Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the podcast. It's Monday. We've got a lot. We start with a take on the State of
00:00:05.260 the Union and what the president said about socialism, that socialism would not take root
00:00:12.700 here in the United States. I wanted to pick that back up and start there because we've got a lot
00:00:18.520 of socialists in today's world. We also had Pat in. He talked about what some of the fascistic
00:00:24.300 freedom of speech things around the world, what's happening there. And who wrote the
00:00:29.780 new Green Deal or the Green New Deal? Alexandria Ocasio's chief of staff. We're going to look
00:00:35.780 at him a little bit. Interesting guy. Very sexy. We can say that. Very hot. He has a very nice
00:00:41.600 beard. He wears tight shirts. Yes. All the things that you'd expect out of Alexandria Ocasio.
00:00:46.620 There's also something else that maybe people should pay attention to. And we covered that.
00:00:51.360 And polar bears being slammed by global warming yet again. And if we have time, we're going
00:00:58.900 to squeeze in just a couple of comments with Cardi B, all on today's podcast.
00:01:11.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:15.180 Home title fraud is a big problem and a big part of that, right? I mean, how do you protect your
00:01:23.980 own? You buy a home and you have all this equity and then what? And then someone comes in and tries
00:01:28.680 to take it all and steal it from you. Sounds great, doesn't it? There is one person that stands at the
00:01:34.760 gate, literally protecting your home, the home of loved ones. It's hometitlelock.com. Go to
00:01:40.940 hometitlelock.com. $100 search for free when you sign up. Stu has it. I have it. We have it not
00:01:48.420 because they're an advertiser. We have it because we believe in this. Hometitlelock.com. Hometitlelock.com.
00:01:56.260 You remember the, towards the end of the speech, the president said one thing that I thought was
00:02:00.300 stunning that a president had to say, and I was glad he said it. He took an unequivocal stand
00:02:06.060 against socialism. And if you remember, right, he said, America will never be a socialist country
00:02:12.660 and all the Republicans. And I think there were a couple of people in the democratic party that
00:02:19.640 stood up for that. We will never be a socialist country. I want to point this out in a different
00:02:28.780 way because most people in the press have ignored it. Um, we have said, yes, finally, somebody
00:02:37.080 is saying it, but what is it that he actually said when he said the United States will never
00:02:46.220 be a socialist country? The feeling in the room was palpable, but what was it? He actually
00:02:55.300 said, because we've heard him say it before, just in different words. In fact, we've heard
00:03:02.980 it said by every single member of Congress, just in different words. Those words, I will
00:03:15.020 protect and defend the constitution of the United States. That's what he said. We'll never
00:03:24.060 be a socialist country. I will protect and defend the constitution of the United States.
00:03:32.520 What, why that was so shocking. And I didn't think of it at the time, why that was so shocking
00:03:38.300 is because it's been a long time since we've heard any politicians say those words outside
00:03:44.060 of their oath that they quickly forget. I will protect and defend the constitution of the United
00:03:50.780 States. Now the problem is democratic socialists. Their agenda here in the U S is crazy. Do we have
00:04:02.160 that audio? We just played from Cory Booker on the new deal, the new green deal. Listen to this.
00:04:09.600 Our planet is in peril and we need to be bold. It's one of the reasons why I signed onto the resolution.
00:04:18.060 I co-sponsored the resolution for the green new deal. And there's a lot of people now that are
00:04:22.020 blowing back on the green new deal. They're like, Oh, it's impractical. Oh, it's too expensive. Oh,
00:04:26.700 it's all of this. If we used to govern our dreams that way, we would have never gone to the moon. God,
00:04:33.180 that's impractical. You see that ball in the sky. That's impractical. We are a nation that has done
00:04:39.600 impossible things before. And my parents taught me reach for the reach for the moon,
00:04:44.640 reach for the stars. This is, this is the problem. You notice how they're framing this,
00:04:49.160 that this is a moon shot, that this is something that we're going to do together. And it's, it's,
00:04:54.820 it's fantastic. The moon shot was something that we, that we did together through private companies.
00:05:06.180 We did it together. Now there were public things like NASA as well. And we have debated that forever.
00:05:15.720 In fact, we've just gotten out of that. And we now have things like SpaceX, which are showing us that
00:05:23.080 they can do things much faster, much cheaper and better than even NASA. But what we're talking
00:05:31.440 about with the new green deal is something entirely different. See, our constitution says there is a
00:05:39.380 bill of rights. And these are the things that the people own and the government must never do these
00:05:47.560 things ever. What the green, the new deal, the new green deal does is in Ocasio-Cortez's own words,
00:06:01.920 takes the second bill of right, which was attempted by FDR and expands that. Well, we,
00:06:12.600 we never passed the second bill of rights. Americans, they don't even know there was an
00:06:20.920 attempt to do this. And what it was, was to say, there is a new bill of rights. Forget about all
00:06:27.220 those other ones. Here's the bill of rights. The United States government believes that you have a
00:06:32.540 right to a house. You have a right to a job. You have a right to food. You have a right to medicine
00:06:40.400 and medical care. Well, we've already passed the medical care. They're doing it in bits and pieces.
00:06:45.940 Now, this is a large sweep to be able to take over the entire economy. This is not constitutional.
00:06:55.400 Now, that's why you see progressives, they hate the constitution and the declaration of independence.
00:07:03.420 They hate it. They need it to be destroyed. That's why they try to convince people that it's a living
00:07:10.600 document, that it's out of date, written by dead old white men. The constitution is a barrier, you see.
00:07:20.520 It's a barrier to fascism, to socialism, to communism, to all forms of statism,
00:07:27.420 because the constitution is written as you are the king. You are the one who is in charge of your
00:07:36.760 life. And democratic socialists hate it. And they think if the people democratically choose
00:07:44.140 socialism, then somehow it makes it fair and acceptable. But that's exactly what the constitution
00:07:50.600 prevents. No matter how the people might vote, the constitution makes the voting part irrelevant.
00:07:57.400 Slavery, by the way, even if it's won by a popular vote, is still slavery.
00:08:06.440 Popular vote doesn't matter. Doesn't matter how you try to spin it. The people want slavery.
00:08:12.040 Well, the people can't have slavery. The constitution inherently limits the power of democracy to ensure
00:08:19.880 that our natural God-given rights as individuals are never subverted by popular opinion.
00:08:27.400 This is the antithesis of the socialist doctrine.
00:08:35.960 Our founding documents identify and protect the rights and the freedom of the individual against the state.
00:08:44.520 Socialism and socialist doctrine protects the rights and interests of the state and the collective over the rights of the individual.
00:08:52.580 You know, very few people have the courage to speak out and face the criticism.
00:09:01.860 I don't know what it is about Donald Trump, but he seems to thrive on criticism.
00:09:08.740 And in an era where standing for the rights of the individual and standing up for America first leads to rampant accusations of racism and misogyny and bigotry and greed.
00:09:21.560 It kind of makes a guy who thrives on criticism, kind of the only guy who could possibly weather this storm.
00:09:34.760 By saying America will never be a socialist country.
00:09:39.200 What Donald Trump said last week is, we are going to continue to live under the U.S. Constitution.
00:09:51.760 What he said last week, what he said on the platform with Nancy Pelosi grinning at him,
00:10:04.560 was something I haven't heard a politician say after they've taken the oath.
00:10:11.860 I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
00:10:20.660 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:10:29.220 The Green New Deal.
00:10:30.480 Or the New Green Deal.
00:10:31.800 Whatever, which one ever it is.
00:10:33.000 It'll be the Green New Deal.
00:10:33.940 They're trying to keep New Deal together because that's innovative Democratic policy.
