You're listening to

the best of the Blendec program.

The president spoke yesterday, and oh, he's electric.

He is electric.

I swear to you, you know, online, there are people saying, it's not him, man.

He's wearing a rubber.

This is an imposter wearing a rubber mask.

No, it's not.

It is clearly Jeff Dunham's puppet.

The angry guy, he's got the same look as that puppet has with his mean, angry eyes.

And he's like, okay.

Anyway, it was electrifying.

He wanted to get on the program and say,

hey, Israel, Israel, Israel, we really need to send more money to Ukraine.

And what he's doing is he's tying the two of them together.

So, you know, if you want to help Israel, well, you have to help Ukraine.

And you have to help Ukraine in an even bigger way because what Hamas did,

I mean, it might have been Vladimir Putin.

You don't know.

It was horrible.

Then he gave a little tip of the hat to anti-Semitism.

He's like, you know, there are people who are afraid to wear their Jewish stars around their neck.

And then he went into stories about, you know, Islamophobia.

Here he is last night from the Oval.

In recent years, too much hate has given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise of anti-Semitism, Islamic phobia, right here in America.

It's also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts.

On October 7th, terror attacks have triggered deep scars and terrible memories in the Jewish community.

Today, Jewish families worried about being targeted in school, wearing symbols of their face, walking down the street.

or going out about their daily lives.

And I know many of you in the Muslim American community, the Arab American community, the Palestinian American community, and so many others are outraged and heartied, saying to yourselves, here we go again with Islamophobia

and distrust we saw after 9-11.

Just last week.

But he's not going to harp on it.

A mother was brutally stabbed.

A little boy, here in the United States, a little boy who just turned six years old was murdered.

in their home outside of Chicago.

His name

was gun violence or?

Wadia.

A proud American.

What deal?

A proud Palestinian American family.

Proud Palestinian family.

You can't stand by and stand silent when this happens.

No,

without equivocation,

let me stop for a second.

Who is suggesting that we stand quiet while a six-year-old gets killed?

Is there anyone?

I mean, Zach is the murderer.

No one is.

No, no one is suggesting that.

And that's because you're standing there silently.

What?

No, I'm not standing there silently.

If you are speaking.

Yo, yeah.

I oppose the murder of all six-year-olds.

I don't know if I needed to be clear about that.

I don't want them dead.

I want them to be alive.

You know what else I want to be alive?

One-year-olds and actually people who've in the womb that haven't even been born yet.

I want them to be alive too.

It's just a little thing.

It's amazing how many,

amazing how many people we want to be alive, isn't it?

I mean, there's a lot.

I don't want to

just mass murder anybody.

It's crazy.

You know, there's also in his speech last night, he warned Israel not to let the fires of hatred and vengeance, you know, boil over.

Have you seen that, Stu?

Because I haven't seen that.

No, I think what they want to do is get rid of Hamas.

It seems like they want to set up a demilitarized zone in between Gaza and

the rest of Israel.

Of course,

Gaza is part of Israel, but that's a whole different story.

And I don't know if that's going to actually solve this problem at all.

I mean, that's a whole nother thing.

But, I mean, like he said in there, Glenn,

you know, these attacks

unearthed memories.

It had nothing to do with unearthing memories.

It had to do with a bunch of people being murdered and raped and decapitated.

That's what it had to do with.

They were all new memories.

All these are now memories for the rest of the country that they need to try to solve so there aren't more memories created in the future.

It's not about unearthing memories.

It's about brand spanking new ones.

I agree with that, but I I tend to

agree with the president on the memories.

Jewish people, imagine being a Jew today, anywhere in the world, and you grew up hearing stories about your grandparents and how there was a program and people in Europe or people anywhere were

saying, you know, death to the Jew and they didn't care and they were gassing him and nobody paid attention.

You know, you grew up hearing those stories and now you find yourself

and and the memory of what you learned from your grandparents that that's what he's talking about unearthed all of these old memories of these horrors we thought we were beyond this now we're not and in America

you know Islamophobia I am not afraid of anyone who is in Islam.

I'm not.

I disagree with their choice of religion.

But, you know, if it's a reformed, which, you know, you'd be beheaded if you were part of a reformed part of Islam.

But if it's a reformed and you're like, hey, I'm not asking the rocks to point out the Jews,

then, you know, fine, cool.

We can live side by side.

But that's not who we're talking about.

There's a difference between followers of Islam and Islamicists.

