It's hard to know when an emergency is going to occur, whether it's something happening
00:00:03.080
directly to you, something in your region, even something nationwide or global.
00:00:09.440
In fact, the only guarantee is that bad things will, of course, happen at some point in life,
00:00:15.920
The time to prepare isn't after they happen, it's beforehand.
00:00:19.280

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:09.760
Today, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:20.840
I think somebody needs to be removed from the United States Congress.
00:02:29.680
Ever since the dark day of September 11th, 2001, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping American heroes and their families.
00:02:39.240
It's their way of living up to that promise we all made that day.
00:02:42.080
They pay the mortgages for the families of those who don't come home from service, and they build mortgage-free smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders so that they can live more independent lives.
00:02:55.020
They're providing housing and other vital services to homeless veterans, and sadly, there are a lot of homeless veterans to help, over 3,000 in 2023 alone.
00:03:03.860
Their 9-11 Institute is helping teachers across the country educate our kids about 9-11.
00:03:09.300
That is very much needed in our society so that the next generation won't forget either.
00:03:14.340
Our military and first responder heroes deserve the best that we can give them, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is there to provide as much of that as they can.
00:03:23.480
They need help from people like you and like me.
00:03:49.260
How did Minnesota become, I don't know, the Somalian capital of the world?
00:03:56.240
You'd think that people from Somalia would not like it in Minnesota.
00:03:59.940
You wouldn't think that's where they would gravitate.
00:04:01.860
But they've gravitated in such numbers that they elected one of their own, a Somali, and obviously a Somali-first person,
00:04:10.980
to be their representative from Minnesota in Washington, D.C., so that she could do the bidding of Somalia.
00:04:18.480
Yeah, it's a less popular version of America first, Somalia first.
00:04:23.840
Quite a bit different version of America first.
00:04:45.220
Yeah, babies in the womb are way down there as well.
00:04:54.560
Which is interesting because the oath she took when she got into Congress goes this way.
00:05:01.860
I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
00:05:14.840
I don't even know if Somalia has a Constitution.
00:05:18.920
I assume they've got some sort of national charter.
00:05:23.660
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, meaning the United States.
00:05:28.920
That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.
00:05:33.960
And that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.
00:05:42.220
Okay, well, she was giving a speech to Somalis in Minnesota, and this happens to be in Somali.
00:05:53.800
Have you gone through this clip on your show, Pat Gray Unleashed, yet?
00:05:57.700
Are you capable of speaking as fast as this stuff comes?
00:06:01.100
So I'm going to have to pause the video a few times.
00:06:03.980
Because I, Glenn and I talked about this the other day, and we were sort of playing this clip, and usually what happens is you hear about 45 seconds of talking and two words in English pop up.
00:06:16.920
Apparently, Somalian is the most efficient language of all time.
00:06:21.820
She speaks like four words and three paragraphs pop up on the screen, and then it's over.
00:06:29.640
You know, Glenn Beck, Radio Hall of Fame, Pat Gray, I would say on the bubble right now.
00:06:34.380
I mean, you know, a couple good shows, and you're in.
00:06:37.520
So if you can pull this off, I think I'm leading the campaign.
00:06:48.600
It was hilarious watching, because I'm just sitting here watching the text and realizing he's skipping all sorts of words.
00:06:53.160
And it got going so fast at some point that he couldn't even get the basic concept of what she was saying.
00:07:01.020
So hopefully they're prepared for stopping and starting this video to assist Pat Gray.
00:07:11.020
She's about to say, many Somalians have personally called me to encourage me to speak to the U.S. government.
00:07:28.720
They wanted to know what the U.S. government could do for Somalia to ensure the...
00:07:44.260
My answer to Somalians was that the U.S. government will only do what the Somalians
00:08:03.960
And that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia.
00:08:07.180
We Somalians must have that confidence in ourselves that we call the shots for the U.S.
00:08:15.240
We live in the U.S., pay taxes in the U.S., and...
00:08:23.360
The U.S. is a country where one of your daughters, myself, is in Congress to represent
00:08:29.960
For as long as I'm in the U.S. Congress, Somalia will never be in danger.
00:08:33.860
Its waters, the Indian Ocean, will never be stolen by Ethiopia or others.
00:08:45.880
Look, she is well known because she is very anti-Semitic.
00:08:57.340
She got that attention when she came into office.
00:08:59.840
You know, wasn't she in like a music video back in the day?
00:09:07.480
She also married her brother so that she could stay in this country.
00:09:22.240
Look, one congressman can do very, very little.
00:09:29.080
That she can pull this off for Somalis in the United States.
00:09:31.840
And she, how, how, explain to me the constitutional process that allows one congressperson to stop Ethiopia from taking the straits from...
00:09:48.120
And there is, well, there is a legitimate thing that happens.
00:09:50.720
You know, the progressive caucus has been like this.
00:09:52.340
Well, look, they'll all come together and take each other's pet causes up and try to bring it to the attention.
00:09:59.660
I mean, it's not completely impossible for her to win these battles, but like, she's making promises that she has absolutely no power to keep individually.
00:10:17.580
Although, scant few representatives, Stu, are this passionate about doing the bidding of their district.
00:10:30.800
The district is Somalia, so she actually does not represent Somalia, and that's kind of the problem with this clip.
00:10:39.400
She does actually seem to care what her constituents care about, right?
00:11:01.720
Can we get a ruling on whether she's friends with what's-his-face?
00:11:08.660
Some people find her to be attractive, and apparently that was the impetus to be...
00:11:14.380
I mean, as most video appearances are, that's kind of how that happens, I guess.
00:11:30.460
But this woman doesn't give a rat's anus about America's southern border.
00:11:37.520
But she does have a priority about Somalia's borders.
00:11:48.700
I mean, it's a clear violation of her oath of office here that we read moments ago.
00:12:01.120
And if that's your priority, why aren't you in Somalia doing Somalia's bidding?
00:12:12.600
That's another thing we should talk to Adam about.
00:12:16.640
I'm going to ask him about what his feelings are in the Somalian conflict with Ethiopia.
00:12:24.140
No, I don't know that there's another way to take this.
00:12:27.520
I mean, she doesn't explicitly say Somalia over the United States, I guess, which would
00:12:33.440
be the only thing that you could do in excess of what she's done.
