00:00:06.100
Today on the podcast, um, there's a new poop-related problem in California.
00:00:13.420
Well, I guess the solution is posing a new problem.
00:00:17.100
Yes, and we get into that right at the start of the show, which you might question, um,
00:00:21.640
if you, uh, have ever heard of a radio program before, whether that's the right decision,
00:00:28.640
Well, it's, we're talking economics, we're talking about the social constructs, uh, we're
00:00:34.500
talking about homelessness, and we're talking about poop, and I mean, doesn't that cover
00:00:39.740
all of the things that everybody has to deal with every day?
00:00:44.780
You, and somehow these happen in the same show, but after the poop stuff was over, you got
00:00:54.420
Well, because you kind of question what's really important.
00:01:00.900
You, well, it seems that we are living in this world that nothing matters, right?
00:01:29.720
The small little things piss us off to the point where our head pops.
00:01:34.180
And so, uh, you know, when you talk about poop for a while, you do want to say, what's
00:01:41.180
And, uh, some, some, um, kind of deep feelings took me by surprise.
00:01:46.500
We'll hear that and a lot more on today's podcast.
00:01:55.140
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:05.760
Well, we have to start the show with a California update brought to you by our sponsor, New Pooperoni.
00:02:16.880
Yes, California's crappy policies now yielding some, uh, literal crappy results.
00:02:22.120
In one week, last month, the city of San Francisco logged over 16,000 complaints of human poop on
00:02:32.480
16,000 people called the city and went, there, somebody's crapping in the street in front
00:02:40.140
In seven days, the mounds of vagrant generated poop actually forced the closure of a convention
00:02:53.260
You know, didn't they just, didn't somebody just pull a convention because of a bathroom
00:03:03.800
If you live in San Francisco, I want you to know, help is on the way.
00:03:09.560
Mayor London Breed was, uh, uh, absolute, I'm quoting, absolutely shocked after walking
00:03:15.940
around town and seeing not only all of the poop, but all of the used drug needles.
00:03:21.360
Now, how many needles are they giving out in San Francisco every month?
00:03:26.580
It's hundreds of thousands of needles they're giving out.
00:03:29.180
Well, and some of those come back to be recycled too.
00:03:34.780
Well, they're supposed to return them, but you can't expect when you, you know, heroin
00:03:41.400
Uh, well, the mayor has decided she's mad as hell and she's not going to take it anymore.
00:03:45.580
So she's bringing it and bringing out the big guns.
00:03:51.780
I think we're going to be seeing this, um, this action hero on the big, big, big screen
00:03:56.480
soon, uh, it is the San Francisco version of Delta Force or the Navy SEALs, uh, and they
00:04:02.920
may already be patrolling your streets in San Francisco dressed in hazmat suits and patrolling
00:04:08.560
neighborhoods with the state of the art patrol vehicle, um, uh, equipped with a steam cleaner
00:04:15.780
They are the men and women of the San Francisco poop patrol.
00:04:27.320
Now, keep in mind, uh, this story is not a parody.
00:04:34.080
San Francisco has now allocated over $100 million to combat the poop and needle problem.
00:04:44.580
Now you might be thinking to yourself, holy crap, a hundred million dollars.
00:04:51.060
That sounds like a colossal waste of a ton of money.
00:04:54.200
You can't get it done for cheaper than a hundred million dollars.
00:04:59.320
Well, remember it's California and, and, and San Francisco, I mean the Bay area, a hundred
00:05:04.080
million, uh, you know, San Francisco residents.
00:05:07.100
You remember when a hundred million dollars, you know, was a lot of money.
00:05:10.120
It doesn't go as far, uh, you know, as it used to in that hell hole of, uh, San Francisco,
00:05:15.640
uh, a hundred million dollars in San Francisco, I think can get you maybe 175 square feet,
00:05:25.700
Uh, probably, I, I think somewhere between five and eight gallons of gas or the poop patrol.
00:05:36.660
The new San Francisco public works budget includes $72.5 million for street cleaning.
00:05:44.300
Get this one, $12 million for housekeepers to get this clean homeless encampments.
00:06:08.240
If I'm working in San Francisco, I'm just working at a deli and I'm paying taxes to San
00:06:14.020
Francisco and I have to go home and clean my house.
00:06:20.700
So the people who come and poop in front of my store, I'm paying taxes.
