Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time. Time, time, luck and load. The Michael
Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Earlier today, I received a breaking news.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Alert that Robert F.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Kennedy Junior's running mate, Nicole Shanahan, says the Kennedy campaign
is considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump.
The comments came during a podcast appearance on tom Bill
Hughes's Impact Theory. Shanahan said, there are currently two options.
(00:57):
Number one, staying in and forming that new party, but
we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walt's
presidency because we draw votes away from Trump. Or number two,
we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is again, Nicole Shanahan, Robert F.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Kennedy Junior's running mate, and I believe this was earlier today.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm not certain on that, but I believe this was
earlier today.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
My gut tells me right now is that we just
have to keep being honest. I got to just keep
being honest. I got to keep focusing on what matters
the most outside of party lines. I need to focus
on a vision that goes beyond November. And if that
(01:53):
means that we stay in and you know, there's benefits
to staying, and if we get over five percent of
the vote, we actually establish our ourselves as a party.
Seventy one percent of Americans want a strong third party
with a real shot at winning.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
There's even public.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Funds available if we get over five percent of the vote,
so we could get I think it's like thirteen and
a half million dollars in public funds to keep the
party going. And that's you know, that's worth something. That
means that we can position for a real third party
(02:35):
election in twenty twenty eight where we don't have to
go around and spend tens of millions of dollars on
ballot access, which means that we can spend all of
that time and money campaigning. So, you know, there's two
options that we're looking at, and one is staying in
(02:58):
forming that new party. But we run the risk of
a Kamala Harris, Kamala Harrison and Walt's presidency because we
draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes
from Trump, or we walk away right now and join
forces with Donald Trump. And and you know, we walk
(03:22):
away from that, and we explain to our base why
we're making this decision.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Not easy clearly. Yeah, So.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Who are the voters that if they move upon the
RFK junior endorsement to Trump, And that's not a certainty,
But who are.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Those voters there?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Many of them are young, You're very idealistic, and they
are disappointed and frustrated by politics generally and politicians specifically.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
There are people who look at Joe.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Biden and you don't have to hate Joe Biden to
come to this conclusion. You don't have to be a
Republican to come to this conclusion that man should not
be running anything, not the local car dealership, not the church,
certainly not the United States government, whether we like it
(04:36):
or not.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The entire world depends on us. We are the force for.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Good that keeps everyone in the world within reason, safe
and secure.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Everything pivots off of what we do.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The collapse of the United States would have a devastating
effect on the stability.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Of the world.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
This goes back to the eighteen twelve conference of Castlereagh
and Metternich and the understanding that yes, we must have our.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Empire, but it falls to us.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And whether you believe it or not, sort of a
divine dictate to keep the world safe. And there are
a lot of people who really understand things are wrong.
There's some really bad things going on. But those people
(05:46):
may not gravitate to Trump. They may see themselves as,
for whatever reason, not wanting to be in the Trump campaign,
not wanting to be with the Republicans, not like some
of them are small l libertarians. Today's Ron Paul's birthday,
(06:07):
for instance. There are people who were Ron Paul supporters
and still are out there who are not particularly political,
but they're very thoughtful, and they say, huh, they're jiggering
with monetary policy and creating inflation and then trying to
(06:31):
deflate this balloon, and our lives are being affected negatively
from it. They're plunging us into wars where we don't
need to be and you're watching real people bleed and
die in real mothers touching the flag of their son
coming back from war.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And it's very frustrating for people.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And they see the Republican Party of George W. Bush
and his father, and they say that party plunged us
into war.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Biden would love to get us in a war.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
These people and their global and so they can't see
Trump being able to extricate himself from that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And so they look for something new.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
RFK Junior's number when you call the cross tabs, when
you go down the crosstabs and you start looking. One
of the areas where he built a very strong support
base was questioning what is not a vaccine but was
called a vaccine, and questioning COVID policy. I think Trump
(07:44):
would be very wise to say I.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Did the best I could do.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
In the moment to try to save our country from
a once in our lifetime virus that was visited on
this shore by the Chinese using money that Fauci gave them.
