The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Jeffy Fisher & Jim Geraghty ｜ 8⧸1⧸19

00:00:00.000 all right welcome to the podcast today we go over last night's debate and we talk about biden his

00:00:06.080 performance we talk about uh cory booker kamala harris tulsi gabbard who made noise who was good

00:00:13.600 who was not well we can say basically of course all of them were bad when it comes to policy but

00:00:18.400 who is actually performing well enough to be the other side of the presidential election in 2020

00:00:24.700 it's a big it's a big story you want to know who's going to be coming up against you and we

00:00:29.260 will get to that uh here on today's program also have an interesting moment from our segment with

00:00:35.720 jeffy which is the first time i think i've ever said that would you say that's true have you ever

00:00:40.920 had a interesting thing from no no no i think this was the first the first one he's found a video of

00:00:46.420 an interaction between a uh driver and a cop an older woman and a cop and how do you break this

00:00:54.000 down whose side are you on on this one i i i was kind of thinking i was going to go into this and

00:00:58.260 and be in the middle i ended up on one side pretty hard uh jeffy did as well and i think

00:01:04.060 you did as well at the end it was it's interesting to kind of go through the video and see did the

00:01:09.000 cop act appropriately or not i you know it's it's on the you know it's on the border for some people

00:01:14.120 not for me uh and we will talk about uh the election with jim garrity of national review

00:01:20.380 who comes on to kind of give us a perspective of the election and the debates and where we stand

00:01:25.080 right now uh and so much more here on the glenn beck program podcast

00:01:30.020 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:41.580 with pat and stew for glenn this week uh you can check out my show uh pat gray unleashed

00:01:50.940 immediately preceding this and then you listen to the podcast podcast at your leisure

00:01:55.520 at any time and point um so last night's democrat debate pretty agonizing as was the night before

00:02:03.980 you say um you said on the pre-show stew that you you disliked this group even more than the first

00:02:10.740 night's group yeah i really did uh watching it you know i had to watch both of the entire debates 0.93

00:02:16.160 because it's part of our stupid job yeah and it's hard though yeah it is really every minute i want 0.61

00:02:22.140 no stop every single minute it's like you know it's like if you uh now i know this would not 0.96

00:02:27.280 necessarily um relate to you but i think it may relate to a couple people in the audience which is

00:02:33.180 when you had a lot to drink and you go you're back up near the bar and someone's like hey how about

00:02:41.060 shots for everyone and you have that moment of like your body is screaming at you don't do it

00:02:47.140 please don't do it not another one but you're like i kind of have to i'm here all the people

00:02:54.740 are around me there's that weird feeling like you just kind of you don't want to be the one who's

00:02:58.940 who's uh you know who's bailing on the party and then you do it and you vomit uh you know profusely

00:03:06.260 all night what you're about to hear is a program where we're vomiting profusely all night that is

00:03:11.440 the entire thing because last ever you're right every other person that begins speaking i think

00:03:17.040 to myself don't do it don't stay here don't take another shot and then i do and it's it's painful

00:03:23.240 i you know night one i thought was was at least interesting in the idea that you had people who

00:03:30.960 were saying uh i have a moderate view or a more moderate view than the crazy socialists and then

00:03:38.680 they were debating things i thought at least of substance where last night it was just everyone

00:03:43.460 picking on joe biden i mean with i mean kirsten gillibrand was shameless you know she has developed 0.97

00:03:50.520 an immunity to shame and i don't know how you do that that's tough to do but she has developed she's 0.81

00:03:56.260 super unlikable too super unlikable and she went to this ridiculous attack about some op-ed joe biden 0.98

00:04:02.500 wrote in 1879 yeah about yeah about trying to protect families and you can just do we have that 0.51

00:04:09.980 because you can hear her we do have that uh you can hear her trying like you look i just wanna i just

00:04:16.040 wanna know what he meant by that it really is that you didn't you just magically were offended by a 40

00:04:23.000 year old op-ed today that that's what happened and you're just curious you could have asked him

00:04:28.220 probably a thousand times when you've been talking to him in private over the past years if this was

00:04:32.140 really offending you uh but instead you're bringing it up on the debate stage it's just

00:04:35.860 transparent let's uh let's play that uh gillibrand and biden talking about women who work cut 18 i just

00:04:42.440 need to understand as a woman who's worked my entire career as the primary wage earner as the primary

00:04:48.160 caregiver in fact the second my second son henry is here and i had him wow when i was a member of

00:04:54.380 congress so under vice president biden's analysis am i serving in congress resulting in the

00:05:01.520 deterioration of the family because i had access to quality affordable daycare i just want to know

00:05:06.340 what he meant when he said that that was a long time ago and here's what it was about it would have

00:05:12.480 given people making today a hundred thousand dollars a year a tax break for child care i did

00:05:18.660 not want that i wanted the child care to go to people making less than a hundred thousand dollars

00:05:23.280 so he's answered and that's what it was about as a single father who in fact raised three children

00:05:28.300 for five years by myself i have some idea what it cost i support making sure that every single

00:05:36.360 solitary person needing child care get an eight thousand dollar tax credit that would put seven

00:05:42.080 hundred thousand women back to work increase the gdp by almost eight tenths of one percent it's the 1.00

00:05:48.960 right thing to do if we can give tax breaks to corporations for these things why can't we do it

00:05:53.820 this way mr vice president you didn't answer my question what did you mean what would you mean

00:05:59.300 when a woman works outside the home it's resulting in quote the deterioration of family and that we 1.00

00:06:05.020 are avoiding these are quotes it was the title of the op-ed she repeats this to get the viral moment

