It's that time. Lock and load. The Michael Derry Show is on the air. Heroes, everyone, heroes by the million, men who abandon home and vocations that they may be ready to defend democracy if necessary. Sturdy of body, firm and spirit, semen, marine, soldiers, and flyers. Memorial Day is the day that we honor and remember. Those who died serving our country. Armed Forces Day is the day that we honor those currently serving. Veterans Day is the day that we honor those who have served. It's observed every year, now consistently on this day, November 11th. It began as Armistice Day, recognizing the end of World War I in 1918. It was to be the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th month that the fighting would stop. The guns would fall silent at that moment. In 1954, the United States renamed it Veterans Day. to honor all who have served in our armed forces, in every branch, in every era. Dwight David Eisenhower, interestingly, was the president at that time. That was the moment we went from honoring those who had served into war to end all wars, which it wasn't, World War I, and we incorporated World War II as well. Since then, of course, In terms of conflicts, we've had a lot of. We've had Vietnam, most notably, but we've had Iraq, Afghanistan. Somalia and so many more, the Korean War, the era during which my father served, so many served our country with valor and honor. And we recognize that. Today there were ceremonies, President Trump delivering a beautiful speech following JD Vance himself, a veteran is JD Vance. And today we honor each and every one of you. And every one of your family members who served in any branch of the United States military, your service is noted, appreciated, loved. So we go back to begin the program to 1985. We'll get to President Trump's remarks today. I think they were quite poignant. We go back to 1985. And I invite you to say a prayer with me. with president, then president, Ronald Reagan. A few moments ago, I placed a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. And as I stepped back and stood during the moment of silence that followed, I said a small prayer. And it occurred to me that each of my predecessors has had a similar moment. And I wondered if our prayers weren't very much the same, if not identical.

We celebrate Veterans Day on the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I, the armistice that began on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. And I wonder, in fact, if all America's prayers aren't the same as those I mentioned a moment ago. For all we can ever do for our heroes is remember them and remember what they did. and memories are transmitted through words. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the founding fathers, grave and gray hair. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives, the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember. There's always someone who is remembering for us. No matter what time of year it is or what time of day, there are always people who come to this cemetery leave a flag or a flower or a little rock on a hitstone. And they stop and bow their heads and communicate what they wished to communicate. I think sometimes of General Matthew Ridgeway, who the night before D-Day tossed sleepless on his cot and talked to the Lord and listened for the promise that God made to Joshua, I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. We're surrounded today by the dead of our wars. We owe them a debt we can never repay. All we can do is remember them and what they did and why they had to be brave for us. All we can do is try to see that other young men never have to join them. Today as never before, we must pledge to remember the things that will continue the peace. Today as never before, we must pray for God's help in broadening and deepening the peace we enjoy. Let us pray for freedom and justice at a more stable world. And let us make a compact today with the death. A promise in the words for which General Ridgeway listened, and I will not fail thee nor forsakely. They remain scared to death of you, and they remain scared to death of the Trump. The Michael Barry Show. You're not going anywhere. Even if Trump does, you're not. We did something we don't often do, which is take President Trump's remarks today, which we listened to most of them live. He started before we were off the air, but we, well, I guess not live, but slightly delayed. And then as a group, we listened to them, and we cut them up.

We could literally play President Trump speaking to you every single day, but choose not to, because we think it's important to highlight particularly important statements or speeches that he gives. And today, I think, was one of those. I'm going to start in reverse order in his speech because he started by honoring our veterans. But then, and this will be 506, Ramone. Then he talked about... why we honor our veterans. So this wasn't just the tribute to the veterans. This is, this is really, and I think it's important to do this, this is really putting into perspective why we do this. That under my leadership, we're also fighting for the great veterans who have always, always been there for us. And especially when we needed them and needed them most. In nine months, the Trump administration has cut the backlog of VA benefit claims in half. That's a big achievement. And Doug is going to get it down to zero. During the Biden administration, the backlog exploded like we had never seen before, and I'm going to eliminate 100% of that backlog. We're moving at that pace, and already we've processed more than 3 million backlog claims the most of any year in the history of the VA. We've added more than 1 million extra service hours across the VA centers, and we've opened 20 new facilities in 13 states, something... that people said just not possible to do. We also have brought back VA choice and VA accountability, taken away by the Biden administration, so that when you have to wait online, you go out and you get yourself a doctor. We pay for the doctor if you have to wait. And the other thing is we fired thousands of people who didn't take care of our... Our great veterans. They were sadists. They were sick people. They were thieves. They were everything you want to name. And we got rid of over 9,000 of them. And then when Biden came in, he hired them back, many of them. But we got rid of them. And I think we got rid of them permanently. We replaced them with people who love our veterans, not people who are sick people. We'll get to this issue in greater depth, but how we treat our veterans when we come home says a lot about us as a people. President Trump talking about the challenge of veteran homelessness, which is a real, real problem, the scale of this problem. We're also confronting the challenge of veterans' homelessness. And earlier this year, I signed an order establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence to house up to 6,000 veterans in need. And we will not stop until we have ended the tragedy of homeless veterans.

