The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 2⧸17⧸20

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu today, uh, for Glenn, who's out with the coronavirus, uh, he...

00:00:05.640 It's just a 24-hour coronavirus, though, I think.

00:00:08.460 Well, he took a Japanese cruise to Cambodia.

00:00:11.160 Yeah.

00:00:11.620 Um, and then he stopped in Wuhan.

00:00:13.820 And all those things are apparently things you're not supposed to be doing right now.

00:00:16.760 Wow.

00:00:17.140 So he'll be back, uh, on tomorrow's program.

00:00:18.960 But for today, we have a lot to go through, uh, including, uh, the, uh, the President's Day.

00:00:24.440 What?

00:00:24.580 I really, we start the show with a, with a, with a review of President's Day that is very strange, I will say.

00:00:31.560 Uh, but we do get through some of the real facts about the, our, our, our former leaders, uh, here in the United States.

00:00:36.660 Also, uh, Michael Bloomberg, all the rest of the stuff.

00:00:38.720 There's so much opposition research dropping on, on Bloomberg right now.

00:00:42.000 Uh, we go through a bunch of that.

00:00:43.600 Uh, Joe Biden explains why Obama put kids in cages.

00:00:47.240 You're not going to want to miss that explanation.

00:00:49.120 It's pretty solid.

00:00:49.760 Well, they had to.

00:00:51.800 Basically, that's what it is.

00:00:52.820 That's basically what it is.

00:00:53.340 They had to.

00:00:53.980 Yeah, I mean, they gave away the whole show.

00:00:55.760 I don't understand.

00:00:56.260 I'm sorry.

00:00:56.800 I'm sorry. 0.93

00:00:57.740 And, uh, the new transgender trend where males are, uh, dominating, excuse me, I'm sorry, trans women are dominating. 1.00

00:01:06.300 Thank you.

00:01:06.840 Thank you.

00:01:07.200 Traditional women? 1.00

00:01:08.420 Like the ones that were born that we thought were girls? 0.73

00:01:10.600 Yeah.

00:01:10.900 They're losing a lot of races now.

00:01:12.320 They were assigned female at birth.

00:01:15.340 Thank you.

00:01:15.900 That's much better than what I came up with.

00:01:17.740 It is much.

00:01:18.580 That's all coming up, uh, today on the program.

00:01:20.340 And I want to remind you, when you're here, you're in a podcast app already.

00:01:23.400 Hey, what a smart thing it would be to go over and click on Stew Does America and subscribe there, rate and review that podcast.

00:01:39.820 Well, you'll be happy and you'll be rich eventually.

00:01:43.040 I mean, I don't know when, but not because of this, you know, unrelated to some day you'll be rich if you work really hard and apply yourself or you'll die before that happens.

00:01:50.800 One of the two.

00:01:51.520 Uh, so check it out all on today's podcast.

00:02:00.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:04.840 With Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:12.800 Happy President's Day.

00:02:14.420 Not just any, I mean, well, yeah, just any president.

00:02:17.460 It's not, uh, not a specific president anymore.

00:02:20.480 Right.

00:02:21.020 It used to be, uh, Washington and Lincoln had their separate days.

00:02:27.620 Then they were combined and it was like, nah, it's just for all presidents.

00:02:32.100 Okay.

00:02:32.620 Yeah.

00:02:32.920 I, I generally only support William Henry Harrison today.

00:02:36.940 Really?

00:02:37.320 That's kind of where the direction I like to go.

00:02:39.420 Yeah.

00:02:39.760 I'll throw in a little Tyler at times, you know, just to mix it up.

00:02:43.180 Okay.

00:02:43.520 Those are the only presidents I actually support on President's Day.

00:02:46.320 Huh.

00:02:46.620 Mm-hmm.

00:02:47.060 That's interesting.

00:02:47.740 Yeah.

00:02:48.000 Well, you know, look, I, if it was a specific president, then maybe I would think about them on this day, but it's not. 0.98

00:02:54.700 It's just presidents in general, which, you know, a lot of them sucked.

00:02:59.020 So I don't know why they would be honored on a day like today. 0.59

00:03:01.480 Yeah.

00:03:01.760 But they are.

00:03:02.480 Are you a big James Buchanan fan too?

00:03:04.720 Huge Buchanan guy.

00:03:05.620 Huge Buchanan guy.

00:03:05.920 Yeah.

00:03:06.020 Huge Buchanan guy.

00:03:06.960 Widely considered the worst president of all time.

00:03:09.080 Kind of is.

00:03:09.580 Yeah.

00:03:10.140 Uh, so.

00:03:10.960 Which is saying something.

00:03:11.900 Yeah, it is.

00:03:12.400 Because there have been some really bad ones.

00:03:13.920 Really bad ones.

00:03:15.080 Woodrow Wilson comes to mind.

00:03:16.680 Oh, my.

00:03:17.680 Uh, Lyndon Johnson comes to mind.

00:03:20.220 Thank you.

00:03:21.880 Thank you for mentioning him in this. 0.94

00:03:23.380 Yes, he's awful. 0.97

00:03:24.700 He was awful. 0.97

00:03:25.000 He, for some reason, he gets a pass.

00:03:27.560 Gets a pass on this.

00:03:29.040 Is it because he didn't run for a second term?

00:03:31.480 Well, he had that half, you know, that one year that where he took over for Kennedy.

00:03:36.040 Then he won an election.

00:03:38.260 And then he decided not to run for a second term.

00:03:40.840 So a second full term.

00:03:42.300 And maybe it's that that got him off.

00:03:45.040 I don't, I don't know that they got him out of everybody thinking he was so bad because

00:03:49.120 it was only, what, five years.

00:03:51.460 I mean, if, if he ran for a reelection and won, we'd have to come up with new numbers

00:03:56.640 to describe the debt that we have.

00:03:58.640 Because right now we're going trillion.

00:04:00.000 We kind of know quadrillion's next.

00:04:01.300 After that, who knows?

00:04:01.980 I don't think it's possible to know.

00:04:03.800 I know, Pat.

00:04:04.720 Just like the metric system.

00:04:05.800 It's not possible to know what's next.

00:04:07.420 Yeah.

00:04:07.680 It's nobody knows.

00:04:08.660 Nobody knows.

00:04:09.200 But when we get there, we would get there with Lyndon Johnson and another term.

00:04:12.180 Quadrillion?

00:04:12.600 Oh, easy.

00:04:13.760 Easy.

00:04:14.340 I think we get to the next one.

00:04:15.620 I mean, I would say it's quintillion, but who even knows until you get there?

00:04:19.180 Yeah.

00:04:19.440 You don't know until you're on the doorstep of quintillion.

00:04:22.260 What, if it is quintillion or quadrillion or what it is.

00:04:25.640 But I mean, there's a, there's a meme that goes around on social media, which I just love.

00:04:31.440 And it shows these political buttons from, you know, long time ago, from social security

00:04:37.940 time and Medicare time.

00:04:39.580 And it's like, remember, remember 50 and 75 years ago when Republicans were telling us

00:04:45.340 socialism was going to destroy our country?

