Starting point is 00:00:02 I mean, what trial? What trial? You have to file the articles of impeachment. What trial? Such a bizarre set of positions, too, because the whole reason they didn't ask people like John Bolton, right, to come and testify for the House was because they said it was going to take too long to go through the courts. Well, you have all this time here, right?
Starting point is 00:00:26 You're just doing nothing. Maybe you could use this time for it to go through the courts. Unbelievable. really just truly unbelievable. Does anybody else feel like this whole impeachment thing is just thing of the past? Nothing's going to happen now. This idea that Nancy Pelosi is some brilliant strategist
Starting point is 00:00:44 has gone down the tubes, I think. Because there's always been this case by the media that like, yeah, sure, her speeches are a little weird and she sees terrible in front of the camera but behind the scenes. She knows exactly what she's doing. This is what she thought was a good idea. Like go through two years of saying,
Starting point is 00:01:01 you're not going to impeach, then turn on a dime over a phone call, impeach the guy, and then not send it to the Senate? That was the big plan? It's crazy. It's working well. It's really, really crazy. All right, we've got a pretty great show, and we start with Iran in just a minute.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You know, I was not a fan of the statement that President Trump made that the American press is an enemy of the people. However, today I'd say, I don't think. he went far enough. And I'll explain as we go to Iran with ABC News in one minute. This is the Glimbeck program. George lives in Ohio. He's the type of architect who likes to draw everything with a pencil still. And not only that, he likes to get out there and work with his hands, turning his ideas into reality. Recently, while restoring an old farmhouse, he realized the pain he had been dealing
Starting point is 00:02:23 with over the years had finally gotten to the point where he wasn't able to do the physical part any longer and he was not really able to start using his hands and be in comfort while sketching things out with his pencil. He's one of those people who don't like to take drugs for pain, so he was in a real bind. Thankfully, George listens to this program and he discovered relief factor, which is drug-free. It worked remarkably well. George is back to building the things that he sees in his imagination. He always has a pencil in his shirt pocket, and it's because of Relief Factor.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Relief Factor reduces inflammation, a major source for most pain, and it works for 70% of those who take it. For only 1995, you can get a three-week quick start. That's a small risk for the potential of a lifetime with less pain. If you want drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to ReliefFactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com. Well, it is a good thing. We have the media on the case to show us what's really happening in Iran. Martha Raditz, she's an ABC news reporter. She was in Iran. And she had just great coverage of what was really going on.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Let's listen in. A powerful combination of grief and anger with shout. of death to America echoing through the streets around us. This morning mourners filling the streets of Iran's capital of Tehran for the funeral of General Soleimani killed by that U.S. drone strike last week. Aerial images capturing the sea of Iranians, hacking the streets to pay tribute to a man revered by many here. Trump made a big mistake.
Starting point is 00:04:23 He killed our hero. Soleimani's image everywhere, the impact of his death profound. The crowds are massive and emotional. There are many tears here, many signs with Soleimani's picture on them, but the message is also very clear. These people want revenge. Army, human outlands? As we made our way through the streets of Tehran, people surrounding us shouting death
Starting point is 00:04:50 to America. We will have very hard revenge of Mr. Trump. Inside the funeral service, the emotion just as powerful. The Supreme Leader of Iran weeping and preying over a coffin draped in the Iraqi flag. Man, I feel bad about this. Okay, let's just play a personal game. Let's say, let's go in a time tunnel, and let's say this is 1941, 42. And the United States kills Himmler or Gehring.
Starting point is 00:05:24 and the news goes to Germany. What do you expect to find? What would you expect to find? I would expect, perhaps, many, many people mourning the death of their hero. And calling for the death of America. Yeah. Okay. Now, Soleimani, I mean, Gering?
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah. Himmler? Yeah. Uh-huh. I mean, I could look at Himmler and I could, well, let's just go to. Let's go to Himmler. Heinrich Lutpold Himmler. Lutpold.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's a solid middle name. It's a solid. Yeah, it is. Okay, he was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany. Okay. Main architect of the final solution. Well, this guy's the main architect of the destruction of Israel and the destruction of all Jews.
Starting point is 00:06:21 So it's kind of the same thing. a member of the reserve battalion during World War I. He didn't see active service, blah, blah, blah. But then he developed the SS. What is that? Stormtroopers. What do you think that is? I mean, he's Himmler.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Now, would we be mourning the death of Himmler? Would we expect to see Hitler weeping over the coffin? Of course we would. Would we expect Hitler to be saying, oh my gosh, this is a, this is a travesty? This is, this is absolutely wrong. The question is, would the American press play along with it? Or would they have the guts to say what was really going on? Well, let me answer that question for you.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Christian Science Monitor. The train arrived punctually. Not long after Adolf Hitler's rise in power and traffic was well regulated. Germany has policemen in new smart blue uniforms that keep order. I have so far found quietness, order, and civility. They're not the slightest sign of anything unusual afoot. Christian Science Monitor. As for the harrowing stories of Jews being mistreated,
Starting point is 00:07:45 they seem to only apply to a small portion of the Jews. but most of which were not in any way molested. Let's see. Let's go to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. There have been indications of moderation on Hitler's part. The Cleveland Press on January 31st to 33 said, appointment of Hitler as the German Chancellor may not be such a threat to world peace as it appears at first blush,
Starting point is 00:08:16 because there's a new moderation in Hitler on his rise, to power. The New York Evening Post, they report that there is an indeterminate number of Jews that have been killed. Hundreds of Jews have been beaten and tortured. Thousands of Jews have been or will be deprived of their livelihood, all because of
Starting point is 00:08:35 Germany's 600,000 Jews that are now living in terror. There's one that's telling the truth. Yeah, but the New York Times said German violence has been spent. Prosperity and happy is soon going to prevail.
Starting point is 00:08:51 The New York Herald Tribune's Berlin correspondent asserted that while situation of German jury was an unhappy one, the atrocity stories are exaggerated and unfounded. The American press did exactly the same thing with Nazi Germany. They listened to the propaganda because they listen with their American ears. Now, that's not what's happening today. They're not listening with their American ears. They're listening with their ears that hate Donald Trump. Donald Trump said that the press is an enemy of the people.
Starting point is 00:09:31 And I didn't like that because I don't like anything that smacks of going against the First Amendment. I just don't like it. However, today, I don't think he would. went far enough. Let's look what the American press is for. The American press, many of them, up until the very end, were for Hitler. They were for Mussolini. They were for Stalin. They were for the Russian Revolution. They were against America with the Soviet Union. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I remember hearing from the press how great the Soviet Union really was, how it was Ronald Reagan, who was the real warmonger and was going to get us all killed.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Gee, something else happened. I've heard from this press how great Chavez is. I've heard from this press, Castro was a hero to his people. I've heard that about, Ahmadinejad? I've heard all of the bad things that we did to Iran that yeah, we did. We put the Shah in and we helped him stay. Should we be involved in other people's countries? No, but wait a minute. Then why is it you have such a hard time? Because that's what they would say. We did all these horrible things all around the world. I agree with you. We should butt out of other people's However, why won't you look into what Caramella and everybody else involved in the Trump phone call are actually doing in the State Department? Why won't you talk about how the Arab Spring was pretty much run from our Oval Office?
Starting point is 00:11:36 How come you didn't have a problem with what happened in Libya? the only time you seem to be for anything is when it means big oppressive government doing something to the people or to the people of a foreign country because your leader is there. I don't think Americans feel this way. I think Americans, I hope.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I don't even know who America is anymore right now. I know who a good portion are that are silent, but I think a good number of silent Americans who better not be silent much longer, they feel like, for instance, we got to get out of Iraq. We got to get out of Iraq. Let's stop this war. I think most Americans feel that way. Now I'd like to throw a wrinkle in that. You cannot get out of Iraq today. You can't. Why? Because what did Ronald Reagan do? Because he listened to the State Department buffoons.
Starting point is 00:12:49 What did he do when the marine barracks in Beirut were bombed? He was told you'll make things much, much worse. So just pull out, just get out of there. Well, what did that do? We now know that Osama bin Laden saw that and went, whoa, you can make this giant move. if we move out of Iraq today, six months, eight months a year from now, maybe different, but if we move out of Iraq, because there's nothing more I want, you've got to get out of Iraq,
Starting point is 00:13:25 don't tempt us to do the things that we want to do, because I'd like to get out of Iraq. You know, if the Iraqi people decide, oh, America's a problem, fine, you won't see us in your neighborhood again. That's my feeling. Bye-bye. Too much blood, too much treasure, and you don't want freedom. So go ahead. However, what we're talking about today is teaching the Middle East and especially Iran that they can move us. We've already taught them that they can take our embassy. They did it in 1979 until Reagan was sworn in. then they did it in Benghazi. The guy we killed is responsible for Benghazi.
Starting point is 00:14:18 That was his plan. You didn't know about it. Why? Because the press never reported it. They just went with a big state guy that they just love. And the big state woman, Hillary Clinton, who they just love. Then they attack our embassy in Iraq? What are we supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Just take it? they have somebody a Himmler or a Gering who is planning on killing our troops and is a record, a long record of killing our troops beyond the misery and the torture that he has provided all over the Middle East and our press mourns our press gets there right away to cover this funeral
Starting point is 00:15:11 as they should cover the funeral. Let me ask you this. Martha, are you a strong woman? You believe in equal women's rights and you believe in all of that and and you believe that you can do anything. Girl power. I bet you do. Then why are you wearing your headscarf?
Starting point is 00:15:33 You know you're in a group of people. If your headscarf blows off, they kill you. Because you're not really fully a person. You're just a woman. and you're making excuses for these people, you're not an enemy of the American people. You are an enemy of anyone who stands up for freedom. You should cover that.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And I'd even give you a break if you were covering it just without any kind of commentary on it. You were just covering it as long as ABC News was saying beforehand, And we had to make special deals to get in here so we could cover this and special deals so we could get her out afterwards. We'd understand. But you are an organ for evil. And that's all of the press.
