00:06:24.220 um he's a friend of mine
00:06:30.700 we have known each other for the longest time
00:06:38.300 he was one of the
00:06:45.420 most giving men
00:06:48.700 person i have ever met and completely normal completely normal here's a guy who is known
00:06:59.420 all over the world is a mega star everywhere he goes everyone loves him and he was chuck he was just
00:07:13.740 a normal guy who dedicated his himself to making the lives of children better
00:07:25.340 he knew that the discipline
00:07:28.700 of martial arts
00:07:31.500 would change people
00:07:34.540 and he started
00:07:36.700 a program here in texas
00:07:38.540 in some of the you know harder hit areas in texas where
00:07:45.580 kids didn't have dads they were you know falling into drugs and everything else
00:07:50.460 and so he started his his kickstart program and it changed kids
00:08:00.860 my son was really struggling when he was younger
00:08:03.660 and we were over at chuck and gina's house
00:08:10.140 and we stayed overnight
00:08:18.140 and the next morning
00:08:20.380 i see him and my son
00:08:23.580 walking outside
00:08:24.380 he said
00:08:33.180 i'm sending somebody to your house 1.00
00:08:36.860 because i see greatness in you
00:08:40.540 and i know you're struggling
00:08:43.900 i'm sending somebody to your house 1.00
00:08:46.460 i'm sending somebody to your black belt 1.00
00:08:55.580 because once you learn this discipline
00:09:00.460 everything will change in your life
00:09:04.780 and it wasn't because it was my son or me
00:09:09.820 that's the way he was
00:09:11.020 with everyone's son or daughter
00:09:21.260 i can't tell you i have met a bigger star
00:09:27.500 than chuck norris
00:09:29.580 a man who has accomplished more in his life than chuck norris
00:09:33.260 a lot of that had to do with his wife gina
00:09:46.940 and i would ask that you pray for gina
00:09:50.140 she was
00:09:57.580 a titan
00:09:59.500 everybody's like you know
00:10:01.020 chuck norris you can't hurt chuck
00:10:02.620 you know really why you can't hurt chuck norris 0.99
00:10:04.860 gina will punch you in the face if you come after her husband 1.00
00:10:09.500 she's an amazing woman and the two of them together were 0.98
00:10:19.340 dynamo an absolute dynamo and he has left more than jokes on how tough he is behind he has left a legacy
00:10:30.860 of good and strong young men and women so our thoughts are with
00:10:39.980 gina norris and the family
00:10:42.620 on the passing of chuck norris
00:10:45.340 the memes are coming in you guys know the memes about chuck uh
00:10:48.460 he doesn't sleep he waits when he doesn't swim he's when he swims he doesn't get wet
00:10:54.380 um there was one that just replied to the post about him
00:10:57.900 passing and they said chuck norris doesn't die he left to beat up the grim reaper
00:11:04.620 do you know the story behind those jokes no tell me
00:11:09.900 i'm sitting there and i and and we were telling chuck norris jokes with him
00:11:15.020 about his favorites and everything else and uh i said how how how did this happen
00:11:23.580 and he said gina comes in one day and he said there are these jokes that they're seeing and i
00:11:30.540 i don't i think it was even before the internet i don't remember but they see these jokes going
00:11:35.580 around and she's like this has got to stop this has got to stop and he's like i think they're kind of
00:11:44.940 funny but okay and their son gina is talking to their son and she said this gotta stop him he said
00:11:54.220 mom uh uh this makes dad more popular than ever she's like really uh they had no idea but somebody
00:12:06.300 had started it and it just went on and made him really into much bigger of a legend than he ever
00:12:12.940 was this is the best of the glenbeck program i want to start with uh jd prinsman uh he's talking
00:12:21.340 about what is going to happen in 2028 or 2029 uh when they win assuming that they do win listen to
00:12:32.220 this what does a project 2029 agenda look like for you i don't think you can speak of it in in
00:12:41.100 shorthand but i'll just say a couple of things that i think are absolutely necessary uh one is we've got
00:12:46.620 to restore the rule of law and that means holding people accountable who've broken the law and talking
00:12:52.540 about in this administration when we get a new one stop stop
00:13:04.060 jesus sweet baby jesus be with me we have to restore the rule of law
00:13:16.620 sweet baby jesus let me smell the hay in your manger we have to restore the rule of law 0.93
00:13:28.780 we have to punish the people who have broken the law
00:13:38.860 come to me now sweet jesus before i lose my ever-loving mind
00:13:44.460 we have to punish those who have violated the law
00:13:54.860 let me ask you this
00:13:57.740 could we apply that maybe to the little people
00:14:01.420 could we apply that to people who are i don't know stealing from our treasury
00:14:07.020 could we apply that to i don't know people who are stabbing people on the streets
00:14:13.020 could we maybe do that how about this one a damning study of over one million kids
