00:00:00.000
Hey Stu, it's the Friday Podcast, and we've got Joe Biden talking about, thank goodness,
00:00:12.860
Me too, and we talk about that and so much more with some of our friends, Mr. Bill O'Reilly,
00:00:19.000
and then Brad Meltzer, that up-and-coming young whippersnapper, talks about things.
00:00:30.000
Today, and what happened, and what is happening with the Democratic Party, but we start with
00:00:44.760
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:53.540
So, still, you know, I'm going to say this, and this is going to be redundant for you,
00:00:59.560
because I'm going to play some clips from the, and you're, and you.
00:01:09.560
You weren't watching football last night, were you?
00:01:18.320
And I wasn't at a parent-teacher conference last night, either.
00:01:28.800
So, we were going to play a couple of clips for you.
00:01:32.460
Now, this is one of many, but I want to start with this one.
00:01:39.980
This is Joe Biden talking about how the government really can partner with parents
00:01:59.300
We bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children.
00:02:06.580
They don't want, they don't know quite what to do.
00:02:10.180
Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.
00:02:23.340
I just want to, just to make Joe Biden feel comfortable.
00:03:03.440
So, you know, you got to have the record player going.
00:03:06.900
This is the part where Jack Nicholson's at a really nice party, right?
00:03:21.040
You just close the front of it, and that's the volume.
00:03:30.320
So, Joe Biden, when was the last time you heard anyone say, you know, kids just don't hear
00:03:37.120
enough words, so you got to make sure the parents have the record player on?
00:03:42.200
It's been a while since I've heard that sentence attempted.
00:03:46.340
I have to tell you, I don't think I've ever heard that sentence.
00:03:50.860
Even growing up at a time where there were record players, I don't remember anybody's
00:04:03.620
It's especially weird how he came to it, because he came to it not from, I would have assumed
00:04:13.960
He actually went TV and then corrected it to record player.
00:04:16.580
And then he went the phone, and then he realized, no, the phone wouldn't work.
00:04:24.320
We bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children.
00:04:35.140
Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.
00:04:45.020
First of all, can we also step back and realize he's like talking about social workers coming
00:04:51.660
Which is like, the policy there seems questionable as well.
00:04:54.760
Well, especially if they're saying, turn on the radio.
00:04:59.140
You know, you kids nowadays, you don't understand.
00:05:15.980
Radio, no television, no television, no record players.
00:05:22.140
I'll tell you what, Edison's got one of these things you crank all around.
00:05:34.220
I think what he's actually trying to refer to there is there's some research that shows
00:05:39.400
that, you know, kids perform better later in life if their parents read to them, if they're
00:05:45.820
hearing conversations, if they're hearing words that, you know, their vocabularies are
00:06:00.580
When Biden said, let's do, I'm the vice president.
00:06:12.920
Did you make a mistake with those deportations?
00:06:17.460
The president did the best thing that was able to be done.
00:06:34.560
Well, he did call Bernie Sanders the president last night.
00:06:40.540
He called Cory Booker the president last time, right?
00:06:54.280
That's a big difference because Barack Obama's vision was not to leave 10 million people uncovered.
00:06:59.820
He wanted every single person in this country covered.
00:07:10.480
You just said two minutes ago that they would have to buy in.
00:07:15.980
If she qualifies for Medicaid, she's automatically being informed.
00:07:19.900
Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?
00:07:23.040
I mean, I can't believe that you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in, and now you're saying they don't have to buy in.
00:07:30.660
I said anyone like your grandmother who has no money.
00:07:36.820
It automatically enrolls people regardless of whether they choose to opt in or not.
00:07:41.540
I'm fulfilling the legacy of Barack Obama, and you're not.
00:07:48.780
That's actually a solid line by Biden at the end.
00:07:51.460
The one thing I did take out of this debate is that Julian Castro is a jerk.
00:08:00.380
I mean, here's a guy who is a – he's a zilch in the world.
00:08:06.580
And he is plucked by Obama Biden into a prime role in the administration for no reason other than to improve his prospects at future election.
