Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Berry Show. It's a weekend podcast, and Ramone says,
I do too long of an introduction to these things,
So let me just say this. You can always send
me an email through our website Michael Berryshow dot com.
I do love to hear from you. So CNN is
nightly revealing polls that show how much trouble the Democrats
are in and what do the Democrats do every time
(00:22):
they double down. Pocahontas was at a Maxwell Frost rally
in Omaha when she was asked about how to get
people back into the party and not to disappoint well here,
she said.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, I got to tell you, nobody elected the Democrats
to lie down and play dead. The number one thing
we got to do is stand up and fight back.
And we got this coming up in September. I want
to say this again. Up in September, the Republicans are
(00:57):
going to need Democratic votes to keep this budget. To
pass a budget, Republicans now own it. They got the House,
they got the Senate, they got the White House. They
got to do what Congresses have done time immemorial and
sit down and negotiate. And what we're gonna stand up
and fight for is we are going to fight for
(01:17):
healthcare for our babies, for our best friends, and for
our seniors. They're gonna give it to us, and we're
gonna fight back. I think that's a key part. So
you'll use your leverage to fight back.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I want to say on this, we don't have as
much power as we want, and damn it is frustrating.
Sometimes in Washington he does things and you want to say,
my God, can't you stop him? And sometimes the answers no.
But not having as much power as you want is
not the same thing as having no power at all.
We have power and we must use it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Market September, you've heard the name kilmar Abrego Garcia. He
ends up becoming a poster child for the difference between
the Trump administration and the wacky left. President Trump took
questions in the Oval Office. I can't remember if it
was the day of the cabinet meeting or later that
(02:13):
afternoon or the next day, but I made my notes
on it, and I think this is very important to
understand why this case is important. He was asked why
Democrats are so emotionally attached to kilmar Abrego Garcia, and
remember they call him a Maryland man. And this has
(02:34):
become kind of a joke, but you need to understand
the history behind it. When an illegal alien comes to
this country from El Salvador, Guatemala, wherever else, Pakistan and
they commit a murder here, the headline will read, you know,
let's say they live in Maryland. The headline will read
(02:55):
Maryland man kills wife. Well, that's not a Maryland man,
that's an illegal alien from El Salvador or Pakistan. They
don't want that, so they say marilynd Man. As if
this guy grew up in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Anyway, they think he's going to be good for volks,
and I think he's very bad for folks. These people
are deranged. He's not good for VOTs. He beat the
hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to
even talk about him. She's been mauled by this animal.
And you know, through a system of liberal courts, you
(03:29):
know he's doing things. But know we have that under control,
and Pam has got that very much under control. Do
you want to comment on it?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, No, We've got him under control. He will no
longer terrorize our country.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
He's currently charged with.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Human smuggling and concluding children.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
The guy needs to be in prison.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
He doesn't need to be on the streets like all
these liberals.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Want him to be.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
This is another moment I don't think God it's due.
Within the last week, the gold Star Families, that's family
who lost someone on active duty serving our country. The
gold Star Families were in attendance, and President Trump asked
Pete Hegset, the Secretary of Defense, to answer a question
about the review of Biden's horrific withdrawal from Afghanistan. I've
(04:20):
seen the polling numbers on the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan,
and that matters to military families seemingly more than any
other issue, even if they don't have active duty families,
Because if that could happen to our if that could
happen to those folks, it could happen to any member
(04:41):
of our services who is serving this country. Anyway, I
thought Pete Hegset did a good job.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
On behalf of this beautiful group, on behalf of these families,
On behalf of your loved ones who fought for our nation.
America deserves answers as far as what happened in Afghanistan.
The military needs to answer for what happened in Afghanistan.
So upon the President's direction, immediately we initiated an investigation
which showed that they're needed an even deeper dive. So
Sean Parnell, or Pentagon spokesman, who himself is an Afghanistan veteran,
(05:09):
is leading this effort. It's a top priority for us.
We're getting access to all the documents necessary, why decisions
were made, why they weren't made, why certain force protection
measures were ignored. Again, there's never been accountability for this.
It's something that Joe Biden allowed to happen that never
should have happened. Anybody who any objective observer knows that's
not how you leave a country, and certainly these families
(05:31):
know better than anyone else. These families deserve answers. We're
going to be honest about it. We're going to get
to the bottom of it. Sean Parnell and Afghanistan Vett
is leading it, and we're doing another half of the
American people. So I would anticipate middle of twenty twenty six,
that's how thorough of a review we're doing. Hopefully a
little bit sooner, but we're going into everything to get
an understanding of what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The Biden administration also investigated their own disastrous withdraw their conclusion,
I'm not making this up. I'm not trying to make
you crazy. John Kirby said, they were proud of the
job that was done. Does the President have any regrets
about how this withdrawal was carried out?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
The President's very proud of the manner in which the
men and women of the military, the foreign service, intelligence community.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I went on and on and on.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Conducted this, conducted this withdrawal. But look, I've been around
operations my entire life, and there's not a single one
that ever goes perfectly according to plan. Things happen. Sometimes
enemies get a vote.
