Episode Overview

This episode dives into the upcoming elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and especially New York City, spotlighting anxiety over radical shifts in Democratic politics with the likely mayoral victory of Zoran Mamdani. Glenn and Stu dissect internal party dynamics, the perceived consequences of political extremism, and Democratic Party fractures. The conversation turns international with a chilling exploration of the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada, particularly as it pertains to children, and a disturbing Canadian Supreme Court case about child pornography. The episode closes with a scathingly comedic reading of a book review about Karine Jean-Pierre's memoir, exposing what the hosts describe as the pitfalls of DEI-focused (diversity, equity, and inclusion) politics.

1. New York City Mayoral Election: Cuomo vs. Mamdani

[02:58–11:31]

Key Points:

• Election Landscape: Widespread resignation (and some dread) among the hosts that Zoran Mamdani, a socialist-leaning candidate, is likely to become the next mayor of New York City.
• Corruption vs. Radicalism: The discussion contrasts Andrew Cuomo’s track record of “traditional, corrupt” Democratic politics with Mamdani’s hard-left ideology.
• Why Mamdani’s Winning: Beck suggests voters aren't voting for radical ideology per se, but are tired of entrenched corruption and familiar faces. Mamdani represents the “fresh face” effect—akin to Obama’s “hope and change” narrative in 2008.
• Obama and Legacy Politics: Obama’s endorsement is viewed as a non-factor or even negative among Mamdani’s base, who see him as a “sellout” compared to their “hardliner” values.

Notable Quotes:

• Glenn Beck [05:05]:
  “Mamdani is winning right now, I believe, because ... they’re tired of the corrupt Democratic politician. They’re not tired of Democrats. ... Here comes a fresh face. ... It is the Obama thing where, you know, hope and change.”
• Stu Burguiere [09:02]:
  “My suspicion on Mamdani is he will go even farther than de Blasio did because he's, you know, young and aspirational.”
• Glenn Beck [09:36]:
  “Yeah. It's a devil you know.”

Memorable Moment:

• The hosts joke repeatedly about “communist grocery stores” as shorthand for radical progressive policy proposals.

---

2. The Fracturing Democratic Party & Mainstreaming of Extremism

[11:31–14:00]

Key Points:

• Mainstreaming the Far Left: Both Mamdani supporters and Republicans could benefit from Mamdani being the party’s new face—Mamdani as a symbol of Democratic extremism might alienate moderates and galvanize GOP voters.
• Diminishing Obama/Clinton Legacies: The left’s turn away from Obama and the forecast that his legacy will “age like Bill Clinton”—fading into scandal and irrelevance as the party moves left.

Notable Quote:

• Glenn Beck [11:31]:
  “I think Barack Obama ... as the Democratic Party becomes so radical, I think he’s going to be even worse because he’s going to look like a total sellout.”

---

3. Fundraising, Identity Politics, and A New Kind of PAC

[14:00–16:00]

Key Points:

• Rise of AA PAC: Introduction of the Arab American PAC in Michigan—“wildly Islamist,” according to Beck—which the hosts frame as an echo of AIPAC’s influence but with dramatically different politics.
• Worries of ‘What’s Coming Our Way’: Concern that developments in identity-driven fundraising and activism portend further instability and radicalization in U.S. politics.

---

4. Canada’s MAID Expansion: From Terminal Illness to Child Euthanasia

[16:00–29:00]

Key Points:

• Slippery Slope Reality: Beck delivers a monologue on the expansion of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (assisted suicide) program to include minors as young as 12, warning of “slippery slope” consequences once dismissed as paranoid.
• Comparison to the U.S.: He links it to the “Complete Lives Act” in Obamacare, suggesting a rationing of care based on perceived societal utility.
• Data & Dismay: 2023 saw over 15,000 euthanized in Canada—almost 5% of total Canadian deaths.
• Consent Concerns: Advocacy groups now argue that minors could consent to euthanasia without parental approval, paralleling arguments for youth autonomy in other health matters (abortion, transgender surgeries).

Notable Quotes:

• Glenn Beck [16:19]:
  “Now, the group is calling for minors as young as 12 to be included in government-funded suicide.”
• Glenn Beck [20:50]:
  “In 2023, more than 15,000 people were killed via MAID ... That’s almost 5% of everybody who died in Canada. One in 20 are now being euthanized.”
• Glenn Beck [29:08]:
  “Canada is really in deep trouble. We should pray for the Canadians. ... We cannot lose them to the darkness. And we are losing them rapidly to the darkness.”

