Starting point is 00:01:08 of the Union last week. And there is something that I think is really important that he said in that. Yes, he talked about the rights of children born and unborn. I was proud of him on that. Of course, those few
Starting point is 00:01:25 Democrats that actually stood and applauded on that, he called Congress to ban all late-term abortions performed once a child in the womb could experience pain. Once again, good. Now, there's something else that he said that I thought was really good, very patriotic, yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:01:47 But I haven't seen anybody really talk about this the way perhaps it should be. And today, with the new candidates jumping in and the new Green Deal, we should go back to the president's speech. And we do that in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program.

And then I stop talking about it and you will forget about it until I start talking to you about it tomorrow. So do it right now. Offer ends today. Use the radio code Beck. It's 1-800flowers.com. Code Beck, 1,800flowers.com. Do you remember the towards the end of the speech?
Starting point is 00:03:47 The president said one thing that I thought was stunning that a president had to say. and I was glad he said it. He took an unequivocal stand against socialism. And if you remember right, he said, America will never be a socialist country. And all the Republicans, and I think there were a couple of people in the Democratic Party that stood up for that.
Starting point is 00:04:09 We will never be a socialist country. I want to point this out in a different way because most people in the press have a good. ignored it. We have said, yes, finally somebody is saying it. But what is it that he actually said? When he said the United States will never be a socialist country, the feeling in the room was palpable.
Starting point is 00:04:41 But what was it he actually said? Because we've heard him say it before, just in different words. In fact, we've heard it said by every single member of Congress. just in different words. Those words, I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That's what he said. We'll never be a socialist country.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Why that was so shocking, and I didn't think of it at the time, why that was so shocking is because it's been a long, time since we've heard any politicians say those words outside of their oath that they quickly forget, I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Now, the problem is Democratic Socialists, their agenda here in the U.S. is crazy. Do we have that audio we just played from Cory Booker on the New Deal? The New Green Deal. Listen to this. Our plan is in peril and we need to be bold. It's one of the reasons why I signed on to the resolution
Starting point is 00:06:07 and co-spons with the resolution for the Green New Deal. And there's a lot of people now that are blown back on the Green New Deal. They're like, oh, it's impractical. Oh, it's too expensive. Oh, it's all of this. If we used to govern our dreams that way, we would have never gone to the moon. God, that's impractical. You see that ball in the sky? That's impractical. We are a nation that has done impossible things before. And my parents talk about. We reach for the, reach for the moon. Stop. The stars.
Starting point is 00:06:35 This is the problem. You notice how they're framing this, that this is a moonshot, that this is something that we're going to do together. And it's, it's, it's fantastic. The moonshot was something that we, that we did together through private companies. We did it together. Now, there were public things like NASA as well. And we have debated.
Starting point is 00:07:03 that forever in fact we've just gotten out of that and we now have things like SpaceX which are showing us that they can do things much faster much cheaper and better than even NASA but what we're talking about with the new green deal is something entirely different see our Constitution says there is a bill of rights and these are the things that the people own and the government government must never do these things ever. What the Green, the new deal, the new Green deal does is, in Akosio-Cortez's own words, takes the second Bill of Rights, which was attempted by FDR, and expands that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Well, we never passed the second Bill of Rights. Americans, they don't even know there was an attempt to do this. And what it was was to say there is a new bill of rights. Forget about all those other ones. Here's the Bill of Rights. The United States government believes that you have a right to a house. You have a right to a job. You have a right to food.
Starting point is 00:08:27 You have a right to medicine and medical care. Well, we've already passed the medical care. They're doing it in bits and pieces. Now this is a large sweet. to be able to take over the entire economy. This is not constitutional. Now, that's why you see progressives. They hate the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
Starting point is 00:08:53 They hate it. They need it to be destroyed. That's why they try to convince people that it's a living document, that it's out of date written by dead old white men. The Constitution is a barrier, you see. it's a barrier to fascism, to socialism, to communism, to all forms of statism, because the Constitution is written as you are the king. You are the one who is in charge of your life.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And democratic socialist hate it. And they think if the people democratically choose socialism, then somehow it makes it fair and acceptable. But that's exactly. what the Constitution prevents. No matter how the people might vote, the Constitution makes the voting part irrelevant. Slavery, by the way,
Starting point is 00:09:51 even if it's won by a popular vote is still slavery. Popular vote doesn't matter. Doesn't matter how you try to spin it. The people want slavery. Well, the people can't have slavery. The Constitution inherently limits the power of democracy to ensure that our natural guns, God-given rights as individuals are never subverted by popular opinion.
Starting point is 00:10:21 This is the antithesis of the socialist doctrine. Our founding documents identify and protect the rights and the freedom of the individual against the state. Socialism and socialist doctrine protects the rights and interest of the state and the collective over the rights of the individual. You know, very few people have the courage to speak out. and face the criticism. I don't know what it is about Donald Trump, but he seems to thrive on criticism. And in an era where standing for the rights of the individual
Starting point is 00:11:01 and standing up for America first leads to rampant accusations of racism and misogyny and bigotry and greed, it kind of makes a guy who thrives on criticism, kind of the only guy who could possibly weather this storm. By saying America will never, never be a socialist country. What Donald Trump said last week is we are going to continue to live under the U.S. Constitution. What he said yesterday or last week, what he said on the on the on the on the on the on the
Starting point is 00:11:49 platform with Nancy Pelosi grinning at him was something I haven't heard a politician say after they've taken the oath. I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Back to the program in one minute. Stand by. Nobody should feel unsafe at home. Fear doesn't have a place in our homes. And that's been SimpliSafe's mission from day one.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Three million families and businesses already agree and are now protected by SimpleSafe. this company $3 million. That's amazing. I know. They had like three the first time we talked to them. I know. This company started, we remember when they had five or six employees
Starting point is 00:12:40 and they started and now they're this this billion dollar company and we're so proud to be associated with them. They're just really good people that really care about the product. They care about the people that buy their product.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They care about the product. They have it in their own home. They're living it. And I just, I just love it. Simply safe blanks, blankets your whole home with protection. Around the clock professionally monitoring. Make sure the police are on the way when you need them. There are no contracts.
Starting point is 00:13:13 It is 1495 a month to be able to have that professional monitoring 24-7. We had a video feature too where they can capture high-quality video of someone, instead of like the grainy nonsense that you usually see out of security cameras. high quality video, a clip of what happened, where it happened, who it was. And then when police show up, they're going to have video of it and not have to guess. That's kind of nice.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And the video is like Stu said, not just a gray blob. We're looking for a gray blob kind of in this shape. I mean, it's actually a picture of video you can use.

Should we get into the new green deal and the nonsense that happened this weekend? How can we not? It's so much fun. So can we, let's start just by going over the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal or the New Green Deal, whatever, which one ever it is.
Starting point is 00:14:46 It would be the green New Deal. They're trying to keep New Deal together because that's innovative democratic policy. You see, there's this great idea of a New Deal that is so new and exciting to all these millennials who probably don't know that there was a new deal and then a new new deal, which was rejected by the American people. This is the final play, I believe, to subvert the Constitution in the Bill of Rights. This is the play to reverse the bill. of rights and change our system into, and there's no hyperbole here, read it for yourself. You change the system from a charter of negative liberties against the government to a charter of positive liberties, the things the government must do, and you have the Soviet Union constitution,
Starting point is 00:15:39 which, by the way, was changed like every 10 or 15 years. Mm-hmm. So the one of the big things is they will, of course, get us off of fossil fuels completely within like a decade, which is pretty aggressive considering the amount that we use them now. I guess I don't, we still don't know an answer like, will we be able to use plastic cups? Well, no, we won't be able to use. No, I guess not. Well, if we're not getting fossil fuels, we also won't be able to take medicine because a lot of medicine is coated in, you know, petrochemical. and so, you know, to be able to take your medicine in that capsule, you need fossil fuels. So if we're not using fossil fuels, you won't be able to take any capsules. Minor things like that. Yeah, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:16:25 99% of cars would be taken off the road because they want all electric. Every building, every structure in America would need to be retrofitted with all sorts of different eco materials, which by the time you finish the job would be completely outdated anyway. But they're talking about only tearing down or gutting every structure in America. Every structure in America. Now, this is what Cory Booker just said. You know, people say that's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You're getting rid of all cars within 10 years, all fossil fuels within 10 years. You want to tear down or gut and rebuild every single structure in the United States of America in the next 10 years. Yeah, there's a difference, too, between impossible and impossible on inspiring photos, right? Like, there's those little hang in there posters that you can get that inspire you at work. You hang them on your wall. And it's like, you know, resilience. And then there's like a nice little quote about it. And there's somebody who's, like, climbing a mountain.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Right. Like that, yeah, you could say that's impossible. But that's not really the term what really impossible means. You look at the moon. Look, it's a straight shot. There's almost no traffic. You can get there. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Right. That's not impossible. Right. Impossible is getting rid and retrofitting every single structure in the country, plus taking 99% of cars off the road and replacing them with a whole new fuel system within 10 years. That's impossible. The fuel system that you don't have yet, by the way. Fuel system that we don't even know what it is. Also, you know, replacing it, I would assume that because they didn't ban coal, that we would be using coal.
