Glenn Beck is here with his 2020.
0:24
Predictions.
0:25
The Democrats are doing everything they can
0:27
to sabotage the incoming Trump administration.
0:29
We'll look at the latest there,
0:30
but we're going to start by doing
0:32
Biden's parting shots,
0:34
and this is something we might not be paying all that close attention to,
0:37
but
0:38
you know,
0:38
considering it's hard to even believe that Joe Biden
0:40
is still the president of the United States.
0:43
And it's also hard to believe that he could even stand up at this point,
0:45
but he did,
0:47
well,
0:47
he didn't do a stand-up interview,
0:48
he did a sit-down interview.
0:49
So maybe he can't stand up,
0:50
I don't know.
0:50
But he did a sit-down interview with USA Today.
0:52
He revealed his biggest regret and the compliment Trump gave him.
0:56
I don't remember what the compliment was,
0:58
that was the one I was focusing on when I read the article,
1:00
but
1:00
I will say,
1:01
um,
1:01
there is some interesting stuff in here,
1:03
and it kind of highlights what Biden is doing with his last few weeks in office.
1:07
When Biden met with Trump in the Oval Office a week after the November election.
1:10
He urged the president-elect not to go forward
1:13
with threats to target those who have criticized him
1:16
or in Liz Cheney's case,
1:17
helped lead efforts to impeach him.
1:19
I tried to make clear there was no need,
1:21
and it was counterintuitive for his interests to go back and try to settle scores.
1:24
All right,
1:25
Biden also warned that Trump risked upending the economic good times if he
1:32
Because we're in the middle of economic good times,
1:34
boys and girls,
1:35
he didn't want to upend those economic good times
1:37
if he enacts some of the policies he advocates.
1:40
I think if he moves on the tax cuts of $5 trillion
1:42
because usually tax cuts are terrible for the economy.
1:45
Everyone knows that.
1:46
I think if he moves on dealing with increasing tariffs across the board.
1:51
And they are all increasing the cost of consumers in America.
1:54
And if he decides to do away with some of the major programs,
1:57
whether it's dealing with the rescue plan or the infrastructure or the climate law,
2:01
I think he's just going to hurt himself and hurt the economy,
2:03
yeah,
2:03
because upending the climate law would be really rough
2:06
for our economy.
2:07
But then he moves on to a couple of other interesting things.
2:10
Biden's predecessor turned successor
2:12
has vowed to undo much of his legacy.
2:15
Biden has tried to make that as difficult as possible,
2:19
including by spending
2:21
billions of dollars from the $1.2 trillion
2:24
infrastructure bill in red states and districts,
2:26
projects now lauded by some of the
2:28
Republican members of Congress who represent them.
2:29
People like free money.
2:30
That's,
2:31
that's a rock solid law of physics.
2:34
It's the way to lock in a changed economy policy,
2:37
economic policy,
2:38
said Biden.
2:38
So.
2:40
There's a new president coming in.
2:41
He's got a policy,
2:42
but what Biden's trying to do is lock in all of his policies
2:45
so that
2:46
Trump can't really do anything about it.
2:49
I understand that every president does that at some level.
2:52
You want to make your economic legacy go on.
2:55
But
2:56
what Biden's doing is really above and beyond that,
2:59
and I think it's been,
3:00
it's sort of,
3:01
there's been positives and negatives of this
3:04
concept that we've all sort of noticed that
3:06
it feels like Donald Trump's already president,
3:08
right?
3:09
He's the one doing press conferences.
3:10
He's the one making pronouncements.
3:12
He's the one interacting with world leaders.
3:14
He's the one
3:15
seemingly doing the vast majority of the job,
3:17
at least the public facing job.
3:19
But what we can't forget
3:20
is that Joe Biden is still president,
3:22
and he's still
3:24
doing
3:25
things.
3:27
That's not good.
3:29
We talked to,
3:29
we have Glenn Beck coming up in a little bit.
3:31
Glenn,
3:31
uh,
3:32
famously,
3:33
over and over again with Barack Obama used to say,
3:35
watch the other hand,
3:37
you know,
3:37
you,
3:37
you've got a magician in front of you,
3:38
they're doing this trick.
3:39
Watch the other hand.
3:40
What's he doing with that hand?
3:41
Because that's
3:41
where the real magic's gonna happen.
3:43
Well,
3:43
that's kind of what's going on right now
3:45
with Joe Biden.
3:46
Let me give you some examples of this,
3:47
um,
3:48
because it's,
3:48
it's a bit disturbing.
3:50
We talked about this briefly yesterday.
3:52
Biden bans new oil and gas drilling off of
3:55
most US coasts as Trump vows to unban immediately,
3:59
though
3:59
there are some legal issues with whether he can actually unban that immediately.
4:04
President Joe Biden on Monday took sweeping action to permanently ban offshore,
4:08
and permanently being the key word,
4:10
offshore oil and gas drilling of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
4:13
protecting more than 625 million
4:15
federal acres from future leasing.
4:17
But President-elect Donald Trump vowed he will work to reverse the ban,
4:21
calling Biden's 11th hour move ridiculous and promising to unban it immediately.
4:26
That is the way that law is written,
4:28
at least a lot of legal experts believe he can't just unban it himself.
4:32
In other words,
4:32
you can put the ban on permanently
4:34
as President of the United States.
4:36
You can't take it off
4:37
if you are the next President of the United States.
4:40
You have to pass a law in Congress,
4:42
and they might be able to do that actually because
4:44
of the way it's formatted.
4:45
The problem with that is a lot of people
4:47
in,
4:48
you know,
4:48
even in Republican states will say,
4:50
Well,
4:50
we don't want offshore drilling off our coasts.
4:52
Our beaches are awesome.
4:54
So there could be a problem actually getting that through.
4:57
This is a really bizarre thing to do.
4:59
With 2 weeks before his term ends,
5:02
he issued two presidential memoranda under
5:04
the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
5:07
to prohibit offshore drilling
5:09
of the entire
5:10
Atlantic coast,
5:11
the eastern Gulf of Mexico,
5:12
the Pacific coast,
5:13
and the continental US,
5:14
and portions of the northern Bering Sea.
5:17
In Alaska.
5:18
Now Trump did address this in that
5:21
press conference he did yesterday.
5:22
He talked about unbanning it.
5:24
He did get fact checked for this because what
5:26
he actually technically said was the 625 million acres,
5:29
people can't realize it's like the whole ocean.
5:32
The New York Times actually did a fact check of whether it was the whole ocean.
5:38
That's false.
5:39
Mr.
5:39
Trump was referring to an executive order President Biden issued
5:43
on 625 million acres of US coastal water.