00:06:33.740
Also $2.8 million for washing down the camps and removing any biohazard.
00:06:38.300
2.3 million to steam the poop infested streets.
00:06:45.940
$700,000 for a 10, uh, 10, uh, member needle cleanup squad.
00:06:51.360
And of course, nearly 900,000 for the poop patrol.
00:06:56.220
Each member of the poop patrol takes over, uh, uh, you ready?
00:07:00.900
Takes home over $184,000 in salary and benefits.
00:07:08.000
I don't know what it would cost to get me to pick up human poop.
00:07:16.460
It, it, it would be, it would probably be a little more expensive than that.
00:07:20.740
But are you telling me that you can't find, oh, I don't know, group of teenagers, college
00:07:30.240
How about, how about, how about all of those progressives that just love people so much
00:07:37.200
And you're telling me that you can't get them for, I don't know, a bag of weed and, uh, you
00:07:44.880
You can't get them to go clean the streets of the human feces.
00:07:50.000
$184,000 is what you're paying people to pick up poop?
00:07:55.600
If I may, I'd like to give some advice to the new unit, uh, patrolling California streets.
00:08:04.740
If you would like to clean up all the crap in your cities, uh, I would suggest that you
00:08:10.160
start removing the human poop that you strangely, uh, in California call politicians.
00:08:16.420
The ones that are throwing all this money at a failed city and a failed policy, one right
00:08:22.280
after another, you can't really get rid of the, the scent of poop by simply spraying something
00:08:33.240
May I suggest that you start shoveling out the Capitol building in Sacramento and then
00:08:38.440
work your way down to every city government from there.
00:08:44.120
poop patrol for progressive politicians and policy or the PPP, PPP.
00:08:51.720
Uh, you know, and, and I think there would be some funding from, you know, rich people
00:08:59.580
I mean, I would make a donation right now to the PPP, PPP.
00:09:04.340
Uh, you know, if we could get one in Washington, who's with me, keep an eye out and look for them
00:09:11.860
coming soon to movie theaters near you, patrolling the streets of DC and San Francisco, the human
00:09:28.900
Now there are services in this service economy we now have, which will come to your home and
00:09:36.580
pick up the dog poop from your lawn for like, you know, you come over once a week and it's
00:09:49.800
Uh, but there is also another service that comes over and picks up the poop in your lawn
00:09:58.000
Well, as I explained to my kids, that's what I had you for.
00:10:04.660
Uh, but first of all, that seems like a really high rate to go pick up poop.
00:10:16.040
I would think that there's, let me ask you this, how much would it take for me to get
00:10:22.100
Well, I mean, so am I employed or am I not employed?
00:10:28.840
Well, you do need, I mean, Google is no longer taking, uh, you know, they're no longer requiring
00:10:35.180
So let's say you don't have a college degree, right?
00:10:38.420
Um, you know, but you do have some prospects, but you're looking for a job.
00:10:43.040
How much does it take to get you into the poop?
00:10:45.940
I mean, $184,000 easily gets me into that gig, right?
00:10:49.480
I mean, $100,000 gets you into that gig probably too.
00:11:10.100
No, I will thank God when people stop crapping in the streets.
00:11:16.280
When did we like, you know, just drop the trowel right here and just.
00:11:24.400
It's tough because once the trend starts, it's like, you know, when you go to a concert
00:11:29.020
or something and there's a bunch of parking spots and they're all filled and that first
00:11:33.220
person pulls up on the, onto the curb and onto the grass.
00:11:36.900
And then five minutes later, you've got rows of cars on the grass.
00:11:41.220
The first time, I mean, it probably was a little strange.
00:11:44.280
I'll give you the first time someone was like, you know what?
00:11:53.680
However, when it's just the thing, when you have an entire product line called Poo-Baroni,
00:12:11.180
When there's enough poop going on at that point, you may need to fight back with employees.
00:12:18.420
That feels to me like a, like, you know, a $15 an hour job.
00:12:26.040
I'm willing to give you the $15 wage on that one.
00:12:34.000
It just requires you to be willing to pick up somebody's poop.
00:12:45.040
$20 an hour is a lot less than, let's say, $20 an hour times 40 times, let's say, we work
00:12:56.920
In San Francisco, I mean, you know, I mean, it's probably not going to go that far, but
00:13:07.000
It's not like, I've got my degree in poop picking up.
