00:00:00.000
Good morning. Thank you so much, Hillary. We've got a lot to talk about today as always and not
00:00:07.760
enough time and really, really good stories for you. Home Title Lock is our sponsor. The
00:00:14.100
annoying robocalls, the ones that say you're pre-approved for credit cards or loans. Be
00:00:18.420
really, really careful. Nobody with credibility is doing that. Your home's title and mortgage
00:00:24.400
records are online. And when a data breach occurs, like recently in millions of home titles and
00:00:29.420
mortgages are exposed to thieves, that's when the risk of home title fraud skyrockets. Here's how
00:00:35.440
they do it. They forge documents stating that you sold your home, listing themselves as the new
00:00:42.460
owner, and then they go out and they take out loans against your home and stick you with the
00:00:48.300
payments. No insurance, no bank, no identity theft protection is covering you for this. Nobody's
00:00:55.320
watching this. But for pennies a day, Home Title Lock puts a barrier around your home's online title.
00:01:01.420
Getting a credit card loan or robocalls or mail, Home Title Lock will get you through this period
00:01:08.280
and give you 60 days risk-free of protection. Register your address now to verify that you're
00:01:14.460
not already a victim and protect your home's title. Go to HomeTitleLock.com. It's HomeTitleLock.com.
00:01:20.780
HomeTitleLock.com. It is time now that we decide who we trust. Do we trust anyone?
00:01:47.020
We really shouldn't. We should trust our own intellect and our own willingness to do the
00:01:54.000
hard work and verify facts ourselves. But who's going to help guide you? Who do you believe enough
00:02:02.120
to say, well, I'm going to spend my time looking that up? We begin there. And what's really happening
00:02:08.240
to credible, decent people, how they are being smeared and destroyed by the press,
00:02:16.620
we begin there in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:24.620
All right, let me tell you a little bit about SimpliSafe. SimpliSafe
00:02:28.660
wants to remind you that on the average, a burglary occurs once every 23 seconds. So the time that I
00:02:36.760
have done this commercial, two and a half people have had their houses robbed. That's pretty amazing.
00:02:43.600
Pretty amazing. And SimpliSafe can help you by putting an alarm system in that you really need
00:02:49.520
for your home. Yeah, it's something important. Most people have alarms and you just kind of go to the
00:02:57.480
bottom of the pile for police response, which is not exactly helpful. It takes them 45 minutes to show
00:03:04.460
up. With SimpliSafe, though, the average is seven minutes because they have the state-of-the-art,
00:03:08.200
round-the-clock home monitoring, and it comes with no contracts, no fees, and it's only $15 a month.
00:03:14.040
You're not going to beat this. Their equipment is really nice. It's basically invisible. And once
00:03:19.580
you've installed it, you've almost basically, I mean, you put it in and you just kind of have to
00:03:24.080
forget about it. You don't have to worry about it again because it does its job. It does its job
00:03:27.140
every single time and it's reliable. And for $15 a month, you don't have to like mortgage the house
00:03:32.620
to protect it. Go to SimpliSafeBeck.com. Get a free HD security camera when you order.
00:03:37.520
It's $100 value. You'll have eyes on your home 24-7 and video evidence if someone does try to get in.
00:03:43.520
Free HD security camera now at SimpliSafeBeck.com. It's SimpliSafeBeck.com.
00:04:02.620
I want to talk to you a little bit about a journalist, a guy who's worked for the New York
00:04:12.340
Times, the Washington Post, the Washington Times. I think the Times are the examiner. I think it was
00:04:19.600
the Times. He has worked for the Associated Press. He is an award-winning investigative journalist
00:04:27.020
who has taken and done investigative journalism that took down, you know, different policies on
00:04:35.740
George Bush, on Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump. He is an equal opportunity reporter.
00:04:44.640
He is not someone who is looking for his truth. He's looking for the truth. He has, again,
00:04:51.940
worked at all of the quote-unquote best places. But since he has started working on Ukraine
00:05:00.120
and telling the truth and doing the only real heavy lifting on Ukraine, he is being destroyed now
00:05:08.340
in the press. And I want to show you how Google just destroys people. If you look for John Solomon
00:05:17.480
now, you get the first thing, leaked memo. Colleagues unload on John Solomon. The next one,
00:05:27.240
how conservative columnists helped push the narrative of Trump. Then you have articles from
00:05:37.880
the New York Times. Let me see if I can, let me add in Ukraine and John Solomon and see what
00:05:47.260
else we get. Let's see. We get real, real clear politics. Top stories. Rudy Giuliani. Trump is
00:05:55.140
being framed. This document shows the Iranian prosecutor under oath. The Washington Post.
00:06:00.560
Trump's anti-impeachment strategy is materializing and it could work. Then you have John Solomon,
00:06:07.120
Ukraine. Colleagues unload. How a conservative columnist helped push the agenda. Then you have a
00:06:13.620
John Solomon article there. Then another article from him. Then you have foreignpolicy.com. How a DC news
00:06:22.660
site amplified dubious Ukrainian claims. Then you have the New Republic talking about John Solomon's
00:06:30.840
role in laundering the Ukraine scandal. Another one from the Intercept. Reporters helped Trump spread lies
00:06:38.280
about Biden in Ukraine. Then the lawfare. You have a timeline of the Trump-Ukraine scandal and it talks
00:06:48.280
about John Solomon in that. This guy is being decimated, decimated right now. Let me, let me read this.
00:07:01.600
The clock is ticking down. Thursday, 9.30 Eastern, 6.30 Pacific. I will show you the facts behind the real
00:07:10.720
story in Ukraine. Why was Nancy Pelosi so quick to change her mind on impeachment? The smoking gun,
00:07:17.840
just not the one they claim. Join me on YouTube and Facebook. Thursday, 9.30 Eastern.
00:07:25.260
Now, listen to the responses. Thank you, Glenn, for being a voice of reason in the midst of chaos.
00:07:33.940
We always make our judgments based on the basis of incomplete evidence. It's like dark matter. We believe it,
00:07:40.040
but we can't see it. Then the next one, taking notes from Gorka, I see. I'm pretty sure I know how this ends.
00:07:48.100
Biden did it. Oddly, let's see, um, uh, something about the gif. Is there anyone else sick of people
00:07:55.880
taking the story, which is officially documented, swapping the names around to fit their political
00:08:00.760
agenda as if they can't even be bothered and acting like they're doing us some magical favor?
00:08:06.720
Uh, Glenn Beck is nothing short of the onion, but with better pay. Is, um, is it a coincidence that
00:08:13.460
Gorka and Pompeo are both in Italy right now? Um, will this be like the time that you were going
00:08:19.400
to replace the traditional 4th of July celebration with your wacky moon fest or your prediction that
00:08:24.920
all U S banks would be nationalized? Um, let's see. Then we have, uh, yeah, people really listen to
00:08:31.980
you. Yeah. Uh, yeah, Glenn, we're going to listen to your, your bat crap conspiracy theories that have
00:08:38.480
long been debunked searching for an audience. The tinfoil hats are on the edge of the
00:08:43.460
their seats. Um, was it a Saudi national? Uh, so if the team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden
00:08:52.100
was not around in 2014, what would be the Vegas odds of Hunter Biden getting a job in the Ukraine
00:08:57.520
B? That's a good one. Uh, dude, haven't you bankrupt your company yet? Or have you re sucked up
00:09:03.200
to the MAGA crowd to get their table scraps? Unbelievable. Uh, can't you just disappear in
00:09:10.980
obscurity quietly? Anyway, it goes on. That last one was mine, but yeah, thank you. I know. Um,
00:09:17.500
it goes on and on and on. Now, is anyone interested in seeing both sides of the story? We've gone back
00:09:28.380
and forth on whether we should include the media's spin. Uh, but I'm going to mention that we're not
00:09:35.500
going to mention the media spin and the story from, uh, the left, because that's what you're getting
00:09:41.860
everywhere. So take what they're saying and compare it with what we're saying.
00:09:49.480
Is this country even interested anymore in actual facts or do we all just run to support,
00:09:58.560
defend our team? The facts are, are very, very stunningly clear on what's going on. Now you might
00:10:11.400
say that Donald Trump, uh, did something that was uncomfortable or you didn't like, but it's not what
00:10:18.560
he was, he is being charged with. In fact, the evidence and evidence that is already gone to court
00:10:25.880
in foreign countries shows, this is a different story.
00:10:40.500
people who are just trying to do their job today
00:10:46.860
John Solomon is a good reporter. He is a fair reporter. He is a guy who has taken on both sides. He is a guy who has taken on investigative reporting against, against the odds in more than just politics.
00:11:08.620
He's a guy who has done great work and won many awards from the people who are now tearing him down only for political purposes.
00:11:20.140
I'm not sure what the truth is, but I am sure of this. You're not getting it.
00:11:34.580
If anybody is truly, if you truly care about the Republic, it's time for us to put this team player crap aside and call it as the chips fall down on the table.
00:11:58.240
I'm sorry, but this one falls into the category of things that I don't like.
00:12:05.700
This one falls into the category of things that make me feel good.
00:12:16.760
we're going to find out a lot of things that we don't like.
00:12:30.680
And we're going to have to do things that we don't like.
00:12:36.540
I'm mainly talking about those who are just blindly following the press.
00:12:43.600
There was a survey that was out that shows that 60 or 70 percent of the American people no longer trust the press.
00:12:57.160
how come so many people are being convinced by this same press?
00:13:10.180
It's why they salivate every time they have a new Trump story.
00:13:33.000
There's a lot of information that you need to know.
00:13:42.140
I want to cover today what Joe Biden did in China.
00:13:48.020
I want you to know the special is not about Joe Biden.
00:13:56.980
This story really is not about Joe Biden and Donald Trump and the next election.
00:14:03.820
This story is about the last election and the next election.
00:14:09.440
And not what Donald Trump or Joe Biden were doing.
00:14:23.120
Please tell your friends have watch parties if you can.
