Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show is on the air officially turned around.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Guys, we are back, baby, we are back.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
We are back, plastic, we are back.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yes, that look America.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, it's day day days.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Day where we just take a look at at it,
at all the federal agencies and say, do we really
need whatever it is?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Four hundred and.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Twenty eight federal agencies? Like, there's so many that people
have never heard of, and that half overlapping areas of responsibility.
We should I don't know, Probably we should get I mean,
there are more federal agencies than there are years since
the established in the United States, which means that we've
created more than one federal.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Agency per year on average.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
That seems a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
That's a lot, So we.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Should have that seems crazy. I think we should be
able to get away.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
With nineteen nine agencies. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
That seems a lot, like a lot of agencies a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Following I got a message to the mains of illegal
as that Joe Bien's releasing our country in violation of
federal law.
Speaker 8 (01:57):
You better start packing now. You're damn right, because you're
going home I got another message, another message to the
colonel Cartels in Mexico. You're smuggling not that off across
this country to kill one hundred and forty eight thousand
(02:18):
young Americans. You have killed more Americans than every terrorist
organization in the world combined. And that's when President Trump
gets back in office, he's going to designate to you
a terrorist organization. He's going to wipe you off the
face of the.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Your You're done.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
You're done.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
There's a chance to course corrected, but it would take
the new Trump administration going after it really hard.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
How would they correct it?
Speaker 9 (03:00):
Or all you gotta fire, you know, you gotta fire
the Chairman of Joint Chiefs and you gotta fire this.
I mean, obviously gonna bring in a new Secretary Defense.
But any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that
was involved in any of the DEI WOP, it's gotta go.
Either you're in for war fighting that and that's it.
That's the only litmus tests we care about.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You got to get DEI and c RT out.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
Of military academies so you're not training young officers to
be baptized in this type of thinking.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
And then you know, whatever the standards, whatever the combat
standards were saying, I don't know nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Let's just make those the standards.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
And as far as recruiting to hire the guy that
you know did top gun Maverick and create some real
ads that motivate people that want to serve.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Ask any veteran while they serve. Ask a veteran while
they served. It was a huge number of people went
and listed after nine to eleven. Don't underestimate the power
of the earned media and the sense that the nation
was coming together behind this, and these young men said,
(04:09):
shave my head, humiliate me, ridicule me, break me down,
to build me up, and send me off to kick
their ass.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And that happened. That's what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's why the armed forces spend all this money doing
flyovers at football games. How sheeted did you feel when
you found out they were paying for that man? That's
my natural emotion. I see guys, I see decent, honorable
(04:45):
people who left their homes and went and served our country.
And I feel it's a dishonor, or has been a
dishonor for quite some time, that our military is run
in large part by a bunch of grifters. These guys
deserve better than that, going to wars that we're not
(05:07):
intending to win, using tactics that are not intended to win,
sacrificing our lives while the American taxpayer is paying.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The burden for a europe that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Does nothing but criticize and enjoy the fruits of our success.
I told you earlier in the show how fired up
I am about Pete hegseeth, Well, this is going to
be clip number five oh two. It's just him on
The Sean Ryan Show, a very good podcast, by the way,
The Shawan Ryan Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Here he is.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I mean, just to hear somebody saying these things that
I have felt for so long. I'm not trying to
say he's stealing my words at all. I'm saying I
have views on these things, and these are views that
you don't hear other people of spouse. And when you
hear here's someone espouse these views, it makes you know,
(06:04):
at least I'm not crazy. There is hope out there.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
The Pentagon is in the book the exact amount of years,
but in the past X number of years, ten, twelve, fifteen,
the Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its
war games against China, we lose every time inside the
Pentagon wargames.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
We know what our real capability.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
You see, we didn't even get to this part of the.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
War on warriors.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
I mean the military industrial conflet the way we procure
weapons systems, you know, we're always the way our system works,
the way our bureaucratic system works, where the speed of
weapons procurement works. We're always a decade behind and fighting
the last war. Whereas China there we have a we
have you know what Romsfeldt say, you go to the
war of the army, you have we have the army
(06:51):
China's building an army specifically dedicated to defeating the United
States of America. That is, that is their strategic outset.
Take hypersonic missiles. So if our whole, if our whole
power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to
project power that way strategically around the globe. And yeah,
we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but
a big part of it. And if you know, fifteen
(07:11):
hypersonic mixles can take out our ten aircraft carriers in
the first twenty minutes of a conflict. What does that
look like I mean, and when they're if they've already
got us by the balls economically, which you pointed out
very well with our grid. Culturally, there's plenty of elite
capture going on around the globe, I mean, and then
(07:33):
microchips and everything. Why do they want Taiwan? They want
a corner the market completely on the technological future and
can't even drive our cars without the stuff we need
out of China these days. I mean, they have a
full spectrum, a long term view of not just regional
but global domination.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
And we are we have our heads up our asses.
It feels like.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Our service members have an advocate again. It feels like
the guys on the ground fighting the wars, it feels
like they've got an advocate for the first time in
a long time who values them, respects them.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
This man Bravo, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Pet Tegfish Voice.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Guitars, Cigars, and a few thoughts from Bizarre.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
On Michael Verry Show, a listener who, based on her name,
is a woman.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Sent me a post by some woman. I don't know
this woman.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
She posts under the name sarf Fati esther. She's an
attractive woman. She's had a lot of work done she's
had an amount of work done that you kind of go,
whoa h, just so I know you're not gonna have
any more done, are you?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Like addiction level work.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's sort of like when you have a friend and
they're two hundred and sixty five pounds and then they
lose one hundred and ten pounds and you go, wait,
you look great, congratulations, but how about you not lose anymore?
