Glenn Beck and guests dissect alleged evidence of Kamala Harris's intoxication, citing a viral video of her slurred speech and mocking her $1 million payment to Oprah. They argue the 25th Amendment should remove both Harris and Joe Biden, criticizing failed celebrity endorsements by Taylor Swift and Beyoncé while praising Texas Land Commissioner Don Buckingham for offering ranches as detention sites. The hosts condemn student loan forgiveness as unfair, reject DEI policies causing air traffic control shortages, and dismiss calls to use the 25th Amendment for historical symbolism, ultimately framing current leadership as unfit and dangerous.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
Beautiful weather for Thanksgiving, at least here, at least today.
I think it cools off quite a bit tomorrow.
It's like 80 today.
Is it really?
Yeah.
In the DFW Metroplex.
This is why I moved south.
80 on Thanksgiving.
Fine with it.
Love it.
Yeah.
Totally great.
Love it.
I mean, looking at the rest of the country, there's some major storms.
You've got the thing.
Yeah.
So flights probably be delayed or canceled.
I'd be watching out for that.
Yeah.
I think in the Northeast, that's the case, right?
Yeah, they're saying get to the airport three hours early.
Oh, geez.
The answer to that is no.
Okay.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Like, I don't care if this is the last Thanksgiving with a beloved relative.
Three hours?
No, thank you.
And they should understand that.
Your dead relative should understand that when you're at their funeral and you're like, and you're thinking to yourself, gosh, I didn't make it to that last Thanksgiving.
Yeah, but it was three hours at the airport.
So it was completely worth it.
Totally worth it.
Totally worth it.
I'd rather have my moments at home than spending it with that loved one.
That's the decision to make because that's crazy.
And you know, it is crazy.
You know, you mentioned countdown to the next aviation disaster, my documentary, which is available, by the way.
A great watch over a very heavily traveled week.
You can check it out at blazeoriginals.com/slash stew.
The code is DEI, and you get 30 bucks off if you use that code.
But part of that is the air traffic control shortage and problems with the air traffic controllers.
And, you know, we do focus on the DEI aspects.
How there was an assessment made by our federal government that there are just too many white males who wanted to be air traffic controllers, and we needed to stop that because the people who kept passing the test were all white males.
So what we need to do is change the test so that white males won't pass it as often and other colors and other genders will.
Now, that to me, it strikes me, Pat, as a very bad idea.
But it is just one of the slew of problems going on.
One of the issues they're dealing with is at Newark Airport.
One of the big reasons you're getting all of these delays all over the country is centrally because of Newark.
Now, if you've ever been to Newark, you don't want to ever go back to Newark.
It's not the happiest place on Earth.
No.
It's not even top five.
It's not even top five.
No.
No.
It's somewhere like below Bangladesh is where you'll find it.
And the airport itself is gigantic.
It's one of three major airports in New York.
And air traffic control was handled on Long Island, which is in New York.
But they were having a problem staffing it there.
And Long Island, very expensive area, kind of difficult to really find a place to live.
That's cheap because you can't really commute there easily.
So they decided they were going to make this big move and take all of that air traffic control for Newark and move it to the Philly area.
Easier to, I guess, get people to come in because the suburbs of Philly are very nice and you can drive from a long distance to get there.
So they wound up doing that.
Did not go well because the people who were air traffic controllers for Newark all had their lives set up on Long Island and they didn't want to leave.
So they've been having all these problems and there's suspicions that, you know, some of these people are just being like, eh, I can't make it.
And one of the just so typical.
And it makes so much sense with government, but one of the issues is if there's like a close call, if there's something stressful that happens, they had a situation where the computers went down for like 40 seconds, which, you know, you might think, I, you know, I have Microsoft Outlook.
That happens to me 46 times a day.
But when it happens with air traffic control, kind of a big situation if your computers go down for 40 seconds.
So they went down at one point for 40 seconds.
And if an air traffic controller says that that was a traumatic experience for them, if they felt like they had some trauma, they have to be pulled off of the job.
Right?
So if they say, gosh, that was traumatic, instantly they are pulled off of the job because they can't be in a state of trauma trying to do this really important work.
Now, there's some sense to that.
You kind of understand why that rule might be in place.
However, you also understand how that rule can be hacked.
The second you have a traumatic experience, you're off.
And you can't come on until you basically clear whatever, you know, whatever test you can get to say that you're no longer being involved in trauma, which includes you saying it, right?
So you have to say, I no longer feel like I'm in a traumatic experience anymore.
You have to go to the doctor for that?
I don't know that you even need to be cleared by the doctor.
Part of it, though, has to be you saying it.
That I'm not traumatized.
I'm not traumatized anymore.
In fact, I was over it 44 seconds after this.
The computer went down.
This reminds me of the border, where we say things like, well, if you come in and you say asylum, we have to just take you in and then release you into the country.
So everyone, they're not even, like, we're like, oh, we got to build a wall.
And look, I'm for that.
But like, they don't care about the wall.
They're coming right across the normal crossings and saying, help, asylum.
They're not trying to evade capture.
They're trying to be captured.
And they're taught to do it.
And they're taught to do it.
And so they've learned to hack our rules.
They know the exact, say, the exact things to say in the order to say them.
And then they're released into the country and they have a court date in 18 months or three years or five years.
So they know it.
And that's, it feels like, at least the accusation is that's kind of what's going on.
And part of the reason why we're having so many delays.
If you're an air traffic controller and you just want time off, trauma.
You're traumatized.
Traumatized.
Because it's like, you know, with like a school shooting.
If a kid makes a joke about a school shooting, kid's not coming to school for a while.
Right.
And maybe never again.
Right.
And I, again, understand why that rule exists.
However, kids know that too.
And if a kid makes a joke like that because they don't want to go to school for two weeks, that is something that has occurred.
Let's put it that way.
It's not, you know, it's not super common, but it has occurred.
So with the busiest travel week of all time, that's really handy to have that kind of thing going on right now with air traffic controllers, airline strikes.
I mean, there's a whole bunch of different things that are happening converging on this all at once.
It's amazing it hasn't gone haywire yet.
But I think things are going fairly smoothly up to this point.
But weather delays or whatever could really throw a monkey wrench into your holiday travel this weekend.
18 million people are traveling by air.
I think it's 80 million altogether that are either traveling by car or plane.
Yeah.
80 million people.
That's, you know, nearly a third of the country, but not quite.
But that's, that's a lot of people.
So it's going to be a really busy weekend.
Did you do the flying thing when you were younger, like for family Thanksgivings, or did you drive or what did you do?
We stayed home.
Stayed home.
People came to you or everyone's kind of in the area.
Yeah.
Family gathered at my parents' house.
Okay.
So, yeah.
We always had like a two-hour drive to my grandparents.
Okay.
That was our travel every single year.
Thanks for rubbing in the fact that my grandparents were dead and we couldn't do that.
That wasn't really the intent of my words.
I mean, it's too soon.
Too soon.
How old would they be today?
Would you say?
I don't know.
In their mid-hundreds, probably.
Mid to late hundreds.
Mid to late hundreds.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I apologize for that.
Are you, oh, no.
Are you traumatized?
Do you need to leave the broadcast?
I do need to leave.
Oh, no.
I do need to leave.
But this is just.
And I don't know that we have a test that allows me to come back.
So the day before Thanksgiving, you just need to leave the air early because you're traumatized because of my comment.
Yes.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
You being as traumatized, and you're a friend of mine, of course, it traumatizes me.
And I'm very, I'm feeling terrible right now.
I guess that leaves it to BJ.
Yeah.
Good luck, BJ.
No, so we used to drive a couple of hours and you get the traffic.
But I just remember sitting in the back of my dad's car and listening to sport almost always play by play of an NFL game.
You know what I mean?
I can just feel that.
And you realize like how much of a part of people's lives this time of year is radio is.
Because you not only have all the NFL games, you have, of course, our wonderful series of talk radio stations, affiliates across the country.
And in addition to that, you have the Christmas music station.
Like, that's the other thing you're listening to right now.
And it really is a central part of like American life this time of year.
You know, I mean, and so many people, that is a highly, like it is ingrained in your holiday experience.
The radio.
It is a huge, massive part of American culture.
And that's one thing I'm thankful for.
I will say, going into the election, one of those concerns beyond just the normal stuff that we are all concerned about was whether the federal government would be coming after those stations.
Right.
You know, I mean, they would have.
And I really think they would have.
I think they would have, too.
Seems like they were making that move.
Yep.
And they've been setting that up for a long time.
Hopefully now we're past that.
Brendan Carr going to the FCC, a very good development.
You've probably heard him on this program several times, a new FCC appointee for Donald Trump.
So some really good things coming.
And when you talk about being thankful, it's hard to kind of separate that from what happened a few weeks ago in that election.
That separation, you think of that, what was the old movie?
A sliding doors.
Remember that movie?
I don't know.
It's one of those movies that's used more as a reference than anyone's ever actually seen it, but it was a Gwyneth Paltrow movie.
Oh, yeah.
Remember that?
And the sliding doors of the subway or whatever are closing.
And they have two versions of the movie, one of which she makes the train, the other one she just misses it and the doors close.
And they take you through both timelines.
One timeline is she makes the train, she gets home, she catches her husband cheating, if I remember correctly.
The second she misses the train, so she has to catch the next one.
The other woman gets out of the house at the last second and she doesn't know about the cheating.
And they kind of take you down both roads.
It's actually, now that I'm talking about it, it's kind of a pretty old concept.
It was a good movie, I think, because you kind of see both sides of it.
But like, think of where we were.
I mean, it's easy to look back at that election and say, oh, Trump, you know, won easily.
He needed to win one of those blue wall states.
The biggest blowout of those three blue wall states was 1.7%.
It was the blowout one, Pennsylvania.
The other two were closer than that.
RFK Jr. and the Rich Man's Game00:06:10
Wisconsin was less than a point.
That is, while, you know, maybe a little bit more comfortable than I think some people thought going into the election, it's really close.