00:06:10.160 because she needs to have it encapsulated women are working four to ten moms have to work they're 1.00

00:06:15.260 the primary or sole wage earners they actually have to put food on the table eight out of ten moms are 1.00

00:06:20.040 working today most women all right we get the points you know look and you know what the deal is 1.00

00:06:25.700 it may have been it may have even been at the time because 40 years ago people believed that one of the

00:06:31.720 parents should be home to raise the kids people just believe that i know it's ancient ancient

00:06:37.200 thinking and so so so wrong-headed right that children should be raised by parents they should be 0.57

00:06:42.880 raised by tv we know that now or video games or a daycare center um if you're kirsten gillibrand

00:06:50.700 that's what you think that's just as good as either one of the parents being are you saying the

00:06:54.440 someone who's raising the kid by an ipad is a bad parent no i'm saying that's the way to go now okay

00:06:59.920 because you said video games and you said television i was you did not mention tablets i was concerned i'm

00:07:04.380 sorry that was an egregious oversight what did you mean by that i would like to know as a parent who

00:07:10.140 was raising their kid by kid via ipad i would like to know what you meant by that can we all admit

00:07:14.860 that it is the optimal situation if you can for one of the parents to be home and raise your kids

00:07:19.980 it's a great option to have it's not always available to everyone but we all know yeah the

00:07:24.740 ideal situation is if one of the parents can be home then be home and raise the kids right but like

00:07:31.860 what's really bad and again gillibrand is terrible she's trying to do what kamala harris did last time 1.00

00:07:36.480 right she's trying to have this big viral moment yep and here's the thing you're talking fakey outrage

00:07:41.260 like your i your concept is well it's really hard to raise a kid as a single parent you're talking to

00:07:47.000 a guy who tragically lost his wife in a car crash yeah right like this is the one guy who really does

00:07:54.280 have experience uh in this world as he said he was a single dad for a while yes i mean you know it is 0.99

00:08:01.860 it's one of those things where she's just not good at this she's pathetic and she just needs to just 0.95

00:08:08.040 drop out and go away i don't think she has any chance of making the next debate she did not perform 0.97

00:08:12.120 well at all last night uh and at some level the average person would say i'm embarrassing myself in

00:08:21.640 front of the nation and i need to stop doing it well that would require having some shame some shame

00:08:26.760 and she's immune to it yeah they they don't all right 888-727-BECK it's pat and stew for glenn on

00:08:33.480 the glenn beck program more in 60 seconds this is the glenn beck program pat and stew for glenn

00:08:40.240 888-727-BECK we should we remembered that there was a little something extra uh at the end of this

00:08:46.740 clip so we need to finish the uh gillibrand biden exchange here because joe kind of i mean he does a

00:08:54.780 good job he does a good job here yeah watch this most women have to work to provide for their kids 1.00

00:09:00.260 many women want to be working to provide for their communities to help people let the vice president 1.00

00:09:04.820 either you don't believe it today or what did you mean when you said it the very beginning my

00:09:09.380 deceased wife worked but we had children my present wife has worked all the way through 1.00

00:09:12.940 raising our children the fact of the matter is the situation is one that i don't know what's

00:09:17.720 happened i wrote the violence against women act lily led better i was deeply involved in making

00:09:22.020 sure the equal pay amendments i was deeply involved in all these things i came up with the it's on us

00:09:27.080 proposal to see to it that women were treated more decently on college campuses you came to 0.69

00:09:32.640 syracuse university with me and said it was wonderful i'm passionate about the concern making

00:09:37.840 sure women are treated equally i don't know what's happened except that you're now running for 1.00

00:09:42.480 president so i understand mr vice president it's kind of a burn there i respect you deeply i respect

00:09:52.480 you deeply yeah we don't need a response she just goes she does it again by the way she does it again 1.00

00:09:57.060 yeah but but those words and i would like to know what you meant by those words that i'm trying to get

00:10:01.460 a viral video at to raise more money why aren't you responding directly because i need these to be

00:10:06.200 together so there's not an edit and then i can send it out to donors that is like is legitimately what

00:10:11.580 she's doing and she just gets destroyed in that exchange and you know it is so true she is

00:10:18.380 transparently awful when it comes to consistency she really did run as a congressperson as a you know 0.99

00:10:26.980 like a john delaney right she's like a conservative democrat yeah on immigration and i think even 0.92

00:10:34.140 abortion and several other issues she was much more conservative than she is now and she's as soon as

00:10:39.320 she ran for statewide office she completely changed into a hardcore leftist and as biden points out and

00:10:46.260 it's interesting because he's got this sort of information on every one of these people every one

00:10:50.120 of these candidates he has had backroom conversations with because they were all begging him for attention

00:10:57.300 and position and to heighten their profile because biden obviously was in the white house for eight years

00:11:04.280 under a president by the way that has something like a 95 approval rating among among democrats so

00:11:10.520 this is not a it's not a situation where the you know biden is unfamiliar with these characters

00:11:15.820 they're all just a they're just shameless i couldn't believe the things they were saying about

00:11:21.320 this guy and again i i don't like joe biden and not just him yeah not just him obama yeah they're

00:11:27.640 going after obama and his record it's like okay so have you guys are has obama been taken off the

00:11:36.260 throne of god himself because at one point that's almost who they believed he was yeah yeah i would

00:11:42.960 love to see i'd love to hear from today a democratic a normal democratic voter or if you happen to be

00:11:50.740 married to a normal democratic voter have one in your household that was watching the debate with you 0.95

