Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:00:04.700
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:00:10.680
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:00:16.400
Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:00:20.840
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:00:30.140
Hey, on today's podcast, we're, of course, going to talk about Israel.
00:00:37.660
And is that deception or is this just unbelievable negotiation?
00:00:41.720
I mean, he said you have 60 days and you don't want to see what happens the day after 60 if you don't negotiate.
00:00:48.640
And lo and behold, it was just after midnight, day 61, that Israel went in and took care of business.
00:00:57.420
We give you the real scoop, how we were involved and what it all means.
00:01:01.380
Plus, the military parade and Masterpiece Theater for the unbelievable acting prowess of Senator Warren and Padilla and Cory Booker.
00:01:16.840
Someday, when you finally get your life back from all that pain you've been living with, we got a lot for you to do.
00:01:27.180
And a world that needs good men and women who can stand up, literally stand up and fight for what is right.
00:01:32.720
And maybe you've been saying, someday I'll get back to that.
00:01:44.860
It's designed to tackle the root causes of pain.
00:01:47.740

00:02:27.520
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:32.400
Let me just say this because I have quite a monologue.
00:02:37.820
I spent about three hours on about one o'clock in the morning I started it.
00:02:42.640
And I will tell you, maybe some anger therapy might have been better.
00:02:52.260
And I'm going to unleash that onto all of the...
00:02:56.260
Onto some people that I actually still refer to as friends.
00:03:00.460
I just don't know what the hell people are thinking.
00:03:04.880
But let's start with why this war is not Iraq and yet why it terrifies me.
00:03:14.040
I used to be, you know, in my youth, a little more war happy.
00:03:22.340
We should go and we've got to police the world.
00:03:27.080
And I have learned from, you know, my first 30, 40 years of my life that what I was for was absolutely wrong.
00:03:42.000
For one, it's not only wrong for America, but it is also...
00:03:50.020
I've seen too many people come home broken or not come home at all.
00:03:54.360
And those who do come home, nobody seems to care about them.
00:03:57.200
And I just think it is absolutely abhorrent the way we treat our soldiers.
00:04:01.140
And I've watched our country send generation after generation off to foreign battles with no clear ending.
00:04:12.260
Tell me who our enemy was besides Osama bin Laden for 20 years.
00:04:26.620
And then we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
00:04:29.500
You know, we were told we can't afford to wait.
00:04:33.480
And in the end, whether you believe the cause or not, it became another drawn-out conflict, another wound in our national spirit.
00:04:40.040
And far too many American families were touched by it.
00:04:43.580
And once again, the world is holding its breath.
00:04:47.640
Israel yesterday struck Iran hard, precisely, and quietly.
00:04:53.560
And before the screaming starts from the headlines, the chambers of the UN, the cable news panels, let's stop and ask ourselves a few hard questions, shall we?
00:05:22.160
Well, let me tell you what makes this moment unlike anything else we have faced before.
00:05:31.940
This is not a campaign to topple a regime and then sit around for 20 years trying to rebuild a culture that doesn't want what we have.
00:05:38.700
Even though Iran, the Iranian people, are good people, the Persians are great people, and they do want a life like ours.
00:05:56.020
Against the very real, very stated intentions of a regime run by men who do not think like we think.
00:06:23.160
The Ayatollahs, the supreme leader, the mullahs, the puppet masters of the so-called Islamic Republic and their Sharia law.
00:06:32.420
I have said this for years and years and years.
00:06:34.820
If you don't understand this, you don't understand Iran.
00:06:39.840
They are followers of a branch of Shiite Islam that believes not just in the return of the messianic figure called the Mahadi,
00:06:46.660
but also that his return can and must be, in their words, hastened or accelerated.
00:06:53.880
And the only way to do that is to, quote, using their words, wash the world in blood.
00:07:01.740
You know, that's my first stop on the train and I'm like, I'm going to get off here, please.
00:07:07.360
The highest religious leader who actually is in charge of the entire country, the one who commands the Revolutionary Guard,
00:07:16.700
who fund the terror groups by Hezbollah and Hamas, the ones who train children to chant death to America in the streets,
00:07:24.000
believe the world must be engulfed in destruction and flames to usher in the end times.
00:07:35.000
And that this is the regime trying to build a nuclear bomb.
00:07:39.060
Now, I have a problem with this because I've been talking about this since 2000, maybe 2002.
00:07:47.440
You know, I stopped listening to John Bolton a long time ago.
