00:00:41.520
and then you come back and you can get all this.
00:00:52.540
We talk about how Elizabeth Warren is a terrible person
00:01:23.940
You cannot have pleasant conversations with the president.
00:01:31.820
and letting him know how much you hate his guts.
00:01:39.220
and get into his fungible contributions to Iran.
00:01:46.100
And some of that money might have gone to nefarious places.
00:01:53.240
We get into all the ways it did on the podcast.
00:02:20.580
although it was a little bit in doubt in the first half.
00:02:23.020
And they got somewhat close in the third quarter, too.
00:02:31.480
which I think is a little bit of a refreshing change.
00:02:43.740
I'm almost as tired of Clemson as I am Alabama.
00:02:50.580
I mean, that LSU team is one of the greatest college teams of all time.
00:02:57.220
Set all sorts of records, undefeated, pretty much blew everybody out.
00:03:03.780
Attending the game last night was Donald J. Trump and his wife, Melania,
00:03:29.320
How could you talk to the president of the United States?
00:03:32.440
This went viral yesterday because someone posted it on Twitter,
00:03:37.340
you know, I'm very sorry to have to share this clip with you.
00:03:41.620
Like, to say, like, now you have to hate Vince Vaughn.
00:03:45.000
but now you have to hate him because, obviously,
00:03:46.240
he's talking to Donald Trump, which makes him a bad person,
00:03:50.680
Like, that is legitimately the tone of the way the left handled this.
00:03:58.600
and maybe it's because we've been on the wrong side of this for so long
00:04:02.620
in that almost every single person in Hollywood,
00:04:11.060
And they all go perform for Democratic candidates.
00:04:13.740
They all have their music used by Democratic candidates.
00:04:15.920
They all show up at Barack Obama's White House.
00:04:18.160
They all come out in ads for socialized medicine.
00:04:37.460
It's desirable, and if you don't allow people to kill babies,
00:04:41.800
We're so used to that with every celebrity that, I mean,
00:04:46.520
Like, I go to a movie, and at no real point do I factor in
00:04:52.920
whether the person has a left or right-leaning politics.
00:04:58.100
with the possible exception of some people who are so in your face about it
00:05:02.380
that it's hard to separate them from the characters they're playing.
00:05:17.360
And there's a certain level of activism that gets so on your face.
00:05:22.540
It's just tiring, and you no longer see the person as the person they're playing.
00:05:26.100
You only see them as some left-wing activist that's in your face
00:05:30.520
And that's a different line than the average celebrity who certainly votes.
00:05:45.820
They come out, and you publicly are – and there's no indication, by the way,
00:05:54.260
Just speaking to the man in a friendly fashion.
00:05:56.420
Now, he probably does support Donald Trump, as we know.
00:05:59.440
But I don't know that a lot of people put him in that category.
00:06:09.800
But Vince Vaughn is really more of a Ron Paul, Rand Paul type of guy
00:06:15.860
Maybe – I haven't heard much about his politics recently.
00:06:18.140
But if it came to Trump or Hillary or Trump or Biden, I think he's going Trump.
00:06:22.320
Given the choice, he's going to lean Republican.
00:06:24.460
Though he's not exactly the same brand of Republican that you'd necessarily associate
00:06:29.200
I mean, he is much more of a Libertarian-leaning guy.
00:06:33.360
Though, again, he has not made politics so in your face as a part of his day-to-day life.
00:06:43.180
He's an actual person, an individual, that supports politicians just like everybody does.
00:06:48.580
However, he doesn't make it his business to put it in your face all the time.
00:06:54.140
The fact that he can't have a polite conversation with not even just some random
00:07:02.020
I mean, it used to be that that was sort of expected.
00:07:06.340
You'd at least have positive interactions with a president, even if you didn't like them.
00:07:11.560
And now we're at that point where it's trendy to just not show up to the Oval Office.
00:07:15.500
And you see that occasionally from time to time over the years.
00:07:18.420
I remember there was a guy on the Boston Bruins who was a Republican and did not go to see
00:07:28.600
And the Golden State Warriors famously would not go see Trump.
00:07:36.640
However, the idea that you can interact with people across party lines in normal conversation,
00:07:44.280
like that's not, it has nothing to do with politics.
00:07:46.280
That's just a normal human way of dealing with life.
00:07:54.120
You do realize that when you walk into Starbucks and you buy a cup of coffee or you go to McDonald's,
00:08:01.200
You're dealing with someone who doesn't agree with you politically, and I, you know,
00:08:04.600
I don't need every interaction I have in my life to be with someone I agree with on every topic.
