The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Governor, Just to follow up on that, the question was

All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this, So I.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Will just that's what I've said.

M shows.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it
only later in your political career did you change your position.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Why, Mummy, I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (00:44):
Honestly, Tim, I think you got a tough job here
because you've got to play whack a mole. You've got
to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take home pay.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Which of course he did.
Speaker 7 (00:52):
You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation,
which of course he did. And then you simultaneously got
to defend Kamala harris atrocious economic record which has made gas,
groceries and housing unaffordable fair American citizens.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yes, so, very Spanish show.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
I will talk a lot. I will get caught up
in the rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Shows Spasher.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
But I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
I'm what thell merchine is.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Tim just said something that I agree with.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
We don't want to blame immigrants for higher housing prices,
but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting
in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does
drive up cost him show.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
But I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
But they're not going to be able to achieve their
full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
They're not going to be able to live.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Their American dream if we do the same thing that
we've been doing for the last three and a half years.
I don't love.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I will talk a lot. I will get caught up
in the rhetoric.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
I don't below friend of mine who is very, very
straight laced, probably fifty years old, he said, Oh my god,
did I hear what I think I just heard?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Paraphrasing. I think the guy said something to the effect
of Michael. I used to smoke a lot of weed,
but I can't right now because I'm out on probation
for DWI. Your show is amazing to listen to when
I'm high. You got it right. What's funny, though, is
(02:58):
my position on weed smokers has changed. I really don't
like the smokers, and if I'm to be completely honest,
the reason is I hate the smell of pot. I
hate it. And I will tell you you know, some
people can't help themselves. They cannot help themselves. The guy
(03:20):
who just keeps getting married and he gets divorced, and
each time he comes out of he's in the middle
of a horrible divorce and it's taking the life out
of it is don't you let me get married? And
then boom, they do it again, and then they do
it again, and they do it. I've been through four
marriages with more than one friend married divorce, like I'm
(03:41):
there for all of them. And then they come back. Hey, hey,
I want you and they to meet this girl. Oh no,
oh no, Johnny, Yeah, yeah, you got to meet her.
You better not be Uh, this one's different, aren't they always?
Aren't they always? Anyway? I don't know why I'm talking
(04:09):
about that. Oh oh, the guys that kind of there
were own worst enemy. So there's places where marijuana is
now legalized. If you haven't been to one of these,
and take my word for this, in Colorado. This happens.
You walk the streets and there is this stench, and
I mean stench of pot being smoked. Thing about it
(04:31):
is when I go somewhere to smoke cigars out in public,
I don't do it anymore. Now smoke at home. It's
just easier. I make sure I don't blow on anyone else.
I don't get near anyone else. But people will come up,
men and especially women, and I'll think, oh, they're coming
to bitch, and I'll say, I'm sorry, is this but no,
(04:54):
I love it, really, And it's always followed by a
my grandfather smoked cigars, my dad smokes cigars, or some
story of someone in their life that they loved who
smoked cigars. Now, some of them will tell you a pipe.
The problem with a pipe is a pipe can be
(05:17):
a delightful essence to waft through the air, but if
you're too close to it, it's a bit pungent. It
can be too sweet, can overpower you. What I'm trying
to tell you is that what I do is very good.
What everyone else do is very bad. But with the
pot thing, people whose parents smoke pot, people who themselves
(05:39):
smoke pot. Everybody says it reeks, it's awful. Stop it,
make it go away. But the pot smokers are so
thrilled to get to do it out in public, and
I think have to piss other people off. Okay, fine.
It's like the guy who rides through the downtown area
where the buildings are high and there's no room for
(06:00):
the sound to go, and he's on his harley and
he's right as loud as he can and in his mind, man,
he's getting over on everybody and this is great. And
then they come back because there's more of people that
are annoyed by that than are doing it, and they
put a noise ordinance in effect, and he gets arrested
the next time, and he talks about how everybody's uptight.
(06:22):
Why did you go and poke the bear? You've got
a thousand other places to do that. You're asking for it.
So I think if the weed smokers would stop smoking
in public, that it would it would die down a
lot of this this hatred of the weed smokers, because
the people who do gummies, first of all, you don't
(06:44):
know they do gummies, and they don't bother anybody, and
they go home, sit on the couch, fall asleep to
the wheel or Mattlock or Old petticoat junction or something.
They don't bother anybody, and law enforcement officers will tell
you the same. So the idea on weed is not
(07:07):
what it used to be. I don't want to waste
today's show on this, but there will be some of
you who can't help it. You've been in doctornate and
you'll go. But Michael, people won't work hard. If they're
smoking at dope, they won't work hard. Do you know
many people don't work hard? Already? Were we making it
illegal not to work hard? Really? Since when is that
the law? Well, Michael, if they smoke at Nope, they
(07:29):
end up not caring about nothing. There nothing, and they
don't want to work. Why do you care? Listen, let's
focus on our priorities. If people are not out running
into other people in their car, shooting at other people,
raping and murdering other people, I don't care what they do.
(07:51):
Live and let live. Ronald Reagan said, the heart of
conservatism is libertarianism. We need more of that. Stop being
a nanny, Stop being a nanny. Don't worry what other
people are doing. But it was kind of funny he
called up and said that that is a cou coo
dude right there. And he remember he remembers asking me
(08:14):
to sign his hat, and he remembered me thinking, this
is one weird dude. Y'all keep an eye on him. Fellas. Yeah,
that is the cackle of a madman right there. I
mean that, that's like, that's like the villain in Uh.
That's what Mike Myers was was kind of making fun
(08:36):
of in Austin Powers. You know, when you make a
parody of the evil villain, that's what you have to
have them do. Is that laugh where it's no longer
a laugh, you're just pushing through. You can call that
segment dope smoke. And we're getting back to the debate
a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I will get caught up in the rhetoric the Michael
Berry Show. I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban. But if
only later in your political career did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (09:21):

school shooters.

