00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the program today. We spent a lot of time on gay chicken money, also farts. 1.00
00:00:07.940 Selena Zito was here for a dignified moment about what the next election is probably shaping up. 1.00
00:00:13.340 You're going to love if you're a supporter of Democrats or Republicans, or you just really don't like socialism, you're going to love what she has to say.
00:00:22.920 Santa phoned in also. He was very upset today with Chick-fil-A. Lot going on on today's podcast.
00:00:30.000 Okay, imagine your cell phone is a voting booth.
00:00:49.520 And every time you use your cell phone, you're voting for impeachment. You're voting for open borders. You're voting for gun confiscation.
00:00:59.220 That call to your mother just voted for abortion. That's the way you need to look at this.
00:01:07.200 It's a horrible thought, but it's not unrealistic.
00:01:10.280 Because this is what you're doing when you spend money with all of the cell phone companies that hate everything you believe in.
00:01:17.640 Just to add insult to injury, these cell phone carriers have all kinds of hidden fees, like AT&T's administrative fee.
00:01:26.120 You know, the one they're currently getting sued over? What is that?
00:01:29.240 Compare that with Patriot Mobile, the only conservative phone company in the nation.
00:01:35.960 They not only support your values with no hidden fees, but for a limited time, they're also giving you a free Moto Z3 when you open up a new line.
00:01:43.700 A free Moto Z3 when you open a new line.
00:01:46.600 The offer is only valid through Cyber Monday when you call 877-367-7524.
00:01:53.240 Why not use a carrier who believes in the same things you do and isn't voting with their money?
00:02:00.160 Your money.
00:02:01.060 Every time you make a phone call, they donate to those causes.
00:02:05.240 Patriot Mobile doesn't do that.
00:02:07.300 Switching is really easy.
00:02:08.560 You'll get reliable 4G LTE nationwide service for as low as $25 a month.
00:02:13.540 Plus, you're helping preserve the country that we love.
00:02:15.880 It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
00:02:19.380 Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
00:02:21.260 Or call their U.S.-based team at 877-367-7524.
00:02:26.700 877-367-7524.
00:02:30.360 Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
00:02:33.020 Well, I don't know.
00:02:33.760 I mean, we're just debating.
00:02:35.000 We have so many things to go on that we have to cover today.
00:02:38.740 We have Adam Schiff.
00:02:39.980 He's about to start asking questions.
00:02:42.080 We also have Fartgate that is happening.
00:02:46.060 We need a fart investigation on this because I don't know if I buy the media spit on it.
00:02:51.260 You know, there's too much conflicting information on this.
00:02:54.200 Can we please play Eric Swalwell being interviewed by Chris Matthews yesterday?
00:03:00.060 This audio is real.
00:03:03.860 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:03:07.880 And the complaint that I've heard from Republicans.
00:03:10.160 All right.
00:03:10.720 Let's hear it again.
00:03:11.140 One more time.
00:03:11.440 One more time.
00:03:12.460 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:03:16.520 And the complaint that I've heard.
00:03:17.380 I mean, his shoulders go up.
00:03:18.900 Yeah.
00:03:19.040 I mean, there's a physical reaction visually that you can do.
00:03:22.220 And he pauses.
00:03:23.700 Now, Chris Matthews says that's just a coffee cup coming across the table.
00:03:29.060 Let's listen to it with thinking about a coffee cup.
00:03:31.480 Could it be a coffee cup?
00:03:32.920 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:03:36.960 And the complaint that I've heard from a...
00:03:38.260 Could be.
00:03:39.260 Maybe.
00:03:40.280 I don't know.
00:03:40.840 Maybe.
00:03:40.960 It could be.
00:03:41.600 We should try to recreate.
00:03:42.960 I've got a coffee cup here.
00:03:43.500 Well, you've got to take the pens out of it.
00:03:50.120 You might need some liquid.
00:03:51.200 Do you have any liquid you can put in that thing?
00:03:53.760 Well, I've got to get all this.
00:03:56.240 This table is too smooth, I think.
00:03:58.120 Yeah, it is.
00:03:59.300 Well, what kind of...
00:04:00.500 I mean, they're getting no...
00:04:02.540 You're getting no friction at all on this table.
00:04:05.020 What kind of...
00:04:05.420 Play that again.
00:04:06.180 What kind of table does that have to be?
