Now the ex-AI, that's Elon Musk's AI company, is now the best one.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
This is a good example, because we were talking about how this stuff today works. I could do that now and it will give me some sort of generic list of the things I might need and I'm never impressed by it. It's one of the reasons I don't have an actual assistant because I can never figure out what to tell them to do.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
But it's hard. There is a part of the job. This is a weird thing. As you get older, you realize that there's a part of the job that is just figuring out what to assign to someone in that role. No.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Sure. That's what I thought you meant. So, what does this mean for society? Let me give you an example. I was reading a piece the other day when I was talking about AI. And it brought up a point that you've discussed many times on the air, which is, They are now building systems with AI that you can go through and basically like a checklist and you can design the perfect mate. Absolutely.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Short, red hair, freckles, glasses, big boobs, small boobs, all the things that you want to choose and you can design the exact specific look Hello Japan! Richtig, ja. Das Roboter-Ding. Ich weiß nicht, was es mit dem japanischen ist, aber okay, was auch immer.

Wenn man sich darüber nachdenkt, sich über eine lange Zeit auszuprobieren, dann fühlt es sich so an, als hätte man eine Gesellschaft von Leuten, die nie draußen gehen. Das Touch-Grass-Ding wird real werden. Ja. Right?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Do we have any idea how this plays out? Like, for example, you could see that the girlfriend, I'm sick of her, I'm going to kill her thing, going a couple of different ways, right? Where one is, it starts presenting itself in real life, right? Like these people who think it's okay to do these terrible things to someone in the AI world.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
And the other side of this is, does it just put you into a place where you're not doing anything? That's Harari. That's what he's saying. And he's saying basically that's a good thing for these useless people.

What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
So thinking about this, because Wenn du sagst, dass es dich besser kennt, als du dich selbst kennst, ist eine Teil von dir die dunkle Teil von dir. Die Teil von dir ist das Ding, das du versuchst zu resistieren. Du hast diese Gedanken, die du nicht haben willst, und du versuchst sie zu vermeiden. Zum Beispiel, wenn es einen AI gab, einen Glenn Beck AI, der deine AI-Frau in diesem Fake-Welt war.

Entschuldige, Tanja, das ist nicht wahr. Sie ist gerade enttäuscht. Oh Gott, wirklich? Können wir ihm einen AI-Girlfriend geben?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Wenn das AI spezifisch designt war, mit diesem Gedanken kam, und er kennt dich besser als du dich selbst kennst, er kennt, was du willst, und hat versucht, dich zu überzeugen, einen Trinken zu trinken. You're a recovering alcoholic. But what you really want, what the AI knows you really want, is a drink. And it could convince you, it could look for your most vulnerable moments.

Das ist einfach nicht möglich. Das passiert nicht.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
And part of me thinks, like, when you talk about, when you get to the real esoteric side of that, right, where it's like, okay, they're going to vote, they're going to be human, they're going to have rights, we're not going to be able to discern what's real and what isn't. Like, part of me, my actual reaction to that is, come on. By 2035. Okay. By 2035, the biggest, the biggest...
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Ich weiß, dass du das gesehen hast, du hast viel darüber gelesen, du hast viel Gedanken darüber gemacht. Und auf irgendeinem Niveau ist meine Reaktion einfach so, komm schon. Wir wissen natürlich, was AI ist, was nicht. Wir werden es nicht richten. Aber du hast es einfach so schnell erwähnt, um das vorzunehmen, bevor du weitergehst.

What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
The conversion of half of society saying with a series of magic words you can change your gender really starts to convince me that all this stuff is possible. It is. Because it is like we lost 150 million people to this idea that you can change genders by saying you're the other gender. That is so obviously nuts. and would have been thrown at immediately anyone who said it.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
For my entire life, up until like last week, would have been thrown into the nut house.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Of course we will. Yes. I mean, I'm not saying, hopefully we, when I say we... We don't fall for it. But many of us probably will. They'll be very effective. And at least the people who fell for that you can change genders by saying you're the other gender are going to fall for it.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
So the FBI came up with a term for a new crime called house stealing. And it's also known as title fraud. And it's something that was kind of like I mean, not even thought of, honestly, for a very long time. And it started to build and they started noticing it happening more and more often. One county has up to 80 instances of this in just the last year and a half.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
And basically criminals go and get your home's title online. They print out these documents. They transfer ownership. Just like if you had sold your house to them. They fake the sale. And you're still living in the house, but they have paper control over it. And they can take out loans in your name against your equity. Das ist nicht fair. Das ist nicht richtig.

Also wenn du das sagst, weil natürlich mit jedem Konflikt, du kannst es zurücktracen, so lange du willst, um einen Seiten zu finden, der etwas macht, das es anfängt, richtig? Aber wenn wir über den aktuellen Konflikt sprechen, das wurde von Russland angefangen. Russia lined up a bunch of tanks and came across the borders.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Yes, we can trace this back and say, well, we should have not allowed the theoretical possibility of Ukraine entering NATO. And we did have negotiations about that. We could also go back and say that Vladimir Putin signed a guarantee of sovereignty for the nation of Ukraine. We can go through all that back stuff and go back and forth, but the current thing going on
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Yeah, I mean, this is basically the central tenet of their policy platform.

The revolution against Donald Trump begins here. They should try maybe calling him Hitler. I think if they tried that, it would make a difference. That's the one thing that might move the needle for them. Might make a difference. Do you think the Elon Musk thing, Glenn, is a successful... No, it's not smart for them. Here's what's going to happen with Elon Musk. As long as those two stay together,
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Es ist ein interessanter Thema und ich muss sagen, es ist einer von denen, in dem ich nicht so viel Deep Thought eingebracht habe. Gleichermaßen. Ist das schlecht? Nein, ich meine, es gibt viel, was normal ist.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
But it goes really to... I guess the argument there, though, is it's not, right? And that's certainly Liz's argument, is that it is not a godsend.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
Yeah, it's an interesting conversation.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
That goes back to the abortion conversation as well. Politically, it's interesting too, because again, Donald Trump ran on this issue. He wanted to literally make it mandated that it was free. That was his position during the campaign. IVF is free. Yeah.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
So that is something that if you have a real problem with IVF, obviously that's a, I mean, Liz was talking about it as, you know, like they really need to look at other options. And I think that might be a good path for them to say, hey, there's other options to help with fertility. Let's encourage those. But this was his, this is a campaign issue for Trump.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
It was a big one because he was being accused of wanting to stop it. He went the other way hardcore and said, no, I want it free. I want insurance companies to be mandated to make it free. I don't like that. Oh, I don't like that either. From a separate standpoint, I don't like it. But it's a fascinating thing, because he's essentially fulfilling a campaign promise with us.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25
A lot of moral questions because of technology that need to be answered quickly.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25

The Glenn Beck Program
What Pro-Lifers Need to Know About IVF | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25

So you've heard me talking about a crime the FBI calls house stealing. It's also known as title fraud. And if you own a home or property, your title and the hard earned equity you've built are at serious risk. This is a fast growing crime and it is a serious problem for homeowners. A California district attorney recently stated that known property.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
Only known title fraud attempts over the last year and a half jumped from zero to 80. And I got to think that you don't find all of them. That's kind of the problem with the crime. You don't find a lot of them until later. First, they find your home's title online. Then they print out the documents to transfer ownership. And then they forge your signature.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
They file it with the local recorder's office and they get ownership of your home transferred out of your name and into theirs.

NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
Yeah, I mean, we can go into it a little bit maybe on today's show if we have time, but I do think that there is a... But the end game, if it winds up being that, and Donald Trump talked about this yesterday, that Putin would accept European troops in Ukraine as a peacekeeping force. Interesting. If that happens, which would be a massive line for Putin to let go of.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25

We've already done that. I mean, I don't know. I think it's relatively clear what happened at the beginning of this, you know, war. That being said, it's like I think you get we get hung up in Donald Trump's negotiations a little bit too much. I think it's like he's he's he's negotiating with someone. It ain't us.

NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
so i don't need to chase him around every little corner and everything he says because it does me no good i want to judge him on his results and like you know for example he at least claims again this is not done but he claims that he has that putin has now approved european troops inside of ukraine that's true that's a major concession from russia i mean i would like russia to get nothing out of this because i think that they were the aggressor here however

you know, we are where we are. And if we want this thing to end and not blow up into World War III, we have to, at some point, look at this and come to some sort of conclusion. And I just, I want it over without it blowing up into a giant nuclear war. And I also want, in the future,
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
russia to be prevented from doing this again and i think that's probably the best ukraine can help for or hope for at this point they're not going to get crimea back it's it's probably not happening no now they can try by the way we should point out they can try they can do all this stuff on their own they have they are a sovereign nation and can try to do everything they want to try to get that that territory back but we are not required to participate in that correct
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
and you know if they want to go to europe and get all that money for all that stuff okay but i mean we have a new president he has new policy we we do have to honor what what what the country you know did i think it's weird to go to ukraine and say hey here's all this money and then later on act like they have to pay it back they don't they don't have to pay it back probably because we did make promises by a guy who unfortunately was president the united states joe biden that being said donald trump also has the opportunity as a new president to change the policy and to try to change the dynamic of this negotiation
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
Seems like that's what he's trying to do. I'm not going to sit here and just chase around everywhere because he starts calling, you know, Zelensky names. I don't need to freaking upend my life. I don't know. Like, let's see where this thing ends. Let's see what he does. Yeah, exactly. These are all negotiations. And we act as if this guy wasn't already president. We saw all this.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25

He's nice to our enemies and he's mean to our allies. That is how he, that's how he operates at the beginning of a negotiation. He usually has some sort of end game in mind and it may very well be

our interest in these minerals, right, where we do benefit from them as a country, but also... So do they. It puts us in a position where we don't want Russia to go in there anymore, and that this probably long-term benefits them, even though they might not like it. Again, I... He might not go down this road. I don't know. We're all analyzing some weird code. But that's the point.

But I think it's funny to extend it real quick, Jason. The other side of this is also true. The media views him through the prism that he's a fascist and Hitler and the worst person on the world. And he hates America. So if you view it for that. From that prism, you can also find all the negatives because he's saying everything.

This is how he does these things. And if you realize that, you kind of like... You know, you back off. It's like, you know, you're watching a Fast and Furious sequel.

NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
And I think he sees a calcification in all of this that he wants to break up. And by the way, he should be judged on the results of this. This doesn't mean he's a magician. He might screw this up. It might go poorly. If it does, we should judge him that way. But to get all fired up about every freaking truth he puts out there, it's just silly.

Listen to this. Again, another thing that should probably make the main show. So three kids in the Congo, a little hungry. You know, that happens in the Congo, you know, as you might know. They are looking for some food. They find some food in the form of a, say with me, dead bat carcass. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
yeah and so no it wasn't happy news it wasn't cat it was a bad carcass it was just they were like hey that looks like a bat looks good let's eat it now fast forward a fat soup sounds like it's familiar they just probably just ate it wings at all now could have been like look maybe the meat was rancid right um bad things happen when you eat bad meat and and i will say uh about three days after they ate this bat carcass uh all three kids were dead
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
So that's bad. That's bad. Now that's bad. But again, could be rancid meat. They ate the beef. They ate the bad. So that's bad. Fast forward a few days later, now 50 additional people are dead. Oh, no. There's now 413 cases of this, 431 cases of this.
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
Symptoms are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue. And then I think you melt. Significant portions of the deaths taking place within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. So there's some more good news. You get this, and you're like, I don't really feel dead. Right. And remember, we used to talk about with COVID, we'd have that fatality rate. I'm like, what is it? Is it 0.4%?
The Glenn Beck Program
NSA Officials Used Classified Chat to Talk Smut on YOUR Dime | Guests: Rep. Riley Moore & Rep. Aaron Bean | 2/25/25
Is it 0.5%? What is it? This one's so far 12.3%. Wow.
The Glenn Beck Program

I'm never coming back. How dangerous would this be right now after what we just went through? Because so many people now are...

I think we spend a lot of money on our military, and a lot of it's not directed the proper way. No. But with your concern, and I think very valid concern that you've laid out many times about AI and drones and all these things, you know, Is this the time to cut spending to the Pentagon with that type of threat on the board?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
Over 10. Double digits at least. Right.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
So you just stop innovating in the military until ASI is here?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
That is a problem I haven't been able to solve. Yeah, you haven't solved that. Because I'm with you. I think there's enough. My thought is there's enough in the military that you can cut and redirect and still save money. And that I think I'm for. I'm concerned about the military's focus being efficiency, however.

I don't think that when you're developing some... I mean, Star Wars is the example of that from the Reagan days, right? When you're trying to develop something like that, if you're counting every single dollar, your focus is not the lethality, as Pete Hegseth's talked about, of what you're trying to do.

Are you concerned about a bridge here, though? We don't know when this is coming. We don't know how it's going to develop. We don't know what it's going to look like. No one does. So, you know, we still need the best planes. Well, planes are important, right?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
I mean, you're making a big bet on ASI and AGI with no backup plan. I mean, why wouldn't you want to have still the best planes in your arsenal?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
Right. Cause it's still going to have, I mean, AI is going to probably come up with something that flies that is going to, it's going to be hypersonic and it is, I mean, it might even be of a new material.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
Yeah, I was going to ask you because AI obviously has a lot of negative potential consequences. And if we're putting the government, the military, in control of that, does that scare you?
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
I think, too, I guess I'm concerned, and this is from a guy I've talked to for 20 years who continually repeats the phrase, I'm always wrong about timing. I'm concerned about that bridge period. Because I think you're probably right. It is coming really, really fast. But if something happens, if something goes off course, if you don't know, you need to be prepared for that bridge period.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
You're saying that we should sort of rest on our laurels a little bit and just say, hey, we already have the best technology. We already have the best military. Let's not try to develop new things until this AI thing comes.

Of course we are. I will say that, like, to me, I think there's a lot of older projects.

Even though I know what you're saying, they might be

What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
Part of this comes to the idea that the way I think about government spending, which is government spending is always worse than the private sector. Huh. which is a very basic conservative point, right? I think, though, the one time that you, obviously constitutionally, you have certain powers that the government spends, defense is one of them, that they're going to typically be responsible for.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
The way I look at it is government can do some things relatively well if you don't care about efficiency, right? But businesses do. Right. So they will they will not take certain risks that, you know, have a low percentage chance of paying off. And the idea that maybe you come up with a nuclear bomb and you're able to to stop global wars for multiple decades.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
you know, a private company, you know, like very... I mean, certainly they shouldn't be coming up with nuclear bombs, but you know what I'm saying? Like that type of risk, that type of expenditure that will likely fail is the type of thing that the government can take on because when you don't care about efficiency, when you don't care about, hey, we tried 25 things, 24 of them failed.

Yeah. The only other close month was April 2017, right after Trump came in the first time. But that was much more about just tone. And it's and it did slow things down. This seems to be backing up with action. And, you know, I. You know, I tend to agree on the tariffs with Carol.

