This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. You have reached the Michael Bari Weiss podcast, and I'm honored to have you here. If I could just take a few seconds to tell you a little bit about our show, how we do it, why we do it. We are big believers in American excellence. We are big believers in old-fashioned culture, treating a woman properly. being respectful to your parents, being attentive parents to our own kids. Those are the values that underpin more than party or anything else, everything that we do. And hopefully you hear that in every show that we put on. And in the process, hopefully we make you laugh a little bit as well. I want to say thanks to our show sponsor, Ray Breyers, at The Pipeyard Inc. He buys and sells pipe.

Did you know that most... Insurance companies will pay for a man to have testosterone replacement if he's below 350? Isn't that interesting? You've probably heard that testosterone will, well, invigorate you. Your wife may enjoy that, or she may want to be left alone, but your wife may enjoy that. You may enjoy that. But there's so much more. Let me tell you. More energy, more strength, you feel better. Synergenics. Go get your blood tested. There comes a point where you don't want to go to the gym. 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. You don't even need a weight set. They'll bring bands. Whether you're trying to recover from a stroke, a heart attack, you just want to get up out of the wheelchair. Petru in-home fitness. It's a breath of fresh air coming to your home every day. The older you are, hey, that's not a problem. Folks do it well into their 90s. Petru in-home fitness. It's that time. Time, time. Lock and Load. The Michael Very Show is on the air. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is the chairman of the Senate's Oversight Committee.

As I mentioned earlier, he has released Anthony Fauci's diary, which covers from December of 2019 through December of 2022, the key period of time when he was leading the COVID hysteria. And ahead of Anthony Fauci appearing before the committee this week, he has released that diary. so that when he makes reference to a question, everybody knows what he's asking about. As Rand Paul points out on Anthony Fauci and COVID, quote, what he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories. Anthony Fauci's diary shows that he was increasingly preoccupied with his rising media profile. reveling in the admiration. You'll remember he was on the cover of magazines. Oh, they were making memes with him and sung. Oh, he was it. He was Anthony Fowler. Oh, we all love Anthony Fauci. Celebrities were reaching out. Media leaders were reaching out. And he meticulously recorded all of them. Over the weekend, Rand Paul. released what he said was Anthony Fauci's diary from December 19th through December 2022. The New York Post Miranda Divine writes, quote, Anthony Fauci emerges from the diary entries as a frivolous narcissist, possibly corrupt, and a really bad speller. For example, dissuaded was spelled D-Y-S-W-A-D-D as the global death toll mounted. Anthony Fauci's diary shows he was increasingly preoccupied with his rising media profile and reveling in the admiration. Much praise for me, he gushed on March 4th, 2020 after recording 108 cases of coronavirus in the U.S. and 10 deaths. Much praise for me. He wrote that in his own diary. This is some sort of Hannibal Lecter level weird. Much praise for me. And let me go get my diary. Oh, here it is. Okay, all right. Much praise for me. Quote, everyone in the White House is congratulating me and thanking me for my work and even asking for selfies. On March 15, 2020, he wrote all caps in an exclamation mark at the end of the second word, big day. USA equals 2888, and that's the number of cases, with 58 deaths. I did all five Sunday shows today. My third Anthony Fauci 5. He wrote this. I did all five Sunday shows today. My third Anthony Fauci Five. He's naming things for himself. With This Week on ABC, Meet the Press on NBC, Face the Nation on CBS, Fox with Chris Wallace, and CNN.

