00:01:49.460 Yeah, you don't want to watch, like, airport tragedies while you're flying.

00:01:54.940 No.

00:03:28.040 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:03:30.780 Beautiful weather for Thanksgiving, at least here.

00:03:34.180 At least today.

00:03:35.360 I think it cools off quite a bit tomorrow.

00:03:36.880 It's like 80 today.

00:03:38.080 Is it really?

00:03:38.720 Yeah.

00:03:39.360 In the DFW Metroplex.

00:03:41.460 In the DFW Metroplex.

00:03:42.240 This is why I moved south.

00:03:43.960 80 on Thanksgiving.

00:03:45.660 Fine with it.

00:03:46.200 Love it.

00:03:46.740 Yeah.

00:03:47.000 Totally great.

00:03:47.920 Love it.

00:03:48.440 I mean, looking at the rest of the country, there's some major storms.

00:03:51.820 You've got some.

00:03:52.540 It's the thing.

00:03:53.220 Yeah.

00:03:53.420 So flights probably be delayed or canceled.

00:03:56.140 I'd be watching out for that.

00:03:57.920 Yeah.

00:03:58.320 I think in the Northeast, that's the case, right?

00:04:00.800 Yeah.

00:04:00.880 They're saying get to the airport three hours early.

00:04:04.020 Oh, geez.

00:04:04.760 The answer to that is no.

00:04:06.340 Okay.

00:04:06.960 I don't care.

00:04:08.480 I don't care.

00:04:09.640 Like, I don't care if this is the last Thanksgiving with a beloved relative.

00:04:14.880 Three hours?

00:04:15.540 No, thank you.

00:04:16.740 And they should understand that.

00:04:18.500 Your dead relative should understand that when you're at their funeral and you're like,

00:04:22.700 and you're thinking to yourself, gosh, I didn't make it to that last Thanksgiving.

00:04:25.740 Yeah, but it was three hours at the airport.

00:04:27.540 So it was completely worth it.

00:04:28.760 Totally worth it.

00:04:29.720 Totally worth not being there.

00:04:30.740 I would have rather had my moments at home than spending it with that loved one.

00:04:34.700 That's the decision to make because that's crazy.

00:04:38.260 And, you know, it is crazy.

00:04:39.360 You know, you mentioned Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster, my documentary, which is

00:04:45.640 available, by the way, a great watch over a very heavily traveled week.

00:04:51.020 You can check it out at blazeoriginals.com slash stew.

00:04:54.620 The code is D-E-I and you get 30 bucks off if you use that code.

00:04:58.700 But part of that is the air traffic control shortage and problems with the air traffic controllers.

00:05:04.040 And, you know, we do focus on the DEI aspects, how there was an assessment made by our federal government that there are just too many white males who wanted to be air traffic controllers.

00:05:17.740 And we needed to stop that because the people who kept passing the test were all white males. 0.98

00:05:22.960 So what we need to do is change the test so that white males won't pass it as often and other colors and other genders will. 0.97

00:05:31.620 Now, that to me, it strikes me, Pat, as a very bad idea.

00:05:36.760 But it is just one of the, you know, a slew of problems going on.

00:05:41.240 One of the issues they're dealing with is at Newark Airport.

00:05:44.220 One of the big reasons you're getting all of these delays all over the country is centrally because of Newark.

00:05:49.240 Now, if you've ever been to Newark, you don't want to ever go back to Newark.

00:05:54.540 Newark, it is not the it's not the happiest place on Earth.

00:05:59.340 No, no, that's like it's not even top five.

00:06:01.200 It's not even top five.

00:06:02.060 No, no, it's somewhere like below Bangladesh is where you'll find it.

00:06:07.700 And the airport itself is gigantic.

00:06:10.220 It's one of three major airports in New York.

00:06:13.100 And air traffic control was was handled on Long Island, which is in New York.

00:06:19.580 But they were having a problem staffing it there, you know, and Long Island, very expensive area, kind of difficult to really find a place to live.

00:06:28.000 That's cheap because you can't really commute there easily.

00:06:31.400 So they decided they were going to make this big move and take all that air traffic control for Newark and move it to the Philly area.

00:06:39.920 Easier to, I guess, get people to come in because the suburbs of Philly are very nice and you can you can you can drive from a long distance to get there.

00:06:47.060 So they wound up doing that did not go well because the people who were air traffic controllers for Newark all had their lives set up on Long Island and they didn't want to leave.

00:06:58.960 So they've been having all these problems and there's suspicions that, you know, some of these people are just being like, yeah, I can't make it.

00:07:07.160 And one of the this is just so typical and it makes so much sense with government.

00:07:13.040 But one of the issues is if there's like a close call, if there's something stressful that happens, they had a situation where the computers went down for like 40 seconds.

00:07:25.200 Which, you know, you might think I, you know, I have Microsoft Outlook that happens to me 46 times a day.

00:07:31.260 But when it happens with air traffic control, kind of a big situation if you're if your computers go down for 40 seconds.

00:07:37.180 So they went down at one point for 40 seconds and if an air traffic controller says that that was a traumatic experience for them, if they felt like they had some trauma, they have to be pulled off of the job.

00:07:52.080 Right.

00:07:52.580 So if they say, gosh, that was traumatic instantly, they are pulled off of the job because they can't be in a state of trauma trying to do this really important work.

00:08:02.540 Now, there's some sense to that.

00:08:04.180 You kind of understand why that rule might be in place.

00:08:07.360 However.

00:08:08.960 You also understand how that rule can be hacked.

00:08:11.900 The second you have a traumatic experience, you're off and you can't come on until you basically clear whatever, you know, whatever test you can get to to say that you're no longer being involved in trauma, which includes you saying it.

00:08:30.820 Right.

00:08:31.260 So you have to say, I no longer feel like I'm in a traumatic experience anymore.

00:08:35.460 You have to go to the doctor for that?

00:08:36.760 I don't know that you even need to be cleared by the doctor.

00:08:39.560 Part of it, though, has to be you saying it.

00:08:42.600 That I'm not traumatized.

00:08:44.000 I'm not traumatized anymore.

00:08:45.060 Okay.

00:08:45.380 Now, in fact, I was over 44 seconds after the computer went down.

00:08:49.820 This reminds me of the border where we say things like, well, if you come in and you say asylum, we have to just take you in and then release you into the country. 0.97

00:09:01.160 So everyone, they're not even like, we're like, oh, we got to build a wall.

00:09:04.600 And look, I'm for that.

00:09:05.740 But like, they don't care about the wall.

00:09:07.900 They're coming right across the normal crossings and saying, help, asylum.

00:09:12.720 They're not trying to evade capture.

00:09:15.000 They're trying to be captured.

00:09:16.440 And they're taught to do it.

00:09:17.300 And they're taught to do it.

00:09:18.440 And so they've learned to hack our rules.

00:09:21.840 They know the exact things to say in the order to say them.

00:09:26.640 And then they're released into the country.

00:09:28.520 And they have a court date in 18 months or three years or five years.

00:09:32.900 So they know it.

00:09:34.380 And it feels like, at least the accusation is, that's kind of what's going on.

00:09:39.260 And part of the reason why we're having so many delays.

00:09:41.440 If you're an air traffic controller and you just want time off.

00:09:45.220 Trauma.

00:09:46.060 You're traumatized.

00:09:47.280 You're traumatized.

00:09:48.500 Because it's like, you know, with like a school shooting.

00:09:51.840 If a kid makes a joke about a school shooting, the kid's not coming to school for a while.

00:09:55.660 Right?

00:09:56.080 And maybe never again.

00:09:57.460 Right?

00:09:58.060 And I, again, understand why that rule exists.

00:10:02.460 However, kids know that too.

00:10:05.460 And if a kid makes a joke like that because they don't want to go to school for two weeks,

00:10:10.280 that is something that has occurred.

00:10:12.700 Let's put it that way.

00:10:13.860 It's not super common, but it has occurred.

00:10:17.100 So with the busiest travel week of all time, that's really handy.

00:10:21.840 Yeah.

00:10:22.340 To have that kind of thing going on right now with air traffic controllers, airline strikes.

00:10:28.080 I mean, there's a whole bunch of different things that are happening, converging on this all at once.

00:10:31.920 It's amazing it hasn't gone haywire yet.

00:10:34.900 But I think things are going fairly smoothly up to this point.

00:10:38.440 But weather delays or whatever could really throw a monkey wrench into your holiday travel this weekend.

00:10:44.540 And 18 million people are traveling by air.

00:10:49.700 I think it's 80 million altogether that are either traveling by car or plane.

00:10:54.740 Yeah.

00:10:55.120 80 million people.

00:10:56.560 That's, you know, nearly a third of the country, but not quite.

00:10:59.640 But that's a lot of people.

00:11:01.640 So it's going to be a really busy weekend.

00:11:04.200 Did you do the flying thing when you were younger, like for family Thanksgivings?

00:11:08.700 Or did you drive?

00:11:09.540 Or what did you do?

00:11:11.020 We stayed home.

00:11:12.560 Stayed home.

00:11:13.040 People came to you?

00:11:13.560 Stayed home.

00:11:13.860 Or everyone's kind of in the area?

00:11:15.420 Yeah.

00:11:15.660 Family gathered at my parents' house.

00:11:17.100 Okay.

00:11:17.400 So, yeah.

00:11:18.000 We always had like a two-hour drive to my grandparents.

00:11:21.080 Oh, okay.

00:11:21.920 That was our travel every single year.

00:11:24.040 Thanks for rubbing in the fact that my grandparents were dead.

00:11:26.380 And we couldn't do that.

00:11:28.140 I mean, it wasn't really the intent of my parents.

00:11:30.880 I mean, it's too soon.

00:11:32.080 Too soon?

00:11:32.720 It's too soon.

00:11:33.520 Too soon.

00:11:34.040 How old would they be today?

00:11:35.660 What did you say?

00:11:36.260 I don't know.

00:11:36.680 In their mid-hundreds probably?

00:11:38.900 Mid to late hundreds?

00:11:39.860 Mid to late hundreds?

00:11:40.760 Yeah.

00:11:40.920 Okay.

00:11:41.240 Okay.

00:11:41.720 Well, I apologize for that.

00:11:43.180 Are you?

00:11:43.800 Oh, no.

00:11:44.380 Are you traumatized?

00:11:45.360 Yes.

00:11:45.500 Do you need to leave the broadcast?

00:11:46.420 I do need to leave.

00:11:47.080 Oh, no.

00:11:47.660 I do need to leave.

00:11:48.960 But this is just.

00:11:49.580 And I don't know that we have a test that allows me to come back.

00:11:51.720 So the day before Thanksgiving, you just need to leave the air early because you're traumatized?

00:11:56.380 Isn't it?

00:11:56.740 Yes, exactly right.

00:11:57.640 That's unfortunate.

00:11:58.480 You know, you being traumatized, and you're a friend of mine, of course, it traumatizes me.

00:12:04.700 And I'm very, I'm feeling terrible right now.

00:12:08.540 I guess that leaves it to BJ.

00:12:09.720 Yeah.

00:12:10.460 Good luck, BJ.

00:12:12.040 No.

00:12:12.540 So we used to drive a couple of hours and you'd get the traffic.

00:12:16.500 But I just remember sitting in the back of my dad's car and listening to, you know,

00:12:22.620 sport, almost always play by play of an NFL game.

00:12:25.800 You know what I mean?

00:12:26.380 And I can just feel that.

00:12:28.060 And you realize, like, how much of a part of people's lives this time of year radio is.

00:12:33.880 Because you not only have all the NFL games, you have, of course, our wonderful series of

00:12:39.520 talk radio stations, affiliates across the country.

00:12:42.340 And in addition to that, you have the Christmas music station.

00:12:46.460 Like, that's the other thing you're listening to right now.

00:12:49.840 And it really is a central part of, like, American life.

00:12:53.720 Sure is.

00:12:54.160 This time of year.

00:12:55.160 You know?

00:12:55.660 I mean, and so many people, that is a highlight.

00:12:59.280 Like, it is ingrained in your holiday experience.

00:13:03.880 The radio.

00:13:04.680 It is a huge, massive part of American culture.

00:13:11.140 And that's one thing I'm thankful for.

00:13:12.840 I will say, going into the election, one of those concerns, beyond just the normal stuff

00:13:20.640 that we are all concerned about, was whether the federal government would be coming after

00:13:26.620 those stations.

00:13:27.940 Right.

00:13:28.460 You know?

00:13:28.780 And they would have.

00:13:30.140 And I really think they would have.

00:13:31.500 I think they would have, too.

00:13:33.140 Seems like they were making that move.

00:13:34.700 Yep.

00:13:35.040 And they've been setting that up for a long time.

00:13:38.720 Hopefully now, we're past that.

00:13:41.280 Brendan Carr going to the FCC.

00:13:42.920 Very good development.

00:13:44.980 You've probably heard him on this program several times.

00:13:48.640 New FCC appointee for Donald Trump.

00:13:53.660 So, some really good things coming.

00:13:55.020 And when you talk about being thankful, it's hard to kind of separate that from what happened

00:14:00.200 a few weeks ago in the election.

00:14:02.260 Yeah.

00:14:02.440 You know?

00:14:03.280 It's...

00:14:03.880 That separation.

00:14:05.780 You think of that...

00:14:06.500 What was the old movie?

00:14:07.700 A Sliding Doors.

00:14:08.580 Remember that movie?

00:14:10.060 I don't know.

00:14:10.460 It's one of those movies that's used more as a reference than anyone's ever actually

00:14:13.160 seen it.

00:14:13.620 But it was a Gwyneth Paltrow movie.

00:14:15.380 Oh, yeah.

00:14:16.040 Remember that?

00:14:16.360 Yeah.

00:14:16.620 And the sliding doors of the subway or whatever are closing.

00:14:20.300 And they have two versions of the movie.

00:14:22.300 One of which, she makes the train. 0.66

00:14:24.380 The other one, she just misses it and the doors close.

00:14:27.000 And they take you through both timelines.

00:14:28.840 One timeline is she makes the train.

00:14:30.660 She gets home.

00:14:31.440 She catches her husband cheating, if I remember correctly. 0.99

00:14:33.960 The second, she misses the train.

00:14:36.420 So, she has to catch the next one.

00:14:38.080 The other woman gets out of the house at the last second. 1.00

00:14:40.500 And she doesn't know about the cheating.

00:14:41.880 And they kind of take you down both roads.

00:14:43.260 It's actually...

00:14:43.920 Not that I'm talking about.

00:14:44.580 It's kind of a cool concept.

00:14:45.940 It was a good movie, I think.

00:14:46.980 Because you kind of see both sides of it.

00:14:48.200 But, like, think of where we were.

00:14:51.640 I mean, it's easy to look back at that election and say,

00:14:53.880 Oh, Trump, you know, won easily.

00:14:55.460 He needed to win one of those blue wall states.

00:14:57.560 The biggest blowout of those three blue wall states was 1.7%.

00:15:02.760 It was the blowout one, Pennsylvania.

00:15:06.040 The other two were closer than that.

00:15:08.100 Wisconsin was less than a point.

00:15:09.920 That is, while, you know, maybe a little bit more comfortable

00:15:16.280 than I think some people thought going into the election.

00:15:20.280 It's really close.

00:15:22.180 And that could have gone the other way.

00:15:24.380 The American people could have picked Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. 1.00

00:15:27.900 And then what does this Thanksgiving feel like?

00:15:30.220 Bad.

00:15:31.000 It feels bad under those circumstances.

00:15:33.480 It feels like trauma to me, Pat.

00:15:34.820 And I feel traumatized.

00:15:36.280 And I can't do the show with trauma.

00:15:38.000 We know that.

00:15:38.600 We know that.

00:15:39.040 More coming up in one minute.

00:15:42.080 All right.

00:15:42.660 If you've noticed, maybe a lot of prices have gone up over the past few years.

00:15:47.580 Ammunition is no exception to that.

00:15:49.520 If you've gone to the range, it's like setting money on fire just to try to get better.

00:15:53.320 And if you have to hire a firearms instructor on top of that,

00:15:57.800 it's even worse because they're not even usually very cheap either.

