Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
If you are a politician or your immediate commentator, and
two beautiful babies just got murdered while praying, and your
politics force you to contend prayer in response to it,
you ought to get new politics because something very wrong
has gone on, and sign your soul.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
These kids were literally praying.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
It was the first week of school, they were in
a church.

Speaker 6 (00:37):
Half of the politicians in our country have little more
to offer than thoughts and prayers.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
That is all they are offering.

Speaker 7 (00:43):
I'll join all of us in praying for the victims,
was Vice President Jady Vansi's response today.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's what he said. That's it.

Speaker 6 (00:48):
Please join me in praying for everyone involved.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Trump wrote, forget about thoughts and prayers.

Speaker 8 (00:53):
These kids were literally praying when they were murdered through
a church window.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Thoughts and prayers just aren't an out here right now.
These ideas were actually praying. At the end of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Thought some prayers have led us to having on more
of these deaths, more of these shootings. I actually had
a negative reaction to the mayor's statements today, I think
it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith.
You said thought some prayers ring hollow. I think thoughts

(01:26):
and prayers are the most solid on days of tragedy
for people who live their faith every day. And I
think on a day like today, particularly in a church community,
there are probably people praying harder for comfort today than
they have ever prayed in their life. And so I think,
and I've heard others on the left today go down
this line of attack against people of faith, sort of

(01:49):
denigrating the idea that they might want to pray today,
And so I think his.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Statements were misguided.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
And I just thought maybe tonight the most useful thing
any of us can do would take seconds and just
said quietly and be still, and be quiet, and take
about those families, because they are never going to be
the same no matter what we say.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
If you are the praying type, I would ask you
to join me in prayer. I'm just going to say
a prayer for the two little kids who lost their
lives yesterday. And this is a prayer we say a
lot in my church, and I've always found it very meaningful.
It's very short, but e turtle rest granted to them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May

(02:32):
the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy
of God rest.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
In peace, ay Man, Because young people were praying when
a monster murdered them, and the Left says, your prayer
doesn't work. See those children were killed. The reason no

(02:58):
children were killed is in large part because of terrible
leftist policies. Even the murderer himself a headline in New
York Post, Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman confessed he was
quote tired of being trans end quote. I wish I

(03:22):
never brainwashed myself. It's not only the policies of the
left that have allowed an environment full of crime, an
element of crime to thrive. It is the combination of

(03:43):
self loathing that is taught, particularly to these children, and
very powerful drugs, very very powerful drugs. When you mess
with the human body's hormones, when you start blocking puberty,

(04:08):
are coursing hormones into the body at levels the body
did not already provide. Contrary two, the biological sex of
the individual. Couple that with the troubled young mind. I
think every young mind is troubled. I think teenage years

(04:31):
are hard. Peer pressure will never be a greater driver
of what you do than your teenage years. And a
pimple pops up and you're thinking about slitting your wrists,
or Susie won't go to the problem with you and
you're inconsolable or worse. Or you'll go up and fight

(04:55):
some guy who's already with the girl to get her
away from him, like a dog at a park. It's irrational,
but I don't know about you. I've been young, I've
been irrational. The cruelty you can engage in toward another
human being because you're so insecure yourself. I did it,

(05:21):
most people do. The cruelty you can engage into your
younger sibling or older sibling, The things you can say,
the crazy, convoluted thoughts that you have. So let's start
with the idea that young people are already volatile, and
then you get the systems around them that should have

(05:45):
been the pillars, that should have been the bumpers to
keep them, to get them through this age. Used to
tell my kids they are eighteen and nineteen now, and
used to laugh at my mom when she would say,
my job is to keep you alive and off the drugs.

(06:05):
That sounds silly now, but I now realize that was
a tall order. She took that very seriously. She took
the job very seriously to be the caretaker on loan
from God to these boys and get them to adulthood

(06:27):
where they could make decisions for themselves. Well, that that
is not what parents are doing who transition these children.
And it appears the blame is now being cast on
the father. But you start noticing things in the homes
of shooters, the broken homes of shooters. You start noticing

(06:52):
dad deprivation. You start noticing daddy just wasn't there. You
start noticing earlier conflict between mom and dad, and that's
being selfishly by both parties. That's being paraded, that's creating
a volatile relationship between them and their children and them

(07:14):
and each other. And you see such selfish, destructive behaviors.
And then you've got a young person who is already
struggling to fit in in school, who is and let's
be honest, as we're growing into our bodies, it's weird
for everybody. But to then tell a kid, ah, let's
switch you over to that, and then it hunt these

(07:37):
powerful drugs into.

