00:01:19.980 in a moment of hypocrisy for the ages we'll get into that there is a new poll about abortion that

00:01:25.640 shows the media has been misreporting this the entire time and we get the important words of

00:01:30.960 deborah messing now normally you might just say i don't want to hear her words she's an idiot which

00:01:35.080 is true that is 100 factual however you will love this story because it's all about how celebrities

00:01:40.120 and democrats and activists are turning on the biden administration and it is delicious

00:01:45.420 not as delicious as keksi cookies pat yes they that's right keksi.com if you want the most

00:01:53.500 delicious cookie ever in the face of the planet uh keksi.com keksi.com here's the podcast

00:02:00.240 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:02:10.400 well laurie lightfoot the mayor of uh chicago is so profound and such a peacemaker uh i've noticed

00:02:22.200 that too yeah and attractive physically beautiful yeah and you really feel that way because you've

00:02:30.340 brought it up several times have i now yeah because i you know it's the first thing that hits my brain

00:02:35.340 when i think of laurie lightfoot okay and sometimes i just blurt it out i hadn't realized that i had

00:02:41.280 already said it so i apologize for that no that's all right i mean you feel strongly obviously you feel

00:02:45.360 strongly about it yeah i mean it's it's a bit redundant you know because i just keep saying it

00:02:49.680 but i want people to understand it's difficult to consider the the the regime uh the administration

00:02:58.420 of of of laurie lightfoot without factoring in that you know people notice right away how pretty

00:03:05.960 she is okay yeah i mean if i didn't know better uh if if i didn't realize that you're happily married

00:03:15.420 right i might think that you you got kind of a thing for i'm a bit concerned that my wife might be

00:03:20.360 listening because you know it's it's look it's difficult i'm a guy you know i'm just i'm a straight

00:03:26.660 out all american male right and you know you see someone like laurie lightfoot and you're a cis male

00:03:33.100 right you're cis i am yeah yeah i am cis male i now i was not born a cis male of course had a

00:03:38.940 transition actually i transitioned in 1989 did you but then i transitioned back oh in 1999 now it was

00:03:47.280 not i'm not saying i rejected my initial transmission transition because that would be that that's when

00:03:53.540 people do that and even if you were covered in the news you're called a hater and you get thrown out

00:03:58.460 of the media yeah so i just transitioned twice and just happened to end up in the same spot which is

00:04:04.860 just it just happenstance but you just thought you'd try it out for a decade or so and then and then you

00:04:09.840 know what no no i was born that way i was born a person that's what i forgot transitioned once and

00:04:15.660 then transitioned back yeah individually okay not retracing my steps i just decided to because of

00:04:25.240 the way i was born yeah transition back and then because of the way you were born and mainly a lot

00:04:30.720 i will say a good chunk of the reason i transitioned back was laurie lightfoot oh you know just just so

00:04:36.580 attractive well even back then in 1999 oh yeah you think she's good looking now imagine her back in

00:04:42.400 1999 i can't i can't imagine it oh i can't i can't either nor do i necessarily want to uh but anyway you

00:04:50.540 were talking about the very attractive mayor of chicago and her peacemaking ability right now she

00:04:55.680 talked about you know how toxic our discourse is right now here's what she had to say yesterday and

00:05:00.980 then we'll show you an example of what she's talking about from last week the toxicity in our

00:05:08.320 public discourse is a thing that i think we should all be concerned about it's true right and it's

00:05:13.600 ironic obviously that we're having this conversation it is what happened on independence day you know we're

00:05:19.700 not like a lot of other countries where independence their version of independence day is marked with you

00:05:27.340 you know true troops and tanks and no what we do in the united states is we come together yeah

00:05:33.900 community yeah yeah and here's her coming together last week he said thank you

00:05:39.420 clarence thomas so that's uh ironic i think is the word she used yeah that's a good word it really is

00:05:52.460 good word ironic and i might throw in hypocritical really yeah i might throw that in in what way pat

00:06:00.620 in the way that she's talking about the toxicity in our discourse after having been toxic in her

00:06:08.820 discourse just last week but if she would have handled it a little bit differently and said you

00:06:13.700 know what just last week i was saying f you to clarence thomas and i've decided that's too toxic

00:06:19.520 it'd be a little different it would be an interesting approach wouldn't it yeah you know

00:06:23.640 there is that there was something to that and politicians whether they meant it or not used to

00:06:28.400 exploit moments like that or they used to make a big deal out of it yeah you know when your side did

00:06:34.180 something wrong you call them out you know i mean not to bring up the the example that's been

00:06:39.160 brought up a million times but that social sister soldier moment of the clinton administration

00:06:44.500 where he kind of called out like uh his people who were his own supporters yeah and i think it earned

00:06:51.340 him some level of respect at that time from people across the aisle who said wait a minute thanks for

00:06:57.620 calling those idiots out and i think that there's something to that there used to be you know and