00:04:47.600 I don't either.

00:04:49.300 Did it happen?

00:04:50.620 No.

00:04:51.660 And it's like, well, you guys do realize we're $23 trillion in debt.

00:04:57.820 Yeah.

00:04:58.040 With a hundred trillion in long-term liabilities.

00:05:00.400 And almost all of it are the two programs you're sitting here defending.

00:05:03.620 Yes.

00:05:03.840 Almost all of it.

00:05:04.700 That the Republicans were saying is socialism because it is.

00:05:08.100 It is.

00:05:08.860 It is.

00:05:09.200 It might be popular socialism, but it's socialism nonetheless.

00:05:13.200 Nobody wants to eliminate it now.

00:05:14.820 Everybody's afraid, scared to death to even say anything about it.

00:05:18.660 But social security and Medicare, Medicaid have bankrupted this country.

00:05:24.160 And we just were like, oh, I love it.

00:05:26.640 Don't keep the state out of my Medicare.

00:05:29.520 Even Republicans will say that.

00:05:31.200 Oh, yeah.

00:05:31.380 There is no opposition party for this.

00:05:33.640 No, there isn't.

00:05:34.100 The Democrats wanted bigger.

00:05:35.100 I mean, even Trump and all the Republicans say they are not going to do anything to screw

00:05:38.980 with it.

00:05:39.660 It is exactly.

00:05:41.060 They're afraid of it.

00:05:41.780 They're afraid of it.

00:05:42.420 Because it is popular now.

00:05:43.600 Because once you've been given stuff, you're going to want to keep taking it.

00:05:48.240 Yeah.

00:05:48.820 There's no going back on that.

00:05:50.040 You can't turn back on that.

00:05:51.100 And there is a legitimate argument from people who have been paying into the system for a

00:05:56.800 long time and wish to receive it.

00:05:58.220 I understand that.

00:05:58.720 Like us, we've paid into the system for a really long time.

00:06:01.720 Though no plan that looks to adjust it would change that.

00:06:06.100 Like, if you are going to get Medicare soon, there's no plan that's under proposal that

00:06:12.060 would change that for any of these people.

00:06:14.560 Right.

00:06:14.700 Like, it's only people who would be coming up in the system later.

00:06:18.540 Remember when George W. Bush wanted to reform it?

00:06:21.640 Yeah.

00:06:22.020 And it was like, if you want to keep your current system, this won't touch anybody who's already

00:06:27.740 got benefits.

00:06:28.960 And he would say that all the time.

00:06:31.340 No one cares.

00:06:32.080 Nobody cared.

00:06:32.880 It was like, you're going to take away my Social Security?

00:06:35.140 No, he specifically said he's not.

00:06:37.620 And by the way, he was offering something that would be, that for every person.

00:06:41.540 Would have been much better.

00:06:42.140 Everyone who has ever existed in the country would do much, you'd do much better under

00:06:46.220 his proposed system.

00:06:47.580 And including after the 2008 collapse, all of that stuff, you'd still do much, much better

00:06:54.420 under the proposal that was given by George W. Bush at that time.

00:06:57.820 Yeah.

00:06:58.040 However, everyone was scared of it, so we didn't do it, so now everyone gets less.

00:07:00.920 And we all cheer it, because at least we can depend on less.

00:07:04.600 Yeah.

00:07:05.260 It is a bizarre thing.

00:07:06.980 Crazy.

00:07:07.240 And it's this weird denial where everyone looks at these programs as if they're positive

00:07:13.420 things.

00:07:14.400 They are clearly destroying the future of our country when it comes to debt.

00:07:20.020 There's no doubt about it.

00:07:21.060 Every single estimate looking forward says the same thing, that this is going to grow from

00:07:26.460 where it is now at $23 trillion in debt, and will continue to increase.

00:07:30.020 And then, not only will it be these programs that are wiping us out, but it will also be

00:07:36.240 the payments on the debt on the past years of that program that will wind up being 30,

00:07:40.920 40, 50% of our budget every year.

00:07:42.800 That is not a sustainable situation.

00:07:45.520 However, it's popular, and so people go on the internet and they post these things as if

00:07:50.560 they're brilliant geniuses, and does anybody ever put a minute of thought into what they're

00:07:56.480 actually posting?

00:07:57.200 I don't think so.

00:07:57.800 Do you see that story that said by 2030, we're going to be at 180% of GDP in our debt?

00:08:03.640 Our debt will be 180% of GDP.

00:08:07.080 It's not positive.

00:08:07.980 It's unsustainable.

00:08:09.280 So if we don't stop that trend by then, it's going to be a disaster.

00:08:16.340 And this is why we shouldn't have President's Day.

00:08:18.160 We're going to honor people that have put us $180 trillion in debt?

00:08:21.400 Come on.

00:08:22.120 Come on.

00:08:23.240 That's not good.

00:08:24.240 That's not right.

00:08:25.060 All right.

00:08:25.460 Let's pause 60 seconds, and we'll be right back on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:08:31.220 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

00:08:37.020 This is great.

00:08:38.660 The Iowa caucus was a total debacle for the Democrats.

00:08:45.320 I mean, they just, they botched it so badly.

00:08:49.240 I mean, even they admit that. 0.99

00:08:51.660 Not just because all of the candidates sucked. 0.99

00:08:54.540 Right. 1.00

00:08:54.740 Because that was a disaster.

00:08:55.920 That was the, we knew that disaster going in, though.

00:08:58.640 This is the secondary disaster in which they couldn't count the votes.

00:09:02.200 Amazing.

00:09:02.640 Did you see this report in the New York Times, by the way, that went over all the ways they

00:09:07.700 made mistakes?

00:09:08.460 No.

00:09:08.640 It is incredible, because for all the beating the New York Times takes, 99.9% of it very

00:09:16.080 well deserved.

00:09:17.200 They're really good at this type of thing, which is looking at an inane amount of depth

00:09:24.780 to cover these really intricate things like this.

00:09:27.980 Yeah.

00:09:28.140 And so they go through and just list how, like, you know, the way the system works is

00:09:32.720 you have to get 15% of the vote to have any chance to be viable.

00:09:35.920 Right.

00:09:36.200 So you go in there and a lot of, a lot of candidates have 10% of the vote.

00:09:41.040 And so they're not viable.

00:09:42.400 And those people can go to another candidate.

00:09:45.600 So whatever the first count of votes is, has to be the lowest amount of votes in total.

00:09:55.240 Right.

00:09:55.520 You, people can't come in after that, that first vote.

00:09:59.060 So you, they look in, they have like a hundred different places where there's like 5,000 votes

00:10:03.880 in the first vote.

00:10:05.220 And then there's 6,000 in the second.

00:10:07.720 Well, no one was allowed to join after the first vote.

00:10:10.860 You couldn't come in and do it again.

00:10:12.280 And there's mistakes like that all over the place.

00:10:14.520 And they have it all documented.

00:10:16.180 Sometimes it's like, well.

00:10:17.880 It's like they've done this for just the first time.

00:10:19.580 It's incredible.

00:10:20.300 It's incredible.

