00:02:58.840 us now let's get to work you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program all right so we

00:03:12.940 survived yesterday thank goodness yesterday was kind of scary there for a while uh because when i

00:03:19.660 first got in they were screaming on television 37 minutes before the stock market

00:03:24.900 and they're like okay all right um and then it turns out to be like nothing i mean we lost one

00:03:34.760 percent but really from in the morning this is gonna be the worst day in the history of all mankind

00:03:40.960 you remember january 6 gonna be worse than that okay all right calm down so you know europe

00:03:50.180 it went down six percent markets worldwide went down we went down one percent and uh that's because

00:03:58.040 president trump who announced a zero for zero tariff scheme i love that word used all over in in

00:04:05.540 mainstream media today trump's tariff scheme oh that sounds honest doesn't it uh would slap 20 duty on

00:04:14.500 things like from the european union well european union came out yesterday uh led by their trade

00:04:19.860 commissioner who i'm not even going to attempt uh to even pronounce the name because it has

00:04:25.380 like little down arrows over four of the letters in the name so i don't even know what that means

00:04:30.780 anyway uh they countered with their own uh zero for zero uh proposal yesterday and trump said

00:04:36.500 now i'm not good enough they're like a zero for zero now why he said you gotta buy oil from us

00:04:45.280 now in a sane world they would immediately go okay can we get a good deal on that if we're buying all

00:04:52.300 of our oil from you can we get a good deal on that yes we'll give you a great deal buy your oil from us

00:04:57.560 and everybody in nato would go hey that'll keep us off the teat of russia and china what do you say

00:05:04.620 we buy oil and gas from the united states so it's a good thing because just like all of the nato 0.90

00:05:11.760 conversations that they've been having with uh the eu if the united states has a national interest

00:05:18.920 at stake you want to go in and march across europe wait a minute they are a major factor to our economy

00:05:26.120 because they are buying our oil uh i don't think you're gonna do that are they this blind to not

00:05:33.220 understand what is happening now we're no longer gonna fight the wars just to fight wars no unless it's

00:05:41.340 in our national interest now it is in our national interest to have a strong west but not for free

00:05:49.240 gang no so i told you last week that he named the tariffs liberation day and i think that is because

00:05:57.000 after world war ii we had liberation day we had the day where everybody is free from the nazis and

00:06:03.400 and and everything else um and the united states did something that no country has ever ever ever

00:06:11.380 even considered doing first of all we became the broker to bring all of the art and everything else

00:06:17.380 back that had been stolen we didn't take those spoils for ourselves we returned them to the original

00:06:23.700 orders and we're still doing it it's incredible nobody has ever done that then we had the marshall plan

00:06:30.360 that was 13 billion dollars but in today's money that's 135 billion between 1948 1952 why what was it

00:06:40.000 we were rebuilding so they could have factories to open up for their people now an evil country company 0.99

00:06:47.980 would or country would just say no you're gonna buy everything from us you will be our slaves now we

00:06:54.000 rebuilt europe so they could have jobs and factories we helped them rebuild volkswagen and mercedes-benz

00:07:03.160 hello okay we didn't have any obligation to do it but we saw it as morally right so we did it

00:07:12.380 so we allowed the high tariffs on american goods while keeping ours low because it was good for them

00:07:19.520 and we also shouldered the burden of their defense through nato we spent billions of dollars annually

00:07:25.620 the the u.s defense spending accounts for 68 percent of nato's total budget roughly 560 billion dollars

00:07:35.480 last year alone meanwhile europe was prospering now why aren't they now because they had sugar daddy that

00:07:46.420 would be there for the old when you have a sugar daddy you tend to get lazy why are the american

00:07:52.420 people so lazy now because we have the united states government being everybody's sugar daddy

00:07:56.360 oh they'll just give it to me oh it doesn't matter if i make a mistake with trillions of dollars they'll

00:08:01.900 just bail me out that doesn't work okay it didn't work for them it's not working for us

00:08:08.680 so we we go down this road after liberation day the first time and we get to the 1970s and now we're

00:08:17.180 getting fat and sassy and we're like you know what we control the whole world we can just make stuff up

00:08:22.420 and so we decide to get off the gold standard because half of the politicians want to have big war

00:08:29.140 and the other half wants to have you know big uh big welfare state well you can't do both and like