00:10:37.340 You see, there's this great idea of a New Deal that is so new and exciting to all these millennials
00:10:43.460 who probably don't know that there was a New Deal and then a new New Deal,
00:10:47.720 which was rejected by the American people.
00:10:51.040 This is the final play, I believe, to subvert the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:10:58.140 This is the play to reverse the Bill of Rights and change our system into, and there's no hyperbole here.
00:11:08.240 Read it for yourself.
00:11:09.760 You change the system from a charter of negative liberties against the government to a charter of positive liberties,
00:11:19.500 the things the government must do, and you have the Soviet Union Constitution, which, by the way, was changed like every 10 or 15 years.
00:11:28.660 Mm-hmm.
00:11:30.060 So one of the big things is they will, of course, get us off of fossil fuels completely within, like, a decade,
00:11:37.620 which is pretty aggressive considering the amount that we use them now.
00:11:41.180 I guess we still don't know an answer, like, will we be able to use plastic cups?
00:11:46.060 Will we?
00:11:46.860 Well, no, we won't be able to use them.
00:11:47.900 No, I guess not.
00:11:48.980 Well, if we're not getting fossil fuels, we also won't be able to take medicine because a lot of medicine is coated in, you know, petrochemicals.
00:12:00.000 And so, you know, to be able to take your medicine in that capsule, you need fossil fuels.
00:12:06.480 So if we're not using fossil fuels, you won't be able to take any capsules.
00:12:09.900 Minor things like that.
00:12:11.040 Yeah, no big deal.
00:12:11.640 99% of cars would be taken off the road because they want all electric.
00:12:16.500 Every building, every structure in America would need to be retrofitted with all sorts of different eco materials,
00:12:23.500 which by the time you finish the job would be completely outdated anyway.
00:12:27.980 But they're talking about only tearing down or gutting every structure in America.
00:12:33.240 Every structure in America.
00:12:35.620 Now, this is what Cory Booker just said.
00:12:37.400 You know, people say that's crazy.
00:12:39.260 Yeah, it is crazy.
00:12:40.920 You're getting rid of all cars within 10 years, all fossil fuels within 10 years.
00:12:46.500 You want to tear down or gut and rebuild every single structure in the United States of America in the next 10 years.
00:12:57.100 Yeah, there's a difference, too, between impossible and impossible on inspiring photos, right?
00:13:04.500 Like there's those little hang-in-there posters that you can get that inspire you at work.
00:13:08.580 You hang them on your wall, and it's like, you know, resilience.
00:13:11.460 And then there's like a nice little quote about it, and there's somebody who's like climbing a mountain.
00:13:14.840 Right.
00:13:15.040 Like that, yeah, you could say that's impossible, but that's not really the term, what really impossible means.
00:13:20.280 You look at the moon.
00:13:21.580 Look, it's a straight shot.
00:13:22.820 There's almost no traffic.
00:13:24.060 You can get there.
00:13:24.800 It's hard, right?
00:13:25.600 That's not impossible.
00:13:26.860 Right.
00:13:27.540 Right.
00:13:27.760 Impossible is getting rid and retrofitting every single structure in the country, plus taking 99% of the cars off the road and replacing them with a whole new fuel system within 10 years.
00:13:38.580 That's impossible.
00:13:39.340 A fuel system that you don't have yet, by the way.
00:13:41.780 Right.
00:13:42.040 A fuel system that we don't even know what it is.
00:13:44.880 Also, you know, replacing it, I would assume that because they didn't ban coal, that we would be using coal, but coal is dirtier than the combustion engine today.
00:13:59.240 Well, obviously, coal is not going to be a factor, Glenn.
00:14:01.560 In fact, not even nuclear power is going to be a factor, even though it has zero emissions.
00:14:04.920 They want that gone, too.
00:14:06.820 The funniest part about this is how they say they're going to pay for it.
00:14:09.860 Now, of course, that's the Cory Booker, you know, he's indignant over something like a question like that.
00:14:15.440 How are we going to pay for it?
00:14:16.500 Well, are we going to pay for it?
00:14:18.280 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the same thing.
00:14:20.100 Well, we're going to pay for it because we're a rich country and we can pay for it.
00:14:22.860 In the document, they say they will pay for it the same way they paid for the New Deal, which, in case you're following along, is $50 trillion of debt.
00:14:30.020 That's how they paid for the regular New Deal.
00:14:32.280 The old-timey New Deal has caused us $50 trillion of debt.
00:14:37.920 So that's how they're going to pay for the Green New Deal.
00:14:40.700 They actually cited as a positive example the New Deal, which is causing almost all of our debt problems.
00:14:48.120 But go ahead.
00:14:49.120 That's a good way to do it.
00:14:49.960 No, it's just like you to say these things like that.
00:14:56.100 I was quoting them, so I don't know if it was just like me.
00:14:58.480 It was more like just like them.
00:14:59.740 No, you can't quote them and still not be a conspiracy theorist.
00:15:03.420 Didn't you learn that over the weekend?
00:15:06.420 That you can still quote them and be called a conspiracy theorist.
00:15:11.860 So what one of the guys was saying that was on her team was that this is not going to just cause debt.
00:15:21.840 They're going to be able to print this money.
00:15:23.760 They're going to print this money, and they're going to print this money, and they're going to buy this stuff.
00:15:29.280 But remember, it's too few goods being chased by too many dollars, right?
00:15:36.760 Too many dollars chasing too few goods.
00:15:39.460 That's inflation.
00:15:40.720 But they say if we are tearing down all of America, those dollars are going to be chasing goods.
00:15:49.000 We have to make those goods, so we're going to be fine.
00:15:53.660 There's not going to be hyperinflation because we can just print the money and make the goods.
00:16:00.800 This is China's philosophy, right?
00:16:03.160 This is how you come up with ghost cities where no one lives.
00:16:06.160 Yes.
00:16:06.460 You spend hundreds of billions of dollars on cities with skyscrapers that remain empty because no one lives there or wants to live there.
00:16:14.020 And it eventually fails.
00:16:15.220 And it eventually fails.
00:16:16.120 And they're seeing that now as, you know, they're already seeing the beginnings of that.
00:16:20.040 And their people are feeling the beginnings of that.
00:16:22.720 And if you have a complete control over the government and complete control over every person in your country, you can get away with that for a little while.
00:16:29.580 Now, just so we have the Green New Deal, you know, really covered, we just want to let you know that it also is banning all airplanes.
00:16:39.200 Yes, that's true.
00:16:39.980 We did forget about that.
00:16:41.620 In 10 years.
00:16:42.780 Now, isn't she revising that now?
00:16:44.300 She's saying we wouldn't necessarily.
00:16:45.940 No, we'd phase them out.
00:16:48.180 We'd phase them out.
00:16:49.600 Because phase those things with the 40-year lifespan out over 10 years.
00:16:53.440 Yeah.
00:16:53.700 That's okay.
00:16:54.400 We're just going to phase them out because we're going to find new technology.
00:16:58.160 In the next 10 years, we'll probably, and I'm quoting, have solar technology for solar planes.
00:17:05.720 Better get above those clouds pretty fast.
00:17:08.320 Yeah.
00:17:08.520 Yeah, that's a, yeah, that's a, yeah, that's a pretty super light and efficient batteries too.
00:17:16.600 Yeah, really light and really efficient.
00:17:18.820 Really efficient.
00:17:19.240 But again, like I always question this because they always say that conservatives are anti-science.
00:17:24.800 Okay, that's a big claim.
00:17:26.200 We're anti-science.
00:17:26.920 We don't care about science.
00:17:27.860 Mm-hmm.