00:04:07.620 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:04:11.260 And the complaint that I've heard from...
00:04:12.420 Chris Matthews is the one who said it.
00:04:13.900 I don't think that there would be a problem believing that Chris Matthews has bad gas problems.
00:04:19.280 Well, and there's an indication...
00:04:20.600 I mean, this goes back historically to whoever smelt it, dealt it.
00:04:23.280 Correct.
00:04:24.120 And so...
00:04:25.000 Now, is that hearsay?
00:04:26.940 Do you have firsthand knowledge of he who smelt it, dealt it?
00:04:31.520 Or is this...
00:04:32.400 I mean, I...
00:04:33.260 I mean, hearsay...
00:04:33.960 Don't get me wrong.
00:04:34.600 Hearsay is as good as any...
00:04:36.520 Oh, it's good as gold.
00:04:37.200 It's as good as gold.
00:04:38.000 Oh, yeah.
00:04:38.500 As any firsthand, I was there, eyewitness kind of stuff.
00:04:42.100 Here's the thing.
00:04:43.460 To me, while it does sort of look like Swalwell farts there, I don't know if the audio fits it.
00:04:50.700 There's not...
00:04:51.240 He's in an echoey room.
00:04:53.760 He's supposedly wearing a lapel mic, which would not indicate...
00:04:57.660 Like, it's too far away from his butt for the air to be that clear.
00:05:02.720 Play it one more time.
00:05:05.500 Taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:05:09.480 And the complexity...
00:05:09.920 I don't know.
00:05:10.880 It seems to me more like Chris Matthews ripped one in the studio, and he's trying to hide it.
00:05:14.980 I don't know.
00:05:15.520 But our investigation, it'll go into tens of millions of dollars, and we'll spend about three years on Fartgate as we look into what's in Swalwell's pants, and what did Chris Matthews know, and when did he know it?
00:05:28.360 We have Selena Zito on the phone with us. 0.99
00:05:52.860 She is a reporter and one of the best listeners, I think, in the country.
00:05:59.580 She actually is the one who called the last election really spot on, spot on, and I think she's doing it again.
00:06:08.160 Selena, welcome to the program. 0.80
00:06:10.420 Hey, thanks so much for having me on.
00:06:12.440 Nice to talk to you, Glenn.
00:06:13.560 Good to talk to you.
00:06:14.220 I know your book is...
00:06:15.180 Is it out in paperback yet?
00:06:17.220 Yeah, it just came out in paperback this week with an update, an afterword.
00:06:21.860 That explains what happened in 2018, why that matters, what it tells us, and what we should continue to look for for 2020.
00:06:33.920 Okay, so...
00:06:34.180 Gives you an understanding.
00:06:35.400 Yeah.
00:06:35.700 So I'm reading some of the stuff that you have written recently, and yesterday you have the new phase of the Great Revolt.
00:06:43.720 And as I'm reading it last night, I'm gathering that what people did in the congressional and state elections here recently, we should not necessarily take that to mean anything for the presidential election.
00:07:01.940 And that's absolutely right.
00:07:05.200 Let's take the Kentucky governor's race for a moment.
00:07:09.480 If anybody understood Kentucky or ever went there in the national press, they wouldn't be writing, oh, it's all over because the Republican Kentucky governor lost.
00:07:20.880 I spent a lot of time in Kentucky.
00:07:23.580 Matt Bevin was not very popular.
00:07:25.460 The point of view of him by the people who live there is that he was a carpetbagger, you know?
00:07:32.600 He didn't understand Kentucky culture.
00:07:35.380 And he made a lot of series of successive out-of-touch decisions.
00:07:42.460 Yeah.
00:07:43.100 About his state.
00:07:45.240 And governor's races are about being connected to the people, and he did not demonstrate that he was.
00:07:55.700 And if you look down-ballot, Republicans not only won hugely, like in the Secretary of State race or the Attorney General race, but also they gained seats in the Senate and in the House.
00:08:11.580 So I think that saying, oh, this means Republicans don't want Trump, no.
00:08:18.020 It meant that Kentucky voters were unsatisfied with Matt Bevin.
00:08:22.580 All right.
00:08:22.900 So we're watching the impeachment today, and I think it's just hardening people's positions.
00:08:31.240 There's nothing new here as we're watching.
00:08:35.900 There's no smoking gun.