What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25
I do think there's a chance that he is doing this in an extended way of what he did last time in which he's saying instead of saying the threat of tariffs for negotiation, he's thinking they need to feel the pain of the tariffs and then they'll come to the table with whatever he's looking for, which we don't really know what it is.
The Glenn Beck Program
What Trump MUST Say in His First Address to Congress | Guest: Carol Roth | 3/4/25

I will say one of the big errors, I think, of this policy and, you know, of all the anti-Canada stuff, 51st state tariffs is it's, you know, Trudeau's party was down by about 20 points going into this election. They now lead. You've got to be kidding me. I mean, the conservatives had basically locked this thing up and had a cakewalk.
The Glenn Beck Program

It's true, though. I mean, this is what their perspective is, right? How do we heal? How do we fix this?

All this investigation stuff was going on, not after, but before he started all of a sudden recognizing how bad illegal immigration was. And, you know, obviously this has led to things, according to even the Trump administration in the court hearing, that the reason why they want to dismiss this case against him is because they need him to enforce justice. Immigration law.

Now, you could talk about whether that's a good idea or a bad idea or that's the way you should handle it.

Yeah. Too soft. They were just enforcing bizarre things that now he's being critical of. Right. I mean, it's just absolutely unbelievable. But it is, you know, the sketch I happened to watch yesterday from Portlandia was they opened up a women's health abortion clinic in a WeWork space. WeWorks to kill your child.

A little tent while everyone else is outside typing on their computers and they're performing abortions. That's the mindset of this party. It is. And he has been there at the forefront of it for multiple years.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And the reason he's at the forefront of it is because he is gay full stop. No one would know who he was if he liked women. Literally, he would be a local politician that never rose to any level of notoriety whatsoever with the one exception of the types of genitals he likes in the bedroom. That is literally the only reason you know his name today.

The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Now, that doesn't mean it's a good policy. No, it doesn't. Also, it doesn't mean that the $1,200 that went to people is a good policy. However, if you're going to praise the $1,200, you really can't bash the $5,000 as being meaningless. No. you really can't.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Right. The other part about it was... And again, there were so many of these checks and giveaways during the COVID period, it's hard to keep track of them. But one of the main ones was toward the end of the Trump administration, as we were getting close to the election in 2020, Republicans opposed another giveaway. And Trump came in and kind of said, no, we should have it.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Remember, he was the one pushing for it. Right. Which I don't know how you could delete that from the history. Right. So I don't, none of, literally none of what she said makes sense. She's one of my new faves, by the way, Jasmine Crockett. Yes.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
She seems to be even crazier than like AOC, which is, there's a high bar to clear. Wait, is it crazy or stupidity? I mean, there's certainly a combination of both infecting, I would say, both of the representatives we're discussing.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But she's fun. We could do shows every day just playing clips. That was, by the way, probably the most sane thing I've ever heard her.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And I will say I and when you bring up the stupidity quotient here for just a moment, one good piece of evidence is if you apply her logic that she just gave you, we can't spend that five thousand dollars per person because we don't have the money. Every program that she likes goes away. Yes. Because we don't have the money to pay for any of the crap that she wants. Yes. She just wants it.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
This one, because she's decided today while she's on TV that giving a bunch of money to people is bad because Elon Musk wants it and not some Democrat. She's upending her entire philosophy of government. But that's because she's dumb. And that's why she's one of my new favorites. Yeah.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Yeah, there is a Doge number, but it's really hard to substantiate at this point, and so much of it would have to go through Congress to really be lasting. I know. All that being said, you know, the idea that they're going to get to $2 trillion to me is a fantasy. I would love it.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But the only way you're really going to make a massive difference when it comes to Doge, when it comes to spending cuts, and this is a big distinction, is through these entitlement programs, which they don't want to touch. Or getting the debt financed at levels that are lower. That can make a big long-term difference as well. That one's achievable.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Now, that is more of what they want to do, right? This is the pace they would need to be on, right? The way this works. The pace they'd need to be on to get to what they said they were going to do. So they would be at about $120 billion. I don't think that means what they've cut so far. They have made cuts. However, I really do think. I think it's pretty close to that.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
I really do think the Doge situation is better viewed, not as a cost-cutting exercise. You may get some of that, which is great, but... The more important work they will do is transparency, is cutting regulations, is finding inefficiencies, is making the world better for you as a small business owner. Those types of things are going to be, I think, more impactful long term.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
It's really hard for them to cut because they could cut. $100 billion, and then that same amount of money is going to go out the window in paying the debt or the interest on the debt that we already have.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
It is. It's funny him doing this commentary in sunglasses inside with a chain that keeps bumping against the microphone.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But it's funny to see that. But I mean, I think it's true, too. I mean, I think to illustrate that point a little bit, Donald Trump came out and said he wanted to at first buy, but then just take over Gaza. Just take it over. When's the last time you saw a real protest by the American left about anything going on in Israel or Palestine? No.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Palestinian territories or whatever you want to call them. They just seem like now the election's over, just not talking about it at all. Now, we all know there is real support on the left for Hamas. There's a Hamas wing of the party. Yeah.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But like there's no widespread popular protests going on here in this country, despite what is going on there, where he's saying, I'm going to build like golf courses on the coast of Gaza. And they're like, I don't think.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
No, I know. I know. I'm not saying that. But like the left would translate. Yes. They're like, hey, you know, yesterday on October 7th, they went in and killed and raped a bunch of people and they were out protesting in favor of Hamas the next day.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Like I know it's not. I know they don't need an actual justification to do it. The point is, I think that, you know what he's I'm trying to make the same point he's making, which is.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
A lot of this stuff isn't even real. It's used at that time for an end that they feel they need at that time.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But the argument about it is not, they're not making an argument on the same plane we are, right? We're trying to, we think we shouldn't spend more than we have. We think that we shouldn't take more money from people. That's not what they think, right?
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Like the Stacey Abrams story is a great example of this from just the other day where she starts this charity to install like, you know, pumps and, you know, solar panels and nonsense. Yeah. It literally has $100 of revenue. It took in $100 as a charity, $100 of revenue, and then it got a $2 billion grant from the government.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
$2 billion, a place that had $100 in revenue just mysteriously gets a $2 billion grant from our government under Joe Biden. Like that's the type, that's what's being protected here.

Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
You just can't do it. That used to be wartime, catastrophic, economic collapse type of stuff. In fiction novels. Right, and now we're just there all the time. I will say this, Glenn, and you know this about me. I'm about as anti-tariff as anybody. Yes. Right. Like I am, you know, Scott Lincecum, if you know him, I'm basically Scott on tariffs. I'm against them. I don't like taxes.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
He doesn't even like terraces. No, no.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
I don't like, I don't even like Paris. No, he doesn't.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
I don't like it. However, I've been relatively muted in my criticism of these tariffs. And what he just said is part of the reason why. These tariffs, which come along with these tariffs, an economic projection of revenue, right? As he said, like, oh, we're going to bring in $500 billion in the next... Now, is that really going to happen? I don't know.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
What tends to happen if you have a long-term tariff is that companies that don't want to deal with that tariff move to other places, and there are cheaper places than China to make these goods, and they wind up coming shipped in from a different country, and you're chasing the tariffs. There's all sorts of issues with those projections. However, what you need in a reconciliation bill to
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
pass a reconciliation bill is a balanced budget on the bill and actually lowering the deficit. So if he can put in that bill and have economic projections that help that bill get across the finish line, what we might see is actual legitimate tax cuts sort of based on, I would say, a gimmicky approach, but one that may very well be needed, especially when you don't get the scoring that you want.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
So I do think that is part of the strategy here and why he's launched those so early. Without even at times giving these countries a chance to talk. Right. Like he's kind of fired these things out there really quickly. And he just admitted it. But my suspicion the entire time was part of this is going to be scoring for this reconciliation bill that's right around the corner. Yes.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Which needs to get done relatively quickly. So I do think that's part of it. And I understand that strategy.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
He doesn't even have control with the music.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
15%?
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And this is why that policy is better than trying to tariff your way into the same solution. Because if you lower the rates, companies come because they want to come here because they have lower rates and getting the benefits of being in America. Obviously, you can find some really low rates in countries you don't want to necessarily be in. Yes. But to come to America, you get that rates.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
You bring the companies here. So that's one of the goals, right? And then in addition, you get that tax revenue here, right? Yes. The issue with tariffs is you get one or the other. If your policy to bring people here succeeds, you lose the revenue from the tariffs. Correct. If you keep the tariffs high and get that revenue, they don't come back here. Correct. So that is why that policy gets both.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
I mean, he said before that he would like all tariffs to be zero, even though he says also he really likes tariffs. I think he likes what they accomplish, not necessarily raising taxes on people. He doesn't like doing that, obviously. But he does like the idea of fairness.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And that's why the reciprocal tariffs, I think, really work for him, you know, where he can say, look, I'm not trying to tax you guys out. I don't want my people to pay more for stuff. What I want, though, is it to be fair. And that is something that's hard to argue with. It's hard to argue with. Again, you know, you can, but still. Oh, they will.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
But it's a sensible thing because it also incentivizes them to lower theirs. You know, I mean, I think we can. We are the number two exporter in the world. Outside of China, we are the number two. We were number one for a long time. We're now number two. But it's not like we don't sell products to the rest of the world. There's no reason we should be penalized.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And there's no reason we should be penalized in a higher level than the people that are importing stuff to here. All right.

The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Okay, because I thought, did you tell me if I'm wrong on my perception here, is that the broccoli family maintained creative control, but did not any, you know, didn't have the, obviously not the distribution company. So... they could basically block a James Bond movie for as long as they wanted by saying, no, you can't do it this way, no, you can't do it this way.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25

The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Yeah. Well, they wanted to make sure they wanted to guarantee that it would be only in theaters. It was the way, at least I understood it. Broccoli's were like, we're a broccoli family. Eat your broccoli.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
Want to go to the theater. It's a great movie theater snack. Right. A little broccoli. So they wanted to keep it in the theaters. And Amazon was like, we'll do what we want. Yeah, I think there was some I don't even think it was that rude. I think it was more like we can't guarantee that. Right. We're a streaming company and we're we like to put things on our streaming services. Right.
The Glenn Beck Program
Senate Republicans Just Caved on Cutting Inflation | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 2/21/25
And they were like, well, we don't want James Bond. Yeah. And I think they had because they had creative control, really had the opportunity to make sure essentially make Amazon's life a living hell on this stuff. which they, I think, did for about four years. And now, probably with a very large payment with multiple commas in it, are now allowing these movies to go on.

There'd be an additional benefit when they didn't go that way. It did, I think, shake him a little bit. And he was willing to come out and say, look. You know, I think the most important part of this is the China part of it. I'm going to stick by that. Let's give a 90-day... Everyone can take a breather here a little bit here and see where this goes.

You know, as a guy who believes in free trade, I'm not a fan of tariff policy, generally speaking. China, of course, as an adversary, there's a little bit of a difference there. But I think this was the right move for President Trump to remove this. I think it was too widespread. And, you know... There are a lot of good arguments to change our policy towards China. They do cheat.

They are an adversary and they're not out for our best interest.

But then again, no one voted for me. They voted for him.

We could – I am concerned that if this policy is this broad and this strong, if that's where we wind up landing in 90 days, it could do enough damage to the economy, the people's general speaking economy, not worrying about necessarily millionaires in the market but regular people who are paying much more for goods and having to deal with the outcomes of that process.

overseas for a very long time, which he finally locked down after a couple of years. That contract had a designated production schedule in a foreign country and a designated price that he was going to sell to the oil company. Well, now he's paying – if these tariffs were to go through at their old pace, much more than he was paying – that he was earning from the product.

So now he's underwater and he has to figure out whether do I accept essentially a loss on every product that I sell to this new company to lock them in for a long-term deal and hope the policy changes at some point. Or do I go back to the company and say, hey, I have to bail on this deal, and then it's opened up to bidding all over again, right?

These are hitting his own supporters, and they don't control this policy. They believe in his mission. They believe China and all these other countries have kind of screwed us in some of these situations. But like they're at a point where they just are out of their own control. And I think there is a certain percentage of the American people who are going to stick by Trump no matter what he does.

Especially when you have some behind-the-scenes investigation that doesn't corroborate it. I mean, I think there's real questions as to whether you should even cover an accusation like that when it's just an accusation and there's no other evidence corroborating it.

You don't have to necessarily hit some legal standard to report the claim, but you should have some idea whether you think it's true or not. And unfortunately, I think the filter they run it by is do we want this to be true? That's the beginning and the end of their investigation in a lot of these claims.
The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And the fact that they did or at least allegedly did an investigation that didn't corroborate it, made it seem like it wasn't true and still aired it is absolute, I think, hitting that standard of malice. I mean that is completely beyond the pale. You know, a lot of times I hear stuff. I'm sure you do, Megan, as well. Callers call us. We get email tips.

You don't need a study on this. Every single person on earth knows it to be true. And it's so offensive. And I will say this about John Oliver. And I think... He is really a unique person.

His YouTube videos get massive attention to the extent – it's absurd. Like he will name a video Lead and he'll put it out there and it's a 40-minute monologue on Lead and it will get – three times as many views as he has followers, which is millions.

He has a unique ability to be able to convince the left to that their worst instincts are the only smart, incredible position to follow.

And he comes out here and condescends to the left to an extent that they think, they go to all their friends at work and say, this is what I'm sticking with. Oh, of course men and women should, men should be able to play in women's sports. And it puts them in a position politically.

I totally agree with you. The only thing I would actually quibble with you at all on all of that, Megan, is when you said he was missing the point, because in some ways that sort of insinuates it was unintentional.

The Megyn Kelly Show
American Freed by Trump, John Oliver's Outrageous Segment, and Saving Your Marriage, with Stu Burguiere, and Jason and Erica Redman | Ep. 1046
And a lot of this comes from the fact that Oliver comes from this this old like Jon Stewart tree where you're allowed to basically ignore facts to make jokes. I'm just a comedian.

One of the things you can say, I think, quite clearly about President Trump in these situations, and he's shown it over and over again, is he actually cares. This is a totally different approach, I think, than, as you mentioned, Biden. He really cares about this stuff. And because he gets tons and tons of criticism for his relationship to Russia.

There's benefits to having a relationship that at least you can talk to a country like this that is doing things like this. You know, I have no fan of what Russia did and is doing in Ukraine.

Actually, I just thought people were getting yippy. And I think that's true. Right.

And while I think he has a real true belief in in tariff policy, it's something I think is one of them. He's been the most consistent on since, you know, gosh, back in the 1980s. I remember this guy talking about it. He also recognizes that there there are downsides. He warned about pain going into that and seeing the reaction of this. He may have thought, too, that the rates would come down.