And that could have gone the other way.
The American people could have picked Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
And then what does this Thanksgiving feel like?
Bad.
It feels bad under those circumstances.
It feels like trauma to me, Paul.
And I feel like I feel traumatized.
And I can't do the show with trauma.
We know that.
We know that.
More coming up in one minute.
All right.
If you've noticed, maybe a lot of prices have gone up over the past few years.
Ammunition is no exception to that.
If you've gone to the range, it's like setting money on fire just to try to get better.
And if you have to hire a firearms instructor on top of that, it's even worse because they're not even usually very cheap either.
Getting good with your gun is something that's an essential part of protecting your freedom and your Second Amendment rights and the freedom of those that you love.

10 seconds, Station ID.
It's a frightful, what, 70 degrees where we broadcast.
It's going to be a little cooler tomorrow, though, I think.
80 today, and then is it in the 50s tomorrow?
I think considerably cooler tomorrow.
But still better than a lot of places where you're going to have snowy conditions and probably flight delays and all of that kind of stuff coming up this weekend.
But I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving and are able to get together with your family members, friends.
Of course, the pain of Stu bringing up my dead grandparents still haunts me.
Still haunts you still.
You're still traumatized?
I'm still traumatized.
Darn it.
Yeah.
Tooon.
Dang that trauma.
Too soon.
Too soon.
Yesterday, Rogan, Joe Rogan had a guest on.
It was Mark Andreessen.
And they were talking about the fact that the left is trying to find a Joe Rogan of their own.
And he made kind of an interesting point that they had him for a long time.
I mean, Joe Rogan, a really lean Democrat.
If you remember back in 2020, he supported Bernie Sanders for president of the United States.
It's almost unbelievable when you think about it.
Now, look, this is no, Joe Rogan does what he does very, very well, very, very successful.
I would not say he is the, particularly in 2020, not exactly well-versed on policy.
No, I think he claimed to be this.
Totally not.
I mean, that wasn't really his thing.
Right.
Politics wasn't his thing.
I remember listening to that Bernie Sanders interview.
It was very frustrating to somebody who cares about policy because he didn't know what questions to ask.
He wasn't into that.
That wasn't his thing.
Right.
And so when he endorsed Bernie Sanders, you had to take it a little bit with a grain of salt.
Like the stuff that Bernie Sanders says to someone who doesn't follow policy on a day-to-day basis, you know, might sound okay.
I don't think he'd be in the same position today.
But if you just think back to this election, though, he did support RFK Jr., which is interesting, too, because other than a few issues, he's pretty leftist as well.
I do think that is what Joe Rogan actually is.
He's not really a Trump supporter.
He's an RFK Jr. type of guy.
Right.
I mean, it's fine.
Obviously, in RFK Jr. of the road, independent-ish.
And RFK Jr. had his own little sliding doors moment there where he was like, he tried to call Kamala Harris to get a job there and they didn't return his calls.
What would have happened?
I mean, really, what would have happened if Kamala returns that call and has, you know what?
Whatever you want.
You want HHN interest area?
You got it.
I mean, that was his first call, not his second call.
His first call to Kamala.
I mean, it makes sense.
Like, I ran as a Democrat this cycle.
Right.
So that's a fascinating.
I don't know if that would have changed the election, but it might have.
It's possible.
Yeah.
It's definitely possible.
But Andreessen made this point that, you know, they had Rogan, but they also already have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.
You know, and this is something I bring up a lot on my show.
The left is always whining and crying about the Joe Rogans of the world or Fox News and conservative podcasts when the extent of their influence goes way beyond the network news stations and CNN and MSNBC.
They've got all major newspapers in this country.
They've got all of Hollywood.
They have TV.
They have movies.
They have all of the music industry.
And yet Republicans won.
So what does that tell you?
It tells me that I think the American people still, while we might have lost confidence in them, they still have a certain amount of common sense.
They still have enough of the principles of this country ingrained in their psyche and their DNA that they can reject all the leftism that has been thrown at them in the last few years.
Republicans Defy Cultural Dominance00:14:55
That's a good way of looking at it.
I should fess up to that too.
Over and over again, said on the show leading up to the election, we can't possibly be this stupid, right?
And we're not.
We're not.
Thank heaven, we're not.
But we're a couple of percent.
We're being this stupid.
We're really close, but we're not this stupid yet.
Yes, yeah, we did it, America.
I'll take it.
Yeah, I will take it.
It's so true.
I just kept thinking, like, they can't possibly fall for Kamala Harris as a border hawk, right?
And no, no, they actually buy one point seven percent, but no.
I love it, though.
I absolutely love it.
I do too.
It's gonna be a happy Thanksgiving as a result.

It's a it's Pat and Stew for Glenn today on the very precipice of Thanksgiving.
This is kind of fun.
Democratic strategist Theron Bond absolutely begged Kamala Harris to never run for president again.
She's so great.
Apparently, you know, Harris has been telling her allies that she's staying in the fight.
So she, I guess everybody's taking that to mean that she's going to be back in 28.
She's considering running for governor in California.
That one seems real to me.
And she'd probably win that.
100%.
She will absolutely win.
Probably win that.
Yep.
Because Californians are just butt stupid.
This is what happens, though.
She will win that.
You know what else will happen?
Andrew Cuomo will be mayor of New York City.
That will happen.
Almost certainly.
Right?
Yeah.
You're on that bandwagon too?
That's totally what I think is going to happen.
Yes.
Now, I've been saying that for months.
There was a real story that came out the other day that he was actually doing it.
We'll see if that winds up happening.
It sure sounds like it.
It sounds like he's on his way.
And they're like, oh, well, he might have to win that primary.
Oh, he'll win the primary.
That won't be tough for him.
Because I don't know if a lot of those Democrats have been to your website, the Cuomo website.
Either of them.
AndrewCuomo is awful.com.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
That would be one you should go.
Think or check out.
ChrisCuomoisworst.com.
Yes.
Either of those would do.
Both still active.
By the way, you can get 25% off.
What was the Glenn quote?
You just said it.
Glenn 25?
Yes.
Yeah.
If you go to GlennbeckMerch.com, there's a section for Glenn, of course, but also if you click around, you can get to the stew section, which has the Andrew Cuomo is awful merchandise, if you're interested.
And I think I'm going to be starting to sell a bunch of those again.
We sold a heck of a lot of them.
And then luckily for the people of New York, he went away.
And now he's back.
So congratulations for that.
That is very common, I think.
What happens to people?
And I think it's an interesting split.
Like the fallout when the blame comes.
Do you have this Kamala Harris?
What was the quote that you said?
Just begging.
She was just begging for Kamala not to run.
I'm looking forward here.
It was something like, she shouldn't.
Oh, yeah, okay.
I hope she doesn't.
And if she's relying on those same advisors that advised her in this cycle, that's who I would not listen to.
Please don't run.
Please.
She emphasized the please multiple times.
She's literally begging.
I love it.
But it's interesting.
I feel like that sentiment on the left is a bit of the minority right now.
Like it's interesting after every loss, there's that fallout and there's this like sentiment from the losing party, the Democrats here, as to how they feel about the candidate.
And I feel like Kamala has had a pretty light run of this so far.
I don't feel like the blame has fallen on her largely.
I think the bit's gone to Biden.
To Biden.
I think Biden's had a bigger part of that blame pie, which kind of, I don't know, he did step down.
I mean, they begged him to step down.
He's like, all right, I'll do it.
I mean, he did it under duress, certainly, but he did give up his presidency and his legacy.
He didn't give up his presidency technically.
One thing you should know is that he currently is the president of the United States still to this day, which is terrifying.
It really is.
But, you know, he was, yeah, he's the type of person who, you know, really wanted that job and wanted to run.
And I think in his heart of hearts believes he would have beaten Donald Trump.
I also believe that after January 20th, his I Told You So campaign will begin.
I think once he's no longer associated with her as vice president and there's been some time between the election and the inauguration of Trump, once that's over, I think he goes on to say, I told you, I told you she wouldn't win.
Are you trying to lay the groundwork for Biden 2028?
Is that what you're trying to do right now?
Because I am all in on it.
He'll only be 86.
Yeah.
There's no reason he shouldn't run.
And Trump will.
He's sharp as attack.
He's the best communicator in the White House.
You know, he's sharp.
He runs circles around his 25-year-old AIDS.
Yeah.
They can't keep up with him.
They can't keep up with the guy.
Yeah.
They can't keep up with him.
But like, I think Biden seems to be getting the rough part of this.
And the blame seems to be like he should have known not to run at all.
Which, of course, is 100% true.
However, nobody else on the Democratic side admitted that until it was way too late.
It's really their fault.
Because, you know, if everyone did what Dean Phillips did and was like, I'm running.
This guy's obviously going to lose.
If Gavin Newsom did that, if J.B. Pritzner did that.
Instead of acting like, no, Joe Biden is the best we've got.
Right.
That's what they did.
He's at the top of his game.
There's no reason not to vote for him.
They had a decision to make, and that was the one they made.
Unbelievable.
Which was to ignore what everyone knew.
Yeah.
And so this is on them.
It's not on him as much.
Incredibly stupid.
I mean, you know, look, the guy's an invalid.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, how are you?
I mean, that's not a stretch.
Yeah.
And if you look at like the way these elections happen, like I would say 2016, the blame went squarely on Hillary's shoulders.
It wasn't like, oh, you know, it was a very, unlike John McCain losing in 2008.
Everyone was like, well, of course he was going to lose to Barack Obama in that moment.
He had no chance.
Like that's what it.
Now, I, of course, had all sorts of problems with John McCain.
But if anyone gets blamed for 2008, it's Sarah Palin, right?
Sarah Palin gets this, like, oh, she was a joke.
That was a Hail Mary, right?
I mean, McCain had no chance of winning that election.
He picked Palin for a couple of weeks.
He was ahead.
I mean, again, it didn't work out.
And it was because he picked her.
It was because he picked her.
Because nobody liked John McCain.
Yeah.
