The Glenn Beck Program - 'What If'？ - 7⧸2⧸18

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. 0.98

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. 1.00

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. 0.99

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 0.97

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

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 1.00

00:05:31.480 and have an abortion on demand. 0.63

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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, 1.00

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 0.73

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 0.99

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? 0.94

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 1.00

00:09:15.540 to care for the child.

00:09:16.740 Can you imagine, in America, asking a woman to say, 0.70

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. 0.92

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 0.78

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 1.00

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, 0.98

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 1.00

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. 0.98

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. 0.97

00:15:43.800 But one is right, and the other one's really dumb. 0.98

00:15:49.580 That's where we find ourselves with the Supreme Court. 0.95

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. 0.67

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. 0.69

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? 0.91

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. 0.98

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, 1.00

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, 0.97

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. 0.97

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 0.61

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 0.90

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 0.60

00:42:36.460 didn't go to

00:42:36.980 Brown or the 1.00

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 1.00

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? 1.00

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 0.96

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 1.00

00:48:21.360 are pathetic. 1.00

00:48:22.160 Like this 1.00

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 0.92

00:49:12.060 the Bronx

00:49:12.580 who loves the

00:49:13.740 Bronx so much 0.99

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 0.99

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 1.00

00:49:56.800 to her manager

00:49:57.520 her take was 0.92

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 0.61

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:53:23.600 ugliest capitalist 0.99

00:53:24.900 thing in the world 0.99

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, 1.00

00:55:56.680 but he sucks 1.00

00:55:58.520 now too. 1.00

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. 0.70

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 1.00

00:56:55.480 junk too. 0.99

00:56:56.080 I mean, did you 0.92

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. 0.99

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 0.86

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 0.95

01:02:28.000 congresswoman, who 0.77

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 0.95

01:02:42.920 also evil, and people 0.98

01:02:44.380 like Sarah Huckabee

01:02:45.160 Sanders deserve to get 0.82

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 1.00

01:02:52.820 bunch of women. 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

01:05:01.940 And the darn Trump 1.00

01:05:03.300 administration, darn you, is 1.00

01:05:06.080 trying to stop her from doing 1.00

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 0.97

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 1.00

01:06:53.440 and get up off your ass and do 0.99

01:06:55.940 something, you can do it. 1.00

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 0.68

01:07:36.640 and cry. 0.74

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 0.98

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 0.61

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, 0.66

01:16:47.220 hold the fart in. 0.71

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, 0.96

01:17:07.440 it stinks. 0.97

01:17:10.540 It stinks. 0.98

01:17:11.840 And a lot of people 0.98

01:17:12.360 are tweeting

01:17:12.700 that exact phrase

01:17:13.680 about FART. 0.99

01:17:15.460 It stinks. 0.97

01:17:18.540 So I'm 0.95

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, 0.85

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 0.87

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 0.65

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. 0.54

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 0.75

01:22:23.800 on a crappy 0.84

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 0.99

01:22:32.240 this sucks. 0.98

01:22:33.940 You know 1.00

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 1.00

01:22:39.660 all the crap 1.00

01:22:40.740 they can churn 1.00

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 0.99

01:23:20.860 sucks 1.00

01:23:21.160 well you 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.89

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 0.93

01:25:27.620 holy crap 0.88

01:25:29.360 dark 0.93

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 0.70

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

01:28:50.660 talked a little

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 0.65

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 1.00

01:31:17.200 moron like the dumb 1.00

01:31:18.560 brother to change 1.00

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 0.75

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 0.66

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

01:42:17.900 Jeffy are you gonna let him in as well or

01:42:25.280 segment they've titled it chewing the

01:42:28.060 fat well that's what you talk about

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

01:42:32.120 you're just kind of hanging out talking

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 0.90

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
