The Glenn Beck Program - 1⧸11⧸18 - 'A right to be believed'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, love, courage, truth, Glenn Beck, 0.07% when the

00:00:21.040 world learned that actress Michelle Williams only earned 0.07% of what Mark Wahlberg made

00:00:31.020 for the reshoots in the film All the Money in the World.

00:00:34.320 The outrage was, at least in my house, oh my God, how about your house, Stu?

00:00:40.220 It was crazy in my house.

00:00:42.320 We were so mad, nobody even talked about it, but it was that bad.

00:00:46.900 It's a headline that looks bad, but before you cry for the eradication of the male species,

00:00:52.880 maybe you should look at the whole story here.

00:00:54.520 In an effort to reduce controversy and to be an Oscar contender, the director Ridley Scott

00:01:01.300 decided that he needed to reshoot all of the now disgraced actor Kevin Spacey's scenes

00:01:06.740 in All the Money in the World.

00:01:09.540 Why was he doing that, Stu?

00:01:10.960 He was standing up for, you know, women and people who were...

00:01:16.560 Yeah, I mean, it was part of the Me Too movement, right?

00:01:19.340 Yeah, yeah.

00:01:19.920 I mean, while Kevin Spacey, a lot of the people he was harassing, apparently, were also men.

00:01:25.300 Yes.

00:01:25.680 But not all.

00:01:26.680 Yeah.

00:01:27.380 And...

00:01:28.060 It was just to make sure that harassment is taken seriously.

00:01:31.160 Right.

00:01:31.460 Right, right, right.

00:01:32.280 So both supporting actors, Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams, agreed to do the reshoots.

00:01:38.120 Mark Wahlberg and his agent asked for $1.5 million to do the scenes, while Michelle and

00:01:44.480 her agent negotiated for basically nothing.

00:01:47.440 In fact, she said she would do it for free, but they paid her $1,000 to do the reshoots.

00:01:54.280 So Mark and Michelle are both represented by the same talent agency, and Mark's agent pushed

00:02:02.900 for a $1,000,000 payout, so why didn't Michelle do that? 1.00

00:02:07.860 Because she's on record agreeing to do it for free.

00:02:13.160 She said, I'll be wherever they need me to be, whenever they need me, and they could have

00:02:19.060 my salary, they could have my holiday, whatever they want, because I appreciate so much that

00:02:27.100 they're making this massive effort, end quote.

00:02:31.600 Now?

00:02:33.160 Now you're bringing this up that, oh, I didn't get paid anything.

00:02:37.940 Now, Wahlberg, he didn't say those things.

00:02:41.580 The opportunity that this movie presents for Michelle is worth a lot more to her than her

00:02:47.520 salary.

00:02:48.120 All the money in the world could very well be the most important role of her career and

00:02:53.740 make us go, Michelle Williams, Michelle Williams, do I know Michelle Williams?

00:02:57.940 I say Mark Wahlberg, I know who Mark Wahlberg is.

00:03:02.720 It's possible that she may win an Oscar for her performance.

00:03:06.960 If she does, then everyone will go, oh, Michelle Williams, you know her from all the money in 1.00

00:03:12.780 the world.

00:03:13.100 Remember she run that Oscar?

00:03:14.860 Yeah.

00:03:15.160 That's why she was so willing to reshoot without negotiating for more money. 0.99

00:03:20.720 And if I may add, she didn't do the reshoots for free.

00:03:24.780 She was paid $1,000, even though she volunteered to do the job for nothing.

00:03:31.020 So, Michelle Williams, you got a bonus for reshoots and a very real chance of winning an Oscar.

00:03:39.480 If she wins, she'll have something that Mark Wahlberg and all the money in the world can

00:03:46.240 never buy. 1.00

00:03:46.900 One of those stupid gold statues that you all covet so much. 1.00

00:03:56.220 It's Thursday, January 11th. 1.00

00:03:58.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:00.320 It's amazing, too, because the money, all the money in the world is a movie essentially

00:04:05.860 saying you shouldn't be greedy.

00:04:07.840 Like, that's kind of the message of the movie.

00:04:09.920 What?

00:04:10.420 No.

00:04:10.820 And yet, the complaint is that someone didn't get paid enough to do it, which is kind of

00:04:15.920 funny.

00:04:16.580 Well, first of all, Stu, Stu, if we had to go and reshoot something, we were in a movie

00:04:24.300 and, you know, do you think that they would, and I don't mean this, I just mean this because

00:04:32.000 of the industry, do you think that they would pay you as much money for the reshoot as you

00:04:38.020 would me?

00:04:38.820 No.

00:04:39.380 No.

00:04:39.660 They would want, that's what happens.

00:04:40.920 And do you think that they would believe you if you said, I just can't do it?

00:04:49.060 I don't have it in my schedule.

00:04:51.080 I'm already on other projects.

00:04:52.900 I can't go and shift gears and go back there and do that.

00:04:57.180 Would you believe they would believe that of you as much as they would believe that

00:05:02.060 of me?

00:05:03.420 Well, probably not, I guess.

00:05:05.040 Right.

00:05:05.240 I mean, you know, people get busy and they take jobs.

00:05:08.180 I mean, an actor can be on something, but she was willing to do it.

00:05:11.540 Right.

00:05:12.020 Like, he was like, I've got other stuff going on.

00:05:14.160 Right.

00:05:14.620 Pay me.

00:05:15.120 Right.

00:05:15.780 And also, it kind of goes to him and his ability to demand.

00:05:23.320 It's called the free market.

00:05:24.720 Yeah.

00:05:24.820 With his ability to demand.

00:05:27.240 You have to ask for it to get it.

00:05:28.700 Right.

00:05:29.140 In this situation, if they're asking you to do something that's above and beyond what

00:05:32.040 you've agreed to contractually, you have to say, hey, yeah, I'll do it, but I'm not

00:05:36.660 going to do it unless you pay me X, Y, and Z.

00:05:38.400 I'm not going to do it for free, which is the opposite of what she said.

00:05:42.360 Right.

00:05:42.580 She said she would do it for free.

00:05:43.800 And again, like, what do these people have to gain here?

00:05:46.420 Mark Wahlberg is good in that movie.

00:05:48.780 It's a good movie, by the way, if you haven't seen it, All the Money in the World.

00:05:51.760 He's good.

00:05:52.500 He does a good job in it.

00:05:53.620 But Mark Wahlberg, you know, outside of the money, really gets nothing out of that role.

00:05:58.180 I mean, he's a good supporting actor in a movie.

00:06:00.620 He's already a megastar.

00:06:02.160 It doesn't really matter all that much to him.

00:06:05.040 Now, Michelle Williams is also really good in that movie, and she may very well win an 0.58

00:06:09.220 Oscar.

00:06:09.800 Who is she? 0.99

00:06:10.360 Is she the mom?

00:06:11.040 Does she play the mom?

00:06:11.760 Yeah, she's the mom.

00:06:12.620 Okay.

00:06:12.760 So I don't even know.

00:06:13.840 I would not recognize her if she was in the line of the grocery store next to me. 0.94

00:06:18.160 I wouldn't know who she was.

00:06:19.200 I mean, so the point there is that she's actually got a lot more to gain from this movie doing

00:06:25.580 well.

00:06:26.020 Now, the question is, is this an Oscar thing for her?

00:06:30.920 I mean, no, not the movie.

00:06:32.680 I mean, is this of her bringing up saying, oh, my gosh, look at this.

00:06:38.320 Look at what they're doing to me, a woman, to get the people in Hollywood to even go, oh, 1.00

00:06:45.360 my gosh, look at her. 0.92

00:06:46.180 She's such a warrior.

00:06:47.880 She's our next Meryl Streep. 0.91

00:06:50.880 That's what she wants out of this, right?

00:06:52.720 I guess.

00:06:53.220 I mean, like, I'm looking at her IMDb page, and there's a lot of stuff that she's been

00:06:57.480 in, but not a lot of big, you know, mega hits, and this is an opportunity for her to make 0.76

00:07:06.540 a huge name for herself and get all sorts of amazing roles, and she's willing to try

00:07:11.920 to make that happen for free.

00:07:15.000 She doesn't have to.

00:07:15.800 Think of what would happen if she went in, you know what, I want $1.5 million to do

00:07:19.700 this.

00:07:20.140 What are they going to do?

00:07:20.880 Reshoot her parts, too?

00:07:22.220 Because she's in, like, every scene.

00:07:23.780 So you have nothing you can really do with Michelle Williams.

00:07:27.600 You'd have to pay her, and you know what?

00:07:29.520 They would have.

00:07:30.680 But if an employee comes to you and say, hey, I want to work through Christmas, and I also

00:07:36.000 don't want to make any money, are you, you know, you're going to say, okay, thanks.

00:07:41.240 Well, look, yeah, so look, if this was reversed, and Mark Wahlberg said, you know what, I am

00:07:47.260 so disgusted by Kevin Spacey that I'll reshoot it, whatever you need.

00:07:56.100 Just, you don't even have to pay me.

00:07:57.700 I'll work over the holidays.

00:07:58.960 I just, this is really important to me.

00:08:01.780 Do you think they would have paid him $1.5 million?

00:08:04.420 No, of course not.

00:08:05.300 No, they wouldn't have.

00:08:05.760 And if she said, you're going to have to pay me $1.5 million, they either would have paid

00:08:11.540 her $1.4 million, or they would have found a way to shoot around her and not paid it. 1.00

00:08:16.820 But most likely, they would have paid it.

00:08:18.580 And if she would have stood up and said, I made $1.5 million, and Mark Wahlberg then

00:08:23.880 said, oh my gosh, I can't believe she made one.

00:08:27.600 I always paid $1,000.

00:08:30.440 I would say the same thing.

00:08:32.040 Mark, you said you would do it for free.

00:08:35.960 Exactly.

00:08:36.520 You said it was really important.

00:08:38.460 You'll do it for free.

00:08:40.020 I don't know if you understand how to negotiate.

00:08:43.780 It doesn't, I mean, this is an important part of this.

00:08:46.120 I'll give you another example, too.

00:08:47.920 The movie, Wolf of Wall Street.

00:08:50.120 Remember Wolf of Wall Street?

00:08:51.180 So Leonardo DiCaprio is the big star of that movie.

00:08:53.520 Jonah Hill is in it as well.

00:08:54.940 Now, Jonah Hill plays a very large role in that movie.

00:08:57.000 He's a pretty big star.

00:08:58.420 I mean, like, you know who Jonah Hill is.

00:09:00.000 The fat jokes don't stop with you.

00:09:01.540 What?

00:09:01.740 He's a really big star.

00:09:03.460 Oh my God.

00:09:04.380 He's a very large star.

00:09:05.620 And a big role.

00:09:07.460 But he is, right?

00:09:08.520 He's someone unlike Michelle Williams.

00:09:10.180 If he walked up next to you in the line of the grocery store, you'd know who he was right

00:09:13.100 away.

00:09:13.440 Yeah.

00:09:14.420 And he did that role because he thought it would raise, he really wanted to do the

00:09:19.500 movie.

00:09:19.980 He thought it would raise his profile.

00:09:21.240 He thought it would give him a serious actor chops as opposed to comedic actor chops.

00:09:25.320 So he did that movie for scale, which I want to say is like, it was low six figures for

00:09:30.580 the entire movie.

00:09:31.460 So unlike Michelle Williams, who got paid a normal giant salary for all the money in the 1.00

00:09:36.820 world and then just didn't get paid for her reshoots, Jonah Hill barely got paid in Hollywood 0.78

00:09:41.000 terms for the entire movie, Wolf of Wall Street.

00:09:45.640 And he did it because he wanted to do it.

00:09:48.440 I will take scale.

00:09:49.480 I want to do this because this movie is important to me.

00:09:52.360 It's important to what I think my career is going to be.

00:09:55.580 And that didn't mean with a movie, with a, with a movie makers supposed to go to him

00:10:00.120 and say, Hey, you know what?

00:10:01.040 No, you need to make 10 times that actually Leo's making a 20 million for this.

00:10:04.760 So we got to make sure we pay you 20 million to even it out because you're two men and

00:10:07.640 men we treat equally unlike women. 0.99

00:10:09.660 No, they were like, okay, we'll take you for a hundred thousand dollars.

00:10:13.320 Sure.

00:10:14.040 That sounds like a great deal.

00:10:15.640 And it worked out really well.

00:10:17.460 I mean, this is, I have, by the way, I don't know.

00:10:20.300 I haven't seen this, but it doesn't seem like I've heard Michelle Williams actually

00:10:22.900 complaining about this.

00:10:24.900 You know, it's, you know, it's incredible is it, it means something to you that, you

00:10:30.140 know, you would, you would think that you'd be like the, no, this means something to

00:10:33.060 me.

00:10:33.980 When, when did that become dishonorable?

00:10:37.420 This means something to me and I don't, I don't want, I don't want to get paid for

00:10:41.600 it.

00:10:42.100 And this is important that we reshoot this.

00:10:45.640 And somehow or another, that's, I mean, the, the, really, if you really want to talk

00:10:50.400 about it in, in fairness terms, how come Mark Wahlberg, how come this is not about money?

00:10:57.020 How come this is about, uh, uh, how come this isn't about Mark Wahlberg?

00:11:03.820 This didn't mean so much to you.

00:11:05.680 You, you, you, I mean, you could easily twist this in.

00:11:10.020 Oh, so you didn't care about Kevin Spacey.

00:11:11.940 You didn't care about all the abuse that was going on.

00:11:14.360 That would also be completely, completely wrong, but it would make more sense than this.

00:11:19.320 Than this, this is, look at this.

00:11:21.700 She didn't get paid. 0.97

00:11:23.260 No, I thought this was an important thing to do.

00:11:26.960 Uh, people are tweeting that, uh, Michelle Williams was charity in the greatest showman,

00:11:30.580 which I know you saw, um, one of the big roles in that, in that particular charity.

00:11:34.620 She, that, that was the, uh, opera singer. 0.91

00:11:37.280 No, the, uh, wife.

00:11:39.540 Oh, she was great.

00:11:40.360 She's great.

00:11:40.800 She's really good.

00:11:41.720 And, uh, someone saying that she won an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain a million years ago.

00:11:45.580 That's one I didn't see.

00:11:46.600 I didn't see that either.

00:11:47.880 Um, and that's obviously because we're haters.

00:11:49.760 Yes.

00:11:50.260 Of course.