00:08:23.180
He tries to go after Biden because he's just trying to become the vice president under Warren.
00:08:36.280
When he wanted to be vice president, he was the president's attack dog.
00:08:40.420
And that is what he's doing for Warren right now.
00:08:43.260
But he – I mean, just the character of a person who does that is –
00:08:47.960
But is it legitimate to point out, wait a minute, you just – are you forgetting?
00:08:55.580
I think Biden was right on the point, wasn't he?
00:08:58.860
I mean, it was – we'll have to go back and listen to the audio.
00:09:01.620
I'd have to have actually not been an apparent teacher.
00:09:08.180
I remember this because it was a three-yard run.
00:09:25.000
How – Kevin, how was it in the debate hall itself?
00:09:34.840
All the media, for the most part, were in a gymnasium that was like right around the corner.
00:09:40.060
And it actually worked out in a pretty cool way because I was able to change the way the media reacted to what was going on in the auditorium.
00:09:53.140
There were a few moments like when Yang's saying about – when he said, I'm Asian, so I know a lot of doctors.
00:10:12.700
Because I've seen a lot of criticism on that one saying that he was heightening stereotypes.
00:10:19.600
It's like if you're going to have a stereotype, being a doctor is not the worst one.
00:10:26.900
That just coming from a guy who's got a bunch of good-looking kids and very successful and uber smart.
00:10:41.080
I think at the end of the day, Biden was the – Biden was the winner of that debate.
00:10:47.800
Even with all of the – I mean, doesn't he look like maybe he doesn't have a grip on at least his –
00:11:02.580
And there was – there were a few moments during his gas when there was like chatter through the room.
00:11:12.540
All you could hear after that was like everybody in the room was like, oh, why is he talking about record players?
00:11:19.720
It's interesting with Biden in that he has a stamina issue, I would say, where he was good for the first half hour or so.
00:11:30.480
And that's the part that most people watch, number one.
00:11:32.740
You know, I'm not sure that that's a good thing, though, for the president.
00:11:38.760
Maybe they'll do less damage if he's only there for 30 minutes a day.
00:11:43.460
It could be an upside of Biden from our perspective.
00:11:45.760
But I think like he winds up the longer these things go, he can't avoid the go to Joe30330.com.
00:11:56.320
And he just can't – he eventually will get himself caught in sort of that, you know, word barrage that he can't sort out.
00:12:02.940
But at the beginning, he was relatively focused and did okay.
00:12:06.320
And I don't think – did you – I didn't get the idea that there was a huge loser or winner.
00:12:16.260
I think Biden got lucky that Castro obviously drank too much Red Bull before the debate and was just so salty.
00:12:39.000
Was he right, Kevin, about – was he right about the – you just said that you'd have to sign up?
00:12:55.060
If you're going to attack someone like that, at least have the facts correct.
00:12:58.580
I mean, that's a bad attack to launch if you're not right.
00:13:03.060
The – what was anyone's reaction to Biden saying, hey, we didn't put kids in cages?
00:13:09.600
See, I didn't – I didn't get a reaction out of that at all.
00:13:20.940
Every time Klobuchar spoke, the whole media room was like, oh, thank God, we have a break now.
00:13:27.360
So they would just, like, chat with their neighbors.
00:13:33.660
They did not care about anything she said at all.
00:13:37.640
That's interesting, too, because she had a pretty good debate.
00:13:43.120
She had some canned lies, like the Houston we have a problem thing.
00:13:47.080
Just, like, people – the whole room was like, oh, come on.
00:13:58.600
I mean, you could tell – and this was the thing with Castro.
00:14:02.560
Whether he had a senior moment or not, he was going to say, have you forgotten what you said two minutes ago?
00:14:12.640
He blew that opportunity, and he did it in a way that now everybody hates him, which they should, because he just seems like a jerk.
00:14:20.240
How about the reaction with Elizabeth Warren from the press?
