Starting point is 00:00:09 enlarge our clientele to world entire. Trouve of little enterprises Like on our own.com Onesia. Hey, we have a great program for you today talking about all the things you're talking about, first of all,
Starting point is 00:00:19 that horrid, horrid bill that came out of the house yesterday on anti-Semitism. May I remind you, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States absolutely a horrendous idea. We have Chip Roy on that, and the other horrendous idea from the administration is the mainlining of people that have escaped Gaza that, you know, just love America, that went to Egypt.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Egypt doesn't want them. So we're going to put a mainline right from Egypt to the United States and we're transporting. with, I think it's $3.5 or $3.9 billion. We're just going to send all these people here to America. Isn't that? Fabulous. We have that and so much more, including the president's remarks today, on the trouble at the campuses, which I don't know. I kind of love myself.
Starting point is 00:01:24 I don't like the anti-Semitism, but gosh, it's, really starting to tear at the fabric of the Democratic Party. And, oh, I hate to see cannibalism. Podcast begins in a minute. Being prepared for an emergency is just not a smart thing to do. It is the right thing to do, especially if you have a family who's you're going to depend on and are depending on you to get them through it.

You're listening to The Best of the Blenbeck program. So the bill was introduced by a New York Republican, Mike Law.
Starting point is 00:03:08 It passed 320 to 91, and it's now going to go to the Senate. The House of Representatives passed a major anti-Semitism bill on Wednesday, which would crack down on anti-Semitism on college campuses as protests rage nationwide. So you're now not saying that this is going to be for everybody. This is just through the Department of Education. legislation was opposed by 21 Republicans and 70 Democrats. The legislation seeks to make the Department of Education adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism when enforcing the 1964 Civil Rights Act on college campuses.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Now, I had to look it up. What is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism? Well, they define anti-Semitism as, and I'm quoting, a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews. It also defines it as a heretical and physical manifestation of anti-Semitism and directed towards Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and or their property, towards the Jewish community, institutions, and religious facilities. Examples of anti-Semitism include calling for the harming of the Jewish people in the name of racial or extremist view of religion and accusing Jewish people of inventing and or exaggerating the Holocaust. The combat anti-Semitism movement hailed the passage as a momentous achievement,
Starting point is 00:04:55 but said work remains to be done to get it through the Senate, and President Joe Biden's desk. While we celebrate this milestone, our work is far from over. We now need to urgently call upon Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to prioritize the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. Okay, so there are the 20 Republicans in the House that stood up. Florida Representative Matt Gates opposed the bill.
Starting point is 00:05:25 He said, this is a hate speech bill. anti-Semitism is wrong, but the legislation is written without regard for the Constitution, common sense, or even common understanding of the meaning of the words. If this bill would pass, the gospel itself would meet the definition of anti-Semitism under the terms of this bill. Democratic lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, has also called for the passage of the bill. the Countering Anti-Terrorism Act or Antisemitism Act. The bill would combat anti-Semitism through the appointment of a new presidential advisor that would be charged with implementing the White House's coordinated strategy in dealing with anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 00:06:13 What could possibly go wrong here? The effort to crush anti-Semitism and hatred in any form is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It's an American issue that must be addressed in a bipartisan manner with a fierce urgency of now. Because after all, gang, say it with me, we've got to do something. Okay, you know when I hear people say, the Jews killed Jesus, or those dirty Jews run the world, or those Jews are responsible for everything bad, or you're just saying things because you have a Zionist master.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I think to myself, you're a bloody idiot. You have no clue as to what is really happening in the world. Do you have no clue? Are there some Jewish people that are very successful in top of corporations or top of whatever? Yeah, yeah, there are. Are they very successful Jews that happen to be bankers? Yeah, but you know what? There's also very successful bankers that are Catholics and Mormons and Lutherans and Methodists and dare I say it, atheists.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah, but it's the Jews that are the problem. You're an idiot. You shouldn't run around saying these things, but I kind of actually like it when you do. Because I know exactly who you are. Oh, here's a guy who is so. stupid he can't tie his own shoes, or he's just a massive racist. Kids, stay away from him. You shouldn't run around saying because it's false, it's rude, it's stupid, all of the above. And we're trying to create a society here. The proper response to this act is to not post memes
Starting point is 00:08:28 of long-nosed Jews wrapping their tentacles around a U.S. flag. It doesn't mean you're right about how the Jews are or vindicated for noticing that Zionists are the reason for everything is bad that it's ever happened. You can say those things. You can say those things. Because our Constitution guarantees it. You know how I feel about anti-Semitism. You know how I feel about the Holocaust and the return of the Holocaust.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I've been warning about it. I've been trying to prepare you for this time. I've prepared my family for this time. Hard choices are going to come soon. They already are. This one doesn't seem hard. What have I always said? The Constitution must rule.