You've got a friend in me.
Speaker 5 (09:28):

Speaker 9 (09:46):
Yeah, you got bred in me.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Some of the folks that being a spottle male being.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
In strong too. I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Maybe none of them.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
We'll never love you the way I do. It's me,
you boy, it is the years go by. A friendship
will never die.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I become friends with school shooters. You go see its
a study.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
You gotta prided in me because.
Speaker 5 (10:23):

Speaker 9 (10:25):

Speaker 5 (10:27):

Speaker 9 (10:29):
You gotta bred in me.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I want to thank Nest Construction for being a sponsor
of our event at twenty nine to twenty Roadhouse on
October twelfth, from five to ten. You must have a ticket.
You can apply for your free ticket by emailing me
through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. While you are there,
we have put up some new gear, some JD Vance gear,
(11:01):
some Donald Trump superhero gear, some fun gear, all of
which you can find at Michael Berryshow dot com. And
it says by our merchandise, the profits of which go
to our show team of Chad, Jim and Ramon. I
don't touch those that's for them. And we had a
(11:22):
wonderful summer thanks to you. The day after President Trump
was shot, my guy who runs the site for me,
he put up a picture of that we had seen
online of Trump when he's got his teeth down on
his bottom lip, which is over bottom of his teeth,
(11:43):
and his top teeth are down, kind of beaver style,
and he's saying fight and it's just pure grit, is
just a guttural grit of survival, and the blood is
streaking down his face and he's got his hand clenched
and he's telling people over the shoulders of the Secret
(12:04):
Service are trying to get him out of there. Fight
as if he's saying, kind of speaking from one world
back to ours, from one from one dimension back to ours,
They're going to kill me, but you fight, You stay
back here and fight. I think it was one of
the most poignant moments of Trump's public life. It was
(12:29):
very powerful. It transcended politics. And he posted that picture
with our logo on it, and that that shirt mug
everything else was enough to give a bonus to our team. Yeah, well, Jim, yes,
(12:49):
not everybody on the team got that one was going. Wait,
I didn't I split that one. I thought would be
I thought I had more impact if we cut it
down to two on that one. But you folks make
that happen. Send me an email. Make sure you put
twenty nine to twenty in your email request. Roger Clemens
will be there and speak for a minute. Dan Pasterini,
Ted Cruz, Chance McClain who will do a couple of
(13:14):
our favorites of his songs, including Dr Pepper Song, and
the Josh Fluller Band will perform. But it's more of
a gathering than a rally or concert. It's a hangout.
The point of it is, don't worry about what's up
on the stage. Show up with the intention of having
a good time and milling around and hanging out with
lots of other fun people. It should be a good time.
(13:35):
And thanks to Kelly Burmaster at twenty nine to twenty
Roadhouse for doing that, Thanks to Nest Construction out of
Dayton for sponsoring it, and thanks to Texas Tradition's Bank
for sponsoring it. We appreciate these folks. So if you
know Kelly Kelly Badu, I think is how you pronounce
it bad o U g H. Matt Maybery's on thatboard.
(14:00):
Turns out I didn't know that. There's several people on
the board of Texas Tradition's Bank that are already friends
of mine, and I didn't know. Let's see if I
can just one second, would you like to know who's
on the board. I like to know such things. Let's
see board of directors. Ryan Whitzell. You know Ryan Whitstell.
I don't know him. He's a banking guy. Keith Badeu,
(14:21):
he's the president. Oh, Bill Cassau, my old buddy, Bill
Cassouth of Deloitte and toushe Back. I guess it was
finally Deloitte at the end. I knew Bill back in
the day. Good, good dude. The Cassau family, if anybody
knows them, it's these, uh, the last of the white
guys on the East. Well, I guess Kip partly. Skip
will be the last holdout. He'll be holding on man.
(14:43):
He'll be hiding behind transmissions and they'll be Cheryl firing
on him, and they'll be skipped back there. He'll be
returning fire, though, give him credit for that. Bill Cassau,
good guy. Bill once had a party at his uh.
He had a on thirty six in gay Hill, north
of that jug handle turn in Brenham where you head
(15:06):
off it jets, it jags what's the word? Over toward
Burton northwest or you go right and you go into
Brenham just north of there. He had a ranch and
he was asking for advice this wash me. It's about
two thousand and seven, maybe earlier, and he said he
(15:27):
wanted a band and put our heads together and did
Charlie Robinson and so my buddy Patrick Pacheco and I
went up for it, and we're gonna get to hang
out with Charlie. And it's this big event and he
spent all this Morning's a big Deloitte event, all hundreds
of thousand dollars on this party for Deloitte employees and
their families, probably a thousand people there. Charlie takes the stage.
Bill brings him up. This is Charlie Robinson. Andybody's like
(15:52):
he starts the song in thirty seconds in They all
leave and go to the family activities and eat there.
And Patrick and I sat there and Charlie points at
these two chairs. They're probably eight chairs, but two of them,
uh plastic chairs, and he points like, get those and
bring them over here, and he directed us. We got
the chairs and we went and we plopped down right
(16:14):
in front of him, about thirty feet away, and they
did a rehearsal, because when you do a show that
nobody attends, you just make it a rehearsal. And we
sat there and I'm the biggest Charlie Robinson fan there
is and I'm sitting there singing along and he's just
smiling and he's like. I asked him afterwards, I said,
does this just break your heart? He goes, no, this
is why we make people pay more for private events,
(16:36):
because they're horrible to do. People never understand and say, hey, Michael,
I'm trying to get Robert o' keen to play my house.