00:11:50.840 In case you don't know, we don't like movies with mountains in them.

00:11:53.880 We will not see them.

00:11:55.100 I have a, I'm very allergic to horses, even the horses on screen.

00:11:58.300 Right.

00:11:58.540 So, but I mean, I, this is a smart move for her.

00:12:02.800 If it's something she cares about, this is a great thing for her to do.

00:12:06.720 It makes her easy to work with.

00:12:08.280 And you know what?

00:12:09.120 It's, it's the other part of this is the reason why they needed to do reshoots is because they

00:12:14.260 were taking powerful men who abuse their power too seriously.

00:12:17.640 Right.

00:12:18.140 That's the reason the reshoots exist in the first place.

00:12:21.440 The movie is about greed.

00:12:23.780 She is.

00:12:25.000 And we're all like, how come she, how come.

00:12:26.880 They don't ever see the irony of what they do.

00:12:30.740 They never, ever do.

00:12:32.800 These great storytellers would have a sense for irony.

00:12:40.580 They just do not.

00:12:41.260 They do movie after movie where it's like showing the evil government out of control.

00:12:46.080 And then they leave the studio, the bell rings and they're like, you know what?

00:12:49.520 We need bigger government.

00:12:50.960 What?

00:12:53.780 All right.

00:12:55.260 How are you doing on your goals so far?

00:12:57.280 Did you make any goals?

00:12:58.120 Did you make goals for 2018?

00:13:00.180 Just to be less fat.

00:13:01.500 That's it.

00:13:01.860 Yeah.

00:13:02.120 Well, mine was to be more healthy.

00:13:04.300 Oh, I don't care about health.

00:13:05.280 I just want to be less fat.

00:13:06.560 I'm sick of being fat all the time.

00:13:08.080 You're still in your forties.

00:13:09.040 Oh, yeah.

00:13:10.300 That's true.

00:13:10.980 All of a sudden, it'll change from fat to healthy.

00:13:13.400 Yes, it will.

00:13:14.080 What does that change about?

00:13:15.140 It changed for me about 50.

00:13:16.980 Okay.

00:13:17.320 Yeah.

00:13:17.540 Then you were like, hmm.

00:13:19.180 I'd like to stay alive for a couple of years.

00:13:20.880 I wish I would have cared less about fat and more about health.

00:13:25.900 We should both report that both of us are sick right now.

00:13:28.520 Yeah.

00:13:28.880 We're both flying on NyQuil.

00:13:31.160 Yes, I am.

00:13:32.720 This is a show that we're going to do high, and we may probably fall asleep in the middle

00:13:37.080 of monologues.

00:13:37.640 If that happens, we'd appreciate you calling up, and we'll just pop up your call, and you

00:13:41.180 can just talk and fill the space.

00:13:42.400 Yeah.

00:13:43.560 We're trying to figure out which guest spoke the most last year that we could call up

00:13:48.820 and just go, so how are you?

00:13:50.700 And let them just monologue.

00:13:51.920 And let them just go.

00:13:52.780 And then just in the middle of their conversation, we'll just start the commercials.

00:13:55.160 Right.

00:13:55.440 And then we'll come back, and they'll still be talking.

00:13:57.220 And we'll just let them fill.

00:13:58.200 We've had a few of those guests.

00:14:00.560 All right.

00:14:01.000 Anyway, I want to talk to you about your goals.

00:14:03.980 And if one of your goals is to feel better, you might want to look at your sleep.

00:14:09.660 Your sleep changes your whole life.

00:14:14.180 If you're getting a good night's sleep, it's why, you know, CPAP machines are so important.

00:14:23.100 If, you know, Pat should have a CPAP machine, because he stops breathing, and I've watched

00:14:29.120 him on airplanes sleep, he's like, he wakes himself up every 30 seconds, and it's because

00:14:34.520 he stops sleeping.

00:14:35.340 If you can't get a good night's sleep, your body's not going to, you know, regenerate.

00:14:41.400 It's just not going to heal itself.

00:14:43.900 So, CPAP machine, or just a great mattress, are you kept awake because of your mattress?

00:16:10.820 I have the greatest hashtag me too story of all time.

00:16:29.440 Oh, no.

00:16:30.120 Who touched you, Glenn?

00:16:31.580 Who touched you?

00:16:32.500 No.

00:16:33.260 Who did it?

00:16:33.900 Nobody.

00:16:34.200 Can you find somebody?

00:16:36.080 No.

00:16:36.760 I cannot.

00:16:37.140 Okay, so in court on Tuesday, this person said that they were sexually harassed, and they

00:16:56.300 have been touched in their groin area several times in a sexual manner.

00:17:05.120 Oh, no. 0.83

00:17:06.280 Wow.

00:17:07.140 Bad, right?

00:17:08.340 It's terrible, obviously.

00:17:09.540 Yeah.

00:17:11.000 This charge now, he doesn't have access to Twitter, unfortunately.

00:17:15.680 Otherwise, he would have hashtagged me too immediately, is Kalik Shade Mohamed.

00:17:23.560 The terrorist?

00:17:25.140 The hairy bat guy? 0.99

00:17:26.000 Yeah.

00:17:26.420 Yeah.

00:17:27.220 He's been sexually harassed at Gitmo.

00:17:29.800 Oh, my God.

00:17:30.200 That's terrible.

00:17:30.780 Yeah.

00:17:31.240 Yeah.

00:17:31.500 It's awful.

00:17:32.280 Him too.

00:17:32.700 Him too.

00:17:34.520 He said the changes at the Gitmo policy have led guards to manually search his groin area.

00:17:43.060 Well, and it's a little different.

00:17:46.060 Hmm? 0.90

00:17:46.180 I want to say manually searching a terrorist groin area is slightly different than sexual 0.93

00:17:50.620 harassment.

00:17:51.080 Can I tell you something?

00:17:52.120 If there's a lawsuit to be had here, it's not that somebody touched his groin.

00:17:56.380 It's that we made somebody touch his groin.

00:17:59.080 That's a great point.

00:18:00.700 I would counter sue.

00:18:02.560 Are you kidding me? 0.99

00:18:04.040 Like, I want to touch him in the groin area? 0.98

00:18:06.980 Have you seen the man? 0.99

00:18:08.900 I will say this.

00:18:09.820 Yeah.

00:18:10.240 He has a right to be believed.

00:18:13.280 He does.

00:18:13.840 He does.

00:18:15.300 Not to be heard, not to be taken seriously.

00:18:17.200 He has a right to be believed.

00:18:19.540 So I immediately have jumped to the fact that he was actually sexually harassed.

00:18:24.220 And I think whatever, whatever soldier, whatever, you know, person did this should be should

00:18:31.480 be removed from their position and never work again.

00:18:33.480 So I would like to know, do you get to join the Me Too Club if you've ever gone to the

00:18:39.300 airport?

00:18:41.600 Under colleagues, Sheikh Mohammed. 0.83

00:18:43.840 Yes, you do.

00:18:44.820 But I think you do.

00:18:45.800 But you know what?

00:18:46.420 Pat says that he feels like he was sexually violated.

00:18:50.820 Yeah, he's very he's very he's very he's always been very sensitive on the TSA stuff.

00:18:55.360 Yeah, I mean, but you'd shake Pat's hand and he's like, I feel I'm very uncomfortable.

00:19:00.680 He's very, you know, he's a little he's a little touchy feely guy.

00:19:04.580 He's not a hugger.

00:19:05.720 No, he's not a hugger.

00:19:06.940 No.

00:19:07.280 So, you know, somebody saying grabbing him by his arm is kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:19:11.260 What are you touching me for?

00:19:12.280 But he does say that he feels like he was sexually harassed at airports.

00:19:16.640 And I will say one of the things we've learned as we've gone through the Me Too movement.

00:19:21.520 Yeah.

00:19:21.840 Right.

00:19:22.260 Yeah.

00:19:22.700 Is that it's not important what the motivation of the person doing the touching is.

00:19:28.940 For example, if someone touches you on the on your back or gives you a kiss on the cheek and they're doing it because they do it to everybody and it is not a to them a sexual thing at all.

00:19:39.820 Well, it's only important what the person receiving that contact feels right if they not even at that time, if they six months, six years, 60 years later, feel that that interaction was a negative one for them.

00:19:55.480 Then we believe the person who was touched and we destroy the person who did the touching, whether it has to do with a negative sexual intent or if it was just passing.

00:20:06.920 Well, I will tell you our current philosophy on the matter.

00:20:09.560 I will tell you, I want to I want to bring this up that there is a sexual charge coming out against me.

00:20:14.180 Oh, really?

00:20:14.500 Yeah.

00:20:15.020 My mother said that apparently I used to, you know, suckle on her when I was like one. 1.00

00:20:22.320 No.

00:20:22.580 And I please she was very uncomfortable and mercury.

00:20:35.000 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:37.540 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:20:39.460 Coming up, we're going to go into some of the predictions.

00:20:42.840 I think today is tech predictions, technology, and it's weird because a lot of these tech things are already happening.

00:20:52.200 Yesterday, we told you about Kodak coin, Kodak coin.

00:20:57.200 This is the first time to be excited if you if you have anything to do with Kodak.

00:21:01.120 It's like they learned their lesson.

00:21:03.380 You know, the story about how they went out of business, how fast that happened.

00:21:06.940 Oh, you don't know this.

00:21:07.600 This is fascinating.

00:21:08.900 So Kodak, you know, made film, obviously.

00:21:12.840 They were the film dealer for everybody.

00:21:15.860 They were state of the art film and film processing.

00:21:18.920 And they had a billion employees in Rochester, New York.

00:21:22.740 And they see the digital camera and they said, well, it's not going to really take off.

00:21:32.100 And so they decided to not.

00:21:34.300 We'll let other people do the digital thing.

00:21:36.280 We'll just stay in film.

00:21:38.100 One Christmas went by and it was the first Christmas that digital cameras started to take off.

00:21:43.380 They met again and they were like, no, we are a film company.

00:21:48.460 Three Christmases later, they were almost out of business.

00:21:52.640 It happened that fast.

00:21:54.240 They went from the Titan to three years later, nothing.

00:21:58.760 And then they were like, maybe we should do the digital thing.

00:22:00.760 And it was too late.

00:22:01.320 So the first thing that I think Kodak has done that is really smart is they have just come out.

00:22:07.840 They announced it, I think, Monday or Tuesday, a Kodak coin.

00:22:13.620 And it's like Bitcoin.

00:22:15.900 But here's and this is in one of my predictions that some company is going to do this and they're going to use blockchain and coin to do it.

00:22:23.880 And I said in the prediction that it would be Facebook or Apple or somebody like that, Kodak is the one that comes out and does it.

00:22:31.640 And what they've done is, you know how you have, you know, the stock photo thing.

00:22:38.620 What is it?

00:22:38.960 Not Reuters, but you always see it.

00:22:42.200 You go there for stock photos of news things.

00:22:46.380 I don't know if you've ever seen it, but yeah, there's a few companies that do.

00:22:48.660 Yeah, there's a company that, you know, the big one takes you, you sell your or you, you post your photo of, you know, I've got the president picking his nose and they put it on a on a service.

00:22:59.780 And that service goes and everybody has it.

00:23:03.480 And if you want to use it for television or radio or newspaper or something that you just buy it from them.

00:23:08.140 And then that company pays you Getty Images, Getty Images.

00:23:11.720 That's what it is.

00:23:12.340 OK, so Kodak has decided they're going to do it.

00:23:18.760 And so what they do is in your camera, you will take pictures and it will automatically go into blockchain and be held by you.

00:23:28.080 And you can immediately post it.

00:23:30.460 I mean, you take it and it posts for sale from Kodak.

00:23:35.000 And then there's no middleman.

00:23:37.460 They're not negotiating anything.

00:23:38.700 It's just posted.

00:23:39.900 They want to buy it.

00:23:40.660 They buy it through Kodak coin.

00:23:43.100 You get paid immediately.

00:23:45.500 And it's it's simple.

00:23:47.340 And there's no middleman.

00:23:49.700 That's Kodak coin.

00:23:51.120 That's great.

00:23:51.740 That's really brilliant.

00:23:52.800 It's interesting, too, because they're having a big renaissance because they've tied themselves to this blockchain idea.

00:23:58.780 And that's happening to a lot of companies.

00:24:00.520 And it's a lot of them are like very strange stories like this.

00:24:04.180 This Chanticleer Holdings, you know, if big fan of them.

00:24:08.120 No, Chanticleer. 0.94

00:24:09.720 Yeah.

00:24:09.920 Never heard of it.

00:24:10.540 They they own several Hooters restaurants, nine Hooters restaurants.

00:24:15.480 OK.

00:24:15.660 All right.

00:24:16.080 And they own some of the stock of Hooters of America.

00:24:20.580 I'm trying to figure out the connection to blockchain.

00:24:22.920 Right.

00:24:23.240 That's what a lot of people are.

00:24:24.460 Right.

00:24:24.740 OK.

00:24:24.940 So they said a couple of weeks ago that they would use blockchain related technology for its customer rewards program.

00:24:33.040 Essentially, this made a press release about blockchain and their stock went up 50 percent.

00:24:37.760 OK, that happened.

00:24:38.920 I saw that.

00:24:39.820 Not that story.

00:24:40.740 I saw that happen last year.

00:24:42.420 There was another company that just has nothing.

00:24:45.160 They didn't even announce that they were putting blockchain.

00:24:47.540 Nothing.

00:24:48.180 Yeah.

00:24:48.300 They just put blockchain in their name.

00:24:51.560 Yeah.

00:24:51.920 It was like Glenn's blockchain.

00:24:53.380 blockchain and it went up and they couldn't.

00:24:55.820 The company has nothing to do with blockchain.

00:24:57.680 They just were like, let's make some money off this blockchain thing.

00:25:00.100 That's really smart.

00:25:01.080 They're getting.

00:25:01.540 Yeah.

00:25:02.000 It's not going to work really well.

00:25:03.800 I mean, it's like, you know, that's Warren Buffett saying, don't invest.

00:25:07.500 If you don't know how it works, you know, most people can't even understand what blockchain is, let alone Glenn's blockchain.

00:25:16.000 That's just somebody out there going, I know.

00:25:17.940 Let's put the money in their blockchain bank.

00:25:20.320 Right.

00:25:20.560 They're thinking, OK, here's a new company or a company that's changing its goals.

