Speaker 1
So let me also tell you about today's podcast, which is fantastic. We talk a lot about the abortion case, which still has reverberations going on.
I mean, it's not a one or two day story.
Speaker 1 This is going to be something we're dealing with on an ongoing basis for a long term.
Speaker 1 So we're going to be dealing with all that. The crazy reaction from the woman of the coven, or the view.
Speaker 1 We get into that today.
Speaker 1
We have all the kind of crazy reaction from around the spectrum and a clip you might not remember from Louis C.K. speaking about abortion that I think you're going to enjoy.
So
Speaker 1 I mentioned this on the show at one point, but you know, I got all these texts back and forth with people talking about this just because I'm like, I can't believe this happened.
Speaker 1
And I realized I just kept replying over and over again. What a day.
I mean, what a day that Rowe versus weight was actually overturned in our lifetime.
Speaker 1
I can't, I really still to this moment have trouble coming to grips with it. We made a shirt to kind of commemorate commemorate it just so you can have something you're wearing around.

Here's the podcast.
Speaker 1 You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 1
Stuart for Glenn on the Glenbeck program this week. What a horrible tragedy in Texas yesterday.
Jeez.
Speaker 1 50
Speaker 1 immigrants were found in the back of a semi trailer, and well, 50 were dead.
Speaker 1 16 were taken to a hospital and in bad shape.
Speaker 1 You can't stuff
Speaker 1 100 people in the back of a semi in the Texas heat in late June and expect everything to be fine while you're driving them across the border and smuggling them into this country.
Speaker 1 I would say it's ill-advised to go outside in any capacity right now. It is.
Speaker 1
Don't go outside. Don't get into your car.
Just stay inside in the air conditioning and hope and pray that modern convenience makes it livable. It's that, it's been rough.
Speaker 1 The past couple of weeks, it's been over 100 almost every day here in the Dallas area.
Speaker 1 And when you've got no ventilation
Speaker 1 and you've got no air coming in,
Speaker 1
no, this is bad. And look, terrible.
You know,
Speaker 1 obviously you can't control every single,
Speaker 1 you're not going to catch every single thing that comes across the border.
Speaker 1 This stuff does happen and it shouldn't happen. And I think like
Speaker 1
the message that the government constantly sends to illegal immigrants is, hey, you're welcome. Come.
We love you. You know,
Speaker 1 hugs, kisses.
Speaker 1
How much money do you need? You know, hey, come on in. We'll release you.
We'll give you a great life here. Great life.
I mean, Biden. You got nothing to worry about if you come here.
Speaker 1
Biden explicitly made these arguments during the campaign. Yes.
And of course, that's caused a massive part of our border problem overall.
Speaker 1 And you see this as a
Speaker 1 you can't,
Speaker 1 you see this as an effect of those policies over a long period of time. You know,
Speaker 1 people
Speaker 1 in
Speaker 1 Central America, Mexico, Colombia, all the way down to South America should be aware that if you decide to come to the border, it is, you are taking your life in your own hands.
Speaker 1 And God only knows what's going to happen. There's no way we can protect you.
Speaker 1 That's not, it's not, it's, that's not something that you should expect, sadly, because there's a lot of people, coyotes and others, that will do everything they can to exploit your life for your money.
Speaker 1
Yeah, they don't. The cryptocurrencies don't care at all.
They don't care. They don't care.
They want their $7,000 per person, and they'll take that, and they don't care what happens to you.
Speaker 1
It's really tragic. It really is.
And
Speaker 1 our policies have a part in causing these incidents over and over again, going back decades. But I mean, this one is particularly terrible.
Speaker 1 And it is a foreshadowing. We're still,
Speaker 1
we still have the overwhelming amount of people who are waiting on the border to cross. I mean, it's building every day.
We've had numbers that we've never seen before. The entire Biden administration
Speaker 1 has not had the press as some of his other catastrophes because, you know, there's been so much to cover.
Speaker 1
Normally, I'm critical of the media for not covering all of his, you know, the Democrat president's catastrophes. It's almost impossible to ask them to do that.
There's too many.
Speaker 1
Every aspect of this presidency has been an unmitigated disaster. Every aspect of it.
Nothing has gone right. I don't know if this guy is the unluckiest person who ever lived.
Speaker 1 He's just the most incompetent. Or the most incompetent.
Speaker 1 Yeah, and I think that's what it is. Ever, ever had.
Speaker 1 I mean, there are several issues that clearly are
Speaker 1 bigger to the average American's life to focus on. I mean, everything from inflation, gas prices, economy,
Speaker 1 obviously COVID was part of that, and he didn't handle that very well either.