00:08:37.200 People who are against Donald Trump are so against him they'll do anything to get him out.
00:08:43.820 For those who are really even fence-sitters on Donald Trump, I think they look at this and say, this is not—this doesn't even make sense to me.
00:08:54.500 And I think it hardens people on which way they were leaning.
00:08:58.940 It's absolutely correct.
00:09:01.760 And to tell you what it reminds me of, do you remember when Scott Walker won the governor's race in 2010?
00:09:10.220 And then there was a recall election because, you know, the people who lost were unhappy.
00:09:15.860 Essentially, that's what it was.
00:09:17.600 And he came back and won that with higher percentage because people who didn't even vote for him thought, you know what, this is bogus.
00:09:29.700 This is sore loserism.
00:09:31.580 And I'm going to vote for him because I think the behavior of the Democrats is wrong.
00:09:36.860 And I'm finding a lot of that sentiment among Trump skeptics who don't particularly care for his comportment, which, by the way, is probably 70 percent of Trump voters.
00:09:52.340 They don't care for his comportment.
00:09:54.040 They like the results.
00:09:55.020 They also understand that you need to be a mean SOB to sort of break up the swamp's behavior and the establishment behavior on both sides to make effective change.
00:10:11.180 I will tell you, Selena, I said this—I mean, we talked right after.
00:10:14.340 I said this right at the beginning.
00:10:15.900 If you want to be effective and actually go against Donald Trump, you can't just throw everything at him.
00:10:28.200 They started from the beginning, and it drove people—I mean, when I put the MAGA hat on, I don't know, about a year or two ago, mine was not a full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump because I like many of his policies.
00:10:43.420 For instance, side note, Your Honor, just what he did with Israel just yesterday.
00:10:47.740 I like many of his policies, but he is so hard to defend because of the way he just is.
00:10:56.540 But you know what?
00:10:57.960 The way they're taking him on in Congress, through the State Department, and in the media, God bless him.
00:11:05.260 Just keep going, Donald.
00:11:06.700 Just keep going.
00:11:07.500 It's a sentiment shared by people, and here's what really always gets under my skin, Glenn, is that the people in my profession don't understand that sentiment.
00:11:19.280 And you know why?
00:11:20.200 Because they live in the super zip codes of this country, and they don't know anyone who thinks or looks or acts the way that people do outside of those super zip codes.
00:11:32.960 They control the media, they control entertainment, they control sports, they control corporations, and this populist coalition has been building for over 12 years.
00:11:45.140 Donald Trump didn't cause it.
00:11:47.200 He is the result of it.
00:11:48.820 And the important thing about the Great Revolt is this continues long after 2020.
00:11:55.220 This coalition is not going away for at least a generation.
00:11:59.760 What I would tell people to do is everyone in my profession says, oh, it's all up to the suburbs.
00:12:06.020 That's right.
00:12:07.040 But not all suburbs are created equal.
00:12:10.560 Suburban voter in Erie County, Pennsylvania, or Kenosha, Wisconsin, or Baldwin, Michigan, or Macomb County, Michigan, does not look, act, or behave the same way a suburban voter in Philadelphia or Northern Virginia behaved and votes.
00:12:29.760 Those are the voters who are going to make a difference.
00:12:33.180 They have the exact same education that their cousins have in Northern Virginia and Philadelphia, but they live among a variety of different viewpoints.
00:12:44.180 And they are connected and rooted to community where voters in Northern Virginia are very transient.
00:12:52.620 They aren't rooted to their community.
00:12:54.640 Community doesn't mean the same thing.
00:12:56.520 And voting for Donald Trump is about community and localism.
00:13:00.300 And I have to tell you, and I would love to hear you respond to this, Selena.
00:13:04.800 As I travel around, I just have this sense that there's a lot of people that would have voted for another candidate that wasn't corrupt and wasn't a hardcore socialist and or even hanging around all the socialists.
00:13:24.360 I think there's a lot of people who are Democrats, who are blue-collar, et cetera, et cetera, who may not like Donald Trump but will vote for him because they feel like the Democratic Party has left the building and they have left the insane socialists in charge.
00:13:43.360 Yes, that's absolutely true.
00:13:46.040 All you have to do is keep your eye on Western Pennsylvania throughout this whole process.
00:13:50.640 Most of the candidates on the Democratic side that are running said they believe in a ban on fracking on day one.
