Hey, we have a great program for you today
talking about all the things
you're talking about, first of all,
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.
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.
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,

You're listening to The Best of the Blenbeck program.
So the bill was introduced by a New York Republican, Mike Law.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
May I recommend you look into precious metals?
Lear Capital can help you with this.

800-9-57 gold.
Do it now.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
T-D
you can't renew with
this instinct that,
with without operation
gratite,
no amount of minimum
and no free
menstrual.
You're made
for negotiate,
and the T-D
is there for you
help.