5:45
That's about 20% of the 3.2 billion acres of seabed managed by the
5:50
Interior Department and less than 1% of the 360 million square kilometers,
5:55
or 89 billion acres of ocean.
5:57
Did anyone need that fact check?
5:58
Were you like?
5:59
I don't know.
6:00
Did he ban US offshore drilling off the coast of Indonesia?
6:04
I don't know.
6:05
What about the Arctic Sea?
6:07
What did he say about that?
6:09
What about all the waters we have absolutely no control over whatsoever?
6:12
Did he ban drilling there?
6:15
No one thought
6:16
he was banning drilling
6:18
for the US
6:19
off the coast of Australia.
6:22
But the New York Times came in and make sure you knew Trump was lying about that.
6:25
He wasn't.
6:26
Look,
6:27
it was 20% of all the water the US government controls.
6:32
That is a massive,
6:34
massive number,
6:35
and it is a totally
6:38
horrible thing for President Biden to have done because
6:42
we're not even saying that we were going to develop those lands,
6:45
but
6:46
the fact that we had the option.
6:48
To do offshore drilling in those waters is something that
6:50
we could have used if we needed it later on,
6:53
and now
6:54
that's taken out
6:55
of the realm of possibility unless you have some act of Congress,
6:58
and we know how confident Congress is.
7:00
So thanks a lot,
7:01
Joe Biden.
7:01
We'll see if
7:03
I will say
7:04
there's probably
7:05
a legal argument that will be brought up by the incoming Trump administration
7:09
that says actually we can overturn that.
7:11
We will see that play out in the courts,
7:12
of course,
7:13
over time.
7:15
It's not just the waters though.
7:16
Biden is also designating Chuckwalla and
7:20
what's the pronunciation,
7:21
Saitla,
7:22
the Citla Area National Monuments in California.
7:26
Uh,
7:26
President Biden travels to California,
7:28
uh,
7:29
to the Coachella Valley in California.
7:30
To announce the creation of two national monuments that together will protect,
7:34
again these words protect,
7:35
it sounds so awesome,
7:37
doesn't it?
7:37
He's just protecting things.
7:39
They're protecting women's health,
7:41
boys and girls.
7:42
That's how they do this.
7:43
They lie to you.
7:44
They change the words,
7:45
they make it sound good when it's not good.
7:48
Protecting more than 848,000 acres of land in the state
7:51
from drilling and mining,
7:52
as well as wind,
7:53
solar,
7:53
and other energy development.
7:55
Another fascinating part of the green movement.
7:56
They want wind and solar,
7:58
but they won't let you put it anywhere.
8:00
Because
8:01
trees and fish and plants and whatever other BS excuse they come up with.
8:06
According to the White House,
8:07
one site in the mountains near Joshua Tree
8:09
National Park will be designated Chuckwalla National Monument.
8:12
The other
8:13
woodlands north of Mount Shasta near the Oregon border will be the Saitla.
8:18
It's a fun word to say,
8:19
Saitla.
8:21
national monument.
8:21
So there you go.
8:22
The proclamation caps a flurry of final environmental proclamations
8:25
that Mr.
8:26
Biden has issued in final days.
8:27
We talked about the 600 million acres of US waters.
8:30
Um,
8:30
also,
8:31
uh,
8:31
the administration barred oil,
8:32
gas,
8:32
and geothermal development
8:34
in Nevada's high alpine Ruby Mountain
8:37
and also prevented mining and geothermal leasing in
8:39
20,000 acres of the Black Hills National Forest
8:42
in South Dakota.
8:44
Again,
8:44
geothermal is green technology.
8:46
And they won't let you do any of it anywhere,
8:49
it seems like
8:50
just absolutely
8:51
fascinating.
8:52
Now it's not just environmental stuff.
8:55
There's other economic things that they're doing right now.
8:58
Again,
8:58
watch the other hand.
8:59
Sure,
8:59
Donald Trump's talking about Greenland and we're
9:01
going to talk to Glenn about Greenland
9:02
and Canada and Panama.
9:04
All that stuff is actually important at one level.
9:06
The Canada 51st state,
9:08
I don't think is going to happen,
9:08
but generally.
9:09
Speaking,
9:10
it's all pretty important at some level or another,
9:12
but Trump is using,
9:14
excuse me,
9:14
Biden is using Trump's
9:17
way of controlling all the oxygen in a room
9:20
to pass a bunch of stuff through
9:21
that no one is really noticing.
9:23
The Biden administration moves to ban medical debt from credit reports.
9:27
This is incredible.
9:29
The Consumer Federal Protection Bureau moved on Tuesday to ban.
9:31
And medical debt from appearing on credit reports,
9:34
potentially lifting the credit scores of about 15 million Americans
9:37
and making it easier for them to obtain loans.
9:40
The finalized new rule would effectively prohibit loan providers
9:43
from using medical information while making lending decisions.
9:46
It is set to take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register,
9:49
but with President Trump returning to office this month,
9:51
its future remains
9:53
in question.
9:54
And that one kind of like,
9:55
you know,
9:56
as is typical with liberal proposals,
9:59
kind of sounds good,
10:00
right?
10:00
Like you know someone who
10:02
had got into medical debt,
10:03
maybe you weren't insured or maybe
10:05
your insurance didn't cover something,
10:06
you get $50,000 in debt
10:09
and you want to go get a loan out,
10:10
and of course you can't because of all this medical debt and that sucks,
10:13
and we feel for these people,
10:14
we want them to be able to get loans.
10:15
OK,
10:16
fine,
10:16
I get that.
10:17
That makes
10:17
sense from a heart
10:19
perspective.
10:20
Now from a mind perspective,
10:22
if you are a bank
10:24
and you're about to loan someone some money and you don't know that
10:26
they have $50,000 that they have to pay off in the next year,
10:31
what do you think is going to happen to that loan?
10:33
Did any of us live through 2008?
10:36
There was a whole big thing that happened where people took
10:39
out loans they couldn't afford and it almost destroyed our economy.
10:42
If you don't,
10:44
if you're withholding information from lenders
10:47
saying,
10:48
hey,
10:49
you can't even see what this person actually owes.
10:53
What do you think is going to happen?
10:55
People are going to,
10:56
what,
10:56
what would you do?
10:57
Wouldn't you take out when you're at the last moment
11:01
of your medical,
11:02
you know,
11:02
debt payments and you couldn't make them,
11:03
Wouldn't you just go take out a new loan and make
11:06
the payments to your medical debt with the new loan
11:08
and try to draw it out a little bit longer?
11:09
Who's going to get screwed there?
11:11
You can't do that.
