The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Emma Morris & AG Ken Paxton ｜ 5⧸1⧸26

00:00:00.000 Oh, it's Friday, and I'm going to introduce you to the sissiest Marine you've ever met, 0.93

00:00:08.420 Botox Buttrill, and his new American girl doll. He actually got Botox in New York. 0.84

00:00:19.200 Wait until you hear this story. Also, the woman who is responsible for the Hunter Biden laptop,

00:00:26.580 She was the one they first approached and said, we have his laptop.

00:00:30.040 That whole story is fascinating. 0.75

00:00:32.140 She was in studio today, Emma Morris and Ken Paxton, who is our attorney general, pushing back against the Meadows, otherwise known as Epic City, that big Muslim community in Texas.

00:00:45.760 Where that goes next is anybody's business, but we talked to him about that. 0.97

00:00:49.700 And don't forget, tomorrow night on Torch, you can see it and it'll be free.

00:00:55.340 You can't participate in it with the insiders, but you'll be able to watch it at glenbeck.com slash events or glenbeck.com slash torch.

00:01:04.280 And we are at Ellis Island celebrating America's 250th birthday with fireworks at the statue, music, and some really great, amazing history.

00:01:17.300 You don't want to miss this live event tomorrow night.

00:01:20.660 It begins at 7 p.m. Saturday.

00:01:23.180 Don't miss it, Saturday, 7 p.m. Eastern Time, only at glenbeck.com slash events, glenbeck.com slash torch.

00:01:33.560 It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history, or at least to the extent that you can be,

00:01:38.760 and that means many times that you're taking a stand against the things that you feel are wrong.

00:01:43.360 And, of course, there are a lot of different ways to do that.

00:01:45.420 Some of them come at great personal cost, but not every stand has to cost.

00:01:50.060 In fact, the case of switching to Patriot Mobile is going to do exactly the opposite.

00:01:55.700 The Patriot Mobile service, the choice is really clear.

00:01:58.900 You get the same reliable service at a lower cost, and none of your money will go to leftist causes.

00:02:04.220 They operate on all three major networks.

00:02:06.580 You can keep the plan that you have, but it's more affordable, and you can make it easy to bring your phone or get a new one, keep your number or get a new one.

00:02:15.980 And so you end up with reliable coverage and a company you can actually feel good about supporting every single month and saving money.

00:02:21.920 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:02:24.140 I want you to call 972-PATRIOT.

00:03:26.720 Now let's get to work.

00:03:42.100 Also running for the U.S. Senate now.

00:03:45.300 Ken, how are you?

00:03:46.720 Doing great.

00:03:47.800 Primary is just about over.

00:03:49.200 Run up is just about over.

00:03:50.380 May.

00:03:52.760 Whoop. 1.00

00:03:53.340 You're breaking up.

00:03:56.700 Oh, jeez.

00:03:57.540 Can you find a better place?

00:03:58.940 Can you find a better place?

00:04:01.800 Stop moving.

00:04:04.800 Can somebody take him off the air, Sarah, and see if you can find a better place for him to be so we don't lose him in the middle of the year?

00:04:12.100 this. He is, um, he's running for Cornyn's job. And remember he said, if Cornyn would push through

00:04:20.280 the save act, I'll drop out, I'll drop out. Uh, and Cornyn was like, I'm going to do that. You

00:04:26.520 bet I'll do that. He didn't do that. He didn't do that. We're still looking at the save act.

00:04:31.560 Nobody's doing anything about it. And like I said, with Cornyn and, you know, his whole,

00:04:36.200 uh you know i'm gonna look i'm gonna look into this epic city thing until people stop paying

00:04:42.720 attention to it and then we're gonna drop it that's exactly what cornyn does um he's there

00:04:49.140 now ken are you there we have a better connection yes yeah better yes better okay good okay good

00:04:57.240 yeah so so so tell me what is tell me tell me first on what's happening with this epic city

00:05:03.360 thing the meadows yeah so this uh this group whatever they call themselves they actually

00:05:09.420 call themselves community capital initially known as epic city a muslim development actually in my

00:05:15.360 county next door close to where you used to live uh in collin county and they sued uh texas workforce

00:05:22.180 commission saying that they were that the workforce commission had agreed to certain terms

00:05:27.580 and that they no longer were epic was no longer committing any violations of fair housing laws

00:05:32.980 unfortunately for epic uh more complaints were filed and the workforce commission found more

00:05:39.940 violations and then hud started investigating and they're they're now reviewing this whole

00:05:44.920 uh epic city situation and then of course we you know how it is in austin texas we have a liberal

00:05:50.360 judge amy uh clark meacham comes in and says no no no you uh you have to go forward with this

00:05:57.300 agreement despite these violations you have to allow them epic to proceed with

00:06:02.580 their with their development so we appealed which you were discussing the

00:06:06.840 little intricacies of the legal world our appeal stops for injunction until

