00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the podcast. We have a really important show coming up on Wednesday. We don't

00:00:05.960 want you to miss. It is Alana Mar exposed what she has what she has done that is verifiable and

00:00:15.740 the new information that is coming out of what she may have done as well. There's enough, I believe,

00:00:22.940 for a grand jury to look into this and see whether or not she is a felon. There are some

00:00:30.300 serious accusations. They're hard to understand. But of course, you know, with the little puppets

00:00:36.340 and maybe the chalkboard, maybe a song or two. Yeah, a song or two. You're going to be able to

00:00:41.820 understand this. We break it down for you Wednesday at five only on Blaze TV. Please subscribe now.

00:01:12.440 a big one. Yeah, it's an important stand. All right. We begin the podcast talking a little

00:01:17.180 bit about what is happening with Iran. Also, a new study on on Americans. We also talk about

00:01:26.220 the loudest voice. I had a I had an astonishing thing happen to me. Both Stu and I looked at each

00:01:33.560 other at the same time. We went, whoa, wait a minute. We remembered something and have used it

00:01:38.720 as a defense of me several times over the last, you know, five, six, eight years. And we were

00:01:45.840 wrong. We were wrong. We both remembered it incorrectly. An amazing kind of moment. And

00:01:52.700 then I use that to kind of explain what people are actually hearing and what it actually means

00:02:01.720 from Donald Trump. Also, Alexander Hammond, Hammond on Boris Johnson and his path to prime

00:02:08.640 minister. Then Stu, after I hang up the phone with him, screws it up by telling me all kinds

00:02:14.300 of new information that now I'm even more confused. You're welcome. And and so much more all on today's

00:02:21.320 podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:38.540 Let's get this nasty snake off of our plate right away. Jason Buttrill is with us.

00:02:44.520 Jason Buttrill is with us now, and he has a look at what has been happening with Iran this weekend.

00:02:54.720 Hey, Jason. How you doing? Wow. Always at the end of the day on Friday, these things start getting

00:02:59.400 crazy. It's hilarious every time. I still see this is how I've been analyzing this for the past couple

00:03:05.540 weeks now. Iran's not operating from a position of strength. They're operating out of a position of

00:03:10.020 weakness. So now they're pushing, pushing, pushing to see how far they can push.

00:03:13.680 Um, to see if we'll get some kind of overreaction, whether that's we react poorly and then strike

00:03:19.320 something, you know, and escalate the situation militarily. Uh, or they're trying to force us to

00:03:25.000 the, to the negotiating table because sanctions are crippling them. Um, the last move before this

00:03:29.940 was they were very public, made a statement and said that we've exceeded our enrichment, uh, Kate,

00:03:35.320 you know, uh, production for uranium. And then they sat back and watched and waited.

00:03:39.500 Nothing happened. We didn't do anything. We didn't go crazy. And so they were like, well,

00:03:45.420 crap, basically, what do we do now? So things escalated some more with the drone. They flew 0.92

00:03:50.820 a drone nearby. What would we do? You know, well, we shot the drone down. Um, that was really

00:03:56.080 cool by the way. Uh, Marine Corps, uh, uh, radar blocking sent that. It was just really cool.

00:04:01.380 It wasn't, we didn't shoot it down. We made it crash basically. Exactly. Which is pretty

00:04:05.540 fascinating. Jammed it, took control of it and took it down. Really crazy. Um, but then again on,

00:04:12.280 so on Friday evening, I believe was these oil tankers. Now what they're trying to do is,

00:04:17.000 and I think it was a grossly miscalculated move by them because the geopolitics of oil coming out

00:04:23.060 of the straight of her moves have changed. Now, if this would have happened in the eighties where a 1.00

00:04:27.720 vast majority of, of our allies and us got a lot of our oil from, uh, through the straight of her moves, 0.99

00:04:32.780 we might've reacted differently to this, but now we're just not compelled to, to, to react if they

00:04:39.040 do pull a move off like this because the situation has changed. The economics have changed where the

00:04:44.200 oil is coming from has changed. A smaller percentage that go to NATO, NATO allies, I would say with, uh,

00:04:49.580 with the exception of Japan, don't really get the majority of their oil from that area anymore.

00:04:54.400 So it's changed. So they seize one of these ships. They don't seize one of our ships. They seize a

00:04:59.900 weaker ally in this. Um, I'll be at the UK, but they seize a weaker ally and they sit back and wait

00:05:06.660 to happen. Now that, now the, the, I think this was a complete and total lie, uh, as far as of course,

00:05:11.680 how they said this whole thing went down, but they, the, the, the UK ship said that they were going

00:05:17.080 through the exact channel they're supposed to go through. By the way, it's very hard to steer off that

00:05:21.420 because everything's automated. They know exactly where they're supposed to go, but they said all

00:05:25.440 of a sudden the, their attack boats just, you know, start surrounding them. The helicopters came

00:05:29.100 in. The Iranians said that they were acting aggressively and strangely, and then they

00:05:34.060 wouldn't cooperate with them. So they escorted them back to Bandar Abbas, which was total and

00:05:38.120 complete, just bull. Um, but then again, nothing will come from this. They're sitting back and waiting

00:05:44.080 to see how we're going to react because they're doing everything they can to get us to the negotiating

00:05:48.980 table. The president has to sit back and literally just check this out. You have to check your allies,

00:05:55.000 make sure that everyone else doesn't respond with too much force. Just sit back and let things play

00:05:59.860 out. This is, we are in a beautiful, beautiful position right here. We are exactly where we were

00:06:04.560 just before the Obama administration let them just ruined it. Basically the, the people, the Iranian 1.00

00:06:09.920 people were in the streets. They were rioting. Uh, they were this close to pulling off a regime

00:06:16.520 change on their own, on their own. And then we ruined it. And now look at the ramifications.

00:06:21.320 We are exactly in that spot, right? So are the people beginning, do you believe the people will

00:06:26.180 begin to rise up again? And can they stand that because the crackdown will be quite hard? Um,

00:06:32.600 it will be quite hard and it all depends on if they can get, um, their internal security force to

00:06:39.120 switch over because that's, what's keeping them in check right now. So we say that this is ridiculous

00:06:43.740 that they have our CIA agents, et cetera, et cetera. I don't think the CIA is necessarily there.

