Speaker 2 You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 2 All right. Hello, Stu.
How are you?

Speaker 3 Glenn, how are you in DC?

Speaker 2 I am good. I tell you, the allergies,

Speaker 2 the trees and everything is just, they exploded in my throat yesterday.

Speaker 2 And so I'm not sure how long my voice will last. And I have have to save it because I'm meeting with the president

Speaker 2 a little later on this afternoon. I'm going to spend a couple of hours with him.

Speaker 2 And that show will broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. on Blaze.
So just stick with me.

Speaker 2 All right. Let me let's start here with POTUS, or I mean with SCOTUS.

Speaker 2 A battle for the kids, the soul of our children, began yesterday in the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 The case involves a group of parents suing the largest school district in Maryland for their right to withdraw their children from classes on days that books with gay and transgender characters themes are discussed.

Speaker 2 The parents are suing on religious freedom grounds. In 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools added LGBTQ themed books to their curriculum for students from pre-K through the fifth grade.

Speaker 2 The books include things like Pride Puppy, an alphabet book about a family whose puppy gets lost at a pride parade. Love and Violet, about a girl who has a crush on her female classmate.

Speaker 2 These are pre-K to fifth grade. And Born Ready, about a transgender boy.
Again, these books added to pre-K to fifth grade. This new curriculum is DEI for elementary children.

Speaker 2 Now, at first, the Maryland School District allowed or alerted parents when the storybooks were going to be used in class and allowed them to have their children excused from the sessions.

Speaker 2 But the district has sent stop giving both advance notice and an opt-out policy saying it's too hard to administer. I mean, geez, it's really, really.

Speaker 2 And it leads to lots of absences and stigmatizes some kids. Huh.

Speaker 2 I want you to know this case is not about a few storybooks, a few colorful, you know, pictures of little puppies getting lost.

Speaker 2 It's about whether you, as a parent, still have a God-given right to raise your children according to your faith and your values and your common sense? Do you have the right?

Speaker 2 Because if the Supreme Court says no,

Speaker 2 you don't have that right anymore. If the First Amendment free exercise clause doesn't protect this, your right as a parent,

Speaker 2 then

Speaker 2 what are all our rights even for? If we don't have a right as a parent to parent our children, none of the rights really even matter.

Speaker 2 Now, the parents who are suing insist that these books, quote, promote one-sided transgender ideology, encourage gender transitioning, and focus

Speaker 2 excessively on romantic infatuation. By the way, the parents are not seeking to remove the books from classrooms or the children's libraries.

Speaker 2 They just don't want their children to have to sit through these indoctrination sessions. Oh, that's not good enough.
You will comply.

Speaker 2 That's what it's all about.

Speaker 2 They're not trying to erase anyone's story.

Speaker 2 They just want to not comply.

Speaker 2 They want to shield their children from ideas that contradict their faith. What is the First Amendment really all about? Sounds reasonable.
Sounds like basic parenting 101.

Speaker 2 First Amendment is clear. You cannot burden someone's free exercise of religion, forcing kids to engage with ideas that violate their family's deeply held beliefs.
That is clearly, clearly a burden.

Speaker 2 Religious liberty is in the First Amendment. It is not a second-class right.
It is a first-class right.

Speaker 2 Besides, this is basic common sense, or at least used to be. Parents have the right to guide their kids on any sensitive topic like sex, sexuality, or yes, even gender.
It's not the school's job.

Speaker 2 It's your job, period. Now, this should be a slam dunk for the parents, but I don't even know.
I mean, if the Supreme Court doesn't see that, parents won't just be losing this case.

Speaker 2 We'll be losing even more freedom to raise our own kids. This one is a very, very

Speaker 2 deep red, crimson line in the sand that the Supreme Court cannot cross.

Speaker 2 But we'll we'll see. Apparently yesterday, did you hear any of the arguments, Stu?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I read about them. It definitely seemed like the conservative justices were a bit skeptical of the idea that

Speaker 3 you get to force parents to keep their kids in these classes, even if they oppose it

Speaker 3 when you're reading these books. But, you know, of course, you never know.
We've seen crazy things happen in the Supreme Court before.

Speaker 3 What's fascinating to me is, and what's the motivation here, Glenn? You tell me.

Speaker 3 If you're going to have one of these situations where you have these books, and as you point out, they are not like, okay, there happens to be a gay character in a book about something else.