But he's charging all this money. I know you didn't
pay him that much. No, because I provided a venue
where he could perform music to people who are fans
of his, and that gives that's artistry. Otherwise it's like,
you know, you're getting going to the dentist. And he said,
(16:58):
why is it so much? Because the people at your
party are not fans of his. They won't know the songs,
and they won't listen, and they'll probably talk the whole time.
And artists don't want that. They want to commune with
the audience and sing along with the audience who's enjoying
what they're doing. And so if I'm gonna have to
do something I don't want to do. It's why I
charge a lot more money to travel and speak than
(17:19):
to speak locally, because I don't want to be away
from my family. It's the same thing. And so anyway,
I said, man, this has got to break your Heart's
got to be awful, and he said, no, you just
get paid a lot of money. But I felt bad
for Bill because Bill goes and gets a great band. Anyway,
he's on the bord of Texas Traditions Bank. Michael Durski
Do you know him? Monarch Stainless a prominent Stainless still
(17:42):
distribution company. I don't know Michael Durshky. Vicky Kaiser, retired
partner at Deloitte rand lass Us, managing partner of Strategic Paths.
He's got a banking background. And Matt Mabray, that's our
buddy in the concrete business, about fifty other businesses. Darren Miller,
(18:03):
he's a lawyer. Samuel Morris. He's at Sunset Capital, a
vertally vertically integrated real estate investment and asset management firm.
John Pritchett Partners real Estate. David Roth he's the CFO.
Collin Zalman. I think he's there too anyway, So I
(18:27):
didn't know Texas Tradition's banks before. We're actually looking for
a bank. I'm not saying that they're going to be it,
but we we want a bank sponsor. We've been actively
looking for that for a while. It's got to be
locally owned it so they they may fit the build.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Govern Are you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but
it only later in your political career did you change
your position?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Why? I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I become friends with school shooters. I've become friends with
school shooters. There I become friends with school shooters. That
(19:41):
become friends with school shooters. Because I've become friends with
school shooters. I've become friends with school shooters. Let him
(20:10):
come friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Did he add hunters laugh at then? Oh that's from friends.
Oh okay, I never watched it, lost decade all. A
very accomplished female lawyer friend of mine last night after
the debate emailed me as follows quote. JD Vance was
(20:35):
masterful tonight. Why because he clearly won, but was also
not mean. This is very important to women. He beat
up on Waltz in a polite way. Jim, who called
in the first hour, said he didn't like that. He
wanted JD to pummel him, wanted him to leave his
(20:57):
dead carcass, his political carcass in the middle of the room,
show no patience, no mercy, which would be great, except
we know very clearly it would cost you the election. Remember,
you're only as good as your weakest link, and a
(21:20):
small percentage of women, but enough to swing the election.
Doesn't mean you ladies out there are dumb dums. You're not.
But some of the other people with your same reproductive
organs are, and some of those are undecided, and we
got to get them to vote the right way. And
it was a delicate, nuanced knockout. Did it appeal to
(21:44):
my buddies who drive around in a jacked up truck
with big wheels, big knobby wheels, blowing Dixie out of
their horn with a Confederate flag out the back. No, no,
they wanted a knockout, but we don't have enough to win,
(22:04):
So you got to go in and get some people
who like to think of themselves. It's very sophisticated. Even
the New York Times headline Vance's dominant debate performance shows
why he's Trump's running mate. When you've lost the New
York Times, I was just thinking about the Righteous Brothers.
(22:25):
I went into that scene with Goose and Maverick. That
was back before Tom Cruise was just real weird. He
wasn't so weird back then. Let's go to Carol, Carol,
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome sweetheart, Carol, Carol Scott,
how about you, Scott, You're only Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Good morning, mister Barry. Hey, I wanted to let you know.
You know, after I do about two hours worth of
conference calls in the morning, and I tuned into your
show and I hear a really really track the voice
call in and a turkey gobbles in the background, and
a goat gobbles or a goat baze in the background.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I know my day is getting better.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So I really appreciate you putting on such an amazing
product today.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Well, what a nice thing to say. The other is,
you did you did wonderful. I'm sorry, go ahead, sir,
and uh.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And the other thing was, I didn't watch the debate
last night. I pulled it up on YouTube this morning.