00:11:54.540 because i wonder if the average democratic voter felt the same way that i did and i don't like joe

00:12:01.000 biden i think he would be a horrific president right and i know i think i don't think he's a

00:12:05.160 i don't think he would be not only a good president but he's not honest there's a lot of problems i have 0.90

00:12:10.580 with the guy but it was so over the top the attacks were so ridiculous against him that i almost felt bad

00:12:18.120 for him i was like this is just like they're just piling on him with these fake attacks and these are

00:12:23.800 people that he's had relationships with that he's helped over this time and it felt so over the top

00:12:29.060 and ridiculous i wonder if this the average democratic voter was like the same thing this is 0.72

00:12:33.180 ridiculous i mean they're not even trying to hide that this is blatantly political i mean they were 0.85

00:12:38.260 not these were not valid attacks and then they're you know i don't even know what cory booker was doing 0.95

00:12:44.220 i know his eyes were wide open he was seeing everyone in the crowd that i know because that is

00:12:50.480 something he signals every time he speaks and i think you get the impression by watching

00:12:56.400 booker that everything he says he's practiced in front of a mirror for 20 minutes beforehand

00:13:01.500 and he's very his eyes light up because he's seeing himself and he really likes seeing himself he likes

00:13:07.040 his reflection he loves his face he loves that he's on camera all the time and he just comes off as so

00:13:13.000 prepared and fake and every one of these debates afterwards the same things happen and i don't know if i'm just

00:13:19.520 completely out of touch but the he's constantly praised for his performance and i sit back i'm just

00:13:25.880 like what what were they watching what what program were they watching cory booker is so um is so false

00:13:37.540 he's trying too hard all the time and at the end of the day i don't know how that connects to people

00:13:45.740 but i guess it does for some at least in the media the media is constant praise for cory booker

00:13:50.040 constant they think he's the greatest guy in the world every single one of these things they say he

00:13:53.840 does a great job on i thought he was terrible last night terrible so we're talking about cory booker

00:13:57.920 and his awful performance what was this kool-aid thing all about here's a little exchange between

00:14:03.020 joe biden and and cory booker for the entire eight years he was mayor there was nothing done to deal

00:14:11.360 with the police department that was corrupt why did you announce in the first day a zero

00:14:15.780 tolerance policy of stop and frisk and hire rudy giuliani's guy in 2007 when i was trying to get

00:14:24.020 rid of the crack cocaine mr vice president there's a saying in my community you're dipping into kool-aid

00:14:28.360 and you don't even know the flavor uh you need to you need to come to the city of north and see the

00:14:34.420 reforms that we put in place the new jersey head of the aclu has said that i embraced reforms not just

00:14:40.820 in action but indeed sir you are trying to shift the view from what you created i mean i get cringe

00:14:49.600 chills you're trying watching him try to pull that line off into the kool-aid yeah when you don't even

00:14:55.460 know the flavor oh wow now i am not the most cultured man in america pat um so the you're

00:15:03.780 dipping into the kool-aid but you you're unaware of the flavor first of all flavor is always

00:15:09.180 labeled on the it's on the outside of the of the container very easy to if you're dipping into it

00:15:14.200 it's obviously in a bowl of some kind and you can see what flavor it is right because it's colored

00:15:18.360 yeah yeah they're colored bowl would be grape red would be maybe strawberry flavored or cherry 0.94

00:15:24.260 right orange would be i don't know orange flavored you know we have a dumb expression

00:15:32.520 and so let's say you get the flavor wrong you get another delicious flavor of kool-aid is that the

00:15:36.660 outcome here that sounds terrible here's a guy by the way you know here's a guy who has who has

00:15:43.860 spent years walking through the walls of apartments and saying oh yeah to people when it comes to the

00:15:52.100 kool-aid man kool-aid man he has been delivering real information on kool-aid for decades right and

00:15:57.300 cory booker comes in here with this ridiculous saying and tries to throw all of that information

00:16:01.720 spreading out the window you know the wrong it's wrong it's wrong i uh i i'm fascinated by this

00:16:08.980 because i mean look i understand that perhaps i don't have the connection to some of these things

00:16:16.320 that maybe i need to understand the cory bookers because do you live in his community he's a man

00:16:21.520 with his multiple condos that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars uh his multiple businesses

00:16:28.400 he's started up and somehow got millions of dollars of funding without any knowledge of how to actually

00:16:35.280 run the businesses which are now out of business um and he was doing that while he was a mayor of a

00:16:40.260 city cory booker's uh his history of corruption in that city is is fascinating we did an entire

00:16:47.000 episode on it a few weeks ago on the television show but the idea that uh so you're dipping trying

00:16:54.660 to understand you're dipping into the kool-aid but you don't know the flavor it just doesn't seem all

00:16:59.680 that problematic to me it doesn't i just because let's say you think it's strawberry okay but it turns

00:17:07.140 out to be orange yeah like i are you gonna vomit it's just really it really tastes good still i

00:17:13.180 mean it's a delicious sugary drink i mean as soon as it's in your glass don't you see that hey i oh i

00:17:18.660 thought that was cherry but no it's orange so i'm gonna drink it now anyway um now there is a there's

00:17:24.200 a pathway here pat for people like us if you dip into the kool-aid and you find out it's round up

00:17:29.120 that might be a different issue now you got a problem i have i have had a drink so for me it would

00:17:35.700 not be a problem but it's icky right rat poison might be a better uh a better a better example so

00:17:43.200 um there is a pathway though for people like us pat to bridge the gap between our community the uh

00:17:49.780 evil white whitey white tastic community of the suburbs where we've walled off our community in a 1.00

