Well, it kind of seemed inevitable, but it happened yesterday. Matt Gaetz did step aside, withdrew his name from consideration to be attorney general. So what were your thoughts on that, on him leaving? I bet that's not the last one.

No, I don't think they'll all get through. Gates was surprising from the start that he was named. I think that was kind of a surprise, mainly because he just has a lot of enemies in Washington. Sure does. A lot of people really don't like him.

You know, they came out and they're like, well, the reason why is he's got four votes against him. They know that from everything I've heard, he had way more than four votes against him. The four people that came out... I saw 30. Republicans. Republicans. 30 Republicans were going to vote against him. The names you may have heard are the names who want responsibility for it. Like, there's a lot of Republicans who were saying they were going to vote against him, but didn't want to piss Trump off and didn't want to be known as the guy opposing Gates. Yeah.

The ones whose name you heard, probably Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell. Those names were names that they wanted to be in the press as the people who stopped Matt Gaetz. The other one was John Curtis, the new senator from Utah. Right. Replacing Romney. And was not a fan, apparently, of Gaetz. But I mean, that was pretty common in Washington. Now, that sometimes is a badge of honor.

Right? Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of people who just don't like Matt Gaetz. And there's so much strangeness around his story and the backstory here when it comes to whether he was doing something with women. And it did seem like he had some periods in his life that were maybe not up to snuff as far as standards and moral standards go. That is at least the...

There's more than that is the accusation. And the accusation was like almost comical. They were charging him with sex trafficking, right?

Now, I don't know. When I think sex trafficking, I think like Jeffrey Epstein. Yes. Right? Like that's the type of thing that pops into my mind. That's not. You don't think of taking a flight across state lines with somebody who's underage. Right. You don't think of it that way. You don't think of it that way. And by the way, all, as far as I understand, all accusations are that he didn't know that she was underage.

Which is, you know, again, this is something you need to check and be thorough on. Okay? Boys and girls, this is a little tip for you and your life. Number one, if you have the question in your mind, don't do it. That's step one. Yeah. Okay? If they have the question in your mind and you decide you're going to skip step one, check very closely. Now, what's crazy about this is the reporting is...

Right.

was, she even testified that he didn't know. Oh. This is some of the people who are saying, hey, I saw him have sex with this woman, a girl, I guess, at this stage in her life. She was 17, right? She was 17. Yeah. However, he didn't know she was 17. Okay. So he, even the accusation is he didn't know. But the other part about it is he had, she apparently had a fake ID and

One of the stories is the ID came from Matt Gaetz's friend who is in prison right now for charges related to this, but actually had responsibility to issue driver's licenses from the state. Part of his job was to get like, so it wasn't a fake ID and that it was a fake ID you got from the internet. It was an actual real Florida ID that said she was. So maybe he did check.

I mean, again, if you're close to the line, a good idea not to go forward. Yeah. That's just a tip. Yeah. But I will say... But he wasn't married at the time. Right. It just seems like...

What it seems like is the sex trafficking thing to me seems to be a complete stretch, right? Like you're looking to get him on. You're trying to make it look worse than it was. And it may have been very bad. I'm not saying it wasn't. But like sex trafficking, it wasn't running a prostitution ring. Yeah, right. You know, he seemed to potentially be involved in, allegedly, involved in sex.

in this way. And I will say, like I say purchases because they leaked the Venmo records of Matt Gaetz and they had this big... Have you seen the chart they came up with? I don't think so. It's like, you know, it's the two guys, Gaetz and his buddy, who's now in prison and has admitted to all this and seemingly has a really crazy history of all sorts of craziness. Like,

like targeting political opponents with like,

false claims of pedophilia. So he has really crazy stuff. Allegedly, all of this, of course. But he is in jail. He actually is in jail. Some of it's not alleged. And so they have all the payment lines from this to dozens of women. Most of the payments are from this guy who's in prison to the women. Some of the payments are from Gates to these women. Now, importantly...

There is, even in their chart, there is no direct payment line from Gates to the 17-year-old. There are payments from the other guy to the 17-year-old, but not from Gates. So that's kind of important. However, there are payments from Gates to women and also payments from the guy to the same woman. Now, perhaps, perhaps...

They both purchased furniture on Facebook Marketplace from the same woman. Okay? It could happen. It could happen. And over and over again. Like, hey, you got another chair? Oh, hey, I was looking for a lamp to go with the chair. They both bought eight chairs from the same woman? Yes. That's possible. It is a possibility. You know, I think his... You know, I don't know what his defense is exactly. It seems like it's kind of tied up into that he...

quote-unquote dating some of these women. He was being generous and giving them money. It doesn't exactly explain why the other guy was also giving them money, but it's also seemingly they were tied into a whole different conspiracy related to Iran. I mean, it is, first of all, going to be a great movie someday. Whatever the hell happened here is going to be a great movie because it is seemingly true that at the same time all of this was happening...

There was like extortion going on against Gates and his dad, who was somehow tied into a plot to free a hostage in Iran. I mean, it is bizarre. And it does seem to... Well, I've not even heard that part of this scandal. Yeah, because... Well, you may have actually, Pat, and you may have forgotten about it, because...

The day this report came out in the New York Times connecting Gates to this underaged girl and this investigation going on, Gates went on Tucker Carlson. And he basically came out with this whole scheme of how his dad was being extorted for $25 million. And it...

difficult to believe. It looked like, to me, honestly, watching it, it seemed like Tucker Carlson didn't really believe it. I don't know that. I didn't hear that from Tucker, but it just didn't look like he bought it at the time. But a lot of it came out to be that it was actually true. That this, strangely, like, this, the news of this investigation was leaked to the media having some bizarre tie to this other separate potential operation to free a hostage. Right.

All I know is, here's my think back. Just backing up because we're in the weeds a little bit on this one. If somebody's got that going on in their life, you might feel real...

Let's say everything Gates says is true. He just was dating a young girl, giving her a bunch of money for random travel expenses, and had no idea she was 17. Apparently thought she was, I don't know, 18. I don't know how much better that makes it, honestly, but let's just go along with this for a moment. And then it comes out that there's an investigation going on with him.

And it may be tied to some plot to extort his dad. Okay, all of this, everything Matt Gaetz says is true. And one of his best buddies is in jail now for doing sleazy things. Right. Maybe you don't nominate the guy. Maybe the best outcome is he's not your attorney general. Yeah.

You know, and I think like I can understand at some level if I'm Donald Trump to say I want the biggest bulldog of bulldogs that will not blow me off, will not undercut me, who will be a one-minded, single-minded person.

to take down the deep state, right? Like I can see that coming out of Donald Trump's head and his mouth. Yeah. That being said, yeah, you know, Pam Bondi is probably going to do most of that stuff too. And she knows, she knows she wasn't doing was hooking up with 17 year olds. I mean, maybe that wasn't true. Wait, like me. It's,

It's true. I mean, it is Florida. She's from Florida. I love you, Florida. I love you, Florida. But, you know, a lot of those stories do seem to come from Florida. Anyway, yeah, but Pam Boddy's probably going to do a great job doing that, too. She's going to be really loyal to Donald Trump. She doesn't have any of the weirdness that I know of, at least surrounding her that he did. Right.

He doesn't have all the enemies in Washington. She doesn't... It's just like, at the end of the day, I think this is going to serve Donald Trump better than Gates would, even if he did get through the nomination process. It's not like Pam Bondi's going to be like, oh, well, I don't want to get mixed up in going after the deep state. Like, that's not going to... She's going to be, I think, pretty strong in that realm. I would think so, yeah. I would think so. Yeah. I don't know that it was the best choice to nominate him in the first place. Yeah. However...

At the end of the day, I think it's going to serve him best that he doesn't have to deal with it. He doesn't have to go down this road. Yeah. And probably, you know, Gates too, to be honest. Yeah. You know, when you have stuff that's questionable in your personal life, the more you escalate attention on yourself, the worse it's going to get. The worse it's going to get. And I think, like, my guess is he can bring in Matt Gates as a...

as a White House counsel or something that doesn't need to go through confirmation, still get all of his input, still get all of his, you know, everything you get out of him in another role. He can help advise Pam Bondi and he doesn't have to go through that confirmation process, which would not be positive. And what has Glenn said for decades? You know, get all this stuff out and just admit to it. And then it can't hurt you in the long run. So maybe it's a good thing that all of this stuff is coming out about Matt Gaetz and we can deal with it and move on.

And then he can do whatever it is he wants to do in the future. Yeah. It's so shady, Pat. I really don't know what happened. And it might be very much like it might be. I mean, the most innocent explanation for it isn't particularly innocent in that it's still probably behavior a congressman should not be involved in. You want to keep your... You want to keep your...

your sex life as under control as possible. We have noted, Pat, in the past that Washington politicians don't do that all that well. And Matt Gaetz is far from alone in promiscuous behavior, if you will. Now, if it's illegal behavior, it's another story, of course. But if it's him being...

You know, like, you know, there's other congressmen, Senator Mullen, who had famously kind of come out on TV and said, yeah, he was showing us videos of the girls he was hooking up with on the floor of the house. I don't know if that's true. Who knows? Right. Who knows? But there was a lot of smoke around that one. And who knows? It might just be that, look, he he had a point in his life where he did a lot of stuff.

He would not be alone in making bad decisions in his younger years. And that's all it is. Very true. But at the end of the day, Trump doesn't need that. He doesn't need that heat. He doesn't need to make this any more difficult than it's going to be. It's going to be hard taking on the CIA and the FBI and everything else Donald Trump wants to take on is going to be hard enough for

Department of Education. Don't complicate it. Yeah, there's a lot. All right, 888-727-BECK. More coming up in a bit. All right, you don't just want to feed your family, right?

