The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 2⧸11⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:00:02.040 This podcast brought to you by The Hunt.

00:00:05.700 It's a new movie that was supposed to be released, I don't know, last year at some point.

00:00:11.760 It came out and all the conservatives jumped on it and said,

00:00:15.020 this is so disgusting, they're hunting conservatives.

00:00:18.580 You need to watch the movie because, yes, that's the way it starts. 0.68

00:00:23.420 But that's not what that movie turns out to be.

00:00:26.640 And it's a, you know, slasher movies are not my, you know, gore fests are not my usual fare of movies.

00:00:37.240 But I've seen the whole thing.

00:00:39.180 I watched the whole thing.

00:00:40.800 I actually wanted to see the whole thing.

00:00:44.020 And it's a very satisfying ending.

00:00:47.040 Very satisfying ending.

00:00:48.520 Yeah, and this is not actually brought to you by The Hunt.

00:00:50.580 It just happened to come out in the middle of the show.

00:00:52.780 That news is coming out March 13th, Friday the 13th.

00:00:55.980 And I know the people who made it.

00:00:57.680 And they called me.

00:00:58.660 They don't agree with me politically at all.

00:01:01.000 But they were so confused.

00:01:02.080 They were like, Glenn, what is happening?

00:01:04.040 We thought this would actually be good.

00:01:06.680 I mean, it is the type of thing that we always complain never happens from Hollywood.

00:01:10.540 We're like a Republican.

00:01:11.380 You're actually rooting for one.

00:01:12.520 Yeah, like it happens.

00:01:13.440 That's definitely what you're rooting for.

00:01:15.420 I mean, at the end, you're like, I love the ending here.

00:01:20.200 I love the ending.

00:01:21.880 So anyway.

00:01:23.020 That happened on today's broadcast.

00:01:24.920 We talked a lot about New Hampshire.

00:01:26.720 Yeah, the latest Quinnipiac poll looks really, really not good for Joe Biden.

00:01:32.980 Really good for Bernie Sanders.

00:01:35.800 And Bloomberg.

00:01:37.020 And Bloomberg.

00:01:38.280 Joe Biden has lost 50% of his African-American vote.

00:01:41.820 We talked to a lot of people in New Hampshire.

00:01:43.960 We talked a little bit about socialism today and how that works.

00:01:47.940 And the new Gallup poll that is so great for President Trump, if the economy stays stable.

00:01:55.260 It's some of the highest numbers in different categories.

00:01:58.520 One of them is the highest economic numbers Gallup has ever seen since they've been taking this poll.

00:02:04.800 One of the numbers is higher than it's been since 1966.

00:02:09.740 And your job security number is the highest it's been since 1948.

00:02:17.940 It's pretty remarkable.

00:02:19.600 And I would also remind you, as a discerning podcast listener, that if you could just take a moment,

00:02:48.740 So at some point, clearly, we're going to pass.

00:02:51.120 Rock it up the top and then fall off. 0.99

00:02:55.340 And here's the podcast.

00:03:02.300 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:06.340 Joe Biden, in one minute.

00:03:13.720 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:16.500 Well, a new Quinnipiac poll shows Bernie Sanders jumping out into his biggest lead in any national poll of the Democratic Party.

00:03:26.700 Bernie Sanders is now leading in this new poll at 25 percent.

00:03:33.360 Biden is at 17.

00:03:35.960 Bloomberg is at 15.

00:03:38.280 Warren tied with Bloomberg at 15.

00:03:41.160 Buttigieg is down at 10, according to this new Quinnipiac poll.

00:03:46.540 And Klobuchar is at four.

00:03:49.380 Now, just before the Iowa caucuses, the top line numbers in Quinnipiac's late January national poll.

00:03:56.900 Biden, 26.

00:03:58.140 I remind you, he's now at 17.

00:04:00.140 Sanders at 21.

00:04:01.380 He's now at 25.

00:04:03.360 Warren at 15.

00:04:04.660 She's flat.

00:04:05.600 Bloomberg at 8.

00:04:06.700 He's now at 15.

00:04:08.720 Klobuchar at 7.

00:04:09.740 This new poll shows Klobuchar down at 4.

00:04:13.060 But she had a great night on Friday night, and she seems to be surging.

00:04:19.660 Buttigieg up from 6 to 10 in the latest poll.

00:04:25.160 There's also something that is not really good.

00:04:28.960 Biden has been counting on South Carolina as his firewall, where two-thirds of the Democratic Party voters are black.

00:04:37.120 But the new national Quinnipiac poll shows support for Biden among African-Americans significantly dropping.

00:04:45.600 Biden was at 52.

00:04:49.760 He is now at 27.

00:04:54.520 His support among African-Americans has nearly halved.

00:05:00.340 Sanders was at 15.

00:05:06.220 He's now at 19.

00:05:08.120 Bloomberg was at 8.

00:05:09.740 He's now at 22.

00:05:11.660 That's in second place for Bloomberg.

00:05:13.980 Yeah.

00:05:14.180 A couple interesting things about this.

00:05:15.640 First of all, obviously, the Biden thing leads the conversation as that he's basically fallen apart.

00:05:21.860 Though, I still think his best point here is to say, look, I'm still in second place nationally.

00:05:29.040 He still is in second place.

00:05:30.800 If you want to make a pro-Biden argument, he has fallen apart in some of these early states.

00:05:37.200 But he's still hanging around the top.

00:05:38.960 To me, I just don't see how he turns this around.

00:05:42.740 He's not a good enough candidate.

00:05:44.200 It would be one thing if he was a really good candidate that is having some bad polls.

00:05:47.300 He's actually a terrible candidate that has been leading despite himself.

00:05:52.200 You know, look, this has been Joe Biden's to lose for a long time, but he's very good at losing.

00:05:56.320 May I give you an example from, I know I'm going on a limb here, but trust me for a minute.

00:06:02.460 And I pray that I get this right.

00:06:06.200 May I give you a sports story that explains this?

00:06:09.620 Oh, no.

00:06:10.000 Okay.

00:06:10.760 All right.

00:06:11.300 This is not a good idea, but go ahead.

00:06:13.420 Okay.

00:06:14.920 I'm sorry.

00:06:15.640 This is like your, you know, 12-year-old arts daughter that has not ever watched a sporting event ever trying to make this case.

00:06:28.220 So just give me the benefit of the doubt here and just treat me like your 12-year-old daughter who hates sports.

00:06:34.680 One player noticeably absent during the XFL's kickoff weekend Saturday and Sunday was controversial former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

00:06:42.360 Given Kaepernick's fallout with the NFL, one might expect he would jump at the opportunities to showcase his talent on a different stage in order to lure offers.

00:06:51.380 But that's not the case for Kaepernick.

00:06:53.080 Is Kaepernick being blackballed by the XFL?

00:06:58.580 No.

00:07:00.020 Actually, according to recent XFL comments from the commissioner, Oliver Luck, the reverse may be closer to the truth.

00:07:07.620 Speaking with NPR on Saturday, Luck shed light on the situation, confirming that the league had spoken to Colin Kaepernick about joining the league last year,

00:07:16.120 but the former quarterback's salary demands were so exorbitant for any agreement to be made.

00:07:23.820 Shocking.

00:07:24.400 He was asking for $20 million when the average salary, sorry, when the highest paid salary in the XFL is $500,000.

00:07:38.220 What happened to income inequality?

00:07:40.160 Yeah, I don't understand.

00:07:40.880 I know, I know.

00:07:41.520 So here's the thing.

00:07:43.820 The reason why I bring this up, I read that and I thought, he wants to play football as much as Joe Biden wants to be president.