Speaker 9 (07:38):
That is your city boring, too clean, too safe? Why
not take a vacation to beautiful Southern California. Whether you're
being assaulted by our drug addicted vagrants walking down Hollywood Boulevard,
or you're just taking a minute to enjoy the scenery
of used needles, trash, and human waste. Southern California is

(08:00):
the ultimate destination for cultural enrichment. Why not see what
awaits you Under future president Gavin News come visit So
Cal today and see what everyone is talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
In an outburger. One of the more recent high profile
transitions from California company to Texas or Tennessee. Tennessee has
become a hotspot for relocations. But you know, for years,
I remember BMW opened their plant in the United States,

(08:43):
I think in Alabama. There has long been this idea
by people who live in New York and California that
the people in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, these people are backward.
They're all married to their sisters. Not ilhan omar here.

(09:07):
What are you talking about? But this was this was
frequently joked, and that includes Tennessee, Arkansas, West Virginia, Oklahoma. Well,
when you look at the places of lowest crime, you

(09:28):
don't see any of these places. When you look at
the places, well, you do New Orleans and Houston. But
when you look at where people want to live, if
you look at where the capital is flowing now, and
I mean capital for manufacturing operations, I don't mean capital
for AI because that's still concentrated relatively. But when you

(09:50):
look at or money is flowing for operations for businesses
that are still going to make things on American soil,
they're not opening in New York and they're not opening
in California because those states have made it impossible to
do so. I saw a meeting the other day that
they were talking about raising taxes, and somebody in the

(10:13):
group was saying, we can't keep raising taxes. Why do
you want to raise taxes with New York City Council
meeting And the woman said, because we've lost one hundred
and forty billion dollars in taxpayers in the last five
years whatever it was. And he said, that's why you've
lost it. The idea that these people owe you money,

(10:38):
You've got to sell them. You've got to compete. It
is easier to up and move a company today than
it's ever been. There are relocation experts, relocation operators, they
can they can find you the NewSpace, get this thing
all ready to teed up for you to move from

(11:00):
California or New York to Tennessee or Texas or Mississippi, Alabama.
But Nashville's become a hotspot. Austin and Houston and Dallas
had become hotspots. The Florida now, especially for New Yorkers.
So that you flip a switch, you turn the lights
out on Friday in California and Monday morning, you're doing

(11:24):
business in your new location with no state income tax,
with less regulation, with some degree of legal protections, and
without all the nonsense and silliness and craziness, without the
smashing grabs on the same level. At some point everything

(11:46):
glorious that California had going for it, and it did.
Used to have billboards in California when you drive in
on ten it's say, welcome to California. Now go home.
The days of George, Duke Margin or Duke Magen, Pete Wilson.
That was the transition, that was the glory days. But

(12:08):
I will tell you civilizations rise and fall for various reasons,
but they go back to a core number. It's hard
to imagine, but the data bears it out. Havana, Cuba
used to be one of the best places to visit,
especially for a gambler in the world, and then it

(12:29):
wasn't used to be a great place to live. Now
it's not Beyroot Lebanon used to be. But there's several
cities that call themselves the Paris of the East. But
Beyroot was a great city to visit. Tehran in Iran
was a place that tourists would go and visit. But

(12:51):
for that matter, it's not just those countries that we
know of that have fallen. London, Paris. You know right
now now, for the first time in a long time,
you've got the populist right wing parties leading elections in
places like Germany. You've got right wing populism on the

(13:15):
rise in England. In Paris, they're taking to the streets.
Japan just had a big rally and let me tell
you why. Here is the migrant population in various Western
countries from nineteen ninety and then the next number is

(13:36):
twenty twenty four in the UK, of course, that's England.
They went from five percent to seventeen percent. What are
they seeing. It's almost all Muslim immigration, and what they're
seeing is rapes on the rise. They're seeing Muslim candidates

(13:58):
running and winning and then saying things that are rather shocking.
They're seeing an invader's mentality. They're seeing a very hostile
mentality toward whites. And you have a situation now where
in England carrying an English flag will get you arrested.