00:07:50.240
It was a kind of cute little oldie thing that he would, you know, he'd bring up once in a while.
00:07:53.680
But I don't know if they were close to the bomb.
00:07:56.120
I don't know if anybody knows they were close to the bomb.
00:07:58.220
Maybe. I will tell you what Benjamin Netanyahu told me in like 2010.
00:08:05.760
I had a meeting with him and I'm like, are they close to a bomb?
00:08:09.400
But when we believe that they are truly close to a bomb, it doesn't matter what the world will say.
00:08:21.180
OK, so they want a nuclear bomb because they want to wash the world in blood.
00:08:26.600
Now, contrast that with the doctrine of mutually assured destruction that has kept peace between nuclear superpowers for over a half century.
00:08:37.240
OK, the Chinese Communist Party, they don't even want to die.
00:08:41.360
Even North Korea, as crazy as that fat dude is, he doesn't want to lose power and his life.
00:08:48.000
But Iran, they're not afraid of death because they got all those virgins coming their way.
00:09:03.720
So ask yourself, what happens when those beliefs collide with the power of a nuclear warhead?
00:09:09.840
And by the way, you should answer this now because we're going to have to answer this when France topples to the same kind of radicals and when England topples to the same kind of radicals.
00:09:21.040
Because you do not want these regimes with nuclear weapons.
00:09:25.160
Now, with all that said, I don't want my son going off to war.
00:09:29.020
I don't want America again to play the policeman or be dragged into another theater of blood and sand.
00:09:36.860
But I also do not want to be the father who has to tell his children, yeah, we saw it coming.
00:09:45.940
We saw what they were building, but we didn't do anything, you know, because, well, I mean, who are we to say?
00:09:53.020
When the only country most affected by this did something last night surgically, they are the tip of the spear.
00:10:02.620
They're the ones that are going to get speared first, vaporized first, and they're the ones that are like, you know what?
00:10:33.480
Now, I got on the social media spheres last night, and I just gave a few opinions, and none of them were bloodthirsty.
00:10:47.900
But, boy, I got to tell you, I am a warmonger and a Jew lover, I found out, from a lot of people.
00:10:54.860
I've listened to you for years, and I've always known you were a Jew lover.
00:11:00.420
You haven't listened to me for years then, okay?
00:11:06.360
But what Israel did matters because they didn't wait for the mushroom cloud.
00:11:15.000
Tell me the last time our country even that you can say, I used to say this all the time,
00:11:20.460
Look, we have never been in it for land or oil or anything else, and I don't know if I believe that anymore.
00:11:31.960
But are you telling me that our government, we haven't done a war or two here recently where we haven't had greedy eyes on the wealth of another nation?
00:11:44.240
They killed their top scientists, and they killed the leaders of their military, and then they took out the installation that was making the bomb.
00:12:01.920
That is really good, but it doesn't mean that it's, you know, the Middle East isn't going to spiral out of control,
00:12:08.380
and it doesn't mean our streets in Europe or in America are going to get more peaceful, okay?
00:12:24.280
But after he stopped our first foreign war with the Barbary pirates, which was Islam,
00:12:31.140
who just were coming on the seas and taking everybody's ship and their stuff,
00:12:34.580
and then they were enslaving or killing any infidel.
00:12:37.280
Because, you know, you're not a Muslim, and if you won't submit, I can either kill you or use you as, you know, a sex slave or some other kind of slave.
00:12:48.000
And, you know, everybody's like, we got to get out of that war.
00:12:50.820
And so we did, but he said at the end, you know, I just got to warn you, it's our first foreign war,
00:12:56.880
but if we don't understand the ideology that these people have, it will be our last war as well.
00:13:06.300
And I think we are going to find, I mean, look at what's happening in Europe.
00:13:09.800
Look what's happening in our own streets with the Palestinian crap.
00:13:15.080
If you don't think we're going to eventually have a war with Islam, you are mistaken.
00:13:21.940
And I don't want one, because I think it is going to be ugly.
00:13:29.700
Now, I don't want to rush into it. I don't want it.
00:13:42.780
And not every country has people in it that don't want what we, they don't think like, you know, we think.
00:13:53.560
And they have spent two decades slow walking this game, smuggling uranium, building enrichment centrifuges.
00:14:04.580
They are slaughtering protesters in their own streets.
00:14:07.680
The difference is now Israel felt the clock was up.