Speaker 1
Ukraine is still a big situation. We sent $50 billion plus to Ukraine.
We just agreed to billions more at the G7. Almost every single week, we agree to billions more in Ukraine.
Almost every week. And
Speaker 1 how deeply do we want to be enmeshed in this? Yeah.
Speaker 1 And honestly, Ukraine is... basically his most popular policy, which is
Speaker 1 stunning. I mean, it's not popular,
Speaker 1 but it is more popular than anything else he's doing.
Speaker 1 And you look at the border,
Speaker 1 while
Speaker 1 the numbers and the constant horror show on the border has not really been covered by the media, people know about it. It's actually outside of inflation and some of these, his economic measures,
Speaker 1
as far as popularity goes and job performance goes, it's as the lowest one out of all of them. I mean, people realize it's going badly.
They're just not getting beat over the head by the coverage.
Speaker 1 But once this flow comes, they're not going to have a choice to avoid that either. This is why they're so big on the abortion thing.
Speaker 1 They want the abortion thing to be the issue you vote on because they know, at the very least, they have, you know, half the people who, generally speaking, are
Speaker 1
some level of abortion support. Yeah.
And, you know, they've seen the handmaid's tale. Maybe they'll get the reference.
And like you mentioned, what else does he have? He's got nothing else.
Speaker 1 He's underwater on everything. The economy is terrible.
Speaker 1 Inflation skyrocketing. Gas prices are completely out of control.
Speaker 1 You've got the border, which is a mess.
Speaker 1
Crime. Crime is not.
Yeah. It's going through the roof.
That's not good. A lot of these big cities.
I mean, that's why the two things they have right now, they believe, are January 6th and abortion.
Speaker 1
Right. Those are the two things.
It's why they're making such a big deal about it. They scheduled
Speaker 1 a brand new conference or
Speaker 1
session for today in their committee because they have supposed new evidence. We'll see what that is.
They've said that multiple times.
Speaker 1
Of course. Multiple times.
They're just like a nothing burger every time. So they're trying to come up with something, right?
Speaker 1 And like, look, you'd expect this out of a party, right? They're not going to just sit here and lose nicely.
Speaker 1 They're going to try to do something, but it's just shocking how little they have to hang on to. They can't forget anything.
Speaker 1 And they even make, I mean, was it Biden that talked about the police officer on January 6th? They even try to still maintain that
Speaker 1 the mob on
Speaker 1 January 6th killed the police officer, Brian Sicknick.
Speaker 1
He had two strokes. Right.
How are you blaming that on the Trump supporters? You can't.
Speaker 1 They're also blaming the suicides that two other cops committed later on, weeks afterward. That was because of January 6th as well?
Speaker 1
I mean, they act like multiple murders occurred when these were health-related issues, mental or physical health. And there's just no reason to exaggerate what it was.
It wasn't good. Right.
Speaker 1 There is, it is, and it was, you know, like the January 6th committee could be worth something. Like, for example, I'd really like to know why we didn't have enough security at the Capitol.
Speaker 1
And why were some officers allowing people to come in? Sure. And others were, you know, shooting tear gas at the ground.
I think it's valuable to know what Trump's response was to it.
Speaker 1
You know, I mean, we watched it happen in real time. It felt like a long time.
What was really going on? Why wasn't he out there tweeting or making speeches right after it? I'd like to know.
Speaker 1 I mean, I think it's important for us to know, but does anybody,
Speaker 1
there may be valid reasons. There may be, maybe he was on the phone talking to people constantly.
I'd like to know the answer to it.
Speaker 1 But the bottom line is we know for certain this committee is not serious in finding those answers.
Speaker 1 They are out there to just smear Donald Trump and go after him and try to make Republicans all look like they're wearing horns and breaking into Nancy Pelosi's office. And that's not who they were.
Speaker 1 It's not even the people who were at the speech on January 6th. Those, most of those people weren't even involved in any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1 this is just, they are, it shows an incredible amount of desperation and I think some connection to reality. They realize how badly this is going to go for them.
Speaker 1
They see a historic wave election right around the corner, smacking them in the face and no argument to make against it. And they're on the wrong side of it.
They're on the wrong side of it.
Speaker 1
There's no, there's, you know, it's like a giant tidal wave is coming toward them and they have no seawalls. They have nothing.
They're all just standing there on the beach going, holy crap.
Speaker 1
So they're trying to dig themselves a hole and hoping that works out. Well, that doesn't usually work out very well.
But that does seem to be their attempt. This is all because of that.