We are talking about Islamicists, and they should be wiped off the face of the earth.

If you believe that

Allah's laws, where we do ask the rocks to point out the Jews, and we throw

homosexuals off of buildings like they do in Iran, and

they

force women to cover themselves except for the eyes, but I'm a little...

Quite honestly, I think the eyes reveal an awful lot.

I mean, they're always women in their eyes.

You know, if that's the kind of stuff that you want, you have no place in modern society.

Go live in a cave.

You have no place.

Essentially, if you're in agreement with the Hamas charter,

then, you know, yeah, this is what Israel is going to try to solve here.

And they need to.

They need to do something about it.

Look, you know, if it was a terrible, and I agree with you, obviously, like, there is such a long history here that there's more to it than just this attack.

But if what we were talking about were memories, they wouldn't be doing, they wouldn't be thinking, contemplating a ground invasion right now, right?

It's not just memories, it's all of this stuff together, including 1,300 other people slaughtered and hundreds, by the way, including a bunch of Americans who are currently being held hostage.

That doesn't seem to be the highest priority matter.

I have never seen a time ever in our history where Americans can be slaughtered and then Americans can be taken hostage

and that's not like the number one conversation in America

have you

I mean look Ron DeSantis sent out another plane we've had planes sent out and coming back I think more planes are being sent out to help Bring home Americans that want to be here, don't want to be trapped in Israel.

Our government just can't seem to, they don't care.

No matter what he says, well, I see you.

Do you?

Do you see us?

Because a lot of us are flipping you off right now.

What do you mean, you see me?

Then why don't you come over and get me?

Why don't you go over and rescue Americans who should be rescued?

What do we pay taxes for?

How many Americans are kidnapped, do we think?

24?

I don't know the number off the top of my head.

It's a significant amount, of course, and that includes that doesn't even count the people who have been murdered in this, also Americans.

Right.

This wasn't just Israeli citizens.

And that's amazing that neither you nor I know that number.

That's remarkable.

We've been talking about this for 10 days, and

neither one of us are sure on the number.

Why?

What is our president, what is our military doing?

What is a higher priority than that?

And by the way, you know, for those of you who had,

you know, the Houthis getting involved in the office pool, you're a winner today.

In case you didn't hear,

a U.S.

naval ship shot down Houthi rockets.

Now,

some might be saying, who are the Houthis?

I'm not going to talk down to you because, like you, I know exactly the history of the Houthis.

But I'm just going to have to explain it to the dummies,

like it was explained to me yesterday.

The Houthis are an Iranian-backed

militant in Yemen.

Yeah.

Yemen.

So these are the people that the United States under Donald Trump were trying to stop because they're Iranian.

These are the people that the Saudis also have been trying to stop because the Saudis and Iran don't get along.

And the Houthis have been trying to destabilize Saudi Arabia at behest of the Iranians.

So the Houthis sent some rockets.

Who knew they even had matches?

But they sent some rockets up.

They were headed towards Israel or so we say, and the Navy shot them down.

So

we're kind of involved now, kind of involved.

I'm glad we shot them down, but kind of involved.

Yeah.

And I'm glad they shot them down for sure,

but we were already involved and we're going to be even more involved as this goes on.

Oh, yeah.

For those of you who had, Yeah, I think we could be in World War III by the end of the year.

I mean, you might be right.

You might be right.

We'll wait until the end of the year, but you might be right.

Because the way this is now being tied directly to Ukraine, how Russia is backing Iran, how we're backing Israel and Ukraine, the whole Axis ally powers thing

is

starting to really take shape in a

fireworks sort of presentation for us now.

And by the way, they want to Biden ask for, what, $105 billion?

Now, $14 billion of it, I believe, is going to Israel and four times that amount going to Ukraine.

That's the current split that they are talking about.

And one more note here, Glenn.

On the hostage number,

one of the reasons we don't know the number is because they're still finding bodies.

We don't know how many hostages are there.

We know that about somewhere over 20 are missing.

However, the number of hostages is believed to be lower than that, something like 10, which means there may be another dozen or more Americans that we don't even know where their bodies are yet.

Maybe they're just missing.

Maybe they got out somehow.

I mean, we don't know.

But we think about 10 at least, this is according to Republican Senator Jim Risch, says that about 10 of them

are actually being held actively captive in Gaza.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

My good friend, Dr.

Ged Sad, how are you, sir?

Oh, so good to be with you.

Thank you.

