00:01:08.560
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:17.020
So much, the drums of war, immigration, Thanksgiving week.
00:01:24.080
Have you noticed, though, that since Trump was elected, there's kind of a palpable positivity in the air right now?
00:01:36.500
With most Americans, I think they feel pretty good about things right now.
00:01:40.120
I think this Christmas season is going to be one of the biggest we've ever had.
00:01:43.660
Because people are just more upbeat and more optimistic about the economy now.
00:01:47.880
That there's some light at the end of the tunnel.
00:01:51.500
I went to Costco in Southlake on the way home yesterday.
00:01:58.640
But it was so packed with people, you could barely move through the aisles.
00:02:05.360
It was so full, in fact, that there was nowhere to park in the parking lot.
00:02:09.680
Which is approximately twice the size of Delaware.
00:02:16.760
I wound up having to park in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and walk the rest of the way.
00:02:21.840
Is that why I saw you walking on the side of the road?
00:02:32.860
Whoopi Goldberg actually shut down a little fear-mongering on the view.
00:02:37.640
Get into that and much more coming up in 60 seconds.
00:02:40.480
Well, I'm sure you've noticed that ammo prices are insane.
00:02:45.740
If you've ever gone to the range, you know that.
00:02:48.100
It's like you're setting your money on fire just to try to get better.
00:02:50.780
If you have to hire a firearms instructor, or, I mean, even, you know, gosh, the prices
00:02:56.980
just get insane and higher and higher and higher and higher.
00:03:03.180
How do you become someone who can be familiar with their firearms?
00:03:07.300
God forbid you have to use it in a tight situation, you can.
00:03:14.080
It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military.
00:03:19.580
You attach it to your firearm, connect with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth,
00:03:24.960
and whether you're firing actual rounds or even dry fire practicing, it will give instant
00:03:29.800
feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.
00:03:33.860
94% of shooters improve within just 20 minutes using Mantis X.
00:03:55.560
Did you see the Texas Department of Public Safety shared just a heartbreaking video on Sunday
00:04:03.700
showing literally dozens and dozens of unaccompanied children at the border?
00:04:11.180
There was this one instance of a border agent talking to a two-year-old.
00:04:21.020
It's a little bit hard to understand, but we'll walk you through it.
00:04:24.760
But check out this video of the two-year-old at the border alone.
00:05:12.080
Just go north until you run into a really big group of people
00:05:18.780
And then hopefully they'll find your mom and dad for you
00:05:29.280
And we should note the humanitarian side of the argument
00:05:41.200
Well, here's families separating themselves and sending.
00:05:44.200
There were 60 kids in this particular group of unaccompanied children
00:06:01.480
I mean, just logistically, how does that occur?
00:06:06.480
Are you trying to get your two-year-old to go anywhere?
00:06:07.640
Are you just releasing them and go walk that way and hope?
00:06:18.120
And, you know, we're the bad people again, as you mentioned.
00:06:21.040
We're the bad people because we're separating families supposedly.
00:06:25.740
Well, yeah, you want to separate the kids from adults
00:06:29.420
that you don't know anything about because they could be sex traffickers.
00:06:40.140
And so, yeah, they separate them while they try to figure out who the child belongs to.
00:06:45.780
And as a result, there's, what, 300,000 of them right now
00:06:52.860
But, I mean, what you're showing there is not a separation.
00:06:59.880
They're separated and they're showing up this way.
00:07:03.300
And, of course, it's incentivized by the policies.
00:07:05.860
Like, if you have a situation where someone shows up at the border without a parent,
00:07:16.040
And that oftentimes leads to longer stays for the child and the parent in the United States.
00:07:27.420
But that is the way this winds up working out for so many.
00:07:31.740
And, you know, look, while you can be critical of people who come and cross the border,
00:07:37.180
I mean, number one, a lot of it's just desperation, right?
00:07:39.740
Like, if you were going to do something with your child like that,
00:07:41.880
you must be in this sort of desperate state that I can't even imagine.
00:07:44.660
How desperate would you have to be to send your kids across the Canadian border by themselves?
00:07:49.780
But, I mean, there is a minimal, I think there's a floor, either that or your kid's really annoying.
00:07:55.180
But if you like your kid, there's probably some floor of desperation you'd have to feel to do something like that.
00:08:00.760
I mean, I guess if you thought they were going to die.
00:08:06.140
I mean, but of course, that wouldn't mean that you're already in the United States.
00:08:09.540
Like, if you got there, you should have brought them.
00:08:13.060
So, again, there's no excuse, obviously, for this.
00:08:17.300
But there's no excuse for a country that encourages it and incentivizes it.
00:08:20.540
And while we can be critical of the decision-making process that would lead you to do such a thing,
00:08:29.780
And they're doing this for a reason because we are incentivizing it.
00:08:33.160
They know that if the kids get their in one piece,
00:08:36.280
then we're going to take it upon ourselves to take care of them as best we can.
00:08:45.280
Now, look, maybe that changes in a couple of months.
00:08:47.660
It's also the reason why it's happening at a higher amount right now.
00:08:52.400
These are all changes, by the way, all totally avoidable.
00:08:58.240
Could have been avoided this entire time if we took this stuff seriously.
00:09:05.480
And for most of the administration, now, Trump obviously is signaling a big change there.
00:09:11.100
And there has been a change within the past, like, you know, six months to a year,
00:09:14.240
which has improved the situation by basically adopting a bunch of Trump's policies that were canceled when Biden came into office.
00:09:23.540
Hey, maybe we should try doing something on the border.
00:09:29.260
Now, it didn't work for the election because people saw through it.
00:09:32.740
They said, OK, well, you can't just do this the last second and claim that you care about this.
00:09:38.220
And I think, in part, Greg Abbott is responsible for that by spreading this problem throughout the country, by sending so many illegals to New York.
00:09:48.940
He woke people up because now every state's a border state.
00:09:53.460
But he just exacerbated that problem and brought it to the forefront.
00:09:57.080
And so Democrat mayors and governors had to deal with it, whereas before they just washed their hands of it.
00:10:16.280
And it was also, to a much lesser extent, Ron DeSantis, who did it in Martha's Vineyard, kind of a high profile moment.
00:10:26.160
And also, the other guy gets forgotten out of this is Doug Ducey, the former governor of Arizona, who also was doing this along with Abbott.
00:10:35.820
I mean, it is very rarely do you see large debates like that really get turned on their head.
00:10:51.200
And one of the first things I think I ever heard you talk about on the air was the border.
00:10:59.280
That was probably the biggest change in the narrative, the understanding of the border that I can remember in one big moment.
00:11:07.200
I remember when it started, I was like, yeah, this is an interesting, kind of like a stunt.
00:11:17.620
I think a lot of conservatives thought that way.
00:11:19.740
I didn't think it was going to lead to any lasting change.
00:11:25.080
I mean, obviously, I think this election partially turned on that.
00:11:32.820
You think the border being like one of the top two or three issues?
00:11:35.880
This is probably the biggest change in the understanding of the border.
00:11:38.500
And for most of the country, the border hasn't been one of the top issues.
00:11:45.680
Until we woke up the Northeast to what the problem is.
00:11:52.020
It's interesting because, you know, Ducey was not the most, like, he was not the conservative
00:11:59.140
Like, he didn't make a lot of news when it came to.
00:12:01.700
In fact, a lot of conservatives didn't like him all that much.
00:12:07.220
I mean, when I talk to my friends from around the country, they think that's insane because
00:12:20.340
But, I mean, Texas people look at Texas and want.
00:12:22.960
They expect very high things, very high standards.
00:12:33.840
I mean, there's things he's done that I didn't like.
00:12:37.940
And just from that one thing, I think that did get lost a little bit maybe in the election.
00:12:48.840
I mean, that was a massive change in one of those, like, I don't know, concrete issues
00:12:58.440
Another one would be school choice over the past few years.
00:13:01.620
That was one of those issues that, I mean, it bubbled up on conservative media, conservative
00:13:06.000
think tanks for years and years and years and years and years.
00:13:08.820
We all talked about how important it would be for people to be able to make these decisions
00:13:14.640
It would upend the public school craziness we were getting.
00:13:19.200
The teachers' unions would be affected negatively by it, which is why they fight it so hard.
00:13:24.080
And not to mention, it would help actual children with actual education.
00:13:27.520
And for years, that policy laid there and was sort of dormant.
00:13:31.840
People who are on the conservative side said they liked it, never really seemed to go anywhere.
00:13:36.900
Then, you know, people like Corey DeAngelis is one who's an activist in that area.
00:13:49.660
And that's another one that has changed over just the past few years.
00:13:52.700
So, at times, we lose sight of all the positives that happen.
00:13:56.680
Because we're beaten down with so much garbage and so many negatives that you do forget that,
00:14:05.560
And I think they're going to improve a lot starting January 20th.
00:14:10.640
But one thing that goes completely unnoticed, too, is that Texas DPS, the Department of Public Safety,
00:14:17.740
has rescued more than 900 children as part of this Operation Lone Star,
00:14:23.400
where they're trying to get kids who are unaccompanied back together with their parents.
00:14:32.360
Obviously, DPS does, because they've been fairly successful at it.
00:14:38.180
But, I mean, their parents could be anywhere by now.
