The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:08.920
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. 888-727-BECK.
00:00:14.340
Apparently, there's a jumbled process for replacing a governor who just stepped down in Puerto Rico.
00:00:21.320
Nobody understands this system. There's just no way to tell what happens from here on.
00:00:24.500
No, no. I think they just pick randomly straws, I guess, from the citizens.
00:00:30.360
Because remember, they had all these protests in Puerto Rico?
00:00:33.320
And the governor got pressured. He decided he's going to step down.
00:00:38.240
And the day he's going to step down is today, I think, at 5 p.m.
00:00:48.500
You'd think by now you'd have an answer to that.
00:00:51.600
This would be a time in which you'd think you'd have identified who is going to be the next governor.
00:01:03.420
It's weird because it's just been one of these situations that they do have a system to replace the governor if he were to step down.
00:01:13.340
Because of the way it's happened, it's been convoluted.
00:01:16.880
To put it in American president terms so we can kind of just all understand, because I have no idea who any of the people are in the actual intrigue here.
00:01:25.120
But let's just say Donald Trump got into a scandal.
00:01:30.680
He got all these protests and decided he was going to step down.
00:01:38.060
Unfortunately, Mike Pence was also wrapped up in the scandal and has already stepped down.
00:01:48.760
So in theory, she would be in line to be president.
00:01:54.400
So at the last minute, he's named a replacement essentially for his vice president.
00:01:59.700
And he, whoever the vice president equivalent would be, would step in to the presidency.
00:02:07.040
The issue is in their system, you have to confirm what is essentially the vice president.
00:02:10.980
So there's going to be, I guess, a vote today to figure out whether they confirm this person.
00:02:21.580
Imagine being in a place where you're like, all right, is it going to...
00:02:25.260
At the end of the day, it's either going to be, let's say he named Tom Cotton to be his replacement VP.
00:02:32.260
It's like some hardcore Trump supporter or Nancy Pelosi.
00:02:41.540
Also, they just elected a new prime minister in Britain.
00:02:58.180
You know, Pat, that there is a way to tell with the metric system.
00:03:02.360
Like, is 50 kilometers five inches or is it eight million miles?
00:03:16.340
And that's why we have the great system we do here.
00:03:19.320
But Boris Johnson has now suffered his first big defeat as prime minister after losing the
00:03:34.980
So now it cut his working House of Commons majority to just one.
00:03:39.040
So if you lose that majority, do you lose the office as well?
00:03:48.760
He just had one, which was won by Boris Johnson.
00:03:52.540
And if he loses his majority, are they going to have another one?
00:03:56.260
I think they would go to whatever party takes control, right?
00:04:09.220
There's this thing that goes on around the world, which is like...
00:04:12.740
The United States of America starts this experiment in self-rule.
00:04:22.780
I mean, we further it, but invent essentially a real system where the free market and capitalism
00:04:28.360
and constitutional republic with elements of democracy involved.
00:04:37.120
And everyone sits back and was like, whoa, this is fantastic.
00:04:42.340
We should take what they're doing and really screw it up.
00:04:45.760
And they've done it over and over and over again.
00:04:48.460
There's so many places that replicate Britain's system.
00:05:08.180
People are like, yeah, you know, we could just replicate essentially their constitution.
00:05:24.340
I don't know why you're trying to complicate the KFC spice thing.
00:05:39.160
Well, there's 24 of something that is protected on knowledge.
00:05:42.220
And that was what that reference was supposed to be.
00:05:48.640
Here's how to make a country that's going to be pretty successful.
00:05:52.840
I don't think there's been anyone who has just directly replicated what we have here.
00:06:29.000
At least, generally speaking, when people go into office, they stay in office until either
00:06:35.520
Every once in a very long while, you got a, you know, Rod Bogdoyevich or whatever who gets
00:06:43.620
As much as a lot of the Democrats want to throw Trump out of office, guess what?
00:06:55.360
What if we roll dice to see who the next president is?
00:06:58.100
What if everything depends on Brecken and Radnashire?

Pat and Stu, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.
00:08:23.580
Now, apparently, we have found a glitch in our system, haven't we?
00:08:30.080
Just this week, a real violation, and it's got to be corrected.
00:08:36.240
There are constitutional standards we must adhere to, and you cannot violate those.
00:08:43.320
There are certain things that rise to a level that goes beyond politics.
00:08:49.340
It goes to a level of just like almost religious violation, heresy.
00:08:58.240
I'm talking about the fact that Democrats are criticizing Barack Obama's presidency.
00:09:07.600
We may have a system that makes a lot of sense, but you do not step in and criticize anything
00:09:16.520
Stay away from Barack, Democrats now seething over the criticism of Obama.
00:09:22.000
Party officials are frustrated that the former president's record was collateral damage in
00:09:36.620
Stay away from Barack Obama, a well-known Democratic lobbyist who worked on Kerry's campaign.
00:09:42.160
I don't know why you would attack Barack Obama or his record or any part of him.
00:10:08.760
If you have eight, you're an octopus or a spider.
00:10:15.680
And if you say something bad, if this Democratic debate devolves to where they start criticizing
00:10:36.780
Donald Trump Jr., President's eldest son, of course, tweeted Thursday morning how nice
00:10:41.800
it was to, quote, see Democrats finally go after Obama's failed policies.
00:10:47.380
I mean, they told us that Obamacare was the greatest thing in the world was going to solve
00:10:54.220
Bernie Sanders, in the first debate, said there is no one here who can defend the dysfunctionality
00:11:04.560
We weren't like, ah, you know what we should do is massively expand government to control
00:11:16.820
Thursday night, the president echoed this theme.
00:11:21.260
The Democrats spent more time attacking Barack Obama than they did attacking me.
00:11:25.040
This morning, that's all the fake news was talking about.
00:11:28.840
It is interesting to see because the other candidates feel a level of desperation.
00:11:34.080
They saw in the first debate Kamala Harris pretty successfully go after Joe Biden.
00:11:40.860
He was leading by, he was at about 35, 36 percent before that.
00:11:45.620
He fell down to about 28 and then bounced back up to 32, 33.
00:11:49.980
So he regained about two thirds of what he lost.
00:11:52.940
And Harris, you know, had a nice jump after the debates, but then lost about a third of
00:12:00.640
And so I think what the other candidates said to themselves going into this is, look, we
00:12:09.220
So if it's criticizing Barack Obama because he deported too many people, because you know
00:12:15.160
Or if it's about how Obamacare didn't cover enough people, despite the fact they all praised
00:12:21.860
I mean, yesterday, Pat, I'm listening to Joe Biden do a press conference.
00:12:24.700
I, I, I, the world, it's like at some point you almost wonder if it's worth talking about
00:12:32.540
these things, because what did we say the entire time Barack Obama was trying to pass
00:12:37.500
We were saying over and over again, this is a hardcore left wing plan.
00:12:41.120
This is the biggest progressive X, uh, you know, uh, expansion of government healthcare
00:13:01.040
This basically came from the Heritage Foundation.
00:13:13.460
So now that Obamacare is a huge failure, um, and they're going after Obamacare, Joe Biden
00:13:21.340
in a press conference yesterday says there was, there was absolutely nothing conservative
00:13:29.360
This is one of the most progressive plans we've ever seen.
00:13:32.380
I was one of the most liberal senators in all the Senate the entire time I was there.
00:13:37.440
But Obamacare was a massively left wing push for healthcare reform.
00:13:52.380
Now that it's cool and it helps them to say that it's liberal, it's liberal.
00:13:56.300
Before, when it was just common sense and moderate.
00:13:59.160
No, they blamed it on Mitt Romney half the time.
00:14:03.140
Oh, look at, this is just what Massachusetts did and it's working for them.
00:14:10.480
There was nothing moderate about what we did with Obamacare.
00:14:20.900
Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show, Tecovus.
00:14:31.100
I know how ridiculous a great pair of boots can cost.
00:14:37.540
They sell their boots directly to the customer.
00:14:40.280
So their boots are half the price of anything that's even similar in quality.
00:14:45.240
They're all handmade with a 200-step process with only the best materials.
00:14:51.360
Their entire line honors the timeless traditional boot styles.
00:14:55.560
No silly stitching or sequins or loud colors or anything else.
00:14:58.520
These are just great boots like my grandfather would have worn.
00:15:02.100
With Tecovus, there's no need to break them in.
00:15:04.680
They arrive already ready to be worn immediately, comfortably.
00:15:08.880
They're easy to order with tremendous customer service.
00:15:11.940
Tecovus always has free shipping and free returns.

You know, to me, a day without MSNBC is like a day without orange juice or whatever.
00:16:02.160
A day without MSNBC is like a day without cloud cover.
00:16:08.920
So they were a little upset that Democrats went after Barack Obama this week.
00:16:16.500
I mean, there was Vice President Biden tied down after rope after rope for his long political
00:16:24.100
He had to defend every element of it going back, as Michael Bennett said, back 50 years
00:16:33.140
He was 100% better or maybe 200% better than he was in the first debate.
00:16:37.900
He seemed to be aware he was in a debate, which was a start for him.
