The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Mollie Hemingway & Vickie Paladino ｜ 4⧸30⧸26

00:00:00.700 Holy cow, what an amazing show today. You have to listen to the whole thing, but if you only have time for the recap, this you're in the right place.

00:00:08.800 How the Supreme Court ruling could actually be more helpful to minority voters than the mainstream media actually wants to acknowledge.

00:00:16.340 That is what we take on first. Molly Hemingway is with us. Vicki Paladino, huh?

00:00:21.540 she is she's one of the five conservatives on the um new york city council out of 51

00:00:30.100 city councilmen they hate her you're going to love her and the one and only gavin mcginnis

00:00:39.240 one for the record books uh you don't want to miss a second of today's podcast and here it comes

00:00:46.060 first let me tell you about american financing everyone knows how easy it is to

00:00:53.460 you know used to be to get a number um you know you get a you get a number a monthly payment

00:00:58.660 uh and then that that number just keeps going up and up and up and things get a little more

00:01:04.060 uh stressful but over time you just adjust you become uh kind of numb inside and you're like

00:01:10.080 well that's just the way it's gonna be i can't do anything to stop it here's the problem um just

00:01:14.820 because something feels like it's normal doesn't mean it's right. Interest rates change, situations

00:01:20.560 change, markets change, and then that number still sits there unchallenged month after month

00:01:26.400 and it'll cost you. What if the payment could be lower? What if you could get out of the high

00:01:31.040 interest debt faster? That's where American financing comes in. They look at your situation

00:01:35.380 and your goals and they help you find a way to make your money work for you. That's refinancing

00:01:41.520 or consolidating debt without having you to, you know, if you have a great mortgage, the last thing

00:01:46.780 you want to do is refinance. You know, I got 1% interest rate of 3% interest. I don't want to

00:01:51.560 refinance. You don't have to. You don't have to touch that. This high interest credit card rate,

00:01:57.200 you don't have to live with it permanently. There might be a way to get out of that or change that

00:02:01.820 so you can actually pay it off. No upfront fees to find out if you qualify. It's American Financing,

00:02:53.460 we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work

00:03:02.380 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program the uh federalist editor-in-chief and

00:03:12.280 the author of alito molly hemingway molly how are you it's great to be here with you i'm doing great

00:03:17.760 yeah great great great to have you um boy what what perfect timing uh to have you on and to have

00:03:25.220 your new book out uh with what happened yesterday you want to give us a quick look at what alito

00:03:30.460 said in his decision and the meaning behind the court decision yesterday yeah the supreme court

00:03:37.540 has had to deal with all sorts of cases that are very frustrating for them dealing with conflicting

00:03:43.120 lower court opinions about how to enact the voting rights act now we know that the constitution

00:03:49.820 forbids racism and so you're not allowed to draw racially based you know districts in your in your

00:03:56.800 maps. But we also had a bunch of federal courts saying you had to be racist in your drawing of

00:04:02.780 districts. And so there was a mess that needed to be settled. Alito wrote this masterful major

00:04:09.520 opinion saying that the Constitution forbids racism. The Voting Rights Act was not written

00:04:18.120 and could not be written to oppose what the Constitution says. And so Section 2, which some

00:04:23.760 people had interpreted as requiring racist maps. That's clearly not the meaning that the legislators

00:04:31.200 who did the Voting Rights Act intended, and the racism is ended. Now, the reason why this is

00:04:36.860 interesting is because Democrats have exploited these federal rulings to create these very racial

00:04:44.700 maps that have given them an undue advantage in certain states. And so ruling these congressional

00:04:52.120 districts as unconstitutional and contrary to the Voting Rights Act itself means that they're all

00:04:57.940 going to be going away. And you saw states just yesterday saying, okay, we're going to get back

00:05:02.500 into session so we can draw non-racist maps. Help me out on gerrymandering. I mean, I know this

00:05:09.780 comes from one of our founders, and they were doing this right at the very beginning. I just

00:05:15.640 think it is the worst it's the worst idea of the republic and of the from the founding era it's not

00:05:23.840 part of our documents but um it was what eldridge uh gary that actually yeah that did this um what

00:05:33.900 was the thinking back then and why can't we stop this i mean i think it you know i think it was

00:05:39.320 jefferson and adams went back and forth and said we should have based it like on the bible where

00:05:44.520 it's stakes where you have a hundred people and when it gets over a hundred then you divide that

00:05:49.800 equally in half and you just keep making it into blocks um and it's the way to keep everybody

00:05:56.300 you know keep your politicians in that block they're not some some you know somebody that's

00:06:02.520 from you know on a thin snake-like line across the state they're in your neighborhood they're

00:06:08.160 in your area. Why is this still happening? Why can't we get rid of this? Well, yesterday's

00:06:15.660 ruling deals only with racial gerrymandering. That means you can still gerrymander. And I agree

00:06:22.200 with you, Glenn. I think it's very bad for the republic. It's bad because it also debunked.

00:06:27.220 John Tillman is this guy who lives in Chicago, and he had this point about how when you create

00:06:31.360 these gerrymandered districts that are overwhelmingly one particular interest group,

00:06:36.500 It means that the other people who are in that group, who are in that congressional district or a city or county district, they're not getting good representation.

00:06:46.780 I think it's very radical, but my idea is that we should just absolutely greatly expand the House of Representatives.

00:06:54.540 The real problem is we don't really have any representation at all.

00:06:58.460 Very hard to have a member of the House who is even close to representing his constituency because it's gotten so big.

00:07:06.500 So I'd like to see almost like a Thunderdome House of Representatives, where every 10,000 people gets their own representative.

00:07:14.180 It would be messy, but I think you would have more representative government.

00:07:17.560 The House is completely broken, so is the Senate.

00:07:21.200 Part of that is that they're so detached from the people they're supposed to represent.

00:07:26.780 Well, but gerrymandering actually is a reason for that.