And this goes on day after day. Miranda Devine writes, day after day he recorded the praise, the media profiles, the quote, multiple TV cameras and hundreds of camera clicks following me. And his centrality in the decision making at the White House in those early days of the pandemic. Additional files released by Rand Paul in the prelude to Wednesday's showdown revealed that Anthony Fauci, who had been the highest paid federal official in the United States government, also solicited nominations for big money awards for himself from scientists to whom he had given millions in government grants, according to the files. He, quote, stacked up cash prizes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars during COVID, end quote. says Rand Paul, including one foreign prize worth a cool $900,000. Anthony Fauci even had his taxpayer-funded staff writing nominations for him. He's got people your tax dollars are paying for, writing nominations for him, writing nominations for him to receive awards that have a cash bonus with them. Quote, pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall, warns the Bible about such hubris. But his 50 years as a powerful bureaucrat taught Anthony Fauci only that he was a God. And after all the damage he wrought, it's hardly consolation to witness his inevitable fall. It is simply a tragedy that a man so flawed could wield such power. It will happen again. We will have another COVID. We're already in the middle of the George Floyd. The George Floyd game is already in full swing. This illegal alien that they're all weekend. Go look at any of the local news stations. Go look at the Houston Chronicle. There's article after article. Sylvia Garcia is the new face of it. There's one glowing profile. Sylvia Garcia's long, impressive career has prepared her for this moment. She has fought for immigrant rights. Immigrant rights. Immigrants aren't illegal. Why do you keep blurring the line? That's like saying you're fighting for black rights when what you're saying is that people who committed murderers should be freed from the prison. All black people aren't murderers. You're fighting for murderers. Call it what it is. Why? because they have to have illegal aliens to destroy this country. They have to have those numbers to win back the state houses, the state senators, the congressional districts, the Senate races.

Well, not the Senate races, but to win back, everything that is proportionate to race. Anything that is apportioned to race, they need those warm bodies in those districts so they can create more state reps and state senators and U.S. congressmen. And without it, they can't do it. They can't win your votes. They can't win enough of your votes. That's why the border was wide open. That's why they don't want them deported. So what do they do? They literally sit around and create these strategies, which case is going to be the illegal alien right there. And it's in Houston. Why was it important that it's in Houston? Texas has to be backward. We have to have a reason to put a Democrat in. We've had Republicans for 36 years. We've got to have a reason to flip this. We've got to have the nation focused on getting James Talarico in. It's all part of the process.

Maybe audibly laugh when I tell a joke like that, so I know you thought it was funny. Mr. Michael Barry. Oh, no, I won't do that. It's too much, Ramon. Yeah. She won't go that far. That was so funny. been convicted for the drunk driving crash that killed Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Constable Catherine Hudson and her eight-year-old daughter. Fox 26 with the story. The heavy emotional day in court today, the jury came back guilty on two separate counts of intoxication manslaughter. One for the death of Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Catherine Hudson and the other for her daughter who was just eight years old. And so this happened back in November of 2012. just before Thanksgiving. I want to show you some video from the scene that night. And so it was around 3 a.m. on the Katie Freeway near the West Loop. Now, Deputy Hudson, she was working an off-duty traffic control job for a road construction crew. She was parked in her white Impala with her emergency lights flashing to protect those workers. Her daughter, Casey, was asleep in the car. Alvarado was driving a gray Mazda impaired and slammed straight into the back of her car without stopping. The impact pushed her patrol. car into a utility truck and it caught fire instantly. Hudson was an 18-year veteran on the force protecting a crew with her young child right there. Some of the evidence presented was body camera footage, the fields of variety evaluations on the scene, and blood alcohol data. So what happened was this particular deputy, she didn't have anybody to help her with her child. I think the kid, I think she was planning, I'm taking the kid to school, but I don't remember. I knew at the time. So while she's working this traffic job, she's sleeping in the back seat. The little girl is sleeping in the back seat while mommy works. It's almost 4 o'clock in the morning. Omar Alvarado is driving along at 4 o'clock in the morning. never sees her car with the lights on on the side of the road. How drunk is this guy? Crashes into the car, kills the woman and her daughter. My goodness. My goodness. You know, I remember when I read this story, it made me think of something when I was In first grade, going into second, my dad and his late brother, Uncle Gene, were building our house. And my dad built our house with his own two hands. He wasn't a millwright, he wasn't a carpenter, he wasn't a plumber or electrician. But... He was doing it on the cheap. He was building a house for his family to live in, out in the country, away from town where the land was cheap. And I remember that we had a linoleum floor.