00:17:28.220 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:33.420 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:17:55.540 Pat Gray now joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear anytime, wherever you find your podcast.
00:18:02.620 Or you can also listen to him live prior to this broadcast on the Blaze Radio and Television Network, blazetv.com slash Beck.
00:18:12.660 Okay, Pat Gray.
00:18:14.440 Yes.
00:18:14.880 I heard driving in a story today from Great Britain.
00:18:19.020 Yeah.
00:18:19.240 And you said it's coming here, and it absolutely is coming here.
00:18:26.840 The only reason why they're ahead and the only reason why it's not here is because for the time being, we have the First Amendment.
00:18:33.680 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:35.120 But that's quickly being done away with, as we see every day in the news.
00:18:39.660 I mean, sure, you've got freedom of speech, but you can't have your job.
00:18:43.040 I mean, come on.
00:18:45.360 That's crazy.
00:18:46.400 And California just contemplated, and did they pass the law?
00:18:50.280 I'm trying to think, where if you use the wrong pronoun in school, in public schools, you can be arrested.
00:18:57.960 Is that a problem?
00:18:58.640 And fined.
00:18:59.580 Wait, if I use the wrong pronoun, I can be arrested?
00:19:02.880 Well, in Great Britain, a 38-year-old mother was arrested in front of her children and locked up for seven hours and intensely interrogated after referring to a transgendered woman as a man online.
00:19:20.040 Wait, she didn't beat the person?
00:19:22.760 She didn't shoot the person?
00:19:24.620 She didn't torture the person?
00:19:26.880 She referred to the person as a man online.
00:19:31.360 Wow.
00:19:33.360 And you arrest her for that?
00:19:34.720 Sure.
00:19:34.900 And that's different from a bullet how?
00:19:37.440 Well, in that it didn't hurt or kill anyone.
00:19:41.560 I mean, it hurt feelings, perhaps.
00:19:43.840 But it used to be sticks and stones would break your bones, names would never hurt you.
00:19:47.440 That's not the case anymore, especially in Great Britain.
00:19:50.020 But again, it is coming here.
00:19:51.380 I mean, we see it every day.
00:19:53.080 Three officers detained her and quizzed her at a station at the station for seven hours for dead naming.
00:20:00.100 Now, that's...
00:20:01.840 Told you.
00:20:02.400 Yeah, dead naming.
00:20:03.340 Told you.
00:20:04.020 Isn't that great?
00:20:04.640 I love that expression.
00:20:05.760 Yeah, dead naming.
00:20:07.080 You can't dead name people.
00:20:08.660 Now, what dead naming means is you cannot say anything about Caitlyn Jenner.
00:20:17.240 You can say about Caitlyn Jenner.
00:20:19.940 But you can't say Bruce Jenner.
00:20:21.180 What?
00:20:21.760 That's a dead name.
00:20:22.660 That's a dead name.
00:20:23.380 That's a dead name.
00:20:24.620 How dare you even bring it up?
00:20:26.140 Once you mention Bruce Jenner, you're dead naming Caitlyn.
00:20:29.240 And that name is dead.
00:20:31.940 Despite the fact that that dead name was a gold medal winner in the Olympics.
00:20:38.320 That would be like if Adolf Hitler would have, on the last day of the war, said, I'm a woman.
00:20:47.320 I'm Gertrude Hunselfleip.
00:20:50.840 And I want everybody to know I'm Gertrude Hunselfleip.
00:20:54.100 And you'd go, wait, you're Adolf Hitler.
00:20:56.820 How dare you?
00:20:58.320 You dead named him.
00:20:59.260 Oh, her.
00:21:00.860 Her.
00:21:01.200 You dead named her.
00:21:02.140 That is a different life that never happened.
00:21:05.340 Well, to the point where in documentaries about the Olympics, they now will say Caitlyn Jenner, who at this time was named Bruce Jenner.
00:21:16.480 And it's like, well, Caitlyn Jenner would not have qualified for the event.
00:21:19.980 If she was a woman, she would not be able to have been in the event that she supposedly won.
00:21:24.020 You can talk about Bruce Jenner's accomplishments, but you are not to connect them to Caitlyn Jenner.
00:21:29.480 You can't do that.
00:21:31.080 That's dead naming.
00:21:32.740 You can't.
00:21:33.280 So they're not the same person.
00:21:35.140 You can't have Caitlyn Jenner show up for an appearance to celebrate the Olympic victory.
00:21:39.100 They're not the same person.
00:21:39.780 No, they're not the same person.
00:21:40.780 I think that Caitlyn Jenner would disagree with this.
00:21:43.240 Wouldn't Caitlyn Jenner be like, hey, wait a minute.
00:21:45.820 Like, I think Caitlyn Jenner would disagree with almost all of this crap.
00:21:50.780 Caitlyn Jenner, I mean, is one person who makes a lot of sense on a lot of this crap.
00:21:59.700 And that's saying something.
00:22:02.140 But I don't think that Caitlyn Jenner is the person that wants to put anybody in jail because you're like, oh, it was Bruce Jenner.
00:22:09.880 Weren't you Bruce Jenner at one time?
00:22:12.240 Put him in jail.
00:22:13.200 That is not Caitlyn Jenner.
00:22:15.220 I think Caitlyn Jenner would say, yes, I was.
00:22:18.300 But I'm not anymore.
00:22:19.680 Yes.
00:22:20.140 And that's the way it should be.
00:22:23.120 Yes.
00:22:23.640 Because your eyes don't deceive you.
00:22:26.520 The history books are not wrong.
00:22:28.340 This all happened and we all know it.
00:22:31.400 So you go to jail now in Great Britain.
00:22:34.020 You go to jail if you call if you tweet somebody the wrong pronoun.
00:22:39.040 That's crazy.
00:22:40.180 Oh, my gosh.
00:22:41.340 I mean, would you have ever as weird as the world has been, especially since 2009 when Obama took over?
00:22:48.440 I could have never predicted something like this.
00:22:51.820 This gender thing is so out of control and upside down.
00:22:56.260 It's all encompassing, too.
00:22:57.620 It is.
00:22:58.200 It's all encompassing.
00:22:59.020 It's the same with the new Green Deal.
00:23:00.900 Yeah.
00:23:02.240 There are the Green New Deal.
00:23:03.820 This is all encompassing.
00:23:07.600 This is to change the Constitution into a Constitution of positive liberties, which ruins it.
00:23:16.580 It's not the Constitution anymore.
00:23:17.780 No, it's everywhere else.
00:23:19.560 It's why the Canadians.
00:23:21.040 I asked Gad Saad, who I think we're going to try to expedite his podcast and maybe put it out this week.
00:23:28.720 Oh, really?
00:23:29.200 We're going to try.
00:23:31.560 Is that your way of telling us to do that?
00:23:33.280 No, I wrote somebody.
00:23:35.200 Yes, but take it as that.
00:23:36.720 I wrote to somebody on Friday and asked if we could expedite that.
00:23:40.820 But he's remarkable.
00:23:43.740 And I said to him, why is it that it's all the Canadians that are standing up?
00:23:48.320 Where is academia here in America?
00:23:50.120 And there are a few academics that are standing up.
00:23:52.700 But Canada is on the war path.
00:23:56.120 And he said, because we don't have the illusion of freedom of speech,
00:23:59.940 you guys have the First Amendment and you think you'll always have it.
00:24:05.740 We know we don't have it.
00:24:07.720 And so if we don't fight for it, we're going to lose it.
00:24:10.140 That's a really good point.
00:24:10.580 Right.
00:24:10.800 That's a really good point.
00:24:11.980 Same in Britain.
00:24:13.060 And what's scary is you just think you're always going to have it.