00:14:11.840
And Israel knew if they waited, there'd be no second chance.
00:14:32.080
I do not want us to get involved in another war.
00:14:38.360
But peace doesn't come from pretending evil doesn't exist.
00:14:43.960
You know, you're not being asked to rush the gates.
00:14:47.880
You're being asked, can you just stop holding the gates open for these people?
00:14:54.140
And that's exactly what is happening on our streets, in our universities, in our business, in our government.
00:15:01.500
We are holding the door open every time somebody else comes across our border.
00:15:06.320
Every time you say, I don't want to get rid of those people.
00:15:08.900
We have 8,000 people that we know of that are here, that are Islamists, that are also on the terrorist watch list.
00:15:20.800
If you don't think that we're going to be fighting this at some point, because we can't seem to get serious,
00:15:26.280
nobody will even say, I can't tell you how much trouble I'm going to be in for saying Islamists are evil.
00:15:55.900
And, you know, what happens is, you know, you have to stop it coming, you know, you have to stop it before it gets a bomb.
00:16:20.040
And I was so happy to see how surgical this strike was.
00:16:31.940
If you've noticed how every real estate agent says the exact same thing, trust me, I'm the best.
00:16:37.680
Maybe, maybe, you know, just like every guy on every dating app says, you know, he loves dogs and hiking.
00:16:43.040
Talk is cheap, but, you know, what matters is, what are you actually doing?
00:16:46.780
Real estate agents, I trust, is not just a clever name.
00:16:49.960
It is a company that I created years ago with my brother.
00:16:52.820
And the name came out of what I said our mission was.
00:16:56.900
You know, we were both of us having problems with real estate agents.
00:17:00.960
We didn't know how to find a good real estate agent.
00:17:05.020
We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country.
00:17:15.760
And we started asking, what makes you so great?
00:17:20.620
And I said, I just want to find a bunch of real estate agents that, you know, I would
00:17:31.340
And, you know, it's we've had about, I don't know, thousands of people on a waiting list.
00:17:36.660
But we keep it very, very tight because we monitor these people.
00:17:43.560
So if you're moving here or across the country or wherever, just contact us.
00:17:48.020
We'll help you find the right real estate agent and make all those headaches go away.
00:17:57.460
Friend of the program and friend, Lieutenant Colonel Retired, Jonathan Conricus.
00:18:09.340
Thankful of everything happening and happy to be on your show and discussing what
00:18:16.300
A lot of people were praying for you last night.
00:18:20.960
I kind of I'm not freaked out, but I'm very concerned.
00:18:24.240
You know, one of the things that, you know, the president, one of the things he really ran
00:18:28.640
and won on is we're going to stop all these endless wars and we don't have an end in sight
00:18:36.580
And this one, while this is your battle and a very important one, it is going to affect
00:18:56.440
And I think the concerns of the Americans that you referred to, they are very valid, that
00:19:03.600
I think what Israel did has the potential to affect significant positive change in the
00:19:11.100
And currently, the ball is in the Iranian hands.
00:19:16.340
They have now the option to choose how to respond to what you, I think, correctly described
00:19:22.320
as a quite a magnificent and unprecedented military strike surprise against Iran, taking
00:19:28.980
out more than 20 of their senior leaders, conducting hundreds of strikes in all across Iran, about
00:19:36.720
eight, nine hundred, a thousand miles away from Israel.
00:19:40.160
We struck and all of our pilots have come home safely.
00:19:44.060
Many months of preparations and many years of collecting intelligence, Mossad and Israeli
00:19:51.400
Air Force cooperating together here, maybe also special forces on the ground.
00:19:56.260
But bottom line, this is a really, I think, an historic operation that will be studied by
00:20:02.360
But we'll leave that aside for a second and address the concerns of people.
00:20:06.280
Now, the Iranians have to decide what are they going to do?
00:20:11.640
They've tried to respond by sending about 100 drones.
00:20:16.680
And now we're going to see how the Iranians are responding.
00:20:19.240
And the president, I think, very correctly, tell them, well, you got the option of going
00:20:24.300
and making a deal because you, the Iranians, are not going to have a nuclear bomb.
00:20:29.200
And if you continue going down the path of violence, then this will end badly for you.