00:07:30.480 I just did a monologue in our number one on why this is actually good, because this this ruling for for blacks or anybody who is taken for granted when you create a district where you know how it's going to vote, the politician doesn't have to work for your vote anymore. 0.55

00:07:47.380 you know so nobody listens to you you wonder why who's representing me why how can they go 80 percent

00:07:54.300 the population is 80 percent for you know uh id voter id and yet neither party wants to pass this

00:08:02.180 who are they representing well they're not representing you because republicans know they

00:08:06.880 can always count on your vote democrats know they can always count on the black vote all they have

00:08:11.260 to do is say a few things you know orrin hatch said to me one time and i was so disgusted by it

00:08:16.500 I just, I, it was said everything I needed to know. It was about 2009 tea party had just started and I'm sitting at a table with a bunch of politicians and Orrin Hatch is sitting there. And he said, ah, you don't have to worry about these, these people, meaning the tea party. You don't have to worry about these people. All I have to do is get up and I'm going to propose a flag burning amendment and they'll all be back on my side.

00:08:43.300 I was like, oh, my gosh, I need a bucket to vomit in. It was disgusting. But that's the difference between being managed and being represented. 0.97

00:08:53.400 Well, I think you're exactly right. And you saw it yesterday. Democrats said if we're not allowed to be racist, it's going to hurt our power.

00:09:01.260 And I understand that being racist in the drawing of maps has helped Democrats, but I don't think it's an unalloyed bad for Democrats or good for Republicans that these racist maps won't be allowed to stand.

00:09:13.560 Because of what you just said, if you aren't allowed to divide people into these super safe districts based on race, you'll have people who have to represent their whole constituency.

00:09:24.460 And I think you will see seats and more competitive seats is actually a good thing. Right now, it's like very few switch one way or the other.

00:09:34.580 And also, that's how you get radical representatives. I mean, look at the people that are representing people in the country or their district. You know, I understand it from San Francisco. I don't understand it from 70 percent of our representatives. They're radicals because they can play that because it's been gerrymandered so much. You don't have to play to the normal person. You play to the fringes.

00:10:02.500 it makes it very hard to work across party lines uh it just it causes a lot of problems

00:10:09.120 i mean some of those radicals are my favorite people

00:10:11.200 um so let's talk about uh the book alito that you just finished you spent a lot of time with him

00:10:19.740 um let me start with a broad question i and i'm just a casual i'm not like you i'm a cat more of

00:10:27.700 a casual observer of you know the supreme court and watching what they're doing um but my impression

00:10:33.900 is molly that this is the fairest supreme court we've had in my lifetime not that they agree with

00:10:42.840 me on everything they don't but it seems as though they're trying to get it right and they

00:10:49.960 make mistakes they get you know they'll go one way or another but this does not seem like a radical

00:10:55.480 supreme court unless you know you're looking for the progressive supreme court that will just

00:11:01.220 you know you know interpret the law any way they want and forget about the constitution

00:11:06.640 yeah i think that's why is that a fair go ahead i agree and the left has been freaking out about

00:11:13.660 this court because for decades they controlled the supreme court it wasn't like other you know

00:11:18.580 it wasn't like the presidency which went back and forth they just had complete control and they had

00:11:22.880 embraced this idea of rule of men. You had people like Justice Brennan saying that he thinks that

00:11:29.100 what he feels about the current moment is what's important, not what the Constitution meant at its

00:11:34.440 founding. You have this major movement take place where people say, this is just madness. They're

00:11:39.640 just legislating from the bench. And for the first time in our country's history, we have a majority

00:11:45.540 of justices who say that they want to adhere to the original meaning of the Constitution at the

00:11:51.380 time it was framed and they're doing really good good work logical reasonable work to have a

00:11:58.640 coherent make a case for the democrat that's listening that actually they are fair they've

00:12:08.360 they've done some things that are good for you well you can even look at the you know a lot of

00:12:14.360 my book deals with the overturning of roe v wade and a lot of people on the left were very upset

00:12:19.820 about that because they love abortion or they love the idea that abortion was hidden. You know,

00:12:26.360 Roe v. Wade said abortion was hidden in the Constitution by the founders. It's in between

00:12:31.260 a couple of words. Nobody actually believes that, but they did like that it gave the broad right to

00:12:37.680 abortion. And when Justice Alito wrote the opinion that overturned that, the media and other left-wing

00:12:45.440 groups definitely freaked out about it, but it was actually a very modest opinion that returns

00:12:51.900 power to the, it didn't say abortion is now forbidden or unborn children have a right to

00:12:59.260 life that's in the 14th amendment. It said that people get to decide what their abortion policy

00:13:04.620 is. And you might not like that you have to do that work of debating and hashing things out at

00:13:10.520 your state or federal legislature, but it's a very modest opinion. And even here, this idea that you

00:13:17.700 cannot be racist, that's in the Constitution. The 15th Amendment was passed precisely so that

00:13:25.140 states would not be racist when it came to election law. And you might say, but I like this

00:13:29.840 form of racism because it helps the Democrats. I think we all know deep down that racism is bad

00:13:35.820 and that it's forbidden by the Constitution

00:13:37.660 and that a piece of legislation

00:13:39.720 could not overturn what the Constitution says.

00:13:43.220 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.

00:13:48.580 wherever you get podcasts.

00:13:50.420 So here's the latest story.

00:13:53.540 The Supreme Court strikes down institutional racism.

00:13:57.340 That's the headline from our side.

00:13:59.920 What is the headline from the other side?

00:14:01.320 Do you happen to have that, Ricky?

00:14:02.960 This is so funny.

00:14:03.740 We're saying what I think is the truth, institutionalized racism, this gerrymandering along race lines, is racist.

00:14:12.880 It is racist.

00:14:14.040 But this is how they frame it.

