This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.460
Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.420
All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.
00:00:18.860
And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.240
Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:44.600
And it is so good because he doesn't talk about anything we were talking about today.
00:00:49.400
Because what we were talking about, fire, fire, fire, fire, you know, and making fun of making fun of all those people in California.
00:00:56.580
That was good, but not as good as Joe Rogan is going to be.
00:01:01.340
Also, once Trump becomes president again, will he be able to get the Epstein P. Diddy list released without being in harm's way?
00:01:10.040
And what's happening in Texas is most likely happening in your state, too.
00:01:15.420
How we have to watch our states and the rhinos, all on today's podcast.
00:01:21.980
You know, I love the fact that there's, you know, there's video of firefighters looking what, using what looks like purses, women's purses.
00:01:48.480
You know, so they're throwing water and gum and, you know, other things that are at the bottom of women's purses to put this thing out.
00:01:56.540
Actually, those are on the water trucks and they're made for small, little small fires.
00:02:05.080
You know, if you don't have to pull out the hose, you use one of those ladies' purse-like things and you fill them with water.
00:02:12.120
This isn't one of those scenarios where you would be using one of those purse-like things, but it's the only thing they got.
00:02:24.680
And you feel bad because these firefighters are truly being heroic.
00:02:29.040
Like, they're going out there in the middle of impossible situations and going to, yeah, going to, with nothing even, including water, and they're sitting there showing up to the correct place to fight the correct fire, and they can't have access to the most basic of elements in our world, the most basic elements of life.
00:02:51.860
They can't get water, despite the fact a lot of these homes are a few blocks away from an ocean, and they can't, I mean, it's unbelievable these people are risking their lives.
00:03:04.800
We have how many, 10 confirmed dead already in these fires, and good God, you know that number's going a lot higher.
00:03:12.920
You hope not, but I mean, you know it is, right?
00:03:16.780
There's, you know, I don't know, maybe I'm unlike everybody else, but like last night, I couldn't get off watching the social media and watching all the clips from these poor fires, people driving by these homes.
00:03:30.320
It looks like what was promised during shock and awe back in the Iraq war.
00:03:40.020
You should put a, we should put a side-by-side of the after of Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
00:03:47.400
The aerial photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki look exactly like the aerial photos now of Los Angeles.
00:03:56.860
And it's incredible that, you know, there's, they knew this was coming.
00:04:06.000
It's only a matter of time before L.A. burns to the ground, and it might.
00:04:14.720
How, how is it that, you know, did you hear Joe Biden with Kamala Harris yesterday?
00:04:36.380
And, you know, we're not to the point yet, as you mentioned yesterday, where like, you're
00:04:43.420
A lot of them are policy wise, but it's hard to imagine a more fitting end to the Biden presidency
00:04:52.240
Like, I don't know that there's any other way to explain what he's done over the past
00:04:57.160
four years, other than a city wiped out to the ground, because it's on fire and the government
00:05:10.900
Madam Vice President, I know you're directly affected.
00:05:30.540
I mean, you're, you have the biggest fire in American history, the most costliest fire
00:05:38.200
And you're going to be like, it just, you know, you take it, take it, girl.
00:05:47.160
I like how, too, this Joe Biden continues to give her all the best jobs.
00:05:53.680
Remember at the beginning, he gave her the border czar and, hey, just fix the Ukraine
00:06:00.000
And now it's like, hey, this city's burned to the ground.
00:06:09.300
Here is, you know, yesterday we played the audio of the fire chief who just, there's not,
00:06:15.660
there's never enough lesbians in any corporation.
00:06:21.560
We can never have too many lesbians and all for it.
00:06:26.980
Uh, I, I prefer that, uh, they're good fire people, you know, uh, you know, there's nothing
00:06:38.940
Well, no, I mean, good fire people, fire people, you know what I mean?
00:06:44.740
If you're not good at your job, uh, you should, you know, you shouldn't have that job.
00:06:51.620
So you're saying fire people that aren't lesbians, fire all the people that aren't lesbians.
00:06:56.580
I think that's the policy now in this is the, this is, I'm going to place a body for you
00:07:04.100
So we know that the one that is in charge is there's not enough lesbians.
00:07:16.180
Fire chief, uh, assistant fire chief, listen to what she said.
00:07:22.040
You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical
00:07:28.840
It gives that person a little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their
00:07:35.920
Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is he got himself in
00:07:43.800
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's our, oh, did the people, I'm sorry.