11:12
This is going to cause a collapse,
11:14
and of course it's also going to make banks do things like anyone who's borderline.
11:19
Yeah,
11:19
what if they have some medical debt?
11:20
Let's factor in
11:21
$10,000 in medical debt.
11:23
Will we still make this loan?
11:24
No,
11:24
OK,
11:24
don't make this loan to this person who doesn't
11:26
have medical debt and completely deserves the loan.
11:30
It makes absolutely no sense.
11:31
So of course Joe Biden is pushing it through.
11:34
This one looks like
11:35
Donald Trump would be able to reverse it,
11:37
but you know he still has to of course do that.
11:40
Hopes are high,
11:41
I think on that one.
11:41
Biden doing other things as well.
11:43
He's,
11:43
you know,
11:43
he's been pardoning his son and many others.
11:45
He's also commuted the sentences of 37 death row inmates,
11:49
citing moral
11:50
and policy objections to capital punishment.
11:53
He said he was commuting the death sentences of 37.
11:55
Inmates on Monday,
11:56
a move that prevents Donald Trump from executing most men on federal death row.
12:01
The 37 men,
12:02
all convicted of murder,
12:04
will now serve life imprisonment without parole.
12:07
Now this one might not have a big effect on your day to day life.
12:10
If these people actually stay in prison for the rest of their lives,
12:13
it will just cost you a bunch of money and that will be
12:15
the end of it.
12:16
However,
12:17
what I will say,
12:18
and this is my problem with the pardon power generally.
12:22
That's just a change of the law.
12:25
Right,
12:25
he just made the federal death penalty
12:28
illegal,
12:29
mostly.
12:30
He just took it away and said,
12:31
I don't like it,
12:32
and therefore I'm going to pardon all these people,
12:34
and no matter what you do with the federal death penalty,
12:37
those people,
12:38
all those people who were convicted through the normal process,
12:40
who,
12:41
you know,
12:41
who were convicted under the law,
12:43
that law is now extinct.
12:46
And that's why I don't like this policy,
12:48
you know.
12:48
He did this with a bunch of drug
12:50
users as well and was like,
12:51
oh well,
12:52
thousands of people
12:53
who were on these particular
12:56
series of crimes,
12:57
we're just going to blanket give them commutations,
13:00
and it's like,
13:00
well,
13:01
that just means the law doesn't exist anymore.
13:03
You didn't pass that law through Congress.
13:05
You just said that law no longer has any penalty to it.
13:09
I just don't,
13:09
I mean,
13:09
I'm just not a fan of,
13:10
of the pardon power.
13:11
That's,
13:11
that's what kings do,
13:12
OK?
13:13
We should get rid of it.
13:14
I would be for it.
13:15
I would be for at least amending it seriously,
13:17
but maybe just getting rid of it completely.
13:19
Anyway,
13:19
um,
13:20
uh,
13:20
also,
13:21
it's not just,
13:23
you know,
13:23
pardoning people here in the United States.
13:25
This 1 may very well have a real effect in your life.
13:28
US in talks with the Taliban
13:30
for release of Americans held in Afghanistan.
13:33
The Biden administration has been in talks.
13:34
With the Taliban to exchange Americans detained
13:37
in Afghanistan for Afghans in US custody.
13:39
A senior Taliban leader with direct knowledge of
13:41
the negotiations told NBC News on Wednesday,
13:43
who's NBC News apparently in touch with the Taliban,
13:46
just so you guys know.
13:47
The Taliban leader,
13:47
who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he
13:50
was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly,
13:52
said the two sides had been negotiating for the past 2 years,
13:55
but had so far failed
13:56
to reach a deal.
13:57
Now you know what these things look like.
13:58
They're usually really,
13:59
really bad.
14:00
Went through a bunch of this.
14:01
They were trading,
14:02
you know,
14:02
they'd get 5 prisoners back for 500
14:05
criminals,
14:06
and then those 500 criminals come back on October 7th and do different things
14:10
to the country.
14:11
This doesn't work out well typically.
14:13
We do do it occasionally,
14:14
but it doesn't usually work out well.
14:16
We're talking about releasing Guantanamo prisoners,
14:20
and we'll see how that works out.
14:22
I'm sure very,
14:22
very well.
14:23
When I say it could affect your life,
14:24
it could also end it.
14:27
Because
14:27
a lot of these times guys get back on the battlefield,
14:29
they wind up somehow helping and assisting attacks on America or its allies.
14:35
So I look forward to that.
14:37
There's also,
14:38
he's also doing this.
14:39
A woman's suffrage monument
14:40
is coming to the National
14:42
Mall.
14:43
Over the weekend,
14:43
President Joe Biden signed a law allowing
14:46
women's suffrage national monument to be built.
14:48
The bill was first introduced in 2023.
14:50
The monument is expected to be completed between 2032
14:53
and 2033.
14:55
I mean,
14:55
if it was a men's suffrage monument,
14:56
we'd have that done in two weeks,
14:58
OK.
14:59
To be honest about it.
15:01
Women always running late.
15:03
That's just a fact.
15:03
OK,
15:04
um,
15:04
so
15:06
that is what Biden is doing
15:07
with his last moments.
15:08
His,
15:09
his,
15:09
his parting shots to you.
15:11
Now let me show you what your parting shots to him are.
15:15
We know about all the Trump stuff,
15:16
putting him in office is going to undo a lot of the stuff that Biden does.
15:18
That's one way to send a message.
15:20
Another way to send a message is
15:21
to tell Joe Biden exactly how you feel about his presidency.
15:24
Americans think history will rate Biden presidency
15:28
negatively.
15:29
What a shock.
15:31
Expected historical ratings of Joe Biden by political party.
15:36
Democrats say only 12% of Democrats,
15:38
that's Joe Biden's party if you didn't know,
15:40
think it will be an outstanding,
15:41
people will remember it in an outstanding way.
15:43
Only 32% say above average,
15:45
so overall
15:46
a positive view.
15:47
44% of Democrats think it will be viewed positively.
15:52
On the other side,
15:53
38% say average,
15:57
and about 16% say below average or poor.
15:59
For independents,
16:00
it's of course much,
16:01
much worse for Joe Biden.
16:02
Only 15% say it will be above average or outstanding.
16:05
51% say it will be below average or poor.
16:09
Republicans,
16:10
of course,
16:10
even worse.
16:11
You can't even see the outstanding,
16:13
I think the 0%.
16:14
Standing about 1% above average,
16:16
uh,
16:16
about
16:19
93%
16:20
say it will be below average or poor,
16:23
just the 93%.
16:24
But what does that mean?
16:24
I guess that's,
16:25
there's always a split like that,
16:26
right?
