Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. It really looks
like ancient Rome here.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the Colisey and everyone's cheering, and he's got his
political gladiators with him. That that appearance isn't just about
him enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the
Senate for sure, not only are you entertained, but these
are my.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
People and are you willing to fight? Because here's who
I have.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
to President Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For being here tonight. What do you gotta think about the.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Version of the Donald Trump take it out. I'm proud
to be a great American champion. I'm proud to be
(01:09):
a Christian American champion.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
The whole point with these nominees, several of them, is
their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That's Trump's point, because
what he wants to do with these nominees is establish
that the Congress sized states will not stand up to
him with anything.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
It's China retaliated today by reducing a number of American
films that can be shown there.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What's your reaction to them?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Targeting cultural escos in the United States, I think I've
heard of worse things.
Speaker 7 (01:42):
What kind of power and influence you think RFK Junior
would have You.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Know, Martha, I am outraged because lives are at stake here.
The head of Health and Human Services touches programs that
affect every single life in our country. I've been focusing
mainly on the public health impacts. As you know, I'm
a pediatrician. I practiced pediatrics for more than thirty years,
(02:07):
and there's nothing that I've done for my patients that
I know has more positive impact than getting them vaccinated
fully and on time. And to have someone leading AHHS
who is one of the biggest deniers of vaccines in
our country, would undermine the confidence in that program, and LIKELI,
would cost lives.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw an explosion
in chronic disease and American children. The neurological disease is
suddenly exploded in nineteen nine eighthd sleep disorders, languish delays, ASD, autism,
to red syndrome, tics, narcolepsy. These are all things that
(02:51):
I never heard of autism went from one in ten
thousand of my generation according to the CDC data, one
in every thirty four kids.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
That I received a lot of emails with personal experiences
after I talked last week, remembers on this show or
the other.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We do it morning and an evening show.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
It's all all five hours a day, or posted to
the podcast you can. You can listen to any show
you miss. You can listen to the shows that don't
air in your market on your station.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
iTunes, iHeart, Spotify were on all of them. So I
talked about my wife, who's from India, was in a
graduate she was working toward her PhD in economics. She
ended up switching to law school. But she had a
(03:48):
calculus class and she was telling me about this professor
from China and she couldn't understand a word he said.
And I said, well, listen, you might be from India
and I might be a white boy, but I think
I'm better at calculus than you are, because I like
to think i'm good at math. So I said, I
(04:12):
bet you're just not understanding the material. And she would say,
I'm telling you this guy I sound real charming Donna.
So she said, you come to my class seven o'clock
at night.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So I went.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
The professor was a teaching assistant, a TA. Because this
is what universities do. Nobody teaches. Universities are not for students.
If you're sending a kid to college, I need to
go ahead and tell you right now. Universities are not
for students. My son goes to the University of Texas,
he loves it. I think he's doing great. And I'm
(04:48):
not knocking the University of Texas. I'm not knocking my
alma model, University of Houston. I'm not knocking A and M, Auburn, Alabama, Miami, Florida,
or wherever else Tennessee, Oregon. I'm telling you this is
what's happening today. The university is not for the student.
(05:09):
It has nothing to do with the student. The only
thing that the university does for the student is provide
football games. And that's why when universities like Georgia, when
they when Kirby got them to be a dominant powerhouse
force and it was clear they were going to win
championships or play for them every year, I read that
(05:32):
their applications doubled and then tripled. University of Georgia did
not change the education you got, didn't change the.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Quality of the football team did.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Because people's football team is part of their identity. They
feel like they're a better person because the football team
they root for wins on Saturday, and likewise, the school
that aren't winning feel like the kids feel like, well,
they're losers because their team is not good, and somehow
(06:08):
they need to be embarrassed in the way that people
are embarrassed if they live in a mid sized town
that doesn't have a professional sports team, as if that
was going to change anything.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But whatever.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
So the student experience in this particular teaching assistance class,
because the professors don't profess anymore. It's not how you
probably know this, but you should always find out in
every field how success is measured. I'm surprised sometimes how
(06:41):
often people I will ask, what does success.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Look like for you?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
There's got to be a word for something that doesn't
really rise to the level of a documentary, but is
sort of factual in nature to guy's name. It's not
the professor of Rocket, it's a different guy, very well researched,
and it was on Prince and I was never a
big Prince fan, never got into Prince. I was always
(07:14):
kind of creeped out by the androgynist thing and it
wasn't really my style of music. But I have come
to appreciate the musicianship and this was about This was
about ten songs you didn't know that Prince influenced. So
of course she had more stay in the time because
that was his little minime band, and you had Sheila
(07:35):
e and you had but like uh, Stevie Nicks called
him when she wrote stand Back and said, I heard
Little Red Corvette and it inspired it inspired me to
write stand Back.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Well, most people know that he wrote nothing Compares to You,
which of course Shinead O'Connor made famous. Back to the pointment,
so at an American university, you should be able to
understand the teacher. And we have got to get very
comfortable making a statement like that, because the reason you
(08:19):
can't is because the response from the university, the media,
young people brought up into through this progressive crap.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The response is that's racist, that's.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
That's oh I can't remember words anymore, that's xenophobic.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You don't like foreigners. I love foreigners, married to one.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I like people when they're teaching me in an American
university to speak my language in a manner that I
can understand.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I think I'm pretty good with accents.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
If I can't understand you, then you're not speaking the
language well enough. I can guarantee you this. They wouldn't
let me teach a class in China in Chinese.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I don't believe that universities that are funded from massive,
massive tax infusions. Used to be that seventy five percent
of the expenses of the university were paid by the government,
only twenty five percent intuition. As expensive as tuition is,
it's still largely funded by the government. And the reason
(09:37):
is the students. I told you earlier, the student. The
university is not for the student. The university is for research,
and the research is to validate liberalism. Some very smart people,
very clever, far thinking people that spent a lot of
time strategizing. I mean, this is the diff between Bill
(10:00):
Belichick and your average run er, the bill coach. This
is a difference between Nick Saban and your average college
coach that is six and five every year. The amount
of thought that is brought the analysis, the idea was
we'll own the university.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How will we do that?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
And what will we do with owning the university? So
all the money comes in for research. I told you
earlier that you got to find out what success means.