00:16:43.740
In fact, a lot of times when he got to the end of his time, it was like he ran out of his
00:16:48.960
And the weirdest thing to me, which I'm having a hard time with, is, is it a smart strategy
00:16:56.400
I mean, this is a Democratic president elected twice, I think he's the only Democrat we've
00:17:02.460
had, you know, with the margins he's had since FDR that did that, remains wildly popular
00:17:09.520
It was weird for me to watch about 40, almost 40 minutes of primarily attacks on the Obama
00:17:19.280
It's almost as if the debate forgot who's president, because the attacks on Donald Trump, I don't
00:17:26.400
And so it was odd for me for these candidates to debate changes in health care and their
00:17:31.200
different policies on immigration, as if Trump doesn't exist.
00:17:33.980
Yes, they were attacking the Obama administration.
00:17:38.560
I think if you're a Democratic candidate for president and you spend, you're not making,
00:17:49.520
And I guess there's, I don't know what you do, right?
00:17:51.600
If you're one of these opponents, what do you say you're going to do that's going to
00:17:54.740
be better than Biden if you say the Obama administration was great?
00:17:59.960
But I mean, Barack Obama's approval rating, he's, among Democrats, there's a bunch of
00:18:05.180
polls here, 83 to 10 approval rating, 88 to 10, 83, 13, 90 to 7.
00:18:14.720
He's not, you know, overall, he's, you know, he does well, overall, but not nearly that
00:18:21.600
I mean, you know, that is a, these are really good numbers.
00:18:24.140
He's probably the most popular Democrat in America, with the maybe exception of Michelle
00:18:32.400
I mean, that couple is probably the, they're probably the two most popular people in the
00:18:37.740
Which was mentioned by fat lump Michael Moore, again.
00:18:40.820
He said it in a, in another interview, another interview, it's his, it's his, uh, new, his
00:18:56.360
Um, he said in a, that there's only one candidate up to the challenge to beat President Trump.
00:19:01.200
In fact, he thinks he'd crush, she'd crush President Trump.
00:19:08.240
Everybody watching this right now knows she's beloved and she would go in there and she
00:19:15.840
Here an audio of Michael Moore talking about Michelle Obama running for president.
00:19:21.920
And frankly, I think there's a person that could do this.
00:19:25.620
If the election were held today, there is one person that would crush Trump and she hasn't
00:19:31.220
announced yet and her last name rhymes with Obama.
00:19:40.840
Everybody watching this right now knows she is a beloved American and she would go in
00:19:49.960
He wouldn't be able to nickname her and, and, and she has beloved all just go to C-SPAN
00:19:58.540
And she's playing 15,000 seat arenas in the Midwest.
00:20:03.980
She takes the stage and she's so powerful and so good.
00:20:07.620
You just look at that and you think, of course she could win, but everyone's now saying, well,
00:20:16.380
I think if she, if she were asked, look, if you watch the book tour, she's asked every
00:20:29.400
Well, except for you were asked to serve or I work, whatever our skillset is, wouldn't
00:20:34.860
That's an, I can't take any more Michael Moore today.
00:20:37.520
And I mean, I think some of what he says is true though.
00:20:43.860
I will say though, it's rare when Michael Moore agrees wholeheartedly with Bill O'Reilly.
00:20:49.260
This is exactly what Bill said about the election.
00:20:51.460
He said if they run a Michelle Obama, she's, she would win by a lot.
00:20:58.860
I mean, you have to, when you've never seen someone run for president, there's a big unknown
00:21:03.660
factor of how they actually react in that sort of pressure situation.
00:21:07.120
And she's obviously been in this world for a while, but she's never been the focus of it.
00:21:12.140
And when she was the focus of it in the first campaign, she did not do well.
00:21:15.920
If you remember, they pulled her off the campaign because she kept saying things like, I'm not
00:21:27.340
I mean, you know, like you said, she was proud for the first time when her husband was
00:21:39.660
Did you know, on average, it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security alarm.
00:21:45.360
That's almost an hour, but it's not because the police are lazy or anything like that.
00:21:50.060
It's because when a home security system is triggered, most of the time, it's a false
00:21:54.620
alarm and the call goes to the bottom of the 911 list.
00:22:01.920
SimpliSafe can visually confirm that a break-in is happening and they let the police know.
00:22:11.080
There's no contract, hidden fees, or fine print.

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.
00:22:49.600
By the way, you can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, immediately preceding this on the Blaze Radio and TV network.
00:22:54.980
You know, the problem is I missed it, so I'm not going to be able to hear it today.
00:23:06.700
I'd love for you to go back and we went through all the, with some Ilhan Omar stuff this week.
00:23:10.460
Went through all the campaign stuff and the debates.
00:23:13.860
So check it out if you go to the 5 p.m. show on Blaze TV.
00:23:22.580
Yeah, well, we were reminded that we did an Al-Zar Kawi cake back when he died in like 2006.
00:23:29.020
And then I realized when Osama bin Laden died, I drank beer on the air.
00:23:36.180
So you had a little celebration for death day for Hamza bin Laden.
00:23:44.940
Yes, because we wanted to honor, truly honor him.
00:23:49.520
Oh, I mean, I will say it was raw bacon kind of strewn on the outside of it.
00:24:07.500
If you go to blazetv.com, use the promo code GLEN20.
00:24:10.820
You can get not only the whole week of shows with me, but also Glenn's.
00:24:22.260
You know, they said, like, they think he died sometime in the last two years.
00:24:29.020
Again, narrow it down a little bit more than that.
00:24:30.580
Did he die of heat-seeking missile, or did he die of some natural cause?
00:24:44.240
I normally hate when that happens, but not in this case.
00:24:49.860
So you can go to blazetv.com, use the promo code GLEN20 and save 20 bucks.
00:24:54.080
They also have the entire Ilhan Omar special from Glenn that's kind of been all over the
00:24:58.580
So if you want to go see that, it's a good place to go.
00:25:09.880
Because they can say kind of anything and get away with it, because their only approach
00:25:14.060
to life is to tell you how they've been victimized.
00:25:17.520
So every story that goes on with the squad always comes back to how they're a terrible
00:25:23.140
You know, like there was a sign of this from the staffers of Kamala Harris this week when
00:25:29.960
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden walked to the center stage.
00:25:32.420
Obviously, Harris kind of hammered Biden in the first debate.
00:25:40.420
What was the reaction from the Kamala Harris staffers?
00:25:46.220
How dare you refer to her an accomplished woman breaking a glass ceiling as a kid?
00:25:58.540
She won the battle and is still the victim, right?
00:26:03.580
And this is the attitude of the squad all the time.
00:26:13.360
They can't despite the fact that we're talking about a person who is a bartender a year and
00:26:19.080
a half ago and is running the Democratic Party.
00:26:21.460
That person is telling you that they are oppressed.
00:26:25.660
The same thing with Kirsten Gillibrand on stage.
00:26:30.080
I mean, she's not part of the squad, however, but she says, oh, gosh, you know what?
00:26:35.100
I'm the right person to be nominated as the Democratic candidate because I can go to suburban
00:26:41.700
women and explain to them what white privilege is.
00:26:45.660
Have you ever heard of a more demeaning statement?
00:26:49.320
And then she said, you know, I know I'm a beneficiary of white privilege, which not in the polls,
00:26:58.740
In fact, so far, she's not part of the next debate.
00:27:15.480
So 130,000 individual donors, plus you have to hit 2%, and I believe it's four polls.
00:27:21.240
Now, there's going to be a lot of polls before here and there, but there's only certain ones
00:27:25.420
So even if she hit 2% before this previous debate, that wouldn't count.
00:27:29.020
It's going to be something that leading up to this next one.
00:27:34.600
And the squad, you know, look, they're very well known, but very unpopular.
00:27:45.060
And so AOC was on a radio show talking about marginalized communities.
00:27:53.760
And I think she, look, marginalized communities, again, marginalized, whoever she's talking
00:28:00.920
And there's only one thing that they can do in this victimized situation.
00:28:03.960
That by marginalizing Palestinians, you create safety.
00:28:09.020
I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people.
00:28:14.660
Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized, then you create
00:28:21.820
a popular, like once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but
00:28:34.380
When they didn't have access to clean water, they just went nuts.
00:28:37.660
They just went ape crap and just started burning down that city.
00:28:50.160
Interestingly enough, I've heard over and over again for years that Flint, Michigan was the
00:28:54.300
result of this, I think, a Republican conspiracy to either kill African Americans or, at the
00:29:01.600
very least, just because they wanted evil profits or something.
00:29:05.840
What we find out, by the way, on Flint, Michigan, is their system with Detroit was actually working
00:29:12.960
They had a long-term lease with water from Detroit.
00:29:23.160
Because you see, they had to build a brand new pipeline for the water.
00:29:26.660
And they were able to use stimulus to come in and say, oh, well, we can, not only are
00:29:30.920
we going to get new water supply, but we'll also create a bunch of jobs for people to work
00:29:35.460
So when they implemented that, it was something they didn't need.
00:29:39.580
They implemented it because of the government, because of a Keynesian economic argument of
00:29:49.180
So this is not a, and Republicans and Democrats agreed, by the way, to do this, because Republicans
00:29:59.140
But Republicans came on and said, yeah, we need new shovel-ready jobs.
00:30:01.620
And Democrats came on and said, yeah, we need new shovel-ready jobs.
00:30:07.860
Well, yeah, well, like the president at the time said, shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready
00:30:25.480
So speaking of AOC and how people have no choice but to riot if they don't have access
00:30:38.460
to clean water, that's one of her incredible thoughts of the last year.