00:25:24.940 And now they're going to be working in blockchain.

00:25:26.700 Get in now.

00:25:27.260 Get in early.

00:25:28.580 So whoever owns that company is increases their cash by 50 percent or whatever it is.

00:25:34.380 And then they can sell and make a bunch of money.

00:25:36.860 And then when it turns out that they're not actually doing it, eventually the stock will surely come down.

00:25:40.480 That's a good idea.

00:25:41.720 So yesterday, two days ago, I had about a two hour meeting with a guy from Silicon Valley who's a real mover and shaker and who's been instrumental in some of the biggest companies around now, the new tech companies.

00:25:54.300 And had a fascinating conversation yesterday.

00:25:57.500 Stu and I had a conversation with a blockchain and cryptocurrency guy.

00:26:02.420 And, man, I hope he's right.

00:26:08.080 Yeah.

00:26:08.480 He was optimistic, I would say.

00:26:10.740 Yeah.

00:26:11.040 What did he say that he thought Bitcoin would go up to?

00:26:16.500 Yeah.

00:26:16.860 He said several hundred, five hundred thousand.

00:26:19.460 Five hundred thousand, I thought.

00:26:21.060 He didn't put a time period on that, did he?

00:26:22.660 No, I don't think so.

00:26:23.480 Yeah.

00:26:23.700 And he's been right about a lot of these things.

00:26:27.260 You know, I'm sure he's been wrong about a lot of these as well.

00:26:29.400 But he's been right about a lot of these.

00:26:30.780 And he was like, yeah, there's, you know, there's a lot to learn, like Ethereum.

00:26:36.560 He taught us about Ethereum a little bit yesterday.

00:26:38.960 I didn't realize that was like an operating system.

00:26:41.500 Yeah, it is.

00:26:42.420 But what a lot of these, like, secondary or even below that coins are built on, it's

00:26:48.000 like that's the operating system for these new, you know, Bitcoin types.

00:26:55.020 I'm trying to explain this in a way that anyone who doesn't know this understands it.

00:26:57.980 But it's basically like if you're going to create the new Bitcoin, right, Kodak coin

00:27:00.900 comes out, it's probably built on Ethereum.

00:27:02.860 Ethereum is essentially the operating system for it.

00:27:06.060 How is, I mean, I was reading some stuff from Milton Friedman.

00:27:09.600 And we put it in a monologue on TV last night.

00:27:11.380 If you missed it, you should watch it.

00:27:12.660 But Milton Friedman talked about the Internet and said the Internet is going to be gigantic

00:27:19.920 and it will really change things.

00:27:23.100 It will change government and everything else once you come up with a digital currency.

00:27:28.900 And here we are.

00:27:29.920 We're at a digital currency.

00:27:30.900 Yeah, I got you just you just wonder how is how are the governments of the world?

00:27:37.120 When push comes to shove, they're so far behind that they don't.

00:27:43.540 I mean, I remember having a conversation with somebody in Congress who's who sits on a committee

00:27:50.180 for this kind of stuff.

00:27:51.860 And I was talking to them about, you know, the technology that's coming.

00:27:56.160 Me, me.

00:27:58.240 I have a rudimentary at best understanding of this stuff.

00:28:01.620 And they just kept looking at me and blinking and they were in a room with a few people and

00:28:05.880 they were like, huh, we're going to have to look into that.

00:28:09.220 I mean, maybe we should we should look at is there regulation that would we should be looking

00:28:15.580 into?

00:28:15.980 And I went, what?

00:28:18.720 By the time you guys even figure this out, it's too late.

00:28:22.340 Yeah.

00:28:22.540 Yeah.

00:28:22.760 And they just they have no concept of what's coming.

00:28:26.880 Yeah.

00:28:26.960 People talk about this and it's not a matter of whether cryptocurrencies fail because the

00:28:31.800 governments try to stop them.

00:28:32.900 It's the idea of whether governments will fail because of cryptocurrencies.

00:28:36.260 Correct.

00:28:37.080 So it's interesting.

00:28:37.880 And I think like these things obviously have been in the news a lot.

00:28:40.700 I think there's different levels of interest, right?

00:28:42.560 Like the top tier are people who are real investors and really know this stuff.

00:28:46.380 Excuse me.

00:28:46.900 There's a secondary tier.

00:28:47.720 I'm going to take a little bit more.

00:28:49.980 But the secondary tier of people who know a decent amount about it, maybe invest in

00:28:54.640 it, right?

00:28:55.360 Then there's people who kind of just follow the news and are interested in things like

00:28:58.940 a money supply that the government can't inflate.

00:29:01.480 I think a lot of people in our audience are interested in that aspect of it.

00:29:04.640 The idea that that could solve a thing we've been complaining about for decades.

00:29:08.780 Forever.

00:29:09.300 Forever.

00:29:09.740 And it's not centralized through a government.

00:29:12.340 There's no trusted source.

00:29:13.980 It's all done automatically.

00:29:15.300 And it takes government nonsense out of the process.

00:29:17.960 I think there's a level of interest there.

00:29:19.060 And I think at the very bottom of it is just I like hearing stories about people getting

00:29:24.560 mega rich off of things.

00:29:25.960 I love those stories where like someone invests a dollar.

00:29:29.420 Like we had someone who wrote in yesterday to one of our stories on Facebook and said

00:29:33.180 they got in an argument with their wife in 2013 about buying 500 Bitcoins.

00:29:41.940 Oh my gosh.

00:29:42.840 Now 2013.

00:29:44.740 How much was that?

00:29:45.800 Let me look at the Bitcoin chart here real quick.

00:29:47.340 I didn't realize it was 500 Bitcoins.

00:29:49.940 500.

00:29:50.880 Somebody in our audience.

00:29:52.020 We have to talk to you.

00:29:53.360 Yes.

00:29:53.800 If that's you, you have to call in.

00:29:56.400 Oh my gosh.

00:29:57.060 Can you imagine?

00:29:58.020 So how much was it?

00:29:58.940 So I'm looking.

00:30:00.480 So he had an argument with his wife and she said, we're not going to put money in Bitcoin.

00:30:05.580 And he said, honey, right now it will cost us how much?

00:30:09.880 I'm looking that up.

00:30:10.780 We should.

00:30:11.300 We should invest 500 Bitcoin.

00:30:14.540 Can you imagine?

00:30:16.180 Can you?

00:30:17.260 2013.

00:30:18.140 That had to be.

00:30:19.020 Okay.

00:30:19.200 So 2013 we're at.

00:30:20.680 It had to be 200. 0.90

00:30:22.500 Yeah.

00:30:23.120 So 2013, it ranged.

00:30:25.260 That was the year that it had its first, what they were calling at the time, a bubble where

00:30:30.140 it peaked at $1,000.

00:30:31.920 Okay.

00:30:32.300 But then it ran down and it was in, it was between, he said 2012 or 2013.

00:30:37.460 So 2013, it was for most of the year about $100.

00:30:41.560 At the beginning of 2013, it was $13.

00:30:45.780 Oh my God.

00:30:46.360 So let's take it.

00:30:46.920 So if he says 20, yeah, let's say $50.

00:30:49.700 Yeah.

00:30:50.220 Let's say $50.

00:30:50.960 So that would have been 25, that would have been $25,000, right?

00:30:54.420 50, 50 times 500 is $25,000.

00:30:58.100 So that's a good, I mean, so you think, I don't know.

00:30:59.840 Now do 500 times, let's say 15,000.

00:31:04.560 15,000.

00:31:06.060 We'll get you a better return of $7.5 million.

00:31:09.160 Oh my gosh.

00:31:10.260 And he said, I have an argument.

00:31:11.400 Are they still together?

00:31:12.020 I thought it's a great way to ask them.

00:31:13.160 Are they still together?

00:31:14.560 We have to track that listener down.

00:31:16.260 Yes.

00:31:16.520 He said, we had the argument, I lost the argument, and I'm still poor.

00:31:20.540 Was it the way he described it?

00:31:22.640 500 bitcoins, he must have had some money, right?

00:31:24.960 I mean, even at the lowest, it would have been $5,000 or $8,000.

00:31:28.340 But $7.5 million is better than $8,000 in money.

00:31:33.120 At least that's my impression.

00:31:34.860 Yeah.

00:31:35.140 I'm not sure.

00:31:36.220 Is that common core math?

00:31:37.300 Yeah.

00:31:37.640 Yeah.

00:31:38.320 I have to show my work.

00:31:39.580 Yeah.

00:31:39.800 Show your work on that.

00:31:40.880 But that's nothing compared to the guys who founded Ripple.

00:31:44.260 Now, Ripple is another cryptocurrency.

00:31:45.920 You have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin.

00:31:48.360 Ripple is...

00:31:49.080 Ripple seems pretty shady.

00:31:50.980 Well, only because they announced that Ripple was going to go on to Coinbase.

00:31:57.240 And if Coinbase...

00:31:58.180 They didn't announce that.

00:31:58.980 That was a rumor.

00:31:59.800 That is not happening.

00:32:00.240 That was a rumor?

00:32:00.940 That wasn't...

00:32:01.320 Yes.

00:32:01.340 That is not...

00:32:01.960 There's no reason to believe that that's happening at this point.

00:32:04.240 No, I know that.

00:32:04.960 But I thought it came from them.

00:32:07.260 No, I don't think so.

00:32:08.120 Okay.

00:32:08.380 No, I don't think so.

00:32:09.240 Well, somebody...

00:32:09.980 And it looked pretty solid.

00:32:12.940 And it went from like $1.50 to $3.50, $3.90, something like that.

00:32:17.820 And it's fallen down a little.

00:32:18.680 It's in the high $1 right now.

00:32:20.560 But it was also 0.06 or 0.06 cents in 2017.

00:32:33.160 0.06 cents is what it was.

00:32:35.620 You could have bought these things for 0.06 cents.

00:32:37.940 Now, the way that...

00:32:38.560 It's different than, let's say, Bitcoin.

00:32:40.480 Bitcoin, I was talking about.

00:32:41.480 Like, it's not centralized, right?

00:32:44.280 And it is...

00:32:46.080 There's a limited amount of Bitcoins that will ever be created.

00:32:48.420 So there's no inflationary risk here.

00:32:50.940 Most of the Bitcoins, 80-some-odd percent of them, are already out.

00:32:54.120 So there's not an inflation there.

00:32:56.840 Ripple, they created 100 billion of these things upon inception.

00:33:02.140 Okay?

00:33:02.600 So they created 100 billion of them.

00:33:04.300 And they did...

00:33:04.860 The way they gave them away, it was like they gave...

00:33:06.660 They did giveaways.

00:33:07.540 They did all sorts of things.

00:33:08.920 But they've only released a third of them.

00:33:11.040 So 66 billion of these Ripple coins are held by the company,

00:33:15.920 which was like three guys who created them.

00:33:18.420 Okay?

00:33:18.720 66 billion.

00:33:19.720 They're currently about $2 per coin.

00:33:23.260 Okay?

00:33:23.620 So that's a lot of money.

00:33:25.780 The way this breaks down, Forbes looked at it.

00:33:32.240 It's actually insane.

00:33:34.480 The co-founder and CEO, Chris Larson, who stepped down in November 2016,

00:33:39.220 he now serves as the executive chairman of Ripple.

00:33:41.480 He has 5.19 billion Ripple tokens in his personal holdings and a 17% stake in the company.

00:33:50.760 He's got $5 billion.

00:33:52.140 $5 billion himself.

00:33:53.340 No, he's got more than that.

00:33:54.640 His net worth currently, and this was the price was slightly higher than it is right now,

00:33:58.360 but when this was written, the net worth personally, $37.3 billion.

00:34:03.600 Oh my gosh.

00:34:04.140 That would make him the 15th richest American on the 2017 Forbes 400 list.

00:34:08.760 This stuff is going to change the world.

00:34:14.060 Think of the power shift.

00:34:17.260 Here's a guy who had nothing, and now he's got $37 billion.

00:34:22.880 I mean, you know, you hit it in the wrong hands.

00:34:27.660 Hooters is going to be where Congress meets.

00:34:30.840 I've got news for you.

00:34:33.000 They're already meeting there.

00:34:33.940 Yeah, right.

00:34:34.700 It is a Hooters without the wings.

00:34:40.080 By the way, the way they have this formatted is they can release 1 billion new tokens every month.

00:34:45.160 So every month, they can just bring in, in cash, $2, $3 billion to fund this operation.

00:34:52.260 And they're trying to make it a big bank payment.

00:34:53.200 That sounds like a Ponzi scheme in a way, because you can print them.

00:34:56.180 That's why Bitcoin is so good.

00:34:57.700 It just can't print them.

00:34:58.940 Yeah, they can just...

00:34:59.480 It's not making them.

00:34:59.820 This way, you can really flood the market.

00:35:01.360 But it's a really interesting project.

00:35:03.240 All right.

00:35:03.440 I want to talk to you a little bit about Liberty Safe.

00:35:05.960 The museum, I just bought a new Liberty Safe, because I keep a lot of the stuff for Mercury 1 safe.

00:35:17.100 It's kind of my job.

00:35:18.980 And take some of the really, really, really rare stuff and put it in safes.

00:35:25.000 We just got...

00:35:25.700 I've needed one for a while.

00:35:26.900 We've had stuff stacked on top of each other and just bought a new Liberty Safe because the sale that they're having is really, really good.

00:35:35.720 I've not seen them offer the Liberty Safes with these kinds of deals and also the payment plans.

00:35:41.280 Right now, through January 22nd, you can get into Liberty's new Tough USA series for $8.99, $9.99, or $10.99.

00:35:48.840 Plus, you get Liberty's 12 months interest-free or payments as low as $20 a month on approved credit.

00:35:55.560 So, you can afford a Liberty Safe.

00:35:58.480 If you need one for your guns, for your papers, I will tell you, the first one I got was a small one.

00:36:03.800 We don't even use it anymore because it's like it was literally, I got it home, and by the first day, it was almost full.

00:36:12.080 We were like, what?

00:36:12.940 I didn't realize we had stuff that we should, you know, paperwork and stuff like that.

00:36:17.260 Liberty Safe.

00:36:18.240 Keep your guns.

00:36:19.420 Keep your paperwork.

00:36:20.340 Keep the things that mean something safe in a Liberty Safe.

00:36:24.000 They're also professionally installed by the authorized dealers, and the dealers are really, really great.

00:36:29.660 It's LibertySafe.com.

