00:02:45.660
you uh seen any uh neighborhood civil wars breaking out uh is this happening in your neighborhood you
00:02:51.620
should ask because i noticed last week in my neighborhood as i was leaving that uh there's
00:02:56.800
a guy that put up a trump sign right on the corner as you leave the neighborhood and i thought
00:03:00.860
well that takes some guts that takes some guts i don't know that i would do that put a trump sign
00:03:06.420
in your yard now and you're on a main corner you know he's a corner house right yeah and not not
00:03:12.560
in deep inside the neighborhood i thought boy that takes some guts then like three days later i turned
00:03:19.060
down the street and two other houses have biden harris signs in the front yard so the wars have
00:03:25.180
started man this is how the hunger game started people don't know that this is how the hunger game
00:03:30.220
started i mean in today's world like we did we had the story earlier uh earlier this week about the
00:03:35.280
lady who got a strongly worded letter from the neighbors because of her trump sign yes right
00:03:40.420
and she and they were they just hated her and wanted her to get rid of the sign in fact and it's
00:03:45.000
amazing because she's a mexican-american single mother whose parents are legal immigrants so i mean
00:03:51.260
i guess that doesn't matter if it's a trump sign right the trump 2020 sign doesn't matter who you are
00:03:57.280
my wife uh lisa page made me do it on on instagram of course uh as she would make me tell you uh posted
00:04:03.860
that that's the first place i saw it was on her feed because it was some some local area around
00:04:07.340
here where this letter came in and it's a letter basically saying hey uh i saw your trump sign just
00:04:13.460
wanted to thank you for being uh hating immigrants right and hating people like me you're you're this
00:04:18.060
is a loud statement as to what you think about people like me and who you're yeah and it was like
00:04:22.240
this really angry thing and of course she didn't realize that she had actually delivered it to a
00:04:26.820
mexican-american yeah who was a trump supporter just incredible and that got me and then that's
00:04:33.000
when you know i see the trump sign in my neighborhood i'm thinking i don't know that i would do that
00:04:36.560
i don't know that i put up the i mean it's i barely want to put up a flag anymore right that's crazy
00:04:42.320
that's crazy uh because that is that that that is not america right if you can't put up a freaking
00:04:50.680
american flag and i know you're exaggerating a little bit here but like the trump thing is like
00:04:55.580
legitimate if you put a trump sticker on your car you've got a good chance of it getting keyed
00:04:59.200
yeah and the point is like yes i there's two parts of me on this one is like i i want to put
00:05:04.380
every political sign on my car you know i want to put pro-life i want to put everything on there
00:05:08.320
just because i hate the idea that this would be someone who's been angered by it yeah on the other
00:05:14.020
side i realize that no person in in american history has changed their mind over a bumper sticker or a
00:05:20.340
sign i don't know about that i may have i may have gone to a restaurant or two because of a bumper sticker
00:05:25.460
yes advertisement i guess does work uh but i used to they used to have these signs i used to always
00:05:29.760
think this was the worst thing in the world down in uh in philadelphia when i would i would be on my
00:05:34.380
commute to the studios there and there would be these signs in the neighborhoods that would say
00:05:39.060
um vote line seven yeah and you're like yeah yeah vote line seven you're not even going to tell me
00:05:46.220
what it is or what the name is because it becomes just a cultural thing right you know uh we were
00:05:53.500
driving through a neighborhood in here in texas and there must have been an 80 to 1 ratio of trump
00:05:58.880
to biden signs like it was okay one of these big complexes every single one trump sign everywhere
00:06:05.440
it was one of these deep deep red one little biden harris and then one little biden person you're like
00:06:10.140
look i do i am i voting for joe biden no but it you'd like the the the the bravery to at least stick
00:06:17.440
the line the stick the sign in your life absolutely and i felt bad about thinking about this guy putting
00:06:21.880
up his trump uh trump pence 2020 sign in the front yard on this corner lot i'm thinking
00:06:27.160
yeah i you know this is a main road coming out of the neighborhood i don't know that i would do that
00:06:32.240
it might be accidentally have uh you know oops did that brick fly out of the back of my pickup truck up
00:06:37.780
against your house sorry one of the things they're saying now is people are putting signs in areas
00:06:42.960
where they can't be trashed so instead of putting them out on the corner where you would normally put
00:06:47.900
them they're putting them in trees they're putting them behind fences like hanging over a fence so
00:06:53.380
you'd have to get out of your car and go all the way up to the house to take down the sign which is
00:06:57.520
a little bit more difficult to do that is like how can this be our country it's so ridiculous and it's
00:07:03.640
not the same as you know during election season where you have the empty corner lots with 80 signs
00:07:09.140
you know vote for this judge vote for that judge yes on 18 yeah okay and they have like you know
00:07:16.500
there's 50 signs as you're at the red light okay that's fine i just thought i saw a story from