00:06:11.980 that appeal is resolved so good thing is it's a 15th circuit court what are the

00:06:17.860 violations that you see so the violations are actually determined by the

00:06:25.660 Workforce Commission, and the initial violations supposedly were worked out, but the problem is

00:06:31.280 there have been new complaints, and I don't know what the new complaints are. I just know that

00:06:34.900 people have filed complaints with the Texas Workforce Commission. They're now investigating

00:06:39.040 those complaints, and HUD's also investigating, so neither the Texas Workforce Commission

00:06:44.540 does not want to go forward with this agreement when there are other violations outstanding that

00:06:49.040 have not been resolved by Epic. So, Ken, for people who don't know, I mean, there's a lot

00:06:58.380 of people in Texas who just, they don't understand that the entire culture of Texas is being lost

00:07:05.660 and that Texas is a major target of an Islamist movement. I mean, this is how you have no-go 0.85

00:07:13.740 zones in cities all over the world. Explain this to somebody who's really not paying attention to

00:07:19.480 what your problem is or what people are fearing this is actually. Yeah, I think it's interesting

00:07:28.120 because it seems like it's been over, you know, it started out kind of slowly now. There are more

00:07:33.840 and more of these developments that are exclusively Muslim and supposedly Sharia law governs. Well, 1.00

00:07:42.120 you know, obviously people have the right to worship how they want to, but they do not have

00:07:45.640 the right to have their own laws. And one of the reasons we sued Epic separately from this

00:07:50.220 workforce commission issue is we felt like they were violating our state and federal securities

00:07:54.880 laws. And we think there are other issues involved with how they structure the transaction that are

00:07:59.660 legal. And we certainly think that they violated fair housing laws, which are not really ours to

00:08:04.900 enforce, the federal ones anyway. But, you know, if you're going to live in our country, you have

00:08:10.220 to follow our state and federal laws, and you have to follow our Constitution, you can't

00:08:14.700 develop your own little community and then decide that you're going to determine your

00:08:18.660 own laws that are separate and apart from the laws of the nation.

00:08:24.360 And that's what's happening. 1.00

00:08:25.620 Why are they so intent on building a Muslim community, this size especially, in Texas? 0.99

00:08:34.300 How many developments are there, and why is Texas such a big target? 0.98

00:08:39.500 Well, look, I mean, I don't know, but I mean, you can only surmise that this is a pretty important state that if it doesn't stay strong, if it doesn't stay really conservative, if it doesn't stay as a Republican state, the country overall is going to be harmed by that.

00:08:54.720 And potentially, you know, we may not ever elect another Republican Congress or another Republican president again.

00:09:00.580 And of course, that affects the Supreme Court.

00:09:02.260 So all branches of government that are controlled by one party, which I think is the ultimate goal here.

00:09:05.880 The ultimate goal, whether through these developments or just generally the progressive movement in this country, is to have a one-party system where the elections are rigged, but no one says they're rigged.

00:09:17.120 They just are rigged through mail-in ballots and illegal voting and no photo ID, all the things that we're trying to do with the Save America Act.

00:09:24.500 And it looks like we're having fair elections.

00:09:26.260 And ultimately, what the Democrats want and the progressives want is they want a one party country where most of the elections are rigged, but they never say they're rigged and they control the government through, you know, a few people.

00:09:38.080 That's what they want.

00:09:41.540 And it is the Red Green Alliance. 0.98

00:09:43.840 You know, if you look at I was just on with Piers Morgan, I'm going over to Tommy Robinson's rally here in a couple of weeks over in in England. 0.90

00:09:54.380 And, you know, this is what's happening to England and all over Europe, and it's becoming a real problem.

00:10:04.600 And I was talking to Piers Morgan, and he just said, well, there's not a real problem here.

00:10:08.280 It's, you know, why does everybody keep singling out the Muslims?

00:10:11.800 I don't think anybody's singling out Muslims. 0.53

00:10:13.800 You're singling out Islamists.

00:10:15.380 Islamists, 48% in a recent poll in Europe, 48% of those immigrants say they want Sharia law in Europe, that that's their goal is to have Sharia law. 0.77

00:10:28.180 You're running, and I'm going to be encouraging every single person to ask their politician of this, and if they answer the wrong way, don't vote for them. 1.00

00:10:38.220 Don't vote for them.

00:10:39.360 Ken doesn't know what I'm about to ask him, but I think it's going to be pretty easy. 1.00

00:10:41.940 Will you support a nationwide ban on Sharia law? 1.00

00:10:47.920 Absolutely. It's inconsistent with our constitution. 0.99

00:10:52.500 It's inconsistent with most of our federal and state laws.

00:10:56.020 And there's no way we can have a dual operating legal system in our country and sustain that.

00:11:02.920 We will crumble and we will have serious issues like Europe is having. 0.93

00:11:07.660 I mean, the foreshadowing is already happening in Europe, right?