Starting point is 00:16:33 You've done it before. This is nothing new. America, wake the hell up. I told you yesterday, reportedly, 267 million Facebook users had their name. names, Facebook IDs, and even phone numbers exposed in an online database. Well, that's just almost everybody in America on Facebook. What's the big deal? Cybercrime is a big thing.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And maybe, you know, you didn't even blink when I gave that insane number because you're used to hearing about how many people's, as their privacy, and their personal information violated. The question is, what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? You keep rolling the dice, hoping you're not one of the next few people that gets victimized. How are you going to stand up to these bullies and send them packing? God helps those who help themselves, and you can help yourself by getting LifeLock.

Starting point is 00:18:06 We break for 10 seconds and back to the program. Where was the press? Where was Martha Radditz and ABC News when millions of people all over the country were protesting their oppressive government. Where were they? They couldn't even, they didn't go there and cover that. And for good reason, you'd be killed if you were there covering it.
Starting point is 00:18:48 But where were they when it would, the cause was freedom? I have no doubt that millions of people in Iraq are religious zealots. And believe that the Islamic way of life is the way to go. Well, good for them. They're wrong when it comes to human rights. You want to do that yourself? You go do that yourself. But don't oppress anybody else as you're doing it.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And that's what this is. This is a state that oppresses people, kills people. Where were they when the Islamic regime, just last year, again was hanging people because they were gay. This is who you are standing up for. Now let me tell you what the real people in Iran feel. And I know this because I read from the dissidents, not today, but over the years.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Soleimani is a popular guy with the zealots. Yes, he is, because he's spreading. this ideology all around the world, and he's doing it with force, brutal force. So, yeah, there's a lot of hardliners that love this guy, millions of them perhaps. But the average person, just like the average person here in America, just wants to be left alone, just wants to have a better life, just wants to be able to pursue their dreams. They just want a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's what they want.
Starting point is 00:20:30 That's ingrained in all of us, because God. God gives it to all of us. And they see Soleimani as the guy who's taking the bread out of their children's mouths. Because he was getting a billion, with a B, a billion dollars a month to do what? To go foment foreign wars, to foment terror all around the Middle East. And the average person is looking to their government and, saying you're spending a billion dollars? Do you know that it cost me 70% more now this month to be able to buy bread for my children? We could use some of that money, just like we say,
Starting point is 00:21:15 but it's not nearly as bad. Just like we say, hey, can we stop with these foreign wars? We've got things we have to fix here. Imagine if bread and milk cost you 70% more today than it did just a few weeks ago. Do you think we'd all be up? And even the greatest hero in our war machine, we would be like, look, dude, stop it. Stop. That's what's, that's the reality on the streets. And it is also the reality that millions of people were to, even those who were part of the 79 revolution, do not want the Ayatollahs running their life anymore. They don't want the religious police squads. How can the press say anything about me and my religion or you and your religion and any of our churches when this is going on?
Starting point is 00:22:15 See, the press doesn't have perspective. That's the problem. They've lost all perspective. because in their arrogance, they think that they are right. They think that they are smarter than everybody else. And they think that anyone who disagrees with them on anything is a moron. You couple that arrogance and that belief with the hatred for Donald Trump and you have a press that you can't trust anything that comes out of their mouth.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Oh, I mean, unless it's Brian Stelter, I mean, because he is just, I mean, He's a reliable source. You're listening to Glenn.

Starting point is 00:24:47 Of course it was, you know, we're just having a conversation off. the air about the letter that was released yesterday that says yeah United States pulling out we're pulling out of Iraq whoever released that should be fired and in my personal opinion after we look at the facts if the facts show that it was something other than oops I just hit send uh you know and I I really meant to hit delete or whatever this person should uh pay a heavier than just being fired. This is something that has international ramifications. Yeah, and the way he explained it was somebody sent it over to Iraqi military guys,
Starting point is 00:25:32 and they think that those guys may have been the ones who got it to the press. Although, why would we send it to Iraqi military guys? Here's the quote. It was sent over to some Iraqi military guys in order to get things coordinated for air movement, etc. then it went from that guy's hands to another guy's hands and then it went into your hands and now it's a kerfuffle. So this operation. Is this Dr. Seuss writing this?
Starting point is 00:25:58 Who's writing this? You know him? Because yeah, it was Dr. Susset. Yeah. You don't hear the word curfuffle from a lot of military guys. No, you don't. No. This was from chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Millie.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Clarified to reporters that it was a mistake. Was it after like 5 o'clock? Was he phoning this in from a bar? It's 5 o'clock somewhere. That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. I mean, it seems like what they're trying to say is, A, they're trying to downplay it as you'd expect the military to do. And look, it was a mistake. People make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And that is true, technically. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It just seems like that's kind of a bad one. And again, like, you know, it might be seeing that it plays right into the hands of our enemies. I mean, that's, again, just go to the World War II comparison because I think we can compare this guy. to Himmler or to Gehring. Certainly in scope, it's what he desires, right?
Starting point is 00:26:52 He hasn't actually gone through with the Holocaust, thankfully, but he certainly seems to desire it and has made public statements in that direction. With what we knew at the time. Don't look at it from, look at it from 1941, 1942. We didn't know that Himmler was doing that. And I was saying in 1941,
Starting point is 00:27:11 we didn't know that Himmler had drilled holes through the legs of children to torture them. Correct. We didn't know that. We have photos of it. We have people who work on the staff who were there. Yeah. And saw and met the child.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Yeah. Who's still alive, although the mother is not alive anymore. Mother, the father still is. And we explained in detail exactly what happened to them. This is, this is not a guy. Like, that's what's so weird about this one. You can understand, like, you can make a legitimate point that you are worried about the way this might
Starting point is 00:27:47 spiral out of control. I don't think that's where this is going to go, but you can make that point and be legitimate about your concerns of what happens in the future and you don't want these things to escalate and all that's fine. But to just act as if this guy is a person who's a genius and should be respected
Starting point is 00:28:03 and you can understand why the Iranians love him so much, that is not the appropriate level of coverage for a person who has taken little boys and girls and taken a drill to them and drilled holes through their bodies. This is what this man has done.
Starting point is 00:28:19 And that doesn't even include the American troops he's killed. So here's the thing. If somebody, if we would have killed Himmler or Gehring in 1942, and all of a sudden, the war department at the time, released a statement to Italians. And this statement, got out into the press that we were thinking about
Starting point is 00:28:48 leaving the war. We were just going to, you know what? We're just going to get out of France and England and that's just the way it is. What do you think Roosevelt would have done? What do you think would have happened to that person
Starting point is 00:29:03 that released that document? Do you think he would have gone, oops, mistake? Probably not. This has dramatic. Yeah. implications. Can we, can we get a handle? What does top secret mean anymore? What does a security clearance mean anymore if we have everybody's like, oh, I don't know. I was just email any
Starting point is 00:29:29 top secret documents to her basement at home. We're releasing top secret documents. I, I have a better record of keeping secrets and I'm horrible at it. Oh, yeah, terrible. Is it one of those, I mean, is it even appropriate to write the letter at all? Like, the letter basically says, like, we're going to be pulling out and we're going to be, you know, we're going to need some time. We're going to need to, you know, some extra clearance for helicopters to pick up troops and all these things. And when was it written? It was written after this vote, apparently, because it references the vote. Hey, you guys want us out, so we're going to go.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So their point is like, well, we need to get prepared because if Trump comes to us and says we're out, we need to be. I agree with that. It's fine to prepare for it, but do you need to prepare the letter unless you get the order? If you get the order to pull out, okay, yes, prepare the letter, prepare everything. If you don't get the order, it's appropriate to think about, okay, these troops are going to have to go here. You need to plan in advance if you're in the military, clearly. Do you need to write a draft letter and send it over to the Iraqi military? No.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I can't even think of why. I don't have a problem with them writing a letter, but it going to anyone, going to anyone other than the superior of the person who wrote makes no different. What are you doing? Even right. I mean, a letter is the last thing you'd, like, it's just like, okay, we've got all of it planned. Let's let them know what we're doing. That's not something you need something to write in advance.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Because you're thinking about this as one person, not a huge military operation where everybody has their specific role to play. There's somebody whose specific role is just to write that letter when it gets down to it. So if you're in a meeting and you're hearing that, okay, there's a possibility that we're going to be pulling out. You could just do that so you're not the one that everybody's waiting for. You call that person when the order comes in and you say, hey, write the letter. Dopey, write it.
Starting point is 00:31:22 By the way, don't just send it to the media. Here's the letter. I think this person should be fired at best. I mean, I don't know. They may have been told to send this letter over there. Then that person should be fired. Whatever it is, yeah. It says, sir, this is to your excellency in case you were wondering who was to.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It's to your excellency. Now, is this the president of Iraq or the prime minister? of Iraq who's really not the prime minister? It's Abdul Amir, Deputy Director of Combined Joint Forces of Baghdad. It's the Iraq Ministry of Defense. All right. Your excellency.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Sir, in due deference to the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister, we will repositioning forces over the course of coming days and weeks to prepare for onward movement. In order to conduct this task, coalition forces are required
Starting point is 00:32:14 to take certain measures to ensure that the movement out of Iraq is conducted in a safe and efficient manner. During this time, there will be an increase in helicopter travel in and around the international zone of Baghdad. Increased traffic will include various helicopters. Coalition forces will take appropriate measures to minimize and mitigate the disturbance to the public. In addition, we will conduct these operations during hours of darkness to help alleviate any perception that we may be bringing more coalition forces into the international zone. As we begin implementing the next phase of operations, I want to, to reiterate the value of our friendship and partnership.
Starting point is 00:32:47 We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure. Okay. Very respectful. William Sealy. That is wonderful, William. And I think that's wonderful that you had that letter written and sent out. I think whoever gave the order to send that out should be fired. At best, what this seems, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:14 The old joke is, I'm not paranoid. People are following me, okay? But that joke is not really a joke anymore when it comes to our government. I don't think that there's a deep state. I mean, I'm not crazy. It's just that there really is a deep state. I don't know if this guy is, is he friends with anybody in the State Department? Is he friends with anybody in the Intel that's part of this?
