00:00:00.000
Hey, it's Pat Gray for Stu on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:02.640
Today on the podcast, we'll speak with Mike Pompeo
00:00:05.680
and talk about CAVPAC or the Champion American Values PAC.
00:00:11.420
Their goal is to support conservative candidates
00:00:14.680
ahead of the midterm election and the 2024 presidential election.
00:00:19.360
Also, President Biden continues to make the U.S. look bad
00:00:23.540
while he's hanging around the Europeans at the G7 summit.
00:00:31.100
that she's been secretly working with Project Veritas
00:00:33.940
and is working towards exposing the company for silencing the reporters.
00:00:38.320
Apparently, she's going to release behind-the-scenes footage.
00:00:41.180
We'll also look at what cases the Supreme Court is taking on soon.
00:00:44.940
And finally, Glenn is hosting his first art show in Park City,
00:00:49.140
the Park City Fine Art, with all proceeds going to Mercury One
00:00:55.660
And guaranteed, that'll be better than Hunter Biden's finger paintings.
00:00:59.480
All this and lots more coming up today on the podcast.
00:01:09.840
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:13.900
I am thrilled to have the former U.S. Secretary of State, former CIA Director,
00:01:23.620
and Chairman of CAVPAC, which he'll talk about here in just a second,
00:01:37.800
I appreciate it, and I really, sincerely mean I really appreciate everything you have done
00:01:45.960
for the country and, honestly, for the world, especially Israel and the Middle East.
00:01:51.620
What you guys pulled off is absolutely amazing,
00:01:55.220
and I hate to see it torpedoed like it's being, but thank you for that.
00:02:03.880
We did do good work, important work for the American people,
00:02:07.100
important work for the people of Israel and the relationship between our two countries.
00:02:10.980
It has been, I'll be honest, it has been a tough 140 or whatever the heck number of days it is
00:02:15.240
to watch them already begin to undo what was really going to create prosperity and peace in the region.
00:02:20.440
I think the Abraham Accords will withstand it, but it's going to take a lot of effort,
00:02:24.760
a lot of effort from people who are diligent in making sure that those relationships don't deteriorate
00:02:30.600
I have to tell you, you know, Joe Biden, even going in to meet with Putin,
00:02:38.720
is a little like Minnie Mouse trying to have a civil conversation with Peg Leg Pete.
00:02:49.900
How do you suggest those meetings are going to go?
00:02:58.100
I watched President Trump go through it when I met with Chairman Kim.
00:03:04.120
It was really sad because the setup is always so important.
00:03:07.440
Here the setup was we began by joining the Paris Climate Accords,
00:03:11.340
telling Vladimir Putin he'll be the world's biggest energy producer.
00:03:15.040
And by lifting some sanctions on some of his buddies,
00:03:18.240
it's not that we can't find places we can work with Vladimir Putin.
00:03:21.200
We certainly did, but you've got to be clear and you've got to be tough
00:03:24.380
and you have to be cognizant of the risks and the malign activities engaged.
00:03:29.180
And I fear that that's not what we're going to see in these next 24 hours in this meeting.
00:03:35.340
I have to tell you, I don't know if I'm sure you did see what the president of Poland said,
00:03:43.120
but he's like, nobody in America is consulting with us.
00:03:47.800
And Biden is no Reagan and Putin is not Gorbachev.
00:03:53.740
And we're going to be the ones that pay the price.
00:03:56.420
You know, it's especially poignant coming from the polls.
00:04:01.960
You remember, Glenn, there was the polls and Lecloessa and Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan,
00:04:13.980
And to hear the polls now saying they fear that the United States is not going to be up to the task
00:04:19.660
is really a historical myth and dangerous, not only for the polls in Eastern Europe, but for us as well.
00:04:33.220
I've never heard a president say, well, it's a private issue and the president should just,
00:04:39.120
or I mean, these companies, they have to decide whether they pay the blackmail.
00:04:50.660
And it came through a commercial attack, right?
00:04:53.760
It came through an attack on a commercial enterprise, but the capacity for pipelines to move product
00:04:59.160
around our East Coast is an American national security interest to suggest for a moment that
00:05:03.980
we're going to hand this over to some private entity.
00:05:06.540
Oh, goodness, it's about like handing over your social media, these big old nasty social media companies.
00:05:11.300
We have to help these businesses protect their systems.
00:05:15.660
And then it has to be a national effort to impose costs on those who put American lives at risk
00:05:21.100
by denying us the bill to move product around our world, our country.
