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.
00:00:38.840 It's a it's a bad group of candidates.
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.
00:00:50.000 So all on today's podcast.
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?
00:01:11.600 I think I think we got to start with Facebook.
00:01:13.380 OK, go ahead.
00:01:14.740 Well, Facebook decided to do another new round of purging yesterday in which they.
00:01:20.240 I'm sorry.
00:01:20.760 What was that word again?
00:01:22.260 Purging.
00:01:23.000 I thought that was a really scary movie.
00:01:25.940 Purges in the Soviet Union.
00:01:27.740 Kind of scary.
00:01:28.600 Kind of scary.
00:01:29.580 Usually ends up with a bullet in your head.
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.
00:01:45.640 I think you can say that.
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.
00:01:58.640 Yes.
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.
00:02:09.080 I stopped counting.
00:02:10.560 And I've lived with Louis Farrakhan saying crazy, hateful things my whole life.
00:02:19.000 And I'm fine.
00:02:20.920 I'm fine.
00:02:21.320 I don't like Louis Farrakhan.
00:02:23.560 I think the man is a dangerous guy.
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?
00:03:55.060 And we've even said it before.
00:03:57.160 It's a very traditional talking point.
00:04:00.040 I don't want anyone banned.
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.
00:04:12.720 Of course they are.
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?
00:04:17.080 Well, why don't you ban Louis Farrakhan?
00:04:18.500 So they did.
00:04:19.200 I got news for you.
00:04:20.080 Does that feel good, though?
00:04:20.860 Is that a win for us?
00:04:22.240 I got news for you, Democrats.
00:04:23.680 You better listen.
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.
00:04:37.400 No, they won't really do that.
00:04:39.040 And, you know, people like, well, Breitbart, they're dangerous.
00:04:43.600 Yeah.
00:04:43.860 I got news for you.
00:04:45.600 You are going to be had next.
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.
00:04:59.440 No, they're not.
00:05:00.460 No, they're not.
00:05:01.260 You have opened up Pandora's box, and now the people who are actually running the show.
00:05:09.120 I mean, look at Ocasio-Cortez.
00:05:11.520 She was nobody.
00:05:13.400 She was a nobody 18 months ago.
00:05:16.200 She now has the clout to be able to threaten the people in Congress on the Democratic side. 1.00
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.
00:05:32.820 They are terrified of the left.
00:05:35.600 And I'm sorry, but it is those people, it is those people that have the ear of Facebook.
00:05:43.560 It is Media Matters.
00:05:45.540 It is the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:05:48.840 They are in collusion.
00:05:50.940 We have the documents.
00:05:52.640 Did you know that Media Matters?
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.
00:06:00.720 You need to see who these people really are.
00:06:03.420 They're not just some, well, it's just somebody who's just trying to keep things fair.
00:06:08.000 No, really.
00:06:08.960 No, of course not.
00:06:09.840 It's not what's happening.
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,
00:06:27.480 wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:06:29.000 You guys are a little too crazy here.
00:06:30.760 You're in bed with care.
00:06:32.220 You're in bed with Islamists. 1.00
00:06:34.320 No, no, no, no, no.
00:06:35.340 We're not doing that.
00:06:37.120 It's the hour is growing late for Democrats.
00:06:40.700 And they will target you.
00:06:43.780 You.
00:06:45.200 This is the old poem.
00:06:48.040 First they came for the trade unionist.
00:06:50.220 And I said nothing because I wasn't a trade unionist.
00:06:53.080 Then they came for the capitalist.
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.
00:07:05.540 And so, you know, I didn't say anything.
00:07:08.460 I'm going to give you the next one.
00:07:10.420 Next pointer Institute, which I'll talk to you about in a second.
00:07:13.860 Next, they came for the Washington Examiner.
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.
00:07:31.240 You're toast.
00:07:32.600 You are toast.
00:07:34.140 These guys are truly the kind of people that lead us to Venezuela.
00:07:40.500 Venezuela, stop lying to yourself.
00:07:44.460 That's who these people are.
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.
00:07:59.580 They're just going to get rid of them. 0.97
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.
00:08:08.600 And we constantly argue that side of it.
00:08:11.400 Hey, you know the crappy thing that's hurting us?
00:08:13.460 We should make it hurt the left, too.
00:08:15.800 And what does that do?
00:08:16.820 It just codifies that standard.
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.
00:08:25.340 Here's what's going to happen.
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.
00:08:33.520 They're going to say, you know what?
00:08:35.000 The internet is really a public utility.
00:08:37.180 I mean, Facebook, Google, it's so big.
00:08:40.860 It's a public utility.
00:08:42.380 Mark Zuckerberg is begging for this.
