Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Is on the air that she oughts a couple of
months old, and if you want to really see something
that said, take a look at what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
The part of why I admire and support Joe Biden
is that his tone has been geared towards trying to
bring us together.
Speaker 6 (00:28):
The Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by
Donald Trump and the Magyar Republicans, and that is a
threat to this country.
Speaker 7 (00:37):
Others are directly pointing the finger at President Biden, with
of course no evidence that he incited this.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
We told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed, but it's not.
We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it,
each and every one of us.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We're all called.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
By duty and conscious to confront it. Dreams will put
their own pursuit of power above all else.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'd like to take it behind the gym if.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I were in high school. We're in high school. I've
taken behind the gym and beat the hell up.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
Other people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and
Hitler and the use of the terminology like vermin and
the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship.
All he cares about is selfish self promotion. That's the
only philosophy he has, which makes it even more dangerous.
Speaker 8 (01:32):
Vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that
you ever get to vote in. And again, I don't
say that lightly, and I think is heartbreaking that that's
where we are. But people have to recognize that the
vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the constant.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
And then the biggest threat that officials they're telling me
tonight is in the form of retaliatory violencing and just.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
Sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry,
this will all work itself out. They're still going to
have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
And it is frankly on patriotic at this moment to
be soaking the plans when we know that we are
sitting on a cauldron attentions.
Speaker 8 (02:05):
The perission structure for violence.
Speaker 10 (02:07):
You've got polls about political violence Democrats still think is
a good idea.
Speaker 11 (02:10):
Only pro when was the last time not your assassinated
the president?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
I have thoughts an all will lot about blowing up
the White House.
Speaker 12 (02:19):
You have relieved, the world win, and you will pay
a ride.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
If it's just a warning to you Trump, be careful,
walk lightly and for those of you who are soldiers, to.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Make them pay, I will go and take Trump out
to that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'd be ready to throw a punch. We had to
be able to throw a punch.
Speaker 13 (02:45):
For showing you this video on repeat, because these events
just happened. But we want to make clear that this
is something we are reporting to you as a historic
event as it unfolds. But we are very mindful that
this kind of event can inspire violence, it can inspire retaliation,
and we want no part.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Of that assassination. A year later, there's two more bits
of audio I want to play for you. One of
them comes from WPXITV. The Trump shooter was spotted by
a counter sniper nearly thirty minutes before. Folks, this cannot
and does not happen clips six seventeen go.
Speaker 10 (03:28):
I've learned from multiple sources tonight that Beaver County's Emergency
Services Unit had counter snipers here at the rally on Saturday,
and one of them spotted the shooter not once, but
twice before shots were ever fired.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Now, according to.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
My sources, the ESU team had eight members on scene
here in Butler County providing assistance to the former president's rally.
I'm told one of the counter snipers spotted a suspicious
man scoping out the roof of a building. It's not
clear if he had a gun on him. At this point,
the counters nipper took a picture, and we now know
the man in that picture was Thomas Crooks. My sources
(04:05):
tell me the counter sniper called it into the command
center with the picture, but when law enforcement got to
that spot, Crooks was gone. Then at five point forty five,
just before the program was to begin, the same counter
sniper spotted Crooks again, this time on the roof. He
took a second picture and called it into the command center.
Twenty six minutes later, those shots rang out, as police say,
(04:28):
Crooks fired from the roof at mister Trump, raising him,
killing a former fire chief and injuring two others. And
tonight we have learned that the FBI plans to talk
to those Emergency Services Unit members in Beaver County later
on this week.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let us not forget Corey Comparatory was killed in all
of this, a father, a husband, a firefighter, a friend,
His widow is blasting the Secret Service for only suspending
six agents. She says she wants to sit down and
she wants answers why her husband is dead.
Speaker 14 (05:07):
Remarkable, we're learning that there were six agents who have
been suspended. Of course, the director of the agency resigned
last year after the disastrous hearings in Congress. Do you
feel like do you feel like the Congress is getting
to the bottom of these questions? And do you believe
(05:28):
that that's you know that the that the more people
should actually face consequences for the mistakes that happened that.
Speaker 15 (05:35):
Day, suspending them when my husband was killed, you know
that's a punishment.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Well, has anyone reached out to you at all, Helen,
to try to walk you through what happened?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Are you having conversations?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Have you been invited to have Congress stations with anyone
who can at least attempt to explain what went wrong?
Speaker 16 (06:07):
Yes, Dan Bongino did call me. We did walk through
a lot of what happened that day with Thomas Crooks,
and he was very kind and left me his phone
number and said I can call him anytime.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me that Dan Bongino did that.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
What else do you want?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
What else do you want from from our government?
Speaker 16 (06:33):
I want to sit down with the Secret Service and
I want them to tell me everything that happened that day.
I want to know why they failed. I want to
know what happened. Why Butler? Why was that such a
failure that day?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What was the reason?
