We're going to talk about Bernie Sanders and communism in the first hour.
00:00:12.640
Second hour, we're going to talk about a new economic theory,
00:00:16.040
which spells collapse, and third hour, let's do heroin.
00:00:25.720
The Amazon. The Amazon. Capital One data breach has just hit.
00:00:31.760
106 million of us had our names, home addresses, and banking information exposed.
00:00:40.820
You shouldn't forget it, but you do need to pay attention to home title lock.
00:00:46.220
They're the only ones that can lock down your title and mortgage online.
00:00:50.860
This is an epidemic, according to New York investigators.
00:01:36.660
Socialist Bernie Sanders, one of the leading presidential candidates yesterday,
00:01:44.400
tried to praise communist China, which is in and of itself an interesting thing to do,
00:02:23.380
My father used to call it a bench, kneading dough with work rough hands.
00:02:30.320
Every day for 20 years, he got up before the sun, dusting off the horizon.
00:02:36.140
He drove across town, and he got there and started making bread and donuts before anybody else was awake.
00:02:45.520
He's on his feet all day, working in an almost forgotten art, just because it makes other people happy.
00:03:02.260
And there are people just like this all over the country.
00:03:06.740
But he stands in comfort as he sprinkles flowers over the milestones of his frontier,
00:03:20.640
People on the edge of their frontier, just walking forward every day.
00:03:26.280
Honest, hardworking people who appreciate comfort and luxury in the same product.
00:03:31.920
And that product reminds them of who they are and where they're going.
00:03:36.620
Tecova's boots are made from the most exotic leathers available,
00:03:40.020
and they are handcrafted by world-class boot makers.
00:03:43.200
You know, it takes 200 steps to make a pair of Tecova's boots,
00:03:46.020
and yet their boots cost about half of what a boot of similar quality would cost.
00:03:54.820
but also the other fine leather and clothing products they make.
00:04:21.900
Here's Bernie Sanders, audio of Bernie Sanders yesterday,
00:04:30.300
But what we have to say about China, in fairness to China and its leadership,
00:04:35.840
is if I'm not mistaken, they have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty
00:04:40.400
than any country in the history of civilization.
00:04:50.780
I do not think those words mean what you think it means.
00:04:55.740
What he didn't talk about was that it is the free market principle
00:05:01.660
that China has started to enact that they got from us.
00:05:08.800
Never before in history have so many people escaped poverty
00:05:12.920
in such a short time in the past decades in China.
00:05:20.080
the percentage of extremely poor people in China in 1981
00:05:38.360
Poor people in China fell from 878 million people
00:06:04.620
China embraced the tenets of a free market economic system.
00:06:12.980
gradually reduced the influence of the once all-powerful state
00:06:35.420
are collapsing, as we pointed out earlier this week.
00:06:46.660
Half of that went right to these state-owned companies
00:33:30.500
happened don't you think everybody was equal oh yeah
00:33:39.620
problem in russia no now in order to ensure citizens
00:33:45.060
freedom of conscience the church in the ussr is
00:33:49.900
separated from the state and the school from the
00:34:05.740
no it's not directly in there no yeah freedom of
00:34:10.360
religious worship and freedom of anti-religious
00:34:16.560
article 125 in conformity with the interest of the
00:34:23.760
soviet system the citizens of the ussr are guaranteed
00:34:28.060
by law one freedom of speech b or two freedom of the
00:34:36.560
press three freedom of assembly the freedom to hold mass
00:34:42.240
meetings uh the freedom to have a street procession or demonstration
00:34:51.820
wow this i mean that sounds familiar too doesn't it
00:34:56.280
except did they have any of those things none of those things existed
00:35:01.600
in the in the former soviet union which is fascinating right yeah
00:35:06.100
right because of article 126 that says you know but if it's anything that goes
00:35:13.340
against what the people want and remember it's the it's the deputies that
00:35:19.040
decide what the people want if it goes against the people what the people want
00:35:24.340
and also it goes against the state then you're deemed um a radical and you will
00:35:32.380
be dealt with uh citizens of the ussr are are guaranteed uh the
00:35:39.380
the sacredness of the person the sacredness of the home and privacy of
00:35:45.320
correspondence is protected it is the duty of every citizen to
00:35:49.820
abide by the constitution of the uh union of soviet republics to observe the
00:35:55.240
law to maintain labor discipline to honestly perform public duties and
00:35:59.740
respect the socialist intercourse it is also the duty of every citizen of the
00:36:05.620
ussr to safeguard and strengthen uh public socialist property as sacred
00:36:12.920
uh it is the source of wealth and might of the country any persons committing
00:36:19.960
offenses against the public or socialist property are enemies of the people
00:36:25.660
isn't it amazing what happens when the constitution is a document of positive
00:36:31.960
liberties rather than negative liberties what do you mean pat i don't know what
00:36:36.840
that means well what that what that what i mean by that is that our
00:36:41.100
constitution is a document of what the government can't do to you their
00:36:46.080
constitution was what it was it was a document of what the government is going
00:36:50.760
to do for you with the exception of unless we don't like it right or you're not
00:36:57.680
the right person or you're in the wrong group or whatever yeah whatever it is plus
00:37:02.720
you wind up with the word intercourse in your in your constitution which is just
00:37:06.360
weird right like that that's a totally separate
00:37:09.400
issue but i think it's important okay i'm glad from the guy who brought us the
00:37:14.700
shirt uh news that you're also bringing us the uh the intercourse part you shouldn't
00:37:21.860
put the word intercourse in your constitution you should just know better than that it's
00:37:25.720
wrong i mean let's get him a thesaurus i mean obviously it was the free market
00:37:31.780
system that brought us the thesaurus uh i just find it uh i find it incredible how
00:37:37.860
far we've come and how fast we've come to reflecting the to having people running
00:37:45.100
for president who are reflecting the exact principles laid out in the soviet constitution
00:37:52.380
sometimes which are 180 degrees yeah some of them word for word 180 degrees in the opposite
00:37:59.040
direction of america and a free market all right back in just a second
00:38:03.880
despite what the movies say we're probably not going to wind up living in an apocalyptic
00:38:14.100
landscape dotted by roving zombies and warlords in in land rovers i mean first of all you can't bring
00:38:21.400
that land rover into the united states it's it's not fuel efficient and the emission standards are
00:38:26.820
totally different and even zombie warlords will abide by that law uh i'm
00:38:33.860
you know i don't think i'm going to have to trade stew for food i mean i can just change the
00:38:39.560
one letter stu to st e w and i think we're all going to be fine we're headed into national
00:38:47.940
preparedness month which as the name suggests is a time to make plans for disasters you know the real
00:38:54.440
ones you've done this i've done this by starting and building a food storage plan with my patriot supply
00:39:02.240
now they totally revolutionized the preparedness industry they have industry leading line of
00:39:09.640
emergency food it is not like mres this is really good food they have water filtration products that
00:39:17.120
you might need at some point and this week save a hundred dollars on a four-week emergency food
00:39:23.000

00:39:47.500
preparewithglenn.com preparewithglenn.com do it now this is the glenbeck program
00:39:54.720
and that's right welcome to the program today's a big day if you're a candidate that wants to get
00:40:15.940
into the debates uh looks like it's going to be only one night not two because they're cutting a lot
00:40:21.320
people out of it what are the standards and whose qualifyings do you need 130 000 individual donors
00:40:26.800
and you need four qualifying polls that show you at two percent or higher 10 candidates have qualified
00:40:32.500
for that already there's really only one who's on the fence as of today which was tom steyer uh steyer
00:40:38.320
had a amazing yeah and the only reason he had i mean he's spending a fortune in early states because
00:40:43.120
the early state polls count here however no one's releasing any early state polls so he's qualified in
00:40:48.840
all the early state polls that have been released but not enough of them have been released for him
00:40:52.400
to qualify so there was two national polls that came out today a couple interesting things one
00:40:57.600
steyer did not hit two percent in either one of them gabbard who's been completely screwed here by
00:41:02.620
the democratic party uh and she has a legitimate argument as to you know they just decided to count
00:41:08.240