00:17:59.360 bubble uh so that no one else of color can get into it that community that i assume that we live in 0.94

00:18:04.800 because because we voted conservative in the past and the community of cory booker not the one that

00:18:10.000 he's making millions of dollars and living in a beautiful condo in the nicest area of washington dc

00:18:16.300 not that cory booker but the one that he's portraying here you know a man of the people

00:18:21.120 of the streets that's him he knows this talk this is natural for him that wasn't the first time he had

00:18:26.500 ever said that it is his entire life this that pathway however to this is the bridge there is called

00:18:33.160 urban dictionary.com now if you go to urban dictionary.com and you type in something you

00:18:38.340 don't understand it will attempt to tell you what it means so here don't be dipping in the kool-aid when 0.96

00:18:44.720 you don't know the flavor apparently means when you say to a dumb person that they are getting in 0.66

00:18:50.920 your business now i should i should point out you may have heard b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s it's actually b-i-z-n-e-s-s so 0.88

00:18:59.980 when they're getting in your business or messing with stuff they don't need to be messing with

00:19:05.700 and we have an example sentence here for you um bill if bill were to say lmao i bet she dumped you 0.97

00:19:14.740 because you were a cheap ass nick might respond man don't be dipping in the kool-aid when you don't 0.97

00:19:21.480 know the flavor and i think now with that perspective yeah we can all understand and 0.99

00:19:28.320 appreciate what booker was talking about which by the way what he was what biden was talking about

00:19:34.240 was accurate you know look is it a terrible thing to hire rudy julian guy to to work on security in a

00:19:42.640 major city well rudy did a pretty freaking good job with it so i don't think that that is a rudy

00:19:46.780 turned that town around yeah and his people now the rudy juliani of today is looked at differently

00:19:52.500 yes right right but back in early 90s right i mean he fixed times square he he did turn new york around

00:19:59.100 and juliani did this for uh cities all around the country he you know doing consulting and stuff for

00:20:04.580 cities all around the country and america to try to replicate those same results so the fact that

00:20:09.820 booker did that is not actually controversial but you see booker avoiding it because now

00:20:15.140 juliani's tied to trump and you can't say anything good about trump i mean they called him a white

00:20:19.000 nationalist last night on television flat out racist flat out racist multiple times they said he was

00:20:23.900 helping al-qaeda jeez i mean it is they just cannot stop themselves the best of the glenbeck program

00:20:39.820 hey it's glenn and if you like what you hear on the program you should check out pat gray unleashed

00:20:58.640 stop by to a little to a little bit of the fat why to a little bit of the fat with you today again

00:21:03.720 day after the debate why excited to be here for the fourth time why who invited you is what i want

00:21:11.700 to know you did no you no that's that's completely untrue which candidate invited you to this debate

00:21:17.580 michael bennett okay michael bennett it probably i would have guessed it was gillibrand because

00:21:22.340 she's the most annoying so there's no doubt about that she is really cringeworthy man oh did you see 0.57

00:21:27.480 her last night talking about uh how she she's trying to you know she's a white woman yeah but 1.00

00:21:34.720 she's trying to act as if she's the voice of all the different colors of the rainbow it's really

00:21:40.280 agonizing she's a white woman but she's the voice of minorities yes and she's she's very she's got a

00:21:45.600 lot of guilt about being a white person she does not like that of course she does not a fan of her

00:21:49.920 whiteness no uh here is gillibrand talking about her uh her her embrace of all the colors of the

00:21:58.040 rainbow i think as a white woman of privilege who is a u.s senator running for president united states 1.00

00:22:03.600 it is also my responsibility to lift over those voices that aren't being listened to and i can talk

00:22:09.740 to those white women in the suburbs that voted for trump and explain to them what white privilege 1.00

00:22:13.520 actually is that when their son is walking down the street with a bag of m&m's in his pocket 0.95

00:22:18.360 wearing a hoodie his whiteness is what protects him from not being shot oh my god take your white 1.00

00:22:24.500 privilege bs and stick it that might be the worst clip of the entire thing that entire debate number 0.78

00:22:30.460 one number one imagine being a white woman in the suburbs and hearing that it's so condescending 0.89

00:22:39.980 you're going to explain to me white privilege senator thank you really are you because i can't

00:22:46.500 wait for that one number two if she had white privilege it must not be effective because she's 1.00

00:22:52.440 at zero percent i mean you're telling me white privilege doesn't even get you to one percent in

00:22:56.420 the polls not even the one that's depressing and and this is something that i don't i don't i mean

00:23:03.400 this is a kind of a news-based program so i'm going to break a little news here it's going to be

00:23:07.660 stunning if you're driving you may want to pull over to the side of the road if you want to have

00:23:11.120 that moment because this is you may just jerk the wheel into a pole if you're going 65 of the highway

00:23:16.380 right now i once and it's only happened once saw a person of color walk safely in a hoodie

00:23:24.020 i saw i swear i saw it now when i pulled around the corner he may have been shot immediately i don't

00:23:30.180 know but i of course he was it was a good 30 seconds of safe walking wow a person of color in

00:23:38.800 a hoodie safely strolled for 30 seconds in my purview do you have video proof of that i don't

00:23:45.660 and that's why no one believes it everyone's like oh did you get abducted by aliens too and yes and i

00:23:52.160 don't have video of that either but this is real i saw this happen they act as if like every you know

00:23:59.440 again the numbers do not support the idea at all that police are shooting black people at any rate

00:24:06.760 higher than than uh is first of all connected to the crimes and actions of the people involved

