00:00:00.060 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:00:04.740 On Demand.
00:00:09.020 Glenn Beck.
00:00:10.700 Welcome to Black Friday.
00:00:13.380 Yes, it's the day for people
00:00:14.960 who actually have the energy
00:00:17.100 to get off their own couches
00:00:18.460 and go out to stores and shop.
00:00:20.960 People used to do these things.
00:00:22.240 Did you know that?
00:00:23.180 Did you know that?
00:00:24.100 Are there people that do that?
00:00:25.840 It's Stu with Jeffy here today
00:00:27.140 for Glenn Beck.
00:00:28.520 Apparently there are.
00:00:30.000 You know, I'm always amazed by this
00:00:32.500 because, first of all,
00:00:33.420 this is very difficult for me to do,
00:00:35.440 which is getting out of my house today
00:00:37.540 and coming in and doing a radio show
00:00:39.440 when I could be sleeping
00:00:40.620 and eating more leftovers.
00:00:43.460 And I barely have the energy to do this.
00:00:46.380 And this is a job where you just talk.
00:00:48.660 Like, there's no heavy lifting.
00:00:51.460 There's not a lot going on here.
00:00:54.140 But I'm amazed by people
00:00:55.480 who are able to do that.
00:00:56.320 And if that's you,
00:00:57.120 more power to you,
00:00:58.340 supporting the economy,
00:00:59.440 all those things.
00:01:01.440 Consumption, consumption, consumption.
00:01:03.180 I believe in it.
00:01:04.800 I'm actually,
00:01:05.680 I'm supportive of it.
00:01:07.320 And I think a lot of people
00:01:08.660 would disagree with that.
00:01:11.400 But there's a poll that came out.
00:01:13.260 I really don't.
00:01:14.700 I really think it's fantastic.
00:01:16.960 And the people always bash consumption.
00:01:18.700 They always say that this time of year
00:01:20.020 shouldn't be about the gifts.
00:01:21.140 And I guess that there are other things.
00:01:23.880 Right?
00:01:24.440 Certainly there are.
00:01:25.600 There are other things
00:01:26.400 other than stuffing your fat face
00:01:28.160 and putting presents under the tree.
00:01:32.520 There are other important things.
00:01:34.160 But there's nothing wrong with presents.
00:01:36.680 There's nothing wrong with the wonder
00:01:40.340 of the Thanksgiving dinner.
00:01:42.400 However,
00:01:44.620 one of the things that comes around
00:01:45.980 this time of year,
00:01:47.000 and it's popped its head up again,
00:01:49.520 is the idea that
00:01:50.940 stores are evil
00:01:52.620 for opening on Thanksgiving.
00:01:55.100 57% of people say
00:01:56.580 they are opposed
00:01:57.520 to stores being open on Thanksgiving,
00:01:59.500 getting Black Friday started early.
00:02:01.300 Only 16%
00:02:02.520 are in favor.
00:02:03.960 Well, you know what?
00:02:04.500 I am the 16%.
00:02:06.620 Okay?
00:02:08.080 I like the fact
00:02:10.180 that they're open on Thanksgiving.
00:02:12.420 And I think that there's this thing
00:02:13.960 where, you know,
00:02:15.120 we kind of look at this
00:02:15.860 and, you know,
00:02:17.880 politicians are now embracing this,
00:02:19.680 trying to shut down stores.
00:02:22.420 There's pressure groups assigned
00:02:24.460 to pressure these, you know,
00:02:27.880 retail outlets
00:02:29.120 to make sure that they're closed.
00:02:30.700 The latest one,
00:02:31.540 there's 70 now,
00:02:32.600 70 big stores will be closed
00:02:34.420 on Thanksgiving.
00:02:35.120 I mean,
00:02:36.480 there's a huge list of them
00:02:37.560 and, you know,
00:02:38.080 everything from
00:02:39.200 American Girl
00:02:40.560 to Lowe's
00:02:41.820 to Costco,
00:02:43.220 Crate and Barrel,
00:02:44.220 Dillard's.
00:02:45.040 Now, of course,
00:02:45.580 they were all closed yesterday,
00:02:46.660 so you didn't need to go there.
00:02:47.640 Now you can go there
00:02:48.340 and now you can spend your money
00:02:49.500 24 hours later
00:02:50.500 and apparently
00:02:51.420 that's going to make everything better.
00:02:53.880 But, you know,
00:02:54.720 if you're one of the people
00:02:55.520 that look at this
00:02:56.620 and say,
00:02:56.980 this just sounds like
00:02:57.880 an anti-capitalist argument,
00:03:00.500 well, congratulations,
00:03:01.900 you're right.
00:03:03.040 Now, this argument
00:03:03.820 comes almost exclusively
00:03:04.980 from the left,
00:03:05.660 although some people
00:03:06.260 on the right
00:03:06.680 kind of make it too.
00:03:07.580 And you can tell it's BS
00:03:09.280 because when is the last time
00:03:11.800 the left defended
00:03:12.840 traditional family values?
00:03:15.200 When is the last time
00:03:16.480 the left became
00:03:17.420 so incredibly passionate
00:03:19.500 about your Thanksgiving gathering
00:03:22.480 because they just couldn't get enough
00:03:25.580 of those good old family values?
00:03:28.820 How common is that?
00:03:30.240 Yes, sure,
00:03:31.500 they just happen
00:03:32.320 to be taking shots
00:03:33.560 at capitalism.
00:03:35.420 Sure,
00:03:35.560 they just happen
00:03:36.240 to be berating employers
00:03:38.760 and small businesses
00:03:40.160 around the country.
00:03:41.220 Sure,
00:03:41.520 they're doing that too,
00:03:42.420 but the real motivation
00:03:43.560 is they just love
00:03:44.880 those mashed potatoes so much.
00:03:47.320 They can't get enough of them.
00:03:48.680 They can't get enough
00:03:49.380 of a family dinner.
00:03:53.320 The left is not suddenly
00:03:54.740 for traditional values.
00:03:56.140 This is just yet another argument
00:03:57.580 against capitalism.
00:03:58.360 And I think a lot of people
00:04:00.120 would say,
00:04:00.520 well,
00:04:00.720 I don't think,
00:04:01.980 I don't want to go out
00:04:02.900 and go shopping on Thanksgiving.
00:04:04.380 I want to spend time
00:04:05.060 with my family.
00:04:05.980 Well,
00:04:06.260 good for you.
00:04:07.460 If that's you,
00:04:08.940 good for you.
00:04:10.640 Right?
00:04:11.900 But that does not mean
00:04:13.320 that that is good
00:04:14.180 for everybody.
00:04:16.200 Individuals make the choice.
00:04:19.120 Individuals get to make the choice.
00:04:20.480 They get to decide,
00:04:21.660 hey,
00:04:22.780 you know what?
00:04:23.900 My family happens to suck.
00:04:25.640 And maybe I don't want
00:04:27.700 to spend all day with them.
00:04:29.580 Maybe I want to leave
00:04:31.640 immediately
00:04:33.780 and get to a store
00:04:35.020 and it better be open
00:04:36.220 because I can't just drive around
00:04:37.480 in circles the whole day.
00:04:38.820 But I will.
00:04:39.440 But I will if I have to.
00:04:41.920 And,
00:04:42.460 you know,
00:04:42.980 look,
00:04:43.320 I happen to have a family I like,
00:04:45.800 but a lot of people don't.
00:04:47.480 A lot of people show up
00:04:48.480 to Thanksgiving dinner
00:04:49.540 and would love to have the excuse
00:04:51.200 of I've got to go to Lowe's.
00:04:53.080 There's a bracket I need
00:04:54.480 right now.
00:04:55.680 Some of us have family
00:04:56.700 that say,
00:04:57.100 isn't there something
00:04:57.600 you could be doing?
00:05:00.260 There's nothing wrong
00:05:01.120 with that either.
00:05:02.960 We don't,
00:05:03.500 this is the point.
00:05:04.180 When you're a,
00:05:04.660 when you're a conservative,
00:05:06.680 when you're a person
00:05:07.820 who believes,
00:05:09.100 who's an individualist,
00:05:10.500 we don't make mass decisions
00:05:11.980 for everybody.
00:05:12.900 If a store wants
00:05:13.920 to stay closed,
00:05:14.600 well, fine,
00:05:15.200 let them stay closed.
00:05:16.120 If they want to open,
00:05:17.080 let them open.
00:05:18.440 You're not losing anything
00:05:19.600 by allowing people
00:05:20.760 to make decisions
00:05:21.380 on their own.
00:05:22.000 If you don't want
00:05:23.940 to go shop,
00:05:24.960 don't go and shop.
00:05:28.820 And this is,
00:05:29.840 of course,
00:05:30.440 you know,
00:05:30.720 typical progressivism here
00:05:32.200 where you're able to,
00:05:33.840 you know,
00:05:33.960 they're going to make
00:05:34.340 decisions for you.
00:05:35.920 Now,
00:05:36.400 I think the argument goes,
00:05:38.460 because that's too easy,
00:05:39.640 right?
00:05:39.820 Like they know
00:05:40.440 they're going to lose
00:05:40.920 that argument.
00:05:41.720 So the argument goes,
00:05:43.160 well,
00:05:43.340 what we're doing
00:05:44.000 is we're just protecting
00:05:45.600 the worker.
00:05:46.380 you see what happens
00:05:47.760 is someone goes,
00:05:48.560 gets a job at Lowe's
00:05:50.020 and they have to work
00:05:53.180 and therefore are,
00:05:56.440 you know,
00:05:57.900 forced to go to work
00:05:59.240 when they don't want to.
00:06:00.060 They can't spend time
00:06:00.880 with their family
00:06:01.400 because these evil corporations,
00:06:03.260 they want you to work,
00:06:04.840 right?
00:06:05.160 These evil profit seekers
00:06:06.920 want to make sure
00:06:07.920 they want to force
00:06:08.780 the average Joe
00:06:10.320 to go work
00:06:11.320 instead of having
00:06:12.200 a turkey dinner at home.
00:06:13.840 And again,
00:06:15.320 it's clear by the way
00:06:16.820 they talk about it
00:06:17.540 that it reveals
00:06:18.500 it's just a shot
00:06:19.860 against capitalism,
00:06:20.540 right?
00:06:21.100 I mean,
00:06:21.320 like these evil corporations,
00:06:23.460 this is the same standard crap
00:06:24.980 you hear about the,
00:06:25.600 you know,
00:06:25.780 the minimum wage
00:06:26.680 and the corporate income tax
00:06:29.120 and every other,
00:06:30.460 oh,
00:06:30.580 they want to cut regulations?
00:06:32.100 Well,
00:06:32.240 what about the average Joe
00:06:33.300 who's protected
00:06:33.840 by those regulations?
00:06:34.640 It's the same argument.
00:06:37.280 But it is important
00:06:39.000 to realize that
00:06:39.960 you have to look at this
00:06:41.500 in multiple ways.
00:06:42.400 First of all,
00:06:42.940 if you have,
00:06:43.440 if you are an employee
00:06:44.880 who works at a place
00:06:46.620 that is open on Thanksgiving,
00:06:47.660 you do have a choice.
00:06:48.940 You do.
00:06:50.000 Just like if you want
00:06:51.300 free abortions
00:06:54.040 covered by your work health care
00:06:55.880 and free contraception
00:06:58.340 covered by your work health care,
00:06:59.980 you have a choice
00:07:00.820 to go to another employer.
00:07:02.280 The progressive argument
00:07:03.700 on that fact is,
00:07:04.500 no,
00:07:04.740 every employer
00:07:05.380 has to offer these things,
00:07:07.220 right?
00:07:07.620 Right.
00:07:07.840 But you actually have a choice,
00:07:09.600 right?
00:07:10.020 Conservatives believe
00:07:10.820 the employer
00:07:11.680 should have the choice
00:07:12.400 and if you decide
00:07:13.280 you don't want to work
00:07:13.820 for that employer,
00:07:14.340 you go to another one.
00:07:15.800 And you might say,
00:07:16.660 well,
00:07:17.440 you know,
00:07:18.240 first of all,
00:07:18.820 most employees
00:07:19.960 work under an employer
00:07:22.040 that is closed on Thanksgiving.
00:07:23.420 Almost all businesses
00:07:24.400 are closed on Thanksgiving.
00:07:26.680 And that only gives you
00:07:28.000 the choice of
00:07:28.520 almost all employers
00:07:29.880 when you're looking
00:07:30.660 for a job.
00:07:31.280 I understand
00:07:33.740 that you might
00:07:35.480 be really annoyed.
00:07:37.280 I know that
00:07:37.760 we've had,
00:07:38.660 in my family,
00:07:39.780 we've had,
00:07:40.560 there's always multiple
00:07:41.600 Thanksgivings going on
00:07:42.760 and we would adjust
00:07:44.000 the time of Thanksgiving.
00:07:45.680 Wait,
00:07:46.380 what?
00:07:47.160 Lots of Thanksgivings.
00:07:48.580 But, you know,
00:07:48.860 you have family members,
00:07:49.640 right?
00:07:49.760 You have one side
00:07:50.700 of the family
00:07:51.000 has Thanksgiving
00:07:51.440 at one place,
00:07:52.260 one side has another place
00:07:53.340 and a lot of people
00:07:54.580 are bouncing back and forth.
00:07:55.720 They're going to multiple houses,
00:07:56.820 right?
00:07:57.840 And we would adjust
00:07:58.680 the times
00:07:59.360 to make sure
00:08:00.440 that those meals
00:08:01.160 coincided when people
00:08:02.580 were available.
00:08:03.560 There'd be an earlier one
00:08:04.520 and a later one.
00:08:05.280 Because perhaps
00:08:06.000 someone had to work.
00:08:07.700 Right,
00:08:07.920 maybe someone had to work.
00:08:08.540 I can be there
00:08:09.440 after four.
00:08:10.360 Okay.
00:08:10.880 Okay,
00:08:11.200 that's when we have dinner.
00:08:12.140 If you're important enough,
00:08:13.360 if it's that important.
00:08:15.180 Otherwise,
00:08:15.740 it's like,
00:08:16.040 yeah,
00:08:16.200 with leftovers
00:08:16.760 are in the kitchen.
00:08:17.440 Exactly.
00:08:18.040 Good to see you.
00:08:18.720 You learn a little bit
00:08:19.580 about your standing
00:08:20.220 in the family
00:08:20.700 when they're like,
00:08:21.280 yeah,
00:08:21.480 well,
00:08:21.720 the mashed potatoes,
00:08:22.400 they're still kind of warm.
00:08:23.580 They're sitting on the counter.
00:08:24.380 We were going to wait,
00:08:25.260 but we didn't.
00:08:25.780 But the other side
00:08:27.860 of this too is
00:08:28.520 ask employees.
00:08:30.340 Ask people who work
00:08:31.280 in retail
00:08:31.660 who are not always
00:08:32.680 the most highly
00:08:33.560 compensated employees
00:08:34.760 in America.
00:08:36.180 When they're making
00:08:36.860 10 bucks an hour
00:08:39.040 working at a retail job,
00:08:40.860 ask them if they want
00:08:41.800 to make $20 an hour
00:08:43.000 for one day.
00:08:44.260 If they want to make
00:08:45.140 time and a half
00:08:46.300 or double time
00:08:47.040 or in some cases
00:08:47.800 triple time
00:08:48.660 for working on Thanksgiving,
00:08:49.880 we're going to take
00:08:50.440 that choice away
00:08:51.300 from the employees.
00:08:52.260 The employees that are
00:08:53.160 not the highest earning
00:08:54.080 in our society,
00:08:55.140 we're going to take
00:08:55.680 that away from them
00:08:56.380 because it makes us
00:08:57.440 feel good about
00:08:58.120 traditional family values
00:08:59.340 which there's no way
00:09:00.600 the left or the media
00:09:01.440 actually cares about
00:09:02.420 at all.
00:09:04.100 I mean,
00:09:04.660 that's just,
00:09:05.060 it's just,
00:09:05.500 it's not even,
00:09:06.100 it's not even
00:09:06.560 a realistic point.
00:09:09.200 But the other thing is
00:09:10.260 I love the idea
00:09:12.600 that retail
00:09:13.560 is the only thing
00:09:15.240 we focus on.
00:09:16.320 Think about
00:09:16.900 your Thanksgiving day.
00:09:18.040 This is what
00:09:18.660 my Thanksgiving day
00:09:19.440 was when I was
00:09:20.620 growing up.
00:09:21.500 You'd get up
00:09:22.080 in the morning
00:09:22.500 and you'd flip
00:09:24.000 on the parade.
00:09:25.260 Of course.
00:09:25.680 The good old
00:09:26.140 traditional Thanksgiving
00:09:27.340 parade.
00:09:28.280 And you'd watch
00:09:29.100 the big fat balloons
00:09:30.400 go down in between
00:09:31.580 the city blocks
00:09:33.160 in New York
00:09:33.860 and you'd wonder
00:09:35.260 how is this so popular?
00:09:36.800 It's just a very,
00:09:38.040 a bunch of slow
00:09:39.060 moving balloons.
00:09:40.040 I cannot get my kids
00:09:41.060 into it to save my life.
00:09:42.060 They just don't,
00:09:42.700 they're not impressed.
00:09:43.800 Okay.
00:09:44.440 But guess what?
00:09:45.380 What you're watching
00:09:46.580 is tens of thousands
00:09:48.920 of people working.
00:09:51.140 They're all working.
00:09:54.060 This,
00:09:54.280 this,
00:09:54.740 you know,
00:09:55.380 the Pokemon balloon
00:09:56.560 didn't blow itself up
00:09:57.880 and fly down Fifth Avenue.
00:09:59.560 And they are not
00:10:00.000 all volunteers.
00:10:01.180 No,
00:10:01.480 some of them are,
00:10:02.420 but I mean,
00:10:02.920 some of them are not.
00:10:03.740 You go to a turkey trot
00:10:05.100 in the morning.
00:10:05.560 I know Jeffy's a big runner,
00:10:06.620 a big,
00:10:06.840 oh,
00:10:07.360 you can't keep me away
00:10:08.200 from the turkey trot.
00:10:09.300 I like the early ones.
00:10:10.320 Get up early.
00:10:10.840 Get started.
00:10:11.380 Guess what's happening?
00:10:12.140 Those people are working there.
00:10:13.960 Then you go and you're,
00:10:14.960 okay,
00:10:15.240 it's time to go off
00:10:15.980 to grandma's house
00:10:16.760 for Thanksgiving.
00:10:17.840 And on the way there,
00:10:18.840 well,
00:10:19.000 we've got to stop for gas
00:10:19.900 at a gas station
00:10:20.840 where people are working.
00:10:23.780 They're working there.
00:10:25.340 Maybe you stop
00:10:26.140 for a quick coffee
00:10:27.300 or soda at a McDonald's
00:10:28.780 where people are working.
00:10:31.680 Then,
00:10:32.140 of course,
00:10:32.440 you get to the place.
00:10:33.320 You get to grandma's house
00:10:34.320 and they're,
00:10:34.720 ah,
00:10:34.900 we never got those rolls.
00:10:36.200 We never got those dinner rolls.
00:10:37.440 Oh,
00:10:37.660 we got to go out
00:10:38.320 to the quick grocery store run.
00:10:40.180 Let's make a quick grocery store run,
00:10:41.760 you know,
00:10:41.980 where people are working.
00:10:43.560 And then you get inside
00:10:46.460 and you're back inside.
00:10:47.460 You're getting ready.
00:10:48.080 The meal's coming together.
00:10:49.660 Nice family time.
00:10:50.660 And you know what?
00:10:51.140 You look outside
00:10:51.800 and wow,
00:10:52.280 is it cold out there.
00:10:53.300 But it's not cold in here.
00:10:54.880 Why isn't it cold in here?
00:10:56.220 Because heat is running
00:10:58.020 from a corporation
00:10:59.420 that is producing that heat
00:11:01.580 and there's a lot of employees
00:11:03.100 there right now
00:11:03.980 on Thanksgiving
00:11:04.620 working.
00:11:05.680 How about that electricity?
00:11:09.620 Oh,
00:11:09.900 isn't that a wonder?
00:11:10.740 Modern wonder.
00:11:12.100 Isn't it fantastic
00:11:13.160 that the lights
00:11:14.360 are all on in here?
00:11:15.840 It just happens.
00:11:16.320 That doesn't just,
00:11:17.160 there aren't,
00:11:17.640 there aren't magic elves
00:11:19.180 in your wall
00:11:20.120 running on hamster wheels
00:11:21.960 to turn some magical
00:11:23.540 power generation.
00:11:24.500 There is a power plant
00:11:25.480 and yes,
00:11:26.380 they probably have less people
00:11:27.420 than normal,
00:11:27.880 but there's a lot of people
00:11:28.700 there working.
00:11:30.200 Right.
00:11:31.200 Oh,
00:11:31.600 but then the traditional
00:11:32.340 Thanksgiving,
00:11:32.940 you have the meal,
00:11:33.760 you sit down,
00:11:34.500 you're,
00:11:34.820 and this is what I did
00:11:35.540 yesterday,
00:11:35.860 a fat gut just falling
00:11:37.040 out of your shirt
00:11:37.760 and you flip on that TV
00:11:40.380 and you watch the
00:11:41.840 traditional football game
00:11:43.180 where,
00:11:43.620 you know,
00:11:44.000 you got to watch the Cowboys
00:11:45.040 and unfortunately
00:11:45.700 it's your choice,
00:11:46.660 but you got the Cowboys,
00:11:47.560 you got the Lions
00:11:48.240 and you got now
00:11:48.920 apparently another third game.
00:11:50.360 Yeah,
00:11:50.380 you have to have a third.
00:11:51.420 Cover the day.
00:11:52.340 By the way,
00:11:52.680 completely in favor
00:11:53.400 of the third game,
00:11:54.380 one football all day.
00:11:55.760 But guess what you're seeing
00:11:57.340 when you turn that on?
00:11:58.720 You're seeing,
00:11:59.560 first of all,
00:12:00.120 two teams worth
00:12:01.940 of players
00:12:03.200 and coaches
00:12:04.960 and everybody else,
00:12:06.360 they're all working
00:12:07.840 and guess what's,
00:12:10.220 how are you seeing
00:12:11.040 this magical thing?
