00:00:01.000
Stu, if you were analyzing this program, what would you say the play or the player of the day was?
00:00:07.740
Wow, that is amazing. Really? I'm a little humble, and I'm humbled by your words.
00:00:13.280
I didn't say anything that would compliment you in any way.
00:00:18.560
Great show today. I was actually surprised because Stu is one of the more informed people around.
00:00:26.220
And I presented some new things on freedom of speech that are happening all around the world and are coming here, already here in America.
00:00:38.180
Things that he hadn't heard before, and that was a little surprising to me.
00:00:45.040
It shows even if you are really well informed, you could be missing some very, very important things.
00:00:54.960
We also talk a little bit about Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and the ballot, all of it on today's podcast.
00:01:17.620
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:28.640
Well, pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good.
00:01:30.660
Are you into this Jeffrey Epstein thing as much as it seems everybody else is?
00:01:37.940
I think what I'm supposed to say is yes, but I don't know, man.
00:01:44.320
Look, I'm very, very interested in what actually happened with Jeffrey Epstein and many of these names that have been released and many more.
00:01:58.380
Well, I just hear beyond that. That's how I feel. I want to know.
00:02:03.200
But everything that I'm hearing now, I just also hear this in my head.
00:02:16.800
Oh, Bill Clinton. Donald Trump. Stephen Hawking.
00:02:25.860
This is a circus. This is a cake that they are feeding us at the circus.
00:02:31.940
I didn't get much that was new out of this. Did you?
00:02:36.160
Was there anything that you saw in these names that you were surprised about?
00:02:40.020
I mean, David Copperfield was not a surprise, I got to say.
00:02:44.040
But like, I don't, none of this was a surprise.
00:02:46.580
Like we knew, we still don't know to the extent that Bill Clinton was involved in this.
00:02:57.480
Like, this is a bunch of people who were brought up by, you know, in various, everything, Cameron Diaz was brought.
00:03:07.880
I don't think Cameron Diaz was involved. I don't know.
00:03:13.680
And it strikes me as like, there's other information that is held, not in these lawsuits, but by the government.
00:03:30.160
So he lands in an airport, private airport near New York City.
00:03:36.780
And at that moment, they go and they raid his condo.
00:03:39.280
The government takes all sorts of evidence, tape, documents, God knows what.
00:03:48.900
And then Jeffrey Epstein kills himself, or you may have another theory on that.
00:03:57.780
I've been fashioning a noose out of paper napkins and lace doilies.
00:04:03.100
When I need to go, those lace doilies and those papered thin, thin, you know, single-ply toilet paper nooses, I'll be so dead so fast.
00:04:21.240
Any of that information and seemingly no path to get it at any point.
00:04:26.060
Like, every little bit of evidence in this particular case is positive.
00:04:37.320
What am I supposed to do with that information?
00:05:00.660
We don't have any evidence of it, but he was named.
00:05:02.660
And all these people have plausible deniability.
00:05:11.580
Jeffrey Epstein hung out with basically every power player that you know.
00:05:16.560
Now, that doesn't mean they all were hooking up with 12-year-olds.
00:05:25.740
You should think that, but we should argue about it.
00:05:38.880
And I got to say, too, there's a huge line here.
00:05:40.680
Like, the Donald Trump part of this is particularly egregious, right?
00:05:49.100
Donald Trump is on the record talking about how much Jeffrey Epstein seems to like younger
00:05:56.320
They weren't close friends, but they ran in powerful circles.
00:06:01.020
They were very rich people in powerful circles.
00:06:03.120
All of this long before any of the accusations against Epstein were public.
00:06:08.840
You're hanging out with a person, let's say, 12 years before he's accused of a crime.
00:06:14.500
There's no reason for you to be mentioned in the same sentence.
00:06:17.380
And before he was charged with a crime, Donald Trump kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:27.320
No, and said it was because he made some sexual advance on an underage girl, banned him from
00:06:34.800
the club, divorced him as a friend, long before any of this came out.
00:06:40.120
So it's really egregious to try to tie him into this particular thing.
00:06:49.500
Maxwell is on the record saying Bill Clinton likes him young.
00:06:57.080
Bill Gates met with Epstein after all of this stuff went down.