00:06:49.660 It might even, I mean, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had somebody there, uh, including special

00:06:54.880 forces. Uh, I, I know people that happened to be on the ground in Poland and other places when the

00:07:02.720 Berlin wall fell, uh, and their job was to be able to stabilize things, uh, destabilize on the way

00:07:11.720 out and stabilize on the way in. Um, do you think that they have 17 of our agents? No, that's, that's

00:07:21.560 ludicrous. Total, again, a complete and total lie. Uh, the thing is, and if you look at the, they're more 0.99

00:07:27.440 scared right now of internal problems. The external problems are not really mad about, or they're not

00:07:32.320 really too concerned about right now. Their external problems are being forced that the sanctions are

00:07:36.360 putting on them. But the main focus right now is that force is hurting the people. So like I said,

00:07:42.540 we, I think we were last week, I think food staple prices were 80, uh, have gone up by 80%.

00:07:47.760 Inflation is out of, imagine that 80%. So getting in milk, getting in, you know, chicken or eggs,

00:07:54.140 all the prices have 80%. That is insane. Yeah. Um, water is running out. They're having water shortages.

00:08:00.720 Now you have certain people within their government, within their security services, even IRGC,

00:08:05.800 members in the government who are being approached by a lot of these street movements. And they're

00:08:09.720 saying, Hey, what are you going to do? What do, what do you do? You know, what can we do? How can

00:08:13.620 you help us? And then you start seeing some of these people getting accused of espionage by the CIA,

00:08:18.740 which was just ludicrous. They are taking out systematically one by one, the people that

00:08:23.320 might cause problems for them. Once this street movement really erupts, that's what's happening with

00:08:28.160 them right now. So where does it lead? If we stay cool, where does it lead? So there's some good,

00:08:36.280 there's some good scenarios and very bad scenarios on that. What I think is geopolitically a war does

00:08:42.280 not make sense. They know this and we know this. That's why we're not going to do any kind of

00:08:46.920 invasion, which is just stupid. We're not going to escalate it to a full on war. If you see troops 0.97

00:08:52.320 being moved 500 troops of Saudi Arabia to support this, that's stupid. 500 troops in Saudi Arabia will do 1.00

00:08:57.860 nothing but piss off a lot of jihadis that are already people like al-Qaeda that are in Saudi

00:09:01.320 Arabia. But that's not going to do anything for Iran. It's purely symbolic. Moving a few F-35s into,

00:09:07.340 you know, into wherever that, whatever air base they went to down there is insignificant. Again,

00:09:13.980 it's not going to do anything. When you see five aircraft carriers start going towards that way,

00:09:17.680 that's significant. But one aircraft carrier there, that's not. Everything is symbolic at this point.

00:09:22.100 So they're not going to go to war. We're not going to do it. I see that either the sanctions will

00:09:28.240 continue to put so much pressure that the people out in the streets will put pressure on the government

00:09:32.320 to actually go back to the table and say, okay, how can we get back to the JCPOA? What are the things you

00:09:37.980 want fixed in it? I can see them at least making that gesture and attempting to go back. Either that could

00:09:43.980 happen, the street movement boils over and forces regime change, or the IRGC, which answers only to the

00:09:51.780 Ayatollah Khomeini, does something very crazy. And then everything geopolitically that makes sense 0.61

00:09:57.180 goes out the window and something bad happens. That would be an escalation.

00:10:00.220 Like what would they do that would cause that? I mean, they're taking tankers. I mean, this seems to me

00:10:06.720 very parallel to the Barbary pirates. The Barbary pirates would just take things and the world would

00:10:15.720 put up with it and put up with it and put up with it until Jefferson came and said, look,

00:10:20.360 a quarter of our money, a quarter of the budget is going to pay bribes to the Barbary pirates.

00:10:28.800 We're not doing this anymore. It's out of hand. We're a long way away from that, but it seems

00:10:34.280 almost like the Barbary pirates where they're just seizing things. What's the tripwire, do you think?

00:10:42.400 It's an interesting parallel there. I've also thought it was interesting in studying that the

00:10:47.060 Barbary pirate wars, they didn't really touch British ships too much. They didn't want to

00:10:50.380 tangle with them. That's right. And notice the British didn't really want to help the new

00:10:53.980 U.S. ships that were going through there. Or the French.

00:10:57.060 Right. The Barbary pirates were helping them out.

00:10:59.820 Correct.

00:11:00.060 Yeah. I think that this could escalate if the IRGC attacks like a U.S. flagship, actually attacks

00:11:09.000 them, or a U.S. naval ship. It's also interesting that the Houthis in Yemen have kind of, they

00:11:15.260 haven't stopped operations against the Saudi forces and the allies that we have there, but

00:11:20.340 almost stopped operations there. The Iraqi militias, the Shia militias in Iraq have kind of stopped

00:11:26.280 their operations. So either they're not getting money or they don't want to push that hard

00:11:30.700 because they fear that escalation. Something could happen to where, let's say they attack

00:11:35.420 a U.S. base, their special forces and some of us die. That will send this over the edge.

00:11:40.280 If they attack one of our naval boats, that will send this over the edge. And again, geopolitically,

00:11:44.240 it does not make sense. So the actual government in Iran, like President Rouhani and his foreign

00:11:49.680 minister, Zarif, they're saying don't do that. Do not do that. But the IRGC and Khomeini,

00:11:56.280 they're 12 or she is, they don't care about an escalation. And that's all part of the

00:12:02.240 global Islamic revolution. Yeah. And global chaos. Wash the world in blood. Exactly. And 1.00

00:12:08.960 that's another thing that worries me. So that worries me and containing Israel worries me 1.00

00:12:13.500 because they have a reality on the ground, which is we cannot let them continue to enrich

00:12:17.620 uranium. You guys can sit back and say, hey, that's fine. Go ahead and do it. There'll be a

00:12:21.460 breaking point. But Israel can't make that choice. They can't make that decision. They have to 0.51

00:12:25.420 respond. So if I'm Pompeo right now, the Trump administration, I'm constantly on the phone

00:12:31.560 every single day with Netanyahu saying, calm down. You know, we got this as our plan. We

00:12:36.440 back you 100 percent. We're not going to let it get to that area. Right. But don't send

00:12:40.360 there was a news article last week that said Netanyahu took three F-35s. And this is a leaked

00:12:47.140 report that they wanted to test to see how far they could get to Iran without them detecting

00:12:51.300 it on radar. They said they made it to Tehran and back with three F-35s was never detected.

00:12:56.580 And they said Iran is freaked out right now. Good. Good. Good. But Israel's the one to 1.00

00:13:02.520 watch right now and to calm. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Jason. I appreciate it.

