PM Show Hr 2 | The Zeal of the Recently Converted Who Left the Democrat Party

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time time, Just luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Varry Show is on the air.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's Charlie from BlackBerry Smoke.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I can feel a good one coming on. It's the
Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Any attempt to restrict drinking and driving here is viewed
by some as downright undemocratic.

Speaker 5 (00:32):
Two six packs shit or this is gonna be clip
six on one moon. It's an MSNBC report. This is
two disparate pieces of audio I'm going to share with
you this segment, but they're part of the same theme.
They work thematically perfectly, and that is the idea of
the government taking your money and using it toward evil ends,

(00:56):
sometimes just putting in their pocket, sometimes funding things that
cause you harm, that silence you, that sicken you. Sometimes
funding things that harm their political enemies and aid their
campaigns and their causes. Sometimes just buying bigger houses and planes.

(01:18):
So this MSNB receive report is that the USAID staff
were told to shred and burn documents so that Elon
and his DOGE team couldn't get to them. This is
what the Chinese embassy did in the Chinese consul did
in Houston when it was learned that they were spying

(01:39):
on the Texas Medical Center during the COVID situation. They
literally shut all the doors and started burning documents. It
was smoke billowing out of the console.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
NBC News is reporting this USAID staff is being told
to shred and burn all they're classified documents.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Quote.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
The US Agency for International Development is instructing its staff
in Washington to shred and burn documents, according to an
email obtained by NBC News. The document destruction was set
to take place Tuesday. According to an email from Erica Carr,
the agency's acting executive secretary, quote, shred as many documents first,
and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes

(02:17):
unavailable or needs a break. Car wrote, I worked in
government for most a decade. I've never heard of so
much shredding being required that you would know ahead of
time that quote the shredder would become unavailable or need
a break.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
What is that about, right?

Speaker 7 (02:33):
I actually this morning I got a message from somebody
who left USAID earlier this year and passed along this
email to me, and my response is naturally as a
standard operating procedure, and this individuals had known that they
had never heard about burning or shredding of federal records
at USAID. But then again, this individual told me they've

(02:55):
never heard of the entire agency being gutted in their
headquarters at the Ronald Reagan build being shut down. When
are documents burned by the State Department or USAID, typically
at an embassy when it.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Is about to be overtaken.

Speaker 7 (03:09):
Marines have the authorization as a means of ensuring the
classified records and personnel data do not get in the
hands of individuals of who.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Are seen as threats.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
They do go and.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Burn documents, but that's not what this situation is here.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
And next quickly we turn to how the CIA uses
the quote National Endowment for Democracy.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Sounds like such a nice thing, doesn't it. Let's go
back to nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
This fella's name is Philip ag He's a former CIA
agent turned whistleblower. This was going on a long time ago,
and I believe still goes on. Listen carefully. This is
very disturbing.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And so nowadays, instead of having just a CIA going
around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process
secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and so forth,
they have now a psychic, which is this National Endowment
for Democracy NEED yeah, and UH. This organization dates from
nineteen sixty seven. A lot of people don't realize because

(04:08):
it was just established in the I think eighty three
UH or so, But the idea emerged from a series
of scandalous revelations in nineteen sixty seven, the worst ones
to that point to hit the CIA. And I was
in headquarters at the time that these UH scandals broke,
and the gloom there was something you could you could
touch almost because what happened was the long running CIA's

(04:34):
control and manipulation of the international program of the National
UH Students Association in this country, which was the National
Organization of University Students UH came out, it was revealed, UH,
and that led to revelations of a lot of other
CIA operations because they were using the same bogus and
real foundations to channel money into all these different or

(04:56):
overseas organizations. And I remember very well the Time magazine
at the time, or NESLEAGU. I think think it was
time they published a wheel with all these folks going
out and the CIA was the center. And then halfway
out where all these these corporates are, these foundations and
American organizations, and then now at the end were the
foreign groups that cut the money and the instructions. Actually,