00:24:16.780 Yeah.
00:24:17.000 And unless you even know it, you won't have it.
00:24:20.640 And I'm telling you, this is the most radical Congress ever elected.
00:24:25.940 Oh, no question.
00:24:29.040 There was a tweet put out because of this whole Green New Deal
00:24:36.040 and the back and forth with Ocasio-Cortez.
00:24:39.160 And how that was a lie and it was made up.
00:24:40.920 And yet every 76 congressmen have signed on to it.
00:24:45.160 Including a bunch of them that are running for president.
00:24:47.200 Yeah.
00:24:48.000 76.
00:24:49.880 76 congressmen, senators, and presidential candidates have signed on to it.
00:24:54.460 That's getting rid of cars.
00:24:56.360 That's getting rid of airplanes.
00:24:58.080 Within 10 years.
00:24:59.180 That's decimating every house.
00:25:02.600 Trying to stop cow farts.
00:25:04.240 Every house.
00:25:05.420 All of it.
00:25:05.840 So there was this big thing about the cow farts and whether or not it's a job
00:25:11.380 for those who won't work.
00:25:12.700 That's what we're arguing about.
00:25:14.580 We're arguing about if the cow farts were in there or whether they were
00:25:19.780 guaranteeing a job for people who were unwilling to work.
00:25:23.900 That's your problem, America?
00:25:26.980 So anyway, the guy who put it out is her chief of staff.
00:25:33.340 Do you know who the chief of staff is?
00:25:35.840 Do you know how radical that guy is?
00:25:40.180 I actually thought of Van Jones this weekend and thought, dude, I think you're
00:25:45.680 probably on our side.
00:25:47.200 I think you are starting to look like a conservative.
00:25:51.220 They've over-tinted windowed us to the point where Van Jones looks like a
00:25:54.980 conservative.
00:25:55.380 And I mean that sincerely.
00:25:59.300 I think Van Jones is probably not welcome anywhere near Ocasio-Cortez and her people.
00:26:09.540 I know he got lots of heat for working with Jared Kushner on the criminal justice reform
00:26:15.380 stuff.
00:26:16.100 I mean, the Democrats didn't like it.
00:26:17.620 Yeah.
00:26:17.840 How dare you work with them and cross that line?
00:26:20.680 I mean, it is amazing.
00:26:21.780 I mean, that's how far we've come that fast.
00:26:24.000 We were pointing out that Van Jones had all these past beliefs and he hadn't really shunned
00:26:31.360 them yet when it comes to communism and socialism.
00:26:33.760 Now, that's the mainstream position of the Democratic Party and Van Jones is no longer welcome.
00:26:38.240 And that is phenomenal to me.
00:26:41.980 Absolutely phenomenal.
00:26:43.960 I heard you talking about the State of the Union address last week where the president
00:26:47.880 said we will never be a socialist country.
00:26:50.120 Can you imagine a Democrat saying that?
00:26:52.140 I can't think of a single Democrat who would declare that.
00:26:55.140 You can't.
00:26:55.900 Not with 76% of the 76 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal.
00:27:01.720 That can't.
00:27:02.300 You can't.
00:27:02.840 You can't.
00:27:03.960 That is fascism.
00:27:05.740 Well, what?
00:27:06.180 Three of them stood up when he said it?
00:27:07.940 I think three of them stood up.
00:27:10.080 I mean, think about it.
00:27:10.620 We've only had one Democratic president since the Democratic president was on the stage
00:27:15.480 saying the era of big government is over.
00:27:18.180 Yeah, jeez.
00:27:19.000 That's one Democratic president ago.
00:27:21.860 You couldn't elect Bill Clinton in the Democrat Party now.
00:27:26.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:27:26.440 Well, no.
00:27:26.660 Let alone JFK.
00:27:27.340 For different reasons, too.
00:27:28.900 Yes.
00:27:29.420 Still.
00:27:30.240 Now they don't like him.
00:27:30.960 I mean, I guess that's partially because of his shenanigans when it comes to women.
00:27:36.600 When the Me Too thing.
00:27:38.260 But also, I think he doesn't fit ideologically anymore.
00:27:40.820 No.
00:27:41.440 He doesn't.
00:27:42.060 He doesn't.
00:27:42.760 When are the regular Democrats going to wake up?
00:27:45.520 And I don't think they will because the press is covering for all of this.
00:27:52.880 Listen to this.
00:27:53.740 Fact checkers sparred with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over their alleged bias.
00:27:59.220 But it ended on a high note.
00:28:02.120 Okay.
00:28:02.880 Okay.
00:28:03.140 It talks about beyond the fracas.
00:28:05.240 The episode touched off a larger and public back and forth about fact checking.
00:28:09.580 How claims are chosen and the standards used in checking them.
00:28:12.860 That's because of Ocasio-Cortez in a Twitter thread.
00:28:17.260 Ask how fact checkers do their work, their rules, and whether she's being treated fairly
00:28:21.340 compared to other high profile officials like White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
00:28:26.760 The fact checkers answered, tweeted out their rules of engagement, and explained how she
00:28:31.180 was not being held to a standard different than anyone.
00:28:33.760 And from there, the congresswoman pivoted away from conflict.
00:28:38.580 She called fact checking critically important and said it was important for everyone to know
00:28:44.020 the rules and thank the fact checkers for their work.
00:28:47.840 The Washington Post fact checker responded, this is classy, and I appreciate it.
00:28:57.360 As confrontations over fact checking go, the outcome was as close to a win-win that can
00:29:02.400 be had.
00:29:03.680 Ocasio-Cortez's cordial exit let her reclaim some high ground, even if her original tweet
00:29:12.480 is still there, the fact checkers got a high profile opportunity to explain how they do it
00:29:19.640 and why.
00:29:20.720 Oh, good.
00:29:21.300 Oh, that's good.
00:29:21.780 Oh, good.
00:29:22.360 Are you kidding me?
00:29:23.700 Did you read David Harsani, who used to work for The Blaze?
00:29:26.340 Yeah.
00:29:26.580 Did you read his article on how biased these fact checkers are?
00:29:29.280 Oh, yeah.
00:29:29.800 And the way they cherry pick their facts and how they spin everything?
00:29:35.740 It's just the fact checkers are not fact checkers.
00:29:43.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:29:56.220 Well, we know now because it was, you know, because you can't hide on the internet.
00:30:02.560 They went back and forth all weekend about, no, I didn't say cow farts.
00:30:07.460 That wasn't something we put in there.
00:30:09.100 No, no, no.
00:30:09.980 We didn't say that whether you're willing or not willing to work, you'd get money from
00:30:14.800 the government.
00:30:15.460 No, no, no.
00:30:16.060 We didn't say anything about that.
00:30:17.820 First, misdirection.
00:30:20.560 Why argue about something of such nonsense when you're talking about a complete reversal
00:30:26.600 of the Bill of Rights?
00:30:27.780 And that's not my words.
00:30:29.240 That's their words.
00:30:30.140 This is addition, in addition to Franklin Roosevelt's second Bill of Rights.
00:30:39.920 Well, we didn't have a second Bill of Rights.
00:30:42.220 America rejected it.
00:30:44.040 Why?
00:30:45.120 Because it reverses us and makes us into a socialist or fascistic state.
00:30:51.220 A state where you might own public production, but the state guides you.
00:30:59.840 That's fascism.
00:31:03.560 The other is communism, where the state owns all of the means of production.
00:31:10.600 And only for a while, because then it gives it to the people.
00:31:13.140 Remember that.
00:31:13.960 And it always happens that way.
00:31:15.520 It gives it right to the people.