Was watching it because I get up at like four
in the morning and I sit and prep for all
my conference calls, and I kept seeing all these fourth
wall breaks by by mister Vance and you you actually
(23:49):
made a comment about that, and I thought, holy cow,
wasn't that a brilliant move on his part to not
come out and say.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You know what, you are a moron yall?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
He just kind of looked at the camera and said,
everybody else, make your.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Decision less is more?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yes, sir, it was.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was a beautiful night. Scott very well said, very
well said fantastic call. Fantastic call, sir. Jd Vance's performance
was the best performance I've ever seen in my life
(24:38):
since Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, it's hard for people to get everybody says
all day, I get messages. You know what jd Vance
was said, he said, Hey, Tim Wallas, yiky suck it
man and hate a one. No, that's I know that
sounds good to you right now, but that's really not
what he needed to do. You know what jd Vance said,
(25:04):
he was I was in warning you wouldn't I'm gonna
kick your ass, and he'd one No. I don't think
that would have done it either, But thank you. Everybody
can tell jd Vance what one line that they wish
he had said that he didn't say, and how that
would have won it, offer him because that would have
(25:25):
made that person happier, but it wouldn't have actually tested
well jd Vance's performance, every single part of it, the
stupid stuff that I study that you have no reason
to need to study and does not matter or shouldn't matter,
but does. The way he walked to the podium technically elected,
(25:50):
the way he exited, the way his delivery, his cadence
is pacing when he had to disagree, and he had
to disagree firmly, sternly, but not over the top with
the quote unquote fact checkers who weren't supposed to be
(26:10):
doing that and we're wrong. He did it with a
plumb and it's a balancing act. It's so delicate. And
the thing that he did was when Waltz was really
doing his jazz hands and getting really creepy, he'd kind
of lean in like that's all pholk, sporky pig and
kind of looked at you in the audience, and he
spoke directly to you with his eyes and it was
(26:31):
your master.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Wide?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Michael Barry had become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during
the deadly Tenemen Square protests in the spring of nineteen
eighty nine, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets
are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until
August of that year. Can you explain that Discrepancyah, Well, and.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
The folks out there, it didn't get at the top
of this look.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I grew up in small, rural Nebraska, a town of
four hundred.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, and then I
use the GI Bill to become a teacher.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the
summer of eighty nine to travel to China and then
started a program to take young people there. But I've
not been perfect and I'm a knucklehead at times, and
in Congress, I was one of the most bipartisan people,
working on things like farm bills that we got done,
working on veterans benefits. So look, my commitment has been
(27:44):
from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for
the people. I will say more than anything. Many times,
I will talk a lot. I will get caught.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Up in the rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
I would make the case that Donald Trump should have
come on one of those trips with US. I guarantee
you you wouldn't be praising chijingping about COVID, and I
guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that he
ends up losing. So this is about trying to understand
the world. It's about trying to do the best you
can for your community. My commitment, whether it be through teaching,
(28:15):
which I was good at, or whether it was being
a good soldier orlways being a good member of Congress,
those are the things that I think are the values
that people care about.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Governor.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Just to follow up on that, the question was, can
you explain the norepancy.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this so I will just
that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong
and China during the democracy protests went in and from
that I learned a lot of what needed to be
in governance.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Mister Madison, what you just said is one of the
most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point
in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to
anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in
this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
(29:12):
I award you no points, and may God have mercy
on your soul.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
This is important. There is a wonderful thirty for thirty.
It's one of the last ones to come out as
maybe two thirty thirty four thirdays ago. It's on Michael Chang,
and Michael Chang's parents came here from China and here
was a young man. He's my I think he's my
(29:38):
exact same age, and he's coming up through the ranks
in tennis, and there were no Asian kids playing tennis
at the time. Now it's all Asian, it's all Indians
because their parents want them to be more well rounded
so they can get into Harvard and Yell and Stanford
and so they are dominant and as players because the
(30:03):
white and black kids all play baseball, basketball, football, and
so there weren't that many kids playing tennis the Indian
kids because you don't have to be on a team.
The fact that your mother who's making you spend four
hours a day a drilling for spelling bee, can also
make you spend four hours a day because you don't
need to sleep that much playing tennis. Well, Michael Chang
(30:26):
comes up through the ranks and he's playing to be
the youngest French Open champion in history, which he did,
and Teneman Square is going on at the same time.
This was a major moment. I remember, I was obsessed
(30:46):
with this moment. The Chinese people were willing themselves to freedom.
We had never seen anything in the modern world quite
like this. This was bigger than Leck Willessa in Poland.
This was bigger than the freeing of Hungary Romania. This
(31:08):
was the freeing.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
This was.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Potentially as big as the fall of the Soviet Union.
And I was obsessed because of the importance of it.
Maybe China could could no longer be the heel, but
could be the baby face in the world. Maybe they
(31:33):
could be our ally, Maybe they could be a force
for good and most of all, the Chinese people could
finally have a life to be proud of, a life
of hope, which they hadn't. That's very important. This was
this was a major, major thing, and it talks about
(31:54):
Michael Change's kind of relationship to all of that and
wishing for the best for the Chinese people for his anyway.
It's a great watch. So Tim Walls has had students
and colleagues who've come out and said Tim Waltz is
an avowed communist and he worships Communist China's government a CCP.
(32:18):
We've seen this disturbing trend before. We've seen it in
Lee Harvey Oswald, whose wife Marina he married in Russia
and he was trying to get back to Russia but
he couldn't get a visa when Kennedy was assassinated, whoever
did it, He tried to get to Russia through Mexico City,
through the Cuban embassy there, in the Russian embassy there.
(32:42):
He had been to Russia on his honeymoon. Bernie Sanders
obsession with Russia. He honeymooned in Soviet Union Russia. Now,
think about where your head is you're so caught up
in this cult, this ideology. Tim Waltz is that for China.
(33:07):
But what he's done is he has reframed that as
if to say, I was at Tieneman Square because I
am so passionate about freedom.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
In China.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Quite the opposite. He is a huge supporter of the CCP.
I am certain he's a controlled asset for them. And
I don't say that lightly. I am certain of it.
I'm certain of it based on things I've seen. I've
not been told that by an inside person. I don't
want to give you the wrong idea, but I am
certain of it. I feel certain. I suspect it strongly.
(33:48):
Let me say that he's made thirty trips to China.
He's not in the corrugated box business. He doesn't have
a manufacturing facility there. He's never been in the private sector.
Why is he going to China so much? He can't
tell you. People who've been around him say he worships China.
(34:13):
And he got caught. He claimed he was at Tenneman
Square and he lied. I misspoke sometimes I'm a knucklehead.
You lied here he was in twenty nineteen, twenty five
or month. When did you live in China.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
About late eighties, Okay, so you know I was there.
I see this happening in Hong Kong.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
As as a more serious note, I was in Hong
Kong on not on June fourth, nineteen eighty nine, when,
of course Tenneman.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Square happened, and I was in China after that.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
It was very strange because of course all outside transmissions
were blocked Voice.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Of America, and of course there was no phones or email.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Or anything, so I was kind of out of touch.
It took me a month to know the Berlin Wall
had fallen when I was living there.
