Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
The sun may have set over our city this evening,
but as Eugene Debs once said, I can see the
dawn of a better day for humanity. I am young,
despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I am a.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Democratic Socialist, and most damning of all, I refuse to
apologize for any of this.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we
have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.
There are also other issues.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS or whether
it's the end goal of of VIZA production.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I am a democratic socialist. I also wouldn't be the
first Democratic Socialist mayor. We've had a number, and we've
even had a mayor who is a member of the
Democratic Socialist of America.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's David Dinkins. Yeah, I wouldn't tell that just a
few decades ago. I'd maybe keep that to myself as me.
How can this interact that reminds me of the old
Rodney Carrington Joe remember the Baptist Revival? Hey there, Mum doney,
if you're trying to say, hey, don't worry about me
(01:34):
being a communist. We had a socialist mayor. He was
a member of the party, David Dinkins. Yeah, uh, there's
nobody thinking, well, that gives me comfort. I think I
wouldn't have said that, commy. I think I might have
left that one out. I know you're trying to put
(01:55):
people at ease, but I yeah, Rodney Carrington had a
good bid on that. As a preacher, he always wants
to point you out. Doney, we got some new people
here today with us. We ain't know it was there
last year. Get on with it. Why don't they you
just throw this fudd lights out and put a spotlight
on you, make you dance for fifteen minutes? Where are
(02:16):
the new people? What are the Sunning family? That's what
we are. Well, we went to a babist survival. If
you ain't never been to one of those, and you.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Get the opportunity jump off of twelfth, make sure.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
There's rocks at the bottom, because you don't want to
live through that. That's where they try to make you
feel like everything you've ever done in your whole life.
Can they do a good job of it. I'm sitting
on the back road of this churchis minding my own business.
Coloring preacher come out, holler and screaming. You don't get
up and jump forward today. God's the way. You devil's
(02:55):
got chang drop my pray on what he say said,
you don't get up, and Tim Bowler got s through it.
You devil's got changed. You back your color. And I
see you ain't funny. I got up crying. I walked
all the way up there. Come in drinking preacher.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
He said, you tell it, brother, I've been cussing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
He said, you tell it again. I said, you go.
He said, oh, good Lord, he said, I don't think
I'd have told that. They's some things, ain't a lord.
Don't let it know about it. So New York has
elected a socialist Muslim as it's mayor, and he thanked
(03:38):
everyone who voted for him. Kind of interesting, kind of interesting.
The groups he left out, like the people who've lived
in New York for any period of time and might
be white. Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics
of our city.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Who made this movement their own.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese
taxi drivers and who's beck nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and
Ethiopian aunties, Yes, aunties.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You know it is true. I've spent a lot of
time in immigrant communities, and I know you know this,
but let me simplify this. There are a lot of
people who come to this country who are not white,
(04:54):
and they speak with what I would consider a funny accent.
In fact, it's something we joke about and kid about,
and many of them never really feel like they fit in,
especially if they're Muslim. They don't celebrate Christmas when everyone
(05:16):
else does. Somehow Jews get by. But be that as
it may. No one really even knows when it's Ramadan.
What he knows, it's e it's their big celebration. People
in Houston really found out about all of this when
a chem olajuwon was our star center and he wouldn't
(05:40):
eat or drink water, and people were going crazy because
for almost a month his numbers would drop. But he
was about and he was determined every year it would happen.
So you've got these people who feel left out. Now,
hold on, it's not about you. I didn't do anything.
(06:02):
Model it ain't my fault. No, it's not. And just
as he's not apologetic that he's Muslim and socialist, nor
should you apologize for the fact that a lot of
people have felt left out who come here. The question
is what do we do about it? Because these people,
(06:26):
it is very seductive for these people that somehow, all
of a sudden, they're insecurity, their funny way of talking,
they're different cultural traits, their awkwardness in crowds or filling
out documents or with things that they've never done before,
(06:49):
the feeling of belonging. Kami Mandani's policies are not going
to change their lives for the better. In fact, the opposite.
They're going to remind them of the countries they left,
where a corrupt, self dealing government killed industry and made
(07:12):
it impossible to work and make any money, and accumulated
and made the streets unsafe. But for now they see
a guy who is mentioning the country, therefrom and the
job they do. And these people bless their hearts, and
this is true. They think he cares about them, and
(07:34):
that makes them feel good. It's nice to be complimented,
but before you can even be complimented, you have to
be seen, and you hear that word a lot. You
have to feel like you exist. And that's what he's doing.
And that's what makes these large immigrant populations in these
(07:55):
large cities. It's so dangerous, Michael, because they're voting against
their own best interests. So what do we make whether
we two make to what we saw last night? Let's
consider the context, shall we. That's an off year contest.