16:26
Like Republicans like their presidents,
16:28
Democrats don't
16:29
like theirs.
16:29
Where does this place as far as US history goes?
16:32
Well,
16:32
right near the bottom,
16:33
as you might
16:34
expect,
16:35
only ahead of Richard Nixon.
16:37
Nixon was 12% outstanding or above average.
16:41
Biden is at 19% overall
16:43
outstanding or above average.
16:45
George W.
16:45
Bush
16:46
was at 24%.
16:48
Donald Trump was at 40%,
16:50
uh,
16:50
outstanding or above average.
16:53
Uh,
16:53
and,
16:53
uh,
16:53
you know,
16:54
you have Bill Clinton at 34%,
16:57
Jimmy Carter 32%,
16:58
George HW Bush at 28%.
17:02
And then you've got
17:04
Barack Obama,
17:06
who's up at 48%.
17:08
The only one,
17:08
it's really Obama,
17:09
Reagan,
17:09
and Kennedy are the only three that have a higher positive
17:13
than Donald Trump.
17:15
Trump though has higher negatives than a lot of other presidents.
17:18
There's a lot more
17:19
kind of like
17:20
shoulder shrug of a bunch of presidents before Trump.
17:23
People like George HW Bush,
17:24
48% of people just said,
17:26
ah,
17:26
it was average,
17:27
you know,
17:28
you know,
17:29
it's,
17:29
it's an unfair
17:30
look.
17:31
So what does all this mean?
17:32
It just means that while we are sitting here,
17:34
uh,
17:35
on,
17:35
what is it,
17:35
uh,
17:36
January 8th,
17:37
we've got 12 days until Donald Trump gets back into office.
17:41
Obviously the Trump administration has got a lot to worry about right now.
17:45
They're working on the transition,
17:46
getting people nominated,
17:47
approved.
17:48
All that stuff is going on.
17:51
They need just to keep an eye on that other hand though when it comes
17:55
to Joe Biden because he is doing a bunch of stuff here in the last moments
17:58
to try to make not only the Trump administration's job more difficult,
18:02
but also to lock in the terrible policies that
18:05
Biden had that gave him those terrible approval ratings.
18:08
He's trying to lock in those policies,
18:11
so
18:12
job number one for Donald Trump is going to be to get in.
18:15
And dismantle all the things he's done not only in the past 2 weeks,
18:19
but unfortunately in the past 4 years.
18:31
Alright,
18:32
everyone is saying their 2025 is going to be different,
18:34
and for better or for worse,
18:36
it will be different,
18:37
that's for sure.
18:38
I think it's going to be better,
18:39
hopefully.
18:40
But wouldn't it be nice if 2025 was easier,
18:42
at least,
18:43
and it can be easier with Rayon everyday earbuds.
18:46
They already have tens of thousands of 5-star reviews online.
18:49
Their latest model is better than ever.
18:51
It comes with a 32 hour battery life
18:53
and multi-point connectivity
18:55
that lets you pair two devices.
18:57
At once.
18:58
They also come with active noise cancellation,
19:00
which is great.
19:00
They're available in a bunch of great colors.
19:02
Rayons start at just half the price of other premium audio brands,
19:05
and although 2025 isn't guaranteed to be easy,
19:08
Rayon's return policy very much is.
19:10
They have a 30 day happiness guarantee
19:12
and civil returns.
19:13
But my wife,
19:14
I've had Rayons for a long time now.
19:16
You've heard me talking about them.
19:17
My wife had AirPods,
19:19
the other Apple,
19:20
the Apple ones,
19:21
and she lost them.
19:23
And so she's running around the house,
19:24
she's like,
19:25
I gotta get new AirPods,
19:26
and I go,
19:26
why don't you try Rayons?
19:28
They're better.
19:29
You're going to like them better.
19:30
I've got an extra pair in the other room.
19:32
Now this was not even the new Rayon,
19:33
this is like a generation or two ago.
19:36
I had them from a couple of years ago,
19:37
and I said,
19:38
just use these,
19:38
go to the gym with these,
19:39
see if you like these.
19:41
She comes back,
19:41
she's like,
19:41
Why haven't I been using these the entire time?
19:43
They're way better.
19:44
They fit flush in your ears.
19:45
They're not dangling down.
19:46
I don't knock them out of my ear all the time.
19:48
They're way better.
19:49
Why am I not using these?
19:50
And that's what I said.
19:51
Yes,
19:52
you should,
19:53
you should too.

Yesterday was our 1,000th episode of Studios America,
20:14
and we revealed our most frequent guest list,
20:18
and this is how it went down if you missed it.
20:19
Uh,
20:19
number 5 was a tie between Pat Gray and Rob Eno with 30 appearances.
20:24
Sarah Gonzalez had 42 appearances.
20:27
Jason Buttrell,
20:28
78 appearances.
20:30
Dan Andros with 81 appearances.
20:33
And in first place,
20:35
the most appearances in the entire history of the program with 141 appearances,
20:42
Glenn Beck.
20:43
And here for number 142
20:45
is Mr.
20:46
Beck.
20:46
Glenn,
20:46
welcome to the program
20:48
once again.
20:50
How do I make it stop?
20:52
How do I make it stop?
20:53
I,
20:55
I really,
20:55
do,
20:57
do you look back at your career and think,
20:58
wow,
20:58
141 times on that
21:01
41 times I've been on this stupid,
21:03
stupid show
21:05
and,
21:06
uh,
21:07
you know,
21:08
just.
21:09
I don't know,
21:10
Stu.
21:10
It's maybe,
21:11
maybe we should,
21:11
maybe we,
21:12
maybe you should look at the ratings in a new light.
21:14
You should see that and go,
21:15
hm,
21:16
maybe that's the problem,
21:17
you know what I'm saying?
21:18
Yeah,
21:19
I thought you were the cure,
21:20
but apparently,
21:21
no,
21:21
apparently that's the problem.
21:24
Before we get to your special tonight,
21:26
I,
21:26
I want to talk a little bit about
21:28
Donald Trump and what,
21:30
first of all,
21:30
how he's already president of the United
21:32
States apparently he's doing press conferences,
21:34
which you know,
21:35
all these things that you'd think the president would do,
21:37
and he's sort of outlining in broad strokes
21:40
some controversial policies,
21:42
and I want to go through them with you and maybe you can kind of distill them.
21:45
Into what
21:46
what is his overarching theory here.
21:49
Let's start with Greenland.
21:51
He goes Donald Trump Jr.
21:52
is over there.
21:53
They're they're doing
21:55
this
21:56
this pitch to buy Greenland from
21:59
from Denmark.
22:00
What is Trump trying to do here?