00:13:57.360 Well, let me tell you, Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, also Texas, Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, these are areas that are thriving because of the shale industry.
00:14:09.480 Lives and communities are being changed because they are now prosperous again.
00:14:16.240 And so to ban it is to take – how are you going to sort of – it's a binary choice, right?
00:14:22.400 I've got Trump, who I like his policies, don't like his personality.
00:14:25.820 I've got the Democrats.
00:14:26.920 Oh, they want to take my job away on the day they're sworn in.
00:14:30.380 I think I'll go with the guy with the weird Twitter account because at least he has my back.
00:14:35.960 And a Democrat cannot win the White House without winning Pennsylvania.
00:14:41.440 A Republican can.
00:14:42.900 And a Democrat cannot win Pennsylvania without winning Western Pennsylvania.
00:14:47.120 So that's why you have to keep an eye on those areas because that's where those sentiments will be reflected anytime someone visits there.
00:14:58.700 And they will understand why Trump – if it was held tomorrow, he would win the election.
00:15:05.040 And that's hard for people who live in either the East Coast or the West Coast to understand because they don't know anybody else in the middle.
00:15:15.600 Remember this.
00:15:16.880 This is in the Great Revolt.
00:15:18.800 The 34 percent of Trump voters in 2016, which right now seems like the Aussie and Harriet Hour era because it seems nicer than it was today.
00:15:30.140 34 percent of Trump voters did not tell a family member or a friend that they were voting for him.
00:15:35.560 Thirty-four percent.
00:15:37.700 That was in 2016.
00:15:39.040 I mean, I can't even – my mind just can't even wrap around how people would – how they're going to approach it now given the intensity of the cancel culture.
00:15:52.300 You know, I mean, you say you're going to vote for Trump.
00:15:55.220 You have to worry about losing your job or affecting the people that work for you or affecting your family or affecting your social status.
00:16:02.540 How is the impeachment affecting all of this?
00:16:06.920 You had it absolutely right.
00:16:08.360 If you love Trump on Election Day 2016, you're still optimistic about the future.
00:16:15.600 But what about those swing people, the people that are – you know, they don't necessarily like that they are voting for a Republican, let alone Donald Trump.
00:16:28.360 What about those people who voted for him last time?
00:16:30.700 Has this made any impact on them?
00:16:33.280 None.
00:16:33.980 Zero.
00:16:34.360 I have a story coming out about that in the New York Post on Sunday.
00:16:38.360 I went back to the people in the book, people that were skeptical, people that had a hard time, you know, and people who supported him outright but had reservations.
00:16:49.340 It's Groundhog Day.
00:16:50.940 Nothing has changed.
00:16:51.900 Their support for him has only gotten stronger.
00:16:53.680 Because they look at this and say, you know, they've been trying to impeach him since day one.
00:16:58.300 They just finally found something they think can make stick.
00:17:01.580 But they're watching this intensely.
00:17:05.940 Like, there's no there there.
00:17:08.140 I mean, in their minds, they think this is not an impeachable offense.
00:17:14.840 This is something that someone does who is not part of the Washington system, and this is how they behave.
00:17:21.260 This is how Trump always behaves.
00:17:22.740 What about those Democrats who vote for Democrats, but they are afraid of the socialist movement of the Democrat?
00:17:31.240 Will they just sit it out, or will they vote for the socialist Democrat or a Democrat?
00:17:40.860 No, they won't vote for the socialist Democrat.
00:17:43.620 They'll either sit it out, or they'll hold their nose and vote for Trump.
00:17:48.020 That's why I keep my eye on Minnesota as well.
00:17:51.660 That's a state he only lost by 45,000 votes, and I just spent some time there.
00:17:56.220 And you see the swing towards him in that state, and that broadens his coalition.
00:18:04.800 That doesn't add to shrinking his coalition.
00:18:10.260 I've heard talk from some people that they believe that this could be a Reagan-Mondale election.
00:18:16.480 I don't think it would be that strong, but do you think there is a chance that it's not anything like we're expecting?
00:18:22.960 If the Democrats go too crazy on this impeachment, which you've already shown that they have no problem doing,
00:18:31.660 and they pick someone very far left, such as Elizabeth Warren or Pete Buttigieg,
00:18:36.920 then, yeah, you would see a Lent-Lent side election, absolutely.