00:14:50.280
And a lot of times, they don't want to be found because they're afraid of deportation.
00:14:55.700
And hats off to them for actually getting it done somewhat successfully so far.
00:15:07.540
There's some people out there who just don't believe in half measures, like at all.
00:15:11.780
Everything they do, they give 100% of themselves into doing it.
00:15:20.560
And when one of those people becomes a real estate agent, Glenn's company, realestateagentsitrust.com,
00:15:25.500
seeks them out so they can pair you with them for when it's time for you to buy or sell a home.
00:15:30.340
Glenn started this over a decade ago with his brother.
00:15:32.740
And when he saw just, you know, how difficult it was to actually get a competent person you could really count on,
00:15:40.820
They only work with the top sellers who are serious, smart, hardworking, and honest.
00:15:45.700
In short, he started the company because he learned how to find these people and how to find them the hard way.
00:15:50.940
And he wanted you to be able to find them the easy way, which is always the better way.
00:15:56.140

00:16:07.680
Little altar boy, I wonder, could you pray for me?
00:16:34.580
Something kind of interesting happened on the view yesterday.
00:16:37.680
I don't know if common sense is starting to hit Whoopi Goldberg.
00:16:42.680
Just maybe graze her a little bit because she's usually just so butt stupid and wrong about everything.
00:16:50.500
We've talked about this, but I don't know how that shows even on the air.
00:16:54.060
Because if we were as wrong as they are about virtually every issue,
00:16:59.840
made up the kinds of things they make up on a daily basis,
00:17:04.020
lie about the kind of things they lie, we wouldn't have a show.
00:17:10.180
But yesterday, they were all worried, of course, about the Trump presidency.
00:17:16.700
And so they were arguing about it when Whoopi stepped in a bit.
00:17:20.440
So, I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and watch.
00:17:25.140
We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except...
00:17:29.400
I mean, this guy is told that he's a retribution.
00:17:33.560
There's nothing to be done until you know what you're fighting.
00:17:41.800
What I'm saying is I have no false expectations that at 78,
00:17:46.860
he's going to all of a sudden turn into another human.
00:17:50.560
Oh my God, this is the most annoying thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
00:17:56.100
How could that be allowed to be on broadcast television?
00:18:00.140
A bunch of the most annoying sounds I've ever heard in my life all playing at once.
00:18:33.740
So what you're saying is you want to hear more of it.
00:18:38.040
I spent weeks telling people that he was apocalyptic.
00:18:51.420
Wait, I don't think they have to worry about losing credibility
00:19:11.760
I honestly don't know what happened in that clip.
00:19:13.800
I was so distracted by all of them talking over each other.
00:19:30.740
Wait, are you going to wait and see how Hitler does?
00:19:40.620
But what I will say is, look, obviously they just didn't mean the Hitler stuff, I guess.
00:20:01.260
You don't bash him for seven years, eight years, and then say, all right, we're going
00:20:10.400
Isn't this the guy you said was Hitler and Mussolini and is going to round people up and
00:20:14.540
put them in concentration camps and is going to completely shut you down?
00:20:22.220
I don't know if we discussed this on Friday, but there's interesting rumors from the Puck
00:20:26.900
Report and the UK Independent about why they took that meeting.
00:20:35.560
Why Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-Lago to speak with Donald Trump.
00:20:46.120
But supposedly, according to the Puck Report, they are concerned about an investigation being
00:20:51.980
launched into the death of his intern, clear back in the 90s when he was a congressman
00:21:00.840
It was very, very questionable, bizarre circumstances, I guess.
00:21:05.800
She was a very young person, I think like 22, and fell on her desk or something and died.
00:21:18.980
Maybe they just don't want to be investigated because he doesn't want it to come up again.
00:21:30.080
Maybe they met with him because they want access to the presidency for the next four years.
00:21:35.380
But it is fascinating from this group of people that has been so psychotic about Donald Trump
00:21:41.340
to see them now saying, well, let's wait and see, or to go and sit down with him and try
00:22:07.560
You're about to gather with your family around the table and under one roof and give thanks
00:22:11.680
for really all the amazing blessings God has bestowed on all of us throughout the year.
00:22:16.900
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews wishes you a blessed Thanksgiving,
00:22:20.880
but would also like you to remember those who are facing unbelievable hardships and are
00:22:27.740
And that includes the people of Israel who are threatened still daily by attacks from enemies
00:22:34.460
Your gift to the fellowship will, just like $25, will help provide a food box to an elderly
00:22:40.600
Israeli or an Israeli family who are suffering and in desperate need right now.
00:22:46.260
A gift of $100 will provide four of those life-saving food boxes.
00:22:51.060
The more you give, the more you bless our brothers and sisters in Israel.
00:22:54.720
And when the rest of the world has really turned their back on them, what a great thing
00:22:59.300
This Thanksgiving, please consider standing with Israel and the Jewish people.
00:23:02.560
Go to supportifcj.org to make a gift right now.
00:23:06.640
It's supportifcj.org or call them 888-488-IFCJ.
00:23:15.040
Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern or anytime and
00:24:01.540
Glenn Stutter, Cheyenne Grace with Christmas album, which is released Black Friday.
00:24:08.960
So just a few days now, three days from now, this will become available.
00:24:27.240
What about you doing a little duet getting in there?
00:24:29.640
I mean, you've done some great songs on this show.
00:24:46.900
In fact, a lot of big, and this is just a, I'm picking up on this trend now, but when
00:24:50.880
conservatives tend to win elections, like you seem to release a new song almost always
00:25:04.180
Maybe I'll wait till after the holidays, because you don't want to compete with Cheyenne Grace.
00:25:08.780
But maybe shortly after, you know, because it's going to sell so many copies that I don't
00:25:15.440
know if there would be money enough to buy other albums.
00:25:21.740
You're worried about shutting down the entire music industry?
00:25:24.940
I don't want to get into Cheyenne's way or Taylor Swift.
00:25:31.940
From what I understand, she's only a trillionaire.
00:25:40.120
She just did that world tour, and she's not a quadrillionaire.
00:25:41.940
You've got to be worried that Travis is going to leave her.
00:25:54.820
Jason Kelsey is, as an Eagles fan, a legend in my life for many, many, many years before
00:26:02.980
And so I love Jason Kelsey, but now he's everywhere all the time.
00:26:12.720
And on a sports note, speaking of Jason Kelsey and the Philadelphia Eagles, they're doing
00:26:25.540
If you want to talk Saquon, I'll do it all day.
00:26:45.000
He had over 60 fantasy points in our league, I think.
00:26:52.080
Are you the type of person that is, you're talking to your family, you're engaging with
00:26:59.000
them, you're giving thanks for everything that they've done in your life.
00:27:02.520
Or are you watching the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys in front of the TV while just
00:27:14.400
But once you get that food in you, because the beginning of the day, you're talking to
00:27:19.900
everybody, you're catching up, you're getting all the details, you're going through the
00:27:25.060
Well, then the food hits, at least in our schedule, the food hits.
00:27:33.020
And you're more focused on the game, but you're catching up still.
00:27:41.100
And then you're on the couch and you're watching that game.
00:27:44.960
I mean, if it's not the greatest moment of the year, I don't know what it is.
00:27:50.720
Usually, not like this year, but usually some terrible Detroit Lions game where they're
00:27:58.520
This year, they're going to be up by 38 probably in the second quarter.
00:28:04.500
And it's kind of fun because their quarterback was just discarded like so much garbage by
00:28:22.780
But she and a guest are claiming here that Donald Trump is putting people in place who
00:28:31.680
This has been kind of a theme the last few months, that he wants the military to be able
00:28:41.220
I don't know when he made that vow because I missed that speech.
00:28:54.140
And I want you to say more about that because you're talking about deploying the U.S. military.
00:28:59.420
Remember, Mark Esper, who was Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense for a while, told him,
00:29:05.760
You can't have the military shoot American citizens.
00:29:08.000
He's going to replace people in the Department of Defense with people who will say you can
00:29:12.920
and that you can deploy the military against protesters, that you can arrest journalists.
00:29:20.500
It was a pledge of allegiance to letting people shoot Americans with them.
00:29:27.840
And people, like, it's easy to just blow off Joe Reed, obviously, because she's an idiot.
00:29:34.660
I was watching this one rally in Pennsylvania where this guy, he's on stage, he turns his
00:29:44.940
Another one was sent to the hospital for a very long time.
00:29:51.360
And it's interesting sometimes where the source of those bullets come from.
00:29:54.560
And sometimes I heard of one instance where some guy was laying in wait on a golf course.
00:29:58.820
Yeah, for some guy to pass by and was ready to shoot him.
00:30:08.000
I'm glad that Joy's out there looking out for the people who are doing those types of
00:30:13.340
In my lifetime, I have never seen or heard anything like the madness that's being vomited
00:30:23.920
The only time in American history that I think compares to this is maybe the presidential election
00:30:30.440
of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.
00:30:35.220
But it's so much worse now because of social media and modern technology where you're seeing
00:30:47.060
Everybody knows the accusation that's completely baseless.
00:30:52.140
They're talking about spreading misinformation and disinformation by the right.
00:30:56.480
How about what's been going on on the Donald Trump front for eight years now?
00:31:03.680
I find it to be really interesting, too, how that stuff seems to permeate society much quicker
00:31:14.200
You know, like, I mean, Project 2025 is a good example of this.