When I have a new show sponsor that comes on,
we have a conversation about what does success.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Look like to you? What does it mean? Do you
just like hearing me say your name?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Or are you trying to build a brand with an
audience of people that share my values and probably yours two?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And is it your expectation out of.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
That that a certain number of them will buy your product.
Some of my show sponsors don't care if they sell
a product. They want their name be on the mind
of people who might give them a chance, who might
consider when they need that good or service doing that,
whether that's gold and silver or fighting the irs, or
(11:11):
fighting the insurance company or fighting off somebody, that's all
those different things. Well, when you understand it, the way
a university professor advances and who doesn't want advance is
through scholarship. You write things that nobody reads. And that's
being serious. Only people who read professor scholarship, their writings,
(11:34):
their journals the only people who read it are other professors.
So they have created the way a lot of industries do.
They have created their own little awards within awards to
pat each other on the back. And so you have
panels of scholars that's what professors are now, they're scholars.
You have panels of professors who review the scholarship of
(11:57):
other professors, and it's just whole racket. And then that scholarship,
that scholarship, if if it's science and technology or business,
some of that is funded by business who want research done,
and some of it is funded by Soros who wants
more scholarship that says, don't punish criminals, put them back
(12:20):
out on the street to murder more, because that's better.
And that's why so much scholarship quote unquote is on
green energy and the evil effects of coal, oil, nuclear,
because it's funded indirectly through foreign interest like the Chinese government.
(12:40):
I can give you a great example. Texas A and M University,
long considered a bastion of Texas values, American patriotism. Texas
A and M University has had a i don't know,
probably fifteen to twenty year association with Cutter Atar. You
(13:01):
can pronounce it Qatar or Cutter. I don't care. I
had a friend who was the ambassador to the place,
and he said it's pronounced cutter. So I say cutter
half the time in Qatar, half the time that place
Texas A and M University opened a campus and Cutter,
and that place has given a lot of money to
Texas A and M University.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Believe for Texas A and M. Good on you. I'm
happy for you. But what's the money for when you
consider that Cutter is.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
When you consider some of the things that have happened
through the Katari government and who they are associated with,
You're going to hear a lot of American politicians, especially Republicans,
tell you what a great country Cutter.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Is and how there are ally and they're our friend.
I don't believe that.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
And again I think more people need to be very
honest and speak openly about it. Professors ought to speak English.
Foreign governments should not be funding our universities. What are
they getting in return? Bizarre is on well done. So
this is the Michael Verie Show. A crazy fellow broke
(14:14):
into the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania. Governor of Pennsylvania is
named Josh Shapiro. He's a Jewish Democrat, and they were
having what's called Satyr, which is a dinner in observance
of Passover. It's a religious event, generally involves family fellowship.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's a really big deal. The guy who broke.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Into the house and set it on fire, and a good,
pretty bad fire. Didn't take the whole house down, but
it'll be a year of renovations, to be clear, and
it could have been even worse. He is self described
as a socialist. He hates MAGA and Christians. Now the
(15:10):
media is making out he's neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
We want to make sure we're not blaming this on Republicans.
He's not a Democrat or a Republican. He's a socialist
who hates Maga. What do you think that is. That's
like saying Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. And so
(15:30):
Senator Dave McCormick did what Republicans love to do.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He wrote to stupid I mean, stupid editorial. Let's see
fac it just the.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Dumbest thing ever. He wrote this stupid editorial. Here it is, uh,
let's see you gotta hear this line. This is such
a Mike Pence Republican thing to say Shapiro is a Democrat.