00:20:36.020
Now, in terms of what, you know, the tipping point was, Iran has been dashing for the bomb
00:20:44.900
I think the atomic agency report that verified that Iran is not only enriching uranium to
00:20:53.180
weapons grade and has enough fissile material for at least 10 bombs, but that Iran is also
00:20:59.260
in non-compliance when it comes to their obligations to allow international supervision
00:21:07.620
And I think that and a lot of intelligence that we will, I think, have declassified in
00:21:14.840
And at the end of the day, this is has been, you know, months, if not years in the making.
00:21:19.520
Iran has an open goal to annihilate the state of Israel.
00:21:22.680
They say it clearly in Farsi and their language.
00:21:28.200
And we also know that if we allow them to develop the tools to do so, they might be tempted
00:21:33.840
And that is what Israel has today started to unravel in terms of those Iranian capabilities.
00:21:39.880
So I was a little disappointed today at two Israeli officials.
00:21:44.180
That's all it said in this Axios article that they said that President Trump was instrumental
00:21:52.540
But he and Benjamin Netanyahu were engaged in deception.
00:21:57.920
And I, I read this as I don't think Israel would have done something this massive without
00:22:06.820
But I don't think it's deceptive when the president says you have 60 days to negotiate
00:22:11.600
and you don't want to see what happens on day 61.
00:22:15.460
I don't think that's deceptive to make plans to go in on day 61.
00:22:20.100
He kept giving them the same warning over and over again.
00:22:23.880
Do you read that as deception or a negotiator that is telling you the truth?
00:22:32.620
It's deception in the good way of how to wage war and how to catch your enemy unaware and
00:22:47.900
I think he's been very straightforward, telling the Iranians time and time again, this is the
00:22:54.740
You should relinquish all attempts to enrich material in Iran, and you should allow full
00:23:01.620
comprehensive inspection of all of your sites, nuclear, as well as weapons development.
00:23:07.200
And if you do that, nothing bad is going to happen.
00:23:10.020
And we will probably freeze sanctions and good things will happen to Iran.
00:23:14.340
The Iranian leadership heard that, but didn't do it.
00:23:17.920
And as you said correctly, we are today on day 61 of the presidential ultimatum.
00:23:25.640
Yeah, it's just a president that draws a red line and then actually means it.
00:23:29.060
Ben Rhodes came out today and said, war is breaking out because Donald Trump pulled out
00:23:32.480
of the Iran deal and got humiliated by Netanyahu while trying to negotiate his own.
00:23:37.300
And he's going to have a military parade for his birthday.
00:23:43.300
Because Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran deal?
00:23:46.480
I think that sounds like a very bitter former person of influence who, you know, was part
00:23:55.440
in devising a lousy deal for America, a lousy deal for the world.
00:24:01.620
And he's bitter because the other perspective and the other line of thought is prevailing.
00:24:08.820
And I think that if we look at the current situation in the Middle East, the biggest destabilizing
00:24:14.540
and terror supporting country in the region that has its tentacles or had its tentacles
00:24:20.380
in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and that was trying to develop nuclear weapons, Iran
00:24:27.820
is now being right sized and put in a tight spot.
00:24:32.460
Maybe Mr. Rhodes has sympathy for the Iranian regime.
00:24:37.000
I do not wish to see what happens if that regime is allowed to develop weapons, because I know
00:24:43.500
that they are a genocidal and absolutely crazy regime that might do the most horrible things.
00:24:49.840
And of course, Mr. Rhodes probably doesn't assess it like that because he lives far away
00:24:56.740
But for us Israelis, it is as tangible and as existential as it gets.
00:25:02.920
So I think contrary, I think just one thing, you know, President Trump in his first presidency,
00:25:08.940
he gave the bribe, the brave and correct order to take out Qasem Soleimani, the very important
00:25:16.960
At the time, there was an entire chorus around the world, American media, blaming President
00:25:22.400
Trump for escalating, opening World War Three and all matter of other fabricated nonsense.
00:25:29.760
And what President Trump did, what he ordered and what U.S. troops did was to take out the
00:25:35.640
most important mastermind of Iranian expansionism.
00:25:39.660
And I think that today that is also important because had he been around Qasem Soleimani, I'm
00:25:45.380
pretty sure that the Iranians would have fared better since October 7 and we would have had
00:25:53.020
And I give credit to President Trump for doing that.
00:25:55.460
And I give credit to President Trump for supporting Israel and for working together with Israel,
00:26:01.780
of course, keeping America's interests first and Israel's interests second.
00:26:06.220
That's what the U.S. president should be doing.