00:13:10.980
Like, you have, you've talked about this before with certain things you have to do to cows
00:13:14.620
on your farm, which to me sound like completely horrific escapades.
00:13:21.940
Now, I can't think of an amount of money that you would have to pay me to do that one time
00:13:27.720
Although, once you experience it, you are kind of like, you look at the guy with only one
00:13:33.300
sleeve on his shirt and a giant glove that goes up to his shoulder, and you're kind of
00:13:40.120
And he's like, oh, yeah, and you're kind, there's a piece of you that goes, I kind of
00:13:45.740
But then you, then you come to your senses and you're like, no, no, no, I don't want my
00:13:56.600
But see, that guy is not just like, he's not like, I just, they pay me to come here and
00:14:02.460
just, you know, stick my hand in the butt of a cow.
00:14:08.460
This is actually, you pay him for more than just doing the thing that you don't want
00:14:13.520
But I think, I do think part of the premium that doctors receive, and this is all good
00:14:18.440
humans and veterinarians and everything, is the ability to get over the really disgusting
00:14:24.520
Now, it's also, you're healing people, but like, there's people who go and change bedpans,
00:14:31.060
Like, the guys who do change bedpans, it should be, I mean, we should look at things, oh, you're
00:14:37.360
changing bedpans, and you're, oh, you have to clean up all the vomit, too, huh?
00:14:42.240
The guy who's doing breast augmentation, I don't put them, I mean, I like to see their
00:14:47.340
wages come a little closer to each other, you know what I mean?
00:14:50.920
One's working on women's breasts, and the other one's cleaning up vomit.
00:14:54.980
I thank God for both jobs, personally, but I would say that, I would say that they think
00:15:00.680
there is that idea, this is something we've talked about with the supposed gender wage
00:15:11.760
But one of the reasons it's a BS stat is that guys tend to pick jobs where they're very
00:15:17.640
dangerous, you know, in the middle of nowhere, oil rig, that is a dangerous taxing job,
00:15:23.300
physical jobs, and also sometimes kind of the nasty jobs.
00:15:27.380
There's a lot of jobs out there that are really gross, and one of the reasons the women have
00:15:31.780
closed up that gender cap is because they've taken a lot of roles in healthcare that are
00:15:38.660
So there is a premium, like if you were picking up rappers, you know, candy rappers after a
00:15:43.640
concert, I think there's a premium you pay to the poop squad from that job.
00:15:48.500
Like, you're working in Disneyland, and you've got one of those little claw things, and you're
00:15:52.420
picking up the wrappers, and you're putting in the trash can.
00:16:05.800
I'm not afraid to say you need to make a little extra more.
00:16:13.020
What would you say the difference is from the person who is picking up dog poop for a
00:16:20.480
living, as opposed to someone picking up human poop?
00:16:25.480
I think there is, but once you're in the poop business.
00:16:28.800
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's in the poop business.
00:16:33.320
But it's not the same kind of distance between the candy wrapper guy.
00:16:40.940
Once you get into the poop business, you've got a large spread.
00:16:44.380
Now, dog poop, human poop, there's still a spread there.
00:16:48.400
You know, it's like dog poop, human poop, elephant poop.
00:16:59.100
If you're following one animal in a parade, no.
00:17:01.820
If you're in Africa and you want to have everything clean and you're at an elephant refuge.
00:17:11.660
There's something I think different about animals than human.
00:17:17.640
You expect them to poop on the streets or wherever they're standing.
00:17:21.840
Here in America, we're now apparently just expecting humans to act like animals.
00:17:32.580
If this isn't the perfect example of job creation in a progressive world, I don't know what is.
00:17:43.480
Hey, we can hire more housekeepers because every homeless camp is going to now have housekeepers.
00:17:49.500
So they can't be expected to, you know, clean up their sleeping bag.
00:17:59.060
Maybe we can leave a little mint on their pillow, too.
00:18:21.320
In an interview yesterday, Massachusetts Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren and the sworn enemy of the President Trump made a fool of herself.
00:18:30.360
Now, that in itself is not news, but the specifics of her statement all started with a goofy, vacant grin and are really disconcerting.
00:18:41.440
Here she is in an interview with host John Berman.