Starting point is 00:09:28 The Constitution must be our set of principles that we do not violate. violate, no matter if it cuts your way or against you. This, this act, you would think that someone like me that is very supportive of the Jews and Israel would be all four. I am dead set against this. And you should be too. Something can be legally permissible and morally repulsive at the same time. Speech needs to be protected, not the stuff we all agree on, but the stuff we don't agree on. The only speech that needs protection is the speech that a lot of people, the majority, find absolutely abhorrent. Congress doesn't understand. You cannot legislate hatred away. You can't pass a bill. You know what happens? All you do,
Starting point is 00:10:37 is you create speak-easies of hate. They go into the closet, they go into another room where they can't be heard, and it just becomes a festering pool of hate that at some point will break out. The only one that can remove hatred from hearts is God. We can do our part. Does that mean that jerk protesters can prevent Jewish students from entering their own classroom? No, that's not speech. In the public square, and I mean that electronically as well,
Starting point is 00:11:21 those who are standing up and quite honestly spreading the lies about the Palestinians in Hamas and saying, no, they're not. They're good. They're great. There's not a problem there. As much as it kills me to say it, I stand with them on freedom of freedom of. speech only. The people who voted for this bill, I'm sure it was well intended, but they're misguided by human nature itself. Governments cannot fix human hearts. They are also, they should all be sent back to some remedial class on the principles of the
Starting point is 00:12:14 Constitution of America. the importance of freedom of speech, the importance of not rushing in to do something because it's scary right now. No. No. Why is it this Congress can only pass the things that seemingly only hurt the strength of America
Starting point is 00:12:40 and only cut across the Constitution? You just took away. our Fourth Amendment right for warrants. You just took that away. You're now just passed another bill that is bringing people who have escaped Gaza and our Palestinians, remember, 97% of them in the latest poll hate America. about 70% of them were all for Hamas in the 80%tile range of supporting October 7th
Starting point is 00:13:24 Congress, you just passed a bill that are bringing those people in to America and settling them here in America. What the hell is wrong with you? You live in the upside down world. I don't. I still live in the world where America is all about protected rights. It's a dark day when only 20 people in Congress that are Republican will stand up against this bill. It is a dark, dark day. George Washington told his troops after the Revolutionary War.
Starting point is 00:14:15 They all wanted to go and kill Congress. because Congress was dishonorable. Congress promised that they were going to make a certain amount of money, and Congress would pay them. And after they won the war, Congress said, oh, we don't have the money, we can't pay you. Dishonorable. And, quite frankly, stupid.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You have a group of soldiers that just bested the strongest military and navy in the world. and you're going to piss them off and be dishonorable. And they're just outside of Philadelphia. And you're in Philadelphia. You morons. George Washington knew exactly what they were planning. They were planning to kill Congress because they were dishonorable.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And quote, we just beat the British. I think we could handle Congress. cutting a long, fascinating story very short, George Washington said to them, men, you must not do this. We did not overthrow one dictator just to replace him with another. America.
Starting point is 00:15:42 We are concerned, I am concerned, I think you're concerned, that we are moving into an autocratic state. You cannot work to overreux. overthrow one dictator to replace him with another. If this bill passes, I warn you. It will be used against you. The American public is getting a raw deal at the hands of its elected government.
Starting point is 00:16:14 It is time that somebody stands up. Every time a member of the Biden administration steps into a press conference and tells you the economy is improving, they are lying. They might as well just stab you in the back because they are devaluing the dollar. The value of your dollar is dropping by the day, and it is only a matter of time, less and less time, before the bottom completely drops out of the economy. So what are you and your family doing to prepare for that? Please do not listen to the so-called experts. When was the last time they told you the truth? Are you building protections around your asset just in case what I'm telling you happens to be right?