(05:17):
they don't give away money without being sure that it's
spent the way they want to spend. And so this
was a catastrophe for the CIA, and the next month
of the month after that, this started in February sixty seven,
and then by April, I think it was Dante Fachelle,
the congressman from Florida, was proposing the establishment of an
open system to finance these overseas organizations.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Some government organizations abroad, some political parties, some media organizations,
youth organizations and student organizations, all these kinds of so
called pluralist organizations, when.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
In fact they weren't.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Really free organizations because to the degree that they took
money and instructions from the CIA to that to be.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Enough for at all.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right, But anyway, fachel came up with this idea, but nothing,
It didn't go anywhere because the so called consensus between
the two parties had broken down over Vietnam, and so
it wasn't until the early eighties when Reagan.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Made his speech in the House of.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Comments about the Democracy Project worldwide that this began to
take on steam again, and finally they decided to copy
the German example. Each of the major German political parties
has a foundation which is financed by the German government.
Before it was West Germany, now the whole country, and

(06:36):
for example, the Friedrich Ebertstiffton is the SPD or the
Social Democratic Parties Foundation, and they financed projects all over
the place and for years in the fifties and sixties,
and I would guess even into the seventies.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
In fact, I know into.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
The seventies, even to the early eighties, the CIA was
channeling money through these German foundations. I bought, for example,
some money money. I think it was a million dollars
in more, but I'm a little hazy on the amount.
But anyway, it went through the It was CIA money
which went through the Konrad Adnauerstift though that's the Christian
Democratic Union. It went from there to Eveppo, which is

(07:13):
a foundation of the Coupe the Christian Democrats in Venezuela,
and from there it went to the Christian Democrats in
Olsalvador to Duarte for use in the elections. I've forgotten
which year, maybe eighty four or something like that, and
it was traced some journalists did this, and so that
is the way they would use these German foundations in

(07:34):
the past. So now we've got our own, we don't
have to use the Germans unless we really want to anymore.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Because in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Four we established this National Endowment for Democracy, which is
nothing but a mega conduit, and the millions or the
tens of millions that are set aside for the meddling
in the internal affairs of other countries goes to this
conduit like a bank account or something. But they have
a board of directors and they do reports and stuff
like that. But then it goes from there to one

(08:00):
of four private foundations, one of the Democratic Party won
the Republican Party or two three the AFLCIO, and four
the US Chamber of Commerce. These groups then pass it
out to recipients in foreign countries. And in the nicar
Argan elections of nineteen ninety I believe the figure was

(08:22):
something like twelve point five million that went from the
National Movement.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
You're listening to the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
This is something I've been talking about for a while,
and I don't know that we actually played it, so
I'll do it now. I call her Gargamel from the Smurf.
She's the manly looking creature. I don't know what it
really is underneath all that, and I'm not going to check.
But I found out her name is Rosa Delaro, not
that it matters. She's a Democrat from Connecticut and she's
nuts well. She was one of the group that made

(08:51):
one of these videos. Hers is probably the most disturbing,
not the pick your Fighter Democrat video where they all
do their punching like their video game.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Hers because she's an old man or woman.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
I'm honestly not sure which trying to sound like a
gen Z and which one is gen Z.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
That's how it was described to me.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
I don't actually know what gen Z or gen X
or I know the baby boomers, and then I think,
I'm not sure I'm born in seventy I forget.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
If I have the chart in front of me, I
can tell you. I just know what the baby boomers were.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
That's and then the Millennials, and that's kind of everything
else is a little lost on me. Not sure it's
important to the story, but this is the cringe that
we hope they will continue.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Yo, this is the ranking wrizzler on appropriations serving Connecticut's
third district. It's time to enter your dark academia Congress era.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
All right, bestice House appropriation is the money most in Congress.

Speaker 8 (09:47):
We are not chasing the bag.

Speaker 9 (09:49):
We are the bag.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Democrats are making lives further for government funding.

Speaker 10 (09:54):
It's giving, it's giving it.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
So Sigma main character Energy Republican's project twenty twenty five
is mad sucks. Eliminating the Department of Education. Negative are
appoints basically the biggest fandom tax on the environment, on
your education and your rights. Big l posting it online, buddy.

