00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters, it's Tuesday. Got a great show for you. We, of course, talk a little bit about the special and the impeachment, what you need to know.

00:00:47.680 Eastern. All right. So we have Mike Lee who is joining us.
00:00:50.440 We talked about the Canadian sportscaster, the guy who is a legend in hockey, just fired.
00:00:57.040 You won't believe why. And that prompted one of our favorite broadcasters up in Canada, Brian Lilly, to call in.
00:01:04.500 He happened to be listening to the show. You don't want to miss you don't want to miss that.
00:01:07.580 Plus the Tulsi Gabbard update and the stock market boom under presidents.
00:01:13.660 All on today's podcast.
00:01:20.880 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:29.140 I want to talk about how they're scrubbing the Internet right now of the whistleblower.
00:01:35.320 Any mention at all of this whistleblower is now being deleted by Facebook, Twitter, everywhere.
00:01:44.120 The Internet is being scrubbed.
00:01:46.920 By by these organizations and it's not being reported on by any mainstream media.
00:01:55.500 Remarkable.
00:01:56.740 Absolutely remarkable.
00:01:58.240 Facebook, right, is pulling every mention of the whistleblower's name, which I believe we can still say.
00:02:05.060 Charamella.
00:02:06.100 Charamella.
00:02:06.900 Charamella.
00:02:07.420 You know, we've got to get our we've been so busy with we're we're working on this special.
00:02:11.720 We're working.
00:02:12.100 We have, what, five days left to finish our book.
00:02:16.100 Yes.
00:02:16.460 On socialism, which is a major 400 page plus book on how to argue with socialists that's coming out after the new year.
00:02:26.020 So we're so busy, but we've got to get somebody to make a Charamella T-shirt.
00:02:31.720 I think that's needed.
00:02:32.640 The whistleblower, maybe throwing a pie up in the air.
00:02:35.320 It's a Charamella.
00:02:38.000 The pizza box guy.
00:02:39.340 The pizza box guy.
00:02:39.840 I like this idea because it seems like a sauce.
00:02:42.560 Like if you could get like, you know how you go and you build the pasta and they've got like marinara and they've got Alfredo and then they have Charamella sauce.
00:02:50.840 It does seem like something you'd have to add.
00:02:53.000 We need, you know what?
00:02:54.220 In fact, I will give a free plug to any Italian restaurant that comes up with a Charamella sauce.
00:03:01.200 So, I don't know.
00:03:03.120 It's got to have fork in it.
00:03:04.440 Knowing it's someone's name is a bit weird.
00:03:07.020 It doesn't necessarily seem appetizing.
00:03:08.860 We can come up with a great recipe.
00:03:10.820 However, we ate General Tso's chicken.
00:03:12.880 Right.
00:03:13.240 Right.
00:03:13.460 That's a dude's name.
00:03:14.480 I'd like spaghetti Charamella.
00:03:17.420 Okay.
00:03:17.900 Anyway.
00:03:19.560 They can't stop us from putting his name out on that one.
00:03:22.680 You're going to ban my menu item?
00:03:24.520 Is that what you're going to do?
00:03:25.020 Is that what you're doing?
00:03:26.160 This is a menu item.
00:03:28.040 I'm telling you, if you come up with a good recipe and you're a restaurant, I will promote you on Facebook with your new Charamella sauce.
00:03:35.640 But you've got to, it's got to make sense.
00:03:37.700 It's got to be on the official menu.
00:03:39.300 Yeah.
00:03:39.540 It's got to be, it's got to be, it's got to be something official.
00:03:42.660 What if you, what if your name, like you're another person in the Charamella family?
00:03:48.520 Can you no longer be on Facebook?
00:03:50.000 Are they banning you?
00:03:51.120 Maybe.
00:03:51.700 I don't know.
00:03:52.300 What if you're a coach in that family and you have a whistle as part of your duty?
00:03:59.140 Can we talk about the coach or the, the umpire that is a Charamella blowing the whistle on the field?
00:04:06.740 Apparently not.
00:04:07.260 Apparently not.
00:04:07.900 Okay.
00:04:08.100 So we have that story, but here's an, here's an even worse story.
00:04:12.740 I think this story is about how the media just takes care of its own.
00:04:19.300 Um, we know the story about, uh, Rohrbach, the ABC, uh, uh, anchor that off camera was saying,
00:04:30.780 you know, we had this story about Epstein for three years and ABC sat on it.
00:04:35.640 So they were looking for the leaker.
00:04:38.100 Well, they found somebody who had accessed this.
00:04:41.440 Now her story is amazing.
00:04:44.080 All she did was she opened up that file.
00:04:49.000 I think on the day that it happened, she opened up that file and she pulled that file and put
00:04:55.140 it off into a separate file.
00:04:57.660 Now she never accessed it again.
00:04:59.880 She went to her bosses at ABC and said, did you see this?
00:05:03.380 This is her job is to pull things that might be problematic and to pull things, uh, for other 0.99
00:05:09.940 people.
00:05:10.540 So she said, Hey, I pulled this off.
00:05:13.120 This might be problematic.
00:05:15.160 Uh, do you guys see this?
00:05:17.440 They said, yes.
00:05:18.820 Okay.
00:05:20.040 Months go by nothing.
00:05:22.780 She leaves and she moves to CBS.
00:05:26.560 She's just, she's a low level producer at CBS.
00:05:30.700 ABC calls her and calls CBS and says, Hey, you know, we had somebody leak this to the press.
00:05:37.520 And, uh, and this woman, she, she's the leaker. 1.00
00:05:41.700 You might want to be careful.
00:05:43.260 Well, they walked in, didn't even question her.
00:05:45.120 They just fired her. 1.00
00:05:46.640 Get your stuff and get out.
00:05:49.360 It's an amazing story.
00:05:51.160 No one has taken the time to interview this person, talk to this person.
00:05:57.180 Nothing.
00:05:58.300 No one in the mainstream media is even addressing this Rohrbach story.
00:06:02.880 Nobody, nobody else is only the alternative media, the conservative media.
00:06:12.000 There's been zero mention of this on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, nothing, nothing.
00:06:19.060 It's like the story doesn't even exist.
00:06:22.180 And again, this is in the Me Too era.
00:06:24.260 This is a story about a coverup of dozens and dozens of underaged girls being assaulted, molested, and all sorts of different horrible things.
