Transcript
00:00:00.060
Hey, welcome to Friday. What a great show for you. Lots of laughs and a little bit of spirited debate going on, especially the beginning of the podcast.
00:00:09.600
We have Steven Crowder on with us and we're talking about how voices are being silenced in America.
00:00:16.620
Then Bill O'Reilly comes in. He's on fire today.
00:00:20.000
And in the last part of the podcast, we have decided to kind of play the reverse draft, if you will, the NFL draft, except we're looking.
00:00:30.060
The last person to be picked is the person that we think we'd most like to face, I guess, if it was a president.
00:00:40.680
We went and tried to pick the team of the worst possible crappy candidates in the Democratic field.
00:00:45.920
They're all so close, but we attempted to do that today as well.
00:00:58.660
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:07.300
So, Stu, you want to start with Pointer or you want to start with Facebook?
00:01:14.740
Well, Facebook decided to do another new round of purging yesterday in which they.
00:01:31.940
Now, I know that's a joke on this show because everything ends up with a bullet in your head.
00:01:36.600
But we're starting to get to the point to where you can almost hear the guns being loaded.
00:01:42.840
Well, the bullet has been put in the head of several people's businesses.
00:01:46.940
And I think and it's certainly muffled their voices in a really significant way.
00:01:54.060
And some of these people are, I don't know, some of my least favorite people on the planet.
00:01:58.920
People like Alex Jones and also people like Louis Farrakhan who were both banned.
00:02:05.060
Now, I don't know about you, Stu, but, you know, I'm 50 something years old.
00:02:10.560
And I've lived with Louis Farrakhan saying crazy, hateful things my whole life.
00:02:26.300
But I've never, never in my life thought, boy, you know what we should do, shut him up.
00:02:32.780
Oh, one of the things, I think that one of the best things that we can do is hear what he's saying.
00:02:37.100
I want to know what Louis Farrakhan is telling people in his congregations.
00:02:42.440
I want to know because it's certainly helpful for us.
00:02:45.340
Yeah, does it help to silence Louis Farrakhan so you don't know what he's saying to thousands of people?
00:02:53.780
Is it best to just to be completely oblivious to that or should we see what he's saying?
00:03:01.540
And more importantly, lately, who exactly in Washington is in his audience?
00:03:06.580
I will say, however, this move is likely the, at least partially the fault of conservatives if you think it's a bad move.
00:03:15.400
And I, look, I have no love for Louis Farrakhan at all, but the approach here from conservatives largely has been when they go after someone who's supposedly on the right, and some of these people are and some of them aren't.
00:03:28.660
But you go after someone on the right, and instead of saying, like, wait a minute, this is wrong, you shouldn't be banning anybody, and then next time there's a controversy with someone on the left, we have said, look, I don't want people on the left thrown off of these platforms either.
00:03:42.140
Many people on the right or, you know, Republicans, conservatives, nationalists, whatever you think, many people on that side of the aisle have said, well, why haven't you banned Louis Farrakhan then?
00:04:01.660
I'm saying, wait, if this one's so bad, this one is really bad, and you're not banning.
00:04:08.920
So what I think Facebook is doing here is, look, we're getting rid of these people.
00:04:13.200
And they're saying, well, what's the typical talking point we hear every time we ban one of these guys?
00:04:25.080
You average neighbor Democrat, the one who just is just going on their own business, and you're just thinking, well, they don't really mean they want to get rid of the free market system.
00:04:39.040
And, you know, people like, well, Breitbart, they're dangerous.
00:04:47.980
Because if you don't think that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and all of those other Democrats that you might go, well, they're a little crazy or a little old or whatever, but, you know, they're the ones really running the show.
00:05:01.260
You have opened up Pandora's box, and now the people who are actually running the show.
00:05:16.200
She now has the clout to be able to threaten the people in Congress on the Democratic side.
00:05:24.080
If you don't vote with us, we are going to send our troops into your district, and we're targeting you.
00:05:35.600
And I'm sorry, but it is those people, it is those people that have the ear of Facebook.
00:05:54.580
And if you're on the left, I'm sorry, not on the left, if you're a Democrat, you need to look into Media Matters.