00:08:37.840 any good parent our government said you can have both you know what you could have both yeah and so

00:08:45.180 we got off the gold standard but we played a trick on everybody okay when we got off the gold standard

00:08:51.120 everybody around the world went wait a minute wait a minute we hold your dollars because they're good

00:08:54.860 as good as gold we can turn a dollar in to your federal reserve or your treasury and we can demand

00:09:00.920 we get a dollar's worth of gold now you're saying you're not going to have that standard anymore so

00:09:06.080 i can't take a dollar and buy a dollar's worth of gold no but you can trust us oh run from those people

00:09:13.300 so we said we've made a special deal that's going to be super good for everybody we're gonna we're gonna

00:09:21.340 have u.s dollars become a petrodollar you'll only be able to buy saudi arabia's oils oil and oil from

00:09:29.780 opec by using a u.s dollar so it's as good as gold it's just black gold oh okay and then when that

00:09:38.720 didn't do enough we also said to them by the way we're going to also just come in and we're gonna

00:09:45.660 we're gonna buy all you know you bought maytag washing machines and everything else we're gonna move

00:09:50.760 maytag to your countries so you can build it and we'll become your buyers now we'll become the

00:09:58.080 buyer of the world okay you really that's not a good idea just to become the consumer of the world

00:10:06.280 eat eat eat eat eat no you also have to do some other things and we do export a lot of things but

00:10:14.520 we're not able to sustain ourselves every country should be able to sustain itself so we created the

00:10:23.460 demand for german machinery from japanese tvs and everything else the petrodollar made it happen

00:10:30.320 and then what happened our manufacturing jobs start dropping uh from 33 percent of the u.s employment

00:10:39.420 in 1950 now manufacturing jobs only eight percent and i'm not saying that manufacturing is the place

00:10:45.980 you ought to be but it's important to understand what else was happening at the same time because

00:10:53.060 of manufacturing our system was reshaped and this is again why donald trump is saying this is liberation

00:11:00.240 day our our our country was reshaped our society was shaped in subtler ways after world war one and

00:11:10.120 world war two we started having the assembly line and everything else and we retooled our education

00:11:16.260 now why why did we go from one of the world's best educators with the best educated in the world in

00:11:26.100 the history of the world to a bunch of just morons have you met the american people lately uh we're just

00:11:34.120 morons why because the giant corporations did not need thinkers they wanted just obedient workers

00:11:44.700 this is why and i just i want you to hold on to this because it explains everything about our education

00:11:52.220 system and you heard it a million times when you went to school boys and girls take out your pencils

00:11:59.260 and your paper and write this down because this will be on the test

00:12:03.540 what does that tell you that tells you the teacher is teaching to the test

00:12:10.540 and is teaching you what to think not how to think okay why because if you're in the assembly line

00:12:21.580 i don't need you to think just do it well but why why am i putting this and this together wouldn't it

00:12:27.560 be better no just do it okay you're not a thinker those people went to college they have a degree

00:12:34.520 that's why you couldn't get into business unless you had a college degree because you had to learn

00:12:40.360 how to think if you were going to work in the office upstairs above the factory all right so this

00:12:47.660 was all planned for this economy the way it was working now we spend more money per pupil

00:12:55.620 fourteen thousand eight hundred and twenty five dollars per pupil in 2022 yet we're 36th in math

00:13:04.200 13th in reading uh and uh we've created the most expensive and least effective educational system

00:13:11.820 the world has ever seen is that working for us is the way we fight our wars working for us because

00:13:19.560 we then also became the world's policemen after after world war ii we said you know what we'll take

00:13:25.160 care of this since the cold wars end we we have been fighting the same way that we were fighting back

00:13:33.440 in 1948 and 52 against the soviet union everything was geared for that big kind of war that's over

00:13:41.060 now it's over the u.s military spent six trillion dollars on military operations in the middle east

00:13:48.000 alone and what do we have to show for it strained alliances a new airport that china now has that

00:13:55.540 we gave to them in afghanistan and a ballooning national debt of 34 trillion dollars so now this

00:14:04.140 puts us into like the 1990s and we're seeing that this is going to start to come apart and this is

00:14:12.020 in the 80s ron reagan started talking about saying there's a debt and we're gonna have to pay this

00:14:16.920 someday and it's social security and everything else these things don't work the math doesn't work out