00:07:49.040
Did the people in Palisades, uh, were they in the wrong place?
00:07:54.960
It's not her responsibility to haul your fat ass out of the couch.
00:07:58.840
That's an, I mean, it's actually more incredible than the diversity stuff.
00:08:07.460
I mean, I just like to remind you when we have the world's biggest and fattest Americans,
00:08:13.460
it's the fire people who take them out over the wall of their house.
00:08:18.020
I mean, let's just remember that is part of their job.
00:08:22.980
Well, he got himself into that situation, trapped in a house that's on fire.
00:08:33.100
Now you'll be happy to know, uh, she's not well-paid.
00:08:37.340
Uh, she only makes, she only makes $399,000 a year.
00:08:43.280
So, um, you know, and you get yourself trapped in a fire.
00:08:53.980
Uh, but, uh, and I don't know if she's a lesbian, she didn't seem like a lesbian, but she is
00:09:14.760
Although I think in Los Angeles, uh, DEI is becoming a little more like D I E, you know,
00:09:22.020
uh, does seem that some of the letters does see, uh, does seem that way.
00:09:27.140
Hey, if you can't get out of the house, I'm not going to go in there, risk my life for
00:09:41.500
We need people that look like the people in the house because it'll give the people in
00:09:47.020
the house more confidence that they're going to put that fire out.
00:09:50.780
Uh, and I know, I know if my house was on fire, be like, wait, wait, wait, let me look
00:10:06.800
You know what gives me confidence when my house is on fire?
00:10:09.580
Somebody who's putting my house out or has the guts to run in and save my wife, my children.
00:10:19.660
These seven-year-old kids were sleeping in the upper bunk.
00:10:27.360
They're, first of all, sleeping in the second floor.
00:10:30.400
That floor could fall out underneath me at any time.
00:10:38.720
Maybe next time you'll choose to sleep in the basement or by the front door in a house
00:10:47.000
And plus, I don't want some adult coming to save me.
00:11:09.240
Just one more thing about Karen Bass, who is doing a bang-up job.
00:11:17.920
But Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, she was giving some information yesterday.
00:11:30.140
Right now, if you need help, emergency information, resources, and shelter is available.
00:11:40.120
Los Angeles, together, is how we will get through this.
00:11:44.680
Stu, would you find that information at URL for me?
00:12:01.580
All the information I needed about Karen Bass is in that clip.
00:12:05.300
But that's not, it doesn't tell me anything about the fires.
00:12:10.940
You imagine people are like at home if they don't know what U-R-L is.
00:12:15.000
And who doesn't, at this point, honestly, who does not know what U-R-L means?
00:12:21.120
You know, it's like, find all the information at www.
00:12:37.200
But, you know, then again, I mean, it's hard to look bad next to Newsom.
00:12:41.540
Did you see when Newsom was in the street and some woman came up to him?
00:12:45.980
And he's like, oh, I've got a, I've got the president on the phone.
00:13:17.020
I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the question.
00:13:26.100
He's literally talking to the president right now.
00:13:44.240
That's why I'm walking around to make the call.
00:13:51.280
So he's literally not talking to the president right now.
00:13:55.520
He's literally trying to talk to the president right now.
00:14:01.980
And, you know, honestly, what do you people in L.A. expect?
00:14:10.260
I mean, you know, what do you, there's a fire going on.
00:14:19.480
I was waiting for him to just go, yeah, and we'll help you out as soon as.
00:14:33.500
And I will say, it's really sad to see the city of Los Angeles go up in flames.
00:14:39.000
I'm not as sad to see Gavin Newsom 2028 going down in flames as we watch this go on.
00:14:44.600
Because how could this guy, how could, he wants to be your next president desperately.
00:14:54.440
But how could anybody put him in office after watching this?
00:14:56.800
Well, I mean, you have to read all the facts about him.
00:15:01.820
Now, let me move on to the funeral yesterday of Jimmy Carter.
00:15:09.680
I have never seen, honestly, I mean, it was like the housewives of Washington, D.C.
00:15:19.080
I've never seen the presidential squad with all the living presidents look so,
00:15:29.300
Let me just start with the video of them just walking in and being ushered in.
00:15:38.760
Bill Clinton looks like, you know, he's probably the next to go.