00:36:31.860 Go there.

00:36:32.460 Don't let these deals slip by you.

00:36:33.980 It's LibertySafe.com.

00:36:38.020 Glenn Beck.

00:36:39.940 Mercury.

00:36:53.480 Glenn Beck.

00:36:54.880 Well, Stu, are you following the release of the GPS transcripts?

00:37:01.480 Yeah, a little bit.

00:37:02.040 I mean, I know Dianne Feinstein apologized to Chuck Grassley for not letting him know it was coming.

00:37:08.460 But did you see the apologies?

00:37:09.740 She said, I'm sorry, I was just pressured to do it.

00:37:13.460 Pressured to do it by whom?

00:37:14.680 Exactly.

00:37:15.460 And when Chuck said, by whom, she said, oh, I didn't, no, I didn't mean that.

00:37:19.620 I mean, I just, I'm sorry.

00:37:21.260 What the hell is happening with the Fusion GPS thing?

00:37:26.260 More on this and a look into what's going to happen this year technology-wise next.

00:37:31.240 Glenn Beck.

00:37:32.840 Mercury.

00:37:40.300 Love.

00:37:41.800 Courage.

00:37:43.340 Truth.

00:37:44.960 Glenn Beck.

00:37:46.700 You know what's truly amazing?

00:37:47.700 The U.S. national debt is over $20 trillion and rising.

00:37:52.860 Did you hear anybody mark the day when it hit $20 trillion?

00:37:57.200 Remember when we used to count the number of dead in the war?

00:38:01.000 Remember when people used to actually say, when George Bush, when, think of this, when George Bush was in office.

00:38:09.000 It's about to turn to $6 trillion of debt.

00:38:11.920 It's $20 trillion.

00:38:13.820 Now, most of the government is owned by you, you know, or the government, but there's $6.3 trillion in treasury bills.

00:38:24.240 Those are notes and bonds that are held by foreign countries and companies.

00:38:29.580 And China is the granddaddy of all of them, holding U.S. treasuries totaling $1.2 trillion.

00:38:36.120 Now, that's money we don't have.

00:38:39.880 It's been good for China, helping them keep their currency weaker than the dollar, which is what they want to do.

00:38:45.560 It keeps their exports competitive, and it's been good for us. 0.86

00:38:49.400 Consumer prices for goods remain low, and the government gets to spend more money and spend themselves until they're silly.

00:38:55.760 People try to make everything sound really hard when it comes to government financing, but it isn't.

00:39:03.420 It's actually really easy.

00:39:04.900 If you think of the United States as a giant corporation, and countries like China that purchase our debt in the form of treasuries are like investors or banks.

00:39:17.240 You know, you buy a 10-year treasury, we get that cash, but we have to pay it back with interest in 10 years.

00:39:25.240 So it's really kind of like a bank.

00:39:28.200 Well, yesterday, something interesting happened.

00:39:31.400 The dollar, the treasuries, the stock index futures all declined because there was a rumor that came out from China.

00:39:38.500 And the rumor was that senior government officials in Beijing had recommended slowing or even stopping the purchases of U.S. treasuries.

00:39:48.680 Now, the consequence for this for you is huge.

00:39:53.660 China is our biggest investor.

00:39:56.120 They're our biggest bank.

00:39:57.900 So now, why would they do this now?

00:39:59.680 I don't nobody is talking about the danger in the Chinese economy because the Chinese economy is in trouble right now.

00:40:09.640 The last few years for them have been the worst in 30 years.

00:40:12.880 Like the rest of the world, they never really recovered from 2008 in the financial crisis.

00:40:18.500 Less people are buying their stuff while at the same time their laser labor costs are rising because people in China are like, wait a minute. 1.00

00:40:26.160 They have all this stuff.

00:40:27.340 I kind of want some of that stuff.

00:40:28.660 They've racked up a huge debt with underperforming loans and nearly half a billion people live below their poverty line.

00:40:37.440 Can you imagine what their poverty line is like?

00:40:40.700 So if your family invest in the stock market, but then dad loses his job and starts to miss mortgage payments, do does the bank call in that loan?

00:40:53.560 The bank might call and say, hey, what's going on now?

00:40:56.660 If it was like a Jimmy Stewart bank, they would say, OK, what are you doing?

00:41:00.080 Come on in.

00:41:00.540 Let's look at what you're doing.

00:41:02.180 And if you're saving your money and you're preparing for the hard times and you're doing everything you can and you get a second job, Jimmy Stewart bank is going to say, OK, I believe in you.

00:41:12.580 We'll we'll extend the loan.

00:41:14.120 We're not going to call the mortgage.

00:41:15.540 But if you're just spending like crazy, then what they see trouble.

00:41:22.540 The truth is that we have they have been quietly selling debt and calling in loans since 2016.

00:41:30.180 Japan briefly overtook China as the largest debt holder before they began calling in loans.

00:41:36.860 This leaves us with a couple of choices.

00:41:41.200 The reason why they're not saying these things out loud and they're just rumors is quite honestly, I think, to prepare you.

00:41:50.400 Anybody who's smart heard this rumor knows that in 2016 they did stop buying some of our loans.

00:41:59.140 They did start liquidating some of them, which sends to us the civilians of the world, the ones who are really going to be crushed by this, that we need to tell the government cut the spending.

00:42:12.620 But they won't.

00:42:13.640 They will print money.

00:42:16.640 One thing is clear.

00:42:17.780 The global economy is is primed for something really big.

00:42:22.740 If we print money and we don't curb our spending, we are going to pour gasoline and kerosene and nitroglycerin on a very shaky bonfire.

00:42:45.820 It's Thursday, January 11th.

00:42:48.380 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:52.740 Did you did we go over yesterday about the melt up on radio?

00:43:01.060 I don't know if we did.

00:43:02.160 We did on television.

00:43:03.360 Yeah, you can watch that at the blaze dot com slash TV.

00:43:05.780 Yeah, please watch last night's episode on the blaze.

00:43:08.040 I talked and I put out some charts to show you what a melt up is a melt down in the stock market, you know, a giant crash.

00:43:15.620 But if you look at the the bubble that is coming, I think it's going to I think we are headed for a melt up and I think we're already in it.

00:43:27.480 And they last anywhere from 12 to 36 months, three and a half years, I think, is the longest.

00:43:34.940 And I think we're already in it.

00:43:36.620 And I don't know when it started, but I think it started a while ago.

00:43:43.300 And everybody is saying the stock market is going up.

00:43:46.400 The stock market is going up and it's going up because things are getting better.

00:43:49.800 I think there's something else going on.

00:43:51.840 And it's the beginning of a melt up.

00:43:53.580 And if you look at any big crashes in the world, the stock market will all of a sudden just turbo up.

00:44:03.520 And I don't mean like, oh, it's 20 and now it's 25.

00:44:06.480 I mean, it's 25 and it's going to be 40.

00:44:10.900 And a huge global catastrophe has in the past always begun just like that, that the the the stock market.

00:44:23.580 We'll become and we'll feel society will feel about the stock market a little like they felt about Bitcoin in November, where everyone was talking about it, where everyone is saying, I got a hot stock tip.

00:44:38.700 You got to get you got to get into this stock because the stock is really high.

00:44:42.160 The stock is just going to take off when everyone is behaving on the stock market like they were behaving in November about Bitcoin.

00:44:51.720 That's when you need to run.

00:44:54.820 But one of the predictions that I have made in for 2018 is that we are going to enter and begin to see this melt up.

00:45:06.860 I believe the stock market will be at 30,000 by the end of the year.

00:45:11.020 I think it's everybody says it can't go to 30,000.

00:45:14.280 I think it could go to 40,000 in the next 24 months or 50,000.

00:45:21.120 And then when that happens, it crashes hard and the whole world is in in shambles.

00:45:29.340 So that's one of the things that we've talked about.

00:45:31.660 I urge you to go look at the and they're not predictions.

00:45:34.960 You know, I want to make this really clear.

00:45:36.180 This is more forecasting.

00:45:37.380 You know, when I when I talked about the caliphate and and the housing crisis, I knew in my gut before I did any research.

00:45:48.360 I did research to verify it.

00:45:50.680 I just I just knew it.

00:45:52.160 I could see it.

00:45:53.740 And that is more of a prediction.

00:45:55.780 And that's not necessarily what these are.

00:45:58.480 These are me sitting down and reading a lot and studying a lot and looking at the world in a different way and saying, I think this is what's coming.

00:46:06.660 So this is more forecasting.

00:46:08.860 So anybody who believes in the things that I have talked about, I just want to separate that.

00:46:13.560 I think it's important that you you look at these things as forecasting and not as one of those, you know, caliphate things that I just I knew with everything in me.

00:46:23.460 However, they they all have a trend line that you will be able to to see.

00:46:30.560 And that is what I do know.

00:46:33.840 So yesterday, foreign affairs, because we've posted these at Glenn Beck dot com.

00:46:40.940 And yesterday we posted foreign affairs and went over them.

00:46:43.600 And and we asked you to vote.

00:46:46.980 Which ones do you think are most likely to happen and least likely to happen?

00:46:50.780 And in foreign affairs, Turkey will continue to turn towards religious fascism and will continue to make hard terms towards Sharia law.

00:47:00.460 That got 20 percent of of the listeners saying, yeah, they thought that was they thought that was going to happen.

00:47:08.380 Cultural clashes between immigrants and natives will cause backlash from the public across Western Europe.

00:47:13.260 That will continue.

00:47:14.120 Nineteen percent persecution of Christians, homosexuals, non-Muslim religious minorities. 0.92

00:47:19.040 And those Muslims not deemed Muslim enough will reach new lows for humanity in the Middle East. 1.00

00:47:25.880 I see a massive, massive problem coming beyond anything that we have seen yet. 0.91

00:47:33.080 Another socialist country will see its currency collapse.

00:47:38.340 The the least likely is the one I think is most likely to happen.

00:47:42.320 Strangely, China will land a rover on the dark side of the moon, and it has serious consequences for us militarily.

00:47:52.100 And I think I will be shocked if that doesn't happen by the end of the year.

00:47:58.160 But we'll see.

00:48:01.060 You want to start with today's still?

00:48:03.100 Yeah, we do it.

00:48:04.260 Where do you want to start?

00:48:04.900 There's because this is tech and A.I.

00:48:06.900 And there is a there's a lot of these I've been I have been studying for really hard for about eight months and reading as much as I could on technology and futurist stuff.

00:48:20.460 And and I've been doing that because the world is about to profoundly change in the next 10 years.

00:48:26.740 And 10 years from now, you will not recognize it.

00:48:29.000 And I know I've said that before.

00:48:30.800 You won't recognize the world.

00:48:32.260 And I've been right on that.

00:48:34.320 And when I said that in 2007, there's going to come a time soon where you're going to wake up and you will not recognize your country.

00:48:42.780 And think of what's happened since then.

00:48:44.460 The smartphone.

00:48:46.100 Right.

00:48:47.240 Since 2007, I think that's the year the iPhone came out.

00:48:50.160 Think of how much your life has changed just from that, just from that.

00:48:52.820 But I meant that you're not going to be able to see it with its values and you won't you won't recognize your country.

00:48:58.580 And everything will be upside down, everything that you thought you could trust, you're not going to be able to trust.

00:49:03.980 All of that, I believe, has happened.

00:49:06.340 I feel as strongly about that as I do about saying this in 10 years, you will not recognize your life anymore.

00:49:16.340 Everything is about to change.

00:49:18.800 So go into it with that understanding.

00:49:22.080 Where do you want to start on these?

00:49:23.100 How about this one?

00:49:24.240 Because I think this is definitely possible.

00:49:26.300 But I'm curious as to why you think it's going to happen this year.

00:49:28.220 An AI generated image or audio file will be used to hoax the public.

00:49:33.000 So I don't think we're going to find out about this one.

00:49:36.100 I think I put this in here because I think we are so close to this that it is possible that this comes out because of the midterm election.

00:49:45.260 If it's not going to happen here, it will happen by 2020.

00:49:48.720 We are so in the highest levels.

00:49:54.500 You can hoax almost anything.

00:49:57.340 Now you can make anyone look like it's like they're doing something they shouldn't be doing at the very highest levels.

00:50:07.140 And it's real.

00:50:08.260 And once this is just a little farther ahead, you'll be able to destroy your adversary by releasing an audio tape or a video of them doing or saying something that they swore they would never do.

00:50:26.560 And by the time you figure out about it, the day to figure it out, the damage will be done like a like a sex tape or corruption.

00:50:35.340 Like, for example, let's say let's say this.

00:50:36.980 I do not believe the Russian thing on Donald Trump and the golden shower thing. 0.51

00:50:41.380 Do not believe it for this for this one reason alone.

00:50:44.880 He's too much of a germaphobe.

00:50:46.800 That is true.

00:50:47.840 Seriously.

00:50:48.360 Yeah, he's too much of a germaphobe.

00:50:50.120 He would not do that.

00:50:52.740 But if they released a tape and and you it was Donald Trump.

00:51:00.480 You would say, oh, my gosh, I guess he did do it.

00:51:04.440 And it would never that imprint would never go away.

00:51:07.700 Even if you found out later, six months later, that was totally bogus.

00:51:14.480 We are not going or entering a time because one of the others is the general population will begin to realize that you can no longer trust what you hear, see, taste or touch as a test of something being authentic.

00:51:27.380 I mean, that's how do you judge life at that point?

00:51:30.460 OK, well, remember, we changed in the dark ages.

00:51:33.480 This is why this is so important.

00:51:34.740 And the word nonsense was an it was a public uprising.

00:51:41.460 OK, that came from the churches saying, I know, I know God tells me.

00:51:48.580 And so you have to do those things.

00:51:50.660 Well, the people rose up eventually and they were like, you know what?

00:51:52.880 I'm not.

00:51:53.320 No, no.

00:51:54.820 The king is just born and he says, I know.

00:51:59.400 And the church backs him up.

00:52:01.320 No.

00:52:01.760 So the word nonsense was don't believe nonsense.

00:52:07.140 Don't believe the things that you can't see, hear, touch, smell or taste.

00:52:14.280 Don't believe it.

00:52:15.580 That's nonsense.

00:52:18.820 We are about to go into a place to where you're going to have to say nonsense is the only thing that I can trust.

00:52:28.720 First, we have to the most important things that you can teach your children right now.

00:52:35.020 One, teach your children to think out of the box.

