Is that American Giant sweatshirt you're wearing right now?
00:00:06.400
They're so comfortable, especially in a studio like this when it's like 12 degrees usually.
00:00:11.560
Yeah, well, you're a little late today, so the temperature's going down.
00:00:20.520
And they are unlike the Fetterman, which looks like dump on you.
00:00:24.820
These are the kinds of sweatshirts that are, you know, back in the 1960s and the 1970s, you would buy from, like, Champion.
00:00:34.100
They're making them all over in China or wherever, and they suck.
00:00:38.500
They had to, American Giant had to bring these machines back, I think, from Japan, train Americans how to use them again, and make these great, great sweatshirts.
00:00:52.420
This same sweatshirt, it'll be the last 20 years, it'll be comfortable in 20 years.
00:00:56.120
People used to wear their dad's college sweatshirts or whatever.
00:01:13.320
You can find all your clothes, all made here in America, from American-Giant.com slash Glenn.
00:01:58.160
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:11.480
I don't know if you watched the debate last night, but that's what I get paid to do.
00:02:18.800
My gosh, it was the worst debate I have heard in my lifetime.
00:02:23.440
In my lifetime, I've never seen a worse debate than that one.
00:02:28.860
I tweeted right after, the only winner was Donald Trump, because he didn't have, he wasn't, what?
00:02:45.760
Mr. I've been doing nothing but shilling for Donald Trump!
00:02:52.120
Yeah, okay, thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
00:02:55.420
So, anyway, he's the only one that didn't have any stink on him.
00:02:58.820
However, I think that DeSantis probably walked away with, you know, the least amount of stink on him.
00:03:11.940
Oh, I, Mr. I love Ron DeSantis Monius over here!
00:03:20.560
Okay, okay, all right, thank you very much for your phone call.
00:03:24.420
And then, and then you had Tim Scott and Nikki Haley that, you know, did fairly...
00:03:35.140
We're gonna try to speak to you like an adult here and give you the real analysis coming up in just a second.
00:03:41.800
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor Sleep.
00:03:49.420
Mr. Relief Factor, Mr., Mr., all you do is talk about how you got back pain.
00:03:57.040
Well, I'll tell you what, you've got no solutions for it.
00:04:32.800
It's all natural, so you're not going to feel it in your system.
00:04:39.420
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF, or go to relieffactor.com.
00:04:52.040
Oh, as we say, primary season is the dumbest season.
00:04:57.120
Everyone thinks everything you say is some secret signal against whoever you want to vote for.
00:05:04.800
Can I tell you, if you went to, like, I don't know, maybe if you had to debate your way in
00:05:15.340
to be homecoming king and queen and prince and princess at, like, let's say, Beverly Hills High,
00:05:24.500
I think that's kind of the debate that I saw last night.
00:05:28.740
A bunch of privileged people on the stage, all yelling, all talking over each other, not stopping, no reason,
00:05:38.060
all looking at, like, one of the journalists at the same time, just talking.
00:05:49.880
My gosh, it was such a waste of time and such an insult.
00:06:01.880
And I'm doing a TV show tonight you don't want to miss.
00:06:05.160
We're going to be talking about, I think Fox is dead.
00:06:15.120
GOP is the one that picked Fox and Univision to host that thing.
00:06:26.740
Do you know how many people watch Fox Business News?
00:06:30.820
And many of them are on the second floor of the Fox building.
00:06:40.140
I mean, I understand NBC Univision because it's the same crap.
00:06:47.040
They lost control of that debate within 10 minutes.
00:06:51.500
I mean, I guess the theory here is that they don't want to give debates to MSNBC and CNN.
00:07:03.400
Maybe you give it to the Blaze Daily Wire and we do it together.
00:07:10.680
Instead, they're like, well, the only ones who don't totally hate us are Fox and Fox Business.
00:07:15.640
So let's go there over and over and over again.
00:07:21.700
I think she, I don't think it was necessarily the moderators.
00:07:27.280
Because it was, like, let's, at some point, we are conservatives here, right?
00:07:32.880
Maybe we should blame the people for their actions.
00:07:35.340
And the people on stage all made the same decision that I wasn't aggressive enough.
00:07:54.380
The primary guy sees that Vivek is getting a compliment.
00:08:02.260
I thought DeSantis was more aggressive, but generally speaking, kept within the lines.
00:08:08.920
I think that's why I said he, out of all that appeared, and the only reason why the big winner
00:08:14.060
was Donald Trump last night, was because he didn't have any of the stink on him.
00:08:19.780
If he would have been there, it would have been worse.