(08:15):
It's not even a midterm. It's an off year contest
held amid a prolonged government shutdown. The government shutdown matters
more to urban dwellers than rural dwellers, not surprising. The
(08:36):
more likely to work for the government, they're more likely
to live off the government. So you're going to hear
that this was a referendum on President Trump's second term.
Not true. We'll get to that. You had key races
in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, That's where all
(09:02):
the attention was. Turnout was not high, but it could
have been lower. I would call it moderate. You had
early voting that was strong in Virginia. I went back
and checked because I thought Trump had won Virginia, and
(09:22):
he did not. Kamala Harris won it by six percentage points.
It tells you a lot. So analysts are describing what
happened as they used the word thermostatic backlash against Republicans,
which is the party in power, which is typical Democrats.
(09:47):
Their claiming gained a momentum for twenty twenty six mid terms.
They'll claim it. I don't think they necessarily have it.
I think what you saw was painful. Reality is that
without Trump running, the Republican Party is not fielding candidates
(10:11):
who can win. The Republican Party does not have a
good infrastructure, and unlike the Democrats, the Republican Party does
not have any force to recruit and promote its candidates.
(10:32):
Trump is a one off, and when Trump is gone,
I fear you will see the gains we've made evaporate.
Let's not forget who our Republican Party candidates have been,
going back to nineteen ninety two. George HW Bush, a
(10:59):
former CIA director, a wealthy psion of a US senator,
a guy with no charisma, an absolute insider who headed
the party. Clinton beat him nineteen ninety six, the Senate
(11:22):
Majority leader, a guy that's been cutting deals for decades.
Gingrich called him the tax collector for the welfare state
Bob Dole. Bob Dole did not represent America's hopes and dreams.
Two thousand George hw Bush's son, handpicked by the establishment
(11:48):
that brought you. George hw Bush worried that he won't
be able to govern. We'll put Dick Cheney in there.
We know we can trust him. He's the former chief
of staff to President's Cabinet, secretary and chairman and CEO
(12:08):
of Halliburton, a reliable warmonger. Re election two thousand and four,
two thousand and eight. John McCain. John McCain's entire resume
was war veteran. Then he came home, joined the United
(12:31):
States Senate and proceeded to cut deals like Nan Crenshaw,
John Cornn or Mitch McConnell, absolutely selling us out. This
was a man who was part of the Keeping Five,
remember those remember that scandal. This was an open borders
(12:51):
establishment Republican who left Arizona and never came back. His
role was to be the Washington generals to Barack Obama's
Harlem globetrotters. Twenty twelve, Mitt Romney would win between fifteen
(13:13):
and twenty eight percent of any given States Republican primary voters.
But he just kept chugging along with the establishment behind him,
and he became our nominee. The former governor of Massachusetts,
mister sellout, you learned a lot about who he was.
(13:35):
When Trump was elected. Romneycare preceded Obamacare. Romney's top people
were secretly coming in and out of the White House
to help the Obama administration draft Obamacare because they'd done
(13:55):
it in Massachusetts first, the single most unpopular thing Obama
had done. Romney had done in Massachusetts. There's your Republican
Party again, twenty sixteen, Jeb Bush with an esclamation. Don't
forget to clap. He's your nominee because we need yet
(14:17):
another Bush, because between the Bushes and Clinton's, we've had
him on almost every ballot now for twenty five years.
Jeb Bush, there's your choice. But it didn't happen. Trump
was an outlier. People saw something. Trump wins with a
(14:42):
unique moment in the American electorate's mind and a candidate
the likes of which we've never seen before and I
don't think we'll ever see again, not with that skill set.
Trump gets elected. They steal it from him in twenty twenty.
In twenty twenty four he comes back despite the fact
(15:03):
that they tried to put him in prison, and worse,
there has not been a Republican on the national scene
since the twenty sixteen election that anyone is looking at
and saying, that's a leader for our party. Well, jd
Vance Michael, that's just because Donald Trump blessed him. That's
(15:29):
not coach tails Bearishaw. There's a fellow named jeff yass
me ass I don't know who he is, but he
has contributed one hundred million dollars to the University of Austin.
(15:51):
That's not the Texas Longhorns that have Arch Manning as
their quarterback and Steve Sarkisian as their coach, who will
be playing the Georgia Bulldog, Arkansas Razorbacks and last game
of the regular season Texas A and m Aggies in
what is one of the great rivalries in all of sports.
