Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We are talking with Hollywood after and filmmaker Nick Sercy.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
International film and TV star Nick Searcy, Nick Sercy.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Nick Sercy, Hi, it's Nick Sercy, mister reason. Yes, you
didn't believe I was giving myself up. Hell, no one did.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
But I also didn't believe all that Blaze of Glory book.
Found all those flight simulators on your computer, and I
remembered that used on a plane back in the day.
I figured you were refamiliar eyes. I wouldn't do that
unless you're rethinking that Blaze of glory.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Nick Sercy has been in so many movies that you
have watched and loved that you would not believe it.
Most people know his name now, I mean the man
has guest hosted for Rush Limball when Rush was still alive.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's a pretty darn.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
High honor a guy that's not even a radio talk
show host. He's been a theater actor. He has his
own acting school. You have to go to YouTube to
get that joke. It's good. But mostly he's a phenomenal
actor at the craft of acting. But more importantly, he's
a patriot who couldn't sit by and watch what was
(01:20):
happening in this country without speaking out, even though he
was threatened that it would hurt his career. Did it
hurt his career? No, Because he's bigger than Hollywood. People
want him now more than ever. He taunts, He heckles
those who say, you'll never be in another movie, and
yet he is again and again and again because he's
damn good at what he does. Proud to call him
(01:41):
my friend, Nick Sercy, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Sir, Hey Michael, glad to be here with you. Are
you on a speakerphone?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I'm trying not to be. I'm hoping he's close to
my mouth as I can. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ramon said, hey, Nick Sercy's ready for you. You'll have
to tell him to get off his speakerphone, because I
couldn't tell him because he's Nick Cercy's wait, what Nick,
Sirsey's too big for you to tell him to get
off a speakerphone.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What have we come to? He's not really it justified
just a movie. You understand that, right. How are you doing?
First of all? How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
How?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I'm doing really well. I'm busy. I'm loving my new place.
I moved to the middle of the country where people
have common sense.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Tennessee, right, and.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Partially Tennessee and sometimes Kentucky. I have a couple of
places here that I go back and forth here.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And you're originally from North Carolina, if I remember.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Correctly, right western North Carolina. So we're closer to my
white family. We're closer to my family. It's it's like
game home.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You're closer to God. You're in Tennessee, you're closer to God.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I went to California for thirty years.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I did my time, and now I'm out. I was with.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The Tucker Carlson event was in Houston recently, and I
was with the a production crew with it that was
making the film about it. And one of the guys
was they had eaten at one of our best tex
Mex restaurants here in town, Gringos, earlier in the day,
and he was saying that he wasn't he wasn't going
to eat again because they had had to get to
(03:16):
the set and set up for the whole production and
all that. And he said, I'll probably have an in
and out Burger because it was right next to an
in and out burg. I probably have an in and
out Burger at three o'clock tomorrow morning when God's not watching.
And I thought that's a great line. When God's not
that's funny. First of all, let's talk about the film.
(03:37):
We talked to Denesh Desusa earlier vindicating Trump. Why were
you involved and what are your thoughts on the film?
What are people going to see in the film, what's
going to be the reaction?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well, I think the film is pretty prescient. I mean
we got this got this film back in March or
no in May of this year. And you know, my character,
the person I play, is like of behind the scenes,
sort of Sengali that's kind of orchestrating the Deep States
campaign against Trump. And really we were kind of ahead
(04:11):
of the curve and sort of predicting that they would
try to assassinate him. And it's pretty chilling to watch
it now, knowing what I know now and thinking back
to when we got it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The movie is very very disturbing. Talk about that. Why
is it disturbing?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
In it?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You're telling a story, but you also know that this
is all a true story.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Right, Well, you've seen it and we've seen it in
the past few weeks. You know, the President Trump is
literally the target of an entire government and the government.
The media is on the government side. Everything is poised
to keep him out of office for one reason, and
(04:56):
that is to protect the corruption that the government has
been solved that all of the deep staters are benefiting from.
And if Corump gets in there, their whole game is up.
And that's why they have to take him out like
any means necessary. That's why they tried the law there.
That's why they tried to bankrupt him. They tried every
(05:17):
possible way to make him just throve up his hand
and quit, including now taking shots at him. And they can't.
They can't do it. They can't make they can't break
his resolve. So the only other option they have is
what they've been trying labor.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
How do you convey that in a film? How do
you in your mind as you prepared for that. You
you are not just a guy that was a pretty
face and got you know, slept with Harvey Weinstein and
ended up on screen.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You are this is your craft.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
As you got your mind well, well you do have
a pretty fast but when you got your mind ready
to do this, I know how you are you're serious
about this. This is truly a craft. You what did
you want? What did you want to accomplish?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Well, you know, I've played you know, the joke I
always tell is, I've played all kinds of horrible people.
I've played a lot of Democrats. But the thing that's
interesting about playing someone who's evil is that, of course
they don't think they're evil. They think they're doing the
right thing. And so in order to get into the
(06:25):
mindset of a deep state operative whose entire fortune and
career is at state, if Trump gets in, I think
I'm doing the right thing, a boy trying to take
him out, And that is the mindset of you know,
a lot of the people that we portray in the film,
(06:47):
and what Denss did rather well is combined you know,
real interviews with Donald Trump and other people, other campaign
people about what he's been through, and this sort of
dramatization of what must be going on behind the scenes
with all the coordinated efforts to take Trump out, with
(07:10):
all setting up the lawfare cases, you know, messing with
the vote, messing with the polls, telling the media what
to say, all that, and so since criminals, the criminals
that do this kind of thing are good at hiding
their tracks. We had to dramatize it, you know, to
make it, to make it look like it probably looks
(07:34):
from the inside. So the combination of a dramatic a
dramatic narrative with the actual interviews with Trump and other
real people, I think make for a very code mix.
And really it's a remarkable film. I've seen it. It's
one of vanessa best for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know, you not had this conversation number of times.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The power of film, you know, from little things like
when you know, when a dog is featured in a movie,
the AKC will tell you that. You know, for the
next year, that dog, which might have been the twenty
most purchased breed in the country, goes to number one,
you know, just overnight and stays there. And another dog
in another movie. People are affected by film. I mean
(08:27):
it gets in every sinew It causes people to change behaviors,
to change, you know, I'm hopeful this can make a change.
