The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program | Guest: Jeffy Fisher | 11/27/19

Episode Date: November 27, 2019

Two new 2020 polls are out, and Democrats DON’T like Elizabeth Warren’s massive health care plan! Biden’s still on top, Buttigieg’s rising, and Bloomberg may buy his way to the debate stage. Reports say Obama told candidates that Biden “doesn’t have it.” Meanwhile, Trump told Bill O’Reilly that he NEVER sent Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine. Pat and Stu discuss who would make it onto the “Mount Rushmore of Worst Presidents.” And the Cameo app will allow Jeffy to get paid to break bad news to people, for a small fee.

Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu, and unfortunately, Jeff Fisher is joining us as well. That's unfortunate. I'm just hanging out. Good to see you. Nice to be here. Oh, yeah. I'm just seeing, unfortunately, it wasn't here for the entire show. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Oh, well. Okay, okay then. Oh, well, we'll try to deal with it. Yeah. We went through a lot of the election stuff. We're getting set into kind of the final stretch here, as we're only, you know, I mean, we've got up until Christmas, and then we're only a few weeks away from the new year when we start voting. After the holidays, it'll be literally, what, three to four weeks before Iowa.

Early February. So that's just coming up right around the corner. We get into that. Which is later than it used to be because they moved it back a little bit. Okay, yeah. We got an alternative take on Bloomberg. Is there a positive case to be made for Brubon? Bloomberg?

No. We attempted. I don't know that it's perfectly successful, but if there's an interesting idea there,

we also go into a potential UFO. Was there a UFO siding? I don't know. It feels like there was. It feels like there was,

Jeffie says. And also we have Jeffie's new business. Yes, thank you. Yeah, Jeffey's opening up a new business. Very exciting. We have to look up for that.

I'm excited about it. If you need bad news told to someone and then you don't want to do it yourself. here for you. Jeffie is here, bad news breakers for you right now. We have all that and more on a very, it's a fun day. It's the last day before Thanksgiving. We come back on Monday. So here's the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is going to be, I guess, the storyline to the end of the year.

The Democrats want to get this impeachment thing over by the end of the year. They want the vote by the end of the year. It's strange because they're going to the, the, uh, judiciary committee now. with Jerry Nadler. Yep. If you have an ironclad case, like we heard last week from Schiff, why are you pushing this now to the judiciary vote? Well, they have to do the articles of impeachment. Yes.

So my understanding of the process. The judiciary writes those up? Is that what it is? It's the judiciary that's going to come up with those. And they go through a series of hearings that are less about like the evidence of the case and more about the process of how impeachment needs to work and what they're going to go after and how they're going to create the articles of impeachment.

You know what the problem is. This just all takes too long. If we were more like China, we just do this. Just get him out. Just throw them out. That's what you do. Really? Yeah.

Uh-huh. This whole constitutional thing slows things down. It does. It ponder things. Make you think about it. It doesn't allow you to just do things on impulse. Yeah. Which is what we need.

I mean, we need impeachment to be like the Hershey's bar and the checkout line at the grocery store. You're going to, through and you see some gum and you see Hershey's and like erases, you just pick them up. They're in your mouth. You don't think about it. Is it a good choice? Do I need this candy? No. You don't think about that. Don't worry about that. Yeah. You're 30 seconds later. You're just eating candy.

Yeah. And then you're feeling terrible about yourself after. And that's the way this all ends. We all just feel terrible about ourselves. It's interesting to see this because I don't, there's an interesting case to be made for Democrats to say, why are we going to cut this short? right like let's just keep calling witnesses let's draw it out let's draw it out let's call all the people in the in the in the in the west wing people like mulvaney and formerly bolton that say that they would testify if courts demand they testify let's put it through the court system let's wait the several months until it all it all shakes out let's just keep it going because what

what it looks like to me now, and I think to a lot of people who are maybe in the middle and looking at this, not really understanding the process and not really knowing where this is going, it looks like the Democrats are just rushing through this, which by the way, they are. They are. It's not supposed to look that way. When you're doing that, it's supposed to look like you're doing this fair thing and it's, we just want to get to the facts. How can you even argue that when you've spent two weeks on it? This whole call just came to light like four weeks ago.

