Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:08.440 You'll be very happy to hear that Chelsea Handler does not think about having that baby.
00:00:15.420 Chelsea Handler is not a mom and apparently is very excited about that fact.
00:00:22.480 She had two abortions many years ago and she never thinks,
00:00:27.780 God, I wish I had that baby.
00:00:31.000 Now you may be with me and the rest of America and thinking that you also are happy
00:00:37.800 that she is not around any children.
00:00:40.560 And that would be an understandable instinct.
00:00:44.280 However, that's not where I want to take this today.
00:00:46.860 I would rather go to the idea that, you know, we're in a world where
00:00:52.560 there's a lot of important decisions about to be made.
00:00:55.880 We have a Supreme Court opening.
00:00:58.420 July 9th is the day, which is a week from today.
00:01:03.480 You can't release big news like that on July 4th week.
00:01:07.260 Everyone's on vacation.
00:01:08.900 The justice will be named on July 9th.
00:01:11.040 And it will be a big decision because we are looking at potentially the future of many huge cases.
00:01:22.240 And I know that that has certainly been covered.
00:01:26.820 With Chelsea Handler, I think you have a situation where she's saying,
00:01:32.620 God, I never think, God, I wish I had that baby.
00:01:36.500 You know, the sad thing there is, and she had two abortions in a year.
00:01:39.980 And the sad thing is, you know, the baby doesn't really get a chance to decide that one for themselves.
00:01:46.400 Wouldn't have minded them weighing in on that one.
00:01:48.960 But they don't get that chance.
00:01:51.120 And it's sort of part of this left-wing fear-mongering about what's going to happen with this court going forward.
00:01:57.240 Now, first of all, there's a lot of steps to go through before you get to a Roe vs. Wade being overturned.
00:02:07.720 There's a long distance from here to there.
00:02:10.980 The map, there's not a straight line there.
00:02:12.840 You're going to need massive GPS to find it.
00:02:15.300 It's going to be hard.
00:02:16.340 I mean, the reason why Roe vs. Wade wasn't overturned before is because Ronald Reagan picked a justice that didn't go the right way on it.
00:02:22.840 That's how hard this is to do.
00:02:24.000 Once you get Roe vs. Wade overturned, what happens?
00:02:27.800 Well, some states will probably ban abortion.
00:02:30.720 However, it will not be the majority of states, most likely.
00:02:34.100 And it will still leave abortion legal in the majority of states, which, with a little travel, anyone can get one.
00:02:45.120 We're getting massive fear-mongering, however, from the left.
00:02:48.020 Jeffrey Toobin has really lost it on this one.
00:02:50.740 He's on CNN all the time.
00:02:51.860 He writes that there will be massive problems here.
00:02:57.460 It will overrule, if the court goes to the conservative direction here that we expect,
00:03:01.160 it will overrule Roe vs. Wade, allowing states to ban abortions and to criminally prosecute any physicians and nurses who perform them.
00:03:07.740 It will allow shopkeepers, restaurateurs, and hotel owners to refuse service to gay customers on religious grounds.
00:03:15.320 It will guarantee that fewer African American and Latino students attend elite universities.
00:03:20.520 Think of the way you have to spin these things to make them sound this way.
00:03:23.740 I mean, yes, banning abortion could be an outcome in some states.
00:03:30.340 It will still be legal in other states, unless we get some constitutional amendment.
00:03:35.040 Not to mention, even if we got a constitutional amendment, it would be legal in many other places.
00:03:40.060 Beyond that, you have...
00:03:40.740 It will allow shopkeepers, restaurateurs, and hotel owners to refuse service to gay customers on religious grounds.
00:03:48.340 There is no evidence to support that.
00:03:51.380 We all know what the Masterpiece Cake Shop case was about.
00:03:54.640 And it was not about just saying no to gay customers because they walk in.
00:03:59.180 It will guarantee that fewer African American and Latino students attend elite universities.
00:04:04.740 Well, that's, you know, you're talking about affirmative action there.
00:04:07.800 Which is a law to put people into college based on the color of their skin.
00:04:14.340 How can anyone defend that?
00:04:17.100 I mean, think about that with another color.
00:04:19.220 Think of how indefensible it would be if you said,
00:04:21.500 Oh, you know what, we're going to make laws that make more white students go,
00:04:25.200 even if they don't deserve it.
00:04:26.300 You may think that that's coming, but it's certainly not part of the law.
00:04:30.760 Not to mention, ask Asian Americans how they feel about that particular concept.
00:04:36.800 Because they have been, and this just came out, I think, last week,
00:04:42.100 in which Asian students should be 43% of the student base at Harvard.
00:04:48.240 And instead, they are 15%.
00:04:50.000 Because of affirmative action.
00:04:52.720 They don't want to have too many Asians.
00:04:54.520 But that's apparently okay.
00:04:58.720 It will also mean the Second Amendment will prohibit states from engaging in gun control.
00:05:03.980 Including the regulation of machine guns and bump stocks.
00:05:07.600 Really?
00:05:08.160 All of this is going to happen.
00:05:10.420 All of this is going to happen at any moment.
00:05:12.680 And I think we've lost sight as to what the world actually thinks about abortion.
00:05:20.080 We get this idea from our media that everywhere else in the world,
00:05:25.480 this is an obvious thing.
00:05:27.260 That women should be able to walk into any equivalent of 7-Eleven
00:05:31.480 and have an abortion on demand.
00:05:33.540 And that is not at all how the world looks at this.
00:05:38.140 Now, in America, where they say that we are too restrictive on abortion,
00:05:46.560 we have unlimited access to abortion pretty much at any time
00:05:53.800 in Washington, New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Washington, D.C.
00:06:00.320 Pretty much free fall.
00:06:01.900 There's really no restrictions on it.
00:06:03.820 Now, the other 43 states restrict abortion after a certain point in pregnancy.
00:06:10.080 Which, the left seems to think, is completely oppressive to women.
00:06:15.020 Three states, Virginia, South Carolina, and Iowa, prohibit abortion after the 28th week.
00:06:19.980 Think about the oppression there.
00:06:22.060 Think about it.
00:06:23.400 You've only got 7 months to figure out what to do?
00:06:27.560 That is, wow, incredibly restrictive, guys.
00:06:31.700 I mean, now, it gets worse.
00:06:35.740 20 different states prohibit abortion at the point of viability,
00:06:39.920 which is around the 24th week.
00:06:41.400 Six months?
00:06:43.080 Six months does not seem long enough to figure out how to pull the trigger on that pregnancy
00:06:48.160 in almost a literal sense.
00:06:51.120 11 states prohibit abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy.
00:06:55.600 And as a blanket rule, abortions are legal in every single state
00:06:58.700 before a pregnancy has reached its 20th week.
00:07:00.680 Again, we're talking about five months here.
00:07:03.980 Five months.
00:07:07.800 I know that's really oppressive.
00:07:10.420 And it may seem incredibly oppressive to you.
00:07:14.100 But a lot of pro-choice people actually think that women in America
00:07:17.820 are shackled with, you know, reproductive slavery.
00:07:21.300 So let's look around the world for a second here.
00:07:27.280 Because we're seeing, we're told that this is such a backwards hellhole
00:07:31.580 when it comes to women's rights.
00:07:33.420 Now, you can find your abortion paradise in a place like China,
00:07:37.600 where abortion is not only legal at any point in the pregnancy,
00:07:40.600 but is also encouraged and quite frequently required.
00:07:43.260 A lot of times there's a little enforcing that one against your will.
00:07:48.560 But no one's going to hold China up as an example.
00:07:51.320 So let's look to Europe.
00:07:53.120 Abortion is legal in England up to 24 weeks.
00:07:55.880 But there is no time limit if there is substantial risk to the women's life
00:07:59.320 or massive problems with the pregnancy.
00:08:02.040 Netherlands mandates a five-day waiting period
00:08:04.480 between the initial consultation and the abortion.
00:08:06.640 That means England and the Netherlands are more restrictive than 10 states in America.
00:08:27.280 Socialist Sweden allows abortions until the 18th week of pregnancy
00:08:31.920 and bans most after the 22nd week.
00:08:34.120 In the four-week gray period, a woman can get an abortion
00:08:37.660 only if it's approved by the National Board of Health and Welfare.
00:08:43.400 Can you imagine demanding women go to a National Board of Health and Welfare
00:08:47.040 to get their abortion approved?
00:08:48.660 In Spain, abortion is legal in the first 14 weeks of a woman's pregnancy,
00:08:52.420 but allows abortion up to 22 weeks in cases of fetal deformities.
00:08:56.940 In Denmark, abortion is available on demand up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
00:09:02.400 Much more restrictive than us.
00:09:05.160 Afterward, exceptions are made for cases of rape,
00:09:07.760 threats to the woman's physical or mental health,
00:09:09.900 risk of fetal defects,
00:09:11.680 and cases where the woman can demonstrate a lack of financial resources
00:09:15.540 to care for the child.
00:09:16.740 Can you imagine, in America, asking a woman to say,
00:09:19.560 oh, prove that you're too poor for this kid to the government?
00:09:23.840 Can you imagine how the left would react to that?
00:09:25.400 In Germany, abortions after the 12th week are completely banned
00:09:30.120 except in cases of serious threat to the mother's physical or mental health.
00:09:35.040 Women who want a first-trimester abortion.
00:09:37.820 A first-trimester abortion.
00:09:40.360 That's the thing that Roe v. Wade guaranteed you'd have access to.
00:09:44.180 They are subject to a mandatory three-day waiting period
00:09:48.180 and a counseling session.
00:09:51.460 That means that Germany, Germany,
00:09:54.700 is more restrictive than almost all of the United States,
00:09:58.200 including Utah.
00:10:02.060 Abortion in Belgium is legal until 12 weeks after conception
00:10:06.220 and is required for women to have six days of counseling
00:10:09.960 prior to the abortion.
00:10:11.540 God made the universe in six days.
00:10:16.480 It's a long time.
00:10:18.820 In fashion-forward France,
00:10:21.360 abortion is also legal only up to 12 weeks.
00:10:25.500 In Finland, abortion is available up to 12 weeks of pregnancy
00:10:28.700 if a woman can provide a social reason
00:10:32.660 for seeking to terminate her pregnancy,
00:10:34.660 such as poverty, extreme distress,
00:10:37.160 or already having at least four children.
00:10:39.700 Which, if you're a fifth child right now,
00:10:41.540 you realize it really sucks.
00:10:43.160 Like, ah, you can't really deal with a fifth one.
00:10:45.620 In Italy, a woman has 90 days from the date of conception
00:10:48.420 to request, request, request an abortion.
00:10:52.760 Under the law, the termination must be due to health,
00:10:55.420 economic, social, or family reasons.
00:10:57.840 In Switzerland, abortion is legal up to 12 weeks.
00:11:00.160 If, if, if, if a woman files a written request stating that she is in a situation of distress,
00:11:07.540 then the doctor has to give her a comprehensive information about the procedure,
00:11:11.940 then the doctor has to discuss the decision with her in detail,
00:11:15.500 then the doctor has to give her an information sheet with the addresses of counseling services,
00:11:20.320 where she can get moral and material help and be informed about adoption.
00:11:26.760 Switzerland.
00:11:28.200 In Portugal, a woman can only get an abortion up to the 10th week after a mandated three-day waiting period.
00:11:36.040 Abortion is illegal in Poland, except for cases of rape, fetal malformation,
00:11:40.180 or serious threats to the woman's health.
00:11:42.500 Andorra allows abortion only in cases where it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman.
00:11:48.660 And, uh, abortion is entirely prohibited in Malta.
00:11:52.820 Do not go to Malta for your abortion.
00:11:56.100 Or Liechtenstein also bans it as well.
00:11:59.060 How many states in America have banned abortion entirely?
00:12:01.800 If I remember correctly, the answer to that is zero.
00:12:04.140 We act as if the rest of the world has embraced this,
00:12:10.300 where we really are on the other side of it.
00:12:13.820 The most abortion-friendly countries in Europe are more strict than almost all of America.
00:12:19.180 The most restrictive countries in Europe are tougher on abortion than all, all of America.
00:12:25.880 And Europe is supposed to be more enlightened than the United States.
00:12:29.260 We're told that over and over and over again.
00:12:30.980 And maybe the truth is, for this particular topic, they actually are.
00:12:37.820 Glenn Beck.
00:12:38.980 It's Stu in for Glenn Beck, who's on vacation, I mean, on the day where Dunkin' Donuts has talked about releasing donut fries.
00:12:46.900 So, I mean, he's always out when the big stories happen.
00:12:48.980 But hopefully he'll be back next week and he can taste test them for you.
00:12:54.240 Susan Collins was on CNN.
00:12:56.100 And if you think Roe vs. Wade is getting overturned and a justice is going to skate through,
00:13:02.880 Susan Collins has got a lot to say about that.
00:13:05.560 Collins and Murkowski are two pro-choice Republicans.
00:13:09.520 And that word, if you couldn't hear it through the radio, had massive air quotes all over it.
00:13:14.520 About 65 pairs of air quotes around the term Republican when I talked about Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
00:13:22.040 However, she was on CNN to talk about whether she will vote for a Supreme Court justice that may overturn Roe vs. Wade.
00:13:31.820 Listen.
00:13:31.980 There's a big difference between overturning some precedents, such as Plessy v. Ferguson, which was overturned in the school desegregation case of Brown v.
00:13:45.440 versus the Board of Education, versus overturning a ruling that has been settled law for 46 years, 45 years.
00:13:56.960 And it involves a constitutional right and has been reaffirmed by the court 26 years ago.
00:14:06.160 Indeed, Justice Roberts has made very clear that he considers Roe v. Wade to be settled law.
00:14:16.380 I would not support a nominee who demonstrated hostility to Roe v. Wade because that would mean to me that their judicial philosophy did not include a respect for established decisions, established law.
00:14:35.100 This line of thinking is insane to me.
00:14:39.840 I mean, their job is to go in there and examine the laws as it relates to the Constitution.
00:14:43.740 Of course you should overturn laws that are unconstitutional.
00:14:46.220 Of course you should.
00:14:47.540 Of course you should.
00:14:48.640 That is your job.
00:14:52.100 You know, I mean, there is this bizarre argument that Roe v. Wade has some sort of immunity against, as opposed to every other case.
00:15:00.220 Every liberal in the world will tell you, you've got to overturn Citizens United, which is the case that allowed people to spend money on their, with their own, you know, with their own political opinions.
00:15:10.740 The exact thing the First Amendment was designed to protect.
00:15:16.700 I've got to overturn that next week.
00:15:18.420 But Roe v. Wade is a settled law.
00:15:22.620 It's settled law.
00:15:25.300 There's this argument that goes back and forth between the left and the right, where the left says, yeah, there's a living Constitution.
00:15:32.220 And the right says, well, I'm an originalist.
00:15:34.320 I'm a textualist.
00:15:35.480 I want to look at what was there in the documents.
00:15:38.140 And sometimes there are arguments that are passionate on both sides.
00:15:43.800 But one is right, and the other one's really dumb.
00:15:49.580 That's where we find ourselves with the Supreme Court.
00:15:52.840 One side is saying, hey, you know how it's our job to protect the Constitution and make sure the things that go on in this country are constitutional?
00:16:03.320 I say we do that by looking at the document and doing the things it says inside of it.
00:16:13.120 Look at the words.
00:16:14.820 Read the words and have that inform what we do.
00:16:21.540 And the other side saying, you know, I don't like that law all that much.
00:16:25.840 Let's change it.
00:16:26.900 Or I wish the law said this, so let's put it in there.
00:16:31.000 Or, you know, that one makes me feel bad.
00:16:35.000 Let's show some empathy and change the thing around.
00:16:39.540 Or, you know, if I were to design a society, it would be more like this country or that country.
00:16:46.460 Let's do that here by edict.
00:16:50.400 That is not the way the Supreme Court is supposed to react.
00:16:55.040 It's not the way they're supposed to operate.
00:16:57.120 You know, Susan Collins, it's hard to tell.
00:17:02.040 There's a split here between people who say, look, she voted for Gorsuch.
00:17:07.860 She's just, she's giving lip service here to the idea that she would oppose a Trump nominee because of her Roe versus Wade stance.
00:17:18.900 And when it comes down to it, she's going to be fine.
00:17:20.960 She's going to vote for it.
00:17:21.620 They need these votes.
00:17:22.560 They need pretty much every one of them.
00:17:23.780 So, someone like Susan Collins can probably go a long way in stopping this.
00:17:30.920 There's going to be a lot of pressure on red state Democrats to vote for this nominee.
00:17:34.340 It's going to be very difficult.
00:17:35.660 But I would not be surprised if none of them come along.
00:17:40.040 The Democrats tend to be able to keep their flock in one straight line.
00:17:43.480 The other thought here is she's saying, you know, maybe she's just saying, I'm not going to vote for someone who comes in here and outwardly opposes abortion.
00:17:54.820 I mean, there's really not a lot of examples of this.
00:17:57.680 There's a couple justices on the list that have spoken outwardly about how they would rule on that case or have, you know, given opinions on this.
00:18:07.620 You know, one of the speculations is Mike Lee might be off the board because Lee has obviously spoken.
00:18:13.180 He did so on the other on the show the other day about what a poor legal decision Roe versus Wade was.
00:18:20.040 Will she vote for someone who has been that outspoken about their opposition to Roe versus Wade?
00:18:27.500 And that's a question that's open.
00:18:31.400 The other thought is she's going to oppose anyone because she does not want Roe versus Wade to be overturned.
00:18:40.560 So unless she really believes it's not going to be overturned, she's going to vote against them and it's going to make it almost impossible to get somebody through.
00:18:46.240 That being said, the map sets up very nicely for Republicans in the Senate in November.
00:18:51.160 So it may not be an issue.
00:18:53.320 We'll have more on this coming up.
00:18:54.240 It's Stu in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:57.500 It's Stu in for Glenn Beck here on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:04.040 He's on vacation this week.
00:19:05.520 We have Pat and Stu reunion tour coming up tomorrow as well as Thursday.
00:19:11.020 Pat Gray will be hosting on Friday.
00:19:12.700 Good week of shows this week for you.
00:19:15.020 And then Glenn returns on Monday.
00:19:17.260 If you think the Supreme Court isn't that big of a deal, you may remember the horrible decision made by Chief Justice John Roberts on not well,
00:19:26.640 and really not once, but twice on Obamacare, leaving Obamacare in place.
00:19:30.900 And we're getting updates now on how that's going for everybody, which is really good.
00:19:36.260 If you're going to, if you're one of these people who was skeptical on Obama, maybe you thought you weren't going to keep your doctor.
00:19:44.200 Or are you going to be surprised?
00:19:45.600 Because this is going really well.
00:19:47.960 In 2009, the Obama administration authorized $30 billion in financial incentives to encourage the adoption of electronic health records and everything from large teaching hospitals to solo practices.
00:19:59.460 Due to the administrative requirements, 40% of the providers who participated were penalized in 2016 for failing to hit the meaningful use targets.
00:20:11.740 The administrative requirements were such a nightmare.
00:20:15.180 Congress created a mass escape hatch in 2017.
00:20:19.840 It's according to The Hill.
00:20:21.800 Electronic data security has turned out to be another lie.
00:20:25.160 A 2017 Accenture survey estimated that 26% of all Americans had their personal medical data stolen from electronic medical record systems.
00:20:38.520 Half of those people, half of those people, ended up as victims of medical identity theft.
00:20:45.860 On average, victims suffered a $2,500 loss in each incident.
00:20:51.920 Now, I do remember the Obama administration telling us that we were going to save $2,500 when Obamacare was passed.
00:21:00.260 Is it possible they just wanted to save us from the burden of having to spend that $2,500?
00:21:05.320 Is that possible?