00:07:22.140
montana where they it was some guy came on to somebody's property and tore their signs down off
00:07:28.120
of their front porch and then set them on fire in their front lawn well they had their kids sleeping
00:07:33.780
about 10 feet away inside the house and you don't know when that fire is gonna spread i mean that
00:07:41.220
it just it's insanity what people are doing most definitely over a trump sign get over it he's one
00:07:47.520
of the two major candidates yeah like he's the president of the united states by the way yeah
00:07:51.860
uh move on with your life who hates people and can't stand them and we know how you that that's
00:07:59.240
exactly how you feel and because he hates people you must now absolutely that's what that sign means
00:08:04.840
that's what that sign means have you seen friends and stuff in your life relatives that have blown up
00:08:10.580
their relationships over this yet have you been seeing this i don't know about relationships i mean
00:08:14.340
with the the fights and the not talking to each other yeah well it's kind of blowing up your really
00:08:18.200
yeah i mean not necessarily they're never going to talk again but just like they're they're at odds
00:08:23.320
and will not speak to each other about anything for a while that that's an amazing development to
00:08:29.900
me it's like you know this you can only you can't you're never going to change someone's mind like
00:08:36.280
that i talked about this with jim gaffigan this week on stew does america that guy is and i i look
00:08:40.800
i love gaffigan i love the guy i think he's hilarious i think he's a legend right i think he's great
00:08:45.980
comedian and and he's gone for years and years and years avoiding politics because
00:08:53.120
as that was a good idea right as he said it was a really good idea really good idea and what he
00:08:58.080
said was like i know no one wants to hear about politics for me i'm not changing any minds right
00:09:01.380
right which is true so one day he has this sort of like ah screw it i don't care anymore i gotta
00:09:06.880
say something oh blah blah blah blah blah this is too important blah blah blah blah blah right and
00:09:10.720
then he rants on social media so now he's pissed off about half of his fans a good chunk of them will
00:09:17.740
never go back to to listening to him again for any reason i'm not going to i mean i don't i can
00:09:22.680
i don't care honestly like every every comedian or actor or whatever sports celebrity i assume are
00:09:28.440
just mega insane liberals so i don't necessarily care i didn't assume that about jim gaffigan
00:09:33.260
i didn't assume that i kind of thought i mean if you listen to his if you listen closely to him i
00:09:37.380
think what he actually is is a midwestern democrat like i don't think he i don't think if this was
00:09:44.720
i don't know uh marco rubio running right now i don't think this happens i think he's one of
00:09:50.000
these people who's been broken by the trump era right not trump's fault but like these people
00:09:54.900
who are on the left cannot be rational around donald trump it's impossible for them it's impossible
00:09:59.940
for them and so this is what he is right now which is not only i i think it's interesting to note that
00:10:05.320
not only is it a waste for him and his career like it will i mean he's he's a big enough guy that he's
00:10:10.740
he'll probably be hurt by this but it's not going to destroy his career i don't think
00:10:13.940
um but what what i think on the other side of that is which is much more important for us
00:10:19.040
because jim gaffigan's got millions of dollars already he's going to be taken care of for a
00:10:23.360
very long time much more important for us is to realize how we felt as he was tweeting those things
00:10:29.900
did it move us toward joe biden no no moved us away from him the more important thing to
00:10:37.000
understand here is how ineffective this tactic is this tactic of just screaming and ranting and raving
00:10:43.160
like an insane person and saying to everyone who's on the other side hey idiots you're a bunch
00:10:49.200
of morons you know you're this guy's a thief a liar a scam artist whatever it doesn't work forget the
00:10:55.860
fact that it's dumb and it's wrong and all of the other things it's also just not effective
00:11:00.480
it's driven us closer to trump right it's made us less weary of the well he's not right here or boy
00:11:07.400
you know the hey boy he said that wrong it's like so yeah and like look when we're all around each other
00:11:12.320
you know vent all you want right but if you're actually trying to to convince someone which he
00:11:18.240
obviously obviously was yeah this is just not the way to do it it actually works against you
00:11:24.040
and the funny thing about uh uh gaffigan and you made this point pat is you didn't know what his
00:11:30.920
politics were right and he was a very effective communicator which is probably if he would have
00:11:36.520
utilized uh his own platform to talk about these things in a way that was still friendly he's
00:11:43.260
actually capable of doing it right right he is one of the few people who actually could probably
00:11:48.280
convince maybe he should have used this voice yeah maybe that would have been more effective huh
00:11:54.760
maybe i just i'm at that point now where it's like anyone i like who i know is a liberal
00:12:00.080
i've i've muted them in my brain until november 4th they're all insane right now they they are
00:12:06.120