And in four weeks, we're already at the point basically where there's a vote on impeachment. It's insanity. And I think they're doing that because if it goes to the Senate, then you could get the senators who are running for president embroiled in that. Oh, yeah. And keep them off the campaign trail. And they don't want that. But again, who are you talking about? You're talking about Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris.

Right? Like, you know, there's a good argument to be made that a lot of people in the Democratic Party, the leadership, probably don't. want any one of those three as the actual candidate. I mean, they might want a Biden. They might want a Buttigieg. They, I mean, they don't, they definitely don't like Sanders. They don't care about Sanders. I mean, I don't know.

I am a little concerned about Michael Bennett and what's going to happen to him if he can't campaign. Because right now, he is rocketing to zero percent. And will he get beyond that? I don't know. So hard to get beyond that. Cory Booker is another one, by the way. Booker, I love that. Mr. Spartacus is.

struggling at still, according to Quintipiac, 2%. 2%. He's tied with Yang. Now, Yang gang. In the national Quintipiac poll, this is amazing to me. Biden is at number one again. 24%, so he's up three percentage points. Then it's Buttigieg, up 6 to 16%. He's number two now nationally.

Amazing. That's crazy. He's the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. And again, no offense to South Bend, Indiana. But the mayor of Miramar, Florida, just dropped out of the race. Wayne Messam-Metam, Messum. And it's bigger than South Bend. For whatever reason, the Democrats, I assume, because I've learned from Democrats,

it must be skin color. Wayne Messum's black. So I assume that's why they don't like him, but they like Buttigieg. But it is bizarre that this guy who is, you know, a mayor of a, you know, small to mid-sized city is the number two guy, beating out everybody except Joe Biden. Somebody, nobody had ever heard of until a few months ago. He does strike you, though, just from the sort of eye test as one of the more competent people.

You could tell he's smart. He doesn't get flustered by a lot of stuff. Yeah, he's well-spoken. He's controlled. And he has no record, which is a nice benefit for the left. They don't have a lot of stuff to pick him apart on. They're like, well, he once fired a police chief that was unpopular in his community. It's like, all right, that's your.

there's not a lot of negative on the guy, right? And you could see this with the other candidates. They struggle to find things to say that are bad about him because he hasn't done anything. He's like 12 years old. Yeah. It's like, wow, he skipped a birthday party last year. And it was at a trampoline park.

They had to pay the fee. And he promised the friend he'd be there. Yeah, he promised. And then no present afterwards. You know, and when he did finally give him a present after he was called out on it, it was the same present he got from another kid at his birthday party. blatant re-gift. Like, that's about, I don't know.

I don't know what he's, you know, he hasn't really done anything. And yet there he is at number two. It's crazy. Number two. And Warren has slipped to third. She's going away. She dropped 14% over the last couple of weeks.

It does that give you a little bit of hope? It does. Yeah, it does. And especially since Sanders is behind her at 13. So it does give me hope that maybe, you know, we're not quite there to, to the socialism yet. The American people don't want socialism.

I hope that's still the case. And it seems like it is because Biden's not a socialist. And I don't think Buttigieg is either. Then you go to the bottom tier and you see the Bloomberg's already at 3% tied with Harris and Klobuchar. But he's spending a ton of money to get to that 3%. So you think he'll ever have his moment where he rockets into the teens? We have to take a 60 second break here, but I want to come back on the other side. I have been very dismissive of the Bloomberg thing.

I have too. And I think with good reason. There's a lot of good reasons why to be dismissive of Michael Bloomberg. However, I was listening yesterday to Jim Garrity, who's a very, very smart guy who sees this stuff. He's with National Review. And he made a case in the affirmative for Bloomberg that I thought was pretty compelling. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

It might be just as simple, though, as, you know, Joe Biden just pretty much number one lead candidate start to finish. That is what it is so far. It's so far. I mean, he had moments where Warren passed him a little bit. for a while in some polls, not even in every poll.

Nope. Yeah, it was never more than half the polls that she passed. It was really kind of a statistical dead heat for about two weeks. And now people have gotten to know her and I don't think they like her. They don't. And I don't think they like her policies. And they understand that, come on, we can't spend $52 trillion on your stuff. We can't do it.

And I think they understand that that estimate is probably way low. And it can't be done. It just can't happen. Just Medicare for all will cost us. more than $50 trillion over 10 years. This is, everyone's like, well, they estimated it at $32 trillion. It's not going to be $32 trillion.