00:05:24.460
So is there a strong enough connection between these hackers and Putin that we know Putin at least
00:05:31.840
knows about it and is okaying it with a wink and a nod?
00:05:35.600
Well, I can't tell you about this particular interest in incident and what we know, because I was out of government.
00:05:42.760
But I could say this all the hallmarks of what took place here suggest this is the folks who are operating from Russian soil
00:05:49.840
in a space that is almost certainly underwritten by one of Vladimir Putin's buddies, the oligarch system.
00:05:56.280
And Putin at the very least is turning a blind eye to it and probably more.
00:05:59.980
And so it's appropriate to hold Vladimir Putin and the Russians accountable for the actions taking place inside of their own country.
00:06:13.940
It looks like, well, it doesn't look like I know it just happened.
00:06:18.500
State Department was investigating COVID and the Wuhan lab and everything else.
00:06:24.860
And Biden just took that and shut that down and moved it over to the CIA.
00:06:31.720
My theory is, is that that way he doesn't have to release anything because it can, you know,
00:06:36.720
intelligence can be, you know, can be held as top secret.
00:06:42.640
Was there evidence on this Wuhan lab when you were in office?
00:06:47.980
And are we ever going to hear what really happened?
00:06:52.100
So Glenn, I have a unique perspective, having led both the CIA and the State Department consecutively.
00:07:00.360
When I was a secretary of state, when the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world by the Chinese Communist Party,
00:07:06.960
we began to move heaven and earth to try and figure out what happened.
00:07:10.120
We had the tools to try and figure out if this wasn't a part of a bioweapons effort on behalf of the CCP.
00:07:17.800
And so, Glenn, while I can't tell your listeners today, we know the answer with certainty.
00:07:20.840
I am confident that this came from the virology lab.
00:07:26.200
We also know enough to know they're continuing to cover it up.
00:07:28.340
And so we know plenty to hold them accountable.
00:07:31.020
There's no evidence that this administration wants to confront that.
00:07:34.600
Three million people dead around the world, hundreds of thousands in the United States.
00:07:38.240
Families still here in the United States upended by this thing.
00:07:41.740
Kids having trouble coming out of these lockdown, crazy lockdowns.
00:07:44.840
The Chinese Communist Party has to be made to pay a price at the least a price sufficient to make sure they'll do what they can to make sure something like this never happens again.
00:07:55.940
Talking to Mike Pompeo, you are starting a what's called a CAVPAC, CAV Champion American Values, and also kind of a tip of the hat to your time in the Army as a Calvary officer.
00:08:15.540
But it's CAVPAC, and it is looking to get real conservatives and real conservative candidates into the 2022 cycle.
00:08:29.160
So, Glenn, I was a businessman in Kansas back in 2010 when Barack Obama was taking our country in the wrong direction.
00:08:37.480
I gave up that wonderful life with my family back in Kansas to go run for Congress to throw Nancy Pelosi out.
00:08:46.940
It's my effort from the place that I find myself today to lead.
00:08:54.780
It sounds the siren when there's a real risk to something that matters an awful lot.
00:09:00.060
So we're going to go find conservative candidates, true believers in American workers and our American middle class.
00:09:07.040
We're going to find them, and we're going to help them be successful getting elected, not just to take back the House and the Senate, but city council races.
00:09:14.120
We did a state legislative race in New Hampshire last week.
00:09:18.160
We've got to make sure that we drive this message and help good candidates get elected.
00:09:23.200
And if you go to CAVPAC.com, I think you'll see there's real action and a real heart for delivering good outcomes for our country.
00:09:31.860
I'll tell you, Mike, I'm not only looking for people that understand the average worker and how business is done,
00:09:42.100
but I'm also looking for somebody who will stand up for the Constitution because that thing is gone.
00:09:47.400
I mean, we are not following it at all, it seems right now.
00:09:51.160
And both parties seem to have, you know, seem to play not an equal part, but a part in ignoring it when they want to.
00:10:02.480
Glenn, there's no doubt the party that I've been a part of for decades now has its own challenges.
00:10:10.620
When I was at the State Department, we engaged in a mission, you know, to your point, the State Department lost its way talking about human rights.
00:10:20.260
And so we created this commission designed to go back and talk about our founding.
00:10:23.440
What is it that we really believe and why do we believe and how do we put forward these ideas?
00:10:27.480
Trying to get my diplomats around the world to understand that we shouldn't apologize for America.