I'm a Republican who supports President Donald Trump. But this
(16:05):
isn't a moment for partisanship. It's time for Americans, all
Americans to disown, condemn, and make every effort to stop
political violence. We must likewise call on our political leaders
to avoid language that vilifies those on the other side.
(16:28):
I'm so sick of I'm wanting to cuss more than usual.
I'm so sick of weak need Republicans.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is the Bush Romney Ron Johnson model.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
At a moment like this, we must all hold our
heads up and adjust our bow tie, and we must
conde the violence. We must hold hands with the Democrats,
and we must say that we're all in this togetnar
And today it's not today for partisan chap you dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes it is because it's all Democrats who are doing this.
It's all lefties. Forget your stupid party, it's lefties.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Well, I've noticed that Black Lives Matter has burned down Mogadishu, Minnesota.
And this is neither a Democrat nor Republican issue. It
is violence, and we must condemn it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You can't condemn it, you jack assid Democrats can't because
they can't piss the blacks off. The Republicans can't because
they're so scared of being called a racist. We all
know what happened.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Well, I noticed that Antifa has burned down more buildings.
But this is not a Democrat or a Republican issue,
we must all, you idiot, it is.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's lefties, and the Democrats can't condemn them because they're
white liberals. These are the foot soldiers Democrat Party.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
And Republicans can't condemn him because Republicans are afraid of
condemning anything. And by the way, who cares what is
your condemnation doing. But we regret to inform you that
we are not in favor of this action that has
been taken on Governor Josh Shapiro. While he is a
Demograph and I'm a Republican and we may have our differences,
(18:24):
I would like it to be known entered into the
record that I oppose the burning down of his house
while he's inside of it with his children. I would
like to show you what a high minded Republican I am.
I am so tired of these mike pins Republicans who
stand for nothing. They just show up in there. They've
(18:48):
got their nice banker's suit, their shoes have been recently polished,
freshly polished. Their hair is perfectly cut, their nails are done.
They have their flag repelpin, and they say I stand
for all things that are good, and I viciously aggressively
oppose things that are bad.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, all right, let's get into what's good and bad.
Let's not split hairs right now.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
I would just like to remind you that I oppose
things that are bad and support things that are good. Okay,
that's fine, but we're going to have to be able
to say what things are good and what things are
bad so we can know what you're opposing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't want to divide, I want to unite. Oh good, Yes,
this is all very productive, isn't it very productive? Meanwhile,
American cattle rancher exposing that they've all been sold out,
they're at risk of going out of business, and your
meat is being imported. But we could we have the land,
(19:54):
the expertise.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
To put food on your table that is locally grown
by people who make a living off of it. But no,
it's being imported because our government has allowed this to happen.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
We used to make a fair amount of return on
the capital. But the industry has changed dramatically with the
government allowing the consolidation of the meat processing business. Four companies,
giant companies got together and decided to roll that up, consolidated,
and that's just business.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But when we get on the other side.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Of it, and we take into account the ramifications own
our national economic health, it has a very detrimental effect.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Our government allowed.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Two giant companies controlled by foreign governments to come in
and acquire One of them is controlled by the Chinese
and they bought Smithville out of North Carolina, and the
other one was a Brazilian company that came in and
bought up one of the other major players. So now
we have an industry eighty five percent of it actually
(21:08):
has been consolidated and rolled up and controlled by four companies.
Four companies now are dictating.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Who gets what where.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
And when they said, nobody thought our government would let
fifty percent or more of the beat processing be controlled
by countries outside of the US. It comes down to
our own food source security, the geopolitical situation we find
ourselves in. Why would we want to have an antagonist
own twenty five percent of our meat processing. It makes
(21:37):
no sense at.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All, So how did this happen?
Speaker 7 (21:42):
The wrong kind of people get into politics as elected officials,
as staffers, as lobbyists. These people do not care about
you or this country or what's best. They care about
their own power and their own money.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
They're very good, and they hire people who help them
do this.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
At telling you what you want to hear, We've got
to get comfortable throwing some Republicans out and replacing them
with better candidates.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Until we do that, you normally smell.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Mister Eadham to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
He got an email from someone earlier today and he said, yeah,
I hear you talking about Trump and Trump doing this
right and Trump doing that right, and we need to
support too. Well.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I remember back in sixteen, you weren't for him.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I've never denied that I wasn't for him because I
didn't think he would be the Trump we see now.
And by the way, and this is what people have
to understand, the Trump we see now was not the
Trump he was for thirty years before that. He's the
best president of my lifetime by far, by far. This
(22:54):
administration is the best administration in my lifetime, and we're
three months into it. I observe things and I comment
on them. If the other team outplays the team i'm
rooting for, I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Tell you the other team was terrible and my team
got cheated.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
I will say they outplayed us, and this guy played
well and our guy didn't. I don't think people tune
in to hear me say Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Trump
because they love Trump. There's enough shows that do that already.