No conservatives anyway.
No conservatives.
And it just didn't work at all.
But people don't really, I don't think, look back and blame John McCain for that loss typically.
Like the loss is more of like, oh, well, it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, Barack Obama.
You had the financial crisis going on coming out of Bush.
No Republican could have won in that circumstance.
And I think that's actually probably accurate.
Someone else may have done better than John McCain did.
But I think it would have been really hard to win that election in 2008.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, I think a lot of people look at Romney and be like, what the hell happened?
Like there was no love for Romney coming out of that election.
People were pissed off about it.
How did you lose that?
Things weren't going well.
You destroyed him in that first debate, and then you took your foot off the gas and blew it.
That's how I look back at that election.
Exactly.
It's not like, oh, Barack Obama was a genius and he ran a perfect campaign.
That's not how I look at it at all.
That feels like a blown election.
I think at some level, that's how people look at John Kerry on the left.
Like they should have won in 2004.
I think with Hillary, the blame went on Hillary.
That was like, how could you have lost to Donald Trump?
That was a, you didn't visit Wisconsin.
Like, that's the type of stuff that you remember from that election in a very close election.
That's how the left looks at that.
And they don't revere her.
They don't love when she goes on MSNBC and tries to hawk her books.
She doesn't get this glowing reception.
Kamala seems to be like, oh, it's not her fault.
Oh, gosh, the American people are too racist.
They're too sexist.
Like a lot of those excuses that Hillary kind of trotted out after her loss are being sort of accepted for Kamala, along with the, oh, well, she only had a couple of months.
And, oh, man, it was an impossible situation.
Joe Biden was so, you know, it was his fault.
She was put in a tough spot and she couldn't do anything about it.
I'm sorry.
This is the woman that picked Tim Walz.
Yeah.
Just that is disqualifying from all future government jobs, including dog catcher.
All the way down the list, every single role in the government, janitor at any government building.
If you thought Tim Walz was the right guy to be a heartbeat from the presidency, you're disqualified from everything.
And fortunately, a lot of people thought he was the right guy.
Fortunately, I don't know.
How?
I don't know.
The same people that think you can't decide what a woman is without a biologist around.
But they don't believe that, though, in reality.
This is the truth.
We don't actually have a Supreme Court justice that doesn't know what a woman is.
Katanji Brown Jackson knows what a woman is.
She just didn't say it.
She lied in front of the American people because she thought it was the right thing to say.
And I think a lot of that is the same with Tim Walz.
You know, like no one, they didn't think Tim Walz was the right choice.
What they thought was the Hamas wing of our party will protest us if we pick Josh Shapiro.
That's what happened.
But there were other options there, like Mark Kelly.
Why didn't they go with him?
He might have been the most scary of the three.
Yeah.
I mean, that was my initial thought too.
And then I watched Mark Kelly in multiple debates because I went back and kind of I did the film work.
You know, like you do that like you look on, you can look at the stats on the page and then you got to go do the film work.
I did that because I was trying to figure out who they were going to pick and I was convinced it was Mark Kelly on paper.
You got a swing state, a state that would have been, probably wins the election if you just win Arizona.
Right.
Because if they won Arizona, it would have been really difficult for Trump to win the election because it's probably a scenario in which maybe Nevada falls as well.
They don't need to hold all three of the blue wall states in that scenario.
I mean, Trump still could have won, but just Arizona may have been enough.
And when you look at it with Kelly, here's a guy who does everything that Kamala doesn't have, right?
Like here's a, you know, he's sort of, you know, quote, an astronaut, kind of an American hero profile, military experience.
Another big thing was it was a direct path to be able to talk about guns.
This is right after the assassination attempt on Trump.
One of the things they wanted to do was say that Republicans are violent and they want everyone to have guns and school shootings and all these things.
They wanted to go after that angle and paint the Republicans at the violent party.
Well, the Mark Kelly appointment sort of disables that a little bit because when you had the assassination attempt, it took that argument off the table for the Democrats.
They couldn't really argue, hey, when our donors are trying to assassinate our opponent, it's hard to say that they're the violent ones.
They attempted it anyway.
They tried their Hitler stuff.
Obviously, it just didn't work.
With Kelly, though, his wife was almost killed in a shooting, a mass shooting, in which they blamed Republicans, even though it had nothing to do with Republicans whatsoever.
There was at least the idea that, okay, hey, your guy almost got assassinated.
Well, my wife almost got assassinated.
It helped disable that whole argument.
Right.
And so I was kind of convinced of it initially.
Then I went back and watched him in action, and he's just not good.
He's not good in a debate.
He would have been, I mean, JD Vance would have politically slaughtered Mark Kelly on that stage.
That would have been ugly.
It was ugly with Walls.
It was.
It would have been really bad with Kelly.
He was.
He's just, you know, he's not smooth.
He's off-kilter.
He's just not good at that.
And so I think that's the reason he didn't get picked.
Shapiro, though, is the exact opposite.
He's really good in those moments.
He would have been a formidable challenger, and he will be in 2028.
Actually, really good because it happened in his state after the assassination attempt on Trump.
He was really good.
Shapiro's Smooth Political Moments00:05:56
Really good for both sides.
He didn't try to blame Republicans, right?
Donald Trump's rhetoric for his own assassination.
He's gently reasonable.
He was really reasonable and good.
He's had several of those moments in Pennsylvania.
Yep.
He's, I mean, he's a formidable threat going forward.
He might be the guy.
He might be.
Now, look, that doesn't mean, I don't know for sure that would have been enough to switch the election.
Yeah.
But would have been better than Wallace, that's for sure.
Which, by the way, I mean, in the middle of the election, she came out and leaked the story that she was overtired when she made the pick.
Why would you do that in the middle?
Not after the election, after they lost.
Ah, God, that was a terrible mistake.
I was really exhausted and overtired.
She said it during the election.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I mean, it explains it.
Yeah.
Either that or as we saw yesterday with the video they released, she may have just been hammered, just drunk off her butt.

Black Friday.
So two days from now.
A great, great Christmas CD album.
Digital copy, however, you get your music.
It'll be available that way on Friday.
Do you still call it an album or a CD, even though I don't even know?
I don't know what to call it anymore.
Because does anybody buy albums anymore?
Maybe.
I actually just did buy an album.
Did you really?
I just did buy an album.
Like an actual vinyl album or a CD?
I don't even have a thing to play on it, but I just don't know why.
Yeah, I don't either.
I wouldn't know what to do with the record anymore.
Do you know they've now passed?
I think it's CDs.
I think it's CDs.
Vinyl has passed in sales CDs currently.
What?
Yeah.
Again, it's ahead.
It's upcoming sales.
Because obviously forever.
It's hip for some reason.
Yeah.
Young people like the vinyl sound.
I don't understand it.
My daughter asked me for one for Christmas.
Well, that's what happens to vinyl.
Yeah.
When it's perfect, the real audio files say it's better than digital.
Is it though?
You know, I had a friend who had like, he spent like $5,000 on a stereo system with vinyl.
And he like recently or this is probably six or seven years ago now.
Yeah.
So fairly recently, though.
Yeah, fairly recently.
And he would buy the vinyl and he would sit in his apartment and like just listen to music and then tell me how like the quality I can't even listen to those mp3s.
I can't even read one of those guys, you know?
Yeah.
And he's like, oh, I can't even listen to that.
It's a terrible quality.
And then you got the lossless.
You got to listen to it on real vinyl like it was intended.
It's like, all right, I would, first of all, I'm not spending $5,000.
Secondly, they'd all be scratched in eight minutes.
That's what happens to them.
What happens?

The Democrat Blame Game continues.
Some blaming Joe Biden for not getting out of the race soon enough.
Kamala Harris's Camera Moment00:15:05
Others blaming Kamala Harris.
I think less so, but we're going to show you something interesting from her that might have had a little something to do with what happened in the election coming up in 60 seconds.
You know, when you're driving and your wife is sitting there right next to you telling you, ho, every little turn you missed or how you're going too fast or going too slow or yelling at you for dozing off for just a second.
And when you're driving, you can't be awake the entire time.
All of that's kind of annoying, but unfortunately, she can't use that high power perception at the gun range.
And although maybe you don't want her, if you're going to talk about her like this, maybe you don't want her necessarily too well trained with that firearm.
But you want to be able to actually protect yourself, protect your family, protect your Second Amendment rights.

You know, for years, we've been told that Joe Biden doesn't drink at all.
That's true.
We've disputed that somewhat because we found some evidence that, man, he sure looked drunk when he was out in his t-shirt singing about the villages.
The village.
America's friendliest.
Tell me he's not drunk.
The village.
It's been so long.
America's friendliest hometown.
The village.
Now, some, I won't name names, Glenn Beck, believe that that's not actually Joe Biden.
I remember seeing the video.
Yes.
It's not just audio, it's video.
Right.
That's Joe Biden.
Singing the villages and hammered.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Now, was his vice president hammered whenever the rest of that sentence is, the answer I think is yes.
She does seem to hit the sauce.
Yeah, she does.
And on many occasions, she seems to have been drunk.
Yeah, there's many stages of this.
Sometimes she's just a little buzz.
Sometimes she's just had a glass of wine, it seems like.
She does at times, though, seem like she's gone overboard.
And she's goofy, she slurs.
Yeah.
And yesterday kind of looked like that.
Yeah.
Check this out.
I just have to remind you: don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
You have the same power that you did before November 5th.
And you have the same purpose that you did.
And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
Oh, my gosh.
So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
That was all that was missing there.
It really looked like it.
Come on.
There's something's going on there.
Pat, I don't know if she's medicated, if she's drunk, but something's going on.
Why would they release that?
I don't know.
Because that's not, that's like a pre-recorded thing.
She could have done it again.
They could have said, you know what?
Honestly, you're not looking so great today.
Come on, let's do this tomorrow.
It was from the Democrats actually released it.
Yeah.
It's not like it was a hidden camera.
You know, like I could see that being, you know, coming out like the Washington Free Beacon hunts down behind the scenes footage of her butchering one of these statements.