00:08:46.020 Now, why would they beg for this?
00:08:48.780 Because it's corporate socialism.
00:08:51.860 They're going to get into bed with the United States government. 0.59
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?
00:09:07.560 Do you see what we're building here?
00:09:10.260 Scary.
00:09:11.160 And you know, even scarier than this?
00:09:12.520 Because, you know, look, it was people from Infowars.
00:09:14.880 It was Louis Farrakhan.
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?
00:09:35.180 I know, we've done this a million times.
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. 0.59
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.
00:10:07.380 What has Laura Loomer done? 0.72
00:10:09.360 What has the Washington Examiner done?
00:10:11.680 And that's, you're not, this isn't you saying these things.
00:10:13.960 This is if you go online and say 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.
00:10:26.840 Here's the quote.
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.
00:10:37.780 So they disappear.
00:10:39.320 This is, I mean, this is insane.
00:10:42.180 This is what they did to the Jews. 0.97
00:10:44.960 If somebody just disappeared, if your neighbor who was Jewish just disappeared, do not ask where they went.
00:10:54.540 Don't ask.
00:10:55.860 That was the law.
00:10:57.700 Don't ask.
00:10:58.780 Because if you really want to know, oh, you'll find out.
00:11:02.340 You'll be on the next train.
00:11:03.560 This is how it started.
00:11:06.800 Who was the person that came up and was initially talking about digital ghettoization?
00:11:10.620 Do you remember who that was?
00:11:11.480 Yeah, it was, I want to say Edwin Black.
00:11:14.740 Yeah, I think it was.
00:11:16.340 And that's it.
00:11:17.420 That's it.
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.
00:11:26.820 Yeah, it's digital.
00:11:28.180 It's not physical yet.
00:11:32.280 Yep.
00:11:32.640 But it is digital.
00:11:34.200 I mean, it wasn't physical at the beginning in Germany either.
00:11:36.680 No, it wasn't.
00:11:37.480 First, you just couldn't have a business.
00:11:40.660 A business.
00:11:41.740 You couldn't have a car.
00:11:42.740 You couldn't have your own radio.
00:11:46.680 I mean, you would lose your phone rights.
00:11:51.040 Hello?
00:11:51.360 Is anybody paying attention?
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.
00:12:03.220 Don't start walking down that road.
00:12:04.720 Don't start walking down that road.
00:12:05.380 All right.
00:12:05.700 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:12:06.840 It's Filter By.
00:12:09.000 Spring is here.
00:12:09.920 Pollution.
00:12:10.620 I'm sorry.
00:12:11.080 Pollen is in the air.
00:12:12.900 No, pollution is too.
00:12:14.060 Yeah.
00:12:15.460 And that just comes.
00:12:16.500 It doesn't have to be spring.
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.
00:12:33.000 Oh my gosh.
00:12:34.120 No, you're kidding me.
00:12:35.340 What do you think is holding all of those little cold tablets into the capsule, you idiot?
00:12:43.060 That is a fossil fuel.
00:12:46.120 Petrochemicals.
00:12:46.720 What do you think Vaseline is?
00:12:48.760 What do you, do you have any idea when they give you a shot with a syringe, what do you
00:12:54.600 think the little plunger thing is made out of?
00:12:56.800 Yeah.
00:12:57.560 Fossil fuels.
00:12:59.180 Yeah.
00:12:59.360 Here's the thing.
00:13:00.160 Well, here's a nice thing.
00:13:01.080 Let me give you a little graph to work on at home, little boys and girls.
00:13:05.160 Chart on the graph.
00:13:06.660 Number one, life expectancy.
00:13:09.560 Number two, global population.
00:13:11.700 And number three, CO2 emissions.
00:13:13.880 See how close those lines are.
00:13:15.080 What you're going to find is they're almost identical.
00:13:18.000 When one goes up, the others are going up.
00:13:20.340 When one goes down because you've banned it, the others go down.
00:13:23.920 Yeah.
00:13:24.340 When we have global recession is the only time the other line goes down.
00:13:28.840 You know, I've banned myself.
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
00:13:36.000 now.
00:13:36.560 And I'm not going to say it about anybody in particular, but there's a lot of freaking
00:13:40.340 morons out there right now.
00:13:42.260 And I'm losing my mind because we're not waking up.
00:13:47.760 Where's your bottom, America? 1.00
00:13:49.480 Where's your bottom? 1.00
00:13:50.360 I think you're still in the middle of a commercial, by the way.
00:13:52.540 I am.
00:13:52.680 So I'm going to point that out.
00:13:53.440 Oh, yeah.
00:13:54.160 It's a filter buy.
00:13:57.020 Maybe there should be some filters on this program today.