00:14:25.340
I mean, they seem to really like her, which I still don't completely understand myself.
00:14:35.020
He's a writer for glenbeck.com and also theblaze.com.
00:14:46.020
So after the debates, all the candidates went over to the media center.
00:14:52.200
All the candidates, except for Biden, by the way, for whatever reason.
00:14:55.600
But it was a good gauge of who the media are really, really kind of obsessed with, or a big fan of, because they would follow around.
00:15:10.160
They would basically mob the candidates who they really liked.
00:15:13.200
And they were definitely following Warren around.
00:15:18.400
And they were following Harris around, which surprised me, because every time she spoke, the whole room just completely cringed.
00:15:31.980
I mean, she's struggling to recapture her magic from debate one.
00:15:36.120
And she seems to go into these things with these ideas.
00:15:45.600
Kevin had sent some pictures, and there were reporters all over her.
00:15:52.060
I mean, there's a good strategic argument to say Biden doesn't have to do anything to win this nomination.
00:15:57.760
So he comes out, and he has a good first half hour and kind of sits back.
00:16:01.760
And, you know, hopefully people tuned out by the time he started talking about record players.
00:16:05.700
And then why go to the spin room, where you might have another bad moment, right?
00:16:12.460
He's already winning by, you know, 10 points or 8 points or 15 points, depending on the poll.
00:16:22.920
I want to hear the press room reaction to this.
00:16:27.020
The high impact, high velocity round, when it hits your body, shreds everything inside of your body,
00:16:33.200
because it was designed to do that, so that you would bleed to death on a battlefield
00:16:36.900
and not be able to get up and kill one of our soldiers.
00:16:39.520
When we see that being used against children, and in Odessa,
00:16:44.420
I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15.
00:16:48.760
And that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour
00:16:52.120
because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa, in Midland.
00:16:56.600
There weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time.
00:16:59.660
Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.
00:17:03.200
We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.
00:17:08.400
You know, what an interesting trick he did, a shell game of, look at these bullets.
00:17:15.480
And they bled to death because there weren't enough ambulances.
00:17:26.860
And I think the reason why is because they could see what he was getting at.
00:17:34.180
And it wasn't really, there was no surprise there.
00:17:39.600
It was a surprise, however, that no one took the middle ground on guns last night.
00:17:59.720
And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:18:03.880
His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:18:07.780
Bill O'Reilly, let's start first of all by reminding you that his new book,
00:18:12.340
The United States of Trump, is just a few days away.
00:18:20.060
And it's how the president really sees America.
00:18:25.280
I do expect some sort of a kickback for all of this.
00:18:28.780
It's The United States of Trump by Bill O'Reilly.
00:18:32.700
Bill, let's talk about the amazing debate last night.
00:18:46.400
Because I don't think I have ever seen anything like it on a couple of fronts.
00:18:52.860
First of all, there wasn't a single candidate that said,
00:18:59.740
They all now are just saying, Yeah, we're going to come take your guns.
00:19:02.720
And we don't have a problem saying we're going to come take your guns.
00:19:06.400
I've never seen a candidate who is leading the polls who something medically is truly wrong with him.
00:19:18.600
And I think it's the aneurysms that he has had.
00:19:21.800
He just does not have a command of the language anymore.
00:19:29.320
And it's it's a little terrifying in a world where you have to be, you know, on your game more than 30 minutes a day.
00:19:44.260
I thought he had a pretty eloquent closing statement, although there was nobody left to watch.
00:19:49.420
Everybody had passed out long before that about the trials in his life and that purpose.
00:19:59.260
So I don't think he's totally, you know, Bill, Bill, I'm in home yet.
00:20:08.980
Stu, give me the list of what is important to the Democratic voters today.
00:20:14.920
When you look at that, you ask them to rank what's what's really important to them today.
00:20:21.680
Yeah, number one by a wide margin is ability to beat Donald Trump.
00:20:29.460
Thirty nine point six percent of voters said the top priority was beating Donald Trump.
