Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, luck and loud. The Michael
Very Show is on the air. You know that JD.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Vance is doing a fantastic job engaging audiences across the
country because they're not covering it, They're ignoring it. They
are attempting to let the air out of that ball.
They're attempting to keep anyone from knowing what he's saying.
(00:59):
JD Van speaking at a campaign stop in Michigan recently
pointing out something about the Harris Waltz campaign that we've
been talking about. It's important. It's fake.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Now. I cannot get over my friends about everything about
her campaign is fake, a fake joy that comes from
being promoted to a new position instead of using the
position you already have to do your job and make
the lives of the sisons of this country better. It's
a fake ticket that never earned a single Democrat primary vote.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's a fake platform that offers.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
No specifics about how to do the people's businesses, and
a fake promise to change the government, even though she's
been in charge of that very government for almost four
years and hasn't done a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He's right, it's all fake. It's always been fake. We're
living through a bad movie. For four years, we've said
Joe Biden's brain, No, no, no's the cheap fakes. He's
not really falling down, he's not really stumbling. He's not
(02:08):
really falling down the staircase, not really falling over on
his on his bicycle, he's not really wandering around the stage.
Imagine you graduate from one of our service academies, West
Point Annapolis. You're so proud to serve this country, and
there's the president of the.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Wandering staggering.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. It is happening. And the
very people who told you know it's not then immediately decided, Oh,
he's got to go.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We got to put her in there. But wait, why
does he have to go? You said he was great.
No he's not. He's not great. He's not great. We
want him out. He's got to go. But you just
told us he was great. You just told us he
was great. Isn't he great?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I thought he was great. You just said he was great.
Here's what's important. Kamala Harris is radical and she is dangerous.
We cannot afford her, and we will not survive her.
It's important to point out that she is a very
(03:20):
important part of the mess we're living through right now.
Susan Rice was on MSNBC. She was a top Obama
advisor and she said, Kamala Harris has been an integral
architect and executor of the Biden Harris administration. So you
got to make up your mind left Either Kamala Harris
(03:44):
has been in charge for four years and that's how
you know she's ready to be president because she's really
been the decision maker anyway. She was the last person
left in the room at the Afghanistan withdrawal. She is
the decider. Okay, so she has experience and she's the girl.
Or don't blame her for anything. She's not the borders are.
(04:08):
It has to be one or the other. Either she's
making the decisions and she's ready to be president because
she's making all these decisions, or hey, don't blame her
for all these decisions. Don't blame her. Which one is it?
Clip number six O eight Ramon.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I think it's very important to remember that this has
been the Biden Harris agenda. Kamala Harris has been an
integral architect and executor of the policies of the Biden
Harris administration, and when you talk about the important business
that she is committed to continuing and finishing things like
(04:42):
paid family leads, making permanent the child tax credit, making
childcare more affordable, raising the minimum wage, respecting workers, and
helping to strengthen unions. These are elements of a policy
framework that she devised as part of a key part
(05:02):
of the Biden administration and is keen to see through
to the finish line. So there will be important, as
there should be, aspects of continuity in many policy areas.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But of course the.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Vice President will outline her vision and where she sees
opportunities to advance their collective agenda, the Biden Harris collective Agenda,
and we take it further forward.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think we all look.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Forward to hearing that. But this notion that she somehow
doesn't deserve credit for and isn't part of, and wasn't
an integral architect of the Biden Harris administration agenda is
not only false, it's frankly somewhat bizarre and offensive.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
See it's bizarre and offensive that you all don't think
that Kamala was involved in all these great decisions that
have left to a that have led to a wide
open border and hyperinflation. It's bizarre that y'all don't realize
how important, how integral she has been to the She's
(06:11):
been a major decision maker. Okay, well, every policy that
was made is the wrong one, and our country's worse
off for it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's not fair. She didn't have anything to do with it.