00:14:22.520 and he said soon after the turn of the century you will see it will all start to fall apart and we

00:14:27.380 will be out of good options we should fix it now and everybody said that but that's when they came

00:14:33.940 up with we got a lockbox we got a little lockbox we're putting all the money from social security

00:14:38.460 a little lockbox they don't have a lockbox okay that was a lie again but it was just to say we got

00:14:44.740 a lockbox so you can have it all no no so now we have 34 trillion dollars in debt and instead of

00:14:52.880 addressing the root causes what did our elites do this is the key to all of it you want to understand

00:15:00.260 what donald trump is trying to do this is the key to all of it sometime i think during the clinton

00:15:08.580 administration the elites understood that wait a minute this thing is not sustainable the way it's

00:15:15.920 running it's not sustainable and a lot of them didn't believe in the united states they didn't

00:15:20.420 believe in the freedom of the declaration of independence and our our bill of rights etc etc

00:15:25.360 and so they thought you know there's a lot of stuff bad about america so is it that bad that it's

00:15:32.640 going to pass away no but we don't want a revolution we don't want blood in the streets

00:15:36.960 so let's just manage the decline okay and we can even help it along enter the modern climate change

00:15:46.560 agenda which is not about saving the planet it is about helping the decline of the west

00:15:53.780 killing our energy supply all this esg social government standards dei uh even blm all of this

00:16:04.220 stuff is rooted in various social concerns but they're co-opted into a broader narrative decouple

00:16:11.420 america from its history its entrepreneurial spirit its faith everything that empowers the individual

00:16:19.760 and fosters self-reliance we've got to undermine it so this is the managed decline

00:16:26.800 and that is in stark contrast to what made america america because what what made us was we had a country

00:16:36.900 of stable laws we were unified not in our differences we were unified in the few principles

00:16:42.940 that we had in common our bill of rights so we had stable laws rooted in the long longest running

00:16:49.060 constitution in the world provided a predictable framework for business a stable government all of

00:16:56.300 this stuff educated populace hard-working ethical people that were god-fearing and abundant cheap energy

00:17:04.500 okay how much of that is true anymore you want to make america great you've got to fix those things

00:17:14.380 so what is donald trump really doing why would he say no europe i got you i see you're zero zero but

00:17:24.860 you're going to buy our oil as well his strategy is a radical departure from the post-war order

00:17:33.040 it's high stakes do not get me wrong but it's to force the world to renegotiate on america's terms

00:17:41.200 to shape the next chapter of the world when he rejected uh the zero for zero offer from europe he wasn't

00:17:51.200 just playing hardball he's signaling a new era by our energy we're your friends in the west let's help

00:18:02.060 each other this isn't a charity this is a partnership and when it's good for both sides then that's a great

00:18:10.040 partnership most favored nation status should mean mutual benefit not one-sided sacrifice

00:18:16.880 so his uh approach is really what they tried to do i guess with the american free trade agreement in 94

00:18:27.680 but that had so many flaws in it and everything else but it's can we just bring people together

00:18:35.160 that are friends and let's help each other all of us win now i want you to know agree or disagree

00:18:42.520 it's it's a it's really a a bold plan a very bold plan uh and a little frightening at times it's like

00:18:51.540 a roller coaster ride um but i kind of sit in the back seat and i'm like it's going to be interesting

00:18:56.920 to see how this all works out you know that's the way you have to it's the way if you're going to

00:19:01.780 survive you have to watch society be engaged at your level with your friends your family but you need

00:19:09.580 to say going to be interesting to see how they work this out i i have no idea how this goes but

00:19:14.740 this is a new dawn now and that's what you have to understand that's what he's shooting for a new dawn

00:19:20.020 the great reset except it's a reset in reverse instead of managing decline trump is aiming to save

00:19:28.500 the patient he believes and i believe you believe i think that our best days are not behind us they're

00:19:35.280 ahead and when you want to win big you have to risk big you know europe wasn't built with with a lot

00:19:46.960 of strings attached we did attach some strings um they're not rushing to our aid now nor should we

00:19:55.360 expect them to we don't need any foreign strings we need to stand on our own you know elon musk said

00:20:02.340 i hope the united states and europe can establish a very close partnership effectively creating a free

