Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, hello, podcasters. Today's a great day to join us today. We start a little dark. Would you say, Pat? Just a tad. I mean, it's a tad dark. Is there any interest in tracking down $7 billion or finding out if, you know, our people are in collusion with another government to throw democracy?

Nick Sandman is the guy, he's the kid that was, you know, there on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the Native American, what's his name, so-and-so Phillips that was beating the drum in his face. Remember that? Mm-hmm. $250 million lawsuit. It was thrown out by this judge.

Starting point is 00:02:22 because I'd like to get some of the heaviness off of the plate as I prepare for the special tonight. But let's just play that again. Could we please play the Al-Bagdadi's audio? President Trump said that because of the killing of Al Baghdagi, Baghdi, that the world is a better place. And I would give credit to he and those that were responsible for it. But we have a lot of work that must still be done in the area of terrorism.
Starting point is 00:02:59 In the same area of the world where Al-Bagdagged was. We're Al Bagel Degg. We're Al Bagga Bones. Al was bagging groceries. Al was bagging Beyonce. And let me ask you, why was traffic problems email sent to Bagabones? Al-Bag-Nagney. Isn't it amazing?

Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts. We go to the one, the only. Nick DePaulo, comedian, host of the Nick Deppo Show. You can find him at Nick Dip.com. Nick Dip.com. That's where you can see his comedy special, and I warn you, it is battery acid on the PC. It is, uh, woo. Don't know how you're staying.
Starting point is 00:08:05 But God bless you, Nick. Actually, I'm not. As you can see, I'm sitting. Right. It's been an exhausting fight. Right. And the white, straight male, it's a lot tougher. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Dave Chappelle just got the Mark Twain Award, which is our nation's highest honor for comedy, is it not? I thought it was the Kathy Griffin Award. No. No, I don't think. I think that used to be in the last administration. So he just won this, and here's what he said. And I can't believe the guy who is standing at the Kennedy Center to be able to get the Mark Twain Award in today's climate is asked about PC and here's what he says.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Political correctness has its face, his place. Excuse me. They all want to live in a polite society. We just have the kind of work on the levels and come to an agreement of what that actually looks like. I personally am not afraid of other people's freedom of expression. I don't use it as a weapon. It just makes me feel better. And I'm sorry if I heard anybody, et cetera, et cetera, yada, yada, y'all.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Everything I'm supposed to say. Okay, so now let me take you to Saturday Night Live and a clip that aired this. I know, I know. A clip that aired this weekend. Listen to this. Yeah, at first I thought Kanye was losing his mind, and now I feel like he's fine. He's just turning into an old white lady.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I mean, it used to be like one of the coolest black dudes on Earth. Now he's showing up to events in sweatpants and orthopedic sneakers. He's listening to Kenny G. And trying to get black people to like Trump. It was like, how long before this guy changed his name to Kathy? Now, you might think that I'm crazy, but about five years ago, there was a fellow named Bruce Jenner,
Starting point is 00:09:56 and he moved to Calabasas. There's a, there's no joke. joke there. So it's not funny. It's horribly delivered. He's in trouble. Is it because it was on I don't know, NBC and they're supposed to be so woke? Or is
Starting point is 00:10:17 it because that's just a bad comedian? He's not a bad comedian, actually. Bad delivery. Well, when you don't ask us and how we can update, you have writers. I don't know if he wrote that himself. He's delivering
Starting point is 00:10:31 somebody else's stuff. But every time we get near the LGBT or trans. It's a big deal. I want that answer. You know, the Bilderberg group, is that made up of eight gay guys? Why is it such an issue? No, I'm asking. I'm dead serious. And if you think it's tough for Dave Chappelle or Michael Shade to do that stuff, try being a 57-year-old white guy. No, I can't imagine. I really, I say this with great admiration for your talent. I mean, I, I, I, I know who you are. I know who you've written for.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I know your career. And for you to be standing is remarkable. I mean, I honestly feel like I should do you a favor and never talk about you on the air. Because I'm bringing attention. What? I know it's, I mean, I kind of feel bad because I know there's somebody out there going, oh, oh, he's still saying these things, that damn white guy. and they'll go after you.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah, but if you're the, if you're the guy that started saying him first, you do get a little credibility. Yeah. I was saying this stuff on a tough crowd in 2000 and, you know, making fun of how white guys are portrayed in commercials in 1995. I was ahead of the curve,
Starting point is 00:11:53 but because I looked like I'm from Palermo, nobody pays attention to it. You do look a little like you could be in a mob movie. Let me just tell you this, These gay jokes, is they going to bring your son back to me? So what is the problem between transsexuals, transgender, and gay people? Why do they not get along? Well, I was in a bathhouse in San Francisco for like two hours last weekend, and I couldn't figure it out.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I have no idea. Because they really don't, I mean, Dave Chappelle even talks about it. Once the tea gets into the car, the yells and the, the, you know, the, Geez, they don't like it. It's like the Jews and the Palestinians, the Middle East. It's so convoluted. I read these articles on my show. I can't make heads and tail.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I should say tails. Who's upset at who, for what? I think the gays are saying the trannies have given us a bad rep trannies. First of all, that's 1970. Transgender people are giving us a bad. I don't know. I still like women, Glenn. What can I tell you?