00:31:17.760
Like, I was shocked at the polling on Project 2025 about how many people were aware of it.
00:31:23.260
I mean, this is a very boring every four-year report that comes out of the Heritage Foundation.
00:31:32.280
Now, they don't call it Project 2025 every year.
00:31:37.660
But they do literally, this is what, there are dozens of think tanks in Washington, D.C.
00:31:43.040
that do the exact same thing every single four years.
00:31:45.640
They come up with a list of recommendations to present to the president and hope they'll
00:31:57.280
Yeah, if Kamala would have won, you know, the Tides Foundation, and name all the names
00:32:13.940
They've dumped money into the Nebraska race to try to get the independent to win.
00:32:21.540
It's the same funding from the billionaires like George Soros.
00:32:28.800
Like a few years ago, it was, hey, Joe Biden just got elected.
00:32:39.060
We should pull out of Afghanistan with, you know, with reckless abandon.
00:32:51.500
Like, if you are a think tank, your job is to come up with ideas to present to people
00:33:02.500
The recommendations from, Heritage Foundation has been around forever.
00:33:07.460
And that was so bizarre because over and over and over again, he denounced it.
00:33:14.520
Couldn't have been any more clear on the fact that he had nothing to do with it and didn't
00:33:20.340
Even though a lot of the recommendations were awesome.
00:33:24.180
First of all, the Heritage Foundation got totally screwed on this.
00:33:27.840
And it's, I guess it's their own fault for coming up with a catchy name.
00:33:30.460
But like, basically they came up with a, a, it was a very good idea to be aggressive and
00:33:38.060
prepare for what might be an incoming Trump administration, which they got.
00:33:42.380
And now the left is trying to stick to this narrative that they actually had this right
00:33:46.480
all along because one guy who wrote for Project 2025 got named to the cabinet.
00:33:52.460
And so every headline about him is like, oh, well, the guy who's running the budget, he
00:33:55.980
was the guy who wrote a part of the Project 2025, which had like hundreds of authors, by
00:34:03.780
It was actually maybe even over a thousand pages, but it had a hundred, hundreds of contributors.
00:34:12.260
That is, it's like what the left did with Project 2025 was take something that everyone
00:34:22.360
They present ideas to an incoming president and try to make it, turn it into a horror movie
00:34:27.140
for morons who didn't know, don't know how Washington works, right?
00:34:31.660
Like, hey, if we're the New York Times and we make it sound really scary, people will
00:34:36.700
think this is the first time this has ever happened, right?
00:34:39.200
Like, oh my God, that, you know, it's like Mein Kampf.
00:34:42.380
It's out there and like Hitler's going to put it into action and it's stuff, it's stuff
00:34:56.320
But I mean, that was something they did and they did it successfully.
00:34:58.980
And I was shocked at how many people thought that was like the beginning and the end of
00:35:13.140
And then they would, without fail, if they knew anything about it, it was something they
00:35:18.140
saw on an Instagram post or something like that where they had a list of a bunch of policies.
00:35:23.640
I did multiple shows on this where we went through and debunked all of them.
00:35:28.880
Now there's a lot of stuff in there that liberals wouldn't like.
00:35:35.280
They just made up crap that's not even in there.
00:35:37.860
And I couldn't believe how fast that stuff permeates the public.
00:35:46.400
People are making decisions on stuff that's totally fake.
00:36:00.520
And I think, look, the American people, while they, I think, take in a lot of the social media stuff,
00:36:06.760
I don't necessarily think that's how they're making their decisions.
00:36:09.780
I think they're making decisions based on how their life feels.
00:36:12.860
Which it feels like for the last few years, it sucked.
00:36:16.900
And one more thing here, Pat, before we leave while I'm on this.
00:36:19.840
This is not where I was going with this point, but who cares?
00:36:23.540
Because there is this, like, long-standing idea that, you know, the American people are
00:36:33.540
Like, they're going to, they're going to, they can be manipulated by the media.
00:36:39.720
The media will direct them in the appropriate way.
00:36:42.080
So, they care about trans rights or, you know, George Floyd or whatever, whatever thing they've
00:36:50.540
And I really think that this election was the most pure real world experiment ever run
00:36:58.360
on whether the mainstream media still had that power.
00:37:06.620
I mean, they, they, they're still an influence.
00:37:16.720
They basically ignored the president getting shot on stage.
00:37:27.460
They, they promoted all sorts of crazy Hitler conspiracy theories.
00:37:31.660
They went, they did everything they could to sink this guy.
00:37:37.580
And I got to say, like, I don't know, in 1992 or 1988 or 2004, I don't know.
00:37:51.780
And I think this is the first time they're waking up going, holy crap, we can't just do
00:37:58.180
The American people are going to see through it.
00:38:17.600

00:39:42.840
Pat, I was playing that Joy Reid clip of her talking about how maybe Donald Trump's just
00:39:47.840
going to start shooting American citizens in the streets.
00:39:52.360
I think there's just going to be piles of dead bodies everywhere.
00:40:03.480
What struck me about that as you were talking about it was, I talked to David Harsani, who's
00:40:13.980
And, you know, there's the QAnon thing, and that would be on 4chan or something.
00:40:18.020
And all of a sudden, wait a minute, now there's this opposing movement that's the same on the
00:40:24.620
But it's like, not people on 4chan, it's people like Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow.
00:40:31.760
Like, the left has this entrenched conspiracy movement that is now-
00:40:38.680
It's just like, they're just treated normally and like, kind of respectfully and-
00:40:42.620
I mean, they accused a person who's already president of the United States of being Adolf
00:41:22.360
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:41:58.980
You heard about the guy in France who made $85 million on the election?
00:42:11.760
For just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt,
00:42:14.780
especially the high interest stuff like your credit cards.
00:42:17.040
For example, if you won $85 million off the election, you really would be out of debt.
00:42:21.360
Now, you might not have done that, unfortunately, but we're talking about something else that
00:42:26.020
could help offset some of the cost of inflation.
00:42:29.860
It could be your reality if you call American financing.
00:42:33.700
For over two decades, American financing has been helping people just like you, just like
00:42:41.860
But refinancing your mortgage can really improve your situation.
00:42:47.920
And you might be surprised at what options you didn't even know you had, from mortgage
00:42:51.080
refinances to other forms of debt consolidation.
00:42:54.120
And even accessing the high equity you have in your home to pay off high interest debts.
00:42:59.300
American financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe even as much as
00:43:03.140
a thousand call American financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to Americanfinancing.net.
00:43:17.380
APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
00:43:21.080
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:43:24.720
There was a European who did pretty well betting on the election.
00:43:33.880
This is, by the way, the story has been rumored for a while.
00:43:36.780
You may have heard, someone's betting a lot of money on the election on Trump, and he's
00:43:43.120
This is the first time I've actually heard the story.
00:43:50.200
On October 15th, three weeks before the presidential election, Ashley Gross heard that a French
00:43:54.600
Frenchman wanted to run a study with the firm where she works, YouGov.
00:43:58.540
This is the polling agency, and you hear their released results a lot.
00:44:03.560
You know, they run polling all throughout the election.
00:44:06.460
In an email, a prospective client told the firm he wanted to poll the current U.S. elections
00:44:10.860
focused on three swing states, specifically Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, investigating
00:44:15.440
the shy voter effects within the next seven days.
00:44:20.880
Soon, Gross, the person who works at YouGov, the general manager for YouGov's scientific
00:44:26.380
research unit, found herself in a Zoom meeting with the Frenchman where she agreed to conduct
00:44:36.640
So, as a private person, you can just call YouGov and say, hey, I want to commission a poll.
00:44:43.680
So, like, you want market research, like you can call YouGov.
00:44:46.680
If you're trying to understand a trend that might affect your business.
00:44:55.100
You know, you could spend $10,000 on a poll pretty easily.
00:45:00.400
You could even go, you know, you could spend more than that, a lot more than that if you
00:45:04.020
It's hard to get high-quality polling results these days.
00:45:11.260
I mean, their response rate at this point is less than 1%.
00:45:15.220
And so, you know, maybe we should go into this today because I discussed this last night.
00:45:21.420
Think of how hard it must be to project in the entire country of less than 1% of the people
00:45:26.460
you call actually pay attention to you and take your call.
00:45:30.920
Anytime my cell phone says something about, you know, it's a scam kind of operation, and
00:45:39.400
it comes up on the caller ID, I'm not going to answer.
00:45:44.980
Like, I've answered calls before, you know, not knowing who it was, and it will be like,
00:45:50.480
And my immediate assumption is it's actually some scam firm who wants to try to raise money
00:45:57.680
Some, you know, political action group that's like, we're asking a poll, do you think Donald
00:46:05.940
I must answer this poll and give you all of my information.
00:46:08.460
Like, that's a very common scam, particularly online.
00:46:12.720
And then they tell you, what we need you to do is go to Walmart and get a gift card.
00:46:16.640
Yeah, it's not going to happen, too, unfortunately.
00:46:20.240
So, yeah, I avoid every call because you're right.
00:46:23.320
A lot of them are just straight out scams or they're people trying to get your money.
