The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Kirstie Alley & Jason Buttrill ｜ 11⧸3⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hello, America. Welcome to the podcast. It is Election Day, and we start out on our podcast strong.

00:00:08.940 What is this election all about? Then we just talk about the polls, the poll numbers.

00:00:14.740 We check in with Elijah Schaefer, who is up in Washington, D.C., where they're expecting trouble.

00:00:20.360 He showed us, if you were watching on Blaze TV, he showed us the actual fence around the White House,

00:00:27.600 and it is amazing. I've never seen anything like it in America.

00:00:33.360 It's like a detention center, kind of prison gate, all around the White House.

00:00:39.020 They're expecting trouble. We have you covered on our coverage tonight on Blaze TV.

00:00:43.940 If you're not a subscriber, you don't want to miss this.

00:00:46.860 Karl Marx and George Washington will be fighting over which one gets into the coffin.

00:00:51.500 I have one that I'm rooting for to get in the coffin, but we'll see how the voters go.

00:00:55.740 And we'll have coverage from everybody. Dave Rubin, Megan Kelly, Dinesh D'Souza, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles,

00:01:05.000 Elijah Schaefer, Chad Prather, Sarah Gonzalez, Steve Dace.

00:01:09.500 Stu is going to be doing all of the numbers and calling the election for us, and I'm hosting it tonight.

00:01:39.260 We'll see you tonight.

00:01:39.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:54.960 Imagine if you were born in 1900.

00:01:58.160 When you're 14, World War I begins.

00:02:01.380 It ends when you're 18 with 20 million deaths, 21 million wounded.

00:02:10.120 And before you can even make sense of that.

00:02:14.620 You're 18 years old and a third of the world's population are infected with the Spanish flu and 50 million people die.

00:02:23.260 675,000 deaths in the United States.

00:02:28.860 And through the grace of God, you come out alive and free.

00:02:32.800 You're now 20 years old.

00:02:36.340 You have good, you know, maybe a good nine years, maybe.

00:02:40.600 And then the global economy collapses.

00:02:43.260 And the beginning of the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange.

00:02:46.920 Half of America's banks fail.

00:02:49.420 Your parents most likely lost everything.

00:02:53.760 You could have been rich.

00:02:55.400 Now you're poor.

00:02:57.260 Unemployment now reaches 20%.

00:03:00.420 And for 10 years, your world is thrust into a deep depression.

00:03:10.540 When you're 33, the Nazis rise to power. 0.90

00:03:15.300 By the time you're 39, World War II begins.

00:03:19.420 Six years later, you're 45 and the Holocaust, you just find out, has killed 6 million Jews. 0.83

00:03:27.140 And 60 million people have died around the world.

00:03:31.000 Some fighting for freedom.

00:03:32.820 Some fighting for domination.

00:03:36.140 Think of this.

00:03:38.580 When you're 52, the Korean War begins.

00:03:42.560 64, it's the Vietnam War.

00:03:46.060 That doesn't end until you're 75.

00:03:49.420 What was life like for the last generation?

00:03:58.080 A man or woman who was born in the year 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult their life is right now.

00:04:07.200 Really?

00:04:08.360 Really?

00:04:08.880 I don't think we have any concept how difficult their life was.

00:04:11.640 A 25-year-old born in 1995 thinks it's the end of the world when his Amazon package takes more than three days to arrive.

00:04:20.240 Or when he doesn't get more than 15 likes for a photo posted on Facebook or Instagram.

00:04:25.320 Some of us stop talking to friends or family just because they're not going to vote the way we think they should.

00:04:34.920 Now, this isn't to say that our time isn't fraught with trials and tribulations.

00:04:42.300 It is.

00:04:42.880 The situation is serious today.

00:04:45.660 It's election day in America.

00:04:47.360 Those who have yearned to be free, those who look to America to set the standard, we oftentimes dismiss.

00:04:57.960 But those who are imprisoned, those who are enslaved, those who really, truly understand the rights of man, they're on edge today.

00:05:07.460 Humanity has survived dire consequences.

00:05:14.280 Humanity has never lost the joy of living.

00:05:19.660 Americans never really lost their goodness or their innocence.

00:05:27.200 We will if we give up on our neighbor.

00:05:32.240 We will if you give up on yourself.

00:05:37.460 If you think that this is just too much, come what may, this is too much.

00:05:44.940 How unlikely is it?

00:05:47.620 How strange or almost inconceivable that all of this is coming down to us, our generation.

00:06:00.400 Did they feel that way in World War II?

00:06:03.280 That man's freedom was at stake.