Starting point is 00:13:04 I've heard from gay friends who will say this is just, that just goes to, this just goes too far. Just goes too far. Well, wait. What does? I agree if we're talking about, you know, sending them into our libraries and having them. I don't want anybody that even makes kids think about sex. I don't want hot women going in and reading to my son.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Just stop it. Just stop it. He's got enough on his place. Please just stop it. However, when it comes to, I don't understand if you're saying, and I am, everybody should just be who they are. I don't care. I don't care. If that's who you want to be, I don't understand how the gay community could have a problem with that.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Well, I just did a story on like having drag queens put on shows for middle student. No, no, no. kids. I have a problem with that because I have a problem because that is true. Well, that's who the trans are. That's what they do. And all of them, they go to middle schools and every one of them. I took a poll. Really? Really? The Quiniac poem said 99.9%. I didn't know that. I didn't know. Great way to meet kids. Okay. I kid. Relax. I can see you turn in rhetoric. No, I'm not. Okay. So let me let me go to the Democrats. Yesterday, yesterday they...
Starting point is 00:14:33 I'd hang with a transgender community before I'd hang with the Democrats. Oh my gosh, I would have them all move in with me before that. So the Democrats voted on something we're not really even sure what it is, the impeachment resolution, but it really doesn't do anything. What are your thoughts on what happened yesterday? But you make a great point about the process. I'm watching, like you said, they voted on this thing, but nothing moves forward, and you wonder why nothing gets done in Washington. But even I know, I'm not a legal scholar, obviously, but you can't be doing all this behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:15:16 The Republicans want to see the, I guess there was some testimony, some witnesses yesterday, and Schiff wanted me to let them look at that. And until I know who the original whistleblower was, this is all a sham. And, you know, Schiff, Schiff said yesterday, he told the witness, the GOP asked a question, apparently. And Schiff said, don't answer that. Well, wait. What's he a lawyer now? He's representing these people? Yeah, apparently.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Apparently. I mean, it's amazing what's going on. And I tell you, that's why people think this is a coup. If you can't put it out in the open, it feels like a coup. Well, they're going to televise it eventually, aren't they? They said it's going to be on TV before Thanksgiving. So I don't know. It'll make me sick of the Detroit Lions offense or Adam Schiff on my TV.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I think I would go for the Adam Schiff. I go for Adam Schiff. There's another story out today. We haven't had a chance to get to. Former President Barack Obama derided woke political purists and Twitter activists in a speech given Tuesday at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago. This idea of purity, and you're never compromised, and you're politically woke, and all of
Starting point is 00:16:39 that stuff, you should get over that quickly. That's funny coming from a guy who actually is behind the deep state and the guy that's spied on Trump while he's running for president. You can't be more woke than that. So I don't know. Is that ever going to come out, Glenn? Is Devin Nunez and Gowdy and all these guys? Lindsey Graham, who talk a big game.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Are they ever going to do anything? So you know what? They say to me, because I've talked to a few of the people on Capitol Hill, and they have said to me, Glenn, you know, how do we phrase this? How do we, we know what's going on, but how do we do this in a soundbite? Here's how. Is it against the national interest to have somebody look into the loss of $7 billion of your tax dollars? Is it in the national interest for the president to ask somebody to look at,
Starting point is 00:17:30 into our governmental corruption, our foreign agents directly influencing the 2016 election, politicians in the U.S. colluding with a foreign government to steal from the American treasury. Is it in our national interest to have the unlawful use of U.S. ambassadors, embassy personnel, national intelligence agencies, the State Department, in collusion with foreign agencies and NGOs to not only affect the election, but to steal billions of dollars? from us. That's how you phrase this. Well, I'll do respect. What scared me most about that statement is what you said they came to you and asked you for advice. No, they didn't. No, no, no. That's what you said, Glenn. That's
Starting point is 00:18:13 exactly what you said. I'm getting nervous. That's what America heard. I heard Nixon used to go to Casey case of get his geopolitical. Shut up. Nick Deppo from Nick Dip.com back in just a second. First. So Nick Deppolo is here. Nick, how many times? a year are you out on the road? That's a great question. I would say two times. I would say 25. Yeah. Where are you out recently? Where can people see you? They can see me Friday and Saturday, November 8th and 9th, the Kansas City Comedy Club. And the following weekend, the Cortland Repertory Theater in Cortland, New York, November 15th,
Starting point is 00:18:54 and November 16th, the Comedy Works, Saratoga Springs. and I have to mention this. I'm finally doing some gigs in my new home state of Georgia. Oh, you are? Which is, yes. Yuck Yucks or milk through your nose? Oh, no, I'm at Skid Marks. No.