00:30:42.500
Prospect Magazine has deemed her one of the world's top 50 thinkers of the year.
00:30:58.020
She doesn't even know the requirements of her own job.
00:31:11.500
Like Israel is like, I don't know, like whatever.
00:31:21.020
I mean, look, you can definitely make the argument.
00:31:29.460
The only thing of substance that she's actually produced was the FAQ for her Green New Deal,
00:31:38.160
She has now thrown to the sidelines and acted as if she somehow mistakenly wrote it.
00:31:58.620
Well, she chisels her thoughts into stone so she can't take it back.
00:32:06.740
You thought she was maybe using a word processor or something.
00:32:18.460
It was not only ridiculous ideas like retrofit every building in America.
00:32:25.460
To put high-speed rail to every place that airplanes fly.
00:32:35.280
We're talking about free jobs for everyone who's willing to work, I think it was.
00:32:49.800
Every once in a while, you get this thing where the Blaze uncovers this hidden document.
00:33:01.280
This is the one that also said, we can't quite solve cow farts yet.
00:33:05.420
They sent this to NPR to tell them how to cover it.
00:33:11.940
And then tried to deny later on that this was just a draft.
00:33:22.120
And they were just embarrassed at the ridicule they received.
00:33:26.740
That was one of the things, too, by the way, Andrew Yang said in the debate,
00:33:31.420
Yang pointed out something that we've noted many times here,
00:33:35.340
which is the U.S. is only 15% of global emissions.
00:33:45.680
The entire transportation sector of the United States is about 20% of our total emissions.
00:33:51.340
All cars, trucks, the entire transportation sector.
00:33:54.680
If you turned it off, if you had a switch, and you were able to just flip it off like a light switch,
00:34:00.820
the entire transportation goes carbon-free tomorrow, you would save 3% of global emissions.
00:34:08.600
China is growing at between 1.5% and 2% per year.
00:34:12.640
So you would have, you would wipe out the gains, you know, whatever you were able to gain from AOC's,
00:34:19.900
you know, turning off the transportation sector idea, it would be wiped out by China in two years.
00:34:26.160
And we're talking about something that's impossible, just turning off the transportation sector.
00:34:32.820
They write, the voluminous coverage of 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, who was elected to Congress last
00:34:37.680
November, is focused on her youth and personality, certainly her campaigning skills, mastery of
00:34:41.860
social media, and up-from-the-Bronks story are striking.
00:34:46.680
But what's most interesting about her meteoric political career is that her success is based
00:34:53.800
It was her manifesto, Healthcare for All, Tuition-Free University, and a federal jobs program
00:35:01.680
Bernie Sanders proposed all of those things before she was even born, I think.
00:35:06.620
And ran for president and finished second last time.
00:35:09.380
But they do admit she's the force behind the Green New Deal, which is embarrassing, and
00:35:14.580
has put taxes and how much the rich pay back on the American political agenda.
00:35:21.560
Because if people actually knew how much they pay, they'd be flabbergasted.
00:35:25.140
They'd be stunned that they pay 45% or 50% or sometimes 55%, depending on what state
00:35:36.620
They went back and they did a poll several years ago as to not just should we raise taxes
00:35:41.160
on the rich, but what's the amount that's okay to charge them?
00:35:45.900
And people were like, well, should it be more than 5%?
00:35:51.980
And most people, the majority of people said it shouldn't be more than 25%.
00:35:58.740
Most people believe, because of the way that people talk about this, that they pay zero.
00:36:03.100
Because they'll say like, well, Amazon paid zero in taxes.
00:36:05.780
And so people are just like, oh, well, you know.
00:36:12.200
And now you get people like Bernie talking maybe 70%.
00:36:21.020
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:36:27.340
Here's yet another indication about how indoctrinated American students are in colleges all over the country.
00:36:34.240
The College Pulse surveyed 27,000 college students.
00:36:38.180
And 30% of them said that China is the most powerful nation on earth, not the United States of America.
00:36:46.000
I mean, there's just the, you know, it's socialism is better than capitalism.
00:36:50.800
China is more powerful and better than the United States.
00:36:53.720
It's just the continual indoctrination, it seems, of higher education.
00:36:59.560
This is a hard battle that it seems like we're losing right now.
00:37:15.460
What percentage of, can you give me a roundabout percentage of how many?
00:37:19.660
I'm going to say 38% of them graduated from college.
00:37:38.740
Because I'll tell you, it's hard to find a conservative college.
00:37:41.920
You can go to a college where you think it's conservative.
00:37:45.100
And then they're going to get hit by some liberal professor there.
00:37:48.220
I feel like if you go to the hardest right-wing school you can find, you're going to get neutral.
00:37:55.540
I'd much rather invest in their early education than invest in college at this point.
00:38:02.080
Because a lot of the stuff, too, you're learning in college is obsolete so fast.
00:38:06.480
I'd rather invest in a better primary education.
00:38:12.040
They're going to have to figure out the rest of their life.
00:38:20.960
Spending $100,000 to send them to be indoctrinated into socialism?
00:38:38.960
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:46.320
Women in Saudi Arabia will no longer need the permission of a male guardian to travel.
00:38:57.940
They can leave their house and drive around, say, Riyadh, without a man?
00:39:10.260
A few other changes that they're making right now.
00:39:12.840
I mean, next they'll be telling us they can vote.
00:39:20.940
They're also thinking about allowing them to apply for passports.
00:39:26.520
Register a marriage, divorce, or childbirth, and be issued official family documents.
00:39:41.980
Actually, official documents issued by the kingdom.
00:39:49.340
And look, first of all, it actually is really positive.
00:39:57.900
The guy who's capturing his relatives and holding them hostage inside the Four Seasons is a guy who's pushing for a lot of these reforms.
00:40:08.580
What seems completely ridiculous to us, that they would still have these restrictions on women.
00:40:18.960
So, you know, it's easy to mock, and I will mock it.
00:40:22.040
But it's also positive, I guess, in some roundabout sort of way, because there's still so much negative there.
00:40:29.360
But I find this interesting, and I was actually watching Handmaid's Tale last night.
00:40:43.620
Every Wednesday, I think, the episodes come out, and she's like, I don't, you know, she just disappears for an hour because she has to watch it on the night it comes out.
00:40:53.480
I mean, you could tell they spent a lot of money on it.
00:40:59.760
I would love to see the show made in which they kind of, like, a prequel series would be really fascinating.
00:41:06.780
Basically, the concept is, like, at some point, and we're going to butcher this if you're a fan, I'm sorry.
00:41:11.700
But at some point, there was a civil war of sorts in that, and somehow, like, a group of religious fanatics basically took the country over.
00:41:21.860
Now, America, I think, still exists, but it's, like, only in Alaska.
00:41:25.140
America, and the place, most of what you would think of as America is a place called Gilead.
00:41:32.280
So it's a, it's a, and it's, like, a super religious fundamentalist place where, like, the guys have all the rights.
00:41:49.880
I mean, it's basically Mike Pence's fever dream.
00:41:56.480
Well, he won't have dinner with a woman other than his wife.
00:42:03.120
And there's something to do with, like, an infertility problem in the country.
00:42:10.360
I don't know if it's clear in the actual series.
00:42:11.780
But basically, there's this sort of, uh, any fertile woman is going to have a lot of issues.
00:42:18.440
Uh, because she's basically going to, uh, be raped over and over and over and over again by basically every, every commander or whatever that wants to.
00:42:26.800
It's, I will say it's really hard for me to watch it at all.
00:42:33.120
It's basically, like, think of every awful thing that could possibly be done to a woman.
00:42:44.120
And, you know, you can understand why it's popular.
00:42:46.580
But the real reason why it's so popular in such a media, darling, is exactly what we were just talking about.
00:42:51.520
It's, like, it's a left-wing, uh, fantasy of what they think Donald Trump would do if he had complete control.
00:42:59.840
It's, like, basically a statement against, women have no rights right now.
00:43:04.360
You know, Me Too and, and all of these other things combined to, we're essentially Gilead.
00:43:09.560
We're essentially this, this oppressed society.
00:43:24.020
There's no one more fundamentally religious than Donald Trump.
00:43:30.700
I, look, he's been good on a lot of those issues, but I would not say it's to his core.
00:43:34.620
Uh, but anyway, so he has a, uh, there's an episode last night where this commander guy,
00:43:42.780
I don't know the whole story, but, and I'm, minor, minor spoiler alert if you're watching
00:43:46.380
the series, but they're driving down this road.
00:43:54.200
So they're driving down this road, and at one point, there's this big moment where,
00:43:58.560
like, you know, the music builds, and this big moment where the commander says to his
00:44:09.520
And they pull over, and they switch seats, and they put the top down, and they're just
00:44:13.220
driving down this road, and it's kind of like the old days.
00:44:15.000
She's remembering her freedoms of the old days and stuff.
00:44:17.380
And it's like, the left looks at this and says, this is what Donald Trump wants.
00:44:22.620
And they don't look at it and say, this is what half the world is.
00:44:27.140
Right now, half the world is coming up with, you know what?
00:44:35.920
Because a big part of the handmaid's sales, they're all dressed up in these fundamentalist
00:44:42.780
It's like, you guys realize that the people you're constantly defending, you're saying that
00:44:47.820
we should not say their culture is worse than ours.
00:44:54.420
And we were just talking about the reforms in Saudi Arabia.