It really is incredible. These things move really quickly in the Trump world. I think in a vacuum, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs either. Tariffs are a tax, and they do tend to do some economic damage. They raise prices. Donald Trump talked about that very specifically and said we could be seeing some short-term harm from this, but long-term, he thinks it's going to be worth it.

What I think is kind of fascinating about the way everyone's reacted over this particular round of tariffs is we're all kind of acting like we weren't here for the first term. The first term, a lot of this was talked about as well. Some of it went into place. Some of it was more targeted than initially proposed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And some of it wound up just being what most of, I think, these threats are from Donald Trump, which are negotiating tactics. We all know how Donald Trump operates. And he puts something like this out there, a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico. And within two days, he's already got a giant chunk of what he wanted to get done and a month delay.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And the month delay in these tariffs indicates he wants more. He hasn't had everything that he wants yet, but he's giving them a little bit of time to come across those lines so that these things don't have to go into place. And he is just able to do this in a way. that I think is central to his overall philosophy, that we don't need to apologize for being Americans.

We don't need to apologize for being a global superpower. You saw this with Panama, your great interview with Rick just a few minutes ago.

You can't be letting people from your southern border traverse through your entire nation without stopping them as they go to our border. That's a basic ask.

So we will sit here and we will wait you out if we have to. We'd like to get to a place, and Trump has talked about this in the past, we'd love to get to a place where there was none of this stuff.

I mean, you don't have to call it that. But we are sort of big boying the rest of the world right now. And that's OK. Like. That's a good thing. It's a place we should get back to. We shouldn't be unfair to people.

We shouldn't be unfair to other countries. We shouldn't just terrorize them for the sake of the pleasure.

But what we should be able to do is stand on our values, prioritize our own citizens and the economy they have to deal with and the safety and crime situation that they have to deal with on a daily basis and say, look, we'll work with you to stop these problems, but you have to care about it a little bit. And right now it doesn't look like you do.

Yeah, no, you're not going to hear much about that. And I like Harry Enten, and generally he does some good work, actually, at CNN, as opposed to some others over there. But you look at a poll on tariffs, you're not going to get the entire picture, I don't think. I mean, again, I don't like them. I would be in that 51%, generally speaking.

Some targeted tariffs at times have been beneficial, but we do see prices go up. I mean, we raised tariffs on...

Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
you know washing machines years ago by 25 and the price for washing machines went up 25 and people had to pay more for that um sometimes that can be worth it especially if it's targeted in a way but like i don't even think that's what we're talking about here you know tariffs as a policy are one thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And you can look at that and see what the negative consequences are and some of the positive consequences. Really what it is, though, is negative consequences for both sides and who can kind of withstand the heat that comes from that. But more here is what we're seeing, like the best case scenario is what's happening with Mexico right now. The tariff didn't even go into effect. He just said it.

That was him just saying a thing. And because he said a thing, and people, thank you, Megan, people actually believed him for once. It wasn't an empty threat. People knew he wanted to do this and would do it if he had to. And because of that, we're starting to get the things that we should have already been receiving anyway.

Yeah, make free trade free, I think is a great way to go. And this is part of it. And I will say, I only once ordered from one of those companies, a workout shirt. It was like $2.99. And I did not think there was a way to make me look worse in the gym than I already do. It never works out. But that did it.

I sure hope Tom Homan and Donald Trump hear that because that certainly sounded like a challenge to me. You know, I was playing a little game of chicken. And I after watching what this president is doing around the world right now, I don't think I'd want to challenge him to that particular game. Seems like a losing venture.

You know, I feel like, you know, you mentioned the polls of the American people. And they see this, I think, in the same way. I know that when I drive home every day, if I roll through a freaking stop sign, there just always happens to be a police officer there to remind me that that's not actually allowed.

If I go a few miles an hour over the speed limit, they are there to make sure that I know I'm not following that rule. And yet we're supposed to just accept that. That people cross the border, make a major life decision like that against our laws and set up life here for years and years and decades and have families and generations. They're not following the rules.

They either have to have some sort of legal ID or fake ID or they're not paying taxes, most likely, certainly other crimes being committed. But like that is something I think the American people see is like, hey, if you're breaking the rules, there should be a consequence to that. We shouldn't be treating you unfairly, but we should be treating you like everybody else gets treated.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
That's how I feel like I'm going to get treated. I mean, unless you're Hunter Biden, it seems like when you commit a crime, you usually have some consequences to it. And so I'm not surprised the American people feel that way. It's only rational to feel that way.

And if you're Phil Murphy, if you think that you can stand up and essentially say to the country, screw you, we don't care what you think about our laws. This is a law I don't like. And so therefore I will break it and I will be so out there. I will tell you about it on television and expect nothing to happen to me. That is not a society that has a civilized rule of law.

Well, it's hard to find the right people when you've created a totally new type of person that you have to somehow fit into your quota. It's got to be difficult. I could see the challenge there. Totally. I have two reactions to this. One is I put on my American hat and I look at this and I think this is very disconcerting and terrible because it would be great if we had –

Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
An opposition that may very well get back into power someday that had some level of sanity, that maybe they saw how things went over this past election and reacted to it and said, hey, maybe we shouldn't go down these roads anymore. It would be great that if we lost an election, the other side wasn't so crazy as to throw us this far off track every time they win.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
The other part of me just really wants conservative candidates to win. And my eyes light up when I see stuff like this. They've learned absolutely nothing. They are just as ridiculous and terrible with this stuff as they were before they got slaughtered in this election. You'd think a moment like that would make you have a bit of self-reflection, Megan, but apparently not.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
It's a puzzle that they can't put together. I mean, they really don't know how even to attack it. Again, maybe if you had that real moment of self-reflection, you might be able to find a path.

Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
But if you think about the incentives of not only activist politics, but also the internet, it's really hard for a party that has kind of crazy views and goes to the American people and says these crazy views and locks you in with that sort of maniacal purity test that they've been putting people on over the years. How do you unwind that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
You know, I mean, look at, you know, look at someone like John Fetterman, who, again, is a Democrat who says Democratic things in both Democratic ways 90 percent of the time, but just occasionally comes out with something that I would call rational. He's treated as a villain for that. They've excised every pro-life Democrat from the party. They're all gone at this point.

And they have so many different problems here. It's not just DEI and it's not just all the things that we've been talking about here. I mean, you mentioned Phil Murphy. Go back to Phil Murphy's performance during COVID. I mean, he is one of the only guys that could challenge Andrew Cuomo for the level of incompetence. And what do they do with these people? They reward them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
Andrew Cuomo is probably going to be the next mayor of New York City. So they don't know.