Nobody said she was the borderzar.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I was part of an email chain today and my
friend Paul Lambert sends an email that this woman says,
can you explain to me in crayon how it is
that inflation continues to go up And they declare that
inflation is lower it is. It's a sleight of hand
because what ends up happening is if a guy gained
(06:48):
fifteen pounds one year, and twelve pounds the next year,
and eleven pounds the next year, and the next year
he only adds eight pounds, they say, oh, he's losing weight.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're not losing weight. Jd.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Vance makes the point, and this is very important. They
can say inflation's down, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
The New York Times I wanted to ask you about
the latest economic news from this morning, with inflation now
being under three percent of the lowest rate since mid
twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
What is your sort of reaction.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
To that is, Well, I think the crowd reaction says
it all. Look when they say that inflation is down,
they mean from a baseline where groceries are already thirty
percent more expensive than they were when Donald Trump was president.
And they're not saying it's coming down, They're just saying
(07:38):
it's not going up as fast as it was three
years ago. That is not a reputation or a record
to brag on.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's a record to be ashamed of.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Why did it take them so long to get inflation
to where it is and why are price is so high?
It's because Kamala Harris failed to do her job. So
if they want to go around and this is you know,
it's funny. Kamala Harris. On the one hand, we'll say
on day one we're going to tackle the four ability crisis.
And like I said earlier, Kamala Harris has been the
vice president for three and a half years, and I
think ladies and gentlemen, she's in effect been the acting
(08:07):
president because we all know Joe Biden is at home,
so she's been the one control and government policy for
three and a half years. She says she wants to
tackle the affordability crisis.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
On day one, and then on the other hand, she'll say, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
We've already got inflation under control.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, which is it, Kamala, which is it? The simple truth.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Is American credit card debt has got getting higher.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Americans are finding the.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Basic necessities in middle class life less affordable. Americans are becoming,
especially young people are becoming paupers in their own country.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
If we don't do better our young generation, they're not
going to own anything. They're not going to have anything.
They're going to be.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Renters in the country that their parents and grandparents build.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Inflation is a disaster. Kamala Harris is not having a
leg to stand on every day to see what's going
on in my cousin Michael very show, and this is.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
My damn country.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
I'll bought for this country, this is mine.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Let me tell you story very briefly. Most of you
know it. People betting on the ridge.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
My dad worked very hard for forty years for DuPont
in Orange. He was a maintenance worker. It was not
the job he would have liked to have. He didn't
enjoy his job. He didn't look forward to it. He
always wore a beard, and he had to shave his
(09:27):
beard because of some stupid inspector and I guess they
decided you couldn't put your mask on with a beard
orm or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And he resented that.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Because a grown man who shows up to work day
in day out, year in year out, who keeps the
plant running, who works a shutdown. When you have him,
there would be weekends. He would take every bit of
overtime he could before school started or before the summer started,
(10:01):
so we could take a little family vacation, and so
we could buy clothes to go back to school, and
then right before Christmas to make a little extra money
for Christmas. And for a grown man to be told
you got to shave your beard when my mom had
never seen him without a beard. I never seen him
without a beard I was a teenager. A man needs
(10:27):
to feel like he's in control of his own life.
He resented that made him very angry for good reason.
But you stay at a job like that that is
not your dream, is not your passion, because you've got
a family to provide for, and that goes on every day,
(10:48):
all day. Across this country, a single mom getting up
to go to work at the bakery, to go in
to make the soups, to go in to open the shop.