I trusted people I believed I could trust, and they
wronged me and mistakes were made.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But you know that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I wish it would because we could bring a lot
of Libertarians over. I just want to win. I'll argue
with you. You can be mad at me. We both
want to win. We want to win with the same candidate.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
For RFK.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And then you've got a lot of older Democrats who
feel like the Democrats, who feel like the Democrat Party
has moved away from them. They see a Democrat Party
of AOC and ilhan Omar and Kamala Harris and Barack
Obama and for that matter, Hillary Clinton, and RFK looks
to them more aspirational. This would be if he drops
(08:49):
out and can bring his people over in campaign with Trump.
This could it's because it's if you're trauming a very
small margin here, this could be big. Let's play some
Kamal eclipse and try to figure out if she's drunk
or not drunk. And some people may say, Michael, stop
(09:12):
focusing on that. Just talk about the issues. You do
you and I'll do me. But in this case, I'll
explain something to you because I've been around a few
more campaigns than you have. Number one, I spend a
whole lot more time studying polls, cultural behaviors than you do.
(09:35):
But you go off and do what you're so good at,
explaining how to win this election to people.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And I'll do my part.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
But in this case, I will take a moment to
explain something to you because it's important. There are a
lot of people whose lives have been devastated by alcohol abuse.
There are children who were raised by an abusive father
(10:04):
who drank too much and made terrible decisions. Either he
beat their mother, sometimes he beat them, sometimes he left.
And alcoholism is something they identify with in a very
negative way, the abuse of alcohol. Some people far fewer
(10:29):
had an alcoholic mother, and they have a memory of
a mother who was either emotionally unavailable, sometimes physically unavailable,
often hospitalized because of alcohol abuse. There are people who
(10:50):
have had a boss who was a normal boss twelve
days in a row and on the thirteenth day went
for a three martini lunch and came back and started
screaming and screeching. And women as much as men. There
are men who've come home to a wife who's passed
out or worse, who's accusing them of every infidelity and
(11:16):
every horrible thing because she's drunk and her mind's going
crazy and she wants to fight. There are women who
will have a husband come home to them, or they
come home late the lady from working a project or
travel or their shift, and a drunk husband wants to
smack them around. There are people who's next door neighbor
(11:38):
is a drunk and they start noticing the knocking sounds
and the loud talking alcohol abuse. Alcohol is the most
abused drug in America, and it's not even close. They
want you to focus on heroin and fentanyl and cocaine.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The number of people who get themselves arrested or killed
due to alcohol, I bet you it's twenty five times
as much. I hadn't looked at the numbers, but I
bet you it is. My brother, who was a longtime
police officer, said that if he was king and all
(12:21):
he wanted was the people not to cause problems, he
would take away alcohol and give them marijuana, because at
least the stoners stay home on their couch, But the drunks, oh,
they want to get behind the wheel. They want to
drive one hundred miles an hour. That's what Tim Walls did.
A DWI at ninety six miles an hour could have
(12:44):
killed someone else, more himself. The fact that she abuses
alcohol as a pattern, which it appears she does of
many years. If she does it in public, she almost
certainly does it in private. Impaired decision making in a
(13:10):
president should be frightening. If your team had the first
draft in the NFL draft this year, and you were
looking at a guy and it was known they were
a raging alcoholic, that would be relevant to whether that
person was chosen or not.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
And it's relevant in her case. So we'll play the clip.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This one is from the twenty twenty Democrat primary. She
compares Joe Biden to that little man on the Wizard
of Oz.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Vice President have a point there. Some things you can
many things you can. Let's let the senator answer.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, I mean I would just say, hey, Joe, it's
said as saying though we can't, let's say yes we can.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Must be contecasional, yes we can.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Because he reminds me of that that guy in the
Wizard of Oz. You know, when you pull back the curtain,
it's a really small dude.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Okay, I'm not even gonna take the bate.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Senator said, I'm going to take this to send. Take
this to senators right now, your decision. Drunk or not drunk.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
This next one was at a rally a couple of
weeks ago. She cackles as she calls Joe Biden extraordinary.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Our extraordinary President Joe Biden, and he's gonna speak in
a minute.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But there's a lot of love in this room for
our president.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Okay, ramon or not drunk?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I think that answers that. This next one is from
December of twenty twenty one. She's on a zoom call
with a talk show host who goes by the name
Charlemagne the God. This is a nationally syndicated urban morning
show called The Breakfast Club, and he's the star of it.