00:14:24.940 finds myocarditis only in the vaccinated
00:14:32.300 can i ask you a question
00:14:33.740 when will anyone pay any price for the millions of people that have died because of covid
00:14:46.140 when will anyone pay any price we're not even talking about stealing from people we are talking about
00:14:54.860 killing people and quite honestly follow the science
00:14:59.820 wow baby jesus just came to me wow thank you jesus thank you wow because i almost said things that would have 0.82
00:15:12.220 had the show canceled and and i would have been in court at fcc and i would have been in fcc hell thank you sweet baby jesus 0.51
00:15:20.300 they knew they knew they knew what they were doing and they did it anyway and no one is going to pay
00:15:31.420 any price but i guess if you're donald trump and you're trying to have ice follow the law
00:15:41.980 and go and get people who have stabbed people to death or raped children and have them deported
00:15:53.980 that for some reason that needs to be prosecuted but not covid not the people stealing not the people
00:16:01.740 raping children none of that not the not the politicians who have been involved in all of this stuff
00:16:09.260 no no no no no no no no no no no no gang
00:16:18.540 marxists do the same thing marxists and islamists do the same thing in the end 0.98
00:16:23.020 when they get full power what do they do what do they do they purge
00:16:28.620 if they get power they mean it because they do it this is what marxists do they purge 1.00
00:16:43.740 we oh he just visited me again oh thank you
00:16:53.260 we must come together oh my gosh look at this miracle that is happening do you know i mean i want
00:17:03.500 to testify to you now that jesus comes to you when you really need him i was about to lose my mind and
00:17:15.740 here i am what two minutes later about to say we need to love one another we need to stop this
00:17:22.140 fighting with one another we need to find our way to another one another we have to stop saying
00:17:27.660 that person is a traitor and you must hate them we have to stop all of that we have to come together
00:17:33.420 the the evil that we are fighting is so profound 0.99
00:17:39.900 that we will lose
00:17:44.380 and when we lose this time and i'm not
00:17:49.260 the sweet baby jesus grew up
00:17:53.340 he preached for a while
00:17:56.780 and because it pissed everybody off they nailed him to a tree he rose again for our sins but he also
00:18:08.620 promised i'm coming back
00:18:14.860 the battle that we are approaching
00:18:18.620 may very well be the final battle before jesus comes back
00:18:26.780 we need to love one another
00:18:32.700 because this one is all hands on deck
00:18:36.300 this is all hands on deck
00:18:39.260 there's there's a great sorting that is going on
00:18:43.180 and if you don't have the spirit as your guide if you are not if you are looking at everything
00:18:50.620 politically you're going to get lost
00:18:53.660 if you're looking at things because you're angry you are going to end up on the wrong side
00:19:00.940 you won't think you are but you will be
00:19:05.740 i i
00:19:08.380 i can't believe i'm here what is happening to me i testify to you now
00:19:14.140 that we are we are going to be asked to stand
00:19:23.340 but not slaughter
00:19:25.340 and the way things are going
00:19:29.980 everybody's getting so hyped up that everyone is a mortal enemy
00:19:37.820 and a traitor and our side would purge
00:19:43.420 just as much as their side would
00:19:45.420 we are not immune that is a human trait
00:19:51.020 and we are not to engage in that
00:19:53.820 i suddenly know all of this is true
00:20:03.660 it's coming and we are to love one another
00:20:06.780 and be the example we stand for what is right
00:20:13.660 if somebody you know last night on that special it was an amazing special
00:20:18.220 i don't remember who said it um but one of our experts was talking about how the rape of
00:20:26.460 children is happening in in
00:20:31.340 sharia law it's happening all over the world 0.61
00:20:34.700 and we have gotten to this place to where we won't judge it and she was raped as a child she 0.97
00:20:43.180 was raped she was brutalized as a child by her father and the school knew it but the school
00:20:51.420 wouldn't do anything about it because that's their culture and that's the problem we have gotten to 0.91
00:20:59.980 this place to where we have just tried we have they have twisted satan doesn't destroy first he perverts
00:21:08.300 he takes what's good and he perverts it and then he uses it and by him using it it destroys it
00:21:18.140 he is the destroyer but he is the great perverter first and he has taken our best traits our love our
00:21:27.900 compassion our our wanting to get along and he has perverted it to the point to where we will sit
00:21:35.260 there and say that young girl is being abused but that's their culture if that's their culture then
00:21:43.100 we must say that culture is evil and we have stopped saying that because our best human traits that come