00:14:15.700 They're suggesting that black voters will be disenfranchised now.

00:14:20.360 Quoting from The Atlantic, the Roberts Court is creating a world in which the federal government does not interfere with the right of white Americans to dominate those they see as their lessors.

00:14:33.740 OK, so on Wednesday, the court dealt with a key provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and they sided with Louisiana Republicans and Donald Trump blocking an electoral map that created a second majority black congressional district.

00:14:55.720 6-3 decision so this is not just a you know party line 6-3 decision the justices upheld

00:15:03.040 a lower court ruling that found the map unconstitutional why because they were basing

00:15:10.780 the gerrymandering on race now i'm gonna everybody can talk about this in any way that they want to

00:15:17.420 and they're gonna of course you know chuck schumer is like man i'm jim crow jim crow jim crow

00:15:23.440 it's not Jim Crow you know why why do people why do people listen to these people I mean this

00:15:31.500 sincerely think think so let me get this right so the people who were for slavery they fought

00:15:40.460 for slavery from the beginning of the republic they were the ones who split apart and said I

00:15:47.540 don't want to be a part of the republic if they have to tell if they're going to tell us we can't

00:15:51.200 have slaves. Then when they lost the war, they went in, they were for Jim Crow laws. They were 0.81

00:15:59.560 the ones taking away, they started the Klan. That was actually, and I have the documents to prove it 0.97

00:16:05.240 in our vault, they started the Klan. It was Antifa, really. That's what it was. It was an 0.83

00:16:14.680 old timey Antifa, make you afraid, shut you up. Okay. Stop you from doing anything. And 0.98

00:16:22.260 the primary target was, uh, was the black individual, but right alongside was anyone 0.96

00:16:30.740 who said blacks can vote. Blacks are just like you and me. Anyone, if you were white and you said 0.92

00:16:38.500 that, you were strung up as well. Okay. That's just a fact. So they're the ones who started the 0.67

00:16:45.760 Klan. Then they were the ones, Woodrow Wilson, that brought all of race back into the government, 0.91

00:16:53.060 segregated our government again. They were the ones with eugenics and saying that there are 0.85

00:16:58.920 subspecies. They were the ones against the Civil Rights Act. They were the ones who marched against 0.64

00:17:06.560 Martin Luther King. They were the ones who celebrated Martin Luther King's death. They

00:17:11.640 were the ones that put in the great society, which has destroyed the black family. And yet, 1.00

00:17:18.000 somehow or another, you're listening to them telling you what's best for your family, your race.

00:17:26.580 First of all, government and people, we need to start looking at people as people, not groups,

00:17:33.860 not race not by your income level or anything else stop look at people as individuals I mean

00:17:43.500 I believe it was Martin Luther King's dream by the way this is the same party that says

00:17:47.860 Martin Luther King wasn't all that they celebrated and celebrated and celebrated

00:17:53.160 until they started to expose who they really are and now they're saying yeah Martin Luther King

00:17:57.760 he doesn't get it. So you're listening to them about Jim Crow laws. And I can't, I kind of

00:18:05.220 understand it because I mean, they're the ones behind the Jim Crow laws. So they probably know 0.74

00:18:10.460 it better than anybody else. Let me, let me tell you why, what the Supreme court did is good for

00:18:18.960 everyone. And in particular, the black community. And I would say this, if it was a, if the whole

00:18:26.540 situation were reversed and it was all about whites. When you look at our government, do you 0.99

00:18:37.540 feel that you are fairly represented even by the people you just voted for? And I'll use this on me

00:18:46.640 with Republicans. I don't think they're representing me. I don't think they're representing you. When

00:18:51.520 80% of the population says they're for voter ID and both parties are not listening, they're

00:18:59.840 fighting against that, who are they representing, right? So you have to ask this question,

00:19:06.880 are you represented or are you being managed? Because those are not the same thing.

00:19:15.140 representation means a politician wakes up in the morning knowing they can lose you

00:19:22.180 it means your vote actually has teeth it means if they don't deliver if they drift if they lie

00:19:31.360 if they forget about you you pull the lever the other way and it's the end of their career

00:19:35.760 that's representation management is different management is when your vote is already accounted

00:19:46.280 for it's filed away predicted before you even step in yeah john i'm not gonna lose john's vote

00:19:51.520 john's with me no matter what i do okay you're no longer a citizen that they have to convince

00:19:57.320 if they don't have to convince you they don't care about representing you you're an asset that just

00:20:02.740 needs to be maintained and maintenance is cheap. The acquisition of that vote is hard. Maintenance

00:20:09.760 is easy. You do a speech here, a headline there, maybe a program that is announced, even if it

00:20:15.660 doesn't work. Yeah, well, I did that program. Okay. You don't have to solve problems when the

00:20:22.480 outcome is already locked in. They don't even have to listen to you. You just have to keep the

00:20:27.920 temperature from boiling over. That's all you have to do. And when you start to have problems,

00:20:33.080 because they're locked into you to get away from your problems, all you have to do is go,

00:20:38.900 you know what? It's these guys over here that are trying to convince you that I'm a bad guy.

00:20:43.640 Don't listen to them. Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow. Anytime any group of Americans or any

00:20:50.580 citizens that are represented becomes predictable, then they stop being the focus of performance,

00:20:59.360 actual action, and start being the focus of just messaging. That's it. If you are 90% locked in,

00:21:06.060 you're managed. If you are 50-50, you're represented. A politician only has to ask

00:21:15.120 a simple, just a few simple questions at election time. And this is all they ask. I can guarantee

00:21:20.360 you this is it. Where's the risk? Where can I lose? Who can I gain? Where do I have to prove

00:21:31.400 something? That's where all of the attention, the money, and the focus goes. If you are loyal,

00:21:39.120 he or she doesn't even think about you. Why should he? He's got other people that he's got

00:21:43.480 to gain or not lose you're locked in and not because of who you vote for but because of what

00:21:51.000 that does to your power what is the whole point of the republic it was it was it was not to be

00:22:05.220 locked in on anything it was to be listened to to be represented listen to me how many times have

00:22:12.920 you said that in your life. I wish these people would just, how many times have you had a

00:22:16.680 conversation? Guys, you and I know we could go to Washington. We could fix this damn thing.