00:10:33.900
So we went back and regrounded the work that we were doing.
00:10:40.380
It needs a regrounding in these first principles, the things that you and I learned in schools.
00:10:48.640
If we get that wrong, I joke, but I'm three-quarters serious.
00:10:55.180
The biggest risk today is inside of our schools.
00:10:57.500
If we don't get that right, if we're not brave enough and fearless enough to go stand up and demand that we teach our kids about the greatness of our nation, then this next generation will take us to a path where, you know, as our founders knew, we could lose the republic.
00:11:12.380
So yesterday, I'm big on the Great Reset from the World Economic Forum.
00:11:19.100
I mean, almost every politician around the world in the West is using Build Back Better, which is from the World Economic Forum.
00:11:26.960
Yesterday, Biden gave a speech, and I'm going to talk about it here in a few minutes, but he gave a speech, and he said, you know, for us to be able to best China, we all have to work together.
00:11:43.680
All of them were right directly from the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum.
00:11:51.680
Do you think that there is an effort underway, that these corporations and the government are starting to put a little private-public partnership together?
00:12:07.200
Biden continuously says, you know, it's a test.
00:12:12.020
We're going to see in the next couple of years whether or not a democracy like ours can survive against these authoritarian states.
00:12:26.800
That's the story, you know, when President Biden talks about going back, we're back.
00:12:33.460
That story that you hear is managing American decline.
00:12:41.200
We've got to get it right, and we have to be fearless in doing so.
00:12:44.000
When I hear them say that China presents a challenge, you know, a challenge is figuring out whether you want to go to the store at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock.
00:12:53.260
The threat is the Chinese Communist Party, and I saw the statement that came out this week.
00:12:58.700
You know, it's okay, but it doesn't begin to comprehend the threat that the Chinese Communist Party presents.
00:13:05.780
It'll take American leadership to get this right.
00:13:08.720
We're going to have to demonstrate that our businesses are prepared to sacrifice, and our businesses are prepared to be the technology leaders, and we're not going to suffer the Chinese Communist Party censorship and cancellation for our American companies.
00:13:22.560
If we get those things right, Glenn, America's going to push back against the threat from Xi Jinping and his commie buddies.
00:13:30.360
We've done it before, and it's just going to take American leadership to get it right.
00:13:34.060
Sadly, we don't have a president that I think is prepared to do that today.
00:13:38.400
Do you stay in touch with President Trump, and if so, how's he doing?
00:13:45.160
He wants to be part of the fight the same way I'm trying to work every day to be part of the fight.
00:13:50.480
He knows that the things that we did these past four years made lives for ordinary Americans better.
00:13:56.280
I think he's saddened to see what they've done in these first 100 days, too.
00:13:59.160
We knew when you got President Biden, we knew what we were in for.
00:14:01.920
I don't think any of us believed that the left had captured him so much that they would move this far, this left, this fast.
00:14:10.860
We've got to win in 2022 and show on the runway.
00:14:14.600
So you are looking for people that want to run and need some help and some advice.
00:14:21.400
You're looking for anybody who is running in 2022 at CavPAC, C-A-V-P-A-C.com, correct?
00:14:32.960
Again, Mike, thank you so much for everything that you have done as CIA Director and Secretary of State.
00:14:58.160
We all have to consider running, especially at the local level.
00:15:08.980
It has to have just the strongest people you can possibly imagine who know what critical race theory is,
00:15:18.500
who knows what America really stands for, and do not move.
00:15:25.900
It is very, very easy, believe it or not, to win.
00:15:59.600
Something that will make me look skinny, because I just want treats all the time.
00:16:08.620
You actually have to do the work, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:12.920
It satisfies my sweet tooth, but it's a protein bar, but not like, you know,
00:16:17.240
that's like eating stuff at the bottom of my chalkboard, usually.
00:16:25.100
If I'm eating a protein bar as a treat, come on, you've got to know it's good.
00:16:31.460
The new flavors that are coming out all the time, they're fantastic.
00:16:34.700
Go to BuiltBar.com and use the promo code BEC15 for 15% off your order.
00:16:41.100
Your mouth is going to water just looking at them.
00:16:50.000
I can't thank you enough for all of your support.
00:16:52.500
There are so many people that are just have been rooting for me on my art project,
00:17:05.820
And as I announced yesterday, it's going to be at Park City Fine Art.
00:17:10.400
You can go to the website now and find out more about it at ParkCityFineArt.com.
00:17:16.480
We announced earlier this morning that we are going to have an official show.