00:21:55.340 out in the western society the best part of us is tolerance
00:22:00.940 is to get along is to love one another but you must not love that
00:22:12.780 it can't harden your heart you still need to be filled with compassion i have
00:22:19.100 i have learned so much just even in the last week
00:22:23.180 we must still guard that best part of our culture and us but at the same time we have
00:22:35.900 to be razor sharp on evil and call it by its name what was done during covid was evil
00:22:47.740 it was evil we had people in our own government conspiring to make something absolutely deadly
00:22:58.300 they knew exactly what they were doing but they had such little value in human life that their little
00:23:05.180 experiment was more important than millions of of people and we went to the most one of the most
00:23:14.220 evil countries in the world china and we partnered with them because they didn't have a problem doing 0.94
00:23:20.940 it and our laws restricted us from doing it so let's partner with them and do it in some crazy garage
00:23:28.460 laboratory and it went out and then they covered it up and then and then the drug companies
00:23:37.180 were excused and told don't worry about any kind of liability and they conspired with our own
00:23:46.460 politicians all over the world and they killed millions of people that's what happened period that's
00:23:56.780 the truth period and it was evil exclamation point you're listening to the best of glenn beck need a
00:24:05.260 little more check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts ah hello stu ah glenn it feels

00:24:27.180 the bags under my eyes the morgue that i live in now i've worked harder i've worked harder now more
00:24:36.300 now than i've worked maybe in my whole career well i i will say i was watching the specialist i could
00:24:41.580 tell i could tell man what a what a what an in-depth piece of you went really really deep it was amazing
00:24:48.780 just watching it seeing how many times you have these people admitting this right like they're
00:24:56.220 admitting they're on record they you have the quotes you have the documents the documents uh
00:25:01.740 that is uh you know it's it's something that you know you think of these things as theory and
00:25:07.580 you pointed it out and i think you're right where like obviously you're not talking some guy you're
00:25:11.180 buying you know a meal from at a restaurant is not these are not the people putting these plans
00:25:15.340 together but those plans do exist there are people in power and these organizations trying to execute
00:25:21.500 them and having success with it that is terrifying yeah it's terrifying if you missed the special
00:25:25.980 watch it at glenbeck.com slash torch um i wanted to talk to you about because you're doing predictable
00:25:30.860 which is coming out uh in april yeah predictableshow.com by the way please go subscribe you just free
00:25:36.940 it's an email that's all you need to do and all you do is you're looking at all of the
00:25:41.180 betting markets and predicting investment uh investment glenn sorry yeah these are investments
00:25:46.780 investment market um and uh and you know we've always said this i mean right after 9-11 uh it was
00:25:56.540 darpa yeah that started a prediction market a betting market where they were telling people in in you
00:26:05.100 you know the five eyes community if you're in the cia you're in you know you know mi5 or mi6 whichever 0.83
00:26:11.820 the mi's is you go ahead and you invest and bet on where you think the next strike is going to be and
00:26:21.180 they felt that that was the best way to figure things out because when people put their money into
00:26:26.540 it they are not just being blowhards they're invested in that so they really do their homework
00:26:35.020 same thing this is what predict you know predictable is all about look at the people
00:26:40.380 who are putting their money behind what they think is going to happen because it's a pretty safe bet
00:26:47.660 investment yes um i agree because it is true and i think you know goes certainly uh you know you
00:26:56.060 were the one who introduced me to that story all those years ago and got me interested in it initially
00:27:00.300 because it's an interesting thing markets blaming your you're leaving the show on on you it's your
00:27:05.100 fault in so many ways it's your fault uh but you know that is what you do right like when you put
00:27:14.060 your money where your mouth is we can look at polls and polls can give us interesting information you
00:27:19.020 can listen to commentary we tried i think over the years very hard to make sure we weren't doing the
00:27:25.340 type of commentary that was just hey this is the thing you're supposed to say today here are all
00:27:31.100 the talking points that everyone runs through here's what's hot on social media let us say it again for
00:27:37.020 you oftentimes you know it even frustrated the audience like you get to a place where we might
00:27:42.780 have a different opinion than the audience did and and blow this audience off like six times yeah