There's lots of folks rolling out of bed when it's
still dark with as much coffee as they can pour
into their system, driving their old trucks on its last
(11:11):
leg out to a chain link fence on some old
raggedy wheels, unlocking the gate, pulling that gate open, doing
that in the freezing cold. For some of you in
the snow, you're cold. It's hard to get moving. Another
long day. It's going to be a hard day, and
(11:34):
your back hurts, and a bill came in that you
didn't expect. It's tough. It's the struggle of life, right,
but we still believe in this American dream. We still
believe in upward mobility. Even if we don't personally experience it,
we believe in it. So Tim Walls was on MSNBC
(11:57):
reacting to the news this was before he was the
VP choice that jd Vance had become Donald Trump's VP pick. Now,
as you probably know, jd Vance grew up in pretty
tough circumstances and he wrote a book about it about
a dysfunctional family. His grandmother's role in raising him. A
(12:21):
lot of drugs, things that weren't his choice. He witnessed them,
and he talked about this hard scrabble life and how
it affected him, and the trauma that he witnessed, and
the goodness in people living through very tough times. It's
an inspirational story. He went to the Marines when he
(12:45):
grew old enough, making his grandmother very proud.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
This is all He'll be the elogy.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's autobiographical, went to the Marines, went and served in combat,
to Yell Law School.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Extremely tough to do.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It's an inspirational story of a working man family, a
man from a working family, a tough family. By all rights,
he should not have gone to Yell Law School. He
should not be the vice president. He should be in
prison or dead, right. And I don't care if it's
a black family, Hispanic family, white family, redneck, hillbilly, ghetto, barrio.
(13:33):
These are great stories. We embrace these stories. They're wonderful stories.
We encourage them. They defy the odds, but not the left.
They ridicule these stories because they ridicule the working class
in this country, and they ridicule the poor. And if
the poor could ever understand that the Democrats hate you.
(13:56):
They claim to speak for you because they feel that
they own you. If poor blacks could understand that the
Sheila Jackson Leese and Sylvester Turners and Barack Obamas and
Maxine won they don't respect you. They think you're stupid.
And if people could ever understand that, they would break
(14:20):
their lock on the electoral process. Send those people packet.
They're lazy, they're hustlers, they're users. So here was Tim
Walls criticizing.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
JD. Vance who'd just.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Been named the vice president. This is the kind of
thing we should be cheering in our country.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But did he cheer?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
No.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Listen, they're running for key Man Women Haters Club or something.
That's what they go at. That's not what people are
interested in. And there is angst because Robert Barns, like
JD Vance and Donald Trump gotted the Midwest, told us
we did do that. They talk about private schools, Where
in the heck are you going to find a private
school in a town of four hundred.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Those are public schools.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
Those are great teachers that are out there making a
difference and gave us an opportunity to succeed. That ankst
that JD. Bance talks about in hell Billy Elergy. None
of my ill billy cousins went to Yale, and none
of them went.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
On to be a.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
A venture capitalists or whatever. It's not who people really are. Yeah,
it really doesn't. It's not real. People don't grow up
to succeed.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And who is Tim Walls? Oh? Tim Walls a very
very dark man, very dark man. There's more to.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Tim Walls than meets the eye. And we're going to
learn a lot about Tim Walls, but for now, let's
leave it at this. Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank was
on Fox Business and he was talking about the fact
that the only job creation that has occurred under the
(15:56):
Waltz economy in Mogadishu, Minnesota is government jobs.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That Tim Walls is not a guy.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Who is creating a business friendly environment. And see, folks,
it's important that we tell our neighbors this. You're going
to lose your jobs, you're going to lose your schools,
you're going to lose your savings. Forget what somebody looks
like or what words they use. The policies of these
(16:30):
people are dangerous, they're radical. You can't afford them. You
won't survive them. It's important you understand this. Forget who
makes you feel nice about yourself. You can't afford these people.