00:17:23.520
It's so funny because they're like, and we'll have the artist reception at.
00:17:28.840
And I'm like, yep, that's what we should do, an artist reception.
00:17:35.200
But anyway, we're going to be doing that July 26th through July 31st in Park City at Park City Fine Art.
00:17:48.580
I think it's up right now, but they're going to be taking it down soon.
00:17:52.340
And I'm going to be there on Saturday, July 31st.
00:17:55.980
So the last day of July, I will be there in Park City at Park City Fine Art.
00:18:01.840
The proceeds that I make from the art, I want you to know, go to Mercury One,
00:18:06.720
the American Journey Center for the Preservation of History,
00:18:16.840
So all my profits will be going to Mercury One.
00:18:27.780
Okay, let me go real quickly now, my friend, to the former Biden COVID-19 czar.
00:18:41.440
How much of this pandemic was preventable and how?
00:18:44.840
Well, of course, we would have had a pandemic here in the U.S. no matter what.
00:18:51.780
But look, we can count the mistakes, and I think it's important that we do for nothing else so we don't repeat them.
00:18:58.520
We obviously had a set of technical mistakes with the testing and the PPE that we know about.
00:19:04.560
But if we're honest, we also had two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life.
00:19:09.300
One were just plainly political leadership mistakes.
00:19:11.560
We denied the virus for too long out of the Trump White House.
00:19:16.240
There was too much squashing of dissent and playing on divisions.
00:19:19.240
But I'd also think we all need to look at one another and ask ourselves,
00:19:24.540
And in many respects, being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another
00:19:28.440
to get through this and to save more lives is going to be essential.
00:19:32.580
And that's something that I think we could all have done a little bit better on.
00:19:39.960
You know, the sacrifice of 40% of all businesses now being closed, I mean, permanently out of business,
00:19:49.760
only 40%, but I don't know if that sacrifice was good enough.
00:19:53.740
Or the fact that teen suicide now is up at 31%.
00:19:58.800
I think a few more of us could have sacrificed our children.
00:20:03.840
You know, throw it up on the altar of Anthony Fauci.
00:20:13.000
Who do you think you are telling us that we should sacrifice more?
00:20:22.060
That is so reminiscent of Jimmy Carter in those days, isn't it?
00:20:31.140
Everybody on the left, the media and everything,
00:20:38.240
Because when he shut down Europe, when he shut down travel from China,
00:20:42.320
you all belly ached and said, oh, my gosh, what a racist.
00:20:46.400
And you're on TV saying, come on down to Chinatown.
00:20:55.620
Now, you know, Lori Lightfoot, who is just delightful.
00:21:01.320
I wouldn't say a fox, but, yeah, she's just delightful.
00:21:06.420
And she's, you know, taking some heat because she was only meeting with,
00:21:19.680
She didn't want to meet with any white reporters.
00:21:22.940
Now, yesterday she came out and she said, or the day before yesterday,
00:21:26.120
she came out and said, you know, really, that only lasted two days.
00:21:31.760
Well, it only lasted two days because everybody on the planet hammered you for it.
00:21:37.860
Here she is speaking to John Berman, the Chicago Mary Laurie.
00:21:43.620
By the way, Laurie Lightfoot, is she Gordon Lightfoot's mom?
00:21:58.260
Because I've always, you know, I've looked at Lightfoot,
00:22:01.260
and I think Native American, but I never thought of Gordon Lightfoot.
00:22:06.900
So does she know about the sinking of the Edmonds Fitzgerald?
00:22:11.040
Well, yeah, because it's a legend that lives on from the Chippewa on down,
00:22:20.320
Okay, here's Gordon Lightfoot's mom, Laurie Lightfoot.
00:22:25.340
I'm the mayor of the third largest city in the country.
00:22:28.120
I'm an African-American town woman, to state the obvious.
00:22:31.140
Every day when I look out across my podium, I don't see people who look like me.
00:22:35.920
But more to the point, I don't see people who reflect the richness and diversity of the city.
00:22:40.960
So, yes, I started a long overdue conversation about diversity in newsrooms and coverage.
00:22:51.420
You reflect with a critical and important lens the news of the day.
00:23:10.540
Is he Native American or is he Indian or Hispanic?
00:23:43.260
So I think there might be some of that going on, too.
00:23:51.360
By the way, for those who have been waiting, waiting for the follow-up to White Fragility,
00:24:03.620
And you have to read it because you won't understand the second one.