And especially with women, You see women they've always had
(09:29):
a little they've always been carrying a little lecture to
bother them. And whatever they've done, maybe they got on
the manjarro or the ozempic or some one of the
semiglue tides, or maybe just maybe few and far between,
but maybe just maybe they started working out and eating
right and they learned about how their body works. But
you see that they've lost so much weight that you're
(09:51):
starting to get into caring carpenter territory and you go, oh, man,
check the teeth and see if they've been throwing up
or not, or is this straight up anorexia? I always
figured herman, if I was going to have an eating disorder,
i'd rather it be bolima than anorexia, because anorexia is painful.
I mean, you just just I just won't eat right.
(10:13):
But Bolimia that appeals to me. And I think every
fat person has a little respect for Boleimix because you go,
you know, I get you, because I'm believing I just
forget to put right anyway, So this was sent to me.
I don't know why I felt the need to comment
(10:34):
on this woman's presentation, her appearance. It has nothing to
do with it, but she is an attractive woman. She's
kind of made up, and the scene that she creates
is kind of like a nineteen fifties Mad Men era deal,
where you know, the woman is waiting at home and
heels and the dress and the kids are all, you know,
(10:56):
perfectly done, and she's perfectly coeftent. She's putting the meal
on the on the table and she's got an apron
and in the moment she's gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Take it off, and she's just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Right. It is advice for women about when your man
gets home. Now, I know a lot of women don't
want to hear this because a lot of women are
like in the Taming of the Shrew, a character played
by Elizabeth Taylor. I'm gonna tell you something, women who
take care of their husbands are taken care of by
(11:26):
their husbands. And women who have been fed this nonsense
by these feminazis about you shouldn't be kind to your
husband or he'll trample you, he won't respect you. That's
not true. The opposite of that is true. Women are
valued and respected by their husbands because they are worthy
(11:47):
of it. Anyway, I thought this was some good advice
taker for what it's worth.
Speaker 11 (11:53):
But a man comes home from work, there's only one
thing he really wants. He wants to have a little
bit of peace and quiet. And if you have some
thing you want to discuss with him, and all day
you've been waiting for him to finally come home, please
wait a little bit. Because there's one thing many women
don't understand about men. Men are supposed to solve problems
all day and every day they have to go out
(12:13):
into the world and do their best to make money
because otherwise they're being.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Seen as a loser.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
But men also get tired, and if they just go
from problems at work to problems at.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Home, they never get a break.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
And I'm not saying that you shouldn't share any problems
with him, but what you could do as a woman
is to wait at the door, give him a kiss,
ask him how his day was, let him unwind, prepare
him a drink, and start talking to him after half
an hour. When you do that, you make him feel
better about himself because you give him space to relax
and to just think of nothing if he wants to,
(12:44):
because the last thing you want is to bombard him
at the door already with everything that's been happening, and
that you need his help, and he will probably try
to solve it for you, but the only reason is
that he wants to get it over with so that
you are finally quiet.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We have made a conscious decision last couple of days
to spend less time on the Democrat meltdown because I
think we've got to be positive. We're not in a
campaign anymore, and it's very hard to pivot. We all
get we all get caught up in this thing where
where we're fighting the Democrats every day, and so we
(13:20):
got to tear them down, tear them down, tear them down.
The election is over. We got to build up the country.
Doesn't mean we have to be nice to the Democrats,
but they're gonna melt down. They're nuts. This is the
reason they lost the election. But I am going to
violate my rule and tell you this. CNN's Van Jones
made a statement, and you got to realize this was
an Obama guy. This is a race baiting Democrat, and
(13:46):
for him to say what he says on CNN, I
think I think it's a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
If you're the Democrats, what are you gonna do for
the next two years?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
How why are we here?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
There's nothing.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
If you're a Democrat, all we can say is we
hope that Susy decides that she's gonna take a long vacation,
that they hire some terrible people and make some mistakes
to give us a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Right now, they had everything.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
They got the Supreme Court, they got the Electoral College,
they got the House, they got probably they got the Senate,
they got the populative vote, and we're just sitting here
with the dunce cap on.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Last time.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
Last week, we thought we were the smartest people in
the world. We thought Donald Trump was an idiot, We
thought his campaign made no sense, and it turned out
they were smarter than us. And we don't have anything
to say. You know, I can sit here and pretend
I know something here's what I know. Everybody I know
is miserable. Everybody's on these zoom calls. Nobody's got any
good ideas, and we're gonna take us a while to
figure this out. I'm not good at coming in here
and faking and pretending like, no, we got wooked.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Man, you gonna go to the spa.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You need a massage and a cucoba, I agree, and
a cookie. Donald Trump visited the White House today, and
if you you can go online and see it, Joe
Biden looks happier than I have seen him in years.
(15:11):
He was clearly enjoying this meeting. Trump was very at ease,
very relaxed, affable, jocular. They genuinely seem to be having
a good time. You can juxtapose that to the video
(15:31):
of when Trump went to the White House in sixteen
at the end of the Obama administration, and Obama looks constipated.
Of course, I guess if you had to be married
to Michelle Obama, you'd be pretty miserable too. I still
hold tight to the likelihood that Biden and Trump cut
(15:55):
a deal, that Biden determined he was going to help
Trump and sabotage Kamala.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I don't think that's why Trump won. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Trump was gonna win on his own because of you.
But I do think Biden undercut her. And if you
haven't seen that video when Kamala comes and sits down
with Doug next to next to Joe Biden, and Joe
Biden never flinches, never looks at her.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Oh it's icy. I love it. Bizarre of talk radio
the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, I said I wouldn't focus on Democrat meltdown, and
I'm certainly not of any interest to help the Democrats rebuild.