00:13:08.280 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:10.140 Hey, it's Glenn. And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat

00:13:20.280 Gray Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:13:25.480 Are you watching the Showtime special? The loudest voice. OK, nobody is watching this. And I think

00:13:32.600 it's really nobody's. I didn't know the ratings were bad. Oh, horrible. Well, I don't know. They

00:13:37.340 were for the first one, I would imagine. I've kind of enjoyed it. I actually have, too. Yeah,

00:13:41.600 I've kind of liked it. Although they don't have everything right, obviously. I think if they are

00:13:46.880 as right on the sex stuff and the evil stuff that, you know, that they're claiming as they are on us,

00:13:53.780 they're about 40 percent right. That's about right. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. By the way, the ratings

00:13:58.800 went way, way up for at least episode two. Oh, really? Up 600 percent. Oh, wow. So the first one was

00:14:05.540 only 300,000, but they were up over 2 million for the second episode. So it seems like it

00:14:09.980 for whatever reason, I don't know if there's something big competing against the debut.

00:14:13.880 I don't remember exactly, but it seems like the ratings have bounced back to respectable

00:14:17.500 levels. So we're watching it. This is a story about Roger Ailes and Fox and Roger Ailes that

00:14:25.280 I never, never, never, never saw, um, the just, uh, sexual predator that I never saw. Uh, and I, you 0.78

00:14:37.040 know, I don't, I don't know. I don't think that it's unlikely that he was like that. Um, but I have

00:14:46.260 no evidence. Never saw, never saw anything, never heard it. Right. Never heard it. Uh, Roger was a,

00:14:53.460 he was a good chameleon. He could, he could be who he needed to be around whoever he was

00:14:59.520 around. Uh, he knew how to work a room. Um, but I think they have him pretty nailed, uh,

00:15:07.160 with an exception of, uh, they make him seem insidious on all of the things that he does

00:15:14.520 and says. And insincere that he doesn't, it almost seems like he doesn't believe the things

00:15:19.620 that he's saying and doing, he's just doing them for power, uh, or for gain, for ratings,

00:15:29.340 whatever. I, it's, it's a, the spin on it is like, uh, Fox was responsible for, well,

00:15:38.080 for instance, last night, uh, after the Fox and friends appearance by you, which we need

00:15:43.300 to get into in a minute, but they jumped right into the acorn thing. And, uh, there was a little

00:15:48.360 space between those two things. And it, and it, and it was not coming. It did not come

00:15:52.580 from Fox. That was not made up by Fox. That came from James O'Keefe. It did. And it wasn't,

00:15:57.740 and they're, they're spinning this, like everybody took marching orders from, from Roger and that

00:16:03.560 he had some big, uh, conspiracy that he was doing. I can tell you, uh, that with a, with a,

00:16:15.360 a, an exception that I've heard of, but didn't, uh, but I have no personal knowledge of Roger did

00:16:22.660 not, uh, control the spin of anyone. You know, I know that, uh, Bill O'Reilly was completely

00:16:33.560 independent. Uh, I was completely independent when Roger never walked the halls. Uh, you know,

00:16:40.660 if I ever saw him, I saw him in his office, he would call and say, can you come to my office?

00:16:46.000 And there was maybe what, six times, eight times in two years, uh, that I saw him with,

00:16:52.540 they never, I mean, they were always asking for our scripts, uh, in advance. And, you know,

00:16:59.600 a lot of times I would go on the air and I'd go, yeah, turn the prompter off. I'm going to go a

00:17:04.440 different direction. Uh, and, uh, it drove them nuts because they didn't know what I was going to

00:17:10.960 say. They didn't know what I was going to do. Uh, and so there was no collusion with Fox at all

00:17:17.400 that I know of with anyone. He was not a puppet master other than directionally saying, we believe

00:17:26.760 these things. We are going for, you know, uh, a conservative American loving audience.

00:17:34.660 Right. Like when he said, we believe president Obama is a racist and you need to say that on

00:17:39.060 Fox and friends. Remember that whole, um, it is remarkable though, watching this special. Cause

00:17:45.800 like in the, and we should play the clip, but like the reaction on the show is Glenn goes on Fox and

00:17:50.720 friends. He says, president Obama is a racist and everybody freaks out. And it's like, what an 0.90

00:17:55.140 antiquated time in which cable news personalities saying the president was a racist was at all

00:18:00.600 controversial. That's for sure. Now it's required. It's, you have to do it to get on television.

00:18:05.060 And it makes the accuser a racist. Yeah. That was a thing. Now every news person in the world would

00:18:11.660 be a racist. And look at the guys who were against that in, at least in the movie, uh, from last night

00:18:19.000 was, uh, Roger was for it, uh, apparently. And, uh, Brian Lewis was coming on glued. Brian Lewis,

00:18:27.780 who was just the PR guy. And he's like, look, you can't be fair and balanced and say that the

00:18:33.200 president is a racist. And I thought to myself, look at, look at the left making a movie about this

00:18:39.940 and not even recognizing that they've, they've more than doubled down. They've, they've taken it a

00:18:46.400 thousand fold. They also in this made a huge change. I think, um, here is the, uh,

00:18:55.400 here is the, the showtime version of what have, should I play this one first? Yeah. Showtime

00:19:03.040 one first. Showtime version first. And I want you to listen exactly how they put this together.

00:19:08.180 Here's the showtime version of history. Welcome back to Fox and friends where we have a very special

00:19:15.320 guest. Someone we're really looking forward to having. First of all, there was no special

00:19:18.880 guest. Our good friend, Glenn Beck is joining us. And here he is. Glenn, so happy to see you.

00:19:25.840 Tell us what's going on. How are your biceps, Glenn? Uh, not good. This one's pudding and that one's

00:19:31.120 jello. Well, because you're going to need them. I hear they're having a beer fest on Thursday night

00:19:35.280 at the White House. That is unbelievable. Why? Why? For a teaching lesson for the working class? Some 0.98

00:19:41.540 sort of, who needs to learn what here? This president, I think, has exposed himself as

00:19:45.820 a guy over and over and over again who has deep-seated hatred for white people or the white 0.93

00:19:51.480 culture. You can't say he doesn't like white people. David Axelrod is white. Rahm Emanuel 0.90

00:19:58.140 is chief of staff. He's white. 70% of the people he sees every day are white. I'm not saying 0.65

00:20:03.300 he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. He has a, this is a guy I believe 0.94

00:20:08.580 is racist. 1.00

00:20:12.580 F***. Dun, dun, dun. 1.00

00:20:14.860 Okay, we say Beck's views do not represent the views of Fox News or News Corp, and then 0.96

00:20:19.420 we figure out what the f*** to do with him. 0.86

00:20:21.020 Have you seen his numbers? We should give him more air time. That's all the ruckus.

00:20:25.860 Beck, straight up called Obama a racist on Fox & Friends.

00:20:29.580 Well, he's not wrong.