00:16:00.900 Getting good with your gun is something that's an essential part of protecting your freedom

00:16:05.220 and your Second Amendment rights and the freedom of those that you love.

00:16:08.220 And it's quickly becoming kind of a rich man's game.

00:16:53.840 Station ID.

00:16:54.200 It's a frightful, what, 70 degrees where we broadcast.

00:17:16.060 It's going to be a little cooler tomorrow, though, I think.

00:17:17.980 80 today, and then is it in the 50s tomorrow?

00:17:21.400 I think considerably cooler tomorrow.

00:17:22.940 But still better than a lot of places where you're going to have snowy conditions

00:17:28.040 and probably flight delays and all of that kind of stuff coming up this weekend.

00:17:32.380 But I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving

00:17:35.320 and are able to get together with your family members, friends.

00:17:39.520 Of course, the pain of Stu bringing up my dead grandparents still haunts me.

00:17:45.000 Still haunts you?

00:17:45.580 You're still traumatized?

00:17:46.480 Yeah, I'm still traumatized.

00:17:48.780 Darn it.

00:17:49.220 Yeah.

00:17:49.680 Too soon.

00:17:50.120 Dang that trauma.

00:17:51.280 Too soon.

00:17:52.280 Too soon.

00:17:53.800 Yesterday, Joe Rogan had a guest on.

00:17:57.980 It was Mark Andreessen.

00:17:59.660 And they were talking about the fact that the left is trying to find a Joe Rogan of their own.

00:18:06.120 And he made kind of an interesting point that they had him for a long time.

00:18:13.040 I mean, Joe Rogan, a really lean Democrat.

00:18:16.080 If you remember back in 2020, he supported Bernie Sanders for president of the United States.

00:18:22.440 It's almost unbelievable when you think about it.

00:18:25.640 Now, look, Joe Rogan does what he does very, very well.

00:18:29.340 Very, very successful.

00:18:30.220 I would not say he is the, particularly in 2020, not exactly well-versed on policy.

00:18:36.580 No.

00:18:36.940 And I don't think he claimed to be necessary.

00:18:38.580 No, totally not.

00:18:39.700 I mean, that's not his thing.

00:18:41.100 Right.

00:18:41.440 Politics wasn't his thing.

00:18:42.740 I remember listening to that Bernie Sanders interview.

00:18:44.740 It was very frustrating to somebody who cares about policy.

00:18:48.900 Because, you know, he just, you know, he didn't know what questions to ask.

00:18:52.820 He wasn't into, that wasn't his thing.

00:18:54.400 Right.

00:18:54.740 And so when he endorsed Bernie Sanders, you had to take it a little bit with a grain of salt.

00:18:58.960 Like, the stuff that Bernie Sanders says to someone who doesn't follow policy on a day-to-day basis, you know, might sound okay.

00:19:05.300 I don't think he'd be in the same position today.

00:19:07.780 But if you just think back to this election, though, he did support RFK Jr., which is interesting, too.

00:19:13.900 Because, you know, other than a few issues, he's pretty leftist as well.

00:19:18.000 Well, I do think that is what Joe Rogan actually is.

00:19:21.960 He's not really a Trump supporter.

00:19:23.360 He's an RFK Jr. type of guy.

00:19:25.320 Right.

00:19:25.740 I mean, that's fine.

00:19:27.060 Obviously, in RFK Jr.

00:19:28.120 At the middle of the road, independent-ish.

00:19:30.640 And RFK Jr. had his own little sliding doors moment there where he was like, he tried to call Kamala Harris to get a job there and they didn't return his calls.

00:19:38.280 What would have happened?

00:19:39.640 I mean, really, what would have happened if Kamala returns that call and says, you know what?

00:19:44.460 Whatever you want.

00:19:45.260 You want HHS secretary?

00:19:46.600 You got it.

00:19:47.140 But, I mean, that was his first call, not his second call.

00:19:50.920 His first call was to Kamala Harris.

00:19:53.040 I mean, it makes sense.

00:19:53.720 The guy ran as a Democrat this cycle.

00:19:56.460 Right.

00:19:57.440 Right.

00:19:58.040 Right?

00:19:58.660 So, that's a fascinating...

00:20:01.260 It really is.

00:20:02.920 I don't know if that would have changed the election, but it might have.

00:20:06.280 Might have.

00:20:06.560 It's possible.

00:20:07.000 Yeah.

00:20:07.220 It's definitely possible.

00:20:08.080 But Andreessen made this point that, you know, they had Rogan, but they also already have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.

00:20:19.260 And, you know, and this is something I bring up a lot on my show.

00:20:23.940 The left is always whining and crying about the Joe Rogans of the world or Fox News and conservative podcasts.

00:20:31.440 When the extent of their influence goes way beyond the network news stations and CNN and MSNBC.

00:20:42.280 They've got all major newspapers in this country.

00:20:45.020 They've got all of Hollywood.

00:20:46.760 They have TV.

00:20:48.220 They have movies.

00:20:48.880 They have all of the music industry.

00:20:51.160 And yet, Republicans won.

00:20:55.060 So, what does that tell you?

00:20:57.280 It tells me that I think the American people still, while we might have lost confidence in them, they still have a certain amount of common sense.

00:21:06.840 Yeah.

00:21:06.960 They still have enough of the principles of this country ingrained in their psyche and their DNA that they can reject all the leftism that has been thrown at them in the last few years.

00:21:18.640 That's a good way of looking at it.

00:21:19.920 I should fess up to that, too.

00:21:21.900 I over and over again said on the show leading up to the election, we can't possibly be this stupid, right?

00:21:28.600 And we're not.

00:21:29.640 And we're not.

00:21:30.140 Thank heaven we're not.

00:21:31.160 I mean, we're close to being this stupid.

00:21:33.820 We're really close.

00:21:35.160 We're close, but we're not this stupid yet.

00:21:39.140 Yes!

00:21:39.760 Yes!

00:21:40.220 We did it, America!

00:21:41.400 And I'll take it!

00:21:42.320 Yeah.

00:21:42.700 I will take it.

00:21:44.320 It's so true. 0.84

00:21:45.080 I just kept thinking, like, they can't possibly fall for Kamala Harris as a border hawk, right?

00:21:50.720 And the answer is, no!

00:21:52.220 No!

00:21:52.560 They actually buy 1.7%, but no!

00:21:56.820 I love it, though.

00:21:58.260 I absolutely love it.

00:21:59.460 Oh, I do, too.

00:21:59.940 It's going to be a happy Thanksgiving as a result.

00:22:03.420 Glenn Beck.

00:23:49.320 Yeah.

00:23:50.100 Welcome.

00:23:51.700 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:23:55.200 On the very precipice of Thanksgiving.

00:23:58.820 This is kind of fun.

00:23:59.660 Democratic strategist Theron Bond.

00:24:03.020 Absolutely.

00:24:03.580 She actually begged Kamala Harris to never run for president again. 1.00

00:24:11.160 She's so great.

00:24:13.300 Apparently, you know, Harris has been telling her allies that she's staying in the fight.

00:24:19.360 So she... 0.98

00:24:20.020 No.

00:24:20.700 She... 1.00

00:24:21.220 I guess everybody's taking that to mean that she's gonna be back in 28.

00:24:25.740 I don't know if it means that.

00:24:27.020 She's considering running for governor in California.

00:24:29.140 That one seems real.

00:24:30.180 Yeah.

00:24:30.580 To me.

00:24:31.300 And she'd probably win that.

00:24:33.040 A hundred percent.

00:24:34.320 She will absolutely win.

00:24:36.120 Probably win that.

00:24:37.040 Yep.

00:24:37.500 Because Californians are just butt stupid. 1.00

00:24:40.620 This is what happens though.

00:24:43.500 Yeah.

00:24:43.680 Right?

00:24:43.880 Yes.

00:24:44.180 She will win that.

00:24:44.800 You know what else will happen?

00:24:46.400 Andrew Cuomo will be mayor of New York City.

00:24:48.820 That will happen.

00:24:49.540 Almost certainly.

00:24:49.980 Right?

00:24:50.400 Yeah.

00:24:50.840 You're on that bandwagon too?

00:24:51.940 Yes.

00:24:52.120 That's totally what I think is gonna happen.

00:24:53.480 Yes.

00:24:54.620 Now, I've been saying that for months.

00:24:56.940 There was a real story that came out the other day that he was actually doing it.

00:25:00.520 We'll see if that winds up happening.

00:25:02.420 It sure sounds like it.

00:25:03.440 It sounds like he's on his way.

00:25:04.680 And they're like, oh, well, he might have to win that primary.

00:25:07.400 He'll win the primary.

00:25:08.340 That won't be tough for him.

00:25:10.160 Because I don't know if a lot of those Democrats have been to your website, on the Cuomo websites.

00:25:17.040 Oh, either of them.

00:25:17.920 Andrew Cuomo was awful.com?

00:25:19.420 Right.

00:25:19.800 Oh, yeah.

00:25:20.420 That would be one that they could check out.

00:25:22.580 Or you could go chriscuomoisworse.com?

00:25:24.600 Yes.

00:25:25.340 Either of those would do.

00:25:26.640 Both still active.

00:25:27.880 By the way, you can get 25% off.

00:25:30.500 What was the Glenn quote?

00:25:31.640 You just said it.

00:25:32.960 Glenn 25?

00:25:34.180 Yes.

00:25:34.600 Glenn 25.

00:25:35.140 Yeah, if you go to glennbeckmerch.com, there's a section for Glenn, of course.

00:25:39.440 But also, if you click around, you can get to the stew section, which has the Andrew Cuomo is awful merchandise, if you're interested.

00:25:46.720 And I think I'm going to be starting to sell a bunch of those again.

00:25:49.160 We sold a heck of a lot of them.

00:25:51.440 And then, luckily for the people of New York, he went away.

00:25:55.420 Yeah.

00:25:56.060 And now he's coming back.

00:25:58.220 So congratulations for that.

00:26:00.820 That is very common, I think, what happens to people.

00:26:04.080 And I think it's an interesting split, like the fallout when the blame comes.

00:26:11.220 Do you have this Kamala Harris, what was the quote that you said, just begging, she was just begging for Kamala not to run?

00:26:19.700 I'm looking forward here.

00:26:21.380 It was something like, she shouldn't, oh, yeah, okay.

00:26:26.980 I hope she doesn't.

00:26:29.040 And if she's relying on those same advisors that advised her in this cycle, that's who I would not listen to.

00:26:36.760 Please don't run.

00:26:39.400 Please.

00:26:41.100 She emphasized the please multiple times.

00:26:44.620 She's literally begging.

00:26:46.040 I love it.

00:26:46.480 But it's interesting.

00:26:47.920 I feel like that sentiment on the left is a bit of the minority right now.

00:26:55.000 Like, it's interesting.

00:26:56.480 After every loss, there's that fallout.

00:26:59.320 And there's this, like, sentiment from the losing party, the Democrats here, as to how they feel about the candidate.

00:27:06.680 And I feel like Kamala has had a pretty light run of this so far.

00:27:10.160 I don't feel like the blame has fallen on her, largely.

00:27:13.520 I think that...

00:27:14.000 Quite a bit's gone to Biden.

00:27:15.040 To Biden.

00:27:15.500 I think Biden's had a much bigger part of that blame pie, which kind of, I don't know, he did step down.

00:27:23.660 I mean, they begged him to step down.

00:27:25.220 He's like, all right, I'll do it.

00:27:26.600 I mean, he did it under duress, certainly.

00:27:28.920 But he did give up his presidency and his legacy.

00:27:32.520 He didn't give up his presidency, technically.

00:27:34.960 One thing you should know is that he currently is the president of the United States still to this day, which is terrifying.

00:27:42.720 It really is.

00:27:43.560 But, you know, he was...

00:27:45.140 Yeah, he's the type of person who, you know, really wanted that job and wanted to run.

00:27:51.260 And I think in his heart of hearts, believes he would have beaten Donald Trump.

00:27:55.200 I also believe that after January 20th, his I told you so campaign will begin.

00:27:59.800 I think once he's no longer associated with her as vice president,

00:28:03.260 and there's been some time between the election and the inauguration of Trump,

00:28:08.000 once that's over, I think he goes on to say, I told you.

00:28:11.980 I told you she wouldn't win.

00:28:13.060 Are you trying to lay the groundwork for Biden 2028?

00:28:16.520 Is that what you're trying to do right now?

00:28:17.660 Because I am all in on it.

00:28:19.580 It'll only be 86.

00:28:20.820 Yeah.

00:28:21.320 There's no reason he shouldn't run.

00:28:23.060 And Trump will be...

00:28:23.960 He's sharp as a tack.

00:28:24.520 He's the best communicator in the White House.

00:28:26.120 You know, he's sharper.

00:28:27.040 He runs circles around.

00:28:28.120 He's a 25-year-old aides.

00:28:29.540 Yeah.

00:28:29.780 Did you know that?

00:28:29.980 They can't keep up with him.

00:28:30.640 They can't keep up with the guy.

00:28:31.600 Yeah.

00:28:32.040 They can't keep up with him.

00:28:34.020 But I think Biden seems to be getting the rough part of this.

00:28:37.820 And the blame seems to be like he should have known not to run.

00:28:41.320 At all.

00:28:42.040 At all.

00:28:42.540 Which, of course, is 100% true.

00:28:46.020 However, nobody else on the Democratic side admitted that until it was way too late.

00:28:51.300 It's really their fault.

00:28:52.840 Because, you know, if everyone did what Dean Phillips did,

00:28:55.440 it was like, I'm running.

00:28:57.260 This guy's obviously going to lose.

00:28:58.760 If Gavin Newsom did that, if J.B. Pritzker did that...

00:29:02.880 Instead of acting like, no, Joe Biden is the best we've got.

00:29:07.040 Right.

00:29:07.300 That's what they did.

00:29:08.120 He's at the top of his game.

00:29:10.420 There's no reason not to vote for him.

00:29:12.340 They had a decision to make, and that was the one they made.

00:29:14.420 Unbelievable.

00:29:14.900 Which was to ignore what everyone knew.

00:29:17.160 Yeah.

00:29:17.560 And so this is on them.

00:29:19.040 It's not on him as much.

00:29:20.720 That's just incredibly stupid.

00:29:21.680 I mean, look, the guy's an invalid. 1.00

00:29:24.940 Yeah.

00:29:25.360 Right?

00:29:25.720 Like, how are you...

00:29:26.500 I mean, that's not a stretch.

00:29:27.520 Yeah.

00:29:28.320 And if you look at, like, the way these elections happen, like, I would say 2016, the blame went

00:29:33.480 squarely on Hillary's shoulders.

00:29:34.900 It wasn't like, oh, you know, it was a very...

00:29:37.320 Unlike John McCain losing in 2008, everyone was like, well, of course he was going to lose

00:29:41.600 to Barack Obama in that moment.

00:29:43.280 He had no chance.

00:29:44.260 Like, that's what it...

00:29:44.980 Now, I, of course, had all sorts of problems with John McCain.

00:29:48.560 But if anyone gets blamed for 2008, it's Sarah Palin. 0.64

00:29:52.080 Right?

00:29:52.440 Sarah Palin gets this, like, oh, she was a joke.

00:29:54.840 Like, that was a Hail Mary, right?

00:29:57.820 I mean, McCain had no chance of winning that election.

00:30:01.140 He picked Palin.

00:30:02.320 For a couple of weeks, he was ahead.

00:30:05.660 I mean, she...

00:30:06.600 Yeah.

00:30:06.620 You know, again, it didn't work out.

00:30:08.080 And it was because he picked her that he was ahead.

00:30:09.400 And it was because he picked her.

00:30:10.160 Because nobody liked John McCain.

00:30:11.500 Yeah.

00:30:11.940 No conservatives, anyway.

00:30:13.200 No conservatives.

00:30:14.140 And, you know, it just didn't work at all.

00:30:15.420 But, like, people don't really, I don't think, look back and blame John McCain for that loss,

00:30:21.120 typically.

00:30:21.700 Like, the loss is more of like, oh, well, it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

00:30:24.700 Barack Obama.

00:30:26.080 You know, you had the financial crisis going on, coming out of Bush.