Yeah. Cheyenne. Nice. This is Glenn's daughter. Comes out a week from today. Oh, okay. Black Friday. Black Friday. All your streaming services, everything.

Everywhere you want. Yeah, look, you're going to be around. You're going to have people over. You're going to be making Christmas cookies, getting ready for parties. You're going to pop on your little streaming device there. You're going to play Christmas music anyway. Why wouldn't you pick Cheyenne Grace? That's Glenn's daughter and her new Christmas CD. It's really good. It's coming out. She's great. She's awesome. It's her...

Her and... Is it the... What symphony orchestra is it? The Czech. Czech, yeah. Czech Symphony Orchestra. Yeah. From Prague. They went to the Czech Republic to record it. That's cool. Pretty cool. Yeah. So there you go. Check that out. So I don't know. I think at the end of the day when you come to the Gates thing, you're probably...

it's going to probably wind up working out fine. I think so, yeah. And, you know, there was some reporting yesterday, I don't know if you buy this, that Trump knew that Gates had less than a 50-50 shot of being confirmed, but was floating this out there because he wanted to, you know, move the Overton window a little bit, like, so he could get his guys. Yeah. And Gates was willing to play that role. I think Gates wanted it to work out, but... Mm-hmm. You buy that? I...

I heard that theory. I also heard that he was playing, that Trump was maybe playing 4D chess to get Gates out of the Congress. I don't know that I buy necessarily either of them. I'm more skeptical on that one because he could have just named him White House Counsel or something that didn't need confirmation. And that same thing, all this could have played out the same way. So that part doesn't make much sense to me. Plus, they had to know. They know Washington.

Donald Trump was president of the United States. Yeah, it's not a surprise. Zero chance this report wasn't coming out. I just wonder who's who's next. Is it? Is he going to be able to get Pete Hegseth through now? Because they're coming after Hegseth. Yeah, big time. I mean, there there's allegations of rape with

With Pete Higgseth. I don't believe it. I mean, he claims that it was consensual. Yeah. But there's another sexual scandal. Yes. And I, who got, again, God only knows what happened there. His point is that they did, you know, they did have sex, but it was consensual. The story, you know, look, there's a, there's reason to believe that her situation, she was married and, and, you know, the husband was in the hotel.

in another room when all this occurred. So there's reason to believe that there may have been some... Some regret afterwards. Some regret afterwards. He even said he noticed it before she left the room. Yeah. So I don't know on that one. You know, unless... Between this, though, and the Fox News thing, it's going to be a tough one. That's going to be a tough ride, too. The fact that he has done...

The whole Fox News thing is something we should talk about, Pat, maybe more in depth. Because that is what the media keeps latching onto with all these people. Everybody from Pete Hegseth to Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary. It's not exactly Fox News, but Dr. Oz was also named to a position. Right.

There quite obviously is a priority for Donald Trump to name people with media expertise in these roles. He communication messaging important to Donald Trump. This is not some new thing, right? Isn't that some shocking development that he cares about messaging to the American people and he wants people who can convey those messages. That's not a surprise, right?

I mean, you can have a lot of really boring lawyer types that are behind the scenes doing a lot of the work, but those top positions are not just positions of governing. They are positions of messaging.

Like you have, like you have to have someone who can tell these stories. You know, even the guy, the borders are a home and like, he's a guy who can go out there and say, well, yeah, we just deport the families together. And he could say it with confidence. So great. He's not going to, you know, try to worm out of what the policy is. He's going to come out there and say what he actually believes. That's important to Donald Trump. It should be important. What era do you think this is? This isn't Nixon sweating his way through a debate. What year is this?

These people are going to be on TV a lot. They better be good at it. Glenn Beck. Well, it's that time of year.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today. That's right, Glenn. I appreciate your wonderful hosting today. And, you know, you've done a great job

Actually, Glenn has, what, facial surgery today? Yeah. He always just blurts these things out. He's like, I have facial surgery. There's more cancer. All right, 888-727-BECK. You're like, wait, wait, what happened? I don't know what's going on with the man. He should have known. I mean, this goes back a ways. His medical things that he just blurts out, that goes back a ways. Really, like someone needs to do a series on like Fox TV.

Not Fox News, but Fox, the network. That is just a reboot of the house, the show house, that is just focused on Glenn's weird medical issues. Yes. Does it have this British doctor come in and cure a different one of Glenn's problems every day? Oh, God. I want that so bad. Okay. Pat, if you happen to be a Blaze TV subscriber, you are, right? Yes. You know on Blaze TV you can get Pat Grandleashed? Yes. Yes.

I've heard something like that. It's on every day. Every day. And it's a great show. You watch that. It's a great show. You get Stu Does America, another great show. The Glenn Beck Radio Program, Glenn Beck TV. So many great hosts. But another thing you get as a Blaze TV subscriber is the new documentary that I am, that is, it was one that I've done. It's a new Blaze Originals. If you go to blazeoriginals.com slash Stu.

You can use the code DEI to get 30 bucks off. Why DEI? Well, we're talking about DEI in the skies. The FAA and all of the DEI going on there. We went behind the scenes. We looked at, I mean, I went from city to city to city to talk about not only what's going on with DEI when it comes to our air traffic control and pilots and all this, but also looking into just how typically horribly inefficient and pathetic our system is. Outdated, outdated.

You know, they still use floppy disks. What? Floppy disks. I swear to you this is true. They use floppy disks at some of these airports. I haven't seen a floppy disk in, I don't know, 20 years? Right. 20 years. It's the same systems. Oh my gosh. They just keep running.

They don't have parts to repair the computers. Why is this? It's something this important. They have to custom make parts for some of these computers that are so outdated because the companies don't even exist anymore. Wow. It is crazy. We've got this whole thing. It's called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.

I will say, after doing the documentary and flying from city to city, you do one interview and then you get on another plane and then do another interview and go on another plane. You get more and more nervous as you go through it. But it's really good. I think you'll like it. And it's on Blaze TV. So blazeoriginals.com slash stew. Code is DEI. Save yourself 30 bucks. All right. Let's go to Sarah in South Carolina. Hey, Sarah. You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

Hey, how you doing? Good. Praying for Glenn's facial surgery. Whatever he's got going on. Poor guy, man. This guy's gone through a lot. But in the meantime, this whole Gates thing, you know, you have to kind of wonder if maybe it's like that college student that calls home and says, hey, mom and dad, I met this guy and I got pregnant and I just found out that he went back to jail. Yeah.

I think I'm going to be homeless. And they're freaking out, right? Everybody's freaking out. And then she goes, oh, just kidding. I got an F on my algebra paper. So, you know, it's a bad thing. And then the next person they bring up, they're just going to say, okay, that's fine. Just we'll take her. We'll take her. You know, it's funny. So it's a strategic move. Yeah.

nominating Gates in the first place. Yeah. And this is basically what Maggie Haberman reported. And Haberman is a left-wing journalist on the New York Times, no friend of Trump, but also well-sourced with Trump. Trump likes talking to her for some reason. He's one of these, you know, there's a lot of people Trump likes talking to in the media. And Haberman has been on and off one of those people. She does seem to be well-sourced within. That is basically what she said.

Jonathan Swan's another one who said the same thing. Again, another guy who's pretty well sourced in the administration said basically like he knew, I mean, he wanted Gates, right?

He wanted Gates. It's not like it was a fake thing. But he knew it was going to be hard. A rough ride. And he knew there was a good chance it wasn't going to work. And he thought the upside at the other end was that people would look at Pam Bondi and be like, oh, gosh, she's much more easily confirmed. I mean, she was an attorney general of a state. Right.

So she's got experience in that job. But it's interesting how some of the leftist media is responding to Pam Bondi. Here's what MSNBC had to say about Pam Bondi.

Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she's competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that'll give us some time. No, Pam Bondi knows what she's doing. She knows what she's doing about

immigration. Remember, Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that's

frankly, worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background that he has. All right. This is how, I mean, this is what they did when DeSantis looked like he might run for president. And this is before Trump was even really talked about again. And they always said, oh, DeSantis will be even worse than Trump. Yes. No matter who the new person is, they're always worse than the old person. That's the rule on MSNBC. And look, I can't,

I can see this at some level being actually accurate in this case in that Gates probably provides a lot of distractions. And he might have issues when it comes to that that could distract from his actual goal. Now, he can come in and do all the same things he was going to do as White House Counsel or some other role. So it's not like he can't be effective and can't do the things that would be helpful to the Trump administration. But Bondi will probably be able to shield...

a lot of those concerns. And, and she will, and as, as was noted, she was the attorney general of a big state already. She's, she's gone down this road, knows this gig well. She's been very loyal to Donald Trump throughout the years, even in some of the really tough times. It seems like a, a pick that will serve Donald Trump better. Yeah. And I love the fact that MSNBC, MSNBC is already afraid of her. That's,

That's perfect. Fantastic. Some of Trump's other nominees so far. I know you love this one. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. You love that pick. I'm a huge RFK Jr. fan, as you know. Huge, huge fan. Big fan of him.

You know, look, could RFK Jr. give some good input into the administration? Like, you want to set him loose on, you know, going in with a surgical knife and cutting out every vaccine mandate known to man? I'm completely fine with that.

Do I want him as the HHS secretary and in control of one third of our budget? Not really. Not really. I don't think that's a good move. You know, he's won again, I think. I understand wanting to reward what he did in the campaign. Yeah. And like we can talk about...

Because he came out, he stopped, and he endorsed Trump. Right, it was a big move. That's huge to Donald Trump. Almost went the other way, right? He called Kamala Harris for the same arrangement with Kamala Harris, and Harris didn't return his calls. Trump did? Yeah.

in a very, very intelligent move. When you are in a race that is as close as it was, and I think some people look back at the race and are like, oh, it wasn't really that close. He won all seven swing states. Well, sure he won all seven swing states. He needed to win one of the blue wall states. The biggest margin he had in any one of those states was two points. This is a close election. And, you know, it's...