It never is. We've explained why on several occasions, you can go back and listen to those shows in depth if you want. But, I mean, the point here is that we all know these things blow up above their budget. There's a lot of really obvious fundamental reasons why, including

in this case, you know, like when you do, when Medicaid or Medicare pays hospitals, pays doctors, they pay a lower rate than for private insurance. And one of the things that Warren assumes in her plan is that she will just pay everybody at that rate. We already pay a rate for Medicare. We'll just continue to pay that rate and just spread it out over the entire health system. Well, the reason why they're able to pay or accept Medicare and Medicaid payments that are lower, the reason why doctors do that is because they charge private insurance more, right? So they even it out. They basically say, okay, well, this one's coming from the government.

We'll accept less and we'll accept more from over here. And that'll give us a nice midpoint number. Well, when you take everyone down to that lower payment number, it's going to shake the health system apart. And that's the type of thing that will not, in reality, actually happen. They're not going to, they're going to have to raise the payments so these places can stay in business. So the hospitals don't start closing down. They're not going to allow that to happen. So they'll just print more money and spend more money. And instead of $32 trillion, and instead of $59 trillion in total cost for all these plans, it'll be $79 trillion. Yeah.

You know what? There's a reason doctors make a lot of money. And the reason is they were in school for 24 years. And then they did a residency and they didn't make any money doing it. And they come out with massive debt. They have to work long hours. And I know it sounds like a sob story. It is somebody who's making $50,000 when they're making $900.

or a million dollars a year. But really, they deserve it. They've done a lot of schooling. They've got a skill that not many people have. They were willing to sacrifice the first section of their lives to do this. And it's hard. And you're on call all the time. And you've got crappy hours.

I mean, it's not easy. Especially if you're a surgeon and you're on call. And I've got a really good friend who's on call all the time. Like five times a month. They could call him at any time of the day or night, and he's picking through somebody's brain in 15 minutes. You know, it's hard. And so they're not going to want to take a massive pay cut

because we have a universal health care system now. They're not going to want to do that. You're going to lose a lot of doctors, a lot of good doctors. Especially if you're, you know, 58, you're like, I'm a few years away from retirement. I've already made a lot of money. Yeah. Screw this.

Right. You know, you're gone. Yep. And now look, a lot of, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, you can't just summarize it that way. So many doctors do this because they love it and because they want to help people. But in addition to that, they do want to keep their doors open and pay their people.

Yes. It's not just about like becoming a millionaire. And there's nothing wrong with wanting them to pay themselves either. There's nothing wrong with that. No problem with it. But even people who don't mind sacrificing their own stuff, well, it's not that simple. Yeah. You know, we've seen what the disaster, the

paperwork can be with these things. I mean, when's the last time a government program came along that was incredibly efficient that you're just like, wow, you're mesmerized by the way they're able to handle this. I mean, this is, you know, they launched these, these electronic records for doctors, and now they all have to do that. They hate it. They hate it. It's a terrible system. It eats up half their time with their patients. Like, this is not something, these things don't work when the government tries to do them. And they're going to try to give this one size fits all thing for our

entire healthcare system. And we're all going to be freaking driving to somewhere else to get our health care. If this goes through, if it really happens, we're going to long for the days of the crappy healthcare system that we have now that's behind Cuba and Botswana in the eyes of so many. You're going to see how great the American health care system is if we ever go to universal health care. You'll rule the day. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn.

Bill O'Reilly.com had a pretty interesting interview with somebody called, was it Donald Trump? Donald Trump? Yeah, I guess. selected president of the United States after he manipulated the Russian choice.

Right. Thank you. Sorry, we're doing our MSNBC impression here. So Trump was on with O'Reilly on bill O'Reilly.com. And tell me if people are reading into this too much. Is he basically throwing Rudy under the bus here, Giuliani? Because I mean, I do kind of feel like, end of the day, there's a good chance. this is where this ends.

The one, like, we have lots of people on record saying that this was an edict, right? That there was a quid pro quo for varying circumstances and varying ways they learned about this. And we can go over all that and we have. But everybody basically seems to say they got word of this from Rudy Giuliani. Yeah. Not from Trump, but from Rudy Giuliani. Yes. And here's Trump kind of putting a little, it seems to be a little bit of a dividing wall between himself and Giuliani.