00:10:20.940 Well, and the rules are so complicated, Pat.

00:10:24.200 I actually understand how it got screwed up.

00:10:27.000 It's, there are things like.

00:10:28.300 Hasn't it always been though?

00:10:29.520 Why don't they have this down yet?

00:10:30.760 I don't know.

00:10:31.520 I don't know.

00:10:31.840 They did change a lot of the rules.

00:10:34.000 They changed some of them.

00:10:35.180 The Bernie people came in after last time.

00:10:37.460 And they were pissed about it last time.

00:10:39.180 They wanted, they thought they should have won Iowa last time.

00:10:43.860 They lost in a very close election to Hillary.

00:10:46.000 Went on to blow Hillary out in New Hampshire. 0.99

00:10:47.780 And they think if they would have won both of those states, maybe they get the nomination.

00:10:51.100 It would have changed the 3 million people who voted.

00:10:53.780 Or 4 million people who voted against him?

00:10:56.400 Okay.

00:10:56.900 It was a huge gap there.

00:10:57.860 People were like, oh, he got the election taken from him.

00:10:59.900 Really?

00:11:00.300 He lost.

00:11:01.140 I mean, be honest about it.

00:11:01.980 Yeah. 1.00

00:11:02.160 He got his butt kicked. 0.99

00:11:03.380 With Bernie Sanders, what you have is about 25% of people who actually like Bernie in that 0.99

00:11:07.360 primary.

00:11:07.980 Yeah.

00:11:08.100 Another 15% who just didn't like Hillary, which gets him to 40, does not get him to 50.

00:11:12.560 Like Hillary still won 60% of the vote in the primary overall. 1.00

00:11:18.280 But this is their complaint.

00:11:20.360 This was their big complaint.

00:11:21.600 So that's why they had the popular vote released this time for the first time.

00:11:25.060 And they had the secondary popular vote, which Bernie won on both counts.

00:11:29.340 Buttigieg still wins with the statewide delegate equivalents.

00:11:35.280 But the statewide delegate equivalent, obviously it's a ridiculous idea. 1.00

00:11:40.620 Just count the stupid votes, right? 1.00

00:11:43.940 And again, I understand that this is what the left says about the electoral college. 1.00

00:11:48.480 It's a totally different situation.

00:11:50.360 In a primary like this, it makes a lot of sense to just do the popular vote.

00:11:53.720 So they look at this and they would come down and two people would tie for the amount

00:12:00.920 of delegates they were supposed to have.

00:12:02.560 So there'd be one delegate outstanding.

00:12:04.980 Let's say they had five and they were supposed to tie.

00:12:06.920 They can't split the delegates.

00:12:07.920 So instead of it being two and a half versus two and a half, which might make some sense

00:12:12.380 if you tie, right?

00:12:13.500 They have to award the one delegate to one of the two candidates.

00:12:18.560 So it has to be three to two, even if they tie, which makes no sense.

00:12:23.460 Weird.

00:12:23.660 So this is why you saw the coin flipping going on.

00:12:26.720 Legitimately flipping coins.

00:12:28.960 Why are you flipping a...

00:12:30.100 Why are you doing a coin toss in a political matchup like that? 0.99

00:12:34.120 It's ridiculous. 0.96

00:12:35.660 Is that democracy? 0.98

00:12:36.820 I guess so.

00:12:37.680 This is what democracy looks like, as they used to chant all the time.

00:12:40.620 Oh, man.

00:12:41.280 So in other times, there would be like, they would have to round the vote percentages off

00:12:47.760 and they would round them incorrectly.

00:12:49.740 So then there'd be extra delegates.

00:12:51.200 They only had seven to give away and they gave away eight.

00:12:54.040 This was happening all over the state.

00:12:55.900 Unreal.

00:12:56.460 And so this was a complete disaster.

00:12:58.320 And the app was a big part of it because the app was supposed to do a lot of these calculations

00:13:01.300 for the people.

00:13:02.420 So how much of this was because they had new rules?

00:13:04.960 Was all of it?

00:13:06.300 Some of it.

00:13:07.480 What they were describing, you know, the app was supposed to do it all.

00:13:10.360 Obviously, the app didn't work.

00:13:11.640 So then they had a long handbook that would describe what to do in all these really intricate

00:13:20.420 situations.

00:13:21.080 So if you have a tie, if you have, you know, too many delegates, too few delegates, if the

00:13:26.360 rounding leads to both people getting a delegate when only one of them is supposed to, blah,

00:13:30.560 blah, blah.

00:13:30.820 All these complicated situations, a long handbook that they admit themselves did not actually

00:13:37.060 cover all of the possibilities.

00:13:39.420 Why don't you just go to a primary? 0.87

00:13:40.940 I mean, it's ridiculous.

00:13:41.740 Just let people come in and vote for their favorite candidate. 0.81

00:13:44.560 Yeah.

00:13:44.940 I mean, make it easy.

00:13:45.920 You know, they're doing this thing in, and I actually think this is a really good thing

00:13:49.640 for all voting, but they're doing this thing in Nevada this time with basically what is

00:13:54.200 essentially ranked choice voting.

00:13:56.340 And didn't they have the same system, though?

00:13:58.340 They had the same app.

00:13:59.440 So they had the same app initially.

00:14:01.560 Now they've changed this, Pat.

00:14:03.280 So now they have a new app that is coming on party-controlled iPads.

00:14:10.900 So the party comes and gives you the iPad with the new app on it that they've never used.

00:14:16.560 Oh, good.

00:14:17.020 Now, considering they were using a different app two weeks ago, what could possibly go wrong?

00:14:20.800 What could go wrong?

00:14:21.660 So they're going to try to do this.

00:14:22.820 And now they also have here early state voting.

00:14:26.520 So how do you do that with a caucus? 0.98

00:14:28.840 You're supposed to all go into a room, and then everyone gets in their dumb groups, right? 0.99

00:14:32.100 Yeah. 0.82

00:14:32.360 So in Nevada, they're having early voting where they're doing basically a ranked choice voting.

00:14:36.820 It's like, my number one choice is Tulsi Gabbard.

00:14:39.060 My number two is Tom Steyer.

00:14:40.760 My number three is Joe Biden, right?

00:14:42.680 So if Steyer and Gabbard are not viable at 15%, your votes will go to Biden.

00:14:49.500 You know, you can rank them like that, which I think is a smart thing for all voting, actually.

00:14:54.160 Because then you'd be able to—it wouldn't seem like you're throwing your vote away in a third-party candidate.

00:14:58.820 If you think you want to go for the—whatever, the Libertarian in a particular race—

00:15:03.040 And they're not going to win.

00:15:03.840 They're not going to win.

00:15:04.540 You go to your second choice.

00:15:05.400 You go to your second choice, which would be the Republican, let's say.

00:15:07.500 Yeah.

00:15:07.660 And I think that makes a lot of sense, frankly.

00:15:09.440 It does.

00:15:10.200 So they're going to do some of that.

00:15:11.380 Like you said, people couldn't tell you, ah, it's a binary choice.

00:15:14.020 You're throwing your vote away.