Starting point is 00:17:03 May I recommend you look into precious metals? Lear Capital can help you with this. Please get your free wealth protection guide. Read up all about it. Decide if this is right for you, but call them. The number is 800-957 gold. 800-9-57 gold. Do it now.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, Chip, it's got to be fun in Washington for people like you. Well, when isn't it fun here, Glenn? Could you please, before we get to the Palestinian refugee pipeline, could you please tell me what the people, especially the Republicans, were thinking with this anti-free speech bill? Yeah, I mean, this is a bill that has caused a significant amount of concern over the last basically 72 hours.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I frankly wasn't even aware. I think we had some anti-Semitism bill. I thought it was kind of more like a resolution, just condemning anti-Semitism, which I'm not a big fan of resolutions and all that kind of stuff. Oh, let's do something for a message. You're not going to change crap. You know what's changing things? Guys like, you know, Ben Sass down at the president of the University of Florida saying, hey, we don't run a daycare. There are consequences and just, you know, taking action. and stopping it. You know, or the president of University of Texas, Jay Hartzell, just clamping down and saying, nope, no encampment, you're not doing this crap here. You can speak, you can say what you want. We're free speech, but you're not going to block everybody's ability to go to school. That's leadership. You go after crimes. You go after activity. You don't police speech. And what my foolish, foolish Republican colleagues did in the name of political expediency, because they wanted to seem like, oh, look at us, we're going to go take advantage of this political moment. And we're going to go out and we're going to pass an anti-Semitism bill. you're going to then put out a document or a bill in statute that links to an international organization's definition of anti-Semitism,
Starting point is 00:19:06 which rattles off examples literally referenced in the statute that define what is anti-Semitism, and it's a whole bunch of speech and thought and act, you know, and the kinds of things that we shouldn't have the federal government, especially the Department of Education policing. It's thought police. It's nuts. The gospel of Jesus Christ, a Jew himself, would be, would fall under hate speech with those rules that they passed yesterday. The gospel. Well, here's the thing. This is what happens when these guys governed by polls. When they make decisions based on some sort of thing, let's give a bill to a member of Congress from New York so that he can go campaign on it, no matter what's in it, because it says anti-Semitism in the title.
Starting point is 00:19:53 That's what happened. We didn't put it through committee. We didn't have a chance to amend it, debate it, change it, think about it. We didn't have a hearing. They did it for political expediency. And political expediency is the ruin of the Republican Party. It's why the Republican Party is a vacuous shell. But I will tell you, Glenn, I was so proud of a block of our Republican colleagues who stood up and said no. Some of us voted against the ridiculous, you know, foreign aid package last week that included funding for Israel. which ticked us off because they put us in a bad position having to vote against funding for Israel, which I support. But I voted against it because of what you want to talk about. And next, it had tons of funding in there for Hamas, including the refugee program. So we vote against that bill. We have all of these, you know, pro-Israel groups like A-PAC and all of these groups mad at us. And then they're getting all of our supporters that support Israel mad at us and our church friend.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And we have to go out and explain it. And when we do, our people are generally with us. But then they make us take another vote yesterday. That's not leadership. But a block of Republicans stood up strong in the face of that, knowing they would take the arrows. I'm so proud of the courage of some Republicans that are finally showing the emperor has no clothes. We are making and laying bare what has been rotting in this God-forsaken city in Washington, killing this country over the last two decades.
Starting point is 00:21:16 We're not going to let them take our country from us, Glenn. We're going to keep fighting and exposing it. So, Chip, I said last night to an audience, I said, I don't think we understand how close we are to winning. That there is a sea change. It's just taking a while, but there is a sea change. And this next election will either prove this out or we collapse. but there are more Republicans in Congress and the Senate now than I've ever seen before that are actually standing up.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I mean, I know it's not a lot, but 20 standing up is a good thing. It's a really good thing. No, Gwen, I could not agree more. Now, this is your, you're taking a page out of the book that I use when I go out trying to explain to voters why they should be energized and cared because you know what? When you look at it, you know, superficially, you're really frustrated. You guys keep spending money. You're doing all this stuff, foreign aid.
Starting point is 00:22:24 But, man, you are right. You said it exactly right. We are so close to winning. The people are fed up. They've got a block of people here who are exposing the truth. And we are getting more people to join our ranks. We need to win more primaries. But importantly, because we're not going to get everybody elected through primaries to get the majority of freedom fighters that you and I would want out of the entire Republican conference.