incapable of having a normal conversation they are incapable of having a rational thought i i just
00:12:14.040
i'll mute them until november 4th and then check back in yeah i you know that's a good way to to do it
00:12:20.180
and think about it but then on the same uh the same hand you're looking forward to uh sports firing
00:12:27.600
back up or at least football firing back up and we saw that the way that's going to be in our face
00:12:33.160
with the nfl present with the nfl it will be really bad it's going to be ugly with the uh
00:12:38.420
it's going to be the first weekend of the nfl it's going to be ugly yeah ugly and you know okay i think
00:12:46.320
i'm just going to avoid the first weekend i don't know what's going to happen with with college football
00:12:50.080
i mean we're looking like we're going to have some kind of season whether it be abbreviated or not
00:12:54.440
but all the teams all the players are on board i don't know that they get away with it as much
00:13:00.460
uh as the nfl will but it's going to be it's going to be in in your face so how do you mute that
00:13:06.400
it's it's tough because you know we we always get on we always bust on glenn because glenn's first
00:13:12.300
response whenever an athlete does something annoying is to come at us and go oh what do you
00:13:18.500
not care about america yeah you go to every movie possible and here's glenn back who goes to
00:13:22.840
literally every movie that comes out with every hollywood celebrity and all they do is rant and
00:13:28.080
rave about politics and then in every movie is actually the point of the movie is how bad
00:13:33.540
conservatives are but he'll go to every one of them yep and i just you know his point is you know
00:13:39.220
like we as we point out that inconsistency usually what we do is we change the topic but what my my
00:13:44.900
point here is that like you really can't micromanage this you have to realize that not only in
00:13:49.160
entertainment every business you go into you're doing business with people who are insane liberals
00:13:54.660
yeah every restaurant you go to one of the cooks who's back there is an insane liberal who thinks
00:14:00.460
black lives matter uh should you know should take over the government and antifa is is number one in
00:14:06.020
their hearts and you don't you don't necessarily know it but it's happening literally everywhere you go
00:14:11.060
this is civilization this is capitalism really it's the point of you don't have to know and trust every
00:14:16.400
person you do business with that's the brilliance of capitalism you just you have currency you
00:14:21.240
exchange it with them everyone does their little job and you move on with your freaking life
00:14:24.360
and there's things that i really enjoy about that actually happened i know wouldn't it i enjoy sports
00:14:29.840
i'm not gonna let some dumb player who hasn't thought about any of these issues take it away from
00:14:35.560
me i'm not i'm not letting them make that decision for me i understand why a lot of people are like
00:14:39.900
that and i you know of course respect you you know if you're not getting enjoyment out of it
00:14:43.440
because it's so in your face and you leave but like for me i can just turn it off when they're
00:14:48.460
blabbing about this stuff i'll mute it i don't have to i don't have to listen to it i know these
00:14:52.320
issues this is what i do for work i don't need to hear it from some stupid player who's never looked
00:14:57.560
at an fbi crime report i just don't need it you know i like i'm sorry you know we have this thing
00:15:04.140
learn then protest in that order wow that's crazy learn then protest another one learn then vote
00:15:13.340
in that order that's funny that you say that because i started a campaign this week on chewing
00:15:18.080
the fat because they talked about uh people clicking on links that they get text to them
00:15:23.260
and then it's you know it impermeates your phone and you just everything blows it up and uh they're
00:15:29.080
saying you know don't click on those i i thought i started a campaign think before you link what do
00:15:34.820
you thought oh come on now yeah that's a campaign i can give it's not going to hurt your side
00:15:39.680
business of spyware no no okay so people aren't people are going to do it process again how do you
00:15:46.740
what do you do first i want everyone to listen this is really complicated learn learn then protest
00:15:54.000
and protest i don't protest and then learn no it's got to be this order learn really then vote
00:15:59.300
huh wow think before you link powerful it's powerful i know think about it think about it
00:16:07.940
think about it hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us

00:16:28.340
so we got some pretty good economic news how dare you pretty good you know no no i mean pretty bad
00:16:39.220
pretty bad pretty bad economic horrible news just terrible terrible news all news is terrible until
00:16:44.720
november 4th don't you know that i do know that that's that's the rule in the media that's the one
00:16:48.900
we have to hit and then it's still going to be terrible depending on who wins it depends on who
00:16:52.060
wins yes now it could still be terrible until january 20th ish that's what i love hearing that too we
00:16:58.880
might not know till inauguration day we might not even know then okay all this stuff all this stuff
00:17:06.520
has a political angle to it i love people were like you know trump's like uh the trump they're like
00:17:12.100
the trump administration has asked all states to be ready for the vaccine on november 1st