00:06:03.420
They're not just some, well, it's just somebody who's just trying to keep things fair.
00:06:11.620
And these people are the ones who are inside now saying who gets to speak and who doesn't.
00:06:17.620
And I'm telling you, if you start, we are very close for it being too late for the Democrats to stand up and say,
00:06:50.220
And I said nothing because I wasn't a trade unionist.
00:06:55.540
And I wasn't a capitalist, so I didn't say anything.
00:06:57.900
You better speak up now because this one is first they came for Alex Jones and I thought he was horrible.
00:07:10.420
Next pointer Institute, which I'll talk to you about in a second.
00:07:17.220
And I didn't say anything because I didn't even know what the Washington Examiner was.
00:07:22.680
The next one is, then they came for the regular Democrat.
00:07:27.440
And I wasn't a regular Democrat, so I didn't say anything.
00:07:34.140
These guys are truly the kind of people that lead us to Venezuela.
00:07:46.240
And we should also look at ourselves here because we need a little examination in the mirror of how we handle these things.
00:07:52.320
Because when the left comes up with a crappy standard like this,
00:07:56.380
hey, we're going to fire people for things that they say, even when they're dumb.
00:08:00.420
We're going to ban them from all these platforms.
00:08:02.240
We have a choice to make, either to argue for a better standard
00:08:05.220
or to argue that their crappy standard should be applied more broadly.
00:08:11.400
Hey, you know the crappy thing that's hurting us?
00:08:18.900
And now that standard can be applied more broadly.
00:08:21.720
So it happens, this thing that we think is unjust happens to more people.
00:08:26.320
I can tell you right now, here's what's going to happen.
00:08:28.700
They're going to start talking about some sort of a public utility.
00:08:51.860
They're going to get into bed with the United States government.
00:08:56.040
And do you think that's going to work out well when the government has access to the information and data systems of Facebook and Google?
00:09:12.520
Because, you know, look, it was people from Infowars.
00:09:17.600
Another one was Paul Nalen, who is, you know, to me, an awful, awful guy who ran for Congress and has said all sorts of anti-Semitic things, among others.
00:09:26.860
But can you, can you constitutionally even ban a candidate who's running for office?
00:09:36.920
We play these things every single campaign cycle.
00:09:39.260
Some legit KKK member will run for Congress, and radio stations are forced to play their ads.
00:09:45.200
They're saying horrible things, the worst things you can imagine, but they can't do anything about it because of campaign finance laws.
00:09:52.060
They're going to ban people who are actually potentially running for office?
00:09:55.720
This new decision from Facebook, if you get on Facebook and you defend the people who have been banned, you say, Laura Loomer is great.
00:10:11.680
And that's, you're not, this isn't you saying these things.
00:10:15.980
Thank you, because it'll be taken by Media Matters and taken out of context, and then we'll be banned.
00:10:21.880
But if you say that on Facebook, you can now be banned.
00:10:27.820
In some instances, when Facebook bans an individual or organization, it also restricts others from expressing praise or support for them on its platforms.
00:10:44.960
If somebody just disappeared, if your neighbor who was Jewish just disappeared, do not ask where they went.
00:10:58.780
Because if you really want to know, oh, you'll find out.
00:11:06.800
Who was the person that came up and was initially talking about digital ghettoization?
00:11:17.840
I mean, obviously there's massive differences here.
00:11:21.820
But listen, I mean, that is the same process being applied to speech.
00:11:34.200
I mean, it wasn't physical at the beginning in Germany either.
00:11:54.920
Again, you don't necessarily get to the end of a road when you start walking down it.
00:11:59.040
But if what is at the end of the road is something you don't like, don't take steps.
00:12:17.360
Did you see AOC, what she said yesterday about, she was talking about, we had somebody from
00:12:24.480
the fossil fuels industry come in and testify that fossil fuels can be good and healthy.
00:12:35.340
What do you think is holding all of those little cold tablets into the capsule, you idiot?
00:12:48.760
What do you, do you have any idea when they give you a shot with a syringe, what do you
00:13:01.080
Let me give you a little graph to work on at home, little boys and girls.