00:26:16.620
I hope freedom for the Iranian people is just around the corner.
00:26:20.380
And I hope prosperity for all the people in the Middle East is around the corner.
00:26:24.580
It can happen because the Iranian regime was standing in between that progress.
00:26:30.500
And now there's a different time for the Iranian regime.
00:26:34.540
It would be amazing if we saw the regime actually topple and the people were free because the Persian
00:26:43.080
Let me ask you, you know, we're seeing we're seeing riots on our streets.
00:26:47.700
We're seeing it in Europe and it always has either a communist, socialist, anarchist and
00:26:57.680
The Palestinian protests are growing everywhere.
00:27:00.680
And I just look at this and say this is our future for the entire Western world.
00:27:06.360
Should we be concerned that this activity now, the green lights will be given to, let's say,
00:27:13.680
the 8,000 terrorists that we know are here in America, let alone all over Europe?
00:27:18.640
Yeah, I think that the West Europe to a more severe extent and the US to a certain extent in certain states
00:27:30.540
and certain cities, mostly along the coasts and less inside the country, perhaps barring Chicago
00:27:41.340
But by and large, there's a significant threat to the Western-based system of democracy,
00:27:52.840
And it is being implemented on the ground and carried and pushed forward by many rogue elements,
00:28:00.180
one of them being Islamists that are espousing terrorist ideologies and that deep down do
00:28:06.360
not agree with the Judeo-Christian values that are today governing the world and led by free
00:28:14.840
And they are trying to import their failed system of governance and their outlook on life, which
00:28:23.460
they brought from the Middle East and from other places and enforce that on free democratic
00:28:29.860
And they're abusing the system, the liberties, the freedoms and the rights that democracies
00:28:38.920
They're marching on the streets under the guise of free speech.
00:28:44.740
They are trying to undermine the social fabric of society.
00:28:51.860
And of course, anti-Semitism is always also in that bag of negative things.
00:28:57.100
And I think it is high time that there's a serious debate in the US and in the West.
00:29:03.820
I think the situation in Europe is far worse than it is in the US.
00:29:07.680
And I think Americans can look at the streets of London and Paris and heed warning and say,
00:29:13.440
if we want to reach a situation where the streets are dominated by Islamists and where
00:29:18.700
an ordinary white Christian or Jew or someone who isn't a Muslim extremist cannot walk the
00:29:25.820
streets safely in the streets of their home country, then we better look at what's happening
00:29:34.280
Now, to be clear, I am not branding all Muslims as terror supporters.
00:29:40.400
There are many great Americans who are of Muslim heritage, who are loyal American citizens,
00:29:48.260
But those who do, those who seek to undermine Western democracy, those who seek to undermine
00:29:54.640
law and order and a free and right-based society and to import dark worldviews from the Middle
00:30:02.260
East based on all kinds of extremist ideologies, they should be met with a firm response.
00:30:09.240
And in most cases, they are not met with firm responses.
00:30:31.180
This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:30:36.300
You know, every show today can talk about the theatrics of Senator Padilla and Senator Warren
00:30:45.240
But it takes the special podcast to introduce you to Masterpiece Theater.
00:30:54.980
Tonight, we present a spectacle so sublime, so stupendous, it shall sear itself into the
00:31:04.560
Behold, America's greatest thespians, nay, titans of the stage, Senator Alex Padilla, Senator
00:31:16.240
Prepare yourself for a torrent of fear, a deluge of tears, a veritable hurricane of histrionics.
00:31:24.020
First, witness Senator Alex Padilla as the poor, downtrodden, utterly helpless, yet inexplicably
00:31:34.460
See him bum-rush the stage in a mostly peaceful, chaotic sort of way.
00:31:41.360
Then, Senator Elizabeth Warren takes the stage with her heart-wrenching monologue, which we've
00:31:50.260
Watch as she channels the anguish of a thousand ancestors, her voice trembling with the weight
00:31:56.660
of a nation's sorrow, or possibly just a really bad day at the Capitol cafeteria.
00:32:03.120
And finally, Senator Cory Booker unleashes the full outrage in our climactic opus, The Coming
00:32:12.040
Feel the Earthquake beneath his righteous fury.
00:32:19.320
Is every syllable a dagger to the heart of despotism?
00:32:23.180
Or at least to the heart of anyone who forgets to mute a Zoom call.