00:14:26.960
It will be on Facebook and it will be on YouTube.
00:14:30.560
We want to get the maximum number of people watching it.
00:14:34.520
But we have a special tonight on China and the Bidens, which is amazing.
00:14:42.860
It's the China and Biden involvement in this scandal tonight at 5 p.m.
00:14:51.140
Then we have a Ukraine special preview for the Blaze subscribers at 5 p.m.
00:14:57.060
And then we go nationwide with everyone on YouTube and Facebook.
00:15:06.240
You're going to need to tell your friends because I would imagine we're already going to be throttled down.
00:15:14.200
I would imagine that Facebook and Google is not really interested in helping us get this story out.
00:15:21.220
So you're going to need to find a friend because you're not going to see the notifications.
00:15:26.180
You're not going to you're not going to be alerted to all of this and they will make it more difficult for you to find it or your friends to find it who might think the same kind of thoughts.
00:15:41.920
It's on Facebook and on YouTube at 930 Eastern Time, 830 Central Ukraine.
00:16:01.360
We have talked a lot about the economy in the last couple of weeks and we haven't in the last few days because things are crazy right now in the news.
00:16:16.540
I don't know when it's going to come in, but it is going to come in.
00:16:19.980
If you're a homeowner, now is probably the time to consolidate your high interest debt into your mortgage for a much lower rate.
00:16:29.260
Now, this doesn't mean that you have to reset the years of your mortgage.
00:16:39.320
You can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars every single month, and that can help you ride out any coming storm.
00:16:44.860
If indeed there is one on the horizon, all you need to do is give American financing a call.
00:16:50.320
They're salary based mortgage consultants and they don't pressure you or have any upfront fees that you have to pay.
00:16:55.420
They just build custom loans to fit your needs, including options for as little as a thousand dollars down or even less than that.
00:17:03.000
Give American financing a call today, whether you're in the market to buy a home or you just need to discuss the option of refinancing your mortgage or credit card debt.
00:17:13.980
They have teams of experts that can point you in the right direction.
00:17:59.980
It has been a few days, and I feel as though America is already starting to go, eh.
00:18:08.700
One of the theories right now on the left and one of the exciting things on the left is that they've been polling the impeachment since, you know, before they got walked into office.
00:18:18.240
And we have audio today of them talking about impeachment before he even took office.
00:18:22.320
And the entire time they've polled this, it's been very unpopular with the American people.
00:18:31.020
Even some of the polling today still shows that.
00:18:36.680
And what they're thinking is, okay, here's a new scandal.
00:18:40.660
This Ukraine thing is getting people over the edge.
00:18:45.080
Finally, they've realized how terrible this person is, right?
00:18:52.820
As we add on to this, it's going to grow and grow and grow and grow.
00:18:59.660
I think potentially the opposite is true in that when people hear the beginnings of a scandal, they start – they go to the furthest reaches of where this could go, right?
00:19:15.100
Like they start predicting in their mind, oh, my gosh, this is – so far we've seen some stuff.
00:19:21.700
And we're going to be able to – this is going to be an impeachable offense.
00:19:27.000
It's kind of like when they have the unnamed Republican running against another candidate.
00:19:33.920
So when they hear impeachment and they hear obstruction of justice, impeachment, secret audio recordings, whistleblowers, they're immediately going, well, if that happened, I mean, yes, I'm for impeachment.
00:19:51.840
Because the American people as a whole are not, let's say, this audience.
00:19:58.040
This audience is sitting here looking at every detail every day that comes out.
00:20:05.940
So when they – when this stuff gets to them, it's been much more sorted out.
00:20:12.280
And, yes, they're getting the left-wing spin on it.
00:20:14.740
But eventually people start looking at this and saying, wait a minute.
00:20:19.840
As I'm looking at the details of this, it's not nearly as impressive as it was sold.
00:20:24.300
You know, they're promising the Bugatti and their delivery in the Volkswagen.
00:20:27.120
And that, I think, will wind up eroding at the support for impeachment, unless there are, you know, more serious things that are found.
00:20:40.980
But assuming it continues around this level, I think people eventually tire of it.
00:20:45.420
But the only thing I think – the worry here, if you're, you know, in the Trump administration or looking at this, is at some point, do the accusations, true or not, overwhelm you to the point where I'm just sick of dealing with this thing?
00:21:00.320
I'm sick of just constant scandal, and I'm sick of dealing with it.
00:21:05.480
But I don't think you have anyone – I mean, if you had somebody on the left, like, you know, he's way too close.
00:21:15.760
But like a Mark Sanford, who was running for the left and who was talking to common sense, just, you know, traditional, I love – Tulsi Gabbard without all of her crazy stuff.
00:21:30.920
You listen to Tulsi Gabbard on some of the – and she's, by the way, opposed to impeachment.
00:21:34.540
And you listen to her talk, and you're like, okay, this is someone –
00:21:42.240
And if you had – the Tulsi Gabbard was leading, I think Trump would be in trouble because Trump would – there was enough people in this country who were like, I'm tired of both sides.
00:21:55.000
I really like the president, but I'm tired of defending it.
00:22:00.040
You know, he shoots himself in the foot sometimes.
00:22:09.620
There's no – you're going to turn to Elizabeth Warren?
00:22:12.480
And, yeah, and that's what comes down – you know, when we get further down this road, people start making those one-on-one comparisons, and that's where these things – like, you know, you look at the early polling now has basically every Democrat beating Trump by – you know, handily in the election.
00:22:29.480
But it's ridiculous to even poll it at this point.
00:22:32.140
You have to wait until it gets down to, okay, they're one-on-one.
00:22:38.460
They don't make decisions when there's a field of 20 people still remaining.
00:22:47.880
There are actually two storylines going on right now, and the second one I think may be more important, and nobody's seeing it.
00:23:04.580
ExJare turns out there at the Texas State Fair until it ends, which is in October 21st, I think, 2023.
00:23:18.060
If you live anywhere in the area you're going to the Texas State Fair, here's what you need to do.
00:23:22.220
You need to go find – and I think it's in the Centennial Building.
00:23:24.580
You need to go find the ExJare, and you need to sit in it because I can talk and talk and talk and talk, but until you sit in it, the number one response – number one response, because I talked to him at the fair – the number one response from people who are sitting in it is, oh, my gosh.
00:23:48.360
When you sit in an ExJare, you're going to have that moment.
00:23:58.620
Nobody sends this chair back because it is what I say it is.
00:24:02.860
Ten different adjustments, one to fit your budget, and they even have financing for as low as $29 a month.
00:24:15.880
You also go to Glenn's YouTube and, of course, Facebook.
00:24:21.400
Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed is joining us now, and Pat Gray Unleashed is available wherever you find your podcast.
00:24:49.600
Also, on the Morning Blaze, where it precedes this program.
00:24:54.480
So we get you to work on time every day with traffic and weather together every eight minutes on the sevens.
00:25:01.640
So, Pat, why can't we just shoot people in the legs?
00:25:08.800
It would slow people down trying to break into our country illegally.
00:25:14.380
And if we can't shoot them, why don't we just build a moat and sick alligators on these people?
00:25:21.260
That's a great idea because people would be afraid to cross the moat that way, wouldn't they?
00:25:25.520
And if you can't do either of those, what if we were to electrify the wall and put human flesh-piercing spikes at the top of it?
00:25:35.360
Well, if it's electrified, why do you need the spikes?
00:25:39.460
How about if we put the whole thing on spikes, and then it's like a giant mousetrap.
00:25:44.000
If you start to come across and get to the wall, the whole wall just goes.
00:26:02.060
Big rock at the top starts rolling down at you.
00:26:07.660
I mean, really, you could pull lots of stuff from the Indiana Jones movies for the border if you wanted to do this.
00:26:13.820
Blow darts, you have the snakes all over the place.
00:26:19.940
The guy who is ripping out the heart of people underground, maybe that should be the head of border security.
00:26:28.880
So anyway, what we're talking about, in case you haven't read this story, and I do believe this to be true,
00:26:34.380
Donald Trump is talking about the different things that why can't, okay, you won't let us build a wall?
00:26:40.760
Okay, why not build a moat and put alligators and snakes in it?
00:26:44.320
All right, why don't we shoot him in the leg, and that'll be a real deterrent.
00:26:50.760
I don't know that that's legal, but it would be a deterrent.
00:26:54.700
Why can't the police, why can't, if you are breaking into a house and the police say stop and you don't stop, they don't have a right to shoot you in the leg.
00:27:07.580
Get on a plane to Washington, Glenn, and get in the administration right now.
00:27:10.780
What I'm saying is, I'm not saying this is a good idea.
00:27:13.900
I'm not saying this would be politically viable at all.
00:27:19.360
But according to the New York Times, this was a conversation had weeks ago with the president and his team.
00:27:25.280
Yeah, because the president's just tossing out ideas.
00:27:31.160
I think this is why, you know, they always say, it's like the guy at the end of the bar, you know, sitting in the stool at the end of the bar.
00:27:37.800
This is the kind of thing that a lot of people like about Donald Trump.
00:27:42.520
They're just like, he's like, all right, we can't build a wall.
00:27:56.520
And, you know, there could be the, he's just Overton windowing them.
00:28:14.560
That story about him with Tiffany's and getting the airspace.
00:28:27.300
So horrendous that everyone will say, okay, no, he's crazy enough.
00:28:41.320
I mean, is it, I mean, the story seems to make it appear that Donald Trump was actually
00:28:49.940
Now, my guess is he's pissed off at his people for not getting the wall done, which he believes
00:29:00.820
And so he's, you know, going to, he's turning it up to 11, right?
00:29:05.840
Whether he's actually saying, I don't think so.
00:29:11.920
U.S. employees are dumping buckets of snakes into a, no, I don't.
00:29:17.580
I don't think that he has thought that all the way through.
00:29:20.900
I think he's the kind of guy who is sitting in a meeting and everybody is telling him
00:29:27.020
why it can't be done, why it can't be done, why it can't be done.