00:13:59.680 Anyway.
00:13:59.900 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:10.720 Hi, it's Glenn.
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.
00:14:20.600 You can subscribe on iTunes.
00:14:22.200 Thanks.
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
00:14:43.520 build by promoting it and being on it.
00:14:47.100 Now they are saying that, well, he's violating all kinds of rules and he now has three strikes
00:14:54.420 against him.
00:14:55.240 Stephen, give me the update.
00:14:56.620 What's happening with you and YouTube?
00:15:00.100 Well, first, you know, I've seen better days.
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.
00:15:12.480 So, warning to everyone out there.
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.
00:15:21.560 No, I hate to correct you there.
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
00:15:32.040 close to 4 million subscribers.
00:15:34.080 And with my lawyer, we kind of negotiated that down to one hard strike.
00:15:39.500 And, you know, here's the thing.
00:15:41.640 A lot of these are false copyright claims.
00:15:43.880 This happens because there are big corporations that abuse the system and YouTube doesn't really
00:15:47.760 follow the law.
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
00:16:04.780 all fronts.
00:16:05.820 And it's a constantly changing rule game.
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.
00:16:14.460 So has my lawyer.
00:16:15.540 We've sat down and said, OK, what are the rules?
00:16:18.000 This is your platform.
00:16:19.000 That's fine.
00:16:19.500 Do you want conservative voices?
00:16:21.480 They kept saying, yes, yes, yes, we do.
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
00:16:29.440 these rules?
00:16:30.040 And we followed all of them.
00:16:31.940 And now they've changed.
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.
00:16:40.820 OK, and then you would file a counterclaim.
00:16:44.400 And the people who were hitting you with a copyright claim had 10 days to file suit.
00:16:48.720 That's the legal process.
00:16:49.860 In other words, they say, hey, we think this is copyright.
00:16:51.880 You say, no, it's not.
00:16:52.920 And then they say, OK, we're going to sue you or not.
00:16:56.420 Now, we've never lost a case.
00:16:58.380 Shia LaBeouf, the Bob Ross estate.
00:17:01.540 I think the Carpenter's estate.
00:17:05.500 Oh, that was a great episode, too, Stephen.
00:17:08.840 That was a great episode.
00:17:10.520 That's a classic.
00:17:11.040 Yeah.
00:17:11.580 Well, yeah.
00:17:12.720 Naturally, we kind of expected to get in some hot water.
00:17:16.060 Or dead.
00:17:17.280 One of the two.
00:17:18.580 But, yes.
00:17:19.080 Well, once you paint Muhammad as Bob Ross in a parody of the article, you've kind of decided
00:17:25.260 your line of work.
00:17:26.440 Yes.
00:17:26.900 You can hear the sound of the doors slamming behind you.
00:17:29.600 Yes.
00:17:30.000 This last one, we did a parody of Kisses, Dr. Love.
00:17:33.200 And we did Dr. Trump.
00:17:34.320 And we created the track from the ground up.
00:17:37.080 So, in other words, we have the project file.
00:17:38.520 We can show this.
00:17:39.080 This isn't a karaoke track.
00:17:40.100 We created the track.
00:17:41.080 It's clearly parody.
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.
00:17:48.800 One clip or another.
00:17:49.660 So, boom.
00:17:50.220 It was going to be three strikes.
00:17:51.460 And we said, well, hold on a second.
00:17:52.880 We'll just remove it here from the other places.
00:17:54.720 We'll keep it up.
00:17:56.520 And we'll file a counterclaim.
00:17:58.520 And YouTube said, well, that's not how it works now.
00:18:00.240 We've changed the rules.
00:18:01.560 You're going to get hit with a hard strike.
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.
00:18:11.300 Do they remove the hard strike?
00:18:14.400 Well, this is how it used to be.
00:18:16.980 It used to be before the hard strike.
00:18:18.880 Right.
00:18:19.100 So, we said, okay, we'll incur the risk.
00:18:21.320 We'll let our channel get a hard strike.
00:18:23.140 Because if you get three, your channel's gone.
00:18:24.980 It's gone for good, baby.
00:18:26.120 So, we said, okay, we'll take one hard strike here.
00:18:28.760 We'll file the counterclaim.
00:18:30.160 And then they can sue us.
00:18:31.660 Put their money where their mouth is.
00:18:33.580 Instead, we allowed the hard strike.
00:18:36.340 We filed the counterclaim.
00:18:38.060 And then YouTube just rejected the counterclaim.
00:18:40.200 This has never happened before.
00:18:42.520 It is the duty, the onus is on them to sue us the truth that we're guilty.
00:18:47.880 But YouTube rejected it without reason.
00:18:49.740 Stephen, what would you say about Stu?
