The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Sen. Rand Paul & Sheryl Attkisson ｜ 2⧸8⧸22

00:00:00.000 oh my gosh was today a great show today was filled with happiness sunshine and unicorns

00:00:06.300 um let me tell you today we started with the most in-tune president i've ever seen

00:00:14.240 joe biden has his fingers on the pulse man oh the people he really is we start with that and it goes

00:00:23.980 downhill to a crazy train the entire episode here's the podcast you're not going to say

00:00:30.520 don't forget get the said here's the podcast that's me that's the sign that we go to the

00:00:34.060 podcast that's how that works i could tell people about the audiobook that's available now

00:00:38.800 it's available now i mean you could go to audible and get it it's it's up there now i mean but we

00:00:44.100 don't have time to do that because we already said here's the podcast i know forget it

00:00:53.980 so stew uh when you think of joe biden what is the first thing that just leaps to your mind

00:01:09.140 well lunch bucket joe lunch bucket joe which you know everybody in the press has called him that

00:01:17.520 middle class joe middle class joe why would you call him middle class joe because everyone calls

00:01:23.760 a middle class joe he tries to say come on stop but yeah just keep doing it he doesn't necessarily

00:01:30.360 want that nickname but he'll admit it if he has to yeah now let me ask you this when people went to

00:01:35.740 the polls now you're gonna have to do some speculation okay uh but when people went to the

00:01:39.860 polls uh and they they actually voted what do you think when they said i'm for lunch bucket joe

00:01:48.060 right what do you suppose they were thinking and hoping would happen um well i was they would

00:01:57.420 probably think you know there's this guy who was president orange man bad he was tweeting all the

00:02:02.260 time do you remember that yeah you remember him i do and he was he was thinking about him often

00:02:07.040 he's getting he's getting in fights with people all the time and what we want here glenn is a return

00:02:13.420 to normalcy a return to normalcy something that is you know very american something that we

00:02:20.260 we all recognize as oh well that's that's not unusual right something to go back to the way we

00:02:28.060 all understand this country should oh my gosh and thank goodness we have him uh he's got into office

00:02:33.980 and yesterday uh the biden administration uh talked about how they are going to uh they're going to start

00:02:41.000 handing out crack pipes to drug addicts um in underserved communities that that's not exactly

00:02:49.840 the return to normalcy i was thinking the department of health and human services uh fiscal year 2022

00:02:56.560 uh has a harm reduction program and uh they're gonna the the crack pipe uh plan is um well it's to it's

00:03:07.480 it's a kit that will provide safer pipes to drug addicts when they when they smoke crack cocaine

00:03:13.820 or crystal meth safer pipes safer pipes yeah see you know a lot of times they'll use glass pipes

00:03:21.700 and sometimes they can crack and then they'll lead to an infection in the crack user no yes no yes

00:03:29.860 yes so um here's the thing the grant not everybody gets this okay not everybody gets this um this is

00:03:38.380 where it really centers right into the american people you know what i mean sure any president

00:03:44.200 you could see saying hey freak freak crack pipes you know what i mean very common that's the normal

00:03:49.780 we've been talking about every that was the unspoken thing that george washington did this if you

00:03:54.860 don't know george washington when they were going across the delaware they were smoking crack

00:03:59.760 but this is where it gets even more united okay okay uh the grant money will be prioritized for

00:04:06.560 selection if they promise to use the funds in underserved communities so you'll get the free

00:04:14.380 crack pipes if you're serving a large african-american or lgbtq plus population

00:04:23.580 are they saying that black people smoke crack no i don't think they're saying that that seems to

00:04:32.720 be what they're saying no they gotta be saying something else they're prioritizing delivery to 0.66

00:04:37.400 african-americans of crack pipes okay that's the that's the uh that's the post-racial presidency we 0.98

00:04:44.540 all expected if that's not a democrat policy from the 1950s and 60s or from the 1860s i don't know

00:04:54.280 what is that is unbelievable and wow right in line with what i think america was thinking because

00:05:03.260 that is when you say lunch bucket joe you think of the guy you're at you're on the you're on the

00:05:07.960 construction site right it's time for lunch you're sitting on you know uh on the on the side of the

00:05:13.340 building yeah you know on the ground in your work boots lunch bucket joe comes over he's a normal

00:05:19.080 guy been working normal real hard jobs his whole life and he's gonna have a normal conversation about

00:05:23.720 what's bugging him yeah you might see him at the end of a bar maybe having a beer after work that's

00:05:27.760 right and here's what here's what's getting at him today yeah and he'll it'll express the same

00:05:32.280 sort of concerns you have pipes that are safe for african-americans and gay people that's what i'm