00:27:48.300 and then rebuilt it and blew it off rebuilt it blew it off but they're awesome because they
00:27:52.380 understand that right they come here with the idea of like i want i want to hear what glenn says right 0.94
00:27:56.620 i might not agree and he might be an idiot on this and that's fine it's very common in my experience 0.75
00:28:02.460 but it was you know you're a guest on this show right i am yeah but this does what i love about 0.95
00:28:08.700 the prediction markets and predictableshow.com one of the reasons i wanted to do it is because it cuts
00:28:12.380 through not only what the mainstream media tells us it not only what the campaigns tell us but also
00:28:19.580 sometimes what our side tells us sometimes you know even our side with the best of intentions so
00:28:25.340 will give us what we want to hear can you tell me anything about the economy looking at the
00:28:31.260 prediction markets because here's a there is a possibility that everything is being priced in
00:28:39.900 for disaster right now all the markets are going this is going to be a long drawn out war that's going
00:28:45.580 to be horrible gas gas going to be through the roof and oil is going to be 160 a barrel if he can shut
00:28:52.540 this off in the next few weeks um it might might actually be a boon it might people might go oh my
00:29:03.020 gosh it's over and rush back out and it could actually be starter fluid for the economy which he needed to
00:29:11.740 have what do you think of that i think it's possible right i do think you've seen this happen
00:29:17.740 multiple times already during the just a couple of weeks we've done this where trump has come out and
00:29:22.540 said yeah it's only going to be a few weeks and the the price of oil goes from 115 to 80 right and i do
00:29:28.620 think when this is over that's the type of thing that we'll see right uh of course you know iran has a
00:29:35.420 voice in this unfortunately and they can make our lives miserable in that region and keep these things
00:29:40.380 high even if we want to stop it uh you know and i think trump's approach which has been i think is
00:29:46.460 probably the correct one which is if they continue to do what they're doing they're targeting
00:29:52.060 oil infrastructure they're targeting you know our allies in the region he's just going to start
00:29:56.860 hitting them harder and harder and harder you see what hags has said yesterday they're sharing the
00:30:00.700 oceans now with sharing we're going to share the oceans with uh the iranians we're just going to
00:30:07.260 share the bottom half for them i didn't hear that line it's such a great step is a quote machine
00:30:13.260 i love him i mean it's a reason i mean remember blaze alum by the way he started here he started
00:30:19.100 here before he got on fox he was on the blaze and uh he he knows how to frame these things uh you know
00:30:24.940 i i think there is a a real uh risk that this could be something that is uh not something that trump can
00:30:33.740 control easily one of the things he's done with the military you think of all the things he's done
00:30:37.420 he said success after success after success and over and over and over again everyone's told him
00:30:43.100 it was going to end in disaster soleimani right moving the embassy in israel in to jerusalem uh
00:30:50.620 venezuela what may be coming with cuba all of these things now that one has obviously isn't done yet
00:30:55.900 but all of these things have provided so yeah right they said it was going to be a disaster we
00:31:01.260 don't have it yet i i know but i mean they said that i mean just just go with just the nato part
00:31:06.860 of that yes yeah right i mean look at what he's doing with nato right now he's telling nato i mean
00:31:12.220 he's doing to nato and to europe what he did to the democrats in the state of the union he is saying to
00:31:20.860 them hey you want to keep oil prices down and they're like no no we can't we can't help you on
00:31:26.620 that they're afraid and they know they're not saying it out loud but they know the reason why
00:31:31.100 they're not is they're afraid of their own population they are afraid of the islamic terror 1.00
00:31:37.820 and they know it and at the same time he's making them look right at that germany can't even raise an
00:31:45.260 army now because too many islamic militants are in their country they can't get them to 1.00
00:31:51.740 i mean there's some positive the germany doesn't have an army i'll just say no i know that but what 0.98
00:31:56.620 i'm saying is they know they're screwed they know they're screwed and he's just pointing that out to 0.67
00:32:02.620 them just hey we don't need your help like your help why is he asking for that help he's not asking 0.93
00:32:08.380 him for any reason other than you know you can't do it yeah i've been telling you you're over wake
00:32:15.100 up the guy's just a strategic genius i i mean and he has taken big bet after big bet after big bet
00:32:22.140 and especially with the military it's just paid off right yeah so that's been i think and that and