(15:26):
This is the show where Joe Biden famously said if
you ain't black, if you don't vote for me, you
ain't black. During this interview, her handler breaks in and
pretends there are technical issues, because her handler knows she's drunk,
or at least I think there are no technical issues.
(15:47):
You can hear it sounds fine. I've done remote broadcasts
all over the country sometimes I'm traveling and you have
no idea of it. I know what technical issues sound
like for the host, for the guest, and if you're
listening to the audio feed, there are no technical issues.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She breaks in.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And pretends there are, in my opinion, because she's drunk.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I want to know who's the real president of this country?
Is it?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Is it Joe Biden and Joe Manchin's.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
She can hear me? Can you hear me? Mad Vice President?
Like they can't hear you, I can hear you? So
who so? Who's the real president of his country? Is
the Joe Mansion of Joe Biden Madam Vice President Charlotte Man,
(16:42):
I really want it's Jo I can't.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Tell you no, no, no, no, it's Joe Biden. And
don't start talking like a Republican about asking whether or
not he's president, do you think? And it's Joe and
it's Joe Biden, and I'm Vice President. My name is
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Ramon drunk or not drunk?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
All right, she may be stalling here, but you'll need
to determine drunk or not drunk anyway, Kamala Harris explains hypothesis.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
There is this wonderful word that has a great meaning,
and it's called hypothesis, which means that you have an
idea and then it is well accepted, it will be tested,
and then you will learn whether it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Was correct or not. But there will be no.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Pride associated with the hypothesis, because after all, it was
a hypothesis. And then you will reconvene and then create
a new hypothesis.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Serious people understand that this.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Is a real problem, the fact that very powerful people
had the means by which to execute a coup on
the president to simply replace him with her. The same
group of people who put that man who now is
(18:13):
a minute or two from death, seemingly into the White House.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
This is frightening stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We can't have people vote for anybody other than Donald
Trump at this point.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Seriously, this is there's no room for anything else. Well,
something must be right. You're listening to Michael back.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
The nation waited with evaded breath. The big moment finally arrived.
Kamala Harris unveiled her economic plan. Before we get to
that ramon, this will be clip number six eleven. There
was some serious doubt as to whether the vice president
(18:53):
would unveil any policy agenda before the election. They would
just have her go into grocery store and keep handing
her dorito's and she.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Say, oh, you know, I love doritos. I'm just like
the peasants.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know, I have a weakness for those doritos. If
I didn't have a weakness for the doritos, I'd be
able to wear skirts and I wouldn't have to wear
these pants suits because I've got the fat hips. I'm
just like you, you know, just doing the best I
can and tempted by those dead burned doritos. But the
(19:29):
polling showed them that people know she's an emotional lightweight
and probably a constant rump. And after four years of
Joe Biden with her, they can't make up their mind either.
She wasn't involved at all, she didn't know what happened.
Elect her, and she'll fix everything on day one. She'll
fix all these problems you're living through. Or she's been
(19:51):
running everything all along. Stop insulting her. You're just saying
that because she's a lady.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Just pick one.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Whichever one you pick, we'll go with. You can't do both.
So she wasn't going you're gonna think I'm joking with
this next clip. She wasn't going to release any policy agendas.
She was just gonna get elected by you know, she's
just like you black people. Well she's black Indian people,
(20:16):
she's Indian poor people, she's poor, I mean all of it.
But then the polling showed them she had to release something.
So there was a Kamala Surgut who went on ABC
News and we've tried to find her name and they never.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Show it during the discussion and we don't recognize her.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
But she was described as a Kamala Surrogan and she
called Kamala Harris brave not for becoming a man for
releasing her economic plan. And do you know why she
was brave? Because she was brave to release her policy
because now it can be picked apart. People would do that.