00:30:30.680 No Republican could have won in that circumstance.

00:30:32.520 And I think that's actually probably accurate.

00:30:34.800 Someone else may have done better than John McCain did.

00:30:37.940 But I think it would have been really hard to win that election in 2008.

00:30:41.420 Mitt Romney, on the other hand, I think a lot of people look at Romney and be like,

00:30:44.080 what the hell happened?

00:30:45.920 Like, there was no love for Romney coming out of that election.

00:30:49.100 People were pissed off about it.

00:30:50.860 How did you lose that?

00:30:51.940 Things weren't going well.

00:30:53.360 You destroyed him in that first debate.

00:30:55.440 And then you took your foot off the gas and blew it.

00:30:58.640 That's how I look back at that election.

00:31:00.420 Exactly.

00:31:00.860 It's not like, oh, Barack Obama was a genius.

00:31:03.440 And he, you know, ran a perfect campaign.

00:31:06.780 That's not how I look at it at all.

00:31:08.200 That feels like a blown election.

00:31:10.180 I think at some level, that's how people look at John Kerry on the left.

00:31:13.580 Like, they should have won in 2004.

00:31:15.880 I think with Hillary, the blame went on Hillary. 1.00

00:31:18.960 That was like, how could you have lost to Donald Trump?

00:31:21.680 That was a, you didn't visit Wisconsin.

00:31:24.060 Like, that's the type of stuff that you remember from that election.

00:31:26.780 In a very close election.

00:31:29.020 That's how the left looks at that.

00:31:30.180 And they don't revere her.

00:31:31.980 They don't love when she goes on MSNBC and tries to hawk her books.

00:31:35.360 She doesn't get this glowing reception.

00:31:38.240 Kamala seems to be like, oh, it's not her fault.

00:31:41.800 Oh, gosh.

00:31:42.700 The American people are too racist.

00:31:44.400 They're too sexist.

00:31:46.840 Like, a lot of those excuses that Hillary kind of trotted out after her loss are being sort of accepted for Kamala.

00:31:55.340 Along with the, oh, well, she only had a couple of months.

00:31:59.600 And, oh, man, it was an impossible situation.

00:32:02.380 Joe Biden was so, you know, it was his fault.

00:32:05.100 She was put in a tough spot.

00:32:06.580 And she couldn't do anything about it.

00:32:07.960 I'm sorry.

00:32:08.480 This is the woman that picked Tim Walz. 0.78

00:32:10.460 Yeah.

00:32:11.000 Just that is disqualifying from all future government jobs, including dog catcher.

00:32:16.540 All the way down the list, every single role in the government, janitor at any government building.

00:32:23.300 If you thought Tim Walz was the right guy to be a heartbeat from the presidency, you're disqualified from everything.

00:32:30.660 And fortunately, a lot of people thought he was the right guy.

00:32:34.260 Fortunately.

00:32:35.040 I don't know.

00:32:35.820 How?

00:32:36.240 I don't know.

00:32:37.040 The same people that think you can't decide what a woman is without a biologist around.

00:32:42.200 But they don't believe that, though, in reality.

00:32:44.660 You're like, you know, we don't actually, this is the truth.

00:32:48.620 We don't actually have a Supreme Court justice that doesn't know what a woman is. 1.00

00:32:53.780 Kataji Brown Jackson knows what a woman is. 1.00

00:32:55.900 She just didn't say it.

00:32:57.460 She lied in front of the American people because she thought it was the right thing to say.

00:33:02.460 And I think a lot of that is the same with Tim Walz.

00:33:05.720 You know, like, no one, they didn't think Tim Walz was the right choice.

00:33:11.700 What they thought was the Hamas wing of our party will protest us if we pick Josh Shapiro.

00:33:17.360 That's what happened.

00:33:18.460 But there were other options there, like Mark Kelly.

00:33:21.640 Why didn't they go with him?

00:33:23.200 He might have been the most scary of the three.

00:33:25.440 Yeah, I mean, I, I, that was my initial thought, too.

00:33:29.180 And then I watched Mark Kelly in multiple debates because I went back and kind of did, I did the film work.

00:33:34.460 You know, like you do that, like you look at, you can look at the stats on the page and then you got to go do the film work.

00:33:38.800 I did that because I was trying to figure out who they were going to pick.

00:33:41.620 And I was convinced it was Mark Kelly on paper, got a swing state, a state that would have been probably wins the election if you just win Arizona.

00:33:50.380 Right.

00:33:50.740 You know, they because if they want Arizona, it would have been really difficult for Trump to to win the election because it's probably a scenario in which maybe Nevada falls as well.

00:34:00.560 They don't need to hold all three of the blue wall states in that scenario.

00:34:05.640 I mean, Trump still could have won, but just Arizona may have been enough.

00:34:10.400 And when you look at it with Kelly, here's a guy who is does everything that Kamala doesn't have.

00:34:18.000 Right.

00:34:18.200 Like here's a you know, he's sort of, you know, an astronaut, kind of a American hero profile, military experience.

00:34:26.000 Another big thing was it was a direct path to be able to talk about guns.

00:34:32.640 This is right after the assassination attempt on Trump.

00:34:35.580 One of the things they wanted to do was say that Republicans are violent and they want everyone to have guns and school shootings and all these things.

00:34:41.660 They wanted to go after that angle and paint the Republicans at the violent party.

00:34:46.220 Well, the Mark Kelly appointment sort of disables that a little bit because when you had the assassination attempt, it took that argument off the table for the Democrats.

00:34:55.180 They couldn't really argue, hey, it's when our donors are trying to assassinate our opponent.

00:35:00.760 It's hard to say that they're the violent ones.

00:35:02.660 They attempted it anyway.

00:35:03.900 They tried their Hitler stuff. 0.78

00:35:04.880 Obviously, just didn't work with Kelly, though.

00:35:07.440 His wife was almost killed.

00:35:09.240 And in a in a shooting, a mass shooting in which they blamed Republicans, even though it had nothing to do with Republicans whatsoever.

00:35:16.740 There was at least the idea that, OK, hey, your guy almost got assassinated.

00:35:22.460 Well, my wife almost got assassinated.

00:35:24.700 It helped disable that whole argument. 0.77

00:35:29.500 Right.

00:35:30.220 And so I was kind of convinced of it initially.

00:35:32.180 Then I went back and watched him in action and he's just not good.

00:35:36.160 He's not good in a debate.

00:35:37.480 He would have been.

00:35:38.060 I mean, J.D. Vance would have politically slaughtered Mark Kelly on that stage.

00:35:44.800 That would have been ugly.

00:35:45.820 It was ugly with walls.

00:35:47.180 It was.

00:35:47.660 It would have been really bad with Kelly.

00:35:49.220 He was.

00:35:49.400 Wow.

00:35:49.700 He's just, you know, he's not smooth.

00:35:52.300 He's he's he's off kilter.

00:35:54.080 He's just not good at that.

00:35:56.380 And so I think that's what they were the reason he didn't get picked.

00:35:59.480 Shapiro, though, is the exact opposite.

00:36:01.520 Yeah.

00:36:01.700 He's really good in those moments.

00:36:03.060 He would have been a formidable challenger and he will be in 2028 actually really good

00:36:09.400 because it happened in his state after the assassination attempt on Trump.

00:36:13.040 He was really good, really good for both sides.

00:36:15.540 He didn't try to blame Republicans.

00:36:17.120 Really?

00:36:17.200 No.

00:36:17.640 Right.

00:36:18.020 Donald Trump's rhetoric for his own assassination.

00:36:20.100 Completely reasonable.

00:36:20.960 He was really reasonable and good.

00:36:22.740 He's had several of those moments in Pennsylvania.

00:36:25.080 Yep.

00:36:25.380 He's I mean, he's a formidable threat going forward.

00:36:28.040 He might be the guy.

00:36:28.780 He might be.

00:36:29.700 Now, look, that doesn't mean I don't know for sure.

00:36:32.260 That would have been enough to switch the election.

00:36:34.120 Yeah, but would have been better than Walls.

00:36:36.340 That's for sure.

00:36:36.960 Which, by the way, I mean, in the middle of the election, she came out and leaked the

00:36:41.900 story that she was overtired when she made the pick.

00:36:46.000 Why would you do that in the middle?

00:36:49.600 Not after the election, after they lost.

00:36:51.780 Oh, God, that was a terrible mistake.

00:36:53.020 I was really exhausted and overtired.

00:36:54.740 She said it during the election.

00:36:57.040 Amazing.

00:36:57.980 Amazing.

00:36:58.580 I mean, it explains it.

00:37:00.680 Yeah.

00:37:00.860 Either that or, as we saw yesterday with the video they released, she may have just been

00:37:05.420 hammered, just drunk off her butt. 1.00

00:39:10.820 I don't know what to call it anymore, because does anybody buy albums anymore?

00:39:15.540 I, I, maybe?

00:39:17.800 You know, I actually just did buy, randomly just did buy an album.

00:39:21.200 Like an actual vinyl album or a CD?

00:39:23.740 I don't even have a thing to play on it, but it just, I don't know why.

00:39:26.640 I don't either.

00:39:27.400 I wouldn't, I wouldn't know what to do with a record anymore.

00:39:30.180 Do you know, they've now passed, I think it's CDs?

00:39:33.520 I think it's CDs.

00:39:34.860 Vinyl has passed, like in sales, CDs currently.

00:39:39.880 What?

00:39:40.340 Yeah, like they, you know.

00:39:41.340 Again, it's, it's ahead of CD sales.

00:39:44.000 Yeah, it went, because obviously forever.

00:39:46.120 It's for, it's hip for some reason.

00:39:48.020 Yeah.

00:39:48.640 Uh, young people like the vinyl sound.

00:39:51.280 I, my.

00:39:51.840 I don't understand it.

00:39:53.520 My, my daughter asked me for one for Christmas.

00:39:56.640 Have you a sip?

00:39:58.420 Well, that's what happens to vinyl.

00:40:00.700 Yeah, when it's perfect, they, the real audio files say it's better than digital.

00:40:06.220 Is it though?

00:40:07.340 You know, I had a friend who had like, he spent like $5,000 on a stereo system with vinyl.

00:40:13.920 Mm-hmm.

00:40:14.440 And he.

00:40:15.440 Like recently or?

00:40:16.240 This is probably six or seven years ago now.

00:40:19.900 Yeah.

00:40:20.440 So fairly recently though.

00:40:21.700 Yeah, fairly recently.

00:40:22.540 And, and he would buy the vinyl and he would sit in his apartment and like just listen to music.

00:40:27.640 Like, and then tell me how like the, the, the, the, the quality, I can't even listen to those MP3s.

00:40:33.740 I can't even.

00:40:34.740 You know, it was like one of those guys, you know?

00:40:36.720 Yeah.

00:40:37.020 And he's like, oh, I can't even listen to that.

00:40:38.520 It's a terrible quality.

00:40:39.940 And then you got the lossless.

00:40:42.780 You got to listen to it on real vinyl like it was intended.

00:40:45.520 It's like, all right.

00:40:46.080 I would, first of all, I'm not spending $5,000.

00:40:48.960 Secondly, they'd all be scratched in eight minutes.

00:40:51.480 That's what happens to them.

00:40:52.860 What happens?

00:40:55.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:57.640 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:27.640 We got to stand together if we're going to survive.

00:41:49.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:51.860 Featuring Pat and Stu today for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:42:00.220 The Democrat blame game continues.

00:42:04.740 Some blaming Joe Biden for not getting out of the race soon enough.

00:42:10.780 Others blaming Kamala Harris.

00:42:13.720 I think less so, but we're going to show you something interesting from her that might have had a little something to do with what happened in the election.

00:42:21.560 Coming up in 60 seconds.

00:42:26.980 You know when you're driving and your wife is sitting there right next to you telling you how every little turn you missed or how you're going too fast or going too slow or yelling at you for dozing off for just a second.

00:42:39.760 And, you know, when you're driving, you can't be awake the entire time.

00:42:44.820 All of that's kind of annoying, but unfortunately she can't use that high power perception at the gun range. 0.93

00:42:50.380 And although maybe you don't want her, if you're going to talk about her like this, maybe you don't want her necessarily too well trained with that firearm.

00:42:56.800 But you want to be able to actually protect yourself, protect your family, protect your Second Amendment rights.

00:43:03.620 You're going to need Mantis X.

00:43:45.320 You know, for years, we've been told that Joe Biden doesn't drink at all.

00:43:56.380 That's true.

00:43:57.060 We've disputed that somewhat because we found some evidence that, man, he sure looked drunk

00:44:02.120 when he was out in his T-shirt singing about the villages.

00:44:06.520 The villages, America's friendliest hometown.

00:44:13.100 Tell me he's not drunk.

00:44:14.180 The villages.

00:44:16.620 It's been so long.

00:44:17.480 America's friendliest hometown.

00:44:21.180 The villages.

00:44:24.620 Now, some, I won't name names, Glenn Beck, believe that that's not actually Joe Biden.

00:44:31.380 I remember seeing the video.

00:44:32.840 Yes.

00:44:33.580 It's not just audio.

00:44:34.500 It's video.

00:44:34.880 Right.

00:44:35.240 Like, that's Joe Biden.

00:44:36.800 Singing the villages and hammered.

00:44:38.640 Yes.

00:44:39.400 Yes, it is.

00:44:40.880 Now, was his vice president hammered when...

00:44:47.240 Yes.

00:44:47.760 Yes.

00:44:48.260 You do believe she was hammered?

00:44:49.240 Whatever the rest of that sentence is, the answer, I think, is yes.

00:44:52.800 She does seem to hit the sauce. 0.88

00:44:55.240 Yeah, she does.

00:44:56.160 And look...

00:44:56.540 On many occasions, she seems to have been drunk.

00:45:00.060 Yeah, there's many stages of this.

00:45:02.400 Sometimes she's just a little buzz.

00:45:03.880 Sometimes she's just had a glass of wine, it seems like.

00:45:06.980 She does, at times, though, seem like she's gone overboard.

00:45:09.680 Yeah.

00:45:09.860 And yesterday...

00:45:10.040 She's goofy. 0.99

00:45:10.740 She slurs.

00:45:11.840 Yeah.

00:45:13.500 And yesterday kind of looked like that.

00:45:15.240 Yeah.

00:45:15.860 Check this out.

00:45:16.580 I just have to remind you, don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.

00:45:24.160 You have the same power that you did before November 5th.

00:45:28.940 And you have the same purpose that you did.

00:45:34.160 And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.

00:45:40.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:45:40.900 So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.

00:45:46.080 Help! 0.98

00:45:47.600 That was all that was missing there.

00:45:49.200 It really looked like it.

00:45:50.400 Help! 0.98

00:45:50.620 I mean, come on!

00:45:54.960 Something's going on there.

00:45:56.260 Pat, why?

00:45:56.800 I don't know if she's medicated, if she's drunk, but something's going on there.

00:46:00.120 Why would they release that?

00:46:01.240 I don't know.

00:46:02.060 Because that's not...

00:46:02.820 I don't know.

00:46:03.280 That's like a pre-recorded thing.

00:46:05.240 She could have done it again.

00:46:06.300 They could have said, you know what?

00:46:07.580 Honestly, you're not looking so great today, Kamala.

00:46:09.580 Let's do this tomorrow.

00:46:11.480 It was from the Democrats actually released it.

00:46:14.000 Yeah.

00:46:14.400 It's not like it was a hidden camera.

00:46:17.020 You know, like I could see that being, you know, coming out like the Washington Free

00:46:20.840 Beacon, like hunts down behind the scenes footage of her butchering one of these statements. 0.94

00:46:26.380 No, that's actually what they released.

00:46:28.120 Yeah.

00:46:28.640 And I will say, listening to it doesn't quite do it justice.

00:46:31.920 You can hear her slur a couple of words there. 0.99

00:46:33.880 Her face, like, almost looks out of sync with what she's saying.

00:46:37.660 Yeah.

00:46:38.560 She looks just like you look, man.

00:46:41.220 When you've had too many, you've had four or five glasses of wine and then someone brings

00:46:46.200 you on camera, that's probably what you look like.

00:46:48.740 And, you know, that's obviously the best take they had.