00:08:10.360
I don't need that in my life, nor do I want it, to be honest.
00:08:13.380
And I don't, honestly, more than that, I don't want to even know.
00:08:20.000
I, you know, I'm going to obviously fight for what I believe is right, but this idea that you,
00:08:25.700
like, you know, Ellen dealt with this a few weeks ago where Ellen was sitting with George W. Bush.
00:08:35.660
I mean, I'm sure they're not hanging out every day, but they can't even interact in a positive way.
00:08:42.220
Ellen does more for the Democratic position when she does something like that than any crazy activist does.
00:08:53.340
She shows that she is willing to talk to someone she disagrees with.
00:08:57.880
And that makes Republicans, conservatives, like her more.
00:09:02.840
Maybe they're going to be more interested in one of—when she does make a point about liberal politics on her show,
00:09:08.520
maybe more conservatives might listen to it and consider it.
00:09:13.120
But at least it'll be part of the conversation.
00:09:15.100
And with Vince Vaughn last night, it's not like he was at a fundraiser with Trump or for Trump or for the Republican Party.
00:09:22.020
He's at the national championship football game.
00:09:27.940
I mean, it's not like he went there specifically to see Donald Trump or support Donald Trump.
00:09:34.380
And the fact that, you know, he was pictured talking with him, and you're not—I guess you're not supposed to even acknowledge he's alive.
00:09:42.880
It's just—it's gotten so ridiculous in this country.
00:09:50.340
If we keep this up, if we keep insisting that you can't even talk to Donald Trump or people who support him or you're a racist,
00:09:59.320
you can't even be near them, you can't touch them, you can't talk about them in a decent way,
00:10:03.840
I mean, I don't know where that ends up, but it can't be in a good place.
00:10:09.880
But it goes back to, I think, what we discussed last hour, which is the design of this approach
00:10:17.320
is not necessarily different than when we talk about how, you know, the left can get away with a blackface scandal like Trudeau or Northam.
00:10:32.520
But someone on the right who would do it would obviously be thrown out of society immediately.
00:10:36.200
And it's not about whether you wear blackface or not or whether you are Republican or conservative per se.
00:10:43.840
It's about ostracizing anyone who would even be mildly friendly to one of these people.
00:10:53.520
Vince freaking Vaughn can do whatever he wants, right?
00:10:58.200
I mean, he's been making critically acclaimed movies over the past few years,
00:11:03.000
Dragged Across Concrete being one of them, that have been really well received and have done really well with critics.
00:11:12.020
He hasn't been making as many of sort of the old school Vince Vaughn comedies lately,
00:11:15.140
but the guy still has a really good career and honestly can kind of do what he wants.
00:11:21.560
But if you're a young actor and you're coming up and you want to be the next Vince Vaughn,
00:11:26.380
you want to be the next Chris Pratt, you want to be the next big star,
00:11:29.180
you know, you're not going to talk about these things publicly.
00:11:32.300
You're not going to go say hello to Donald Trump at the football game and shake his hand and be respectful
00:11:40.800
And that's the message that is being sent here.
00:11:43.060
The message being sent is you are not acceptable in society
00:11:46.820
if you interact with the president of the United States in a normal human way.
00:11:57.220
but shaking his hand and being polite to his wife.
00:12:05.080
It was sent as well as we saw, we did a few stories about this last year
00:12:09.180
with the book about Oculus Rift, the guy who, you know, guy in a trailer,
00:12:17.180
creates this amazing virtual reality technology,
00:12:19.960
gets to the point where Facebook buys it for multiple billions of dollars.
00:12:22.900
He is spotted at one Trump fundraiser and they destroy him.
00:12:30.760
He gets thrown out of the, he has to release a statement lying about the candidate he voted for.
00:12:43.860
And it's tossing people out of society despite their accomplishments
00:12:48.420
because they have moderately pleasant interactions with a person.
00:12:56.020
There was a time where you say, okay, look, I know you disagree with that guy,
00:12:59.120
but that's great that you guys are still friends
00:13:03.880
Now that is like something that gets you thrown out of polite society.
00:13:07.500
And it's something where if you are coming up in technology or entertainment
00:13:13.460
or one of these big fields, you're going to hesitate being honest about who you are,
00:13:18.800
which is the exact opposite of what Hollywood says they want.
00:13:21.780
They kept saying, oh, they're going to keep everybody in the closet
00:13:23.700
and they want to put, you know, scared communists, the red scare and all these things.