All of
Speaker 1 the January 6th thing, because of the way it's being done, I think it's just all them trying to hold on to political points.
Speaker 1 And similarly, I'd say the same thing for the way many of the Democrats are reacting. Now, there are people on the left who really care about abortion and it's their big thing.
Speaker 1
We know Joe Biden isn't one of those people. He's one of those people.
He said himself, every abortion is a tragedy in 2006.
Speaker 1
Not 1986. 2006.
This is a guy who
Speaker 1 he claims to be very religious, a guy who obviously understands at least the pro-life side of this argument, right? He understands, he might not agree with it, but he understands it.
Speaker 1 At least he did at one point when he wasn't 80 years old. And so
Speaker 1 for him to act, you listen to his speech after the Roe versus Wade decision comes out in the Dobbs case, and his whole speech is about voting for Democrats. Nancy Pelosi, you got to vote for us.
Speaker 1
That's how you solve this problem. It's always the way you solve this problem.
Always the same thing.
Speaker 1 and it shows how desperate they are it really does it's it's embarrassing but it is reality for the left right now committee member representative jamie raskin called uh
Speaker 1 he he called what's coming up uh for the committee a deluge of new evidence it's a deluge of new evidence i can't wait to see what it is is this all the the documentary thing that i guess like it seems like the trump administration had commissioned a documentary through this period yeah with like a friendly source and so they had a bunch of interviews right after january 6th with all these big players that were supposed to go into this essentially like it's been described as a puff piece documentary like one of those documentaries you you know you we're showing history it was it was their approval was needed for the footage to be used and stuff is it the nick surcei thing or
Speaker 1 is this a different one i don't know i'm not sure i don't think i don't think it is but it was there's a
Speaker 1 they were, they had all of these interviews. It was a guy who's, I can't think of who it was, his name off the top of my head, but it was a guy who's friendly with the administration.
Speaker 1
So they were like, oh, yeah, we'll do it. I mean, we, we know this isn't like a hit piece.
So they came in and they had all these interviews.
Speaker 1 Like one of the things they were trying to hype a lot is that Ivanka Trump said something about how, well, you know, we don't know.
Speaker 1 We want to make sure we're fighting for every vote to be counted or something. As if that disagrees with what she said earlier.
Speaker 1 when she said, you know, I heard Bill Barr say that, you know, the election wasn't stolen, so I believed him. They're like, done, dun, dun, big moment.
Speaker 1 It's like, wait, so she wants every vote to be counted? Like, how is that bad at all? Every vote should be counted, number one.
Speaker 1 And number two, it doesn't disagree at all with her, you know, hearing in a private meeting with somebody that it wasn't stolen and her believing it.
Speaker 1 It doesn't mean that she doesn't want every vote to be counted. It's a silly stuff like this, but they're just desperate for anything they can get their claws into.
Speaker 1 Yeah, the panel's investigators sat for two hours with British filmmaker Alex Holder. Is that who you're talking about? Might be.
Speaker 1 That might be the one that's that's not that's not the guy who was like related to the Trump administration, though.
Speaker 1 A guy who's related to the Trump administration commissioned a documentary, and then that footage that was initially going to be used in this documentary is now all of it is being turned over to the committee.
Speaker 1 So, who knows? You know, maybe somebody did say something interesting in there. We might find that out.
Speaker 1
So far, what they've leaked, it has not been interesting. No, it has not.
No,
Speaker 1 it's been nothing. Absolutely nothing nothing
Speaker 1 this is the best of the glenbeck program
Speaker 1 so the worst-run cities in america would you think that they are uh
Speaker 1 they're run by democrats or republicans well obviously republicans first of all women don't have rights there okay yeah did you know there's no trans rights in those cities it's like the handsmade handmaid's tale yeah that's a good reference because no one's made it you know no one's put together that particular i thought it was really creative Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 Now, I have heard it from every Democrat
Speaker 1
that's ever lived. Yes, the hand-made stale reference.
But I would like to hear it more often because it's so incredibly smart. It's apropos, if you will.
It is.
Speaker 1 You know, of course, it's interesting that
Speaker 1 you're saying that the
Speaker 1 people who argue for smaller government and less control of government of your life are the people that are going to implement the full control of your life through the government.
Speaker 1 That's because that makes a lot of sense. Sure it does.
Speaker 1 Sure it does. It's really consistent with the Constitution and the principles we espouse is a bunch of theocratic leaders taking over and
Speaker 1 making women have to,
Speaker 1 you know, a big part of family values on the right has always been you should be married to a woman and then have a concubine on the side to impregnate constantly. That's a big part.