Once and for all, I'd see in New York where people that came into our country illegally, they came in illegally, would be put up in hotels, and veterans would be sitting on the sidewalk outside of that hotel where these other people are put in. And many of the people that came in were put in from prisons. They were murderers. They were drug dealers. There were people that we didn't want in our country. They were staying in hotels, luxury hotels, and our veterans were sitting on the sidewalks, watching them go in. I said, that's never going to happen under this administration. I also signed the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act because no veterans should be kicked out of their home for what they call a late payment. It's not happening. And I'm pleased to report that since January, the veteran's unemployment rate has fallen by more than 26%. That's amazing. Work hard on that. Stories. Stories are important. The story of Major John Turnbull was President Trump's next part of his speech. And yeah, it's a story. I'll tell you what. And I also want to give a very special thanks to all of the veteran service organizations that work so hard. They're all represented here today. But they work so hard on behalf of our great veterans. And one of the heroes who reminds us of why we fight for those who served in uniform is Army, Major West Point grad, Jonathan Turnbull. In 2019, Jonathan was conducting an operation in Syria. When a suicide bomber approached and detonated his vest, leaving Jonathan gravely wounded, so, so badly wounded, they thought he had no chance. The injuries were so severe, the doctors gave him everybody. They just looked there. They all cried. They knew him. They loved him, and they were just crying. They said, no chance. He was resuscitated three separate times and he underwent 22 surgeries, but he refused to give up. He wanted to live. He loved his country. He loved his family. He wanted to live. He was going through hell. I visited Jonathan and Walter Reed in 2020, and remember it so well. And today I'm delighted to say that Jonathan is not only alive, he is here with us back on his feet and living a great life alongside his beautiful wife, Samantha, and their three incredible children, Jonathan. Samantha, please. God bless you. God bless you. Thank you. Where are you? There he is.

There he is. Beautiful. Thank you very much. Thank you. You're a tough guy. You're a tough one. Nobody could have gone through what you went through. He's doing good, isn't he? Huh? Samantha. Thank you very much, both. President Trump, as the executive producer of celebrity or of The Apprentice, understands the reveal, understands how to create a moment. And it's such a moment fraught with intensity, attention, intensity. And he creates those moments. And I love that he does that around everyday people, not just famous people, but everyday people. And he brings such attention, such pageantry, such pomp to... to individuals who otherwise are never, you know, extolled. And he lifts them up in that way with this grand reveal in that manner that makes you feel good. It makes me be proud. It makes me proud to be an American that our president is honoring people like this. Because that's not just Major John Turnbull's moment. It's his family and it's other people in uniform. And they say, well, if they love him, they love me. Yes, we do. Thank you, Mr. President. The Michael Bari Weiss Show. I hope you enjoy our podcast as much as we enjoy making it.