00:07:04.460 especially when you're doing it yourself you're calling out yourself for your own behavior you're right

00:07:08.620 she makes a statement she says look the toxicity is a problem now look there is no i don't like

00:07:14.240 the the state of our debate in this country and i'm a person who just told you and to show you how

00:07:21.360 much effort i've made on this i'm a conservative laurie lightfoot's a democrat and i've said nothing but

00:07:26.440 how attractive she is the entire show that is an example of coming across the aisle yeah and and

00:07:32.200 saying something positive yeah about someone on the other side so i obviously lead the way

00:07:37.400 obviously obviously obviously but like you know and i'm a person who's you know sold nancy pelosi

00:07:44.380 sucks pens right andrew cuomo is awful mugs some may say that was toxic maybe say that and i i don't

00:07:52.020 necessarily love that that's how we do things here i don't i don't think it's the greatest thing in the

00:07:56.800 world i do constantly engage in it but i don't necessarily think it's the greatest way to run a

00:08:04.560 country but there is literally no evidence whatsoever that our political toxicity has

00:08:10.780 anything to do with the shooting this person seems to be completely nuts he's got tattoos all over his

00:08:18.240 face he uh has been talking about fantasizing about and rapping about school shootings for god knows how

00:08:25.540 long this does not seem to be one of these things where he's like i just don't agree with the minimum

00:08:30.380 wage policies of this country that doesn't seem to be an example of this at all the the response

00:08:36.420 every single time especially from the left about guns after every shooting strikes me as particularly

00:08:43.420 toxic they they tend to blame uh the they put the blood on the hands of their political opponents

00:08:49.200 that's pretty toxic but i don't think that's what she's referring to here this is not an example

00:08:53.480 of some person at least as we know right now and maybe we'll find this out there has been some

00:08:59.080 rumors of some of his postings having uh some quote-unquote right wing and they you know that

00:09:05.180 encompasses everything to the to the media when someone does something bad every everything they

00:09:09.880 post is quote-unquote right wing so i don't know yet if this is accurate but it doesn't seem to be

00:09:15.020 politically motivated it seems to be random it seems to be a very troubled person doing some very

00:09:20.900 troubling things it does not seem to be a politically motivated crime no so what does our toxicity have

00:09:27.340 to do with that uh nothing nothing so what it's just like these standard talking points that the

00:09:34.480 very attractive laurie lightfoot she can be trotting out after she just violated them yeah on stage in

00:09:41.580 front of tens of thousands of people last week and how is it that you don't at least acknowledge it do

00:09:46.220 not remember what you did last week and she's done many times before uh as a matter of fact she's

00:09:52.400 contributed to the toxicity a lot i mean when the pandemic was going on she's telling everybody

00:09:58.400 hey uh stay in your house don't go anywhere you can't go to gyms you can't get your hair done

00:10:03.580 that day she goes out and gets her hair done and then when she's questioned about it she's all pissed

00:10:08.780 off well look i care about my hygiene i know the rest of us don't i will say you know obviously

00:10:16.640 obviously she cares about her hair she's very very attractive about it yeah this is a person who is

00:10:21.640 highly a specimen should be a supermodel well yeah i mean i would say she is she's a supermodel

00:10:28.160 without even trying she just walks out every day on stage auto supermodel she's on auto mode pat

00:10:33.160 and look she needs to get her hair done she needs to get her hair done you know she's not like us

00:10:38.580 pat no she's not like us or she's not like she's important yeah i don't we're just dumpy guys you

00:10:43.900 know what our hair gets cut it doesn't get cut when the pandemic happened all of our uh all of our you

00:10:49.620 know all the hair cutting places around here all the the salons and barber shops were closed and so i

00:10:55.280 sat there for months and months and months without a haircut like most people did in that period and you

00:11:01.120 know unlike most people we have to be on camera every day doing our shows studios america pat gray

00:11:06.360 unleashed and did we look a little terrible at times probably but you know what no one cared

00:11:11.260 because no one goes to us for our looks they do go to laurie lightfoot for her looks that's what

00:11:16.360 why do you know that for a fact absolutely yeah why do people move to chicago it's non-stop violence

00:11:22.080 right like why why would you go laurie lightfoot you go for laurie lightfoot yeah that's why you go

00:11:27.400 there you move to chicago specifically to view laurie lightfoot and just hope you see her

00:11:33.000 because you could view her from afar actually but i mean it's the same thing of watching the

00:11:37.480 superbowl live or on television you want to be there in person you really do and laurie lightfoot

00:11:42.580 a laurie lightfoot speech is the equivalent to the superbowl in my mind and you saw this yesterday

00:11:49.840 with her incredible points it's amazing that people like laurie lightfoot are actually in charge

00:11:55.560 of cities she has been a catastrophe right i mean is there anybody who argues with this anybody any

00:12:01.920 democrat in chicago that would argue with the fact that laurie lightfoot has been a catastrophe