00:24:12.560 and number two uh it is they shoot more white people than they do black people right by about

00:24:18.160 we know the uh people you're much much much more likely to be killed by someone of the same race 0.98

00:24:24.800 black people are much more likely to be killed by black people white people are much more likely to 0.96

00:24:28.440 be killed by white people yeah because you're more likely to be killed by someone around if you decide 0.99

00:24:33.620 to break it out into the percentages and say which one is more oh don't you dare start start on that 0.99

00:24:39.320 right i'm not going to don't you dare you had a story about the police i did well you know one of the

00:24:44.880 things that uh is helping the police in your in your numbers that we don't get to them no i will

00:24:50.540 not i definitely will not give you numbers from the fbi crime report because i know that would be

00:24:55.140 that would be the most racist thing you could possibly do today and i'll not have it is there

00:24:59.320 a more racist organization than the fbi producing their crime report with the numbers no no no no there

00:25:05.360 is not but the police officers are starting to wear body cams now which is proving to their benefit

00:25:10.520 more times than not yeah it seems yes but there are also times i'd want him if i was an officer

00:25:16.040 me too absolutely absolutely but they're more there there are times when uh you see a story like this

00:25:20.940 where the 65 year old lady in oklahoma got pulled over by uh you know by a police officer and his body

00:25:26.300 cam on and you go through and start breaking down the interaction and i don't know during this video

00:25:35.000 i'm i'm for the cop and then i'm against the i'm for the police officer and i'm against the police

00:25:39.940 officer by the end i'm still i'm still confused i think i'm a little torn on this one too so we

00:25:44.740 start off with the original stop uh with the officer pulling the lady over well i did issue a for a

00:25:51.160 defective equipment it's 80 dollars i have till september 16th to take care of this uh get you to sign

00:25:56.940 there with the exodus so you don't even give a warning for this you've been driving around for six

00:26:01.720 months like that i'm truthful well i'm not going to give you a warning for something you've been

00:26:05.480 driving for six months well i don't want to sign it because i don't want to do 80 dollars you don't

00:26:11.280 want to sign it no because i don't think that i deserve to pay 80 dollars for something that is

00:26:17.400 fixable and i can fix it okay so now she doesn't want to sign the ticket right so you uh you go

00:26:23.240 through the process i've done that too where i've been a little pissed off at the you don't want

00:26:26.800 to sign the ticket and i don't want to sign it and it's the police officer's discretion

00:26:29.820 what happens here at this point though i'm completely with the police officer yes 100

00:26:35.600 completely yes she's just being belligerent and like it's i had a friend once who got pulled over

00:26:40.720 uh for speeding and he said um they said why were you speeding and he said well i guess i just tend

00:26:45.660 to speed on this road and i was like that's the worst excuse i've ever heard you're telling him

00:26:49.960 you've committed this crime like a hundred times right and so uh here it's like it's nice of her and

00:26:55.660 and you give her some brownie points for being honest and saying it's been six months but once

00:26:59.440 once the officer has that knowledge he has to give you the ticket right and so he's going to give her

00:27:03.420 the ticket and you know it's it's his discretion what happens is when you get pulled over for

00:27:07.640 instance for speeding and they say you were doing 60 miles an hour in a 40 mile an hour zone and you

00:27:12.720 just tell them well i wasn't going to be out that long i wasn't even out for an hour i don't even

00:27:16.800 know what are you talking about wait what did that work for you uh no okay no so then uh now

00:27:24.380 the officer is uh starting to get a little ticked off right instead of instead of saying instead of

00:27:29.240 ripping the ticket off and giving it to her throwing it in the car and saying well you're still going to

00:27:32.920 get the ticket you still have to pay for it whether you sign it or not and really that's what happens

00:27:36.500 it doesn't negate the ticket in any way not signing it doesn't do anything you still have to do it

00:27:40.920 yeah so now the officer is you know he's got a little he's got his back up against the wall a little

00:27:45.780 bit in his mind all right that's all you want to step out of the car why because you're under

00:27:52.680 arrest step out okay step out of the vehicle now we're not signing the ticket you can have that

00:27:58.040 happen you be fair with me and i'll be fair with you step out no you're under arrest no i'm not

00:28:04.520 no i'm placing you under arrest step out because you're not making me under no arrest stop do not

00:28:13.040 do not take off oh give me that and i'll sign it step out no we're beyond that you want me to step

00:28:18.040 out okay so right now right now okay so okay so right now though we've had two opportunities

00:28:25.860 two opportunities for the police officer to take the air out of this bubble de-escalate right the 0.80

00:28:31.300 whole thing he could have wait at one point she i know she's he said she said just give it to me and

00:28:36.200 i'll sign it and he we're way past that now right so i mean at that point he could have just given it

00:28:42.280 correct okay and i i'll give you that one now he's pissed and he doesn't want to right and i kind of

00:28:47.640 don't blame him for that how long was the time between this first video and the second video was

00:28:52.800 he trying to convince her for five minutes was it 30 seconds some of this dash cam video seems to be

00:28:57.180 edited a little bit from the police officer so i don't know if it was a 20 minute right if it's 20

00:29:02.440 minutes and she's arguing with him for 20 minutes and then he finally says all right now you're

00:29:05.700 under arrest yeah the original dash cam i have uh it's it's easier to understand his position if

00:29:10.860 it's if it's 15 seconds and she says she's not going to sign it three times and then he says you're

00:29:16.100 under arrest that you know there there is a big line there so you're still kind of on the police

00:29:20.500 officer side yeah yeah and she takes off and she is being belligerent and she did by the way start 1.00