00:06:37.160 And the, the so-called whistleblower, without any evidence, is taken and fired and thrown out in the street without any explanation.
00:06:50.200 And again, think of how remarkable it is the way this goes down, where one competitor calls another competitor in the same industry.
00:06:59.020 McDonald's calls Burger King and says, hey, the person you're cooking the hamburgers, I don't think they should be employed there anymore.
00:07:05.220 And Burger King's like, oh, okay, sure.
00:07:07.040 When the hell does that happen?
00:07:08.660 That doesn't make any sense at all.
00:07:10.400 Because they, it's a, it's a cabal.
00:07:12.900 It really is a cabal.
00:07:14.420 They all, they all are protecting each other's butts.
00:07:17.420 That's all they're doing.
00:07:18.320 We were talking on the news and why it matters and comparing it to the thin blue line sort of thing from every single movie where police won't talk bad about them.
00:07:25.140 It's like, that's what this is.
00:07:26.460 The media is just protecting itself.
00:07:28.580 And, you know, look, you can make a mistake here.
00:07:31.620 It's plausible that, okay, look, because I, is even with the story being the story, if I have someone who's working for me, who's leaking things to opposition media to destroy my company, whether they're right or wrong, I might want to interview them later, but I don't want them working for me.
00:07:46.220 Right?
00:07:46.380 I could totally see.
00:07:47.360 However, when you find out that this person is not the leaker, you should be rehiring them if they want the job.
00:07:55.740 You should be apologizing profusely.
00:07:57.400 You should be clearing their name publicly.
00:07:59.080 And you're going to be on the wrong side of a lawsuit if you don't do those things.
00:08:01.820 You're going to be on the wrong side of the lawsuit.
00:08:02.920 And they're just ignoring it.
00:08:03.980 Even if you do things, yeah.
00:08:04.480 There's not even the people who cover the media aren't even coming out and saying anything about it.
00:08:07.760 Oh, you mean Brian Stelter?
00:08:08.920 It's not just him.
00:08:10.300 But he's one of them.
00:08:11.120 No, but isn't he the ombudsman to make sure that the media is fair and balanced and I'm going to check into everything because I'm the big, huge egghead that just – I just know what's true and what's not.
00:08:25.100 Hasn't even mentioned it.
00:08:26.680 That's inexplicable.
00:08:28.860 Inexcusable.
00:08:29.340 It's one of these stories that's directly about the way the media is dealing with its own stories.
00:08:35.980 This is an internal story that should be fascinating to people inside the media who say, wait a minute, like, these are – this is real – look, James O'Keefe has been around for a while.
00:08:45.880 He's done this a bunch of times.
00:08:47.340 This is something that the media needs to understand can happen to them and they need to be able to deal with it like adults.
00:08:52.880 And they don't seem to be able to do it.
00:08:55.200 No.
00:08:55.560 So, Megyn Kelly is back and Megyn Kelly is doing her own thing and she just released something on IGTV, which is Instagram television, and she interviewed this person.
00:09:10.300 And I want to play a couple of clips from it.
00:09:11.800 Listen.
00:09:12.540 Did you leak the tape?
00:09:13.600 I did not.
00:09:14.560 Not to anyone?
00:09:15.700 No.
00:09:16.280 At any time?
00:09:17.600 No.
00:09:18.500 Did you make a clip of the moment?
00:09:20.500 I did, but I saved it in the internal system.
00:09:23.860 So, what was your job at ABC?
00:09:25.960 I was a crash producer.
00:09:28.040 Okay.
00:09:28.380 So, a producer.
00:09:29.120 Yeah.
00:09:29.440 And you were in the control room when Amy made those comments?
00:09:32.900 I wasn't in the control room, but I was watching the comments while I was at my desk and I had seen what she was saying and I went to my manager and I said, you know, do you see what she's saying?
00:09:44.980 Does she know that she's on a hot mic? 0.99
00:09:46.700 The assistant said to us that Amy knew she was on a mic and that she knew she was being broadcasted to all the affiliates.
00:09:54.500 Right.
00:09:54.700 So, this is a moment where she's off the air.
00:09:56.840 She's doing taped promos, but she has a mic on and people can see and hear her. 1.00
00:10:01.320 Yeah.
00:10:02.240 So, what made you, what did you do?
00:10:04.600 You clipped the moment?
00:10:05.500 You sort of marked the moment in the system?
00:10:07.080 Yeah.
00:10:07.280 I just clipped it off.
00:10:08.460 I essentially marked it in the system.
00:10:10.100 It never left the system.
00:10:11.440 We do it all the time.
00:10:12.680 Did you tell the manager that you had clipped it?
00:10:14.900 I did not.
00:10:16.020 Did you think it was newsworthy, what she was saying?
00:10:18.440 Everyone in the office was freaked out by what she was saying and everyone was watching it.
00:10:23.220 So, the purpose for clipping it was what?
00:10:24.940 To watch it back later?
00:10:26.360 Yeah, watch it back later.
00:10:27.420 You know, I did it just for office gossip, you know?
00:10:33.040 Was there any intention to embarrass her?
00:10:35.600 No, not at all.
00:10:37.060 Or ABC?
00:10:37.820 No, I would never.
00:10:39.500 You know, the three years I've spent at ABC, I've loved my time there.
00:10:44.340 You know, I'm a good employee.
00:10:46.500 I've, you know, worked seven days a week, you know?
00:10:49.960 I loved my job.
00:10:51.440 Was this the first time you had ever clipped a segment of an anchor off mic?
00:10:57.560 No, I mean, we do it all the time.
00:10:59.200 You know, part of my job is I'm like a video editor.
00:11:02.680 You know, I clip off moments all the time.
00:11:05.100 I put together, you know, funny anchor reels of, you know, them off camera doing funny stuff to use later in the show.
00:11:13.120 Did you go back and watch it later?
00:11:14.680 I didn't, no.
00:11:15.780 I didn't even, I didn't think about it after that day.
00:11:20.300 I believe her.
00:11:21.440 I mean, she comes off as very believable.
00:11:22.840 Now, if the case from ABC slash CBS is she's lying, then they need to make that case.
00:11:28.600 Or say they're launching an investigation to figure out what exactly happened, but they're not even making that case.
00:11:35.420 They're not saying anything.
00:11:36.960 And of course, there's no one to hold them responsible.
00:11:39.540 They're just ignoring all the requests to comment on it.