22:03
He's trying to make us competitive.
22:04
He's trying to move us into the,
22:06
uh,
22:06
next phase of America.
22:08
He's turning the page and saying America doesn't have to die.
22:11
America can grow and expand and be,
22:14
uh,
22:14
a world leader again,
22:15
but to do that
22:17
we need,
22:17
uh,
22:18
strategic
22:19
spaces,
22:20
uh,
22:20
close to the homeland.
22:22
Um,
22:22
we need,
22:23
uh,
22:24
to be a big provider of energy.
22:26
We could be the greatest provider of energy for Europe,
22:29
uh,
22:30
because of all the oil that is in Greenland,
22:32
um,
22:33
uh,
22:34
also,
22:35
uh,
22:35
rare earth minerals.
22:36
Uh,
22:37
it is the best investment of,
22:39
you know,
22:39
$1 trillion.01 trillion.5 dollars that I think the United States could ever make,
22:43
um.
22:44
So I,
22:45
I,
22:45
I think it's brilliant that that particular move is,
22:49
let's be aggressive
22:50
and not lay down and die and say it's inevitable.
22:54
Let's write new chapters and begin again.
22:58
Let's kind of call this game real
23:01
or negotiating.
23:02
100% real.
23:04
He really wants to buy Greenland.
23:06
100% real.
23:08
OK,
23:08
yep.
23:08
All right,
23:09
real or negotiating,
23:11
does he really want to make Canada the 51st state?
23:14
Negotiating.
23:16
What's he trying to do there?
23:16
Negotiating.
23:18
Hm.
23:20
What was your question?
23:20
What's he trying to do
23:21
with this negotiation?
23:23
Uh,
23:24
he's really,
23:24
and really with all of them,
23:26
he's just resetting
23:28
America.
23:29
He is saying,
23:30
you know,
23:31
world,
23:31
we're kind of tired of all this,
23:33
you know,
23:33
we have our problems,
23:34
we've caused problems,
23:36
you know,
23:36
but
23:37
we'll fix those.
23:39
It's time for you to step up to the plate.
23:41
You know,
23:41
uh,
23:42
uh,
23:43
Denmark,
23:43
what,
23:44
what have you done for NATO?
23:45
What have you done for national security?
23:48
Canada,
23:49
what have you done
23:50
for national security?
23:51
We,
23:52
we provide all of your security,
23:54
and what are you doing?
23:55
You're just letting all these criminals and all
23:57
of these illegals come across our border.
23:59
Look at how many Chinese are now growing weed farms
24:02
and sending all the money back to the Chinese Communist Party,
24:06
uh,
24:06
up just right across the Canadian border.
24:08
Enough is enough.
24:10
You're gonna stop it,
24:11
or we're going to,
24:12
uh,
24:13
or we're going to hit you with massive,
24:15
uh,
24:16
trade,
24:17
uh,
24:18
uh,
24:19
tariffs.
24:19
And instead of focusing on that,
24:22
he is saying instead,
24:24
you know.
24:25
Uh,
24:26
we love you.
24:27
You love us.
24:28
Why don't we just,
24:29
you're part of the family anyway.
24:30
Why don't you just come into the family?
24:32
It's a way for him to troll,
24:34
um,
24:35
uh,
24:35
the Prime Minister Trudeau,
24:37
and at the same time make his point,
24:40
but in a positive way,
24:42
you know,
24:42
we're,
24:42
we're,
24:43
things are going to change.
24:44
Now,
24:46
we do this the easy way,
24:47
we could do this the hard way.
24:48
All I want you to do is just
24:49
watch your border
24:50
for us,
24:51
OK?
24:52
And,
24:52
uh,
24:53
start pitching in.
24:54
We've
24:55
carried a lot of load for the rest of the world.
24:58
We wanna be everybody's partners and friends,
25:01
but we're not gonna carry the,
25:02
we're not gonna be suckers anymore.
25:04
All right,
25:04
uh,
25:05
real or negotiating
25:06
the Panama Canal,
25:07
we're gonna take it over again.
25:09
I'm not hearing Stu.
25:12
This is the,
25:12
this is the best appearance he's ever had.
25:14
Not hearing you.
25:15
You're not hearing me.
25:16
This is the best,
25:17
this is the best thing that could ever happen to this show.
25:20
I can't hear him.
25:21
The show's ratings are gonna go through the roof if the audience can't hear him.
25:25
This is fantastic.
25:26
Yeah,
25:26
unfortunately the audience can't hear me.
25:28
All right,
25:28
let's take a quick break and uh we'll fix this connection.
25:31
There we are.
25:31
OK,
25:32
there you are.
25:32
Now you are.
25:32
There you are.
25:33
Let's just leave all this in because I think it was funny because you've,
25:36
you said the exact same thing.
25:37
I said,
25:38
which was this was your favorite appearance of all time.
25:40
So leave all that in.
25:43
um,
25:44
OK,
25:44
so,
25:44
uh,
25:45
real or negotiating,
25:46
uh,
25:46
the Panama Canal.
25:47
We're going to take over the Panama Canal.
25:49
Is he real on that?
25:50
Probably the most real,
25:52
uh,
25:52
he's been on anything.
25:54
Uh,
25:54
the most serious,
25:56
uh,
25:57
you know,
25:57
he is,
25:58
he is dead serious when it comes to nuclear weapons and war,
26:01
World War 3.
26:03
you know,
26:04
he has told me
26:05
privately and he has said it publicly.
26:07
Um,
26:08
the dangers of nuclear war have never been more real,
26:11
and you don't want to see what war is like in World War 3,
26:15
he said,
26:15
I,
26:16
I,
26:16
I
26:17
updated our military.
26:19
I,
26:19
I did things as president.
26:22
As uh 45
26:24
that we didn't talk about
26:26
and uh I updated and he said you do not want to see
26:31
the real might of this country.
26:33
He said it's terrifying.
26:34
I know what we can do.
26:36
You don't want war.
26:38
Um,
26:38
now
26:39
to keep us out of war,
26:41
we have a Cuban Missile Crisis that is developing,
26:44
and that is when,
26:45
uh,
26:46
you know,
26:46
the Panama Canal,
26:48
you know,
26:48
we didn't have a problem when England
26:50
through Hong Kong was,
26:52
you know,
26:53
partnering up with the Panama Canal and running things.
26:56
Nobody said anything
26:58
about the Panama Canal.
27:00
This shows how deep,
27:01
uh,
27:01
Donald Trump is on national security.
27:04
This is true national security.
27:06
If you think that Ukraine,
27:09
uh,
27:09
had a point or Russia had a point with their borders,
27:13
they're sitting right next to each other,
27:15
well,
27:15
here's China
27:16
controlling the most strategic
27:19
US asset
27:20
of maybe all time in this hemisphere,
27:23
the Panama Canal.