00:29:25.300 to roll away and stop right well you can absolutely not do that with a police officer and then she left 0.91

00:29:30.780 and then she left and then she pulled away that was a dumb move so now okay really dumb but he has 0.86

00:29:35.400 all the information on her right he knows where she lives he knows all that information he doesn't 0.76

00:29:40.040 have to pursue her except he's ticked right you pull away from a cop after a traffic stop you

00:29:46.100 absolutely absolutely and it was a horrible traffic stop too because she had a light out

00:29:49.940 anyway the uh i mean the criminal activity of that is just huge again though who does that would you

00:29:57.600 ever do that not you jeffy pat would you ever do that and the reason you wouldn't do it and i've

00:30:01.780 been pulled over 15 times right so i've had plenty of i've had ample opportunity right yeah no way and

00:30:07.240 i think most people wouldn't do it than that right yeah you know better than that you don't disrespect

00:30:11.400 the cop like that so now she's pulled away and he's pursuing her and uh finally catches up to

00:30:16.860 get out of the car get out of the car now he's pulled his weapon on her get out of the car you 1.00

00:30:25.580 run i mean now the gun thing is maybe a tad extreme now he's pulled his weapon out he's pursued her

00:30:32.120 geez got her pulled over we hear multiple police officers now we've really escalated here we sure

00:30:37.580 have we have really escalated are you with the cop on at this point or the or the person look if

00:30:43.460 someone runs from a cop yeah and now you can say well she's only an old white woman and i know 65 1.00

00:30:50.340 years lady look i know i know what you guys dealt with her with a black person in a hoodie we know 1.00

00:30:55.140 what you do there well they'd be dead already but again if this was a a 25 year old soon as he saw the 0.89

00:31:00.900 person in the car with the hoodie it should be shot it would be dead right yeah if this is a 25 year 0.73

00:31:05.680 old guy in a car and he pulled away they would absolutely go after him and do exactly what they're 0.96

00:31:10.820 doing here and the reason what that's a little bit sexist on my part because i would think almost

00:31:15.820 i think i might believe it's almost appropriate yeah to approach him with a gun if it's a 25 year

00:31:21.000 old kid yeah and a part of that is like you might suspect there's an additional crime why are you

00:31:25.520 running from the cop when it's an 80 ticket you're expecting that maybe there's something more going

00:31:30.140 on here the belligerent older lady i just think okay come on oh come but again an older older lady 1.00

00:31:36.560 what is she gonna do she's got a finger right and she can pull a trigger but he's already dealt

00:31:40.780 with that he's already he's already seen that you know the odds are she's not armed right i mean

00:31:46.060 she's already dealt with her up to the vehicle but he's not shooting he's just no he's not shooting

00:31:49.880 right he knows how to use his weapon he pulls his weapon so that she gets you know ordering her 0.99

00:31:53.900 out of the car and then uh then what happens transpires all right get out of the car

00:31:59.220 oh and now he's gonna drag her out just pull her right out 1.00

00:32:05.520 put your hands behind your back

00:32:09.680 oh and there okay now comes the taser

00:32:18.940 and he tased her put your hands behind your back 0.95

00:32:23.560 put your hands behind your back

00:32:29.140 lay down and put your hands behind your back

00:32:32.840 i mean okay now she okay there's no question she's in the wrong all right yes so he put his

00:32:38.160 weapon away drags her out of the truck drags this old woman out of the truck throws her down on the 1.00

00:32:43.600 ground there's no she's ordering her to put her hands behind her back she obviously has going to 1.00

00:32:47.840 have a difficult time doing that as a 65 year old woman not quite uh as in shape as us uh and so

00:32:55.420 she's going to have a difficult not as in shape as us can't put her arms i mean difficult she can't 1.00

00:33:00.440 do it so she rolls over and as she's rolling over she's kicking and she kicks him in the groin 1.00

00:33:04.560 oh man i don't know that that was i mean that was an accident oh stop it it was not an accident

00:33:09.840 so then she rolls away and he tases her oh i tases her you're you're infuriating on the story

00:33:15.080 come on yeah i think come on i'm with him so then thank you i'm with him she is absolutely doing

00:33:20.980 everything wrong on this in this issue and like look i think you're right could he have maybe

00:33:26.180 de-escalated it yes at one point and probably maybe should have taken that window but she is 1.00

00:33:31.220 acting completely irresponsibly she's doing things that she absolutely should not do and then you

00:33:37.140 come up with this she's old so she can't put her hands behind her back nonsense she's holding her 1.00

00:33:42.480 you just dragged this woman out of her car what if she laid down and put her hands to her sides 1.00

00:33:47.320 then she's not doing that either but she got up and kicked a police officer in the balls first of 1.00

00:33:51.340 all she rolled over she didn't she rolled over and kicked a police officer in the balls 1.00

00:33:55.380 then he tased her and he gets her handcuffed later you see she gets her handcuffed and then he's trying 0.84

00:34:01.220 to be are you okay are you hurt everything okay she's like no i'm not okay i'm hurt is he hurt

00:34:06.800 because that's happened to me before and it doesn't feel good no it doesn't so now she's been

00:34:11.400 charged with a felony assault on a police officer one misdemeanor for resisting arrest and let's not

00:34:17.180 forget about the broken taillight the towing charges the lot charges all all of this all of this for

00:34:22.700 a broken taillight kind of kind of shows she should have maybe signed the ticket yeah and she would

00:34:26.640 have avoided all of it i'm 100 cop on this one i gotta say and that's the thing you know this is what