Speaker 16 (06:49):
Why did he walk around for an hour without someone
grabbing him?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Why they are telling me what's called one days? These
little things clothing for a baby? I love, love good
Barry Ship one of all these ones.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
There has been escalating left wing violence against law enforcement
in this country. A liberal thug opened fire at ICE
agents during a raid in California. Media outlets doing their
jobs of protecting the left, and they referred to the
(07:27):
gunman as a protester, A protester. Isn't that convenient? The
January sixth protesters were not protesters, They were violent murderers
and rapists, even though they weren't. But a guy who's
firing on ICE doing their job, he's a protester. ABC
(07:50):
seven eyewitness news there said a protester was seen apparently
firing some kind of weapon at federal agents during the
immigration rate at a farm near Kimrio on Thursday. It's
unknown if anyone was injured in the chaos. US Attorney
(08:11):
Bill A. Saley is doing a great job, by the way,
wrote on x FBI has issued a fifty thousand dollars
award for information leading the conviction of an unknown subject
who appeared to fire a pistol at federal law enforcement
officers near Camrio. The shooting occurred on seven ten, twenty five,
(08:32):
at approximately two twenty six pm on Laguna Road between
Wood Road and Las Posos Road. He also shared helicopter
news footage of the gunman. Does not appear that any
of the officers was hit.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The reason for that is bad guys don't spend time
at the range. Bad guys are notoriously bad shots. That's
why if there's a shootout, if the office, usually the
ambush the officer. But if a law enforcement has a
straight up opportunity with some degree of parity to what
the weaponry, they're going to win, especially if it's a handgun.
(09:13):
Because thugs don't practice. They just carry it around and
point it at people all the time. They don't ever
actually practice firing it. Their accuracy is leave something to
be desired. US Customs Border Patrol Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott
said the raid was a marijuana farm and that ten
(09:34):
juveniles who are in the country without authorization, were found
working there. He says the farm is now under investigation
for child labor violations. This story is turning out to reveal,
as so many do, that illegal immigration is more than
just people coming into the country illegally. It is the
(09:56):
exploitation of children for work, violating child labor laws in
this country. It is the exploitation of children for sex,
sex trafficking, rape, the most horrible things, and many of them.
The child is being used for multiple purposes, as a
(10:17):
drug trafficker, as a victim of sexual abuse, and then
simultaneously put to work at little or no pay. They're
treating these individuals as slaves, and it's evil. This is
why when a deportation raid in a park in Los
(10:39):
Angeles recently was conducted, the mayor there, Karen Bass, was
very upset.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It was very upset.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Because these were children and these children were playing in
the park. Oh well, Middle America suburban mom out there says, well,
that's I don't want little children playing out in the
park to be grabbed up looped up and sent somewhere,
and then footage emerged. No children in the park. It
(11:07):
is a cesspool. It is a bizarre b a z
a ar not bizarre e. It is a bizarre a
market place for drug transactions and prostitution. No children are
playing there, nor would you want them to be. But
isn't it interesting? You see it's almost as if they
(11:31):
are putting a lipstick on a peg and selling it
to you in hopes that you'll never actually see what
was going on there. It wasn't children playing in the park,
not even close. It was violence. It was sex trafficking,
it was drug trafficking. It was absolutely vile. And now
(11:56):
what do we have. We have law enforcement agency shot
at This is five oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Seven, Jim.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
This is Tom Holman on with Politico's dash of burns,
and he's talking about the attacks on ice officers.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Folks, this is where the violence is.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
This is where and these ice officers, they're my brother
and your sister, their mother's fathers, They're people who wanted
to serve this country and they're getting shot at. Some
of the We're gonna end up dying at the hands
of illegal aliens who are violent and they're left wing
media and Democrats who are protecting them.
Speaker 12 (12:34):
I think one of the things that's had a lot
of folks up in arms is that ICE agents, unlike
other law enforcement, have been masked to protect their identities.
That's not something that we've really had on this scale
in this country.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
To you, well, we never have a scale of attacks
on ICE. We have all seven attacks on ICE, docksing against.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
The cutting choice, attacks on police officers as well in
the wake of the defund the police movement too.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But they have masks on you.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Name name of police, name a police agency. I said,
seven hundred percent increase on assaults.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Name one. I haven't that data. Yeah, you won't find one.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
The tax and ices on president seven hundred percent increase.
And we're not even talking about the docting of agents,
their spouses and their children. So they're wearing a mask
to help give them some sword protection. But when the
same people are complaining about ICE wearing masks that they
ever said anything about BLM protests or mass let me
let me answer, though, Let me answer, did you ever
(13:29):
say anything about the mass protester that became criminals on
college campuses that threatened Jewish students and took over buildings,
destroy property. They were all wearing masks, and anybody passed
legislation saying they can't wear a master and a protest. No,
we're talking about law enforcements.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Who are upset about that.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But the.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Legislation proposed to remove mass from protesters that become criminals
that take over college campus. You haven't look at the
BLM protests, So how many lives you lost? How much
property are stilling? They all wear a mask. Did anybody
propose legislation they gonna wear a mask in public while
you're protesting her?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
No, there isn't.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
This is an attack on ICE officer. The Democrats want
to vilify men and women of Ice, on boords on
Ice from day one when President Trump went off and
I came back and said, now the vilification starts right now.
The racist Ice, the racist Borgchow for simply enforcing the
law to deal with the repercussions of Biden administration's open borders,
where mays of criminals and public states and trusts released
(14:24):
in this country. So I support ICE wear mass. You're
still wearing signia. They've got HSI, E, R O A
or FBI DA. But there needs to be some level
of protection because the tax is unprecedented, seven hundred percent
for gods say, And what I want to remind people
is I was.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
An ice agent.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
These men and women in ice, their mothers and fathers too.
They don't hang their heart on a hook every day
they come to work. They're not the beast. They're enforcing
a law. They're trying to make this country safe again,
and they're being vilified for it and tagged for it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And I don't and we're not going to tolerate zero
tolerance on this.