Starting point is 00:33:44 I understand. I understand that that's probably not it and not where we need to go, but I have to tell you, you have to start thinking that way if you're in the government, because there are players. Why would you do this? Oh, it's just a mistake. Really, how come every mistake that the State Department and the military are making seem to fall in line exactly with what the press would love? there's never a mistake there
Starting point is 00:34:15 where's the mistake that falls into the favor of Donald Trump ever Well this particular thing though Right is Trump has said he wants to get out of Iraq Right I mean he's also recently in the last couple days said he wouldn't go unless They paid for the military base But I mean I don't think this is something that's against Trump's generalized agenda Right he wants to leave
Starting point is 00:34:37 And I you know I mean I don't think you lose a lot of wagers betting on just government incompetence it's possible that they just shouldn't have sent this and sent it. I don't necessarily think there's anything bigger than that, other than it's just pathetic. I mean, we should understand that if you want these people... This happened during the Vietnam War? Oh, yeah, because the government was super competent during the Vietnam War. I know that.
Starting point is 00:34:57 But did it happen? Then they weren't competent at all. Did it happen? Did we have these letters that were going out that were, you know, oops, we didn't mean to send that out? Well, I mean, I don't know if the specific exact thing happened, but certainly things a lot worse. it happened.
Starting point is 00:35:14 You know, is it possible that they, you know, someone sent a letter to someone they believed they had a good relationship, a trusting relationship in the Iraqi military, and they, you know, we got leaked to the press. I mean, I think that's totally possible. It's just, it doesn't make much sense as to why. And I guess you can look back at this and say, it's not that big of a deal, right? We're not leaving. We haven't made a decision to leave.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And, you know, what would be the motivation they're trying to push that? along and hope that it creates the momentum to leave maybe. I mean, it's possible. But again, Donald Trump is the guy making that decision. And he doesn't seem all that influenced by pressure from the outside. He seems to kind of just do what he wants to do. So, I mean, at some point, Trump will decide he wants to leave there, I think. I mean, he said that a bunch of times if he can. So here's what you have to take into account on the damage that this things like this can do.
Starting point is 00:36:11 when I was in the Oval with George Bush he said to me because he was amazing he was amazing he was so he was so eloquent he had a grasp of all of the facts he was terrifying and also you I remember you being blown away
Starting point is 00:36:27 by how well spoken he was which was not his public persona as well you know I and we're gonna you know toothbrush yeah and you're like what the hell is wrong with this guy that long for toothbrush right And so I said to him, after about 20 minutes of him just going off and rattling off facts, I said, no offense, Mr. President, but where is this guy?
Starting point is 00:36:54 He might have taken offense to that. But where is this guy? And he looked at me, you know, quite sternly and said, do you know how many things I'm juggling at the same time? Do you know how many things I have to be careful of? I say one wrong word and it sends a signal to the Chinese or it sends a signal to our enemies or it sends a signal to our allies. Just one shift of eyes. They're analyzing everything the president does and says, well, that's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:37:27 We now have the Pentagon sending out a letter saying we're leaving. You don't think that, you remember, the Russians thought Tom Clancy. was a CIA operative trying to tell the Russians exactly what we would do. So they would think we would do that, but we do the opposite. I mean, the war gaming that goes on, you don't release a document like this. You cannot make these mistakes. No, I don't care what the excuse was. I'd like to know what the excuse was.
Starting point is 00:38:03 But the president, it was a kerfuffle. Yeah. The president should demand. the resignation or fire. So we're not paying for that person's retirement. Fire that person that did that. The kerfuffle? You want a kerfuffle firing?
Starting point is 00:38:22 I do. A curfiling? Did you see how much, do you see how much gold is up? Gold is up now. I think the highest it's been since 2013. And it's all because of this. Really?
Starting point is 00:38:38 I have not seen that. As soon as this started happening, gold prices went up because... Almost 1,600, it looks like. Yeah, and the price of gold hasn't been that high for a long, long time, three, four years. Right now, I want to talk to you a little bit about something that Goldline is doing. Their new 1880 gold, five and a half liberties are extremely popular diversification and a protection tool. These are things, these are the kinds of things that I buy. And I know you'll pay a higher price because it's an 1880s coin.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Talk to Goldline, find out why I buy them that way. I'm a collector of old coins that's different when everybody comes and says, Hey, you can't have gold. No, I'm a collector. I'm a coin collector. Find out all about it. But anyway, these coins were designed to be used as money. And for 140-year-old coins, they're in excellent condition.

Starting point is 00:40:47 he is the guy who the national socialist party of Germany the Nazis eventually their anthem became about him it's this little anthem
Starting point is 00:41:03 that they made and this is all about how this guy died and he was a hero of the Republic. Well, he wasn't a hero. He was a propaganda tool. He was fighting against the communists as a brown shirt. He would go beat up communists. Well, the communists didn't like it, and so they marked him for death. But he stayed in this apartment, and he got into the argument with a landlady, and she told her communist friends, and then they killed him.
Starting point is 00:41:40 He was propagandized and made into a hero. Can our press stop making their new hero in Iran into a hero around the rest of the world? He wasn't a hero. He was a killer. Back in a minute. And it only takes us 100 million years to get there to find out if that water is still there. Nothing. You know?
Starting point is 00:42:22 Okay. Thanks a lot. All right. Let me tell you about relief factor. In America, 50 million people miss work due to pain. These Americans will spend $2,000 every year to combat that pain and 66% to expect to live the rest of their life in pain. I was one of those people, and I'm not in the pain that I used to be.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I mean, it used to be crippling to me. It's not now. Relief factor has relieved me of so much of my pain, and it will do the same for you. Just call them. 800, 500,883-84, 800, 584, click on Relieffactor.com. Now, it costs 1995 for a three-week quick start.
Starting point is 00:43:07 So you just take it as directed for three weeks. If the pain is not affected, stop taking it. But 70% of the people who take it, notice these results and go on to order month after month after month. I'm one of them. Relief factor. Get out of pain now. Relieffactor.

Starting point is 00:43:41 really good stuff coming up. Tonight at 5 o'clock we have a U.S. ambassador who is over in Berlin who was holding a or hosting a get together with Iraqi dissidents.
Starting point is 00:43:58 And he's really upset at the way that we are dealing with Soleimani in the press. He'll be on with us at 5 o'clock on plays TV. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. Hunter Biden is in court today. Well, actually, no. He can't show up because he's busy, I guess. But he's told the court he doesn't have a job.
Starting point is 00:44:34 So maybe he's at the unemployment office today. But this is going to be big news tomorrow with what happens in court today. We'll tell you about that. Also, restoring the covenant. We have more on Iraq, Iran, what's happening with the White House, the press, and Great Britain's first female astronaut. Who knew they even had astronauts? Great Britain has an astronaut, and she has come out and said, oh, the aliens are here, and they're living among us. all this and more in one minute.
Starting point is 00:45:14 This is the Glenn Beck program. You know how every month you pay your phone bill and you have to practically saw off an arm or a leg and mail it to the phone company? Well, what you may not know is in that bill are all kinds of hidden fees. And those hidden fees all go to something like abortion or open borders.
Starting point is 00:45:39 AT&T and Verizon donate millions of dollars to left-wing causes. So every time that you pay your phone bill, you're actually helping Planned Parenthood. Now, how do you feel? Now, here's another thing you might not know. All the carriers in the country use the same for towers. Now, what does that mean? That means you could be using Patriot Mobile, the only company that donates a portion of the bill, to support conservative causes, religious liberty, life, the Second Amendment. They, use the same towers, so you're going to get the same great service. Plus, plans start at $25 a month with unlimited talk and text. So go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck. They take some of their
Starting point is 00:46:26 profits and they send them out to causes that you agree with, not the things that you're fighting against every day. Switch.

Patriot-Mobile. dot com slash back welcome to the program we're really glad that you're here uh i don't think there's a reason i don't watch the news anymore i don't watch the news anymore because they don't
Starting point is 00:47:38 have anything to tell me that is true do you do you do what do you get from the news other than just frustrated and pissed off well lots of material to criticize the next day yes yes yes yes i mean look you know that is the problem it's not even that they never give you anything. It's just that you don't know what to trust. So much of it is just flavored, you know, so dramatically with with opinion and propaganda and spin. I mean, what would you call their coverage now of impeachment? They were all in for impeachment. They couldn't go to the courts to get anything done because this had to be done right away. Now they voted on impeachment, but Nancy Pelosi won't turn the impeachment over to
Starting point is 00:48:23 the Senate so they can finish the job. They don't seem to be minding this. There's no real criticism of it. No. I mean, it is bizarre to hold both of those viewpoints, as you point out. I mean, the John Bolton thing came out yesterday where Bolton said, if asked, if subpoenaed in the Senate trial, he would testify. And Bolton was one of the main guys. They wanted to get to testify in the House. And they could have, they could have subpoenaed him. And then he would have taken it to the Supreme Court because rightfully so, one branch cannot force the other branch to do something. So it should have gone to the Supreme Court. But they were in such a hurry. This has got to be done right now. We'll work this out when we get to the Senate. Well, now they're talking about making sure that John
Starting point is 00:49:07 Bolton is heard. Well, you can't do anything until you file the impeachment with the Senate. And there is one thing that they can do, which is the House has all the power still to this moment to call John Bolton to testify in the House. They could still have him do it. And would Bolton say yes to that? I mean, he indicated it. He's talking about the Senate. But I mean, if he's willing to testify, if he's subpoenaed, you'd assume he'd go to the House. They're all complaining about what the Senate's doing when they could still do that if they really wanted to. I mean, it's so obvious this is a game. And, you know, I think we acknowledge that all the time. You know, Republicans play games too. We know that. But what Democrats are doing here is considerably
Starting point is 00:49:50 more, I think, offensive, and what makes it worse, at least to me, is the fact that the press automatically auto adopts what the left-wing narrative is as credible. You know, that is the automatic, that's the default position. So there is so much to push back against, why bother getting it from these sources? What's the point? When they will not, even when it's obvious, will not tell you, the truth is. The Washington Post has blasted CNN for its track record on the infamous anti-Trump dossier following last month's release of the Justice Department Watchdogs report on the foundation
Starting point is 00:50:32 of the Russia investigation, demanding the network CNN. This is the Washington Post, demanding the network come clean on its faulty reporting. This is the latest and ongoing series tackling the media's handling of the dossier, Washington Post media critic Eric Wempley, took aim at the anti-Trump network on Monday, this is a blaze story, I believe, for continuing to stand by its past reporting on the salacious document that was used in the highly controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,
Starting point is 00:51:07 FISA application, blah, blah, blah. Wempley singled out CNN, their anchor, Allison Camerata, who claimed December 2017 that the Intel community has cooperated, all of the details of the dossier compiled by the British ex-spy Christopher Steele. This is the Washington Post, the Washington Post, trying to throw CNN under the bus now saying, what happened to your reporting?