00:12:38.320
No, she was talking about the interest of Somalis in this country.
00:12:50.740
How is it an American interest as to whether Ethiopia is taking a straight from Somalia?
00:13:00.820
Who, you know, the left used to always use against conservatives and say, oh, you like
00:13:12.740
We want to do the constitution of this country, not the constitution of Somalia.
00:13:17.240
But, like, you know, there are, I'm sure, just like the, you know, someone who's Jewish
00:13:23.720
here in the United States, like, has interest in Israel, but, like, is still an American
00:13:30.360
Or you still want to protect your homeland, you know, but that doesn't mean, and homeland
00:13:35.180
I use an air quotes there, because that's, you know, in many cases not their homeland.
00:13:40.780
They were born here, but they still have interest.
00:13:44.900
There's reasons to be interested in that vicinity, but, like, that is secondary to your
00:13:52.160
Some of us pay attention to our heritage, I guess.
00:13:56.960
You know, if you've got roots in other countries, Barack Obama talked about Kenya a little bit,
00:14:04.200
his family being from there, he being from there, his wife discussed it.
00:14:09.840
That is what, not what the truth is, but that is what his wife did say that was.
00:14:24.520
Every candidate now is accused of this, by the way.
00:14:31.200
Like, that is just, like, now traditional part of American campaigning.
00:14:34.360
Even though she was clearly born in South Carolina, because her parents immigrated from
00:14:40.980
I don't know where that is in the Constitution, but.
00:14:43.400
I will tell you, when it goes away, the second she drops out, that's when it goes away.
00:14:50.420
But that's probably coming very soon, at least the next month or so, to a theater near you.
00:14:57.000
Can you, I mean, is there any precedence, Pat, of expelling a congresswoman for this type
00:15:08.440
But, I mean, it's pretty rare that they would do this.
00:15:15.860
By the letter of the law, it seems like she deserves it.
00:15:21.220
And she's made her feelings known in that regard.
00:15:28.120
Like, every time she opens her mouth, you know that America is not her priority here.
00:15:33.740
It's really astounding that she would be this bold with it and make that speech in Somali.
00:15:56.560
She'll continue to write out her term in office.
00:16:04.780
I will say I am happier that she's talking about the interests of Somalians and Somalia generally rather than her typical speech topic, which is how much she hates Jews.
00:16:15.940
I think it's better that she thinks she likes Somalians and Somali culture than how much she just really hopes the Jews go into the sea.
00:16:30.180
She cares about Somalia over the United States, sure.
00:16:32.540
But she's not outwardly calling for the death of Jews, which is, I think, a nice switch.
00:16:42.140
And my taste would be, hey, glad you're talking about maybe pot.
00:16:45.460
You know, I'm big on that Ethiopian strait issue.
00:16:48.400
I'm glad that she's talking about that rather than, you know, hey, October 7th was a wonderful festival.
00:17:04.240
You might think, hey, I need some sleep because I keep reading the news and my life is hell because of it.
00:17:12.680
Yet, everyone's tucked neatly into their beds, peacefully dreaming as their bodies get the rest that they need.
00:17:19.900
If this situation sounds familiar, I'll bet you really wish that it wasn't.
00:17:24.260
There's nothing more frustrating than having to go through your day all bleary-eyed from a lack of sleep from the night before.
00:17:30.260
I don't have difficulty sleeping, luckily, but on the nights when you do, you can reach for relief factor sleep.
00:17:38.480
Well, you can sleep soundly and you can wake up the next day feeling refreshed.
00:17:41.940
Just like regular relief factor that you take for pain, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free.
00:17:47.040
It's a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood, and promoting relaxation.
00:17:58.360
He felt the difference from the first night he took it.
00:18:03.220
Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-RELIEF.
00:18:16.460
And of course, speaking of Somalians, federal authorities caught a terrorist at the U.S. southern border
00:18:32.680
and then decided, no, no, that's not a terrorist.
00:18:36.220
They released him into the country where he roamed freely for about a year before being re-arrested in Minnesota just days ago.
00:19:02.680
I guess they called him Hey You most of his life.
00:19:06.160
And he's a member of the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab.
00:19:10.700
He was released shortly after being caught illegally crossing the border, the southern border, of course, near San Ysidro, California.
00:19:18.420
They ran his name, or the lack of name, through the terror watch list and they decided, nah, that's not the same guy.
00:19:25.360
And then, unfortunately, later they were reviewing some of these decisions and realized, oh, no, that is the guy.
00:19:33.860
And so they did in Minneapolis a couple days ago.
00:19:49.120
You found him on the terror watch list and you're like, nah, that can't be him.
00:19:53.720
And so he roams the country for a year doing who knows what until you finally, you know, get your heads out of your butts and realize, no, wait, we had that guy.
00:20:08.200
There's a constant lean toward just screwing these things up, right?
00:20:14.440
It's not, hey, we should do these things right.
00:20:16.560
It seems like the lean is always towards screwing all these things up.
00:20:19.840
Like, there's always a lean towards, ah, let's just let these people free in the country, see what happens.
00:20:24.580
It's as if we have an obligation to allow everybody who wants in, in.
00:20:33.000
We should go, maybe we can go through later in the show the details of this proposed border solution.
00:20:40.160
Because it's, I mean, there's some of it in there.
00:20:42.960
Now, this is the border solution that the president is trying so hard to get past so he can finally do something about it.
00:20:51.080
If Joe Biden wants it, a guy who has completely ignored the border for three full years, you know it must be super successful.
00:21:03.620
All he wants to do is secure the border from day one.
00:21:08.020
And the Republicans are keep saying, no, we want open borders.
00:21:14.380
Now, I don't know what happened to the racist part of this.
00:21:18.360
Because I was told the only reason you'd want to control the borders if you were a racist.
00:21:21.940
We've been told that for years and years and years.
00:21:30.980
There is actual evidence of Joe Biden being a racist.
00:21:33.700
I don't know if this is just a play off of that.
00:21:37.800
He's just come along to maybe he really wants to keep the Indians out because they only are allowed at 7-Elevens, as he's said in the past.
00:21:45.300
Or maybe he doesn't want African-Americans here because he doesn't think many of them are articulate and clean like Barack Obama.