00:18:47.120
And I know this is hard, not only for the family, but for the people in her community, the people throughout Iowa.
00:18:52.880
But one of the things we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where real problems are.
00:19:03.560
Last month, I went down to the border and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers.
00:19:10.140
I met with those mothers who had been lied to, who didn't know where their children were, who hadn't had a chance to talk to their children.
00:19:16.660
And there was no plan for how they would be reunified with their children.
00:19:30.960
She didn't want to pay any attention to it when it was happening under Obama.
00:19:34.460
But she was there and she was talking to the mothers who had their children ripped out of their arms.
00:19:46.660
Now, you know, of the things that we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses where the real problems are.
00:20:01.340
Because in this past week alone, ICE, which people like Elizabeth Warren, want to abolish.
00:20:11.780
In this last week, ICE has hauled off an illegal immigrant charged with murder in Mexico.
00:20:18.360
At the request of Mexico, we were tracking him.
00:20:25.500
That was reported that, oh, this poor guy was just taking his wife.
00:20:36.840
Now I got to drive myself to the hospital, too.
00:20:54.700
Crap, I didn't know Jeffrey Dahmer was taking his wife to the hospital.
00:21:03.100
They also got rid of a literal Nazi, something that the Obama administration couldn't get done.
00:21:13.620
Donald Trump's administration put pressure on Germany to take back a Nazi.
00:21:20.720
This guy's been living here since World War II.
00:21:27.700
Now, the world is so concerned about Nazis in America.
00:21:30.960
We've got 24 stupid people who are protesting in the street, and you have a literal Nazi,
00:21:40.240
and somehow the Nazi organization, as you call it, ICE, somehow or another, they got him out?
00:21:49.080
If anything, the system has failed in not preventing the entry of an illegal immigrant who murdered Molly Tibbet.
00:21:59.340
Are you saying that all immigrants are murdered?
00:22:03.800
In no rational or reasonable world is anybody actually thinking that I'm saying all immigrants are rapists.
00:22:13.440
I'm saying here's a guy who, I don't know why, raped this woman and killed her.
00:22:24.880
He shouldn't have been here in the first place.
00:22:34.640
Maybe it was her time, but it was not her time to go in that way
00:22:46.000
Then she says, last month I went to the border and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers.
00:22:55.020
Wasn't she ripped out of the arms of her loving family?
00:23:07.900
Her parents didn't take her to a dangerous place where they all knew they could be separated.
00:23:15.080
Molly most likely didn't even say goodbye as the front door closed behind her
00:23:27.360
Here's Molly ripped out of the arms of her family and taken away from her mother permanently.
00:23:38.280
There's nothing that might have been misplaced and soon they'll be reunited.
00:23:47.980
And it wasn't done by a group of people who are just overzealous.
00:23:55.300
She was ripped out of the arms of her family by somebody who shouldn't have been in the country in the first place
00:24:06.840
I think we need immigration laws that focus on people who pose a real threat.
00:24:17.860
I don't think mamas and babies are the place we should be spending our resources.
00:24:54.360
I think the policy that Obama started of just, you know, ripping them out from their parents
00:25:00.360
and just shoving them all in different jails and cages.
00:25:10.620
But shouldn't Molly Tibbet's death signify the need for a more comprehensive system
00:25:26.880
You know, the guy who is taking his wife to the hospital.
00:25:35.280
This guy could have come through the front door.
00:25:39.840
And he could have passed and he would have been good.
00:25:43.920
And then he might have murdered Molly Tibbet's.
00:25:59.160
You know, MS-13 kills four times the number of kids.
00:26:23.740
She uses the tragedy of a young woman who was murdered
00:26:35.800
This is the postmodern system of anti-logic that is getting dangerous.
00:26:54.800
Members of Congress are more concerned about the evils
00:27:07.820
because they weren't there when it was about their side.
00:27:10.860
And they care more about destroying the other side
00:28:00.540
How did we go from this nation with our founders
00:28:03.080
to this nation that is so far removed from the Constitution?
00:28:21.540
much to the chagrin of many people in the audience at first,
00:28:27.000
It doesn't matter if they're liberal or progressive.
00:28:30.540
And now I see my country doing exactly what I feared.
00:28:46.580
of responsibility for what's happening in the country.
00:29:19.320
And I'm willing to take more than my fair share