00:18:40.220 All right.
00:18:40.780 With no doubt in my mind.
00:18:42.740 Selena, thank you so much.
00:18:43.900 The name of the book is The Great Revolt.
00:18:45.960 And I'm anxious to see your next article and get the update to your book.
00:18:51.440 Selena's the one who really listened to people and was the one who finally really, just listening to her,
00:18:59.580 explained it to me, and I was like, oh, my gosh, I get it.
00:19:02.880 It's called The Great Revolt by her and Brad Todd, who also is instrumental in putting this together.
00:19:10.560 It's out in paperback now.
00:19:11.920 Selena, thank you so much.
00:19:13.720 Thanks so much for having me.
00:19:15.000 You bet.
00:19:15.380 God bless.

00:19:54.020 There's a lot of things going on today.
00:19:56.180 I want to talk to you a little bit about what happened yesterday with Israel and also Chick-fil-A,
00:20:00.740 which they came out and they said they were giving up their charity.
00:20:05.880 A contract ran out with the charity known as the Salvation Army.
00:20:11.660 And the press is spinning this as, you know, they're just going after the gay chicken money.
00:20:17.480 But we, is this right?
00:20:18.800 We have Santa on the phone.
00:20:20.640 Oh, hello, Santa.
00:20:23.280 Merry Christmas, Glenn.
00:20:25.580 Yeah, Merry, Merry Christmas to you, too.
00:20:26.860 Have you been a good boy or girl?
00:20:29.080 I've been a boy my whole life there, Santa.
00:20:31.980 Well, that's how I have to ask it now.
00:20:33.440 Have you been a good boy or girl?
00:20:35.040 Right, okay.
00:20:35.900 I mean, come on, Chick-fil-A.
00:20:38.880 I mean, I've been, you're taking money from the Salvation freaking army?
00:20:45.140 Well, it's, I'm not.
00:20:46.960 Here I am sitting at like 1,200 Walmarts at the same time raising money.
00:20:51.060 Right, right.
00:20:51.300 And I got to deal with this crap?
00:20:52.820 Right.
00:20:53.400 Right, right.
00:20:54.020 I'm Santa.
00:20:54.880 I love the gays.
00:20:56.460 Look at my suit.
00:20:58.700 Super frilly.
00:20:59.720 So Santa loves the gays. 1.00
00:21:01.880 I put bells on everything.
00:21:03.880 Right.
00:21:04.020 Hello.
00:21:05.860 I mean, I got to say a lot of the streets around here were not for the tinsel.
00:21:11.020 Right.
00:21:11.220 They said it was over the top.
00:21:12.280 I pushed for it.
00:21:13.220 Right, okay.
00:21:14.140 Okay.
00:21:14.560 All right.
00:21:14.940 When I got a request from some kid named Stan that wants a Barbie, I don't bring a do-it-yourself
00:21:20.020 gay conversion therapy kid instead. 0.95
00:21:22.260 That's not what I'm doing here.
00:21:23.260 Right, right.
00:21:24.160 So maybe, maybe the Salvation Army is something that-
00:21:29.620 I'm trying to feed people here, homeless people, not butch up your toddler.
00:21:33.940 Right.
00:21:34.100 And might I remind you, I'm a guy who is inside your home while you're asleep.
00:21:41.780 Right.
00:21:42.060 Okay.
00:21:42.860 I have access to your fireplace.
00:21:45.360 Right.
00:21:46.080 I know when you are sleeping.
00:21:49.220 Stop screwing with me.
00:21:50.800 All right.
00:21:52.320 Thank you very much.
00:21:53.440 That's an official response from Santa about Chick-fil-A distancing themselves from the Salvation
00:22:02.180 Army, which I am not sure that's anything other than spin on what actually happened from Chick-fil-A.
00:22:09.840 We're waiting for a comment from Chick-fil-A.
00:22:15.700 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:39.760 Uh, can we, are we going to, uh, stop for the breaking news?
00:22:44.760 Uh-oh.
00:22:46.080 We do.
00:22:46.880 Okay.
00:22:47.420 We have an update on Fart Investigation 2019.
00:22:50.540 Oh, fart?
00:22:51.480 Fart.
00:22:51.980 Fart Investigation?
00:22:52.960 Fart Investigation.
00:22:53.940 Yes.
00:22:54.380 Fartgate being investigated.