That's not what I do. I observe.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So when I tell you I think Trump's doing the
right thing, it's not because I know you love him already.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I know that ninety percent of our audience. If Trump
tomorrow were to raise taxes, raise taxes and confiscate businesses,
they'd find a way to tell me how this was
for d chess and he's figured it all out. And
I would say, no, I'm against that. I don't like it,
and I think that it's not healthy when you do that.
(23:57):
That's for you to do, not for me to do.
And I tell you that Trump is doing something brilliant,
you can take it to.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The bank that I mean it. I'm not pandering.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
There's some other people that will tell you everything Trump
does it's great, It's wonderful all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's great, and they don't believe that. So with that
being said, one of Trump's greatest assets is that he
he if you are his enemy on Monday, and on
(24:31):
Tuesday he needs you. In a purely transactional way, he
can say, I love that guy right there.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
He's got a beautiful mind. He's a beautiful this. He's
a wonderful this. He's the best at this, and people
are going Whites said yesterday, you m.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
F him, and he doesn't care. It's completely transactional. He
is focused on the win.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
It's like a coach who can forget that a player
fumbled and put him back in because he's your best
player and we need him to score.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well. This is Trump at his best.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
He's got the highly partisan, awful governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer,
visiting the White House, and he gets her, remember he
won Michigan. He gets her supporting the tariffs, which of
course upsets the Democrats to no end and delights me.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I understand the motivation behind the tariffs, and I can
tell you here's where President Trump and I do agree
We do need to make more stuff in America for
cars and chips, for steel and ships. We do need
fair trade.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Lady, stop playing games.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
We do not need trade that we are worried about
the other side. What she's taught looking about is well,
we don't want to upset our Chinese overlords. I truly
believe if Americans understood how much money politicians are getting
(26:17):
from foreign interests now not always handed to them by
the Chinese, it could be handed to them by a
lobbyist here that lives in your neighborhood that works for
the Chinese. I think if people realized what was going on,
there would be an honest.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
To goodness violent revolution. I think there would be enough
people go rambo on this thing. I really do.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
I think it's that bad. I think it's that bad.
It would be that upsetting. I'm not encouraging that. That's
not what I'm saying, but I am tony. I think
if people understood how much these people, and not all
of them Democrats, plenty of Republicans I am for certain,
for certain, are on the tape. Here is Howard Lutnick,
who's turning out to really be an asset to this administration.
(27:05):
This was at a cabinet meeting a few days ago,
and he's giving an update. Each one of them is
going around the table. He's giving an update on countries
calling and you are not enough hours in the day.
Country is calling and wanting to negotiate a deal with
the United States.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Trump has turned the tables.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
People are saying, we'll wipe away our tariffs, and he
did it just like that. It could have been done.
We've talked about it for years. The Democrats have talked
about it for years. They didn't want to do it.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
So we've have so many countries to talk to.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
It is.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's incredible.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
I think Scott and I I'm not sure we could
ever have enough time in the day to talk to
all these countries because they want to talk, and they
want to talk now, and they have come with offers
that they never ever ever would have come with. Were
the moves that the President has made demanding that people
treat the United States with respect. We're getting the respect
(28:07):
we deserve now and I think you're going to see
stark deals one after the other. And then I'm very
excited that within a week and a half we're going
to start with the gold Cart and the Trump Card
is coming out and we're very excited about that and
that's coming soon, so very excited.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm going to say it again I said earlier the show.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
You need to prepare yourself because there are going to
be people who on our side are going to be
very upset. You're going to see businesses on shore, on shoring.
We used to see offshoring businesses leaving America to go
to the Caribbean, to go to other countries for various reasons.
(28:49):
You're going to see foreign companies moving at least some portion,
if not of operations.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Of administrative now, like everybody else, if.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
You're trying to get a permit or a renovation on
your home and they say, well, I can't give you
a permit for this, You'll have to do this, this
and this, and what's your answer, Well, can we shave
off the corner and just do that? Like, what's the
minimum we can do to get the damn permit? Because
you don't really care about their stupid rules. You know
that that municipality, county, state, whatever, official osha epa. He's
(29:27):
not making your life any better, he's not protecting you.
He's a power hungry fella. On a power kick, and
you just want to know what do I have to
do to get the permit to move down the road. Well,
that's what other countries are doing. They're not willingly taking
away tariffs that they believe are best for their country.
(29:49):
And remember, these folks all have they have to balance
their own domestic politics as well. They've got a steel
maker that doesn't want American steel coming in. They've got
farm interests that don't want America's agricultural products coming in.
(30:09):
That's why they that's why India puts seven hundred percent
tariffs on American So they're going to do whatever they
They are rushing in to cut deals if this happens.