It's that time time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Governor, Just to follow up on that, the question was
can you explain therepancy?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this, So I.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Will just that's what I've said.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
M shows.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it
only later in your political career did you change your position.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Why, Mummy, I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (00:44):
Honestly, Tim, I think you got a tough job here
because you've got to play whack a mole. You've got
to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take home pay.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Which of course he did.
Speaker 7 (00:52):
You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation,
which of course he did. And then you simultaneously got
to defend Kamala harris atrocious economic record which has made gas,
groceries and housing unaffordable fair American citizens.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yes, so, very Spanish show.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
I will talk a lot. I will get caught up
in the rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Shows Spasher.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
But I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
I'm what thell merchine is.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Tim just said something that I agree with.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
We don't want to blame immigrants for higher housing prices,
but we do want to blame Kamala Harris for letting
in millions of illegal aliens into this country, which does
drive up cost him show.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
But I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
But they're not going to be able to achieve their
full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
They're not going to be able to live.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Their American dream if we do the same thing that
we've been doing for the last three and a half years.
I don't love.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I will talk a lot. I will get caught up
in the rhetoric.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
I don't below friend of mine who is very, very
straight laced, probably fifty years old, he said, Oh my god,
did I hear what I think I just heard?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Paraphrasing. I think the guy said something to the effect
of Michael. I used to smoke a lot of weed,
but I can't right now because I'm out on probation
for DWI. Your show is amazing to listen to when
I'm high. You got it right. What's funny, though, is
(02:58):
my position on weed smokers has changed. I really don't
like the smokers, and if I'm to be completely honest,
the reason is I hate the smell of pot. I
hate it. And I will tell you you know, some
people can't help themselves. They cannot help themselves. The guy
(03:20):
who just keeps getting married and he gets divorced, and
each time he comes out of he's in the middle
of a horrible divorce and it's taking the life out
of it is don't you let me get married? And
then boom, they do it again, and then they do
it again, and they do it. I've been through four
marriages with more than one friend married divorce, like I'm
(03:41):
there for all of them. And then they come back. Hey, hey,
I want you and they to meet this girl. Oh no,
oh no, Johnny, Yeah, yeah, you got to meet her.
You better not be Uh, this one's different, aren't they always?
Aren't they always? Anyway? I don't know why I'm talking
(04:09):
about that. Oh oh, the guys that kind of there
were own worst enemy. So there's places where marijuana is
now legalized. If you haven't been to one of these,
and take my word for this, in Colorado. This happens.
You walk the streets and there is this stench, and
I mean stench of pot being smoked. Thing about it
(04:31):
is when I go somewhere to smoke cigars out in public,
I don't do it anymore. Now smoke at home. It's
just easier. I make sure I don't blow on anyone else.
I don't get near anyone else. But people will come up,
men and especially women, and I'll think, oh, they're coming
to bitch, and I'll say, I'm sorry, is this but no,
(04:54):
I love it, really, And it's always followed by a
my grandfather smoked cigars, my dad smokes cigars, or some
story of someone in their life that they loved who
smoked cigars. Now, some of them will tell you a pipe.
The problem with a pipe is a pipe can be
(05:17):
a delightful essence to waft through the air, but if
you're too close to it, it's a bit pungent. It
can be too sweet, can overpower you. What I'm trying
to tell you is that what I do is very good.
What everyone else do is very bad. But with the
pot thing, people whose parents smoke pot, people who themselves
(05:39):
smoke pot. Everybody says it reeks, it's awful. Stop it,
make it go away. But the pot smokers are so
thrilled to get to do it out in public, and
I think have to piss other people off. Okay, fine.
It's like the guy who rides through the downtown area
where the buildings are high and there's no room for
(06:00):
the sound to go, and he's on his harley and
he's right as loud as he can and in his mind, man,
he's getting over on everybody and this is great. And
then they come back because there's more of people that
are annoyed by that than are doing it, and they
put a noise ordinance in effect, and he gets arrested
the next time, and he talks about how everybody's uptight.
(06:22):
Why did you go and poke the bear? You've got
a thousand other places to do that. You're asking for it.
So I think if the weed smokers would stop smoking
in public, that it would it would die down a
lot of this this hatred of the weed smokers, because
the people who do gummies, first of all, you don't
(06:44):
know they do gummies, and they don't bother anybody, and
they go home, sit on the couch, fall asleep to
the wheel or Mattlock or Old petticoat junction or something.
They don't bother anybody, and law enforcement officers will tell
you the same. So the idea on weed is not
(07:07):
what it used to be. I don't want to waste
today's show on this, but there will be some of
you who can't help it. You've been in doctornate and
you'll go. But Michael, people won't work hard. If they're
smoking at dope, they won't work hard. Do you know
many people don't work hard? Already? Were we making it
illegal not to work hard? Really? Since when is that
the law? Well, Michael, if they smoke at Nope, they
(07:29):
end up not caring about nothing. There nothing, and they
don't want to work. Why do you care? Listen, let's
focus on our priorities. If people are not out running
into other people in their car, shooting at other people,
raping and murdering other people, I don't care what they do.
(07:51):
Live and let live. Ronald Reagan said, the heart of
conservatism is libertarianism. We need more of that. Stop being
a nanny, Stop being a nanny. Don't worry what other
people are doing. But it was kind of funny he
called up and said that that is a cou coo
dude right there. And he remember he remembers asking me
(08:14):
to sign his hat, and he remembered me thinking, this
is one weird dude. Y'all keep an eye on him. Fellas. Yeah,
that is the cackle of a madman right there. I
mean that, that's like, that's like the villain in Uh.