00:17:17.520
all right okay hey i love that it's funny because uh now the left is all anti-vaccine
00:17:24.420
then now all of a sudden everyone on the left has become anti-vaccine because donald trump is
00:17:28.880
working on a vaccine now he's not in the laboratories i don't know if they know that
00:17:32.800
he's he's helping to coordinate the efforts which have been pretty impressive on this
00:17:37.720
uh but it does not mean that he's going to be actually he's not going to be injecting you
00:17:42.140
uh if you're in the left right now don't worry about it don's not going to your house with a
00:17:45.660
needle okay okay so just that is a relief uh so the unemployment numbers are out and this is
00:17:50.140
it is really interesting tell me let me give you this premise first pat and you tell me if you think
00:17:55.460
this is a legitimate premise the election is coming in november that part i think you'd agree with
00:18:02.440
we lost a bunch of jobs because of the coronavirus situation and we're bouncing back now yes if donald trump
00:18:09.980
can bounce that back to the levels we were at before the coronavirus he's likely to be elected
00:18:15.620
i would think so right because that would be incredible that would be that would be incredible
00:18:19.600
if this was just a and again a lot of people have died i'm not minimizing uh the covet situation at all
00:18:25.700
but if if what we have here is a situation that we're hit out of nowhere with a global pandemic the
00:18:32.000
worst one we've seen in 100 years and our economy has bounced back to full levels or close to full
00:18:39.420
levels within you know eight months seven months that is a really good case for the president to
00:18:47.040
make like the president can say that is he will have a good argument to make to the american people
00:18:52.220
at that time and so we're seeing these numbers come in now and there is a bounce back will it get to
00:18:58.160
those levels i don't know let me give you a couple of uh uh numbers here pat let's go back to a year
00:19:04.740
ago this is the the unemployment rate every month 3.5 3.6 3.5 3.5 let me go into 2020 3.6 3.5 march
00:19:14.520
4.4 april 14.7 so 14.7 is a big jump a big jump 10 points in one month that was huge may drops it
00:19:24.560
from 14.7 to 13.3 and by the way keep in mind we thought it was going to keep going up yeah it might
00:19:29.080
hit 20 or 30 is what they were saying yeah i mean that for when 14.7 came out there were a lot of
00:19:35.420
calls of of north of 20 yeah the predictions yeah did not come to pass 14.7 in april instead it went
00:19:41.400
down right 13.3 in may 11.1 in june 10.2 in july and today's today's number came out just a few hours
00:19:50.900
ago 8.4 percent 8.4 percent now 8.4 percent that's high high we were just talking about 3.5
00:19:59.340
3.6 right but when was it 8.4 percent last this is fascinating and just trying to think 8.4 to me
00:20:06.860
still feels really high for an unemployment rate right but not after 14.7 not after 14.7 but it
00:20:13.500
still seems like okay we still got a ways to go high yeah well the last time we had an 8.4 percent
00:20:18.460
unemployment rate was actually 8.5 barack obama december 2011 what i thought was fascinating pat
00:20:24.540
is if you look at this exact we've had we had barack obama for two terms right yep and then we
00:20:30.800
have um uh donald trump and donald trump comes in and he's running for re-election so if we look at
00:20:35.900
the exact same time in barack obama's presidency we'd be a few months before his election in 2012
00:20:42.960
if you go back to the exact same month august 2012 as compared to august 2020 now remember no
00:20:51.500
coronavirus in august 2012 uh in august 2020 the unemployment rate is 8.4 percent in august 2012
00:20:59.100
it was 8.1 percent so he's running amazing right now it's almost identical unemployment rate as the
00:21:06.600
brilliant economy of barack obama that was praised universally talking about that should somebody
00:21:11.920
should be talking about and you know what next month he's going to be ahead probably because if
00:21:15.740
this continues to improve the next month uh september 2012 it was 7.8 same with october for barack obama
00:21:23.200
going into his election 7.8 well and you remember at its highest when it peaked and it was it was before
00:21:29.520
the election uh campaign i think it was in 2010 maybe 2011 somewhere in there yep and it was if i
00:21:36.300
remember correctly 9.8 percent yeah 9.9 in march and april of 2010 and what is what did he say about
00:21:43.420
that well at least it's not 13 or 14 right 15 percent yep it's not 15 percent and that was when
00:21:48.840
we came up with the whole metric of created and saved jobs remember that yes the created or saved
00:21:54.460
jobs metric which we were like wait a minute what is that metric oh you just invented that out of thin air
00:21:59.500
which they did which they did um so 8.4 percent now that's look we still that means we still have
00:22:04.820
ways to go but we are going in the right track let me give you the job loss numbers here um so this is
00:22:11.160
you know we we bounced around um uh flat here for a while so we had let me see i'm gonna look this up
00:22:20.740
real quick pull this up for you so this is um labor force participation rate give you this so we're at
00:22:28.540
um here we go sorry i'm there's i'm looking at a bunch of different stats here at the same time okay
00:22:35.280
here we go job losses and gains this is the easiest one for people to understand is this the one where