00:06:09.020 It was easier because you got, you know, they had guys dressed up, you know, in black uniforms with red armbands.

00:06:16.100 Well, those same people were marching in the streets here in America.

00:06:20.920 Those same people, it was accepted in New York and New Jersey.

00:06:27.880 They had huge, huge towns full of Nazis. 0.93

00:06:32.800 It was okay.

00:06:36.620 See, the line was blurred for them back then as well.

00:06:40.200 But it's coming down to us.

00:06:45.380 You know, they say the founders, you know, they didn't see this coming.

00:06:49.360 They didn't see bazookas.

00:06:50.920 Yeah, well, you know another thing they didn't see?

00:06:53.400 That their glorious, sacred Declaration of Independence and Constitution would come down between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

00:07:04.200 Think of that.

00:07:10.940 Today is the day that this generation of Americans vote and not for president or Senate.

00:07:18.980 Not against one side or the other, but for something.

00:07:26.500 How many Biden supporters or voters are voting against Donald Trump and they are failing to see what's behind their side?

00:07:37.220 Because they their side is I can't take him anymore.

00:07:40.920 That's how they see it.

00:07:42.200 We're not voting for president or Senate today, and we're not voting against anything.

00:07:50.740 We are voting for something, whether or not the American experiment should continue.

00:07:57.620 Or a new form of economics and rule should be found.

00:08:04.500 Our vote is one of two things, a vote as a declaration of independence or a surrender, a declaration of dependence.

00:08:19.860 That man can't rule himself.

00:08:22.960 He needs overlords and Ivy League intellectuals.

00:08:27.360 They'll make the decisions for us.

00:08:29.480 A declaration that the free market enslaves, not frees people.

00:08:34.500 That our traditions, our flag, our anthem.

00:08:39.520 They're all lies that have literally killed and must be erased.

00:08:45.880 That the traditional nuclear family just promotes hatred, misogyny, has to be destroyed.

00:08:52.420 And our children, they don't belong to the parents.

00:08:55.160 While half of America is too lacking in basic critical thinking skills, and that's the only reason why anyone could support Donald Trump, the intellectuals will say.

00:09:09.580 Our children, our children possess the thinking skills to decide to take hormones and forever alter their sex and their lives at eight years old. 0.64

00:09:25.000 And anybody who disagrees needs to be silent.

00:09:31.400 If you want to argue that no men cannot have periods.

00:09:41.380 You have to be silent.

00:09:42.920 The other side makes the case that women are unique and powerful, but men can be women, too.

00:09:50.760 The choice we make today is one to question with boldness, even the very existence of God.

00:10:02.980 For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

00:10:08.740 To debate it out in the strongest of terms in the public square.

00:10:15.800 To not be afraid of the truth.

00:10:18.820 To not be afraid of exposure.

00:10:23.720 To not silence anyone else.

00:10:30.900 Or to believe without question.

00:10:33.820 To believe without debate, because the debate is over.

00:10:36.400 To believe without dissent.

00:10:44.960 To believe the main thesis that the entire American story can only be told through the lens of racism, bigotry, and hatred.

00:10:57.320 I reject that.

00:10:58.820 How unlikely is it that it comes down to us?

00:11:06.880 I'm telling you, it's not unlikely at all.

00:11:15.060 I'm telling you, you were preserved and born in this country at this time.

00:11:20.760 You were preserved for this time.

00:11:24.440 Because we've already fought this battle before.

00:11:26.580 And if you just will not fold in to the new wisdom of the world.

00:11:41.920 We will fight this and remain standing.

00:11:44.940 How unlikely is it that the man, the person that is standing between the Constitution of the United States and Marxism, is Donald Trump?

00:11:59.020 How unlikely is it that the man standing between liberty and tyranny, is Donald Trump?

00:12:07.200 How unlikely is it that the man standing strong for the values that we built in America, the values, is Donald Trump?

00:12:21.440 That's the way many people will want to look at this.

00:12:26.200 But he's not standing alone.

00:12:33.040 He's just one man standing.

00:12:35.080 He happens to be at the point of the spear, but he's one man standing.

00:12:39.100 Millions of us are standing with him.

00:12:41.580 Millions that don't maybe even like him.

00:12:44.020 Don't think that he's healthy for the way he tweets and everything else.

00:12:48.980 Some people who love him.

00:12:50.400 But together with our differences, we're coming together and standing.

00:12:56.880 Not for him.

00:13:01.220 Standing for the country.

00:13:03.220 You see, we're not a nation divided.

00:13:07.920 You're not required to like the president.

00:13:10.920 You're not required to do anything about the president other than vote for one.