00:32:27.740 that that's one thing that does worry me yeah you make your biggest mistakes in those moments yeah if
00:32:32.940 you become convinced that everything i'm going to do is going to work out that way so can i translate
00:32:38.540 the economy stuff to the the elections yes so you know you come into a senate election for example for
00:32:44.220 the first time this is now a 50 50 proposition on election markets thanks for chopping by i'm done
00:32:52.540 no go ahead it's a 50 50 for the first time uh republican senate control in 2026 that is to me
00:33:01.260 that points to a completely catastrophic outcome that is that's the end of the trump i mean talk
00:33:07.740 about you know it's not just uh lame duck that will be non-stop investigations impeachment oh my gosh
00:33:17.820 everything for two years they will set the country on fire for two years the house is obviously a real
00:33:24.140 real problem that was something like 85 democratic control and i think honestly that's pretty well priced
00:33:30.540 when we first started talking about this it was at you know the high 50s and i thought it was
00:33:35.660 unfortunately a buy from democrats at that price now it's at 85 i don't know that there's any value left
00:33:41.740 in that if you're looking at it as an investment but i do think that there is a uh you know the democrats
00:33:46.700 are heavily favored and this is history right we know this you know you go back i think it is nine
00:33:52.860 percent of the time um the party and power has been able to hold on to the house senate is a
00:33:59.820 little bit higher it's about 30 percent a lot of that has to do with structure um you know unlike
00:34:05.580 it's unlike a presidential election where all the states are zero our house where everyone is elected
00:34:10.860 every time you kind of have a scoreboard going in right to the senate so the scoreboard going into
00:34:15.340 the senate is 34 democrats 31 republicans not up for election at all so democrats have a slight lead
00:34:22.780 when you kick off the scoreboard if you will then you have sort of a bunch of kind of yawn
00:34:29.020 should be easy seats you know let's just take that for what it is right now if you look at those uh
00:34:36.620 those seats that are solid for either party you've got nine democrats i can run through them if you want
00:34:43.100 16 republicans most of those you look at and you'd say pretty pretty safe right like alabama you don't
00:34:50.140 see necessarily we've seen upsets in states like this you never know when your favorite candidate is
00:34:55.500 going to show up in a dead person's email about an island so like that can happen uh but generally
00:35:01.820 speaking you'd say like a state like alabama is going to be pretty safe that gets us to 47 republicans
00:35:07.900 and 43 democrats then you have leaners right leaner races for republicans you got ohio you have iowa
00:35:18.140 and you have texas now again texas should be easy right i don't put anything but texas is texas is
00:35:28.860 in trouble and this is why i went into deep and utter mourning a couple of the weeks i just didn't
00:35:35.020 even go online or anything after jasmine crockett was defeated she was my girl one of our torch
00:35:39.580 insiders actually asked this morning i need to know how devastated stew it was to learn that she may
00:35:46.140 be trailing he's wearing a black armband today yeah there was a there was a lot of wellness checks 0.94
00:35:51.900 i will say by my my that was such a loss i wanted her so bad now talarico also sucks i believe the 0.80
00:35:58.860 people of texas are not gonna fall for that he just seems like another beto and if you remember
00:36:04.540 you go back you look early on there was a lot of risk that hey is ted cruz gonna be beaten by beto
00:36:09.900 and it got close it got within a couple of points these polls actually look slightly worse than that
00:36:16.380 election for the republicans but we're still at a divisive point among the it didn't end up at a
00:36:21.980 couple points though did it it was yeah it was it was i thought it was like eight it was in that range
00:36:27.420 i can't remember the exact either the polls or the actual election i thought the election was around
00:36:31.740 four the final polls were six to eight um but if you look back at this time with ted cruz and beto
00:36:38.620 it was uh more like our six or eight point race what we're seeing in the polls right now is actually
00:36:43.580 a slight lead for talarico stew yes how is this possible we have so many opposition clips on this
00:36:49.900 man the most prominent being is that he doesn't really like me you cannot be a candidate in texas
00:36:56.620 who hates me you can't be a co-host yes on national radio for 28 years i barely get by
00:37:02.460 yeah seriously the man doesn't like me uh that's true he's got a lot of very weird i would i would
00:37:08.140 argue that's not even his weirdest position i can understand why people would say that it is
00:37:12.780 uh but i think one thing that people are forgetting about texas right now is that we are still at a