Although I wish I wasn't joining you under such dire circumstances.

I know.

I've been thinking about you.

And I have to tell you, Ged,

maybe you can describe it.

I've asked this of several people, several of my friends,

because

I don't think anybody can really understand, and I know I don't, what does it feel like to be Jewish today with the history that you grew up knowing about and the warnings, and now you're seeing it in your country, in my country, all over the world, the same kind of

horrid talk about the Jews.

What does that feel like?

Well, it's disheartening, right?

Because as you said, I escaped it in the 70s.

We are Lebanese Jews who grew up in Lebanon, where in the Middle East, the entire world, their world is fueled by Jew hatred.

Everything is due to the diabolical Jew.

And to now see that exact reality being openly condoned in the West

is, of course, terrifying, but it's not surprising because demography is destiny.

If you allow people from cultures where, according to nonpartisan surveys, there is 95 to 99 percent Jew hatred in those societies.

It doesn't take a fancy professor to know that eventually down the line, you're going to have

institutionalized, open Jew hatred in the West.

And that's exactly what we're seeing.

So help me out, because I know

you're much smarter than I am.

How do we solve the problem for let me, I just, I'm going to say some controversial things, and I don't want to get the taint on you.

So this is me.

But

we didn't hate the German people.

I don't hate the Palestinian people.

I have known Palestinian people.

I have some Palestinian descent that work for me and they're wonderful.

However, when you're talking about the Middle East, just those in Gaza, a study that was taken about 10 years ago showed that 20 or how much was it 23 or 21 percent of the Palestinians in Gaza believed that it was okay to kill Americans

on the street in terrorist activities now if that's the way they feel about Americans you know that number is a lot higher for Jews

and we went into Germany to stop the Nazis, not the Germans, to stop the Nazis.

But we did kill all of the Germans, and we should have killed more of them that were Nazis and were perpetrating these things until the people in Germany said, okay, we don't want to be a part of this ideology at all.

Isn't this the same thing?

We have to go in and kill those who are either silent and just don't want to be involved, but they are involved in their silence, or they're actually involved in condoning it.

Right.

Well, look, yesterday I put out a tweet where I said the most dangerous force in nature are human minds because you know that that it's it's ideologies that that then fuel horrible historical realities let me put put it for you in context and when I was five years old the

Egyptian president passed away his name is was Gamal Abdel Nasser and as often happens in the Middle East people take off take onto the street and they start protesting and as I remember right downstairs from my home, people were screaming, death to Jews, death to Jews.

What did the Jews have to do with

a Egyptian president passing away of natural causes?

But that's what happened in the Middle East.

Let me give you two more quick stories.

When I was in grade, I think it was three or four in Lebanon,

the teacher asked people to get up and tell us what they want to be when they grow up.

So this guy gets up.

I want to be a policeman.

I want to be a doctor.

I want to be a soccer player.

And a friend of mine with whom I used to play got up and said, when I grow up, I want to be a Jew killer to rapturous laughter and clapping.

One more story.

When we finally left Lebanon and the airplane pilot said that we were now officially out of Lebanese airspace, my mother put a star of

David around my neck and said, now you can wear this proudly and no longer have to hide your identity.

Now, this was in progressive, tolerant Lebanon.

So, again,

what we need to do is not so much kill other people, but to kill the hate that's in their heart and in their mind.

If you're a child and you're taught from age zero that the Jews are the cause of every possible malady and ill in the world, then it's not surprising that they grow up to be Jew haters.

So, change people's minds and hearts, and hopefully, we can have a better future.

How do we do that?

How do we do that?

well we do that by not being tolerant to such dreadful and hateful ideologies right and that was really the point of my previous book the parasitic mind where i talked about a bunch of parasitic ideas that are infecting the west so take for example cultural relativism which is an idea pathogen cultural relativism basically says hey who are we to judge the noble values of the other culture.

As a matter of fact, all other cultures are better than ours.

We are patriarchal and we're sexist and we're Islamophobic and we're transphobic.

So how dare we judge other cultures who may have really nasty views on the Jews or on gays?

That would be cultural imperialism.

No, there are deontological universal principles.

It's not okay to hate other people because of their identity.

And if we agree to that, then we shouldn't offer any leeway to the nonsense, for example, that's promulgated on every university campus in the West.

That, again, is allowed under the guise of cultural relativism.

So it's a very, very long war.

Yes, we can go into Gaza now and try to root out Hamas, but that's a small drop in the bucket.