00:12:12.300 Well,
00:12:12.520 I don't know,
00:12:13.200 progressives,
00:12:13.980 guess what you're seeing?
00:12:14.680 You're seeing people
00:12:15.240 boarding cameras
00:12:16.000 and you're seeing people
00:12:17.120 directing shows
00:12:18.180 and you're seeing
00:12:19.020 all sorts of things
00:12:19.900 going on
00:12:20.600 and all of those people
00:12:22.080 are in the stadium
00:12:22.900 and at home
00:12:23.740 and the home office
00:12:24.980 working
00:12:25.600 and then you're seeing
00:12:26.880 tons of people
00:12:27.820 who parked all these cars,
00:12:29.760 parking attendants
00:12:30.980 and people
00:12:31.700 who are inside
00:12:32.540 the stadium
00:12:33.920 running the concessions.
00:12:35.160 No,
00:12:35.280 those aren't open.
00:12:35.880 No,
00:12:36.260 they are.
00:12:36.680 They're all open
00:12:37.480 and they're all working.
00:12:40.740 And it's like,
00:12:41.400 well,
00:12:41.780 this is,
00:12:42.360 and of course,
00:12:42.700 these are all,
00:12:43.700 some of those
00:12:44.220 are really important.
00:12:44.920 You have to have
00:12:45.360 electricity and heat,
00:12:46.220 of course,
00:12:46.520 and this is just
00:12:47.460 mindless consumerism.
00:12:49.500 It's just shopping.
00:12:50.760 It's just shopping
00:12:51.480 and if you need
00:12:52.060 to shop so badly,
00:12:53.700 just shop online.
00:12:55.220 here's a crazy secret.
00:12:58.720 This is going to be,
00:12:59.840 I know the left
00:13:00.620 is going to be shocked
00:13:01.520 by this,
00:13:02.580 but you know what?
00:13:03.640 Over at Amazon,
00:13:04.980 there's a lot of people
00:13:06.160 on Thanksgiving
00:13:06.980 working.
00:13:09.100 They're all working
00:13:10.660 for your benefit
00:13:11.940 on these days.
00:13:13.100 You know,
00:13:13.220 this is all
00:13:13.580 family values,
00:13:14.960 family values,
00:13:15.840 right?
00:13:16.040 It has nothing to do
00:13:16.740 with family values.
00:13:17.480 These places,
00:13:18.260 there are people
00:13:19.040 out there
00:13:19.820 doing their jobs
00:13:20.940 every day
00:13:21.580 and because we ignore
00:13:22.660 all these thousands
00:13:23.960 and thousands of people,
00:13:25.120 we only have to stop,
00:13:26.800 you know,
00:13:27.480 some retail outlet
00:13:29.340 from actually
00:13:32.180 opening up
00:13:33.560 and here's the thing.
00:13:34.760 This is the craziest
00:13:35.400 part of this.
00:13:36.700 Black Friday today
00:13:37.840 is called that
00:13:40.040 because,
00:13:40.640 okay,
00:13:40.860 well,
00:13:40.980 this is the day
00:13:41.580 that theoretically
00:13:42.460 retailers get into
00:13:44.040 the black for the year,
00:13:45.220 right?
00:13:45.460 They run in the red
00:13:46.380 all year
00:13:46.900 and then the Christmas
00:13:47.420 season comes,
00:13:48.220 Black Friday turns
00:13:48.960 into the black.
00:13:49.320 Now,
00:13:49.420 that's not actually true
00:13:50.340 but that's why
00:13:51.440 it was called that.
00:13:53.100 I've got news for you.
00:13:53.960 It's a lot harder
00:13:54.960 for retailers
00:13:55.660 to get in the black
00:13:56.800 than it used to be.
00:13:58.220 Yeah.
00:13:59.120 You know,
00:13:59.380 I don't know
00:13:59.820 if you've noticed this,
00:14:00.580 all these places,
00:14:01.260 there's no more
00:14:02.020 Toys R Us locations
00:14:03.500 in the United States.
00:14:05.140 It's hard for these
00:14:06.140 companies to actually
00:14:07.540 make it buy.
00:14:08.280 We're going to take
00:14:08.880 a giant shopping day
00:14:10.340 away from them
00:14:11.320 because the left
00:14:12.440 tells us they care
00:14:13.400 suddenly about
00:14:14.160 traditional family values.
00:14:15.880 I know.
00:14:16.040 It sounds good.
00:14:17.520 It does sound good.
00:14:18.680 It does kind of sound good.
00:14:19.700 It does.
00:14:20.300 I mean,
00:14:20.440 it makes you feel good.
00:14:21.960 Nostalgic
00:14:23.280 for the days
00:14:24.080 when nothing was open
00:14:25.540 and you'd go.
00:14:26.400 If you don't have it,
00:14:27.660 you don't need it.
00:14:28.780 I understand that
00:14:30.380 and that's,
00:14:31.100 of course,
00:14:31.340 true,
00:14:31.840 but that is not
00:14:32.560 my decision
00:14:33.120 to make for everybody else.
00:14:34.040 No,
00:14:34.260 it is not.
00:14:34.840 And,
00:14:35.240 by the way,
00:14:35.980 it sounds good
00:14:37.220 when you say,
00:14:38.320 yeah,
00:14:38.620 you know,
00:14:38.860 I just don't want
00:14:39.620 those open.
00:14:40.100 I want to be able
00:14:40.620 to stay home.
00:14:41.660 We're out of milk.
00:14:42.420 All right,
00:14:42.700 I'll be right back.
00:14:43.320 Exactly.
00:14:44.060 And you run to a store
00:14:45.040 where people are working.
00:14:45.760 I told you to get milk yesterday.
00:14:47.900 Why didn't you?
00:14:48.520 I thought we had enough.
00:14:49.600 All right,
00:14:49.820 I'll go.
00:14:50.140 I would think about
00:14:50.720 this is a giant movement
00:14:52.240 in the name of
00:14:53.480 traditional family values
00:14:54.980 that is basically giving,
00:14:57.780 like,
00:14:57.980 Amazon doesn't need 1.00
00:14:59.240 another advantage.
00:15:02.220 They're open all the time.
00:15:03.960 Right.
00:15:04.680 They don't need
00:15:05.200 yet another advantage here.
00:15:06.860 I love Amazon.
00:15:07.760 I have nothing against them,
00:15:08.700 but, like,
00:15:09.060 when, you know,
00:15:10.200 traditional retailers
00:15:10.960 are already getting killed
00:15:12.700 by places like Amazon
00:15:13.840 and you're going to take
00:15:14.640 one of the most profitable
00:15:15.760 theoretical days of the year
00:15:17.240 away from them
00:15:18.160 because you think,
00:15:19.700 you know,
00:15:20.720 people should stay home
00:15:21.740 with a family
00:15:22.320 they may or may not like.
00:15:25.100 I know.
00:15:25.380 It's quite presumptuous
00:15:26.660 to tell everybody else
00:15:28.060 what they need to do
00:15:29.060 on Thanksgiving.
00:15:30.120 I know.
00:15:30.860 I don't like it.
00:15:32.080 I don't like the idea
00:15:32.880 that governments
00:15:33.460 are now getting involved in it.
00:15:35.220 I don't like the pressure group
00:15:36.520 element of it.
00:15:37.920 You can,
00:15:38.680 I didn't go out shopping yesterday.
00:15:40.980 I didn't want to.
00:15:41.820 I wanted to spend time
00:15:42.940 with my family.
00:15:43.920 Somehow,
00:15:44.780 Jeffy wanted to spend time
00:15:45.680 with his family too.
00:15:46.780 I know they didn't want
00:15:47.420 to spend time with him.
00:15:48.240 Remember I used the example
00:15:49.460 of isn't there something
00:15:50.320 you should be doing?
00:15:51.360 Yeah.
00:15:52.080 True.
00:15:53.620 Let's take a minute here
00:15:54.660 and realize that
00:15:55.980 just because I happen
00:15:57.200 to like it
00:15:57.600 and Jeffy happens
00:15:58.320 to like staying home
00:15:59.120 with our families,
00:16:00.520 that doesn't mean
00:16:01.000 everybody has to.
00:16:02.120 No, you don't.
00:16:02.500 They should be able
00:16:03.020 to run away
00:16:03.680 as much as you want.
00:16:04.420 Absolutely.
00:16:04.980 And by the way,
00:16:05.880 those movies
00:16:06.900 that everybody went to see
00:16:08.280 and fell in love with
00:16:09.600 over the weekend,
00:16:10.320 amazingly,
00:16:11.020 those don't just show up
00:16:12.560 on the screen.
00:16:13.200 No, there are people there
00:16:15.120 working.
00:16:17.340 888-727-BECK
00:16:18.600 is the phone number.
00:16:19.480 By the way,
00:16:19.920 welcome to Black Friday.
00:16:22.020 If you made the choice
00:16:22.840 to stay home
00:16:23.260 with your family
00:16:23.800 and run out the second. 0.94
00:16:25.880 I love it.
00:16:26.460 Oh, we share
00:16:27.080 about traditional family values.
00:16:28.200 By the way,
00:16:28.520 stores open at 4 a.m.
00:16:31.020 888-727-BECK
00:16:32.280 is the phone number.
00:16:33.380 It's Jeffy and Stu
00:16:34.280 here in for the Glenn Beck
00:16:36.040 and the Glenn Beck program
00:16:37.060 working.
00:16:37.640 It's Stu and Jeffy
00:16:40.740 in for Glenn Beck
00:16:41.740 who is currently
00:16:42.580 eating his way
00:16:43.320 out of a self-imposed
00:16:44.740 stuffing and mashed potato
00:16:46.420 prison that he built
00:16:47.840 yesterday.
00:16:49.160 It's not that bad
00:16:49.980 of a prison to be in.
00:16:51.000 He could not get
00:16:51.780 a microphone in there,
00:16:52.580 though,
00:16:52.760 so he's off today.
00:16:54.040 He's back on Monday,
00:16:54.980 though.
00:16:55.620 By the way,
00:16:56.100 I want to remind you
00:16:56.640 at glenbeck.com
00:16:57.360 slash tour
00:16:57.900 if you happen to be
00:16:58.680 in Florida.
00:16:59.340 Actually,
00:16:59.660 we should get some
00:17:00.300 tickets away today.
00:17:01.280 If you're in Florida
00:17:01.860 and you want to go
00:17:02.300 to the tour
00:17:02.800 in either Tampa
00:17:03.380 or Orlando,
00:17:04.100 we're going to be there.
00:17:04.560 I think it's next week.
00:17:05.800 Right?
00:17:06.000 Isn't it next week?
00:17:06.640 Yeah.
00:17:06.860 If you want to go
00:17:09.060 there,
00:17:10.600 call 888-727-BECK.
00:17:13.040 Let's give a pair
00:17:13.760 of tickets away now
00:17:14.580 if you are in Tampa
00:17:16.520 or Orlando
00:17:17.080 or can be there
00:17:17.820 next week
00:17:18.280 and want to go
00:17:18.640 to the show.
00:17:19.540 We would love
00:17:20.140 to have you.
00:17:21.560 So Mike will take
00:17:22.600 a couple calls
00:17:23.980 there on that one
00:17:24.520 and give some
00:17:25.000 tickets away.
00:17:25.860 There was a Black 1.00
00:17:26.740 Friday shooting
00:17:27.360 last night.
00:17:28.680 As you know,
00:17:29.600 this is what happens
00:17:30.380 when Black Friday
00:17:31.420 and capitalism
00:17:31.960 comes together.
00:17:32.600 People are struggling
00:17:33.200 to get that hot 0.98
00:17:33.860 new toy.
00:17:34.580 It doesn't matter
00:17:35.240 and they wind up
00:17:35.660 shooting each other
00:17:36.220 and that's the story
00:17:36.820 I'm seeing everywhere.
00:17:37.860 I know,
00:17:38.180 but except it's not true.
00:17:39.280 It's not true
00:17:39.980 on multiple levels.
00:17:41.460 First of all,
00:17:42.340 it wasn't Black Friday,
00:17:43.360 it was Thursday.
00:17:44.540 So it can't be
00:17:45.480 a Black Friday shooting
00:17:46.380 if it happened
00:17:46.820 on Thursday night.
00:17:47.420 But their argument
00:17:48.180 to that would be
00:17:48.740 that the mall
00:17:49.820 opened because
00:17:50.740 of Black Friday sales.
00:17:52.020 They opened early,
00:17:52.680 right?
00:17:52.800 It's even worse
00:17:53.660 because it happened
00:17:54.340 on Thanksgiving.
00:17:55.280 However,
00:17:55.580 it has nothing
00:17:56.440 to do with
00:17:57.060 struggling to get
00:17:57.980 the new toy.
00:17:59.360 It is a story
00:18:00.460 in which it seems
00:18:01.280 two teens
00:18:02.340 were fighting.
00:18:03.180 Yep.
00:18:03.660 The fight escalated
00:18:05.160 having nothing to do
00:18:06.260 with buying anything.
00:18:07.960 They wound up
00:18:08.800 apparently shooting
00:18:09.620 at each other.
00:18:10.540 A 12-year-old girl
00:18:11.820 who was also there,
00:18:13.540 an innocent bystander,
00:18:14.720 was also hit.
00:18:15.920 Looks like she's
00:18:16.560 going to be okay.
00:18:17.320 Right.
00:18:17.760 And then the police
00:18:18.460 confronted the one teen
00:18:19.700 who was trying
00:18:20.420 to get away.
00:18:21.220 And they killed him.
00:18:22.500 Yes.
00:18:22.880 Yes.
00:18:23.160 So one dead,
00:18:24.080 two injured
00:18:24.560 in that shooting.
00:18:25.700 But you're seeing
00:18:26.100 that as a Black Friday
00:18:26.960 shooting.
00:18:27.520 A real stretch
00:18:28.340 to call it
00:18:28.740 a Black Friday shooting.
00:18:29.560 But they get it,
00:18:30.040 right?
00:18:30.280 The mall is now closed
00:18:31.540 so they can be happy.
00:18:32.480 Yeah.
00:18:32.900 There you go.
00:18:33.860 All right.
00:18:34.480 We'll take your calls here
00:18:35.800 coming up.
00:18:36.760 888-727-BEC
00:18:37.960 is the phone number.
00:18:38.800 We also have some
00:18:39.280 really good things
00:18:40.040 that are happening.
00:18:41.020 A lot of people
00:18:41.460 like to look at the world
00:18:42.580 and say,
00:18:43.120 oh, well,
00:18:43.660 people are killing
00:18:44.540 each other in malls.
00:18:45.820 Well, we do know,
00:18:46.500 we covered this,
00:18:47.180 I think,
00:18:47.400 a little bit earlier
00:18:48.200 in the week
00:18:48.680 where the murder rate's
00:18:50.120 down by 50%
00:18:51.400 since the 70s,
00:18:52.480 80s, and 90s.
00:18:53.540 Well, you wouldn't
00:18:54.180 think that.
00:18:54.640 You wouldn't think that.
00:18:55.420 You would not think that.
00:18:56.420 So let's come back
00:18:57.300 and we'll do some
00:18:57.780 of that as well.
00:18:59.000 It's Stu and Jeffy
00:19:00.120 in for Glenn
00:19:00.600 on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:06.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:09.220 It's Stu and Jeffy
00:19:10.620 in for Glenn
00:19:11.540 on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:12.340 Something we just realized
00:19:13.320 kind of just happened
00:19:15.820 just a couple of moments
00:19:16.960 ago on the air.
00:19:17.820 I kind of realized
00:19:18.840 that Glenn is in here
00:19:19.540 and I can do whatever
00:19:20.100 I want.
00:19:21.480 He can't stop me.
00:19:23.740 I like that.
00:19:24.180 Which is fun.
00:19:25.100 It's a fun thing to realize.
00:19:26.360 That was a good thought.
00:19:26.940 We should have thought
00:19:27.380 of that earlier, actually.
00:19:28.380 So let's go to Scott
00:19:30.900 in Florida
00:19:31.660 who is calling in
00:19:34.180 because we decided
00:19:35.020 we're going to give away
00:19:35.560 some tickets to the tour
00:19:36.860 that's coming next week.
00:19:38.720 By the way,
00:19:39.240 if you want to buy tickets,
00:19:40.560 glenbeck.com slash tour.
00:19:41.840 Maybe we'll give away
00:19:42.420 a bunch today.
00:19:43.440 Scott, you there?
00:19:45.140 Yes, I am.
00:19:45.900 And I'm calling from Tampa.
00:19:47.440 Nice.
00:19:47.720 And because you can do
00:19:48.840 whatever you want,
00:19:49.580 does that mean
00:19:50.020 I get front row?
00:19:51.380 Well, I can't screw
00:19:53.540 the people who actually
00:19:54.320 bought the front row tickets,
00:19:55.420 but I can get you
00:19:56.180 in the house
00:19:56.940 if that'll work for you.
00:19:58.640 Wow, look at you.
00:19:59.260 We're giving you
00:19:59.720 free tickets
00:20:00.460 and you're just asking
00:20:01.720 for more.
00:20:02.260 It's not enough.
00:20:04.020 I'll bring Glenn
00:20:04.600 Rice Krispie treats.
00:20:05.480 He does like marshmallows.
00:20:08.500 It will be sealed.
00:20:10.600 There will be, you know,
00:20:11.300 no razor blades inside.
00:20:12.680 Nothing like that.
00:20:13.420 Sure.
00:20:14.120 I'm not into antics.
00:20:15.580 Just so you know,
00:20:16.440 everyone who puts
00:20:17.180 razor blades inside
00:20:18.420 of Rice Krispies treats
00:20:19.320 says they are not
00:20:20.120 putting Rice Krispies treats
00:20:21.280 and razor blades together.
00:20:23.120 Okay, Scott in Tampa,
00:20:24.780 you are in.
00:20:26.460 Thank you,
00:20:27.180 and we'll get your information
00:20:28.640 here off the air.
00:20:29.780 And I think we'll do
00:20:30.360 more tickets here
00:20:31.280 coming up as well.
00:20:32.340 So we got the Orlando
00:20:33.080 and the Tampa show
00:20:34.840 that we can give
00:20:35.500 tickets away for.
00:20:36.360 Yeah, why not?
00:20:37.260 I mean, I love it.
00:20:38.720 We'll come back
00:20:39.640 on the other side
00:20:40.120 and he'll say,
00:20:40.600 you shouldn't have
00:20:41.400 given those away.
00:20:42.240 And I'm going to say,
00:20:42.820 what are you going to do?
00:20:43.300 Screw your fans?
00:20:43.920 Oh, no.
00:20:44.560 Screw the people
00:20:45.240 who want to see you live?
00:20:45.880 I thought for sure
00:20:46.520 we needed to give
00:20:47.800 those tickets away
00:20:48.480 to our fans.
00:20:49.400 I'm sorry.
00:20:50.420 All right, thanks, Scott.
00:20:51.000 We'll do more tickets
00:20:51.540 here in a little bit.
00:20:52.160 Let's go to Trent in Michigan.
00:20:53.680 Trent, welcome
00:20:54.080 to the Glenn Beck program.
00:20:56.120 Hi, good morning, guys.
00:20:57.260 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:20:58.160 My name is Trent,
00:20:59.640 and I am an accordion player
00:21:02.200 Bavarian Inn,
00:21:02.940 and I love working
00:21:03.900 on Thanksgiving.
00:21:05.080 You love working
00:21:05.780 on Thanksgiving?
00:21:06.080 I've been working
00:21:06.300 on Thanksgiving for years.
00:21:07.760 Ah, and you said
00:21:08.680 you work at an inn?
00:21:09.520 Yeah, the Bavarian Inn
00:21:10.380 in Frankenmuth.
00:21:11.500 You are not aware
00:21:12.440 of the Bavarian Inn
00:21:13.460 in Frankenmuth?
00:21:14.400 Oh, that's good stuff, yeah.
00:21:16.840 Chicken dinners, baby.
00:21:17.300 Yeah, it's all you can eat.
00:21:18.560 There you go.
00:21:19.280 Chicken dinners.
00:21:19.960 It's another good example, too.
00:21:21.400 Inns, right?
00:21:22.020 Like hotels, restaurants,
00:21:23.460 like all these places
00:21:24.260 are open, too.
00:21:24.980 You know, the Chinese restaurant
00:21:26.120 in A Christmas Story
00:21:27.700 is open on Christmas.
00:21:29.000 There you go.
00:21:29.380 Those people were working.
00:21:30.680 So you actually like
00:21:32.060 working on Thanksgiving.
00:21:33.520 I think, you know,
00:21:34.060 shouldn't you have the choice
00:21:34.980 to do that,
00:21:35.420 or should the government
00:21:36.000 just shut you down?
00:21:37.800 I have a lot of choice.
00:21:39.160 You know, if I don't do it,
00:21:40.680 some other accordion player will.
00:21:41.840 You know, there's tons
00:21:42.460 of them in Frankenmuth.
00:21:44.300 Right.
00:21:45.000 All the battles
00:21:45.880 of accordion players
00:21:46.980 in Frankenmuth.
00:21:47.680 Yeah, it's kind of like
00:21:48.280 East Coast, West Coast rap.
00:21:49.700 There's a huge battle
00:21:50.660 of accordion players
00:21:52.560 in Frankenmuth,
00:21:53.300 and we don't have time
00:21:54.060 to get into the whole
00:21:54.860 backstory of it.
00:21:55.760 There's a lot of nuance
00:21:56.520 in that,
00:21:56.980 and I'm not sure
00:21:57.440 which side of the I'm on,
00:21:58.660 but I appreciate your call, Trent.
00:22:00.420 And thanks a lot.
00:22:01.280 You know, he's not
00:22:01.620 the only one, right?
00:22:02.520 Right.
00:22:03.160 You know, people are generous
00:22:04.100 on Thanksgiving, I would assume.
00:22:05.500 Might be a good time
00:22:06.400 to be out there
00:22:07.080 doing something
00:22:07.860 where you can get paid,
00:22:09.340 and maybe if you're getting tips
00:22:10.480 as well,
00:22:11.000 might be a good time for that.
