Summary

Glenn Beck is joined by the one and only Gavin Gav Ginnis to talk about why the Dems are still trying to figure out why they lost the election and why they don t have a candidate to run against Hillary Clinton in 2020.

Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, Richard. Great to speak to you.
00:00:09.120 Ever wish your office came with a quiet button?
00:00:12.240 That's what it feels like to step inside a soundproof office booth.
00:00:15.840 Like putting on noise-canceling headphones, except you can still take a call, run a meeting,
00:00:20.960 or focus without distraction. Soundproof, private, ready when you are.
00:00:25.600 Search Bureau office booths or head to withbureau.com.
00:00:30.140 Hey, Dems still don't understand why they lost the election.
00:00:34.380 I thought we'd just take some examples from today's news and then just ask a question.
00:00:41.260 I don't think you're really looking that hard.
00:00:43.820 You keep using that phrase. I don't think it means what you think it means.
00:00:47.500 How did we lose?
00:00:49.480 Senator Eric Schmidt is here to talk about the Senate and what's going to happen with Matt Gaetz, etc., etc.
00:00:55.840 And the one and only Gavin McGinnis joins us for some laughs on Are We the Cool Kids All of a Sudden?
00:01:02.600 All on today's Best Of podcast, which begins in 60 seconds.
00:01:06.840 These days, it seems like so much of the business world is bowed down to the leftist mission to spread wokeism.
00:01:13.300 It's hard to find a company that's not part of it, but Patriot Mobile is one of those companies, clearly.
00:01:18.040 And I am proud to be their friends and to be their spokesperson.
00:01:20.980 They put cause ahead of profits, and that's one reason we're proud to partner with them.
00:01:26.160 They offer nationwide, dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.
00:01:31.200 But you get the same coverage.
00:01:33.080 You get exactly the same everything except at a lower price.
00:01:37.540 And you're not sending your money so they can take it and distribute it to places like Planned Parenthood.
00:01:45.260 They work for our side in the Bill of Rights.

00:02:22.800 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:27.480 All right.
00:02:28.080 So I find this incredible.
00:02:30.860 This is from Yahoo News.
00:02:32.820 Kamala Harris is the top choice of Democrat voters to be the party's nominee for the 2028 presidential election, according to a new poll.
00:02:41.060 What?
00:02:44.020 What?
00:02:45.220 Do it.
00:02:46.120 Do it.
00:02:46.580 You're right.
00:02:47.380 You're right.
00:02:47.720 Run it back.
00:02:48.800 Yeah.
00:02:49.340 Ms. Harris was significantly ahead of Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Pete Buttigieg.
00:02:55.100 By the way, can I just say, you know, these people are so unqualified to run any of these departments that Donald Trump is nominated.
00:03:04.420 Pete Buttigieg, a person they mocked, the Biden campaign, mocked for having no qualifications.
00:03:13.220 No qualifications.
00:03:13.960 Then they gave him the transportation secretary.
00:03:15.680 And he became the worst one we've ever had.
00:03:18.360 HHS secretary.
00:03:19.680 Who do we get?
00:03:20.800 A guy who thinks he's a woman.
00:03:22.980 I mean, come on, guys.
00:03:24.680 Come on.
00:03:25.400 OK, so they don't know why they lost.
00:03:28.620 And they're now saying that Kamala should be the not.
00:03:31.140 This is the majority in a poll.
00:03:32.920 The majority of Democrats think that they go this way again.
00:03:37.020 Guys, do it.
00:03:38.700 Do it, please.
00:03:40.480 So Katie Couric was on with.
00:03:44.340 Oh, what's her name from MSNBC?
00:03:47.280 She used to be Jen Psaki.
00:03:50.120 She used to be with the White House.
00:03:51.920 And they were talking.
00:03:53.160 They're like, I don't know what happened.
00:03:54.320 I'm so frustrated.
00:03:55.500 What happened?
00:03:56.980 And Couric says, I think it was her word salads.
00:03:59.720 She just didn't answer any question.
00:04:01.380 Well, that's part of it.
00:04:03.420 But could I could I just try to boil it down for the Democrats one last time?
00:04:12.780 OK.
00:04:13.100 Let me give you some today scenarios, not in the past, things that are happening today that
00:04:21.520 are making you the party of the whigs.
00:04:24.880 Here we are.
00:04:26.080 House Democrats are rebuking a proposal for a ban for an incoming transgender lawmaker from
00:04:32.360 using female bathrooms at the Capitol, calling the effort a distraction from the real work
00:04:37.940 people want to see done.
00:04:39.020 Democrats were quick to blast Nancy Mace, a rape victim for her bill that dropped on
00:04:47.340 Monday, which targeted Representative-elect Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, the
00:04:52.800 first transgender member of Congress.
00:04:55.700 However, despite outraged posts on social media and calling the GOP proposals bullying, several
00:05:01.220 Democratic members are saying that they are better to do things with their time than to
00:05:05.520 respond to a petty move.
00:05:06.860 They are wanting this guy who claims to be a woman to be able to use the Congressional
00:05:13.300 Women's Bathroom.
00:05:14.800 Now, this this guy has his own potty in his office.
00:05:19.800 So does Nancy Mace.
00:05:21.060 So it's not really even a problem unless Nancy Mace wants to go in, you know, with with everybody
00:05:27.800 else and, you know, not use the one in her office.
00:05:30.460 Sometimes that happens.
00:05:31.600 You know, she doesn't want a guy in there.
00:05:35.100 She's been raped.
00:05:37.060 But beyond that, this is not what the American people want to talk about.
00:05:41.080 OK, they don't they they they care now where they didn't care before about transgenderism
00:05:48.320 and all this stuff.
00:05:49.100 Once you started mutilating our children, once you started forcing people to say, not only
00:05:55.940 is that a woman, but my gosh, one of the most beautiful women.
00:06:00.740 Have you seen Rachel Levine?
00:06:03.920 She is.
00:06:04.660 Oh, my gosh.
00:06:05.940 She is hot.
00:06:06.940 She should be on the cover of Vogue.