They will destroy your life and your country. This is
what Kevin O'Leary had to say.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Latest reading I saw was almost sixty percent of Americans
are invested in the market, whether it's a pension of
for one k. And yet the Democrat VP nominee Tim
Walls has zero money in investments. What do you make
of someone trying to run the country with zero investment acumen.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I didn't know anything about the VP candidate Tim, and
so I did some digging last week. I got the
data last Friday. He is not a good manager. If
you look as his stewardship of his state, Minnesota, it's
been not good.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
And I'll tell you how I measure it. I look and.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Don't people say, oh, your part is in your parson, No,
I'm not. I'm looking at the track record of an
individual came into a state and wiped out job creation.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
He wiped out job.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Creation in professional in manufacturing, in accounting, in every subcategory
you look at, those jobs moved to South Dakota and
North Dakota. The South Dakota job rate right now is
four times that of Minnesota, and Minnesota only creates jobs
in services that are funded by the government healthcare and
social services. Every other sector is in decline. He's also
(17:54):
added a surcharge of one percent one hundred basis points
on top of nine point eight percent taxes. I did
a big that are retiring, and of course they're leaving
the state. In drums drove, he's the best governor for Texas,
for Florida, for North and South Dakota, but not for Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And that's exactly right. That's where they all went. Kevin.
The government made money off of it. We didn't get nothing.
The hard time the Michael Berry Show, it's a damn shame.
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Recently came across a short video and I thought it
was sweet and heartwarming and I wanted to share it
with you. It's a man narrating a slide show of
his life with his wife through the years. And it
feels like too often we get caught up in the
daily grind and we forget to step back and look
(18:44):
at look at the masterpiece we're all painting of our lives.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Is it imperfect? Sure? Is it difficult? Sure?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Is it not what we hoped it would be or expected?
It was sure all those things. My friend Chance McLean
owns a company called Heritage Films, and ten years ago
I asked him to sit down with my dad and
video of my dad and make a little biography of
my dad, because my dad won't be here forever, none
of us will. And I worried because my dad's a
(19:18):
lifelong diabetic. If his systems gave out, my kids wouldn't
remember what he looked like, what he sounded like. And
so I wanted a chance to make a video of
my dad's life, where he was born, all the things
about it. And he did me one better. He asked
Mom and Dad, can I have all your pictures? And
they hand him the pictures and he created. And so
(19:40):
when my dad told the story about when he was
six years old he went to elementary school, Chance found
a picture of him at about six years old going
to elementary school, and it was just like the old
biography channel used to have a biography on there. And
it turned out that video turned out so good and
he enjoyed it so much, and I enjoyed the result.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Of it so much.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I said, Chance, he had a video production company, he
would make commercials for FOS. I said, Chance, you got
to make a business out of this. This is your business.
No more commercials, this is it. So I started talking
about on the air. He became a show sponsor, borrowed
the money to become a show sponsor, and I started
talking about it, and lo and behold, he literally travels
(20:26):
across the country now because our listeners are spread all across.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The country on podcasts and on the regular.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Show, people email me every day, Hey, who's the guy
that tells the video stories?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Connect me with him.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
He'll be in California one day, New York two days later, Pennsylvania, Florida.
I mean, these are actually places he's been in probably
the last three weeks, tell apul stories.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Even he does these deals like a town, well, we'll
have him come in and do the story of this town,
how it started, and they use that for their prospecting for,
you know, to get companies to come there. It's in
organizations that there'll be a class. Anyway, I think it's
a very healthy thing to do to look back at
(21:10):
these sorts of things. This is not a chance McLean story.
Sorry I should have said that This was a video
I found that I just I wanted to share with
you to kind of help you put things into perspective.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
It's about taking a moment.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
To pause and truly appreciate the life that you've built.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It's not what you wanted it to be.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You're fatter, or balder, or poorer or not as famous.
None of it turned out the way you had dreamed
it would. But you should be proud of the way
it has turned out. You should be proud of you know.
Your kids may not be as perfect as you wanted
them to be, but by golly, you got them to
the finish line. Your business may not be as big
(21:58):
or powerful, as rich as you'd hoped it would be,
but how hard you had to work. We're not good
at patting ourselves on the back. We're not good at that.
But think of all the sacrifices you made, all the
places you could have failed and didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I mean, that's something to be proud of. Anyway. I
hope this video touches you as much as it did me,
because it really I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Maybe I was when I get home at night, we
do family dinner, and it's very important to us, and
my son's getting ready to go off to college, so
we really really make sure that we all sit there.