This is Trump with Bill O'Reilly yesterday. What was Rudy Giuliani doing in Ukraine on your behalf? Well, you have to ask that to Rudy, but Rudy, I don't even know. I know he was going to go to Ukraine, and I think he canceled a trip. Rudy Giuliani, he's your personal lawyer. Giuliani's your personal lawyer. So you didn't direct him to go to Ukraine to do anything or put any heat on him? No, I didn't direct him, but he is a warrior.

Rudy's a warrior. Rudy went, he possibly saw some, but you have to understand, Rudy has other people that he represents. Oh, my. I mean, oh, my. He just said he had nothing to do with Rudy Giuliani going to Ukraine. So that's a, I mean, it's a pretty strong separation. Well, now, remember, in the past, Giuliani has said he was there at the direction of Trump, which I don't remember Trump disagreeing with, but I don't remember him ever confirming it either. So is this going to be kind of the defense?

Like, look, and as we've said a million times, I don't think this is impeachable. It's not my view that this is an impeachable situation. That being said, the administration's job here, right, is to politically to protect the president at all costs. Now that you could say, a lot of people would say, well, that's not the right thing to do. But, I mean, that's what the political job to do is.

I mean, do you believe that he didn't direct Rudy Giuliani to go to Ukraine? and hard to believe. It's impossible to believe. Again, I'm going under the... Of course he sent Rudy to Ukraine. I'm going under the assumption here. Mm-hmm. I view this entire thing as Donald Trump did want a quid pro quo with this money.

There's a report in the New York Times today that they're saying that Trump, they did, when they released the funds to Ukraine, it was after they had learned about the whistleblower report. Yes. So... Yes. They've been saying that for a while. well, this was, I guess, an additional confirmation then because it broke today in the Times. And look, I don't, people keep saying, well, I don't agree with that. And that didn't happen.

I don't care if it happened. Like, to me, there is a question as to whether it was for the good of the country or it was just his own political benefit. If it was his own political benefit, then he should be impeached. I don't think that's what it was, though. I think there was more to it than that. I think it was for both. And I don't know why they won't say that. I don't know why they want.

Frankly, I think it was for both. I think he liked the idea that it was by. You can do a quid pro quo all day long if it's in the good of the country. Right. Anytime you want, we don't have to give them any aid, let alone $400 million. Exactly. So we all, and that's why I'm operating, I don't care about this back and forth because I don't see it as one of these things that is a problem if it's done for the good of the country.

We all know that it happens all the time. Yes. So when you look at this, though, I mean, Biden did it. You may not have, admitted to it. Exactly. You may not have legalistic. proof that Donald Trump is on paper or on a recording saying, Rudy, you got to do this. We're going to hold back the aid.

But I think if you look at the breadth of evidence, it's likely that this did occur or at least the impression was strongly given because everyone, even people who opposed the quid pro quo, for some reason, was still doing it. Like, you know, Sondland is like opposed to it. He's still going to Ukraine and telling them, yeah, it's a quid pro quo. Well, why would he do that? if he doesn't I mean he believes that that's the directive whether it is or not right but I don't care if it's the directive if it's for the good of the country and I think like

that's the line they need to go to here though you can see a defense developing of look Rudy's just a renegade he's out there doing all sorts of crazy crap I have no idea what it is that it's not it's not the day the thing you want to hear if you're Rudy Giuliani I'll say that it's not it's not your favorite moment of this entire escapade it's not the thing I wanted to here as Pat Gray. No, no. I don't get it. I don't think that can, you know, that's not going to hold up.

That just can't hold up. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Americans. It's just so stingy. So pathetic. Like this, you know, this billionaire Jeff Bezos. 100 million dollars. What's he ever done?

I don't know. I don't know. Seriously. I mean, he shouldn't have the money he does. Shouldn't have it. Well, a billionaire shouldn't exist. They shouldn't exist. They're evil.

You know what? You get a lot of good outcomes when a government comes together and says a certain group of people shouldn't exist. Always ends well. Always. In every case, right? In every case. Can you think of any case where that hasn't? You're really tested me here.