00:21:52.440
I'm not sure which one of these policies of his are the ones that would motivate.
00:21:57.240
Maybe it's because if they don't vote for him, they're not black.
00:22:00.820
It's one of these policies is implemented here with all of this racism on the border.
00:22:05.380
But now he wants you to know Joe Biden border hawk is here.
00:22:11.220
Is it possible for any human being to fall for this?
00:22:21.380
It's embarrassing if anyone would fall for this.
00:22:23.460
The guy has done the exact opposite of this the entire time he's been president.
00:22:27.760
And now a few months before the campaign here as we're kicking off into full gear.
00:22:33.300
Oh, these Republicans, if they would just let me close the border.
00:22:45.520
So what happens if you find yourself in a situation where force is called for, but deadly force isn't when you have to make that split second decision that could end the life of a fellow human being and possibly ruin your own life in the process?
00:22:57.760
We've seen how that work plays out in the legal process over and over again.
00:23:08.720
A non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and family.
00:23:11.880
It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18.
00:23:18.820
Has tear gas and kinetic rounds with 60-foot range and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.
00:23:25.940
Government agencies and law enforcement are using these all around the country.
00:23:29.340
I was over at Glenn's place and they had these set up.
00:23:33.220
They had a course set up where you go and do target shooting.
00:23:36.060
And I was very excited that I could beat him because I was hoping there'd be running in between the stations.
00:23:40.820
And that's where I knew I could pick up space because he's a better shot than I am.
00:23:43.880
But unfortunately, you know, all he had to do was turn and he's still capable of doing that.
00:23:51.720
These are really cool, really fun to use as well for target shooting and such.

00:24:30.940
You know what's great is we have this hawkish president of the United States right now that he's ready to put the hammer down on the border.
00:24:40.700
I'm concerned he's too strong on the border, Pat.
00:24:46.500
I mean, does he ever want anyone to even be able to visit?
00:24:53.300
He's so powerful and so committed to closing that border.
00:24:58.180
He's sort of like the overweight, out-of-shape person on day one of the new year.
00:25:08.340
And then they get, you know, a little sore and never come back and never cancel the membership.
00:25:17.080
I mean, in this, to use that example, he never actually goes to the gym.
00:25:31.880
But, man, he tried yesterday to get across how committed he is to this.
00:25:38.280
I mean, if you fall for this, you are an idiot.
00:25:48.440
But how do you tie your shoes on a daily basis?
00:25:51.600
If you can suddenly believe this buffoon all of a sudden is a border hawk,
00:26:06.680
Wait, what if I vote and then I learn about it?
00:26:10.600
No, you should learn first to educate yourself so that you can come up with a reason to pick
00:26:14.760
one of the candidates and then vote for that candidate.
00:26:18.140
A lot of people doing it in the reverse, though, Pat.
00:26:24.400
But what if Taylor Swift tells me to vote for Joe Biden?
00:26:29.840
Then have I done the right thing in voting for him?
00:26:34.120
And we've seen how Taylor Swift can influence a campaign with a Tennessee Senate race from
00:26:52.900
This is him talking about the border and how he just wants...
00:26:56.560
Remember, shutting down the border would be xenophobic, racist, but now Joe Biden wants
00:27:01.620
you to believe that he wants to do it immediately.
00:27:05.400
It'll also give me as president the emergency authorities shut down the border until it
00:27:11.200
So, if that bill were the law today, I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly.
00:27:21.240
It's not even worth getting pissed off about because it's so ridiculous.
00:27:31.400
But if we do that, if we as a country, like, let him get away with that and reward him
00:27:38.960
with four more years of the presidency, we deserve everything that comes our way.
00:27:45.140
It's not something that should be conserved or maintained.
00:27:52.240
Like, I mean, we'll all try to make the best of our lives going forward, but let's be
00:28:09.260
It's like someone who's a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan one day coming out and advocating
00:28:16.100
It's so blatantly false and so obvious on its face that he doesn't mean this.
00:28:22.420
And then he just looks at the polls and realizes, holy crap, I'm in trouble in this election
00:28:27.960
if I don't find a way to politically justify what's going on.
00:28:32.000
And so what they do is just pretend like this has been our stance the whole time.
00:28:39.940
We're trying to clean up the mess that the previous administration left for us.
00:28:52.440
And he acts like he just hasn't had the power to stop this.
00:28:58.960
A couple of months ago, you were saying it wasn't even a problem.
00:29:03.460
Your border guy, your guy said that the border, the border was secure.
00:29:22.840
And again, we're at a place where we're, what, two and three times what it was when Donald
00:29:26.620
Trump was president or even when Barack Obama was president.
00:29:33.880
Now it's a problem and he's desperately trying to get these damn Republicans to help him out
00:29:43.040
And just to give you a quick sense before we go into the details of this bill, I did
00:29:47.380
this on, I went into more detail on State of the Race, which is a podcast.
00:29:51.100
I started a bonus podcast that we're just going through and giving you the details of what
00:29:54.520
you need to know for the election as we go through election season.
00:29:56.920
It's available, by the way, audio only wherever you get your podcasts on the Stude
00:30:06.800
And one of the things we went through this morning was why Biden is doing this.
00:30:21.080
Now, this is something, Pat, I mean, we've been doing the show in some form at some level
00:30:30.780
And ever since the day I heard you talk on the air, I heard you talk about the border
00:30:36.940
and how important it was and how it was out of control.
00:30:42.140
Conservatives for a very long time have said the border is a big issue.
00:30:45.480
However, at some points in our history, it has been almost a concern unique to the right.
00:30:51.800
Like conservatives were like, well, we care about it, but no one else cares about it.
00:30:55.380
Or like, they'll be saying, well, I will let, you know, uh, security might be important
00:31:01.180
after September 11th, but still it wasn't like a focus.
00:31:04.100
It was more of like a complaint where conservatives said, like, look, we have laws.
00:31:08.520
You had to follow, we, we lose our civilization if we don't enforce our laws.
00:31:12.960
And that was always a big part of the complaint.
00:31:15.380
Whether, even if you think it has a good impact on the United States, you can't let it to,
00:31:19.820
you can't let it continue because you're just allowing people to ignore laws.
00:31:23.540
Well, this is no longer a conservative niche complaint.