00:20:38.220
And that's significant because the second place is health care at nine point nine percent.
00:20:43.580
Third, the economy at eight percent wealth and income inequality, eight percent climate change,
00:20:48.120
seven percent, gun policy, four percent, racism, three percent.
00:20:53.820
I mean, listen, their message is all geared in the seven to five percent.
00:20:59.340
And the reason why Biden is doing well is because people just think that he'll do well against Donald Trump.
00:21:11.560
That's why the press is not going to run on a Barack Obama nostalgia tour that that's clear last night that Biden didn't really have any solution to any problems.
00:21:24.080
And he was the only one who basically said that Beto O'Rourke and the rest of them were violating the Constitution.
00:21:33.940
You're not going to be able to seize anything by executive order.
00:21:41.300
That seemed to startle Mr. O'Rourke, who just got through blaming the massacre in El Paso on President Trump.
00:21:52.660
That I guess maybe the clown in that movie you want to go see.
00:22:01.300
It was just, come on, is this a burlesque skit?
00:22:09.300
I mean, the guy doesn't have any grasp of how the country runs.
00:22:17.080
And Biden actually said that and got jeered for doing it.
00:22:20.220
So basically how I see this thing is it was a very good night for Donald Trump.
00:22:27.940
OK, because even though the president continues to shoot himself in every toe and finger he has by his lack of self-discipline, the alternative to moderate Americans.
00:22:45.380
How do you, anyone who says anything like that, Donald Trump says, you're a loser.
00:22:56.320
And yet you are invited to write a book about him.
00:23:08.480
Do you think if I said those words and only those words, he would say, yeah, you want to write a book?
00:23:20.060
I was writing a book whether I was on Air Force One or not.
00:23:22.660
I know that, but usually you'd write a book after saying something like that and he'd be like, he's a hack.
00:23:37.140
I'm saying the truth about the president of the United States.
00:23:40.080
I'm not accusing him of doing anything heinous.
00:23:43.340
I'm saying he lacks self-discipline when somebody tees him off.
00:24:02.580
But let's get back to he was the big winner last night.
00:24:06.120
So what you have is you've got a field of Democrats who basically are looking at the camera and saying, I'm going to spend trillions of dollars.
00:24:19.040
Even though we have a $22 trillion debt right now, I'm going to add maybe $30 trillion more to save your life from climate change.
00:24:31.000
And then Rod Serling goes, you're traveling in another dimension.
00:24:38.080
And I'm saying to myself, we're true, which it isn't.
00:24:44.660
We're not dying in 10 or 20 or 30 years unless we have to listen to Beto O'Rourke every day.
00:24:55.520
So tell me about what your thoughts are on Elizabeth Warren.
00:25:07.440
And she's dangerous because she comes across as a hip granny.
00:25:16.060
And then kids go, oh, let's go trick-or-treating to Mrs. Warren's house.
00:25:29.940
This is a woman who does not respect private property.
00:25:36.520
Now, twice last night, she was asked direct questions.
00:25:46.060
If a person overstayed his or her visa in the United States, what would you do?
00:25:53.640
Warren didn't even come close to answering the question.
00:25:57.140
Then the next question, and I don't know what's wrong.
00:26:02.540
Would you raise taxes on American middle-class families to pay for your massive health care giveaway?
00:26:14.600
Here's Stephanopoulos asking her that and her answer.
00:26:21.980
You said middle-class families are going to pay less.
00:26:23.800
But will middle-class taxes go up to pay for the program?
00:26:27.080
I know you believe that the deductibles and the premiums will go down.
00:26:39.940
And understand, families are paying for their health care today.
00:26:43.900
Families pay every time an insurance company says, sorry, you can't see that specialist.
00:26:48.400
Every time an insurance company says, sorry, that doctor is out of network.
00:26:59.060
They don't get a prescription filled because they can't pay for it.
00:27:02.220
They don't have a lump checked out because they can't afford the co-pay.
