Speaker 3 (00:11):
Look, I mean we had all seen him aging, we
had all seen him tripping and misspeaking. We had all
seen evidence of decline.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
As a black woman who is queer. It was somebody
that I saw every single day who was shark, who
pushed his team, was understanding.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Very clearly of the policy of history.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
The best way to get something done if you if
you holds near and dear to you that you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Like to be able to.

Anyway from from Charlotte, assumed me from Charlotte one another

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Prudence Kluptocher in the most police swamp thing possible. Eleanor
Holmes Norton, the non voting Democrat delegate who represents DC,
has early stages of dementia.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
She is eighty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
She has a caretaker with power of attorney because she
can't make decisions for herself. She was recently scammed out
of four thousand dollars because she's at that old age
where she doesn't know what's going on. So of course
she's running for reelection. The story from News four DC.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
According to two separate police reports, officers were called to
Eleanor Holmes Norton's home, just blocks from the US Capitol,
yesterday afternoon. Both reports detail how an employee of Norton's
reported the congresswoman had been the victim of credit card fraud.
The public report identifies the person who called police as
Jacqueline Pelt. Pelt is a law time friend and campaign
(02:01):
manager for Norton. Newsfor obtained a more detailed internal report
written by the first District Watch commander, who was one
of the officers who responded to the incident. According to
that internal report, the person reporting the crime is only
identified as Norton's caretaker slash power of attorney. The internal
(02:22):
report says the caretaker was not at the home, but
noticed through a security camera that a cleaning crew was
in the congresswoman's home and asked them to leave. The
internal report says the caretaker then went to Norton's home
and flagged down a DC police officer. The spokesperson for
Norton confirms Pelt was the person who notified police, but
(02:43):
tells News For she's not Norton's caretaker. The spokesperson would
not say whether pelt has power of attorney for Norton.
As stated in the internal police report. The internal report
says the suspects charged more than four thousand dollars on
Norton's credit card for work they did not perform.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
The internal report goes on to.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Say Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton of DC, eighty eight years old,
black woman, suffers early stages of dementia. A spokesperson for
Norton issued this statement to News for. The medical diagnosis
included in the police report was based on an assumption
the reporting officer was unqualified to make. Furthermore, Congresswoman Norton
(03:29):
does not have a caretaker.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
A longtime employee and.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Friends serves as the house manager, residing at a separate address.
Norton's spokesperson declined to say whether Norton has had any diagnosis,
telling News For her office does not comment on the
congresswoman's health. The internal police report goes on to say
the suspects had tried two other times in the past
(03:53):
two months to solicit services at Norton's home but were unsuccessful,
and that Norton's credit card and River's license number potentially
may have been compromised. A spokesperson for the DC Police
Department confirms there is an open investigation into the fraud
claim involving Norton's credit card.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Most of politics is performative and silly and meaningless, but
not this story. Grin Jean Pierre making the rounds trying
to sell her new book, she was on MSNBC and
actually asked some real questions over her cover up of
Sleepy Joe's descent into dementia and her attacks from the
(04:36):
White House podium on Special Counsel Robert Herr and his
report that highlighted Sleepy Joe's lack of cognitive ability and memory.
Her ultimate answer being that she's a black woman who's queer.
So you tried to destroy this man, you told lies
on behalf of Joe Biden, and you tried to destroy
(04:59):
Robert her But your answer is that you're a black lesbian. Well,
I guess you've learned that's how you get yourself out
of trouble.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
Hume, caream just quickly before you go, since you were
talking about the difference in being at the podium and
then now in your personal capacity. The Special Counsel Robert
Herr when his report came out about President Biden and
the classified documents. You stood from the White House podium
February twenty twenty four and you said that his commentary
(05:30):
was gratuitous, that it was unacceptable, and it didn't live
in reality. And clearly the American public saw another side
of Joe Biden's mental acuity during the Summer's debate. Robert
Hurr was unemployable for a period because of the attacks
from the Democrats and from the White House.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
That you were at the podium leading. Have you apologized
to Robert Herr?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean, look, what I can say to you is
I've seen that I saw the president every single day.
It wasn't one off, it wasn't once in a while.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I saw him every day. He is someone that was shark.
Have you gone back for someone he had pretty suh our.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Comments about and we all saw a different reality in
your personal.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Capacity, saying is my reality was this?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
My reality was somebody that I saw every single day
who was shark, who pushed his team, was understanding.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Very clearly of the policy of history.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That is what I saw.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I could only speak for what I saw on a
daily basis for two and a half years, almost four
years actually, and it was White House pre secretary obviously.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
For two and a half years.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And that is the president that I know, someone who
woke up every day and was very zeroed in and
focused on how to deliver for this part for the
American people. And that's what I'm speaking to is what
I saw every day.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And look, there's not many there's not many.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
People who can say, oh, you know, they saw that,
they saw somebody every day like the president of the
I Sation was able to speak for him.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm able to do that. I was his White House
Press secretary.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I was called into the Oval Office on a daily basis.
I traveled with him for ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And so I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Speaking for myself here.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm speaking for what I saw, and that was why
I pushed back when I pushed back.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
So now that you are speaking for yourself, Kareem, do
you have any regrets at all for anything that you
said while you were speaking on behalf of this administration.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I'm look, it's no, no, no, because you're asking for
a answer, no question. I want to put some context
to it too. I will up every day.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I woke up every day very proud to be the
White House pre Secretary.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I woke up every day as.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
A as a black woman who is queer, who had
never no one had ever seen someone like me at
that podium, standing behind that lecture. It was an honor
and a privilege to have that job. And I did
it to the best of my abilities. And I spoke
for the President of the United States, a person that
I believe was a decent person. We did not get
(08:09):
everything right. No one is saying we got everything right.
No one is saying that we got everything right. No
one is saying that. But we did it to our
best of our abilities.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And I worked very hard to.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Do that job. I almost went the laws good of
myself the Michael Veri Show, So this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Should be a little bit frightening to anyone paying attention.