00:46:27.220
So, every once in a while, there's an actual pollster who calls and is trying to get actual
00:46:32.740
And I think conservatives are even less likely to want to answer, which is one of the reasons
00:46:36.880
why it seems like lately conservatives have been undercounted in these polls.
00:46:41.360
So, this guy was like, well, I want to find out what it is.
00:46:44.420
What she went on to discover with her poll led him to place the single largest bet ever
00:46:52.460
His wager that Donald Trump was going to win and win big.
00:46:55.940
The Frenchman being interviewed for the first time by, I believe, anybody said, I had conviction,
00:47:01.040
the high rolling whale told the reporter over the phone last week.
00:47:06.800
It sounds like it was, I remember the number 26 million.
00:47:11.320
I'm not positive, but I think he invested 26 million.
00:47:15.940
So, this is kind of an interesting story about why this guy had this confidence.
00:47:25.160
Because, I mean, you know, I study this stuff every day.
00:47:30.700
None of them were particularly certain about what was going to happen, right?
00:47:34.940
And especially in these swing states that all had election polls.
00:47:37.380
And you could look back at the results of those states, it feels a little bit like a blowout.
00:47:43.280
Someone called it like a very controlled landslide.
00:47:46.900
Because, I mean, you know, Trump needed to win one of those three blue wall states.
00:47:51.600
The biggest blowout of those three states was 1.7 points.
00:47:56.620
That was the biggest blowout of the states he needed to win.
00:48:01.840
It was a close election, even though Trump was able to sweep those seven states.
00:48:05.520
In our conversations by phone and mail, I discovered that the Frenchman was a traitor who wanted to go by the pseudonym Theo because he said disclosing his identity would disrupt my life as my family and friends are not aware of the extent of my wealth.
00:48:20.000
God, I want to say that sentence at some point.
00:48:23.000
My family and friends are not aware at the extent of my wealth.
00:48:33.320
And you know I don't have that much wealth if I want a shirt made with that on it.
00:48:39.800
He said it was also in danger of my safety and that of my kids, which is probably true if you're making this kind of money.
00:48:44.720
So, back in October, he was told that it was extremely difficult to gauge the preferences of shy voters.
00:48:52.520
But they got the results of this poll and he had wagered already, before he got the results of this poll, $30 million on the election.
00:49:02.040
He wound up upping it after getting the results of the poll to $80 million.
00:49:06.800
Now, for all the people who say, oh, you can't believe the polls.
00:49:09.580
I mean, there's some argument here to say maybe he can in certain circumstances because he bet an extra $50 million on this, wound up bringing home a total of $85 million in profit off of Donald Trump's victory.
00:49:24.120
Now, the way these things work, there's a bunch of these markets out there, prediction markets.
00:49:29.320
We use them as part of the Pulsecast that we put together for this election cycle.
00:49:35.640
Polly Market is a cryptocurrency exchange, a cryptocurrency betting market that you can go and put an unlimited amount of money on anything.
00:49:45.920
And there are all sorts of different contracts and it's all done through crypto.
00:49:51.560
It is not regulated in the United States, so you can't bet on it if you're in the U.S.
00:49:57.600
There is an exchange in the U.S. called Calci that just got approval for election betting like a month before the election.
00:50:05.240
So they were like, you know, they went really fast to get everything on.
00:50:08.460
They have a million different types of things you can bet on or invest in or hedge your business.
00:50:15.080
You know, like there's a lot of different things.
00:50:16.780
Their maximum bet, I think, is $100 million on any specific thing.
00:50:23.240
Well, that is, these things are coming and they're going to be a big part of our economy because it is, you know, forever, like, you know, you could talk about, you could bet unlimited amounts on grain futures and no one cares, right?
00:50:37.840
What about things that maybe you or I know something about, you know?
00:50:40.880
I mean, obviously, sports betting is something that is, you know, seen more as gambling where, like, you're talking about this stuff, like, you know, you do deep polling on an election that other people don't have.
00:50:53.580
You probably have an advantage to predict who's going to win.
00:51:06.300
Of course, he had a lot of money to begin with to risk.
00:51:09.120
That is one of the things, you know, it is easy.
00:51:12.460
One of the reasons you try to get wealthy, Pat, is something that I've learned over the years.
00:51:18.740
The more money you have, the more money you can make.
00:51:22.520
This is one of the main reasons you do it and you don't spend it all on prostitutes, right?
00:51:30.260
Again, there's multiple reasons on the prostitute thing, but you try to get your money, you keep your money, you invest your money,
00:51:36.640
and you're able to make more money and you maybe can work less or you can give money away to charities that you appreciate.
00:51:44.480
You can buy lots of Kexi cookies at Kexi.com for the holidays.
00:51:56.420
You also can give it to your children and they can give them an easier life.
00:52:00.960
Like, there's a lot of reasons to try to get money and it's always vilified by the media.
00:52:08.900
Yeah, well, you know, of course, being selfish has a bad rep.
00:52:15.320
You know, there's a book by Ayn Rand called The Virtue of Selfishness.
00:52:19.020
And it sort of acknowledges the, if you define selfishness the right way, it sort of acknowledges such a truth,
00:52:29.280
which is you kind of have to, like, be responsible for your own actions and your own financial security and your own, the security of your family.
00:52:40.400
That doesn't mean the bad parts of selfishness, which is, you know, only interest in yourself and at the expense of others.
00:52:49.400
That's not really what we're talking about here.
00:52:51.640
But you do have to actually, you know, take responsibility for your own life.
00:52:55.680
Like, I mean, I just, the left loves to manipulate that and make it seem like it's a bad thing.
00:53:02.480
Well, no, you've got to be able to take care of your family.
00:53:08.100
Well, and I guess they think there shouldn't be, you know, you should be altruistic completely and not worry about yourself, just worry about others.
00:53:20.920
You're the one that should be altruistic to their causes.
00:53:24.680
Like, you should be giving all of your money to, I don't know, trans rights or something.
00:53:42.700
Hey, Michelle, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
00:53:46.980
Hey, you were discussing that poor little two-year-old and how they'll find their parents.
00:53:53.000
I worked in a local jail for many years, and we didn't track immigration status.
00:53:59.920
We would manually pull up a daily commitment and either fax it to the ICE office or email
00:54:07.740
And if they suspected someone, they would send a field agent from two hours away to come
00:54:15.620
In 2024, we need an Elon Vivek, Tom Homan tech answer to this gaping hole so you know who's
00:54:23.400
reporting, not reporting, can't report, or refusing to report.
00:54:26.660
And if we don't seriously track the ones we've had in custody, they're never going to find
00:54:38.760
I know we don't love the idea of government tracking, typically.
00:54:42.880
Like, that's not the conservative approach to things.
00:54:45.180
But like, as a price to pay for being an illegal immigrant, certainly, it's not something I
00:54:54.180
Like, you know, it should be a disincentive for coming illegally.
00:54:58.760
And if you do come here illegally, and we are unable for whatever legal reason, and there
00:55:02.840
are sometimes struggles with this, to immediately deport you, that is absolutely something we should
00:55:12.880
Hey, Pat, Stu, I had an elimination for y'all for this whole political thing, is I've listened
00:55:19.280
to y'all when y'all were in Florida, and you should have did a Kamala Harris moron trivia.
00:55:25.520
Which, you know, I would have went with a convenience store worker on that one, but...
00:55:29.720
Yeah, because that was our plan, if we ever got her on the air for an interview, would
00:55:32.720
just ask her really basic questions about the country and see if she can answer any of
00:55:55.220
Okay, you know, whenever you're driving, your wife is sitting there right next to you telling
00:55:58.540
you every little turn you missed, or how you're going too fast or too slow, or yelling at you
00:56:03.720
for dozing off for just, you know, just a second.
00:56:10.540
Too bad she can't be using all that high-powered perception at the gun range, because she's
00:56:16.720
But for you at the gun range, you know, maybe she needs a little bit of help.
00:56:25.240

00:57:35.100
I just wanted to mention that biggest sale of the year happens Friday.
00:57:38.840
Black Friday through Cyber Monday, our biggest sale ever.
00:57:42.600
And then there's lightning deals on top of the, I think it's 20%.
00:57:45.280
There will also be special deals that last 15 minutes throughout, 15 minutes throughout
00:58:04.120
Jackie brought that home once last week and I think my glucose went up to about 7,300.
00:58:21.560
If you just came into, let's say, $85 million and you're looking for a place to spend it,
00:58:27.180
And you wouldn't even need to spend it all there, but a good portion could go to...
00:58:39.360
In fact, $85 million might get you the whole company and you can just have it all.
00:58:43.940
And then you could just stop making cookies completely.
00:58:56.920
Pat, I've listened to you guys for a long time.
00:59:00.000
Really quickly, you know how every year the president will pardon, you know, a turkey for Thanksgiving.
00:59:06.920
Well, this year, what are the chances Biden's going to start a new tradition by pardoning the turkey and the hunter?
00:59:21.620
A lot of people think that there was some kind of deal arranged between the two of them where they would pardon each other's interests.
00:59:30.180
Like, for instance, Biden would pardon Trump before he leaves and then Trump would pardon Hunter because Biden said he wasn't going to pardon his son.
00:59:46.880
Can you imagine the amount of trust Joe Biden would have to have in that situation?