Was RFK Jr. the factor? No. I don't think so. I don't think so. But like... But it didn't hurt. Because he won Pennsylvania by enough votes that I think... I think...

It probably didn't make a difference. But I mean, it was two points. I don't know. Maybe it did. It's not probably didn't hurt him. Yeah. I don't think I think if any, I think it did help him. Yeah. And I can understand wanting to give him a role. And look, you know, RFK Jr. Wanted to become president of the United States largely to run at the HHS. Like that's the thing that really motivates him. Yeah. I just don't know. That's a big job to give him. I have. I've been a little confused about the RFK Jr. Thing from the beginning because he's

Conservatives were so willing to embrace this guy. Yeah. Even before the Donald Trump stuff. Even before he got out of the race, people were thinking about voting for him as conservatives. Yeah. And I was saying back then, this guy is not conservative.

conservative. Don't be fooled by the couple of policies he's turned around on. He's still a pretty hardcore liberal progressive guy. And yeah, he's a little bit better on immigration, for instance. He's a little bit better on, he's certainly better on mandates for vaccines. I mean, we can agree on a couple of things, but the guy's still radical.

Yeah. He's a radical environmentalist for one thing. Right. And, and like, I think, you know, the way I look at this, him at HHS and where my concern level is, and it's not because, um, I think he's going to come in and, um,

Like there was this, there's a movement on the left that wants the HHS to designate global warming as a, as a healthcare emergency, right? So they can implement all sorts of policies related to that. Do I think RFK Jr. wants to do that? Yes. Do I think there's any chance he does it under a Trump administration? No, there's no way Donald Trump is going to allow that to occur. However,

There are thousands of jobs that RFK Jr. in this role will be responsible for filling. Is he going to pick a lot of global warming skeptics to fill those jobs? No. Is he going to be a person who's going to select employees that are animals to go in and root out public funding for abortion? No.

No. No. He is a pro-choice guy. He's a guy that has, at many points in his life, talked about... Pro-choice up to birth. Up to birth, right? Now, that doesn't... Is he going to make it so that every state... Is he going to somehow pass a policy? You know, abortion is healthcare, Pat.

Is he going to pass some wide-ranging policy that forces Texas to have abortions at 35 weeks? No. No. He's not going to. And he is incapable of doing that anyway in that role. But Donald Trump would stop that every step of the way. But is he going to find a person who is going to eliminate the regulations that Joe Biden put in on abortion? Is he going to be searching for all those?

I don't think so. No. I don't think so. No. And now maybe Donald Trump can surround him with enough people who are like that to

to alleviate those issues but i am definitely concerned about that yeah and not to mention like you know i have all sorts of concerns of that's valid i think your concern is valid i think it is yeah that doesn't mean that trump can't come up with a way to get rid of those concerns but it is a a full-time job for him yeah and i don't know that he needs another full-time job like that

I think a better approach would be somebody who was a conservative, okay, that would have many of the same views as RFK Jr. on some of these big issues, but putting RFK Jr. in some sort of consulting role where he's going after specific things that you can monitor a lot more easily than something that's this wide-ranging. I mean, this is...

It makes it does. That one makes me more nervous than honestly Gates or any of the others. Like, because this is not this is not a guy like even like someone like Tulsi Gabbard, who had a pretty long conversion in the public view on many issues. That's not RFK Jr. He was running against Donald Trump for president three months ago. Yeah. And calling him all sorts of a lot of the same things you'd hear on MSNBC. He was calling Donald Trump right then. This is not J.D. Vance in 2016 saying it. Yeah, he was saying it in 2024. Yeah.

teeny weeny itsiest bit of anti-semitism going around these days especially ecologists this is following the October 7th events of course of last year and sometimes it kind of feels like those things that we were not supposed to ever forget are getting forgotten well there's a film that's coming out today right

It's today, I think. And it's called Bonhoeffer. This is what you're talking about evils of anti-Semitism. You can see it in this movie. It's called Bonhoeffer, Pastor, Spy, Assassin. It tells the story of a man who stood up to Adolf Hitler in a way that few others did. As the world teetered on the brink of annihilation, Dietrich Bonhoeffer is swept into the center of a dangerous plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

This is a true story. And, you know, we're talking about a guy that Glenn's been discussing forever. I mean, I didn't know who Dietrich Bonhoeffer was until Glenn started talking about him years and years and years ago. And one time he said to me, he's like, someone's going to make a movie out of this guy's life. It's going to be incredible. Well, you can find out today if that's true, because there's a great movie out by Angel Studios, angel.com slash Beck. They believe that right now this is an important message to get out. They're actually giving free tickets away to anti-Semites.

And you don't have to be an anti-Semite to go see the movie, though. I think you're going to really enjoy it if you happen to not be an anti-Semite. Bonhoeffer opens today in theaters. Get your tickets today. Angel.com slash Beck. Angel.com slash Beck. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

You know, we talked to Glenn about if this goes to number one on Spotify when it comes out a week from today. This is Cheyenne Grace's daughter that he's going to have to release also on Spotify a duet with his daughter where Glenn sings on it.

Is there one? One exists? No, we have to make one. Oh, okay. All right. It's punishment. All right. And punishment for all of our years. We're being punished? Yes. For his success, for his daughter's success. Right, yes. Okay, all right. And the concept was him doing a Lizzo song. So we'll see. Oh, this one, yeah. Yeah.

All right. You know this one? I think I've heard this part of it. It's good, right? I think, yeah. You're going to be surprised. It doesn't change up all that much from here. Really? Yeah, you don't necessarily have to go through the whole song. So we'll see. But where the hell her phone? Yeah, how is she post to get home? Right.

If you don't know what your phone is, you can't get home. People don't go. People don't know this. Before cell phones, people didn't have homes. They couldn't get there. There was nowhere to go because you can't get there without your phone. You can't. Well, Glenn will address all those important issues if the CD works out well for Cheyenne. I hope it works out well for Cheyenne. I think it will. That'll be a fun one to get.

So who is this patriot that we need to hear about that has sacrificed so much? Well, Pat, it's MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

Oh, wow. Wow, really? Yeah. Rachel Maddow, you may know her for her tireless reporting on the Russian collusion scandal. Yes, I do know her from that. Of Donald Trump. Uh-huh. And her efforts to keep him out of the White House so he wouldn't collude with Russia again. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I know that I'm concerned about that. Oh.

And of course, I know you are as well, Pat. You better believe it. You know, she caught all sorts of stuff. Now, a lot of it wound up, you know, being proved completely incorrect later on, but she didn't care about that. And she pushed through all those concerns about facts. Yeah. Truth. Mm-hmm. You know, it's easy to go on TV every day and say things that are accurate. Yeah.

You know, that's easy. What's hard is to keep your job while you're spewing lies. That is difficult. That's hard. I've heard that. That's difficult. Yeah. But she pushed through all of that. And she's like the favorite. She is. And it's so interesting. I did it. We did an interview with David Harsanyi, the author. He's got a new book out called Rise of Blue Anon. And instead of QAnon, it's Blue Anon. And it's basically, hey, have you noticed that?

The left has got a lot of conspiracy theories. I keep hearing them about the right, but what about the left? Seems like this is a central part of their ideology these days. And unlike the conspiracy theories on the right, these are people who are like central. First of all, have massive profiles in mainstream media. People like On The View. Rachel Maddow anchored election night.

On MSNBC. Yeah. That's like some side character. She's like the central media figure on the left. Yeah. And she's MSNBC's big host. Yeah. I mean, she's the one. I think she works once a week, right? Yes. And for that one appearance per week, she makes $30 million a year. Mm-hmm. And this... $30 million a year! $30 million a year. Uh-huh. And this, Pat, is where the sacrifice kicks in. Mm-hmm.

MSNBC's had some problems.

I've heard. You know, they've got their hosts in the morning running off to beg Donald Trump for forgiveness. Right. Kissing the ring every step of the way. Begging Uncle Donnie to be nice to them. Can we be friends again? Please? Remember when we were friends before? Remember that? Remember you invited us to parties at Mar-a-Lago? Can we do that again? You invited us to, I mean, we invited you to our wedding. Remember that? Yeah, that was adorable. Yeah. Yeah.

And then they had to kind of trot down to Mar-a-Lago to beg for his forgiveness. MSNBC's ratings way down, 60, 70, 80%. They're being spun off. They're being spun off into a separate company because there's such a disaster. And this has forced MSNBC's Rachel Maddow to take a pay cut from $30 million to...

For her once a week show. Yeah. To $25 million. Oh my gosh. For her once a week show. Oh my. This sort of sacrifice for our nation will always be remembered. That's inspiring.

I mean, I gotta say, part of me just admires her for this. That's amazing. She's conned these people into a $30 million contract for one day a week. And now she's being praised for her utter sacrifice.

For $25 million for one day a week. Oh my gosh. At some level, you just admire it. Yeah. If you can get away with that, I mean, of course you're going to. Yes. So she's, I mean, this is

a save her job kind of move, right? Because being spun off like this, they're probably not going to pay exorbitant salaries that they are paying right now. I mean, $30 million for her and one day a week? I mean, $30 for her is exorbitant.

I'd agree. I'd agree with that. That's a lot of money. Now, look, her ratings compared to the rest of the network are strong. Yeah. And that's how you justify this. In comparison. Right. And like, you know, like when we go back to, you know, Glenn Beck was on CNN headline news and he more than tripled the ratings of his time slot there.