Starting point is 00:19:13 November 22nd, you're way off, Glenn. This is the historic Ritz Theater. Oh, wow. That's Friday, November 22nd. Saturday, November 23rd, the Tiff Theater in Tifton, Georgia. And I can't wait. There'll be a lot of trucker hats and tobacco. Have you ever played the Roxy in, I'm trying to remember where it is in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:19:32 It's the first, it's the original Roxy Theater. I did a show there once and they used an arc spotlight. I mean, when I say it's the original, it hasn't changed since it was open and they used an arc spotlight. And so it was, you know, an arc light. It was burning carbon to light. And it was like the surface of the sun hot. It was like somebody was holding a junk. giant magnifying glass on the sun.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I thought it was going to set me on fire. That's how all the lights are, all these places. So I have a line every time. I use it every time. I go, hey, easy with the lights. What am I a pot plant? It really. It is. And then the sensitive, the light guy turns it all the way down
Starting point is 00:20:16 from it in the dark. Well, halfway through my show, you know, it's carbon that's burning. And so halfway through the show, it's going to be taxed. It went out. It went out. And then I went, oh, thank you. God and the guy that just a minute he put another one in
Starting point is 00:20:33 and lit it back up it was crazy and the show was much funny I was it was a last theater I was at they wouldn't let me smoke and I said are you kidding me I'm sitting on a broken ladder in the green room with paint buckets around me a fuse box with white and there's
Starting point is 00:20:52 literally asbestos dripping in my Diet Coke and the guy goes you can't smoke in here You guys were shooting porn in this theater like three days ago, but I can't have a cigarette. There's a new thing going on now, and I just saw this yesterday. Have you seen the OK Boomer stuff? No, I have not. Okay, so there's this new, it's a generational war, Nick. And there's this new thing going on online and also on products.
Starting point is 00:21:24 It says, okay, boomer, have a day. terrible day or whatever and it's the millennials the millennials taking on the boomers and everybody's immediately going oh look they're just going on there's the end i gotta tell you most boomers despise millennials and have no problem saying it out loud it's not like the the millennials are starting this they're just getting into the game yeah they finally realized that they can push this such not all of them i i sort of think they get a bad rep of the millennials.
Starting point is 00:21:58 But they're not pretty soft. But they do get a bad rep. But now I see that 70% of them wouldn't have a problem with socialism in this country. So now I hate every one of them. I will push back. I might be 57. I've had 14 shoulder operations. I will take on Michael Chey.
Starting point is 00:22:20 You know what? I think that the ones that I meet, and not all of them, but the ones that I have met, I need a lot of them who are... Why are you hanging out? It's creeping me out, Glenn. I'm not going to say, at least at this time, and not under oath. The thing that I see in millennials is that when you stop talking the usual political bull crap, they listen and they want to learn. Not all of them, obviously, but they want to learn.
Starting point is 00:22:54 They've never heard this stuff before. That's right. Yeah, nobody's teaching them anything. Nobody's teaching them how to even think. They're just being taught what to think. And they know that's crap. Some of them do. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Right when they get to pre-K, from pre-K to college, they're being brainwashed with this left-wing horse crap. So, yeah, some of them do enjoy to hear the truth. But were you any different? Nick, were you different? Were you different? Yeah, I was transgender in 1976. Really?