00:12:05.880 yeah this is not of someone who has his now look her attractiveness aside she's not been a good mayor

00:12:12.060 no she's not look what's happened in chicago while she has been the mayor of it i mean they had the uh

00:12:19.940 what do they call it this the golden mile or the what is it called all those great shops yeah on

00:12:27.800 michigan avenue it's a great city it is a great city yeah when you're not getting shot and they

00:12:32.060 were all vandalized and they were broken into on a regular basis for the whole summer of 2020 and

00:12:38.300 and then uh she's got the shootings that happen every single day and then every weekend you've got in the

00:12:45.580 dozens of people who've been killed oftentimes killed and wounded by gunfire just normal course

00:12:52.680 of behavior over and over and over that's what's so stunning about it you know it is it's and it's

00:12:59.000 so bizarre the way that the left approaches this you know there is this constant churn of violence in

00:13:05.000 these cities who have been run by democrats for decades and decades and in some instances a half

00:13:11.460 century or more in honestly most instances now and it just keeps churning and churning and churning

00:13:18.460 no one seems to do anything about it no one seems to care about it the media doesn't seem to care about

00:13:22.780 it and you have these three giant buckets of quote-unquote gun violence which you know again

00:13:29.380 that's kind of a weird way to look at it you're seemingly blaming the tool used rather than the person

00:13:35.360 using the tool but let's go with it for a second here you have these gun violence these giant buckets

00:13:39.580 you have the gang violence that goes on uh generalized crime in these cities every single day

00:13:46.260 which is a huge chunk of the problem when you're talking about gun violence then you have another

00:13:52.180 huge chunk of the problem which is suicide about half half the half the gun deaths in this country

00:13:57.120 are suicide and you have these two huge things that the left doesn't really seem to want to do anything

00:14:01.920 about they don't care about it they never talk about it and then you have this one tiny little

00:14:07.800 fraction which obviously doesn't matter if you're involved in one of these things i mean some of the

00:14:13.660 details coming out of this highland park shooting are just heartbreaking i mean absolutely awful in

00:14:19.820 every single way and if you're involved in something like that obviously there's no way to to to make

00:14:25.700 that pain feel any better but it's like it is a when you're talking about a nation it is a very tiny

00:14:32.800 fraction of what we're talking about when we're talking about gun violence or violence overall

00:14:38.980 and just because the left believes this is the way to convince people that your gun should go away

00:14:46.420 this is how this is the one they go after all the time and you know because often there are guns that

00:14:54.060 are purchased legally much more often than than the typical murder right they go through the system they go

00:15:00.780 they pass through all of these laws uh and still are able to often get these guns where you know

00:15:07.740 the typical gun we've talked about this before the doj did a study about state and federal prisoners and

00:15:12.960 they asked them all the people who got caught for gun crimes they said hey where'd you get your gun

00:15:16.540 they did a survey of them they found that 1.3 percent of them got it through a retail purchase

00:15:22.460 1.3 percent so a lot of them were stealing them from friends uh stealing them from relative from

00:15:30.740 uh friends or relatives giving the you know gifts from friends relatives people just gave them the

00:15:36.920 guns sometimes they found them on other crime scenes sometimes they were bought off the black market

00:15:42.060 all of these other ways but none of them regulated none of them that any of these laws would actually

00:15:47.900 touch none of them i mean 1.3 so they're trying to micromanage the criminal behavior of 1.3 percent

00:15:56.360 of people who are already criminals by punishing 99.9 percent of the regular people out there that

00:16:03.360 buy guns and don't use them for the nefarious purposes it doesn't make any sense it wouldn't

00:16:08.180 make sense in any other context but here we are because of people like laurie lightfoot the very

00:16:14.960 attractive laurie lightfoot and other politicians throughout america who use these things for

00:16:19.060 their own advantage obviously pat no one could make the statement that laurie lightfoot made

00:16:23.820 yesterday with a straight face if they actually meant it right you just were on stage saying f the

00:16:31.120 supreme court justice clarence thomas and the next day you're like you know what we need is civility

00:16:36.880 come on you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:16:46.300 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program 888-727-BECK

00:17:00.060 uh yet another poll that bodes so well for uh our brain dead president joe biden he's uh he's really

00:17:10.840 not doing well in these polls i but you know here's the problem they just haven't communicated

00:17:17.880 their message well enough yet to the american people if they could just communicate what they're

00:17:23.540 trying to do to raise inflation gas prices to uh allow free flow of illegals and drugs and terrorists

00:17:32.680 across the u.s border if they could just communicate why they're doing all of these things it would be

00:17:37.460 so much better for them you think so you think putting joe biden out in front of the people more

00:17:42.460 often for him to you know fall over on a bicycle in public is that's exactly what needs to happen

00:17:47.020 yes exactly really for him to stumble and stammer and not be able to get his train of thought going