00:13:31.000
You have organizations that are basically like AA for conservatives in Los Angeles
00:13:42.020
How often did Chris Matthews talk about Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill?
00:13:47.820
They disagreed politically, but then they'd have the dinner and drinks together.
00:13:57.640
It's only good when the conservative, when this is utilized for a conservative
00:14:01.180
to abandon their principles and support some liberal policy.
00:14:05.120
You know, oh, wow, like this senator has decided to vote for socialized medicine
00:14:09.320
after he went out to, you know, this happened with Orrin Hatch a lot
00:14:13.700
This was like, this is, this is, this is Kennedy.
00:14:15.320
This is actually copywritten as, as you have to write to see after it.
00:14:21.400
And Hatch would go out with Kennedy and they'd come up with some, you know,
00:14:24.060
left, you know, left wing philosophy on education
00:14:27.520
that Hatch would be the main quote unquote conservative voice to stand up for.
00:14:32.920
And everyone on MSNBC would say, this is bipartisan.
00:14:37.120
I assume with Hatch, not drinks, but then I went out to dinner and said, hey, well,
00:14:42.580
The thing I've been supposedly standing for and everybody in Utah voted for me.
00:14:49.560
I believe what Ted Kennedy said because those ribs were tasty.
00:14:59.200
You just don't abandon your principles just because you're friendly with them.
00:15:02.480
That's a trick that many in Washington can't seem to, uh, to master.
00:15:16.960
Big debate tonight, uh, featuring the six candidates who qualified, uh, for the debate tonight.
00:15:25.500
Uh, not all six have really equal shot at, uh, at winning this nomination.
00:15:30.980
Um, some, in fact, and I might as well just get out of it now and stop wasting money.
00:15:48.280
Uh, Tom Steyer got 15% in, uh, South Carolina, which is, was odd.
00:15:56.040
Um, and, and, you know, I was in Nevada over a Christmas break and.
00:16:07.800
It's like, it's either, it's either massage parlor, naked ladies, Tom Steyer.
00:16:12.680
And I associate the two because of the sexiness of Tom Steyer.
00:16:17.680
Just the overflowing sexiness, the utter sexuality of a Tom Steyer.
00:16:27.560
And it's funny to see this because Steyer is trying something really that's never quite
00:16:31.740
been done, which is dump money as a billionaire into early States and take yourself from no
00:16:38.960
one knows who you are to absolute every, you know, just you blanket a state and then try
00:16:46.300
to build yourself into a personality that people will vote for.
00:16:50.180
And he started this and he got down this road and he spent $70 million.
00:16:54.240
And then Michael Bloomberg was like, well, I'm a much better billionaire than you.
00:16:58.740
So now Bloomberg has spent, it looks like he, by the time Super Tuesday rolls around, Michael
00:17:04.580
Bloomberg will have spent a quarter of a billion dollars of his own money on ads.
00:17:09.400
You saw them in the national championship game probably last night.
00:17:15.120
It could be almost a half a billion dollars and all on Super Tuesday States, which is really
00:17:19.580
fascinating because he is running in States essentially unopposed.
00:17:25.100
These Super Tuesday States, none of the candidates are, they're all focusing on the early States.
00:17:31.900
So he's blanketing and he's, he is rising in the polls and he's doing, um, you know, he's
00:17:35.820
been hitting 8%, 10% in some of these early polls in these States and he's up to five or
00:17:41.140
So he's kind of doing the Rudy Giuliani trick, uh, whenever that was, was it 2012 or 2008?
00:17:48.880
Where he waited till Florida, but he didn't spend all the money that, uh, Bloomberg is spending
00:17:56.980
By the time it got to Florida and he was waiting for everybody, it was over.
00:18:01.820
And because of that, he has such a unique path.
00:18:04.580
I mean, when you're right with Giuliani, it was, you know, Oh, look, all these New Yorkers
00:18:12.240
Now Bloomberg is, is facing something and his path is different where he's rooting for
00:18:17.460
there not to be, um, a, the worst thing that can happen for Bloomberg is Biden wins the
00:18:26.580
first four States because if Biden is there and he's the obvious front runner, Bloomberg's
00:18:32.520
However, if one of the two other things happen, he's got, uh, he's got an argument.
00:18:41.620
Um, uh, let's say Buttigieg wins, Iowa, uh, um, Sanders wins, New Hampshire, uh, Warren
00:18:58.000
If Buttigieg wins Iowa, does he win also New Hampshire?