00:22:12.400 It shouldn't be...
00:22:13.260 He does say something, though.
00:22:15.240 He did say something
00:22:15.800 that, you know,
00:22:16.940 kind of bows into the argument
00:22:18.480 that the left will make, though,
00:22:21.100 is that, well, of course,
00:22:23.340 if he decides he doesn't want
00:22:25.160 to work and work
00:22:25.780 with his family,
00:22:26.340 someone else will take it
00:22:27.380 and costing him his job,
00:22:29.020 that shouldn't be the case.
00:22:30.460 That shouldn't be the case.
00:22:31.440 Right.
00:22:31.600 They should instead be forced
00:22:32.780 to not work
00:22:33.540 and not make the double pay.
00:22:34.980 Right.
00:22:36.020 Like, why is it the government
00:22:38.500 or some pressure group's decision
00:22:40.360 as to whether you are able
00:22:41.660 to earn a living
00:22:42.320 on a particular day?
00:22:43.660 That should be your choice
00:22:44.500 every single time.
00:22:46.020 That is something fundamental.
00:22:47.540 Right?
00:22:47.980 If you're able to live a life
00:22:49.880 in which you're able
00:22:50.520 to support your family
00:22:51.680 and you want to go out there,
00:22:53.680 or if you just freaking
00:22:54.800 want to do it
00:22:55.420 and you want to spend it
00:22:56.360 on Twinkies.
00:22:57.260 Whatever you want.
00:22:57.780 I don't want to romanticize it here.
00:23:00.100 You have the right to be lazy
00:23:01.440 and you want to throw it
00:23:02.520 at Xbox games?
00:23:03.440 Do it.
00:23:04.480 That is totally your right to do
00:23:06.060 and I just,
00:23:06.600 I hate that, you know,
00:23:08.260 we might think
00:23:09.580 it's a better decision
00:23:10.480 but we don't get to make it
00:23:11.400 for everybody.
00:23:11.920 No.
00:23:12.260 No, we do not.
00:23:12.980 And I like the idea
00:23:13.960 of being able.
00:23:14.380 We've all worked
00:23:15.460 for a number of years
00:23:16.820 where you've made the decision
00:23:17.900 of we need people to work.
00:23:19.380 Yeah, I'm working.
00:23:20.420 I'll work.
00:23:20.880 Yeah.
00:23:21.220 I mean, you know,
00:23:21.940 this stupid voice
00:23:23.780 you're hearing
00:23:24.180 coming out of your radio
00:23:25.020 right now.
00:23:25.500 By the way,
00:23:26.460 I don't know if you noticed this
00:23:27.420 but your radio station
00:23:28.620 was likely on the air
00:23:29.700 on Thanksgiving
00:23:30.180 and there were a lot of people
00:23:32.000 busting their ass, 0.99
00:23:33.780 you know,
00:23:34.060 engineers and IT people
00:23:36.340 and, you know,
00:23:37.760 probably a board op
00:23:39.180 in some places,
00:23:39.980 you know,
00:23:40.160 depending on what the level.
00:23:41.220 Still though,
00:23:41.580 okay,
00:23:41.760 but even the ones,
00:23:43.000 let's say,
00:23:43.280 that don't have the board ops,
00:23:44.000 that would use the example
00:23:45.120 of electricity
00:23:46.540 and the power companies
00:23:47.660 having people to work.
00:23:48.640 I got news for you.
00:23:49.680 If something goes down,
00:23:51.000 people are on call.
00:23:52.240 Yeah.
00:23:52.680 To come in and work.
00:23:54.320 Oh, man.
00:23:54.720 So whether you started
00:23:55.720 cutting your turkey or not,
00:23:57.640 when something like that happens,
00:23:58.980 you're working.
00:23:59.560 Oh, that's true.
00:24:00.280 If something goes wrong
00:24:01.020 with this broadcast right now,
00:24:02.100 there will be engineers
00:24:02.920 that will have to rush in,
00:24:04.260 you know,
00:24:04.640 and we're not on Thanksgiving.
00:24:05.780 This is the day after,
00:24:06.460 but if that were happening,
00:24:08.480 they would have to rush in
00:24:09.360 and fix things.
00:24:10.400 I mean, you know,
00:24:10.920 these guys,
00:24:11.500 engineers at radio stations
00:24:12.600 bust their asses. 0.99
00:24:13.820 They're around,
00:24:14.560 they're going,
00:24:15.000 they're freaking climbing towers
00:24:16.260 in the middle of the night
00:24:17.060 to fix problems
00:24:18.440 so you can hear
00:24:19.020 the latest Britney Spears song.
00:24:20.600 And they got to come in,
00:24:24.060 you know,
00:24:24.420 but I'm here,
00:24:25.780 you know,
00:24:26.700 filling in for Glenn Beck.
00:24:27.700 Obviously,
00:24:28.040 I'm on the show
00:24:28.580 every single day.
00:24:29.460 It's a national radio show.
00:24:30.780 I've been doing it
00:24:31.380 for a long freaking time.
00:24:32.660 You know where this started?
00:24:33.360 This started the first time
00:24:34.920 I was ever in a radio studio
00:24:36.340 and I learned how to run a board
00:24:37.740 in a radio studio.
00:24:39.460 Overnight,
00:24:40.280 thanks,
00:24:40.900 overnight,
00:24:41.740 Christmas Eve into Christmas.
00:24:43.580 Thank you.
00:24:44.040 That was the night
00:24:45.060 from midnight to six,
00:24:46.820 Christmas Eve into Christmas.
00:24:49.540 That's your shift.
00:24:50.240 You want it or not?
00:24:51.540 Yes, I want it.
00:24:52.480 Please let me in.
00:24:54.180 You think I want
00:24:54.700 progressive government officials
00:24:56.500 telling me I was not able
00:24:57.740 to go in that night
00:24:58.960 and learn
00:24:59.540 because you know what?
00:25:00.220 It's Christmas
00:25:00.640 and you should be home
00:25:01.300 with your family.
00:25:01.900 They're all asleep.
00:25:04.400 I'll be home with them later.
00:25:05.980 By the way,
00:25:06.400 I was living in an apartment
00:25:07.360 by myself.
00:25:08.100 There was no family
00:25:09.380 to go home to.
00:25:10.580 My parents were asleep
00:25:11.580 and again,
00:25:14.360 like individual circumstances
00:25:15.940 lead to individual decisions
00:25:18.100 and people should be able
00:25:19.580 to make those decisions
00:25:20.460 on their own.
00:25:21.600 By the way,
00:25:22.020 this is the thing
00:25:22.720 that really bothers me
00:25:23.620 about this
00:25:24.000 and it's not just being open
00:25:25.060 on Thanksgiving.
00:25:25.700 It's just the latest example
00:25:26.900 of this
00:25:27.220 but it's constant fight
00:25:28.520 against capitalism
00:25:29.260 and what's amazing
00:25:31.380 about that is
00:25:32.280 it's basically
00:25:33.960 the best thing
00:25:35.700 humankind
00:25:36.860 has ever done.
00:25:39.440 Capitalism has brought us
00:25:41.060 from,
00:25:42.160 I mean look,
00:25:42.560 you can't compare it with,
00:25:43.980 and you want to talk
00:25:44.500 about faith issues,
00:25:45.580 you want to talk about God,
00:25:46.860 sure there's things
00:25:47.620 that are more amazing
00:25:49.640 than anything
00:25:50.140 that humans have done.
00:25:51.120 However,
00:25:51.540 I believe capitalism
00:25:52.400 is a gift from God.
00:25:53.380 I believe it is divinely inspired.
00:25:55.660 Think about what it has accomplished.
00:25:57.220 It's accomplished
00:25:57.860 more than any other
00:25:59.680 idea in human history.
00:26:03.400 The idea that people
00:26:04.080 can associate
00:26:05.200 with who they want to
00:26:06.140 and economically associate
00:26:08.980 with who they want to
00:26:09.840 when it comes to
00:26:11.460 not only just capitalism
00:26:13.120 as we think about
00:26:13.800 in the United States
00:26:14.480 but free trade
00:26:15.420 and specialization
00:26:16.440 and all of these
00:26:17.160 wonderful things
00:26:17.920 have created
00:26:18.820 so much positive
00:26:21.480 in the world
00:26:22.340 and there is
00:26:23.160 an element of people
00:26:24.360 constantly fighting
00:26:25.720 against it
00:26:27.060 every single opportunity.
00:26:28.200 Every step.
00:26:28.580 I just,
00:26:29.100 I don't understand it.
00:26:29.720 Every step.
00:26:30.640 It's amazing.
00:26:31.600 And by the way,
00:26:32.760 it's so terrible
00:26:34.020 that people just continue
00:26:35.380 to want to come here.
00:26:36.780 Yeah, I know.
00:26:37.960 They continue to want
00:26:39.120 to come here
00:26:39.460 and not leave.
00:26:40.400 And not leave
00:26:40.940 because it's a freaking 0.55
00:26:42.080 great place to live
00:26:42.980 and we're all critical
00:26:45.340 of certain things.
00:26:46.200 I certainly bitch 0.99
00:26:47.440 about the government
00:26:48.900 and things that they do
00:26:49.820 all the time
00:26:50.380 and that is
00:26:52.180 because I'm protecting
00:26:53.260 this thing
00:26:53.720 I think is so great
00:26:54.580 but we still have it
00:26:56.820 better than anybody
00:26:58.300 who's ever had it.
00:26:59.140 Listen to some of this.
00:27:00.240 U.S. life expectancy
00:27:01.160 in 1800
00:27:02.960 was 39 years old.
00:27:04.820 Life expectancy,
00:27:05.600 39.
00:27:06.400 In 1900,
00:27:07.140 it was up to 49.
00:27:08.360 In 1950,
00:27:09.100 it was up to 68.
00:27:10.280 Today,
00:27:10.620 it's 79 years old.
00:27:12.620 The average newborn today
00:27:13.920 can expect to live
00:27:14.780 an entire generation
00:27:16.020 longer than his
00:27:16.920 great-grandparents could.
00:27:17.920 Wow.
00:27:18.320 Think about that.
00:27:19.760 In 1949,
00:27:20.800 Popular Mechanics magazine
00:27:21.800 made the bold prediction
00:27:22.920 that someday
00:27:23.660 in the distant future
00:27:25.580 a computer
00:27:26.820 could weigh
00:27:28.700 less than a ton.
00:27:30.220 Wow.
00:27:30.740 Can you imagine that?
00:27:31.800 I can't.
00:27:32.540 Can you imagine that world?
00:27:34.720 By the way,
00:27:35.000 an iPad today
00:27:35.820 weighs 0.73 pounds.
00:27:38.600 I mean,
00:27:38.840 we all carry
00:27:40.000 phones
00:27:41.280 with internet access
00:27:43.220 and computer access
00:27:44.040 a hundred times
00:27:45.880 if not more
00:27:46.800 faster
00:27:47.640 and more information
00:27:48.780 than that ton computer.
00:27:50.520 Yeah,
00:27:50.540 honestly,
00:27:51.060 even from like
00:27:51.760 the early 90s,
00:27:52.440 think of how much
00:27:53.160 better,
00:27:53.800 you know,
00:27:54.180 just your phone is
00:27:54.940 than a computer
00:27:56.420 that you had
00:27:57.200 in the mid-90s.
00:27:58.160 I mean,
00:27:58.400 when you could first
00:27:58.940 get on the internet.
00:27:59.680 Right.
00:27:59.980 I mean,
00:28:00.240 it's so much better.
00:28:01.580 Average American
00:28:02.180 now retires
00:28:03.080 at the age of 62,
00:28:04.960 which was what,
00:28:05.480 40 years ago
00:28:06.140 for you,
00:28:06.500 Jeffy?
00:28:07.060 60.
00:28:07.480 I remember 62.
00:28:08.380 You're bringing
00:28:09.520 that average up
00:28:10.080 quite a bit.
00:28:11.180 A hundred years ago,
00:28:12.220 the average American
00:28:13.060 died at 51.
00:28:15.820 Today,
00:28:16.360 we retire at 62.
00:28:19.560 That's incredible.
00:28:20.360 That is.
00:28:21.140 2% of American
00:28:22.340 homes had electricity
00:28:23.220 in 1900.
00:28:24.400 2%.
00:28:25.320 Wow.
00:28:25.960 J.P. Morgan
00:28:26.580 was one of the first
00:28:28.200 people to install
00:28:29.500 electricity in his home
00:28:30.740 and it required
00:28:31.820 a private power plant
00:28:34.260 on his property.
00:28:36.140 By 1950,
00:28:37.720 still 30%
00:28:39.080 of American homes
00:28:40.320 didn't have electricity.
00:28:42.440 It wasn't until
00:28:43.020 the 1970s
00:28:44.200 that virtually
00:28:45.400 all homes were powered.
00:28:46.840 When you adjust
00:28:47.500 for wage growth,
00:28:48.640 electricity costs
00:28:50.160 more than 10 times
00:28:51.580 as much in 1900
00:28:52.620 than it does today.
00:28:54.020 So we were still,
00:28:55.260 we still had people,
00:28:56.800 plenty of people
00:28:57.760 without electricity
00:28:58.500 in 1970?
00:28:59.880 Yeah.
00:29:00.400 30% of all homes
00:29:02.280 in 19,
00:29:02.920 that was 1950,
00:29:03.760 I think,
00:29:04.020 for 30%.
00:29:04.560 Okay.
00:29:04.980 1970 is about
00:29:06.000 when it really
00:29:06.480 became everywhere.
00:29:08.180 The number of
00:29:09.100 lifetime years
00:29:10.120 spent in leisure.
00:29:12.180 So,
00:29:12.460 okay,
00:29:12.620 you have a week
00:29:13.280 where you work
00:29:13.780 40 hours,
00:29:14.560 maybe you have
00:29:15.700 a few hours
00:29:16.400 where you're
00:29:16.740 drinking beers
00:29:17.280 with the guys,
00:29:18.480 you got to have
00:29:18.740 some hours
00:29:19.120 you're hanging
00:29:19.420 with your kids,
00:29:20.120 whatever it is.
00:29:20.820 Leisure time.
00:29:21.840 The number of
00:29:22.340 lifetime years
00:29:23.180 in your entire life
00:29:24.140 spent in leisure,
00:29:25.380 it's retirement time
00:29:26.360 plus time off
00:29:27.420 during your working years,
00:29:28.620 rose from 11 years
00:29:29.960 in 1870
00:29:30.720 to 35 years
00:29:32.780 in 1990.
00:29:33.580 So in 1870,
00:29:35.240 the leisure time
00:29:36.240 was walking
00:29:36.860 from field to field.
00:29:38.300 Well,
00:29:38.520 yeah,
00:29:38.740 pretty much.
00:29:40.920 Given the rise
00:29:41.460 in life expectancy,
00:29:42.420 it's about 40 years
00:29:43.560 today,
00:29:44.060 which is amazing.
00:29:44.940 The average
00:29:45.880 American spends
00:29:46.820 nearly half
00:29:47.920 of their life
00:29:49.000 in leisure.
00:29:51.020 That's fantastic.
00:29:52.160 It doesn't feel
00:29:52.680 that way sometimes.
00:29:53.380 No,
00:29:53.580 it does not.
00:29:54.220 I will say.
00:29:54.880 No,
00:29:55.040 it does not.
00:29:55.700 If you would have
00:29:56.120 told that to an
00:29:56.780 American 100 years
00:29:57.960 ago,
00:29:58.940 they would have
00:29:59.720 thought you were
00:30:00.140 the wealthiest
00:30:00.720 person in the world.
00:30:01.760 Yeah.
00:30:02.420 Half of your life
00:30:03.240 in leisure?
00:30:03.800 That's impossible.
00:30:04.900 It's very possible
00:30:05.780 even for the
00:30:06.380 average person today.
00:30:07.980 Median household
00:30:08.620 income adjusted
00:30:09.400 for inflation
00:30:09.960 was about $25,000
00:30:11.320 per year
00:30:12.080 during the 1950s.
00:30:13.000 It's nearly
00:30:13.700 double that amount
00:30:14.520 today.
00:30:15.360 If you dig
00:30:15.940 into how
00:30:16.340 the average
00:30:16.900 prosperous
00:30:17.480 American family
00:30:18.200 lived in the
00:30:18.680 1950s,
00:30:19.480 you'll find
00:30:20.240 a standard
00:30:20.620 of living
00:30:21.000 that we would
00:30:21.480 call poverty
00:30:22.360 today.
00:30:23.840 That's an
00:30:24.380 incredible thing.
00:30:24.940 I mean,
00:30:25.100 you look at that
00:30:25.700 around the world,
00:30:26.300 it's even more stark.
00:30:27.280 I mean,
00:30:28.060 whenever you hear
00:30:29.080 these left-wing
00:30:30.160 arguments of,
00:30:30.960 you know,
00:30:31.120 the wealthiest
00:30:31.620 1%,
00:30:32.220 you have to
00:30:33.620 realize that
00:30:34.140 those same
00:30:34.760 people who
00:30:35.880 are fighting
00:30:36.580 on behalf
00:30:37.380 of the everyday
00:30:38.420 factory worker
00:30:39.520 here in the
00:30:40.100 United States,
00:30:41.200 are they?
00:30:41.700 Because look,
00:30:42.720 many of those
00:30:43.620 groups are
00:30:44.560 saying the
00:30:45.060 same thing
00:30:45.820 in other
00:30:46.700 countries
00:30:47.280 about those
00:30:48.700 factory workers.
00:30:49.700 Because in
00:30:50.240 other countries,
00:30:51.440 they'll go to
00:30:51.960 Bangladesh and
00:30:52.980 they'll put up
00:30:53.360 a poster about
00:30:54.540 the wealthiest
00:30:56.320 1% being
00:30:57.760 evil,
00:30:58.640 and what they're
00:30:59.080 referring to are
00:30:59.660 people making
00:31:00.240 about $38,000 a
00:31:01.640 year or more
00:31:02.040 in the United
00:31:02.520 States.
00:31:03.860 That puts you
00:31:04.400 in the wealthiest
00:31:04.940 1% of the
00:31:05.880 world.
00:31:07.040 So think about
00:31:07.620 that.
00:31:07.960 Nobody wants to
00:31:08.720 think about that.
00:31:09.380 No,
00:31:09.860 and these groups
00:31:10.880 do think about
00:31:11.900 it,
00:31:12.080 and they realize
00:31:12.740 it's just
00:31:13.200 class warfare
00:31:13.940 anywhere they
00:31:14.700 can get it.
00:31:15.400 They'll advocate
00:31:16.320 for the same
00:31:17.180 factory worker
00:31:18.160 in the United
00:31:18.760 States against
00:31:19.720 the evil
00:31:20.120 Rockefellers,
00:31:20.920 and they'll
00:31:21.680 advocate in
00:31:22.420 Bangladesh and
00:31:23.180 in China against
00:31:24.620 the U.S.
00:31:25.640 factory worker
00:31:26.180 because they're
00:31:26.660 so well off.
00:31:28.360 I mean,
00:31:29.040 it has nothing
00:31:29.940 to do with
00:31:30.460 fighting for a
00:31:31.020 factory worker,
00:31:31.640 I'll tell you
00:31:31.940 that much.
00:31:33.500 According to
00:31:34.100 the Census
00:31:34.380 Bureau,
00:31:34.800 only 1 in
00:31:35.480 10 homes had
00:31:36.340 air conditioning
00:31:37.100 in 1960.
00:31:38.660 That rose to
00:31:39.440 49% in 1973
00:31:41.180 and 89% today.
00:31:44.000 The 11% that 0.98
00:31:44.880 do not have
00:31:45.480 air conditioning
00:31:45.900 are mostly in
00:31:47.120 cold climates.
00:31:49.040 Think about
00:31:50.280 that improvement.
00:31:51.180 You lived in
00:31:51.860 Florida,
00:31:53.000 Jeffy,
00:31:53.540 as did I,
00:31:55.400 and you know,
00:31:56.120 you still sweat
00:31:56.700 like you do
00:31:57.180 live in Florida
00:31:57.900 even when it's
00:31:58.820 40 degrees outside,
00:32:00.060 but can you
00:32:00.560 imagine anyone
00:32:01.420 choosing to live
00:32:02.380 in Florida
00:32:02.680 or Texas
00:32:03.280 for that matter
00:32:03.780 before air
00:32:05.120 conditioning?
00:32:05.240 No,
00:32:05.600 I don't know
00:32:06.000 what they did
00:32:06.560 actually.
00:32:07.380 I mean,
00:32:07.560 I can hypothesize
00:32:09.320 why we need
00:32:11.580 air conditioning
00:32:12.200 in Florida,
00:32:13.340 but aside from
00:32:14.800 the heat
00:32:15.200 from the sun,
00:32:16.720 but why would
00:32:18.200 you live there?
00:32:19.180 I mean,
00:32:19.420 wouldn't you want
00:32:20.220 to be away from
00:32:20.960 there if you
00:32:21.620 didn't have air
00:32:22.160 conditioning?
00:32:22.620 That's true.
00:32:23.640 I mean,
00:32:23.920 air conditioning
00:32:24.640 and refrigeration,
00:32:25.840 but other than
00:32:26.500 that,
00:32:26.660 why would you?
00:32:27.080 No,
00:32:27.280 I'm not going to.
00:32:27.640 We can stay
00:32:28.380 up here.
00:32:28.840 So these are
00:32:29.260 good things.
00:32:30.160 Absolutely.
00:32:30.700 These are good
00:32:31.040 things.
00:32:31.420 All right,

00:32:46.160 give a call.
00:32:46.880 You're not allowed,
00:32:47.640 Jeffy.
00:32:48.320 Give a call.
00:32:48.940 You're just giving
00:32:49.240 them away.
00:32:49.680 Yes.

00:33:12.940 Spencer in
00:33:13.560 Florida on
00:33:14.020 the phone.
00:33:14.420 Spencer,
00:33:14.800 welcome to
00:33:15.140 the Glenn
00:33:15.320 Beck
00:33:15.420 program.
00:33:16.960 Hey,
00:33:17.180 good morning,
00:33:17.600 guys.