Speaker 17 (14:58):
The Michael Varry Show. The number of things I need
to unpack, and I don't know that I can do
it in one segment.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm doing my best.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Washington Post headline Defense Department to begin using Groc Musk's
controversial AI model. What they offer as controversy is that
last week there was I'll read it. Groc came under
fire last week after launching into an antisemitic rant and
(15:34):
invoking Adolf Hitler after it was programmed to be less
politically correct. The incident prompted the company to say it
would improve its model. A day later, Xai unveiled a
sweeping update that it claimed put grock on the cutting
edge of AI development. So GROC, which is Elon Musk's
(15:59):
tool made through his Twitter portal, is controversial. Okay, there
was clearly a garbage in, garbage out programming mistake made. However,
there have been these mistakes made, not this one in particular,
(16:19):
on other AI models, and yet they're not called controversial,
which is akin to the fact that Trump will be
described as controversial when say, Barack Obama or Bernie Sanders won't.
Trump will be described as embattled, whereas Hillary Clinton won't,
(16:47):
Ted Cruz or Elon Musk or most anybody else on
our side of the aisle will be described as controversial
or right wing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Do you ever.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Notice that you will never see left wing nuts referred
to as left wing, But our folks are commonly basted
with the broad brush of right wing, out of touch
(17:22):
with the mainstream. It's a very subtle way to smear someone,
very subtle way to marginalize them. They're out of touch
with you. Because studies over a long period of time,
although these numbers have changed a bit, semantics matter. Most
(17:44):
people view themselves somewhere in the middle. Most people view
themselves somewhere in the middle, economically as well.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The middle class.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
The middle class is, to be clear, a bell curve
in this country. And if you don't know what a
bell curve is, let's make this very easy. A bell
curve is if you think of what a bell looks like.
It's big in the middle, and then it comes over
like an upside down you, and then as it gets
(18:18):
towards the bottom, it kind of fans out. So most
people aren't on the far left, which would be very poor.
It's a small sliver, and then it starts getting bigger
toward the middle. That's the middle class, and then as
it comes back down, that's.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
On the far right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
If you drew a bell on the far right of
this graph, that is the super rich. So most people
in America aren't super rich or super poor. There's somewhere
in the middle. It's a bell curve. And that is
true financially, and it is true politically. People fall somewhere
along there. The question is understanding where you fall relative
(19:01):
to everyone else, because if they convince you that Trump
is right wing, then you think, oh, well, if I
don't agree with everything he thinks, I'm over here, but
actually he's not right wing, and I'll give you the
(19:21):
best example. The media that Harry Inton, the guy who
does the who reports on the polls that CNN commissions nowadays.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Has been I think somewhat forthright now.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I don't know what he leaves on the cutting room floor,
but he has run a lot of stories about how
popular deportations are, and deportations are closer to one hundred
percent than they are less than fifty percent, not just
among Republicans, among Democrats as well. So when Trump talks
(19:58):
about deportation, building wall.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Sending them back.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Raids, you might think he's right wing if you don't
know where the American people are. But if the American
people agree with him, that's not right wing unless everybody
in the country is right wing, because we're doing this
(20:25):
on a relative scale. If on that relative scale he's
somewhere right in the middle, he's not right wing anymore.
So why use the term right wing? But I told
you there are several things to unpack here. Artificial intelligence
has already affected our lives in ways you can't even imagine,
(20:48):
and has for years. If you've got an Amazon created
box next to your bed that wakes you up on
a voice command, and you you typically a woman's name
as the activator. Then you've been using AI for a
long period of time, far more than you realize. The
(21:13):
seemingly intuitive use of technology, use of data to chatbots.
If you've called, if you've gone online and you've asked
for customer service, and they go, well, we really don't
like to have to pay human beings to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What if we do a chatbot?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And younger people are far more likely to do that
than older people. Older people like me go, uh, I'm
calling you. I'm not even going through your website. I
want to talk to a human being on the phone. Well,
eventually that will be practically impossible, if not impossible, they've
already pushed us away from interact with interacting.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
With human beings by not answering the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The old phone tree, remember that used to you'd call
and they'd pick up and tell you where the company was,
and they hoped you were having a great day. They
may say it's a great day where they are, and
then you would ask a question that didn't require anyone else.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
To be involved. What time do y'all close? Where are
you located? What are your hours of operation?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Those sorts of things, and that person would answer your
phone problem solved. Then it became the case they said,
we're going to take that person out and we're going
to replace that person with technology.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So now you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Called and you had to push this. For this, you
had to play in the phone tree game. But eventually
you'd get a human being. But now they had reduced
the number of people by funneling you into what your
conversation was about. And then they moved it overseas to
India and then a number of other countries, but still
(22:52):
primarily India. And then they decided, even that's too much work.
We still have to pay human beings. And the Indians
are and prouder and prouder their services. More competition, the
driving up wages. So now we'll have these chatbots. But
the more reliant you become on artificial intelligence and technology generally,
(23:13):
the more the truth is an abstract, that's all relative.
It can be recreated, it's or well come to life.
If you ask who was the president in this year?
If you ask how do you get pregnant? If you
ask who's the biggest racist? And the objective response or
(23:35):
so you think, has been programmed in based on biases.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now you own the truth changing the name of the
Gulf of Mexico to.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
The Gulf of michael Berry, which has a beautiful way.