00:19:01.460
I mean, there's a good argument to be made that that momentum will help him, but if those
00:19:05.280
four split up, then Bloomberg comes in essentially as the guy to say, look, this is a mess.
00:19:10.160
I'm going to win these other States and, and, and insert myself into this conversation.
00:19:14.300
The other one is a dominant performance by one of the liberals.
00:19:20.160
Then Sanders goes back to back and wins New Hampshire, which if he wins Iowa, he's got a really
00:19:27.080
He wins those two, which by the way, he's leading in many polls in both of those States.
00:19:30.900
If he wins those two in a row, very good chance.
00:19:36.920
No candidate has ever won the first three States and then lost.
00:19:41.240
Uh, uh, the last one who did this was, um, Al Gore, Al Gore in 2001, the first three States.
00:19:47.220
And when he won the first three States as a non-incumbent, um, he went on to win every primary.
00:19:51.540
Now, obviously someone like Barack Obama, who was already president, it's a different story.
00:19:54.860
But when you have a non-incumbent, it's not as easy to do this.
00:19:57.280
So if Sanders won the first three States, good chance.
00:20:00.160
He, he also wins South Carolina, you know, who knows?
00:20:05.060
Then you have, you have to ask the democratic party.
00:20:08.440
Do you want, do you really want Bernie freaking Sanders to be your nominee?
00:20:13.740
Cause if you want an avowed socialist as your nominee, you can have him.
00:20:17.440
He's way ahead, but you know, who else is there?
00:20:20.760
Michael Bloomberg with his billion dollars and he can, he, you're not gonna have to worry
00:20:25.220
You're not gonna have to worry about any of that stuff.
00:20:27.020
He's going to, he's going to pay for all of it himself.
00:20:29.780
And you know, you're, you might not like Bloomberg, but you know what?
00:20:36.400
He's super liberal on almost everything with the exception of some business issues.
00:20:41.760
So you don't get Bernie Sanders, but he's, is he universal healthcare as well?
00:20:45.420
I don't know if I've heard his healthcare plan.
00:20:47.700
You know, that's a good, I, I, I, I think he is.
00:20:54.660
He's more, a more Buddha judge approach, Medicare for those who want it, as they say.
00:21:00.640
So you could still keep supposedly like they lied to us before.
00:21:03.740
If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare.
00:21:07.120
That's the full, the full sentence that got muddled a little bit behind the applause.
00:21:15.400
We can, we can confirm that a hundred percent to make sure, but he's not.
00:21:18.280
Look, Bloomberg is running overtly as a supposed moderate, which is hilarious when you see him.
00:21:27.120
Probably in all honesty, probably more extreme than Bernie Sanders on guns.
00:21:34.100
Bernie actually supported the second amendment.
00:21:36.660
I mean, he's from Vermont and he had his time where he was like, yeah, maybe people in rural
00:21:50.980
Bloomberg, with the exception of his security personnel, does not want anyone to have a gun.
00:21:55.480
Now his security personnel, totally different story.
00:21:57.900
And he'll certainly use guns to come in to make sure that your SUV is not operating on gasoline.
00:22:03.340
That's coming in a, in a future Bloomberg administration for sure.
00:22:06.240
Uh, but, uh, yeah, I mean, I think that there is an argument there for Bloomberg.
00:22:11.960
I mean, Steyer would have to somehow win a couple of these early states and then become
00:22:20.240
So if you look at this as a situation where let's say Biden, um, is doing very well, there's
00:22:27.780
Biden is, is cruising and, and Steyer can win a couple of states.
00:22:31.160
Maybe Steyer can make the argument, look, I've got a lot of money.
00:22:33.240
Well, I can fund this thing myself, you know, stick with me.
00:22:37.280
I don't think there's a real Steyer argument though.
00:22:39.300
I mean, the Steyer thing, he's so bad as a candidate.
00:22:48.560
I mean, I think he's a jerk in every way known.
00:22:51.440
He wants to take away my freaking soda and my straws.
00:22:54.160
And I cannot think of anything more offensive to my soul than going after my soda.
00:22:59.500
He, he even tried to take away your salt in New York.
00:23:06.860
He closed off all kinds of streets where you can't drive anymore and actually made them
00:23:14.220
I mean, it just made things tougher to get around and navigate.
00:23:17.300
One of the big things he tried to do in New York too, was to, to have this big commuter
00:23:20.380
tax where you'd pay huge amounts of money to drive into the city.
00:23:23.620
As you remember, Pat, of course you were driving in the city every day.
00:23:26.140
It was already really freaking expensive to park your car and paying tolls.