00:20:06.960 trade zone between europe and north america that's worth fighting for it is and if you see the world

00:20:16.100 i think the way the president sees it the way i see it right now this is a huge gamble to revitalize

00:20:23.300 our country to face the future and and have a promise for our kids that to me is a gamble worth taking

00:21:43.380 the glenn beck program did you see stew that uh gina carano has just uh won a lawsuit against disney

00:21:52.960 yeah that's a big that doesn't normally happen does it no it really has some big lawyers no uh and

00:21:59.400 there's a reason for that walt disney learned his uh lesson at about 19 i think 29 or 30 something

00:22:06.440 he had oswald the rabbit and uh he leaves them he leaves universal and he's like don't worry and

00:22:14.400 universal's like all right well go ahead and he's like we're not afraid because i got oswald the rabbit

00:22:20.080 and they're like no actually we have oswald the rabbit and he had already quit he had already put

00:22:26.020 the gears into motion and he had nothing oh he didn't realize he didn't own that he no he had no

00:22:31.520 idea so he gets on a train and his brother is freaking out in the west coast he's like wait a minute

00:22:36.220 what and he's like yeah well don't worry i got something else he had nothing he gets on the

00:22:42.220 train and he starts doodling and on a napkin he draws a mickey mouse this is why you love him so

00:22:46.780 much these stories oh yeah i love it yeah yeah he risked everything and he had actually nothing but

00:22:52.120 then he made it up afterwards and it all worked out it worked out anyway what are you saying uh anyway

00:22:56.960 uh uh so he's he he was bound and determined i will never be behind the eight ball ever again

00:23:06.220 so he created the nastiest uh attorney firm in the history of the world i don't think there's any

00:23:14.080 corporation that is more nasty than you know than than the disney corporation here we have two stories

00:23:20.720 now we have gina carano and the last time i saw somebody win was sage steel yeah that's right that's

00:23:26.920 two women that have beaten disney i think that's remarkable uh i wanted to call uh our good friend 0.94

00:23:35.100 sage steel get her on sage how are you hello glenn i'm great thank you and i'm so happy for gina it's

00:23:42.440 not over yet but this is a major battle right you won right she she actually now disney has to turn

00:23:48.920 over information about how everybody is uh you know paid on the mandalorian and any other star wars shows

00:23:56.220 um uh and they didn't want to do that but would you agree with me sage that that's just that's a

00:24:04.380 remarkable win absolutely it's a huge win and also i mean disney's delay tactics have just been

00:24:11.940 ongoing and they lost that too a couple of months ago when they were trying to get the lawsuit thrown

00:24:17.260 out all together and judge said let's go quit procrastinating and so this is massive because when

00:24:23.920 you look at how they paid other stars on these projects pedro pascal rosario dawson other people

00:24:30.360 um basically this is about disney trying to hide what they've been paying those people this whole time

00:24:36.680 um while allowing them to go off on social media and pedro pascal you know comparing donald trump to

00:24:42.920 hitler one of those and that's fine to do on your social media but gina carano gets fired so now that 1.00

00:24:48.500 they have to reveal these financial records this goes to show what gina would have made had they 1.00

00:24:53.360 not wrongly terminated her and this is a major major victory what is it like when you realize

00:25:01.820 oh good lord they're sending the mouse with the briefcase my way what is that like when you realize

00:25:08.980 you're in a lawsuit against disney well first of all filing the lawsuit against disney is not fun

00:25:16.140 right did everybody in the room when you said that would everybody go uh what did you just say

00:25:21.400 you're gonna do yeah you idiot yeah i mean david versus goliath for sure i mean i had disney i had 0.94

00:25:30.020 disney i had gina on my show last summer and i hadn't met her i of course had followed her story and

00:25:34.940 when we met we just hugged and it was an emotional episode because we both understood in a very unique

00:25:41.460 way that i hope many others don't have to understand the fear that comes with it but at some

00:25:46.580 point you get pushed around enough and you say no this is wrong and if i stay silent then it's on me

00:25:54.360 and then i know personally i couldn't have looked myself in the mirror and gina felt the same way and

00:25:59.420 she has worked so hard and done so professionally you know to the nth degree for all those years um

00:26:09.020 gina's the one thing i didn't have and my attorney is the best in the business brian friedman um who

00:26:15.440 represented megan kelly who represents tucker carlson who's representing justin baldoni against