Oh, you can keep going on that strain forever if it's up to me, Megan. It deserves to be said. He was he terrorized the entire state during this period and went on TV and acted. Yeah, he is legitimately a villain. And I will say to less attention because I think of generally Cuomo being such an arrogant jerk on top of it.

less attention went to phil murphy but he did many of the same things during that period he got almost no heat for it but like he did get some attention from the voters of of new jersey who made his re-election a lot closer we're seeing elections in new jersey get much much closer we went through a period i mean my entire life analyzing politics and i have to do like you know i
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
You'd have to call the states and do all the political predictions over here at The Blaze. And as I go through that process, my entire life, there was always one poll in New Jersey that showed it kind of close and gave Republicans a little hope. And then when election day would come, you'd, of course, have your hopes and dreams thwarted.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
I think for the first time, New Jersey is in play. You mentioned what Scott Pressler is doing. This stuff is actually happening now. And the American people are sick of what they've been getting. And if the Democrats don't wake up, they will turn into a party that's just completely irrelevant in a lot of places in this country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And frankly, I think that's a good outcome for the future of the nation. But it is one they really have to face right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
Yeah, no, it's very true. I think they are. Now, I hesitate to be too confident here, right? Things do change. I think the Democrats felt like this back probably in 2008 after Barack Obama. I remember people writing books saying Republicans would only be a regional party from here on out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
And things change quickly. The next election was the Tea Party election. So it does change quickly. And you got to be really, really careful. But like when I look at that, you know, the New York Magazine cover you mentioned, obviously they cropped out all the black people to make it look like it was an all white audience. But when you look at that whole picture.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
That's an inspiring picture of our future. It is. I mean, you're right. It was like a bunch of good looking younger people who were like inspiring, engaged in politics, cared about, you know, relationships in a traditional sense. You know, when when when you become the uncool party, it's really hard to shake that. We saw that back in the 80s, but like the just say no thing when it came to drugs.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
Look, the right message, obviously, you shouldn't do drugs. But, you know, it was just seen as uncool. And for a long time, Democrats took advantage of that, showing Republicans as the uncool party. And over time, they turned to this party that was like, you know, just say no to the guy making the funny joke.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
Just say no to the guy who says follow the law or who says that you can notice things like women playing against men in their sporting events. They turn into a bunch of Karens, right?

But, you know, it is just like it's the devaluing of it. Right. Like it's just like if this is all you are, then what are you? Right.

And Kanye West has spent, I don't know, he's been all over the board, but at one point he was singing religious songs. So I don't know what's happening with that. And I was also concerned about the cushions on the chairs inside the venue, because if you're not wearing clothing, I mean, I just don't think that's sanitary. It just seems like...

Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
I think maybe as a conservative and someone who can appreciate some of the things Donald Trump does as president, we saw Kanye West put on a red hat for like two weeks and we lost track of the point that he's just completely insane. He was insane when he was saying George Bush doesn't like black people. He was insane when he went to the Donald Trump side.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Tariff Threats Get Results, and Absurdity at Grammys and DNC Conference, with Ric Grenell, Stu Burguiere, and Coach Tuberville | Ep. 998
He might have made a point or two that he liked, but he was insane. He was insane when he ran for president against Donald Trump. He was insane when he started hanging out with Nick Fuentes and becoming an anti-Semite. And he's insane now. That is the really simple summary, I think, of everything with Kanye West. None of this makes any sense because he... is insane. He's a crazy person.

I mean, it's fascinating. She said diverse voices or different voices from different backgrounds are important. Well, sure. I mean, we don't want the same person singing all the songs. We don't want everyone. I mean, you do get a different perspective. That's got nothing to do with skin color. No one's saying that we shouldn't have different people from different backgrounds.

But we do know that that stuff is a serious problem inside the FAA and an uncountable amount of government agencies that are doing important things that are supposed to help Americans. If you're focused on that, you're not focused on finding the best person. You're not focused on finding the best singer. You're not focused on finding the best lyricist.

You're focusing on genitals or skin color or whose genitals you like the best or whatever. whatever intersectional value we're supposed to be caring about this week. When you're caring about that, you're not caring about merit. I thought that was great. You know, Pete Hegg said that in his term. I know Marco Rubio has spoken about it.

I mean, it's funny because they praise DEI so much, Megan, but if DEI hits their industry, a lot of boring white guys like me are going to be winning hip hop awards. And I don't think that's what they want. I'm concerned about the way they look at this.

Yes. Don't look at the red carpet. Take your kids away. It's funny, too, with Lady Gaga, you mentioned trans people are invisible. This terminology is so strange.

And he's failed at it over and over and over again. And that's going to be his fallout. Of course, he's going to be basically the multiple Spider-Man meme where everyone's just pointing fingers at each other. That's what's going to happen in California. They're all going to, I guess, decide to blame everybody. Of course, Donald Trump is going to get his share of the inexplicable blame.

He's not even president of the United States yet, but this is still going to be his fault somehow. You know, that's all out there. And this is something that, as you point out, someone like Ron DeSantis doesn't do. They look at this stuff in advance and try to fix it beforehand. It happens. And Gavin Newsom has had multiple issues like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I mean, if you go back to even his handling of COVID, which was horrid and horrific, but one of the first things he did when he got into office, and this is covered in a Michael Lewis book, not a conservative author by any means, but they had an infectious disease expert who was running their health department for the state government. But the problem with her was she was white and blonde.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And Gavin Newsom wanted a person of color in that role and hired someone who had absolutely no idea what they were doing whatsoever. This is not me talking about this. Again, this is a liberal author who describes the story in detail. And I'm sure I wouldn't have agreed with everything that an infectious disease expert would have recommended for COVID either.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I probably would have my problems with it. But the idea that you would put someone in an important position like that before COVID, not knowing that it was coming, just putting someone in there who looked the way that you wanted them to look, going all out DEI with the lives of Californians, instead of picking someone who was already on staff and already lined up for the job,
The Megyn Kelly Show

Who was an infectious disease expert because she was white and blonde. This sort of stuff has been foundational to Gavin Newsom and the way he has run the state of California. And people shouldn't forget it. This is his fault. This is his fault. It's Karen Bass's fault. And he needs to be held responsible for it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Yeah, you're totally right. And of course, that's why they keep going to climate change, right? I mean, we could talk about there not being any water available in Los Angeles. But I did some deep research, which is looking at a map of Los Angeles. And there's this giant body of water right there called the Pacific Ocean, which there's tons and tons of water right there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
The question is whether it's distributed to the correct places. You need to have it in the right place. to be able to put out the fires. And that's the thing we're criticizing. It's not a lack of water. Of course, they have water. They've had lots of rain. They have these reservoirs for a reason. The fact that they weren't full, I mean, look, this is a real stress. We can't downplay that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We can't say that this is an easy thing to deal with. These fires, even when you're incredibly prepared. They're still very difficult to deal with. And when you have hundreds of homes burning down and having damage to all the connections between them, you're going to have issues with water pressure. But that's secondary to what you can do. I don't think anyone sitting here
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
and saying, hey, you should have been able to stop this fire completely. I don't think anyone's saying that, hey, you need to be able to control the winds of Santa Ana. We're not the ones that are constantly saying we can control the weather to the 10th of the degree. That's them. I think there are going to be natural disasters, and sometimes they will do real damage.

The question is, how much of this is the fault of the government, and how much of it could have been prevented. When you talk about climate change, you might be talking, maybe it is, I mean, I haven't seen much evidence of this, but maybe it is a little bit drier. Maybe there is a slight around the fringes difference when it comes to climate change.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We're talking about less than a degree Celsius over a century, but maybe it did something. However, that's not the main story. If the main story is it burns 998 homes instead of 1,000, We're not celebrating that. We want this to be a situation that's under control.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And at the very least, the people who are there risking their lives, standing there with their fire trucks outside of these homes, watching the flames with the hoses in hand and nothing coming out of that. That is the type of thing that is inexcusable.

Yeah, it's funny how diversity was their most important thing. But as soon as it's going to be beneficial to them to blame a lesbian firefighter, they're going to be blaming her, I'm sure. It's true. Which is really fascinating how that switches around. The DEI doesn't last all the way to accountability. I'm glad to see her out there talking like this.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Like whoever it is, whatever skin color they have, whatever genitals they have, whichever genitals they like, whatever it is, I don't care. I want the fires put out.