00:59:56.720
Honestly, like, if I were Biden, I would think about pardoning Trump, not because it's like this moment of, like, altruism, but in a moment of, like, you know, like, almost like, you know, it would give you that.
01:00:10.960
Some people would make it feel like it was altruistic, but in reality, I think it would be, like, just drawing attention to this guy who you say committed crimes, right?
01:00:22.880
You were the one going after him in the first place.
01:00:26.540
But, and then if you paired that with Hunter, maybe you take the sting off of the Hunter part of it.
01:00:35.340
But it would be, what a great way for the nation to heal if he would do that.
01:00:45.240
I don't think he's interested in that, necessarily.
01:00:48.260
But I think it would be a healing mechanism for the country.
01:01:03.760
Jack Smith, if you hadn't heard, Jack Smith, he dropped the charges.
01:01:10.280
And they did do it in a way that, theoretically, they could bring it up later.
01:01:14.100
But it would be past the statute of limitations on a lot of it anyway.
01:01:17.780
I mean, I just, I think at this point would be something they would be doing for nefarious purposes.
01:01:24.880
And I think that's pretty much why they do everything.
01:01:35.200
Hey, Patty, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.
01:01:38.420
Thank you for taking my call, and happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
01:01:42.140
You know, a little earlier, we had talked about The View, and I believe it was Joy who
01:01:45.680
talked about President Trump and the direction that the military could use lethal force against
01:01:51.700
However, there's a journalist who came out about a month ago, and he actually had talked about
01:02:00.820
And what actually was the directive was the Department of Defense 5240.01, that the military
01:02:07.200
could use lethal force against American citizens if the state or local officials needed their
01:02:14.720
They said it was a complete abuse of power, and it was in the body of the information.
01:02:20.440
There was also the people thought the First Amendment would hindrance to what their protocols
01:02:26.320
would really want to be, or how they want to make things run.
01:02:29.860
Hillary Clinton, Secretary Blinken, and John Kerry.
01:02:34.880
We love you, but we've got to take a quick break.
01:02:41.680

Now, actually, in the real version, you do not hear either one of our voices.
01:04:40.420
We said, hey, we'll sing this, then you imitate it, and then we'll release your imitation of
01:04:49.080
Yeah, because it was multi-track, and they just turned down our tracks.
01:04:55.460
Yeah, it's hard, you know, because she had to learn from the masters.
01:05:07.000
He didn't want you to know that, because, you know, he quote-unquote produced the album.
01:05:13.860
And, but, so you're not going to quite, if you turn it up really loud, maybe you can
01:05:20.380
But you have to listen to it on repeat over and over again at full volume.

Yeah, but I highly recommend you do that and search for it.
01:05:28.500
It's going to be on your streaming, wherever you stream your music, on Friday, just a couple
01:05:34.440

01:05:57.180
It's available on blazeoriginals.com slash stew.
01:06:03.780
It's my documentary I did with the Blaze Originals team.
01:06:07.920
And from what I gather, you discovered everything's fine, right?
01:06:15.880
About 30 seconds of setup and I was just like, actually, everything's fine.
01:06:19.160
Well, it's funny because, you know, in some ways, it's never been safer to fly, right?
01:06:43.080
There aren't even companies to make replacement parts for a lot of the stuff they're using.
01:06:49.860
And so, they're legitimately, like, now just building the parts themselves.
01:06:54.920
Because these companies don't even exist anymore.
01:07:00.660
And the reason why they picked Countdown to the next aviation disaster is just that because, yeah, like, we've had a good run here.
01:07:10.700
Because it seems like it was right around the corner.
01:07:17.480
We were talking, Pat, a little bit about the polls last hour...
01:07:28.340
They get a lot of flack, but they weren't that bad.
01:07:33.360
And, like, because it's part of my job to go through them all the time, they often complain to me about them.
01:07:40.280
When it comes to November every four years, about 85% of the conversations I have are revolving around polls and whether they are good or bad or whether we should listen to them or not.
01:07:51.400
And I'm always convinced of the passion of the people who think we shouldn't listen to them.
01:08:02.040
It doesn't have to be part of your life at all, like, if you don't want it to be.
01:08:05.780
But I think people do like to know, kind of like a...
01:08:12.360
Like, you know, you don't need to know the line to enjoy the Super Bowl.
01:08:17.060
Hey, you know, this team's favored by four points.
01:08:20.080
But it's interesting to know, like, where these teams kind of set up and what we think might happen.
01:08:24.420
BYU was in an underdog this year in almost every game they played.
01:08:31.420
And they were an underdog in all but, I think, one of those games.
01:08:39.960
And it got to the point where I looked forward to them being the underdog because it was really firing them up.
01:08:51.560
But these particular pollsters turned out not to be.
01:08:56.440
Well, let me give you a setup for this first about how angry people get at polls.
01:09:01.180
This clip is from the day after the election, I think, or was it the night of the election?
01:09:10.140
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to The Daily Show.
01:09:13.320
We don't, it hasn't been completely called yet.
01:09:16.740
We don't exactly know what all the results are going to be.
01:09:22.860
I do want to very quickly send a quick message to all the pollsters, the election pollsters.
01:09:58.260
First of all, one thing, and we've noted this before, Pat.
01:10:01.420
The entirety of the comedy of that clip is just him swearing.
01:10:05.300
There's not even an attempt at anything other than that.
01:10:12.320
Like, this guy's supposed to be the most skilled comedian of our time.
01:10:15.080
He makes 10 or 15 million for doing one show a week.
01:10:25.680
I'm very jealous of a person who could do one show a week.
01:10:30.280
I would love to be able to do one show a week and make $20 million for it.
01:10:44.520
I think a lot of this comes down to the one singular poll from Iowa, from Ann Selzer.
01:10:52.520
I mean, it basically destroyed her career, let's be honest about it.
01:10:56.520
And it should, because she had Kamala up by 14, right?
01:11:02.940
So it was a 16-point miss is probably where you're remembering that.
01:11:07.820
And she was sort of like the gold standard polling darling of a lot of the polling nerds.
01:11:18.560
And the other paper in Des Moines said, hey, we will shut down our operation if that turns out to be true.
01:11:26.940
That's how confident they were that it was a screwy poll.
01:11:32.480
And by the way, her previous poll was almost as bad.
01:11:35.060
It was Trump plus four, which, I mean, you get less problem from people when you get the overall result correct, even if you miss by a lot.
01:11:44.420
People are usually pretty forgiving over that one.
01:11:46.640
But still, that would have been a terrible miss, too.
01:11:51.180
So that poll is going to be the thing that's remembered, I think, from this.
01:11:55.340
And if you go back to like 2016, people still talk about there's one poll in Wisconsin that had like Hillary Clinton up by like 14 or 16.
01:12:07.680
But like when you look at the polls overall, they did kind of fine.
01:12:13.860
Like, let me give you the real clear politics averages for all of these states going into the election.
01:12:19.460
This is the final averages from real clear politics.
01:12:22.800
Arizona had real clear politics average Trump plus 2.8.
01:12:29.780
So missed by a couple of points, but the correct winner.
01:12:47.920
I mean, you're borderline on the margin of error there, but the correct result.
01:13:04.700
Trump plus 1.2 points on the real clear politics average.
01:13:13.980
Well, within the margin of error, got the winner correct.
01:13:40.160
So that is the first state that they got wrong as far as winner.
01:13:43.940
But again, the miss there was 1.9 percentage points.
01:13:48.020
And it's like, well, I mean, it's within the margin of error.
01:13:53.860
Trump plus 1.2 was the prediction or the real clear politics average.
01:14:05.480
And the mistake actually went in Harris's favor in that one.
01:14:09.060
It was, she did a little bit better than the average.
01:14:22.360
All of them were generally speaking, thought of to be toss-up states.
01:14:26.340
These were the swing states everyone was talking about.
01:14:35.940
I think like one of the things we have to consider here is if we expect more out of polls than that, we're probably the problem.
01:14:49.920
They're not going to tell you every single detail.
01:14:51.940
They're not going to tell you what every, every single person, how they vote.
01:14:58.620
And, you know, I think a lot of times we look at this and we're like, oh, well, we, like the Harris, Michigan one where they called Harris plus 0.5.
01:15:07.320
To us, them predicting the wrong victor is the story.
01:15:13.060
You know, we can say, okay, well, they said Harris was going to win and Trump actually won.
01:15:16.580
But in reality, a 1.9% polling miss, when you have less than 1% of people who respond to these polls, it's actually incredible.
01:15:29.340
Like the fact that they could stake, I mean, the average miss here is less than like a point and a half.
01:15:37.700
And I mean, it's easy for us to say it's impressive when our guy won, right?
01:15:42.020
Like it's easy to say, okay, well, it's easy to be, you could see Jon Stewart there.
01:15:45.860
Who, you know, again, I am not exactly overwhelmed by his comedic efforts in that particular segment.
01:15:53.700
He's mad because he thought he was going to win.
01:15:59.700
And that's why a lot of times I think what we saw in, you know, 2020 in particular, people got angry at polls when the polls said Biden was going to win.
01:16:09.680
And, you know, Biden wound up becoming president.
01:16:12.340
So people were angry at that result and got angry and kind of spread that along to pollsters.
01:16:18.580
But I mean, if you look back at the pollsters record, they missed in 2016 and they missed in 2020.