If this happens, and they'll do everything they can to
delay it, going into a fact because they all everybody
(30:32):
wants things to stay status quo because it's in their interest,
not ours. If Trump is able to make this happen,
you're going to see America's economy explode, sending products around
the world, opening the American market to American companies. You know,
we had a shrimper on last week. We heard you
heard the farmer. There's so many American companies that can't
(30:55):
make it in this country because of cheap foreign imports
and if that changes its conveient.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
As Elvis has left between name, thank you and goodnight,
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. It really looks
like ancient Rome here.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the Colisey and everyone's cheering, and he's got his
political gladiators with him. That that appearance isn't just about
him enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the
Senate for sure, not only are you entertained, but these
are my.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
People and are you willing to fight? Because here's who
I have.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
to President Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
For being here tonight. What do you gotta think about the.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Version of the Donald Trump take it out. I'm proud
to be a great American champion. I'm proud to be
(01:09):
a Christian American champion.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
The whole point with these nominees, several of them, is
their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That's Trump's point, because
what he wants to do with these nominees is establish
that the Congress sized states will not stand up to
him with anything.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
It's China retaliated today by reducing a number of American
films that can be shown there.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
What's your reaction to them?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Targeting cultural escos in the United States, I think I've
heard of worse things.
Speaker 7 (01:42):
What kind of power and influence you think RFK Junior
would have You.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Know, Martha, I am outraged because lives are at stake here.
The head of Health and Human Services touches programs that
affect every single life in our country. I've been focusing
mainly on the public health impacts. As you know, I'm
a pediatrician. I practiced pediatrics for more than thirty years,
(02:07):
and there's nothing that I've done for my patients that
I know has more positive impact than getting them vaccinated
fully and on time. And to have someone leading AHHS
who is one of the biggest deniers of vaccines in
our country, would undermine the confidence in that program, and LIKELI,
would cost lives.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw an explosion
in chronic disease and American children. The neurological disease is
suddenly exploded in nineteen nine eighthd sleep disorders, languish delays, ASD, autism,
to red syndrome, tics, narcolepsy. These are all things that
(02:51):
I never heard of autism went from one in ten
thousand of my generation according to the CDC data, one
in every thirty four kids.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
That I received a lot of emails with personal experiences
after I talked last week, remembers on this show or
the other.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We do it morning and an evening show.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
It's all all five hours a day, or posted to
the podcast you can. You can listen to any show
you miss. You can listen to the shows that don't
air in your market on your station.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
iTunes, iHeart, Spotify were on all of them. So I
talked about my wife, who's from India, was in a
graduate she was working toward her PhD in economics. She
ended up switching to law school. But she had a
(03:48):
calculus class and she was telling me about this professor
from China and she couldn't understand a word he said.
And I said, well, listen, you might be from India
and I might be a white boy, but I think
I'm better at calculus than you are, because I like
to think i'm good at math. So I said, I
(04:12):
bet you're just not understanding the material. And she would say,
I'm telling you this guy I sound real charming Donna.
So she said, you come to my class seven o'clock
at night.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So I went.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
The professor was a teaching assistant, a TA. Because this
is what universities do. Nobody teaches. Universities are not for students.
If you're sending a kid to college, I need to
go ahead and tell you right now. Universities are not
for students. My son goes to the University of Texas,
he loves it. I think he's doing great. And I'm
(04:48):
not knocking the University of Texas. I'm not knocking my
alma model, University of Houston. I'm not knocking A and M, Auburn, Alabama, Miami, Florida,
or wherever else Tennessee, Oregon. I'm telling you this is
what's happening today. The university is not for the student.
(05:09):
It has nothing to do with the student. The only
thing that the university does for the student is provide
football games. And that's why when universities like Georgia, when
they when Kirby got them to be a dominant powerhouse
force and it was clear they were going to win
championships or play for them every year, I read that
(05:32):
their applications doubled and then tripled. University of Georgia did
not change the education you got, didn't change the.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Quality of the football team did.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Because people's football team is part of their identity. They
feel like they're a better person because the football team
they root for wins on Saturday, and likewise, the school
that aren't winning feel like the kids feel like, well,
they're losers because their team is not good, and somehow
(06:08):
they need to be embarrassed in the way that people
are embarrassed if they live in a mid sized town
that doesn't have a professional sports team, as if that
was going to change anything.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But whatever.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
So the student experience in this particular teaching assistance class,
because the professors don't profess anymore. It's not how you
probably know this, but you should always find out in
every field how success is measured. I'm surprised sometimes how
(06:41):
often people I will ask, what does success.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Look like for you?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
There's got to be a word for something that doesn't
really rise to the level of a documentary, but is
sort of factual in nature to guy's name. It's not
the professor of Rocket, it's a different guy, very well researched,
and it was on Prince and I was never a
big Prince fan, never got into Prince. I was always
(07:14):