00:13:15.080
What you're going to find is they're almost identical.
00:13:20.340
When one goes down because you've banned it, the others go down.
00:13:24.340
When we have global recession is the only time the other line goes down.
00:13:30.040
I've done really strongly hard not to call people morons.
00:13:32.820
I said, I don't want to call people morons, so I have to just get it out of my system right
00:13:36.560
And I'm not going to say it about anybody in particular, but there's a lot of freaking
00:13:42.260
And I'm losing my mind because we're not waking up.
00:13:50.360
I think you're still in the middle of a commercial, by the way.
00:13:57.020
Maybe there should be some filters on this program today.
00:14:11.980
If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?
00:14:16.520
If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.
00:14:22.600
Well, another right-wing extremist, you know, the kind of right-wing extremist like Louis
00:14:27.840
Farrakhan is, the right-wing extremist Stephen Crowder is joining us now, a guy who is in
00:14:36.460
jeopardy of losing his over 4 million followers on YouTube, quite honestly, a company he helped
00:14:47.100
Now they are saying that, well, he's violating all kinds of rules and he now has three strikes
00:15:03.500
Last week I went on a couple's cruise and next thing you know, I'm getting my feet and levels
00:15:09.120
checked and being told about Xenu when I have measles.
00:15:15.560
Yeah, make sure you get it right before you know.
00:15:18.360
The timeshare sale there isn't exactly what's built.
00:15:24.560
We don't have three strikes on YouTube, so I don't want to get super nerdy on this, but
00:15:27.960
we were going to have three hard strikes on my YouTube channel, which, like you said, is
00:15:34.080
And with my lawyer, we kind of negotiated that down to one hard strike.
00:15:43.880
This happens because there are big corporations that abuse the system and YouTube doesn't really
00:15:48.980
And not just conservatives deal with that, of course.
00:15:51.460
But when you add that up, the cumulative effect of everything being demonetized, of other videos
00:15:58.560
also being either removed or deemed a violation of services, we really do have to deal with it on
00:16:08.360
That's the issue here with places like YouTube.
00:16:10.780
And, you know, I've gone out and met with the executives at YouTube.
00:16:15.540
We've sat down and said, OK, what are the rules?
00:16:23.500
We said, OK, how do we need to create content to make sure that we're not a foul of any of
00:16:33.980
So to give you an idea, Glenn, this is a little bit nerdy, but this is how it used to work.
00:16:37.740
You used to get hit with a copyright claim on YouTube.
00:16:44.400
And the people who were hitting you with a copyright claim had 10 days to file suit.
00:16:49.860
In other words, they say, hey, we think this is copyright.
00:16:52.920
And then they say, OK, we're going to sue you or not.
00:17:12.720
Naturally, we kind of expected to get in some hot water.
00:17:19.080
Well, once you paint Muhammad as Bob Ross in a parody of the article, you've kind of decided
00:17:26.900
You can hear the sound of the doors slamming behind you.
00:17:30.000
This last one, we did a parody of Kisses, Dr. Love.
00:17:42.180
We went through the effort of making a music video.
00:17:44.980
And this video was run in three different videos in the form of a clip.
00:17:52.880
We'll just remove it here from the other places.
00:17:58.520
And YouTube said, well, that's not how it works now.
00:18:03.680
But if you take the hard strike, then you can file your counterclaim.
00:18:07.580
And they'll have 10 days to file a suit against you and sue you.
00:18:26.120
So, we said, okay, we'll take one hard strike here.
00:18:38.060
And then YouTube just rejected the counterclaim.
00:18:42.520
It is the duty, the onus is on them to sue us the truth that we're guilty.
00:18:54.660
You know, the guy who does the parody songs that you've always loved for, you know, Eat It.
00:19:03.860
What you just did is what Weird Al always has done.
00:19:11.980
Well, that's where, you know, you suspect foul play because we're a conservative.
00:19:16.620
And I don't think it's completely ill-founded when you look at the fact that they just, you know, Facebook and Instagram just banned Alex Jones, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson.
00:19:29.940
Oh, wait, wait, wait, you have to hear from what, wait, wait, I have to give you this, this will, your head will explode.