Speaker 3 Like, it is like straight out, like books about why you should think these lifestyles and choices are okay, right? Like, it is straight out what they're doing to pre-K to fifth graders.

Speaker 3 So, really, really young. This is not like,

Speaker 3 you know, some of these situations they like to push out there, like, oh, you don't want high schoolers to read these books. It's not even what they're talking about.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 3 what could be the motivation of not allowing parents to opt their kids out here? They did offer that, as you noted. They did offer that the first year that these books.
It's a hassle.

Speaker 2 It's a hassle.

Speaker 3 I love that. There's no innocuous, there's no innocuous explanation for this, right? It's just, we want your kids to believe these things.
Therefore, we will force them to stay in class.

Speaker 3 What do you mean it's hard to administer? There's all sorts of things that would allow, that you'd allow kids to leave class for.

Speaker 3 It's not hard to administer a kid walking out and doing something else, learning something different.

Speaker 3 What's the motivation? What's the innocuous tale here, Glenn?

Speaker 2 There is none. There is none.

Speaker 2 You go back to the Bible. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? And, you know, the angels come into town.
They're looking just for one person. Just what can we find one person?

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 they go in and they find one.

Speaker 2 They find one.

Speaker 2 And he sees the angels and he's like, come on, come on, get into the house, get into the house. And he gets them into the house.
And, you know, like, you're not safe out there.

Speaker 2 And then they start beating on the door. Hey, let us in.
We saw these two guys. We saw these two guys.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 you need to bring them out here.

Speaker 2 The answer was, no, no, no. I tell you what, I'll give you my daughter.

Speaker 2 Just not these guys. Now, you found that a little, you know, that's when the angels should have went and went, you know, I don't know if we found the right guy here, but it was a different time.

Speaker 2 We'll give you our daughter first. Give you our daughter.
Just leave them alone. No.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 You had to comply.

Speaker 2 If you were coming in to the city, you must comply. They wanted to sodomize the angels.

Speaker 2 No, thank you. No,

Speaker 2 I'm all

Speaker 2 sodomy. I'm all alive.
The voucher says I'm getting too much sodomy.

Speaker 2 But that is what's happening again.

Speaker 2 Even if you don't believe in angels or you don't believe in the story of the Bible, this is a very good parable. I am going to believe it, but...
It's a very good parable on what was going on.

Speaker 2 Let's just look at the Bible as just saying, what was a general thing? You can describe it any way you want, but what was generally going on? The city had been taken over by just absolute degenerates.

Speaker 2 And sodomy had become such a big deal. You know what? They actually taught my daughter in a Catholic school at Fordham University.
They taught my daughter that sodomy,

Speaker 2 sodomy dad was just their way of greeting people.

Speaker 2 You had a Catholic school teach you that? That sodomy wasn't bad. It was just the way they greeted people.
Hey, drop your pants. I want to greet you.
That's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 2 But that's just the way it was. Well, you know what? I don't want to live in a city where they drop their pants to greet you.

Speaker 2 I just don't, I think that's probably wrong. Speak for yourself.
You know, even if that was

Speaker 3 a lot of people, lots of people, but you have to understand. You can't opt out of it.
You need to make sure that you're participating in the traditional greetings of that society.

Speaker 2 This is a philosophy that has no forgiveness, and you're either on board or you're not. You're either 100%

Speaker 2 in

Speaker 2 or you're an outcast, and you will comply.

Speaker 2 This is what the left just doesn't understand. I shouldn't say the left understands this.
The average Democrat doesn't understand.

Speaker 2 They think, because the average Democrat, I think, is still kind of thinking, well, you know, I mean, I don't like all of that, but I want to be tolerant. There is no tolerance with this.

Speaker 2 There's none. And this should show you.
There is no reason to force these parents or force these kids to go against their parents' teaching other than you will participate. You will comply.

Speaker 3 That's all that is. Yeah, I love too.
One of their outs on this from the left is basically to say, look, if

Speaker 3 if you don't want your kids to learn this stuff, then you should homeschool or put your kids in Christian schools. Now, of course,

Speaker 3 it's actually Christians, Jews, and Muslims. One of the lead defendants here is a Muslim, actually,

Speaker 3 is trying to pull their kids out of this. And they have.

Speaker 3 Which is a fascinating argument from the left, considering how hard they fought against school choice all this time. I mean, they have tried to prevent it.

Speaker 3 They've tried to prevent the rights for you to educate your own kids, and they're trying to force you to pay for that education, not once, but twice.