00:20:32.580 Jesus Christ, Roger, we can't just say that. Okay, we have to put out a statement. We have

00:20:37.580 to get ahead of this. Okay, fine. Well, you know, but let's just not rise to the occasion

00:20:41.640 when there's no occasion. Just be clear. We're fully committed to Glenn. We're fully committed

00:20:46.080 to his show. Fair and balanced doesn't mean a whole lot when one of your stars calls the

00:20:50.840 president a racist. It makes it a little hard to protect the brand. I'll decide what the

00:20:54.820 brand is. You put out the fires. I'll talk to Glenn.

00:20:58.520 That's a fascinating quote. It is by Brian Lewis there. Fair and balanced doesn't mean anything

00:21:05.060 when you're when your hosts call the president a racist. I mean, these people have completely

00:21:11.500 changed on this issue. Okay, so now I want to play what just happened. I sat down. And what did I say

00:21:18.860 in the Showtime version? You said the you he had a deep seated hatred for white people, 0.94

00:21:25.020 white culture. And I said, Well, no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying he's a racist. I want 0.50

00:21:30.520 you to listen to the actual clip.

00:21:35.480 If we have unbelievable why that the original from Fox and Friends.

00:21:41.260 And it goes a little bit. Why? Yeah, why this for a teaching lesson, some sort of a some sort

00:21:48.120 of a who needs to learn what here? This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy over and

00:21:53.760 over and over again, who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture. I don't 0.81

00:22:00.040 know what it is. But you can't sit in a pew with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years to not hear

00:22:06.180 some of that stuff and not have it wash over. Yeah. What kind of president of the United States

00:22:11.100 immediately jumps on the police, just like what kind of president would ever say, Oh, well, 0.99

00:22:17.940 yeah, well, he's black. Of course, he was breaking into the house. You never do that. This guy 0.99

00:22:22.260 has a social justice. He is going to set all of the wrongs of the past right. But listen,

00:22:30.000 he got you can't say he doesn't like white people. David Axelrod's white. Rahm Emanuel's

00:22:33.740 is chief of staff. I think 70 percent of the people that we see every day are white. Robert

00:22:37.840 Gibbs is white. I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem.

00:22:43.380 He has a this guy is, I believe, a racist. Wow. I've remembered it incorrectly. That's amazing. 0.98

00:22:51.500 You reverse. That's amazing. I did, too. Still, they took out all context. Yeah. And, you know,

00:22:57.420 the Jeremiah Wright stuff and the police acted stupidly because they were white stuff. And, 0.99

00:23:02.740 you know, uh, the typical white person, I mean, did, does anybody remember this stuff that he said

00:23:09.540 that he's a, she is a typical white person who, uh, you know, if she sees somebody on the street

00:23:21.140 that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred into, uh, our experiences.

00:23:28.220 Okay. We had that. We had that. Typical white person. If you said typical black person,

00:23:33.820 you're automatically a racist. So he got completely excused from, from any, any, uh, racist tendency 0.60

00:23:41.640 from that. Uh, and, and if you say somebody has something bred, a reaction bred into them,

00:23:47.220 yeah, uh, that's, that's all racist. If you were to say typical black person and assign a positive

00:23:51.940 attribute, you would be in trouble, right? Let alone a negative one that's been bred into them. 0.76

00:23:57.360 Mm-hmm. Jimmy, the Greek. Yeah. Ask him. Well, no, you can't anymore. You have to speak very

00:24:01.980 loud. Right. But there was context there. There was the police acted stupidly. There was the

00:24:07.540 clinging white people clinging to God and guns and, and an antipathy toward people who were different

00:24:14.600 than them. Then you got all the Jeremiah Wright stuff. You had this stuff in his book. I mean,

00:24:19.040 there was a ton of context there that led you to wonder whether the guy was a racist or not.

00:24:23.860 And so the, the, the, the show kind of shows it as a Roger being right with you a hundred

00:24:28.360 percent. Yeah. He walks out of that meeting and he's like, the guy is funny.

00:24:34.260 Now you didn't, when you talk to him, you didn't say, am I fired? Did you?

00:24:40.060 No, not that I remember, but now I'm questioning my memory because I, I had so strongly remembered

00:24:46.040 this, that it was the opposite way. Yeah.

00:24:48.120 They got it right on the show. I don't know. I, I, all I remember of that, I think is your

00:24:54.900 face. Yeah. And I knew there was going to be a fire. I came back to the office and you

00:25:02.320 were there or were you with me? I was with you at Fox and we walked back to the office

00:25:06.240 together. And, uh, then we got to see Stu's reaction after he found out what you said.

00:25:10.740 I do remember, I do remember the walk back now because you, uh, I said, that was pretty

00:25:15.040 good. And you were just bone white. And, uh, I said, what? And you said, you called the

00:25:24.560 president of racist. And I said, yeah, but no, it was in context. I mean, look at what

00:25:29.520 it was. And I was trying to sell that. Cause I really, I really believed that it would be

00:25:34.560 kept in context. Uh, and not so much. Yeah. And you were like, I don't think that's going

00:25:39.700 to happen Glenn. And, uh, then we walked back. Had you seen it? I didn't see it. I'm

00:25:45.080 Pat pulled me aside, pulled me out of a meeting. I remember. And you're like, do you know what

00:25:49.780 happened this morning? I'm like, what? And he's like, you know, I'm called the president

00:25:52.780 of racist. And like, I'm the guy that freaks out over everything. Yeah. And I remember thinking

00:25:56.980 to myself, wait a minute, never in American history has someone who called someone else a

00:26:02.220 racist gotten in trouble for being a racist, right? Like everyone, like when you say, Hey,

00:26:08.360 that person is racist, that never makes you racist. But in this one instance in American

00:26:13.860 history, it did. We lucked out. We lucked out. We lucked out. Wow. Breaking new ground.

00:26:21.420 Okay. Uh, anyway, that's on Showtime. It's a, it's an interesting look. I don't know how

00:26:26.420 accurate it is. More accurate than our memory, apparently. Yeah. Well on that.

00:26:33.320 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:38.360 Like listening to this podcast. If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

00:26:50.480 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show. So what are the things that people heard

00:26:57.840 from Donald Trump? The press will tell you that he is racist because of his stance on the border.

00:27:08.360 He is, uh, racist because of what he said, uh, in what was it? South Carolina, right? Was it North

00:27:16.340 Carolina, South Carolina? Yeah. Uh, sure. Yeah. Charlottesville. Yeah. Right. Or going back to that.