00:06:08.640 I look at Melania Trump on Melania Trump.
00:06:12.680 Do have I seen Rachel Levine every time in my bedroom?
00:06:15.280 There's a poster hanging up over the bed.
00:06:17.280 Of course.
00:06:17.880 I don't even look at my wife.
00:06:19.000 If I close my eyes and think of Rachel Levine.
00:06:21.580 OK, so there's one.
00:06:23.360 Here's the other one.
00:06:24.120 The woman who was an original founder of La Leche League.
00:06:29.860 Now, what is La Leche all about?
00:06:33.560 La Leche is all about mother's breast milk.
00:06:38.180 That's what they fight for.
00:06:40.040 Mother's breast milk.
00:06:42.000 Now, they've decided to include men as chest feeders.
00:06:49.080 Well, when guys can start to make mother's breast milk, let me know.
00:06:54.780 But that's what the whole organization is about.
00:06:58.400 Mother's milk.
00:07:01.020 And you're including chest feeders, men?
00:07:06.240 OK, I wonder what happened.
00:07:08.860 How did he win?
00:07:10.220 What happened?
00:07:10.880 How did we lose America?
00:07:13.520 Example number two, chest feeders.
00:07:18.640 Here's another one.
00:07:21.000 What city can withstand all of the illegals that have come across the border?
00:07:30.320 Which one can afford it?
00:07:32.180 Which one is rolling in the dough?
00:07:34.140 And they're like, you know what?
00:07:35.240 We got so much money and we're so open hearted.
00:07:38.580 We just want all of them up here.
00:07:40.880 And we're not going to put anybody in jail ever.
00:07:44.700 OK, which city?
00:07:46.000 Is it Chicago?
00:07:47.160 Because I know Chicago, the minorities are now standing up going, wait a minute.
00:07:52.480 You're giving all these people all this stuff.
00:07:54.600 You never did jack for us.
00:07:56.400 And we're citizens.
00:07:58.140 OK, not working out, Chicago.
00:07:59.860 And yet you're doubling down now after the election.
00:08:03.480 Before the election, we're like, oh, we're going to collapse if this continues to go.
00:08:07.000 We need we need Biden to, you know, do some common sense.
00:08:10.240 And that's why we're we're for him closing the borders.
00:08:13.080 You know, it's he's got less people coming over right now than Donald Trump did.
00:08:16.980 I'll tell you that right now.
00:08:17.920 And they were all for that.
00:08:20.140 Now Donald Trump gets in and they are we're going to there's not a policeman in this town
00:08:27.700 that will because we're all for it.
00:08:30.740 Are you now?
00:08:32.180 Are you?
00:08:33.240 Here's what I'm for.
00:08:34.360 If you want to violate federal law, common sense, federal law, this isn't a this is not
00:08:41.820 something that's controversial.
00:08:43.780 What is it?
00:08:44.520 Seventy, 80 percent say, hey, we can't live this way.
00:08:48.320 Your own people are crying out for an end to the crime and to illegal immigration and to
00:08:56.600 the tax dollars that you are spending.
00:08:58.940 I say if you want to go there, fine, you do whatever you want.
00:09:02.340 You be you, boo.
00:09:03.060 You, California, Illinois, you keep going.
00:09:05.840 Oh, I'm so proud of you.
00:09:07.000 Look, it was so cute.
00:09:08.440 We all know how that's going to end.
00:09:10.100 Your own people know how that's going to end.
00:09:13.220 But you want to do that?
00:09:14.760 That's fine.
00:09:15.820 I just suggest that you don't get a federal dollar for anything.
00:09:21.300 You can't do that.
00:09:22.420 I hate that.
00:09:23.120 Really?
00:09:23.480 Aren't you the same people that were preaching the 55 mile an hour speed limit forever?
00:09:28.180 You're not going to get a dollar of federal funding unless it's 55 miles an hour.
00:09:34.300 So don't don't.
00:09:35.760 That was Jimmy Carter.
00:09:37.040 Don't talk to me.
00:09:38.340 Don't talk to me.
00:09:39.400 Talk to the hand.
00:09:40.320 And that's what you are saying to your common sense voters.
00:09:46.700 Los Angeles, New York, New York.
00:09:49.840 The mayor of New York was saying we're going to collapse.
00:09:54.100 Now we're not letting a single person go.
00:09:56.760 We love them.
00:09:57.740 Come on over here.
00:09:58.600 I always want to give you a big squeeze.
00:10:00.900 Uh-huh.
00:10:01.860 Okay.
00:10:02.960 What else?
00:10:04.100 What else?
00:10:05.020 Now these are not, I'm not going back to the past.
00:10:07.240 I'm going to the things that are happening right now.
00:10:11.160 The public school district in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, said it mistakenly released the
00:10:17.260 names of close to 100 elementary schools whose families opted them out of the controversial
00:10:22.840 sex education program last year.
00:10:25.940 Oopsie.
00:10:27.260 Oopsie.
00:10:27.820 Did we dox them?
00:10:28.880 We didn't mean to.
00:10:30.300 We keep that file in a super, super, super, super secret place.
00:10:34.340 We keep it over.
00:10:35.060 It's it's locked.
00:10:36.140 Nobody's ever going to know.
00:10:37.560 That's going to be super secret.
00:10:39.700 Did we just release those names?
00:10:42.100 Oh, my gosh.
00:10:42.900 And I'm shocked.
00:10:44.440 I am shocked that somebody hacked in to the Congress and got those facts on Matt
00:10:51.420 Gate.
00:10:51.900 And now Matt Gates is going to be exposed.
00:10:54.800 I am shocked and horrified.
00:10:57.520 Mm hmm.
00:10:58.380 Are you?
00:10:59.060 So another reason you weaponized the federal government, you weaponized it.
00:11:06.000 And every time something happened, you were like, oh, that was a mistake.
00:11:10.380 Then if you didn't weaponize it, if it's all mistakes, you are the worst.
00:11:17.300 We cannot stand another day of people running the country that make this many mistakes because
00:11:25.280 they're kind of important ones.