00:15:49.860
Here's Mike Pence giving him a warm handshake to Melania and Donald Trump.
00:15:58.040
It was the one-year anniversary of her mother's death yesterday.
00:16:04.660
So, you know, one-year death of somebody like your mom is really tough.
00:16:15.180
I think she's just the classiest first lady we've had, at least in my lifetime.
00:16:21.620
And she has had pretty much the same kind of pressure on her that Jackie O did.
00:16:32.860
Then you get, let's go to Obama cutting up with Donald Trump.
00:16:42.500
And play the video now of Donald Trump and Barack Obama.
00:16:57.580
Now, I'm going to get back into the lip reading thing here in a second.
00:17:09.980
you've been on one side of this, one side or the other.
00:17:13.900
You know when somebody's talking and screwing around in a movie theater,
00:17:18.360
and there's that person who doesn't want to say anything
00:17:25.180
but they just turn around and give you a look like, die.
00:17:33.060
They just turn around and look at you like, stop it.
00:17:36.340
And then they turn around and they're in a huff.
00:17:39.860
Well, that's what happened with Kamala yesterday.
00:17:42.500
As Barack Obama is laughing, she turns around like that school marm.
00:17:52.100
And then turns around and then picks up her program and pretends to read it.
00:18:01.060
When they come in and they're seating, they seat the first lady
00:18:14.600
When they're sitting down, then they bring in Jill and Joe Biden.
00:18:22.060
I mean, I'm in the mountains of the West right now.
00:18:26.640
Now, it's, I don't know, outside it's probably one.
00:18:31.720
It was colder in that church when those two saw each other than it is right now.
00:18:49.440
Uh, and let me tell you about the, the lip reader.
00:19:05.180
And at one point, Trump, this according to a lip reader,
00:19:08.480
uh, Trump leans over toward, toward Obama and says,
00:19:16.040
Now, I don't know if he was talking about Kamala or, I don't know what,
00:19:22.900
it might've been some sort of a deal, global war.
00:19:25.520
I don't know what it was, but, um, the speculation is maybe it's the Iran nuclear deal
00:19:35.200
Um, uh, they don't know what they were discussing, but Obama laughs.
00:19:52.480
The TV pool camera, uh, cut away, uh, from the two guys.
00:19:57.100
And then when it comes back on, Trump says, call me at the foy after.
00:20:03.600
Um, and maybe that was the foyer or there's a, a little known hotel called the foy.
00:20:10.180
At this point, I'm starting to question the lip reading.
00:20:14.420
I like, maybe he meant the foyer, but only said the foy.
00:20:20.400
And he wanted to call him when he was in the foyer.
00:20:44.260
Then Obama said, can you just, it should be good.
00:20:53.600
Like sometimes you have information you don't need to communicate to other people.
00:20:56.720
And if what you came up with as a lip reader is, and they said, he said, I want to ed squirrel.
00:21:06.620
Like if that's what you came up with, just don't probably not reading it.
00:21:19.840
This is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so we can deal with it.
00:21:36.020
What would be important that would make Barack Obama laugh that they had to deal with today?
00:21:44.580
The two of them, the lip reader also interpreted Obama as saying, listen,
00:22:16.780
I, I mean, maybe, I don't know who they hired as a lip reader, but, uh, oh, here it is.
00:22:26.260
We do have a sentence for Donald Trump that has just come down.
00:22:31.940
And it is an incredible lip reader or the sentence from the judge.
00:22:36.000
I'm lip reading people on TV as we do the show.
00:22:40.520
They've, uh, they, I got a sentence from the lip reader.
00:22:51.960
This is, I, this is not me misreading a lip reader.
00:22:57.300
The judge has sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge.
00:23:08.580
You take some medication and it, it, it clears up, but that unintentional or unrelenting or
00:23:15.620
Unconditional discharge can be, if you have antibiotic cream, you can get rid of that pretty quickly.
00:23:22.640
So unconditional discharge just means like, they just let them go.
00:23:31.900
We spent millions and millions of dollars to say, hey, Don, see you later.
00:23:40.100
If you have, if you have discharge of any kind, call your doctor.
00:23:49.160
If that unconditional discharge lasts for four hours or more, you need to see a physician immediately.
00:23:56.540
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:09.040
She's the host of Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered on Blaze TV.
00:24:12.900
She has also just been named Madam Vice President of the Texas Family Project, which is working
00:24:20.540
to save children from all kinds of sexual things.