Starting point is 00:23:30 I was breaking the mold up at the University of Maine. No, I must have been different. I grew up in Boston. I went to school, University of Maine, and then I spent the last 25 years in L.A. and New York, and I have these attitudes like I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. So I guess I am. I have to tell you, though, I was 30 before I so literally,
Starting point is 00:23:52 sobered up and realized, I don't know anything. I'm an idiot. Oh, what were you, what were you drinking when you were? Well, I made you so numb to what was going on. Well, Maker's Mark. So it was, I know, I wasted. Oh, Maker's Mark. Maker's Mark and Jack Daniels. It was great. Holy moly. Yeah, no, it was great. And you still have a nice head of hair and you're helping. I know. It's unbelievable. I'm probably dead in 15 minutes, but it was, I can tell. It was, You have a nice pal. Well, actually, you do look like Dead Kennedy. It was circa five years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:27 All right. I don't think we need to go there. Nick, Nick Topalo, you can find him online at Nick Dip.com. Watch his comedy special. It is very raw and very funny. Nick Dip. Thank you so much, Nick. Glenn, you're the best.

He's an active member of the Board of Governors for the Kentucky Bar Association. He's formally the president of the Northern Kentucky Bar Association, board member of the Northern Kentucky Volunteer Lawyers. This guy looks to be a guy I wouldn't want to see across for me if I were the Washington Post. But he is here to tell us exactly what happened on Monday in the Nick Sandman case against the Washington Post. Todd, welcome to the program. Go ahead and good to be here. Thank you. Thank you. So why do you? Why did the judge throw this out in the first place in July?
Starting point is 00:26:14 The judge's initial ruling on the case suggested that he said that everything that the Washington Post had published was basically an opinion or not related to Nick Sandman. And so when there were statements like the students were mocking, he said that's not related to Nick Sandman. And when Nathan Phillips, when the post reported that Nathan Phillips said I was blocked and they prevented me from retreating, the judge said that that was an opinion. And so what we did, and my co-counsel in this case is Lynn Wood out of Atlanta. Lynn and I looked at this and we said that there were some opportunity here to provide some additional information that might change the judge's thinking. So we did that. We provided some additional video, which showed more fully what happened. We provided statements about Nathan Phillips being basically a professional protester and a provocateur,
Starting point is 00:27:09 and we said that the Washington Post should not have taken his statements at face value that he was an unreliable person, and that they negligently republished a false factual narrative. And that was persuasive. The court's order came out just the other day, and we were off to a conference on December 3rd to push the case ahead. Well, how can somebody say that, well, he wasn't talking about Nick Sandman when he became the face of it? For instance, if I say, you know, the brave protesters in Tiananmen Square, I don't mean just the guy who stood in front of the tank, but he's the guy we all think of. Now, we didn't see his face. We don't know his identity, but they've concentrated on his face.
Starting point is 00:27:58 He is the face. The civil rights movement wasn't only. only Martin Luther King, but Martin Luther King was the image that we saw all the time. So how can this not, how can this not be defamation of him? Well, it is defamation. And the court with regard to some of those statements is going to allow us to proceed. With regard to the others, we don't agree with the court's ruling in every aspect. And that's why the judge struck some of those statements.
Starting point is 00:28:28 So that's an issue we'll have to address later. I would agree with you. I think there's good law that says that you're right. I'm right, but right now we're just happy to be proceeding with the case. Does it help, Todd, that the, well, I don't know about the Washington Post, but other outlets, I know, even after they found out who Phillips was, they dismissed all of that and still tried to make Nick look like the bad kid. Correct.
Starting point is 00:28:56 It does help with the other cases because the same analysis would apply, and we went into the other lawsuits and amended those to make them similar to the Washington Post case. which the judge is now not dismissed. And so we would expect that we'll get the same result. But we'll see. And you're right. I mean, plenty of other news outlets. I mean, the Washington Post has issued a editor's note on some of their reporting,
Starting point is 00:29:22 but CNN and NBC have never retracted. So we have seen that problem as well. How confident are you in this case? Because this case could really change reporting, I think, in a good way. You know, they all had the same access that I had and others had, and they wanted this story to be true, and so they made it true. How confident are you, and what do you think the ramifications will be if you win? Well, we're, of course, confident. We're all investing an enormous amount of time and effort into this case, and we wouldn't do that if we didn't feel
Starting point is 00:30:02 that we had a legitimate, strong case. I think that the case, when it's ultimately presented to a jury, is going to be very persuasive even with the limitations that the court has placed on some of our allegations. And with regard to the effect that this case could have, well, it could protect people like Nicholas Sandman who are, you know, private figures from being attacked and ravaged by the media in the way that he was by basically sending out a strong warning that if you're going to attack minors or private individuals and use them as a tool and, you know, in a debate or a culture war, attack on a president, whatever it may be, that you better think twice. So we certainly would hope that we can generate change in the process of bringing these lawsuits. What's Nick's life been like since
Starting point is 00:30:49 this? Well, Nick was 16 and a junior in high school when this happened. He's now 17 and he's a senior in high school. I mean, his time at school is going well, but there's no doubt that there have been, And, you know, many things that have happened to him over the past 10 months or so that have been very negative. And there's no doubt that when a person like Nick Samman goes out in public, people know who he is. Everywhere I've been with him, people know who he is. And so he's, you know, constantly concerned about running into the wrong person out there.