00:26:19.740 crazy blake lively right now my attorney is the best and he is a dear friend of mine now too

00:26:24.980 gina has elon musk on her side like financially she's in a little different situation than me because 0.67

00:26:32.160 elon musk is putting the bill for her because he's standing up for what's right and the first amendment

00:26:36.860 so you look at gina what do you think you have what what what was it that you bonded with

00:26:46.120 on that episode that you did initially i think it was the obvious okay wow two people who stood up

00:26:54.680 to disney two women like yeah what happened like who are we what happened to our lives and it was just

00:27:00.560 that obvious bond because it was such a big deal and people going whoa um but more so it was the

00:27:09.780 betrayal that we felt coming from what we once thought was the best company on earth um and such an honor

00:27:19.600 to work with them and for them and then when you realize that you are just cast aside because you

00:27:27.920 didn't believe what they wanted us to believe which goes against everything they preach diversity

00:27:34.500 of thought and acceptance and inclusion and all of those things you realize that they were full of it

00:27:40.600 um and people that you looked up to people that you worked alongside for years and years and years

00:27:47.660 and what they said about you publicly and privately um certainly never to your face um there is just a

00:27:55.320 real sense of loss for relationships um because gina is as tough as they get i have realized that

00:28:02.280 i'm tougher than i thought never wanted to be but gina is as tough as they get and she was hurt um i think

00:28:08.680 that's kind of and this is not like oh woe is me we we never gina doesn't want sympathy this is about

00:28:14.260 what's right and calling these companies out and that's the other thing we bonded on is calling these

00:28:19.420 companies out the biggest companies in the world because if we don't and expose it because we have

00:28:25.220 the ability based on platforms that we've you know it's it's a blessings i've had these platforms right

00:28:30.840 if we don't use them to expose and therefore hopefully maybe fingers crossed prevent other

00:28:38.480 companies from doing the same bs to uh to these people women men anywhere doesn't matter black white 0.99

00:28:43.760 green blue lgbt i don't care just treat us equally and not punishing us if we don't agree with what

00:28:52.640 you say because by the way you're going to say this today and that tomorrow who can keep up right

00:28:57.300 diversity of thought first amendment and so we bonded over so much and i just i i admire her and her

00:29:03.880 courage to continue this because she completely threw her career away as well as people said i did but

00:29:10.120 look she's standing up for what's right and glenn i told you when we we were together last month

00:29:14.500 doing your show in texas the harder right versus the easier wrong gina is doing the harder right 1.00

00:29:21.240 and that takes courage i'm so honored to know her you know and i tell you it doesn't i i think you grow

00:29:26.920 from this you're you're seeing new success she's seeing new success and you have become bigger than

00:29:34.520 what you were in many ways because um you're now a human success story you're not you now have

00:29:41.800 experienced strife and trouble and come out the other side and realizing i didn't hurt so much i mean

00:29:48.540 it hurt but it didn't hurt like i thought i was gonna hurt i thought i was gonna burn myself up

00:29:53.040 uh and uh i didn't and so you become this the this additional success story that i think you know you

00:30:01.180 look at you look at the what's the woman who's now playing snow white whatever her name is yeah 1.00

00:30:06.800 um so you know they're not firing her which a must drive you nuts um they're not firing her and she 0.99

00:30:14.900 tubed the crown jewel i mean next to mickey mouse it is snow white um and that's the that's the movie

00:30:24.480 that built that company and uh for her to go in and destroy the story of snow white all of that money 1.00

00:30:34.140 because you guys weren't bleeding money on on you and your your point of view or her point of view

00:30:40.200 absolutely not right absolutely not i mean you figure no matter who's in office about half the

00:30:46.380 country agrees with you right which means the other half disagrees it's usually right down the middle

00:30:51.180 and they could have gotten out of that mess with rachel i think over a year ago when she first

00:30:56.080 started to mouth off and maybe too much had been invested if nothing else why don't you at least

00:31:00.300 have a chat okay fine don't fire her like you did us or and i didn't get fired i mean i i we settled my

00:31:05.060 lawsuit and i chose to leave um gina was fired though rachel was allowed to stay much worse than i think 1.00

00:31:11.520 gina ever said and i don't know who could disagree with that and you could show the direct damages you