00:33:17.920 How are you
00:33:18.120 doing?
00:33:19.260 I'm doing
00:33:19.820 great.
00:33:20.200 Since we're
00:33:21.340 doing whatever
00:33:22.040 you want,
00:33:22.620 how about
00:33:22.840 some more
00:33:23.140 on trivia
00:33:23.520 this morning?
00:33:24.800 More on trivia
00:33:25.600 we played on
00:33:26.260 Wednesday was
00:33:26.680 correct again,
00:33:27.380 so we're
00:33:27.660 10-2.
00:33:28.460 10-2.
00:33:29.260 10-2 this
00:33:30.000 season.
00:33:30.520 If you don't
00:33:30.760 know,
00:33:31.040 they're playing
00:33:31.340 it on Pat
00:33:31.760 Gray Unleashed 0.81
00:33:32.300 every week,
00:33:32.980 so you can
00:33:33.520 check that out
00:33:33.900 on Fridays
00:33:34.380 typically,
00:33:34.880 right?
00:33:35.160 Yes,
00:33:35.440 next Friday
00:33:35.880 will be the
00:33:36.180 next game.
00:33:36.840 Friday morning
00:33:37.400 is 8 a.m.
00:33:38.120 Eastern.
00:33:38.740 By the way,
00:33:39.260 there's not
00:33:39.480 enough people
00:33:39.940 here for us
00:33:40.360 to do more
00:33:40.680 trivia.
00:33:41.040 There's like
00:33:41.260 four people
00:33:41.800 in the entire
00:33:42.180 building today.
00:33:43.660 They're all
00:33:44.180 home with their
00:33:50.200 into the show
00:33:51.080 in Tampa
00:33:51.640 next week.
00:33:53.540 It's glenbeck.com
00:33:54.380 slash tour
00:33:54.940 if you would
00:33:55.340 like to join
00:33:55.820 as well,
00:33:56.340 or we'll get
00:33:56.780 some extra
00:33:57.140 tickets out
00:33:57.600 here coming
00:33:58.600 up as well.
00:33:59.560 Why should
00:33:59.920 we let you
00:34:00.300 in?
00:34:00.480 Is there any
00:34:00.840 reason?
00:34:01.360 Have you done
00:34:01.600 anything good
00:34:01.980 for society?
00:34:03.820 Absolutely not.
00:34:04.580 Just want to
00:34:05.000 go through
00:34:05.320 some entertainment.
00:34:06.000 That's perfect.
00:34:06.580 If you had an
00:34:08.020 answer to that,
00:34:08.500 we were going
00:34:08.740 to hang up
00:34:09.120 on you,
00:34:09.500 so I appreciate
00:34:10.500 it.
00:34:10.660 Spencer,
00:34:10.980 thanks so
00:34:11.280 much for
00:34:11.680 coming,
00:34:13.220 and we'll
00:34:13.440 see on
00:34:14.160 Friday or
00:34:16.500 Saturday,
00:34:16.880 I think,
00:34:17.180 is Tampa?
00:34:17.580 Friday is
00:34:18.000 Tampa,
00:34:18.380 Saturday is
00:34:18.820 Orlando.
00:34:19.640 We'll check
00:34:20.220 it out for
00:34:20.600 you.
00:34:21.060 Let me give
00:34:21.440 you a couple
00:34:21.640 more of
00:34:21.900 these as we
00:34:22.260 go here.
00:34:23.140 Adjusted for
00:34:23.680 overall inflation,
00:34:24.760 cost of an
00:34:25.820 average round
00:34:26.440 trip airline
00:34:27.160 ticket has
00:34:28.020 fallen 50%
00:34:29.360 from 1978
00:34:30.500 to today.
00:34:31.540 Average new
00:34:32.080 home.
00:34:32.420 The average
00:34:33.240 new home has
00:34:34.820 more bathrooms
00:34:35.940 than occupants.
00:34:38.100 How fantastic
00:34:38.680 is that?
00:34:40.180 More bathrooms
00:34:40.980 than occupants,
00:34:41.660 and if you're
00:34:41.960 in a house with
00:34:42.460 Jeffy, you
00:34:43.080 definitely want
00:34:44.100 more bathrooms
00:34:44.680 than occupants.
00:34:45.820 I'll tell you
00:34:46.140 that.
00:34:46.800 Back in a
00:34:47.440 second.
00:34:47.720 888-727-BEC.
00:34:48.820 It's the
00:34:49.020 phone number.
00:34:54.640 Glenn Beck.
00:34:56.420 If you happen
00:34:56.780 to be in a
00:34:57.380 deep, deep
00:34:58.820 holiday depression
00:35:00.700 today, keep
00:35:02.280 this in mind.
00:35:03.480 We are in the
00:35:04.840 season of the
00:35:05.720 2020 election
00:35:06.720 already, and
00:35:08.080 it was good
00:35:09.320 things ahead.
00:35:10.480 Two freaking
00:35:11.380 years of a
00:35:12.900 presidential election,
00:35:14.640 but this one's
00:35:15.260 going to be a lot
00:35:15.760 of fun, because
00:35:16.580 this time we
00:35:17.980 have a massive
00:35:18.820 field of
00:35:19.960 Democrats who
00:35:21.000 are going to
00:35:21.560 be beating
00:35:22.080 each other up
00:35:22.720 for the next
00:35:23.320 year and a
00:35:23.780 half.
00:35:24.180 Well, that's
00:35:24.740 good.
00:35:25.140 And that is
00:35:25.500 going to be
00:35:26.160 massively
00:35:27.220 entertaining.
00:35:27.900 That'll be fun.
00:35:28.320 Yeah.
00:35:28.540 It is going to
00:35:29.100 be really fun.
00:35:30.540 So get used
00:35:31.260 to it.
00:35:32.060 But I will
00:35:32.620 say that
00:35:32.940 something happened
00:35:33.440 in a college
00:35:33.900 football game
00:35:34.740 the other day
00:35:35.280 that actually
00:35:35.880 kind of reminds
00:35:37.080 me of how I
00:35:37.760 feel about just
00:35:38.420 politics in
00:35:39.200 general.
00:35:39.560 Every time I
00:35:39.820 think about
00:35:40.100 Washington, I
00:35:41.180 think just like
00:35:42.080 this, this
00:35:42.600 referee-lism.
00:35:44.780 The play is a
00:35:45.700 touchdown.
00:35:46.740 After the play,
00:35:48.400 unsportsmanlike
00:35:49.080 conduct on all
00:35:50.680 players from both
00:35:51.480 teams.
00:35:52.120 They'll be there
00:35:52.900 first unsportsmanlike
00:35:53.820 conduct.
00:35:55.140 I don't think I've
00:35:58.000 ever heard that
00:35:58.500 before.
00:35:59.200 All players on
00:36:00.480 both teams?
00:36:01.240 Every team.
00:36:01.960 Can you do
00:36:02.560 that?
00:36:03.060 Yes, you can
00:36:04.020 now.
00:36:04.420 Apparently you
00:36:04.960 can.
00:36:05.680 Everybody gets
00:36:06.220 a check, Mark.
00:36:06.860 You're done.
00:36:07.460 I honestly did
00:36:09.000 not know you
00:36:09.420 could just call
00:36:09.900 mass collective
00:36:11.180 penalties like
00:36:12.300 that, but I
00:36:12.920 like it.
00:36:13.460 I mean, it's
00:36:14.180 probably been
00:36:14.560 done where
00:36:15.100 they've called
00:36:16.080 it on the
00:36:16.640 team.
00:36:17.880 I guess.
00:36:18.880 The way he
00:36:19.660 said it was
00:36:20.080 great.
00:36:20.700 All players on
00:36:21.660 both teams?
00:36:24.800 You're all on
00:36:26.080 sportsmanlike
00:36:26.680 conduct right
00:36:27.340 now.
00:36:28.300 If that's how
00:36:29.100 you feel about
00:36:29.540 Washington, wait
00:36:30.200 until this next
00:36:30.900 year and a half.
00:36:31.540 This is going to
00:36:32.000 be amazing.
00:36:33.880 I want to spend
00:36:34.500 some time on
00:36:35.920 Black Friday.
00:36:36.540 As you're
00:36:36.920 driving and
00:36:37.460 going out and
00:36:37.980 you're doing
00:36:38.400 your Black
00:36:39.340 Friday shopping
00:36:40.160 or you're more
00:36:40.980 likely actually
00:36:41.720 doing anything
00:36:43.140 else if you're
00:36:44.080 smart, because I
00:36:44.840 don't want to go
00:36:45.160 anywhere near these
00:36:45.640 stores today, but
00:36:46.400 it's a whole
00:36:46.900 other story.
00:36:48.480 We have a list of
00:36:50.040 the potential
00:36:50.640 candidates who are
00:36:51.720 going to take on
00:36:52.460 Donald Trump in
00:36:53.180 2020.
00:36:54.100 Not only will this
00:36:54.920 be fun to watch
00:36:56.060 and fun to have,
00:36:56.680 it'll be fun to
00:36:57.320 hear who things
00:36:58.040 can beat him.
00:36:59.300 Now, as I'm
00:37:00.420 scrolling through,
00:37:01.560 the list is
00:37:03.080 pretty expansive.
00:37:04.860 Really?
00:37:05.260 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
00:37:06.880 6, 7, 8, 9,
00:37:08.440 10, 11, 12,
00:37:09.820 13, 15, 16,
00:37:12.120 17, 18, 19,
00:37:13.880 20, 21, 22,
00:37:15.760 23, 24, 25,
00:37:17.620 26, 27, 28,
00:37:20.000 29, 30, 31,
00:37:22.260 32, 33, 34,
00:37:25.280 34, 35, 36, 37,
00:37:28.320 38, 39, 40.
00:37:31.860 I see 40 here if
00:37:33.200 I counted that
00:37:33.760 right.
00:37:34.100 And by the way,
00:37:34.740 there are already
00:37:35.880 a couple of names
00:37:36.920 that are not on
00:37:37.960 this list that I
00:37:39.840 think are very
00:37:40.440 possible.
00:37:42.160 So if you notice
00:37:44.020 any, Jeffy, if you
00:37:44.800 think of any during
00:37:45.320 the time that might
00:37:46.200 be on the list,
00:37:46.800 write it down.
00:37:46.820 I'm interested to
00:37:47.380 hear the 40,
00:37:48.040 though.
00:37:48.240 Okay, here we
00:37:48.680 go.
00:37:49.120 There's got to be
00:37:49.820 because some of
00:37:50.840 these people cannot
00:37:51.580 honestly believe that
00:37:53.840 they have a shot.
00:37:54.460 Oh, no.
00:37:54.840 I think there are a
00:37:55.840 lot of different
00:37:56.200 reasons you run for
00:37:56.900 president.
00:37:57.380 Like, why do you
00:37:59.920 keep your name in
00:38:01.160 the running?
00:38:02.000 Because you're
00:38:02.480 relevant until you
00:38:03.240 take it off the
00:38:04.300 list.
00:38:04.640 That's true.
00:38:04.980 As soon as you say
00:38:06.020 I'm not running and
00:38:06.880 people believe you.
00:38:07.720 Now, this is not
00:38:08.140 like Beto O'Rourke,
00:38:09.020 right?
00:38:09.560 Like, Beto says,
00:38:10.340 oh, I'm not running
00:38:10.940 and nobody believes
00:38:12.140 him.
00:38:12.460 Right.
00:38:12.720 So no one takes
00:38:13.320 him off the list.
00:38:14.000 But when you are
00:38:14.560 convincing and you
00:38:15.460 take your name off
00:38:16.020 the list, everyone
00:38:16.640 forgets about you.
00:38:17.520 You can't sell any
00:38:18.120 books.
00:38:18.420 You can't book
00:38:18.880 speeches.
00:38:19.580 It's all dead.
00:38:21.460 It's such a scam.
00:38:22.800 It's a money grab
00:38:23.900 for a lot of these
00:38:24.440 people or a power
00:38:25.220 grab, right?
00:38:25.740 Like, you're trying
00:38:26.160 to raise your name
00:38:27.820 up in the list so
00:38:29.580 people will think
00:38:30.540 that you're relevant.
00:38:31.520 Heaven forbid they
00:38:32.180 just stick to the job
00:38:33.280 that we elected them
00:38:34.060 to do in the first
00:38:34.660 place as congressman
00:38:35.760 or senator.
00:38:36.700 That's terrible.
00:38:37.580 Well, let's start
00:38:38.060 there.
00:38:38.300 We'll start with
00:38:38.660 senators.
00:38:39.080 Okay, here we go.
00:38:39.760 We've got a list of
00:38:40.440 40 here.
00:38:41.220 And if you have
00:38:41.640 anyone else you
00:38:42.200 think is not on
00:38:42.680 this list, feel
00:38:43.220 free to call in
00:38:43.800 888-727-BECK is
00:38:45.200 the phone number.
00:38:46.340 It's Stu and
00:38:47.020 Jeffy in for Glenn
00:38:47.820 today who's still
00:38:49.260 eating mashed
00:38:49.840 potatoes.
00:38:50.300 I'm pretty sure
00:38:52.800 he probably is.
00:38:53.520 Probably is.
00:38:54.400 Okay, they're
00:38:55.340 first on the list
00:38:55.940 and this is not
00:38:56.380 in any particular
00:38:56.980 order other than
00:38:57.740 they've grouped
00:38:58.300 them by, you
00:39:00.220 know, the place
00:39:00.620 they're coming
00:39:00.940 from.
00:39:01.220 For example, we
00:39:01.700 start with
00:39:02.040 senators, okay?
00:39:03.620 Cory Booker.
00:39:05.320 Now, Cory Booker
00:39:06.340 to me has no
00:39:07.480 chance of being
00:39:08.120 president and I
00:39:08.860 never, I know I
00:39:10.280 should never say
00:39:11.080 that because every
00:39:12.120 time I say it,
00:39:13.000 that person's
00:39:14.000 president.
00:39:14.740 Right, I said it
00:39:15.260 about Barack Obama.
00:39:16.280 I was like, this
00:39:16.600 guy's been senator
00:39:17.400 for two years.
00:39:18.080 What, he's not
00:39:18.300 going to be
00:39:18.520 president?
00:39:19.260 And then he's
00:39:19.840 president.
00:39:20.300 All right, we've
00:39:20.740 seen this happen
00:39:21.300 over and over
00:39:21.800 again.
00:39:22.560 So Cory Booker, we
00:39:24.640 all know that he
00:39:25.620 had his I am
00:39:26.900 Spartacus moment.
00:39:28.340 He sure did.
00:39:28.800 And this is why
00:39:29.600 the big indication
00:39:30.260 is he's going to
00:39:30.840 run because he
00:39:31.800 did everything he
00:39:32.340 could to grandstand
00:39:33.320 during the
00:39:34.540 Kavanaugh thing.
00:39:35.560 The I am
00:39:35.920 Spartacus thing was
00:39:37.020 his way of saying,
00:39:37.920 I am such an
00:39:39.400 extreme opponent of
00:39:42.520 a conservative
00:39:43.100 justice.
00:39:43.840 I will break the
00:39:45.420 law to stop him.
00:39:47.700 Now, that was his
00:39:49.020 case.
00:39:49.300 We know he
00:39:49.780 didn't break the
00:39:50.460 law.
00:39:51.100 He was right.
00:39:51.800 He was thinking
00:39:52.180 about that.
00:39:52.680 He was actually
00:39:53.220 saying, no, it's
00:39:54.640 like a it's a it's a
00:39:55.620 police officer pulling
00:39:56.340 you over.
00:39:56.620 Go, by the way, you
00:39:57.120 were not speeding.
00:39:57.820 Yes, I was.
00:39:58.860 I sure was speeding
00:40:00.140 and I was drunk and
00:40:01.800 reckless driving, too.
00:40:03.300 Like he was trying to
00:40:04.520 convince everyone.
00:40:05.360 He was super tough.
00:40:06.740 So the incentives are
00:40:07.640 he was trying to
00:40:08.380 signal a 2020 run,
00:40:09.480 trying to get
00:40:09.780 activists on his
00:40:10.400 side.
00:40:10.640 I do not think it
00:40:11.680 worked.
00:40:12.720 I don't think it
00:40:13.460 worked either.
00:40:13.960 He doesn't.
00:40:14.680 I don't know.
00:40:15.260 Again, I don't want to
00:40:16.200 say that he's not going
00:40:16.960 to do it because we
00:40:17.800 have been wrong, but
00:40:18.980 he doesn't seem
00:40:20.760 likable.
00:40:22.680 Yeah.
00:40:23.060 And let's rate these as
00:40:24.060 we go through.
00:40:24.800 Do they have any chance
00:40:25.940 of being the Democratic
00:40:27.120 nominee and do they
00:40:28.540 have any chance of
00:40:29.420 beating Donald Trump
00:40:30.340 if they are?
00:40:31.120 I mean, I could see
00:40:31.940 Corey maybe at the
00:40:33.160 VP level.
00:40:34.940 Maybe.
00:40:35.480 Maybe.
00:40:35.780 Maybe.
00:40:35.820 That's a good point.
00:40:36.380 We'll add that
00:40:37.120 question, too.
00:40:37.700 So there's three
00:40:38.140 questions.
00:40:38.700 I like this.
00:40:39.560 VP, nominee, and
00:40:43.040 beating Trump.
00:40:44.140 Spartacus to ride
00:40:44.920 along.
00:40:45.780 I think that's the
00:40:46.560 only one he has a
00:40:47.180 chance for is VP.
00:40:48.380 And I think that
00:40:48.960 would be a very bad
00:40:49.940 decision by the
00:40:50.600 Democrats, but it's
00:40:51.160 possible.
00:40:52.160 All right.
00:40:52.240 We've got 40 of
00:40:52.880 these, so let's go.
00:40:54.560 The second one,
00:40:55.740 Sherrod Brown.
00:40:56.560 He is the senator
00:40:57.420 from Ohio.
00:40:58.940 He just won an easy
00:40:59.840 election in a state
00:41:01.800 that is known as a
00:41:02.960 swing state, but is
00:41:04.300 leaning red lately.
00:41:05.980 What he's known for,
00:41:07.000 of course, is the
00:41:07.500 Democrat that keeps
00:41:08.380 winning in Ohio.
00:41:09.420 This is according to
00:41:09.900 Politico, by the way,
00:41:10.560 put together this list.
00:41:12.020 He has, of course, been
00:41:13.080 focusing on re-election
00:41:13.940 for this last campaign.
00:41:14.960 People are thinking he's
00:41:15.920 kind of a left-wing
00:41:17.400 populist in a somewhat
00:41:19.460 red state that continues
00:41:20.660 to win an important
00:41:21.500 state for the election.
00:41:22.700 Would this be a good
00:41:23.880 candidate?
00:41:24.720 No way.
00:41:25.500 So let's go up the
00:41:26.580 list here.
00:41:26.980 Could he be a VP
00:41:27.760 candidate?
00:41:28.300 I think the answer is
00:41:29.100 yes.
00:41:29.840 I think yes, it could
00:41:30.660 be.
00:41:31.320 Could he be the
00:41:31.940 nominee?
00:41:32.760 This is a question here.
00:41:33.780 I think it's possible.
00:41:37.160 I think there's a path
00:41:38.100 there for Sherrod Brown.
00:41:39.460 I think it's a narrow
00:41:40.900 path, and I think the
00:41:42.140 issue with him is he's
00:41:43.560 not going to be seen as
00:41:45.000 an extremist activist
00:41:48.340 favorite.
00:41:49.160 He's not going to get a
00:41:49.800 lot of the left, left,
00:41:50.900 left-wing love.
00:41:52.000 He's only going to get
00:41:52.520 left, left-wing love.
00:41:53.340 As a VP runner, though,
00:41:54.760 as VP, he brings you
00:41:56.180 Ohio, right?
00:41:57.440 Maybe.
00:41:58.620 That's the thought.
00:41:59.420 Right.
00:42:00.040 And he's not known
00:42:02.600 enough to where he could
00:42:03.540 be.
00:42:04.720 I'm not that extreme.
00:42:06.520 I'm on your side.
00:42:07.260 Right.
00:42:08.020 The VP one I can
00:42:09.060 definitely see, because
00:42:10.380 especially if you get a
00:42:11.380 more left-wing candidate,
00:42:12.860 more activist-level
00:42:13.820 candidate running, you
00:42:15.780 could see them, okay,
00:42:16.900 Sherrod Brown, he's a
00:42:17.960 long, he's been around.
00:42:19.100 It's kind of, you know,
00:42:20.260 it's not a sexy pick, but
00:42:21.600 you could see somebody
00:42:22.320 picking him as a VP.
00:42:23.200 I do not think he's,
00:42:24.960 people like him against
00:42:26.420 Trump on the Democratic
00:42:27.880 side, the people who
00:42:28.840 argue for him because
00:42:30.100 he could pick off some
00:42:31.700 of, that was the area
00:42:32.640 that Trump won that
00:42:33.840 previous Republicans like
00:42:35.080 Romney didn't, right?
00:42:36.520 That area, right?
00:42:37.780 Guys like Cory Booker
00:42:38.780 or I don't know that
00:42:39.560 they know what they're
00:42:40.520 up against.
00:42:41.600 I don't think so either.
00:42:43.020 All right, so there we
00:42:43.600 go.
00:42:44.020 Kirsten Gillibrand, she's
00:42:45.380 the senator from New
00:42:47.340 York.
00:42:48.160 She's, of course, been
00:42:49.980 big on the Me Too
00:42:50.760 thing.
00:42:51.140 She's kind of had a
00:42:51.700 public face as far as
00:42:52.800 senators.
00:42:53.200 Go on the Me Too
00:42:53.920 thing.
00:42:54.380 She said that Bill
00:42:55.100 Clinton should have 1.00
00:42:55.680 resigned during the
00:42:56.380 Monica Lewinsky scandal.
00:42:58.220 She led the campaign 0.73
00:43:00.840 to get Al Franken to
00:43:02.160 resign as well.
00:43:03.820 She's already visited
00:43:04.860 New Hampshire and
00:43:05.620 Nevada.
00:43:06.960 And she's gone to,
00:43:08.320 she's kind of been
00:43:09.060 known as a, not a
00:43:11.660 super far left
00:43:12.960 Democrat.