00:18:54.660 You know, the guy who does the parody songs that you've always loved for, you know, Eat It.
00:18:59.940 What's his name?
00:19:00.600 Weird Al Yankovic.
00:19:02.180 Yes, I'm a nerd.
00:19:03.120 Yes, I'm a nerd.
00:19:03.860 What you just did is what Weird Al always has done.
00:19:08.780 Right.
00:19:09.060 So, what is the difference?
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.
00:19:25.800 And as you said, far-right Lewis Ferrick.
00:19:28.540 Far-right Lewis Ferrick.
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.
00:19:52.480 What?
00:19:53.260 Yeah.
00:19:53.600 People assume the opposite because he and his followers are black.
00:19:58.080 Oh, my gosh.
00:19:59.220 I'm going to lose my mind.
00:20:00.440 No, I think Farrakhan assumes the opposite because he says, no, it's the opposite.
00:20:06.680 Also, I hate Jews. 1.00
00:20:09.420 I think that's why.
00:20:11.020 And someone's going to quote me saying I hate Jews.
00:20:12.940 No, no.
00:20:13.300 Literally, Farrakhan has said that Jews are the devil.
00:20:16.240 Okay, let's be, and here's the thing.
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.
00:20:28.080 I despise Louis Farrakhan.
00:20:30.620 I despise him.
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.
00:20:39.160 And we've all seemed to survive it.
00:20:42.520 We cannot begin to ban speech, period.
00:20:47.440 Right.
00:20:48.040 Well, they've already begun to ban speech.
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.
00:20:59.820 Oh, yeah.
00:21:00.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:00.700 And I'm very grateful for it.
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,
00:21:07.920 there is no one left.
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.
00:21:37.380 We've accepted that for a long time.
00:21:38.560 But here's my question.
00:21:39.680 This is the ultimate question.
00:21:40.900 And we're going to fight this legally.
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?
00:22:09.880 How?
00:22:10.100 What would be acceptable?
00:22:11.840 If not that, what?
00:22:13.720 And no one has given me an answer.
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.
00:22:37.640 They're not.
00:22:38.340 And, you know, I have to have lawyers.
00:22:40.960 You know, I have one great half Asian lawyer.
00:22:44.580 I don't have a fleet of lawyers like most media entities do.
00:22:48.300 But we really did.
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.
00:23:00.780 It's ridiculous.
00:23:01.780 Stephen Crowder, thank you so much.
00:23:04.720 Thanks for everything that you do.
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.
00:23:25.740 And I admire you for that.
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.
00:23:34.500 But thank you so much, Stephen.
00:23:36.240 Well, thank you very much.
00:23:37.660 And everybody there, please get your measles vaccination before you go on a cruise.
00:23:41.580 I learned the hard way.
00:23:42.820 Thanks a lot, Stephen.
00:23:43.760 I appreciate it.
00:23:47.020 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:23:55.240 Bill O'Reilly, Facebook began another round of purges yesterday.
00:24:05.600 How long before they get to you and me?
00:24:09.120 You know, I don't know much about that world.
00:24:15.540 We use it on BillOReilly.com.
00:24:18.120 The Facebook machine?
00:24:20.020 Yeah.
00:24:20.400 I mean, you get the stuff out.
00:24:22.980 Right.
00:24:23.340 Because that is a powerful way to do it.
00:24:25.820 I don't have any trouble with them.
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.
00:24:46.700 Yeah, I saw that.
00:24:47.500 You were on that list.
00:24:48.360 Yeah, I'm on that.
00:24:49.140 But that's not – see, the Poynter Institute is really a piffle.
00:24:53.360 A piffle.
00:24:54.760 They're not important.
00:24:55.880 Is that a word of a day or are you going to save it for another one?
00:24:58.620 Yeah, a piffle.
00:24:59.040 A piffle is a word of a day.
00:24:59.900 A piffle is a word of a day.
00:25:01.380 But Facebook is.
00:25:03.680 All right?
00:25:04.020 So the Poynter Institute –
00:25:04.820 Well, the Poynter Institute –
00:25:06.240 No, no, no.
00:25:06.860 Poynter Institute –
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,
00:25:21.860 no, well, we've discussed this with experts.
00:25:23.840 We're just going with the best experts that are out there that are saying these are, you
00:25:28.280 know, unreliable.
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.
00:25:50.480 Well, so let me ask you this.
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
00:26:08.460 laws.
00:26:09.300 However, there is something called fair use.
00:26:12.620 Now, if you take a whole show of mine and you put it on the platform and you're getting
00:26:16.320 money for it, then that's a problem.
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
00:26:30.060 laws.