the polls she didn't get to two percent in and not count the polls that she did get to two percent in
00:41:14.240
um she is looks like she's not going to make it either barring a flat last minute flurry of polls
00:41:20.080
it has to be released today the other interesting thing is if you remember this monmouth poll that
00:41:24.800
came out earlier this week showed a three-way tie basically with warren sanders and biden the two
00:41:29.380
national polls a credible poll yeah very good poll however it's one poll and the two polls that came
00:41:34.860
out today both also credible polls have uh biden up by 13 and 18 so it does not seem like we're at a
00:41:42.220
three-way tie right now you're listening to glenn beck
00:41:50.420
first they proposed universal free health click care including free unlimited abortions
00:41:59.880
then free college then open borders then universal basic income then the green new deal free phones
00:42:08.720
free internet free internet free cars free housing guaranteed jobs is what we're up to now
00:42:16.280
collectively over 70 trillion dollars in brand new government spending over the last over the next
00:42:25.900
10 years 70 trillion now how are we going to pay for that well don't worry the magic money fairy has
00:42:37.180
arrived it's called modern monetary theory part three in our series this week on what's the economy
00:42:46.520
doing what is washington doing what are we headed for in one minute this is the glenbeck program
00:42:55.840
you know i was thinking about my thinking about my dad and
00:43:03.020
my dad had a bad childhood growing up and um somewhere in the sound of my voice there's a
00:43:11.600
there's somebody just like that and everybody in my family for like the past five generations has been
00:43:19.340
a baker i'm just fat uh they baked and my dad worked hard and he didn't want to be like his dad my
00:43:28.760
my grandpa was uh on my dad's side was uh was a baker who made great breads and that was his art
00:43:37.360
my dad was into cake decorating and and pastries and all the things that now make me fat
00:43:43.840
but that was his dream that was his frontier my dad wanted to be the best that he could be he didn't
00:43:53.740
need to be the best in the world just the best that he could be and he took such pride in all of his baked
00:44:00.540
goods and he was on his feet all day long working in this i think almost forgotten art now where you
00:44:14.580
my dad would come home he'd have such a bad back from carrying those sacks of flour and
00:44:25.440
i wish he would have tried a pair of tecovis boots
00:44:32.840
because if you're on the on your feet all the time like i i work the studios all the studio floors are
00:44:40.020
concrete and if you're on your feet all day on concrete you know how much your feet hurt when
00:44:46.840
you get home don't have that problem all you have to do is wear a pair of tecovis they're comfortable

00:45:44.560
this week we've been talking about economics and what is happening in our country on a monday we
00:45:54.840
we looked at our economic system and situation uh and and examined the long daisy chain of just
00:46:03.080
stupid policy decisions that go against logic dating over a hundred years both republicans and
00:46:10.620
democrats then the next day the trade war with china china has created more than 50 trillion dollars
00:46:19.320
just printed 50 trillion dollars so you know all the money in the world from every country all the
00:46:26.540
currency just piled up is 60 trillion china just printed 50
00:46:35.380
we talked to you about the importance of america and how the rest of the world
00:46:41.140
is truly depending on us we looked at recessions yesterday today i want to talk to you about how
00:46:49.920
how politicians are now saying we're going to pay for everything because they're proposing all kinds
00:46:55.700
of stuff free universal health care got it free unlimited abortions got it free college got it
00:47:01.840
guaranteed jobs for all the new green deal free phones free internet free cars free housing
00:47:10.220
everything 70 trillion dollars in brand new government spending over the next 10 years brand new so
00:47:18.460
that's that's not counting all the spending we're doing on top
00:47:22.140
now how are we going to pay for it well there's this new theory and it's wonderful because it's very
00:47:31.160
modern and you know it's modern when it uses the word mart modern the modern monetary theory it's
00:47:39.580
mmt here's what it says governments never need to worry about taxes they never need to worry about
00:47:48.700
budgets and they never need to worry about deficits because governments can print as much money as it ever
00:47:55.260
needs to spend to ensure full employment zero budget shortfalls unlimited spending capacity against any need want
00:48:06.540
or desire if the government says you know what we should have that they can print the money
00:48:15.020
now does this sound logical to you in any way shape or form
00:48:22.220
you need to know about mmt because it represents the newest brightest thinking among the liberal intellectual
00:48:28.860
elites and academics it was first proposed by an economic guru warren mosler in the mid 1990s it is now
00:48:39.420
fully embraced by the left and you have some candidates talking about it on um uh on the campaign trail but
00:48:49.500
one of the leading guys who is um uh an economist at bard college said quote it's not easy to move
00:48:59.260
people overnight it's very difficult to communicate these ideas in a way people can understand but what's
00:49:05.340
more important is that the conversation has profoundly shifted we're now talking about big bold policies
00:49:11.980
that everyone used to say were pie in the sky does that sound like elizabeth warren we're talking about
00:49:18.060
something big and bold and what they're talking about is abandoning everything the world has learned
00:49:25.020
about economics and trying this new theory now you know what's crazy about this new theory is
00:49:36.540
why hasn't anyone ever thought of it before i mean it seems so simple if the government wants to buy
00:49:45.340
something don't raise taxes just print more money then that seemed great this theory of finance is so new
00:49:58.620
as we speak mmt is being modeled and taught at harvard boston college usc and
00:50:05.340
mit traditional models of government financing uh place the the power of the purse in the hands of the
00:50:14.700
people because the government has to tax and it taxes to get its income so it takes your income and you
00:50:24.460
have the control knob on government spending because you you can vote them out of office you can say no
00:50:30.780
we're not doing this now i'd like to point out that we haven't been very good at regulating
00:50:39.580
which is probably why they're now saying we can spend anything
00:50:45.500
mmt reframes the reframes the way in which governments participate in economies it completely
00:50:53.820
divorces government budgets and spending from the private economy so rather than taxing our
00:51:00.460
borrowing from the population for its income the government has an unlimited budget and it can
00:51:07.020
spend that unlimited budget in its own discretion by just printing new money anytime government leaders
00:51:14.380
determine there's a new need for spending and there you have it mmt completely new a modern way for
00:51:23.660
governments to have unlimited budget so we can have whatever we want and never pay for it
00:51:32.300
oh man am i reminded of the kipling poem gods of the copybook headings and we had plenty of money
00:51:43.020
i i i find this astounding in its stupidity so let's look at modern monetary theory because it is
00:51:57.100
riddled with logical fallacies and it completely fails even just a just a quick glance and examination
00:52:07.580
so let's start here there's nothing modern about modern monetary theory using the word modern to
00:52:15.580
describe it simply resurrects and masks the classic con how to give a government spending power outside of
00:52:23.900
the will of the people it's done by generating accounting units now this is really important what is an
00:52:30.140
accounting unit an accounting unit an accounting unit is money currency currency you give that accounting
00:52:38.620
unit value by legal declaration it's worth something that's fiat and this is it can only really be
00:52:50.460
maintained by a monopoly through the use of force there are literally dozens of historical examples of
00:52:58.860
governments using their self-granted authority to print fiat currency to pay their bills for example
00:53:07.180
i want you to know all of these have met with financial disaster but here are a few of the most
00:53:13.100
noteworthy the very first paper fiat currency in the world was created by the tang dynasty in china it was
00:53:20.780
during the 17th century a.d merchants were order under ordered under penalty of death that they had to
00:53:29.980
accept this new modern currency in trade for goods and services by 1354 the currency had reached a state
00:53:38.540
of hyperinflation such as marco polo was paid for a single suit of armor from a local lord with 18 chests
00:53:48.780
filled with valueless paper chinese currency in the 18th century france the duke of orleans and scottish