This next story takes us to our friends in upstate
New York in Rochester, the historic city of so many
famed legacy American companies is It's brought to us by
(24:10):
Wham TV, the TV station there. Wham. A Rochester man
describes an encounter with a large cat.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Believed to be a mountain lion.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
The Rochester Police Department said it became aware of a
video on social media that appears to show the animal,
which some people claim is a mountain lion. POPO said
they received numerous calls of reported sightings. A shelter in
place was ordered in the area and then lifted after
they were unable to verify the presence of a wild animal.
(24:44):
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said be
based on the doorbell video and the measurements taken at
the site Thursday, the animal in the video does appear
to possibly be a cougar. Be careful for us those
ladies are get you. Assuming the video has not been altered.
(25:04):
The dec said, if it is a cougar, it is
most likely not a wild cat, but a divorcee.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is not a wild cat that arrived to the
region on its own, but rather a cat that was
previously captive, possibly as an illegal pet.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
M all right.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Then the fellow himself and his audio, his his vocals
are what made this story go viral.
Speaker 18 (25:37):
Curtis Jones says he was walking near Robbert Street late
Wednesday when he saw people running from what appeared to
be a large wild cat.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I thought, see the people.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
I'll just see some big just walking just right over here,
right everybody way right over here. I swear I promised
they were right over there.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Just I just cut walk.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
I've seen it, seen me see it, so ama had
I might not gotta go, man, I'm out.
Speaker 18 (26:02):
Rochester Police say officers became aware of a video on
social media that appears to show a wildcat, which some
people claim is a Mountain lion. RPD says it received
numerous calls of reported sightings, including one year North Clinton
Avenue in Robert Street just after midnight about like this.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bit war it was.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
It was just walking Slytherin like it was.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 18 (26:26):
A shelter in place was ordered and then lifted when
RPD was unable to verify the presence of a wild animal.
Police say no reports have been substantiated. Jones tells me
he remains on edge.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Got to keep this bad right here.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I'm gonna keep this bad right here.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's okay.
Speaker 11 (26:43):
I'm protect this. I ain't gonna let not happen. So
it's not okay. They ain't find it. Last night's still
out here. Could be all heard in one of these bushes.
And you know, I'm Mountain Lion.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Wow, I'm crowling lord serious.
Speaker 18 (26:55):
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office assisted the investigation by using
an aerial. The Senica Park Becauzoo told thirteen whim all
of its animals are accounted for.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
I don't play with lions, I don't play with tigers, bears,
not with the wild. I don't play with those, I
promise you. I don't even do roller coasters. I'm gloved, and.
Speaker 18 (27:15):
RPD says until the validity of the original video can
be confirmed, it urges the public to remain vigilant. If
anyone observes a large wild animal, they are advised to
go indoors and call them nine one one wow.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Mountain lions are not to be trifled with.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know, folks in folks in Colorado love at dinner
parties to talk about a bear sighting. But most bears
are not predators. You've got to stumble on them and
leave them with no position to get out.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
My brother used to point out years and years he
would he would every year there would be in some
deer hunting magazine he got, and he got them all,
there would be some guy who had a deer. You
think about how meek a deer is, and he'd come
up on some buck and he'd be close enough that
(28:12):
maybe the buck was was wounded, and it would be
at the corners of high game fencing, so the buck
couldn't jump out, And he would decide that after hunting
these deer for so long, he wanted to touch one,
kind of almost like his own pet. So there he
goes and get up close on the thing. Well, that guy,
(28:37):
doesn't you just put a bullet in him. He's scared
to death, and so what does he do. He reacts
in a life saving manner and shreds the idiot hunter
to pieces. When my brother said, it happens every year,
no matter what it's just there's always good. There are
(28:58):
always going to be people who do that. Richard McDonald
died on this day in nineteen ninety eight. He was
the co founder of McDonald's with his brother not Ronald Maurice.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
He died at eighty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
In nineteen forty eight, the brothers fully redesigned and rebuilt
their restaurant in San Bernardino to focus on a reduced
menu consisting of nine items. In addition to their fifteen
cent hamburger, the menu would include a cheeseburger, soft drinks,
milk coffee, potato chips, non French fries, and a slice
(29:34):
of pie. If you've seen the movie The Founder, they're
the ones that do the orchestra on how they do
the orchestrated movement of how this whole thing is supposed
to work. In fact, ray krock in a sort of However,
you either bought the company from them, stole the company
from them, defrauded them of the company. However you want
to perceive that it's one of is Michael Keaton one
(29:57):
of his finest movies, The Founder.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
It's really real good.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
The McDonald brother's restaurant was a success, and with the
goal of making a million dollars before they turned fifty.
The McDonald brothers began franchising their system in nineteen fifty three,
beginning with a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, operated by Neil Fox.
The brothers drew the attention of Ray Kroc, a milkshake
mixer salesman for Prince Castle, after they purchased eight of
(30:25):
his multi mixers for their San Bernardino, California restaurant. He
visited the restaurant in nineteen fifty four. That year, the
McDonald's brothers hired Kroc as their franchise agent. He took
one point nine percent of the gross sales, of which
the McDonald brothers got one half of one percent, so
(30:46):
he's four to one on them. Krop became frustrated with
the McDonald brothers desire to maintain a small number of restaurants.
The brothers also consistently told him he could not make
changes to things as the original blueprint, but his pleased.