No, that's actually what they released.
Yeah.
And I will say, listening to it doesn't quite do it justice.
You can hear her slur a couple of words there.
Her face like almost looks out of sync with what she's saying.
Yeah.
She looks just like you look, man.
When you've had too many, you've had four or five glasses of wine and then someone brings you on camera.
That's probably what you look like.
And, you know, that's obviously the best take they had.
Maybe you just don't record it that day.
Maybe you just don't release it.
Give her a day.
It's bizarre.
It's really weird.
Do they not are they all so drunk that they just don't realize she seems drunk here?
That's amazing.
Maybe as someone who has done multiple power hours, Stu Do Does Power Hour.
This is something we do as what we have done in the past as part of Stu Does America bonus programming where we will have a panel up and we will do an old school like college power hour.
If you're not familiar, you're probably a good person.
But it was one shot of beer per minute for an hour.
So you get to 60 shots of beer.
You know, again, a shot.
A beer doesn't feel like it would do anything, but I think you get to like seven and a half beers in an hour is what it winds up being.
So by the end of it, and I have a very low tolerance for, I don't do particularly well with alcohol.
I don't drink that often.
So when I drink like that, like I, it's not positive.
And I, when you do that, the funny part about it is about 25 to 30 minutes in, it gets really hard to talk about politics coherently.
And there's slurring, the points you make don't make any sense.
And then it just starts getting out of control to the point where you can't have a conversation.
You can't even, everyone's just being an idiot and you can't even have a normal conversation.
Yeah.
And you see that whole arc within one hour.
So they're fun.
I can't do them anymore.
I'm too old.
I've realized I just, the last couple, I did not feel good after.
And so I have not done one in a while.
But like I've been on camera in that state.
Now, intentionally, you know, it wasn't like I, you know, it wasn't like I was trying to throw down a box of wine and then getting on camera and trying to do things normally.
It was part of the show.
But like, it's hard.
Like you get halfway through a thought and you don't know where it's going.
You're kind of like really trying to almost slow down to be able to concentrate harder.
Concentrate harder, pronounce those words.
You're over-pronouncing sometimes.
You're slurring other times.
It's difficult, which is the comedy of it when you're going for comedy.
When you're vice president of the United States and wanted to be president and can't get through a statement, it's embarrassing.
It's at least embarrassing.
It's not funny.
No, it's terrifying when you have this guy as president, too.
Man.
Play it again and listen very carefully.
Now that you know what you're looking for and listening for, watch this again.
I just have to remind you: don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
You have the same power that you did before November 5th.
Which led to nothing, bro.
You have the same purpose that you did.
And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
Yeah, never.
That is Glenn Beck, circa 1993, early 94-ish.
That's interesting because in not just performance, but also in content.
Yes.
It's that overly positive nonsense that he says in this.
I love you, man.
I love you more than anything on this planet.
You have power.
You've always had.
You, you're more powerful than I am.
It's kind of really.
I will say this, though.
He never did that on the air.
He wouldn't, you know, he wouldn't have recorded that and then released it.
And he'll release anything.
The guy released it, you know, a video of himself after his hemorrhoid surgery.
Right.
He'll release almost anything.
Right.
And he wouldn't have released that.
No, he would not.
No, because that's embarrassing.
Right.
And we kept you.
It was interesting because, and we made this point at the time, Pat, that when we would watch a Joe Biden video and he would butcher it and he'd be, you know, like he'd look like he didn't know what he was talking about and he's saying the wrong words and he'd release it and you'd be like, good God, what were the other takes like?
Yeah.
This is the best they could get.
It really actually was one of the first things that made me think, this isn't just us making fun of an old guy.
There's something wrong here.
Because if you can't get a taped version of an important address out there that's high quality, you're incapable of doing it.
You can always re-record it.
You can wait another day.
There's a hundred different options.
If you can't nail that in that situation, there's usually a really big underlying problem.
Either you have a real jerk that's telling you, no, I'm not going to redo it.
Just put it out there, which is possible with both of them, frankly.
But also, it's probably somebody who's just incapable of nailing it or even coming close to nailing it.
You know, that is a scary sign for someone who's supposed to be leading a nation, Pat.
Yeah, so between her and him, those are the two people in the executive branch.
That's who we're counting on to lead this country.
It's really, it's terrifying, really.
It's, it's, I mean, 25th Amendment time.
They should both be 25th Amendmented out of office right now.
It's, it's unbelievable what's going on in the greatest country on the face of the earth.
And this is the leadership incredible.
At a critical time, too, by the way, when we're on the brink of war.
I mean, in Europe, they're gearing up for full-fledged war.
Britain and France are talking about whether or not they're going to send troops to Ukraine right now.
Are you kidding me?
I mean, we are teetering on the precipice and we've got these two buffoons in charge.
It is, it's, it's really frightening.
Wow.
All right.
Triple 8-727-BECK.
More coming up in one minute.
All right.
There are some people out there who just don't believe in half measures, like, you know, at all.
Everything they do, they give 100% of themselves to doing it.
Like that Kamala video.
You could feel it there.
She really gave it her all there.
She didn't have that ninth glass of wine before recording it.
And that is something you can really give her a lot of credit for.
Now, I don't know what Kamala's next gig is going to be.
Real estate agent's a possibility, I would say.
I wouldn't look for her to be featured on realestateagents I trust.com because, you know, first of all, you can't trust her.
We know that.
Secondly, she's completely incompetent in everything that she does.
So that's not the type of agent that gets on realestateagents I trust.com.
Glenn started this company over a decade ago and he saw how difficult it was to actually get a competent person you could really count on.
Well, realestateagentsitrust.com now does exist.
They've got the best agents, and they can make your experience actually a positive one.
Unlike whoever was recording that video with Kamala Harris, realestateagentsitrust.com, realestate agentsitrust.com.
This is a free service to you, by the way.
So just take advantage of it.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
10 seconds, station ID.
But I thought I'd ask you just the same.
What are you doing, New Year's?
New Year's.
No plans quite yet, actually.
888727 BECK.
Oh, it's a direct question to you, Pat.
Okay.
Oh, I guess I misunderstood.
Yeah, all right.
It's Pat and Stewart for Glenn today.
Where do you stand on the tariff situation right now?
There's a lot of talk about tariffs.
I kind of stand in the same place the markets stand in, which is kind of a shoulder shrug.
You know, I think Donald Trump really likes tariffs.
He's said it many, many times.
He is serious about implementing tariffs, but he's also serious about negotiating.
And I don't know what this is or where this lands.
Whether it's a negotiation tactic or if he's really going to impose massive tariffs like this.
Yeah.
Look, it would be very destructive to the economy if he hits this.
I know people like tariffs more than they used to on conservative media.
That's been a little bit of a change over the past few years.
I will say what it is, is a tax.
I don't like taxes.
I understand the point of these taxes.
And tariffs, if targeted, often can achieve their goals.
I think usually with more negative consequences than the upside, would be my assessment of the situation.
However, you can utilize them and they can do something.
One of the things they will do is raise prices on goods.
That is a certainty.
They did this with the washing machine example from a few years ago.
It's really clear.
If you've ever seen the chart of this, you could see the prices of washing machines come down, Then they just shoot up 20% and then continue on the same pace.
Oh, really?
It's as if you just added 20% to the cost of the washing machine, which, by the way, you did.
That's how it works.
And so, you know, the American people, if they want this, should recognize, you know, like we've been complaining a lot about inflation.
And, you know, the left made a lot of dumb arguments, and they love they've always loved tariffs.
This has always been a left-wing argument.
But, you know you're going to have some price increases there, that that that does happen?
Now, my guess is.
And the reason why I say shoulder shrug, because I really do care about tariffs um, but I, you know, I don't know like Donald Trump is negotiating right now.
He's not even in office yet.
Right, none of this.
There's no reason to panic over this.
Let's see how it plays out and see what he.
He wants to get something out of this, something important, border security.
Tariffs, Borders, and China00:05:24
I fully support him in that goal.
So let's see where this goes.
Uh, Shark TANK star Kevin O'leary was talking about tariffs yesterday and he had this to say, and I think the real tariff war is not going to be on Mexico or Canada.
It's focused on a cheater, a liar, a stealer.
Since 1999 when they came into the Wto.
This is a country not the people, but the leadership that just doesn't want to play by the rules, and I live it in my businesses every day.
I would like to go to Defcon One with China, tariffs 400.
I brought it up.
Yeah, bring the supreme leader to Washington or crush his economy until he has riots in the streets again.
We've had strategies to deal with China that don't.
Oh, absolutely.
We have one administration since 99 is dealt with.
I thought Trump was going to be tough on China.
He had four years.
I was going to say that this is time to really put so.
Is 35 percent tariff enough for China then?
Because he says it's going to be 10 percent higher than Mexico and Canada?
No, it's not enough.
Okay, what you have to do is target parts of their economy where there's a lot of workers.
Just for an example, let's say yoga mats.
Let's say we import a million yoga mats a month, all the yoga mat factories.
400 tariffs on yoga mats.
They all get unemployed, they go to the streets, they scream at supreme leader, i'm starving riots.
That's when he wakes up and says wow, I can't say right if he went to the streets and screamed.
And can I just ask?
No no, I do want to ask.
There are other people at home there wondering how this works.
When this happened last time around, when Trump launched tariffs against China, they retaliated.
Were they effective at politically targeting return tariffs like?
Was China able to say?
Well then, they had kind of a bs deal where they were going to buy more soybeans.
They lied, they cheated, they steal okay, stole.
I think we use my language, 400 percent tariff on China.
That's fascinating.
Yes again, the prices are going up at Walmart.
If that happens oh, going up just a bit.
I mean look I, I think there's a good argument to uh, the China one is much to me, much more uh, a much more salient, Salient argument.
I mean, I think you could just make that for national security concerns, you know, that you really don't want to be doing business with China at all, if it's at all possible, especially when, and I argued for this many times, but it's like, especially when you have a country like India, who is generally friendly toward us, who is generally, again, these are general terms, generally friendly towards a free market in comparison to a lot of these other large nations.