00:31:27.820
A situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is a crisis, 45%, and very serious, 30%.
00:31:35.140
So 75% of voters say it's either very serious or a crisis.
00:31:41.900
Which kind of explains why he's starting to take this seriously all of a sudden.
00:31:46.620
All of a sudden, he realizes this is a massive Achilles heel of his re-election.
00:31:58.160
This is not some academic conservative pursuit anymore.
00:32:04.520
And we also saw it was the number one concern of voters in Iowa.
00:32:11.200
It should be the most shielded from any border possible.
00:32:17.760
It also shows, that is, by the way, that 45% in crisis is up from May, from 38% to 45%.
00:32:25.360
So going the wrong direction, spiraling out of control for him.
00:32:28.580
Um, and, uh, 63% of voters say the situation at the border by the Biden administration should
00:32:41.040
Like, it's not like people are like, well, you know, the problem at the border is people
00:32:50.820
People are saying you've got to be tougher on the border.
00:32:52.860
And when they're saying that, and it's not just us, but it's people in the middle and
00:32:56.860
people on the left, I mean, 93% say it's a serious problem or a somewhat of a problem.
00:33:08.200
They're saying he, he doesn't really care if this border bill is passed.
00:33:13.620
And if you notice his words here, he says, it gives me the authority to shut down the
00:33:20.180
Now, is he going to use that authority if it is given to him?
00:33:24.040
He can obviously come up with reasons to not use the authority and still get the results
00:33:28.680
he wants on the border without actually implementing the policy.
00:33:31.640
But while saying, hey, I did something, I worked a bipartisan bill.
00:33:36.060
I worked together with the right and we came up with this solution and it's making things
00:33:42.100
Now, I don't think he believes it's going to go through, but if it fails, right, he gets
00:33:50.260
It's the Republicans stopping me from solving the border.
00:33:55.420
And it's, you know, look, Trump sees the politics of this as well.
00:33:57.860
He knows this is a disaster for Biden and doesn't want to give him a win leading up to the
00:34:07.940
Because he knows the politics for him are really good on this.
00:34:11.580
The more that there's crisis on the border, the better it looks for Trump, the more likely
00:34:15.740
And in his view, obviously, take care of this problem.
00:34:23.480
But let me give you a couple of the details of this actual proposal, if you can tolerate
00:34:32.060
You hear a lot of people are saying, oh, it's 1.8 million are allowed to cross the border.
00:34:37.840
I mean, in the bill, it says, if you have an average of 5,000 daily migrants coming across
00:34:42.760
the border, these new emergency shutdown powers do not kick in.
00:34:56.160
But it's a situation where like it was basically crisis levels for any other president other
00:35:02.000
Like Biden has been over 200,000 and over 300,000 in a month.
00:35:06.220
So this would be a major cut as to where we are now.
00:35:09.200
But it would be crisis levels under Trump or Obama.
00:35:12.700
So it is basically saying we can lock in really high levels of illegal immigration in perpetuity.
00:35:20.320
Now, in reality, it would be impossible to actually hit exactly 5,000 per day, right?
00:35:25.540
Like you couldn't, it would be, it wouldn't happen.
00:35:28.720
And there are some supposed consequences of that.
00:35:31.740
So if it's at 5,000 a day on an average, none of this stuff happens.
00:35:38.680
Once the 5,000 threshold is hit, this is according to Bill Malugan, who has sources telling him
00:35:44.740
He's been doing a good job down at the border for a long time.
00:35:48.840
And Fox News gets a lot of heat from the right these days.
00:35:51.180
Malugan's done a great job on the border and deserves credit.
00:35:53.840
But he says, once the 5,000 threshold is hit, a new authority is codified into law that requires
00:36:00.560
border patrol to immediately remove illegal immigrants they catch without processing.
00:36:09.660
This includes removals back to Mexico and deportations to home countries.
00:36:13.600
This would be a massive change from current policy, which is that once an illegal immigrant
00:36:18.380
reaches U.S. soil, they must be processed via Title 8 and allowed to claim asylum.
00:36:23.080
Under this new authority, they are not processed and they are mandatorily immediately removed
00:36:31.100
Now, you can read that and say, wow, that actually is a big change.
00:36:34.240
The word authority constantly throughout all of this makes me nervous because, I mean, does
00:36:40.520
he have the opportunity to not use this authority?
00:36:43.180
I mean, I know the word mandatory is in there, but that just seems to make it so the president
00:36:47.400
could activate this authority to make it mandatory.
00:36:51.020
It doesn't mean he mandatorily has to activate the authority, which is a difference.
00:36:56.220
But the shutdown, by the way, also kicks in if you go over 8,500 in any individual day.
00:37:04.800
So even if you're only 100 people are coming over a day, but then a caravan shows up, this
00:37:12.540
Also, the shutdown would not lift the next day.
00:37:15.060
It wouldn't lift until daily encounters are reduced to under 75% of the 5,000 threshold
00:37:22.900
So it would go down to 3,750 on average for two weeks.
00:37:29.320
Again, is anyone in the conservative world happy with 3,750 illegal immigrants coming in
00:37:36.620
This would be a bad day for anyone other than Joe Biden.
00:37:43.300
It used to be 1,000 a day was considered disastrous.
00:37:49.240
Look, you're going to get 100 get in every day?
00:38:05.560
The only way to have immigration into our country is through legal means.
00:38:17.560
We know who they are and their backgrounds and all of those things that seem pretty reasonable
00:38:23.540
for any sovereign nation to be able to ask of people coming to their country.
00:38:28.160
Instead, it's like, ah, that's another 5,000 every day.
00:38:36.140
Those are 3,000 people we don't know anything about.
00:38:41.840
Probably a good majority of them are, but there's probably some bad apples.
00:38:47.600
Like probably the majority of them are not necessarily here to do terrorism or, you know, but still.
00:39:00.360
Or are they excited to get a job that pays them five times what they make back in their
00:39:04.520
home country so they can send it back via Western Union?
00:39:08.700
And we shouldn't consider that, according to a lot of leftists.
00:39:12.160
Shouldn't even worry about our part in this or what they bring to us.
00:39:16.660
That's not supposed to enter into the equation.
00:39:21.400
Were you, you were, I don't know if you were here, Pat, when we showed the video yesterday
00:39:30.800
It's like, it looks like it's out of Star Wars.