(14:21):
You've got the government that has turned on its own people,
and at some point it's like the attict who hits
rock bottom. At some point they come blazing back. You
just hope it's not too late. The US went from
eight percent to fifteen percent migrant Austria nine percent to

(14:42):
twenty five percent, Belgium nine to twenty percent, Denmark five
to fourteen percent, Germany nine to twenty percent. Angela Merkel
should be should be put in the same basement prison
as Anthony Fauci for what she did opening the borders there.
Greece went from six percent to fourteen, Iceland three to
twenty five, Ireland six to twenty two. Finland went from

(15:04):
one percent to ten percent, France nine to fourteen percent,
Spain two to nineteen percent, Italy three to eleven percent.
Norway went from four percent migrant to eighteen percent, Sweden
nine to twenty two percent. Look at how the rapes
have exploded there Canada fifteen percent to twenty two percent.
But then there's Poland. You ain't changing Poland. They went

(15:26):
from three percent to four and a half percent.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
Very from the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Barry, we're.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Talking about California and how bad things have gone. This
is a throwback to a while back when Elon was
on with Joe Rogan, and this kind of tells you
everything when you don't have When a Republican feels like
it's illegal to be a Republican in your state in America,
that's a real, real bad sign.

Speaker 10 (16:01):
It's borderline illegal to be a Republican in California, Like
in San Francisco or LA.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's borderline illegal to be a Republican. Are you certainly shunned?

Speaker 10 (16:10):
No? I look, I mean like San Francisco, you could
shoot Heroin while taking a dump on the mayor's car
in front of city hole, Okay, and that and nothing
would happen to you. But if you walk down the
street with a mega hat, You're gonna get attacked.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's insane. Yeah, it's insane.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's also so orwellian that a hat that says make
America great again would cause people to have a violent reaction,
like aren't you American? Wouldn't just just as a whole
like the saying wouldn't that be a good thing for everyone,
make America great again? But because it's attached to Donald
Trump and that red hat, you'll get maced for wearing

(16:53):
that red hat. They will make America worse by beating you.
So it's like it's an evil thing. They're doing a
violent assault in America because you want to make America
creat again.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I mean, it's like a scene in a book.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
It doesn't it doesn't seem like it could be that ridiculous,
Like remember when All Lives Matter would get you fired?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I mean yeah, and we can never forget that that
happened because anyone who said, yes, he can lose his life,
we can destroy his life. That's a good thing to do.
That comment really upsets me that badly. That type of
person is broken. You don't fix that person, you don't

(17:40):
make them any better. Since we're talking about California, it
is worth noting California was once in the not so
distant past, the most coveted state to live in in
the Union. People wanted to live in California at all costs,
and it was everything they could do to live in California.

(18:06):
They desperately wanted to live in California. And in the
late sixties, the governor was Ronald Reagan, the man who
first ran for president in nineteen eighty on the slogan
make America Great Again. America was already in a transition.

(18:29):
Reagan's governorship witnessed the primary phases of that. What came
out of civil rights, which was a good thing, turned
into an abuse of power. It turned into the pendulum
swinging a different direction. It turned from blacks not feeling

(18:50):
empowered to a movement where the pandering based on race
and the identification based on race. That became an incubator
for some really bad people to rise through the political structure,
and those people perverted what was intended as let's have

(19:16):
true equality, let's be true in perfecting our union. And
a lot of Americans, well intentioned, tried to do that.
But once those individuals started grabbing power and they started realizing, hey,
this race thing. I can really get somewhere on this

(19:37):
race thing. Hey, recruiting out of the colleges, I can
get some good Foot soldiers and they're really, really naive.
It's also where the cults, you know, find their members
among the youth. It's also where in the Blood Diamond Wars,
they would level a town, but they would keep the

(19:59):
young men because they were the most easily brainwashed and
they made for good warriors. This is what Saul Olenski
taught Barack Obama. He knew these principles. But you go
back to California, hard to believe, was once the greatest
state to live in in the Union, the most coveted
place to call home. It drove inflation through the roof

(20:20):
because everybody wanted to live there. And Ronald Reagan, when
he became president, implemented a number of the things that
he had imposed in California. And even Democrats have said, oh,
Reagan was a great president. You didn't say that at
the time. Nothing like that. I'm reminding one of my

(20:42):
favorite Ronald Reagan quotes that speaks to where we have
been under Biden and under Obama and the concept of
remember the stimulus, Remember the quantitative easing, the idea that
making this a strip where somebody comes out with one
of those cash guns and just throws cash out of

(21:03):
the public. That'll solve all the problems.