00:11:26.920 OK, so what else?
00:11:30.340 Why else did you lose?
00:11:32.220 Well, I want to tell you about the super hot, sexy Jaguar.
00:11:36.920 Here is the latest ad for Jaguar.
00:11:42.080 It's an elevator full of a guy with a tutu on and a guy who looks like he has a dress.
00:11:51.080 Now he's wearing a dress.
00:11:53.460 Live vivid.
00:11:55.880 Delete ordinary.
00:11:57.380 Is that a male or a female?
00:11:58.820 Is that a male or a female?
00:12:00.500 Or is that the one that used to run our nuclear?
00:12:03.280 That's the luggage dealer.
00:12:04.780 OK.
00:12:06.880 OK.
00:12:07.960 Copy nothing.
00:12:09.280 So, so far, we didn't see a car.
00:12:12.220 And that's the end.
00:12:13.120 And there is no car in the ad.
00:12:15.600 I don't know what they're selling, but it's not a car.
00:12:19.200 Shocking they would do that today.
00:12:20.840 Like three years ago.
00:12:22.280 Maybe.
00:12:22.640 Maybe I could have seen it.
00:12:23.920 Like the fact that they're doing that in 2025.
00:12:27.360 Who owns Jaguar?
00:12:30.340 That's a good question.
00:12:31.320 I don't know.
00:12:31.960 I think it's still Ford, isn't it?
00:12:33.420 Or whoever owns Ford now.
00:12:35.740 It's the same company as Ford.
00:12:39.900 So, I don't know.
00:12:43.160 What are you selling?
00:12:43.840 I thought you were selling cars.
00:12:45.320 When you sell a car.
00:12:47.600 It's Tata or Tata Motors, an Indian automotive manufacturing company that acquired Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in 2008.
00:12:55.680 OK.
00:12:56.220 All right.
00:12:56.800 So, it's Tata's.
00:12:58.480 It's Tata's.
00:12:59.480 Tata's.
00:13:00.060 You know, watching that, I can understand.
00:13:01.780 Tata's seems like the right name.
00:13:02.600 But they've been strangely sewn on men, those Tata's.
00:13:05.980 Yes.
00:13:06.620 So, when you're selling a Jaguar, you're selling it to guys.
00:13:10.620 And you're selling that car based on sex appeal.
00:13:14.960 All right.
00:13:15.780 Guys, when they can afford a nice Jaguar, they're usually having a midlife crisis.
00:13:22.160 And they're like, I got to have something sexy that makes me feel young.
00:13:26.760 And a guy in a dress doesn't make a guy feel young and hot.
00:13:33.020 OK.
00:13:34.140 So.
00:13:34.580 A certain type of guy probably does.
00:13:36.420 Probably does.
00:13:37.160 And I guess that's who they're trying to appeal to.
00:13:38.940 Right.
00:13:39.260 No longer the James Bond type.
00:13:41.540 That's with every hot spy.
00:13:43.280 That's right.
00:13:43.920 Right.
00:13:44.200 Right.
00:13:44.740 Now.
00:13:45.040 Because the majority of people that are buying Jaguars are transgender.
00:13:49.860 Yes.
00:13:50.160 Or just neutral.
00:13:50.880 85%.
00:13:51.240 Yeah.
00:13:51.640 85%.
00:13:52.400 That is.
00:13:53.240 Why are you losing?
00:13:55.000 Because you don't know who your customer is.
00:13:58.440 You have no idea.
00:14:00.340 You are denying who your customer is.
00:14:03.480 And your customer is like, wait, I, but I'm, hold it.
00:14:07.340 I thought I was voting for the people that were against these never ending wars.
00:14:11.020 What are, what?
00:14:12.800 No, you, you have completely forgotten who your customer is.
00:14:17.100 Now, let's go another one.
00:14:19.360 Colorado has paid now $1.5 million for violating an artist's First Amendment rights after the SCOTUS case that just came down.
00:14:29.220 There was a website design.
00:14:31.460 And, uh, they had to pay this person $1.5 million because they violated, uh, the First Amendment rights.
00:14:39.860 Graphic designer.
00:14:41.820 Uh, she was, uh, asked to, as a Christian, marriage is supposed to be between male and female.
00:14:49.520 And, uh, they wanted, you know, to, uh, do a same-sex wedding website.
00:14:54.980 And she said, no, they targeted her.
00:14:57.100 And then dragged this person through the court and tried to destroy her life.
00:15:02.860 So, this goes to the weaponization of our justice system.
00:15:07.580 You're destroying people.
00:15:09.420 Now, I don't know about you, but, uh, I know a lot of gay people who are just like, I've had it up to here.
00:15:17.480 Okay?
00:15:18.060 This is not my agenda.
00:15:19.840 I just want to get along.
00:15:21.840 Just leave me alone.
00:15:24.240 You know, I am a normal human being.
00:15:27.220 I'm not for this.
00:15:28.440 And, by the way, let me ask you.
00:15:29.840 Who wants somebody to make something for you that just doesn't have their heart into it?
00:15:37.300 Doesn't hate you.
00:15:38.160 Just doesn't have their heart into it.
00:15:40.060 You know what that, you know what that looks like?
00:15:41.860 That ends up looking like a Jaguar ad.
00:15:44.680 Okay?
00:15:45.420 Where you're like, I don't even recognize.
00:15:47.580 That's not.
00:15:48.280 Have you ever.
00:15:48.900 I did this at CNN.
00:15:51.220 I asked somebody at CNN to write a piece on the strength of Ronald Reagan.
00:15:58.400 It was the week he died.
00:15:59.940 And I got it.
00:16:00.940 And it was the worst piece of crap.
00:16:02.820 And it was one of our best writers.
00:16:04.040 Worst piece of crap I've ever.
00:16:05.060 And I called him up and I said, Hal, what the hell happened?
00:16:08.140 Did you just phone this one in?
00:16:09.380 He said, Glenn, I worked harder on that one than I ever have.
00:16:12.760 He said, I don't like Ronald Reagan.
00:16:14.760 I don't understand why everybody loves him.