00:46:51.720 Maybe you just don't record it that day.

00:46:53.680 Maybe you just don't release it.

00:46:55.280 Give her a day. 0.99

00:46:56.100 It's bizarre.

00:46:57.440 It's really weird.

00:46:58.860 Do they not?

00:47:00.300 Are they all so drunk that they just don't realize she seems drunk here?

00:47:04.660 That's amazing.

00:47:05.440 Maybe.

00:47:05.660 As someone who has done multiple power hours, Stude Does Power Hour, this is something we

00:47:10.700 do as what we have done in the past as part of Stude Does America, bonus programming, where

00:47:17.200 we will have a panel up and we will do an old school, like, college power hour.

00:47:23.080 If you're not familiar, you're probably a good person.

00:47:26.480 But it was one shot of beer per minute for an hour.

00:47:30.120 So, you get to 60 shots of beer, you know, and if you get a shot, a beer doesn't feel

00:47:35.240 like it would do anything.

00:47:35.900 But I think you get to, like, seven and a half beers in an hour is what it winds up being.

00:47:40.720 So, by the end of it, and I have a very low tolerance for, I don't do particularly well

00:47:45.620 with alcohol.

00:47:46.300 I don't drink that often.

00:47:47.520 So, when I drink like that, like, it's not positive.

00:47:50.360 And when you do that, the funny part about it is about 25 to 30 minutes in, it gets really

00:47:58.720 hard to talk about politics coherently.

00:48:01.700 And there's slurring, the points you make don't make any sense.

00:48:07.360 And then it just starts getting out of control to the point where, like, you can't have a

00:48:11.300 conversation.

00:48:12.160 You can't even, everyone's just being an idiot and you can't even have a normal conversation.

00:48:16.400 Yeah.

00:48:16.600 And you see that whole arc within one hour.

00:48:19.980 So, they're fun.

00:48:21.020 I can't do them anymore.

00:48:21.960 I'm too old.

00:48:22.720 I've realized.

00:48:23.520 I just, the last couple, I did not feel good after.

00:48:26.360 And so, I have not done one in a while.

00:48:27.920 But, like, I've been on camera in that state.

00:48:33.860 Now, intentionally, you know, it wasn't like I was, you know, trying to throw down a box

00:48:39.860 of wine and then getting on, you know, camera and trying to do things normally.

00:48:44.180 It was part of the show.

00:48:45.800 But, like, it's hard.

00:48:47.120 Like, you get halfway through a thought.

00:48:49.240 You don't know where it's going.

00:48:51.260 You're kind of, like, really trying to almost slow down to be able to.

00:48:56.560 Trying to concentrate harder.

00:48:58.420 Concentrate harder.

00:48:59.260 Pronounce those words.

00:49:00.380 You're over-pronouncing sometimes.

00:49:02.140 You're slurring other times.

00:49:03.680 It's difficult, which is the comedy of it when you're going for comedy.

00:49:07.980 When you're vice president of the United States and wanted to be president and can't get through

00:49:11.980 a statement, it's at least embarrassing.

00:49:14.140 It's not funny.

00:49:15.320 No.

00:49:15.660 It's terrifying when you have this guy as president, too.

00:49:18.260 Wow.

00:49:18.540 Yeah.

00:49:18.940 Man.

00:49:19.980 Play it again and listen very carefully.

00:49:22.620 Now that you know what you're looking for and listening for, watch this again.

00:49:27.600 I just have to remind you.

00:49:30.980 Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.

00:49:33.620 Sure ever.

00:49:34.280 You have the same power that you did before November 5th.

00:49:39.760 Which led to nothing, by the way.

00:49:41.460 And you have the same purpose that you did.

00:49:44.480 And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.

00:49:50.920 So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.

00:49:55.840 Yeah.

00:49:56.440 Never take the power from you.

00:49:58.140 That is Glenn Beck circa 1993, early 94-ish.

00:50:05.540 That's interesting because in not just performance, but also in content.

00:50:09.220 Yes.

00:50:09.820 It's that overly positive nonsense that he says in this series.

00:50:13.280 I love you, man.

00:50:15.620 I love you more than anything on this planet.

00:50:19.420 You have the power.

00:50:21.320 It's that.

00:50:22.040 You've always had it.

00:50:24.240 You, you're more powerful than I am.

00:50:30.860 It's kind of, it really, I will say this though.

00:50:33.920 He never did that on the air.

00:50:37.200 He wouldn't have, you know, he wouldn't have recorded that and then released it.

00:50:41.380 Uh, and he'll release anything.

00:50:44.060 The guy released a video of himself after his hemorrhoid surgery.

00:50:47.760 Right.

00:50:48.220 He'll release almost anything.

00:50:49.780 Right.

00:50:50.420 And he wouldn't have released that.

00:50:52.140 No, he would not have.

00:50:53.020 No.

00:50:53.460 Because that's embarrassing.

00:50:54.680 Right.

00:50:54.960 And we kept, we, I, it was interesting because, and we made this point at the time, Pat, that

00:51:00.880 when we would watch a Joe Biden video and he would butcher it and he'd be, you know,

00:51:07.820 like he looked like he didn't know what he was talking about and he was saying the wrong

00:51:10.520 words and, and he'd release it and you'd be like, good God, what were the other takes

00:51:14.620 like?

00:51:15.280 Yeah.

00:51:15.600 This is the best they could get.

00:51:17.200 It really actually was one of the first things that made me think, this isn't just us making

00:51:21.860 fun of an old guy.

00:51:23.400 There's something wrong here.

00:51:24.920 Mm-hmm.

00:51:25.280 Because if you can't get a taped version of an important address out there that's high

00:51:31.160 quality, you're incapable of doing it.

00:51:33.540 You can always re-record it.

00:51:34.680 You can wait another day.

00:51:35.880 There's a hundred different options.

00:51:37.820 If you can't nail that in that situation, there's usually a really big underlying problem.

00:51:44.260 Either you have a real jerk that's telling you, no, I'm not going to redo it.

00:51:48.720 Just put it out there, which is possible with both of them, frankly.

00:51:52.940 But also it's probably somebody who just incapable of nailing it or even coming close to nailing

00:51:58.380 it.

00:51:59.260 You know, that is a, it's a scary sign for someone who's supposed to be leading a nation,

00:52:03.160 Pat.

00:52:03.600 Mm-hmm.

00:52:03.920 Yeah, so between her and him, those are the two people in the executive branch.

00:52:10.300 That's who we're counting on to lead this country.

00:52:12.720 It's really, it's terrifying.

00:52:15.300 Really.

00:52:16.080 It's, it's, I mean, 25th Amendment time.

00:52:19.460 They should both be 25th Amendmented out of office right now.

00:52:23.180 Uh, it's, it's unbelievable what's going on in the greatest country on the face of the

00:52:29.560 earth.

00:52:29.860 And this is the leadership, incredible, at a critical time, too, by the way, um, when

00:52:37.080 we're on the brink of war.

00:52:38.480 I mean, in Europe, they're gearing up for full-fledged war.

00:52:43.400 Britain and France are talking about whether or not they're going to send troops to Ukraine

00:52:47.020 right now.

00:52:48.240 Are you kidding me?

00:52:50.900 I mean, we are teetering on the precipice, and we've got these two buffoons in charge. 0.95

00:52:56.920 It is, uh, it's, it's really frightening.

00:53:00.640 Wow.

00:53:01.480 Uh, all right.

00:53:02.520 888-727-BECK.

00:53:04.360 More coming up in one minute.

00:53:07.200 All right, there are some people out there who just don't believe in half measures, like,

00:53:11.900 you know, at all.

00:53:12.800 Everything they do, they give 100% of themselves to doing it.

00:53:16.020 Like that Kamala video.

00:53:17.000 You can feel it there.

00:53:18.020 She really gave it her all there.

00:53:20.200 She didn't have that ninth glass of wine before recording it, and that is something

00:53:25.200 you can really give her a lot of credit for.

00:53:27.040 Now, I don't know what Kamala's next gig is going to be. 0.99

00:53:29.580 Real estate agent's a possibility, I would say.

00:53:32.200 I wouldn't, I wouldn't look for her to be featured on realestateagentsitrust.com because,

00:53:38.740 you know, first of all, you can't trust her.

00:53:40.600 We know that.

00:53:41.620 Secondly, she's completely incompetent in everything that she does. 1.00

00:53:44.340 So that's not the type of agent that gets on realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:53:48.020 Glenn started this company over a decade ago, and he saw how difficult it was to actually

00:53:52.520 get a competent person you could really count on.

00:53:55.400 Well, realestateagentsitrust.com now does exist.

00:53:58.260 They've got the best agents, and they can make your experience actually a positive one.

00:54:03.400 Unlike whoever was recording that video with Kamala Harris.

00:54:07.360 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:54:08.860 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:54:09.620 This is a free service to you, by the way, so just take advantage of it.

00:54:12.740 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:54:15.360 10 seconds, station ID.

00:54:16.220 Maybe it's much too early in the game

00:54:32.660 Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same

00:54:39.060 No plans quite yet, actually.

00:54:53.580 888-727-BECK

00:54:55.400 I don't know if it was a direct question to you, Pat.

00:54:57.920 Okay.

00:54:58.440 Oh, I guess I misunderstood.

00:55:00.520 Yeah.

00:55:00.820 All right.

00:55:02.140 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:55:04.000 Where do you stand on the tariff situation right now?

00:55:07.180 There's a lot of talk about tariffs.

00:55:11.540 I kind of stand in the same place the market's standing,

00:55:14.800 which is kind of shoulder shrug.

00:55:18.500 You know, I think Donald Trump really likes tariffs.

00:55:21.120 He's said it many, many times.

00:55:22.460 He is serious about implementing tariffs,

00:55:24.500 but he's also serious about negotiating.

00:55:26.720 And I don't know what this is or where this lands.

00:55:29.240 Whether it's a negotiation tactic or if he's really going to impose

00:55:32.060 massive tariffs like this, right?

00:55:34.140 I mean, look, it would be very destructive to the economy if he hits this.

00:55:38.500 I know people, you know, like tariffs more than they used to on conservative media.

00:55:42.760 That's been a little bit of a change over the past few years.

00:55:45.260 I will say what it is, is a tax.

00:55:48.720 I don't like taxes.

00:55:49.780 I understand the point of these taxes and tariffs, if targeted, often can achieve their goals.

00:55:57.500 I think usually with more negative consequences than the upside would be my assessment of the situation.

00:56:04.700 However, you can utilize them and they can do something.

00:56:10.540 One of the things they will do is raise prices on goods.

00:56:14.620 That is a certainty.

00:56:16.040 They did this with the washing machine example from a few years ago.

00:56:19.980 It's really clear.

00:56:21.020 If you've ever seen the chart of this, you could see the prices of washing machines come down, down, down, down, down.

00:56:25.540 Then they just shoot up 20% and then continue on the same pace.

00:56:28.460 Oh, really?

00:56:28.860 It's as if you just added 20% to the cost of the washing machine, which, by the way, you did.

00:56:33.960 That's how it works.

00:56:35.520 You know, I mean, and so, you know, the American people, if they want this, should recognize, you know,

00:56:42.000 like we've been complaining a lot about inflation and, you know, the left made a lot of dumb arguments and they love, they've always loved tariffs.

00:56:49.820 There's always been a left-wing argument.

00:56:52.400 But, you know, you're going to have some price increases there.

00:56:56.780 That does happen.

00:56:57.860 Now, my guess is, and the reason why I say shoulder shrug, because I really do care about tariffs.

00:57:02.220 But, you know, I don't know.

00:57:04.980 Like, Donald Trump is negotiating right now.

00:57:07.020 He's not even in office yet.

00:57:08.480 Right.

00:57:08.680 None of this, there's no reason to panic over this.

00:57:10.720 Let's see how it plays out and see what he, he wants to get something out of this, something important.

00:57:15.260 Border security.

00:57:16.500 I fully support him in that goal.

00:57:18.340 So, let's see where this goes.

00:57:20.820 Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary was talking about tariffs yesterday, and he had this to say.

00:57:25.860 And I think the real tariff war is not going to be on Mexico or Canada.

00:57:29.940 It's focused on a cheater, a liar, a stealer since 1999 when they came into the WTO.

00:57:36.960 This is a country, not the people, but the leadership, that just doesn't want to play by the rules.

00:57:42.520 And I live it, and my business is every day.

00:57:44.800 I would like to go to DEFCON 1 with China, tariffs 400%, I brought it up. 0.99

00:57:49.760 Yeah.

00:57:49.940 Bring the Supreme Leader to Washington.

00:57:51.820 400%.

00:57:52.220 Or crush his economy until he has riots in the streets for food.

00:57:56.680 Again, we've had strategies to deal with China.

00:57:58.960 No, we haven't.

00:57:59.620 Oh, absolutely, we haven't.

00:58:00.820 Not one administration since 1999 has dealt with them.

00:58:02.880 I thought Trump was going to be tough on China.

00:58:04.940 He had four years to do that.

00:58:05.700 He's going to get tougher on China.

00:58:06.360 I was going to say the TPP.

00:58:07.640 This is time to really put the screws in.

00:58:09.380 So, is 35% tariff enough for China then?

00:58:11.400 Because he says it's going to be 10% higher than Mexico and Canada.

00:58:14.300 No, it's not enough.

00:58:15.340 Okay.

00:58:15.600 What you have to do is target parts of their economy where there's a lot of workers.

00:58:19.620 Just for an example, let's say yoga mats.

00:58:21.600 Let's say we import a million yoga mats a month.

00:58:24.120 All the yoga mat factories, 400% tariffs on yoga mats.

00:58:27.260 They all get unemployed.

00:58:28.660 They go to the streets.

00:58:29.740 They scream at the Supreme Leader, I'm starving.

00:58:31.960 Riots.

00:58:32.800 That's what he wakes up and says, wow, I can't just save my Supreme Leader.

00:58:35.740 He went to the streets and screamed and he got shot.

00:58:37.680 No, no, I do want to ask one thing because for people at home, they're wondering how this works.

00:58:42.240 When this happened last time around, when Trump launched tariffs against China, they retaliated.

00:58:47.400 Were they effective at politically targeting return tariffs?

00:58:51.280 Like, was China able to say, well, then the tariffs on you.

00:58:53.340 No, we had kind of a BS deal where they were going to buy more soybeans.

00:58:56.200 They lied, they cheated, they stole.

00:58:57.660 Okay.

00:58:58.160 Stole.

00:58:59.000 I think we all.

00:58:59.700 Excuse my language.

00:59:01.660 400% tariff on China.

00:59:04.400 That's fascinating.

00:59:05.900 Yes, again.

00:59:06.840 The prices are going up at Walmart if that happens.

00:59:09.000 Oh.

00:59:10.000 Going up just a bit.

00:59:10.780 I mean, look, I think there's a good argument to, the China one is much, to me, much more salient argument.

00:59:18.820 I mean, I think you can just make that for national security concerns, you know, that you really don't want to be doing business with China at all, if it's at all possible. 0.51

00:59:25.740 Especially when, and I argue for this many times, but it's like, especially when you have another country like India, who is generally friendly toward us, who is generally, again, these are general terms, generally friendly towards a free market in comparison to a lot of these other large nations.

00:59:42.580 You need something to push back against another country that's got over a billion people.

00:59:48.080 I would love to just, like, embrace India more.

00:59:51.080 Mm-hmm.

00:59:51.380 And we don't, we haven't been doing all that much of that.

00:59:56.180 But China is an adversary.

01:00:00.200 Not doing business with them makes some sense.

01:00:03.300 You know, Mexico and Canada are, you know, are doing things that we don't like when it comes to the border.

01:00:10.140 And that's what I think Trump is doing here.

01:00:11.740 He's got to put some, look, the guy likes tariffs.

01:00:13.540 He's got to put tariffs on.

01:00:14.480 I don't think he's going to put 25% on all Canadian and Mexican goods.

01:00:17.420 I'd be surprised by that.

01:00:18.800 You think that's where this ends up, Pat?

01:00:19.860 No, I hope not.

01:00:21.360 I hope not, because prices will go up.

01:00:23.840 They just will.