00:17:55.280 and say the wrong numbers you notice this thing with numbers he cannot give a number correctly he

00:18:03.580 can't do it it doesn't matter if it's written on a teleprompter in 80 font it doesn't matter he just

00:18:09.780 can't give you a number i don't know what the deal is with that because he can get through some things

00:18:15.440 some of the time but he can never get through numbers if he has to say them he's screwed yeah

00:18:21.120 it's weird do it there's like a mental block of some sort and i think the mental block is is is

00:18:26.720 turned from a block into a giant wall yeah uh that is impenetrable yeah because he really can't do it

00:18:33.140 now let me give you some actual numbers here joe biden all right when he started uh in office he was

00:18:38.560 around mid-50s approval rating and there's as high as like 59 wasn't he 58 or 59 the monmouth poll

00:18:45.320 i think he peaked at 54 okay but he has constantly fallen from those levels and to give you a sense

00:18:53.260 it's it's very typical for a president to start their administration in somewhat of a honeymoon

00:18:59.760 period you've heard that phrase before you get this sort of burst of everyone in america generally

00:19:04.840 speaking the american people like the country they're willing to at least give a new president

00:19:10.240 an attempt at success right like they're gonna say hey and i i'm i'm the same way like i was very

00:19:17.860 confident joe biden was going to be a terrible president now i don't know that i thought he was

00:19:21.980 gonna be this bad i thought he was just gonna be terrible i can tell you i did not think he would

00:19:26.800 be this bad i knew he was gonna be bad but there's no way you could have ever predicted how bad he would

00:19:32.100 be yeah i think i think that's true i mean i i don't know i'm trying to think of what i expected

00:19:37.220 to be different and i i didn't think the withdrawal from afghanistan would be botched as badly as it was

00:19:43.840 for instance like i didn't think inflation would be almost 10 percent or the real number being close

00:19:50.120 to 20 percent i didn't think gas prices would be 120 per barrel which they're down from that now but

00:19:55.880 120 a barrel yeah to use that and the reason why because you might say how could you not think

00:20:02.560 biden was going to be this bad here's my my two-part answer to that one is we went through

00:20:10.060 the obama administration where you have a guy who i think arguably was more committed to the ideology

00:20:18.140 than joe biden is a guy with 60 votes in the senate a filibuster proof majority who of course did

00:20:26.940 spend lots of money and launched bunch of new programs and we didn't see inflation like that

00:20:31.480 at that time right right so like you think okay biden is probably has less support in congress

00:20:38.120 is less convincing of a speaker you know obviously everyone loved obama back in the day on the left

00:20:44.840 and so you think he'd get less done and while he might be as bad as obama it might not be worse than

00:20:53.820 that secondarily i would say you know as a guy who who went through the obama administration who

00:21:00.720 was in in the in the obama administration biden was obviously a guy who was far left but never

00:21:06.420 seemed as committed to that ideology as as obama was or many people around him instead what he has

00:21:12.200 done has is try to run this as if aoc is president i mean like really he has been not only has he been a

00:21:19.460 bad incompetent president which i you know largely would have predicted pretty easily i think he has

00:21:26.260 been much farther left than even the the president he served under at least i don't know if that's

00:21:34.460 actually accurate at least he has governed that way and he's governed that way with razor thin

00:21:40.120 majorities you know he's tried to pass six trillion dollars of build back better spending with 50 senators

00:21:48.640 and then he talks about how frugal he's been they didn't get that done believable you know and he

00:21:54.780 tried to get 3.5 trillion done then he tried to get 1.8 trillion done he's tried over and over and over

00:21:59.180 he spent 1.9 trillion on covid nonsense that we did not need at that time he then got the republicans

00:22:06.920 to come along for another 1.1 trillion of infrastructure spending that we did not need uh and he's gone

00:22:12.880 through all of this and he's been while the the general direction of incompetence i think was

00:22:18.720 predictable with someone like joe biden who's never really succeeded at anything in his entire life i

00:22:23.000 mean the guy's been a complete failure at everything he's attempted in his entire life so this is what

00:22:29.360 you get when you when you select someone like that but like he has been much much more incompetent

00:22:36.440 than i could have imagined i i mean i i honestly believe if you picked a random stranger off the

00:22:42.800 street and put him in office he could not be worse than joe biden is and that's you know i mean a lot

00:22:48.100 of this might just be because at times he's completely tuned out but i i think that if that stereotype

00:22:53.960 were true all the time things would be going better you know if if he handed this off to

00:23:01.720 leftists who were generally professionalized at what they were doing you know some of these advisors

00:23:09.020 who were around him if he handed off the presidency completely to those people i think things would be

00:23:14.620 going better because at least those people would be able to do things in some relatively competent

00:23:22.000 fashion afghanistan is the perfect example of that pat we all knew the what the left wanted out of

00:23:28.580 afghanistan they wanted to get out of there as soon as possible they didn't they don't you know