But James Carville is something of a savant for them.
He like the crazy guy that lives up on a
hill and they go up there and ask him for
his advice, you know, like Creole Williams, and he tells
(16:55):
them about the dust on the bottle. James Carvill. James
Carvill comes out the rage in Cajun. He comes off
as crazy. He looks kind of like Yoda or something tyre.
But he's very well respected because he and Paul Bagala
were the architects of the Clinton win in nineteen ninety two,
(17:17):
and that was the rebuilding of the Democrat Party. Remember
remember what was going on in ninety two, Reagan won
in eighty Reagan won in eighty four, and then Reagan
passes the baton to his vice president, George H. W. Bush,
who in nineteen ninety two, the year of his reelection,
which is going to be sixteen years when he wins,
(17:38):
sixteen years of Republican leadership. He's sitting on the highest
poll numbers that have ever been seen for a sitting
president since polling began, at over ninety percent with the
with the Iraq situation. Carvil comes in and he and
Paul Bagala had uh orchestrated did Bob Casey win in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Was it case Was it? Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold
on holder. So Pennsylvania had a Republican senator who was
John Hines. Heines died in a UH plane crash or
car crash. And then Casey was not the candidate. Casey
(18:31):
was the governor and he appointed a guy who ran
for reelection but he's not supposed to win, and that
was uh.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Harris Woolford.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And Dick Thornberg who had been was Thornberg.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
A g ramon?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, he was Oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Racking my brain. It's too far back to go. I
think he was the governor too. But anyway, Begala and
Carvel were the masterminds of a Democrat win in a
state that was leaning Republican. And then Bill Clinton brings
them in to run his campaign and they beat Bush
(19:18):
and the Democrats were back. Oh my goodness. So Carvel
is something of a genius to these people. He's this
wise savant. It's kind of like Einstein was viewed. Nobody
really wants him at the dinner party, but you go
(19:40):
to him when you have a problem that needs to
be solved. You know, it's like a back to the future.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Movies always had that, the guy who kind of lives
out there and the young people can't figure out the problem.
So you go to him and you give him all
the information. And that's how they that's how you tell
that's how they tell you. The plot of the movie
is they give him all the information so he can
make a decision and he says, ah, yes, this sounds
(20:09):
like and then he gives you the answer to your problem.
Well that is James Carvil. So listen to James Carvill.
Tell Christian I'm a poor She didn't like to hear this.
Y'all need to do away with your identity politics. Why
(20:30):
is this important? Identity politics? Or a cancer on America.
It's also a reason they can't win elections, by the way,
because we've had enough.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
But if.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Solving the problems of this country are going to mean
that we have to face the resistance and push through it.
But it also means that Democrats, once they are defeated,
are within their own camp going to have to take
back their party from the Progressives, from the race vaters,
from Black Lives Matter, from AOC. This is a good
(21:03):
sign that Carvil is calling for this because there are
going to be Democrats who are now going to go, hey, guys,
we let the party get away from us. We cannot
do these crazy things anymore. So look, I don't want
the Democrats to move back to the middle and win elections.
I don't, but the Democrats that are in office pulling
(21:28):
back on some of these policies will be good for
life in America because what's bigger to me than just
winning elections is how we live our day to day lives.
I want the Democrats to govern better. I want California
to be less crazy. You see what I'm saying. I
don't want it to just be Well, it's good they
(21:49):
stay crazy, because then we win all the elections, but
we still have to live through them running the local
and state governments that they do. Anyway, here's what Carvel
had to say.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
And there is also an idea that America is still
not ready for a female president. But last spring you said,
you know, a suspicion of mine is that there are
too many preachy females dominating the culture of the Democratic Party.
Do you do you stand by that females?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Would you look?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Would you look at our male vote? Would you would
somebody just take a look at how we did with
males and how we did with non white males and
tell me that the Democrats don't have a messaging problem,
that their message comes across is too feminine.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I mean, of course, it was right when I said that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I don't think there's not a person in the world
I've talked to that doubts that I'm right right now. Okay, Jamie,
I say provocative things to get a provocative reaction. Yeah,
but are you really are somebody going to really tell
me we don't have a problem with male voters.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Well, that's really interesting because.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Tell me something.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I'm completely are aw era.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
No, I'm going to read you the stats as you know,
well you know the stats. One in three voters of
color voted for Trump. Trump carried Hispanic men by ten points.
Trump improved his support with younger voters compared with twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And you're right, he.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Did win the male vote.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
So I just need to understand this because what are
you saying, then the Democrats need to do about the
so called gender gap.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
What should they do?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, first thing, they could have done a lot of
muscular economic messaging that we didn't do.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
We could have been increased the minimum.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Wage to fifteen dollars an hour. We could have talked
more about raising taxes on incomes above four one thousand
and using that money to help young people buy a house.
We can certainly shovel the entire identitary identity politics about
fifty feet in the ground and bury it. I mean,
(23:56):
you can start by doing things like that. You could
you could have got out in front of the crime issue, which,
by the way, to crime break the United States is
down historical out by thirty percent. But we were not
able to talk about crime because the woke police will
not allow that. In one of the great accomplishments of
(24:18):
the Biden Harris administration. So there's a lot of things
you can do, and you can you can change your
language around, you know, don't use coded language. And it's
going to take. Like I said, it'll take one cycle
before we can wash this smell off of our shirt.
But I think it a good chance to act correctly.