00:05:38.000 looking for you might actually see that one at the end of the bar but that's not what we're looking

00:05:42.880 for out of a president of the united states yeah it's so uh yeah anyway um seattle uh and san

00:05:49.100 francisco had the you know crack pipe thing it didn't work out so well no yeah and so they're

00:05:55.360 getting rid of it but joe knows that's an injustice so we've got we've got that one uh by the way

00:06:02.140 justice department they've already been thwarted once um the court said now you can't do this

00:06:08.900 but they're thinking about doing it anyway um you know crack pipes are one thing but what about those

00:06:15.600 who inject heroin okay um the government is now um i am not making this up they are now um

00:06:28.980 putting considering putting vending machines in where if you needed a clean needle you could get

00:06:38.220 one a needle vending machine that is what the american people were demanding

00:06:43.620 i mean doesn't it make you just feel so american you're like we are on the right track we are going 0.97

00:06:54.380 to restore ourselves to the great nation that we really are what's been holding us back those damn 0.85

00:07:02.300 glass crack pipes in the inner cities i mean you know the people in the suburbs they can get their 0.98

00:07:09.680 own damn wooden or metal crack you know because they're they're a dime a dozen out in the suburbs

00:07:18.840 uh but uh this has been an underserved community and crack pipes that's true and and i will say what 0.99

00:07:26.280 you know he did promise to shut down the virus and uh as we know when is a virus ever spread through

00:07:32.060 intravenous drug use yes that's never been an issue never been an issue never never never never uh by

00:07:37.140 the way speaking of starting shutting things down lunch bucket joe strikes twice now lightning doesn't

00:07:44.280 usually strike twice you know in the same place but yesterday at the white house it struck more than

00:07:51.300 two times actually uh but the second time they made an announcement yesterday and who hasn't been

00:07:58.200 calling for this can we please for the love of pete release the 20th hijacker from 9-11 can we please

00:08:11.400 just release him do you remember those big protests before the 2020 election truckers the truckers here

00:08:18.040 in america oh okay i don't know about those crazy nazis up in canada but the truckers here i'm sure

00:08:25.180 they're like we want the 20th hijacker released and gitmo shut down huge priority for the american people

00:08:33.660 oh yeah yeah huge priority oh people there are some people that are like oh my money situation is a

00:08:38.880 little tight yeah but what about the 20th hijacker yeah okay what about him and what happens if that

00:08:44.660 20th hijacker can't get a crack pipe for free or a needle out of a vending machine it's horrid it's this

00:08:52.580 is a harsh this nation is a horror show my gosh and this is the sort of stuff lunch bucket joe can relate

00:09:03.220 to the people yes you know what do you guys what do you guys want come on man well they wanted you know sure we all

00:09:09.160 wanted the 20th hijacker release right and the crack pipe and the needle thing yeah but uh you know i think a

00:09:15.620 priority and he got it right because uh day before yesterday you know he released uh 25 billion dollars of

00:09:23.440 frozen assets to iran and that was my priority yeah you know and i'll lay i think a lot of democrats you

00:09:31.020 know i'm a little on the edge on this i think a lot of democrats would agree with me um you know not

00:09:37.640 probably a lot of conservatives uh you know but hey can we just please give the ayatollah and hezbollah

00:09:45.420 another 25 billion dollars what we landed in the middle of the night on that tarmac wasn't enough

00:09:53.520 that was not enough and it was that sweet spot right between 26 and 24 billion that we were all

00:09:59.640 talking about yeah the conservatives were saying no only 24 billion yeah the liberals were saying no

00:10:03.620 26 billion he found a way to compromise yeah wow it's brilliant everyone was demanding billions go

00:10:09.280 there it was just a matter of how many billions so a lot of people are saying you know i'm just talking

00:10:13.760 about the whiners uh what are we going to do about the economy oh geez yesterday the white house came

00:10:19.960 out with yet another new plan oh the problem with the economy is that well the unions aren't very strong

00:10:32.340 and so they announced a goal yesterday of unionizing 50 percent of america oh just the 50 percent that's all

00:10:43.640 they want yeah we're at 14 so it's not a big deal for so we're at 14 but tripling it would still

00:10:51.360 leave at eight percent short yeah yes it would okay yes it would they want to triple it yeah and then add

00:10:57.280 another half yeah and then a little more well it's gone down actually i was wrong it's not 12 percent

00:11:03.060 it's gone down uh it was a whopping 30 percent at the height of the unions in the 1950s okay 30 percent

00:11:11.600 so they want it's down to 10.3 so they want five times as many people in the unions as percentage of

00:11:20.420 the population that shouldn't well they want it's going to take a couple weeks they want 71 million

