Democrats Need To Wake Up

“I can’t believe I’m hearing you say this,” says Ana Kasparian, producer and host of “The Young Turks.” Although she and Glenn Beck have always represented opposite sides of the political aisle, in this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” they find a surprisingly wide array of topics to agree on.

They agree that the “mainstream media plays defense for the Democrat Party” and that we must ban government stock trading. Although she once bought the mainstream narrative, Ana woke up to the reality of the border crisis when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started busing migrants to blue cities, and she recognizes there is a “problem with Biden neglecting the border.”

Glenn admits that the Democrats were right about Big Pharma, he was “wrong about the Iraq War,” and that he, like Ana, is totally flabbergasted by the pro-war Democrats and Kamala Harris welcoming an endorsement by Dick Cheney.

The pair debate the limits of free speech, states’ rights, abortion, federal minimum wage, and unionized workers before strategizing how to get money and corporate interests out of politics. Ana reveals that she was not “surprised on election night at all,” and, even though her audience hates when she says so, “Trump is funny.”

Both Glenn and Ana hope these kinds of conversations can begin to heal our national division and help us come together to create a more perfect union.

Just Do The Math!

U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, a Democrat from California, defends her proposal to raise the minimum wage to $50 an hour —  up from the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

Lee couldn’t explain how small businesses could survive such a hefty increase, but argued, “Just do the math. Of course. we have national minimum wages that we need to raise to a living wage. We’re talking about $20, $25 — fine. But I have got to be focused on what California needs and what the affordability factor is when we calculate this wage.”

Obviously, Lee isn’t a rocket scientist — just another flaming leftist from a burned-out state, California, that now has an open U.S. Senate seat. Lee is running for that seat, along with several other Democrats.

Her rivals include U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff. He’s the stiff that hung around the luxurious Standard Hotel, and also, by the way, exchanged more than 250 emails with Jeffrey Epstein! So the Democrats have some real “solid” candidates in La-La Land! Here’s more from Memology 101.