00:23:32.140 they don't prioritize our defense we all know the way that they act and a lot of us were on board with

00:23:39.560 hey eventually this needs to end but like the way they did it was was just pure and utter incompetence

00:23:46.980 fueled by an ideology that blinded them from any of the downsides and that sort of thing is it's almost

00:23:53.860 impossible to predict it it's almost as if you've hired someone who's intentionally trying to destroy

00:23:59.360 the country that's what it feels like at times yes with joe biden which there's a question we ask

00:24:04.480 almost every day on on pat gray unleashed which happens immediately before the show live and then

00:24:09.540 anytime you want on on your podcast but uh if you were trying to destroy the country what would you do

00:24:16.880 differently yeah and i can't think of anything no i mean they're they've covered all the bases and then

00:24:22.260 some i mean after it's one thing to spend 1.9 trillion dollars on on stuff we didn't need when

00:24:28.120 you come into your administration almost every administration seems to get one bill like that

00:24:31.680 at the beginning like you know the stimulus plan with obama everyone seems to have that one bill

00:24:36.160 that they get passed at the beginning the tax cuts for trump like everyone gets one through it seems

00:24:40.480 they so he gets the 1.9 trillion dollars through fine like obviously it's not fine at all but like

00:24:46.660 we kind of expect that and but that was really before inflation started hitting in a noticeable

00:24:54.220 way in the statistics it was happening i think it was bubbling under you saw you know things like

00:24:59.580 cryptocurrency react to it right and have that big run um that kind of led those numbers but it didn't

00:25:06.560 lead the spending the spending was there it started obviously in 2020 with the covid stuff initially and

00:25:12.040 then once we the country had already started bouncing back people were going back to work we spent another

00:25:16.200 two trillion dollars on it so that was really the thing where democratic economists were coming out

00:25:21.980 and saying guys i'm with you on a lot of this stuff but you gotta stop right people who were in the

00:25:28.560 obama administration the treasury secretary of the in the obama administration came out and said hey

00:25:34.300 guys you do this now we're gonna have massive inflation but okay they get that through then the

00:25:39.980 inflation happens they do the infrastructure bill and then he still wants multiple trillions of dollars

00:25:47.760 of spending after we've seen the results after the inflation has happened after everybody's already

00:25:53.500 paying the price for this they still want to spend multiple trillions of dollars so there's this weird

00:25:59.960 intersection where president biden stands in the middle of every single day between complete and utter

00:26:07.120 incompetence and an odd ideological lock that's immovable by facts you know we everyone goes back

00:26:16.800 to you know chairman mau right who's like yeah look uh things aren't going so well but we just keep

00:26:22.600 pushing through you know yeah sure 10 million died uh in you know let's keep let's keep going and

00:26:28.420 eventually this will turn around and they just keep going and going and going and going and going

00:26:32.240 that sort of ideological dedication to this ridiculous spending and these terrible ideas is

00:26:41.160 fascinating from biden and then his execution of it is always terrible so those two things combine to

00:26:47.980 the lowest approval rating ever recorded from any president up until this day of the presidency this

00:26:55.840 is now he's he's surpassed trump who was the other guy who had a low approval rating and again the

00:27:02.560 asterisk is always there with trump because he started without the honeymoon period he's his his approval

00:27:07.700 rating was literally the entire time he was president never above 50 so he started much lower than these

00:27:14.960 other presidents because he came in obviously as a pretty divisive figure he just never approval rating was

00:27:21.040 never his thing right that's not how he won the presidency that's not how he governed he never he

00:27:26.040 never tried to be this like broad base hey everybody come together guy he was a guy who said look this is

00:27:33.200 what i believe and this is what i'm going to do and that's what a lot of people on the conservative

00:27:36.500 side liked about him right he just didn't he didn't care well that's not what biden ran at he's ran as

00:27:42.200 the opposite of that a guy who was supposed to bring the country together he was this big uniter he was

00:27:46.600 gonna bring everybody together so he started at 54 um by summer he was down in the mid 40s then you

00:27:53.520 had afghanistan go on he dropped down to 42 and then since the end of the year 42 40 39 39 38 and then

00:28:04.600 yet again another new low this is the monmouth poll 36 approval rating this is again lower than any other

00:28:12.360 president at this point in their presidency in recorded history going back to i believe it's

00:28:16.960 truman so pretty incredible if he could just communicate better what he's done though his

00:28:24.740 his message yeah just needs to be communicated better and then i think he'd skyrocket you do

00:28:30.100 yeah now do you think he could clear these numbers because let me give you the breakdowns by parties all

00:28:34.300 right okay three percent approval by republicans now that is three three three percent oh i've never

00:28:41.720 seen that i don't think we've ever seen that you might say that's not so good okay now i'm gonna

00:28:46.840 say right off the bat that doesn't seem good it doesn't i'm gonna allow you to believe that okay