(10:17):
Democrats understood the assignment, but go off, see how I
keep you informed?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Very cutes, very debut.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
So somebody twenty three years old in her office looked
up all the terms that people young people use and
had them say that. And what's interesting about that is
it's the ultimate insult to the intelligence of people. I
hate to be lied to, not because of the passionate
love of the truth, which I think you have to

(10:48):
have for systems to work, but I hate to be
lied to because it's an insult to my intelligence. It's
an insult on a very deep level. When you ask
someone you know, did you perform this task and they
say yes, knowing they didn't. It's not that the task

(11:10):
isn't performed, because it's very rarely that important. It's the
idea that you had so little respect for me that
you would rather lie, which is a very bad thing.
We have to remind we take for granted that the
next generation knows what we know. People will tell me
all the time, Man, I can't raise my kids like

(11:31):
I was raised.

Speaker 11 (11:32):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Oh they won't listen? Did you listen? See you forget?

Speaker 5 (11:38):
It wasn't easy for your parents, and it wasn't easy
for their parents of them. But they did the hard work.
They did the difficult things. And if you're unwilling to
do that, then you're the problem. Do you understand that
you're the problem? Here is a flashback to Nancy Pelosi's
this is going to be four h three Vermont and
this goes back to ash Dog and I forgot to

(12:00):
put the year down.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I think it was eight nine ten.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Maybe is she's being asked if it's if she if
it's all right or the speaker to receive a very
lucrative stock deal, which we know her trades.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know there's an app. Now I don't have it,
but I've been told about it. I need to get it.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
There's an app that you can track her her stock trades,
and you can track Dan Crenshaw's stock trades. And I
don't just mean track as in you can follow them
and see what they're trading. You can actually execute a
trade the moment it picks up that that person has
executed a trade, which is it's both funny and it's telling,

(12:45):
and it's rather disturbing, isn't it. What if they are
out trading the general public, which by all accounts they are,
how did they get to be so good? It's almost
as if they have inside knowledge. It might affect the
price stop.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
I wanted to ask you.

Speaker 12 (13:01):
Why you and your husband back in March of two
thousand and eight accepted and participated in a very large
IPO deal from Visa at a time there was major
legislation affecting the kind of card companies making its way
through the through the house.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
And did you.

Speaker 12 (13:16):
Consider that to be a conflict of interest?

Speaker 13 (13:20):
I don't know what your point is of your question.
Is there some point that you want to make with that?

Speaker 12 (13:24):
Well, I guess what I'm asking is, do you think
it's all right for a speaker to accept a very preferential,
favorable stock deal.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, we did.

Speaker 12 (13:32):
You participated in the I p O and at the
time you were Speaker of the House, you don't think
it was a conflict of interests or had the appearance.

Speaker 13 (13:38):
Now it has appearance if you decide that you're going
to have elaborate on a false premise, but it's not true.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
And that's that.

Speaker 12 (13:46):
I don't understand what part's not true that I.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Would act upon an investment.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
But it's pretty clear, isn't it. It's pretty clear. Does
anybody doubt this?

Speaker 14 (13:59):
Does it?

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Anybody doubt this? And then we go to.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
We go actually, you know what, let's go to five
oh four Congressman timber Shit.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
He was on CNN.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
He's Republican from Tennessee with Brionna Kyler Keeler. I don't
know her name and I don't care what her name is.
And he's talking about the cuts to government and that
these people should be in prison.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
It should be in prison for a lot of reasons.
Look at the math.

Speaker 15 (14:25):
If Elon Musk says that he thinks he can find
a trillion dollars with a waste abuse and fraud. Why
don't we let him try this see if he can
find it. What does that hurt? You know, everybody's trying
to be critical, they're attacking the message career, and you
know the problem is is that this money, you're going
to see it and going to politicians and I mean
going out to these NGOs and all these these organizations

(14:46):
that are they claim they're doing a good job, and
it's coming right back to Washington and possibly both parties.
And I think that's what a lot of these people
are afraid of. They're going to get caught with their
hand in the cookie jar. And some of these people
need to be in handcuffed because medicative medicare should be
a sacred, sacred group of people and we should not
be stealing from any any group that is trying to
help that that community. And that is what has happened.

(15:08):
We just had a meeting just now in oversight. There
are seven days. Somebody said, well, there's just so infantized,
so small, and then it turned out I asked, wasn't
the percentage and they said seven to eight percent, one
hundred and fifty over one hundred and fifty billion dollars
that is as being misdirected or stolen or whatever.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Through fraudulind or. I'm trying to why don't you embrace that.