I failed to mention, but at the beginning of the show and the beginning of the next hour, that montage. is a collection of musicians who served in the United States military. So thank you to Jim Budd for putting that together. Last quote from Trump I'll play in this hour from his Veterans Day speech today. He makes a point, I'll tell you this. I have no patience. Zero. For people who come to this country and criticize who we are and what we've done, if you don't like it, go back to your hellhole, whether that be Somalia or Europe or Asia or Mexico or wherever else. If you don't like this country, go home. And I won't have people criticizing the history of this country because people, my people, your people, have served. Some of them have died for other people's lands and freedom. And that is a noble goal. No greater love hath any man. And I want that honored. And when it's not honored, I have no patience for it. And my criticism is swift and righteous, Ramon. Do you hear me? Righteous. I feel it. I am unashamed of it. It's just President Trump talking about the fact that when God asked who would defend the land of the free, the American veteran stood up. From the very beginning of our country, our great American flag has always been shielded and protected by a special cast of citizen who has stepped forward to safeguard liberties cause. When danger came, when duty called, when Almighty God asked. Who had the will and the strength to defend the land of the free, each and every American veteran stood up and said, here I am, send me, here I am. They've come from every corner of this nation, from the cornfields of Iowa to the hills and valleys of California, from the steel towns of Pennsylvania to the vast plains of Texas, from the banks of the mighty Mississippi to the five boroughs of New York City. with selfless commitment and unyielding conviction, they made themselves America's ramparts and became the shield between our homeland and those who would do us harm with everything they had. They did one thing above all else. They put America first.

On the decks of destroyers beneath the thunder of cannon fire and the cockpits of our beautiful B-2 bombers, aren't they beautiful now? We respect them so much. What a job they did. That in an instant completely obliterated Iran's nuclear capability of which we have just ordered, I have to say, many more of the updated versions of that incredible... Peace of art. They defended the American Republic, dispensed American justice, crushed the enemies of freedom and vanquished the forces of wickedness and evil. That's what we've been doing because of what every veteran has done today. The flame of liberty shines bright. The people of our nation sleep safe. The American dream surges forward, and our magnificent destiny stands more splendid and glorious than ever before. So I want to say thank you once again to every American veteran. You are very, very special people and always in our heart. Thank you very much. And God bless you and God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much. Thank you, everybody. Thank you very much. You don't have to be a Republican or in the Republican Party to love this country, but I think it's important to remember. There are Democrats. Today, who are getting the support of the Democrat Party, who are getting the support of their fellow Democrats, who are getting money from Democrat donors, some of them abroad who hate this country. And they've said it. They want this country to fall. There are Democrats who are elected today, serving in the highest halls of American power, who will talk about that their primary allegiance is to a foreign country. They will talk about this country as evil. They will talk about you as evil. I have no patience for this. I will criticize it. I will call it what it is, which is pure evil. And whatever these people and their well-trained operatives will say of people like me, I will not stop. Calling them and what they say exactly what it is and what they are. They are subversive. They are anti-American. They are ungrateful and they are evil. They are a cancer on our country. Listen, I don't think every conflict we've been involved in, we had any business being involved in. But... Those who went and served did so nobly, patriotically, selflessly. They don't give the orders. They take them. Of late, for save, but the handful of people still around from World War II, those folks, almost everyone signed up to serve.

Although Vietnam did have a draft, it's important to remember that. There were people who managed to get out of that draft by hook or by crook, by political affiliation, and there were people who justifiably get out of the draft due to physical health problems and other issues. There were people who fled to Canada and to a lesser degree to other countries. But by and large, the people who were called to serve, served. And that is what we honor today. That is as noble as anything we honor today. I've been involved with an organization. All I do is talk about it. I don't do anything useful. Many of you have contributed and the veterans make it run. It's called the PTSD Foundation of America. And we have a residential facility in Houston that has grown and developed over our 13 years now. And it's a beautiful, wonderful thing. Veterans suffering with PTSD who are feeling suicidal can call the number, which is 877717 PTSD. 8771717 PTSD. And it won't be a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a VA counselor on the other end. It won't be a case intake officer. It'll be a combat veteran who himself has come through the program on the other side of the phone. And they can talk in their specific language that they understand from experience that they understand. And they've talked guys off a ledge. They've talked them off of roofs. They've talked them off of bridges where they call. They've talked them out of, take the pistol out of your mouth. Your life is important and valuable and meaningful and significant. And we're going to save your life and you're going to have a good life. And they bring them in free to them. We raise the money. Lots of you give the money. It does not cost them a penny. Now, we shouldn't have to do that. Our government should provide that. But they're not providing that. And we're losing too many veterans to PTSD. So if you know someone who needs help, write this number down to have them call. If they'll just make the call, they'll never have to pay a penny. Nothing will ever be asked of them. They've earned it already. 877717 PTSD. And to everyone who has given to, contributed to, volunteered for, worked at Camp Hope as part of PTSD Foundation of America. Thank you. The Michael Bari Weiss Show. Let's turn our attention to government and politics where the shutdown has ended. But Democrats are having an internal fight. And this is an interesting moment for the Democrat Party as to who's going to win the Democrat Party. They now have rabble rousers in their midst who are open socialists and some open communists. And those people have been carefully recruited, heavily funded, promoted through media. And what's happening is they're being sold to the American public and particularly to the constituent groups as they're cool, they're hip. This is exciting. This is trendy. And so you want to get on board this because this is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This is Zohran Mamdani. These people are fun. They're cool. They're hip. They're not old white guys. And this is a real challenge for people like Chuck Schumer.