Christina Aguayo of Christina TV says that records have revealed
that George Soros has funneled money in support of Zori
Mundani to the tune of thirty seven million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know if this is true or not. I
don't believe.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I have to be certain something is true in order
to play it with the disclaimer it may or may
not be true, but If I wait on everything to
be proven true, then it will be disclosed too late
in the game to be considered as voters cast their ballots.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Records have revealed that George Soros funneled thirty seven million
dollars to support Democrat socialist Zorn Mamdanni's campaign and marginalize
Andrew Cuomo. According to those recently released records, Sorrows, through
his Open Society Foundation, funneled the money in recent years
to the Working Families Party and at least nine other
(09:40):
left wing organizations that supported Mandanmi's successful campaign in the
New York Democrat mayoral primary. The WFP, a far left
socialist friendly group, received twenty three point seven million dollars
from Soorrows through its nonprofit fundraising arm, then use that
money to help Mamdani. An additional almost fourteen million dollars
(10:01):
was distributed to nine other nonprofit organizations and their fundraising entities,
all of which endorsed mam Donnie's campaign and supported his
progressive agenda. Specific groups funded by Soros included Make the
Road Action, Community Voices Heard, move On, Jewish Voice for
Peace Action, which is described as an anti Zionist group,
(10:24):
other unnamed profits also received funds totaling the more than
thirteen point nine million dollar figure. Mamdani, who has been
accused of being a Marxist and communist, won the Democrat
mayoral primary by a twelve point margin over Cuomo, securing
a record five hundred sixty five thousand votes. While Soros
and his family did not directly donate to Mamdani's campaign,
(10:46):
the Open Society Foundation's grants indirectly supported his candidacy through
these organizations advocacy and ground efforts.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Boy, you know, you wonder about some people.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I remember a story I read and then a video
I saw of a person who blinded themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He was a woman. She blinded herself because she she.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Identified as being blind, and so she blinded her so
she wasn't blind otherwise because she wanted to be blind.
And you wonder about that level of self harm? What
kind of nuttiness that requires? A group of liberal Jews
in New York City who call themselves Jews for Racial
and Economic.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Justice, Inc.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They have released a video of four rabbis campaigning for
Zora and Mumdani, a Muslim who has called for globalizing
the Intafada. There always has been and seemingly always will
be a small subset of Jews who are determined to
(11:55):
kill themselves and other Jews.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oddest thing I have ever seen. Well, just give it
a listen.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Hi, Rabbi, Rabbi Hi, Rabbi, Hi, Rabbi Hi.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We're among the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who've been
out door knocking and phone banking to Alexi ran Mamdani.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
We're also rabbis.
Speaker 11 (12:16):
We know, zoranable fight to make our city affordable and
safe for our families.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
And for our neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
As New Yorkers, we're also just people who live here
who don't want to get priced out of this incredible
city that we call home.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
We know fellow Jews want to be able to afford housing, transportation,
and childcare for their families too.
Speaker 11 (12:40):
As Jews, as rabbis, as New Yorkers, we believe that
all people deserve to thrive.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Zoran agrees. But let's get real.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
This isn't only about belief, it's about action.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
So let's build a flourishing city together.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Let's lean That chant sounds like something out of a
sci fi movie. Do you have that lights like Corod.
Let's elect Zorn.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Lights A like Coron lights, A like Coad lights A
like Corod.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, all right, lights like Corod. You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't think we've covered this. I keep meaning to.
It would be so cliche if it were a mob movie.
Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups was among a number
of people charged in an illegal poker operation tied to
the mafia. Investigators say the poker games were rigged with
card reading contact lenses, X ray poker games, trays of
(13:43):
poker chips that read cards, and hacked shuffling machines that
predict hands. Thirty one people arrested in eleven states, including
members and associates of the Banano, Gambino and Genovese organized
crime families, which are part of LaCOSA Nostra. Chauncey Billups
(14:05):
and Damon Jones, also known as d former NBA players
a big part of this. You cannot believe this is
actually real, but it is.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Prosecutors alleged Billups, who coached the Blazers season opener on Wednesday,
and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Damon Jones were paid to
lure unsuspecting victims to high stakes poker games. Mobsters, including
from the Gambino, Genovese Luqes, and Bonano crime families, allegedly
referred to the celebrity athletes as face cards and the
(14:37):
victims as phish.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
What the victims the fish didn't know is.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
That everybody else at the poker game, from the dealer
to the players, including the face cards, were i on
the scam.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Prosecutors showing off technology they say the mafia used to
rig the games, including an altered card shuffling machine and
an X ray poker table that could read cards face
down the game's allegedly cheating victims out of more than
seven million dollars. Rosier, a guard for the Miami Heat,
charged in a separate indictment involving illegal sports betting.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Terry Rosier right for this comfort doubtful to return.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
It, Prosecutors pointing to this play in March twenty twenty
three as evidence that Rosier profited after tipping betters that
he planned to leave the game early wagers, allegedly totaling
over two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 14 (15:30):
His career is already benched, not for injury but for integrity.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Damon Jones is a defendant in both cases. He was
an unofficial assistant coach for the LA Lakers in twenty
twenty three and is accused of selling privileged information that
a prominent NBA player would miss a game due to
an existing injury, a source telling ESPN that player was
Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
That's not you know, mince words.
Speaker 15 (15:54):
This is the insider trading saga for the NBA.
Speaker 16 (15:58):
That's what this is.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We're out of five teachers surveyed said listening to the
Michael Berry Show podcast improved their love life.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The fifth person didn't deserve one anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The great Value Obama a Keem Jeffries that means the
poor men's Obama, of course, was on MSNBC claiming that
Democrats will investigate what will they investigate the number of
illegal aliens who've come here and raped our children, murdered
our wives. Nah, they're going to investigate who's donating money
(16:36):
to the People's House, the New White House ballroom.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yep, they're going to get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Anyone who dares to donate money so that taxpayers don't
have to pay for the ballroom.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We're going to harass them.
Speaker 17 (16:54):
Well likely this is part of what Donald Trump has
been doing since day one of his presidency, running the
largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country,
and probably soliciting donations from people who've got business before
the United States government. And all of this is going
to have to be investigated. It will, all of this
(17:15):
will have to be uncovered. It will, and these people
are going to be held accountable no.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Matter how long it takes.