(24:42):
It'll be gone by twenty six and it'll be gone
by twenty eight. But please know, anybody like infer to
me that we did well with males because we did.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Not snowflakes, did I prepare for a complete meltdown.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
It's more of the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
If you've been around the show for a little while now,
you know that we like to have a little fun
the last segment or two, a little whimsy at the
end of our day that we hope you can take
home with you. And today what I would like to
(25:22):
do is play for you what is kind of intellectual
porn for us here on the station, here at the
show should I say?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That is a list by Senator James Langford from Oklahoma
of some of the dumbest uses of your tax dollars. Now,
the reason I play this is they're going to try
to destroy I, vivk Ramaswami and Elon Musk because they
have now been given a carte blanche, a diplomatic pass
(26:02):
to be able to run them up within the government
and say we're going to stop that. Remember, Elon's a
guy who bought Twitter, walked in and laid off seventy
five percent of it and improved it. This guy makes
snap decisions. He is a decision maker and he hates waste.
(26:23):
So just remember that when they go after them, and
we will close with this.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
This is one of the.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Finest moments in recent history. We play this all the
time around the studio during the day.
Speaker 14 (26:35):
Last year of the State Department did a grant to
Ecuador to host twelve drag shows in Ecuador with American
tax dollars. Now, may have different opinions in this room
on drag shows. I'm just asking the simple question, is
the best use of American tax dollars to actually fund
(26:57):
drag shows in Ecuador with US tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't believe that it is.
Speaker 14 (27:05):
Last year, we actually did a different funding through the
State Department that was actually done. Actually, this is the
National Science Foundation. Excuse me strike that it seems like
a state department thing. National Science Foundation last year did
a study of butterflies.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
In Europe.
Speaker 14 (27:23):
So we funded with American taxpayer dollars a butterfly study
in Germany where we paid a Swedish scientist to study
butterflies in Germany.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I'm not really sure why American.
Speaker 14 (27:39):
Tax dollars that was the best use of that, but
that was one of the grants that.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Was done last year.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
Last year, there was also a NEA grant that was
done to set up a display in Brooklyn for the
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. By the way, it's
not even an American band. And I'm not sure why
we had to pay a federal tax dollars to be
able to do that. My simple question is always why
(28:06):
are tax dollars being taken out of Oklahoma to.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Be able to do that?
Speaker 14 (28:12):
Always popular We had an almost well three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars grant to study smart toilets was one
of the grants that we actually paid for with our
federal tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Last year.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
We also had a grant that was done studying colonial
Mexican soundscapes. I'm sure colonial Mexican soundscapes are fascinating, but
we paid for a researcher to travel to Mexico and
then to be able to write a series about the
sounds of colonial Mexico and how they.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Could be used to be able to influence communities.
Speaker 14 (28:50):
We last year did a study on helmets and seat
belts in Ghana to be able to study whether seat
belts and helmets were effective for saving lives in Ghana.
Can I just go ahead and answer that question for free?
Seat belts and helmets are a good idea, they save
(29:13):
lives free, I can go ahead and.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Give you that advice.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
How do I know that, because we've already spent millions
of dollars in other studies here in the United States,
But instead we spent money in Ghana studying helmets to
see if they're actually a good idea there, and amazingly
they discovered yes they are. There was also a grant
that was done last year. I've got to just walk
(29:37):
this one through.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
This was at the Springfield Museum of Art in Missouri.
Speaker 14 (29:41):
There was a grant to be on a display an
installation in the exhibit in the museum.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Called yoko Ono Men's Piece. Now, let me just read
this to you.
Speaker 14 (29:51):
It's a simple white room where shattered cups and saucers
are placed on a table and participants are asked to
mend the fragments together using common household items like twine, glue, scissors,
and tape, and the resulting works are displayed on nearby
shelves as evidence of the power of collective action. Again,
(30:15):
I'm not opposed to fixing broken saucers in a public
place and displaying them. All I'm asking is why did
Oklahomas work overtime last year to pay their tax bill
to fund doing the yoko Ono white room where people
fixed broken saucers.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't have a good answer for that yet.
Speaker 14 (30:39):
By the way, I'm still trying to be able to
get that. If you like wine country, great, you help
pay for it. One of the highest income areas in
the world is Napa Valley, California. One of the highest
income areas in the entire world. The good folks of
Oklahoma helped pay for a wine pedestrian trail through Napa
(31:01):
Valley because apparently Napa Valley didn't have enough cash to
be able to pay for the eight mile walking trail
through Wine Country, some of the most expensive real estate
in the entire world. So the taxpayers in Oklahoma had
to pay for that Wine Country tour trail. If you
like traveling to Hawaii, enjoy the trip when you get there.
(31:24):
If you go to a farmer's market, you'll find out
that you help pay for that farmer's market because the
farmers market in Hawaii received three point four million dollars
to be able to fund the farmer's market. If you
go to New York City and pay a very high
dollar ticket to get into a private location in the
Metropolitan Opera to be able to watch the opera, you
(31:45):
will feel safer, I'm sure when you go to the
Metropolitan Opera because almost three quarters of a million dollars
was given to the Metropolitan Opera in New York to
help them install a new fire suppression system with federal
tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
If you like traveling to Paris and you go.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
To a butcher shop in Paris, you may be fascinating
to know since the thirteenth century, apparently butchers in Paris
have come up with their own private language.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
It's like a super secret private.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
Language among butchers in Paris, fascinating for the French to study.
But unfortunately, the American taxpayers paid for a study of
French butcher's private language for fear that it is diminishing
and fading away. So the American tax dollars paid for
(32:38):
this study in France to study the secret language.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Of butchers in Paris. I can't tell you why.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Thank you, and
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show is on the air officially turned around.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Guys, we are back, baby, we are back.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
We are back, plastic, we are back.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yes, that look America.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, it's day day days.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Day where we just take a look at at it,
at all the federal agencies and say, do we really
need whatever it is?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Four hundred and.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Twenty eight federal agencies? Like, there's so many that people
have never heard of, and that half overlapping areas of responsibility.