00:31:16.380 Well, this is the people's plant, although none of the people actually have a say in
00:31:20.440 how it's run.
00:31:21.120 Well, they do give it to people.
00:31:22.440 It's just usually the people at the very top that are in the government.
00:31:26.120 They're the ones that wind up getting it in the end.
00:31:27.820 Okay.
00:31:29.340 So, Saikot, I know I'm going to butcher his name, and I apologize for it.
00:31:34.720 Chakrabarti is the—
00:31:37.820 My favorite of the Chakrabarti family.
00:31:39.300 Thank you.
00:31:41.320 He is Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff.
00:31:47.960 And I just want to show you how arrogant and comfortable they are.
00:31:53.080 You remember when I was in last week, last Tuesday, I went to the State of the Union,
00:32:00.580 and I told you afterwards, what was stunning to me was the arrogance and how radical this
00:32:10.620 class was.
00:32:12.820 This is—I'm telling you right now, Van Jones looks like, you know, a puppet in one of Mr.
00:32:20.360 Rogers' kingdom plays.
00:32:23.500 He is nothing compared to this incoming class.
00:32:28.980 And we're going to show you some examples of that.
00:32:32.420 But I just want to show you, you know, you look to somebody and you say, who are their
00:32:37.160 heroes?
00:32:38.120 Who are their heroes?
00:32:39.420 You know, who do they spend time thinking about?
00:32:43.100 Who are they—who are they surrounding themselves with?
00:32:46.540 For instance, behind me is a painting that I did this weekend of Abraham Lincoln.
00:32:57.220 And when I'm painting, I'm generally painting something that is uplifting, something that
00:33:05.740 somebody I admire, etc., etc.
00:33:08.560 That's the way people are.
00:33:13.040 You don't generally wear things or surround yourself with pictures of people you despise.
00:33:20.040 Nowhere in the Democratic Party are there pictures of me and my family on their desk, unless
00:33:26.620 they're just focused on destroying me.
00:33:29.340 Nobody's like, you know what?
00:33:31.200 I'm going to wear a Glenn Beck t-shirt.
00:33:33.240 Ben Jones doesn't own one.
00:33:34.280 So who does—who does Saikot—who is—who is he willing to wear a t-shirt?
00:33:48.700 And that face is on there.
00:33:50.500 Now, we have seen people that wear Che Guevara.
00:33:54.260 Che, of course, we know is a brutal killer.
00:33:57.060 Hated homosexuals.
00:33:58.500 Hated African Americans.
00:33:59.720 Brutal, brutal killer of artists and poets and writers and press.
00:34:08.520 He was a psycho.
00:34:11.740 Although he's kind of acceptable.
00:34:15.500 So as I'm looking at the—I'm looking at the website of Ocasio-Cortez, and I'm trying
00:34:24.320 to figure out who wrote this Green Deal.
00:34:27.620 Well, the guy who put it out and who is marked as the author on the PDF is her chief of staff.
00:34:38.840 So who is he?
00:34:42.140 Well, he's a hot hunk.
00:34:43.760 That's who he is.
00:34:44.980 Oh, you should see him.
00:34:46.140 He's a hot hunk.
00:34:46.900 Well, looking at the hot hunk t-shirt—pictures that are going around, you know, where all
00:34:53.540 of the women are saying, oh, look at him.
00:34:55.240 He's a hot hunk.
00:34:56.700 I noticed that he's wearing a t-shirt of somebody that I thought, who is that?
00:35:03.900 Well, Stu, have you ever heard of—and again, I'm going to butcher the name—
00:35:12.240 Nataji Subhas Chandra Bose, I think.
00:35:19.620 Okay.
00:35:19.900 That just seemed like a lot of letters you mixed up.
00:35:22.120 Yeah, well.
00:35:22.760 So he was a guy that in 1928, he started the Indian National Congress, 1928, 1929, somewhere
00:35:37.140 in that.
00:35:38.100 And what was happening in the world in 1928, 29?
00:35:41.400 Well, there was a big explosion, kind of like there is now, of nationalism, communism, extremism,
00:35:50.060 fascism, and nationalism.
00:35:53.420 So he was a nationalist, and he started the Indian National Congress in 1929.
00:35:59.360 And he had everybody—there was 2,000 people in this—and he had everybody march in these
00:36:06.920 new uniforms that he had made.
00:36:09.440 Does this sound familiar?
00:36:10.260 Who else in 1920s was getting people together under a national socialist flag, making uniforms
00:36:18.000 and having them march in these grand parades?
00:36:22.560 We'll get back to him in a minute.
00:36:25.540 Gandhi saw this in 1928 and said, this is an absolute circus.
00:36:30.700 But Gandhi would later have to take a stand.
00:36:33.680 And in 1935, this guy was—this guy was a full-fledged fascist and was calling for a dictator.
00:36:45.380 He wrote a book—and see if this sounds familiar to you, Stu.
00:36:49.360 He wrote a book you might have heard of, or it might sound familiar.
00:36:53.900 It was called Indian Struggle.
00:36:59.580 Struggle?
00:37:00.280 Like a Kampf, or as it were.
00:37:02.940 Yeah.
00:37:03.480 Like a Mein Kampf.
00:37:05.040 Mein Kampf.
00:37:05.320 Mein Kampf.
00:37:05.540 Mein Kampf.
00:37:06.380 This is Indian Kampf.
00:37:07.640 Indian Kampf.
00:37:08.140 Indian Kampf.
00:37:09.580 Right, okay.
00:37:10.380 You know, and the struggle also, Jihad.
00:37:14.440 Okay, so he writes, The Indian Struggle, when Hitler is writing, My Struggle, they both are
00:37:25.660 talking about fascism.
00:37:27.520 In 1935, he decides he's going to bring this book to one of his heroes, Benito Mussolini.
00:37:35.000 Now, the reason why he left India is because Gandhi and Nehru were against him, and they
00:37:45.460 said, we have no place for you.
00:37:49.420 There is no place for the kind of violence and the kind of system that you are asking for.
00:37:56.300 Gandhi said that national socialism and communism, you can't blend these two things.
00:38:06.560 You can't go either direction because they're both wrong.
00:38:11.760 So he's chased out by Gandhi.
00:38:14.160 Now, I want you to just understand, this guy has a choice between Gandhi and Mussolini and
00:38:21.960 Hitler.
00:38:22.400 He chooses Mussolini and Hitler, not Gandhi.
00:38:29.820 So he goes over to Mussolini, gives him a book, then he goes over in 1941.
00:38:36.640 So there's no doubt who Hitler is in 1941.
00:38:43.300 He goes over in 1941 to meet with Herr Hitler, and they meet.
00:38:48.820 And he meets with, I think it was Goebbels, and the Nazis give him his own stormtroopers.
00:38:56.760 Isn't that great?
00:38:57.600 And his own little radio facility called Radio Free India.
00:39:02.520 So he can spill his propaganda, his anti-Gandhi, anti-Nehru propaganda, pro-national socialist propaganda
00:39:12.680 into India.
00:39:14.300 He then goes over to the imperial state of Japan, and he sides with the Japanese, and the Japanese
00:39:21.240 also give him stormtroopers, if you will.
00:39:24.300 In 1943, he put together the provisional government of a free India.
00:39:32.820 He declared himself head of state, prime minister, minister of war, and minister of foreign affairs.
00:39:38.380 He expected to continue this after the war was won by the Japanese and the Nazis.
00:39:44.060 And he insisted on absolute loyalty to him and execution and torture of those who disagreed
00:39:54.600 with him.
00:39:56.040 He, in the same year, he talked about how India needed a ruthless dictator, not just to get
00:40:04.820 rid of the English, but a ruthless dictator to rule for at least 20 years after liberation.