Starting point is 00:31:25 So what is his college? An unfortunate fact. What is his college admittance going to be like? What is his life on a college campus in today's world going to be like? Well, my son's a little bit older than Nick, and he, two years ago, had a plate of French fries thrown on him for wearing a Make America Great Again hat at his college. I would think that college life for a person with that reputation is going to be a challenge. As for college admissions, we don't know. He's applying. We'll see how that goes. Todd, we wish you well. How are the cases against NBC and CNN and others going?
Starting point is 00:32:04 cases are they're currently pending on motions to dismiss, and we're just in the briefing process of those. We've substantially completed that, so I think everything's in front of the judge now. He'll be issuing a ruling that we hope will be favorable for the same reasons that the Washington Post recent ruling was favorable. Our prayers are with you. Thank you so much, Todd, and best to the Sandman's. Appreciate it. Glenn, thank you so much. Todd McMurtry.
Starting point is 00:32:33 You can follow him or find him at Todd McMurtry Law. dot com. Is it the sand mans or is it the sand men? It's the sand mans. Did I say this? No, I'm just one. You said the sand man. I was thinking maybe it should be sandmen.
Starting point is 00:32:50 No, I don't think that's the way. Maybe not. No, I don't think that's the way it works exactly. But thank you for that. All right. Thank you for that tip. Appreciate it. Happy to help.
Starting point is 00:32:59 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Like listening to this podcast? If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes. But while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show. Okay, so I'm going to play a couple of pieces of audio for you. From the same day. Here's former President Obama, dismissing the woke culture as politically ineffective. Listen.
Starting point is 00:33:36 This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically boke and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. Like if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right or use the word wrong verb or then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself. Because, man, you see how a woke guy was? I called you out.
Starting point is 00:34:13 You know, that's not activism. That's not bringing about change. Oh, really? Ha! Coming from him, that's pretty interesting. Well, he's kind of in the hot seat now because he wasn't pure enough. Uh-huh, right. The group of people that he first corralled realized that he was not a true believer.
Starting point is 00:34:38 So he was betrayed the revolutions. Only like 80% Marxist. Yeah. He had a few tendencies that let him down the wrong road. Okay, so Obama talking about activists. says you got to stop with a woke culture because it's politically ineffective. And then Michelle Obama says this. I can't make people not afraid of black people.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I don't know what's going on. I can't explain what's happening in your head. But maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human, doing wonderful things, loving my family, loving your kids, taking care of things that I care of that, maybe just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs of your discrimination. She's flat out racist. She's a, that's racist. Well, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:35:31 What do you mean you can't? Wait a minute, wait a minute. I can't make people not afraid of white people. I don't know what's going on. I can't explain what's happening in your head. But maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human, doing good things, loving your kids. Well, maybe just maybe that will work to. pick away at the scabs of your discrimination.
Starting point is 00:35:52 See, I think this works both ways. It does. I think it works both ways. I can't make people not afraid of black people. Well, yeah, you can. You can. You can help. You can help. By not attacking all white people. By not saying that all white people are bad. By not saying and being more like your husband was saying, but not necessarily. necessarily doing.
Starting point is 00:36:22 But like your husband said, you know, every time you make a mistake, it doesn't mean you're a bad person. It just makes you feel better. But it doesn't make, it doesn't help anything. It doesn't help anything. So you reuse the wrong term. You don't understand. If you're wanting to be a good human, you're like, hey, dude, that's cool. I mean, I understand.
Starting point is 00:36:41 But that, that's, that word is like, 1950. So, you know, I want to do this. So without any kind of accusation. without anything else, just be cool with one another. And the same thing goes with white people towards black people. But right now, we are in reverse discrimination. And even that is proof of it. Because you're saying there is no such thing as reverse discrimination because of the hierarchy.