Starting point is 00:18:07 but coal is dirtier than the combustion engine today. Well, obviously coal's not going to be a factor glad. In fact, not even nuclear power is going to be a factor, even though it has zero emissions. They want that gone, too. The funniest part about this is how they say they're going to pay for it. Now, of course, that's the Cory Booker, you know, he's indignant over something like a question like that. How are we going to pay for it? Well, we're going to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the same thing. Well, we're going to pay for it because we're a rich country and we can pay for it. In the document, they say they will pay for it the same way they paid for the New Deal, which in case you're following along is $50 trillion of debt. That's how they paid for the regular New Deal. The old-timey New Deal has caused us $50 trillion of debt. So that's how they're going to pay for the Green New Deal. They actually cited as a positive example, the New Deal,
Starting point is 00:18:58 which is causing almost all of our debt problems. But go ahead. That's a good way to do it. No, it's just like you to just like you to just, to say these things like that. I was quoting them, so I don't know if it was just like me. It was more like just like them. No, you can't quote them and still not be a conspiracy theorist.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Didn't you learn that over the weekend? That you can still quote them and be called a conspiracy theorist. So what one of the guys was saying that was on her team was that this is not going to just cause debt. They're going to be able to print this money. They're going to print this money and they're going to print this money and they're going to buy the stuff. But remember, it's two few goods being chased by too many dollars, right? Too many dollars chasing two few goods. That's inflation.
Starting point is 00:19:54 But they say, if we are tearing down all of America, those dollars are going to be chasing goods. We have to make those goods. So we're going to be fine. There's not going to be hyperinflation because we can just print the money and make the goods. This is China's philosophy, right? This is how you come up with ghost cities where no one lives. Yes. You spend hundreds of billions of dollars on cities with skyscrapers that remain empty because no one lives there or wants to live there.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And it eventually fails. And it eventually fails. And they're seeing that now as a, you know, they're already seeing the beginnings of that. And their people are feeling the beginning. beginnings of that. And if you have a complete control over the government and complete control over every person in your country, you can get away with that for a little while. Now, just so we have the Green New Deal, you know, really covered, we just want to let you know that it also is banning all airplanes. Yes, that's true. We did, we did forget about that. In 10 years. Now, isn't she revising
Starting point is 00:20:57 that now? She's saying we wouldn't necessarily. No, we'd phase them out. We'd phase them out. Because phase those things with the 40-year life. span out over 10 years. Yeah. That's okay. We're just going to phase them out because we're going to find new technology in the next 10 years. We'll probably, and I'm quoting, have solar technology for solar planes. Better good above those clouds pretty fast.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. Yeah. I'm a pretty super light and efficient batteries too. Yeah. Yeah, really light and really efficient. But again, like I always question this because they always say that. conservatives are anti-science. Okay, that's a big claim.
Starting point is 00:21:39 We're anti-science. We don't care about science. But, like, if you get a development like you're talking about, there would be no need for any of these laws. No. If science does, in fact, and create these things that would have cut emissions by that much because solar technology and battery technology improves
Starting point is 00:21:55 so by leaps and bounds, which I think is really possible. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. When that happens, you're not going to need any of these loss. Right? So that's the problem here, is they have to both say, There's magical scientific innovation right around the corner, but not unless we do these laws that won't require it. It really is circuitous. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. Public Wi-Fi is a nightmare. Public Wi-Fi. The problem with public Wi-Fi is it has, you know, the problem in the name. Public.

Welcome to the program, the Glenn Beck program with Pat Gray now joining us from Pat Gray Unleash. the podcast that you can hear anytime wherever you find your podcast or you can also listen to him live prior to this broadcast on the Blaze Radio and Television Network. BlazTV.com slash Beck. Okay. Pat Gray. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I heard driving in a story today from Great Britain. Yeah. And you said it's coming here and it absolutely is coming here. The only reason why they're ahead and they're ahead. The only reason why it's not here is because for the time being, we have the First Amendment. Yeah, exactly. But that's quickly being done away with. As we see every day in the news, I mean, sure you've gotten freedom of speech, but you can't have your job.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I mean, come on. That's crazy. And California just contemplated, and did they pass the law? I'm trying to think, where if you use the wrong pronoun in school, in public schools, you can be arrested. Is that a problem? And find. Wait, if I use the wrong pronoun, I can be arrested? Well, in Great Britain, a 38-year-old mother was arrested in front of her children and locked up for seven hours and intensely interrogated after referring to a transgendered woman as a man online.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Wait, she didn't beat the person, she didn't shoot the person, she didn't torture the person. she referred to the person as a man on line. Wow. And you arrest her for that? And that's different from a bullet how. Well, in that it didn't hurt or kill anyone. I mean, it hurt feelings, perhaps. But it used to be sticks and stones would break your bones.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Names would never hurt you. That's not the case anymore. Especially in Great Britain. But again, it is coming here. I mean, we see it every day. Three officers detained her and quizzed her to station at the station for seven hours for dead naming now that's told you yeah dead naming told you it's not great that i love that expression yeah dead naming uh you can't dead name people now what
Starting point is 00:26:51 dead naming means is uh you cannot say um anything about uh kately n Jenner you could say about but you can't see Bruce Jenner what that's a dead name that's a dead name how did you mention bring it up. Bruce Jenner, you're dead naming Caitlin. And that name is dead. Despite the fact that that dead name was a gold medal winner in the Olympics. That would be like if Adolf Hitler would have on the last day of the war said, I'm a woman. I'm Gertrude Hunzel's flight.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And I want everybody to know, I'm Gertrude Hunzelflip. And you'd go, wait, you're eight. Adolf Hitler. How dare you. You named him. Oh, her. Her, you dead named her. That is a different life that never happened.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Well, to the point where in documentaries about the Olympics, they now will say Caitlin Jenner, who at this time was named Bruce Jenner. And it's like, well, Caitlin Jenner would not have qualified for the event. If she was a woman, she would not be able to have been in the event that she supposedly won. You can talk about Bruce Jenner's. accomplishments, but you are not to connect them to Caitlin Jenner. You can't do that. That's dead naming. You can't.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So they're not the same person. You can't have Caitlin Jenner show up for an appearance to celebrate the Olympic victory. They're not the same person. No, they're not the same person. I think that Caitlin Jenner would disagree with this. Wouldn't Caitlin Jenner be like, hey, wait a minute. Like, I didn't do all those things. I disagree with almost all of this crap.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Caitlin Jenner, I mean, is one person. who makes a lot of sense on a lot of this crap. And that's saying something. But I don't think that Caitlin Jenner is the person that wants to put anybody in jail because you're like, oh, it was Bruce Jenner. Weren't you Bruce Jenner at one time? Put him in jail. That is not Caitlin Jenner.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I think Caitlin Jenner would say, yes, I was. But I'm not anymore. Yes. And that's the way it should be. Right. Yes, because your eyes don't think. deceive you. The history books are not wrong. This all happened and we all know it. So you go to jail now. In Great Britain, you go to jail if you call someone somebody the wrong pronoun. That's crazy. Oh my gosh. I mean, would you have ever as weird as the world has been,
Starting point is 00:29:28 especially since 2009 when Obama took over, I could have never predicted something like this. this gender thing is so out of control and upside down. It's all encompassing, too. It is. It's all encompassing. It's the same with the new Green Deal. Yeah. The,
Starting point is 00:29:44 the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, this is all encompassing. This is to give, to change the constitution into a constitution of positive liberties,
Starting point is 00:29:57 which ruins it. It's not the constitutioning. No, it's everywhere else. It's why the Canadians, I ask, Gad Sad, who I think we're going to try to expedite his podcast and maybe put it out this week. Oh, really? We're going to try.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Is that your way of telling us to do that? No, I wrote some of it. Yes, but take it as that. Okay. I wrote to somebody on Friday and asked if we could expedite that. But he's remarkable. And I said to him, why is it, why is it that it's all the Canadians that are standing up? Where is academia here in America?
Starting point is 00:30:32 And there are a few academics that are standing. ending up. But Canada is on the war path. And he said, because we don't have the illusion of freedom of speech, you guys have the First Amendment and you think you'll always have it. We know we don't have it. And so if we don't fight for it, we're going to lose it. Right. That's a really good point. And same in Britain. And this, and what's scary is, you just think you're always going to have it. Yeah. And unless you even know it, you won't have it. And I'm telling you, this is the most radical Congress ever elected. Oh, no question.
Starting point is 00:31:09 There was a tweet put out because of this whole Green New Deal and the back and forth with Akazio-Cortez. And how that was a lie and it was made up. And yet every 76 congressmen have signed on to it. Including a bunch of them that are running for precedent. Yeah. By the way. 76. 76 congressmen, senators,
Starting point is 00:31:34 and presidential candidates have signed on to it. That's getting rid of cars. That's getting rid of airplanes. Within 10 years. That's, that's decimating every house. Trying to stop cow farts. Every house, all of it. So there was this big thing about the cow farts and whether or not it's a job for those
Starting point is 00:31:54 who won't work. That's what we're arguing about. We're arguing about if the cow farts were in there or whether they were guaranteeing a job for people who, were unwilling to work. That's your problem, America? So anyway, the guy who put it out is her chief of staff. Do you know who the chief of staff is?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Do you know how radical that guy is? I actually thought of Van Jones this weekend and thought, dude, I think you're probably on our side. I think you are starting to look like a conservative. They've overtone windowed us to the point where Van Jones looks like a conservative. And I mean that sincerely. I think Van Jones is probably not welcome anywhere near Acosio Cortez and her people. I know he got lots of heat for working with Jared Kushner on the criminal justice reform stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I mean, the Democrats didn't like, yeah, how dare you work with them and cross that line? I mean, it is amazing. I mean, that's how far we've come that fast. We were pointing out that Van Jones had all these past beliefs and he hadn't really shunned them yet when it comes to communism and socialism. Now, like, that's the mainstream position of the Democratic Party, and Van Jones is no longer welcome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:21 And that is phenomenal to me. Absolutely phenomenal. I heard you talking about the State of the Union address last week where the president said we will never be a socialist country. Can you imagine a Democrat saying that? I can't think of a single Democrat who would declare that. You can't. You can't.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Not with 76% of the 76 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal that can't. You can't. You can't. That is fascism. Well, what? That's fascism. It's up when he said it. I think three of them stood up.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I mean, think of it. We've only had one Democratic president since the Democratic president was on the stage saying the era of big government is over. God. Jesus. That is not. That's one. Democratic president ago, you couldn't elect Bill Clinton in the Democrat Party now. Well, no, let alone JFK.