27:24
China is controlling it,
27:26
and those are,
27:27
they may just look like Chinese citizens,
27:29
they're completely disconnected.
27:31
But you know,
27:32
the,
27:33
uh,
27:33
Chinese Communist Party
27:35
is all over the Panama Canal.
27:37
It has got to stop,
27:39
and Donald Trump is taking a very aggressive,
27:44
very smart,
27:45
wise step
27:47
to get it to stop.
27:48
Mm,
27:49
yeah,
27:49
it's still unbelievable.
27:50
We just gave that up.
27:51
It is legitimately incredible.
27:53
And you know,
27:53
the,
27:54
the fact that no president has,
27:55
has taken this on like Donald Trump is,
27:58
um,
27:58
you know,
27:59
it,
27:59
we talk about,
28:00
well,
28:00
we're gonna go defend Taiwan with what?
28:03
With what?
28:04
If all of your ships are in the Atlantic,
28:06
how long is it gonna take you to get to the Pacific
28:10
if you don't have the Panama Canal?
28:12
How do you get things into the Pacific that we need into the Pacific?
28:16
It,
28:16
it's,
28:17
it's
28:17
insanity that we have let them take that asset.
28:21
Uh,
28:22
and control it and put us over a barrel.
28:25
It,
28:25
it's unacceptable.
28:27
All right,
28:27
last one,
28:28
real or negotiating,
28:29
uh,
28:30
changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
28:33
Absolutely real.
28:35
He's going to do that,
28:35
isn't he?
28:36
Yeah,
28:37
I haven't talked to Mr.
28:37
Rand or McNally,
28:39
uh,
28:39
so I don't know what the rules are.
28:41
I was talking to Charlie Kirk,
28:42
uh,
28:42
today,
28:43
and he said,
28:44
no,
28:44
it's just a committee that gets together and
28:46
the president appoints who's on the committee.
28:47
He said he's,
28:48
we're going to call it the Gulf of America,
28:51
but it is,
28:52
it's very real,
28:53
but it is also negotiation.
28:54
It is also saying to Mexico.
28:57
Um,
28:58
you know,
28:59
we're done with you.
29:00
You can't control your gangs,
29:02
uh,
29:03
you can't control your border,
29:05
um,
29:05
you know,
29:06
it,
29:06
it's,
29:07
we're done.
29:08
You're going to control your border and you're going to control the gangs,
29:11
or we will send in our Navy SEALs and everybody else,
29:14
and we'll decimate,
29:16
uh,
29:16
your,
29:17
uh,
29:17
your drug cartels,
29:19
um,
29:20
and just by the way,
29:21
to let you know how unimportant you are to us now and to the world.
29:25
Um,
29:26
it's not the Gulf of Mexico anymore,
29:28
so he's serious because he wants a new chapter of American,
29:32
uh,
29:33
expansion as far as
29:35
just getting into the game,
29:37
uh,
29:38
not some imperialistic expansion,
29:40
but just
29:41
being America and getting back into the game.
29:44
This is a way for our self-respect,
29:47
so he's doing it for all those reasons,
29:49
but he's also using it as a negotiation to say Mexico,
29:52
uh,
29:53
you can be part of the future or not.
29:55
Um,
29:56
it's interesting because part of me thinks that I mean there is a love of
30:00
from Trump
30:01
toward like an expansionist era,
30:03
and,
30:03
and imperialism has this like
30:05
really bad,
30:06
uh,
30:07
you know,
30:07
association obviously because it's associated with war and destruction and,
30:11
and killing natives and all those other things.
30:13
It's been
30:14
honestly,
30:14
it's kind of who we've been
30:16
in the last 50 years.
30:18
We haven't taken property,
30:20
but we certainly have taken control of the world
30:24
and we've been fine,
30:26
you know,
30:26
does it look like we're,
30:28
uh,
30:28
you know,
30:29
uh,
30:30
short of money.
30:31
You know,
30:31
when,
30:32
uh,
30:32
who was it?
30:32
I think it was Charlie said,
30:34
you know,
30:35
uh,
30:35
to me,
30:35
Charlie Kirk said,
30:36
you know,
30:36
Denmark's not exactly,
30:38
uh,
30:39
wealthy in compared to,
30:40
compared to us.
30:41
Well,
30:41
I don't know what their debt is.
30:44
I know what our debt is.
30:45
We might be the one that has the biggest
30:47
house and all the Ferraris and everything else,
30:49
but we are leveraged beyond belief,
30:52
so we're technically not the richest kids on the block,
30:56
um,
30:56
but we've acted like we were forever.
30:58
It's gotta stop.
30:59
We have to go into reality.
31:01
We do have to make investments,
31:03
investments on bringing factories back here,
31:06
bringing the smartest people in the world
31:09
here for reinvention.
31:12
Um,
31:12
but also investing in actual hard assets.
31:17
Um,
31:17
you have a prediction show tonight.
31:19
Uh,
31:20
you're of course famous for your prognostication over the years,
31:23
um,
31:24
and,
31:24
and you do this kind of every year.
31:25
You,
31:25
you come up with a list of things that you think
31:28
might happen or at least we might go in that direction,
31:30
uh,
31:30
this year.
31:31
Can you kind of preview this for us?
31:34
Uh,
31:35
yeah,
31:36
things are gonna be tough next year.
31:38
We're gonna have some real,
31:39
uh,
31:39
problems,
31:40
but there are also some very exciting good things that are on the horizon.
31:45
You know,
31:45
generally,
31:46
uh,
31:46
I think the way we've done this,
31:47
I mean,
31:47
these are different than the predictions that I've,
31:50
you know,
31:50
made about the caliphate.
31:52
Those,
31:52
those things usually come to me spiritually,
31:55
um,
31:56
and so I'll stand by those predictions.
31:58
This is me,
31:59
uh,
32:00
looking at the world and then saying,
32:01
OK.
32:02
Uh,
32:03
using your,
32:04
your noggin and just logic,
32:07
what do you see
32:08
coming?
32:09
And so,
32:10
you know,
32:10
last year we had,
32:11
I think 87%
32:13
of it was right.
32:15
Of course,
32:16
you know,
32:16
I'm not going to make it easy for you to check.
32:18
You're just going to have to take
32:19
my word for that.
32:20
But
32:23
so tonight we're just going to talk about the things that are coming and,
32:26
and China and the United States are going to get closer to.