That's what Mike Myers was was kind of making fun
(08:36):
of in Austin Powers. You know, when you make a
parody of the evil villain, that's what you have to
have them do. Is that laugh where it's no longer
a laugh, you're just pushing through. You can call that
segment dope smoke. And we're getting back to the debate
a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I will get caught up in the rhetoric the Michael
Berry Show. I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban. But if
only later in your political career did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Why you got friend in me? I've become friends with
school shooters.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You've got a friend in me.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
When the road rough ahead, and your mouths and mouths
and your nice.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Warm bit, I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
You just remember what joel ys, what you gotta be me.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
Yeah, you got bred in me.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Some of the folks that being a spottle male being.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
In strong too. I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Maybe none of them.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
We'll never love you the way I do. It's me,
you boy, it is the years go by. A friendship
will never die.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I become friends with school shooters. You go see its
a study.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
You gotta prided in me because.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
You gotta print in me.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
You gotta bred in me.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I want to thank Nest Construction for being a sponsor
of our event at twenty nine to twenty Roadhouse on
October twelfth, from five to ten. You must have a ticket.
You can apply for your free ticket by emailing me
through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. While you are there,
we have put up some new gear, some JD Vance gear,
(11:01):
some Donald Trump superhero gear, some fun gear, all of
which you can find at Michael Berryshow dot com. And
it says by our merchandise, the profits of which go
to our show team of Chad, Jim and Ramon. I
don't touch those that's for them. And we had a
(11:22):
wonderful summer thanks to you. The day after President Trump
was shot, my guy who runs the site for me,
he put up a picture of that we had seen
online of Trump when he's got his teeth down on
his bottom lip, which is over bottom of his teeth,
(11:43):
and his top teeth are down, kind of beaver style,
and he's saying fight and it's just pure grit, is
just a guttural grit of survival, and the blood is
streaking down his face and he's got his hand clenched
and he's telling people over the shoulders of the Secret
(12:04):
Service are trying to get him out of there. Fight
as if he's saying, kind of speaking from one world
back to ours, from one from one dimension back to ours,
They're going to kill me, but you fight, You stay
back here and fight. I think it was one of
the most poignant moments of Trump's public life. It was
(12:29):
very powerful. It transcended politics. And he posted that picture
with our logo on it, and that that shirt mug
everything else was enough to give a bonus to our team. Yeah, well, Jim, yes,
(12:49):
not everybody on the team got that one was going. Wait,
I didn't I split that one. I thought would be
I thought I had more impact if we cut it
down to two on that one. But you folks make
that happen. Send me an email. Make sure you put
twenty nine to twenty in your email request. Roger Clemens
will be there and speak for a minute. Dan Pasterini,
Ted Cruz, Chance McClain who will do a couple of
(13:14):
our favorites of his songs, including Dr Pepper Song, and
the Josh Fluller Band will perform. But it's more of
a gathering than a rally or concert. It's a hangout.
The point of it is, don't worry about what's up
on the stage. Show up with the intention of having
a good time and milling around and hanging out with
lots of other fun people. It should be a good time.
(13:35):
And thanks to Kelly Burmaster at twenty nine to twenty
Roadhouse for doing that, Thanks to Nest Construction out of
Dayton for sponsoring it, and thanks to Texas Tradition's Bank
for sponsoring it. We appreciate these folks. So if you
know Kelly Kelly Badu, I think is how you pronounce
it bad o U g H. Matt Maybery's on thatboard.
(14:00):
Turns out I didn't know that. There's several people on
the board of Texas Tradition's Bank that are already friends
of mine, and I didn't know. Let's see if I
can just one second, would you like to know who's
on the board. I like to know such things. Let's
see board of directors. Ryan Whitzell. You know Ryan Whitstell.
I don't know him. He's a banking guy. Keith Badeu,
(14:21):
he's the president. Oh, Bill Cassau, my old buddy, Bill
Cassouth of Deloitte and toushe Back. I guess it was
finally Deloitte at the end. I knew Bill back in
the day. Good, good dude. The Cassau family, if anybody
knows them, it's these, uh, the last of the white
guys on the East. Well, I guess Kip partly. Skip
will be the last holdout. He'll be holding on man.
(14:43):
He'll be hiding behind transmissions and they'll be Cheryl firing
on him, and they'll be skipped back there. He'll be
returning fire, though, give him credit for that. Bill Cassau,
good guy. Bill once had a party at his uh.
He had a on thirty six in gay Hill, north
of that jug handle turn in Brenham where you head
(15:06):
off it jets, it jags what's the word? Over toward
Burton northwest or you go right and you go into
Brenham just north of there. He had a ranch and
he was asking for advice this wash me. It's about
two thousand and seven, maybe earlier, and he said he
(15:27):
wanted a band and put our heads together and did
Charlie Robinson and so my buddy Patrick Pacheco and I
went up for it, and we're gonna get to hang
out with Charlie. And it's this big event and he
spent all this Morning's a big Deloitte event, all hundreds
of thousand dollars on this party for Deloitte employees and
their families, probably a thousand people there. Charlie takes the stage.
Bill brings him up. This is Charlie Robinson. Andybody's like
(15:52):
he starts the song in thirty seconds in They all
leave and go to the family activities and eat there.
And Patrick and I sat there and Charlie points at
these two chairs. They're probably eight chairs, but two of them,
uh plastic chairs, and he points like, get those and
bring them over here, and he directed us. We got
the chairs and we went and we plopped down right
(16:14):
in front of him, about thirty feet away, and they
did a rehearsal, because when you do a show that
nobody attends, you just make it a rehearsal. And we
sat there and I'm the biggest Charlie Robinson fan there
is and I'm sitting there singing along and he's just
smiling and he's like. I asked him afterwards, I said,
does this just break your heart? He goes, no, this
is why we make people pay more for private events,
(16:36):
because they're horrible to do. People never understand and say, hey, Michael,
I'm trying to get Robert o' keen to play my house.