The brothers never sent any formal letters that legally allowed
the changes in the chain. In nineteen sixty one, he
(31:08):
would buy the company for two point seven million dollars,
calculated so as to ensure each brother received a million
dollars after taxes, they would end up splitting as you
know in the movie. But here is Willard Scott in
the first ever Ronald McDonald commercial and new thing.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Good thank you, and good night,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Is on the air that she oughts a couple of
months old, and if you want to really see something
that said, take a look at what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
That.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
The part of why I admire and support Joe Biden
is that his tone has been geared towards trying to
bring us together.
Speaker 6 (00:28):
The Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by
Donald Trump and the Magyar Republicans, and that is a
threat to this country.
Speaker 7 (00:37):
Others are directly pointing the finger at President Biden, with
of course no evidence that he incited this.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
We told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed, but it's not.
We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it,
each and every one of us.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We're all called.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
By duty and conscious to confront it. Dreams will put
their own pursuit of power above all else.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'd like to take it behind the gym if.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I were in high school. We're in high school. I've
taken behind the gym and beat the hell up.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
Other people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and
Hitler and the use of the terminology like vermin and
the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship.
All he cares about is selfish self promotion. That's the
only philosophy he has, which makes it even more dangerous.
Speaker 8 (01:32):
Vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that
you ever get to vote in. And again, I don't
say that lightly, and I think is heartbreaking that that's
where we are. But people have to recognize that the
vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the constant.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
And then the biggest threat that officials they're telling me
tonight is in the form of retaliatory violencing and just.
Speaker 9 (01:52):
Sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry,
this will all work itself out. They're still going to
have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
And it is frankly on patriotic at this moment to
be soaking the plans when we know that we are
sitting on a cauldron attentions.
Speaker 8 (02:05):
The perission structure for violence.
Speaker 10 (02:07):
You've got polls about political violence Democrats still think is
a good idea.
Speaker 11 (02:10):
Only pro when was the last time not your assassinated
the president?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
I have thoughts an all will lot about blowing up
the White House.
Speaker 12 (02:19):
You have relieved, the world win, and you will pay
a ride.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
If it's just a warning to you Trump, be careful,
walk lightly and for those of you who are soldiers, to.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Make them pay, I will go and take Trump out
to that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'd be ready to throw a punch. We had to
be able to throw a punch.
Speaker 13 (02:45):
For showing you this video on repeat, because these events
just happened. But we want to make clear that this
is something we are reporting to you as a historic
event as it unfolds. But we are very mindful that
this kind of event can inspire violence, it can inspire retaliation,
and we want no part.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Of that assassination. A year later, there's two more bits
of audio I want to play for you. One of
them comes from WPXITV. The Trump shooter was spotted by
a counter sniper nearly thirty minutes before. Folks, this cannot
and does not happen clips six seventeen go.
Speaker 10 (03:28):
I've learned from multiple sources tonight that Beaver County's Emergency
Services Unit had counter snipers here at the rally on Saturday,
and one of them spotted the shooter not once, but
twice before shots were ever fired.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Now, according to.
Speaker 10 (03:43):
My sources, the ESU team had eight members on scene
here in Butler County providing assistance to the former president's rally.
I'm told one of the counter snipers spotted a suspicious
man scoping out the roof of a building. It's not
clear if he had a gun on him. At this point,
the counters nipper took a picture, and we now know
the man in that picture was Thomas Crooks. My sources
(04:05):
tell me the counter sniper called it into the command
center with the picture, but when law enforcement got to
that spot, Crooks was gone. Then at five point forty five,
just before the program was to begin, the same counter
sniper spotted Crooks again, this time on the roof. He
took a second picture and called it into the command center.
Twenty six minutes later, those shots rang out, as police say,
(04:28):
Crooks fired from the roof at mister Trump, raising him,
killing a former fire chief and injuring two others. And
tonight we have learned that the FBI plans to talk
to those Emergency Services Unit members in Beaver County later
on this week.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let us not forget Corey Comparatory was killed in all
of this, a father, a husband, a firefighter, a friend,
His widow is blasting the Secret Service for only suspending
six agents. She says she wants to sit down and
she wants answers why her husband is dead.
Speaker 14 (05:07):
Remarkable, we're learning that there were six agents who have
been suspended. Of course, the director of the agency resigned
last year after the disastrous hearings in Congress. Do you
feel like do you feel like the Congress is getting
to the bottom of these questions? And do you believe
(05:28):
that that's you know that the that the more people
should actually face consequences for the mistakes that happened that.
Speaker 15 (05:35):
Day, suspending them when my husband was killed, you know
that's a punishment.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Well, has anyone reached out to you at all, Helen,
to try to walk you through what happened?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Are you having conversations?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Have you been invited to have Congress stations with anyone
who can at least attempt to explain what went wrong?
Speaker 16 (06:07):
Yes, Dan Bongino did call me. We did walk through
a lot of what happened that day with Thomas Crooks,
and he was very kind and left me his phone
number and said I can call him anytime.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me that Dan Bongino did that.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
What else do you want?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
What else do you want from from our government?
Speaker 16 (06:33):
I want to sit down with the Secret Service and
I want them to tell me everything that happened that day.
I want to know why they failed. I want to
know what happened. Why Butler? Why was that such a
failure that day?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What was the reason?