00:11:24.580 people just just 71 million people million what i mean that's 75 million no 71 million for that

00:11:32.040 membership is 14 million today so they want 71 million um and that is half of the workforce

00:11:40.440 so i think this is i mean that's what i was looking for and why are they doing it you ask

00:11:46.360 well i'll tell you why whether it's fighting covid19 advancing social and economic equity for

00:11:54.880 underserved communities i.e crack pipes tackling climate change and building a modern sustainable

00:12:01.700 economy i.e death of the free market we need a vibrant labor movement so that's good that's good

00:12:10.560 now um you know there are reports out there that saying doing this would increase the infrastructure

00:12:18.540 projects that the that the white house is working on from anywhere from 12 to 20 but who cares we can

00:12:25.760 print more okay what do you care about money or people people says joe biden you're probably one of

00:12:33.760 those haters that don't think we should be handing out free crack pipes right am i right am i right

00:12:41.900 you're darn right i'm right hmm this is him this is lunch bucket joe though connecting to the people

00:12:50.960 this is can i ask you top of it of all the concerns i mean when you look at the polls

00:12:56.300 the number one concerns always crack pipes yeah for underserved communities you know how we always say

00:13:02.380 the president shouldn't read polls hmm yeah i think we got that i think we have a president we got

00:13:10.000 somebody who does not read the polls or he reads them upside down yeah i don't know it could be

00:13:16.320 that could be that yeah and has no advisors uh that are really in touch with the american people

00:13:24.140 at all you know he wants it to look more you know like supreme court i want it to look more like america

00:13:31.460 well handing out crack pipes union jobs you know and needles i don't think gets us there i don't i

00:13:41.100 know i don't i don't you know what he should do is he should appoint the first crack smoking 0.98

00:13:50.440 supreme court justice because he apparently thinks that it's in the inner city so maybe you'd get

00:13:59.740 you know a black person as well which he's really in favor he's already said he's going to do that

00:14:05.400 yeah well i mean you're smoking crack you could get white or black but if he does it in the what did

00:14:11.860 he say underserved communities i think that's what he's saying because it's racial equity so maybe he

00:14:18.220 could get somebody from that underserved community that's smoking crack that's also qualified but nobody 1.00

00:14:25.500 pays attention to for supreme court you're really threading a needle with uh don't say wrong really

00:14:31.160 wrong word this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening

00:14:40.040 it's the new year and you know what that means new year's resolutions but if your resolution is like

00:14:53.980 mine this year to eat a little healthier make sure that you include built bars in that plan ever since

00:14:59.680 the first time i tried a built bar i've been a huge fan i hate protein bars and all of that stuff

00:15:05.740 because it usually tastes like it comes from a chemical factory but built bars have changed all

00:15:11.300 of that most built bars have about 130 calories four grams of sugar four grams of net carbs and 17 grams

00:15:19.580 of protein they're also made with a hundred percent real chocolate amazing flavors that you're gonna

00:15:24.860 really love so get rid of all the snacks that taste good that aren't friendly to your waistline even if

00:15:30.220 you're not big on working out which i'm also not a fan of you can at least be eating something that

00:15:35.420 tastes good but it's also really pretty good for you as well it's built.com built.com promo code

00:15:41.980 beck15 get 15 off your order right now beck15 15 off built.com so one of the best investigative

00:15:51.360 reporters in the country if not the best and the one is still doing her job i mean there used to be

00:15:57.100 some other good ones but now nobody's doing it anymore cheryl atkinson she is an investigative

00:16:02.500 reporter she is the host of full measure with cheryl atkinson uh and the author of the smear

00:16:09.280 welcome to the program cheryl how are you i'm great it's good to be here so cheryl i i've been

00:16:16.480 thinking about you ever since this the thing with joe rogan started because you literally wrote the book

00:16:22.200 on uh how this how this happens and i'm watching this unfold and it's bringing back some uh very vivid

00:16:31.180 memories it's wave after wave after wave it started with you know he's giving misinformation 0.81

00:16:38.520 giving misinformation about covid and then it was he's a racist and now it's he's a transphobe

00:16:45.940 how does this end you know yeah it's uh it's by the playbook in my book the smear where i

00:16:53.380 dissected what was done to you what was done to don imus actually i would say the joe rogan plan

00:17:00.180 looks almost exactly like what media matters and the left propagandist there and the interest behind

00:17:06.740 them what they did to don imus if you remember and it's it's when they find an enemy of whatever

00:17:13.560 they're advocating or their money interests don't want discussed or exposed they find other reasons

00:17:20.060 to smear the person and try to remove them and i i talked about well what's the difference between