00:07:04.540
All that stuff went down where people knew what Epstein was involved in and he still was
00:07:11.180
And his divorce with his wife is rumored to be about that.
00:07:16.740
Before this became a big story, it was rumored that she was...
00:07:22.200
She had had it with his relationship with Epstein.
00:07:27.720
That was one of the things that was brought up in the divorce, apparently.
00:07:34.160
Is there more evidence to support anything nefarious here?
00:07:37.780
I mean, you've seen the interview with Bill Gates on this, probably.
00:07:40.160
But it's like, he's really uncomfortable and it's weird.
00:07:50.780
Like, we're just going down this road of like, well, let's just talk about Donald Trump
00:07:53.940
because, you know, you're mentioning Bill Clinton, so we'll bring up Donald Trump.
00:07:58.740
Like, it is the circus that you're talking about.
00:08:01.120
So here's the thing that you should pay attention to.
00:08:04.800
When anybody is talking about this today, you should say, you know, the FBI director has
00:08:10.600
the black book, has all of the evidence, most likely has all of the tapes because they took
00:08:21.080
And it is now under the purview of the FBI, the director of the FBI.
00:08:26.580
Do you think that's too much power for one man to have, to have all of that information?
00:08:34.480
Do you think it was most likely done as an intel operation?
00:08:40.940
Most likely, Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence officer.
00:08:48.000
That's why, no hands-on, nobody's going to say anything about him.
00:08:57.580
So he was blackmailing people or using that for other countries or our country to blackmail people.
00:09:10.160
Should one man in our government have access to that?
00:09:14.500
And because it is revolving around the rich, the powerful, the politically connected, shouldn't
00:09:26.680
Because if it was just a truck driver union, we'd know all the names.
00:09:35.160
And they'd be in jail if they had done something.
00:09:45.880
Okay, even if you say that's okay, which I don't.
00:09:53.000
Should one person, is that one person going to be able to use any of this?
00:09:59.080
Because that one person could say, you know what, we're going to release this on you.
00:10:08.740
It is exactly the kind of stuff that Stalin would have loved.
00:10:13.820
It's exactly the reason why everybody hates J. Edgar Hoover and thought J. Edgar Hoover was a nightmare.
00:10:20.160
This one cache of information has probably more damaging things than Hoover had collected over 50 years.
00:10:35.160
I think we should stop talking about who's on this list where it gives us really nothing and start talking about why is the FBI not releasing everything.
00:10:47.260
Remember, this is the same FBI that had the laptop of Hunter Biden for two years before you had even heard of it.
00:11:16.400
I mean, if you think about it, like we had that hypothetical conversation.
00:11:21.780
What would what would have happened to the Hunter Biden laptop if there wasn't a copy left at this computer store?
00:11:28.820
Like, let's just say it got into the FBI's hands and they, you know, the guy at the Apple store didn't keep a copy.
00:11:39.400
And we know, like, this Epstein thing is the story.
00:11:46.720
There would have been a rumor about what was in there and we never would have known how it paid off.
00:11:51.300
Can we go back to the ABC anchor that was doing, I think, Saturday morning, you know, Good Morning America or something.
00:12:13.360
First of all, I was told, who's Jeffrey Epstein?
00:12:17.740
Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.
00:12:24.980
We were so afraid we wouldn't be able to interview Kate and Will that we, that also quashed the story.
00:12:33.720
And then, and then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in it because of the planes.
00:13:03.460
Like, every day I get more and more pissed because I'm just like, oh my God.
00:13:15.340
Brad Edwards, the attorney, three years ago saying, like, like, we, there will come a day where we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known.
00:13:26.880
And that's a humble, we've, and we still don't have that report.
00:13:41.300
I mean, I will say, you know, on the Alan Dershowitz front, I mean, she came out and said, ah, maybe it wasn't Alan Dershowitz years later.
00:13:49.760
And it's important to know that all of her accusations did not seem to prove, to prove out.
00:13:55.320
Certainly the Dershowitz one fell apart completely by her own words.
00:13:58.600
So, I mean, I absolutely believe it about Bill Clinton, but that's just because I think I know who Bill Clinton is, and it sounds like Bill Clinton.
00:14:08.760
However, I wouldn't say Bill Clinton needs to be rounded up as a pedophile.