Speaker 17 (17:23):
That's going to be the reality of the situation. And
that's our warning to all of these people participating in
the scheming to manipulate taxpayer dollars and of course to
destroy the People's House. The White House belongs to the
American people. It doesn't belong to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
That same idiot was on Face the Nation where Margaret
Brennan actually practiced a moment of journalism and asked him
about the Democrats jerrymandering in blue states. I mean, this
is it's just really surprising, I must admit, really surprising.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
I want to ask you about something you said. You said, Democrats,
there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.
You said that back in January, but recently you've been
using the term rigged elections in reference to the upcoming midterms.
Democrats were appalled when President Trump used language like that,
How do you justify using that?
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Now?
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Doesn't that undermine faith for voters? You need to show up.
Speaker 17 (18:29):
No, I've been using that term in the context of
Donald Trump's unprecedented effort to jerry mann their congressional maps
in a partisan fashion all across the country in order
to rig the midterm elections and deny the ability of
the American people to actually decide who should be in
(18:50):
the majority as it relates to the House of.
Speaker 12 (18:52):
You know, Democrats are also going through clear through jerry
mandering and redistricting.
Speaker 17 (18:58):
No, no, no, Democrats are going to push back aggressively
to make sure that we have fair maps across the country,
not partisan gerrymandering, which Republicans have initiated in state after
state after state.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
CNBC's Rebecca Quick asked the same Hakeem Jeffries, why Democrats
didn't extend the Obamacare credits back when they controlled the
House and Senate and the White House.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
If it was so important, why didn't y'all.
Speaker 14 (19:30):
Do it what you are asking the Republicans to do
right now when they control the White House, the Senate,
and the House is effectively what the Democrats could not
do when they controlled all three of those heads of
government themselves. The ten year set up for this for
these the three years set up for the expiration of
(19:54):
these credits was intentionally put in. It was put in
when you controlled the White House, the House, and the
you couldn't get it passed for longer. And so this
is a setup, the kind of your own creation that
you all couldn't extend beyond that. Now you want the
Republicans to do something you didn't do when you were in.
Speaker 17 (20:10):
Power, It's not a setup beyond what we could do.
We extended the Affordable Care Act tax credits in twenty
twenty two for three years. The program is working. It's
providing healthcare to tens of millions of people in an
affordable way, and it should be continued. It's interesting to
(20:30):
us that Republicans decided that they would prefer to permanently
extend massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors in their
One Big Ugly Bill.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Democrat Congressman from Colorado Jason Crowe was on CNN with
Kate Bettingfield when he said Democrats have always been at
the table, always ready to negotiate.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She's so silly, it's so performative.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
We've been sitting here trying to get this done from
the beginning.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Please don't say we haven't.
Speaker 18 (21:07):
Where Democrats will have to cry uncle these food snap
benefits run out. In the past, Democrats have argued policy
change is not something you should shut down the government over.
That should be a different place where it is negotiated.
In what world would democrats decide to come to the table.
Speaker 15 (21:27):
Listen, Democrats have already decided to come to the table.
That was on day one. We've always been at the table.
They have literally ineffectively shut the doors and shut us out.
Donald Trump himself said, don't deal with the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Don't even talk to them.
Speaker 15 (21:43):
He went on Fox and Friends and said that specifically.
That was his order to Mike Johnson. So I have
been here for seven years now. Every single year we've
passed a bipartisan funding bill. When we've passed it, and
that is the only way out, be bipartisan. And it
also has to have guardrails in place because of what
(22:04):
this president has shown himself to be and to do
in the last ten months, which is disregard Congress, disregard
the law, spend money however he wants to spend it. Right,
I have an obligation to my constituents into this country
and constitution not to give a blank check to a
president who's willing to spend money however he wants. That's
not how the constitution works. So we are here, our
(22:26):
door is open, We're ready to negotiate. That is the
only way out of this. But Donald Trump has to
come home from his overseas trip. He has to stop
focusing on the plans and the blueprints for his two hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Million dollar ballroom.
Speaker 15 (22:39):
He has to stop buying one hundred and seventy million
dollars of jets for Christy Nome. He has to stop
wasting all the money that he's wasting buying cattle from
Argentina to bail out one of his strong man friends
and undermine.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The US cattle market.
Speaker 15 (22:55):
He has to stop all of that, and he has
to tell Mike Johnson to come to the table so
we can fix the Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I had planned on doing Kevin Frye after that in
my prep. But let's skip to Chuck Schumer for a moment.
As we're talking about the Schumer shutdown and the effect
it had on the Democrats' Let's hear from Chuck himself.
He says, every American should be frightened that the president
(23:22):
is being shielded by the press.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Ah, yes, that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
The press is being overly nice to Donald Trump. You know,
these people are capable of saying literally anything. It's shocking, like,
no shame.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
I would ask my colleague one of the greatest blows
to democracy when we don't have a fully free press,
and has it been a hallmark of so many of
the countries that he has mentioned that are autocracies or
absolute dictatorships, to have no free press so no information
can come outtic And doesn't that dramatically hurt the American
(23:55):
people when government is shielded and can do whatever it
wants and hurt as many people as it wants because
you don't have a free press. Doesn't it really frightened?
Shouldn't it really frighten every American that this is a
large step on the road away from democracy towards tyranny
(24:17):
and towards authority.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Here the muckle berry.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You are to ring the King's English. Jimmy Waltz is
in it again with you, and I'm exhausted. The left
is on a mission to blame the right, that's you
for absolutely everything, the shutdown, ice clouds, the heat, the cold,
(24:49):
the rich, the poor, the water, the evaporation.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now they're upset.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They got to keep throwing stuff against the wall at
Trump that he's renovating the White House with private dollars,
you know, making it better.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
How awful of him?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The talk of Trump constructing a grand ballroom out of
his own pocket and with private donations, that's just unbearable. Well,
our good friend Timmy Waltz has his podcast and we
keep talking about it because boil Boy is it good?
