  Glenn Beck is here with a plethora of government secrets to unpack.
• 0:23
  It's going to be a lot of fun.
• 0:25
  We also,
• 0:25
  uh,
• 0:26
  might finally be seeing some sanity in the wide world of sports.
• 0:28
  We will take a look
• 0:29
  at the latest bill in the House.
• 0:31
  We're going to start by doing Biden's.
• 0:33
  Shots
• 0:34
  volume 2.
• 0:35
  We did this with commonless flip flops because we want to just
• 0:38
  have a catalog of all these things that were going on,
• 0:41
  and Biden
• 0:42
  is ending his administration
• 0:45
  just getting as many shots as he can in
• 0:47
  things that will delay Trump's
• 0:49
  agenda,
• 0:50
  things that will reverse his agenda,
• 0:52
  he will block him from doing things that are important for the country,
• 0:55
  all of the highest priorities you can imagine.
• 0:57
  So I want to go through a bunch of these
• 0:59
  because there's a ton of them to go through today.
• 1:01
  Biden is going to lift Cuba's designation as a terror sponsor
• 1:05
  in exchange for release
• 1:07
  of prisoners.
• 1:07
  The Biden administration on Tuesday announced it will remove Cuba
• 1:10
  from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism and ease economic restrictions
• 1:14
  as a part of a deal for the release of political prisoners.
• 1:17
  Since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration,
• 1:19
  the United States' policy toward Cuba has focused on empowering the Cuban people
• 1:23
  to freely determine their own future and advancing respect for human rights,
• 1:27
  said Corinne Jean-Pierre.
• 1:29
  I mean,
• 1:29
  I doubt she really said that,
• 1:30
  but that was
• 1:31
  what we're supposed to believe.
• 1:32
  The decision is likely to be reversed by the incoming Trump administration.
• 1:36
  Senator Marco Rubio,
• 1:37
  uh,
• 1:38
  Trump's pick for Secretary of State,
• 1:40
  whose family fled Cuba in the 1950s,
• 1:43
  supports strong sanctions
• 1:44
  on Havana's communist regime.
• 1:46
  Interesting.
• 1:47
  The whole thing is very interesting.
• 1:48
  Why would Cuba give up these prisoners knowing
• 1:51
  that in theory
• 1:52
  this was going to change?
• 1:55
  You know,
• 1:55
  right around the corner.
• 1:56
  Why,
• 1:57
  why would they do that?
• 1:58
  I don't know exactly,
• 1:59
  but
• 2:00
  it's kind of shocking to everybody right now.
• 2:01
  Even Democrats are kind of pissed off about this.
• 2:04
  Biden's Cuba bombshell shocks
• 2:06
  Florida Democrats.
• 2:08
  The order will be undone almost as soon as Trump replaces him on Monday.
• 2:11
  So it have little practical effect,
• 2:13
  but Florida Democrats fear Biden's move gives Trump a
• 2:16
  chance to frame their party as beholden to socialists,
• 2:18
  which
• 2:19
  of course
• 2:20
  they are.
• 2:21
  In Florida,
• 2:22
  that,
• 2:22
  that was,
• 2:22
  I added that one little part.
• 2:24
  In Florida,
• 2:24
  where Hispanics make up 19% of the voters,
• 2:27
  the issue of socialism turns off many people with roots to Cuba,
• 2:30
  Nicaragua,
• 2:30
  Venezuela,
• 2:31
  and Colombia,
• 2:32
  countries,
• 2:32
  and many of them escaped to avoid leftist violence.
• 2:35
  It turns them off to so when they hear
• 2:37
  it's a socialist party,
• 2:38
  they're like,
• 2:39
  we don't want to vote for you as much.
• 2:40
  Now.
• 2:41
  Part of the reason this is happening,
• 2:42
  of course,
• 2:43
  is that Florida is a lost cause for them right now.
• 2:45
  They don't care about reversing this type of
• 2:48
  thing and embracing Fidel Castro in some weird way
• 2:51
  or Raul
• 2:54
  because
• 2:55
  they're going to lose Florida anyway.
• 2:57
  They were very protective over this for a very long time,
• 2:59
  no longer
• 3:00
  the case.
• 3:01
  So even the Democrats are pissed off about that particular parting shot.
• 3:04
  Another parting shot.
• 3:06
  Biden
• 3:07
  for giving student loans to 150,000 borrowers,
• 3:09
  bringing the total
• 3:10
  to 5 million.
• 3:11
  Now most of the stuff
• 3:13
  is or will be overturned in the courts,
• 3:16
  but they keep trying it
• 3:18
  even though they know it is unconstitutional.
• 3:20
  President Joe Biden said on Monday his administration would cancel.
• 3:23
  Student loans for more than 150,000 borrowers
• 3:26
  targeting those who attended schools that defrauded students,
• 3:29
  those with permanent disabilities,
• 3:31
  and public service workers.
• 3:33
  Now you might look at that list and be like,
• 3:34
  well,
• 3:34
  all those people should have their loans forgiven.
• 3:36
  Those are good policies,
• 3:37
  yeah,
• 3:37
  but that might be true.
• 3:39
  That should go through Congress.
• 3:41
  You can't just do that if you're President of the United States.
• 3:43
  Biden said the total number of Americans has been now over 5 million.
• 3:47
  So there you go,
• 3:47
  5 million people.
• 3:49
  Now,
• 3:49
  of course,
• 3:49
  most of these people are going to wind up getting the state,
• 3:51
  uh,
• 3:52
  this debt likely reinstated,
• 3:53
  so they're going to wind up paying it anyway.
• 3:55
  They'll all just think they have extra money now so they can spend
• 3:58
  it in advance of needing to spend it later on the actual loan,
• 4:01
  so it'll screw them over years down the road.
• 4:03
  Well,
• 4:03
  so thank you so much,
• 4:05
  Joe Biden.
• 4:05
  Another parting shot.
• 4:07
  New sanctions from the US taking sweeping action against Russia's energy sector.
• 4:12
  With less than 2 weeks until the Biden
• 4:15
  administration leaves the White House,
• 4:16
  it has placed new sanctions,
• 4:17
  which it is called the most significant to date,
• 4:19
  on Russia's oil and liquefied natural gas sector,
• 4:22
  the driver of the Eastern European country's economy.
• 4:25
  Officials said the sanctions could cost the Russian
• 4:28
  economy over billions of dollars per month,
• 4:31
  over billions of dollars.
• 4:32
  So what is that?
• 4:34
  It's a weird way to phrase that,
• 4:34
  but
• 4:35
  what I'm kind of interested in in that one
• 4:37
  is really.
• 4:40
  Listen to this.
• 4:41
  Oil producers rushed to hedge as the US sanctions on Russia
• 4:45
  send prices higher.
• 4:46
  Energy producers have rushed to lock in oil prices
• 4:48
  since the United States announced its harshest sanctions yet
• 4:51
  on Russian energy trade on Friday,
• 4:53
  which
• 4:53
  sent oil
• 4:54
  prices surging to multi-month highs.
• 4:57
  Market participants said
• 4:58
  hedging can help producers reduce risk
• 5:01
  and protect their production from sharp moves in the market
• 5:04
  by locking in a price.
• 5:05
  It can also give traders opportunities to profit from volatility.
• 5:09
  Sure,
• 5:10
  um,
• 5:10
  I guess my question is,
• 5:12
  they're the harshest sanctions yet,
• 5:14
  which indicates there was a harsher place for us to go on the sanctions.
• 5:19
  Which makes me wonder why we try that after we've
• 5:23
  sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine already.
• 5:25
  Like,
• 5:25
  Shouldn't we have
• 5:27
  Shouldn't we have gone to the harshest possible
• 5:29
  place on our sanctions before we started letting them
• 5:33
  use our tanks and missiles and planes
• 5:35
  against
• 5:37
  the world's largest holder of nuclear weapons?
• 5:41
  It Feels like that step should have come first,
• 5:43
  but,
• 5:44
  uh,
• 5:44
  here we are,
• 5:45
  of course this could,
• 5:45
  of course,
• 5:46
  make your gas prices higher as we reduce the supply around the world.
• 5:49
  Um,
• 5:50
  another parting shot from Joe Biden.
• 5:52
  Two prisoners
• 5:54
  legally object to Biden's death row commutations.