00:15:15.900 I get that argument, but you wind up with a two-party system until the end of time with two terrible parties with that idea.

00:15:25.360 That's where we are.

00:15:26.180 And that's where we are because of it, right?

00:15:28.240 So they've started doing that.

00:15:29.580 They did it in Maine.

00:15:30.600 They've been trying to roll this out across the country, which, you know, so far they've got, I think, one or two areas that do it.

00:15:38.380 But I do think it's a good long-term solution because you should be able to do that, right?

00:15:42.760 Like if I want to say, like, you know what, the Constitution Party is really the party I really like, but obviously they're going to get 0.1%, so I'd rather go with the Republican Party.

00:15:51.960 Or, you know what, you could be like, hey, I really want to vote for the Socialist Workers Party, but they're really not going to win, so if I don't get that, then I can have the Democrat.

00:16:00.480 And that would make sense.

00:16:01.360 It would also inform people of, you know, what are the flavors here, right?

00:16:05.580 Like you've got different flavors to choose from.

00:16:07.840 You can pick what's the actual, maybe there is an appetite for socialism.

00:16:11.320 Who knows?

00:16:11.780 We're seeing it right now.

00:16:13.080 Who knew?

00:16:14.000 I know the Democrats didn't seem to think this.

00:16:16.240 They used to say the era of big government is over.

00:16:19.040 They used to not co-sponsor Medicare for all.

00:16:22.080 Right.

00:16:22.380 Now they all think socialism's the way to go.

00:16:24.140 Well, when Obamacare was proposed, we were told, we're not going to go to single-payer.

00:16:29.580 That's nothing like what we're talking about.

00:16:31.400 No.

00:16:31.900 Wasn't it the lie of the year one year?

00:16:33.820 Yeah, I think it was. 0.99

00:16:34.480 I think it was from PolitiFact saying that if you think that single-payer is part of this, that you're nuts.

00:16:39.400 Well, of course, it's the long-term plan, clearly.

00:16:41.900 You know, the architect of Obamacare said so.

00:16:45.100 Well, it's not a Trojan horse, is it?

00:16:47.000 It's just right there.

00:16:48.220 I'm telling you.

00:16:49.020 I'm telling you we're going to single-payer.

00:16:50.760 Well, that happened a lot sooner, I think, than anybody imagined it could.

00:16:57.200 Because just, you know, what are we, eight years later, they start saying, yeah, I'm for universal single-payer health care.

00:17:04.400 It's incredible.

00:17:05.000 And they all are.

00:17:05.660 They're all running against Obamacare.

00:17:08.380 Virtually all of them. 0.98

00:17:09.360 They're all saying, you know what sucks? 0.95

00:17:11.220 Obamacare. 0.78

00:17:11.940 And that's why we need Medicare for all.

00:17:13.840 Or, I mean, even the thing that, you know, probably the most friendly to Obamacare has been Biden.

00:17:19.820 Obviously, he was in a big role in trying to pass that.

00:17:23.580 But even he says, we need to fix this because of X, Y, and Z.

00:17:26.960 You know, we need a public option.

00:17:28.940 We need to massively expand what we did then.

00:17:30.900 Why?

00:17:31.240 I thought it was perfect.

00:17:31.360 They're all saying what they did then didn't work.

00:17:33.200 Yeah.

00:17:34.160 But you told us this was the solution.

00:17:38.040 And here you are running against it.

00:17:42.060 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:50.460 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:53.400 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:17:58.000 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:18:01.860 Michael Bloomberg had a quite a busy weekend.

00:18:05.620 Actually, I'm not positive where he first began singing and dancing.

00:18:09.900 When did that?

00:18:10.820 I'm not sure when that occurred.

00:18:13.080 But the video of the singing and dancing from Michael Bloomberg just started springing up on the Internet.

00:18:20.480 And Pat, you know, he was in a musical.

00:18:22.340 Yeah.

00:18:22.840 And see, New York City, one way of abbreviating that would be NYC.

00:18:29.040 Now, if you were to be super duper clever, you might recognize that the C, it stands for city, could also stand for the C.

00:18:42.120 The C, S-E-A. 0.96

00:18:43.240 So, if you were to do an underwater musical called NYC, it would be a very good move for the rest of your life.

00:18:52.860 Wouldn't it?

00:18:53.560 It would.

00:18:54.720 And Michael is finding that out.

00:18:56.560 And I want my next president to be good in a Broadway musical.

00:19:03.380 Me too.

00:19:03.840 That's the main thing I'm looking for.

00:19:05.560 And I think this goes beyond good.

00:19:07.620 I mean, he's great in this.

00:19:09.160 Watch.

00:19:10.020 Michael Bloomberg in a fish outfit.

00:19:12.520 No, that's not him.

00:19:21.340 But he's arm in arm with, I guess, the lobster.

00:19:26.720 He's sort of dancing, but not sort of.

00:19:33.000 Okay.

00:19:33.460 Then we get a little dance scene.

00:19:35.260 Lobster walks away.

00:19:36.640 Now turns back to the fish.

00:19:38.060 And here comes Mike.

00:19:38.700 Up there we got big bedbugs.

00:19:42.760 Big bedbugs.

00:19:43.460 Down here the waves making trouble.

00:19:45.660 Up there A-Rod's taking drugs.

00:19:48.320 New Yorker's the bravest people.

00:19:50.940 The cops on the big daycare.

00:19:53.460 It's true firefighters teach us.

00:19:56.040 We got heroes everywhere.

00:19:58.840 Oh my God.

00:19:59.880 Oh man, that is, that's painful.

00:20:02.760 That's painfully bad.

00:20:05.600 Not only should Michael Bloomberg's campaign be over,

00:20:07.760 we should shut down Broadway over that. 0.90

00:20:11.160 If that happened on Broadway, yes.

00:20:13.060 Yes.

00:20:13.460 Because you can hear the guy who's,

00:20:14.760 the lobster guy who's singing, like,

00:20:16.560 can, you know, he can sing, I guess.

00:20:18.620 And you can tell he's very Broadway.

00:20:21.920 The Bloomberg part of it is so bad.

00:20:24.200 He's like way off time.

00:20:26.120 And not only off key and can't sing,

00:20:27.800 but he doesn't even know what time to come in.

00:20:30.080 Right.

00:20:30.400 He has no idea.

00:20:31.160 He's trying to be funny with an A-Rod drug joke.

00:20:35.940 So bad.

00:20:37.760 And then there's this.

00:20:40.700 Is this the same play just later on?

00:20:43.380 Or is this a separate Broadway musical?

00:20:46.440 I think that it's the same play.

00:20:47.960 I think it's the same play.

00:20:49.460 Later in the play, he's not a fish anymore.

00:20:52.700 Now he's like a Mary Poppins character.

00:20:55.340 And he's got an umbrella.

00:20:57.160 And watch what happens here.

00:20:58.740 Maybe this is a different play.

00:21:02.320 I'll tell you where I'm going.

00:21:05.100 Ugh.

00:21:06.160 Ugh.

00:21:07.480 Wow, that's...

00:21:08.360 First, Iowa.

