. And the amazing thing about John
Cornyon is he admits he doesn't care about gun crimes
him by actual criminals. Consider John Kennedy Ash Horney during
one launch quote, are we focused on gang violence and
interceding murders? And there's once as no, we're not focusing
on that. John Corner has decided to take guns from
lawful gun owners. That if there's one reason you vote Republican,
(33:28):
it's prevent.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
That so.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Now, so now Cornyan who's worked against Trump and never
done what we wanted in twenty four years, And what
do they say, Well, well, Kim Paxton, he went through
a divorce. Uh, he was with another woman, So is Trump.
Go back and look at the Trump marriage with Evonna,
Go back and look at Martin Maples. I'm not trying
to criticize Trump. I'm trying to tell you they focus
(33:56):
on stuff that doesn't affect your life. You can't trust
these guys because of women. I can't trust Cornin because
of what he does.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
The gentleman Ellis.
Speaker 7 (34:08):
Has left the building.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Thank you, and goodnight,
It's that time time, time luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Holding Vice President.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Mike Pence was on the Going Big podcast with Kevin
Gentry when he said Republicans faced a new time of
choosing ahead of the twenty twenty eight election. This is
a man who himself ran for president. You've probably forgotten
because it wasn't a blip on the map. Mike Pence
(00:58):
represents everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. Mike
Pence would gain the most glory in his mind by losing.
With dignity, Mike Pence would not have pushed to redistrict.
In fact, Indiana didn't. In five of the seven Republican
(01:21):
senators who were up for reelection who voted against redistricting lost.
The American people have had enough. We'd no longer want
John Cornyn as a senator. We no longer want these
types of sellouts. We expect action. Here's what he had
(01:42):
to say.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I think Republicans face a new time of choosing whether
we're going to stay on the path of the traditional
conservative principles that have always defined our party for the
last half century, or whether we're going to follow the
siren song of populism on more to concern of principles.
And there are loud voices in and out of government,
(02:04):
some of which have been able to influence the new
Trump administration in ways that are taking our party, in
our movement far afield from those traditional conservative underpinnings.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Those traditional conservative underpinnings. This is a party who put
John mccainup as our nominee in two thousand and eight,
a man who was part of the Keating five or
Keating seven, a man who had taken bribes, a man
who had said We're not going to build a damn wall,
A man who refused to do anything about illegal immigration.
(02:43):
That was our nominee. This is a party who put
Bob dolea in nineteen ninety six who knew Gingrich famously
called the tax collector for the welfare state, Bob Dole,
who'd been in the Senate for longer than most people
are ever alive, who was the Senate leader, Republican leader,
A guy who was a sellout, compromiser, a modern day
(03:06):
Mitch McConnell or Mitch mcconnald's, a modern day Bob Dole.
When Mike Pence tells you about the glory days of
the Republican Party that we're running a field of. He's
telling you about the Republican Party that Trump was the
rejection of. He's telling you about the Republican Party that
had people no longer willing to vote. Because what's the
point for Mitt Romney In twenty twelve. Mitt Romney couldn't
(03:32):
attack Barack Obama for Obamacare because the Obamacare platform principles
were actually from what Mitt Romney had done in Massachusetts.
Romney helped the Obama administration implement Obamacare. It was a
cut and paste of Romneycare. So you're telling me that's
(03:55):
a good old Republican Party, that grand old party it was.
And then he says there are rising voices of isolationism.
You know what he means here. These are people that
don't want to be in forever wars. These are people
who think we shouldn't have been in Vietnam. Boy, that
was a round arousing success. These are people who don't
(04:19):
believe we should have been in Afghanistan, our boys getting slaughtered,
in our treasury being pillaged. These are boys who don't
believe we should have been in Iraq. We left Iraq
worse than we found it. These are folks that don't
want to do the things that Dick Cheney and Karl
Rove want to do. These are isolationists. What does that mean?
(04:42):
What was isolationists mean? It means that we don't want
to pay for the wars of the rest of the world.
We don't want to fund Ukraine, we don't want to
fund the Middle East, we don't want to fund Mexico.
