Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very Show is on the air for American citizens.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day for you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Last year we ad last.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Thank God the matter were.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
all over the world.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We will be the envy of every.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken
advantage of any longer. During every single day of the
Trump administration, I will very simply put America first. Our
sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the
(01:20):
scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and
unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end,
(01:49):
and our top priority will be to create a nation
that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger,
and far more exceptional than ever before.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Our returned to.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
The presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the
start of a thrilling new era of national success. A
tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring
over the entire world, and America has the chance to
seize this opportunity like never before. From this moment on,
(02:28):
America's decline is over, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years,
I have been tested and challenged more than any president
in our two hundred and fifty year history, and I've
learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim
(02:50):
our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Through my ear.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
But I felt then and believe even more so now,
that my life was saved for a reason. I was
saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, today is today the first one hundred days of
President Trump's second presidency, and a victory lap is in order,
which is what he will do tonight in Michigan in
the setting where he is the best of the modern era.
(03:52):
The rally, I say the modern era because presidents today
are all I have to get age by. And the
rally was a very popular form of campaigning, particularly before
the mass media. It's kind of quaint that the president
(04:12):
still does rallies. But let's be very clear. He doesn't
do the rallies for the people. He does the rallies
for him. He feeds off that energy. It makes him
a better president. I will just be honest with you.
I don't want to sound like an old woman, but
(04:34):
I worry.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I do. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I know that's not the tough guy persona you want
me to play. I worry about him being exposed. Do
you remember what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania in June of
last year?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Because I do. He's irreplaceable.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He is now there will be someone who will succeed him,
but he's irreplaceable there. They're not of his level. And
I worry about it. But you know, I'll tell you this.
I also understand that he's a unique creature and that
(05:19):
tonight will feed him. It will nourish him being out
there and knowing what he means to those people. That
makes him feel good. That makes him a better president.
And of course the people there will love it. But realistically,
(05:43):
that's point oh oh.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
One percent of the people in the country. You can't.
You can't touch enough people.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
As president at rallies to make a significant difference in
the population.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That'll be it'll be shared.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
But this is a beautiful, wonderful thing, and things are
going well in America. Things are going very well in America,
and we need to tell people that that's how you
change the polls. Here's Steven Miller talking to Sean Hannity
(06:23):
about what to expect in Trump's first hundred days.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me paint a picture for you, Sean of those
first two hundred days. Rapid, total, complete deregulation of American
energy exploration. You're going to see an American energy boom
starting right away. You're going to see all the regulations
that are strangling job growth in this country and driving
up prizes, driving up housing costs go away.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You're going to see the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Border sealed shot, the criminal aliens are going to be
shipped home, and foreign countries around the world are going
to accept the gang members and the cartel members that
are poisoning our families and murdering American children. You're going
to see pa begin to restore to the world as
the President works to bring back harmony in the Middle East,
Harmony in Europe. You're going to see him work with
(07:07):
Congress to pass another round of historic tax relief, and
you're going to see a government that is accountable to
the people again.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The swamp will be drained on day one.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Incompetent and disloyal people that are hurting this nation are
going to be replaced with those who care only for
the American people, the American worker, and the American future.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It will be a new Golden age.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Sean.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
All right, let's get some reactions from everyday Americans like
you and me. Newsmax caught up with a Kentucky resident
and asked her how she felt about President Trump's first
one hundred days in office.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You're gonna like this, What.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Do you think of the first hundred days? So Trump
blown away? Amazing, amazing. He couldn't have done any better
For seventy eight years old. He's phenomenal. I'd like to
see anybody who can stay up as late as he
does at night and be up the next morning and
still function all day, because I.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Don't think I could.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
What have you liked the most in terms of what
he's done?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Oh my gosh, the immigration policies. You know, if you
hear it legally, you need to do home.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I'm not sure what your question was with the Michael Berris,
I lost the plot somewhere.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You did the reminder that today is the end of
the one hundred days. This is one hundredth day of
President Trump's second term.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And we just finished.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
At the end of the last segment we heard from
a lady in Kentucky. Now, let's see what other people.
Let's see what the real people, not the media who
hate him. Let's see what the real people of America
are saying about how they think the president is doing
so far. And if you want to share your views
on how the president is doing with me, you can
go to our website. Michael Berry showed up where you
(09:01):
can sign up for our daily e blast, which in
you clips of stories and articles that I'm reading and
things like that. You can buy our merch and you
send me an email there and they all come to me.
I literally read them all. People don't believe it, but
I do read them all. Fellow who posts under the
name Tony times two on Twitter says President Trump has
(09:23):
had the best first one hundred days of any president ever.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Donald Trump's first hundred days an officer coming up, and
now the liberal news stations have already started that smill
campaign saying Donald Trump that.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The lords of Pool rating.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Ever, this is the lords of Pool rating for a
president and the second term straight nun since they got
to make up stuff about Trump because he got here
and got straight to business. We had an issue with
the southern border for the longest Camala Harris, Joe Biden.
They gasted us for four years straight and said that
we were having no issues at the southern border, That
it wasn't a record number llegal immigrants invade the non nation,
(10:02):
That it wasn't illegal immigrants unlive and innocent American citizens,
That it wasn't illegal immigrants harassing our legal immigrant communities.
Y'all said that wasn't happening donald Trump getting office and
addressed that immediately.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Not because of Trump and Tom Homan.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
It's a record low of illegal border crosses at the
southern border. Some of these immigration shelters in these sanctuary
cities they have to close down because of a lack
of applicants. That's because of Donald J.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Trump. That's what we call a Trump effect. What else
the tarriffs.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It's not our fault that y'all don't understand the tariffs.
Y'all walking around here complaining, Oh, Donald Trump's about to
ruin the world with these tariffs. It's not our fault
that you don't understand Trump's agenda.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's not our fault that you don't understand that.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Barack Obama implemented tariffs on China and.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
It didn't work.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
It didn't get us a better trade deal. Joe Biden
got an office, tried the same thing, still didn't work.