Starting point is 00:22:44 we need to lay down markers what we demand, demand of every Republican next January. Lord willing, we have President Trump and we have Republican House and the Senate. We are going to demand these 10 things, or your head is on a freaking political platter, and you are no longer going to serve. That needs to be what we say, and we need to be clear about it. We need to be expressly clear about it in this election cycle, but we're going to demand of Republicans because no more of this nonsense, no more unpaid for wars. And by the way, Glenn, you and I both adhere to the belief that a low,
Starting point is 00:23:21 broad tax rate, getting government out of our lives, creates economic wealth, creates economic opportunity, right? Yep. But a lot of our rich folks, a lot of our, you know, donor class, if I may say it, have been taking basically a free ride. They're okay saying, let's go have endless wars. Let's go send $175 billion to Ukraine over the last two years. And let's go do sending some more this fall. But they don't want to talk about, okay, what if I told you the top marginal rate is going to go up to 70% so you can pay for it? When I've said that to a few of them, they have a heart attack. I'm tired of people getting a free ride, hiding behind, you know, economic theories of low tax rates in the laffer curve to go out there and say, we should engage in endless wars like we have
Starting point is 00:24:04 the last 25 years to the tune of $8.5 trillion, $70,000,000 injured American, 7-something,000 dead American men and women in uniform because they don't want to have to, you know, frankly step up and own their part of it. So we got to have a real conversation between now and next year about what we want. But the freedom fighters in Congress right now, they are standing up and God bless them. And by the way, on the spending front, we kept the spending on the non-defense flat. The funding for defense that went up came out of the hide of the IRS expansion. We passed the border security bill that's the best we've ever passed. And we took animal off the table. We got seven appropriations bills passed last year, 1100 amendments. We've exposed a lot,
Starting point is 00:24:46 including, by the way, last point, sorry for the filibuster. Last September, three weeks before what happened in Israel, we had a vote to defund UNRWA. Eight Republicans voted against it, killing it. And three weeks later, we see UNRWA-funded terrorists killing, raping, and maiming Israelis in October. guess what? By this spring, we defunded UNRWA. Where were those Republicans last September? That's what I want us to focus on, shining the light on the Republicans who have been messing this up for too long. When are you going to release that list? Well, the doubt is public. I mean, I can put that out there. I mean, I can put that out there. There are several other amendments. We should do that. We should, we should show the amendments we forced votes on last year, like the kill switch. There were 17 or 19. I can't remember Republicans who killed our amendment to kill the kill switch. right? You have the kill switch that will shut your car down because the government says so because your eyes are darting around or whatever makes your car more expensive, total anti-freedom and makes your car more expensive. But 19 Republicans, I think, or 17 killed that. So we should expose all of those. Look, I'm
Starting point is 00:25:54 proud of my votes. Some of them are tough votes. We've got, you know, I've got some police bills for police week coming up. Believe this or not, they're going to put a bill in the judiciary committee and then send it to the floor that uses the commerce power to say that if you're a cop killer and a, you know, SORSDA is not prosecuting you, that the federal government, that is the Department of Justice, can come into your state and prosecute the crime. No. Now, Glenn, you're right. Glenn, you get it.
Starting point is 00:26:21 You and I both hate cop killers. You and I would sentence him to death tomorrow. But you can't empower the Department of Justice through the Commerce Clause to come in and federalize criminal law. So I'm going to offer amendments to says, okay, if you want to, do it for cops? Why not nurses? Why not doctors? Why not clergy? You want to federalize all of that law? Then you do it because you know what? The cop groups are already sending letters against me saying you're opposing this bill that is strong for law enforcement. No, I'm trying to protect freedom so that you are free to be able to go do your job without the federal government coming in using
Starting point is 00:26:55 the Commerce Clause to interject into state, even if it's for supposedly a good reason. let me go back to the refugees, the Palestinian refugees, that Egypt won't accept that we're now taking in. Yep. Tell me about this program. Well, you know, we're still learning about what they're saying, but the Biden administration putting together a program to funnel Palestinian refugees here, as you noted, most, right now, all of these Arab countries are refusing to take them. And the problem is, is 75% of these Palestinians, these refugees, are basically sympathetic with Hamas by any, you know, objective measure of polling. And frankly, a lot of these civilians have participated in the terrorist activities. So now we're going to funnel refugees into the United States, by the way, using the funds that were just funded in the foreign aid bill last week that those of us who voted against told everybody there's $9 billion.