We're tired of Americans getting short shrift. We're tired of
sending our boys to fight wars that are unwinnable and
(05:04):
engaging in nation building.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah. If that makes us isolationists, so be it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
You know, where we've always been the party of a
strong defense, and we see America as leader of the
free world. The arsenal democracy. There rising course of isolationist
voices in the Republican Party. I write about that in
my book Where Where We've always been a party committed
to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now
(05:35):
as we witness the president and impose even a lateral
tariffs on friend and foe alike, until the Supreme Court
stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh yes, the arsenal of democracy. We want a strong
defense department. You know what that means. That means seven
hundred toilets. That means really really expensive weaponry because it
(06:09):
keeps us safe. You see, see when we were in
Vietnam for fifteen years, it kept us safe. Syah, Now
your uncle died, your other two uncles came home with
PTSD and blew their brains out. But that's okay because
(06:31):
we spend money on defense. We're the arsenal democracy. Yeah,
but hoachy men and the Communists ended up taking over
Vietnam anyway, But we told them we meant business. Did
you mean business? Because what I saw was we hollowed
out working class kids who got drafted and sent to
(06:55):
Vietnam in a war we lost. And then we brought
Vietnamese here and they succeeded in America, where a lot
of those veterans didn't because their minds were muddled. They
were all jangled after that war that agent orange dropped
on them. Is that the arsenal democracy? Is that the
(07:18):
republican principle? Or are we isolationists if we don't want
to do that? And then we went to Iraq because
they had weapons of mass destruction. Everyone now realizes that
was a lie because we had to fight Saddam Hussein.
We had missiles to drop, we had embassies to build,
we had MRIs to sell. You got all these big
(07:41):
defense contractors that put all these senators and governors on
the payroll, so they can do interviews every night on
Fox News and talk about how we have to be tough.
We're going to be tough, to tough, and they pound
their chests. One of I've ever been shot at. But boy,
they're tough, and you need to be tough. And if
you don't want to spend the entire budget on defense,
(08:03):
then you're.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Not tough like them. They're tough. These are tough people, and.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You you're just a weekly and you're isolationists. We're going
to be overrun if we don't fight all these wars
all the time and lose all our boys and send
all our missiles and all our ships and all our dollars,
then they'll come and get us.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Is that how that works?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know you can keep that Republican kids, I think
all of us are done with that. So a man
burgles a funeral home, there's a third war. They catch him,
which is very hard to do, and then they let
him out because why not, Why would we punish someone
for doing this sort of thing. Imagine trying to run
a business in the city of Houston. Used to be
(08:44):
a shop in town. It was getting hit again and
again and again that bust in their windows that do
all sorts of stuff. So the owner staged on top
of the building, couldn't get the cops out there. They
were getting broken into and their inventory stolen. I think
it happened seven times in one year. He'd had enough.
(09:07):
They set a fire at one point, he'd had enough,
couldn't get insurance for his full inventory because the claims
they kept making. So she's coming out of their pocket.
And how can you run a business You walk in
every day and you start the day by cleaning up
the glass that's shattered all over the floor. And so
he waited on the back side of the building. Armed,
(09:31):
bad guys come in. They get to the back door,
which is in an alley, and they start beating on
the door like the police whether they call that Ramrod
or whatever it's called, bust open the door.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And they figure out that he's up there. He slips and.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
A cop comes up during all this, and the guy
turns and swivels on the cop and points his gun
at the cop, and the cop puts him down. So
my friend who was on top, there's another guy inside,
and he drops his gun, puts his hands up. When
they review the footage, that guy had aimed his gun
(10:16):
on the top. Who's going to shoot through the roof?
And there was another guy leaned against the wall looking
up that the minute my friend leaned out over the
roof to look down and see what was going on, He's
going to blow his head off. You can't run a
business like this anyway. So the guy's free on bomb
for burglarizing, for burgling a funeral home. The other third word,
(10:37):
he's arrested for returning to the same funeral home pretending
to be an investigator from the DA's office. Can you
imagine he was trying to break in and they said, hey,
what are you doing here, and he said, I'm investigating.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'm with the DA's office.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
He had a hammer, a crowbar, a bolt cutter, and
a chisel, not really the things that DA investigators usually carry.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
ABC thirteen of the story.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
The Barkley family telling us they're taking a big sigh
of relief knowing that this man has been arrested and
is currently behind bars. They tell us this same person
burglarized their funeral home back in January and is accused
of stealing thousands of dollars worth of things, including electronics.