(25:29):
And he's kind of torn on whether to be mad
or glad because we know Timmy Watts enjoys a good ballroom.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Somebody tripped me some bass.
Speaker 19 (25:45):
One tenth of America hits your boy, City Walls connecting
with the white man's car.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Who's got the slack, who's got the plan.
Speaker 17 (25:57):
Walls?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
He's the man, a man.
Speaker 19 (26:02):
With a mic in his hand and a lass of
he's hopping wisdom. Punky walt playo game.
Speaker 15 (26:12):
To me Wall.
Speaker 19 (26:14):
Okay, how what a week it's been America? First, I
don't want to be remiss, and i'd mentioned are great
friends down in the Montrose Houston in Texas. I mean
those mean monsters that covered up that rainbow walkway. I say,
screw those guys, maybe twice. Well, the Montrose Mafia. They
(26:37):
showed them. They painted right back over where it was.
And that's a big fat rainbow to the rear for
all those against us. Let's give those rainbow wranglers a big.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Walls a clause.
Speaker 16 (26:49):
And now we better get to the matter at hand,
the big mean Donald J.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Trump renovating the East Wing. I know, I know, just
the thought of renovating one of the oldest buildings in America.
Speaker 16 (27:01):
Gives me the gbies And I'm mad. But i gotta
tell you, guys, I'm also torn like a flower on
this one. Did you know the East Wing is home
to a fabulous ballroom.
Speaker 19 (27:12):
Oh, I've been to so many wonderful big balls in
the White House over the years.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But now Trump is tearing it down, but he wants
to make it a bigger, better ballroom.
Speaker 19 (27:22):
We're in for bigger, better balls for years to come, guys.
I mean, I'm excited, but I mean I'm also mad
because Trump is a.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Mean man, but better balls are best for all. Such
a dilemma. T wall Well. Join us next week as
we welcome a blast from.
Speaker 19 (27:41):
The past, a man with two names, Barney Frank, and
he talks about all the balls he's seen in the
White House over the bolder man with the groove instead.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's fascinating to me that that's who they chose to
bring in straight white, rural mall voters. That tells you
how out of touch they really are. So I've been
really focused on trying to sleep more, and it's hard
(28:13):
for me. My wife has made an excuse for me
that I've lashed on too lately, and she said, well,
that's just a trait you inherited from your mother. My
mother liked to stay up too late, and then she
was struggled get up in the morning. And so my
wife has made that excuse for me, and I'm using
it as a crutch. It is not uncommon for me
(28:33):
to stay up till three o'clock in the morning. That's
a stupid thing to do. It is my ultimate vice.
It is so bad for your health, but it's my
superpower that I've always been able to go on literally
two hours sleep and function without people knowing it, but
(28:55):
what you do to your body. The woman who Amy Farmer,
a dermatologist who was on our tripped upon beach. My
wife organized a brunch, a lady's brunch, and she had
her speak about hair and dermatological issues, and she's kind
of unconventional health and wellness as well as dermatology. And
so my wife said, what's a single most important thing
(29:16):
for good skin care? And she said sleep. My wife
was so excited because she's a big believer right now,
and number two is water hydration. So sleep is a
big deal. So this has been my big kick of late.
And so two days ago I went to bed early
for me eleven o'clock. I got a good night of sleep,
(29:41):
and I got up for me good night sleep, and
I got no what a bet? At ten I got
up and I should have been rested compared to when
I normally go to bed, but I wasn't, and I
was dragging all day. And so this morning I got
up and I made a joke about how my wife
(30:04):
said she hadn't slept well we'd gone to bed even earlier,
and I said, well, if I'd stayed up later, And
it was like a it was a very guy joke,
and I realized that I thought I was very funny
because it's these forty five minutes sleep cycles. So I said, well,
if i'd set up to one fifteen, I would have
stayed on my sleep cycle and I would have been well.
And I realized that men and women have such different
(30:27):
things that we find funny not to mention. And I
know I'm going to piss women off, so just calm
down for a minute, because you're not going to like
what I'm saying. That doesn't mean it's not true. It
got me to thinking being at that women's brunch, one
of only two guys there, and watching how women interact
versus how men interact. We are so dramatically different. It's
(30:52):
why I like to have my time with my wife,
movie time, dinner time, go for a walk, take a vacation.
But I also liked to have time with the dudes.
I don't really care to hunt or fish, but I'll
go on a trip just because it's got time. Poker night,
it's not about the poker. Spending time with the fellas.
We smoked cigars together. It's about spending time with the fellas.
(31:12):
That's a very different interaction, and women don't tend to
interact like that.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
They'd like to think they do.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They'll gather together because the husbands are on a hunting trip,
so the women are like, well, let's all get together
because the men are away.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But they argue they don't get along.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It's not part of their DNA for almost all women,
whereas men need that. And organizations of men sports, military
traditionally corporate, but that changed, always had a different vibe.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Now, look, my wife was a professional. I was proud
for her.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I appreciated the men who treated her as a fellow professional,
Mark Watts, Rick Bays, you name it, all of them did.
They were so good to her. But there is a
difference in an environment when it's men only. That's why
Lokanvar for so many years was men only. Women couldn't
be on them. And I understand that makes women feel
left out, but they are being left out, not because
(32:10):
you hate women, but because the absence of women in
the presence of men creates a different environment. And again,
I'm going to say things that make people uncomfortable, but
it doesn't make them untrue, and I believe them to
be true. I'm not being provocative I might be provoking you,
but I'm not trying to. I'm telling you that there
is a way that men speak when it's men only.
(32:33):
There is a way that men kid when it's men only.
There is in a spree decor when it's men only.