00:19:34.860
This is actually what the Washington Post responded.
00:19:39.220
It's perilous to force, to force strict left-right labels and framing onto political extremists.
00:19:44.460
But even an elementary understanding of Farrakhan's beliefs place him on the American political right.
00:19:53.600
People assume the opposite because he and his followers are black.
00:20:00.440
No, I think Farrakhan assumes the opposite because he says, no, it's the opposite.
00:20:11.020
And someone's going to quote me saying I hate Jews.
00:20:13.300
Literally, Farrakhan has said that Jews are the devil.
00:20:17.460
Just to give you an idea, I disagree with Farrakhan and everything he stands for.
00:20:21.540
I would never dream of trying to get him banned.
00:20:24.520
I want him out there so that I can find him a better idea.
00:20:31.820
But he has been a part of my life, my whole life.
00:20:35.400
He's been saying crazy things since, I think, before I was born.
00:20:50.580
And the thing is, you know, we're, I don't want to say this to sound like it's boastful,
00:20:55.800
but we're far and away the number one conservative YouTube channel that's ever existed, ever.
00:21:03.160
And the issue is, you know, listen, if we're going to be banned from YouTube, and I don't know that we will,
00:21:09.520
It just means they don't want conservative voices.
00:21:11.480
I mean, we host people of all different kinds of opinions, of all different walks of life.
00:21:16.040
For crying out loud, this is the channel that does change my mind, which is literally 45 minutes to an hour of completely unedited,
00:21:24.420
long-form civil discussions with kids on college campuses.
00:21:28.100
And now we're doing segments where we actually just moderate college students conversing with each other and rationalizing their positions.
00:21:35.340
And, of course, all those videos are demonetized.
00:21:42.260
People can follow me and, of course, join up at The Blaze TV and support us.
00:21:46.940
But it's changed my mind, which is a segment that we do that, again, is one hour, no profanity, unedited,
00:21:54.580
completely contextual of people conversing in a civil dialogue.
00:21:59.200
If that is demonetized, if that is considered a violation of YouTube's policies,
00:22:06.540
can someone please tell me how can conservatives be on the platform?
00:22:15.440
I don't know how much more productive it could possibly be.
00:22:20.640
At a certain point, they just have to say, now, listen, we don't want any conservatives on the platform.
00:22:25.080
But they're not, and that's the dishonest business practice.
00:22:28.000
If today YouTube said, all right, we're getting rid of anyone who's right of center, we'd be having a different conversation.
00:22:34.600
And I'd say, okay, at least they're being honest about it.
00:22:44.580
I don't have a fleet of lawyers like most media entities do.
00:22:49.380
We have to fight this stuff legally on a daily basis.
00:22:52.520
It becomes a part of the conservative business model.
00:22:55.400
If you just want to take part on social media, you have to have legal consultants.
00:23:06.140
Thanks for leading the way and being brave enough to do the stuff that you do.
00:23:14.500
I mean, in some ways, you're borderline nuts for doing it because it's a great risk to you personally and to you professionally.
00:23:27.520
And I'm glad to work by your side, even in the background, just cheering you on from the cheap seats.
00:23:37.660
And everybody there, please get your measles vaccination before you go on a cruise.
00:23:55.240
Bill O'Reilly, Facebook began another round of purges yesterday.
00:24:28.000
I mean, we use them and we're fairly responsible.
00:24:31.600
However, there are First Amendment protections for organizations that deal with news and public affairs.
00:24:42.000
Well, the Poynter Institute yesterday came out and issued a list.
00:24:49.140
But that's not – see, the Poynter Institute is really a piffle.
00:24:55.880
Is that a word of a day or are you going to save it for another one?
00:25:08.180
And Bill O'Reilly's that and it doesn't matter.
00:25:10.240
No, Poynter Institute is respected by the left and people like Facebook.
00:25:16.420
And they use things like the Poynter Institute to be able to change their algorithm and say,
00:25:23.840
We're just going with the best experts that are out there that are saying these are, you
00:25:29.200
I mean, that's how Apple decides who goes in their Apple News.