00:11:42.780 So there is a new piece of evidence out today.
00:11:46.760 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:11:51.120 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:00.600 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:12:05.060 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
00:12:08.860 Senator Mike Lee, who joins us now.
00:12:11.140 So, Senator, tell me about what happened in Mexico, and is anything going to be done about this?
00:12:21.600 Glenn, it's absolutely tragic.
00:12:24.020 Last week, we had nine innocent people, women and children, American citizens, gunned down in cold blood, murdered, in some cases, burnt to death by narco-terrorists.
00:12:36.860 This is in our glad backyard, Glenn.
00:12:40.180 This is an absolute crisis.
00:12:43.320 We've got to do something about it by way of identifying who the attackers were, and we've got to make darn sure that they don't have the ability to attack the American people anymore.
00:12:53.940 It's bad enough that over the last few years, they've killed 250,000 innocent civilians.
00:13:00.580 It's made worse by the fact that they're now moving on to U.S. citizens and doing so in their own backyard.
00:13:06.860 So, the press made a big deal out of these people have a violent history, and what do you know about the family, Mike?
00:13:14.480 You know, this is not a family with a violent history.
00:13:18.960 The individuals that I talk to, these families are not part of a cult.
00:13:27.400 These families are not even part of an organized religious order at all.
00:13:32.680 They just live down there in peace.
00:13:35.040 Now, they're the descendants of people who came to the region to live in religious freedom back in the mid to late 1800s, and they've maintained their identity both as Mexican citizens and as dual U.S. citizens ever since then.
00:13:50.980 But they're a peace-loving people, and they're people who are not extremists in any way.
00:13:56.580 They abide by the law, and they haven't caused anyone any trouble.
00:14:02.140 I'm not sure what the almost fetishistic fixation the New York Times and other publications seem to have with calling them polygamists, which they are not, or fundamentalists, which I don't think they are either.
00:14:17.760 But somehow maybe that makes it easier for them to otherize these victims so as to not make Americans worry about these pesky drug cartels.
00:14:28.520 These pesky drug cartels pretty much run the state of Mexico now.
00:14:33.940 Yes, in many areas they do, and they seem to be becoming increasingly brazen in their willingness to go after, in this case, both women and children, which the Sinaloa drug cartel apparently historically tried to avoid, and also people who were known to be U.S. citizens, as these people were in the area.
00:14:56.800 Everyone knew who they were. They knew they were dual U.S.-Mexican citizens. They knew that these people were women and children, and they killed them anyway. 0.99
00:15:06.820 That indicates that something more dangerous is afoot than what we've been dealing with in the past, and that we really should be concerned. It's one of the many reasons we need a wall.
00:15:15.380 And there's no reason to believe now that Americans are safe in Mexico, because if they're—I mean, it used to be if you held an American passport, nobody's going to screw with you, because the Americans would come down as a bag of bricks on your head and pressure the government to make sure those people paid the price. 0.98
00:15:36.100 That's not the truth anymore. Mexico is pretty much controlled by these cartels. The president, I don't know, good or ill, but the president is having to kowtow to these people. And what does this mean for Americans on the border? If they can do this right across the border, what's stopping them from doing it on this side?
00:16:01.240 It is a scary prospect, and I'm not sure I know what the answer would be.
00:16:11.700 Well, Mike, does an answer include making these drug cartels terrorist organizations?
00:16:19.940 Absolutely. Absolutely. And I'm doing everything I can to make sure that the administration has the ability it needs to designate them as such.
00:16:28.200 If we can do that, then all of a sudden we can figure out how they bank. We can stop their ability to transfer money.
00:16:36.740 These are organizations that by some accounts are clearing something like $80 million of profit a day.
00:16:43.140 That money's got to go somewhere. It can't just sit under a mattress. They have to be able to have the ability to transfer it.
00:16:50.160 We can stop a lot of that if we designate them as international terrorist organizations, and that's what I hope they end up doing.
00:16:57.120 Now, meanwhile, AMLO, President Lopez Obrador, has said some things that I hope are just an error in translation.
00:17:07.120 I speak both languages. I'm fluent in Spanish.
00:17:10.340 He had been saying we need to deal with the drug cartels using hugs, not bullets.
00:17:19.900 Abrazos, no boleros.
00:17:21.320 I don't quite understand why he'd use that expression.
00:17:24.940 But then in the wake of these killings last week, he said something along the lines of, you know, the families of these victims just need to forgive the cartels.
00:17:34.740 I don't understand what that has to do with the government response.
00:17:40.300 Obviously, among any Christian believers, forgiveness is an essential thing, but that is not the government's role.
00:17:48.120 The government's role is to see to it that people don't kill each other.
00:17:51.760 And I hope, for their own sake and for ours, that the Mexican government will get its A game on and decide that, you know, yeah, hugs are great.
00:18:03.720 Sometimes they don't work for people who have bullets.
00:18:06.520 Sometimes the only response to somebody who's got bullets and abusing them to kill women and children is more bullets.
00:18:11.600 And that's what we need here.
00:18:12.560 Mike, are we going to be able to get anything done with the impeachment now?
00:18:19.680 I mean, do you see the impeachment?
00:18:21.980 I see it passing.
00:18:23.220 Do you see Mitch McConnell picking it up and trying it in the Senate?
00:18:30.520 I personally, I think it should because you've got to you have to be able to respond to the insanity.
00:18:39.240 And you can't respond to it in the House because of the rules.
00:18:44.100 That's right.
00:18:44.820 That's right.
00:18:45.300 I've had some good conversations with Mitch McConnell about this.
00:18:48.960 And I think he sees it the same way I do.
00:18:52.500 And it sounds like the same way you do, which is that, first of all, under our rules, we have to take it up.
00:18:58.240 We have to hear it.
00:18:59.200 And even if we were not required to, by our own rules, which we are, there would still be a need for us to be able to tell the story, to tell the whole truth, and not just the spin that they're getting in the House of Representatives.
00:19:16.540 Well, there's no way for the president to even defend himself.
00:19:20.480 You can't call anybody that has anything to do with Chalupa.
00:19:26.300 You can't call her.
00:19:27.060 You can't call a whistleblower.
00:19:28.660 You can't call anybody that wants to talk about the marriage between the state and Soros.
00:19:33.600 You can't talk about the meddling in the election that we know happened because two people were sentenced to prison for it, for interfering in the U.S. election.