Starting point is 00:34:10 For different reasons, too. Yes. Still. Now they don't like him. And I guess that's partially because of his shenanigans when it comes to women, when the Me Too thing. But also, I think he doesn't fit ideologically anymore. No. He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:34:25 When are the regular Democrats going to wake up? And I don't think they will because the press is covering. for all of this. Listen to this. Fact checkers spard with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over their alleged bias, but it ended on a high note. Okay?
Starting point is 00:34:45 It talks about, beyond the fracas, the episode touched off a larger in public back and forth about fact-checking, how claims are chosen and the standards used in checking them. That's because of Akazio-Cortez
Starting point is 00:34:57 in a quit-Twitter thread. Ask how fact-checkers do their work, their rules, and whether she's being treated fairly compared to other high-profile officials like White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The fact-checkers answered, tweeted out their rules of engagement, and explained how she was not being held to a standard different than anyone. And from there, the Congresswoman pivoted away from conflict. She called fact-checking critically important and said it was important for everyone to know the rules and thank the fact-checkers for their work. The Washington Post fact checker responded, this is classy, and I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:35:40 As confrontations over fact checking go, the outcome was as close to a win-win that can be had. Acosio Cortez's cordial exit let her reclaim some high ground, even if her original tweet is still there. The fact-checkers got a high-profile opportunity to explain how they do it. and why? Oh, good. Oh, that's good. Oh, good. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:36:06 Did you read David Harsani, who used to work for the blaze? Yeah. You read his article on how biased these fact checkers are? Oh, yeah. And the way they cherry pick their facts and how they spin everything. It's just the fact checkers are not fact checkers. Well, I'm going to give you, you know, when I used to say, hey, you know, we should look at the people surrounding some of these leaders. I think we might want to do that again.
Starting point is 00:36:33 A non-visual chalkboard for radio coming up in just a minute. Who is the chief of staff of Ocasio-Cortez? This guy makes Van Jones. Remember, Van Jones 10 years ago, I said it was one of the most dangerous people in America because he was a communist radical that would never explain his past. I believe
Starting point is 00:37:03 that looks like a I don't even know a Mr. Rogers episode of extremism compared to this. I'm going to introduce you to the guy who actually wrote the
Starting point is 00:37:19 Green New Deal and is her chief of staff. Wait until you meet him and his heroes. That's at the top of the hour. Thanks, Pat. Blinds.com, one home improvement you can do that will totally change the look and feel of your home.

Starting point is 00:38:48 Boy, there's some, maybe it's just me because we've been surrounded by heart attacks and deaths recently. There's some icons that are being lost. One of them is a huge, huge champion of small government and small spending and getting back to a real budget. Yeah, real loss with Walter Jones, Congressman, who passed away, I believe it was yesterday. And he was one of the, he's in the Liberty Caucus,
Starting point is 00:39:30 with Justin Amash and Thomas Massey, and that type of group that we did a list, I think it was, a couple weeks ago, where they ranked the best voting records when it comes to government spending and cutting. And Justin Amash was one, Thomas Massey was two, you know, Jimmy Duncan, Raoul Labrador, Morgan Griffith, and Walter Jones was next on that list. I mean, he was one of the best, he was one of the best congressmen when it comes to spending stuff. I love how the rally news and observer covered it. Walter Jones, congressman who worked to at tone for his Iraq war vote is dead at 76. Now, this is a true story in which he voted initially for the Iraq war and then came to not like it so much.
Starting point is 00:40:10 He fought very hard for veterans issues. It was basically his biggest life passion. And he would, he constantly worked for the rights of veterans and make sure they were taking care of. And he found that he was, he thought he was wrong on that vote. And, you know, okay, that was certainly a part of his career and a part of what. what he fought for. An important part, though. I mean, I don't think that's a slam.
Starting point is 00:40:33 It's not a slam. It's just the one thing they highlight. This is a guy, again, he's one of the top people who's consistent when it comes to shrinking the size of government. You know, this is, and yes, the Iraq War vote was part of it. Is that a headline though? A congressman who just tried to atone for a mistake. Like, they found a mistake he made.
Starting point is 00:40:52 So that's what they highlight in the actual. Well, much better than the, much better than all of the congressmen who don't atone for their mistakes. Don't ever admit their mistakes. And never do it. You give Jones a lot of credit here. It's a real loss for us in Congress and the fight for liberty. He was a real ally in that fight and definitely sorry to see him go.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Well, good news is we have Akazio Cortez. Oh, okay. And her chief of staff, who I will introduce to you next. If you are already owned a home and it might be time to think about refinancing, I think it's a great time because these interest
Starting point is 00:41:31 rates have never been lower. We were a historic period of low interest rates. So why not refinance into something that makes some sense, especially if you have a adjustable rate mortgage? You can get out of that and get to a 30-year fixed. Got it. Got to do it. Because then you never have to worry. If interest rates go up later, you're going to make more money on whatever you have in the bank and you're going to be able to help pay your mortgage off. Yep.

Starting point is 00:42:24 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glemba program. Well, I think it's about time we get the old chalkboard out and we start connecting the dots of the radicals. Because this weekend, while everyone was talking about the Green New Deal and arguing back and forth whether or not that Ocasio-Cortez had in her original Green New Deal, calfarts or not, we kind of missed that this is a complete reversal of the Constitution and 76 Democrats have already signed on for it.
Starting point is 00:43:17 The most radical Congress in American history is now in place. And we might want to look at the people surrounding them. I begin with the chief of staff of Ocasio-Cortez in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, there's nothing better when something that's really amazing gets even better. All office chairs are not. Not the same. There are those, you know, crappy chairs that you can, you know, you can get from staples or wherever.
Starting point is 00:43:58 And they contribute to our bad backs and our necks and our shoulders. And then there's X-Chair, improved wheels. Now you can enhance your X-Chair's performance and protect your floors with the incredible new X-wheel blade caster. These are urethane wheels that are driven, butter smooth, whisper-quiet ball bearings, and they are built to last. A wider base. Because we generally as Americans now have a wider base. The good people at X-Chair have noticed that our bases are getting wider, and so their chairs should get a little wider as well.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Speaking from experience here? I don't know what you're talking about here. Then the new X-Chair Basic, great chair, great price.

Stu, I'm going to share something that I think is incredible. I think is something that Americans really... need to wake up to, especially Democrats. Who is behind Ocasio-Cortez and her Green New Deal? Who's behind that?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Well, we know now because it was, you know, because you can't hide on the internet. They went back and forth all weekend about, no, I didn't say cow farts. That wasn't something we put in there. No, no, no. We didn't say that whether you're willing or not. willing to work, you'd get money from the government.
Starting point is 00:46:08 No, no, no, we didn't say anything about that. First, misdirection. Why argue about something of such nonsense when you're talking about a complete reversal of the Bill of Rights? And that's not my words. That's their words. This is addition, in addition to Franklin Roosevelt's second Bill of Rights. Well, we didn't have a second Bill of Rights.
Starting point is 00:46:34 America rejected it. Why? Because it reverses us and makes us into a socialist or fascistic state. A state where you might own public production, but the state guides you. That's fascism. The other is communism where the state owns all of the means of production. And only for a while, because then it gives it to the people. remember that.
Starting point is 00:47:06 And it always happens that way. It gives it right to the people. This is the people's plant, although none of the people actually have a say in how it's run. Well, they do give it to people. It's just usually the people at the very top of that are in the government. They're the ones that wind up getting it in the end. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:21 So psychot, I know I'm going to butcher his name, and I apologize for it. Chakra Barty is my favorite of the Chakra Barty family. Thank you. He is. uh, Ocasio Cortez's chief of staff. And I just want to show you how arrogant and comfortable they are. You remember when I was in last week, last Tuesday, I went to the state of the union and I told you afterwards. What was stunning to me was the arrogance and how radical this class was.
Starting point is 00:48:04 this is I'm telling you right now Van Jones looks like you know a puppet in one of Mr. Rogers' kingdom plays. He is nothing compared to this incoming class. And we're going to show you some examples of that. But I just want to show you, you know, you look to somebody and you say, who are their heroes? Who are their heroes? You know, who do they spend time thinking? thinking about? Who are they, who are they surrounding themselves with? For instance, behind me is a painting that I did this weekend of Abraham Lincoln. And when I'm painting, I'm
Starting point is 00:48:53 generally painting something that is uplifting, something that somebody I admire, etc., etc. That's the way people are. You don't generally wear things or surround yourself with pictures of people you despise. Nowhere in the Democratic Party are there pictures of me and my family on their desk, unless they're just focused on destroying me. Nobody's like, you know what, I'm going to wear a Glenn Beck t-shirt. Ben Jones doesn't own one.
Starting point is 00:49:31 So who does psychot? Who is he willing to wear a t-shirt? And that face is on there. Now, we have seen people that wear Che Guevara. Che, of course, we know is a brutal killer, hated homosexuals, hated African-Americans, brutal, brutal killer of artists and poets and writers and press. He was a psycho, although he's kind of acceptable. So as I'm looking at the
Starting point is 00:50:11 I'm looking at the website of Ocasio-Cortez and I'm trying to figure out who wrote this Green Deal? Well, the guy who put it out and who is marked as the author on the PDF is her chief of staff. So who is he? Well, he's a hot hunk. That's who he is. Oh, you should see him.