00:26:30.920 And we had a team of attorneys in this week because we – last week we were flagged like
00:26:37.100 50 different times for fair use issues.
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.
00:26:48.420 Like, that's fair use.
00:26:49.700 Who drove that action against you?
00:26:52.200 YouTube.
00:26:53.680 MSNBC.
00:26:55.260 All right.
00:26:55.720 So MSNBC didn't like the fact that you were using clips of their shows.
00:27:02.100 Yes.
00:27:02.340 And it's not just them.
00:27:03.560 It's not just them, but they were one of the main culprits.
00:27:06.900 All right.
00:27:07.240 But there is a fairly well-defined fair use doctrine in the FCC.
00:27:16.440 Right.
00:27:16.960 But YouTube is not covered by the FCC.
00:27:19.080 You don't have a problem.
00:27:20.420 FCC does not cover YouTube.
00:27:23.660 YouTube says, you know, they have their own rules.
00:27:26.500 No, no.
00:27:26.940 But I'm not talking about YouTube.
00:27:28.580 I'm talking about you.
00:27:30.520 You're the blaze.
00:27:31.920 So you guys don't have any downside.
00:27:33.600 Now, if you want then to say to YouTube, hey, the federal government is fine with what
00:27:39.840 we're doing.
00:27:40.760 Can you explain further why you're giving us a hard time?
00:27:43.880 That puts YouTube in jeopardy.
00:27:47.200 I remember when I was young and naive.
00:27:49.440 I think you need to hire me back.
00:27:51.300 I'm going to come in and take over.
00:27:52.760 I don't know.
00:27:53.500 I don't know.
00:27:54.160 Okay.
00:27:54.440 So let me go to this.
00:27:57.600 We'll do one more thing on social media.
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.
00:28:14.480 No.
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
00:28:23.700 will watch it to make it profitable.
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
00:28:32.140 behind it.
00:28:32.400 You know, it's really strange, though.
00:28:33.800 You know, what's really strange is I've gone to Netflix with history.
00:28:37.280 No, they're not interested in 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?
00:28:50.180 Yes.
00:28:50.740 But the movies that I got made were made by companies friendly-
00:28:55.700 Correct.
00:28:56.460 To 21st Century Fox.
00:28:58.440 Correct.
00:28:59.000 If I had taken my movies to Spielberg or to Katzenberg or to Disney, I would have gotten
00:29:05.980 no.
00:29:06.820 Right.
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.
00:29:21.460 They're just not watching it.
00:29:22.620 They're watching everything on YouTube.
00:29:24.060 I get that.
00:29:24.720 I know.
00:29:25.160 Yeah.
00:29:25.400 Everything is on YouTube, Netflix, Amazon.
00:29:28.420 If we are boxed out of Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, there's no way to communicate to the
00:29:35.680 next generation.
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.
00:29:49.900 That's what's going to happen.
00:29:51.260 You're not going to change the culture or force private companies to be fair.
00:29:57.320 That's not going to happen.
00:29:58.640 So another production company is going to have to rise up.
00:30:02.080 This is theory now, Bill.
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.
00:30:14.560 What company ever calls for more regulation?
00:30:16.980 You know what I'd like?
00:30:18.080 You know what we need around here?
00:30:19.320 We need more government inspectors.
00:30:21.560 We need more government regulation.
00:30:23.720 Nobody does that.
00:30:25.120 Nobody does that.
00:30:26.140 He's calling for more regulation.
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.
00:30:39.700 It's like the phone.
00:30:41.080 It's a utility.
00:30:42.000 We should regulate those things.
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.
00:31:12.800 They won't do it.
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.
00:31:36.880 Because they would make money.
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.
00:31:54.820 We don't.
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.
00:32:08.320 And they're only getting worse.
00:32:09.460 Other private companies have to come up.
00:32:11.640 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:32:19.140 So then, should we just go around?
00:32:31.600 How do you want to pick a random piece of paper?
00:32:35.280 Andrew, that's over there.
00:32:37.580 We're picking now random.
00:32:38.420 Because I guess Glenn has just taken the first pick.
00:32:39.460 No, no, no.
00:32:39.860 I'll take a random number.
00:32:41.000 You want to take the random number?
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.
00:32:46.680 For the love of Pete.
00:32:47.760 There you go.
00:32:48.520 All right.
00:32:49.300 All right.
00:32:50.000 Let's see.
00:32:50.460 Who do we have?
00:32:52.160 I got number one.
00:32:53.400 Okay.
00:32:53.740 So, there we go.
00:32:54.640 Glenn gets number one anyway.
00:32:55.420 I haven't even opened it.
00:32:56.380 Who's got two?
00:32:57.100 I did get number one.
00:32:58.580 Oh, you did?
