00:01:22.020
it's marked as country music but does that sound like country music to me you could see why it might
00:01:27.520
be marked that but it's not like a pure no it's like uh i don't know there's this new category
00:01:33.460

00:01:59.540
question yeah um now i prefer to get my music from established artists like nuke bizzel he is good and
00:02:06.960
nuke bizzel also there's a part of the podcast today where we talk about nuke bizzel because uh of course
00:02:13.360
he's a great rap artist um but uh he did a song about how to rip everybody off um to the tune of
00:02:22.120
i mean he mentions 300 g's in it uh we don't know how much he actually stole from covid programs but he
00:02:28.620
rapped about it so we knew he did it yeah so it's great so he's that as we go through this uh i i thought
00:02:35.840

you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:04:51.880
welcome to the glenbeck program we're glad you're here uh we're being joined by chris stewart
00:05:01.940
a congressman he uh was an air force officer distinguished graduate top of his class
00:05:08.860
uh officer of the training school undergraduate pilot training 14 years as a pilot flying both
00:05:15.480
rescue helicopters oh i don't want to get hurt oh my gosh whatever and a b1b bomber he holds the
00:05:22.840
world's speed records including the world's record for the fastest non-stop flight around the world
00:05:27.420
he's written 17 books national bestsellers six different languages uh and he's also on you know some
00:05:35.320
of those super secret you know intelligence committees so i wanted to get here and see what
00:05:40.960
we could get from him usually nothing but i thought we'd just pump him for information about what happened
00:05:46.800
uh with the um uh the nordstrom pipelines hello chris how are you hey good morning glenn that's the
00:05:55.280
nicest introduction i've had in a long time yeah well you're a conservative so they're not going to
00:06:01.540
give you nice introductions that's true so uh chris uh tell me what you can about there's a lot of
00:06:09.660
people a lot of people that their first thought with the nordstrom pipeline was oh my gosh did we do
00:06:17.640
this yeah yeah and i think a lot of people have seen the tucker carlson piece and some other writing
00:06:24.300
that just indicated that and let me tell you glenn first we we genuinely don't know sometimes when i
00:06:30.760
come on your program you're kind of teasing me saying you pump me for information that i don't
00:06:34.120
tell you anything sometimes i know but can't say right but in this case we really don't know yet
00:06:39.440
okay wait wait wait wait wait wait so we don't know who did it but are you including we don't know if
00:06:46.300
we did it uh no i i don't think there's any reason to believe that we did it uh and in fact i i think i
00:06:54.740
say with a high high degree of confidence as much as you can in a world that's gone crazy
00:06:59.520
and there's times in the past when i'd say hey i don't think that's true and it turns out to be
00:07:04.500
true later on uh so i say it with a bit of caution but no i don't believe we did it i don't think
00:07:08.960
there's any reason for us to do it if we had done that uh i think we would know uh we would be aware
00:07:15.560
of it there'd be some evidence of it and and i don't believe that's the case the biggest thing glenn i
00:07:20.980
mean you look at us i feel like the grinch if you will i puzzled and puzzled till my puzzler is
00:07:25.820
sore it just doesn't make any sense if you look at every nation it's really hard to create a very
00:07:31.960
plausible explanation for why that nation would do it it's certainly the case if you're trying to
00:07:37.180
argue the u.s did it and by the way some of the reporting on this is is misleading in the sense that
00:07:42.800
they they take the the statement from victoria in inland for example the state department official
00:07:48.160
she's clearly talking about nordstrom too and that they're going to try to pressure germany not to
00:07:52.820
approve opening that pipeline and i think some people misread that say oh see they're threatening
00:07:58.180
to blow it up uh ukraine simply doesn't have the capability and i don't think ukraine would do it
00:08:03.640
because it would stress the the relationship with the allies so much russia on the other hand
00:08:08.880
i think you could make an argument that for one thing they just want to create chaos that's very very
00:08:13.940
clear and this could be a tool for them the the eu is looking at a deadly winter i mean literally a
00:08:21.100
deadly winter there's potential for thousands people maybe tens of thousands people to freeze to
00:08:26.440
death oh my gosh oh my gosh there think about this glenn for the average eu home it's going to cost
00:08:33.320
more than three thousand dollars a month to heat their home over this next winter and i think that
00:08:40.580
russia would have been under enormous pressure to open up that pipeline and this just eliminates
00:08:45.900
that that for them they don't have to they don't have to deal with that international pressure now
00:08:49.720