The general manager, Stephanie Barkley, says she was at work
(11:19):
yesterday cleaning up when a man identified a man police
identify rather as Isaac mcnease showed up again, but this
time with a fake name, claiming he was an investigator
with the District Attorney's office following up on the January
theft case.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Barkley says the man.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Looked familiar and there was something off about him. She
says mcnese asked what other investigators of the DA's office
had told her, and she says she asked him for
his identification and when he showed her his ID, she
immediately recognized his name and tells us she got chills.
Barkley says she told him she was going to lock
(11:54):
up her pet and would be right back, but in
that moment, she shut that door behind her and called
nine one one.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This is the same guy that broke in. He's back.
I don't know what he wants. He's beating on the door.
He's yelling something, she tells us.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
When police arrived, that man was immediately arrested and investigators
see inside of his backpack. They found multiple tools, including
a crowbar and a hammock and a hammer rather among
other things. Now we do know that he is charged
and in jail right now, accused of impersonating a public
servant and burglary of a building.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
One of my favorite comedians, guy named James Gregory, I
think he finally passed. Talking about funerals, he said, small
town funerals have a tradition unlike any other.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And boy does he nail it.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Givy small towns where I'm from. His call like the
tradition and besides that huge something to talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's a funeral harmer. We I went the kid. People
was outside talking like that.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Did you see the car he was driving? If you
ain't saying it smashed all the hail? They said he
was doing about seventy he left the road I met.
You didn't think he was doing a hundred?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Why you can't until what kind of car that is?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I know what kind of his.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I don't want to have the coach sign for him.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean, I know he's deadn't gone.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Ain't course I here talk about it, but you he
never did have no credit.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Now, everything he had was a co signing that big
boat in the driveway.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
He was Brownwong coach sign Land And don't meany people
know this. But his house with him and his name
that was in his daies night. Of course his first
wife is wat ruined his credit.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Sure did.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
She's wanting to run off with that UPS man. No,
like I say, he's dead and gone, I ain't gonn
start him talking about him.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
But you.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
You know he had to be some kind of dumb eyes.
The UPS truck coming to the house every other day,
never was no damn package. You ain't seen the car.
But we don't leave the summer here. We'll drive a Junkyard.
I show Teddy get.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Smashed onto because see these folks, if you die in
a car wreck, they can always retrieve the body. And
see we need that because I'm badness. You give us
something to embombs and take your salad. We can have
a funeral.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Got a message from Alan Roaden, who over the years
has sent me emails.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He's got what's the name of this?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I cannot read it and I can't explode it up
Rusty Buckle Barbecue up North.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
He is said.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I know I've invited you up here many times, and
I've referenced our good friend Lewis Floory of Ability Tree Service,
and he always says to put it on your tab
if you ever come up and eat well. I've been
closed since December because I can't ride two horses with
one ass. While I was delivering Florrie's Turkey Day dinner
in twenty three when I was notified of an explosion
and subsequent fire at our restaurant.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We reopened after two months and.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Operated out of a food truck food trailer until December
of last year. We're finally about to reopen, and you're
still invited. Someone wrote the following review. Everything is made fresh,
but Man Barbecue has gone up in price waiting for
the new location to reopen after the fire, And he
(15:16):
says that's all.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It says.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Who takes the time to take shots at a small
business owner. You know, price is a funny thing, and
I spend a lot of time preaching on it. If
you don't like the price of something, you don't have
to pay it, you can leave. You're not entitled to it.
People have this out. The worst thing we ever came
(15:39):
up with is the customer is always right. What nobody
took into account is there are some very abusive people.