That doesn't mean a lot of people were watching in comparison to like, for example, the audience he wound up getting on Fox, right? But because he was doing really well for CNN headline news, they very desperately wanted him to stay at CNN headline news. He wound up going to Fox at that time. But like, you know, it's okay. I mean, like, it's still impressive, right? If you're the best player on a bad team,

That's still something. Like, you still get a contract for that. So I don't deny that she has some value. But, I mean, the fact that the one-day-a-week thing is fascinating. This is going on all over the place. Jon Stewart, the same thing. Like, Jon Stewart comes in and he's doing one day a week. And, like, as someone who hosts a show multiple days a week, you may know not only here on the radio show, but also Studios America. You do Pat Gray Unleashed. Mm-hmm.

Like it's the idea of working one day a week instead of five, like kind of sounds interesting. Like as a host, I kind of get it. I get why you'd want to do it. And of course this is happening with podcasts now, right? Like a lot of hosts are doing, you know, their podcasts only a couple of days a week.

And so you could see how that would be a nicer lifestyle, especially if you can make the same amount of cash. But like, I am. Aren't you surprised that they're like, yeah, Rachel, come back and just do Mondays or whatever she's doing? Yeah, I it's mind boggling. It's mind boggling. I mean, if she was number one, right? Like she was like beating Fox. Yeah. Then you could understand it. Right. She's not now.

She's beating other MSNBC hosts. Right, but I think she's like 10th or something. She is beating CNN too. Yes, but she beats nothing on Fox. I don't think she beats the morning show on Fox. And she's in primetime at night. So yeah, it's staggering that they would agree to pay her even $25 million for that one night a week. For five nights a week, it's staggering what she's making. It's pretty amazing. But if you can do it,

You're going to do it, right? If you can get your employer to sign off on that contract, certainly. Show me where to put my name. Right. Jot it down right now. You want me to lie about Russia? Sure. Okay. I'll do it for 12 mil. That's right. Half price. You want me to bash Donald Trump every night? There you go. There you go. Whatever you need. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sure. Whatever. I mean, none of these hosts are even distinguishable, I think, to the average person outside of her.

Did you know Lawrence O'Donnell still is doing a show on MSNBC? I only know that because we featured him in a montage of a whole bunch of hosts. And I thought, huh, he's still on. That's interesting. I didn't know that before, though.

Because you never hear about him. Right. When do you ever hear about Lawrence O'Donnell? No. Never. What's the... Give me your... Who do you think is in the lineup of MSNBC right now? In the lineup? Yeah. Like, if you're a primetime lineup, if you were to tune in, what would you see? Would you be able to give this information at all? I wouldn't. No. Rachel Maddow was one day a week. That's the only thing I... And Lawrence O'Donnell. Okay. I assume Chris Hayes? Chris Hayes. Is he on? Yes. Chris Hayes is on. Now, I think he... They've got him doing...

like a whole week this poor guy is you know what slave drivers yeah that's unconscionable let's see i'm gonna look up this line oh wait what about joy reed does she have a show oh because i see her a lot i'm gonna say yes she does she's she might be the most obnoxious of them all she's the dumbest person maybe in all of media oh my gosh she's horrible okay here we go we ready for this lineup yes the beat with ari melber ari melber

I mean, I mean this sincerely. I've lived, I work in this industry. I've never heard the name Ari Melbert before, I don't think. I've never watched his show and I don't think we've ever played a clip from him. Now, maybe that's because he's just a fantastic liberal host making points that are just inscrutable. Yeah.

That could be it. I doubt it, but maybe. Really? Yeah, maybe. Then the readout, which is Joy Reid, who we have seen a lot of. I will say, now that I see her face, of course she is. Because she is legitimately the single dumbest person ever put on television. And I include everyone on The View on that, I think. She is like more...

I don't know. Has there ever been anyone dumber on The View? Sonny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg are pretty close, but I think they take a backseat to her, to Joy Reid. Yeah. She's terrible. I think you're right. I think you're right. I'm going to stick with that one. All in with Chris Hayes at 8 o'clock Eastern on MSNBC, followed by Alex Wagner tonight.

No. Alex Wagner brings years of reporting experience and insight to covering the news of the day, politics, and the cultural trends shaping the United States and American lives. This is like directly from chat GPT description for this show. I could not have named her. No, I would not have got that. Then the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Okay.

at 10 o'clock and then 11 o'clock, they actually have an 11 o'clock show on. You do know this host because she was in the news recently during the election, had a big role in the election. In fact, given one of the primetime interviews of Kamala Harris, remember when they were like, she's never going to talk to anyone. And then they were like, okay, she's got to talk to somebody. Who can she talk to that will never ask one difficult question and

stephanie rule oh okay the 11th hour with stephanie rule wow that's a lineup pat that's a lineup now what is this because i know we know rachel maddow again i didn't even mention rachel maddow because she's only on one only on one so what is it fridays i think it might be thursday or friday i don't know do we know when rachel maddow's on no we don't hold on she's not even listed in their lineup like on their website she's not even listed

Their $25 million host is not even listed. I assume... Now, if I were to guess on this, Pat, I would say she probably slots in for Alex Wagner tonight. They're probably like, Alex, you know what? You're so good...

We need you to take a night off. One night off. Do you mind going home? I know you've already prepped a show. Can you not deliver it today? Can we go with anyone else? So I think that's where she'd slide in. Am I right on that? Do we have any confirmation? We don't know. No one knows. No one knows. That really is fascinating. I mean, I could do, I think, a better job with CNN's lineup.

You know what I mean? Yeah. At least you know who those people are. Yeah, you know who those people are at least. Yeah, yeah. You don't know who any of these people are. No, not since, I mean, wasn't Chris Matthews on MSNBC? It wasn't CNN, right? It was MSNBC. It says that her show is on Mondays at 9 p.m. Eastern. So Mondays. Mondays. Okay, so she gets the Monday thing. She kicks off the week. And I guess Alex Wagner tonight gets the three-day weekend every week, which is kind of sweet. That's sweet. Now, they do have a picture of Rachel Maddow here, but they don't.

For some reason, it's next to, all in with Chris Hayes. That's because they're twins. Oh, that is Chris Hayes. Yeah. You're right. That is Chris Hayes. There are a lot of similarities. Oh, yeah. I feel like...

You know, I almost feel like, are we getting like a Clark Kent situation here where like they are just like, oh, actually... These are two different hosts. These are two different hosts. No. No, I don't... One's just wearing glasses. Come on. I think they just might be... They may have just Clark Kented us here. Like Rachel Maddow's Superman. And she comes in and she's... And like she just slightly changes the hair. The whole time though, wait, we... What about that other guy?

What happened to Chris Hayes? Did he just go into that phone booth? I think we're onto something here. I really do. I think something's going on. More coming up in one minute. All right.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Proving once again that the Democrat Party is a death cult. Did you see that Joe Biden just gave the highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to the former head of Planned Parenthood. And her name is Cecile Richards. Oh God, I remember her. Who oversaw almost $4 million.

4 million deaths of babies. And it's just a proud moment for America to give her our highest civilian honor for doing that. Because that's just great. That's who we honor now. There's so many people, Pat. We don't need more of them. That's the theory behind it. I guess so. I guess. And we don't need any more people ever. Do they realize that there are people dying on this planet? And you probably do want to have

I don't know, some sort of replacement mechanism for the ones who go. So that one day we don't just disappear from the planet. Although to these people, I think it's okay. I think that's what they're seeking is for humankind to just disappear off the planet one day. It wouldn't be really all these people problems if it wasn't for all these people. Exactly. Including the globe warming by 0.9 degrees Celsius.

That might not have happened. In a hundred years. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. It's over a century. Yeah. But that might not have happened, Pat. If it weren't for humans? If it weren't for human beings. Yeah, but it might have. Well, yes, it probably would have. But... Since it has before. Some of it might have, not have. Maybe. Maybe. But we don't know that because it's been actually warmer on this planet in the past. Of course. Without man. So that is kind of weird that...

It's happened with or without mankind. And that it does happen that the temperature drives up CO2.

And then other times, CO2 drives up temperature. It does happen both ways, Al Gore. And we know that for a fact. And even Al Gore has admitted that. Yes. And so... But let's get rid of humans. This reminds me of a documentary I was just watching, Pat. And it had some claims in there that I have not fact-checked myself. So I want to just make that clear right now. But... Okay. From the checking I've done...

I think this is true. They claimed that Joe Biden was still currently the president of the United States. What? Yeah. And I keep looking for a way to disprove this, but every time I check, there is a lot of evidence that this guy's still president.

No, we got rid of him several months ago. That's what I thought. I thought, remember he came out, he'd had the debate thing. And he was really embarrassing and he was terrible. Oh my God, this would be horrible if this man were president. This guy has dementia. We got to get rid of him. Quite clearly, it's just fading away in front of our eyes. Yeah. And my understanding is, and it's sort of supported by that last story you did. Huh. If he's giving out these awards, I think he might still be president. Holy cow.

Holy crap. The other thing he did yesterday was he appeared in front of an NBA basketball team. Now, he couldn't necessarily name what team it was that was standing behind him. You're not going to be able to name the team. Right. I mean, that is hard. When you've invited an NBA basketball team that just won the NBA championship, how would you know who it is? You know, even if that name is in front of you on the teleprompter, it still might be difficult. It might be difficult. Right? Mm-hmm.

Do we have the... Yeah, we got the video. Here it is. 2024 NBA champions of both...

The Baltimore. He was about to say Baltimore. And then he realized that's not right. It's not the Baltimore Celtics. No, it's not the Baltimore Celtics. It's not the Baltimore Bullets. The Baltimore team. There is no Baltimore team that's in the NBA. They moved to Washington years and years, decades ago. It's been a couple of years. Yeah, it's been a while.

The Bolston Celtics. Congratulations. What a disaster. Oh, he's such a disaster. By the way, it sounds funny until we enter World War III. Right. That's the hilarious punchline, everybody. Glenn Beck. Ah, 2024. Seems like it's been about a million years long. But the truth is, it's almost over. And you've got, like, what, a month and a few days until Christmas? Yeah.

