00:00:14.180 have already announced there's a couple new ones in the last day or two that you need to know about

00:00:17.840 also we have uh louis ck who's in trouble now for a comedy concert he gave recently

00:00:25.440 and he's too controversial he's too controversial we'll delve into that he actually made fun of

00:00:31.740 things so obviously you can't do that you can't make fun of things or people no you cannot that's

00:00:36.880 not in a comedic way that's just wrong and we'll tell you the all-time great show that the left is

00:00:41.560 now coming after they want to go after and like reverse history on the shows you used to watch

00:00:45.820 it's an unbelievable um and uh we have global warming update bernie sanders is telling us how

00:00:50.720 we have to handle global warming if you're white we don't want you at a women's march that's a great 1.00

00:00:55.340 one too a lot of great stuff on the podcast today

00:00:57.640 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:01:08.340 this is the glenbeck program uh with pat and stew today uh for glen back here we're talking about

00:01:21.200 elizabeth warren uh and pat i would love to get your initial gut reaction does she have any chance

00:01:28.940 to be the nominee or to be president of the united states no chance of either no now will you eat your

00:01:35.100 underwear if if she becomes no i will not i was hoping to goad you into that today no because you

00:01:39.700 did that last time in 2016 yeah and i feel i felt pretty good about it in 2016 i still feel pretty good

00:01:44.860 about it but pretty good it's not not enough well she's actually running this time she's actually

00:01:48.600 going to run and she could win but i i really think it's a long shot and the hill has presented

00:01:54.720 their initial rankings of the field and uh at the top of the list they have uh beto o'rourke

00:02:03.360 they're number one person beto o'rourke how fast this stuff changes the guy lost his race

00:02:10.920 yeah the only thing he's known for is losing yes and yet he is going to be their their top dog

00:02:16.520 they they just they're in love with him they're absolutely in love with him they said that

00:02:21.300 there's an old cliche that republicans fall in line and democrats fall in love and that's clearly

00:02:26.860 what's happened with beto o'rourke they fell in love with obama and they fell in love with beto

00:02:31.700 o'rourke and i don't i don't know if there's going to be any stopping him now for the nomination in

00:02:35.820 2020 that's insane i mean look we all have those romances throughout our lives pat uh there are times

00:02:41.380 we fall in love and we fall out of love there was a time in which the democrats were in love with

00:02:45.180 elizabeth warren yeah time is not now they did fall out of love with her i think yes i don't know

00:02:49.920 i mean it kind of feels to me like it was the whole native american dna test it does feel like it

00:02:57.420 but that only pushed it over the edge yeah i think they were falling out of love before that

00:03:01.640 yeah and that kind of finished it off some people are like oh well this is what it is

00:03:05.460 they are just not comfortable with a woman at the top of the ticket that's like that's just 1.00

00:03:09.420 ridiculous uh stupid first hillary clinton was seemingly a woman right right i know and now 1.00

00:03:15.000 they're saying because it was hillary clinton and she lost we can't nominate another woman we can't

00:03:20.280 we can't another older woman is not it's not the way to go which i mean you know look you can argue 1.00

00:03:25.380 that i think there is a um a there's something similar about the way elizabeth warren and hillary

00:03:33.700 clinton handled things that seems uh equally incompetent yes and that is not what you need

00:03:41.740 to bring to the table against donald trump not at all that's the one thing you need to be able to do

00:03:45.560 and the dna thing she handled so poorly it was just i i think even to democrats they were like

00:03:51.120 okay come on yeah unfortunately it was like one 1024th native american right please stop it so bad

00:03:59.440 like you remember when they used to have those uh free hbo preview weekends i remember because i

00:04:03.740 never had hbo growing up and then like one weekend a year hbo would be on and you get to see hbo for

00:04:08.720 free yeah that's like what happened with the dna test it was like a free preview to her candidacy

00:04:13.500 and that does not look good in that moment when donald trump makes some accusation against her or some

00:04:19.820 big news story breaks someone finds something from her past how is she going to react to it and they

00:04:24.520 got the free preview what she's going to do is like call 23andme.com and get them to do a dna test 1.00

00:04:31.160 like it was so incompetent and so horribly handled uh that and when she found out she was one 1024 0.51

00:04:38.840 she should have just squelched it and not not brought it up it should have just been kept private

00:04:43.960 yeah okay it turned out i'm not that i'm not afro i'm not native american so yeah and if she would

00:04:50.400 have said that it probably would have been okay there's probably was a way of handling it yeah uh

00:04:55.200 and it certainly wasn't just not the way she did no even if you're going to have a test and it comes

00:04:58.940 out that you're 80 native american it shouldn't be you releasing that information right you want to

00:05:03.660 leak it to the new york times and have them write up some big thing you could do that i got news for

00:05:08.240 you the new york times would have been game for that one and it didn't they would have taken it

00:05:11.100 it didn't help that the cherokee people came out against her no it did not it didn't help it didn't 0.93

00:05:17.140 help at all and it's it's and beto on the other hand never had that i mean again he had his

00:05:22.540 controversies the guy first of all it's not even his name right second of all uh he's on uh he had

00:05:28.120 a dui i mean this guy had some stuff in his past but he he was able to weather it and in fact the

00:05:33.780 cruise people afterwards said they were he they couldn't you know they couldn't put him away it

00:05:39.900 took everything they had just to just to win that election and they squeaked it out in texas yeah i mean

00:05:46.620 he won by what two and a half 2.9 almost three points i think uh but he should have won by 20

00:05:53.560 yeah and so the reason why you look at beto even though he lost as a big candidate and this is why

00:05:58.140 the democrats are doing this is because he outperformed what he was supposed to do right

00:06:01.940 like the the and he was actually not the biggest outperformer which is kind of interesting they went

00:06:07.160 through this and they said uh who outperformed the environment and their state more than any other