00:53:58.380
economist john law founded the um founded the bank de generale and they issued paper currency to pay off more
00:54:07.660
than three billion dollars in government death uh debt after the death of louis the 14th
00:54:13.260
within five years inflation had reached 23 per month and then 55 per month eventually the
00:54:25.100
hyperinflation had bankrupt the entire country and it led to the french revolution but don't worry about
00:54:31.980
that following world war one weimar germany faced billions in war reparation payments while simultaneously
00:54:40.300
trying to rebuild its own infrastructure they didn't have the money facing the same default versus
00:54:46.700
inflate dilemma they thought you know what we can issue fiat currency germany chose to just print paper
00:54:55.420
currency to repay its debts the result was one million percent hyperinflation the government was uh was
00:55:04.620
printing five trillion dollar mark notes within two years a dozen eggs in germany cost 800 billion marks
00:55:14.780
the resulting economic crash and depression led to the success of the national socialist party because
00:55:20.540
once you have a crash you have the opportunity to go to socialism because socialism promises to pay for
00:55:27.900
everything and in that socialist party was a crazy man called adolf hitler the other examples just to state a few
00:55:38.780
the confederate states of america world war ii france soviet russia eva perone's argentina communist vietnam
00:55:47.100
modern day greece zimbabwe venezuela do we need to go on literally every time the printing press has been
00:55:54.380
used as a means for government to pay for expenses the result has been hyperinflation and eventually a
00:56:01.980
currency default and total financial collapse there are zero let me count them again zero zero historic
00:56:11.980
examples of governments using fiat currency for deficit financing where the fiat currency doesn't end up
00:56:36.300
you know when the pioneers settled this country they had to cross west uneven swaths of land and they were
00:56:51.100
we have one sitting in uh our hallway uh in the studio our main atrium
00:56:56.220
and it's from the 1800s and i look at that every time and i think your butt had to hurt
00:57:02.300
so much can you imagine crossing the country in one of those things
00:57:06.300
your back and your butt we live in a world where you don't have to worry about any of that
00:57:13.260
i have a hard enough time with my own back i'm not riding around in a bumpy prairie all day on a wood
00:57:18.460

all right now literally every time the printing press uh has been used as a means for government
00:58:34.700
to pay the expenses and they just print money it always fails so modern monetary theory has nothing
00:58:42.380
to do with money this is really important it has everything to do with currency nothing to do
00:58:49.260
with money this is one of the logical fallacies of mmt it's the belief that governments can create
00:58:57.340
money they cannot they can print currency now aoc bernie elizabeth warren all of them they
00:59:06.220
i think maybe it's time we let them in a little secret that they don't teach on college campuses
00:59:10.220
anymore and i want you all to lean in real close okay squad are you there
00:59:16.220
governments cannot create money governments create currency currency a medium of exchange for
00:59:27.180
financial transactions currency is an accounting unit standing in for real money a unit of currency
00:59:37.820
just represents something that has real value that's what currency is instead of walking around
00:59:45.740
with a bar of gold or a bar of silver in your pocket you have one thin piece of paper it'd be hard
00:59:53.260
if we dealt in bars of gold but that paper represents something what is that well a belief that there is
01:00:05.020
actually something of value backing it up if governments could create real money
01:00:11.180
money that would be quite a magic trick wait a minute isn't that what the alchemists were trying
01:00:19.900
to do create real money create gold out of nothing if we could create real wealth none of us would ever
01:00:30.060
have to work again the problem is is that wealth creation is a process of invention risk application of
01:00:39.100
resources to generate something that has a market value wealth creation is entirely due to the effort
01:00:48.620
invention sacrifice of the people governments are not a component of wealth creation they actually are a
01:00:57.500
wealth destroyer now mmt assumes that all you need for wealth or value to exist is currency
01:01:06.700
isn't that great tell the people tell the people in weimar germany that tell the tell the tell the people in
01:01:14.380
in venezuela you got plenty of money look at that you got a trillion dollar note in your pocket
01:01:21.980
man now if currency is made available they believe people will react to the currency by selling things
01:01:33.020
goods services land and labor to the government but it's only true if the currency that they're
01:01:39.500
provided with is exchangeable for real money something of real value currency only has value as long as
01:01:47.900
people believe it can be exchanged for something of real value the moment that changes the moment the
01:01:54.940
people are like this isn't worth anything currency instantaneously stops being a representative of money
01:02:05.740
so modern monetary theory is not a theory because the theory is an unproven idea against which a process
01:02:15.660
of experience or experiments can test that hypothesis to provide empirical data which prove or disprove the
01:02:24.300
theory once a theory has been tested and it's reliably proven or disproven well then it's not a theory it
01:02:31.260
becomes a scientific or mathematical law that fits this perfectly dozens of countries hyperinflation
01:02:41.180
this isn't a modern monetary theory it's an antiquated currency law
01:02:45.740
life is so busy sometimes between family and your career who has time to you know really do all of
01:02:58.140
the hard work and heavy lifting uh when you have to find a great real estate agent how do you do it
01:03:03.660
how do you have you interviewed the real estate agents what do you ask them how do you know they're
01:03:07.900
good not all real estate agents are cut from the same cloth and i can tell you that because this this
01:03:14.380
company was built out of frustration between myself and my uh and my wife we were so fed up with the
01:03:21.580
process that we decided there's got to be a better way and through you know doing work with other
01:03:28.060
things i happen to find myself in a group of the 500 best real estate agents according to the wall street
01:03:34.620
journal in the country and i started asking them okay what makes you better than the next guy
01:03:39.820
well i found out there are a few really simple things so we put real estate agents to the test
01:03:47.580
all around the country we looked for those things we've put together a list of somebody that can help
01:03:53.420
you sell or buy your new home at real estate agents i trust dot com the best in the country
01:03:59.980
real estate agents i trust dot com christmas stories with glenn beck it's almost sold out in
01:04:05.340
salt lake city december 7th at kingsbury hall just print up some money and get your tickets today
01:04:18.060
i i want to talk to you today about um what you're hearing from the candidates so you can truly
01:04:25.580
understand they are serious about adding 70 trillion dollars of debt or spending to our bottom line over
01:04:34.940
the next 10 years 70 trillion they are also serious about changing our country fundamentally
01:04:45.580
our our bill of rights are the things that the government cannot do they want the things that the
01:04:52.300
government must do for everyone free housing guaranteed jobs uh guaranteed uh access to x y and z
01:05:04.940
free college all of these things well that costs money so how are they going to pay for it well
01:05:11.820
the first thing they're going to do is get rid of this evil capitalist system and then they're going
01:05:15.340
to start taxing people okay well i i just want you to know that's not going to be a smooth transition
01:05:23.340
you start moving away from the free market which elizabeth warren bernie sanders they're all saying it
01:05:30.860
you start moving away from a free market i mean in significant ways under the guise of global warming
01:05:42.060
the entire world is going to go down now it might reset because it's going to be so great when we just
01:05:50.140
when we just are taxing everybody and everybody's working as one such a utopian idea it's going to work
01:05:57.340
this time it will be different but what do they do because you can't raise enough tax money to pay for
01:06:04.780
the 70 million thus the modern monetary theory the theory is you governments don't have to raise taxes
01:06:15.500
they don't all they have to do is print money and it's really really simple you do that and everything
01:06:23.820
is great why even go to the people for taxes man why didn't we think of this why didn't we think of
01:06:31.180
this before so i've been going over it now let me just give you one final nail in the coffin of mmt or
01:06:38.380
