If Obamacare Is Diet Mr. Pibb, What Soda Is Obamacare Lite?

Repealing Obamacare has been a rallying cry for Republicans since 2009, but the GOP's replacement bill --- Obamacare Lite --- is just a watered-down version of its predecessor. Thursday on radio, Glenn and his co-hosts did a comparative analysis of Obamacare, the new bill and various brands of soda.

Enjoy the complimentary clip or read the transcript for details.

GLENN: Hello, America. Welcome to the program. I would like you to call in right now and just answer this one question: How do you want the Republicans to vote today on health care? Repeal it or reject it? Which one?

STU: Well, is that the choice? Repeal, what?

PAT: It's vote for the bill or don't vote for it. Yeah.

GLENN: Yeah, take the Trumpcare.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And vote for what's -- what you have. Or, you know, negotiate until the last minute, but still take this. Or reject it.

PAT: And if Obamacare was Coke, this is Coke Zero. Right? It's just -- it's Obamacare without caffeine. That's all it is.

STU: Well, Coke Zero has no calories. It's a delicious product.

JEFFY: I love Coke Zero.

STU: So I would not -- the free market is Coke Zero.

PAT: All right. It's tab --

STU: No, Tab is delicious.

PAT: Tab is not delicious.

STU: I have some at my house. They still make it, by the way.

JEFFY: What number should I call, Glenn?

GLENN: 888-727-BECK, Jeffy.

STU: There's actually a weird -- there's a Coke -- there's a product called Coke Life. Have you ever had it?

GLENN: Yes. Yes. It's Stevia.

PAT: What does it do? It gives you life?

STU: Well, sort of. It has -- instead of 0 calories -- a can of Coke is 150 calories. A can of Coke Zero is 0 calories. A can of Coke Life I think is 70 or 90 categories. Maybe 60. Something like that. It's an in between. And you think to yourself, well, why would I --

PAT: What?

STU: Why not have the real one or have the one where you're saying, okay, maybe I'll sacrifice a little taste or whatever and have 0 calories. Why would you go with the one that has 60 or 70 calories?

PAT: And this is what we're saying about this stupid bill.

STU: We got that. There's a great soda reference here.

GLENN: I don't know if we've really found it. Because we're starting with Coke.

This is like starting with MrPibb. You got to start with MrPibb.

PAT: Yeah, you have to start with something bad.

GLENN: You have to start with Diet MrPibb.

STU: Pibb Zero, is that what you're talking about?

GLENN: Yeah. You got to start with Diet MrPibb.

PAT: You actually have to start with a glass urine.

GLENN: And then work up to, what? Urine from the most healthy person you can find.

(laughter)

It's still urine, gang.

PAT: Yeah, it is.

JEFFY: It's healthy, though.

Dan Bongino details behind-the-scenes 'SMEAR' against Parler

Dan Bongino, host of The Dan Bongino Show, is an investor in Parler — the social media platform that actually VALUES free speech. Parler was attacked by Big Tech — namely Amazon, Apple, and Google — earlier this week, but Bongino says the company isn't giving up without a fight. In fact, he says, he's willing to go bankrupt over this one. Dan details what he calls a "smear" campaign behind the scenes, and how he believes we can move forward from Big Tech's control.

YOU will be RESPONSIBLE for loss of rights if you riot

A new poster is circulating social media, calling for a record-breaking armed protest to take place across America on Inauguration Day. Here's Glenn's advice for those considering attendance: DON'T GO. No matter who is responsible for the poster or for any possible future chaos that may take place, the far left and the media WILL blame Trump supporters regardless of the facts. And because of that, if you attend and partake in rioting, you WILL be responsible for the loss of our rights that will come as a result. Don't go. But, listen to this clip to find out what Glenn thinks you SHOULD do on Inauguration Day instead…

Parler exec speaks out against ‘unfair’ Big Tech throttle

Big Tech isn't making it easy for organizations outside of the left's coalition to survive. Amy Peikoff is the Chief Policy Officer for Parler — the social media platform now throttled by Amazon, Apple, and Google. She joins Glenn to discuss the recent moves made against Parler and how the company is fighting to move forward: "We're doing everything we can to save civil discourse on the Internet. I promise: We're on it."

Can Frustrated Conservatives Learn from the Tea Party? | Matt Kibbe | Ep 92

The nation was shocked as the "Save America" rally in Washington, D.C., devolved into a siege of the U.S. Capitol. The day after, as heads were still spinning, Glenn sits down with Matt Kibbe, host of BlazeTV's "Kibbe on Liberty," to look at what led to this: Woke authoritarianism is in power, lockdowns are unending, and the Left has finally found out how to weaponize fear. The media is all too happy to watch the country burn, as long as the Left is holding the torch. But Glenn and Matt remember the lessons learned from the Tea Party, Martin Luther King Jr., and other movements that found success through peace. Conservatives and libertarians must find a path forward so we have more 9-12 marches, fewer stormings of the Capitol, and real change from those who believe they rule over us.