00:29:31.800
And he's just like, okay, how about alligators?
00:29:33.700
Not thinking it through, just how about alligators and snakes?
00:29:43.540
And when somebody says, well, Mr. President, we can't do that.
00:29:48.300
Well, I mean, because remember, he doesn't think.
00:29:52.180
Okay, the snakes and the alligator is impractical.
00:30:05.220
So if you electrified it, they wouldn't climb it.
00:30:15.560
But he doesn't care about what people's perception is.
00:30:22.180
What about the global warming impacts of electricity on all the time over that long wall?
00:30:32.280
I mean, like, you know, we'd have a barbecue every night at the fence.
00:30:36.080
It's just somebody has to take a stick or some non-conductive thing to pull that animal off of the fence, and then we can eat it.
00:30:44.140
Think about how that would reduce the number of people coming into the country illegally, though.
00:30:49.740
That, I mean, an electrified fence would reduce illegal immigration.
00:30:55.540
And so I don't think he cares about what other people think or other countries think.
00:31:06.440
I mean, I tend to take—there's certain things that you just have to not even entertain.
00:31:12.920
And I feel like there's a certain level of reporting that comes out about these things.
00:31:18.000
Bottom line is Donald Trump, if he believes this stuff, will probably just blurt it out at the next rally.
00:31:22.740
So, like, when he comes out and admits it, I'll start to—you know, we could—I mean, at this point, really—
00:31:33.760
Just add in the atmosphere of there are no bad ideas.
00:31:40.880
No, you're—I tend to think of it as more like he's being—he's pissed off that they're not getting his wall done.
00:31:52.580
We've got to do something, and you're not doing it.
00:32:04.540
Is this just him spitballing like the guy at the end of the bar going, well, why not?
00:32:10.060
And not being married to it, not have been thinking it through for days, just sitting in the room going, why not?
00:32:24.260
I'm just saying I'm not saying—he's not—it's not a legitimate—like, he's not ready to draw up the bill that would get the spikes paid for.
00:32:34.540
No, no, no, no, but he is—but he was spitballing, and he wasn't doing it for shock value.
00:32:41.280
I think he was just going, okay, well, you're not going to do that.
00:32:47.240
And these are the ideas that seem like common sense because he doesn't care about what other people think.
00:32:54.720
Which is why he's in office in the first place.
00:32:59.280
And it is—honestly, it is the reason why he is still the president of the United States today.
00:33:11.300
In fact, I think he kind of likes it when he is the underdog.
00:33:15.120
You fight with him, he wants you to fight with him.
00:33:20.660
He'd get bored if the media wasn't continually attacking.
00:33:25.860
Oh, I think we said that at one point really early on in the campaign.
00:33:31.840
This guy would get bored with this because we thought that he would, you know, do the job that a president normally does.
00:33:58.940
Was this him trying to Overton Window just go crazy so everybody in the room thinks he's crazy?
00:34:05.380
And they're like, okay, we better build the wall because he's going to put alligators down.
00:34:10.620
Or do you think he's just like so tired and fed up and just like, well, what can we do?
00:34:35.860
He is playing a game with the people in the room.
00:34:39.980
Or is he just sitting in a room full of people that he's just—he's spitballing and it's just an idea factory?
00:34:50.500
But he thinks legitimately our policy might be alligators and snakes in a moat.
00:34:53.860
If you won't build a row—if you won't build a wall—
00:35:02.760
Are you thinking he might—there might be like we just—
00:35:07.480
But he was thinking it could be a legitimate U.S. policy.
00:35:09.900
Yeah, well, guys, okay, so why not have alligators in a moat?
00:35:17.340
I mean, just—it's a quick, momentary thought.
00:35:21.380
He just blurts out whatever he's thinking at the time.
00:35:25.080
We've got to have Bill O'Reilly on this on Friday, too.
00:35:27.360
Because he just wrote that book about Trump—what is it called again?
00:35:34.900
I would—I wanted his vote on this freak jury.
00:35:37.140
Because he always thinks about these things and how Trump thinks, and I—I don't know.
00:35:41.240
I think—I don't think it's—I'm kind of default is the media's just lying about it.
00:35:54.000
Nick DiPaolo's going to be on with us in a few minutes.
00:35:55.920
All right, we're going to take your phone call, 888-727-BECK.
00:35:59.480
We're going to do that right after we take a quick break to tell you about our sponsor.
00:36:07.160
Joan is a woman who fell in love with dance at the age of three.
00:36:12.300
And her younger years were filled with ballet studios and soaring music of Tchaikovsky.
00:36:18.000
And she probably—God bless her parents—they probably bought way too many overpriced outfits for her.
00:36:29.620
And when it came time for her to retire, she turned around and began teaching.
00:36:41.060
She found herself paying for, you know, her ballet years with pain all the time.
00:36:52.500
Every day now, Joan is dancing with her students.

00:37:55.920
Is the press making this story up about the president in a meeting saying, why don't we electrify the fence?
00:38:05.400
Why don't we have alligators and snakes in a moat?
00:38:10.180
I think he absolutely said these things, and I think he was just spitballing off the top of his head, not engaging, just looking at a room of experts and saying, why not?
00:38:29.820
And then, was he spitballing, or is he Overton window or screwing with the press or the room?
00:38:48.880
But like part B in the question, I think it was more trolling, not even the media, just the bureaucrats and the career politicians that are around him in the room that are go-to answer for everything is, no, we can't do that.
00:39:03.580
So after giving them logical and reasonable answers and hearing no, no, no repeatedly or reasons things can't work, just started throwing out just random cartoonish ideas just to troll and watch them take it seriously, you know?
00:39:27.320
But I know people who, you know, and I don't prescribe to this kind of thought, but who have actually said, you know, why don't we, you cap a couple of them and the rest of them will get the idea type of mentality.
00:40:18.520
I think it could be a combination of all three.
00:40:20.860
As much as the media hates Mr. Trump, why wouldn't they put something out like this?
00:40:28.120
And then secondly, I think the other two, I agree with your other callers.
00:40:33.600
You know, a simple thing would just be put razor wire across the top of the whole thing.
00:40:40.140
I'm pretty sure it would work for a wall there that's 30 feet tall.
00:40:46.000
This is the juror that says, I think we're both innocent and guilty is the way I would rule on that.
00:41:01.300
I'm saying that it could be any of those things.
00:41:06.480
He's got to be a man that is the most frustrated person on the planet.
00:41:12.980
He had all kinds of senators and representatives buy into it.
00:41:17.260
Now, what is it, 60-some-odd percent or 70-some-odd percent of the country thinks we should have a wall?
00:41:22.700
And yet the people that hold the purse strings won't do it.
00:41:34.360
He did, but what he did was he probably looked over at his colleagues and, you know, he just turns his head just a slight bit and poochies out his lips just a little bit.
00:41:45.660
Let everybody know these guys are really stupid.
00:42:14.780
I thought they nixed library fees at most places now, knowing that you...
00:42:18.920
Well, I don't know how many people have, you know, said, sorry, kids, I've got nothing else to pass on to you because Little House on the Prairie I checked out when I was in sixth grade and...
00:42:52.600
Yeah, you don't need high-speed internet to read a book.
00:43:03.120
Why on earth is there a public library anymore?
00:43:12.140
Only because I believe we're headed for a Tower of Babel kind of moment where all of our
00:43:21.020
Glenn Beck can prove a private library all he wants.
00:43:22.900
There's plenty of private libraries all around America.
00:43:25.060
And everyone's got access to every book that's ever been written online.
00:43:30.700
I mean, the public library at this point is ridiculous.
00:44:01.620
Stu has just come out with his anti-library rant.
00:44:05.560
He thinks a whole library, public libraries should be abolished.
00:44:09.800
And he was very worried that, you know, this rant was going to upset me because I'm a big
00:44:22.920
We have the president of the United States suggesting that we dig a moat on our southern border.
00:44:34.040
I think he did say it, whether he was saying it in jest or because that's just this guy.
00:44:39.920
I don't know, but I'm sure Nick DiPaolo has something to say about it.
00:44:44.100
We'll check in with Nick here in just a second.
00:44:46.180

If you're easily offended, he is not the comedian for you.
00:46:34.520
It's his special, available to watch for free at NickDip.com.
00:46:44.420
He is really, truly one of the icons in comedy.
00:46:49.400
But I don't know how he survives because he is so very politically incorrect.
00:47:03.500
Donald Trump, it's being reported today that Donald Trump said,
00:47:08.760
Well, why don't we just build a fence and electrify it?
00:47:11.740
And they said, Mr. President, we can't do that.
00:47:13.340
Well, why don't we just put big spikes on the top of the wall that will impale them?
00:47:19.020
Well, why don't we just shoot them in the leg if they start to come across?
00:47:23.960
Okay, then, why don't we just dig a moat and put snakes and alligators in it?
00:47:41.520
I said, how can you have a discussion about an invasion into your country
00:47:47.220
To build a wall is stupid when we have flamethrowers, machine guns, tanks.
00:48:00.480
Not ones like World War I that they were outlawed after that, but tiny ones that'll just take a foot off or something.
00:48:08.840
But then, you know, you're going to have to watch a guy cutting your lawn using a leaf blow over the limp.
00:48:21.100
They said, well, the press said, well, the wall is medieval.
00:48:32.680
But that's not going to work because then the hubcaps are going to be missing on the other side.
00:48:48.340
But I don't know how you make it in today's world.
00:48:53.360
If that's mid to medieval, then come up with something else.
00:48:56.940
A, you know, a super soaker filled with cat urine.
00:49:03.240
And if you're going to build the wall, get original with it.
00:49:08.580
Make it look like the green monster at Fenway Park.
00:49:15.620
You put all the militia up there with their rifles.
00:49:18.620
Every time it illegal gets taken down, there's a guy on the board that has to put a one up manually.