00:11:09.920 We already know how this plays out.

00:11:11.940 So if we're not diligent in Texas and we're not diligent in our country, we will lose our country.

00:11:17.600 We will not have our constitutional freedoms that our founders put in place.

00:11:25.600 I was at the 9-11 memorial, the museum here in Manhattan this week.

00:11:30.580 I think it was on Monday I went in.

00:11:34.260 And walking through it, the thoughts of everything that this country is going through right now

00:11:39.200 And what we're debating or not debating, because, you know, you're forced into silence, is remarkable that that was 25 years ago.

00:11:47.940 And here we are.

00:11:49.500 Yep. And the fact that we haven't maybe learned our lessons from that incident, you know, it's a problem.

00:11:57.680 Look, I've spoken to Muslim leaders in Texas, and I've said to them, you cannot expect us, the rest of this state, to allow you to push Sharia law or even to be in a position where you won't speak out against terrorism when it happens from your religion.

00:12:20.820 You need to speak out against it and let us know that you're with us and that you don't support terrorist actions in our country. 0.69

00:12:28.980 And you guys don't speak out when it happens enough.

00:12:33.520 Ken, tell me about the race. 0.58

00:12:35.780 The race is going well.

00:12:37.320 You know, we've got early voting starts May 18th through the 22nd.

00:12:40.020 We've got five days of early voting and the day after Memorial Weekend.

00:12:42.480 So it's going to be a low turnout vote.

00:12:43.880 however my opponent spent a hundred million dollars in the first round uh to lie to them

00:12:48.860 to the texas people to convince him that he's pro-trump and he's pro-border wall that he's not

00:12:52.760 you know an amnesty guy which is all false he's an open borders you know anti-trump guy and he's

00:12:57.980 running spent you know a hundred million dollars to tell people that he's he's good and i'm bad

00:13:02.220 and that i'm i've adopted his positions which is a crazy you know some i'm for lgbt funding i'm

00:13:09.640 for the transgender movement um you know i let child predators off you know easy i mean just

00:13:16.040 crazy no i'm not kidding look at his commercials he has spent a hundred million dollars trying to 0.94

00:13:22.520 convince people that those things about me and it's ludicrous and the things that he is saying

00:13:27.560 about him are ludicrous but look this is a guy that has no record you cannot find anything that

00:13:32.600 he's accomplished good in 40 years you look glenn nothing good in 40 years but he has money from dc 0.91

00:13:39.480 that he's taken from Republicans

00:13:41.020 to convince Republicans here

00:13:44.100 that all of these things about him are not true.

00:13:48.220 And that he's been doing a great job. 0.95

00:13:50.300 He's awful.

00:13:53.200 How's the polling look? 0.95

00:13:55.560 So the polling is good,

00:13:56.680 but I don't want to rely on that.

00:13:57.680 My polling is really good,

00:13:59.200 like double digits,

00:14:00.220 but I don't trust polling

00:14:01.780 because all that matters is whether people vote.

00:14:05.160 Turnout.

00:14:06.200 Yeah, if I tell people on my head

00:14:07.900 I don't want them to be overconfident,

00:14:09.060 not vote. I need people to vote. I need them to take their

00:14:11.060 friends. I need them to take their family because 0.98

00:14:12.860 no poll means anything until they actually 0.75

00:14:15.000 deliver and show up and vote. And that's what I need. I need

00:14:17.060 votes. Yeah.

00:14:19.180 Ken, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

00:14:21.120 Thanks for being on. Thanks,

00:14:23.060 Glenn. Have a great day. You

00:14:25.000 bet. Ken Paxton,

00:14:26.940 the Texas State Attorney General and candidate

00:14:29.120 for the U.S.

00:14:30.880 Senate. This

00:14:32.760 is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:35.600 Emma Morris. Hey, Emma.

00:14:37.100 how are you hello good morning thank you so much for having me it's an honor so you were uh at the

00:14:42.940 new york post and uh you get a call yeah right yeah and it had to be surreal tell me about the

00:14:52.300 call that came in um yeah so thank you first of all thank you so much for having me and yeah so

00:14:57.480 it's uh i'm i think like the context matters too like i was 20 i was 27 i had been working there

00:15:03.300 for like six months or so crazy yeah um i was certainly underqualified um i think i probably

00:15:09.280 got hired because i was a conservative with a pulse in new york city and they were like i guess

00:15:14.660 she knows what she's doing let's toss her the keys and then all of a sudden yeah i get a call

00:15:18.720 from steve bannon um in september of 2020 saying um i have a story that's going to change your life

00:15:25.700 and i didn't know him so this is like really random and i say okay like what and he says

00:15:32.720 i have hunter biden's computer and um i was obviously shocked by that i didn't like fully

00:15:38.060 believe it i didn't know what to think and they start to explain you know um i i didn't know ben