00:21:10.000 Then, New Hampshire.

00:21:11.980 Maybe I can get the whole country to behave.

00:21:15.200 And he's lifted up and he floats away.

00:21:19.360 With everybody waving goodbye to him.

00:21:22.220 That's great.

00:21:23.740 Oh, great.

00:21:24.460 It'll be fun to eventually be in that point where we can wave goodbye to him.

00:21:27.920 Yes.

00:21:30.420 Wow.

00:21:31.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:21:32.880 It's so cringeworthy.

00:21:33.880 Why do the politicians do this? 0.72

00:21:35.160 I don't know.

00:21:36.040 I really don't know.

00:21:36.880 I think that this is going to make me relatable.

00:21:39.080 I think if I do this, people will think I'm funny.

00:21:42.320 And then it'll be okay.

00:21:44.380 They'll love it.

00:21:45.360 At the end of the day, they'll just remember me as the guy who just has fun with things.

00:21:48.640 There's just a guy who just wants to jump in.

00:21:50.220 I don't take myself too seriously.

00:21:51.560 I don't.

00:21:52.420 I don't.

00:21:52.800 Look, I'm in a play with a lobster.

00:21:55.320 How could I possibly take myself seriously?

00:21:57.320 I'm not afraid to be arm-in-arm with a man.

00:22:00.080 That shows you how inclusive I am.

00:22:03.360 That's me.

00:22:04.520 That's Mr. Inclusive is what I am.

00:22:06.680 Mr. Inclusive.

00:22:07.800 And they try to do these things.

00:22:09.440 And look, every politician has participated in nonsense like this at one time or another.

00:22:14.940 I mean, you go back to the clip with Trump and Giuliani.

00:22:20.980 Were they both dressed as women?

00:22:22.660 I don't know. 1.00

00:22:23.780 All of these things are just so ridiculous. 0.93

00:22:25.800 They exist for everybody. 0.95

00:22:26.860 It's never a good call, though.

00:22:28.620 No.

00:22:28.940 There's never a moment where you're like, you know what?

00:22:30.300 That worked out well.

00:22:31.440 Is there nobody around you that says, Mike, no.

00:22:35.000 This isn't a good idea.

00:22:36.620 Don't do this.

00:22:37.600 Don't do this.

00:22:38.200 Don't do this to yourself.

00:22:39.660 You're a billionaire, Mike.

00:22:41.400 You're the type of person who can buy your way out of situations like this.

00:22:44.680 All right.

00:22:45.380 Just don't do it.

00:22:46.240 Is everybody around him a yes man?

00:22:49.880 It must be.

00:22:51.200 It must be.

00:22:51.720 Because nobody warned him off it.

00:22:54.520 Nobody warned him off this particular discussion either where he is talking about death panels.

00:23:04.640 This is a little different setting.

00:23:06.200 He's not on Broadway in this particular instance.

00:23:08.140 Are you sure?

00:23:08.820 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

00:23:09.660 I'm pretty sure this is.

00:23:10.680 This is him where he's denying health care to the elderly.

00:23:12.880 Yeah.

00:23:13.400 It's always good.

00:23:14.600 Listen.

00:23:14.800 All of these costs keep going up.

00:23:17.000 Nobody wants to pay any more money.

00:23:19.140 And at the rate we're going, health care is going to bankrupt us.

00:23:22.220 So not only do we have a problem, it's going to bankrupt us.

00:23:25.400 And we've got to sit here and say which things we're going to do and which things we're not.

00:23:29.420 Nobody wants to do that.

00:23:31.360 You know, if you show up with prostate cancer at 95 years old, we should say, go and enjoy.

00:23:38.540 Have a nice day.

00:23:39.320 Lead a long life. 1.00

00:23:40.480 Go home and die, sir. 1.00

00:23:41.520 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:42.140 And you can't do it.

00:23:42.980 If you're a young person, we should do something about it. 1.00

00:23:45.340 If you're young.

00:23:46.020 Society's not willing to do that yet.

00:23:47.900 Huh.

00:23:48.480 Yeah, so if you're old, we're going to tell you, go have fun. 1.00

00:23:51.360 Enjoy yourself while you die. 0.99

00:23:52.580 Enjoy your rectal cancer. 0.99

00:23:54.180 You're going to love it. 0.95

00:23:55.120 It's fantastic.

00:23:55.360 It's going to be great.

00:23:56.140 It really will.

00:23:57.480 Basically, a giant party for you is what it is.

00:24:00.400 Have a great time with it.

00:24:01.620 You may have heard bad things about it, but don't believe any of that.

00:24:04.340 No. 0.99

00:24:04.440 Just go home and have fun, and then you'll be dead. 0.98

00:24:07.640 We won't have to worry about you. 0.98

00:24:08.840 Prostate cancer, it's a joy.

00:24:12.020 And you should really, I mean, you should uniquely, it's uniquely wonderful.

00:24:17.400 That doesn't seem that great to me.

00:24:18.700 No, it doesn't.

00:24:19.760 But there's a, wow.

00:24:22.480 This is a very standard argument by many, not even just the left, where the idea is,

00:24:29.460 yeah, you're too old, you don't deserve the care.

00:24:31.380 I know, I don't tend to ascribe to that.

00:24:34.280 It seems like a bad idea to do this.

00:24:40.140 It's the culture of death in the Democrat Party.

00:24:43.100 They don't care.

00:24:44.160 This is only true if you have left-wing healthcare ideas that are implemented.

00:24:51.080 Because, yes, then you have to ration.

00:24:52.780 You can't give people the care that they need.

00:24:55.240 You have to come up with some line where you say, all right, well, how about old people? 0.88

00:24:59.480 They don't get it.

00:25:00.620 Or how about, I mean, go back in history, you'd find other examples.

00:25:05.500 They would say, this color doesn't get it, or this sexual preference doesn't get it, or whatever it is.

00:25:10.440 Or this able-bodied person isn't as able-bodied as other people. 0.94

00:25:14.940 And so, you know, they can go off and die, too, and enjoy it. 0.94

00:25:18.360 Enjoy that. 0.95

00:25:20.220 This is not a rare, this is not a Michael Bloomberg thing.

00:25:22.760 This is a progressive thing.

00:25:24.700 This is, we can't afford to.

00:25:26.880 It goes back to eugenics, really. 0.72

00:25:29.400 Yeah.

00:25:30.420 It's survival of the fittest.

00:25:32.000 Right.

00:25:32.340 Right.

00:25:32.540 They somehow try to make that, oh, well, that is a, that's a Republican thing, this social Darwinism.

00:25:40.440 That's a Republican thing.

00:25:43.080 It's like, is it?

00:25:44.100 Really?

00:25:44.700 No.

00:25:45.160 Seems like they're the ones who are applying it all the time.

00:25:49.320 I don't know.

00:25:49.620 I mean, you know, conservatives like merit.

00:25:52.200 And if you want to say merit is social Darwinism, sure, you can say that if you want.

00:25:56.400 It's not real.

00:25:57.100 It's not true.

00:25:58.340 But you can say it.