Bitcoin going up again today? Have we hit 100,000 yet? 100,000 per coin? No, we have not hit that yet. It almost hit it last night. Let's see. Let me pull this up here. I was looking at it just a moment ago. It is really incredible. It is currently at 98,395 per coin. It hit $99,534.97 today.

last night at like 1.30 in the morning. Incredible. So at any, you know, it could at any point, maybe during the show, hit 100,000 per coin. Did you ever think you'd see the day? No. No.

I remember when, was it Tika Tiwari that said, it's going to hit 40,000? This was when it was, I don't know, 300 or 2,000 or I don't know, something. It was much, much lower. And he said it was going to go to 40,000 by the end of the year. I don't think it happened by the end of the year, but it happened later on. And now look at it. Yeah. Now look at it. Because I remember that first...

That first like quote unquote bubble when everyone was going crazy about it, that first time was 2017 and it hit 19,000 and change. And it seemed impossible. Like everyone was talking about it all the time. Now you look at the Bitcoin chart, you can barely see that little $19,000 bubble. Yeah. Quote unquote bubble. Yeah. And what's crazy about this is.

is you had a situation where it fell off of that $20,000, $19,000 level and came down. It was lower for a long time. In March 2020, you could have bought a Bitcoin for $3,000 and change. And it's now almost $100,000. And worse than that, when we first started talking about this, it was $300. Yeah. It was $300. I remember talking about it then. And I was going to buy it.

I don't know, 10. Right. 10 of them. Kind of like a whim, maybe a risky upside play if you throw a few thousand bucks in. Do you get 10 of them? Yeah. It'd be worth a million dollars right now.

Glenn has told the story about talking to, because he's the worst offender on this. Though he did buy pretty early. Yeah, he did. He's made a lot of money in this. I don't have any sympathy for that. I would have been a billionaire. Okay, but you're doing okay. He's doing pretty well. Glenn did pretty well on the Bitcoin. There's no doubt about that. But he could have been a billionaire. I bought zero Bitcoin.

Oh, and I know you have. You know how I know that? I look at the chart and it keeps going up. Right. I know. And so now that it's 100,000, I'm thinking, geez, I need to buy a Bitcoin. I'm going to buy one Bitcoin. One.

And if you do that, the price will go to zero. Yes, it will. Immediately. You will wipe out the entire industry. In fact, before, and this is true, before I ever purchase any Bitcoin, the first step I do, people are like, well, what's the research you do to go into that? And there is a lot of research.

I go to Pat and see if he's purchased any because if he has, I know it's going down. And I have really thought about this over and over. I'm like, gosh, I hope it's not so... Because it almost feels like if it hits a certain point of hype, Pat might be like, you know, maybe I should get involved in this. And that's when you know it's over. That's when you know it's like the next day someone's going to hack it or something. And that's why I didn't... Which is not possible. That's why I didn't buy at $300. That's why I didn't buy at $1,000 or $5,000 or $50,000.

So do I finally buy at 100? I mean, crazy. So you do believe some people are saying it could go to a million or more. That's kind of moving me right now that people say, because I didn't believe it was going to go to 40. And now look at it. And so should I believe it when they say it might go to a million or two million? I've heard three million from some people. That's amazing. That would be fantastic.

Something else. Well, here's the thing that I keep thinking of it. I have no idea where the price levels go, but what was true when I first started liking Bitcoin is way more true now. The issue is with Bitcoin is there can only be 21 million of them ever. Right. They can't inflate them like they can't print money. Right. There's a total of 21 million. There can never be more. And as a conservative who looks at the government and looks at government spending, I think

And I'm sure this is true with you as well. Like, the inflationary cycle of the last couple of years was not a surprise. We knew this was coming eventually. There doesn't seem to be either side of the political debate that really has passion to cut budgets. Now, you might say, okay, well, the Elon Musk thing that's going on with Vivek Ramaswamy and Trump, like, I have real high hopes for that, and I'm optimistic on it. But, like, you know, the real cause, the driver of this is not...

you know, even government waste. It's, you know, it's these giant Medicare, social security, interest on the debt. These are things that like, there's not a lot of passion in Washington to cut on either side of the aisle, honestly. And so I don't know. I just feel like principles that made it attractive in the first place are even more prevalent now. More prevalent now than they've ever been. Yeah. Not to mention you have 21 million Bitcoin that can be, is the maximum number.

Ever. We know that it can ever come out. I think it's, but they'll all be here by, I think the year is 2140. So we've got some time on that, but most of them are already out there in, in, in, in the, in circulation in theory. We know that something like 25% of them are lost forever. Yeah.

Because, you know, at the beginning, you could get a thousand Bitcoin in a day. It would be nothing. They cost nothing. If you were mining in the early years of this. What are they lost to? Just people not knowing their password to get back in and claim them? They weren't worth anything. Yeah. You know, people threw away their computers. They threw away their accounts, their passwords, their phrases. Back when they were under a dollar apiece. Yeah. Yeah.

Or whatever. People were taking them in the very early years were just like buying drugs online. Yeah. Do you remember the pizza thing? The pizza thing? Yeah. 500 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas.

We haven't done this calculation in a while. 500 Bitcoin. I guess it's going to be relatively easy here. 100,000 of Bitcoin. So $50 million for two pizzas. And they were Papa John's, by the way. Million dollars. It's not like they imported Sally's or Pepe's from New Haven. You would have had to obviously do the right thing with it. And that's right out the waves. And by the way, the person who got them did not do that. He does not still have 500 Bitcoin. They are not worth $50 million. Yeah.

But he's an investor like I am. I heard you and Glenn talking about the Clear Channel thing that we turned down. Oh, yeah, that's right. This is you too. Yeah. What was the deal? Can you tell people the story? In lieu of $10,000, we were going to get $10,000 worth of Clear Channel stock. And we're like, no. No.

Because at that time, Clear Channel stock was, I don't know, $3 or something, $5? It had a decent run after that. Oh, it had a fairly decent run, yeah. Because if we would have done that, it went up to $90 and split. And then it went back up to $90 and split again. And I think that happened three times. And our $10,000 investment would have been worth something like $3 million each. Yeah.

And so, yeah, we're like, no, please. A cute little company from San Antonio? No way. Come on. Why would you do that? No. Everyone's got a story. Not everyone has a story that crazy. Yeah. And certainly not many people like Glenn have multiple stories that are that crazy. But everyone's got that thing. Oh, gosh, I should have done that. I should have invested. And one of the things I come back to is...

So there's 21 million Bitcoin that can be possibly ever made. We know about a quarter of them are lost, we think. We don't know exactly. In 2023, there were 22 million millionaires just in the United States.

So if every just millionaire had one Bitcoin and wanted to get one Bitcoin, there wouldn't be enough for them to have one. Gosh, that's amazing. Right? That's amazing. That's just the millionaires in the U.S. Not like, I mean, think about the millionaires in China and India and all over the world.

Just to have one Bitcoin, there's not enough to go around. Unreal. So what does that mean to the long-term price of this, especially now? Because what you have now is a situation where this is a multi-trillion dollar industry. This is like a $4 trillion industry. It's hard to imagine it going away. Can you think of an example of a $4 trillion industry going away? No. No.

I can't think of one. Not at the top of my head. Are we talking about gold? You're talking about oil? What is at this level, right? Like, you were talking about a massive, massive thing that a lot of people have put a lot of time into. Four trillion dollar industries don't just go away. They don't just usually go away. And so, I don't know where this goes. It could, look, it

I guess you could say Enron, that wasn't a $4 trillion business. No, I mean, it was the seventh largest company in the world at one point. Supposedly. Built on a bunch of... House of Cards. Yes, a little bit of a House of Cards there. But yeah, it was a multi-billion dollar company. But not $4 trillion. No. And so you just wonder long-term where this goes. This brings me to another thing, Pat. Get your take on this. Maybe you have... What are your guesses on this?

Because a new study came out. This is from Morning Consult, a poll. They asked people across all different age groups, what salary do you have to make to be considered financially successful? The term is financially successful. Not rich, but financially successful. How much money do you need to earn as a salary to get to that level? Now, I don't know. What would you say? I can tell you.

It depends on where you live. Yeah, that's a good point. A good point. But again, this is an average. So you're going to get an average over the whole country. Okay. So what do you say? If I were like, oh, that person, they got it together. They don't have a private jet. But they've got a good life. I mean, I would define financially successful like you're taking maybe a nice vacation a year. You got a nice home. Not necessarily a second home.

Right? Like you got one, you know, like you, but you can afford nice Christmas presents for your kids. You live in a nice neighborhood, drive a decent car, like not a Ferrari, but maybe, you know, I don't know, a BMW, like maybe you're going to BMW three series. I don't know. What would you consider financially successful? How would you describe that? Certainly would be, I would say it's a good life. 150 for that kind of lifestyle. That's

That sounds about right. That sounds like a person who's doing well. They're going to be able to pay their bills. Yeah. They're going to be able to do some nice things. Maybe they get decent seats to a concert a couple times a year, maybe go to a couple sporting events, like living a decent life. So they asked people, what level do you have to get to to be financially successful? They asked the boomer generation, and their answer was $100,000. $100,000 a year. Okay. They asked Gen X...

Their answer was $212,000 a year. Oh. Okay. So a little higher than your estimate. They asked millennials, how much do you need to earn to be financially successful? Millennials said $181,000 a year. So less than Gen X. A little less than Gen X. Reasonable between the two other numbers. They asked Gen Z this question. Okay.