But he's charging all this money. I know you didn't
pay him that much. No, because I provided a venue
where he could perform music to people who are fans
of his, and that gives that's artistry. Otherwise it's like,
you know, you're getting going to the dentist. And he said,
(16:58):
why is it so much? Because the people at your
party are not fans of his. They won't know the songs,
and they won't listen, and they'll probably talk the whole time.
And artists don't want that. They want to commune with
the audience and sing along with the audience who's enjoying
what they're doing. And so if I'm gonna have to
do something I don't want to do. It's why I
charge a lot more money to travel and speak than
(17:19):
to speak locally, because I don't want to be away
from my family. It's the same thing. And so anyway,
I said, man, this has got to break your Heart's
got to be awful, and he said, no, you just
get paid a lot of money. But I felt bad
for Bill because Bill goes and gets a great band. Anyway,
he's on the bord of Texas Traditions Bank. Michael Durski
Do you know him? Monarch Stainless a prominent Stainless still
(17:42):
distribution company. I don't know Michael Durshky. Vicky Kaiser, retired
partner at Deloitte rand lass Us, managing partner of Strategic Paths.
He's got a banking background. And Matt Mabray, that's our
buddy in the concrete business, about fifty other businesses. Darren Miller,
(18:03):
he's a lawyer. Samuel Morris. He's at Sunset Capital, a
vertally vertically integrated real estate investment and asset management firm.
John Pritchett Partners real Estate. David Roth he's the CFO.
Collin Zalman. I think he's there too anyway, So I
(18:27):
didn't know Texas Tradition's banks before. We're actually looking for
a bank. I'm not saying that they're going to be it,
but we we want a bank sponsor. We've been actively
looking for that for a while. It's got to be
locally owned it so they they may fit the build.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Govern Are you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but
it only later in your political career did you change
your position?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Why? I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I become friends with school shooters. I've become friends with
school shooters. There I become friends with school shooters. That
(19:41):
become friends with school shooters. Because I've become friends with
school shooters. I've become friends with school shooters. Let him
(20:10):
come friends with school shooters.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Did he add hunters laugh at then? Oh that's from friends.
Oh okay, I never watched it, lost decade all. A
very accomplished female lawyer friend of mine last night after
the debate emailed me as follows quote. JD Vance was
(20:35):
masterful tonight. Why because he clearly won, but was also
not mean. This is very important to women. He beat
up on Waltz in a polite way. Jim, who called
in the first hour, said he didn't like that. He
wanted JD to pummel him, wanted him to leave his
(20:57):
dead carcass, his political carcass in the middle of the room,
show no patience, no mercy, which would be great, except
we know very clearly it would cost you the election. Remember,
you're only as good as your weakest link, and a
(21:20):
small percentage of women, but enough to swing the election.
Doesn't mean you ladies out there are dumb dums. You're not.
But some of the other people with your same reproductive
organs are, and some of those are undecided, and we
got to get them to vote the right way. And
it was a delicate, nuanced knockout. Did it appeal to
(21:44):
my buddies who drive around in a jacked up truck
with big wheels, big knobby wheels, blowing Dixie out of
their horn with a Confederate flag out the back. No, no,
they wanted a knockout, but we don't have enough to win,
(22:04):
So you got to go in and get some people
who like to think of themselves. It's very sophisticated. Even
the New York Times headline Vance's dominant debate performance shows
why he's Trump's running mate. When you've lost the New
York Times, I was just thinking about the Righteous Brothers.
(22:25):
I went into that scene with Goose and Maverick. That
was back before Tom Cruise was just real weird. He
wasn't so weird back then. Let's go to Carol, Carol,
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome sweetheart, Carol, Carol Scott,
how about you, Scott, You're only Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Good morning, mister Barry. Hey, I wanted to let you know.
You know, after I do about two hours worth of
conference calls in the morning, and I tuned into your
show and I hear a really really track the voice
call in and a turkey gobbles in the background, and
a goat gobbles or a goat baze in the background.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I know my day is getting better.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So I really appreciate you putting on such an amazing
product today.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Well, what a nice thing to say. The other is,
you did you did wonderful. I'm sorry, go ahead, sir,
and uh.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And the other thing was, I didn't watch the debate
last night. I pulled it up on YouTube this morning.