We should I don't know, Probably we should get I mean,
there are more federal agencies than there are years since
the established in the United States, which means that we've
created more than one federal.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Agency per year on average.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
That seems a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
That's a lot, So we.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Should have that seems crazy. I think we should be
able to get away.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
With nineteen nine agencies. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
That seems a lot, like a lot of agencies a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Following I got a message to the mains of illegal
as that Joe Bien's releasing our country in violation of
federal law.
Speaker 8 (01:57):
You better start packing now. You're damn right, because you're
going home I got another message, another message to the
colonel Cartels in Mexico. You're smuggling not that off across
this country to kill one hundred and forty eight thousand
(02:18):
young Americans. You have killed more Americans than every terrorist
organization in the world combined. And that's when President Trump
gets back in office, he's going to designate to you
a terrorist organization. He's going to wipe you off the
face of the.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Your You're done.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
You're done.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
There's a chance to course corrected, but it would take
the new Trump administration going after it really hard.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
How would they correct it?
Speaker 9 (03:00):
Or all you gotta fire, you know, you gotta fire
the Chairman of Joint Chiefs and you gotta fire this.
I mean, obviously gonna bring in a new Secretary Defense.
But any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that
was involved in any of the DEI WOP, it's gotta go.
Either you're in for war fighting that and that's it.
That's the only litmus tests we care about.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You got to get DEI and c RT out.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
Of military academies so you're not training young officers to
be baptized in this type of thinking.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
And then you know, whatever the standards, whatever the combat
standards were saying, I don't know nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Let's just make those the standards.
Speaker 9 (03:33):
And as far as recruiting to hire the guy that
you know did top gun Maverick and create some real
ads that motivate people that want to serve.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Ask any veteran while they serve. Ask a veteran while
they served. It was a huge number of people went
and listed after nine to eleven. Don't underestimate the power
of the earned media and the sense that the nation
was coming together behind this, and these young men said,
(04:09):
shave my head, humiliate me, ridicule me, break me down,
to build me up, and send me off to kick
their ass.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And that happened. That's what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's why the armed forces spend all this money doing
flyovers at football games. How sheeted did you feel when
you found out they were paying for that man? That's
my natural emotion. I see guys, I see decent, honorable
(04:45):
people who left their homes and went and served our country.
And I feel it's a dishonor, or has been a
dishonor for quite some time, that our military is run
in large part by a bunch of grifters. These guys
deserve better than that, going to wars that we're not
(05:07):
intending to win, using tactics that are not intended to win,
sacrificing our lives while the American taxpayer is paying.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
The burden for a europe that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Does nothing but criticize and enjoy the fruits of our success.
I told you earlier in the show how fired up
I am about Pete hegseeth, Well, this is going to
be clip number five oh two. It's just him on
The Sean Ryan Show, a very good podcast, by the way,
The Shawan Ryan Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Here he is.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I mean, just to hear somebody saying these things that
I have felt for so long. I'm not trying to
say he's stealing my words at all. I'm saying I
have views on these things, and these are views that
you don't hear other people of spouse. And when you
hear here's someone espouse these views, it makes you know,
(06:04):
at least I'm not crazy. There is hope out there.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
The Pentagon is in the book the exact amount of years,
but in the past X number of years, ten, twelve, fifteen,
the Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its
war games against China, we lose every time inside the
Pentagon wargames.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
We know what our real capability.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
You see, we didn't even get to this part of the.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
War on warriors.
Speaker 9 (06:29):
I mean the military industrial conflet the way we procure
weapons systems, you know, we're always the way our system works,
the way our bureaucratic system works, where the speed of
weapons procurement works. We're always a decade behind and fighting
the last war. Whereas China there we have a we
have you know what Romsfeldt say, you go to the
war of the army, you have we have the army
(06:51):
China's building an army specifically dedicated to defeating the United
States of America. That is, that is their strategic outset.
Take hypersonic missiles. So if our whole, if our whole
power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to
project power that way strategically around the globe. And yeah,
we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but
a big part of it. And if you know, fifteen
(07:11):
hypersonic mixles can take out our ten aircraft carriers in
the first twenty minutes of a conflict. What does that
look like I mean, and when they're if they've already
got us by the balls economically, which you pointed out
very well with our grid. Culturally, there's plenty of elite
capture going on around the globe, I mean, and then
(07:33):
microchips and everything. Why do they want Taiwan? They want
a corner the market completely on the technological future and
can't even drive our cars without the stuff we need
out of China these days. I mean, they have a
full spectrum, a long term view of not just regional
but global domination.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
And we are we have our heads up our asses.
It feels like.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Our service members have an advocate again. It feels like
the guys on the ground fighting the wars, it feels
like they've got an advocate for the first time in
a long time who values them, respects them.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
This man Bravo, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Pet Tegfish Voice.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Guitars, Cigars, and a few thoughts from Bizarre.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
On Michael Verry Show, a listener who, based on her name,
is a woman.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Sent me a post by some woman. I don't know
this woman.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
She posts under the name sarf Fati esther. She's an
attractive woman. She's had a lot of work done she's
had an amount of work done that you kind of go,
whoa h, just so I know you're not gonna have
any more done, are you?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Like addiction level work.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's sort of like when you have a friend and
they're two hundred and sixty five pounds and then they
lose one hundred and ten pounds and you go, wait,
you look great, congratulations, but how about you not lose anymore?