00:52:38.160 I'm I am this close to saying publicly and in my own life, my kids will never go to college.

00:52:47.620 I do not want them going to college.

00:52:51.380 And I reason why is because they will be they will be taught what to think.

00:52:57.820 They will go into a box and the world is not in that box anymore.

00:53:03.940 So the most thing, the most important thing you can teach your kids is how to find information and to stay nimble mentally.

00:53:14.080 Don't get locked down into anything because life is going to change so many times so fast in their life.

00:53:20.880 They have to be nimble.

00:53:23.640 A education, the way education is being done right now will not help them.

00:53:29.200 It will harm them, deeply harm them in the future, I believe.

00:53:34.560 The other thing that you can teach your kids is.

00:53:38.520 How do I?

00:53:41.560 How do I know that that's true?

00:53:44.660 How do I not not not just how can I search for the truth, but what do I feel about that?

00:53:50.880 Are there are there are there gifts are there tools that you have internally that can help you cipher the truth away for you to be able to go?

00:54:05.320 That's not right.

00:54:06.620 There's something wrong there.

00:54:09.020 Those two skills will put your children way ahead.

00:54:14.060 Everything else will be secondary to those two skills.

00:54:17.220 More on the on the rest of the high tech coming up in just a second.

00:54:22.360 So you can go to Glenn Beck dot com right now and see the predictions, all of them for technology that we're going to go through.

00:54:34.240 Some of them here today, as well as you can look at the predictions for foreign affairs, for politics.

00:54:41.240 And then tomorrow, there's a kind of a cryptocurrency one that goes out.

00:54:44.780 You can get that early if you sign up for the newsletter at Glenn Beck dot com.

00:54:47.900 OK, you have heard me talk for years about Goldline and Goldline is the place that I buy gold and and the only place that I would recommend.

00:54:59.500 I know these people have been with them for 10 years.

00:55:02.260 I know how they treat people and I know what gold is worth.

00:55:06.720 Now, I buy gold as an insurance policy against insanity.

00:55:10.900 I don't buy it as an investment.

00:55:13.720 However, I've been reading a lot lately about people saying that gold is about to hit new highs this year.

00:55:21.080 I don't I don't read that stuff about gold because I don't buy it for that.

00:55:25.280 I buy it, although it's made a lot of money since I first bought it.

00:55:30.560 I buy it because.

00:55:33.240 The world always comes back here when things go nuts.

00:55:37.180 It always, always comes back to gold from Moses to, you know, Bretton Woods right after World War Two.

00:55:46.060 When things have to be reset, it resets on gold.

00:55:50.400 It is something that I hope I never have to, you know, lay my hands on and use.

00:55:54.320 I hope to pass it on to my children so they can lay it on their hands if the world ever goes truly nuts.

00:56:00.720 Right now, Goldline is having a sale.

00:56:02.360 It's it's a sale that they had last year.

00:56:05.380 I can't believe it gold sale, but it is because they've just been purchased by one of the largest gold wholesalers in in the world.

00:56:14.440 I think it is the largest in the United States.

00:56:16.920 And so with the new ownership, they have they can buy it in bulk and they buy it at lower cost so they can pass that savings on to you.

00:56:24.560 So I want you to find out what's going on now at Goldline and prepare yourself.

00:56:29.160 Goldline 1-866-GOLDLINE 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:56:35.380 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:56:47.740 Glenn Beck.

00:56:48.940 There's so many of these forecasts here for 2018 that I've made on technology that I that I want you to go to Glenn Beck dot com.

00:56:57.560 I'm going to race through a couple of them here.

00:56:59.280 Cord cutting will continue to pick up pace as Amazon and others begin to serve linear needs.

00:57:04.160 So in other words, Amazon, you're going to start settling down on Amazon or Netflix, and they're going to start introducing like linear channels.

00:57:13.900 And you're going to be able to be basically a cable company yourself.

00:57:18.820 You're going to say, I want Glenn Beck, and I want Ben Shapiro, and I want CRTV, and there'll be called skinny bundles, and they'll start.

00:57:27.080 You'll be your own cable company.

00:57:29.100 That's about to happen.

00:57:30.500 Personal assistants such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Home are going to begin to penetrate the market.

00:57:35.080 Our creepiness is going to go away, and we're going to start really start to like those things.

00:57:39.000 I would say that one's already happening, but you're saying to a real big level.

00:57:42.180 To a bigger level, and you'll see why later.

00:57:44.100 Battery performance could double in this year, and quantum computers for the first time will compute something that could not be done by traditional computers.

00:57:53.460 Glenn Beck.

00:57:54.820 Mercury.

00:57:55.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:10.300 Try to do a forecast of the things that I think are going to happen.

00:58:14.400 Some of them are fun.

00:58:15.540 Some of them, you know, not so much fun.

00:58:18.120 Things that you need to be aware of.

00:58:20.980 And, you know, I have no idea.

00:58:23.020 There's 40 of them.

00:58:24.260 And they cover all topics.

00:58:27.640 And, you know, next year at this time, we'll be going through them and probably making fun of a lot.

00:58:32.960 Oh, I'll definitely be mocking you for every one you get wrong and ignoring all the ones you get right.

00:58:36.300 Yes, of course.

00:58:37.360 There's no problem with that.

00:58:40.120 So let's go through some of these.

00:58:42.000 These are tech.

00:58:42.860 Today is tech.

00:58:43.840 Yeah, technology.

00:58:44.600 And this is an interesting thing because you've been reading so many tech books.

00:58:48.200 Really dozens?

00:58:49.480 I mean, over the past like six months.

00:58:51.640 Yeah.

00:58:51.880 And I don't want to read all of those.

00:58:55.020 So this what I feel like is like you've read them all.

00:58:57.300 And then you can crystallize what you think all of these things are kind of coming together on.

00:59:00.740 And that's what this list is.

00:59:01.680 You can see it at Glenn Beck dot com and vote for the ones you think that will come true in the next year.

00:59:05.660 Consumer AI, artificial intelligence that attempts to gauge our emotions will be introduced.

00:59:10.860 It just happened yesterday at CES.

00:59:15.740 It just happened.

00:59:17.140 Really?

00:59:17.560 There is a story.

00:59:19.040 We'll have to find it.

00:59:19.920 And maybe we can show some pictures of it on TV tonight.

00:59:22.740 There is a story about a ping pong playing robot at CES.

00:59:29.560 And it's not about the fact that it can play ping pong with you.

00:59:33.780 It has cameras up above the table, all directed at you.

00:59:39.860 And it's evaluating your emotions, your emotions, your emotions.

00:59:44.840 Are you frustrated?

00:59:46.540 Are you confident?

00:59:49.000 How are you playing?

00:59:50.600 And it's it's it's trying to get engage and see your emotions.

00:59:57.340 And the reason why this is important, this is not just a fun thing, is this this is to do a couple of things.

01:00:06.680 And in fact, let me look here.

01:00:09.520 Deep learning robots.

01:00:10.740 Can we come back to the emotion thing?

01:00:12.960 Sure.

01:00:12.980 Okay, because there's three of these that are kind of tied together.

01:00:16.320 Deep learning robots will become more important in medicine.

01:00:21.680 When I found this out, I couldn't believe it.

01:00:24.840 There is a you know what Big Blue is?

01:00:26.780 IBM's Big Blue.

01:00:27.680 Yeah.

01:00:28.020 Is that a chess playing computer?

01:00:29.680 Yeah.

01:00:29.780 Okay.

01:00:30.520 So the chess playing thing is called narrow AI.

01:00:35.080 It's not it's not thinking.

01:00:37.840 It's you've just put in every possible chess move into Big Blue.

01:00:43.980 And so it's just looking at all of the chess moves that have ever been done and how they went.

01:00:49.540 And then it sees Gary move a piece and it's like, okay, he's probably going to go do this.

01:00:53.380 So I'm going to do this chess move.

01:00:55.080 Okay.

01:00:55.240 That's called narrow AI.

01:00:57.220 And the only thing that Big Blue can do is play chess.

01:01:01.400 There's another one.

01:01:02.380 I don't remember what it's called.

01:01:03.260 IBM then put a Jeopardy computer on and it gave it all the information.

01:01:07.680 And all it's doing is looking at all of that information and trying to get to the answer faster than the human.

01:01:15.260 Okay.

01:01:15.940 Still narrow AI.

01:01:20.040 There's narrow AI that I can't remember the name of the hospital now.

01:01:26.660 Shoot.

01:01:27.640 It's not Columbia.

01:01:28.900 It's up in it's up in New York.

01:01:30.920 General Hospital.

01:01:31.740 Yes.

01:01:32.080 General Hospital.

01:01:33.160 Right.

01:01:33.560 Yeah.

01:01:33.720 With Luke and Laura.

01:01:34.860 Drama there.

01:01:35.240 Right.

01:01:35.580 I mean, crazy. 0.96

01:01:36.120 Do some freaking medical stuff. 0.96

01:01:37.960 Right. 0.59

01:01:38.320 So I think it's Sloan Kettering that is doing this.

01:01:42.020 They got together with IBM and they said, IBM said, you know what?

01:01:45.640 I wonder if we could do this for cancer.

01:01:48.260 I wonder if we could put all of the cancer results that we've ever had, all the diagnosis, all the treatments, all it from all of the records of anybody who has come into Sloan Kettering and and said, I think I have cancer.

01:02:03.800 Put all of that information in and let's see if the computer can diagnose cancer better than humans.

01:02:13.180 The best Sloan Kettering doctors, I mean, the best cancer doctors are about 50 to 55 percent on catching cancer early.

01:02:23.020 Big blue or this IBM computer that is the narrow AI on cancer is now in the 90s.

01:02:30.180 OK, so you think that you want a doctor that is a human.

01:02:38.260 This is only doing Sloan Kettering. 1.00

01:02:40.880 There is another company that has just come out and I'll give you the name maybe tomorrow or something because I just don't have it off the top of my head that saw this and went, well, this is stupid. 0.97

01:02:51.520 Why are they just doing it with Sloan Kettering? 0.81

01:02:54.100 Let's gather all cancer stuff.

01:02:57.300 Let's gather every single case from around the world.

01:03:00.160 Let's put the NIH in it. 0.50

01:03:01.600 Let's put everything from the United States in it, because the more information it has, the more accurate it becomes.

01:03:07.780 OK, and so they're starting to gather all of this data.

01:03:11.560 Who's going to go to a doctor?

01:03:15.500 Who's going to go to a human when you have a 40 percent you have a 40 40 percent better chance of getting your cancer diagnosed?

01:03:28.340 Then you do with a human, right?

01:03:29.980 You want the best outcome possible.

01:03:31.540 Yeah.

01:03:31.560 Have you run this through the computer?

01:03:32.700 Yeah, you want I want to know.

01:03:33.740 Do you run this through the computer?

01:03:35.420 So now computers are going to that's the first step.

01:03:38.560 They're going to start diagnosing and start doing surgery.

01:03:41.560 So they're going to play a bigger role in in medicine with deep learning robots.

01:03:47.780 The next thing is nurses and doctors. 1.00

01:03:53.260 Imagine you're sitting with an AI and they have to tell you have cancer.

01:03:58.700 OK, and you're really upset if it's just a cold.

01:04:03.840 You have cancer.

01:04:05.500 You've got three months cancer, right?

01:04:07.660 Nobody will want it.

01:04:09.960 There's a huge shortage of nurses already in America. 1.00

01:04:13.340 By 2020, I can't remember the number.

01:04:16.980 It's an it's an astounding number of nurses that we're going to be short of already. 0.76

01:04:22.860 I think it's 40 percent of all nurses come from the Philippines coming in from the United States.

01:04:28.060 We are we are not we don't we're not producing nurses and we're going to need a lot more nurses than we have now.

01:04:34.640 But definitely in five and 10 years from now is the population gets older.

01:04:38.980 So what do we do?

01:04:40.440 So they're looking into the possibility of AI nursing.

01:04:44.240 But that's where emotions are critical.

01:04:49.120 So the ping pong playing tennis guy, that's not it's just not a game.

01:04:55.920 They're introducing it as a game.

01:04:57.940 But what that is, is they need to be able to make computers recognize your emotion and and then reflect that emotion in appropriate ways, because in 10 years from now, you go someplace to check in to a hotel or whatever.

01:05:16.060 An average hotel, not a really nice one, because they probably will have people.

01:05:20.100 It's just going to be a computer there and it's going to it's going to relate to you.

01:05:23.780 It'll be a I and it needs to be able to relate or to relate to people emotionally so they can reflect whatever the you're in a restaurant and you're being served by a I.

01:05:35.220 And it's your it's your anniversary.

01:05:38.180 It needs to be able to pick up on that and reflect it.

01:05:42.200 And, you know, you're really mad because you had a bad meal.

01:05:45.500 It needs to understand that.

01:05:47.060 That's a creepy world, though.

01:05:48.660 And there's a lot of creepiness in that until we get used to it.

01:05:50.940 So it's a creepy world because of this.

01:05:53.520 Right now, we are teaching it how we feel and then we're teaching it how to fake those feelings.

01:06:04.000 We know right now it can't feel so it can't genuinely reflect those feelings back.

01:06:10.780 It doesn't have genuine compassion.

01:06:13.480 We're teaching it how to fake compassion.

01:06:16.400 So my problem with this is for the future, when we do have a SI artificial super intelligence, which will claim to be alive.

01:06:28.380 I don't want to have spent 10, 15, 20 years teaching it how to lie.

01:06:33.980 You know what I mean?

01:06:34.940 Yeah.

01:06:35.180 How to recognize what we're feeling and then be able to play off of those feelings.

01:06:41.980 Yeah.

01:06:42.560 I mean, it's interesting because a lot of times we talk about these topics and they're.

01:06:46.680 Positioned in the negative.

01:06:49.420 And there's a lot of creepiness kind of surrounding what you're talking about.

01:06:52.760 But you're also talking about massive improvements in health care, massive improvements in diagnosing your disease and treating your diseases.

01:07:01.220 I mean, we could wind up, you know, doubling and tripling our lifetimes.

01:07:05.840 So let me give you let me give you this one.

01:07:09.600 I make it.

01:07:10.560 This is way out on a limb.

01:07:11.940 But two major illnesses will be cured by new advances in medicine this year.

01:07:19.100 This is way out.

01:07:20.180 I think this has a very low chance of happening, but it could through gene splicing.