kind of creeped out by the androgynist thing and it
wasn't really my style of music. But I have come
to appreciate the musicianship and this was about This was
about ten songs you didn't know that Prince influenced. So
of course she had more stay in the time because
that was his little minime band, and you had Sheila
(07:35):
e and you had but like uh, Stevie Nicks called
him when she wrote stand Back and said, I heard
Little Red Corvette and it inspired it inspired me to
write stand Back.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Well, most people know that he wrote nothing Compares to You,
which of course Shinead O'Connor made famous. Back to the pointment,
so at an American university, you should be able to
understand the teacher. And we have got to get very
comfortable making a statement like that, because the reason you
(08:19):
can't is because the response from the university, the media,
young people brought up into through this progressive crap.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The response is that's racist, that's.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
That's oh I can't remember words anymore, that's xenophobic.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You don't like foreigners. I love foreigners, married to one.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I like people when they're teaching me in an American
university to speak my language in a manner that I
can understand.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I think I'm pretty good with accents.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
If I can't understand you, then you're not speaking the
language well enough. I can guarantee you this. They wouldn't
let me teach a class in China in Chinese.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I don't believe that universities that are funded from massive,
massive tax infusions. Used to be that seventy five percent
of the expenses of the university were paid by the government,
only twenty five percent intuition. As expensive as tuition is,
it's still largely funded by the government. And the reason
(09:37):
is the students. I told you earlier, the student. The
university is not for the student. The university is for research,
and the research is to validate liberalism. Some very smart people,
very clever, far thinking people that spent a lot of
time strategizing. I mean, this is the diff between Bill
(10:00):
Belichick and your average run er, the bill coach. This
is a difference between Nick Saban and your average college
coach that is six and five every year. The amount
of thought that is brought the analysis, the idea was
we'll own the university.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How will we do that?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
And what will we do with owning the university? So
all the money comes in for research. I told you
earlier that you got to find out what success means.
When I have a new show sponsor that comes on,
we have a conversation about what does success.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Look like to you? What does it mean? Do you
just like hearing me say your name?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Or are you trying to build a brand with an
audience of people that share my values and probably yours two?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And is it your expectation out of.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
That that a certain number of them will buy your product.
Some of my show sponsors don't care if they sell
a product. They want their name be on the mind
of people who might give them a chance, who might
consider when they need that good or service doing that,
whether that's gold and silver or fighting the irs, or
(11:11):
fighting the insurance company or fighting off somebody, that's all
those different things. Well, when you understand it, the way
a university professor advances and who doesn't want advance is
through scholarship. You write things that nobody reads. And that's
being serious. Only people who read professor scholarship, their writings,
(11:34):
their journals the only people who read it are other professors.
So they have created the way a lot of industries do.
They have created their own little awards within awards to
pat each other on the back. And so you have
panels of scholars that's what professors are now, they're scholars.
You have panels of professors who review the scholarship of
(11:57):
other professors, and it's just whole racket. And then that scholarship,
that scholarship, if if it's science and technology or business,
some of that is funded by business who want research done,
and some of it is funded by Soros who wants
more scholarship that says, don't punish criminals, put them back
(12:20):
out on the street to murder more, because that's better.
And that's why so much scholarship quote unquote is on
green energy and the evil effects of coal, oil, nuclear,
because it's funded indirectly through foreign interest like the Chinese government.
(12:40):
I can give you a great example. Texas A and M University,
long considered a bastion of Texas values, American patriotism. Texas
A and M University has had a i don't know,
probably fifteen to twenty year association with Cutter Atar. You
(13:01):
can pronounce it Qatar or Cutter. I don't care. I
had a friend who was the ambassador to the place,
and he said it's pronounced cutter. So I say cutter
half the time in Qatar, half the time that place
Texas A and M University opened a campus and Cutter,
and that place has given a lot of money to
Texas A and M University.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Believe for Texas A and M. Good on you. I'm
happy for you. But what's the money for when you
consider that Cutter is.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
When you consider some of the things that have happened
through the Katari government and who they are associated with,
You're going to hear a lot of American politicians, especially Republicans,
tell you what a great country Cutter.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Is and how there are ally and they're our friend.
I don't believe that.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
And again I think more people need to be very
honest and speak openly about it. Professors ought to speak English.
Foreign governments should not be funding our universities. What are
they getting in return? Bizarre is on well done. So
this is the Michael Verie Show. A crazy fellow broke
(14:14):
into the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania. Governor of Pennsylvania is
named Josh Shapiro. He's a Jewish Democrat, and they were
having what's called Satyr, which is a dinner in observance
of Passover. It's a religious event, generally involves family fellowship.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's a really big deal. The guy who broke.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Into the house and set it on fire, and a good,
pretty bad fire. Didn't take the whole house down, but
it'll be a year of renovations, to be clear, and
it could have been even worse. He is self described
as a socialist. He hates MAGA and Christians. Now the
(15:10):
media is making out he's neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
We want to make sure we're not blaming this on Republicans.