I mean, I'm sure there may be one. But I mean, usually when a government comes together and say, you know what, this group of people should not, we should wipe them off the planet. Yeah. That usually ends well. It does. It does. And I think it will with billionaires too. Oh, I think so. When you start dragging him out of their offices and beating him to death in the street,

won't that be great? Oh, we'll all be there cheering. And all billionaires. So Bezos gave $100 million to charity, and that's selfish, I guess, because he has more money than that. And by the way, he's donated more money than that to charity. It just happens to be this particular donation to homelessness was $100 million. The response from people. is so incredible.

Like this guy, a whopping 0.09% of his net worth. Thanks so much, Jeff. Unbelievable. How much did you give? How generous of him to donate less than what he makes in an hour? Which I don't, I don't know that he makes a... That would be a really good hour. That's a good hour.

Billionaires are evil. He could end homelessness if he wanted to. No, he couldn't. No, he couldn't. Homelessness involves a lot of mental illness. And, you know, you can't buy people out of their mental illness? No. What if you spend a lot, though?

You still can't. Really? Yeah. Yeah. You could spend $100 trillion. There'd still be homeless people. Really? $200 trillion.

I don't know where you get that from. There's certainly never been any historic books that have discussed the fact that there will always be poor people. Something called the Biblay. I think it's related to Michael. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a Biblay out there that says there will always be the poor among us. Huh.

Yeah. Also, we've kind of found that out our own selves with President Johnson's great society and $23 trillion spent in the war on poverty. And still, is there homelessness? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly the same amount there was percentage-wise in 1965. It is.

An embarrassing failure. It is. And we should point this out. And it's not said enough. When you come down and you're making the Mount Rushmore of the worst presidents in U.S. history, Lyndon Johnson needs to be carved into the mountain. He's one of the four for sure. He never gets the credibility he deserves as one of the crappiest presidents.

I'm doing it right now. He's the first one we're carving right now. You also got to carve a sculpture of FDR. Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama. There's your four, I think. You think? I think so.

FDR, would you put FD? I mean, FDR, I mean, because you have the war stuff. Yeah, all the government programs that kept us in the Great Depression for 12 years rather than pulling out in a year or two like everybody else did. I'm not arguing he's a good president, but I mean, I'm saying, is he on the four? Because I think you got to have Lyndon Johnson under. Here's a guy who's put all the debt problems on Lidt. What would you put instead of FDR? Because obviously Woodrow Wilson, do you also argue with Barack?

Obama. Got to have Woodrow Wilson on there. Obama, yeah, I mean, it feels like you need a contemporary. You know, I mean, he I guess, I guess I put him, I'm trying to think, I mean, what about Andrew Jackson? Andrew Jackson, maybe? Probably because of his lies and talked about.

Treatment of the Native Americans, trail of tears, all of that. Yeah, there's some, I mean, a good case could be made for Andrew Jackson. I mean, Taft couldn't even fit in a bathtub. Do you put him on there? Because he was a fat tub of goo? Yeah.

He was overweight. And so I think that could be could be something. I don't know. If you put Taft up there, you'd need another mountain. Like you'd have to have double the mountain space. It'd be like putting Jeffie up there.

No. You couldn't do that. You can't do that. Oh, we have a look back at the life of William Howard Taft. All right. Just roll it, I guess. The Glenn Beck Program presents retrospective.

On today's episode, William Howard Taft, born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1857, grew up to become America's 27th president. He died in 1930. He was overweight. This has been retrospective on the Glenn Beck program. So that was the one notable thing about it. It really is. He was overweight. It's really the only thing I mean.

whatever he says about tap it is i have no idea what his policies were uh i'm sure they were you know wonderful for the time sure but i do know he was overweight yeah we do know that i mean if you're redoing the actual of mount rushmore i mean i think we're both putting coolidge up for sure yeah which is definitely going up absolutely i mean regan's going up coolidge regan for me i got to have george washington up got to have washington and maybe Jefferson. I love Thomas Jefferson. But Coolidge

Reg, oh Lincoln, you gotta have Lincoln there. Yeah, you can't. That's hard. We've got a lot of good presidents, actually. Yeah, we have. The really terrible ones, we've had a decent amount of. I mean, because, like, if you want to talk about, like, most ineffective presidents, right? Like, you could put Jimmy Carter on that list easily. Yeah, yeah. But, like, you don't think of him as, like, a real upending our entire system.

Because you didn't. He was just really bad at his job. Yeah. Everything he did sucked. Yeah. But it wasn't like Wilson who, I mean, you know, the Wilson policies we'd look back at now and be like, wow, those are really conservative. But he changed the whole fabric of the country. Yeah.