00:16:18.040 I did the best I could.
00:16:19.940 And I saw he really did.
00:16:22.000 He did.
00:16:22.600 I couldn't be mad at him.
00:16:24.080 He didn't get it.
00:16:26.920 Why would you want somebody to make a website for you that really, truly doesn't get it?
00:16:35.340 Doesn't get your point of view.
00:16:36.840 And, of course, that's not what they wanted.
00:16:38.340 No, they didn't.
00:16:38.960 They wanted everybody to bow down.
00:16:42.220 Bow down, get a lawsuit, whatever it was.
00:16:44.320 Right.
00:16:44.540 I'm just going over the things that are happening today.
00:16:46.740 Not in the past.
00:16:48.140 Today.
00:16:49.380 Katie Couric.
00:16:50.040 I don't understand.
00:16:51.660 Well, give me five more minutes, Katie.
00:16:54.520 And if you don't get it after five more minutes, it's because you don't want to get it.
00:16:58.580 Oh.
00:16:59.880 Wow.
00:17:00.300 I haven't even considered that.
00:17:01.940 You just want to say that we're stupid and you're brilliant and you don't really want to find a real answer.
00:17:08.880 It's not an honest search.
00:17:10.460 That can't be, Katie Couric.
00:17:11.960 I'm going to speak slowly, Katie, so you can understand because I know you're on an honest search.
00:17:18.660 What is it that caused the Democrats to lose?
00:17:23.920 Well, let me just give you two things in the news today.
00:17:26.340 Democrats have launched an 11-hour campaign to kneecap the Jewish state.
00:17:31.820 Okay.
00:17:32.200 All right.
00:17:32.580 That probably is another reason.
00:17:34.600 Know your customer.
00:17:36.380 Know your voter.
00:17:37.200 Ocasio-Cortez hammered with accusations of anti-Semitism after she blames Jewish groups for the Democrats' loss.
00:17:44.840 Well, that's another reason probably why you lost and you're going to lose again.
00:17:49.760 The Democrats all say, you know, the DOJ is going to be there.
00:17:54.420 They're going to watch every single count.
00:17:57.800 They're going to make sure everything is done legally.
00:18:00.160 How come they're not going after the people in Pennsylvania?
00:18:03.640 Don't answer that.
00:18:04.680 We all know why.
00:18:05.600 Because they don't mean what they say and say what they mean.
00:18:10.600 That's why.
00:18:12.640 I mean, it's just that simple.
00:18:15.060 We got to get everybody to drive a green car.
00:18:17.620 Nobody's buying them.
00:18:19.000 If you want a green car, you're going to buy a Tesla.
00:18:21.940 Everything else is worthless.
00:18:25.820 I can't touch it.
00:18:27.520 You know what?
00:18:28.240 It was probably talk radio and all of the Internet.
00:18:34.360 Uh-huh.
00:18:35.600 Once upon a time, there was no pain.
00:18:39.160 It hadn't been invented yet.
00:18:40.760 And then some chick went and ate an apple off a tree.
00:18:45.120 Look, I'm not saying it was a woman, but it was a woman.
00:18:48.200 And ever since, aches and pains and death are a reality.
00:18:52.640 Sucks.
00:18:53.660 But women can't live with them.
00:18:56.560 Fortunately, there's relief factor.
00:19:00.000 It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which was one of the sources of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease as well.
00:19:08.820 It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain, whether it's neck, back, joint, muscle pain.
00:19:15.820 It can help you feel better.
00:19:17.740 Relief factor.
00:19:19.060 Over a million people have tried it, so stop masking your pain and start fighting back naturally.
00:19:24.440 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
00:19:26.860 So give it a try right now.
00:19:28.620 They've got a three-week quick start.
00:19:29.920 It's $19.95.
00:19:31.220 That's less than a dollar a day.

00:19:38.080 800-4-RELIEF.
00:19:41.040 Now, back to the podcast.
00:19:42.760 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:47.660 We go now to Senator Eric Schmidt.
00:19:51.160 He used to be the AG in Missouri.
00:19:55.320 He is fantastic and a fantastic senator from Missouri.
00:19:59.820 We welcome you now to the program to talk a little bit about some of these.
00:20:04.600 Well, first of all, let's just start with Matt Gaetz.
00:20:07.360 What are you expecting with Gaetz, Senator?
00:20:12.080 I think President Trump deserves to get the folks that he thinks are going to be loyal to the agenda that he ran on, right?
00:20:17.760 And so I think that my hope is that my colleagues will keep an open mind on this and we get to a confirmation hearing.
00:20:24.340 And, again, I just think if you look at this election, one of the things, you've talked about it, but not a lot of people, I think, highlight this.
00:20:33.260 The unique coalition that was put together that delivered this mandate for President Trump was really disruptors versus the establishment.
00:20:41.860 That's how I see it.
00:20:42.760 Yes.
00:20:43.020 And so these cabinet picks shouldn't be any surprise to anybody who's paying attention.
00:20:48.800 The American people support this.
00:20:50.500 So now you have a broader coalition that then brought in.
00:20:54.040 You've got working-class Americans.
00:20:55.640 That's how I grew up.
00:20:57.140 You brought in the RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:20:59.920 That was the formula.
00:21:02.000 You know, like your listeners, the Joe Rogans, all that stuff is different.
00:21:07.360 And there's a lot of people in permanent Washington that are threatened by that.
00:21:11.480 But for me, bring it on.
00:21:14.240 This is why I ran, because we've got a unique moment in time to actually deliver.
00:21:19.980 And these agencies need to not just be checked by the Article I branch and things that we can do structurally to reform the administrative state, but from the inside.
00:21:29.040 People who are going to lead these agencies believe it, too.
00:21:31.300 So for those reasons, I'm bullish on Gates and Pete Heskis, all of them.
00:21:37.040 I think that this is what President Trump ran on, and he deserves to have a cabinet that he trusts.
00:21:42.020 You know, years ago, when I started The Blaze, the Tribeca Film Fester gave me the Disruptor of the Year Award.