00:24:06.600
There is another volume coming out in the series.
00:24:14.820
And it's Robin DiAngelo's new book I've been waiting for.
00:24:20.000
I mean, I think the whole country has been saying, Robin, you can't leave us on that cliffhanger there at the end of White Fragility.
00:24:36.020
And this one is written directly to white people.
00:24:40.760
As a white person, she identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm.
00:24:59.540
It's just I'm glad somebody's finally willing to say it.
00:25:02.600
She said those patterns include rushing to prove that we're not racist, downplaying white advantage, romanticizing black, indigenous, and other peoples of color.
00:25:22.780
Sometimes I pretend to be all three at the same time.
00:25:39.940
You know, I have to tell you, in my last HOA meeting, which some say I never attend, but, oh, I'm there.
00:25:48.340
We were specifically, well, we didn't actually use these words, but we're like, how can we keep this neighborhood segregated?
00:26:00.180
And that's when a lot of the guys who are black that live in my neighborhood were like, excuse me?
00:26:07.380
And I'm like, oh, oh, you're probably not black.
00:26:15.000
And then the feeling that we've all had, she explains, the feeling, just feeling immobilized by shame.
00:26:26.780
And I think that's what is happening to my son.
00:26:31.400
I thought it was just sheer, unadulterated laziness.
00:26:37.220
But no, I think that, no, I think he's immobilized by shame.
00:26:44.260
And she, what's great is she writes candidly about her own missteps and her own struggles, you know, and to, she does it to encourage white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage.
00:26:59.420
The, because you're going to need it in that lifelong commitment of accountability.
00:27:13.340
Second chapter is the one I think I'm buying it for.
00:27:16.020
Why it's okay to generalize about white people.
00:27:30.820
One that, you know, doesn't beat you over the head and kill you.
00:27:38.180
Why is it okay to generalize about white people?
00:27:45.080
I don't think you need more than the headline on that one.
00:27:59.020
You know, you got to be, you got to, sometimes you have to set a city on fire to get people's attention.
00:28:13.420
I wonder if that chapter, that's chapter five in Robin DiAngelo's new book, Nice Racism.
00:28:22.980
I wonder if that includes how all of those white progressives that set up BLM, you know,
00:28:30.420
the global network, how all those white people set that up and then built everybody who gave
00:28:40.640
You know, remember we told you, but of course, Robin DiAngelo was saying, hey, BLM, donate
00:28:52.500
Well, and Patrice Cullors, uh, obviously the co-founder of BLM.
00:28:57.080
She made a few bucks on the, on the side too, which was.
00:29:18.600
And she knows how to make money as all Marxists do.
00:29:22.140
Uh, you steal it from, you steal it from others.
00:29:42.220
His estranged daughter, when his child support ended, he dropped off his final child support
00:29:50.160
payment, dumping 80,000 pennies on his wife's lawn.
00:30:06.580
Uh, not as hard probably as picking them up out of the grass.
00:30:10.940
Uh, and then bringing, and then bringing them to the bank to have them count all of them.
00:30:26.180
I thought the banks could say, no, we're not accepting that.
00:30:31.400
I don't, I'm not sure about the legality of that.
00:30:34.740
I, I don't know how you turned down legal tender though.
00:30:39.860
And especially since he paid her, not the bank.
00:30:51.840
Um, here's the, uh, here's some good news for you.
00:30:56.720
CNN's hour long interview, which clips were played all last week.
00:31:01.520
And people were talking about, it was an interview with president Barack Obama and, uh, it was
00:31:10.080
needed at CNN because their ratings are really bad.
00:31:14.660
Uh, uh, and the interview did, uh, uh, nothing for the bad ratings at CNN.
00:31:25.620
Half a million people, uh, probably extra for the Anderson Cooper 360.
00:31:34.460
Uh, uh, by the way, uh, that was half of what Tucker Carlson had, uh, the same night.
00:31:43.380
So president Obama, you're not really heated, uh, very much.
00:31:50.620
Because most people on the left, and this is an honest observation by somebody who used
00:31:57.900
to work for him, uh, they told me privately that, um, people were not with him.
00:32:05.140
The Marxists were not with him because they felt that he had sold out to Hillary Clinton
00:32:12.240
and the Clinton gang, uh, which in some ways he did.
00:32:16.800
I mean, not from my perspective, uh, cause I think he did a lot of damage to the country,
00:32:25.880
Why nobody had any passion because he had become a guy that was there to play the corporate
00:32:31.260
game and make lots and lots of money, which, which he did.