but i think more than that they love the chaos and my greatest fear is that it shows that this isn't
00:08:56.380
we're not in the wind down phase of this war we're really in the opening stages of it still
00:09:02.320
and if russia did this and my personal belief is that they probably did it shows you that there
00:09:09.300
there's a lot of things a lot of tools that they are still uh still have available to them
00:09:14.940
that are going to make it really difficult for us to step through the next i think six months or
00:09:20.040
and if we don't really know they can claim we did it or anybody else did it and escalate because
00:09:26.840
they immediately said well this gloves come off now if you can do this forget about nukes which
00:09:33.320
they did mention that justifies nukes um but forget about that that means if they claim we did it
00:09:40.500
they could hit our energy infrastructure yeah absolutely and that's one of the very obvious
00:09:47.700
conclusions is that they would claim that we did it regardless of who did it if they did it they're
00:09:54.500
going to say that we did and it's going to open the door for them to retaliate and if you take that
00:09:58.980
in conjunction with what happened yesterday and them claiming that uh there was a this supposed
00:10:03.820
referendum on the four uh you know the four essentials essentially states in eastern ukraine
00:10:10.320
where i mean these these numbers sound stalinistic you know 99 of the people there voted to join with
00:10:16.860
russia 92 of the people in another uh another region voted to join with russia again those are the kind of
00:10:22.740
numbers that uh that stalin would win by and it's it's beyond belief of course but if you combine
00:10:29.220
these two events of the last few days uh you you can see that vladimir putin is is positioning himself
00:10:36.900
he's he again he's not looking to wind things down excuse me he's he's looking to exert more pressure not
00:10:45.120
less so i talked to chad robichow um who was in ukraine just recently and um he actually walked
00:10:54.880
the mass graves he he told me last night because i said before i put you on the air and saying this i've
00:11:00.280
seen the video but i want to make sure you didn't just see a patch of dirt or you saw things that the
00:11:05.440
ukrainian government were saying this is what it was that you actually saw these things and he said glenn
00:11:10.860
i saw women and children with their hands tied behind their back and bullets in their head that
00:11:17.240
they tried to bury quickly because they were leaving this is crimes against humanity yeah i don't think
00:11:25.800
there's any question about that it shows a couple things it shows the desperation of vladimir putin's
00:11:30.880
leadership it shows the inhumanity of leadership which doesn't surprise i think anyone it also shows
00:11:36.500
the results of a hastily assembled an untrained army this is now not a professional army any longer
00:11:42.860
uh many of them are are conscripts that have been in the army for in some cases a matter of a few weeks
00:11:49.580
it's all with very little training if any and including in that you know the laws of war the
00:11:55.500
discipline of a professional soldier that we don't expect from them any longer which brings me to this
00:12:00.900
one point glenn i hope i can make and and i think now stepping back from that and that is okay where are we
00:12:06.320
in the u.s on what are we doing there uh i just finished an editorial that asked this question
00:12:12.020
look in the early days of the war i supported this effort i thought we had to help ukraine and the
00:12:16.740
ukraine military they have shown enormous courage they have demonstrated that courage on the battlefield
00:12:22.040
can change a battlefield in ways that sometimes weapons can't but the president of the united states
00:12:27.480
has to tell the american people now this is our goal in ukraine because if the if president
00:12:33.860
biden agrees with president zelinski that now our objective is to expel every russian from eastern
00:12:39.320
ukraine including crimea then i promise you we will be at war with russia if that is our goal
00:12:46.460
vladimir putin is not going to leave crimea i mean it was part of russia up until 1958 and when
00:12:54.380
khrushchev drew a line says oh now you're part of of ukraine now and the people there genuinely are
00:13:00.380
ethnically russian they speak russian they want to be with russia and putin is not going to surrender
00:13:06.220
crimea and if president biden agrees with zelinski he needs to embrace the american people for a long
00:13:11.520
long and potentially very deadly war if on the other hand our goal is just to say go back to the pre
00:13:17.260
february invasion lines then he should state that that's our goal so that zelinski knows we're not going
00:13:23.380
to support him going beyond that i think we're at this point now where we have to define why we are
00:13:29.300
there and at what cost is it going to be to achieve the goals of that defined uh being there and this
00:13:37.980
president hasn't done that at all and the result of that glenn is 20 years later we may be in there