00:44:57.320
Yet still, the rules are in place where they require male consent for a woman to leave
00:45:04.480
prison, male consent for a woman to exit domestic abuse shelters.
00:45:10.840
So your husband has to come and let you out of a domestic abuse shelter?
00:45:17.660
Yeah, they can't marry without male consent, and women, unlike men, still can't pass on
00:45:24.320
I will say in most marriages, male consent is also used here.
00:45:30.520
I guess, unless it's two women marrying each other, male consent's always part of that
00:45:41.060

If you know what mesothelioma is, you or someone you love has likely been affected by this devastating
00:46:08.840
The only known cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure.
00:46:12.400
Thousands of U.S. veterans and trade workers are at risk for the disease.
00:46:15.820
Nearly $30 billion in court-ordered trusts has been set aside to pay money to asbestos victims.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:47:00.460
Is there ever a moment in which these crazy warnings and fears are ever...
00:47:07.980
Is there a moment where they later on go back and say, wow, we shouldn't have been...
00:47:14.880
Like, I mean, really, before Trump and Pence went into the White House, there was a legitimate
00:47:20.960
outward fear that Mike Pence was going to start imprisoning homosexuals.
00:47:24.460
I don't know where that came from because he didn't...
00:47:29.420
He wasn't really outspoken about it, to my knowledge.
00:47:32.100
I mean, you know, he might have had a couple comments in, like, the 90s when he was in
00:47:42.160
And I guess because Trump, obviously, not known as the most religious guy, they had to
00:47:49.040
And they were like, oh, he's going to spend all of his time, you know, driving around
00:47:52.900
cities, just picking up gay people and put them in the back of a van and then bringing
00:48:06.920
First of all, he wouldn't have dinner with women that weren't his wife.
00:48:15.080
The other one I was thinking of was, remember when they warned us that Cory Booker was going to
00:48:21.740
Cory Booker, you know, a moderate Republican senator from Colorado.
00:48:27.220
At no point did he ever consider trying to ban birth control.
00:48:32.020
And they ran tons of ads against him saying that when he got in there, that's what he's
00:48:38.600
He was going to go in there and try to ban birth control.
00:48:49.620
And that's, you know, it's essentially the same thing as Highland Handmaid's Tale,
00:48:56.020
I thought I said Gardner initially, but maybe we changed it.
00:49:22.380
The Pell Grants my little brother was counting on for college?
00:49:26.540
Climate change that everyone knows is weirding our weather.
00:49:34.880
This guy has no idea what's going on in the real world.
00:49:40.820
It's so, first of all, okay, if he's banned birth control, why are you going to all these
00:49:46.220
I guess, so he's banned the pill and condoms are theoretically available, but there's
00:49:52.240
There's been a run on them, and so, yeah, they're completely out of stock.
00:50:01.240
Us guys, we shouldn't have to even deal with it.
00:50:03.460
I love how dismissive he is of her when she asks about the drugs for her.
00:50:11.100
Why would I check the gas station and the grocery store and not the drug store, you loser?
00:50:22.240
Because you're so stupid that I can't bring myself to be interested.
00:50:32.760
Why would you think I wouldn't look at the drug store?
00:50:37.160
So essentially, right now, Cory Gardner has banned sex.
00:50:44.820
Because, I mean, God forbid, you know, you know, and it's like this idea.
00:50:48.940
So nobody comes back as, you know, like your first point.
00:50:52.160
Did they ever come back and say, hey, we panicked when we shouldn't have?
00:51:03.940
How about, I remember before George W. Bush, when he was going for re-election, Cameron Diaz.
00:51:14.680
So I just wanted to make sure people were familiar.
00:51:16.720
But she said that a vote for George Bush was a vote to legalize rape.
00:51:33.040
You should have, that's Gilead's policy, legalized rape.
00:51:38.860
Because he was such a hardcore conservative that was just always pushing for those conservative
00:51:50.500
There's never a point where you look back and you say, wow, you know what?
00:51:53.400
Well, how many predictions have been wrong about global warming?
00:52:03.400
I think it was, I want to say it was Nate Silver's book a few years ago.
00:52:05.800
And he wrote in there, it's a chapter on global warming and he's no conservative.
00:52:10.800
But he was writing about this and saying like, look, you know, it's all about prediction
00:52:20.140
And so at one point he's talking about global warming and he's like, you know, I think
00:52:25.100
normally what you would do, and he shows all the models and shows how typically these models
00:52:30.480
have overemphasized the potential for too much warming.
00:52:35.080
Like they've predicted incorrectly how much warming there was.
00:52:38.320
There was less warming in reality than there was in the prediction models.
00:52:41.460
And over time, when that happens over and over again, you would adjust your expectations.
00:52:45.760
Like that's how you make an informed prediction.
00:52:50.240
If you see these models are always too warm, you need to think about where it's going to
00:52:55.160
A guy on the left got beat up because just saying the idea that these, just admitting
00:52:59.720
the actual facts that the models were overheated was too much for anyone to take and to think
00:53:04.820
that maybe we should readjust our beliefs and how we, you know, think about this.
00:53:10.200
And he wasn't saying, I don't think global warming is real or anything like that.
00:53:13.280
Now, Bjorn Lundberg is another guy, a guy who's, who's said over and over again, he believes
00:53:17.520
in global warming, says it's human caused and says, but the way we want to spend money
00:53:23.200
on it and our priorities need to be thought of in a much more methodical fashion.
00:53:36.280
Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show, Takovus.
00:53:44.540
I know how ridiculous a great pair of boots can cost.
00:53:51.320
They sell their boots directly to the customer.
00:53:53.680
So their boots are half the price of anything that's even similar in quality.
00:53:58.800
They're all handmade with a 200 step process with only the best materials.
00:54:04.480
Their entire line honors the timeless traditional boot styles.
00:54:09.000
No silly stitching or sequins or loud colors or anything else.
00:54:11.960
These are just great boots like my grandfather would have worn.
00:54:15.540
With Takovus, there's no need to break them in.
00:54:18.100
They arrive already ready to be worn immediately, comfortably.
00:54:22.340
They're easy to order with tremendous customer service.
00:54:25.220
Takovus always has free shipping and free returns.
00:54:28.980
Check out their boots and their clothing and accessories right now.
00:54:53.680
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:55:00.160
So can we look forward to any kind of corrections on any of the hysteria that we've heard in the last few years?
00:55:08.300
I don't think it does because there really was a lot of hysteria.
00:55:13.640
You know, because Trump is so much more of a large figure in just the public eye.
00:55:23.180
He's so much more involved in the lives, I think, of the everyday person.
00:55:27.780
When it was Bush, it was more like the political people and people who followed the news.
00:55:32.880
There was a lot of craziness there in Hollywood and stuff like that.
00:55:38.200
I think everybody is hearing all of these stories every day.
00:55:44.740
And to me, Bush kind of set the stage for Trump in that he responded to almost nothing.
00:55:57.480
I think, you know, there was an interesting conversation I heard recently about the Tea Party and where it's gone.
00:56:04.160
I want to say it was with Tim Alberta, who wrote a great book.
00:56:15.280
You know, it's just the things that inspired the Tea Party.
00:56:24.760
These things are not even considered anymore by the Democrats or the Republicans.
00:56:28.500
You're a lunatic if you're a Republican even and you bring it up.
00:56:38.180
I mean, he was very overt about it and, you know, and open.
00:56:43.980
So, I mean, it's hard to criticize him, though the conservatives in Congress could still vote for different things.
00:56:59.500
The spending package that was just passed is utterly embarrassing.
00:57:04.460
We are projected to go $80 trillion in debt in the next 30 years.
00:57:15.860
Just Social Security and Medicare is actually $103 trillion of debt.
00:57:19.660
But the rest of the budget supposedly, and if you believe this, you'll believe anything, is supposed to be $23 trillion in surplus.
00:57:30.120
It really is like there's almost no interest in the idea.
00:57:33.460
How did they come up with $23 trillion in surplus?
00:57:40.580
But you know, $23 trillion outside of those programs.
00:57:48.620
But that's like we'll be running a budget surplus?
00:57:57.700
So there was an interesting sort of competing analysis.
00:58:01.520
One, the Tea Party was never about those things.
00:58:05.240
It was about, look, you know, it's the closest.
00:58:07.620
You're in your bedroom in the middle of the night.
00:58:18.900
And so the closest thing to opposition to something they did not want, which was Barack Obama,
00:58:27.680
They grabbed for whatever was the most useful thing against Obama at that time.
00:58:31.900
But it was never a real belief of the core voter.
00:58:39.820
But the people who were really supportive of the Tea Party said, we tried so hard.
00:58:45.160
We did all of these things and we still got nowhere.
00:58:49.720
And if basically given up and now let's just fight out the culture war and we'll fight out
00:58:55.660
We'll talk about Colin Kaepernick every day because that stuff's never going away.
00:59:03.120
I mean, there's one bill passed by essentially the Tea Party, which was the sequester.
00:59:07.560
And if you remember that whole debate, it was a one real one real restriction on spending
00:59:13.700
It was overridden every single time by Republicans largely that said, we can go past these caps.
00:59:30.480
Because they both believe it's the president believes it's been taken off the table.
00:59:36.080
They can never say government shutdown, government shutdown.
00:59:40.620
And now and that's what the Republicans in Washington believe at all levels is like,
00:59:50.000
So we're just going to do what we need to do and spend as we need to spend.