32:34
A decision
32:35
of are we gonna go to war or not,
32:37
um,
32:38
and we,
32:38
we start with some of the wars that are happening
32:41
and what's gonna happen now that Donald Trump is president,
32:44
what's gonna happen with our economy and the banking sector,
32:47
uh,
32:48
a lot of,
32:48
a lot of things and also science,
32:51
technology,
32:51
and space.
32:52
Should do you are are you,
32:53
do you have anything on there about the level of concern you have of the sun.
32:58
Uh,
32:58
just suddenly like shutting off
33:01
like it did right behind you moments ago.
33:04
Uh,
33:04
it seems like I was looking out a window and it was snowy,
33:07
and now all of a sudden it's just pitch black.
33:10
Like what is happening?
33:10
Yeah,
33:11
the sun went out up here,
33:12
sun went out up here.
33:13
It was really terrible,
33:14
very bad.
33:16
Yeah,
33:16
I mean,
33:16
can we not turn this stuff off until I'm off the air for the love of Pete.
33:22
The illusion has been wrecked.
33:23
I wish I could make myself disappear from this chair right now.
33:28
And I'm not AI boom.
33:30
You've requested that in multiple other interviews with me too,
33:33
so I,
33:33
I,
33:33
I'm used to that.
33:34
I just
33:35
not be in the chair.
33:37
Glenn Beck,

thank you for coming back on.
33:55
I appreciate it.
33:56
You got it,
33:57
Stu.
33:57
Thanks.
34:06
Well,
34:06
I know you want to trust tech companies to give you your news whenever you can,
34:10
so get excited.
34:11
Google is unveiling an AI powered television
34:14
that will summarize the news for you.
34:17
Uh,
34:17
this is coming up at CES 2025.
34:19
I don't see what could possibly go wrong with that.
34:21
Uh,
34:21
I mean.
34:23
I will say
34:24
this stuff is coming and you know I think a lot,
34:27
like I,
34:27
I've talked to some people who just,
34:29
you know,
34:29
are just like I'm not touching that stuff,
34:30
I'm not going anywhere near AI.
34:32
I've tried to experiment with it a little bit to
34:34
try to understand what it is and what it means and
34:37
you know I just,
34:37
I honestly just see that like
34:40
over time
34:41
this is going to become
34:42
good enough that it's going to be difficult to not use.
34:45
You know I have a friend who was working and
34:47
she was writing some marketing materials for her business.
34:51
And like,
34:51
you know,
34:51
she would sit down normally and spend a few hours like,
34:54
you know,
34:55
poking away.
34:55
She wasn't a normal writer,
34:56
so it took a while.
34:58
And this is just like,
34:59
she types in the things that she wants,
35:00
it spits out this thing that's 80% there in
35:03
12 seconds.
35:04
It's like I'm just,
35:05
people are just gonna do it,
35:06
so we better understand it,
35:07
we better understand
35:08
how to push back against it when it's wrong,
35:10
uh,
35:11
and really keep monitoring it because it is.
35:13
It's,
35:14
it's going to be a shocking new world.
35:16
Speaking of AI
35:17
chat GBT
35:19
at use and
35:21
sometimes you're like,
35:21
well,
35:21
I wonder if some of this news story was written by
35:24
chat GPT.
35:25
It kind of seems like maybe it was.
35:27
What if the news story was inspired by chat GPT?
35:30
Well,
35:30
we have that story now.
35:31
The man who exploded a Tesla cyber truck outside of the Trump Hotel
35:34
in Vegas
35:35
used generative AI.
35:38
Police say
35:39
how
35:40
they say,
35:41
by the way,
35:41
this is the first incident they are aware of where this was used on US soil
35:45
to build a particular device.
35:48
He basically went on open AI and tried to figure out stuff like
35:51
the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel,
35:54
whether fireworks were legal in Arizona,
35:58
information on explosive targets.
36:00
Chat GPT says they are committed.
36:03
To seeing its tools used responsibly.
36:05
Well,
36:05
that's good.
36:06
So we're all set on that one.
36:07
But
36:07
in this case,
36:08
Chat GBT responded with information already publicly available on the internet
36:12
and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities.
36:14
We're working with law enforcement.
36:15
I mean that's true.
36:16
At some level there's only so much they can do.
36:18
They're taking information.
36:19
From the internet,
36:20
and I don't know if,
36:21
if you've never used chat GPT,
36:23
it is like
36:24
84%
36:25
disclaimers.
36:27
It's like,
36:27
don't,
36:27
don't,
36:28
this,
36:28
this means this,
36:28
and here's a bunch of disclaimers,
36:29
and now here's the little bit of information you were looking for,
36:31
and here's 19 more disclaimers.
36:33
Now,
36:33
people who know how to use this can get rid of that stuff,
36:35
but
36:36
my,
36:36
my point is,
36:37
they have built that into the software.
36:39
They,
36:39
that's they're out,
36:40
right?
36:41
We said don't use this to be,
36:42
to do illegal stuff.
36:44
Here's the address of that person you want to murder,
36:46
don't use it to murder them.
36:47
You know it's a lot of that type of stuff,
36:48
and we'll see how that plays out later on.
36:50
Elon Musk,
36:51
of course,
36:51
he's got a new AI Grok 2 is coming out soon,
36:54
so that's around the corner.
36:56
Also,
36:57
we're seeing
37:00
now Facebook,
37:00
we talked about that at length yesterday,
37:03
and they are moving their
37:05
operations as far as moderation goes,
37:07
content moderation from California to Texas now.
37:11
A lot of people are doing it.
37:12
Lots of staffers are moving to
37:14
what they call billionaire friendly Texas,
37:16
which.
37:17
Again,
37:18
it's friendly to everybody here in Texas.
37:20
That's the great thing about being in Texas.
37:21
They don't vilify you for the things you accomplish.
37:24
If you happen to be a billionaire,
37:25
yeah,
37:25
it's good for you.
37:26
If you happen to be a normal person,
37:27
also good for you.
37:28
That's why
37:29
we talked about that U-Haul map yesterday,
37:31
where are people are moving from,
37:32
where are people moving to,
37:34
uh,
37:34
the number 1 place they're moving from
37:37
was California.
37:38
The number 2 place
37:39
they're moving to
37:41
is Texas.
37:42
What's number 1?
37:44
You just said Florida,
37:45
didn't you?
37:45
No,
37:45
it's uh South Carolina,
37:47
in case you were wondering.
37:48
Florida was 4th on that list.
37:49
And I gotta say,
37:50
you know,
37:50
I love Rhonda Santos,
37:51
I love Florida.
37:52
I was there over the holiday,
37:54
a little bit.
37:55
It's a great place to be.
37:56
Got lots of friends who live there.
37:58
Can we,
37:58
can we give Texas a little bit of its due though?