Speaker 3 That's their answer. Like, if you don't want to learn what we're teaching you, then you get to pay twice as much for an education you're going to get outside of these walls.

Speaker 2 I will tell you that

Speaker 2 I talked to some people over the last couple of days up here, some of them with the Department of Education, and they are thrilled to dismantle that thing. They are very,

Speaker 2 very excited to dismantle the Department of Education. They're on the inside and they're like, it's freaking them out and it is, we're shutting this thing down.

Speaker 2 And it couldn't be more exhilarating, quite honestly. I mean, tell me what the Department of Education has done.
Look at how they are, they're taking on

Speaker 2 private schools and they're saying, you don't have a right to private education or you have a right, but

Speaker 2 we're not going to give you any vouchers. We're not going to spend any.

Speaker 2 And look at what we're spending money on a system that is getting worse and worse and worse and we're trapping our children into

Speaker 2 uh into slavery if your kids can't read i mean

Speaker 2 go back to the 1800s do you know that it was i believe it was the death penalty to teach someone a slave how to read did you know that

Speaker 2 It was a crime of the highest order to teach a slave to read. Why?

Speaker 2 Because if they can read, they can think. If they can think, they're no longer going to be a slave.
That's why. So this progressive, these people have hated,

Speaker 2 have hated the African American forever. It's the same people that started the Klan.

Speaker 2 It's the progressive movement that tried to wipe out every black with Planned Parenthood, and they're still doing it and getting away with it.

Speaker 2 Is there a reason why all of the abortion clinics happen to fall in the black zip codes is there a reason that that's where most of them are

Speaker 2 gee i don't know

Speaker 2 they're still doing it they were the ones that were over in germany telling you how to get rid of the jews yes that was an american thing not a german thing that was us

Speaker 2 My gosh, these people have hated and hated and hated. And then the guy,

Speaker 2 Johnson, who who stopped the civil rights movement, he stopped the Civil Rights Act in 1959. He was the guy who stopped it.
Then just four or five years later, he signs it in and he's proud to do it.

Speaker 2 And then he signs the

Speaker 2 great, what do you call it? The great society bills. So we have a great society that's going to help the black man.
And what does it do? It tears their families apart.

Speaker 2 It drives them further into poverty. It miseducates their children so they're just nincome poops.
And then, by the way, white people are nincome poops as well because we get the same damn education.

Speaker 2 Who has this hurt? This has hurt the black man more than the white man.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 these people, they still get away with it. Now, ask yourself a question.

Speaker 2 If you're paying taxes and this is your country,

Speaker 2 why the hell can't you say, I'm not educating my kid there and I'm not paying you for that education because I think that education is evil.

Speaker 2 I think that education is so evil because look what it's doing to our kids. It's teaching them that they should be slaves.

Speaker 2 It's not teaching them how to think. It's teaching them what you want them to think.

Speaker 2 No, not going to do it anymore. All right, back in just a second.

Speaker 2 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 All right. Hello, Stu.
Welcome to the program.

Speaker 3 Thanks, Glenn. Big day today.

Speaker 2 Yeah, big day.

Speaker 3 We've got, of course, an interview with the President of the United States going to be airing tonight on Blaze TV. Blaze TV.com slash Glenn, by the way, promo code Glenn.

Speaker 3 If you'd like to join Blaze TV and save 20 bucks, do you have kind of an approach here at this point? Do you know what you're going to ask him?

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 I mean, I do. I've got pages and pages of questions and notes.

Speaker 2 But now I have to, you know, it's going to take me an hour or two just to whittle it down to the questions I think I can get in.

Speaker 2 You know, I've got, I don't know, 45 minutes or an hour with the president.

Speaker 2 And that's from the moment he walks in to the moment he leaves.

Speaker 2 So you don't have a lot of of time. And, you know, every single word counts.

Speaker 2 I know, I'm going to start with this. I asked just for a list of the things that he accomplished in the first 100 days.
And we got to page 89. I'll have all of them tonight.

Speaker 2 This is the first 80, I think 89 days.

Speaker 2 Look at that.

Speaker 2 That's just a list of the accomplishments of the first 89 days.

Speaker 2 That's, what did you say, that? Four inches thick?

Speaker 2 I mean, this guy has made more progress than any other president or many presidents combined in the first 100 days. Nobody's done

Speaker 2 what he's done. But, you know, one of the things, and I don't know how I'm going to, because I can't ask him directly.