Their answer was $587,800. That's what Gen Z thinks you to be financially successful. Wow. $587,800. So what is the cause? By the way, the average across the country is 270,000 because of the high number on Gen Z. Wow. So what is the cause of that? And a couple of theories here.

they just went through this inflationary period where everything costs so much. Right. And like, they're like, holy crap. Like I can't afford anything to them. You got to earn $580,000 to be successful. I think that might be part of it. The other part of it might just be like, then when I've seen this floated, is it's like social media. Like you're on Instagram all the time. Everybody you see is, I got a yacht. And you,

And you know professional athletes make that millions. Yeah. Right? So maybe you're just kind of comparing yourself to that lifestyle and your idea of financially successful is not the two, the nice home with the picket fence and the BMW and a nice vacation, but it's

You're living in a yacht and you've got dozens of models around you. Maybe that's it. And you see stuff like crypto, right? Yeah. Where people who are in their 20s put in a few thousand dollars, hit on some meme coin, and now are driving Lamborghinis around. And maybe your vision of the world is a little warped. Definitely. And I think for Gen Z, their vision of the world is a little warped.

And not just in this, but in a lot of things. 888-727-BECK. More coming up. Goes for pretty much every generation at this point, I would argue. All right. It's time for us to fight, fight, fight for the lives of unborn children in this country. We got Roe versus Wade overturned. That was a necessary part of this. We got a pro-life party elected to the halls of power.

but the journey does not end there we have to change hearts and minds and pre-born's network of clinics saves 200 babies every single day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting mothers doubling the baby's chance that the mother will choose life for just 28 bucks you can sponsor an ultrasound through a match your tax deductible gift is also going to be doubled right now pre-born also supplies mothers with diapers and car seats and counseling and more for up to two years after the baby is born

I know you're in the same boat here, Pat. Incredibly proud to work with Preborn and everything that this audience has done to support Preborn. We can keep going though. One ultrasound, just 18 bucks, 140 will help rescue five babies lives. And now through your match, that gift is going to be doubled. So babies are worth fighting for. We know that.

Donate securely. Dial pound 250 and just say the keyword baby pound 250. The keyword is baby or go to preborn.com slash Beck preborn.com slash Beck. All gifts are tax deductible and preborn has a four star charity rating. So fight, fight, fight for the babies preborn. It's this message, of course, sponsored by preborn. You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.

Yeah. Ah, Christmas. Right around the corner. And you know, one thing, Pat, you could do, I might recommend this to people, is go to keksi.com. Wow. Your cookie company. Yeah. Which has the most delicious cookies I've ever had. K-E-K-S-I dot com.

You could do that. Can I make a little recommendation? Sure. I've done this now multiple times. Okay. Hit at the party. So you get a box of Kexi cookies, right? They get sent to you. They come in these, they're huge. They come in these nice individually wrapped things. You take about 15 minutes. You take them all individually out. You cut them into quarters. Right. And then you put them on a big platter. Yes. It looks like you put tons of work into it and everyone loves them.

I do it for Thanksgiving all the time. It's awesome. Thanksgiving, Christmas parties. Yeah. Great, great way to go. You will love them and everyone at the party will love them. So I would recommend. Do you have like a holiday box or something going on? We do. Yeah. Starting December 1st, which is next week, we have the Christmas box, which is really, really cool. And you'll want to save the box. It's really great. But a lot of really good cookies in that. The Glenn Beck Program.

Let me tell you about rough greens.

Well, it turns out that the same rule applies for your dog that applies to Jeffy. If you are feeding kibble food to your dog, you know, he's not getting the nutrition that he really needs. A lot of it gets baked out of the food. So, you know, it can have a long shelf life.

That's why you should give him Rough Greens. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you can just sprinkle on top of the dog food.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Today with Pat Gray and Stu Bergeer for Glenn, we got to show you this little battle in the halls of Congress yesterday between Ayanna Pressley and Clay Higgins. Amazing. Share that with you in one minute. There are a lot of things that might keep you from going to sleep at night. Maybe you voted for Kamala Harris, and now you think we're just a few short weeks away from living in the Handmaid's Tale.

That would keep me up at night, I guess, if I believe that. But if you point at something you really need to get some sleep from, it might be a Kamala Harris vote.

If you had to pick out the most radical person in all of Congress, who would it be? Can we do a quick Mount Rushmore? Okay. Yeah. I would put AOC. All right. She's on that. All right. I would put Rashida Tlaib. Yes. Okay. So would I? I would put...

Ilan Omar. All right. So far, we're pretty good with the squad. And I guess, I mean, you mentioned Diana Presley. She would be in the discussion. She would be in the discussion for sure. I don't know if I'm trying to think. Well, convince me. Give me the case to put her on Mount Rushmore. All right. I'll make that case. Clay Higgins had just mentioned a quote from Martin Luther King that

And that really set her off. Check this out. And I'd also just like to take a personal note of privilege to say, please keep Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s name out of your mouths. Your perversion of his words and his mission when his children have asked you to stop invoking his name and perverting his work when he was a proud and unapologetic black man fighting for equality for black Americans and all marginalized people.

So you all are entitled to your opinions, but not a denial of the facts. But I'm not surprised that you would deny American history. A colleague across the aisle invoked the phrase of we must do everything to stop government sponsored oppression. Well, I've just enumerated numerous examples, which is exactly why we have legislation and an executive order to reverse this harm.

And that is why I'm committed to opposing this bill and urge my colleagues to do the same. I thank my colleague and I appreciate my Democrat colleague for exemplifying exactly the kind of oppression of freedoms that we're referencing. How about we'll quote whoever we want to quote? How about that's my First Amendment right? Yes! That's exactly the kind of baked-in oppression

Like how dare a white Republican quote Martin Luther King. We actually had a congressman say that just now in his committee. And thank you, good lady, for once again exemplifying the type of oppression that we stand against. You know I'm right. You know I'm right. Order, order. Mr. Higgins has the floor. And we will quote...

who we please to quote. Thank you. And we will continue to speak freely because I'm a veteran. That's the country that I serve. That's the Constitution I swore an allegiance to. And that oath has no expiration date.

I will fight for it with my last life's blood for my right to speak freely and yours, good lady. You will never hear me saying how dare you quote anybody you please to quote. And that exemplifies America, precisely the type of institutional oppression that my colleague Mr. Clouds built, which I'm an original co-sponsor,

Hopes to push back against. That's so great. Get Martin Luther King out your mouth? I mean, what is this, the Will Smith award thing? Yeah. It's an embrace of the worst moment of Will Smith's life. I mean, he may have had others.

considering his private life. But the most, probably the worst publicly. Public meltdown. Yeah. And they actually embrace this. Yeah. It's incredible. And you're telling a veteran that he can't, he can't quote Martin Luther King?

Screw you. Yeah, exactly. Which is essentially what he said in nicer terms. Everybody on the, these people on the left are just so terrible. Oh my gosh. And it's like, look, you can disagree. Like Martin Luther King certainly did believe a bunch of liberal things. And by the way, Martin Luther King, not a perfect saint himself. He had some pretty serious private failings. Yes. But he also had some things that were really important that he believed. And we'll quote him if we want to quote him. Okay.

Yeah. You got no input in that. Yeah. We don't care what you think. You know what? To be frank, too, I don't care what the family thinks. I don't care if the family thinks. You know, I will tell you, other members of their family are very clearly, Alveda King, quite clearly wants him to be quoted by people who, for example, care about life. Mm-hmm.

So there's no family member that gets the right to say whether another family member gets quoted. But even if there was 100% agreement among the family, whether they wanted me to quote him or not, it wouldn't matter at all.

Yeah, because this is still America. Yeah. Right? So does that qualify her for the Mount Rushmore of awful? That's really... It's pretty close, but... It's really good. Man, there's some really bad people in Congress, which is unfortunate, but true. It's true. It's true. I kind of feel boring putting just squad members up there, though. Yeah. You know, it's like, it's just the...

I will say that... Well, Eric Swalwell might have. Oh, my God. All right. Who... If you have someone else we're forgetting, Swalwell has to be up there. Swalwell is such a... I mean, when you're sleeping with a Chinese spy for two years, and then you have the unmitigated gall to call out other members of Congress for anything. For anything. Ever. I don't want to hear from him. Not to mention, he farts on camera. Yeah.

All the time. The man is constantly farting on camera. Okay, so I'm putting Swalwell up there for sure. That's thank you, Pat. Swalwell's up there. Who else should be up there? If you have somebody, 888-727-BECK. Who should be on the Mount Rushmore of terrible, awful congressmen? I'd have to put Swalwell on there.

Talib has a special place in my heart. She has to be on there. And so does Ilhan Omar for me. I mean, they're both. They almost have to be there. I feel like AOC has to be up there. You know what? You can convince me to leave either Ilhan Omar or Rashida Talib off. I got to have one of them.

But you want to take one off? I'm okay with that as well. Yeah. Well, let's give some more evidence for AOC being there. Here she is talking about the Capitol Hill bathroom controversy, which has been going around because there's a transgender person who was just elected to Congress, and so they're wondering...

where is this person going to go to the bathroom? Where do they go potty? And that's our, where do they go potty? That's our big issue right now. Not whether or not we're sending a long range missiles to Ukraine and allowing them to use them against Russia. But let's talk about the bathroom situation in the Capitol building. Here's AOC. It's disgusting. And everybody, no matter how you feel on this issue should reject

it completely. What are they doing? They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can make a buck and send a text and fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women. They're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross. Thank you. I mean, that's just bizarre. It's just bizarre that you would say that it's endangerment to women by saying that actually

Actual biological men can't use the women's restroom. It is women we're trying to protect with that. She's absolutely terrible. It's incredible. And how many years ago would this have been blatantly obvious to Democrats? Oh my gosh. To Democrats. Like three? Five? I don't know. It can't be more than ten. We know for like, I mean, just try to trace it back. In 2012...