00:21:07.160 I think we should at least entertain the possibility.
00:21:10.360 But I mean, $2,500 per incident and half of the people, that's what, 13% of Americans?
00:21:16.140 In 2015, more than 100 million patient records were stolen.
00:21:22.280 But this is where it gets really good.
00:21:24.480 If you thought, I mean, those are mistakes, right?
00:21:27.280 You have a new program, you want everyone to participate in it, and 40% blow it and you have to pass an escape hatch.
00:21:34.340 Okay, there's a little problem there.
00:21:36.300 Sure, 26% of all Americans had their medical information stolen, and half of those had identity theft issues that suffered an average of $2,500 per incident.
00:21:50.860 Sure, but those are mistakes.
00:21:53.440 Here's the design of Obamacare, and this is where it gets really good.
00:21:57.620 When the Obama administration restructured private individual insurance, it created bloated policies that people were not voluntarily purchasing.
00:22:06.880 So you're forcing people to buy these things they don't want.
00:22:10.320 To me, completely unconstitutional.
00:22:12.440 For some reason, John Roberts disagreeing with that one.
00:22:16.120 Not counting the money spent on state and federal exchanges,
00:22:19.360 the federal government spent $341 billion from 2014 through 2016 on subsidizing individual coverage so that people would buy it.
00:22:29.900 So again, you create this really crappy product that people don't want to buy.
00:22:33.560 You force them legally to make them buy it.
00:22:38.000 Of course, they don't want to pay that price, or they can't afford that price.
00:22:41.780 So, you take money from evil rich people, and you give it to the insurance companies to subsidize the cost of these insurance policies.
00:22:51.380 The cost, again, $341 billion from 2014 to 2016.
00:22:55.340 All of this spending managed to increase private coverage by 1.7 million people,
00:23:01.980 slightly less than half of the natural increase in the civilian labor force.
00:23:06.260 So again, half of the natural increase was the amount of people that we actually increased coverage for in the private market.
00:23:17.560 The cost per person?
00:23:20.500 $200,000.
00:23:26.300 We insured people at a rate of $200,000 per person.
00:23:32.860 The feds could have saved money by closing the exchanges and giving people who qualified for subsidies a check for $50,000 for each of the three years.
00:23:45.220 Those people could have then spent $20,000 for their own unsubsidized policy and use the rest to either cover out-of-pocket costs or buy a nice used car.
00:24:00.300 $200,000 per person.
00:24:02.860 And this is the case over and over and over again with these bloated government policies.
00:24:10.840 And, you know, look, the point where the Supreme Court shouldn't step in and say,
00:24:16.100 hey, you know, look, this is a bad policy.
00:24:18.420 There is a policy out there.
00:24:20.220 There's plenty of them in America where we waste a bunch of taxpayer money inefficiently on programs.
00:24:26.300 That's something we do all the time.
00:24:27.760 That was different than Obamacare because Obamacare was written incorrectly.
00:24:31.660 We all know the whole tax versus fee argument.
00:24:34.400 You go back and find out how they subsidize the states.
00:24:37.600 These were all constitutional issues.
00:24:40.900 And John Roberts basically went in and was like, you know what?
00:24:42.760 I think the law should say this instead.
00:24:44.840 And then just rewrote it.
00:24:46.020 But the idea that these programs are a good idea in the first place, over and over again, we see the same scenario play out.
00:24:56.600 $200,000 per person.
00:24:58.840 You could just throw money at people, throw it at them, and save money.
00:25:05.460 You could save a lot of cash and a lot of taxpayer dollars and a lot of heartbreak.
00:25:10.060 These are bad policies.
00:25:11.280 They've hurt people.
00:25:12.000 They've had to lose their doctors.
00:25:13.260 They've lost access to the treatment they were receiving.
00:25:18.500 And all of that cost us $200,000 per person.
00:25:21.620 Insane.
00:25:23.980 I don't know who's going to be in there to overturn it.
00:25:25.920 I don't know if you had a new justice come in that was really conservative.
00:25:32.580 Would they have any chance at overturning parts of Obamacare?
00:25:35.500 I mean, perhaps.
00:25:37.300 But again, John Roberts is still there.
00:25:39.600 And he seems to be the wonderful wall.
00:25:44.420 He's the wall that we want on the border around Obamacare for some reason.
00:25:48.960 That no one seems to understand.
00:25:52.720 So I don't know who we're going to get.
00:25:54.100 A lot of people online are tossing around the name Ben Shapiro for Supreme Court justice, which I kind of like.
00:26:00.760 I mean, the guy's very smart.
00:26:03.400 Went to Harvard, right?
00:26:05.920 Harvard legal mind.
00:26:08.880 He's a little outspoken, potentially, for Susan Collins' taste, I think.
00:26:12.360 That may be a problem.
00:26:13.300 And I'm not sure the administration loves him all that much.
00:26:15.840 He went on Bill Maher this weekend to talk about civility because we're here in the era of Trump.
00:26:21.920 And as we know, everything bad that happens in the realm of incivility is Trump's fault,
00:26:28.700 including a long-term local newspaper disagreement that occurred when Donald Trump was hosting The Apprentice.
00:26:41.140 That's also Donald Trump's fault.
00:26:43.700 These things are really getting out of control.
00:26:45.200 Shapiro went on with Bill Maher to talk about it.
00:26:47.380 Can we just say incivility is bad across the board?
00:26:49.860 Yes, but you can't be a person.
00:26:51.020 Why is it that we're only opposed when you're a Democrat?
00:26:52.500 You're only opposed to incivility when it's Donald Trump.
00:26:54.480 But suddenly Maxine Waters is anti-Maxine.
00:26:57.060 Because, Ben, you can't walk into a room and see an elephant and a mouse and not know which one is bigger.
00:27:01.520 But it's not an elephant and a mouse.
00:27:02.620 It's two elephants.
00:27:03.100 But it is.
00:27:03.520 Really?
00:27:03.980 Yes.
00:27:04.740 Threatening to lock up journalists?
00:27:06.120 I needed 600 officers to protect me at Berkeley.
00:27:08.980 Yes, it's an elephant and an elephant.
00:27:10.940 Yes, it's an elephant and an elephant.
00:27:11.940 Joe Biden in 2012 says to Mitt Romney that he's going to put y'all back in chains about black people.
00:27:16.180 This stuff pre-existed Donald Trump.
00:27:17.940 But that didn't come from the president at Berkeley.
00:27:20.860 It came from the vice president when he was saying that Mitt Romney, the cleanest person ever,
00:27:24.700 was a guy who was going to put y'all back in chains.
00:27:26.900 To pretend incivility started with Donald Trump.
00:27:28.800 No, not incivility.
00:27:29.800 I'm talking about the level to which it's at, where you're threatening.
00:27:33.100 I agree with you.
00:27:33.680 Do you really think Donald Trump respects the rule of law?
00:27:36.540 I mean, if somebody like...
00:27:37.340 No, but I think the Constitution itself is a pretty damn durable document, thank God.
00:27:42.020 Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that.
00:27:44.540 It is pretty durable.
00:27:45.700 In fact, it's the most durable Constitution in the world by quite a long stretch.
00:27:51.380 This is an amazing weekend for this all to be happening, by the way.
00:27:54.380 Ben Shapiro talking about incivility.
00:27:56.100 And he's been protested, but even worse, you know, 600 officers to protect him at a speech.
00:28:01.980 And it's not just Shapiro.
00:28:04.200 It's tons of conservative speakers that go and get attacked at...
00:28:07.880 I mean, Charles Murray was attacked at a speech, you know, not what, last year?
00:28:15.000 Is that Trump's fault too?
00:28:17.000 Every conservative speaker that goes and gets hit with pies and gets screamed at until they have to leave the campus,
00:28:23.220 is that Trump's fault?
00:28:26.100 There's no reason...
00:28:27.220 Like, I don't like the stuff that Donald Trump does when it comes down...
00:28:29.720 I didn't like what he said to, you know, people in crowds and go after them and, you know...
00:28:33.320 I don't like that.
00:28:34.880 And we've talked about it many times.
00:28:36.520 But he certainly didn't start it.
00:28:38.300 And the elephant in the elephant is a much more apt description.
00:28:42.100 In fact, this weekend, as this is all going on on Bill Maher,
00:28:46.220 the co-founder of Vox Media, Joshua Topolsky,
00:28:53.440 it tweets about Ben Shapiro.
00:28:57.060 And someone tweets to him, says, you know, I guess saying because Ben Shapiro is Jewish,
00:29:02.480 he's supposed to be liberal.
00:29:03.680 I guess that's the way that's supposed to work.
00:29:05.060 I don't know if maybe anyone who happens to be Jewish can explain to me,
00:29:09.080 you know, is that in the Torah?
00:29:10.300 Where do we find that, exactly?
00:29:13.460 Ben Shapiro is the Jew who helps other Jews onto the train,
00:29:17.340 the co-founder of Vox Media wrote.
00:29:21.060 He then deleted the tweet, which tends to happen
00:29:25.940 when you accuse people of being Nazi collaborators.
00:29:29.220 However, he says he did not delete it because he's apologizing.
00:29:37.380 He says he deletes it because a mob of right-wing babies were flooding his mentions.
00:29:44.080 You see, it's the right-wing's fault.
00:29:47.760 It's got to be Donald Trump's fault
00:29:50.240 that you accused Ben Shapiro of being a Nazi sympathizer.
00:29:54.400 Again, I, you know, I never think anybody should be fired for a tweet.
00:30:01.040 So, I don't care.
00:30:02.060 You can stay there.
00:30:02.880 I mean, it tells you who Vox is.
00:30:05.260 It tells you exactly what you're dealing with,
00:30:07.640 at least with some of the people there.
00:30:08.720 I think there's, you know, some good stuff that comes out of there as well.
00:30:11.720 But, you gotta think it's limited after seeing stuff like this.
00:30:18.080 It's hard to understand.
00:30:20.040 I mean, in the middle of, we're talking about incivility, right?
00:30:24.400 Incivility.
00:30:24.860 This is a Donald Trump thing.
00:30:27.360 Incivility.
00:30:28.580 By the way, a 33-year-old California man
00:30:32.400 has been arrested on charges of trying to kill the family of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
00:30:39.860 Now, there are a lot of reasons to threaten to murder someone.
00:30:47.720 None of them good, right?
00:30:49.980 There's a thou shalt not that appears in front of the word murder over and over again in certain contexts.
00:30:58.240 And that's a good way of thinking about it.
00:31:00.320 Thou shalt not murder.
00:31:01.980 Murder.
00:31:03.860 However, if you're going to threaten someone with death,
00:31:08.980 is net neutrality really the thing that's gonna put you over the edge?
00:31:14.400 The fact that you think in the future, in theory,
00:31:18.800 your Netflix may buffer
00:31:20.600 is a reason to threaten a public official with death?
00:31:25.380 I mean, I love my Netflix.
00:31:31.980 But I think you may have lost perspective here.
00:31:36.880 Glenn Beck.
00:31:37.760 It's Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
00:31:40.780 He's away this week.
00:31:41.740 Obviously, a big holiday week.
00:31:44.000 Hope you're gonna have some good stuff planned.
00:31:46.640 You know, I feel like a lot of people don't
00:31:48.780 really respect this holiday like we do some of the other big ones.
00:31:52.060 We don't really, I don't know,
00:31:53.720 throw as big a celebration as one might expect.
00:31:57.180 Of course, I'm talking about Bobby Bonilla Day.
00:31:58.840 Uh, my, potentially my favorite American holiday,
00:32:03.360 which was yesterday.
00:32:05.140 If you don't know Bobby Bonilla and Bobby Bonilla Day,
00:32:08.240 you may not be a big sports fan,
00:32:10.780 but Bobby Bonilla played, he was a good, pretty good player,
00:32:14.080 uh, back in the day, in the 90s.
00:32:15.760 Played for the Mets and the Pirates, among other teams.
00:32:19.680 Uh, but his departure from the Mets is now stuff of legend.
00:32:24.140 And, so he was owed $5.9 million in 2000,
00:32:30.780 and they wanted to buy out his contract.
00:32:32.960 He was, it was not working out.
00:32:34.140 He was fighting with the manager, wanted to leave the team.
00:32:36.900 So, he is negotiating his departure.
00:32:41.040 They don't want to pay him $5.9 million, though.
00:32:44.660 Because, you know, they don't like him,
00:32:45.920 and they want him to go away.
00:32:47.900 So, instead of paying him $5.9 million,
00:32:49.880 they, they, uh, negotiate a deferred compensation plan.
00:32:54.840 God, I want this deferred compensation plan so badly.
00:32:58.400 Instead of receiving $5.9 million in 2000,
00:33:01.600 he would receive $1.19 million in 2011.
00:33:08.400 And, 2012.
00:33:13.020 And, 13.
00:33:14.300 And, 14.
00:33:15.200 And, 15.
00:33:16.040 And, on.
00:33:16.780 And, on.
00:33:17.440 And, on.
00:33:18.280 All the way to 2035.
00:33:22.240 So, instead of receiving $6 million in 2000,
00:33:26.000 he gets $1.2 million every year
00:33:29.420 from 2011
00:33:30.960 to 2035.
00:33:33.580 Amazing.
00:33:38.120 Something like $28 million instead of $5.
00:33:41.860 Now, you think,
00:33:42.660 like, why the hell would the Mets want to do this?
00:33:44.820 This makes no sense.
00:33:45.920 Well, at the time,
00:33:46.760 they had some different information.
00:33:48.100 They wanted to pay for players
00:33:49.840 right at that moment
00:33:50.960 to make a World Series run,
00:33:52.020 which they made.
00:33:53.140 There was some success to it.
00:33:54.380 They wound up trading the player they got.
00:33:56.540 They got another one of their all-time greats.
00:33:58.440 There was some success there.
00:33:59.360 But, the reason why they thought
00:34:00.120 it was going to work out financially
00:34:01.160 is because they had these incredible investments.
00:34:04.580 They were guaranteed 15% a year
00:34:08.020 on these investments
00:34:09.380 and they were only paying 8% interest.
00:34:12.240 Almost a guaranteed win there.
00:34:14.740 Pretty big deal.
00:34:15.860 I mean, it's like giving you money.
00:34:17.900 The only slight problem
00:34:19.700 with the 15% guaranteed returns
00:34:21.640 is it came from an investment advisor
00:34:23.220 named Bernie Madoff.
00:34:26.160 So, they made this whole deal
00:34:28.360 believing they were going to make
00:34:29.520 all this Madoff money
00:34:30.560 for decades to come
00:34:31.820 and that one didn't work out
00:34:33.640 all that well.
00:34:35.620 Anyway,
00:34:36.300 I hope you celebrate this week.
00:34:38.020 Happy Bobby.
00:34:39.020 Glenn Beck.
00:34:40.600 So, we have some new information
00:34:42.100 about America's favorite socialist,
00:34:44.840 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:34:48.300 Very excited to tell you about it.
00:34:49.860 It's been a big week
00:34:51.140 for socialism.
00:34:54.980 Mr. Lopez Obrador,
00:34:57.180 the new coming to be,
00:34:59.680 soon to be president of Mexico,
00:35:01.780 has won the presidential election there.
00:35:03.940 First time a big time leftist
00:35:05.640 has won in a long time.
00:35:06.760 You might think,
00:35:07.180 wait a minute,
00:35:07.500 the last guy wasn't a big time leftist?
00:35:09.820 Apparently not.
00:35:11.440 They've gone further.
00:35:13.520 But he won 53% of the vote.
00:35:16.240 And it looks like we're going to have,
00:35:18.220 it's going to be an interesting part of this
00:35:19.740 because with all the stuff
00:35:20.980 already going on with Mexico,
00:35:22.740 they haven't been big fans of us recently.
00:35:24.100 And the idea of potentially renegotiating
00:35:27.200 trade deals and things like that
00:35:28.840 could be a big time
00:35:30.820 complication to this process.
00:35:34.460 Also,
00:35:35.420 the president has
00:35:36.640 outwardly said
00:35:38.140 he is not going to try to stop anybody
00:35:39.740 from crossing the border.
00:35:41.840 Now you might think,
00:35:42.800 wait a minute,
00:35:43.100 was the last guy trying to stop people
00:35:44.620 from crossing the border?
00:35:45.620 Apparently, yes.
00:35:48.020 This is what it's been like
00:35:49.180 when they've been trying.
00:35:51.240 Can you imagine
00:35:52.040 the opposite will be?
00:35:52.920 But the good thing is
00:35:53.900 they're going to bring socialism there.
00:35:55.740 And then socialism
00:35:57.060 will make the country so great
00:35:59.280 no one will want to leave.
00:36:01.120 When's the last time
00:36:01.980 you saw people trying to escape
00:36:03.340 a socialist or communist country?
00:36:04.820 I don't think it's ever happened.
00:36:06.940 I mean,
00:36:07.420 Cuba,
00:36:08.260 it's really more about the heat.
00:36:10.660 It's just too hot there.
00:36:12.240 They want to go to the cool,
00:36:13.520 the quiet,
00:36:14.260 cool breeze of Miami instead.
00:36:17.180 Because there,
00:36:18.120 it's not warm at all.
00:36:19.040 And North Korea,
00:36:21.360 look,
00:36:21.840 sure,
00:36:22.780 you know,
00:36:23.420 that's more of an issue,
00:36:24.800 local weather patterns,
00:36:27.200 you wouldn't understand.
00:36:30.380 Plus everyone,
00:36:31.240 you know what happens
00:36:31.860 is you go south,
00:36:33.220 you're like snowbirds,
00:36:34.020 you go south
00:36:34.640 and then you can't get back in.
00:36:35.940 That's the problem there.
00:36:38.980 And sure,
00:36:39.980 you know,
00:36:40.440 there may be some evidence
00:36:41.880 of a wall
00:36:42.520 that used to stand up
00:36:43.500 so that people would get shot
00:36:44.700 when they tried to go over it
00:36:45.820 in Germany.
00:36:47.180 But that was,
00:36:48.680 again,
00:36:50.180 people,
00:36:50.940 they were concerned.
00:36:52.380 It was a high wall.
00:36:54.000 You go over that wall,
00:36:54.820 you fall on the other side,
00:36:56.120 ankles break.
00:36:58.820 So this was for the,
00:37:00.620 had nothing to do
00:37:01.440 with trying to escape.
00:37:02.900 It was all to do
00:37:04.460 with helping.
00:37:06.300 Because they didn't want,
00:37:07.400 no one wants
00:37:07.940 health insurance costs
00:37:09.180 to go up.
00:37:10.640 No one needs
00:37:11.420 a broken ankle.
00:37:12.140 But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:37:17.000 she is the person
00:37:18.080 who beat Joe Crowley,
00:37:19.640 was one of the highest
00:37:20.840 ranking Democrats,
00:37:22.020 I think fourth in line there,
00:37:23.800 talked about as a potential
00:37:25.140 replacement for Nancy Pelosi
00:37:26.460 at some point,
00:37:27.140 and he got smoked
00:37:28.580 in his election.
00:37:29.800 Now,
00:37:29.980 some people are going
00:37:30.740 out of their way
00:37:31.200 to say that this is
00:37:31.840 about demographics,
00:37:32.740 and that's wrong.
00:37:34.500 Okay.
00:37:35.620 Now,
00:37:36.200 there,
00:37:36.340 I think,
00:37:36.920 are three districts
00:37:38.920 as diverse
00:37:40.480 as this district
00:37:41.780 in America
00:37:42.700 that did not have,
00:37:44.160 that had white representatives,
00:37:45.640 and two of the three
00:37:47.020 are stepping down,
00:37:48.240 and then there's this one.
00:37:49.820 So that was the fourth.
00:37:50.980 I think there's one left.