You need something to push back against another country that's got over a billion people.
I would love to just like embrace India more.
And we don't do, we haven't been doing all that much of that.
But China is an adversary.
Not doing business with them makes some sense.
You know, Mexico and Canada are, you know, are doing things that we don't like when it comes to the border.
And that's what I think Trump is doing here.
He's going to put some, look, the guy likes tariffs.
He's got to put tariffs on.
I don't think he's going to put 25% on all Canadian and Mexican goods.
I'd be surprised by that.
You think that's where this ends up, Pat?
No, I hope not.
I hope not because prices will go up.
They just will.
I just find it fascinating that Xi Jinping was just talking about what a free trade guy he is last week.
Really?
He's a free.
Wait, you're a free trade guy?
81% of the goods imported from the United States have tariffs assessed to them in China.
That's why we don't do as well in China as we do in other places because they cost too much to the Chinese people.
When they assess the tariff on our goods that we export to them, they become too expensive for the Chinese people to buy.
Well, okay, so the reverse is obviously going to be true if we do the same thing back to them.
Or will it work that they stop tariffs on American goods so that we stop the tariffs on Chinese goods?
I mean, I guess that's the theme.
That's the theory behind assessing these tariffs.
And you can get usually what happens is there's a threat of tariffs.
There's a negotiation.
Both sides declare victory.
Not that much changes.
That's typically what happens in these things.
And I don't know, that might happen again.
I think you can make the argument with China that it's just a bad thing for us to be doing business with them considering they seem to wish us dead often.
So whether it is good for the economy or not, it's bad when they're thinking.
They want us to be dead.
Generally.
Okay.
So you can make the argument that we shouldn't do business with them.
And if the mechanism to do that is a tariff that may wind up hurting our economy, there are, at times, reasons to make those decisions, right?
And you say, okay, well, I don't want to do business with them anymore.
And it's going to hurt our economy.
We're going to have to go through that pain.
There's an argument to be made for that.
I don't know if there's a great argument to be made for it with Mexico and Canada, though.
But hey, we will see.
I think at the end of the day, Donald Trump is not going to want to sink the economy and make the markets go crazy negative for his first two years in office.
So he'll find a way to do this.
This is what he does well.
This is his business.
This is negotiating.
Trump's Million Dollar Punishment00:15:00
Let me tell you about Police Sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald of the Temple University Police Department in Philadelphia.
Tragically, Christopher was fatally shot when attempting to arrest a robbery suspect, and he left behind a wife and five children.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in, and thanks to the generosity of donors just like you, they were able to provide Christopher's surviving family members a mortgage-free home.
Nothing can bring him back, of course.
But removing some of the financial stress from their lives in helping is, I mean, it's helping them with that home, it's a big, big deal.
Christopher will be remembered by many for his passion and the determination with which he made his own name in life while improving conditions for people in his community and Temple University stakeholders.
The foundation is doing so much good, but it needs help.
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes to its programs.
It's heroes like Christopher, who protect and serve our communities and our nation.
Help heroes like Christopher and their families donate just $11 a month to Tunneltotowers at t2t.org.
It's tea, the number2t.org.

888-727-BECK.
Yeah.
Hey.
By the way, did you know we were mentioning Kamala Harris and her drunkenness recently?
Yeah.
That's the only way you could blow through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks.
Yeah.
If you're spending 100 mil a week, I mean, you probably at least somewhat buzzed.
You would think so, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Especially for what she got.
Yeah, there was a big Democrat donor.
I can't think of his name right now.
I don't have the story right in front of me.
But he was, I mean, tens of millions of dollars in donations, and he's given hundreds of millions over the years.
And he said that because Kamala Harris blew through that kind of money in 100 days and lost, that should disqualify her from any office ever again.
I think that's a really good point.
If you can't win after spending $1.5 billion, then yeah, we don't want to hear from you anymore.
Really?
Bye-bye.
And you're going to stand by that.
Yeah, I would stand by that.
I'd go out on that really shaky limb and just stand there for a while.
See what happens.
One of the things I love about it is she spent and ran a campaign the exact way she would have governed.
Right.
She would have wasted your money.
She would have lit it on fire.
You would have gotten nothing out of it.
That's how she would have been as president of the United States.
She previewed it for you in 10 weeks.
Man.
Is that the truth?
Some incredible stats on this.
The biggest expense during the race was advertising.
Spent $494 million on advertising.
The total sum is when, including Biden's period as a nominee, closer to $600 million.
$2.5 million directed towards three digital agencies that work with online influencers.
How much was that?
$2.5 million.
Campaign spent around $900,000 to book advertising on the exterior of the sphere in Las Vegas.
Yeah, I saw that ad.
That was interesting.
Did that win any votes?
No, she didn't win the value.
Apparently not.
Apparently not.
There were drone shows in the sky before the debate in Philadelphia and at a Pittsburgh Steelers game in October.
The campaign spending decisions were documented in federal election commission records and interviews with 15 Harris campaign officials.
This is a New York Times quote, by the way.
Many of the financial figures in the article are from the latest campaign reports.
All told, Biden and Harris campaigns collectively raised about $2.15 billion.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Yeah.
The Oprah thing made news, right?
Right.
One particular Harris payment has drawn attention.
$1 million paid to Oprah Winfrey's direct.
What they're saying lately is that it was $2 million.
Two.
And an Instagram post, Ms. Winfrey said the company was paid to stage a live-streamed town hall in Detroit, providing the sets, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and even the chairs.
$1 million actually undercounts the full cost of the event, which ran to closer to $2.5 million, according to people briefed on the matter.
What's interesting about that in particular is their first excuse was actually true, which is she charged them a million dollars for this event.
If you put an event on like this, it's going to cost money, right?
And if you're the producer of the event, she would have spent this for another company, for example.
No one would have made a note of this if she just spent a million dollars on a production company for a couple of events.
It went to Oprah, so it was a big deal.
So what Oprah said correctly was, hey, well, campaign finance law requires us to charge real market value.
That's true because like if, you know, if you wanted to give away, you wanted to help a campaign, you could say, well, just use my stadium for free.
And that would be instead an in-kind donation.
And you can't do that.
Like if you are, or if you own a stadium, you're like, oh, just use mine.
Normally I'd charge a million dollars.
You take it for free.
Well, that's like donating a million dollars, right?
That's the way campaign finance reform or campaign finance law works as a regard to these payments.
So that's actually a legitimate excuse.
She has to charge market value.
The problem with now on their secondary excuse, when they're saying, well, actually, we only charged her a million and it really costs us 2.15.
Well, now you're breaking that campaign finance law.
Right.
You're now admitting that you gave a $1 million donation to the Kamala Harris campaign.
So in your efforts to win the PR war, you're actually hurting yourself potentially in a court.
Now, will they actually go after her for this?
I doubt it.
No, they won't.
They won't.
But in addition to all the money, look at the endorsement situation, too.
I mean, she had the combined efforts of Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Oprah, as we've mentioned, Eminem, Katie Perry, Will Farrell, Harrison Ford, J.J. Abrams.
I mean, nearly every single celebrity you've ever heard of was on her side and endorsed her.
And yet, what did it mean?
Well, we had somebody.
Did that sway anybody?
We had Scott Bayo.
Right.
Okay.
I think there was, yes, Scott Baio and...
I mean, we had Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan.
Okay, Hulk Hogan.
There you go.
He did tear his shirt off at the Republican convention.
That's so good.
That was huge.
It's worth a few thousand votes in Michigan.
Dana White.
Dana White.
Look, the question is no longer, do celebrities help campaigns?
The question now is do they hurt or do nothing?
Yeah.
I think those are the only two options.
Yeah.
If you're a Democrat and you're trotting these people out, I mean, Taylor Swift is like very successful in music.
But she's a one.
She is the one person I thought maybe she'd sway some really young voters.
She's a giant.
She's a giant zilch when it comes to endorsements.
But yeah, she didn't move the needle at all.
She didn't move the needle at all.
She couldn't even do it in a Senate race in her home state.
Right.
So, right, that's awesome.
I think that's good.
That's awesome.
By the way, part of the spending spree was a bunch of these celebrities.
Pricey Choice holding swing state rallies featuring star performers on the eve of the election, including Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, John Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Nevada, James Taylor, in North Carolina, and Katy Perry in Pittsburgh.
The singers themselves were not compensated, officials said, but the support staff was.
The overall bill for the Election Eve rallies exceeded the planned budget and is said to have topped 10 million.
I love this detail, though, Pat.
The cost overruns were partly because the Harris team built an entire rally venue at a park in Pittsburgh, only to be told by the Secret Service that the site could not be properly secured.
They had to rush to take it down and rebuild a second venue.
Oh my gosh.
Now, there's lots of venues out there, Pat.
You could just use an existing venue and plan for it.
But no, they tried to build one from scratch, screwed it up, and then had to rebuild it.
Again, she ran as she would have governed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they're claiming that they didn't pay any, because the big rumor was that they paid Beyonce $10 million.
They're saying that's not true.
That's not true.
All right.
It still didn't work.
No.
Whether they paid her $10 million or zero, it didn't work.
Her endorsement went nowhere.
Just like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga and Oprah.
Nobody cared.
And it's important to note it wasn't just lavish spending on nonsense.
It was also bribes.
And MSNBC has now acknowledged this, but some media allies of Ms. Harris were also paid.
Areva Martin, who hosts a talk show, was paid $200,000 as a media consultant as she went on Battleground State tour in October.
Roland Martin, who hosts his own streaming program and runs a media company called New Vision Media, received $350,000 in September for a media buy that he said was for advertising.
Ms. Harris campaign also made two $250,000 donations to the National Action Network, the organization led by Reverend Al Sharpton.
Now, these, of course, were in advance of an interview Al Sharpton did as part of his programming on MSNBC.
MSNBC now is admitting that and saying that that was not a good idea.