00:34:33.440 everybody does with these incidents it's just what jeffy just did which is she does all these other

00:34:39.340 things and then she'd say all of that over a taillight no no an 80 ticket was over the taillight

00:34:45.260 it could have been over a long time ago it could have been had the police officer had better training

00:34:50.160 okay you're infuriating

00:34:53.020 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:34:58.460 jim garrity of national review also the author of between two scorpions a dangerous click novel

00:35:14.260 uh so jim talk talk to me a little generally here i think like in 2016 the republicans i think

00:35:21.880 attempted at least to learn lessons about sort of the structure of this where they had the kiddie table

00:35:27.320 debates and the adult debates and there's so many candidates and i don't know if they have any idea

00:35:31.460 how to deal with it looking at the way the democrats have structured this did they learn any lessons do

00:35:36.760 you think this has improved the process at all yeah i suppose if you're um andrew yang or uh marian

00:35:44.520 williamson or uh even you know michael bennett who believe it or not is a senator from colorado

00:35:49.760 uh he said you know very low little low low name id but you know he is really he's a real person

00:35:55.020 america john delaney really exists uh look john delaney has been on prime time debates for now it's

00:36:01.340 going to be four hours now uh maybe five if you depending on your stopwatch that's actually pretty

00:36:06.180 good you know that's not something that bobby jindal got and all he did was turn around the state

00:36:09.600 of louisiana yeah uh during his governorship down there um one of the look i i wrote yesterday in the

00:36:16.700 in the corner on national review online there's there's not parties would never choose to have

00:36:21.880 25 presidential candidates as the uh democrats have this time they would not choose to have

00:36:27.020 17 and my fear is that 2020 you know trump wins trump loses either way you know could have possibly

00:36:34.020 two parties could have you know no incumbent nominee um 25 might look like even small there's

00:36:39.620 nothing to it's a tragedy of the commons everybody's got an incentive to run

00:36:43.520 um and they end up making it hard because think about it think about all the candidates who went

00:36:47.680 into it wanting to be good in a debate but the measuring stick is not are you good in a debate

00:36:52.800 the measuring stick is can you be memorable and that's a much higher bar to clear and that's one

00:36:58.980 of the reasons like you know marianne williamson talking about dark psychic forces that's memorable

00:37:04.000 you know how your health care plan would affect the uh current health insurance of union members

00:37:09.820 in michigan that's probably not going to be as memorable yeah as everything else on there it does

00:37:15.300 it does incentivize sort of strange behavior in a way you know you have this situation like the delaney

00:37:21.360 um and elizabeth warren back and forth on health care was i thought really instructive to that it's

00:37:26.280 like delaney was i thought on substance just smoked her i mean he knew those he knew the topics he he

00:37:31.860 really had good knowledge of all i mean he went deep he was impressive i thought uh delaney in that

00:37:36.560 debate and obviously he's working against a room who really wants you know something more left but

00:37:41.360 the memorable moment is elizabeth warren saying well why do you run for president if you don't want to 1.00

00:37:46.120 try for difficult things well what you know again we were talking about this before it's like it could

00:37:50.260 be well wing let's we're going to make wings sprout out of everyone's back well that's a difficult

00:37:55.100 thing too but you know there are some things where you're limited and you know he's making a very

00:37:59.860 pragmatic smart point and the reward goes to elizabeth warren who comes up with kind of a catchy 1.00

00:38:05.960 line and everyone cheers at it that's just you're incentivizing bad behavior yeah stew if i'm ever

00:38:12.480 on a debate stage and one of my rivals says if we can dream it we can do it i tell them flap your arms

00:38:20.700 and fly see how that works no some things you dream you cannot do um and it's interesting because

00:38:27.760 everybody remembers warren slamming uh delaney if you look back to what delaney said the moment before

00:38:34.960 she was saying scoffing at him about his his skepticism his pessimism his lack of ambition

00:38:41.200 it was he wanted to rebuild our improve our infrastructure uh create jobs raise wages create

00:38:49.140 universal health care uh there's like one or two other fairly big goals in there that's not an

00:38:54.840 unambitious agenda that's that's fairly standard issue democratic politics and and you know elizabeth

00:39:00.920 warren saying oh my goodness can you believe this guy you know why should anyone you know run for

00:39:05.900 president if you're going to talk about what you can't do well i mean for starters there's the

00:39:09.840 constitution uh there's the power of the president of the united states the the need to build a consensus

00:39:16.600 in congress to get it through the house to get it through that there's judicial review the checks and

00:39:20.940 balances maybe what you're proposing isn't uh constitutional um you know maybe it would be good to have

00:39:26.780 let's have one debate where every candidate just gets up and say i'd like to do x but the power the

00:39:32.420 constitution power does the president does not have that power last debate presidential candidates were

00:39:37.300 saying we're going to get rid of the filibuster wait a minute the president doesn't decide what the

00:39:42.340 senate does with the filibuster you know it it really turns into when i am king i will do these things

00:39:48.300 and that's not how the american system works and this just generally speaking as uh as a country because

00:39:54.080 this i think very much affects uh the right as well we really are at the point where we're just

00:39:58.980 elevating these politicians into kings and heroes and you know you are judged as as your adherence to

00:40:06.780 whatever they're talking about at a particular moment that seems to be certainly has certainly hit the

00:40:13.000 you know the right side of the aisle it's i think certainly hitting the left side of the aisle as well

00:40:17.560 and it is the exact opposite of the way this country was formed and and the way we're supposed to be

00:40:23.280 thinking about these things this is not supposed to be some big contest where we all run towards