Speaker 1
That's a big part of the conservative argument for this country. We've talked about that on this show.
It's the big vision of conservatives. You must have a concubine on the side.
Speaker 1
That's kind of what the whole, I mean, that's the whole argument for conservatism in this country is pro-concubine. It always has been.
And that's why the handmaid's tale is so prescient.
Speaker 1
You know, it really is. It really is.
Look, if we get in control, yes, we're telling you now, concubines. That's what's happening.
Got to have them. We're very pro-concubine on this program.
Speaker 1 Got to have them.
Speaker 1 You got to have a concubine. Now,
Speaker 1
I prefer 10. 10 is great.
10 is great if you can get 10. And I will say, we also want them to dress very, very in a covered-up way.
We don't want to see their hair.
Speaker 1
We don't want to see really any part of them except their face. That is the way we've been talking about.
That's what we want. Concubines, but well-dressed concubines.
Yeah. Well, covered anyway.
Speaker 1
Covered. Yeah, not necessarily concubines.
Definitely covered. Not stylish.
Because you don't even want to see their wrist. You know? No.
You want their sleeves to go down up to about their fingers.
Speaker 1 I mean, you look at Clarence Thomas's writings from law school, he talks very much about anti-rist, pro-concubine. That's pretty much his only two positions.
Speaker 1
He was huge at Yale on that. Oh, yeah.
Those were the two things. Oh, yeah.
And in fact, I think his final thesis at Yale was about that. It was.
Yeah. It was.
Did you hear the other day?
Speaker 1 This is a little bit, I know we're dragging you off topic a little bit here, but
Speaker 1 someone, I think it was on NBC News,
Speaker 1 called Amy Coney Barrett a handmaiden.
Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh. I mean, how
Speaker 1 here is a woman who's this is the ultimate example of feminism, right?
Speaker 1 Back in the original thought of it, a woman who can rise above everything to have a giant family and still achieve all of her dreams, rise to be one of the most powerful people in the nation. Yeah.
Speaker 1
She's a handmaiden. She's a handmaiden.
And, you know, of course, Sodomiora and Kagan are two women who are on the Supreme Court. They're not handmaidens.
They, not at all, not at all. No.
You know,
Speaker 1 that's not at all.
Speaker 1
No, no reason to talk about them that way. Just Amy Coney Barrett because you don't like her.
That's incredible. All right.
Sorry. Tell me about the worst cities in America.
Worst city in America.
Speaker 1 Worst-run city in America, Washington, D.C.
Speaker 1 Run by
Speaker 1
Democrats. But I'm sure that's the exception rather than the rule.
But only for 20 years. Yeah, probably about 60, 70 years.
San Francisco, California, number two.
Speaker 1 But again, run by Democrats for only about 50 or 60 years.
Speaker 1 Then you've got New York City, New York, New York. Now, there have been some Republicans in the past in New York, but they're not there now and they haven't been for a while.
Speaker 1
So New York, number three. I'm not sure about Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I don't know who the mayor is there.
Speaker 1
It's possible it's a Democrat. We should maybe look into that.
Cleveland, Ohio, run by Democrats. Okay, that's one, two, three, four.
We're down to the five.
Speaker 1
Number six, Detroit, Michigan, run by Democrats forever. Flint, Michigan, run by Democrats.
Oakland, California, Democrats. Hartford, Connecticut, Democrats.
Speaker 1 And then you get to Gulfport, Mississippi at number 10,
Speaker 1
as the worst-run city. A lot of the mayoral races, we did a project on this.
Oh, they're
Speaker 1
non-partisan. Yeah, so this is a lot of them.
Tim Kelly is the mayor of Chattanooga, and he's a relatively new mayor, but he is listed as an independent. Okay.
So it doesn't, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1
I don't know. Maybe someone from Chattanooga can tell us.
But we went, we did a project on this a while ago for one of Glenn's books. And we went back and we researched.
Speaker 1 I think it was, I want to say it was an inconvenient book.
Speaker 1
It may have been that one. It was one of the very, it was one of the earlier books.
And we went through, we looked at every
Speaker 1 single
Speaker 1 city in America with the worst poverty levels,
Speaker 1 the biggest problems with ongoing poverty over long periods of time. And we looked at them and we said, who are the mayors of these cities? I mean, people are struggling.
Speaker 1
You know, the poverty rates are extraordinarily high. Usually the crime rates are really high.
Yeah. And we went back and we found that of the top, I think it was the top 10
Speaker 1 cities with the worst poverty levels, Republicans had only run them in, I think it was like 6 or 8%
Speaker 1 of the year
Speaker 1 of 1960.