But then when Trump getting office of a plot blanket tariffs,
all of a sudden time they want to try to
come to the table. Now you're seeing them starting to
remove stuff from their tariffs. This is what you call
getting a fair deal. This is all because of Donald Trump.
He took it up, he took it to the next level.
(11:08):
Obama couldn't get it done, Biden couldn't get it done.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
But guess who is getting it done. That'd be Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
So, like I said, it ain't my fault that y'all
don't understand tariffs. Y'all want to keep telling me these
lines like gas went up. That's a bold faced line.
Gas is not going up. I'm paying three dollars and
sixty cents for ninety three gas, So y'all can tell
that a lot of somebody else. I'm not trying to
hear it. Then y'all told us, or what about the jobs?
Who's gonna pick the fruit, who's gonna cut the grass?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And all this other nonsense. Well how about this.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
According to the BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics, one hundred
and fifty one thousand jobs came back to the United
States in February of two hundred and twenty eight thousand
jobs came back to the United States in marsh that's
three hundred and seventy nine thousand jobs. And y'all got
the nerd to complain about what Donald Trump is doing.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Said, well, he wasn't creating any jobs, straight up nonsense.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
What about these HBCUs, y'all said, Trump is a YT supremiaise, Well,
how about he signed the executive order calling out the states,
saying the states have not been holding up their responsibility
when it comes to funding these hbc used.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
He already got permanent funded for the hbc used. And
this is what a YT supremacy did.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
He's calling out the states that they need to do
a better job with these HBC used, and he's created
different departments within the White House to address this. Y'all
should go read that executive order. A lot of HBC
used than Trump for that. What about the executive order
he signedup about school safety? He brought a woman up
from Charlotte. She was attacked in the school, and now
they bring a back paddling in some of these schools.
(12:40):
This is what Donald Trump has done. What about the
fact that Trump has brought factories back to the United States?
Talk about kill, talk about apple. These are things that
Donald Trump is doing. What about the deals he has
secured one point four trillion dollars from the UAE invested
into our AI infrastructure. I'm just comfus on what they
(13:00):
mean to approve of rating this blow.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It took me.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
It just sounds like Donald Trump is getting the job
done and they hate the fact that the other side
is getting the job done. So what is the real issue?
All that comes down to is this you all hating
the United States because Donald Trump won, and you hate
Trump because he took out both your competitors, Kamala Harris
and Joe Biden. I don't care what anybody say. Donald
Trump is addressing the things that the American citizen have
(13:25):
been worried about, and he did that in one hundred days.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I'm glad I bought him for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Fox News asked some of our fellow Americans what they
thought of President Trump's first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
First of all, He's done more in the first one
hundred days than I've done in my thirty eight year career.
So he's great to watch. But I really love the
cabinet meetings. He lets the American people into those rooms.
We get to observe the questions and the answers know
what they're doing. It's really a way that he connects
with the public, and I think that's so important. Negotiating
(14:01):
is his skills are unbelievable. You remember when he was
negotiating for the Boeing jet and he talked about how
he wanted it under I think it was three hundred
thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
He got it to two ninety nine nine nine nine planes.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
I'd like inflation to come down a little more, but
I'm patient. I think we need to be patient because
he's going to get it done. He's got the stomach
for it, and we just got to be behind him
one hundred percent. So just keep doing what you're doing,
President Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We love it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Safety mas Lov's hierarchy of needs. Our first need is
safety and security.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
The first of the day is what grade would you
give Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And why?
Speaker 10 (14:43):
On a scale of one to ten twenty Watch what
I just I feel safer, I feel more confident. I
know who's running the country, and we hadn't for the
last four years. I think the economy is going to
come around.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I love the people.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
That he's picked for the cabinet. I think everybody is
just doing a top notch job, and I love those.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I study a peacock, a feral peacock that landed in
our yard.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's not our peacock. They don't belong to you. They
just cavort around.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But I study him and I notice he takes the
pack of a worm, and then he looks around, takes
a pack of a worm, looks around because birds are prey.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
They're not predator. Mean, I guess they're a predator to
the worm.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
But the first thing they have to worry about, more
than food, more than continuing the species, is safety. It's
the number one responsibility of government to provide for the
safety of our people from foreign enemies and domestic should
(15:56):
also ensure liberty. I guess arguably insuring liberty is first.
We'll have to take some responsibility for our own safety. Yeah,
I would say that, but safety is important. I got
carried away on that. I would say ensuring liberty is
probably most important. But this would feel safer because Donald
Trump is president. Do you think anybody ever felt safer
(16:19):
because of Joe Biden, or for that matter, Barack Obama,
or for that matter, George W.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Bush.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He dragged us into wars, he didn't get us out
of them. This president deserves a Nobel Peace.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
January twenty, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Michael Barry show cut any real.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Let's look at Joe Biden and how his presidency started
started the same way it ended with an invasion on
our southern border. This is an illegal alien in one
of the many caravans Joe Biden let into our country,
welcomed them here, incentivized them to come here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
What I want for my people, I just want patient
and past that we can get to the US because
they having a new president versus Biden. He's going to
help all of us. He's given us one hundred days
to get to the US and give us legal men
to pay for so we can get a better life
for our kids and family.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Listen to what Joe Biden's goal was for his first
one hundred days masks.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Masks.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
That's because masks represent the subjugation of the people to
the authoritarian figure.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
And I think my inclination, Jake is on the first
day I'm inaugurated, to say I'm going to ask the
public for one hundred days to mask, just one hundred
days to mask, not forever. One hundred days, and I
think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that
that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the
(17:51):
numbers considerably.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You know, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris. That's
not the only bullet that was dodged last year. To
the nation's benefit, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris.
Gun control was her top priority when she ran for
her party's nomination in twenty twenty. That was the big issue.
No matter what she said during the campaign, she was
(18:12):
still a progressive loan.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
I'm proposing one that if by my one hundredth day
in office, when elected President of the United States, the
United States Congress fails to put a bill on my
desk to sign with all of the good ideas or
any of the good ideas, then I am prepared to
take executive action because that's what's.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Needed, executive options to do.