00:28:52.200 but it's not two or one which are the other lower options or zero it could be zero percent that's a

00:28:59.560 good spin on that stew so it's three percent which is much better than the alternative zero of zero one or

00:29:05.520 two okay okay yes it's bad 50 percent higher than two now independents though must absolutely love him

00:29:15.160 they love him absolutely love him now you might say what you what in a stereotypical world what you

00:29:20.540 might get is a zero percent approval rating from republicans a hundred percent for democrats and

00:29:24.480 fifty percent from independents right that might be what you'd expect independents twenty nine percent

00:29:29.460 now that is that's catastrophic levels abysmal it's catastrophic it is a lot of these people are

00:29:36.640 democrats who just kind of say their independence like you know i i'm a registered independent

00:29:41.540 obviously i'm conservative and do not vote for democrats but i am a registered independent i'm you

00:29:47.620 know i've been that for my entire life so i would fall into the category of independent and so this is

00:29:52.680 true for both sides there's a lot of people who register as independent they're not necessarily in a party

00:29:56.700 but they have real leanings those people are included in that 29 so there's a lot of democrats

00:30:03.980 essentially in there and they they are counting in that 29 but this actually might be the most

00:30:09.500 disturbing one and it's not going to sound that bad but only 74 of democrats approve and those numbers

00:30:16.200 to give you context of that is about where nixon was among republicans when he left office wow

00:30:23.060 only about about 70 approval rating for for nixon when he left office among republicans so your party

00:30:30.760 basically doesn't abandon you right you're always going to have most of those people with you it's

00:30:35.700 impossible to get it lower not impossible i shouldn't put it past biden but it's very difficult

00:30:40.540 to get it any lower than this this is basically your bottom it's really hard to get your approval

00:30:46.020 rating down to 74 among the party that elected you that just just doesn't happen very often

00:30:51.960 and here we are at 74 you start getting that into the 60s i don't know there will be that talk

00:30:58.240 and i think a lot of it depends on what happens in this election coming up as to whether he's the

00:31:04.080 candidate in 2024 and they definitely already they don't want him yeah we should get into some

00:31:08.220 of that maybe today don't want him there's some big there's some big stories that have come out

00:31:11.080 recently on this a bunch of celebrities called the white house and they had this little call that

00:31:15.240 they've been doing where hey guys what if you guys do some tiktok videos you guys can post some

00:31:19.700 tiktok videos here's what we'd like you to say in your tiktok videos to support the administration

00:31:23.520 now this has been going on for a while but now those celebrities are like why why are we going to

00:31:28.440 do that you what are you doing for us like they're fighting back um but like if this election

00:31:35.400 goes as badly as it may for democrats you're going to see i think a real push for someone like gavin

00:31:42.040 newsom to be the candidate instead of joe biden i don't think they're going to push for kamala

00:31:46.600 no i don't think so either why because she's a black woman that's the only reason

00:31:51.640 and they're racist yeah they're racist 888-727-BECK

00:31:55.140 uh since we were just talking about our wonderful president

00:32:18.400 uh thought we'd share a little something from the past uh from joe biden this is kind of

00:32:26.160 interesting because um something was said more recently along these lines and the person who said

00:32:32.900 it was vilified demonized they still uh bring it up and it happened i don't know three or four years

00:32:42.080 ago four years ago maybe five uh joe biden back in 1993 talking about confederate flag waivers

00:32:50.720 and here's what he had to say about them as the senator made a very moving and eloquent speech

00:32:57.480 as a son of the confederacy acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position

00:33:06.920 that senator carol mosley brawn raised on the floor of the senate not granting a federal charter

00:33:16.380 to a organization made up of many fine people oh who who continue to display the confederate flag

00:33:29.500 oh my wait oh my many fine people i've heard that display the confederate flag where have i heard

00:33:36.300 that before i can't somebody else said that i'm with that exact very fine people almost exactly the

00:33:43.160 same phrase wow uh somebody just unearthed that and it started you know circulating on the internet

00:33:50.200 and uh appreciate whoever it was that sent that to us because that's incredible that is really

00:33:55.800 incredible okay wait you said the exact same thing 30 years ago and now it's the worst thing you

00:34:02.960 can possibly say and like the same thing applies to trump that applied to biden at that time which

00:34:09.080 is you know like the point was more broad than saying they're both they're a fine white supremacist

00:34:17.480 that's not what they're saying no they're saying that you know some people use that flag for i mean

00:34:22.780 look the freaking dukes of hazard use the flag right yeah it was not seen as a uh a right or wrong was

00:34:33.520 not seen as a white supremacist symbol its entire time it was seen as something as it became something

00:34:39.360 of a southern heritage symbol and like that so a lot of the people that put it up even though maybe

00:34:46.520 they should have seen it another way you could argue it but they put it up because they just you know

00:34:50.280 like the south that was it it wasn't some big you know they weren't glorifying slavery and i think