00:13:18.780 That you think will preserve and protect the United States of America, our traditions.

00:13:28.740 All the good things, not shoving the bad things away.

00:13:32.880 There's nothing wrong with talking about the truth of American history that is bloody and gory and awful.

00:13:40.100 I'll talk about that, but I also want to discuss all the great things that this country did.

00:13:44.900 But your choice today is between that, not a rosy picture of America that is always right. 0.89

00:13:53.640 I think everybody can admit, man, we have really screwed things up from time to time.

00:13:58.520 We're doing it now.

00:13:59.580 But if you make the choice to go left, you must forget all of the things this country has done right.

00:14:16.000 You must condemn our traditions.

00:14:18.860 You must condemn our history.

00:14:21.540 You must condemn our founders and our Declaration of Independence.

00:14:24.880 That's why millions are standing.

00:14:32.220 Many of us are united in our love for country and the principles on which it was founded.

00:14:40.420 Look how many people came together at Trump rallies to support freedom and the American ideals.

00:14:44.780 They say 40 to 50 percent of that audience in some places in Pennsylvania were Democrats.

00:14:53.120 This is not a cult of personality that attracts millions of our fellow citizens,

00:14:57.740 even though that's what the media and the left would like you to believe.

00:15:01.080 It's not a cult at all.

00:15:03.580 It's a bond of liberty.

00:15:05.160 It's a declaration of independence.

00:15:09.400 It's a vote of hope.

00:15:11.840 It's a pledge of our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

00:15:15.860 Don't get me wrong.

00:15:18.500 What comes today, tomorrow, and the days ahead scares the hell out of me.

00:15:23.900 I don't know which way this election is going to go.

00:15:26.260 But I'm inspired by what I see.

00:15:33.560 And I remember who we are.

00:15:37.140 The left can't stop the goodness of America.

00:15:39.360 They can try.

00:15:40.420 They can put us all in lockdowns.

00:15:42.360 But we'll use that time to reconnect with our families and remind ourselves what we value most.

00:15:47.460 They can call us racist.

00:15:49.400 And we'll look deep into our hearts and the hearts of our fellow men and search for justice and mercy.

00:15:54.780 They can encourage violence in our streets.

00:15:58.000 But we will not give in to mob rule.

00:16:00.600 We will stand up with the strength of kindness.

00:16:05.400 You can't put a lid on America.

00:16:07.940 You can rewrite our history.

00:16:10.220 But we will study and teach the truth and keep it alive.

00:16:15.100 Even if we have to do it in our basements quietly.

00:16:20.480 They can pretend the climate is going to destroy the earth.

00:16:23.260 But we still see the spacious skies and the amber waves of grain.

00:16:28.100 They can pretend that Marxism leads to equality.

00:16:31.400 But we will never deny what we know to be true after failed experiment after failed experiment.

00:16:38.820 Marxism only leads to slavery and destruction.

00:16:42.180 If America votes to try a new way today, that's fine.

00:16:53.100 But the American dream will go on.

00:16:56.360 They can't stop America because you can't put a lid on hopes and dreams and people.

00:17:01.920 You can't put a lid on innovation and entrepreneurship, on the God-given right of free agency.

00:17:08.380 You can't stop America because we won't let you. 0.90

00:17:14.940 They can't put us in the basement like they do with Joe.

00:17:18.260 We're not sleeping.

00:17:20.840 America is wide awake.

00:17:23.160 And today, we're voting.

00:17:27.840 Not for a president.

00:17:30.020 Not for the Senate.

00:17:34.480 But for an America we know still lives.

00:17:39.800 If you didn't already know this, it is time to realize that AARP is not your friend.

00:17:45.080 More importantly, and a lot of people don't know this either, it's not the only choice you have.

00:17:49.100 May I suggest you check out AMAC.

00:17:52.140 AMAC stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens.

00:17:56.760 Better yet, it stands for your values, your principles.

00:18:01.460 It's not only a better choice than AARP, it's the best choice.

00:18:05.040 When you get AMAC, you're going to get discounts on your car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance,

00:18:09.160 dental plans, even cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have.

00:18:12.620 And they have so many other benefits that you should check into.

00:18:15.260 But the real secret here is you belong to an organization that fights for your values

00:18:19.740 and stands up for your God-given freedoms.

00:18:21.800 Things like freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.

00:18:24.360 Stand with AMAC as they stand and fight the good fight for all of us.

00:18:28.500 Become a member today.

00:18:29.460 The benefits are great, but the cause is greater.

00:18:32.220 Join now at amac.us slash beck.