We don't want that to be the entirety.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Of our life.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
We don't want that to be all we have. It's
a component of our life. And I got to thinking
to myself with that in mind. The reason Kamala Harris
couldn't beat Donald Trump. Who would you want coaching your
football team? Who would you want running your business? And
it's very very simple. I mean that wasn't even a
competition yet.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Els nights, duly, thank you, and good night,
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Look, I mean we had all seen him aging, we
had all seen him tripping and misspeaking. We had all
seen evidence of decline.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
As a black woman who is queer. It was somebody
that I saw every single day who was shark, who
pushed his team, was understanding.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Very clearly of the policy of history.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
The best way to get something done if you if
you holds near and dear to you that you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Like to be able to.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
Anyway from from Charlotte, assumed me from Charlotte one another
line going from in Florida down to Tampa of.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Prudence Kluptocher in the most police swamp thing possible. Eleanor
Holmes Norton, the non voting Democrat delegate who represents DC,
has early stages of dementia.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
She is eighty eight years old.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
She has a caretaker with power of attorney because she
can't make decisions for herself. She was recently scammed out
of four thousand dollars because she's at that old age
where she doesn't know what's going on. So of course
she's running for reelection. The story from News four DC.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
According to two separate police reports, officers were called to
Eleanor Holmes Norton's home, just blocks from the US Capitol,
yesterday afternoon. Both reports detail how an employee of Norton's
reported the congresswoman had been the victim of credit card fraud.
The public report identifies the person who called police as
Jacqueline Pelt. Pelt is a law time friend and campaign
(02:01):
manager for Norton. Newsfor obtained a more detailed internal report
written by the first District Watch commander, who was one
of the officers who responded to the incident. According to
that internal report, the person reporting the crime is only
identified as Norton's caretaker slash power of attorney. The internal
(02:22):
report says the caretaker was not at the home, but
noticed through a security camera that a cleaning crew was
in the congresswoman's home and asked them to leave. The
internal report says the caretaker then went to Norton's home
and flagged down a DC police officer. The spokesperson for
Norton confirms Pelt was the person who notified police, but
(02:43):
tells News For she's not Norton's caretaker. The spokesperson would
not say whether pelt has power of attorney for Norton.
As stated in the internal police report. The internal report
says the suspects charged more than four thousand dollars on
Norton's credit card for work they did not perform.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
The internal report goes on to.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Say Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton of DC, eighty eight years old,
black woman, suffers early stages of dementia. A spokesperson for
Norton issued this statement to News for. The medical diagnosis
included in the police report was based on an assumption
the reporting officer was unqualified to make. Furthermore, Congresswoman Norton
(03:29):
does not have a caretaker.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
A longtime employee and.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Friends serves as the house manager, residing at a separate address.
Norton's spokesperson declined to say whether Norton has had any diagnosis,
telling News For her office does not comment on the
congresswoman's health. The internal police report goes on to say
the suspects had tried two other times in the past
(03:53):
two months to solicit services at Norton's home but were unsuccessful,
and that Norton's credit card and River's license number potentially
may have been compromised. A spokesperson for the DC Police
Department confirms there is an open investigation into the fraud
claim involving Norton's credit card.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Most of politics is performative and silly and meaningless, but
not this story. Grin Jean Pierre making the rounds trying
to sell her new book, she was on MSNBC and
actually asked some real questions over her cover up of
Sleepy Joe's descent into dementia and her attacks from the
(04:36):
White House podium on Special Counsel Robert Herr and his
report that highlighted Sleepy Joe's lack of cognitive ability and memory.
Her ultimate answer being that she's a black woman who's queer.
So you tried to destroy this man, you told lies
on behalf of Joe Biden, and you tried to destroy
(04:59):
Robert her But your answer is that you're a black lesbian. Well,
I guess you've learned that's how you get yourself out
of trouble.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
Hume, caream just quickly before you go, since you were
talking about the difference in being at the podium and
then now in your personal capacity. The Special Counsel Robert
Herr when his report came out about President Biden and
the classified documents. You stood from the White House podium
February twenty twenty four and you said that his commentary
(05:30):
was gratuitous, that it was unacceptable, and it didn't live
in reality. And clearly the American public saw another side
of Joe Biden's mental acuity during the Summer's debate. Robert
Hurr was unemployable for a period because of the attacks
from the Democrats and from the White House.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
That you were at the podium leading. Have you apologized
to Robert Herr?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean, look, what I can say to you is
I've seen that I saw the president every single day.
It wasn't one off, it wasn't once in a while.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I saw him every day. He is someone that was shark.
Have you gone back for someone he had pretty suh our.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Comments about and we all saw a different reality in
your personal.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Capacity, saying is my reality was this?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
My reality was somebody that I saw every single day
who was shark, who pushed his team, was understanding.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Very clearly of the policy of history.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That is what I saw.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I could only speak for what I saw on a
daily basis for two and a half years, almost four
years actually, and it was White House pre secretary obviously.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
For two and a half years.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And that is the president that I know, someone who
woke up every day and was very zeroed in and
focused on how to deliver for this part for the
American people. And that's what I'm speaking to is what
I saw every day.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And look, there's not many there's not many.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
People who can say, oh, you know, they saw that,
they saw somebody every day like the president of the
I Sation was able to speak for him.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I'm able to do that. I was his White House
Press secretary.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I was called into the Oval Office on a daily basis.
I traveled with him for ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And so I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Speaking for myself here.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I'm speaking for what I saw, and that was why
I pushed back when I pushed back.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
So now that you are speaking for yourself, Kareem, do
you have any regrets at all for anything that you
said while you were speaking on behalf of this administration.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I'm look, it's no, no, no, because you're asking for
a answer, no question. I want to put some context
to it too. I will up every day.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I woke up every day very proud to be the
White House pre Secretary.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I woke up every day as.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
A as a black woman who is queer, who had
never no one had ever seen someone like me at
that podium, standing behind that lecture. It was an honor
and a privilege to have that job. And I did
it to the best of my abilities. And I spoke
for the President of the United States, a person that
I believe was a decent person. We did not get
(08:09):
everything right. No one is saying we got everything right.
No one is saying that we got everything right. No
one is saying that. But we did it to our
best of our abilities.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And I worked very hard to.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Do that job. I almost went the laws good of
myself the Michael Veri Show, So this.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Should be a little bit frightening to anyone paying attention.