Speaker 12 (18:36):
Specifically, for anyone who sells more than five guns a year,
they will be required to perform background checks on the
people they sell them to.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And this will be the most.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
Comprehensive background check policy that has ever been had in
our country thus far.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Can that be executive order? Yes, yes it can. I
am also prepared.
Speaker 12 (18:56):
To say and to direct the ATF to remove and
take away the licenses of gun dealers who fail to
follow the law. And Jake, ninety percent of the guns
that are associated with kron have been sold by five
percent of the gun dealers.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
We need to take their licenses away.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Batya Ungar Sargon is the deputy editing editor of the
Deputy Opinion editor for Newsweek. She was on CNN to
talk about Trump's first hundred days. She says, this is
this is no, this is no, nothing to sneeze at.
She said, the very thing that he's being criticized for
(19:39):
is the theme that actually worked.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
This is a very, very astute.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Point, is that the very thing that he's being criticized
for is the thing that worked. If he had come
in and very nicely and politely gone to each of
these countries has worked.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm trying explain if.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
You have very nicely and calmly and politely gone to
each of these countries and said, look, you've been screwing
us over. You've been screwing over the American working class
for forty years, and we're not going to take it anymore.
Let's sit down and have like a nice conversation. Why
won't you How about you you bring down those tariffs.
Let's meet halfway somewhere, because.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You would have said, no way. I'll tell you what works.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
He picked up a baseball bet, he whacked the stock market,
and now they're all sitting there in a state of
relief that.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
It's only.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And they're all to the way.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
That's how you know, legitimately, I'm legitimately confused. So Trump
destroying twenty percent of wealth in the country, all losses uncovered,
who wins?
Speaker 9 (20:43):
If you have done it.
Speaker 14 (20:43):
Hold on, Kevin, don't don't what who benefits? Who benefits
when the stock market drops and people lose value in
both their their in both their investments.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Now to jet a deal.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
So yeah, it's been for weeks and we don't have
a deal yet.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
They're working.
Speaker 13 (21:01):
They're very close to announcing them. India and Vietnam both
announced tariffs on China. You think they would have done
that if Trump hadn't shown that he was serious about
standing up for the American working class and that he doesn't.
Speaker 14 (21:14):
Work for wa How have the American people benefited? Is
the question that I'm asking in.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
This PIO, in this period in factory.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Those are commitments that have not materialized in.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
As we're having on the audio today and heavy on
the audio this week, and that's because there are a
lot of things that I'm trying to work in. I
know some of you like me to talk longer form,
and we'll do that typically that is what we do.
But I have been consuming more media than usual because
(21:50):
I'm curious to see how the narrative is being shaped
and I like to kind of present that to you
and weave that through the narrative. I'm presenting So if
you're wondering why we're playing more audio than usual, it's
because I am prepping by consuming more media than usual.
Usually when I'm off air, I like to spend some
(22:11):
time watching movies and documentaries and reading books. But of late,
I've really been studying what they're doing to try to
slow Trump down, and I'm trying to share that with you.
So just so you know, maybe I over explained the show,
but some people like to know why I'm doing what
I'm doing, especially when it's different than I normally do.
Ashley Parker of the Atlantic was on MSNBC with Jim
(22:32):
Psaki to talk about her sit down interview with President Trump.
Pasaki wanted Ashley Parker of the Atlantic to disparage Donald Trump,
as they all do you know, we've got to keep
this narrative going.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
She said no. She said he's certainly.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Bad right now.
Speaker 15 (22:50):
I mean they have moved downward, even on issues that
he ran on, like cost of living, immigration, and he
wants to project strength and.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Joy or something.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's joy, just strength.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
This isn't an age old tactic in white houses, right
We're going to tell everybody everything's great, that's what he
kind of.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Said in the interview.
Speaker 15 (23:08):
He seemed to try to be attempting to project that
they're doing other interviews.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Why do you is that really his mental.
Speaker 15 (23:14):
Space or is this sort of a tactic from the
White House to just try to project that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So a couple of things.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
One thing about I think he is trying to project strength.
I think one reason he specifically brought us in at
The Atlantic and included for the second interview Jeff Goldberg,
the editor in chief, it was a little bit of
game respects game. He had said in a second Truth
social post that Signal Gate was somewhat successful. So Jeff
asked him, what did you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Did you mean that we revealed, you.
Speaker 15 (23:39):
Know, operational security flaws that the administration has now fixed.
And President Trump basically said, no, No, you were successful
essentially because you got publicity for your story and you
really owned.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That news cycle.
Speaker 15 (23:52):
And again that's another window in to the president. And
also when we were there, he was in People who
know him know this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He has the capacidy.
Speaker 15 (23:59):
He was charming, he was charismatic, and his goal in
that moment was to win us in most specifically Jeff over.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So that was the Michael Verry show The Place where
Wolke Goes to die.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Let's talk about the other bullet we dodged, Joe Biden
and his decline. We played this the other day, but
I want to play this again because.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This is important.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
This is Alex Thompson of Axios lecturing the media at
the White House Correspondence dinner for covering up Biden's lack
of mental acuity, and this needs to be done. We
have to call these people out and not let them
get away with what they did.
Speaker 16 (24:41):
The White House Corresponds Association is as necessary as ever.
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being true tellers
(25:02):
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
missed a lot of this story, and some people trust
us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for
faith in the media being at such lows.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I say this because.
Speaker 16 (25:28):
Acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about them further
erodes him.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We should have done better.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt was asked about those
comments at Alex Thompson made about Joe Biden's mental decline,
and I got to tell you, you know, everybody in
this administration has stepped up. Everybody has really really stepped up.
I didn't know how, I know how she was going
to do, but she has really risen to the occasion.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Is this is good stuff, Alex Thompson.
Speaker 17 (26:00):
Said at the White House Correspondent Center, And I'm going
to read his quote. President Biden's decline and it's cover
up by the people around him is a reminder that
every White House, regardless of the party, is capable of discession.