Starting point is 00:50:38 He's a hot hunk. honk. Well, looking at the hot hunk pictures that are going around where all of the women are saying, oh, look at him. He's a hot hunk. I noticed that he's wearing a t-shirt of somebody that I thought, who is that? Well, Stu, have you ever heard of, and again, I'm going to butcher the name, Nataji Subhoss,
Starting point is 00:51:07 Chandra Bose, I think. Okay. I was just seemed like a lot of letters you mixed up. Yeah, well. So he was a guy that in 1928, he started the Indian National Congress, 1928, somewhere in that. And what was happening in the world in 1928, 29? Well, there was a big explosion kind of like there is now of nationalism, communism, extremism, fascism, and nationalism.
Starting point is 00:51:45 So he was a nationalist, and he started the Indian National Congress in 1929. And he had everybody, there was 2,000 people in this, and he had everybody march in these new uniforms that he had made. Does this sound familiar? Who else in 1920s was getting people together under a national socialist flag, making uniforms and having them march in in these grand parades. We'll get back to him in a minute. Gandhi saw this in 1928 and said,
Starting point is 00:52:20 this is an absolute circus. But Gandhi would later have to take a stand. In 1935, this guy was, this guy was a full-fledged fascist and was calling for a dictator. He wrote a book, and see if this sounds familiar to you, Stu. He wrote a book you might have heard of, or it might sound familiar. It was called Indian struggle. Struggle, like a comf, or as it were. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Like a mind conf. My struggle, this is Indian struggle. Indian comp. Right, okay. You know, and the struggle also jihad. Okay. So he writes the Indian struggle when Hitler is writing my struggle. They both are talking about fascism. In 1935, he decides he's going to bring this book to one of his heroes, Benito Mussolini. Now, the reason why he left India is because Gandhi and Nehru were against him. And they said, we have no place for you. There is no place for the kind of violence and the kind of system that you are asking for.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Gandhi said that national socialism and communism, you can't blend these two things. You can't go either direction because they're both wrong. So he's chased out by Gandhi. Now, I want you just to understand. This guy has a choice between Gandhi and Mussolini and Hitler. He chooses Mussolini and Hitler, not Gandhi. So he goes over to Mussolini, gives him a book. Then he goes over in 1941.
Starting point is 00:54:29 So there's no doubt who Hitler is in. 1941. He goes over in 1941 to meet with Herr Hitler. And they meet. And he meets with, I think it was Gerbils and the Nazis give him his own stormtroopers. Isn't that great? And his own little radio facility called Radio Free India. So he can spill his propaganda, his anti-Gandhi, anti-Nayru propaganda, pro-national socialist propaganda into India. He then goes over to the imperial state of Japan, and he sides with the Japanese, and the Japanese also give him stormtroopers, if you will.
Starting point is 00:55:19 In 1943, he put together the provisional government of a free India. He declared himself head of state, prime minister, Minister of war, and Minister of Foreign Affairs. he expected to continue this after the war was won by the Japanese and the Nazis. And he insisted on absolute loyalty to him and execution and torture of those who disagreed with him. He in the same year, he talked about how India needed a ruthless dictator, not just to get rid of the English, but a ruthless dictator to rule for at least 20 years after liberation. He says, as long as there is a third party, these dissensions will not end.
Starting point is 00:56:10 They will continue to grow. They'll disappear only when an iron dictator rules over India for 20 years. For a few years at least, after the end of British rule in India, there must be a dictatorship. No other constitution can flourish in this country, and it is so to India's good that she be ruled by a dictator to begin with. He no longer liked just fascism. He was now a national socialist. He liked the Nazi leaders. How do you pick, how do you pick Hitler over Gandhi? That's pretty hard to do. It's pretty hard to do. Now, when you get up in the morning and you have a choice of any t-shirt on the planet you could wear.
Starting point is 00:57:09 And you are Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff. And you have a choice of T-shirts. You could pick a Gandhi T-shirt. You could pick a Lincoln T-shirt. You could pick a Nike T-shirt. You could pick a Colin Kaepernick T-shirt. But you instead pick the T-shirt. shirt depicting the face of the guy who selected Mussolini and Adolf Hitler and worked with them.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I think it's time we bring the chalkboard out because I think there's a whole new class of radicals that you need to be aware of and we need to do it again and we need to do it right. So our democratic friends, not the ones in Washington, but the ones on the street, we'll listen because they are surrounded by people who believe any means possible. That's just your writer of the Green New Deal. We'll continue later. All right, three days left until Valentine's. Seems like everybody is selling bouquets, drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, you name it.
Starting point is 00:58:34 But they all look the same. I went to my daughter. She's in Mary Popper. And I went to her performance this weekend. And I stopped by and I got the bouquets.

How do you put on a t-shirt for somebody who was collaborating with the Nazis? I don't care who you were, you know, well, we were fighting the British. No. You chose. chose Hitler over Gandhi.
Starting point is 01:00:29 How do you spin that? I mean, I'm sure there is some socialist spin that he was a hero. Oh, no, there is. There's some, you know who should get on about this, is, um, just is making the movies now, went to jail, a friend of ours. Dinesh. Dinesh. Deneh D'Souza would know all about this guy.
Starting point is 01:00:55 and there is a movement to make this guy into a hero. But I'm sorry, you picked Hitler over Gandhi. I don't know how you spin that. You could say, well, Winston Churchill was a monster. I'll agree with you. I 100% agree with you in India. And in the end of his life, Winston Churchill kind of said the same thing. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 01:01:20 I didn't really see that one. He was a monster in India. He was. and there's no question about it, but he was fighting for freedom on one side and fighting on the other side. But you had Gandhi to go to. Yeah. Gandhi. And we've talked about the Che Guevara shirts for a long time.
Starting point is 01:01:43 They became a pop culture sort of situation and people would just wear them. And so many people would wear them with no real knowledge, right? That was what we were considering as the problem. People don't know the truth about Che. So they wear these shirts and they're wearing a mass murderer's shirt and they don't even know it. You don't pick a guy like this without having real deep knowledge as to what he did with his life. Where do you get a Chakra Barty t-shirt? I mean, where do you?
Starting point is 01:02:11 He's Chakra-Bati, right? He's not wearing a t-shirt. No, no, no, no. A Chandra Bose t-shirt. By the way, L. Magazine. One of big sources for me when it comes to politics. Yeah, sure, sure, sure. They refer to him not as, what were you calling, Sakeet, what is his name again, Chakrabardi?
Starting point is 01:02:29 Yeah, Saccat Chakabardi. And if I can clear the 15 pop-up ads that come, when you go to L.com, you get, you need to know, Alexandria Casio-Cortez's chief of staff snacks, Sikot Chacrabarty. His nickname is Snacks. I mean, can I just give you a little bit of the background? Because I know you went into some of the background there. Sure, sure, sure, sure. It's beginning to look like newly sworn in Congresswoman
Starting point is 01:02:54 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pandering to me specifically And I am what? Grateful! Thanks to her Green New Deal, I learned so much about taxes From Twitter University this weekend. I'm pretty much a certified CPA now. Oh my gosh. If anyone wants to help me with their 1040 easy. Thanks to her viral dance video, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:03:12 And now I find out that she has a certified snack chief of staff. Scycot Chakra Barthi, a chief of snacks. AOC is looking fondly. at snacks when he is, is, I came the writing on this. It makes my brain hurt. Is literally me looking at the pictures of snack psychot that I spent hours scouring the internet to find. For thirst journalism. Bring the Pulitzer to me directly.
Starting point is 01:03:38 So many things to discuss here. First of all, beard. We need to talk about it. It's lush and it's right. And I feel like a good, I feel like I'm a good socialist if I encourage him to share it. Second of all, that white button down, not to put too fine a point on it, but it's telling me the chief of snacks has something to get off his chest. Oh, I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:03:55 What a wonderful future we have. We can call the sexy, sexy chief of staff of a socialist wearing a t-shirt of a fascist that went to work with Hitler, and we can all celebrate how good-looking he is.

Starting point is 01:05:52 and really good-looking contenders, too, for America that stepped into the race today. Stu is actually working on what he believes will be something that, and I agree, will be extraordinarily useful as you're going forward in 2020 to be able to measure the Democratic nominees and how the race is shaping up. You have over 20 factors that you're looking at, Stu? Yeah, so far 26 different categories that go from everything from polling to fundamentals to support within the party, alignment with the political policy positions of activists sort of voters. There's a lot of different factors that go into it. I think there's 26 so far.
Starting point is 01:06:40 I probably will expand a little bit from there. But I'm still in the middle of building it fully. Are you looking at the center of the country, Democrats, at all? Yeah, we're looking at that as well as the early states. which will be, when you're talking about, this is about whether these candidates can win the primary. Who's kind of like a power rankings for the Democratic candidate. And who's going to be in the lead? And can you, when you get it done, will you be able to look at which one is, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:08 they might be winning the primary, but not necessarily good against Trump because. Yeah, that's one of the most important factors. Right now, I'm not building it as who is going to be the best matchup for Trump from the Democrats per se, although that's a factor in it. One of the things, the reasons I'm considering that sort of polling, which is basically based on general election polling, which still is out,
Starting point is 01:07:29 is already being taken. Yeah. Is that is probably the number one thing Democrats want out of a candidate, which is to beat Trump. But if they came up with a person who believed lots of different things from them, but they believed would actually beat Trump, that person's much more likely to actually win. That's going to be different, though, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:49 with the, you know, with the Keith Ellison's of the world. I mean, they really believe. I read an article this week. Something along the lines of, what was the headline? Can a moderate win against Trump? Can a moderate? Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:08:16 You're always saying that the Republicans are running extremists. when we run people who believe in the Constitution, you're now questioning whether a moderate could win in the Democratic Party. I mean, Howard Schultz is not a moderate Democrat. He's a liberal Democrat, and he can't even fit in the party. No. He's running as an independent potentially because he doesn't think he has any chance, basically, to win as a Democratic candidate.