Hold one moment. Nick Cercy actor extraordinariy, he's in the
new movie vindicating Trump our conversation with him.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Wouldn't the world be a better place if every grown
ass man and lesbian woman pop the top on the
drive home.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You bet it would. It's the Friday Drive Home. On
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Nix Ursuly as our guest. He's my friend. He's a
fantastic actor. Some of you will remember who's been around
the show for a while. He was once filming a movie.
I believe it was in Canada, but it was a
scene out on out kind of in an abandoned area,
and he was in a car and they were filming
from a distance, and he took my call in the
(09:23):
car and put the phone down on the console beside
him and did the interview.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
While the scene was going on.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And they were coming up to him to film in it,
and he's still talking to us and trying not It
was a lot of fun, a lot of you got
a real kick out of that. He was in Fried
Green Tomatoes, he was in was it three Billboards? Outside
of Ebbing. I discovered him, or at least who he
was by name, in Justified, which one of my favorite
(09:50):
TV shows of all time. He's been in more movies
than you can possibly imagine. If you look him up
on IMDb, you'll go.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh that guy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes, of course he's fantastic in a new movie that
hit studios today called Vindicating Trump by Danish Desuza, who
we just spoke to a few moments ago. Nick, there
has been a whole series of sort of advocacy movies
that have been coming out, and I would even put
(10:18):
Dennis Quaid's Reagan in that that. I think this is
a good trend and I give to Nesh a lot
of credit for that. You know, when he was at
twenty twelve, he did the first one he did, and
we were involved with promoting that. I think that really
told the money guys, hey there's an audience for this.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You might not have to put some product on the market, right.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yes, And I think he created this niche or at
least sort of led the way a lot of people
have been making films, you know, for our side. So
the thing ever since the nation in that, and he's
really changed the landscape. The problem that I see to
some of these films is that you can't get the
(11:04):
other side to watch them. You were talking before about
how powerful film is. We'll see them Left knows that
they know how powerful film is, so they try very
hard to make sure that you don't hear about movies
like Vindicating Trump or that if you do hear about them,
all you hear is that they're bad. You know, they
did this to Reagan when Reagan came out. The audience
(11:27):
ratings for Reagan are in the ninety eight percentile, and
the critics it's below twenty percent because they have to
make they have to try to make you not see
the film because they know how powerful it is.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Right, But you also, I think that you know the
jig is up because I think people now realize I
don't consume films the same way critics do anyway, don't.
I don't like what they like. I don't eat at
the same restaurants they do. I don't live the way
they do. I don't live the places that they do.
(12:01):
I don't live the life stile and they don't live
like me. Right, they don't go to little league ball
ball games. You know, I remember you and I had
some tough conversations. You were at a different point that
I'm now at when Omar, your son was playing his
senior year of high school, and then you were just
I mean you you were a puddle when when he graduated,
and I remember a tweet you put up and I
(12:22):
called you afterwards because I felt your paint, and you said,
I'm gonna miss watching you play basketball because it's what
I've done. That's it's you know, it's a it's as
a father getting to watch you do these things. And
so Michael t is, you know, just graduating. He's off
at ut now, and Crocketts a junior. You know, these
move these movie critics and these types of people, these
TV people, they don't live lives like we do. We're
(12:45):
we're people that are weird to them, and they don't
share our values, and therefore they don't appreciate movies or
politics in the same way us as we do.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Right, that's right, and and our way of life scares them.
You know, they think we're crazy.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
You know, people who believe in God and you know,
wave the American flag and you know, and they look
down on us because they're afraid that our lifestyle will
take over theirs, that somehow us being happy and free
in the middle of the country is somehow going to
destroy their lives in the city.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
So, you know, pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You know what, Nick, you have had a pretty varied life,
coming from a pretty wholesome upbringing in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And then being a Hollywood star.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
In Los Angeles and kind of getting to see all
the different sides of the country and ways that the
country operates. So what it makes me think, Nick, going
back to COVID and you and I talked during this
time about things like this. It wasn't just that people
rush to get the shot in every boots as fast
(14:00):
as they could, some of them dying as a result
of it, which was ironic, the kind of people who
were wishing death upon us, and they died because of
the thing they took to desperately avoid dying. We don't
fear dying because we have a clean conscience. They're so
afraid of dying because I think they're afraid of where
they're going.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
To end up.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But they couldn't just get the shot that was going
to protect them. You know, this was the shield for everything.
The shot was going to protect them for everything. But
they insisted that you take the shot. Well, why do
I need to take the shot? You have the shot
now and it's going to protect you from everything. I
am determined that miserable people desire that everyone be miserable,
and nothing is more offensive to them than that other
(14:38):
people be pure and happy and innocent and content, and
that makes them angry.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yeah, well, that's why they hate Trump. That's why they
hate him so bad.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's part of it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
They have a visceral reaction to the fact that you
can look at the guy and tell that he's that
he's happy, he's laughing, he's having fun, he's joking with people.
He's smart, he knows what's going on. He's a successful businessman.
He has a beautiful family. And they hate that. They're
(15:14):
just It makes them bitter inside and they can't stand it.
Happiness is like kryptonized to the left. The movie they
want equally miserable. The movie is Vindicating Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Nick Sercy is one of the actors in the movie.
It's a Dineche Desuza film and is available at theaters.
I believe it's online. You can find it most everywhere.
It's called Vindicating Trump and it is out as of today.
My dear friend, Nick Serci, it's always a pleasure to
catch up with you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Let me know when you're in Houston.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Next anytime, Michael, I hope to see you again soon.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Let me close real quick with the trailer for that film,
and then you find it you go see it and
take somebody who's not sure how to vote, take them
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Somebody has to help this country, and if they don't,
the country and the world are in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Someone's got to overturn the tables in the temple Trump
jumping into the presidential race. She's a bit worried of
the apprentice guy. You let us feel in the power?