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah, I mean, it's been embarrassing. I mean, you go back and listen to, we had a montage a couple weeks ago of the coverage of the dossier, and Allison Camerada in particular comes off looking terrible. I mean, you know, there were things in the dossier that were accurate. The problem was that they were publicly available. You know, there was nothing dramatic. They didn't break any news.
Starting point is 00:52:00 And all of the things that were not publicly available, as reported by in detail in the IG report, showed that those things were just made up. In fact, they even talked to the sources. The sources of the claims who didn't even try to say that they were accurate. Oh, we were joking. oh, this was hyperbole. These weren't things that were credible at any given moment. And to go on the air and to essentially what Camerata did in that one clip you just mentioned
Starting point is 00:52:27 is cite some level of knowledge that you can't have. I'm an anchor. And I know these things are true. You have to just understand that I know that they're true. They've said them. They've said them to us. We've reporting that indicates these things are all confirmed. they wouldn't be reporting them if they weren't confirmed.
Starting point is 00:52:50 And to now know that none of that was true, there's never a moment where they have to go back and say, wait a minute, guys. Like, I understand that we think Donald Trump's a bad guy and a bad president. What is this, though? Why would you say that? You can even report the stuff that's in the dossier and say that it's unproven. But to go ahead and say that it's all confirmed is not just a minor mistake. It's a massive journalistic failure by dozens of people, many of them on CNN.
Starting point is 00:53:23 That's inexcusable. I mean, it was systemic. If you cared about the truth, but I don't think that they care about the truth. ABC, as we talked about last hour, has their reporter in the, you know, in the Islamic scarf so she's not killed or raped in this crowd, what kind of deal did ABC have to make to get her to be able to get into Iran, cover the funeral, and leave Iran? What kind of deals did they have to make? But she was there just to report the one side,
Starting point is 00:54:00 and the one side is that there were millions of people on the streets saying Soleimani was the greatest guy ever. Whatever. What about ABC's coverage of the millions on the streets that were risking their lives standing up against Soleimani and his coulds force and the restrictions that the Ayatollah puts on the average Iranian. Where was the ABC reporter on the streets talking about, hey, I've got to wear this head scarf, otherwise they'll kill me and rape me because I'm not fully human because I'm a woman.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Where is that reporting? As we said last hour, the press has become not an enemy of the people of America, an enemy to freedom. I challenge you to show me the time when they are really being the champion of truth on both sides. A consistent truth. We got to stand up to power. Well, you didn't when power was being abused by, Barack Obama. You now call that the purest administration ever that had zero scandals. Are you kidding me? Abusing the power of the IRS. You didn't care. Going after the phone
Starting point is 00:55:33 records and tapping journalists' lines. You care about Donald Trump, but you didn't care about Barack Obama. You say you care about women's rights and homosexual rights, but you really don't. Because where are you when it comes to Russia? You only care about Russia now because Russia is somehow or another working and colluding with Donald Trump. And so you have to be the enemy of Russia now. But you were for Russia and Putin. You wanted a new open door with Putin. You never said boo about how bad Putin was until Trump got in.
Starting point is 00:56:22 You wouldn't pay attention to the warnings that we gave you for two years leading up to the 18 election. Two years you paid no attention. Only when it became about Donald Trump, did you care? Pulling out of Iraq, that's all you could talk about, all you could talk about under George W. Bush. Barack Obama promised he was going to do it. He never did. You didn't say anything about the lives lost. There was no daily accounting of how many lives were being lost in Iraq.
Starting point is 00:57:02 There was no talk about Iraq. You were cheering on this administration's policies of destabilizing the entire Middle East while you threw George Bush under the bus for destabilizing the Middle East. I mean, think about this, the daily today, the podcast that you've listened to him before Glennon mentioned a couple times. Big podcast from the New York Times. This is their tweet promoting their episode today. Quote, knowing General Soleimani was out there made me feel safer, said a student about the commander killed in the American drone strike. He was like a security umbrella above our country.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Listen to today's episode. Oh, that's a good, good balance to take, I think, on the story. Soleimani life, life and times. That's basically the obituary, a security umbrella above Iran. Making it feel safer. I mean, I don't know what the hell that government is telling the people. Obviously, they're lying to them constantly. But, I mean, is that the appropriate level of coverage of this person who, again, was
Starting point is 00:58:13 torturing children as if it was his, like, you know, favorite thing to do? It was a hobby for the guy. Torturing children, murdering people, murdering U.S. soldiers. But let's talk about the security umbrella he was for Iran. It's very important. They claim that they are for the people and they are for rights. But they are not. They are not for rights.
Starting point is 00:58:38 They do not care about the rights of women. If they did, they would be consistent on their coverage of the Middle East. But they're not. They say that they care about gay rights. They don't. They execute people for being gay in Iran. Remember when Ahmadinejad came and gave his speech at Columbia and he said, we don't have any gays.
Starting point is 00:59:02 We don't have any gays in Iran. And everybody just kind of laughed that off. No, you know why they don't have any gays? Because they kill them. And whoever else left is afraid to say it, obviously, because everybody else they know was killed. So what is our American press really for? Well, we just wanted to make sure we covered, well, that's not journalism. Just covering what the other side says?
Starting point is 00:59:32 Well, how come you don't do that with Americans who love their country, who believe in the Constitution? You editorialize all the time about them. You'll cover them, but you'll call them extreme right-wing zealots because they believe in the Constitution. So you don't just cover, you don't cover Americans who have a different opinion fairly balanced. And quite frankly, you're not doing that in Iran. You are becoming a propaganda arm for a government we know is evil.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Last year, I tried to swear off the word evil and not use it, you know, for everything. This is evil. If you can't admit what the government of Iran is to its own people, let alone the rest of the world, as being evil, what is your definition of that word? Well, they say you should never talk about religion or politics, but like 900 steps down on the scale of desirable conversations is ED. But with Roman, it is easy to talk about it with a real doctor who can prescribe

Station ID. So have you heard about, have you heard about, was it NASA that says they found a, what they believe is a habitable planet? Yeah, Earth 2.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Yeah, Earth 2. It's a hundred million miles away. but they light years away. They think that it, you know, it might have water. We'd have to send a probe out to find out if it was what we think it is. But it was, it's the right distance from the sun. It's, you know, has everything it needs to have water and air and everything else. Well, yeah, but that was a hundred million light years ago.
Starting point is 01:02:25 That's what that planet looked like. Go back in our planet's history, 100 million light years. Because that's what we're seeing. It's taking 100 million light years for that image of that planet to come to us. They might have elected their Donald Trump 100 million years ago.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Not light years, just 100 million years ago. And he probably blew up the whole planet. It might not even be there anymore. It's like you take you driving across the country to Disney World about halfway there. You realize it's closed. Yeah. That could be the possibility here.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Yeah. Not only is it closed, is it closed? It's been sucked into a star. They should have told us this on the travel agent. I'm getting a new one. I mean, until we can do hyperspace, there's really no reason to look for another home. Mars. Okay, Mars.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Yeah, maybe that's doable. That's three years. And we can see what's happening. I think it, what is it, 18 minutes for sound to come from Mars to here. So, you know, it's at least, we'll at least hear it go boom, 18 minutes into our flight. You know, that's not too far. We're just like, you know what? Let's turn around.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Yeah, we still got enough gas. Let's turn around. We got that one. Yeah, I feel like you're right. I think if you're going to go with replacing it, 100 million light years, maybe a tad too far. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Maybe. Now, the, the astronaut and who knew they even had. had one, and let alone a female astronaut. England, the first astronaut from England was a female. So she went up in space, I don't know, and I don't know, sometime a couple decades ago. Okay. And she came out and she said that aliens definitely exist and she thinks they may be living among us on Earth. Now.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Do you have any evidence to support this? No, no, no. No, no, no. But she says they're possibly here right now, but we just can't see them. Okay. Well, that's kind of true about everything. Possibly here, but we can't see it. I mean, that applies to...
Starting point is 01:04:47 God is with us, but we can't see them. It literally applies to every single thing. There might be giant tarantulas surrounding us, but we can't see them. So I don't know exactly what this would be, but, I mean, if they were here and they were fans of Star Trek, they wouldn't want to violate the prime directive, which is getting interference and, you know, but you're clearly smarter than us. If you're here, you're invisible and you went 100 million light years, you know, to hear. You're clearly a lot smarter than us.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Help us, please. Help us. Do something. What are you doing? Standing around with your hands in your pockets. Do something. You're listening to Glenn Beck. American Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334,
Starting point is 01:05:43 www.m.mLS, consumer access.org. Certainly don't want to assume that the aliens that are invisible in here have pockets. But if they do, they'd be responsible with whatever is in their pocket. One resolution you might want to think about is adding more money to your budget.

Starting point is 01:06:59 $10 off your subscription and you're going to help America. Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're here. We have something that we announced the day before I went on vacation, so a couple of days before Christmas, we only announced it that one day, and already this is half sold out. So we want you to really, if you have any interest in this at all, we have limited space this time. And so, and we can't go over it. So, you know, thousands of people will be able to come, but it is limited space. And if you want a chance to go, you've got to get your tickets right now. Now, they're free.