We myself included, miss a lot of this story, and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Some people trust us less because of it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Can you comment on those remarks and.
Speaker 14 (26:17):
Whether you agree with that assessment.
Speaker 18 (26:19):
I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who
I understand won an award for writing a story months
and perhaps years after the American people already knew that
story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally
and competent president struggle with his day to day duties
of this office. We watched our country be ran into
the ground as a result, and nobody in the media
(26:41):
wanted to write about that.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Talk about it.
Speaker 18 (26:43):
There were many many reporters, I will say, write leaning
reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards,
didn't get coverage. In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage.
And I remember being on President Trump's campaign talking about
Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused by people
in this room of manufacturing deep fake videos, trying to
(27:06):
persuade the public into not believing what they saw with
their own eyes for many years, and I think it's
about time the legacy media finally admits that was one
of the greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took
place in American history. And certainly it did contribute to
the decline and the trust that Americans have for the
legacy media here, which, by the way, is why we've
(27:26):
made many changes to this briefing room in this White House.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It's long overdue. That's smarmy little f Chuck Todd.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Every time I see Chuck Todd's name gives me a
fond memory thinking of Rush saying it and how much
fun he had just ridiculing the pretentiousness of Chuck Todd. Anyway,
he and Ashley Allison were discussing the media's role in
the cover up, and Chuck Todd doesn't take any responsibility.
He blames the Democrats. Well, I guess it's better blaming
(27:56):
the Republicans.
Speaker 19 (27:57):
You know, if Coca Cola had a bunch of people
no longer drinking Coca cola, you want to actually go
interview people who used to drink Coca cola and ask
them how come you're not drinking Coca cola anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't get the sense of that at all.
Speaker 19 (28:08):
There's there's there's still this idea, oh no, no, no, no,
if we just sell it better, if we just do
it better. And then on the last comment, it's just
kind of interesting. I do think what happened to the
Democratic Party is they kept comparing Biden to Trump rather
than Biden to what a president should be able to do.
And I think it was like, well, Trump's kind of
out there, and he's so it's so it's good enough
(28:29):
to go against Trump. Well no, like that doesn't shouldn't
have been the But I do think whatever that explanation is,
I think it all had to do with them judging
Biden through the prism of well, Trump's sort of out there,
so it's good.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Enough for that, Ash Alison, what do you think.
Speaker 20 (28:46):
Look in twenty twenty two after the mid terms, I said,
if you want to run for president and be the
Democratic nominee, anybody who wants to run should be able
to run. Unfortunately nobody will. A couple of people, but
Dean Phillips, right, Dean Phillips stepped up. Democrats, we should
have had a primary for this midterm election, and we didn't,
and so now we're living with the consequences of it.
(29:08):
I hope that our party wakes up and realizes it,
and that me saying that doesn't mean that I don't
respect Joe Biden, but there's a reality, and that we
should have given our voters an opportunity to make a
decision for themselves, and by the time we had to
make a decision, it was too late.
Speaker 19 (29:24):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set
of voters who felt like they had to say in.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
This hold up rough mahone, hold up a minute play
that last ten seconds or so. Again, I want to
make sure everybody hears this.
Speaker 19 (29:45):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set
of voters who felt like they had to say in this.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know, it's so fun to watch these guys.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They've all lost their jobs and now they're doing podcasts
at home like it's the middle of COVID and it's
so sad and pitiful, and they're all trying to change reality.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Chuck Todd was on a podcast.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
With former CNN reporter Chris Solissa where he blamed right
wing virtue signalers. How come y'all are out there, and
I'm one of them, by the way, how come y'all
are out there saying that we were covering up for
Joe Biden's middle decline, covering up for your own middle decline.
There were one of these dudeses in therapy. They're all nuts,
they all have mental health problems. You ever notice that
(30:32):
everybody on the left is nuts and you know how
you know they're nuts because they talk about going to
their therapist all the time.
Speaker 19 (30:39):
This is not a media failure. This is a failure
of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the
virtue signaling that some people have done to try to
say that the media missed this story.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
They didn't miss this story. David Ignatius wrote.
Speaker 19 (30:53):
I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it's
a right wing manufactured, right wing premise in order to
stay in the media, the media has got plenty of
things to attack them for. And there are MSNBC and
CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water for Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But they're not journalists.
Speaker 19 (31:11):
They're a former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden.
The journalist David Ignatius wrote a very high profile column
in October of twenty three saying, is he really running again?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
This doesn't seem like a good idea.
Speaker 19 (31:23):
People like me were promoting Dean Phillips's campaign because he.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Was running set So you know, it's not like this.
Speaker 19 (31:34):
This isn't WMDs, where the White House worked with the
mainstream media to manufacture a story that did not exist,
that was a press failure, massive press failure.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
This was not that failure.
Speaker 19 (31:49):
This is an attempt by some to virtue signal, and
it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against
each other, when ultimately the people at fall are Chuck Schumer,
Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, every elected
member of Congress.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Solzie says that journalists weren't covering up for Biden, but
rather their bias had them trusting the Biden White House.
Why would you have a bias in favor of the Democrats?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh, I have.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
We weren't covering up. We were just biased because we
trusted them. It's their fault because we trusted them. They
should not have abused our trust. We just trusted them.
That's our fault. Yeah, do you hear yourself?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Why didn't you ask more questions? And I will This
is I'm not speaking for all of the media, because
all the media is a fast thing. But here's what
I would say. Any study that you ever.
Speaker 21 (32:45):
See about who reporters vote for, they vote for Democrats
much more than Republicans. And I think what was going
on here is is I think it was an inherent
and sort of unconscious bias more than a conscious bias.