It was a yellow linoleum floor. Some of you probably had the same make and model. I don't know if it was from Sears because there weren't a lot of places back then. You couldn't go on every corner the way you can in Houston now and buy some countertop of some different material. You couldn't just go to McCauley's Lumber or call McCauley's Lumber and have them deliver it to you. It wasn't like that. Not an orange anyway, but I bet it wasn't like that in Houston either. And we went out. And it was after a ball game. So I'd had a little league baseball game. I don't know why I went with my dad instead of my mom. But it was cold. And southeast Texas doesn't get very cold very often. It probably wasn't that cold. I just wasn't used to anything below 100 degrees. And I remember we went in there. And the house was... Just past frame, they were beginning finish out and I was seven years old and I was so tired. I was so incredibly tired and they had put the linoleum floor down in the little kitchen and something had happened. It had bubbled up so they were having to scrape it up. So they had a scraper like you'd use on your windshield. They had some sort of a flat metal. whatever, shovel, whatever it was. And they had, they would cut it and they were trying to get it off there because I think it had bubbled, maybe it, whatever the reason was, they'd put it down the day before and now they had to take it up. And they were scraping away. And this house did not feel like a home yet. And it's cold. And there was no heat. And I remember just crawling up in a ball. in the corner. I had no pillow, no blanket, no, and I'm just crawled up in the corner and trying to sleep and it's cold. Do you remember as a kid? You're feeling that way? Well, all of this happened in November of 2024. And I just imagine that little girl being exactly the age I was. sleeping the back seat of mommy's car. Now, hopefully she got her wubby blanket and hopefully she got her pillow. And I don't know what kids do now, SpongeBob SquarePants or whatever, Pokemon or whatever. Hopefully she had a little pillow that was her favorite pillow. And she's crawled up in the backseat. And mom is making it happen. She's working overnight out at this construction site to keep food on the table to keep it all together. I mean, I suppose somebody could say, why is the little girl in the back seat while mom's working? I don't know about you, but my parents did whatever it took to make it happen. And I bet you did as well. And I bet your parents did as well. It didn't always look good. Sometimes you were left home, maybe a little younger than if it made the news, would look good. Maybe mom or dad threw you in the back seat while they had to run errands. Maybe just maybe they forgot to lower the windshield. And you're over there sweating away in this microwave and banging out. Oh, my God, I forgot. Because we're imperfect people.

Because life doesn't turn out the way we planned it. You're just trying to get through that minute. What if he hit the daughter before he hit her? And she had to know that was her little girl in there. And she couldn't get there fast enough to protect him. I hope Omar Alvarado has nightmares day and night. I hope he is traumatized for the rest of his life. The proceedings, the court of impeachment is hereby dissolved. Mr. Michael Barry. Well, that about does her. Raps are all up. A friend of mine is a former assistant district attorney pointed out. You see a number of these cases where law enforcement officers will be run down by drunks late into the night under the theory that they are attracted to these lights. And they're seriously impaired. They don't know what's going on. And so they're operating at a very, very reduced battery. and making terrible decisions based on sensory perception and faulty stimuli. And I received a link to the story of police officer Kevin Scott Will. Police officer Kevin Scott Will did not receive an encomium from Sylvia Garcia. or any of the other elected officials who are very concerned about the illegal alien who just died. Police officer Kevin Will was struck and killed by a drunk driver as he investigated a hit-and-run accident involving a motorcyclist on the Loop 610 north near Yale at approximately 3.15 a.m. The story we told you a minute ago. Officer and her daughter killed at 3.45 a.m. My mother always said nothing good happens after 10 o'clock. If you've had teenagers, you know, and it's not just mine. It may not have been yours, but I know it's a lot of others because I've had this conversation. Teenagers, when they first start driving those first few years, They will have a tendency to remain dormant during the daylight hours and even the early evening hours. But oh, you let it get to about 10 o'clock in the evening or better 11. You know, when the most drunk drivers are out, when the most criminals are out committing their crimes, when the most problems are likely to occur. that's when you get a craving for raising canes. That craving, you don't get that craving flung on you at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in the summer. You don't get it at 8 o'clock in the evening when it's still relatively safe. No, no, no. You must have your water burger at 11.30 p.m. And so my rule is, no. My kids have a budget. We go over it every month.