And I think it's really important that you have somebody who's at least stepping up publicly now and doing this while this is going on. I will say. I think we need to think a little deeper than that when it comes to what they can do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
If you're having to be in this position and you know your state is letting you down now, don't wait until half of your city is ash before you start saying these things. Call them out publicly beforehand. Let people know. It might cost you your job. It's possible. But you could be saving thousands of lives, hundreds of lives. We don't know. You said that number is 24.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
As you said, Megan, that number is going up. That's going up by a lot. I can't even imagine where it's going to end. It's a terrifying thought. So if you can get out in front of this, if you're one of these positions, you know these things. I might not know this. Megyn Kelly might not know this because we can't follow the inner workings of every police fire department around the country.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But if you make us aware of it, we can talk about it and maybe draw attention to it before these tragedies happen.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
It sure is. It's saying a lot. And I think you're right. I do have my doubts because I've seen California go down roads where I thought they might wake up and they haven't. But I think you're right in this circumstance. And I think it's because it's crossed some weird line for people.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
As I'm watching the footage of Los Angeles burned to the ground, we were showing side-by-side photos of this and Nagasaki. And you can't really tell the difference other than one being black and white and one in color. And I feel like as a person who grew up in the United States, we're a little spoiled here, right? We have, I think, the best country that's ever existed.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And I just look at this country as a place where something like this can't happen. And I realized as I was having that thought, how many times I've had that thought recently. You know, watching COVID happen, I thought that can't possibly happen when Italy was going through those shutdowns. I remember thinking like that could never happen here. And then weeks later, where were we?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Watching the withdrawal from Afghanistan, this can't be happening with America. Watching Maui burn, this can't be happening in America. But these things keep happening in America, Megan, over and over and over again. This, I think, is deeper than Karen Bass's Or even Gavin Newsom, who's, I will agree with you, while the city was burning to the ground, so was Gavin Newsom 2028.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And we can be thankful for that one little slice of this story. But like, this is happening a lot. And we have to make a major change. Thank God Trump is coming into office here in a week. from today. Thank God that's happening. That's a piece of the puzzle, but it is bigger. I don't even think the president of the United States can handle a transition like that.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
It's going to take all of us to wake up and realize that we're going down a really dark road.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
It's jaw-dropping. I mean, it looks like a disaster movie. There's a reason why they always place these disaster movies in LA and Los Angeles, because there's all these landmarks and things that you recognize. And every movie with the rocket, it has a bunch of buildings being knocked down in Los Angeles. This is what it looks like. I mean, it really looks like that in real life.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And it's shocking because... You know, some level of pre-planning could have prevented a lot of this. We saw this with Caruso, who was able to protect the property that he owns, this mall, by hiring private firefighters and bringing them out and protecting a lot of the structures around this facility as well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Exactly, exactly. Now, I don't know. I know you were a lawyer. I don't know if you're a firefighter, Megan, but you seem to understand the concept that water puts them out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Well, you want people to do every role, but you do seem to have nailed the idea that water puts fire out. And that is a really important thing that many in California apparently didn't understand. And like, look, you know, he had a lot of resources, you know, and by the way, this guy could have been mayor. You may have seen the DeSantis approach to this fire if he was. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But, you know, he could have been mayor and he's not. And he has a lot of resources. But I would venture to say, despite his personal wealth, which is significant, he does not have the resources of the state of California at his disposal.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And my guess is that if California actually prioritized this, as opposed to seeing how many lesbian firefighters they could hire and making sure their number one priority was diversity, which is what these fire departments were saying and these cities were saying leading up to this event,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
If your priority, number one, was instead making sure that if a fire began, if the conditions presented themselves where one could be coming, that we had hundreds, thousands of these trucks ready to go at our disposal, number one, let's get this thing fired up so we can go and protect as many of these communities as possible. That's not to say there wouldn't be any damage.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
You know, look, nature has a pretty strong will, and it's not always easy to overcome, but mastery of these situations by human beings is how we've excelled. People used to die at rates 30, 40, 50 times as much from natural disasters 100, 150 years ago.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We've been able to lower that in a significant amount because of mastery of these issues, being able to protect people from weather and all these disasters. And California has this. We all know how to do it. There's plenty of water right there. There's plenty of ways to make this a lot better. to be this. And now we're looking at one of the worst disasters in American history.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Amen. Oh, God.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I mean, it's the same stuff over and over and over again. I mean, I don't know how they could even possibly believe that this would work, especially when I will say maybe with more blame I place on the shoulders of a really annoying white guy who thinks he's incredibly good looking, Gavin Newsom. I mean, I put this centrally on his shoulders. What's that? I don't know what that is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I seem to be blaming people for their competence level, not their skin color, which is the way you're supposed to do it. Though she does seem terrible at this job. And, you know, part of your job in the leadership position.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
She's very, very dumb. And I will say it makes sense that she was on the short list to become vice president under Joe Biden. I mean, California incompetence and stupidity seems to be a prerequisite to be considered for that job. And I don't know if it would have been better or worse if she got that job. Maybe the people of Los Angeles are wishing that she did.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Right. That's exactly it. Especially when you're saying it that way. It's one thing to say, okay, we want to make sure that we're giving everyone an equal chance. Of course, that's the appropriate way to look at anyone who comes in for any job. But to say it's your number one priority just shows that you don't care about...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Your customers, if you're a business saying that, if you're saying our number one thing is equity and diversity, well, what about the hamburgers you're making? Shouldn't that be the number one thing? And when it comes to something like this, which is serious, it's life and death, your number one
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
idea maybe should have been how to get water to the areas that might need it in case of a fire, and maybe have some backup systems and pre-planning done to go against that. And the fact that that is their number one priority is terrifying. And that statement about... I find it insulting in so many ways, this idea that when someone comes to rescue for a fire, they need to look like you.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
First of all, no people in America think that. I don't know anyone. I've never met anyone in my entire life, Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, anybody who has ever thought that way. that they want their doctor to look like them because they can't get good care if they don't look like them, or a firefighter or a police officer. That's not the way that's supposed to work.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
You want someone to come in and do the job competently. You want merit to play into the decision. as to how they got that job. You don't want skin color or genitals to be the factor there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And secondarily, the part of this that's so crazy is when they say, hey, we want someone who looks like the residents to come rescue them is implicit in that, is that everyone who has a certain skin color looks alike. I got news for you. You know, I happen to be a white guy. And, you know, a lot of WWE wrestlers are also white guys. You can tell the difference between us.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
We don't look the same at all. It's really kind of this insulting thing that like, well, I guess all Asians look alike. So we need to send Asians who look like other Asians into the Asian communities. is racist on a whole separate level. So this is just like a bunch of crazy intersectional roads going into this area where all the cars just seem to keep crashing in between.

Look, I don't know. Maybe if it's Gina Carano coming around the corner, I'm going to be okay with it. I don't know. Maybe there's some level of that. I mean, she's pretty strong. She's one that can actually definitely lift me over her head and throw me outside the window if I needed to be thrown out. But I mean, you're right. It needs to be someone who can obviously competently do the role.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
That is overwhelmingly going to be males. I mean, it just is. Especially when you think about some of the people being rescued are big fat guys like me. So you need somebody who's really strong to be able to grab them and carry them outside because, you know, this is just realities. It's the realities we've been talking about forever when it comes to sports.

Oh, the noble prize. The noble prize. The noble prize. And I mean, look, you might say that she's not sacrificing for this, Megan, but she is delaying her Netflix series for this. This is, I mean, she's really invested in really caring about this. I don't know. Maybe she does care. I do think at the end of the day. She doesn't. The priorities seem to be her face on camera. The queen was dying.