00:43:13.660 Again, we're talking
00:43:14.600 degrees of left here.
00:43:16.460 So I understand that
00:43:17.420 she's very liberal, but
00:43:18.740 she's been trying to
00:43:19.840 position herself as a
00:43:20.660 little more moderate
00:43:21.360 than the, you know,
00:43:23.200 the far left people.
00:43:25.080 She also, though, has
00:43:25.780 now been lately moving
00:43:27.740 left to try to attract
00:43:28.840 those activists.
00:43:29.520 She's saying she wants
00:43:30.560 to abolish ICE, for
00:43:31.560 example.
00:43:32.260 I mean, this is a, you
00:43:33.120 know, very far left
00:43:34.000 wing and a federal
00:43:34.960 jobs guarantee.
00:43:36.340 I mean, these are
00:43:36.720 multiple trillion dollar
00:43:38.220 policies that she's 1.00
00:43:39.100 supporting.
00:43:39.660 No, she could, I could
00:43:40.720 see her definitely
00:43:41.420 running.
00:43:42.340 Definitely.
00:43:42.840 I mean, I definitely
00:43:43.500 running.
00:43:44.040 Yeah.
00:43:44.340 That's the fourth
00:43:44.840 question.
00:43:45.260 Is he going to run?
00:43:46.180 Okay.
00:43:46.340 Now we're going to go.
00:43:47.600 Will she run? 0.90
00:43:48.760 I think the answer to
00:43:49.340 that is yes.
00:43:50.820 Could she be a VP?
00:43:51.940 I think the answer to
00:43:52.480 that is yes.
00:43:53.380 Yes.
00:43:53.760 Could she be the
00:43:54.440 nominee?
00:43:56.440 I don't know.
00:43:57.680 I wouldn't completely
00:43:58.840 rule it out.
00:43:59.780 Could she beat Donald
00:44:01.180 Trump?
00:44:01.780 I don't think so.
00:44:02.740 No way.
00:44:02.940 I don't think so.
00:44:04.840 No way.
00:44:05.380 It's not impossible, I
00:44:06.880 guess, but I don't think
00:44:08.000 so.
00:44:08.200 Again, you got to
00:44:09.160 understand, too, that the
00:44:10.280 climate could be a little
00:44:11.020 bit different than it is
00:44:11.820 right now.
00:44:12.240 If the economy goes
00:44:12.980 south, almost anybody can
00:44:14.340 beat Donald Trump.
00:44:14.900 That economy has to
00:44:16.200 stay together, and that
00:44:17.760 is going to be very
00:44:18.420 difficult.
00:44:20.040 If it doesn't stay
00:44:21.120 together, there's going
00:44:21.960 to be a lot of trouble
00:44:22.660 there in this campaign.
00:44:23.600 Next up, Tim Kaine, the
00:44:26.500 most forgettable VP
00:44:27.840 candidate in history.
00:44:29.860 I bet 80% of Hillary 0.98
00:44:32.340 Clinton voters could not
00:44:33.760 name who they voted for
00:44:34.920 in that VP ticket.
00:44:36.200 He was a giant zilch as 1.00
00:44:39.640 a candidate.
00:44:40.400 He brought nothing to
00:44:41.620 that ticket.
00:44:42.160 That was too bad.
00:44:43.260 That did not work at
00:44:44.240 all.
00:44:44.300 It didn't work at all.
00:44:45.780 At all.
00:44:46.340 I mean, again, you can
00:44:48.400 always second-guess these
00:44:49.280 things, but people beat up
00:44:50.860 on the McCain pick of
00:44:52.120 Sarah Palin, and it's
00:44:52.900 like, well, Palin at
00:44:53.800 least energized the base
00:44:55.920 for McCain.
00:44:56.980 It was the only reason I
00:44:57.780 voted for him, to be
00:44:58.580 honest, at that time.
00:45:01.880 Yeah.
00:45:02.340 I mean, you can argue
00:45:03.400 that they were going to
00:45:04.040 win Alaska anyway, but
00:45:05.000 yes, okay.
00:45:06.080 But I mean, I think, too,
00:45:07.700 when you look at the exit
00:45:08.780 polling, more people
00:45:09.620 voted for the ticket
00:45:11.160 because of Sarah Palin
00:45:12.260 than voted against it
00:45:14.140 because of Sarah Palin.
00:45:15.600 So, I mean, I don't know.
00:45:16.580 It didn't wind up working,
00:45:17.560 and I think McCain
00:45:18.360 second-guessed it
00:45:19.880 before his death,
00:45:21.920 but he was,
00:45:24.360 I mean, I don't know
00:45:25.420 how you argue
00:45:26.040 in Cain's favor here.
00:45:27.560 He did nothing.
00:45:28.860 He had a chance
00:45:30.080 in the spotlight
00:45:30.680 and did nothing with it.
00:45:32.680 He's not going to run.
00:45:33.720 He cannot be the vice
00:45:34.460 president.
00:45:35.220 He's not going to be
00:45:35.920 the nominee,
00:45:36.240 and there's no way
00:45:37.040 he could beat Trump.
00:45:37.760 All of those things
00:45:38.440 I think were agreed on.
00:45:40.180 Yes.
00:45:40.460 Amy Klobuchar,
00:45:41.460 she is the senator
00:45:42.320 from Minnesota.
00:45:44.360 She is, you know,
00:45:46.280 talked about
00:45:46.940 in Democratic circles
00:45:47.820 as a centrist.
00:45:49.520 She is,
00:45:50.440 I don't necessarily
00:45:51.320 believe that, of course,
00:45:52.160 but that's the way
00:45:52.780 she's talked about.
00:45:54.160 She is a Democrat
00:45:55.440 in a state that leans blue
00:45:57.360 but was pretty close
00:45:58.260 in 2016.
00:46:00.240 There are now
00:46:00.780 two female senators. 1.00
00:46:01.580 I think, too,
00:46:02.200 the female advantage 0.97
00:46:02.980 here is important.
00:46:03.940 I would be,
00:46:04.560 I would not be,
00:46:05.900 I would be stunned
00:46:07.280 if one of the two
00:46:08.720 places on that ticket
00:46:10.120 are not a woman.
00:46:12.160 Yeah, they almost
00:46:12.660 have to be.
00:46:13.140 This is a party
00:46:13.620 that is obsessed
00:46:14.340 with identity.
00:46:14.940 Yeah, they almost
00:46:15.520 have to be.
00:46:16.440 And so I think,
00:46:17.740 I think Klobuchar,
00:46:18.560 absolute VP candidate
00:46:20.680 as a possibility.
00:46:22.820 Do you think she'll run?
00:46:24.360 I think there's
00:46:25.200 a good chance of it.
00:46:25.920 I'm not sold.
00:46:26.920 I don't know.
00:46:27.480 But she's not 0.62
00:46:28.200 particularly well-known
00:46:29.460 outside of her state.
00:46:31.240 Could she be the nominee?
00:46:33.100 I think there's
00:46:33.720 a path there.
00:46:34.720 I think there's a path
00:46:35.460 for almost every woman
00:46:37.800 on this list
00:46:38.780 that hasn't shown
00:46:39.780 themselves to be
00:46:40.620 particularly awful.
00:46:43.440 We'll get to some
00:46:44.060 of those in a bit.
00:46:45.460 Can she beat Trump?
00:46:46.440 No way.
00:46:47.320 That's going to be tough one.
00:46:48.220 You've got to have a fighter
00:46:48.980 in that role, I think.
00:46:49.860 Yes.
00:46:50.180 I think they learned
00:46:50.940 their lesson from that.
00:46:51.800 And they have to have
00:46:52.380 someone that can,
00:46:53.060 you know,
00:46:53.400 someone that can take up,
00:46:54.800 a fighter.
00:46:55.540 Yeah, I mean,
00:46:55.900 that's the only way
00:46:56.480 to say it.
00:46:56.860 They've got to be able
00:46:57.440 to take those punches
00:46:58.300 and punch back. 0.54
00:46:59.420 And punch back well.
00:47:00.620 Punch back well.
00:47:01.080 Hillary Clinton was
00:47:01.900 terrible at that.
00:47:03.580 She could not do it at all.
00:47:04.800 And I think it was
00:47:05.300 probably her biggest
00:47:06.120 downfall as far as
00:47:07.060 that election went.
00:47:07.760 Now, look,
00:47:08.040 her policies are all 1.00
00:47:08.740 terrible, too.
00:47:09.340 But Democrats don't
00:47:10.200 care about that.
00:47:11.320 The people who could
00:47:12.320 have voted for Hillary
00:47:13.020 and decided instead
00:47:13.820 to vote for Trump,
00:47:14.880 I think just saw her
00:47:15.740 as just incapable.
00:47:17.260 She couldn't deal,
00:47:18.400 if she can't deal
00:47:18.860 with the pressure there,
00:47:19.940 can she deal with,
00:47:20.720 you know,
00:47:21.320 the Vladimir Putins
00:47:22.220 of the world?
00:47:22.680 Look, she was 1.00
00:47:23.020 Secretary of State
00:47:23.800 in a period that
00:47:25.180 wasn't exactly successful,
00:47:26.840 in my estimation.
00:47:28.540 But, you know,
00:47:29.100 we'll see.
00:47:29.680 Jeff Merkley,
00:47:31.220 he is the senator
00:47:32.060 from Oregon.
00:47:34.160 He is the only
00:47:35.200 U.S. senator
00:47:35.900 to endorse Bernie Sanders
00:47:37.360 in 2016.
00:47:38.200 So you see the approach
00:47:38.940 he's going for here.
00:47:39.840 Is it Jeff Merkley?
00:47:40.300 Jeff Merkley.
00:47:41.420 He's a big climate guy.
00:47:43.060 Big, big,
00:47:43.860 I would, you know,
00:47:44.380 call him a climate
00:47:45.260 extremist in my mind,
00:47:46.520 but he's a big climate guy.
00:47:48.340 He has been open
00:47:49.160 about the possibility
00:47:50.060 of running.
00:47:50.660 He's visited
00:47:51.180 the early states.
00:47:52.340 He's reportedly
00:47:53.120 hired staffers
00:47:54.080 in Iowa and Nevada
00:47:55.080 with a pack there.
00:47:57.820 Again, I don't,
00:47:58.680 maybe he's going to run.
00:47:59.860 It seems like
00:48:00.240 he's leading that way.
00:48:01.720 I do not think
00:48:02.480 he's a serious contender
00:48:04.420 for the nomination
00:48:05.120 or, you know,
00:48:06.860 someone's going to grab
00:48:07.640 that Bernie Sanders
00:48:08.400 mantle there.
00:48:09.220 And it may or may not
00:48:10.000 be Bernie himself.
00:48:11.180 We'll get to him
00:48:11.620 here in a second.
00:48:12.820 But I don't think
00:48:14.440 it's going to be Merkley.
00:48:15.280 He's not known
00:48:16.500 well enough.
00:48:17.280 Could he be a VP
00:48:18.160 candidate even?
00:48:19.760 I mean, the only way
00:48:20.560 I could see it happening
00:48:21.220 is if you had a,
00:48:22.360 someone who was
00:48:24.080 really considered
00:48:25.280 to be a centrist
00:48:27.280 Democrat somehow won
00:48:28.520 and they wanted
00:48:29.460 to pull someone over
00:48:30.260 to get the left wing
00:48:31.100 on their side.
00:48:31.920 But I don't see it.
00:48:32.540 That says it all
00:48:33.200 about Jeff Merkley
00:48:34.140 because I actually
00:48:34.720 looked him up.
00:48:35.380 I really meant it.
00:48:36.620 Who?
00:48:37.260 Yeah.
00:48:38.940 Education.
00:48:39.560 Woodrow Wilson School
00:48:40.540 of Public and International
00:48:41.740 Affairs.
00:48:42.380 There you go.
00:48:42.720 Number one.
00:48:43.540 There you go.
00:48:44.620 All right, let's take a break.
00:48:45.420 We have a bunch more
00:48:46.380 to get to here.
00:48:47.400 Who is going to be
00:48:48.280 running against Donald Trump?
00:48:49.620 We're figuring that out today.
00:48:50.680 We're solving that issue
00:48:51.660 for you.
00:48:52.460 It's Stu and Jeffy here
00:48:53.740 for Glenn Beck
00:48:54.520 on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:48:57.280 The 888-727-BECK 0.61
00:48:59.360 is the phone number
00:49:00.040 and also the number
00:49:00.660 you should call now
00:49:01.340 if you're in Florida
00:49:01.980 and want to go to the
00:49:02.640 Tampa or Orlando
00:49:03.560 Stage Tour show.
00:49:04.820 We're coming next week
00:49:05.840 to Tampa
00:49:06.700 on November 30th
00:49:07.700 which is Friday
00:49:08.260 a week from today
00:49:09.620 and Orlando December 1st.
00:49:11.140 If you'd like to go

00:49:12.640 give us a call.
00:49:13.640 We're giving away
00:49:14.000 a pair of tickets now.
00:49:15.100 888-727-BECK
00:49:16.820 is the phone number.
00:49:18.260 We're going through
00:49:18.680 the 2020 candidates
00:49:19.960 for President of the United States.
00:49:21.680 It's Stu and Jeffy
00:49:22.340 in for Glenn.
00:49:23.420 And we have,
00:49:24.120 we're down to
00:49:24.580 Elizabeth Warren.
00:49:25.660 Now when I talked
00:49:26.260 just a moment ago
00:49:27.080 about how you need
00:49:27.980 to have someone
00:49:28.400 if you want to beat
00:49:28.880 Donald Trump
00:49:29.340 they're going to have
00:49:29.820 to pick somebody
00:49:30.300 who can fight
00:49:30.900 and hang
00:49:31.420 and deal with the pressure
00:49:32.400 of the sort of stuff
00:49:34.480 he brings, right?
00:49:35.300 Like Pocahontas, right? 1.00
00:49:37.100 She has proved
00:49:37.940 she cannot handle that.
00:49:39.260 I know.
00:49:39.860 She is the ultimate example
00:49:41.180 of somebody who is,
00:49:42.480 if they name her
00:49:43.560 the nominee
00:49:44.000 if she gets that gig
00:49:45.100 she is going to get
00:49:46.240 destroyed by Donald Trump.
00:49:48.280 That's for sure.
00:49:48.940 And look, obviously
00:49:49.700 I don't want
00:49:50.580 Elizabeth Warren
00:49:51.140 to be president
00:49:51.620 so go ahead
00:49:52.660 and name her
00:49:52.980 because she's going to lose.
00:49:54.380 But stranger things
00:49:56.300 have happened in the world
00:49:57.160 and so I do not want her
00:49:58.520 being president
00:49:58.960 of the United States.
00:49:59.620 Well, it's possible
00:50:00.340 that they run her though.
00:50:02.060 She's one of the top tier people. 0.98
00:50:03.560 I will say
00:50:03.980 I think she destroyed
00:50:05.140 her chances
00:50:05.720 with this whole
00:50:06.500 I went to 23andme.com
00:50:09.720 and they said
00:50:10.220 I was 1,000th
00:50:11.540 Native American.
00:50:12.680 It was so poorly
00:50:14.080 that I think
00:50:17.620 unfortunately
00:50:19.100 Democrats got the idea
00:50:20.220 whoa, she's going to be
00:50:21.540 a disaster
00:50:22.040 if she's the nominee.
00:50:23.500 Listen to this.
00:50:23.980 This is from a podcast
00:50:25.800 538 did a podcast
00:50:27.220 going through a bunch
00:50:28.140 of the nominees as well
00:50:29.020 a couple weeks ago
00:50:30.000 and the crowd
00:50:30.880 is very Democratic.
00:50:31.940 They're cheering
00:50:33.180 Amy Klobuchar
00:50:34.020 and they're inside
00:50:34.840 politics people.
00:50:36.100 So listen to the crowd
00:50:37.300 reaction however
00:50:38.040 to Elizabeth Warren.
00:50:39.460 Listen to this.
00:50:40.320 So Claire
00:50:40.720 who is the number one
00:50:42.300 overall choice
00:50:43.040 in our 2020
00:50:43.720 Democratic primary draft?
00:50:45.460 I am sticking with
00:50:46.340 my last first round
00:50:48.080 choice of Elizabeth Warren.
00:50:49.720 Elizabeth Warren.
00:50:50.860 Okay, there it is.
00:50:52.420 They don't like that.
00:50:54.560 I mean that is not
00:50:56.580 it's not an endorsement.
00:50:57.660 They don't like that.
00:50:58.260 I'll tell you that.
00:50:59.720 And I think that's smart.
00:51:01.160 She cannot
00:51:01.780 no, she cannot
00:51:02.960 she's not
00:51:03.520 I mean I think
00:51:04.340 she's going to run 1.00
00:51:04.920 but I do not think
00:51:05.780 she has a chance of winning.
00:51:07.420 How about Bernie Sanders?
00:51:08.900 Bernie Sanders
00:51:09.320 is next up on the list.
00:51:10.560 No way.
00:51:10.920 We're going through
00:51:11.280 I think there's 40 of these
00:51:12.220 by the way.
00:51:13.040 Bernie Sanders
00:51:13.500 can he win the nomination?
00:51:15.180 I mean he finished
00:51:15.760 second last time.
00:51:16.820 He was competitive
00:51:17.560 with Hillary.
00:51:18.560 There's an argument
00:51:19.200 to be made.
00:51:19.840 I know.
00:51:20.560 But I do feel like
00:51:21.280 he's old news, right?
00:51:22.340 Yes, he is old news
00:51:23.180 and he's old.
00:51:24.280 And he's old.
00:51:24.900 He's 77.
00:51:25.900 I mean that's
00:51:26.300 look Elizabeth Warren
00:51:27.400 has that issue too.
00:51:28.760 I mean everybody
00:51:29.120 wants to think of her
00:51:29.840 as a little young
00:51:30.860 spring chicken senator
00:51:31.860 but she's not.
00:51:32.800 No, she is
00:51:33.520 she's what 0.95
00:51:33.920 67, 68?
00:51:35.500 69.
00:51:35.820 69.
00:51:36.520 Look, Donald Trump's
00:51:37.200 not young either though
00:51:37.960 but I think like
00:51:39.040 that's a smart thing
00:51:40.340 for the Democrats
00:51:40.840 to do
00:51:41.120 is probably
00:51:41.520 pick somebody
00:51:43.000 who can make
00:51:43.700 that point, right?
00:51:44.680 Right.
00:51:45.280 If you've got
00:51:46.180 a 50 year old candidate
00:51:46.980 you can say
00:51:47.240 look, I mean
00:51:47.820 Donald Trump's
00:51:48.780 the old policy
00:51:49.420 of the past
00:51:49.940 you know they're
00:51:50.240 going to say it anyway.
00:51:51.540 Bernie Sanders
00:51:52.160 will be like
00:51:52.460 I'm the future
00:51:53.000 the future of Marxism.
00:51:54.380 I think wow
00:51:55.640 what a dive
00:51:56.820 into the future
00:51:57.460 there Bernie
00:51:58.060 but I don't think
00:51:59.780 he's going to win
00:52:00.840 I would be stunned
00:52:02.060 if he is the guy
00:52:03.680 I think they can get
00:52:04.520 the same policies
00:52:06.180 from somebody
00:52:07.240 in a better package
00:52:08.140 because when Bernie
00:52:09.360 came out the first time
00:52:10.260 people were like
00:52:11.020 oh well there's a lot
00:52:11.520 of socialists
00:52:11.980 in the Democratic Party
00:52:12.740 but they didn't say it.
00:52:13.900 Nope they did not.
00:52:14.660 They didn't admit it
00:52:15.500 back then.
00:52:16.180 And Bernie
00:52:16.640 one of the things
00:52:17.340 that Bernie does
00:52:18.560 is that you know
00:52:19.280 despite disliking him
00:52:21.060 and he's old
00:52:21.460 he's actually
00:52:22.020 you know
00:52:22.380 he's not dumb.
00:52:24.380 He knows how
00:52:25.700 to word his stuff
00:52:26.960 and where you have
00:52:27.980 what's her face
00:52:29.340 from New York
00:52:29.880 you're not going
00:52:30.580 to get that from her
00:52:31.260 it's too soon.
00:52:32.080 Ocasio-Cortez
00:52:32.860 well luckily
00:52:33.840 she's at least
00:52:34.360 seven years away
00:52:35.040 from having a chance
00:52:35.820 to run for president
00:52:36.560 but who knows
00:52:37.640 in this world
00:52:38.800 that needs to change
00:52:39.740 I don't know
00:52:40.060 who's responsible
00:52:41.020 for that.
00:52:41.620 Yeah exactly.