• 5:57
  The DOJ is arguing this one.
• 5:59
  Requests of two prisoners who have taken the unusual step
• 6:02
  of asking a federal judge to nullify their death row commutations
• 6:06
  granted by the president.
• 6:07
  Uh,
• 6:07
  should be denied because the act of leniency doesn't violate the Constitution,
• 6:11
  the Justice Department argued Monday in a court filing.
• 6:14
  The inmates,
• 6:14
  Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis,
• 6:17
  are being held in federal prison in Terre Haute,
• 6:20
  Indiana,
• 6:21
  where the US government puts inmates to death.
• 6:25
  good thing for your town to be not necessarily on the,
• 6:27
  uh,
• 6:28
  on the tourism board.
• 6:30
  Paperwork,
• 6:31
  you're like,
• 6:31
  hey,
• 6:31
  this is where everyone comes to die
• 6:33
  if you're a federal prisoner.
• 6:34
  A week after Biden announced he was commuting
• 6:36
  the sentences of 37 of the 40 prisoners on federal death row
• 6:40
  to life without the possibility of parole,
• 6:43
  uh,
• 6:43
  they filed their emergency motions seeking an injunction to block the charge,
• 6:47
  arguing that it could affect their appeals amid.
• 6:48
  Claims of innocence
• 6:49
  in their initial
• 6:50
  conviction.
• 6:51
  So basically what's happening here
• 6:52
  is they got convicted of murder.
• 6:54
  Biden is like,
• 6:55
  he's not letting them out of prison.
• 6:56
  He's just letting them out of the death penalty part
• 6:59
  of their sentence,
• 7:00
  so they'll stay in prison forever without possibility of parole,
• 7:04
  and they're like,
• 7:05
  Well,
• 7:05
  we don't want that because we're innocent.
• 7:08
  So we don't want you to do that
• 7:10
  because it's sending a message that we're actually guilty
• 7:12
  of these crimes and we're getting a lesser punishment
• 7:15
  for our guilt.
• 7:16
  We say we're innocent.
• 7:17
  Now,
• 7:17
  are they innocent?
• 7:18
  I doubt it.
• 7:19
  It's possible,
• 7:20
  possible,
• 7:21
  you know this does happen.
• 7:22
  I've watched Netflix documentaries.
• 7:23
  I know it does occur,
• 7:24
  but unlikely.
• 7:25
  That being said,
• 7:27
  you know,
• 7:28
  if they don't want
• 7:29
  the commutation,
• 7:30
  if they want to be
• 7:31
  executed by the state if they remain to be guilty,
• 7:34
  well,
• 7:34
  I say we give it to them.
• 7:36
  I say we give it to him.
• 7:37
  Um,
• 7:37
  Biden,
• 7:38
  another parting shot,
• 7:39
  awarding Pope Francis,
• 7:41
  Francis the Medal of Freedom,
• 7:43
  the highest civilian honor.
• 7:45
  I mean,
• 7:45
  I will say at this point,
• 7:46
  is at the highest.
• 7:47
  Seems like we give these out like,
• 7:48
  you know,
• 7:48
  candy these days.
• 7:49
  But
• 7:50
  anyway,
• 7:50
  US President Joe Biden spoke with Pope Francis on Saturday,
• 7:52
  awarded him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction,
• 7:55
  the nation's highest civilian honor.
• 7:57
  The White House said it wasn't the first time in 4
• 7:59
  years in office that Biden had awarded the Medal with distinction,
• 8:02
  it said.
• 8:03
  So it's a little bit more important.
• 8:04
  Now it's interesting there because
• 8:06
  You know,
• 8:07
  look,
• 8:07
  it's a very left-wing pope.
• 8:09
  I think if,
• 8:10
  if this is a person who was out there being like,
• 8:11
  you know what,
• 8:12
  abortion's wrong,
• 8:13
  and really highlighting that part of Catholicism,
• 8:15
  maybe a little bit less than
• 8:16
  let's be nice to everyone and,
• 8:18
  and,
• 8:18
  uh,
• 8:19
  never hold them accountable for anything that they do.
• 8:21
  Seems like that's kind of,
• 8:23
  global warming is really,
• 8:24
  really bad.
• 8:25
  That's the part of Catholicism we've been hearing a lot from from this Pope,
• 8:27
  so he gets the award.
• 8:29
  I don't know if that would have happened with another pope,
• 8:31
  but
• 8:32
  who knows?
• 8:32
  Biden administration,
• 8:33
  another parting shot,
• 8:34
  announcing an AI rule to enhance national security
• 8:38
  and economic might.
• 8:39
  The Biden administration is rolling out the new rule that
• 8:41
  is aimed at responsible use of artificial intelligence technology.
• 8:45
  According to a press release about the rule,
• 8:46
  the action streamlines licensing.
• 8:49
  and provides clarity to allied and partner nations
• 8:52
  about how they can benefit from AI.
• 8:54
  The action is designed to safeguard the most advanced AI technology
• 8:59
  and ensure that it stays out of the hands of our foreign adversaries,
• 9:02
  but also enabling the broad diffusion and sharing of the benefits
• 9:06
  with partner
• 9:07
  countries.
• 9:07
  OK,
• 9:08
  now look,
• 9:09
  that one,
• 9:09
  you want to secure AI.
• 9:11
  It is important that we control it and
• 9:13
  countries like
• 9:14
  China don't get ahead of us on AI.
• 9:16
  So you know,
• 9:17
  some of this might be OK.
• 9:19
  The other thing is I just don't want someone
• 9:21
  who is as close to taking their last breath
• 9:24
  as Joe Biden is dealing with new technologies.
• 9:27
  I just feel like that's bad.
• 9:29
  I don't know
• 9:30
  how this will work out.
• 9:31
  Surely,
• 9:32
  since it's Biden's idea,
• 9:33
  supposedly,
• 9:34
  supposedly
• 9:35
  it will work out poorly because most of his ideas do.
• 9:39
  Another parting shot Biden is extending
• 9:41
  protections for immigrants from Venezuela,
• 9:43
  El Salvador,
• 9:44
  and Ukraine.
• 9:45
  President Joe Biden on Friday extended.
• 9:46
  Temporary Protective status for immigrants living in the US for some countries,
• 9:49
  including Venezuela,
• 9:50
  El Salvador,
• 9:50
  and Ukraine.
• 9:51
  Biden's actions come 10 days before he leaves office and could
• 9:55
  benefit about a million migrants who will be shielded from deportation
• 9:59
  for up
• 10:00
  to 18 months.
• 10:02
  The striking thing about this to me was El Salvador.
• 10:05
  El Salvador,
• 10:06
  these protections came in 1990 because of a civil war.
• 10:08
  They were renewed in 2001,
• 10:10
  I think it was because of earthquakes.
• 10:12
  Um,
• 10:13
  but El Salvador is doing pretty well right now.
• 10:15
  They're like in
• 10:16
  the highest point they've been in a very long time under Bukele.
• 10:20
  They've got all this Bitcoin at 100,000.
• 10:22
  They've they've knocked out a lot of the crime problem in this country.
• 10:25
  Like why would we,
• 10:26
  I don't know,
• 10:26
  why are we extending these now?
• 10:28
  I,
• 10:28
  I guess
• 10:29
  these people have been here for a while,
• 10:30
  so we're just going to extend it,
• 10:31
  but that's.
• 10:32
  A little odd.
• 10:32
  Again,
• 10:33
  I think it's not our responsibility to take in everybody from terrible countries.
• 10:36
  Like Ukraine's a good example of this.
• 10:38
  Like
• 10:38
  they're looking at Ukraine and they're saying,
• 10:39
  well,
• 10:39
  they're at war,
• 10:40
  so we need to take these people in,
• 10:41
  and I understand that motivation,
• 10:42
  and sometimes it's the right motivation,
• 10:45
  but it's not necessarily our,
• 10:46
  our jobs to protect these people and keep them here forever.
• 10:50
  You know,
• 10:50
  like if we take in somebody who's in El Salvador in the middle of a civil war,
• 10:54
  and then that civil war ends,
• 10:56
  and they no longer have a lot of the problems we were talking about at that time.
• 10:59
  Is it time to say like,
• 11:00
  OK,
• 11:01
  now go through the normal process.