The bigger issue is a civilizational one.

Do you want to tolerate ideologies that are complete death cults?

If yes, then keep doing what you're doing.

If not, let's fight back.

I mean, you have the death cult, and it's not Palestinian or Hamas.

You have the death cult in Canada growing and growing and growing.

When you will say that a teenager who is depressed can get end-of-life drugs from a doctor and they can end their own life, helping them with suicide, that's a death cult, man.

That is a death cult.

That's not somebody who has a terminal illness.

And even then, I'm sketchy on that, but I mean, it's you're up, up, you know, I think it's up to you.

But

not when it comes to the handicap, not when it comes to

people who don't have a good quality of life.

It's a death cult.

And this ideology always comes up when Marxism is on the rise.

It's always anti-Semitism and death.

Always, always.

And by the way, to be speaking about death cults, right now from 10 o'clock in the morning to noon, I'm supposed to be in a university departmental meeting.

You know why I'm not there and I'm speaking to you other than, of course, it's always a pleasure to speak to you?

It's because there are security concerns that are looming over me.

So imagine

in the 21st century, in Quebec, Canada, a professor does not go to a departmental meeting because of these kinds of realities.

So what do you think will happen in 10 years from now, in 20 years from now, in 30 years from now?

So, it is incredible that that which I escaped from the Middle East in the mid-70s has come back to haunt me 45 years later.

It's tragic.

By the way,

Gat, I so appreciate your historic look at everything that is going on in the Middle East and has come out of the Middle East.

If you would just take a couple of minutes and just explain who Yusuf al-Qaradawi was.

Oh, yes.

So, Yusuf al-Qaradawi was the head Sunni cleric.

I mean, he would be considered, you know, you don't have a position like the Pope, but he would be considered the top Islamic theologian in the Sunni world, which is the predominant sect of Islam, right?

There's also Shia, there's a few others, but by far the greatest,

you know, most populous sect of Islam is Sunni Islam.

He was at

Al-Azhar University, which is the predominant university of Islamic studies in Egypt.

And if you just go and read some of his

quotes on the Jews, it would simply baffle you.

You could not believe it.

But then, as I explained in the parasitic mind, all sorts of Western imbeciles will come and say, yes, but Yusuf al-Qaradawi does not represent true Islam.

Oh, okay, let me get this straight.

So the guy who is by definition the most knowledgeable about Islam, he's the top Islamic cleric, is misinterpreting Islam.

But your friend Ahmed, who eats pork, drinks alcohol, and is gay, he's the true representation of Islam.

But that's the problem, Glenn, is that there's nothing more dangerous than parasitized minds.

That's why I lend my voice to this.

Look, I already lead a very stressful life as a professor.

I could just sit back quietly and live my nice, quiet life.

The reason why I lend my voice is because I know what's coming down in the final station of the train, and it's not pretty.

So, if good people, the people who are listening to your show today, don't decide to get up and participate in the culture war, we will have a repeat of Beirut.

It might take 40, 50, 100 years, but it is coming for you.

You can't hide from it.

Dr.

Gadsad, I love you, man.

I pray for you.

And

I just love you and appreciate everything you're doing.

God bless you.

Bye,

thank you so much, Glenn.

Cheers.

Take care.

By the way, he says, if you would know any of the quotes, let me just give you one.

Throughout history, this is the chief cleric.

And by the way, in Qatar,

so Qatar is the home of

Al Jazeera.

Qatar is the one that is funding, along with Iran, a lot of this extremist terrorist stuff.

And we are, quote, friends with Qatar.

We should not be friends with Qatar.

This the chief cleric.

Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews people who would punish them for their corruption.

The last punishment was carried out by Hitler.

By means of all the things he did to them, even though they exaggerated this issue, he managed them to put them in their place.

This was a divine punishment for them.

Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

You know, can we go back to the floor of the house?

Because they're still voting.

Chip Roy is going to join us here in a second.

But they're voting and doing a

call.

Jordan.

Jordan.

Mooney.

We just had a Miller-Meeks vote.

And of course, we knew Miller Meeks was not going to vote for Jordan.

She's one of the people who's been complaining about supposed credible death threats against her.

But Miller Meeks did vote.

And I think this is the one thing we can take out of this vote

is she voted for McHenry.

She is one of many now.

I don't know how many there's been total.

Ten maybe that have voted for McHenry.

Most people, they were voting for either Scalise or McCarthy before this.