Starting point is 01:08:13 We are asking for a donation of $5 to reserve your place in line. You know, if you don't have $5, I guess you don't have to do that. It is a donation. We don't want you if you don't have $5. We don't want your kind. What we're doing is restoring the covenant. The Restoring the Covenant on July 4th, in Gettysburg. Now, we'll tell you more about what the covenant is. People, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:39 the number one question is, what is the American covenant? The American covenant is something that our pilgrims made on the Mayflower, when they came over, that we would be a shining city on the hill, and we would serve God, and we would be good to one another. And that lasted for a long time with the pilgrims. It's different than Jamestown, people who just came over here for gold. People who came over here and made a covenant with God, great things came from it. People who came to Jamestown that produced slavery and everything else. So the pilgrims made the covenant. George Washington made the covenant. Abraham Lincoln made the covenant. And I think a case could be made that Ronald Reagan made the covenant again. But that's a matter of opinion. So we're going to
Starting point is 01:09:28 restore the covenant because every time we do, we do. We seem to turn things around. And if you happen to be like me that you believe that things are so far gone, that really our biggest problem is we've forgotten why we were even here, and we have chased God out of the square. Join us restoring the covenant. It is a historic event at Gettysburg on July 4th. Now, if you just want to go and have a great family time and see
Starting point is 01:10:02 fireworks unlike you're going to see elsewhere. I am actually arranging the fireworks and I'm working with a composer to compose the music and the spoken word that you will see fireworks unlike any place else in America that night. You can join us for the 4th of July. Everything except parking will be free and just come in with your family, but you must be on a list. You have to be on a list because we just can't go over because of the problems that it will cause in Gettysburg. It's a small little town. But we have all of your hotels taken care of if you want to find a place in Gettysburg or in the area.
Starting point is 01:10:48 If you want to do it through us because we have packages that will last three days, one day or seven days. The ultimate VIP package, and I think there's only 200 tickets for this. They're pricey, but you'll understand why. It's a full, I think, seven days on the road with me and my family and with David Barton, his family, and with Tim Ballard from Operation OUR and the Nazarene Fund. And we start in Plymouth, Massachusetts the week before, and you will get a tour of Plymouth, and you'll meet with one of the greatest historians on the pilgrims. You'll stay, it's all-inclusive,
Starting point is 01:11:36 so you don't have to worry about food or anything else. On Monday that morning, you'll have breakfast with me and stew, and you'll watch the show. Then we get on to a private train, and we go to Boston. We have dinner that night and talk about what we're going to see in Boston, and then you go on this amazing tour with David Barton, all throughout colonial Boston. Then, you know, we get on the train again.
Starting point is 01:12:03 We do the same thing. You have breakfast. You have dinner with us. And then you watch the show. And then we'll go to New York. And you'll see where George Washington made the covenant. You get a history lesson there. Then we go to Philadelphia and we end up on Friday in Gettysburg at the old trade station,
Starting point is 01:12:23 which still stands where Abraham Lincoln came in. And I think we have a big dinner. there that night. And that might be Thursday. And then Friday, we have a Shabbat meal that Rabbi Lappin is going to be at and speaking at. And then we also have another celebrity that yet to be announced that is going to be hosting that.
Starting point is 01:12:49 This is all sounding very familiar. I watched the Fire Festival documentary. And this is exactly what it sounded like. Don't think that hasn't come to mind. Don't think that hasn't come to mind. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get there. Because we have tents. Okay. See? You're going to be tents. You're already doing it. There's going to be RVs. Are you going to have sandwiches that are just two pieces of white bread and one slice of cheese?
Starting point is 01:13:11 No. No. No. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. We have looked into the Fire Fest and went, it cannot be that. How many Victoria's Secret models are you promising? None. I'm promising none. Okay. Well, that's a good step. Yeah. So, but it is this is going to be, whether you go for one day and it's all free, or if you go for three days and do all the things in three days or the seven days, it's whatever you want. But it is something that you really need to be at. It is restoring the covenant. It's in Gettysburg, July 3rd, 4th and 5th. July 4th is the big event that you don't want to miss. Again, it's free, but you must.
Starting point is 01:13:57 have your name on a list. And we ask that you would go to glenbeck.com slash restore. Glennbeck.com slash restore. You'll find out all the details there. You put your name on the list. Someone will call you and verify, you know, that you are coming and that you, you know, what do you want and they'll help you whatever you need, whether it's just a parking pass or you need a hotel or you want to do the whole experience.
Starting point is 01:14:27 whatever it is, they'll help you do it. It's glenbeck.com slash restore a historic event in Gettysburg this coming July 4th, glenbeck.com slash restore. Can you also get there at glenbeck.com slash fire festival too? No. No, you can. No, you can. This is going to be fun.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Can I cover it like a journalist? I want to go there. I want to cover it like a critical journalist and see, you know, expose. all the things that go wrong, you know, take pictures of like long bathroom lines if there happen to be any. Yeah, you should. I want, I'm going to just bring white bread and cheese
Starting point is 01:15:06 and make the fake sandwiches and then just expose it and leak it to like the Daily Beast. Yeah, I think that would be totally fine, Stu. I mean, that way they don't actually have to show up to do things like that. You know, journalism's hard. You know, showing up to the places, being critical. I mean, if you're going to go all the way to Iran,
Starting point is 01:15:24 then you're going to say to your hosts, hey, I don't think you guys should have been murdering so many people. That's just rude, right? It's very rude. You just go there and say everyone's really sad and everyone's united. Right. And then you go to Gettysburg and you say how horrible these people are. I think they were fighting a giant terrorist attack.
Starting point is 01:15:41 These religious zealots that want to take the country into all kinds of religious zealot sorts of paths. We know that's happening. We're going to expose it. Yeah. I will say that I did read something from. somebody that was doing a reenactment. And they said that they were going to not do the reenactment this year because of this event. And so they were going to do it the next year.
Starting point is 01:16:10 But they said the people that generally attend my events or attend the expected they expect some sort of protest. I don't know what you would be protesting on the 4th of July, but said they generally don't like the Confederate flag. Now, when you're talking about the history of the country, Confederate flag has a place in the history of our country. Oh, sure. It's not a good place. Right, it's not a good place.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Read the Constitution of the Confederacy. So this guy was, I guess, saying that, He didn't want to do it because we would be against the Confederate flag. And not in a reenactment. No, it's a reenactment. It's just a reenactment. Why would we be against the – are you saying the Confederate flag is something that we should hold up in glory? Because history would say no.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Right, because, I mean, you know, you've made this point before, but it talks about – Everyone likes to make the point of state's rights. It wasn't. Not everyone. I mean, a few people like to make the point of state's rights. But it specifically in the Confederate Constitution makes it illegal for states to make different decisions on slavery and guarantees in perpetuity. Any new territory that joins the Confederacy most also embrace slavery. I love the people.
Starting point is 01:17:44 That's not state's rights at all. There's like six people out that write me every time I talk about Abraham Lincoln and they're like, he was a tyrant. Oh, please give it a rest. So what was your? So what was your? your solution was to go with a new government that dictated that you must have slaves, I think I'll go with the other tyrant in the hat. It's just me.
Starting point is 01:18:09 And the hat is what won you over. Yeah. To be fair. It is. And the good looks of Abraham Lincoln. He was a good-looking man. He was, doesn't he? A sexy dude.
Starting point is 01:18:18 So if you want to join us, Fourth of July, trust me, I have been to all the Fourth of July celebrations all around the country over the the years and they are lacking in a certain spirit. And you will see something you have never seen before as we restore the covenant July 4th. Go to glenbeck.com slash restore. All right.

It's simply safebeck.com. You're listening to Glenn. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. I want to go through a montage here of the way the U.S. press has been covering the funeral and the loss of the Iranian terror leader. Listen. He was a war hero. under if Iran's feared Kuds Force.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Kassim Soleimani was no ordinary general. The U.S. officially classified him as a terrorist, but in Iran, he was a national hero. He's regarded as personally, incredibly brave. The troops love him. I was trying to think of somebody, and I was thinking of DeGald. A revered figure in Iran and some other places in the Middle East.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Smart, charismatic, ruthless, strategic, and bold. Qasem Soleimani was an evil genius. Soleimani was in charge of spreading Iran. an influence around the world, and he was extremely good at it. He is the, think of the French Foreign Legion, you know, if you will. By killing Qasem Soleimani, the U.S. has stripped Iran of an inspirational military leader. The crowds are massive and emotional. There are many tears here. Thousands of mourners on the streets in Iran.
Starting point is 01:21:44 Symbolic caskets are loft, leaping and chancing. I am Soleimani. The Supreme Leader of Iran weeping and praying over a coffin, draped in the Iraqi flag. It's difficult to convey how revered he is. There was talk in Iran Soleimani might be a future president or perhaps even a supreme leader. Might be a future president. Democrats are like, yeah, right, he'd be great.
Starting point is 01:22:10 He could beat Trump. No, Horam. Oh, okay. It's almost that level. It really is. It really is. Let me ask you that if he could beat Donald Trump, I contend the Democratic. would consider it.
Starting point is 01:22:28 That is the one qualification you need. Yeah, that's the only one. I mean, no, not to be the next president, but to be the next candidate. Yeah, they just have to believe. I'm just saying that, yeah. I don't think America would vote for this guy. But if he convinced them that he could beat Donald Trump,
Starting point is 01:22:49 they'd all be for him. They'd all be for him. I mean, Bernie Sanders. is a socialist who is in second place, I guess you'd say right now. Mm-hmm. Right? He's, it seemed to be leading Iowa, maybe leading New Hampshire. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:23:07 And he's, you know, on Anderson Cooper last night. Oh, yeah. You know, blabbing on about how this is, you know, he's comparing it. This is Putin. Yeah. This is Putin. Basically calling Trump Putin the same way Putin kills dissidents. there isn't a tie to the two situations you're describing.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Like they're just not even close to the same. There's people involved in both. That's one similarity. They're not even close to the same situation. One, the dissidents are dissenting against Putin and his regime. And while this guy may be against the United States of America, he's engaging in actual death. He's killing our soldiers. He is spreading horror all throughout the Middle East.