• 11:02
  Like,
• 11:03
  if you can clear that normal process,
• 11:04
  great,
• 11:05
  but why are we making special exemptions at this
• 11:07
  point for giant groups of people like that?
• 11:09
  It doesn't really make all that much sense.
• 11:11
  And finally,
• 11:11
  uh,
• 11:12
  this isn't exactly a Biden parting shot,
• 11:13
  but it has to do with Biden.
• 11:15
  The Philadelphia mayor is lobbying for a Biden presidential library.
• 11:19
  It is important to note,
• 11:21
  there are no human beings
• 11:23
  in the world
• 11:24
  that would ever visit a Biden library.
• 11:28
  None.
• 11:28
  No,
• 11:29
  it will literally be an empty building with a bunch of shredded documents.
• 11:33
  Uh,
• 11:33
  that's because that's all he basically has.
• 11:36
  Immediately and forevermore.
• 11:37
  It will cost us a bunch of money to protect a building that no one will ever visit.
• 11:41
  That is just the fact of the matter.
• 11:43
  No one cares about Joe Biden.
• 11:45
  Nobody.
• 11:46
  It is,
• 11:46
  he is a sad
• 11:47
  old failure,
• 11:49
  is what he is.
• 11:50
  Anyway,
• 11:50
  um,
• 11:51
  the mayor of Philly said there are many reasons
• 11:54
  that the city would be the appropriate spot.
• 11:56
  For the repository of Biden's history,
• 11:58
  the fact that he would refer to President Joe Biden from Scranton with very strong
• 12:02
  Philadelphia roots
• 12:03
  as our third US senator,
• 12:04
  it is appropriate.
• 12:06
  I would love for his library to be here in Philadelphia,
• 12:08
  the birthplace of democracy.
• 12:10
  First of all,
• 12:10
  Philadelphia's got a lot of really important buildings,
• 12:12
  a lot of really important historical
• 12:14
  documents,
• 12:15
  buildings,
• 12:16
  events that have happened there.
• 12:17
  Joe Biden would be lost in that,
• 12:19
  uh,
• 12:20
  you know,
• 12:20
  immediately.
• 12:21
  I will say even if you were to put it in Scranton,
• 12:24
  people would be like,
• 12:25
  well,
• 12:26
  where was the Office filmed?
• 12:27
  Wasn't filmed in Scranton.
• 12:28
  Uh,
• 12:29
  but still,
• 12:29
  that's what people would think about.
• 12:31
  Uh,
• 12:31
  they would not,
• 12:32
  they,
• 12:32
  they,
• 12:32
  I think the opening of The Office was filmed in Scranton.
• 12:34
  So,
• 12:35
  people would rather see those buildings than the Joe Biden
• 12:38
  Museum.
• 12:39
  But if you're going to put it somewhere,
• 12:40
  you'd think you'd put it in Scranton,
• 12:43
  why are you putting it in Philly?
• 12:44
  It makes no sense.
• 12:45
  No one cares about it.
• 12:46
  No one's going to visit it.
• 12:50
  And I will say,
• 12:51
  it's just bad luck.
• 12:52
  You put the Biden library in Philly,
• 12:54
  the Eagles never win another Super Bowl.
• 12:55
  That,
• 12:56
  that is just,
• 12:56
  I think,
• 12:57
  right off,
• 12:57
  I don't want it just for that particular reason.
• 12:59
  By the way,
• 13:00
  did I mention the Eagles are still in the playoffs?
• 13:02
  Uh,
• 13:03
  that's going to be very interesting.
• 13:04
  I should also tell you,
• 13:05
  we have,
• 13:05
  uh,
• 13:06
  uh,
• 13:06
  you've been waiting for this moment for many years.
• 13:09
  Many,
• 13:09
  many years.
• 13:09
  You've been thinking to yourself,
• 13:10
  gosh,
• 13:10
  Joe Biden is terrible.
• 13:11
  Look at all the things he's doing.
• 13:12
  He's awful.
• 13:13
  Even just his parting shots are terrible,
• 13:15
  but his entire presidency
• 13:17
  has been horrible from beginning to end.
• 13:18
  I can't wait
• 13:20
  for this
• 13:21
  to end.
• 13:21
  Well,
• 13:22
  good news,
• 13:22
  boys and girls,
• 13:23
  it ends on Monday.
• 13:24
  It ends on Monday,
• 13:25
  January 20th in Washington DC.
• 13:28
  We'll be there covering the events for Blaze TV
• 13:32
  and the Glenn Beck Radio program.
• 13:33
  We're going to be out there
• 13:34
  doing,
• 13:34
  um,
• 13:35
  we're going to do a show up there of Studios America as well,
• 13:38
  bring on some great guests.
• 13:39
  We're going to be covering the events live.
• 13:41
  You can be part of that coverage.
• 13:42
  You can watch it
• 13:43
  with us
• 13:43
  on Blaze TV.
• 13:44
  Now you can go to CNN
• 13:46
  and see,
• 13:47
  uh,
• 13:47
  you know,
• 13:47
  the same sort of overall footage.
• 13:49
  You're going to see Donald Trump's speech and you'll see him up there
• 13:52
  and you'll see him up there getting sworn in and all that stuff.
• 13:55
  That's all going to happen and we all understand that's going to happen.
• 13:57
  You can watch it on CNN.
• 13:58
  You can watch it on MSNBC if you like,
• 14:00
  or
• 14:00
  you'd become part of Blaze TV.
• 14:02
  It'd be part of a really important movement,
• 14:04
  I think,
• 14:04
  especially as we go into this new term.
• 14:06
  I don't know if there's anybody
• 14:07
  better positioned to cover this,
• 14:09
  this incoming administration than Blaze TV is.
• 14:12
  We've got a lot of great people
• 14:14
  who have lots of close ties to the administration,
• 14:16
  who know all about,
• 14:18
  you know,
• 14:19
  the focus that they're going to have as we go in.
• 14:21
  To the next 4 years
• 14:23
  and uh we're gonna be there,
• 14:24
  you know,
• 14:25

  Right,

  I'm talking to Glenn Beck right now.
• 15:07
  Uh,
• 15:07
  Glenn Beck,
• 15:07
  he's a
• 15:08
  brand new special coming up at 9:00 p.m. Eastern tonight.
• 15:11
  It's California fires and New Jersey drones,
• 15:14
  Government Secrets
• 15:16
  exposed.
• 15:17
  Be sure to stay tuned.
• 15:18
  Glenn,
• 15:18
  how's it going?
• 15:19
  Uh
• 15:19
  just so you know,
• 15:20
  in,
• 15:21
  we were just talking in the break about
• 15:23
  cow teats.
• 15:24
  Uh,
• 15:25
  we were,
• 15:26
  yeah,
• 15:27
  and,
• 15:27
  uh,
• 15:27
  well,
• 15:27
  I,
• 15:28
  you know,
• 15:28
  and we weren't gonna talk about this,
• 15:30
  but
• 15:30
  I had read something online.
• 15:32
  I don't know how I even stumbled upon it,
• 15:33
  but it was somebody
• 15:34
  who worked at a farm
• 15:36
  and was talking about raw milk
• 15:38
  and was saying like,
• 15:39
  hey,
• 15:39
  like the raw milk thing,
• 15:40
  like I know a lot of people think it's great and everything,
• 15:42
  but like I'm there.
• 15:44
  With all the other cow body parts that are right nearby
• 15:48
  and you don't want to have raw milk,
• 15:50
  and I was like I kind of,
• 15:51
  so it's sort of connected unless you've seen how raw milk,
• 15:54
  I mean,
• 15:55
  it's,
• 15:56
  it's very clean,
• 15:58
  it is very it is this is not the case this guy was making.
• 16:01
  Well,
• 16:01
  I don't know if that guy is,
• 16:02
  you know,
• 16:03
  doing raw milk the right way,
• 16:05
  um,
• 16:06
  it's very clean.
• 16:07
  They,
• 16:07
  they,
• 16:08
  they back those cows up and you're half a floor down,
• 16:12
  so you're kind of right there.
• 16:14
  And they wash,
• 16:16
  then they sterilize,
• 16:17
  then they
• 16:18
  dip the teats
• 16:20
  into something and put the thing right on.
• 16:22
  So it's very clean.