00:32:27.940
So, dear audience, gird your loins for an evening and episode of passion, pathos, and possibly a
00:32:37.200
few pulled hamstrings, because this is Masterpiece Theater.
00:32:43.880
We join the action now in California at a Kristi Noem press conference.
00:32:50.260
And in the room somewhere in the back, Senator Alex Padilla.
00:32:58.500
The burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country
00:33:05.360
and what they have tried to insert into this city.
00:33:08.560
So I want to say thank you to every single person that has been able to do this.
00:33:15.760
I have a question for the secretary, because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen violent
00:33:22.100
criminals that you're rotating on your, on your, on your, how dare them, how dare them
00:33:35.100
He's identified himself after he bum rushes the podium for a live press conference.
00:33:43.020
He is not wearing his Senate pin, which would identify him.
00:33:53.680
It looks like somebody you would find, I don't know, sitting in the center of a Wendy's, you
00:34:01.200
And so they get him out of there as they should.
00:34:03.760
I don't know if you know this, but, uh, this was his big stage debut.
00:34:11.300
But before Israel could strike in those waning moments of his fame, Elizabeth Warren takes
00:34:22.900
And here in the episode we call the trail of tears.
00:34:30.640
When Senator Padilla gets pushed, shoved, thrown to the, handcuffed because he is asking questions,
00:34:41.640
because he is engaging in the very oversight that senators are supposed to engage in, then
00:34:48.540
What we're really talking about here is a Trump administration that just wants to shut down the ordinary functions of government.
00:35:02.100
And I watched with horror on this video, seeing these agents grab my colleague, my fellow senator
00:35:11.160
from California, grab him, push him out of the hearing.
00:35:14.960
And I am, I am shocked, shocked by how far we have descended in the first 140 days of this administration.
00:35:25.380
Because if you can make Alex Padilla forcibly kneel before this executive, when does it stop?
00:35:36.360
If you can force him to kneel to his knees, finally, when does it stop?
00:35:47.220
This is a day in which the character of this body will be defined.
00:35:53.260
I say, dare I say, a day which will live in infamy.
00:36:00.920
Or even introduce myself for, you know, I'm just going to crash the press conference and
00:36:13.300
When did, when did the Senate lose its decorum?
00:36:18.120
I mean, I expect this now from the, you know, from the Congress.
00:36:23.260
Generally, we've always known there are a few clowns in Congress, but now the senators are
00:36:28.460
I mean, there's nobody better at it than Cory Booker, though.
00:36:49.300
You've been looking back at our history and throughout it.
00:36:52.840
At any point in the Federalist Papers or in our founding documents, was there a path created
00:36:59.680
for a senator to talk to a government official other than interrupting a press conference?
00:37:05.760
Has anyone ever thought of a way for them to meet and discuss an issue of importance?
00:37:10.140
No, it's in Section 2, Subject Section 3 of the Constitutionist part where they say, you
00:37:23.500
got questions, you got questions, you got to storm the room.
00:37:33.200
Say, hey, just by the way, I'm going to go talk to, my name is Senator Aspedia.
00:37:36.780
Or if you did say that and they said, sir, this is a closed press conference, she's not
00:37:43.280
taking any questions, this is just a live broadcast, you can wait for her, she'll talk
00:37:47.300
to you after, and then you say, I have a right to storm the room.
00:37:53.660
How pathetic is it that they only had this little, they had this pathetic little 20 minute
00:38:00.840
Oh, I know, I will say, the greatest party hurt by Israel's actions overnight was not
00:38:08.940
Iran, but it was Alex Padilla's fundraising, because this was his big plan, this was his
00:38:15.280
He was going to take in millions of dollars and get all this attention and get all these
00:38:19.320
MSNBC hits and all the things that every senator seems to go to Washington for these
00:38:25.680
And he was going to have this wonderful wave of attention and he said he instead remained
00:38:34.080
He's going to remain a giant, pathetic, empty nothing of a senator that I might note, you
00:38:41.300
as a Radio Hall of Fame member and a person who follows this every day did not even know
00:38:47.800
I mean, I mean, it was kind of like, you know, this guy named Alex Padilla, maybe, I don't
00:38:56.900
know, heard the name, he's a senator, perhaps, from, is that the, where, is that the ball club
00:39:11.500
I mean, he, and it's funny, like the successful version, I suppose, of all of this is Cory
00:39:16.600
Like he did this, he did this, you know, a big speech a few months ago that, you know,
00:39:22.840
everybody was, was talking about and, and then he, and that, you know, is on the heels
00:39:28.120
of his, I think, 2% presidential run effort, which was impressive as well back in the day.