00:07:51.220 It's so true. 0.84

00:07:52.600 It's so true. 0.84

00:07:53.400 He doesn't want to play football.

00:07:55.200 Yeah, no, he doesn't.

00:07:56.080 He just wants to continue to be a victim.

00:08:00.000 And so now, is he blackballed by the XFL?

00:08:03.800 No.

00:08:04.700 He made it impossible for them to do it.

00:08:07.440 And I think Joe Biden is in the same situation.

00:08:11.520 He doesn't have the drive.

00:08:13.200 He doesn't have the fire for it.

00:08:15.360 I think he's done his time.

00:08:17.840 I don't know why he's doing it right now, but I just don't feel.

00:08:23.320 You know how Hillary Clinton, she felt like she just, what?

00:08:27.860 I'm the queen.

00:08:28.580 You're going to coordinate me.

00:08:29.680 You're going to give me the crown because I've paid my dues and it's my turn.

00:08:37.780 And you could feel that from her.

00:08:41.180 With Biden, I just feel from him, I really don't want this job.

00:08:47.340 I really don't.

00:08:48.140 I mean, I'm doing it because, you know, maybe everybody is telling me I'm the only hope against, but I just don't want this job.

00:08:56.540 You know, it may be that.

00:08:58.940 It may be that he wants the job, but he doesn't want to do the work to get it.

00:09:02.660 You know what I mean?

00:09:03.140 I think he kind of feels like, you know.

00:09:06.800 Well, he's old enough to remember the times when it was just a coronation.

00:09:12.740 Yeah.

00:09:13.060 You know, you would know, okay, that person came in second this time, so they're probably going to be the nominee the next time.

00:09:20.140 And I think he's legitimately frustrated that someone like Mayor Pete can beat, former Mayor Pete can beat him, right?

00:09:26.740 Like, that is, I think, legitimately frustrating to him.

00:09:29.740 He should be able to honestly be coordinated over former Mayor Pete.

00:09:33.920 The guy was, you know, there's no reason for him to be competitive in this race, though he's clearly outperforming Biden at every step.

00:09:41.120 I mean, when it comes to fundraising, when it comes to debates, when it comes to these interactions, when they're going back and forth.

00:09:46.700 I mean, Biden came up with a great ad that we played yesterday, which kind of belittled Mayor Pete's experience level.

00:09:55.960 But I don't think it's going to work because it feels desperate.

00:10:01.380 You know, he's only turning this stuff on once he's losing.

00:10:05.360 Now, you know, Donald Trump came out and bashed all of his opponents right at the beginning.

00:10:08.760 It was his way of doing things, and it felt fine.

00:10:12.280 With Biden, he hasn't done any of this, and all of a sudden he loses one primary and he completely changes tactics.

00:10:18.300 I don't think it feels authentic.

00:10:19.640 I still think it's a good ad, but I don't think it's going to work.

00:10:22.640 It's a great ad.

00:10:23.140 I think, if anything, it might actually be like—

00:10:26.320 Can we play that ad in case you didn't hear it?

00:10:28.460 This is one of the best ads either of us have ever heard in politics.

00:10:32.920 It's definitely one of the best ads I've heard since Reagan was around.

00:10:38.460 Watch.

00:10:39.220 Barack Obama called Joe Biden—

00:10:41.220 Best vice president America's ever had.

00:10:43.020 But Pete Buttigieg doesn't think much of the vice president's record.

00:10:46.600 Let's compare.

00:10:47.800 When President Obama called on him, Joe Biden helped lead the passage of the Affordable Care Act,

00:10:52.900 which gave health care to 20 million people.

00:10:55.480 And when parkgoers called on Pete Buttigieg, he installed decorative lights under bridges,

00:11:00.180 giving citizens of South Bend colorfully illuminated rivers.

00:11:03.800 Both vice president Biden and former mayor Buttigieg have taken on tough fights.

00:11:08.500 Under threat of a nuclear Iran, Joe Biden helped to negotiate the Iran deal.

00:11:13.260 And under threat of disappearing pets, Buttigieg negotiated lighter licensing regulations on pet chip scanners.

00:11:20.000 Both vice president Biden and former mayor Pete have helped shape our economy.

00:11:24.700 Joe Biden helped save the auto industry, which revitalized the economy of the Midwest,

00:11:30.240 and led the passage and implementation of the Recovery Act, saving our economy from a depression.

00:11:35.820 Pete Buttigieg revitalized the sidewalks of downtown South Bend by laying out decorative bricks.

00:11:41.440 Okay, stop.

00:11:42.280 Stop.

00:11:42.960 This goes on, and it is a great ad.

00:11:45.520 And if it's Pete Buttigieg, that's the ad that I think Donald Trump is going to be running.

00:11:49.240 Right, and it will work for Trump.

00:11:50.560 It's not going to work for Biden because it seems inauthentic.

00:11:53.540 He hasn't been doing this at all, and then he loses a primary to this guy, and all of a sudden he's on the attack.

00:11:59.220 But they should have picked this tactic up a long time ago.

00:12:01.960 But it's not just that, honestly.

00:12:03.840 I don't think it's just that he is, you know, he doesn't want to work for it.

00:12:11.540 I think he also is really cranky.

00:12:16.260 Yes.

00:12:16.580 You know, he's put up with all of the dirt from the Democratic Party, and he has had to carry the dirt for everybody.

00:12:25.720 And now he's, I feel like he's saying, well, where is anybody carrying the dirt for me?

00:12:31.780 And I'll give you an example of that in one minute.

00:12:33.900 Okay, let me give you Joe Biden on CBS.

00:12:51.780 He is speaking to Gayle King in New Hampshire.

00:12:55.520 As he tries to move past his surprising fourth-place performance in Iowa, when he was asked, is this a time to regroup and reassess?

00:13:07.600 Listen.

00:13:08.380 Mr. Vice President, the president's also been going after your son.

00:13:12.040 And Lindsey Graham told CBS News the Justice Department is vetting information from Rudy Giuliani about your son's work in Ukraine.

00:13:19.740 Are you concerned a federal investigation may be launched?

00:13:23.040 From Rudy Giuliani.

00:13:24.260 Are you concerned a federal investigation may be launched?

00:13:26.860 From Rudy Giuliani.

00:13:27.900 Are you concerned a federal investigation?

00:13:30.360 Look, I expect Trump to do the same exact thing he's been doing.

00:13:35.500 Why has he been attacking me from the beginning?

00:13:37.440 Why did he risk, and he should have been impeached, why did he risk getting convicted by going to a foreign leader to say,

00:13:43.800 you don't have to give me anything on Biden, there's nothing to get, just tell me that you're going to investigate him so I can hurt him.

00:13:49.180 Have you ever seen a sitting president as concerned about a single nominee and trying to stop a nominee?

00:13:55.420 Do you think your son is fair game, Mr. Vice President?

00:13:58.780 Do you think your son is fair game here?

00:14:02.400 His son or my son?

00:14:03.700 Your son, Hunter.

00:14:04.980 I don't think our sons are fair game at all.

00:14:07.620 No one has said he's done anything wrong except the thug Rudy Giuliani.

00:14:11.760 Come on.

00:14:12.620 Rudy Giuliani?

00:14:14.300 A character witness?

00:14:15.680 Mr. Vice President, speaking...

00:14:18.180 I mean, listen to that.

00:14:20.380 So fake.

00:14:21.120 Listen to that.

00:14:21.740 So fake.

00:14:22.900 He's on the ropes.

00:14:24.720 They're actually asking him, beginning to ask tough questions, because this stuff is coming out.

00:14:31.180 It is coming out.