00:23:30.580
He wanted to, you know, to make that much, much higher.
00:23:33.180
Think of what he would do to the national capital.
00:23:35.880
I mean, as a president, I mean, think of the things he would push through there.
00:23:40.020
That would be, I mean, DC would be even more of a mess than it is.
00:23:43.940
He's totally fine with controlling your life, with, with telling you what you can and can't
00:23:49.240
do, what you can and can't eat, what you can and can't have, because he knows better
00:23:54.100
He honestly believes he knows better than you, that, that there are people and he's
00:23:59.360
one of them who are just way smarter than you are and they know how you should live
00:24:06.160
It's interesting, especially if you've been listening to this show for a long time and
00:24:08.600
listening to Glenn talk about early 20th century progressivism and Woodrow Wilson and how that
00:24:15.000
And if you listen to this show for more than five minutes, how could you have missed it?
00:24:17.980
I mean, is there a bit of five minute period on this program where Glenn has not mentioned
00:24:23.320
Uh, I mean, five consecutive minutes without Woodrow Wilson.
00:24:29.340
Uh, but if you know that there's two candidates, I think I like personify that Woodrow Wilson
00:24:37.380
Elizabeth Warren is one of them and Michael Bloomberg is the other people who are, who
00:24:41.840
absolutely believe they know better than you how to live your life.
00:24:45.940
Now, of course there's elements in every single one of these candidates of, of this philosophy,
00:24:51.300
but even Bloomberg is maybe the most pure example because he, I mean, all the way down
00:24:55.780
to running massive campaigns to take away larger soda cups so he can manipulate the amount
00:25:00.840
of calories that you're eating, you know, getting rid of straws, getting rid of, as you
00:25:08.760
He wanted to ban salt from your restaurant experience.
00:25:12.020
There was another thing he was talking about recently where, um, he wanted, he wanted the
00:25:17.800
poor to stay poor or pay higher taxes so that, so that they didn't have enough money to hurt
00:25:26.000
They would buy it because if they have too much money, they'll go out to eat.
00:25:28.100
They're going to go buy bad things and put into their body.
00:25:34.240
Oh, and that is progressivism in a nutshell right there.
00:25:37.500
It's the other side of the coin from a Warren who wouldn't say something like that, but still
00:25:41.720
You know, a lot of her policies lead to the same exact things and it's one of the reasons
00:25:45.620
conveniently Medicare for all will raise taxes on the poor and the middle class.
00:25:52.960
Warren doesn't quite admit it, but it's obviously true.
00:25:55.520
And she even gets beat up by the left on, on her denial of these claims.
00:26:01.180
Uh, 538.com released their model of, of the, uh, entire primary.
00:26:07.620
Uh, to, again, like people like to beat up on polls, but you look at the accuracy.
00:26:12.520
I mean, you know, the national election, they project, they projected it almost exactly as
00:26:16.680
far as the popular vote was, which is what they were projecting.
00:26:21.080
Um, and a lot of these forecasters did miss on that.
00:26:23.420
Um, but the idea that, uh, that polls are worthless is largely a myth.
00:26:28.580
I mean, you know, the polls got about 45, 46 states, right?
00:26:36.080
You know, Donald Trump's surprised in certain areas in, uh, you know, to, to a point of
00:26:41.320
all reporting shows that even their internal, uh, polling, uh, showed that they were not
00:26:47.380
So it's not always perfect, but it does give you a good idea.
00:26:50.520
This is really imperfect though, because the polling in primaries and caucuses is much
00:27:02.180
I mean, what goes on in Iowa where everyone's in a room trying to convince each other is such
00:27:08.320
And then everything has an effect on everything that comes after it.
00:27:12.940
So, you know, in Iowa, you might say, okay, Joe Biden's got a 30% chance to win Iowa.
00:27:18.380
Well, if he wins, uh, Iowa, his chances might go from 20% in New Hampshire to 40% in New
00:27:24.960
Hampshire, everything, whatever happens in Iowa is going to affect all these other races.
00:27:28.960
So to try to project all of these things in a row is basically an impossible task.
00:27:34.640
And you should know going in that these things can't be perfect, but it is an interesting
00:27:39.960
They say Joe Biden has a 38% chance right now to win the majority of delegates for the
00:27:46.740
Democrats and 38% chance of winning is obviously he's the favorite by a pretty wide margin.
00:27:52.680
On the other hand, there's a 62% chance he doesn't win.
00:27:57.800
So there's a, there's a much better chance that he does not win the majority of delegates
00:28:02.980
than, than he does, which is a, is a way that you have to kind of think about this.