Speaker 16 (06:49):
Why did he walk around for an hour without someone
grabbing him?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Why they are telling me what's called one days? These
little things clothing for a baby? I love, love good
Barry Ship one of all these ones.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
There has been escalating left wing violence against law enforcement
in this country. A liberal thug opened fire at ICE
agents during a raid in California. Media outlets doing their
jobs of protecting the left, and they referred to the
(07:27):
gunman as a protester, A protester. Isn't that convenient? The
January sixth protesters were not protesters, They were violent murderers
and rapists, even though they weren't. But a guy who's
firing on ICE doing their job, he's a protester. ABC
(07:50):
seven eyewitness news there said a protester was seen apparently
firing some kind of weapon at federal agents during the
immigration rate at a farm near Kimrio on Thursday. It's
unknown if anyone was injured in the chaos. US Attorney
(08:11):
Bill A. Saley is doing a great job, by the way,
wrote on x FBI has issued a fifty thousand dollars
award for information leading the conviction of an unknown subject
who appeared to fire a pistol at federal law enforcement
officers near Camrio. The shooting occurred on seven ten, twenty five,
(08:32):
at approximately two twenty six pm on Laguna Road between
Wood Road and Las Posos Road. He also shared helicopter
news footage of the gunman. Does not appear that any
of the officers was hit.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The reason for that is bad guys don't spend time
at the range. Bad guys are notoriously bad shots. That's
why if there's a shootout, if the office, usually the
ambush the officer. But if a law enforcement has a
straight up opportunity with some degree of parity to what
the weaponry, they're going to win, especially if it's a handgun.
(09:13):
Because thugs don't practice. They just carry it around and
point it at people all the time. They don't ever
actually practice firing it. Their accuracy is leave something to
be desired. US Customs Border Patrol Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott
said the raid was a marijuana farm and that ten
(09:34):
juveniles who are in the country without authorization, were found
working there. He says the farm is now under investigation
for child labor violations. This story is turning out to reveal,
as so many do, that illegal immigration is more than
just people coming into the country illegally. It is the
(09:56):
exploitation of children for work, violating child labor laws in
this country. It is the exploitation of children for sex,
sex trafficking, rape, the most horrible things, and many of them.
The child is being used for multiple purposes, as a
(10:17):
drug trafficker, as a victim of sexual abuse, and then
simultaneously put to work at little or no pay. They're
treating these individuals as slaves, and it's evil. This is
why when a deportation raid in a park in Los
(10:39):
Angeles recently was conducted, the mayor there, Karen Bass, was
very upset.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It was very upset.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Because these were children and these children were playing in
the park. Oh well, Middle America suburban mom out there says, well,
that's I don't want little children playing out in the
park to be grabbed up looped up and sent somewhere,
and then footage emerged. No children in the park. It
(11:07):
is a cesspool. It is a bizarre b a z
a ar not bizarre e. It is a bizarre a
market place for drug transactions and prostitution. No children are
playing there, nor would you want them to be. But
isn't it interesting? You see it's almost as if they
(11:31):
are putting a lipstick on a peg and selling it
to you in hopes that you'll never actually see what
was going on there. It wasn't children playing in the park,
not even close. It was violence. It was sex trafficking,
it was drug trafficking. It was absolutely vile. And now
(11:56):
what do we have. We have law enforcement agency shot
at This is five oh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Seven, Jim.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
This is Tom Holman on with Politico's dash of burns,
and he's talking about the attacks on ice officers.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Folks, this is where the violence is.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
This is where and these ice officers, they're my brother
and your sister, their mother's fathers, They're people who wanted
to serve this country and they're getting shot at. Some
of the We're gonna end up dying at the hands
of illegal aliens who are violent and they're left wing
media and Democrats who are protecting them.
Speaker 12 (12:34):
I think one of the things that's had a lot
of folks up in arms is that ICE agents, unlike
other law enforcement, have been masked to protect their identities.
That's not something that we've really had on this scale
in this country.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
To you, well, we never have a scale of attacks
on ICE. We have all seven attacks on ICE, docksing against.
Speaker 12 (12:52):
The cutting choice, attacks on police officers as well in
the wake of the defund the police movement too.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But they have masks on you.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Name name of police, name a police agency. I said,
seven hundred percent increase on assaults.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Name one. I haven't that data. Yeah, you won't find one.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
The tax and ices on president seven hundred percent increase.
And we're not even talking about the docting of agents,
their spouses and their children. So they're wearing a mask
to help give them some sword protection. But when the
same people are complaining about ICE wearing masks that they
ever said anything about BLM protests or mass let me
let me answer, though, Let me answer, did you ever
(13:29):
say anything about the mass protester that became criminals on
college campuses that threatened Jewish students and took over buildings,
destroy property. They were all wearing masks, and anybody passed
legislation saying they can't wear a master and a protest. No,
we're talking about law enforcements.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Who are upset about that.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But the.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Legislation proposed to remove mass from protesters that become criminals
that take over college campus. You haven't look at the
BLM protests, So how many lives you lost? How much
property are stilling? They all wear a mask. Did anybody
propose legislation they gonna wear a mask in public while
you're protesting her?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
No, there isn't.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
This is an attack on ICE officer. The Democrats want
to vilify men and women of Ice, on boords on
Ice from day one when President Trump went off and
I came back and said, now the vilification starts right now.
The racist Ice, the racist Borgchow for simply enforcing the
law to deal with the repercussions of Biden administration's open borders,
where mays of criminals and public states and trusts released
(14:24):
in this country. So I support ICE wear mass. You're
still wearing signia. They've got HSI, E, R O A
or FBI DA. But there needs to be some level
of protection because the tax is unprecedented, seven hundred percent
for gods say, And what I want to remind people
is I was.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
An ice agent.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
These men and women in ice, their mothers and fathers too.