00:06:14.180 democrat and they went through the list uh here's a few uh gillibrand was plus 3.8 o'rourke was plus

00:06:22.260 7.2 so they think in any in a normal a replacement level candidate like nine she lost by like nine or 0.95

00:06:28.480 ten right yeah that's a replacement level candidate there are two that actually beat o'rourke which

00:06:33.280 which are interesting and both of them are also being talked about um as candidates uh klobuchar from

00:06:39.100 uh minnesota no way does she win i don't know there's no way she wins she doesn't have a lot 1.00

00:06:44.680 of recognition at this point um she seems to have she has a sort of moderate-ish uh vibe from what

00:06:53.020 people tell me uh that are democrats they like they like she's not like she doesn't come off as a crazy 1.00

00:06:57.740 liberal but she's from a state in the you know midwest and maybe there's something there um i don't

00:07:02.660 know i don't know i that was she outperformed yeah but that's interesting plus eight percent so 0.67

00:07:07.920 o'rourke was plus 7.2 but the number one um by by a wide margin actually a 9.4 percent over performing

00:07:15.380 was sherrod brown in ohio and and he's the guy that there's there's an element he's on this list

00:07:21.340 too yeah easy yeah because he's one of those guys if um he's sort of like the it's joe it's in a way

00:07:28.300 it's just a way it's joe biden but he's newer right like and younger he's that same sort of

00:07:33.560 vibe as far as like he's middle class and he's you know he's no nonsense and he's populist and all

00:07:38.960 that stuff but he comes from ohio obviously a swing state he did very well there and it's in it in a

00:07:43.900 time where it's not particularly uh blue of all candidates in this entire measure of all the

00:07:50.140 democrats elizabeth warren wow elizabeth warren uh did not have any value above replacement basically

00:07:57.220 basically finished as any replacement candidate would the only democrat with a lower score was

00:08:01.420 uh menendez who was in the middle of a corruption trial wow so that is i mean that's a big she just

00:08:07.360 isn't she's not even loved by massachusetts no so how is she going to be loved by the rest of

00:08:13.500 i don't think she is i don't think she is um so you had beto at number one according to the hill

00:08:18.440 uh bernie sanders still second now look this guy would be almost 80 years old by the time he would

00:08:26.120 become president if he won the election if he got the nomination i think he's i think he's 76 now so

00:08:32.540 he'd be 78 in 2020 if he were to win now when you start out in the presidency older than the average

00:08:43.100 age of death for an american male it's not a good sign no that's not a good sign really and maybe

00:08:49.360 maybe we enter something into the constitution that maybe if you're past the age the average age

00:08:55.840 of expiration you don't get to run if health care improves right we'll start as we'll inch it up

00:09:04.620 exactly uh i think but for now when the average age of death for the american male is 76 and you're 78

00:09:11.600 and i'm sorry you can't run the president the best of the glenn beck program

00:09:18.020 so we okay these are the top 10 democrats they didn't go into all 50 or 100 or however many are

00:09:30.740 going to wind up running they just listed the top 10 here and the first at number one the the candidate

00:09:37.700 with the best chance winning the democratic nomination they think on in the hill is uh

00:09:43.980 beto o'rourke robert francis o'rourke bob frank o'rourke right uh number two would be bernie sanders

00:09:50.660 who's really not even a democrat he's a socialist uh i guess they're synonymous now it's they're

00:09:56.380 pretty much the same thing um because the socialist party has taken over the democrat party so they don't

00:10:01.960 even care anymore that the socialists are taking over the party no longer a racist slur to call a

00:10:07.540 democrat a socialist now it's almost a compliment now yeah they love it now he's just got to keep

00:10:11.700 up with this stuff um former vice president joe biden number three now i think biden's got a

00:10:16.460 better chance than sanders biden has to be number one on this list the guy's leading the polls by 20

00:10:21.080 points yeah you know this is 20 points again let go back to uh you know just a few years ago this is

00:10:26.540 the same situation that happened with donald trump everyone's like ah that guy doesn't really have a

00:10:30.580 chance and he's leading by 20 points and he just kept leading by 20 so weird yeah and i kept

00:10:34.220 remembering thinking someone's going to come up here and challenge him are they no no he's just

00:10:37.420 gonna win he's gonna win and i think there's a chance that this happens with biden uh and it's

00:10:42.940 kind of interesting because the hill points out biden leads almost all opinion polls at this stage

00:10:48.340 and how you rate his chances depends largely on how you how much you think that matters well i think it

00:10:53.920 matters quite a bit as you just pointed out with trump it mattered a lot yeah i mean we kept saying

00:10:58.900 all right he's gonna fade eventually nope no he didn't he didn't and i think part of this is i mean

00:11:05.380 name recognition there's nobody on the beto o'rourke has not not even close this penetrates

00:11:09.760 talk radio right yeah right who's third but i mean when you talk about name recognition for the

00:11:14.720 average person who isn't listening to talk radio who isn't obsessed with cnn on the left or msnbc

00:11:19.620 beto o'rourke is a blip on their radar if they've heard his name at all that's very true biden was

00:11:25.100 vice president of the united states for eight years that they remember fondly yeah you know that is a

00:11:31.040 you have to you have to factor that in it's a big deal now i don't even i'm not a hundred percent

00:11:35.580 sure he's going to run though it does seem that way seems likely uh seems likely but you see these

00:11:40.960 little um cliques forming elizabeth warren and and bernie sanders are gonna have a tough time

00:11:47.700 coexisting they're gonna have a tough time because they're gonna battle it out for the same voters

00:11:51.460 i think the same thing happened with like you know joe biden and you know if you want to go

00:11:54.940 share it brown or one of these other uh more moderate candidates he's that's the place he's

00:11:58.860 going to take i'm the common sense democrat that's what he's going to try it's going to be

00:12:02.700 tough to win a primary with that and i think that is robert o'rourke will say i'm he'll just go for