00:34:56.680 that's what biden is referring to here right like he's referring to people who didn't use it that way

00:35:01.400 no i think he's an absolute racist right which is how he's talking about white supremacy right there

00:35:05.360 exactly and this is because that's how they deal with it that's how they said it but that's what they

00:35:09.140 did with trump they acted as if they didn't understand there's this idea of plausible deniability

00:35:14.040 not is this actually what happened but can i come up with a scenario that will allow me to

00:35:21.940 convincingly argue that i think that's what he meant you know that's what's happening right now

00:35:27.280 with the january 6th stuff it's like well donald trump said he wanted people let into the area around

00:35:35.600 his speech uh even though they were armed and his what he said this is the accusation from the

00:35:42.700 testimony on the january 6th thing which i know you weren't listening to so let me recount it quickly

00:35:46.140 she said uh cassie hutch hutchinson said hey uh you know the word i got was that he said he wanted

00:35:52.980 people let in that were armed then his answer was well these people these are my people they're not

00:35:57.560 going to harm me yeah he's thinking about they're armed but they're not going to hurt anybody so so

00:36:03.020 what hey security relax these are my people they're not coming after me i think everybody that

00:36:09.180 hears him in the context of that moment with that phrasing understands what really occurred there

00:36:14.160 that that is what he's saying if it if it happened at all that he's saying look these are my people i'm

00:36:20.180 not worried about you letting them in i know you're trying to protect me but i'm not worried about that

00:36:25.140 just because they have guns does not make them dangerous i'm a guy who believes in the second

00:36:28.960 amendment everybody understands everybody i think everybody on the left understands that's what

00:36:35.280 donald trump meant with that what they are saying publicly is they he didn't care about anyone else

00:36:42.720 he didn't mind people with guns being around because they were going to go kill mike pence and and and

00:36:48.500 people in congress not him so he didn't care about them he wanted to lead them down he wanted them to be

00:36:54.280 armed because he knew they were going to target those other bad people that were trying to steal the

00:36:59.040 election from him which is bullcrap and they know it everybody knows that's not what he was saying

00:37:03.480 they're everyone yep but they have plausible deniability because they've been able to come up

00:37:08.220 with this ridiculous justification of another way he could have been thinking in that moment and then

00:37:15.900 they all act as if they actually believe that's what he meant and it's the same thing here you know

00:37:22.360 over and over again the same thing is applied the the both the good people on both sides

00:37:28.640 far fine people on both sides was an example of that they knew right after that in the speech he

00:37:35.520 said i'm not talking about the white supremacists so they knew he wasn't referring to that right but

00:37:41.080 they acted as if he was and then a bunch of dumb people down the line don't look into it and think

00:37:48.120 that's what really happened i mean that is a it's a real problem uh and it's been i would say it was

00:37:53.520 always around before donald trump but it was really brought out from the media when they tried to deal

00:37:59.660 with donald trump it set off this thing where they said well we don't have to try anymore we don't have

00:38:03.580 to act like we're trying we don't have to look like we're trying to do journalism anymore it's this is

00:38:07.700 too important there's something going on here this guy's too bad he's he's a different creature we have

00:38:12.060 to treat him differently stop acting like we're journalists just go for it and that has set that has set

00:38:18.000 that's really what they've done yeah set up a really bad series of events i i think it's really

00:38:24.640 damaged our institutions oh look trump has you know has had problems with his institutions as well it

00:38:30.780 doesn't always care about them there's no question about there have this has gone on you know this is

00:38:36.800 not just the media doing it it's everybody doing it at the same time but the media seems to lead it

00:38:41.820 because they're the ones that are supposed to be the responsible party here we all know politicians

00:38:46.620 act on their own behalf they they act in their their own best interest we we know that about

00:38:52.860 politicians the media is supposed to be the ones coming out and saying hey this is what's true and

00:38:58.540 this is what is not true they're trying to help us dissect when politicians make claims which ones

00:39:05.660 are true and which ones aren't and they've given up that responsibility they've seeded it completely

00:39:09.520 yeah i mean it's good for our business i guess because then there's someone else to call it out and

00:39:15.000 say hey this is true and this isn't but man it's not i don't think it's good for society overall

00:39:19.500 no it's i'm just one of the things that i guess we've accepted along the way is the the media

00:39:26.580 has just have flipped to a biased organization as a whole and uh and that's just the way it's going to

00:39:35.560 be now just like the democrats have flipped on certain things uh like when it comes to um

00:39:43.160 the pandemic they've completely flipped on big pharma big pharma used to be the big boogeyman there

00:39:50.680 were terrible people they were overcharging the elderly yeah they were responsible for driving

00:39:55.960 people into poverty just because they wanted to be healthy all of a sudden now they're heroes

00:40:02.760 the big pharma is it doesn't get any better so for democrats weird i mean so weird i've done this

00:40:09.020 show for 20 years plus now you've done you know radio for even longer the entire time i've done it