00:37:52.400 I mean,
00:37:52.720 this is,
00:37:53.140 you know,
00:37:53.320 look,
00:37:53.500 you get to vote
00:37:53.860 for whoever you want.
00:37:54.600 If you have a community
00:37:55.200 that is diverse
00:37:57.300 in whatever way,
00:37:58.600 you can vote
00:37:59.080 however you like.
00:38:00.220 That's part of America.
00:38:01.640 You can vote however,
00:38:02.300 I mean,
00:38:02.620 I would never vote
00:38:04.960 based on skin color
00:38:06.320 or heritage.
00:38:07.560 That would never be
00:38:08.400 something that I would do.
00:38:10.180 Many people do.
00:38:10.920 And many people
00:38:11.620 get it encouraged.
00:38:13.040 A lot of people think
00:38:13.900 that that's a good idea.
00:38:15.860 I am not one of those people.
00:38:17.740 I do not think
00:38:18.240 you should ever,
00:38:18.900 ever,
00:38:19.340 ever vote
00:38:20.080 based on skin color.
00:38:22.660 Really bad things
00:38:23.660 have happened in the past
00:38:24.580 when that's gone on.
00:38:25.980 I could actually send you
00:38:27.060 back to some of the countries
00:38:28.060 we've been just talking about
00:38:29.180 where a lot of that goes on
00:38:30.360 and has gone on
00:38:31.160 in the past.
00:38:34.500 But Ocasio-Cortez
00:38:36.360 has been your standard
00:38:37.800 sort of liberal activist
00:38:39.020 for many years.
00:38:41.040 She won this race.
00:38:42.200 She's 28 years old
00:38:43.460 and she's kind of
00:38:46.520 the phenom
00:38:47.480 of the left right now.
00:38:49.720 She's pretty new
00:38:50.600 to politics.
00:38:51.720 In 2016,
00:38:52.900 she voted
00:38:53.720 and tried to
00:38:55.400 celebrate
00:38:56.840 the candidacy
00:38:57.920 of Bernie Sanders,
00:38:58.840 helped campaign
00:38:59.480 for Bernie.
00:39:01.480 Not a huge surprise.
00:39:02.680 She also protested
00:39:04.020 against the Dakota
00:39:04.680 Access Pipeline
00:39:05.880 and visited there,
00:39:07.180 visited Flint,
00:39:08.840 Michigan as well,
00:39:09.920 which is a big thing
00:39:10.720 with the public water supply.
00:39:12.220 The public water supply,
00:39:15.500 which somehow
00:39:15.860 is a left-wing cause
00:39:16.780 that that went wrong.
00:39:18.040 Is that not
00:39:18.540 a right-wing point?
00:39:21.000 The public water supply,
00:39:23.120 the government
00:39:24.180 screws things up a lot.
00:39:26.560 Oh, God.
00:39:27.140 I'll get into that one again.
00:39:28.840 She then went back
00:39:29.940 to work
00:39:30.500 for a restaurant
00:39:31.680 in Union Square
00:39:33.300 in Manhattan,
00:39:34.840 a very capitalist area
00:39:36.660 that has a lot
00:39:37.580 of left-wing protests in it.
00:39:39.040 If you've ever been
00:39:39.440 to Union Square,
00:39:39.940 we did the show
00:39:40.480 for many years
00:39:41.280 in New York City,
00:39:42.240 and Union Square,
00:39:43.820 you go around,
00:39:44.540 it's a friendly place
00:39:48.480 for tourists,
00:39:50.160 but it's a very upscale area
00:39:53.060 surrounded by
00:39:54.920 trendy restaurants
00:39:57.060 and such,
00:39:58.460 trendy shops,
00:39:59.620 along with some
00:40:00.280 chain stuff.
00:40:01.820 Like, it is,
00:40:02.480 it's not exactly
00:40:03.480 a socialist paradise.
00:40:04.760 However,
00:40:05.080 if you go to Union Square,
00:40:06.920 you'll almost always find
00:40:08.040 a bunch of socialists
00:40:08.940 chanting about
00:40:09.560 something or other.
00:40:11.420 It's an interesting location
00:40:12.700 for that activity.
00:40:15.140 But she wound up
00:40:16.440 getting a,
00:40:17.460 an ask from
00:40:19.760 the former veterans
00:40:21.020 of the Sanders campaign
00:40:22.400 to see if she wanted
00:40:23.060 to run for Congress,
00:40:24.180 which she did,
00:40:25.240 and she won.
00:40:27.060 Now,
00:40:27.660 her brand of socialism
00:40:28.820 has been interesting
00:40:29.740 since.
00:40:30.240 She kind of portrayed
00:40:31.180 herself as
00:40:32.120 Jenny from the block,
00:40:34.020 right?
00:40:34.300 She was,
00:40:35.900 she grew up in the Bronx,
00:40:37.460 she's a girl from the Bronx
00:40:38.500 was the way she kind of
00:40:39.460 touted herself.
00:40:40.580 There's been some
00:40:41.120 questioning of that
00:40:41.980 lately.
00:40:43.240 People have kind of
00:40:44.040 looked back into her
00:40:44.920 childhood and
00:40:45.740 found,
00:40:47.200 eh,
00:40:48.480 maybe she didn't grow up
00:40:49.460 in the Bronx
00:40:49.900 all that much.
00:40:51.500 In fact,
00:40:51.780 she grew up in
00:40:52.360 Yorktown Heights
00:40:53.300 in New York,
00:40:55.620 which is kind of
00:40:56.600 being presented
00:40:57.160 as this super
00:40:57.940 upscale area.
00:40:59.120 Now,
00:40:59.280 I spent a lot,
00:41:00.360 a good chunk
00:41:01.200 of my summers
00:41:01.920 in Yorktown,
00:41:03.160 which,
00:41:03.460 by the way,
00:41:03.820 I don't think
00:41:04.140 I've ever heard
00:41:04.580 anyone call it
00:41:05.320 Yorktown Heights
00:41:06.020 in my entire life.
00:41:07.460 Everyone always
00:41:07.900 calls it Yorktown.
00:41:09.060 That's as far as
00:41:10.120 I've known.
00:41:10.800 But my aunt lived
00:41:11.540 in Yorktown for
00:41:12.220 many years,
00:41:13.200 and my grandparents
00:41:14.280 lived nearby,
00:41:15.240 so I was shuttled
00:41:16.040 back and forth
00:41:16.640 between those two
00:41:17.240 locations quite a bit.
00:41:19.200 And I did a lot
00:41:20.140 of time in the
00:41:20.640 summer up there.
00:41:21.380 It's a nice area.
00:41:22.500 It's not,
00:41:22.920 I wouldn't say
00:41:23.460 it's a,
00:41:24.080 you know,
00:41:24.660 to paint it as
00:41:25.700 this Beverly Hills-esque
00:41:27.300 town is,
00:41:28.600 I do not think
00:41:29.400 accurate.
00:41:30.800 It's nice.
00:41:31.660 It's a nice,
00:41:32.340 it's a working class
00:41:33.220 town.
00:41:33.680 Now,
00:41:33.780 I mean,
00:41:34.080 the average salary
00:41:35.680 is high,
00:41:36.820 but that's because
00:41:37.280 it's in Westchester
00:41:38.060 County,
00:41:38.400 and,
00:41:39.720 you know,
00:41:40.080 there's a lot of
00:41:40.680 people who live
00:41:41.520 there who bring
00:41:42.780 that average up
00:41:43.400 quite a bit.
00:41:44.720 But it's not,
00:41:45.400 you would not go
00:41:46.320 there and think,
00:41:47.020 oh my gosh,
00:41:47.860 this socialist
00:41:50.340 is living
00:41:50.980 in Beverly Hills.
00:41:54.400 She's basically
00:41:55.100 90210.
00:41:56.260 It's not that.
00:41:57.440 It's being a little
00:41:58.180 bit overstated
00:41:59.000 in the media today.
00:42:01.060 But Yorktown
00:42:01.980 is a nice place
00:42:03.540 and certainly,
00:42:05.600 you know,
00:42:06.020 significantly different
00:42:08.060 than the Bronx.
00:42:08.860 It's a suburb.
00:42:10.240 I mean,
00:42:10.480 it's Westchester
00:42:11.220 County,
00:42:12.180 right?
00:42:12.540 This is not,
00:42:13.540 you know,
00:42:14.080 this is not the
00:42:14.700 school of hard knocks.
00:42:15.680 It's a nice,
00:42:16.160 it's a nice place
00:42:16.880 to live.
00:42:17.860 So,
00:42:20.920 this has been,
00:42:22.880 she had a fight
00:42:23.640 with John Cardillo
00:42:26.500 over at Newsmax
00:42:27.520 about this
00:42:28.140 where he apparently,
00:42:30.000 he's the one
00:42:31.060 that brought some
00:42:31.580 of this to
00:42:32.320 people's attention.
00:42:34.560 And she writes
00:42:35.520 back that she
00:42:36.460 didn't go to
00:42:36.980 Brown or the
00:42:37.580 Ivy League.
00:42:38.400 I went to
00:42:39.140 BU.
00:42:40.000 Try Google.
00:42:41.000 I guess his
00:42:41.680 first article
00:42:43.440 mentioned that she
00:42:44.220 was in the
00:42:45.960 Ivy League.
00:42:46.440 However,
00:42:48.400 BU,
00:42:49.220 like,
00:42:49.820 do you claim
00:42:50.740 BU as an
00:42:52.140 argument
00:42:52.600 for your
00:42:54.300 working class
00:42:55.940 upbringing?
00:42:57.600 BU costs
00:42:58.340 $70,000
00:42:59.680 a year
00:43:00.280 to attend.
00:43:01.900 Now,
00:43:02.120 she's very smart
00:43:02.960 apparently,
00:43:03.580 so probably had
00:43:04.560 some sort of
00:43:05.060 scholarship.
00:43:06.060 But,
00:43:06.280 yeah,
00:43:06.400 I don't think
00:43:06.700 you can act
00:43:07.800 as if you
00:43:08.360 didn't have
00:43:08.860 a nice
00:43:09.180 education
00:43:09.780 when you
00:43:11.160 go to
00:43:11.460 Boston
00:43:11.840 University.
00:43:12.540 this is,
00:43:14.560 it might not
00:43:15.120 be Ivy League,
00:43:15.880 but it's
00:43:16.080 pretty elite.
00:43:17.440 $70,000
00:43:18.200 a year?
00:43:19.240 It's a lot
00:43:19.940 of money.
00:43:23.720 She also
00:43:24.640 fired back
00:43:26.240 and was
00:43:27.300 upset about
00:43:28.500 her family,
00:43:31.060 her story,
00:43:31.800 her home,
00:43:32.420 and her
00:43:32.700 identity
00:43:33.200 was stripped
00:43:34.200 by John.
00:43:37.180 I don't know
00:43:37.800 if that's
00:43:38.240 accurate.
00:43:39.540 Seems as if
00:43:40.520 she was
00:43:40.900 portraying
00:43:42.680 her
00:43:42.940 upbringing
00:43:43.660 in a way
00:43:44.940 to make
00:43:45.980 her story
00:43:46.580 more friendly
00:43:47.260 for voters.
00:43:48.660 I'm a kid
00:43:49.320 from,
00:43:49.820 it is
00:43:50.420 legitimately
00:43:51.400 what Jennifer
00:43:52.140 Lopez did.
00:43:53.700 Right?
00:43:54.260 Jennifer Lopez
00:43:55.120 wanted you to
00:43:55.740 know she was
00:43:56.240 Jenny from
00:43:56.700 the block.
00:43:57.600 She hasn't
00:43:58.160 changed.
00:43:58.880 She wanted
00:43:59.260 to emphasize
00:43:59.920 that she
00:44:00.980 was from
00:44:01.420 the Bronx.
00:44:02.220 She was
00:44:02.500 the same
00:44:03.500 girl from
00:44:03.880 the block.
00:44:04.520 She used
00:44:05.060 to have
00:44:05.460 a little,
00:44:06.280 now she
00:44:06.860 has a lot.
00:44:08.660 And you're
00:44:08.960 supposed to
00:44:09.320 relate to
00:44:09.780 Jennifer Lopez,
00:44:10.520 because of
00:44:10.980 that.
00:44:11.540 Now,
00:44:11.880 as far as
00:44:12.340 I understand,
00:44:13.060 Jenny was
00:44:13.740 actually from
00:44:14.500 the block
00:44:14.920 at some
00:44:15.300 point,
00:44:15.600 which is a
00:44:15.960 difference in
00:44:16.340 the stories
00:44:16.760 here.
00:44:17.720 But the
00:44:18.180 idea is your
00:44:18.780 PR approach
00:44:19.760 is to tell
00:44:20.580 people,
00:44:21.020 hey,
00:44:21.340 I'm from
00:44:22.040 your town.
00:44:22.780 We see
00:44:23.040 this all
00:44:23.340 the time
00:44:23.680 in elections.
00:44:24.900 People move
00:44:25.440 in,
00:44:25.900 you know,
00:44:26.040 like Hillary
00:44:26.400 Clinton moves
00:44:26.920 in,
00:44:27.180 oh,
00:44:27.260 yeah,
00:44:27.400 but I
00:44:27.600 went to
00:44:27.940 New York
00:44:28.260 once.
00:44:28.880 Yeah,
00:44:29.100 okay,
00:44:29.380 I don't
00:44:29.580 know if
00:44:29.740 that means
00:44:30.020 that you
00:44:30.640 should be
00:44:30.920 senator,
00:44:31.300 but since
00:44:31.560 we know
00:44:31.860 your name
00:44:32.260 so well,
00:44:33.100 congratulations,
00:44:34.080 you've
00:44:34.260 won.
00:44:35.480 That's the
00:44:35.980 thing that
00:44:36.220 you do.
00:44:36.520 You move
00:44:36.960 into the
00:44:37.360 town and
00:44:38.440 you act
00:44:38.840 like you
00:44:39.160 had some
00:44:39.480 familiarity
00:44:40.020 with it.
00:44:41.280 It's kind
00:44:41.720 of a
00:44:41.960 standard thing.
00:44:42.640 Now,
00:44:42.900 she did
00:44:43.440 spend time
00:44:44.080 in the
00:44:44.280 Bronx,
00:44:44.580 so I
00:44:44.900 think that's
00:44:45.360 part of
00:44:45.660 it.
00:44:46.400 But,
00:44:46.840 you know,
00:44:47.580 the Yorktown
00:44:48.280 Heights part
00:44:50.260 of the story
00:44:50.740 apparently
00:44:51.140 is not as
00:44:51.660 notable.
00:44:55.540 She also,
00:44:56.560 as a
00:44:56.860 socialist,
00:44:57.360 has some
00:44:57.680 strange
00:44:58.200 habits.
00:45:00.640 For example,
00:45:01.760 after winning
00:45:02.600 her election,
00:45:03.300 and,
00:45:03.540 you know,
00:45:03.700 Alexandria
00:45:04.580 Ocasio-Cortez
00:45:05.860 is very
00:45:07.600 pretty,
00:45:08.380 I would say.
00:45:09.260 Now,
00:45:09.540 you might
00:45:09.800 say,
00:45:10.100 wait a minute,
00:45:10.440 isn't that
00:45:10.700 demeaning?
00:45:11.460 How dare you
00:45:12.420 call a
00:45:13.140 woman pretty?
00:45:13.960 I don't
00:45:14.880 know.
00:45:15.100 I think
00:45:15.300 it's true.
00:45:16.480 She's 28
00:45:17.800 years old.
00:45:18.460 She's quite
00:45:18.840 attractive,
00:45:19.520 and probably
00:45:20.140 part of the
00:45:20.500 reason she
00:45:20.780 won.
00:45:22.180 You know,
00:45:22.480 I mean,
00:45:22.740 like,
00:45:22.960 look,
00:45:23.240 we all
00:45:23.720 know that
00:45:24.440 better-looking
00:45:25.060 candidates are
00:45:26.120 what political
00:45:26.900 parties look
00:45:27.500 for.
00:45:28.520 You look
00:45:28.840 for better,
00:45:29.260 why do you
00:45:29.620 think that the
00:45:30.460 left is always
00:45:30.960 threatening to
00:45:31.420 run celebrities?
00:45:31.980 Because they
00:45:34.000 have all the
00:45:34.380 good-looking
00:45:34.660 celebrities on
00:45:35.200 their team.
00:45:37.220 And so,
00:45:37.940 that is part of
00:45:38.640 it,
00:45:39.020 you know?
00:45:39.360 I mean,
00:45:39.640 that is,
00:45:40.500 you know,
00:45:40.860 it's part of
00:45:41.180 the package.
00:45:42.120 You want to
00:45:42.460 have someone
00:45:42.920 who's good-looking
00:45:44.540 and can,
00:45:46.960 I don't know,
00:45:47.760 is telegenic,
00:45:48.900 right?
00:45:49.180 They're going to
00:45:49.500 go on television
00:45:50.080 all the time.
00:45:51.180 And you might
00:45:51.740 say,
00:45:51.980 wait a minute,
00:45:52.320 I look at the
00:45:52.720 blaze and
00:45:53.060 it doesn't seem
00:45:53.340 like you've
00:45:53.660 focused on that
00:45:54.180 at all.
00:45:55.020 That's true.
00:45:56.060 It's a good
00:45:56.800 point.
00:45:58.520 It's a very
00:45:59.020 good point.
00:45:59.960 None of us
00:46:00.460 know why we're
00:46:01.120 on television.
00:46:02.040 I tried to
00:46:02.680 start on radio
00:46:03.300 so you wouldn't
00:46:03.760 have to look
00:46:04.120 at me every
00:46:04.500 day.
00:46:05.060 So,
00:46:05.780 don't blame
00:46:06.540 me.
00:46:08.560 But Ocasio
00:46:09.140 Cortez had
00:46:10.640 an issue
00:46:11.100 with a lot
00:46:11.920 of people
00:46:12.440 saying that
00:46:13.400 they wanted
00:46:13.880 to know
00:46:14.600 what shade
00:46:16.040 of lipstick
00:46:16.700 she was
00:46:17.240 wearing.
00:46:18.620 Now,
00:46:19.200 I assume
00:46:19.700 it was some
00:46:20.240 government-designed
00:46:21.500 lipstick,
00:46:22.580 perhaps straight
00:46:23.560 out of the
00:46:24.100 Castro regime
00:46:25.200 that she
00:46:26.440 imports,
00:46:27.140 but no.
00:46:29.120 Apparently,
00:46:30.120 it's a
00:46:32.400 capitalist
00:46:32.960 brand of
00:46:33.840 lipstick,
00:46:34.240 which she
00:46:34.660 went on
00:46:35.200 Twitter,
00:46:35.960 a company
00:46:36.640 you may
00:46:37.100 note that
00:46:37.960 works for
00:46:38.500 profit,
00:46:39.940 and tweeted
00:46:41.140 the brand
00:46:43.280 and type
00:46:44.140 shade of
00:46:45.740 lipstick to
00:46:47.060 her audience.
00:46:50.280 Now,
00:46:51.280 it is sold
00:46:52.380 out on
00:46:53.080 Sephora's
00:46:53.740 website.
00:46:55.280 Sephora,
00:46:55.800 you might
00:46:56.120 know,
00:46:57.220 another
00:46:57.600 company
00:46:58.120 run on
00:47:00.480 the profit
00:47:00.920 motive,
00:47:01.920 and this
00:47:02.180 I know
00:47:02.500 because
00:47:02.740 approximately
00:47:03.260 40% of
00:47:04.080 my salary
00:47:04.500 goes to
00:47:05.180 Sephora.
00:47:06.120 Thank you,
00:47:06.740 Lisa,
00:47:07.700 my lovely
00:47:08.120 wife.
00:47:10.480 She is
00:47:11.760 now touting
00:47:12.700 this
00:47:13.340 lipstick color
00:47:15.040 and everyone's
00:47:15.660 going crazy
00:47:16.180 for it.