---

5. Canadian Supreme Court & Child Pornography Sentencing

[28:00–29:08]

Key Points:

• Light Sentencing: Beck recounts a Supreme Court case where a man who possessed and accessed 531 images and 274 videos of child pornography (mainly of kids aged 3-6) received a reduced sentence due to “mitigating circumstances.”
• Broken Justice System: Beck sees this as symptomatic of a broader moral and legal decline in Canada.

Notable Quote:

• Glenn Beck [29:08]:
  “Twelve months is too much for a guy who had all of that? ... Canada. Have you lost your flipping mind?"

---

6. Book Review: Karine Jean-Pierre’s “Independent”

[29:15–44:21]

Key Points:

• Reading the Scathing Review: Glenn and Stu revel in a verbatim reading of the Free Beacon’s “most scathing review ever,” which mocks the former White House press secretary’s memoir as “the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language.”
• Critique of DEI & Identity Politics: The review and Glenn’s commentary argue that Jean-Pierre’s rise and book are emblematic of DEI-driven promotion of unqualified figures.
• Book's Contradictions: The hosts lampoon Jean-Pierre’s claims of “independence” and lack of “blind loyalty” as hollow, since she will not vote Republican or third party.
• Kamala Harris Parallel: Both hosts liken Jean-Pierre’s struggles to Kamala Harris’s struggles—sustained by DEI, but intellectually and substantively out of depth.

Notable Quotes:

• Free Beacon via Glenn Beck [32:30]:
  “She is now widely viewed, in the words of a reporter who worked with her, as the most incompetent and irrelevant White House press secretary ever.”
• Stu Burguiere [40:38]:
  “She's an idiot. ... I'd love to say it’s more complicated than that, but she's just a vapid moron.”
• Glenn Beck [42:37]:
  “Her and Kamala Harris are exactly the same story. It's DEI in action. ... Once they are asked questions, you see, they can't handle it. They don't have any idea what they're talking about.”

Memorable Moment:

• Glenn’s enthusiasm for the review:
  “I love this review. I want to hug the person who wrote this review.” [36:09]

Conclusion

This episode of The Glenn Beck Program weaves together a dread-laden political forecast, a warning about international cultural shifts, and biting media criticism. The hosts warn that both American politics and Western society are at a tipping point—from the rise of unreformed radicals within mainstream parties to the normalization of child euthanasia and leniency toward egregious crimes. The closing segment skewers the fruits of DEI politics in a segment equal parts cathartic and comedic for the hosts—with the Free Beacon’s review of Karine Jean-Pierre’s “Independent” acting as both satire and cautionary tale.

Now, let's get to work.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, tomorrow is. Tomorrow is election Day. I mean, should we start saying Mayor Mamdani now? It's kind of frightening, isn't it?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, it's a pretty terrifying outcome. Not a surprising one at this point. I guess there hasn't really been much polling or anything that puts this close. There's one poll that kind of showed up and was, you know, somewhat positive for Cuomo. If you think Cuomo being a mayor of a major city is a positive in any way, better. I don't even know. Honestly, I don't even know. I get why people think that Mamdani is going to be worse. He probably will be worse, but I don't think it's a sure thing. I honestly don't even think it's a sure thing. If people forget how bad Andrew Cuomo is. I think there's this. There's this coping mechanism that's going on.

[Glenn Beck]

Does he want communist grocery stores?

[Stu Burguiere]

He probably doesn't want. At least not outwardly saying he wants communist grocery stores. I mean, I guess if that's your line as to how does he believe.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it's not my line. Does he believe. Does he believe that 34,000 cops or less. That's the lowest it's ever been. 34,000 cops or less. Because he says it's really not about a number. Does Cuomo believe in fewer cops on the street?

[Stu Burguiere]

Doesn't matter. He's terrible on that issue and has been terrible on that issue the whole time. It's possible. It's possible. And in this is. This is the one thing you get with Cuomo. This is the upside. This is the upside case. If you're in New York and you really want Cuomo to win, he is so incredibly corrupt, some of his corruption will align with good policy. That is the only thing you get out of Andrew Cuomo. He is no better than. Than Mom Donnie on most of these issues. But he, for example, will have a guy who is in some form of corruption, will be helping him out. That will also help out the business sector. Right? Like, there's things like that that align with something that you might say is helpful to New York City.