Could you handle them? And good at the valor.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Power?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They fear that power. You didn't do an insurrection. Had
you called for one, there would have been one, and
there would be one if you called for one. Now
I'm not sure I want that power. I want the
power just to.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Make the country better, America.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
First, and that scares them a lot about Donald Trump
scares them.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Let's look at everything campaign is family.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Let's get foreign eyes on him. We have one target,
you know who. He is going after their companies, their families.
That is a dictator as a very dangerous time for
a country.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
The goal is to put them in jail because they're
so afraid of his voice. I am.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Very I'm so deep and legal bankrupt broke got him
in jail right before the election.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's hard for being that guy but isn't that election interference?
It's not interference if we do it. We just want
a free and fair election. Sounds expensive. Ballots ain't cheap?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Wait wait wait, did you actually say the word buy
the ballots? We were able to purchase ten thousand ballots.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That's terrifying. They cheated in many different ways. That's all
they're good at. Ready to save democracy.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We need to stop him permanently, and that person will
be risking his life too.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That is not the succeeds, right, it's the way you survived.
Must getting me a.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Trump has beaten back to every attack against him.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
We're going to fix our borders and we're going to
fix our elections.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
We're going to win. It's my legacy, said kidding Trump.
The best is yet to come. Baby. This is a
stir of success. Brought up in Arne, Texas. Broke ass
whole scholarship his.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Way to two law degrees, including one from her Majesty
Quinny elected three or four times, a lawyer, a husband,
a father, but most of all are higna ass asking
your seat there, pop your coat when they.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Get ready for more of them.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Mister Michaelbeer.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A CNN, we'll call him a reporter. That's not what
they do. They're advocates, they're activists. A CNN activists caught
up with a Trump supporter out at the lake and
she asked him what his biggest issue was in his election.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
What's your most important issue is the economy?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Getting the intertrace down, getting it what we can afford
to live in America right now?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's too expensive for it.
Speaker 11 (19:01):
Okay, now, let me maybe ask it like a slightly
imp that question. But you know, if you could afford
a vote, you're not hurting so bad, right because.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
The boat costs a lot of money and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
There's a lot of upkeep. Nobody gave me. I earned
everything that I've got.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
I'm retired military, retired power plant and I am successful
and retired with boats jet skis because I did it right.
And everybody has that chance, whether they choose or not,
that's up to them.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
I would never try to take anything away from you
in that way. But what I'm asking is groceries are
probably a smaller part of your budget than say, you
know someone who's like a.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Little worse off.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
I'd think it's interesting that people who are a little
bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Just you see what i'mcause, I.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Want my money to go further. I want inflation to
go down. I want to interest you to go back down.
I want all that. But that covers everybody in the economy,
not just me, not just a poor, not just a ranchy.
That covers everybody.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
That's something I've heard from Some people tell me if
this applies to use, like they're worried their kids aren't
able to.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
For at a house clo.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
I trained my kids and taught my kids properly. They
have great educations and they're most successful in their careers.
Actually they're going better than me.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Do they ask Taylor Swift that question? Because how much
to groceries affect her? This is the politics of the
third world what she just did right there. The idea
that why are you complaining you're rich, you have a boat,
unless you're starving, you can't complain. Politics is for the starving,
and that's how Democrats get rich.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Everybody else is poor, they're rich.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called out Kamala Harris's forty two
billion dollar broadband initiative for not connecting a single person
to the world wide web.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
This is why we have inflation.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
These people raise taxes, they spend billions of dollars on
these big promises that never deliver, and as a result,
you have inflation.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I've had the privilege of serving as a commissioner on
the FCC for over seven years now. Before that, I
served as the agency's General Uncil After first joining the
SEC as a staffer back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
My primary focus has.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Been ensuring that every American has a fair shop at
next generation connectivity. In my view, there's no better way
to do a job in Washington than to get outside
the Beltway and see firsthand that challenges ahead. That's why
I spent time in nearly every state over the past
few years, meeting with broadband builders, local leaders, and community
(21:26):
members alike. Along the way, I've stood on top of
two thousand foot broadcast tower with Tower Cruise. I've been
a mile below ground to see a fiber build connecting
an underground research lab. I've visited with Cruise stringing fiber
along the Arctic Ocean in Utkiyadvik, Alaska, America's northernmost point.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And I've been on the Gulf Coast with teams.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
As they restored service after hurricanes in Florida. In every community,
I've heard about the opportunity that comes with a high
speed connection, and that's why I was pleased when a
bipartisan consensus emerged to provide the support necessary to end
the digital divide. So the most significant of those efforts
is a forty two billion dollar initiative known as BID.
(22:11):
But unfortunately, BID is a program that has gone off
the rails.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Here's how.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
In twenty twenty one, Vice President Harris agreed to lead
the administration's signature forty two billion dollar effort to extend
internet service to millions of Americans. It's now been one thousand,
thirty nine days since that program was enacted. After all
(22:40):
of that time, not one person has been connected to
the Internet, not one home, not one business, not even
one shovel worth of dirt has been turned.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And it gets worse.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No infrastructure builds will even start until sometime next year
at the earliest, and in many cases not until twenty
twenty six. This makes Vice President Harris's forty two billion
dollar initiative the slowest moving federal broadend deployment program in
recent history. With Vice President Harris at the helm Politico
(23:15):
recently reported on the quote frustration in finger pointing that
defined the program's quote MESSI delayed rollout one state broad
beneficial described quote a chaotic implementation environment dysfunction delays. She
added that the administration quote has provided either no guidance,
(23:37):
guidance given too late, or guidance changing mid stream. The administration,
she said, is slowing states down. So what has the
administration been doing over the last one thousand, thirty nine days.