00:13:42.600
just like we were in iraq or afghanistan uh the senate just passed a bill last night to fund the
00:13:47.780
government which includes another 12 billion dollars for ukraine chris this has got to stop
00:13:55.920
it's got to stop well and one other thing that a lot of people don't realize we're not just funding
00:14:00.840
their military efforts we're funding their entire government operations including their pension plans
00:14:06.800
we're funding ukrainian pension plans that's right and uh and look i want to help them i am a defense
00:14:15.140
talk and i believe the united states needs to help in this situation but we have to define the limits
00:14:20.520
of our health we owe the american people an explanation for how much money we're willing to
00:14:25.300
spend and how long we're willing to be there and the goals we're trying to achieve chris will you do
00:14:30.320
me a favor would you put me in touch with whomever has all of the information of where this money is
00:14:36.260
going including the pension plans i would love to have you come on the air and explain it to the
00:14:43.440
american people somebody has got to expose all this i think you know honestly my first thought when i saw
00:14:50.380
the nord stream was i don't think that we did this you know we didn't send our navy seals in to do this
00:14:57.900
there's no way however i'm not convinced that some rogue party somebody and it could be for a million
00:15:06.640
different reasons i'm not convinced that some of our money that has been over there without any
00:15:13.040
accounting didn't give somebody half a billion dollars and say don't blow these things up
00:15:18.560
and we didn't do it but it was maybe possibly our money there's no accountability for any of this
00:15:26.220
and now that would be what 75 trillion a billion dollars that we have spent sent over there
00:15:32.920
five billion dollars can change the world yeah well that's one of the things i also point out in
00:15:42.160
this latest editorial going is that there's no ig there's no accounting we just send the money and
00:15:47.020
hope it ends up where we where we say it does and and by the way keep combined ukraine is one of the
00:15:53.800
most corrupt nations in the world i know i've been for generations they lost seven billion dollars
00:15:59.660
in the during the biden debacle when he was vice president seven billion just kind of just disappeared
00:16:06.360
and nobody ever said anything about it here yeah well that's because seven billion is not that much
00:16:11.240
money go ahead no i know i know i spend that on groceries lately um okay so chris will you uh can i
00:16:19.560
have uh ricky my executive producer reach out to you and and just see if you can help us put some
00:16:26.540
of this stuff together because i did not know that about their pensions that that's insanity
00:16:31.200
that's insanity well and again it's one of those things the american people deserve to know and i think
00:16:37.320
most americans want to help ukraine again glenn they've shown enormous courage we don't have
00:16:41.760
vladimir putin to control that nation but we have to do it in a thoughtful way if we don't look back
00:16:46.600
on the last 20 years and again i'm a defense hawk i'm a former air force guy but you have to look
00:16:52.040
back on the last 20 years in iraq in afghanistan and in libya and a number of other places and say
00:16:57.320
okay what lessons have we learned how can we do this better and we need to apply those lessons to
00:17:03.220
ukraine and this is the time to do that i'd be happy to help you get that information if you want
00:17:07.460
to know where that money is going good luck i don't know who knows that now what i can help you do
00:17:11.940
is find out what specifically the language allows for for example pension funds in ukraine we can
00:17:17.300
help you find that out for sure that's incredible all right chris stewart thank you so much i
00:17:23.420
appreciate everything you do in congress keep strong buddy thank you sir you bet bye-bye uh i may disagree
00:17:29.320
with you know some of the things that uh any of these guys in washington do but um uh this guy
00:17:36.400
is straight as an arrow um and uh we might disagree on you know this issue or that issue but
00:17:44.180
i'm glad he's in washington he knows what he's talking about when it comes to defense
00:17:49.120
and uh we need him in those rooms to speak some sanity i'll tell you if you're going to washington
00:17:57.300
if you're thinking about becoming a congressman or do not get onto the intel committee i think
00:18:03.160
personally it's a trap it's a trap it's a trap you get onto the intel committee and then you can't say
00:18:10.180
anything anything and uh about anything and so you become you're strapped i mean i'll talk to
00:18:19.340
chris about things that you know i know and then i'll get into speculation and it won't be a big deal
00:18:25.900
and he'll be like i can't talk about it can't talk about it okay and i just think it's a trap don't
00:18:34.040
get onto the intel committee this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank
00:18:41.320