00:59:53.940
Why should we take the arrows for this if you guys don't care about it?
00:59:57.460
And, you know, that's not leadership by any means, but it is seemingly the reality in 2019.
01:00:02.680
So the fallout from the debate is still going on.
01:00:09.860
And we are seeing a bunch of these candidates now have to answer for things that they either said or that are in their history.
01:00:18.780
And a lot of this happens when it's a good news if you are able to make a splash in the debate, but then they're going to start asking you questions.
01:00:28.440
This is all from sort of reaction interviews after the debates.
01:00:36.000
I thought she was the best one in that second debate.
01:00:41.900
She had a really good back and forth with Kamala Harris.
01:01:00.420
And the fact that she did two tours in the Middle East is amazing.
01:01:04.540
And that now you wouldn't expect her to be really anti-war.
01:01:12.460
And she's sort of, she has an interesting brand of her type of anti-war.
01:01:17.180
It's like, there's a certain, I think I said this, there's like a, you know, it's like
01:01:23.760
if Bernie Sanders and like someone from the alt-right had a baby.
01:01:30.360
It's like her, it's like really, it's a strange grouping of views.
01:01:34.200
But part of that is why she kind of seems like the most sane sometimes, because she has
01:01:38.580
some views that are sort of conservative, libertarian-ish.
01:01:44.060
Strangely, some people are now, and I'm sure it's just opponents in the Democrat Party,
01:01:49.760
believing that she's being controlled by Russians.
01:01:55.180
Because she aligns, the foreign policy stuff aligns well with like the Russia Today take
01:02:01.280
Like that, you know, one of the big ones is Bashar al-Assad.
01:02:08.440
Like the biggest defender of Assad that you could find.
01:02:14.120
It's a strange, again, it's a strange set of views.
01:02:17.980
I'd like to hear, I don't know that I ever have heard her explain why she's pro-Assad.
01:02:23.300
There's not a lot of people, like you said, who are.
01:02:29.740
When sitting down with someone like Bashar al-Assad in Syria, do you confront him directly
01:02:35.740
and say, why do you order chemical attacks on your own people?
01:02:39.820
Why do you cause the killings of over half a million people in your country?
01:02:43.780
Look, you know, I want to break this down to what we're talking about.
01:02:49.100
I want to break this down to what we're talking about here today, because you're talking
01:02:52.300
about a meeting that took place, what, three years ago?
01:02:57.080
No, every time I come back here on MSNBC, you guys talk to me about these issues.
01:03:02.280
It sounds like these are talking points that Kamala Harris and her campaign are feeding
01:03:06.040
you because she's refusing to address the questions that were posed to her.
01:03:11.100
It's important, I think, for the American people to have context about your foreign policy
01:03:14.940
If you're leading with foreign policy and you're running for the president of the United
01:03:17.700
States, a meeting with Bashar al-Assad, which I'm sure you understand, is a very controversial
01:03:23.300
meeting to take, hence the reason why, when you come on MSNBC, it is important for us
01:03:29.220
And of course, every anchor has a different perspective and different questions to ask
01:03:33.700
So when you're on for three years, this is where the propaganda comes in.
01:03:39.380
You kind of like that, though, because she's subjected to some of what Republicans face
01:03:46.380
I will say, and this is a great example of it because it happens to Republicans all the
01:03:50.120
You can't say, look, it's important we ask these questions.
01:03:53.260
We have to have context to your trip and then demand a yes or no answer.
01:03:56.680
You can't get context out of a yes or no answer.
01:04:06.580
You know, she's talked about this in that she did it eventually.
01:04:10.100
You know, she will acknowledge that this guy is a really bad guy.
01:04:14.560
She said that he, you know, he is a, she's very much against war there, but she says,
01:04:19.720
you know, he is, he did, you know, hurt his and kill his own people with chemical weapons
01:04:25.660
I think there's a little bit of a temptation with her in that, you know, we forget that
01:04:33.560
people like Dianne Feinstein was meeting with Assad.
01:04:36.420
Assad was not someone that the Democrats didn't meet with routinely and not only Democrats, but
01:04:41.820
Yeah, a short time ago, he was not the boogeyman of the Middle East.
01:04:44.960
Once they got into that war, most people bailed on the thing, though.
01:04:47.380
And she, she seems to be the one who stuck around it the most, which is kind of strange.
01:04:53.900
But the two things to take out of that, I think.
01:04:55.920
Number one, people are starting to recognize that Gabbard is at least a force on the, on
01:05:01.720
Someone who has the, the possibility of getting into the next debates, someone who could make
01:05:11.160
Because she could run how many times, six times, five or six times.
01:05:18.560
But she could also be a possibility for a secretary of state or secretary of defense or something
01:05:28.240
The hand is tipped there as she once again goes after Kamala Harris.
01:05:31.800
Like, she has made, her job right now is going after Harris to protect Biden.
01:05:37.840
Will that lock down the vice president nomination?
01:05:47.680
I mean, look, she's a, a woman of color, which is the way you're supposed to say that now.
01:05:55.720
For some reason, a woman of color is so much better.
01:06:02.840
Because like the worst thing you can say is just reversing the words.
01:06:18.620
What, what, what, what, uh, what ethnicity, is she, is she Polynesian?
01:06:29.080
There's a scale on the, on the Democratic Party of intersectionality.
01:06:37.960
So she's got a couple things going for her there.
01:06:39.600
When you look at her, do you think of her as not white?
01:06:42.760
I don't know that most people think of her as, as a minority.
01:06:46.720
She's usually talked about in those, uh, in those, in those groupings.
01:06:50.060
Um, but yeah, I think she has that, uh, you know, Polynesian background of some level.
01:06:59.960
We don't, we don't classify people that way all the time.
01:07:06.680
This has happened to us legitimately a dozen times since we've been doing the show and
01:07:10.580
that we'll come out and we'll be critical of someone and they'll come out and they'll
01:07:14.220
say, oh, you're just criticizing them because they're whatever, whatever it is, Jewish, Catholic,
01:07:23.900
I thought, I thought that I thought it was just a white dude.
01:07:27.320
I, I, I, I, you know, it's so funny that people are so obsessed with these groupings and racial
01:07:33.540
identities and, and I mean, I just, I don't think about it.
01:07:39.020
And Glenn, go by that ancient thought process that, uh, uh, what was his name?
01:08:01.220
So when Martin Luther King said judgment by the content of the character rather than color
01:08:06.220
of skin, I think we kind of took that to heart and we've been trying to do it.
01:08:09.540
It's not even a thing for me before all of this stuff where everybody demands that we notice
01:08:16.440
I think they demand that left insists that you notice the color of skin.
01:08:22.080
Like, cause I, you know, I think conservatives, especially modern day conservatives took Martin
01:08:28.180
Luther King literally said, yeah, that that's the goal.
01:08:38.240
And the goal is that all that reverse the old days are just reversed, um, where now it's
01:08:45.380
I mean, you listen to the people who talk, especially people who are like election analysts
01:08:49.280
talking about polls and you just hear them say things like, you know, it's really great
01:08:53.600
because you know, she's a, she's a black woman and that, and then she'll get black voters.
01:08:57.220
And you're just like, whoa, I don't talk to an individual African American person.
01:09:04.100
Are they voting for a black person because they're black?
01:09:09.000
Is a woman really voting for a woman, a female candidate because they're a woman?
01:09:13.760
No, you vote for them because they're the best candidate and you're supposed to not care
01:09:17.360
about all these little subgroups when you make your decisions.
01:09:22.680
And I feel like conservatives largely are there.
01:09:26.100
You know, I, I, I, we looked at how many candidates.
01:09:30.100
I mean, this last field was as, as they would say for Republicans, a diverse field.
01:09:35.060
I mean, you had everything you had Hispanics, an Indian American, you had women, you had,
01:09:41.220
I mean, you had, you know, all the colors of the freaking rainbow, but there was never
01:09:45.920
a moment in which any of that entered my analysis of that election.
01:09:49.260
Like there's never, there's never more like, who do I want to vote for?
01:09:56.440
Cause I only make my decision based on genitals.
01:09:58.660
That's an important part of my election analysis.
01:10:02.520
The pigment in your skin, what does that have to do with any of this?
01:10:05.680
It's who has the best policies, who would be the best leader, who actually cares about
01:10:12.180
It is really like, we can't have a white man again is, is like half of their voting
01:10:19.340
population who are taking one gender and one color in eliminating them.
01:10:26.720
That is what, that was the problem with racism.
01:10:29.340
It was the problem Martin Luther King was trying to solve.
01:10:33.200
Say, stop looking at the color of our skin and eliminating us.
01:10:37.320
And the response to that now is we got to eliminate those white people.
01:10:44.300
So, you know, it's, you know, it's fascinating that it's come that far because it's gone
01:10:48.580
from the goal at the time race was way too big an issue.
01:10:59.580
And it's like, I don't, I, how do you even follow this crap?
01:11:03.400
So Gabbard, I think would be an interesting choice for VP, but her history is, is strange
01:11:14.620
She really doesn't because, okay, you've gained Hawaii.
01:11:19.420
Uh, so, well, I mean, I guess that's the, you know, someone who works this hard on behalf
01:11:27.540
of Biden during these debates though, is going to get rewarded if she, if he wins.
01:11:31.880
You would think that she, you know, she may very well not even want VP.
01:11:37.400
I mean, that is the, that is what she cares about.