01:07:24.900 We're now starting to go in and gene splice and we're getting we're we're making real progress on things like hemophilia and sickle cell anemia.

01:07:35.600 Those could go away.

01:07:39.920 Soon.

01:07:41.420 And it's because of the deep learning robots, the deep learning artificial intelligence and things like gene splicing.

01:07:51.620 We're we're we're we're we're entering territory that I think we will cure cancer.

01:07:58.100 I don't know.

01:07:59.140 In the next 10 years, maybe.

01:08:00.700 Wow.

01:08:01.500 And and and when we start to have artificial general intelligence, a step down from the spooky intelligence, when we have artificial general intelligence, when we have deep learning robots that have all of the information on cancer.

01:08:14.680 All of a sudden, that's going to turbo when you feed every bit of information into that computer, if it's already twice as good at diagnosis today, when we feed all of the information in cancer, it's it's going to be able to look at you way in advance and go cancer, get it.

01:08:33.300 And I think those outcomes are going to be so positive that the downsides of losing our privacy and giving up all of our information and all of those things are going to seem so inconsequential.

01:08:44.440 And in reality, those are going to be big debates that are important.

01:08:47.000 I will tell you that, you know, I kind of want to go into if we have time.

01:08:53.380 You heard my theory yesterday of one of the questions that I asked about, you know, we were talking about, you know, the future and I talked about bionic arms.

01:09:03.300 We have questions that have to be answered today because in five years from now, you're going to you're going to be asked ethical questions that you won't know how to answer.

01:09:15.640 I'll give you a from based on the bionic man, better, stronger, faster.

01:09:20.640 I'll give that to you when we come back.

01:09:33.300 I want to talk to you a little bit about blinds.com.

01:09:46.500 Blinds.com is the easiest and most inexpensive way to really, truly change the look of your home.

01:09:54.940 So Tanya and I have experienced blinds.com now several times.

01:10:00.080 Last time we did it in our bedroom and it was the first time that I used one of their, you know, one of their consultants because I just didn't know.

01:10:09.500 I was looking, you know, there's so much stuff, blind shade, shutters, drapes, everything.

01:10:13.680 And I don't know, I don't, you know, sometimes you get too much information.

01:10:18.420 So we reached out to one of their, their consultants and man, the service was the best.

01:10:25.980 Same thing happened to Mark in Arizona.

01:11:50.460 Glenn Beck.

01:11:52.460 Okay.

01:11:54.000 We're, we're, uh, Stu's, we're live on, uh, Facebook, uh, now because we had to ask the Facebook audience.

01:12:00.500 We are so, um, we're both a little high on NyQuil today.

01:12:04.660 Yes.

01:12:04.940 Um, heavily drugged.

01:12:06.400 Yeah.

01:12:07.360 So I'm not good at this anyway, but I cannot remember what we, cause I think I said right

01:12:14.860 before we went into the break and I'll tell you about that when we come back.

01:12:18.240 But Stu has absolutely no idea of what we were talking about because he's hepped up on NyQuil.

01:12:24.560 Sarah, do you know, global warming?

01:12:27.820 No, no, it wasn't global warming.

01:12:29.500 It was something to do with, uh, hamsters was no, wasn't hamsters.

01:12:34.260 No, I will say they're not helpful now.

01:12:36.060 They're not helpful.

01:12:36.960 Now they're just suggesting strange things.

01:12:38.580 Oh, bionic arms.

01:12:39.420 Oh, bionic arms.

01:12:40.200 That's what it was.

01:12:40.720 Thank you.

01:12:41.160 Okay.

01:12:41.380 So bionic arms, David.

01:12:42.720 So think about this right now.

01:12:45.500 We look at losing an arm or a limb.

01:12:47.420 That's a really bad thing.

01:12:48.700 Okay.

01:12:49.040 Um, and, and it's a bad thing mainly because they don't work as well.

01:12:54.260 Okay.

01:12:54.700 It's, you know, you're strapping something on.

01:12:56.460 It's not, it's just, it's not, it's, it's, it's, it doesn't work.

01:13:00.560 But imagine if you could be the $6 million man.

01:13:03.120 Do you remember the Lee Majors show with $6 million man, better, stronger, faster.

01:13:07.740 It looked like an arm.

01:13:09.100 Nobody knew that it wasn't his legs worked.

01:13:11.500 He could run super fast.

01:13:12.840 All of that.

01:13:13.560 We're entering that time.

01:13:15.640 Okay.

01:13:16.080 Now we're also entering a time to where you can say, you know what?

01:13:22.940 I'm a woman.

01:13:23.920 Cut it off.

01:13:25.640 And we do.

01:13:28.300 What happens when you say, and I'm just making this up.

01:13:31.860 I am a, I'm a sculptor and my arms and my, and my hands are not strong enough for me to

01:13:39.680 really sculpt the way I want to sculpt.

01:13:42.180 Doctor, cut my arms off. 0.98

01:13:43.700 I want these arms because these arms have been designed by me and a team to be the best

01:13:49.320 for sculpting.

01:13:50.300 And you can essentially 3d print whatever sculpture you want.

01:13:53.620 And no, you 3d print your arms.

01:13:55.380 Well, yeah, but the arms will essentially do the work of a 3d printer on a sculpture, right?

01:13:59.160 Like they'll just design the perfect thing, right?

01:14:01.040 You'll be able to still think and use, but they will be better, stronger, faster.

01:14:05.260 You, you want to.

01:14:07.020 And the reason why I'm thinking this way is because there's a guy who was in a mountain

01:14:13.940 climbing accident.

01:14:14.760 He, he lived to mountain climb.

01:14:16.900 He said he'd never walk again.

01:14:18.540 He lost his legs.

01:14:19.600 Um, so he decided to take his time instead of feeling sorry for himself.

01:14:23.280 He went to MIT.

01:14:24.500 He designed new legs.

01:14:26.840 Okay.

01:14:27.800 And the new legs, he designed feet that are really super small.

01:14:32.300 So when he's on the mountain, they can fit into little teeny crevices.

01:14:36.000 He's now a better mountain climber than anybody else.

01:14:39.280 And he's like, this is great.

01:14:42.740 Okay, well, let's just, let's play this out.

01:14:45.200 What's going to stop people from saying, because we're already saying I'm a woman, cut it off.

01:14:53.240 What's going to stop people from saying, I have a right to cut off my limbs and replace 0.65

01:14:58.120 them with this.

01:14:59.980 Is that right?

01:15:01.100 Is that wrong?

01:15:02.180 Should you, should you not?

01:15:04.360 Those are the kinds of easy questions coming our way.

01:15:07.160 So do you really believe in freedom of speech?

01:15:23.040 Do you really believe in the First Amendment?

01:15:26.340 I do.

01:15:27.600 And it means that you have to stand up for even the voices that you strongly disagree with.

01:15:33.380 In fact, it may be more important to stand up for those voices that you really don't

01:15:38.020 agree with, but people are trying to shut down.

01:15:40.280 First Amendment not to be trifled with.

01:15:42.580 And yet it seems to happen somewhere in the country every day now, every day.

01:15:48.680 This week in Louisiana, a female middle school English teacher was arrested for speaking at

01:15:55.200 her school board meeting.

01:15:58.100 Her crime?

01:15:59.260 Apparently asking why the school district's superintendent was getting a $30,000 raise when teachers and

01:16:06.160 other support staff haven't received a raise in over 10 years.

01:16:11.060 I don't know.

01:16:11.920 That seems like a pretty fair question.

01:16:13.580 She pointed out that the district improved test scores.

01:16:16.580 The state's rankings due to the efforts of the teachers are rising, and yet they continue

01:16:21.480 to deal with much larger class sizes and no more money for 10 years.

01:16:26.600 The teacher, Daisha Hargrave, was not being disruptive.

01:16:34.120 She stood to speak with permission from the meeting chairman after he had opened the floor

01:16:38.960 for audience comments, but the school board didn't like what she was questioning.

01:16:45.000 Okay.

01:16:46.380 Did they feel unsafe?

01:16:49.860 One board member pounded his gavel and told her, stop, stop right now. 0.99

01:16:54.300 It's not germane to what's on the agenda.

01:16:56.600 She was then approached by a police officer who told her she had to leave.

01:17:00.220 She walked herself out of the room, but the officer followed her in the hallway.

01:17:04.700 People attending the meeting could hear a commotion as she was suddenly handcuffed on the floor, 1.00

01:17:10.640 led out of the building, put into a patrol car and taken to jail.

01:17:17.960 You know, oh my gosh.

01:17:20.160 This is a public meeting.

01:17:22.780 The floor was open for public comment.

01:17:26.700 Hargrave is a citizen exercising her right to speak and, dare I quote the Declaration of Independence

01:17:34.740 and the Bill of Rights, petition her government.

01:17:39.460 What happened to her?

01:17:40.800 She was silenced and carted off to jail. 0.98

01:17:43.180 Fortunately, a local TV station was covering the school board meeting and got it all on camera

01:17:49.280 and the footage has gone viral.

01:17:51.500 After reviewing the footage, the local city prosecutor decided,

01:17:55.740 oh, you know what, we're not going to press charges.

01:17:59.200 Oh.

01:18:00.560 Well, I think Hargrave should.

01:18:02.320 This is unconstitutional.

01:18:08.240 This is the definition of why the First Amendment is in there.

01:18:14.980 By the way, the school board approved the superintendent's raise at that meeting.

01:18:21.040 The teachers are going to wait for theirs.

01:18:23.860 Meanwhile, at least they have an, you know, an object lesson about the importance of the First Amendment

01:18:29.880 to take back to their students.

01:18:31.180 And this is one time that I hope those teachers are teaching that lesson.

01:18:38.340 Because America just doesn't seem to understand what freedom of speech really is and what it's for.

01:18:55.700 It's Thursday, January 11th.

01:18:58.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:01.180 I'd love to, I'd love to get Ms. Hargrave on with us. 0.96

01:19:06.160 I, I, this is amazing to me.

01:19:09.740 If this isn't what the First Amendment is about, I don't know what the First Amendment is for.

01:19:15.280 Here's a private citizen standing up and questioning her government.

01:19:18.780 And she has every right to do that. 0.91

01:19:22.920 And they haul her away in handcuffs. 0.98

01:19:25.240 Well, we know the First Amendment is for, it's for protecting hardcore pornography.

01:19:28.880 That is what it was designed to do.

01:19:31.380 Yeah.

01:19:31.560 And now it does.

01:19:33.900 Yeah.

01:19:34.300 It does that really well.

01:19:35.240 Yeah.

01:19:35.380 It does that really well.

01:19:36.580 Yeah, you're right.

01:19:37.120 I mean, this is a fundamental thing, right?

01:19:38.460 You're supposed to be able to go to the government and say, this is my problem.

01:19:41.640 That's, that's the exact type of thing that was not available to our founders overseas.

01:19:48.100 That's exactly what King George did.

01:19:50.220 This is why we broke away.

01:19:52.080 You couldn't question.

01:19:54.220 You couldn't question.

01:19:55.420 And if you questioned, you were an enemy and they threw you in jail.

01:19:58.840 It is really phenomenal to me how out of control our government is and local government too.

01:20:07.360 We have taught them all the wrong lessons that they are in charge of us.

01:20:12.480 You should never be afraid of the school board.

01:20:16.160 The school board should fear you in strange ways.

01:20:21.080 The local government at times can be worse than the federal government.

01:20:25.140 They don't have the power, but they, they don't have the eyeballs on them either.

01:20:28.900 And a lot of times when they start doing something shady or wrong, or someone has an agenda or, uh, some personal vendetta against an individual citizen, really crazy stuff can happen.

01:20:40.560 I can't think of any, anything like that, like some guy trying to build a fence in his own yard and, and the, uh, and the, and the town allowing everybody else in town to do it, but not him.

01:20:53.380 Yeah. 0.95

01:20:53.460 But you're awful. 0.99

01:20:54.120 And I support them in that one. 0.98

01:20:55.120 Okay.

01:20:55.380 Um, but no, that's true.

01:20:57.340 And, uh, I mean, we've seen this with, um, people losing their children, um, to state agencies for very little or no reason.

01:21:06.420 Uh, people who have had their money taken away at a traffic stop and are never able to reclaim it.

01:21:10.900 Uh, in new Orleans, people to getting their guns taken away, their second amendment, right?

01:21:14.980 Stripped right out and from, um, from under them and never being able to reclaim their property.

01:21:20.700 Not that it should have ever been taken in the first place.

01:21:22.640 This happens all over America.

01:21:24.560 We talked about it with, um, elderly people.

01:21:26.820 This is a few weeks before we went on vacation, uh, elderly people in homes, um, that have their children visiting them every day or every, every, a couple of days.

01:21:36.520 And not in homes like, Oh, mom's in the home.

01:21:39.440 Right.

01:21:39.700 Just in her home, like a retirement or a retirement community or, or whatever assisted living.

01:21:44.780 Um, and people come in and say, ah, your, your kids aren't really taking care of you.

01:21:48.080 We're going to move you to another home and take all your belongings to pay for it. 0.82

01:21:50.720 And there's, it takes months or years until they get this reverse.

01:21:54.140 If it gets done.

01:21:54.840 And when you complain, the judge and the caretaker, the guardian now of your parents who are getting rich off of your parents, they're bleeding them dry.

01:22:05.840 Yeah.

01:22:06.400 Um, and then changing their prescriptions.

01:22:08.240 They have a right there.

01:22:09.300 They actually had a right to go in and talk to the doctors and change their prescriptions.

01:22:14.700 Uh, they were killing them.

01:22:16.200 Um, and this is, this was not an isolated incident.

01:22:21.980 Uh, and when you complain, that guardian says you have small children at home.

01:22:27.720 Maybe we should look into you.

01:22:29.180 I mean, it's crazy.

01:22:31.460 It's crazy what's happening.

01:22:33.220 That's why one of my, my, one of my predictions we talked about yesterday, or one of the, you

01:22:36.660 know, things that I'm, I'm looking at forecasting for 2018 was this revival of a freedom movement.

01:22:43.660 And if the people who are truly consistent on freedom can see right now, you know what?

01:22:54.020 Liberals are not my enemy.

01:22:56.120 They're not my enemy.

01:22:57.380 And if liberals can say conservatives are not my enemy, progressives are the trouble.

01:23:08.300 Progressives.

01:23:09.160 They're the ones that don't believe in the constitution being equally applied.