00:25:59.940 This is a situation where you don't even get a chance.

00:26:02.600 Right.

00:26:02.800 You're 95 years old.

00:26:03.700 You have a certain kind of cancer.

00:26:04.660 No treatment.

00:26:05.480 Why?

00:26:06.620 Well, you know, it's true when you make private health care illegal, you can say all sorts of things like that.

00:26:12.200 By the way, where is that cutoff with you're too old?

00:26:14.820 Is it 70?

00:26:15.960 Is it 75?

00:26:16.960 Is it 80?

00:26:17.520 It's whatever age Michael Bloomberg is, right?

00:26:19.480 It's one day older than him.

00:26:21.140 Everyone can die.

00:26:22.100 That's for sure.

00:26:22.800 But he gets to do whatever he needs to do.

00:26:24.800 All right.

00:26:25.120 He had even more to say this weekend.

00:26:27.280 It was a busy one for him.

00:26:28.200 We'll get to that in 60 seconds.

00:26:30.000 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program talking about Michael Bloomberg and the weekend he had, the wonderful weekend.

00:26:39.060 He was talking about farming.

00:26:42.180 This is amazing, too.

00:26:43.960 If this guy isn't one of the biggest elitists you have ever seen, and what I think he believes is that he's so far above the rest of us,

00:26:53.680 he's so much better than we are, that he just believes he can pontificate on whatever topic and just make people understand what the real deal is.

00:27:04.580 Like, you don't understand that you can't drink more than 16 ounces of a soft drink.

00:27:10.940 I need to legislate that for you because I'm way above you.

00:27:15.340 You don't need salt, and I'm going to ban that for you so that you don't kill yourself.

00:27:20.300 Even the poor need to be taxed more so they have less money to buy food because they buy food and eat food that isn't good for them.

00:27:29.040 Wow.

00:27:29.760 Okay.

00:27:30.140 And now we find out some of his thoughts on farmers and farming.

00:27:36.040 Anybody, even people in this room, so no offense intended, to be a farmer.

00:27:40.880 It's a process.

00:27:41.520 You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.

00:27:45.920 Then we had 300, you could learn that.

00:27:47.480 Then you have 300 years of the industrial society.

00:27:51.280 You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow, and you can have a job.

00:27:56.940 And we created a lot of jobs.

00:27:58.900 At 1.98% of the world worked in agriculture today.

00:28:04.040 It's 2% in the United States.

00:28:06.380 Now comes the information economy.

00:28:09.020 And the information economy is fundamentally different because it's built around replacing people with technology.

00:28:18.980 And the skill sets that you have to learn are how to think and analyze.

00:28:24.320 Oh, I see.

00:28:24.740 And that is a whole degree level different.

00:28:29.860 You have to have a different skill set.

00:28:31.820 You have to have a lot more gray matter.

00:28:34.100 You've got to be smarter.

00:28:35.900 You have to have gray matter.

00:28:37.000 You have to be smarter than farmers and people who work in factories.

00:28:41.620 Farmers.

00:28:42.500 Yuck.

00:28:43.100 I scrape them off my shoe is what I do with farmers. 0.64

00:28:46.100 I scrape them right off my shoe. 0.99

00:28:47.660 Disgusting. 1.00

00:28:48.280 They're disgusting people who feed us. 1.00

00:28:51.680 It's so easy. 1.00

00:28:53.380 You put a seed into the ground.

00:28:55.360 You put some dirt on it, and you water it.

00:28:57.840 Up comes corn.

00:28:58.880 Is there anything to it?

00:29:00.040 I don't know.

00:29:00.640 If there is, I don't know what it is.

00:29:02.020 There's nothing to it.

00:29:02.800 You put a little dirt on there.

00:29:04.060 You put a little water on there.

00:29:05.080 And what pops up?

00:29:06.260 I mean, every fruit and vegetable you could ever want.

00:29:09.060 Yes.

00:29:09.620 Enough to feed the world.

00:29:10.840 Right.

00:29:11.860 You know, one of the reasons why 98% of people used to be in agriculture and only 2% are is

00:29:17.620 because the people doing it are so good at it.

00:29:20.820 Right?

00:29:21.360 Right.

00:29:21.700 Yes, you can plant a garden out in front of your house.

00:29:24.940 I know a lot of people do that.

00:29:27.160 It's dang hard to get anything to work in your garden.

00:29:31.000 Now we're talking about yield percentages and how you can get the maximum amount of crops

00:29:37.980 out of a very small amount of area.

00:29:41.920 And the technology is applied there.

00:29:46.140 I mean, you've got tractors or GPSs that are running by themselves.

00:29:50.720 I mean, this is incredible technology.

00:29:52.660 You have to be brilliant to get anything to happen.

00:29:54.500 I couldn't get a freaking thing to come out of the ground.

00:29:56.720 My life depended on it.

00:29:57.840 Nope.

00:29:58.860 Like, unless someone drops the thing at the grocery store on the ground, it's the only

00:30:04.660 time I'm getting food off of the ground.

00:30:06.900 That's it.

00:30:08.020 I have no hope.

00:30:09.880 If it's out of the produce aisle, it doesn't come into my home.

00:30:13.480 But does his elitism show here or what? 1.00

00:30:16.420 I mean, farmers are stupid. 1.00

00:30:18.720 Factory workers are stupid. 1.00

00:30:20.180 But to do things like I do, oh, you've got to be smart. 1.00

00:30:23.060 Oh, yeah.

00:30:23.420 And of course I am.

00:30:25.440 And that's why I'm going to be president and tell you what to do.

00:30:28.220 The information economy is where all the smart people are.

00:30:30.580 I mean, you know, look, sure, farmers can feed the world.

00:30:34.800 But can they get someone to tweet a cat video?

00:30:37.480 And the answer to that is no.

00:30:38.440 The answer to that is no.

00:30:39.060 Probably not.

00:30:39.280 Yeah. 1.00

00:30:39.760 Pathetic. 1.00

00:30:40.520 These people can't even tweet a meme. 1.00

00:30:44.260 Pathetic. 1.00

00:30:44.460 They can't do it. 1.00

00:30:45.120 But sure, they can give you thousands of varieties of fruits and vegetables.

00:30:50.060 They can give you all the meat that you need.

00:30:52.040 Right.

00:30:52.260 They can give you all.

00:30:53.140 But can they screw up an election in Iowa?

00:30:54.760 No.

00:30:55.040 No.

00:30:55.400 They can't do it.

00:30:55.960 They can't.

00:30:56.540 They can't do it. 1.00

00:30:57.020 If they ran it, it probably would work, those losers. 0.98

00:31:00.960 It's really incredible to see it in action. 0.97

00:31:03.220 And this is him all the time.

00:31:05.800 And we keep saying he had a bad weekend.

00:31:08.320 He didn't have a bad weekend.

00:31:09.100 None of these things happened this weekend.

00:31:10.880 These things have all happened in the past.

00:31:12.820 And it's just the very beginning.

00:31:13.460 They're just coming to light now?

00:31:14.580 Yeah, it's the very beginning of the opposition research that's coming on Bloomberg because

00:31:17.880 they're starting to take him seriously.