00:49:27.180
Trump just put up a crooked number on the bottom of the knife.
00:49:30.600
So, you know, you, you know, you remind me of, I mean, a Donald Trump green.
00:49:34.780
No, you know, you remind me of the new president of Ukraine.
00:49:46.820
He didn't, he didn't push forward any policies.
00:49:51.660
He was just saying things like what you're saying now.
00:49:57.100
I think this government is so corrupt and such a joke.
00:50:17.880
And then I'll strangle him when I get in a room.
00:50:27.920
You know, I think the top of the ticket might love you.
00:50:32.280
I don't see Mike Pence in, you know, in your show.
00:50:38.540
Could you please stop smoking that fake cigarette?
00:51:00.300
I'll get soaked and then you'll have a good laugh.
00:51:02.760
My manager's giving me crap with these headphones.
00:51:09.980
He looks like Kenny Rogers that gets stung by bees.
00:51:21.640
I went to Salt Lake City, one of your favorite places.
00:51:30.980
I actually, I walked around after the show downtown looking for cigarette butts.
00:51:38.000
I actually spit and I took a hanky out and wiped it off the sidewalk.
00:51:41.960
It was like being in my mother's living room after she got a new rug and new furniture.
00:51:47.500
It is a little like a place where they would put the plastic covers over the park benches.
00:51:52.260
I, I, it was, and, and the crowds were very white, whiter than, uh, you know, the Osmond's
00:52:00.340
I, uh, it was like being in a, it was like being in a, a Bush beer commercial with those
00:52:21.260
I get all my mistresses in Salt Lake City, but, uh, I, uh, I, I love it there.
00:52:27.500
And you know, the problem is it's becoming so high tech and all the people from California
00:52:32.160
are moving in and just like Texas, they're going to wreck it.
00:52:45.080
Um, let me take a quick break because I want to talk to you about, uh, the, the climate
00:52:50.760
change craziness that is going on and how we're all not supposed to eat meat.
00:52:56.520
And yet there's a new study out that says, Hey, by the way, everything we said about meat
00:53:11.280
X chair, uh, is just this awesome chair that they, they actually are at the state fair
00:53:17.360
here in Texas, which you've never been to the state fair in Texas.
00:53:20.320
You have not been to a state fair except I, I, you know, the one year I missed it was
00:53:38.360
And he's been there since, I don't know, the forties or whatever.
00:53:41.600
Well, he caught on fire and he, he, the kids were running screen, big Texas on fire.
00:53:48.020
Anyway, uh, if you've never been, you have to, you have to go.
00:53:56.300
And I was just talking to them yesterday and they said the number one response that everybody,
00:54:00.200
when they sit in the chair, they're like, oh my gosh, I've never said anything like this.
00:54:07.320
So if you're anywhere where you can go sit in an X chair, go do that.
00:54:10.780
Um, but the, the X chair is completely different.
00:54:16.100
It is, you know, it's the, it is, you know, what is the Herman Miller chairs?
00:54:22.500
Uh, they're the ones who did the mesh chair and they're fine, but this has taken it to a
00:54:27.620
new level, uh, from those Herman Miller chairs.
00:54:30.720
And I think the Herman Miller chairs are overpriced, but that's a different thing.
00:54:34.320
Uh, X chair right now, you can get it for a hundred dollars off.
00:54:45.020
Go to xchairbeck.com right now and use the promo code Beck.
00:54:48.740
You're going to receive a free set of the new X wheels with your chair.
00:54:54.180
Now with financing, you can get it as low as $29 a month at xchairbeck.com.
00:55:17.620
So I can't keep up with what food is good for you.
00:55:21.560
Um, all these people have been saying that meat, that humans shouldn't be eating meat.
00:55:37.080
So I guess you didn't do cocaine in the eighties.
00:55:43.200
Um, but, uh, you know, we're animals, we're animals.
00:55:48.620
And to say that you shouldn't be eating meat now, maybe not as much meat or whatever, but
00:55:55.780
What are your thoughts on the new, on the new put meat out of business as it's bad for you
00:56:01.980
and bad for the environment versus no, not really.
00:56:07.140
They've, uh, we've had conflicting news on food and what's good, what's bad.
00:56:11.320
If we're a fat country, if we're, uh, I I'm getting mixed signals.
00:56:15.560
I saw a Bloomberg on the internet a few months ago going for the first time in the history
00:56:20.860
of this planet, more people are dying from obesity than starvation.
00:56:28.060
Would you rather die because you ate too many quarter pounders or because you were a quarter
00:56:33.000
quarter pounder, you know, right here's my, if that's true, more people are dying from
00:56:39.680
Then we're going to have to change those commercials you see late at night on TV with
00:56:43.360
the little kid in the desert eating the bowl of mushroom flies all over there.
00:56:46.300
We're going to have to replace him with a 400 pound green Bay Packers fan in his recliner
00:56:50.300
with chicken wings on his lap, barbecue sauce in his hair.
00:56:54.180
And if just $5 a month, we'll help him not eat for just $5 a month.
00:57:02.240
And for another 20 cents, a head of cabbage, he hasn't seen roughage since the Hoover administration.
00:57:08.080
He's got whipped cream on the bridge of his nose.
00:57:16.640
One in three Americans goes to bed hungry every night.
00:57:20.960
Stop off at the fridge on the way to the bedroom, stupid.
00:57:23.300
I mean, one in five Americans doesn't know where the next meal is coming from.
00:57:30.720
Could be Dining Dash, could be Wendy's, could be Tony Romo's.
00:57:44.560
I'm down to, you know what I had last night at dinner?
00:57:49.080
I don't think Skittles should be in there either.
00:57:53.700
Well, I'll tell that to Marshawn Lynch, the running back, the former running back.
00:57:56.660
Have you tried this, what is it, the no meat, the, what is that thing called, the Impossible Burger?
00:58:12.700
Okay, so in, in, did you try it at a restaurant or did you try it at Burger King?
00:58:30.980
And it tastes like the same waffle that it always did.
00:58:35.220
Are you really going to Burger King because you want to eat healthy?
00:58:44.240
Who wants a burger that's made out of, you know, come on.
00:58:47.380
You know, it's, it's, the, the, the Burger King burger is bad, but where did we have them
00:58:53.680
Hopdoddy, local place here that we've had them.
00:58:57.480
And my feeling on meat is if you can make it taste and, and really taste and have the
00:59:05.900
I don't care if it's made out of Skittles or grass or beef.
00:59:27.380
Did you see that the Swedish, the Church of Sweden, I think it is.
00:59:35.420
Came out and said that the girl, Greta Thunberg or whatever her name was.
00:59:44.520
She has been, the, the Church of Sweden has just come out and said that she is the, the
01:00:00.820
That might be true because every time I see her on TV, I go, Jesus Christ.
01:00:22.160
Her parents took her to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate her 10th birthday.
01:00:25.180
Five minutes after they, they left the, the clown shot himself in the mouth.
01:00:45.840
Most girls, you know, most young kids are losing their innocence to like seeing pornography on the internet.
01:00:51.580
She lost her innocence to, to what, you know, studying satellite maps on the weather channel.
01:00:56.420
She's a, she sees a funnel cloud and she's, you know, on the Oxycontin five minutes later.
01:01:03.380
But the whole, isn't the whole society unhealthy when you have, I mean, you have Gavin Newsom saying that he was humiliated by the president on climate change.
01:01:15.840
What, what, this guy, he, he, can imagine the gall on him saying that he runs that state that is a laughing stock.
01:01:22.980
There's people camping out all over the sidewalks and stuff.
01:01:25.580
Yeah, he, he excoriated the United States and, and, and United States is only one of three countries who actually grew their economy last year and reduced carbon emissions.
01:01:38.440
Have you ever seen people going to work in China on the news?
01:01:41.260
You don't see that many surgical masks watching a mash marathon on TBS, you know, and they had to cancel Little League in China this summer.
01:01:52.300
They were, they were sticking in that cream cheese they call oxygen.
01:01:55.720
And, you know, you see like squirrels with oxygen tanks.
01:02:00.200
And he's yelling at the United States and he doesn't even, he doesn't even, you know, 60, I think it's 50% of Chinese people smoke.
01:02:07.280
And I figured out why, Glenn, they need a filter in their mouth.
01:02:13.020
Can you look up the, uh, the deal, the banks just signed on, the global banks just signed on to some climate, climate treaty to where they're not going to, uh, borrow money or, or lend money to people who are, who are not in line with the UN, uh, climate treaties.
01:02:33.500
India has not only over a billion people, a billion cows and our cow flatulence apparently is helping cause, right?
01:02:41.140
They say it's the number, they say it's the number one cause of, of climate, uh, uh, climate gas.
01:02:50.120
So tell, tell president Modi to throw some maylocks in those oats.
01:02:54.080
I mean, after these cows eat, you ever hear them about an hour later, it sounds like a Louis Armstrong solo for 30 minutes.
01:03:00.220
You know, I, when's the last time you were around cows?
01:03:06.960
It's a beautiful, really, you know, Gavin Newsom, I noticed, I noticed Gavin, he's yelling at, you know, I noticed India doesn't have to have an app.
01:03:16.100
They, they have less dung in their cow fields than Gavin Newsom does in a sidewalks in California.
01:03:22.380
I don't think New Delhi has a crap app to tell you how to get around.
01:03:25.700
Let me, uh, let me change the subject here before we run out of time.
01:03:30.060
Idaho, Idaho must pay your, by the way, you're listening to Nick to Paula.
01:03:37.160
Uh, he, uh, he has a show there and, but what he really has is fantastic that you should watch.
01:03:45.320
No, even if you're, even if it takes a lot for you to be offended, you still might be offended.
01:03:51.660
Um, I'm getting hate mail from serial killers about, uh, Nick dip.com.
01:04:03.180
Idaho has to now pay for the inmate who wants to switch gender.
01:04:12.300
According to the night circuit court, your thoughts.