00:22:39.140
we were getting uh like two three hundred thousand yeah exactly so a month so you have uh this is people
00:22:45.800
going back to work uh getting jobs here we go so this is going back to september again of 2019
00:22:52.760
gained 208 000 jobs 185 000 jobs gained plus 261 plus 184 so times are really good we're doing
00:23:01.540
hundreds of thousands every month solid numbers yeah plus 214 plus 251 that's february 2020 then the
00:23:08.400
coronavirus thing kicks in we go minus 1.4 million okay now that number is massive minus 1.4 million
00:23:15.780
massive but there were forced closures everywhere exactly which is why april is a little uglier
00:23:22.180
than march so minus 1.4 million in march minus 20.8 million yeah that was a shock to the system
00:23:30.820
20.8 million 20 almost 21 million people in a month yeah so i mean that is that's rough
00:23:37.400
however that's a body blow right there to the economy then you go plus 2.7 million in may
00:23:43.760
so right after the 20 million lost the next month we gained we gained how many 2.7 million wow which
00:23:50.920
again 2.7 million would be there's this ridiculous thing both sides going back and forth where the
00:23:56.360
left is saying this is the worst year ever and the republicans are now starting to say this was the
00:24:01.380
best month ever yeah and it's like well both of those are ridiculous right like right we're bouncing
00:24:06.920
back and that's great uh but we had a lot of room to bounce back and the idea that you're gonna
00:24:12.400
point this is like oh this economy is crashing i can't believe donald trump i don't know if you've
00:24:16.600
noticed but there's a little thing we're dealing with right now called a pandemic it's kind of a
00:24:20.280
big deal uh so we go minus 20.8 million in april then plus 2.7 million jobs in may then plus 4.8
00:24:29.080
million in june wow then in july plus 1.7 million and in august plus 1.4 million that's the new number
00:24:37.920
so the job losses in march and april were 22.1 million the job gains since then have been 10.6
00:24:46.300
million we've gotten almost half basically about halfway there so far wow now the negative look at
00:24:51.640
that is to say it's slowing right we went 4.8 million 1.7 1.3 in the last three months so it is
00:24:58.720
the rate is slowing and if it doesn't pick up we are not going to get back to you know full by november
00:25:05.680
which is a ridiculous i mean that would be incredible to be honest i don't expect that
00:25:09.000
if you can if you can show real improvement in the economy yeah recovery that they're looking for
00:25:13.680
that would be it would be inarguable right if they could get back that would be nice to have an
00:25:18.420
inarguable point yes that would be nice i don't think we're going to get all the way there he's got
00:25:23.120
two more months trump's got two more months because remember we will not have november numbers by the
00:25:27.740
election obviously we'll still be in november um however i think i think we get october maybe we'll even
00:25:34.980
have october numbers he at least has one more month of september now i think they'll come out
00:25:38.740
that thursday right we'll have uh so that'll be tuesday it'll it will be after right because it's
00:25:43.680
the first tuesday november thursday yeah so we will not so he's got one more month here he could
00:25:47.620
probably tack on a couple million more and he will have the weekly reports that will that will have
00:25:53.860
come in uh before the election so he'll have an argument as to but probably what you're looking at
00:25:59.120
in if we're looking at this realistically he's probably donald trump is probably going to be
00:26:04.100
uh telling you the night before the election that he's brought back between 60 and 70 of these
00:26:10.380
jobs which is great really which is yeah look it's pretty impressive in a few months the problem is
00:26:15.860
some of the businesses that were forced into being shut down are not coming back and so neither are
00:26:22.100
those jobs no so you've lost already in new jersey you lost 30 of all restaurants geez and and they're
00:26:29.520
thinking that might go to 50 before before it's done and uh new york still isn't open for indoor
00:26:36.180
dining yet which is incredible you got all those restaurants struggling to make ends meet on 25 of
00:26:43.740
outdoor uh area being filled every day well that's not enough for these guys to make ends meet of course
00:26:51.620
not so that's why that's the problem and this is the thing i keep coming back to the problem a big
00:26:57.960
problem with this economic argument is that so much of it is in the hands of one of the worst people in
00:27:05.000
our society nancy pelosi yeah because we had obviously we all understand even even most libertarians
00:27:13.140
i've talked to about this understand and agree that when the government comes to you and says you need
00:27:18.180
to stay home for a couple months the government needs to step in and make that right it's almost
00:27:23.300
right it's closer to uh it's closer to a eminent domain situation than it is a bailout right it's
00:27:31.420
basically saying we're going to take this from you we're going to take two months of your work
00:27:34.160
here's your compensation when that's forced on you by the government then the government's
00:27:38.340
responsibility is to you to make that right almost everyone agrees that should be yes that should
00:27:44.220
happen for a short time not forever but for a time there should be some sort of uh some sort of