as i like to call it antiquated currency law because this is a law you you you it's not a theory we've
01:06:45.740
tried this the world's tried this over and over again beginning with the chinese and ancient china
01:06:51.500
it doesn't work it never works but the final nail should be that it completely disconnects
01:07:01.340
government spending from the will of the people nobody likes taxes but taxes provide a check
01:07:08.220
against a runaway government spending and what they're spending it on if they don't have to come
01:07:14.540
to you do you think we're gonna have a they're gonna have a problem funding things that you don't want
01:07:21.500
now that's the last failure the logical fallacy that mmt advocates in a in a notion of in their
01:07:30.940
notion of things runaway inflation can be mitigated because if inflation starts to get out of control
01:07:37.660
the government can reduce government currency spending and or raise taxes to remove currency from
01:07:44.460
the circulation thereby fighting inflation it is it is not a surprise that it is academics who came up with this
01:07:53.900
because academics have absolutely no connection to the real world their idea is that if printing trillions of
01:08:02.860
dollars in new currency to pay for health care abortions the green new deal guaranteed jobs guaranteed houses free
01:08:10.460
free education results in inflation well the government will just stop paying for those social programs and raise taxes
01:08:20.140
in what kind of bizarro fantasy alternate universe world do these people live in
01:08:26.380
ivory tower crackpots like this are the ones who gave us post-modernist ideas like gender fluidity
01:08:33.500
and toxic masculinity syndrome but in the real world politicians do not stop paying for social programs
01:08:42.540
why because they're human beings who want to stay in power they definitely don't cut those services while
01:08:49.100
raising taxes that's the reason why there are no instances of mmt actually working in the real world
01:08:56.220
you don't have to live in a theoretical laboratory where human politicians are replaced by robots and voters
01:09:03.580
completely understand why their health care why their health care gets cut off
01:09:08.620
it's also the reason why academics should never be involved in real world policy making
01:09:15.340
the founders of our nation they knew this they were lawyers they were farmers they were preachers
01:09:21.900
preachers they were soldiers they were inventors they were merchants they'd seen the hyperinflation in france in
01:09:29.980
the 18th century which is why fiat paper currency is strictly prohibited in the constitution
01:09:37.820
money not currency money was legally defined as being gold or silver
01:09:44.860
and this modern monetary theory or sorry the antiquated currency law is among the more obvious
01:09:53.420
asinine and foolhardy ideas to be resurrected in a long long time the germans called it emergency
01:10:00.780
spending in france it was called royal checks in the confederate states it was called independence notes
01:10:13.580
fortunately we're living in a time where a wave of socialism is looking for ways to pay over 70
01:10:19.740
trillion dollars in new social and environmental programs promised by politicians running against trump in 2020
01:10:27.340
we're so fortunate because maybe just maybe we're going to be able to be the ones to prove mmt wrong again
01:10:37.820
it's a terrible idea but one looking for politicians stupid and desperate enough to put it in place
01:10:47.100
against a spending plan that requires unlimited funds they're going to do it unless you're informed
01:10:56.620
you know what's coming you know what how really this system works you know as we explained on tuesday
01:11:04.940
how much the world is relying on us because this isn't working anywhere else but here and it's barely working here
01:11:14.620
but the rest of these countries all over the world are invested in our stock market and in our treasury bonds
01:11:25.100
if we screw around with our economy and we fundamentally change things in our economy
01:11:33.900
i warn you the world will be plunged into darkness
01:11:57.260
somewhere right now maybe in your neighborhood there's a burglar he's a man of fine taste this
01:12:01.980
burglar he wouldn't mind helping himself to your television or your laptop oh that x-box you brought
01:12:08.060
for your kid at christmas before she decided what she really wanted was a playstation oh that is
01:12:13.900
perfect all that sweet cash you have so cleverly hidden behind the portrait of your aunt on the wall
01:12:20.220
yes yes that's going to be the first thing he finds he knows as well as you do that most successful
01:12:26.380
burglaries take about 15 minutes start to finish and he'll take those odds unless of course he sees
01:12:34.140
that you have a simply safe system in place and turned on for 15 a month with no contract or hidden
01:12:41.020
fees and no fine print simply safe provides the round-the-clock monitoring with state-of-the-art
01:12:46.940
equipment that should scare a burglar friend away for good but if he decides to break in
01:12:51.900
other houses that will immediately dial police have police responding within 45 minutes but because
01:12:59.740
simply safe has video verification technology when this alarm is tripped they know it's not a false
01:13:06.700
alarm and they cut that time to seven minutes simply safe huge deal going on right now simply safe
01:13:14.540
beck.com get a free hd security camera when you order that's a hundred dollar value get your free hd
01:13:20.860
security camera and now it's simply safe beck.com that's s-i-m-p-l-i safe beck.com simply safe beck.com
01:13:41.740
uh stew can do you have any idea what boris johnson did yesterday i i don't follow the the uh
01:13:49.660
i don't understand the parliamentary system at all i think what happens is they have a queen
01:13:54.700
she says oh yes you need to form a government and then all these people get together in a room they
01:14:00.460
yell at each other for a while the one that can either yell the loudest or stand the the yelling
01:14:06.620
the longest becomes prime minister and he's like who wants to yell on my side now it's as if you're
01:14:13.740
reading directly from their constitution as you described that's exactly how it works you know
01:14:18.780
yeah that's that's my basic american understanding of this yesterday he said that he is going to the
01:14:24.780
queen to ask her to disband parliament for a while yeah i mean this happens a lot in parliamentary
01:14:31.980
systems and i don't but i don't i don't like the system as we've discussed before i think america came
01:14:37.180
up with a like we have our issues but it seems like things but the president just can't go you know
01:14:42.860
what we're closing congress down i'm tired of listening to them whine yeah it's like the
01:14:46.380
equivalent of a pop quiz like you walk in and they're like a pop election and all of a sudden
01:14:50.780
everyone has to go back to the polls and come up with a whole new government um so right but he's not
01:14:55.500
he's saying that he's not going for another election he said there won't be another popular vote which is
01:15:00.780
he just wants yeah i know he just wants to uh shut down parliament for a while uh because they're
01:15:08.620
obstructing the people's will uh to get out of uh of um the eu and he said they're just yeah you
01:15:18.540
see all these things sort of happen in our system as well when there's you know politicians will use
01:15:23.660
these sort of weird you know little mechanisms to try to get a larger thing done it seems like the the
01:15:30.780
larger thing boris johnson is trying to get done is there's this october 31st deadline for for the hard
01:15:36.300
brexit and he believes i think correctly that the government is going to try to do everything
01:15:42.940
they can before that deadline to erase it so he's using his parliamentary maneuvers to attempt to
01:15:52.540
essentially put a gap in there where they can't do anything about it uh giving and it's it's totally
01:15:57.980
constitutional for them oh yeah yeah this is totally constant and it has been done before
01:16:02.620
yeah so he's just trying to honor what the actual people of the country said they wanted to do
01:16:10.220
legally and everyone else that seems you know hell-bent on making sure you know they they let
01:16:16.860
the people know that they know better than them and the government knows better that they don't
01:16:21.340
understand what they've done and we're gonna fix it for you give us more time to fix it for you and
01:16:26.060
boris johnson is just saying look you guys voted for this this is what you wanted this is what we all
01:16:30.060
talked about we all knew this was part of the the possibility of this happening and you know if we
01:16:35.180
keep backing up we're you know backing up and backing up and backing up we're never going to get a better
01:16:39.260
deal from the eu so uh you know it may very well be a hard brexit but that is something that was known
01:16:46.700
to be a risk when this vote occurred and will not be as horrific as everyone makes it out to be as it
01:16:52.220
never is wow um coming up we have uh the story of the woman who was dumped uh for ilan omar her