He's not a Democrat or a Republican. He's a socialist
who hates Maga. What do you think that is. That's
like saying Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. And so
(15:30):
Senator Dave McCormick did what Republicans love to do.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He wrote to stupid I mean, stupid editorial. Let's see
fac it just the.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Dumbest thing ever. He wrote this stupid editorial. Here it is, uh,
let's see you gotta hear this line. This is such
a Mike Pence Republican thing to say Shapiro is a Democrat.
I'm a Republican who supports President Donald Trump. But this
(16:05):
isn't a moment for partisanship. It's time for Americans, all
Americans to disown, condemn, and make every effort to stop
political violence. We must likewise call on our political leaders
to avoid language that vilifies those on the other side.
(16:28):
I'm so sick of I'm wanting to cuss more than usual.
I'm so sick of weak need Republicans.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is the Bush Romney Ron Johnson model.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
At a moment like this, we must all hold our
heads up and adjust our bow tie, and we must
conde the violence. We must hold hands with the Democrats,
and we must say that we're all in this togetnar
And today it's not today for partisan chap you dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes it is because it's all Democrats who are doing this.
It's all lefties. Forget your stupid party, it's lefties.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Well, I've noticed that Black Lives Matter has burned down Mogadishu, Minnesota.
And this is neither a Democrat nor Republican issue. It
is violence, and we must condemn it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You can't condemn it, you jack assid Democrats can't because
they can't piss the blacks off. The Republicans can't because
they're so scared of being called a racist. We all
know what happened.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Well, I noticed that Antifa has burned down more buildings.
But this is not a Democrat or a Republican issue,
we must all, you idiot, it is.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's lefties, and the Democrats can't condemn them because they're
white liberals. These are the foot soldiers Democrat Party.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
And Republicans can't condemn him because Republicans are afraid of
condemning anything. And by the way, who cares what is
your condemnation doing. But we regret to inform you that
we are not in favor of this action that has
been taken on Governor Josh Shapiro. While he is a
Demograph and I'm a Republican and we may have our differences,
(18:24):
I would like it to be known entered into the
record that I oppose the burning down of his house
while he's inside of it with his children. I would
like to show you what a high minded Republican I am.
I am so tired of these mike pins Republicans who
stand for nothing. They just show up in there. They've
(18:48):
got their nice banker's suit, their shoes have been recently polished,
freshly polished. Their hair is perfectly cut, their nails are done.
They have their flag repelpin, and they say I stand
for all things that are good, and I viciously aggressively
oppose things that are bad.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, all right, let's get into what's good and bad.
Let's not split hairs right now.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
I would just like to remind you that I oppose
things that are bad and support things that are good. Okay,
that's fine, but we're going to have to be able
to say what things are good and what things are
bad so we can know what you're opposing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't want to divide, I want to unite. Oh good, Yes,
this is all very productive, isn't it very productive? Meanwhile,
American cattle rancher exposing that they've all been sold out,
they're at risk of going out of business, and your
meat is being imported. But we could we have the land,
(19:54):
the expertise.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
To put food on your table that is locally grown
by people who make a living off of it. But no,
it's being imported because our government has allowed this to happen.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
We used to make a fair amount of return on
the capital. But the industry has changed dramatically with the
government allowing the consolidation of the meat processing business. Four companies,
giant companies got together and decided to roll that up, consolidated,
and that's just business.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But when we get on the other side.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Of it, and we take into account the ramifications own
our national economic health, it has a very detrimental effect.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Our government allowed.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Two giant companies controlled by foreign governments to come in
and acquire One of them is controlled by the Chinese
and they bought Smithville out of North Carolina, and the
other one was a Brazilian company that came in and
bought up one of the other major players. So now
we have an industry eighty five percent of it actually
(21:08):
has been consolidated and rolled up and controlled by four companies.
Four companies now are dictating.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Who gets what where.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
And when they said, nobody thought our government would let
fifty percent or more of the beat processing be controlled
by countries outside of the US. It comes down to
our own food source security, the geopolitical situation we find
ourselves in. Why would we want to have an antagonist
own twenty five percent of our meat processing. It makes
(21:37):
no sense at.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All, So how did this happen?
Speaker 7 (21:42):
The wrong kind of people get into politics as elected officials,
as staffers, as lobbyists. These people do not care about
you or this country or what's best. They care about
their own power and their own money.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
They're very good, and they hire people who help them
do this.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
At telling you what you want to hear, We've got
to get comfortable throwing some Republicans out and replacing them
with better candidates.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Until we do that, you normally smell.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Mister Eadham to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
He got an email from someone earlier today and he said, yeah,
I hear you talking about Trump and Trump doing this
right and Trump doing that right, and we need to
support too. Well.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I remember back in sixteen, you weren't for him.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I've never denied that I wasn't for him because I
didn't think he would be the Trump we see now.
And by the way, and this is what people have
to understand, the Trump we see now was not the
Trump he was for thirty years before that. He's the
best president of my lifetime by far, by far. This
(22:54):
administration is the best administration in my lifetime, and we're
three months into it. I observe things and I comment
on them. If the other team outplays the team i'm
rooting for, I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Tell you the other team was terrible and my team
got cheated.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
I will say they outplayed us, and this guy played
well and our guy didn't. I don't think people tune
in to hear me say Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Trump
because they love Trump. There's enough shows that do that already.