01:00:26.000 I just find it fascinating that Xi Jinping was just talking about what a free trade guy he is last week.

01:00:34.260 He's a free, wait, you're a free trade guy?

01:00:37.680 81% of the goods imported from the United States have tariffs assessed to them in China.

01:00:45.500 That's why we don't do as well in China as we do in other places, because they cost too much to the Chinese people. 1.00

01:00:55.060 When they assess the tariff on our goods that we export to them, they become too expensive for the Chinese people to buy.

01:01:02.980 Well, okay, so the reverse is obviously going to be true if we do the same thing back to them.

01:01:08.920 Or will it work that they stop tariffs on American goods so that we stop the tariffs on Chinese goods?

01:01:17.760 I mean, I guess that's the theory behind assessing these tariffs.

01:01:23.020 Yeah, and usually what happens is there's a threat of tariffs, there's a negotiation, both sides declare victory, not that much changes.

01:01:30.240 That's typically what happens in these things.

01:01:32.500 And I don't know, that might happen again.

01:01:33.940 I think you can make the argument with China that it's just a bad thing for us to be doing business with them, considering they seem to wish us dead often.

01:01:43.680 So whether it is good for the economy or not.

01:01:47.460 Generally?

01:01:48.140 It's bad when they want us to be dead?

01:01:51.400 Generally.

01:01:51.800 Generally.

01:01:52.080 Okay.

01:01:53.040 So you can make the argument that we shouldn't do business with them.

01:01:55.940 And if the mechanism to do that is a tariff that may wind up hurting our economy, there are, at times, reasons to make those decisions, right?

01:02:06.600 And you say, okay, well, I don't want to do business with them anymore.

01:02:09.080 And it's going to hurt our economy.

01:02:10.560 We're going to have to go through that pain.

01:02:12.840 You can argue it to be made for that.

01:02:14.840 I don't know if there's a great argument to be made for Mexico and Canada, though.

01:02:18.480 You know, but hey, you know, we will see.

01:02:23.500 I think at the end of the day, Donald Trump is not going to want to sink the economy and make the markets go crazy negative for his first two years in office.

01:02:33.200 Yeah.

01:02:33.380 So he'll find a way to do this.

01:02:35.300 This is what he does well.

01:02:36.180 This is his business.

01:02:37.080 This is negotiating.

01:02:38.180 Glenn Beck.

01:02:39.320 Let me tell you about Police Sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald of the Temple University Police Department in Philadelphia.

01:02:47.460 Tragically, Christopher was fatally shot when attempting to arrest a robbery suspect, and he left behind a wife and five children.

01:02:55.300 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in, and thanks to the generosity of donors just like you, they were able to provide Christopher's surviving family members a mortgage-free home.

01:03:04.180 Nothing can bring him back, of course, but removing some of the financial stress from their lives in helping is, I mean, it's, helping them with that home, it's a big, big deal.

01:03:15.420 Christopher will be remembered by many for his passion and the determination with which he made his own name in life.

01:03:21.820 While improving conditions for people in his community and Temple University stakeholders, the foundation is doing so much good, but it needs help.

01:03:28.860 More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes to its programs.

01:03:33.980 It's heroes like Christopher, who protect and serve our communities and our nation.

01:03:38.080 Help heroes like Christopher and their families donate just 11 bucks a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

01:03:44.420 It's T, the number two, T, dot org.

01:04:29.480 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

01:04:34.040 Yeah.

01:04:35.540 Hey.

01:04:37.200 By the way, did you know we were mentioning Kamala Harris and her drunkenness recently?

01:04:42.060 Yeah.

01:04:43.160 That's the only way you could blow through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks.

01:04:47.260 Yeah.

01:04:48.120 Oof.

01:04:48.440 If you're spending 100 mil a week, I mean, you're probably at least somewhat buzzed.

01:04:53.300 You would think so, yeah.

01:04:54.960 Right?

01:04:55.400 Yeah.

01:04:55.860 Especially for what she got.

01:04:57.460 Yeah.

01:04:57.580 There was a big Democrat donor.

01:04:59.080 I can't think of his name right now.

01:05:00.540 I don't have the story right in front of me.

01:05:02.460 But he was, I mean, tens of millions of dollars in donations.

01:05:06.060 And he's given hundreds of millions over the years.

01:05:08.380 And he said that because Kamala Harris blew through that kind of money in 100 days and lost, that should disqualify her from any office ever again.

01:05:22.100 I think that's a really good point.

01:05:23.660 If you can't win after spending $1.5 billion, then, yeah, we don't want to hear from you anymore.

01:05:32.520 Really?

01:05:32.980 Bye-bye.

01:05:33.640 And you're going to stand by that?

01:05:34.880 Yeah, I wouldn't stand by that.

01:05:36.000 I'd go out on that really shaky limb and just stand there for a while.

01:05:42.440 See what happens.

01:05:43.540 One of the things I love about it is she spent and ran a campaign the exact way she would have governed.

01:05:52.280 Right.

01:05:52.920 She would have wasted your money. 1.00

01:05:54.680 She would have lit it on fire. 0.98

01:05:55.980 You would have gotten nothing out of it.

01:05:58.240 That's how she would have been as president of the United States.

01:06:01.240 She previewed it for you in 10 weeks.

01:06:03.160 Man, this is not the truth.

01:06:06.280 Some incredible stats on this.

01:06:09.340 The biggest expense during the race was advertising.

01:06:11.940 She spent $494 million on advertising.

01:06:15.080 Okay.

01:06:15.640 The total sum is, including Biden's period as the nominee, closer to $600 million.

01:06:23.940 $2.5 million directed towards three digital agencies that work with online influencers.

01:06:30.040 How much was that?

01:06:30.700 $2.5 million.

01:06:31.820 Okay.

01:06:32.240 Campaign spent around $900,000 to book advertising on the exterior of the sphere in Las Vegas.

01:06:39.960 Yeah, I saw that ad.

01:06:41.360 That was interesting.

01:06:42.300 Did that win any votes?

01:06:43.400 Geez.

01:06:43.600 No, she didn't win Nevada. 0.99

01:06:44.320 Apparently not.

01:06:44.920 Apparently not.

01:06:45.980 There were drone shows in the sky before the debate in Philadelphia.

01:06:49.780 Yeah.

01:06:49.980 And at a Pittsburgh Steelers game in October.

01:06:52.160 Right.

01:06:53.120 The campaign spending decisions were documented in federal election commission records and

01:06:58.060 interviews with 15 Harris campaign officials.

01:07:00.800 This is a New York Times quote, by the way.

01:07:03.260 Many of the financial figures in the article are from the latest campaign reports.

01:07:07.160 It's all told, Biden and Harris campaigns collectively raised about $2.15 billion.

01:07:15.380 That's incredible.

01:07:17.100 That's incredible.

01:07:17.760 Absolutely incredible.

01:07:19.540 Yeah.

01:07:19.700 The Oprah thing made news, right?

01:07:22.460 Right.

01:07:22.880 One particular Harris payment has drawn attention.

01:07:25.780 $1 million paid to Oprah Winfrey's production film.

01:07:28.320 What they're saying lately is that it was $2 million.

01:07:30.140 $2 million.

01:07:31.300 And an Instagram post, Ms. Winfrey said the company was paid to stage a live streamed town

01:07:36.560 hall in Detroit, providing the sets, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and even

01:07:42.100 the chairs.

01:07:42.980 $1 million actually undercounts the full cost of the event, which ran closer to $2.5 million,

01:07:48.280 according to people briefed on the matter.

01:07:49.800 What's interesting about that in particular is their first excuse was actually true, which

01:07:55.780 is she charged them a million dollars for this event. 1.00

01:08:00.640 And if you put an event on like this, it's going to cost money, right?

01:08:08.340 And if you're the producer of the event, she would have spent this for another company,

01:08:12.400 for example.

01:08:13.040 No one would have made a note of this if she just spent a million dollars on a production 0.98

01:08:17.120 company for a couple of events.

01:08:19.620 It went to Oprah, so it was a big deal.

01:08:21.280 So what Oprah said correctly was, hey, well, campaign finance law requires us to charge real

01:08:29.620 market value.

01:08:30.640 That's true.

01:08:31.780 Because like if, you know, if you wanted to give away, you wanted to help a campaign,

01:08:38.820 you could say, well, just use my stadium for free.

01:08:43.360 And that would be instead an in-kind donation.

01:08:46.600 And you can't do that.

01:08:47.740 Like if you are, or if you own a stadium, you're like, oh, just use mine.

01:08:50.880 Normally I'd charge a million dollars.

01:08:52.260 You take it for free.

01:08:53.040 Well, that's like donating a million dollars, right?

01:08:55.640 That's the way campaign finance reform or campaign finance law works as regards to these

01:09:00.460 payments.

01:09:00.760 So that's actually a legitimate excuse.

01:09:02.340 She has to charge market value. 0.99

01:09:03.800 The problem with now on their secondary excuse, when they're saying, well, actually, we only

01:09:08.900 charged her a million and it really costs us 2.15.

01:09:12.700 Well, now you're breaking that campaign finance law.

01:09:15.680 Right.

01:09:16.200 You're now admitting that you gave a $1 million donation to the Kamala Harris campaign.

01:09:20.980 So in your efforts to win the PR war, you're actually hurting yourself potentially in a court.

01:09:28.100 Now, will they actually go after her for this? 0.87

01:09:30.380 I doubt it.

01:09:31.040 No, they won't.

01:09:32.180 They won't.

01:09:32.920 But in addition to all the money, look at the endorsement situation too.

01:09:39.640 I mean, she had the combined efforts of Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Oprah, as we've mentioned, Eminem, Katy Perry, Will Ferrell, Harrison Ford, J.J. Abrams.

01:09:57.060 I mean, nearly every single celebrity you've ever heard of was on her side and endorsed her.

01:10:04.680 And yet, what did it mean?

01:10:08.400 Well, we had Scott.

01:10:08.760 Did that sway anybody?

01:10:09.840 We had Scott Baio.

01:10:11.400 Right.

01:10:12.240 Okay.

01:10:12.540 I think there was, yes, Scott Baio and.

01:10:17.220 I mean, we had Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan.

01:10:19.240 Okay.

01:10:19.640 Hulk Hogan.

01:10:20.320 There you go.

01:10:20.800 He did tear his shirt off at the Republican convention.

01:10:24.600 So that was huge.

01:10:25.900 It's worth a few thousand votes in Michigan.

01:10:27.980 Uh-huh.

01:10:30.000 Dana White.

01:10:30.960 Dana White.

01:10:31.400 Mm-hmm.

01:10:32.560 Look, I, I, the question is no longer do celebrities help campaigns.

01:10:38.580 The question now is do they hurt or do nothing?

01:10:41.800 Yeah.

01:10:42.080 I think those are the only two options.

01:10:43.980 Yeah.

01:10:44.580 If you're a Democrat and you're trotting these people out, I mean, Taylor Swift is like very

01:10:48.740 successful in music, but she's an ofer.

01:10:51.760 She is the one person I thought maybe, maybe she'd sway some really young voters. 1.00

01:10:56.840 I don't know.

01:10:57.720 She's a giant zilch when it comes to endorsements.

01:10:59.740 But yeah, she didn't, she didn't move the needle at all. 0.94

01:11:02.620 Yeah.

01:11:03.460 She didn't move the needle at all.

01:11:04.240 She couldn't even do it in a, in a Senate race in her home state.

01:11:07.520 Right.

01:11:08.360 So.

01:11:08.920 Right.

01:11:09.180 That's awesome.

01:11:09.920 I think that's good.

01:11:10.720 That's awesome.

01:11:11.560 Uh, by the way, uh, part of the spending spree was a bunch of these celebrities.

01:11:15.400 A pricey choice holding swing state rallies featuring star performers on the eve of the

01:11:19.060 election, including Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, John Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera

01:11:24.440 in Nevada, James Taylor, something doesn't fit here in North Carolina and Katy Perry in 0.85

01:11:30.560 Pittsburgh.

01:11:31.420 The singers themselves were not compensated, officials said, but the support staff was.

01:11:35.820 The overall bill for the election eve rallies exceeded the planned budget and is, uh, is

01:11:40.780 said to have topped 10 million.

01:11:42.180 I love this detail though, uh, Pat, the cost overruns were partly because the Harris team

01:11:47.980 built an entire rally venue at a park in Pittsburgh only to be told by the secret service that the

01:11:55.260 site could not be properly secured.

01:11:57.080 They had to rush to take it down and rebuild a second venue.

01:12:01.780 Oh my gosh.

01:12:02.740 Now there's lots of venues out there, Pat.

01:12:04.920 Wow.

01:12:05.400 You could just use an existing venue and plan for it, but no, they tried to build one from

01:12:08.980 scratch, screwed it up and then had to rebuild it again.

01:12:12.620 She ran as she would have governed.

01:12:14.780 Yeah.

01:12:15.560 Yeah.

01:12:15.980 So they're claiming that they didn't pay any, cause the big rumor was that they paid Beyonce

01:12:20.500 10 million dollars.

01:12:21.600 They're saying that's not true.

01:12:22.620 That's not true.

01:12:23.560 Hmm.

01:12:23.900 All right.

01:12:25.320 Uh, it still didn't work.

01:12:26.660 No.

01:12:27.220 Whether they paid her 10 million dollars or zero, it didn't work.

01:12:31.740 Her endorsement went nowhere.

01:12:33.240 Uh, just like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga and Oprah, nobody cared.

01:12:38.500 And it's important to note, it wasn't just lavish spending on nonsense.

01:12:42.780 It was also bribes and MSNBC has now acknowledged this, but, uh, some media allies of Ms. Harris 1.00

01:12:50.380 were also, uh, paid.

01:12:52.060 Areva Martin, who hosts a talk show, was paid $200,000 as a media consultant as she went on 0.99

01:12:58.040 Battleground State tour in October.

01:12:59.300 Roland Martin, who hosts his own streaming program and runs a media company called New

01:13:02.840 Vision Media, received $350,000 in September for a media buy that he said was for advertising.

01:13:10.520 Ms. Harris' campaign also made two $250,000 donations to the National Action Network, the 0.91

01:13:18.340 organization led by Reverend Al Sharpton.

01:13:21.560 Uh, now these, of course, were in advance of an interview Al Sharpton did as part of his

01:13:29.100 programming on MSNBC.

01:13:31.500 MSNBC now is admitting that and saying that that was not a good idea.

01:13:35.500 It's, it's unclear whether he's going to get punished for this.

01:13:38.280 Wow.

01:13:38.720 Now, normally when Al Sharpton gets punished, there's a bunch of people in front of your

01:13:42.260 building screaming that you should be fired.

01:13:44.460 So normally he doesn't get punished for things like this.

01:13:47.320 However, MSNBC in the past has, uh, punished Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough for making

01:13:52.960 donations when they weren't supposed to as, uh, uh, personalities.

01:13:56.620 But I mean, and now no one's going to say that Kamala Harris would have had a difficult

01:14:00.920 interview if she did not donate, but like, you're not supposed to be bribing the hosts

01:14:05.680 pre-interview.

01:14:08.000 Just incredible.

01:14:09.160 It's Kamala Harris, right?

01:14:10.120 Yeah.

01:14:10.420 We should also note that Oprah, who also got paid at this million dollars that we talked

01:14:14.000 about, also did an interview with her.

01:14:16.460 Also a softball interview.

01:14:17.760 A softball interview.

01:14:19.400 So, yeah.

01:14:20.420 I mean.

01:14:21.520 It's fascinating.

01:14:22.280 Would you say, Pat, because they really did change, uh, tactics late in the campaign

01:14:27.520 and say, okay, now we got to do a bunch of interviews.

01:14:29.460 They all went badly.

01:14:30.880 One of which on The View, a very friendly environment, led to, I think, the biggest moment

01:14:35.460 of the entire campaign when, when she was asked.

01:14:37.720 It was impactful.

01:14:38.560 What would you change that Joe Biden did?

01:14:40.580 She said, I can't think of anything.

01:14:42.040 Yeah.

01:14:42.340 From a, and Sonny Hostin just talked about this, uh, in the aftermath.