01:04:15.480
There's a few States, I guess, where your, your taxpayer money is going to go for people transitioning.
01:04:21.260
Then I said, okay, if you're going to do that, I have a say in how you look when you transition.
01:04:29.260
If, if, if I have skin in the game, I'm going to say where that skin goes and what it looks like.
01:04:33.140
If I'm buying a pizza, I get to pick the toppings.
01:04:36.940
So I'm going to start with, you know, a big chest, a, a heart shaped bottom, high cheekbones, pouty lips.
01:04:42.040
As far as the actual genitalia, as Obama said, that's above my pay grade.
01:04:55.640
You, you, if you like to laugh and it is, and you are tired of hearing people edit themselves, he doesn't.

USCCA knows that when it comes to protecting yourself and your family, who's the person you trust most?
01:05:34.500
Because you have a right to defend yourself and a responsibility to defend those who are in your care.
01:05:39.340
That means you're not waiting around for somebody else to show up.
01:05:42.260
It means arming yourself, as is your constitutional right, but also being educated and knowing about the handgun or the rifle that you have that you're going to use.
01:05:53.540
You have to know how to use them, how to deal with everything else that surrounds them.
01:05:57.080
Right now, the USCCA is giving you seven free chances to win $1,000 so you can experience the industry-leading education and training that you already talked about.
01:06:06.940
They offer classes like defensive shooting fundamentals, concealed carry and home defense fundamentals, and countering the mass shooter threat.
01:06:21.280
All you have to do is text the word GLENN to 87222.
01:06:27.400
You have seven chances of winning $1,000 right now.
01:06:36.880
If you want to cut through all of the craziness going on and the complications around this Ukraine scandal,
01:06:40.980
it's all going to be explained tomorrow night on The Big Special.
01:06:47.280
Tonight on The Blaze TV at 5 o'clock on my program, I'm going to be talking about Hunter Biden's business deals in China.
01:06:59.560
This is much worse than anything in Ukraine that Joe Biden did.
01:07:05.980
Last night, we did the Ukrainian update and told you exactly what Joe Biden was doing in Ukraine.
01:07:16.680
And then tomorrow, we get ready for our special, which airs everywhere at 930 Eastern tomorrow night.
01:07:33.600
And I want you to understand that there's two levels of this.
01:07:38.680
There's the level of let's destroy Donald Trump by making this scandal into something.
01:07:47.900
The real true goal is misdirection and discrediting anyone who says anything about Ukraine and not even Joe Biden.
01:07:58.080
I really, truly believe the Democrats would throw Joe Biden to the wolves at this point rather than have any of this stuff exposed in Ukraine.
01:08:07.220
People have gone to jail in Ukraine for trying to influence the American election.
01:08:15.300
And we'll explain who those people are, what they do, and show you the evidence.
01:08:21.720
That's just one small piece of this special tomorrow night.
01:08:25.380
The second part of the goal, I think, of the Democrats on this is to discredit and call anyone a conspiracy theorist on anything in Ukraine.
01:08:45.840
They're contradicting their own work and their own words in the press.
01:08:51.640
And they're saying this has already been vetted.
01:09:06.100
But what China did, it's not just the massive amounts of money changing hands.
01:09:14.660
But Hunter Biden was profiting from companies actively trying to steal from and gain a competitive advantage over the U.S.
01:09:25.020
Now, I told you that Joe Biden, right after he was sworn in, Hunter Biden decided to go into international private equity, something that he had zero, zero experience in.
01:09:38.700
He went into this along with John Kerry's stepson, Christopher Hines, and Kerry's former campaign finance manager, Devon Archer.
01:09:49.180
Together, they started this company called Rosemont Seneca Partners.
01:09:52.600
Now, at the same time that Joe Biden met with President Hu in Washington, the Chinese president, as part of a nuclear security summit, Hunter Biden was in China with his two Rosemont Seneca partners, meeting with executives from the biggest banks in China and its sovereign wealth and social security funds.
01:10:14.780
While that's a neat little coincidence, they have no experience, none.
01:10:22.000
And they're meeting with the biggest banks and the sovereign and social security funds directors.
01:10:28.780
Joe Biden met with Chinese officials a year later at the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington.
01:10:37.420
Then two weeks later, Hunter Biden and his partners meet in Taiwan with the same Chinese financial giants they met with in China the year before, plus some new ones.
01:10:47.600
Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca, partnered with another firm called the Thornton Group.
01:10:52.820
Now, the Thornton Group's Asia website reported on the meeting and posted the photos online.
01:10:59.560
They just didn't post it on any of the English language versions of their site.
01:11:03.960
So most people have never seen the photos that we'll show you tonight.
01:11:07.760
Rosemont Seneca was less than two years old at that point.
01:11:11.500
So how did they get this kind of access to the biggest financial names and firms in China?
01:11:19.700
December 2013, Joe Biden traveled to China on an extended official trip with him on board Air Force Two was Hunter Biden.
01:11:28.880
They were greeted by a red carpet delegation and children bringing flowers.
01:11:33.800
While President Biden was meeting with President Xi for over five hours, covering, quote, every single topic in the U.S.-China relationship.
01:11:42.760
While Joe did his thing, Hunter was mostly out of sight and nobody reported on where he was.
01:11:49.700
But he was busy signing a deal between Rosemont Seneca and the Bank of China just 10 days after the Biden's trip.
01:11:57.760
Pretty much, you know, gives it away that maybe there was some things going on together.
01:12:03.240
The most powerful institution in China, which is controlled by the government of China,
01:12:11.220
go into a joint venture with this tiny little company called Rosemont Seneca.
01:12:24.360
It was funding a business that it co-owned with the son of the U.S. vice president and the son of the U.S. secretary of state.
01:12:33.000
And since the Bank of China is government owned, it means that business is completely intertwined with communist government's goals.
01:12:44.480
How did they get this deal that even Goldman Sachs couldn't get?
01:12:51.440
They got a deal that gave them $1.5 billion in Chinese government money.
01:13:01.040
Now, so, you know, no other company had such an arrangement with China.
01:13:10.280
Now, the first thing they did was they invested in a the Chinese general nuclear power corporation.
01:13:19.500
This is a Chinese government owned nuclear power company that sold off a stake of the company to outside investors.
01:13:26.940
The problem was, is that this company was under investigation in the U.S. for stealing nuclear secrets.
01:13:37.300
But they bought it anyway with Joe Biden's son knowing this.
01:13:43.800
At the time, we had paid informants in the U.S. that were smuggling secrets out to China for this group.
01:13:57.400
So while the FBI probe was going on, the sons of vice president and secretary of state owned a stake in this company that was being investigated.
01:14:07.140
And even after the arrests were made, Rosemond Seneca didn't alter its relationship.
01:14:11.720
So, in other words, they were fine just weather the storm.
01:14:18.360
This company was convicted of stealing secrets against the U.S.
01:14:24.720
Next, they bought a gigantic military contractor in China that makes fighter planes, bombers and drones.
01:14:35.060
And this company bought was was purchased 49 percent of this company.
01:14:43.960
Then they went to the United States and said, let's buy an American company as well.
01:14:54.020
This is a manufacturer here in the United States that makes very specific things, an anti-vibration technology.
01:15:01.360
And this is stuff that is known by the State Department as dual use, which means the technology can also have a military application.
01:15:10.080
Because of that, you have to have any sale approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment.
01:15:22.540
Well, according to according to one journalist, the U.S. intelligence community has long recognized the Chinese government is committing committed to acquiring Western machine tool technology, especially the kind of technology where it's difficult to distinguish between civilian and military use of the equipment.
01:15:47.760
They formed this partnership and they bought this company.
01:15:52.640
Now this U.S. technology is in their stealth bomber in China.
01:16:04.120
This is not about anything other than the American people should know this story.
01:16:11.400
Even if there's no criminal activity here, this is wrong.
01:16:16.480
And do you really believe that if Don Jr. was cutting these kinds of deals, that the media wouldn't be all over it?
01:16:30.600
Because I personally think the one in China definitely is.
01:16:50.940
But the bigger goal is to call anybody who talks about this stuff a conspiracy theorist.
01:17:01.060
And on tomorrow's program, we will lay out not what Joe Biden was doing in Ukraine,
01:17:07.820
but what the Democrats have been doing in Ukraine.
01:17:11.440
This one they care about deeply because this exposes them and it exposes the Russian collusion investigation as a setup.
01:17:27.140
You can believe it or not, but what you cannot dismiss are the facts of the case.
01:17:37.320
Tomorrow, I'm not going to give you, I'm not going to give you a bunch of stuff that we may know.
01:17:43.300
We're going to give you the things that we do know.
01:17:46.240
Those facts, we will give to you so you can look them up on your own.
01:17:53.960
Because no one in the media is going to do this.
01:18:04.300
Your Blaze subscription helps us pay for things like this because we're giving this special away for free.
01:18:14.100
Just join the Blaze by going to blazetv.com slash Glenn.
01:18:20.820
I'm laying this whole thing out about China out on the chalkboard tonight.
01:18:24.760
Then tomorrow, we're doing a special Blaze-only viewers kind of behind the scenes.
01:18:31.240
So we're going to get into a little bit of it before the special, which will go coast-to-coast on all platforms Thursday.
01:18:42.160
Ukraine, the scandal explained, the Democrats Russia.
01:18:45.580
You'll be able to find that on Facebook and on our YouTube page.
01:19:01.040
One quick kind of breaking campaign update here, Glenn.
01:19:06.000
Bernie Sanders last night, apparently after the campaign event, had some chest discomfort,
01:19:11.360
had a medical evaluation, and had blockage in one artery, had two stents inserted,
01:19:18.360
and they are canceling events and appearances until further notice.
01:19:23.700
I mean, it's possible they're kind of downplaying and saying,
01:19:26.000
ah, he's going to be resting up for a few days, but we don't know further than that.
01:19:29.620
But that's, I mean, basically overnight had, you know, heart surgery, right?