00:40:12.480 He says, as long as there is a third party, these dissensions will not end, they will continue
00:40:18.760 to grow.
00:40:19.860 They'll disappear only when an iron dictator rules over India for 20 years.
00:40:24.980 For a few years at least, after the end of British rule in India, there must be a dictatorship.
00:40:30.440 No other constitution can flourish in this country, and it is so to India's good that
00:40:36.180 she be ruled by a dictator to begin with.
00:40:39.280 He no longer liked just fascism.
00:40:45.220 He was now a national socialist.
00:40:47.920 He liked the Nazi leaders.
00:40:56.040 How do you pick, how do you pick Hitler over Gandhi?
00:41:03.780 That's pretty hard to do.
00:41:05.140 It's pretty hard to do.
00:41:07.860 Now, when you get up in the morning, and you have a choice of any t-shirt on the planet
00:41:15.660 you could wear, and you are Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, and you have a choice of t-shirts.
00:41:26.720 You could pick a Gandhi t-shirt.
00:41:28.880 You could pick a Lincoln t-shirt.
00:41:32.160 You could pick a Nike t-shirt.
00:41:34.660 You could pick a Colin Kaepernick t-shirt.
00:41:38.520 But you instead pick the t-shirt depicting the face of the guy who selected Mussolini
00:41:45.780 and Adolf Hitler and worked with them.
00:41:51.720 I think it's time we bring the chalkboard out, because I think there's a whole new class
00:41:58.000 of radicals that you need to be aware of, and we need to do it again, and we need to
00:42:03.740 do it right, so our Democratic friends, not the ones in Washington, but the ones on the
00:42:08.820 street will listen, because they are surrounded by people who believe any means possible.
00:42:23.480 That's just your writer of the Green New Deal.
00:42:26.540 We had some new contenders, and really good-looking contenders, too, for America that stepped into
00:42:52.060 the race today.
00:42:53.200 Stu is actually working on what he believes will be something that, and I agree, will
00:43:01.800 be extraordinarily useful as you're going forward in 2020 to be able to measure the Democratic
00:43:10.580 nominees and how the race is shaping up.
00:43:13.920 You have over 20 factors that you're looking at, Stu?
00:43:16.280 Yeah, so far, 26 different categories that go from everything from polling to fundamentals
00:43:21.400 to support within the party, alignment with the political policy positions of activist sort
00:43:30.960 of voters.
00:43:31.800 There's a lot of different factors that go into it.
00:43:33.380 I think there's 26 so far.
00:43:34.440 I probably will expand a little bit from there, but I'm still in the middle of building it fully.
00:43:38.380 Are you looking at the center of the country, Democrats, at all?
00:43:42.880 Yeah, and we're looking at that, as well as the early states, which will be what you're
00:43:47.500 talking about.
00:43:47.900 This is about whether these candidates can win the primary, kind of like a power rankings
00:43:53.200 for the Democratic candidate, who's going to be in the lead.
00:43:56.960 And can you, when you get it done, will you be able to look at which one is, you know,
00:44:02.880 they might be winning the primary, but not necessarily good against Trump because...
00:44:07.800 Yeah, that's one of the most important factors.
00:44:09.260 Right now, I'm not building it as who is going to be the best matchup for Trump from the Democrats
00:44:14.860 per se, although that's a factor in it.
00:44:17.260 One of the things, the reasons I'm considering that sort of polling, which is basically based
00:44:21.540 on general election polling, which still is already being taken, is that is probably
00:44:27.820 the number one thing Democrats want out of a candidate, which is to beat Trump.
00:44:32.820 If they came up with a person who believed lots of different things from them, but they believed
00:44:37.440 would actually beat Trump, that person's much more likely to actually win.
00:44:41.300 That's going to be different, though, you know, with the Keith Ellisons of the world.
00:44:47.900 I mean, they really believe.
00:44:50.060 I read an article this week, something along the lines of, what was the headline?
00:45:00.060 Can a moderate win against Trump?
00:45:06.860 Can a moderate...
00:45:08.860 Wait, wait, wait.
00:45:09.800 Wait, you're always saying that the Republicans are running extremists when we run people
00:45:16.980 who believe in the Constitution.
00:45:18.940 You're now questioning whether a moderate could win in the Democratic Party.
00:45:24.600 I mean, Howard Schultz is not a moderate Democrat.
00:45:29.320 No, I know.
00:45:29.620 He's a liberal Democrat, and he can't even fit in the party.
00:45:32.400 No.
00:45:32.800 He's running as an independent, potentially, because he doesn't think he has any chance,
00:45:36.240 basically, to win as a Democratic candidate.
00:45:38.540 I mean, think about that.
00:45:39.720 That is a...
00:45:40.520 That's quite a statement.
00:45:41.680 He's a lifelong Democrat.
00:45:43.840 He's a guy who started Starbucks.
00:45:45.520 And he's out.
00:45:46.680 And he's out.
00:45:47.760 He's out of the party.
00:45:49.000 So think about how radical that change has been.
00:45:51.920 But see, how do they expect to run a radical when 20% of the vote for Donald Trump came
00:46:00.100 from people who voted at least once for Barack Obama?
00:46:03.280 I mean, it's the best path for a win for Donald Trump.
00:46:05.340 If he is going to face someone like a, you know, Elizabeth Warren, someone who's so far
00:46:13.200 left that it's impossible for a person in the middle of the country to say, I'm comfortable
00:46:17.840 with that.
00:46:18.520 Anybody who signed for the new Green Deal.
00:46:21.180 Right.
00:46:21.400 And they all have.
00:46:22.080 As far as I know.
00:46:22.760 I know Cory Booker was bragging about it.
00:46:25.680 He was pitching it.
00:46:26.500 Kamala Harris is on it.
00:46:27.280 Elizabeth Warren is on board.
00:46:29.100 As far as I know, I don't know if any of the candidates have rejected.
00:46:31.940 I don't think there's been one candidate yet that rejected it.
00:46:34.220 Now, that might be the type of job that Joe Biden takes up if he gets in the race.
00:46:38.560 And he's the guy who says, all I want is super mega liberal, not socialist.
00:46:42.820 And that may be enough in this context to win.
00:46:47.540 He's obviously doing very well in the polls.
00:46:49.900 But, you know, a lot of that's name recognition and he hasn't even announced yet.
00:46:53.340 But yeah, I mean, it's interesting to look at that.
00:46:54.700 But I did, so I had the very draft versions of this done.
00:47:00.200 I haven't added Klobuchar yet.
00:47:01.540 She just announced this weekend.
00:47:03.520 Minnesota, a Minnesota senator.
00:47:07.700 And she's kind of being touted as the first kind of moderate to get in the race.
00:47:12.040 She is touted as a moderate.
00:47:13.880 She's from a state that Trump almost won.
00:47:16.440 And from a region where Trump pulled off some unexpected victories.
00:47:19.180 So that's one of the things there.
00:47:20.520 She kind of plays herself off as a moderate.
00:47:22.760 I looked up her conservative review score.
00:47:25.480 Now, a lot of Democrats have 0% conservative review scores.
00:47:28.900 So, I mean, you know, so she's a moderate.
00:47:30.800 She has a 2%.
00:47:31.980 Oh, wow.
00:47:32.840 So a 2% conservative review score.
00:47:34.800 Wow.
00:47:35.100 Pretty sexy, I think, for the moderates out there.
00:47:37.340 Okay, yeah.
00:47:37.500 But we can go through this if you want really quick.
00:47:39.800 There's so far, I guess, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9.
00:47:46.160 I think I have in there.
00:47:46.980 Klobuchar would be 10.