00:14:32.360 Tomorrow on my Wednesday night special, it airs at 9 p.m. on Blaze TV.

00:14:39.480 What we've done is I've decided because of the success of these specials, what I do best is put pieces of the puzzle together and tell you what's really going on.

00:14:52.720 And so what we've decided to do is I'm still on the news and why it matters every day at 5 o'clock.

00:15:00.500 That airs now replacing my half hour daily TV show.

00:15:05.040 I'm on that.

00:15:06.080 So we talk about the news of the day.

00:15:07.660 And then on Wednesday, I give you an hour special like the special we just did.

00:15:14.860 Tonight is China.

00:15:17.200 Now, this is a three-part series.

00:15:19.600 It's going to be broken up over several weeks.

00:15:21.740 But tonight is Joe Biden in—I'm sorry, tomorrow at 9 p.m.

00:15:27.600 It's Joe Biden and China and what's really going on with Joe Biden.

00:15:34.140 And we've done another series on China with Joe Biden.

00:15:38.600 But you're going to learn an awful lot of new stuff tonight.

00:15:42.300 And it is—I'm telling you, Grassley is coming after the Bidens.

00:15:47.140 And it is—it's right to do so.

00:15:51.740 It has nothing to do with politics.

00:15:54.820 I mean, if I was going to—if this was about politics, why would I waste my time telling you about Joe Biden?

00:16:01.260 I think Joe Biden is going to drop out soon.

00:16:03.960 I think his support—when his support from African Americans who are very loyal,

00:16:10.320 when his support drops in half, which it just did, he's over as a candidate.

00:16:17.860 That's what he had going for him.

00:16:19.640 He's over as a candidate.

00:16:21.740 What he's not over with is the corruption that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were involved in.

00:16:30.920 And it is really critical as a nation that we set this right.

00:16:37.380 Otherwise, this is going to be happening over and over and over again. 0.56

00:16:42.080 He is the most corrupt vice president in all of American history.

00:16:47.760 That is significant.

00:16:50.060 And we must set the record straight and clean this up.

00:16:55.500 Otherwise, the next guy thinks he's going to be able to get away with it.

00:16:59.220 I wouldn't want Donald Trump and his son doing this.

00:17:02.200 I don't want Joe Biden and his son doing this.

00:17:04.600 I don't want, you know, Pete Buttigieg or anybody else doing what Joe Biden has done with his family and to our country at your expense.

00:17:14.060 And you'll see that tomorrow night at 9 p.m.

00:17:17.180 You'll see that everywhere on all of our platforms and on Blaze TV.

00:17:21.620 And I want to thank the subscribers for really helping us do this.

00:17:26.680 It's your subscription that pays for all of the research that we have we have done.

00:17:32.740 There's also some different news coming out now.

00:17:38.140 And this is really good news for the president as long as it remains this way.

00:17:44.260 However, the coronavirus is I cannot figure it out.

00:17:49.900 I've I've been writing to my friends who are experts in these things.

00:17:55.600 And I just it's something I don't know where to go with it, because my my instinct, believe it or not, on this one is that it's OK.

00:18:10.460 My mind in reading things says there's something wrong.

00:18:15.860 So I don't have a gut on this one, which is really weird for me.

00:18:20.100 And so I don't know what I can't I can't roll the dice on this one because I don't I feel like I have no direction on this.

00:18:30.200 And it's weird because this is something that I have looked for for a very, very long time and looked at.

00:18:39.860 But something's wrong.

00:18:41.960 But I can't give you advice other than be prepared.

00:18:45.040 Now, with that being said, if the coronavirus doesn't screw things up or you don't have deep state trying to screw the economy up.

00:18:58.400 This is great news for President Trump.

00:19:01.600 Americans say this is that they feel like this is the best economy since the late 1990s.

00:19:09.440 Fifty nine percent of Americans say they are better off financially today than they were a year ago.

00:19:15.580 That's the highest since 1999, according to a Gallup survey.

00:19:20.800 Their annual mood of the nation says this is the most optimistic reading that their survey has ever recorded.

00:19:33.200 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:39.440 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:19:42.700 And you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:44.700 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:19:49.120 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:19:52.920 I'd love to hear your thoughts.

00:19:55.000 If you are in New Hampshire, let's go right to Mike in New Hampshire.

00:19:59.580 Welcome to the program.

00:20:01.240 Well, thank you for welcoming me, Mr. Beck.

00:20:04.000 I'd like to thank you and all of your staff for really the best investigative journalism with the best sense of humor that there is out there.

00:20:14.660 Thank you.

00:20:15.680 Truly, truly humor.

00:20:18.800 Humor reaches people and it puts them at ease so they can listen to the truth.

00:20:23.720 And the truth can can be very tough.

00:20:26.480 The old saying is the truth will set you free as soon as it's finished with you.

00:20:31.260 Yeah, I like the truth will set you free, but it'll make you miserable first.

00:20:37.280 Well, that's why the humor is good.

00:20:40.800 I'll get right to it because I'm sure you have lots of other people.

00:20:44.120 But I wanted to give that thanks out there.

00:20:46.160 Thank you.

00:20:46.600 I'm a Ted Cruz supporter, voted for Donald Trump, and I'm voting for Bernie Sanders.

00:20:52.240 And I think Klobuchar will surprise people in New Hampshire today.

00:20:55.880 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:20:58.180 You voted, you were Ted Cruz, you voted for Donald Trump, and now you're going to vote for Bernie Sanders?

00:21:04.960 In the primary, that's correct.

00:21:06.980 And I'll tell you, I've listened to you every day.

00:21:09.760 Okay.

00:21:09.920 This is why, it's because I know Bernie's the most dangerous person, but for the republic, I think the lurch to the left by the Democrats has to be confronted, and Bernie is going to present that.

00:21:26.720 So the challenge and the choice can be made.

00:21:28.960 I know there's a lot to risk, but freedom favors the brave, and I think we have to confront what's going on.

00:21:36.760 Well, I will tell you this, Mike, I would never urge this, but I understand your thinking, because Bernie is going to have a real conversation about real socialism.

00:21:49.860 And I've wanted a Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee kind of debate for a very long time.

00:21:56.900 In fact, we invited Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders to do a series of debates about a year and a half ago.

00:22:03.200 Mike agreed Bernie would not.

00:22:04.940 I'd love to have that debate, because America does need to decide.

00:22:09.680 Which do you want?

00:22:10.640 Because they don't work together.

00:22:13.760 And so I welcome that debate and that discussion, but I have to tell you, that is one scary proposition.

00:22:20.680 Well, even scarier is to slide that way without everybody being asleep and turn up to Romney time, you know, where he goes that way, but you never see it happen.

00:22:31.880 Yeah.

00:22:32.120 The cold shock of water is what politics pays attention to, so we need that cold shock.

00:22:37.840 Oh, by the way, I need a different pen, too. 0.99

00:22:40.600 I need my Romney sucks pen, too. 0.86

00:22:43.800 Oh, I am so tempted to get one for you and have them made. 0.96

00:22:53.780 And what it should actually be, it should be advertised as a red pen, but it writes in blue.

00:22:58.960 Thanks a lot, Mike.

00:23:02.280 I appreciate it.

00:23:03.620 Let me go to Bob in New Hampshire as well.

00:23:06.620 Hello, Bob.

00:23:09.040 Good morning, Glenn and everybody.

00:23:11.380 I just want to let you know, kind of to follow up on that last caller, New Hampshire, in case you don't know throughout the country or the world where you're broadcast, we have a beautiful independent lane.

00:23:23.420 He obviously was a Republican, so was I, am I.