00:52:42.860 Bernie I don't think
00:52:43.960 it's going to happen
00:52:44.760 for Bernie here
00:52:45.540 but it's not
00:52:47.180 completely impossible
00:52:48.460 you have to think
00:52:49.480 that there's a path
00:52:50.280 there
00:52:50.620 and you hate 0.52
00:52:51.620 whenever you get
00:52:52.120 to a one-on-one
00:52:52.860 you know
00:52:53.860 well one-on-one
00:52:55.020 when it's
00:52:55.420 a lot of it has to do
00:52:56.940 with what's happening
00:52:57.600 at the time
00:52:58.240 if you know
00:52:58.860 a major world event
00:53:00.100 I mean no one would have
00:53:00.860 no one could have
00:53:01.900 beaten Barack Obama
00:53:03.240 in 2008
00:53:04.300 because of the
00:53:05.720 financial collapse
00:53:06.520 right
00:53:07.240 it happened a month
00:53:08.360 before
00:53:08.860 we were in the middle
00:53:09.500 of a massive recession
00:53:10.500 no matter who
00:53:11.300 the Democrats
00:53:11.860 trotted out there
00:53:12.620 and if they had
00:53:13.420 a socialist
00:53:13.880 we would have
00:53:14.620 elected one
00:53:15.140 and now Barack Obama
00:53:16.380 was pretty close
00:53:17.460 in many ways
00:53:18.060 to a socialist
00:53:18.500 but let me give you
00:53:19.260 the determination
00:53:20.080 the difference here
00:53:20.940 Bernie Sanders
00:53:21.860 in 2013
00:53:22.620 came out
00:53:24.280 with a proposal
00:53:24.800 for Medicare
00:53:25.400 for everyone
00:53:26.160 universal health care
00:53:27.240 he got no
00:53:28.540 co-sponsors
00:53:29.600 zero
00:53:30.520 now almost
00:53:31.840 everyone on this
00:53:32.720 list of senators
00:53:33.300 I just gave you
00:53:33.960 has openly supported
00:53:35.420 that bill
00:53:36.020 that's how far

00:54:15.060 a couple years
00:54:15.660 ago and we
00:54:16.200 had the best

00:54:17.920 amazing
00:54:18.640 awesome thank
00:54:19.560 you and you

00:54:26.180 relive the
00:54:26.760 best time

00:54:27.920 been a couple
00:54:28.300 years
00:54:28.700 I think it
00:54:30.160 should be
00:54:30.420 mandatory for
00:54:31.460 everybody to
00:54:32.620 go to see
00:54:34.240 and have some
00:54:34.940 good times
00:54:35.520 but at the
00:54:35.900 same time
00:54:36.380 listen to some
00:54:37.000 of the nonsense
00:54:37.680 that's going on
00:54:38.680 well we will
00:54:41.660 definitely do that
00:54:42.480 it'll take the
00:54:42.920 edge off the

00:54:43.560 I will say
00:54:44.040 we're a couple
00:54:44.480 years older
00:54:45.040 and fatter
00:54:45.540 so it's not
00:54:46.180 going to be
00:54:46.420 pretty but we
00:54:46.980 do appreciate
00:54:47.520 it and we'll

00:55:28.140 weren't
00:55:28.440 there was a
00:55:29.400 holiday working
00:55:30.360 all right we're
00:55:31.620 getting through
00:55:31.880 this list as
00:55:32.340 Jeffy points out
00:55:32.920 we've only made
00:55:33.280 it through eight
00:55:33.780 and a half an
00:55:34.280 hour there's
00:55:34.680 three on this
00:55:35.300 list so I'll
00:55:35.920 try to go
00:55:36.240 through there's
00:55:36.900 only one more
00:55:37.440 big a big name
00:55:38.460 senator here a
00:55:39.540 Kamala Harris would
00:55:40.380 be the one I
00:55:41.140 would say is in
00:55:41.700 the top tier here
00:55:42.480 and I think there
00:55:43.320 is an argument for
00:55:44.020 Kamala Harris on
00:55:44.720 all of our
00:55:45.280 questions I think
00:55:46.040 she's definitely
00:55:46.600 going to run I
00:55:47.680 think VP is
00:55:48.360 absolutely in the
00:55:49.180 picture for her
00:55:50.040 she's from
00:55:50.480 California she's 0.64
00:55:51.900 kind of the hot
00:55:52.460 she's like the
00:55:53.180 the hot new
00:55:54.100 you're getting
00:55:54.760 with Bernie
00:55:55.100 Sanders policies
00:55:56.000 out of a
00:55:57.120 younger female
00:55:58.320 candidate who
00:55:59.540 seems to have
00:56:00.400 ability she's a 0.99
00:56:02.540 former prosecutor so
00:56:03.720 she seems to
00:56:04.260 have ability in
00:56:05.660 that she can
00:56:06.520 deal with the
00:56:07.080 attacks and the
00:56:07.720 back and forth a
00:56:08.360 little bit with
00:56:08.780 Donald Trump she
00:56:09.760 was not impressive
00:56:10.380 in the Kavanaugh
00:56:11.020 thing but she 1.00
00:56:11.480 wasn't Cory Booker
00:56:12.360 she she was she
00:56:14.140 was she was
00:56:14.680 aggressive and I
00:56:16.200 would argue lied
00:56:17.320 a lot yes but
00:56:18.700 again remember we're
00:56:19.660 talking about
00:56:20.020 Democrats voting
00:56:20.780 for this so can
00:56:23.020 that happen
00:56:23.920 possible I think
00:56:25.320 it can I think
00:56:25.980 Kamala Harris is
00:56:26.740 in the top tier
00:56:28.260 sadly I think
00:56:28.580 that's that's true
00:56:29.580 Mark Warner from
00:56:30.860 Virginia I don't
00:56:32.140 know right
00:56:33.340 how about this
00:56:34.600 Jimmy I'll go
00:56:35.000 through these
00:56:35.280 names a lot of
00:56:35.940 them are going to
00:56:36.300 get more and more
00:56:36.800 obscure we all
00:56:37.480 know the only okay
00:56:38.280 let's go through
00:56:38.780 the list I mean we
00:56:39.320 all know the most
00:56:39.880 important person from
00:56:40.700 Virginia is Jim 0.94
00:56:41.360 Gilmore I don't
00:56:43.160 think Jim's running
00:56:43.960 no he's not he's
00:56:44.820 giving it a rest but
00:56:45.580 it's okay if you
00:56:46.880 have one that you
00:56:47.340 want we want to
00:56:47.780 expand on you can
00:56:48.760 stop me but I
00:56:49.400 think we're gonna
00:56:49.900 go through some of
00:56:50.460 these and just say
00:56:50.920 you know no how
00:56:52.840 about John Delaney
00:56:53.680 he's a US
00:56:54.220 representative from
00:56:54.960 Maryland no right 0.99
00:56:56.780 he's not he's not
00:56:57.400 gonna be the nominee
00:56:57.880 this one's interesting
00:56:58.880 though Tulsi
00:56:59.800 Gabbard now Tulsi
00:57:01.640 Gabbard I've never
00:57:02.540 heard her name
00:57:03.960 before she is a US 0.93
00:57:05.620 representative from
00:57:06.300 Hawaii she was
00:57:08.340 apparently a major
00:57:09.260 than you and the
00:57:09.960 army national guard
00:57:10.840 and Hawaii
00:57:11.300 representative she is
00:57:12.800 actually I've seen
00:57:14.320 her speak a couple of
00:57:15.460 times she's really
00:57:16.660 good but nobody
00:57:18.720 knows who she is
00:57:19.540 again that's the
00:57:20.460 problem now this is
00:57:21.340 this this opens us
00:57:22.360 up to a different
00:57:23.020 level of running for
00:57:23.800 president you don't
00:57:24.980 always run for
00:57:25.480 president to be
00:57:26.180 president sometimes
00:57:27.220 you run for president
00:57:28.080 to be a vice
00:57:30.080 presidential possibility
00:57:31.220 and sometimes you
00:57:32.360 run just to get
00:57:33.460 known get your name
00:57:34.580 good from zero
00:57:35.720 percent understanding
00:57:37.220 to 30 40 percent
00:57:39.040 so next time when you
00:57:39.900 want to run you have
00:57:40.560 a chance this might be
00:57:41.740 what we're looking at
00:57:42.120 here she's 37 years
00:57:43.320 old she would do that 1.00
00:57:44.120 and she's a Bernie 0.92
00:57:45.020 Sanders sort of
00:57:46.280 sure Democrat her
00:57:48.180 approach to foreign
00:57:48.980 policy including a
00:57:50.380 visit with Syrian
00:57:51.380 president Bashar
00:57:52.440 al-Assad put her
00:57:54.180 outside many in the
00:57:55.440 democratic mainstream
00:57:56.440 I don't know if
00:57:57.000 that's true but that
00:57:58.060 would be an
00:57:58.880 interesting thing to
00:57:59.800 talk about but she 0.79
00:58:01.320 has gone to early
00:58:02.020 states and apparently
00:58:03.060 again I don't it
00:58:04.400 doesn't seem like this
00:58:05.020 time would be the
00:58:05.620 time for her but it's
00:58:06.560 someone she needs to
00:58:08.080 be recognized I mean
00:58:09.160 you're right if she
00:58:10.360 runs it's because she 0.98
00:58:11.560 wants people to know
00:58:12.220 who she is and she
00:58:12.900 needs to do that
00:58:13.600 yeah expand again in
00:58:14.840 Hawaii is not a great
00:58:15.800 state to come from
00:58:17.240 however obviously we've
00:58:18.160 seen someone born in
00:58:19.180 Hawaii become president
00:58:20.080 also I would argue
00:58:21.140 the main one here is
00:58:24.000 the potential is VP
00:58:25.080 here there's a there's
00:58:26.280 not if you have a
00:58:27.560 80 like if you have
00:58:28.440 a Bernie Sanders
00:58:29.100 actually wins you
00:58:30.540 could see someone
00:58:31.480 like this being named
00:58:32.480 as a as a she'd be
00:58:34.320 a great VP for that
00:58:35.200 yeah Joe Kennedy
00:58:36.420 representative from
00:58:37.760 Massachusetts you got 0.65
00:58:38.560 the name you got
00:58:39.180 anything else I don't
00:58:40.180 I don't think so right
00:58:41.020 now all you have is
00:58:41.820 the the speech sweat
00:58:44.000 night right the lip
00:58:45.640 balm night lip balm
00:58:47.080 I don't know I think
00:58:48.520 that was him he's the
00:58:49.700 lip balm guy okay there
00:58:50.760 we go Seth Moulton he
00:58:53.660 is a US representative
00:58:54.700 for Massachusetts was
00:58:55.520 in the Marine Corps
00:58:56.220 known for pushing hard
00:58:58.320 to get more veterans
00:58:59.280 to run for office he
00:59:01.660 is pushed back against
00:59:02.700 Nancy Pelosi he's been
00:59:04.460 to New Hampshire and
00:59:05.260 Iowa you know I don't
00:59:07.340 know I mean I again
00:59:08.340 probably in the outside
00:59:10.100 picture for a VP that's
00:59:11.800 about maybe Beto O'Rourke
00:59:13.220 is you have to consider
00:59:14.140 probably at this point
00:59:15.060 oddly a top tier
00:59:16.160 candidate yeah he is a
00:59:17.600 US representative from
00:59:18.420 Texas famously lost to
00:59:19.940 Ted Cruz by less than
00:59:21.020 three points he they did
00:59:23.360 like him he was a good
00:59:24.220 campaigner I mean he did
00:59:25.140 a good job I mean he
00:59:26.960 very very liberal way
00:59:28.020 too liberal for Texas
00:59:28.960 but when it comes to
00:59:31.180 mainstream Democrat
00:59:32.000 right now probably right
00:59:33.380 there so absolutely he's
00:59:35.100 one that could really
00:59:35.660 make a damage he's
00:59:36.420 probably he's probably
00:59:38.240 yes to all of these
00:59:39.040 questions could he run
00:59:39.840 almost definitely could
00:59:41.300 he be the VP oh
00:59:42.060 definitely could he be
00:59:43.860 the nominee I think the
00:59:44.580 answer to that is yes
00:59:45.280 could he beat Trump in
00:59:46.240 the right circumstance
00:59:46.880 they the answer is
00:59:47.900 probably yes again I
00:59:49.440 think that it depends on
00:59:50.380 what happens with the
00:59:50.920 economy I don't know how
00:59:52.520 he would react to that
00:59:53.760 sort of pressure Cruz is
00:59:55.100 not the guy who brings
00:59:56.060 it like Trump does so I
00:59:57.500 don't know how I don't
00:59:58.500 know how that would go
00:59:59.400 but it's not impossible
01:00:01.640 not impossible again we're
01:00:03.020 just trying to eliminate
01:00:04.120 people Tim Ryan from
01:00:05.660 Ohio a state senator
01:00:07.000 that's there now US
01:00:08.080 representative he is you
01:00:11.760 know he's been critical of
01:00:12.760 Pelosi he's one of those
01:00:14.120 rust belt guys I don't 0.99
01:00:15.540 think so Eric Swalwell
01:00:17.360 does look like he's going
01:00:18.300 to run he's 37 years old
01:00:19.980 he's the US representative
01:00:21.340 representative from
01:00:22.140 California most famously
01:00:23.240 recently he talked about
01:00:24.480 nuking the United States
01:00:25.640 in case people had
01:00:26.420 gone I was just trying to
01:00:27.380 think I know this name
01:00:28.600 yes the new guy it does
01:00:30.820 look like he's going to
01:00:31.600 run I will say that again
01:00:33.200 I don't think he's a yes
01:00:34.300 on any of our questions
01:00:35.380 above that though he's not
01:00:36.960 going to be I don't think
01:00:37.600 he's a VP candidate I can
01:00:39.380 Trump will just spend the
01:00:40.860 the entire time beating
01:00:41.860 him up for wanting to nuke
01:00:43.060 the second amendment right
01:00:44.120 it'll be the end I guess I
01:00:45.920 I mean he doesn't again
01:00:47.300 when you're on Twitter
01:00:48.480 making ridiculous comments
01:00:49.600 like that you're saying
01:00:50.700 Swalwell is the perfect 0.70
01:00:51.680 example of what I was
01:00:52.360 talking about a guy who
01:00:53.600 is not known nationally
01:00:55.380 wants to be known
01:00:56.880 nationally and is using a
01:00:58.660 run for the presidency as
01:01:00.100 his opportunity to get
01:01:01.480 known that way so he's
01:01:03.060 trying to raise his
01:01:03.700 profile maybe this leads
01:01:05.340 to him running for Senate
01:01:06.460 or governor of California
01:01:08.180 at some point most
01:01:09.300 definitely you know that
01:01:10.820 is what you're trying to
01:01:11.760 do you're not trying to
01:01:12.780 become president as a
01:01:13.600 37 year old congressman
01:01:14.780 running with his profile
01:01:16.780 that's just it's not even
01:01:17.760 what he's attempting he
01:01:18.380 does anything he wants in
01:01:19.240 California if he wants to
01:01:20.240 nuke gun owners yeah
01:01:21.380 it's true it's odd but
01:01:23.000 true Steve Bullock he's
01:01:24.340 the governor of Montana
01:01:25.680 he is a red state
01:01:28.100 Democrat and that's a
01:01:29.240 profile a lot of people
01:01:30.240 on the left are looking
01:01:31.180 for and saying hey if we
01:01:32.880 pick a crazy liberal we're
01:01:34.080 going to lose again
01:01:34.820 instead we need to pick
01:01:36.280 someone who comes from a
01:01:37.580 red state who can talk to 0.87
01:01:39.300 the middle of the country a
01:01:40.880 little bit who can say hey
01:01:42.500 I understand that maybe not
01:01:43.860 all gun owners are
01:01:44.560 terrorists right do you
01:01:46.760 think I mean he's visited
01:01:48.160 the early states he
01:01:49.440 definitely seems like he's
01:01:50.500 going to run a VP
01:01:52.760 candidate is probably in
01:01:54.520 the picture for him again
01:01:55.960 though the profile probably
01:01:56.880 not high enough Andrew
01:01:58.200 Cuomo just reelected in
01:02:00.160 New York I think I think
01:02:01.660 Cuomo's got a lot of
01:02:02.360 corruption issues he's
01:02:03.180 going to have to deal with
01:02:03.960 I don't think he thinks
01:02:05.760 an awful lot of himself
01:02:06.780 and nobody loves Andrew
01:02:08.160 Cuomo but I don't think
01:02:11.100 there's a legitimate chance
01:02:12.440 he could I don't think
01:02:13.680 there's he could he could
01:02:15.100 run I don't even think
01:02:15.780 he's going to run but he
01:02:17.180 could run I don't think he
01:02:18.260 could be VP or nominee or
01:02:19.940 any of that I don't think
01:02:20.740 no no again how many
01:02:21.960 freaking New York people
01:02:22.800 do we have to run can we
01:02:23.860 get another state to do
01:02:24.740 anything I mean what is
01:02:26.820 this both parties are
01:02:28.480 running New York people all
01:02:29.700 the time I you know I'm I
01:02:31.300 was born in the state and I
01:02:32.600 don't want a New York
01:02:33.180 another New York president
01:02:34.100 we've had enough we've got
01:02:36.240 one right now we've got him
01:02:37.560 he's in office when he
01:02:38.840 decides to leave office and
01:02:40.100 that that's over let's go to
01:02:41.680 another state how about
01:02:42.480 that John Hickenlooper I
01:02:44.740 say no John you do I say
01:02:47.200 no because of the name
01:02:48.060 there's no way Hickenlooper
01:02:50.020 now you just can't have a
01:02:51.640 president Hickenlooper I
01:02:52.820 just feel like it just
01:02:53.580 doesn't work like if if
01:02:55.700 24 had a season where the
01:02:57.860 president his last name was
01:02:59.360 Hickenlooper it would not
01:03:00.560 work as a because it just
01:03:01.780 doesn't sound right it
01:03:03.360 doesn't sound right no it
01:03:04.300 doesn't sound right I don't
01:03:05.440 know why that's not fair I
01:03:07.240 understand that Hickenlooper
01:03:08.800 is a grocery store in
01:03:10.440 Illinois somewhere now what
01:03:12.180 Politico right Hickenlooper
01:03:14.440 would be a great place to
01:03:15.920 get chicken cutler you get
01:03:17.020 those at Hickenlooper's
01:03:17.980 they're the best ever that
01:03:19.120 does feel like a grocery
01:03:20.240 store you're right you walk
01:03:22.140 into Hickenlooper's they've
01:03:22.960 got great produce on sale
01:03:24.140 organic on the left I feel
01:03:25.900 like that's possible he what
01:03:27.620 Politico says he's known for
01:03:28.860 is he's a centrist he's a
01:03:30.980 business-oriented governor but
01:03:33.140 he led the way on gun
01:03:34.360 control and I do remember him
01:03:35.560 from the gun control debate he
01:03:36.800 is super far left on that
01:03:38.500 issue so that's interesting he he
01:03:41.700 is big friends by the way with
01:03:42.840 John Kasich now Kasich is not
01:03:44.980 on this list but he wants to
01:03:47.340 run but I mean look he's he's
01:03:49.000 you think he's he's at least
01:03:50.520 exploring a run if he can
01:03:52.120 justify a run he will do it
01:03:53.700 against Trump justify it anyway
01:03:55.240 probably as an independent
01:03:56.520 right yeah he said he was
01:03:57.660 looking at an independent or a
01:03:58.760 third party yeah I mean the
01:04:00.320 more third okay stop it John
01:04:02.400 yeah I mean look Kasich has no
01:04:04.280 chance of winning but also is
01:04:07.100 uh the the thought here though
01:04:08.780 is Kasich Hickenlooper or
01:04:10.880 Hickenlooper Kasich running as
01:04:12.420 a unity candidate I want that
01:04:14.480 ticket now I do I want I'm
01:04:16.800 voting yes to this ticket but
01:04:18.060 the bigger question is do you
01:04:18.940 get your stakes at Kasich's or
01:04:20.200 Hickenlooper's because I feel
01:04:21.840 like both of them okay Jay
01:04:23.660 Inslee he's the governor of
01:04:25.080 Washington uh he's it was a
01:04:27.400 U.S. representative currently the
01:04:29.120 chairman of the Democratic
01:04:29.820 Governors Association uh big
01:04:31.860 climate guy that's kind of his
01:04:33.440 thing I don't think climate's a
01:04:34.480 path to the White House though
01:04:35.420 no Al Gore could maybe answer
01:04:37.200 that uh but you know Gore had 0.98
01:04:39.420 to run two terms as a VP to
01:04:40.820 even get in the picture to be
01:04:42.060 president and he's really the
01:04:43.160 main guy on that issue and I
01:04:45.400 just don't think you can't be a
01:04:46.920 one one issue guy on climate
01:04:49.220 people don't care enough they
01:04:50.400 say they care but they don't
01:04:51.320 care and it was he a what one
01:04:52.640 was he that bad when he was
01:04:54.280 running Gore yeah well no he
01:04:56.780 tried to run a little bit
01:04:57.760 towards I don't remember him
01:04:58.940 being that as bad as he became
01:05:00.420 I remember going back and
01:05:01.800 looking at his old books and
01:05:02.900 that's where a lot of the
01:05:03.540 stuff you found the really
01:05:04.560 crazy stuff it's like oh he
01:05:05.900 wants to get rid of all cars
01:05:07.340 like wait all right I don't
01:05:08.800 think this is okay Terry
01:05:10.340 McAuliffe big Clinton ally
01:05:11.760 uh former governor or he's
01:05:13.780 current governor excuse me of
01:05:14.920 Virginia he used to be the
01:05:16.260 he's a former DNC guy yeah
01:05:18.120 real political insider Hillary
01:05:20.180 guy all the way I think he
01:05:21.580 could run I can't imagine
01:05:23.400 they go down this road this
01:05:24.140 is essentially running a male
01:05:25.140 Hillary Clinton yeah and I
01:05:26.540 can't imagine that's a good
01:05:27.420 idea for the Democrats uh and
01:05:29.060 I don't think they're gonna go
01:05:29.700 that way no the Clintons
01:05:31.340 need to be gone and he's
01:05:34.360 basically a Clinton he's
01:05:35.500 basically a Clinton and so I
01:05:37.140 would say no I would say the
01:05:38.580 Clintons make the Democratic 1.00
01:05:39.820 Party untouchable yeah we're
01:05:41.360 talking about the Democratic
01:05:42.220 nominees a big list of them
01:05:43.460 which ones do you think have a
01:05:44.760 chance which ones uh are not
01:05:46.600 even serious competitors
01:05:47.620 Martin O'Malley I mean he's not
01:05:48.920 he couldn't even win last time
01:05:50.260 when there's three candidates
01:05:51.060 there's gonna be 30 this time
01:05:52.100 he has no chance
01:05:52.660 Deval Patrick I don't think
01:05:55.340 has done a good enough job uh
01:05:57.000 as the governor of uh
01:05:57.940 Massachusetts uh he's you know
01:05:59.860 also with Bain Capital and he's
01:06:01.960 done all sorts of stuff he's a
01:06:03.200 close Obama uh ally uh but I I
01:06:06.680 feel like yeah yeah he's it's
01:06:09.520 it's not it's not out of the
01:06:10.580 question but I think I still
01:06:11.760 think unlikely those are we
01:06:13.720 still have where are we halfway
01:06:14.940 through we have them we still
01:06:16.560 have people uh a bunch of big
01:06:18.640 names left here in the
01:06:19.600 Democratic docket let's go
01:06:20.680 through more 888-727-BEC is the
01:06:23.260 phone number whoo man they feel
01:06:25.880 I mean I really this is a big
01:06:28.120 list but it's a bad list yeah I
01:06:30.080 mean there's not a lot in here
01:06:31.220 this is not a deep bench there's a
01:06:33.200 lot of people who want to run not a
01:06:34.640 lot of people who should we'll get
01:06:36.240 back with more in those uh it's
01:06:37.760 Stu and Jeffy here on Black Friday
01:06:39.880 uh for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck
01:06:41.480 program
01:06:41.820 we're going through the nominees
01:06:46.160 potential nominees for the 2020
01:06:47.920 election for Democrats Stu and
01:06:49.520 Jeffy in for Glenn Beck on the
01:06:51.260 Glenn Beck program we're making a
01:06:52.360 little headway I think so we
01:06:53.580 didn't we're about halfway through
01:06:54.780 the list I was hoping to get
01:06:55.580 through the whole thing in an