And especially with women, You see women they've always had
(09:29):
a little they've always been carrying a little lecture to
bother them. And whatever they've done, maybe they got on
the manjarro or the ozempic or some one of the
semiglue tides, or maybe just maybe few and far between,
but maybe just maybe they started working out and eating
right and they learned about how their body works. But
you see that they've lost so much weight that you're
(09:51):
starting to get into caring carpenter territory and you go, oh, man,
check the teeth and see if they've been throwing up
or not, or is this straight up anorexia? I always
figured herman, if I was going to have an eating disorder,
i'd rather it be bolima than anorexia, because anorexia is painful.
I mean, you just just I just won't eat right.
(10:13):
But Bolimia that appeals to me. And I think every
fat person has a little respect for Boleimix because you go,
you know, I get you, because I'm believing I just
forget to put right anyway, So this was sent to me.
I don't know why I felt the need to comment
(10:34):
on this woman's presentation, her appearance. It has nothing to
do with it, but she is an attractive woman. She's
kind of made up, and the scene that she creates
is kind of like a nineteen fifties Mad Men era deal,
where you know, the woman is waiting at home and
heels and the dress and the kids are all, you know,
(10:56):
perfectly done, and she's perfectly coeftent. She's putting the meal
on the on the table and she's got an apron
and in the moment she's gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Take it off, and she's just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Right. It is advice for women about when your man
gets home. Now, I know a lot of women don't
want to hear this because a lot of women are
like in the Taming of the Shrew, a character played
by Elizabeth Taylor. I'm gonna tell you something, women who
take care of their husbands are taken care of by
(11:26):
their husbands. And women who have been fed this nonsense
by these feminazis about you shouldn't be kind to your
husband or he'll trample you, he won't respect you. That's
not true. The opposite of that is true. Women are
valued and respected by their husbands because they are worthy
(11:47):
of it. Anyway, I thought this was some good advice
taker for what it's worth.
Speaker 11 (11:53):
But a man comes home from work, there's only one
thing he really wants. He wants to have a little
bit of peace and quiet. And if you have some
thing you want to discuss with him, and all day
you've been waiting for him to finally come home, please
wait a little bit. Because there's one thing many women
don't understand about men. Men are supposed to solve problems
all day and every day they have to go out
(12:13):
into the world and do their best to make money
because otherwise they're being.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Seen as a loser.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
But men also get tired, and if they just go
from problems at work to problems at.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Home, they never get a break.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
And I'm not saying that you shouldn't share any problems
with him, but what you could do as a woman
is to wait at the door, give him a kiss,
ask him how his day was, let him unwind, prepare
him a drink, and start talking to him after half
an hour. When you do that, you make him feel
better about himself because you give him space to relax
and to just think of nothing if he wants to,
(12:44):
because the last thing you want is to bombard him
at the door already with everything that's been happening, and
that you need his help, and he will probably try
to solve it for you, but the only reason is
that he wants to get it over with so that
you are finally quiet.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We have made a conscious decision last couple of days
to spend less time on the Democrat meltdown because I
think we've got to be positive. We're not in a
campaign anymore, and it's very hard to pivot. We all
get we all get caught up in this thing where
where we're fighting the Democrats every day, and so we
(13:20):
got to tear them down, tear them down, tear them down.
The election is over. We got to build up the country.
Doesn't mean we have to be nice to the Democrats,
but they're gonna melt down. They're nuts. This is the
reason they lost the election. But I am going to
violate my rule and tell you this. CNN's Van Jones
made a statement, and you got to realize this was
an Obama guy. This is a race baiting Democrat, and
(13:46):
for him to say what he says on CNN, I
think I think it's a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
If you're the Democrats, what are you gonna do for
the next two years?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
How why are we here?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
There's nothing.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
If you're a Democrat, all we can say is we
hope that Susy decides that she's gonna take a long vacation,
that they hire some terrible people and make some mistakes
to give us a chance.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Right now, they had everything.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
They got the Supreme Court, they got the Electoral College,
they got the House, they got probably they got the Senate,
they got the populative vote, and we're just sitting here
with the dunce cap on.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Last time.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
Last week, we thought we were the smartest people in
the world. We thought Donald Trump was an idiot, We
thought his campaign made no sense, and it turned out
they were smarter than us. And we don't have anything
to say. You know, I can sit here and pretend
I know something here's what I know. Everybody I know
is miserable. Everybody's on these zoom calls. Nobody's got any
good ideas, and we're gonna take us a while to
figure this out. I'm not good at coming in here
and faking and pretending like, no, we got wooked.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Man, you gonna go to the spa.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You need a massage and a cucoba, I agree, and
a cookie. Donald Trump visited the White House today, and
if you you can go online and see it, Joe
Biden looks happier than I have seen him in years.
(15:11):
He was clearly enjoying this meeting. Trump was very at ease,
very relaxed, affable, jocular. They genuinely seem to be having
a good time. You can juxtapose that to the video
(15:31):
of when Trump went to the White House in sixteen
at the end of the Obama administration, and Obama looks constipated.
Of course, I guess if you had to be married
to Michelle Obama, you'd be pretty miserable too. I still
hold tight to the likelihood that Biden and Trump cut
(15:55):
a deal, that Biden determined he was going to help
Trump and sabotage Kamala.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I don't think that's why Trump won. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Trump was gonna win on his own because of you.
But I do think Biden undercut her. And if you
haven't seen that video when Kamala comes and sits down
with Doug next to next to Joe Biden, and Joe
Biden never flinches, never looks at her.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Oh it's icy. I love it. Bizarre of talk radio
the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, I said I wouldn't focus on Democrat meltdown, and
I'm certainly not of any interest to help the Democrats rebuild.