00:28:09.520
Uh, Sanders, 23%, Warren, 13% chance of winning the majority of delegates, Budajeg, 10%, all
00:28:16.440
others, um, with the exception of, uh, all others is, you know, about 1% chance of people
00:28:20.680
like Bloomberg and down the, you know, Klobuchar.
00:28:22.780
Uh, the one that's really interesting though, is they say there's a 15% chance.
00:28:26.380
No one wins the majority of delegates, which means you're probably going to have a contested,
00:28:31.980
a contested convention, a 15% chance they project right now, which is significant.
00:28:54.440
There's a graph I saw the other day of all the social networks and how they've risen and
00:29:02.640
I mean, it peaks at destroying all of them and then just goes away within like two or
00:29:07.880
And the only thing it's around now for is occasional scandals of photos that were posted on MySpace
00:29:16.080
Like, for example, there was a guy who it was a judge on some tattoo related reality show.
00:29:26.600
I don't, I don't know which one this was exactly, but he'd been a judge on the show for 13 years.
00:29:34.340
The television age that we live in and that shows that can be popular enough to be on the
00:29:40.240
We've absolutely no knowledge that they exist, but apparently this is a pretty big show.
00:29:43.880
And he, um, someone digs up his old MySpace page and finds pictures of him in blackface.
00:29:58.620
Fascinating though, to watch that go down because here is a guy who, um, there's no evidence that
00:30:05.660
he was a, you know, some, it wasn't like posts where he was praising Nazi ideology or was like,
00:30:14.680
He, he has two pictures of himself on Halloween where he's dressed up as an African American
00:30:22.340
The same way Joy Behar did the exact same thing, dressed up as a used blackface.
00:30:28.360
Uh, and she's fine and on the view and there's no problems with it because she's substantially
00:30:34.260
If you're progressive enough, if you like taxes to be high enough, if you want abortion
00:30:39.260
to be easy enough to get, if you want babies to make sure that they don't really have a
00:30:43.700
great chance of survival, that makes it okay to wear blackface.
00:31:01.900
Um, however, he did this and he was dressed up as, uh, someone from the Los Angeles Lakers.
00:31:09.400
Interesting because it, it harkens back to mind specifically one Jimmy Kimmel who dressed
00:31:15.620
up as Carl Malone in blackface on national television.
00:31:20.140
And received no repercussions whatsoever and continues to be a, uh, a liberal mega star.
00:31:26.600
But he's, so he's, he's great with babies being killed in the womb.
00:31:31.020
So that makes the blackface thing, like you said, just perfectly fine.
00:31:36.760
He wants healthcare to be given to you by the government.
00:31:43.340
And it's funny because one of the comments, you know, and it was one of these stories and
00:31:46.920
this drives me crazy, but it's like, here's, here's one, the first paragraph are like
00:31:52.740
the very basic details of the story and then it's this Twitter user said, and then there's
00:31:58.060
just like 25 comments from random people on Twitter that I guess the person writing the
00:32:01.980
story found interesting instead of writing comments themselves.
00:32:04.740
They're like, let's just sign on a copy and paste this on there.
00:32:07.320
But the first comment that they thought was so brilliant was, well, I'm glad this guy's
00:32:33.220
And of course, what is fundamentally built into this?
00:32:36.720
And of course the larger perspective is you should be progressive.
00:32:41.360
You should be liberal because you know what happens when you are, you get excused for all
00:32:50.200
You'll never have to pay a price for the things you shouldn't have done because if you are
00:32:54.580
sufficiently in favor of government healthcare, we'll exonerate you.
00:32:59.460
And that is an incredible free pass to life if you happen to be someone on the left.
00:33:09.140
You never have to deal with the arguments of the other side.
00:33:12.920
And if you screwed up, if you happen to have a little Me Too violation here, or you had
00:33:18.800
a little bit of a blackface incident there, we won't even talk about it.
00:33:24.020
So I don't know what this guy's politics are, but he's ejected from society now.
00:33:28.140
And people like Jimmy Kimmel will remain on television.
00:33:31.680
You know, people like Governor Northam, people like Justin Trudeau, they maintain everything.
00:33:37.780
The liberal left-wing country of Canada goes and supports this guy and re-elects him after
00:33:46.460
Do you think Donald Trump survives a blackface scandal in 2020?