01:17:02.460
husband left her for ilan omar it's an amazing story if we have time i've got to get to the
01:17:07.580
palestinian story yesterday this came out i think like at 7 30 last night and uh all kinds of alerts
01:17:14.460
go off on my uh on my tablet and i'm like what's happening oh it's just that the state department has
01:17:20.300
erased the palestinian authority and palestinian territories from all of our official documents
01:17:26.540
and i i guess maps or whatever i don't know but they've they've just taken all of that stuff off
01:17:33.740
and uh that's kind of creating some concern with the people who are you know with the palestinians
01:17:41.420
that they're like wait what what just happened state department immediately issued said no no
01:17:50.700
well you're not recognizing the palestinian authority at all you're not recognizing palestinian
01:17:57.100
territory uh that seems like a change in position because everybody else has been doing that
01:18:05.660
and uh we're going to look into that and what that means that i mean that's one ballsy move one real
01:18:11.660
ballsy move and it speculation is is that they have uh you know we we keep asking them to come to
01:18:21.340
to the table and do a two-state solution and they never ever do it i mean israel offered them a few
01:18:28.220
years ago absolutely everything that they say they were asking for and their own sovereignty okay two-state
01:18:36.060
two-state solution no they don't want that they want a one-state solution and they you know in their
01:18:42.220
charter they talk about that this will only happen when we destroy israel well then okay then you're not
01:18:49.820
dealing honestly so we're not gonna we're not we're gonna call it what it is and it's not your territory
01:18:56.380
they want this talking point too right they want this victim status they want it to exist forever
01:19:01.740
i mean it's a very disingenuous ask and it always is the same thing that happened when they said you
01:19:06.380
know what what we need here is that we need donald trump to come out and denounce white nationalism
01:19:12.620
we need him to do that after the shootings uh in el paso and so the next day he's out there
01:19:17.500
because he's i mean look he's denounced white nationalism several times he comes out and does
01:19:21.340
it again and then it's like well first of all too late too little and and next i mean look at all the
01:19:26.860
other stuff he hasn't done how come he hasn't done anything on guns how come he hasn't done anything
01:19:30.140
on this how come there was never a moment in which they cared if he actually came out and denounced
01:19:35.100
white nationalism that that wasn't part of it it was just what is the next thing we can beg for him to do
01:19:41.020
if he does it we'll just act like we never asked for it it would just act as if it was nothing we'll
01:19:46.380
just move on to our next complaint move the goalposts a little bit further and this is just a strategy
01:19:52.620
that has been well defined by the palestinian authority over a very long period of time
01:19:58.860
i also have a uh a monologue on the opioid crisis and the don draper of the opioid crisis the history of
01:20:09.500
of of uh oxycontin it it's pretty phenomenal when you when you learn the history of it which by the
01:20:17.100
way uh you know came from germany we're all good scientific things come from uh germany around the
01:20:25.340
around the time of the weimar republic so nothing weird was going on there you know eugenics or anything
01:20:31.580
else uh and it is it for some it is a life-saving drug others it is scourge of the earth and people
01:20:41.580
who are truly suffering uh from pain that they just can't live with they're the ones that are going to
01:20:47.420
pay the price for this we have that coming up if if if we have time we just it's sophie's choice today
01:20:54.220
which story gets on the show one of those three for sure when we come back
01:21:08.220
uh it is the last hour and we've got a great hour lined up for you we're going to start with
01:21:23.820
elon elmar in just a second i want to tell you about um relief factor relief factor really plays a
01:21:29.580
role when i'm here at the ranch um we're up at about 7 000 feet and um and i have a problem with
01:21:37.500
altitude that's why it's hard for me to fly and everything else um it causes great pain for me
01:21:44.300
it is totally changed my life you can you know how i'm feeling by the amount of time i spend at the
01:21:52.780
ranch there was like two years ago i said to my wife i think we're gonna have to sell it i don't
01:21:57.660
know if i can go up into the mountains anymore the relief factor has changed my life if you have pain
01:22:03.740
that is debilitating please just try it you'll you'll be out 20 bucks if it doesn't work but that is the
01:22:10.300
best 20 bucks you could possibly ever spend because if it does work your life comes back relief factor
01:22:17.420
dot com 800-500-8384 800-500-8384 it's relieffactor.com
01:23:11.740
why my husband was sleeping with the harlot from minnesota
01:23:19.500
why i just never seen anything like it my husband was being paid lots of money i don't
01:23:28.220
know if it's for his performance because he is rather robust in bed but he professed his love
01:23:38.780
for elan omar that story and what's behind it in one minute
01:23:48.780
all right been talking to you a lot about the american economy the last couple of days right
01:24:00.940
now things are still pretty good hopefully they stay that way for a while a recession is coming at
01:24:06.220
some point and possible catastrophic disaster is around the corner but breathe deeply
01:24:14.940
for the moment things are okay interest mortgage interest the rates are at an all-time low
01:24:24.060
if you are a homeowner now is the time to consolidate your high interest debt into a mortgage at a much
01:24:32.380
lower rate you could save hundreds maybe even thousand a thousand dollars or more every single month
01:24:38.620
you really need to do the responsible things right now and and i'll tell you the people
01:24:47.740
that i trust in fact they're doing this with me i'm i'm in the middle of doing this with americanfinancing.net
01:24:53.340
i have trusted them for a very long time they customize the loan for you so they find the
01:25:00.220
right one for you to meet what you're trying to do they'll advise you in fact they they turn people
01:25:06.460
down um not because they don't qualify for a loan but because they want to do something that's they
01:25:12.140

01:26:15.100
so divorce papers have now been followed uh been filed in washington dc and uh the wife and mom
01:26:27.340
says her political consultant husband left her for representative ilan omar
01:26:34.700
she's a doctor um she says her cheating spouse tim minette told her in april
01:26:40.460
i'm having an affair with a somali-born u.s representative i'm not going to tell you who
01:26:47.420
but she's somali-born she's a u.s representative
01:26:52.380
she's from minnesota and you probably can't figure it out but uh i love her i love her
01:27:01.020
so he told her and then he ditched her what'd you say stew
01:27:05.580
i like your the character that is i've never heard the person speak and i kind of like the way you've
01:27:12.140
made him uh sound i'm sure that's how he sounds why though there's no real reason you're this guy
01:27:19.580
he sounds like the guy who's saying ilan omar in the song which i don't know if that's i don't know
01:27:25.260
that's coincidental i'm in love with ilan omar yeah okay i like it uh so anyway so she's a physician
01:27:33.660
she's 55 uh he's 38 that has nothing to do with it that has nothing to do with it 55 i always wanted
01:27:43.180
i when i was a teenager i said i want to be married to a 55 year old woman uh so it's a dream come true
01:27:50.700
but uh has nothing to do with that mm-hmm so they have a 13 year old son together uh and uh
01:27:59.020
uh uh he works as a left-wing uh democratic supporter he is uh he works now for omar
01:28:07.740
oh yeah i'm working for it uh he works for omar and he also coincidentally worked for keith ellison
01:28:17.420
which is what a coincidence you know seriously so those are you know socialists run in packs
01:28:28.220
and they they pool the same resources uh and if you're allegedly stealing money or allegedly doing
01:28:39.340
something you know on the side i don't know what you're talking about i just love her you have to
01:28:46.460
get creative and you have to make connections without chocobardi sank from the uh what's its uh face the
01:28:55.180
the young turks the young turks the uh genocidal people that killed 1.8 million uh innocent uh
01:29:01.500
citizens it's a well no the organization named after that yeah okay got it um without without
01:29:07.420
chocobardi sank wouldn't have been able to co-found justice democrats and without those two
01:29:13.180
aoc's boyfriend would have lost out on thousands wait a minute
01:29:17.340
now there are two socialists that i've been keeping my eye on you know one of them is a squad
01:29:24.620
member ilan omar and the other one is the former congressman turned minnesota a minnesota attorney
01:29:30.940