00:15:42.900 and i was connected with him through a friend of mine who was working for him and and uh he starts

00:15:49.000 like saying like you know he's addicted to crack and like forgot it somewhere and now we have it

00:15:53.940 and you know you're listening to this i mean it's every reaction that even i had when it first came

00:15:59.280 out I'm like okay this could be this sounds insane sounds absolutely insane exactly right yes exactly

00:16:06.420 it sounds like a lie you know and I'm like thinking to myself like can you just not get me fired like

00:16:11.780 whatever like whatever like you entering my life is can it not end with me being fired um you know

00:16:17.400 it's like so it's quite unbelievable and I'm kind of they start sending me documents you know to

00:16:23.340 like i guess bait me into it like get me interested and i'm like what is this like the

00:16:29.360 documents were making me feel better it was like how to make you feel better about the truth of it

00:16:34.400 they were not making me feel better about the truth of it i'm like how like what is this like

00:16:38.000 photoshop like job that you did where you made these up like i didn't believe it the story just 0.95

00:16:43.800 to me felt too crazy and um my boss was saying to me you smell a rat you smell a rat you know 0.98

00:16:51.100 listen to your gut at what point do you say it is crazy but crack addicts are crazy right yeah so 0.95

00:17:00.900 that's it so the so the the way that i got in touch where that steve bannon got in touch with

00:17:05.000 me was i had a friend who was working for him as a producer on war room on his podcast and

00:17:09.900 um this guy so he came from kind of a rough background and i mean maybe you can gather i did

00:17:16.900 not I went to a few private schools growing up and like I had like a very charming little thing

00:17:24.720 going on yeah you know so I'm like I'm like this is an insane I don't believe it who would act this

00:17:29.680 way and my friend calls me up and he goes Emma you just come from too nice of a neighborhood

00:17:33.540 for this you never met any crackheads like I've met crackheads and like they forget things like

00:17:38.740 it's not unbelievable you know so I'm like okay like that actually makes sense it's so you know

00:17:43.740 simple that it has to make sense i tend to to like simple true like simple stories they feel true

00:17:49.140 yeah and uh and um he's like just go see it just go see it it's at rudy's lawyer's house in long

00:17:54.900 island so and he was like if you're not interested after that then like whatever it's fine so this is

00:18:00.320 at the time because i remember when it first came out i i love rudy giuliani yeah but this was coming

00:18:05.380 out at the time remember he did that awful press conference where he was sweating yeah it was just

00:18:10.980 so bad yeah and he had damaged his credibility so much yes that you were like i like rudy but i don't

00:18:18.200 i don't know what i can trust were you there yeah well so the press conference that you're referring

00:18:22.460 to was um after the election so this was right a few months before but obviously same kind of vibe

00:18:28.120 you know and and listen like i i mean i see rudy and still see and still do maybe more so as a

00:18:33.780 patriot i do too um and and somebody who wants the best for this country and will fight for this

00:18:38.940 country and will give up everything for this country actually yes which he has and he's proven

00:18:43.100 um uh but he's also trump's lawyer you know he is um an operative for the campaign um as far as

00:18:51.740 i'm concerned basically so is bannon i think he would probably say that himself um i don't think

00:18:57.000 that that's controversial and i am a conservative obviously i'm a very openly conservative my last

00:19:02.560 job before the post was hannity my job after the post was breitbart you know but at the same time

00:19:07.800 my capacity as an editor is to relay the truth as closely as I can, not to campaign for Trump.

00:19:13.820 So as much as I like Trump and I wanted the story to be true, I was obviously skeptical of the

00:19:20.620 source because I could agree with them. It doesn't mean that I could just put out whatever. Right.

00:19:26.140 So that was my concern. And I, you know, I would have, if that laptop would have come to me,

00:19:31.280 the first thing I would have said to my staff is run this down every possible way, because

00:19:37.140 this falling this much of a gift falling into our laps and then just be handed to us

00:19:44.700 sounds like a way for the other side to shut us down and destroy all of our credibility oh 100

00:19:51.600 i mean right now i'm sitting in front of you like uh six years later and i'm eight months pregnant

00:19:58.660 um at the time i i didn't look like this i didn't sound like this you know i was 27 i wasn't married

00:20:05.100 I just like was in New York like in journalism like moving fast and breaking things yeah

00:20:11.940 and I obviously had it crossed my mind like and I'm sure it's this is partly true again

00:20:17.680 I'm sure if you called up Bannon and asked him what did you think of the profile of the person that you were offering this to

00:20:22.520 He would say this is someone who's gonna run it

00:20:24.480 You know, it's like just right

00:20:26.480 I was interested in taking risks in a way that you know

00:20:29.800 another editor wouldn't have been or maybe i myself wouldn't have been today right um and you

00:20:35.540 know like i told you last night you were like how did you know that it was all real and i was like

00:20:42.240 i don't think i can have a way to do to know that you know what i knew was what i was reporting was