00:47:47.820 There's a couple of other minor candidates that we don't have in yet.
00:47:50.940 But the way it works is it basically score from 1 to 100.
00:47:54.280 It comes to, and there's a lot of different categories, but they're not all treated equally.
00:47:58.540 Right?
00:47:58.680 Like there's certain things that are really important, certain things that are not all that important.
00:48:01.640 Like what's the most important thing?
00:48:03.120 I mean, certainly polling is up there as very important.
00:48:05.600 The endorsements from the campaign, that hasn't really started yet, but that will become important.
00:48:13.540 Name recognition, quite important.
00:48:16.540 You know, things like the support from party elite and social reach is pretty important.
00:48:21.680 You know, you look at that, like, you look at someone like a, social reach is an interesting one.
00:48:27.260 Right?
00:48:27.380 Like you have people like, you know, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker have huge social followings.
00:48:32.880 Where someone like a, Kamala Harris has a much smaller social following.
00:48:39.140 She's getting lots of buzz from the media right now.
00:48:40.920 But she doesn't necessarily have that way to easily and cheaply spread that message.
00:48:44.800 She'll, that will grow if she starts to lead in the polls.
00:48:47.380 These things all start to follow each other.
00:48:49.020 And, you know, there's policy alignment stuff and all sorts of stuff like that.
00:48:54.600 You know, is it a serious campaign?
00:48:56.240 Is there baggage?
00:48:57.580 You know, how many gaffes do they have?
00:48:59.100 How many, do they have a propensity for gaffes?
00:49:01.400 You know, so there's a lot of different things to look at there.
00:49:03.640 So the score basically comes out from zero to a hundred.
00:49:06.560 It's basically be impossible to get a zero or a one hundred.
00:49:09.520 So I'll give you these in reverse order as they stand right now.
00:49:12.100 Andrew Yang.
00:49:13.200 He's a, he's a.
00:49:14.680 I thought he would be higher up on the list.
00:49:16.740 Yeah.
00:49:17.280 Shockingly, no.
00:49:17.940 Yeah.
00:49:18.120 He's got a 17.8.
00:49:20.440 Then you've got John Delaney, who's a former congressman, but has really made no big impact.
00:49:25.180 He's at 18.
00:49:27.080 Pete Buttigieg.
00:49:28.660 Now, Pete is the guy from, he's the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
00:49:32.100 Yeah.
00:49:32.360 Love Buttigieg.
00:49:33.000 Yes.
00:49:33.240 He's at 29.
00:49:34.240 Yeah.
00:49:34.500 On our guy.
00:49:35.220 Yeah, sure.
00:49:35.680 Tulsi Gabbard is next.
00:49:37.360 She's at a 30 on our scale.
00:49:39.280 She's a congresswoman from Hawaii.
00:49:41.600 Then you got Kirsten Gillibrand is at 38 on our scale.
00:49:47.420 Julian Castro at 41.
00:49:49.600 Oh my God.
00:49:50.440 Interesting.
00:49:51.040 There was a couple of things that I found interesting as we get here towards the top,
00:49:53.600 because there's only, there's really only three or four big candidates that are in right
00:49:59.400 now.
00:49:59.960 And they are at the top.
00:50:01.240 Elizabeth Warren is next at 41.4.
00:50:03.560 I was shocked to see her though.
00:50:05.200 So, I mean, towards the bottom group.
00:50:09.520 I mean, 41 was Julian Castro.
00:50:11.200 Again, he was the HUD secretary and mayor of San Antonio.
00:50:13.440 That's his qualification.
00:50:13.760 What is she, why has her number come down on this?
00:50:16.180 I mean, she's just got so many problems.
00:50:17.540 She's just riddled with problems.
00:50:18.540 And that's it, right?
00:50:19.340 And she has real problems fundamentally as a candidate.
00:50:21.680 She does well on things like social scores.
00:50:23.200 She does okay in polling.
00:50:24.960 There's certain things that she does pretty well, but a lot of those candidates, I mean,
00:50:28.400 how does she deal with Donald Trump?
00:50:29.800 We've talked about this before.
00:50:30.600 She is, she'd be a, he'd walk all over her.
00:50:33.060 He is, she is the ideal candidate to run against Trump.
00:50:36.720 If she, if that, if they can make Elizabeth Warren, the candidate, Trump will have the
00:50:39.920 easiest time, I think with her.
00:50:42.240 Cory Booker actually finished second in this and he's at 48.5 right now, which is considerably
00:50:49.540 better than I, I think he's a terrible candidate.
00:50:51.440 I mean, Cory Booker, you'll see him in speeches sometimes and he's, you know, he can be kind
00:50:55.460 of engaging, but he is a performer.
00:50:58.460 He, when he gets in those moments, he, he tends to write things.
00:51:01.980 He's not authentic.
00:51:03.260 The authenticity level of Cory Booker is low when he gets in big moments.
00:51:08.460 He handles big moments.
00:51:09.660 Spartacus?
00:51:10.040 Yeah.
00:51:10.300 I am Spartacus is a great example of it.
00:51:11.940 Right.
00:51:12.120 I mean, so inauthentic, so inauthentic.
00:51:14.940 And again, just to, he's also the type of person, you saw it with a green clip that
00:51:18.740 we played earlier, the Green New Deal clip, where he is a type of person that likes to
00:51:23.580 defend those indefensible positions.
00:51:26.700 He likes to jump into those situations.
00:51:28.860 So, you know, when everyone's saying the Green New Deal, it's ridiculous.
00:51:31.820 Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes out with it.
00:51:34.860 A bunch of people jump on board with it.
00:51:36.360 And then everyone starts to see the details come out and say, oh my God, this is not a
00:51:39.720 serious proposal.
00:51:40.340 Right now, momentum is going against the Green New Deal because it's patently
00:51:44.720 absurd.
00:51:45.380 Anyone who looks at it knows it's ridiculous.
00:51:47.500 Why?
00:51:47.840 Just because he wanted to abolish air travel, all fossil fuels, and car travel.
00:51:53.900 And remake, knock down and rebuild, or just retrofit every single home in America and
00:52:00.160 every single structure in America.
00:52:01.740 These are not legitimate ideas.
00:52:03.960 I mean, this is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez silliness.
00:52:07.440 Some look at things and say, why?
00:52:09.000 Yeah.
00:52:09.400 And that's what his defense was, right?
00:52:11.020 His defense was, oh, that's a moonshot.
00:52:12.520 People said it was impossible.
00:52:13.520 Well, they didn't say it was impossible.
00:52:14.540 They said it was hard.
00:52:15.460 This is impossible.
00:52:16.720 And it's stupid.
00:52:18.180 It's not even a goal you'd want to do.
00:52:20.000 At least the moon, we could at least look up there and say, wow, that's a pretty cool
00:52:22.860 video.
00:52:23.400 I mean, I don't know what you get out of the Green Deal except bankrupting people.
00:52:26.900 So he was at 48.5.
00:52:28.440 And then in first place, as it stands now, was Kamala Harris and her rating at 65.1.
00:52:34.340 So as of this moment, based on my model here, Kamala Harris is considerably ahead of the
00:52:41.680 field.
00:52:42.420 That does not necessarily mean anything at this point.
00:52:46.320 Again, the top tier candidates, you don't have a Beto in yet.
00:52:49.480 You don't have a Biden in yet.
00:52:51.800 You don't have a lot of the people who are kind of talked about in that top tier.
00:52:54.940 I mean, you saw Michelle Obama's appearance the other night.
00:52:57.360 I mean, people keep talking about her as a potential candidate.
00:52:59.520 And we've talked about it before.
00:53:01.320 No way.