But I think the reporters covering this White House were
two willing to take the Biden teams word for you,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very Show is on the air for American citizens.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day for you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Last year we ad last.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Thank God the matter were.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
all over the world.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We will be the envy of every.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken
advantage of any longer. During every single day of the
Trump administration, I will very simply put America first. Our
sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the
(01:20):
scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and
unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end,
(01:49):
and our top priority will be to create a nation
that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger,
and far more exceptional than ever before.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Our returned to.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
The presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the
start of a thrilling new era of national success. A
tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring
over the entire world, and America has the chance to
seize this opportunity like never before. From this moment on,
(02:28):
America's decline is over, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years,
I have been tested and challenged more than any president
in our two hundred and fifty year history, and I've
learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim
(02:50):
our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Through my ear.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
But I felt then and believe even more so now,
that my life was saved for a reason. I was
saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, today is today the first one hundred days of
President Trump's second presidency, and a victory lap is in order,
which is what he will do tonight in Michigan in
the setting where he is the best of the modern era.
(03:52):
The rally, I say the modern era because presidents today
are all I have to get age by. And the
rally was a very popular form of campaigning, particularly before
the mass media. It's kind of quaint that the president
(04:12):
still does rallies. But let's be very clear. He doesn't
do the rallies for the people. He does the rallies
for him. He feeds off that energy. It makes him
a better president. I will just be honest with you.
I don't want to sound like an old woman, but
(04:34):
I worry.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I do. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I know that's not the tough guy persona you want
me to play. I worry about him being exposed. Do
you remember what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania in June of
last year?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Because I do. He's irreplaceable.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He is now there will be someone who will succeed him,
but he's irreplaceable there. They're not of his level. And
I worry about it. But you know, I'll tell you this.
I also understand that he's a unique creature and that
(05:19):
tonight will feed him. It will nourish him being out
there and knowing what he means to those people. That
makes him feel good. That makes him a better president.
And of course the people there will love it. But realistically,
(05:43):
that's point oh oh.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
One percent of the people in the country. You can't.
You can't touch enough people.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
As president at rallies to make a significant difference in
the population.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That'll be it'll be shared.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
But this is a beautiful, wonderful thing, and things are
going well in America. Things are going very well in America,
and we need to tell people that that's how you
change the polls. Here's Steven Miller talking to Sean Hannity
(06:23):
about what to expect in Trump's first hundred days.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me paint a picture for you, Sean of those
first two hundred days. Rapid, total, complete deregulation of American
energy exploration. You're going to see an American energy boom
starting right away. You're going to see all the regulations
that are strangling job growth in this country and driving
up prizes, driving up housing costs go away.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You're going to see the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Border sealed shot, the criminal aliens are going to be
shipped home, and foreign countries around the world are going
to accept the gang members and the cartel members that
are poisoning our families and murdering American children. You're going
to see pa begin to restore to the world as
the President works to bring back harmony in the Middle East,
Harmony in Europe. You're going to see him work with
(07:07):
Congress to pass another round of historic tax relief, and
you're going to see a government that is accountable to
the people again.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The swamp will be drained on day one.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Incompetent and disloyal people that are hurting this nation are
going to be replaced with those who care only for
the American people, the American worker, and the American future.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It will be a new Golden age.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Sean.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
All right, let's get some reactions from everyday Americans like
you and me. Newsmax caught up with a Kentucky resident
and asked her how she felt about President Trump's first
one hundred days in office.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You're gonna like this, What.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Do you think of the first hundred days? So Trump
blown away? Amazing, amazing. He couldn't have done any better
For seventy eight years old. He's phenomenal. I'd like to
see anybody who can stay up as late as he
does at night and be up the next morning and
still function all day, because I.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Don't think I could.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
What have you liked the most in terms of what
he's done?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Oh my gosh, the immigration policies. You know, if you
hear it legally, you need to do home.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I'm not sure what your question was with the Michael Berris,
I lost the plot somewhere.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You did the reminder that today is the end of
the one hundred days. This is one hundredth day of
President Trump's second term.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And we just finished.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
At the end of the last segment we heard from
a lady in Kentucky. Now, let's see what other people.
Let's see what the real people, not the media who
hate him. Let's see what the real people of America
are saying about how they think the president is doing
so far. And if you want to share your views
on how the president is doing with me, you can
go to our website. Michael Berry showed up where you
(09:01):
can sign up for our daily e blast, which in
you clips of stories and articles that I'm reading and
things like that. You can buy our merch and you
send me an email there and they all come to me.
I literally read them all. People don't believe it, but
I do read them all. Fellow who posts under the
name Tony times two on Twitter says President Trump has
(09:23):
had the best first one hundred days of any president ever.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Donald Trump's first hundred days an officer coming up, and
now the liberal news stations have already started that smill
campaign saying Donald Trump that.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The lords of Pool rating.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Ever, this is the lords of Pool rating for a
president and the second term straight nun since they got
to make up stuff about Trump because he got here
and got straight to business. We had an issue with
the southern border for the longest Camala Harris, Joe Biden.
They gasted us for four years straight and said that
we were having no issues at the southern border, That
it wasn't a record number llegal immigrants invade the non nation,
(10:02):
That it wasn't illegal immigrants unlive and innocent American citizens,
That it wasn't illegal immigrants harassing our legal immigrant communities.
Y'all said that wasn't happening donald Trump getting office and
addressed that immediately.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Not because of Trump and Tom Homan.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
It's a record low of illegal border crosses at the
southern border. Some of these immigration shelters in these sanctuary
cities they have to close down because of a lack
of applicants. That's because of Donald J.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Trump. That's what we call a Trump effect. What else
the tarriffs.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It's not our fault that y'all don't understand the tariffs.
Y'all walking around here complaining, Oh, Donald Trump's about to
ruin the world with these tariffs. It's not our fault
that you don't understand Trump's agenda.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's not our fault that you don't understand that.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Barack Obama implemented tariffs on China and.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
It didn't work.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
It didn't get us a better trade deal. Joe Biden
got an office, tried the same thing, still didn't work.
But then when Trump getting office of a plot blanket tariffs,
all of a sudden time they want to try to
come to the table. Now you're seeing them starting to
remove stuff from their tariffs. This is what you call
getting a fair deal. This is all because of Donald Trump.