00:31:16.720 could show the damages look at the numbers exactly and they chose to stick with her and now look so

00:31:22.500 you reap what you sow for sure but the double standard is the reason what must be what must

00:31:27.760 be called out and they could have at least pulled rachel aside and said we need you to camp down a little 0.94

00:31:33.380 bit this isn't good for business uh maybe they didn't she didn't listen if so okay that's a whole

00:31:38.020 other story but to your point about like what you gain when you do stand up um you realize it's just a

00:31:45.860 lot bigger than you yeah and that's and when people come up to gina and and and come up to me

00:31:51.700 and i've had fathers come up to me because they've been afraid to stand up for their daughters in sports

00:31:56.320 and why are boys competing against their daughter because they're afraid to go to the school board

00:31:59.360 meeting and get fired the fear is real like we know that so i am so grateful um that i chose to stand

00:32:08.560 up and i know gina is because the people that you are affecting just by doing that standing up in her

00:32:13.900 case for freedom of true freedom of speech it is everything that's so much bigger than any career

00:32:19.580 i could have dreamt of having and same with her disney is getting their comeuppance and they

00:32:25.040 need to and they seem to it's so obvious they do this to themselves and that is why so many people

00:32:31.340 were more than okay to see what's happening with the snow white debacle shame on them uh i may switch

00:32:38.260 subject here for a second stew um i'm doing something with the diesel brothers uh here in

00:34:57.040 glenn beck program amy's with us amy pardons hill senior political correspondent author of fight

00:35:06.320 inside the wildest battle for the white house amy how are you hi glenn good thanks for having me

00:35:11.880 you bet uh so you know i can we play the uh can we play just that little collage of all the people

00:35:19.400 that said this wasn't happening do we have that can we play that real quick joe biden has a vision

00:35:24.600 he has knowledge he has a strategic thinker this is a very sharp president in terms of his public

00:35:33.640 presentation if he makes a slip of the tongue here or there what's the deal you're asking me my

00:35:38.960 personal opinion uh he is sharp uh he is on top of things he when we have uh meetings with him with

00:35:46.000 his staff he's constantly pushing us getting trying to get more information i can tell you this was the

00:35:50.860 day before that interview i can tell you he was sharper than anyone i've spoken to about a very

00:35:56.040 this was happening all the time amy everyone was saying how sharp he is that is that was according

00:36:03.220 your book just absolutely not true and everybody in the white house knew that how how go ahead

00:36:10.100 yeah no it was uh it's something that we really dug into in reporting out this book um and we had

00:36:17.280 questions about what interactions certain people had with the president we we detail how eric swalwell a

00:36:25.060 congressman from california for example attended a congressional picnic with uh the president a year before the

00:36:32.120 debate debacle a disaster and um and he had to almost remind then president biden who he was and this

00:36:40.460 was someone who he competed against in the 2020 presidential election um he should know who he is um and

00:36:47.400 there's detail after detail about that in this book you know that you in your book you talk about how

00:36:53.880 there were bets being paid how they were looking you know shopping for judges on who was going to swear

00:36:58.640 her in they thought he was going to die before the election um i mean did you did you get the sense

00:37:06.640 from anyone while you're researching this book that anyone thought maybe this isn't really good for the

00:37:12.200 constitution i mean that's why right now you're seeing a lot of errors um thrown in the direction

00:37:18.960 excuse me of the the former president and his aides um people are really really upset about they think

00:37:26.340 it's a cover-up they think that you know they should have been more candid even within their own party

00:37:31.100 about the president's cognitive abilities um and you know glenn i i covered the president for a long time

00:37:39.420 um and i tried to get us after the story and the white house was constantly i know my colleagues were as

00:37:46.420 well it's not like any of us were asleep at the switch but the white house would batter us uh when we

00:37:51.920 asked questions about his mental acuity and his age it was a constant constant battle but was there

00:37:58.380 was there anybody that knew that should have spoken out i mean in the press or anything i mean it's one

00:38:05.400 thing to it's one thing to speculate it's one thing to i hear rumors but and if you're you're shut off

00:38:12.800 from it but you know in the white house it seems like there were quite a few people that knew this is a

00:38:19.740 disaster yeah a who's who's running the country at that point who was the president this close set

00:38:27.900 of advisors kept him really close and that's why i think you didn't see him as much right now president