01:06:56.320 hour which is not realistic
01:06:57.480 apparently uh let me go through
01:06:59.140 these there's another list of the
01:07:00.240 mayors here and these are there's
01:07:01.900 only a few and I don't think any
01:07:03.100 of them are huge contenders the
01:07:05.240 biggest one would be Michael
01:07:06.060 Bloomberg does Michael Bloomberg
01:07:07.260 actually have a chance extremist on
01:07:09.740 guns he's an extremist on the
01:07:11.220 climate for sure he doesn't have a
01:07:12.380 chance he's probably gonna run
01:07:13.400 though just because he likes the
01:07:14.460 he likes the the love that he gets
01:07:16.760 he's been threatening this for a
01:07:17.940 while he ran as an independent as
01:07:20.940 a Republican now he's back to
01:07:22.220 Democrat he's registered again as
01:07:23.360 Democrat the other thing too is
01:07:24.580 he's got a lot of money a lot of
01:07:26.880 money and that's about it and
01:07:28.860 another thing too if you talk to
01:07:29.880 him he's so much smarter than we
01:07:31.220 are he knows what we want he is
01:07:33.180 really a bad candidate he's not
01:07:35.000 good on the front of the camera he's
01:07:36.820 a lot he's a lot less smart a lot
01:07:39.200 less intelligent than he believes he
01:07:40.560 is uh which is a problem it comes
01:07:43.280 off so I would say no to Bloomberg
01:07:44.880 but I mean you know any guy with
01:07:46.060 billions of dollars has a shot at
01:07:47.480 something like this I guess uh you
01:07:50.040 know uh let's see the other
01:07:51.540 I mean Eric Garcetti I'm skipping a
01:07:53.940 couple here I don't think so
01:07:55.280 former uh he's the mayor of Los
01:07:56.940 Angeles right uh but again I don't
01:07:58.460 think that that's gonna happen
01:07:59.420 Mitch Landrieu mayor of New Orleans
01:08:00.880 I mean things are so good in New
01:08:01.980 Orleans all the time that I can't
01:08:03.080 imagine he'd want to leave anyway
01:08:04.820 but uh he's a Democrat from the
01:08:06.500 South so people talk about him but
01:08:07.820 no I mean I don't think that's
01:08:08.860 really a thing so uh we should go
01:08:11.240 to there's a couple more categories
01:08:12.640 here you have the Obama alums so
01:08:15.480 people from the Obama administration
01:08:16.860 that are threatening runs and I
01:08:18.700 threatening is kind of the right
01:08:19.840 word in this context and we have
01:08:21.900 kind of the outsiders as well and
01:08:24.080 then maybe anybody else we we
01:08:25.580 missed there's also a lot of other
01:08:26.720 stuff going on I thought that
01:08:27.880 today was a good day to kind of run
01:08:29.080 through this and get you set up for
01:08:30.560 what's coming what's coming because
01:08:32.140 we're gonna go into the holiday
01:08:32.900 season you know uh you should start
01:08:35.540 to see announcements you'll get some
01:08:39.180 of these guys will start to either
01:08:40.620 announce to try to get ahead of it
01:08:42.340 like the small the smaller small well
01:08:44.480 or whatever his name is wall well uh
01:08:46.680 he will you know likely try to get
01:08:49.440 ahead of everybody but you'll start
01:08:51.080 getting the real people the real
01:08:52.400 contenders starting to announce in
01:08:53.660 January February and maybe even
01:08:55.540 March start seeing more ads for
01:08:57.220 Hickenloopers oh by the way Hickenloopers
01:09:00.600 two-for-one apples uh today in their
01:09:03.240 produce section make sure you go get
01:09:04.600 some Granny Smiths included at 0.99
01:09:06.740 Hickenloopers back with more in just a
01:09:09.080 second
01:09:09.240 Glenn Beck it's Stu and Jeffy here for
01:09:15.080 Glenn on the Glenn Beck program
01:09:16.320 we are going through the candidates
01:09:17.780 for 2020 from the Democratic Party
01:09:20.200 and uh I still think there's some on
01:09:24.100 this list that we have not uh that
01:09:26.340 are not actually included I would say
01:09:27.900 there are people who are not excuse me
01:09:29.540 not on this list that are we you know
01:09:31.420 that are potential people who could
01:09:33.420 run but we're going through this list
01:09:34.800 right now from Politico we've gone
01:09:36.540 through the senators we've gone through
01:09:37.640 the congressman there's a few serious
01:09:39.440 contenders there a lot a lot of
01:09:41.260 pretenders I would say there so let's
01:09:43.660 go with the this is the Obama alums
01:09:45.440 oh boy okay here we go leading off the
01:09:47.340 list as you would would expect Joe
01:09:50.420 Biden oh yeah now Biden I think
01:09:52.580 definitely is running absolutely the one
01:09:54.760 place I would say he definitely does
01:09:56.360 not have a chance to become is the
01:09:57.740 vice presidential candidate they're not
01:09:59.100 going to run him again as VP but he is
01:10:01.800 the over this is hard to for a lot of
01:10:04.080 people to understand he is the
01:10:05.580 overwhelming favorite to win the
01:10:07.860 nomination I believe that early polling
01:10:10.620 has him so far out ahead the last poll
01:10:12.800 they took he was ahead by 20 points
01:10:15.360 over every other competitor yeah they're
01:10:17.520 mad that he didn't run last time he
01:10:19.300 most definitely is and oh he definitely
01:10:21.400 is if you remember his son sort of
01:10:23.600 tragically passed away and he was
01:10:26.600 trying to figure out whether he could do
01:10:28.100 it or not his family kind of they
01:10:29.880 consulted with the family decided not to
01:10:31.520 run he would have been a much tougher
01:10:33.280 matchup for Donald Trump than Hillary 0.66
01:10:35.560 Clinton is yes now again Joe is he's
01:10:38.380 gonna say a lot of dumb things he's
01:10:40.060 gonna have a lot of gaffes he's but
01:10:41.780 he's getting up there in age too right
01:10:43.700 he's 75 yeah but the thing about Joe
01:10:47.480 is he will sit there and argue back and
01:10:50.360 forth he'll fight back he can deal with
01:10:53.100 the pressure it'd be fun to watch Joe
01:10:55.280 and Trump on stage together that would
01:10:56.700 be a fun one I want Biden to run just
01:10:59.500 because of that yeah like I think him
01:11:01.100 and him and Trump on stage would be
01:11:02.840 legitimately funny like just they would
01:11:05.100 just be insulting each other like crazy
01:11:06.860 I don't know I think that would be
01:11:08.840 entertaining to watch it would be fun I
01:11:10.380 think people I will say this I think
01:11:11.900 Republicans in general underestimate
01:11:13.900 Biden in this matchup now look Biden
01:11:16.700 has been a bad presidential candidate
01:11:18.760 he got just I mean destroyed in 2008
01:11:22.100 was not even a blip on the radar like
01:11:24.060 2% of the vote when Obama wound up
01:11:26.380 winning in that primary and he he lost
01:11:29.440 even worse in 1988 when he was he got
01:11:31.620 the plagiarism troubles and everything
01:11:32.940 else but he's been president for two
01:11:34.820 terms the Democrats look back at the
01:11:36.440 Obama administration fondly unlike
01:11:38.900 reality and I think Biden is a he's the
01:11:44.980 overwhelming favorite he'd have access
01:11:46.420 to a lot of that money if he decided to
01:11:48.820 run and knows he knows all the little
01:11:52.140 angles I mean he's the guy he knows how
01:11:54.460 to work this says I mean he would be
01:11:55.700 tough so I and I think especially if the
01:11:59.200 economy breaks down and goes south there is
01:12:03.060 a there's no you know there are some
01:12:05.460 indicators that that could be happening
01:12:06.900 but I mean right now economy looks pretty
01:12:08.520 strong if that continues you know Donald
01:12:11.740 Trump has a really good chance of winning
01:12:13.040 election against anybody a re-election
01:12:14.700 against anybody but Biden is not the type
01:12:17.060 like an Elizabeth Warren whether the
01:12:19.580 economy is good or not would have a
01:12:21.560 tough time dealing with Donald Trump Joe
01:12:23.600 Biden Joe Biden wouldn't aesthetically and
01:12:26.640 that's a big thing for a lot of people who
01:12:28.220 don't pay attention to issues they're not
01:12:29.520 gonna know where any of these guys stand
01:12:30.760 on anything you know that's where a lot
01:12:32.300 of these these elections get to decided
01:12:34.220 and Biden might be he's I think tougher
01:12:37.920 than people realize oh he most definitely
01:12:39.820 is yeah and then he's got and he's got the
01:12:42.400 Obama muscle behind him yeah I mean that
01:12:45.260 that'll be huge in the run Julian Castro
01:12:48.700 now he was a mayor of San Antonio was the
01:12:51.700 U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban
01:12:53.080 Development he really wants to be president
01:12:55.120 he's been talked about for a long time I
01:12:57.620 mean I I think he's another one who's
01:12:59.960 running for name recognition expansion
01:13:02.860 right like he's the one who's out there
01:13:04.540 saying okay know who I am so in four
01:13:07.080 years I can run I don't think he would
01:13:09.560 probably in the conversation for VP but
01:13:12.140 he's not I mean the biggest thing he's
01:13:14.500 had really is mayor of San Antonio and
01:13:16.940 no one cares who the housing and urban
01:13:18.180 development person is no one no one's
01:13:19.500 like oh I gotta have that guy as my
01:13:20.720 president right plus you know is maybe
01:13:23.100 it's just me but I have a hard time
01:13:24.880 thinking that someone with the last name
01:13:26.240 Castro is going to be president of the
01:13:28.140 United States it's a great I will say I
01:13:30.480 remember somebody making this point
01:13:31.480 really early on in 2008 and saying the
01:13:34.220 United States of America is not going to
01:13:35.980 elect a person who has the name Hussein in
01:13:40.300 his name I know and a guy who has one
01:13:42.700 letter away from Osama in his name I know 1.00
01:13:45.120 which but it's and we did twice not
01:13:47.600 exactly the same though it's true it is
01:13:50.100 not exactly the same that's a good point
01:13:51.840 I will say to a interesting point on
01:13:54.080 because he's he's a one of twin
01:13:56.680 brothers would we have a situation where
01:13:59.400 they could just switch off with a gig
01:14:01.200 apparently that was rumored to have
01:14:02.900 happened in San Antonio where he would
01:14:04.920 his boys twin brother would show up to
01:14:07.700 like parades and stuff the worst case
01:14:09.540 the worst case that's tremendous
01:14:11.080 Christmas movie right yeah at the very
01:14:14.480 least you got that going for you all
01:14:16.160 right Hillary Clinton any chance she's 1.00
01:14:18.420 actually running no way I think the
01:14:20.200 answer to that is no as well I think
01:14:23.140 the I think she realizes that the
01:14:25.940 speeches the books the interviews all
01:14:28.000 that gets diminished significantly the
01:14:30.820 second she says no I'm not running so
01:14:33.060 keep it alive as long she has to keep
01:14:34.920 it alive and I mean they need the money
01:14:36.300 now right so they're on the tour they're
01:14:38.500 writing books she's speaking she's out
01:14:40.740 there but how can they need the money
01:14:42.480 they they're like billionaires at this
01:14:44.720 point are they I don't think so I mean
01:14:48.840 maybe they are maybe they are maybe
01:14:50.220 maybe that's their net worth overall but
01:14:53.000 I mean some of that money we've heard
01:14:54.240 reports all all kinds of reports that
01:14:56.100 the foundation money has well the
01:14:58.720 foundation though is that's what they
01:15:00.500 were living supposed to be different
01:15:02.020 supposed to be a different pile of
01:15:04.200 money I don't know if it is of course
01:15:05.660 it is that's what I'm sorry what was I
01:15:07.240 thinking yeah you're not saying that
01:15:09.640 they're accessing no no no no no no no
01:15:11.640 Eric Holder now I will say Eric Holder
01:15:14.580 wants to run yes he does he is making a
01:15:16.780 lot of signals I don't think he would
01:15:17.980 be he's not likable enough he seems like
01:15:21.240 a kind of a jerk now that might work
01:15:23.680 early on in the campaign because you
01:15:25.560 can kind of be insulting to you know
01:15:27.480 like he was saying like when they go low
01:15:29.040 we kick them yeah that's his famous
01:15:30.720 quote from recently like that attitude
01:15:32.640 will appeal to some activists it will
01:15:34.540 appeal to some donors it might give him
01:15:37.020 enough to convince himself to give this a
01:15:40.380 whirl yeah but again I don't think he
01:15:43.260 wants you're right he wants to he's
01:15:45.240 not going to come through a field like
01:15:46.240 that I don't think unless he's a much
01:15:47.720 better politician that he seems to be
01:15:49.440 you know because you got to have you
01:15:51.060 got to be able to relate to break
01:15:52.360 through and that is that's does not
01:15:54.500 seem to be a strength I mean this
01:15:56.360 one's a joke John Kerry they're not
01:15:58.660 gonna run John Kerry again are they
01:16:00.720 stop it I mean I would love it I mean
01:16:02.760 what Kerry is what now 95 he's only
01:16:04.960 74 oh sorry he's like the youngest guy
01:16:07.720 on this list
01:16:08.360 he actually is he actually is like wow
01:16:12.920 we got somebody only in their early to
01:16:14.300 mid 70s wow no sir Kerry's 74 obviously
01:16:19.100 was Secretary of State I don't think
01:16:20.120 there's any chance no way okay he I mean
01:16:21.740 he's already run and lost right I mean
01:16:23.120 he's already done we're through with
01:16:25.040 him yes if he was gonna run again
01:16:26.740 probably the year would have been 2008
01:16:29.160 right like I mean this is before we
01:16:31.500 knew about Barack Obama if he was gonna
01:16:33.080 run again he would have had to do it in
01:16:34.740 2008 and it's over now I think okay out
01:16:37.640 the outsiders is this next group
01:16:39.320 Michael Avenatti no Michael Avenatti he
01:16:43.040 may run but he's a joke and the
01:16:45.480 Democrats now hate him I don't know if
01:16:47.460 anyone's noticed this the second he was
01:16:49.020 no longer useful you know the Stormy
01:16:51.520 Daniels thing doesn't seem to be
01:16:52.620 happening anymore the now he's been
01:16:55.540 accused of assault he did that he they
01:16:58.180 they are like it so they don't have to
01:17:00.200 blame people like Cory Booker and
01:17:01.560 Kamala Harris they're blaming Michael
01:17:02.940 Avenatti for the Kavanaugh thing falling
01:17:04.320 apart and he was certainly a part of it
01:17:06.360 but let's be honest about it they were
01:17:08.460 all awful they sure were it wasn't just
01:17:10.300 him they sure were but they're they're
01:17:11.760 finding it awful easy to throw it all
01:17:14.220 on him Mark Cuban is a list on the
01:17:17.100 outsiders now Cuban is interesting in
01:17:18.980 that he's not really a Democrat he's
01:17:20.940 not really a Republican he I've heard him
01:17:23.040 say he's a libertarian he's not really
01:17:24.640 a libertarian at all he is he thinks he
01:17:29.500 can beat Trump he I think he is the type
01:17:31.400 that could stand up to the sort of the
01:17:32.840 pressure that Donald Trump brings he's
01:17:34.760 been in this world I think so too but I
01:17:36.480 don't know that he is strong enough to
01:17:38.700 he might be strong enough to get the
01:17:40.720 nomination if he got through all that
01:17:42.660 maybe but I don't think he stands up to
01:17:45.740 Trump well I think he would I think
01:17:47.700 really he can do the same types of
01:17:49.740 things Trump can do right he could say
01:17:51.340 sort of the outlandish thing he can be
01:17:53.360 insulting he can he's a reality star too
01:17:57.440 right they're both reality stars I mean
01:17:59.200 certainly there's something just about
01:18:00.880 the United States having an election
01:18:02.460 where it's just reality star versus
01:18:04.180 reality star that is pretty much you
01:18:05.900 know what you should have at this
01:18:06.640 that's what we you're right yeah I
01:18:07.660 think that's right that makes a lot of
01:18:09.480 sense does in America but I think that
01:18:11.840 there is a there's an outside
01:18:15.800 possibility for you I feel like I feel
01:18:17.960 like what I've read and what I've heard
01:18:20.180 I feel like he's the kind of guy that
01:18:22.100 he really wants to you know despite him
01:18:25.720 well you know I got the family and I got
01:18:27.280 the TV I think he's just I get the
01:18:28.620 feeling other interviews that he really
01:18:30.480 wants to he feels like he can't I feel
01:18:32.580 like he thinks I should have been
01:18:33.820 Trump I think that's what he thinks I
01:18:35.540 think he looks at this and says wait a
01:18:37.080 minute why did I let this guy go out
01:18:38.760 there and win the presidency if I would
01:18:40.280 have run I would have been able to do it
01:18:41.500 too right I could do this I could I think
01:18:43.560 he thinks that way and I think he would
01:18:46.340 like to go what I think he thinks he
01:18:47.900 could beat Trump one-on-one getting
01:18:49.860 through a Democratic primary for Mark
01:18:51.580 Cuban does not stop plausible so long
01:18:53.440 haul I've said this before but far more
01:18:56.040 impressive than beating Hillary Clinton 0.98
01:18:57.920 for Donald Trump was winning the
01:18:59.740 primary it was much much more
01:19:02.000 impressive than beating I mean honestly
01:19:03.880 I think you could have picked any one
01:19:05.520 of 50 candidates on the Republican
01:19:07.160 side that could have beaten Hillary 0.88
01:19:08.280 Clinton in a one-on-one battle yeah we
01:19:10.200 said it was the primary that was
01:19:11.920 impressive and you know beating I mean
01:19:14.520 he beat a lot of good candidates sure
01:19:16.940 did from the Republican side in that
01:19:18.420 primary I mean they had 17 probably six
01:19:20.680 or seven of them were pretty freaking
01:19:22.680 good candidates about it and he beat
01:19:24.540 them all be the anytime you get to a
01:19:26.500 one-on-one situation anything can
01:19:29.140 happen in those races because a major
01:19:31.360 event you know I mean think of it if
01:19:34.180 Hillary if if let's say the Hillary
01:19:38.660 Clinton was behind by five or six
01:19:40.900 points and the tape of Donald Trump on
01:19:44.300 the bus happened three or four days
01:19:46.480 before the election rather than a month
01:19:48.560 right Hillary maybe they'll make that 1.00
01:19:51.700 up right like anything can happen in
01:19:53.940 those last seconds McCain had no chance
01:19:56.460 of beating Barack Obama with the with
01:19:59.540 the economic collapse happening a month
01:20:01.280 before the election there's no chance
01:20:02.520 of it and anything like that can
01:20:03.680 happen when you get into a one-on-one
01:20:05.220 that's why it's dangerous if a
01:20:06.480 socialist does come out of the
01:20:08.960 Democratic primary if you get a let's
01:20:10.440 say a Bernie Sanders acolyte right that
01:20:12.100 comes out of that if there's an economic
01:20:14.500 collapse a month before that socialist
01:20:16.240 will win and then you're in real
01:20:17.840 trouble he looks yeah you know because
01:20:19.420 they'll pick anybody other than the
01:20:20.720 party in power at that point okay
01:20:22.840 here's another one Howard Schultz oh
01:20:25.160 well he wants to run it does seem like
01:20:26.740 he wants to CEO of Starbucks if you
01:20:29.120 don't if you don't know that story he
01:20:31.320 built that company it was a it was a
01:20:33.860 coffee store that did not sell cups of
01:20:36.040 coffee when he took it over they just
01:20:38.420 sold the beans so you could go home and
01:20:39.660 make it yourself think about that he
01:20:41.460 turned it into obviously one of the
01:20:42.540 biggest companies in the world he is a
01:20:45.560 they describe him as a relatively
01:20:47.720 business-friendly Democrat obviously
01:20:50.520 comes from a CEO he's very wealthy
01:20:52.060 could spend a lot of money you know I
01:20:54.220 don't know is it possible sure he's
01:20:56.920 much more possible than the next guy I
01:20:58.500 think which is Tom Steyer Steyer we
01:21:00.900 talked about a little bit last week or
01:21:02.240 earlier this week he is a another
01:21:04.180 billionaire guy big-time climate
01:21:06.340 activist made his money he's kind of
01:21:08.520 like the he's like a George Soros type
01:21:10.320 of character big-time donor to
01:21:12.060 progressive causes has been putting his
01:21:13.800 face on TV constantly to try to get
01:21:15.800 Trump impeached and I will say Tom Steyer
01:21:19.140 is now become famous because our own
01:21:22.520 Pat Gray has said that he would if he
01:21:25.580 were to get the nomination that he would
01:21:27.140 eat his underwear his underwear that's
01:21:28.820 the latest one now I don't know why he
01:21:31.280 would say that because Tom Steyer in his
01:21:32.960 platform has guaranteed health so if
01:21:37.480 you're sick right now you will be healed
01:21:39.500 if Tom Steyer is elected president he's
01:21:41.860 guaranteeing health that I want Pat to
01:21:44.100 eat his underwear I mean look if you
01:21:47.420 have a sick relative you're thinking
01:21:48.420 myself look I don't I don't like the
01:21:49.660 tax policy but if he can make everyone
01:21:51.920 right seems like a good platform love
01:21:54.240 what Tom Steyer not sure how he would
01:21:55.880 pull that one off exactly but he is I
01:21:58.260 think he wants to run to yeah and I
01:22:00.420 would not be surprised to see an early
01:22:01.680 announcement for him because people
01:22:02.740 don't really know who he is despite his
01:22:04.420 efforts if he beats everybody to the
01:22:05.700 punch he gets coverage he gets his
01:22:07.520 coverage and he'll have money he'll he
01:22:09.480 has billions and billions of dollars
01:22:11.300 to dump into advertising to get you to