00:19:46.000 And they bragged on tape about how they were helping Hillary and the DNC.
00:19:51.140 You can't talk about any of those things.
00:19:53.180 They're not being allowed.
00:19:55.080 So if you're going to understand what happened, you have to understand the past.
00:20:00.660 Exactly.
00:20:01.220 You can't tell any part of this story that hasn't been blessed and sanctioned by Adam Schiff and by Nancy Pelosi.
00:20:12.300 And that's disgraceful, especially when you ask the question, Cui Bono, who benefits?
00:20:18.680 Who benefits from this impeachment trial?
00:20:20.380 Who benefits from an impeachment proceeding in the House where only one side gets to be heard?
00:20:27.200 Well, honestly, this this really goes to this whole thing is, you know, the way that the left is behaving now, they are they are acting like an out of control religion.
00:20:39.220 You are silenced. If you if you disagree, you're a heretic and destroyed. 0.81
00:20:44.920 And this is the Grand Inquisition. I mean, you know, Pelosi is is, I guess, or Schiff is Takamata.
00:20:52.380 He creates all of the rules and, you know, the outcome before the trial is even started.
00:21:00.540 That's right. That's right.
00:21:02.500 Or telephone justice, as they used to describe it in the Soviet era.
00:21:06.240 When a criminal trial was going on, if it was a difficult case, the judge would receive a telephone call and whatever distant reaches of the USSR, somebody from Moscow would tell them what the outcome was.
00:21:16.760 But the fact is they've been trying to get President Trump since before he was even inaugurated.
00:21:23.880 And the only reason Nancy, who deep down knows this is wrong, the only reason she's doing this is because she can't control the squad. 0.98
00:21:32.400 She can't control her own party. And so she feels like she has to do it.
00:21:37.440 And things like this have consequences. Those consequences are dire.
00:21:41.200 And we have to ask the question, well, what becomes of this?
00:21:44.860 If you do this, where does it lead? And is that really responsible for the American people, especially for a president who didn't do anything wrong?
00:21:53.460 But if this is what it's going to take for us to tell the rest of the story and to show how so many people in the Democratic establishment have abused the levers of government power, so be it.
00:22:05.200 But President Trump is going to emerge from this process stronger.
00:22:08.460 So, Mike, tomorrow night I am doing another broadcast.
00:22:15.820 This one is the Democrats Hydra. 0.56
00:22:18.960 And as I was going through all of the information, your name popped up and you're actually in this special.
00:22:27.320 And it is because you seem to question something that was happening in Macedonia and said, something's not right here.
00:22:41.900 And you're right.
00:22:43.320 And you filed a letter with, I think, the State Department asking why we were funding some things that we were funding.
00:22:53.520 I don't know if you ever got a response back, but I have the answer for you tomorrow on what was going on.
00:23:00.660 Did they ever respond back to you?
00:23:05.660 Whatever response I got was somewhat inadequate to what I was seeking.
00:23:12.880 I started seeing some disturbing trends.
00:23:15.900 I've got some friends in Macedonia and they were pointing out to me that Macedonia was a friend to the United States.
00:23:22.040 Macedonia, at one point in the very recent past, had a government that was friendly to the United States that was by and large conservative, especially by European standards.
00:23:33.620 Big time.
00:23:34.220 And they started seeing some trends that were very disturbing in terms of leveraging Soros money with U.S. foreign aid money in a way that was fundamentally anti-democratic and pro-leftist.
00:23:47.180 And it's very, very disturbing.
00:23:49.600 And I think that's one of the things that we need to uncover in all this is what the heck are we doing with all this money?
00:23:55.180 I'm not one who says that there is never a good reason for the U.S. to provide aid to a third party.
00:24:00.340 But unless we have a definite reason, and that reason is an open and transparent one, these will always end up being used to promote progressive causes worldwide and to undermine our own interests and values.
00:24:15.840 Mike, you will have your answer tomorrow and everything.
00:24:21.760 We left a lot of stuff on the edit floor because I just I only want stuff we can absolutely nail down and show the evidence.
00:24:30.720 It's happening all over the world and you're not going to like the answer, but you're going to finally receive an answer on what was going on.
00:24:41.000 Bless you, Glenn.
00:24:42.020 That's fantastic.
00:24:42.680 All right, Mike, thank you.
00:24:45.400 Thank you for everything you're doing.
00:24:47.060 Keep us up to speed on on what's happening with with Mexico.
00:24:52.620 I appreciate that you are actually on that case.
00:24:55.960 And I don't know how we're ever going to get a border wall built in in this climate.
00:25:02.720 But boy, if this isn't a signal that we need one, I don't know what is.
00:25:07.080 Thanks, Mike.
00:25:07.760 Hey, you're in Texas.
00:25:09.440 You and I can go to the Home Depot and we'll get started working.
00:25:11.880 OK, we'll do it Saturday.
00:25:14.600 Thanks a lot, Mike.
00:25:15.340 I appreciate it.
00:25:16.120 Senator Mike Lee from Utah.
00:25:18.020 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:33.940 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:25:35.280 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:25:39.420 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:25:42.980 Hi, it's Glenn.
00:25:44.140 If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?
00:25:48.960 If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.
00:25:53.060 You can subscribe on iTunes.
00:25:54.660 Thanks.
00:25:55.120 So the impeachment hearings begin tomorrow in the public and we are going to be loaded for bear.
00:26:01.920 Tonight, five o'clock, Stu and I and Jason are going to be going over some of these names.
00:26:07.280 So, you know, who is going to be testifying, what's you know, what's expected, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:13.320 But on Saturday, the House Republicans submitted a list of witnesses they'd like to have testify.
00:26:18.640 But what you need to understand is this is not a fair trial.
00:26:23.280 This is an inquisition.
00:26:25.520 The Democrats and Schiff control all of it.
00:26:29.480 So they will only call who they want to call.
00:26:33.980 And they have set out some rules.
00:26:35.840 For instance, you're never going to talk to the whistleblower.
00:26:38.920 You're never going to know the name of the whistleblower.
00:26:42.160 You're not going to talk to.
00:26:43.620 So we don't know the name Charamella.
00:26:47.000 Charamella.
00:26:47.360 Because, you know, they did release it non-redacted, unredacted, I guess, in one of the transcripts.
00:26:54.980 It's in there.
00:26:56.040 No, that's why Facebook is erasing all mentions of Charamella.