00:20:47.580 real um and that was enough and that was enough for our editors and that was enough you know i

00:20:52.220 think for our ethics what you were reporting were things on the laptop are real you weren't saying

00:20:58.180 the laptop is 100 well this is like how could i confirm something that has been through a chain

00:21:03.240 of custody what i can confirm is what i'm reporting what the way that i did that was you

00:21:08.100 know and we're fast forwarding through the story but you know it's good to get to the end um you

00:21:13.000 know i i had to go through this thing it's like thousands of documents and i had to find first

00:21:19.360 of all what the angle is what's the story i remember i called my boss my editor-in-chief

00:21:23.240 michelle got health um no longer at the post but legendary person and uh i was like i don't know

00:21:29.680 how to make sense of all of this it's like too much like it's it's too high volume my brain is

00:21:34.860 like glitching like i don't know what to think and she's like well listen like we know that hunter

00:21:38.500 biden is a consultant we know he's sketchy she was like that's been reported she was like joe

00:21:43.160 biden's the one running for president like find me where joe biden comes into this if he if he does

00:21:47.440 and that was when it clicked it's like oh yeah duh like this is about joe biden this isn't even

00:21:52.780 about Hunter? Why do I even care about Hunter? And then I just started kind of going through it.

00:21:57.240 And we found, you know, couldn't have been more than 10 documents that were relevant to that.

00:22:02.780 And then you go from having to verify a hard drive that has been through a chain of custody that you

00:22:09.720 believe or don't believe. It doesn't matter. It's are these documents real? And the way that we were

00:22:15.900 able to do that was very simple. And I talked about this when I testified in Congress about

00:22:19.820 this story which i guess the real scandal isn't even the story itself right but never is yeah

00:22:25.560 like um there was like people cc'd on all this stuff so and other people involved in all this

00:22:31.220 stuff so you know we had the contact lists in in his phone book which was also on the laptop it was

00:22:36.760 all part of that iCloud or the hard drive and um we just called them and said hey it's New York

00:22:42.220 Post I'm gonna read you something can you tell me if it sounds familiar and that's it I mean and

00:22:48.300 And then you had, like you saw, you know, 24 hours after we published, Tony Bobulinski pops up.

00:22:52.820 It's one of those people who's involved.

00:22:54.800 Like, there are other people involved.

00:22:55.940 It wasn't Hunter, you know, scurrying around the world himself.

00:22:59.680 There was business partners, and some of those partners had either been burned, some of them had gone to jail, some of them had realized that this is too much.

00:23:07.680 Everyone was receptive.

00:23:09.960 I'm so glad you didn't select the porn part to go over.

00:23:13.600 Because when it first came out, that was an angle from some people.

00:23:17.640 and the porn was shocking and horrible of course but as it would be yeah but the real problem were

00:23:23.260 these sweetheart deals in these backroom deals exactly like we're the new york post you know 0.99

00:23:27.880 we're not like you know we're not pearl clutchers you know it's like you're gonna show me sex stuff

00:23:33.800 it's like okay like like whatever like i want to see it but like i'm not like you know scared it's

00:23:39.140 like it's not a scandal to me uh the scandal to me is joe biden and the business so what did you

00:23:45.540 expect to happen i expected like conservative media to like pick it up i was like so i was

00:23:54.680 like yeah like i went through my social media i was like there's something weird there's

00:23:58.080 something wrong here there's something weird here you know this won't be a big deal it'll

00:24:03.200 end up getting picked up you know by fox news or something breitbart and um that wasn't what

00:24:09.880 happened at all as it turned out the cia was upset yeah i bet a little upset a little upset

00:24:18.260 so um it nobody did pick it up at least for a long time uh and then by that time

00:24:26.780 what did it mean well i don't i mean i think that there was a bit of a streisand effect actually

00:24:32.240 about it like i think that if it would have been how i predicted where just conservative media kind

00:24:36.800 talks about it you know you pick it up and talk about it um it would have been like a conservative

00:24:42.560 media echo chamber conspiracy theory Benghazi whatever you know thing that the left just

00:24:48.020 dismisses uh but because twitter so what happened to refresh the audience's memory i'm sure they

00:24:54.520 you know are familiar with this but what happened was we published at 5 a.m by like 7 a.m latest

00:25:01.820 it was completely blacklisted on twitter to the extent that we found out later it was two hours

00:25:08.860 yeah two hours within two hours it was it was classified as child porn internally so if you

00:25:17.120 like sent it in a private like if i've dm'd you privately the link it would disable as it would

00:25:23.080 if you were you know sending something criminal um so we found out again later that the reason why

00:25:30.700 was so immediate and so severe was because the fbi was briefing twitter executives on a story that

00:25:39.620 might publish around the election about hunter and what to do in that circumstance because it's

00:25:45.680 disinformation we promise and that is because they had it yeah they had it the fbi had the laptop

00:25:51.760 how long did they have it months they had it from before the first impeachment which was in january

00:25:59.780 before covid you know i was publishing september after covid you're streaming the best of glenn

00:26:05.640 beck to hear more of this interview and others download the full show podcasts wherever you get

00:26:10.340 podcasts because it is friday i guess i can start with the biggest news there is a new american girl

00:26:52.880 When in New York?