Christina Aguayo of Christina TV says that records have revealed
that George Soros has funneled money in support of Zori
Mundani to the tune of thirty seven million dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know if this is true or not. I
don't believe.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I have to be certain something is true in order
to play it with the disclaimer it may or may
not be true, but If I wait on everything to
be proven true, then it will be disclosed too late
in the game to be considered as voters cast their ballots.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Records have revealed that George Soros funneled thirty seven million
dollars to support Democrat socialist Zorn Mamdanni's campaign and marginalize
Andrew Cuomo. According to those recently released records, Sorrows, through
his Open Society Foundation, funneled the money in recent years
to the Working Families Party and at least nine other
(09:40):
left wing organizations that supported Mandanmi's successful campaign in the
New York Democrat mayoral primary. The WFP, a far left
socialist friendly group, received twenty three point seven million dollars
from Soorrows through its nonprofit fundraising arm, then use that
money to help Mamdani. An additional almost fourteen million dollars
(10:01):
was distributed to nine other nonprofit organizations and their fundraising entities,
all of which endorsed mam Donnie's campaign and supported his
progressive agenda. Specific groups funded by Soros included Make the
Road Action, Community Voices Heard, move On, Jewish Voice for
Peace Action, which is described as an anti Zionist group,
(10:24):
other unnamed profits also received funds totaling the more than
thirteen point nine million dollar figure. Mamdani, who has been
accused of being a Marxist and communist, won the Democrat
mayoral primary by a twelve point margin over Cuomo, securing
a record five hundred sixty five thousand votes. While Soros
and his family did not directly donate to Mamdani's campaign,
(10:46):
the Open Society Foundation's grants indirectly supported his candidacy through
these organizations advocacy and ground efforts.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Boy, you know, you wonder about some people.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I remember a story I read and then a video
I saw of a person who blinded themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He was a woman. She blinded herself because she she.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Identified as being blind, and so she blinded her so
she wasn't blind otherwise because she wanted to be blind.
And you wonder about that level of self harm? What
kind of nuttiness that requires? A group of liberal Jews
in New York City who call themselves Jews for Racial
and Economic.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Justice, Inc.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They have released a video of four rabbis campaigning for
Zora and Mumdani, a Muslim who has called for globalizing
the Intafada. There always has been and seemingly always will
be a small subset of Jews who are determined to
(11:55):
kill themselves and other Jews.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oddest thing I have ever seen. Well, just give it
a listen.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Hi, Rabbi, Rabbi Hi, Rabbi, Hi, Rabbi Hi.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We're among the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who've been
out door knocking and phone banking to Alexi ran Mamdani.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
We're also rabbis.
Speaker 11 (12:16):
We know, zoranable fight to make our city affordable and
safe for our families.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
And for our neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
As New Yorkers, we're also just people who live here
who don't want to get priced out of this incredible
city that we call home.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
We know fellow Jews want to be able to afford housing, transportation,
and childcare for their families too.
Speaker 11 (12:40):
As Jews, as rabbis, as New Yorkers, we believe that
all people deserve to thrive.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Zoran agrees. But let's get real.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
This isn't only about belief, it's about action.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
So let's build a flourishing city together.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Let's lean That chant sounds like something out of a
sci fi movie. Do you have that lights like Corod.
Let's elect Zorn.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Lights A like Coron lights, A like Coad lights A
like Corod.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, all right, lights like Corod. You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't think we've covered this. I keep meaning to.
It would be so cliche if it were a mob movie.
Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups was among a number
of people charged in an illegal poker operation tied to
the mafia. Investigators say the poker games were rigged with
card reading contact lenses, X ray poker games, trays of
(13:43):
poker chips that read cards, and hacked shuffling machines that
predict hands. Thirty one people arrested in eleven states, including
members and associates of the Banano, Gambino and Genovese organized
crime families, which are part of LaCOSA Nostra. Chauncey Billups
(14:05):
and Damon Jones, also known as d former NBA players
a big part of this. You cannot believe this is
actually real, but it is.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
Prosecutors alleged Billups, who coached the Blazers season opener on Wednesday,
and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Damon Jones were paid to
lure unsuspecting victims to high stakes poker games. Mobsters, including
from the Gambino, Genovese Luqes, and Bonano crime families, allegedly
referred to the celebrity athletes as face cards and the
(14:37):
victims as phish.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
What the victims the fish didn't know is.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
That everybody else at the poker game, from the dealer
to the players, including the face cards, were i on
the scam.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Prosecutors showing off technology they say the mafia used to
rig the games, including an altered card shuffling machine and
an X ray poker table that could read cards face
down the game's allegedly cheating victims out of more than
seven million dollars. Rosier, a guard for the Miami Heat,
charged in a separate indictment involving illegal sports betting.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Terry Rosier right for this comfort doubtful to return.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
It, Prosecutors pointing to this play in March twenty twenty
three as evidence that Rosier profited after tipping betters that
he planned to leave the game early wagers, allegedly totaling
over two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 14 (15:30):
His career is already benched, not for injury but for integrity.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Damon Jones is a defendant in both cases. He was
an unofficial assistant coach for the LA Lakers in twenty
twenty three and is accused of selling privileged information that
a prominent NBA player would miss a game due to
an existing injury, a source telling ESPN that player was
Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
That's not you know, mince words.
Speaker 15 (15:54):
This is the insider trading saga for the NBA.
Speaker 16 (15:58):
That's what this is.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We're out of five teachers surveyed said listening to the
Michael Berry Show podcast improved their love life.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
The fifth person didn't deserve one anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The great Value Obama a Keem Jeffries that means the
poor men's Obama, of course, was on MSNBC claiming that
Democrats will investigate what will they investigate the number of
illegal aliens who've come here and raped our children, murdered
our wives. Nah, they're going to investigate who's donating money
(16:36):
to the People's House, the New White House ballroom.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yep, they're going to get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Anyone who dares to donate money so that taxpayers don't
have to pay for the ballroom.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We're going to harass them.
Speaker 17 (16:54):
Well likely this is part of what Donald Trump has
been doing since day one of his presidency, running the
largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country,
and probably soliciting donations from people who've got business before
the United States government. And all of this is going
to have to be investigated. It will, all of this
(17:15):
will have to be uncovered. It will, and these people
are going to be held accountable no.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Matter how long it takes.