01:11:40.220
She's not, she's not one of these candidates that's coming out with basically just trying
01:11:48.320
It's why I think people look at her and see some authenticity that they don't see in
01:11:56.120
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:12:05.720
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:12:08.920
Another ridiculous zero tolerance policy sort of thing just happened in Michigan.
01:12:15.420
Michigan elementary school student was charged with aggravated assault for hitting a classmate
01:12:21.660
in the head with a, with a ball, a rubber ball during a game of dodgeball on the school
01:12:30.680
Aggravated assault for playing dodgeball and hitting somebody in the head.
01:12:34.440
Isn't the function of dodgeball you're supposed to hit people with balls?
01:12:39.180
But, but yeah, but you're supposed to dodge the ball.
01:12:42.180
And so maybe you don't get hit anywhere, but the kid was obviously trying to kill him.
01:12:53.980
10-year-old Bryce Lindley, who was in fifth grade, learned he was being charged last week
01:13:00.740
At the time, he was suspended from school for one day.
01:13:07.320
This is a kid playing on the playground with his friends.
01:13:09.920
I mean, was it one of those things where like the kid wasn't looking and it came up and
01:13:13.380
threw the ball as hard as they could from two feet away?
01:13:15.820
That's, you could, you could argue a suspension for something like that, right?
01:13:21.720
I mean, this is just, it's completely absurd tonight, but this is kind of where we are
01:13:29.540
I'm surprised dodgeball is allowed anywhere at this point.
01:13:31.800
I know it's, it has been banned in many, many places because it's just a vicious, brutal,
01:13:41.340
How did we live through our childhoods when we all played dodgeball, went outside, rode bikes
01:13:47.440
As far as I know, we were the only two that did survive it.
01:13:57.880
You probably still haven't buried them from their childhood.
01:14:02.640
Cause I mean, I really walk, we'd walk home from school.
01:14:06.120
You drive your bike home from school, like miles.
01:14:09.400
And your parents never worried you were going to get kidnapped by anybody.
01:14:19.900
I like, I listened to Lenore Skenazy who started that organization, uh, let grow, which is about
01:14:25.520
like free range kids, the free range kids movement.
01:14:27.800
And she, you know, works hard to make sure parents don't get arrested for letting their
01:14:35.260
And every time I talk to her, I think to myself, she's 100% right on all of these arguments.
01:14:40.820
Like the crime, it's much less likely anything like this would happen.
01:14:45.380
You know, school shootings is a great example of this and nobody knows this, but school shootings,
01:14:49.780
I was much, much, much more likely to be shot in a school shooting when I was in
01:14:57.200
It's like three times, I'm three times as likely to get shot in the 1990s.
01:15:03.640
Even to me, I look at those numbers all the time and it doesn't feel that way.
01:15:07.080
So we've, at some level, you know, seen danger go down so much, but at the same time, like
01:15:14.060
I, you know, my kids, like, I can't even imagine letting my kid walk home three miles
01:15:17.960
from school or ride his bike home three miles from school.
01:15:34.480
And I know, I know in my brain, I know logically it doesn't make any sense.
01:15:39.100
But there's just that part of you that's like, uh, well, the second I turned my head, they're
01:15:55.600
With Pat and Stu, uh, you can check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, a weekday mornings.
01:16:01.380
It's from, uh, seven to nine Eastern, six to eight central.
01:16:07.100
Or you can just check it out on a podcast, wherever those are available.
01:16:20.040
Uh, and I will say there's a lot of great election, uh, debate analysis this week that
01:16:28.200
It's, it's secondary in my mind because there was the return of something called the national
01:16:32.800
football league last night, which is really all I care about.
01:16:40.660
It's the 12th string players, but I just loved seeing it on my television.
01:16:44.640
You know, I was channel surfing the other day and came across the, uh, Longhorn network,
01:16:51.400
you know, the Texas UT's, uh, television network.
01:16:55.140
And just to kill time, cause you know, you got to fill 24 seven worth of broadcasting on
01:17:01.800
a, uh, uh, channel that just really covers one Texas football and that's about it.
01:17:10.800
It was Texas, Arkansas and Keith Jackson was the play-by-play guy.
01:17:20.760
I had no interest in either team, just the sound of the voice and the fact that it was
01:17:32.700
But I'm very, I mean, I, I like watching baseball.
01:17:35.960
I like watching basketball, but there's nothing like the, for me, you're not like football.
01:17:40.580
And for me, the national football league, I know you are a, uh, more of a college guy,
01:17:48.180
You know, especially when you have your options are watching Bernie Sanders or watching Kamala
01:17:57.180
They are trying to, to, to figure out, they're trying to sort something out here on the left.
01:18:00.480
And I remember how the Republican primaries of 2016 just ripped the conservative movement
01:18:10.060
Like there were people who absolutely freaking love Ted Cruz, absolutely freaking love Donald
01:18:21.720
There was passing interest in John Kasich at times, not by him, his family, his mom, his
01:18:33.400
Well, she was sort of divided, but, uh, she wound up, she did wind up voting for Trump,
01:18:37.440
but she was, she's thought about Kasich for a while, but there, I mean, there was a lot
01:18:42.460
When you go back and think about that field, you know, I mean, you had people who made,
01:18:47.600
you know, no impact in the race that were really good candidates.
01:18:51.220
I mean, Bobby Jindal is a guy who turned around a state, was an incredibly executive, he's
01:18:59.800
He, you know, introduces a very detailed, very good conservative healthcare alternative.
01:19:06.620
Uh, and basically was at 0% until he dropped out.
01:19:10.340
I mean, like that was a, it was a big field, but what was funny about that, uh, and it wasn't
01:19:15.100
funny at the time, is how much everyone basically hated each other that consult considered themselves
01:19:20.740
Like everyone, everyone had their guy and hated all the other guys.
01:19:25.000
And now we're seeing that on the Democrats and it's a lot more fun.
01:19:28.820
It's, it's, it's like everyone who's a Kamala person hates all the Joe Biden people and all
01:19:33.820
the people who are Biden people hate the Kamala people and Cory Booker hates Biden.
01:19:39.520
If there's, and there's like three people who are Cory Booker people who are also not in
01:19:43.720
love with Biden, so Biden was asked on, uh, on TV this week about, is the party going too
01:19:52.580
Is it, is it, are we getting a little out of control here with the movement towards, let's
01:20:02.600
Do you think it's moving too far to the left, even on immigration, where some of your fellow
01:20:06.040
Democratic candidates say that they want to decriminalize those who cross the border illegally?
01:20:10.660
Well, look, it's not about moving left to right.
01:20:15.020
I think my views are where the vast majority of the Democratic Party are.
01:20:18.720
There's a lot of really, really good people that got elected who are really pushing the
01:20:25.780
But the idea that they represent what the party is today does not comport with who gets
01:20:36.400
And so, but it's a total, it's a totally legitimate debate to have.
01:20:40.700
The one thing we have to focus on, and the one thing I agree with Corey on last night,
01:20:49.840
Every one of those people on that stage has a fundamentally different view than Barack,
01:20:54.440
excuse me, they talk about Barack, but they have a fundamentally different view than the
01:21:01.080
And let's argue who has the best path forward to lead this country to greatness.
01:21:08.540
I think other than it does not comport that he kept saying over and over again, he's probably
01:21:13.920
Like he's probably is the, a better representative of the average Democratic voter than someone
01:21:21.340
But the activists are the ones that are voting in the primary.
01:21:28.140
Which makes it really tough for somebody like him.
01:21:30.000
Biden's no moderate, as we pointed out a million times.
01:21:32.580
But the fact that, you know, like the moderate position of only free college for two years
01:21:40.320
That's like, that's something that Obama didn't, did he even suggest that?
01:21:43.940
Did Barack Obama, I don't remember him suggesting it.
01:21:47.400
I mean, I'm sure they would have, he would have loved it.
01:21:49.620
But now the idea that if you don't go for four years of college for free and a free job
01:21:54.020
and a universal basic income and let, you know, people cross the border with no penalties
01:21:58.560
and give them free health care, if you're not that person, you're psychotically right.
01:22:02.520
You know, I just, I don't, I don't think that's the reality for the voters.
01:22:05.320
And it's probably why Biden's winning right now.
01:22:17.020
I mean, it seems like there's always something that either hurts or bothers us health-wise,
01:22:21.220
Well, if that's you, you really need to see what CBD products can do for your health.
01:22:26.420
CBD may offer many of the health benefits of marijuana, but without the high.

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:23:36.000
I thought we were going to go to this Kamala Harris clip about employee-based insurance.
01:23:42.560
I've got that right here because she's trying to defend.
01:23:55.440
Here's Kamala Harris talking about whether she's going to eliminate employer-based insurance.
01:23:59.960
One of the things that has been charged is that you will not be able to keep your private insurance.
01:24:05.580
If we get insurance through CNN, if GM workers get insurance through GM,
01:24:10.360
under your plan, they will not be able to keep that private insurance.
01:24:16.820
What the conversation was was about whether you can keep your private insurance through your employer.
01:24:24.380
My plan will separate your health care from your employer,
01:24:29.460
meaning your employer will no longer dictate the kind of health care you receive.
01:24:33.700
Under my plan of Medicare for all, private insurance companies will be able to provide coverage if they play by our rules.