00:27:04.000 So if you've posted anything about this whistleblower or anything, all those pages are going to be erased.
00:27:10.080 This guy's being erased from history.
00:27:13.520 And you'll know why.
00:27:15.120 You watch the special, you're going to understand why.
00:27:19.000 This guy, his fingerprints are over everything.
00:27:21.480 Okay.
00:27:21.940 So they want to have Hunter Biden testify.
00:27:25.320 Totally reasonable.
00:27:27.280 Totally reasonable.
00:27:27.880 This goes back to why would they want an investigation?
00:27:31.460 Well, you could say it's just about his personal political gain, right?
00:27:34.960 Unless there was actually a problem with Hunter Biden.
00:27:38.340 So having Hunter Biden there and trying to figure out whether he was an actual problem is completely central to this whole case.
00:27:45.780 Kurt Volker, he's the U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine.
00:27:49.560 David Hale, State Department official.
00:27:51.880 Tim Morrison, Russia-Europe advisor on the National Security Council.
00:27:57.140 Nellie Orr.
00:27:58.780 Now, why Nellie Orr? 0.85
00:28:00.060 That's Bruce Orr's wife. 0.90
00:28:01.640 Remember Bruce Orr?
00:28:03.460 Oh, Nellie was the one who was the one who brought information about collusion from Fusion GPS and the dossier to her husband in Pillow Talk.
00:28:16.780 And he brought that to the Justice Department.
00:28:21.000 Oh, why would we want to talk to her?
00:28:23.340 And they also want to talk to Alexandra Chalupa.
00:28:27.260 The Schiff and the impeachment panel has said, no, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
00:28:34.060 No.
00:28:35.240 No, you can't talk to those people.
00:28:38.180 Democrats have the veto power over the Republicans' wishlets, which means Hunter Biden, the whistleblower, Chalupa,
00:28:45.180 none of them are going to be a part of this.
00:28:49.200 Adam Schiff is Takamata.
00:28:53.100 And Takamata, if you don't know, was the Grand Inquisitor.
00:28:57.200 He was doing the work of the Pope.
00:29:00.780 I wonder who the Pope might be in this particular case.
00:29:04.460 I ordered a Chalupa and a Takamata at Taco Bell yesterday.
00:29:07.580 Did you really?
00:29:08.360 Oh, those Takamatas? 0.91
00:29:09.280 Oh, they're delicious.
00:29:10.080 They're so good.
00:29:10.600 You'll never talk me out of a Takamata. 0.69
00:29:12.700 Yeah.
00:29:14.080 Anyway, so they are not going to let Chalupa testify and allow her to be grilled by any of the Republicans.
00:29:21.100 They also said, we will not serve as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the Bidens.
00:29:29.680 What sham investigations?
00:29:31.760 The ones the New York Times did?
00:29:33.800 Which ones are you talking about?
00:29:35.060 Which sham investigations are you talking about?
00:29:37.560 We're not going to take place the same sham investigations into the Bidens or 2016 that the president pressed Ukraine to conduct for his own personal political benefit.
00:29:49.400 So why wouldn't you want them looking into 2016?
00:29:52.580 Why wouldn't you like them looking into Chalupa?
00:29:54.800 Why wouldn't you like them looking into the DNC, the State Department, the whistleblower?
00:29:59.480 Right, because if your case is, as they just stated as fact there, he did this for his own personal political benefit, you need to prove that.
00:30:08.100 The only way you can prove that is to show that he was a conspiracy theorist, there's nothing going on there, but they don't want to have any of the people involved ask any questions about it.
00:30:18.680 Right.
00:30:18.880 If you're going to say that these are conspiracy theories, then let the sunshine in.
00:30:25.560 Just open up the doors and the windows.
00:30:28.540 Let the people see.
00:30:29.720 Trust the American people, but they don't trust the American people.
00:30:34.160 If they trusted the American people, they would have just acknowledged that we all have impeachment votes coming up in less than one year.
00:30:40.620 Right.
00:30:40.720 Donald Trump can be thrown out of office in a year by just voting for him and using the actually, you know, the normal process and the normal way of doing these things.
00:30:49.120 They don't want that to happen because they don't trust the people.
00:30:51.760 They think they might get it wrong again.
00:30:54.160 I have to tell you, I would love to have an actual trial.
00:30:58.180 I'd love to have really good attorneys take the information that we have.
00:31:03.420 That's all from FOIA acts, you know, the Freedom of Information Act.
00:31:09.560 We have it from released documents from the State Department, FOIA documents from the State Department, from from the administration, from the former administration.
00:31:21.580 We have audio tape and recordings.
00:31:24.160 None of this is going to be heard.
00:31:25.880 None of this is going to be heard.
00:31:27.680 And the American people need to see it.
00:31:30.540 You have to see it.
00:31:37.200 Tomorrow, I'm working really, really hard.
00:31:40.480 We're learning so much stuff and I'm working really hard to make sure that there is no way that this can be called.
00:31:48.420 What did he just call it?
00:31:49.960 A sham investigation or the conspiracy theories around 2016.
00:31:58.600 There are no conspiracy theories.
00:32:01.560 Everything we have is documented.
00:32:04.280 Everything that you will see tomorrow night is on tape.
00:32:08.120 And you're not going to believe that it's on tape.
00:32:11.280 You're not.
00:32:12.060 Stu and I were talking today because Soros is involved, of course.
00:32:17.440 And what he's doing is remarkable.
00:32:20.340 And Stu said, OK, but we do have the documents because Stu is really working hard.
00:32:28.400 I worked last week on the book.
00:32:30.080 It's this week for him to just go through and comb all the facts.
00:32:33.480 Today is his day just to go through all the facts on this special to make sure that we have everything buttoned up one last time.
00:32:39.840 And he's like, but we do have, Stu, we have a memo from George Soros himself, not an organization, him, to the State Department laying this all out.
00:32:55.120 And you're like, what?
00:32:56.300 What?
00:32:59.300 It's insane.
00:33:01.520 It's not a conspiracy theory.
00:33:03.620 It's like the Tides Foundation said when they were going through the Obama care.
00:33:11.080 And we said that it's going to go to universal health care.
00:33:14.580 It has to.
00:33:15.940 And he was giving a speech to insiders.
00:33:17.980 And he said, look, it's going to end up in single payer health care.
00:33:22.060 It's going to.