00:38:34.880 trump is out there talking to reporters every day i think the press corps wanted to see biden do some

00:38:41.400 similar things and take a similar media approach and he did not um you know and and we we detail in

00:38:47.720 the book you know there's there's a fundraiser where someone you know says that he he looks like he's

00:38:53.620 going to die at the fundraiser there are other moments where um you know we we take you inside

00:39:00.540 phil murphy's house and we detail how he's speaking to just a couple of a couple dozen fundraisers

00:39:08.680 at a small house and he needs fluorescent tape on the floor to guide him from place to place he needs a

00:39:15.700 teleprompter you know these aren't common things for at a house at a house yes um and you know makeup

00:39:25.180 when he this is this was another revelation in our book whenever he traveled overseas he was met with a

00:39:31.040 makeup artist that was his first order of business sometimes he met me he missed meetings because the

00:39:36.580 makeup artist was there um to touch him up they were clearly concerned about the optics around his age

00:39:44.560 and around his mental acuity you you write in one point that the makeup artist he goes in he sits

00:39:50.660 down for the makeup and then he calls it a day and that was it yeah yeah and you know these are aides

00:39:56.260 that were talking to us about this obviously they knew about it and they said at times he looked really

00:40:01.480 frazzled he would get out of the limousine and you know would look around and would would know where

00:40:07.300 he was um and so yeah it was it's very startling even to the people who uh were telling us these

00:40:14.000 stories but you know it's one thing to be um it's one thing to go yeah that was really weird and i guess

00:40:21.520 it's another to realize that is the man that has to make the decision um you know for the country god

00:40:29.680 forbid were attacked or whatever um and he's not there there was was there anyone inside fighting

00:40:37.400 and saying we have got to alert the american people we have to invoke the 25th amendment is 25th isn't it

00:40:45.500 so um yeah we've got to invoke the 25th amendment this isn't right the people have in have put their

00:40:53.060 power in this man he is no longer capable of making these decisions i think a lot of people would

00:41:00.860 have had respect for that instead i walk away going was there no one that cared about the constitution

00:41:07.740 and cared about what could have happened with this guy in charge no and and i think that's why

00:41:15.620 you're seeing so much uh fire aimed at uh his close set of advisors right now because they could

00:41:21.700 have been more candid and um you know democrats in general i think were confused as to his cognitive

00:41:28.400 abilities i think the reason he wanted to do this debate and his advisors wanted to do this debate

00:41:33.200 earlier the one this disastrous one in june last year is because they wanted they knew that he was

00:41:39.020 losing the polls obviously they wanted to change the trajectory of this race and they thought that

00:41:45.260 that was a moment that could help him um instead it brought out you know it showed it on display

00:41:51.920 everything uh for the american public so i honestly thought for the longest time that they did that

00:41:58.920 knowing somebody was like no let's put him on the stage and let's do it now before you know things

00:42:05.780 get completely out of hand and he's going to be running for uh re-election i i really thought they put

00:42:11.700 him on stage that early because i'd never seen that happen before in american politics put him on

00:42:15.920 stage that early so he would be exposed and everybody would be like okay we can't run him

00:42:21.860 or no and what's fascinating glenn is that we take you inside i mean we open the book inside nancy

00:42:27.640 pelosi's living room and she's watching the debate alone she had warned president biden at the time she

00:42:33.680 said oh you don't want to debate trump and she you know mentioned it under the guise of oh why would

00:42:38.840 you belittle yourself and appear on stage with him but she knows and jim cliburn who's also watching

00:42:45.380 the debate alone in his living room and we take you inside there he's having a drink and watching it

00:42:50.040 they're all alone they're not at some debate watch party together because they almost know what is

00:42:55.440 about to happen they're watching the train wreck unfold bit by bit and alone so what do we do

00:43:03.580 to ensure this let me ask you before i ask you that again try again who was running the country

00:43:11.960 that's that's a very good question i think you know his obviously his close set of advisors had a

00:43:20.840 great big role in that um you see ron clain these days sort of trying to distance himself he was the

00:43:27.300 former chief of staff trying to distance himself from the optics of uh what was happening um but

00:43:34.000 it's not but it's really not optics it is the truth somebody was making decisions because the

00:43:41.320 president could you know i've i was always fascinated in history by woodrow wilson edith wilson ran the