00:27:21.920 Yeah. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. I was wondering which one you're talking about. I mean,

00:27:25.500 look, they're going to find a different reason to call him racist. No, I know, but look at the big

00:27:28.880 ones, the big ones are the border. Cause he, you know, he says horrible things about Mexicans. 0.88

00:27:33.180 Charlottesville because he said some good people on both sides. Okay. Uh, and this one was a big

00:27:40.180 one, right? Uh, send them back. Send them back tweets. Send them back. Probably the three people

00:27:46.060 would cite most often. Okay. Can I give you three logical reasons why he would say this? Picking the

00:27:56.400 wrong words. He's not exactly a wordsmith. He's a guy who shoots from the hip and he has no filter,

00:28:04.420 but what the American people heard when, when he said things like, you know, the, a lot of them are, 0.98

00:28:11.840 are rapists and drug users, you know, sure. There's some good families in there, but a lot of them wish

00:28:18.160 us ill. How is that racist? Well, because the press and the left want to make sure that you never,

00:28:26.740 ever group anyone together, except if it's their approved group, uh, then you can group them

00:28:34.880 together. So, you know, the, uh, LGBTQI to whatever it is that, that group, they could, they put that

00:28:43.920 group together. So that's okay to group people, but you can't say anything about Mexicans without 0.99

00:28:50.300 being a racist. Okay. Well, what he was saying was true. Some are this, some are that, and we don't

00:28:58.600 know the difference between the two. What the American people are hearing is I'm tired of not

00:29:06.080 knowing who's coming in people taking from our system, taking, you know, advantage of us, uh,

00:29:13.420 you know, clogging our hospitals for free, uh, medication, uh, or free treatment. They're also,

00:29:20.340 uh, clogging our, our school systems and bogging them down. And you know what? They're changing my

00:29:26.680 community in ways that I don't think are in line with America. That's what they're, that's what they

00:29:34.940 were saying. My city is a, is a sanctuary city. We don't have sanctuary.

00:29:43.420 For people who break the law. And so many people in the government, both left and right,

00:29:50.020 and the media have just ignored it, ignored it. And then they started to take the stance

00:29:55.620 of, yeah, well, that's not really a law. And now they're at the point of welcome them

00:30:00.280 in. We want them to come, come on in, come across the border. We want an open border. 0.56

00:30:04.760 Come on, come all everybody free healthcare. So it's gone from something where, look, I've

00:30:12.480 got a concern and nobody's paying attention to it. And here's this guy who isn't real

00:30:17.600 eloquent, who just says what people are thinking, you know, look, some of them are good or some

00:30:22.980 of them are bad. We got to stop it. And because of an agenda and because the people in the media

00:30:30.840 and the politicians, they don't, they don't see things the way the average American does.

00:30:38.820 They don't see it. And so what happens? They immediately go agenda first because they're

00:30:45.780 blind. Second, they immediately jump to you're a racist. That only makes it worse for the American 0.55

00:30:51.720 people because the American people who have a real issue with the border, who are not racist,

00:30:56.800 they say racist. You're even more out of touch than I thought. And they'll accept more language

00:31:08.520 that is, is maybe shoot from the hip language against the politicians and against the media

00:31:15.300 because they feel like the media is calling them names and separating themselves. And they're

00:31:22.560 saying, no, I'm other than you. I'm not like you. We're other than you. We're the press. We're the

00:31:29.580 political class. And we kind of look down our nose. That only makes things worse. When he says

00:31:35.360 Charlottesville, I think, and I could be wrong, this is pure conjecture. And I think this comes from

00:31:46.240 Steve Bannon's influence. And Charlottesville is one that is really fascinating to explain if you

00:31:55.040 actually want to understand what may have been in the president's mind. Beyond that, it is what's in

00:32:03.560 the mind of many Americans. It has nothing to do with Nazis.

00:32:08.380 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:26.660 Here is, here's Ilan Omar.

00:32:32.180 If you're getting people pumped up for the special, you need to get the, you got to get pumped up so

00:32:35.780 they get something running through their heads all week. That's the issue right here. Do we have

00:32:39.320 the short version of this? Because I think people need to remember what we're dealing with for

00:32:42.960 Wednesday's special.

00:32:51.660 Ilan Omar.

00:32:54.180 Ilan Omar.

00:32:56.740 Ilan Omar.

00:32:57.020 All day in your head. I promise.

00:33:04.200 Is that, is that what I asked, I asked for something on Friday. Is this what you brought

00:33:09.080 me? Something that's going to drive me out of my mind all week?

00:33:11.840 Well that, no, there's other things coming for, for the special.

00:33:15.200 Okay.

00:33:15.500 But this one has been, I mean, we talk, we used to do this on the air all the time.

00:33:20.460 Yeah, I know.

00:33:21.060 Ilan Omar.

00:33:22.620 And it just gets in your head over and over again.

00:33:24.400 Right, okay.

00:33:24.760 Now we have something to go to.

00:33:26.740 Whenever you need it, that is there.

00:33:28.960 And I will tell you this.

00:33:29.680 Thank you.

00:33:30.140 I promise, because this happened to me, when you hear it once, it'll just get in your

00:33:34.540 head a little bit.

00:33:34.860 I know, it's already there. Play it again, please.

00:33:37.320 Okay, one more. Okay, yeah.

00:33:37.680 It's got to do it.

00:33:38.560 Special on Ilan Omar on Wednesday. You don't want to miss.

00:33:42.780 It's a special on who? Is it exactly?

00:33:45.100 Ilan Omar.

00:33:46.840 Who?

00:33:47.540 Ilan Omar.

00:33:48.240 If somebody...

00:33:50.040 Ilan Omar.

00:33:50.720 Oh, that's right.

00:33:51.620 All right.

00:33:52.320 So, the special, you don't want to miss it, on Wednesday, it is going to go through this

00:34:00.160 scandal that I think there is enough evidence here to have a grand jury look at.

00:34:08.700 And it's disturbing.

00:34:10.280 The story is very, very disturbing.

00:34:12.840 It seems to be a long string of felonies.

00:34:17.780 It's just difficult to really understand without a song that reminds you who it's about.

00:34:22.160 Do we have anything like that? Is there another potential song that would, is there a, let's

00:34:27.920 play that, if we have that version again? Because I mean, I think people need to remember who

00:34:31.060 this is about.

00:34:32.540 Oh, no.

00:34:33.860 I thought you were going for something else.

00:34:35.580 No, no, just listen to this, because the name is in there several times.

00:34:39.660 Ilan Omar.

00:34:41.960 Ilan Omar.

00:34:43.580 The special is on.

00:34:44.600 Ilan Omar.

00:34:45.400 And it's coming up on Wednesday on blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:34:50.140 The promo code is Glenn.

00:34:50.900 Yeah, make sure you sign up for this.

00:34:52.540 This is something that the mainstream media is not covering.

00:34:56.680 And I think they're not covering it for a couple of reasons.

00:34:59.680 One, it's very complex, but that's what we do best with the chalkboard and possibly some

00:35:06.180 Muppets on Ilan Omar on Wednesday.