00:12:06.760 it right elizabeth warren will just go for it i think so yeah they'll both be the socialist

00:12:10.960 candidates uh and so will sanders and then and then in comparison biden will look really moderate

00:12:17.940 compared to them and that might help him a lot it's also scary for the general because if if if

00:12:22.780 biden is able to somehow win that primary coming off as relatively sensible and again that's not easy

00:12:28.600 for joe no but if he's able to pull that one off it's going to fool a lot again a lot of people

00:12:32.980 who aren't focused on his actual positions are going to think well he's more you know he's more

00:12:38.080 moderate he's the one in the middle and i can deal with that and as we mentioned he had 30 support in

00:12:43.480 the cnn poll um last month and number two was sanders at 14 so more than he more than doubled the

00:12:50.780 second place guy beto was back in third at 11 and then nine percent in another poll but biden

00:12:58.740 far and away uh leading the opinion polls at number four they have kamala harris now i i don't know that 0.66

00:13:06.520 she has that much of a shot either um i'm a little more bullish on kamala harris than let's say 1.00

00:13:14.620 and elizabeth warren yeah probably a better chance than warren but not as good as biden or maybe even

00:13:20.280 beto i think you're right i mean there's there's obviously a place for the democrats who there's some

00:13:25.820 argument among democrats to take someone who's different right yeah like they you know biden and

00:13:31.460 beto are are i mean and i know this is shocking because his name is beto but these are just boring

00:13:36.860 white dudes okay wait a minute yeah you're talking about uh beto o'rourke right yes the hispanic guy

00:13:43.660 bob frank o'rourke yes and you know this is the this is the exact thing that they say the republicans

00:13:49.300 do right which is take the you know the some white guy you know and throw him out there and that's 0.99

00:13:55.980 okay well kamala harris i think is going to come at this from the opposite perspective and say women 1.00

00:14:01.580 and say you know all sorts of i'm different in x y and z ways and make sure she'll have

00:14:06.760 an identity politics argument and she's not as incompetent as an elizabeth warren or 1.00

00:14:11.140 or stilted or you know again like people keep saying photogenic yeah she's yeah yeah she's a

00:14:17.460 prosecutor so she's like relatively she's not cory booker if you saw her and cory booker they both did

00:14:23.220 things that were wrong uh during the kavanaugh stuff but cory booker looked like an idiot doing 0.81

00:14:27.880 he looked like a buffoon right well she while her points were just as bad as his points she came off 0.98

00:14:33.700 as much more credible and so she i think she's more dangerous to not only win the nomination but

00:14:39.140 also win the election than someone like elizabeth warren or you know another example of this and she 1.00

00:14:44.740 can't run obviously this time is alexandria ocasio-cortez you know republicans if they

00:14:49.940 have a choice between kamala harris and ocasio-cortez define the democratic party they salivate over

00:14:55.020 ocasio-cortez yeah because she doesn't know what she's talking about she's an out she she'll say 1.00

00:14:59.400 she's a socialist you know like those things are things republicans desire in an opposition

00:15:04.440 right where kamala harris is she'll have the same policies as ocasio-cortez but she's not going to 1.00

00:15:11.000 describe them the same way or and she might also know how the government functions which is another 0.86

00:15:15.000 positive in her favor that's very true so we get all the way down to number five before we get to

00:15:20.280 elizabeth warren on this particular list fifth uh according to the hill and then you mentioned

00:15:25.400 sherrod brown the uh senator from ohio um and as you said he won his senate re-election by

00:15:33.240 was it nine points over over they had the the replacement measure we were talking like

00:15:38.920 you know wins above replacement in baseball like so it's it's a measurement like that

00:15:42.960 he had the best performance among all democrats yeah and he he won his senate re-election race

00:15:49.300 in a state trump carried by eight points over clinton so he won it easily pretty big yeah

00:15:55.140 yeah it was not it was not a it was not a one that was a close call as we went towards the end of

00:15:59.800 it not at all so that was it's pretty impressive and i don't know i mean people in ohio might know

00:16:04.160 him better to say whether this guy could pull off a national spotlight it'll be interesting

00:16:08.080 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:16:14.300 hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us on

00:16:26.620 itunes if you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe on

00:16:32.540 itunes thanks louis ck is um under fire right now because he said some things in a comedic way

00:16:41.160 that the left doesn't really like oh no yeah oh no yeah um and you know comedy has to be completely

00:16:48.000 uh politically correct and safe for everyone everyone has to leave feeling good yes thank you

00:16:53.920 there was that you can't offend anybody a comedian who had a gig booked at a college towards the end of

00:17:00.040 the year last year and he got his you know his thing he had to sign to perform and get his money

00:17:05.300 and it was like you have to make sure that you uh you know can make sure and confirm that everyone

00:17:11.020 will have a good happy healthy experience and they won't be offended and it's like i'm a comedian

00:17:15.780 you gotta be kidding me yeah oh yeah and it was in print did he sign it or did he no i think he said

00:17:20.740 no he wasn't gonna sign it i mean it wasn't like a big known guy but you know you can't the whole

00:17:25.560 point of comedy is to push you into an uncomfortable place it's unbelievable a lot of times it

00:17:29.820 helps you examine a viewpoint that you have that you know it makes you uncomfortable right like

00:17:38.680 you go to a place that you're not necessarily going to go in a normal circumstance and that's

00:17:43.580 not the job of comedy number one is to make you laugh and that is gone from every late night show now

00:17:48.500 um you know now it's just trying to get you know trump applause lines claptor as glenn causes it's no

00:17:54.820 longer laughter it's claptor you're just going for that oh yes he said that thing i heard on a blog

00:18:01.000 like that's the whole you know level of comedy now and you know i i guess that's especially for

00:18:07.020 saturday life that's what it's become they don't even try they're not even trying for actual jokes

00:18:11.680 anymore they're just making point we played the thing i think you were on the show that day pat where