(20:59):
They would questions about what you would do if you
were president based on what you said you would do
if you were president. You mean, people would question and go, well,
maybe that wouldn't work out well, And she knew they
would do that and she still did it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
That's brave, Ramon, who well, that's strong.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
In fact, I think Vice President Harris has been incredibly
brave to roll out an ambitious economic agenda because we
all know how this works. The more details you share,
the more your.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Policies are going to get picked apart.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
But she's saying, I trust the American people. I trust
to the journalists to explain these policies and our values
to folks, and I think when that happens, it will
be successful for Democrats. These are very pro worker, pro
middle class policies that people have been waiting for.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He said, she trusts the media to explain these policies
to the people. That's not what they're supposed to do.
See how that works well, as the country waited for
with baited breath, Kamala unveiled her economic plan. Jesse Waters
(22:07):
of Fox News called it the biggest mistake of her campaign.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I think this is a pretty good explanation.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Right before the Democrats big day, Kamala made the biggest
mistake of her campaign.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
She told us what her plans were.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Kamala wants to control the price of food.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I will work to pass the first ever federal man
on price gauging on food.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Pause price gauging. That's what they're doing, the price gauging.
I think she means gouging, or I think whoever wrote
that man gouging. But she doesn't know the difference between
price gauging and price gouging, nor frankly does she care,
but she has to pretend to care. This is like
(22:53):
when Lady got Iva when the people were suffering, and
she says to her husband, he must relieve the suffering
of their people. And he says, if you want me
to relieve the suffering of the people, you must strip
naked and ride through the town. How seriously do you
mean it? And she did. And that's why Freddie Mercury
(23:19):
makes the line he's he's streaking by like Lady Godiva. Yeah,
I remember the line. It's it's from Don't Stop Me Now,
give me a second. It's on tip of my tongue.
(23:40):
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger,
defying laws of gravity. I'm a racing car passing by
like Lady Godiva. I'm gonna go, go, go, some number
of goes. There's no stopping me. I'm not gonna sing
it no, because he would dishonor Freddie Mercury and his beautiful,
(24:02):
mellifluous voice, and I just that just wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I tell you. I follow a guy on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
His name is Adam Reader, and he's passionate about music
and he shares that passion. And I'm passionate about some
things music, literature, film, and I enjoy sharing that.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
With other people.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And sometimes people don't want to hear it. I understand.
But he has an episode on Don't Stop Me Now,
which is a song, and he kind of he talks
to them, or he takes you through Brian May and
Roger the whole band, and you know they're all they're
all married and kids, and you know Freddie is gay.
They don't care about that, but he is out doing
(24:46):
drugs and having having promiscuous, reckless sex, and the band
is very worried about him, and that song reflecting that
he is. He is signaling im you know, I'm streaking
across the sky. That's why they call me mister Fahrenheit.
This doesn't end well, and of course it didn't end well. Yeah,
(25:09):
So it's tragic. It's tragic to see somebody do that
to themselves. You're listening to the Michael Berry Show. Price
controls not the kind of thing people normally talk about,
because I will tell you that if I were to
say to you what you pay for milk last week,
(25:34):
and you gave me a number, I said, would you
like to pay fifty cents less a gallon for that?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yes, everybody would.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But the way you arrive at lower prices and or
higher wages for yourself is or not even wages or
higher income for yourself, is not because the government sets
a number. In fact, it's a naive way to go
about it, and it is how you end up with socialism.
(26:06):
It's how you end up with the collapse of an
economy and starvation and hoarding. Now not everybody understands that,
but that is what happens Jesse Waters had a very
very good segment on how price controls have never worked.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
The government setting food prices didn't work for Rome, the Soviets.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Nick Center Venezuela.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
But Kamala thinks she can just waiver magic wand and voila,
capitalism disappears. This was her campaign's first opportunity to show
us her economic vision, and it turns out she's blind
as a bat. We all waited a month to hear
what Kamala believed in, and she finally told us it's communism.