• 16:24
  That's good to hear,
• 16:24
  yeah,
• 16:25
  because
• 16:25
  it did not sound like something I mean that was,
• 16:28
  you know,
• 16:28
  in the 1800s,
• 16:29
  that's not the way it was done,
• 16:31
  so it wasn't good for you.
• 16:32
  A lot better now.
• 16:33
  So there you go,
• 16:34
  in case you were looking at raw milk,
• 16:35
  it's,
• 16:35
  it's safer now apparently,
• 16:36
  so there you go.
• 16:37
  Um,
• 16:38
  that wasn't,
• 16:38
  now that's not one of the government secrets you're going to expose tonight,
• 16:41
  I hope,
• 16:42
  because,
• 16:43
  not really,
• 16:44
  although I would like to expose why we just.
• 16:47
  Took
• 16:48
  red dye number 3 off.
• 16:50
  That's a fascinating one,
• 16:51
  right?
• 16:51
  It is.
• 16:51
  Yeah,
• 16:51
  especially,
• 16:52
  honestly,
• 16:53
  the only thing that surprises me at all about it is the timing,
• 16:56
  um,
• 16:56
  because RFK Junior has been talking about taking,
• 16:59
  getting rid of a bunch of basically everything on the market he wants to ban,
• 17:03
  but red dye number 3 has been,
• 17:04
  I would say,
• 17:04
  top of the list,
• 17:06
  top 2,
• 17:07
  that he's been talking about for a really long time,
• 17:09
  and.
• 17:10
  The FDA,
• 17:11
  which is
• 17:12
  right,
• 17:12
  correct me if I'm wrong,
• 17:13
  still under Biden's control,
• 17:15
  comes out today
• 17:17
  and bans red dye number 3 from all food and drink.
• 17:20
  So what else are the red dye people involved in?
• 17:23
  Uh,
• 17:24
  watch the other possible.
• 17:25
  The red dye people are like,
• 17:27
  yeah,
• 17:27
  but we don't want them to know about green and yellow 20,
• 17:31
  right,
• 17:31
  right,
• 17:31
  you know what I mean,
• 17:32
  because it was interesting because I thought of it as like,
• 17:34
  in a way this removes a hurdle for RFK,
• 17:37
  right,
• 17:37
  where it would have taken him time
• 17:40
  at some level.
• 17:41
  I,
• 17:41
  I,
• 17:42
  the FDA stuff is really weird like looking into it.
• 17:45
  He really
• 17:46
  can kind of just do it on a whim.
• 17:48
  He can kind of ban whatever he wants on a whim.
• 17:49
  Now,
• 17:50
  obviously I don't,
• 17:51
  I don't like that either,
• 17:52
  um,
• 17:53
  because a lot of it just has to do with the FDA just putting a letter or a statement out.
• 17:57
  Um,
• 17:57
  where
• 17:58
  it's supposed to go through a multi-year scientific process,
• 18:02
  like is RFJ Gy Junior going to want to do that?
• 18:04
  I mean,
• 18:04
  I think he believes he knows a lot about the science anyway,
• 18:07
  so I don't know how long this stuff would take
• 18:09
  or how aggressive he would be.
• 18:10
  I would think
• 18:11
  he's not going to do anything
• 18:12
  banning wise that's going to piss Trump off,
• 18:15
  right?
• 18:16
  The one that keeps coming to mind is,
• 18:17
  is,
• 18:18
  is aspartame and and and Trump loves his Diet Coke.
• 18:21
  So I don't think it just doesn't strike me as something he would do.
• 18:25
  Seed oils is another one,
• 18:26
  but that's such a broad category
• 18:28
  that even if he opposes them,
• 18:30
  banning all seed oils from food is,
• 18:33
  first of all,
• 18:34
  you know,
• 18:34
  I mean it's going to be it would be huge.
• 18:36
  And it will be not good for farmers,
• 18:39
  right?
• 18:39
  It will be horrible for farmers.
• 18:41
  Um,
• 18:41
  it just seems implausible politically and also just pragmatically.
• 18:45
  Now,
• 18:45
  will he just write
• 18:47
  a letter and
• 18:49
  let it happen?
• 18:50
  I don't know.
• 18:50
  We,
• 18:50
  we will see.
• 18:51
  What do you make of this,
• 18:52
  uh,
• 18:53
  uh,
• 18:53
  of the,
• 18:54
  of the banning of red dye number 3?
• 18:57
  I,
• 18:57
  I have
• 18:58
  absolutely no idea.
• 18:59
  I can't.
• 19:00
  Why would they do it before he comes in,
• 19:01
  right,
• 19:02
  unless the red dye people are into something else.
• 19:05
  So you think maybe it's like,
• 19:06
  I actually think this has been going on for a long time and they just,
• 19:09
  you know,
• 19:09
  just kind of came to the conclusion and just the timing is just coincidental.
• 19:13
  I kind of feel like Biden wants credit for it.
• 19:15
  Yeah,
• 19:16
  maybe,
• 19:16
  you know,
• 19:16
  like doesn't want to give it to,
• 19:18
  this is him stopping cancer.
• 19:20
  Oh my gosh,
• 19:20
  he's done it.
• 19:21
  He's finally cured cancer.
• 19:22
  We can update the website.
• 19:23
  Uh,
• 19:23
  the other thing,
• 19:24
  uh,
• 19:24
  that's kind of interesting is I think it says something positive
• 19:28
  to for RFK's confirmation.
• 19:31
  Because if they're,
• 19:32
  they're sort of adopting Trump adjacent
• 19:35
  viewpoints here,
• 19:37
  yeah,
• 19:37
  but there's a difference between
• 19:40
  red dye
• 19:41
  and
• 19:43
  vaccinations.
• 19:44
  Yeah.
• 19:45
  So they're still gonna oppose him on that stuff,
• 19:47
  I think.
• 19:48
  I don't think they're gonna embrace him fully,
• 19:50
  but
• 19:50
  can he get
• 19:52
  5 to 10 Democratic Senate votes?
• 19:54
  Oh,
• 19:54
  I think he can.
• 19:56
  I think he can too.
• 19:57
  I think he also will probably lose some Republicans.
• 19:59
  I,
• 19:59
  I,
• 19:59
  I,
• 19:59
  I could be wrong on that,
• 20:00
  but I think like a Mitch McConnell is.
• 20:02
  Mitch McConnell's gonna stop
• 20:04
  Donald Trump's agenda any way he can.
• 20:07
  Although he's gonna vote for
• 20:08
  almost all of his appointees,
• 20:09
  I think.
• 20:10
  I think RFK,
• 20:10
  I mean,
• 20:11
  remember,
• 20:12
  Mitch McConnell's been around for a while,
• 20:13
  Glenn,
• 20:13
  I don't know if you know this.
• 20:14
  Uh,
• 20:14
  dude had polio.
• 20:16
  So anyone who I think McConnell did,
• 20:17
  yes,
• 20:18
  he actually
• 20:19
  had had polio.
• 20:20
  Not,
• 20:20
  not,
• 20:20
  well,
• 20:21
  that puts you,
• 20:22
  that puts you in a different century,
• 20:23
  maybe even two different centuries.
• 20:26
  But you could see him being.
• 20:28
  You know,
• 20:28
  really,
• 20:29
  uh,
• 20:30
  maybe really holding that line on anyone who's threatening.
• 20:33
  Now RFK Junior says he's not going to pull the polio vaccine or
• 20:37
  go after it,
• 20:38
  but still,
• 20:39
  where does he stand on iron lungs?
• 20:43
  Want one?
• 20:43
  Need one.
• 20:44
  So,
• 20:45
  a lot of fun.
• 20:46
  We've got Boy in the bubble,
• 20:47
  how does he feel on that?
• 20:47
  We don't know.
• 20:48
  Um,
• 20:49
  OK,
• 20:49
  so let me get to,
• 20:50
  uh,
• 20:50
  let me get to your actual show here.
• 20:52
  The California fires.
• 20:54
  A fascinating thing,
• 20:55
  I think,
• 20:56
  uh,
• 20:56
  I was reading a statement from Donald Trump the other day where he said,
• 20:59
  this is one of the worst,
• 21:00
  the biggest disasters we've ever seen in American history.
• 21:04
  And he kind of says that about everything.
• 21:06
  Yeah,
• 21:07
  but completely right on this.
• 21:08
  Like this is legitimately one of the worst things we've ever seen in our lifetimes.