00:18:34.820 That's amac.us slash beck.

00:18:37.080 AMAC is better, better for you, better for America.

00:18:42.020 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:45.260 Jason Buttrell, who has been doing our look into the left, the hard left,

00:18:57.360 and the things that they have planned for us today.

00:19:00.260 Welcome to the program, Jason.

00:19:01.480 How are you?

00:19:02.460 Thanks, Glenn.

00:19:02.920 Doing well.

00:19:03.400 Yeah.

00:19:03.780 So I read your briefing this morning, and it was very, very thorough.

00:19:08.320 I had it all ready, but my computers have gone down.

00:19:11.220 So give me, in a nutshell, which cities are really targeted today?

00:19:20.500 Most of the cities that are most heavily targeted are on the coast.

00:19:23.640 Los Angeles, California areas, they're heavily, heavily targeted.

00:19:27.540 East Coast, heavily, heavily targeted.

00:19:29.480 All around Washington, D.C.

00:19:30.980 I just saw your hit with Elijah.

00:19:32.680 I'm envious, actually, because he's about to witness something tonight, I think, which is going to be historic from all of these different groups.

00:19:38.960 And we can do a rundown of those.

00:19:40.680 But I want to – well, actually, one of the groups, Protect the Results, they're – and I really encourage everyone listening right now to go to protecttheresults.com,

00:19:49.380 because they have an interactive map that you can look up at all of their protests that they have scheduled all over the country.

00:19:55.740 By my account now, it's over 200 protests.

00:19:59.080 But you can go.

00:19:59.920 You can see if your city, the city of Dallas that we're in, it is one of those that is targeted, and we might see some activity.

00:20:08.280 You've pointed out that one of the linchpins for these protests to kick off is – and this is why we were trying to tell the Trump administration to look at this – is if they say certain things.

00:20:19.520 One of the things is if Trump declares victory on election night, which he's probably going to do.

00:20:25.580 I think he's said as much that he's going to do.

00:20:27.540 But if he is got – looks like he's going to win if he declares victory, then that's the key for them to kick off these protests.

00:20:34.680 But you can go to protecttheresults.com, and you can look up all those different locations.

00:20:38.560 They are – they're everywhere.

00:20:40.600 And this is so people know who these groups are.

00:20:44.080 Who's funding Protect the Results?

00:20:46.260 Where – you know, who are they?

00:20:48.220 What do they believe in?

00:20:50.240 It's exactly what – the people funding this is exactly who you would expect.

00:20:55.460 Protect the Results has a partner list that is absolutely insane.

00:20:59.140 It's well over 80 different partners, and you can go on their website and look at them.

00:21:03.180 They're not even trying to hide it.

00:21:03.980 It's basically every leftist group in the country and union to include SEIU and a ton of others.

00:21:10.000 Democratic Socialists of America is also one of their big partners, so that kind of tells you they're all in cahoots.

00:21:16.040 Establishment Democrats, socialists, they're all in this together.

00:21:19.580 It's ran by two activist groups.

00:21:21.340 One's called Stand Up America, and another one's called Indivisible.

00:21:24.940 And we've talked about and you've talked about Indivisible a lot.

00:21:27.760 They have ties to – who else would you expect?

00:21:30.520 But George Soros and Democracy Alliance.

00:21:32.260 Right.

00:21:32.960 You also pointed out in the Biden's first 100 days in Harry Reid's war room, they were brought in as an outside group to be a part of Harry Reid's war room.

00:21:41.080 So they're planning these protests, but they're also part of what's going to happen afterwards.

00:21:46.320 Things like getting rid of the filibuster.

00:21:47.900 Things like ending the electoral college, packing the courts.

00:21:50.380 All of these people are all at the table.

00:21:52.360 They've been doing it since 2016 after the last election, all the way up culminating until tonight.

00:21:58.280 Indivisible has also teamed up with Obama's group Organizing for Action.

00:22:03.320 Which used to be Organizing for America, and I warned in 2000, I think, 8 or 9, the president is going to keep all of that information,

00:22:13.240 and he is going to turn it around and eat the Democrats with it, and that's exactly what they're doing.

00:22:19.560 They were supposed to go away, but when Trump was elected, they changed their name and went right on trucking. 0.64

00:22:24.820 It's absolutely nuts.

00:22:26.480 Another large group organizing the protest is called The Frontline.

00:22:30.600 Now, this is interesting.

00:22:32.140 The other group I just told you about, Protect the Results, they're planning protests for Election Day.

00:22:37.080 Now, Frontline, their goal is November 4th.