Speaker 11 (21:07):
You know.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Well, here's his line.

Speaker 11 (21:10):
Mister Carter became president. Inflation was four point eight percent.
It is now running a twelve point seven percent.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
He is blamed the people of living too well.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
We don't have inflation because the people are living too well.
We have inflation because the government is living too well.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Listen to that again. Because Reagan and Trump have very
different speaking styles, but they are each master communicators in
their own way. Listen to this line again. So good.

Speaker 11 (21:44):
Mister Carter became president. Inflation was four point eight percent.
It is now running a twelve point seven percent.

Speaker 7 (21:50):
He is blamed the people of living too well.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
We don't have.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Inflation because the people are living too well. We have
inflation because the government is living too well.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
The government has become too big a part of our lives.
The government has become too big a part of our economy.
Too many people work for the government, too many people
sell to the government, too many people on government benefits.
This is not what made America great and you've got
to shed people off of the government team. We're starting

(22:24):
with the illegal aliens. That's a good thing. We're starting
with getting them. Scott Turner from Texas announcing that they
would no longer be getting HUD benefits for Section eight housing.
I looked at the comments to one of those stories
where a lot of people said, where's that illegal aliens

(22:44):
were getting Section eight housing? You see, we created this
social state, this social safety net, this welfare protections for
our poor. Well guess what people from every other country
wanted to come here. Hey, I want to go and
get all the stuff for poor people in America. I

(23:04):
can live like a rich person in my country by
being a supposedly poor person in America. Well, we didn't
have the budget or the resources to take care of
all the poor from every country. And when we made
the compact, hey, all right, we will provide a safety
net for the poorest among us who fell through the cracks.

(23:28):
It was never intended. And we'll go recruit people from
all over the world who will provide that for them too.
This is all supposed to be on some sort of
white man's guilt. You're supposed to and if you're not
white the American guilt. You see, you have privilege. The
concept of privilege was the answer to all their prayers.

(23:51):
If you ever dared say, no, I don't want to
give every bum on the corner ten bucks. No, I
don't want to let you steal my car. No, I
don't want to pay all your bills. No, I don't
want to fill in the blank. Oh, you have privilege.
That's the stupidest word in the world. You know what
I have? I have conviction and character and integrity. And

(24:12):
I teach that to my kids, and I was taught
it by my dad. If these idiots would learn that,
maybe they wouldn't have the problems they do.

Speaker 10 (24:18):
Care about looking good while doing evil.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
That, Michael very you there is a self loathing in
Western civilization that is in its third generation, and it
is the idea that you should protect the people of
the world over the people of your own country. It

(24:45):
is the idea that nationalism is something to be ashamed of.
It's discrimination, it's evil, it's privilege. Any people who are
not more protective of their own own people and their
own boundaries will fall, particularly when you have cultures like

(25:10):
the Middle East swarming across Europe, like Latin America swarming
northward through the United States. Then you've got some of
the Middle East as well. When you look at some
of the actions and words coming from people into this country,
these are not grateful immigrants following our processes. These are invaders.

(25:38):
That is not vitriol. They say they are invaders. They
say we will take you over. They say you people
don't reproduce. They say we will be in charge and
you will bow before us. I saw a video of
a Muslim immigrant I don't know his status at the

(26:00):
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Europe. He put
a skillet over the flame at the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier and was making himself an omelet. And you
talk about the insult making himself an omelet. Can you imagine?
This is clip six twenty four. Mister Robis. This is

(26:22):
a member of Parliament. Bridget Phillipson from the Labor Party
asked if she agrees that the rights of illegal aliens
are more important than the rights of the people of Epping,
which is a town in England. Listen to this, and.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
I know people don't like because even a you're in
as a government saying this is what we inherited. This
is what we inherited right. There was a widespread use
of asylum hotels by the Conservatives that increased enormously at
enormous cost. You can't go to a conservative, yes, but
it won't be a quill sort it.

Speaker 12 (27:00):
Your lawyers, under your guidance have said in terms that
the rights of asylum seekers are more important than the
rights of local people in Epping Forest. Would you at
least knowledge that that is what they will hear?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
And it's up to you.

