Dear Kim Jong-un, You've Got to Get Yourself a Snappy Uniform

Sometimes a little levity is needed --- even at the threat of nuclear war. Over the weekend, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un paraded his military in a show of force.

“If the USA is planning a military attack against us we will react with a nuclear pre-emptive strike by our own style and method,” Jong-un said.

The parade featured a failed missile launch and an unusually dressed leader.

"Kim Jong-un was wearing an actual suit like we would wear in the West," Co-host Pat Gray said Tuesday on The Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn offered a different description.

"No, it was like a Pavarotti jacket for thinner people," he said. "I mean, if you're going to be a dictator, you've got to get yourself a snappy uniform."

GLENN: Yeah. I know. I think anybody who has the military parades -- if you have -- this is a sign that you just need to be annihilated as a -- as a government: If you have military parades, big pictures of your leaders on the sides of buildings, if your troops march in goose step, I mean, that's like -- I mean, that's a sign that you're --

STU: Right.

PAT: The higher you goose step, the more evil you are.

GLENN: The more evil you are.

PAT: That's a good rule of thumb.

GLENN: I saw the parade over the weekend, and they're all goose-stepping. And I'm like, clearly evil. These people should all be wiped out.

PAT: Yeah. And then for the first time ever, that I've ever seen, Kim Jong-un was wearing an actual suit like we would wear in the West.

GLENN: No. No.

PAT: A tie and jacket. It was pretty close.

GLENN: No, it was like a Pavarotti jacket for thinner people.

(chuckling)

PAT: Yes. And that's not a good look for him.

GLENN: No, it's not. But his pants are like --

JEFFY: They're giant navy bell bottoms or something.

GLENN: They're not bell bottoms. If you look at them -- they're like the size of the waste at the top of the thigh all the way down.

JEFFY: All the way down. Yeah.

GLENN: It's bizarre. And everything on him looks like, you need a tailor. You don't have a tailor?

PAT: Well, he's got such a weird body shape that I think it's tough to fit it with clothes.

STU: Yeah, I think that's a good --

JEFFY: But he's the rural, right?

PAT: Yeah, I know.

GLENN: Who was it I heard the other day that said he's -- I think it was one of you guys that say he's kind of in between of, you know, being fat and giving up.

JEFFY: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

PAT: He does.

STU: Well, given his life circumstances, right? Because like Jeffy, for example, might be a little overweight.

PAT: Overweight. Uh-huh.

STU: However, he's limited by his circumstances.

JEFFY: Well, and I'm athletically overweight, unlike Kim Jong-un.

STU: No.

PAT: Yeah, except for no.

STU: But he's limited by his circumstances in that we don't pay him a salary. He doesn't have any income.

PAT: Right. There's not much he can do.

STU: He's basically homeless.

GLENN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the opposite. That's what makes you work out.

If you're Kim Jong-un and everybody has to say, oh, dear leader, you are smoking hot --

PAT: You are sexy.

GLENN: You are sexy. Then why work out?

STU: But this is my point. There's nothing in Kim Jong-un's life that would lead him to be in shape. Right?

GLENN: Oh, so you're saying he should be fatter?

STU: I think he should be fatter. Because why would you stop at -- what is he? What is he, Jeffy, 350?

JEFFY: No. He's only like 2 feet tall.

PAT: 5-8.

JEFFY: Probably 270.

PAT: Maybe 280.

JEFFY: Yeah, 280. He might --

GLENN: No, I don't think he's that heavy.

JEFFY: At one point when he had knee surgery and stuff, he probably pushed three.

PAT: And there's not a lot of cool things you can wear when you're built like that. Right? So that's why he does the Nehru jacket.

GLENN: What is the deal with the Nehru jacket? Seriously.

PAT: He looks like he's the fifth member of Herman's Hermits in the 1960s.

GLENN: What is the deal with the -- seriously, with the -- all the Chinese leaders wear that.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: It was never a good look. It was never a good look.

JEFFY: But you get your hair cut like that and that jacket, that's a good look.

GLENN: Your comrade jacket.

PAT: Hillary Clinton thinks it's a good look. She wears it all the time. She's the only Western person to wear the Herman's Hermits outfit.

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: And why doesn't this guy wear the uniform? I mean, if you're going to be a dictator, you've got to get yourself a snappy uniform.

PAT: His dad did, right?

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: I think honestly -- because, again, I don't know what the uniform would look like on him. There's not a lot of military guys that are overweight.

JEFFY: Overweight.

GLENN: Göring.

STU: Yes. I said there's not a lot, not there wasn't one. There's not a lot. It's not common.

GLENN: Right.

STU: You can name him because he was fat.

GLENN: I mean, he was at trial for war crimes, they were looking and going, we can't hang this guy.

PAT: It's not going to hold him.

STU: No.

GLENN: How are we going to hang him? There's no way we can hang him. We've got to shoot this guy.

PAT: He's got the Jeffy problem.

GLENN: Yeah.

Will California Use Bird Flu to Return to Draconian COVID-Era Restrictions?

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently declared a state of emergency over bird flu, and of course his “solution” is to give government agencies more money! Glenn and California refugee ‪@lizwheeler‬ discuss the absurdity of the story: Does Gavin Newsom really want to return to COVID-era draconian policies that much?! “Gavin Newsom is the Justin Trudeau of America,” Genn argues. “The guy is a wannabe dictator.” Also, Liz reveals “the tipping point” that made her move out of California.

How I Brought BRAVEHEART'S SWORD Into Mar-a-Lago

Glenn was recently invited to Mar-a-Lago to give a speech in front of Donald Trump at a PragerU event. But he admits he wasn't really thinking when he decided to bring 2 weird weapons to use as props: William Wallace's sword from "Braveheart" and a World War II-era rat with a bomb in its butt. Glenn tells the hilariously true story of how he got the items past Secret Service and, in the process, became a Secret Service legend that agents may talk about for generations.

EVIDENCE China MIGHT Take Taiwan Before Trump's Inauguration

We are entering a "wildly dangerous" time, Glenn warns. China's economy is collapsing, social unrest is on the rise, and the government appears to be reverting to Mao-era practices. So, will the Chinese Communist Party attack Taiwan to boost its national morale while America is still weak? This could be China's last chance before 4 more years of Trump or even 8-12 more years of America First policies. So, will the world look very different by New Year's day or, at the latest, January 20th? And how would America respond? Would we destroy Taiwan's superchip factories before China can take them? Glenn and Stu give their thoughts ...