00:27:06.160
What we're talking about here is what's going to happen in families' pockets, what's going
00:27:16.580
Costs are going to go up for wealthier individuals and costs are going to go up for giant corporations.
00:27:22.980
But for hardworking families across this country, costs are going to go down and that's how
00:27:28.760
it should work under Medicare for all in our health care.
00:27:32.880
She didn't say she didn't say that taxes wouldn't go up.
00:27:38.680
But that's what Barack Obama said, that, you know, this this system of Obamacare would would
00:27:43.740
reduce things by twenty five hundred dollars for the average family, which is a total and
00:27:52.200
OK, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and all the rest of the Mary Socialist band somehow
00:27:59.720
believe that they can go into corporate America and demand 40 to 50 percent of their profits
00:28:13.220
What would happen would be all of those corporations would leave the country.
00:28:19.160
leave the country and set up overseas just as they had under Barack Obama.
00:28:26.720
Trump brought them back by cutting the corporate income rates.
00:28:33.340
People like me and you, Beck, that have assets.
00:28:38.320
I don't I'm not going to sit here and allow Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders to seize my private
00:28:55.060
Between corporations and affluent Americans would lead to a depression in this country.
00:29:08.980
Hold that thought for a minute, because I want to I want to build on that and get your
00:29:20.400
A depression will happen if socialists come in and start to say we're going to tax you
00:29:27.620
to death and we're going to take the wealth that you have already been taxed on and double
00:29:34.760
We're going to move from a free market to a controlled and planned economy.
00:29:42.080
OK, Bill, I want to ask you a series of questions here and then I'll get to my theory and then
00:29:55.500
I mean, if it really goes south for him, the Democrats have two issues that resonate.
00:30:02.140
The health care that we just discussed and the guns that you just discussed.
00:30:07.300
Both are attractive to a fairly large segment of the American population.
00:30:14.460
Trump can get around that if the economy is robust, because the Republicans really haven't
00:30:26.880
On the gun front, I do expect they'll make a few attempts to control maniacs from getting
00:30:36.580
But it'll take a while and it's you know, it's not it's there's nothing there's nothing
00:30:42.040
exciting except we are freeing the American people and the American people are doing better
00:30:50.800
Lowest unemployment rate for blacks in history.
00:30:55.480
Yes, but also Donald Trump is a big opportunity now to go out and stop with the small ball and
00:31:06.800
go to the big picture and say, look, your freedom is important to me, the president.
00:31:15.540
And if you look at what this Democratic Party really wants, it's an erosion of freedom on
00:31:24.240
I just have a new slogan on Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:31:29.540
I've changed it to fight for your freedom because the far left in this country, which includes
00:31:35.820
90 percent of the media, wants to erode personal freedoms, not only guns, but on every level,
00:31:44.920
And if Trump can get that across, he'll be reelected.
00:31:50.880
OK, so I just want to get a yes or no, really yes or no question.
00:31:55.460
Trump will have a very difficult time if the economy tanks.
00:32:02.420
There is a load of investment coming from overseas right now.
00:32:06.580
Money is pounding into our Treasury and also into Wall Street because we're the only place
00:32:17.180
Not the only place, but one of the few places on Earth where you can make money is America.
00:32:21.960
Do you agree that companies and the banks, if somebody says, I'm going to change the free
00:32:29.640
market system to more of a planned economy and, oh, by the way, I'm going to break up all
00:32:34.280
these banks, that would cause a significant impact on what those companies do with their money.
00:32:44.380
And if they thought that person might win, that they would go into, you know, kind of
00:32:51.460
a protection position, which would not be good for the stocks and companies.
00:32:58.420
Flight of capital and hoarding of profits will lead to unemployment tripling.
00:33:06.240
So, don't the Democrats have a reason to hire somebody?
00:33:13.560
I mean, you want to talk about a short walk or a long walk on a short pier to socialism
00:33:24.300
Whoever that person is, Elizabeth Warren is an easier candidate perhaps to defeat, but
00:33:33.880
she will spook the markets and companies so much that it could really impact the economy,
00:33:40.940
which would really hurt Donald Trump, because she'll blame it on him, she'll blame it on
00:33:46.000
capitalism and everything else, when indeed it would be a reaction to her.