00:33:54.060
And you know, you'd think in today's day and age, because, you know, like, for example,
00:33:59.760
Sarah Silverman, who is pretty left and has had minor repercussions from her own blackface
00:34:05.280
scandal, she did blackface on television, why, to parody and mock and demean racists.
00:34:14.780
That shouldn't be looked at as the same thing as Justin Trudeau, who just thinks it's A-OK
00:34:20.880
and funny to go out and dress up as someone just for the laughs.
00:34:31.660
The repercussions have gone to the person who is against racism, and Justin Trudeau skates
00:34:37.600
It doesn't, I mean, it is a fascinating world to navigate, Pat, because you can't find the
00:34:44.260
There's no way to know who gets cleared, who gets prosecuted, whose life gets ruined, and
00:34:54.720
And a lot of times it's politics, but not always.
00:34:56.800
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:35:12.240
Somebody actually asked John Kerry about the payment that the Obama administration made
00:35:20.460
to Iran, what was it, the $150 billion that was supposedly left on a tarmac that they say
00:35:31.560
But he was asked about that situation, and here's what he had to say.
00:35:36.820
I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or of other entities, some
00:35:44.720
of which are labeled terrorists, you know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and
00:35:50.300
tell you that every component of that can be prevented.
00:35:54.080
Why, though, did you think that that was a risk worth taking, if you knew the possibility
00:36:04.300
Well, what I was really saying, I think, first of all, Margaret, you are an expert at this.
00:36:10.940
Since you were there, you know that the president's tweet is a lie.
00:36:16.400
And the president tweeted this morning, because I am coming on the show, and he knew you'd ask
00:36:20.440
me the question, or he'd push you in a place where you did ask the question.
00:36:24.140
You and the media, I think, need to call a lie a lie.
00:36:28.220
Well, what I'm saying, Margaret, is that what I'm saying is I'm trying to avoid the actual
00:36:36.280
direct question that you asked me about why we took the chance that this could end up
00:36:42.940
And the answer to that is that I'm going to talk around what you've just asked me and
00:36:48.200
really put the blame on you for reading the president's tweet.
00:36:55.680
Yes, of course, I said this, but the problem here is that you noticed it.
00:36:59.820
That's the real scandal, is that you and the president noticed it, and what does that say
00:37:08.720
That's really kind of what he's trying to do there.
00:37:11.080
It's basically saying, like, since the president brought it up, it's not okay to bring up.
00:37:16.960
I mean, it's a very clear delineation of how they actually feel.
00:37:21.960
Margaret, what I'm saying is that you noticed this in a fashion reminiscent of judges con.
00:37:27.560
And there's a chasm between what I'd like you to notice and what you did notice.
00:37:42.880
Sure, some of it's going to be used on child porn.
00:37:50.420
Approximately 30% of all money we spend goes to child porn.
00:37:53.740
And another 20% goes to injecting little cute puppies with heroin and getting them addicted.
00:38:05.940
Is some of this going to fund Harvey Weinstein rape parties?
00:38:10.820
All money goes to Harvey Weinstein rape parties.
00:38:14.240
Will some of this go to the assassins at the Clintons pay to kill an Epstein type?
00:38:22.160
But we believe up to $8 of this $160 billion will go to help the Iranian people.
00:38:33.960
I mean, if we could just supply one cheesesteak or one hot dog, if we can get one bratwurst
00:38:49.380
I mean, it's funny because money isn't fungible unless you give it to a terrorist regime to
00:38:59.800
One way to present the fungibility of this particular money would be to not give it to Iran and
00:39:06.460
their regime so that they can spend it on terrorism.
00:39:14.940
Well, they were collecting interest on that fungible money, though, and the interest was
00:39:25.640
I mean, I'm willing to take any amount of money that is accruing interest and throw it
00:39:30.600
That was part of his argument was that it was accruing interest.
00:39:33.900
And so we had to give it to him before it accrued more interest.
00:39:36.840
And if I remember right, the money, their argument is it was Iran's money.
00:39:42.540
And when they had the revolution, we just kind of held on to it.
00:39:45.800
We're not going to give it back to them in the middle of this.
00:39:47.740
So we've just been holding on to it accruing interest and then it's fungible.
00:39:51.980
So we just gave it back to them now years later.
00:39:54.200
And again, it's the same borders, but it wasn't the same country.
00:39:58.080
It was one that took over the government by force.
00:40:01.300
This isn't some like wonderful thing that, yeah, OK, look, you know, it was Theresa May
00:40:12.620
And the reason we froze it in the first place was because they attacked us and took our
00:40:17.460
people hostage for four hundred and forty four days.