00:23:27.320 This morning, I voted for Pete Buttigieg and then re-declared my independence so that I can vote for Trump in the fall.

00:23:36.180 What?

00:23:36.920 When you see these numbers come today, I just kind of take you with a bit of a grain.

00:23:42.980 Because as a Republican, you can vote wherever you want, basically.

00:23:46.720 It's pretty much open.

00:23:48.100 You can vote as a Democrat.

00:23:49.400 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:23:51.100 That's not the way that it operates.

00:23:52.400 What it is is that you have to be declared independent when you show up at the voting location.

00:23:58.280 You have to declare Democrat or Republican.

00:24:01.200 So what I went in this morning, I declared Democrat.

00:24:03.360 They gave me a Democratic form to fill out.

00:24:07.300 It's functionally open, though.

00:24:09.200 You declare it's independent.

00:24:10.280 Right.

00:24:10.460 You don't have to actually be a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary, was my point, which is a quirk that is not everywhere.

00:24:17.900 I mean, it's a good thing.

00:24:19.460 You should be able to go do that, honestly.

00:24:21.200 You should be able to vote whatever primary you want.

00:24:23.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:24:24.080 Is that trouble?

00:24:25.280 Yeah, but here's even a better thing for you is that my wife and I were at our brother and sister-in-laws the other night who are extreme leftist, Boston Globe-style leftists.

00:24:35.400 They're confused.

00:24:36.380 They have no clue who they were voting for today.

00:24:38.920 And then to follow it up, my wife who works for the evil empire, Walmart, was leaving work yesterday and ran to a good friend of ours who was a 40-year local union iron worker out of Boston.

00:24:49.040 Same story.

00:24:50.280 Him and his wife have no bleeping clue, and it's election day.

00:24:54.480 Hang on just a second.

00:24:55.920 Somebody who's an avowed leftist should know exactly who they're voting for, Bernie Sanders.

00:25:01.260 Why is that not the obvious choice for them?

00:25:03.440 The comment to me is that all of them have a little bit of what they would like, but none of them have everything.

00:25:11.740 None of them have it all.

00:25:14.140 Wow.

00:25:14.800 There you go.

00:25:15.440 Bob, thank you very much.

00:25:17.580 Thank you.

00:25:18.240 Let me go to Gail.

00:25:19.460 Hello, Gail, New Hampshire.

00:25:21.180 Hello, Glenn.

00:25:21.860 Good morning.

00:25:22.760 Good morning.

00:25:23.340 How are you?

00:25:24.380 I'm good.

00:25:25.140 How are you?

00:25:25.720 Good.

00:25:25.840 Are you going to vote for somebody else, too?

00:25:30.800 I think, well, first of all, I'm a registered independent, and as the previous callers have said, we can choose our ballot when we go in to the polling place.

00:25:40.860 I am actually, I lean more towards libertarian rather than Republican, but I think I've been tempted to vote for Bernie just for the joke factor because I think he's just so much fun.

00:25:52.640 Oh, God, heavens.

00:25:55.840 This is, like, shocking to me.

00:25:58.040 I didn't, I had no idea that so many people, I mean, three, the first three phone calls, I had no idea.

00:26:07.620 Well, we're your listeners, Glenn.

00:26:09.320 You're not going to get a lot of Democrats.

00:26:10.800 I know.

00:26:11.400 No, I know that.

00:26:12.880 I just didn't know that so many Republicans or so many independents would go in and go, yeah, I'm just voting for the jokes.

00:26:20.160 The lows.

00:26:20.860 I'm not going to.

00:26:21.720 I decided that would be a wasted vote, which actually they're probably all wasted votes.

00:26:26.100 But I think I'm probably going to vote for Klobuchar because she's the only one who raised her hand at the last debate when the question was asked whether socialism was dangerous for the United States.

00:26:36.560 Yeah, I mean, and to back this point up, we had Mike Lee in here a while ago, and we have this big board behind Glenn that has all the candidates broken into categories as to how they can, you know, who has the best chance to win.

00:26:48.220 And we said, you know, Mike, you work with a lot of these people.

00:26:50.840 This is when Harris is in the race.

00:26:52.500 Everybody.

00:26:52.980 Everybody's in the race.

00:26:53.760 Of all the candidates, who do you think is closest to understanding the Constitution?

00:26:59.880 And he looked up there for a while and he said, Klobuchar, question mark?

00:27:04.440 It wasn't like a strong vibe.

00:27:06.120 It wasn't like, oh, you know who has Constitution underpants as Amy Klobuchar. 0.95

00:27:11.600 It wasn't that.

00:27:12.540 But among that field, you know, you say maybe she was the least risky to the Republic, I would say, is the way he seemed to look at that.

00:27:23.660 And I'm tempted.

00:27:24.880 Like, I go back and forth on this because I think someone like Klobuchar, who is a little bit, she actually is a little bit, certainly more moderate than a Sanders,

00:27:33.440 and maybe does understand at least some of the basis of this country, would be a better fallback than a Bernie Sanders presidency.

00:27:43.120 If there was an election between Klobuchar and Sanders, I would vote Klobuchar.

00:27:47.160 However, she very well might be tougher to beat than a Sanders. 1.00

00:27:51.840 Part of me thinks maybe Sanders is in the race, you know, like, I go back and forth on this.

00:27:56.780 Because if he is the nominee, and it looks like, unless it's like 70 to 30, you know what I mean, Donald Trump,

00:28:08.240 the closer we get, if it, no, it won't be, if it looks at all close, the stock market will bake in a possible Bernie,

00:28:18.240 and it will spiral the economy early.

00:28:21.660 And then that will help Sanders.

00:28:23.340 It will help Sanders.

00:28:24.220 Because Trump is still president at this point.

00:28:25.800 See, this economy, there is capitalism.

00:28:28.340 I mean, Bernie Sanders.

00:28:29.580 That point wins me over.

00:28:30.320 I think I don't, like, I don't want Sanders to win this nomination.

00:28:34.360 Because when it gets down to two people, anything can happen.

00:28:37.700 Right.

00:28:38.140 I want the debate, too.

00:28:39.220 But Sanders is legitimately dangerous to the future of the country in a way that is unique,

00:28:45.420 even compared to Elizabeth Warren in this field.

00:28:48.280 Yes.

00:28:48.440 You know, there's nobody in this field that is uniquely dangerous to the foundation of the republic than Bernie Sanders.

00:28:55.500 He's an ideologue for 50, 60, 70,000 years, apparently.

00:28:59.820 I don't know how old he is, but very long.

00:29:01.480 Yeah.

00:29:01.840 And he believes this stuff, and he's believed it for a long time.

00:29:04.680 And he will go in there.

00:29:06.060 He'll overturn the filibuster.

00:29:10.160 He will do everything he can.

00:29:12.200 He's already, you know what, I have to look for that story.

00:29:14.440 I have it here someplace on my desk.

00:29:16.060 A story that came out last week on the things that he has already, his team has already started to outline the executive orders that he is going to issue when he gets in.

00:29:30.240 Because he knows he won't be able to get them through Congress, and he's just going to.

00:29:33.680 So he's working on executive action right now.

00:29:37.140 And they are terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

00:29:40.860 It takes this country and our Constitution apart.

00:29:44.680 But it's going to be really interesting.

00:29:47.420 If he wins, and he wins the next three elections, he's going to have real momentum, real momentum.

00:29:58.100 And with the Democrats trying to back up and go, okay, well, wait a minute.

00:30:03.420 And you Democrats who have been playing footsie with the left and saying, oh, well, they're not dangerous, they're not this, they're not that, they're not really socialist.

00:30:13.640 You're going to find out who they really are, and it should terrify you.