01:14:47.040 She thought she was lobbing her us off. 1.00

01:14:50.040 She admits.

01:14:50.860 Admits.

01:14:51.380 She thought it was a softball question.

01:14:53.460 Everyone knows.

01:14:53.860 And it was.

01:14:54.820 Everyone knows it's coming.

01:14:56.020 Yeah.

01:14:56.340 Here's a chance in a friendly environment where we're all just shake our heads yes.

01:14:59.780 Hit this out of the park.

01:15:01.100 Here it is.

01:15:01.200 What would you change?

01:15:02.100 Because obviously some things are bad for people.

01:15:04.500 Mm-hmm.

01:15:04.800 You haven't even thought of this?

01:15:06.640 Yeah.

01:15:07.000 I mean, seriously.

01:15:07.620 It was like she hadn't even thought of it before.

01:15:10.180 Because she couldn't think of a thing.

01:15:11.320 And I really do think the reality of the situation is everyone else who was interviewing her on

01:15:17.500 the left were in on the game.

01:15:19.580 They knew, don't ask her any tough questions, lead her exactly into the talking points, give

01:15:24.420 her the excuse in the question.

01:15:26.540 You know what I mean?

01:15:27.020 Like, uh, um, you know how the border situation, people are saying this is out of control.

01:15:32.940 Now I know you guys have done, had incredible progress on this.

01:15:37.260 Right.

01:15:37.560 And Donald Trump, uh, you know, was hurting all of these families.

01:15:42.860 What is this truth about the border?

01:15:44.780 Right?

01:15:45.040 Give her the answer in the question.

01:15:46.620 You saw that with, uh, Stephanie Rule on MSNBC.

01:15:50.120 Uh, all these people on the left who were, were all in on this game.

01:15:54.240 We're going to keep her out of the media this entire time. 0.97

01:15:56.640 When we roll her out to the media, we're going to bring her to friendly sources that all 0.97

01:16:00.220 understand she can't do this.

01:16:02.080 They all understand in reality she's a moron and will never be able to answer a tough

01:16:07.240 question.

01:16:07.700 So give her all the answers, make this as easy as possible.

01:16:10.620 The problem is the people on the view are too dumb.

01:16:14.540 They're too dumb to know that was the game.

01:16:18.100 They believe their own nonsense from social media.

01:16:22.060 Oh, she's actually brilliant.

01:16:23.300 Oh, she's actually amazing. 0.99

01:16:24.960 They brought her on thinking they could have a normal conversation with her and blew up her

01:16:29.680 campaign and got Hitler elected. 0.79

01:16:31.660 I love it.

01:16:32.700 That's the best.

01:16:33.780 I love that.

01:16:35.540 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

01:16:38.580 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:16:52.860 You know, hindsight is always 20, 20.

01:16:56.940 And that is especially true with investing.

01:16:59.240 Oh, almost 30 years ago.

01:17:00.380 Now I bought my first gold with Lear Capital and that investment has quadrupled.

01:17:04.960 Now I wish I really would have spent some more on that and not listen to all the naysayers.

01:17:09.240 You know, I'm all about education and that's why I choose Lear.

01:17:12.120 They have a new report on the U.S. debt, de-dollarization and gold.

01:17:16.120 It was written to help you make intelligent decisions on how to protect and grow your wealth.

01:17:20.400 There's even a section on how to protect your IRA and 401k.

01:17:23.900 After reading this report, I urge you to buy gold.

01:17:27.020 Call Lear.

01:17:27.660 And if you already own gold or silver, you might want to consider getting some more or consider gold for the first time.

01:17:33.580 Lear is the company that I trust to help you secure the one hard asset that has stood the test of time.

01:17:38.320 Get started.

01:17:46.000 It's worth the call.

01:18:05.760 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:18:09.060 Let's go to Laura in Maine.

01:18:12.260 Hey, Laura, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

01:18:16.440 Hello.

01:18:17.240 I'd like to talk about the tariffs that you were discussing.

01:18:21.380 Sure.

01:18:22.680 I retired from customs.

01:18:24.600 I started on the southwest border.

01:18:26.400 And then I went into trade when I went up to Houston.

01:18:30.040 And I have a question for you all.

01:18:33.520 Okay.

01:18:34.000 The War of 1812.

01:18:36.360 Yeah.

01:18:36.960 Yeah.

01:18:37.120 Well, it's a short question, but is there more to it than that?

01:18:42.680 What funded the War of 1812?

01:18:45.920 Aliens.

01:18:46.520 They came down from outer space with space dollars.

01:18:49.720 And we all know the tariffs were a huge part of our economy back in the 1800s.

01:18:54.020 Well, then, yes.

01:18:54.460 That was before income tax.

01:18:56.400 Yes.

01:18:56.720 Right.

01:18:57.240 And what funded the Louisiana Purchase?

01:18:59.900 Well, I think you think you have a better point than you do here.

01:19:05.280 One of the issues with it, and we, by the way, talked about this at length when Trump was talking about his tariff policy, which is if it's combined with eliminating the income tax and shrinking the government by 60 and 70 percent, there's a lot you can do positively with tariffs.

01:19:20.020 Unfortunately, what we're seeing here is the possibility of these things coming in with the current structure.

01:19:25.540 That's sort of the issue.

01:19:26.840 So you don't want the tariffs and the income tax.

01:19:29.780 That was a good try, though.

01:19:30.860 Yeah.

01:19:31.040 I think, you know, on a Thanksgiving week, it was a good try.

01:19:34.300 It was a good try.

01:19:34.980 Hi.

01:19:35.580 Who's up next?

01:19:36.560 We've got Jim in Iowa.

01:19:38.500 Hey, Jim.

01:19:38.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:41.840 Yeah.

01:19:42.140 You know, I was watching Mark Levin's or listening to Mark Levin last night, and Pam Bonney was on there talking about revoking the visas of foreign students that were out protesting for Hamas.

01:19:55.360 And I'd like to see him take that one step further and take all the American students that were out protesting for Hamas and put them on the terror watch list and, more importantly, put them on the no-fly list. 0.54

01:20:10.660 Yeah.

01:20:11.040 You'd think, like, when you support an international terrorist group, that there'd be a little more attention than just – because what we've really had here is it's mean for them to lose their jobs.

01:20:22.060 It's mean for an employer to see them at a pro-Hamas rally and be upset about that and no longer want them employed.

01:20:29.520 It's mean to have their names or pictures put out there because it could hurt them in the future when, you know, the real pain seems to come from, like, October 7th-style attacks done by the people they're supporting.

01:20:41.560 Yeah.

01:20:42.380 Yeah.

01:20:43.860 And none of that's going to happen.

01:20:45.420 Again, they won't be on a terror list or a no-fly list or any kind of list because we don't function that way.

01:20:54.080 But, you know, there's a case to be made.

01:20:57.680 It's pretty despicable what they've been doing on these college campuses in support of Hamas over our ally Israel.

01:21:05.880 It doesn't make any sense, but it'd be nice if these kids were actually taught things in school.

01:21:12.800 Really?

01:21:13.200 Yeah.

01:21:13.600 You're like, how did any of this stuff in the Middle East develop?

01:21:19.380 Where did Israel come from?

01:21:22.300 Was a Palestinian state ever instituted?

01:21:29.840 Was it ever suggested?

01:21:31.280 Maybe you should look into all those things and understand what's going on there.

01:21:35.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:36.440 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:01.280 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:27.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:31.280 With Pat and Stu.

01:22:34.200 888-727-BECK.

01:22:38.900 Lots going on with border enforcement.

01:22:41.400 Tom Homan has been out discussing his policy on border issues.

01:22:47.800 And, man, I like this guy.

01:22:49.780 He is just no nonsense.

01:22:51.140 We'll get to some of what he had to say.

01:22:52.780 Coming up in 60 seconds.

01:22:56.820 It's time to take your firearms training to the next level with Mantis X.

01:23:00.360 If you're not a gun owner, you really should be, of course.

01:23:03.520 If you are, you know that keeping up with your firearms training is an important responsibility.

01:23:08.360 So you go to the range when you can.

01:23:10.160 You practice when you can.

01:23:11.820 And, of course, you cry when you see the cost of ammunition that you're using.

01:23:15.460 It's kind of a lot.

01:23:16.520 But with Mantis X, you can be improving your shot whether you're firing live ammunition or just dry firing.

01:23:22.020 And that means you can honestly just practice at home.

01:23:25.100 It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military.

01:23:28.540 It helps you improve your shooting quickly.

01:23:30.980 Just attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app.

01:23:33.300 Pat's ranting in the room right now.

01:23:38.200 94% of shooters will improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.

01:23:41.780 You just got to connect it to your firearm.

01:23:44.400 And you will use the app on your smartphone or on your tablet via Bluetooth.

01:23:48.620 It's a great, great way to improve your skill.

01:23:52.760 Be a responsible gun owner and increase your confidence and your confidence today with Mantis X.

01:23:57.880 Get yours at mantisx.com.

01:23:59.660 It's mantisx.com.

01:24:06.960 It's Pat and Stu.

01:24:08.700 And we have a border czar now.

01:24:12.620 I don't know what the actual title is because we don't actually have czars in this country.

01:24:18.180 So I'm not sure what his actual title is.

01:24:20.880 But it's apparently outside the cabinet, right?

01:24:23.500 Right.

01:24:23.960 It's not really an official job.

01:24:25.000 He's not someone who's going to have to be confirmed.

01:24:27.100 Right.

01:24:27.280 It's someone who's going to be – he's going to have to work within the existing structure to get the things he wants done.

01:24:34.360 But that can be a powerful position.

01:24:37.160 The Doge thing is the same way.

01:24:38.860 Like it's not even really a thing.

01:24:40.440 Right.

01:24:40.580 It's just like, okay, well –

01:24:42.100 It's an advisory sort of council or department.

01:24:45.380 Yeah.

01:24:45.580 Border czar – like when we say Kamala was appointed border czar, I mean that's not an official position.

01:24:50.200 Of course not.

01:24:50.680 She was given the responsibility as vice president to do that.

01:24:53.660 Which she failed miserably at.

01:24:55.780 Very badly.

01:24:56.400 I don't think Tom Homan is going to.

01:24:58.480 No.

01:24:58.580 Man, he doesn't take a bunch of nonsense.

01:25:00.480 And he's out talking to people about some of the plans.

01:25:03.580 And mass deportation is one of the things.

01:25:06.440 And Casey Hunt was just all excited about what he was saying on CNN.

01:25:12.340 And so she had some things – she had some things to say about border czar Tom Homan.

01:25:19.580 Be clear.

01:25:20.440 Here's what he –

01:25:20.980 There is going to be a mass deportation because we just finished a mass illegal immigration crisis on the border.

01:25:28.460 It's a felony to annoyingly harbor and conceal illegal immigration authorities.

01:25:32.780 Don't test us.

01:25:34.580 So she responds.

01:25:35.720 President-elect Donald Trump's new border czar Tom Homan laying out his day one plans for the new administration.

01:25:41.100 Homan traveled to Texas on Tuesday, meeting with Governor Greg Abbott and delivering a message to Texas National Guard members.

01:25:48.060 Texas government leaders are moving to get more aggressive on immigration.

01:25:51.800 In recent days, they have ordered more barrier buoys onto the Rio Grande River, like the ones seen last year.

01:25:57.460 The Biden administration had sued to get those barriers removed.

01:26:00.840 Not every local leader is signing up for the promises of cracking down on migrants.

01:26:05.520 Denver's mayor says his city would resist extreme measures, drawing the ire of Tom Homan this week.

01:26:11.100 If they want to focus on violent criminals, we would be happy to help support pursuing, arresting, and deporting them.

01:26:19.100 If they are going to send the U.S. Army or the Navy SEALs into Denver to pursue folks to pull them off the job at hotels or restaurants where they're working or pull kids off the soccer field,

01:26:28.580 I think we will see Denverites and folks around the country who will non-violently resist that.

01:26:33.800 You remember when Tom Homan and Donald Trump suggested Navy SEALs would be sent into Denver to remove kids from soccer fields?

01:26:42.700 Remember that? You remember that promise?

01:26:45.280 I think SEAL Team 6 specifically.

01:26:48.380 Really?

01:26:48.800 Yeah, I think that's the one set aside to get the kids off the soccer fields.

01:26:52.420 I think that was the main thrust of his border policy.

01:26:57.220 I don't remember that.

01:26:58.480 You don't remember? Really?

01:26:59.700 Was it specifically tied only to soccer?

01:27:02.060 It was only soccer.

01:27:04.120 Yeah, they weren't going to worry about lacrosse.

01:27:06.220 Oh, really?

01:27:06.800 Or football or basketball.

01:27:08.620 Just soccer.

01:27:10.100 That makes sense.

01:27:11.000 And it was specifically Navy SEALs because only they could find the illegal kids on the soccer fields and remove them quickly.

01:27:18.580 It seems like an inefficient use of SEAL Team 6.

01:27:22.580 Yeah, normally you'd be sending them into the Middle East to take care of terrorists.

01:27:26.520 Right.

01:27:27.180 But this time they were just like, what about soccer fields?

01:27:30.140 Yeah.

01:27:30.660 And what do we send special forces to remove kids from soccer fields?

01:27:35.060 What about that?

01:27:35.920 I mean, this is so stupid.

01:27:37.740 The argument is so nonsensical.

01:27:40.220 Yeah.

01:27:40.400 It's hard to believe.

01:27:41.880 Really?

01:27:42.440 That's what you're going to?

01:27:43.080 Yeah.

01:27:44.640 Man.

01:27:45.080 Well, it's funny because-

01:27:45.840 You're the mayor of a major city and that's your thing?

01:27:48.580 But this is common, I feel like, in elections these days.

01:27:52.220 Yeah.

01:27:53.560 Call it the Cameron Diaz principle, which is she did this back in 2004 before the election and went on Oprah Winfrey and said, if George Bush is re-elected, rape will be legal. 0.98

01:28:05.240 Oh, my gosh.

01:28:06.220 And it's like there's just these fantasies.

01:28:07.580 Oh, my gosh.

01:28:08.300 These weird dystopian fantasies that exist in the mind of the left.

01:28:12.120 Yeah.

01:28:12.580 That if they lose an election, these things will happen.

01:28:16.060 And they never do.

01:28:17.680 Right.

01:28:17.800 Like, my understanding, rape is still illegal.

01:28:20.680 Am I correct on that, Pat?

01:28:21.980 I think you are.

01:28:22.840 Yes.

01:28:23.140 Okay.

01:28:23.580 In most of the 50 states.

01:28:25.220 Really?

01:28:25.720 Yeah.

01:28:26.200 Probably not in like those red states.

01:28:28.080 No, probably not.

01:28:28.880 No.

01:28:29.200 I mean, probably not in like Texas.

01:28:30.940 No, no.

01:28:31.280 It's okay there.

01:28:32.260 Mayor, we agree on one thing.

01:28:34.180 He's willing to go to jail.

01:28:35.460 Respond.

01:28:35.820 I'm willing to put him in jail.

01:28:37.340 I love that, though.

01:28:39.220 He doesn't care what these buffoons are saying. 0.94

01:28:41.640 He just, he doesn't care.

01:28:43.940 But Casey Hunt's reaction to this is amazing.

01:28:47.680 Oof.

01:28:48.700 Mike Dubkey, I mean, look, it's very clear.

01:28:52.120 The country is very unhappy with the way immigration has been playing out. 0.56

01:28:56.500 Yeah.

01:28:56.740 They're concerned about the security at the border.

01:28:58.440 Where do you think the Trump administration and how can they stay or can they stay with

01:29:06.380 Americans on that without, I mean, some of the measures they're talking about, I mean,

01:29:10.280 that language of like, if you harbor somebody, we will find you, you know, if the Denver mayor

01:29:15.200 wants to go to jail.

01:29:16.240 I mean, that has some significant and more extreme echoes than some of what we heard from

01:29:21.220 the Trump campaign on the trail.

01:29:22.520 There are several stages to kind of arresting, and I should choose a different word, but

01:29:30.900 arresting immigration at the border.

01:29:33.780 One of which that worked incredibly well in the early days of the first Trump administration

01:29:38.080 was the rhetoric.