Instead of connecting Americans, it's been advancing a wish list
(23:59):
of progress massive policy goals.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The forty two.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Billion dollar program, led by Vice President Harris, is being
used to push a climate change agenda, DEI requirements, price controls,
preferences for government run networks, and rules that will lead
to wasteful overbuilding. All of this will leave rural communities behind. Frankly,
it would not be the only time the Biden Harris
(24:24):
administration has left rural America behind. In twenty twenty, the
sec Security commitment from Starlink to provide internet to six
hundred and forty thousand homes in businesses for about thirteen
hundred dollars per location in federal support, but the government
revoked that award last year after President Biden gave agencies
(24:48):
the green light.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
To go after Musk.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
The administration is now spending dollars on the penny to
connect locations through its own initiatives. Senator A Cruise release
a report identifying entire projects where the administration is now
spending over one hundred thousand dollars per location for Internet.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So here's the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Absent major reforms, Vice President Harris's forty two billion dollar
program is wired to fail. It's time to correct course,
get rid of all the extraneous political goals, and focus
on quickly connecting American.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's another work week in the books. Getting you geared
up for the weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
It's the Friday drive home on the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well, that means our time together is coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure to enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Of course, we post podcasts on the weekend. I get
to hear from many of you by email when you
have a moment this weekend. Just take a moment, don't
write an don't go does to escue on me, But
just where you listen and what you do. Some little
thing about you if you were the guy out in
front of the tank at Tenement Square. You know, tell
(26:09):
me that while are you there, send me an email.
What station you listen on, where you listen, what time
you listen, Things you like? Things you don't get right
to the point, because I read a lot of emails,
but I do enjoy reading them. It really helps me
fashion a show understanding you know. I saw an interview
that Rush gave less than a year after he went national.
(26:31):
It's the first to really do it the way he did.
And they said, how different is it for you now
that you have such a big audience, And he said, honestly,
I sit in a studio and I look through the
glass at my producers, and that never changed. The difference
is now the President's listening, and I feel the same.
(26:52):
But what I love is hearing from you. How does
the show affect you? What are you going through? People
will share with me? And lost for my mom this
week just felt like I love that. I love the
idea that I'm right there in the truck with you.
I'm right there in your suburban with you. I'm right
there in your car with you, riding along for a
lot of you out there on your tractor with you.
(27:12):
I love that connection, and I do the show with
that in mind, and I think that's one of the
things that makes our show are a little different. I
told you that I'm hopeful, and I'm going to close
on something that we've held all week because this kind
of stuff gives me hope.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
This is a good sign.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The Daily Mail sat down with seven undecided black voters
in Georgia to see who they're leaning forward to, Communist
Kamala Harris or President Trump.
Speaker 12 (27:33):
And you're gonna like this, hand up if you think
is better on the Trump and hands on if you
think they's better on the bid than Herrits.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, it's seven ones. That's pretty pretty clear the truth.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
I'm not saying he's like, of course, yeah, Like I
did say he has best.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He still has a business mindset.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
I think that linked in somewhat and I think yes
to trickle down whatever previous stuff, not that he just
handled certain things a little better.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
Does Trump come let us he providing more jobs, more
opportunities and simulars even though he didn't have any experience
of politics.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But he came in and did a much better job.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
And you look at the statistics now, so far more
words now than the work before.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
Firstly, I just lost the general question about Horris going
to show back, well, shigus hesitation about waiting to come
of Harris.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
Is she going to be able to do the things
that she says she's going to be able to do?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That's you know what I mean, is gonna be able
to do it? That's my big exervisation. Is she gonna
be able to get it past comment greens? You know
what I'm saying. I don't know, you know, calibulated everything
that glitters ain't going.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Very It looks great on paper, but I'm not sure
going to translate to policies and if she'll even be
able to get it past.
Speaker 15 (28:47):
My thing is his strength, and that's my focus for her,
you know. And she's gonna be able to take a
points and give one the two bests, you know, that's
my biggest thing. And it has nothing to do with
her gender. Ladies, Okay, but you had we're talking about
the highest office in their ends.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, yell Obama, I would.
Speaker 12 (29:11):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You can't be weak and hold that.
Speaker 14 (29:13):
Yeah, like people heard next to Michelle Obama, it's like
or Hillary Rank orgular Clinton. It's like there's no compares
and all the strength, and I think Michelle Obama couldn't
wear up again.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
He did what they would eat her.
Speaker 12 (29:26):
How did you Harris some across them? How did she
do up against him? Hayrid says that you know, big personality.
How did she do? How did she come across?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
She kept saying that she's a warrior, She's gonna fight. Bro.
I don't know if you were strong. I mean, I
get it what you feel, but I don't think you could.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
You are as like a warrior like fire like she is.
That's just in my opinion, not that I don't think
she doesn't care. And like I said, she used a
lot of appealing to emotion like uh, anecdotal likes or
like yeah, anecdotal eminence instead of like you know, she
does some facts, but just like to like appeal to people. Hey,
you know, I'm just like you know, so trying to
(30:02):
get people on her side.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I don't think the bar was set pretty high when
it comes to that what comes to her speaking. I
believe the last one, the last debate with Biden said
it really low. So I believe she did a lot
better than Biden. So that's that's pretty much like they're
both old and old.
Speaker 15 (30:16):
Tramp was old and we need to get some young
folks in there that knows, you know, having ideas of
what she wanted.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now that's money. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
It was several times where he kept like referring to
her his day, like he almost didn't even addresce her,
Like he kept saying it she say her.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Name at all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I mean, that's your boss, that's your boss, Like I'm
just doing what bid.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Yeah, it does make you wonder, right because it's kind
of like he's saying stuff like y'all just ousted him,
and I'm like, this is not what happened.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But in the back of my mind, I'm like, what
if it is? What has now she's figure it, you know.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
So it's difficult to jump on board one hundred percent
because you do kind of like you've seen it. We've
lived through now, you know, multiple elections that we've seen
how they turned out. So as a person, I do
think she's a better person than he is overall character wise,
and that's why you know, more people I think are
leaning towards her. I don't know, if that one has
to present me, she'll do a better job in the
office in front.
Speaker 12 (31:05):
Of harris est debate, and from what you've seen so far,
pick your hand up. If you think she's strong enough,
keep your hand down. If you've got doubt whether she's
strong enough, so pick your hand up. If you think
Harris is strong enough.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yes, I think she's strong enough. Yeah, just like enough.
Speaker 15 (31:22):
Yeah, Future you look blood come by. I don't know,
I didn't see it, but when you had to face
the other leaders from the other countries, you know what.
You got to tay up what it kicks to stand
there and throw punches like they throw.
Speaker 12 (31:38):
Yeah, I'm hearing more that scene from those Yeah
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Thank you and good night.