00:18:15.240 we did uh the thing they did with ruth bader ginsburg and it was just like it was just praising ruth

00:18:21.360 bader ginsburg in a song for or in a rap for like four minutes ridiculous there weren't any jokes in

00:18:25.940 it other than it was just a rap about ruth bader ginsburg which generally speaking is a funny

00:18:29.400 concept it was just saying how great she is for four minutes but that's not what is that so louis

00:18:34.380 it's ridiculous and now louis ck has always gone to the most uncomfortable place possible it is his

00:18:41.480 style of comedy if you've never heard louis ck do comedy before this is what he does and he goes to

00:18:47.280 the darkest place in the recesses of your mind and exploits it and makes it into this big deal

00:18:51.340 and takes it to ridiculous extremes but it is a thing you know like you're going to a place where

00:18:57.060 uh you wouldn't normally go i mean he's been in trouble for this before and now the left is all

00:19:03.920 fired up because this guy's basically an alt-righter he's basically all right he might as well be on

00:19:07.820 donald trump's campaign team listen to this guy and and it's not okay now because uh you know they can

00:19:14.980 now go after him he was this protected celebrity he was you know the hierarchy of all comedy he was

00:19:20.940 the guy they praise as the most brilliant comedian there was and now he had his sexual harassment

00:19:26.820 thing that went on and he's trying to make a comeback and now it's easy to throw you know

00:19:31.220 they're they're trying to pressure him into being a crazy leftist if he was coming out and being a

00:19:35.120 crazy leftist right now they would not be criticizing him for making a comeback but because he's doing

00:19:38.940 the same stuff he was doing before and some of that stuff hits on the right and some of it hits on the

00:19:42.440 left uh he is now uh he's getting hammered not only by just liberals but like his old friends who

00:19:49.220 are comedians they're all coming out and saying like you know his old people who he who used him

00:19:54.860 for their fame are now uh coming up and just hammering him in in a moment where let's be honest

00:20:01.580 about it he doesn't need more hammering i mean he's been hammering he's had a tough year uh and it is and

00:20:06.660 he said he's made mistakes and he's admitted to that um but so we have the audio from this should we go

00:20:11.860 through this a little bit yeah so the two things you're gonna hear first one gonna be he's made fun

00:20:15.320 of parkland kids now he never says any he never mentions parkland kids but you'll hear where he

00:20:18.800 goes with that and also he crosses lines for the left that you're not allowed to cross anymore

00:20:25.220 you're not even allowed to even be mildly critical or ask questions or anything about these topics

00:20:29.300 anymore and especially with these kids who are in the political arena now they're in the political

00:20:36.020 arena and i guess they're still sacred cows you can't say anything about them it's amazing it really

00:20:40.480 something so here it is uh this is obviously it's louis ck it's you know it's a stand-up club comedy

00:20:45.960 so it's a little rough as far as the content goes obviously it's all bleeped out but just in case

00:20:50.380 you're with your little kids you might not want to listen to this uh here is louis ck making fun of

00:20:54.260 parkland kids i'm a little disappointed in the younger generation honestly because i'm 51 years old

00:21:00.620 and when i was like 18 to my 20s i mean we were idiots we were getting high doing mushrooms

00:21:08.420 and then older people were like you got to get your together and we were like yeah f you

00:21:13.700 and i was kind of excited to be in my 50s and see people in their 20s and be like they're crazy

00:21:20.020 these kids are nuts but they're not they're they're just boring

00:21:24.900 telling them you shouldn't say that what the what are you an old lady what the are you doing

00:21:31.460 that's not appropriate you you're a child

00:21:35.860 why are you each other and doing jello shots

00:21:39.700 like why aren't you

00:21:41.460 you should address me they're like royalty they tell you what to call them

00:21:49.000 you should address me as they them

00:21:53.160 because i identify as gender neutral oh okay okay

00:22:02.440 can't say this stuff

00:22:04.840 you should address me as their because i identify as a location

00:22:11.260 and the location is your mother's all right okay

00:22:16.140 it doesn't have to be that nasty

00:22:19.020 but it can be

00:22:21.900 i don't know they testify in front of congress these kids like what the

00:22:28.860 what are you doing you're young you should be crazy you should be unhinged 0.94

00:22:35.100 not in a suit saying i'm here to tell you you're not interesting because you went to a high

00:22:41.740 school where kids got shot why does that mean i have a listen to you

00:22:44.860 how does that make you interesting you didn't get shot you pushed some fat kids away 0.97

00:22:49.740 i'm not gonna listen to you talking

00:22:52.220 man oh first of all

00:22:56.380 you you can you can you can do we can play all the political games that that is

00:23:01.180 brilliant stuff yeah it's very freaking funny he's just as funny as he's

00:23:05.020 always been uh and uh you know you're not allowed oh but the left is now oh he was never

00:23:10.620 funny and he's not funny now he's he's mocking parkland kids no he's not he's he's he's saying

00:23:16.380 like look you know this is something everybody thinks right yeah like yes we all understand they

00:23:21.740 went through a tragic circumstance but that does not make them experts on gun violence

00:23:24.700 they all know that that's true everybody in america knows that that's true and they proved it

00:23:29.420 over and over again right yeah and so he's making a joke there and illustrating it to a

00:23:33.260 ridiculous extreme yeah right um but everybody knows there's a there's a nugget of that that is

00:23:39.180 true and it's also true that when you jump into the political fray yeah you've opened yourself up to

00:23:44.860 criticism and for some reason that doesn't apply to them well i'm sorry it does it does if they're

00:23:51.580 gonna start preaching gun control they've opened themselves up to things like this and i think you

00:23:58.220 know their points have to be able to be debated you have to you can't have a person in society who

00:24:05.500 has an unquestioned this is one of the issues when you talk about when they try to go to this level

00:24:09.740 of like um well all scientists are always right about everything so therefore we listen to everything