• 21:12
  Yeah,
• 21:12
  this is the Chicago Fire,
• 21:14
  the San Francisco fire probably combined,
• 21:17
  um,
• 21:17
  I mean,
• 21:18
  you know,
• 21:18
  those,
• 21:18
  those wiped out the cities,
• 21:21
  um,
• 21:21
  while this hasn't taken the,
• 21:23
  the actual city of Los Angeles down,
• 21:26
  it's taken a lot of the,
• 21:28
  the burbs and the,
• 21:30
  and,
• 21:31
  you know,
• 21:31
  LA County,
• 21:32
  um,
• 21:33
  uh,
• 21:34
  I've never seen anything like it and
• 21:36
  what is it gonna take to rebuild all of this?
• 21:38
  And you know I think the biggest thing is
• 21:41
  we have to know the truth on all of this.
• 21:45
  Are we going to get it?
• 21:46
  I don't know,
• 21:48
  but I agree with the members of Congress.
• 21:51
  They have never
• 21:52
  proven themselves to be responsible with money.
• 21:55
  They are the Ukraine of the United States when it comes to money.
• 21:59
  No idea what happened to that money,
• 22:01
  you know what I mean?
• 22:02
  And I think there should be accountability for every dollar spent,
• 22:06
  and there should be some strings attached to it.
• 22:09
  You know,
• 22:09
  because why would we help rebuild California if they're,
• 22:13
  if they're gonna just
• 22:14
  keep the underbrush,
• 22:15
  if they're not gonna they're not going to build another
• 22:18
  uh uh reservoir,
• 22:20
  if you're not going to take care of the things you need to take care of.
• 22:24
  Gavin Newsom is the reason why we don't have nice things in California.
• 22:29
  You've got to change the behavior.
• 22:32
  Do you,
• 22:32
  uh,
• 22:33
  because I'm fascinated by this because I mean,
• 22:35
  you said that you have never seen anything like it,
• 22:36
  but you actually dug up some old pictures of Nagasaki
• 22:40
  and looked pretty similar.
• 22:41
  I know scale maybe not as big as the nuclear bomb,
• 22:44
  but
• 22:45
  it really was.
• 22:46
  Entire
• 22:47
  areas flattened
• 22:50
  with just some trees.
• 22:53
  Uh,
• 22:53
  some chimneys
• 22:54
  that were left exactly the way we see California now.
• 22:58
  Now Gavin Newsom is saying you can't sell your house.
• 23:01
  Uh,
• 23:01
  you're rubble,
• 23:02
  you don't even have a house anymore,
• 23:03
  but he's saying basically he's trying to prevent what he says are,
• 23:07
  uh,
• 23:07
  people trying to take advantage of the situation,
• 23:09
  speculators that would come in and buy on the cheap,
• 23:11
  some of these properties
• 23:12
  when people are in their dire needs.
• 23:14
  And I think a lot of people would be like,
• 23:15
  yeah,
• 23:15
  good job,
• 23:16
  Gavin.
• 23:17
  But like,
• 23:17
  what if you want to sell your house?
• 23:20
  What if you want to sell your house?
• 23:22
  Gavin won't allow somebody to buy your house?
• 23:25
  I,
• 23:26
  I,
• 23:26
  you know,
• 23:26
  I'm,
• 23:27
  if I'm
• 23:28
  even my age and I'm living there.
• 23:31
  Uh,
• 23:33
  do I want to,
• 23:34
  do I want to waste probably with all the red tape and everything else,
• 23:37
  6 years at least of building,
• 23:40
  rebuilding?
• 23:41
  Can you imagine the red tape that that thing is going to hold,
• 23:44
  so.
• 23:45
  I gotta wait 6 years?
• 23:47
  No,
• 23:48
  go down and look at some of those areas of New Orleans.
• 23:51
  They still look like they did in 2005,
• 23:53
  right?
• 23:53
  Not interested,
• 23:54
  not interested,
• 23:55
  and you're not going to let me sell my house.
• 23:57
  Now,
• 23:57
  I think technically the way it's worded is
• 23:59
  unsolicited offers you're not allowed to make,
• 24:01
  so you couldn't go to an
• 24:03
  owner,
• 24:03
  a homeowner and say,
• 24:04
  hey,
• 24:05
  we want to buy your house for a million dollars.
• 24:07
  You interested?
• 24:08
  If they can obviously list it theoretically for a price that they want,
• 24:12
  but like
• 24:13
  why is that Gavin Newsom's business again?
• 24:15
  Why wouldn't these people be able to make decisions on their own
• 24:19
  whether they want to receive those offers,
• 24:20
  whether they want to pick up the phone,
• 24:22
  whether they want to respond,
• 24:23
  whether they want to say screw you,
• 24:24
  get out of my town,
• 24:25
  whatever it is.
• 24:26
  Why can't they make those decisions for themselves?
• 24:28
  Because there's somebody in that neighborhood who's too stupid
• 24:31
  and needs to be protected against themselves.
• 24:34
  That's really what he thinks.
• 24:35
  No,
• 24:35
  it is,
• 24:36
  it is.
• 24:37
  And it's interesting because,
• 24:38
  you know,
• 24:38
  a lot of support comes from,
• 24:40
  uh,
• 24:40
  that area of town.
• 24:42
  How many people are so stupid they need you
• 24:45
  to hold their hand.
• 24:46
  The guy who,
• 24:46
  I mean,
• 24:47
  you're holding the flamethrower almost,
• 24:49
  Gavin.
• 24:50
  I mean,
• 24:51
  you are the guy responsible and you know best.
• 24:56
  Boy,
• 24:56
  if California doesn't wake up from this,
• 24:58
  but this is why we need
• 25:00
  transparency on it.
• 25:01
  We need to know
• 25:03
  exactly who did what when.
• 25:06
  They didn't want to put fire trucks out
• 25:08
  to preposition them.
• 25:10
  Why?
• 25:11
  Because
• 25:12
  they didn't want to pay overtime.
• 25:15
  That is so shortsighted.
• 25:17
  Who
• 25:17
  made that decision?
• 25:20
  Under what kind of pressure
• 25:22
  was that decision made?
• 25:23
  Was that because,
• 25:24
  no,
• 25:24
  I want to spend it on new one-legged lesbian dogs?
• 25:29
  You know,
• 25:29
  to be firemen,
• 25:30
  you know,
• 25:31
  uh,
• 25:31
  Dalmatian,
• 25:32
  but I only want them to have gay spots or I don't know,
• 25:36
  purple spots,
• 25:38
  um.
• 25:39
  It's very possible there is very possible there was a study,
• 25:43
  um,
• 25:43
  but.
• 25:45
  Who made that decision?
• 25:47
  How far did that go?
• 25:48
  Who did not refill that reservoir
• 25:52
  for 2 years?
• 25:53
  And is it in the purview of the fire chief of that area
• 25:59
  to recognize,
• 26:01
  hey,
• 26:01
  our reservoir hasn't been filled for 2 years?
• 26:06
  How does the state not
• 26:09
  comprehend forest fires happen there all the time?
• 26:11
  Well,
• 26:11
  it's a totally local issue and Gavin Newsom just didn't want to
• 26:14
  get involved because of his strong belief it's central government is bad.
• 26:18
  So that's,
• 26:18
  that's right.
• 26:19
  Can we go to a more base level of this,
• 26:21
  Glenn?
• 26:21
  Have you speculated about this at all on your own?
• 26:24
  What are the odds this is a,
• 26:28
  a normal
• 26:29
  natural fire starting?
• 26:31
  What are the odds that this is like an electrical,
• 26:34
  you know,
• 26:34
  you have a situation where electricity
• 26:36
  comes off of some wire and starts to spark like that.
• 26:40
  I mean,
• 26:41
  is there a possibility that this is an intentional attack?
• 26:44
  I mean,
• 26:45
  it's weird to think of it as a terrorist attack,
• 26:47
  but it would be a way they could do it.
• 26:49
  I think the answer is yes to all of those.
• 26:52
  I think it was
• 26:53
  probably a natural fire
• 26:56
  in some places.
• 26:58
  It
• 26:58
  was
• 26:59
  probably
• 27:01
  another part of it comes from the power lines going down.
• 27:05
  Um,
• 27:06
  I think there's probably another part of it that is
• 27:09
  just homeless people setting fires.