Was watching it because I get up at like four
in the morning and I sit and prep for all
my conference calls, and I kept seeing all these fourth
wall breaks by by mister Vance and you you actually
(23:49):
made a comment about that, and I thought, holy cow,
wasn't that a brilliant move on his part to not
come out and say.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You know what, you are a moron yall?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
He just kind of looked at the camera and said,
everybody else, make your.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Decision less is more?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yes, sir, it was.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It was a beautiful night. Scott very well said, very
well said fantastic call. Fantastic call, sir. Jd Vance's performance
was the best performance I've ever seen in my life
(24:38):
since Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
It was.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, it's hard for people to get everybody says
all day, I get messages. You know what jd Vance
was said, he said, Hey, Tim Wallas, yiky suck it
man and hate a one. No, that's I know that
sounds good to you right now, but that's really not
what he needed to do. You know what jd Vance said,
(25:04):
he was I was in warning you wouldn't I'm gonna
kick your ass, and he'd one No. I don't think
that would have done it either, But thank you. Everybody
can tell jd Vance what one line that they wish
he had said that he didn't say, and how that
would have won it, offer him because that would have
(25:25):
made that person happier, but it wouldn't have actually tested
well jd Vance's performance, every single part of it, the
stupid stuff that I study that you have no reason
to need to study and does not matter or shouldn't matter,
but does. The way he walked to the podium technically elected,
(25:50):
the way he exited, the way his delivery, his cadence
is pacing when he had to disagree, and he had
to disagree firmly, sternly, but not over the top with
the quote unquote fact checkers who weren't supposed to be
(26:10):
doing that and we're wrong. He did it with a
plumb and it's a balancing act. It's so delicate. And
the thing that he did was when Waltz was really
doing his jazz hands and getting really creepy, he'd kind
of lean in like that's all pholk, sporky pig and
kind of looked at you in the audience, and he
spoke directly to you with his eyes and it was
(26:31):
your master.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Wide?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Michael Barry had become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during
the deadly Tenemen Square protests in the spring of nineteen
eighty nine, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets
are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until
August of that year. Can you explain that Discrepancyah, Well, and.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
The folks out there, it didn't get at the top
of this look.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I grew up in small, rural Nebraska, a town of
four hundred.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, and then I
use the GI Bill to become a teacher.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the
summer of eighty nine to travel to China and then
started a program to take young people there. But I've
not been perfect and I'm a knucklehead at times, and
in Congress, I was one of the most bipartisan people,
working on things like farm bills that we got done,
working on veterans benefits. So look, my commitment has been
(27:44):
from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for
the people. I will say more than anything. Many times,
I will talk a lot. I will get caught.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Up in the rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
I would make the case that Donald Trump should have
come on one of those trips with US. I guarantee
you you wouldn't be praising chijingping about COVID, and I
guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that he
ends up losing. So this is about trying to understand
the world. It's about trying to do the best you
can for your community. My commitment, whether it be through teaching,
(28:15):
which I was good at, or whether it was being
a good soldier orlways being a good member of Congress,
those are the things that I think are the values
that people care about.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Governor.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Just to follow up on that, the question was, can
you explain the norepancy.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this so I will just
that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong
and China during the democracy protests went in and from
that I learned a lot of what needed to be
in governance.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Mister Madison, what you just said is one of the
most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point
in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to
anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in
this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
(29:12):
I award you no points, and may God have mercy
on your soul.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
This is important. There is a wonderful thirty for thirty.
It's one of the last ones to come out as
maybe two thirty thirty four thirdays ago. It's on Michael Chang,
and Michael Chang's parents came here from China and here
was a young man. He's my I think he's my
(29:38):
exact same age, and he's coming up through the ranks
in tennis, and there were no Asian kids playing tennis
at the time. Now it's all Asian, it's all Indians
because their parents want them to be more well rounded
so they can get into Harvard and Yell and Stanford
and so they are dominant and as players because the
(30:03):
white and black kids all play baseball, basketball, football, and
so there weren't that many kids playing tennis the Indian
kids because you don't have to be on a team.
The fact that your mother who's making you spend four
hours a day a drilling for spelling bee, can also
make you spend four hours a day because you don't
need to sleep that much playing tennis. Well, Michael Chang
(30:26):
comes up through the ranks and he's playing to be
the youngest French Open champion in history, which he did,
and Teneman Square is going on at the same time.
This was a major moment. I remember, I was obsessed
(30:46):
with this moment. The Chinese people were willing themselves to freedom.
We had never seen anything in the modern world quite
like this. This was bigger than Leck Willessa in Poland.
This was bigger than the freeing of Hungary Romania. This
(31:08):
was the freeing.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
This was.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Potentially as big as the fall of the Soviet Union.
And I was obsessed because of the importance of it.
Maybe China could could no longer be the heel, but
could be the baby face in the world. Maybe they
(31:33):
could be our ally, Maybe they could be a force
for good and most of all, the Chinese people could
finally have a life to be proud of, a life
of hope, which they hadn't. That's very important. This was
this was a major, major thing, and it talks about
(31:54):
Michael Change's kind of relationship to all of that and
wishing for the best for the Chinese people for his anyway.
It's a great watch. So Tim Walls has had students
and colleagues who've come out and said Tim Waltz is
an avowed communist and he worships Communist China's government a CCP.
(32:18):
We've seen this disturbing trend before. We've seen it in
Lee Harvey Oswald, whose wife Marina he married in Russia
and he was trying to get back to Russia but
he couldn't get a visa when Kennedy was assassinated, whoever
did it, He tried to get to Russia through Mexico City,
through the Cuban embassy there, in the Russian embassy there.
(32:42):
He had been to Russia on his honeymoon. Bernie Sanders
obsession with Russia. He honeymooned in Soviet Union Russia. Now,
think about where your head is you're so caught up
in this cult, this ideology. Tim Waltz is that for China.
(33:07):
But what he's done is he has reframed that as
if to say, I was at Tieneman Square because I
am so passionate about freedom.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
In China.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Quite the opposite. He is a huge supporter of the CCP.
I am certain he's a controlled asset for them. And
I don't say that lightly. I am certain of it.
I'm certain of it based on things I've seen. I've
not been told that by an inside person. I don't
want to give you the wrong idea, but I am
certain of it. I feel certain. I suspect it strongly.
(33:48):
Let me say that he's made thirty trips to China.
He's not in the corrugated box business. He doesn't have
a manufacturing facility there. He's never been in the private sector.
Why is he going to China so much? He can't
tell you. People who've been around him say he worships China.
(34:13):
And he got caught. He claimed he was at Tenneman
Square and he lied. I misspoke sometimes I'm a knucklehead.
You lied here he was in twenty nineteen, twenty five
or month. When did you live in China.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
About late eighties, Okay, so you know I was there.
I see this happening in Hong Kong.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
As as a more serious note, I was in Hong
Kong on not on June fourth, nineteen eighty nine, when,
of course Tenneman.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Square happened, and I was in China after that.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
It was very strange because of course all outside transmissions
were blocked Voice.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Of America, and of course there was no phones or email.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Or anything, so I was kind of out of touch.
It took me a month to know the Berlin Wall
had fallen when I was living there.