This is what you can spend. This is how you spend it. This is the understanding of the consequences of spending on this and then you don't have enough for this and these sorts of things. But here we have another case. Officer Kevin Will was interviewing a witness to the motorcycle accident when the drunk driver drove around barriers and emergency vehicles that were blocking the closed freeway. Seeing the vehicle approach, Officer Will warned the witness to jump out of the way. The citizen was able to jump to safety moments before Will was struck and killed. The driver. was taken into custody at the scene and was charged with intoxicated manslaughter for Officer Will's death. It was later discovered that the suspect had entered and was living in the United States illegally. He pleaded guilty to intoxicated manslaughter and on June 8, 2012, was sentenced to 55 years in prison. Officer Kevin Will is survived by his at that time, expectant wife, two children, parents, and brother. Every single day in this country, an illegal alien, a gangbanger, one of these people kills one of us, an American citizen. wearing the badge, teaching a class, running a business, taking a kid to an event, breaks into the home, kills an elderly person, plays the knockout game with somebody walking on a sidewalk. And one by one by one, they are killing our people. One by one by one. And when one of their own, in the process of being arrested, is part of a threesome that makes a very aggressive gesture and leaves the ice agent no option but to protect himself. What do they do? They rally. They have protests. The Houston Chronicle Rights articles, the local TV stations, the district attorney demands, I want every bit of information. You don't want to effing information. You don't want the effing information when an American citizen is killed by an illegal alien. You don't rush to the Rodney Ellis press conference. Rodney Ellis doesn't hold a press conference. Sylvia Garcia doesn't bring her tales from the crypt soul out there because you don't care. None of them care. And I'm going to tell you something, you better start caring. Because this does not end. They don't reach a point where this ends. This is all a path in what the liberals like to refer to as their journey. This is their journey. And it is nothing short of absolute and complete political power. And I hate even talking about it because you have to sound crazy to call out what they're doing because what they're doing is crazy. Ilhan Omar over the weekend.

tweeted that Donald Trump should be kicked out of this country. Ilhan Omar. She wrote, The idiot who runs our country says this, but doesn't have the courage or evidence to come after me. This should tell you how low IQ he is. Trump is who needs to get the hell out of our country because he is destroying it and making us the laughing stock of the world. She's from Somalia. I dare say Somalia is the laughing stock of the world. We have people who are the worst of the worst. Her family was part of the corrupt dictatorship there that was driven out of the country. You may not know this. Ilhan Omar didn't come here as a poor child in a village seeking a better life. Her family was driven out of the country because they were the corrupt government. And they fled for fear of being murdered. These are people who had everything, as much as you can have everything in Somalia, and were engaged in such bad behaviors that they had to flee with the madding crowd giving chase. Now she's come here. And she's a spokesman for the Somalis who are on welfare, engaged in fraud, committing violence, and when they're caught, go on the fleet. Look at this, folks. Too many of our neighbors are unwilling to admit and address what's actually happening because it's unpleasant. It was interesting. I think it was Thursday or Friday. This came up. The first time we've talked about it in years. I couldn't remember his name. Ramon had to remind me. But Richard Jewell was the security guard who had discovered the bomb, and he seemed to be sketchy. So he became suspect number one. It was the Atlanta Olympics. You think it's because he was fat? Okay. Because he was fat? Okay. It was 1996. A pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Park during the Olympics at the 96 Summer Olympics. This is NBC News reporting on the activity at his apartment where he lived with his mother. Ted County Police are still on guard at the entrance to the Monaco Station apartments. They're watching us as members of the media watch for any more signs of activity by federal investigators. Yesterday, lawmen made a second trip to Richard Jewel's former home in Habersham County. Agents bagged potential evidence. They also removed paint samples and took photographs. Other investigators went to a Tocco Hills hardware store asking about pipe that might have been used to make the bomb. We informed him we didn't have two-inch galvanized pipe, and we showed him the pipe men so he could see for himself we didn't have. Basically, that was it. There's been speculation that the bomb contained concrete nails. The manager of the hardware store said the agents never asked him anything about nails.