Speaker 15 (15:27):
Why don't you all at CNN one, Why don't you
all any one trying.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
To do a little cat that's with you.

Speaker 16 (15:31):
I'm just I'm trying to do some math with you
talking about mountains.

Speaker 15 (15:35):
You all do not support one cut at CNN. You
all do not support one dad dumb cut in any
of this stuff. You're you're trying to use the word
the lowest denominator. You're trying to scare the most people
to drive the train against Trump, and it's not working.
The American people are not buying it.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
And you all have made a.

Speaker 15 (15:53):
Huge error in this because we're looking unbelievable way.

Speaker 16 (15:56):
I'm looking at the number, man, you're going to be
looking no mind, I'm looking at the numbers that those
just put out themselves. They say they're cutting contracts that
have already ended.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
They say they're cutting a big amount.

Speaker 16 (16:06):
It turns out it's actually a smaller amount. That's just math, Congressmen.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
And we're going to continue.

Speaker 15 (16:13):
You're saying there's there's not Are you saying there's not, well,
look at the math. Are you saying there's not billions
of dollars of waste Houston product in federal government? Are
you trying to say that because everybody out there.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
You don't need to tell you that there's CBO.

Speaker 16 (16:26):
That's what we're trying to discuss is the actual number.
We're trying to have at least, I'm trying to have
an honest conversation with you about the numbers and CBO
estimates and the numbers that experts on this topic expect
there to be. Congressman Tim Burchett, thanks for joining us
named experts.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Thank you all so much. You've got the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Senator Rick Scott on CNN with Jake Tapper, he rattled
off a statistic and I'm going to replay for you
and then we will discuss it. I want you to
pay attention to this because I'm always mindful when I
see something or hear something. I'm always mindful that when
we play that on the show, almost everybody is driving,

(17:11):
and so holding numbers in your head is not easy.
It's not like looking at a graphic, which also might
have an accompanying chart, would show you you know, whether
something is large or small that really makes a visual impression.
I am an auditory learner primarily these days, not when
I was a child, because there wasn't much auditory back then.

(17:31):
I was a reader. But as my vision has declined
with age, as most of you, most of ours does,
I have found that more so than reading or even watching,
I have found that I learn best and I enjoy
learning most in an auditory setting. I will often go

(17:51):
back and listen to our show on the podcast to
see just as a listener, and I will notice sometimes
that I thought I lane something really well, and I
listen on the podcast and I say.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
You did You never wrapped that up, You got distracted.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Or you didn't make the point clearly enough, or I
don't think I would have understood that if I was
a listener. So I am mindful when we use numbers
in audio bits, and that's why I try to wrap
a bow around it so you pay extra attention to it.
So again, Senator Rick Scott on CNN with Jake Tapper, I.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
Talked to Alon Mouse quite a bit about what he's doing,
and he's doing what I did when I became Governor
of Florida. Here, look at every program. So here's what
he said. He is looking at every program he can.
He's given information to agency heads and they're making a
decision how to go forward. But let me tell you,
Americans are fed up. Six hundred thousand and four mentrol
study cycle or study mintro cycles.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
At Transander men.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
Three hundred million dollars for a cement manufacturer in Gaza.
I mean you, eight hundred thousand dollars for gardening in
El Salvador. Let me tell you, I just went through
the campaign trail. People are fed up with wasteful government spending.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
And we've had a two.

Speaker 10 (19:03):
Percent increase in population in five years and fifty three
percent increase in spending. We will not get interest rates down,
we will not get inflation under control until we balance
a budget.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's what we have to do.

Speaker 10 (19:13):
And Elon Musk is part of the process of balancing
the budget.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
Three hundred thousand dollars for menstrual cycles to what the
bloody hell is going on here? This was sure Michael
Singleton on CNN.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
They don't like.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
It, right, because fine, it's fine until it comes for that.

Speaker 14 (19:31):
Sure, Now, who's cutting Medicaid, Medicas, security, not taking that
away from anybody.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
There is a we're not, but we're not.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
We're not taking that away from the us on.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
This talking point. It's as a scare tactic.