It's unclear whether he's going to get punished for this.
Wow.
Now, normally when Al Sharpton gets punished, there's a bunch of people in front of your building screaming that you should be fired.
So normally he doesn't get punished for things like this.
However, MSNBC in the past has punished Keith Olberman and Joe Scarborough for making donations when they weren't supposed to as personalities.
But I mean, now no one's going to say that Kamala Harris would have had a difficult interview if she did not donate.
But like, you're not supposed to be bribing the hosts pre-interview.
Incredible.
It's Kamala Harris, right?
Yeah.
We should also note that Oprah, who also got paid this million dollars that we talked about, also did an interview with her.
Also, a softball interview.
A softball interview.
So, yeah, I mean, it's fascinating.
Would you say, Pat?
Because they really did change tactics late in the campaign and say, okay, now we got to do a bunch of interviews.
They all went badly.
One of which on the view, a very friendly environment, led to, I think, the biggest moment of the entire campaign when she was asked, it was impactful.
What would you change that Joe Biden did?
She said, I can't think of anything.
Yeah.
From a, and Sonny Hostin just talked about this in the aftermath.
She thought she was lobbing her softball.
She admits.
Admits.
She thought it was a softball question.
And it was.
Everyone knows it's coming.
Yeah.
Here's a chance in a friendly environment where we're all just shake our heads yes.
Hit this out of the park.
What you're going to change because obviously some things are bad for people.
You haven't even thought of this?
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, it was like she hadn't even thought of it before.
Because she couldn't think of a thing.
And I really do think the reality of the situation is everyone else who was interviewing her on the left were in on the game.
They knew, don't ask her any tough questions.
Lead her exactly into the talking points.
Give her the excuse in the question.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, how the border situation, people are saying this is out of control.
Now, I know you guys have done incredible, had incredible progress on this.
Right.
And Donald Trump was hurting all of these families.
What is this truth about the border?
Right.
Give her the answer and the question.
You saw that with Stephanie Rule on MSNBC.
All these people on the left who were, we're all in on this game.
We're going to keep her out of the media this entire time.
When we roll her out to the media, we're going to bring her to friendly sources that all understand she can't do this.
They all understand in reality, she's a moron and will never be able to answer a tough question.
So give her all the answers.
Make this as easy as possible.
The problem is the people on the view are too dumb.
They're too dumb to know that was the game.
They believe their own nonsense from social media.
Oh, she's actually brilliant.
Oh, she's actually amazing.
They brought her on thinking they could have a normal conversation with her and blew up her campaign and got Hitler elected.
I love it.
That's the best.
I love that.

You know, hindsight is always 20-20, and that is especially true with investing.
Oh, almost 30 years ago now, I bought my first gold with Lear Capital, and that investment has quadrupled.
Now I wish I really would have spent some more on that and not listened to all the naysayers.
You know, I'm all about education, and that's why I choose Lear.

There's even a section on how to protect your IRA and 401k.
After reading this report, I urge you to buy gold.
Call Lear.
And if you already own gold or silver, you might want to consider getting some more or consider gold for the first time.
Lear is the company that I trust to help you secure the one hard asset that has stood the test of time.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.
Let's go to Laura in Maine.
Hey, Laura, you're on the Glenbeck program with Patton Stu.
Hello.
I'd like to talk about the tariffs that you were discussing.
Sure.
I retired from customs.
I started on the Southwest border, and then I went into trade when I went up to Houston.
And I have a question for you all.
Okay.
The War of 1812.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a short question, but is there more to it than that?
What funded the War of 1812?
Aliens.
They came down from outer space with space dollars.
And they ⁇ we all know that tariffs were a huge part of our economy back then.
Well, then, yes.
That was before income tax.
Yes.
Right.
And what funded the Louisiana purchase?
Well, I think you think you have a better point than you do here.
One of the issues with it, and we, by the way, talked about this at length when Trump was talking about his tariff policy, which is if it's combined with eliminating the income tax and shrinking the government by 60 and 70%, there's a lot you can do positively with tariffs.
Unfortunately, what we're seeing here is the possibility of these things coming in with the current structure.
That's sort of the issue.
So you don't want the tariffs and the income tax.
It was a good try, though.
Yeah.
I think on a Thanksgiving week, it was a good try.
It was a good try.
Hi.
Who's up next?
We've got Jim in Iowa.
Hey, Jim, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Yeah, how are you doing?
I was watching Mark Levin's, or listening to Mark Levin last night, and Pam Bonnie was on there talking about revoking the visas of foreign students that were out protesting for Hamas.
And I'd like to see him take that one step further and take all the American students that were out protesting for Hamas and put them on the terror watch list.
And more importantly, put them on the no-fly list.
Yeah, you'd think like when you support an international terrorist group that there'd be a little more attention than just because what we've really had here is it's mean for them to lose their jobs.
It's mean for an employer to see them at a pro-Hamas rally and be upset about that and no longer want them employed.
It's mean to have their names or pictures put out there because it could hurt them in the future.
When, you know, the real pain seems to come from like October 7th style attacks done by the people they're supporting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And none of that's going to happen.
They won't be on a terror list or a no-fly list or any kind of list because we don't function that way.
But, you know, there's a case to be made.
It's pretty despicable what they've been doing on these college campuses in support of Hamas over our ally, Israel.
It doesn't make any sense, but it'd be nice if these kids were actually taught things in school.
Really?
Yeah.
Like, how did any of this stuff in the Middle East develop?
Where did Israel come from?
Was a Palestinian state ever instituted?
Was it ever suggested?
Maybe you should look into all those things and understand what's going on there.
It's gonna survive.
Stand up straight and hold me right.
It's a new day on time to ride.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stew, AAA, 727BECK.

It's Pat and Stu, and we have a Border Czar now.
I don't know what the actual title is because we don't actually have czars in this country.
So I'm not sure what his actual title is, but it's apparently outside the cabinet, right?
Right.
It's not really, he's not someone who's going to have to be confirmed.
Right.
It's some, it's, it's someone who's going to be he's going to have to work within the existing structure to get the things he wants done.
But that's okay.
That can be a powerful position.
The Doge thing is the same way.
Like, it's not even really a thing.
Right.
It's just like, okay, well, it's an advisory sort of council or department.
Yeah, border czar, like when we say Kamala was appointed border czar, I mean, that's not an official position.
Of course not.
She was given the responsibility as vice president, which she failed miserably at very badly.
I don't think Tom Homan is going to.
Man, he doesn't take a bunch of nonsense.
And he's out talking to people about some of the plans, and mass deportation is one of the things.
And Casey Hunt was just all excited about what he was saying on CNN.
And so she had some things.
She had some things to say about Border Czar Tom Holman.
Be clear.
Here's what he said.
There is going to be a mass deportation because we just faced a mass illegal immigration crisis on the border.
It's a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal anti-immigration authorities.
Don't test us.
So she responds.
President-elect Donald Trump's new border czar, Tom Holman, laying out his day one plans for the new administration.
Homan traveled to Texas on Tuesday, meeting with Governor Greg Abbott and delivering a message to Texas National Guard members.
Texas government leaders are moving to get more aggressive on immigration in recent days.
They have ordered more barrier buoys onto the Rio Grande River, like the ones seen last year.
The Biden administration had sued to get those barriers removed.
Not every local leader is signing up for the promises of cracking down on migrants.
Denver's mayor says his city would resist extreme measures, drawing the ire of Tom Holman this week.
If they want to focus on violent criminals, we would be happy to help support pursuing, arresting, and deporting them.
If they are going to send the U.S. Army or the Navy SEALs into Denver to pursue folks to pull off the job at hotels or restaurants where they're working or pull kids off the soccer field, I think we will see Denverites and folks around the country who will nonviolently resist that.
Remember when Tom Holman and Donald Trump suggested Navy SEALs would be sent into Denver to remove kids from soccer fields?
Remember that?
Remember that promise?
I think SEAL Team 6 specifically was.
Really?
Yeah, I think that's the one set aside to get the kids off the soccer fields.
I think that was the main thrust of his border policy.
I don't remember that.
You don't remember?
Really?
Was it specifically tied only to soccer?
It was only soccer.
Yeah, they weren't going to worry about lacrosse or football or basketball.
Just soccer.
That makes sense.
And it was specifically Navy SEALs because only they could find the illegal kids on the soccer fields and remove them quickly.
It seems like an inefficient use of Navy 6.
Yeah, normally you'd be sending them into the Middle East to take care of terrorists.
This time they were just like, what about soccer fields?
Yeah.
And what do we send special forces to remove kids from soccer fields?
What about that?
This is so stupid.
The argument is so nonsensical.
It's hard to believe.
Really?
That's what you're going to.
Yeah.
I. Man.
Well, it's funny because.
You're the mayor of a major city, and that's your thing.
But this is common, I feel like, in elections these days.
Call it the Cameron DS principle, which is she did this back in 2004 before the election and went on Oprah Winfrey and said, if George Bush is re-elected, rape will be legal.
Oh, my gosh.
And it's like, there's just these fantasies, these weird dystopian fantasies that exist in the mind of the left.
Yeah.
That if they lose an election, like these things will happen.
They never do.
My understanding, rape's still illegal?
Am I correct on that, Pat?
I think you are.
Yes.
Okay.
In most of the 50 states.
Really?
Yeah.
Probably not in like those red states.
No, probably not.
No.
I mean, probably not in like Texas.
No.
Okay, there.
Mayor, we agree on one thing.
He's willing to go to jail.
I'm willing to put him in jail.
I love that, though.
He doesn't care what these buffoons are saying.
He doesn't care.
But Casey Hunt's reaction to this is amazing.
Whew, Mike Douglas.
I mean, look, it's very clear the country is very unhappy with the way immigration has been playing out.
They're concerned about the security at the border.
Where do you think the Trump administration and how can they stay or can they stay with Americans on that without, I mean, some of the measures they're talking about, I mean, that language of like, if you harbor somebody, we will find you.