Speaker 12 (27:20):
Ministers can say we agree with that or we don't
agree with it. You can't simply say, let's balance things.
Do you agree with what your lawyers said or don't
you Yes, of course we do.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Oh yeah, I mean yeah, if I have to. But
that's happening in this country as well. This will be
four h three Ramon. This is the double Ard governor
of Illinois, who does not want Donald Trump to bring
in the National Guarden and solve the crime problem where
over fifty people were shot over the weekend, including three

(27:54):
mass shootings. Well, Governor tuble Ard says Donald Trump is
using the National Guard to steal the midterm election. Oh really, Tubby,
how is that this is a part of his plan
to do something really nefarious, which is to interfere with
elections in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 10 (28:16):
He wants to have troops on the ground to stop.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
People from voting, to intimidate people from going to the
voting booth. So take notes. That is what this is
all about. Karen bassa mayor of Los Angeles, said the
same thing. Democrats are now slipping open saying they're trying
to keep illegal aliens from voting. That is exactly right,

(28:40):
because it is illegal for them to vote. Meanwhile, five
h six from on Tom Homan, the borders are who
is doing an amazing job on America's real voice.

Speaker 13 (28:52):
I got requests this morning. Please come back to Boston.
Please come back to Chicago. We got more work to
do in Rochester. Please Brook come to Seattle. Uh, because
you know, I've been calling all sanctuary cities and you know,
they say I'm not welcome sanctuary cities. That's the first
place I go. So people see us out They're finding
sanctuary cities, and sanctuary cities that haven't gotten to yet

(29:13):
are begginess to you know, please put us under microscopes.
I get those emails every day. I had to shut
down my my my LinkedIn account because it's just inundated.
But people are reaching out to the media, reaching out
to the White House, you know, press corps. They want
ice action, their communities to UH and we're gonna give
it to them. You know, we're we're we're staffing up

(29:33):
teams right now. We're increasing the amount of teams nationwide. Penful,
We're going to We're going to flood the zone. So
we'll get there sooner or later. So just stand by.
We're coming.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
When he said please come to Boston and then please
come to l A, Please come, he made me think
of the old Dave Logins song Please Come to Boston.
Dave Logins of course wrote it and recorded it. I
will tell you that's going to surprise you to hear,
because it's not. It's not the most famous version. Joan

(30:05):
Baezes probably is. But David allen Coe's version of Please
Come to Boston, You've got it. David allen Coe's version
of Please Come to bost Boston, it is. It is
the prettiest song he ever did. It is him putting this.
I mean this guy, this guy did hard time. This

(30:26):
is a tough, tough guy, and please come to Boston.
Is him singing an unadulterated, raw, authentic love song. I mean,
just a pretty love song. He's come to Boston for

(30:58):
the spring. Well, you get the points. A beautiful song.
Riba did it?

Speaker 5 (31:05):
B W.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Stevenson did it? Tammy Wynett and Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson,
Glenn Campbell, Babyface, Brandy Tory, Amos, Kenny Chesney, do without that,
Wade Bowen, Jimmy Buffett did it? Actually, Jimmy Buffett is
a pretty good version. Confederate Railroad did it? Another good version?
You like Confederate Railroad? Me too, Me too, Confederate Railroad.

(31:26):
Good stuff, absolutely good stuff. There was one other thing.
I know, we're almost out of time. I want to
remind you we post bonus podcasts that our podcasts, just
like guys that are just podcasters don't do shows. We
do bonus podcasts that are unrelated to I mean, that

(31:46):
are not a show. So if you want more content,
I'm going to close with something Tom Brady said that
I think is absolutely fantastic that I agree with a lot.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Football is the ultimate team sport, and even in this
broadcasting role, Chris, that's what I look for all the
time when the quarterbacks throws a touchdown pass, I actually
watched to see who he goes and celebrates with, because
what did I do? I looked for my offensive lineman
every time I went down and celebrated in the end
zone with my teammates, every time. I wanted everyone to

(32:20):
feel like they were part of the success. I told
the lineman, we're all running to the end zone and
we're celebrating as a team, because I think that's way
more intimidating than a quarterback doing his six shooter.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Guns and pointing up in the.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Crowd and doing all that other that's very self promotional,
but it's not about winning. And I think winning in
football is about a team, always a team attitude, first,
thank you and good night.