00:24:14.220 they say now look scientists are right about a lot you know and they're also wrong a lot and they're

00:24:19.100 sometimes they're wrong right and if they they're there can't be someone with this deity like uh

00:24:26.060 place in our society where everything they say is automatically true and respected right your points

00:24:33.100 always have to have an ability to be criticized now if you're taking shots at you know uh at um kids who

00:24:40.300 are in school shootings because they're bad you're taking ad hominem sort of attacks that's a totally

00:24:45.820 different uh you know world and i don't think that's the right world right no one no one thinks

00:24:51.340 that that's the right thing to do but you have to be able to criticize their points and i think there

00:24:55.100 there's also an idea to criticize their standing it's fair it is fair to say look they may have valid

00:25:03.020 points but me them making them it does not give it any more validity it does not make it more true that uh

00:25:11.180 you can't like having a second amendment i believe is a really good thing and the left believes is a

00:25:17.580 really bad thing because someone went to a school where people were shot does not make either one of

00:25:22.140 those sides more right or wrong it's just an emotional tie into that argument that's been raging since 1775

00:25:29.340 you know it's it's it's a long time people have been talking about this and you don't just because

00:25:34.220 you have an emotional tie this is why this is what the left has tries to do after every shooting

00:25:38.460 make it as emotional as possible so people forget the sober arguments for guns hey forget it for a

00:25:44.140 couple of weeks while we pass this then you can go back to thinking whenever you want and that was

00:25:48.620 the problem that i think a lot of people had but again louis ck is just talking about something that's

00:25:52.620 very obvious and this has been very specifically uh what he's tried to do with this comedy for a long

00:25:58.300 time when we come back here in 60 seconds we're going to talk we're going to let we're let him explain

00:26:03.180 to you exactly how he comes up with this comedy and this should not be controversial and this is the

00:26:07.180 way comedy should work it shouldn't be a controversial point and we'll give you that

00:26:11.980 and what he used to say which was completely okay with the left when he was asking tough questions and

00:26:17.420 it didn't go after their sacred cows they were completely loved this guy we're talking about

00:26:21.580 louis ck he's uh under fire from the left uh for his you know his commentary really i think you know

00:26:27.420 the parkland thing i think is a is a is a ruse i mean what they were upset about is him making

00:26:31.820 fun of the gender stuff i think more than anything else yes um and so but here here is louis ck in a

00:26:37.260 previous special talking about basically exactly how he comes up with the stuff he talks about

00:26:42.140 how he finds those dark areas here is uh here's louis ck explaining himself this is uh clip one

00:26:49.340 everybody has a competition in their brain of good thoughts and bad thoughts hopefully they win the

00:26:53.740 good thoughts win for me i always have both i have like the thing i believe the good thing that's

00:26:58.620 the thing i believe and then there's this thing and i don't believe it but it is there

00:27:05.980 it's always this thing and then this thing it's become a category in my brain that i call of course

00:27:14.620 but maybe

00:27:18.620 that's it right that's everybody has that right yeah you know you believe something and there's

00:27:22.700 that little thing that it you know maybe around the edges comes after you he listen to louis ck

00:27:28.300 now remember this is a time in which the left loves him he's honored respected this when this

00:27:34.380 special is going on he's at the peak of his career okay everything he says is gold everyone loves the

00:27:40.060 guy here's him going after the military now before i play this clip everybody in our audience obviously

00:27:47.100 loves the military uh and i love the military but again listen to his setup there there's something he

00:27:52.220 believes he knows it's true and there's something kind of there and remember it's his job to exploit

00:27:59.580 these the darkest corners right that people don't just kind of what he said right this is comedy this

00:28:06.140 is what you're supposed to do here's clip two of course if you're fighting for your country and you

00:28:11.180 get shot or hurt it's a terrible tragedy of course of course

00:28:20.060 but maybe maybe if you pick up a gun and go to another country and you get shot it's not that weird

00:28:29.180 maybe if you get shot by the dude you were just shooting at it's a tiny bit your fault

00:28:35.020 you're not allowed to say that no right no but the left loved him oh they love saying that yep oh

00:28:44.300 and he was going down those roads he was america's biggest hero he could say that all he wants and

00:28:49.820 look he should be allowed to go down even that road as offensive as it probably is to you to think

00:28:56.540 about that and bring that up in public because it's really uncomfortable and offensive to hear that

00:29:01.420 about veterans right however right however it's a that is his job yeah and it is the it's the way

00:29:07.980 he looks at the world and as he said he doesn't believe it and when he was saying that stuff we

00:29:11.980 weren't saying hey louis ck should be silenced he shouldn't be allowed to speak no he shouldn't

00:29:16.940 appear on specials we shouldn't have any access to louis ck's disgusting viewpoints nobody was saying

00:29:23.180 that right nobody nobody and there's so few comedians i i if i were a comedian uh right now in

00:29:28.540 the middle of this environment i don't think i'd be able to deal with the left at all oh i might

00:29:32.540 still believe in socialist policies and all the things that like you know that's every comedian

00:29:36.780 seems to believe in like every entertainer does but like how could you take them seriously i don't

00:29:41.740 know targeting you they're destroying your industry because as he as louis ck pointed out it is this idea

00:29:49.820 they're almost royalty they they get to tell you what you say they get to tell you how you address them

00:29:55.980 they get to tell you what opinions are acceptable for you to have as a comedian how the hell can you

00:30:00.860 stand up for that and you know if you mention any of that as jerry seinfeld has yeah then they come

00:30:06.060 after you yeah oh yeah and that's how it's happening it's happening right now where's the we have the uh

00:30:11.500 i have a sorry there's a new list out the 13 jokes that are no longer acceptable from seinfeld oh geez

00:30:20.620 my gosh oh here it is from the show from the or from his stand-up comedy from the show okay 13