general keith ellison it's kind of creepy uh the number of things they share including oh yeah
01:29:40.540
including omar's new squeeze well i just don't know why you keep referring he is a squeeze though
01:29:50.940
isn't he they've both represented the same district they both had tax problems they both had campaign
01:29:57.340
finance problems i know it's shocking that all these socialists are having tax problems and campaign
01:30:02.620
finance violations because they hate that stuff um we've covered omar's tax and campaign finance
01:30:08.380
problems at length but it's curious how her predecessor keith ellison was busted for exactly
01:30:15.500
the same problems well i mean keith ellison didn't marry his brother that we know of anyway when when
01:30:25.020
ellison was state representative he was busted for having 25 000 in unpaid taxes omar got nailed for
01:30:31.580
filing joint taxes with a man that wasn't her husband her brother ellison just didn't pay any
01:30:36.860
omar was caught using campaign funds for personal use but several years earlier the attorney general
01:30:43.100
now of minnesota the same state now that elan omar ran in sued ellison twice for campaign finance
01:30:50.220
violations they each apparently have the same love in their life they love cheating the irs they they
01:30:57.740
love bending campaign finance laws and they're both in love with the same man tim minette elan omar
01:31:08.380
last week the daily may uh daily mail released the uh video uh of omar is actually a couple of weeks
01:31:16.220
ago exiting the restaurant in california with tim tim minette and they were talking about how they were
01:31:22.780
you know oh they were snuggling and they were rubbing noses like eskimos cultural appropriation
01:31:29.740
they were holding hands they were acting like a couple and it doesn't matter i don't care about any of
01:31:34.700
this i don't care if they want to you know they want to romp like little bunnies let them i don't care
01:31:50.460
the smoke is covering what i think is the real fire and it isn't the fire love
01:32:01.180
minette has a work history that shows he's a current partner at a progressive strategies company
01:32:07.900
called east street group now what do they do well i don't know if you go and look up progressive
01:32:16.220
strategies and east street group you're going to come to a website that has a single page that tells
01:32:22.380
you nothing it doesn't even have a contact there's no way it doesn't have an email address or a phone
01:32:29.100
number nothing it just says accepting new clients by referral only so in other words you gotta know a guy
01:32:37.020
because i know a guy you know a guy i know a guy he can put you in touch with these guys okay
01:32:45.740
so i don't think he's worried too much about advertising uh you know for new clients because
01:32:50.460
he has hit the mother load with alana mar since alon's already been dinged for campaign finance
01:32:59.260
violations we decided to check out the fec records to find out if there was any unusual activity
01:33:05.420
between omar and minette well omar's campaign has dished out over a quarter of a million dollars
01:33:12.780
over the past 12 months to her new alleged boyfriend right i mean you think i like chicks from
01:33:20.860
somalia no she's got cash uh-huh now here's the weird thing i mean if that wasn't weird enough
01:33:30.860
he he gets paid in multiple five-figure payments every single month if you look at february of
01:33:40.540
this last year twelve thousand dollars they wrote a check to him on the seventh fifteen thousand on the
01:33:47.900
19th 24 000 on the 21st and the payments include everything from absolutely not vague at all descriptions
01:34:10.140
now you know maybe my internal clock is a little messed up but but isn't the 2018 election over
01:34:19.500
what should what could she possibly be getting from this guy you don't want to know what could she
01:34:25.900
possibly be getting from this guy where she's writing 250 000 checks
01:34:36.940
now this year elan omar raised about 1.4 million that means out of everything that she has raised
01:34:47.580
she's given him a quarter of everything usually you know you'll get a bonus or you'll get paid a
01:34:54.940
percentage but it's not 25 percent i could see giving him you know that kind of money if you know he
01:35:05.260
helped raise 10 million dollars but 1.4 the math doesn't end up it doesn't add up and this kind of
01:35:13.500
spending is unusual for congressmen especially freshman congressmen if you look at dan crenshaw his fec
01:35:21.260
filings he hasn't spent more than 1600 for a single payment the entire year there is one entry for fundraising
01:35:31.180
consulting he wrote a check for 130 dollars 130 dollars omar spent a quarter of a million
01:35:50.300
something's weird i mean that's a lot of exotic oils or i don't know i'm just saying quarter of a
01:35:59.420
million dollars now before my net met omar he was employed by keith ellison
01:36:06.460
this is the democratic congressional campaign committee uh labeling my not as ellison's main
01:36:14.940
point of contact and his national finance director now it's really weird that my not when you look at
01:36:22.940
his resume doesn't reference ellison at all you look at his linkedin page no keith ellison no i i have no i
01:36:31.900
he was also while he was the campaign finance director for ellison he was also the head of his
01:36:42.140
own company the minette group and like elan omar ellison pays this guy a lot tim minette was ellison's third
01:36:52.380
highest paid expenditure over the past two years 174 000 in 2018 this seems like a wreck a racket
01:37:04.780
his fec filings look identical to elan omar's nine thousand dollar payments every month going all the
01:37:10.620
way back to 2015 in 2014 ellison paid my not 92 000 and this was during the same period when my net was
01:37:20.300
working for working on ellison's staff so is there a racket going on here with with fundraising consulting
01:37:29.020
is this big business and if it is a racket what's going on
01:37:39.820
there's a lot of money that is changing hands and this money has they've tried to hide
01:37:50.860
this money they put in these um in these uh you know uh what do you call them still those front
01:38:00.780
you know the packs the money came from a pack so you give your money and you're like i want to give
01:38:08.140
elan omar money and then you're like i want to give her even more but the law won't let me so i'm going
01:38:14.940
going to give it to a pack that pack strangely is the one that is paying his salary he works directly
01:38:30.780
something is wrong with elan omar something is wrong with keith ellison and tim might not
01:38:38.620
uh i'm sorry i mean he might be okay in bed i don't know but that's not what's causing this love
01:38:48.940
affair there's something deeper oh deeper deeper well we will go there deeper into their love affair
01:39:12.380
i want to tell you about a guy in our audience his name is bill he's a farmer he was a a member of
01:39:17.500
that hallowed staple of american industry for over 40 years and he would go up in the morning and he
01:39:23.660
wouldn't come back until sundown and it really made him happy as he likes to tell people he figured on
01:39:30.940
farming uh that he was going to be out there with the soil until the the day he died but somewhere
01:39:37.580
along the line the pain began to set in his knees his wrists mostly some days he just hurt all over
01:39:44.780
and the time came when he thought i'm gonna have to kiss my life goodbye i love farming i don't know
01:39:52.860
why these guys do but they do they love it then bill heard about relief factor and he decided i'm
01:40:01.580
going to spend the 20 bucks and see if it works because if not i gotta i gotta get out of farming
01:40:07.580
after only a couple of weeks bill was back in the saddle both literally and figuratively
01:40:13.500
it changes people's lives it has mine relief factor is a great way to reduce the inflammation
01:40:19.340
that causes pain it works for 70 of those people who try it relief factor is not a drug for 1995 you
01:40:27.340
can get a three-week quick start now that's not a lot uh to see just if you can improve the quality of
01:40:34.460
your life because if it works you get your life back if you want a drug-free natural way to ease your
01:40:41.900
pain to get your life back go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com we pause for 10 seconds station id
01:40:51.900
and then you're what was the voice of the guy who i don't know i don't know i'm not your trained little
01:41:17.740
no i i don't perform when you throw me a peanut they don't do it um well uh yeah are you interested
01:41:24.940
in hearing the new update to the biden gaff montage which continually expands at a rate even faster than
01:41:31.820
you and i uh this is a and that is saying something because my waistline is expanding like crazy do we
01:41:40.860
have enough time for this or to make sure we just play a short clip here uh can we get a ruling from the
01:41:45.340
we have time all right let's do the biden gaff montage here here we go and the other thing we
01:41:48.860
should do is we should challenge these students we should challenge students in these schools to
01:41:53.260