00:32:58.980 I really did.
00:32:59.980 I was just joking.
00:33:00.520 I've got two.
00:33:00.860 Sarah Gonzalez, host of News and Why It Matters.
00:33:02.520 We know it's rigged already.
00:33:03.820 It's rigged.
00:33:04.500 This thing is rigged.
00:33:05.400 It's a rigged system.
00:33:06.620 It's God telling us.
00:33:07.720 All right.
00:33:07.940 Sarah Gonzalez, News and Why It Matters, gets the number two pick. 0.62
00:33:10.400 Who has three?
00:33:11.480 I've got three.
00:33:12.180 Andrew Heaton, host of Something's Off with Andrew Heaton, who she's learned to talk into
00:33:15.780 the microphone.
00:33:16.320 He's going to be a broadcaster.
00:33:17.380 I've got three.
00:33:18.060 All right.
00:33:18.340 He's got number three.
00:33:19.400 I have number four.
00:33:20.560 Pat Gray.
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.
00:33:37.600 Okay?
00:33:37.720 So, the last person that's picked gets either a blue shirt or a yellow shirt, and they're
00:33:44.360 the only one coming back.
00:33:45.520 Gold shirt, but okay.
00:33:46.620 Yeah, gold shirt.
00:33:47.420 Okay.
00:33:47.940 All right, Glenn.
00:33:48.440 You got it?
00:33:49.080 Yeah.
00:33:49.380 Okay.
00:33:49.940 All right.
00:33:50.360 So, we're going for the-
00:33:51.340 But now I don't understand it.
00:33:52.780 Right.
00:33:53.620 So, the last person picked would be the consensus that-
00:33:58.300 That's the best candidate.
00:33:59.140 The best candidate that we wouldn't want.
00:34:01.280 Yeah, the least offensive.
00:34:02.100 Least offensive.
00:34:02.500 We're going to back into 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
00:34:16.520 States out of this field.
00:34:17.320 I mean, boy, I've got, I mean, I got the whole slate.
00:34:19.860 You do?
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 1.00
00:34:33.440 after a while.
00:34:34.460 That would be agonizing.
00:34:36.020 So, Elizabeth Warren goes first overall in the worst possible president draft. 1.00
00:34:40.380 We go to Sarah Gonzalez.
00:34:41.380 News and why it matters, Sarah?
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.
00:34:53.240 That's unacceptable.
00:34:53.920 That is absolutely unacceptable.
00:34:56.020 What about the democracy dollars?
00:34:56.660 The latest, her latest is democracy dollars.
00:34:58.620 What the hell are democracy dollars?
00:34:59.880 She's giving away democracy dollars to her, to her voters so that they can donate, to everyone 0.81
00:35:06.720 so that they can donate to her campaign.
00:35:08.600 Yeah.
00:35:08.880 What is that?
00:35:09.260 So that she can get 65,000 donors so that she can make the debate stage. 1.00
00:35:14.720 Oh my gosh.
00:35:15.860 She's giving away, she's giving away shroop bucks. 1.00
00:35:17.880 Yes.
00:35:18.260 Right from shroop farms.
00:35:19.580 Yes.
00:35:20.040 Yes.
00:35:20.300 But mostly, but mostly playing beer pong with water is just, that's disqualifying.
00:35:23.900 All right.
00:35:24.360 That is.
00:35:24.860 Number three.
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.
00:35:31.960 I did too.
00:35:32.800 We go to Andrew Heaton.
00:35:34.260 Something's off with Andrew Heaton.
00:35:35.340 I'm going to get Bernie Sanders.
00:35:36.560 Bernie Sanders.
00:35:37.180 That is my...
00:35:38.000 You like Bernie Sanders.
00:35:39.320 What do you mean?
00:35:40.020 That's not fair.
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.
00:35:51.240 I'm impressed by that by Andrew Heaton.
00:35:53.280 Yeah.
00:35:53.460 Getting Sanders at three is something I did not see coming.
00:35:56.600 That's a bargain.
00:35:57.200 It's a bargain.
00:35:57.960 Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed goes number four.
00:36:00.360 Oh, wow.
00:36:04.140 Still some pretty good ones to choose from.
00:36:06.600 I'm going to say Cory Booker.
00:36:09.240 Oh, damn it.
00:36:09.940 That was my number two pick.
00:36:11.360 That was my number two.
00:36:12.920 If I would have had Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker on the same team,
00:36:17.040 there's no way you beat me for obnoxious.
00:36:20.080 Now, I will say, now I have two picks in a row here.
00:36:23.220 It's snake draft format.
00:36:24.700 Wait, you have two.
00:36:25.660 That's how snake draft works here.