We don't finish early, because these are our last few
days to get to do this.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And so.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Once we're done with all that, then I go out
back and I begin to prepare for the next day show.
And I was doing that and I came across this
video and it just kind of hit me, and I thought,
I got to share that with ya.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
So here it is.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
This is a picture of my first date ever, which
was going over to this girl's house to play basketball
in her I was pretty nervous because I was a
sophomore and she was a senior. That's right, I was
courting an older woman. She already had her driver's license,
so what were the chances that she go for a
guy like me? And after all, we didn't really give
off the same vibes. Still, I thought that if I
(23:17):
hung around with her long enough, played enough guitar, she
would notice.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It turns out it works.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
I somehow tricked her into thinking that I was a
worthy suitor, And sometimes I still look over at her
and think, I can't believe she fell for me. How
long going to keep this up before she realizes that
I have no idea what I'm doing? Well, after fourteen
years and three kids, she hasn't suspected anything yet. One
night not too long ago, we were both complaining about
our sore backs, and I realized we're getting old together.
(23:46):
And it's crazy, because, like, that's the whole point, isn't it.
It's weird and beautiful to watch someone you've known since
they were a teenager. He's so gracefully into middle age.
It's also a bit terrifying because weren't we just kids
a few years ago, and now we've got kids of
our own.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Do they realize that we have no idea what we're doing?
Speaker 10 (24:05):
Do they realize that their parents have made a pact
to just hang out with each other every day until
one of us dies. Do they understand that their parents
are still those nervous kids playing basketball on the driveways,
hoping that if they play their cards right, they might
get to hold hands After something tells me they're picking up.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
On who.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
That one hits me in the fields, as the kids say,
do your kids realize their parents you made a pact
to just hang out with each other because that's what
you did. So your life doesn't feel like something you
(24:53):
should brag about because you know about your failures.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know about the time you got laid off.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You know how you were going to be the best picture,
best point guard, best quarterback.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
It didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Maybe you don't own the company, you just work there.
Maybe you weren't the perfect parent because sometimes you lost
your pool.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But I think it's okay to ever.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
So often just stop and say, hum, I've done pretty good.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Cattle cattle, I had a fine box, Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
So now Kamala Harris is the law and order candidate
who doesn't want at tax tips, Well, you can sit
and stu where you can make sure that everybody you
come in contact with understands the truth in a way
that changes their opinion. That's your task. You want to
(26:00):
excess country, Ask yourself, what can I do? Being mad
that everyone else is stupid is not a strategy. Let
me just tell you that right now, being angry, being frustrated,
the one I have to block because I can't deal
with it. It sets me off. Is people who say,
(26:22):
I don't even know why you still talk about it.
They're just gonna cheat and win. All right, let's all right,
let's let's follow that to its logical conclusion. So should
we do nothing? Pro I mean no matter. So are
you going to vote?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
What's the point? I guess in that point, then there's
no doubt you lose.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I guess it's I guess this way, at least you
don't have to be disappointed. And that is usually the
mindset of a person that has had a very disappointing
life and they just can't handle any more disappointment. That
is the person who dates an ugly woman because it's
just easier.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
They don't want to ever be turned down.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
That is the case of the person who takes a
crappy job because they don't aspire for a better job.
That is a person who builds nothing because if you
start trying to build something, it might be shattered. They
build no relationships, they build no buildings, they build no businesses.
(27:26):
They don't try anything. Oh so, and so I get
he's gonna try to run a marathon. Oh we do,
We're gonna do something. I guess it's easier for you. You
never try to do anything, so you can never really
be disappointed. I have no use for you because your
type are not the men and women of history. But
(27:51):
there are those people and that is their mindset. Well,
Kamla Harris is now being paint did as the law
and order candidate. That's what the left is trying to do.