00:22:21.320 It's not that hard, right? Just listen to us. The founders did not design a system for permanent 0.99

00:22:29.200 coalitions, but that's what the parties have created. The founders designed one of constant

00:22:35.960 tension. This is why George Washington said, stay away from the two-party system. You got to get

00:22:40.340 away from it. It'll be the death of the Republic. For instability in just the right way, so no one

00:22:48.760 could ever sit comfortably knowing, I got it. You're supposed to be unpredictable. You're

00:22:55.640 supposed to be difficult, demanding. You were supposed to make them earn it every single time.

00:23:03.040 but we traded we traded that for identity and habit which means nothing whole groups of Americans

00:23:13.500 left right doesn't matter why they're safe let me ask you this Native Americans who do you vote for

00:23:21.260 usually guarantee you vote for the Democrats you vote for the liberals want to look at your 0.99

00:23:27.020 situation do you think maybe something would change if you were like you know what I don't

00:23:31.900 think I'm going to vote for you? What have you done for us? And you actually were taken seriously

00:23:36.640 that you might vote another way. We become safe districts, safe voters, safe assumptions,

00:23:44.400 and safe politicians. That's when the shift happens. And the shift is from serving to managing.

00:23:54.360 And when you're managed long enough, two things happen. One, you stop expecting results.

00:24:00.100 and when that happens you start measuring words instead of outcomes what did they say how many

00:24:07.380 of us are sick and tired i've heard the speech i don't care what they say anymore i want to see it

00:24:12.640 in action we're going to hold these people responsible have they the second thing that

00:24:18.840 happens is you start defending the people who should be answering to you let me say that again

00:24:24.360 you start defending people who should be answering to you

00:24:30.920 isn't that what's happening because this is this is how the world is turned upside down and inside

00:24:37.300 out because you the voter have begun serving the politician and the party the representation

00:24:46.680 is gone all of us are asking they don't represent me who are they representing

00:24:52.780 the party and you are defending it and that all happened because they can count on your vote

00:25:01.100 so what should the goal be not about switching parties every cycle to prove a point

00:25:08.500 it's just restoring uncertainty stability you know the everything works best when there is

00:25:17.560 predictable unpredictability. You don't want chaos. You want predictable unpredictability.

00:25:26.580 So you have to make it clear, no matter who you are, no matter where you live,

00:25:31.200 no matter your skin color, you can't count on my vote. That support has conditions. 0.71

00:25:39.760 And one of the conditions is what are your actions? What are you actually doing for me?

00:25:45.480 you know if you took a car you bought a car and you just loved say whatever you just you

00:25:52.760 you loved Chevy and Chevy no longer cared about you they were only about selling the next car to 0.71

00:25:59.980 somebody else who isn't a Chevy driver you went in for service and they treated you like garbage

00:26:04.980 and when they fixed it they never really fixed anything and you were like you know what guys

00:26:09.860 can you just fix this i love your cars can you just fix this yep we're gonna fix it and then 0.97

00:26:15.720 they never fix it how long would you drive a chevy why is it they have been giving you a crap

00:26:22.380 box on wheels for a hundred years slapping you and your family and everything you hold dear 0.99

00:26:29.900 ever notice if you look at the actual moral backbone of the black community they're conservative 0.88

00:26:38.700 They're probably more conservative in many ways, especially on God and family,

00:26:43.740 than the average white conservative is.

00:26:46.780 How does that fit?

00:26:48.460 How does that fit?

00:26:50.160 Because you're a Chevy driver and you'll always drive a Chevy.

00:26:53.720 The only thing that forces action in a political system is the risk of losing.

00:26:59.660 Risk.

00:27:00.420 You want better schools, safer streets, an economy that actually works for you again?

00:27:04.620 Then the politicians have to feel something.

00:27:07.520 they haven't felt in a long time, and I'm careful with this, fear. Not fear of mobs,

00:27:12.920 not fear of the street, fear of losing you. Then they have to represent you. And until we get back

00:27:21.140 to that, you're just going to confuse attention with results, management with leadership,

00:27:27.840 and you will go on defending the people who are not representing you. And then you wonder why

00:27:34.580 nothing ever really changes this was a great thing for the republic this is the best of the

00:27:41.620 glenbeck program gavin mcginnis how are you sir i'm fantastic how are you doing great great to

00:27:46.780 have you here looking looking sharp welcome to new york city yeah final days

00:27:51.540 in so many ways i think that's probably accurate um uh where do we even begin let's start with

00:28:00.440 jimmy kimmel because you know jimmy kimmel yes um you were friends with jimmy kimmel are you still

00:28:06.200 friends nope no why uh well i was telling you earlier i think he's what i call a second marriage

00:28:12.240 slave and uh howard stern has it too you go through a divorce when you're rich and it guts you

00:28:18.280 so the second wife you go this is lasting no matter what if she wants to become amish i'm

00:28:23.740 growing a long beard and shaving my mustache and so these pretty girls they they're pretty 0.99

00:28:28.400 politics is always liberal woke crap and they want to go to dinner parties with famous people 0.87

00:28:33.800 so i need you to be woke and so stern and kimmel just went pure woke lost their edge i mean it's 1.00

00:28:40.700 exact same story twice he he was always a total jerk in a good way like a meno palouse like he 0.96

00:28:49.320 would make his staff cry he'd say no one is like he told me i was at name dropping here i was at 0.98

00:28:54.640 jennifer anison's house and i saw him no me too never i actually wet her guest bed but that's

00:29:00.020 another story um okay let's you gotta excuse me you gotta tell the add story now okay that's a

00:29:10.300 great story so i i see kim well he's probably stoned he was a big stoner back then this is

00:29:14.300 back when he was still had some meanness in him and he we have a mutual friend one of his writers

00:29:18.900 tony and he goes i said to them i said look i'm sick of you not giving me stuff you know what

00:29:24.080 It's Friday.