01:29:39.300 And this is going to be my theme, I think, for today, was the rhetoric around the border.

01:29:43.280 So Tom Hulman's very strong language is going to restrict and impede the number of people

01:29:51.180 that are actually flooding the border.

01:29:52.340 You're saying it's going to discourage people from trying to come.

01:29:53.960 Totally discourage that.

01:29:55.380 And it's already started to.

01:29:56.940 It's already started to work.

01:29:59.240 Because in some of the caravans that were massing and heading toward the border, once Trump was

01:30:05.280 elected, many of them, thousands of them, turned around and went back home.

01:30:08.960 Because they know they're not going to be welcomed here with open arms by the Trump administration.

01:30:13.280 And so some of them are going to try to sneak in real quick before he's inaugurated, but

01:30:17.740 others realized the futility of it.

01:30:20.460 I mean, the rhetoric helps.

01:30:22.840 It does.

01:30:23.380 It just makes a difference.

01:30:25.980 When you're sending the message to Mexico, Central, and South America, and all over the

01:30:31.500 world that, yeah, we'll tolerate it.

01:30:33.600 We'll tolerate illegal aliens flooding across our border. 1.00

01:30:36.920 We're not going to do that much.

01:30:38.280 And if you just want to step across the border and say, asylum, we'll keep you here. 1.00

01:30:42.780 And, you know, maybe you'll show up for a court appearance in 2035, but don't worry about

01:30:49.000 it.

01:30:49.640 I mean, that has one effect.

01:30:51.140 That has the effect of people deciding to come here illegally.

01:30:56.840 The opposite of that is also true.

01:30:59.660 When you talk tough about the border and that we're not going to tolerate it.

01:31:03.680 And if you want to come to America, we welcome you.

01:31:06.780 If you do it legally, that has the opposite effect of the border being deluged with the

01:31:13.020 illegals coming across it.

01:31:14.820 Yeah.

01:31:15.340 Works every time.

01:31:16.940 Every single time.

01:31:17.720 Everyone knows this, right?

01:31:18.620 Yes.

01:31:18.860 If you are a, if we say, hey, Pat, let's have a bunch of friends over.

01:31:25.960 And you know what?

01:31:27.160 I don't want Glenn there.

01:31:29.200 I don't want him there.

01:31:30.740 And we say it on the air over and over again.

01:31:32.920 Yeah.

01:31:33.160 And we tell all of our friends, you know what?

01:31:35.220 Just don't invite Glenn.

01:31:36.480 Don't let him know that we're having this party.

01:31:39.000 Mm-hmm.

01:31:40.180 He's probably, now Glenn might not be the best example of this, but he's probably going to

01:31:43.720 get the hint that he's not welcome at the party and probably not come.

01:31:47.760 Yeah.

01:31:48.380 That is, you can't, it's not a long-term solution.

01:31:53.180 I will say, like, what it is, is it's a partial short-term solution.

01:31:57.780 Just tone can solve 25%, 50% of this over a year.

01:32:03.460 Yeah, maybe.

01:32:03.980 You know?

01:32:04.480 I mean, I don't know that it's, because if you don't back it up with action, and this

01:32:08.760 kind of happened in the first Trump administration, right?

01:32:11.040 He came out with the tone.

01:32:11.940 They basically completely knocked down the numbers on illegal immigration.

01:32:16.500 And because, you know, he didn't have the numbers he needed in Congress to get a lot

01:32:20.380 of the stuff he wanted done, eventually they were like, okay, well, seems like we can still

01:32:25.520 get in there.

01:32:25.920 There's sanctuary cities, you know, I don't know what else is going on.

01:32:30.540 So we can probably make it.

01:32:33.680 And toward the end, those numbers started to pop up a little bit.

01:32:36.700 Tone doesn't solve it forever.

01:32:38.020 But if you just say, hey, we don't want this to occur, you're not going to be rewarded

01:32:42.400 with this.

01:32:42.880 It's not going to be a slap on the wrist.

01:32:44.460 You're not going to get away with it.

01:32:45.640 We're not going to release you into the country and let you live here for five years. 0.97

01:32:49.700 If you just tell them that, generally speaking, it will improve the situation dramatically.

01:32:55.260 Yeah.

01:32:55.580 And eventually, we're going to have to build the wall.

01:32:57.500 Yep.

01:32:57.680 And we're going to have to increase border agents at the border.

01:33:01.800 And we're going to have to do a lot of different things in order to really get a handle on the

01:33:05.780 problem.

01:33:06.900 But the rhetoric is a good start.

01:33:09.100 It really is.

01:33:10.400 It sends the signal that we're not playing this game anymore.

01:33:15.060 And then the wall will show them that, yep, they're not playing that game anymore.

01:33:19.860 They built the wall.

01:33:20.780 Well, I, you know, we only built, I don't know, I think it was two or four percent of

01:33:26.760 brand new wall.

01:33:27.700 I mean, we repaired sections of the fence and the wall.

01:33:31.680 Right.

01:33:32.100 But for new construction of wall along the border, I think it was four percent.

01:33:38.460 Now, if you increase that greatly during the next Trump administration, that's going to

01:33:44.060 make a huge difference.

01:33:45.700 It just is.

01:33:46.880 By the way, supported overwhelmingly by the American people, a new poll just came out.

01:33:50.780 Asking, do you support the idea of a wall on the border?

01:33:55.380 And it was 59 percent supported it, 34 percent did not.

01:34:00.640 So a plus 25.

01:34:02.700 Wow.

01:34:03.320 For the wall right now.

01:34:04.740 Did they have what that used to be?

01:34:06.580 They didn't have it in the story that I saw.

01:34:09.580 You know, I think.

01:34:10.240 I think that's a big change.

01:34:11.620 Yeah, it's up quite a bit.

01:34:13.140 I mean, look, when you let millions of people cross the border and murder joggers and parks 0.56

01:34:19.900 for four years, generally speaking, the numbers are going to change a little bit.

01:34:24.620 I think, you know, that's a big part of it.

01:34:27.100 And of course, there's also probably a little bit of a honeymoon period for Trump right now.

01:34:30.160 I mean, it doesn't you know, that's that's natural.

01:34:32.680 I mean, Trump's approval rating when he was president really never crossed 50 percent.

01:34:36.380 Anyone knows what to look for in a security.

01:34:38.900 And over 50 percent really didn't happen during the Trump administration the first time.

01:34:45.440 He's over 50 right now.

01:34:47.060 Is that like 54 percent approval rating?

01:34:48.660 That's not that's only really happened before he took office in 2016.

01:34:53.280 You get a little bit of that.

01:34:54.940 Even Joe Biden was over 50 percent for a very short time as he started his presidency.

01:34:59.260 And then it was sunk down to in the 40s.

01:35:01.760 So this is somewhat typical.

01:35:03.220 You get a nice little honeymoon period, which is good.

01:35:04.920 I think the American people get a little bit of optimism.

01:35:07.560 Maybe some good things are about to occur.

01:35:09.460 But that does not necessarily explain a 59 percent border wall support, including, by the way, plus seven for both black and Hispanic voters.

01:35:22.800 Plus seven for black and Hispanic voters.

01:35:25.400 We're told that like Hispanics, oh, they don't want that.

01:35:27.640 They don't want border security.

01:35:28.600 Yeah, they do.

01:35:29.420 Yeah, I kind of think they do.

01:35:30.420 I think they're law abiding citizens just like you, whitey. 0.95

01:35:33.040 Right.

01:35:33.200 I mean, I love the white liberal elite.

01:35:36.280 They're just like, oh, gosh, well, these let me tell you what they they think.

01:35:41.940 Black people can't get IDs. 1.00

01:35:45.440 But Hispanic people want the border open so that anyone that looks like them can flow across the border. 1.00

01:35:52.940 That's racist.

01:35:55.380 That's what that is.

01:35:56.580 You're summarizing what I would call very negative characteristics.

01:36:00.920 The inability to get a license.

01:36:03.080 Negative characteristics over the course of a race.

01:36:06.920 You're basing this on color of skin.

01:36:08.560 That makes you a racist.

01:36:10.780 That's what that makes you.

01:36:11.560 So, 888-727-BECK.

01:36:14.040 More coming up in 60 seconds.

01:38:03.100 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:38:04.220 That's Cheyenne Grace, Glenn's daughter.

01:38:07.480 And this album will be available on Friday.

01:38:11.500 Black Friday.

01:38:12.820 Wherever you get your music.

01:38:13.940 Texas unveiled its newly acquired border ranch, which has been offered now as the site of detention facilities to help the Trump administration with proposed mass deportations.

01:38:27.880 Texas Land Commissioner Don Buckingham said the state's looking to identify additional land to aid in the federal effort.

01:38:35.240 So unlike the mayor of Denver, they're actually helping the federal government with this problem rather than trying to hinder the federal government with this problem rather than trying to make it worse.

01:38:48.400 If the Trump administration thinks it'll be helpful, we want to be good partners with them, she said.

01:38:55.900 The effort known as the Jocelyn Initiative is named for Jocelyn Nungare, the 12-year-old Houston girl who was killed in June.

01:39:04.620 Two Venezuelan immigrants who were in the country illegally have been charged with that murder and assault.

01:39:10.240 That's happened several times across the country.

01:39:12.200 She said, we will continue to fight to ensure that our state remains a beacon of hope, justice, and dignity for all who call Texas home.

01:39:24.280 This is exactly the way we should be responding to this issue.

01:39:29.280 And if it had been Kamala Harris who was in office or about to become the president of the United States, people wouldn't be responding this way.

01:39:39.520 It would be more of the same.

01:39:42.980 It would be these caravans that are massing to come across the border, and they'd be pouring across our border.

01:39:50.260 The drugs would be pouring across the border.

01:39:52.220 The criminal illegals would be pouring across the border. 0.99

01:39:54.880 The potential terrorists.

01:39:55.920 How many terrorists came in the last year?

01:39:58.220 I don't even remember the statistics, but it was in the hundreds.

01:40:01.640 People who are on the terror watch list.

01:40:05.520 People who are coming from countries that are filled with people who hate America.

01:40:11.700 What's the right number on that?

01:40:13.840 I mean, a lot of times you have a target level.

01:40:16.520 Of terrorists crossing the border?

01:40:17.280 Yeah, of terrorists.

01:40:17.880 Would you want it to be like 1,000?

01:40:19.440 Do you want it higher?

01:40:20.440 What are you thinking?

01:40:21.220 I'm a little picky on that score.

01:40:23.540 Okay.

01:40:23.880 I would call it...

01:40:24.940 I would...

01:40:26.180 My preference would be for it to be a bit lower than 1,000.

01:40:29.860 Have you calculated the exact number, though, so we can...

01:40:32.000 I have.

01:40:32.460 Okay.

01:40:32.800 I've taken the time to do that.

01:40:34.540 Let me just bring down...

01:40:36.240 Carry the one.

01:40:37.660 A none.

01:40:38.980 A zero would be a really good number. 0.96

01:40:41.200 That would be the ideal number of terrorists crossing our border illegally.

01:40:45.220 Zero.

01:40:45.740 None.

01:40:46.100 Really?

01:40:46.580 Yeah.

01:40:46.940 Now...

01:40:47.620 Yeah.

01:40:48.080 How would you do such a thing, though?

01:40:49.640 There's no...

01:40:50.380 There's no path toward lowering that number, right?

01:40:53.680 I mean...

01:40:54.240 Well, there is.

01:40:55.740 And one of the ways I would do it is I'd build a wall.

01:40:58.960 Okay.

01:40:59.360 And I would increase the number of border agents at the border.

01:41:03.060 Really?

01:41:03.640 Yeah.

01:41:04.100 Mm-hmm.

01:41:04.520 If it were me, I'd probably put military personnel at the border, but it's not me.

01:41:09.820 People would be screaming, Posse Comitatus!

01:41:12.960 If I did that, of course.

01:41:14.500 I know.

01:41:14.940 We used Posse Comitatus in the War of 1812.

01:41:17.340 Do you know that?

01:41:19.260 You know?

01:41:20.100 Posse Comitatus!

01:41:21.900 I love it.

01:41:22.460 No, but the problem...

01:41:23.700 I mean, and I know...

01:41:24.640 I understand maybe you don't follow the news all that closely, Pat.

01:41:29.080 Right, because, yeah.

01:41:30.340 You know, maybe you don't.

01:41:31.400 I don't.

01:41:31.740 I'm not a newsman.

01:41:32.520 You're not a news guy.

01:41:33.500 You're not that kind of guy.

01:41:35.060 But, like, how are you going to have this border security you speak of when you need

01:41:40.440 to forgive student loans?

01:41:43.480 When you need to have an eviction moratorium, right?

01:41:47.220 Yeah.

01:41:47.520 Here's what I would do.

01:41:48.400 Okay.

01:41:48.560 I wouldn't forgive student loans.

01:41:51.740 That's just...

01:41:52.140 Again, that's just me.

01:41:53.260 I'm just...

01:41:53.940 I'm going to say, go ahead and pay your debt.

01:41:56.200 Wait, you're saying that people...

01:41:57.480 I want to make sure I understand your position here.

01:41:59.340 Okay.

01:41:59.680 And I hope the American people are hearing this.

01:42:01.580 You're saying that individuals that make individual decisions...

01:42:06.380 Right.

01:42:06.760 ...to take out student loans for college...

01:42:09.660 Yes.

01:42:10.040 ...should be, in your words, required...

01:42:13.300 Yes.

01:42:13.920 ...to continue to pay those loans back on their own.

01:42:17.900 As they agreed to do when they took the loan out.

01:42:20.420 Yeah.

01:42:20.760 I was going to say that.

01:42:21.840 You just said it anyway.

01:42:23.280 Wow.

01:42:23.800 That is quite the position, Pat.

01:42:25.900 Isn't it?

01:42:26.480 Wow.

01:42:27.020 What a hateful.

01:42:28.060 Hateful.

01:42:28.340 Hateful, yeah.

01:42:28.700 Wait, hold on.

01:42:29.660 What if these are students of color? 0.70

01:42:31.440 Yeah, they have to pay them back, too.

01:42:33.100 You're telling me...

01:42:34.020 They also pay them back.

01:42:34.900 ...you think someone with a different skin color than you can pay their own debts back? 0.58

01:42:41.220 I do.

01:42:41.780 Yeah.

01:42:42.040 I really believe that.

01:42:43.420 I really believe that.

01:42:44.100 Wow.

01:42:44.120 That's a fringe opinion, Pat.

01:42:45.600 Isn't it, though?

01:42:46.200 It is.

01:42:46.920 I suppose you think there's not a genocide going on with Israel against the citizens of

01:42:53.100 God.

01:42:53.540 You're exactly right.

01:42:54.560 Wait.

01:42:55.080 Yeah.

01:42:55.700 I think there is not a genocide going on.

01:42:59.820 And I think you should probably look up the word genocide and see what it actually

01:43:02.640 means.

01:43:02.980 I'm pretty sure what it means is the thing I don't like.

01:43:05.140 What it means is anything the opposing party does.

01:43:08.200 That's what it means.

01:43:09.820 We all know what genocide is, Pat.

01:43:11.880 And that's been covered many, many times.

01:43:14.040 It has.

01:43:14.520 Wow.

01:43:15.040 Radical on the air here.

01:43:16.200 Yep.

01:43:16.780 That's sad.

01:43:19.400 Glenn Beck.

01:44:35.320 Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.

01:44:39.140 More Glenn Beck in a moment.

01:44:47.340 Patent stew for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:45:08.720 I thought she was going to sing that first.

01:45:20.580 Apparently not.

01:45:22.260 Felt like it was coming on.

01:45:23.460 Felt like vocals were about to happen.

01:45:25.100 Did it not?

01:45:26.280 Maybe it's just me.

01:45:27.760 But this is the karaoke version, so you could sing it.

01:45:29.720 Oh, okay.

01:45:30.040 All right, so...

01:45:31.160 Oh! 0.60

01:45:31.940 Wow.

01:45:33.560 You almost tricked me.

01:45:34.540 I was about to start singing.

01:45:35.540 We were just a couple seconds off.

01:45:38.720 That's...