have advanced placement programs in these schools we have this notion that somehow if you're poor
01:41:58.220
you cannot do it poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids wealthy kids black
01:42:05.900
kids i really mean but think how we think about it we choose unity over division we choose science over
01:42:13.180
fiction what else we choose truth over facts and so folks if you're interested join me i could use
01:42:21.020
the hell because we must must defeat this president to change the trajectory of this country when the
01:42:28.860
kids from parkland marched up to and i i i met with them and then they went off to up on the hill when
01:42:33.980
i was vice president they went off the hill to go into those neighborhoods all those congressmen were
01:42:37.980
like no i'm not here i'm not here just like in my generation when i got out of school that uh
01:42:44.460
when bobby kennedy and dr king had been assassinated in the 70s late 70s i got engaged my long time
01:42:52.140
friend and she's a friend she's been my friend in and out of public life there were 40 kids shot in
01:42:57.820
kent state on a beautiful lawn that's a lot and that's for god we should set up a system as i propose
01:43:02.780
which i will put if i'm elected president okay that allows the folks at hh the the folks at health
01:43:09.580
and uh the the health department yeah okay in the united states hhs right huh that's the latest the
01:43:17.100
last this is there we're adding like two of these a day yeah it's getting crazy yeah all of those by
01:43:24.300
the way are just from the last few weeks on the campaign trail yeah we make sure to not include you
01:43:27.980
know the old school stuff that you know oh so well it's getting to the point that where i think you know
01:43:32.220
biden is a was has always been sort of a fun gaffe machine and some of these just are starting to get
01:43:38.140
sad like they're they're right they're really they're making you i never said this about with
01:43:43.900
his gaffe machine i just always thought he's just unhinged it's starting when he's like h yeah
01:43:52.540
health department he just he's sounding sad confused and it's it's kind of hard to watch more in a minute
01:44:05.900
this is the glenbeck program we've all heard the phrase the rising tide lifts all bolts well in the
01:44:15.820
financial world throughout history even to this day that rising tide is represented by gold gold is a
01:44:23.900
great protection against inflation it is a solid investment that you can sink your teeth into
01:44:29.260
pardon the pardon the pun i i i like to use the example of a suit to explain money
01:44:37.980
as gold and currency as something made up if you were to buy a nice suit in the 1880s you might pay
01:44:46.300
20 bucks where today you walk into a store and you gotta dish out a thousand bucks but a thousand dollars worth of
01:44:54.220
gold in 1888 is the same as a thousand dollars worth of gold today so you could walk in with a
01:45:02.060
twenty dollar gold piece and you could buy a suit you can walk in with a twenty dollar gold piece today
01:45:07.020
and buy a giorgio armani that's on a bull run this year please batten down the hatches consider gold
01:45:15.580

01:45:41.420
hey welcome to it we're uh we're glad you're here um we want to talk a little bit about the uh
01:45:46.780
mystery of the space drone i think we're going to have to move the state department removing all
01:45:51.580
mention of palestinian authority and palestinian uh uh occupied lands um probably for tomorrow
01:46:00.940
because i want to first start with what's happening in the polls it's really interesting what's going on
01:46:05.900
today's the last day to qualify to be able to be in the democratic uh the next democratic debate and you
01:46:12.060
have to have 130 000 uh individual donations and you also have to have at least two percent in the
01:46:19.820
polls but they're picking and choosing which polls which is kind of interesting did you know in advance
01:46:25.340
stew did they were they told in advance which polls they had to be good in it does seem like you know
01:46:32.380
they did give you a list of the polls however the list is bizarre and the person who's making the
01:46:38.940
biggest stink about this is tulsi gabbard and she has a really good argument on this uh basically
01:46:45.100
the way that they have done this is 130 000 individual donors so it has to be individual
01:46:49.900
donors and 14 13 candidates have hit that threshold um all the big ones and then it's kind of the
01:46:56.460
smaller ones like um marianne williamson has hit that uh tom steyer the billionaire who spent a lot
01:47:02.700
of money to get those donations tulsi gabbard you know and people like andrew yang and castro
01:47:07.740
and klobuchar and o'rourke have all hit that so they've hit that you have to hit both uh clear
01:47:13.420
both hurdles though the other one is four polls at two percent or more in either national or early
01:47:20.540
states and they have to be among the approved list of the democrats so gabbard has hit as their campaign
01:47:29.340
says they have hit two percent in 26 different polls in this time period however only two of them
01:47:36.780
have counted so they now 26 is a big number they're throwing out there however they have some really
01:47:43.980
some of them are like internet polls not like unscientific internet internet polls but there's
01:47:48.220
a panel polls and sometimes they they wouldn't be included for good reasons but there have been two
01:47:52.700
polls that she got two percent in um one was uh the boston globe poll which is the newspaper with
01:47:59.820
the largest uh distribution in new hampshire one of the early states and uh the post and courier
01:48:06.860
which is the largest distribution of a newspaper in south carolina another one of the early states
01:48:12.620
both of those polls for unknown reasons are just not okay with the democratic party she hit
01:48:18.140
two percent in both of those polls and would qualify if it was not for this weird restriction
01:48:23.180
there's other i don't think that they i'm not saying that they're changing them to you know get
01:48:28.220
people out intentionally targeting people because i don't know but they don't want her they don't you
01:48:34.700
know the democrats they do not want her i think that's true i don't think they did it intentionally i
01:48:39.260
think it's just it is incompetence they couldn't have known she was going to hit it in these polls it's
01:48:43.580
just an obvious problem in that she was she's pulled well enough in all these other places
01:48:48.380
um and you know like for example there are you gov is a polling outfit that does polls in conjunction
01:48:55.180
with various different organizations um one of the you gov polls is included and counts as a qualifying
01:49:03.900
poll however you gov does polls in conjunction with the economist a well-respected publication
01:49:10.860
there's no reason that the poll would be any lower quality well uh those polls don't count and
01:49:16.700
gabbard has hit two percent in two polls done by you gov slash economist but you gov the other you gov
01:49:23.260
poll that is included she didn't get two percent so it was not included so it's really been i mean
01:49:27.740
look it's an imperfect process at some level it's hard to do but uh they have not done a good job as
01:49:33.580
you would expect uh i will tell you this tulsi gabbard is probably maybe one i don't know how
01:49:43.420
many of them i would actually trust but she's at least one that i uh you know we could we could elect
01:49:51.740
her i wouldn't vote for her but if if if she was elected i would be like okay well she doesn't hate
01:49:57.740
the country and she's not crazy some of her policies are crazy but you know she loves the
01:50:03.340
country she was in the military she doesn't she doesn't believe everything about this country is
01:50:08.620
bad that's that's something that's rare in the democratic party it is very well and and to this
01:50:15.260
point you know as she's needed these polls to qualify for these debates she's been on you know
01:50:20.300
back serving the country again and not campaigning i know which is pretty it actually made me really
01:50:25.740
like her yeah when she went back to serve for two weeks she had to do a two-week tour of duty
01:50:30.540
and i thought i like that she didn't try to get out of it she you know i don't think that appeals to
01:50:36.460
the democrats but it it speaks volumes about her character yeah i really like the two that are most
01:50:42.780
popular among conservatives in the democratic field are probably gabbard and yang uh they're like
01:50:48.780
yang too and they both have sort of different views i would say than the the typical uh democrat
01:50:55.660
though views that are way outside what i would be comfortable voting for or even coming close
01:51:00.060
to it oh my gosh no but i wouldn't i i would i would at least have some hope that we weren't going
01:51:06.940
to be destroyed by some theory from 1930 you know what i mean right uh you know yang is smart enough to
01:51:14.300
be looking forward uh and uh and everybody else is just like well i don't know what's wrong with
01:51:21.580
stalin right um another part of this glenn it tom steyer who is a billionaire spent all this money