00:40:17.560 the democrats hated big pharmaceutical companies hated them absolutely made documentaries about how

00:40:22.800 evil they were every movie that came out was about how a pharmaceutical company was screwing people

00:40:27.940 over yes they literally hated all of them all the time and then all of the sudden they love them

00:40:34.960 all of the time yeah and honestly the same thing the opposite has happened on the other side where

00:40:39.480 i i don't know that republicans ever loved pharmaceutical companies but they certainly

00:40:43.500 were more defending i think they understood yeah that yes they charge a lot of money for their

00:40:48.300 for their product but they do a lot of great things as well research and development and almost

00:40:52.960 all of that is done here in the united states by the pharmaceuticals in america and so

00:40:58.980 yeah the price is a little higher basically every major development in modern medicine has come from

00:41:06.780 the united states and many of these companies that doesn't mean they're angels it doesn't mean they're

00:41:11.940 perfect no they have they have done plenty of stuff that they've gotten in trouble for they've literally

00:41:17.540 you know they've gone through trials and done things that are wrong and put out magic medications

00:41:23.420 that at some point have hurt people and they're all that stuff's true but they also done a lot of

00:41:27.820 really good things yeah uh and i think i'm pretty sure i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure the

00:41:33.260 correct attitude toward them is to look at them and watch them on their merits not to love them or to

00:41:40.420 hate them but just to say okay look these guys are doing a good job with this right now these guys are

00:41:46.000 doing a bad job with this right now that's kind of the sensible way it doesn't seem like the the left

00:41:51.080 just seems to be absolutely despising them for 40 years and then absolutely loving them and treating them

00:41:57.480 like their god a wholehearted embrace now what it's so weird do you ever think you'd see that day

00:42:02.820 no no absolutely not it's so strange i i don't i don't and what's even more interesting is that it

00:42:10.360 was it was trump who was working with all of these companies to bring about this vaccine

00:42:15.840 yeah he seemed to have forgotten that little aspect yeah like they ignore everything about him

00:42:22.060 yeah except this but then they don't even give him credit for that nope they act as if he had

00:42:26.420 nothing to do with it it's i i don't i just will never understand it i was doing a podcast the other

00:42:30.720 day and they were like well what do you think some of this is the how did politics you know how did

00:42:35.240 what were the things that you noticed about politics that were strange during the pandemic and

00:42:38.780 like i can't come up with a better example of that than that there's just it's this forget the

00:42:45.040 reality of it what's true and what is it for a second it's the strangest thing i've ever witnessed

00:42:49.580 in politics like the left absolutely despised everything donald trump touched yep since he came

00:42:58.620 into public view and and they told everyone in the country to not take the vaccine because

00:43:08.600 donald trump helped it he was going to force a vaccine through without the proper safety testing

00:43:14.320 andrew cuomo formed a separate council to double check donald trump's work because they were so scared

00:43:22.320 it was going to be a scam and then joe biden won the election and all of the sudden

00:43:27.620 it was the best thing that had ever existed yeah and it was perfect it was and on the other side

00:43:34.000 all of trump's supporters and not all but many of trump's supporters who stood with trump as he

00:43:40.400 campaigned on vaccine development can't stand the vaccine and never want to hear about it again

00:43:47.220 even as donald trump sits back and is like i think it was this great thing that i accomplished

00:43:51.300 they're like shut up this guy they love they don't want to hear word one about it i don't

00:43:57.580 care what is true what isn't it is the most the strangest and fastest change it is in a political

00:44:04.360 a major political science completely completely switched to the opposite side yeah it's really

00:44:10.100 legitimately fascinating to watch that happen and i i you know that will be one if if that will go

00:44:17.860 down in just this in a in a political science study for the ages no question because you realize

00:44:24.220 that people like kamala harris were telling you this was like poison as of like october 2020

00:44:32.140 and by january she was getting the jab

00:44:34.840 everything is fine now it's the best thing ever yeah and this is going to protect you you won't get

00:44:42.540 the virus if you get this in fact you're going to lose your job right are you a first responder who

00:44:47.400 dedicated your life to solving this crisis you're out and you're out on the streets in fairness to

00:44:52.380 trump supporters who flipped on this as well it was partially the mandate that made them flip yes i

00:44:58.200 you know it's being told that we must or else very then i don't want to and that's very true look

00:45:04.780 there is and everybody has their their you know there's it's it's not pure right like you know a lot

00:45:11.760 of people who are big trump supporters got vaccinated i mean you know yeah i mean look trump did very well

00:45:16.420 with elderly yeah with elderly uh supporters uh and you know you're at 90 some odd percent so we

00:45:22.440 know that a lot of people who are big trump supporters did get vaccinated but i think and

00:45:27.000 this is why i think your point is so valid here pat is that so much of the attitude and language

00:45:32.800 and approach of the biden administration infuriated people who were very open and