00:35:10.900 5 p.m.

00:35:11.420 Sign up now.

00:35:12.000 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:35:27.740 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:35:28.760 And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start

00:35:33.260 your morning with.

00:35:34.740 And that is the news and why it matters.

00:35:37.580 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

00:35:40.840 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the

00:35:44.720 stories that matter to you and your life.

00:35:47.300 The news and why it matters.

00:35:48.420 Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:35:51.140 I have been looking for the real leadership for the world for a very long time.

00:35:59.120 And I don't know because I don't follow British politics as closely as perhaps I should.

00:36:05.760 But I have read a lot of Boris Johnson's work.

00:36:09.680 I've read his book on Churchill.

00:36:12.740 I have watched him from afar.

00:36:15.700 I think this guy has the charm, the intelligence and the backbone of a Theresa May or a Theresa

00:36:24.500 May.

00:36:24.900 God forgive me for that.

00:36:26.240 A Margaret Thatcher or a Winston Churchill and could become a very effective ally for the

00:36:34.100 United States, especially with Donald Trump.

00:36:36.500 We have Alexander Hammond.

00:36:38.960 He's a contributor for Young Voices at youngvoices.com.

00:36:43.560 He has been watching Boris Johnson and can fill us in on who he is and what he thinks it means

00:36:49.100 for England.

00:36:50.880 Hello, Alexander.

00:36:51.560 How are you?

00:36:53.080 Hi, Glenn.

00:36:53.620 Thanks for having me.

00:36:54.520 Sure.

00:36:54.700 Now, do I have Boris Johnson right that he is cut from the Margaret Thatcher, Winston

00:37:02.960 Churchill kind of cloth?

00:37:05.500 Well, yeah, I believe so, especially when we compare him to Theresa May.

00:37:09.900 Theresa May always tried to distance herself from the Thatcherite wing of the Conservative 0.90

00:37:15.840 Party, whereas Boris Johnson definitely tends to embrace it more so than she does.

00:37:20.840 Last week, for example, on Wednesday, he said that free market capitalism is the best way

00:37:25.600 to support the neediest and poorest in society.

00:37:28.020 And that's currently the core of his campaign.

00:37:30.460 So, yes, I definitely agree with you there.

00:37:32.740 So he explained him to people.

00:37:37.120 He is he's Oxford educated, very, very bright, but always looks disheveled.

00:37:44.420 You know, has this attitude or maybe some say it's an act that he's always kind of surprised

00:37:53.800 on where he is and who am I supposed to be talking to here?

00:37:56.560 Uh, and then he just becomes really eloquent and funny and people like the disheveled kind 1.00

00:38:03.500 of, uh, personality that he has.

00:38:06.920 Is it is that real?

00:38:09.080 Is that an act, a hybrid of the two?

00:38:12.180 And who is he really?

00:38:14.380 I think it might be a hybrid of the two.

00:38:16.420 Um, he comes, he was an old Etonian, so he went to Eton.

00:38:19.300 He then went to Oxford, as you said, um, in reality, he is a classical scholar.

00:38:24.280 Um, he is a historian, as you mentioned, he wrote the book about Churchill.

00:38:28.040 Brilliant.

00:38:28.500 Um, in many.

00:38:31.020 Did we lose him?

00:38:33.500 Oh my gosh.

00:38:34.600 We lost him.

00:38:35.300 Call him back.

00:38:35.900 It's Brexit. 0.67

00:38:36.760 See, this is what happens when a country starts to say, I'm breaking away from the EU.

00:38:40.540 All of a sudden their phone service goes away.

00:38:43.460 Every phone call in the EU has gone fine today.

00:38:46.020 Yeah.

00:38:46.300 Except for this one.

00:38:47.080 But this one from England because of Brexit.

00:38:49.380 Yeah.

00:38:49.760 Yeah.

00:38:50.080 He's, uh, we're going to talk a little bit about, uh, Brexit with him.

00:38:53.580 It's, uh, it's, this, he was elected.

00:38:57.960 Remember, he was the head of the exit party, um, or the Brexit party.

00:39:02.280 Which was like three weeks old when he won.

00:39:04.320 I know.

00:39:05.120 Right.

00:39:05.840 Um, and, uh, he was the face of it.

00:39:10.240 Uh, he almost won prime minister at that time, but it fell apart at the last minute.

00:39:16.200 Uh, and, uh, his critics say he doesn't have a plan.

00:39:21.400 He says he has a plan and that the EU will be leaving.

00:39:26.380 Uh, I'm sorry, that England will be leaving the EU by, what is it?

00:39:30.960 October 15th is the deadline.

00:39:34.000 What I like about him is he is again, plain spoken.

00:39:39.300 He calls balls and strikes, uh, he is, he is from the upper crust, but he, he reflects

00:39:51.140 the average person in Great Britain and he understands them and is representing them.

00:39:59.720 And that I think is the problem of the, the political elite.

00:40:04.060 They don't understand, nor do they like the average person.

00:40:08.080 I, I strangely really believe that.

00:40:11.580 I, I hope that someday I'm proven wrong on that, but I really believe that the average

00:40:16.280 politician, after they spend times in the halls of power, they grow to despise the average

00:40:22.460 person.

00:40:23.520 Um, and he doesn't, and he also doesn't hate the press.

00:40:27.560 I mean, it was crazy.

00:40:28.960 The, the press at one point was, was staked out at his house because he's had a, uh, he's

00:40:36.740 had a baby with somebody who was working in his office, even though he's married.

00:40:42.220 Uh, and he just seems to be able to roll through all of this stuff by going, yep, yep.

00:40:49.260 I did that.

00:40:50.160 Uh, and at one point he, they were staked out at his house and, uh, they'd been there

00:40:56.260 for like two days and he brings tea out to them at one point and says, look, I'm not going

00:41:00.980 to talk to you guys about anything, but I don't know.

00:41:03.440 I thought maybe a spot of tea.

00:41:05.460 You, I've really been feeling bad for you fellows out here in the rain.

00:41:08.840 So here's some tea.

00:41:10.640 I think that's great.

00:41:12.500 I just think it's great.

00:41:13.800 He has a, he has an approach that's disarming.

00:41:17.020 It's, it's, you know, you, you compared him to Trump and a lot of people have made that

00:41:20.160 comparison and there's totally different styles.

00:41:22.620 Totally different.

00:41:23.360 But there's a real similarity in that, uh, both of their opponents can't figure out a

00:41:29.300 way to beat them.

00:41:30.440 You know, there's like, there's that way of the same thing with Trump.

00:41:33.140 Like people would say all these things and they'd be like any other person would be, you

00:41:36.680 know, on the streets if they said this.