00:47:17.440 It's a
00:47:18.120 strange world
00:47:18.960 we live in
00:47:19.440 where socialists
00:47:20.400 are so
00:47:21.140 open to
00:47:23.740 to embracing
00:47:24.640 capitalism
00:47:25.380 when it
00:47:26.560 benefits them.
00:47:27.380 We see this
00:47:27.780 all the time.
00:47:28.220 Tonight on TV,
00:47:28.800 I'm filling in for
00:47:29.240 Glenn on television
00:47:30.020 as well tonight.
00:47:31.120 We're to go
00:47:31.520 through some of
00:47:32.020 the lifestyles of
00:47:32.820 the rich and
00:47:33.220 socialist.
00:47:34.240 I want people
00:47:35.200 to be able to
00:47:35.820 see how
00:47:36.340 these wonderful
00:47:37.620 celebrities
00:47:38.160 that have now
00:47:39.440 come into your
00:47:40.740 living room
00:47:42.000 through the
00:47:42.300 television every
00:47:42.860 day
00:47:43.120 based on their
00:47:45.040 belief in
00:47:45.740 redistributing
00:47:46.320 wealth
00:47:46.740 and how they
00:47:47.800 actually redistribute
00:47:48.740 it to
00:47:49.420 themselves.
00:47:49.900 we'll go
00:47:51.860 over that
00:47:52.160 tonight on
00:47:52.540 television
00:47:52.940 5pm at
00:47:53.600 theblaze.com
00:47:54.240 slash tv
00:47:54.900 or on your
00:47:56.800 local cable
00:47:57.740 provider.
00:47:59.620 But I love
00:48:00.520 this part of
00:48:01.040 this.
00:48:01.540 Now Alexandria
00:48:02.320 Ocasio-Cortez
00:48:03.380 worked very
00:48:05.060 recently at
00:48:07.160 a restaurant
00:48:08.480 in, as I
00:48:10.280 mentioned,
00:48:10.700 Union Square.
00:48:11.440 Now normally
00:48:12.200 these issues,
00:48:13.100 there's an
00:48:14.120 ex-co-worker
00:48:15.380 that doesn't
00:48:17.060 like her very
00:48:17.580 much apparently.
00:48:18.180 And normally
00:48:20.140 I would say
00:48:20.720 these stories
00:48:21.360 are pathetic.
00:48:22.160 Like this
00:48:22.380 happens left
00:48:23.520 and right.
00:48:24.240 People try to
00:48:24.780 look back and
00:48:25.360 find one
00:48:26.320 worker who
00:48:27.160 worked with
00:48:27.560 them that
00:48:27.800 didn't like
00:48:28.260 them from
00:48:28.640 many years
00:48:29.160 ago.
00:48:29.680 And these
00:48:30.100 stories are
00:48:30.520 a little
00:48:30.740 lame honestly
00:48:31.520 in most
00:48:32.040 cases.
00:48:32.960 You know this
00:48:33.260 happened certainly
00:48:34.080 with Mitt
00:48:35.420 Romney when
00:48:37.220 people were
00:48:37.880 talking about
00:48:38.540 well he once
00:48:39.740 went on a
00:48:40.160 trip and put
00:48:40.980 his dog on
00:48:41.720 the roof.
00:48:42.420 He once gave
00:48:43.580 an illicit
00:48:44.180 haircut to
00:48:45.360 someone who
00:48:46.440 was when he
00:48:47.360 was 18 years
00:48:48.100 old and
00:48:48.740 they're meaningless
00:48:50.740 stories because
00:48:51.320 they go back
00:48:51.720 so many years.
00:48:52.640 This one however
00:48:53.200 is a little bit
00:48:53.860 interesting to me
00:48:54.500 because Ocasio
00:48:56.360 Cortez is only
00:48:57.340 28.
00:48:58.680 She was working
00:48:59.480 at a restaurant
00:49:00.400 six months
00:49:01.400 before she
00:49:02.660 started running
00:49:03.200 for Congress.
00:49:04.180 This is part of
00:49:05.240 her sort of
00:49:05.700 wonderful story
00:49:06.600 right?
00:49:07.040 Like she's
00:49:07.600 you know girl
00:49:09.620 from the Bronx
00:49:10.280 really Yorktown
00:49:11.540 but girl from
00:49:12.060 the Bronx
00:49:12.580 who loves the
00:49:13.740 Bronx so much
00:49:14.420 that she works
00:49:14.940 in Manhattan
00:49:15.380 and that's
00:49:16.520 something you're
00:49:17.120 supposed to
00:49:17.520 like if you're
00:49:18.000 from the Bronx
00:49:18.500 apparently.
00:49:19.320 But what I
00:49:19.620 think I thought
00:49:20.280 was interesting
00:49:20.780 is this.
00:49:22.360 She's being
00:49:22.820 hailed as the
00:49:23.440 new face of
00:49:23.960 the Democratic
00:49:24.420 Party, a
00:49:25.180 Democratic
00:49:25.600 socialist.
00:49:29.100 But the
00:49:30.280 people she
00:49:32.460 worked with
00:49:33.080 generally speaking
00:49:34.020 like her.
00:49:34.800 However one
00:49:35.400 waitress has a
00:49:36.000 bad memory of
00:49:36.760 working with
00:49:37.160 Ocasio Cortez
00:49:38.180 28 as she
00:49:39.720 tended bar at
00:49:40.440 the very busy
00:49:41.180 Cinco de Mayo
00:49:42.240 celebration in
00:49:43.500 2017.
00:49:44.700 The end of the
00:49:45.300 night when it
00:49:45.680 came time to
00:49:46.100 split the
00:49:46.440 $560 in
00:49:47.740 tips that she
00:49:49.780 had received
00:49:50.200 at the bar
00:49:50.740 Ocasio Cortez
00:49:51.700 gave the
00:49:52.120 waitress only
00:49:53.840 $50.
00:49:55.480 After the
00:49:56.020 waitress complained
00:49:56.800 to her manager
00:49:57.520 her take was
00:49:58.260 doubled to
00:49:58.940 $100.
00:50:00.140 So again if
00:50:00.960 you've ever
00:50:01.220 worked at a
00:50:01.600 restaurant they
00:50:02.220 pull all these
00:50:02.780 tips and you're
00:50:03.560 tipping out if
00:50:04.160 you're a
00:50:04.380 bartender right
00:50:05.040 you're going to
00:50:05.440 give some money
00:50:07.660 to maybe some
00:50:09.060 of the servers
00:50:09.540 maybe some of
00:50:10.360 the bus
00:50:11.780 boys whatever.
00:50:13.480 Apparently this
00:50:14.260 waitress was
00:50:14.980 supposed to get
00:50:15.520 $100 and
00:50:16.480 only got $50
00:50:17.280 meaning that
00:50:18.840 the Democratic
00:50:19.520 Socialists did
00:50:20.400 not properly
00:50:21.260 redistribute the
00:50:22.420 wealth.
00:50:24.020 It is exactly
00:50:27.320 the thing that
00:50:28.900 they're supposed to
00:50:29.600 be wanting to
00:50:30.220 do.
00:50:31.180 However when
00:50:32.180 they're working
00:50:32.760 at a capitalist
00:50:33.720 restaurant to
00:50:35.700 get money for
00:50:36.480 their capitalist
00:50:37.240 lipstick so they
00:50:40.080 can tweet about
00:50:40.740 it on the
00:50:41.140 capitalist social
00:50:42.160 media site
00:50:42.980 apparently
00:50:44.140 redistributing the
00:50:45.460 wealth no
00:50:46.440 longer applies.
00:50:51.100 Glenn Beck
00:50:52.160 888-727-BECK is
00:50:54.600 the phone number
00:50:55.120 it's Stu in for
00:50:56.180 Glenn on the
00:50:56.860 Glenn Beck
00:50:57.140 program talking
00:50:57.840 about socialism
00:51:00.140 and its rise here
00:51:01.720 in America.
00:51:03.500 There's a podcast
00:51:04.660 out called The
00:51:06.060 Butterfly Effect
00:51:06.820 by John Ronson
00:51:08.200 and it's really an
00:51:09.820 interesting listen if
00:51:10.900 you like these
00:51:11.400 sorts of things.
00:51:12.120 It follows the
00:51:12.840 butterfly effect
00:51:13.580 kind of of what
00:51:14.200 happened when a
00:51:17.360 guy in Montreal
00:51:18.200 decided you know
00:51:19.600 it would be cool
00:51:20.040 if we did a
00:51:20.740 YouTube for porn
00:51:22.480 and basically
00:51:24.740 decided to figure
00:51:25.820 out a way to
00:51:27.000 make streaming
00:51:27.780 porn available
00:51:29.740 to the masses.
00:51:32.060 What changed in
00:51:33.300 our society?
00:51:34.680 You know it used
00:51:35.460 to be this is not
00:51:37.200 a great commentary
00:51:37.920 but it used to be
00:51:38.540 that reputation
00:51:39.260 infamy, disease,
00:51:42.100 yuckiness, the
00:51:43.780 fires of hell for
00:51:44.600 all eternity was a
00:51:46.360 trade-off for a lot
00:51:47.840 of money and that
00:51:49.580 was at least a
00:51:50.320 decision that you
00:51:52.040 could theoretically
00:51:53.200 understand.
00:51:54.800 Jenna Jameson is
00:51:55.860 known as a porn
00:51:56.620 star but also
00:51:57.920 known as a
00:51:58.340 multi-millionaire.
00:51:59.520 There was that
00:52:00.180 idea that you
00:52:01.380 went in and you
00:52:01.960 sacrificed a lot
00:52:02.960 of things but at
00:52:03.620 least you got rich
00:52:04.160 out of it.
00:52:04.900 I mean Stormy
00:52:05.340 Daniels is another
00:52:06.020 example right?
00:52:06.640 You probably
00:52:07.300 didn't know her
00:52:07.980 name until very
00:52:08.940 recently but still
00:52:10.820 she somehow made
00:52:11.540 a lot of cash and
00:52:13.020 yes you pay a high
00:52:14.200 price forever.
00:52:15.500 The best possible
00:52:16.780 outcome for you
00:52:17.540 past 30 is a
00:52:18.600 rumored affair with
00:52:19.400 someone more famous
00:52:20.200 than you at a
00:52:20.620 golf tournament but
00:52:21.980 still there's the
00:52:22.540 money.
00:52:23.340 At least you're
00:52:23.720 making a decision.
00:52:25.060 Not a decision I
00:52:25.760 would advise but
00:52:26.700 you're making a
00:52:27.140 decision.
00:52:28.440 Now the supply of
00:52:29.940 porn is so high and
00:52:31.940 almost all of it is
00:52:33.060 free and it's
00:52:34.480 basically wiping out
00:52:35.740 the people making
00:52:36.500 it.
00:52:37.500 New girls come in
00:52:38.540 they do their
00:52:38.940 first time on
00:52:39.660 camera they make
00:52:40.400 some money and
00:52:41.540 then they make a
00:52:42.100 little bit more for
00:52:42.940 each escalating
00:52:43.780 degrading thing that
00:52:44.720 they do but in a
00:52:46.340 few months they're
00:52:46.900 gone and no one
00:52:47.620 wants them anymore.
00:52:48.980 Their reputation is
00:52:50.020 in the trash.
00:52:51.360 They've got no money
00:52:52.300 in their pocket and
00:52:53.840 they've got a lot of
00:52:54.760 new antiviral
00:52:56.160 medications to pay
00:52:57.140 for which are not
00:52:58.040 cheap even with the
00:52:59.980 wonders of Obamacare.
00:53:01.460 I know it's
00:53:01.860 surprising.
00:53:03.300 So the podcast goes
00:53:05.180 through this and
00:53:05.900 the free porn has
00:53:07.160 led to an increase
00:53:07.880 in infidelity in
00:53:09.300 ED among young
00:53:10.860 men along with
00:53:13.360 incredible improvements
00:53:14.200 in data analysis
00:53:15.240 but the worst thing
00:53:17.380 other than the pain
00:53:18.120 that comes from the
00:53:18.720 fire that is never
00:53:19.480 extinguished and
00:53:20.340 never consumes is
00:53:21.680 Montreal the
00:53:23.600 ugliest capitalist
00:53:24.900 thing in the world
00:53:26.040 in the ugliest
00:53:27.080 capitalist industry
00:53:28.260 came from Montreal.
00:53:29.520 We lost it to
00:53:30.360 Canada.
00:53:31.100 This is a
00:53:31.840 disgrace.
00:53:32.500 This is a
00:53:32.680 disgrace.
00:53:35.180 You're listening
00:53:38.800 to the Glenn
00:53:39.320 Beck Program.
00:53:40.400 It's due in for
00:53:41.060 Glenn Beck on the
00:53:41.580 Glenn Beck Program
00:53:42.240 Vacation Week and
00:53:43.320 I believe it was a
00:53:44.040 gift sent from the
00:53:45.460 heavens that LeBron
00:53:48.560 James would sign a
00:53:49.580 new contract when I'm
00:53:50.980 hosting by myself
00:53:51.980 because we all know
00:53:53.500 that Glenn would not
00:53:55.160 even know who
00:53:55.860 LeBron James was.
00:53:58.560 Glenn would have
00:54:00.080 absolutely no idea.
00:54:01.520 He would probably
00:54:02.660 think it was a
00:54:03.440 former progressive
00:54:06.620 activist that he
00:54:07.800 read about once in
00:54:09.900 some nerdy letter
00:54:10.840 that he paid way
00:54:12.140 too much money for.
00:54:13.840 However, LeBron
00:54:14.960 James goes to
00:54:17.900 Los Angeles going
00:54:21.060 to the Lakers.
00:54:21.720 $154 million over
00:54:23.700 four years.
00:54:25.440 $38.5 million
00:54:27.760 per season.
00:54:29.260 Now he turned
00:54:30.440 down $35.6
00:54:32.180 to stay at home
00:54:33.040 because who
00:54:34.160 could afford
00:54:34.860 those Akron
00:54:35.840 real estate
00:54:36.800 rates at
00:54:37.800 only $35.6
00:54:39.420 million?
00:54:43.160 It's going to
00:54:44.180 be an interesting
00:54:44.740 thing to watch.
00:54:45.880 One of the
00:54:46.660 overlooked stories
00:54:47.360 about LeBron
00:54:48.180 James is how
00:54:50.120 he returned to
00:54:50.840 Cleveland and
00:54:51.400 then held them
00:54:52.020 hostage every
00:54:53.020 single year.
00:54:54.540 Opting out of a
00:54:55.620 contract every
00:54:56.400 single year to
00:54:57.380 get every single
00:54:58.300 dime he could
00:54:59.100 to stay there.
00:55:00.880 The complaint was
00:55:01.500 always that you
00:55:01.940 couldn't get enough
00:55:02.400 people to come
00:55:02.900 play with LeBron.
00:55:04.640 Well, part of that
00:55:05.240 is probably because
00:55:06.060 no one knew if he'd
00:55:06.920 stick around for
00:55:07.720 another season or
00:55:08.480 not.
00:55:10.780 The other part
00:55:11.700 about it is it's
00:55:12.780 just not true.
00:55:16.700 This past team
00:55:18.000 started out with
00:55:19.160 Kyrie Irving.
00:55:20.360 You may remember
00:55:21.120 him from taking
00:55:21.920 and making all the
00:55:22.920 big shots in the
00:55:23.820 championship season
00:55:24.600 that they had.
00:55:25.220 But he just
00:55:26.620 couldn't bring
00:55:27.300 himself to play
00:55:28.260 with LeBron
00:55:28.760 anymore.
00:55:29.280 But that's
00:55:29.580 definitely not
00:55:30.320 LeBron's fault.
00:55:32.020 He makes
00:55:32.680 everybody around
00:55:33.460 him better.
00:55:35.360 So they traded
00:55:36.220 him for Isaiah
00:55:36.960 Thomas, fresh off
00:55:37.840 bringing the Celtics
00:55:38.520 to the conference
00:55:39.040 finals and averaging
00:55:39.940 29 points a game.
00:55:41.700 But that one
00:55:42.540 couldn't work out
00:55:43.220 either.
00:55:43.640 But it's not
00:55:44.340 LeBron's fault.
00:55:45.160 He makes everyone
00:55:45.840 around him better.
00:55:47.980 And of course
00:55:48.340 Kevin Love, who
00:55:49.200 was the most
00:55:49.540 sought-after free
00:55:50.260 agent in the
00:55:50.840 league.
00:55:51.200 Sure, he
00:55:52.980 averaged 26
00:55:53.740 points and 13
00:55:54.540 rebounds a game
00:55:55.460 before LeBron,
00:55:56.680 but he sucks
00:55:58.520 now too.
00:55:59.900 That's not
00:56:00.200 LeBron's fault,
00:56:00.920 however.
00:56:01.540 He makes everyone
00:56:02.280 around him better.
00:56:04.700 George Hill,
00:56:05.800 sure, last year
00:56:06.960 he averaged 17
00:56:07.800 points a game,
00:56:08.480 but he couldn't
00:56:08.960 make it work
00:56:09.460 with LeBron.
00:56:10.120 However, that's
00:56:10.820 not LeBron's fault.
00:56:11.860 He makes everyone
00:56:12.600 around him better.
00:56:15.260 Kyle Korver, he
00:56:16.220 can shoot, but
00:56:17.140 he's too old.
00:56:17.740 I mean, he was
00:56:18.120 an all-star way
00:56:19.200 back in 2015.
00:56:20.360 Do you even
00:56:21.080 remember how old
00:56:21.960 you were back
00:56:22.920 in 2015?
00:56:24.100 Ancient history.
00:56:25.480 And his
00:56:25.820 failings are not
00:56:26.420 LeBron's fault.
00:56:27.220 He makes everyone
00:56:27.780 around him better.
00:56:31.020 You know, Jeff
00:56:31.460 Green averaged
00:56:32.040 over 17 points
00:56:33.260 a game.
00:56:34.080 That was a couple
00:56:34.760 years ago though
00:56:35.460 too, and that's
00:56:36.040 certainly his
00:56:36.700 performance is not
00:56:37.340 LeBron's fault.
00:56:37.960 He makes everyone
00:56:38.400 around him better.
00:56:39.960 Rodney Hood was
00:56:40.600 averaging 17 points
00:56:41.780 a game this season
00:56:42.860 until he came with
00:56:43.960 LeBron, but that's
00:56:46.680 not LeBron's fault.
00:56:47.380 He makes everyone
00:56:47.940 around him better.
00:56:50.360 And J.R.
00:56:51.080 Smith averaged
00:56:51.660 18 points a game
00:56:52.620 in a season for
00:56:53.080 the NBA.
00:56:53.500 Remember that?
00:56:54.800 But he's total
00:56:55.480 junk too.
00:56:56.080 I mean, did you
00:56:56.480 see that play?
00:56:57.520 He forgot the
00:56:58.740 score.
00:56:59.780 He delayed a
00:57:00.540 final shot by a
00:57:01.460 couple of seconds
00:57:02.060 in an important
00:57:02.720 game, which
00:57:03.240 totally justified
00:57:04.260 LeBron doing
00:57:05.180 nothing in overtime
00:57:05.940 of that game.
00:57:07.080 Sure, I'm leaving
00:57:07.820 out the fact that
00:57:08.420 it was one of the
00:57:08.900 greatest plays.
00:57:09.840 I mean, he really
00:57:10.300 played one of the
00:57:10.800 greatest games I've
00:57:11.380 ever seen him play,
00:57:12.040 but still, if they
00:57:13.800 had won that game,
00:57:14.900 they may have
00:57:17.520 only lost that
00:57:18.080 series in five
00:57:18.700 games instead of
00:57:19.220 four, which would
00:57:19.860 have been incredible.