00:26:54.320 I was tricked.

00:26:55.840 How were you tricked?

00:26:57.040 How were you tricked?

00:27:00.340 Let me set this stage.

00:27:02.440 I thought they were putting heroin in my face.

00:27:05.620 How were you tricked?

00:27:06.720 If you're watching on the Torch Insider show or stream at glenbeck.com slash Torch,

00:27:12.080 it doesn't look like it's yet taken effect.

00:27:15.100 No, it's supposed to take a week or two.

00:27:17.000 Okay, all right.

00:27:17.660 Okay, Maureen.

00:27:23.520 I totally have an excuse. 0.99

00:27:24.620 Well, so my wife has been exploring New York City. 0.94

00:27:27.040 She's like a master at this point.

00:27:29.460 She looks like you, actually, walking through the streets.

00:27:32.440 What does that mean?

00:27:32.820 Wait, don't insult her. 1.00

00:27:34.160 You know there's rules when you walk the streets of New York City.

00:27:37.080 Like, you can tell when someone doesn't belong there,

00:27:38.760 like when they don't walk all the way out into the lane, you know,

00:27:41.500 and then just blow past the do not walk.

00:27:44.360 You can tell who the tourists are.

00:27:45.820 Yesterday I got into a fight with a biker.

00:27:48.540 I'm shocked.

00:27:49.380 I'm totally shocked by that.

00:27:50.140 It was like this biker just whizzes by.

00:27:52.380 Now, yes, he had the right of way. 0.99

00:27:54.240 Yes, I was walking when I shouldn't have.

00:27:56.740 But he was like, what the hell are you doing walking?

00:27:58.720 And I'm like, I'm just going to the other side.

00:28:02.060 I can't take it.

00:28:03.860 I can't take it.

00:28:04.620 The bicyclists are now, they're like the worst than the cabbies were back in the 70s and 80s.

00:28:09.360 Oh, they're kamikaze pilots.

00:28:10.320 It's crazy.

00:28:11.520 Anyway, go ahead.

00:28:12.160 So anyway, she was supposed to go do a procedure for herself on Wednesday.

00:28:17.360 But she gave me this story like, oh, honey, I got lost.

00:28:21.120 I ended up on First Avenue.

00:28:22.400 And it was like 20 blocks away.

00:28:24.100 I really need your help to find my way.

00:28:26.420 This was yesterday.

00:28:27.580 Wait, wait, wait.

00:28:28.660 Okay.

00:28:29.560 Your second man card is being revoked.

00:28:32.320 You let your wife, who has not spent any time here,

00:28:35.660 you were going to say to her, just go find yourself.

00:28:38.600 On first half, just go find it your way.

00:28:41.000 It's only about 20 blocks away.

00:28:42.820 You just go ahead and walk down the street yourself.

00:28:45.120 Okay, okay.

00:28:45.760 For all the Torch insiders.

00:28:51.760 Hoorah, everybody.

00:28:52.960 All the Torch insiders, the guys, are you married to a Latina? 0.75

00:28:56.360 Tell Glenn, instruct him, if you tell a Latina what to do or not to do, 0.98

00:29:01.080 it's like so he's hung down. 0.98

00:29:02.720 She is her own woman.

00:29:03.800 No, no, I know she is. 1.00

00:29:05.000 I know she is, but it wrecks the story.

00:29:06.360 And she has a purse for your belongings.

00:29:08.540 I have cut mark scars on my arms when I say don't.

00:29:12.320 Anyway, so she's like, I need your help.

00:29:13.740 I'm not saying say don't.

00:29:15.040 I'm saying, honey, I will go with you.

00:29:17.160 I would never let.

00:29:18.960 If Tanya was like, I don't.

00:29:20.580 Tanya is a big girl. 0.99

00:29:21.760 She knows how to.

00:29:22.360 She lived here. 0.81

00:29:23.000 She knows how to navigate.

00:29:24.240 But if she was like, honey, I can't find it.

00:29:26.100 and I've got to go walk, and I say it's 20 blocks,

00:29:29.560 I would say, I'll just go with you.

00:29:31.840 I'll just go with you.

00:29:33.040 But go ahead.

00:29:34.060 Go ahead.

00:29:34.520 Tell me how you stormed those beaches yesterday.

00:29:36.800 Tell me about it.

00:29:38.540 So I'm like, fine.

00:29:39.960 From the shores of Tripoli.

00:29:41.400 Go ahead.

00:29:41.980 Gosh.