Speaker 17 (19:44):
Elon Musk, the President, the House Majority.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Leader, the Senate leader. We have not cut anyone.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
How are you cutting?

Speaker 9 (19:51):
How are you cutting eight hundred and eighty billion dollars
from the Energy and Commerce Appropriation Committee until from the
Everagery Commerce Committee unless you cut medicaid?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Do you think those things are solvent? Excuse me?

Speaker 9 (20:01):
Do you think answer my question we're going after? Do
I think you're not needing a level of Sorry, let
me ask you a question. You're saying we're not cutting medicaid.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
We're not, We're not.

Speaker 9 (20:13):
What is this budget blueprint that every single Republican.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Everybody has an idea Julia doesn't mean the idea is actual,
not an idea.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
It is a blueprint that they said, go back to Julia,
your doing right, not just Michael.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
We're making Michael the cuts? Why why have there.

Speaker 9 (20:28):
Why the Congress, why the Congress bother wasting everybody's time
voting for a blueprint that said cut eight hundred and
eighty million dollars billion, dollars. Excuse me from Energy and Congress.
The only way to achieve that is to cut medicaid.
How are they going to do?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Thats exist? Where have we made the cuts? It's a
simple question. Where have we made the cuts where? And when?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Well, we haven't, and everyone knows that. Next week clip
five oh two, Ramona, I'll give you a moment to
find it.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Five two.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
It's Congressman Brandon gil from Texas and he says, the.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
GAO has identified.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Five hundred billion dollars in fraudulent payments. Folks, there is
so much of this that it's going to drive you
crazy because it's going to come out, and sadly, it's
going to come out to such an extent so frequently

(21:25):
that it's all going to blend together. If one of
these things came out, it would infuriate you. But because
so much of this is going to come out, you're
not even going to be able to process it. You
won't be able to muster sufficient outrage. In this sense,
you will be tired of winning because you can't keep
getting mad over everything, not sufficiently. And yet the IRS

(21:49):
is going to pester you and ask you for a
receipt on a twenty eight dollars venmo or a twenty
eight dollars purchase, or they're going to question this or that,
and then look what our government is actually doing with
your money. You've got the Pentagon losing planes and tanks,
leaving dozens of billions of dollars of our arsenal in Afghanistan.

(22:12):
You've got billions of dollars wasted in fraudulent payment.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Here's Brandon gil Well.

Speaker 17 (22:18):
I can tell you what the nonpartisan GAO has identified,
and we had a hearing on this earlier today. They've
identified what they believed to be about five hundred billion
dollars just in fraudulent payments across the federal government that
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. This is not payments that
are legitimately going to people who deserve it and actually

(22:38):
should be getting this money.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
This is fraud.

Speaker 17 (22:41):
They've identified on top of that, one hundred and sixty
one billion dollars just last year and what they believed
to be improper payments. So there's an enormous amount of waste, fraud,
and abuse in.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Our federal government.

Speaker 17 (22:53):
That's why the dose should work that they're doing is
so important, you know, for for decades, Congress has been
trying to figure out out what's going on at the
executive branch where they're spending and going out all of
this money. And finally we're getting some answers. And I
think that the American people are shocked by it. And
you know, I think in the coming months you're going
to see some action from Congress to get rid of this.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Says, wow, everyone knows this. Not just Elon, he's just
given you receipts. This was Bernie Sanders, Communist, Bernie Sanders,
all the way back in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Listen to this. There is no question.

Speaker 18 (23:30):
That there is an enormous amount of waste and fraud
and abuse in this government. There is no question to
my mind that Congress has not been vigilant enough in
rooting out that waste and fraud to the tune of
billions and billions of dollars. I would simply say that
while it is absolutely appropriate to condemn the Congress, it

(23:54):
is also important to note that we have an administration
in this city, in Washington Dtree, DC. And the function
of an administration is to admitister, and.

Speaker 11 (24:08):
That means that when there is waste and fraud, you
have an administration who should also be on top of
that situation.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Not only Bernie Sanders. It's another annoying accent, Nancy Pelosi.
This was her two years later, twenty ten.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
We cannot keep our promises on Medicare. We simply must
make the cuts and waste fraud and abuse in medicare
so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched. We
owe it to our seniors, we owe it to our country.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
And since we're on the subject, to take us to
the break, Chuck Schumer is going to be cliped four
O three saying back in twenty thoy ten, we need
to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in medicare.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Huh.