They don't hang their heart on a hook every day
they come to work. They're not the beast. They're enforcing
a law. They're trying to make this country safe again,
and they're being vilified for it and tagged for it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And I don't and we're not going to tolerate zero
tolerance on this.
Speaker 17 (14:58):
The Michael Varry Show. The number of things I need
to unpack, and I don't know that I can do
it in one segment.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm doing my best.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Washington Post headline Defense Department to begin using Groc Musk's
controversial AI model. What they offer as controversy is that
last week there was I'll read it. Groc came under
fire last week after launching into an antisemitic rant and
(15:34):
invoking Adolf Hitler after it was programmed to be less
politically correct. The incident prompted the company to say it
would improve its model. A day later, Xai unveiled a
sweeping update that it claimed put grock on the cutting
edge of AI development. So GROC, which is Elon Musk's
(15:59):
tool made through his Twitter portal, is controversial. Okay, there
was clearly a garbage in, garbage out programming mistake made. However,
there have been these mistakes made, not this one in particular,
(16:19):
on other AI models, and yet they're not called controversial,
which is akin to the fact that Trump will be
described as controversial when say, Barack Obama or Bernie Sanders won't.
Trump will be described as embattled, whereas Hillary Clinton won't,
(16:47):
Ted Cruz or Elon Musk or most anybody else on
our side of the aisle will be described as controversial
or right wing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Do you ever.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Notice that you will never see left wing nuts referred
to as left wing, But our folks are commonly basted
with the broad brush of right wing, out of touch
(17:22):
with the mainstream. It's a very subtle way to smear someone,
very subtle way to marginalize them. They're out of touch
with you. Because studies over a long period of time,
although these numbers have changed a bit, semantics matter. Most
(17:44):
people view themselves somewhere in the middle. Most people view
themselves somewhere in the middle, economically as well.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The middle class.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
The middle class is, to be clear, a bell curve
in this country. And if you don't know what a
bell curve is, let's make this very easy. A bell
curve is if you think of what a bell looks like.
It's big in the middle, and then it comes over
like an upside down you, and then as it gets
(18:18):
towards the bottom, it kind of fans out. So most
people aren't on the far left, which would be very poor.
It's a small sliver, and then it starts getting bigger
toward the middle. That's the middle class, and then as
it comes back down, that's.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
On the far right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
If you drew a bell on the far right of
this graph, that is the super rich. So most people
in America aren't super rich or super poor. There's somewhere
in the middle. It's a bell curve. And that is
true financially, and it is true politically. People fall somewhere
along there. The question is understanding where you fall relative
(19:01):
to everyone else, because if they convince you that Trump
is right wing, then you think, oh, well, if I
don't agree with everything he thinks, I'm over here, but
actually he's not right wing, and I'll give you the
(19:21):
best example. The media that Harry Inton, the guy who
does the who reports on the polls that CNN commissions nowadays.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Has been I think somewhat forthright now.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I don't know what he leaves on the cutting room floor,
but he has run a lot of stories about how
popular deportations are, and deportations are closer to one hundred
percent than they are less than fifty percent, not just
among Republicans, among Democrats as well. So when Trump talks
(19:58):
about deportation, building wall.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Sending them back.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Raids, you might think he's right wing if you don't
know where the American people are. But if the American
people agree with him, that's not right wing unless everybody
in the country is right wing, because we're doing this
(20:25):
on a relative scale. If on that relative scale he's
somewhere right in the middle, he's not right wing anymore.
So why use the term right wing? But I told
you there are several things to unpack here. Artificial intelligence
has already affected our lives in ways you can't even imagine,
(20:48):
and has for years. If you've got an Amazon created
box next to your bed that wakes you up on
a voice command, and you you typically a woman's name
as the activator. Then you've been using AI for a
long period of time, far more than you realize. The
(21:13):
seemingly intuitive use of technology, use of data to chatbots.
If you've called, if you've gone online and you've asked
for customer service, and they go, well, we really don't
like to have to pay human beings to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What if we do a chatbot?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And younger people are far more likely to do that
than older people. Older people like me go, uh, I'm
calling you. I'm not even going through your website. I
want to talk to a human being on the phone. Well,
eventually that will be practically impossible, if not impossible, they've
already pushed us away from interact with interacting.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
With human beings by not answering the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The old phone tree, remember that used to you'd call
and they'd pick up and tell you where the company was,
and they hoped you were having a great day. They
may say it's a great day where they are, and
then you would ask a question that didn't require anyone else.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
To be involved. What time do y'all close? Where are
you located? What are your hours of operation?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Those sorts of things, and that person would answer your
phone problem solved. Then it became the case they said,
we're going to take that person out and we're going
to replace that person with technology.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So now you.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Called and you had to push this. For this, you
had to play in the phone tree game. But eventually
you'd get a human being. But now they had reduced
the number of people by funneling you into what your
conversation was about. And then they moved it overseas to
India and then a number of other countries, but still
(22:52):
primarily India. And then they decided, even that's too much work.
We still have to pay human beings. And the Indians
are and prouder and prouder their services. More competition, the
driving up wages. So now we'll have these chatbots. But
the more reliant you become on artificial intelligence and technology generally,
(23:13):
the more the truth is an abstract, that's all relative.
It can be recreated, it's or well come to life.
If you ask who was the president in this year?