[Glenn Beck]

But see, this is why Mamdani is winning. Mamdani is winning right now, I believe, because it's not about the Islamic thing. It's not about the you socialist thing. That's probably half of his support, maybe, maybe three quarters. But that's not what pushes him over the top. What pushes him over the top is the, the other Democrat. They're not going to vote for a Republican. The other Democrat is just so horrible and, and so traditional, corrupt that they're tired of that. They're tired of the corrupt Democratic politician. They're tired of that. They're not tired of Democrats. They're tired of the Tony ism and all of that. And so here comes a fresh face. Nobody really knows who he is. It's. I mean, it is the Obama thing where, you know, hope and change.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, they, they, they, they said that Obama. Do we have that, that clip? They were saying that. That Obama is very much, you know, the, the new or the old school. Mom Donnie. No, no, he's really not. And Obama pledged his support from mom Donnie. And I would think that mom Donnie would be like, oh, okay, okay. No, thank you. No, thank you. Not because they don't agree on things, but because I think that Mamdani's voters will look at Obama and say, you had your turn, buddy. You, you believe in the same things. You know, the, the communist grocery stores, you know, the no cops thing, you know, hate. You believe all of those things. You believe all, but you didn't do any of them. Now Obama looks at it and says, yes, but I move the ball forward. That's as far as I could go. Progress, you know, progressive. That's as far as I could go. But he is not accepted by the real, you know, zealots, the real changers of the universe. He was too progressive, where now it's time for the real, the hardliners to come in. And that's what I think Mamdani is. And I think Barack Obama is viewed by the Mamdani supporters, the real Mamdani supporters, as a total sellout. Would you agree with that or not?

[Stu Burguiere]

Some. I think that's. I think that's true. I think generally speaking, Democrats are not like that. I think generally speaking, Democrats like Obama and they think.

[Glenn Beck]

While Democrats. I'm not talking about Democrats.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're talking about Mamdani type supporters. Like real Mamdani ites. Yeah, those people do. See, they saw, they saw the result in 2016 as a part result of not Going far enough. They complained about Joe Biden for not going far enough. Of course that's what they want. And that's the big thing, Glenn. Really the difference when you look at this election in New York is if Mahdani gets elected, he could go one of two ways. We've seen this happen before. He could be the communist we know he is at his heart. Right? He could try to do all of these things he's promising and really screw up the city to no end. Probably the best case scenario for him is he gets in there, he gets thwarted at times by the corrupt Democrats that are around him that can stop him. He does not have unlimited power as the mayor, at least not yet. We saw this with Bill de Blasio, right? Bill de Blasio was just as dedicated a communist as Zoran Mamdani is. And his reign as mayor was really bad. It did not destroy the country. It was really bad for the city. It was a really bad time for the city. And they paid a lot for the things that he did. This is a guy who went on vacation to the Soviet Union, right? Like, this is not a guy who was not dedicated to the cause.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Mamdani. My suspicion on Mamdani is he will go even farther than de Blasio did because he's, you know, young and aspirational. Right. Like, I think de Blasio had been, you know, knocked down for a while and felt he had to moderate some of those views to get elected. It's not really what. What the case is here with Mamdani. So I. I'd be very terrified of him if I were in the city. I would probably begrudgingly be hoping that Cuomo somehow won this. Just because you at least have an idea what you're getting, right?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. It's a devil you know.

[Stu Burguiere]

The devil you know. He's gonna be terrible. He's going to be incredibly corrupt. He will probably commit, let's say, two to three crimes a day. But that is probably, possibly much better than what you're gonna get out of Mamdani. And whatever reason the city has moved now to a place where they won't even consider a guy who will do a good job. That's not even part of their consideration. They're not even looking at Curtis Lewa, who would actually be fine as mayor and actually do a good job for the city.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I find it interesting. How do you think, Mom, Donnie is going to internally take the suggestion that, hey, I'd love to be, you know, part of your council? I Love to be a sounding board for you. I mean, he might like it outwardly, but I don't think that went with his real supporters and his real team that, you know, want the communist grocery stores and everything. I can't imagine that went over well. Yeah, I think, like, making fun of it kind of bad internally, I think.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. Behind the closed doors. Yes. I think there's two ways to look at it. And I think probably people in his inner orbit looked at it both ways, which is one. You believe this guy? You know, he wasn't early with us.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, he let us all down when he was president. He didn't go far enough. This is pathetic. And now he's trying to, you know, get in our good graces. I do think a smarter analysis of this, however, on their side is if we can get him to embrace us, it moves us to the mainstream of the party.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's funny. I think both Mamdani and the entire Republican Party are going to be rooting for Mamdani to be the face of the Democratic Party. That's gonna happen real soon. The Democrats don't want that. The Chuck Schumers of the world don't want that. But every Republican should be doing everything they can to make sure people understand the future of the Democratic Party is Mamdani.