00:41:38.380 Right.

00:41:38.440 And he has that sort of Teflon that, you know, they used to say about Reagan, which

00:41:42.600 I never really understood with him.

00:41:44.260 Um, so we, we're back with Alexander.

00:41:46.500 Are you there, Alexander?

00:41:48.420 Yes, I am.

00:41:49.120 Sorry, but I have no idea what happened.

00:41:50.500 Oh, I do.

00:41:51.140 It's, you guys want to leave, you know, the EU and now your phone system's falling apart

00:41:55.920 because, you know, anyway, so, so tell me what this means.

00:42:01.760 First of all, do you believe he's going to win tomorrow or today?

00:42:05.400 Oh, yes, absolutely.

00:42:07.200 Um, the recent YouGov poll, which is the biggest polling, uh, company in the UK predicts that

00:42:12.740 74% of Conservative Party members are going to vote for him.

00:42:16.680 And what we need to remember, it's the Conservative Party members which are voting.

00:42:20.380 It's not the normal public.

00:42:21.500 It's not the members of Parliament anymore.

00:42:23.360 It's the Conservative Party.

00:42:24.620 So that's 160,000 people who are deciding their next leader.

00:42:28.040 I do not understand your system.

00:42:31.140 I'm glad we broke away from it.

00:42:32.580 Um, so, uh, so, so he's going to be the, the prime minister.

00:42:39.060 Uh, there I've, I've read, in fact, the New York Times was blabbing on about it today that

00:42:44.340 they don't think he actually has a Brexit plan that he's bluffing.

00:42:48.540 Uh, he has no idea what he's going to do.

00:42:51.040 Do you believe that?

00:42:52.000 Or do you think he has a plan?

00:42:54.380 Okay.

00:42:54.900 So the reason I'm probably saying it is because Boris Johnson, unlike Theresa May, is committed

00:43:00.480 to leaving the EU on the 31st of October, which is 101 days away now, um, with a no deal.

00:43:08.140 Whereas Theresa May, when she was in power, she refused to walk away from EU negotiations

00:43:12.940 with a no deal, which meant that the European Union, you never go into a negotiation saying

00:43:18.220 that you're unwilling to walk away from it.

00:43:20.720 And that's exactly what Theresa May did. 1.00

00:43:22.160 So that's why the EU gave the UK such an awful deal.

00:43:25.940 And there was nothing Theresa May could do about it.

00:43:28.040 So Boris is prepared to go in with, and he's willing to walk away with a no deal Brexit.

00:43:34.060 And that's beneficial because we can start planning for that.

00:43:37.200 And if the EU does want to offer us a better deal than what they already have, we are open

00:43:43.240 to that.

00:43:43.760 But if not, that's fine.

00:43:45.960 I don't understand.

00:43:47.440 That's how you negotiate.

00:43:48.980 I mean, you don't bluff, um, and you have to be committed to the end goal and yet open

00:43:55.660 to what somebody else is doing.

00:43:57.680 You know, if you, if you're negotiating with a company and they want you to come to work

00:44:02.540 for them, if you quit your job and say, all right, I'm just, I'm going to just work with

00:44:08.800 you on a deal and I don't like it, but I'm not why I'm, I'm coming to work for you.

00:44:13.060 You're never going to get a good deal.

00:44:14.840 Never.

00:44:15.560 Yeah.

00:44:15.820 And that's exactly what Theresa May did. 1.00

00:44:17.900 So leaving it on the table, the possibility of walking away, um, and opening ourselves

00:44:23.680 up to international markets, he suggested that if a no deal Brexit does happen, um, we

00:44:28.860 of course try and adopt a UK USA free trade agreement.

00:44:32.920 He's raised the ideas of creating duty free ports.

00:44:36.460 Um, so that's basically free trading ports across the country, which, um, there is perhaps

00:44:42.440 the potential to create 150,000 jobs for the UK economy.

00:44:46.480 Um, and we have many other countries in talks of creating free trade agreements.

00:44:51.100 So being able to prepare for a no deal Brexit means we are able to go to the EU and we are

00:44:56.180 not bound to them for a deal.

00:44:59.000 So are you, do you believe he wants to leave or he just wants a really good deal?

00:45:05.620 Um, so he doesn't want to do a no deal Brexit.

00:45:11.040 He's saying that as a last resort, but he is also saying that we must leave it on the

00:45:15.760 table to ensure that we can get a good deal.

00:45:18.680 Um, otherwise if we're not leaving on the table, we might as well just have three more

00:45:22.480 years of what we've just had until Theresa May, um, leaving us.

00:45:26.320 So he doesn't want to leave with no deal, but he is prepared to, which really differentiates

00:45:31.080 him from Jeremy Hunt, who's the other contender in the leadership contest.

00:45:35.560 And that's why he's likely going to beat Jeremy Hunt, um, because he is far more committed

00:45:41.420 to Brexit than Jeremy Hunt is.

00:45:43.320 Can he get it done in 101 days?

00:45:47.680 Well, that's not a lot of time at all.

00:45:50.180 Um, but luckily we have been preparing for a no deal for a couple of months now, even under

00:45:56.260 Theresa May ever since the, the original Brexit deadline was pushed back.

00:46:02.420 Um, it's, it's a tall order, but we must remember that it's not, uh, no deal Brexit's

00:46:09.740 not going to be harmful in the short term to the UK economy.

00:46:12.620 It's also going to be very harmful for the EU.

00:46:15.280 Um, there's huge unemployment rates in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, um, Germany almost was in

00:46:21.880 a recession.

00:46:22.380 We see the yellow, um, vest rights across France.

00:46:26.760 So they definitely need to trade with the UK and be on good terms with them.

00:46:31.780 So it'll cost them dearly too, if we were to leave with a no deal.

00:46:35.280 And it's not just the UK, um, that will suffer in the short term.

00:46:39.600 So I, I, I want to express something to you that I hope is not happening, but history, uh,

00:46:45.120 you know, sometimes doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

00:46:48.020 Uh, and I know you're, uh, well-versed in history, um, without getting into any kind

00:46:56.340 of conspiracy, there was in, before World War II, a group of, of, uh, I guess you would

00:47:03.900 call them, uh, not progressives, but, uh, uh, I guess, well, they're socialists, um, that

00:47:09.740 wanted a restructuring of the continent and a lot of the, uh, countries.

00:47:17.600 And so they were kind of pushing for, they were kind of excited about it because they

00:47:21.400 thought the war could happen quickly, be over in just a few months.

00:47:24.680 And you'd have, uh, a new world you could divvy up.