Speaker 14 (24:58):
If we're going to eliminate the way brought an abuse
in medicare, it.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Does mean we're going to cut some of that out.

Speaker 14 (25:05):
And when I hear my friend Dave Camp say you
cannot cut money out of Medicare, well, we don't want
to cut the good stuff that you point out, one
third of Medicare doesn't go to patient care.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
You can't just get up.

Speaker 14 (25:17):
There and say we don't want to cut anything out
of Medicare. We want to cut the bad stuff and
keep the good stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I will die for the country.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
I will die for this class to Michael Berry Show,
he's the big honor to be living in.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
The United States. I cannot remember.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
If we played this before, and so I'm going to
play it anyway. It's a woman who posts on TikTok.
I'm not on TikTok. People will often send me things
on TikTok. I chose not to be on TikTok. And
it's not some big statement just because the company's Chinese.
It's just because I didn't want to add another thing

(25:57):
to my life. So I'm only saying that because I'll
have to hear from people. Am Relax, Relax, Relax. You
can only be upset about so many things. But our
team is often sent things from listeners and will share it.
And the source of where this was posted is not important.

(26:21):
The platform is not important. The individual is talking about
criticizing the Democrat Party because this person just.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Left being a Democrat.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
And I will tell you it is known in Evangelical
Christianity as the zeal of the recently converted. No one
is more on fire for Jesus than the recently converted,
and it's exciting actually to watch after a revival in

(26:54):
a small town, to see people absolutely on fire, I mean,
getting after it and this conviction. This manifests itself in
evangelical activity in such a way that it's amazing to watch.

(27:16):
But the zeal of the recently converted is true about
a number of things. If you see somebody who's just
stopped smoking and you notice, you know that these are
the people that are dangerous because now they want to
kick down everybody's door and take their cigarettes away from them.
Or a person who has just become healthier, a person
who's just begun lifting, or any number of other things

(27:39):
like this. The zeal of the recently converted, and what
you're going to hear here is the zeal of the
recently converted of someone who has had enough of the
Democrat Party and now wants everybody to realize how nutty.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
That place is.

Speaker 19 (27:56):
Reason I am so critical of the Democratic Party right
now is because I literally really just left it. Just
like a lot of other people, I was a bleeding
heart liberal like all of you. I mean, blue hair
in everything.

Speaker 15 (28:06):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Believe me, I have plenty of pictures proving that I
was all in.

Speaker 19 (28:09):
If you would have asked me a year ago, I
would have said, there is no way in hell I
will ever vote for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
But let me tell you what changed my mind.

Speaker 19 (28:16):
The big moment for me was when the left started
trying to push this like Nazi Hitler fascism narrative that
they're trying to push right now.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Like what y'all actually did.

Speaker 19 (28:24):
Is made a lot of us really go research Trump
even harder, and we started to realize that a lot
of things that you guys had shown us about Trump
and things that he had said were taken way out
of context. A lot of us started noticing a pattern
where you guys were showing us like little ten second
clips of a ten minute conversation that did not reflect
the entirety of that conversation at all.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
So that was number one.

Speaker 19 (28:45):
And then around Thanksgiving, all of a sudden, you guys
are telling us that it would be better for us
to sit at home and spend the holidays with no
one then it would be to go home to your
family who voted for Trump. When I heard that, I
was like, Okay, now y'all are wiless because you cannot
tell me that it is better for your mental health
to sit at home alone than it is to go
and spend time with your friends and family. Y'all had

(29:07):
actual therapists getting on TV and telling you guys this.
And the sad thing is is that it would have
been better for them to encourage you to do something
like find other people that believe the same as you
to spend the holidays with.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
But they didn't. They told you to.