Jewel made a brief appearance outside his apartment last evening. On Wednesday, dozens of FBI and ATF agents were in Jewel's resident and carried off box after box of materials apparently searching for that key piece of evidence. It's a sad story. It's a really sad story because a man was wronged. And I don't think anybody in law enforcement had any intention of wronging him. But it's one of those stories that is just, you look back and it seemed to make sense. Everything seemed to fit into place. Every piece seemed to, but that was not the case. That is a tragic, tragic story. One-time Astros, Jeff Kent and Carlos Beltran have been inducted into Cooperstown. Jeff Kent talked about his time. This is going to be clip number seven, Ramon. Jeff Kent talked about his time with the Astros, and I like to hear this. My time in Houston meant more to me than the length on a baseball card would suggest. Jerry Huntsiker was the GM there and knew me by my match days and believed to me enough to bring me in as a free agent. That trust mattered. And getting to play alongside the killer bees of Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, and Lance Berkman was special. It didn't last as long as I wanted it to, but it left a permanent mark on me for what real leadership and accountability looked like. Jeff Kent's 351 home runs as a second basement. Second baseman, major league record. His career 500 slugging percentage, second highest at the position behind only Rogers Hornsby. His 540 doubles in the National League were tied for 10th in league history when he retired, with his career total of 560 being the fourth most by a second baseman. He ranked third among second baseman in RBIs. extra base hits, and sixth in total basis. Oh, RBI. Oh, I guess you're right. I always say RBI's, but I guess you're right. It is RBI. But I'm going to keep saying RBI's. His 2008 games at second base in the National League were third most in league history when he retired. And he ranked eighth in league history in putouts, sixth in assists, and fourth in double plays. In 2026, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. And the Giants have or will, I don't know if it's happened yet, retire his number 21. It's a homecoming of sorts for him because he's from Bellflower, California, played shortstop. Of course, every kid that was any good at that age did. Played at UC Berkeley in college, played in a college world series, went on to the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Mets, the Cleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants.

Houston Astros, L.A. Dodgers. What a career. So he played until 2008, and he started in 92, 16 years. That's a pretty good run. Jeff Kent in the Hall of Fame and Carlos Beltron. I always liked Beltron. Was Beltron caught up in the... Yeah, he was, I'm actually glad he made the Hall of Fame. And, you know, I love rivalries and I love smack talking. But I have to tell you, I find it's why I couldn't do sports. Because the sports people are even, it's like dealing. with an old white liberal lady at a protest. And she's got every button on and every sticker on and she's holding her thing up and she's going, hey, Trumpy bad, orange man bad. And they're just, they're insufferable. There's no talking to them. They just, they screech and they're miserable and they're awful and they're ugly and they stink and they're stupid. That's what a lot of sports fans are to me. That's how they are. If I were to say something nice about UT, I have to hear from the Aggie. I need to get it. And if I say something nice about UT, it's something, you know, it's about the Aggie stuff. And it becomes kind of who they are. It becomes their identity. And it becomes this weird sort of like a trans ideology activist whack job. You can't reason with him. All that being said, I liked Beltran. I was happy when they brought him back. I thought that was a great move for the clubhouse and it turned out to be. And I'm happy that his career is getting to do it deserves. Here's what he said. In 2004, I got the biggest blessing to be around two grades. Both of them are here. Jeff B. Will Crepegio. Believe it or not, I was 25 years old, and you guys were at the end of your career, maybe 36, 37. But you told me something very special. You told me that in order for me to aspire to have a long career in baseball, I needed to learn how to play with pain. I saw you guys grind day in and day out. That was very special to me, and that was something that I carried for the rest of my life. There's no way that I could last 20 years in the big list without learning how to play with pain. Thank you.

20 years he played in the big leagues. Nine-time All-Star. Ramon, who would you say are the greatest Puerto Rican players of all time? Aside from Chale, aside from Jose Cruz. Desi Arnese didn't play baseball. Okay. We'll start with Roberto Clemente. We've got to put Pudge Rodriguez up there. I'd put Roberto Alamara up there. Orlando Cepeda. Wasn't he Baby Bull? We had a boxer here in Houston named Baby Bull. Molina. Edgar Martinez is Puerto Rican. Very good. Yeah. Seattle Mariners. Little known because he labored away in Seattle.
