The Glenn Beck Program - Happy Black Friday with Stu!

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

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.

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

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

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,

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.

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

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

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

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

00:33:14.420 Spencer,

00:33:14.800 welcome to

00:33:15.140 the Glenn

00:33:15.320 Beck

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

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

00:42:55.680 resigned during the

00:42:56.380 Monica Lewinsky scandal.

00:42:58.220 She led the campaign

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

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?

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

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

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.

00:46:01.580 I think, too,

00:46:02.200 the female advantage

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

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.

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

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

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

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

00:49:11.620 to either one of those shows

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

00:54:14.640 the show

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

00:54:27.920 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

00:54:44.040 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

00:55:41.140 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:57:44.120 and she's a Bernie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:26:36.680 with a big retrospective more likely than

01:26:38.500 Oprah although I think that Michelle is

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

01:26:49.660 that's another thing so all right

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

01:30:39.200 that way it's true I can see it in your

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

01:31:23.580 attractive yeah a female actress and I

01:31:26.940 don't know I think she's some I don't

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

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

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

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

01:33:19.640 wife jokingly says oh my gosh you have to

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

01:33:46.240 that's silly go talk to her if he she

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

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

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

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

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

01:38:25.740 time the restaurant closed she told

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

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

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