Speaker 1
Which is fascinating. I mean, it's not close, I'll tell you that.
It was well over 90% run by Democrats. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Well, you know, some of them were independents that essentially operated as Democrats. But as far as just Republicans, it was something like, I don't know, you know, nine, six or eight percent.
Speaker 1 It was right. It was under 10%.
Speaker 1 The only ones, it was like Miami. There have been some Republican mayors.
Speaker 1 I don't know if they're still in the situation where they're in the top 10 anymore for poverty levels, but at the time they were.
Speaker 1
And I think Cleveland, going back a bunch of years, had a mayor or two that was Republican. But it's really rare.
And it's really rare.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 Trump made this argument and the media beat him up on it. But like
Speaker 1
the idea that at some point you should try something different, I don't even know. Like maybe you might say, hey, it's not Republicans.
It's libertarians. Whatever.
Speaker 1 But like at some point, don't you think that you should try something other than Democrats? Constantly. You would think so.
Speaker 1
It doesn't make sense that that thought doesn't seem to occur to them. It really doesn't.
Okay, conversely, what's the best run city in America, according to the survey? Nampa, Idaho.
Speaker 1 Number two, Boise, Idaho.
Speaker 1 Number three, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Speaker 1
At number four, Nashua, New Hampshire. Then Lexington, Kentucky.
Lincoln, Nebraska. Las Cruces, New Mexico, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1
Missoula, Montana, surprises me. At number nine.
And number ten, Durham, Durham, North Carolina. I mean, it is amazing
Speaker 1 the fact that the worst-run cities, the cities in the biggest problems, in the most debt, with the highest crime rates,
Speaker 1 and cities that have, like Stu just mentioned, the highest poverty rates, almost exclusively Democrat-run cities.
Speaker 1 And conversely, the best-run,
Speaker 1 usually Republican-run cities. And yet,
Speaker 1
I don't know, the cities that are run crappily by Democrats, they continue to vote for Democrats. It's really amazing.
It really is. I don't understand it.
You know,
Speaker 1 it's a total,
Speaker 1 it's totally shutting off
Speaker 1 the theory that you should be open to other options.
Speaker 1 It's only like a
Speaker 1 borderline religious
Speaker 1 situation. I remember this is going back a couple of elections now.
Speaker 1 There was a complaint about Philadelphia from the right, and they said, look at all these voting districts where where it's like 100% of people in Philadelphia voted for Democrats.
Speaker 1
This can't possibly be right. And so, you know, people looked at them and they're like, gosh, it was.
It was all over. It was like, you know, district after district after district.
Speaker 1
And it would be like 98%, 99%, 100% for Democrats. And you'd go in and you'd look at it.
And what they would find is, you know, this quote-unquote voting district was essentially one building, right?
Speaker 1 Like
Speaker 1
an apartment building. And that was the entire district.
And they'd go through it and they would be like, no, it's like they're just all like registered Democrats. Like, that's just like what it is.
Speaker 1 You know, you get to a certain,
Speaker 1 particularly in some minority communities in these inner cities, you find
Speaker 1 99%,
Speaker 1 95% of people voting for the same thing. I mean, we know this nationally,
Speaker 1 nationally, African Americans vote for Democrats in the presidential races in the, you know, around 92%, 95%, 88% varying on the year.
Speaker 1 Like, the big win is 88% for Republicans, you know, if it's only 88%,
Speaker 1
huge victory for Republicans. Like that is, I don't know how to explain that, Pat.
You know, people are different. And I think like you just get to this place where it becomes part of
Speaker 1 your culture and your identity that I vote this way. And no matter what these people do to you, you still continue to come back to that same well.
Speaker 1 Despite the fact that your life sucks because of the way things are run around you, you keep voting the same way. It doesn't, it really doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1
I wouldn't, look, if Republicans became, and I've voted third party before because of this. Would Republicans infuriate me because they're big government? I don't care.
I'm not going to say that.
Speaker 1 No, I don't either. I'm not going to get beat up
Speaker 1 by a stupid political party year after year after year after year. And, you know, some people, you know, you'll argue, they'll say, hey, you know, you should vote for that.
Speaker 1 You know, yeah, you only vote for one of the two parties.
Speaker 1 Look, if the Democrats became a party where they actually respected individual rights and reversed essentially all their positions, I'm not locked into the R. I'll vote for the D if they're better.
Speaker 1 They're just not.
Speaker 1
They're terrible in every way, so I'm not considering that. But I would consider it if they change their views.