00:39:34.480
It's this gigantic wall with razor wire everywhere.
00:39:39.460
Like triple layer of razor wire going up this 20 or 30 foot wall.
00:39:47.480
Like we should have a protection of our borders.
00:39:52.440
Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:55.080
In life, there are those who lead and there are those who follow.
00:39:58.180
And then when it's time to buy or sell a house, whatever you're trying to do in the real
00:40:01.480
estate world, the type of person you need is the former, not the latter.
00:40:05.060
A number of years ago, we, Glenn started talking about realestateagentsitrust.com as a company.
00:40:10.960
He had started and he did it for a really specific reason.
00:40:14.820
He had real problems with his real estate agents and, you know, buying or selling a home.
00:40:19.920
And, you know, this is, this is your largest financial transaction that you'll probably
00:40:25.360
Each time you buy or sell a house, that's usually the case as you go through life.
00:40:31.820
And this is your biggest commitment of funds really anywhere in your financial portfolio.
00:40:38.320
Do you just have some person that you've met who's a cousin of another cousin of their,
00:40:52.880

Um, Hamas' leader has just rejected the two-state solution.
00:43:40.140
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:44:04.180
We've been talking about what a border hawk our President Joe Biden is.
00:44:10.140
Wow, if he could just get Republicans on board, he would put the hammer down on the border.
00:44:16.860
And there wouldn't be a single person getting through illegally that we don't know about.
00:44:22.180
He also kind of said something similar back in 2020 about Iran and the way he was going to stop their shenanigans.
00:44:36.420
We'll take it back to 2020 and what he had to say then compared to what's going on now.
00:44:43.060

How tragic is it that due to a misidentified drone, we lost three troops in Jordan just the other day.
00:46:17.740
Three were killed, 40 more were injured, and it's because of a mistaken identity.
00:46:24.220
They thought the drone was ours, which is why they didn't shoot it down.
00:46:27.520
Apparently, they expected one to be returning, and it happened to be Iran's, and so we had that incident instead.
00:46:40.640
Do we have troops in every single nation on this planet?
00:46:52.340
We have them in Africa, spread throughout Africa.
00:46:56.060
Jordan doesn't even admit they're there because it would piss off their populace so much.
00:47:06.020
If you're going to take our troops to help protect you and your country, you need to embrace us.
00:47:14.760
You need to be like, you know who we're really excited to have here?
00:47:17.120
The United States of America because they're a great country, and we love working with them,
00:47:23.780
Part of these efforts should be a sales pitch to the populace.
00:47:27.600
That's currently not how it's being handled, however.
00:47:30.880
And that's why, I guess, some people around the region are saying,
00:47:35.040
nah, they're saying it was in Jordan, but they were really in Syria.
00:47:45.100
But, you know, look, Jordan is an ally of some level.
00:47:50.160
At some level, they are an ally, and, you know, they wanted us there.
00:47:58.140
You can question whether that's the right policy or not, but that's why they're there.
00:48:02.880
But it's opened up our troops to a lot of attacks.
00:48:05.900
There's been something like somewhere between 150 and 200 attacks between our bases in Iraq,
00:48:12.400
Afghanistan, and now Jordan, and this one turned deadly.
00:48:17.380
They were trying to make the case last week that, yeah, it was just severe head trauma
00:48:21.960
that our troops had endured up until this point.
00:48:27.060
That seems severe enough that you wouldn't call it just.
00:48:33.020
And these guys are being injured and attacked on a regular basis, and we've done very little about it.
00:48:43.380
They've been firing at us for months, and we've done almost nothing.
00:48:47.540
We've taken out their drones most of the time when they've come to us, but to give you the
00:48:51.960
calculus on this, these are $20,000 drones that we're hitting with million-dollar missiles.
00:48:59.160
Like, someone needs to, and I'm sure this is happening in the military, but, like, we need,
00:49:04.480
like, a $50,000 drone that can take out the $20,000 drone.
00:49:10.380
A little more cost-effective, because this is going to happen.
00:49:12.860
I mean, you've seen the documentary, um, uh, what is it called?
00:49:28.560
Olympus has fallen is the one I'm talking about?
00:49:31.080
Now, my knowledge of this movie, um, has to do with the trailer, but the trailer of
00:49:36.820
the movie, which is one of the, uh, the big scenes, is Morgan Freeman, I think, is the
00:49:42.460
He's out there on a boat having a nice fishing day, and all of a sudden, over the horizon
00:49:46.700
comes, like, a thousand drones that just suicide drone attack the President of the United
00:49:52.520
States, and lots of people die, and it's really, really bad.
00:49:55.760
And this is a, obviously, fictional representation of this type of thing, but it is absolutely
00:50:02.300
one of the largest threats that we face going forward.
00:50:11.220
This is not like, hey, we gotta keep Iran away from having nuclear weapons because of,
00:50:18.040
Anybody, you can buy these things on the internet.
00:50:24.960
There are also $1,000 drones that can do damage and have done damage.
00:50:29.300
You put some explosives, cheap explosives, on the side of them.
00:50:34.200
People are, there's assassination attempts that have almost been successful already, and
00:50:39.300
We better come up with some way of dealing with this, not firing million-dollar missiles
00:50:43.540
That is not going to be a long-term solution to this problem, and we better come up with
00:50:47.820
a technological solution real quick on this one.
00:50:50.180
But we've got people in office that are so incompetent.
00:50:52.280
I don't think they know what to do or how to do it, frankly.
00:50:54.960
Well, I mean, look, we have diversity concerns to think about, Pat.
00:51:01.360
Are there enough representatives of the LGBTQQIA2 plus community in the military?
00:51:08.480
How can we win a war if we're not diverse enough?
00:51:12.680
No army in history has ever won a war without diversity.
00:51:18.920
Like, for example, like, let's say some white male comes up with a $20,000 drone that can
00:51:31.700
I'd rather spend a million dollars every single time, because I want someone from the Laotian
00:51:37.660
person who came up with it, or Laotian would be fine, too.
00:51:41.460
But trans, bi, tri, pan, any form of sexuality.
00:51:46.020
I want a pan-sexual to design my drone defense.