00:30:25.420 jokes seinfeld are now super offensive number one the soup nazi no longer allowed to like the soup

00:30:31.260 nazi anymore um number why do they explain why what might be what the most well-known joke from

00:30:36.780 seinfeld is also one of the most disappointing ones maybe in 1995 when the episode titled the soup

00:30:43.260 nazi aired it felt okay for viewers but in 2018 when groups of neo-nazis have become noticeably

00:30:49.580 emboldened using the term nazi to label someone as a joke doesn't sit so well anymore these are

00:30:55.340 people telling us what comedy is supposed to be that's unreal number two the indian giver joke 1.00

00:31:02.460 joking about a native american person being an indian giver was never okay and it's definitely not 1.00

00:31:07.340 okay now joking that a racial stereotype about an oppressed group is actually truthful and is at a

00:31:12.300 dangerous road is and seinfeld probably couldn't get away with doing that in 2018 who are these people

00:31:18.540 who lives like this also i might be wrong on this but the term indian giver is not more a slam

00:31:25.660 on the u.s government who used to give them land all the time and then take it back

00:31:30.940 that makes sense isn't that more a slam on the u.s government than it is the actual indians i've never 0.98

00:31:36.940 thought about it i just i gotta think that maybe that makes sense though does doesn't it you're an indian

00:31:43.020 giver so you gave it to the indians and then you took it away right 0.81

00:31:45.340 just the whole definition of that of that phrase they should be on board with this one

00:31:49.900 it's criticizing the u.s government right i like that um kramer stomping on a burning puerto rican 0.80

00:31:55.180 flag this episode actually caused a controversy when it aired a new york times reported that the

00:31:59.740 president of the national puerto rican coalition called it an unconscionable insult it's unacceptable

00:32:06.060 that the puerto rican flag would be used by seinfeld as a stage prop under any circumstances

00:32:10.620 over 20 years later the joke is still sour wow uh the joke that someone thinks jerry and george are

00:32:18.620 in a same-sex relationship can't guess can't joke about that anymore when kramer has house guests

00:32:23.020 from japan sleep in his dresser drawers i don't remember that i don't really either when jerry

00:32:30.540 accidentally gets a man deported oh that's wrong you can't talk about that um cedric and bob appeared in

00:32:35.580 three episodes including a puerto rican day episode each episode they appear the two characters who make up a

00:32:40.300 gay couple play up stereotypes with uh with homosexual male culture oh my gosh you can't do 0.99

00:32:45.820 that again i mean you know uh what was the show uh will and grace i mean will and grace was put on

00:32:50.940 the air initially it's it's seen as this big like a boundary breaking show it's about gay uh issues and

00:32:56.620 it's one of the only issues stories that have been like that will and grace largely was an issue uh where

00:33:01.580 they they created a show in which they could make a ridiculous gay stereotype and make as many gay jokes

00:33:06.380 as they wanted with protection i swear to you the the the ridiculous stereotypes in that show are way

00:33:12.540 worse than any other show i've ever seen yes they have one uh quote unquote normal guy who's gay but 0.92

00:33:19.340 then they just throw in another guy who does every horrible stereotype that has ever been used against

00:33:24.060 gay people right and that was praised well joe piden said will and grace probably did more to educate

00:33:28.460 the american public than almost anything anybody's ever done i can't wait for him to run up i can't wait

00:33:36.300 for it it's ridiculous this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:33:42.460 um sad news for uh people living in humboldt county california the organizers for the women's march that

00:34:01.020 was going to happen there uh they announced on friday it's been it's been canceled due to whiteness

00:34:07.180 canceled due to whiteness uh a lot of a lot of white people had signed up to participate

00:34:14.460 and uh well you can't have that it's embarrassing they just couldn't find enough black anti-semites

00:34:19.660 to fill the unfortunately no they couldn't they couldn't do it that's sad so there were i guess not

00:34:24.860 enough blacks and hispanics uh for their liking so they said they're still interested in holding an 0.97

00:34:32.060 event in march on international women's day um but they did have to cancel this one due to 0.90

00:34:38.780 and this is a quote overwhelmingly white participants

00:34:45.820 i love that what it's interesting too because this is essentially an implicit criticism of black

00:34:54.060 people and hispanics right it's not like they said we don't allow blacks and hispanics to come to this

00:34:59.020 rally right it's for whatever reason blacks and hispanics didn't want to come to the right they 1.00

00:35:02.780 didn't feel like it they didn't feel like it for whatever reason that would seem to be an indictment

00:35:06.460 on minorities right from their perspective right yes wait why aren't the why aren't the black and

00:35:11.180 hispanic voters or you know uh you know people and and you know they don't even have to be voters

00:35:15.900 but just people why aren't they showing up to our stupid little rally it's almost like they don't 0.51

00:35:19.340 care about this issue in a way it's critical of them right plenty of white people showed yeah

00:35:25.260 white people showed i assume even men showed to the women's rally but but not enough black people

00:35:31.740 uh the census bureau data from from this county says 74 percent are white 12 percent hispanic

00:35:39.260 six percent native american two percent asian and one percent black so if you didn't have at least

00:35:44.780 those percentages going i guess the rally's not worth doing they can get one percent black to show 0.84

00:35:50.380 for the rally apparently not well and and the thing is of course there's no actual answer here

00:35:56.780 if you had 13 hispanic and one percent black for all that diversity but six percent native american

00:36:02.860 it will never be enough no it's not i mean 74 of this county is white it's that's about the 0.99

00:36:08.460 percentage of the united states in general um you know the nfl is called racist and 75 of the league

00:36:14.860 is black and that's not that's not that's still racist especially for like lebron james who doesn't

00:36:22.140 he's not even in the nfl right and yet he's calling out the nfl for being uh the white owners have a

00:36:28.460 slave mentality oh i'm so glad after all my lebron dislike over all of these years that so many people