Starting point is 01:08:44 I mean, think about that. That is a, that's quite a statement. He's a lifelong Democrat. He's a guy who started Starbucks. And he's out. And he's out. He's out of the party. So think about how radical that change has been.
Starting point is 01:08:57 But see, how do they expect to run a radical when 20% of the vote for Donald Trump came from people who voted at least once for Barack Obama? I mean, it's the best path for a win for Donald Trump. If he is going to face someone like a, you know, Elizabeth Warren, someone who's so far, left, that it's impossible for a person in the middle of the country to say, I'm comfortable with that. Anybody who signed for the new Green Deal? Right. And they all have.
Starting point is 01:09:27 As far as I know, I know Corey Booker was bragging about it. You know, Kamala Harris is on it. Elizabeth Warren is on board. As far as I know, I don't know if any of the candidates have rejected it. I don't think there's been one candidate yet that rejected it. Now, that might be the type of job that Joe Biden takes up if he gets a race. And he's the guy who says, all I want is super mega liberal, not socialist. and that may be enough in this context to win.
Starting point is 01:09:53 He's obviously doing very well in the polls, but a lot of that's name recognition, and he hasn't even announced yet. But yeah, I mean, it's interesting to look at that. So I had the very draft versions of this done. I haven't added Klobuchar yet. She just announced this weekend, Minnesota, a Minnesota senator. And she's kind of being touted as the first kind of moderate to get in the race.
Starting point is 01:10:17 she is touted as a moderate. She's from a state that Trump almost won and from a region where Trump pulled off some unexpected victories. So that's one of the things there. She kind of placed herself off as a moderate. I looked up her conservative review score. Now, a lot of Democrats have 0% conservative review scores.
Starting point is 01:10:34 So, I mean, you know, so she's a moderate. She has a 2%. Oh, wow. So a 2% conservative review score pretty sexy, I think, for the moderates out there. But we can go through this if you want really quick. There's so far, I guess, Yes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Nine, I think I have in there. Klobuchar would be ten. There's a couple of other minor candidates that we don't have in yet. But the way it works is it basically score from one to 100. It comes to, and there's a lot of different categories, but they're not all treated equally, right? Like there's certain things that are really important, certain things that are not all that important. Like what's the most important thing? I mean, certainly polling is up there as very important.
Starting point is 01:11:13 The endorsements from the campaign, that hasn't really started. yet, but that will become important. Name recognition, quite important. You know, things like the support from party elite and social reach is pretty important. You know, you look at that, like, you look at someone like a, social reach is an interesting one, right? Like, you have people like, you know, Elizabeth Warren and Corey Booker have huge social followings, where someone like a, Kamala Harris has a much smaller social following. She's getting lots of buzz from the media right now, but she doesn't have,
Starting point is 01:11:47 necessarily have that way to easily and cheaply spread that message. That will grow if she starts to lead in the polls. These things all start to follow each other. And there's policy alignment stuff and all sorts of stuff like that. Is it a serious campaign? Is there baggage? How many gaffs do they have? How do they have a propensity for gaffes?
Starting point is 01:12:07 So there's a lot of different things to look at there. So the score basically comes out from zero to 100. It's basically be impossible to get a zero or a 100. So I'll give you these in reverse order. as they stand right now. Andrew Yang. He's a... I thought he would be higher up on the list.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Shockingly, no. He's got 17.8. Then you've got John Delaney, who's a former congressman, but it hasn't really made no big impact. He's at 18. Pete Buttigieg. Now, Pete is the guy from...
Starting point is 01:12:36 He's the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Yeah, love Buttigieg. Yes, he's at 29. Yeah, on our guy. Tulsi Gabbard is next. She's at a 30 on our scale. She's a congresswoman from Hawaii. then you got Kirsten Gillibrand is at 38 on our scale.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Julian Castro at 41. Oh my gosh. Interesting. There's a couple things that I found interesting as we get here towards the top. Because there's really only three or four big candidates that are in right now. And they are at the top. Elizabeth Warren is next at 41.4. I was shocked to see her, though, I mean, towards the bottom group.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I mean, 41 was Julian Castro. he was the HUD Secretary and Mayor of San Antonio. That's his qualification. Why is her number come down on this? I mean, she just got so many problems. She's just riddled with problems. And that's it, right? And she has real problems fundamentally as candidates.
Starting point is 01:13:27 She does well on things like social scores. She does okay and polling. There's certain things that she does pretty well. But a lot of those candidates, I mean, how does she deal with Donald Trump? We've talked about this before. She is. She'd be a, he'd walk all over her. He is, she is the ideal candidate to run against Trump.
Starting point is 01:13:42 If she, if they can make Elizabeth Warren the candidate, Trump will have the easiest time, I think, with her. Corey Booker actually finished second in this, and he's at 48.5 right now, which is considerably better than I think he's a terrible candidate. I mean, Corey Booker, you'll see him in speeches sometimes, and he can be kind of engaging, but he is a performer. When he gets in those moments, he tends to write things. He's not authentic.
Starting point is 01:14:09 The authenticity level of Cory Booker is low when he gets in big moments. He handles big moments poorly. Wait, Spartacus? Yeah, I am Spartacus. is a great example of it, right? I mean, so inauthentic. So inauthentic. And again, just a, he's also the type of person, you saw it with the green clip that we played earlier, the Green New Deal clip, where he is a type of person that likes to defend those indefensible positions. He likes to jump into those situations. So, you know, when everyone's saying, the Green New Deal,
Starting point is 01:14:36 it's ridiculous. Like, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes out with it. A bunch of people jump on board with it. And then everyone starts to see the details come out and say, oh, my God, this is not a serious proposal. Right now, momentum is going against the Green New Deal because it's patently absurd. Anyone who looks at it knows it's ridiculous. Why? Just because he wanted to abolish air travel, all fossil
Starting point is 01:14:57 fuels, and car travel. And remake, knock down and rebuild, or just retrofit every single home in America and every single structure in America. These are not legitimate ideas. I mean, this is, this is Alexandria Casio-Cortez's silliness.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Some look at things and say, why. Yeah. And that's what his defense was, right? His defense was, oh, that's a moon shot. People said it was impossible. Well, they didn't say it was impossible. They said it was hard. This is impossible. And it's stupid. It's not even a goal you'd want to do. At least the moon, we could at least look up there and say, wow, that's a pretty cool video. I mean, I don't know what you get out of the green deal, except bankrupting people. So he was at 48.5. And then in first place, as it stands now, was Kamala Harris and her rating at 65.1. So as of this moment,
Starting point is 01:15:42 based on my model here, Kamala Harris is considerably ahead of the field. It does not necessarily mean anything at this point. Again, the top tier candidates, you don't have a Beto in yet, you don't have a Biden in yet, you don't have a lot of the people who were kind of talked about in that top tier.
Starting point is 01:16:00 I mean, you saw Michelle Obama's appearance the other night. I mean, people keep talking about her as a potential candidate. We've talked about it before. No way. She's not... No way. I mean, she's not showing any signs of running at this point, but I think if you got to a point where they were desperate,
Starting point is 01:16:15 I think if they got to the point to where everybody was like, that's Elizabeth Warren. She may pop in. She may pop in. And if she pops in, she wins it, right? Like, she is barring something on first scene. She's been through these trials. She's been out and for a long time.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Everybody always says Oprah. Michelle Obama is better than Oprah. Yes. Because God really knows what Oprah. She has no idea what she's talking about on half of these things. Michelle Obama has lived in this. world. She's been through the pressure of D.C. She knows it. She knows it. And you know
Starting point is 01:16:45 her. You've seen her in the White House. Again, as he's thinking of a democratic activist, they see her as the shining example of what we have set on fire with Donald Trump. Right? They had this wonderful thing going. They had recovered from that evil Bush administration. Everything
Starting point is 01:17:01 was going great. And then they set it on fire by electing Donald Trump. And it was Hillary Clinton's fault. You know, she's the one that blew it. She didn't go go far enough. She couldn't do it. they think Michelle Obama can. And if Michelle Obama walked into that primary, it would turn the whole thing upside down. She'd be at the top of this in seconds because, you know, she has that, she has the easiest path to that nomination if she wanted it.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Now, she has not shown serious signs of wanting it, but, you know, there's a part of everybody that wants to be president of the United States. And there's a part of her that was really more activist than him. I mean, she was really the activist, you know, muscle behind Barack Obama in their early years. she loves it. She's not a passive, you know, first lady. Like Melania Trump has literally no interest at all in, you know, higher office by any,
Starting point is 01:17:52 you know, there's no right, even rumors of it. Michelle always wanted it. You know, Barack got it first, but Michelle always wanted it, just like Hillary always wanted it. And so Michelle, I think if she could be convinced this was easy and she could coast to it, which she probably could, unless Biden ran.