He took it up, he took it to the next level.
(11:08):
Obama couldn't get it done, Biden couldn't get it done.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
But guess who is getting it done. That'd be Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
So, like I said, it ain't my fault that y'all
don't understand tariffs. Y'all want to keep telling me these
lines like gas went up. That's a bold faced line.
Gas is not going up. I'm paying three dollars and
sixty cents for ninety three gas, So y'all can tell
that a lot of somebody else. I'm not trying to
hear it. Then y'all told us, or what about the jobs?
Who's gonna pick the fruit, who's gonna cut the grass?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And all this other nonsense. Well how about this.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
According to the BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics, one hundred
and fifty one thousand jobs came back to the United
States in February of two hundred and twenty eight thousand
jobs came back to the United States in marsh that's
three hundred and seventy nine thousand jobs. And y'all got
the nerd to complain about what Donald Trump is doing.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Said, well, he wasn't creating any jobs, straight up nonsense.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
What about these HBCUs, y'all said, Trump is a YT supremiaise, Well,
how about he signed the executive order calling out the states,
saying the states have not been holding up their responsibility
when it comes to funding these hbc used.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
He already got permanent funded for the hbc used. And
this is what a YT supremacy did.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
He's calling out the states that they need to do
a better job with these HBC used, and he's created
different departments within the White House to address this. Y'all
should go read that executive order. A lot of HBC
used than Trump for that. What about the executive order
he signedup about school safety? He brought a woman up
from Charlotte. She was attacked in the school, and now
they bring a back paddling in some of these schools.
(12:40):
This is what Donald Trump has done. What about the
fact that Trump has brought factories back to the United States?
Talk about kill, talk about apple. These are things that
Donald Trump is doing. What about the deals he has
secured one point four trillion dollars from the UAE invested
into our AI infrastructure. I'm just comfus on what they
(13:00):
mean to approve of rating this blow.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It took me.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
It just sounds like Donald Trump is getting the job
done and they hate the fact that the other side
is getting the job done. So what is the real issue?
All that comes down to is this you all hating
the United States because Donald Trump won, and you hate
Trump because he took out both your competitors, Kamala Harris
and Joe Biden. I don't care what anybody say. Donald
Trump is addressing the things that the American citizen have
(13:25):
been worried about, and he did that in one hundred days.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I'm glad I bought him for Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Fox News asked some of our fellow Americans what they
thought of President Trump's first one hundred days in office.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
First of all, He's done more in the first one
hundred days than I've done in my thirty eight year career.
So he's great to watch. But I really love the
cabinet meetings. He lets the American people into those rooms.
We get to observe the questions and the answers know
what they're doing. It's really a way that he connects
with the public, and I think that's so important. Negotiating
(14:01):
is his skills are unbelievable. You remember when he was
negotiating for the Boeing jet and he talked about how
he wanted it under I think it was three hundred
thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
He got it to two ninety nine nine nine nine planes.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
I'd like inflation to come down a little more, but
I'm patient. I think we need to be patient because
he's going to get it done. He's got the stomach
for it, and we just got to be behind him
one hundred percent. So just keep doing what you're doing,
President Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We love it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Safety mas Lov's hierarchy of needs. Our first need is
safety and security.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
The first of the day is what grade would you
give Donald Trump?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And why?
Speaker 10 (14:43):
On a scale of one to ten twenty Watch what
I just I feel safer, I feel more confident. I
know who's running the country, and we hadn't for the
last four years. I think the economy is going to
come around.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I love the people.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
That he's picked for the cabinet. I think everybody is
just doing a top notch job, and I love those.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I study a peacock, a feral peacock that landed in
our yard.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's not our peacock. They don't belong to you. They
just cavort around.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But I study him and I notice he takes the
pack of a worm, and then he looks around, takes
a pack of a worm, looks around because birds are prey.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
They're not predator. Mean, I guess they're a predator to
the worm.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
But the first thing they have to worry about, more
than food, more than continuing the species, is safety. It's
the number one responsibility of government to provide for the
safety of our people from foreign enemies and domestic should
(15:56):
also ensure liberty. I guess arguably insuring liberty is first.
We'll have to take some responsibility for our own safety. Yeah,
I would say that, but safety is important. I got
carried away on that. I would say ensuring liberty is
probably most important. But this would feel safer because Donald
Trump is president. Do you think anybody ever felt safer
(16:19):
because of Joe Biden, or for that matter, Barack Obama,
or for that matter, George W.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Bush.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
He dragged us into wars, he didn't get us out
of them. This president deserves a Nobel Peace.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
January twenty, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Michael Barry show cut any real.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Let's look at Joe Biden and how his presidency started
started the same way it ended with an invasion on
our southern border. This is an illegal alien in one
of the many caravans Joe Biden let into our country,
welcomed them here, incentivized them to come here.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
What I want for my people, I just want patient
and past that we can get to the US because
they having a new president versus Biden. He's going to
help all of us. He's given us one hundred days
to get to the US and give us legal men
to pay for so we can get a better life
for our kids and family.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Listen to what Joe Biden's goal was for his first
one hundred days masks.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Masks.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
That's because masks represent the subjugation of the people to
the authoritarian figure.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
And I think my inclination, Jake is on the first
day I'm inaugurated, to say I'm going to ask the
public for one hundred days to mask, just one hundred
days to mask, not forever. One hundred days, and I
think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that
that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the
(17:51):
numbers considerably.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You know, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris. That's
not the only bullet that was dodged last year. To
the nation's benefit, we dodged a bullet with Kamala Harris.
Gun control was her top priority when she ran for
her party's nomination in twenty twenty. That was the big issue.
No matter what she said during the campaign, she was
(18:12):
still a progressive loan.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
I'm proposing one that if by my one hundredth day
in office, when elected President of the United States, the
United States Congress fails to put a bill on my
desk to sign with all of the good ideas or
any of the good ideas, then I am prepared to
take executive action because that's what's.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Needed, executive options to do.