Well, I frankly don't understand
Speaker 1 the
Speaker 1 obsession with party affiliation. Yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 You know, I don't feel that affinity for the Republican Party that I must be loyal to them no matter what. Well, no, if they've got crappy policies that they're acting like Democrats, I don't care.
Speaker 1 I'm not voting for Republicans. I'll go independent or, you know, find somebody else to vote for.
Speaker 1 But, you know, it's, I mean, you go back to the George Washington thing where he said we shouldn't have a party system. And you look at the way things are now and it was probably pretty smart.
Speaker 1
He might have known what he was talking about there. It's possible.
I don't know. I mean, what's the evidence that that guy was smart? Yeah, George Washington.
Yeah. You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 He doesn't.
Speaker 1
What did he know? Not much, obviously. Yeah.
Not much.
Speaker 1 The best of the Glenn Bank program.
Speaker 1 Interesting thing going on with the Supreme Court decision as far as Roe v. Wade is concerned.
Speaker 1 It was
Speaker 1 Sam Alito who wrote the opinion, but it seems to be
Speaker 1
someone else who's getting all the flack for it. Yeah, it seems to be Clarence Thomas largely getting all the flack.
Now, Alito
Speaker 1
is a white male, Pat. I don't know if you know this.
I did know that.
Speaker 1
Clarence Thomas is not. He's not a white male.
He's not a white male.
Speaker 1
What about his white supremacy? What about that? F. Clarence Thomas being said.
Yeah, I've seen the N-word applied to him. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 You know, Uncle Tom, the N-word, you can call him whatever you want, I guess, as long as you're on the left.
Speaker 1 That's totally fine. I mean, you've seen this all over the place.
Speaker 1 This would obviously be attributed to racism if someone on the right was doing no quick.
Speaker 1
When you're critical of any person who happens to be another race, always the motivation is assigned to you to be racism. But we had Lori Lightfoot.
Do we have the Lori Lightfoot sad?
Speaker 1 I think we do have the Lori Lightfoot audio of her at this concert. This is her talking about the abortion ruling and saying F Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 1 If you read Clarence Thomas' concurrence, he said thank you,
Speaker 1 Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 1 He thinks that we are going to stand idly by when they take our rights.
Speaker 1 She's delightful, isn't she? She's a delight.
Speaker 1 You know, beyond that, and I hate to get into this, but she's just pretty. I mean, she's just a, just,
Speaker 1
she's so attractive. Yeah, you're right.
You know, it's hard. It's hard to be critical of her because she's so beautiful.
Yeah, right. In every way.
In every way. In every way.
I just happen to like.
Speaker 1
She kind of glows. She glows.
She does. She does.
She does. I just have, maybe it's just me.
I just have a thing for people that have eyes in very strange places.
Speaker 1
Like they're just pointing in all different directions. I just love it.
You know, I just got that thing for that fish-eyed look. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Well, there's no, I mean, it's no wonder. It's really an attractive thing.
It's just attractive. I mean, it's not traditionally thought of in that way.
Oh, really?
Speaker 1
But, you know, they're doing different things. Like, for example, in the swimsuit issue right now, they're doing different things.
They have a larger woman.
Speaker 1 They are doing different things. They have sometimes guys,
Speaker 1 sometimes trans people.
Speaker 1
Sometimes, you know, people without their limbs. There's a lot of different kinds of attractiveness.
Right. Thank you, Pat.
And Lori Lightfoot fits exactly in that kind of attractiveness.
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's a different kind. A different kind of attractiveness.
A different kind. So she was addressing this Clarence Thomas thing, and people say,
Speaker 1
oh, Laurie Lightfoot there. Like, you know, we are not going to stand by and let this happen.
You know who else isn't standing by and letting this happen? The other conservative justices.
Speaker 1 Now, I think Clarence Thomas is right on this point, which is the idea that
Speaker 1 these Supreme Court rulings were decided improperly. And when you have overt
Speaker 1
creation of rights through the court, that should be reversed. I agree with Clarence Thomas on that.
I do not want contraception to be illegal in this country. No.
Speaker 1 However, when the ruling is put through in a way that is improper, you should reverse it. And then states should allow it.
Speaker 1 States should be allowing contraception, which of course all 50 of them would immediately.
Speaker 1 So taking the next step beyond that,
Speaker 1 the idea that you have to stand up against Clarence Thomas is ridiculous. He has one vote.
Speaker 1 He has his own vote to do the things he's talking about, which is why he wrote a concurrence in in which only he was involved in. No one else agreed with him on it.
Speaker 1
You have one vote in the Supreme Court on this. Right.