Starting point is 01:18:07 And Biden, I think that might be, an issue there. But I think Michelle would, she would have a real legitimate shot of a clean path. She could clear, she'd clear half these candidates out the day she announced. Half of them would drop out the day she announced. That's how much of a
Starting point is 01:18:23 wave that would be in the Democratic Party right now. And Hillary Clinton must hate her. Must hate her. You imagine. That's the only positive thing about her run, because it would just annoy Hillary so much. It's like the, if you watch Game of Thrones, the, the, the young
Starting point is 01:18:39 girl. She has the needle. I can't remember her name. She has the needle. And she prays at night every night for who's on her list to kill. You know that Hillary is just like every night just praying, Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama just must drive her nuts. Not that she wants to kill Michelle Obama.
Starting point is 01:19:03 That's not what I'm saying. Well, we don't live in the Game of Thrones, so I think that was fairly clear. No, I don't think so. No, you watch. You watch. All right. American financing. Finding your dream home only half of the battle when it comes to home ownership.
Starting point is 01:19:16 The other half is figuring out how to finance the purchase. And for many homebuyers, this can come with a lot of stress. You don't have to stress out of it. You have people that are salary-based. They work for you. They're going to try to find the best mortgage for you. They're doing financing on your side. It's American financing.

It was the brother. It's the brother of the mistress, right? that somehow another hacked in to her phone and got the pictures of Bezos, you know, pole of joy or whatever he wants to call it. Pole of joy?
Starting point is 01:20:55 I don't know what he calls it. I don't know what. I don't. Why would you assume he's calling it the pole of joy? He's taking pictures of it. You're taking pictures of it. You're weird enough to name it as well. It's probably true.
Starting point is 01:21:10 Did you see the story? I sent this in, I don't know where it is, but it was a, it was a new take. I think it was CNN or New York Times. It was an op-ed. It was like, you know what this shows is that it's now okay. There's no longer anything wrong with taking pictures of your junk. No, there is. No, I think there is.
Starting point is 01:21:26 I'm going to go with you. Yes, there is. You should never do it. But the point was that since Bezos came out and admitted it, basically we're at a time now where the richest man in the world. Can we just be like, yeah, I'm taking photos of my junk and someone stole him and you might see him. Sorry, that's where we are. That's where our society has evolved to. That's pretty impressive.
Starting point is 01:21:42 And it was a, it's, I mean, you think about, think of the huge celebrities we know, you know, the assistant on the big criminal justice reform bill, what's her face, Kim Kardashian, why do we know her from? It wasn't a series. It was a video. It wasn't well lit and a lot of things were happening on it. I mean, now we're at the point where we don't even care about that stuff anymore. And maybe, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:05 I mean, maybe that's the future. Maybe just wall walk out bottomless. What is all, everyone goes to work bottomless to get to the, all over with. It makes it a lot easier. You know, it's not going to smell good per se. I'm going to, I'm going to go back to, no, I'm not for you. Okay, I'm going to go with you. I like yours, man.
Starting point is 01:22:20 I'm not there. I'm not there. Nor do I ever care to be. Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. So, why isn't anyone really getting involved in
Starting point is 01:22:44 Venezuela? Why are the Democrats not getting involved? well, the New York Times had a headline yesterday that sounded the warning cry, except it's not the warning cry that you would expect, or maybe now we all do. We begin there next. This is the Glenn Beck program. So we are one minute away back into the show. We've gotten rid of all the long commercial breaks in this first half hour of every hour of the podcast,
Starting point is 01:23:16 so we can get right back into things.

The New York Times headline yesterday sounded the warning cry on Venezuela.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Quote, dangerous territory for Democrats as Republicans seize Venezuela moment in Miami, end quote. Oh. Oh, okay. All right. Good. I'm glad the Democrats are finally seeing this human crisis for. what it is.
Starting point is 01:25:30 Politics. Now, here's their fear. Their fear is that President Trump might continue his tough talk of supporting the ouster of the Venezuelan dictator. And what if he succeeds? Well, this would be a, you know, an amazing miracle for Venezuelans, right? I mean, you know, maybe they would be able to eat or have medicine. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:25:57 The New York Times points. out that this may be a new generation of Venezuelans who live in Florida that might start voting for Republicans. Oh my gosh. Quote, Democrats fear it could transform Venezuelan Americans into loyal Republicans, much like Cuban Americans. So essentially, the bigger issue now for the New York Times, remember when Casio-Cortez says there's a difference between.
Starting point is 01:26:28 being correct and being moral. Yeah, this would be one of those places where you could be correct and moral. It's not freedom or basic dignity for people. It's not helping people who have to spend a week just to be able to afford a loaf of bread, but it's how this situation could lose votes for the Democrats in Florida. And that would be really, really bad because you remember what happened with with Cuba. Cuban Americans turned against JFK because of the Bay of Pigs.
Starting point is 01:27:05 They didn't like that. So what happens if this happens now? President Trump recently recognized the opposition leader as the interim leader of Venezuela, thousands of Venezuelans gathered in Miami to voice their support. And that's exactly the kind of thing making Democrats sweat because Florida, if you lose Florida, you lose the presidency. And then there's also this nice reality. A lot of Democrats prefer Maduro because they prefer socialism.
Starting point is 01:27:49 You'll notice that the people who were all up in arms and they were showing us what we had to do, we had to support socialism in Venezuela. it was going to turn that country from a, well, an economic utopia, which it was, to a economic utopia, which it no longer is. If he gets chased out of office, that would confirm yet another massive socialist failure, and that makes Democrats here in America uncomfortable. In fact, several of the white pantsuit brigade in Congress would be, very, very uncomfortable. In fact, they lashed out at Trump for supporting the opposition leader and criticized the idea
Starting point is 01:28:45 of more sanctions against Maduro. How do you do that? 44-year-old woman quoted in the New York Times said she fled Venezuela 12 years ago. She settled in Florida, became a U.S. citizen last year. She said she's leaning Republican, but she didn't like President Trump until he started taking a firm stance on Venezuela. She said, thank God we have this president. At least he's listening to us.
Starting point is 01:29:16 Unfortunately, the previous administration did not. So go ahead, Democrats. Go ahead. Continue down your socialist path of less freedom with your Green New Deal and the freebies galore. Just don't expect any Venezuelans to vote for it. How grotesque. How grotesque that you actually start to view everything
Starting point is 01:29:37 as just how things are going to vote. How people are going to vote. Well, hang on just a second. If we save those people from starvation, that should tell Democrats everything they need to know. They won't stand up for the Venezuelan people, the people that they helped shove into this situation. They won't stand up now that they are starving to death.
Starting point is 01:30:09 And their children are being taken and smuggled. across the border as sex slaves a gigantic humanitarian crisis and you don't see anybody talking about it why because they have to explain what caused the crisis they're still fact-checking Donald Trump's speech where he said only a third he said a third of people who are coming women who are coming across the border have been sexually assaulted when the correct number is 31 percent not 33.3 but 31 percent now of course course there's other studies that have the number much higher, but there is one study that says 31%. He said a third, which is 33.3%. This is partly true, maybe. Maybe we'll give them a partly true on that.
Starting point is 01:30:54 You know, I mean, this is a group of people that paved the road for the Venezuelan people to have to deal with that. Yes. They shielded them from international criticism over and over and over again as this country went down the crapper, thanks to Chavez and, and his, you know, a bus. driving the leader they have down there now. You know, and so the idea that they're not going to push back on this, when we have an opportunity to maybe put somebody in charge who can bring this country back to some sort of rational world, it's scary. At least put it back into the hands of people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:30 At least feed people. Yep. I don't want to get involved in anybody else's country. You make your own decisions. But when this is going on, when, when, when. Maduro is actually blocking the bridges so no medicine and food can get into the people of the city. That's obscene. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:52 I mean, there's a photo going around now of a reporter from Venezuela who's having lunch. It was lunch for four people. It said it cost about 30 bucks. And they showed the amount of currency that they had to spend on it. I mean, it's like, it looks like something out of like a, you know, a mob movie. There's just stacks of cash next week four or five stacks of cash that are probably, seven or eight inches high, just all bundled together to get a $30 lunch in that country.
Starting point is 01:32:19 I mean, it is, they've destroyed the entire nation. And we now have a bunch of people who are embracing the same thing here. Yeah, I mean, there are, yes, they're not as far down the road yet. The Green Do, New Deal, though, is not far from what, what shot is. Are you kidding me? It is that.
Starting point is 01:32:37 It is that. saying we're not going to, we're going to get rid of all cars, 99% of cars, we're going to, we're going to get rid of airplanes, we're going to do all high speed trains. Yeah. Tell me, tell me which, because maybe there's been three, three in America. And every city that I've ever lived in has always said, we're going to put in high speed rail. I'm going to put in high speed rail. We're going to put in high speed rail.
Starting point is 01:33:04 It never works. No, the California one is an utter disaster. They said it was going to cost like a billion dollars. And then later estimates were like $20 billion. They were supposed to, it was supposed to get from L.A. to San Francisco and whatever amount of time it was supposed to be. It was in the law. They can't do it.
Starting point is 01:33:19 Tampa Orlando. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's happened all over the country. And every time it happens, it becomes a giant debacle. So we're going to cancel. We're going to cut all cars in 10 years. Think of that. You're going to have to get rid of your car within the next 10.
Starting point is 01:33:37 years and take high speed rail. Well, how do I get downtown? Well, they're going to have all new electric cars that will be pods that you'll be able to, you know, be able to buy in a taxi kind of a way. Oh, okay. Well, that sounds good except the government would be running it. So I don't think that sounds like a good idea. Government's not going to be able to run either of those programs efficiently. Look at Amtrak. No, and that's the thing you have to remember. All of these. things, including the Green New Deal, are just steps. Thomas Stoll wrote a book called Applied Economics, Thinking Beyond Stage 1. And most people don't.