But James Carville is something of a savant for them.
He like the crazy guy that lives up on a
hill and they go up there and ask him for
his advice, you know, like Creole Williams, and he tells
(16:55):
them about the dust on the bottle. James Carvill. James
Carvill comes out the rage in Cajun. He comes off
as crazy. He looks kind of like Yoda or something tyre.
But he's very well respected because he and Paul Bagala
were the architects of the Clinton win in nineteen ninety two,
(17:17):
and that was the rebuilding of the Democrat Party. Remember
remember what was going on in ninety two, Reagan won
in eighty Reagan won in eighty four, and then Reagan
passes the baton to his vice president, George H. W. Bush,
who in nineteen ninety two, the year of his reelection,
which is going to be sixteen years when he wins,
(17:38):
sixteen years of Republican leadership. He's sitting on the highest
poll numbers that have ever been seen for a sitting
president since polling began, at over ninety percent with the
with the Iraq situation. Carvil comes in and he and
Paul Bagala had uh orchestrated did Bob Casey win in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Was it case Was it? Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold
on holder. So Pennsylvania had a Republican senator who was
John Hines. Heines died in a UH plane crash or
car crash. And then Casey was not the candidate. Casey
(18:31):
was the governor and he appointed a guy who ran
for reelection but he's not supposed to win, and that
was uh.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Harris Woolford.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And Dick Thornberg who had been was Thornberg.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
A g ramon?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, he was Oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Racking my brain. It's too far back to go. I
think he was the governor too. But anyway, Begala and
Carvel were the masterminds of a Democrat win in a
state that was leaning Republican. And then Bill Clinton brings
them in to run his campaign and they beat Bush
(19:18):
and the Democrats were back. Oh my goodness. So Carvel
is something of a genius to these people. He's this
wise savant. It's kind of like Einstein was viewed. Nobody
really wants him at the dinner party, but you go
(19:40):
to him when you have a problem that needs to
be solved. You know, it's like a back to the future.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Movies always had that, the guy who kind of lives
out there and the young people can't figure out the problem.
So you go to him and you give him all
the information. And that's how they that's how you tell
that's how they tell you. The plot of the movie
is they give him all the information so he can
make a decision and he says, ah, yes, this sounds
(20:09):
like and then he gives you the answer to your problem.
Well that is James Carvil. So listen to James Carvill.
Tell Christian I'm a poor She didn't like to hear this.
Y'all need to do away with your identity politics. Why
(20:30):
is this important? Identity politics? Or a cancer on America.
It's also a reason they can't win elections, by the way,
because we've had enough.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
But if.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Solving the problems of this country are going to mean
that we have to face the resistance and push through it.
But it also means that Democrats, once they are defeated,
are within their own camp going to have to take
back their party from the Progressives, from the race vaters,
from Black Lives Matter, from AOC. This is a good
(21:03):
sign that Carvil is calling for this because there are
going to be Democrats who are now going to go, hey, guys,
we let the party get away from us. We cannot
do these crazy things anymore. So look, I don't want
the Democrats to move back to the middle and win elections.
I don't, but the Democrats that are in office pulling
(21:28):
back on some of these policies will be good for
life in America because what's bigger to me than just
winning elections is how we live our day to day lives.
I want the Democrats to govern better. I want California
to be less crazy. You see what I'm saying. I
don't want it to just be Well, it's good they
(21:49):
stay crazy, because then we win all the elections, but
we still have to live through them running the local
and state governments that they do. Anyway, here's what Carvel
had to say.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
And there is also an idea that America is still
not ready for a female president. But last spring you said,
you know, a suspicion of mine is that there are
too many preachy females dominating the culture of the Democratic Party.
Do you do you stand by that females?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Would you look?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Would you look at our male vote? Would you would
somebody just take a look at how we did with
males and how we did with non white males and
tell me that the Democrats don't have a messaging problem,
that their message comes across is too feminine.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I mean, of course, it was right when I said that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I don't think there's not a person in the world
I've talked to that doubts that I'm right right now. Okay, Jamie,
I say provocative things to get a provocative reaction. Yeah,
but are you really are somebody going to really tell
me we don't have a problem with male voters.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Well, that's really interesting because.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Tell me something.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I'm completely are aw era.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
No, I'm going to read you the stats as you know,
well you know the stats. One in three voters of
color voted for Trump. Trump carried Hispanic men by ten points.
Trump improved his support with younger voters compared with twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And you're right, he.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Did win the male vote.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
So I just need to understand this because what are
you saying, then the Democrats need to do about the
so called gender gap.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
What should they do?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, first thing, they could have done a lot of
muscular economic messaging that we didn't do.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
We could have been increased the minimum.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Wage to fifteen dollars an hour. We could have talked
more about raising taxes on incomes above four one thousand
and using that money to help young people buy a house.
We can certainly shovel the entire identitary identity politics about
fifty feet in the ground and bury it. I mean,
(23:56):
you can start by doing things like that. You could
you could have got out in front of the crime issue, which,
by the way, to crime break the United States is
down historical out by thirty percent. But we were not
able to talk about crime because the woke police will
not allow that. In one of the great accomplishments of
(24:18):
the Biden Harris administration. So there's a lot of things
you can do, and you can you can change your
language around, you know, don't use coded language. And it's
going to take. Like I said, it'll take one cycle
before we can wash this smell off of our shirt.
But I think it a good chance to act correctly.