00:17:25.660 a smear and just telling the truth because joe rogan acknowledges he said some objectionable things

00:17:32.380 that are very hard to hear today well i described that in the smear and there is there is a line that

00:17:39.060 that explains this these people when this happens are targeted not because of the information and

00:17:47.280 views that they're being smeared for but because of the other influence they have over issues that

00:17:52.780 aren't even being talked about now which is the covid you know putting out factual information that

00:17:58.340 some didn't want heard and i think rogan was clearly targeted because he had large followings

00:18:03.640 that showed ordinary people not fringe or alone when they're thinking of certain thoughts and views

00:18:09.120 or reading certain science scientific studies so do you think it really is just that or is it

00:18:15.360 they can't tolerate someone who won't bow to them they got to take them out

00:18:21.880 well yes they do but only because he's not on the right side of the money interests that people may

00:18:30.060 not understand or behind these efforts that look like they're sort of grassroots efforts but they're

00:18:35.860 very well organized you and i know media matters and other groups once they targeted rogan started

00:18:41.900 coming through every word he ever said over time and had probably already been gathering on him they

00:18:47.400 listen to every everything you say everything i say everything we write hoping to find that one little

00:18:54.100 grain they could amplify into a smear for the power of destruction to get rid of voices that are off the

00:19:00.480 narrative on these topics that their money interests care about so when they did this to me or my good

00:19:06.080 friend don imus uh god rest his soul um the uh i forgot he's he's not in heaven anyway um

00:19:13.580 when they did it to us it was new to the american people um and they you know you'd be like no these

00:19:22.260 people are financing this and a lot of people like yeah right um and it was kind of a conspiracy

00:19:27.380 theory now everyone knows everyone knows they've seen it over and over and over again and they're sick

00:19:33.880 of it how does this just does he how do you think this ends well i think that's a great question you

00:19:43.000 know i i think trump was the one who didn't crack when this stuff happened to him everybody else

00:19:48.720 there's some pressure to apologize to crack once that little bit of weakness is there as i wrote

00:19:54.380 about it's not as though the apology is there and then they go away meaning the propagandists that's

00:20:00.860 when they really sink their teeth in because they sense weakness and opportunity and their goal isn't

00:20:04.940 really to get an apology their goal is to destroy the person who's harmful to their interests

00:20:09.200 so they keep going how this ends i'm not sure because i think you you raise a good point have

00:20:15.060 they gone too far people now recognize this when they're going after i i use the example when

00:20:21.120 everybody's anti-vaccine and people know they're not but when they're all called that when everybody's

00:20:26.620 called racist and people know they're not and when joe rogan who's not a radical conservative or

00:20:33.740 giving misinformation and his listeners know that when he's accused of that it starts making

00:20:38.740 people go uh-huh so they think something's going on and it's less effective maybe they've overplayed

00:20:44.680 their hands by broadening the net of the people that they attack and getting more and more bold

00:20:50.320 but i think that's a sign on their part of the propagandists of desperation because people like

00:20:55.140 joe rogan are very effective in piercing the narratives often the false narratives that they have

00:21:00.900 you know they make sure it's all over the media i've been saying this for i don't know last couple

00:21:05.720 of months i've had increased hope that things are going to turn because people seem to be waking

00:21:13.620 up and not not just the ones that were maybe asleep or you know weren't active on you know the more

00:21:20.180 conservative side of the spectrum but democrats not leftists but democrats democrats are starting to say

00:21:26.680 you know i don't want any of this stuff i this this is ridiculous and i sense that there is a change

00:21:33.940 in our society because everything's accelerating so rapidly that it's easy to see now

00:21:41.900 and i think yes they again have they overplayed their hands several years ago and i i liken it to

00:21:51.800 everybody says the pendulum swings well the organized efforts and the well-funded efforts they've

00:21:57.560 dominated since about the 2016 time period in a big way but i don't think they're the majority and

00:22:03.820 the majority of people who feel differently they're not organized and well-funded so it takes a little

00:22:08.840 longer it kind of simmers but i think it's simmered enough and enough important things have happened

00:22:14.380 and enough people have been attacked that maybe you're correct that it's starting to maybe swing

00:22:20.980 the other way or enough people want to do something about it that it's reaching critical mass

00:22:26.900 and what stops these people cheryl i always say the truth finds a way to be told so ultimately the

00:22:35.720 facts come out you hear i thought it was kind of funny i heard today some of these states are lifting

00:22:41.020 mask mandates and people were speculating well maybe the you know they're looking at science and

00:22:46.540 no it's it's the fact that i think the vaccine mandate cultists have all gotten covid now so they're