[Glenn Beck]

It's interesting to me that you would say, because I think you're right, that he would say, hey, this would mainstream us a little bit more, make us look a little more acceptable for the party. Although I think Barack Obama's legacy is not as solid as it is would have been. I think he's going to age like Bill Clinton aged where Bill Clinton was popular for a while, and then as we got farther, farther away from it, you're just like, that guy was really corrupt and really bad. I mean, he was. He was really not good. I can't believe people still like him and not really in with the Democratic Party. And I think. I think Barack Obama, because the Democratic Party is becoming so radical, I think he's going to be even worse because he's going to look like a total sellout. A guy who at least his wife believed it. And he said he believed it, but he never really got down and did it. And they will not accept the, hey, he moved the ball as far as he could. They won't accept that. And I think they will look at him at least internally, just like we would look at George W. Bush coming in, you know, in late 2024, and saying, you know what? I'D love to be an advisor for Donald Trump. You would be like, I don't think so. I don't think so. And there might be some that would argue, hey, bring him in. Let's just bring him in. You know, let's go ahead. Cause it'll, it'll help, you know, bring the, you know, the rest of the party in and it will widen the tent. But don't listen to him, for the love of Pete, don't listen to him. And the hardcore Trump supporters. I would have been like, joe, don't, don't, don't, don't bring him in. And I just have that feeling that that's what's coming. But, but we'll see, we'll see how they, they do it. There's, there's also something really disturbing that is happening with the Democratic Party and the, the fundraisers that are going, going on, especially in Michigan. There is, you know, you've heard of aipac, but have you heard of AA pac? It's the Arab American Pacific. It's exactly like the American Israeli pack, except it's the America, it's the Arab first Arab American pack and that interesting American Israeli and Arab American pack. And this thing is wildly, wildly Islamist, in my opinion. And I want to explain what is happening in Michigan and show you the, show you the beginning of, of what is coming our way quickly coming our way here in America. Listen, when you're, you know, fine and healthy, it's easy to take medicine for granted. You know, you catch a cold, you call the doctor, you go pick up the prescription. It's simple. But what happens if the supply lines slow down for a while, your local pharmacy runs out of what you need, or a storm hits, the power goes out, you're stuck at home. You can't get to, you know, the doctor or to the pharmacy or, you know, Stu did. He has a Jace case and he. It wasn't thinking. I wouldn't have thought it either. Bring it on vacation with you. You just forget those things. Until he showed up in a strange city, kids got sick in the middle of the night, and he's driving around trying to find an open Pharmacy at 2:00 in the morning. Whether it's antibiotics for infection or daily medications you rely on, Jace gives you something most people don't have, and that's real peace of mind. Because health emergencies, when they happen, they happen. And Jace will make sure that you're ready when they do happen. So go to jace.comjace.com Enter the promo code.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Where do I even begin? Well, let's start with assisted suicide in Canada. It has been legal now in Canada for over a decade and they are now pushing to expand it into children maid in Canada. Medical assistance in dying maid started back in 2016 and when they started it, we said, slippery slope. You don't want to start this. They said, that's ridiculous. How dare you. It's only for the people who can reasonably foresee the end of their life and they have, you know, terminal illness and we're not going to kill anybody. And I reminded you at the time of the Complete Lives act that we have that once medical assistance becomes too difficult to procure, when it becomes too expensive for the government, well, then you have to start picking and choosing who lives and dies. And it's called the Complete Lives Act. It was part of the Obamacare. Look it up. Complete Lives Act. Look it up. It is terrifying. It's exactly what is happening in Canada now. They're calling it compassion. I don't think it's compassion at all. In 2016, anybody who could foresee the end of their life, it was imminent, it was terminal illness and they were in so much pain. You were eligible to go to the doctor. There