Starting point is 00:37:14 It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. if we all are created equal and we're all the same, then you should, two wrongs don't make a right. But maybe that's, maybe that's just me. Here is Bloomberg on the Democratic primary field. It's just X number of months later, nothing's changed. You know, I have my reservations about the people running
Starting point is 00:37:47 and the way they're campaigning and the promises they're making, that they can't fulfill and their unwillingness to really admit what is possible and what isn't and their inconsistency from day to day and location and the location. This is not the ways to run a railroad. This country is in real trouble. We need somebody to pull people together. And when they say, I'm not going to talk to somebody from across the aisle, this is our country. What do you mean you're not going to talk to somebody from across the aisle?
Starting point is 00:38:20 to somebody from across the aisle. We've got to work together. And I don't see that. What a uniter. What a uniter. And I love the way he talks about, you know, there's no way to run a railroad. Last politician that talked about the railroads working was Mussolini. But I digress. Listen to this. Here's a reporter talking about how Trump is actually a recruitment agent for ISIS. He's a recruiting sergeant for ISIS, Chris, in so many ways. Tony mentioned the whole oil argument, which has obviously been a narrative for a long time. He also is someone who is an Islamophob, which obviously helps groups like ISIS recruit, disillusioned,
Starting point is 00:38:57 angry young men from across the world, not just from across the Middle East. He's featured. He's been featured in ISIS recruiting videos, and his Muslim ban has definitely been a recruiting ad for ISIS. So in many ways, he helps, quote, unquote, the enemy. Okay. Now, how is it that it is our presence in the Middle East
Starting point is 00:39:16 that is the recruiting arm of ISIS, our presence there makes them want to go fight us. So here you have a president who just doesn't just say I'm going to get out of the Middle East actually has been shutting things down
Starting point is 00:39:34 actively. And he's the recruiting person. He's like, get the hell out of there. I don't want anything to do with it. It's a really good point. I mean, how is that possible? By the way, a recruiting poster? He's the
Starting point is 00:39:50 guy he people want to join ISIS because we almost wiped all of them out yeah I want to sign up because the bombs are coming now yeah and it's not like they weren't they weren't pissed at us before but now they are now they are because
Starting point is 00:40:06 Trump said some colorful things about the way one of them died oh I can't take that I can't take that I cannot take the of course he said that of course he said that and of course I mean did Did anybody really think that al-Baghdadi was doing that?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Why did, why did President Bush always call Saddam Hussein Saddam? The first President Bush. Yeah. I think that was H.W. wasn't it? Well, they both. I think they both did it. George W. I know George H.W. did, but I think it was both of them. It seems to me that that was an insult.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It's an insult. Saddam Hussein is an insult. It's Saddam Hussein. So it wasn't, because I remember people going, he doesn't even know how to pronounce the name. He did it intentionally. What do you think that he was whimpering? He died like a dog in a tunnel.
Starting point is 00:41:05 A coward. He's making fun of dogs. No, he's not. Oh, my gosh. Jeez. He's sowing the seeds of doubt. And I love the fact that the press was like, well, we went to the Pentagon to find out if there was any footage of that. He didn't crying.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Now the latest is Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel came out on Monday and the White House is now asking for an apology. Well, he just flat out lied. Lied. Made it up. Yeah, he said, basically he said the president was out golfing and he wasn't even there. He wasn't even there. And they didn't tell him because they were afraid that he was going to tweet about it.
Starting point is 00:41:46 No, Jimmy. No, he was there. He was there. He actually went as far as to say as that those pictures of President Trump watching it, that that was a photo op. That was a set up photo taken later. Wow. They didn't say anything about Barack Obama literally, verifiably,
Starting point is 00:42:08 going upstairs and playing cards with an intern because he couldn't watch what was going on when they were killing Osama bin Laden. He would come down from time to time, and then he'd be like, oh, I can't watch this. And so he would go upstairs and play cards. Yeah, with his basketball buddy. Yeah, was it basketball buddy? Yeah. I know it was somebody that was like, you went up and played cards.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Your troops are on the line and you're playing cards because you're such a girl. And I, no offense to 12-year-old girls, because most 12-year-old girls could handle what they were seeing in the same. situation room. So I don't mean 12-year-old girls, maybe 8-year-old girls. Because after all, isn't that the little pink bike and the helmet that he... Gosh, she was such an embarrassing.