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We are talking with Hollywood after and filmmaker Nick Sercy.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
International film and TV star Nick Searcy, Nick Sercy.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Nick Sercy, Hi, it's Nick Sercy, mister reason. Yes, you
didn't believe I was giving myself up. Hell, no one did.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
But I also didn't believe all that Blaze of Glory book.
Found all those flight simulators on your computer, and I
remembered that used on a plane back in the day.
I figured you were refamiliar eyes. I wouldn't do that
unless you're rethinking that Blaze of glory.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Nick Sercy has been in so many movies that you
have watched and loved that you would not believe it.
Most people know his name now, I mean the man
has guest hosted for Rush Limball when Rush was still alive.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That's a pretty darn.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
High honor a guy that's not even a radio talk
show host. He's been a theater actor. He has his
own acting school. You have to go to YouTube to
get that joke. It's good. But mostly he's a phenomenal
actor at the craft of acting. But more importantly, he's
a patriot who couldn't sit by and watch what was
(01:20):
happening in this country without speaking out, even though he
was threatened that it would hurt his career. Did it
hurt his career? No, Because he's bigger than Hollywood. People
want him now more than ever. He taunts, He heckles
those who say, you'll never be in another movie, and
yet he is again and again and again because he's
damn good at what he does. Proud to call him
(01:41):
my friend, Nick Sercy, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Sir, Hey Michael, glad to be here with you. Are
you on a speakerphone?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I'm trying not to be. I'm hoping he's close to
my mouth as I can. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ramon said, hey, Nick Sercy's ready for you. You'll have
to tell him to get off his speakerphone, because I
couldn't tell him because he's Nick Cercy's wait, what Nick,
Sirsey's too big for you to tell him to get
off a speakerphone.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What have we come to? He's not really it justified
just a movie. You understand that, right. How are you doing?
First of all? How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
How?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I'm doing really well. I'm busy. I'm loving my new place.
I moved to the middle of the country where people
have common sense.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Tennessee, right, and.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Partially Tennessee and sometimes Kentucky. I have a couple of
places here that I go back and forth here.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And you're originally from North Carolina, if I remember.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Correctly, right western North Carolina. So we're closer to my
white family. We're closer to my family. It's it's like
game home.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You're closer to God. You're in Tennessee, you're closer to God.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I went to California for thirty years.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I did my time, and now I'm out. I was with.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The Tucker Carlson event was in Houston recently, and I
was with the a production crew with it that was
making the film about it. And one of the guys
was they had eaten at one of our best tex
Mex restaurants here in town, Gringos, earlier in the day,
and he was saying that he wasn't he wasn't going
to eat again because they had had to get to
(03:16):
the set and set up for the whole production and
all that. And he said, I'll probably have an in
and out Burger because it was right next to an
in and out burg. I probably have an in and
out Burger at three o'clock tomorrow morning when God's not watching.
And I thought that's a great line. When God's not
that's funny. First of all, let's talk about the film.
(03:37):
We talked to Denesh Desusa earlier vindicating Trump. Why were
you involved and what are your thoughts on the film?
What are people going to see in the film, what's
going to be the reaction?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well, I think the film is pretty prescient. I mean
we got this got this film back in March or
no in May of this year. And you know, my character,
the person I play, is like of behind the scenes,
sort of Sengali that's kind of orchestrating the Deep States
campaign against Trump. And really we were kind of ahead
(04:11):
of the curve and sort of predicting that they would
try to assassinate him. And it's pretty chilling to watch
it now, knowing what I know now and thinking back
to when we got it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The movie is very very disturbing. Talk about that. Why
is it disturbing?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
In it?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You're telling a story, but you also know that this
is all a true story.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Right, Well, you've seen it and we've seen it in
the past few weeks. You know, the President Trump is
literally the target of an entire government and the government.
The media is on the government side. Everything is poised
to keep him out of office for one reason, and
(04:56):
that is to protect the corruption that the government has
been solved that all of the deep staters are benefiting from.
And if Corump gets in there, their whole game is up.
And that's why they have to take him out like
any means necessary. That's why they tried the law there.
That's why they tried to bankrupt him. They tried every
(05:17):
possible way to make him just throve up his hand
and quit, including now taking shots at him. And they can't.
They can't do it. They can't make they can't break
his resolve. So the only other option they have is
what they've been trying labor.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
How do you convey that in a film? How do
you in your mind as you prepared for that. You
you are not just a guy that was a pretty
face and got you know, slept with Harvey Weinstein and
ended up on screen.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You are this is your craft.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
As you got your mind well, well you do have
a pretty fast but when you got your mind ready
to do this, I know how you are you're serious
about this. This is truly a craft. You what did
you want? What did you want to accomplish?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Well, you know, I've played you know, the joke I
always tell is, I've played all kinds of horrible people.
I've played a lot of Democrats. But the thing that's
interesting about playing someone who's evil is that, of course
they don't think they're evil. They think they're doing the
right thing. And so in order to get into the
(06:25):
mindset of a deep state operative whose entire fortune and
career is at state, if Trump gets in, I think
I'm doing the right thing, a boy trying to take
him out, And that is the mindset of you know,
a lot of the people that we portray in the film,
(06:47):
and what Denss did rather well is combined you know,
real interviews with Donald Trump and other people, other campaign
people about what he's been through, and this sort of
dramatization of what must be going on behind the scenes
with all the coordinated efforts to take Trump out, with
(07:10):
all setting up the lawfare cases, you know, messing with
the vote, messing with the polls, telling the media what
to say, all that, and so since criminals, the criminals
that do this kind of thing are good at hiding
their tracks. We had to dramatize it, you know, to
make it, to make it look like it probably looks
(07:34):
from the inside. So the combination of a dramatic a
dramatic narrative with the actual interviews with Trump and other
real people, I think make for a very code mix.
And really it's a remarkable film. I've seen it. It's
one of vanessa best for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know, you not had this conversation number of times.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The power of film, you know, from little things like
when you know, when a dog is featured in a movie,
the AKC will tell you that. You know, for the
next year, that dog, which might have been the twenty
most purchased breed in the country, goes to number one,
you know, just overnight and stays there. And another dog
in another movie. People are affected by film. I mean
(08:27):
it gets in every sinew It causes people to change behaviors,
to change, you know, I'm hopeful this can make a change.