01:23:15.060 It's not a liberal.

01:23:16.380 I don't, I don't, you want to believe all kinds of crazy things and yeah, that's fine.

01:23:22.040 That's fine.

01:23:23.120 You can do that.

01:23:24.320 I support you.

01:23:25.400 I'll stand up for your right to say whatever it is, but don't force me to do those things.

01:23:32.360 Don't force others to do those things.

01:23:34.900 You don't have a right to force me.

01:23:37.020 I don't have a right to force you into my church.

01:23:40.320 I don't have a right to force you to go to church.

01:23:43.080 I don't have a right to force you to believe in God.

01:23:46.640 I don't have a right to do that.

01:23:48.480 And you don't have a right to, to, to, you know, tear me apart because I do.

01:23:54.200 Yeah.

01:23:54.600 We were talking about this yesterday.

01:23:55.760 I mean, I shouldn't say that you have a right to tear me apart, but you don't have a right

01:23:59.000 to destroy my life and force me not to.

01:24:02.040 We were talking about this on TV yesterday with the Google diversity story.

01:24:07.420 James Damore, who was, if you remember, fired because he's basically said men and women

01:24:11.540 are kind of different and really with no hatred at all.

01:24:15.400 I mean, no, he was making a very good point.

01:24:17.240 Look, there, there is a reason, you know, when he, when he's talking about tech and let

01:24:22.060 me just try to really dumb this down to my level.

01:24:25.100 He's talking about tech.

01:24:26.200 He said, you know, guys are more interested in tech than women are. 0.83

01:24:30.220 They're just, there's more guys in tech because it just fits their interests.

01:24:34.720 It fits their expertise.

01:24:35.820 I mean, how many, how many women do you know that, uh, you know, politely listened to their 1.00

01:24:42.160 husband as they talk about the new TV that's out the new, whatever that's out.

01:24:46.120 Oh my gosh, this is the greatest thing.

01:24:47.700 And generally speaking, women are like, okay, I got it. 1.00

01:24:52.300 I got it.

01:24:52.740 Not as, not as likely to be interested in the topic.

01:24:55.020 Correct.

01:24:55.540 Right.

01:24:56.100 So I have two kids, four and six.

01:24:57.840 And, you know, we didn't start an agenda when we got, when we, when they were born and

01:25:02.060 be like, we need to make sure that we treat this boy so that he likes sports.

01:25:05.820 And he likes Nerf guns.

01:25:07.060 Correct.

01:25:07.260 And we have to make sure that she likes frozen and she likes Barbie. 0.99

01:25:10.400 We didn't have a big plan to do that.

01:25:12.940 Correct.

01:25:13.140 That happened though.

01:25:14.860 Uh, and it happens, you know, in all the overwhelming percentage of change of cases,

01:25:20.180 not in every case, but the overwhelming majority.

01:25:22.300 That's not something that you shouldn't be able to notice.

01:25:24.360 Right.

01:25:24.560 And you shouldn't, you shouldn't also, if your kid, you know, if your boy is not into sports,

01:25:29.640 I wasn't into sports.

01:25:31.440 My dad never forced me and questioned me like, what, why, why, why?

01:25:35.040 You're supposed to be into sports.

01:25:36.380 Well, I wasn't into sports.

01:25:38.200 So there's nothing wrong with that either.

01:25:40.240 So it's not like you force them into those things, but generally speaking, they do that.

01:25:44.860 So what he was saying was, look, because they're generally speaking, they don't feel the same

01:25:50.380 about tech as boys do when they're boys.

01:25:54.340 Second of all, because they prioritize things differently.

01:25:58.540 Yeah.

01:25:58.980 Guys prioritize work going in, finding value in work, et cetera, et cetera.

01:26:05.560 Much more than women. 0.98

01:26:08.300 They, I would say they're probably more healthy, but it's a good balance to have.

01:26:13.640 They prioritize family.

01:26:16.240 They prioritize children.

01:26:18.260 They prioritize, you know, let's simplify our life.

01:26:21.680 We don't need all this stuff, that kind of stuff.

01:26:23.460 Yeah.

01:26:23.700 And those are hasty generalizations because I know women who are not like that. 0.99

01:26:29.180 And that's okay too.

01:26:30.760 Of course, generalizations are not designed to catch every little case.

01:26:33.660 That's not what a generalization is.

01:26:35.280 And to bring this full circle to where we started the show today, it explains those differences

01:26:39.600 explain almost every cent of the quote unquote pay gap between men and women.

01:26:45.180 Yes. 0.81

01:26:45.400 You know, we talked about the Mark Wahlberg story earlier today and you know, it's ridiculous. 0.99

01:26:50.880 It's a ridiculous story. 0.88

01:26:52.240 You can go back to hour one if you, if you want to hear that. 0.76

01:26:54.640 But it's the idea that there's this big pay gap is explained by prioritizing and choices

01:26:59.860 almost exclusively.

01:27:01.620 I mean, it winds up going away, but I was interested in what from last night, you found a quote from

01:27:06.660 a Google engineer after this whole, this is terrifying, this whole scenario went down.

01:27:11.380 Listen to this, listen to this thinking, you know, there are certain alternatives.

01:27:15.400 Alternative views, including different political views, which I do not want people to feel

01:27:20.260 safe to share here.

01:27:21.720 My tolerance ends at my friend's terror.

01:27:24.800 You can believe that women or minorities are unqualified all you want. 0.53

01:27:27.620 I can't stop you.

01:27:28.580 But if you say it out loud, then you deserve what's coming to you.

01:27:31.560 Yes, this is silencing.

01:27:33.300 I intend to silence these views.

01:27:35.680 They are violently offensive.

01:27:37.460 Take your false equivalence and your fake symmetry and shove them hard up where the sun don't

01:27:42.100 shine.

01:27:42.900 I mean.

01:27:43.560 Do you want to talk about intolerance?

01:27:45.520 That's intolerance.

01:27:46.420 First of all, he wasn't saying that they're not qualified.

01:27:49.420 He's not saying that.

01:27:51.280 He's he's saying you're you're looking at something that is natural and you're trying to go against

01:27:58.600 nature and you're trying to force this.

01:28:02.420 Why?

01:28:03.100 Why force it?

01:28:04.040 Let everyone have an equal opportunity, but stop trying to force things.

01:28:11.900 There are natural reasons why we're in the situation that we're in.

01:28:15.740 And if it's because women aren't given a chance, then that one we fix. 1.00

01:28:19.500 If that's what it is, then we really concentrate that and fix that.

01:28:23.200 But if it is because they're really not interested in the same degree as men.

01:28:29.000 You know, how many women grow up and go, I want to be a football player? 1.00

01:28:34.860 Well, OK, so not very many.

01:28:38.460 And if there are, then good.

01:28:40.300 They can start a football league.

01:28:42.100 It probably won't be as successful like the women's basketball league, but that's fine.

01:28:47.280 But we don't look at our football team and say, do we have we have to put you know what?

01:28:53.820 We have to have at least 50 women, 50 percent women on this team. 1.00

01:28:56.800 Right.

01:28:57.260 No, no, no.

01:29:00.380 Do the right thing.

01:29:01.620 Stop judging people by their gender, their color.

01:29:04.320 Look at the content of their character.

01:29:06.200 Look at their skills, period.

01:29:08.440 And you notice one of the things that he said in this that really stuck out to me.

01:29:11.920 Read the first couple of lines again, will you?

01:29:13.560 You know, there are certain alternative views, including different political views.

01:29:18.020 Stop.

01:29:19.000 There's a certain alternative views.

01:29:22.820 This coming from the side who has been talking about alternative facts.

01:29:28.660 OK, their argument was there are no alternative facts.

01:29:32.860 Right.

01:29:33.440 OK, he's not saying there are some alternative facts.

01:29:36.240 He's saying there's alternative views, a point of view.

01:29:40.800 I believe we have a God written, given right to our point of view.

01:29:45.500 But listen, here's the real problem.

01:29:47.420 Read on alternative views, including different political views, which I do not want people to feel safe to share here.

01:29:55.220 Stop.

01:29:56.340 I do not want people to feel safe.

01:30:02.220 To express here.

01:30:04.560 There is a difference between feeling uncomfortable.

01:30:07.840 Look, this is it was a really uncomfortable meeting.

01:30:10.560 Why?

01:30:11.200 We disagreed.

01:30:12.100 It was uncomfortable.

01:30:13.300 I've never left a meeting and said I really felt unsafe.

01:30:18.500 We must separate unsafe and uncomfortable.

01:30:24.120 He is saying I don't want them to feel safe here.

01:30:27.360 Well, what does that mean?

01:30:29.020 That means pitchforks, torches.

01:30:32.520 You're going to be beat up.

01:30:34.200 I mean, if this is bully stuff, you want to talk about bullying.

01:30:38.500 There it is.

01:30:40.780 And yet the people at Google cheered.

01:30:55.980 There's going to be six burglaries that happen in America by the time I finish this commercial.

01:31:00.180 Six.

01:31:01.500 So what stops them?

01:31:03.360 Well, SimpliSafe.

01:31:04.760 They don't give up because, you know, a house has a security system.

01:31:10.880 They find another one that doesn't.

01:31:13.000 They find a house that isn't protected.

01:31:14.780 They're looking for the easy thing.

01:31:16.300 That's why securing your home is really, really necessary and easy.

01:31:21.060 A brilliant security system built by SimpliSafe.

01:31:40.320 So when the police arrive, you're like, well, that's them.

01:31:42.500 This is really good and really inexpensive.

01:32:30.880 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:32:42.920 Glenn Beck.

01:32:45.900 Let's take a gym in Ohio.

01:32:47.500 Hello, Jim.

01:32:48.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:32:51.480 Hello.

01:32:52.460 Hey, are you there?

01:32:54.120 Yes, sir.

01:32:54.660 I am here.

01:32:55.500 Just real quick, I heard you talking about Ripple this morning, and I got into Ripple when it was 25 cents back in November.

01:33:01.460 Yeah.

01:33:02.700 It's now, well, exploded.

01:33:04.960 Unfortunately, I'm not as rich as I'd like to be yet.

01:33:07.560 But it is a deflationary currency.

01:33:10.740 So every time there's a Ripple transaction, a little bit of Ripple disappears.

01:33:14.760 Right, right.

01:33:15.320 So that's how it's different than Bitcoin.

01:33:18.580 But there's a lot of people in the crypto sphere that hate it because it is kind of a centralized currency where Bitcoin is decentralized.

01:33:29.700 Right.

01:33:29.960 Right.

01:33:30.100 So how much have you made, Jim, if you don't mind me asking?

01:33:34.840 Is the IRS listening?

01:33:36.200 No, no, no.

01:33:37.160 That's not a good way to answer.

01:33:38.400 Not a good way to answer.

01:33:39.560 Yeah.

01:33:39.700 No, I've only made a couple hundred dollars, but I listened to your show for years, and I remember you saying, just put in what you can afford to lose.

01:33:50.400 Yeah.

01:33:50.860 Don't do anything else.

01:33:51.840 With it being November and Christmas, I didn't have much to lose.

01:33:55.400 So invest a little bit.

01:33:56.880 Good for you.

01:33:57.640 Getting more into it.

01:33:58.800 Good for you.

01:33:59.400 Thanks, Jim.

01:33:59.880 Thank you for your help, and thank you for all you do.

01:34:01.820 And, Stu, go Eagles.

01:34:03.120 Yes.

01:34:04.080 Yes.

01:34:04.400 This is the weekend.

01:34:05.240 The only thing I actually care about is the one thing that finally gets mentioned on Thursday.

01:34:08.340 Wait a minute.

01:34:08.860 Hang on.

01:34:09.780 We're close.

01:34:10.960 Are they in the playoffs?

01:34:11.920 Yeah.

01:34:12.180 They're the number one seed, 13-3, baby.

01:34:14.640 I mean, this could happen for you.

01:34:16.200 Well, I mean, you know, they lost their quarterback.

01:34:17.980 So, I mean, people are not optimistic.

01:34:20.580 And when I say people, I mean a lot of people, including me, probably.

01:34:23.960 I'm never optimistic that they're actually going to win the Super Bowl, but.

01:34:26.560 No.

01:34:27.980 They've never won the Super Bowl.

01:34:28.840 No. 0.81

01:34:29.480 And you've always been like, they're going to screw.

01:34:32.080 You're like Charlie Brown.

01:34:33.720 A little bit.

01:34:34.280 With the Eagles.

01:34:34.680 You're always like, you're hopeful.

01:34:36.100 You're running up to that, and you're like, I'm going to be there.

01:34:38.240 And then you know they're going to pull the football away at the last moment.

01:34:41.740 Well, that's what happened with the quarterback.

01:34:43.100 You've got the MVP of the league.

01:34:44.620 They're the number one seed.

01:34:45.860 They're 13-3.

01:34:47.560 And a couple games before the end of the season, they lose their quarterback, Carson Wentz.

01:34:51.280 Knee, you know, blew out his knee, basically.

01:34:54.140 Maybe God's bad at him.

01:34:55.900 I don't know.

01:34:56.420 He seems to like God quite a bit.

01:34:57.860 Maybe God turns out to be that elephant thing with the 12 arms or whatever it is.

01:35:02.320 That's possible.

01:35:02.900 Well, I know.

01:35:03.300 And he's like, I got enough arms.

01:35:05.020 I'm going to just take his knee out. 1.00

01:35:06.680 Because he's the leader of that group that is, I mean, you're not hearing a lot of this,

01:35:13.980 but enough to just be fascinating on how spiritual the Eagles have become.

01:35:19.880 Yeah.

01:35:20.640 Behind the scenes.

01:35:21.080 And it's all become him, right?

01:35:22.000 Well, he's one of the big parts of it, yeah.

01:35:23.740 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:35:42.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:36:27.560 Welcome to the program, Pat Gray.

01:36:29.280 How are you?

01:36:29.820 I'm good.

01:36:30.560 You?

01:36:30.920 I'm good.

01:36:31.520 I'm good.

01:36:32.260 There's a couple of things.

01:36:34.040 Okay, I guess.

01:36:35.260 It's not that bad.

01:36:36.800 That's good to hear.

01:36:37.620 I mean, good might be an overstatement.

01:36:39.360 Probably.

01:36:39.900 We didn't really care.

01:36:40.860 We didn't really care.

01:36:41.620 I thought we were sensing some concern there.

01:36:43.740 No.