00:43:48.340 white house for a while but it was his own party that came in because it was the same thing people like

00:43:53.960 rumors and they're like i don't think he's really there uh and he wasn't seen for a long time and

00:43:59.880 so the leadership of the party came finally forced the first lady uh and said because she was saying 1.00

00:44:07.260 he's going to run for a third term and they said no no or we'll expose all of this right now he's not

00:44:12.720 running for another term um uh you know but it seems to be the same thing i'm wondering how many

00:44:19.240 presidents have we had that you know nobody seems to really care that the elected official

00:44:25.420 isn't actually doing what that official is supposed to do they're just some unelected people just making

00:44:32.400 the decisions yeah and the fact of the matter is glenn i mean you see the president the former

00:44:37.220 president has all but disappeared from public view since leaving office and i think that also speaks

00:44:42.680 volumes um about his state of mind was was kamala uh that in the note which i mean if if god forbid

00:44:53.720 something would have happened yeah who would have grabbed the football who would have been the one

00:44:58.480 it would have been kamala harris and that's sort of why i mean you teased this earlier but her 1.00

00:45:03.420 communications director would carry around this spreadsheet of republican judges um because he felt

00:45:11.320 almost that like she had to be validated in that moment and only a republican judge could really

00:45:17.040 swear her in and um and have that validation um from republicans he thought that there was no way that

00:45:24.180 um such a divisive country um you know and people would support her and so we detail how he came into

00:45:33.480 that role with the spreadsheet he traveled with it the dnc had plans in case um something happened to the

00:45:40.660 president um and we exposed all of this for the first time in this book hey can you find any because

00:45:46.020 i'm i'm a i'm a self-taught you know historian but i'm pretty good at it i've never seen anything like

00:45:53.000 this in american history have you it's pretty remarkable it's really unprecedented and it was

00:45:59.840 really interesting to report out you know i think people have questions about the media and how we went

00:46:05.520 about reporting this and it's it's almost like the president needed to leave office for people to

00:46:11.820 actually admit what was happening and and tell us stories that's what's interesting i think you know

00:46:18.280 when you cover a president they're always worried that the white house is going to come down hard on

00:46:22.580 them um and so they're they're less prone to want to tell you things and then when they leave office

00:46:29.480 this this is when the floodgates open up um is anybody going to be held accountable for this

00:46:35.440 i mean i think right now the party that's why you're seeing the democratic party scrambling i think

00:46:41.860 first of all they need to come out and and admit what had happened here and almost look themselves in

00:46:48.200 the mirror and talk about joe biden the other day jake tapper asked tim walls about it and tim walls kind

00:46:53.900 of just around the question i think they need to be very frank about what was happening and what

00:47:00.780 they were witnessing and they they don't they don't want to do that right now you know it's

00:47:05.160 interesting to me i just told this story on the air because people are kicking around donald trump

00:47:08.960 wants to run for a third term no no that's against the constitution and that that that was put there for

00:47:14.700 a very uh clear reason and it wasn't put in there by the republicans it was put in by the democrats

00:47:20.840 fdr's own party when they saw what had happened to the presidency it just gained far too much power

00:47:29.020 and it's not good for anybody when that happens um and you know here you have as soon as fdr died

00:47:36.880 that's when all the democrats were like okay okay we got to make sure that doesn't happen again

00:47:40.840 but they were for him when he was alive right it seems to be kind of the same thing here that

00:47:46.020 everybody was like okay it's cool uh but is anybody going to step up now and say this cannot

00:47:54.560 happen ever again i think that's what has to happen glenn someone has to take responsibility for it

00:48:01.520 and um no one is and i'm curious to see how the democrats reckon with this

00:48:06.660 um uh amy thank you very much i'm glad somebody uh finally told the story and and got the story it's

00:48:14.200 it is if we don't fix this it's just going to happen again and it'll happen with the other

00:48:18.480 party i mean it just it will i mean you give people in in power an inch they are going to take

00:48:24.360 a mile and uh this cannot happen this just cannot happen again amy thank you so much thank you glenn

00:48:31.080 you bet amy parnes fight inside the wildest battle for the white house 1.00

00:48:35.380 claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my match all week she was so 0.99

00:48:44.600 focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side

00:48:48.980 good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the

00:48:55.060 country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time