Speaker 2 So I kind of try to ask him several questions all the way through that'll kind of give you a sense of

Speaker 2 Are we looking for a reprieve? Is that where we're going to get a four-year reprieve if the economy doesn't turn around fast enough? Because I believe the president can turn it around.

Speaker 2 But if it doesn't turn it around fast enough, or if people don't understand that he is changing the entire structure of the world, and he's trying to do it in two years, really,

Speaker 2 we're going to be left with a reprieve and not

Speaker 2 a fundamental change.

Speaker 2 And does he think that's really possible? Especially without Congress. I mean, I'm going to rail on Congress.

Speaker 2 I don't know if he'll join me on that, but I really want to know why he isn't pounding Congress into the dirt. I mean, Congress is, they're not helpful at all.

Speaker 2 And no matter what anybody says, I've talked to enough people just the last few days here to tell you that anybody who tells you that the Senate and the House leadership is on the president's side,

Speaker 2 they don't know their butt from their elbow. They have no idea what they're talking about.
They are not on his side. They are not working with him.

Speaker 2 And that's obvious. I mean, they should be passing.

Speaker 2 You know, I know this is going to be,

Speaker 2 you know, he said, I'm going to pass the largest tax cut. Well, he's not.
He's what the Congress is doing is he's actually

Speaker 2 thwarting the largest tax increase in American history that would come next year.

Speaker 2 Well, the country needs a tax cut, a tax plan that will actually encourage spending on business, encourage spending on

Speaker 2 creating jobs. I also want to talk to him about energy.
I mean,

Speaker 2 what do you think, Stu? What are the questions you want to know?

Speaker 3 I think the economy is a big one and how he's going to kind of go forward with that. We talked about having that sort of positive agenda.
I think that would be helpful.

Speaker 3 It seems like the markets are liking that today. There's a little bit of a, maybe a little bit of an approach change over the past couple of days, and that seems to be helping quite a bit.

Speaker 3 I think that's a big one. I think certainly energy is a big one.

Speaker 3 Department of Education

Speaker 3 is another one. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 2 Go back to the positive.

Speaker 2 What do you mean by that? Like, we talked about energy going in and saying, look, I'm going to build all these nuclear power plants in the next three years.

Speaker 2 Testimony on the Hill yesterday, day before yesterday, from the president of, you know, former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, was was pretty clear.

Speaker 2 We are going to, right now,

Speaker 2 the cloud services, if you will, the compute power for all of the big, you know, computer

Speaker 2 cloud servers, they require currently 3%

Speaker 2 of all of the electricity that is used in the United States. 3%.

Speaker 2 In three years, they will require 99%

Speaker 2 of our energy. Well, there's no way that can happen without us having blackouts and brownouts and, you know, the rest of the country just starving itself from electricity.

Speaker 2 That'll just collapse everything. So a positive way to deal with this is to say, I am going to do the biggest energy push ever in American history.
And he's already done it for oil and coal.

Speaker 2 Now he just needs to say, I'm cutting the red tape. I'm going to make sure that they're safe.

Speaker 2 But there's new technology now with nuclear power plants, and we're going to drop them in city after city after city where these cloud servers are going to be.

Speaker 2 Because if Eric Schmidt is right, and I believe he is, each one of these cloud servers by 2030 will need a nuclear, full-size nuclear power plant themselves.

Speaker 2 That's incredible.

Speaker 3 It's incomprehensible. But yeah, as you point out, instead of saying

Speaker 3 like an alternate approach to that would be, hey, we need to stop stop these AI companies from doing this. We need to make sure that they are not taking a work.

Speaker 3 That's the, I would say, what the left wouldn't typically do in a situation like this. They would try to stop the companies from growing.
They would try to stop them from innovating.

Speaker 3 They would say, you need to do more with less.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 I think the conservative argument there is to say, hey, no, we're going to give you the tools that you need.

Speaker 3 We're going to make it easy for these companies to build nuclear power plants in a safe way, of course. But

Speaker 3 reliable energy that can can fuel these things would be great.

Speaker 3 I think the same thing, you know, I think if you look at Trump's economic plan, he wants to bring, let's say, manufacturing back to the United States.

Speaker 3 Well, there's a couple ways that you can do that, and both of them are completely consistent with what Trump wants to do. One of them is obviously tariffs.