00:33:56.240
I think that the smart money will say she has no chance she's George McGovern.
00:34:05.580
Well, I know Aunt Mimi will vote for her, but I don't know too many other people who actually
00:34:10.720
are working for a living that are supporting Elizabeth Warren.
00:34:15.100
I really, I mean, outside of Cambridge, Massachusetts and Beverly Hills, California, the regular folks,
00:34:40.720
Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat
00:34:46.160
His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:35:09.300
Gabrielle is in Pennsylvania, and Gabrielle, you're a student, right?
00:35:14.780
I just graduated, sir, from Grove City College.
00:35:18.260
And you're in Pennsylvania, and what do you want to do with your life again?
00:35:22.220
Well, I am trying to create a career in media and political education.
00:35:28.660
So I want to, although I want to pursue graduate study, I currently am the editor-in-chief of
00:35:34.700
the Unvarnished blog, where I'm trying to share some strong and solid political analysis
00:35:43.320
So take a guess, Stu, which one of these gave us one sheet of analysis, and the other one
00:35:50.260
gave me four pages of very comprehensive notes, including a grading system in four different
00:35:58.900
categories for each of them, and a three-page editorial.
00:36:16.560
And kids, I just want you to know, this is the way the world works.
00:36:32.000
Okay, so let me go back and forth with both of you.
00:36:34.380
First of all, was there a winner in your eyes if you were a Democrat watching this?
00:36:42.420
Let's start with Darren, and then it'll go to you, Gabrielle.
00:36:55.200
However, the person who I thought lost the least was Elizabeth Warren.
00:37:04.880
Tell me your analysis, starting with Darren, on Biden last night.
00:37:09.180
Other than the one comment where he kind of confused me about the record player and everything,
00:37:18.460
I thought he, throughout pretty much the whole night, he had really good energy, good passion,
00:37:23.780
and he seemed to do a lot better when responding to attacks directly to him.
00:37:35.540
I do not believe he handles himself well under the attacks from Julian Castro.
00:37:41.380
I think he made at least one blunder every time he spoke.
00:37:47.060
And I also didn't appreciate how when the moderators tried to cut him off, everybody else on the stage
00:37:53.780
continued with their point and finished their thought where Biden just abruptly ended.
00:37:59.860
So do any, do either of you think that his, and I don't say this, I say this with the knowledge
00:38:10.660
One, they did not think he'd be able to speak again, and it's happened recently.
00:38:15.780
They had to cut his head open, and they didn't think he would have the ability to speak.
00:38:22.600
I think he's had an aneurysm, and it has affected his speech center.
00:38:26.140
Would either of you think that he's close, if he was in your family, to the family saying,
00:38:33.480
hey, Grandpa, we've got to take the keys from you on the car?
00:38:40.700
I would, maybe I just, I have it just kind of baked into his personality that, you know,
00:38:47.600
being his age, that's the way it's going to be.
00:38:57.400
I think Joe Biden is the lovable grandpa of the bunch, and that it would be, hey, Grandpa,
00:39:04.320
let me drive you instead of you driving yourself.
00:39:07.660
I don't think he's really capable of handling himself any longer in the policy space.
00:39:13.220
Okay, so tell me about, let's go to Kamala Harris.
00:39:18.720
She, way too many zingers, be it against Trump or just in general, but she did direct
00:39:28.460
her attacks more so specifically at Trump, as opposed to the rest of the Democratic field.
00:39:38.060
I think, I agree with Darren that she did make herself very strongly anti-Trump.
00:39:44.280
However, I don't think she did a decent enough job in defining herself as what she is for.
00:39:50.180
All the other candidates seemed to define their platforms, but where Harris, it just made her
00:39:59.920
So, let me go to the attack on Biden and your reaction to this attack from Julian Castro.