You know, if the Denver mayor wants to go to jail, I mean, that has some significant and more extreme echoes than some of what we heard from the Trump campaign on the trail.
There are several stages to kind of arresting, and I should choose a different word, but arresting immigration at the border.
One of which that worked incredibly well in the early days of the first Trump administration was the rhetoric.
And this is going to be my theme, I think, for today, was the rhetoric around the border.
So Tom Holman's very strong language is going to restrict and impede the number of people that are actually flooding the border.
You're saying it's going to discourage people from trying to.
Totally discourage that.
And it's already started to.
It's already started to work.
Because in some of the caravans that were massing and heading toward the border, once Trump was elected, many of them, thousands of them, turned around and went back home because they know they're not going to be welcomed here with open arms by the Trump administration.
And so some of them are going to try to sneak in real quick before he's inaugurated, but others realize the futility of it.
I mean, the rhetoric helps.
It does.
It just, it makes a difference.
When you're sending the message to Mexico, Central, and South America, and all over the world, that, yeah, we'll tolerate it.
We'll tolerate illegal aliens flooding across our border.
We're not going to do that much.
And if you just want to step across the border and say, asylum, we'll keep you here.
And, you know, maybe you'll show up for a court appearance in 2035, but don't worry about it.
I mean, that has one effect.
That has the effect of people deciding to come here illegally.
The opposite of that is also true when you talk tough about the border and that we're not going to tolerate it.
And if you want to come to America, we welcome you if you do it legally.
That has the opposite effect of the border being deluged with illegals coming across it.
Yeah.
Works every time.
Every single time.
Everyone knows this, right?
Yes.
If you are a, if, if we say, hey, Pat, let's have a bunch of friends over.
And you know what?
I don't want Glenn there.
I don't want him there.
And we say it on the air over and over again.
And we tell all of our friends, you know what?
Just don't invite Glenn.
Don't let him know that we're having this party.
He's probably, now, Glenn might not be the best example of this, but he's probably going to get the hint that he's not welcome at the party.
And probably not come.
Yeah.
That is, you can't, it's not a long-term solution.
I will say, like, what it is, is it's a partial short-term solution.
Just tone 25%, 50% of this over a year.
Yeah, maybe.
You know, I mean, I don't know that it's, it's, because if you don't back it up with action, and this kind of happened in the first Trump administration, right?
He came out with the tone.
They basically completely knocked down the numbers on illegal immigration.
And because, you know, he didn't have the numbers he needed in Congress to get a lot of the stuff he wanted done, eventually they were like, okay, well, seems like we can still get in there.
There's sanctuary cities.
You know, I don't know what else is going on.
So we can probably make it.
And toward the end, those numbers started to pop up a little bit.
Tone doesn't solve it forever.
But if you just say, hey, we don't want this to occur, you're not going to be rewarded with this.
It's not going to be a slap on the wrist.
You're not going to get away with it.
We're not going to release you into the country and let you live here for five years.
If you just tell them that, generally speaking, it will improve the situation dramatically.
Yeah.
And eventually we're going to have to build the wall.
Yep.
And we're going to have to increase border agents at the border.
And we're going to have to do a lot of different things in order to really get a handle on the problem.
But the rhetoric is a good start.
It really is.
It sends the signal that we're not playing this game anymore.
And then the wall will show them that, yep, they're not playing that game anymore.
Why We Must Build the Wall00:03:10
They built the wall.
You know, we only built, I don't know, I think it was 2 or 4% of brand new wall.
I mean, we repaired sections of the fence and the wall.
But for new construction of wall along the border, I think it was 4%.
Now, if you increase that greatly during the next Trump administration, that's going to make a huge difference.
It just is.
And by the way, supported overwhelmingly by the American people.
A new poll just came out asking, do you support the idea of a wall on the border?
And it was 59% supported it.
34% did not.
So a plus 25 for the wall right now.
Do they have what that used to be?
They didn't have it in the story that I saw.
I think that's a big change.
Yeah, it's up quite a bit.
I mean, look, when you let millions of people cross the border and murder joggers in parks for four years, generally speaking, the numbers are going to change a little bit.
I think that's a big part of it.
And of course, there's also probably a little bit of a honeymoon period for Trump right now.
I mean, it doesn't, you know, that's natural.
I mean, Trump's approval rating when he was president really never crossed 50%.
Everyone knows what to look for in a security action.
And over 50% really didn't happen during the Trump administration the first time.
He's over 50 right now.
He's at like 54% approval rating.
That's only really happened before he took office in 2016.
You get a little bit of that.
Even Joe Biden was over 50% for a very short time as he started his presidency, and then it was sunk down in the 40s.
So this is somewhat typical.
You get a nice little honeymoon period, which is good.
I think the American people get a little bit of optimism.
Maybe something good things are about to occur, but that does not necessarily explain a 59% border wall support, including, by the way, plus seven for both black and Hispanic voters.
Plus seven for black and Hispanic voters.
We're told that like Hispanics, they don't want that.
They don't want border security.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, I kind of think they do.
I think they're law-abiding citizens just like you, Whitey.
Right.
I mean, I love the white liberal elite.
They're just like, oh, gosh, well, these.
Let me tell you what they think.
Black people can't get IDs, but Hispanic people want the border open so that anyone that looks like them can flow across the border.
That's racist.
That's what that is.
You're summarizing what I would call very negative characteristics, the inability to get a license.
Negative characteristics over the course of a race.
You're basing this on color of skin.
That makes you a racist.
That's what that makes you.

Texas unveiled its newly acquired border ranch, which has been offered now as the site of detention facilities to help the Trump administration with proposed mass deportations.
Texas Land Commissioner Don Buckingham said the state's looking to identify additional land to aid in the federal effort.
So unlike the mayor of Denver, they're actually helping the federal government with this problem rather than trying to hinder the federal government with this problem, rather than trying to make it worse.
If the Trump administration thinks it'll be helpful, we want to be good partners with them, she said.
The effort known as the Jocelyn Initiative is named for Jocelyn Nungare, the 12-year-old Houston girl who was killed in June.
Two Venezuelan immigrants who were in the country illegally have been charged with that murder and assault.
That's happened several times across the country.
She said, we will continue to fight to ensure that our state remains a beacon of hope, justice, and dignity for all who call Texas home.
This is exactly the way we should be responding to this issue.
And if it had been Kamala Harris who was in office or about to become the president of the United States, people wouldn't be responding this way.
It would be more of the same.
It would be these caravans that are massing to come across the border, and they'd be pouring across our border.
The drugs would be pouring across the border.
The criminal illegals would be pouring across the border.
The potential terrorists, how many terrorists came in the last year?
I don't even remember the statistics, but it was in the hundreds.
People who are on the terror watch list, people who are coming from countries that are filled with people who hate America.
What's the right number on that?
I mean, a lot of times you have a target level of terrorists for terrorists.
Do you want it to be like 1,000?
Do you want it higher?
What do you call it?
I'm a little picky on that score.
Okay.
I would call it, I would, my preference would be for it to be a bit lower than a thousand.
Have you calculated the exact number, though, so we can?
I have.
I've taken the time to do that.
Let me just bring down, just carry the wine.
A none.
A zero would be a really good number.
That would be the ideal number of terrorists crossing our border illegally.
Zero, none.
Really?
Yeah.
Now, how would you do such a thing, though?
There's no path toward lowering that number, right?
Well, there is.
And one of the ways I would do it is I'd build a wall.
Okay.
And I would increase the number of border agents at the border.
Really?
Yeah.
If it were me, I'd probably put military personnel at the border, but it's not me.
People would be screaming, Passekomitatus.
If I did that, of course.
He used Passecomitatus of War of 1812.
You know that?
Pashi Comitatus.
Now, but the problem, I mean, and I know, I understand maybe you don't follow the news all that closely, Pat.
Right.
You know, maybe you don't.
I don't.
I'm not a newsman.
You're not a news guy.
You're not that kind of guy.
But like, how are you going to have this border security you speak of when you need to forgive student loans?
When you need to have an eviction moratorium, right?
Yeah, here's what I would do.
Okay.
I wouldn't forgive student loans.
That's just, again, I'm going to say, go ahead and pay your debt.
Wait, you're saying that people, I want to make sure I understand your position here.
Okay.
And I hope the American people are hearing this.
You're saying that individuals that make individual decisions to take out student loans for college should be, in your words, required to pay those loans back on their own.
As they agreed to do when they took the loan out.
I was going to say that.
You just said it anyway.
Wow.
That is quite the position, Pat.
Isn't it?
Wow.
What a hateful.
Hateful, yeah.
Wait, wait, hold on.
What if these are students of color?
Yeah, they have to pay them back.
They also pay them back.
You think someone with a different skin color than you can have paid their own debts back?
I do.
Yeah.
I really believe that.
I really believe that.
That's a fringe opinion, Pat.
Isn't it, though?
It is.
I suppose you think there's not a genocide going on with Israel against the citizens of God.
You're exactly right.
Wait.
Yeah.
There is not a genocide going on.
And I think you should probably look up the word genocide, see what it actually is.
I'm pretty sure what it means is the thing I don't like.
What it means is anything the opposing party does.
That's what it means.
We all know what genocide is.
That's been covered many, many times.
It has.
Wow.
Radical on the air here.
Yep.
That's sad.

Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.
I thought you were going to sing there for a second.
Apparently not.
Felt like it was coming on.
Felt like vocals were about to happen.
Did it not?
Maybe it's just me.
But this is the karaoke version, so you can see.
Oh, okay.
All right.
So you almost tricked me.
I was about to start singing.
We were just a couple seconds off.
I mean, I will also get Cheyenne Grace's album, but I would definitely buy yours.
Would you?
Yes.
Yeah, I would.
I'd buy the physical copies.
I'd get several extras just to make sure that.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Nice.
I'd get it on vinyl.
I would argue this would be something that maybe next Christmas you could give along with every box of Kexi cookies that you purchase, you get a free Pat Gray holiday CD.
I think people would love to.
People would love that.
They'd love that.