you for listening mr bill o'reilly how are you sir here i am thank you for having me back you bet you bet
00:18:54.880
um uh your check hasn't uh hasn't cleared yet so i don't know if you'll be back next week because
00:19:02.100
you got to keep writing those i wrote that check uh to the haberdashery uh company so that you could
00:19:08.060
have some decent clothing okay you know you're such a jerk have you seen back lately i mean remember that
00:19:13.960
remember the word hobo remember that so kind of gets you uh up and running on the uh wardrobe
00:19:21.900
spectrum that's what happened there so bill the biggest story of the week
00:19:27.580
gotta be ian but you know how do you cover it it's you know a act of god and you know you lived in
00:19:39.400
florida i lived in florida yeah you know when you lived there in california as well anything could
00:19:45.200
happen um and then it happens and everybody's looking at one another but there is some good
00:19:51.980
news here that the federal and state governments do work in a capacity of getting help to people
00:19:59.920
obviously these people's whole lives are destroyed now yeah they got to rebuild and that's just part
00:20:05.220
of life um but you know that's the biggest story of of the week uh the second biggest story of the
00:20:13.420
week is joe biden's continue continuing diminishment yeah in what way the mental diminishment or
00:20:22.960
diminishment on the world stage well i can't calibrate the world stage he's doing the right
00:20:29.820
thing in ukraine um because putin is on the ropes and we just talk about praying if you're going to pray
00:20:37.460
for something he's got to go and i'm hoping that the russian people you know you don't get a lot of
00:20:44.440
reporting out of there but nobody can really be supporting putin and he looks terrible and he's
00:20:51.640
hiding out wait wait wait wait yeah but let's before you get into that let's cover the nordstrom
00:20:57.480
pipeline who do you think did it who's responsible jill jill biden did it jill was in the scoop
00:21:03.600
no come on come on come on who do you think did it went on with a giant hat and just hanged it
00:21:10.020
come on back i mean who who the deuce knows who did it right but do you think that we would have
00:21:16.580
done that do you think we i mean it's no matter what i think about the left i do think there are
00:21:22.660
people that are that are that nefarious but i just can't see our navy seals being ordered to do that
00:21:28.020
and and and us doing that no i i don't think that happened okay but you know what the real
00:21:35.420
tragedy of this is you can watch cable news and hear a half an hour of that
00:21:41.240
you get i mean they just make this stuff up because the ratings are going down so quickly
00:21:47.300
and and they come on oh yeah this is what and you sit there going if there's no facts which there
00:21:55.340
aren't in this okay all you have to say is gee it's possible that maybe putin went down in a diving
00:22:04.020
belt but you can't you know yeah so we had uh we just had chris stewart on um and uh and he's a
00:22:13.420
congressman he's on the intel committee and a highly decorated air force colonel i think um and uh he said
00:22:22.920
you know there there we just we didn't do this but he doesn't say who did it uh and he didn't rule
00:22:30.240
out that some of our money that we're just sending out with with no um accountants uh might have been
00:22:37.560
used by some nefarious figure to uh to do it but his point was doesn't matter it means we're at the
00:22:44.380
beginning of something very very bad not the end and wind down of a war
00:22:49.300
well look europe is going to suffer this winter as the people of florida are suffering now
00:22:57.800
and some of us believe that okay you had an opportunity to get away from russia and you didn't
00:23:07.080
and so this is what happens when you dine with the devil i know you're a big machiavelli fan back
00:23:13.820
but there's a very famous quote if you dine with the devil bring a long spoon because if you get into
00:23:23.780
bed with these evil people they will turn on you and that is what's going to happen this winter in
00:23:30.560
europe it's going to be hilly over there now but here's the worst part of it two years ago i just
00:23:38.840
want everyone listening to beck o'reilly and stew right now think back just two years ago the united
00:23:45.900
states had the most vibrant economy on the planet on earth we were exporting oil and natural gas to
00:23:54.860
foreign countries and reaping the benefits financially of that one man gets elected president
00:24:02.140
and destroys the entire economy in two years including the fuel industry of the usa how horrible
00:24:12.760
is that so if we were energy independent now if trump had been re-elected we would be making billions and
00:24:21.760
billions of dollars and the europeans would not be so chilly this winter how does how does the german
00:24:29.840
government uh not get overthrown if tens of thousands of germans freeze to death and they're not turning
00:24:38.960
their their nuclear power plants back on how it's up it's up to them i i was in germany a couple of years