Speaker 12 (18:36):
Specifically, for anyone who sells more than five guns a year,
they will be required to perform background checks on the
people they sell them to.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And this will be the most.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
Comprehensive background check policy that has ever been had in
our country thus far.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Can that be executive order? Yes, yes it can. I
am also prepared.
Speaker 12 (18:56):
To say and to direct the ATF to remove and
take away the licenses of gun dealers who fail to
follow the law. And Jake, ninety percent of the guns
that are associated with kron have been sold by five
percent of the gun dealers.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
We need to take their licenses away.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Batya Ungar Sargon is the deputy editing editor of the
Deputy Opinion editor for Newsweek. She was on CNN to
talk about Trump's first hundred days. She says, this is
this is no, this is no, nothing to sneeze at.
She said, the very thing that he's being criticized for
(19:39):
is the theme that actually worked.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
This is a very, very astute.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Point, is that the very thing that he's being criticized
for is the thing that worked. If he had come
in and very nicely and politely gone to each of
these countries has worked.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm trying explain if.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
You have very nicely and calmly and politely gone to
each of these countries and said, look, you've been screwing
us over. You've been screwing over the American working class
for forty years, and we're not going to take it anymore.
Let's sit down and have like a nice conversation. Why
won't you How about you you bring down those tariffs.
Let's meet halfway somewhere, because.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You would have said, no way. I'll tell you what works.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
He picked up a baseball bet, he whacked the stock market,
and now they're all sitting there in a state of
relief that.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
It's only.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And they're all to the way.
Speaker 14 (20:27):
That's how you know, legitimately, I'm legitimately confused. So Trump
destroying twenty percent of wealth in the country, all losses uncovered,
who wins?
Speaker 9 (20:43):
If you have done it.
Speaker 14 (20:43):
Hold on, Kevin, don't don't what who benefits? Who benefits
when the stock market drops and people lose value in
both their their in both their investments.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Now to jet a deal.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
So yeah, it's been for weeks and we don't have
a deal yet.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
They're working.
Speaker 13 (21:01):
They're very close to announcing them. India and Vietnam both
announced tariffs on China. You think they would have done
that if Trump hadn't shown that he was serious about
standing up for the American working class and that he doesn't.
Speaker 14 (21:14):
Work for wa How have the American people benefited? Is
the question that I'm asking in.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
This PIO, in this period in factory.
Speaker 14 (21:23):
Those are commitments that have not materialized in.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
As we're having on the audio today and heavy on
the audio this week, and that's because there are a
lot of things that I'm trying to work in. I
know some of you like me to talk longer form,
and we'll do that typically that is what we do.
But I have been consuming more media than usual because
(21:50):
I'm curious to see how the narrative is being shaped
and I like to kind of present that to you
and weave that through the narrative. I'm presenting So if
you're wondering why we're playing more audio than usual, it's
because I am prepping by consuming more media than usual.
Usually when I'm off air, I like to spend some
(22:11):
time watching movies and documentaries and reading books. But of late,
I've really been studying what they're doing to try to
slow Trump down, and I'm trying to share that with you.
So just so you know, maybe I over explained the show,
but some people like to know why I'm doing what
I'm doing, especially when it's different than I normally do.
Ashley Parker of the Atlantic was on MSNBC with Jim
(22:32):
Psaki to talk about her sit down interview with President Trump.
Pasaki wanted Ashley Parker of the Atlantic to disparage Donald Trump,
as they all do you know, we've got to keep
this narrative going.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
She said no. She said he's certainly.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Bad right now.
Speaker 15 (22:50):
I mean they have moved downward, even on issues that
he ran on, like cost of living, immigration, and he
wants to project strength and.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Joy or something.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's joy, just strength.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
This isn't an age old tactic in white houses, right
We're going to tell everybody everything's great, that's what he
kind of.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Said in the interview.
Speaker 15 (23:08):
He seemed to try to be attempting to project that
they're doing other interviews.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Why do you is that really his mental.
Speaker 15 (23:14):
Space or is this sort of a tactic from the
White House to just try to project that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So a couple of things.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
One thing about I think he is trying to project strength.
I think one reason he specifically brought us in at
The Atlantic and included for the second interview Jeff Goldberg,
the editor in chief, it was a little bit of
game respects game. He had said in a second Truth
social post that Signal Gate was somewhat successful. So Jeff
asked him, what did you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Did you mean that we revealed, you.
Speaker 15 (23:39):
Know, operational security flaws that the administration has now fixed.
And President Trump basically said, no, No, you were successful
essentially because you got publicity for your story and you
really owned.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That news cycle.
Speaker 15 (23:52):
And again that's another window in to the president. And
also when we were there, he was in People who
know him know this.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He has the capacidy.
Speaker 15 (23:59):
He was charming, he was charismatic, and his goal in
that moment was to win us in most specifically Jeff over.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
So that was the Michael Verry show The Place where
Wolke Goes to die.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Let's talk about the other bullet we dodged, Joe Biden
and his decline. We played this the other day, but
I want to play this again because.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This is important.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
This is Alex Thompson of Axios lecturing the media at
the White House Correspondence dinner for covering up Biden's lack
of mental acuity, and this needs to be done. We
have to call these people out and not let them
get away with what they did.
Speaker 16 (24:41):
The White House Corresponds Association is as necessary as ever.
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being true tellers
(25:02):
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
missed a lot of this story, and some people trust
us less because of it. We bear some responsibility for
faith in the media being at such lows.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I say this because.
Speaker 16 (25:28):
Acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about them further
erodes him.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We should have done better.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt was asked about those
comments at Alex Thompson made about Joe Biden's mental decline,
and I got to tell you, you know, everybody in
this administration has stepped up. Everybody has really really stepped up.
I didn't know how, I know how she was going
to do, but she has really risen to the occasion.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Is this is good stuff, Alex Thompson.
Speaker 17 (26:00):
Said at the White House Correspondent Center, And I'm going
to read his quote. President Biden's decline and it's cover
up by the people around him is a reminder that
every White House, regardless of the party, is capable of discession.