Speaker 3 That's what has had almost all the attention. I think there's a reason why the media focuses on that.
I think

Speaker 3 they'd rather talk about the tariffs because they're not as popular. The other side of it is incentivizing companies to come here.
It's cutting regulation. It's cutting taxes.

Speaker 3 It's making the United States into the greatest place to do business. People will want to come here.

Speaker 3 And the Democrats have worked really hard to take that impression away from the world over the past 20 years.

Speaker 3 And Trump, I think, in his first term, did a good job at encouraging that sort of development here. I think it went pretty well with the economy.

Speaker 3 And I think like that, just it's just a, I think he believes that still. He just, it hasn't been the focus

Speaker 3 as much of the messaging. And I think that could help.

Speaker 2 This is the problem. And I'm going to try to get him to explain this.

Speaker 2 I can't ask him. I don't think I can ask him directly because the president, if you say, look, how much trouble are we in?

Speaker 2 You know, and is this fixable? Of course he's going to say, yeah, it's absolutely fixable. But he needs to articulate, or somebody needs to articulate how close to the edge of the abyss we are.

Speaker 2 I mean, I, you know,

Speaker 2 Stu, you know, I have, I've talked about this economic stuff over and over again. I had a conversation with somebody who I can't say who,

Speaker 2 but they,

Speaker 2 believe me, they absolutely know

Speaker 2 what's happening with our dollar and the economy and everything else. Okay.

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 2 an official in the government that that's, you know. That's pretty much what they do.

Speaker 2 And I said, look, I am trying to get my arms around this because I'm thinking about, you know, why he called it Liberation Day.

Speaker 2 And I think it's because he's changing the whole system, you know, that was set up after World War II, at yada, yada, yada. And I said,

Speaker 2 and I don't think people understand

Speaker 2 that

Speaker 2 if he fails,

Speaker 2 this is it. This is our last chance to save America, that

Speaker 2 we're over.

Speaker 2 And this individual put their hand on my shoulder and said, No, listen,

Speaker 2 we are

Speaker 2 over.

Speaker 2 So he said the same thing I did. He just wanted to make sure that I understood exactly what I was saying.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I found that to be a little terrifying. And I don't think people truly understand.

Speaker 2 This is it. This is it.

Speaker 2 If you want to have a country left, we're going to go and experience tremendous pain. I mean, Ronald Reagan talked about this.

Speaker 2 You know, there's going to come a time when none of the choices are good and everybody wants to eat around the edges and not take the whole pie. You have to have the whole pie.

Speaker 2 You can't eat around the edges anymore.

Speaker 2 You've got to fix the entire thing.

Speaker 2 And that is going to be really painful and dangerous. And

Speaker 2 I don't know if I can get him to talk about that. I mean, how would you ask him?

Speaker 3 Is that, do you think that's the way he sees it?

Speaker 3 Do you think he, because it does seem like with the types of maneuvers he's made when it comes to foreign trade, for example, he really does see not just something we need to tweak, right?

Speaker 3 Like an absolute

Speaker 3 monumental crisis, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So do

Speaker 3 I, you know, because I

Speaker 3 that is a

Speaker 3 big change. And I think slightly different than maybe the perception was going in.

Speaker 3 And that's, you know, something he's going to have to kind of deal with with the American people. And it's why maybe, you know, he's having issues with,

Speaker 3 you know, some of the independents

Speaker 3 losing support among independents. I don't think he's going to see, you know, I don't think that's the way he runs.
his operation.

Speaker 3 I don't think he looks at it and says, okay, well, this isn't polling well right now, so I don't want to do it.

Speaker 2 No, he doesn't.

Speaker 3 I think he looks at it as.

Speaker 2 He sees himself, and thank God, he sees himself as,

Speaker 2 if I don't do it,

Speaker 2 no one will. And I think that's true.

Speaker 2 I don't know of any, but Donald Trump is completely unique. You know, he's been forged in the fire where he wasn't in 2016.
He is now. I mean, what are you going to do to him?

Speaker 2 You try to throw him in jail. You tried to throw his family in jail.
You've tried to destroy his business, his reputation. They've called him every name under the sun.

Speaker 2 They tried to kill him, not once, but twice. I mean,

Speaker 2 what are you going to do to this guy? He doesn't care. And so I really believe that this is so far beyond him.
He knows, look, I'm here at this time for a reason.

Speaker 2 And it's to save the country in the way I believe it needs to be saved. And so it is a complete departure from the great reset.
But it is a great reset.