00:24:46.160
ago uh it's it's like the united states have you got a phone in their hand they're in there drinking
00:24:52.640
the you know steins i don't know what they're doing over there okay but you're getting punished now
00:24:59.260
because of foolish policy yeah and maybe you guys want to wise up look it's about america are we going
00:25:06.360
to wise up in five weeks back no on november 8th is this country going to wise up i think it might i think
00:25:13.380
i think it's going to go better than well i don't even want to i don't want to i don't want to jinx it
00:25:19.220
i endorse all the democrats how's that um because every time i endorse somebody they lose so i endorse
00:25:25.340
every democrat um i don't know i hope my my feeling is watching things people are waking up i don't know
00:25:34.760
how it plays out but if everyone who wants to save the country isn't voting they um they're part of
00:25:44.500
the problem you've got to go out and vote you have to i can't understand how anybody could vote for a
00:25:50.880
democrat and i'm not a party guy you know that yeah i don't know the republicans i mean are these geniuses
00:25:57.100
no they're not all right but how could you what do you i don't know what the the overall campaign
00:26:03.780
slogan is hey if you want less money vote for the democrats is that what they're campaigning on
00:26:12.680
if you want more bodies in the street vote for us we're going to have more dead people because we're
00:26:19.920
not going to enforce the law if you want 10 million undocumented migrants vote for us because
00:26:27.360
we're not shutting anything down you like fentanyl vote for us you'll have plenty of it that's the
00:26:33.480
democratic platform and then we're at that point i've been doing this almost 50 years i've never seen
00:26:41.220
the kind of political insanity in america that i see today and it's affecting every person you are
00:26:49.340
paying more for your cheeseburger hello i can't believe you're gonna can't you're gonna vote for
00:26:56.100
kathy hochel i i new york and they might i can't believe bill that we are at a place to where we all
00:27:03.100
agreed five years ago that pedophilia is bad is bad and should never be normalized we knew that grooming
00:27:12.320
children or showing children what what really is pornography teaching them about sexual acts in the
00:27:20.640
second grade having trans uh drag shows in school libraries and have them strip in front of little
00:27:30.440
kids we all knew that was wrong all knew i didn't change you changed americans who have for some reason
00:27:42.320
have gone down this road they've gone down this road so far that they've had to just accept that
00:27:49.840
this is okay now and they know it's not they know it's not but if they can't turn the corner now
00:27:57.460
it's only going to get worse yes they're too distracted to get involved i don't think you're
00:28:03.380
going to see a real high turnout in november i think republicans will turn out more than democrats
00:28:09.280
and here's what the polls never show if the african immunity uh african-american community
00:28:15.140
which is getting hammered worse of all by the democrats if they stay home and that's not
00:28:22.000
calibrated by polling then it's a route it's a route and that could very well happen bill o'reilly
00:28:30.900
is with us killing the legends the lethal danger of celebrity is his new book it came out this week
00:28:36.020
john lennon elvis presley and muhammad ali um bill when i saw the movie on elvis i learned a lot i did
00:28:43.300
not know any of that about the colonel um and i didn't know that elvis you know went into or would
00:28:50.840
have been bankrupt when he tried to leave the colonel um and how badly he was used yeah no i mean
00:28:59.780
it's startling and all three of them uh were betrayed uh elvis lennon and ellie by people close
00:29:08.460
to them all three of them were but presley um uneducated kid uh from mississippi changes
00:29:15.940
single-handedly american culture that's why i wrote i wrote the book people say okay this is the 12th
00:29:21.820
killing book the most successful non-fiction book series of all time well why this isn't history yes it
00:29:27.400
is these three individuals changed the way we live in america to this day and elvis blew up the
00:29:35.960
conformity culture of the 1950s post-world war ii dwight eisenhower everybody looked the same sounded
00:29:42.180
the same in six minutes on the ed sullivan show the whole culture crashed because rock and roll was
00:29:47.840
here to stay as danny and the juniors once sang okay and elvis surged and at the same time uh in
00:29:55.860
american society pastors were saying he was an agent of satan they were burning his records
00:30:00.960
parents were yelling at their boys you can't slick your hair back or wear a leather jacket or sneer at
00:30:06.280
me the age of rebellion had begun and and elvis presley for all his tragedy was a titanic historical
00:30:16.820
figure he was and that's why i wrote about it but as far as the micro level is concerned
00:30:22.360
the tom parker has managed to 50 percent of all his earnings plus expenses oh my god