00:37:19.020 point where there are two camps on the republican side that hate each other the the paxton camp the
00:37:27.740 people who love paxton and really want him to win can't stand cornyn the people who really want
00:37:33.660 cornyn to win and don't like paxton just there's a hatred there between those two parties they
00:37:38.140 haven't united there's still a lot of people in this voting uh group of republicans who are saying
00:37:43.820 to themselves well if it's cornyn forget it and there's a bunch of people saying if it's paxton
00:37:48.780 forget it i despise john i am not a fan despise him not a fan but if it's glass nails and fire that i have
00:37:57.260 to walk through and he's the guy unfortunately in this election i'm going to be that guy that walks 0.87
00:38:06.060 through the glass and the nails and the fire to vote for freaking john cornyn i mean think that's 0.83
00:38:11.420 the way it would be i'm sorry you cannot lose texas when i think he's horrible he ate him i know when 0.84
00:38:16.860 i i've argued on the show a hundred times to say hey the target for republicans is to take out in
00:38:22.620 primaries people like john cornyn in bright red states because that's where we can really make
00:38:27.820 different the difference you know trying to go after someone like you know susan collins in maine
00:38:31.980 is not nearly as profitable for their conservative movement so i do think though once this primary is
00:38:37.580 over you're going to see some of that fade as we get closer to this election uh and i do think that
00:38:42.700 you're going to wind up with a republican as a favorite there so give me a final look at the senate
00:38:47.260 where do you think it ends so right there with just the seats we've discussed if you're pulling off
00:38:51.580 ohio iowa texas you should be able to do that if you're anywhere near competent as republicans if
00:38:56.540 you can win those three states you're at 50 this is why i think 50 50 idea on the prediction markets
00:39:03.020 right now for republicans is pretty pessimistic they should be able to win those states and
00:39:08.780 that's all they have to do basically to get to 50 and you think about when i think of the senate i
00:39:13.740 think of control of the senate being important for like things like supreme court justices we've got
00:39:18.220 really old people in there that are awesome but might be going away so you have that and then you 0.90
00:39:23.020 have five uh toss-ups i have it as georgia maine michigan north carolina and alaska which is one on
00:39:30.060 people aren't talking about yet watch alaska as a as a toss-up state the democrats got the candidate
00:39:35.660 they wanted in that race you know the republicans not all that popular in the state very risky one in
00:39:41.500 alaska which means we could have a very late night if that senate comes down to that alaska seat 0.96
00:39:46.460 imagine how long we'll be waiting for that one uh but i do think it's a little bit pessimistic to
00:39:52.780 say it's a 50 50 chance you're in catastrophe levels if oil is 160 a barrel this is the type
00:39:58.860 of stuff you're looking at and democrats will win i agree with you though right now there's a lot of
00:40:04.220 that ultra pessimism priced into this stuff so i i can be a little bit more optimistic than that
00:40:10.220 what do you think the damage is to that's being done by and i don't want to get into the
00:40:16.300 personalities but all of the damage that's being done on the splitting of the base and i don't think
00:40:22.780 it's as bad as people think but there is a a problem of the base being split hard
00:40:30.780 um is that is that damage i mentioned to start a new show on blaze tv stew and dave do america
00:40:38.300 and predictableshow.com thanks so much for having me okay um i don't want to drag i don't want 0.99
00:40:43.020 personality talk you know how i am well i you know and this is something i think you've tried to
00:40:46.860 achieve and i have as well it's like i don't do a show about other people's shows that's not what i
00:40:51.740 if you want to hire me to do a show to review someone else's podcast i suppose you can make an
00:40:55.980 offer right not that interested in it right that's not why yeah i got into this i think it's a real
00:41:00.860 problem how this has become about the personalities right so i what i'm asking you is is that real or
00:41:07.900 healable by the time we get is it's going to continue to grow i tend to think that when as we
00:41:14.140 get closer to this election a lot of that stuff's going to wind up healing we we saw it in 2016 with
00:41:19.100 donald trump i mean there was massive divides between trump and cruise and all these other candidates
00:41:23.420 and by the end of that people were pretty united oh so i i tend to think a lot of it will heal it
00:41:29.180 will get better than where it is right now is that going to be enough is the question i don't think it
00:41:32.860 is in the house i think it probably is in the senate where's your playlist taking you down the highway