Right? A lot of, that was one of those things where, you know, he took a country that was going down one path and jammed the whole country in reverse and went down another path. Where, like, someone like Johnson just accelerated us down that path so far. And people, because, you know, look, it came after the Kennedy thing. There was a feeling of, you kind of just overlooked everything at that point, I think. And the fact that, you know, Johnson is responsible for, you know, a massive amount of our problems in this country when it comes to debt. Massive. It's overlooked.

And not to mention, the guy was an incredible racist and a jerk to almost everybody around him. And people say, well, he signed the bill. He signed the civil rights bill. Yeah, after opposing it for 20 years. Yeah, he did finally because he knew he had to by then. He had to. He was awful. And the stuff he said to the people around him, including constantly to African-Americans.

I mean, the guy is a good guy. Absolute racist. Yeah. You have to put him in the conversation there for worst president of all time. He also enmeshed us much more deeply in Vietnam, which was a massive, to me, mistake. you know, it'd be nice if we could learn from some of those mistakes now and stop getting involved at everybody else's problems. That's a good idea.

Yeah. It's a good idea. That is, it's fascinating to you that, like, you know, the Republicans are the war mongers. Well, this is Nixon that got us out of there, right? Yeah. Right. It is, it is the guy is doing diplomacy with China. Like, you know, it is a weird, the way this stuff, you know, the narratives change in such

strange ways with this stuff where Republicans who fought for the only people who cared about civil rights for a hundred years. The whole time. The whole time. And, you know, Democrats are the ones, I mean, we go back with this. I mean, you know, Desoosa said this in his book.

And I have no reason to, I have not found evidence to the contrary that every single member of the KKK was a Democrat. All of them. that's what it was a democrat organization it was kind of the militant wing of the Democrat party in fact

when you know in the in the early days of the clan does he claim that there was never I mean I don't know if he says it about like I mean because there's probably like 19 clan members today I don't know what they are like what is David Duke I mean David Duke is run as of both a Democrat and a Republican right I think he has over the years yeah you know certainly it's possible now

But I believe that was his statement. I remember him saying it on the air. I was like, really, is that true? And he went back and had a decent amount of backing on it. I haven't gone through every member list myself. But that's an incredible thing. Fact, if that's absolutely true. That's amazing.

Wow. And we know all this and somehow it gets twisted. Yeah. Into Republicans are the racist. Yeah. They're the ones that hate minorities. No. Yeah.

And it's interesting to see this has been one thing. that has been fascinating about the Trump presidency and more recent parts specifically since like the Kanye West thing has gone on. There's a poll that came out from Rasmussen who, you know, look, it gives, has a lot of favorable polls for the president but says that something like 34% of African Americans

are now supporting Donald Trump. Now, if that number were to be true, we could just, we could just cancel the election because Trump will definitely win if that number's true. Now, I don't, I will say I don't believe the numbers that high, but I do believe it's increased. And, you know, this, there is an effect.

We all know. There's a reason why companies pay billions of dollars every year to hire celebrities to talk about their products. Because it moves people. It makes people consider things they might not have considered before, right? If you see a new, like, you know, this happens all the time with, you look at Us Weekly. I don't even know who exists anymore, but that magazine Us Weekly, and certainly a million different TMZ type. websites. They put the pictures of like, here's random celebrity walking down the street. You're like, why would anyone care what this person looks like walking down the street as they're shopping?

Well, I mean, I watched my wife read those stories and look at those pictures and she looks at every little detail. What bag are they carrying? What shoes are they wearing? What sunglasses do they have on? And a lot of the times that stuff's just planted, right? Like they're coming out of a specific store. there's some deal that they have going on. Celebrities do move people and purchases are not the only category for that. And so when you have a guy like Kanye West who's making the arguments that are completely true, I don't, like I have no, you know, I'm not a Kanye West guy. You know, he's that, I'm not a target demo.

But he is saying things that conservatives and, you know, dozens or hundreds, of conservative black individuals have called us over the years to say these things. I'm sick of just being told this is how I vote because of the color of my skin. I am an individual here. And Kanye just bringing that argument to the table and convincing people who are as racist. As racist. And at least opening the minds of people who don't follow politics every day.