00:14:16.560
Yeah, it's unfair in a way that, you know, I'm sure, again, I kind of agree with your take on what actually happened, but he should have, we should have the evidence so that we can figure out whether these things occurred or not.
00:14:32.880
No one deserves, no one, because of their position, deserves to have all of this boarded up.
00:14:42.740
Okay, he's a former president, but, Cincinnati's, you're a farmer, you go to serve, you come back, you're a farmer.
00:14:55.260
I can understand while you're in office, maybe you don't do things because it's just a distraction of the presidency, it's a weapon.
00:15:03.260
But afterwards, why does he get special protection?
00:15:07.980
This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:15:22.800
This is from last night's Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.
00:15:26.900
So this is where a few words that I'm absolutely sick of come into play, and I'm sick of them because people don't know really what they are.
00:15:34.400
First one, stakeholder, okay, and public-private partnership.
00:15:46.500
Public, that's the government, and this is business.
00:15:56.080
Why are so many liberals and progressives, suddenly they hate corporations, but suddenly they're in love with it because they partner with the government.
00:16:05.260
They might think the government is going to bring them down and hold them.
00:16:09.740
I can guarantee you these people are going to be running the government.
00:16:18.240
This means everybody has a dog in the fight for any given issue.
00:16:21.960
For example, let's talk just about Facebook, okay?
00:16:29.260
I mean, you are part of it, but that's really not what they're doing.
00:16:33.340
Woven in between the multiple stops along the entire thing are stakeholders.
00:16:43.860
I'm guessing I'm making these up, but Google Ads.
00:16:50.280
Those people have the banks that they're responsible.
00:17:02.300
That's the way public-private partnerships work.
00:17:05.920
So you have all of these people and all of these individual companies all have another public-private partnership with the U.S. government or the global government.
00:17:27.480
But we have something in the U.S. Constitution that stops any kind of shenanigans here.
00:17:40.700
That's what's supposed to stand between these two things.
00:17:50.600
If you choose to do business with those businesses and they want to take your right of privacy away, that's fine.
00:17:59.060
But if they ever really violate things, then you can run to the government.
00:18:02.600
But if the government is in bed with those companies, who do you call when things go wrong?
00:18:11.880
All of these stakeholders, they have a collected interest.
00:18:21.920
Well, then Amazon might get pressure here and say, you know, what are you doing helping Facebook?
00:18:38.780
If you don't think that's not happening with Elon Musk, you're sadly mistaken.
00:18:45.020
And do you think if Elon Musk would have played the game, if he would have just said, yeah, I'm with all of this stuff, do you think he'd be in trouble like he is now?
00:19:02.060
It's public-private partnerships and stakeholders.
00:19:21.480
Fascism is when you're allowed to own a private company, but you will do what the government says you have to do.
00:19:27.700
We are talking now about a system that will control your cognitive abilities.
00:19:37.880
So they are now talking about structures that do all kinds of things.
00:19:44.980
And it's going to bypass the U.S. government and our constitution.
00:19:50.040
And we are already seeing this happen all over the world.
00:19:59.300
Last month, there was a document out from the U.N.
00:20:02.400
It's the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
00:20:06.560
The specific release was addressed directly to the United States.
00:20:16.800
But their guidelines are the things that we now need to follow to fix our issues.
00:20:22.040
Now, listen to this from Section C, Paragraph 5.
00:20:28.300
This says we should, quote, raise awareness of the covenant among judges, lawyers, and prosecutors to ensure that its provisions are invoked before the domestic courts and taken into account in their decisions.
00:20:46.460
So, if you are violating something that could make people think certain things, well, then you're in violation of a U.N. declaration.
00:21:00.720
And before it even goes anywhere to the state courts or even to the federal court, the judges have to know, no, they're already in violation of the covenant.
00:21:22.380
I'm going to tell you on tomorrow's program, there's a great article out about somebody predicting how this is going to come this year.
00:21:43.920
It's exactly what I hate to go here, but it's exactly what Hitler did.
00:21:51.320
Germany, the Republic of Germany, had been destroyed.
00:22:05.780
He restored, quote, the Republic, but it looked nothing like it was before.
00:22:19.420
Germany, that's exactly how this is going to happen.
00:22:23.700
Page three of this document, and it's all available at glenbeck.com, directly addresses limits on free speech, including the weaponization of the FBI as a resource.