mischief because if we vote to open and then the immediate step next week is Donald Trump fires a lot more people it's going to blow up trust to get the full year deal and so I've been I've been preaching this moratorium on mischief for a month but I think partly why did they finally give me the moratorium on mischief on riffs they needed my vote but they also saw the election on Tuesday he has no idea what he's saying and neither do we So the view, the hen party that nobody watches, but people talk about afterwards, Sonny Hosten, she's a not very smart woman, but somebody feeds her Democrat talking points. She's not happy that Chuck Schumer lost the shutdown battle with Donald Trump because she hates Donald Trump. You know, she reminds me, these women, these hen party women. They remind me so much of the woman whose husband has dumped her for the secretary and run off on her and she's just bitter at men. You see these women just very, very bitter at men. She thinks it's time now for Chuck Schumer to go. Well, the only way Chuck Schumer goes is if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez runs against him. And I think now there are professional operatives who are planting that and pushing that. So it looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being recruited. But make no mistake, this is the phase two of their plan. Even commitment to have a vote. So the bottom line is the Democrats went into this after a blue wave out of the American people saying we do want the opposition. The working people want the Democratic Party to fight for them. And now they just caved and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over. If he cannot keep his caucus together, if he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go. That did not come on her own. She doesn't know how to announce that Chuck Schumer needs to step down. This is a coordinated campaign by people paid by Soros. This is how these things are made to look organic. President Trump told Laura Ingram that not only did Chuck Schumer... the Chuck Schumer of Chuck Schumer shutdown lose his battle to keep the government shut down because he wanted the government shutdown. He wanted pain because his thought was if people are suffering, then they will blame Trump. So he wanted to ensure that people suffer. But in addition to losing his battle to keep the government shut down, he's lost something else as well, President Trump says. He thought he could break the Republicans, and the Republicans broke him.

But he did think that we have, look, we have good policy, they have bad policy. And there's something, I don't know if it's Trump derangement or are they just crazed. They're like crazed loner texts. But we have just great policy. We have good people. They have some good people too. I know a lot of Democrats. They're not all crazy. They're not all. But you have some that are absolutely terrible. I look at this Jasmine Crockett. This is a very low IQ person. And... I look at somebody that comes from Somalia, where they don't have anything. They don't have police. They don't have military. They don't have anything. All they have is crime. And she comes in and tells us how to run our country. The Constitution says this, the Constitution. The whole thing is crazy. I feel badly because I've known Chuck Schumer. I knew him when he was a person who loved Israel, and now he's a Palestinian. He's become a Palestinian. And it's amazing. I've never seen a politician change so much. Also, he doesn't have, you know, he was a pretty talented guy. He's lost his talent.

Ray Breyer's is the pipe man. He owns Pipeyard Inc. And they buy and sell pipe all day long. And I am shocked how much business we've been able to send him across the country. Entire pipelines going across three different states where they need to get the pipe pulled out. He's like, I'll pull the pipe out, I'll sell the pipe. People buying pipe, people selling pipe. The people that buy pipe are environmental managers, pipeline project managers, somebody that's got an abandoned pipeline that's been removed. They want... The pipe, the pipeyard ink, compliance and regulatory folks. I want to get those pipes out of there. Selling pipe, folks that need carbon steel pipe, the pipeyard ink stocks everything you need, any kind of pipe. There is stuff that people call him for, industrial stuff, that he doesn't even have, and he tracks it down. He's working his phone, and his team is working their phones all day long. He's got a yard, they've got pipe. But... They are working the phones to get stuff for people all day long. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe.

You don't want to drive there, park, go in, be around a bunch of folks that are dropping weights and talking and waiting. You want your... fitness to come to you, to your living room, to your garage.