Speaker 17 (17:23):
That's going to be the reality of the situation. And
that's our warning to all of these people participating in
the scheming to manipulate taxpayer dollars and of course to
destroy the People's House. The White House belongs to the
American people. It doesn't belong to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
That same idiot was on Face the Nation where Margaret
Brennan actually practiced a moment of journalism and asked him
about the Democrats jerrymandering in blue states. I mean, this
is it's just really surprising, I must admit, really surprising.
Speaker 12 (18:04):
I want to ask you about something you said. You said, Democrats,
there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.
You said that back in January, but recently you've been
using the term rigged elections in reference to the upcoming midterms.
Democrats were appalled when President Trump used language like that,
How do you justify using that?
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Now?
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Doesn't that undermine faith for voters? You need to show up.
Speaker 17 (18:29):
No, I've been using that term in the context of
Donald Trump's unprecedented effort to jerry mann their congressional maps
in a partisan fashion all across the country in order
to rig the midterm elections and deny the ability of
the American people to actually decide who should be in
(18:50):
the majority as it relates to the House of.
Speaker 12 (18:52):
You know, Democrats are also going through clear through jerry
mandering and redistricting.
Speaker 17 (18:58):
No, no, no, Democrats are going to push back aggressively
to make sure that we have fair maps across the country,
not partisan gerrymandering, which Republicans have initiated in state after
state after state.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
CNBC's Rebecca Quick asked the same Hakeem Jeffries, why Democrats
didn't extend the Obamacare credits back when they controlled the
House and Senate and the White House.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
If it was so important, why didn't y'all.
Speaker 14 (19:30):
Do it what you are asking the Republicans to do
right now when they control the White House, the Senate,
and the House is effectively what the Democrats could not
do when they controlled all three of those heads of
government themselves. The ten year set up for this for
these the three years set up for the expiration of
(19:54):
these credits was intentionally put in. It was put in
when you controlled the White House, the House, and the
you couldn't get it passed for longer. And so this
is a setup, the kind of your own creation that
you all couldn't extend beyond that. Now you want the
Republicans to do something you didn't do when you were in.
Speaker 17 (20:10):
Power, It's not a setup beyond what we could do.
We extended the Affordable Care Act tax credits in twenty
twenty two for three years. The program is working. It's
providing healthcare to tens of millions of people in an
affordable way, and it should be continued. It's interesting to
(20:30):
us that Republicans decided that they would prefer to permanently
extend massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors in their
One Big Ugly Bill.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Democrat Congressman from Colorado Jason Crowe was on CNN with
Kate Bettingfield when he said Democrats have always been at
the table, always ready to negotiate.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She's so silly, it's so performative.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
We've been sitting here trying to get this done from
the beginning.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Please don't say we haven't.
Speaker 18 (21:07):
Where Democrats will have to cry uncle these food snap
benefits run out. In the past, Democrats have argued policy
change is not something you should shut down the government over.
That should be a different place where it is negotiated.
In what world would democrats decide to come to the table.
Speaker 15 (21:27):
Listen, Democrats have already decided to come to the table.
That was on day one. We've always been at the table.
They have literally ineffectively shut the doors and shut us out.
Donald Trump himself said, don't deal with the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Don't even talk to them.
Speaker 15 (21:43):
He went on Fox and Friends and said that specifically.
That was his order to Mike Johnson. So I have
been here for seven years now. Every single year we've
passed a bipartisan funding bill. When we've passed it, and
that is the only way out, be bipartisan. And it
also has to have guardrails in place because of what
(22:04):
this president has shown himself to be and to do
in the last ten months, which is disregard Congress, disregard
the law, spend money however he wants to spend it. Right,
I have an obligation to my constituents into this country
and constitution not to give a blank check to a
president who's willing to spend money however he wants. That's
not how the constitution works. So we are here, our
(22:26):
door is open, We're ready to negotiate. That is the
only way out of this. But Donald Trump has to
come home from his overseas trip. He has to stop
focusing on the plans and the blueprints for his two hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Million dollar ballroom.
Speaker 15 (22:39):
He has to stop buying one hundred and seventy million
dollars of jets for Christy Nome. He has to stop
wasting all the money that he's wasting buying cattle from
Argentina to bail out one of his strong man friends
and undermine.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
The US cattle market.
Speaker 15 (22:55):
He has to stop all of that, and he has
to tell Mike Johnson to come to the table so
we can fix the Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I had planned on doing Kevin Frye after that in
my prep. But let's skip to Chuck Schumer for a moment.
As we're talking about the Schumer shutdown and the effect
it had on the Democrats' Let's hear from Chuck himself.
He says, every American should be frightened that the president
(23:22):
is being shielded by the press.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Ah, yes, that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
The press is being overly nice to Donald Trump. You know,
these people are capable of saying literally anything. It's shocking, like,
no shame.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
I would ask my colleague one of the greatest blows
to democracy when we don't have a fully free press,
and has it been a hallmark of so many of
the countries that he has mentioned that are autocracies or
absolute dictatorships, to have no free press so no information
can come outtic And doesn't that dramatically hurt the American
(23:55):
people when government is shielded and can do whatever it
wants and hurt as many people as it wants because
you don't have a free press. Doesn't it really frightened?
Shouldn't it really frighten every American that this is a
large step on the road away from democracy towards tyranny
(24:17):
and towards authority.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Here the muckle berry.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You are to ring the King's English. Jimmy Waltz is
in it again with you, and I'm exhausted. The left
is on a mission to blame the right, that's you
for absolutely everything, the shutdown, ice clouds, the heat, the cold,
(24:49):
the rich, the poor, the water, the evaporation.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Now they're upset.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They got to keep throwing stuff against the wall at
Trump that he's renovating the White House with private dollars,
you know, making it better.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
How awful of him?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The talk of Trump constructing a grand ballroom out of
his own pocket and with private donations, that's just unbearable. Well,
our good friend Timmy Waltz has his podcast and we
keep talking about it because boil Boy is it good?