00:21:48.340 It killed them, and I loved that.
00:21:49.620 But one of the things that was so important to me, and I used to say it to the team all the time, I do not want to be surrounded by people, horses that you have to whip and coax.
00:22:01.540 I want horses that I have to maybe pull the reins back at times and go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not quite so fast, not quite so far.
00:22:10.260 And I think that's what he's appointing.
00:22:13.800 People who are just going to come out of the gate strong, and if you just let them run wild, they will disrupt everything.
00:22:20.680 And in some places, maybe that's right.
00:22:23.180 In other places, I want disruptors in there that at the appropriate time, you'll hold back and go, nope, hang on just a sec, not quite so fast, not there yet.
00:22:33.180 You know what I mean?
00:22:33.820 Well, look, absolutely.
00:22:35.180 And so, you know, from my own personal experience, and so the Senate, you know, it takes a little time.
00:22:39.780 There's six years or staggered turn.
00:22:41.200 But I think, you know, the Republican senators that are coming in now, I mean, Trump has helped transform this party.
00:22:47.640 For me, I ran in a crowded primary field and won a general election, was out of spent, and what did I talk about?
00:22:54.680 Look, when I was aging, we took on the vaccine mandates at the Supreme Court.
00:22:59.580 We won.
00:23:00.120 We had the student loan debt forgiveness case.
00:23:01.980 We won.
00:23:02.780 We brought Missouri versus Biden and exposed the vast censorship enterprise.
00:23:07.780 And, you know, for me, that's what the people of my state wanted, and you saw in this election cycle two years later in 2024, that's what the American people want.
00:23:15.940 They want fighters.
00:23:17.080 They don't like this system that exists right now that seems to protect insiders, and it's a permanent Washington.
00:23:24.440 And what's unique about this opportunity in time, Glenn, is normally Republican and Democrat administrations for the last hundred years, you know, really kind of starting with Woodrow Wilson, our nation's worst president, probably.
00:23:36.360 You're just talking sexy to me now.
00:23:38.520 You don't have to do that.
00:23:39.420 But this belief that the experts know better, that the unwashed masses don't really know what they want, and we need a team of experts to tell them what is best for them.
00:23:51.860 This has been on the rise for a hundred years, and what we have is an opportunity now to pull back the power of these agencies, to disperse that power back to the people.
00:24:05.500 This kind of thing doesn't happen very often.
00:24:08.440 It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:24:10.520 And so, again, for those reasons and many more, I think President Trump deserves the opportunity to put people in he trusts to go do that.
00:24:18.280 And that's what's on the line.
00:24:19.380 So I was talking to somebody in the banking community yesterday, and as we were talking, and this is a very, very high-level banking individual, and I said, what do you think is coming for taxes and everything else?
00:24:30.720 And I was shocked.
00:24:32.040 He said, you know, we're expecting Trump to follow through on his promises.
00:24:36.180 However, when it comes to taxes, you know, maybe he'll drop it by a couple of points here and there, but nothing dramatic.
00:24:43.500 That is not the impression I've gotten from Donald Trump, but he said, you know, when it actually goes through Congress, when it goes through the Senate, it's going to be hard to move any of that.
00:24:55.180 Do you agree with that?
00:24:56.620 Well, we've got an opportunity because of reconciliation where we only need 51 votes on this tax package, right?
00:25:02.800 But we've got 53 senators, right?
00:25:06.020 So we are going to have to be pretty unified if people offer strenuous objections on provisions in particular.
00:25:11.780 That's something you work through.
00:25:12.640 And that's, look, that's the founder's design.
00:25:14.680 That's the legislative process.
00:25:16.220 But I would point out, we do have to have a sense of urgency because you only got two years.
00:25:20.640 Maybe we have four, but you for sure have two years to go do this.
00:25:24.400 So a lot of those tax cuts people have gotten used to that they like, which have been eaten up, honestly, through the inflationary practices of this Biden administration, whether it's energy policy or spending, but we can make those permanent.
00:25:35.440 The other thing that's not really on the radar yet, but you and your audience would appreciate, and something I intend to push pretty aggressively, through that process of reconciliation, the Democrats really opened the door for different things in their Inflation Reduction Act stuff.
00:25:51.180 What does that mean?
00:25:52.260 Well, if we can find budget savings with regulatory reform, we can get that in.
00:25:58.620 And so my view is, yes, let's make these permanent.
00:26:02.260 Let's build upon the tax policies that help working families and small businesses.
00:26:07.300 But if we can deal with permitting, if we can deal with other sort of regulatory burdens, save money, let's get it in there.
00:26:14.680 So I think we've got a shot to have, you know, kind of generational reform of the tax code and of, again, the regulatory state.
00:26:22.860 It won't work if it's only one.
00:26:24.800 It won't.
00:26:25.640 It just won't work.
00:26:26.620 I mean, we really have to follow Calvin Coolidge, who cut taxes in half and cut the state in half.
00:26:34.600 And then the next year, he did it again.
00:26:37.400 And that's what gave us the Roaring Twenties.
00:26:39.320 It has to be both, or we'll just push our debt out of control.
00:26:44.900 Yep.
00:26:45.380 It's an opportunity to really rein in, you know, the broader administrative state and a lot of the authority that they have, which are ghost taxes in many ways.
00:26:53.140 So I was reading Victor Davis Hanson today, and he said that he thought the Gates nomination was one that he put up so he could pull it off and have a loss.
00:27:05.380 I don't think Donald, I've never seen Donald Trump plan for a loss, and I've never seen him abandon things that he really believed in.
00:27:13.420 Do you think that's right?
00:27:15.460 I agree with you.
00:27:16.600 This is not a flair.
00:27:17.960 Yeah.
00:27:18.240 And that, you know, that job in particular, the Attorney General of the United States, given the weaponization and the corruption in the DOJ, this is not a drill.
00:27:30.800 Yeah.
00:27:31.060 This is a serious pick for President Trump, and he wants to win.
00:27:34.920 And like I said, I think he deserves to have people that he trusts to go in and shake things up.