00:08:27.960
And that thing devolved into a 12-year-old food fight.
00:08:39.920
There was one time, I think all seven of them were talking.
00:08:49.240
This is the lowest low I think we've ever hit in politics.
00:09:06.180
Like, Tim Scott, the criticism of him in debate number one is he basically didn't say anything.
00:09:12.000
So, right out the gate, Tim Scott, every single question, jumping in, raising his hand, saying,
00:09:17.260
I understand he's trying to solve a specific problem.
00:09:19.860
He's not going to win the presidency if he doesn't solve it.
00:09:28.900
Every time the camera went to him, it was like, oh, my gosh.
00:09:35.000
He doesn't, he is, he's like an avatar or a cartoon.
00:09:48.300
Slide into him from Chris Christie or something.
00:09:52.380
That's the biggest Chris Christie compliment I think ever, his appearance has ever received.
00:09:59.600
Honestly, like, look, policy-wise is another story.
00:10:03.680
As far as the actual debate goes, and he was, I don't even think he was near the bottom
00:10:09.980
Like, at least he would say things that were kind of coherent, and he wasn't always talking
00:10:16.900
I mean, I'm just saying, as far as in the debate rules, he has really bad planned one-liners
00:10:28.500
I want to look at that camera right now and tell you, Donald, I know you're watching.
00:10:34.860
And you're not here tonight, not because of polls, and not because of your indictments.
00:10:39.980
You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on this stage and defending your record.
00:10:48.480
You keep doing that, no one up here is going to call you Donald Trump anymore.
00:11:01.940
That was like the same way Chris Christie felt going to ask a girl to a prom is how he felt right there.
00:11:12.300
You know, if he wasn't Chris Christie, he didn't have the corruption thing, which might work for him now.
00:11:21.280
If he had completely different policies, he could have cut through last night because he can command the stage.
00:11:30.980
Look, again, now I'm going to be, oh, you love Chris Christie.
00:11:37.740
I mean, again, that was a horrible and everything.
00:11:42.020
And leading up to it, like that line is so bad at the at the end of it.
00:11:49.840
Like, I think criticizing Donald Trump for not being there is totally fair.
00:11:53.680
Now, if I said this last night because I was thinking of you, Glenn Beck runs for president.
00:11:58.820
I'm in a position where I would be the guy behind the stage and you're up by 40 points.
00:12:04.940
And I and you go, what should we do with this debate?
00:12:13.380
That is the whole way I would talk to you about it as your advisor.
00:12:16.760
And if I were advisor for Donald Trump and he was up like that, I'd be saying the same thing.
00:12:22.520
I have questions for Donald Trump, but and I think they should be heard in a debate.
00:12:35.960
I'd say, you know, and that's probably the story for the first two debates.
00:12:38.800
Like every day that passes in a race where the gap is 40 points, that there isn't a breakout performance is a win for Donald Trump.
00:12:49.600
So he doesn't need his own breakout performance.
00:12:52.600
He doesn't need to knock down Vivek Ramaswamy or Ronda Sanders or Nikki Haley.
00:12:59.800
So totally understand it from his perspective when you're talking about winning.
00:13:15.740
And the manager offered to let him sit and just sit it out.
00:13:24.720
Instead, he played, and he went, I think, 3-4-5, and he wound up hitting 4-0-3.
00:13:33.160
But all you need is three rounds and five, and you're—
00:13:36.340
No, you're making—your points are going to be good on this, but I'm just going to
00:13:44.860
But the point is, like, what we—you know, if you look at Donald Trump, what do Republican
00:13:55.880
This is him being like, well, it's smart for me to avoid the fight.
00:13:58.780
And I would like him to be there, and I think it was fair for both DeSantis and Christie to
00:14:10.340
And I think DeSantis, the way he did it, I thought was good.
00:14:16.660
It wasn't—Trump is the worst guy in the world.
00:14:19.020
But, hey, you know, like, if he wants your votes, he should show up to these things.
00:14:24.500
I don't know that—I wouldn't listen to it if I was Trump's advisor.
00:14:27.200
If Donald Trump would have been there last night, everyone would have, in the press,
00:14:35.560
It shows you don't need Donald Trump for the chaos.
00:14:46.680
They're all saying, look, we're down by 40 and 50 points.
00:14:51.120
I mean, people were talking about how well Nikki Haley did last time.
00:14:55.820
You know, like, this is the game that's being played here.
00:14:59.400
They're all getting an increasing amount of desperation.
00:15:04.660
And so they all decided, at the same time, what I need to do is just talk through the moderators.