Speaker 2 The world has been shaping us for this reset. I've been talking about this since 2008.

Speaker 2 They shaped us for this reset to where

Speaker 2 they would manage the decline to a certain point, and then it would kind of fall apart and then collapse into this new system that they had built.

Speaker 2 Well, he's dismantling that at the same time trying to put the system

Speaker 2 back into place that they had taken apart. It's, I mean, it's, it's,

Speaker 2 if he can pull this off, it's going to be a miracle. We'll be the first people in the history of the world to pull this off.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it's, I mean, it's an interesting time to be alive. It's going to be interesting to see how well this works out.

Speaker 2 All right, more in just a second. Stand by.

Speaker 2 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Here's something I didn't think I'd ever say. I need to spend more time in Washington, D.C.
I've learned so much in the last couple of days being able to meet with

Speaker 2 meet with so many people. And then,

Speaker 2 you know, in the off times, I went to, a couple of days ago, I went to the American Art Museum, Smithsonian's American Portraiture or something. What a dump that place is.
My gosh.

Speaker 2 My gosh, what a dump. And so woke.
I can't take it. I just can't take it.
And

Speaker 2 I don't know. I think I'll talk to the president off air on that because I don't think anybody else cares, but he might.
It's just a nightmare. Just a nightmare.
By the way, thanks to Steve Bannon.

Speaker 2 I was on Steve Bannon's show on Monday. When did that air? Yesterday? Yeah, I aired yesterday.
I went in Monday to his show, and he aired it yesterday.

Speaker 2 Interesting. Really, really interesting.

Speaker 2 We disagree on things,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 he

Speaker 2 also also agrees with me that we're in trouble economically.

Speaker 2 People need to understand

Speaker 2 where we are in the grand scheme of things.

Speaker 2 And there is a serious mental illness problem happening on the streets of Washington, D.C. I mean,

Speaker 2 when you get into the Capitol building, it's even worse. But on the streets, it is a serious mental illness.
I mean, I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker 2 My wife has been with me this week, and and

Speaker 2 she said, I've only heard her say this once. She said it about 10 years ago in San Francisco.
We went and people were taking a dump in the street, you know, right as we're walking.

Speaker 2 And it was just very dangerous feeling. And it was a nice section of San Francisco.
And

Speaker 2 it doesn't exist anymore. But at that time, there still was a nice section of San Francisco.
And she said, I'll never come to this city again. She said, I would never walk alone in this city.

Speaker 2 And I said, well, I'd be with you. And she's like, nah, walking with you is like walking alone.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 we're walking down the streets of Washington, D.C.

Speaker 2 And this guy starts to circle us on a bike. And he's got to be about 30 years old.

Speaker 2 And he just, he starts circling us,

Speaker 2 riding his bike around us as we're walking. And he's like, I'm going to kill me, some white people today.

Speaker 2 I'm killing white people today. And I'm like,

Speaker 2 I know, I hate those white people, huh?

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 he just kept circling. I said, you know, it could be you.
Could be you. And he drives around and he's just like staring at me.
Could be you today. You never know.

Speaker 2 And I thought, that's either mental, well, it is absolutely mental illness, or that is a societal thing that has caused this guy to think that that's totally cool to do that.

Speaker 2 But it is, it's, it's really bad. But the good news is the Democrats are here for you.
There is a story in Politico that I absolutely love.

Speaker 2 Here's the headline, and I quote, there's a reckoning to be had.

Speaker 2 San Francisco Dems move to push the National Party to the center.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 that's all you need to know, okay? I mean,

Speaker 2 the gutter in which the Democrats find themselves now, if the... The Democrats from San Francisco is leading, they're the ones leading the way, it's how much trouble they're in.

Speaker 2 The story says, quote, they are attempting to lead

Speaker 2 a national conversation around what it takes for Democrats to win by rejecting what they deride as performative politics and virtue signaling and embracing pragmatism and quality of life issues.

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 2 This is rich. Democrats from the capital of left-wing lunacy now are claiming they want to drag their party back to the middle.

Speaker 2 And in in this story from Politico, they say they're now interested, get this, on fully staffing police departments, erasing the local regulations that drive up the cost of building new housing, and focusing on public schools and closing the learning gaps for black and Hispanic students in math and reading.

Speaker 2 Now, this is... Wild because I seem to remember that these are exactly the same people that just did the opposite.