Yeah, I cannot disagree with one part of that. And that's sad because there's no... I mean, think of the emptiness of that life, Megan. If that's your job to go around and just think about your image 24 hours a day. I mean, she doesn't even have acting anymore. She's actually picked a profession that somehow is more conceited and more self-indulgent than acting, which is...

Quite the, uh, quite the trick she's been able to pull off. Very difficult to do, but you know, she's now doing this, you know, with, with its constant focus of media attention on her in this weird idea that she's, she's got these like mythical, uh, villains that she seems to be fighting all the time.

I mean, this seems to be their pattern every single time, doesn't it? They've always got some secret thing. I don't know if they got this one from Fusion GPS or not. There's always some secret revelation that's coming around the corner that's going to convince people to not go for someone related to typically Donald Trump. I mean, that's usually where this ends up.

I mean, I've heard, and I heard your show several weeks ago when you were going through the stuff that's gone on in Pete Hegseth's personal life. And you talked to him, I know, at length about it. And he has had his issues there. I think they're going to try to dredge all that stuff up, and they're going to try to bring it into – try to go even further on that front.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
They're going to – I'm sure they can come up with their nameless accusers. This has been something that is a – it's worn well for the Democrats over the years. I don't think it works with the American people anymore, and part of the reason I think it doesn't work – is because of what we were just talking about when it comes to DEI and the way that this stuff plays out.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
For so long, the left has done and worked really, really hard to take the idea of merit out of the process of hiring someone. And is Pete Hagstaff the best man for the job? Well, I mean, that's something that they can determine in these hearings and try to come up with it. Donald Trump thinks he is. He won the election. He should have, within certain guidelines, the rights to pick who he wants.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But like... Coming to this and trying to pick apart not his ability to do this job, but his actions taken with a particular girlfriend. If it's not a crime, and that's a totally different line to me, if that is, of course, true or there's evidence of that, that is a different line.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But if this comes down to what it usually is, which is some faceless person saying something that he did that was wrong, that they can kind of try to manipulate into making him look like the worst person on earth just to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get who he wants because they want to delay him. They want to delay his agenda.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
They want to push it down the line because they look at this timeline, I think, in a A somewhat devious but rational way, which is you've got four years as president, two years into it, you've got an election, which means those last two years may be very difficult to get anything done. That second year of the four year term is an election year.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And a lot of these wormy Republicans who are in purple districts are not going to want to do much of anything. So you've got one year to kill here. And the longer you can draw out things like Pete Hegseth and who knows who else, I'm sure many of his other nominees, they'll do the same thing too. The longer you can draw that out, the shorter the window is for him to actually get anything done.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And what they want to do is slam the brakes on all the things that he's doing to undo the terror they've unleashed on the American people over the past four years. So I think they'll go to any lengths. We saw this with Brett Kavanaugh. They will go to
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
It's it's I certainly believe they want to. The question is, of course, I mean, she because she did come up with they did settle that case. Right. So theoretically, she shouldn't come out, at least if she's standing by that agreement. We all know how that stuff works.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So go ahead. Yep.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And she hasn't come out. I mean, look, I imagine that this is the type of thing she doesn't necessarily want to revisit publicly. You went through the details of it.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And of course, that's all he cares about, right? That's why he tells this harrowing story of the embers landing in his hair, which we know has to be false. Because if an ember hit his hair with the amount of product he has in it, it would set the entire shoreline on fire. It makes no sense. This can't possibly be a true story from Gavin Newsom.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Yeah. If I remember right, too, with Blasey Ford, there was a period where we didn't know who she was. And then we eventually got her name and then but didn't expect her to speak publicly. And then it kept escalating and Democrats kept calling it out. And then there was sort of a splashy announcement of her coming to to testify on this situation.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
So I would not be surprised if they follow that same playbook. You know, I just don't know if it works anymore. I mean, it I don't know. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here, but I do feel like people are starting to look at this stuff from a different lens of the believe all women standard that never made any sense.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And I heard that primarily from women who know other women and know you should not believe all women. Everyone knows somebody who's lied, whether they're a man or a woman. Women are human beings. They lie. They exaggerate. They tell stories that sound good to their husbands when the other story doesn't sound very good to their husband. I don't know if that's the case. I wasn't there.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But reading the materials, looking at all of them, seeing the evidence that we do have, I have a really strong lean that that did not go down in the way that it was – that the accusation sounded at the beginning of it. And at the end of the day, who wants to be questioned about that stuff? Who wants to be questioned on every little detail?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
I would not be surprised if they're trying to get her to come out, but – I mean, the fact that she hasn't already... Especially if she's lying.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Thanks so much for having me, Megan. It was great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
But that is all Gavin Newsom cares about is his image. He's immediately gone into this defensive mode where he's trying to blame everybody else as if he had nothing to do with the idea of having water to put out fires. And as if that was a strange concept, like who could have possibly known that a fire could happen? Who could possibly know that the Santa Ana winds would come back?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
Who could possibly know that we might need water if those two things combine? And that's one of the things when you talk about DeSantis, you know, he wouldn't be interested in that. I mean, I think one of the things that's interesting about DeSantis nationally is a lot of people have this idea that he is always involved in culture war issues. And he does care about those things, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
He does care about wokeness. He does care about righting those wrongs. And that's good in my view. But really the reason why he was so popular – this all happened before COVID he was really popular. Before these culture war issues were widely known because he took as a priority the idea of competent governance.
The Megyn Kelly Show

And being able to defend against what is really the main concern of a lot of people in Florida, which is, God forbid, a hurricane comes. What do we do? There's a massive natural disaster. What do we do? Are we going to be prepared for it or is going to roll out of control like what we're seeing in California? Every single part of Ron DeSantis's job has been to be prepared for those moments.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
The Florida the people of Florida who are residents there, even if they hate his politics on other issues, know he does that stuff well and are willing to put him back in office, whether they agree with him on wokeness or not. Because he's doing the type of – he's doing the types of things that are baseline requirements of any competent person. He is making sure they are prepared.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
He's making sure those trucks are lined up before the storm hits. He knows exactly what he's doing. He explains it to the people, and it gets done properly. Gavin Newsom is the reverse of that.

Megan, she didn't even pre-position herself. She was in Ghana. I mean, she's created a situation where the tragedy is so deep in her own city that Ghana actually looks pretty good to a lot of the residents. And that is quite the heavy lift for someone in America to pull off. It's shocking. I mean, we see what happens when people do prepare.

We've seen private individuals who have been able to protect their property. It's a very difficult thing to do on a larger basis, of course, but you can do it. This is something that was known. And that's the biggest issue here is that every explanation for what has occurred points to these politicians, every single one of them with the exception of climate change.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
And the reason why they're all going down this road of climate change as the excuse for what has occurred is because it's the only thing that doesn't point to them. It's the only thing that instead points to some mom in Ohio in her minivan trucking her kids around to soccer practice. It's her fault. It's not my fault. It's their fault.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Newsom Tries to Salvage Political Career, and Woke Policies Backfire, with Stu Burguiere and Ilya Shapiro | Ep. 981
they can point to anyone else they are in a situation where the only escape route is to blame a zero point nine degree celsius temperature rise over a century that's all they have and so that's the direction they're going because It's not one of these situations where you can blame Donald Trump. Sure, they might say that in passing, and that's usually their catch-all for everything.

But this is a situation where Democrats have run the state. Democrats have run the city forever. They've had occasional Republicans who have been in office who are very, very moderate and honestly big-time environmentalists anyway who have been over there. This has been in control by these hardcore environmentalists this entire time.