Starting point is 00:27:56 million dollars in here that's going to fund Hamas, fund refugee programs, go to the Palestinian stuff. Guess what? They're going to use that money in part to move people from Gaza to the United States. So guess what? Right now, while you've already got, I think, I can't remember the exact number, something like three million people that have come to the United States from countries that sponsor terror since 9-11. We have opened up our doors and had all these people come to the United States, some of whom are great people and great Americans want freedom and we're fleeing terrible circumstances, some of whom are not great people. A lot of stuff that we did not do, the Afghani refugees, that we weren't doing any kind of real vetting on.
Starting point is 00:28:38 We're on a ticking time bomb and we're funding it. And by the way, Glenn, we have 51.5 million people in this country who are foreign-born. That is a higher percentage than we've ever had in the history of our country. And we are pumping in almost a million a year legally. Now you're going to add to that the refugee program on top of what the President Biden administration is doing, funneling people in across the border. And now the program you saw that has been exposed with the parolees that are being flown into cities directly to the tune of 200,000 that were flown in. That's what's happening to our country. And it's purposeful.
Starting point is 00:29:14 At what point, I've never seen clearer cases for impeachment than right now? The president of the United States is clearly working to undermine every aspect of our rule of law, constitution, sovereignty, the security of American people on a daily basis, putting aside the Hunter Biden situation. Yes. Putting aside all of that. Putting aside the family dealing. The fact of the matter is the buck stops with the president. And Alejandro Mayorkas and the entire DHS regime, of course we should impeach myorkers.
Starting point is 00:29:49 But the buck stops with Biden, it is his administration that is ignoring the law. It is his administration that is using, you know, small pieces of the law to undermine our sovereignty and security, weaken us and it dangerous. It is because of him and his policies that Lake and Riley is dead. That's just the truth. It's not like it's, oh, well, you know, you have war and so Americans die. Okay, it's hard. You're the president. You're just doing your job.
Starting point is 00:30:14 No, he specifically has chosen to abuse the parole policies that were created on a case-by-case basis to help people. Like somebody who's sick with cancer, can they come here and see a loved one or go to MD Anderson or something on a case-by-case basis? Instead, they are flooding hundreds of thousands of people in, in violation of law, and he knows it, and they don't care. All of these are impeachable offenses. And to my Republican colleagues who say, no, it's not. That's maladministration. They're wrong. What the hell is impeachment for if it's not for this kind of stuff?
Starting point is 00:30:46 for the student loan forgiveness alone, $1.4 trillion that thing's going to cost in the end. Yeah. No, I mean, you saw the same report that I just saw. I can't remember the outside group, the committee for fiscal responsibility or whatever, studied it and said at a minimum $800 billion as high as $1.4 trillion, which you and I both know means it'll be $1.4 trillion. And I saw it was like $6 billion that it did to fund, like I think for art, people of art, Yes. Like, we're just an insane people. Meanwhile, my wife, who grew up with a single mom in Texas and went to, you know, Texas A&M, went to UT for law school, chose to go there to have cheaper tuition instead of expense, more expensive schools.
Starting point is 00:31:29 She's still technically paying off the last parts of her student loans after literally 20 years since she graduated because we've done it all the right way. But, you know, we're still driving 15-year-old cars and doing that. And by the way, that's not a woe with me thing. That's the American dream. No. That's what you do. She worked hard.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Her mom worked hard. Her grandfather worked hard so that she could experience that and be who she is and help me and support me. And I'm in Congress. We have great kids. And you know what? You're undermining the American dream when you do this crap. Yes, you are.
Starting point is 00:32:01 And Republicans are guilty because we fund it. We just funded that stupid student loan program. I've got to go. But thank you for everything you're doing. Thank you. Keep plowing through this crap and exposing the Republicans that need to be replaced. Thank you so much. Representative Chip Roy from Texas.
Starting point is 00:32:21 The best of the Glenn Beck program. Oh, my goodness. My goodness, is he doing it? I only see him on MSNBC. Already coughed once into his hand. Can we pull one of these? Let's see if we can get some of the audio. Get something on...