Hold one moment. Nick Cercy actor extraordinariy, he's in the
new movie vindicating Trump our conversation with him.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Wouldn't the world be a better place if every grown
ass man and lesbian woman pop the top on the
drive home.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You bet it would. It's the Friday Drive Home. On
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Nix Ursuly as our guest. He's my friend. He's a
fantastic actor. Some of you will remember who's been around
the show for a while. He was once filming a movie.
I believe it was in Canada, but it was a
scene out on out kind of in an abandoned area,
and he was in a car and they were filming
from a distance, and he took my call in the
(09:23):
car and put the phone down on the console beside
him and did the interview.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
While the scene was going on.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And they were coming up to him to film in it,
and he's still talking to us and trying not It
was a lot of fun, a lot of you got
a real kick out of that. He was in Fried
Green Tomatoes, he was in was it three Billboards? Outside
of Ebbing. I discovered him, or at least who he
was by name, in Justified, which one of my favorite
(09:50):
TV shows of all time. He's been in more movies
than you can possibly imagine. If you look him up
on IMDb, you'll go.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh that guy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes, of course he's fantastic in a new movie that
hit studios today called Vindicating Trump by Danish Desuza, who
we just spoke to a few moments ago. Nick, there
has been a whole series of sort of advocacy movies
that have been coming out, and I would even put
(10:18):
Dennis Quaid's Reagan in that that. I think this is
a good trend and I give to Nesh a lot
of credit for that. You know, when he was at
twenty twelve, he did the first one he did, and
we were involved with promoting that. I think that really
told the money guys, hey there's an audience for this.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You might not have to put some product on the market, right.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yes, And I think he created this niche or at
least sort of led the way a lot of people
have been making films, you know, for our side. So
the thing ever since the nation in that, and he's
really changed the landscape. The problem that I see to
some of these films is that you can't get the
(11:04):
other side to watch them. You were talking before about
how powerful film is. We'll see them Left knows that
they know how powerful film is, so they try very
hard to make sure that you don't hear about movies
like Vindicating Trump or that if you do hear about them,
all you hear is that they're bad. You know, they
did this to Reagan when Reagan came out. The audience
(11:27):
ratings for Reagan are in the ninety eight percentile, and
the critics it's below twenty percent because they have to
make they have to try to make you not see
the film because they know how powerful it is.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Right, But you also, I think that you know the
jig is up because I think people now realize I
don't consume films the same way critics do anyway, don't.
I don't like what they like. I don't eat at
the same restaurants they do. I don't live the way
they do. I don't live the places that they do.
(12:01):
I don't live the life stile and they don't live
like me. Right, they don't go to little league ball
ball games. You know, I remember you and I had
some tough conversations. You were at a different point that
I'm now at when Omar, your son was playing his
senior year of high school, and then you were just
I mean you you were a puddle when when he graduated,
and I remember a tweet you put up and I
(12:22):
called you afterwards because I felt your paint, and you said,
I'm gonna miss watching you play basketball because it's what
I've done. That's it's you know, it's a it's as
a father getting to watch you do these things. And
so Michael t is, you know, just graduating. He's off
at ut now, and Crocketts a junior. You know, these
move these movie critics and these types of people, these
TV people, they don't live lives like we do. We're
(12:45):
we're people that are weird to them, and they don't
share our values, and therefore they don't appreciate movies or
politics in the same way us as we do.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Right, that's right, and and our way of life scares them.
You know, they think we're crazy.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
You know, people who believe in God and you know,
wave the American flag and you know, and they look
down on us because they're afraid that our lifestyle will
take over theirs, that somehow us being happy and free
in the middle of the country is somehow going to
destroy their lives in the city.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
So, you know, pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You know what, Nick, you have had a pretty varied life,
coming from a pretty wholesome upbringing in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And then being a Hollywood star.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
In Los Angeles and kind of getting to see all
the different sides of the country and ways that the
country operates. So what it makes me think, Nick, going
back to COVID and you and I talked during this
time about things like this. It wasn't just that people
rush to get the shot in every boots as fast
(14:00):
as they could, some of them dying as a result
of it, which was ironic, the kind of people who
were wishing death upon us, and they died because of
the thing they took to desperately avoid dying. We don't
fear dying because we have a clean conscience. They're so
afraid of dying because I think they're afraid of where
they're going.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
To end up.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But they couldn't just get the shot that was going
to protect them. You know, this was the shield for everything.
The shot was going to protect them for everything. But
they insisted that you take the shot. Well, why do
I need to take the shot? You have the shot
now and it's going to protect you from everything. I
am determined that miserable people desire that everyone be miserable,
and nothing is more offensive to them than that other
(14:38):
people be pure and happy and innocent and content, and
that makes them angry.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yeah, well, that's why they hate Trump. That's why they
hate him so bad.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's part of it.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
They have a visceral reaction to the fact that you
can look at the guy and tell that he's that
he's happy, he's laughing, he's having fun, he's joking with people.
He's smart, he knows what's going on. He's a successful businessman.
He has a beautiful family. And they hate that. They're
(15:14):
just It makes them bitter inside and they can't stand it.
Happiness is like kryptonized to the left. The movie they
want equally miserable. The movie is Vindicating Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Nick Sercy is one of the actors in the movie.
It's a Dineche Desuza film and is available at theaters.
I believe it's online. You can find it most everywhere.
It's called Vindicating Trump and it is out as of today.
My dear friend, Nick Serci, it's always a pleasure to
catch up with you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Let me know when you're in Houston.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Next anytime, Michael, I hope to see you again soon.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Let me close real quick with the trailer for that film,
and then you find it you go see it and
take somebody who's not sure how to vote, take them
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Somebody has to help this country, and if they don't,
the country and the world are in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Someone's got to overturn the tables in the temple Trump
jumping into the presidential race. She's a bit worried of
the apprentice guy. You let us feel in the power?