01:22:13.580 know who he is and there is a argument
01:22:16.160 to be made anybody who will commit to
01:22:18.120 that has a chance I personally believe
01:22:21.500 in this day and age you can't buy an
01:22:23.320 election like that you can't I mean
01:22:25.380 people are like well Donald Trump yeah
01:22:26.780 Donald Trump spent no money spent no
01:22:28.400 money he won an election with almost he
01:22:30.780 disproved the point he sure did all he
01:22:33.320 was was a person who was covered by the
01:22:35.200 election to make himself money because
01:22:37.180 he did events everything that charged
01:22:38.840 back to the Trump hotels there's
01:22:41.900 definitely an argument about that but I
01:22:43.820 mean he really he didn't he got a lot
01:22:45.380 of free media because people the media
01:22:48.280 is and continues to be completely
01:22:51.140 obsessed with him as a person
01:22:52.420 completely obsessed with him they were
01:22:53.700 obsessed with him in New York on the
01:22:55.440 media there when he was when it was only
01:22:56.800 a local situation and now they are
01:22:58.660 absolutely obsessed to the point that
01:23:02.040 they will overturn long-standing beliefs
01:23:04.320 it's embarrassing how much they cover
01:23:07.800 this guy for the hatred it's true it's
01:23:09.900 embarrassing it's true and you know I
01:23:11.760 I've become obsessed with the idea that
01:23:14.120 because of the way we deal with
01:23:15.900 politics right now so often we allow
01:23:18.500 these debates to control the decisions
01:23:20.680 that we make it's not just us but it's
01:23:22.460 everybody you know the media is a
01:23:24.060 perfect example here the media has been
01:23:26.480 aligned with the unions and aligned with
01:23:31.440 people like Bernie Sanders for decades to
01:23:34.520 get tariffs passed they want to a
01:23:37.900 protectionist trade policy to go away
01:23:40.880 from these right-wing lunatics like
01:23:42.760 Ronald Reagan and you know Barry
01:23:46.120 Goldwater and Milton Friedman and all of
01:23:49.540 these people who have been preaching
01:23:51.040 free trade for 50 years and the media
01:23:54.460 has been on the opposite side of that
01:23:56.160 battle the entire time saying no unions
01:23:59.620 are important now mind you a lot of them
01:24:01.660 are on television as members of unions
01:24:04.000 telling you how important unions are
01:24:06.440 and they're saying unions are important
01:24:08.760 we need tariffs we need protectionism the
01:24:10.820 democratic platform has been about that
01:24:12.700 for decades the second Donald Trump
01:24:15.120 supports tariffs they all turn into
01:24:17.500 Milton Friedman you've never seen a more
01:24:20.960 pro free trade group of people than the
01:24:25.100 mainstream media today who will tell you
01:24:27.140 every argument Reagan made about free
01:24:30.240 trade they'll all tell you how it's so
01:24:32.060 much better if they got there's an
01:24:32.900 economic consensus about from economy
01:24:34.820 they'll go crazy telling you how great
01:24:36.980 free trade is only because Donald Trump
01:24:39.220 opposes it and again you know opposes is
01:24:41.540 a strong but he's certainly a
01:24:42.640 protectionist he's raised you know
01:24:43.940 tariffs by over a hundred percent from
01:24:46.660 previous levels and they're you know if
01:24:49.740 these other proposals are going through
01:24:50.960 it could be five six seven hundred percent
01:24:52.500 before this is over and and but forget
01:24:55.220 all that for a second the media is
01:24:57.420 disallowing themselves and the Democratic
01:24:59.480 Party is allowing themselves and the you 0.92
01:25:01.240 and unions and all these other groups
01:25:03.260 are allowing themselves to have their
01:25:05.200 opinions formed by the fact that Donald
01:25:07.140 Trump has the has has his opinion they're
01:25:09.820 basing their beliefs on just opposing what
01:25:12.760 he believes that is never a good idea and
01:25:16.140 I think Steyer is a great example of that
01:25:18.740 right like the key is just an anti-Trump anti-Trump
01:25:21.700 anti-Trump no matter what Trump is he's the
01:25:23.260 opposite and whether that works in the
01:25:25.100 election I think it might in the primary
01:25:27.340 I don't know that it works overall you
01:25:28.660 any thought shot before we leave here
01:25:30.760 this the last couple on this list you
01:25:32.740 say that you say that you know but the
01:25:34.280 thing is is that all of these people
01:25:35.700 that we've named are just against Trump
01:25:37.540 yes there's very little where you draw
01:25:40.080 the line of who's against the exception
01:25:43.160 of some of the socialist candidates who
01:25:44.540 really have an actual worldview right like
01:25:47.320 Bernie Sanders has not changed his
01:25:48.700 opinion on tariffs he still loves him right
01:25:50.740 like so there are a few of those
01:25:52.320 ideological people who are like that I
01:25:56.320 think the socialists are really the main
01:25:57.700 ones and that's why they're the scariest
01:25:58.760 ones because if you get a one-on-one
01:26:00.440 there's enough people who just don't like
01:26:02.660 Trump generally speaking or if an event
01:26:05.060 happens the economy goes bad they might
01:26:07.140 elect one of these guys and so you kind
01:26:09.480 of hope that just a quote-unquote normal
01:26:11.700 Democrat comes through that process
01:26:13.200 because good luck you don't want it to
01:26:14.760 be a one-on-one anything any shot you
01:26:16.300 think Oprah has any shot of running or the 0.99
01:26:17.820 rock no right anybody else to think we
01:26:20.360 talked about Kasich being on that list
01:26:21.980 he's gonna run he's probably gonna run
01:26:23.960 as an independent he has no chance 1.00
01:26:25.740 no anyone else you can think of that
01:26:27.500 that was left off there I mean we don't
01:26:29.540 I thought Michelle Obama should be on
01:26:31.200 the list yeah and I you know I think
01:26:32.880 she's worth she's certainly more likely
01:26:34.720 than Oprah I think she just came out 1.00
01:26:36.680 with a big retrospective more likely than
01:26:38.500 Oprah although I think that Michelle is 0.99
01:26:40.600 I don't know she might if you if they're
01:26:43.780 doing testing I don't know how good she
01:26:45.980 tests yeah I don't think so either plus
01:26:47.260 I think if Biden's in she's not so

01:30:17.280 Jeffy we do the little meet and greets
01:30:19.420 before and we talk to people and one of
01:30:21.900 the questions that comes up fairly often
01:30:23.680 is why are you so mean to Jeffy and I
01:30:28.160 always am shocked by that because I
01:30:30.320 always feel like our moments together
01:30:33.820 are the best parts of your day oh thank
01:30:36.000 you know the rest of your life is
01:30:37.380 obviously I'm so happy that you feel

01:30:41.280 face the rest of your day is just a
01:30:44.640 it's just a complete cluster yeah but
01:30:46.520 not but not here though not here this is
01:30:48.560 the happy point of your day and to prove
01:30:50.240 this point I have selected some stories
01:30:53.600 just specifically for you really yes I
01:30:56.540 knew you're gonna be on today and I
01:30:59.120 thought there'd be a few Jeffy stories
01:31:00.640 that we should go there there are a few
01:31:01.940 there's always a few that's why we do
01:31:03.340 chewing the fat every day every day you
01:31:05.140 get the podcast these are my submissions
01:31:06.800 for your fat some possibilities and
01:31:09.060 stories I like this one a lot a pilot was
01:31:13.980 on a flight recently and he had a special
01:31:18.100 guest on the flight okay Olivia Munn now
01:31:21.280 Olivia Munn is known to be a fairly 1.00
01:31:23.580 attractive yeah a female actress and I 1.00
01:31:26.940 don't know I think she's some I don't 0.97
01:31:28.120 know what else she does and she's like
01:31:29.080 doing something with gaming or something
01:31:30.300 at the beginning I don't remember but
01:31:31.900 Olivia Munn she's she's pretty hot I guess 1.00
01:31:33.640 she is as how I would summarize that she
01:31:35.620 is also happened to be the pilots free
01:31:39.180 pass in his marriage now I you know some
01:31:43.360 people do this I mean every marriage does
01:31:45.920 it Stu I don't know what you see some
01:31:47.760 people it's all every man every marriage
01:31:49.920 has a has a free pass deal you're shocked
01:31:52.740 to hear that's not actually true really
01:31:54.220 yeah I don't think I don't I'm pretty
01:31:56.740 sure that is not true we say we all
01:31:58.940 understand what a free pass is right the
01:32:02.840 concept being that hey look we are married
01:32:07.580 and you have to be loyal to this marriage
01:32:09.280 but but if you happen to bump into Olivia
01:32:12.340 Munn on a flight I'll let you you you can 0.70
01:32:15.260 do it without repercussions okay now it's
01:32:17.880 always been interesting I don't know
01:32:18.800 there's an actual real-world test of this
01:32:20.860 it has there ever been a a an actual use
01:32:26.400 of one of these free passes and how did
01:32:27.920 that work out because let's just say you
01:32:30.520 have a free pass to hook up with Olivia
01:32:32.260 Munn you hook up with Olivia Munn does
01:32:34.800 your wife actually honor this earlier she
01:32:37.080 has to what do you mean does she has to
01:32:38.780 it's the rule I just don't think it would
01:32:40.900 happen I feel like part of the deal I
01:32:42.360 feel like there might be a little by
01:32:45.580 sellers remorse on that one I can't
01:32:47.460 believe you actually did right and I you
01:32:50.200 feel like it would be somewhat justified I
01:32:51.940 think you did promise to God and and
01:32:54.120 everything else that you wouldn't do such
01:32:55.860 except for the free pass I don't know if if
01:33:00.160 I don't know if God would honor the free
01:33:01.780 pass but we who knows we we stranger
01:33:04.260 things have happened I'm willing to wait
01:33:05.780 and ask him so this Olivia Munn actually 0.99
01:33:10.240 gets on his flight and he texts his wife
01:33:12.220 and he says you're not gonna believe
01:33:14.840 this Olivia Munn's on this flight and of
01:33:17.700 course she's my free pass right and the 1.00
01:33:19.640 wife jokingly says oh my gosh you have to 1.00
01:33:22.480 get a picture of her or you know picture
01:33:24.040 or it didn't happen now that that's first
01:33:26.060 indication to me that if she would not
01:33:27.500 actually honor it was just it was a joke to
01:33:29.400 them as a specialist never gonna happen
01:33:31.580 and that the free pass the free pass is
01:33:34.980 just the selfie with her and you were you
01:33:37.240 got to you got to say hello right so
01:33:39.240 yes not really showing up and taking her
01:33:41.580 up into the front of the plane no I don't
01:33:44.840 I don't think the wife would be like oh 0.98
01:33:46.240 that's silly go talk to her if he she 0.99
01:33:49.120 thought it was a the real situation right
01:33:51.080 so that's just so wrong so this goes
01:33:54.160 viral because the text exchange goes
01:33:57.200 viral and he essentially chickens out and
01:34:00.260 doesn't even oh my gosh now later on
01:34:02.920 Olivia Munn finds out about this and 0.99
01:34:05.780 tweets and says oh you should have come
01:34:08.140 up and talked to me and should have
01:34:09.640 taken a picture with me I would have
01:34:11.800 totally taken a picture with you would
01:34:13.380 you now I maybe maybe she would have
01:34:17.600 taken a picture but that has not what
01:34:19.540 the free pass is no the free pass is not
01:34:21.460 a selfie pass it's not a pass to go get a
01:34:25.660 nice picture with with the idea is you
01:34:28.040 get a selfie and then you start a
01:34:29.440 conversation and then you realize that
01:34:31.120 you know you're my free pass so I mean
01:34:34.920 go as a as a man Jeffy if you have a
01:34:38.660 free pass situation and let's say your
01:34:41.400 free pass is Olivia Munn respectfully of
01:34:44.400 course you gotta at least try it right
01:34:47.300 you have to at least ask to if it's real
01:34:50.140 now there's a joking one maybe if it's
01:34:52.680 joking you're not gonna do it you have
01:34:54.320 to but if it's real you have to at least
01:34:56.540 take the opportunity to ask yes now I
01:34:59.180 think in this world in the me too world
01:35:01.020 you probably go to prison for a hundred
01:35:03.300 years for asking no you get the selfie
01:35:05.900 you say ha ha you know my wife and I have
01:35:08.820 a free pass deal you're mine I you didn't
01:35:13.500 even say it to me and I feel like I want
01:35:14.900 to send you to prison you're mine it's not
01:35:21.500 like you were about to take her hostage
01:35:22.820 are you gonna hurt these women is that
01:35:26.740 what's happening here because I think I I
01:35:29.900 feel like you have to give it a whirl in
01:35:31.640 that you have to look there's no chance
01:35:33.840 that Olivia says oh my gosh okay it would
01:35:37.480 be I mean well that would be an amazing
01:35:39.160 story right I don't you're right I don't
01:35:42.360 think there's much of a chance of her
01:35:43.680 saying yes to this anyone that's your
01:35:45.320 free pass is your free pass only in your
01:35:47.340 mind right I mean it's you're saying hey
01:35:49.860 you were my free pass ha ha ha and you
01:35:52.120 take the selfie with Olivia or whoever
01:35:53.640 that is but that is still has to say oh
01:35:57.180 get that I'm your free pass oh lucky me
01:35:59.780 right that's the thing because I and I
01:36:02.500 would never enter the enter to this sort
01:36:04.340 of situation because like I would be in
01:36:06.940 like my my wife I married up quite a
01:36:08.820 bit and I there'd actually be danger
01:36:11.240 she she works she has her own radio
01:36:13.400 show and she works with celebrities I 0.87
01:36:14.880 actually she might actually be able to
01:36:16.560 get one of these guys I mean and plus
01:36:18.300 the girl the guy thinks a lot easier
01:36:19.960 yes right like so this is not a good
01:36:21.920 deal for guys you're never hooking up
01:36:23.900 with your free pass and she probably 1.00
01:36:26.160 could absolutely if she feels 100% so
01:36:28.520 this is a danger area this is a warning
01:36:30.640 here on black that's a good point yes
01:36:32.620 don't go into the free pass I made the
01:36:34.460 deal so you have a free pass I'm sure I
01:36:38.960 just said it who doesn't what would it
01:36:40.920 be who's your free pass you're on a
01:36:44.220 national radio show maybe they'll hear
01:36:45.360 about it maybe they'll tweet it and
01:36:46.740 let's say hey I would be happy to I
01:36:48.820 can't remember their name okay I thought
01:36:51.000 so you wouldn't do anything you would
01:36:54.100 not do anything oh my god as we know so
01:36:56.100 I would say this guy really is a failure
01:36:57.440 you got it at least you certainly need
01:36:59.980 to get the picture but you need to at
01:37:01.220 least politely inquire just want to
01:37:03.700 make just inform you of my personal
01:37:05.300 arrangement I know this doesn't affect
01:37:06.240 you but just to let you know that
01:37:09.020 you're currently in a you've currently
01:37:11.800 could have a slice of this and I just
01:37:14.240 want to make you aware of that now it's
01:37:16.660 not gonna work but I feel like you have
01:37:18.120 to have the story at that point okay
01:37:19.980 another one another specifically curated
01:37:22.960 story for Jeffy because I'm so nice to
01:37:25.800 you of course there was a terrorist threat
01:37:28.700 that happened at a chicken place all
01:37:31.640 right now you've made me angry we'll
01:37:33.240 be why is the terrorist is starting to
01:37:35.740 affect chicken places yeah this country
01:37:37.900 has gone down well this one's a little
01:37:40.140 bit different Arthur Posey's a 30 year
01:37:42.540 old he was booked on charges in
01:37:44.080 connection to a bomb threat after his
01:37:46.920 story he was arrested for this yes he it
01:37:50.560 was in New Orleans it was at a Willie's
01:37:52.880 chicken shack people heard him talking
01:37:56.120 about blowing up the restaurant or at
01:37:58.400 least part of it at the Canal Street
01:38:01.220 restaurant and I had an interesting
01:38:05.920 I mean I understand no if he's
01:38:08.380 threatening to blow up the place like 0.93
01:38:09.880 what if they didn't give you enough
01:38:10.740 chicken yeah okay no that's not what
01:38:12.960 this is about okay he has a specific
01:38:15.640 excuse according to the warrant the
01:38:18.800 red restaurants manager said a man
01:38:20.560 later identified as Posey went into a
01:38:23.120 restaurant and approached the food
01:38:24.180 preparation area then asked her what 0.92
01:38:25.740 time the restaurant closed she told 0.96
01:38:27.460 the man she did not know when the
01:38:28.440 restaurant closed the manager told
01:38:29.620 police the manager stated the man who
01:38:31.440 wore a green hat blue jacket and
01:38:33.040 carried a white bag said y'all about
01:38:34.880 to close right now because I'm gonna
01:38:36.460 get a bomb and blow this place up
01:38:38.780 you're laughing but that's a little
01:38:42.220 scary that's a little scary it's a
01:38:43.620 serious threat absolutely scary the
01:38:45.540 manager told police she took the
01:38:46.760 threat very seriously as I think most
01:38:48.280 people would yes absolutely I'm sorry I
01:38:49.880 didn't mean to smile notified the
01:38:51.320 general manager who instructed her to
01:38:53.920 call police and they did and they got
01:38:55.200 this guy arrested now his excuse I
01:38:58.540 think was it was very interesting and
01:39:01.380 this is why I brought the story up
01:39:02.720 because in reference to you Posey
01:39:04.980 claimed to the officer when he was
01:39:06.820 confronted about this that he told a
01:39:09.940 male employee he was going to blow the 1.00
01:39:12.060 bathroom up in reference to a bowel
01:39:14.260 movement
01:39:14.780 okay a how does a girl not know what
01:39:22.060 time the restaurant she's working
01:39:23.280 there how does the girl does not know 1.00
01:39:25.040 what time the restaurant closes well I
01:39:26.920 don't know the answer to that I know
01:39:28.040 but she's still employed there by
01:39:29.440 calling the bosses saying somebody's
01:39:31.120 claiming to trying to blow up the
01:39:32.600 place call the police I don't know why
01:39:34.220 you're focusing on police actually
01:39:36.620 arrest this guy although I've been
01:39:38.020 pulled over by New Orleans police
01:39:39.320 police before in my life shocking and
01:39:41.040 uh they're they're fine officers okay
01:39:45.660 fine officers good to know I can
01:39:47.460 understand how they would arrest
01:39:48.760 someone making the about to blow this
01:39:51.480 place up blow the bathroom up I mean
01:39:54.180 who is that not to mention what a
01:39:56.600 repulsive thing to say inside of a
01:39:58.720 restaurant to somebody like I mean it's
01:40:01.540 always a just a gross reference but to
01:40:05.320 say it you know you know yeah so they
01:40:12.080 by the way they didn't believe him
01:40:13.540 it's the way this enters they they
01:40:15.000 think he actually did make a terrorist
01:40:16.440 threat and he's his his cover story is
01:40:18.800 the bathroom thing did he have did he
01:40:20.200 have explosive devices and stuff on him
01:40:21.980 no it does not appear that he actually
01:40:24.180 was going to bomb the thing but you can
01:40:25.720 you make a bomb threat and get him
01:40:26.840 trouble for it without actually bombing
01:40:30.200 somebody there are bomb threats you're
01:40:32.480 not supposed to make bomb threats
01:40:33.540 right so that is I guess what they're
01:40:36.360 saying he did and I that's kind of bad
01:40:39.080 I don't know how they could check to
01:40:40.420 see you know I mean there's I don't
01:40:43.160 want to know I have a pretty good idea
01:40:44.440 okay pretty good idea how you would
01:40:47.240 check we have another development in
01:40:50.060 the social credit system score in China
01:40:52.820 that's this story we've been talking

01:40:56.180 privacy guy you know I I want to be I
01:40:58.700 like to pretend I am yes because look we
01:41:01.320 all have computers that have cameras on

01:42:18.060 that's just on all the time I think it's
01:42:20.200 Charlie Warzel from a Buzzfeed who
01:42:21.700 called it an in-home panopticon which is
01:42:24.320 like if you know that reference like
01:42:25.700 it's one of the early designs of
01:42:27.160 prisons and like you don't want to put
01:42:29.120 that in your home but be like oh sure
01:42:30.620 I'll put it doesn't matter that'd be
01:42:31.740 cool here's here's what China is doing 1.00
01:42:33.520 with this sort of stuff they have a
01:42:34.660 social credit system we've talked about
01:42:36.580 this many times just like what's on
01:42:37.880 black mirror in that one episode where
01:42:39.500 you know you have a bad interaction
01:42:40.820 with the government or another person
01:42:42.160 you lower your social credit score
01:42:43.720 they start taking things away we're
01:42:45.260 finally getting the first results of
01:42:46.780 what's been implemented so far
01:42:48.080 remember the whole thing isn't until
01:42:49.380 2020 where they actually implemented
01:42:51.100 according to the state-run news outlet
01:42:54.100 global times again these are their
01:42:55.700 numbers as of May of this year the
01:42:58.220 government had blocked 11.14 million
01:43:02.160 people from flights 11.14 million
01:43:07.560 people from flights and 4.25 million
01:43:11.700 people from taking high-speed train
01:43:14.300 trips wow holy crap now that sounds
01:43:17.700 like a lot though but they've got like
01:43:18.860 a hundred billion people in China so
01:43:20.840 it's only a small percentage they do
01:43:22.320 have a lot of people that's true
01:43:23.360 also we'll give you a here they have
01:43:27.220 done a band 3 million people from