00:51:53.600
I don't want a male who's attracted to a female to have anything to do with the defense
00:52:06.300
They're privileged people who are given these jobs just because they're white, and they're
00:52:12.640
male, and they also happen to attend universities and get master's degrees at technical schools.
00:52:23.000
What about a guy down the street who happens to be Hispanic and Jewish at the same time?
00:52:33.520
I want that person designing all of our aircraft.
00:52:37.360
What if we had Margot Robbie in charge of the entire military?
00:52:43.520
Because she used the word patriarchy, I believe, 400 times in the Barbie movie.
00:52:58.580
Did her use of the word patriarchy make up for her whiteness?
00:53:03.100
But, you know, it's funny because whiteness is apparently this huge advantage in life,
00:53:16.400
This is a little off topic, but it's tied to the border.
00:53:19.980
You know, the whole white privilege thing, right?
00:53:22.220
Like they say that having white skin is a privilege, right?
00:53:31.920
You don't even know they're there because you're white and it's just part of your life.
00:53:36.580
Same thing with being anything that's not in the LGBTQQIA2 plus community.
00:53:43.300
But, you know, I was thinking there actually is one level of privilege that does not get
00:53:52.860
That is like a legitimate thing that if you are a child grown into a family that decides
00:54:01.060
they don't want to speak it, you are disadvantaged in this country.
00:54:04.940
Until you learn the language, you will always be disadvantaged.
00:54:08.880
It's the one thing that is real privilege, right?
00:54:13.220
As a kid, you don't choose what language you speak.
00:54:17.080
And if they don't go through the trouble to learn the language or come here illegally
00:54:25.480
Like, if you wanted to really fight back against privilege, what you should do is massively
00:54:30.600
look to teach kids who don't speak English, English.
00:54:43.900
We tell people that they shouldn't have to do that.
00:54:46.020
And we put up signs in their language so that 10% of the time, they can understand what's
00:54:58.720
Just to give you a refresher on where this president was on the Iranian situation and
00:55:05.760
how upset he was at what Trump was doing about it and what he would do about it instead.
00:55:15.760
A president who says he wants to end endless wars in the Middle East is bringing us dangerously
00:55:23.000
A president who says he wants out of the region sends an additional 18,000 plus troops to do
00:55:32.100
An administration that claims its actions have made America safer in the same breath urges
00:55:38.040
our citizens to leave Iraq, puts Americans throughout the region on notice because of the increased
00:55:50.520
The regime has long sponsored terrorism and threatened our interest.
00:55:57.600
They've ruthlessly killed hundreds of protesters.
00:56:02.300
They should be held accountable for their actions.
00:56:11.560
Trump's approach in my view is demonstrably the latter.
00:56:17.740
And yet, you know, while I mock his slurred speech there, how much worse is it now?
00:56:28.200
Plus, where is that tough stance on Iran today after they've killed three troops and injured
00:56:39.180
Why aren't we putting the hammer down on Iran right now?
00:56:44.880
We should be all over their bases, the Houthis, their terror groups, the state-sponsored terrorists.
00:56:53.260
And what we've done so far, a couple of airstrikes here and there that have done almost nothing,
00:57:02.000
I mean, Biden has said they're not going to change their behavior because of them.
00:57:09.420
I guess the point, you could argue, at least, the point is to take out specific military
00:57:19.200
It hasn't, and you need to do more, especially when we're talking about these military installations
00:57:23.780
being drones that are $20,000 and can be fired from basically anywhere in range.
00:57:29.900
You're not going to stop that with this type of approach.
00:57:34.520
And we are on the wrong side of this new emerging type of warfare.
00:57:40.580
And our concern is how many QQIAs we have in the military.
00:57:46.360
Like, that can't be the way this is dealt with.
00:57:49.860
The military needs to, look, you can make an argument about Bud Light or Disney or Target
00:57:56.460
And, like, are there cultural reasons to push back against that?
00:58:00.920
But, like, you know, you want to have a company that does stuff like this?
00:58:06.680
You might find, as Bud Light has found out, the consequences can be significant, but you
00:58:11.340
can make those choices on your own behalf as a company.
00:58:14.760
When you come to the military, this stuff cannot exist.
00:58:19.220
It has to be barred from the military at all costs.
00:58:33.320
It is way more important than in any other realm of society.
00:58:40.620
Even if you only have a few minutes to spare during your morning routine, it is entirely
00:58:44.220

00:59:46.840
A great gift for the holidays coming up like Valentine's Day.
01:00:12.820
It's interesting to see what's been happening with that company lately.
01:00:16.760
One of the things they did that I thought was really smart was that they hired Peyton Manning
01:00:24.620
I mean, I don't know if they had to offer him, you know, a billion dollars to do it or
01:00:29.940
whatever the financial arrangement was, but is there anybody more likable in the NFL or
01:00:36.280
who has ever played in the NFL than Peyton Manning?
01:00:41.420
And so they got him, they enlisted him in this new, and Emmitt Smith, both to sponsor
01:00:51.740
They put in Emmitt Smith, obviously, despite the fact he was on the Dallas Cowboys, a legendary
01:01:04.460
All he does is seemingly throw passes with beer cans.
01:01:14.340
So they're coming out and they're really, they're swinging for the fences now.
01:01:18.240
They're really trying to get back on top of this thing.
01:01:20.860
And they've been trying for a lot of this, a lot of this controversy.
01:01:26.680
They've been trying to get back into the good graces of their customers.
01:01:29.940
It will be fascinating to see if they can do it just from a...
01:01:32.820
It will be in textbooks if they are able to undo all the damage they have done.
01:01:44.020
So they were by far the number one beer in America.
01:01:54.140
The last number I saw was in the 20s as far as the drop.
01:02:03.280
We've made this point before, but it's like, it's not the most egregious example of this
01:02:11.440
You know, the dilemma of anything is irritating because they're pandering.
01:02:17.180
Like this annoying pandering and this being mainstreamed into the culture is a problem.
01:02:23.280
The worst part of that was the, what was she, marketing head or something, the head of marketing
01:02:28.220
at Bud Light who came out and really insulted the customers of Bud Light.