00:57:22.380 Remember, LeBron
00:57:23.940 makes everyone
00:57:24.660 around him better.
00:57:28.280 By the way, in
00:57:29.500 their first 15
00:57:30.420 seasons, Jordan
00:57:31.780 played, Michael
00:57:32.540 Jordan played with
00:57:33.180 an all-star six
00:57:34.020 times.
00:57:35.240 It was Scottie
00:57:35.980 Pippen all six
00:57:36.540 times.
00:57:37.200 LeBron played with
00:57:38.240 14 all-stars.
00:57:39.960 So the fact that
00:57:41.400 he has never played
00:57:42.200 with anybody makes
00:57:42.860 no sense.
00:57:43.820 He's played with
00:57:44.280 13 players that
00:57:45.500 have made an
00:57:45.980 all-star team at
00:57:47.040 some point in
00:57:47.580 their career,
00:57:48.000 including six
00:57:48.740 future Hall of
00:57:49.400 Famers.
00:57:50.360 But please, give
00:57:51.380 the man some
00:57:52.220 help, Cleveland.
00:57:53.180 What is wrong
00:57:53.960 with you?
00:57:56.340 And this follows,
00:57:57.480 by the way, a
00:57:59.000 long-term approach
00:58:01.140 of LeBron James
00:58:02.100 to leave the
00:58:03.660 situation that he's
00:58:05.680 in for something
00:58:06.600 that personally
00:58:07.480 benefits him.
00:58:09.020 Now, in our
00:58:09.640 capitalist society,
00:58:10.940 that is a
00:58:11.840 wonderful thing
00:58:12.680 that I, I
00:58:13.880 treasure.
00:58:16.600 But LeBron, as
00:58:17.680 the Hillary Clinton
00:58:18.380 supporter, doesn't
00:58:19.180 exactly, I don't
00:58:21.100 know.
00:58:21.540 I don't give him
00:58:22.120 quite as much
00:58:22.800 leeway there.
00:58:25.700 LeBron leaves
00:58:26.660 his team when he
00:58:28.120 believes there is a
00:58:28.940 better situation for
00:58:29.820 LeBron somewhere
00:58:30.640 else.
00:58:32.460 Remember, he left
00:58:33.340 the Cavs, who
00:58:34.260 were coming off the
00:58:35.080 best record in the
00:58:36.180 NBA, to go to
00:58:37.840 Miami.
00:58:38.300 Everybody remembers
00:58:38.960 that.
00:58:39.640 But what people
00:58:40.620 don't look at is
00:58:42.100 he did the same
00:58:42.860 thing when he left
00:58:43.700 Miami to come back
00:58:44.680 to Cleveland.
00:58:46.300 Yeah, it was his
00:58:47.120 hometown, and that
00:58:48.080 had maybe something
00:58:48.820 to do with it, but
00:58:49.760 it was an objectively
00:58:50.580 better situation he
00:58:51.880 was going into.
00:58:53.260 Instead of flailing
00:58:54.220 around for a few
00:58:54.900 more years with
00:58:55.420 Bosh and Wade and
00:58:56.380 full collapse, he
00:58:57.180 got Kyrie Irving
00:58:58.180 and the number one
00:58:59.080 overall pick in the
00:58:59.980 draft, which an
00:59:02.240 impatient LeBron
00:59:03.260 forced the team to
00:59:04.080 trade for Kevin
00:59:05.340 Love, who everyone
00:59:06.340 complains about now,
00:59:07.220 who they could
00:59:08.920 have had as a
00:59:09.320 free agent a year
00:59:09.920 later.
00:59:10.240 And now, after
00:59:11.940 finals loss number
00:59:13.160 six, it's time to
00:59:15.120 run away, to find a
00:59:16.740 better situation again
00:59:18.220 for LeBron.
00:59:19.680 The only difference
00:59:20.380 between his move to
00:59:21.780 Miami and his move
00:59:22.600 back to Cleveland was
00:59:23.580 the PR.
00:59:23.980 He brought his talents
00:59:27.740 to South Beach, and
00:59:29.860 then he's coming
00:59:30.760 home to Cleveland.
00:59:34.960 Notice how each time
00:59:36.380 he moves somewhere,
00:59:37.900 the attention to it
00:59:38.880 drops?
00:59:40.220 It was this big
00:59:40.940 festival on TV the
00:59:42.300 first time.
00:59:43.060 Then it was this
00:59:43.660 wonderful, heartwarming
00:59:44.760 letter.
00:59:45.060 Now he's just like on
00:59:45.640 Instagram.
00:59:47.140 Yeah, going to L.A.
00:59:48.540 See you there.
00:59:50.340 Look, he obviously
00:59:51.020 wants to go and
00:59:52.040 increase his future
00:59:54.360 earnings when it
00:59:55.080 comes to television
00:59:56.320 and movies, and he
00:59:57.800 has every right to do
00:59:58.680 that.
01:00:00.500 LeBron James is
01:00:01.280 probably going to end
01:00:02.300 up as a top ten
01:00:03.340 player of all time.
01:00:05.660 And he has every
01:00:06.820 right to chase the
01:00:08.300 glamour and the
01:00:09.560 attention that he can
01:00:10.560 get only probably in
01:00:12.080 Los Angeles or maybe
01:00:13.520 New York.
01:00:14.900 He's going to go to
01:00:15.740 Los Angeles, where he
01:00:16.620 may be as high as the
01:00:18.300 fourth best player in
01:00:19.280 franchise history, and
01:00:20.160 that's something that's
01:00:20.780 going to stick out.
01:00:22.040 I mean, sure, maybe
01:00:23.240 it's more like eighth,
01:00:24.700 you know, but people
01:00:25.820 think I'm a LeBron
01:00:26.460 hater, but I'm really
01:00:27.260 not.
01:00:27.620 I mean, I, you know,
01:00:28.460 just because I'm nice,
01:00:29.260 I'm not even counting
01:00:29.980 George Mikan.
01:00:30.840 He was on the, look, he
01:00:31.740 was on the Minneapolis
01:00:32.480 Lakers.
01:00:32.960 I'm not even counting
01:00:33.740 him.
01:00:35.180 But good for LeBron.
01:00:36.540 I will be legitimately
01:00:38.020 happy to see him
01:00:39.000 actually play in
01:00:40.440 something other than
01:00:41.280 the weakest conference
01:00:42.440 in any sport in my
01:00:44.100 lifetime.
01:00:45.280 That will be
01:00:45.940 interesting to see,
01:00:46.880 and I'm willing to
01:00:47.520 see it.
01:00:49.000 When LeBron
01:00:49.720 originally returned to
01:00:50.980 Cleveland, he wrote
01:00:51.520 a letter.
01:00:52.040 Explaining the
01:00:52.680 incredibly, incredibly
01:00:55.440 selfless move he was
01:00:56.620 making, because no one
01:00:57.720 explains how selfless
01:00:59.400 LeBron is better than
01:01:01.100 LeBron.
01:01:02.920 He wrote,
01:01:04.140 I always believed that
01:01:06.080 I'd return to Cleveland
01:01:07.360 and finish my career
01:01:08.700 there.
01:01:09.260 I just didn't know
01:01:10.880 when.
01:01:12.200 Apparently, he still has
01:01:13.160 to get that one
01:01:13.620 scheduled.
01:01:13.980 I guess that's maybe on
01:01:16.020 the schedule for 2025,
01:01:18.200 2026.
01:01:19.080 We'll see.
01:01:19.700 We'll see, Cleveland.
01:01:20.560 You get to find out
01:01:21.180 someday soon.
01:01:23.020 Now, Cleveland will
01:01:24.120 always have this
01:01:24.840 championship that they
01:01:25.660 got, and that's a big,
01:01:27.020 big deal.
01:01:28.460 I, for one,
01:01:30.000 completely understand
01:01:31.340 this as a Philadelphia
01:01:32.480 Eagles fan.
01:01:33.840 Quite honestly,
01:01:35.120 Nick Foles could join
01:01:36.340 ISIS tomorrow, and all
01:01:37.640 I'd want to do is give
01:01:38.380 him a hug.
01:01:39.100 So, I get it.
01:01:40.660 I get how much,
01:01:42.420 you're never going to
01:01:43.100 lose a connection if
01:01:43.960 you're Cleveland to
01:01:44.640 LeBron James.
01:01:46.320 But, let's be honest,
01:01:48.220 LeBron isn't, isn't,
01:01:49.940 it's not about Cleveland
01:01:51.340 with LeBron.
01:01:52.160 It's not about going
01:01:52.920 home.
01:01:54.360 Whether it's for a
01:01:55.360 better team, or more
01:01:57.180 glitz, or warmer
01:01:58.800 weather, or a few extra
01:02:00.620 dollars, which always
01:02:01.860 need to be maximized.
01:02:03.940 LeBron is, and always
01:02:06.040 is, about LeBron.
01:02:08.820 It's Stu in for Glenn
01:02:11.460 on the Glenn Beck
01:02:11.940 program, taking a couple
01:02:13.400 of different vantage
01:02:15.080 points here to look at
01:02:17.200 the Trump administration
01:02:18.140 and how it's operating.
01:02:20.180 First of all, let's go
01:02:21.940 to Maxine Waters.
01:02:24.100 Maxine Waters, who, of
01:02:25.600 course, is, you may know
01:02:27.160 her as the insane
01:02:28.000 congresswoman, who
01:02:29.900 recently called for
01:02:31.280 people to harass Trump
01:02:33.700 administration employees
01:02:34.880 in the street, at
01:02:35.940 restaurants, and at
01:02:36.660 gasoline stations.
01:02:37.760 Republicans, as she
01:02:38.980 called them.
01:02:40.760 Because, you know, the
01:02:41.960 Trump administration is
01:02:42.920 also evil, and people
01:02:44.380 like Sarah Huckabee
01:02:45.160 Sanders deserve to get
01:02:46.400 harassed.
01:02:47.500 Because it's always okay
01:02:48.420 for a Democratic woman
01:02:49.500 to say, hey, go ahead,
01:02:51.420 go on out and harass a
01:02:52.820 bunch of women.
01:02:53.580 That's fine with me.
01:02:56.080 Here is Maxine Waters now
01:02:57.440 talking about Nancy
01:02:59.480 Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
01:03:00.760 I'm going to get, and I'm
01:03:02.040 not intimidated by him.
01:03:03.580 I think he does not
01:03:04.840 deserve to be the
01:03:05.980 president of the United
01:03:06.960 States, and I simply
01:03:08.320 stand up to him.
01:03:09.840 And so he'll keep doing
01:03:10.920 that, as he has done
01:03:12.780 throughout this limited
01:03:14.080 career of his.
01:03:15.100 And I'm going to get on
01:03:17.000 with talking about what
01:03:19.420 we as Democrats are doing
01:03:20.940 to deal with the most
01:03:22.420 important issues of our
01:03:24.100 times, important issues
01:03:25.820 that we need to be focused
01:03:27.020 on.
01:03:27.400 And providing the kind
01:03:29.380 of public policy that
01:03:30.760 will help create housing
01:03:31.980 in this country.
01:03:33.260 We have a housing crisis
01:03:34.440 that will try and protect
01:03:35.920 Obamacare, the ACA that
01:03:37.920 they're trying to tear down
01:03:39.120 every day, that will deal
01:03:40.880 with infrastructure so that
01:03:43.060 we can create jobs.
01:03:44.280 We can walk and chew gum
01:03:45.900 at the same time.
01:03:47.080 I can defend against him,
01:03:49.320 and I can promote good
01:03:51.440 public policy.
01:03:52.560 I intend to do that.
01:03:54.120 And let him call me
01:03:55.220 whatever he wants to call
01:03:56.400 me.
01:03:56.580 Let him say whatever
01:03:57.660 he wants to say.
01:03:58.760 He will not stop me.
01:04:00.380 He cannot cause me to
01:04:02.200 shut down.
01:04:03.220 That's what they would
01:04:03.860 like to do.
01:04:04.660 They want me to run away.
01:04:06.320 They want me to stop
01:04:07.100 talking.
01:04:07.980 They want me to be quiet.
01:04:09.340 But he can't do that to
01:04:10.400 me.
01:04:10.600 I won't stand for it.
01:04:11.740 And not only did you have
01:04:13.160 that, you know, the right
01:04:14.760 came after you, but you
01:04:16.060 had even the leadership of
01:04:17.160 the Democratic Party, Nancy
01:04:18.080 Pelosi.
01:04:18.860 Were you surprised to have
01:04:20.060 the leadership of your own
01:04:21.140 party come out and
01:04:21.960 essentially call you
01:04:22.620 un-American?
01:04:23.260 Uh-oh.
01:04:23.500 Well, you know, I was
01:04:25.280 surprised that Chuck
01:04:26.500 Schumer, you know, reached
01:04:27.920 into the other house to do
01:04:29.340 that.
01:04:29.940 I've not quite seen that
01:04:31.200 done before, but one of the
01:04:33.180 things I recognize being an
01:04:34.720 elected official is in the
01:04:36.480 final analysis, you know,
01:04:38.760 leadership like Chuck Schumer's
01:04:40.560 will do anything that they
01:04:42.300 think is necessary to protect
01:04:43.840 their leadership.
01:04:44.920 And so what I have to do is
01:04:47.080 not focus on them.
01:04:48.200 Yeah, that's what you need
01:04:50.160 to do.
01:04:50.860 Here's a, you know, again,
01:04:52.320 attempting to make herself the
01:04:54.220 victim after she's called for
01:04:55.800 the harassment of public
01:04:57.580 officials.
01:04:58.880 She's the victim.
01:04:59.900 She's just trying to do the
01:05:00.900 right thing.
01:05:01.940 And the darn Trump
01:05:03.300 administration, darn you, is
01:05:06.080 trying to stop her from doing
01:05:07.360 her thing.
01:05:07.940 So there's one view.
01:05:08.840 Complete failure.
01:05:09.760 Failure on housing,
01:05:10.640 infrastructure, Obamacare.
01:05:13.840 You know, she calls out Trump
01:05:15.220 for having a limited career.
01:05:16.420 Maybe that's a good thing.
01:05:18.200 Maybe politicians' careers
01:05:19.660 should be limited.
01:05:22.880 Got a little proposal called
01:05:24.260 term limits I'd like you to
01:05:25.380 take a look at, but we'll get
01:05:26.280 to that in a second.
01:05:27.340 Here's the other side.
01:05:28.760 From the African American
01:05:29.960 community as well, a man named
01:05:31.540 Henry Davis uploads a video
01:05:34.040 of himself talking about the
01:05:36.660 state of the economy for him.
01:05:39.900 I was just sitting here watching
01:05:41.380 President Trump talking about
01:05:45.700 Foxconn and explaining all of the
01:05:48.900 things that he's doing for
01:05:51.100 America.
01:05:55.580 And he had this black lady
01:05:57.400 come up there and give a little
01:06:00.380 speech about how her life has
01:06:05.020 changed because of some of his
01:06:07.820 accomplishments and whatnot.
01:06:09.160 And I'm just so proud.
01:06:15.280 I'm just proud to be an American,
01:06:17.480 you know.
01:06:18.860 And again, Barack Obama,
01:06:20.500 I respected the office.
01:06:21.940 I respected the fact that he was
01:06:24.640 the president, but
01:06:25.620 ain't nobody like Trump, man.
01:06:29.460 If you want to work,
01:06:31.680 it's jobs out here.
01:06:33.560 And I'm literally like,
01:06:34.740 I'm just crying because
01:06:36.260 because I'm just
01:06:38.020 I'm like, it's just
01:06:40.120 it's just a good time to be alive
01:06:42.400 and to be able to witness
01:06:44.720 what's really going on.
01:06:46.800 And we got a chance.
01:06:48.560 I'm just talking about from a
01:06:49.920 black perspective.
01:06:51.540 If you really want to work
01:06:53.440 and get up off your ass and do
01:06:55.940 something, you can do it.
01:06:59.820 I just thank God for President
01:07:01.680 Trump.
01:07:02.160 You know, I ain't never met the
01:07:03.340 man. I don't know the man,
01:07:04.720 but I'm just talking about
01:07:05.980 what he doing for our country
01:07:08.160 and what he doing for our
01:07:10.020 people.
01:07:11.980 Black people working,
01:07:13.320 you know what I'm saying?
01:07:14.120 Jobs is coming back.
01:07:15.460 Factories is opening up.
01:07:17.340 You know,
01:07:19.040 he helping with the drug
01:07:21.060 epidemic and all that.
01:07:22.360 It's just a
01:07:22.980 it's just a beautiful time
01:07:24.900 to be alive, y'all.
01:07:25.940 Y'all got to excuse me,
01:07:27.040 but I'm wearing my
01:07:28.440 feelings on my shoulder
01:07:29.720 right now.
01:07:30.340 And I'm just happy
01:07:31.060 to be an American
01:07:32.520 where at least I know
01:07:33.880 I'm free.
01:07:35.600 Go Trump
01:07:36.640 and cry.
01:07:40.420 So there you go.
01:07:45.880 Two
01:07:46.320 perspectives,
01:07:48.340 both from the African
01:07:49.740 American community.
01:07:53.440 One of which will be
01:07:54.620 completely ignored.
01:07:58.840 And the other one will be
01:08:00.040 echoed
01:08:00.700 day after day
01:08:02.420 after day.
01:08:03.080 You know,
01:08:07.360 both of them should have
01:08:08.560 some weight.
01:08:09.760 This is something that's
01:08:10.640 real that's going on.
01:08:11.440 Whether you like Trump's
01:08:12.160 policies or not,
01:08:14.120 the African American
01:08:14.980 unemployment rate is as low
01:08:17.060 as it's ever been.
01:08:18.760 And that's something to
01:08:19.600 celebrate.
01:08:20.240 You'd think the left would
01:08:21.400 want to celebrate that
01:08:22.200 whether it was their
01:08:23.020 policies,
01:08:24.060 whether they want to say
01:08:24.900 it was actually Barack
01:08:25.860 Obama who did all of this,
01:08:27.260 whatever you want to say.
01:08:29.440 At the very least,
01:08:30.880 shouldn't you be thrilled
01:08:31.880 by these developments?
01:08:34.440 These are good moves
01:08:35.620 in the right direction.
01:08:37.080 And when it comes down
01:08:38.020 to real people who are
01:08:39.000 actually living it,
01:08:40.640 they're feeling a lot of that.
01:08:44.580 And it's something that
01:08:45.580 you'd think the media
01:08:46.640 would want to highlight
01:08:47.520 in a different world.
01:08:49.980 But no,
01:08:51.640 it'll be Maxine Waters
01:08:52.680 on television
01:08:53.340 every day
01:08:54.440 telling you the exact
01:08:56.100 opposite
01:08:56.540 about how she needs
01:08:58.660 to be there to protect
01:08:59.800 that very worker
01:09:01.620 Henry Davis.
01:09:04.760 I don't think
01:09:05.720 there's a lot of protection
01:09:06.660 going on there.
01:09:07.360 The government
01:09:07.740 is not here to help.
01:09:10.120 Back with more in a second.
01:09:11.180 It's Stu in for Glenn
01:09:12.040 on the Glenn Beck program.
01:09:15.360 Keep an ear day.
01:09:16.040 Glenn Beck.
01:09:20.020 Breaking news
01:09:20.780 in the world
01:09:21.380 of international trade
01:09:23.380 as the Mexican
01:09:24.320 president has been elected,
01:09:26.480 a socialist,
01:09:28.200 and he's going
01:09:29.220 to up the battle
01:09:30.200 on what we are seeing
01:09:31.800 with tariffs
01:09:32.420 around the world.