38:00
Uh,
38:00
it's pretty freaking great here as well.
38:02
Although today,
38:03
a little too cold.
38:03
That's one thing I will complain about.
38:05
Uh,
38:05
McDonald's is backing away from its DEI programs amid shifting legal landscape.
38:10
This is interesting.
38:11
because this is less about,
38:13
hey,
38:13
you know,
38:14
we think
38:15
DEI is wrong or hey,
38:17
we see Donald Trump coming in and we're scared of him.
38:20
It's more of like,
38:20
hey,
38:21
we read that Supreme Court ruling and we're not sure how this affects us.
38:24
They say following the Supreme Court ruling
38:26
in Students for Fair Admissions versus Harvard,
38:29
we also assessed the shifting legal landscape into Anticipate
38:33
how this ruling may impact corporations such as McDonald's.
38:36
So we benchmarked our approach to other companies
38:38
who are also reevaluating their own programs.
38:41
They are going to eliminate aspirational representation goals,
38:45
axing its supply chain pledge.
38:48
They are embedding inclusion practices to grow
38:51
our business into our everyday process operations.
38:53
That one is weird because
38:55
Embed inclusion process kind of seems like they're just going around
38:58
what they were doing before,
38:59
but
39:00
they also say they would pause participation in external surveys to focus
39:04
on the work we are doing internally to grow the business.
39:06
This is a great one,
39:07
by the way.
39:07
This is a legitimately,
39:09
it sounds stupid.
39:10
They're pausing surveys.
39:11
It's a really,
39:12
really important part of this because
39:14
What happens is the LGBTQ Human Rights Foundation
39:19
comes to them and says,
39:20
Hey,
39:21
fill out this survey about how much you like
39:22
LGBTQ people and what you're doing for them.
39:25
And so they are like,
39:25
Crap,
39:26
if we're going to fill out this survey,
39:27
we have to do all these things to check these boxes
39:30
before they find out we're not doing them.
39:32
So
39:33
and then like these companies or these
39:35
organizations are basically running the companies,
39:37
right?
39:38
Just dropping out of that process is really,
39:40
really important.
39:41
And finally,
39:42
The Washington Post is laying off roughly
39:45
100 staffers,
39:46
as,
39:47
as they say,
39:48
as CNN says,
39:49
as star journalists exit.
39:53
OK,
39:53
so 100 staffers going away,
39:54
but star journalists
39:56
are exiting.
39:57
Who are the star journalists,
39:58
ready for the names?
39:59
This is,
40:00
this is,
40:00
it's gonna be like Beyonce
40:02
and Madonna,
40:03
and,
40:04
uh,
40:04
you know,
40:05
uh,
40:06
all the most,
40:06
Taylor Swift,
40:07
the most famous people in the world,
40:08
you're gonna know these names,
40:09
right?
40:09
Here are the star journalists that are exiting.
40:11
Mattea Gold,
40:13
Ashley Parker.
40:15
Fred McCostraf.
40:18
Michael Shearer.
40:20
Tyler Pager.
40:22
Aaron Perlman.
40:25
Josh
40:26
Dorsey.
40:28
Leanne Caldwell.
40:30
And Telnaus.
40:33
And Scott Ottman.
40:38
Would you recognize any of those names?
40:40
Maybe Mattea Gold because she was the managing editor.
40:43
Maybe you'd recognize that one.
40:44
Any of the other ones?
40:46
How about this?
40:46
Not only do I know you didn't recognize all those names,
40:49
I know because 3 of them I just made up.
40:52
3 of those names are completely fake,
40:54
and I'm not even going to tell you
40:55
which ones they are.
40:56
Back in a second.
41:08
Alright,
41:08
think about the Trump term for a second here,
41:09
the 2nd term.
41:11
It seems like he's got 4 years to do what he needs to do,
41:13
right?
41:13
But not really,
41:14
because
41:14
the 2nd 2 years are going to be after the congressional elections.
41:18
Who knows how that goes,
41:19
right?
41:19
It could be bad for Republicans.
41:21
You might not be able to pass anything in those last 2 years.
41:23
Then the previous year,
41:24
which is the 2nd year of the Trump,
41:27
uh,
41:27
Trump administration here,
41:29
is going to be a lot of campaigning,
41:31
and people in those purple districts might not want to take chances.
41:35
So you've got to pack everything into this first year.
41:37
Well,
41:38
what do you do in that first year if you're Democrats?
41:40
You delay these nominations and these approvals as long as possible.
41:44
Draw that process out,
41:46
because that shrinks the window where you can get something done.
41:48
They're doing that now with Tulsi Gabbard,
41:50
uh,
41:50
Scooper Maxios,
41:51
Senate Dems delay Tulsi Gabbard
41:53
nomination.
41:54
They're going to do this as much as they can.
41:56
So that's part one to understand about this story.
41:58
The second part to understand about it
42:00
is it's interesting what the Democrats are doing here.
42:02
They should be thrilled with Tulsi Gabbard.
42:04
I mean,
42:04
Tulsi Gabbard again
42:05
was running for
42:07
the president of the United States as a Democrat.
42:08
She was leading a campaign
42:10
for Bernie Sanders not that long ago,
42:13
and while she has changed on a lot of things,
42:16
she hasn't changed on stuff like intelligence
42:19
and war
42:21
and and those types of things,
42:22
which might be frustrating.
42:24
To maybe
42:25
traditional conservatives,
42:27
she hasn't really come toward the conservative line on any of those things.
42:30
She's just as Bernie Sanders as she was back in the day.
42:33
You'd think they'd like that.
42:35
You'd think a lot of Democrats would vote for an RFK Jr.
42:38
with the same sort of argument.
42:39
We will see if that happens,
42:40
but as of right now they're trying to delay it.
42:43
We'll watch closely.
42:51
OK,
42:52
so here's what happened.
42:53
A small Italian village,
42:56
uh,
42:57
called Bel Castro
42:58
had about 1200,
42:59
1200 residents,
43:00
and about half of them are over the age of 65.
43:04
And of course,
43:05
you know,
43:05
health problems tend to pop up in that general age vicinity.
43:10
And the problem was they have an ER,
43:12
but the ER is 28 miles away
43:15
and only reachable by a road with an 18 mile an hour speed limit.
43:19
So that's an issue,
43:19
right?
43:20
So how do you solve that?
43:21
You've got all these health problems,
43:22
no one really to get people healthy.
43:24
Well,
43:24
the Italian village forbid residents from becoming ill.
43:28
There you go.
43:29
That,
43:29
that,
43:29
that should do it.
43:29
We could have got rid of COVID like on day one with that policy.