If you ask how do you get pregnant? If you
ask who's the biggest racist? And the objective response or
(23:35):
so you think, has been programmed in based on biases.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now you own the truth changing the name of the
Gulf of Mexico to.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
The Gulf of michael Berry, which has a beautiful way.
This next story takes us to our friends in upstate
New York in Rochester, the historic city of so many
famed legacy American companies is It's brought to us by
(24:10):
Wham TV, the TV station there. Wham. A Rochester man
describes an encounter with a large cat.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Believed to be a mountain lion.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
The Rochester Police Department said it became aware of a
video on social media that appears to show the animal,
which some people claim is a mountain lion. POPO said
they received numerous calls of reported sightings. A shelter in
place was ordered in the area and then lifted after
they were unable to verify the presence of a wild animal.
(24:44):
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said be
based on the doorbell video and the measurements taken at
the site Thursday, the animal in the video does appear
to possibly be a cougar. Be careful for us those
ladies are get you. Assuming the video has not been altered.
(25:04):
The dec said, if it is a cougar, it is
most likely not a wild cat, but a divorcee.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is not a wild cat that arrived to the
region on its own, but rather a cat that was
previously captive, possibly as an illegal pet.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
M all right.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Then the fellow himself and his audio, his his vocals
are what made this story go viral.
Speaker 18 (25:37):
Curtis Jones says he was walking near Robbert Street late
Wednesday when he saw people running from what appeared to
be a large wild cat.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I thought, see the people.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
I'll just see some big just walking just right over here,
right everybody way right over here. I swear I promised
they were right over there.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Just I just cut walk.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
I've seen it, seen me see it, so ama had
I might not gotta go, man, I'm out.
Speaker 18 (26:02):
Rochester Police say officers became aware of a video on
social media that appears to show a wildcat, which some
people claim is a Mountain lion. RPD says it received
numerous calls of reported sightings, including one year North Clinton
Avenue in Robert Street just after midnight about like this.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bit war it was.
Speaker 11 (26:22):
It was just walking Slytherin like it was.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 18 (26:26):
A shelter in place was ordered and then lifted when
RPD was unable to verify the presence of a wild animal.
Police say no reports have been substantiated. Jones tells me
he remains on edge.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
Got to keep this bad right here.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I'm gonna keep this bad right here.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's okay.

And you know, I'm Mountain Lion.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office assisted the investigation by using
an aerial. The Senica Park Becauzoo told thirteen whim all

RPD says until the validity of the original video can

anyone observes a large wild animal, they are advised to
go indoors and call them nine one one wow.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Mountain lions are not to be trifled with.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know, folks in folks in Colorado love at dinner
parties to talk about a bear sighting. But most bears
are not predators. You've got to stumble on them and
leave them with no position to get out.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
My brother used to point out years and years he
would he would every year there would be in some
deer hunting magazine he got, and he got them all,
there would be some guy who had a deer. You
think about how meek a deer is, and he'd come
up on some buck and he'd be close enough that
(28:12):
maybe the buck was was wounded, and it would be
at the corners of high game fencing, so the buck
couldn't jump out, And he would decide that after hunting
these deer for so long, he wanted to touch one,
kind of almost like his own pet. So there he
goes and get up close on the thing. Well, that guy,
(28:37):
doesn't you just put a bullet in him. He's scared
to death, and so what does he do. He reacts
in a life saving manner and shreds the idiot hunter
to pieces. When my brother said, it happens every year,
no matter what it's just there's always good. There are
(28:58):
always going to be people who do that. Richard McDonald
died on this day in nineteen ninety eight. He was
the co founder of McDonald's with his brother not Ronald Maurice.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
He died at eighty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
In nineteen forty eight, the brothers fully redesigned and rebuilt
their restaurant in San Bernardino to focus on a reduced
menu consisting of nine items. In addition to their fifteen
cent hamburger, the menu would include a cheeseburger, soft drinks,
milk coffee, potato chips, non French fries, and a slice
(29:34):
of pie. If you've seen the movie The Founder, they're
the ones that do the orchestra on how they do
the orchestrated movement of how this whole thing is supposed
to work. In fact, ray krock in a sort of However,
you either bought the company from them, stole the company
from them, defrauded them of the company. However you want
to perceive that it's one of is Michael Keaton one
(29:57):
of his finest movies, The Founder.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
It's really real good.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
The McDonald brother's restaurant was a success, and with the
goal of making a million dollars before they turned fifty.
The McDonald brothers began franchising their system in nineteen fifty three,
beginning with a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, operated by Neil Fox.
The brothers drew the attention of Ray Kroc, a milkshake
mixer salesman for Prince Castle, after they purchased eight of
(30:25):
his multi mixers for their San Bernardino, California restaurant. He
visited the restaurant in nineteen fifty four. That year, the
McDonald's brothers hired Kroc as their franchise agent. He took
one point nine percent of the gross sales, of which
the McDonald brothers got one half of one percent, so
(30:46):
he's four to one on them. Krop became frustrated with
the McDonald brothers desire to maintain a small number of restaurants.
The brothers also consistently told him he could not make
changes to things as the original blueprint, but his pleased.
The brothers never sent any formal letters that legally allowed
the changes in the chain. In nineteen sixty one, he
(31:08):
would buy the company for two point seven million dollars,
calculated so as to ensure each brother received a million
dollars after taxes, they would end up splitting as you
know in the movie. But here is Willard Scott in
the first ever Ronald McDonald commercial and new thing.