One. That's an important point.
But they are trying to terrify you that he's going to undo all these other rights. Yeah, he can't.
He can't.
Speaker 1 Clarence Thomas is not the king of America. He might be the most important man in America.
Speaker 1 I might argue that.
Speaker 1
But he is not the king. He is not the king.
Nor does he want to be the king, by the way. So all of the racism starts spilling out of the left.
Yeah, wow.
Speaker 1
Like you can't believe. Why is this? Why are they attacking Clarence Thomas? And if I'll give you one other example who's taken a beating for this, it's not Brett Kavanaugh.
It's not Justice Gorsuch.
Speaker 1
It's Amy Coney Barrett, the woman and the black person. Those two seem to be the targets of every ounce of animosity from the left.
Why is that? I know what they would say it was.
Speaker 1 They would say it's sexism and racism. And you know what? Maybe it is.
Speaker 1
Maybe it is. Well, I think it is.
I don't know what I do.
Speaker 1
I don't know what else it could be, especially with Amy Coney Barrett. Like, all she did was agree with the opinion.
She's exactly, I mean, Thomas did take that extra step.
Speaker 1
So maybe you could argue there's a little bit of that there. But Amy Coney Barrett, all she did was agree.
All she did was concur with the opinion. That's it.
Speaker 1
But you look at the left, and you see how often this happens. And it's just, it's to the point now where you can't ignore it anymore.
You've got to acknowledge they are a bunch of racists.
Speaker 1 I mean, somebody who doesn't get nearly enough credit for his racism is Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 I mean, how many times have we been down that road where he says things that are completely racist and gets away with it and nobody says anything? I mean, you got the first
Speaker 1 sort of
Speaker 1
mainstream African American. Right.
Who's
Speaker 1 articulate? Articulate.
Speaker 1
Right. Clean.
Clean.
Speaker 1
Nice-looking guy. He's actually showering.
It's a storybook, man. It's a storybook, man.
They don't usually shower. I don't know if you're aware of that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1
They're They're not usually articulate. That's for sure.
Come on now. According to Joe Biden.
Speaker 1
Think about this. He's comparing Barack Obama, an African-American who can speak and take showers, to like a unicorn.
Yes. To a magical
Speaker 1
storybook, a storybook. Yeah.
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 How did that guy become the Democratic nominee for president? And it's not just that. There have been so many times where he's gone down that road.
Speaker 2 The other portion is a lot of people don't know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African-American community, particularly in
Speaker 2 rural areas that are distant and or inner city distant,
Speaker 1 know how to use
Speaker 2 know how to get online to determine how to get inline for that.
Speaker 1 They don't
Speaker 1 know how to get online.
Speaker 1 Are you kidding me? And I love how he tries to make this distinction between rural and urban, and he just includes all of them. So it's amazing.
Speaker 1 maybe suburban blacks could figure out how to get registered, but not urban or suburban blacks. They're the only ones, though.
Speaker 1 Right.
Speaker 1 And if a white, if, if somebody had said this who is on the right,
Speaker 1 what would happen? The largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Speaker 1
He's not joking about it. My number is a very good question.
Are you okay? Okay, yeah. He's not joking.
I thought he might have been joking. No, he wasn't.
Speaker 1 He might have given him a pass, but no, he's not joking. And this is one of the most telling to me.
Speaker 3 And by the way, what you all know, but most people don't know, unlike the African-American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community.
Speaker 1 Yeah, they have different thoughts.
Speaker 3 With incredibly different attitudes about different things. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Not blacks, though. They don't have different attitudes about different things.
They all think alike.
Speaker 1 And this guy is so entitled that after saying all of those things, he then came to the table with, if you don't vote for Joe Biden, you ain't black.
Speaker 1 That is, I mean, think of the entitlement that goes into a statement like that.
Speaker 2 So if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black.
Speaker 1
Incredible. Seriously incredible.
This man is president of the United States. I just don't know how any of it helped.
Speaker 1 I don't understand how he became vice president to begin with.
Speaker 1 Oh, well, we do know that.
Speaker 1
Racism. Well, yeah.
Barack Obama said he believed Americans were so racist, he needed to pick an old white guy. That is legitimately why he did it.
Speaker 1 He wanted to pick an old white guy because he thought Barack Obama is pushing these racists far enough. You know, the name,
Speaker 1 he's got a different name, as he's pointed out. I don't know if you ever heard him say that, Patty.
Speaker 1
He noted. He did.
He said that.
Speaker 1
He noted occasionally that his name was different. And he had a different name.