• 27:12
  Another part of it of probably foreign,
• 27:15
  uh,
• 27:16
  people coming in and
• 27:18
  joining in
• 27:19
  because we had caught a couple of people,
• 27:21
  right,
• 27:22
  I think
• 27:23
  15,
• 27:24
  that,
• 27:24
  yeah,
• 27:25
  um,
• 27:26
  and
• 27:27
  almost all of them are foreign nationals.
• 27:31
  Uh,
• 27:31
  so
• 27:32
  what does that mean?
• 27:34
  Why did that happen?
• 27:35
  And is there incompetence?
• 27:37
  Yeah,
• 27:38
  so I think it's all of those things.
• 27:39
  I think this is,
• 27:41
  this is the biggest cluster.
• 27:44
  You know what I'm saying,
• 27:45
  than
• 27:46
  than anything else I've seen,
• 27:48
  this is.
• 27:50
  And Gavin Newsom is walking around.
• 27:52
  I mean,
• 27:52
  how could you even
• 27:54
  in Japan,
• 27:56
  the leader would have
• 27:57
  killed himself by this point of shame,
• 28:00
  of shame.
• 28:01
  I mean,
• 28:02
  how could you be this
• 28:04
  incompetent?
• 28:05
  So this leads to the biggest
• 28:07
  question maybe in the aftermath of this.
• 28:10
  There couldn't be a clearer lesson,
• 28:12
  a clearer message being sent by,
• 28:14
  by this environment and the way it's being responded to
• 28:17
  and the way and what led up to it.
• 28:20
  Does California
• 28:22
  learn?
• 28:25
  No.
• 28:27
  No.
• 28:29
  Mm.
• 28:30
  I don't see Republicans winning elections there
• 28:34
  by any real degree.
• 28:37
  No.
• 28:38
  God,
• 28:38
  that's,
• 28:38
  that's absolutely incredible.
• 28:40
  I mean,
• 28:40
  this is,
• 28:40
  this is a state that Reagan came from.
• 28:42
  Yeah,
• 28:42
  they're gonna be capture that at all.
• 28:43
  They're gonna be pissed that the government isn't doing more
• 28:47
  to help them now.
• 28:50
  God,
• 28:50
  you're,
• 28:50
  you're,
• 28:51
  I mean,
• 28:51
  I think you're totally right.
• 28:52
  It's very depressing.
• 28:53
  You notice that the,
• 28:54
  the Trump part of the country,
• 28:56
  um,
• 28:57
  the Carolinas,
• 28:58
  uh,
• 28:58
  they're hit by a hurricane
• 29:00
  and they're given $700 and told,
• 29:02
  Well,
• 29:02
  get up you're off your butt and
• 29:04
  fix it yourself.
• 29:05
  These guys
• 29:07
  immediately will take care of your every need.
• 29:11
  Because
• 29:11
  those guys expect it.
• 29:13
  Mhm.
• 29:13
  Very true.
• 29:14
  Glenn Beck has a new special coming up tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.
• 29:16
  Be sure to stay tuned.
• 29:17
  Tonight it's California Fires and the New Jersey drones.

  or actually go to StuoAmerica.com is the easiest way.

  Michael Shellenberger is on tonight.
• 29:30
  Oh really?
• 29:31
  Yeah,
• 29:31
  you don't want to miss him.
• 29:32
  How different would this have been if he was actually governor?
• 29:34
  He ran for governor,
• 29:35
  did not win.
• 29:35
  I know.
• 29:36
  It would have been a lot better.
• 29:37
  Caruso as mayor,
• 29:38
  Shellenberger as governor,
• 29:39
  would have made the situation a lot better.

• 29:54
  Well,
• 29:54
  Donald Trump has received a gift from
• 29:57
  Coca-Cola,
• 29:58
  and Coca-Cola was critical,
• 30:00
  uh,
• 30:01
  back in the day.
• 30:01
  Do we have the criticism here somewhere?
• 30:03
  I had it at one point.
• 30:04
  Uh,
• 30:05
  they were kind of,
• 30:05
  uh,
• 30:06
  pissy about January 6th back in the day,
• 30:08
  as many were.
• 30:09
  I didn't like it either.
• 30:09
  I don't know.
• 30:10
  blamed Donald Trump for it,
• 30:12
  but
• 30:12
  I did not like the events of that day all that much.
• 30:15
  In fact,
• 30:15
  I didn't like them at all,
• 30:17
  frankly.
• 30:17
  But
• 30:19
  Donald Trump is now a,
• 30:21
  a few years later,
• 30:22
  getting an award
• 30:24
  from Coca-Cola.
• 30:25
  Tonight President Trump received.
• 30:27
  The first ever presidential commemorative inaugural Diet Coke bottle
• 30:31
  from the chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company,
• 30:33
  James Quincy.
• 30:34
  Now
• 30:34
  it's funny because,
• 30:35
  you know,
• 30:36
  like we've talked about the Calci
• 30:38
  markets before here on the program.
• 30:40
  These are these prediction markets.
• 30:41
  What's going to happen in the administration?
• 30:42
  What's going to happen in the election?
• 30:43
  What's going to happen in all these different things,
• 30:45
  Entertainment,
• 30:45
  sports,
• 30:46
  they have a million markets.
• 30:47
  It's a lot of fun if you are interested in that at all.
• 30:49
  K A L S H I
• 30:51
  is the way you spell it.
• 30:52
  Then there's,
• 30:53
  uh,
• 30:53
  it's,
• 30:53
  it's interesting.
• 30:55
  They had a market there.
• 30:56
  What will RFK ban,
• 30:58
  uh,
• 30:58
  in the,
• 30:59
  in before January 1st,
• 31:01
  2026.
• 31:02
  And they had three things on there,
• 31:03
  which was red number 3.
• 31:05
  Which is interesting because RFK didn't ban it,
• 31:08
  but it was banned today
• 31:10
  by the outgoing Biden administration.
• 31:12
  We could have put that in parting shots,
• 31:13
  I suppose,
• 31:13
  as well.
• 31:15
  Whatever you feel about red number 3,
• 31:16
  which is
• 31:17
  likely nothing.
• 31:18
  I mean,
• 31:18
  no one cares about which
• 31:21
  there's going to be other food dyes that people will use.
• 31:24
  I don't think anybody cares about whether you're using red number 3 or not,
• 31:27
  although you know some people believe there's really serious health effects on it.
• 31:31
  We've gone over some of that stuff before.
• 31:33
  No need to revisit it,
• 31:34
  but the bottom line is
• 31:35
  it's interesting that before RFK has a chance to be confirmed,
• 31:39
  the Biden administration
• 31:40
  does this through the FDA.
• 31:43
  So
• 31:43
  that actually it's kind of a fascinating thing because that
• 31:46
  one is now apparently a successful contract on these markets
• 31:52
  because it happened before January 1st,
• 31:54
  2026,
• 31:55
  and the way the rules are.
• 31:58
  read
• 31:59
  are written.
• 32:00
  When you read them,
• 32:01
  you can see that
• 32:02
  that
• 32:03
  fulfills that contract.
• 32:04
  What's fascinating about that is just the fact that RFK didn't even do it.
• 32:07
  It's like
• 32:07
  there's this weird thing
• 32:09
  where a lot of these
• 32:11
  industries are kind of taking these
• 32:14
  Trump adjacent policies and kind of adopting them and
• 32:16
  giving Donald Trump a little bit of a hug
• 32:18
  to avoid,
• 32:19
  I think,
• 32:19
  the
• 32:21
  the downfall.
• 32:21
  The reason I bring up the Calci contract
• 32:23
  is because another option there was aspartame.
• 32:26
  Um,
• 32:26
  which is,
• 32:27
  of course,
• 32:28
  the,
• 32:28
  you know,
• 32:28
  main ingredient,
• 32:29
  one of the main sweeteners that goes into,
• 32:31
  uh,
• 32:31
  Diet Coke.
• 32:32
  Now,
• 32:33
  it's just,
• 32:33
  I don't think it's a coincidence
• 32:35
  that
• 32:36
  Diet Coke is like,
• 32:37
  hey,
• 32:38
  commemorative bottle for you,
• 32:39
  Don,
• 32:40
  because I don't,
• 32:41
  RFK definitely wants to ban,
• 32:43
  I mean,
• 32:43
  let's be honest about it,
• 32:45
  everything.