00:36:36.780 are now seeing oh i'm right there with you i'm right i just can't stand this guy every time he opens

00:36:41.420 his mouth you see how ridiculous he is he really is ridiculous seriously these men that are making

00:36:47.180 you know anywhere from 2 million to 25 or 30 million a year you have the audacity to call them

00:36:53.580 to call those owners who are paying him that money they have a slave mentality unreal maybe you need to

00:37:00.220 look up what a slave is because by definition they don't make any money for playing these games

00:37:06.700 uh plus they're not forced into playing these games right there's a lot of problems the only

00:37:12.460 difference is all the things is everything yeah all but it's just that possibility um and you know

00:37:19.020 there's never that's an amazing thing though first of all look what was what's the what is the problem

00:37:26.460 with racism right the problem with racism is you're taking a group of people and you're identifying them

00:37:33.260 in a you're grouping them all together right and you are um uh disliking them for whatever reason

00:37:41.260 you're assigning a tendency to all of them just based on their skin color exactly tell me how this

00:37:46.300 women's march thing isn't racist they're they're first of all identifying people based on race and 0.99

00:37:51.260 making decisions based on skin color which is never a good idea never make a decision based on skin color

00:37:58.700 easy rule to live by it's a freaking easy one to live by i think so never ever do it period that

00:38:05.580 doesn't that means not giving them all sorts of perks above and beyond other colors like saying oh

00:38:10.540 black people get more than hispanics it's not doing that either and it's saying hey black people get 0.99

00:38:15.100 less than hispanics it's not doing that either it's neither you never make a decision based on skin

00:38:19.420 color or race really easy but here they're saying hey not enough black people came so number one they're

00:38:25.100 making a decision based on race number two what they're implicitly saying because they believe

00:38:30.140 their organization is good is they're saying the people who aren't coming are bad it's how is it not

00:38:36.300 implicitly racist this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:38:55.100 it was a great great vacation it was a it was a great christmas in in new year's season right up

00:39:02.780 until uh friday morning i thought when i first got a text jeffy just had a heart attack i'm like wait

00:39:12.060 what i i mean pretty uh pretty nerve shattering and uh pretty scary and um so he wound up in the

00:39:25.500 hospital and uh in true jeffy fashion was uh hassling the nurses every time they came in

00:39:34.380 was uh he was hassling the emts when they were working on him as he's having a fairly major heart

00:39:40.700 attack um but fortunately uh he pulled through pretty well and by friday afternoon he's sitting

00:39:48.780 up in a chair next to his bed at the hospital amazing just incredible uh so i think that's

00:39:54.300 a real tribute to first of all modern medical science and and uh and and the chances that you

00:40:01.820 have if you have a heart attack and you make it to the hospital there's a pretty good chance they can

00:40:06.140 save you which is incredible that was not always the case right we've talked about this before

00:40:10.860 with the issue of you know the rates of people dying by disease cancers you know heart disease

00:40:16.460 all these things have dropped dramatically in the last couple of decades we've made massive

00:40:21.020 improvements uh just because you know the technology has improved and we made major leaps

00:40:26.380 we don't necessarily like recognize it but that really was a

00:40:28.940 a stark example with jeffy you know even though our you know health care in this country is

00:40:36.940 so pathetic and rates behind botswana right it's like i don't think that's true guys i don't think

00:40:44.300 it's true yeah i don't i don't know i mean i'm not saying it's a perfect system there's lots of issues

00:40:48.540 with it and cost can be a problem at times but i mean in reality like thank god we live here

00:40:54.460 thank god we have the the access to to the system that we have and thank god they haven't screwed it

00:40:59.980 up yet and they're trying they're doing everything they can to screw it up yeah uh but thank god so

00:41:05.180 far they've been unsuccessful and we got somebody on the phone now who can actually attest to all of

00:41:09.660 this uh hey jeffy yeah i i can attest to uh yes the uh the health care at least the help you know like

00:41:17.660 the the um ambulance uh workers and the fire rescue guys while i was uh i may have made some

00:41:24.380 comments to them that they didn't appreciate uh they were great and had it not been for you know

00:41:30.780 my wife calling and them getting here saying yes you're having a heart attack and yes we're taking

00:41:36.300 you to the hospital right now um there'd be no more me there's no question about right which is

00:41:42.300 which is really they're amazing to think of that we we could have lost you but uh you mentioned

00:41:48.220 something interesting that your your wife uh did go ahead and call 9-1-1 which you told her not to do

00:41:54.380 well i did but really that last time was more of a no but yes call get them here now

00:42:04.460 so she was supposed to read between the lines then yeah yeah she did yes it's a great time for

00:42:09.900 subtlety jeffy yes it's a great time because you know really if i know uh you know you talk about

00:42:15.660 the health care but you know preventative care probably would have been a smart thing there too

00:42:20.220 what for a couple you think i know i know a couple of days prior to the heart attack that didn't go

00:42:27.500 away you know i woke up with chest pain and i was like oh i'll be fine and it went away and it'll be

00:42:33.900 okay and you know i probably probably should have said something to someone maybe potentially

00:42:42.060 since you've been injecting lard directly into your veins for years

00:42:47.500 apparently what happens when you do that uh the left side of your heart just completely shuts down

00:42:53.500 yeah that's not a good idea that was really scary i saw the picture of of it completely blocked uh it

00:43:01.580 i mean it's that's really scary looking uh you see that it was a hundred percent right and one

00:43:06.620 one of one are the arteries 100 the left side which apparently is nicknamed the widow maker for

00:43:13.500 good reason uh was completely blocked and the doctors have told me that you know if i didn't come when

00:43:19.820 i did that would have been it i wouldn't have made it and wow most of the time most of the time

00:43:25.980 people don't make it in time which was really chilling well that sure is it sure is kind of

00:43:32.860 makes your ears perk up and think okay maybe i should listen to what they tell me now and hopefully