01:19:34.840
I mean, that's a pretty significant development in the campaign.
01:19:39.360
And I want to talk about the campaign finances and who's raising funds and the latest on Elizabeth Warren
01:19:49.820
It was a woman who fell in love with ballet when she was three.
01:20:00.600
If you are a ballet dancer, you are an athlete.
01:20:03.240
And so she has spent her whole youth in a ballet studio and working and working and working.
01:20:09.520
Well, when the time came for her to retire from the stage, she turned right around and
01:20:14.280
she began teaching that love that she had to the new generation of little girls who just
01:20:22.180
Well, dancing, anybody who is in ballet, even my daughter who is still young, is like, ow,
01:20:28.300
oh, it comes with a price and she found herself paying every day in the form of constant pain
01:20:37.760
When Joan started taking it within a few weeks, the pain was all gone.
01:20:41.440
Now she dances with her students again and she's never been happier.
01:20:51.840
It's a natural way to ease your pain and get your life back.
01:21:34.400
I mean, can you believe the Justice Department?
01:21:39.880
He's saying crazy things, crazy things about Bill Barr and the Republicans.
01:21:48.120
I'm quoting a reality that the Republicans will cheat in the 2020 elections by trying to
01:21:55.040
move polling places and a whole variety of things.
01:22:04.560
They're all saying that Stacey Abrams won the governor.
01:22:08.320
You know, she was the real winner of the governor in Georgia.
01:22:11.960
Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder are now saying this is an illegitimate election.
01:22:19.060
Do you remember in 2016 when they came out and they kept saying over and over again that
01:22:23.780
Donald Trump, if he lost, was going to say this wasn't legitimate?
01:22:28.640
This is a fundamental challenge to our democracy over and over and over again.
01:22:36.060
And now, because Hillary Clinton lost and she's doing all the same things she predicted
01:22:43.120
That's an amazing, it's an amazing realization when you, when you, I mean, you realize that
01:22:47.820
these things that they say in the moment mean nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
01:22:55.740
When they come out and they say, oh, well, you know what, this, this rhetoric is going
01:23:00.640
And then when one of Bernie's people go, goes out and does that, well, that just doesn't,
01:23:07.060
Now, I don't think it should apply to either side as we made the case for, you know, when
01:23:11.840
people cite ridiculous right-wing theories and left-wing theories.
01:23:19.220
People are responsible for their own freaking actions.
01:23:24.760
Not someone you heard on the radio, not someone's book you read.
01:23:28.600
None of that is applicable, but it, it, they will do, they will argue that it's absolutely
01:23:35.280
Donald Trump's fault when they think they can apply it to Donald Trump.
01:23:37.500
And if it applies to one of their people, they just absolutely abandoned the argument
01:23:42.760
Well, nobody seems to care because I don't think anybody's listening to it anymore.
01:23:47.100
Everybody is just like, I, I don't care what they say.
01:24:06.280
Really an important thing that Steven was talking about.
01:24:21.180
Um, we're very concerned about being throttled tomorrow.
01:24:26.720
And we really would like your, your help, um, in doing that.
01:24:33.260
Let me tell you about our sponsor, the Cephauer.
01:24:36.340
This is a company that is, has changed the lives for millions of Americans.
01:24:41.440
They're the, the amount of pain that they have had has dramatically changed and changed
01:24:48.740
And they couldn't do the things that they loved, but now they can.
01:24:53.500
Now they can because they're taking relief factor.
01:24:55.920
70% of the people who try relief factor, 100% drug free created by doctors.
01:25:12.980
Now you can try their three week quick start for only 1995.
01:25:15.680
So if you're in pain, you don't have anything to lose.
01:25:19.820
You want a drug free and natural way to ease your pain, get your life back.
01:25:29.580
Bernie Sanders had heart surgery last night, emergency heart surgery.
01:25:36.440
He's alive, but what is this going to mean for the campaign?
01:25:39.740
And Elizabeth Warren will go into that when we come back.
01:26:02.680
So some big news breaking today, and that is Bernie Sanders.
01:26:07.860
Bernie Sanders had blocked arteries and had to have surgery last night.
01:26:15.380
It looks like he is out off of the campaign trail.
01:26:21.660
They say until further notice, they're canceling all events for Bernie Sanders.
01:26:31.620
Is anybody going to vote for a 78-year-old guy who was just in for heart surgery?
01:26:43.260
So I'm excited to tell you about X Chair because I sit in an X Chair every day, and I absolutely love it.
01:26:52.660
This is the most comfortable chair that you can get for your home or your home office or your office away from home.
01:27:01.280
When you sit in an X Chair, it just feels different.
01:27:05.480
And Stu knows because there are 10 different adjustments on this chair.
01:27:22.940
And he sits in it, and one day I'm moving something around in my chair, and he looks at me and says,
01:27:30.580
Like, I'm adjusting the variable lumbar support.
01:27:38.240
It's comfortable just when you sit in it the first time.
01:27:41.280
Then when you customize it to you, it's fantastic.
01:27:54.220
They have a chair for all budgets and all sizes.
01:28:03.160
Use the promo code BECK, and you'll receive a free set of the new X wheels with your chair.
01:28:10.920
So it is fascinating to me to look at the fundraising dollars and to look at some of the polls and how Elizabeth Warren is doing really well.
01:28:35.060
And if you look at those polls and then you see that Bernie Sanders had a blockage last night, had to have emergency surgery in the middle of the night.
01:28:47.440
But he is now going to be laid up for we don't know how long.
01:28:52.960
But I think this is going to dramatically impact his campaign and could take a lot of his people away to go to Elizabeth Warren.
01:29:01.560
And especially if he endorses, if he drops out and endorses Elizabeth Warren, she is the front runner for sure.
01:29:08.220
We have Jeff Fisher, who is all about blockages.
01:29:37.340
It is one of those things where when you first hear it, you go, there is no God.
01:29:54.580
So last night, Bernie Sanders is at a campaign event.
01:30:01.160
And then the campaign kind of just blurts out this statement this morning.
01:30:09.920
We're canceling all events for the foreseeable future.
01:30:19.720
It's not like he'll be back in a couple of weeks.
01:30:21.100
The only thing they threw in there to try to downplay was he'll be resting for the next few days.
01:30:25.680
But here, I want to get your opinion on this, Jeffy.
01:30:29.440
Like, I have a friend who had a scheduled heart surgery that recently happened.
01:30:37.900
He knew how long he was supposed to be out, which was a couple of weeks.
01:30:43.120
And it was really to try to fix a problem that was not like a blockage.
01:30:48.880
It was something that could develop into problems.
01:30:55.200
Your kind of heart surgery is on the other end of this, which is like you're having chest pain.
01:31:16.180
So what he had when he had chest pains, he most likely had a heart attack?
01:31:26.860
That's what we used to just say was a heart attack.
01:31:28.940
You were blocked, and then your heart would stop eventually, and you'd just die.
01:31:33.300
So for a campaign, first of all, obviously, we all hope Bernie's okay.
01:31:43.720
if the scheduled minor heart surgery is a couple weeks,
01:31:48.260
you were out for, I mean, before you were like, not just up and out of bed,
01:31:52.120
but like functional, I'm back on a campaign trail level schedule.
01:32:01.740
I mean, you're looking at up and running and working and being productive.
01:32:10.540
Well, that's if you're in top-notch shape, which, you know, obviously I am.
01:32:20.320
But, you know, people like, I mean, for instance, Mick Jagger, 75 years old,
01:32:25.240
had the stints put in, and he was, you know, he was out for, what, a couple of months
01:32:29.160
and working out with a heavy workout schedule to get back on doing what, on tour,
01:32:38.360
And you, and, you know, we joke that you're 147 years old,
01:32:41.960
but you're considerably younger than Bernie Sanders.
01:32:47.560
Now he's got a debate in two weeks, which you have to think right off the bat,
01:33:02.840
You're trying to get, you're trying to be alert.
01:33:06.600
Because you would think that you would be better if they took, you know,
01:33:10.240
when you take an engine and you blow all the carbon out and you clean an engine all up,
01:33:19.820
Well, your body, I mean, your body is running well, but your body has just taken a beating, right?
01:33:24.160
I mean, it's taken a big beating of saying you almost died.
01:33:29.380
They take a, you know, they're, they, the way they get to your heart now is through your groin area
01:33:35.720
I don't know if you know that, but that doesn't feel well.
01:33:46.020
They're like, no, we're going through the groin.
01:33:49.960
I mean, so obviously there's a major, and this is a major development.
01:33:57.220
First of all, are you going to vote for a guy who's already having the issues with age at 78
01:34:11.640
There are reports that he has now canceled all spending on ads in Iowa.
01:34:15.940
Does this, I mean, I bet he, I'd be hard pressed to believe that he makes the debate.
01:34:25.500
Because if he does make the debate and he, and he looks ill at all, it will completely kill it.
01:34:32.640
But on the other hand, if he makes the debate and looks good, then that might, that might
01:34:36.280
save him, might push back some of those concerns.
01:34:38.440
But I mean, that's, that's, you're risking a lot there.
01:34:40.440
You should ask you what all of our wives and your wife has been trying to kill you for years,
01:34:47.880
If we said, I've got a debate in two weeks, what would all of our wives say?
01:34:55.020
No, I mean, you, can he miss a debate and still be competitive?
01:35:02.140
I mean, if he were to come back in a month and it was completely fine, I don't think missing
01:35:05.580
one debate would completely derail the campaign.
01:35:07.960
I don't think he was competitive in the first place.
01:35:10.420
I mean, still, there's a national pullout today that still has him right with Warren
01:35:16.000
So, I mean, he is, to say that he's, he has a base of support that doesn't seem to move
01:35:30.180
If you're Elizabeth Warren, all right, if I come in and talk, Bernie?
01:35:40.400
Drop out today and say, Elizabeth Warren is the, is the candidate that can bring my,
01:35:46.380
He's immediately the front runner in this race.