00:30:31.620
parker was a criminal he's a thief and after presley died at age 42 the presley estate had to take
00:30:39.240
parker into court to get some of the money back and but elvis allowed it to happen
00:30:47.980
he signed the papers it was insane because he was in over his head celebrity crushed him okay so hang
00:31:00.220
on just a second hang on hang on hang on first of all is colonel parker is that true that he uh left
00:31:07.500
someplace in europe because he killed somebody well let's put it this way he was a suspect in a murder
00:31:15.300
in holland he absconded quickly he got on a boat he came to america and he was an illegal alien
00:31:25.400
okay unbelievable and he got a job in a car in the carnival circuit he was a carny and he was
00:31:35.460
associated with a guy named eddie arnold a country singer and discovered elvis presley parker had a
00:31:43.040
shrewd eye for talent and he got his hooks into elvis and never let go so his elvis's estate i just
00:31:51.280
looked this up the other day elvis's estate in 1979 money what was left was uh about four million
00:31:59.380
dollars it's about 25 million 30 million in today's money um so it's sizable but his estate
00:32:06.800
uh in 1979 uh in 1979 money all of his his records all his image and everything else would have been
00:32:14.480
worth i think it was four trillion dollars uh in 1979 money but elvis presley made more money than
00:32:22.260
any uh celebrity on the face of the earth for a period of about five or six years and he came away
00:32:29.120
with nothing and it's a misleading misnomer when he when he died yeah he was worth it but that was
00:32:34.620
because he had grace on the property he had a private jet he had a lot of stuff but cash
00:32:42.300
he didn't have because parker was stealing it why because parker was a degenerate gambler
00:32:49.380
parker lost a million dollars a year in vegas casinos wow and part of the deal reason that
00:32:56.740
elvis was in vegas all the time was that parker made deals saying i'll bring my boy in but you give
00:33:03.680
me unlimited credit in the casino floor unbelievable i mean when you read killing the legends you think
00:33:10.500
you know about elvis and john lennon and mihamed ellie you don't know but also you don't know how
00:33:15.980
they affected us and how we live today i mean between 1964 and 69 american culture changed to sex
00:33:25.440
drugs rock and roll largely because of the beatles and we have that today our permissive
00:33:32.500
culture today stems from the 1960s and the same kind of people i can't say that the lizzos of the
00:33:41.840
world the stars of today are leading us into a deeper darker place uh than anybody was leading well i
00:33:50.740
can't say anybody because it was a pretty dark place with sex drugs and rock and roll in the 60s
00:33:54.820
uh but at least it was surrounded by you know oh this is about love man uh now it's just grotesque
00:34:02.480
okay we're gonna come back with bill o'reilly uh and talk about muhammad ali and uh and john lennon
00:34:07.940
killing the legends the lethal danger of celebrity um he has 18 number one bestsellers mr bill o'reilly
00:34:17.000
this book is out uh right now it came out on tuesday pick it up wherever you get your books
00:34:30.000
michael malice welcome to the uh program thanks so much glenn good um you know i i you are so much
00:34:46.340
good yeah good you are uh you're you're so funny i just read your tweet about you know the worst thing
00:34:53.480
that schools uh teach um and and i've been watching gavin newsom and i'm convinced gavin newsom is running
00:35:03.360
in 2024 and if it's 2024 2028 it will be gavin newsom and uh and uh desantis and it will be
00:35:15.980
is this state working or is this state the future and he's so transparent on what he's doing
00:35:24.020
yeah i i agree with a lot of that first of all i don't know that it would be this state versus that
00:35:29.520
state because we would all love a political system where people argue about the issues and what's your
00:35:35.780
vision for america it would be is this state working versus do you want nazism in the white house i think
00:35:41.260
that's how the campaign would be with the full support of the corporate press but i i think it's
00:35:46.640
really funny because there's a lot of conservatives i i i think and i can think it totally wrong who
00:35:51.100
believe that you know god forbid something happens president biden and and officer harris becomes the
00:35:56.300
president that she'd be a lock for the nomination 2024 and i think that's absolutely no way no way
00:36:01.920
because there's so much lip service sure for women and for minorities but when you look at how the
00:36:07.280
democratic party votes in the primaries if you look at 2020 it was biden bernie sanders elizabeth
00:36:13.240
warren pete buddha judge mike bloomberg and amy klobuchar had the most votes cory booker went nowhere
00:36:19.080
telsey gabbert went nowhere uh kamala harris went nowhere she just got picked as a token hire uh by joe
00:36:25.700
biden towards the end so not only she has a lock i don't think she has a good shot and i think if you