Starting point is 00:32:47 Both must be appelled. We are not an authoritarian. nation where we silence people or squash descent. The American people are heard. In fact, peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues. But, but, but neither are we a lawless country. We're a civil society. An order must prevail.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Throughout our history, we've often faced moments like this because we are a big, diverse, free-thinking and freedom-loving nation. And moments like this are always those who rush into score political points. But this isn't a moment for politics. It's a moment for clarity. So let me be clear. Peaceful protest in America. Violent protest is not protected.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Peaceful protest is. It's against the law when violence occurs. Destroying property is not a peaceful protest. It's against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows. shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest. Threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's against the law. Dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder or to denying the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. Look, it's basically a matter of fairness. It's a matter of what's right. There's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos. People have the right to get an education, the right to get a degree, the right to walk across the campus safely without fear of being attacked.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Let's be clear about this as well. There should be no place on any campus, no place in America for anti-Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's anti-Semitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans. It's simply wrong. There's no place for racism in America. It's all wrong. It's un-American.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I understand people have strong feelings and deep convictions. In America, we respect the right and protect the right for them to express that. But it doesn't mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without destruction, without hate, and within the law. You know, make no mistake, as President, I will always defend free speech, and I will always be just as strong and standing up for the rule of law. That's my responsibility to you, the American people, my obligation of the Constitution. Thank you very much. Okay, so there you go. You have Joe Biden doing, you want to take questions? Yeah, you might be taking a question here. I'll see it.
Starting point is 00:35:49 sees with regard to the region. And he walks away. Do you think the National Guard should intervene? No. He's walking away and the door is closing behind him. But he's still answering them. Yeah. No. No. He's just in the no.
Starting point is 00:36:05 He's in the hallway. No. He's in his bedroom. No. He looks at his wife. She says no. I know. That's what's happening. What did you make of that? I mean, it was pretty milk toast, boring, not much.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I don't, like, we were talking about this off the air, that he had an actual opportunity here if he wanted to to win over a good chunk of the country while risking his far left flank of kind of having the, you know, cliched sister soldier moment where he comes out and is really harsh against these people who are doing what they're doing. He didn't do that. He did not do that. That was a, it may have been what he was trying to do. He's seemingly incapable of giving a.
Starting point is 00:36:48 speech of any value? And that was a, it was a just a not, you know, like, hey, I think it's enough to satisfy many supporters. We're also at the, which, what kind of supporters? Like, what group is he targeting with that?
Starting point is 00:37:07 His, like a liberal, maybe Jewish voter. Yeah. And not really, I think he's kind of pissed off the Jews when he's like, in no place for anti-Semitism. or, you know, people wanted to hurt Hamas and Palestinians and Muslims and those who are in the Mickey Mouse Club. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Well, that's a big one. The ones that have been raped by the Disney Corporation, which we're totally fine with. You know, I don't think he reached out to those supporters, but I think he did enough for maybe the average person who is a Democrat and wants him to do the right thing. they went well okay so he's strong on that he said no violence he said no violence protesters okay but no violence and such and I think that maybe there's some group maybe he connects with that I think though there was a chance for him to to really like set this issue as maybe make it into a strength instead of a weakness
Starting point is 00:38:04 and he did not do that there that was a you know he could have made a moment of like look you know these these people on these campuses are basically calling them revolting, like passion, some sort of anger toward the people who were calling for the genocide of Jews. There's none of that.
Starting point is 00:38:23 It was like, well, to make sure people can get to classes. You know, everyone's got a right to get a degree, which by the way, they don't have a right to.
Starting point is 00:38:30 But all of that being said, uh, it was, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen out of his mouth. I mean, he didn't have like, at least he didn't have like
Starting point is 00:38:38 red villain lighting behind him. Well, you know, it's great though. He doesn't need that anymore. We all just know. We all just know. It's built into his character. Villal.
Starting point is 00:38:49 You know, it's funny too. Like, he's from a dramatic standpoint, you couldn't put Joe Biden in like a dramatic movie because he's so bad at these speeches. Even if he says something evil, you're just like, oh, God, this sucks. Like that you don't even see. It's not like. I think that we should bring the guillotine back and we should take old bankers and we should got their edge off. Right. Like it's so.