Speaker 19 (29:21):
Stay in your home and spend the holidays with no one.
When that happened, I was like, Okay, I got to
give this party a second look because something is not
right here. But honestly, if you want to know the truth,
what really did it for me is realizing how freaking
depressed I was when I was functioning as a liberal.
Liberalism will literally make you hate yourself. It will make
you hate your family, it will make you hate your friends,

(29:43):
it will make you hate everything about the world. And
I'm not saying that you should just be ignorant to
everything that is going on in the world, but the
way that the left chooses to internalize everything that is
going on in the world is detrimental to their mental health.
And this is why people try to tell you that
empathy is dangerous, but even that you want to take
out of context. Empathy itself is a great quality to have.

(30:04):
Empathy without discernment is detrimental. You have got to be
able to discern when you are carrying too much and
you need to take a step back, and none of
you are doing that.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Believe me, it is possible to.

Speaker 19 (30:16):
Care about everything that is going on in the world
and not let it consume every single thought that you
have and every single conversation that you have a lot
of us are leaving the party in droves because you
guys have made it impossible to have any sort of
individual thought whatsoever. Like for instance, if I say that
I like RFK Junior because I want bad chemicals out
of my food and because I want to know what's

(30:37):
in my vaccines, you will assume that I am someone
who is anti VAXX and anti science, when in fact,
all three of my kids and myself have been vaccinated.
I just want to tell you guys something. Every Republican
most likely voted for Trump. Every person that voted for
Trump is not a Republican. The fact that you guys
are so against Trump's administration right now when most of

(30:57):
his administration is former Democrats who have now left the party.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Y'all look wild.

Speaker 19 (31:02):
I mean, the Democratic Party has brainwashed people so hard
that they are actually advocating against world peace right now.
People on the left would rather us keep giving money
to Ukraine to fund a war than to even fathom
getting Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
And Russia at the table to try to agree to peace.

Speaker 19 (31:18):
A party that I joined because they were so anti
war and I was so against war now loves war.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
All of a sudden.

Speaker 19 (31:25):
They have convinced you to love war so much that
you are actually fighting for transgender people to be in
the military, when lots of groups of people are excluded
for the military for very valid reasons. For instance, people
like me who suffer from anxiety and depression. And even
though I'm not currently medicated, I used to take medication
for this and that would disqualify me from serving in

(31:46):
the military.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
And frankly, I don't have a problem with that.

Speaker 19 (31:49):
I know dan well that somebody like me has no
damn business being on the front lines. Me having the
conditions that I have make me a liability to the
safety of this country. Like, don't get me wrong, I
am all for trans rights, Okay, I believe that you
have the right to be whoever you want to be
in whatever way makes you comfortable. But you really want
the right to fight in the military, Like that's the right,

(32:10):
that's the hill that you want to die on. Like, bro,
people don't get accepted to the military because they have
phone spurs on their feet, and you were complaining about
the fact that a transgender person can't.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Make it into the military.

Speaker 19 (32:20):
Like at this point, the left has convinced you to
be so anti Trump that they will get you to
argue for things that you used to be against. All
of this summed up is exactly why you are losing
people every single day.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
As bad as you think that.

Speaker 19 (32:33):
You are making Trump look, all you are doing is
making yourself look ten times worse. And this last election
very clearly showed that because Trump increased his numbers across
every single demographic, across women, across young voters, across Black Americans,
across Hispanic Americans, like everyone came out to vote for Trump.
And it is because we just cannot stand y'all anymore.

(32:55):
If you guys want to continue living in that kind
of miserable existence, like that is on you.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
We are not participating in that anymore. And by saying that.

Speaker 19 (33:02):
I'm not saying that we're not going to be participating
and changing the state of the world, but we don't
have to be miserable while we're doing it. So at
this point, just forget everything that you have ever heard
about Republicans, because I promise you, if you get a
group of Trump voters in the room, you will not
be able to put them all in one box. I
promise you that the Democratic Party is no longer the
party of tolerance and inclusion and diversity.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
It's the New Right.

Speaker 19 (33:26):
I heard someone else call us that, and honestly, I
think we should start calling ourselves that because we're not Republicans.
I don't consider myself a Republican. I don't consider myself
a Democrat anymore, but I damn well, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Going to consider myself a Republican.

Speaker 19 (33:37):
But I think we should coin ourselves as the new
Right because that is so fitting. But that's you, then,
I am so glad you're here and welcome to the
New Right.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
We would love to have you.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm good night.