00:22:41.580 So tomorrow going forward, they've already mobilized a virtual town hall that they're inviting all these other groups.

00:22:47.740 They have another impressive partner list.

00:22:50.160 They're getting together to say, okay, what do we do after the election?

00:22:53.660 So if Trump wins, what do they do to continue the resistance?

00:22:59.520 And that all starts tomorrow.

00:23:02.760 They're coordinating for tomorrow.

00:23:04.660 Yes.

00:23:04.880 So tomorrow night, and again, you can go to thefrontline.org.

00:23:08.180 I do your own homework, like we always say.

00:23:10.740 Watch what they have planned.

00:23:12.100 This is not conspiracy.

00:23:13.340 This is stuff in their own words that they're planning on doing.

00:23:15.900 So watch the town hall by all means.

00:23:18.140 The groups that are a part of that, Working Families Party.

00:23:23.380 If you're familiar with Justice Democrats, the squad, they work very heavily with Justice Democrats.

00:23:30.100 Another group, United We Dream, is part of that.

00:23:32.860 There are George Soros, another group, Movement for Black Lives, Electoral Justice Project.

00:23:38.160 They are the Tides Foundation.

00:23:39.880 It's all of the same players.

00:23:41.820 They're all coming together.

00:23:42.920 They've been doing this forever.

00:23:44.320 It's just nuts.

00:23:45.380 This is very, very well coordinated, which, of course, is one of the steps in the color revolution.

00:23:50.860 You have to have these things, and you have to have cries of voter fraud, and that the person that is currently in power is an authoritarian.

00:24:01.320 They have seeded the ground, and we will see if what they sowed is actually able to sprout any fruit or any plants or any flowers, as they would say, in America.

00:24:21.440 I want to play something.

00:24:22.940 This is a Zoom call that happened over the weekend with one of these groups.

00:24:29.500 In fact, all of these groups on a conference call, on a Zoom call.

00:24:32.520 I just want you to listen to the kinds of things that they're saying, and they all sound like normal, rational.

00:24:39.940 They sound like your neighbor.

00:24:41.320 Listen.

00:24:41.460 So we began to put together a list of things we want to know about in the city.

00:24:46.900 So where are all the police stations?

00:24:49.340 Because it's good to know where the police are.

00:24:51.640 Where are all the key government buildings?

00:24:54.420 Where are all the media outlets?

00:24:57.040 Who are the Trump boosters?

00:24:59.240 So we're talking about what would it take to surround the White House and have people do stuff.

00:25:03.560 We can divide it up easily with affinity groups.

00:25:05.720 We have to be willing to put our bodies on the line and take on some discomfort, sacrifice, risk in order to change things.

00:25:14.520 And I've been in conversations where people have never thought about having a gun or like, should I have a gun?

00:25:19.140 But I think we have to know, and I'm going to talk a little bit in a few minutes about, what do we do when guns are in the mix?

00:25:25.040 So again, chaos is a suit by which change emerges.

00:25:28.340 Let's get cooking.

00:25:29.700 Again, we didn't cause the war.

00:25:31.360 We didn't ask for this war.

00:25:32.960 Many of us are here because we want to fight it.

00:25:35.000 We want something different.

00:25:36.680 What are we willing to do?

00:25:38.460 Because again, we're not dealing with people with just simple guns.

00:25:41.520 We're dealing with people with AR, AK-47s, multiple rounds, a lot of shootings.

00:25:46.820 So yeah, we are going to be in a crisis, but we want it to be one that we are creating.

00:25:53.900 We want to make sure that we are on the offense and not the defense.

00:25:57.640 We want them to be responding to us and thus not responding to them.

00:26:01.140 In a situation of a coup or an insurrection or an uprising, whoever's got the guns often can win.

00:26:10.900 We should be clear, like, it's got to go.

00:26:15.540 Trump's got to go.

00:26:17.080 In order to achieve what they did, they knew they had to take over important government buildings.

00:26:22.100 They knew they had to try and win over members of the police and army, and they had to protect each other.

00:26:28.460 I think we don't have a lot of experience taking over government buildings, and we might need to think about that.

00:26:33.680 And I know, as I said earlier, how we may find ourselves in the streets with people with different tactics than ours.

00:26:41.460 But, like, there may be some people that are willing to break the windows to get into the government buildings.

00:26:48.200 Like, if that's what we need to do, then we shouldn't fight about that.

00:26:52.500 Let's do that.

00:26:53.880 If you're watching this, you saw the Arabic writing on the screen as they showed it in.

00:27:00.480 This is because these people have been trained in Syria, and they're not afraid to say it out loud.