00:22:54.580 suddenly starting to say we should recognize natural immunity i mean ultimately the truth is

00:22:58.760 the truth and it may take longer to get out in the in the sea of these this disinformation but i think

00:23:07.120 ultimately it does and you find that people can find facts and good information as much as others try to

00:23:13.560 hide it from them it may not be easy but people naturally seek it and so i think that's that's how it

00:23:20.280 is i i the best advice i give glenn that i i think some people have actually taken every time someone

00:23:27.820 says you know online or trying to there but you shouldn't see hear or read something that should make

00:23:34.580 you go look at it listen to it or read it and that's how you defeat the cancel and the propagandist

00:23:40.980 when you say when you're censoring something that means it's important doesn't mean it's necessarily

00:23:45.440 true but it might be true and you should go and investigate it and that pretty much makes their

00:23:50.940 strategy or tactics moot yeah i think um i think that's exactly what's what's happening too is they

00:23:58.280 are so freaked out uh because they're becoming reckless um and so overt um and you know this this thing

00:24:07.500 from cnn i mean just on the bandwagon uh beating the drum and tooting the horn about how these people

00:24:16.800 need to be canceled is crazy is crazy well as i wrote about the most effective propaganda campaigns

00:24:26.200 and smears are the ones that are invisible to the public that you don't see the hand behind them

00:24:31.580 you're influenced in a subtle way but you're right this has gotten so obvious i think in the face of

00:24:36.900 desperation on the part of the interests that really want to sway us you know to look a different to a

00:24:42.380 different place i think it's it's gotten to be where people are looking at it like you say democrats

00:24:47.660 republicans independents whoever you are and starting to go what's harmful to the propagandists is they're

00:24:53.980 starting to say beyond covid and beyond joe rogan what else have they done this with that i just didn't

00:25:00.480 think about right and i think back to the vaccine autism issue you know there's been scientific studies

00:25:06.260 lawsuits and settlements admissions by the government and their own experts that vaccines can cause autism

00:25:11.940 for years but that's just considered you know over and over again debunked debunked debunked think of

00:25:18.520 what they've done to these parents some of the same public health agencies for decades portraying them as

00:25:23.380 crazy while behind the scenes settling and paying lawsuits and knowing that their own experts felt

00:25:28.520 differently so you start to apply what else does this what else does this apply to what we're seeing

00:25:34.220 today how damaged is the i mean i think the media is just imploding um and unfortunately the government

00:25:45.560 uh credibility has imploded um and now science and medicine is imploding um i mean that that that's not

00:25:56.660 a recipe for a healthy country in any way shape or form well it's not and step one is to recognize

00:26:03.940 that but i don't know how you get back to a place where those influences aren't still at play you know

00:26:10.180 they're there they're accomplishing their goal in some instances if they simply confuse the situation let's

00:26:15.960 say there is medical information that a company doesn't want you to have about their medicine well if they simply

00:26:23.840 confuse it and you don't know what to believe that's better than you believing the truth and we're in

00:26:29.120 this confused environment where everybody's putting out all the conflicting information and so yes people

00:26:34.560 know to be skeptical they're starting to understand all of that but that's not necessarily a healthy

00:26:40.080 situation either and you know i'm going to be reporting stories that discuss in the near future i mean

00:26:46.600 the cdc need to be and i don't think it will be but does it need to be blown up and restarted very few

00:26:53.180 people have the kind of faith in cdc that they used to right and you know to have the biggest

00:26:59.620 pandemic challenge that they supposedly gotten trillions of dollars to prepare for over the

00:27:05.000 decades and so utterly fail and make so many bad decisions at every turn i mean what is that agency

00:27:12.120 all about and you know i still look at the fact that of all the things we know that it's gone that

00:27:18.520 have gone wrong the same people are still in charge they haven't even made it i'm not saying

00:27:22.960 punish and imprison right these experts that were wrong someone else can decide all of that stuff

00:27:29.160 but these people are so wrong and we're still listening to them i mean that's just stunning to me

00:27:33.960 and it's it's like that in almost every department i mean i've said to president trump in a in an

00:27:40.400 interview recently if you're going to run again you're going to have to clean house i mean everywhere

00:27:45.780 top to bottom and you're going to need the the uh the house and the senate to go along with you

00:27:51.360 and i don't know if anybody is interested in actually cleaning out the swamp but every single agency

00:27:58.820 is is kind of like the cdc where okay some good people in there but there's also some really bad

00:28:06.300 people some people that are uh misreading and other people that have their own agenda

00:28:12.540 well this veers into an expanded topic but you know in four eight four to eight years

00:28:19.380 no one can clean all that out this operates independently of the president this mechanism