So this may be a move by them to try to elevate McHenry as the potential next person, or at least in that temp role with expanded powers.

Jeffries, I love his fort.

Why not?

You know, okay.

Jeffries.

Listen to the way the woman says it.

I love it.

She's disgusted by all of it.

She calls Murphy.

Breguer.

Jeffries.

Jorn.

Jarnin.

Nadler.

Jeffries.

Listen to Jeffries.

Nadler.

Jeffries.

Jeffries.

She's just disgusted by the whole process.

She's like a representative of us.

Yeah.

Nagoose.

Jeffries.

Jeffries.

I hate all of you, but

Jordan.

Jordan.

It doesn't matter who it wrote for.

This is not going to.

Yeah.

This is not going anywhere.

Stu brings up that this might be to get McHenry in.

We were just saying that

McCarthy giving the speech for Jeffries

might have been, not

Jim Jordan, might have been the

play to get him back in.

But now that we see 10 people are voting for McHenry, maybe

the next play is McHenry.

Yeah, basically you're sending messages here, right?

If you're opposing Jordan here, who do you want to go to?

Who do you think is the realistic possibility?

So, I think, you know, again, I think both McHenry and McCarthy are the top two possibilities of what we end up with here, though there's still catastrophic outliers apply.

Again, if I were the Democrats right now, what I would be doing is stop nominating Hakeem Jeffries over and over again and getting your 212 votes every single time.

If I were them, and please do not listen to me, if you're a Democrat right now with any sort of influence, turn the radio off immediately.

But what I would do is find like the most moderate, squishy, worst Republican I could think of and just start nominating them in.

Was that

Mitt Romney is in the Senate and he's out soon.

So, yeah, but he might be.

You're going to have to go for the second worst.

Well, maybe he will step over.

Seriously, like a Mitt Romney type figure, right?

Pick someone like that who's going to be super critical of Donald Trump and

is going to agree with you on 30, 40, 50, maybe 80% of things

and just vote in unison for him.

You'd only have to pick off a few Republicans.

You get four or five of them who really like this guy, and all of a sudden you would get control and this guy would owe you

the

loyalties for getting the job.

Why they don't do that, I don't know, because they're just stupid or

they just

can't pass by Hakeem Jeffries.

He's the next guy on the list and he's got all the intersectional values we're voting for today.

But I'm surprised they haven't at least attempted something like that.

But, you know, luckily they haven't because I think it might work.

Right now, though,

there's two.

McCarthy and McHenry are probably the most likely guys that are going to get this.

It does seem like the vote will get worse here for Jordan as well.

That's another notable thing.

The New York Training win over the New York representatives does not seem to have worked.

And yeah, in fact, Zeldon actually has more votes

in this round than he did in the previous rounds.

Again, Zeldon not running, of course, to become Speaker, but he's getting a lot of these protest votes.

And it does seem like it's going to be higher than the 22

Jordan

lost last time.

Will this be the end?

I mean, my guess is

I don't think he's going to.

He was threatening to make people stay and vote throughout the weekend.

I don't know that he's actually going to do that.

It doesn't seem like he has a chance to pull this off, unfortunately, because I think he'd do a good job.

By the way,

I got a copy of Romney's book,

the new one that is out, Mitt Romney, and it's a tell-all.

Oh, I know.

And he talks about it.

He talks about me when we met, and he said, I was carrying my Bible for some unknown reason, and then I sat there and I blubbered.

Those are his words.

And he just looked at his staff member as I was blubbering on, and he just looked at him in the mouth, never again.

And he hates these

crazy Tea Party conservatives.

And then he does a hatchet job on Mike Lee.

There was one race, however, that Romney was following more closely than any other.

His fellow Utah senator Mike Lee was up for re-election, facing off against Evan McMuffin, a moderate, I'm sorry, McMullen, I'd misread that.

A moderate independent.

Normally, an incumbent Republican would barely have to open his mouth to win in Utah, but Lee was unusually

unpopular.

A former constitutional lawyer, he had ridden the 2010 Tea Party wave into the Senate, where he made a name for himself as a rabble-rousing wingman to Ted Cruz.

When I think of Mike Lee, I think of a rabble-rouser.

Oh, yeah.

Within the local Utah establishment, many viewed Lee as a showboating obstructionist.

Really?

Really?

Whose penchant for provocation recently routinely embarrassed his home state and his religion?

Man, there is so much here.