Starting point is 00:39:14 There's no emotion. Like you go back to like the Star Wars like You know This is how Liberty dies With Thumbus applause speech. It's like you need to be You can't put him in a movie Everyone would be like, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:39:30 There's a difference between Is he talking about hamburgers? What's he talking? And the rebels are taking our bases And we must stop for the empire. Right. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:39:41 We got a cough three times in the middle of the sentence. My uncle was in a spaceship once. He was probed by aliens. Isn't it just, can we at least agree with this? Democrats, Republicans, everybody across the aisle. This is embarrassing. Can we at least just agree on that point? You can still say his policies are better or whatever people around him
Starting point is 00:40:11 that are making the policies have a better idea how to run the country. But aren't you just embarrassed by this day after day after day? It is just utterly depressing that the country that has led the world out of the lack of civilization has this bolt running it. It's so pathetic in every way.
Starting point is 00:40:34 So you're drawing a lot more out of this speech than I did. I don't think it was bad. I don't think it was good, but I don't think it's going to, that's not going to make any impact one way or another. I don't know that we disagree. I think that, like, I think he had an opportunity for impact, which he did not take. He could have made it worse. I don't know that he did that.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I just think that he's such an uninspiring figure, and I'm embarrassed that were led by someone like that. And when I say led, it's definitely an air quotes there. I don't know that the president should be viewed this way, but it's the way that we do view the president. He just sucks. It's maybe not even deeper than that. He just sucks at this. He's not good at the thing he does. The job he has, he's incapable of doing.
Starting point is 00:41:23 And that's a little bit frustrating for a world's super power. Yeah, see, again, now I think you're blowing too soft. He doesn't, he's not just incapable of doing it. The guy is a box of matches in a fireworks factory. But yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And he's constantly striking himself. I just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Uh-oh, what happened? What happens? Yeah. And he's constantly setting everything on fire. But I don't think that, that speech didn't strike me as like, hey, keep going protesters. No. It wasn't that. Which, again, if he was some ideological maniac, maybe he would have gone that.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Like, Elizabeth Warren would have done that. Elizabeth Warren would have been out there being like, yeah, burn these things to the ground. I mean, you know, probably. I think he didn't quite do that. I think he went out there with the idea of people are criticizing me for not saying anything. I got to say something. I can say, hey, free speech is good, but don't break the law, everybody. And then step back and, you know, have my, you know, probably at this point, what is it, 10 a.m. dinner.
Starting point is 00:42:29 And then the day's over, right? Like, that's what it felt like. And that's what it feels like all the time with this guy. Even when he's doing things that are viscerally angering, about he's overcoming the entire system of government with things like the student loan plan. And he does it the same way. He looks as boring and terrible and awful and coughing in the middle of the sentences that he does every other speech. And like, you know, watching him, it's funny too because he's obviously been told,
Starting point is 00:43:00 hey, if you can avoid coughing in the middle of a sentence, can you do that? Multiple times he went to cough and he catches himself and his hand stays. like a foot away from his he brings it up and then he starts to cough and he realizes he's not supposed to do it because he's almost, I don't think he has to cough it's like he's just doing it as a tick like he wants to like
Starting point is 00:43:19 I don't know what he's doing. Are you? And then he also has this little scratch his face thing in the middle like in the middle of like You're making fun of him being. And you know the Jews shouldn't be so murdered all the time. Like whatever the hell he was saying.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I just feel like it's just an embarrassment from beginning to end. So I'm sorry you didn't feel like. I'm sorry you didn't feel like. I'm sorry you liked President Biden, you're going to vote for him. That's not how I feel, and I have to be expressing. As he said, free speech is important. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I thought that was actually more effective than what the Republicans did in Congress yesterday. Well, first of all, let's say, yes, I agree with you. I find the same worry in the bill that I think you do, which is not that I have any desire to see more anti-Semitism, but like that you can't really legislate this type of thing the way they're trying to do it. That being said, and especially, it wasn't just Republicans. Democrats voted for it too. No, I know that. I know.
Starting point is 00:44:16 He Kim Jeffries was excited. Excited for it. He loves this. He'd like to go further. Who didn't vote for it, do you know? Was it the AOC branched on the Democrats that didn't vote for it? And the Freedom Caucus on the right, was it one of those types of bills? I have to look at the list again.
Starting point is 00:44:31 But there's 20 Republicans and I think 40 Democrats that didn't that didn't vote. Yeah, there's something in that vicinity. When you were pretty, you've been braced some of course of recreat, always in trying to negotiate and do make some exchange. The apply Negoti-tit-Titre
Starting point is 00:44:47 T-D you can't renew with this instinct that, with without operation gratite, no amount of minimum and no free menstrual.
Starting point is 00:44:55 You're made for negotiate, and the T-D is there for you help.