00:28:24.340 you're talking about the i call it persistent bureaucracy and they fight back with either

00:28:29.620 just not implementing what the president wants if it's not what they want or they launch lawsuits

00:28:35.680 and subterfuge and they can they can carry that on for a long time till the next person comes in

00:28:40.860 so i don't know how even if you clean house you get you get something done and in a meaningful way

00:28:47.280 i think trump came the closest to it yeah despite the fact that he was fought at every step but he did

00:28:52.740 do some things like reducing regulation and after the lawsuits ended finally starting to accomplish what

00:28:58.900 he wanted with the wall i mean it's amazing he got anything done those are big changes in the

00:29:04.400 bureaucracy like this i i would be very interested to see his approach if he were to get re-elected yeah

00:29:09.780 uh cheryl thank you so much i know you're really busy uh but thanks for coming by it i've been

00:29:15.740 thinking about you here recently and you were one of the people that had been targeted and uh then

00:29:21.620 you know you're you have no place here on network television so you went out and you did your own

00:29:26.000 thing and it's wildly successful uh and uh now many of us feel like we're going to be chased off of

00:29:33.280 our own platforms which is bizarre just bizarre we got to turn this around soon well thanks for

00:29:39.800 having me anytime for you you got it thanks cheryl atkinson she is the investigative reporter and the

00:29:45.120 host of full measure with cheryl atkinson she's also the author of the smear which if you want to

00:29:51.420 understand what's happening this really is the go-to book this explains it in great detail she took

00:29:59.060 about a year year and a half to research all of the facts on all of the big smears uh and she

00:30:05.880 explains and you will understand and you'll be able to watch the pattern i mean that's that's what you

00:30:10.900 know she was saying and i was too it's just wave after wave it comes and they do the same thing over 0.98

00:30:17.760 and over again and when is america gonna say shut up just shut up you don't like it don't listen 0.98

00:30:25.300 and i'm not listening to you because this is all what did nancy pelosi call it astroturf this is all 0.99

00:30:31.840 astroturf

00:30:32.760 the best of the glenn beck program

00:30:38.640 the great reset is now out in audiobook you can get it from audible or

00:30:55.040 amazon right now look for it glenn beck the great reset read by me man i bet it's good

00:31:03.200 i don't know i wasn't there when i recorded it um let's go to uh let's go to senator ran paul from

00:31:09.380 kentucky uh who is joining us now one of the few senators that is actually involved and paying 0.90

00:31:15.980 attention to the the big board the the restaurant in the district of columbia that for some reason is

00:31:23.300 being singled out uh and they've shut them down senator welcome to the program hey glenn thanks

00:31:30.600 for having me you bet so what is happening in dc you you have the mayor making a a rule hasn't even

00:31:40.060 gone through city council and they're not shutting down restaurants that aren't checking but these guys

00:31:45.740 said we're not going to check because it's it's not really even a law and they have come at them

00:31:52.160 with a bag of bricks every day yeah within within hours of expressing dissent they went after the

00:31:59.600 owner they took the their alcohol license away within 24 hours and 24 hours later they padlocked the

00:32:06.260 building i mean this is the kind of world we're living in now these people are out of control i mean

00:32:12.560 there was a poll the other day that said about 50 percent of democrats are willing to put you

00:32:17.780 indefinitely in detention to basically put you in jail if you're not vaccinated i mean this is this is

00:32:24.740 a completely insane and we now have a vaccine that i still think protects you from getting sick but it

00:32:30.480 doesn't protect you from transmitting it or receiving the the illness so it's really a nobody's

00:32:35.420 concern other than your own if you want to get vaccinated do i think it's still advisable particularly

00:32:40.300 in certain age groups and certain people who are overweight but you make that decision it should

00:32:45.240 be nothing about you trying to force it on other people i have to tell you thank you for signing uh

00:32:50.760 the pledge to not agree to any spending tomorrow if it if it involves mandates i don't know what

00:33:00.280 every single republican if they don't sign that they should they should honestly you should take a hard

00:33:07.180 look at those republicans that won't sign this what what is your possible reason and if they don't

00:33:14.380 give you a good reason don't don't don't re-elect them yeah and there is a shift going on though

00:33:20.880 because you're even seeing democrat governors saying gosh we're going to live like this forever

00:33:24.700 so i think now is the time to be vocal and to push back particularly on masking on our kids

00:33:29.540 we need to push back on the masking on airlines there's no evidence that the masks are working at all

00:33:34.900 you want evidence that the masks on the airlines don't work you saw that plane that uh went with

00:33:40.660 the uh i think mostly mormon missionaries back to the pacific island everybody tested negative before