had to be three doctors, which was big of them. That's exactly the number the Nazis used. Three doctors that would review your case and sign off. Okay. Now the group is calling for minors as young as 12 to be included in government funded suicide. Now, the group that is really pushing this is called Dying with Dignity Canada and it recommends that minors be included into the program. Go as far as to suggest that 16 and 17 year olds shouldn't even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit the criteria. Okay, so here's what this is what they're actually saying. This is part of their pamphlet. We agree that existing eligibility requirement that persons have a grievous and irredeemable medical condition should apply to mature minors. We acknowledge Canadian society will likely expect a minimum age for mature minors in the legislation, even though the emphasis at common law is that capacity and maturity is not a chronological age. For this reason, we ask Parliament to amend the existing age requirement of 18 to extend it to persons at least 12 years old of age and capable of making decisions with respect to their health as adults. There should be a presumption of capacity for these minors. So in other words, they're saying, yeah, but I mean, yeah, I mean, some people are stupid. I mean, this is exactly what Kamala Harris is saying. She said over the weekend that, you know, you're 16 years old, you should be able to vote. Even though she doesn't mean that. She, that's a political thing. She, she said back when she was the attorney general for California, she said 16 and 17 year olds are stupid. She said their brains aren't fully formed, et cetera, et cetera. And the last thing we can do is have people vote at that age. They're just, they're stupid. Those were her words. Kind of like this now. I mean, yeah, but you know at 12, what's best for you? Did you know at 12 what was best for you? Because I didn't. So now maturity is the thing that they're looking for. The MAID program, as I said, started in 2016. The people whose natural death was reasonably foreseeable were eligible in 99% of cases. A medical professional administers a substance that causes a person, person's death, technically euthanasia. In other cases, people are going to be provided a substance to self administer to cause their own death, which is defined as assisted suicide. Increasing number of people now in Canada are being euthanized every year. 2023 data, and it's growing every year. But let's go back to 2023. More than 15,000 people were killed via MAID. 15,000 people were euthanized by the government. Put that into perspective. That's almost 5% of everybody who died in Canada. One in 20 are now being euthanized in Canada. Does that sound like a society that's a culture of death or a culture of life? Advocates for including so called mature minors in the MAID program argue that children need more autonomy over their health care. Notes that minors can already consent or refuse certain medical treatments. Oh, oh, so you mean like abortion? Okay, so they can, they can, they can have sex chain surgery, which is very expensive. Or they could have, or they could have abortions. Why not give them the ability to commit suicide too? Okay, well, maybe we should reexamine the other two. You know, you know, 12 year olds can know when they're in pain and pain that they just can't take anymore. Who knows what their suffering is better than the sufferer. One of the people that was actually for MAID back in the day says, I have to tell you, I would a few years ago. I'm quoting a few years ago. I would have said no. I don't think Canadian regime is going to go that far to have mature minors and adolescents avail themselves to euthanasia. We would never go that far. Now, I'm sad to say. I wouldn't put it past them. This is already happening. Parents will leave the room. They're 16, 17 year old. They'll leave the hospital room, go. This is an exact, this is a real example. They left to go have lunch. The cafeteria doctor walked in, talked to the kid without the parents. When the parents got back, she had already signed the thing that said, kill me. Can you imagine that? Did you see up in Canada how they're just, they're just not providing health care anymore because they can't. This is what happened. This is the complete lives system. What the complete live system is. Imagine like a bell curve. And the bell curve, the top of it is at about 25 to 30 years old. Okay? That's the very height on one side is birth. And it's almost a flat line until it gets to about seven and then it starts to tick up slowly. And then about 16, it starts going up in this bell curve from 16, peaks at about 