00:33:22.660 It's not a Trojan horse.
00:33:23.860 It's right there.
00:33:25.220 I'm telling you, it's right there.
00:33:27.640 They're that open about it.
00:33:30.360 And this goes against everything that I think even Democrats believe.
00:33:35.920 I really do believe that when Democrats hear this, if they have an open mind, if you're looking, if you're looking to excuse Donald Trump or convict Donald Trump, this is not the place for you.
00:33:50.300 It's not.
00:33:50.720 If you're looking for truth, if you're looking for what really happened and you're looking to see who is who are the United States representatives, what are they actually doing?
00:34:03.840 Who's doing this?
00:34:04.980 What are they doing in our name with our billions of dollars?
00:34:13.160 What are they actually doing?
00:34:16.140 And prove it to me.
00:34:17.540 Don't just give me a, hey, I think this is going to prove it to me.
00:34:21.100 Show me the facts.
00:34:24.140 You're not going to like it, but you have to know it.
00:34:28.280 And that's why I said to Mike Lee last hour, we had him on.
00:34:33.820 We were talking about the impeachment.
00:34:34.800 And I said, this all has to come out and you can do it in the Senate because you won't get any of this information in the House because they've locked it all down.
00:34:43.980 They've specifically cordoned off everything that is on the chalkboard.
00:34:48.180 I mean, that's, that's, that's quite, that is quite the testimony.
00:34:53.600 If you have people that are crazy and are making crazy conspiracy theories, just crazy, making them up, and there's no way to prove them, I welcome that in my courtroom.
00:35:08.180 Right, because you could show them to be a whack job.
00:35:11.200 Insane.
00:35:11.620 Right.
00:35:12.080 Show them to be insane.
00:35:13.680 Really, Mr. Beck, could you prove that, please?
00:35:17.100 Oh, yes.
00:35:17.500 Here's the document with her signature on it.
00:35:19.840 Here's the document with his signature on it.
00:35:21.500 Here's the document from Soros to her outlining everything that we're talking about.
00:35:26.080 Yes.
00:35:27.680 That's why they must deem this a conspiracy theory and give it no light of day.
00:35:33.000 Because once you have any of this in the light of day, you see not only what's happening in Ukraine, but you see what's happening today in South America, today in the United States of America, yesterday in San Francisco.
00:35:51.480 Oh, you'll, you will see what's being done to us and what's being done to the whole world using your tax dollars.
00:35:59.580 And, you know, we've been talking a lot, and I think there's an argument on the right, about what the best process is for the Senate when they do inevitably impeach Trump in the House because it's just under Democrat control.
00:36:12.160 Do you go ahead with a trial?
00:36:14.000 Do you just completely ignore it and not have a trial?
00:36:16.260 Do you vote before any evidence is presented and just dismiss it because it's just a joke?
00:36:21.220 Can't.
00:36:21.300 And I think, like, this is a good example of why you probably do want to go ahead with the trial.
00:36:28.340 You know, people keep comparing the House side of this to the grand jury, where the rules are basically set up so that the Democrats, the prosecution, can just present evidence without it being refuted.
00:36:40.520 That's kind of the way it's set up.
00:36:41.880 And that's the way grand jury is set up, right?
00:36:43.300 To get an indictment, you come in, you give all your evidence.
00:36:45.840 Is there enough to go after this, to make it a trial?
00:36:48.920 You say yes or no.
00:36:49.940 But all of that in the grand jury sense is done in secret because it's unfair, right?
00:36:55.440 It's patently unfair.
00:36:57.060 And it is unsubstantiated in some cases.
00:37:03.820 They're accusations.
00:37:04.760 And it's on both sides.
00:37:06.480 It's on both sides.
00:37:07.740 It's wild stuff on both sides.
00:37:10.600 Right.
00:37:11.080 So that stuff happens behind closed doors so that the, you know, it's not tainted.
00:37:15.680 You're not tainted by all the stuff that's not legitimate, right?
00:37:18.720 Here, the Democrats are able to make this case with basically no pushback.
00:37:24.420 And you can't even call competing evidence and witnesses.
00:37:28.260 In the Senate, that's going to be the different story.
00:37:30.320 If you just let the House thing happen, they get an impeachment and then you ignore it.
00:37:34.100 Number one, the Democrats are going to be able to say, look, they're just, they don't even look at the evidence.
00:37:38.060 They're just ignoring this.
00:37:39.080 Number two, you'll never present the other side.
00:37:42.440 There'll never be a focus by the American people on the stuff you've been doing in part one, part two, and now part three of the special.
00:37:48.360 And that's the important thing.
00:37:51.200 It really is.
00:37:52.740 It really is.
00:37:53.820 Donald Trump is a hand grenade.
00:37:57.600 He is a hand grenade.
00:37:59.500 And what's totally amazing is they know it.
00:38:03.240 The State Department said it.
00:38:04.680 John Bolton, who I'm pretty sure is probably all in on this kind of stuff that's going on, he said, Rudy Giuliani, I mean, he's a hand grenade.
00:38:18.260 He's just going to blow things up.
00:38:20.900 Yeah, yeah.
00:38:21.900 That's why people don't like Donald Trump, because he is blowing things up, but he might be rolling into a room trying to blow something up.
00:38:32.460 And what he doesn't know is that hand grenade just blew this wall down.
00:38:38.200 And it's not really what you were after, but that's bigger than what you were after.
00:38:43.880 And that hand grenade just exploded and just exposed all of this.
00:38:49.300 That's what's happening here.
00:38:50.720 They needed to stop him because he was a hand grenade that would expose all of this.
00:38:58.200 And you will see all of it tomorrow.
00:38:59.980 We're going to go on with the witnesses and what's going to happen in the next couple of days here in just a couple of seconds.

00:40:12.160 We welcome to the program our Canadian broadcasting friend, Brian Lilly.
00:40:16.200 Hello, Brian.
00:40:16.700 How are you?
00:40:17.100 You know, Glenn, I'm doing well other than I'm listening to you and Stu this morning because I'm on vacation trying to escape Canadian politics.
00:40:27.440 Just puttering around.
00:40:29.140 Yeah.
00:40:29.480 And I'm hearing you talk about Don Cherry, a man I know, like and respect.
00:40:34.620 And Justin Trudeau, a man I know, don't like and don't respect.
00:40:38.800 Right.
00:40:39.020 So this is crazy, Brian.