They're miserable in their marriage, they're miserable in their job
and their therapy. Their outlet, their catharsis is to go
to restaurants and abuse people and then go online and
try to destroy that person's business. Okay, prices are up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Do you know what beef prices have done.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I make up myself at home, then do but nobody
comes to your job and craps all over you.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just don't understand it. I don't get it, and
I do get it. I tell you what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Everybody coach, everybody criticizes the little league coach, umpire, the
HOA president, the school teacher, the cop, the business owner
of the retail shop owner because they've never had to
do anything themselves. All they've ever done is punch of
clock or not work and criticize everybody else. Just try
doing one of those things for one day. You'll be shocked.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
I don't do anything but common share.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Mister Michael Barry, I don't do rocket scientry.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
We are five days from early voting in the primary runoffs,
and it is understandably confusing. Well didn't we just finish
voting last week or the week before? I thought, what happened?
When am I supposed to vote? Who's up for election?
(17:08):
There should be one uniform election date. We should go
vote for everyone, for everything and be done. We should
not have school boards on a different date. It is
(17:29):
my belief that the reason the school boards, the reason
the school districts have a different calendar is they want
low turnout. They want the turnout to be able to
be driven by school district employees, which is the largest
voting block, and contractors who are.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Doing business with the school who.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Want the contract to build the new location of the
new gym or the new stadium, or returf the field
or whatever else they're doing. And as a result of this,
when we already had, instead of Texas a March primary
in November general and then we have a runoff for
our primaries, which is what we'll start next week for
(18:17):
our state rep state senators, Congress, judiciary, gubernatorial, then there
is little appetite to then invest in a whole set
of other elections like the school district for the school board,
so you end up with a very low turnout of
(18:39):
the board that's going to choose your superintendent and govern
in some small communities, the largest commercial entity in the county,
and nobody really paid attention to it. And I'm not
saying that it's a good thing that people don't vote.
(19:01):
I'm saying that the system is rigged to make it
very hard to vote. People don't want to be focused
on politics twenty four to seven. They're not Carl Rove.
They don't make a living at it. They just want
good roads and good schools. They want things to work.
So we have a very important runoff next week eighteenth
(19:24):
through the twenty second, and then shortly after that we'll
have quote unquote election day. I hate that term because
I don't want people to wait till election day to vote.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
But here we are.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That is the term that has been used as the
term you will hear and if you wait until election day,
invariably the voting location will not be where you thought
it was, and you'll be determined that they're trying to
keep you from voting when you could have voted early
and not had this problem. You'll get there at seven
o'clock on election day, rushing to get in line, harried
(19:54):
because you still need to buy groceries and cook tonight,
and you've got people waiting at the house, and you
got a hungry ca and your husband, and then it
becomes a whole lot easier to just not vote. Or
it could be raining, or you're sick, or you have
to travel.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You get the point.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So why not vote early on your own schedule. It's
a primary runoff. I think most people know how they're
going to vote within reason. Now this is known in
political circles as the silly season for a reason. You're
going to notice a couple of things. You're going to
(20:31):
notice that everybody on the Republican side is Donald Trump's
best friend. That's what they're going to do. John Cornyn
has now come out having authored a bill that he
has introduced to name Highway to eighty seven that goes
(20:51):
from East Texas all the way up to Waksahatchie after
Donald Trump. Now that's odd timing, isn't it. Five days
before we're supposed to vote. The president, who is far
more popular than John Cornyn, whose voters by and large
(21:12):
don't like. John Cornyn, is all of a sudden just
out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
By god, I can't drive two eighty seven again without
saying Donald Trump's name. And I know my fellow Texans
feel the same. Can I get an amen? Can we
all come together and name this highway.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
For Donald J. Trump?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The man's on his way to China right now for us,
and as you're senior senator for twenty four years, I
feel like now is a time to honor that man.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
As our president.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
With a road nothing to make me happy to be
driving along and see it on the screen. Oh yes,
it's the most amazing thing. We'll rename it forty five
forty seven, not eighty six forty seven like that awful Jim,
call me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We'll do it for Donald J.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Trump. You joining with me? I think I will. While
I'm in it. I'd like you to have six more
years to pander to me right before the election.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I trust you. I'm just dumb enough.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
To believe it, because you're going to get a lot
of voters who are not going to be steeped in
what's happened, and they're going to see on the small
town news one US senator is seeking to name a
highway for our president. That's right, Senator John Cornyn has
(22:46):
introduced to Bill. Some of them might be sitting at
home and think about, damn time we got stuff named
for Lyndon Johnson FDR at least named something for for Trump.