00:22:56.020 Fartgate, which is...
00:22:57.900 Eric Swalwell farting on national television.
00:22:59.920 Or did he?
00:23:01.440 Right.
00:23:01.920 Well, this is the big controversy.
00:23:03.100 I, I will tell you, it took a lot to restrain myself, but I did restrain myself on Twitter
00:23:08.380 yesterday because I thought there's no way that fart is true.
00:23:12.020 Somebody just added that fart onto that and I wasn't going to be a part of that.
00:23:16.760 But now I find out, and this is real, I come in the morning and yes, that sound was not
00:23:22.760 added later.
00:23:23.560 This is the original clip with Eric Swalwell and Chris Matthews.
00:23:27.440 Uh, you'll hear Eric talking and then somebody just rips one in the middle of the, of the
00:23:32.060 statement and you see a physical reaction by Swalwell.
00:23:35.600 But that, is that misleading people from the real facts behind the story?
00:23:42.320 Here's the audience.
00:23:43.620 The evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians
00:23:47.560 to help him cheat an election.
00:23:49.280 Dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. 0.99
00:23:52.140 It looks like he pushes it out with the E.
00:23:54.360 Like it's cheat.
00:23:55.520 Yeah.
00:23:56.200 I mean, he's just cheat through the election and that was what pushes it out.
00:23:59.860 It does look like it.
00:24:01.420 It does look like that.
00:24:02.100 It does look like it.
00:24:02.920 Now, looks can be deceiving.
00:24:05.080 Yes.
00:24:05.820 Now, Chris Matthews, I was going to present this the way that the alternate theory is
00:24:11.880 developing.
00:24:12.980 Chris Matthews, he's back in studio.
00:24:14.640 He knows it's not Eric Swalwell.
00:24:16.480 Eric Swalwell has taken all the heat for it.
00:24:18.300 So what does he do?
00:24:19.400 Swalwell is going to call him out and say, you're the guy that farted, Matthews.
00:24:22.740 You're the guy who farted on television.
00:24:24.220 And Matthews has to come out and release a statement saying, no, it wasn't Swalwell or Swalwell
00:24:29.020 will come out with the truth.
00:24:30.820 So what he does is he said, oh, it was a mug.
00:24:32.540 We've already tried to simulate the mug.
00:24:35.100 Do you want to give us another quick mug simulation?
00:24:36.620 Yeah, let me just give you the simulation.
00:24:37.620 Here's the mug on my desk.
00:24:39.040 Here it is.
00:24:42.100 Does not sound like a fart.
00:24:43.440 Does not sound like a fart whatsoever.
00:24:44.640 Does not sound like a fart.
00:24:45.120 We know that.
00:24:45.800 Okay.
00:24:46.140 Well, investigations are going on and information is coming out.
00:24:48.800 And there have maybe been some other situations where Chris Matthews has farted on the air
00:24:55.460 during interviews.
00:24:56.520 Don't believe it.
00:24:58.280 That would be the normal stance.
00:24:59.840 And it would be one I would understand.
00:25:01.220 Right.
00:25:01.440 Okay.
00:25:01.780 Okay.
00:25:02.040 All right.
00:25:02.360 But let me just present the evidence.
00:25:03.820 All right.
00:25:04.020 Go ahead.
00:25:04.340 Here is clip number one.
00:25:06.360 And said that when he pleaded guilty to these charges in the Southern District of New York.
00:25:10.680 But what's different today is that.
00:25:12.480 I heard that.
00:25:12.860 Now you heard that.
00:25:13.400 That sounded very similar to the cup across the desk.
00:25:18.100 It did sound a lot like the cup across the desk.
00:25:19.920 What is this desk made out of?
00:25:21.580 I don't understand.
00:25:23.620 Fart sounding material of some sort.
00:25:25.600 Not a thing.
00:25:26.200 Right.
00:25:26.520 Okay.
00:25:26.880 Okay.
00:25:27.360 All right.
00:25:27.880 Next clip.
00:25:28.660 Another clip of Chris Matthews doing an interview.
00:25:30.600 Listen.
00:25:31.140 Wow.
00:25:31.700 What a critique.
00:25:32.340 And with me now is Scott Arsenault.
00:25:33.620 He's the executive director of the Florida Democratic Party.
00:25:35.960 And Bob Shrum is a Democratic strategist who's been through a lot of these races.