30, maybe 35, then starts to come down and is flatlined at about 55 or 60. Okay, what that is, is the flatline part is you get no medical care because we can't afford it. There's a crisis of some sort. We can't afford it anymore. But if you're in your prime earning years where you can put, when you can, you know, plant and harvest more potatoes than you're taking out, well, then we'll give you healthcare. But at 7, you're not really helping out society. You're just costing us money. If you're just born, you're costing us all kinds of money. You can't do anything for at least 10 years. At 16, you're starting to be there. We can, we can at least judge are you going to be a help or a hindrance to society. But by the time you have 55 or 60 years old, you're done. You're really done. Why should we keep you alive any longer? That is literally the complete life system and it is part of Obamacare. Nobody would listen when we said this in 2008. It's part of Obamacare. And they said, don't worry, it only kicks in if there's shortages. Well, what kind of shortages could there be? Well, a shortage of medication. That'll never happen. We're America. Oh, okay. All right. How about shortages of money? How about shortages of insurance? How about shortages of doctors? How about shortages of nurses? When I brought this up in 2008, 9. I mean, I was just lambasted for. This is all crazy, crazy talk. It'll never happen. I'm telling you right now, it is going to come. It's already in Canada. Don't believe this compassion bullcrap. It's not about compassion. It's about a socialist system of Medicare that cannot sustain itself. Their. Their compassionate socialized medicine is out of money. It can't sustain itself. And so they're cutting people off and they're, they're, they're putting this really happy face on with compassion. But I'm sorry, when you're killing 1/20 of the public, every 20 people, one of them kills themselves. There's a problem with that. There's a real problem. You really think that's the best solution? Okay. All right. Well, can I look at the rest of your society? Let me see the health of the rest of your society. Let me take you to the Supreme Court in Canada. What they just decided on a completely different topic. They just had in their Supreme Court, there was a guy who had child porn, and he got a year sentence. A year sentence. And he contested. He went to the Supreme Court because that was the. That was the minimum sentence he could get. Now, listen to the way this, Listen, the way this was written. This was. This is actually from the, the case. He pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography. Okay, so he accessed child pornography and then he kept it in his possession. One count. He also admitted to that one count. He had 475 files, including 317 images of children in child porn. Of those images, 90% were of young girls between 3 and 6 years of age. Okay, I'm not going to tell you. It's in the court filing. I'm not going to tell you what those pictures, the vile, disgusting evil that those pictures were showing of those young girls there's no way to even describe is just absolutely evil. So he, he accessed these files for 13 months, okay? He. He possessed them for 18 months, okay? But he's a former soldier and he's 28 years old, and he had no criminal record at the time of the sentencing decision, and he cooperated with the authorities, you know, and he complied with their strict release conditions, you know, and so he had. Yeah, okay, he had one count, 531 images, 274 videos of child pornography. It is. The videos were the actual abuse of these children. Supreme Court said, you know what, it didn't take into consideration that meaning minimum sentence. It didn't take into consideration, you know, what a good guy he really is. And so they overturned it. 12 months. 12 months. I'm, I'm sorry, Canada. Have you lost your flipping mind? 12 months is too much for a guy who had all of that. I don't care if he was a soldier. I don't care if he was, you know, soldier of the war. I don't care what he did. You had that and you were cool with it. And they're, what they're saying is, you know, if somebody is sent something, you know, a picture of a 17 year old girl who's underage and she's naked and it's, you sent it, you didn't request it. You could be arrested and get, you know, 12 months for that. Well, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's not the same. I didn't request that. That was just sent to me. This wasn't just sent to the guy. It was all two, two, two counts. Two counts. One was possession and one was distribution. That's me then taking that picture of that naked girl and then saying, hey, you want to see this?