00:27:08.180 I mean, at what point do you become an enemy combatant?

00:27:13.540 At what point is this insurrection?

00:27:16.500 We will see.

00:27:18.460 And one side is deeply in bed with them.

00:27:23.060 The other side is not.

00:27:26.200 America, today is your day of choosing.

00:27:29.380 Do I want a government that is in bed with these kinds of people? 1.00

00:27:34.560 Or not?

00:27:38.180 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:27:53.640 I'm excited to talk to your co-star.

00:27:55.800 Your co-star on Cheers.

00:27:57.580 You don't want to bring that up.

00:27:58.580 She's going to be humble and say that she doesn't remember.

00:28:00.860 Oh, no.

00:28:01.220 Well, I want to make sure that at least the audience recalls your starring role.

00:28:05.040 Starring role.

00:28:05.960 If you're listening on audio, all you're going to hear is random clips of people talking.

00:28:09.980 But that's because Glenn's visual presence was so powerful.

00:28:12.960 Powerful.

00:28:13.380 Controlled all these scenes.

00:28:14.460 Did you actually spend the time looking up this old episode?

00:28:17.960 Shockingly, someone did it on YouTube already.

00:28:19.840 It's on YouTube.

00:28:20.440 We'll tweet it out.

00:28:21.300 Okay.

00:28:21.500 But this is, you can hear, see a very young, very young, and very thin Glenn Beck in the

00:28:29.480 background of a Cheers episode.

00:28:29.940 I have let myself go.

00:28:31.420 No, no.

00:28:31.960 There's no doubt about that.

00:28:33.020 Can we play the clips here?

00:28:34.260 Here we go.

00:28:34.560 My gosh.

00:28:34.900 Look at that.

00:28:35.580 With hair.

00:28:36.300 Yeah.

00:28:36.500 You can see him way in the background here.

00:28:39.100 Don't blink.

00:28:40.660 There I am, right?

00:28:42.000 This is every second he's on screen in the entire episode, by the way.

00:28:44.880 You've got to be kidding me.

00:28:48.200 I don't know where I am.

00:28:50.300 The background here.

00:28:51.620 It's always the background is the answer.

00:28:53.380 Hey, Frase, how are you doing?

00:28:54.900 There I am.

00:28:55.460 Well, I'll be watching you, Lillard.

00:28:56.980 You break a leg, all right?

00:28:58.300 Time of the month. 0.98

00:28:59.180 See, you can stop.

00:29:00.960 You can stop.

00:29:01.840 What was important was the way I was drinking at the bar.

00:29:06.180 And I know Kirstie remembers that.

00:29:07.920 Kirstie Alley is with us.

00:29:09.820 Host of the Kirstie Alley, Kirstie Alley on the Verge podcast.

00:29:14.540 That you can grab wherever you get your podcasts.

00:29:17.460 Welcome, Kirstie.

00:29:18.060 How are you?

00:29:19.420 I'm great, thank you.

00:29:20.660 How are you?

00:29:21.680 Congratulations on your role in Cheers. 0.99

00:29:23.980 Damn. 0.99

00:29:24.640 Yeah. 0.99

00:29:25.160 I know it played a big role in your career.

00:29:28.200 When you saw that, you were like, man.

00:29:32.240 I mean, this extra is.

00:29:33.340 You can't drink like that.

00:29:34.340 Yeah.

00:29:36.720 Well, I did become an alcoholic shortly after that.

00:29:39.640 And I'm not sure what role that played in it.

00:29:42.620 But, boy, you've been beaten up recently.

00:29:46.680 Yeah. 0.53

00:29:47.220 Now I've been beaten up by the people that hate you.

00:29:52.400 Every show I do talking about Trump, I get the people that hate the person show that I'm doing.

00:29:59.300 And so I'm collecting.

00:30:00.980 I'm collecting people that hate me along the way.

00:30:03.440 It's awesome.

00:30:03.800 Well, you know what I found is you apparently cannot collect enough.

00:30:08.560 They just keep making more.

00:30:11.220 So you're surprised every day.

00:30:13.580 You'll be like, wow, they hate me, too.

00:30:15.680 Huh.

00:30:16.440 Who thunk that? 0.98

00:30:18.960 So far, I'm good with my family, I think.

00:30:21.400 All my family.

00:30:22.280 I'm good with my friends, my family.

00:30:24.380 Do you live in?

00:30:25.100 I don't know, maybe like 96 million other people, but just not with a certain trip.

00:30:30.240 Do you still live in California?

00:30:33.960 I don't.