01:35:50.180
She's immediately the front runner in this race.
01:35:52.960
You know, he, Bernie Sanders fundraising numbers just came out.
01:36:02.120
Which is the highest number that has been turned out by, I think, any candidate on the Democratic
01:36:07.260
We don't have Warren's number for this quarter yet.
01:36:09.960
But he outdid even Buttigieg's huge quarter from last time.
01:36:15.200
I mean, the Bernie thing to me has been in decline this quarter.
01:36:18.140
He's actually increased fundraising and he's pretty much held his poll numbers largely flat.
01:36:23.960
I mean, he's probably a little bit of a drop off.
01:36:29.660
If he can say to his really loyal followers, look, go to Elizabeth Warren.
01:36:33.740
I'm going to be campaigning for her as soon as I feel better.
01:36:38.120
This lets him drop out without saying he lost, essentially, right?
01:36:42.560
You have someone who legitimately is going to try to campaign.
01:36:49.100
But she is, she is the only, she's just slightly more aware of what it looks like to say you're
01:37:01.440
She didn't go to Cuba and go, this is a paradise.
01:37:06.880
But to a bigger point, at that time, she was a Republican.
01:37:10.080
This is someone who has a much better understanding of a voter who might be in the middle.
01:37:16.640
And so she'll be a socialist in policy, but she never says she's a socialist.
01:37:24.620
This is a major development, and it obviously is massively important to the Biden campaign's future.
01:37:32.060
What's crazy is, because I think she is going to be the candidate.
01:37:43.720
As it becomes more apparent that she's going to be the candidate, you're going to see the
01:37:49.740
And on that note, look up at the screen, down 463 points.
01:37:54.640
I don't think, I don't think that's because of this.
01:37:58.160
They'll start pricing her candidacy in as impeachment goes.
01:38:02.280
And as she grows stronger, if Bernie grows weaker, she will start to look like the candidate and the stock, the corporation.
01:38:13.420
Did you see the tape that Facebook was leaked yesterday with Zuckerberg?
01:38:19.600
I mean, Zuckerberg is like, we got to work to make this not happen.
01:38:25.740
People are always talking about Zuckerberg, but I agree with him on this point.
01:38:32.540
If it's between Trump and Elizabeth Warren, who's, what's Facebook going to do?
01:38:41.960
Because Google, the people who actually run it know she's going to break you up.
01:38:56.500
I mean, it's going to be that 2020 is going to be the, the hurricane of all hurricanes.
01:39:15.260
I mean, can we talk about my heart attack and maybe the end of time again?
01:39:31.460
I don't think we're is the appropriate way to say that.
01:39:53.860
If you're like me, you try to avoid having things like Alexa and Amazon Echo in your home.
01:40:11.960
Because they have the screens where you can like, you can actually pull up Amazon Prime
01:40:17.940
Or you can, you can bring up your like security cameras on it or you can do video calls.
01:40:27.460
So I know people who are like, I don't want that.
01:40:34.860
But then they get on their, you know, their computer and they go with Google Chrome and
01:40:51.460
LifeLock, you need somebody that is watching you all the time and making sure that nobody
01:40:57.520
is, is stealing your stuff because they are following you.
01:41:01.380
For the first time, every American can say that they are following you.
01:41:07.300
It's, it's Google and Facebook and all of those people.
01:41:11.260
LifeLock.com will make sure that if anybody tries to hack in and steal anything, any private
01:41:21.920
They have a, they have a, uh, what do they call it?
01:41:24.540
A restoration specialist, a team of people that this is all they do.
01:41:33.220
Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but they
01:41:36.760
can see the threats that you might miss on your own.
01:41:38.920
So act now and for a limited time, get 30% off your first year with the promo code BECK.
01:42:00.520
Hey, did we get the clip from Eric Boulding's show last night?
01:42:22.600
Last night, let me give you a couple of things.
01:42:26.380
Liz Cheney has just come out, and she suggests that the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using
01:42:32.220
this pseudo-scandal to set up President Trump for impeachment.
01:42:36.140
She expressed doubt about the House Speaker's motive on Monday's tweet.
01:42:41.100
Cheney tweeted a clip of Pelosi's appearance on 60 Minutes in which Pelosi spoke about the
01:42:47.080
contents of that phone call with the president of Ukraine.
01:42:51.200
Quote, President Trump told me the call was perfect.
01:43:13.340
So how did she know what was in that phone call?
01:43:17.420
The same thing is true about apparently the Democrats knew what the whistleblower had said
01:43:28.420
Last night, can somebody know who was he talking to?
01:43:37.540
He's talking to somebody who has, you know, intelligence and whistleblower experience.
01:43:44.880
Let me play what what this guy said last night with Eric Bolling.
01:43:53.500
I've seen a number of whistleblowing complaints.
01:43:58.060
I thought this complaint was a little bit unusual.
01:44:03.080
It had a lot of legal references in it that made me a little more suspicious.
01:44:09.080
I'm very suspicious because the subject matter of this complaint was being discussed by Intel
01:44:13.900
Chairman Adam Schiff throughout the month of August.
01:44:16.080
He sent a tweet in late August that almost identically resembled this complaint.
01:44:23.660
I was on the House Intelligence Committee staff also.
01:44:26.000
And I know whistleblowers frequently come directly to this staff.
01:44:31.700
And Schiff's attorneys were probably involved in drafting this complaint.
01:44:35.700
I know Jay Sekulow has made the statement that he believes it looks more like a law firm than an actual individual writing the complaint.
01:44:44.880
But would that be unorthodox for Schiff's attorney to help?
01:44:49.620
Now, when I say Schiff's attorney, I mean Democratic attorneys on the House Intelligence Committee.
01:44:54.720
A senior staff member of the House Intelligence Committee called me and said, we think you're right.
01:45:00.860
And a member of this committee has told me the same thing, that he wants to get this whistleblower under oath to find out who was really behind this complaint.
01:45:13.540
He is the president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy.
01:45:17.620
He said this stuff was leaked out seven days prior.
01:45:21.880
Also, some of the members of the House, they were tweeting this stuff out.
01:45:27.920
And it was exactly what was in the whistleblower complaint that they said that Congress needed to see.
01:45:42.300
He also said it looks like it was written by an attorney.
01:45:49.740
In fact, he went on to say it looked like it was a group that put this together.
01:46:00.280
Because this is what we found out with what happened with Blasey Ford.
01:46:11.040
They keep doing it over and over and over again.
01:46:15.060
And they're hoping for different results and they're not going to be different results.
01:46:18.520
And the reason why they are going after Donald Trump is because he is going after their soft spot.
01:46:27.340
He is going after exactly what he knows they do not want exposed.
01:46:35.740
What they have, the operation that they have running in Ukraine is quite impressive.
01:46:43.120
And we're going to show you the evidence of it.
01:46:49.480
We're not going to, I'm not going to put any kind of things in there.
01:46:53.300
Well, it could be this and we think it might be.
01:46:56.200
I'll show you the evidence of what kind of machine is over there run by the Democrats.
01:47:03.380
And that happens tomorrow night at 9.30 Eastern.
01:47:08.120
It will happen on YouTube and also on Facebook if they don't throttle us down.
01:47:16.480
Our Ukraine special, The Scandal Explained, tomorrow, 9.30 Eastern.
01:47:31.400
You're going to have at best 300 minutes of time today where you have to pretend that you're, you know, you're interested and riveted by what they have to say.
01:47:42.800
God forbid that first impression creep into your head.
01:47:49.140
What you're really looking for is about five hours of your time.
01:47:55.820
How can I take five hours of my day and just flush it down the toilet?
01:48:03.320
How can I find that one person I'm looking for?
01:48:09.840
ZipRecruiter doesn't depend on candidates finding you.
01:48:15.640
It's basically headhunting technology that identifies the people with the right experience and invites them to apply for your posting.
01:48:22.360
And four out of five people who post on ZipRecruiter get the right candidate within the first day.
01:48:34.480
For the latest on the Bernie Sanders emergency surgery and blockages, listen to our blockage expert Jeff Fisher on Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, the podcast available everywhere.
01:48:55.800
Maxine Waters has called for Trump to be thrown into prison and the GOP needs to stop quoting his filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies and using mob language implying they should be killed.
01:49:08.160
Have you heard him imply that they should be killed?
01:49:11.020
There was one comment he made that was sort of like if you stretch it a hundred different ways was it was like something like, you know, we used to have people, you know, we didn't say rats or he says something like we used to have spies in, you know, we used to do stuff to him was treason.
01:49:33.060
Which I mean, again, like if you stretch that, oh, it's a penalty for treason.
01:49:42.160
They're also talking about who was it that said he should go to he should be executed.
01:49:51.480
Well, that was a Republican or well that was that's running for his job.
01:49:59.480
He's sitting in a scooter that has had the battery removed.
01:50:08.540
And the battery wheel, the scooter wheels lock up when the power is off.
01:50:12.420
And it doesn't really matter because they're square wheels anyway.
01:50:16.000
But other than that, I think he's got a great chance.
01:50:36.640
Now, not everybody's fundraising numbers are in.
01:50:39.900
But some of them, I think, are pretty interesting.
01:50:42.440
Is anyone, who's the one that is closest to the drop in the Dow today at now 525?
01:50:53.900
Who has the, who is, I'm not sure I understand the question exactly.
01:51:04.180
Who's tanking the most, I guess is your question.
01:51:07.160
Well, I mean, it's interesting because we have one, two, three, four, five, six candidates so far that have released their quarter three fundraising totals.
01:51:13.720
You'll hear all these in the next couple of weeks.
01:51:15.600
The ones that are usually disappointing, they try to wait on.
01:51:21.800
The main piece of this puzzle we do not yet have is Elizabeth Warren's fundraising, which we all expect to be pretty darn good.
01:51:31.600
This is probably going to be a great quarter for her.
01:51:34.440
But we have, like, if you were to say momentum of their campaign and then give me a number.