• 32:45
  The guy wants there to be
• 32:46
  a solely,
• 32:47
  only like,
• 32:48
  um,
• 32:49
  uh,
• 32:49
  organic cow meat is the only thing you're allowed to eat.
• 32:52
  He wants everything banned.
• 32:53
  Nothing that's fun to eat does this guy want in existence.
• 32:57
  You know,
• 32:58
  aspartame would be a target of his if he were president of the United States,
• 33:02
  but Don loves his Diet Coke,
• 33:04
  so I don't know.
• 33:04
  I'm kind of skeptical on that one in particular.
• 33:06
  That one,
• 33:06
  I think,
• 33:07
  has only a 9% chance of being banned.
• 33:10
  So there you go.
• 33:10
  The other one is seed oils.
• 33:12
  That would be an interesting thing to ban entirely
• 33:15
  all oils that come from seeds.
• 33:17
  Also,
• 33:17
  what would that do to farmers,
• 33:18
  right?
• 33:19
  Farmers who make tons and tons of money off of seed oils.
• 33:22
  Again,
• 33:22
  another one I can't see Donald Trump being like,
• 33:24
  go ahead,
• 33:25
  uh,
• 33:25
  you know,
• 33:26
  RFK,
• 33:26
  just go ahead and ban that and and screw all these farmers.
• 33:29
  Like I just don't see that as happening.
• 33:31
  But you know,
• 33:31
  again,
• 33:31
  we will see.
• 33:32
  Um,
• 33:33
  Michelle Obama has made a statement,
• 33:34
  she's not going
• 33:36
  to the Trump inauguration.
• 33:38
  This is interesting because
• 33:40
  Barack Obama will be there.
• 33:42
  The Bushes will be there.
• 33:43
  Now look,
• 33:44
  Barack Obama,
• 33:44
  the Bushes,
• 33:45
  they don't like Donald Trump either,
• 33:46
  none of them do.
• 33:47
  But you know there is this sort of idea that like this is a
• 33:50
  um.
• 33:51
  I don't know.
• 33:52
  It's part of the tradition.
• 33:53
  It's part of the peaceful transition of power.
• 33:56
  You kind of do that unless you're trying to make a statement.
• 33:59
  Now Michelle Obama is the type of person
• 34:01
  that will absolutely
• 34:03
  put her own personal statement above the
• 34:06
  trappings of tradition here in our country.
• 34:09
  She doesn't like,
• 34:09
  she said outwardly she wants to change our traditions,
• 34:13
  change our history,
• 34:14
  so she's in the middle of doing that.
• 34:16
  And you might say,
• 34:16
  well,
• 34:16
  wait a minute,
• 34:17
  Donald Trump didn't go to the
• 34:19
  Hand off to Joe Biden,
• 34:21
  which is true,
• 34:22
  but again,
• 34:23
  what was he doing?
• 34:24
  He was making a big fat statement,
• 34:26
  right?
• 34:26
  He was saying,
• 34:26
  I don't believe I lost this election.
• 34:28
  This is wrong.
• 34:29
  I'm not going there,
• 34:30
  not to mention
• 34:31
  after January 6th there was worries about more riots and such,
• 34:34
  so
• 34:34
  that's why that one happened.
• 34:36
  Now it's not just
• 34:39
  Michelle Obama who's making a statement.
• 34:40
  Kamala Harris is declining to.
• 34:42
  Invite JD Vance
• 34:43
  to the courtesy visit to vice presidential residents before inauguration.
• 34:48
  This is an interesting one
• 34:49
  solely because like
• 34:50
  a lot of times you'll hear this case
• 34:52
  from the left in the mainstream media
• 34:54
  that Donald Trump is uniquely bad,
• 34:56
  right?
• 34:56
  Like
• 34:57
  Donald Trump is different.
• 34:57
  He's different than Mitt Romney or George W.
• 35:00
  Bush or John McCain or any of the other Republicans that have come before him.
• 35:03
  He's
• 35:04
  uniquely evil.
• 35:05
  He's.
• 35:05
  Absolutely terrible.
• 35:06
  And that's why we
• 35:07
  do all these things like try to throw him in prison because he's that
• 35:10
  bad.
• 35:11
  It's not like we're going to do this to all Republicans,
• 35:13
  no,
• 35:14
  no,
• 35:14
  it's just the fact that Donald Trump is uniquely that terrible.
• 35:18
  Well,
• 35:18
  as we see here,
• 35:19
  JD Vance is also uniquely that terrible,
• 35:21
  and you know what?
• 35:22
  Every other candidate that comes out and Ron DeSantiss would
• 35:25
  have been uniquely that terrible had he had won the,
• 35:27
  uh,
• 35:27
  uh,
• 35:27
  the,
• 35:28
  the primary.
• 35:29
  It really doesn't matter.
• 35:30
  The bottom line is they're going to make
• 35:31
  any Republican that comes in front of them to be Satan.
• 35:34
  And you know that by now,
• 35:36
  I suppose,
• 35:36
  but it is very much true.
• 35:38
  The House is passing a transgender sports bill.
• 35:41
  The legislation
• 35:42
  will strip federal funding
• 35:44
  from schools that let transgender girls compete
• 35:47
  in female sports categories.
• 35:49
  So
• 35:50
  you know you're letting your,
• 35:51
  uh,
• 35:53
  you know,
• 35:53
  some dude who's saying he's a chick transport over to the women's area.
• 35:58
  You know,
• 35:58
  if they were,
• 35:59
  let's say,
• 35:59
  a very mediocre men's swim swimmer and all of a sudden become
• 36:02
  the best swimmer in the whole universe as a woman.
• 36:04
  Uh,
• 36:05
  that they're going to say,
• 36:06
  OK,
• 36:06
  you can do that.
• 36:07
  We can't really stop you from doing it at this point,
• 36:09
  but what we can do is pull all your funding.
• 36:11
  So we will see if they,
• 36:13
  uh,
• 36:13
  if that actually goes through.
• 36:14
  There was a few Democrats that were on board for that.
• 36:17
  I want to say it was 5.
• 36:19
  It wasn't a ton,
• 36:20
  but there were a few House Democrats,
• 36:22
  um,
• 36:24
  who jumped on board for that one.
• 36:25
  I'm missing the number here,
• 36:26
  but it was a low number,
• 36:27
  but there was some bipartisanship involved in that particular bill.
• 36:30
  Also some bipartisanship in the TikTok ban.
• 36:33
  Now the TikTok ban is
• 36:34
  set up for this
• 36:38
  it's going to be Sunday is actually the day
• 36:40
  that the ban shutdown happens.
• 36:42
  I will say this is being overblown by quite a bit.
• 36:46
  This is of course TikTok,
• 36:47
  which I think is legitimately terrible.
• 36:49
  I mean it is a terrible app in a million different ways.
• 36:53
  First of all,
• 36:54
  it takes your mind.
• 36:56
  And it turns it into a special kind of green mush
• 36:59
  that no other app can do,
• 37:01
  I think,
• 37:02
  because
• 37:03
  it is just the most mindless nonsense.
• 37:05
  Now that's not to say there's not some good creators on there.
• 37:07
  I think there are.
• 37:08
  You know,
• 37:09
  my wife really likes
• 37:11
  the idea of interior decorating tips,
• 37:12
  and she's like,
• 37:13
  I love it for that.
• 37:15
  OK,
• 37:15
  I mean,
• 37:15
  I think you can get that from Pinterest or Reels or 100 different other places,
• 37:20
  but OK,
• 37:20
  I get it.
• 37:21
  I mean I'm not to say that there's no good creators over there,
• 37:24
  but this is a tool
• 37:26
  designed
• 37:27
  by and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
• 37:30
  They intentionally inject
• 37:33
  different
• 37:34
  elements of chaos into our country that they don't use in other countries.
• 37:38
  In fact,
• 37:39
  when you try to go on and get TikTok China,
• 37:41
  what you'll find is there isn't one.
• 37:43
  They don't allow TikTok in China
• 37:46
  because they know how terrible it will be,
• 37:48
  but they do have other
• 37:50
  sort of similar varieties.
• 37:51
  A lot of these creators are now switching over to those apps,
• 37:56
  which is funny because China controls them even more closely,
• 37:59
  and they're like kicking women off
• 38:01
  because their shirts are too low cut.