00:36:32.600
ask californians now or in 2020 who would you rather see as president gavin newsom or kamala harris
00:36:39.420
he'd mop the floor with her oh yeah yeah yeah yeah uh but i'm not sure america wants gavin
00:36:44.500
gavin newsom uh by any stretch of the imagination no he's basically patrick bateman if you look at him
00:36:51.240
he's an 80s super villain from wall street with that with that pomade uh and that smirk on his face
00:36:57.980
where he's you know at the end the movie he's just put in his place and kind of kicked out as
00:37:03.140
the landlord he's like you know so many tropes put into one um and what he's done with california
00:37:08.980
i have to give him credit and i think you'd like this as well he is unapologetically progressive
00:37:15.200
oh yeah and stands for what he stands for he's like this is the right way i'm like say like an
00:37:19.240
andrew yang who's a snake who pretends he's not left or right but only argues for leftist views
00:37:24.760
he is for his um issues and i think that's very attractive to voters in his party yeah i i will
00:37:35.240
tell you and that's why i think um uh i think that uh ron de santis is popular as well he's unashamed
00:37:43.240
of what he's doing however the the problem is going to be quickly is that florida will prosper
00:37:51.280
but everything he's doing in california is going to make it so much worse and expensive
00:37:58.940
but i i don't think democrats necessarily vote in terms of quality of life uh they're they're more
00:38:06.700
interested in having their agenda prescriptions put forward and then they shrug their shoulders
00:38:10.980
in terms of why that everyone else should be miserable and we saw this with the begging
00:38:15.940
for ongoing lockdowns and the begging for more quarantining and so on and so forth they want
00:38:22.020
everyone to be miserable and equal so i think doesn't that end at some point
00:38:28.900
don't you know what mrs thatcher said the problem of socialism is eventually run out of other people's
00:38:34.580
money uh it ends in disaster it ends in baltimore uh you know it ends in you know britain in the
00:38:40.340
1970s um but you know try telling these you know affluent white women that their policies are
00:38:47.600
disastrous they don't feel that pain it's poor people who feel the pain and they can just you
00:38:52.280
know dust up their shoulders and say let them eat cake i don't know i think i mean seven trillion
00:38:57.780
dollars has been lost on the stock market uh and four trillion of that is from very wealthy
00:39:03.860
individuals i mean uh and we haven't even begun on uh you know on the loss of the dollar and the stock
00:39:12.040
market i think the stock market could we could have could be you know 15 000 points or 18 000 points
00:39:19.120
easily uh that's a lot of money to be taken away from rich people well i agree and in which case
00:39:26.200
they can that's why they it'd be easy for them to blame biden you know he teased the fall guy in 2024
00:39:31.700
somehow it's the republican salt and they have a clean slate with gavin newsom let me ask you this
00:39:37.560
um the um and it might be too soon so i want to be very careful because i i have sympathy for
00:39:44.060
everybody who has lost their home and you know and mercury one is down in florida right now um helping
00:39:50.140
the residents there but i'm talking about the the gulf i mean the um uh the beachfront homes
00:39:58.640
that are you know million ten million dollar homes that should not be built there because
00:40:07.660
you know in the old days you couldn't get insurance to build the house and then all of a sudden the
00:40:14.460
federal government said oh we'll insure that well why are we insuring those houses and i want to take
00:40:21.600
care of everybody that is there etc etc but shouldn't we have a conversation about living
00:40:28.500
on the coast in a in a hurricane zone or a flood zone that if you want to do that you should do
00:40:35.980
that at your own risk now that'll mean a lot of rich people are the only ones that live there but
00:40:41.220
so be it as long as i'm not paying for their house their house we shouldn't be insuring as a
00:40:47.960
federal government places where people shouldn't be really living unless it's at their own risk
00:40:53.900
well i mean you could extrapolate that even further we shouldn't be subsidizing college loans
00:40:58.800
right and i agree back because if you take out a loan any kind of loan you know it's really funny
00:41:04.800
i read kamala harris's autobiography and she discusses when she was an attorney general how and her claim
00:41:10.840
it was just amazing to see in writing was that you know we should have bailed out all these mortgages
00:41:15.920
because when the bank lends you money that's them saying you can afford to pay it back and if you
00:41:21.360
can't that's their fault oh my gosh it was amazing and you're like holy crap like it's really when you
00:41:27.280
see something like that in black and white it's like okay there's no whether this person is being
00:41:31.520
honest or not there's no conversation possible to be had with them this is a completely martian