00:25:32.880
What I'm trying to say is that if you have an organization that is being harmed by another
00:25:41.160
organization and you can prove your freedom of speech constitutional rights are being
00:25:47.140
violated, that other organization is in trouble.
00:25:52.160
YouTube right now is going after people because of copyright laws.
00:25:58.400
Now, you and I know – A, I appreciate copyright laws.
00:26:02.880
My stuff has been taken and I have to have attorneys that are watching over our copyright
00:26:12.620
Now, if you take a whole show of mine and you put it on the platform and you're getting
00:26:18.780
However, fair use is something that we all know about.
00:26:22.000
Facebook and YouTube now are going after conservatives by claiming fair use – by claiming copyright
00:26:30.920
And we had a team of attorneys in this week because we – last week we were flagged like
00:26:39.480
And we're like, wait, this is what – this is what you do.
00:26:43.100
You show somebody on MSNBC talking, saying something stupid, and then you comment on it.
00:26:55.720
So MSNBC didn't like the fact that you were using clips of their shows.
00:27:03.560
It's not just them, but they were one of the main culprits.
00:27:07.240
But there is a fairly well-defined fair use doctrine in the FCC.
00:27:23.660
YouTube says, you know, they have their own rules.
00:27:33.600
Now, if you want then to say to YouTube, hey, the federal government is fine with what
00:27:40.760
Can you explain further why you're giving us a hard time?
00:27:59.760
Barack Obama now hired by Netflix to do history programming.
00:28:09.460
Well, Barack Obama is a production company, and I don't begrudge him that.
00:28:14.620
He can do whatever he wants to do in that area.
00:28:18.260
So he's going to make Barack Obama history stuff, and Netflix thinks that enough people
00:28:25.060
I don't have a beef with any of that, as long as we know what the production is and who's
00:28:33.800
You know, what's really strange is I've gone to Netflix with history.
00:28:39.500
I bet Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck could both walk in and say-
00:28:43.500
If I brought something to Netflix, the odds are that I wouldn't get-
00:28:46.900
I got four movies made from the Killing Books, okay?
00:28:50.740
But the movies that I got made were made by companies friendly-
00:28:59.000
If I had taken my movies to Spielberg or to Katzenberg or to Disney, I would have gotten
00:29:07.340
But here's what you're failing to recognize, I think, Bill, and that is the times are changing
00:29:17.840
and it is- the kids are not watching television.
00:29:28.420
If we are boxed out of Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, there's no way to communicate to the
00:29:36.340
There's going to have to be another company that comes in to do programming, just like
00:29:42.580
Fox News came on the scene to challenge the liberal media 23 years ago.
00:29:51.260
You're not going to change the culture or force private companies to be fair.
00:29:58.640
So another production company is going to have to rise up.
00:30:04.660
And I know you don't engage in theory, but I would like to hear your response to my theory.
00:30:09.860
I believe that, I mean, Zuckerberg is calling for more regulation on him.
00:30:28.720
And I think with the moves that are making, you're going to see even the conservatives say, you know, these platforms, they're utilities.
00:30:44.000
I think that the government getting involved and regulating things like Google and Facebook is coming, and it is going to be really, really bad.
00:30:59.400
Because the socialists in these corporations and the socialists in our government are going to love to have that much control, power, and information.
00:31:09.160
Well, it's not going to happen under the Trump administration.
00:31:14.220
But if there is a liberal president next time around or in six years, then what you're saying is probably going to happen.
00:31:21.840
But there is a lot of money, and I mean big, serious money, on the right in this country.
00:31:27.600
And there's no reason why they can't start to form companies that compete against Zuckerberg and the others.
00:31:39.160
There's a huge audience, as Fox News has proven, that want to see programming that isn't skewed left.
00:31:47.780
And, you know, when it comes right down to it, we don't want government pinheads telling creative people what to do.
00:31:55.820
But we have to really understand that the entertainment industry, and that encompasses books and movies, is 80% left-wing.
00:32:04.000
And they hire based on their ideology, not on skill or creativity.
00:32:11.640
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:32:31.600
How do you want to pick a random piece of paper?
00:32:38.420
Because I guess Glenn has just taken the first pick.