00:24:29.880
I appreciate you calling me by my rightful title, of course, Madam Vice President.
00:24:39.440
But anyway, so, so, so, Sarah, first, let's talk about the Texas Family Project.
00:24:45.700
What, what are you, what is it that they do, as if I don't know?
00:24:51.100
So, so I was working with them previously on my initiative, Defend Our Kids Texas, in which,
00:24:56.000
of course, we are working to stop the sexualization of children in the state of Texas.
00:25:00.100
Texas Family Project, I decided to take on a larger role just to work on all the great
00:25:05.180
work, not just for families, but, you know, of course, for children with school choice,
00:25:09.540
you know, with making sure that, you know, casinos, casino gambling doesn't come in and
00:25:17.640
But there is just so much work that we still need to do here in the state.
00:25:22.080
And Texas Family Project, you know, I've partnered with them and done so much already.
00:25:26.120
And so we decided, you know what, let's join together and strengthen our relationship and
00:25:29.880
help to, to save children and strengthen families here in the state of Texas.
00:25:34.000
And if anyone is, is, you know, wants more information, they can go to texasfamilyproject.com
00:25:46.900
Yeah, I mean, no, no, no, I, it's the same question that I had as well.
00:25:51.760
Um, but you would be surprised at the, the statistics they show with, you know, when
00:25:56.640
casinos come into certain areas, there is more gambling addiction that then goes on
00:26:01.800
to, to absolutely financially destroy families.
00:26:05.980
I mean, you would be shocked to see the statistics on how it actually does harm families and family
00:26:12.480
dynamics when you bring that type of thing into Texas.
00:26:16.080
It's just like you, a traditionalist that wants to define family in only one way.
00:26:20.860
Let me tell you, the casinos are run by family.
00:26:28.280
So Sarah, I want to talk to you about, uh, a story that seems like it's very Texas, but
00:26:33.260
it's not, this is happening in all of our States.
00:26:35.600
It's happening in our federal government as well.
00:26:38.180
Uh, and it is, uh, something that Donald Trump needs to be very, very aware of.
00:26:43.400
And I think he is of these people who pretend to be just like you.
00:26:48.980
Um, but they're not just like you Republicans who will give away the entire country to the
00:26:58.760
Um, we had a speaker of the house here, Phelan, which you helped, uh, get out of the, uh,
00:27:08.480
I mean, it's almost impossible to be elected here, uh, in Texas as a Democrat.
00:27:15.380
And so Democrats just changed their label to Republican and they run as Republicans.
00:27:23.120
Um, well, this guy becomes a speaker of the house and he throws in with the Democrats.
00:27:27.560
Democrats and was in for a long time and, uh, was appointing Democrats as chair of different
00:27:37.120
And one of them was, uh, education and trying to get school choice through.
00:27:47.200
And now we've got, I think his best friend is trying to horn in and do the same thing and
00:27:54.340
become the chair of the house and they vote on Tuesday.
00:27:59.460
So, um, so Dade Phelan, unfortunately is still technically in the house as a representative,
00:28:04.800
but it became very clear and very obvious that he did not have enough support.
00:28:08.380
His name was too tarnished to secure the position of speaker.
00:28:11.220
So he had to drop out after, you know, uh, indignantly saying he was going to be the next
00:28:19.640
His little crony, the rhino Dustin Burroughs here in the state of Texas filed to run for
00:28:25.900
And Glenn, you won't believe what happened after that.
00:28:28.320
The GOP caucus met to select their next speaker because of course, I mean, obviously Texas has
00:28:34.600
And so you would assume whoever the GOP caucus selects should be the rightful speaker of the
00:28:41.060
But when it became obvious that Dustin Burroughs, Dade's bestie was not going to secure a majority
00:28:46.540
of the Republicans, he and about 31 other rhinos, you know, similar to my four-year-old
00:28:52.540
throwing a temper tantrum, they just left the caucus meeting.
00:28:55.620
They just took their balls and they went home and they refused to participate in the process
00:29:01.740
So first of all, may I just say, first of all, it's take their ball.
00:29:07.580
Uh, and I think that's important to say because the way you said it insinuated that rhinos
00:29:21.640
So the remaining members, of course, in the Republican party finished the process and David
00:29:26.480
Cook was selected to become the next speaker of the house in that process.