00:30:34.780 I've been, actually, I've been a resident of Florida for three and a half years.

00:30:39.100 Oh, okay.

00:30:39.740 I've lived in California, but I'm a resident of Florida.

00:30:42.100 Yeah.

00:30:42.640 Smart.

00:30:45.000 Well, thank you.

00:30:48.420 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:49.880 More people should consider that, except only if they learn why they moved from California.

00:30:58.860 It's crazy.

00:30:59.700 Yeah, I mean, I'm not a fan of the weather.

00:31:01.360 I've got to say, I'm not a fan of the weather, but I keep a place also in my home state where

00:31:06.240 I was born and raised in Kansas.

00:31:09.280 So, yeah, and then I get the four seasons, which I'm fond of.

00:31:14.840 Yeah.

00:31:15.380 Well, that's where everybody dreams of having a second house.

00:31:17.920 Kansas.

00:31:19.120 Right.

00:31:19.580 I think you.

00:31:20.220 I mean, that's why the property here is like, I mean, you know, a two bedroom apartment

00:31:23.440 is like $20 million.

00:31:24.880 Yeah.

00:31:26.020 So, Kirstie, I have heard that you voted for Obama.

00:31:30.920 Is that true?

00:31:31.880 I did.

00:31:32.560 You did.

00:31:32.860 And then, if that wasn't, you know, enough time, I voted for him twice.

00:31:39.040 You voted for him twice.

00:31:40.400 I was going to say everybody makes a mistake, but usually not the same mistake twice, but that's

00:31:44.900 okay.

00:31:45.820 So, what drew you to Trump after Obama?

00:31:51.880 Well, I guess Obama.

00:31:53.120 And what do you mean by that exactly?

00:32:01.680 Look, I, you know, here's the thing.

00:32:04.260 I had great hope for that administration.

00:32:07.840 Great hope.

00:32:08.520 I was so on board, so excited.

00:32:10.180 I thought, and one of the reasons I've got to admit is I thought it was going to, it

00:32:14.280 was going to help create help for a lot of people who might need help in their communities.

00:32:21.520 Right.

00:32:21.600 And bring us together.

00:32:23.800 Yeah.

00:32:24.320 Yes.

00:32:24.900 Yeah.

00:32:25.420 And bring us together.

00:32:26.460 And it clearly didn't unite us.

00:32:28.640 It's like it divided in a way, I would say, unless you want to be really quiet and just

00:32:33.660 stay in your basement alone.

00:32:35.760 But, you know, I'm sort of like this.

00:32:38.640 I am one of those people that's for the greatest good for the greatest number.

00:32:42.340 So, the way I evaluate things is, especially, you know, I do, I'm sorry, but I evaluate

00:32:48.300 things on jobs, the economy, freedom of religion, freedom of, you know, civil and human rights.

00:32:57.360 I just have this list.

00:32:59.380 And so, then I make a decision of who I think is going to do the best job.

00:33:02.160 And I thought Trump was going to do the best job, and he has done the best job.

00:33:04.640 That's why I'm going to vote for him again.

00:33:06.740 You can get in touch with me in four years from now and see how that went.

00:33:09.500 You don't, you're not on a friendship train, though, are you?

00:33:13.960 I mean, there's just, you're not looking to pick up new friends with this commentary

00:33:18.420 and with this vote, because that makes you extremely, I mean, you are a rare individual,

00:33:24.860 especially in your business, that has the willingness to go against the grain and say it,

00:33:30.400 which is terrifying.

00:33:32.080 I mean, the liberals that I know, because I'm a classic liberal, I'm not a, you know, new liberal,

00:33:38.120 but a classic liberal, I've always agreed with people that, hey, leave art alone, leave speech alone,

00:33:45.200 let people, we're all different, let's just come together on the celebration of,

00:33:50.880 yep, you can say those things, and I don't agree with you.

00:33:53.880 It's America.

00:33:55.260 We can't do that anymore. 0.85

00:33:56.740 Well, we can, we just get prostituted. 1.00

00:34:02.380 Look, as a liberal, and the other thing, I'm just, look, I look at the big strokes in life.

00:34:07.220 I understand that there's small problems, but I think that you have to look at the big strokes

00:34:11.180 on what is the greatest good for the greatest number, and the liberal left right now isn't even liberal to me.

00:34:16.780 It is, especially in the news, it's really not liberal.

00:34:19.760 It has nothing to do with it.

00:34:20.880 It feels very socialist, and I'm just not, you know, they're not going to, you know,

00:34:25.840 they're not about to stand up for a 60-year-old Christian Scientology conservative girl.