And there were a lot of people who would not accept that. So they had to bring in a steadying
Speaker 1 influence from
Speaker 1 somebody who was
Speaker 1
comfortable to whitey. Yeah.
And that was another whitey. Because we know how Barack Obama sees the country.
So true. People who have, who are,
Speaker 1 they are clinging to their gods and their guns,
Speaker 1 and they have antipathy to people who are different.
Speaker 1
This is how he sees America. And he saw America that way.
So he picked Joe Biden. And somehow this country rewarded him with the presidency.
It's incredible. It's incredible.
How on earth?
Speaker 1 And clearly, he didn't like Joe Biden and still doesn't. I mean, you saw him when he came back to the White House and they celebrated his arrival and everything was so great.
Speaker 1 And they had all those get-togethers.
Speaker 1
And Biden was like a little puppy dog that was trying to get his attention. I mean, desperately trying.
Barack, Barack, he's yelling at Barack.
Speaker 1
And Obama continues to ignore him and turns his back on him the whole time. He doesn't even like him, but I think you're right.
It was the racism.
Speaker 1 And when, even when he tries not to be racist, he's still racist. Like the time, for example, as I was just reminded,
Speaker 1 that when he said, Poor kids are just as bright as white kids. No, he didn't say that.
Speaker 2 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
Speaker 1 Come on.
Speaker 1 The amount,
Speaker 1 the lengths the left will go to paint a conservative or a Republican as a racist.
Speaker 1 They will take something out of context that they didn't mean from 50 years ago and trot it out as evidence that they're this evil undercover racist.
Speaker 1 When you have, I mean, seemingly every speech that Joe Biden makes has some racial comment in it that is uncomfortable to hear.
Speaker 1 And the only exception to that are the ones where you can't understand his sentences.
Speaker 1 Like, the only reason he has not been doing that that much lately is because now he just mumbles through them and you can't tell what he's saying.
Speaker 1 God only knows what words he's saying under the mumbling. How many times this guy blurted out a slur in the middle of his speech and we didn't realize it? Probably a ton.
Speaker 1 Oh my god, I think he just said the n-word. Yes, he probably did.
Speaker 1
It really is a problem. I mean, Trent Lott said what? That he liked somebody, he liked a former or a person that people considered a racist.
It was,
Speaker 1 what's his face?
Speaker 1 100-year-old guy.
Speaker 1
Yes, I can't remember. Strom Thurman? Strom Thurman.
Yeah, it was Strom Thurman. And he said, yeah, we'd be better off.
Speaker 1 He would have been a great president. Or something to that effect.
Speaker 1 It was, I think it was his 100th birthday. 100th birthday, which
Speaker 1
he said, the guy would have been a great president. And I don't even think he said that.
I think he said it would have been better off.
Speaker 1 We would have been better off if we listened to him or something like that. Now, it was not specific, like, we would have been better off if we listened to his racism.
Speaker 1 He just said a general, nice comment at the guy's 100th birthday and they threw him out.
Speaker 1
Yeah. They threw him out.
But they
Speaker 1
all, you know, basically every other week we get another comment from Joe Biden and no one cares. It's Joe being Joe.
He's just allowed to do those things.
Speaker 1
And for a long time, very strange. I mean, the Obama comment came in, what, 2008, 2007 or 8, when he talked about what a clean, articulate African-American he was.
Yeah.
Speaker 1
So he's been doing it for a long time. And really.
And getting away with it. And you go back to the 80s and 90s and you find even worse stuff.
Oh, yeah. But I mean,
Speaker 1 you look at the only time he ever was really held to any account for all of the racial insensitivities was by
Speaker 1 his vice president
Speaker 1 in the debate when they wanted Biden to lose.
Speaker 1 At the time, they had the option of Bernie Sanders, they had the option of Kamala Harris, they had the option of all these other people, and they kind of didn't really want, the media didn't want Biden to win.
Speaker 1
So they ran with that Kamala Harris thing about how she was this girl. That girl.
She's a five-year-old. Five-year-old girl.
A five-year-old girl
Speaker 1 was hurt by your bussing policies. That little girl was me.
Speaker 1 To the surprise of absolutely no one. I know.
Speaker 1 It was the longest setup to a reveal line that everyone knew was coming that we've ever seen. But it was successful for her.
Speaker 1
I mean, that was when Kamala Harris rocketed to first or second in the primary. She was unable to hold that position.
Lasted to about 15 minutes. Was able to guilt him into putting her her as VP.
Speaker 1
So I guess it worked in a roundabout sort of way. But no one seems to care.
No, no, no, no.