01:45:39.200 I mean, I will also get Cheyenne Grace's album, but I would definitely buy yours.

01:45:45.280 Would you?

01:45:45.920 Yes, I would.

01:45:47.020 Okay.

01:45:48.000 I'd buy the physical copies.

01:45:50.140 I'd get several extras just to make sure in case something happens.

01:45:53.340 And give him his gifts?

01:45:53.960 Oh, yeah.

01:45:54.520 Yeah.

01:45:55.060 Nice.

01:45:55.680 I'd get it on vinyl.

01:45:56.720 I would argue this would be something that maybe next Christmas you could give along with

01:46:02.620 every box of Kexi Cookies that you purchase.

01:46:06.160 Right.

01:46:06.360 You get a free Pat Gray holiday CD.

01:46:10.040 I think people would...

01:46:11.080 Oh, people would love that.

01:46:11.900 They'd love that.

01:46:12.700 They'd eat it up.

01:46:13.460 They're huge.

01:46:14.460 It's a good idea.

01:46:15.460 It's a good idea.

01:46:16.560 I'm just saying, Kexi.com.

01:46:18.260 Yeah.

01:46:18.660 You take that idea for free.

01:46:20.180 You don't even have to...

01:46:21.760 I don't even have royalties on it.

01:46:23.820 And by the way, at Kexi.com, we've got our Black Friday sale on Friday.

01:46:30.080 And it lasts through the weekend, in fact, and to Cyber Monday.

01:46:53.660 Let's go to Joel in Maine.

01:46:56.140 Hey, Joel.

01:46:57.240 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

01:46:59.700 Good morning, gentlemen.

01:47:00.820 You guys are having a little fun over there this morning.

01:47:02.540 So, I figured I wanted to be part of the party.

01:47:04.440 Oh, good.

01:47:05.000 All right.

01:47:05.300 So, we were talking about the international lack of understanding for the world, the accountability

01:47:13.300 and free loans and so on and so forth.

01:47:16.620 But I have an interesting thought that's quite provocative and likely won't earn me any friends.

01:47:22.040 And before I make my thought, let me say I'm a second-generation American married to a Native

01:47:26.120 American woman.

01:47:27.620 Okay.

01:47:28.420 The SBE, the Disadvantaged Business Association nonsense that is supported by the government

01:47:36.220 is, you know, by viewpoint, government-supported racism.

01:47:41.400 How is that?

01:47:42.340 Okay.

01:47:42.620 So, let's look.

01:47:43.380 People say, women don't do what men do and women can't make. 1.00

01:47:45.740 Okay.

01:47:46.060 Excuse me.

01:47:46.580 I'm sorry.

01:47:47.080 I thought we just, I thought we have a female vice president. 1.00

01:47:49.700 I thought we have a female, a historic female secretary of state, so on and so forth. 1.00

01:47:54.120 I will say that Kamala Harris's job might not be the best thing to talk about when you're

01:47:58.920 talking about female competence. 1.00

01:48:01.040 Fair enough.

01:48:02.160 I mean, unfortunately, I have to go with Harris and Clinton, but give a guy a break.

01:48:05.840 But anyway, then comes the, oh, well, black men can't achieve what they can't achieve. 1.00

01:48:11.140 That's the father's statement from the truth.

01:48:12.740 Number one, Barack Obama reached the highest office in the United States.

01:48:16.360 And years ago, I worked for a highly competent, very successful, non-college educated colored 1.00

01:48:22.260 man who was a very dear friend of mine today.

01:48:24.840 The problem I have is this, is why is it that we have no, people want equality?

01:48:30.580 Okay.

01:48:30.980 How about let's talk about equality?

01:48:32.540 Let's get rid of the, the, oh, well, we need to have so many applicants of this and 1.00

01:48:36.920 the black advantage based college scores and disadvantaged businesses.

01:48:41.240 You know, that's, that's 100% nonsense.

01:48:44.620 And now you're talking to an entrepreneur.

01:48:46.000 How is it that because somebody has a different color of skin than I do, they have more access

01:48:51.320 to federal contracts?

01:48:53.000 How is it that it's okay for them to do that?

01:48:55.520 Now, here's the problem.

01:48:56.600 Who supports that?

01:48:57.800 That's generated and maintained by the United States government.

01:49:01.020 So I would like to send a direct message to Mr. Musk and Mr. Vivek, Mr. Ramaswamy,

01:49:06.080 say, hey guys, that's the first thing that should go.

01:49:09.240 Again, remember men, I'm married to a Native American woman who's a veteran.

01:49:13.840 You're going to tell me that if I didn't want to cash and play those cards and put my wife's 1.00

01:49:18.760 name on my business, who is a veteran, a woman and a Native American, that I wouldn't get

01:49:23.260 federal contracts up the wazoo.

01:49:24.840 I refuse to do it.

01:49:25.800 I won't do it.

01:49:26.700 Good for you.

01:49:27.520 Good for you.

01:49:28.060 I mean, I think that is this, the problem with your approach here is they have to admit

01:49:32.500 their entire worldview is false and they're not going to do that, right?

01:49:36.240 They have to admit that the evil white man is not constantly oppressing everybody and they

01:49:42.800 can't say that.

01:49:43.840 It's, it's, it's their entire worldview.

01:49:46.240 They, you know, it's difficult for people to give up on that.

01:49:48.440 And, and to admit that, you know, maybe just maybe Native Americans and black people and

01:49:54.680 women can just do all the things that everyone else can do is a step too far for them. 1.00

01:49:59.620 You have to let go of the entire victimization culture in order to make that happen.

01:50:05.540 And they're not going to, like you mentioned, they're, they're not going to.

01:50:08.900 Canon, Georgia.

01:50:10.360 Welcome.

01:50:12.260 Hello.

01:50:12.700 Hey, it's a pleasure to speak with you, gentlemen.

01:50:16.540 You are very, very fine Americans and you have made everybody's thoughts in the right

01:50:23.680 direction.

01:50:24.980 I've got a question for you.

01:50:26.820 Um, the underhandedness of the Democrats, uh, has been very, uh, noticeable to everyone.

01:50:35.220 And I was wondering, is there a possibility that, uh, our vice president can pull the 25th

01:50:42.740 amendment knocking, uh, you know, who out of the shot for one day at the end, uh, before turning

01:50:50.580 over power, making her the president of the United States, which would be the first woman 0.99

01:50:56.320 of color, uh, uh, and that would go down in the history books forever.

01:51:00.660 Uh, she would have no power to do anything on the last day, but that would make her that

01:51:07.520 person, the president and move our current president, uh, elect into the next number.

01:51:16.560 Yeah.

01:51:17.000 Yeah.

01:51:17.200 He'd be 48 at that point.

01:51:18.620 Yeah.

01:51:18.820 Yeah.

01:51:19.040 A lot of people are concerned about that.

01:51:20.720 Ken, a lot of, I get calls on that on my show.

01:51:23.340 Would you care?

01:51:23.880 Would you care?

01:51:24.780 I, not necessarily.

01:51:26.000 Yeah.

01:51:26.260 Cause it wouldn't do anything except she would be, I guess the first woman, black woman, 0.99

01:51:31.560 Indian woman president.

01:51:32.940 Uh, right.

01:51:33.760 So they'd get that little, so she'd get that little intersectional points.

01:51:37.520 I, I don't think that it's worth doing that.

01:51:42.360 Yeah.

01:51:42.720 I don't think so either.

01:51:43.620 I don't think so.

01:51:44.620 I thought there was a, a slight chance, honestly, right before the election that that could happen.

01:51:50.900 Yeah.

01:51:51.280 And I think that honestly would have made a lot of sense for them if they would have had

01:51:55.160 him drop out and her step into the presidency then right after the debate, let's say a few

01:52:00.060 weeks after the debate, you could say, okay, this was a real health problem.

01:52:03.960 He's really in trouble.

01:52:05.340 She's going to step in.

01:52:06.280 She's going to make a difference.

01:52:07.300 It would have given her some, maybe some incumbency. 0.98

01:52:10.340 Maybe people saw her in that position. 0.93

01:52:11.840 It might've improved her standing a little bit. 0.55

01:52:13.640 Maybe.

01:52:14.240 Maybe.

01:52:14.700 I mean, again, it would have been a hail Mary, but they were in a position where a hail

01:52:17.920 Mary was, you know, not a terrible option.

01:52:21.540 I think that was part of the deal though, that he stayed.

01:52:24.000 Totally.

01:52:24.660 Totally.

01:52:24.960 I'm going to stay and finish my term.

01:52:27.240 Uh, and so I'll drop out of the race, but I'm staying.

01:52:30.340 Yeah.

01:52:31.060 Yeah.

01:52:31.340 Two things about that.

01:52:32.420 But if it was going to happen, it was not going to happen with the 25th amendment.

01:52:35.680 That's not how that would have happened.

01:52:36.660 It would have been him.

01:52:38.100 Resigning.

01:52:38.780 Resigning.

01:52:39.680 It would have given him that these little points for, you know, you get the intersectional

01:52:43.600 points and it would have screwed up all the merchandise for Trump, like, because he's

01:52:47.220 got all the 45, 47 merch and it would have to be 45, 48.

01:52:51.440 So I could see them doing it just to screw with him on that.

01:52:54.100 But at the end of the day, it doesn't make, it doesn't really do anything.

01:52:57.260 It would just feed into the fact for Kamala that she's a DEI candidate, right?

01:53:01.640 I mean, if she was handed the presidency to, she's already handed the vice presidency. 0.99

01:53:06.200 She was handed the nomination.

01:53:07.860 She's been handed things her entire life.

01:53:09.740 Then she gets handed the presidency.

01:53:11.200 I mean, it would fit, but I don't think it's going to happen.

01:53:14.800 So priceless.

01:53:16.360 The big deal they made out of democracy.

01:53:20.080 They screamed about it at the top of their lungs and then they, they went the opposite

01:53:25.260 direction to make her the nominee. 0.88

01:53:28.180 They had, they shut down democracy to make her the nominee. 1.00

01:53:31.620 They destroyed their own primary.

01:53:33.300 Incredible.

01:53:34.300 Just absolutely incredible.

01:53:35.980 It was probably the right choice.

01:53:37.460 Like you're not of the opinion that Biden would have won, right?

01:53:40.540 No, do you, do you think as I do that he probably would have lost by even more?

01:53:45.060 I think so.

01:53:45.620 I think so too.

01:53:46.520 Yeah.

01:53:47.000 Now he doesn't think that, but to open it up at the convention, don't, wouldn't an, wouldn't

01:53:51.740 an open convention have made sense?

01:53:54.360 I think it would have because she's terrible and everybody knew she was terrible.

01:53:59.040 Everybody knew she was not popular.

01:54:01.640 They didn't like her as vice president.

01:54:03.700 Now they're going to elect her president. 1.00

01:54:05.580 I don't, do you think anyone could have won?

01:54:08.400 I, no, none of the Democrats because who would have, the ones they talked about were Gretchen

01:54:14.740 Whitmer and, uh, and Gavin Newsom.

01:54:18.600 I could either of those two have won.

01:54:21.000 I don't think so.

01:54:22.020 They both got terrible records, especially Newsom in California.

01:54:25.200 I mean, you just run against his record and you win.

01:54:28.780 And I think that'll be the case anytime he runs for president.

01:54:33.200 I just don't see him ever winning a national election.

01:54:37.160 I don't think he can.

01:54:39.140 I don't think he can.

01:54:39.860 He's just been too terrible in California.

01:54:43.240 I mean, Californians apparently love him.

01:54:45.500 They keep, they keep electing him, but nobody else does.

01:54:50.160 I don't even know.

01:54:51.020 They almost recalled him.

01:54:52.620 They don't even love him.

01:54:53.440 They don't love him.

01:54:54.300 It's true.

01:54:54.500 He's just there.

01:54:55.760 That's the, that's the thing with Kamala. 1.00

01:54:57.220 If she runs for governor, she'll raise a ton of money and she'll probably win. 1.00

01:55:01.740 She's obviously good at that. 0.93

01:55:02.400 Kind of there, right?

01:55:04.160 She's leading all the primary polls for 2028. 0.71

01:55:06.080 And I think they should do it.

01:55:07.360 I mean, run her back.

01:55:08.420 They worked for Trump, right?

01:55:10.760 Like, you know, he lost an election, came back the next time and won.

01:55:13.920 It probably will work for you to try it.

01:55:15.880 Give it a try.

01:55:16.540 Give it a whirl.

01:55:17.180 Do it.

01:55:17.640 What the heck?

01:55:18.000 Do it.

01:55:19.120 What was it?

01:55:19.980 41 to eight?

01:55:21.460 I think.

01:55:22.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.280 I mean, that's just name recognition though, right?

01:55:24.440 They're coming off of an election.

01:55:25.760 I can't imagine she'd be the actual favorite for long if she got back in the race. 1.00

01:55:31.940 If she was running for 2028, she might, you know, lead the pre-election polling, but I don't think she'd win the primary deal. 0.99

01:55:38.600 Somebody would beat her. 0.99

01:55:40.140 I have to believe, although I don't know who it is at this point, but that's the thing.

01:55:43.720 It's, you know, you got it.

01:55:44.880 They're going to have to have a Bill Clinton situation where somebody comes from nowhere to win this thing because nobody likes the current possibilities enough to nominate them.

01:55:53.940 I don't think.

01:55:54.620 Yeah, I mean, I think we discussed Shapiro earlier.

01:55:56.960 I think he'll have a possibility.

01:55:59.580 I mean, I don't know that he's a great candidate.

01:56:01.400 He hasn't been tested at this level, but I think he's got the potential to be a candidate that would be dangerous.

01:56:06.360 You know, people talk about Gretchen Whitmer. 0.63

01:56:08.160 I don't see it.

01:56:09.000 The only one that would be scary if they could convince her, and that's Big Mike, Michelle Obama.

01:56:15.000 Not this again.

01:56:15.920 Are we still going down this stupid road with Michelle Obama?

01:56:20.260 I mean, I'm so frustrated.

01:56:22.160 If Joe Biden would have just stayed in this race, I would have had $3,000 of Glenn's dollars.

01:56:27.100 Stupid Joe.

01:56:28.660 Which, by the way, did nothing for him.

01:56:31.540 He's still getting blamed.

01:56:32.920 He stepped down and he's still getting blamed for it.

01:56:35.100 There was no upside of him jumping out of this race.

01:56:38.740 I mean, maybe they won a couple of Senate races they wouldn't have won if he stayed in.

01:56:42.540 So he had to stay in all the way to the election in order for you to win the bet?

01:56:48.560 To win the bet.

01:56:49.200 And for him, it had to be where Biden dropped out, which, again, I could have definitely seen that happening.

01:56:56.840 My confidence, though, was both him dropping out and Michelle becoming the nominee I thought was really unlikely, which it was.

01:57:03.540 It did not occur.

01:57:04.820 Fortunately, she just hates America too much to run, I think. 1.00

01:57:07.500 Like, that's a job she doesn't want. 0.68

01:57:09.660 And they're doing too well now.

01:57:11.500 She's not going to ruin that.

01:57:13.360 You know, they're 100 millionaires now.

01:57:15.300 She doesn't want that. 0.84

01:57:16.140 I will say, too, I've thought about this a little bit with these appointments that Trump is making.

01:57:21.880 Because I think, like, at the end of the day, you're right.

01:57:24.540 Like, her life is better now than it would be as president in the United States.

01:57:29.120 Yeah, by far.

01:57:29.960 Especially a losing candidate if she were to happen to have lost.

01:57:32.940 But, like, I think about all these people that Trump is naming.

01:57:35.180 And because Trump is so media aware, he's naming a lot of people who have media experience.

01:57:40.740 He's naming a lot of people who have really freaking good lives to these jobs.

01:57:44.100 And they're taking these gigs.

01:57:45.540 Yeah, it's amazing.

01:57:47.460 What's the incentive?

01:57:48.720 I'm not in his life.

01:57:49.760 I don't know what it's like.

01:58:00.220 It's like an actuarial job.

01:58:02.160 Like, that's not a good gig.

01:58:04.340 Not at all.

01:58:04.940 Right?