00:22:37.600
About four months ago, the UN Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, these are the people that decide that the Statue of Liberty is a World Heritage site.
00:22:53.640
Guidelines for the governance of digital platforms.
00:22:59.420
Apparently, this is all for our own well-being, they're building something called the Internet of Trust.
00:23:05.880
This is what Al Gore was talking about a few minutes ago.
00:23:08.520
We have to have something that we all know and trust.
00:23:13.360
Quote, the guidelines outline a set of duties, responsibilities, and roles for states, digital platforms,
00:23:23.100
intergovernmental organizations, civil society, media, academia, and technical community, and other stakeholders.
00:23:33.180
So notice they all are talking about stakeholders.
00:23:40.440
In other words, the public-private partnerships directly with state governments.
00:23:45.900
Going deeper, any time a government wants to restrict speech and censor, but they can't legally do it,
00:23:52.260
this document from the UN provides the blueprint.
00:23:57.840
Under the guise of, quote, international human rights laws and standards,
00:24:03.540
this UNESCO document that is spreading like wildfire all across the world reiterates the fact over and over again.
00:24:14.800
The guidelines recognize that the application of these rules and regulations in every governance system
00:24:22.420
must adhere to international human rights standards, including with Article 19, Section 3.
00:24:35.960
Article 19, Section 3, talks about respecting privacy, except under a few conditions.
00:24:47.960
Right to privacy, except for the respect—no, I'm sorry.
00:24:56.000
Right to privacy, with the respect of rights and reputation to others.
00:25:01.960
Any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination,
00:25:10.900
hostility, or violence shall be prohibited by law.
00:25:14.920
So you have a right to privacy unless you're involved in any of that national, racial, or religious hatred.
00:25:25.960
And discrimination, or hostility, or we don't have a right to privacy, you know, if it's just the reputation of people.
00:25:36.940
Just those two standards could do anything to censor you, me, everybody.
00:25:47.640
It also proposes codes of conduct that may, quote, be granted legal force, which would serve as regulation.
00:26:00.020
So the media councils can oversee the enforcement, and whatever the councils decide, they're granted legal force.
00:26:10.160
This is already being passed and being used and adopted all over the world.
00:26:25.780
Your Senate, your House doesn't have to do anything.
00:26:30.580
All of the companies will be operating with this document.
00:26:35.640
So all of the companies around the world, they'll all be operating with this document.
00:26:52.680
And the government, well, you can do whatever you want, I guess.
00:26:58.760
Listen, this is a way to take each government in the entire West and, without changing really anything, changing the way it works and who it answers to.
00:27:21.100
But these companies, private-public partnerships, I mean, they've decided they're going this way.
00:27:31.420
This is going to be an unprecedented attack on free speech this year.
00:27:39.840
But if you want more information on all of this, please watch last night's Wednesday night special on Blaze TV or my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
00:27:52.860
All of the documents, the original documents, I'm not asking you to do any homework.
00:27:58.320
I'm asking you just to read it for yourself and connect the dots and see what it actually means.
00:28:10.780
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:28:13.300
I just – we'll get off the car thing here in a second.
00:28:22.580
But I just have to point one car out to you that's up for sale.
00:28:25.800
And I can't – I have no idea what it even costs.
00:28:31.660
And I think this is – am I completely out of step with everybody in the world?
00:28:36.700
This – Barrett Jackson has this – it's a restomod, 1964 Lincoln Continental, drop-top, suicide doors, in perfect condition.
00:28:54.780
And I talked to Jay Leno one time and I said, you know, my dream car is a Lincoln Continental suicide door, the kind that Kennedy was killed in.
00:29:03.240
And he said, oh, no, you don't want one of those.
00:29:13.260
He said, Glenn, I have to fly in a guy – I can't remember where it was, like Kansas.
00:29:19.080
He's like, there's one guy who is the guy to fix this car.
00:29:36.360
Are you speaking directly – you know you're not on a phone call with your wife right now, right?
00:29:40.620
I'd be dead if I were on a phone call with my wife.
00:29:42.940
Wait, so – and this is – so this is a car, when you say restomod, that's like –
00:29:47.040
Restomod, the snotty people get upset at restomod.
00:29:56.520
Right, okay, so they take the shell of the old car.