00:29:42.840 So I walk.

00:29:44.160 I do my man duty, and I'm walking her to this appointment.

00:29:47.860 Good for you.

00:29:48.640 We show up.

00:29:49.580 Yeah.

00:29:50.020 And this is like a back alley door.

00:29:52.760 Yeah.

00:29:52.960 I feel like it was like three feet wide.

00:29:55.300 I'm having to go sideways into it. 0.98

00:29:57.280 We go up this very ghetto stairwell going upstairs to the fifth floor. 0.98

00:30:02.780 This is what I say to my wife. 1.00

00:30:04.520 We're not going in here.

00:30:05.960 Yeah, I'm thinking there's going to be a saw angle or something weird going on.

00:30:10.840 So we get in, and there's this – it wasn't bad.

00:30:13.460 It wasn't a bad place.

00:30:15.400 But my wife checks in, and she goes, yeah, so we have two, Jason and Estella Buttrell,

00:30:20.580 you know, for 3 o'clock.

00:30:22.020 And I was like –

00:30:23.380 Jason?

00:30:23.940 Excuse me?

00:30:24.620 Honey, no

00:30:27.440 I've told you time and again, I'm not doing this

00:30:29.580 She's been saying my expression lines

00:30:31.640 Are getting out of control

00:30:32.660 Which they kind of are, but I feel like that's just character

00:30:35.260 That's my point of view for it

00:30:37.000 So I'm fighting her tooth and nail 0.99

00:30:38.520 My wife would never say that 0.99

00:30:39.300 She's too busy saying, you look fat in that 1.00

00:30:42.000 But she knows exactly how to get to me

00:30:45.660 She says, but we're going to lose

00:30:47.540 Like half the money that I had to put up

00:30:49.660 For the appointment

00:30:52.040 Then again

00:30:53.680 And that's when a Marine says, looks like we lose that money.

00:30:57.400 Looks like we lose money.

00:30:58.300 Well, that's how cheap I am. 1.00

00:30:59.760 She knew exactly how to nail me.

00:31:01.100 So I ended up getting suckered into this.

00:31:02.920 Okay.

00:31:03.640 But you got it.

00:31:05.360 But you need to talk about your reaction after and how you couldn't come out to Francis Tavern yesterday where George Washington gave his farewell address to the troops because you were in a fetal position. 0.99

00:31:16.860 Ricky, shut up. 0.89

00:31:17.640 Who's doing this interview? 0.99

00:31:18.420 You didn't tell me that part of the story.

00:31:20.560 You didn't go to one of them where he gave his farewell address to his troops.

00:31:25.260 You didn't go because your face had a little owie right there under my eyes.

00:31:31.860 Ow, ow, ow.

00:31:33.060 It was like little bug bites all over my face.

00:31:35.380 Tell me this is not a normal.

00:31:36.620 It was embarrassing.

00:31:36.860 It was like mosquitoes making love to my eyes.

00:31:44.220 Okay, for one, maybe it was the trauma because the surgeon that comes out, 1.00

00:31:48.020 I'm expecting, I don't know, like a little petite, you know, cute woman to do this. 0.54

00:31:52.940 Sure, why are you stereotyping?

00:31:55.300 I'm not stereotyping.

00:31:56.620 Maybe this is what I was hoping for.

00:31:58.840 Get the porn music. 1.00

00:32:00.140 He was expecting some cute woman to go, would you like a happy ending with this? 1.00

00:32:05.240 Oh, gosh. 1.00

00:32:06.300 So instead, I swear, like a six-foot-six large woman 0.98

00:32:14.640 who speaks in a Russian accent. 1.00

00:32:18.860 Of course you went to a chop shop. 0.98

00:32:22.280 But could it be anyway?

00:32:23.500 She goes, I don't know what she said,

00:32:26.160 but what I heard was, you know,

00:32:28.000 sit in the chair and I will poke you

00:32:29.900 for like four or five times.

00:32:31.200 I'm like, oh my gosh.

00:32:32.280 I'm like, honey, is this going to hurt?

00:32:33.660 And she goes, no, you won't hear it. 0.50

00:32:34.620 I asked the Russian lady if this was going to hurt, 1.00

00:32:37.380 and she just scowled at me. 1.00

00:32:38.820 I swear she just growled at me.

00:32:40.880 Are you in the Russian military somehow losing to you people?

00:32:47.720 That's what she was thinking.

00:32:49.360 Well, I don't know if this is a normal reaction or not,

00:32:51.800 but when I stood up, I got lightheaded.

00:32:54.480 I was doubled over.

00:32:56.620 I was sick to my stomach for the rest of the day.

00:32:59.820 I mean, tell me, is this got to be a normal reaction, right?

00:33:03.120 Women and some men that we know on television.

00:33:07.180 Not me.

00:33:07.560 No, no, not Glenn.

00:33:09.500 He's had surgery, but it didn't fix anything on his face.