You know, there's a lot of people who are African American and it's like, I believe the Democrats have the right vision for me for whatever. reason, even though I don't agree with it. But there's a lot of people, just like they are in every group, who have no connection to politics and issues on a daily basis. They watch the Kardashians. Well, now the Kardashians are hanging them with Donald Trump. And the other guy on the Kardashians is hanging out with Donald Trump. And he's saying, you know what, maybe you guys should consider at least looking at a different

option. We've tried all this crap for 100 years. And it's not working out all that well for us. And now we have the lowest unemployment we've ever seen for African Americans. Why don't we, I don't know? Why don't we like, entertain this a little bit? So I do think there is a bump there that is, that's real. And when that can be challenged, when it can be the counterculture way, you know,

when the cool thing to do is to question the thing everyone else is doing, that's what it used to be, right? Like when you're growing up, you see what your parents did. You're like, I don't want to do that. I want to do this. You know, I want to go the other way. Everyone's saying I should do this. I want to do that.

and that for whatever reason has not crossed over with the Democrats and younger voters and black voters and to some level of Hispanic voters that if that can be overturned and people can say just giving a chance you don't have to agree but give a chance to the idea that maybe freedom's the best way for you to go maybe you having your own money is the best way for you to go

maybe not going to the government for so many things is a better approach if that can get out there there's no reason that can't connect with every group. It's very human. You know, not wanting someone in your way, having an opportunity to control your own destiny is very human.

And I think any group would like that. But it's just, it's got such a crappy brand name on it right now. Yeah. It's hard to convince others. But I mean, someone like Kanye West can make a dent with that audience, I think. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Like listening to this podcast?

But while you're there, Do us a favor and rate the show. Jeffy's with us. Anybody buying that there was a super velocity UFO that just passed by the Earth? NASA's released photographs of an unexplained, of unexplained sound waves moving across the Earth at high velocity speeds. High tech cameras on the International Space Station captured it. The bizarre images have sparked a frenzy of speculation of where it came from. The images show a strange cloud pattern that looks as if it was produced by some unidentified flying object.

A secret sonic weapon. The mysterious ripples in the clouds extend for miles from space. The images were first spotted by NASA, the NASA website by Blake and Brett Cousins, who run the conspiracy theorist group YouTube channel, third phase of the moon. But they're right on a lot of things. Really? A lot of things. Third phase of the moon?

Yeah. They're right in the first two phases. Yes. Both of the YouTubers agree that whatever it was, it was massive. Both of them agree. Not just one of them. News stories that include the phrase both of the YouTubers agree. That's a news story?

Yeah. What's wrong with that? It doesn't seem like it's like two people said on Twitter. Like that's not a news story. Yeah, that's not a thing. The fact that two people said something on Twitter just means it's a thing that can be said. All things are said on Twitter. I know, but two YouTubers agreed with.

NASA here. And let's not forget they have a website called Third Phase of the Moon. So. So, that's a great point in all, but I just I just feel like, you know, maybe we'd need a little more evidence.

Really? Like, for example, yesterday, when they shut the White House down, and they were like, oh, where did you hear about that? The slow blob moving in the sky? Yeah, that freaks you out. A slow blob moving in the sky. They locked down the White House. It was a bunch of birds. That's it? In a flock.

What? Has that been confirmed on YouTube yet? Third phase of the moon thinks it was an alien. But everyone else seems to think it were birds. It was birds. But again, those are the same people who tell you that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Thank you. They closed down the White House for 20 minutes because of birds.

Wow, they're aggressive birds, bad. That's amazing. It is amazing. And embarrassing, by the way. And embarrassing. Yeah. Wow. Well, the same day he was pardoning birds,

then more birds are shutting down the White House. I mean, the world's gone. Right? World's gone. Shut it down. He was actually pretty funny on the pardon of the turkey thing when he was talking about the fact that yes, they've been pardoned, but they've already been subpoenaed by Adam Schiff and his group.

He'll be asked to testify in the basement of the Capitol building. He didn't get a lot of. It was actually a pretty good moment for me. He didn't. He didn't get the laugh. He deserved a time, though. I know. So, all right.

Well, have a great Thanksgiving. Thank you. Not you. Not you. Everybody else have a great Thanksgiving. Jeffie, yours. You can have an okay Thanksgiving. We have this blanket that has smallpox on it.