00:29:24.600 No one's leaving until I get 10 decent jokes from each one of you.

00:29:28.000 And then he goes, this is Kimmel talking.

00:29:29.560 He goes, I go over to Tony's desk.

00:29:31.060 He's crying. 1.00

00:29:32.820 And then we both laugh our heads off at him for being such a p-word. 1.00

00:29:38.640 A weak, a poo-poo guy. 0.97

00:29:42.020 That was Kimmel. 1.00

00:29:43.080 I mean, I had dinner with him and Justin Theroux once.

00:29:45.120 Wow, I'm really dropping the names all over the floor here.

00:29:47.400 And I had a white motorcycle helmet.

00:29:49.520 And when I wasn't looking, they wrote Hillary on the back of my helmet.

00:29:53.760 Just to piss you off. 0.80

00:29:54.440 Just to piss me off. 0.94

00:29:55.400 Which is funny.

00:29:56.080 That's a good prank.

00:29:57.060 I couldn't get it off.

00:29:58.160 I had to use reflective tape to hide it.

00:30:01.800 So that's the guy, in his essence, you know, a sports dude, a jock, you know, the man show.

00:30:07.760 Right. 0.98

00:30:08.160 This guy is just a total wimp, crying all the time. 1.00

00:30:12.500 The guy who made fun of crybabies is now a crybaby. 0.99

00:30:15.800 And you think that's because he doesn't want to lose his job?

00:30:18.500 He doesn't want to be the cool kid? 0.85

00:30:20.120 It's 100% the wife. 0.54

00:30:20.560 He married a young, pretty lady after his normal wife that gave him kids, and she's, you know, she's woke, so he's woke.

00:30:30.720 But you found the joke funny.

00:30:33.700 So the joke, and the reason I'm dying on this hill is I don't want us to be no, we've got to drop the pearl clutching.

00:30:40.400 Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you.

00:30:41.520 Because you lose the youth if you clutch the pearls, and if you don't have youth on your side, you're done.

00:30:46.200 And we have the youth on our side right now. 0.78

00:30:47.740 We've got the Red Scare hipster girls.

00:30:50.060 We've got, you know, Dime Square in New York City. 0.55

00:30:54.320 It's cool to be conservative again for the first time since the 80s.

00:30:57.400 So let's not blow this by freaking out over a joke.

00:31:00.200 So the joke was way before the Correspondents' Dinner,

00:31:02.480 and he always jokes about their age gap.

00:31:04.880 And he said, you have the glow of an expectant widow,

00:31:07.340 because how old is your husband, 85?

00:31:08.960 He's going to die any second now.

00:31:10.540 And it's cruel.

00:31:11.760 So I didn't buy that, but I don't watch Kimmel.

00:31:13.820 So I didn't, when he said, it was an age thing, 0.96

00:31:17.000 i thought what a crock of crap but if he's joking about the age all the time then maybe that's true 0.97

00:31:23.400 he is we got to take it on the chin i mean the beauty wait wait wait wait wait are there any 0.99

00:31:30.440 standards when it comes to like i've never joked about a president being killed oh yeah never do

00:31:37.300 that yeah no no no i i it's not pro-clutching to be mad at that comedian holding up trump's head

00:31:42.660 yes yes that's that's not pearl clutching yes it's not pro clutching when they say when we go low

00:31:46.980 we kick them it's not pro clutching to hear maxine waters say harass them at the restaurants it's not

00:31:51.780 right uh pro clutching to hear tim kane say we need fighting in the streets yes hillary asking

00:31:57.300 why there's not fighting in the streets that's beyond the pale that's calling for violence right

00:32:02.020 which we never do and pearl clutching is that's a joke yeah not like just when i first heard it

00:32:09.760 It was on the front page of the New York Post.

00:32:11.080 I go, oh, he was at the Correspondents' Dinner?

00:32:13.180 Oh, he joked about an assassination right before an assassination?

00:32:16.040 Right.

00:32:16.540 I mean, that's what the left does.

00:32:18.120 That's propaganda.

00:32:19.180 They twist things.

00:32:20.460 And I don't want to join that club.

00:32:22.480 So I don't want to, you know, yesterday we had a big, long discussion about, you know, the FCC and Donald Trump getting involved.

00:32:31.720 I understand why, as a human being, Melania would say what she said.

00:32:37.480 trump would say as a human being but i don't want the government involved in any of this i want less

00:32:42.920 federal government and especially from the fcc but it's hard because um you know i know had i

00:32:52.460 said it and even meant age if i were at fox and i even meant age and i said that about let's say

00:33:00.000 joe biden and joe biden they would have fired me they would have absolutely fired me yep positively

00:33:06.300 um but it seems like you know they they at abc they fire everybody for everything but not him

00:33:14.600 seemingly for anything and i don't like mobs i don't want to be calling for i don't want to call

00:33:20.460 for any of that stuff and i don't want the government involved but is there any standard

00:33:25.040 for abc is it a double standard what well why don't we do that then let's embrace hypocrisy

00:33:31.900 and be totally inconsistent i want jimmy kimmel fired yeah i think that joke was funny i know it 0.71

00:33:38.120 wasn't about assassination i still want him fired which is totally hypocritical of me right and i'm

00:33:42.440 happy to embrace i've said that about him before that i i want free speech except for him and

00:33:47.440 but the reason i'm saying this is because it's a war now all's fair in love and war so i can tell

00:33:55.280 you that jimmy kimmel's joke was harmless and also say get him fired because i'm ruthless now