00:30:19.080 It should absolutely terrify you.

00:30:21.600 And then where do you go?

00:30:23.340 Do you go just, do you go and stay home because you can't vote for Donald Trump?

00:30:28.680 Or do you actually fight it because your party is about to be lost?

00:30:34.320 And when Bloomberg comes in and the Democrats try to do some funny business to be able to get Bernie out again, the left is not going to take it.

00:30:45.700 Remember, Bernie has said the target isn't just Donald Trump.

00:30:49.800 The target is the Democratic Party itself along with Donald Trump.

00:30:55.580 You're in for an interesting summer.

00:30:58.680 If Bernie Sanders sweeps tonight in South Carolina and Nevada.

00:31:04.020 He's leading Nevada before, oh, yeah, before Iowa.

00:31:08.040 If he wins this, he's going to win Nevada, and then he's got a path.

00:31:11.420 Let's go to Matt in New Hampshire.

00:31:13.020 Hello, Matt.

00:31:14.900 I guess we're going to Sean in New Hampshire.

00:31:16.960 Sean, go ahead.

00:31:18.820 Hi, Glenn.

00:31:19.600 How are you?

00:31:20.180 Good.

00:31:21.220 What's happening?

00:31:23.400 Not much.

00:31:24.320 So I have a prediction.

00:31:25.920 All right.

00:31:26.240 After tonight, Elizabeth Warren will be out of this race because she will come in fourth or fifth. 0.99

00:31:34.160 And Bernie is going to win, unfortunately.

00:31:39.100 And I think Joe Biden might be out of this race because I think he's going to come in fifth.

00:31:42.940 So Pete is going to be, where do you think?

00:31:48.280 Where do you think Pete's going to be?

00:31:49.680 And so who's in second or third?

00:31:53.460 I think Pete will be in second and Amy will be in third. 0.99

00:31:56.860 Well, that'll be big for Amy. 0.99

00:31:58.960 Yep.

00:31:59.320 That'd be big.

00:31:59.940 Because Biden, his rallies are attracting maybe a hundred people.

00:32:06.400 Jeez.

00:32:07.900 How did it feel yesterday with Trump coming to town?

00:32:13.060 What did you feel from your neighbors and people who don't think like you?

00:32:19.420 They say anything?

00:32:20.360 No, I have to be honest.

00:32:22.760 I don't hang out with too many socialists.

00:32:25.640 So I don't really know how they felt.

00:32:29.640 Right.

00:32:30.000 Okay.

00:32:30.440 But I will say this.

00:32:32.300 The Trump rally, when I went in the summer when he came here, there was about a thousand protesters outside of his event.

00:32:42.000 They couldn't even get any protesters to show up to his event last night.

00:32:47.060 Is that because they're fair weather protesters?

00:32:49.400 They're summer soldiers?

00:32:51.720 No, no.

00:32:52.240 These were, when I went in the summer, they were true radicals.

00:32:55.680 Like the Antifa.

00:32:58.460 Wow.

00:32:59.960 True radicals who want the revolution.

00:33:03.600 So were they out busy canvassing for Bernie, do you think?

00:33:07.560 Or just to have moved on from Trump?

00:33:10.720 No, I think that they're defeated.

00:33:13.740 Huh?

00:33:14.040 I think that they look at this field and that they don't have a chance.

00:33:19.180 And there's no energy on the left.

00:33:22.080 There's no groundswell of real chatter or support for anybody on the left.

00:33:30.320 Yeah.

00:33:30.780 I lived in Vermont.

00:33:32.960 I've lived in New Hampshire.

00:33:33.980 I've lived in Florida.

00:33:34.900 I've lived all around.

00:33:37.160 And with living in Vermont, you meet a lot of radicals.

00:33:40.460 Yeah.

00:33:40.940 And I know Bernie Sanders, he comes from a dirt shack with no floor, who used to write

00:33:48.400 articles for dirty magazines for the first 40 years of his life.

00:33:52.960 But he has gone into public service where he's become a millionaire, which is always

00:33:56.660 so great and perplexing at the same time.

00:33:58.920 Sean, thank you.

00:33:59.540 Let me go to Matt in New Hampshire.

00:34:01.280 Hello, Matt.

00:34:03.260 Hey, Glenn.

00:34:04.000 It's nice to be on here.

00:34:06.140 Thank you.

00:34:06.440 I was at the Trump rally last night.

00:34:08.220 Yeah.

00:34:08.700 And it was intense.

00:34:12.160 So I'm going to tell you right now that Don Jr. is going to be a guy to look out in the

00:34:17.360 future.

00:34:17.800 I mean, the people went nuts when they saw him.

00:34:20.340 He's actually like, he's funny.

00:34:23.180 It's interesting.

00:34:24.180 He's really like, he's kind of what I think Donald Trump would be if he was not the president,

00:34:30.900 but was like a media personality today.

00:34:33.480 Because he's very like, he very much has that troll of the Trump family thing going on.

00:34:38.600 And he's funny.

00:34:39.700 He's actually, you know, he's pretty good at it.

00:34:42.780 It's interesting to see him.

00:34:44.060 He doesn't seem to me to be a politician necessarily.

00:34:46.880 He seems to be more of like almost like a media personality.

00:34:49.220 Yeah, I know that I have a lot of friends that went to the Bernie Sanders rally last

00:34:56.620 night in Durham, New Hampshire, which is at UNH.

00:34:59.760 It's at the college there, which there's 1,500 kids that go there.

00:35:03.060 I mean, 15,000 kids that go there.

00:35:04.680 And it fits 7,000, I believe.

00:35:07.500 So, I mean, it shouldn't be hard to pack the Strokes.

00:35:10.320 I know played with them, which is a pretty relevant band today.

00:35:13.240 And all my friends, some of my friends went that aren't even, they're conservative.

00:35:16.660 And they just wanted to go see the Strokes, to be honest with you.

00:35:20.140 And how many people went to that?

00:35:23.080 I saw pictures and it looks full.

00:35:26.380 I'm going to be honest.

00:35:27.200 All right, that's good.

00:35:28.440 And how many people went to the Trump rally last night?

00:35:31.580 It was full.

00:35:32.540 So the capacity there is 11, I think 11,050, maybe something like that.

00:35:39.120 It's pretty up there.

00:35:40.380 And then there was about 500 people outside that were still waiting to get in.

00:35:43.260 And it was cold and rainy.

00:35:44.440 My dad and I went early to make sure we could get in.

00:35:47.040 And it was terrible.

00:35:48.700 I mean, in the morning it was just rainy and gross and snowy and wet and cold.

00:35:53.180 And, yeah, it was – people don't care.

00:35:55.860 So, prediction on how this is going to end tonight?

00:35:59.340 Bernie will get it.

00:36:01.220 I don't think New Hampshire is as much of a cluster as you have in Iowa.

00:36:06.100 No.

00:36:06.620 That's impossible.

00:36:07.820 No.

00:36:08.040 Now, Florida is not even that.

00:36:10.840 No.

00:36:11.360 And I think what will happen is that Buttigieg is going to be the runner-up.

00:36:17.180 I think Elizabeth Warren is nothing.

00:36:18.980 I don't think she's worth anything here.

00:36:21.400 After that, I don't know, maybe Joe Biden.

00:36:23.120 We have a lot of older people that are still Democrats, even though they're not,

00:36:26.840 and they believe that Joe Biden is not a socialist.

00:36:30.120 I guess.

00:36:30.360 I don't know.

00:36:30.860 Third keeps Biden alive.

00:36:32.480 Third is enough for him to continue, I think.

00:36:35.560 Fourth or – definitely fifth, I think he's out.