That's not what I do. I observe.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So when I tell you I think Trump's doing the
right thing, it's not because I know you love him already.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I know that ninety percent of our audience. If Trump
tomorrow were to raise taxes, raise taxes and confiscate businesses,
they'd find a way to tell me how this was
for d chess and he's figured it all out. And
I would say, no, I'm against that. I don't like it,
and I think that it's not healthy when you do that.
(23:57):
That's for you to do, not for me to do.
And I tell you that Trump is doing something brilliant,
you can take it to.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The bank that I mean it. I'm not pandering.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
There's some other people that will tell you everything Trump
does it's great, It's wonderful all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's great, and they don't believe that. So with that
being said, one of Trump's greatest assets is that he
he if you are his enemy on Monday, and on
(24:31):
Tuesday he needs you. In a purely transactional way, he
can say, I love that guy right there.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
He's got a beautiful mind. He's a beautiful this. He's
a wonderful this. He's the best at this, and people
are going Whites said yesterday, you m.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
F him, and he doesn't care. It's completely transactional. He
is focused on the win.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
It's like a coach who can forget that a player
fumbled and put him back in because he's your best
player and we need him to score.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well. This is Trump at his best.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
He's got the highly partisan, awful governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer,
visiting the White House, and he gets her, remember he
won Michigan. He gets her supporting the tariffs, which of
course upsets the Democrats to no end and delights me.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I understand the motivation behind the tariffs, and I can
tell you here's where President Trump and I do agree
We do need to make more stuff in America for
cars and chips, for steel and ships. We do need
fair trade.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Lady, stop playing games.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
We do not need trade that we are worried about
the other side. What she's taught looking about is well,
we don't want to upset our Chinese overlords. I truly
believe if Americans understood how much money politicians are getting
(26:17):
from foreign interests now not always handed to them by
the Chinese, it could be handed to them by a
lobbyist here that lives in your neighborhood that works for
the Chinese. I think if people realized what was going on,
there would be an honest.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
To goodness violent revolution. I think there would be enough
people go rambo on this thing. I really do.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
I think it's that bad. I think it's that bad.
It would be that upsetting. I'm not encouraging that. That's
not what I'm saying, but I am tony. I think
if people understood how much these people, and not all
of them Democrats, plenty of Republicans I am for certain,
for certain, are on the tape. Here is Howard Lutnick,
who's turning out to really be an asset to this administration.
(27:05):
This was at a cabinet meeting a few days ago,
and he's giving an update. Each one of them is
going around the table. He's giving an update on countries
calling and you are not enough hours in the day.
Country is calling and wanting to negotiate a deal with
the United States.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Trump has turned the tables.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
People are saying, we'll wipe away our tariffs, and he
did it just like that. It could have been done.
We've talked about it for years. The Democrats have talked
about it for years. They didn't want to do it.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
So we've have so many countries to talk to.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
It is.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's incredible.
Speaker 10 (27:46):
I think Scott and I I'm not sure we could
ever have enough time in the day to talk to
all these countries because they want to talk, and they
want to talk now, and they have come with offers
that they never ever ever would have come with. Were
the moves that the President has made demanding that people
treat the United States with respect. We're getting the respect
(28:07):
we deserve now and I think you're going to see
stark deals one after the other. And then I'm very
excited that within a week and a half we're going
to start with the gold Cart and the Trump Card
is coming out and we're very excited about that and
that's coming soon, so very excited.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm going to say it again I said earlier the show.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
You need to prepare yourself because there are going to
be people who on our side are going to be
very upset. You're going to see businesses on shore, on shoring.
We used to see offshoring businesses leaving America to go
to the Caribbean, to go to other countries for various reasons.
(28:49):
You're going to see foreign companies moving at least some portion,
if not of operations.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Of administrative now, like everybody else, if.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
You're trying to get a permit or a renovation on
your home and they say, well, I can't give you
a permit for this, You'll have to do this, this
and this, and what's your answer, Well, can we shave
off the corner and just do that? Like, what's the
minimum we can do to get the damn permit? Because
you don't really care about their stupid rules. You know
that that municipality, county, state, whatever, official osha epa. He's
(29:27):
not making your life any better, he's not protecting you.
He's a power hungry fella. On a power kick, and
you just want to know what do I have to
do to get the permit to move down the road. Well,
that's what other countries are doing. They're not willingly taking
away tariffs that they believe are best for their country.
(29:49):
And remember, these folks all have they have to balance
their own domestic politics as well. They've got a steel
maker that doesn't want American steel coming in. They've got
farm interests that don't want America's agricultural products coming in.
(30:09):
That's why they that's why India puts seven hundred percent
tariffs on American So they're going to do whatever they