00:40:24.920
Of course, some of this money is going to be used to attack Americans and hold them hostage.
00:40:33.620
Much of it will go to ending the lives of Americans.
00:40:40.900
Will they buy intercontinental ballistic missiles from the Soviets with it?
00:40:45.940
Are they building a Death Star with this money?
00:40:51.640
That's the price you pay when you give money to terrorists, though.
00:40:56.840
You act as if you could give money to terrorists and they're not going to spend it on terrorism.
00:41:00.280
That's an absurd point, Katie, or whatever your name is.
00:41:08.920
All Margaret or Katie's host shows on Sunday mornings.
00:41:18.360
They're going to spend some of it on serial killing.
00:41:20.780
That's just part of the agreement when you do this.
00:41:24.620
If you take action A, giving money to a child rapist, some of it's going to go to child raping.
00:41:34.340
Can you believe he actually made that argument?
00:41:38.120
And then it's on television defending it all these years later.
00:41:42.500
There's this weird thing that you can't admit when you were blatantly wrong.
00:41:50.460
A great example of this is the 2012 debate where Obama says to Mitt Romney the 1980s call and they want their foreign policy back when he said Russia was the greatest geopolitical threat.
00:42:06.200
Well, now their entire party is – and every argument they make is based on the idea that Russia is the largest geopolitical threat.
00:42:13.840
And occasionally they'll come out and say, well, look, I didn't agree with that at the time or that was a little bit of a harsh way of putting it.
00:42:21.200
Rarely will they actually say, look, we were completely wrong.
00:42:24.400
And honestly, looking back at it, probably – we probably should have given the president's seat to Romney.
00:42:29.480
In retrospect, maybe we give him six months as president now.
00:42:33.420
And anyhow, he acts like a Democrat part of the time anyway.
00:42:37.520
It's hard for these parties to get over that hump and admit these things.
00:42:45.600
How can you possibly argue that giving all of this money to a terrorist state of Iran who's used it to come after American citizens over and over again, American military over and over again –
00:42:58.500
It's not just – fungible is not an acceptable explanation for that.
00:43:03.560
Well, as you said, when you're giving $150 billion to John Wayne Gacy, some of that money is going to wind up with eating people.
00:43:16.920
Some of it will be for his clown show show, too, and transportation and expenses to entertaining the children before he murders them.
00:43:26.220
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:56.220
We're so used to this where our lives are spent justifying things that are completely rational but the left pretends not to understand, right?
00:44:24.600
Like you make a joke and they pretend to think you meant something horrible and serious about it so you have to defend yourself, where they are the exact opposite.
00:44:33.060
They will say something truly despicable and never have a moment to even try to defend it in any serious way because it's –
00:44:40.800
I mean, look, we talked about the Sanders thing earlier where Bernie Sanders is talking about these rape fantasies.
00:44:46.820
If you didn't listen to last half hour, I'm not going to go through the really hardcore stuff in here.
00:44:53.100
But, I mean, he's talking about basically the worst things you can say about a woman or a man.
00:45:03.540
They have a deeply entrenched view of being subservient to men.
00:45:13.140
The Bernie Sanders rape fantasy essay explained because you need an explanation.
00:45:20.420
So, you know, after paragraph after paragraph of justification on here, it says,
00:45:25.520
So, what does this say about Sanders' attitude towards women?
00:45:32.500
Seems to say that he believes they want to be raped.
00:45:36.640
And that they fantasize about underaged girls being assaulted.
00:45:43.740
But NPR says, you can draw divergent conclusions from the article itself.
00:45:49.560
On the one hand, he's talking about liberating people from harmful gender norms.
00:46:00.660
Anyway, on the other, with his nameless hypothetical man and woman characters,
00:46:07.600
he also seems to imply that men fantasize about raping women or that women fantasize about being raped.
00:46:29.460
He states it emphatically as the central thesis of his argument.
00:46:33.820
An argument that led him to the potential Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
00:46:41.540
So there is some evidence to Elizabeth Warren's point of sexism here.
00:46:45.820
There's a little bit of a backup to that from long ago.
00:46:52.640
I mean, if a conservative wrote something like this, there's no NPR article that comes out and says,
00:46:56.200
actually, what they're doing is liberating gender norms.
00:46:59.740
If you're a conservative and you write that, you're done.
00:47:07.920
Even if you could deny it was you and it wouldn't matter.
00:47:11.900
It's just a totally different world and it's got to be a lot of fun, at least for a little
00:47:15.620
while, until you feel like you've let down all of humanity in some dark moment.