00:36:38.040 I think he's out.

00:36:38.760 Which would be a remarkable turn of events.

00:36:40.920 I mean, the guy was the frontrunner a week ago.

00:36:43.580 Yeah.

00:36:44.260 Or a little over a week ago.

00:36:45.480 Well, that's what everybody was saying.

00:36:47.700 I mean, I know the polls – look, I stand by my shoe shopping analysis.

00:36:53.900 This is – the Democrats are like going shopping for shoes with a woman. 1.00

00:36:59.380 They'll try them all on, and most times they'll walk out without buying a pair

00:37:04.780 because they just couldn't find the right pair.

00:37:08.880 They're all pumps.

00:37:10.020 They're all the same.

00:37:10.900 What do you – buy a pair.

00:37:12.940 Nope.

00:37:13.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:20.420 It's primary day in New Hampshire today,

00:37:23.440 and Bernie Sanders looks like he's leaving,

00:37:25.800 talking to a lot of people from New Hampshire.

00:37:27.580 We'll go back to the phones here in a second.

00:37:29.480 I just want to go over a Gallup survey that just happened.

00:37:32.680 And 59% of Americans say they are better off financially today than they were a year ago.

00:37:39.620 That's the highest since 1999.

00:37:43.380 Nearly three-quarters predict they will do better a year from now.

00:37:47.320 The most optimistic reading that Gallup's annual Mood of the Nation survey has ever recorded.

00:37:53.900 Now, I want to give you some more detail on this,

00:37:59.880 but remember, this is critical for the president to be reelected.

00:38:04.460 If people are confident in their economic situation, they are just not going to rock the boat.

00:38:11.520 And Gallup goes and they look at why people feel this way.

00:38:16.020 Let me give you a couple of examples.

00:38:17.420 There's a guy who runs a roofing business in Michigan, just outside of Detroit.

00:38:21.180 He said around the same time, the last presidential election,

00:38:24.440 he had enough jobs to keep one crew busy, but some of the gigs were just barely profitable.

00:38:30.360 Today, he can keep three crews busy during the spring and summer months,

00:38:34.000 and he's been able to raise prices, giving people estimates at $20,000 of a total redo on a roof,

00:38:39.640 finding that, quote, they don't even bat an eye anymore.

00:38:42.780 He said, I'm driving a brand new 2019 Ford F-250.

00:38:47.500 I've got work coming out of the yin-yang. 0.97

00:38:49.940 I'm doing okay.

00:38:51.260 Four years ago, I couldn't sleep at night.

00:38:54.280 That's a huge turnaround.

00:38:57.260 Now, they like to ask people why they feel this way and why they're hearing near record levels of people saying

00:39:06.840 their income and wealth are rising.

00:39:09.380 Could be that their income and wealth is rising.

00:39:12.300 I have only seen, this is according to the surveyors,

00:39:16.760 I've only seen this many people mention income gains twice before.

00:39:21.580 In 1966, after the 60s expansion, and in the year 2000, after the 1990s expansion.

00:39:31.120 Interviews with six small business owners across the country all acknowledged the economy had turned around under President Barack Obama,

00:39:39.200 but they pointed out that three more years of steady growth, solid job gains, and additional stock market records under Trump had turned cautious optimism into full-blown optimism.

00:39:51.600 Business owners varied in how much they credit Donald Trump personally, but all had examples of how they had more work than they could handle

00:40:00.500 and were buying equipment and bringing on new people in ways that had not happened since before the Great Recession.

00:40:07.020 Trump's approval rating on the economy has hit an all-time high, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll last month.

00:40:16.040 On Friday, the Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added 225,000 jobs in January.

00:40:24.280 You know what we don't hear anymore?

00:40:26.200 The number of jobs saved.

00:40:29.160 Remember that?

00:40:29.760 Yeah, now it's only created.

00:40:30.960 Yeah, now it's only created.

00:40:32.120 Donald Trump won't even save a job.

00:40:34.100 He hasn't even saved one.

00:40:35.560 He won't even do it.

00:40:36.560 Right.

00:40:37.020 I mean, remember when they used to have to do that with Obama all the time?

00:40:39.120 Well, the $45 million saved or created.

00:40:42.180 You know, if it wasn't for Barack Obama, no one would be employed, but he saved all the jobs in the United States.

00:40:49.640 Saved.

00:40:49.840 We were supposed to believe that every month.

00:40:52.180 Every month, and they reported that.

00:40:54.580 Saved or created jobs.

00:40:56.980 Many workers also felt better off financially thanks to tax cuts, cheaper gas prices, and minimum wage increases in more than 20 states.

00:41:05.780 This is what's amazing.

00:41:07.320 Tax cuts.

00:41:08.400 Who do you have to credit?

00:41:10.460 Cheaper gas prices.

00:41:12.300 Who do you have to credit?

00:41:13.660 You know what was amazing that I never thought I would hear in my lifetime, and I knew we could see it if we set our minds to it.

00:41:22.780 America is now energy independent.

00:41:27.620 We do not need energy from any other country in the world.

00:41:33.520 Do you know how great that is?

00:41:36.320 That makes us one of the strongest nations, if not the strongest nation in the world.

00:41:44.040 If you have all the energy you need, if you can access and refine all the energy that you can use, that makes you a defensible nation.

00:41:57.140 Nobody is going to threaten us, and us have to worry about, well, are we going to be able to afford the oil?

00:42:06.100 Are we going to be able to have enough oil?

00:42:07.720 Are we going to be able to put that into our ships, into our planes?

00:42:10.160 Also, wage growth has inched up for rank-and-file workers in recent months.

00:42:15.900 Economists say one of the biggest drivers of consumer confidence is job quantity.

00:42:21.780 Confidence rises when people feel as if it's easy to get a job, even if it's not a high-paying one.

00:42:28.000 Job growth has slowed lately, averaging $182,000 a month under Trump versus $220,000 a month in the 37 months at the end of Obama's tenure.

00:42:36.800 But the health of the labor market is evident, with unemployment rate nearly half a century low at 3.6.

00:42:44.420 The nation has added over 2 million jobs every year for the past nine years, an unprecedented streak of steady gains.

00:42:53.180 Women today outnumber men in the American workforce for only the second time. 0.99

00:42:58.700 Your chance of going to work tomorrow and getting laid off is lower than it has ever been going back to 1948.

00:43:10.720 Now, think about what the country was going through in 1948.

00:43:16.840 They were retooling from a war economy back to a peacetime economy, and all of the soldiers were coming back.

00:43:30.220 Wow.

00:43:31.060 That feeling of job security is very important.

00:43:34.880 It's an upswing.

00:43:36.160 The economy is—one person said the economy would not be as good now without Donald Trump.

00:43:42.700 I'd give Trump 80% or 90% of the credit, even under Obama, when it was good.

00:43:47.400 There was no profitability.

00:43:49.620 Now, this is really important.

00:43:52.000 How do you lose?

00:43:52.520 How do you lose?

00:43:52.540 How do you lose with this economy?

00:43:53.680 I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and he's like,

00:43:55.660 yeah, I was watching the impeachment thing and the economy and everything.

00:43:59.960 And, like, I mean, what do you think the chances are?

00:44:02.060 Is there any chance Trump loses this?

00:44:04.060 And I'm like, well, yeah.

00:44:05.760 Yeah, there is.

00:44:06.300 I mean, there absolutely is.

00:44:08.020 And he's like, what do you think the chances are?

00:44:09.920 I'm like, I think I would consider Donald Trump right now to be a slight favorite.

00:44:14.700 Slight.

00:44:15.480 You know, what, 55-45?

00:44:17.820 Something like that?