01:09:34.100 Axios has obtained
01:09:35.340 a leaked draft
01:09:35.960 of a Trump administration
01:09:36.980 bill ordered
01:09:37.700 by the president himself
01:09:38.740 that would declare
01:09:39.420 America's abandonment
01:09:40.580 of fundamental
01:09:41.260 World Trade Organization
01:09:42.360 rules.
01:09:43.020 The draft legislation
01:09:45.320 is stunning.
01:09:46.340 The bill essentially
01:09:47.140 provides Trump
01:09:47.900 a license to raise
01:09:49.080 U.S. tariffs
01:09:49.840 at will
01:09:50.460 without congressional
01:09:51.960 consent
01:09:52.460 and international
01:09:53.260 rules be damned.
01:09:54.980 The details,
01:09:56.320 the bill titled
01:09:57.340 the United States
01:09:58.420 Fair and Reciprocal
01:10:00.300 Tariff Act
01:10:01.200 or FART,
01:10:02.700 would give Trump
01:10:03.540 unilateral power
01:10:04.660 to ignore
01:10:05.320 the two most basic
01:10:06.840 principles of WTO
01:10:08.380 and negotiate
01:10:09.040 one-on-one
01:10:09.800 with any country,
01:10:10.720 key parts
01:10:13.080 of this bill.
01:10:13.960 The most favored
01:10:14.560 nation principle
01:10:15.420 that countries
01:10:15.960 can't set
01:10:16.540 different tariff rates
01:10:17.560 for different countries
01:10:18.240 outside of free trade
01:10:19.040 agreements
01:10:19.400 and bound tariff rates,
01:10:21.680 the tariff ceilings
01:10:22.800 that go
01:10:23.780 to each WTO country,
01:10:27.020 it's a World Trade
01:10:27.460 Organization,
01:10:28.780 if they've already
01:10:29.540 agreed into
01:10:30.140 previous negotiations.
01:10:31.560 Now,
01:10:31.800 FART would be
01:10:32.360 the equivalent
01:10:32.840 of walking away
01:10:34.200 from the WTO
01:10:35.240 and our commitments
01:10:35.940 there without us
01:10:36.960 actually notifying
01:10:38.060 our withdrawals
01:10:39.540 at a source
01:10:40.000 familiar with the bill.
01:10:42.260 Good news is
01:10:43.100 that Congress
01:10:43.620 would never give
01:10:44.680 this authority
01:10:45.260 to the President,
01:10:46.060 the source added,
01:10:47.060 describing the FART Act
01:10:48.240 as insane.
01:10:52.320 FART is not
01:10:53.440 implementable
01:10:54.200 at the border
01:10:54.940 given FART
01:10:56.640 would create
01:10:57.080 potentially tens
01:10:57.980 of thousands
01:10:58.640 of new tariffs
01:11:01.300 on products
01:11:02.140 and FART
01:11:04.980 would completely
01:11:05.660 remove us
01:11:06.400 from the set
01:11:07.560 of global trade rules,
01:11:08.720 which is a big deal.
01:11:10.100 Behind the scenes,
01:11:10.800 Trump was briefed
01:11:18.220 on FART
01:11:18.580 in late May,
01:11:19.860 according to sources
01:11:20.660 familiar with the
01:11:21.460 FART situation.
01:11:24.000 Most officials
01:11:24.880 involved in FART's
01:11:26.000 drafting,
01:11:26.680 with the notable
01:11:27.200 exception of
01:11:27.840 hardline trade advisor
01:11:28.940 Peter Navarro,
01:11:29.800 think that FART
01:11:30.360 is unrealistic
01:11:31.120 or unworkable.
01:11:33.760 USTR,
01:11:34.420 Commerce,
01:11:34.820 and the White House
01:11:35.400 are involved
01:11:36.400 in all of the
01:11:37.600 elements of FART.
01:11:39.540 Now,
01:11:40.220 the FART Act
01:11:40.760 is,
01:11:41.280 it's big time,
01:11:44.160 it's raising the stakes
01:11:45.120 here in the world
01:11:45.880 of trade.
01:11:46.640 In the White House
01:11:47.140 meeting to discuss
01:11:48.060 FART earlier this year,
01:11:50.580 Legislative Affairs
01:11:51.360 Director Mark Short
01:11:52.200 bluntly told Navarro
01:11:53.480 that the FART Act
01:11:54.700 was dead on arrival
01:11:56.000 and would receive
01:11:56.680 zero support
01:11:57.580 on Capitol Hill,
01:11:58.440 according to sources
01:11:59.080 familiar with the exchange.
01:12:00.280 Navarro replied to Short
01:12:03.800 that he thought
01:12:04.600 that FART would get
01:12:05.760 plenty of support,
01:12:07.460 particularly from
01:12:08.400 Democrats,
01:12:09.600 but Short told Navarro
01:12:10.900 he didn't think
01:12:11.580 Democrats were in
01:12:12.680 much of a mood
01:12:13.380 to hand over
01:12:13.980 more authority
01:12:14.780 to Trump,
01:12:15.420 even for FART.
01:12:19.540 Spokeswoman
01:12:20.060 Lindsay Waters
01:12:20.840 at the White House
01:12:21.520 said it is no secret
01:12:22.660 that POTUS
01:12:23.320 had frustrations
01:12:24.240 with the unfair
01:12:25.100 imbalance of tariffs
01:12:26.240 that put the US
01:12:27.540 at a disadvantage.
01:12:28.440 He has asked his team
01:12:30.120 to develop FART
01:12:31.040 to remedy this situation
01:12:33.780 and create incentives
01:12:34.840 for countries
01:12:35.800 to lower their tariffs,
01:12:36.820 which is, you know,
01:12:37.360 it's an important concept.
01:12:39.340 The current system
01:12:40.320 gives the US
01:12:41.000 no leverage
01:12:41.680 and other countries
01:12:42.460 no incentive,
01:12:43.700 and that's why
01:12:44.560 the administration
01:12:45.160 believes we need FART.
01:12:50.840 Walters, however,
01:12:51.840 signaled that
01:12:52.380 we should not make
01:12:53.500 this FART bill
01:12:54.660 an act as if
01:12:56.840 it's anything
01:12:57.300 like a done deal.
01:12:58.440 The only way
01:12:59.160 that this would be news
01:13:00.120 is if the FART Act
01:13:01.600 were actual legislation
01:13:03.040 that the administration
01:13:04.020 was preparing
01:13:04.820 to roll out,
01:13:05.780 but it's not.
01:13:07.120 She was referring
01:13:07.660 to the FART Act.
01:13:10.320 Principals have not
01:13:11.060 even met to review
01:13:11.980 any text of FART
01:13:13.280 on reciprocal trade,
01:13:14.900 and that's an important
01:13:15.520 part of this story.
01:13:16.500 A lot of people
01:13:16.920 are going to get down
01:13:17.380 the road and think,
01:13:18.540 hey, this is a done deal.
01:13:19.980 It's not at this point.
01:13:22.040 And you need to note,
01:13:23.180 as Axios points out,
01:13:24.180 the specificity
01:13:25.380 of Walters' quote,
01:13:26.740 Trump directly
01:13:28.700 requested FART
01:13:29.920 and was verbally
01:13:31.680 briefed on FART
01:13:33.000 in May,
01:13:34.840 but he has not
01:13:38.200 met with the principles
01:13:39.160 to review
01:13:39.860 the FART yet.
01:13:42.140 This is an important
01:13:43.180 part of this.
01:13:45.420 The bottom line,
01:13:48.680 as a smart trade watcher
01:13:50.020 told Axios,
01:13:51.880 quote,
01:13:52.220 the Trump administration
01:13:53.300 should be more worried
01:13:54.520 about not having
01:13:55.180 their current authority
01:13:56.300 restricted
01:13:57.040 rather than expanding
01:13:58.900 authority
01:13:59.480 as the FART Act
01:14:00.940 would do.
01:14:03.740 And apparently,
01:14:04.880 they are going out
01:14:06.540 on a limb here
01:14:07.100 to make sure
01:14:07.780 they send the message
01:14:09.280 that the administration
01:14:11.520 should hold
01:14:12.100 the FART in.
01:14:12.700 And as someone
01:14:15.340 who really cares
01:14:16.060 about free trade,
01:14:17.120 the United States
01:14:19.240 Fair and Reciprocal
01:14:20.180 Tariff Act
01:14:21.080 or FART
01:14:21.600 to me
01:14:23.820 is not the right
01:14:24.620 direction to go
01:14:25.280 for this country.
01:14:27.100 You know,
01:14:27.540 I know there's a lot
01:14:28.020 of disagreement
01:14:28.420 on tariffs,
01:14:29.200 but really,
01:14:29.720 you're going to go,
01:14:30.120 I mean,
01:14:31.820 I just don't think,
01:14:34.620 I don't think FART
01:14:35.780 is the right answer
01:14:37.680 for our economy
01:14:38.760 at this time.
01:14:39.300 We've made so much progress
01:14:40.380 and then we're going
01:14:41.580 to go FART
01:14:42.560 and then it's going
01:14:44.020 to be all reversed.
01:14:45.580 I mean,
01:14:45.820 FART would knock out
01:14:47.020 all the good things
01:14:47.800 that happened
01:14:48.320 with the tax bill,
01:14:51.060 I think.
01:14:52.240 You know,
01:14:52.620 you're talking about
01:14:53.280 tens of thousands
01:14:54.080 of tariffs.
01:14:54.920 People are going to,
01:14:55.560 FART will become
01:14:56.880 a bad word.
01:14:58.580 People will think
01:14:59.260 of FART
01:14:59.660 and think negative things.
01:15:02.020 Is that what we want
01:15:02.980 out of this country?
01:15:06.420 I don't think
01:15:07.060 it's appropriate
01:15:07.600 at all.
01:15:10.380 And I hope that,
01:15:11.160 you know,
01:15:11.580 you will maybe
01:15:13.900 take a moment
01:15:14.500 and call the White House
01:15:15.500 and say,
01:15:17.300 hold the FART in.
01:15:20.520 Because what we need
01:15:21.620 in this country
01:15:22.120 is not another FART.
01:15:23.240 We need free trade.
01:15:25.680 We need capitalist principles.
01:15:28.000 We need low regulation.
01:15:29.320 This is understood
01:15:30.040 throughout the rest
01:15:30.760 of the economy.
01:15:31.540 It doesn't seem
01:15:31.960 to be understood
01:15:32.480 on the borders
01:15:33.020 and that's why
01:15:33.600 FART isn't the answer.
01:15:34.600 You know,
01:15:37.280 it might make sense
01:15:38.680 to think that
01:15:39.340 if you pass FART,
01:15:42.660 you'd be able
01:15:43.340 to keep people
01:15:44.120 out of,
01:15:45.280 you know,
01:15:45.580 maybe you'd
01:15:46.140 slow down
01:15:47.280 the influx
01:15:47.940 of various trade
01:15:49.600 malfeasance.
01:15:51.960 But I don't think
01:15:52.480 that's the way
01:15:52.800 this is going to go.
01:15:54.480 And I hope
01:15:55.340 you'll call
01:15:55.760 the White House
01:15:56.860 today.
01:15:58.380 Just let them know,
01:15:59.020 you know,
01:15:59.160 FART's not the answer,
01:16:00.020 guys.
01:16:02.220 FART is not the answer.
01:16:03.260 Hold the FART in.
01:16:07.460 I know we go
01:16:08.300 a little bit,
01:16:08.860 a lot of people
01:16:09.400 don't like to go
01:16:09.880 too much into depth
01:16:11.000 on trade policy,
01:16:13.020 but I felt like
01:16:13.760 it was important today.
01:16:15.520 And I appreciate
01:16:16.740 you allowing me
01:16:17.640 the leeway
01:16:19.200 to do that.
01:16:22.040 If you want
01:16:22.560 to talk about FART,
01:16:23.460 our number is
01:16:23.860 888-727-BECK.
01:16:27.180 It's Stu
01:16:27.660 quite clearly
01:16:28.560 filling in
01:16:29.240 for Glenn Beck
01:16:30.440 on the Glenn Beck
01:16:30.960 program.
01:16:33.260 On Twitter,
01:16:35.120 at worldofstew
01:16:36.100 is where you can
01:16:36.740 tweet to me.
01:16:37.280 A lot of people
01:16:37.660 commenting on
01:16:38.580 the FART Act,
01:16:39.320 whether they want
01:16:39.800 it to pass or not,
01:16:40.860 the Fair and Reciprocal
01:16:41.760 Trade Act.
01:16:44.720 Hashtag
01:16:45.120 don't pass the fart,
01:16:47.220 hold the fart in.
01:16:49.460 These are
01:16:49.860 really important things
01:16:52.820 because, look,
01:16:53.460 free trade's important
01:16:54.220 and there's not
01:16:55.040 enough discussion.
01:16:55.920 It's an uncomfortable
01:16:56.420 topic sometimes
01:16:57.300 on conservative radio
01:16:58.220 these days.
01:16:59.260 A lot of people
01:16:59.900 don't want to talk
01:17:00.440 about FART
01:17:00.900 and what happens
01:17:02.600 with it.
01:17:03.360 People don't
01:17:03.860 want to know.
01:17:05.920 And, you know,
01:17:07.440 it stinks.
01:17:10.540 It stinks.
01:17:11.840 And a lot of people
01:17:12.360 are tweeting
01:17:12.700 that exact phrase
01:17:13.680 about FART.
01:17:15.460 It stinks.
01:17:18.540 So I'm
01:17:19.360 trying to get
01:17:21.400 a movement
01:17:21.740 started here
01:17:22.400 because, you know,
01:17:23.540 you've heard me
01:17:24.420 on the show
01:17:24.780 before talking
01:17:25.380 about free trade.
01:17:26.040 I think it's
01:17:26.280 really important.
01:17:28.700 It's really important
01:17:29.820 that we don't have
01:17:30.380 extra tariffs
01:17:31.120 on products
01:17:31.840 coming into the
01:17:32.380 country.
01:17:32.660 I don't think
01:17:32.960 that's a good idea
01:17:33.680 and that's why
01:17:34.560 I oppose FART.
01:17:36.820 That's why I do it.
01:17:40.360 By the way,
01:17:41.260 in a move
01:17:43.600 that comes
01:17:44.640 directly from
01:17:45.620 Satan,
01:17:47.740 McDonald's
01:17:48.560 in the UK
01:17:49.280 has decided
01:17:50.380 to ban
01:17:51.620 plastic straws.
01:17:53.420 and what will
01:17:55.620 they go to?
01:17:57.800 You may have
01:17:58.700 seen them before
01:18:00.160 if you've ever
01:18:00.680 visited the
01:18:01.420 seventh level
01:18:02.160 of hell,
01:18:03.140 the paper
01:18:03.980 straw.
01:18:05.220 There is
01:18:05.900 nothing on
01:18:06.860 this earth,
01:18:08.060 even FART,
01:18:10.040 that is worse
01:18:10.840 than the paper
01:18:11.540 straw.
01:18:14.060 The paper straw.
01:18:14.820 Have you ever,
01:18:15.700 has anyone
01:18:16.600 at a restaurant
01:18:18.780 who thinks
01:18:19.300 paper straws
01:18:20.000 are a good idea
01:18:20.500 ever had to
01:18:21.500 take a drink
01:18:22.340 out of a
01:18:22.900 paper straw?
01:18:25.020 Here's the thing
01:18:25.880 with paper.
01:18:26.680 When you put
01:18:27.340 fluid on it,
01:18:29.160 it, like,
01:18:30.460 it gets wet
01:18:31.640 and it crumples
01:18:33.360 and then it gets,
01:18:35.000 pieces of the paper
01:18:36.520 come off in your
01:18:37.620 mouth while you're
01:18:38.400 drinking?
01:18:40.020 It is the worst
01:18:41.740 thing humanity
01:18:42.820 has ever done,
01:18:44.660 give or take a
01:18:45.340 couple things.
01:18:45.840 There's a couple
01:18:47.640 things in there
01:18:48.400 that maybe you'd
01:18:49.680 put in this,
01:18:50.240 in this group.
01:18:51.440 All 1,361
01:18:53.120 McDonald's
01:18:53.580 restaurants in
01:18:54.040 the UK and
01:18:54.700 Ireland,
01:18:55.620 this is the way,
01:18:57.520 you can tell this
01:18:57.940 is a UK story,
01:18:59.420 will benefit from
01:19:00.460 the new anti-plastic
01:19:01.740 straw policy.
01:19:02.820 Benefit?
01:19:05.420 That doesn't
01:19:06.100 make any sense.
01:19:07.520 It is the worst,
01:19:08.380 literally designed
01:19:10.380 by Satan.
01:19:12.020 The paper straw.
01:19:14.520 By the way,
01:19:15.340 new developments
01:19:16.540 in the world
01:19:17.020 of soda taxes,
01:19:18.300 and you know,
01:19:18.820 if I'm going to
01:19:19.180 fill in,
01:19:19.800 Stu, by the way,
01:19:20.580 on the Glenn
01:19:22.780 Buck program,
01:19:23.840 you know I'm going
01:19:24.360 to talk about
01:19:24.700 sugar taxes
01:19:25.860 because I hate
01:19:26.600 them so much.
01:19:27.520 The soda tax
01:19:28.220 was passing
01:19:28.980 all over California
01:19:29.880 in city after
01:19:30.840 city after city
01:19:31.600 and the beverage
01:19:32.520 industry has tried
01:19:33.360 a new approach.
01:19:34.600 Instead of fighting
01:19:35.260 the ordinances
01:19:35.900 city by city,
01:19:37.380 it is turning
01:19:37.920 to the states
01:19:38.840 trying to pass
01:19:40.260 laws preventing
01:19:41.120 any local governments
01:19:42.240 from taxing
01:19:42.960 their products.
01:19:44.520 This is kind
01:19:47.040 of an interesting
01:19:47.620 development
01:19:48.120 because it's
01:19:51.260 sort of progressivism
01:19:52.460 eating its own
01:19:53.440 or in this case
01:19:54.060 maybe drinking
01:19:54.620 its own
01:19:55.080 because here it is
01:19:56.840 the approach
01:19:57.740 that the left
01:19:58.400 takes all the time.
01:20:00.540 They always try
01:20:01.860 to get things
01:20:02.580 out of the local
01:20:03.480 and into the state
01:20:04.720 and then into the federal.
01:20:06.040 They always try
01:20:06.900 to get the power
01:20:07.700 higher up
01:20:08.460 and centralized.
01:20:09.100 They always try
01:20:11.540 to escalate
01:20:12.320 things in this way.
01:20:13.700 So here's
01:20:14.100 their new
01:20:14.480 fancy tax.
01:20:15.460 They want to
01:20:15.920 tax people
01:20:16.480 who like soda
01:20:17.300 and now
01:20:19.780 they're just
01:20:20.060 going straight
01:20:20.620 the soda companies
01:20:21.360 are like alright
01:20:21.800 we'll just go
01:20:22.260 to the states.
01:20:23.300 We'll go to the states
01:20:24.040 and get soda taxes
01:20:25.560 banned there
01:20:26.420 and that is
01:20:27.800 apparently what
01:20:28.460 they're trying
01:20:29.000 to do
01:20:29.520 in California.
01:20:32.580 And California
01:20:33.460 is going along
01:20:34.260 with it because
01:20:34.660 they don't want
01:20:35.040 to deal
01:20:35.380 with the way
01:20:38.160 that the beverage
01:20:39.680 companies are acting
01:20:40.620 and good
01:20:41.280 for Big Beverage.
01:20:42.780 I support you
01:20:43.900 wholeheartedly
01:20:44.860 the exact opposite
01:20:46.800 about how I feel
01:20:47.560 about fart
01:20:48.120 and the fart act.
01:20:52.600 Because that
01:20:53.440 I do not support.
01:20:55.340 Okay?
01:20:56.340 I do not support
01:20:57.440 fart.