00:27:41.060 And that department, which has been weaponized against not just him, not just trying to bankrupt him, not just trying to throw him in jail for the rest of his life, but also going after the American people, whether it's Catholics or moms and dads who showed up during COVID to school board meetings who are, you know, being investigated under the auspices of the Patriot Act.
00:28:01.520 This stuff is crazy.
00:28:02.920 So I think you need a reformer to go in there.
00:28:05.040 So to answer your question, I don't think this is a throwaway.
00:28:08.880 I think this is a big one, and I think he wants to make sure that he gets across the finish line.
00:28:15.260 What does it mean that Bragg has postponed the lawfare on Trump?
00:28:21.480 I think they understand the political reality, which also tells you what this thing was all about anyway, which was a political prosecution.
00:28:28.520 The truth of the matter, though, is particularly on that one, the presidential immunity case that the Supreme Court decided, which basically says you can't use communications, you know, or official acts as a predicate for a criminal prosecution, which is exactly what they did there, which is exactly what Jack Smith was sort of relying on.
00:28:47.440 That all crumbles apart on appeal anyway.
00:28:49.860 And so, you know, and by the way, the judge should probably do something unilaterally himself, although they won't.
00:28:57.680 So I think I think they understand the writing that's on the wall.
00:29:00.620 And I think that, you know, they just they don't exactly know what to do, but they know they're not going to be able to move forward with sentencing.
00:29:06.560 I mean, it's totally ridiculous.
00:29:07.580 So there's some some things that, you know, with what's happening overseas now, Biden, I mean, I think this is impeachable, what he just did, you know, basically lining up World War Three with 60 days left in his term.
00:29:22.460 It's just it's outrageous.
00:29:24.500 But, you know, as Russia responds to this and puts us into bad situations when you when you look at everything, I think we are going to experience nuclear war, but more metaphorically than actual.
00:29:44.560 And and I think that's because we are looking at the possible end of 120 year push for the progressives to give us a a fully autocratic state and even a global state.
00:29:59.420 They're not just going to give up on this.
00:30:01.720 I think we they're going to launch everything they have against Donald Trump and this movement.
00:30:08.400 What are you expecting?
00:30:09.800 Well, I think that the growing sentiment, although I still think it is an uphill climb in this town, which, you know, I'm two years into this and the Ukraine thing, honestly, it's just really bizarre.
00:30:24.380 Glenn, I don't I don't really I don't understand it.
00:30:27.940 There no one has ever come and said, here's the plan or here's an exit strategy or here's what it looks like.
00:30:33.780 It is these these folks who have a world order that they want to maintain, don't want to listen to anybody else.
00:30:40.220 But I do think it's changing.
00:30:41.500 The climate is changing.
00:30:42.460 And I think we've got to get to a place where America's core national interests are front and center in our foreign policy.
00:30:49.240 And the truth is, our European allies in NATO need to step up.
00:30:56.200 Right.
00:30:56.320 I think the American taxpayers are tired of subsidizing their social welfare programs.
00:31:00.680 But the message is being delivered loud and clear.
00:31:03.380 We have to pivot towards China.
00:31:04.680 So I think it's very dangerous.
00:31:06.360 I think what happened by a lot is incredibly dangerous by Joe Biden.
00:31:10.740 But again, if the core of your sort of presidency and your foreign policy is is this Ukraine situation, I guess it makes sense.
00:31:19.840 But it doesn't help us.
00:31:21.220 So President Trump's the only person that could step in and actually solve this.
00:31:24.120 I only have 30 seconds.
00:31:25.580 What I meant, though, was that they're going to launch everything against us legally and everything else, not doing Ukraine, but to stop this administration.
00:31:34.480 They're in survival mode.
00:31:35.840 The deep state is in survival mode.
00:31:38.320 Are you are you looking at this as this is about to really get ugly?
00:31:42.940 Well, we got I mean, again, Pete Hesketh, whoever we need, a reformer in the Pentagon that's going to change that shit, you know, make that shift.
00:31:50.120 So, you're right.
00:31:51.760 They're not going to go quietly into that.
00:31:53.960 Good.
00:31:54.420 Thank you so much, Senator.
00:31:55.660 Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri.
00:32:00.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:32:08.820 Gavin McGinnis is with us.
00:32:10.760 Hello, Gavin.
00:32:12.120 Hi, how you doing?
00:32:12.940 Good.
00:32:13.140 I just want to remind you we're on FCC regulated airwaves.
00:32:16.700 So, OK, that's my vocabulary in half.
00:32:21.480 How are things?
00:32:22.860 I mean, you got to be good.
00:32:24.080 Are you are you shocked by what has happened in the last couple of weeks?
00:32:27.960 Yeah, but what I want to say on the show is I'm not going to deny myself of the joy like that.
00:32:33.200 You get to a point where you're a beaten stray dog, where you're scared to accept gruel, you know?
00:32:38.340 Yeah.
00:32:39.260 Yeah.
00:32:39.460 I kind of feel like, you know, you know, that there's been this there's this period for another 60 days, hopefully, where everything seems to be OK.
00:32:49.760 And you can just enjoy the time.
00:32:52.060 Enjoy.
00:32:52.720 Because it's going to get bad again.
00:32:54.180 They're not going to let go.
00:32:55.480 It's not like they're like, oh, gee, we lost.
00:32:57.680 OK, well, we're not going to take over the world.
00:33:00.480 That's not going to happen.
00:33:03.100 Well, we were beaten down for not just Biden's administration, but for a lot of Trump's.
00:33:07.360 It only felt like we were winning for about six months.
00:33:09.960 Yeah.
00:33:10.240 In 2016.
00:33:11.220 Yeah.
00:33:11.580 So I'm reveling in this.
00:33:13.580 I'm reveling to the point where I'm not even watching the liberal tears because that's low hanging fruit.
00:33:17.960 Yeah.
00:33:18.260 Like I'm reveling in Rachel Maddow and MSNBC and CNN.
00:33:21.760 And they are I'm reveling.
00:33:27.560 I have to tell you, dirty.