00:44:18.700 And he's like, oh, no way.

00:44:20.260 I think it's a 90% chance he gets reelected.

00:44:22.420 No.

00:44:22.520 And that will help him lose the election.

00:44:27.000 If everybody doesn't go out and vote, he could lose the election.

00:44:32.660 Because if you take for granted that, oh, no, these are all weak candidates.

00:44:37.860 No.

00:44:38.540 And you don't want – I don't want a close election.

00:44:42.180 I don't want one.

00:44:43.420 I want this to be – you know, it doesn't have to be a landslide,

00:44:47.020 but could we please, you know, all get out and vote?

00:44:52.080 Yeah.

00:44:52.160 All get out and vote.

00:44:53.100 Look, 40 – what's the number?

00:44:55.300 40, 45% of people in this country, no matter what, are going to vote against Donald Trump.

00:45:02.820 Yes.

00:45:03.240 Right?

00:45:03.640 Yes.

00:45:04.020 No matter what.

00:45:05.120 Right.

00:45:05.640 So, like, all that being said, you know, you have to think of this as one or two big news events

00:45:12.900 timed incorrectly and the economy being the biggest one puts him in real risk.

00:45:18.620 I mean, if there's an economic downturn, if people just perceive it.

00:45:21.780 The coronavirus –

00:45:22.720 The coronavirus.

00:45:23.240 Even if it is all contained in China, but China can't get their goods out. 0.68

00:45:27.240 Yeah.

00:45:27.600 By fall, there is a real crunch at all of the stores.

00:45:35.180 You're going to have a hard time finding parts for your car.

00:45:37.860 All kinds of stuff will happen.

00:45:39.880 And that infection, not just the coronavirus, but the infection on the global economy, it 0.75

00:45:47.840 can be earth-shattering.

00:45:49.460 It could be earth-shattering.

00:45:51.140 It really can.

00:45:52.220 And, you know, just – you never know.

00:45:54.040 Now, when it gets down to one-on-one, you don't know what's going to happen.

00:45:57.720 This is the argument that Democrats had in 2016 where they said, yeah, we want Donald

00:46:03.420 Trump.

00:46:03.680 He's the easiest to beat.

00:46:05.040 Now, of course, obviously they were wrong on that, but that's what they wanted to happen.

00:46:08.080 And it got down to a one-on-one race.

00:46:10.620 You know, you had an FBI investigation announced 10 days before an election.

00:46:16.000 You know, how does that affect?

00:46:17.820 We have no idea what could happen.

00:46:19.660 And this is why I think I am – I think I finally settled on I don't want Bernie Sanders

00:46:24.560 to be the nominee because you just don't want to put that much at risk.

00:46:28.340 God forbid something happens with the news in the last second and Bernie Sanders becomes

00:46:32.900 our president.

00:46:33.540 President, this is a guy who wants this to be Cuba.

00:46:37.840 Anybody who has a chance left is, for me, the only one is Amy Klobuchar.

00:46:44.480 Yeah, I mean, you know, look, Biden, I think, is fading so fast.

00:46:47.200 I mean, Buttigieg is not – none of these people are moderates, including Klobuchar.

00:46:50.960 She's not a moderate either.

00:46:52.060 I know that.

00:46:52.920 But, you know, you're right.

00:46:54.360 I mean, like, out of the who's left to have a chance –

00:46:56.120 You want Bloomberg?

00:46:56.720 No, God.

00:46:57.940 Bloomberg, people are going to be like, well, he used to be a Republican.

00:47:00.700 That will win people over. 0.98

00:47:02.420 But Bloomberg is a fascist. 0.96

00:47:06.660 Yeah. 1.00

00:47:06.980 He is a fascist. 0.75

00:47:08.740 He believes in all big government control of sugar, your body intake, how much money 0.92

00:47:14.280 you're making.

00:47:15.020 The ultimate progressive.

00:47:16.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:47:17.000 Him and Warren are the two biggest progressives in this race.

00:47:19.300 Not socialists, but progressives.

00:47:20.760 Right.

00:47:20.940 And remember, the thing about Bloomberg that's different, yes, he is much more friendly to

00:47:26.800 capitalism than a lot of these candidates are.

00:47:29.240 That's true.

00:47:31.000 On the other side of that, though, he is incredibly extreme.

00:47:36.000 More extreme than Bernie Sanders on issues like guns.

00:47:39.680 He is on climate.

00:47:41.100 He's right there with Sanders.

00:47:42.160 He is – on those issues where he's really left, he's really left.

00:47:47.180 And as far as control of your individual life, Bloomberg lives there.

00:47:50.900 He wants total control.

00:47:51.520 He wants total control.

00:47:52.640 He thinks he knows better than everyone else.

00:47:55.880 I mean, just be careful what you wish for because this thing could go any direction.

00:48:03.040 I mean, honestly, I mean this sincerely.

00:48:06.160 Would you be surprised, Stu?

00:48:07.840 Yes.

00:48:08.220 Would you be surprised today if NASA announced we made a connection with life outside of our

00:48:16.160 solar system?

00:48:16.920 I might be moderately surprised by that.

00:48:19.120 But not like –

00:48:19.960 It's not like –

00:48:20.540 What?

00:48:21.100 Yeah.

00:48:21.820 It's like, oh, wow, you're kidding me.

00:48:24.200 But it would be – quickly, it would devolve – the conversation would devolve to,

00:48:29.660 can you believe what – I mean, everything is changing.

00:48:32.320 Everything we thought was solid is now liquid.

00:48:35.700 I mean, it's crazy.

00:48:37.800 Can't keep up.

00:48:38.460 Yeah.

00:48:38.720 So don't – be careful what you wish for.

00:48:40.940 The idea of overwhelming the system, which was attempted by Barack Obama –

00:48:45.120 Is there.

00:48:45.720 We're beyond his wildest dreams on that one.

00:48:51.300 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:49:02.320 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:49:05.640 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:49:10.020 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:49:14.040 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:49:23.560 You can subscribe on iTunes.

00:49:25.180 Thanks.

00:49:25.460 I want to talk to you a little bit about socialism.

00:49:30.640 We are now in the throes of the real debate in America on whether we're going to be socialist or not.

00:49:39.800 And America must decide.

00:49:41.940 We cannot keep going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

00:49:45.420 We have to decide.

00:49:47.960 Are we a free nation or not?

00:49:51.980 In a minute, I'm going to give you some of the things that Bernie Sanders is now working on dozens of potential executive orders

00:49:58.000 because he knows he won't be able to get them past the Democrats or the Republicans in Congress.

00:50:04.220 So what is it that he wants to pass?

00:50:09.720 I've written a new book, and it's out for sale today.

00:50:12.660 It comes out, what, April 7th, I think, and it's on sale today if you want to pre-order at Amazon. 0.79

00:50:19.120 It's called Arguing with Socialists, and it is in our Arguing with Idiots format.

00:50:25.400 It is a four-color, every-page book. 0.98

00:50:29.800 It's made almost like a comic book in some parts of it, and it takes socialism apart piece by piece.

00:50:38.780 But it starts with how to use this book basically saying, look, I'm going to be real straight with you.

00:50:46.380 This is who I am.

00:50:47.440 This is what I believe.

00:50:49.080 And if you really want to know about socialism, you have to do your own homework.

00:50:55.480 And everything in here is researched and footnoted, and we have about 100 pages of footnotes afterwards.

00:51:02.280 And look at it.

00:51:05.080 Now, I don't think any diehard socialist is going to pick up this book and go, hmm.

00:51:11.760 But curious people will.

00:51:15.040 You have a big influence, a big influence on the people around you.