Starting point is 01:34:16 They think of stage one. But this is what they did with health care, too. The Democrats didn't want Obamacare. He never wanted Obamacare. That's nothing. That's silliness. Obama care was nothing but a means to an end, which is what they're doing now. Back in 2008, we need Obamacare to solve all of our health care problems.
Starting point is 01:34:36 now in 2019 is we need Medicare for all to solve all the problems from Obamacare. Right? Like they are 10 years later saying the system they said would solve everything has failed so badly. We have to go to Medicare for all. Something that was unthinkable. Medicare. And again, Medicare, a system that is completely failing. Nobody likes Medicare who's on Medicare.
Starting point is 01:35:01 Nobody likes Medicare. The polling isn't that bad as far as do people like it or not. Right. Like, you know, it's essentially health care given to you for free. The system hasn't collapsed yet. So what's not to like in some ways, right? I mean, it's not the most efficient system. There's problems with it and people know there are problems with it. But when you look at the fact that it is responsible for almost all of our debt, we are tens of trillions of dollars in debt because of this one program that people are, we are, it's bankrupting the country. And you could say all you want that it's a good thing. But it's not a good thing. the whole thing collapses, which is not that far away. We are completely insolvent because of Medicare, largely, and Social Security secondarily. Remember, it was 10 years from Venezuela being a prosperous country to a failing state. And it was 10 years from there to where they are now. I mean, it happens and it will happen quickly.
Starting point is 01:36:01 We are looking at real radicals. And where are the leaders of tomorrow? may I suggest if you know somebody that is 18 to 24 we need you
Starting point is 01:36:14 to be a strong leader if that is you or someone you know every summer Mercury 1 in collaboration with wall builders we open the doors for emerging young leaders and we have seen

Starting point is 01:40:24 and they brought him in and said, you know, you've got to stop saying these things. These are crazy. And he even voted for the bill himself to, you know, that, I don't know if it was an official censor, but a censure. Yeah, the way they've worded it was not specific about King. It was like, we don't like racism. Right.
Starting point is 01:40:44 And Steve King's like, well, I don't like racism either. So I'll vote for this, even though I know you're basically trying to censure me from my, it was Steve King's comments to the New York Times that kind of caused everything. So where are the Democrats on the anti-Semitic remarks that have just come out this weekend and are kind of starting to be a long string of them from two new congressmen? Many of them just excusing it. I heard Adam Schiff basically doing that on CNN today where he said, look, we have to be very specific of the way we word things. You know, it's very legitimate to criticize Israel or criticize the Israeli lobby in the United States, but we have to be very specific. So no one can take it as if it were anti-Semitic. That was his explanation.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Now, of course, in the same breath, he's saying everything that Donald Trump has ever said is racist, right? Like, you don't have to read into his soul at all. Everything he says automatically, yes, it's 100% racist. with these comments that are much further down these lines that almost anybody I've ever heard in the Republican Party would go down a racial line. This is, you know, she's blatantly saying that basically Jews are buying off Republican politicians because, you know, Jews and money, you know, that thing. And, you know, because it's all about the Benjamin's was her quote. You know, that is something that's way over the line. And even, you know, several groups have come out.
Starting point is 01:42:04 I will say the only Democrat that I saw who was actually legitimately critical of it was oddly Chelsea Clinton, who did come out and kind of publicly call her out on that. And now she saw that as a problem and is trying to repair it. Yeah, she said, oh, Chelsea, I would love to talk with you tomorrow and meet because we have to stop. You're so right. We have to stop all of these charges and counter charges of racism and anti-Semitism. Yeah, that's not what she, you know, no, what she was saying. But still, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
Starting point is 01:42:34 surprised to see this be repaired for a little while. The issue is I think this is too deep with Omar and Talib and the new and Akkazu Cortez at some level as well. It's so deep within them. It's socialism. Socialism is very, and Islamist. If you,
Starting point is 01:42:55 I don't know, but I, I sense a tendency to be towards an Islamist. Islamist, Islamic individual. Well, Talib is the first Palestinian American. And her mother, I believe, lives in the West Bank. She's planning a trip to go out to the West Bank.
Starting point is 01:43:17 You mean West Bank, otherwise known as Judea? No, that's Palestine. I'm talking about the one in Palestine, you know, the West Bank and Palestine. Yeah, that's formerly known as Judea. You keep saying that with a weird emphasis on the first syllable, and I don't understand why. I know. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:43:36 West Bank and Judea. It's weird. It's just Judea. I don't know why you keep saying Judea. Right. You seem to be. Right. Emphasizing that maybe it's not the West Bank.
Starting point is 01:43:47 Maybe people start calling it the West Bank for a reason to erase Judea. Hmm. You know. It's an interesting theory, Glenn, but I don't follow it. Okay. All right. Okay. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Starting point is 01:45:27 Waffle House is doing something special for the weekend. A romantic Valentine's Day date night at Waffle House. I love this. I actually do. 200 Waffles Day. Huffle houses are going to be taking reservations, and they are going to put white table cloths out and welcome couples for special dinner service. So they're going to close. You have to get a reservation.
Starting point is 01:45:57 We'll tweet this out and make sure that you can get to find out the participating location for Waffle House. But I love this. I think that's great. That's real romance right there. No, seriously. It takes the pressure off. and it just Plus you know
Starting point is 01:46:13 you're going to get hash browns with cheese and onions on them Was it scattered smothered and covered I believe is the That's the I believe that's the summary for those
Starting point is 01:46:24 If you want to order them today Right now Don't you feel a sudden urge To go to Waffle House Right now? I do too I do too I like Waffle House
Starting point is 01:46:32 The hash browns are amazing Just don't eat like 12 to 15 portions of them at a time My only problem with Waffle House is that it's a smoking restaurant And so... It's true. I know.
Starting point is 01:46:43 And that's so effective now. Yeah. Like for the, like my wife a lot of times, because I take the kids out for what we call pancake time every weekend for, you know, a little breakfast thing. And a couple of times I've suggested Waffle House. And my wife, every time I say it, like, gives me that look of like, that's a smoking restaurant, you know.
Starting point is 01:46:58 I was like, no, I don't think bad. Yeah. I mean, you choose to smoke, you choose to smoke. But it's because there's so few of them, everybody, it seems smokes. Too few. So few of smoking restaurants. Yes, yes. And so you're, you know, I, I remember when I was probably 20, I went over for a broadcast over in Germany.
Starting point is 01:47:23 And I was in Frankfurt. And they didn't have the air handling systems that you have here in America. And everybody smoked. And I was a smoker at the time. And you just, you like halfway through, you just be like, I think I should get to a hospital, I may have Epiziba. I mean, it's so bad. If you're still in a place where there's a lot
Starting point is 01:47:46 of restaurants that allow smoking, even having the non-smoking sections, because I remember working in a restaurant where they had a smoking section and a non-smoking section, you know, so many of those are gone. If you live in a place, you know, like the Northeast, we lived in the Northeast for many years, people who visit us from there, when you, they walk into a restaurant where they're smoking,
Starting point is 01:48:06 like, they can't even believe it. It's amazing how fast that has happened. And, and Now, even around here in Texas, it's a very small percentage of the restaurants that will allow you to smoke inside. But the ones that do are a little militant about it. And, you know, as they should be, they have a right. There's a bowling alley that is, you know, family friendly, you know, gum bowl. We went and bowl there. And it was like, really, you needed an oxygen mask to bowl.
Starting point is 01:48:34 Yeah. And, you know, because it was, you know, it was for smokers. It's totally fine. It should just say, you know, hey, this is a, this is the one for smokers. Well, you found out, didn't you? I did. There was a sign when you walked in. It was in a, in the form of a giant cloud.
Starting point is 01:48:50 Right. And we didn't complain or anything. We just didn't go back. Yeah. I mean, I don't smoke. I don't like smoking. I don't think the government should be involved in telling you whether you should smoke or not, particularly at restaurants and stuff.
Starting point is 01:49:01 I will notice, though, there is a, remember the John Edwards to America's speech when he was running for president? This is before he got thrown out because he was, you know, not doing some. doing some side things. When... You have a side deal with someone other than his wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who was dying of cancer at the time.
Starting point is 01:49:19 No big deal. Nobody deal. But there's the two Americas thing applies to bowling alleys. There's the old school bowling alley that is like you walk in, it's just giant smoke. The only thing they serve are like plastic cups of beer. Right. The shoes they bought in 1974. Yes.
Starting point is 01:49:32 They smell like someone from 1964. And then there's the new age bowling alley, which is like an entertainment complex. with the massive lighting and like awesome flat screens at the end of the alley. The lanes have projection on it so it looks like you're bowling in the water. It's weird. It's like, it's like what is this? And all the massive like cool scorekeeping and stats.
Starting point is 01:49:53 You order like waitress service. They bring out good food to your table at the bowling alley. See, again, that's capitalism, man. I mean, look, if you're an old school bowler and you like the old school alley, that's cool. I grew up going to one. We used to have birthday parties at it every time. And it's the same thing. That alley, I'm sure, is the exact same as it.
Starting point is 01:50:10 it was when I was nine years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But these new ones, I mean, they, it's, it makes it fun, right? Like, they've got the pop, my kids are five and seven. They have the pop up a bumper bowl things. It's pop, what, you know, when they come up to bowl, it's, they're up. And when you're, when I'm up to bowl, it's, they're not up. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:50:27 At least that's what I'm telling you. Yeah. So, say, it's reversed in my family. Okay. It is an amazing improvement. Yeah. And all this going on, Glenn, while we're killing the earth. Well, you know, we're killing it.