00:33:28.720 I mean, it's just a dirty pleasure is the view.
00:33:31.480 I'm just I'm enjoying every second of the view going.
00:33:34.960 What the heck happened?
00:33:36.560 How?
00:33:37.240 I mean, not so whoopee and joyous and sunny anymore.
00:33:40.660 They know it's got to read these legal notices where they say, sorry, I said that about Matt Getz.
00:33:45.800 Yeah.
00:33:46.160 So great.
00:33:46.640 That whole industry is dead now because it was it was an industry of gloating.
00:33:51.760 And when you put all your eggs in that basket and you lose, I'm afraid you're toast.
00:33:56.060 They still don't get it.
00:33:57.200 They're still they're still figuring it out.
00:33:58.980 They're still like, I don't understand what happened.
00:34:02.020 How?
00:34:02.640 Yeah.
00:34:03.240 That's a second wave of joy, too, is these new plans.
00:34:06.760 Like we're going to do our own insurrection.
00:34:09.060 I'm going to shave my head.
00:34:12.660 Good.
00:34:13.260 You let me know exactly who you are.
00:34:16.280 Yeah.
00:34:16.920 You weren't on my radar.
00:34:18.200 You think you're denying me lust?
00:34:19.700 Go put a burka on for all I care.
00:34:21.420 Yeah.
00:34:21.760 Right.
00:34:22.320 I don't love you.
00:34:24.780 So are we are we?
00:34:26.900 I mean, because you used you were the co-founder of Vice Media and Vice Media used to be the
00:34:31.480 you know, the the you would search when you had it.
00:34:33.920 You were searching for the punk rockers, you know, and then the the conservatives, whether
00:34:40.540 they knew it or not, were punk rock for a while.
00:34:43.040 I mean, we were the ones, you know, we were bucking the whole system, becoming very, very
00:34:47.820 punk rock.
00:34:48.840 Would if you were still with media, Vice Media, would would you be with your cameras be in
00:34:55.760 our faces now going, look at these guys?
00:34:58.340 Yeah, it is kind of weird.
00:34:59.660 It's like when that hardcore band who's could do signed to Warner and all the cool kids
00:35:04.840 said, I hate them now or, you know, any indie band like to replace right when they get signed
00:35:08.740 to a major, you're supposed to eschew them.
00:35:11.420 But who's could do had great albums under Warner Records.
00:35:14.700 So I'm still dancing in the streets.
00:35:16.660 I don't care how popular we are.
00:35:18.980 Like, let's enjoy it because we'll be pariahs again soon enough.
00:35:23.260 I promise.
00:35:23.580 Well, that's optimistic.
00:35:29.180 What do you what do you think about because I said before the election, I said it like
00:35:37.020 a week or so before Joe Rogan, I said, if Trump goes on Joe Rogan and he has millions of views
00:35:42.860 and he wins, it will be the moment that historians will look back and say that was the end of the
00:35:49.480 mainstream media, because in and not the literal end of it, but the end of their their dominance
00:35:55.640 in 2028, you're not going to see these.
00:35:59.800 You know, who's going to go to ABC to do a debate?
00:36:02.400 You're not going to do that.
00:36:03.960 Also, these vanity projects like Washington Post is a vanity project and billionaires get sick of
00:36:10.160 vanity projects because their their accountant goes, yeah, let's trim the fat this year.
00:36:13.940 This Washington Post thing is a bomb and Trump won anyway.
00:36:17.120 And we don't want to jeopardize future licenses with him.
00:36:21.220 So let's get his good books and just can that.
00:36:24.160 And you're going to start seeing that with the billionaires who are wasting their money on mainstream media.
00:36:28.600 And once they get reduced to the free market, they are absolutely toast.
00:36:35.120 So let me let me switch gears to January 6th.
00:36:37.860 I have so much to talk to you about.
00:36:39.760 I haven't talked to you in a while.
00:36:40.600 Well, January 6th, I got pushed back because I said I want I want all the people that did actual violence.
00:36:49.060 Probably most of them were FBI agents, but that did actual violence on January 6th.
00:36:55.840 I want them to serve the punishment that you would normally serve, just like I want everybody that was doing violence and burning cities down in Minneapolis for Black Lives Matter.
00:37:04.800 I want them to go to jail and I don't want them to receive an an outsized punishment because I disagree with them.
00:37:11.860 I want them to do the jail time.
00:37:15.720 I'm sorry.
00:37:16.380 Were you just vaporized by nuclear weapon or there's I don't know if you've been in the South Bronx recently, but the Transformers have taken it over.
00:37:23.140 And Optimus Prime is in a fight with Bumblebee.
00:37:26.620 I'm going to have to get away from them.
00:37:28.700 OK, so the when I said when I said that on the air, the Doublemint twins, what's their names?
00:37:38.900 They said they said they came out on a tweet and said, hey, Glenn Beck, you know, you're wrong.
00:37:44.960 Everybody's got to be released.
00:37:46.040 Well, no, no, no, wait.
00:37:47.960 I think everybody they all do have to be released because I think there's a lot of people that shouldn't have gone to jail in the first place and everybody should just get time served.
00:37:59.220 But some people's some people's sentences should be expunged.
00:38:04.060 They should be pardoned, but not everybody.
00:38:06.060 But time served is it's enough.
00:38:08.940 But what's the going rate for vandalism these days?
00:38:11.980 What if a bunch of thugs in the South Bronx smashed a bunch of windows of a library or another government building?
00:38:18.920 They would probably do two days in the tombs.
00:38:21.500 Right.
00:38:21.720 And they'd get some paperwork and they'd be a misdemeanor that would eventually get dismissed.
00:38:25.820 Correct.
00:38:26.140 So it's like when someone kills a pedophile, I go, we don't need vigilantes in this country.
00:38:30.820 That guy should be fined $300 and have to do over two hours of community service.
00:38:35.300 Like these these guys should get a $1,000 fine and get a misdemeanor.
00:38:40.320 And even the other guys, too, like I keep saying I'm happy they're getting pardoned if they are.