00:51:20.980 And socialism is all around you.

00:51:23.180 And it's hard.

00:51:23.980 I mean, one of the reasons why I wrote this book is for my own kids, because they have a lot of socialist friends.

00:51:30.840 They have people who believe in this stuff, and they don't know what they're talking about.

00:51:37.140 And the socialists have made it very, very easy to buy into socialism.

00:51:42.580 No, no, it's socialism like Sweden.

00:51:45.400 We take Sweden apart, and we show you what's really happening in Sweden.

00:51:49.300 We show you what is capitalism and what is socialism.

00:51:54.820 And all of the arguments are there.

00:51:58.100 So if you want to, pre-order the book now.

00:52:01.960 You can find it on Amazon.

00:52:03.160 It's called Arguing with Socialists.

00:52:05.320 It comes out in April.

00:52:08.020 I wondered if we were going to need it.

00:52:12.080 Because when I started writing it, I thought, okay, this is Bernie Sanders.

00:52:15.880 I mean, he can't be the nominee.

00:52:19.300 But look at the panic.

00:52:21.700 This book can be given to your Democratic friends.

00:52:25.700 Because your Democratic friends, the ones who don't believe in the end of capitalism, which I think is the majority, they're now panicking.

00:52:36.260 They don't know what to do.

00:52:38.320 Bernie Sanders is coming in.

00:52:40.320 And let me just give you this.

00:52:41.540 These are a list of potential and possible executive actions from the Bernie Sanders campaign.

00:52:52.300 Now, there are dozens of options for reversing President Trump's immigration policy, such as lifting the cap on the number of refugees accepted into the United States,

00:53:01.580 immediately halting all border wall construction.

00:53:05.040 Another option is to reinstate the Obama-era program that granted legal status to undocumented immigrants brought here to the United States as children.

00:53:14.480 The list of potential executive actions include unilaterally allowing the United States to import prescription drugs from Canada and directing the Justice Department to legalize marijuana.

00:53:31.420 These are executive orders.

00:53:33.260 Declaring climate change a national emergency.

00:53:37.960 Stu, what happens when we declare climate change a national emergency?

00:53:42.880 I mean, in theory, you could basically do anything.

00:53:45.700 Because just like the Commerce Clause, right?

00:53:48.140 Everything is commerce.

00:53:49.440 Well, everything is climate.

00:53:50.720 Every bit of economic activity can affect the climate and the way they've constructed this.

00:53:55.800 So they can basically do anything.

00:53:57.220 And if you declare a national emergency, we have like 54 national emergencies still on the books, things that have been acted a long time ago.

00:54:07.180 The executive branch never closes them down because it gives them power.

00:54:12.620 And if you declare climate change, which, as Stu said, is completely all-encompassing, it gives the executive branch reason and the legal power to be able to do really everything.

00:54:26.180 His national emergency on climate change, he has an executive order being prepared banning the exportation of crude oil.

00:54:42.920 So we're not going to be able to pipeline it around here.

00:54:47.080 We're, of course, not going to build any refineries.

00:54:49.760 We're probably going to shut down drilling sites.

00:54:53.020 But we also can't make any money on crude oil.

00:54:56.920 Other options in the document include canceling federal contracts for firms paying workers less than $15 an hour.

00:55:05.340 Now, I just want you to know, that sounds great.

00:55:08.560 But where are all those wages getting paid?

00:55:12.300 From your tax dollars.

00:55:14.160 So, if you want, oh, that's great.

00:55:17.860 You know, the federal government, that only affects the federal government.

00:55:20.500 No, that affects your wallet.

00:55:25.780 Also, reversing federal rules blocking U.S. funding to organizations that provide abortion counseling.

00:55:31.760 Now, this document was prepared by Fayez Shakir, who is a radical, a radical.

00:55:42.740 The people who are in Bernie Sanders' office are people that have worked with Antifa.

00:55:50.460 They are absolute radicals.

00:55:53.540 As we continue discussing, this is what he wrote, as we continue discussing the early work of your presidency and the progress we can make, below for review is a brief overview of executive actions you can take earlier in your administration.

00:56:09.220 We cannot accept any delay from Congress on some of the most pressing issues, especially like the immigration, where Trump is governed with racism and for his own corrupt benefit.

00:56:20.120 He is going to put through, through legislative channels, Medicare for all, single health care system, which we told you would be the thing that they would do.

00:56:34.680 They would put it in.

00:56:36.200 It would collapse under the next president.

00:56:38.740 And then they would say, single payer health care.

00:56:41.580 We told you that would happen.

00:56:43.920 Now it's happening.

00:56:45.120 He also is putting through the new Green Deal to remake the nation's energy system.

00:56:52.060 Now, can I ask you a question?

00:56:54.200 Have you been to the gas pump lately?

00:56:58.400 Have you seen the price of heating oil, air conditioning, electricity?

00:57:04.980 It may not be as cheap as you would love it to be, but I don't think we need to rework our nation's energy system.

00:57:16.440 The worst thing we can do is introduce government all along the way.

00:57:22.560 We are, for the first time in American history since, you know, carbon fuel, energy independent.

00:57:32.460 Energy independent for the very first time.

00:57:39.620 That's never been true in my lifetime.

00:57:42.280 That is, that's something we aspired to.

00:57:49.180 So one woman told him in a town hall in Iowa in January, what are you going to do about the partisanship that prevents any good Democrat from getting anywhere in Congress right now?

00:57:58.420 He said, quote, we're going to run a different type of presidency.

00:58:06.000 Well, I don't know what kind of presidency that is.

00:58:08.480 What do you mean you're going to run a different type of presidency?

00:58:11.940 The president has to work through Congress unless you do it through fiat because you have emergencies that have to be done.

00:58:21.580 You have to have these things done.

00:58:24.560 Of course, you have to have these things done.

00:58:26.840 And we can't wait around.

00:58:30.320 You and you and I are going to go on a journey in the next few months with lessons about socialism.

00:58:37.720 Because people don't understand how this is it.

00:58:43.260 But this is truly it.

00:58:45.880 If Bernie Sanders gets in, there is no coming back from that.

00:58:52.820 Bernie Sanders is a guy that stood with Russia during the years of horrid, horrid poverty and oppression. 0.97

00:59:05.640 He said that what was great was the, and I'm quoting him, the chandeliers in the subway.

00:59:15.460 What the hell is that?

00:59:18.920 I don't need chandeliers in the subway.

00:59:20.920 I need them to be clean, safe and moving.

00:59:23.040 That's all I need.

00:59:23.780 We don't need chandeliers.

00:59:26.420 But that's one of the things he was really impressed with, with the beautiful chandeliers.

00:59:30.500 It was a collapsing society that was killing and oppressing its own people so they could have the chandeliers for the right people in the right places.

00:59:41.780 This is who he is.

00:59:44.340 This is what he believes in.

00:59:46.860 This is what the Democrats have brought to America.

00:59:51.460 And I'm hoping that if they see how close they are to a Bernie Sanders presidency, perhaps they will wake up.

01:00:08.620 They should.

01:00:10.520 Everyone I know that is a real big Democrat, even real, real, real liberal.

01:00:18.860 Not a socialist, not a Marxist, but an American liberal that has agreed with, I mean, just thought Barack Obama was the greatest thing ever.

01:00:29.120 All of them are saying now, we can't have that.

01:00:34.180 If Bernie Sanders, I've talked to people who don't agree with me on anything.

01:00:40.100 If Bernie Sanders is the Democratic candidate, I think I have to even campaign for Donald Trump.

01:00:46.020 And they hate him.

01:00:48.980 They just know that's the end of business in America.