00:25:39.780 Scott, just give me the skinny here. 1.00
00:25:41.280 Can we get a clean, fair, honest?
00:25:45.560 Now have these been added?
00:25:47.000 Because it sounds like they've been added.
00:25:49.840 I don't know.
00:25:50.320 I'm not up on that.
00:25:51.000 But we are told this is a real investigation.
00:25:52.240 I don't know your source of who is collecting fart sounds from Chris Matthews.
00:26:00.440 Many sources around the internet actually.
00:26:02.200 Okay.
00:26:02.420 So there's another one.
00:26:03.280 Here's another one.
00:26:04.120 You're taking the president of the United States down into a...
00:26:06.080 So that really depends on how it's ultimately structured.
00:26:09.140 If they were able to make some sort of a...
00:26:11.760 I mean, I'm hearing them.
00:26:14.540 I'm hearing them, too.
00:26:15.640 And I will tell you, he is at that point to where he's an old man.
00:26:20.860 He's very old, Glenn.
00:26:22.500 Yeah.
00:26:22.860 And sometimes when you hit that age that starts with a one and then has a two after it and then there's like a three or four after that, things are hard to control.
00:26:32.420 Right.
00:26:32.600 I mean, it's not Chris's fault, per se.
00:26:34.420 I mean, when I get into that situation, I'm going to be saying to Doris Kearns Goodwin, pull my finger.
00:26:41.760 Right.
00:26:42.100 I mean...
00:26:42.560 You just go for it.
00:26:43.060 I'll just go for it.
00:26:43.960 I'll just go for it.
00:26:45.160 But Chris is, I think...
00:26:47.220 So what you're saying here in this fart investigation is that, don't be so hasty, it's probably not Swalwell.
00:26:55.160 Yeah.
00:26:55.360 And so people are blaming Swalwell.
00:26:57.080 And look, he's had a rough year.
00:26:59.820 Yes.
00:27:00.060 You know, there's an argument to be made that the fart in question lasted longer than his campaign.
00:27:04.940 Right.
00:27:05.680 And that's not good.
00:27:06.440 And smelled about the same.
00:27:08.340 Maybe.
00:27:09.040 Maybe better.
00:27:09.820 However, as much as I think Swalwell's a funny target of this, number one, I want the truth.
00:27:19.140 Okay?
00:27:19.520 I want the truth here.
00:27:20.400 That's what we're about.
00:27:21.220 Right.
00:27:21.580 Okay?
00:27:21.760 That's number one.
00:27:22.580 Number two, I feel like Chris Matthews might be a better target.
00:27:25.860 No one knows who Eric Swalwell is.
00:27:28.200 No one cares.
00:27:29.420 Eric Swalwell kind of came and went, and no one's going to ever hear from the guy again.
00:27:33.140 Chris Matthews is a guy I kind of want to believe farts on the air.
00:27:37.700 I want it to be true.
00:27:39.060 And therefore, I should tell you this.
00:27:41.180 I mean, is this a, I had to work in an atmosphere with an old man that was farting all the time? 1.00
00:27:48.180 Because I think there's a lesser Me Too movement that could be had.
00:27:53.740 Me Number Two movement?
00:27:54.900 Yeah.
00:27:55.500 I mean, no, he didn't touch me or grope me or anything like that.
00:27:59.620 Right.
00:27:59.900 But he farted around me all the time.
00:28:04.320 Especially during interviews.
00:28:05.540 This is why you notice none of these interviews are guests in studio.
00:28:09.060 They've all booked it to be outside.
00:28:10.780 You know, tomorrow we might do an expose on this.
00:28:13.980 And we ask you tomorrow to just wear a green, brownish-greenish ribbon on your lapel tomorrow.
00:28:23.820 Chargers and some sort of a cheat.
00:28:26.560 In support of...
00:28:26.960 Did you hear that?
00:28:29.440 Yeah, no, I play it one more time.
00:28:31.540 Chargers and some sort of a cheat.
00:28:33.900 This is not a borderline issue.
00:28:37.220 That's a montage of all three clips.
00:28:39.040 Okay, I am actually paying people to make fart montages.
00:28:43.300 I am re-evaluating.
00:28:45.220 A fartage?
00:28:46.560 A fartage.
00:28:47.940 Thank you.
00:28:48.440 Thank you, Stuart.