(25:29):
And he's kind of torn on whether to be mad
or glad because we know Timmy Watts enjoys a good ballroom.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Somebody tripped me some bass.
Speaker 19 (25:45):
One tenth of America hits your boy, City Walls connecting
with the white man's car.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Who's got the slack, who's got the plan.
Speaker 17 (25:57):
Walls?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
He's the man, a man.
Speaker 19 (26:02):
With a mic in his hand and a lass of
he's hopping wisdom. Punky walt playo game.
Speaker 15 (26:12):
To me Wall.
Speaker 19 (26:14):
Okay, how what a week it's been America? First, I
don't want to be remiss, and i'd mentioned are great
friends down in the Montrose Houston in Texas. I mean
those mean monsters that covered up that rainbow walkway. I say,
screw those guys, maybe twice. Well, the Montrose Mafia. They
(26:37):
showed them. They painted right back over where it was.
And that's a big fat rainbow to the rear for
all those against us. Let's give those rainbow wranglers a big.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Walls a clause.
Speaker 16 (26:49):
And now we better get to the matter at hand,
the big mean Donald J.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Trump renovating the East Wing. I know, I know, just
the thought of renovating one of the oldest buildings in America.
Speaker 16 (27:01):
Gives me the gbies And I'm mad. But i gotta
tell you, guys, I'm also torn like a flower on
this one. Did you know the East Wing is home
to a fabulous ballroom.
Speaker 19 (27:12):
Oh, I've been to so many wonderful big balls in
the White House over the years.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But now Trump is tearing it down, but he wants
to make it a bigger, better ballroom.
Speaker 19 (27:22):
We're in for bigger, better balls for years to come, guys.
I mean, I'm excited, but I mean I'm also mad
because Trump is a.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Mean man, but better balls are best for all. Such
a dilemma. T wall Well. Join us next week as
we welcome a blast from.
Speaker 19 (27:41):
The past, a man with two names, Barney Frank, and
he talks about all the balls he's seen in the
White House over the bolder man with the groove instead.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's fascinating to me that that's who they chose to
bring in straight white, rural mall voters. That tells you
how out of touch they really are. So I've been
really focused on trying to sleep more, and it's hard
(28:13):
for me. My wife has made an excuse for me
that I've lashed on too lately, and she said, well,
that's just a trait you inherited from your mother. My
mother liked to stay up too late, and then she
was struggled get up in the morning. And so my
wife has made that excuse for me, and I'm using
it as a crutch. It is not uncommon for me
(28:33):
to stay up till three o'clock in the morning. That's
a stupid thing to do. It is my ultimate vice.
It is so bad for your health, but it's my
superpower that I've always been able to go on literally
two hours sleep and function without people knowing it, but
(28:55):
what you do to your body. The woman who Amy Farmer,
a dermatologist who was on our tripped upon beach. My
wife organized a brunch, a lady's brunch, and she had
her speak about hair and dermatological issues, and she's kind
of unconventional health and wellness as well as dermatology. And
so my wife said, what's a single most important thing
(29:16):
for good skin care? And she said sleep. My wife
was so excited because she's a big believer right now,
and number two is water hydration. So sleep is a
big deal. So this has been my big kick of late.
And so two days ago I went to bed early
for me eleven o'clock. I got a good night of sleep,
(29:41):
and I got up for me good night sleep, and
I got no what a bet? At ten I got
up and I should have been rested compared to when
I normally go to bed, but I wasn't, and I
was dragging all day. And so this morning I got
up and I made a joke about how my wife
(30:04):
said she hadn't slept well we'd gone to bed even earlier,
and I said, well, if I'd stayed up later, And
it was like a it was a very guy joke,
and I realized that I thought I was very funny
because it's these forty five minutes sleep cycles. So I said, well,
if i'd set up to one fifteen, I would have
stayed on my sleep cycle and I would have been well.
And I realized that men and women have such different
(30:27):
things that we find funny not to mention. And I
know I'm going to piss women off, so just calm
down for a minute, because you're not going to like
what I'm saying. That doesn't mean it's not true. It
got me to thinking being at that women's brunch, one
of only two guys there, and watching how women interact
versus how men interact. We are so dramatically different. It's
(30:52):
why I like to have my time with my wife,
movie time, dinner time, go for a walk, take a vacation.
But I also liked to have time with the dudes.
I don't really care to hunt or fish, but I'll
go on a trip just because it's got time. Poker night,
it's not about the poker. Spending time with the fellas.
We smoked cigars together. It's about spending time with the fellas.
(31:12):
That's a very different interaction, and women don't tend to
interact like that.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
They'd like to think they do.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They'll gather together because the husbands are on a hunting trip,
so the women are like, well, let's all get together
because the men are away.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But they argue they don't get along.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It's not part of their DNA for almost all women,
whereas men need that. And organizations of men sports, military
traditionally corporate, but that changed, always had a different vibe.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Now, look, my wife was a professional. I was proud
for her.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I appreciated the men who treated her as a fellow professional,
Mark Watts, Rick Bays, you name it, all of them did.
They were so good to her. But there is a
difference in an environment when it's men only. That's why
Lokanvar for so many years was men only. Women couldn't
be on them. And I understand that makes women feel
left out, but they are being left out, not because
(32:10):
you hate women, but because the absence of women in
the presence of men creates a different environment. And again,
I'm going to say things that make people uncomfortable, but
it doesn't make them untrue, and I believe them to
be true. I'm not being provocative I might be provoking you,
but I'm not trying to. I'm telling you that there
is a way that men speak when it's men only.
(32:33):
There is a way that men kid when it's men only.
There is in a spree decor when it's men only.
We don't want that to be the entirety.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Of our life.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
We don't want that to be all we have. It's
a component of our life. And I got to thinking
to myself with that in mind. The reason Kamala Harris
couldn't beat Donald Trump. Who would you want coaching your
football team? Who would you want running your business? And
it's very very simple. I mean that wasn't even a
competition yet.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Els nights, duly, thank you, and good night,