00:40:15.600
That's a big difference, because Barack Obama's vision was not to leave 10 million people uncovered.
00:40:20.920
He wanted every single person in this country covered.
00:40:31.640
You just said two minutes ago that they would have to buy in.
00:40:37.060
If she qualifies for Medicaid, she'll automatically be in for it.
00:40:41.260
Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?
00:40:44.160
I mean, I can't believe that you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in, and now you're
00:41:01.600
Did not make him come off very good, making Biden enemy number one.
00:41:06.800
And let me go to another crowd pleaser, if you will.
00:41:10.860
Uh, let's go to Beto, where Beto was talking about, you know, confiscation of guns.
00:41:19.720
The high impact, high velocity round when it hits your body shreds everything inside of
00:41:25.580
your body because it was designed to do that so that you would bleed to death on a battlefield
00:41:29.640
and not be able to get up and kill one of our soldiers.
00:41:32.220
When we see that being used against children, and in Odessa, I met the mother of a 15-year-old
00:41:39.060
girl who was shot by an AR-15, and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course
00:41:44.200
of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa, in Midland.
00:41:49.360
There weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time.
00:41:52.440
Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.
00:41:55.840
We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.
00:42:04.040
I just thought it was, uh, just red meat throwing it out there for everybody.
00:42:12.340
I don't think he would be able to do it initially, but I think that's just his main focus, his
00:42:17.840
main point for the whole night, and just kind of threw that out there.
00:42:20.420
How do you think the, there wasn't a single person really on the stage that, um, disagreed
00:42:28.560
No, nobody was the, you know, reasonable Democrat saying, hey, you know, I'm a member of the
00:42:33.920
NRA, or my dad was, and there was no, there was no happy gun talk that usually, um, preceded
00:42:44.000
Nobody was saying, we're not going to come for your guns.
00:42:50.420
Uh, I just think they're, you know, just the Overton window.
00:42:54.540
Just keep going further and further and take a little bit, uh, progressively.
00:43:00.580
Well, I think it was very interesting that when it was in response to Kamala Harris's
00:43:07.040
decision to support a mandatory buyback of assault weapons by, via executive order, Biden
00:43:15.860
came out saying, you can't do that constitutionally.
00:43:18.880
And it was very interesting to see how quickly he was shut down, not only by the other candidates,
00:43:25.220
I think that speaks just to the radicalism of the entire Democratic Party right now.
00:43:34.560
Is there, is there anyone, uh, that you saw last night and you had a gun to your head and
00:43:45.420
Who do you think could do the least amount of damage?
00:43:58.540
Um, I mean, I definitely don't agree with all of his policies, but I think it would be
00:44:14.480
However, he seemed definitely to be the only candidate on that stage who supported any type
00:44:19.560
of entrepreneurial values, any type of capitalist values.
00:44:22.720
You could see that incorporated into a variety of elements of his platform.
00:44:27.260
So as a capitalist, I would have to vote Andrew Yang.
00:44:31.120
I will tell you, Andrew Yang, they laughed at him on his closing, uh, where he was saying,
00:44:36.060
I'm going to give a thousand dollars a month to 12 people.
00:44:39.420
Uh, and, uh, and, and if you think you can control your life better, uh, tell me why you
00:44:46.260
think this thousand dollars and what he's doing is he's coming up with universal
00:44:52.420
They test it over and over and over again, and it just doesn't work.
00:44:59.240
And what he was saying was really kind of good.
00:45:06.640
Uh, while he was touting universal basic income, he was saying, we've got to get this
00:45:27.980
Ideologically, I would agree with Darren that Bernie Sanders is the worst.
00:45:31.360
However, in terms of who has the actual chance to win, I think Elizabeth Warren is, is the
00:45:40.500
However, she is in a package that can appeal to a large section of the American public.
00:45:51.080
Um, I, do we have the picture of, of Gabrielle's, um, of Gabrielle's campaign headquarters?
00:46:13.280
Hey, can we post your, uh, notes and stuff on glenbeck.com?