• 38:05
  Which again,
• 38:06
  does social media exist without low cut shirts of women and their boobs hanging out?
• 38:10
  I,
• 38:11
  I don't,
• 38:11
  I'm pretty sure the product doesn't even exist
• 38:14
  without that,
• 38:15
  but apparently in China it does.
• 38:16
  It's funny because
• 38:17
  it's being overblown largely because.
• 38:20
  People's
• 38:21
  existence here isn't really going to change.
• 38:24
  The way the law is written is it just
• 38:27
  makes it so
• 38:29
  places like Apple and Google can't carry a
• 38:33
  TikTok or a similar app
• 38:35
  in their app stores.
• 38:37
  So,
• 38:38
  if you are like,
• 38:39
  today or today it's OK.
• 38:41
  On Monday,
• 38:41
  if you're like,
• 38:41
  you know what,
• 38:42
  I'm now on the TikTok bandwagon,
• 38:44
  I'm gonna join up for the first time,
• 38:46
  you won't be able to download the app from the App Store,
• 38:48
  so no new
• 38:50
  people on TikTok,
• 38:51
  which sounds like
• 38:52
  a glorious future.
• 38:54
  Secondarily,
• 38:55
  if
• 38:57
  you can't do an app update,
• 38:58
  so no new features
• 39:00
  on TikTok.
• 39:01
  Another thing that
• 39:03
  could be actually problematic down the line
• 39:05
  is if Apple updates their software in a way that it's no longer
• 39:09
  no longer works
• 39:10
  with TikTok,
• 39:11
  that could be a problem for people,
• 39:12
  but that's probably years away.
• 39:15
  If you remember the situation with the game
• 39:18
  Flappy Bird for a few years ago,
• 39:21
  long story short,
• 39:22
  it became a very viral game.
• 39:23
  It was a very difficult game that,
• 39:24
  you know,
• 39:26
  very basic looking but very difficult,
• 39:28
  became a thing for a while,
• 39:30
  Millions and millions of people.
• 39:31
  It was number one on the App Store,
• 39:32
  all that stuff.
• 39:33
  The guy who designed it said,
• 39:34
  Gosh,
• 39:34
  I'm kind of ruining people,
• 39:36
  their attention span,
• 39:37
  and I don't like how much time they're spending on this game,
• 39:40
  so I'm going to delete it from the App Store.
• 39:42
  So if you deleted the app,
• 39:43
  you couldn't re-download it,
• 39:45
  but it was still on your phone,
• 39:45
  it still worked.
• 39:47
  Also,
• 39:47
  if you're on TikTok,
• 39:48
  you could just go to the website
• 39:50
  tikTok.com and look at it.
• 39:52
  So the impact here I think is going to be pretty darn minimal.
• 39:55
  A lot of it has to do with creators and whether they can just go to reels,
• 39:58
  which by the way is basically the same thing that they stole over at Facebook.
• 40:03
  You can just do it there,
• 40:04
  um,
• 40:04
  although the compensation is a little bit different
• 40:07
  and that's been the problem they've complained about.
• 40:09
  Anyway,
• 40:09
  long story short,
• 40:10
  it could be a little bit of a hassle.
• 40:12
  Probably not that big of a deal
• 40:14
  at the end of the day
• 40:15
  and not going to have the impact that I would like,
• 40:17
  which is to take the app
• 40:19
  and literally disintegrate any
• 40:21
  device it comes on.
• 40:22
  If you download it,
• 40:23
  if it's on your phone,
• 40:24
  it just explodes like you're in Hamas.
• 40:27
  That's what I would like myself,
• 40:29
  but
• 40:30
  probably not going to be the new policy of the United States.
• 40:47
  Sarah Gonzalez was on the show I guess last
• 40:49
  week and brought up an important story from Texas.
• 40:52
  The Texas House had this battle between this annoying moderate guy who was going
• 40:58
  with the Democrats and a conservative candidate
• 41:01
  that was favored by the Republicans.
• 41:04
  They broke a bunch of rules to make this happen and unfortunately,
• 41:08
  It worked.
• 41:09
  Texas House elects a new Speaker in blow to far right wing.
• 41:13
  The guy Burroughs actually won.
• 41:15
  The vote was 85 to 55,
• 41:17
  mostly Democrats,
• 41:18
  but a few Republicans got in there,
• 41:20
  as Sarah promised,
• 41:21
  uh,
• 41:21
  they're going to go after every single one of them in primaries,
• 41:23
  so
• 41:24
  it should be,
• 41:24
  uh,
• 41:25
  quite the fireworks show over the next couple of years here in Texas,
• 41:28
  although it is a place
• 41:30
  of racial harmony,
• 41:31
  as I've told you before,
• 41:32
  I am.
• 41:33
  Speaking to you
• 41:33
  from the nation's most diverse city,
• 41:36
  it's true,
• 41:36
  Irving,
• 41:37
  Texas,
• 41:37
  which is like 25,
• 41:38
  almost exactly 25% of four major racial groups
• 41:42
  in the place that we broadcast from,
• 41:44
  and somehow we're OK with it,
• 41:46
  even as conservatives.
• 41:47
  It's amazing.
• 41:48
  Now Texas is ranking number one in racial progress from a report,
• 41:53
  and it's not like all super woke stuff,
• 41:55
  although some of the people involved in it might be.
• 41:57
  It is a measurement
• 41:59
  basically based on a few different categories
• 42:02
  progress on employment,
• 42:03
  wealth,
• 42:04
  education,
• 42:05
  social and civic engagement,
• 42:07
  and health.
• 42:08
  And we combine all those together in the number
• 42:10
  one state in the union for racial progress.
• 42:13
  Texas
• 42:22
  OK,
• 42:22
  so,
• 42:23
  here's what happened.
• 42:24
  Caitlin
• 42:25
  Clark,
• 42:26
  as you see here,
• 42:27
  this is what she looks like in case you didn't know,
• 42:29
  uh,
• 42:30
  she,
• 42:30
  uh,
• 42:31
  and she's,
• 42:31
  by the way,
• 42:32
  sponsored by Eli Lilly,
• 42:33
  makers of Monjaro.
• 42:35
  I don't think she uses it,
• 42:36
  honestly,
• 42:37
  I think she gets a lot of exercise.
• 42:38
  Anyway,
• 42:38
  uh,
• 42:39
  she,
• 42:39
  uh,
• 42:39
  is,
• 42:40
  uh,
• 42:41
  had a stalker.
• 42:42
  This is a sad situation.
• 42:43
  Uh,
• 42:44
  a stalker who was going after her on Twitter slash X,
• 42:47
  and,
• 42:48
  uh,
• 42:49
  he's like sitting there and they're like,
• 42:50
  OK,
• 42:50
  we think you were a stalker,
• 42:52
  and his answer was,
• 42:54
  Guilty as charged.
• 42:56
  Yeah,
• 42:56
  guilty as charged.
• 42:57
  A man accused of stalking Caitlin Clark Clark has a disruptive court hearing.
• 43:01
  Here is the guy,
• 43:02
  by the way,
• 43:02
  who looks almost identical to Mandy Patinkin.
• 43:06
  His name,
• 43:06
  however,
• 43:06
  is Michael Lewis
• 43:07
  Junior,
• 43:08
  or
• 43:08
  actually,
• 43:10
  I don't know if he's just Michael.
• 43:11
  Michael Lewis is an author.
• 43:12
  I don't think it was the author.
• 43:13
  Hopefully
• 43:14
  that would be very bad news.
• 43:15
  Um,
• 43:15
  he said,
• 43:15
  uh,
• 43:16
  throw me the bookie.
• 43:19
  I guess he has some mental health issues,
• 43:20
  apparently was harassing
• 43:22
  Caitlin Clark for a while,
• 43:24
  sending tons and tons of messages,
• 43:25
  uh,
• 43:26
  and,
• 43:26
  uh,
• 43:26
  he is now,
• 43:27
  uh,
• 43:27
  he says what he really needs is
• 43:29
  his mental health medication,
• 43:31
  um,
• 43:31
  but he's going to stay in jail.
• 43:32
  He doesn't want bond.
• 43:33
  He doesn't want bail.
• 43:34
  He's just staying right there.
• 43:36
  Good.