00:53:01.620 She's not.
00:53:02.340 No way.
00:53:02.820 I mean, she's not showing any signs of running at this point.
00:53:06.040 But I think if you got to a point where they were desperate.
00:53:09.760 I think if they got to the point to where everybody was like, it's Elizabeth Warren.
00:53:13.980 She may pop in.
00:53:14.940 She may pop in.
00:53:16.100 And if she pops in, she wins it.
00:53:17.580 Right?
00:53:17.760 Like she is barring something unforeseen.
00:53:22.000 She's been through these trials.
00:53:23.080 She's been out in front of people for a long time.
00:53:23.940 I think she'd have any.
00:53:25.000 Everybody always says Oprah.
00:53:27.220 Michelle Obama is better than Oprah.
00:53:28.980 Yes.
00:53:29.200 Because God only knows what Oprah is.
00:53:31.360 She has no idea what she's talking about in half of these things.
00:53:33.820 Michelle Obama is, has lived in this world.
00:53:36.260 She's been through the pressure of D.C.
00:53:37.940 She knows it.
00:53:38.520 She knows it.
00:53:39.160 And you know her.
00:53:40.320 You've seen her in the White House.
00:53:42.100 Again, as he's thinking of a Democratic activist, they see her as the shining example of what we have set on fire with Donald Trump.
00:53:51.080 Right?
00:53:51.400 They had this wonderful thing going.
00:53:53.040 They had recovered from that evil Bush administration.
00:53:55.480 Everything was going great.
00:53:56.620 And then they set it on fire by electing Donald Trump.
00:53:59.840 You know, and it was Hillary Clinton's fault.
00:54:01.820 You know, she's the one that blew it.
00:54:03.100 She didn't go, she didn't go far enough.
00:54:04.600 She couldn't do it.
00:54:05.520 They think Michelle Obama can.
00:54:07.100 And if Michelle Obama walked into that primary, it would turn the whole thing upside down.
00:54:10.100 She'd be at the top of this in seconds.
00:54:11.480 Because, you know, she has that, she has the easiest path to that nomination if she wanted it.
00:54:17.480 Now, she has not shown serious signs of wanting it.
00:54:21.040 But, you know, there's a part of everybody that wants to be president of the United States.
00:54:24.580 And there's a part of her that was really more activist than him.
00:54:28.080 I mean, she was really the activist, you know, muscle behind Barack Obama in their early years.
00:54:34.360 She loves it.
00:54:35.100 She's not a passive, you know, first lady.
00:54:40.480 Like, Melania Trump has literally no interest at all in, you know, higher office by any, you know, there's no even rumors of it.
00:54:48.740 Michelle always wanted it.
00:54:50.040 You know, Barack got it first, but Michelle always wanted it, just like Hillary always wanted it.
00:54:54.060 And so, Michelle, I think, if she could be convinced this was easy and she could coast to it, which she probably could.
00:54:59.640 Unless Biden ran.
00:55:02.040 And Biden, I think that might be an issue there.
00:55:05.240 But I think Michelle would, she would have a real legitimate shot of a clean path.
00:55:10.560 She could clear, she'd clear half these candidates out the day she announced.
00:55:13.660 Half of them would drop out the day she announced.
00:55:15.880 That's how, that's how much of a wave that would be in the Democratic Party right now.
00:55:19.900 And Hillary Clinton must hate her.
00:55:23.460 Must hate her.
00:55:29.640 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:55:44.740 I don't think people really understand how close we are to this socialist utopia being jammed down everybody's throats.
00:55:52.660 We are just, you know, we are just a breath away, or to put it more frankly, a 2008 event away from us having socialism and a Green New Deal.
00:56:09.860 And this is the problem with the binary choice thing, because they just don't like Trump.
00:56:15.780 So whatever Trump is for, they are against.
00:56:17.540 They used to be against late term, last second abortion.
00:56:20.640 Now they're not, right?
00:56:21.880 Like they used to be against free trade, and now they're not, because Trump has taken tariff positions that they used to love and now hate.
00:56:30.180 The problem is, if it comes down to a situation where we have an economic collapse, and it's a one-on-one situation, they don't like Trump.
00:56:36.880 If Trump's the one arguing for capitalism, they're going to go the other way.
00:56:39.540 And they also are going to go the other way, because they'll promise jobs.
00:56:42.800 Hey, if we have to build high-speed rail, and we have to do all this, they're going to just say, this is the work projects.
00:56:48.960 This is, we built dams like this.
00:56:51.160 This is how every socialist utopia begins, right?
00:56:55.120 It's the idea of, we understand you don't necessarily feel comfortable with these sorts of things, but we need them right now.
00:57:01.000 It's common sense to do them right now.
00:57:02.600 The economy's going down, and we're in big trouble, and you need us.
00:57:06.180 Well, you know, one thing I can't get past is how blind people are on the left.
00:57:15.920 May I play, now I know this is really going to, you know, great lengths here, but may I play Cardi B from last week when she was talking about where does the tax dollars go?
00:57:29.860 And, you know, they're taking this money from celebrities?
00:57:32.460 Please, listen.
00:57:33.660 All right, so you know the government is taking 40% of my taxes, and Uncle Sam, I want to know what you're doing with my f***ing tax money, because you know what I'm saying?
00:57:44.040 Like, when you donate, like, when you donate to a kid from a foreign country, they give you updates of what they're doing with your donation.
00:57:52.120 I want to know what you're doing with my f***ing tax money, because I'm from New York, and the streets is always dirty.
00:57:57.200 We was voted the dirtiest city in America.
00:58:00.400 What is y'all doing?
00:58:01.480 There's still rats on the damn trains.
00:58:03.440 I know y'all not spending it in no damn prison, because y'all be giving f***ing two underwears, one jumpsuit for, like, five months.
00:58:11.220 So what is y'all doing with my f***ing money?
00:58:14.180 What is y'all doing with my f***ing money?
00:58:16.720 I want to know.
00:58:17.780 I want receipts.
00:58:18.760 I want everything.
00:58:20.220 I want to know what y'all is doing with my f***ing money.
00:58:23.040 Okay, all right.
00:58:23.900 She is classy.
00:58:24.900 Is that true you only get two underwears in prison?
00:58:27.360 Is that true?
00:58:27.820 Yeah, and one jumpsuit every six months, I think.
00:58:29.440 One jumpsuit.
00:58:29.600 Yeah.
00:58:30.060 Could we play the other clip where she says her poor lifestyle?
00:58:35.700 You know what I hate?
00:58:36.360 I hate when celebrities do something very extravagant, buy something very luxurious.
00:58:40.840 There's people in the comments like, you could have donated that.
00:58:44.160 Oh, we're going backwards.
00:58:45.560 You could have done this and that with your money.
00:58:46.940 And it's like, who are you to tell people what to do with their hard-working-ass money?
00:58:52.340 First of all, do you know that artists, celebrities, the IRS, out of every check that you make, they automatically take 45% of your check.
00:59:02.740 Are you serious, Cardi?
00:59:04.540 Yeah, no, stop it.
00:59:06.240 It's honestly, it's only happening to celebrities and artists.
00:59:09.620 Only celebrities and artists.
00:59:10.540 Only celebrities and artists.
00:59:11.300 They have to pay these things called taxes.
00:59:14.140 Clueless.
00:59:15.660 Absolutely clueless.
00:59:17.940 It's less entertaining from a lot of people, but that's a mainstream viewpoint.
00:59:22.500 Would have no idea that people like Cardi B are paying 45% of the taxes.
00:59:25.620 She just happens to be thrust into this world because of her success.
00:59:29.320 Most people who are listening to her music don't believe that's even happening with rich people.