00:36:27.200 Yes, that's how we do it.
00:36:28.460 You didn't say we were doing it.
00:36:29.560 Explain that to me in Star Trek terminology.
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.
00:36:41.760 Like in episode 14.
00:36:43.520 Yes, exactly.
00:36:44.200 In episode 14.
00:36:44.920 And then we go back around this way.
00:36:46.000 Now it's rigged.
00:36:46.900 Now this is like next generation.
00:36:48.880 So I'm saying, Q, I'm telling you you're playing games.
00:36:52.160 That's what's happening here.
00:36:53.780 There's a lot of Star Trek references going on that I don't understand.
00:36:56.700 I will not play your charade anymore.
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
00:37:04.080 field, and still on the board.
00:37:05.960 I'm going to go with my first pick, Bob Frank O'Rourke.
00:37:09.420 Oh, come on. 0.87
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
00:37:21.220 is.
00:37:22.360 And with my next pick.
00:37:24.860 This is not right.
00:37:25.740 It starts to get a little bit difficult here.
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.
00:37:36.820 He's currently pulling at zero percent.
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.
00:37:47.020 He's an irritating attention hog.
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.
00:38:00.340 Next up, Pat Gray.
00:38:03.580 Wow.
00:38:05.880 I think I'm going to go with John Hickenlooper.
00:38:08.140 Really?
00:38:08.880 Yeah.
00:38:09.440 Hickenlooper.
00:38:10.080 We've got to take these off as we go, because I don't know who's up left.
00:38:13.800 Hickenlooper is a climate change nightmare.
00:38:16.580 Hickenlooper is all about climate this, climate that, Green New Deal.
00:38:21.860 He is a true believer in algorithm.
00:38:26.720 He is.
00:38:27.460 You're triggering Andrew.
00:38:28.780 You are triggering Andrew a little bit.
00:38:30.080 I like the moderates.
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.
00:38:48.320 Yes.
00:38:48.600 So I'm going to pick, oh, I'm going to allow you?
00:38:50.280 Is that fair?
00:38:50.700 He's still on the fence.
00:38:51.660 He's not in the race.
00:38:53.020 So de Blasio.
00:38:53.880 No, those are on the fence.
00:38:55.160 He can't pull from on the fence.
00:38:56.580 That would have been a good pick, though, I will say.
00:38:58.260 A very good pick.
00:38:59.520 All right.
00:38:59.960 In that case, I'm going to go with Julian Castro.
00:39:02.780 All right.
00:39:03.160 Well, you guys are taking all of my picks.
00:39:05.640 Now, Castro is an interesting one because you could get two for one there.
00:39:08.100 There is a twin involved.
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?
00:39:14.600 Yeah, I'll take both Castros.
00:39:15.740 Okay.
00:39:16.840 So Castro times two goes eighth overall to Andrew Heaton, if something's off with Andrew Heaton.
00:39:22.220 Now, the news and why it matters.
00:39:23.440 Sarah Gonzalez with the ninth pick.
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.
00:39:32.760 And I think she could be dangerous.
00:39:34.000 I mean, anytime you get a woman running for president, you have to question their intentions. 0.92
00:39:36.900 It's always the women who say this. 1.00
00:39:39.240 It's only women who say they don't want women presidents. 1.00
00:39:42.220 I want that to be known to the nation.
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.
00:40:04.140 Wait, what?
00:40:05.320 Are you saying you're going to kill Joe Biden?
00:40:07.320 No, don't even joke about that.
00:40:09.460 Don't even joke about that.
00:40:10.600 No, I'm saying, have you heard his speeches lately where he's like,
00:40:13.640 He's slipping.
00:40:17.280 So I think he may be drooling within the first 18 months.
00:40:19.580 Well, he might be.
00:40:21.440 All right.
00:40:21.640 We are now in the third round.
00:40:22.760 Glenn Beck's second straight pick here in our snake format draft.
00:40:25.600 Oh, yeah.
00:40:25.860 Another one?
00:40:26.480 Everyone understands except for everyone other than me.
00:40:28.820 Here we go.
00:40:29.680 I get another one?
00:40:29.900 Yes, you get another one here.
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.
00:40:50.080 I think that could be good.
00:40:51.360 No, it could be good, but it could also be a massive mask.
00:40:55.200 Yeah, I also.
00:40:55.900 He's at night going, I hate Chick-fil-A.
00:40:58.120 When I'm president, no chickens left.
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.
00:41:12.520 Don't say that about yourself.
00:41:14.720 It's so irritating.
00:41:16.180 And I just don't want the four years of the first lady, first man, what do we call it?
00:41:22.280 Oh, gosh.
00:41:23.340 That would be.
00:41:24.240 First gentleman.