00:33:13.560 Wait.

00:33:14.340 What?

00:33:14.800 Wait.

00:33:15.700 Wait.

00:33:17.120 You know.

00:33:17.720 No, that wasn't part of the surgery.

00:33:20.560 I had to have, I couldn't, remember I couldn't see.

00:33:23.360 Yeah, I recall.

00:33:23.660 And they were like, you got to cut your eyes open.

00:33:25.760 I was like, hey, Adrian, cut me.

00:33:28.660 So they did that.

00:33:30.060 But you keep looking at this.

00:33:31.760 I have the weirdest, most phantom of the opera face ever.

00:33:36.700 It's like a Frankenstein.

00:33:37.760 Frankenstein. You got a facelift.

00:33:39.580 That's what you're saying. That's called a facelift.

00:33:41.300 And you're kidding me. Can we redirect

00:33:43.680 that back?

00:33:44.840 We got a facelift, but it didn't fix anything.

00:33:47.860 It did. I can see it wasn't

00:33:49.580 supposed to fix the way I look.

00:33:53.000 And I'm

00:33:53.820 taking the abuse.

00:33:55.140 Because you know what?

00:33:57.180 I've never had a man card.

00:34:00.140 You can't take it from me.

00:34:01.920 I've never had it.

00:34:03.020 You're a marine.

00:34:04.600 This is a man who went to a Broadway show every night this week.

00:34:07.420 You are correct because you went to a Broadway show

00:34:10.980 literally every night this week.

00:34:13.260 Yes, I did.

00:34:14.220 And I'm proud of it.

00:34:16.320 Proud of it.

00:34:16.980 Okay, so Jason, let's go back to you being in a fetal position 0.80

00:34:19.080 because you couldn't take a few pokes on your face.

00:34:20.760 Well, I love how you redirected to Glenn.

00:34:22.460 I think we should just kind of sit in that bed for a while.

00:34:24.360 Wait a minute here.

00:34:24.960 We're cooking with gas now, baby.

00:34:27.980 Everybody's like, of course, Glenn.

00:34:29.740 Yeah, we got that.

00:34:30.760 We got that.

00:34:31.840 Not the Marine.

00:34:32.800 Not the, what is it, the cupcake motorcycle group that you're in.

00:34:35.980 What was the name of that thing?

00:35:16.060 Kept Jason's safe or yes for retribution for all the slaps.

00:35:37.540 Should the Marines revoke any information they may have on his tour of duty?

00:35:49.360 I mean, has there been a Marine that gets Botox?

00:35:53.580 Honestly.

00:35:54.460 I'm pretty sure Chesty Puller did get Botox at one point.

00:35:56.980 Can I ask you, Botox, because he got it all over his face.

00:36:00.860 I may have.

00:36:03.240 I'm an older woman.

00:36:04.240 I may have over the years

00:36:06.380 Had a little

00:36:07.620 Raise your eyebrows

00:36:09.200 I can do it

00:36:10.380 It's relaxed

00:36:12.540 He's not going to be able to smile

00:36:15.980 He got it all the way down

00:36:17.840 Down his cheekbone

00:36:20.360 Jason you get it and you go to work

00:36:22.240 You get it you go to church

00:36:23.580 You get it you go do your duties

00:36:25.280 You couldn't come out for dinner

00:36:27.860 Because you got Botox

00:36:30.200 Like

00:36:31.840 I have had a lot of respect for you over the years.

00:36:35.000 It's all gone, isn't it?

00:36:36.820 Overnight.

00:36:37.360 Yeah.

00:36:38.320 Overnight.

00:36:39.660 It was very interesting because they did go quite further down

00:36:42.840 because she had me, like, smile when I was lying in the chair.

00:36:46.160 So are you going to be able to smile?

00:36:47.920 Have they paralyzed his face?

00:36:49.800 Let you know in two weeks.

00:36:50.420 Let you know in two weeks.

00:36:51.180 He's going to look like this, isn't he?

00:36:52.460 He's going to just, I'm very, very happy right now.

00:36:55.440 Look at me.

00:36:56.160 I'm overjoyed.

00:36:57.480 We hired you for your face.

00:36:59.580 Oh, yeah, clearly.

00:37:00.680 Right?

00:37:01.200 Clearly.

00:37:01.860 No.

00:37:02.640 Nobody's going to buy that.

00:37:03.960 Nobody's going to buy that. 0.98

00:37:05.360 They might buy, you were a distraction to my ugly face. 0.99

00:37:09.440 Wow, Glenn, that's hideous. 0.98

00:37:11.360 How do you put that?

00:37:12.000 Oh, my gosh, it's Jason.

00:37:13.800 I mean, that may be that, but I don't think anybody's buying that.

00:37:16.500 Oh, man.

00:37:17.200 Well, thank you, Jason.

00:37:18.660 Yeah, you're welcome for that.