00:38:45.780 But that's still really egregious for a 19 for a January 6th meandering, which is what it was.
00:38:52.620 It was a meandering for 99 percent of them.
00:38:55.420 Yeah.
00:38:55.680 So I'm still mad even though they're getting out.
00:38:58.400 Yeah, I am, too.
00:38:59.920 I am, too.
00:39:00.840 Let me ask you in your book, Death of Cool.
00:39:05.540 You came out with this when?
00:39:07.400 2012, 2013, somewhere in that area.
00:39:09.720 Yeah, yeah, 2010.
00:39:11.940 It looked like Teenage Rebellion was absolutely over.
00:39:17.640 I mean, it was the weirdest thing.
00:39:20.060 First time I think in history where, you know, people who were were coming up in 18 were suddenly not pissed at the system.
00:39:28.960 They were like, yeah, and I'm with the system and we got to silence people.
00:39:32.940 And I love men with with boobs.
00:39:36.860 They're the most beautiful men, women on the planet ever.
00:39:40.600 And it was this weird, weird, I don't even know what it was, but it wasn't rebellion.
00:39:48.080 It was a marrying into the system and I'd never seen it before.
00:39:53.880 Now Generation Z seems to be coming back.
00:39:57.220 Are you is there a sequel coming that maybe Teenage Rebellion is coming back?
00:40:02.600 Yeah, well, it's become rebellious to be right wing.
00:40:07.460 And the left, they started out, you know, being about tolerance, but then it became about fascism until you had feminists defending the burqa and queers for Palestine and anarchists defending the government's vaccine mandate.
00:40:21.160 They were freaking old ladies who didn't want a vaccine, but they they twisted themselves into a pretzel of hypocrisy.
00:40:27.640 And the biggest mistake they made, though, was coming after comedy.
00:40:31.660 I mean, America basically invented comedy.
00:40:34.980 Stand up comedy in Britain is relatively new.
00:40:37.480 It's our bag, especially goofball comedy with no rules.
00:40:40.740 Yeah.
00:40:41.020 And they started coming after that.
00:40:42.600 And young people cherish laughs, mostly because they're stoned.
00:40:46.900 And they started policing laughs and saying, you can't make this joke and that joke.
00:40:53.220 And then they they checked in on us and we had memes and pirate radio.
00:40:58.360 And, you know, we were banned from campuses.
00:41:00.640 So that's Animal House.
00:41:02.780 And I think we're at a point now where punk became cool, like with Blink-182 in the 90s.
00:41:08.400 Yeah.
00:41:08.680 And I'm going to embrace it because unlike Blink-182, our team is good.
00:41:16.900 All right, Gavin, what have you been up to lately?
00:41:24.700 Boxing every day so I don't fall into a rage hole.
00:41:27.360 Although now that Trump's winning, I don't hit the heavy bag as hard.
00:41:30.200 The rage is dissipating.
00:41:32.600 And we're doing the network sensor dot TV.
00:41:36.560 It'll be back.
00:41:37.420 The rage will be back.
00:41:39.200 Yeah.
00:41:39.540 I mean, we're dealing with people.
00:41:42.160 We're dealing with those kind of people who's like, if I can't have you, no one will.
00:41:47.280 Yes, yes.
00:41:48.240 I'm going to sabotage your life.
00:41:49.720 If we can't have you, we'll vaporize the whole world.
00:41:53.900 Yeah, really.
00:41:54.800 Literally.
00:41:55.640 Well, one last thing I want to squeeze in here.
00:41:58.460 I've always been pessimistic about leadership and said these are just puppets.
00:42:01.860 And that's the guy driving the train.
00:42:03.800 But the train is powered by someone else.
00:42:05.480 And if you look at the massive incompetence of this past administration, Joe Biden was
00:42:11.360 the inept president and he almost got us into World War Three.
00:42:13.900 Still might.
00:42:14.920 We have Pete Buttigieg in charge of infrastructure.
00:42:18.480 Infrastructure is a complete disaster.
00:42:20.780 Toxic waste spilling over in Palestine, the USA.
00:42:23.840 And then you had the border czar who let in more people than Ellis Island did in its entirety.
00:42:31.300 So in a bizarre way, that's good news.
00:42:33.940 Because it shows you that these boobs still have some power.
00:42:37.680 And when you elect someone, they might be able to do something.
00:42:40.060 But isn't it incredible, though?
00:42:41.300 They're looking at, like, Matt Gaetz and like, he can't run.
00:42:44.400 He's incompetent.
00:42:45.540 Did you see the chick that was running HHS that's not a chick?
00:42:52.400 Pete Buttigieg, that was competence.
00:42:56.260 The only reason they hired him was to bait Donald Trump into using an epithet.
00:43:01.680 And he's smarter than them, so he called him Alfred E. Newman.
00:43:04.780 And now you're stuck with this gay guy that you chose just for his homosexuality.
00:43:08.660 And you don't know what to do with him.
00:43:09.940 What do you think Kareem Jean-Pierre's next gig's going to be?
00:43:16.640 I think she's going to start reading children's books and try to get her English grammar up to a normal adult level.
00:43:22.840 And maybe go back to kindergarten.
00:43:24.660 Don't you wish just once, Peter Doocy would say,
00:43:26.820 I have a question, it's not really related, but what's eight times seven?
00:43:36.060 And can you do your work out loud?
00:43:39.940 Gavin, great to talk to you, man.
00:43:43.240 Thank you so much.
00:43:44.660 Cheers, Clint.
00:43:45.140 Have a good one.
00:43:45.620 You bet.
00:43:46.140 Censored.tv, he's the founder of that.
00:43:48.720 Vice Media co-founder, which is not around anymore.
00:43:51.480 Once he left, it kind of went to hell.
00:43:54.060 A comedian, Gavin McGinnis.
00:43:55.700 All right.
00:43:56.280 She'd read the answer to eight times seven as well from her big book.
00:43:59.200 She would.
00:43:59.600 Big book of answers.
00:44:00.640 She would.
00:44:01.020 Set.
00:44:01.740 97.
00:44:02.180 97.