01:02:35.780
And like, so I can understand the pushback and I can understand, but like, what's our
01:02:40.860
Our real concern is not an online influencer having a can named after, you know, with their
01:02:47.120
image on it, on a product that is specifically designed legally to only be consumed by people
01:02:57.760
Like they're just mainstreaming this into cartoons for four-year-olds.
01:03:05.040
And Bud Light, you know, look, we've got a beating.
01:03:08.640
And what's interesting about it is these people got fired.
01:03:11.800
They seemingly have attempted to repair this with their audience.
01:03:17.760
Now, that does not mean that you have to take that seriously.
01:03:20.420
It doesn't mean you have to believe that it's honest.
01:03:22.880
But at some level, I think there is an advantage to send a message to companies that say, you
01:03:29.960
If you go down this road and screw it up, conservatives will boycott you.
01:03:33.180
But if you come back and acknowledge what you did was the wrong direction with your actions.
01:03:42.380
Now, I can understand people saying, I screw it.
01:03:49.760
Now, I don't know if they paid him a bunch of money to drink it, maybe.
01:03:53.480
But, like, there is an advantage in this, let's call this wing of the culture war, to
01:03:59.460
send messages to advertisers that, hey, if you do something that is off kilter on this
01:04:11.020
Because what happens with those companies, if you send that message, is they just say,
01:04:16.920
well, now our only audience left is liberals, let's cater to them.
01:04:27.680
It's better, I mean, it's in some ways better to correct the action than to abandon these
01:04:32.340
companies forever, if they actually go along with their side of it.
01:04:35.360
And I definitely think a pretty powerful point was made with Bud Light.
01:04:46.800
Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging at times, but there are basic
01:04:54.460
Things like buying from companies that believe in what you and I believe in.
01:05:01.980
There's one company that has been willing to stand with you and your values forever,
01:05:06.780
ever since they've been an actual company since, like, I think it's 2012.
01:05:13.140
Their message is, and their mission statement's fantastic.
01:05:17.380
To passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.
01:05:28.900
Patriot Mobile is a great example because you don't have to sacrifice the coverage.
01:05:31.180
You get great coverage, and you get a great price, and you get a company that put God

01:06:35.860
I can't wait to find out who Taylor Swift tells me to vote for.
01:06:46.980
So, you voted for the Democrat in the Tennessee Senate election back in the day?
01:06:55.560
Now, my daughter might actually take this advice.
01:06:57.380
If she has a voting age and Taylor Swift told her-
01:07:08.540
She's got the Taylor Swift posters in the room.
01:07:10.980
She is suddenly interested in the Kansas City Chiefs.
01:07:22.420
There's nothing wrong with being a big fan of an artist.
01:07:24.800
I don't necessarily, you know, as a middle-aged or maybe beyond middle-aged white guy, I don't
01:07:32.600
fully understand, comprehend the absolute adoration there.
01:07:48.600
I mean, it's like Elvis and the Beatles combined, it seems.
01:07:51.560
It really is, like, up in those levels in that stratosphere.
01:07:54.820
I mean, I remember when we lived in Philly at the time when she first came out.
01:07:57.900
I think she was, I think she's from Redding, Pennsylvania, if I'm not mistaken.
01:08:02.160
And, like, she, like, was at the point in her career where she was customizing her songs
01:08:09.720
Like, singing different lyrics that mention the station.
01:08:12.900
You know, like, she was at that period when I first started hearing her.
01:08:15.240
And it's like, and I will say the best attribute, of course, of Taylor Swift is that she's actually
01:08:22.640
You know, for all the people who are like, oh, Kansas City.
01:08:34.480
I'm not really into the old Taylor Swift thing.
01:08:37.160
I was, I'm infuriated when they distract from NFL coverage to cover her.
01:08:43.820
I ranted about this on this show multiple times.
01:08:46.000
And I think they got enough negative feedback from NFL fans that they were really cognizant
01:08:54.940
It's a very small percentage of the game, of course.
01:08:57.540
But, like, they were really doing it a lot at the beginning.
01:09:13.820
I don't want to know what Taylor Swift's eating.
01:09:17.040
And I get that, like, expanding the audience, I can understand.
01:09:21.880
Look, she's the most famous person in the world.
01:09:24.560
Like, if they wanted to bring her on the broadcast to make an appearance, how much money would
01:09:30.860
Or, in this weird hack of the system, because she's in the crowd, they could just put Taylor
01:09:39.440
And, look, I can understand why a television executive would want to do that.
01:09:43.120
I don't understand why anyone would ever care who she's voting for.
01:09:48.540
I don't understand the endorsement process from a celebrity, why that would work, or who
01:09:54.640
But, supposedly, according to this latest poll, one-fifth of voters would vote for the person
01:10:07.920
In fact, you know, as a person who spends an enormous amount of time reading polls and
01:10:13.900
methodology behind them, and how they work, and how accurate they are, this is the type
01:10:21.480
It's like, if you are a person who loves Taylor Swift, you're probably already voting for
01:10:28.840
Like, now, can you imagine some liberal who loves Taylor Swift, and Taylor Swift comes
01:10:33.920
out and endorses Trump, would they vote for Trump?
01:10:39.180
And Taylor Swift, who does have her share of conservative fans, especially with her country
01:10:43.820
music roots, has people who got Trump signs on their front yard, and then Taylor Swift's
01:10:51.700
going to say, actually, I think you should vote for Biden.
01:10:54.240
Well, you know, I wanted low taxes, but now I don't.
01:11:04.740
And so, it's like, if you are a person who is that easily influenced, number one, you're
01:11:14.040
I mean, this is how they win elections, boys and girls.
01:11:20.420
Every time you say that, they're like, well, what about our democracy?
01:11:31.480
Like, I'm not trying to suppress brain surgery by saying that.
01:11:34.680
I'm saying, if you're an idiot and don't know anything about brain surgery, don't practice
01:11:41.820
If you haven't spent more than five minutes thinking about this, and you're looking at
01:11:44.980
Taylor Swift's opinion to guide your vote, just stay home and listen to Taylor Swift's
01:11:50.860
Whether you're going to vote for Trump, or you're going to vote for Biden, or whoever you're
01:11:54.160
going to vote for, if you're influenced by a celebrity, you shouldn't be voting at all.
01:11:59.800
And I will say, like, the whole endorsement process is overwhelmingly overrated.