00:27:52.360
uh government exchange so that happened and it did protect obviously you know there's some there's some
00:28:00.000
ability to be able to just pay your way out of these problems for a short time so that's what we
00:28:04.320
did we spent we spent trillions of dollars to make it so it was only 20 million people who were losing
00:28:10.380
their jobs and not 70 right so that has happened it is also now expiring if you were on unemployment
00:28:17.680
you know this if you're one of those 20 million people you know this right where you lost your job
00:28:22.280
the unemployment they gave you the 600 a week bonus basically to cover the fact that they told you that
00:28:28.620
you had to lose your job and that has now run out if you were a small business they gave you money
00:28:36.180
to bridge the gap here that is now run out and not everybody got it and not everybody got it anyway
00:28:41.920
it was not well run anyway it was you know it was thrown together it's the government that's how
00:28:46.480
they do things what happens not well so now that's all expired the republicans and democrats both say
00:28:52.280
that it should continue obviously and now nancy pelosi isn't even i mean she's not even negotiating
00:28:59.540
about it because she knows she holds this in her hands and if you are one of these people who think
00:29:05.360
that nancy pelosi cares so much about people that she won't destroy the economy for a couple of
00:29:09.800
months to get donald trump out of office of course she would of course she would right like i i don't
00:29:13.240
even i i don't know that there's a hesitation in me that says that nancy pelosi would if she's going
00:29:17.860
to have a choice between potentially helping donald trump's election and hurting millions of people
00:29:24.460
i not every not every democrat i would say this about nancy pelosi i absolutely say it about
00:29:30.760
she would much more uh prefer she doesn't want the economy to come back not until the jobs to come
00:29:38.080
back she may you know right not until november at least right if they if they win she'll be happy to
00:29:42.400
try to bring them back but this is something where basically republicans are agreeing with democrats yeah
00:29:47.000
i know we got through trillions of dollars at this problem and so these numbers may get worse
00:29:53.100
because of what is happening with this government program again like we all realize this is not
00:29:58.400
sustainable we can't just pay our way out of this forever but to try to bridge this gap is important
00:30:06.260
and i you know look she doesn't want to do it because she knows it's going to help donald trump
00:30:12.660
so either one thing one or two things are going to happen she's either going to not uh further this
00:30:18.020
government program which is going to obviously hurt in the short term or she is going to extract such
00:30:24.900
severe penalties and ask for such crazy crap that may we may not want to sign it anyway yeah so it's
00:30:32.160
a tough spot for republicans right now you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:30:38.280
so the antifa member uh 100 antifa who shot and killed the trump supporter uh the other day was himself
00:30:48.340
shot and killed last night when police caught up to him uh and uh apparently he went for the gun and
00:30:54.200
and i guess he was going to have a shootout with police and he was on the losing end of that so we
00:30:59.360
lost him we lost him uh but vice interviewed him obviously before that happened he had some
00:31:07.720
interesting things to say here's what he here's what he said you know lots of lawyers suggest that i
00:31:13.500
shouldn't even be saying anything but i feel it's important that the world at least gets a little
00:31:18.740
bit of what's really going on because there's been a lot of propaganda put out there i had no choice
00:31:26.240
i mean i i had a choice i could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color
00:31:31.220
what that wasn't going to do that that's not what was happening he had no choice who was he going to
00:31:37.760
kill they were just standing there on the street corner they as far as i know they were both unarmed
00:31:42.100
right yeah there's a some so earlier on in the day they were shooting paintballs you see this
00:31:48.780
footage where the trump guys were in the back of the truck and they were shooting paintballs at some
00:31:54.020
of the protesters and they were spraying i guess they were saying it was pepper spray out of the
00:31:58.240
back at some of the protesters it appears in one of the videos that the the person who was killed
00:32:04.700
may have sprayed a little pepper spray in the direction um that you don't die from that though that's
00:32:09.980
not no it doesn't that does not mean like is it just an excuse right he's trying yes trying to
00:32:16.320
say that he was innocent and was defending himself when clearly he was not clearly not it's just a
00:32:20.800
murder yes and this is what happens and you hear you hear uh his friend or compatriot say uh there's a
00:32:30.140
couple of them right here there's a couple right here and then almost immediately you hear the gunshots
00:32:36.080
yep and they kill him there's no excuse no justification for them just really uh uh amazing
00:32:45.100
and and and i will say this again because it's uh seemingly lost in the in the news coverage of
00:32:51.260
these events there are a lot of people who are saying well these trump supporters shouldn't have been
00:32:56.320
there kyle uh you know kyle uh rittenhouse shouldn't have been there and i think there are