00:32:41.440
Yeah, if you're going to do a random number, I just want you to know, now it's not scientific.
00:33:00.860
Sarah Gonzalez, host of News and Why It Matters.
00:33:07.940
Sarah Gonzalez, News and Why It Matters, gets the number two pick.
00:33:12.180
Andrew Heaton, host of Something's Off with Andrew Heaton, who she's learned to talk into
00:33:21.100
Pat Gray Unleashed gets the number four pick in our draft.
00:33:23.320
So, let me just explain this to Andrew because he'll understand it this way.
00:33:27.940
Imagine that all of the names that are running for president here, you're going to issue them
00:33:33.200
a red shirt because a team has to beam down to the planet.
00:33:37.720
So, the last person that's picked gets either a blue shirt or a yellow shirt, and they're
00:33:53.620
So, the last person picked would be the consensus that-
00:34:03.660
So, I think the one thing to remember here is we are trying to pick the worst president.
00:34:08.960
If you, no matter what your definition of how that would work, if this person became
00:34:12.580
president, you'd think they'd be the worst possibility for the presidency of the United
00:34:17.320
I mean, boy, I've got, I mean, I got the whole slate.
00:34:20.400
But I'm going to go because I just couldn't take it if it was Elizabeth Warren.
00:34:24.300
Elizabeth Warren with a, I would say this is a surprise number one overall pick here.
00:34:29.160
I mean, I could have gone to Bernie Sanders, but Elizabeth Warren would just grate on me
00:34:36.020
So, Elizabeth Warren goes first overall in the worst possible president draft.
00:34:42.920
I would say Gillibrand because I can't handle the social media videos.
00:34:48.160
She'd just be four years of working out videos and the beer pong with water.
00:34:59.880
She's giving away democracy dollars to her, to her voters so that they can donate, to everyone
00:35:09.260
So that she can get 65,000 donors so that she can make the debate stage.
00:35:15.860
She's giving away, she's giving away shroop bucks.
00:35:20.300
But mostly, but mostly playing beer pong with water is just, that's disqualifying.
00:35:25.220
So I would say, first two picks off the board, big surprise picks.
00:35:28.560
I thought for sure Bernie Sanders would go number one or at least number two.
00:35:40.900
My nightmare is to have to choose between Trump and Bernie Sanders.
00:35:44.460
I want to get him out real quick so that I don't have to make that decision.
00:35:47.920
I will say that's a huge value pick at number three overall, Pat.
00:35:53.460
Getting Sanders at three is something I did not see coming.
00:35:57.960
Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed goes number four.
00:36:12.920
If I would have had Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker on the same team,
00:36:20.080
Now, I will say, now I have two picks in a row here.
00:36:32.640
Okay, so say Captain Kirk had the last pick of the first round.
00:36:37.480
He gets the first pick of the second round so that we all even it out.
00:36:48.880
So I'm saying, Q, I'm telling you you're playing games.
00:36:53.780
There's a lot of Star Trek references going on that I don't understand.
00:36:59.560
So I am now at the point where I've got two picks in a row, a lot of good ones on the
00:37:05.960
I'm going to go with my first pick, Bob Frank O'Rourke.
00:37:10.140
I just could not take Mr. Hand Gesture, sweaty, climbing on counters like he's feline.
00:37:15.760
Could not, just could not take it if Bob Frank O'Rourke was on our TV any more than he already
00:37:27.860
I'm going to go with, I will go with Eric Swalwell.
00:37:33.140
Eric Swalwell is just, now, no, you might not know who he is.
00:37:39.440
But he's a guy that goes on MSNBC, says the most outrageous things he can to get attention.
00:37:44.100
He's basically running on getting rid of the Second Amendment right now.
00:37:50.380
And I would say both of my picks went down that road of O'Rourke and Swalwell.
00:37:54.960
So Swalwell goes number six as the worst possible president out of this crappy field.
00:38:05.880
I think I'm going to go with John Hickenlooper.
00:38:10.080
We've got to take these off as we go, because I don't know who's up left.
00:38:16.580
Hickenlooper is all about climate this, climate that, Green New Deal.