01:16:26.600
I think you can look back and say, okay, 2016, you've got Donald Trump for the first time running.
01:16:34.320
He's a guy who was a reality show host a couple of years earlier.
01:16:40.980
I'm not shocked they missed that one, honestly.
01:16:43.740
Like it was, I don't think it was crazy for them to miss that one.
01:16:47.300
And then 2020, I mean, they called Biden winning and, of course, he became president.
01:16:54.400
The miss was actually worse in 2020 than it was in 2016 when it comes to actual raw numbers.
01:16:59.460
Like they missed some of those blue wall states pretty badly.
01:17:03.040
But because they had Biden up by eight and he won by one, they kind of skated a little bit on that miss.
01:17:12.320
You know, the country's locked down at that point.
01:17:15.260
Half the country is still at home at that point.
01:17:19.080
There was a big issue with calling Democrats who were at home taking phone calls when Republicans were out actually living their lives.
01:17:29.500
You wouldn't be shocked that they missed in 2020 or 2016.
01:17:42.060
Like for an industry that takes a beating as if they're like the tobacco companies of like the 1960s.
01:17:53.280
Frankly, like considering all the limitations, the cost, how difficult this is to do.
01:18:03.500
You're listening to the swingin' sounds of Glenn Beck.
01:18:29.340
Oh, almost 30 years ago now, I bought my first gold with Lear Capital.
01:18:35.080
Now I wish I really would have spent some more on that and not listened to all the naysayers.
01:18:39.180
You know, I'm all about education and that's why I choose Lear.
01:18:42.260
They have a new report on the U.S. debt, de-dollarization, and gold.
01:18:46.240
It was written to help you make intelligent decisions on how to protect and grow your wealth.
01:18:50.520
There's even a section on how to protect your IRA and 401k.
01:18:54.320
After reading this report, I urge you to buy gold.
01:18:57.780
And if you already own gold or silver, you might want to consider getting some more.
01:19:03.680
Lear is the company that I trust to help you secure the one hard asset that has stood the test of time.
01:19:19.420
Tell them I sent you and they're going to put $250 in your account to help you get started.
01:19:25.280
Old Mr. Kringle is soon going to jingle the bells that'll tinkle while you're traveling.

01:20:09.100
When did Piers Morgan become somewhat, I don't know, at least conservative friendly?
01:20:15.500
I remember him on CNN and us playing clips from him on a fairly regular basis.
01:20:31.080
It's the gun thing that probably set us off most.
01:20:34.220
But he seemed like he was liberal on almost everything.
01:20:38.120
I mean, he's had Glenn on a bunch of times recently.
01:20:43.380
Didn't he go through some, like, I don't want to say scandal.
01:20:46.500
I don't think that's necessarily the right word.
01:21:01.400
So I don't mean to be overly skeptical of Piers there.
01:21:09.660
Was it that he was sort of sane on COVID, maybe?
01:21:13.700
Like, that's one of the things that happened with Elon Musk.
01:21:16.660
They were like, no, you can't open your factory.
01:21:22.380
And I think that was one of the things that started off his transition.
01:22:20.220
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:22:29.760
You know, we've actually made some headway of late.

01:22:55.580
And with the holidays near, it's time to think about the cherished moments.

01:24:20.500
Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies,
01:24:26.480
becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called woke initiatives.
01:24:32.280
Anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robbie Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations' woke policies,
01:24:39.000
said on X that he warned Walmart last week that he would be doing a story on wokeness at the retail giant.
01:24:46.940
Instead, Starbucks shared, we had a productive conversation to find solutions.
01:24:52.260
I actually really like the way this story is working out.
01:24:58.220
Sure, it's fun to say we're never going to go to Walmart and we're never going to buy Bud Light and we're never going to do another Disney movie and all that.
01:25:29.860
But, you know, Disney, I know, you're not quite as crazy as Glenn when it comes to the Disney stuff.
01:25:37.000
But, you know, I appreciate some Disney products.
01:25:39.080
They do put out a lot of good entertainment, not a lot that isn't good, but a lot that is.
01:25:44.740
And then, you know, Bud Light's another example of this.
01:25:47.800
Bud Light was the least egregious, I think, of all these companies.
01:25:54.480
It bothers me a little bit, but I've never thought that was as big a deal as others.
01:26:05.300
But, like, they didn't, like, put Dylan Mulvaney as, like, the central piece of their advertising.
01:26:12.240
They sent the dude a bottle with his face on it.
01:26:16.940
Is it kind of, like, it's annoying and pandering to me.
01:26:22.480
But, like, the reason why I didn't think it was nearly as egregious as some of the other examples,
01:26:26.660
like, for example, Disney we've talked about, is they were targeting kids.
01:26:30.580
They were advertising a product that is only legal to be consumed by adults.
01:26:34.840
And the most egregious part of the Bud Light situation was, what's her face?
01:26:40.060
The marketing person, Haverschneider, whatever her name was.
01:26:48.260
That they were, she essentially said that they were backward and we needed to move on.
01:27:01.980
The fact that they weren't targeting kids with it was a good line.
01:27:13.680
Like, every single person any conservative has ever liked is now part of the Bud Light campaign.
01:27:24.140
And I do think, like, there are some, and this is another separation point between Bud Light
01:27:29.960
and, let's say, a Disney or, you know, I don't know, what's the stupid ice cream, Ben and
01:27:34.560
Jerry's or something, or, you know, Patagonia or one of these, like, those are liberal companies.
01:27:41.120
Liberal companies that also do other things like sell ice cream.
01:27:45.240
And, you know, Bud Light is a beer company, a company that wants to get your money.
01:27:50.840
They are a good capitalist company, generally speaking, that misled themselves into thinking
01:27:57.440
it was good capitalism to hang out with Dylan Mulvaney.
01:28:06.780
Like, I, like, if, because I remember when, when all this Bud Light stuff was happening,
01:28:17.020
And, you know, they ordered some food, some DoorDash or Uber Eats or something came in.
01:28:35.640
And, like, he stopped in the middle of saying it.
01:28:40.540
Like, it was like a, you know, everyone was busting on him for even having.
01:28:52.280
When you're having a gathering of friends, they're like, I don't want to even be seen having a Bud Light.
01:29:01.360
And they had the same situation where they had, like, you know, you have a bunch of beers at the bar.
01:29:07.480
And people go, they had, like, Coors Light and Miller Light and Bud Light.
01:29:15.180
No one wanted to walk around the wedding holding the Bud Light.
01:29:18.100
And, like, you know, again, I thought the punishment was not necessarily fit to the crime in that particular case.
01:29:25.720
Though it did send a very powerful message and a very important message to a lot of these companies who, unless they're ideologically leftist, like Disney seems to be right now.
01:29:38.160
And they prioritize having, you know, lesbian vampires instead of telling a story about Star Wars, you know, if they are the ones that are, you know, making, what's the movie that's coming out with the actress who just keeps saying more and more insane woke things in the press?
01:29:58.860
They're doing the Snow White reboot or whatever.
01:30:03.240
But, like, they're more dedicated to that than making money.
01:30:06.400
They're more dedicated to that than entertaining your kids or having a message.
01:30:11.900
Their dedication is not even the craft of the product.
01:30:22.860
And Bud Light, I just feel like, you know, okay, they've done that.
01:30:25.400
But now Walmart, who, again, is obviously a company that has to connect with people in the middle of the country, lots of conservatives.
01:30:39.840
One of the most amazing things capitalism's ever produced, frankly.
01:30:44.040
I mean, when I walk into a Walmart, a lot of, you know, some people are like, oh, I can't believe this.
01:30:50.380
Some people get angry at, like, oh, well, a lot of this stuff isn't, you know, made in America.
01:30:55.380
Like, there's all sorts of complaints about Walmart.
01:31:02.300
Honestly, like, I walk into that place, I'm like, can you imagine the amount of effort from people all over the world?
01:31:11.960
Most of them don't know how to actually make the entire product they're making.
01:31:16.720
I mean, this is a little bit of an iPencil type of rant.
01:31:21.300
How do all these products get into the same place in the middle of, like, my town?
01:31:33.640
Like, I think it's a legitimate miracle that these places even exist.
01:31:40.000
I think it's incredible that this stuff even occurs in the world.
01:31:45.160
Most of human history has been filled with people starving to death all over the place all the time.
01:31:49.560
And now you can walk into Walmart and get, like, fully cooked meals for, like, 18 cents.
01:31:57.160
Yeah, one of the big knocks on Walmart is that so many of the shoppers there are overfed.
01:32:04.040
Like, now we have this big thing about, like, you can't have processed foods.
01:32:09.060
Like, obviously, every food, you know, every food at some level is processed.
01:32:13.080
I mean, this is kind of a stupid word, honestly.
01:32:17.620
If you're cooking something, you've processed it.
01:32:20.720
Like, unless you're pulling it off of a tree, most likely it's been processed in some way.
01:32:25.260
But, like, the real reason that processed foods can be a problem for people is because they're calorie dense.
01:32:33.720
And so, you know, they're not – they're delicious a lot of times.
01:32:40.160
And you can eat – you can go through a lot of them without a lot of effort.
01:32:45.580
And all those other things around what we call processed foods are what typically wind up being the issue with it and why a lot of people look a little overfed at Walmart.