00:41:36.480
worldview as far as i'm concerned yeah and it's it's a it's a worldview that in particular is a worldview
00:41:40.900
where you have no responsibility you know it's i i went to um i went to uh the i think it's the
00:41:50.220
southern side of the grand canyon the the native american side the navajo side and they have no walls
00:41:56.780
they have no um you know fencing up on the cliff that falls right straight down into the canyon
00:42:04.780
and i said to one of the guys there i said how many deaths do you have a year and he said we don't
00:42:11.020
have any he said on like your side your government puts up all these these walls and fences and everyone
00:42:18.120
thinks oh well they wouldn't make it so i could climb over it if it was too dangerous he said here
00:42:25.200
people see oh it's a rock slide to your death and he said so nobody approaches it and that's her kind
00:42:32.920
of thinking that's the bank saying i can afford it so if they say it i can no you've got to look at it
00:42:41.580
it's a system of everyone bailing each other out and we're basically living on lifeboat lifeboats
00:42:48.300
and at a certain point you can't bail everyone out and everyone just starts to think it's a very
00:42:52.820
dangerous snowball game uh and you know i was not a fan of 2008 to put it mildly yeah and at a certain
00:43:00.960
point that credit card is going to run out and the piper is going to come do and then if you think
00:43:05.820
inflation is bad now things are would really get ugly then you know i learned from uh the congressman
00:43:11.700
chris stewart today that our bailing out or our funding uh of ukraine right now we are actually paying
00:43:19.360
for the retirement funds for the government of ukraine right now did you know that
00:43:24.460
well i'm i'm in favor of giving money for politicians to retire so yeah let's put them
00:43:31.840
in a nice old folks home and put some of the andrew cuomo people quarantined in there and everything
00:43:36.420
will work out so i know you're one of the guys who will actually say what they're thinking um you know
00:43:42.600
probably to your detriment at times and i i would like to know what do you think about the nord stream
00:43:51.280
uh pipelines i think this is the kind of thing where you know we have the propaganda we're taught
00:43:59.380
our lives that america's the good guys uh and you know we never do anything shady there's so much
00:44:05.760
information misinformation going on about ukraine and russia and pipelines and things like that i have
00:44:11.320
no idea uh it's i wish life were as simple as good versus evil maybe that was the case in world war ii
00:44:17.700
except we don't talk about stalin because we don't know where to fit him in there because he was on
00:44:21.140
our side right so i i i agree with you that i am perfectly happy speaking my mind i do not have
00:44:27.000
the information at hand and i don't think any of us do good for you um one last uh one last question
00:44:33.380
you brought up um you know kamala harris and how she's uh she was a token woman that was uh plopped in
00:44:41.580
there i don't think there was ever any serious i i really believe that the democrats have come to a
00:44:47.520
point i mean fetterman is a great example of this they don't want a thinking human being in there
00:44:52.700
they just want rubber stamps would you agree with that well yes because i mean biden was picked just
00:44:59.640
because he's a party man but i just think it also speaks to how bad the republican party is that odds
00:45:06.740
in many polls is behind a literal stroke victim i mean what does that speak to the bench the republicans
00:45:12.120
have and who they're attracting it's just shameful or or is that how good is the indoctrination
00:45:20.420
that republican bad democrat good no matter who they are well and and i think a lot of that stems
00:45:27.860
from putting kids in government schools which thankfully is decreasing exponential rate and which
00:45:33.400
is to me the most biggest silver lining facing the future of this country how many people how many
00:45:39.160
children excuse me are being liberated from government schooling so the the reason why i led you to
00:45:45.360
kamala harris is um what is it going to take for women and you know the women's march people
00:45:54.080
they they just tweeted um yesterday we're not just the women's march we're not just pro-choice we are
00:46:01.880
proudly unapologetically pro-abortion which you see the top response which got three times as many
00:46:08.940
likes as they did what it was me saying repeal the 19th amendment
00:46:13.140
oh my gosh that is sure they love that that's hysterical um but i wanted to ask you hang on
00:46:26.920
i'm clicking on it now i gotta see oh my gosh um the uh the um the thing i wanted to ask you was
00:46:35.540
what is it going to take for the women who claim to care about women and women's rights
00:46:39.760
to stand up for the women in iran it's i haven't heard i haven't heard a peep out of anyone in the
00:46:48.640
democratic party about iran progressivism is domesticate imperialism and their vision of