But John Cornyn is the same man who said as
(23:09):
of this election that put this president in He's only
been in a little over a year. As of this election,
he said the party should move on, the country should
move on from Donald Trump. He's not the future. He
doesn't have a chance to win. He needs to get
(23:30):
out of politics. John Cornyn did not want him to
be president. That's what he said in public. What do
you think he said behind the scenes? What do you
think he and Rove have plotted and schemed and connived
as they backstabbed him. When he has refused, as a
(23:52):
supposed leader in the Senate to get the Save Act
so we could have legitimate elections. People ask me all
the time, wouldn't the Republicans want legitimate elections? This is
painful to hear, frustrating, and seemingly counterintuitive. But if you're
John Cornyn, the system is working just fine for you.
(24:13):
You don't want to make changes. You don't want to
upset the Democrats. You have entanglements, you have deals you
cut with the Democrats and deals they've cut with you.
This is like bad rastling, not the good stuff. Somebody's
got to be the heel. I'll be your heel, and
the Democrat primary you'd be minor Republican primary. What did
(24:35):
Jasmine Crockett say if she won as senator, the one
Senator she could get along with was John Cornyn because
he'd work with her. I don't care what the issue is.
If you're working with Jasmine Crockett, you're not representing me.
That's for certain. There's nothing you could find common ground
(24:57):
with Jasmine Crockett on And how is it that you've
been cutting deals behind the behind the scenes. Now you're
gonna hear people say, I know, oh, I like passion,
I don't like Corny, but we got to elect him.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
We won't win in November. That's what Carl Rove says.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
That's exactly what he said about Trump in sixteen, twenty
and twenty four. I know you want Trump, but here
you need to be from our guy over here because
Trump can't win in November.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
John Cornyn, Now, I want you to believe that it's
him and Trump against the world. He's got Trump's back, Yeah,
while he's stabbing it brutus. You don't think that Donald
Trump would have endorsed the sitting senator.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
For re election if he was his ally.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Trump endorsed name it oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
Os didn't even really live in Pennsylvania. I don't think
there was ever much of a chance he was going
to win anyway in a state that we needed to win,
a purple state, with the real opportunity. He went against
(26:31):
the base. He's not afraid to take an unpopular position
for a friend. He supported herschel Walker in Georgia. He
will wade into the battle.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And endorse.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You don't think it's odd why he's not endorsing Cornyon.
Really only two people he didn't endorse that he was
expected to in the country, the sitting congressman from Congressional
District to Dan Crenshaw. That was a statement in and
of itself. Everybody saw the statement and John Cornyan. So
(27:14):
Cornyn's record, here's a montage of some of the things
he said.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Strong words from you A Senator John Cordon out of Texas,
the Republican says former President Donald Trump can't win the
twenty twenty four general election for President Cornyon saying, I
think President Trump's time is passing by.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Are you saying don't vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 10 (27:32):
You know it's too important to.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Gamble. I do think it's very important that we have
a candidate who can win in twenty twenty four, and
I'm not sure President Trump is that candidate.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You've said that. Do you think it's time for the
Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
To mot rewind that for a few seconds. This is
what the establishment has done for as long as I
have followed politics. When there is an establishment candidate who
sells you out, who won't get the wall built, who
won't stand up to Obama, who won't kill Obamacare, who
(28:09):
won't provide secure elections because they're selling out. His daughter's
a lobbyist. She went from not having a single lobbying
job to being hired by a lobbying firm out of
Austin that then opens a shop in DC and in
their materials say what we got John Cornyn's daughter.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You know what that is?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That is everything wrong with politics. Daddy got them lobbying contracts.
We must presume they didn't pay her for being smart.
They didn't pay her for her experience. She may be smart,
I don't know, but they didn't pay her for experience,
and in that business experience in relationships. How does she
(28:57):
have those relationships? Because daddy's been in the Senate law
and she's been alive practically. So you're gonna hear Cornyn
say we don't want Trump in twenty four. M M,
he can't win. Why do they do this? Because they
can't argue that Trump won't do what you wanted him
(29:20):
to do. You voted for him in sixteen, you voted
for him in twenty and you're gonna vote for him
in twenty four. But he says, yeah, but he can't win.