Then, in the aftermath of January 6th, more than 60 leaked tech messages between Lee and the White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows showed the center enthusiastically assisting Trump's plot to overturn the results of the election.

In one text, Lee claimed to be spending 14 hours a day on the effort.

Yeah, yeah, he was.

He was doing all the research that he could do, and then he was saying, I don't see a path here.

This is what the Constitution says, and I don't see a path here.

But if you want to take it, here's what's constitutional and what's not.

And I've been spending 14 hours a day on this, so trust me.

That's what he was saying.

Romney thought it would be a long shot to beat Mike Lee, but he had no interest wading into the race.

He knew he'd be expected to endorse the Republican incumbent, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In March, he told Politico that he planned to stay neutral because both candidates were friends.

It was a bit of a stretch.

Romney had only met McMuffin a handful of times, and while he knew Lee much better, their relationship was little more than cordial.

It was a tidy way for him to stay on the sidelines.

He figured Lee would let it go, but he figured wrong.

As election day neared, the polls stayed too close for comfort.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee was forced to spend its scarce resources.

Its scarce resources.

They fought a Republican with those resources in Alaska.

Forced to spend its scarce resources protecting a seat that was supposed to be in the bag.

Party leaders began lobbying Romney behind the scenes.

Then a few weeks before the election, Lee appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to call out Romney's lack of support.

The host and senator worked as a tag team, with the former ridiculing Romney and later begging for his endorsement.

This guy is Pierre DeLecto, who marched with Black Lives Matter, who hates the nuclear family and endorsed the riots.

I think he's gone insane, Carlson said.

It's noteworthy here that 48 of my other Republican colleagues are on board with me, Lee said.

At one point, Lee looked straight at the camera to address Romney.

Please get on board.

Help me win re-election.

Help us do that.

You can get your entire family to donate to me through Lee4Senate.com.

Romney was confused.

Why would Mike Lee draw attention to this?

More than that, though, he was galled by the presumption that he should automatically support Lee with no questions asked.

This guy, he just,

I mean, this is the, this is the,

this is the book for elites.

If you want to understand elites and how they view the world and how they hate anyone who is not an elite, who actually believes in something,

who believes in the Tea Party, in it, Romney talks about how, oh, in 2012 and 2010, he just had to meet with people that his staff said, you really need to get on board if you're going to have a mass,

you know, wave and you got to get everybody on board.

You got to meet with these people.

And, oh, he just didn't want to meet with all the Baptists and because they were mean.

And he just didn't want to meet with the Tea Party people because they were crazy.

But he gave it a college try.

What a jerk.

What a jerk.

So if you're elite, that book is coming out soon, I think.

So a question for you, Glenn.

I thought you said it was Romney's book, but he's referring to Romney.

It's Romney's book.

Yeah,

it's a book on Romney.

Okay.

Okay, but it's Romney's book.

It's a tell-all book.

Right.

He worked closely with the author in some way is the belief.

Yeah, that way he can distance himself from anything, you know.

Of course.

Of course.

Well, it sounds like a lot of fun.

I can't wait to read it.

Let me tell you.

Well,

it'll be the dusty book on the bookshelf, if you ever want to pull it down.

Perfect.

So, and it will be a collector's item because

I imagine there's going to be tens of them sold nationwide.

I do hope that this week can finally dispense with this idea that, you know what?

Mitt Romney, I don't agree with his policies, but I think he's a really good guy.

You know, I think he's a wonderful man.

You know, sure, sometimes I don't agree with him, but you know what?

At the end of the day, he's a really good guy.

Is he if he's out here leaking

BS narratives about private meetings?

And

did he bring up the, you know, the George Washington letter you gave him that he never returned?

Did he ever see that in the middle of the day?

No, I've let that.

No, I've let that go.

Oh, I want to antagonize.

Can I rip at that scab a little bit?

Because I want you to remember it.

Yeah, thank you.

No, I thank you for that.

Just priceless artifact that he just lost.

But anyway,

he didn't know I wanted it back.

How could anyone know that?

The man who loves America.

An original copy of Farewell Address by George Washington.

Why would anybody want that back?

No, and why would you hold on?

I'm just going to put this

here on this table for a while in public.

Anyway,

the other thing you have to glean from this is how disgusted the elites are in our own party

by most of the people in their party, the hardworking people, the people that actually believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

They're beneath them, and they'll sully themselves if they have to talk to them, but they're not going to like it.

This is a really good insider view of an elitist.