00:34:32.460 So I knew when I came forward, but the reason I'm bringing that up, too, is I've been attacked my whole career for certain things,

00:34:40.540 and I'm sort of used to being attacked, and I feel like, wow, I don't really go out of my way to reach out

00:34:47.100 and say mean things to people or to offend them or to, you know, and I have a track record on the environmental issues,

00:34:56.580 a good track record, and I have a lot of good things to offer people, and if they can't see it, I just can't help them.

00:35:02.300 Yeah.

00:35:03.460 You did go after CNN this last week, and I think rightfully so.

00:35:10.820 You said that they have a fear of dying.

00:35:13.160 You said if you want to understand your friends that are walking around in sheer terror of COVID, you just have to watch CNN.

00:35:21.760 I decided to watch CNN myself to get their viewpoint, and oh, my God, did I ever.

00:35:26.040 If you two want to live in terror, just watch CNN.

00:35:28.700 They have a fear of dying.

00:35:30.820 It is their mantra.

00:35:33.300 It is.

00:35:34.480 Do they think, really, I mean, look, this has gone on now for eight months.

00:35:37.800 Do they really believe that only their viewers know what's going on?

00:35:43.180 Yes.

00:35:43.220 Do they really believe that their viewers are the only people who know that they could risk their lives

00:35:49.580 or at least risk getting sick or something with COVID out there?

00:35:54.220 It just seems so elitist to be telling everybody how to basically not walk out of their house and die, and then it's flipped on you.

00:36:06.820 Then it becomes flipped, like, oh, you don't care if people die.

00:36:09.140 Oh, I had friends that were sick.

00:36:10.280 I've had friends that were sick.

00:36:11.720 I've had friends that died.

00:36:12.940 I've had friends that were sick and died this year that didn't die of COVID, too.

00:36:16.400 So I am aware of death.

00:36:17.860 I don't need to be reminded of it 24 freaking seven.

00:36:20.500 And also, it wasn't just that they were reminding us 24-7 to keep us in horror.

00:36:25.960 They were reminding us 24-7 so they didn't have to talk or report about Biden and his son and his possible alleged dealings with communist countries where he got payola.

00:36:39.900 So I don't think that that was a tiny story.

00:36:43.200 That was a big story.

00:36:44.180 But instead of going with that story, they went with the you are going to die.

00:36:47.840 If you go out, you're probably going to die.

00:36:49.760 And the only good news and the only advice they had was wear a mask, wash your hands, and social distance.

00:36:56.180 Like, is this a cable show or can we cuss?

00:36:58.940 No, this is broadcast.

00:37:01.540 It's a little of everything.

00:37:02.460 Well, then, I'm sorry, but I would like to cuss right now and just say, like, we don't know what and know that.

00:37:08.760 Yeah, we don't know this.

00:37:11.100 Do we need to be reminded of it every second?

00:37:13.360 You brought up a really good point, too, where you were talking about what is Biden proposing that we're not already doing on COVID?

00:37:20.500 Because all he says is, I'm going to fix it.

00:37:23.900 How?

00:37:24.620 Right.

00:37:25.020 But he's going to fix everything.

00:37:26.560 So I decided to go, you know, I decided to give it a fair shake.

00:37:29.900 I went on Twitter and I said, OK.

00:37:31.840 And I was talking to Democrats, mostly the people who were voting for him.

00:37:35.500 What are his solutions?

00:37:36.900 So they gave me a CDC.

00:37:39.040 They gave me whatever is on his website.

00:37:41.980 And they gave me things of him saying.

00:37:43.660 And really, what is wear masks, wash your hands, social distance.

00:37:48.480 In the future, a vaccine is going to come along anyway.

00:37:52.280 But OK, the vaccine will come along.

00:37:54.960 And I don't it didn't say that he was going to do anything.

00:37:57.540 But that's my problem right now.

00:37:59.520 He's not saying anything about what he's going to do in specificity.

00:38:02.900 I want someone to specifically tell me what they're going to do.

00:38:06.720 Not, you know, one day I'm not fracking.

00:38:08.840 The next day I am fracking.

00:38:09.960 The next day, you know, your vice president hates your guts because the little girl was

00:38:13.960 on the bus and you were for segregation.

00:38:17.000 But now you're not for segregation. 0.99

00:38:18.800 You know, a week ago you were you were like a horrible, horrible racist. 0.99

00:38:23.980 And I said, hey, you're my partner. 0.95

00:38:30.140 It's good to talk to you, Kirstie, especially after all the time that we spent while I was

00:38:34.580 shooting that that episode of Cheers with you.