Joe Biden blurts out by mistake that actually they're for gay marriage for the first time. Right. That's 2012. If I, if I'm getting my timeline, I think it was during that campaign. It was.

So they were against gay marriage until 2012. The gay marriage ruling was 2016, maybe? When was that? 14 or 16? In there somewhere. In there. Yeah. But the transgender thing hadn't started yet. No. Hadn't even started. I mean, this took off...

Like a rocket ship. And it got to this level in a very short amount of time. Very short. The other thing is, the bathrooms in the Capitol building, do you know that they all have their own bathroom? Right. In their offices. They've all got their own. I just found that out this week. They've all got their own bathrooms. First of all, that's great. So why is that even a deal? Well, and let's be clear what we're saying here.

Because it was used against Nancy Mace, just saying like, well, she's got a private bathroom in her own office. Just have her use that. Why does she have to make that sacrifice? I'm confused. About half the country is female. Right.

About 0.01% is trans. Maybe they make the sacrifice. Right. Maybe they go to the private bathroom. Yes. Right. And is that really too much to ask that if you, if you've got a dangling man unit that you don't go into a women's restroom with it? Is that really? Is that crazy? That big an ask? I don't think so. I don't think it's a big ask at all. I don't think it is either.

Come on! And if you're going to ask it, you should definitely use the phrase dangling man unit. There's no question about that part of the story. You must use that phrase. I don't want your dangling man unit in the women's restroom. No. I just don't want that. No. Maybe you go into the family place that has the lock on the door and you go into that. Where you can... Where it's like...

by gender or whatever. You could... It's a family thing or it's a... Yeah. It's not specific to men and women. I've seen those and you can use it either way. Maybe you go in there? Yeah, and here's the thing, Pat. You might say, well, that's a very... That's a slight sacrifice, right? You know what? No, it's not. It's actually better. Here's the thing. Going to the bathroom in a room by yourself better than with others. It's even better. It is. Always better. It...

Here's the thing. When you're walking... You know this, and don't deny it. You know it. You're a single man or woman. And you're walking by...

And you see that family thing is open. You're going in. I'm going in. You're going in. You know why? Better. Better. Than going tinkle next to another dude. Nobody's coming in and bothering me and starting up a conversation while I'm there. I don't like that. Nope. I don't like it. You don't have some, you're not in one of those things where there's eight urinals against the wall and you're in the middle one and the guy comes up and stands next to you. No. You don't have to have that.

I don't like that. You don't have to deal with a situation where there's no dividers, where if you're in a stall, there's an inexplicable 18-inch gap at the bottom. Or heaven forbid, the trough.

Oh, God, the trough. Where there's no separation. The struggles of men, Sarah. The trough is just awful. The trough is the worst. No, the trough is the worst. And at every sporting venue in the world, you encounter a trough. Inexplicable. Why are we peeing into a trough? What animal are we? I don't understand this. This is why, years ago, Pat, I proposed the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Yeah. And what it entails is this. It's simple. One person...

One bathroom. I love it. It's brilliant. Every time you go potty, you go potty by yourself. By yourself.

I love it. I don't understand what country we live in. I don't even care how much that costs. Yes. I'm for it. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. Because cost is what the people bring up when I bring it up. I get it. Would it be free? No. It wouldn't. However, we're going about it the right way. We're amending the Constitution. We're not just putting this through some government edict. We're amending the Constitution. Yes. And here's the thing. You know what a stall is?

It's a single bathroom. The only difference between a stall and a single person toilet is about an 18 inch gap on the bottom. And for some reason, like an inch and a half gap in every single connecting wall. What you do is you get rid of the open space, which by the way, who wants that? Yeah. And why? Think about this.

Why do you want that? Right. What weirdo is like, hey, it'll be great. Okay, it's time for some serious reflection. And they now have some of these, right, where you have like, they just have a door. What you have is a door. That's awesome. And the door goes floor to ceiling. And then you have some ventilation inside. And you go and you do your business in the room by yourself. Mm-hmm.

And then you exit the room. You want to have... I mean, I'm fine with everybody washing their hands in a similar area. Okay. If you really want it, fine. But when you're having your private time, you have it in a private area. I don't think that's crazy. It's not crazy. I think that's preferable. It sure is. And if I have to lean on the backs of my transgendered friends to get this done, fine. Fine.

America is a great nation, the greatest nation that has ever existed in this world. We should lead the way on that. If you were to tell me some third world country with a GDP of eight has a bunch of people peeing into a trough, I might understand it. This is America. Yeah, we don't need to. We don't need that. We don't need to. All right. More coming up in a minute.

You know, Donald Trump got elected. He would have won by 18 points with that platform. He would have. Wow, he won 47 states. That's impressive. Yes, that's all. Why am I tinkling next to a guy?

And, you know, sometimes in the service of your community, you can find yourself in a situation where you're not going to get to go home. And this is the case for police officer and canine handler Jacob Russell. Jacob Russell Chaffins, when he was fatally shot while serving a warrant for

for domestic violence. Jacob was passionate about his job, his family, his co-workers, and the people of his community. He is deeply missed by those who knew him and loved him, and he leaves behind a wife, Savannah, and a little daughter, Paisley. When the Talented Towers Foundation learned about this fallen hero and his family, they stepped in immediately to see what they could do

to help. And because of the generosity of people like you, they were able to give Savannah and Paisley the gift of a new home, mortgage-free. This is the kind of thing that Tunnel to Towers does for so many. Their motto is to do good and to never forget. Help Tunnel to Towers lift up these heroes and their families. You can donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number two, T.org, T2T.org for Tunnel to Towers. 10 seconds, station ID.

All right. We got the Mount Rushmore of terrible nominations here. Oh, yes. Yeah. So let's go to Jenny in California. Hey, Jenny. Welcome. Hello. Hi, Jenny. How are you? I'm doing OK. How are you? Very well. Who should be on the Mount Rushmore of terrible when it comes to our Congress people?

Mad Maxine. Oh, Maxine Waters. Oh, that's a good one. That is a good one. I like it. Thanks, Jenny. Appreciate it. Let's go to Mike in California. Hey, Mike, who's your nomination? Well...

Being from California, we have an abundance of really poor Congress people. You sure do. But I think the godfather of all Russian collusion, the Mr. I-have-all-the-evidence Adam Schiff. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, my gosh, that's a good one. He's transferring over to the Senate now, which is incredible. He's got a promotion for all of this. Thanks, Mike. Oh, my. Isn't that incredible? Gosh, that sucks. Do you believe Adam Schiff after what an idiot he made of himself? I can't.

Got promoted. But Republicans just can't win a statewide election in California. It just can't happen. I mean, I guess Schwarzenegger did, but is he really a Republican? Right. I mean, he endorsed Kamala Harris, so I will say no. Really, really bad. But, you know, you would have thought if there was a Republican that could win in California, it might be Steve Garvey. Yeah. I guess not. No, it didn't really come close. I guess not. All right, Tom in Florida. Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

By the grace of God, I live in the red capital of the world, Florida. But we do have a blue pimple. And that is where Nancy Lieberman Schultz. Oh, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Fort Lauderdale. Oh, my God. Yeah, she's horrible. That's a good point. And he blurted out a little bit. Ken in Colorado. Ken, who do you think?

Yeah, well, I'd have to put Nancy up there at the top. That's a good point. Nancy Pelosi. How do we leave her off the Mount Rushmore of terrible? We can't. You almost can't. Gosh, this is going to be tough. This is going to be tough. That is a really hard one. Unless you have like 30 people carved into the mountain. It has to be a pretty big mountain. It does. Glenn Beck.

It's a little difficult. It is. But you can do it. But we can do it. We've been talking about... Here it is. We've been talking about the Mount Rushmore of terrible. A lot of great nominees. Eric Swalwell. God, I love that. Come on. He's got to be on there. Pat, you know, sometimes you come to a situation in life where you can give ground.

where you can compromise with the other side. And then you have issues that are your red lines. And Eric Swalwell's a red line. That man's face is going up. Yeah, it has to. On the Mount Rushmore of Terrible. I mean, if you're not going to charge him with treason, at least put him on the Mount Rushmore of Terrible. Just carve his face into a mountain immediately. Come on. You can get started on that one. That one's going on. I mean, Eric Swalwell's on this. Okay, that's happening.

I want the chiseling to begin right there. Yes, he deserves it. Every little bit of it. Also on there, Adam Schiff. Maybe China will even pay for it. Right. It probably would help. Can we talk about Schiff for a minute? Schiff, I think, is... Schiff and Swalwell are very similar nominees. Sometimes when you have this, like the MVP voting, and like this year, Aaron Judge won the MVP and Juan Soto finished third, both on the Yankees.

Sometimes you have maybe two guys on the same team split the vote a little bit, something like that. I feel like there's just a certain quality that both Swalwell and Schiff contain that make them special. Very similar types of candidates. But here's the thing on Schiff. He's going to become a senator. He got elected senator. He's going to be a senator from California. Can we include senators? Yes.

Or do you discard him and just stick to the house? These are house members that are terrible. If we do it that way, I mean, Schiff would still currently qualify, but I think we leave him off the list. Okay. I'm just crossing Schiff's name off. So we've also got almost every member of the squad. Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar...

Rashida Tlaib. Rashida Tlaib. Yeah. You got to have AOC in there. AOC. We have Maxine Waters and Debbie Wasserman Schultz nominated. Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi's, you kind of have Pelosi on there, right? Yeah, I would think so. She's a legend. A legend. Legendary terrible. Yes, legendarily terrible and so wealthy that her face might be cut in diamonds. They might use diamonds for her instead of stone.

All right. And your nominations, if there's somebody we've forgotten, let us know. 888-727-BECK. Let's go to Tom in Alabama. Hey, Tom, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi. Yeah, I want to ask you to leave space for my currently newly elected congressman because I predict he's going to end up deserving a face on Mount Rushmore. Who is it, Tom?