00:38:31.540
But I will say, Andrew has his chance to take another one off the board right now with the, let's see,
00:38:37.720
one, two, three, four, five, six, eighth overall pick here in the crappy candidate draft.
00:38:40.880
Well, I left New York about six months ago, and I would be horrified if Bill de Blasio became my president after I escaped.
00:38:48.600
So I'm going to pick, oh, I'm going to allow you?
00:38:56.580
That would have been a good pick, though, I will say.
00:38:59.960
In that case, I'm going to go with Julian Castro.
00:39:05.640
Now, Castro is an interesting one because you could get two for one there.
00:39:09.340
So are you taking both twins off the board here?
00:39:12.360
Can I do that or do I have to use my third place?
00:39:16.840
So Castro times two goes eighth overall to Andrew Heaton, if something's off with Andrew Heaton.
00:39:25.960
I'm going to go Kamala because I think she is going to be viewed as a moderate, but we all know that she's not anymore.
00:39:34.000
I mean, anytime you get a woman running for president, you have to question their intentions.
00:39:39.240
It's only women who say they don't want women presidents.
00:39:43.740
So I'm going to go for Joe Biden because I think there's a chance he just is drooling on himself within the first 18 months.
00:39:55.140
And then it's like whoever he picks, you know, when you're voting for Joe Biden, you're really voting for vice president.
00:40:10.600
No, I'm saying, have you heard his speeches lately where he's like,
00:40:17.280
So I think he may be drooling within the first 18 months.
00:40:22.760
Glenn Beck's second straight pick here in our snake format draft.
00:40:26.480
Everyone understands except for everyone other than me.
00:40:30.640
I'm going to go for Pete Buttigieg because I just don't trust anybody who everyone says you're supposed to hate Chick-fil-A on your side and you don't.
00:40:51.360
No, it could be good, but it could also be a massive mask.
00:41:00.900
He keeps saying in speeches too, look, running for president when, you know, coming from being a mayor of South Bend, I mean, it is, it's beyond bold.
00:41:16.180
And I just don't want the four years of the first lady, first man, what do we call it?
00:41:25.560
So we have gone now through 11 picks here in our disastrous Democrat draft.
00:41:30.460
And next up is Sarah Gonzalez of the News and Why It Matters.
00:41:36.520
Something tells me he doesn't have the experience required.
00:41:49.780
Because we've been picking on kind of the annoying policy stuff.
00:41:58.480
And Andrew Heaton has an opportunity to take someone off the board now.
00:42:07.140
And many people who are voting are asking the same.
00:42:10.640
I'm going to do a wild card and go with Seth Moulton.
00:42:15.400
You're going to leave Marianne Williamson on the board.
00:42:27.400
I don't know if she's from Florida, but she's a new age.
00:42:39.320
You do have another pick coming up, however, but not before Pat Gray has his third round selection.
00:42:44.220
Who is the worst Democrat left on the board, Pat?
00:42:48.540
I'm torn between Andrew Yang, who wants to eliminate circumcision, and Jay Inslee, who
00:43:13.460
I mean, except the whole, you know, circumcision is weird stuff going on.
00:43:18.560
He did say on the Shapiro thing that it was just a personal choice.
00:43:25.180
I mean, I know people who are like, I don't know why I've ever talked to those people.
00:43:29.440
In fact, I think I never talked to them again because it's just like, why are we talking
00:43:35.380
Anyway, my heart started to flutter there as I thought Pat might take an important pick
00:43:40.680
With my third round pick, I am absolutely going with Jay Inslee.
00:43:45.840
It's really running a one-issue campaign on the climate.
00:43:48.460
He has just been the first state to legalize human composting.
00:43:54.600
Human composting is now in play, which is interesting.
00:43:57.080
But I will say he also blamed the flooding in Iowa on Donald Trump, which I thought was
00:44:04.080
And I got to say, because I am terrified of Sarah Gonzalez allowing Oprah and Kim Kardashian's
00:44:13.340
I am absolutely taking Marianne Williamson off the board.
00:44:20.120
We already have too many Kardashians in the White House.
00:44:23.860
Marianne Williamson off the board with my fourth round pick.
00:44:29.780
First, we're close to finding the next president of the United States.