Could you handle them? And good at the valor.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Power?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They fear that power. You didn't do an insurrection. Had
you called for one, there would have been one, and
there would be one if you called for one. Now
I'm not sure I want that power. I want the
power just to.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Make the country better, America.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
First, and that scares them a lot about Donald Trump
scares them.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Let's look at everything campaign is family.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Let's get foreign eyes on him. We have one target,
you know who. He is going after their companies, their families.
That is a dictator as a very dangerous time for
a country.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
The goal is to put them in jail because they're
so afraid of his voice. I am.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Very I'm so deep and legal bankrupt broke got him
in jail right before the election.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That's hard for being that guy but isn't that election interference?
It's not interference if we do it. We just want
a free and fair election. Sounds expensive. Ballots ain't cheap?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Wait wait wait, did you actually say the word buy
the ballots? We were able to purchase ten thousand ballots.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That's terrifying. They cheated in many different ways. That's all
they're good at. Ready to save democracy.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We need to stop him permanently, and that person will
be risking his life too.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That is not the succeeds, right, it's the way you survived.
Must getting me a.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Trump has beaten back to every attack against him.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
We're going to fix our borders and we're going to
fix our elections.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
We're going to win. It's my legacy, said kidding Trump.
The best is yet to come. Baby. This is a
stir of success. Brought up in Arne, Texas. Broke ass
whole scholarship his.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Way to two law degrees, including one from her Majesty
Quinny elected three or four times, a lawyer, a husband,
a father, but most of all are higna ass asking
your seat there, pop your coat when they.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Get ready for more of them.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Mister Michaelbeer.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A CNN, we'll call him a reporter. That's not what
they do. They're advocates, they're activists. A CNN activists caught
up with a Trump supporter out at the lake and
she asked him what his biggest issue was in his election.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
What's your most important issue is the economy?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Getting the intertrace down, getting it what we can afford
to live in America right now?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's too expensive for it.
Speaker 11 (19:01):
Okay, now, let me maybe ask it like a slightly
imp that question. But you know, if you could afford
a vote, you're not hurting so bad, right because.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
The boat costs a lot of money and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
There's a lot of upkeep. Nobody gave me. I earned
everything that I've got.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
I'm retired military, retired power plant and I am successful
and retired with boats jet skis because I did it right.
And everybody has that chance, whether they choose or not,
that's up to them.
Speaker 11 (19:27):
I would never try to take anything away from you
in that way. But what I'm asking is groceries are
probably a smaller part of your budget than say, you
know someone who's like a.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Little worse off.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
I'd think it's interesting that people who are a little
bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Just you see what i'mcause, I.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Want my money to go further. I want inflation to
go down. I want to interest you to go back down.
I want all that. But that covers everybody in the economy,
not just me, not just a poor, not just a ranchy.
That covers everybody.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
That's something I've heard from Some people tell me if
this applies to use, like they're worried their kids aren't
able to.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
For at a house clo.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
I trained my kids and taught my kids properly. They
have great educations and they're most successful in their careers.
Actually they're going better than me.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Do they ask Taylor Swift that question? Because how much
to groceries affect her? This is the politics of the
third world what she just did right there. The idea
that why are you complaining you're rich, you have a boat,
unless you're starving, you can't complain. Politics is for the starving,
and that's how Democrats get rich.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Everybody else is poor, they're rich.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called out Kamala Harris's forty two
billion dollar broadband initiative for not connecting a single person
to the world wide web.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
This is why we have inflation.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
These people raise taxes, they spend billions of dollars on
these big promises that never deliver, and as a result,
you have inflation.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I've had the privilege of serving as a commissioner on
the FCC for over seven years now. Before that, I
served as the agency's General Uncil After first joining the
SEC as a staffer back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
My primary focus has.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Been ensuring that every American has a fair shop at
next generation connectivity. In my view, there's no better way
to do a job in Washington than to get outside
the Beltway and see firsthand that challenges ahead. That's why
I spent time in nearly every state over the past
few years, meeting with broadband builders, local leaders, and community
(21:26):
members alike. Along the way, I've stood on top of
two thousand foot broadcast tower with Tower Cruise. I've been
a mile below ground to see a fiber build connecting
an underground research lab. I've visited with Cruise stringing fiber
along the Arctic Ocean in Utkiyadvik, Alaska, America's northernmost point.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And I've been on the Gulf Coast with teams.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
As they restored service after hurricanes in Florida. In every community,
I've heard about the opportunity that comes with a high
speed connection, and that's why I was pleased when a
bipartisan consensus emerged to provide the support necessary to end
the digital divide. So the most significant of those efforts
is a forty two billion dollar initiative known as BID.
(22:11):
But unfortunately, BID is a program that has gone off
the rails.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Here's how.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
In twenty twenty one, Vice President Harris agreed to lead
the administration's signature forty two billion dollar effort to extend
internet service to millions of Americans. It's now been one thousand,
thirty nine days since that program was enacted. After all
(22:40):
of that time, not one person has been connected to
the Internet, not one home, not one business, not even
one shovel worth of dirt has been turned.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And it gets worse.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No infrastructure builds will even start until sometime next year
at the earliest, and in many cases not until twenty
twenty six. This makes Vice President Harris's forty two billion
dollar initiative the slowest moving federal broadend deployment program in
recent history. With Vice President Harris at the helm Politico
(23:15):
recently reported on the quote frustration in finger pointing that
defined the program's quote MESSI delayed rollout one state broad
beneficial described quote a chaotic implementation environment dysfunction delays. She
added that the administration quote has provided either no guidance,
(23:37):
guidance given too late, or guidance changing mid stream. The administration,
she said, is slowing states down. So what has the
administration been doing over the last one thousand, thirty nine days.