00:33:46.020 they got the plane 42 out of 54 had the disease when they landed and i'm not involving anybody i'm

00:33:53.080 chuckling because they were all masked for 12 hours on that plane and yet everybody on that plane got

00:33:58.520 covid now fortunately i don't know that any of them are actually sick which is sort of another

00:34:02.980 question we have to say are we going to continue to have all these mitigation masks and separation

00:34:08.580 that don't work for something that is largely not making people very sick let me ask you uh let me

00:34:14.040 switch topics to ukraine it feels as though unlike anything i've ever felt that our government our

00:34:21.620 administration is kind of pushing for a war in ukraine with russia am i is it just me you know you feel

00:34:31.780 it among the members of congress up here too and many of them are sort of the from the never trump

00:34:36.860 camp the liz cheney's and the adam kinzinger's these are the people who think war should be the 0.96

00:34:41.560 first resort not the last resort and there are ways to have a more nuanced position i think we should

00:34:46.820 do things to try to deter russia from evading ukraine and i think there's both carrot and stick that could

00:34:52.720 be put forward i actually would be stronger than saying oh we'll put a few sanctions i would work with

00:34:57.460 germany and say look this is what biden tried to do yesterday but germany hasn't been as forthcoming

00:35:02.280 is to say if you invade ukraine we're not going to buy your natural gas i mean in a big way not just

00:35:07.600 sanction it but it really requires germany's cooperation because we just don't buy that much

00:35:12.320 natural gas from from from russia we don't have that much trade at all with russia so i think that

00:35:16.940 would be on the deterrent front but on the other side of this i actually don't think it's that

00:35:21.680 unreasonable to say that um we're not going to put ukraine in a military alliance against russia

00:35:27.000 i asked the secretary of state this the other day i said how would how do you think we would respond

00:35:31.360 if mexico were joining a military alliance with russia you know what do you think we might do we

00:35:37.840 might mass troops on the border with mexico we would be so unhappy we wouldn't tolerate it for a

00:35:42.340 moment i mean this was somewhat the cuban missile crisis we didn't tolerate them putting missiles on a

00:35:47.760 nation close to us we wouldn't tolerate a military alliance so we have to understand that that's their

00:35:51.920 perspective as well so i would do carrot and stick i would tell them look we're going to have a veritable

00:35:57.140 uh embargo if you invade but we also will offer the the carrot of saying you know what maybe ukraine

00:36:04.380 would be better neutral country with one foot in the east and one in the west and actually i think

00:36:08.760 it would be better for ukraine to try to see the model of switzerland being more their model

00:36:12.880 than uh the model of becoming a you know a military presence with nato um the the the idea that

00:36:22.120 um we are living under a regime and i don't think i've ever used that word before uh for america

00:36:31.140 living under a regime that is it's almost as if they're rooting against us in every possible way

00:36:41.000 uh the things that they did uh this this weekend and the 25 billion dollars you know that they unfroze

00:36:49.900 and gave to iran the it's it's it's a group of people that are completely out of step with the

00:36:58.300 american people well it's also a group of people that i mean to to know how bizarre and far out these 1.00

00:37:05.220 people are these are people that think thanksgiving is a terrible holiday i mean these are the people who

00:37:10.540 think america is a terrible place and we shouldn't be celebrating like thanksgiving because everything

00:37:15.280 america did was horrible and everything americans did were horrible and i i think that this is just a

00:37:21.660 bizarre sort of world we are in i mean these are the people who think that we are in the wrong by saying

00:37:28.260 that the government schools should not medicate our children and shouldn't be giving our our girls

00:37:33.680 testosterone at the age of 13 without our permission this is a bizarre world but they're also it's going to

00:37:40.260 come home to roost because as people understand and know how far out democrats are defund the police

00:37:46.280 give our kids sex hormones without our permission give them even surgery sex change surgery or sexual 0.90

00:37:52.940 appearance change surgery without our permission i think they're going to paint themselves so far out

00:37:57.840 on a limb and it's happened like in kentucky we used to be a majority democrat registration state we've

00:38:03.680 now switched uh good church going democrat families are like heck no i'm not for the government giving 0.80

00:38:11.180 my kids sex hormones at school without my permission these people are so bizarre that i think they're 0.94

00:38:15.900 losing america and hopefully the next election will show that um talk to me a little bit about scotus 0.92

00:38:23.700 and what's happening there you know i think the one thing that i'm going to say over and over again

00:38:29.340 and i was told the media yesterday as i came up to them is that uh the one thing we will not do is

00:38:35.060 we will not treat their nominee the way they treated kavanaugh i think what they did was

00:38:39.200 reprehensible despicable and we will show in contrast that we can have a debate over someone's