00:43:39.900 you're doing that it's probably not a good idea to inject the lard directly

00:43:44.140 or the tars and nicotines directly into your lungs uh because that can constrict the uh arteries

00:43:55.420 and cause a problem they are not a fan of that the doctors and the hospitals are not a fan of

00:44:00.860 the nicotine input at all oh that was their big case but you know this the uh the outpouring from

00:44:07.900 uh our listeners and of course co-workers was overwhelming i mean i really thank you all it

00:44:15.900 was oh really overwhelming and it meant so much and hey it worked your prayers and well wishes and

00:44:21.420 thoughts worked because yeah by the way i survived i know it's an interesting dynamic you have going on

00:44:27.900 jeffy because i i the outpouring was unbelievable and i cannot remember ever seeing anything like it i mean

00:44:33.820 that you know for whatever reason this audience loves jeffy and i i never been able to put a finger

00:44:39.900 on as to why uh but they love it but it was funny to see people who were like oh my gosh like this is

00:44:46.060 the you know i can't believe this we're praying for you jeffy and then you look at the the twitter

00:44:49.740 handle it's like jeffy is fat you're just like i don't know can you make that your twitter name is

00:44:56.860 jeffy is fat you're not allowed to that's fantastic

00:45:02.860 but i mean it really was i mean honestly like uh they you know people people really like really

00:45:09.340 care and that's it's cool every once in a while you see that you know every once in a while you do

00:45:14.300 although you find out just really they don't really because in the hospital after at the hospital

00:45:19.100 you figure you have to stay there and they take care of you how about the third day they're like

00:45:23.980 you're done get out right well it's true and i i actually took that as a real sign of i was amazed

00:45:30.140 by just like the the quality of our health care system in a in a weird way jeffy because i saw you

00:45:36.620 uh yesterday was it and you were up and about and and they said to you look you know you can go back

00:45:42.620 to work whenever you feel okay like you're basically not overly restricted it's amazing no i i mean obviously

00:45:49.820 i have to go see a heart doc now and get his uh direct input but because the guy that was on call

00:45:56.860 for the surgery who you know just a uncalled heart surgeon amazing you know when i left the house here

00:46:04.860 apparently i got worse on my way to the hospital so i bypassed everything when i went to the hospital i

00:46:12.060 went right into the surgery and uh the i just i just remember being hey we're going to go take

00:46:19.100 you right into surgery and that was it and these guys are incredible i mean really that talked about

00:46:25.820 me sitting up and there's a i have some more stories about one of the reasons i was sitting up was because

00:46:31.020 of the great bed that they have there but uh the other reason is that you know really it was i was i was

00:46:36.700 okay i mean my chest really hurt obviously and you know my lungs because of the surgery but i mean it's

00:46:43.740 i was okay and now you know i'm just i'm trying to get my energy back and and be okay but as far as

00:46:52.060 hurting and aching and not being able to get up in the day that's all gone it's amazing

00:47:00.380 jeffy i wanted to ask you uh did you open up the christmas present i bought for you

00:47:07.660 i did i thought i had posted it but it hadn't been posted yet so i did open up your christmas

00:47:12.060 thank you very much it meant a lot it meant a lot to me that you would give me a recalled lettuce

00:47:21.500 wow that is a giant bag of romaine all wrapped up in pretty christmas uh that is really a thoughtful

00:47:27.740 gift i mean i guess i guess in today's world if you've got recalled lettuce in your freezer and you

00:47:33.420 don't know what to do with it give it to the fat neighbor i guess that's the plan i don't know

00:47:40.140 i thought you'd appreciate it jeffy yeah

00:47:44.940 well we uh you know we miss you and you of course uh can't wait for you to come back but

00:47:49.580 don't you know your typical jeffy's like i think i might come in on on wednesday and i'm like no

00:47:54.540 we're not accepting you on wednesday save by at least a few days the chewing the fat the podcast

00:48:00.300 with jeff fisher will come back it's it's waiting for you when you come back but please don't rush

00:48:05.340 back i can't deal with another one of these things i can't deal with it yeah that was too scary too

00:48:10.140 much to do here jeffy too much too much work to do it mostly it really was scary and again thank you

00:48:16.060 to the outpouring from you know the listeners and the fans and the co-workers i mean it was it truly was

00:48:21.500 overwhelming and it means a lot to myself and my family for sure have you tweeted out the picture

00:48:27.340 of the emt trying to push you up the hill yet i'm glad you brought that up but

00:48:35.340 no i have not i thought uh i just thought that was you know going to stay in house but i guess not

00:48:40.700 no apparently apparently there they left uh the other emt's they were having me leave take me out of

00:48:50.300 the house they left one guy by himself trying to hold me so trying to hold me uh up against the

00:48:57.580 the ambulance we live on a you know a little bit of a hill and uh he was apparently so they don't

00:49:03.580 make uh emts as strong as they used to i guess apparently not apparently not he was really struggling

00:49:10.060 trying to hold me up against the truck but you know think of uh you laugh about that and and obviously we

00:49:15.500 we we have but had he not been able to hold me uh that's a whole other story yeah because you

00:49:22.860 would have been rolling down the hill you'd still be going yeah there's definitely a a viral video of

00:49:28.620 jeffy uh uh rolling out from the back of an ambulance with a gown flapping in the wind that would uh

00:49:35.660 broken the internet it definitely would have broken the internet but uh yeah i mean it it was i'm sure that

00:49:43.100 he all of a sudden realized um guys need a little help here guy here all right and of course my wife

00:49:52.140 loving me so much decided hey i'll take a picture yeah yeah i did wonder how we had a picture i mean

00:49:57.500 she pretty much saved your life so it's hard to be critical uh but the fact that she was documenting

00:50:01.820 your loading into the ambulance on social media was uh questionable there's some pictures that will

00:50:08.300 not ever get posted probably to all of our benefit i think on that one jeffy all right we're we're