They'd eat it up.
They're huge.
It's a good idea.
It's a good idea.
I'm just saying, Kexi.com.

888-727-B-E-C-K.
Let's go to Joel in Maine.
Hey, Joel.
You're on the Glove Deck program with Patton Stu.
Good morning, gentlemen.
You guys are having a little fun over there this morning, so I figured I wanted to be part of the party.
Oh, good.
All right.
So we were talking about the international lack of understanding for the world, accountability, and free loans and so on and so forth.
But I have an interesting thought that's quite provocative and likely won't earn me any friends.
And before I make my thought, let me say I'm a second generation American married to a Native American woman.
Okay.
The SBE, the Disadvantaged Business Association nonsense that is supported by the government is, in my viewpoint, government-supported racism.
How is that?
Okay, so let's look.
People say women don't do what men do and women can't make.
Okay, excuse me.
I'm sorry.
I thought we have a female vice president.
I thought we have a female, a historic female Secretary of State, so on and so forth.
I will say that Kamala Harris's job might not be the best thing to talk about when you're talking about female competence.
Fair enough.
I mean, unfortunately, I have to go with Harris and Clinton, but give a guy a break.
But anyway, then comes the, oh, well, black men can't achieve what they can't achieve.
That's the farther statement from the truth.
Number one, Barack Obama reached the highest office in the United States, and years ago I worked for a highly competent, very successful, non-college-educated colored man who was a very dear friend of mine today.
The problem I have is this, is why is it that we have no, people want equality?
Okay, how about let's talk about equality?
Let's get rid of the, oh, well, we need to have so many applicants of this and black advantage-based college scores and disadvantaged businesses.
You know, that's 100% nonsense tonight.
You're talking to an entrepreneur.
How is it that because somebody has a different color of skin than I do, they have more access to federal contracts?
How is it that it's okay for them to do that?
Now, here's the problem.
Who supports that?
That's generated and maintained by the United States government.
So I would like to send a direct message to Mr. Musk and Mr. Viveks to Ms. Robin Swami saying, hey, guys, that's the first thing that should go.
Again, remember, men, I'm married to a Native American woman who's a veteran.
You're going to tell me that if I didn't want to cash and play those cards and put my wife's name on my business, who is a veteran, a woman, and a Native American, that I wouldn't get federal contracts up to Wazoo?
I refuse to do it.
I won't do it.
Good for you.
Good for you.
I mean, I think that is this.
The problem with your approach here is they have to admit their entire worldview is false.
And they're not going to do that, right?
They have to admit that the evil white man is not constantly oppressing everybody.
And they can't say that.
It's their entire worldview.
It's difficult for people to give up on that.
And to admit that maybe, just maybe Native Americans and black people and women can just do all the things that everyone else can do is a step too far for them.
You have to let go of the entire victimization culture in order to make that happen.
And they're not going to, like you mentioned.
They're not going to.
Canon Georgia, welcome.
Hello.
Hey.
It's a pleasure to speak with you, gentlemen.
You are very, very fine Americans, and you have made everybody's thoughts in the right direction.
I've got a question for you.
The underhandedness of the Democrats has been very noticeable to everyone.
And I was wondering, is there a possibility that our vice president can pull the 25th Amendment, knocking, you know, who out of the shot for one day at the end before turning over power, making her the president of the United States, which would be the first woman of color.
And that would go down in the history books forever.
She would have no power to do anything on the last day, but that would make her, that person, the president, and move our current president elect into the next number on the list.
48 at that point.
A lot of people are concerned about that, Ken.
A lot of I could call something that on my show.
Would you care?
Not necessarily because it wouldn't do anything.
Except she would be, I guess, the first woman, black woman, Indian woman president.
Right.
So they'd get that history.
So she gets to check little intersectional points.
I don't think that it's worth doing that.
Yeah, I don't think so either.
I think so.
I thought there was a slight chance, honestly, before the election that that could happen.
And I think that honestly would have made a lot of sense for them if they would have had him drop out and her step into the presidency then, right after the debate, let's say a few weeks after the debate.
You could say, okay, this is a real health problem.
He's really in trouble.
She's going to step in.
She's going to make a difference.
It would have given her some, maybe some incumbency.
Maybe people saw her in that position.
It might have improved her standing a little bit.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I mean, again, it would have been a Hail Mary, but they were in a position where Hail Mary was, you know, not a terrible option.
I think that was part of the deal, though, that he stayed.
Totally.
I'm going to stay and finish my term.
And so I'll drop out of the race, but I'm staying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Two things about that.
But if it was going to happen, it was not going to happen with the 25th Amendment.
That's not how that would have happened.
It would have been him willingly resigning.
It would have given him these little points for, you know, you get the intersectional points, and it would have screwed up all the merchandise for Trump, like because he's got all the 45-47 merch and it would have had to be 45-48.
So I could see them doing it just to screw with him on that.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't make, it doesn't really do anything.
It would just feed into the fact for Kamala that she's a DEI candidate, right?
I mean, if she's handed the presidency to, she's already handed the vice presidency.
She was handed the nomination.
She's been handed things her entire life.
Then she gets handed the presidency.
I mean, it would fit.
But I don't think it's going to happen.
So priceless.
The big deal they made out of democracy, they screamed about it at the top of their lungs, and then they went the opposite direction to make her the nominee.
They shut down democracy to make her the nominee.
They destroyed their own primary.
Incredible.
Just absolutely.
And look, it was probably the right choice.
Like, you're not of the opinion that Biden would have won, right?
No.
Do you think as I do that he probably would have lost by even more?
I think so.
I think so, too.
Yeah.
Now, he doesn't think that.
But to open it up at the convention, wouldn't an open convention have made sense?
I think it would have because she's terrible.
And everybody knew she was terrible.
Everybody knew she was not popular.
They didn't like her as vice president.
Now they're going to elect her president?
Do you think anyone could have won?
No, none of the Democrats because who would have the ones they talked about were Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsome.
Could either of those two have won?
I don't think so.
They both got terrible records, especially Newsome in California.
I mean, you just run against his record and you win.
And I think that'll be the case anytime he runs for president.
I just don't see him ever winning a national election.
I don't think he can.
I don't think he can.
He's just been too terrible in California.
I mean, Californians apparently love him.
They keep electing him, but nobody else does.
I don't even know.
They almost recalled him.
They don't love him.
It's true.
He's just there.
That's the thing with Kamala.
If she runs for governor, she'll raise a ton of money and she'll probably design it there.
Right.
She's leading all the primary polls for 2028, and I think they should do it.
I mean, run her back.
They work for Trump.
Right?
Like, you know, he lost an election, came back the next time and won.
It probably will work for you, too.
Try it.
Give it a try.
Give it a world.
Do it.
What the heck?
Do it.
What was it?
41 to 8?
I think.
I mean, that's just name recognition, though.
They're coming off of an election.
I can't imagine she'd be the actual favorite for long if she got back in the race.
If she was running for 2028, she might lead the pre-election polling, but I don't think she'd win the primary, do you?
Somebody would beat her.
I have to believe.
I don't know who it is at this point, but that's the thing.
They're going to have to have a Bill Clinton situation where somebody comes from nowhere to win this thing.
Because nobody likes the current possibilities enough to nominate them, I don't think.
Yeah, I mean, I think we discussed Shapiro earlier.
I think he'll have a possibility.
Maybe.
I mean, I don't know that he's a great candidate.
He hasn't been tested at this level, but I think he's got the potential to be a candidate that would be dangerous.
You know, people talk about Gretchen Whitmer.
I don't see it.
The only one that would be scary if they could convince her, and that's Big Mike Michelle Obama.
Not this again.
Are we still going down this stupid road with Michelle Obama?
I mean, I'm so frustrated.
If Joe Biden would just stay in this race, I would have had 3,000 of Glenn's dollars.
Stupid Joe, which, by the way, did nothing for him.
He's still getting blamed.
He stepped down and he's still getting blamed for it.
There was no upside of him jumping out of this race.
I mean, maybe they won a couple of Senate races they wouldn't have won if he stayed in.
Maybe that's it.
So he had to stay in all the way to the election in order for you to get the, to win the bet.
To win the bet.
And for him, it had to be where Biden dropped out, which, again, you could, I could have definitely seen that happening.
My confidence, though, was both him dropping out and Michelle becoming the nominee, I thought was really unlikely, which it was.
It did not occur.
Fortunately, she just hates America too much to run.
I think that's a job she doesn't want.
And they're doing too well now.
They're not going to, she's not going to ruin that.
They're 100 millionaires now.
She doesn't want that.
I will say, too, I've thought about this a little bit with these camp, these appointments that Trump is making because I think at the end of the day, you're right.
Her life is better now than it would be as president in the United States.
Yeah.
Especially with someone, a losing candidate, if she were to happen to have lost.
But I think about all these people that Trump is naming.
And because Trump is so media aware, he's naming a lot of people who have media experience.
Trump's Media-Aware Cabinet Picks00:04:29
He's naming a lot of people who have really freaking good lives to these jobs.
I'm surprised this.
It's amazing.
What's the incentive?
I'm not in his life.
I don't know what it's like, but what on earth would make you, if you're Dr. Oz, to leave this celebrity doctor life to be the head of Medicare and Medicaid?
It's like an actuarial job.
That's not a good gig.
Not at all.
Right?
Yeah, I was surprised too.
You know, I mean, I don't, you know, there's a lot of people.
And there's several people like that who are billionaires.
Yeah.
Who are taking positions that I wouldn't want.
I mean, I'm glad they're patronizing.
They're doing it if they're, if they're good at it.
Like, you know, Pete Hegseth.
Yeah.
Like, Pete Hegseth has a good gig at Fox.
Like, he could, you know.
Probably making seven figures.
Yeah.
Got a great gig, a high-profile life, can do things that he wants to do.
Get some chicks.
I wasn't going to go there.
I don't know why we would need to do something like that.

Over 900 would-be air traffic controllers were denied the opportunity because they had the wrong skin color.