00:29:34.880
He understands that we need to ban Democrat chairs.
00:29:38.100
He has signed on to all of that and he was selected within that process.
00:29:42.320
Well, the rhinos have decided they're not going down without a fight.
00:29:45.660
So Dustin Burroughs, instead of following the GOP caucus rules that state that Republicans
00:29:50.440
have to get in line once they have their little meeting, he decided that he was going to partner
00:29:58.020
He's now boasting more Democrat support than Republicans, if you can believe that.
00:30:02.820
So he's listed, according to one of their members, Burroughs has listed 31 Republicans
00:30:07.720
and 38 Democrats that are supporting him right now to become Speaker of the House.
00:30:13.380
So we are now in the state of Texas in a battle for who is going to control the Texas House,
00:30:19.080
Democrats or Republicans, even though there are 88 Republicans and 62 Democrats that are
00:30:30.260
This vote's going to happen and we're going to go right back to the crap we had if the
00:30:44.240
You've got to keep your eyes peeled for this stuff.
00:30:48.560
So you can go to everyone within the state of Texas.
00:30:51.960
Please go to wrm.capital.texas.gov to find your state representative if you don't know
00:31:09.580
I mean, you could also Google, you know, but wrm.capital.texas.gov to find your state rep.
00:31:16.660
Now, if you already know who your state rep is, reach out to them, email them, send them
00:31:22.500
a message on social media where everyone can see it publicly, call their office, make sure
00:31:27.660
that they know that you expect them to vote for the rightful Speaker of the House, the
00:31:32.020
same person, by the way, who Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and
00:31:36.340
Attorney General Ken Paxton all have unified around him and pointed out and acknowledged
00:31:41.340
this is the rightful winner of the Texas Speaker race.
00:31:47.000
What people can do aside from reaching out, they can, of course, get ready for another
00:31:51.560
primary season because last primary we had unprecedented losses for all of these rhino
00:31:57.460
There were 15 of them that were unseated by someone who was more conservative after the
00:32:02.840
So Texas grassroots is not messing around anymore.
00:32:05.680
They have put these guys on notice that if you want to fight us, we will replace you.
00:32:11.300
And on top of that, you have the Texas GOP who has put into place a new rule that if you
00:32:17.500
get censured by the party, it's no longer just a sternly worded letter to the manager
00:32:22.840
You know, it's like, oh, well, we're going to censure you and you're going to hear from
00:32:27.300
This one actually has teeth now and it can actually lead to the Republican Party removing
00:32:31.880
these members' names from the primary ballot as a Republican candidate.
00:32:35.700
So it's got these members very, very upset, very uneasy.
00:32:40.520
One of them actually, Representative Cody Harris, has filed a criminal complaint with the Texas
00:32:46.000
Ethics Commission because the chairman of the GOP texted him and asked if they could
00:32:51.080
chat before he sends mailers into Cody's district.
00:32:54.880
So now we have a rhino who is resorting to Democrat tactics because the party leader says we
00:33:01.560
plan to hold you accountable for what you said you would do.
00:33:04.140
So we're not playing around anymore here in the state of Texas.
00:33:07.620
We're going to hold these people to keep the fire.
00:33:10.060
And if you don't want to do what you said you were going to do, we'll replace you.
00:33:13.900
And Texas, you have a choice and every state has a choice.
00:33:25.000
Everything that is happening in California is because of progressive decisions.
00:33:39.480
Is it really global warming that causes California to burn down almost every year?
00:33:48.700
And they don't ever seem to get better at preventing or stopping the fires.
00:33:53.960
Now they're going to let the second largest city in America burn to the ground.
00:34:00.600
If they don't get it under control this weekend, Los Angeles is going to be gone.
00:34:09.300
Texas, I hope we've come as close to death as we ever want to come.
00:34:14.500
And we're awake enough to say this has got to end.
00:34:28.580
It's time to restore American principles and values and stop the games.
00:34:36.680
And I will be texting and tweeting to my representatives in Florida or in Texas.
00:34:45.980
And I hope all Texans will do the same and join me today.
00:34:51.480
If this is the kind of stuff that's going to have to happen in Washington, you are going to have to be as active as you were during the election because tough, tough decisions are going to have to be made.
00:35:05.340
And if you don't make it very clear, you're done as a servant of the people.
00:35:22.300
If you're not serving the people, doing what you said and what the people have voted for, you're out.