00:40:27.180 our hero and have them solve our all of our problems we have a system and it's worked pretty

00:40:31.540 well for the last couple hundred years it has uh my former colleague i'm sad to see him go jonah

00:40:37.800 goldberg used to you know quote i believe it was our william rusher who was one of the publishers of

00:40:41.620 national review who said you know look you know you want to like a politician fine but never fall in

00:40:47.340 love with a politician and he didn't mean romantically he just meant you know that that sense of where

00:40:51.140 you put him up on a pedestal just because you know first of all if you're a committed conservative or

00:40:55.540 you have some sort of issues or policies or beliefs you really believe in sooner or later that

00:41:00.900 politician nine if not nine times out of ten probably 99 times out of a hundred they're going to have to

00:41:06.460 compromise in some way and you're going to look at that compromise you're going to say oh i can't

00:41:10.200 believe they did that what a what a sellout how could he do that you know but that's the nature of

00:41:15.060 governing right that at some point you have to if you want to get those 51 votes in the senate you want to

00:41:19.600 get 60 votes if there's going to be a filibuster you want to get a majority you're going to have

00:41:23.280 to give a little you're going to have to say okay i'll give you some on column a and you you give me

00:41:27.080 some on column b and that's that's political reality those of us who care about these things tend to be

00:41:32.920 if not idealists then we have this idea in our heads of how things ought to work and sometimes

00:41:38.420 that's plausible and feasible in the political realm and sometimes it's not so the answer is to never

00:41:43.440 get too attached to these guys and i like to periodically joke you know look presidents stew their temp

00:41:48.740 workers you know you got a four-year contract if you're good we'll keep you another four years and

00:41:53.320 after that you're gone even if we think you're doing a great job um and we shouldn't be thinking

00:41:58.180 about them as these you know grand men of history who you know already picturing the statue of them

00:42:03.800 on the horse that'll be you know somewhere in washington or something like that yeah rushmore is

00:42:08.800 filled up full up guys thank god um so uh let me do this uh let me give you a scenario here i want

00:42:15.400 to take off the table uh sanders and kamala harris and warren and biden and i'm going to take

00:42:23.120 buddha judge too off off the table for you you have to pick one person who you think has the best chance 0.52

00:42:28.660 to win not the one you want to you want to win but the one who has the best chance to win if you

00:42:32.420 had to pull someone out of those lower tiers what do you what do you do wow that's that you

00:42:37.160 seriously deep down it's a five-person race and that's that five you just took off the

00:42:41.940 the table there are the five um i guess you know the for a while beto was generating excitement in

00:42:49.280 the very beginning um although i think looking back i mean i i have really relished the the uh

00:42:54.900 the icarus-like fall of better or work over the last year or two because i remember writing about

00:43:00.260 this guy uh back during the early part of the senate race saying you know look give him a little

00:43:04.360 bit of credit he's kind of charismatic um he campaigns hard in his races that he won for

00:43:09.500 el paso city council in there but beyond that no he's not you know the only thing that's kennedy-esque

00:43:14.320 about this guy is his driving record and uh the you know and so the idea that it went better than

00:43:20.480 usual for a texas democrat but you know not this world beater and that the only way he was going to

00:43:25.400 beat ted cruz is if ted cruz was asleep at the switch and that that didn't happen so he goes in there and

00:43:31.120 all of a sudden it's not you know him buoyed by a media that just absolutely loathes ted cruz right

00:43:38.060 and it's you know he doesn't have it and he doesn't have the national media operating as his uh

00:43:43.080 uh as his you know his press you know issue and press releases for me he got glowing coverage

00:43:48.300 probably on par with obama in 07 and 08 and now you put him on and he just wilts and all of a sudden

00:43:54.120 the jump in on the diner comes kind of weird and you hear he tried to trick his wife into eating baby

00:43:59.060 poop and you're like what's wrong with this man um you know so by that by the standards of whoever had

00:44:05.220 that stature early on beta or work had that kind of stature um beyond that booker is probably in the

00:44:13.480 best shot uh the best shape in south carolina um and i think if he had stuck to what he had built

00:44:18.960 his career on kind of this a little bit kumbaya-ish but you know almost like marianne williamson we're

00:44:24.220 going to win this race with love you know but uh cory booker back in his newark mayor days was not a

00:44:29.440 down the line lefty um and so there was some potential there but uh i think that the one of

00:44:35.700 the interesting stories about this 25 person race on the democratic side is that early on it looks

00:44:40.560 like most democratic primary voters or at least the people who are answering their phone for the polls

00:44:44.540 um looked at the top that the massive group picked five dishes from the buffet table they liked

00:44:51.080 and they're really not interested in looking at the other options that much yeah i think that that is

00:44:55.640 the state of affairs at the moment um before you go jim can you give me a couple minutes set me up to

00:45:00.700 uh to read between two scorpions sure uh for those who are used to reading me in politics this is really

00:45:07.000 not all that political uh this was my attempt to uh uh vent some creative energies into the realm of

00:45:14.260 the spy thriller i love brad thor tom clancy uh daniel silva all that kind of stuff um people who have

00:45:42.740 it is a kind of little quirky a little bit odd funnier than your typical thriller uh but it really much is

00:45:47.960 about a terrorist plot i just kind of sat down and said okay if i were a terrible terrorist how would

00:45:53.360 i attack america how are we vulnerable and without giving too much away i think our social divisions

00:45:58.660 are our cultural divisions are where we're very divided and if somebody set out to tear apart our

00:46:04.420 social fabric um i feel like we've done about half the work for them so far so uh thrills chills lots of