After Kamala said she was going to choose the price
(26:54):
of cheese, Bernie Sanders released a statement calling it a
very important step forward or backward. The princess doesn't understand
basic math. She thinks supply and demand means when she
demands something, the intern supplies it. Kamala's communism would have
come out in a primary, and for those Democrats watching,
(27:16):
a primary is when politicians compete with each other and
do interviews, take questions from voters, and tell us what
they believe in.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
But why bother with democracy?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
When coronating a mysterious princess makes it easier on the
Democrats and much easier for her Kamala can waiver magic
wand and build millions of new homes across America.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
By the end of my first term, we will end
America's housing shortage by building three million new homes and
rentals that are affordable for.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
The middle class.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
In addition, while we work on the housing shortage, my
administration will provide first time I'm home buyers with twenty
five thousand dollars to help rip the down.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Hold that thought on a new rewind fifteen seconds, play
that again.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Partage.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
My administration will provide first time home buyers with twenty
five thousand dollars to help rip the down payment on
a new home.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That is being criticized by some Democrat groups that that
is intended for illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Because the.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Past terminology has been first generation. Now it's first time.
So the question is which term is it and what
does it mean. There is a split of opinion on
the Democrat side. Some will say first generation home buyers
(29:04):
means illegal aliens. The splintering and the question will be
will this cause people to vote Republican or just to
stay home? Staying home is a half a vote for
a Republican. Voting Republican is a full vote for a Republican.
But if a consistent Democrat voter stays home, and this
(29:26):
is also true of Republicans. If a consistent Democrat voter
stays home because they say, I'm not voting Republican, but
I'm not giving the Democrats my vote this year. I
want them to know of my protest. That's a half
vote for a Republican. That's how we look at it.
If that person is a consistent voter, a person who
(29:48):
never votes. When you're putting together a campaign strategy, people
who never vote, they hadn't voted in the last ten elections,
they'll tell you, well, i'd vote if you gave me
a good canidate. That person's not a voter. Whether they
lean Democrat or they're not a voter. Non voters are
(30:09):
always non voters. There may be something that causes him
to vote. I personally witnessed non voters because I went
and checked their voting records.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Who voted for Trump in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's the only time in my lifetime I've seen anything
like it. And the reason was they were so disgusted
with politics, and here was a guy who, whether he
did what he said he was going to do or not.
They didn't need to wait and see. At least he
was tearing down the establishment in words. And then what happened.
(30:47):
He did what he said he would do. What people
didn't realize is the buzz saw he would walk into.
When he did that, they shot the man in the head.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
We now know.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That it was a local police who shot the assassin,
not the Secret Service.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
This is the.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Dirtiest, filthiest, at least with JFK. They took some efforts
to make it look like somebody other than the government
assassinated him. With Trump, I think they got so desperate
they tried to keep him off the ballot. Remember in Maine.
In Colorado they did. The Supreme Court said no, you
(31:30):
can't do that, okay, all right? Back to that. They
raided his home in Florida. Now the judge has thrown
that out.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
They brought the case against him in Florida.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
But Fat Fanny Willis was having an affair with Nathan's
hot dog.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
He was married.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
His wife came forward and said, uh uh, fat Fanny,
you can't have an affair with my husband. Will That
ruined that Jack Smith, he was going to be the star.
This is the guy that had defended the IRS when
they were keeping organized from registering as political entities in
twenty twelve nonprofits. So Jack Smith was going to solve
(32:07):
all the problems. Jack Smith's case fell apart, but fat
Alvin Bragg, fat Alvin Bragg, he managed to They put
the exact judge they wanted. They sent the assistant Attorney
general down. He just went to work for the local DA,
(32:28):
and he just happened to be working for the DA
when they happened to bring a case against Trump that
the predecessor, Cyrus Vance had said, no, there's no case there.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Hell, fat Alvin Bragg had said there was no case.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Two of his people, who were career Trump haters, resigned
over it. Wrote a book about the fact that fat
Alvin won't let us bring the case. We want to
destroy Trump. We hate Trump, we have nightmares of Trump.
We want to kill him. Then remember Leticia James, the
attorney general. She brought the case, the separate case, and
she wanted four hundred million. She was gonna start confiscating

his properties.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
None of that.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Worked, None of it. You didn't care. You don't think
always a convicted fellah hona worn. You know what they
did to him, so they said enough, we'll shoot and
kill him. And as only the government could do, they
botch that, killing Corey comparatory in the process and wounding
two others, and Trump is still standing.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I think what we know we have to do, man,

we know to vote for him