00:32:38.500
Have you seen what Nickelodeon is, uh, doing Nick jr.
00:32:46.380
Has released videos, uh, championing things like trans queer and pansexual inclusion.
00:32:54.740
Uh, one video that sparked a lot of outrage depicted a cartoon version of a drag queen singing about
00:33:03.680
various LGBTQ I a plus two groups loving each other.
00:33:13.000
So proudly on blues clues and you a show for two to five year olds.
00:33:19.500
And I think that's, those were the clues that I was hoping blue would find.
00:33:24.060
I don't know about you, Pat, but, uh, absolutely.
00:33:26.560
I want, don't you, doesn't everybody want their two to five year old in touch with their sexual
00:33:34.780
Finally has, has somebody has the guts to say it.
00:33:39.020
Now, uh, the viewership has dropped from 1.3 million average viewers per week to 372,000.
00:33:57.540
So, uh, looks like paramount and, uh, and Nickelodeon are in some gosh darn it financial
00:34:05.580
Did you see John Stewart, uh, on, uh, what's his name?
00:34:11.380
They really obnoxious, not funny guy, Stephen Colbert.
00:34:25.880
Uh, no, I just talking about the, he was talking about the vaccine, right?
00:34:30.020
Uh, or the, uh, actually where the virus came from.
00:34:36.100
So this was the, the, yeah, this was the return of the Colbert show to the Sullivan theater
00:34:40.360
because, you know, the vaccine is out now and, uh, well, he walks on stage, uh, and he
00:34:47.240
gets, you know, a standing ovation and then he grinned, uh, grinned, uh, widely as he
00:34:54.520
embraced his band leader, John Batiste, which I, I have all of his album.
00:35:00.900
And, uh, he said, we'd never really left, but we certainly weren't here.
00:35:06.900
I'm really happy, uh, because, uh, we've all been vaccinated.
00:35:11.120
I know I'm not going to get COVID, um, and, uh, a lot of people didn't take good care of
00:35:17.620
themselves during the pandemic, but I want you to, I want you to meet a good friend, John
00:35:24.900
And John Stewart walked out and listen to this.
00:35:27.800
I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science.
00:35:33.040
Science has in many ways helped ease, uh, the suffering of this pandemic, uh, which was
00:35:52.600
And that's kind of, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:36:03.040
What do you, what do you, what, what, what do you mean by that?
00:36:05.640
Do you mean like, there's a chance that this was created in a lab as an investigation?
00:36:10.920
Well, I, I, I, I, I, if there's evidence, I'd love to hear it.
00:36:13.860
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China.
00:36:30.380
That's just, that's just a little too weird, don't you think?
00:36:34.520
And then they ask the scientists, they're like, how did this, so wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab.
00:36:47.780
I, you, you, the name of your lab, if you look at the name, look at the name, can I, let me see your business card.
00:37:03.840
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.
00:37:07.700
Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it squeezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus.
00:37:19.640
Like, okay, okay, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, oh my god, oh my god, there's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.
00:37:36.040
Like, oh, I don't know, maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean or it's the chocolate factory.
00:37:46.400
That's funnier than Jon Stewart's been in 30 years.
00:37:54.840
It's brilliant and it's the truth and notice the audience is all for it and Colbert is not.
00:38:03.080
Colbert is like, well, I, you know, if there's actual evidence, I'd like to hear it.
00:38:07.940
No, you know, Stephen, that's the funny thing about being a comedian.
00:38:12.140
You sometimes play on the obvious to make people laugh.
00:38:16.940
Now, I know you haven't, well, you, you have tried a long time, but you haven't made that happen, I think, ever.
00:38:27.180
But Jon Stewart is not only making people laugh about it.
00:38:30.980
But he's stating the obvious and the audience is, is with him.
00:38:38.940
Every time Colbert tries to stop him, the audience, he's like, no, no, no.
00:38:47.500
Now, let me give you Chuck Schumer, because he is so woke, so woke.
00:38:53.780
And I want to give you a clip of what he was talking about when he was doing an interview.
00:39:00.540
He was wanting to build some extra housing for those in need.
00:39:07.140
And this initiative actually will house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets.
00:39:20.000
I mean, it's, I have found that my whole career.
00:39:23.500
They wanted to build, and when I first was assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children.
00:39:49.800
And, you know, they won't say anything about that.
00:39:53.740
But I'll bet you that what I just said will be taken out of context.