00:41:25.160 All right.
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.
00:41:33.360 I'm going to go with Wayne Messam.
00:41:35.280 Wayne Messam.
00:41:36.520 Something tells me he doesn't have the experience required.
00:41:39.680 Now, he is the mayor of Miramar, Florida.
00:41:41.880 Well, that is true.
00:41:43.200 You said Miramar.
00:41:44.620 Miramar, Florida.
00:41:45.260 Well, that does not change anything.
00:41:47.080 Okay.
00:41:47.880 So, yeah, Wayne Messam, that's a good one.
00:41:49.780 Because we've been picking on kind of the annoying policy stuff.
00:41:52.460 Picking someone who probably is not qualified.
00:41:54.860 I mean, Amy Klobuchar is still on the board.
00:41:57.200 She is.
00:41:57.660 She is.
00:41:58.480 And Andrew Heaton has an opportunity to take someone off the board now.
00:42:01.880 Andrew, Democratic disastrous draft.
00:42:04.480 Who is Seth Moulton?
00:42:06.000 That's a great question.
00:42:07.140 And many people who are voting are asking the same.
00:42:09.500 Okay.
00:42:10.140 You know what?
00:42:10.640 I'm going to do a wild card and go with Seth Moulton.
00:42:12.240 Okay.
00:42:12.940 Seth Moulton.
00:42:13.300 All right.
00:42:13.740 All right.
00:42:13.900 Democratic representative.
00:42:15.400 You're going to leave Marianne Williamson on the board.
00:42:17.900 Who is Marianne Williamson? 0.99
00:42:19.120 Okay.
00:42:19.580 Oh, Marianne Williamson.
00:42:21.780 That's an Oprah guru.
00:42:23.400 She'd be fantastic. 0.78
00:42:24.040 Oh, wait.
00:42:24.400 Hold on.
00:42:24.740 Is that the psychic from Florida?
00:42:26.300 No.
00:42:26.940 No.
00:42:27.400 I don't know if she's from Florida, but she's a new age. 1.00
00:42:30.400 She's not a psychic, but she's new age. 0.60
00:42:32.360 I'm in.
00:42:32.500 Sarah wants her to be president. 1.00
00:42:33.700 Oh, she would be a scream. 0.97
00:42:35.900 Can I change mine?
00:42:36.880 Can I do it?
00:42:37.300 Can I do it?
00:42:37.600 You cannot.
00:42:37.840 That is not how drafts work.
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?
00:42:47.160 I think I'm going to.
00:42:48.540 I'm torn between Andrew Yang, who wants to eliminate circumcision, and Jay Inslee, who
00:42:58.860 I think I just confused Jim Hickenlooper for.
00:43:02.140 John Hickenlooper.
00:43:03.000 John Hickenlooper.
00:43:04.480 See, I even mixed up the name.
00:43:07.220 I think I'm going to go Andrew Yang.
00:43:09.280 Andrew Yang off the board.
00:43:11.820 There we go.
00:43:12.060 I kind of like Andrew Yang.
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.
00:43:22.060 He didn't want to ban it.
00:43:23.260 And Ben accepted that.
00:43:24.780 Yeah.
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
00:43:33.200 about this?
00:43:33.720 Let's move on with our lives.
00:43:34.900 Yes.
00:43:35.380 Anyway, my heart started to flutter there as I thought Pat might take an important pick
00:43:39.740 out of my draft.
00:43:40.680 With my third round pick, I am absolutely going with Jay Inslee.
00:43:43.820 Inslee is a huge climate guy.
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.
00:43:51.900 That happened over the last 24 hours.
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
00:44:01.700 a nice touch.
00:44:02.400 So I'll go Jay Inslee there.
00:44:04.080 And I got to say, because I am terrified of Sarah Gonzalez allowing Oprah and Kim Kardashian's
00:44:10.760 guru to be president of the United States.
00:44:12.280 No, don't do it.
00:44:12.840 Don't do it.
00:44:13.340 I am absolutely taking Marianne Williamson off the board.
00:44:16.500 Oh, man.
00:44:17.360 I do not.
00:44:18.660 No.
00:44:19.540 I don't.
00:44:20.120 We already have too many Kardashians in the White House.
00:44:22.420 I don't want more showing up.
00:44:23.860 Marianne Williamson off the board with my fourth round pick. 0.99
00:44:26.360 Pat Gray is up next.
00:44:27.660 Crushed my dreams.
00:44:28.260 Okay.
00:44:28.560 We're going to do that here in a second.
00:44:29.780 First, we're close to finding the next president of the United States.
00:44:34.080 And one that I think no one will know.
00:44:40.460 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:44:45.180 On demand.