Here's Pete Bootygig, because he would know. He just runs
around that poor, that poor silly butt of every joke.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
He's on CNN.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Trying to gaslight viewers that Kamala Harris is the law
and order candidate, because that's what they told him to.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Go on and do listen to this.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
Immigration obviously, it constantly rings as a top issue, especially
in Arizona. In your view, how does Vice President Harris
convince voters there that she is better equipped to this,
to handle this than Donald Trump is.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Well, I think part of it is reminding everybody of
her own background, confronting cartels, making sure from her time
as an attorney general, as a prosecutor in a border state,
and before that as a district attorneity attorney, that she
understands what it means to look after the rule of
law and to keep people safe.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
If you just tell people a lie, and you're truly
pathological such that you can tell them without setting off
the light detector test. If you simply say it enough
times convincingly, there will be people who will believe it.
(29:22):
We know that with the number of things, and that
is the strategy, and the only thing we can do
to combat that is our own part. One thing about
the left, they're passionate. There's zealous. They are absolutely passionate
and absolutely zealous.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
We will close the show today.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Let me first say we now post bonus podcasts every day,
so if you listen to the show, you can also
listen to our morning show. But if you listen to
the show and you want more after the show at
any time on demand, if you subscribe to our podcast
wherever you get your podcasts, iHeart iTunes, Spotify, there's lots
(30:11):
of them. We now are doing usually about two extra
bonus podcasts about ten minutes each, little bite sized pieces
in the middle of the afternoon, and they seem to
be very popular.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
People seem to enjoy them. So we will continue to.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Do that at least through the election, because we have
more to talk about than we have time for. Our
website is Michael Berryshow dot com m I C H
A E L B E R R Y Michael Berryshow
dot com. You can send me an email directly there.
(30:45):
I want to listen carefully. I read every email. I
cannot possibly reply to every email. That would be impossible,
but I do read everyone. You can buy our merch
which supports our team, and you can sign up for
our daily Blast, which comes once a day. We never
sell your email, we never share your email. It's just
(31:05):
to tell you that the bonus podcasts hit and will
include a couple of silly memes and have some fun
with it. Part of the gas lighting you the public
is for Kamala Harris to tell you that they're telling
you that the Christians love Kamala Harris. How much do
Christians love her?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well? The Christians for Kamala group.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Now you got white guys for Commeda, you got girls
for Common, Now you got the Christians for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
They posted Paula stone Williams video. Paula Stone Williams is
a trans reverend. That's part of the Christians for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Different kind of Christian that I've ever known of.
Speaker 11 (31:43):
Last year, five and ninety two anti transgender laws were
introduced in state legislatures throughout the United States. Ninety of
them were signed into law in over twenty different states.
Who was driving those laws? Well, of course it was
Republican legislatures, but people assume it was Republicans. Well, two
(32:04):
studies show us it was not Republicans per se driving
those laws, because sixty one percent of Republicans believe transgender
people should have the same civil rights as everybody else.
So who was driving those laws? Who is still driving
those laws? So it is the people I grew up with.
It is the people who talk to me about Jesus.
(32:27):
It is a people to whom I preached. It is
Evangelical Christians, eighty seven percent of whom believe that gender
is immutably.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Determined at first, sixty.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
Seven percent of whom believe we already give too many
civil rights to transgender people. I don't worry about myself.
I mean, whatever happens, I'll be fine. I'm older than
dirt and I will not live long enough to lose
my white male entitle And that's the truth. I serve
as mayor pro tem here in Lyons, Colorado. I had
no difficulties here. I'm not concerned about me. All my
(32:59):
friends kids, it's the kids you know transgender children have
a suicide completion rate thirteen times higher than their peers.
So just yesterday I got a call from grandparents in
New England asking if I would talk to their daughter
in Tennessee about her child who needs medical care and
(33:23):
cannot receive it in Tennessee. My co worker, a licensed councilor,
just today saw two transgender children who came here because
of the medical care that's available to them here in
Colorado that's not available where they came from.