01:51:41.460
So Pete Buttigieg, if you remember, had a huge fundraising quarter, 24.9 million.
01:51:47.040
It was the highest of any candidate on the Democratic side so far in quarter two.
01:51:52.520
The momentum of this campaign, you'd say, okay, down, pretty notably since then.
01:52:01.180
So from 24.9, what do you think is fundraising totalism?
01:52:08.520
I think they're all wrong except for the right answer.
01:52:22.520
I would say for the place Buttigieg is in this campaign, 19 million is a damn good number.
01:52:35.460
To me, it shows how much people really don't want people like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders.
01:52:42.360
I mean, they may have big fundraising numbers, but when you got a guy who's, what, in fourth place?
01:52:56.100
Again, Buttigieg, the money, not the problem so far.
01:53:13.360
That's about what I think I probably would have guessed.
01:53:17.360
So she basically stayed flat, which, you know, I guess you could say her numbers were certainly down.
01:53:24.960
And she's, you know, now reworking with campaign operatives.
01:53:27.340
She's going through the process of, holy crap, this isn't working.
01:53:35.240
Well, I think his friend is out of money, so I'd say one.
01:53:41.940
He said, they're saying more than six is their quote, which probably means six million and one dollar.
01:54:03.780
And we'll go over some of the most recent polls.
01:54:08.600
He's getting it from millions of people, right?
01:54:13.420
I mean, didn't you tell me that it went up to like 25?
01:54:21.280
It's an impressive haul, again, for Bernie in a place where really it seems like his campaign is going nowhere.
01:54:27.280
And now with this new situation, if you missed it, he had emergency heart surgery last night.
01:54:34.160
They've canceled his campaigns for the foreseeable future.
01:54:39.020
What that means, whether it's a few weeks, whether it's a month, we don't know.
01:54:48.620
You know, there's October and part of November.
01:54:52.100
Then everyone goes into holiday mode for six weeks.
01:55:09.800
So, he's got, I mean, you've got this run here with a debate.
01:55:16.640
You got less than a month, basically, to put this whole thing together.
01:55:20.420
I don't know how you go on with a campaign if he's going to be out for a month or six weeks.
01:55:26.360
It just shows also on this impeachment how fraudulent it is, how it is only about the election.
01:55:33.480
Because why would you, you know, the government can't, they can't issue anything.
01:55:38.780
They can't get anything done in less than a year.
01:55:42.420
We are approaching the year mark before America goes to vote.
01:55:47.340
You're going to impeach him right before America goes to vote?
01:55:53.860
I don't know if I would believe that, though, because it's like almost like saying they didn't really care if Christine Blasey Ford was actually abused.
01:56:02.480
It's almost as if they've forgotten who she is completely since, you know, Kavanaugh was elected.
01:56:07.120
They didn't really care about how their health care reform would actually cripple and make things much worse for people.
01:56:14.520
Just, what, a week ago before this Ukraine call?
01:56:16.600
Now, Ukraine, you might say, okay, it's a significant issue, right?
01:56:21.300
The President of the United States making this call.
01:56:24.540
But really, what does it affect the next election?
01:56:28.380
Maybe, you know, our democracy is at stake at some level.
01:56:30.900
Certainly a much smaller issue than what you told us was important the week before, which was the entire world dying from climate change.
01:56:37.720
When you had a 16-year-old yelling at us, what happened to her when she came over here in her little petroleum-built boat across the ocean?
01:56:44.440
And now, all of a sudden, if it was really the most important thing in the world, why would you care about impeachment?
01:56:53.960
Wouldn't it be the third or fourth story every night in your newscast?
01:56:56.900
If you actually believed the Greta take on the climate, why would there be another thing in the news?
01:57:15.800
Then you've got Michael Bennett has released his.
01:57:20.620
Now, you know who Michael Bennett is, of course.
01:57:25.500
No, he's running for president of the Democrats.
01:57:29.520
I thought you were going to think he was a singer, that Frank Sinatra often back in the day.
01:57:40.600
If I had brought it up in a football conversation, you would have thought he's a football player.
01:57:50.480
And I think this is even more amazing because Bennett launches his campaign.
01:58:03.100
So you think, hey, this guy is going to bring in a couple million dollars.
01:58:06.880
And then you go through three months of this and you realize, okay, it's not working.
01:58:15.340
No one's going to donate more money to him, right?
01:58:19.960
It just shows that once you get in these power seats, your access to cash is basically constant.
01:58:26.840
Why would anyone donate to Michael Bennett's campaign unless you're trying to bribe him to do something for you later on?
01:58:38.540
I mean, and I say this honestly, would never consider donating to a political candidate.
01:58:46.280
Let's just say you have all the money and you have all this money and you're like, I'm going to make the biggest statement of my life.
01:58:51.000
I'm going to put a max donation to not only for the primary campaign and the major campaign, but you're going to give them, what, it is $6,000 or whatever the max donation is for two of those things.
01:59:01.340
You are paying for like three seconds of one commercial.
01:59:05.720
And it's like, why on earth would I waste my money on that?
01:59:13.560
I mean, again, Trump raised, I think, $125 million.
01:59:18.780
I just like, I would use my money to do anything else.
01:59:24.100
It has nothing to do with any of the Democrats.
01:59:28.660
I don't know why we have to spend this much money.
01:59:31.080
I think they should all have to do bake sales to make their money or what or fund it themselves.
01:59:37.880
Most of these guys, especially the ones that are in Congress at all and have been around, they're all rich.
01:59:44.760
I mean, and I'm making it seem romantic with three seconds of one commercial.
01:59:48.160
Really, what it usually probably more likely is, is 18 minutes of one of their flights or one nice dinner with a bunch of the people around them who are advising them, the consultants, you're paying for their steaks.
02:00:02.700
I value my, I kept to come in here every day and listen to you.
02:00:12.020
I mean, that was just one of those things that just pragmatically.
02:00:15.480
Much more, I would, if I really cared about, like, a particular issue or a candidate and I was going, I would much rather talk, try to persuade.
02:00:24.000
I'd go out and even volunteer time, go door to door.
02:00:27.000
Much more valuable than giving these people money.
02:00:31.320
I have to tell you, I am, this, this, all of this comes from us having to watch the stuff for you.
02:00:40.340
Okay, you're in your car and you're like, oh, I'm going to check in and see what's happening.
02:00:43.300
I mean, no, no, we have to watch it all day long to be able to understand it.
02:00:47.440
Just like politicians, we're blaming you for our problems.
02:01:02.280
They are, you know, there are some big money people that are like, we cannot have Elizabeth Warren.
02:01:10.760
And I think you'll see people like Yang do really well in fundraising as it looks more and more like Elizabeth Warren is going to be the person.
02:01:21.880
You wouldn't go out in a public place and take your wallet out and leave it on the sidewalk for a few hours because, you know, somebody's going to pick it up and they'll return it to you.
02:01:33.740
It's not a safe place for you to leave your device unlocked and open.
02:01:37.300
All your private information, logins, passwords, financial records, they could be up for grabs.
02:01:42.040
Somebody could be in that coffee shop using the public Wi-Fi and they're going to see all of your information.
02:01:46.680
And they're, of course, going to alert you about it.
02:01:52.200
It is an easy-to-use virtual private network that uses bank-grade encryption to hide your online activity.
02:02:01.020
It creates a secure tunnel for the information you send and receive online so cybercriminals can't see what you're doing online when you're connected to a Wi-Fi.
02:02:08.740
It also works to protect you from companies that want to track your browsing activities.
02:02:12.660
Just install, log in once, and let it run in the background.
02:02:22.800
Protection starts at $3.33 a month for the first year with annual enrollment.
02:02:50.460
Stu, give me the poll numbers, the latest poll numbers for the Democrats.
02:03:03.320
There's two competing narratives going on right now.
02:03:21.000
You need to get to the next, now 3% is the next debate.
02:03:30.740
And showing Elizabeth Warren ahead by how many points?
02:03:44.600
Yeah, that's a long, and that's with The Economist, I believe, is that poll.
02:03:55.960
Other pollsters are showing totally different results.
02:03:57.800
Another one came out from David Binder Research, which is not one I'm familiar with, but it's
02:04:06.180
And that one, and then Harris is another decent pollster.
02:04:14.200
So it's sort of a split between these national polls where Sanders, excuse me, Warren's momentum
02:04:18.920
is to be believed in one set of the polls and is not to be believed in the other.
02:04:23.540
So you're a guy who just, you love statistics, you love, you just love numbers and polls.
02:04:35.040
I would say the higher quality polls tend to be leaning towards the momentum being real
02:04:44.360
I mean, they're part of it and you have to kind of watch them as they develop.
02:04:47.940
But I mean, I think, I think it's closer than 34-21 Biden.
02:04:52.260
Biden may still have the lead when you look at all these things in full context, but it's
02:04:57.540
closer than I think I would, I mean, I would say that spread if you wanted to give it to
02:05:03.420
Biden would be, you know, 25-21 or 28-26, something like that.
02:05:10.100
I think we're at the point where we have, and we have this on our board, we have a chalkboard
02:05:13.480
that sits behind Glenn all the time where we break everybody into categories.
02:05:16.360
And the frontrunners right now, we have Biden and Warren as co-frontrunners.
02:05:20.580
Then, yeah, they've got a shot, Bernie Sanders.
02:05:23.220
This is, of course, pre-heart condition that we found out about today.
02:05:26.680
Then, I mean, maybe if everything goes right, we have Bob Frank O'Rourke, Booker, Kamala
02:05:33.820
And then everybody else is either in, eh, probably not.
02:05:36.360
I would move Buttigieg, and I'd leave Buttigieg in that category, maybe Kamala Harris, but
02:05:42.080
Cory Booker and Bob Frank O'Rourke, I think they're done.
02:05:48.620
I mean, Yang is polling at or above people like Bob Frank O'Rourke and Booker at this