[Stu Burguiere]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

And again, one picture of a 17 year old. Bad. Um. 317 images, 2, 475 files. 274 videos. I don't know, I don't know. I don't think it's the same as that. One picture sent by, you know, some 19 year old to another 19 year old of a 17 year old. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Canada is really in deep trouble. We should pray for the Canadians. We can't have this on our border. I mean, what, what, what does that mean? I wish Donald Trump had a little more compassion for, for the Canadian. I actually, I think he does. I think he was just. I don't know. I don't know. But please have compassion for the Canadians. They're our friends, they're our brothers across the border. And we cannot lose them to the darkness. And we are losing them rapidly to the darkness. Rapidly. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. I don't think I've ever read a book review word for word on the air before. And I'm not sure I've ever even read a book review on the air before more than a paragraph. But this book review is so good, it must be read verbatim. Book so bad, it has shattered liberals faith in dei. It is a Free Beacon Review of Independent A Look Inside a Broken White House Outside the Party Lines by Karine Jean Pierre. You ready? This is stu. You're going to love this. I can't wait. Karine Jean Pierre cannot stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House press secretary became the highest ranking openly queer French born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden. She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration and it is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language. This is not hyperbole, it is a especially vacuous genre and highly competitive to be sure. But imagine writing a book so bad it could shame Democrats and liberals into second guessing their cult like devotion to dei. That is exactly what Jean Pierre has done with her book Independent. In 2022, Jean Pierre's promotion to white House Press Secretary was hailed by Democrats and journalists, where to the extent there's a difference as a triumph for diversity and representation, she is now widely view, in the words of a reporter who worked with her, as the most incompetent and irrelevant White House press secretary ever. Former colleagues now describe her as ineffectual, unprepared and kind of dumb. Jean Pierre's book tour, if you can call it that, has been now described as a car crash and non stop cringe. She fumbles her way through interviews, repeatedly invoking her lived experience as a trailblazing black woman opally gay pioneer, the same people who pioneered her historic promotion and the first to denounce her critics as bigots are rolling their eyes every time she falls back on identity politics instead of actually answering a question. She reinforces the worst stereotype about Democrats, says a former White House colleague, her egregious performance in an interview with the New Yorker. One Democratic strategist likened it to Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson fighting a baby, Jean Pierre told the New Yorker. The broken White House in reference to the subtitle, Remember it's independent A look inside a broken White House outside the party lines. Okay, so she's in the interview with the reporter from the New Yorker. The broken White House referenced in the subtitle, she said, is actually a reference to Donald Trump's White House, not the one that she was writing about or everyone assumed she was writing about. It's a strange thing to lie about something a clueless person might blurt out when they get flustered. But in the author's defense, even a semi talented communicator could struggle to defend this drivel. Readers may be surprised to learn that Jean Pierre became a professional spokesperson because she was even less capable in a different field. I wish I would have known this. Did you know this? Her parents. Her parents wanted her to become a doctor. Oh, my God, Imagine. But she flunked the medical school entrance exam. So she switched gears and entered the Ivy League to Democratic Party pipeline, where talent barely matters when there's a history. When there's history to be made with every promotion. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but Jean Pierre implies all of her jobs since have been plagued by disloyal colleagues who question her competence. Love. I love that. I love that at some point you do. If this is your experience, time after time after time, eventually you do have to ask. Maybe it's me. And I know this from experience because that was my experience. I was so egotistical and full of myself when I was in my 20s that I couldn't work with anybody because they're all incompatible, they're all incompetent, they're all whatever, you know? No, Glenn, you're an ass. That's what I finally came to the conclusion. Why does everybody say I'm an ass? Well, probably because I was an ass. That's why. Independent. Her book, which is Both mercifully brief, 172 pages, and intolerably long.

[Stu Burguiere]

172 pages. I had no idea.

[Glenn Beck]

172 pages.

[Stu Burguiere]

That is a great description of it too, because that is amazingly short for the stuff she's talking about.

[Glenn Beck]

Bathroom reader. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

But then a bathroom reader, I'd imagine reading it. It must feel eternal.

[Glenn Beck]

Intolerably long. I love this review. I want to hug the person who wrote this review. Jean Pierre claims she never noticed Biden's cognitive decline, despite meeting with him at least once a day for two and a half years. Her observations reflect an alarming disconnect with reality. She denounces the media for grilling the Democrats and softballing the Republicans. She recounts her disbelief when, days after that one, quoting one wobbly debate where Biden bragged about beating Medicare, blah, blah, blah. Not a single. I'm quoting from the book where Biden bragged about beating Medicare, blah, blah, blah. Not a single reporter asked a question about his landmark efforts to bring about social justice. End quote. Oh. Like her rambling press briefings, Jean Pierre's prose is riddled with contradictions that boggle the mind. Democrats should have been more loyal to Biden. That's why she left the party. She's an independent now. Because no entity deserves blind loyalty. I want you to remember that. No entity deserves blind loyalty. Multiple interviewers have noted the discrepancy. Pierre, who holds a master's degree from Columbia University, doesn't follow.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, Columbia University has to gotta be ashamed of themselves for that. I mean, I understand she didn't earn it and they just handed it to her. I get it. But like, that is a disgrace. How could you act as if she could graduate something? That is a completely ridiculous concept.