Well, I'm in Alabama District 2, you know, newly reformed and Shomari figures. Shomari figures. Wow. Somebody I'm not really even familiar with. They just won election?

That's correct. So he hasn't even served yet in Congress, but I think you're going to need a space for him eventually. I feel like we just got a call like, you know, I was watching a high school basketball game in Ohio and there's this player, LeBron James. You're not going to believe it. He's going to be a really big star. I feel like we're getting like that early call. It's kind of exciting. A new draft pick. Well, keep an eye out for Shamari figures. All right. Thanks, Tom. Appreciate it. Jeremy in South Carolina.

Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu. Hey, guys. How are we doing today? I would definitely, if we can go back and just base it on stupidity, it's got to be Hank Johnson. Anybody that thinks Guam is going to tip over, you make the list. That's true. I will say. Now, we've got to make sure we don't put this Mount Rushmore on Guam because Guam could just tip over. My fear is that the whole island will become so...

overly populated that it will tip over and capsize. Oh, wait, you got to get the response? I love the response so much.

We don't anticipate that. We don't anticipate that. How is that a real clip? I don't know. That's like the type of thing that people will think, oh, that was AI. That had to be AI. That can't be a real congressman asking that question. This is even before AI existed. It's before AI. So, yeah, that's real. All right, let's go to... I don't know. Is stupidity enough to get you on? I feel like there has to be a...

I don't know what the right word is. I do know the right word, but I shouldn't use it. But there's something that Swalwell has that Hank Johnson doesn't. They're both dumb. Yeah. But there's a stupidity with Johnson that's almost like you almost feel bad for the guy. Right. Right. Right? I don't feel that way with Eric Swalwell at all. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, that's purposeful. I'm trying to be an a-hole. Yes. Yes. There's something there. And it's working in those cases. Yeah.

Helga in Utah. Hi, you're on the program. Welcome. Thank you. How about our favorite American Indian, Elizabeth Warren? Oh, Liz Warren's good. She's good. Now, again, we're crossing into the Senate there, which is not, I don't think, against the rules, but just thinking of how many people we have in the House by itself, it might be difficult, but she's worthy of consideration. Definitely. Elizabeth Warren is legitimately terrible. Yeah. Yeah.

Jeannie? Is it Jeannie in Massachusetts? Hi, welcome. Yes. Elizabeth was a good one. But I'm going to go with Mitch the Squish. Mitch McConnell. Oh, the turtle. Interesting, the turtle. Yeah. I mean... The turtle. The turtle.

He does look a little bit like a turtle. Yes. And he's terrible, you know? For a Republican especially, he is terrible. He is in many ways terrible, I will say. But again, it's another senator. It's another senator, first of all. Secondly, you know, he did have a pretty clear role in the Supreme Court process.

Oh, that is true. That is true. Again, I'm not against bipartisanship here. I'm not opposed to it, but he has done some good things. They're limited. But just him blocking Merrick Garland from the Supreme Court has to warrant him at least clearing of Mount Rushmore, I think. I don't think he's on Mount Rushmore just for that one act. All right. I think that's fair. Jeff in Ohio.

Welcome. Good morning, Pat and Stu. Hey, how's it going? I think we had one go under the radar from Hawaii. Yes. Mazie Horrible-Horano. This is great. Now, the one thing I might say with Mazie Horano is the Hank Johnson. She's really stupid. I believe she's the dumbest senator.

Even dumber than Hank Johnson? Well, he's a congressman. Oh, that's right. Oh, right. Senator. In the Senate, I think she's the dumbest single person in the Senate. No, you might be right about that. She is a moron. Yeah, she's really stupid. But again, it's almost moron to the point I feel bad about it.

Like Hank Johnson. So I don't know. Again, I'm not, we don't make the rules here. This is a, we come together as a community, as a nation to build this Mount Rushmore of horrible. Yes. And so like you might have a different set of qualifications, but to me, that's how it makes me feel. I just feel, almost feel bad for her. Almost. Almost. Yeah.

Not quite. No, not quite. Almost. Let's go to Chris in Indiana. Hey, Chris. Hey, bud. Listen, I think you guys have forgotten the king of all of this. It ought to be there. And it's Mr. It worked, didn't it? Harry Reid. Oh, wow. Now we're going back to legends. That's old school. Yeah. Yeah.

And he's gone. We lost him. You'd think he wouldn't need to be current. He's obviously not. He's in the Senate, first of all. He was. And then he's no longer even alive.

So I feel like now, of course, that was the concept with Mount Rushmore. If there's a special Senate of terrible Mount Rushmore, he would definitely belong in that. Yeah. If you're going back through all of history, he would be on it. I was thinking current House members and current senators. Okay. So I'm going to leave Harry Reid off this particular mountain. Okay.

Let's go to Tom in South Carolina. Hey, Tom. Hey, how you guys doing? I've got your rear end of Mount Rushmore. It will be Barney Frank himself. Again, I think the same restriction applies with Barney. But that's an interesting one. Because I think if you go back and you do historically...

Would Barney Frank be on there? He'd be in consideration. Definitely. Definitely considered. But it's been so long. Yeah. You know, what's it been? 15 years or so? It has been a long time. Now, I hate to ask this question, but... Is he even alive? Is he alive? Is that the next question? Yes. I don't even... I've not heard from him in a long, long time, Barney Frank. Are you looking right now to see if he's... It does appear that he's still, thankfully, still alive. Oh, what a relief. Born in 1940. So he's actually... 84?

84? 84. Wow. He should run for president for the Democrats next time out. What are you talking about? I was just asking the other day, who do they have for 28? There you go. Barney Frank and Dick Gephardt. And Dick Gephardt. Who I think is also still alive. Amazingly. He actually is. He actually is still alive. Good. Yeah, you never get another...

When you're on with Pat Gray, you know there's going to be a Dick Gephardt joke. That's like the defining characteristic of any show with Pat Gray. Yes. His name will come up. There's no question about that. It's true. So I feel like, all right, can I give you my impression of this here, Pat? Yes. You tell me if you would disagree with any of these. First of all, I'm putting Eric Swalwell on. He's on. Yes. Number one. Because, well, treason.

Well, that's a defining characteristic. And to be clear, he was too... I don't know that he did it intentionally. He's just so dumb. He was sleeping with a Chinese spy. Right. But then he's just so brazen about calling out other members of Congress. It's about being so...

It's about being so... Having such a lack of self-awareness. Yes. That everyone mocks you all the time and you feel like it's okay to mock others? Yeah. It's like it's just impossibly stupid. That's why he must be on there. So he's on there. He must be on the list. Number two...

And there's no particular order here, but it has to be Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi has put together the resume of a champion. Okay. It has to be carved into the Mount Rushmore of terrible. Number three...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She defines a new generation of terrible. Yes. And she'll be terrible for a good long time because I can't ever see her losing that district in New York. No, but when she wins the presidency in 2028, we'd have to take her off because this is for House members. Right. But that's a few years away. And right now we can all be happy and act like...

Act like everything's going to go well for a while. But God, I will say she was actually technically qualified. She's old enough to run in 2024. But 2028, I think you're going to get real conversation for her as the nominee. I bet you do. I think she's the Bernie Sanders replacement. Right. It doesn't mean she wins. At that point, she'd be 39, right? Yeah. And so people... She's in. Yeah, she's in. And then the fourth one, I'm...

For myself here, Pat, because I think we have broad agreement on those three. Would you agree between you and I? I think my third one or my fourth one, I think I would put Rashida Tlaib on there.

You need a real strong anti-Semite. And there's just nobody who does it better. I would even argue better than Ilhan Omar when it comes to pure anti-Semitism. Probably more outspoken than Ilhan Omar. Because, I mean, is she officially in Hamas? Do we know yet? Is that confirmed? Or she just really likes them? Which one is it? I think she's in leadership in Hamas. They've had some issues lately in leadership. Yeah.

So I don't know if there's openings. I think I would go with Rashida Tlaib as my fourth. Anyone else you would put up there? I mean, there's some great names. People came up with some great names when they called in. Yes, they did. And maybe we just make a big – we use a bigger mountain. It's more than four. Right. Right, okay. 888-727-BECK.

Some more nominees for our Mount Rushmore of terrible. Yeah. Some people writing an attitude as America on X, uh, Steve writes, uh, we're going to have to use the entire continental divide to chisel all these faces. Good point. That's true. Some interesting nominees though. Uh, premier Jaya Paul. Okay. Yes. Yes. Okay. Terrible. Um, uh,

Adam Kinzinger? Oh, my gosh, yes. That's a good one. I didn't think of that. That's a good one. This one, though, I feel like should definitely be in consideration. Aaron writes, can't get through on the phone. You're forgetting Jasmine Crockett. She's a new one to the party, but man, she's fun. Yeah, she's catching up very quickly. Yeah, she should be maybe chiseled into the mountain as well. My, oh, she's bad. The Mount Rushmore. Yeah.

I like that. Also, I like this. There's an interesting report that's in the Independent, which is a British paper, right? They're getting this from the Puck News report on Joe and Mika's little visit to Donald Trump. Okay. The report is that they met with him over fears that

That then Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz would investigate the death of an intern in Scarborough's office during his time as a Florida Republican congressman. Because Gaetz... It's not interesting. That's Gaetz's district, right? Yeah. Scarborough was the representative that happened when he was representing that district. Yeah. And so...

to head off any kind of investigation into that past. And that's not from a conservative paper or anything? No. That's Puck News. Right. Is that true? Geez. I don't know, but that's interesting.

That's really interesting. Very interesting. Very interesting. By the way, BlazeOriginals.com slash Stu. Get the new documentary from Blaze Originals, Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.