00:38:44.040 qualifications and uh you know i'm not voting for somebody who's for abortion up to the time of

00:38:50.220 birth i'm not voting for somebody who has no concerns for the constitution but i'm also not

00:38:56.340 going to stand up and make up stuff about their high school dating or saying they were rapists in

00:39:01.240 high school that kind of that was so insulting and so demeaning and the the democrats should be

00:39:06.340 reminded at every step we should also show the american public that we can disagree with someone

00:39:10.640 on principled nature and and maybe even vote against that person but without making it a personal

00:39:17.020 flander so that i i agree with that and i i don't want to be i do not want to become everything

00:39:23.020 that um you know that that we despise uh on the other side so i'm glad to hear that and i agree with

00:39:31.280 you however there's a debate going on right now especially with spotify and joe rogan about apologizing

00:39:38.160 and i think there's a place for apologizing uh there's a place to be you know um decent but

00:39:45.440 but that doesn't mean that you uh surrender you know it's not that you know you you have to fight

00:39:53.380 a good fight and a fair fight but i i people look at apologies or or you know being more statesman like

00:40:01.720 they're starting to look at that as a sign of weakness i don't think it is well i i am tired of

00:40:08.120 all the sort of mal kind of apologies where you read your statement you look like you've been tortured

00:40:13.260 all night long and you read it and then you say stuff that you know like you know they make people

00:40:17.800 apologize all the time for saying i'm sorry for being transphobic you know i'm sorry for this

00:40:24.040 that you know they call me transphobic what adults do is not my concern if you want to do that do it

00:40:29.520 my concern is about the law and about kids and about consent and uh but the thing is is i'm not going

00:40:37.420 out and making some mal-esque apology but doesn't mean we have to be uh rancorous as far as you know

00:40:44.640 personally attacking people and frankly i don't think we do that but uh you know we're going to

00:40:50.700 see what happens as this thing moves forward but uh you know i for one on on the spotify thing and on

00:40:56.720 this um i'm i'm i guess confused that people who went to woodstock and didn't want to have any rules

00:41:03.640 or clothes right uh somehow now they believe that speech is dangerous and they want to shut down

00:41:09.820 people they disagree with it's sort of the most infantile juvenile um proposition and i don't get

00:41:15.680 how they can't understand the irony i know people who are free spirits now being against speech i know

00:41:21.340 um you ran for president once before any thought of running for president america is starting to look

00:41:28.720 like she's shifting back to a small government hey let's follow the rule book kind of thing uh any 0.76

00:41:35.960 thought about running for president again you know sometimes until my wife says why in the world would

00:41:42.660 you want to do that again you know i i think so much of it depends on um you know if there were a free

00:41:49.620 for all you know with an open open race that's one thing if donald trump runs again i just don't know

00:41:56.020 that uh there'll be uh anybody that will be able to compete with donald trump in a primary

00:42:00.120 and so i think it depends on what what happens over time right now i'm mostly concentrating you know

00:42:06.460 i'm running for re-election in kentucky and so i'm up in november and concentrating on that battle

00:42:10.860 and how's it going i would assume it's going well i think pretty good what we're finding in kentucky is

00:42:17.380 that like i say the democrat party has left conservative democrats you know my in-laws were

00:42:22.780 conservative democrats you know church-boying god-fearing conservative democrats but they saw

00:42:28.260 the party leave them and that's what's happened to so many i mean we've had party officials now

00:42:32.540 switch parties we have people changing registration and so we're now on even footing and the democrat

00:42:38.000 areas that were democrat going back to the time of andrew jackson i've actually switched and become

00:42:42.940 republican so we're in a better place there um we have a few cities uh that vote democrat but they're

00:42:48.740 not as dominating as like you know atlanta sort of dominates the population of georgia now they're

00:42:54.100 probably equal to the rest of the state and so it's it's becoming more hard when we don't do as

00:42:58.900 well in the cities unfortunately kentucky we uh have a significant strong rural population that's able to

00:43:06.300 more than counterbalance the city vote ran paul thank you so much senator i appreciate it

00:43:11.940 thanks claire you bet uh we are better off having him in the senate kentucky

00:43:16.900 you better you better reelect him interesting answer on the uh the presidential yeah that seems

00:43:24.820 like you know no trump and he seems like he'd be he's i think there's a lot of people that would say

00:43:30.300 that yeah if trump's running i'm out right if he's because you know if he's not you're gonna start

00:43:35.660 with a 50 point deficit and no one wants to do that yeah yeah and you'll be he'll find something

00:43:41.040 about you and you'll forever be labeled that he's good at that yeah he's very good at that