00:40:41.860 This is this is absolutely nuts.
00:40:44.400 You guys just elected a guy who has been photographed multiple times as an adult in blackface.
00:40:53.000 He was actually asked during the election because he wouldn't say how many times he'd worn it after the first night he was caught.
00:40:58.480 The first night he's caught, he comes out and, you know, he's on his campaign plane and he does one of those things with all the reporters around him on the plane.
00:41:05.340 And have you done this any other times?
00:41:07.900 Yes, there was one other time.
00:41:09.760 And then they released the photo of him in high school, dressed up in blackface, doing Deo.
00:41:14.420 And so now every time I'm watching the Raptors and they play Deo, I think Justin Trudeau's got to be in the audience.
00:41:20.280 But they go from that to the next day.
00:41:23.660 Another news outlet comes out with another video of him.
00:41:26.800 And now there's three.
00:41:27.820 And so he's asked, well, how many more?
00:41:29.880 Like, well, the number's not important.
00:41:31.780 To the nearest five, how many?
00:41:35.340 That was an actual question to him and he couldn't answer.
00:41:38.580 So, yeah, we just reelected him.
00:41:40.180 But beyond that, Justin Trudeau is a man who in Quebec, where the French part of Canada that he represents, they have a certain amount of say over their immigration.
00:41:51.400 And they're doing things that if any other part of the country did, they'd call it racist.
00:41:56.100 They want to impose a values test to become an immigrant to Quebec.
00:42:00.180 So do you believe in the following things?
00:42:02.320 And some people will say, this is good, this is bad.
00:42:04.640 But when a conservative politician advocated for that a few years ago for the whole country, Justin Trudeau called it racist, bigoted, anti-immigrant.
00:42:12.960 Quebec is, you know, the province, again, that he represents, is lowering their immigration rate.
00:42:19.020 They are reducing it because immigrants steal jobs.
00:42:22.480 Any other part of the country did that.
00:42:23.960 He'd call it racist and bigoted and anti-immigrant.
00:42:27.000 So a guy who is actually backing policies that the liberal left calls racist, anti-immigrant was just reelected.
00:42:34.680 But we got to fire Don Cherry for saying, you come here, honor our fallen.
00:42:40.420 My parents are immigrants.
00:42:41.700 Most of the neighborhood kids that I grew up around were immigrants.
00:42:45.260 We all learned about Remembrance Day and we all wore poppies.
00:42:47.720 Okay, so tell me about Don Cherry.
00:42:53.180 Can you compare him to an American sportscaster at all?
00:42:59.360 Something, how big is he in Canada?
00:43:02.860 Well, unlike Keith Olbermann, he's kept his job for years.
00:43:05.620 So he's picked up as Keith Olbermann.
00:43:06.720 You know, I'm not sure that there is a comparable figure.
00:43:13.900 He doesn't call the games like Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth on Sunday night football.
00:43:21.580 He's not a Bob.
00:43:23.100 He's not like Harry Carey.
00:43:24.500 He's not like Harry Carey.
00:43:26.160 So he's just this guy that he used to coach the Boston Bruins back in the day.
00:43:31.840 He played in the minor leagues.
00:43:33.700 He played in the NHL for a cup of coffee.
00:43:35.560 But he carved out this niche as being the Canadian everyman who watches the game, talks about what he likes, what he doesn't like, and, yeah, occasionally goes off on these things.
00:43:47.800 But his support for the troops has been huge.
00:43:50.340 The left has been trying to get rid of this guy for years.
00:43:53.620 And so, you know, I tweeted out a couple of things on this.
00:43:56.460 As I say, I'm trying to stay away from politics, but I'm on the Twitter machine on the weekend and I see all the outrage over this.
00:44:04.620 And I say, OK, so let me get this straight.
00:44:06.100 The country just elected a man who wore blackface more times than he can say, who backs a values test for immigrants, but only to Quebec, back dropping Quebec's immigration bill and was weak on Bill 21.
00:44:16.720 Oh, by the way, yeah, there's this bill in Quebec that Justin Trudeau won't fight that says if you wear a turban, a kippah, a hijab, any outward religious symbol, you can't be a schoolteacher or a cop or a civil servant.
00:44:30.220 He won't fight that.
00:44:32.120 Can you imagine a conservative?
00:44:34.620 Oh, my gosh.
00:44:35.240 Yeah, and the left elected him.
00:44:37.880 And yet Don Cherry says, wear a poppy if you come here.
00:44:41.280 Guess what?
00:44:41.720 My dad came to this country and learned about hockey.
00:44:46.000 He couldn't watch soccer all the time because back then you couldn't watch everything on satellite 24-7.
00:44:51.000 So he learned about baseball.
00:44:52.100 He learned about football.
00:44:53.080 He learned about hockey.
00:44:54.580 By the time I was born, a couple of years after he gets to the country, he's upset that my mother's going into labor in the middle of a football game.
00:45:01.900 Come on, it's the second quarter.
00:45:06.780 At least wait until after.
00:45:08.200 Brian, is there any actual evidence that he was even speaking about immigrants?
00:45:13.480 The comment seems to be he's upset with people who are there.
00:45:17.740 No, he says you come here.
00:45:18.980 Yeah, he says you come here.
00:45:19.940 But, I mean, he's talking about Toronto.
00:45:21.860 In fairness, I think he's talking about immigrants.
00:45:25.260 And there are a lot of immigrants, new Canadians, as people like to call them, that do wear the poppy.
00:45:30.940 Look, I think most people come to this country because they like the freedom.
00:45:34.900 And I know you keep saying we don't have the First Amendment.
00:45:37.420 We do actually have the Charter of Rights, which says you've got freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press.
00:45:44.940 How's that working out for you?
00:45:46.360 Well, it doesn't protect you from saying something your employer disagrees with.
00:45:49.880 Yeah, right.
00:45:50.360 And that's the case, right?
00:45:51.920 It stopped, you know, just like the First Amendment.
00:45:54.000 I can have the First Amendment in the United States.
00:45:56.160 But if I annoy my employer like that time you were going to hire me, Glenn, and then you found out I said something bad about Texas, you know, that that can do you under it in Rogers is like a Comcast, as you were saying, Stu.
00:46:10.720 And it is this huge company that just doesn't want the headache.
00:46:14.620 Now, unfortunately for them, there's a boycott Sportsnet movement going on now.