00:33:02.280
certain arguments that i would agree with on that front but i will say this when we had charlottesville
00:33:08.660
what happened you had bad guy people uh who were out there bad bad uh groups of people on both sides
00:33:18.380
no don't you dare on both sides no all people were good on one side and all people are about on the
00:33:22.620
other um no you had one you know white supremacist obviously terrible out there protesting um and doing
00:33:29.440
their thing then you had anti-protesters antifa or some of them some of them were just regular
00:33:36.160
people who were there to say i don't want this in my town the bad guys who were there and and doing
00:33:43.440
their um their tiki torch jews or will not replace us thing one of them ran over one of the counter
00:33:51.240
protesters at no point did anyone say the counter protesters should not have been there
00:33:56.460
including on the right by the way that's no one ever said oh that cow those counter protesters
00:34:01.780
should not have showed up they should have been there nobody said that now with this both of these
00:34:07.500
situations in um in in the in the uh it was portland and kenosha right yes the two areas yeah the
00:34:15.880
portland one and the kenosha one no one's everyone's saying oh well those those counter protesters
00:34:20.360
should never have showed up they basically caused it they called it on themselves it's like well
00:34:25.120
no that's not the way this works you know this guy murdered a trump supporter for no reason
00:34:31.220
right and we were all supposed to say well it was his fault for showing up to be a counter protester
00:34:37.640
it's not what they said about charlottesville we can both we can all pretty much agree here that
00:34:42.440
people like this guy who murdered them were bad people they're rioting they're breaking windows
00:34:47.500
they're terrorizing these communities counter protesters show up and one of them gets killed
00:34:53.820
another one gets attacked and then has to fire back and what we're supposed to believe is it's
00:34:58.460
their fault for showing up as counter protesters it's totally different construct than last time
00:35:02.400
we just we just reverse those rules last time it wasn't the counter protesters fault for getting
00:35:06.940
run over by a car obviously it wasn't and the right agreed with that now when it happens the other
00:35:13.400
way around the left just changes all the rules and the media changes all of its rules it really is
00:35:18.260
frustrating it's really frustrating none of this is based on truth anymore pat it's just what's the
00:35:22.740
feel i don't know how what can we get away with today yeah it really is frustrating this whole
00:35:27.820
thing has been so bizarre and so frustrating from the very beginning another of those frustrating
00:35:33.680
situations is this poor owner of the minneapolis salon that rioters uh set on fire and burned
00:35:40.720
this woman's business was completely gutted completely burned um almost to the ground but it wasn't
00:35:47.580
uh absolutely burned uh absolutely burned to the ground so it was too dangerous the city said to
00:35:53.540
allow to stand so the city went in and tore it down the rest of the way and sent the bill to the owner
00:36:02.640
uh of the salon for two hundred thousand dollars this is this is not the only case of this either
00:36:10.660
it's happening to several business owners there i mean if that's not frustrating and makes
00:36:15.860
zero sense when the woman was in uh no way responsible for any of it in fact she just lost
00:36:23.220
her business because you didn't protect it from the city the city of minneapolis didn't protect it
00:36:27.800
from the looters yeah so she lost that to fire lost her livelihood and then on top of it when they
00:36:35.140
tear the building down they give her the bill for two hundred thousand dollars incredible and that's
00:36:39.400
not america no you know and one of these things i've seen a couple articles i know beckett adams
00:36:44.000
wrote about this uh in uh in washington examiner and uh there's been this case from the left which
00:36:53.760
has basically been hey it's just property right so yes we know they shouldn't be burning buildings
00:37:00.980
down but you know what it's not important it's not that's not important they'll get they have
00:37:04.080
insurance they'll get their stuff replaced yeah well apparently and like part of me said wait a
00:37:10.020
minute morally this is reprehensible what are you talking about you don't burn someone's building
00:37:14.580
down even at the very least if they got all their money back for the for the business from insurance
00:37:18.480
they'd still have months where they weren't selling their product months where they you know
00:37:22.820
had to lay people off all of these other complicating factors but in the back of my head
00:37:27.900
i thought to myself well at least at the end of this maybe they'll be made whole apparently not
00:37:33.360
apparently not quite the opposite yeah listen to some of this i thought this was really
00:37:37.360
interesting uh like dozens of other investors whose properties were severely damaged in the may
00:37:42.420
riots the kim family was stunned to discover that the money it would collect from its insurance company
00:37:47.080
for demolition won't come close to the actual cost of doing the job most policies limit reimbursement
00:37:53.820
to 25 to 50 000 but contractors have been submitting bids of 200 to 300 000 in many cases the price of the