00:39:34.540
So I think, you know, he's got a huge future as well.
00:39:37.380
Elizabeth Warren, kind of a trail of tears that we saw there.
00:39:44.840
She was just, she was just going into her kitchen to grab herself a beer and her husband's going
00:39:56.700
Well, the fascinating part about this is obviously they're bad at governance, but they're also bad
00:40:01.740
They're, these, they're not convincing people that anyone could take seriously, even if they
00:40:07.900
Well, they're, they are, all they are now is just storyline.
00:40:14.920
You're watching a play when you're watching the Democrats in the, the left.
00:40:22.180
They're getting ready for the big, no Kings thing on, uh, on Saturday, right?
00:40:37.660
Well, they make sure that they say that he's acting like a tyrant in Los Angeles.
00:40:42.920
Uh, then they say he's acting like a tyrant because he just scooping people up in the
00:40:47.940
Then he's acting like a tyrant because he has a giant missile parade and nobody does that
00:40:53.040
a missile parade, nothing, nobody, but North Korea does that.
00:40:59.800
They know that they're going to be pushed back.
00:41:04.400
Uh, and, and why, what do they, what do they get out of it?
00:41:07.880
They all run to the run to the social media boxes and go, Oh my God, he's a tyrant.
00:41:15.360
That's all they're doing is they're setting this up for him to be a tyrant and it's not
00:41:20.060
You're just not, I don't, I mean, I'm not buying it.
00:41:22.760
I, I mean, as well as they're really stupid people in the country that, you know, look at
00:41:26.560
that and go, I think those are real tears coming from that, that squaw.
00:41:31.000
I think those are real squaw like tears, by the way, I heard the New York times, uh, the
00:41:42.500
They did the whole thing on the missile parade.
00:41:54.980
We're talking to expert on parades, uh, on the missile parade.
00:42:01.320
Well, a lot of people are upset because no democracy does this only dictators.
00:42:06.720
Well, I'm going to actually going to get to that here in a second.
00:42:09.520
Uh, but we don't do these things and except, except for Wilson FDR Eisenhower, JFK's inauguration,
00:42:17.500
none during Vietnam and then after the Gulf War with George, George W. Bush, but we haven't
00:42:26.920
Also, I would like to point out the, you know, the VFW and the foreign legion every year and
00:42:31.640
thousands of parades all around the country, but you know, they don't usually have tanks,
00:42:35.980
but it's a really bad idea because it's also Trump's birthday, you know, now it takes them
00:42:42.500
almost eight minutes before they also say, and it's the army's 250th birthday.
00:42:48.320
They never say, and by the way, we're going into the 250th anniversary, um, of America,
00:42:56.900
And then they say it's a bad idea because Washington DC is a dangerous place and people
00:43:05.120
What, since when is Washington DC dangerous to the New York times?
00:43:10.880
And the new socialist mayor who defunded the police and painted BLM on the streets has that
00:43:21.940
You can't do that military parade because it's too expensive.
00:43:25.900
Now, my problem is, uh, you won't cut anything from the budget, even the corruption.
00:43:31.420
So how am I going to take you seriously about the budget?
00:43:34.540
And then my favorite is, which is they started with, they said, you know, Trump got this idea
00:43:39.860
because he was over in France and I can't explain France, but you know, no, no, no democracy
00:43:47.320
Uh, this, uh, we, we don't ever do this, you know, Republicans, I mean, sorry, uh, republics
00:43:53.600
Uh, you know, they don't have these military and they went on and on and on about how it
00:43:58.780
doesn't happen except for our closest cousin, England every year.
00:44:09.580
And that's the official birthday celebration of the King or the Queen.
00:44:13.700
And one of the oldest military traditions in the UK.
00:44:17.720
Uh, and they, they have all these guys, the military, and they do all these drills and they
00:44:22.840
all march out into them, you know, and it's not even on his birthday, his birthday.
00:44:29.620
Anyway, they don't have any missiles, but they've been dragging the troops out there,
00:44:34.020
So, uh, so Prince Charles can stand there all day and just look at him and go, yep,
00:44:59.340
Um, uh, and they also do it in another democracy as well.
00:45:07.180
Uh, but so it doesn't just happen in North Korea.
00:45:15.080
When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,
00:45:27.480
Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