00:46:19.900 And people are calling up and they're saying, all right, I'm going to cancel my Sportsnet subscription.
00:46:26.040 If you know anything about the remaining people that have not cut the cord, the most profitable angle of cable is sports.
00:46:34.760 And on top of that, so they're a cable company, they're a broadcaster, they're also a cell phone company.
00:46:42.680 People are canceling their Rogers subscriptions across the board.
00:46:47.280 This could end up hurting them.
00:46:49.820 I don't know if, you know, it will be big enough.
00:46:52.160 It's tough to tell.
00:46:53.240 But my guess is that there's going to be more outrage from people that are actually upset over this than the social justice warriors that never watched Don to begin with.
00:47:02.620 I mean, it's crazy.
00:47:04.400 It's like the thing with 007.
00:47:07.320 You know, they're making they've they've banned the word Bond girls on the set and all this feminist nonsense with James Bond.
00:47:17.720 Who are they appealing to?
00:47:19.180 Because those feminists don't go to watch James Bond movies. 1.00
00:47:23.540 They're not going to pick their no, you're not going to have a feminist. 1.00
00:47:26.180 You know, I don't see I don't see Patricia Ireland going, well, wait a minute.
00:47:29.500 Hang on.
00:47:29.880 Maybe I'll go see that this weekend.
00:47:31.560 It's not going to happen.
00:47:32.500 I haven't been watch Bond movies unless they're reluctantly sitting next to us saying, yes, fine.
00:47:38.600 Yes.
00:47:39.120 Yes.
00:47:39.500 You've watched four rom-coms.
00:47:41.260 I guess I can watch a Bond movie.
00:47:42.520 Right.
00:47:42.980 So who is this guy that was the partner that weaseled with this stupid apology?
00:47:49.580 Ron McClain, who is he's been by Don's side since 1984.
00:47:56.020 And, you know, Don is good friends with a fellow writer of mine at the Toronto Sun, Joe Warmington.
00:48:05.880 And, you know, he's talked about the relationship with Ron before.
00:48:10.440 He says, oh, yeah, Ron's a bit more left than me, but we got along.
00:48:13.620 We're good.
00:48:15.200 I don't know what Ron was thinking.
00:48:17.480 Could Don have gone on air and said, look, I'm sorry.
00:48:21.640 Here's what I actually meant.
00:48:22.940 I didn't mean to offend you.
00:48:24.480 I didn't mean to offend people.
00:48:25.500 But Don's like, I'm not doing anything.
00:48:28.080 I'm not going to be a simp.
00:48:29.180 I don't know that word other than from Don Cherry.
00:48:31.820 But I get the context.
00:48:34.140 He's like, I'm not going to bend to anybody.
00:48:36.160 He's 85.
00:48:37.500 He doesn't give a crap what anyone thinks about him.
00:48:41.120 And he, I mean, you know, every year there's an attempt to shove him off the air.
00:48:46.220 So Ron McClain is Mr. Nice Guy that sits next to him.
00:48:50.360 He's the straight man.
00:48:51.740 He's the host of the overall Hockey Night in Canada broadcast.
00:48:54.800 So I think he's going to face a bit of a backlash.
00:49:00.400 But yeah, what kind of, you know, you've been a partner with this guy for that long.
00:49:04.180 And that's what you, that's what you do?
00:49:06.380 Yeah.
00:49:06.920 And, and Ron has been removed from different jobs at Hockey Night in Canada over the years.
00:49:11.840 And Don has stood up for him.
00:49:13.720 And so this is not going to go over well.
00:49:16.900 I'm sure they're not going to talk again.
00:49:18.660 But, you know, it's, um, as much as America is a football nation, Canada is a hockey nation.
00:49:25.180 And so people will be outraged.
00:49:27.440 But will they stop watching?
00:49:30.180 Probably not.
00:49:31.900 Um, maybe ratings will take a hit.
00:49:34.800 Um, and, and, and people will start watching hockey elsewhere.
00:49:38.640 I don't know.
00:49:39.540 But it's, uh, you know, I, I can't believe that there's more ink spilled over this.
00:49:45.000 And I predicted this on the weekend.
00:49:46.420 I said, tweeted it out.
00:49:47.960 There's going to be more ink spilled, more broadcast time.
00:49:50.420 All of this devoted to Don Cherry than the fact that our prime minister that we just reelected
00:49:56.020 in the middle of the campaign was backing policies, his own party calls anti-immigrant.
00:50:02.260 And because Don said, quote unquote, you people, which my Scottish immigrant uncle says all the
00:50:09.080 time, normally referring to me and others around me, I use people over there, I use, um, you know,
00:50:16.600 that's what cost him his job.
00:50:17.960 But Justin Trudeau gets reelected by the same people that are complaining about Don Cherry.
00:50:23.440 All right.
00:50:23.800 So, Brian, you, you got to call Don and see if he'll come on the show for us tomorrow.
00:50:27.840 Because I'd love, I'd love to spend some time with him.
00:50:32.760 I would love.
00:50:33.540 He's a great guy.
00:50:34.240 I bet.
00:50:34.800 There's two authors that I love hanging out with, Glenn.
00:50:37.420 You're one.
00:50:38.300 Don's another.
00:50:39.080 I'll send a photo of me at one of Don's, uh, uh, book signings a while ago.
00:50:43.980 Um, I went out to interview him at it, uh, just outside of Toronto.
00:50:47.400 And, you know, huge lineup, like the type of lineup that politicians dream of that, you
00:50:53.700 know, it's not quite Don, Don, Donald Trump Jr. and his triggered thing down in wherever
00:50:58.220 he was in the weekend, but for Canada, massive lineup, people standing in line for hours to
00:51:03.660 meet the guy and he's salt to the earth.
00:51:06.040 You're going to love it.
00:51:06.640 Love it.
00:51:06.960 All right.
00:51:07.220 Thanks a lot, Brian.
00:51:07.900 I appreciate it.
00:51:08.740 Uh, Brian, uh, Lily, he is a political economist for the Toronto sun.
00:51:13.100 Uh, he's a fan of ours.
00:51:14.520 We're a fan of his until he says something.
00:51:16.940 And then soon we'll, we'll stab him in the back so fast.
00:51:22.060 Didn't even know the guy.
00:51:23.200 Did you know the guy who I don't even hate that guy?
00:51:25.820 Wow.
00:51:26.120 The blaze radio network on demand.