01:20:59.700 We're also
01:21:00.600 experiencing
01:21:02.020 apparently
01:21:02.540 the biggest
01:21:03.200 revolution
01:21:03.740 in movie ticket
01:21:04.620 prices
01:21:05.040 in decades.
01:21:06.180 I find this
01:21:06.560 to be fascinating
01:21:07.160 as a proud
01:21:08.300 and loving
01:21:09.480 supporter
01:21:09.960 of MoviePass.
01:21:10.960 If you don't
01:21:11.340 have MoviePass
01:21:12.060 get it
01:21:13.280 while it's still
01:21:13.740 there.
01:21:14.660 Apparently
01:21:15.060 they're having
01:21:15.440 some financial
01:21:15.960 troubles
01:21:16.400 at least
01:21:17.180 according to
01:21:17.600 this article.
01:21:18.480 However
01:21:18.740 what they do
01:21:19.620 is for about
01:21:20.400 what is it
01:21:20.860 10 bucks a month
01:21:21.540 you can go see
01:21:22.460 unlimited movies
01:21:23.340 in the theaters
01:21:24.160 with a
01:21:24.860 and I say
01:21:25.660 unlimited
01:21:26.080 it's not the
01:21:26.760 right word
01:21:27.100 because you know
01:21:27.660 it's limited
01:21:28.280 but the difference
01:21:29.380 is very minor
01:21:30.500 you can't go see
01:21:31.340 like 3D movies
01:21:32.200 you can't go see
01:21:33.100 the same movie
01:21:33.680 twice.
01:21:34.240 There's a couple
01:21:35.380 of restrictions
01:21:35.940 like that
01:21:36.720 but they're
01:21:37.060 pretty minor.
01:21:38.220 You can't
01:21:38.840 really
01:21:39.380 go enough.
01:21:41.380 I mean
01:21:41.560 you're not
01:21:42.620 going to be
01:21:42.860 limited by this
01:21:44.020 by your MoviePass
01:21:45.140 subscription.
01:21:45.820 It's available
01:21:46.360 in basically
01:21:46.920 every single
01:21:47.900 theater in the
01:21:48.500 United States
01:21:49.000 something like
01:21:49.640 90 something
01:21:50.200 percent of
01:21:51.120 theaters
01:21:51.420 and they
01:21:53.120 have a
01:21:53.980 have really
01:21:55.540 now changed
01:21:56.260 whether they
01:21:56.580 succeed or not
01:21:57.500 as a company
01:21:58.260 have changed
01:21:58.920 the way people
01:21:59.540 are buying
01:22:00.060 movie tickets
01:22:00.720 and now
01:22:02.220 a bunch
01:22:02.700 of other
01:22:03.140 theaters
01:22:03.560 are doing
01:22:05.300 subscription
01:22:06.100 plans.
01:22:08.220 AMC has
01:22:08.960 one for
01:22:09.380 20 bucks
01:22:09.900 a month
01:22:10.200 you get
01:22:11.120 three movies
01:22:11.820 per week
01:22:12.300 at its
01:22:12.580 locations.
01:22:13.860 Now look
01:22:14.120 that's not
01:22:14.400 as good
01:22:14.640 as MoviePass
01:22:15.220 but still
01:22:15.700 I'd much
01:22:16.040 rather have
01:22:16.400 that than
01:22:16.760 the old
01:22:17.080 way.
01:22:18.120 I mean
01:22:18.280 the old
01:22:18.580 way was
01:22:19.280 you know
01:22:19.720 it's 10
01:22:20.140 12 bucks
01:22:20.720 a movie
01:22:21.120 and you
01:22:22.480 never wanted
01:22:22.980 to take a
01:22:23.400 chance
01:22:23.800 on a crappy
01:22:24.480 movie.
01:22:25.360 Like if
01:22:25.860 there was
01:22:26.100 a movie
01:22:26.420 that was
01:22:26.720 sort of
01:22:26.960 on the
01:22:27.180 borderline
01:22:27.680 you never
01:22:27.940 wanted to
01:22:28.240 go to it
01:22:28.600 because you
01:22:29.100 walk into
01:22:29.480 the theater
01:22:29.860 you get
01:22:30.160 halfway
01:22:30.400 through
01:22:30.600 you're
01:22:30.720 like
01:22:30.840 I've
01:22:31.160 wasted
01:22:31.480 12 dollars
01:22:32.240 this sucks.
01:22:33.940 You know
01:22:34.540 so you
01:22:35.180 just don't
01:22:35.700 you don't
01:22:36.020 go
01:22:36.280 you stay
01:22:36.640 home.
01:22:38.000 With MoviePass
01:22:38.960 I'll go see
01:22:39.660 all the crap
01:22:40.740 they can churn
01:22:41.260 out in Hollywood
01:22:41.840 and this is a
01:22:43.740 good thing
01:22:44.100 for theaters
01:22:44.640 right?
01:22:45.500 Because I
01:22:46.220 went to
01:22:46.500 take my
01:22:46.840 kids to
01:22:47.440 some
01:22:47.860 kids movie
01:22:48.680 in which
01:22:49.840 I had
01:22:50.240 MoviePass
01:22:50.880 and saved
01:22:52.200 money on
01:22:52.620 the tickets
01:22:53.080 however
01:22:53.640 then I
01:22:53.980 went inside
01:22:54.500 and ate
01:22:54.980 like $60
01:22:55.600 worth of
01:22:56.240 food at
01:22:56.560 the dining
01:22:56.860 theater
01:22:57.160 because I'm
01:22:58.780 um
01:22:59.160 overweight
01:23:00.540 and those
01:23:01.800 are the
01:23:01.940 types of
01:23:02.240 things that
01:23:02.560 I do
01:23:02.860 like most
01:23:03.480 people who
01:23:03.780 go to
01:23:03.960 movies
01:23:04.280 so
01:23:05.920 well I
01:23:07.120 don't know
01:23:07.320 why they
01:23:07.600 wouldn't
01:23:07.820 want this
01:23:08.380 I can
01:23:09.620 say that
01:23:09.900 I know
01:23:10.300 it does
01:23:11.880 encourage you
01:23:12.560 to take
01:23:12.960 chances on
01:23:13.820 movies
01:23:14.140 to take a
01:23:14.920 chance on a
01:23:15.320 movie you
01:23:15.620 think is
01:23:15.920 maybe borderline
01:23:16.700 maybe you
01:23:17.280 think it's
01:23:17.680 there's a
01:23:18.320 part of it
01:23:18.620 that looks
01:23:18.860 interesting
01:23:19.240 but you
01:23:19.500 might walk
01:23:19.900 out in
01:23:20.180 the middle
01:23:20.440 of it
01:23:20.640 if it
01:23:20.860 sucks
01:23:21.160 well you
01:23:21.620 can do
01:23:21.820 that with
01:23:22.200 MoviePass
01:23:22.660 and these
01:23:23.300 new subscription
01:23:23.820 services
01:23:24.340 now I
01:23:25.540 don't know
01:23:25.880 if I
01:23:26.100 would have
01:23:26.340 walked out
01:23:27.020 in The
01:23:28.360 Last Jedi
01:23:28.920 because The
01:23:29.960 Last Jedi
01:23:30.400 I was not
01:23:31.260 a huge fan
01:23:31.860 of it
01:23:32.080 I did
01:23:33.480 see it
01:23:33.880 twice
01:23:34.320 and you
01:23:35.600 say well
01:23:35.960 why would
01:23:36.340 you go see
01:23:36.680 a movie
01:23:36.880 you don't
01:23:37.100 like twice
01:23:37.480 well it's
01:23:37.840 Star Wars
01:23:38.620 right
01:23:39.080 it's a
01:23:39.980 Star Wars
01:23:40.600 sequel
01:23:40.980 and for
01:23:42.180 some reason
01:23:42.840 I feel
01:23:43.300 like I
01:23:43.580 owe it
01:23:43.940 to them
01:23:44.260 to see
01:23:44.600 all their
01:23:44.860 movies
01:23:45.200 even when
01:23:45.900 I don't
01:23:46.080 like them
01:23:46.380 I mean
01:23:46.620 you go
01:23:46.880 through
01:23:47.040 the
01:23:47.220 prequels
01:23:47.660 there
01:23:47.860 wasn't a
01:23:48.720 lot
01:23:48.880 there
01:23:49.180 but you
01:23:50.160 still go
01:23:50.700 to every
01:23:51.060 single one
01:23:51.500 of them
01:23:51.700 which is a
01:23:54.340 I mean
01:23:54.740 it is
01:23:56.140 frankly
01:23:56.920 however
01:23:58.680 Mark Hamill
01:24:02.280 even Mark
01:24:04.540 Hamill
01:24:05.120 didn't seem
01:24:06.200 to like
01:24:06.500 The Last
01:24:06.860 Jedi all
01:24:07.320 that much
01:24:07.800 now spoiler
01:24:09.480 alerts
01:24:09.960 minor here
01:24:10.920 if you
01:24:11.160 haven't seen
01:24:11.660 it but Luke's
01:24:12.300 not exactly
01:24:12.940 the guy
01:24:13.380 you thought
01:24:13.820 he was
01:24:14.380 in the
01:24:16.040 movie
01:24:16.320 here's Mark
01:24:17.280 Hamill
01:24:17.600 talking about
01:24:18.240 his role
01:24:18.900 and how
01:24:19.180 it played
01:24:19.540 out in
01:24:19.920 The Last
01:24:20.220 Jedi
01:24:20.480 Idealistic
01:24:25.100 character
01:24:25.660 he was
01:24:26.340 the most
01:24:26.620 optimistic
01:24:27.140 character
01:24:27.740 and
01:24:28.960 I said
01:24:30.740 you know
01:24:31.100 even if
01:24:31.540 I did
01:24:31.960 something
01:24:32.300 ghastly
01:24:32.980 like
01:24:33.680 picking
01:24:34.100 the wrong
01:24:34.820 young
01:24:36.640 student
01:24:37.200 that I
01:24:38.760 would
01:24:39.080 redouble
01:24:40.500 my efforts
01:24:41.060 I wouldn't
01:24:41.440 just go
01:24:41.840 off to
01:24:42.340 an island
01:24:42.780 for 30
01:24:43.380 years
01:24:43.800 but
01:24:45.440 that's
01:24:46.100 not my
01:24:46.420 job
01:24:46.680 I have
01:24:47.000 to do
01:24:47.260 what I
01:24:47.700 can do
01:24:48.180 the best
01:24:48.800 to realize
01:24:49.920 the vision
01:24:50.420 of the
01:24:50.700 writer
01:24:51.000 in this
01:24:51.480 case
01:24:51.720 Rian
01:24:52.120 Johnson
01:24:52.580 so
01:24:53.500 I mean
01:24:53.900 it had
01:24:54.320 to
01:24:54.560 it was
01:24:55.040 tough
01:24:55.420 on me
01:24:55.940 because
01:24:56.760 it's
01:24:57.140 you know
01:24:57.640 I was
01:24:58.140 sort of
01:24:58.900 old school
01:24:59.520 George Lucas
01:25:00.340 and you
01:25:01.440 have to
01:25:01.700 make way
01:25:02.200 for the
01:25:02.500 new
01:25:02.680 generation
01:25:03.420 so I
01:25:04.220 had to
01:25:04.380 figure out
01:25:05.040 how can
01:25:06.060 I best
01:25:06.420 make this
01:25:06.860 work
01:25:07.120 and there's
01:25:07.740 lots of
01:25:08.120 backstory
01:25:08.640 I made
01:25:09.020 up for
01:25:09.300 myself
01:25:09.900 that
01:25:11.060 wouldn't
01:25:12.320 concern
01:25:14.100 the audience
01:25:14.720 in any
01:25:15.240 way
01:25:15.500 and that's
01:25:16.100 when I
01:25:16.320 made the
01:25:16.640 analogy
01:25:17.040 of being
01:25:17.640 the Beatles
01:25:18.440 generation
01:25:19.100 where all
01:25:20.080 you need
01:25:20.400 is love
01:25:21.000 and in
01:25:22.060 effect
01:25:22.580 we failed
01:25:23.540 because I
01:25:24.460 think the
01:25:24.860 world is
01:25:25.240 much worse
01:25:25.840 now than
01:25:26.860 it was
01:25:27.220 then
01:25:27.620 holy crap
01:25:29.360 dark
01:25:30.440 analysis of
01:25:31.500 your own
01:25:31.780 role
01:25:32.020 here's a
01:25:32.700 guy who
01:25:33.580 had this
01:25:33.920 really big
01:25:34.480 movie a
01:25:35.360 million years
01:25:35.840 ago and
01:25:37.260 he waits
01:25:37.640 and waits
01:25:37.980 and waits
01:25:38.320 and waits
01:25:38.820 and I
01:25:39.360 don't know
01:25:39.660 how many
01:25:40.120 how often
01:25:40.620 you've gone
01:25:40.960 back and
01:25:41.320 looked at
01:25:41.620 Star Wars
01:25:42.020 Mark Hamill
01:25:42.880 objectively
01:25:45.200 is not a
01:25:47.140 good actor
01:25:47.500 now I
01:25:49.180 love those
01:25:49.920 movies
01:25:50.240 but Mark
01:25:51.860 Hamill
01:25:52.160 is not
01:25:53.680 good in
01:25:54.080 them
01:25:54.300 okay
01:25:55.580 he's
01:25:56.420 something
01:25:56.660 that you
01:25:57.160 overlook
01:25:58.040 in a
01:25:59.860 retro sort
01:26:00.540 of fashion
01:26:01.040 and you're
01:26:02.140 like I
01:26:02.660 have a
01:26:03.160 warm feeling
01:26:03.920 in my
01:26:04.580 heart about
01:26:05.260 those movies
01:26:05.840 so therefore
01:26:06.600 I will
01:26:07.200 ignore his
01:26:07.780 acting
01:26:08.220 I mean I'm
01:26:10.920 sorry but it's
01:26:11.560 true and then
01:26:12.380 you wait all
01:26:13.400 of this time
01:26:14.340 you wait
01:26:15.200 through an
01:26:15.920 incredibly long
01:26:16.920 delay
01:26:17.340 three terrible
01:26:18.760 prequels
01:26:19.460 and then
01:26:20.720 another long
01:26:21.640 delay
01:26:22.080 where it seems
01:26:23.500 like it may
01:26:23.920 never come
01:26:24.420 back and
01:26:25.160 they're like
01:26:25.540 we're doing
01:26:26.420 it we're
01:26:27.120 bringing in
01:26:27.860 JJ
01:26:28.300 JJ Abramson
01:26:30.000 is gonna make
01:26:30.820 the new movie
01:26:31.500 and guess what
01:26:32.320 Luke you're
01:26:32.860 gonna be in
01:26:33.380 it they
01:26:34.200 probably call
01:26:34.680 him Luke I'm
01:26:35.100 assuming and
01:26:35.520 not Mark
01:26:35.860 Luke you're
01:26:36.760 gonna be in
01:26:37.220 the movie
01:26:37.560 congratulations
01:26:38.180 it's wonderful
01:26:39.580 here's your big
01:26:40.200 comeback and
01:26:41.860 you read the
01:26:42.880 script and
01:26:43.880 then you're
01:26:44.260 in the last
01:26:45.020 eight seconds
01:26:45.820 of the movie
01:26:46.360 and you don't
01:26:46.780 say anything
01:26:47.460 so that's
01:26:49.120 your that's
01:26:50.700 rough then
01:26:52.340 they bring you
01:26:53.760 into the movie
01:26:54.480 and I swear
01:26:55.800 they made that
01:26:56.220 first one just
01:26:56.840 so they didn't
01:26:57.200 have to expose
01:26:57.880 long stretches
01:26:59.060 of acting
01:26:59.660 from Mark
01:27:00.400 Hamill then
01:27:01.860 they bring him
01:27:02.280 into this new
01:27:02.640 one and I
01:27:02.960 swear they
01:27:03.400 they gave him
01:27:04.100 this role of
01:27:04.660 like quiet
01:27:05.600 brooding guy
01:27:06.540 so he didn't
01:27:06.960 have to speak
01:27:07.680 he could just
01:27:08.860 wear a beard
01:27:09.460 they even
01:27:10.080 covered his
01:27:10.580 face with a
01:27:11.140 beard so he
01:27:12.180 couldn't express
01:27:12.760 a lot
01:27:13.880 and then
01:27:15.760 they run
01:27:16.280 through the
01:27:16.560 whole thing
01:27:17.160 and he
01:27:18.440 he had a
01:27:20.140 mistake with
01:27:20.860 a student so
01:27:21.660 he ran away
01:27:22.220 to an island
01:27:22.680 for 30 years
01:27:23.520 like what
01:27:24.580 I mean it
01:27:26.340 just really
01:27:26.760 wasn't that
01:27:27.320 good and
01:27:29.180 then you and
01:27:29.720 then they bring
01:27:30.180 in Woody
01:27:31.100 Harrelson for
01:27:32.640 the solo thing
01:27:33.580 which I just
01:27:34.980 can't take any
01:27:35.740 more Woody
01:27:36.120 Harrelson like
01:27:37.560 I you know I
01:27:38.220 mean there's
01:27:38.580 gotta be a
01:27:39.200 maximum amount
01:27:39.940 allowed of
01:27:41.100 Woody Harrelson
01:27:41.700 in one's
01:27:42.160 life and I
01:27:43.920 hit it during
01:27:45.060 Cheers so
01:27:46.180 think of how
01:27:46.720 torturous this
01:27:47.740 is for me I
01:27:49.820 will say it's
01:27:50.300 not as torturous
01:27:51.020 as the Fair
01:27:51.640 and Reciprocal
01:27:52.240 Trade Act or
01:27:53.380 FART and we'll

01:28:49.880 day today we

01:28:51.220 bit about LeBron
01:28:52.280 James leaving and
01:28:53.180 going to the
01:28:54.480 LA Lakers
01:28:55.100 strange move I
01:28:56.140 think I mean I
01:28:57.180 know he has a
01:28:57.780 home there and he
01:28:58.320 loves it apparently
01:28:59.160 a couple homes
01:28:59.660 right I don't
01:29:00.540 know in LA
01:29:01.320 it's two LA
01:29:02.180 more than one in
01:29:02.740 LA I heard that
01:29:04.100 he had bought two
01:29:04.680 within the last
01:29:05.240 year or so okay
01:29:06.220 in LA I mean
01:29:07.580 it's a fun city
01:29:08.440 you know if you
01:29:09.920 if you like
01:29:10.960 non-stop nonsense
01:29:12.660 it's great if you
01:29:13.840 if you like to
01:29:14.560 take I don't
01:29:16.000 know two and a
01:29:16.480 half to three
01:29:17.100 hours to go five
01:29:17.920 miles and you
01:29:20.000 like non-stop
01:29:21.340 communism it's a
01:29:22.720 great place to
01:29:23.360 live well there's
01:29:24.000 a there's a there's
01:29:25.200 an income level in
01:29:26.260 which LA becomes
01:29:27.180 bearable and he's
01:29:29.080 certainly north of
01:29:30.220 it I don't know
01:29:31.560 what the level is
01:29:32.460 but I think
01:29:33.020 barely I think
01:29:33.980 it's probably true
01:29:36.500 I think if you
01:29:37.680 make if three
01:29:39.960 million a year
01:29:40.700 maybe plus
01:29:42.280 that's probably
01:29:43.180 about the level
01:29:43.720 I would say
01:29:44.340 that's probably
01:29:44.740 about the level
01:29:45.380 and Jeffy I
01:29:46.120 don't think you're
01:29:46.500 completely clear of
01:29:47.520 the hassles there
01:29:48.300 I think you got to
01:29:49.340 go to helicopter
01:29:50.060 level before you're
01:29:50.960 you're actually
01:29:51.560 clear of the
01:29:52.880 hassles three
01:29:53.620 million still sounds
01:29:54.680 like you're you're
01:29:55.840 still struggling but
01:29:56.720 I mean you're in
01:29:57.260 traffic you're still
01:29:57.860 in traffic buy an
01:29:58.880 okay home maybe a
01:30:00.280 2000 or 2500
01:30:01.420 square foot home
01:30:02.820 maybe you know
01:30:03.820 maybe you could
01:30:05.260 have an average
01:30:05.840 size home and
01:30:07.740 you could have
01:30:08.380 decent groceries
01:30:09.920 on three million
01:30:11.660 a year maybe
01:30:12.420 maybe if you're
01:30:13.260 lucky yes if you
01:30:14.440 scrimp it's it's
01:30:15.980 amazing we talked
01:30:16.520 about this a little
01:30:16.940 bit late last week
01:30:18.160 about how the Bay
01:30:19.760 Area now in San
01:30:20.920 Francisco of course
01:30:21.760 a little north of
01:30:22.300 there now earning
01:30:23.560 117 thousand four
01:30:25.140 hundred dollars
01:30:25.640 qualifies you as
01:30:26.560 low income in some
01:30:28.300 counties unconscionable
01:30:29.700 a family of four must
01:30:31.180 earn seven hundred
01:30:31.920 seventeen thousand
01:30:32.540 four hundred dollars
01:30:33.200 a year very low
01:30:34.280 income very low is
01:30:36.280 considered seventy
01:30:37.320 three thousand three
01:30:38.440 hundred dollars
01:30:39.060 wow okay imagine
01:30:41.940 this place I mean
01:30:43.260 even if you were like
01:30:44.020 playing for the San
01:30:45.200 Francisco Giants you
01:30:46.360 might not be able to
01:30:46.820 afford a home yeah
01:30:48.040 the median home price
01:30:50.040 now nine hundred and