Instead of connecting Americans, it's been advancing a wish list
(23:59):
of progress massive policy goals.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The forty two.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Billion dollar program, led by Vice President Harris, is being
used to push a climate change agenda, DEI requirements, price controls,
preferences for government run networks, and rules that will lead
to wasteful overbuilding. All of this will leave rural communities behind. Frankly,
it would not be the only time the Biden Harris
(24:24):
administration has left rural America behind. In twenty twenty, the
sec Security commitment from Starlink to provide internet to six
hundred and forty thousand homes in businesses for about thirteen
hundred dollars per location in federal support, but the government
revoked that award last year after President Biden gave agencies
(24:48):
the green light.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
To go after Musk.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
The administration is now spending dollars on the penny to
connect locations through its own initiatives. Senator A Cruise release
a report identifying entire projects where the administration is now
spending over one hundred thousand dollars per location for Internet.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So here's the bottom line.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Absent major reforms, Vice President Harris's forty two billion dollar
program is wired to fail. It's time to correct course,
get rid of all the extraneous political goals, and focus
on quickly connecting American.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's another work week in the books. Getting you geared
up for the weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
It's the Friday drive home on the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well, that means our time together is coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure to enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Of course, we post podcasts on the weekend. I get
to hear from many of you by email when you
have a moment this weekend. Just take a moment, don't
write an don't go does to escue on me, But
just where you listen and what you do. Some little
thing about you if you were the guy out in
front of the tank at Tenement Square. You know, tell
(26:09):
me that while are you there, send me an email.
What station you listen on, where you listen, what time
you listen, Things you like? Things you don't get right
to the point, because I read a lot of emails,
but I do enjoy reading them. It really helps me
fashion a show understanding you know. I saw an interview
that Rush gave less than a year after he went national.
(26:31):
It's the first to really do it the way he did.
And they said, how different is it for you now
that you have such a big audience, And he said, honestly,
I sit in a studio and I look through the
glass at my producers, and that never changed. The difference
is now the President's listening, and I feel the same.
(26:52):
But what I love is hearing from you. How does
the show affect you? What are you going through? People
will share with me? And lost for my mom this
week just felt like I love that. I love the
idea that I'm right there in the truck with you.
I'm right there in your suburban with you. I'm right
there in your car with you, riding along for a
lot of you out there on your tractor with you.
(27:12):
I love that connection, and I do the show with
that in mind, and I think that's one of the
things that makes our show are a little different. I
told you that I'm hopeful, and I'm going to close
on something that we've held all week because this kind
of stuff gives me hope.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
This is a good sign.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The Daily Mail sat down with seven undecided black voters
in Georgia to see who they're leaning forward to, Communist
Kamala Harris or President Trump.
Speaker 12 (27:33):
And you're gonna like this, hand up if you think
is better on the Trump and hands on if you
think they's better on the bid than Herrits.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, it's seven ones. That's pretty pretty clear the truth.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
I'm not saying he's like, of course, yeah, Like I
did say he has best.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He still has a business mindset.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
I think that linked in somewhat and I think yes
to trickle down whatever previous stuff, not that he just
handled certain things a little better.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
Does Trump come let us he providing more jobs, more
opportunities and simulars even though he didn't have any experience
of politics.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But he came in and did a much better job.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
And you look at the statistics now, so far more
words now than the work before.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
Firstly, I just lost the general question about Horris going
to show back, well, shigus hesitation about waiting to come
of Harris.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
Is she going to be able to do the things
that she says she's going to be able to do?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That's you know what I mean, is gonna be able
to do it? That's my big exervisation. Is she gonna
be able to get it past comment greens? You know
what I'm saying. I don't know, you know, calibulated everything
that glitters ain't going.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Very It looks great on paper, but I'm not sure
going to translate to policies and if she'll even be
able to get it past.
Speaker 15 (28:47):
My thing is his strength, and that's my focus for her,
you know. And she's gonna be able to take a
points and give one the two bests, you know, that's
my biggest thing. And it has nothing to do with
her gender. Ladies, Okay, but you had we're talking about
the highest office in their ends.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, yell Obama, I would.
Speaker 12 (29:11):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You can't be weak and hold that.
Speaker 14 (29:13):
Yeah, like people heard next to Michelle Obama, it's like
or Hillary Rank orgular Clinton. It's like there's no compares
and all the strength, and I think Michelle Obama couldn't
wear up again.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
He did what they would eat her.
Speaker 12 (29:26):
How did you Harris some across them? How did she
do up against him? Hayrid says that you know, big personality.
How did she do? How did she come across?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
She kept saying that she's a warrior, She's gonna fight. Bro.
I don't know if you were strong. I mean, I
get it what you feel, but I don't think you could.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
You are as like a warrior like fire like she is.
That's just in my opinion, not that I don't think
she doesn't care. And like I said, she used a
lot of appealing to emotion like uh, anecdotal likes or
like yeah, anecdotal eminence instead of like you know, she
does some facts, but just like to like appeal to people. Hey,
you know, I'm just like you know, so trying to
(30:02):
get people on her side.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I don't think the bar was set pretty high when
it comes to that what comes to her speaking. I
believe the last one, the last debate with Biden said
it really low. So I believe she did a lot
better than Biden. So that's that's pretty much like they're
both old and old.
Speaker 15 (30:16):
Tramp was old and we need to get some young
folks in there that knows, you know, having ideas of
what she wanted.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now that's money. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
It was several times where he kept like referring to
her his day, like he almost didn't even addresce her,
Like he kept saying it she say her.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Name at all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I mean, that's your boss, that's your boss, Like I'm
just doing what bid.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Yeah, it does make you wonder, right because it's kind
of like he's saying stuff like y'all just ousted him,
and I'm like, this is not what happened.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But in the back of my mind, I'm like, what
if it is? What has now she's figure it, you know.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
So it's difficult to jump on board one hundred percent
because you do kind of like you've seen it. We've
lived through now, you know, multiple elections that we've seen
how they turned out. So as a person, I do
think she's a better person than he is overall character wise,
and that's why you know, more people I think are
leaning towards her. I don't know, if that one has
to present me, she'll do a better job in the
office in front.
Speaker 12 (31:05):
Of harris est debate, and from what you've seen so far,
pick your hand up. If you think she's strong enough,
keep your hand down. If you've got doubt whether she's
strong enough, so pick your hand up. If you think
Harris is strong enough.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yes, I think she's strong enough. Yeah, just like enough.
Speaker 15 (31:22):
Yeah, Future you look blood come by. I don't know,
I didn't see it, but when you had to face
the other leaders from the other countries, you know what.
You got to tay up what it kicks to stand
there and throw punches like they throw.
Speaker 12 (31:38):
Yeah, I'm hearing more that scene from those Yeah
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Thank you and good night.