He can't beat the Democrats. That's exactly what the same consultant,
Karl Rove is saying about Ken Pax. Oh, we know
you want Paxton, We know you don't want Cornyan, but
(29:42):
Paxton can't win.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I think President Trump's time is passing by.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Are you saying, don't vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 10 (29:48):
You know it's too important to gamble.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
I do think it's very important that we have a
candidate who can win in twenty twenty four. And I'm
not sure our President Trump is that.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Candidate you've said that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Do you think it's time for the Republican Party to
move on from President Trump?
Speaker 10 (30:05):
You know, in politics, unless you could win an election,
you're pretty much irrelevant.
Speaker 11 (30:10):
In a senator didn't say who he intends to support,
but again double down on who he believes the Republican
Party should not nominate, and that is former President Donald Trump.
Cornon told Fox twenty six he won't be supporting former
President Trump, and neither should other Republicans.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
All right there, he won't be supporting Trump votes. We're
not tumbaut ten years ago. We're talking about in the
election that made Trump your president. Right now, Cornyan went
on the record, I will not be supporting him. I'm
(30:49):
asking you not to support him. And he thinks we
are so stupid, or Karl Rove does that we are
so stupid that right before the election he can dye
his hair orange, maybe go play golf at mar A
Lago and say, I just really want this highway name
(31:11):
for Trump, the guy you didn't want to be our nominee,
the guy who's president in defiance of what you try
to get people to do. Now you're so madly in
love with him, all right, keep going.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
He won't be supporting former President Trump, and neither should
Other Republicans want to ask.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You about the indictment and the charges against former President Trump.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Unfortunately, he's created the circumstance for himself.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Texas Senator John Cordin says a wall is not the
answer to securing our border.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Reported the other day saying you're not for a wall
and the people of Texas are not for a wall.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
What gives you that impression?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
A wall?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I have to tell you, Juncker is not going to
stop your legal limit.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Gradall is an immorality. What we need is a virtual border.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
Food giant wall from sea to shining sea makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What's the weather? The walls do not make us safer.
I have a problem with the wall period.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
The idea of a wall is somewhat off putting to
a lot of people.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
You are in favor of something called a virtual border.
I mean, do you see when people hear that, they go.
Speaker 10 (32:19):
Huh, yeah, it needs some explanation.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
John Corner has decided to take guns from a lawful
gun owner.
Speaker 12 (32:26):
The rights granted by the Second Amendment are not unlimited, becausedent.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
Biden said do something. I've found that if you want
to get something done in Congress, working with the Democrat
is a pretty good idea.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
As a matter of fact, is the only way.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
I am proud that for the first time in thirty
years we passed some gun violence prevention Center of Horn
help lead in the Senate.
Speaker 12 (32:45):
Also want to thank you by products and group of
senators who work so hard to get this done, especially
Senators Murphy Cinema Horning. Hopefully I'll get you in trouble
with Matchine their name.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
So the backbone is Cyning called the red flag wall.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
A red flag wall would allow.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
The government to tampascate you were firearms without even charging
him crime.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Much less convicting you.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Of who the.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
League is John Cornyn. And the amazing thing about John
Cornyon is he admits he doesn't care about gun crimes
him by actual criminals. Consider John Kennedy Ash Horney during
one launch quote, are we focused on gang violence and
interceding murders? And there's once as no, we're not focusing
on that. John Corner has decided to take guns from
lawful gun owners. That if there's one reason you vote Republican,
(33:28):
it's prevent.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
That so.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Now, so now Cornyan who's worked against Trump and never
done what we wanted in twenty four years, And what
do they say, Well, well, Kim Paxton, he went through
a divorce. Uh, he was with another woman, So is Trump.
Go back and look at the Trump marriage with Evonna,
Go back and look at Martin Maples. I'm not trying
to criticize Trump. I'm trying to tell you they focus
(33:56):
on stuff that doesn't affect your life. You can't trust
these guys because of women. I can't trust Cornin because
of what he does.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
The gentleman Ellis.
Speaker 7 (34:08):
Has left the building.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Thank you, and goodnight,