Starting point is 01:23:59 We, as we've said, like three times on the day show, we know one of the children who his squad went through and drilled into his leg as a torture practice just to torture his family after killing the mom in front of them. I mean, this is not a dissident. This is not somebody who is like, You know what? I have a different agreement with Donald Trump. And I, you know, I really think we should maybe open up free and fair elections.
Starting point is 01:24:29 This guy's not for free and fair elections. This guy is a religious zealot. What part of this goes with anything that you state you believe? Back in a minute.

Starting point is 01:26:12 It just doesn't get any better than you. That was the Jason Garrett of anchoring. It was very nice. How dare you, sir? Yeah, that's good. All right. Glenn's like, yeah, that reference, I understand. I'll say that much.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Jason Garrett, he's a football player. He was a football player at one time. That's true. That is true. And now he is on SPN. He is on ESPN being covered for being fired as the Dallas Cowboys coach. So yes, he is on. Yes, there you go.
Starting point is 01:26:45 So there. You were on it. I was wrong. You knew exactly where. I could put the pieces together. I'm not a complete moron. I'm moron, but not a complete moron. Not complete.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Not complete. Thank you, Stu. No problem. Man, I feel good about myself every day. That was the goal of today's program to make Glenn feel good about himself. Thank you very much. We have some Well, we have some junk reports
Starting point is 01:27:07 To get into and you'll understand In a minute, what I mean by junk reports And enlightenment Okay, I'm going to say a name And you're going to kind of remember you're going to be like Hey, why do I know? Jessica Yaniv I kind of know it, I don't remember
Starting point is 01:27:42 It was a story about Yeah, story about the guy who became a woman Who wouldn't even go into a pool Because he was now having period She was now having her period. And she went into a salon and wanted her junk waxed. And they said, uh, no, dude. And she's the, dude, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:28:03 And so she sued him. She sued the salon. The court case is now over. And the court has rendered its verdict. Which way do you think this went? And yet there's more in one minute. This is the Glembeck program. So I got Tanya the ex-chair for Christmas.
Starting point is 01:28:32 And she was so, she was so surprised. I mean, because all you did was talk about it for months on national radio. Because she told me that's what she wanted. And you did your duty. I did my duty. I am a really good present giver at times. and, for instance, Mary in my life, she's great. I can spot Mary and some things a million miles away,
Starting point is 01:29:01 and I'd be like, boom, there's the present for Mary. For your daughter. My son, great. The other three women in my life? Well, four, if you count the mistress. No, the other. So hard to buy presents for the mistress these days. It really is.
Starting point is 01:29:19 What do you get them? An apartment? What do you? It's usually an apartment. That's a great point. It's usually an apartment. So anyway, the other three women in my life, no idea. None whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Zero, zilch, zip. I finally just asked my daughter, what do you want? She's like, I want an olive tree salad bowl. And I'm like, oh, of course you do. What the hell is that? So I'm, you know, I'm Googling olive. wood salad bowls still got it wrong
Starting point is 01:29:55 but the effort was there so my wife said I want the X chair it was the gift that she was really happy about you know she didn't apparently like the monkey that I got her no actually I have a friend
Starting point is 01:30:09 you remember Joe he got his wife the first year for Christmas he got her I think a vacuum and you're like what the hell what are you doing? I've bought my wife vacuums before for holidays.
Starting point is 01:30:25 Not not not not this wife. Your wife wants the vacuum. She's a vacuum queen. Yeah, she demands the vacuum. Right. She's asking for the vacuum. This, this woman was not asking for a vacuum.
Starting point is 01:30:36 You want to be sure if you're buying a vacuum for a present. So then all of his friends said, look, dude, you, no, you have to buy something that they're not going to want to buy themselves, something that's really about the next year for Christmas, he bought her a monkey. A live monkey? What are the kind of monkey is there? A stuffed monkey? Yeah, a stuffed monkey.
Starting point is 01:30:58 No, a monkey. A monkey corpse. And he's like, she'd never buy this for herself. No, nobody would, nobody sane would do this. All right. It's a tarantula. Of course they're not going to buy that. A tarantula is even more understandable.
Starting point is 01:31:14 It's more, you can at least deal with it. Yeah, it's a pet. Kind of, weirdly. You put it in a box. A pet, but a monkey is like a monkey eventually rips people's faces off. Is that true? Oh, you don't remember the woman in Connecticut who was keeping a monkey. Monkeys, when they get to be teenagers, I think, is when you have to like put them back into the forest or wherever they live or the zoo because they'll rip your face off.
Starting point is 01:31:45 once they're really cute when they're kids and they're you know young but then they start to go through puberty and this monkey was like i don't know 15 or 20 years old and this woman had it in connecticut just in her house and it was a chimp and got out of the house and the neighbors go into their car and the chimp comes and literally rips her face off oh my god i don't remember this what was this 10 years ago 15 years ago literally ripped her face off do you remember that It was, it's horrifying. And you look her up online and you'll see they reconstructed her face. It was horrible. Horrible. So monkeys, bad idea. So what you're saying here is X chair. X chair, great idea.
Starting point is 01:32:28 It's a great present. Never ripped any face off. Yeah. Never. Never. And she was, she was very excited when she got it. Um, so anyway, the X chair. It has the dynamic variable lumbar support, 10 settings.
Starting point is 01:32:41 The X chair is the one that you need for a comfortable work day. Tanya loves hers. I love mine, X-Chair. On sale now for $100 off. Just go to X-Chairbeck.com. That's X-Chair-B-B-E-C-K-K-com or call 844-4-X-Chair. Use the promo code Beck. You'll receive the new set of the new X-W wheels with your chair. It's X-chairbeck.com promo code Beck. So can we get to, can we get to, can we get to the woman now. Thank you. That still has all of her male junk. Well, I, look, there is a transition going on in a physical sense, but she's always been a woman. Of course she has.
Starting point is 01:33:38 So she went into a salon and said, I want my junk waxed. And they were like, we don't do that for guy parts. and guy parts these are women parts dare you Jessica Yaneev yes she is up in Canada and she went to
Starting point is 01:33:59 get her junk waxed and they said no and they said we don't really do that for men and that was a big controversy she filed a claim in the British Columbia human rights tribunal
Starting point is 01:34:14 because when the human rights you think of don't I have a right a human fundamental human right to wax. And of course the answer to that is yes. But this particular dumb court This is surprising. This is coming from Canada. Because they're really extreme on the stuff.
Starting point is 01:34:31 Bad. Really extreme. I mean, they've done terrible things to people for just speaking out. I mean, look what they were trying to do with Jordan Peterson. Right. So this is, was a surprise in which they actually threw the case out. She wanted to get something like $500,000. but that did not
Starting point is 01:34:49 happen. In fact, Yan'ev was actually ordered to pay $2,000 to each of the three, to three of four clients represented because of improper conduct. So that's how that case wound up and look, the Jessica Yan'ev parts of
Starting point is 01:35:04 our lives was over. It's over. We don't have to think about that anymore. You know, that's good. I really don't want to think about it anymore. Right. However, there's a new development in the story. Now, this is where it gets complex. This is where you're not sure which way to go. You tell me, think about this as we go through the story, which way does the media go on this?
Starting point is 01:35:26 They don't know. Which way does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez go on this story? See, we're consistent. We say we're against it. Yeah. It's easy. It's easy. Doesn't take any thought. Imagine the wood and coal that needs to be shoveled into Cortez's head just to just to, just just to have the power to compute all of the possibilities. So Jessica Yaniv went to the She Point Beauty Salon. The She Point. She went in there, wanted some waxing done, and asked to get her legs waxed in private.
Starting point is 01:36:06 And she wanted, obviously, to have her pants down during this procedure. Now, the waxing situation, again, and I would not like to force you to think about any more, but it's important to this story because of the reason that the salon refused to do it, because now there's a new case. She's brought, uh, Jessica's brought in front of the court. The reason was a religious objection.
Starting point is 01:36:35 So they said they would not wax her. He's. I'm sorry. I thought we were talking about Jessica. Yes. Yeah. Hers. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 01:36:46 Hers. Okay. Would not wax them in this way because it violated their religious principles. So now you have the media who's saying, okay, you've got this wonderful transgendered woman who just needs some waxing done and is against some evil. Christian. Bastard religious extremists who won't help them. Correct. We know what side.
Starting point is 01:37:15 That's easy. AOC. That's not what this is. However, it's not a Christian. Is it Islam? Is it Islam? Because that would make their heads pop. If it was Islam,
Starting point is 01:37:24 they very well might be on the side of the salon owner. Right. Because that religious extremism isn't extreme. That's normal. It's okay. It should be respected. But it would be really difficult. They would really have to choose.
Starting point is 01:37:40 But this is the complication. Mm-hmm. Here's the thing. The salon owner. is of the Sikh persuasion. So now you have India being a capitalist country. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:37:53 But a person of color. Person of color. Versus a white transgendered man to woman. Right. And you also have, you also have them from the, from the Punjab area. It is the Punjab. That's a good point, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:38:11 I'm glad you brought up Punjab, because it is from the Punjab area. And there's something incredibly relevant to this story when you talk about Punjab. Right. I'm asking you for a. And you're from Punjab. So, I mean, I would think that that. It actually feels like a good name for like on the menu of selections.
Starting point is 01:38:34 You can get like waxing the legs. Stop. Stop. I just saying the name of the town. I got it. I got it. The Sikh religion was in the region. Right.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Right, the whole region there of the Punjab. Okay. So of the, so where do you come down when it's Jessica Yanni versus the people of Punjab? All right. Now, if you're in the media, who knows? Who knows? I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Now let me take you back to an earlier story from earlier on the program. Okay. Remember I told you about the British astronaut that, yes, take a moment to process that. Who knew? but the British have an astronaut or maybe even two and one of them said there are aliens and they're living among us and they're invisible okay okay now what about the possibility of aliens living among us and they're not invisible okay what would you say if I suggested to you that perhaps everyone in the
Starting point is 01:39:44 the media is an alien. Everyone in the media? Well, maybe not everyone in the media. But they just look like... A lot of them. They look just like us. But they're not. Right.