Speaker 2 They're the ones shouting in in the streets to defund the police, burning buildings down, yanking our founding father's name

Speaker 2 off of school buildings, passing Gaza-like resolutions like they're running the UN,

Speaker 2 turning our cities into giant performance art galleries of needles and poop.

Speaker 2 These are the ones, and now they're like, you know what? Maybe we should have a few more cops and we should make sure our kids can read again and do math. Really?

Speaker 2 So were you defund, when you were saying the defunding the policing, was that all, were you joking about that? Or were you just joking about the math and other subjects being racist?

Speaker 2 Because I'm

Speaker 2 according to the politico story, they're also calling for imposing potential

Speaker 2 age limits on elected officials.

Speaker 2 Why? He's sharp as attack. No, no, no.
He was sharp as attack. There was nothing, nothing to see there.
Did you see the Elizabeth Warren?

Speaker 2 interview she did with some

Speaker 3 oh my gosh so good we talked about it yesterday it is that was one of the most revealing things I've ever seen. I mean, she actually laughs.

Speaker 3 She can't stop herself from laughing at the concept that he was fine, even though she said it publicly over and over and over again.

Speaker 2 Play that, Sarah.

Speaker 4 Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity? He had a sharpness to him. You said that up until July of last year.

Speaker 2 I said what I believe to be true.

Speaker 4 And you think he was as sharp as you?

Speaker 2 I said I had not seen decline.

Speaker 4 And I hadn't at that point. You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021 Joe Biden?

Speaker 2 Not when I said that.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 the thing is,

Speaker 2 he, look,

Speaker 2 he was sharp. He was on his feet.
I saw him. Live event.
I had meetings with him a couple of times.

Speaker 4 Senator, on his feet

Speaker 4 is not praise.

Speaker 4 He can speak in sentences is not praise.

Speaker 2 Fair enough. Fair enough.

Speaker 2 Look,

Speaker 2 it is

Speaker 2 the question. Whenever a politician says, look, what are we going to do now? Okay.

Speaker 3 I mean, that's a great, it's a great clip.

Speaker 3 He does a great job interviewing her

Speaker 3 as well for pushing her on this because it's so obvious and it's so comical that she can't even keep a straight face. We use that term a lot.
You can't keep a straight face.

Speaker 3 That's a great example of it. She legitimately, multiple times, laughs at her own public statements.

Speaker 2 Like it's okay. Like it's absolutely okay.
And we're all in this joke together.

Speaker 3 We all get it.

Speaker 2 He's sharp as attack. The guy is a Roomba stuck in the corner of the room, man.
Just pounding into the... I mean, for the love of Pete.

Speaker 2 Now they're saying, you know, we got to have an age limit for why. Weekend Bernie strategy with the new Bernie is, you know, maybe suboptimal right now.

Speaker 2 This is crazy. And I want to tell you that this is what you need to know about this.

Speaker 2 There is zero sincerity in this at all. You have no reason to believe this is sincere from the Democratic Party at all.
But just pretend for a second that it is sincere. It would be enormous.

Speaker 2 It would be an enormous breakthrough. The heavens would part.
The angels would sing if they actually de-radicalized the Democratic Party. But they have no intention to do that.

Speaker 2 No intention to do that. Here's what's going on.
San Francisco Democrats are calling their strategy new pragmatism. What does that mean?

Speaker 2 In other words, you don't have any real principles, just a willingness to rebrand according to which way the wind is blowing so you can look like you just want to get things done.

Speaker 2 They're not sorry for the clown show virtual signaling policies. Look how sad she is.
Look at how much remorse she has.

Speaker 2 She's laughing at how she she lied about the guy who had the finger on the nuclear button. Nobody should laugh at that.
Nobody. Nobody.
They are just terrified of losing again.

Speaker 2 Look, anytime a politician says, look,

Speaker 2 look, they're lying to you.

Speaker 2 San Francisco wants to be the model. for Democrats to win back union workers, immigrants, young people, voters they lost because they were too busy arguing that standardized tests are hate crimes.

Speaker 2 Good luck with that pivot, guys. Good luck.

Speaker 2 Good luck. You can't just, as a guy who has worked with chalkboards for a very long time, you can't just wipe the chalkboard clean.
The whole country has seen your math. And

Speaker 2 I'm sorry, you have to scrub it clean. And you're busy scrubbing.

Speaker 2 But we all saw what you wrote on the chalkboard. And none of this adds up.
Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