01:32:54.240
All this to say, by the way, that, like, I want to like Walmart.
01:33:05.160
That's because Walton was spinning in his grave with the things that they've been doing lately.
01:33:09.820
Same, you know, with Walt Disney, with Disney products.
01:33:16.260
But the good news is there are other companies coming around, too, and seeing light.
01:33:23.260
They have stopped participating in external culture surveys, such as the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index.
01:33:36.040
Harley-Davidson, scaling back their DEI programs.
01:33:45.920
Molson Coors, one of the companies that scaled back their initiatives.
01:33:52.480
I was really surprised that Target is scaling this back because they seem pretty committed to this stuff.
01:34:00.360
Zoom, tractor supply company, and Snap are just a few of the others that have scaled back their DEI programs.
01:34:11.220
You know, the fact that it's not like us just whining and getting mad.
01:34:25.900
Like, I much rather would, like, I like capitalism.
01:34:30.080
You know, I like the idea of being able to work with a company to solve a problem like this.
01:34:34.880
You know, because, like, look, it's easy for us to say, like, oh, God, this stuff's crazy.
01:34:39.160
But when you're running a multi-billion dollar corporation and you're getting pressure from left-wing organizations, like, it's not easy.
01:34:46.140
You don't know which way to deal with this a lot of times.
01:34:48.320
Now, if you have, if you are a founder, it's easy for the Blaze to do it.
01:34:53.220
We here at Blaze TV have no problem with those issues.
01:34:56.320
Why the second they're suggested we laugh them out of the room?
01:34:59.380
Because we're essentially an ideological company.
01:35:02.100
Like, we come from a conservative perspective and our business is saying what we believe and not caring if you don't like us.
01:35:10.100
That's not the business of Walmart or Bud Light or Disney.
01:35:13.240
Like, they're supposed to be trying to please everybody and that they buy their products.
01:35:17.380
And, like, this is, like, sometimes you can see people get caught up in the wrong way to go.
01:35:22.160
And the fact that, like, and this is Robbie Starbuck, it's a great effort, man, to be able to go in there and go to Walmart.
01:35:29.920
Here's some of the changes, by the way, on Walmart.
01:35:32.920
No longer participating in the HRC, that's the Human Rights Council's, Woke Corporate Equality Index.
01:35:41.860
But, like, when they participate in that, they have to try to please that algorithm.
01:35:46.400
So they would make all sorts of changes like, oh, we swear we're super woke.
01:35:52.060
Not participating in that is a massive change that will influence all sorts of the inner workings of their company.
01:35:59.960
Monitor the Walmart marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual or transgender products marketed to children.
01:36:07.220
Review all funding of Pride and other events to avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids.
01:36:16.400
We will not extend the racial equality, or equity, sorry, can't be equality, racial equity center, which was established in 2020 with a special five-year initiative.
01:36:28.400
We will evaluate supplier diversity programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity.
01:36:35.620
They will no longer use the term Latinx in official communications.
01:36:41.560
Walmart will discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute.
01:36:46.340
I mean, and again, the Racial Equity Institute and the Human Rights Council, all these things, it's an industry.
01:36:52.420
It's a multi, multi, multi-million dollar industry where these people come and they harass these companies and they shake them down.
01:36:58.580
They say, just give us money and you'll be able to check this box.
01:37:01.600
And a lot of them are like, all right, whatever, we'll do it.
01:37:12.200
It's time to take your firearms training to the next level with Mantis X.
01:37:16.420
If you're not a gun owner, you probably should be.
01:37:18.860
But if you happen to be a gun owner and you know keeping up on your firearms training is an important responsibility.
01:37:23.760
So you go to the range when you can, you practice when you can, and then you cry when you realize the cost of the ammunition and range fees that you're using.
01:37:32.140
But with Mantis X, you can be improving your shot, whether you're firing live ammunition or just dry firing.
01:37:38.180
And that means you can practice even at home, which is great.
01:37:41.680
It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military.
01:37:51.260
You connect it with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
01:37:55.080
And then wherever you're actually firing actual rounds or even dry firing at home, it will give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.
01:38:04.380
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.
01:38:08.900
Be a responsible gun owner and increase your competence and your confidence with Mantis X.
01:38:16.300
A great gift for the Second Amendment lover and your family for this Christmas.
01:38:45.980
I read this interesting article about what the first Thanksgiving was really like.
01:38:53.100
I'm glad you went that way because you said, what the f-
01:38:58.400
I don't know what's going on over there at Pat Gray Unleashed these days.
01:39:06.340
Every November, you know, we go through this where people are trying to reposition Thanksgiving and what happened between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans and all that stuff.
01:39:25.060
What they say is that this story is more simplified with what kids are taught in school.
01:39:35.320
So what really happened on that first Thanksgiving in 1621?
01:39:39.860
According to a historian, David J. Silverman, he says, the missing parts of the story are quite dark and not the stuff of family celebrations.
01:39:48.780
In 1620, about 100 religious pilgrims left England on the Mayflower.
01:39:55.360
And they, in 1621, wanted to celebrate the fact that they were still alive.
01:40:02.700
So the Thanksgiving myth that many Americans have been brought up with would have us believe that the English were lucky enough to stumble upon friendly Indians.
01:40:11.800
But in reality, the Wampanoag were willing, the tribe, were willing to form a military alliance because disease had recently decimated their populations and made them more vulnerable to their enemies.
01:40:27.900
Although scholars didn't know what the disease was, they do know it came from Europeans.
01:40:35.620
How do they know that if they don't know what the disease was?
01:40:42.680
But they'd been in contact with Europeans for over a century and had made these pacts with them.
01:40:48.960
Now, it surprises me that they're talking about this military alliance that the Native Americans got into because they were having trouble with some other tribes.
01:41:00.960
And there was some wiping out going on on both sides.
01:41:04.800
Whereas, usually, what is presented to us is that the Native Americans were saints in loincloth and the pilgrims were savage serial killers.
01:41:17.920
So I just found it surprising that that's not the way this story actually was.
01:41:24.980
I was expecting to read that the English lured the Indians in, tied them up, and then doused them in a giant vat of smallpox and sent them free on the rest of the tribes in the area to kill everybody there.
01:41:40.700
So it's nice to hear that maybe there's some actual history being taught now, being discussed, being published, rather than the Europeans were terrible and they brought nothing but death to the Native Americans.
01:42:05.580
So let me ask you a related but somewhat different question here, Pat.
01:42:19.080
You seem really optimistic about what's going on.
01:42:31.480
We mentioned this quite a few times after the election.
01:42:35.940
And now these kinds of things where companies are backing away from DEI, stories are coming out that are closer to the truth of what history actually happened in this country.
01:42:56.300
It's been a rough four years, and we could use a break.
01:43:00.380
We've just been beaten over the head for the last four years.
01:43:03.880
I mean, you go back to 2020, it was rough, man.
01:43:08.900
It took a long time for us to get back to on our feet, really, at all.
01:43:16.420
I mean, like the Doge thing, I really want to be optimistic about it.
01:43:22.020
Let's just pretend everything's going to be fine forever.

As the mainstream media perpetuates the left's insanity, we're helping you fight back one
01:44:38.640
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful, and since we've
01:45:08.040
no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, it felt almost cold
01:45:14.520
enough to snow here in the Metroplex today, this morning.
01:45:19.780
37, which actually makes it two degrees colder than Glenn keeps the studio normally.
01:45:24.700
Which is, usually it's warmer outside, even in the dead of winter.
01:45:33.580
Um, I got a list here of the cabinet positions that have been, uh, filled with nominees so
01:45:44.460
Um, tell me which of these you think will definitely be confirmed and which will not.
01:45:58.500
I think that's going to be the easiest of the confirmations.
01:46:07.940
Uh, I wouldn't say definite, but I would say most likely yes.
01:46:13.620
I'll, yeah, I put that one at 90-something percent.
01:46:21.020
I think he's, he's a little bit, you know, people see him as a, he's a personal lawyer
01:46:26.780
of Trump's, and so there could be a little bit of, you know.
01:46:35.340
Um, you've talked, you've raved about him in the past multiple times.
01:46:54.560
You know, I, I'm not as sure as everybody is on this one.
01:47:00.340
And I, I, you may have heard there are just a couple of skeletons in the closet of every
01:47:14.420
The question, I guess my big issue here on this one is do the, does the left want to
01:47:22.060
I mean, if, if I were like, let's put it this way.
01:47:24.540
If we, let's say Kamala Harris won and there was some important position and the person
01:47:32.560
they were nominating was someone who has always been on our side since birth.
01:47:38.160
Was so much on, uh, on, uh, the opposition side of Kamala Harris was actually running
01:47:46.740
And agreed with us on almost everything in his entire portfolio of ideas.
01:47:54.120
And maybe called people on the left who disagreed with them traitors.
01:48:03.120
This is probably the best we're going to do here.
01:48:07.520
Because I think you may get some pushback from certain people on the right.
01:48:11.240
Um, I think he'll have his, his, the hearing of his personal issues, which if you think Matt
01:48:30.100
In his diary, I think there was 37 affairs he had on, on one of his wives who, by the
01:48:35.440
way, wound up finding the diary and killing herself over it.