01:24:43.140
And therefore, what that means in a very important way is that you don't have to be wed to your employer to keep the insurance you like and that you need.
01:24:58.640
But it will not be coupled with your employer so you can have choices about where you work and where you live.
01:25:08.740
But what you have to convince voters of is that, yes, they may be able to keep a private insurance, but it's not their private insurance, correct?
01:25:21.040
No, because you're basically allowing for a Medicare Advantage plan where insurers can enter that plan and they can choose it if they want to.
01:25:28.800
But if you're getting insurance from GM, from your employer, you will not be able to keep that, correct?
01:25:37.600
The insurer who has partnered with GM is going to then have the opportunity to compete in my Medicare for All plan.
01:25:45.860
And so you as the consumer can choose under my Medicare for All plan to have a public plan, a government-sponsored plan, or a private plan.
01:25:53.600
She didn't say a single thing about the NFL, Stu.
01:26:02.440
I think she went into the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver situation right after this.
01:26:09.920
So, because this is a shade different than a Bernie plan, right?
01:26:13.980
Where she's saying, first of all, it's going to take 10 years to transition.
01:26:16.980
Second of all, what she's saying is, in theory, you could get a private insurance plan if you want, right?
01:26:24.980
Now, the idea of separating employer from insurance is not a liberal idea.
01:26:31.020
It's an idea that I would say most economists on the left and the right think it would be good.
01:26:36.900
Plus, can I just point out, you can choose your insurance today because you don't have to take a job where an insurance plan you don't like is offered.
01:26:53.340
Like, you're going to because your employer is paying for part of it and they get a group discount rate.
01:27:00.360
Like, I because I am very friendly to the idea of having insurance separate from my employer.
01:27:08.500
So, I take it, you know, and I think that's what everybody does.
01:27:11.260
I think in a perfect world, this would be a good thing.
01:27:14.980
Like, the idea that you're tied to your employer with your insurance is actually not a thing that Kamala Harris is making up.
01:27:21.420
Conservative economists have been arguing for this forever.
01:27:23.940
They're just saying go to a free market system on the other side of that.
01:27:27.300
Yeah, she's saying you're going to allow competition state to state.
01:27:31.260
Yeah, and that's a big part of a lot of that stuff.
01:27:33.500
Yeah, and she's saying, OK, well, we're going to give everybody a government plan.
01:27:36.480
And then I guess if someone wants to come in and try to compete as a private plan, they will.
01:27:39.920
Her argument in her belief is what they will do is subsidize these plans so much.
01:27:44.560
No one will pick the private insurance and eventually private insurance goes away anyway.
01:27:47.900
Like, she's trying to do it a little bit through the back door where Bernie's just saying it.
01:27:52.960
He's just coming out and saying we're getting rid of it.
01:27:54.420
It's going to be illegal for you to have private insurance.
01:27:56.360
So there is a little bit of a shade, I suppose, of difference there.
01:28:00.300
But you just see these people try to struggle to get through and say exactly what's happening with their own plans.
01:28:07.380
She can't admit that health care is going away.
01:28:10.500
If you have it through GM, if you have it through CNN, you're not going to have it there anymore.
01:28:15.700
And that is something that polls in the mid-20s nationwide, mid-20s.
01:28:20.180
And they don't want to admit it because they know how unpopular it is.
01:28:29.080
And he's basically running a president-vice president thing with Warren.
01:28:34.500
They're just trying to figure out which one's first.
01:28:36.400
I don't think either one would name the other as their candidate.
01:28:38.840
But they're running essentially an alliance right now.
01:28:43.260
And they're working basically together to fend off all these attacks.
01:28:46.320
And all their policies sound almost exactly identical.
01:28:53.020
can you explain what is the freaking difference between you and Elizabeth?
01:28:57.140
At some point, you and Elizabeth Warren, as most pundits seem to indicate,
01:29:09.460
I'll tell you, I'll let you guys and the punditry and the American people make that decision.
01:29:16.700
What is the single principle, what is the biggest difference between you and Senator Sanders?
01:29:26.040
I have to tell the American people what I believe.
01:29:28.620
And I'm going to take on the greed of Wall Street, the drug companies, the insurance companies.
01:29:34.140
We are going to tell the fossil fuel industry that they cannot continue to destroy this planet
01:29:46.000
First of all, of course, he's got to draw distinctions.
01:29:47.660
I mean, if not, people are going to do it for you.
01:29:50.300
You know, she's going to wind up beating him in this because he's just, you know,
01:29:56.460
But beyond that, what they just, what he just described as his philosophy was to say, I think
01:30:05.160
Those four things are basically the fundamental basis of our civilization.
01:30:19.060
And you might say, well, Wall Street's not the fundamental basis.
01:30:23.240
You know, the first stock was in the, you know, ever sold was in the 1600s back in the
01:30:30.920
And that was the foundation of how capital gets moved around and eventually creates the
01:30:39.600
I mean, so Wall Street, while you can criticize things at all four of those groups, they are
01:30:45.060
the fundamental basis of our civilization if you eliminate, you know, things like faith,
01:30:49.920
which obviously are important to some, but not all.
01:30:51.540
But I mean, when it comes down to just human things, these are the greatest things that
01:30:57.700
And their whole platform is just opposing them.
01:31:24.920
I mean, it seems like there's always something that either hurts or bothers us health-wise,
01:31:29.840
Well, if that's you, you really need to see what CBD products can do for your health.
01:31:34.660

Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program this week.
01:32:57.940
Yeah, he's out this week and next week, by the way.
01:33:03.280
Actually, next week, he's not really on vacation.
01:33:10.280
Yeah, he's going on a tour of some local establishments.
01:33:20.040
One of the girls who they rescued was thought to be dead, apparently.
01:33:28.440
And they found her and they're going to bring her home to their new home, Australia, which
01:33:33.260
is, again, created by the donations of this audience.
01:33:37.540
I don't mean Australia was, but I mean, the area where these refugees are living, you know,
01:33:43.800
all of this comes from, you know, large and generous donations of this audience with the Nazarene Fund.
01:33:51.080
And, you know, thousands of people have been rescued from really terrible circumstances.
01:33:55.800
And I know checking all that stuff out and doing, I mean, you know, this is something Glenn cares deeply about.
01:34:00.620
Obviously, if you listen to the show, you know that.
01:34:13.460
The best thing is you just get to make fun of a lot of people.
01:34:16.620
Are you, have you, surely you've listened to the tape of Ronald Reagan talking to Richard Nixon back in, what was this, 1968-ish?
01:34:39.260
He refers to them as monkeys, right, without any shoes on or whatever.
01:34:43.060
And it's, he's disparaging the UN and he's saying, we don't want to be subjected to all these people.
01:34:52.200
Final confirmation that Reagan was the racist we all knew he was is essentially how this is being promoted.
01:35:00.260
I know when I listened to it, I thought, okay, they've, you know, interpolated this in some way that isn't what he said.
01:35:16.100
Has, is there any evidence other than that that...
01:35:19.520
Yeah, Paul Kangor, who is a Reagan biographer, wrote about this and said, you know, look, this is not a good statement.
01:35:25.600
It is literally the only one he's ever found that was anything like it.
01:35:30.480
He has, he's, he talks about how he has giant boxes filled with documents and statements titled Reagan on race.
01:35:41.900
So, I mean, so if you want to deep, you know, if you want to dive into it a little bit, first of all, if you can't judge someone by one word that they've made in 1971.
01:35:53.200
It's not, even if it's bad, you know, you try to look at the breadth of a person and realize what was their life really like.
01:36:00.260
You know, he was very good on these issues in a million other opportunities.
01:36:07.640
The other thing you can look at is, you know, he was talking to someone who was kind of a racist, right?
01:36:12.420
Richard Nixon, if you look through those tapes, he's making anti-Semitic comments and race, racially insensitive comments throughout.
01:36:19.140
You know, is it one of those things where he's, you know, you're in a room where people are making foul jokes and you make a foul joke?
01:36:28.000
Do they taint, and because of, you talk about one comment, as compared to the comments of LBJ that were practically endless up to 1964, and they ignore all of that.
01:36:42.640
Margaret Sanger, they ignore all of her racism.
01:36:47.000
And so, they'll, and by the way, I, we just don't say enough how bad of a president LBJ was and that he may very well be our worst president.
01:36:57.020
Again, when you look at that debt number and you realize all of it, or at least two-thirds of it comes from him, you know, you remember that.
01:37:05.440
Because not only was he terrible as a president, but also an awful human being in a million different ways.
01:37:11.180
Like, this is not a good dude, and he gets a complete pass.
01:37:22.040
It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program this week and next week as well.
01:37:27.020
And because Glenn's not here, there's extra room in the parking lot, a lot of space for people to park in places they don't usually,
01:37:35.440
because when Glenn's not here, about three-quarters of the building doesn't show up to work.
01:37:42.960
But there was, right next to my car the other day was parked one of those, one of the smart cars.
01:37:49.900
Those teeny little things that look like a Yugo vomited, and that's what came out.
01:38:01.340
I guess you have to be wholeheartedly into global warming, right?
01:38:11.020
And also, you know, it does get good gas mileage.
01:38:13.940
But I think, if I remember right, you have to use premium gasoline.
01:38:25.260
So you can save gas, but you're paying more for the gas you need to use.
01:38:32.800
It's so, you know, the most annoying thing about those cars is you can't tell when they're
01:38:43.900
Every time I see one, I'm so tempted to just gun it.