00:33:59.840 i'm an assassin and we have to start playing dirty when we when they go low we kick them

00:34:05.120 i'm eric holder now so you're joking here no right no like toby young was talking about this lord

00:34:12.000 young over in in in britain you should meet him when you're up there by the way he wrote that

00:34:16.500 book how to lose friends in and influence people he he lived in new york for a while noticed the

00:34:21.760 schools were terrible so he started a charter school on his own uh and it's a chain now he he

00:34:27.460 has a free speech fund where uh if you're being arrested or persecuted or canceled for something

00:34:33.080 you said they will fund it if you are part of this group it's like a pot of money that you put

00:34:37.800 into and then if you get sued um and he was talking about academia and he said i started meddling you

00:34:44.080 know we're starting to meddle in these colleges in a way that doesn't feel consistent to me with

00:34:48.700 free speech but he goes to fix post-secondary education in britain and america is a 200 year

00:34:56.160 job they're that far gone so i need to be a brutal dictator to fix academia i it needs tyranny

00:35:05.620 i can't tell if you're joking or not i'm not i'm not i mean look at look at i don't want to become

00:35:15.100 those things that i despise sorry try it on it feels good

00:35:19.180 like who was it who said i think it was uh friedman there uh the the guy at the at the

00:35:27.520 new york times the opinion columnist and he said can't we be china just for a year

00:35:31.580 and this is during obama's and then we can enact all of obama's policies i'm like can't we be china

00:35:36.960 just for a year so we can act trump's policies no you never come back from it i'll try it uh

00:35:44.420 give it a whirl give fascism a chance uh i have to tell you part of me though does agree with

00:35:51.240 that i feel that way intellectually i'm not there but i feel that way yeah that it is so far gone

00:35:59.920 that there are you know i've never i am give me two more years and i am death penalty for

00:36:05.320 parking tickets absolutely i am just uh you know there is an african despot who hated flip-flop 0.81

00:36:12.320 so much that he would have his military at gunpoint make anyone wearing flip-flops eat 0.59

00:36:17.900 said flip-flops we need to bring that in for crocs we got to get the national guard out there

00:36:26.160 and and crocs are a universal problem it's bad in the hood but it's bad in the suburbs too

00:36:30.420 and we got to get these kids eating that might be able it might be a way to be a good control

00:36:34.340 of the hospitals and the doctors again get them to eat their crocs someone's wearing pjs gasoline

00:36:40.300 on the pjs match i know it sounds bad but it you'll trust me a little bit pant people will

00:36:47.820 be wearing pants in no time so i was uh i was with um piers morgan i was on piers morgan's show

00:36:54.060 yesterday and um you know piers and i don't agree on an awful lot um but uh i was on with him

00:37:02.260 yesterday and he said you know i saw your tweet that you were standing shoulder to shoulder with

00:37:06.440 to Tommy Robinson. You're going over to his rally. And I said, yeah. And I said, I will tell you,

00:37:11.240 Piers, I don't know who's speaking at the rally and I can't judge. I can barely judge my own

00:37:15.940 country. You know what I mean? I can't judge all these people coming from all over Europe. And I'm

00:37:20.740 concerned because in America, we understand individual liberty. So if you believe in the

00:37:26.340 Bill of Rights of the Constitution, that's all about individual liberty. Nobody else has that.

00:37:32.020 you know nobody else has that and so it can go fascistic or communist easy they're they're

00:37:38.240 railroad tracks one the the left is communist and the right is fascist and they hope to play

00:37:43.840 somewhere in between in america fascism and communism is on the left yeah anarchy is on the

00:37:51.000 right right i mean and you want to play between those railroad tracks they don't get that and he

00:37:56.760 said well i gotta warn you i don't think you know who tommy robinson is and i said i've spent some

00:38:00.880 time with him i mean you know and you know i'm not a detective i haven't gone through his garbage

00:38:06.800 but he seems like a guy who admits that he has had you know he was a brawler when he was young

00:38:12.780 a street fighter um but seems pretty logical now and is following the breadcrumbs um and warning

00:38:20.920 about things that are real and he said yeah he just keeps making about islamists and i'm like

00:38:27.200 well yeah it seems like you have a problem with you know islamist not you know not um just people

00:38:35.860 coming in from the country but people who are coming into the country who like sharia law and 0.98

00:38:39.760 are raping your children that seems like a real deal and he just doesn't see it at all tommy's 0.98

00:38:44.560 from luton yeah 60 muslim tommy's cousin was raped by a pakistani grooming gang so he's in 0.99

00:38:51.280 the eye of the storm you got to understand about britain they are pre-thatcher now they've reverted 0.70

00:38:55.520 there's no more middle class there's the elites and the working class thatcher came along privatized

00:39:00.840 everything yeah destroyed the unions it was they went through some growing pains but they had

00:39:05.860 finally had a middle class they finally had entrepreneurs for decades and now they've gone

00:39:10.100 back and peers is an elite he's never been to luton he doesn't understand the working class

00:39:15.660 you know he's probably doesn't go to any football matches with with these people he's got his own 0.90

00:39:20.200 little box and they don't understand that the the muslim problem is within the working class they're

00:39:27.160 not in you know cheddington they're not in the the the west london yeah they're not in south 0.53

00:39:33.740 south england they're all in concentrated in birmingham in rotherham in luton and those towns

00:39:40.660 are gone like ozzy osborne goes back to birmingham and he said this on steve jones podcast he goes

00:39:45.660 i didn't understand where i was everybody walking around the long shirts

00:39:51.060 and steve jones from the sex pistols was just like yeah anyway what teams you support

00:39:57.360 because that's the third rail right right so tommy has these rallies where three million people show 0.90

00:40:04.680 up and they're all working class because they live with this problem the problem of islam

00:40:09.440 Sikhism is not a problem in Britain 0.57

00:40:11.780 Hinduism is not a problem

00:40:13.480 these groups assimilate

00:40:14.440 the Quran clearly states

00:40:16.820 don't assimilate

00:40:17.900 convert or die

00:40:19.000 so it's a controversial view I have

00:40:21.360 but I like Tommy and I think 1.00

00:40:22.980 that Islam is incompatible with the western world 1.00

00:40:25.280 and when it gets more than 10% 1.00

00:40:26.900 you get problems

00:40:28.220 we're at one or two

00:40:29.480 we're doing okay for now

00:40:31.440 although Texas is not looking good

00:40:32.960 and we lost Michigan

00:40:34.080 but in Britain

00:40:36.300 they've successfully taken over many areas

00:40:38.320 And they're calling for Sharia law. 0.97

00:40:41.840 And that's what Tommy's about.