01:48:39.540
Not to mention that even after all of this happened in the middle of a campaign, he had
01:48:44.880
another seemingly some sort of affair with a reporter who, uh, then got, uh, had her marriage
01:48:53.160
I mean, just the stuff they will, if they want to be able to dredge up against him, it will
01:48:59.440
Now, that doesn't mean you, he might think he's a great HHS secretary.
01:49:02.680
Um, this doesn't even include obviously some of his more controversial views on issues around
01:49:09.020
health and food and all those other things that I agree with some of, um, not all.
01:49:14.500
Um, but, uh, biggest problem with him is, you know, I mean, there's a lot, but my biggest
01:49:20.000
problem is probably the abortion situation because he might have some say in that as health
01:49:25.720
and human services will have a major say, you know, in that, uh, in fact, and that's an
01:49:31.460
issue because he's, he's an abortion right up to birth guy.
01:49:42.320
Um, this is by Michael new and it's called eight questions for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
01:49:47.340
And it's not like a, an attacking piece, but it's like, let me give you a couple of them.
01:49:51.940
Uh, a major reason why the U S abortion rate has increased since 2017 was in that FDA policy
01:49:59.900
regulations on chemical abortions have become more permissive in 2016, the FDA extended the
01:50:05.580
limit for chemical abortions from seven to 10 weeks and reduced the number of in-person
01:50:10.500
And these are like policies we didn't even discuss, right?
01:50:13.680
Like these are things that are happening inside HHS all the time.
01:50:17.580
They get no coverage on Fox news or talk radio or anywhere else.
01:50:20.880
They did so without properly studying the combined public health impact of these rule
01:50:27.980
Would you support revoking these policy changes?
01:50:30.880
Now, I think anyone who's pro-life would say, Oh, of course, like, you know, let's like
01:50:37.720
The FDA under the Biden administration continued the COVID era practice of allowing women to
01:50:42.840
obtain chemical abortion drugs through the mail.
01:50:45.080
Chemical abortions could be fatal to women with ectopic pregnancies and compose serious health
01:50:49.860
risks to women whose pregnancies are past the first trimester.
01:50:52.300
As HHS secretary, would you instruct the FDA to require an in-person medical exam for women
01:50:59.500
Now, that's not a, that's not like taking some massive stand on abortion.
01:51:04.620
That's like, Hey, should there be some medical requirements attached to this?
01:51:08.320
Uh, you know, look, any person that Donald Trump would name in this job outside of RFK Jr.
01:51:14.000
I would be pretty confident they would make that change, right?
01:51:22.560
Um, let me, uh, there's an, uh, I mean, a lot of this was stuff like, for example, uh,
01:51:29.000
in 2019, HHS under the Trump administration instituted the protect life rule, which prevented
01:51:34.760
title X, uh, title X grantees, uh, title 10 grantees, I guess, um, from, uh, co-locating
01:51:40.800
abortion facilities or doing abortion referrals.
01:51:43.800
Unsurprisingly under the Biden administration, HHS rolled back the protect life rule as HHS
01:51:51.340
Now, Trump actually implemented this himself when he was president, obviously it was important
01:52:04.200
And then you think about the way that this works.
01:52:06.040
This is a third of our budget, about $2 trillion.
01:52:09.640
He will be hiring thousands of people across these agencies over his tenure.
01:52:15.180
If he gets this job and like, you might say, well, I really don't like high fructose corn
01:52:23.000
I, I, I, at least I don't really care about high fructose corn syrup, honestly, but I
01:52:27.160
do not like the subsidies that lead us to be using it.
01:52:29.800
The reason why we have high fructose corn syrup are massive subsidies towards the corn
01:52:37.160
Um, but like that is one little tiny, tiny bit.
01:52:40.640
If you like, if you agree with him on whether it's the COVID vaccine or, uh, you know, whether
01:52:46.960
we should be eating Froot Loops or not, uh, whatever that, whatever that thing is that
01:52:51.700
you might agree with him on, realize that this job he's getting is massively more invasive
01:52:59.420
The Froot Loops thing is really important to me.
01:53:03.840
I can't, I can't, can we at least say the only thing I care about really Froot Loops
01:53:16.200
Canadian Froot Loops do not have three ingredients.
01:53:18.560
No, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
01:53:21.360
They have 27 ingredients, just like the United States has 27 ingredients.
01:53:26.340
Froot Loops cannot be made with three ingredients.
01:53:28.800
I mean, I guess you made them out of fruit, like if you legitimately shaped apples and
01:53:37.000
cut them in the, in, in little circles, perhaps.
01:53:40.560
If people looked into his background, I think they'd agree with him on a lot less than they
01:53:47.580
I think that's been true for a really long time.
01:53:51.600
The border right now, which he's sort of better on than it used to be.
01:53:59.840
I think, and I think the food thing is really attractive to people.
01:54:03.980
As you know, I'm one of the least healthy people.
01:54:09.700
But, and it's, but I do get how that, I think that does react to something.
01:54:12.880
I will say, just on a slight pushback on this one, what country are we here?
01:54:17.520
Like, are we a country that makes our own decisions about what we eat?
01:54:20.900
Are we a country that has a centralized government official tell us what we should and should be
01:54:28.160
From a personal freedom standpoint, like you should have the right, and I'm like with him
01:54:40.340
But you should be able to buy it if you want to.
01:54:41.920
You absolutely should be able to buy it if you want to.
01:54:44.680
And so I'm totally with him on that from a personal freedom perspective.
01:54:48.640
That being said, like, if you happen to agree with him on raw milk, that doesn't make him
01:54:54.820
Like, if you wanted to put him on a doge-like committee that was looking for things that
01:55:00.520
were problematic that Trump could then say, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, that would have
01:55:12.100
I think he's seen as a guy who right now did a lot for Trump, probably more than he actually
01:55:17.640
And I also think Democrats might come around to the idea that, like, hey, why wouldn't
01:55:23.360
We'll get, I don't know, 20 or 30 percent of the stuff that we want, and that's good.
01:55:27.360
Now, borders are, since that's not an actual cabinet position, is that even a real thing?
01:55:36.940
So, Defense Secretary Pete Heggseth, confirmed or not?
01:55:46.660
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical about RFK being confirmed.
01:55:55.760
But Pete Heggseth, I don't know he makes it either.
01:56:04.260
I think if Gates had tried to play this out all the way, it would have helped Pete because
01:56:10.740
Trump, though, has been hit with a lot of these false accusations.
01:56:14.320
Unless something, right now, I will say I think Heggseth gets through.
01:56:19.640
I think it's possible that some other accusation or something else comes out that makes it untenable,
01:56:39.720
And Burgum-mania has been part of my life for a very long time.
01:56:43.500
What I would say about Burgum is he's definitely-
01:56:49.840
On this show, when all of a sudden there was all these rumors about Doug Burgum getting
01:56:54.960
the vice presidential slot, I said specifically on this show, come on.
01:57:02.120
First of all, there's no way he's putting Doug Burgum on this ticket, number one.
01:57:05.740
Number two, Doug Burgum sounds like a Department of the Interior guy.
01:57:14.980
I don't even know what the Secretary of the Interior does, and I knew it was going to be
01:57:25.220
Like, if you need your home remodeled, spruced up a little bit, he comes over and gives you
01:57:34.840
He is, I think, generally speaking, well-liked, specifically by Republicans.
01:57:39.740
He thought it was boring, and he'll be great, and he'll definitely get through.
01:57:47.200
How about Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy?
01:57:53.120
Quick plug, again, countdown to the next aviation disaster, a new Blaze Originals, my documentary.
01:58:03.680
It's specifically talking about DEI in the skies, and this is something that Duffy has
01:58:08.780
specifically made, like his mission, to go out and get rid of all this stuff.
01:58:13.460
The documentary is a great blueprint on what you can do and what the problems are, but
01:58:18.000
the fact that he's focused on this, I'm excited about it.
01:58:21.700
And finally, Secretary of Commerce, or as Glenn would say, Secretary of Commerce.
01:58:38.820
But Scott Besant, for Secretary of Treasury, I think he probably will, because Democrats
01:58:50.900
I don't know his pivot point, as Glenn would also talk about pivot points, and I don't know
01:58:56.360
what his economic pivot point was to go from Soros guy to Trump guy.
01:59:03.560
So, I don't know enough about him to really be excited about him.
01:59:07.960
But there seems to be some issues there, from a conservative standpoint.
01:59:14.940
You kind of wish that you could find somebody that just didn't have that in their background.
01:59:18.900
But we have heard some good things about him, too.
01:59:22.520
And look, you know, I think with Trump, like, he's going to...
01:59:27.080
He obviously has such a big profile and can kind of move these people in certain ways.
01:59:35.260
And real quick, Director of National Intelligence, does Tulsi Gabbard get confirmed?
01:59:47.400
Glenn's newsletter is free and full of useful info delivered every day right to your inbox.
01:59:57.780

02:01:29.720
Okay, we were wondering about who's going to be confirmed here as far as Trump's cabinet nominations.
02:01:37.520
And we're up to Tulsi Gabbard, our intelligence director.
02:01:49.360
Do I think she's getting Mitch McConnell's vote?
02:01:53.120
I have to pick up some Democrats probably, but honestly, like, again, if I'm a Democrat.
02:01:59.100
I'm thinking to myself, she's been a Democrat most of her life.