[Glenn Beck]

Columbia University hosted Nazis to speak to the campus in the 1930s and then sheltered Nazis in the. In the, you know, in the campus and as teachers. I mean, what if you're not embarrassed by that crap? What? You're embarrassed by her? Not a chance. Not a chance. For obvious reasons, she declines to note that Barack Obama was one of the party leaders most skeptical of Harris. She said she never really believed that Kamala Harris could win. But any Democrat who argued with her or suggested Harris should compete for the nomination was insulting all black women. It's easy to see why Democrats are so annoyed. Her absurd retelling of the 2024 election notwithstanding, Jean Pierre has no useful suggestions to offer. They should. This is from her book. Democrats should think creatively, move nimbly, and plan strategically in pursuit of bolder solutions. Nothing Empathy key. Stop supporting the candidates who are elected, instead backing the inspirational ones. Democrats should look. Democrats should look to the Grammy Awards for inspiration because we all know how popular the Grammy Awards are. Watching all those Hollywood millionaires denouncing Trump reminded me that monumental change was possible. One of Jean Pierre's boldest ideas, something Democrats should definitely consider, is restarting the vigorous conversation about being anti racist. Alas, Jean Pierre is no longer a Democrat now. Remember, she said no blind loyalty. Right, no blind loyalty. She's no longer a Democrat because she does not believe in blind loyalty. Okay, all right. She says. She explains in the pages that follow. In so many words, she explains that leaving the party was a tantrum like plea for attention. A deeply personal quest for, quote, new ways to be acknowledged. That's a quote. Her leaving the party was a quest for new ways to be acknowledged. And it's also about self care. Now she's left the party because nobody gets blind loyalty. But she'll never vote for a Republican or even a third party candidate.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, then what?

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, wait. If you'll rule those two out, I won't vote for a third party and I won't vote for Republican. But I'm going to vote. But they don't get my blind loyalty.

[Stu Burguiere]

She's an idiot. It's just. I mean, really, I'd love to say it's more complicated than that, but she's just a vapid moron.

[Glenn Beck]

Moron. Moron. Jean Pierre urges others to follow suit, to proclaim their independence and follow her. Their own political compass. She doesn't have a political compass. What is she saying? She's still going to vote the same way? Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's like.

[Glenn Beck]

It's an incredibly brave thing to do. She says it's so important to carry so to this. It's so important to carry around a talisman to remind you of the values you. You hold. Like a biography of a poet who spoke to a better world and spoke a better world into existence. Yeah, I'm going to. I'm walking around all the time with a. With an old book of poetry or a pebble from a beach where you once dreamed and felt free. She says she hopes the book will provoke. Provoke a more nuanced political conversation. It certainly has provoked a conversation shockingly nuanced in its context of the Democratic Party politics. It's just not the one she was expecting. That is fantastic.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's a great review. I fear it's. They maybe went a little light on her, honestly.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it's only 172 pages.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. So what can you do? I will say the part that's most frustrating about that is talking about the interview she's done in this book tour, which have been among the worst interviews I've ever seen with someone who's supposed to have an operating brain inside their skull. And what's frustrating about that is all of those moments were readily available to every media member the entire time she was White House press secretary. If any of them asked her any difficult questions the entire time she worked there, they would have learned all of this stuff before all of it. Now they find it okay to actually press her on these issues because they don't care about her book sales. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

And the same thing. I mean, look at what's happening. I mean, her and Kamala Harris are exactly the same story. It's DEI in action. They're exactly the same story. Both vapid. One more so than other. One is vapid and I believe, filled with so much helium that she could float away to the sun. But the same kind of stuff is happening with Kamala. Once they are asked questions, you see, they can't handle it. They don't have any idea what they're talking about.

[Stu Burguiere]

I will say, yes, I think that's true. I think there's a comparison to be made there. I do think Kamala has proven herself to be an able backroom warrior. She is in multiple ways. Some of which the back room is. There's a bed in it. And then other ways. It's also that she is legitimately good, and I mean this sincerely, legitimately good at haranguing a bunch of donors to her side in a Democratic scuffle. She has done that multiple times throughout her career behind closed doors to be able to kind of pressure and harangue people into donating to her, into supporting her over other Democrats. She really. I mean, the way she just wrestled. I mean, Barack Obama, with his 96% approval rating among Democrats, came out and said, I can't wait to see what process we have to determine what the next nominee will be.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

And in hours, she had the nomination. Like, she is legitimately good at that one thing, which is unlike Japier, who's legitimately good at nothing.

[Glenn Beck]

I understand when you're talking about the gravity or the pull of the individual in comparison to the Pluto, like, gravity of Jean Pierre. Okay, yes, she does make Kamala Harris look like the sun. Okay, I do understand that. But comparatively speaking, they are. They are both in a different universe entirely.