00:40:43.720 Like, I did a podcast with The Economist yesterday in Britain, and she's like, don't you think that the problem with Tommy and what he's doing is that he's stereotyping people.

00:40:53.180 And there could be innocent, you know, Muslims who are falling into this category.

00:40:57.840 And I'm like, you know what's inconvenient? 0.98

00:40:59.720 Being sodomized by an old man when you're 11 years old. 0.71

00:41:03.000 like there are thousands and thousands of child rapes where i'm not even sure i can say it on the 0.95

00:41:08.580 show what they do like nailing a girl's tongue into a piece of wood while she's being raped no 0.63

00:41:13.300 raping her under the pakistani flag branding girls with an m for muhammad and the elites 0.98

00:41:19.960 takeaway at the economist is but what if we offend people children being raped is much more offensive 0.95

00:41:26.540 than someone being inconvenienced and if you're being inconvenienced by the way as a moderate 0.91

00:41:30.620 muslim you should be mad at the gaudies for creating this pattern you're falling into yes

00:41:35.480 it's not my problem yes you're listening to the best of the glenn beck podcast hear more of this 0.94

00:41:40.720 interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts okay if you

00:41:46.880 ever feel like you're alone imagine this you're in new york city you are a conservative and you

00:41:56.020 are on the New York City City Council. There are 51 members. You're one of five Republicans.

00:42:06.400 You're very alone. Vicki Palladino is with us. She is the New York City Councilwoman who is in

00:42:15.200 big trouble. They're going after her and all kinds of things. For speaking what I believe

00:42:20.460 is the truth and we want to get an update on what mom donnie looks like now and in the future

00:42:28.400 from the new york uh perspective uh welcome vicky how are you oh good morning glenn thank you so

00:42:36.680 very much for having me on it's an honor i mean you go back a long time i go back a long time with

00:42:43.800 you so it's really very thank you for having me on uh you know it's it's weird when when i vicky

00:42:50.940 when i said years ago you know that communist and socialist and anarchist would uh you know come in

00:42:57.040 with the islamist work together to overthrow stability and the western way of life and western 0.77

00:43:02.800 world i never thought it would happen with the mayor of new york city and i know you're in trouble 0.64

00:43:10.140 for for saying this but i see him as the the definition really of the red green alliance

00:43:18.680 100 you were right then and you're right again today uh what people don't realize is like you

00:43:27.340 said and it goes back decades this has been decades in the making and uh they lay in all

00:43:33.240 their groundwork you know bridget gabriel when i first heard her speak how to be back in 2017

00:43:40.120 and i was just astonished not just by her story but her predictions and what we should expect

00:43:49.620 here in america you know the takeover from within so to expect uh the new mayor of new york city

00:43:58.700 a 34 year old who just became an american citizen only some 10 years uh between seven and 10 years

00:44:07.300 ago uh secured a seat in our new york state assembly as a dsa now we cannot categorize this

00:44:16.440 young guy as a democrat though he ran and won on the democratic line what we've watched and

00:44:24.760 witnessed throughout the country and here in new york is the democrat sensible what we'd like to

00:44:31.380 refer to as sensible though we're losing hope in that as well take a knee to uh the democrat

00:44:37.940 socialist party and that's what we've done and uh anybody who knows new york politics knows

00:44:45.320 that we've had our fair share of bad mayors but this is not about a mayor no this is about an

00:44:53.500 inexperienced uh young man who won a state assembly seat who did nothing with that and

00:45:00.020 And then the next thing you know, he's running for mayor of New York on the Democratic line.

00:45:04.700 Hard to believe.

00:45:06.300 However, the structure that was put behind this kid ensured a win for him.

00:45:13.180 Like, we were scratching our heads through that primary in June.

00:45:16.560 And we knew by August that he had a really good chance of taking this race.

00:45:23.600 He went about it very differently, Glenn. 0.88

00:45:26.040 He hit a lot of very young people.

00:45:27.780 He was very popular on TikTok.

00:45:31.080 Everything was going to be for free.

00:45:34.540 You know, he was bringing his father's and the way he was raised with his Marxist ideologies.

00:45:41.560 His father teaches Marxism at Columbia University.

00:45:45.160 He's a tenured professor.