00:38:01.900
work is not much lower than the value of the actual property records show um another one uh this is a
00:38:08.260
sports dome retail complex a different company than the one pat mentioned in saint paul um had uh the
00:38:15.220
the city hired a crew they came in because it was an unstable building they had to knock it down
00:38:21.020
and then presented a bill to the property owners for 140 000 to haul away the debris um this is happening
00:38:29.060
in place after place after place uh another company um said they got 125 000 bid uh but they only had
00:38:37.840
50 000 from their insurance you know big companies will have uh insurance that might cover them
00:38:48.080
like a mcdonald's or a wendy's might have insurance that's going to cover something like this a small
00:38:52.680
business doesn't a small business is going to wind up having their lives destroyed over something
00:38:58.860
like this and they will never be made whole many of them and this shouldn't matter but many of them
00:39:04.080
are immigrant owned and minority owned businesses who likely supported these rallies and riots uh at
00:39:12.480
other times and now are paying for it and none of this is fair even if they had political you know
00:39:20.020
beliefs that are insane like some people do it's still not fair they should not have their stuff torched for
00:39:26.500
no reason and i do think this is connecting not only to people in the communities but also people when it
00:39:31.640
comes to the general election they're looking at this and they're saying wait a minute one of these parties
00:39:34.980
is blatantly despite their recent denials blatantly on the side of the rioters
00:39:40.060
they i mean the vice presidential candidate of the united states
00:39:44.900
tried to raise money to get people who were accused of murder bailed out of jail
00:39:52.460
and successfully in some cases in minnesota yeah she was raising money to get these people
00:40:00.760
bailed out jeez that is incredible how unless you want a chaotic world unless you want you know
00:40:09.100
your life to be uh you know some some anti you know war-torn you know province of some african
00:40:20.380
disputed territory you know like where where you have whites and blacks fighting each other
00:40:26.580
and you have tribe after tribe going after each other and there's no stable government and no police
00:40:33.160
unless you want that world in your future how can you want this how can you sit there sit there and
00:40:41.220
embrace it whether you like donald trump or not it's hard to imagine a world in which you're like
00:40:46.880
cheering this on and and and and even you can tell the biden harris campaign has realized that this is
00:40:52.440
true and and now we're trying to back off of it but we're not idiots we were all here although we all
00:40:56.760
saw you doing it biden just said yesterday uh let me quote what he said i think what happened in
00:41:03.700
portland where one of the trump guys riding along in vans inciting responses shooting rubber bullets i guess
00:41:11.240
or paintballs he doesn't even know what the deal is right apparently there was someone shot by someone
00:41:16.980
in the crowd with a bullet and killed so here's biden blaming blaming the victim in this particular case
00:41:27.320
and and just minimizing uh the fact that the guy was killed by this screwball in antifa they just
00:41:37.700
will not condemn the things that antifa do still haven't said the name as far as i know no they
00:41:43.140
haven't you remember they went up to uh jerry nadler on the street and and he would he said it was a
00:41:48.220
myth antifa was a myth right it's not a myth to this guy who's dead i don't think i've seen a single
00:41:52.960
democrat condemn what they're doing or tell them to stop and that why is that hard i don't know i don't
00:41:59.080
know again like antifa these your constituents are these the people you're trying to please are there's
00:42:04.280
certainly energy on that side and maybe they're just trying not to piss off you know those groups
00:42:09.000
but i mean you know how often pat did they go after donald trump for not uh denouncing the alt-right
00:42:15.420
oh my white supremacist still do it and he and he did denounce those he did i don't know i think he
00:42:20.540
denounced the alt-right as well but he definitely denounced white supremacists i remember that uh
00:42:24.600
specifically yes multiple times over and over again it was never enough they don't have to do this one
00:42:30.460
time with antifa they don't have to do they don't have to say you know what black lives matter there's
00:42:34.580
a lot of good people who are who are right who are rallying and and and peacefully protesting and i
00:42:41.320
think they should be highlighted more in the news coverage but i will say there is a sliver of of this
00:42:46.400
group that is terrible and they're doing terrible things they don't even go that far because they
00:42:50.280
won't they'll say well we don't like violence but they won't say black lives matter is is involved in
00:42:55.020
it right they won't say antifa is involved in it they won't say that these groups are doing this all
00:42:59.140
the time in left-leaning cities all over america why this is not hard you know i you can be you're
00:43:05.820
not going to lose votes by saying antifa is too violent there's no like you lose the votes of the
00:43:11.820
antifa members i mean i most of them just want to overthrow the entire government and they're not
00:43:16.900
going to vote most of them most of them would be my guess