00:29:59.040
Yeah, and this one I think is – I think frame up.
00:30:02.680
I don't even know if the frame is – the body, I know, is the Lincoln Continental.
00:30:16.640
And you could, like, I want to wear that body today.
00:30:24.740
And so it's like this thing where I like the new technology.
00:30:36.720
And the problem is, if you get the old style, then it's always breaking down.
00:30:43.760
So this gives you the new technology with the cool old body.
00:30:46.220
Yeah, somebody just needs to be able to do this cheaply, you know?
00:30:48.820
So you get – hey, it's a $50,000, you know, Lincoln Continental.
00:30:59.080
I mean, I don't know if that's – I don't know what the market is for that.
00:31:02.260
But the good thing is, if you wait long enough, $50,000 will be like $5.
00:31:13.940
I've been going, don't get into debt for so long.
00:31:28.500
But you know, this amazing accomplishment happened while still cutting the budget more than anybody
00:31:39.940
We've been playing on a four-minute buzz today.
00:31:41.860
I don't know if we have that handy, but it is her trying to somehow talk herself out
00:31:48.760
of Joe Biden's failures with the debt in the country.
00:31:55.780
It is – I mean, again, we all know Corinne Jean-Pierre is an idiot, right?
00:32:01.280
And throughout this entire answer, most of it she's reading, and it's still this bad.
00:32:09.940
Do you have any reaction to the new data out of Treasury that the national debt has hit
00:32:16.640
So, yeah, if you look at that data, there's a trickle-down debt, if you think about it.
00:32:25.260
Republican tax cuts are responsible about 90% of it.
00:32:28.740
Debt as a share of the economy over the last two decades, excluding emergency spending.
00:32:42.260
Now, of course, the way the budget works, they don't come up with one, right?
00:32:45.820
So, they categorize all sorts of things as emergency spending that is not emergency spending.
00:32:51.420
But, like, just in recent history, does anyone remember, I don't know, $6 or $7 trillion we
00:33:13.720
Okay, just don't pay attention to the purse spending.
00:33:16.380
Well, it's the purse spending that's the problem.
00:33:19.020
It's the emergency spending that's the problem.
00:33:24.080
You know, it's like telling your wife, look, honey, I am completely loyal to you, with the
00:33:30.360
Like, you know, it's like, with the exception of the trips to Epstein Island, everything is
00:33:36.300
I do not have sex with underage children, except when I go to the island with Jeffrey.
00:33:49.600
And, you know, these, I mean, she, and you could see as she's going through this, like,
00:33:53.440
I love the mind or lack thereof of Corinne Jean-Pierre, because she goes through, first
00:34:00.140
She knows a question is coming on $34 trillion, probably, actually literally knew it was coming.
00:34:06.560
But, you know, again, this is part of the preparation process, I would imagine, for something
00:34:10.300
And all she can remember is the word, or the phrase, trickle-down.
00:34:15.380
Like, she knows that's negatively associated with Republicans.
00:34:18.660
She's like, you know, if you think about it, it's kind of a trickle-down thing.
00:34:24.760
It's a completely ridiculous, you know, nonsensical catchphrase she's memorized, and she's flipping
00:34:32.860
through the pages to find the context of what she's talking about.
00:34:37.080
I mean, does this happen to any other person in any other line of work?
00:34:41.400
She is, like, stalling to get to the page in her notebook so that she can read the answer
00:34:51.640
This is an honest question, because I was thinking, geez, are we going to be dealing with
00:34:59.240
And then I thought, do we even make it to an election?
00:35:10.040
As the decisions disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election work their
00:35:15.700
way through the courts, a new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same ballot cleansing.
00:35:22.180
It's only the latest effort targeting congressional candidates as Democrats seek to bar opponents
00:35:30.800
We've become a nation of Madame Defarge's early knitting names, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:36.160
In, where was it, in South Carolina, North Carolina.
00:35:43.000
In North Carolina, they, in their primary election, the Democrats have just taken the name of Dean
00:35:53.240
Phillips, Marianne Williamson, and sank what's-his-face off of the ballot, leaving the only choice for
00:36:09.020
Again, Joe Biden is going to win that election by 60 points, 70 points?
00:36:19.800
Again, while you're arguing that we must protect democracy, why unearth?