We myself included, miss a lot of this story, and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Some people trust us less because of it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Can you comment on those remarks and.
Speaker 14 (26:17):
Whether you agree with that assessment.
Speaker 18 (26:19):
I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who
I understand won an award for writing a story months
and perhaps years after the American people already knew that
story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally
and competent president struggle with his day to day duties
of this office. We watched our country be ran into
the ground as a result, and nobody in the media
(26:41):
wanted to write about that.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Talk about it.
Speaker 18 (26:43):
There were many many reporters, I will say, write leaning
reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards,
didn't get coverage. In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage.
And I remember being on President Trump's campaign talking about
Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused by people
in this room of manufacturing deep fake videos, trying to
(27:06):
persuade the public into not believing what they saw with
their own eyes for many years, and I think it's
about time the legacy media finally admits that was one
of the greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took
place in American history. And certainly it did contribute to
the decline and the trust that Americans have for the
legacy media here, which, by the way, is why we've
(27:26):
made many changes to this briefing room in this White House.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It's long overdue. That's smarmy little f Chuck Todd.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Every time I see Chuck Todd's name gives me a
fond memory thinking of Rush saying it and how much
fun he had just ridiculing the pretentiousness of Chuck Todd. Anyway,
he and Ashley Allison were discussing the media's role in
the cover up, and Chuck Todd doesn't take any responsibility.
He blames the Democrats. Well, I guess it's better blaming
(27:56):
the Republicans.
Speaker 19 (27:57):
You know, if Coca Cola had a bunch of people
no longer drinking Coca cola, you want to actually go
interview people who used to drink Coca cola and ask
them how come you're not drinking Coca cola anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't get the sense of that at all.
Speaker 19 (28:08):
There's there's there's still this idea, oh no, no, no, no,
if we just sell it better, if we just do
it better. And then on the last comment, it's just
kind of interesting. I do think what happened to the
Democratic Party is they kept comparing Biden to Trump rather
than Biden to what a president should be able to do.
And I think it was like, well, Trump's kind of
out there, and he's so it's so it's good enough
(28:29):
to go against Trump. Well no, like that doesn't shouldn't
have been the But I do think whatever that explanation is,
I think it all had to do with them judging
Biden through the prism of well, Trump's sort of out there,
so it's good.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Enough for that, Ash Alison, what do you think.
Speaker 20 (28:46):
Look in twenty twenty two after the mid terms, I said,
if you want to run for president and be the
Democratic nominee, anybody who wants to run should be able
to run. Unfortunately nobody will. A couple of people, but
Dean Phillips, right, Dean Phillips stepped up. Democrats, we should
have had a primary for this midterm election, and we didn't,
and so now we're living with the consequences of it.
(29:08):
I hope that our party wakes up and realizes it,
and that me saying that doesn't mean that I don't
respect Joe Biden, but there's a reality, and that we
should have given our voters an opportunity to make a
decision for themselves, and by the time we had to
make a decision, it was too late.
Speaker 19 (29:24):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set
of voters who felt like they had to say in.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
This hold up rough mahone, hold up a minute play
that last ten seconds or so. Again, I want to
make sure everybody hears this.
Speaker 19 (29:45):
By the way, it's just three straight nominations where Democratic
voters didn't get a chance to pick the nominee. The
elites picked Hillary Clinton, the elites pictor of Biden, and
the elites picked Kamala Harris. There was no actual set
of voters who felt like they had to say in this.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know, it's so fun to watch these guys.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
They've all lost their jobs and now they're doing podcasts
at home like it's the middle of COVID and it's
so sad and pitiful, and they're all trying to change reality.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Chuck Todd was on a podcast.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
With former CNN reporter Chris Solissa where he blamed right
wing virtue signalers. How come y'all are out there, and
I'm one of them, by the way, how come y'all
are out there saying that we were covering up for
Joe Biden's middle decline, covering up for your own middle decline.
There were one of these dudeses in therapy. They're all nuts,
they all have mental health problems. You ever notice that
(30:32):
everybody on the left is nuts and you know how
you know they're nuts because they talk about going to
their therapist all the time.
Speaker 19 (30:39):
This is not a media failure. This is a failure
of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the
virtue signaling that some people have done to try to
say that the media missed this story.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
They didn't miss this story. David Ignatius wrote.
Speaker 19 (30:53):
I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it's
a right wing manufactured, right wing premise in order to
stay in the media, the media has got plenty of
things to attack them for. And there are MSNBC and
CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water for Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But they're not journalists.
Speaker 19 (31:11):
They're a former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden.
The journalist David Ignatius wrote a very high profile column
in October of twenty three saying, is he really running again?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
This doesn't seem like a good idea.
Speaker 19 (31:23):
People like me were promoting Dean Phillips's campaign because he.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Was running set So you know, it's not like this.
Speaker 19 (31:34):
This isn't WMDs, where the White House worked with the
mainstream media to manufacture a story that did not exist,
that was a press failure, massive press failure.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
This was not that failure.
Speaker 19 (31:49):
This is an attempt by some to virtue signal, and
it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against
each other, when ultimately the people at fall are Chuck Schumer,
Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, every elected
member of Congress.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Solzie says that journalists weren't covering up for Biden, but
rather their bias had them trusting the Biden White House.
Why would you have a bias in favor of the Democrats?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh, I have.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
We weren't covering up. We were just biased because we
trusted them. It's their fault because we trusted them. They
should not have abused our trust. We just trusted them.
That's our fault. Yeah, do you hear yourself?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Why didn't you ask more questions? And I will This
is I'm not speaking for all of the media, because
all the media is a fast thing. But here's what
I would say. Any study that you ever.
Speaker 21 (32:45):
See about who reporters vote for, they vote for Democrats
much more than Republicans. And I think what was going
on here is is I think it was an inherent
and sort of unconscious bias more than a conscious bias.
But I think the reporters covering this White House were
two willing to take the Biden teams word for you,