(16:15):
He gave one hundred million dollars which will make tuition
at that new unique school absolutely free to those lucky
enough to be chosen to go there. They don't. You
don't get an essay, so there's no opportunity to drop
names or whatever else. You're judged solely by your test
(16:40):
score and your grades. It's apparently quite competitive, and it's
an old school what used to be called a liberal
arts college. That's a small l liberal arts as in
philosophy and logic and political science and the like. And
(17:06):
from everything I've seen, it's absolutely fascinating. I've tried to
reach out to the new president. I've tried to reach
out to people associated. I don't know if they're busy
or I don't know if they don't do media. I
don't know what it is, but I would like them
to come on the air and tell the story of
the university. I have a son who goes to school
in Austin. He goes to the University of Texas, historic,
(17:28):
very proud university in Texas, in the same town. But
this University of Austin is a great story. I mentioned
this because what I'm watching is people are realizing these
are dangerous times. The people threatening this country, the people
(17:51):
who are the trojan horses threatening this country, who are
funded by Sorows and other people like him, are very good.
They're well funded, they're organized, and what they're doing is
they're building networks. You had Ilhan Omar who almost got
(18:12):
her Somali guy in at in Minneapolis, you had AOC
and Bernie Sanders campaigning almost daily for Kami Mamdani. Now,
your reaction, I know is I'd vote against him if
she was voting for him. You're not the voter. You
(18:36):
have to understand that when we're talking about an area,
we're talking about the people who live there, and there
are people there who wouldn't have paid attention but will
because AOC is showing up. That's true. And there are older,
some of them Jewish, white voters living there who you know,
(19:00):
could be any character in a Woody Allen movie, just
older and shuffling. Now, and when Bernie Sanders says he'll
be fine, don't worry, old Jewish lady. He's not going
to harm us, not going to harm the Jews. He's
a good guy. That's just the Republican's trying to scare you.
(19:25):
And in fact, you had some folks who were coming
out as Jews for Mom Donnie. When there are open,
very direct threats not just to fellow citizens, but to
Jews specifically. The word anti Semitism is a euphemism and
it's not entirely accurate when you think of who the
(19:46):
Semites are, but another day it's Jew hating. It's simple,
direct Jew hating. And whether you come down on the
Tucker Carlson or Cande Owen's side, or the Douglas Murray
or the Mark Levin, wherever you are in all of that,
(20:07):
surely everyone agrees we don't want people getting elected who
were calling for the heads of Jews or Catholics or
anyone else. But it's happening. What Mamdani's election represents, and
this is important to understand, is that the Democrat Party
(20:29):
is figuring out who and what it is. When Bill
Clinton was elected in nineteen ninety two, he took the
party back to the middle. Ducacas had moved it to
the left. What Bill Clinton was trying to do, and
he did effectively do, was put a better face on
(20:52):
the Democrat Party. He was a Southerner from Arkansas. He
was talking about work, not welfare, and he had a moment.
For those of you who were around at this time,
he had a moment known as his Sister Soldia moment.
And I went back and looked so that I could
(21:13):
get the quote exactly right. Bill Clinton's a nominee. It's
the summer about He's about to be the nominee. I
don't think he's officially nominee yet. It's in May of
nineteen ninety two, and he's had some scandals come out,
but he's he's called himself the comeback kid. He didn't
do well in Ohio in Iowa, has a better showing
(21:34):
in New Hampshire. But he's getting stronger and stronger, and
he's developing a national following. And there was there were
the nineteen ninety two Los Angeles riots and Sister Soldier,
this singer. They asked did they think that was wise
perpetrating that violence? Was that a wise reasoned action? And
(21:57):
she said, yeah, it was wise. I meany black people
kill black people every day, why not have a week
and kill white people? And that was unsettling. That is
a fringe position in nineteen ninety two. Now it's mainstream
in the Democrat Party, but at that time it was fringe.
And Bill Clinton came out and repudiated that, I mean,
(22:19):
took her to task. And that was his moment where
he was telling Middle America, I'm not one of those
far left nuts. I'm reasonable. And I think that won
in the election as much as anything. I think that
won in the election. Well, the Democrat Party since Clinton
left in two thousand has veered to the left and
(22:43):
the takeover by Barack Obama. And what you're seeing now
is they've got support structure from people who are not white,
who are rallying in a dog whistle way against white people.
This is color power, this is immigrant power, this is
non Christian power. This's is socialism power. And they're they're
(23:07):
building these networks, They've got funding, they've got organization. These
these are folks who now can get somebody over the
finish line. I had a listener told me this morning,
we'll just let New York burn, let it, let them
see how bad it is, and then then they'll have
(23:28):
to fix it. That's not how the cycle works. If
you look at Detroit or Baltimore, they don't fix it.
You lose them for good. And they're part of our country.
And it's not that's not just a feel good thing.
They have assets, but they they as part of a nation.
(23:49):
If some group breaks down, you're going to feel it.
It's not that you're only as good as your weak
as link up having an effect on the very showcative
messaging of socialism for young people it's hard to overcome.
When I was in eighth grade, I had a coach.