00:47:29.640 I've heard from people who in the EU that say there are those who would rather blow the

00:47:35.580 whole thing up, punish, uh, Great Britain, even at the expense of Europe, uh, just because

00:47:44.800 they believe it's, it's, it's got to be their way.

00:47:49.240 Do you, do you believe that?

00:47:51.000 I definitely think there's some people in the EU who want to use, um, Brexit as an example

00:47:59.840 to other states who are thinking of leaving.

00:48:02.360 Um, for example, the Netherlands has quite a large, right.

00:48:07.200 There's a lot of people in Netherlands who'd like to leave in Italy as well.

00:48:10.260 So there's definitely some call to treat us like an example, but if they were to do that,

00:48:16.900 the, we have to remember the EU is shrinking as a portion of the world trade, um, the regulation

00:48:23.280 is becoming, uh, ever more extensive and bloated.

00:48:27.400 There are calls for an EU army.

00:48:29.500 So the EU isn't just this one stagnant political move, a political union.

00:48:34.700 It is an ever closer union.

00:48:36.760 And that is their goal, an ever closer union.

00:48:38.880 Um, so if Brexit didn't happen now or it didn't happen next year, what happens in five years

00:48:44.840 time when the EU suggests, okay, we're going to do an EU army now, that Brexit sentiment's

00:48:49.920 not going to go away.

00:48:51.460 Um, and when we joined the EU in 1974, it was just for a single market.

00:48:56.260 And it was more of a free trade union than a big political entity.

00:48:59.620 And most of the people in the UK were very for that, but because it's turned into this

00:49:04.920 huge political, um, union with overbearing regulations following in, in the 1990s, that's

00:49:13.140 where the anti-EU sentiment has primarily come from.

00:49:16.860 All right.

00:49:17.560 So what time do they announce when he's prime minister?

00:49:20.980 Is that tomorrow?

00:49:22.340 Yeah.

00:49:23.220 Yeah.

00:49:23.520 So the ballot's shut in one hour's time and we'll know by tomorrow, um, who wins the

00:49:28.560 contest and then they'll come into power on Wednesday afternoon.

00:49:32.100 All right.

00:49:32.720 Uh, Alexander, thank you so much.

00:49:34.420 I appreciate it.

00:49:35.180 We'll, uh, we'll chat again.

00:49:44.420 You know, Boris Johnson was actually born here in the U S and apparently, you know, you

00:49:50.960 can still be prime minister over there.

00:49:52.900 Another thing wrong, uh, with, uh, Ray Pritton, I'm just saying.

00:49:58.560 Because he, they don't, they, they don't get a good birther controversy.

00:50:02.380 No, they don't.

00:50:02.960 Nothing.

00:50:03.200 Like he was born in the United States.

00:50:04.760 Yeah.

00:50:05.000 We don't care.

00:50:06.260 Nah, that's boring.

00:50:07.080 That's yeah.

00:50:08.640 They got a lot to learn from us.

00:50:09.920 Do you understand their system at all?

00:50:11.860 I hate this prime minister thing.

00:50:14.460 Like they're having another vote for prime minister, uh, in, uh, in Israel now, aren't

00:50:19.920 they?

00:50:20.860 Didn't they just have one?

00:50:21.880 Oh yeah.

00:50:22.260 Yeah.

00:50:22.440 And they're having another one now?

00:50:23.680 They couldn't put together a government's another voting again.

00:50:25.440 Um, well, and this one with great Britain, they're like, well, look, uh, you know, may

00:50:31.940 steps down.

00:50:32.620 So it's just the head of the conservative party, conservative party.

00:50:35.140 You think of it like if the Republicans had control, right.

00:50:38.040 And then Republicans voted on who was the head of their party.

00:50:41.360 Uh, and let's say they said it was Donald Trump and Donald Trump decided he wanted to

00:50:44.680 leave. 0.99

00:50:45.300 Then Republicans all had a vote that said, well, do we want Mike Pence or do we want Paul

00:50:50.020 Ryan to run the party?

00:50:51.080 All right.

00:50:51.640 Like that's basically what happened, but they're saying now once they pick one, this

00:50:57.260 may very well get the rest of the, you know, if in our, in our example, the rest of Congress

00:51:02.540 to come together and enforce a new general election.

00:51:06.060 It's like, wait a minute.

00:51:07.100 So they're going to have this election.

00:51:08.500 So wait, he, he may not be able to get a, what they call a consensus.

00:51:12.420 He'll get a, he will control the government now, but then to, if they want to push back

00:51:18.260 against this party, they can say, well, let's have another general election now to see if

00:51:23.340 everybody wants him.

00:51:24.840 And then that could happen.

00:51:26.320 Oh, it's just in, it's like, guys, schedule your elections a few weeks out.

00:51:31.080 How about that?

00:51:31.560 How about every four years?

00:51:33.480 I don't know.

00:51:33.860 The second, no Tuesday in November, something like that.

00:51:37.200 Everyone can get together and go vote.

00:51:38.820 We get what's, we're so worried about our system.

00:51:41.640 Oh my gosh.

00:51:42.500 System.

00:51:43.200 The parliamentary democracy thing is, is just.

00:51:46.400 So, but they can only trigger a vote if he can't cobble together a coalition, right?

00:51:52.320 Well, that's what happened.

00:51:52.700 You're talking, you're mixing, that's Israel.

00:51:54.180 So Israel with Netanyahu won the vote from everybody, but then tried to put together a

00:52:01.040 coalition government to get above 50% and was unable to do that.

00:52:04.580 So now they have to revote.

00:52:07.240 Hmm.

00:52:09.060 Again.

00:52:09.500 So, but England can just go and just say, hey, he's got a coalition of 60, 70%, but

00:52:16.440 eh, we think everybody should vote on him.

00:52:19.280 Well, if he has that coalition, then he probably will not have that problem.

00:52:22.800 Okay.

00:52:22.980 The issue is though, this is, remember the coalition was built under Theresa May.

00:52:27.120 So will they all stick with Boris Johnson the same way?

00:52:30.840 There's an argument that the answer to that would be no.

00:52:32.960 If they don't, if he does something with Brexit that they don't like.

00:52:35.120 I guess it depends on, he's very popular with conservatives.

00:52:38.480 I wonder how popular he is overall.

00:52:40.580 We hung up the phone too soon.

00:52:41.900 Why didn't you bring this up?

00:52:43.260 I, well, I don't know.

00:52:44.480 It's already confusing enough.

00:52:46.940 Because now I'd like, I'd like to know how popular he is with everybody else.

00:52:50.080 Because I love the guy.

00:52:51.320 I think he's, it's funny.

00:52:52.440 He's one of those guys that I think is well liked, though.

00:52:55.640 I don't necessarily think most people want him running the country.