Starting point is 01:39:55 Now, if I said to you, and I could show you photo, I could take you to it, and I could prove that it was otherworldly. Okay. If I could take you to the site of a giant spaceship that had room for a thousand aliens, and in there were not,
Starting point is 01:40:14 nothing but books about journalism. I had no other proof. There's nobody at the ship. It crashed maybe 40 years ago, 20 years ago. And it crashed and we just discovered the ship and riddled with journalism books. Would you be willing to accept pretty quickly? That explains it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:43 I mean, we haven't even found the ship. I'm pretty much there. Exactly right. Exactly right. All right. Thank you. Let me tell you about Norton. You find yourself logging into a password protected Wi-Fi source, and it's not your own.

So I have a thesis here, and I'd like to get your percentage. of possibility on this particular thesis. Jessica Yaniv. We really have to go back. No, I'm not going, we've already, we've gone through the entire situation as it revolves wins the waxing and Punjab and the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:43:09 Yes, go ahead. What is the percentage of possibility that the whole Jessica Yaniv thing is performance art? We're going to find out in six months, there's a documentary or reality series of this person who actually is trying to show how ridiculous this is. and continues to file a loss, zero. Really? Zero. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:30 I'm at least 10%. I mean, not only is she, it's the most extreme and ridiculous thing you could do. It's a cry for help. It may very well be. That's why I'm only saying 10%. Yeah. But you don't think there's any percentage possibility that this is like, let's say almost a conservative activist who's living. We're not living this life to prove how ridiculous this is.
Starting point is 01:43:50 We're not that creative. Really? We're just not that creative. No. It would be a good series. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know what? I think about this.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Our own Stephen Crowder. Now, I don't believe he's asked for any waxing. We'd have to ask Stephen if this has happened. He went in for a pregnancy check. But he did go in for a pregnancy test dressed as a woman while clearly a man. To us a Planned Parenthood, wasn't it? Yeah. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, he actually acquired actual pregnant urine.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Yeah, he tested positive for pregnancy. And tested positive for pregnancy at a Planned Parenthood. Yeah. Now, that's not possible for a man. No matter what anyone says to you, that is not possible for a man. I can't believe you have to say that. You have to say that. I know.
Starting point is 01:44:35 By the way, that's not possible for a man to be pregnant. And I want people to know that. Can you imagine if I'm a time traveler, all I'm doing is I'm going and I'm playing my show back to my audience 20 years ago. Oh, yeah. It's all I'm doing. You want to know how bad it's going to get? Listen to this. This is my actual show in 20.
Starting point is 01:44:55 25 years. Nobody would believe it. Nobody would believe it. So you don't think there's any chance of it. No. I mean, it would be a great, it would be a great series. It would be.
Starting point is 01:45:07 This is a cry for help. This person is, I think it would be much more likely that we find this person dead by their own hand sometime in the future. Oh gosh. I mean, that's,
Starting point is 01:45:19 they turn that little bit, a little dark. I was having some fun with it and you kind of brought it It's the darkest. Always ends with a bullet to that. It does with you. No, I mean, I just think there are some really sick people right now.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Some really sick people. And some people that are really, really miserable. Do you see the guy who has, I think he had 6,000 plastic surgeries to look like the Ken doll? Yeah, yeah. And now he's like, I'm a woman and I've always been more like Barbie than Ken. How sweetheart. No. Yeah, you're not Ken or Barbie.
Starting point is 01:45:58 You're, you have, you have some sort of disorder that is causing you to think that you will find your, your happiness in looking a different way. But once you complete from going from Ken to Barbie, you're going to be just as miserable. And I just, I feel like we are a society that is just cruel. we're being cruel to people by allowing them to live these lives where oh yeah I'm a man and I can get pregnant oh yeah I'm a man with all my junk and I can't go swimming today
Starting point is 01:46:35 I'm upset a little bit because I can't go swimming today because if you're menstruating you can't get in the pool and I'm menstruating dude if you're if you're bleeding from downstairs okay with male junk go see a doctor you're not menstruating you go see a doctor
Starting point is 01:46:53 We have a lacerated kidney. Yeah. I mean, really, really bad. And we're just doing so much damage to people. We've gone on from our children giving them all trophies and saying they're all special. Now, some of them suck. Oh, yeah. A lot of them do.
Starting point is 01:47:09 Yeah. A lot of kids are terrible. Yeah. And some of them in our own family. I mean, I got four. I got four. Do you want to name names or? I don't think I need to.
Starting point is 01:47:19 I think they know. So. You know, we're giving them hope, false hope. We're telling them that, oh, they're spectacular. Oh, yes, you could win on American. No, you can't. You suck. Now, you don't have to say it that way, but we don't tell our children the truth anymore.
Starting point is 01:47:41 We don't teach them the truth. And, gee, we wonder why suicide is going up. You're going to be incredibly disappointed when you realize, you know, you're not Rihanna. That's not you. And it shouldn't be you. You be you. Rihanna is Rihanna. You be you.
Starting point is 01:48:00 And, you know, it started out as, hey, I got to be who I am. Okay, be who you are. But if you're like, I'm actually a woman and I'm menstruating, even though I haven't had any junk removed, dude, that's not you. That's not you. That's a lie. And it's a dangerous lie. and we are enabling really dangerous things for very sad people.
Starting point is 01:48:27 Stop it. We're not helping. We are not helping. We are hurting people. You say you have compassion. Compassion requires truth. Back in a minute. It'll be the last show I do.
Starting point is 01:48:48 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

They have their new 18, well, they're not new. They're old, but new offering of 1880 gold, five and a half liberties, five and a half dollar liberties, and they are extremely popular in diversification and protection.
Starting point is 01:49:20 I love these old gold American coins just for the collectability of them and the history that they tell. But they're also, they were designed to be used as money. And for 140 years, old coins are usually beat up. These are really an excellent condition. And right now with Goldline, you can get 20 free silver coins with every tube purchase for a limited time. So stop waiting to make a decision to protect your property. portfolio. Look at the price of gold. See what's happened just with the instability of the world in the last two weeks.

However, it does not save you any money off your waxing. You know, it's interesting to me. I think the, I think the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the should answer this question about John Bolton one way. John Bolton has said he would testify if he was subpoenaed. So are you going to call him? This is the only answer. Right now, there is nothing facing the Senate
Starting point is 01:50:54 because the House has not sent over the impeachment to the House or to the Senate. So as soon as we get the articles of impeachment, then we can talk about it. Up until now, up until then, you should just talk to Nancy Pelosi. he said she could subpoena and he would answer so go ahead subpoena him in the House this isn't an issue
Starting point is 01:51:16 in front of the Senate yet yeah it's true that's it there's no process to be had yeah that's it shuts it all down and goes right back tensions are rising now and things are getting hot
Starting point is 01:51:25 on the GOP Senate no no it's not no we don't have anything to act on no reason to talk about it right now yeah no reason and there is a reason for the House to talk about because as you point out they don't they just because they've turned in
Starting point is 01:51:35 the articles of impeachment does not mean they cannot call Bolton as a witness. They could still do it. They could still open these things right back up and do it if they wanted to. There's obviously other things at play. They're just playing politics.
Starting point is 01:51:47 So let's look right now at the political state of the Democratic Party. Stu just made some changes to our big board here in the studio of here are the front runners. Yeah, they got a shot. The next category is I mean, maybe, if everything goes right,
Starting point is 01:52:05 eh, probably not. No. and dropped out. The dropped out is turning into almost like an Empire State building type of tower. It's amazing. There's a lot of candidates. Look at how many candidates. Yeah, I mean, we have six and 15, 18 that have dropped out there.
Starting point is 01:52:20 And we're really only down to 246, nine candidates, you know, that are even, that really have any kind of chance at all. But your top four are the ones that are probably going to make all the difference, at least in the first three. Usually it is decided by South Carolina. However, let's look at Iowa. Iowa could go for Joe Biden, although he's
Starting point is 01:52:46 trailing. Although he's had a couple good polls lately. The polling average actually has him leading now in Iowa. Though, again, you know, these things are very close. Like right now, the 538's average of polls has Biden at
Starting point is 01:53:01 22, Sanders at 20.4, and Buttigieg at 18.9. And Buttigieg has fallen off a little bit. He was leading early December by, you know, a few points. I mean, four or five points on average. But he's fallen off a little bit. And I don't think there's a path for Buttigieg to win the nomination without Iowa. No, he has to win Iowa.
Starting point is 01:53:24 Because he won't. He won't win New Hampshire and he won't win South Carolina. Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, he's not doing terribly in New Hampshire. He's, you know, South Carolina. New Hampshire is going to go for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. And that's, again, Warren's path there is. Closes.
Starting point is 01:53:43 And the thing is, if Sanders can win in Iowa, you think it probably closes the path for Elizabeth Warren to be the nominee. Sanders is a quirky enough candidate that he might be able to go back and win New Hampshire after losing Iowa. I don't think that's the same for Warren. I don't think that's true. Right now in New Hampshire, Joe Biden at 21.1, Sanders at 21. Warren is at 14.7, Buttigieg 13. I mean, it's not a question.
Starting point is 01:54:16 If Bernie Sanders people could convince the caucus to throw Elizabeth Warren under the bus and go with him. And remember, the caucus is different. You don't go into a closed booth and pull. It's not how the thing works. It's weird. It's a weird conversation, basically.