00:15:12.580
We've seen Newt Gingrich do it successfully in previous campaigns.
00:15:17.520
They all made the same decision on the same day.
00:15:20.480
And I feel bad for Ramaswamy because he's the only guy that went the other way.
00:15:26.040
He was the only guy that said, I mean, and Scott smashed him on it.
00:15:31.540
I mean, just, and it was a great moment for Scott.
00:15:36.260
When Ramaswamy said, look, we're all decent people here.
00:15:42.100
And he tried to offer a fig leaf to everybody or an olive branch.
00:15:52.560
And they said, fig leaf, like they were all naked.
00:16:03.400
So he tries to be kind and reverse because he was too hostile.
00:16:11.680
So he learns his lesson and he decides, you know what?
00:16:19.460
Scott said, you know, you called us all bought and paid for last time, which I, by the way,
00:16:30.160
I thought it was a bad moment for Vivek last time.
00:16:32.960
And I thought Scott was fair to hit him on that because it was kind of like a blatant
00:16:39.120
Like it did seem like he was another person, but he was more Vivek, I thought.
00:16:43.400
That's how Vivek has been in interviews with us.
00:16:51.760
When we have a conversation about the things that are happening on this stage, we think
00:16:54.880
about the fact that Vivek just said we were all good people.
00:16:57.440
And I appreciate that because last debate, he said we were all bought and paid for.
00:17:01.720
And I thought about that for a little while and said, you know, I can't imagine how you
00:17:06.300
could say that knowing that you were just in business with the Chinese Communist Party
00:17:11.820
and the same people that funded Hunter Biden millions of dollars was a partner of yours
00:17:22.440
These, these are good people who are tainted by a broken system.
00:17:26.400
And it's not the fault of anybody who's involved.
00:17:37.000
You know, someone, someone tweeted this, Glenn.
00:17:38.320
I was thinking of you because you were one of the first people who really started doing
00:17:43.140
But like, isn't the debate format basically dead?
00:17:47.280
And shouldn't we look more at like the long term pod, long form podcast format for, for
00:17:53.560
Like, wouldn't it be much more interesting to have a few of these guys, maybe two at a time
00:17:57.980
talking about a specific issue in an hour long format with someone who's conservative
00:18:03.100
and knows the issue well from a conservative perspective?
00:18:05.700
Wouldn't we learn so much more from that about these guys?
00:18:09.260
Because you still have to be quick on your feet, but you actually have time to be able
00:18:13.660
to lay out your ideas and show how much knowledge you have about these things.
00:18:23.240
No, but you just did one with Ron DeSantis last week.
00:18:25.700
A lengthy interview, what an hour, where you were able to go through all these things.
00:18:30.620
And like, that, you get so much more out of that than this nonsense.
00:18:35.120
Oh, I got more out of an interview with all of them.
00:18:39.020
I've done all of them except the Muppet at the end of the stage.
00:18:48.220
How would you do, Doug, would you get on that Bergamantum train?
00:18:57.960
And I've done interviews, hour-long interviews with Donald Trump, but not since he was, you
00:19:07.340
I got more out of what the Blaze did when we just talked to them for about, what, 30
00:19:13.260
or 40 minutes, one at a time, one right after another.
00:19:16.940
Now it takes some commitment for you, because it took all day.
00:19:24.040
And they just, they either hung themselves or not.
00:19:29.100
You didn't see Asa Hutchinson on that stage, did you?
00:19:31.400
And there's a good, part of that is because of the way he played to the audience in Iowa.
00:19:35.980
I didn't learn a single thing last night, not one, except our republic is just out of
00:19:43.840
Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.
00:19:46.480
American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:19:52.720
So if you're like most Americans, by the time you pay your bills, refuel your car, buy groceries,
00:19:59.200
How often do you find yourself using the credit card to cover essential expenses?
00:20:03.520
The average credit card interest rate is 25%, and that makes your debt even more expensive.
00:20:11.520
If you're a homeowner, there is a better way, and I would suggest you call American Financing.
00:20:19.020
They're helping people just like you get out from underneath that debt burden and start
00:20:28.700
Well, that's what they're helping the average customer to save, $700 a month.
00:20:34.260
Now, you're taking your credit card debt from 25% down to, what, 6%, 7%?
00:20:43.360
All of your interest for your mortgage is tax deductible, so that stretches the savings out
00:20:50.100
You won't know what you're doing unless you call them.
00:20:57.880
They're salary-based consultants, so they're not getting rich off of selling you into something.