00:31:19.480 I mean, he's showing up at 15% and 18% in some of these national polls.

00:31:22.380 He's leading in some of these Super Tuesday states.

00:31:25.780 I think Florida is one of them.

00:31:26.920 Yeah.

00:31:27.640 I mean, he's got, he has put himself in a position to have a shot at winning.

00:31:32.480 And people like to say, oh, he's buying the election.

00:31:34.880 No person, he is, no person is forced to vote for him, nor is he paying anybody individually.

00:31:43.840 He's running ads saying, this is what I believe, this is who I am.

00:31:48.220 And people can either choose to believe it or not.

00:31:51.160 Tom Steyer is also spending a lot of money and no one's voting for him outside of two

00:31:54.480 states. 0.90

00:31:56.000 You know, this idea that you can buy an election is ridiculous. 0.57

00:31:58.760 What you can do, though, is get yourself heard.

00:32:00.940 You know, it's like the idea of the New York Yankees where the Yankees can spend a zillion

00:32:05.200 dollars every single year and make themselves, at least give themselves a chance to compete.

00:32:09.820 It's been a long time since they won a World Series, though.

00:32:11.540 Was it 96?

00:32:13.980 It's been a long time.

00:32:15.180 Yeah, it's been a long time.

00:32:16.560 It's been a long freaking time.

00:32:17.600 Might be around 96.

00:32:19.160 And so it doesn't mean you automatically can buy an election, but you can at least get your

00:32:23.340 voice heard.

00:32:24.660 You can at least be considered.

00:32:26.700 Also, something else that popped up apparently in the opposition research.

00:32:30.540 In 1990, the employees compiled a nice little booklet containing a lot of Michael Bloomberg's

00:32:37.740 quotes.

00:32:38.540 No doubt, Stu just pissed off every Yankee fan on the planet.

00:32:42.340 Minor correction here.

00:32:43.280 I forgot about a few World Series.

00:32:44.540 And honestly, they should all be deleted from history.

00:32:46.680 The Yankees won them.

00:32:47.660 But 2009, they did win the World Series, which I had forgotten about against the Phillies.

00:32:51.720 Okay, so just 1996 and 2009.

00:32:54.400 And then they did win three consecutively between 1998 and 2000. 0.97

00:32:57.540 But all those sucked.

00:32:59.540 So you're saying 96, 98, 99, 2000, and then 2009.

00:33:06.020 Yeah, I mean, if we're going to give myself a little bit of a break here, I kind of, I

00:33:10.060 was remembering the 1996 grouping.

00:33:12.520 I knew they won.

00:33:13.120 I thought 96 was the last year, but it was actually the first year.

00:33:15.980 Yeah.

00:33:16.260 Well, they hadn't won for a very long time before that.

00:33:18.660 And then they came back and started winning World Series.

00:33:21.580 And I was thinking 96 was the end.

00:33:22.880 It was actually the beginning.

00:33:23.600 So they won those four within like five years.

00:33:25.760 And then I did totally forget about 2009, though.

00:33:29.020 And look, it should be removed.

00:33:31.640 I don't know what cheating scandal they actually were involved in in that year.

00:33:35.820 But you know, well, actually, we do know.

00:33:37.340 It was A-Rod.

00:33:38.280 Well, yeah.

00:33:38.880 We actually do know what cheating scandal they were involved in. 0.83

00:33:41.480 And it was significant.

00:33:42.540 So there we go.

00:33:44.040 So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

00:33:47.040 In 1990, employees at Bloomberg LP gave their boss, this is beautiful, presidential candidate,

00:33:52.620 former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, a booklet containing notable quotes they said

00:33:58.840 were attributed to him over the years as a gag birthday gift.

00:34:01.960 So this was obviously something that didn't hack him off.

00:34:05.000 This was something he was probably fairly proud of.

00:34:08.260 The booklet was called The Portable Bloomberg, The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg.

00:34:13.700 And it's a compendium of sexist, crude, and off-color remarks that Bloomberg employees heard him make.

00:34:23.200 Including, if women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they'd go to the library instead of Bloomingdale's. 1.00

00:34:32.020 That's nice.

00:34:33.240 That's nice.

00:34:34.000 That's how you win friends and influence people, especially women. 0.99

00:34:37.120 The problem with going through this list is we really can't hit a lot of these things.

00:34:41.460 But they're very, very offensive.

00:34:42.900 On computers, he had some pretty sexual interesting things to say that are sexist.

00:34:52.120 Well, on many topics, marriage, capitalism, salesmanship, and all of it really unrepeatable on the radio. 1.00

00:35:02.440 But this guy is just a buffoon, and he's a sexist pig. 0.99

00:35:07.660 His denial is fantastic on this one, though. 1.00

00:35:09.500 Because they gave this, his employees, as a loving gift, said, hey, look, you remember all those sexist jokes you made?

00:35:15.200 They're hilarious.

00:35:16.180 This is all funny for you.

00:35:17.180 Happy birthday!

00:35:18.080 Here's your wit and wisdom.

00:35:19.400 Mm-hmm.

00:35:19.800 And, of course, he, at the time, was, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:35:22.440 It was great.

00:35:22.820 Now he's saying he denies the things that he said, or were attributed to him in this document.

00:35:30.360 However, he has said things that are against his values.

00:35:34.480 Now, we're not going to tell you what those things are.

00:35:36.660 We're just going to tell you that they're not the things in this book.

00:35:38.800 Now, he did say the things very similar that were in this book, but not those exact things.

00:35:46.300 Not these things.

00:35:47.060 Kind of like he said them.

00:35:48.940 Sure, he said the exact things that were in the book, but the things that were in the book were not the things he said.

00:35:54.420 No.

00:35:54.720 No.

00:35:55.060 Right.

00:35:55.420 Not at all.

00:35:55.980 And he does not have those values, or the values prescribed to him in that sort of book.

00:36:01.580 And, of course, he's got to skirt it like this, because he's got, you know, a thousand witnesses, the employees themselves, who put all this together, and then gave it to him, and everybody saw all of that.

00:36:13.640 Pretty hard to deny.

00:36:14.580 Pretty hard to deny.

00:36:15.420 And a lot of these are older.

00:36:17.400 I mean, he said to a reporter within the last few years, you know, as a woman walked by in a tight dress, look at the, he didn't say butt, but look at the butt on her. 0.98

00:36:26.340 Like he's in Dumb and Dumber. 0.89

00:36:28.480 And it said in front of a reporter, and they're like, in the middle of a profile.

00:36:34.660 And then, of course, he just comes out later and denies it, right?

00:36:36.940 Yeah.

00:36:37.260 Because that's what he does.

00:36:38.720 But this is going to be a huge problem for him, obviously.

00:36:41.980 And it's just beginning.

00:36:46.080 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:55.980 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:37:00.320 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:37:04.300 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:37:19.680 Thanks.

00:37:20.200 I'm wondering, is there now an official quarantine on Michael Avenatti from the press?

00:37:26.260 I hope so.

00:37:26.820 Because there was a long time in which all they could do was touch him.