01:30:51.180 thirty five thousand
01:30:52.080 dollars that is just
01:30:54.180 up crazy it's absurd
01:30:55.380 it's just the whole
01:30:56.020 state is crazy yeah
01:30:57.120 which is why it's
01:30:58.460 great you know when
01:30:59.620 you sell a home in
01:31:00.320 California and move to
01:31:01.160 Texas uh because you
01:31:02.560 can afford something
01:31:03.880 considerably better yeah
01:31:06.160 we had a similar
01:31:07.640 moment to this right
01:31:08.760 a lot of times the
01:31:09.740 northeast down here and
01:31:11.580 it seems like they
01:31:12.480 missed like they had
01:31:13.260 someone brought out the
01:31:14.000 pricing gun and
01:31:14.700 mispriced all the
01:31:15.420 houses like some
01:31:17.200 moron like the dumb
01:31:18.560 brother to change
01:31:19.720 however it is it is
01:31:21.100 beginning to change
01:31:21.940 it's gone up almost
01:31:22.660 forty percent in the
01:31:23.580 last five years it
01:31:24.480 changes when you come
01:31:25.600 here right like when
01:31:27.120 you're here and you
01:31:27.980 start getting used to
01:31:28.980 the prices all of a
01:31:29.740 sudden they start
01:31:30.200 seeming high again
01:31:31.020 but that's not what
01:31:31.680 it was like when we
01:31:32.460 came down here it
01:31:33.140 felt like everything
01:31:33.800 was like on the
01:31:35.620 sale rack by mistake
01:31:36.840 yeah and that is not
01:31:38.920 the way and I don't
01:31:39.920 know LeBron might be
01:31:40.740 hitting some of those
01:31:41.620 I mean the tax bills
01:31:42.720 are legitimate they
01:31:43.500 were saying if he had
01:31:44.620 gone to Philly for the
01:31:46.100 76ers the contract he
01:31:48.220 would have saved 11
01:31:49.040 million dollars in taxes
01:31:50.280 over four years and
01:31:51.740 that and Philly's not
01:31:52.360 even a good tax area
01:31:53.500 well he left uh and
01:31:55.300 I'm sure the taxes in
01:31:56.260 Ohio are much less than
01:31:57.760 they are California and
01:31:58.720 he left 54 million on
01:31:59.860 the table not staying
01:32:00.580 with the Cavs 54 million
01:32:02.320 over the life of the
01:32:03.540 contract so he it wasn't
01:32:05.400 about money for him it's
01:32:07.000 about he does I will say
01:32:08.400 he maximizes every cent
01:32:09.860 though I mean he kept
01:32:10.980 opting out of the
01:32:11.700 contract with Cleveland to
01:32:13.500 get the extra new max
01:32:15.660 deal every single time for
01:32:17.100 one year which you know
01:32:18.840 kind of holds Cleveland
01:32:20.420 hostage and why would any
01:32:22.540 big free agent want to go
01:32:23.700 there when he's only
01:32:24.720 committed to for one year
01:32:25.820 so now at least he's
01:32:27.040 committed to four or at
01:32:28.220 least three years actually
01:32:29.420 yeah he's got an option
01:32:30.340 yeah with LA so that'll be
01:32:32.440 interesting it'll be
01:32:32.900 interesting to see him
01:32:33.540 play in the West it'll be
01:32:34.940 interesting to see him
01:32:35.720 dealing with all the
01:32:36.760 Hillary Clinton policies he
01:32:38.320 supported right because
01:32:39.460 now he gets to deal with
01:32:40.160 all those new taxes and all
01:32:41.060 the regulations and all the
01:32:42.280 things getting in his way
01:32:43.220 yeah sometimes it's nice
01:32:44.740 to see that yeah I know
01:32:46.140 Pat always says he loves
01:32:47.120 it when liberals eat their
01:32:48.000 own and it's kind of it's
01:32:49.000 kind of nice it's almost an
01:32:50.100 example of that uh it's
01:32:52.200 also going to be
01:32:52.680 interesting to see if he
01:32:53.500 can carry that team it's
01:32:54.800 him and Lonzo Ball now
01:32:56.420 whoo yeah they're going
01:32:57.960 to get crushed by
01:32:58.600 everybody they'll get
01:32:59.420 somebody though they'll
01:33:00.500 bring somebody in I don't
01:33:02.440 know who that's going to
01:33:03.060 be at least why Leonard I
01:33:04.680 don't think they can get
01:33:05.360 him this year next year
01:33:06.460 though but yeah not this
01:33:07.860 year and the other one is
01:33:10.160 don't worry about it the
01:33:10.840 other one they're talking
01:33:11.420 about James he can carry
01:33:12.840 the team to a certain
01:33:13.980 extent yes he did with
01:33:15.580 Cleveland they won't get
01:33:16.280 to the finals though not in
01:33:17.120 the Western Conference no I
01:33:18.300 don't think they're not
01:33:19.020 getting anywhere near that
01:33:20.180 they're not even going to
01:33:20.900 be in the Western Conference
01:33:21.680 that would be quite an
01:33:22.300 achievement if he's able to
01:33:23.640 get that team as
01:33:24.480 DeMarcus Cousins they're
01:33:25.880 talking about DeMarcus
01:33:26.660 Cousins maybe maybe that
01:33:28.040 it's pretty maybe that's
01:33:28.680 enough uh so another story
01:33:31.020 I wanted to bring up with
01:33:31.580 you guys and Jeffy I think
01:33:32.540 you'd be the expert a lot
01:33:33.580 of people were very
01:33:34.180 critical of the show today I
01:33:35.360 have to admit uh multiple
01:33:37.380 times you were doing it
01:33:38.520 um yes and that's part of
01:33:39.840 the reason uh multiple times
01:33:42.220 I've been hit with uh because
01:33:43.620 I did two segments today one
01:33:44.880 on the Fair and Reciprocal
01:33:46.380 Trade Act or FART is it
01:33:48.740 actually called Fair and
01:33:49.620 Reciprocal Trade yes that's
01:33:50.820 the name of the I swear
01:33:52.060 someone in the Trump
01:33:52.780 administration who like
01:33:53.700 did it doesn't like the
01:33:54.620 bill did it on purpose I
01:33:55.840 it has to be right they
01:33:58.220 couldn't have possibly
01:33:59.000 screwed that up um but
01:34:01.040 the FART Act one or or I
01:34:02.680 was thinking it also could
01:34:03.700 be the Trump administration
01:34:04.800 intentionally leaking a fake
01:34:07.160 bill to Axios just to have
01:34:09.620 everything to do this I
01:34:11.060 don't know it could be that
01:34:11.680 easy it could be that too
01:34:12.520 but the FART Act and also I
01:34:14.220 talked about um a podcast
01:34:15.800 uh about uh the business of
01:34:19.000 porn and multiple people
01:34:21.520 said why are you doing
01:34:23.000 these segments without
01:34:23.660 Jeffy in the room you have
01:34:26.600 an expert on staff who knows
01:34:28.960 both of these topics in great
01:34:30.440 detail well I don't like to
01:34:32.220 discuss the my porn business
01:34:33.880 uh you know that's just tax
01:34:36.840 issues involved but I am
01:34:40.300 concerned this one I had to
01:34:41.240 bring you in for donut fries I
01:34:44.840 know donut fries from Dunkin
01:34:47.600 Donuts they look good they
01:34:50.760 look really good and I was I
01:34:53.280 had emailed your producer
01:34:56.820 whatever whatever she goes by
01:34:58.760 and uh she uh said she wasn't
01:35:01.780 going to get them I don't know
01:35:03.880 who's running this joint
01:35:04.760 apparently not you I'm not even
01:35:07.140 close not even close am I
01:35:09.240 getting them I mean the donut
01:35:11.260 fry seems like a really good
01:35:12.680 direction yes it does and and
01:35:14.420 and Mr. Kale and grilled
01:35:16.200 chicken over here now who
01:35:17.700 hasn't had oh yeah you know
01:35:19.740 Mr. uh Mr. Healthy Eater all
01:35:23.040 of a sudden since Pat and
01:35:24.040 Stu ended all of a sudden
01:35:24.960 Pat's dropped like all this
01:35:26.120 weight I know he's Mr. Healthy
01:35:27.860 Guy now it's really infuriating
01:35:29.920 so healthy it's not not
01:35:32.060 something I support I will be
01:35:33.500 honest it's not something I
01:35:34.740 support are you would you are
01:35:36.000 you into the donut fry idea
01:35:37.080 I don't I think sometimes you
01:35:39.420 get a little carried away with
01:35:40.240 this stuff with these novelty
01:35:41.320 things and I I like things that
01:35:44.420 are savory to be savory and
01:35:45.940 things that are sweet to be
01:35:46.820 sweet mixing the two doesn't
01:35:49.000 really excite me very much
01:35:50.380 you know like the donut bun for
01:35:52.640 a hamburger I don't like that
01:35:54.420 that was really sweet that was
01:35:56.420 really I mean that's tough to
01:35:57.380 take yes and you did have that
01:35:58.680 on the air I did have that on
01:36:00.120 the air so it's amazing the
01:36:04.700 amount of chewing we've done
01:36:06.160 into microphones over the
01:36:07.360 years it's not a good
01:36:08.360 broadcasting no they kind of
01:36:11.160 remind me of the the Burger
01:36:12.800 King French toast sticks that's
01:36:14.440 what they look like okay oh so
01:36:16.200 I don't know those are very
01:36:17.260 greasy they are very greasy but
01:36:19.480 not bad I'm not a big fan of
01:36:22.060 those I don't know I'd rather have
01:36:24.320 just French toast thank you have
01:36:26.340 you ever had funnel cake fries
01:36:29.040 funnel cake fries I don't know do we
01:36:33.420 have that at the Texas State Fair
01:36:34.600 think so they have them at the
01:36:37.040 Texas Rangers games and we of
01:36:38.640 course broadcasting from Dallas
01:36:39.900 and they awesome oh my god they're
01:36:41.840 so good really they're so good I
01:36:43.960 don't know there's something about
01:36:44.740 like a funnel cake is not
01:36:46.280 something that's easy to eat it's
01:36:48.420 kind of a weird thing to eat I
01:36:49.960 mean Jeffy I mean I know you
01:36:51.140 need it in one bite so it's easy
01:36:52.400 for you but they're not very
01:36:53.440 difficult but the fry delivery
01:36:56.940 system for a funnel cake is
01:36:58.620 excellent because then you can dip
01:36:59.820 them in like a they have like a
01:37:01.100 raspberry sauce or something oh
01:37:02.840 that sounds good serious if you go
01:37:05.740 if you go to a Rangers game right
01:37:07.060 behind home plate got to go do
01:37:08.260 they come with the powdered sugar
01:37:09.400 on them or do you yeah as well
01:37:11.740 you probably know I'm surprised I'm
01:37:15.660 surprised you were able to put that
01:37:16.540 one together we stumbled onto
01:37:17.740 something though it's very very
01:37:18.800 healthy at my house it's called
01:37:20.080 nutter butter cereal have you ever
01:37:21.620 tried that no gosh oh man I thought
01:37:26.080 I loved Reese's peanut butter cup
01:37:28.860 cereal to me this is better this is
01:37:32.140 better that sounds another
01:37:33.500 butter cereal nutter butter cereal
01:37:35.600 I mean that screams incredibly
01:37:37.280 healthy not a not a drop not a
01:37:39.360 grain of sugar in it not one grain
01:37:41.940 and look I would say not one not
01:37:46.160 one grain I would say the same goes
01:37:48.020 for Nilla banana pudding cereal oh my
01:37:51.560 gosh I didn't know they had that
01:37:52.880 which is I think in the same line
01:37:54.180 because I think they got an Oreo and
01:37:55.320 a chips ahoy that I don't know I've
01:37:58.480 looked for it in stores and I cannot
01:37:59.660 seem to find it has anybody done
01:38:01.020 bananas foster cereal yet because I'm
01:38:03.660 all over that don't think so all over
01:38:05.780 that this is the point here though is
01:38:07.520 not just how delicious these foods are
01:38:09.920 yeah the point is in a world run by
01:38:12.580 Alexandria Cortez we don't have nutter
01:38:17.660 butter cereal oh for sure right we don't
01:38:20.220 have banana pudding cereal right in a
01:38:23.460 socialist world we lose these
01:38:25.020 capitalist in inventions yep and it's
01:38:28.140 not a world worth living in no it's
01:38:30.140 true it's not no it's a sad world
01:38:32.680 it's a world dominated by suicide is
01:38:34.840 what it is sad world I mean Venezuela
01:38:37.000 got it wrong they didn't they tweaked
01:38:39.480 what was it what's their inflation rate
01:38:42.140 right now in this socialist Shangri-La
01:38:46.140 they're they've kept it pretty steady okay
01:38:50.440 lately it's uh the inflation rate is just a
01:38:53.640 little bit just a tiny bit above 43
01:38:56.380 thousand percent just a shade over they
01:39:01.040 didn't get it quite right that's what I'm
01:39:02.780 saying you know why didn't they didn't go
01:39:05.020 far enough oh okay that's why they didn't
01:39:07.900 go far enough someone's got to get it
01:39:09.680 right mm-hmm I just read that article the
01:39:12.040 other day amazing uh somebody tried to
01:39:14.040 excuse socialism and they said
01:39:16.980 everybody's painting uh Venezuela is a
01:39:21.360 failed socialist place and the problem
01:39:24.280 with Venezuela is it didn't go far enough
01:39:26.520 it's always the problem every time oh
01:39:29.380 that's okay good you know it's amazing
01:39:31.300 to think about we have people in
01:39:34.060 Venezuela a million bolivars for one cup
01:39:37.400 of coffee now a million that's the rate
01:39:39.720 43,000 percent interest uh inflation and
01:39:44.720 where now are all of these Hollywood
01:39:47.660 celebrities who are down there encouraging
01:39:49.820 the people to vote for Sean Penn
01:39:51.680 Glover oh there's a huge slew of them
01:39:54.320 and they were praising I mean Michael
01:39:56.020 Moore praising Venezuela as this hope now
01:39:59.960 Venezuela was actually in pretty good
01:40:01.760 shape before uh the socialists got in
01:40:04.360 charge there well they should be their
01:40:06.100 oil rich exactly I mean you know it
01:40:09.280 wasn't any necessarily miracle of
01:40:11.020 capitalism they just had a lot of oil
01:40:12.420 and they were able to sell it and they
01:40:16.520 were not uh I mean there was like they
01:40:18.440 had some corruption just like everybody
01:40:19.920 does but you have to be pretty bad to
01:40:22.180 screw up that uh economic system when
01:40:25.120 you've got that much oil you're an OPEC
01:40:28.140 oil nation on this side of the of the
01:40:31.000 planet and and you're that I mean we
01:40:34.140 used to get a lot of oil from them before
01:40:36.000 we became you know not best buddies
01:40:38.680 anymore so uh when the government took
01:40:42.620 that over they ran it right into the
01:40:44.180 ground yeah and now you have people
01:40:46.980 there in Venezuela hunting for stray dogs
01:40:50.920 to eat yeah to eat yeah while we have
01:40:54.260 nutter butter cereal right and there's a
01:40:57.320 there's an argument between these two
01:40:58.780 systems hard to believe we've got a
01:41:01.600 pudding made into a cereal a pudding
01:41:05.680 and they're they're scavenging zoos for
01:41:07.760 food yes they're eating like I mean you
01:41:10.620 think about you don't want to get into a
01:41:12.020 zoo with one of those animals they get
01:41:13.420 lions and tigers and bears oh my yet
01:41:17.020 they're willing to go hunt them down
01:41:19.620 that's right to eat them yeah well I
01:41:22.500 mean there's a big difference in the
01:41:24.300 systems here I think one works better
01:41:25.660 than the other yet here's America we
01:41:28.960 want our democratic socialists we want
01:41:30.600 Bernie Sanders we want Bernie Sanders
01:41:32.580 campaign volunteers not the ones that
01:41:35.340 are shooting a congressman per se but
01:41:37.160 the ones that are winning elections
01:41:40.000 apparently now in New York amazing
01:41:42.060 although if we do get the ones that
01:41:43.460 are shooting at congressman we'll just
01:41:45.180 ignore that they shot congressman we
01:41:46.840 won't pay any attention that really did
01:41:48.600 disappear fast I mean think about this
01:41:50.220 what are we a year a little over a
01:41:51.680 year barely since a Bernie Sanders
01:41:53.660 volunteer almost assassinated 10% of all
01:41:57.640 elected Republicans in Washington okay
01:42:00.080 and a year later we're talking about
01:42:03.060 the incivility of Republicans I mean I
01:42:07.720 got you got to give the media some
01:42:09.040 credit here you got to admire their work
01:42:10.840 a little bit it's pretty amazing they've
01:42:12.460 worked hard on that that's incredible to
01:42:14.420 turn that one around yeah all right on
01:42:16.060 the show today Pat Gray unleashed

01:42:30.420 friends staying you know you're around

01:42:33.240 about the news of the day a lot of times
01:42:34.660 you'd say we're just going to chew the
01:42:35.600 fat a little bit so that's why your
01:42:36.940 segment oh that okay right Pat right
01:42:39.180 yes exactly that and he's fat I mean I
01:42:44.300 tell you what it is it's good to be

01:43:10.340 Rick in Ohio welcome to the Glenn Beck
01:43:11.720 program hey Stu yeah the uh the fart
01:43:16.180 stinks but if we hold it in we run the
01:43:19.760 risk of ripping the guts out of the
01:43:22.240 country no sometimes sometimes it's just
01:43:26.620 better to let it rip but most importantly
01:43:29.760 I'm worried about the beer fart and the
01:43:32.020 egg fart those are tariffs hitting those
01:43:34.580 particular products very hard you're
01:43:36.040 right and I don't think it's fair or
01:43:38.180 reciprocal to be perfectly honest with
01:43:39.740 you thank you for the analysis Rick