Starting point is 01:50:37 We're destroying the earth. Well, not exactly. There are. a couple of studies that have come out that show that we might want to revise a few things. Yeah, there's one story today saying that scientists have reduced the forecast of sea level
Starting point is 01:50:52 rise seven times. But only seven times. But only the seven. It's not 20 times. No. It's not even 80 times. No. It's only seven times. Right. And this is what happens. There's two things that these studies tend to do. One is they will occasionally revives. their estimates and realize, you know what, things just aren't as bad as we thought they were going to be, but that's just because of X, Y, and Z. This happened famously with James Hansen,
Starting point is 01:51:19 who testified in front of Congress, this NASA scientist, the guy, the guy, Al Gore's guy, when it comes to global warming. And he projected all these temperature level rises and with different scenarios as to how bad our evil of capitalism would go. Like if you had really high emissions and maybe if we cut them. And the temperature, the actual temperatures followed a line that was less dangerous than the lowest of his estimates. And the carbon emissions that actually occurred were higher than his highest estimates. That's how wrong they were. That's one of the ways that we hate.
Starting point is 01:51:54 Later on, they say, well, we didn't know what we were doing back then. But now we do. Now we do. And that's what you have to believe. Scientists are always wrong until they are always right until they tell you they were previously wrong. But when they tell you that they were previously wrong, that's them telling you they're currently right. It's the greatest place in the world to live because you can never be wrong. Love that.
Starting point is 01:52:14 They're the only people who can say they're wrong. And when they say they're wrong, that means they're currently right. That's the way to live. And if you notice that it's always that they are wrong about global warming when they say we're all going to die and they have to keep revising it down. And then on things like the economy and money printing and inflation, they say there is none until they have to keep revising. Oh, yeah, this is worse. You know what I mean? Yes, of course.
Starting point is 01:52:42 It's always, it's always, it's always, it always makes it easier for the big government to grow. I'm currently reading a book called Factfulness. Did you read this? I think I did, yeah. I think you might have read it. I think I may have been recommended by you. But at the beginning of it, they go through, it's a professor, and he's talking about how much the world has changed and improved. And he'd go through a list of 10 questions.
Starting point is 01:53:03 And the questions are stuff like, has the global, global, incredible, incredible, immense poverty, has it increased by double, has it stayed about the same, or has it decreased by half? And it's a multiple choice. And they ask, you know, educated college students and sometimes really important people, and they constantly get it wrong. They all think it's doubled.
Starting point is 01:53:23 Or at the very best, it stayed about the same. When in reality, none of the answers are right. It hasn't been decreased by 50%. It's much more than that. It's actually, we've improved that much. And it goes through all questions like that, where the correct answer is, something that's kind of positive for the world and everyone gets it wrong.
Starting point is 01:53:43 The only question where people generally speaking get it right is he asks, do scientists generally believe the earth is warming? And almost everybody gets that one right. Now, why? Of all these things that we're talking about, we're talking about poverty and hunger being decreased by 70, 80, 90 percent. Why on earth would that be less important and less covered? And that message has not been pushed out there as much as the earth is generally warming.
Starting point is 01:54:11 Media. It's media, right? It's the focus of the people that get us our information, the guards at the gate. And that is what the problem is. You know, we have this situation with, you know, what's going on in these poor people in Russia. The polar bears? The polar bears. Now, these people live in the very remote area of Russia and they're being terrorized by polar bears.
Starting point is 01:54:35 to the point of they can't even send their kids to school. Now, we've been told, of course, that there aren't any polar bears left. There's like nine left on Earth because all of them are being killed by global warming. Right? Which is not true. They have...
Starting point is 01:54:48 500% increase. 500% increase. Yes. I believe there's 5,000 in the 70s, and the last numbers that I saw, which was probably late 2000s, was about 25,000, so about 400%. And they are...
Starting point is 01:55:04 vicious, vicious animals. Yeah, there's a reason. They don't open Coke bottles and cuddle each other. That's not what happens. That's not real. But, you know, this is what happened when the United States got outraged. When people were going and going to hunt lions in Ethiopia. I saw this this weekend.
Starting point is 01:55:25 Ricky Jarvis came out with... Your Jervais. Yeah, Jervais. He came out with these pictures of these people that went on these game hunts. Why do people hunt lions? Because the people in the villages want them dead. Yes. Here, everyone's outraged because we killed them.
Starting point is 01:55:44 There, they're celebrating that we came and killed them. They get terrorized by lions. The same thing's happening with the polar bears. Now, of course, what's the thing? They were supposed to be extinct because of global warming. That's what we were supposed. There was none left because of global warming. Now, why are they attacking?
Starting point is 01:56:02 Global warming. because you see it's warmer so they have to spend more time on land which means that's why they're all around people all the time now. So them going extinct was global warming even though they didn't go extinct and now that there's so many of them and they're around humans it's also global warming.
Starting point is 01:56:17 Again, what a great place to live. Every single thing that occurs you can say it's global warming and no one can disagree with you. I think I'm going to surrender. I'm just going to be liberal progressive. It's a lot easy. It's so easy to do it. You're famous.
Starting point is 01:56:32 You're rich. You're accepted. You're hanging out with the cool people. And you never have to think things through. You never actually have to be right. I love that. In the meantime, we will do the right thing and be a giant pain in the ass. And if you are in constant pain, it's either because you're a conservative and you're trying just to make sense of the world or you are one of the 50 million people that miss work due to pain. These Americans spend about $2,000 a year. There's 66% don't think that they're ever going to feel better. I mean, it's- That's a terrible statistic. Horrible. Two-thirds of people think they just basically have given up. And that's where you were, what, a year and a half ago? Yeah, a year ago.
Starting point is 01:57:15 A year ago. I mean, and it's bad when you feel that way, I believe me, I understand. That's why a year ago I started taking Relief Factor. I would not tell you to try this if it didn't work for me. I take it three times a day, relief factor. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. you take it and I'm telling you my pain tremendously reduced I can actually live my life where a year ago I was at the end of my rope if that sounds like you this is 100% drug free created by
Starting point is 01:57:48 doctors they want you to do a three week quick start because they know if it doesn't work within three weeks for you it's not going to work for you so try it for three weeks it cost you 20 bucks if it doesn't work you're out 20 bucks if it works you get your life back and And 70% of the people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more month after month. So go to relieffactor.com now, 800, 58384 or relieffactor.com. 800, 5384 or relief factor.com. This is a Glenn Beck program. I don't think people really understand how close we are to this socialist utopia being jammed down everybody's throats.
Starting point is 01:58:35 we are just you know we are just a breath away or to put it more frankly a 2008 event away from us having socialism and a green new deal and this is the problem
Starting point is 01:58:54 with the binary choice thing because they just don't like Trump so whatever Trump is for they are against they used to be against late term in last second abortion now they're not right like they used to be against free trade and now they're not because Trump's Trump has taken tariff positions that they used to love and now hate the problem is if if it comes down to a situation where we
Starting point is 01:59:16 have an economic collapse and it's a one-on-one situation they don't like Trump if Trump's the one arguing for capitalism they're going to go the other way and they also are going to go the other way because they'll promise jobs hey if we have to uh oh we have to build high speed rail and we have to do all this they're going to they're going to just say this is the work projects this is we built dams like this this is how every Socialist Utopia begins, right? It's the idea of we can, we understand you don't necessarily feel comfortable with these sorts of things. But we need them right now.
Starting point is 01:59:44 It's common sense to do them right now. The economy's going down and we're in big trouble and we need us. Well, you know, one thing I can't get past is, uh, is how, how blind people are on the left. May I play now I know this is really going to, you know, great lengths here, but may I play Cardi B from last week when she was when she was talking about where is the tax dollars go
Starting point is 02:00:12 and you know they're taking this money from celebrities? Listen So you know the government is taking 40% of my taxes and Uncle Sam I want to know what you're doing with my tax money because you know what I'm saying like when you donate
Starting point is 02:00:28 like when you donate to a kid from a foreign country they give you updates of what they do with your name I want to know what to do with my tax money because I'm from New York and the streets is always dirty We was voted the dirtiest city in America What is y'all doing this?
Starting point is 02:00:44 There's still rats on the damn trains I know you're not spending it in no damn prison Because y'all be giving two underwears One jumps to For like five months So what is doing with my money? What is y'all doing with my fucking money? I want to know
Starting point is 02:01:00 I want receipts, I want everything I want to know what's doing with my fucking money. money. Okay, all right. She is classy. Is that true? You only get two underwear's in prison. Is that true? And one jumpsuit every six months. One jumpsuit. Yeah. Could we play the other clip where she says, her poor lifestyle? You know what I hate? I hate when celebrities do something very extravagant by something very luxurious. There's people in the comments like, you could have donated that or we're going backwards. You could have done this and that with your money. And it's like,
Starting point is 02:01:32 who are you to tell people what to do with their hard work and money. First of all, do you know that artists, celebrities, the IRS, out of every check that you make, they automatically take 45% of the check. Are you serious, Cardi? Yeah, no, it's, stop it. It's honestly, it's only happening to celebrities and artists. Only celebrities and artists. They have to pay
Starting point is 02:01:55 these things called taxes. Clueless. Absolutely clueless. It's less entertaining from a lot of people, but that's a mainstream viewpoint, would have no idea that people like Cardi B are paying 45% of the taxes. She just happens to be thrust into this world because of her success. Most people who
Starting point is 02:02:13 listen to her music don't believe that's even happening with rich people.