00:37:30.040 All they could do was stick their tongue in his mouth. 0.99

00:37:32.700 Yes. 0.98

00:37:32.980 And now, they seemingly have discovered, maybe this guy is a fraud.

00:37:39.440 What?

00:37:40.820 Where did that come from?

00:37:42.600 And it's interesting because now, he had the stretch of the, he was the exalted one.

00:37:49.080 Michael Avenatti was the savior of our planet and our country.

00:37:52.500 Then he went into a phase where, this seems a little weird.

00:37:55.600 What's going on with this guy?

00:37:56.900 And he wasn't on as much.

00:37:58.620 And they wouldn't really book him.

00:37:59.540 And now, he's been convicted and he is going to go to prison over this whole Nike shakedown thing he attempted.

00:38:07.020 Which, you know, it's interesting because looking back, Avenatti, no matter what side you're looking at, you can look at Avenatti as the bad guy.

00:38:16.720 I mean, because if you are a person who likes Trump, Avenatti's taking these unfair shots at Trump.

00:38:21.720 If you're a person who likes Stormy Daniels and you don't like Trump, I mean, Avenatti seemingly screwed over Stormy Daniels too.

00:38:28.660 She says so.

00:38:30.160 Yeah, she says so.

00:38:31.360 And it's hard to feel bad for her or, honestly, anybody involved in this at this point.

00:38:36.300 It's just a mess.

00:38:37.260 But it's like, he seemingly tried to take advantage of every single person he interacted with.

00:38:42.600 And it was a lot of people.

00:38:43.820 And he was basically presented as a one-man wrecking crew to take down this evil Trump administration.

00:38:53.040 And he was going to do it.

00:38:54.040 If he wasn't going to do it through this case, he was going to do it by running for president and winning.

00:38:57.240 Listen to this.

00:38:59.160 This is an incredible montage.

00:39:01.460 Washington Freebie can put this together.

00:39:03.640 Listen to some of just how much they loved this man.

00:39:08.920 If we all could find a relationship where we were loved as much as the media loved Michael Avenatti, we would all be happy.

00:39:16.100 We'd be thrilled with life.

00:39:18.220 Here is the montage of Michael Avenatti in the mainstream press.

00:39:22.140 He's Donald Trump's worst nightmare.

00:39:24.520 Michael Avenatti.

00:39:25.280 Joining us once again is Michael Avenatti.

00:39:27.200 Let's bring in Michael Avenatti.

00:39:28.380 Michael Avenatti.

00:39:29.000 Michael Avenatti.

00:39:29.800 Michael Avenatti, thank you very much.

00:39:31.480 He's out there saving the country.

00:39:33.060 Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the republic.

00:39:35.360 You are something of a folk hero now.

00:39:37.580 I owe Michael Avenatti an apology.

00:39:39.780 I've been saying enough already, Michael.

00:39:41.320 I've seen you everywhere.

00:39:42.340 What do you have left to say?

00:39:43.940 I was wrong, brother.

00:39:44.840 You have a lot to say.

00:39:46.540 I am just dying to hear what you think.

00:39:49.840 These people all like you.

00:39:50.760 I'm the only person right here, Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller.

00:39:55.140 We think you guys are the tip of the spear that's going to take down Donald Trump. 0.79

00:39:59.680 Michael Avenatti's a beast.

00:40:01.280 Okay, that's true. 0.99

00:40:02.340 And he's a beast. 0.99

00:40:03.440 He's a beast. 0.99

00:40:04.060 I hand it to her. 0.99

00:40:05.320 And I hand it to Michael Avenatti.

00:40:06.800 But he has a bigger calling here, that being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's

00:40:11.480 doing.

00:40:11.820 No one has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti.

00:40:17.660 And Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name.

00:40:20.880 That's fascinating.

00:40:21.900 Donald Trump is terrified of Michael Avenatti.

00:40:24.940 He gets Trump a run for his money more than anybody else, Michael Avenatti.

00:40:27.840 An existential threat to the Trump presidency.

00:40:30.340 The Democrats could learn something for you.

00:40:32.180 You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are.

00:40:34.760 He has no doubt created sheer panic in Donald Trump's very fragile mind.

00:40:40.580 Michael Avenatti is laying down the law as guest co-host.

00:40:44.760 And is he really thinking about running for president?

00:40:47.860 One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on

00:40:51.680 cable news.

00:40:52.280 You look at the field of Democrats right now and Avenatti's the one who stands out.

00:40:55.640 If they decide they value a fighter most, people would be foolish to underestimate Michael 0.58

00:41:00.560 Avenatti.

00:41:01.060 I have always said that they need a fighter.

00:41:02.720 Look, I mean, we're going to continue to use the media.

00:41:05.040 I think we've used it with great success.

00:41:06.820 Oh, yeah.

00:41:07.360 No doubt about that.

00:41:08.520 Oh, I love it.

00:41:09.420 That's incredible.

00:41:10.440 Oh, my gosh.

00:41:11.940 Just a sampling of how much they absolutely gave this man who essentially walked off the

00:41:18.420 street as a no-name with an accusation against the president of the United States.

00:41:23.760 And they treated him as if he was the ultimate truth teller.

00:41:29.420 Yeah.

00:41:30.160 Immediately.

00:41:30.920 Yeah.

00:41:31.220 Put him on every show.

00:41:32.600 Treated him seriously.

00:41:33.580 Took his claims seriously.

00:41:34.920 Acted as if he was making progress.

00:41:36.580 When, you know, what do you think Trump was panicked about?

00:41:38.420 Michael Avenatti was laughing about it.

00:41:40.140 I mean, what do you think about this?

00:41:41.660 Look, take a step back from how you feel about the Trump issue here with Avenatti and Stormy

00:41:47.540 Daniels and all that.

00:41:48.640 Let's just say all of it is true and Trump really acted poorly and he was a terrible

00:41:53.620 guy and he should be impeached for that.

00:41:57.580 What a terrible disservice to those claims to have Michael Avenatti involved in them.

00:42:03.520 And one of the reasons why it's easy to dismiss all of these claims is because Michael Avenatti

00:42:08.820 is the one bringing them to you.

00:42:09.940 How could you possibly believe this man?

00:42:12.600 Anything he says, you have to assume is a lie.

00:42:16.500 And then he steps down from this whole thing where he gets all this media attention and

00:42:21.440 starts shaking down Nike for tens of millions of dollars, which is not a good move.

00:42:26.580 No, he's going to pay for that with a little prison term, apparently.

00:42:30.940 It almost seems like, Pat, he got to a point in his life where he was like, look, I'm really

00:42:34.380 in debt.

00:42:35.200 I got nothing going on.

00:42:36.760 I'm not going to be able to make this work.

00:42:38.860 What if I just go media crazy and try to make it into a big deal?

00:42:41.940 And then maybe the attention will drive more cash and I can pass it almost like a Ponzi

00:42:46.000 scheme.

00:42:46.360 Like I can pay off all my old stuff with all this new stuff.

00:42:49.200 I mean, it's at least possible.

00:42:50.880 Yeah, maybe.