01:51:29.100
trying to get the president impeached built a giant email list then decided to run for president he spent
01:51:34.300
millions of dollars in ads in early states figuring he can hit he can affect the polls most in these
01:51:40.220
smaller states uh bigger bang for the buck and he can get as long as he gets over two percent in the
01:51:46.780
polls in these early state polls he can qualify for the debate the problem is they just haven't
01:51:51.100
released enough of these early state polls so he hit three polls very early but has not been able
01:51:56.140
to get this fourth poll and unless a surprise one comes out before the end of the night he's not going
01:51:59.820
to get in and part of this problem here is that if you're going to say polling is an issue if you're
01:52:05.500
going to make polling one of the qualifying aspects to get into the democratic primary there has to be
01:52:11.500
polls in these early states like nevada is the third state that is going to be voting and there
01:52:17.340
has basically been no good polling that has come out of the state in months and so if you're going to
01:52:22.940
make polling one of the qualifiers you either have to uh you know get your own polls you have to go out
01:52:30.540
there and actually start your own poll and and pay for it so that these polls come out or you have to uh
01:52:37.900
include more of these polls you have to say some more are qualifying um because it really does wind
01:52:43.300
up screwing these candidates at the bottom the big takeaway though from all of this is that it looks
01:52:48.660
like unless something changes at the very last minute that there will be there will only be one
01:52:53.720
debate there will not be the two night thing that we've seen so far there will be one debate for
01:52:57.900
democrats 10 candidates i don't know i mean i'm torn on that one again i don't really care what's good
01:53:02.760
for democrats but also um the other part of it is i think a a debate that was split between 11
01:53:09.020
candidates over two nights you might actually get a little bit more out of like you have a candidate
01:53:13.300
yeah i guess you're right i get yeah i guess you're right on that yeah you're right on that
01:53:17.860
this is too many for one debate um five and one night six on another you might actually get a little
01:53:23.860
bit of substance out of these people instead of just constant uh you know bumper stickers but then
01:53:29.860
again i mean you know very few of them seem to have the ability to talk at any length on these
01:53:34.400
topics they they do seem to be bumper sticker generators uh you know what's interesting is is is
01:53:40.700
is tom's uh what's his name uh sire he is he's more detrimental uh than the coke brothers were
01:53:51.900
um he's just not known he's as big if not bigger currently than than soros isn't he
01:53:58.940
uh democratic yeah he probably is i mean again the coke brothers i think did a lot of really good
01:54:03.440
things too and one of them just passed away no i know that but i yeah i mean you know the coke
01:54:07.800
brothers were the you know the most evil presented as evil right right oh yeah and they were they were
01:54:13.580
funding people on the left as well they were not conservatives they aren't conservatives no um and yet
01:54:20.420
they were booed when you know david died uh and people cheered for uh for his death and you know
01:54:29.820
you don't even know the name tom steyer yeah you know most people don't even know he is as big as soros
01:54:37.500
this is unfortunate for tom because he really wants people to know his name now uh he's running for
01:54:42.080
president of the united states so you need to have some recognition he dumped a lot of money i mean
01:54:46.320
you know i i would assume that no uh one in this audience uh put themselves through the torture of
01:54:53.140
ever turning on msnbc but unfortunately it's part of our job and if you go you watch msnbc for 10
01:54:59.040
minutes you'd see at least one or two commercials from tom steyer saying it's time to impeach the
01:55:04.040
president the guy spent 10 you know millions of dollars he says he's going to spend a hundred
01:55:07.740
million dollars of his own money in this campaign to try to win it he has shown up at three and four
01:55:13.320
percent in some of these polls and because of all of his money you have to take him seriously though
01:55:18.920
i don't know that there's really any grounds over if he's not in this one right no i and this is one
01:55:24.860
of the weird things and you'll see this play out i think this debate entry is probably the least
01:55:29.360
important of all of them and the reason for that is the um the third and fourth debate the one that's
01:55:35.220
coming up here in september and then in one and i believe it's in october they have the exact same
01:55:40.360
uh qualification standards so if you have 130 000 donations now you've already cleared the the next
01:55:46.760
debate hurdle and also the the polls that counted for this debate will also count for the next one
01:55:53.000
so if you are at three like tom steyer is he only needs one more before the next deadline to get to
01:55:58.780
four so likely there will be more people in the next debate not less uh so you'll have 10 in this one
01:56:04.400
most likely you'll probably get to 12 13 maybe even 14 uh for the next debate and if you miss this one
01:56:13.260
but you're in the next one i don't know how much that really hurts you as long as you're in one of
01:56:17.420
the two if you're if you're at that point like seth moulton who whose campaign we lost recently glenn
01:56:22.880
where you can't get into any of the debates or mike gravel whose campaign we also sadly tragically lost
01:56:29.660
and i and we lost him before anybody knew who they were i know that's the saddest part you know
01:56:36.380
mike gravel sure his last day in government was the day ronald reagan was inaugurated but why couldn't
01:56:41.700
say it again say it again his last day with a government job was the day ronald reagan was
01:56:47.760
inaugurated uh but yeah sure he should be running was he 12 when he was uh no he's just 89 now
01:56:55.200
so 89 years old and he couldn't catch on he does something it's stunning glenn i think it's ageism i
01:57:04.600
you know what i do i think i think that you know these democrats are such ageists i know they only
01:57:11.080
want someone in their high 70s they will not go into the 80s and that's at least until if unless
01:57:16.180
biden wins and then runs for re-election then they'll be fine with the 80s but as of right now
01:57:20.400
i don't think that this is i mean this sincerely watching joe biden decay in public is sad it's
01:57:30.580
really truly sad yeah uh and uh he i just don't think he's i mean you know they're already saying
01:57:38.700
donald trump we need to have a psychological evaluation joe biden yeah joe biden maybe not
01:57:44.700
today but he is decaying in front of our own eyes and uh that's something that we probably should you
01:57:52.200
know every year just say hey uh yeah have you found yourself walking outside of the white house
01:57:59.220
wondering who you were and why you're in this strange building yeah it's weird i mean yes you
01:58:06.180
see him he looks tired often that's something you never get from donald trump remember trump is in his
01:58:10.680
70s too it's not like trump is i know it's crazy but he never seems like he's tired in public
01:58:15.400
um biden on the other hand is and he seems to be slipping and his style is not conducive to the
01:58:22.500
slipping like if you picture like picture barack obama at 78 years old he's a slow deliberate speaker
01:58:30.040
uh he does a lot of speeches is on prompter all the time that person as you slip a little bit you can
01:58:37.200
kind of get away with it for longer joe biden's kind of an off-the-cuff guy he speaks rapidly
01:58:42.420
he's he's always been gaffe prone but this is more of like he's missing words and sentences
01:58:48.580
he's just can't remember he can't remember things i mean it is sad and i don't i don't know if he's
01:58:54.120
going to be able to pull it off as soon as the democrats say to themselves no longer is he the
01:58:59.280
most electable because we see him slipping he's out that's the problem he'll he'll fall off a cliff if
01:59:04.980
the democrats decide that because i don't think they really like him no they just they'll tolerate
01:59:09.800
him because he was an icon on the left for a while but he's not the new left no uh and they just think
01:59:15.980
he can win it they think yeah the minute they think he can't win uh he's done he's done all right back
01:59:22.800
in just a second um so what is as bad as having to constantly fluff your pillow throughout the night
01:59:29.100
well i can think of a a few things um being hung as a you know a horse thief would be bad uh living
01:59:40.120
next to a nuclear power plant and the plane drive flies into it that would be bad but other than that
01:59:46.060
really you know not much not much it's the worst okay being locked in a refrigerator in the shining
01:59:54.660
uh you know hotel that would also be freaky but but having to fluff your pillow and having a hot