01:12:05.740
I mean, the only thing it really, the only place you can really find any power of endorsements
01:12:10.200
is really party officials when you're talking about back-end politics.
01:12:14.120
Like, if you come into this race and you have two candidates that are close, Hillary Clinton
01:12:25.080
She had all the power structure of the party behind her.
01:12:28.080
And while she still won that election, it was...
01:12:32.900
She had all the benefits of the party pushing for her.
01:12:40.500
And Bernie Sanders had a really uphill battle to win that election because of that power
01:12:49.260
I mean, like, especially in today's day and age, Pat, where you have a situation where everyone
01:12:54.600
thinks about the presidential election three years ahead of time and absolutely is inundated
01:13:02.320
The fact that you could be swayed by a celebrity endorsement is laughable.
01:13:07.780
You have to be completely disconnected to the world for that to be effective.
01:13:12.020
Now, an endorsement might matter, Pat, if, like, you're...
01:13:25.340
And, uh, no one runs as a Democrat in this area because you're in Utah and it's a very
01:13:36.380
And then Mike Lee comes down and says, you know who the best one is?
01:13:39.860
That's the type of thing where you could say, all right, like, an endorsement might matter
01:13:43.400
because here's someone that I trust and they are deciphering between a bunch of very
01:13:51.000
Do you know who really is good for your school board?
01:13:58.020
You go to people who might know more about it, might be involved in that on a day-to-day
01:14:04.580
But it does not matter in the presidential election to almost everyone.
01:14:10.060
And if Taylor Swift is making you change your vote, you should lose it immediately.
01:14:21.900
We'll give Taylor an island and all of her followers can live there.
01:14:24.700
If that is going to make you change your vote, you don't deserve it.
01:14:29.780
It's part of your rights as a citizen, someone who was born here, you get a right to vote.
01:14:35.420
I don't necessarily love it, but I don't necessarily have the power to change that.
01:14:39.280
And unlike President Biden, I won't just put it in via edict.
01:14:43.480
Well, it was bad enough when MTV did the rock the vote thing.
01:14:51.920
Why should more people who don't understand any of these situations, circumstances, issues,
01:15:01.820
If they don't know anything about it other than they watch MTV, I don't want them voting.
01:15:06.440
And it's not even because it is somewhat motivated by the fact that they will vote incorrectly every
01:15:12.020
Because MTV is going to tell them who to vote for in the most subtle form possible.
01:15:17.820
But like, it's not even about like winning or losing elections.
01:15:24.880
Like, look, there are people who go to college and study economics and come out thinking like
01:15:30.660
I don't understand how, but okay, they do that.
01:15:35.380
You believe the left-wing way is the way to go.
01:15:37.780
You're willing to put up with all the negatives that come out of these policies.
01:15:44.740
But like the fact that like we would encourage people to go to the polls and cast a vote
01:16:00.340
You go back to what the founders talked about back in the day.
01:16:02.560
It wasn't like, hey, every idiot should go to the polls and make the decisions for everyone.
01:16:05.940
Oh no, that's why they limited the number because, you know, they didn't have communication like
01:16:12.980
And so they knew there were going to be a lot of ignorant voters.
01:16:20.140
You had to be a property owner in order to vote because you had skin in the game.
01:16:24.480
If you didn't have any skin in the game, they didn't necessarily want you voting.
01:16:28.220
And look, there have been all sorts of restrictions on voting, some of them very bad.
01:16:33.700
However, the idea that everyone is allowed to vote is fine.
01:16:39.340
It doesn't mean that everyone should be encouraged to vote.
01:16:44.480
That doesn't mean everyone should be encouraged to do it.
01:16:47.960
It's like some of these things, like this is something that if you spend time thinking
01:16:51.520
about this, you know, the Ben Franklin Republic, if you can keep it, is a good way of thinking
01:16:57.680
If you are actually in the game of caring about this stuff, and I'm not talking about
01:17:07.140
I'm talking about actually thinking, reading, doing things that would educate you as a voter.
01:17:16.060
We encourage it, even if you're voting against candidates that I like.
01:17:19.860
However, if you do none of those things, if the highest level of prep you've done in
01:17:25.400
your life is watch an episode of the Kardashians, don't vote, and don't feel bad about staying
01:17:33.560
The United States of America is a great country for you if you want to put no effort in.
01:17:37.480
If you just want to sit back and reap the rewards and go to work and take in cash and have a
01:17:44.280
bunch of really nice things around you, there's nothing wrong with that.
01:17:47.760
But you should make the decision to not be involved in the process that controls it, because you're
01:17:56.600
That's heresy, apparently, to some, but it's really true.
01:18:06.260
Melanie wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
01:18:09.240
I was very skeptical about trying Rough Greens.
01:18:17.000
Now, he only eats the food that I put Rough Greens on, and he has so much more energy than
01:18:23.040
Your dog may not know that he needs more nutrition than when it comes in his kibble food,
01:18:27.500
but his body knows Rough Greens isn't a dog food.
01:18:30.200
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your
01:18:37.540
You name it, if it's healthy for your dog, it's going to be in Rough Greens.
01:18:42.220
The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, that they
01:18:46.700
Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLEN33.
01:18:50.560
They're going to give you your first trial bag free.
01:19:04.880
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
01:19:11.220
I want to thank the one and only Pat Gray for coming in.
01:19:40.360
And I now welcome a surprise guest to his own show, Radio Hall of Fame member, Glenn
01:19:53.580
That's why you're not in the Hall of Fame and I am.
01:19:59.900
I had to go to the doctor and just in all, I just want to be very clear and please don't
01:20:06.260
take this as a bad thing, but I've been having some struggles lately and I got a diagnosis
01:20:17.560
I mean, you look like you're dying, but you're saying you're actually dying?
01:20:23.380
Could be faster than that, but it could take about 40 years.
01:20:32.900
But he said, there's nothing we can do about it.
01:20:37.300
I always thought all natural was good, but apparently not.
01:20:46.020
And so they're just going the extra step and checking my eyes to make sure that I can
01:20:54.180
And I'm like, yeah, you didn't have to jam the bright lights in my eye to, I could have
01:21:09.260
I know you've talked an awful lot about Taylor Swift.
01:21:21.640
I think also the effects of the idea that maybe 20% of all voters are going to change their
01:21:31.000