00:36:28.600
Dean Phillips is not going to win the election at the polls.
00:36:32.240
Oh, but with enough positive thinking and enough positive energy, Marianne-
00:36:35.600
Marianne-Williamson may, with a combination of crystals and oils, may wind up winning.
00:36:45.040
Like, when RFK Jr. was on the ballot, maybe you could make an argument that he had a couple polls that
00:36:52.300
I mean, it's a bizarre argument to me, but he's not even doing, he's not even running anymore as a Democrat.
00:37:06.900
But inside of that, we do have elements of democracy.
00:37:18.660
Then they vote for the representative for the republic.
00:37:23.860
That's, I mean, they're the only democracy part we have.
00:37:30.320
And while they're making the argument with no pushback from the media, you know, we might
00:37:36.580
remind you that the media has slogans like democracy dies in darkness, right?
00:37:42.080
This is how they supposedly think about our system.
00:37:45.640
It's so sacred to them that they can't possibly see it going away.
00:37:50.240
And yet, here they are, instead of just going out and trying to win, like, at some point,
00:37:56.220
have the balls to admit you're in a contest against somebody else and win.
00:38:01.000
Like, you know, I'm so sick of people whining about losing.
00:38:05.240
And then acting as if they just go out and win.
00:38:08.180
If Ron DeSantis loses Iowa, he should be able to come out and say, hey, I got my ass kicked.
00:38:13.740
I haven't read anything in the National Review in a long time, but I had to read about what
00:38:25.120
And it talks about how they are all saying, this is a dictatorship.
00:38:36.480
He is, I mean, all the things that we say about, you know, what the left is doing right
00:38:42.280
now, but we're still playing in the same sandbox.
00:38:48.160
These people, they're already subverting the Constitution.
00:38:54.340
They're already breaking their own oaths and everything else to keep him off the ballot.
00:39:00.100
It's a pretty easy decision for the Supreme Court.
00:39:04.680
There are five arguments, and at least three of them are, you don't even have to be awake
00:39:15.480
What happens when the people who say, you know, we were at the brink of a dictatorship,
00:39:20.700
if he returns to power, it's going to become persecution.
00:39:33.640
If you think that, really, and you think that the ends justify the means, and you're saving
00:39:44.580
demise, you cannot, they're not going to sit by if he wins.
00:39:49.700
Every one of these outcomes seems to have a generous chunk of possibility that the entire
00:39:59.440
Like, you know, if Donald Trump wins the primary and goes on and then gets put in prison, right,
00:40:07.140
and maybe loses the election, like, can you imagine how people are going to react to that?
00:40:11.100
If the opposite happens and he goes in prison and then wins the election, can you imagine
00:40:16.500
Can you imagine if there's a close election that Donald Trump loses?
00:40:21.220
Can you just straight out, let's just say it's normal and he just loses.
00:40:24.120
Can you imagine how the people on the right are going to react to that, especially after
00:40:29.860
Now think of what happened with all this and you've got a potential dictator coming into
00:40:35.420
Imagine if Donald Trump just wins a boring, close election.
00:40:39.260
Can you imagine how they're going to react to that?
00:40:41.920
Like, the chaos and the street possibilities are down every single turn.
00:40:47.960
I mean, look, maybe the best argument to avoid it in theory would be someone who,
00:40:54.120
maybe it's Joe Biden isn't the candidate and Donald Trump isn't the candidate in some
00:41:00.060
and like they, I don't know, but I honestly don't even see, there's passionate supporters
00:41:05.140
on both sides of that that wouldn't put up with it.
00:41:09.540
And there's, and also the left would just make the next Republican into somebody that's
00:41:17.940
Yeah, they would say Ron DeSantis is worse, he's going to be, Nikki Haley is worse, she's
00:41:25.780
And look, they've been trying that stuff for a long time, but it does seem we're at the
00:41:30.320
So you, so you said, well, you know, it's pretty hard to say that.
00:41:33.420
I said, we make it to the election or pass the election.
00:41:39.800
And I don't know, you know, we've seen things break down in ways that we'd ever thought
00:41:46.040
And we've seen it routinely, particularly over the past few years.
00:41:48.900
And all of the unintended consequences that nobody, you know, it just doesn't work out