00:45:46.460 So take us back a summer or two when we had the big eruptions of these university campuses being taken over. 0.93

00:45:57.780 by the pro-Palestinian movement his father along with Piker Hassan and the rest of them

00:46:06.280 Hassan Piker and he was part of this this young man and uh the writing was on the wall two years

00:46:13.800 ago but again I think Glenn trying to be reasonable people that we are and trying to think like this

00:46:21.780 could never happen well it did and man did it ever so we are okay so i want to let me let me

00:46:31.840 break this up into two things um and i want to talk to you about both of them one holy cow just

00:46:39.800 business the guy has no business sense the budget is out of control he's promising free stuff he's

00:46:46.920 driving out the tax base this is really bad i want to talk to you quickly about you know where's that

00:46:52.940 tax money going to come from when all the millionaires are gone uh and what this means

00:46:57.380 and then i also want to go back to the islamic side but first let's just deal with his yeah what

00:47:04.440 is coming for new york business well first of all we're watching uh gigantic companies leave

00:47:14.060 our downtown wall street midtown area uh these are people who employ over 20 000 people some

00:47:22.300 companies we just watched apollo global leave the city of new york right now they're moving

00:47:28.600 to texas and to florida that company alone just to put it on a scale here is worth 900 billion

00:47:38.020 that's almost a trillion dollars they're picking up and they're moving now what we have that's

00:47:45.620 just one of them word came down yesterday something about charles schwab moving uh word

00:47:51.600 also came down about chase moving their main headquarters out of the city of new york so what

00:47:59.120 we have and what we're looking at here you're in a serious business and what what is our leadership

00:48:05.300 chase man yeah there is no leadership so we have we are looking down the barrel of a gun

00:48:13.640 uh he claims we're broke well yeah we're broke uh but we also you also are looking for a 15

00:48:21.520 billion dollar bailout you know we budget by bailout here in new york city and he's going

00:48:27.700 hat in hand much like a child because that's how i treat him you know as a child uh

00:48:33.760 And he's going to his mom and dad, which is Governor Hochul, and asking her to please give us money and to extend the deadline of New York State's budget to May 12th.

00:48:48.060 So here's what we could do.

00:48:50.460 It's really very easy.

00:48:52.500 Do not increase the budget to $127 billion. 1.00

00:48:56.400 The budget has got so much fat in it because we pay every cost, everything that comes up with the illegal immigrants, right? 1.00

00:49:06.340 He wants to do a city-run grocery store, one grocery store, ground up $30 million. 1.00

00:49:13.420 We've got more not-for-profits in this budget that if he wanted to do the right thing, what you do is like what Rudy did.

00:49:23.580 you cut spending, you lower corporate taxes, you give, you entice people to stay. So not only are

00:49:31.900 they talking about increasing corporate taxes, he's also talking about raising our property taxes

00:49:38.580 by 9.5%, which my speaker, no, this is insane. We cannot say, which, which my speaker says is off

00:49:48.720 the table which means it's not off the table it means we got to figure a workaround nothing here 0.99

00:49:55.280 okay nothing nothing nothing here is going to make the middle class stay you know he's right

00:50:02.160 about one thing he's right that this is a structural problem a problem no no question

00:50:07.360 about it and it requires a structural solution however he's going about it completely backwards

00:50:13.720 this is where his inexperience comes in he's 34 glenn never held a job in his life his parents

00:50:22.180 born in uganda his parents are his mother multi-millionaire uh time and again over and

00:50:30.840 over again and uh we've got ourselves uh really really we're not going to tax our way to prosperity

00:50:38.580 we're just not going to do it i will i will tell you i am i'm so sick of these politicians who say

00:50:44.200 they care about you know the country or the city and then yesterday when the king came in

00:50:50.240 he immediately went to you need to return the crown jewel to india what the hell does the mayor 0.86

00:50:57.060 of new york care about right i mean it just shows where his focus is no he's arrogant he's arrogant 0.95

00:51:06.220 He thinks he's mayor, and this young guy with an ego bigger than the sun, he thinks who the hell he is. 0.73

00:51:16.440 And this is where he really needs to get knocked down a peg or two.

00:51:20.080 And I posted about that today myself, about, like, how dare you?

00:51:25.420 You are the court jester, Zoran.

00:51:27.780 You are not the mayor. 0.95

00:51:29.780 and as mayor what nerve do you have to ask the king of england for some crown jewel shut up 0.99

00:51:38.500 just shut up you're doing it all wrong no i love you oh i don't know how we have not become friends 0.99

00:51:45.200 um listen um let me let me switch let me switch topics i've only got a couple of minutes left 0.99

00:51:51.020 you have you have been charged by the city council for disorderly conduct because you made a post

00:51:58.420 about him uh you know and the islamist uh nature of him and the backers takeover the islamic

00:52:07.840 takeover of new york city okay so what did you what did you say exactly you know what i don't

00:52:14.700 even remember it was uh the first thing was the first tweet i could tell you this because i never

00:52:21.080 take tweets down i did okay and i said i swear to god i'll never do this again uh it was right

00:52:27.380 after the australia shooting and i put up uh a tweet about that that that i believe that a lot

00:52:36.060 of these radicalized islamic islamics need to be deported uh and the or denaturalized and that the 0.90

00:52:45.220 federal government should come up with some sort of structure where we could monitor what the hell 0.98

00:52:50.680 they're doing okay that was one tweet they asked me to take that tweet down not him my speaker asked

00:52:56.900 me to take that tweet down and i did then it got worse from there so they decided to badmouth me

00:53:04.040 in front of the entire new york city press corps uh and that wasn't going to sit well with me

00:53:09.380 so what i did was my twitter every i have i have a lot of very good people glenn and you know what

00:53:17.480 let's be real there's more good than there is bad but uh we just need to uh we just need to find

00:53:24.400 the good people need to speak up so i did along with my attorney we filed a lawsuit which i really

00:53:32.480 can't talk much more than that about uh in the process right now of trying to work out

00:53:39.580 some reasonable uh negotiation here that both sides could live on live with you know what i'm

00:53:47.480 thing. So that's where I am right now. And as soon as I know more, and hopefully, you know,

00:53:54.900 we can find the middle ground that we're seeking. I, you know, I'm in city council now for the next

00:54:02.780 four years. And these are my colleagues in council. And they know me as Vicki Palladino,

00:54:10.400 know the human being and they know that i have a good heart and they know how i how i am in my um

00:54:18.420 my district and now all over the city how much i give a damn about others and solving problems

00:54:26.020 and we're in the business in the city council of solving problems so by working together

00:54:32.260 with my council i hope we could put the past behind us and move forward and be constructive