Starting point is 01:54:31 And everyone kind of knows where the candidate it's stand and they ask you, do you want to change, are you changing your support? You have an opportunity to change your support. So if you see Biden is up by two over Sanders and you're a Warren supporter, you may very well switch over to Sanders to try to give him the win. Right. Because you'd rather have Sanders than Biden, even though he's not your first choice. Correct. So that's why Sanders does very well in caucuses and did very well against Clinton in caucuses last time, did not do so well in primaries. But, you know, the caucus is a good opportunity against for Sanders to actually take a lead
Starting point is 01:55:08 here. One of the interesting things that could present itself is, let's say, a Buttigieg win in Iowa, a Sanders win in New Hampshire, very plausible. And a Biden win in South Carolina. Well, and you're forgetting that, Nevada, which you could see a Warren win in Nevada, and then a Biden win in South Carolina. then you've got Super Tuesday, which is when essentially
Starting point is 01:55:34 Bloomberg enters the race with $250 million spent in those states. That is like the ultimate chaos situation and totally the thing I'm rooting for because it would be really fun. I mean, that is like, that is a, not only a political nerd dream, but also the dream of someone
Starting point is 01:55:54 who just wants to see chaos in the Democratic Party. So you look at that field, and I think that's what you have. if you want to talk outlier possibilities here. Amy Klobuchar's polling lately is coming up. She seems to be making a little bit of a push in Iowa. She doesn't need to win Iowa.
Starting point is 01:56:10 If she can finish in, let's say the top three in Iowa, that's going to be something very positive for her, and she might be able to have a little bit, some legs going forward. And Bloomberg, of course, comes in on Super Tuesday. Obviously, this didn't work for Giuliani trying to run late, but Giuliani was no billionaire. He didn't spend $250 million on the campaign.
Starting point is 01:56:28 And if you're fractured, if you're fractured with everybody, it could work this time. I mean, I could easily see a different winner in every single of the four first states. Because one of the biggest union states is Nevada and Warren does very well with unions. Now, so does Sanders. And it kind of strikes me to think if Sanders wins one of those two states, Sanders probably will also win Nevada. But does spark people convinced that Sanders could beat Trump? You know, I don't know how you could be. I mean, he seems to me to be among the worst opportunity.
Starting point is 01:57:06 I think, look, I've been clear about this for many, many years, and I think it's totally true. And it was true, I believe, in the Clinton-Trump election. When it gets down to one versus one, anything can happen. Anything can happen. Any candidate can beat the other candidate when it's essentially one versus one. And when you get to the point where it's, you know, don't dismiss Sanders or Warren if they get up against Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:57:29 Like, I think the perfect candidate for Donald Trump to face off against is Elizabeth Warren. If you could design a candidate that Donald Trump could defeat most easily, I think it would be Elizabeth Warren. That being said, if the economy has a bad quarter before the election, everything's up in the air. If, you know, if war happens or a terrorist attack, who knows? Yeah. All these things. And even, you know, a weird controversy at the last minute, who knows what happens. but that's why it's kind of like you get nervous if a Sanders or a Warren becomes the nominee
Starting point is 01:58:00 because God forbid one of them win they are real especially Sanders is a real ideologue I don't know about you but Joe Biden the only thing I worry about with Joe Biden is who he picks his vice president because I honestly and I don't mean this in a bad way I just don't see him I could see him retiring in the first two years or you know or not being he's slipping. He's slipping. He's not strong. I mean, it's 80. And again, like, you could say, oh, well, you're just criticizing some old Democratic guy. I wouldn't say the same about Sanders. Sanders heart is having all sorts of issues, but he seems to have tons of energy. He's saying the same socialist things he was saying in
Starting point is 01:58:41 1981. Right. So you kind of. And Sanders does have, he does have energy that Joe Biden doesn't. No, I know. I mean, you know, say what you want about Bernie Sanders in his heart. That's not a good thing. not a good sign, but that guy is just like the Energizer Bunny. He just goes and goes. He's like Donald Trump. And Trump is the same way. Trump is the same way. Just never stops. Joe Biden is, doesn't look healthy. He doesn't. You know, he just, he looks like, you know, an 80 year old that is, you know, towards the end. I mean, and then you look at the polling averages. Biden leads in Iowa by a tick. Biden leads in New Hampshire by a tick. He leads a ton in South Carolina. He leads nationally 27 to 18 over Sanders.
Starting point is 01:59:28 Warren at 15, Buttigieg at 7. I mean, it's just like he, again, this has been his to lose this entire time. And he's really good at losing. I mean, he's done nothing but lose every time he's run for president. In embarrassing fashion most of the time. Here, he's holding the lead, I think, just because these other candidates are so crazy. So bad. Like, it's hard to unify around.
Starting point is 01:59:53 somebody like, you know, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. So the categories we have is frontrunners, we have Biden and Sanders there. Sanders still, I mean, he's right there in both of the early states and his second place nationally. Yeah, they've got a shot is the next category. Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg are there. The next one is, I mean, maybe if everything goes right, we have Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bloomberg. And Bloomberg is a real wild card here. Show me the path for Amy.
Starting point is 02:00:19 I think Amy is, well, winning Iowa puts her in the, in the, picture. She's currently, she'd be currently fifth, however, rising. And if she is, if something happens, let's say where Joe Biden really screws up and his, you know, his appeal were to fall apart, Klobuchar and Buttigieg would be the
Starting point is 02:00:36 candidates for that lane. But you're right, Biden has to fall apart for that to happen. That's not impossible. Even this close. I mean, because February 3rd, it's a day after the Super Bowl, by the way, is the Iowa caucus. Then you have Clobetcher, it's unlikely, but I'm keeping her in that category.
Starting point is 02:00:56 The next one is, eh, probably not. Corey Booker. Can't believe he's still in. I can't believe either. Tom Steyer, who I think would have a better chance if it wasn't for Bloomberg. He's running the same campaign as Bloomberg, when the money and everything, he's much more liberal than Bloomberg, but also... That's saying something.
Starting point is 02:01:12 Yeah. But he has no personality. So he's in real trouble. And Andrew Yang, I think you can say I'm being unfair by putting him in category four or five. here. His fundraising was excellent. $16 million. He used it, I think, third or fourth in the fundraising. You see the whipped cream incident?
Starting point is 02:01:27 I did. That's why he's in, eh, probably not. Yeah, no, the whipped cream thing was weird. I like Andrew Yang kind of. Like, he seems like a likable guy. His policy positions, though, are not nearly socialist enough for this field. And, you know, like, he's got a following. He's a businessman.
Starting point is 02:01:44 I mean, he's still very, very left. And I wouldn't want his policies, you know, because I think some of his policies. policies are really bad economically. Yeah. But he's at least an understandable guy, a guy who, you know, you're like, I could, I could talk to him. Yeah. And he could have a real conversation with him. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:04 And he seems to be somewhat respectful of conservatives. But I mean, like, look at his policy prescriptions. Yang talks nonstop about universal basic income, which sounds mega super liberal. It is, in my mind. I don't like the policy. However, part of his policy is also getting rid of, like, every welfare. policy in the United States. And there's no way the Democratic Party of any year, but certainly not 2020, is going to be like, yeah, let's get rid of food stamps and welfare and Medicaid
Starting point is 02:02:33 and all of these other things. But let me ask you this. Which party is in real trouble? You have Joe Biden, the last gasp of the old Democratic Party. Okay. You have Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Let's just stick to the top. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Socialists. Socialists. They're not traditional American political entities. They're socialist.
Starting point is 02:03:00 Then you have Pete Buttigieg, a guy who's really there because nobody knows anything about him. He seems to be smart but has no record. Nothing to criticize because he's never done really anything. Okay. So he's really a non-entity. And an identity politics candidate as well. Correct. Correct. Then you have Michael Bloomberg, who I guess and Tom,
Starting point is 02:03:20 Steyer could be categorized in the Joe Biden, but they're not really. I mean, Steyer's really more of a Sanders-Warrant type of guy, but he's, you know, just because he has a lot of money, he seems to be more on that side, I mean, what is the future of this party in America? That's a bad field. That's a bad field right there. That's really bad. I mean, Buttigieg and maybe Klobuchar, you could say, okay, you can kind of see the future.
Starting point is 02:03:44 I don't know. Maybe you think Cory Booker. I mean, he's never proven anything. Horrible. I mean, the rest of this field, I mean, Gabbard is just. out of the step with the party at this point. You know, she's too well liked by, you know, moderates and conservatives. And I think she's got some good qualities, but she's not going to win this primary.
Starting point is 02:03:59 Delaney, still in it. Patrick's still in it. Deval Patrick is still in this. And Marianne Williamson, who's laid off her entire campaign staff, still continues to be active. But, like, I mean. And yoga classes. Well, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 02:04:11 Well, she also sells essential oils. Yeah. So we got that going for us. America. You know. The devious. side of me would just love Marianne Williamson to be the president of the United States just because oh you think we're crazy now oh look out world Williams and Trump a debate there would be fun
Starting point is 02:04:33 oh my gosh that would be fun I'm written out a movie theater for that thing oh that would be so fun can you imagine a Trump Sanders debate that I mean it would be really fascinating I mean again like the idea of stark contrast between candidates I like the idea that you have some person who's presenting socialism. And you know what? Never had the moment with like Elizabeth Warren where she would deny that middle class people were being taxed him.
Starting point is 02:05:00 Like he was being honest about it. And he's not always honest, but he's more honest than a lot of these people are. I wouldn't mind seeing that on stage. I just don't want him. God, Bernie Sanders is president. It's a terrifying notion. I want to talk to you a little bit about David in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 02:05:13 He's a natural born experimenter. He found himself suffering from regular pain in both his shoulder in his foot. he heard about relief factor early on and decided he would give it a shot sure enough when he took it the pain went away now most people would be satisfied with that but he's a he's a natural born experimenter he was like well what happens if i stopped taking it so about a month into it he decided to stop taking it boom pain came back in the shoulder and the foot needless to say david has learned his lesson and he got back on relief factor and within a week his pain was gone again now he takes relief factor daily and he's never a been happier. When you take it properly, relief factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain, and it works for 70% of the people who try it and take it. It costs 1995, just to start with their three-week quick start. 1995, just try it. If it doesn't work after three weeks, probably not going to, and you can stop taking it. But if it does, join the 70% of us who tried