(24:42):
It'll be gone by twenty six and it'll be gone
by twenty eight. But please know, anybody like infer to
me that we did well with males because we did.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Not snowflakes, did I prepare for a complete meltdown.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
It's more of the Michael Verry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
If you've been around the show for a little while now,
you know that we like to have a little fun
the last segment or two, a little whimsy at the
end of our day that we hope you can take
home with you. And today what I would like to
(25:22):
do is play for you what is kind of intellectual
porn for us here on the station, here at the
show should I say?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That is a list by Senator James Langford from Oklahoma
of some of the dumbest uses of your tax dollars. Now,
the reason I play this is they're going to try
to destroy I, vivk Ramaswami and Elon Musk because they
have now been given a carte blanche, a diplomatic pass
(26:02):
to be able to run them up within the government
and say we're going to stop that. Remember, Elon's a
guy who bought Twitter, walked in and laid off seventy
five percent of it and improved it. This guy makes
snap decisions. He is a decision maker and he hates waste.
(26:23):
So just remember that when they go after them, and
we will close with this.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
This is one of the.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Finest moments in recent history. We play this all the
time around the studio during the day.
Speaker 14 (26:35):
Last year of the State Department did a grant to
Ecuador to host twelve drag shows in Ecuador with American
tax dollars. Now, may have different opinions in this room
on drag shows. I'm just asking the simple question, is
the best use of American tax dollars to actually fund
(26:57):
drag shows in Ecuador with US tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't believe that it is.
Speaker 14 (27:05):
Last year, we actually did a different funding through the
State Department that was actually done. Actually, this is the
National Science Foundation. Excuse me strike that it seems like
a state department thing. National Science Foundation last year did
a study of butterflies.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
In Europe.
Speaker 14 (27:23):
So we funded with American taxpayer dollars a butterfly study
in Germany where we paid a Swedish scientist to study
butterflies in Germany.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I'm not really sure why American.
Speaker 14 (27:39):
Tax dollars that was the best use of that, but
that was one of the grants that.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Was done last year.
Speaker 14 (27:43):
Last year, there was also a NEA grant that was
done to set up a display in Brooklyn for the
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. By the way, it's
not even an American band. And I'm not sure why
we had to pay a federal tax dollars to be
able to do that. My simple question is always why
(28:06):
are tax dollars being taken out of Oklahoma to.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Be able to do that?
Speaker 14 (28:12):
Always popular We had an almost well three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars grant to study smart toilets was one
of the grants that we actually paid for with our
federal tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Last year.
Speaker 14 (28:25):
We also had a grant that was done studying colonial
Mexican soundscapes. I'm sure colonial Mexican soundscapes are fascinating, but
we paid for a researcher to travel to Mexico and
then to be able to write a series about the
sounds of colonial Mexico and how they.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Could be used to be able to influence communities.
Speaker 14 (28:50):
We last year did a study on helmets and seat
belts in Ghana to be able to study whether seat
belts and helmets were effective for saving lives in Ghana.
Can I just go ahead and answer that question for free?
Seat belts and helmets are a good idea, they save
(29:13):
lives free, I can go ahead and.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Give you that advice.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
How do I know that, because we've already spent millions
of dollars in other studies here in the United States,
But instead we spent money in Ghana studying helmets to
see if they're actually a good idea there, and amazingly
they discovered yes they are. There was also a grant
that was done last year. I've got to just walk
(29:37):
this one through.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
This was at the Springfield Museum of Art in Missouri.
Speaker 14 (29:41):
There was a grant to be on a display an
installation in the exhibit in the museum.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Called yoko Ono Men's Piece. Now, let me just read
this to you.
Speaker 14 (29:51):
It's a simple white room where shattered cups and saucers
are placed on a table and participants are asked to
mend the fragments together using common household items like twine, glue, scissors,
and tape, and the resulting works are displayed on nearby
shelves as evidence of the power of collective action. Again,
(30:15):
I'm not opposed to fixing broken saucers in a public
place and displaying them. All I'm asking is why did
Oklahomas work overtime last year to pay their tax bill
to fund doing the yoko Ono white room where people
fixed broken saucers.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't have a good answer for that yet.
Speaker 14 (30:39):
By the way, I'm still trying to be able to
get that. If you like wine country, great, you help
pay for it. One of the highest income areas in
the world is Napa Valley, California. One of the highest
income areas in the entire world. The good folks of
Oklahoma helped pay for a wine pedestrian trail through Napa
(31:01):
Valley because apparently Napa Valley didn't have enough cash to
be able to pay for the eight mile walking trail
through Wine Country, some of the most expensive real estate
in the entire world. So the taxpayers in Oklahoma had
to pay for that Wine Country tour trail. If you
like traveling to Hawaii, enjoy the trip when you get there.
(31:24):
If you go to a farmer's market, you'll find out
that you help pay for that farmer's market because the
farmers market in Hawaii received three point four million dollars
to be able to fund the farmer's market. If you
go to New York City and pay a very high
dollar ticket to get into a private location in the
Metropolitan Opera to be able to watch the opera, you
(31:45):
will feel safer, I'm sure when you go to the
Metropolitan Opera because almost three quarters of a million dollars
was given to the Metropolitan Opera in New York to
help them install a new fire suppression system with federal
tax dollars.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
If you like traveling to Paris and you go.
Speaker 14 (32:03):
To a butcher shop in Paris, you may be fascinating
to know since the thirteenth century, apparently butchers in Paris
have come up with their own private language.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
It's like a super secret private.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
Language among butchers in Paris, fascinating for the French to study.
But unfortunately, the American taxpayers paid for a study of
French butcher's private language for fear that it is diminishing
and fading away. So the American tax dollars paid for
(32:38):
this study in France to study the secret language.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Of butchers in Paris. I can't tell you why.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