00:21:05.000
American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
00:21:31.620
The government will shut down if Congress does not reach a deal by the end of this week.
00:21:37.220
Vice President Pence warns that politics of, quote, Trump's populist prodigies, like Mr.
00:21:48.800
If the government shuts down, should voters blame populist Republicans?
00:21:55.720
One of my favorite parts of this debate was all of these candidates and their focused stare
00:22:03.600
to try to understand the question she was asking, because you could tell if they really
00:22:08.120
focused, they could pick out the words, but look, let's be honest, it was hard to understand
00:22:13.200
Yeah, and it's like, she's trying, she can speak English, she just got a really heavy
00:22:19.340
I mean, DeSantis looked like he was in a, like a stare to save his life.
00:22:25.140
To try to understand the question that was being asked.
00:22:31.820
Christie, he was like, they're all leaning over as if that was going to make them here.
00:22:35.340
Like, I cannot misunderstand your question, or I will be called a hateful racist.
00:22:47.320
And I have a challenge to Kevin McCarthy based on this answer.
00:22:58.020
So Patricia writes in, she's from Arizona, she has two dogs.
00:23:01.020
One of the, one of those people who understood the need for good dietary supplements for years.
00:23:12.060
Until a few months ago, she was feeding them each three separate supplements every day, and
00:23:18.800
Then she heard me talking about rough greens on this program.
00:23:26.760
Now her dogs are happy and healthy, and she's saving money by getting everything they need
00:23:35.440
Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is the one who came up with this.
00:23:42.840
You want something that is green if you want something healthy for your dog.
00:23:46.560
The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it.
00:24:02.460
Sprinkle it on your dog's food and watch the difference.
00:24:14.560
A new Glenn TV tonight, right after New Studios America.
00:24:31.060
So here's Chris Christie on the shutdown of the government.
00:24:37.260
Voters have laid everybody who's in Washington, D.C.
00:24:42.420
and they've been failing at doing the job for a very long time.
00:24:45.720
And let's be honest about this with the voters.
00:24:54.920
And now the Biden administration has put another $5 trillion on and counting.
00:24:59.560
They have failed, and they're in the spot they're in now
00:25:01.860
because none of them are willing to tell the truth.
00:25:04.300
None of them are willing to take on the difficult issues.
00:25:06.420
They just want to keep kicking the can down the road.
00:25:09.060
And the inflation that Nikki spoke about is absolutely right,
00:25:14.360
And that's why people all across this country are suffering tonight.
00:25:18.620
And yet we don't get any answers because Joe Biden hides in his basement
00:25:23.140
and won't answer as to why he's raising the debt the way he's done.
00:25:26.720
And Donald Trump hides behind the walls of his golf clubs
00:25:30.080
and won't show up here to answer questions like all the rest of us are up here to answer.
00:25:36.960
He should be in this room to answer those questions
00:25:39.900
for the people you talk about who are suffering.
00:25:42.100
And if the government closes, it is to the blame of everyone in Washington, D.C.
00:25:51.540
who has failed to do their job and just plays to the grandstand.
00:25:55.240
I have to tell you, Ron DeSantis responded to this
00:25:58.380
by saying exactly the same thing I was screaming at my television,
00:26:02.900
and that is they are doing their job by shutting down the government
00:26:17.000
All you were doing was blaming everybody for it with no solution
00:26:29.180
And by the way, I would love for people to echo this question
00:26:38.400
and demand that Kevin McCarthy answers the question,
00:26:45.280
where do you stand on the Schumer-McConnell continuing resolution?
00:27:00.600
Because Americans deserve to know where the Speaker of the House is.
00:27:19.300
the only ones that actually care about the spending
00:27:46.100
and they're crying that they can't make it for, what, a week, two weeks?
00:28:11.680
And when they come back, they should all wear masks.
00:28:15.720
but I think they should all wear masks when they come back.
00:28:26.360
But then Pence coming in and criticizing DeSantis on his spending,
00:28:35.000
Your congressional record at this point means very little, frankly.
00:28:38.260
You were vice president of the United States for four years.
00:28:42.340
they added something like $7 trillion to the debt
00:28:46.460
You don't get to criticize other people on spending after that.
00:28:52.380
the economic record of Trump-Pence in many ways was strong,
00:28:56.460
but at no point did they prioritize cutting spending.
00:29:01.100
Because Donald Trump honestly doesn't have a problem with debt.
00:29:05.460
And the reason why he doesn't have a problem with debt is
00:29:16.800
you don't worry about that house that everybody says,
00:29:20.420
you shouldn't buy that house, you can't afford that house.