(24:10):
We had a teacher who was a coach named Lauren Rice,
and they sent the girls down to Ms Ryan, who
was our counselor, and Coach Rice kept the boys back
and he gave us the speech. My friend Jimmy Pappus
(24:32):
does this speech for the Young Life Christian group and
sounds to me based on what he's told me, it's
very similar to this speech. And I'm going to be
graphic for a moment because men will understand this, so
forgive me. But Coach Rice was talking to us about
becoming men. And in those days, we didn't have social media,
(24:56):
so you didn't have to worry about a lot of
what you have to worry about. You didn't get arrested
for acting stupid. They just bring you home and hand
it to your parents because they knew. You did end
up with a criminal record in eighth grade because you
had cops at the school. It's so crazy now, it's
so ridiculous, so over the top, the inability. You can't
(25:17):
spank a kid, so you bring in cops and you
end up arresting kids. It's the stupidest thing ever, which
one you think is going to harm the kid's life more,
But whatever. So Coach Rice gave us this speech. And
I didn't like Coach Rice at the time, but that
had nothing to do with the speech. And he told us,
(25:39):
I'll try to keep this PG. But he told us
that as young men, if it hadn't happened already, it
was going to happen very soon in our lives, that
we were going to grow hair on our body, and
that we were going to have urgings, and that those
urgings were not godly shall we say, as most of
(26:00):
us were Southern Baptists, and that those urgings were not love.
They might look like love. They might they might. You know,
an alcoholic wants a drunk, I mean a wants an
alcohol and they'll talk into a con man with any addict.
(26:21):
We're talking, well, a young man would do most anything
to get a girl to give in. And he was
talking about how strong these urgings would get, and I'll
leave it to your imagination, but he made reference to
a hole in a tree, and we all giggled because
(26:44):
we're in eighth grade, were uncomfortable, and damned if he
wasn't right, your urgings ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth grade. They
were so overpowering for a young man. I mean, you're
like a wild animal. And if you think I'm crazy, ladies,
(27:09):
if your husband is honest with you, that's the way
it was. Every species has as its primary function the
continuation of the species it is planted. In us, we
don't choose it. Well, our minds and bodies and hormones
(27:32):
are raging for the act that creates reproduction, but they
don't want us to reproduce because we're not ready yet. Well,
this is also complicated. The seduction of a girl beginning
in those high school years is so overwhelming that guys
(27:58):
right now, if they're not in the presence of their
wife or smiling and thinking of Tina Wilson or Christi
dal Leone or Lee huff Power Ortlanta Leek or whoever
that girl was at your school that you had it
for and you did really stupid things for. We had
(28:19):
a story the other day a guy his girlfriend, he
was a DEPS trooper in Texas, and his girlfriend's nurse
and she dumped him and he couldn't get her back,
so he shot himself in the leg, pretending to have
been wounded in the line of duty to win back
her sympathy. He got caught and he's going to prison
for the lie. But the point was, you know, we
(28:48):
crass men who talk in ways that women would be
shocked by when we were amongst ourselves, mostly just like
dogs at the dog park being stupid. There is a
phrase that men will use that shall we say the
(29:10):
attractiveness of women? I'll use that phrase, The attractiveness of
women is undefeated, by which we mean, you know, when
one of our sons is, you know, going crazy. You know,
he's supposed to have dinner with the family, but he's
supposed to go on vacation, but he cut out. He's
(29:32):
not going to do it, and we will say the
attractiveness of ladies. I'll leave it at that is undefeated
throughout history. And when a boy is in it, you've
lost them for a period of time. It is overwhelming. Well,
that seductiveness is what socialism represents to some people. And
(29:58):
you know where a lot of them are getting that
the university. The university. I pulled a number today which
best describes your education. Thirty nine percent never attended college,
forty seven percent. This was Mumdani's numbers. Mumdani won young
(30:25):
college graduates by a landslide, and ethnic voters and immigrant voters.
People who did not attend college did not vote for him.
Why do you think that is? People who attended college
(30:46):
for some period of time and left did not vote
for him. But the more quote unquote education you got,
the more likely you were to vote for this communist.
Our schools and universities are not educational development institutions any longer.
(31:09):
Most of them have become indoctrination camps. If we don't
change this, we cannot save our country. If we don't
change this, we cannot save our country. We're more worried
about how much the kids are getting paid to run
up and down the field on the weekend. That is
(31:31):
the only association most people have with our universities. I
put on my burnt orange and go to DKR and
root for the long ORNs. But nobody knows what's going
on in the classes, and it's going on across the country.
I have parents emailing me every day what their kids
(31:52):
are witnessing in the classrooms. Well, first of all, nobody's
going to class anymore. They're all doing it by zoom,
all the teachers, it's all thas. Anyway, let's talk about
this week.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Hey, goods element as, Nice luck God, then thank you
and good night,