01:38:53.740
I just, it's so frustrating when you turn that corner and you're about to pull in.
01:39:00.540
There are so many irritating things about that car.
01:39:08.940
Is it under company, like a, is it something related to like a Mercedes or something?
01:39:15.860
It's like, I don't think it is a Mercedes, but it is like, I think owned maybe by Mercedes?
01:39:29.700
Remember, it was funny going back and you look at those days late in the 2007, 2008,
01:39:34.900
you know, as we're getting into that election, one of the big issues was gas prices.
01:39:39.220
So, gas prices were a huge thing and people were looking for ways not to save the planet,
01:39:46.520
And that was kind of the criticism of the smart car at the time.
01:39:49.180
You, first of all, you have to be folded up like a, you know, like your piece of paper
01:39:55.880
And then you're not even getting the benefits really of saving money because you're paying,
01:40:00.100
you know, 40 cents more than regular because you have to put premium in the freaking car
01:40:07.760
Why would, I wonder why that would be the case.
01:40:13.020
I mean, you know, my car says it's supposed to have premium in it, but like I want it
01:40:19.860
Whether it's true or not, I put premium in there.
01:40:22.640
If you're a smart car though, that's the last thing you're thinking of, right?
01:40:26.040
You're not like, oh, I got to get this thing to go 0 to 60 in 18 seconds instead of 19.
01:40:29.320
It gets 40 miles per gallon, which is good, but that's not exceptional.
01:40:33.580
No, it's not even close to like a, you know, a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid or anything like
01:40:38.300
It's just like, I want less space is your argument for it.
01:40:42.400
I guess like if you were in a city where there's a lot of parallel parking, maybe you're making
01:40:47.460
deliveries in a city, like you'd see a use for it in some capacity, but.
01:40:59.160
A squirrel's child gets you, you're flipping the car for sure.
01:41:04.480
And I don't even know that you live through that.
01:41:12.260
And then it goes back to the, you know, Barack Obama famously said we were going to have
01:41:15.680
like millions and millions of electric cars on the road by, I want to say it was 2016
01:41:26.920
Like they had cars that are like, we think there'll be 65,000 Fiskers on the road by 2020.
01:41:32.160
And like Fisker went out of business like a week later.
01:41:37.720
There was a bunch of those like startup electric car brands that just all died at the same
01:41:43.140
It was basically the Solyndra approach to economics where you give a bunch of money and tax incentives
01:41:49.060
to companies that go out of business a week later.
01:41:57.180
And that's one of the interesting things about this week with these debates is the Democrats
01:42:01.980
are becoming critical of Biden and they have to say bad things about Obama.
01:42:07.660
But is that a good idea in a Democratic primary?
01:42:10.140
Let me give you some of these stats on polling.
01:42:13.240
Democrats approval rating of Barack Obama currently is at 95 to 4.
01:42:26.400
Are you playing to the AOC side too much when you're, you're trying to play up to AOC and
01:42:35.760
I don't know what it is among Democrats, but it's, it's, it's higher than 20 probably among
01:42:41.700
These are Democrat or Democrat leaning black voters.
01:42:52.340
Now on the other side of that, of course, is a big portion of our society, which is 0% unfavorable.
01:43:00.220
So it's 99 to 0, but 1% has not made their mind up yet.
01:43:04.500
So there's literally no one shows up as disapproving of Barack Obama.
01:43:09.280
And this is why I think one of the reasons Biden does so well in South Carolina right now,
01:43:13.320
because it's the first state with a large minority population voting in the primary.
01:43:17.640
And these other candidates who are coming out bashing Joe Biden and Barack Obama, it's
01:43:23.500
The other part of this, which is interesting is I think once again, the Democrats have lost
01:43:27.880
sight as to how important and how liberal the average Democratic voter is among total
01:43:39.240
And Harry Enten has a great breakdown of this between Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
01:43:43.600
Here's the states that are going to turn the election.
01:43:45.120
Most likely Barack Obama among all voters, including Republicans is, is, has a 57% favorability.
01:43:54.340
He's a, he's a popular president, at least in his, in his exit.
01:44:00.680
Would you rather, again, this is Democrats, would you rather have building on top of Obamacare
01:44:07.300
or would you rather replace it for Medicare for all?
01:44:14.480
So 16 point lead for the more conservative quote unquote of those two policies.
01:44:22.460
Those are, if you know those lessons, if you're in this world, why wouldn't you feel comfortable
01:44:29.480
Joe Biden is out there running away from that moniker.
01:44:34.200
We have a clip from his press conference yesterday.
01:44:40.080
Biden talking about was, was Obamacare a conservative policy?
01:44:46.780
Was it, I don't know, maybe a socialist policy?
01:44:51.840
There's nothing moderate about what Barack did in Obamacare.
01:44:55.400
No president had come close and they tried and they tried and they tried seven presidents.
01:45:05.060
In addition to that, he covered a hundred million people who had preexisting conditions.
01:45:11.180
He allowed kids to stay in their parents' policies until they're 26 years old.
01:45:17.680
We tried to get the Medicare option added to it.
01:45:22.520
I will get it done this time because the people have realized what it's about.
01:45:30.220
Now, remember, this was sold to us, the American people, as a moderate approach.
01:45:37.840
It was originated with a heritage foundation and it was basically Romneycare.
01:45:43.780
This is, we're almost passing a Republican policy here.
01:45:47.300
And we said all along, no, this is the first step to socialize medicine.
01:45:52.840
They're trying to bring about single payer universal health care.
01:45:59.600
And we said this is a massive move towards progressivism.
01:46:05.380
And now you hear Joe Biden saying the same exact thing.
01:46:08.900
We played the clip over and over again with a guy from Tides Foundation where, you know,
01:46:15.120
Someone once said to me, this is a Trojan horse for a single payer.
01:46:17.440
And I said, well, it's not a Trojan horse, right?
01:46:23.580
So in other words, between a capitalist system and single payer universal health care,
01:46:45.300
And if you listen closely enough to these debates, if you can take it, if you can handle how awful it is.
01:46:54.320
But if you can take it and you listen to the quote unquote moderates pushing back on single payer health care.
01:47:00.340
Why didn't you put a quote in the quotation marks?
01:47:05.660
The quote moderates end quote that were in the debate.
01:47:10.500
If you listen to what they're saying, what they're saying is I'm more moderate because I think we should try to do it slowly so people don't notice.
01:47:20.420
You know what would be really bad for our society is socialized medicine.
01:47:24.160
The argument is we got to be realistic about what we can get done right now.
01:47:32.400
But get something done now instead of shooting for the moon and getting nothing.
01:47:35.340
That is the that is the argument in the Democratic Party.
01:47:45.400
They're not even saying necessarily even the Delaney's of the world and the Hickenloopers are necessarily even saying socialism is bad.
01:47:54.140
They're saying we'll lose to Trump if we if we admit we're exactly because they will say socialism is bad because it's a bad approach.
01:48:03.880
That's all they're worried about because it's bad.
01:48:05.960
Not because they don't like that system or wouldn't like to go to that.
01:48:14.480
It was the argument between progressives and you know revolutionaries.
01:48:22.240
I've dropped the radical means for the radical ends.
01:48:32.120
Even these people they say are moderates are saying we want to get to these social programs eventually.
01:48:38.220
We want to get there but we need to take step by step and be methodical.
01:48:41.920
And I think there's a good argument for that because the American people have shown over and over again that once you pass one of these programs and you get it in there for a few years, they it becomes part of them.
01:48:57.840
Social Security is a good example of it right now.
01:49:05.920
You're seeing Republican governors now embrace the Medicaid expansions that initially that they opposed and initially were and were ruled, by the way, unconstitutional the way they tried to do it.
01:49:21.760
And, you know, they know if we can take a baby step, we'll never turn back.
01:49:26.540
It's like with the budget when they're like, oh, we're going to add 100 billion dollars of spending.
01:49:29.420
Well, that's not 100 billion dollars of spending.
01:49:30.840
When you add 100 billion dollars of spending, the next year, the budget is calculated off of that new higher number.
01:49:37.680
So you've created that 100 billion dollars of spending for every year in the future.
01:49:53.100
It's why progressivism has worked to really transform our country.
01:49:59.180
I don't know if that's going to work with voters, but it's terrifying because if it does, we are we are an entirely different nation.
01:50:06.900
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
01:50:31.500
I mean, it's not one of those things you can eat in any sort of rational way.
01:50:36.240
Whenever I eat there, I just I mean, I eat way too much and I just love it so much.
01:50:42.440
Or you can go to you can have McDonald's breakfast and eat something that's relatively OK.
01:50:55.480
By the way, Burger King is going to have the Impossible Whopper in stores next week.
01:51:01.640
So we did a taste test last time with the Impossible Burger.
01:51:12.640
But in this survey of customer loyalty, Chick-fil-A turned out to be America's favorite restaurant.
01:51:23.420
And they have by far the best customer service.
01:51:38.940
They had a peach milkshake that I saw on the menu recently.
01:51:57.560
Five Guys won the category in food quality and speed.
01:52:03.500
Five Guys in In-N-Out are pretty similar to me.
01:52:08.320
The best thing about Five Guys is they give you fries.
01:52:12.240
And they intentionally give you too many to fit in the container.
01:52:35.640
In the Mexican food category, Chipotle beat up Moe's.