01:36:44.200 Okay.

01:36:44.600 All right.

01:36:45.060 No, it's just something we say.

01:36:46.300 All right.

01:36:46.560 Something we say.

01:36:47.820 There's a couple of things that I want to talk to you about.

01:36:52.100 One, I saved this.

01:36:54.120 You know, I have the...

01:36:55.600 Have you seen my predictions that I've put out for 2018?

01:36:58.160 No, not yet.

01:36:59.180 We just did that yesterday, right?

01:37:01.240 Yeah.

01:37:01.780 I've been extremely busy.

01:37:02.940 Have you?

01:37:03.500 No.

01:37:03.880 Doing...

01:37:04.240 Doing...

01:37:04.840 Yeah.

01:37:05.020 I had to catch up on some TV shows.

01:37:06.480 We're not concerned about that either.

01:37:08.340 Yeah.

01:37:08.580 Just so you're aware.

01:37:10.380 We're not...

01:37:11.000 Why am I here?

01:37:12.200 Well, we don't know.

01:37:13.280 We don't know.

01:37:15.600 Okay.

01:37:15.980 So, here's one.

01:37:17.620 Jeez, I can't find it now.

01:37:19.100 Here's one that I put in here.

01:37:22.560 And I basically put it...

01:37:23.300 Here it is.

01:37:23.740 I put it in for you and Stu.

01:37:25.660 Okay.

01:37:26.140 Prediction for 2018.

01:37:29.580 Yeah.

01:37:30.020 New foods and flavors of common food items through genetics or natural manipulation will

01:37:36.280 be introduced to the public broadly.

01:37:39.220 Okay.

01:37:39.760 Okay.

01:37:40.020 Now, listen to this.

01:37:40.820 Have you heard of the new bubblegum grapes?

01:37:46.160 No.

01:37:47.280 They are genetic.

01:37:47.980 I've had cotton candy grapes, though.

01:37:49.500 I've had the cotton candy grapes, and they're really good.

01:37:50.880 They're awesome.

01:37:52.040 They're really good.

01:37:52.980 So, cotton candy grapes and bubblegum grapes are out in limited supply.

01:37:59.160 What do they do to make that?

01:38:00.500 To make it taste like bubblegum?

01:38:01.800 I'm not sure I want to ask.

01:38:03.440 Yeah.

01:38:03.900 I personally do not care.

01:38:06.240 No, you don't.

01:38:07.360 It is genetic manipulation.

01:38:09.900 Is it?

01:38:10.260 I don't know.

01:38:11.020 It's genetic manipulation.

01:38:11.440 For the bubblegum one, at least.

01:38:13.140 Yeah.

01:38:14.140 That's fascinating.

01:38:15.760 So, what's the prediction entail?

01:38:19.600 That more of these things are going to come out, and they're going to come out broadly.

01:38:23.780 And, you know, you want to get me off of french fries?

01:38:26.400 You want to get me off of donuts?

01:38:28.060 Give me a donut-tasting apple.

01:38:32.460 Right.

01:38:32.980 Or broccoli that tastes like steak.

01:38:36.460 Right.

01:38:37.660 I'd be all over that.

01:38:38.760 That would be amazing.

01:38:39.560 Wouldn't that be something?

01:38:41.540 You know, I'm not sure that we...

01:38:43.380 I'm not sure this is good.

01:38:45.060 Chocolate broccoli.

01:38:46.380 Chocolate Brussels sprouts.

01:38:48.180 I think that's really good.

01:38:49.360 I don't care how you get there.

01:38:50.540 Just do it.

01:38:51.260 I fully think it's great.

01:38:52.460 Yeah.

01:38:52.620 I mean, you know, obviously, you have to watch how you do it.

01:38:54.640 I mean, you know, there's some poison that tastes like donuts. 0.86

01:38:56.840 You don't stick it in the grapes.

01:38:58.880 But there is a...

01:39:00.720 I mean, I'll still probably eat it.

01:39:02.920 No, I was...

01:39:04.040 I probably would.

01:39:05.860 I mean, you know, capitalism and science working together.

01:39:09.000 I mean, that is...

01:39:10.400 What are the two things people really want to do?

01:39:12.020 This is...

01:39:12.380 Penn Jillette talked about this a long time ago on one of his shows.

01:39:15.080 I think it was the Showtime BS show.

01:39:17.680 And he said, the two things that human beings kind of instinctively really want to do is

01:39:21.200 eat more than they should and have sex more than they should. 0.86

01:39:23.360 Mm-hmm. 0.97

01:39:23.960 And...

01:39:24.600 Wait, wait.

01:39:25.120 Between...

01:39:25.440 More than they should?

01:39:26.600 Yeah, like... 0.96

01:39:27.260 You can have sex more than you should? 0.99

01:39:29.160 I probably... 0.99

01:39:30.040 I don't know.

01:39:30.600 I certainly have never had that as a problem in my life.

01:39:32.680 No, I have never faced that either.

01:39:34.580 But...

01:39:35.100 You know, and so his point was that science and capitalism will work hard to take the consequences

01:39:41.680 out of those two actions.

01:39:43.260 So the consequences being disease or the consequences being unwanted childbirth.

01:39:48.780 You don't want to be punished with a baby, obviously.

01:39:51.000 It's an important thing you want to avoid.

01:39:52.420 We've had a president that's pointed that out.

01:39:54.560 Birth control, right?

01:39:55.380 Like, as, you know, condoms have taken not every consequence, but lots of those physical

01:40:01.460 consequences, at least, out of sex.

01:40:03.460 Virtual reality sex is going...

01:40:05.740 Is solving that problem. 0.81

01:40:07.580 Right.

01:40:07.980 On the other side, you know, there are zero calorie sweeteners.

01:40:11.740 You might not like them.

01:40:12.940 But think of that.

01:40:14.300 Like that...

01:40:14.820 Think of how many calories people couldn't, you know, take in with sugar.

01:40:18.660 That could seriously...

01:40:19.360 That could wind up being zero.

01:40:20.560 There are now, like, salad dressings and sauces and all sorts of things that are zero calories.

01:40:25.460 And some of it tastes really good.

01:40:26.660 Some of it is good.

01:40:27.780 Some of it is not.

01:40:29.280 Some of it's terrible.

01:40:29.800 You know, it's really bad.

01:40:30.720 So over the holidays, I was in a store and because it's the holidays, I was only looking

01:40:37.340 at the candy because it's the holidays.

01:40:38.900 Not for me, for the kids.

01:40:39.900 But I really like red vines.

01:40:41.740 I hate all other licorice, but I love red vines.

01:40:44.640 You don't like Twizzlers or...

01:40:45.800 Oh, I hate that.

01:40:46.580 But you like red vines.

01:40:47.860 Yeah.

01:40:48.120 I do like red vines, too.

01:40:49.120 Yeah.

01:40:49.280 They're delicious.

01:40:49.660 Love red vines.

01:40:50.220 I hate everything else.

01:40:52.220 And so there's this, like, tan box of red vines.

01:40:58.020 And it said, made with cane sugar and no artificial coloring or anything else.

01:41:04.680 A, it was delicious.

01:41:06.240 But it did something that I thought, oh, it's healthy.

01:41:13.080 Okay.

01:41:13.660 I don't think you need to go too far into that.

01:41:15.300 It's healthy.

01:41:16.260 Because it's made with real sugar.

01:41:18.620 Yes.

01:41:19.280 Well, that would be healthier.

01:41:21.220 Yes, it would.

01:41:22.720 It would.

01:41:23.300 It's like butter and margarine.

01:41:24.600 Yeah, we're kind of redefining healthy.

01:41:27.160 You know what I mean?

01:41:28.140 Going back to the natural ingredients, it kind of redefines healthy.

01:41:33.460 I don't know.

01:41:33.820 I mean, to me, healthy is really a word without a definition.

01:41:38.060 No one can explain what it actually means.

01:41:40.200 What does it mean?

01:41:41.600 Like, if you are, I mean, I would say absent of disease, right?

01:41:46.280 Not sick, not having the 12 diseases I apparently have right now.

01:41:49.980 I would say that somebody who is really healthy can perform at the level of their body's capabilities.

01:41:58.040 Right.

01:41:58.220 But you could totally do that with all the things that we're talking about that are unhealthy.

01:42:01.360 You could eat red vines all you want.

01:42:03.500 You know, I mean, at some point it will have negative consequences, but it will take a long time.

01:42:07.460 Yeah.

01:42:07.620 If you could have red vines every single day and be there, and people have done it.

01:42:10.660 How many people have lived to 110 years old eating Big Macs every day?

01:42:13.460 We see those stories all the time.

01:42:14.640 I had a great aunt who ate gristle every day.

01:42:17.700 Gristle.

01:42:18.480 She didn't eat the meat.

01:42:19.680 She liked the gristle from the meat. 1.00

01:42:21.180 Shut up. 0.99

01:42:21.580 She lived to 103 years old. 1.00

01:42:23.300 But you know what?

01:42:23.800 103.

01:42:25.100 What is the difference between that and a pork rind, though?

01:42:28.240 Yeah.

01:42:28.580 It's probably just like a pork rind.

01:42:30.320 Yeah.

01:42:31.400 So, I mean.

01:42:32.500 103.

01:42:32.820 I'm thinking about taking that.

01:42:34.920 I'm going all gristle.

01:42:36.000 Yeah.

01:42:36.280 Beginning today, now that I've remembered that.

01:42:38.420 Yeah.

01:42:38.640 I don't think it has anything to do.

01:42:40.300 You know, these people who are like, I'm 144 years old, and I have smoked.

01:42:45.540 I chew tobacco.

01:42:47.400 I had a bottle of whiskey every day.

01:42:48.760 I brush my teeth with whiskey.

01:42:51.160 And look at me.

01:42:52.380 I think that might be genetics.

01:42:54.200 I don't think that's your diet.

01:42:55.980 Uh-huh.

01:42:56.300 It depends on what you combine it with, too.

01:42:58.240 Right?

01:42:58.420 I mean, you know, I think.

01:42:59.820 Butter.

01:43:00.640 Right.

01:43:00.880 But that, I mean, that was, back in the day, how people ate, right?

01:43:05.620 I know.

01:43:05.800 And they also, you know.

01:43:06.920 And died at about 68 years old.

01:43:08.980 But then we're told, I mean, you were just saying that butter, like, a lot of people think,

01:43:11.820 you know, hey, butter is better, right?

01:43:13.040 Like, butter is better.

01:43:13.720 Real sugar is better.

01:43:14.320 I think it is.

01:43:15.060 I think it is.

01:43:15.740 You may.

01:43:16.220 I mean, and it may be, but.

01:43:18.120 I have a feeling in about 40 years, we're going to find out that meat tasting broccoli

01:43:24.320 is not as good as broccoli broccoli.

01:43:28.840 Anytime you modify them, you're going to change something, right?

01:43:31.580 Yeah.

01:43:31.880 You're going to change it.

01:43:32.680 You have to.

01:43:33.360 Yeah.

01:43:33.620 But these things, I mean, wait, wait.

01:43:36.460 Oh, my gosh.

01:43:36.940 I just thought of something great.

01:43:39.480 If we genetically change broccoli into meat, and it becomes really, really popular, but bad

01:43:45.840 for you, they'll say, we have to stop making this, but maybe we haven't kept any heirloom

01:43:51.640 seeds of real broccoli.

01:43:53.640 We can't rid the world of broccoli.

01:43:56.240 That's something humanity can accomplish.

01:43:57.980 I think we set a course.

01:43:59.820 That's something we aspire to.

01:44:01.620 Engage.

01:44:02.160 Yeah.

01:44:02.520 Yeah.

01:44:02.840 Do you ever get those people who come to you, too, and they're just like, you're on

01:44:04.980 some diet or whatever because you just, you know, you get past the holidays, and, you

01:44:08.940 know, with the exception of Pat, who did this three months earlier than the holidays,

01:44:13.140 right, or whatever it was.

01:44:14.040 You get so disgusted with yourself that you're just like, I've just got to do something about

01:44:17.660 this, and I got to start eating better, and all this other stuff.

01:44:19.740 Yeah.

01:44:20.180 And then you have, of course, the one friend who's actually in shape, and they see you

01:44:24.500 poking away at some terrible-looking salad, and they say, all you got to do is eat in

01:44:29.220 moderation.

01:44:29.980 Just cut back a little bit here and there, and don't go crazy, and, you know, just do

01:44:34.200 some exercise, and it'll be great.

01:44:36.080 You don't need to do, you don't need to go crazy. 1.00

01:44:37.720 Shut up. 1.00

01:44:38.400 Yeah. 1.00

01:44:38.520 Those people usually end up with a fork in their chest.

01:44:40.660 Yeah.

01:44:40.980 Right after they said that, it's like, if I could do all of those things, I wouldn't

01:44:46.200 need you.

01:44:47.320 Right. 1.00

01:44:48.380 Shut up, because you're starting to look tasty. 0.99

01:44:51.620 So what are you covering today, Pat? 0.99

01:44:53.420 What's on your mind?

01:44:54.400 Oh, I'm kind of sick about some of the unintended consequences of the Donald Trump-Steve

01:45:00.200 Bannon breakup.

01:45:00.960 Oh, no.

01:45:01.880 Oh, no.

01:45:02.780 This is terrible.

01:45:03.820 There's more to consider than just the two of them.

01:45:06.080 For instance, who gets custody of Michael Savage in all of this?

01:45:11.080 Some of the kids are going to be upset today.

01:45:13.720 Which one do they go with?

01:45:15.040 I don't know.

01:45:15.420 I will tell you.

01:45:16.380 I don't know.

01:45:16.820 I will tell you that.

01:45:17.720 What's his name, though?

01:45:18.380 Oh, yeah. 0.99

01:45:18.900 Crazy guy. 1.00

01:45:19.240 This is very sad. 0.99

01:45:19.960 Alex Jones.

01:45:20.780 He gets, Trump gets custody of him.

01:45:23.260 Trump got custody of?

01:45:24.480 Okay.

01:45:25.220 Because Alex-

01:45:26.300 Alex Jones had a report today that a lot of people were sending to us on the

01:45:29.860 Twitters, which apparently-

01:45:32.300 I love Alex Jones news.

01:45:33.700 I don't know already.

01:45:34.560 I love this.

01:45:35.020 He has a report that apparently proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Steve

01:45:40.840 Bannon was an anti-Trump agent the whole time.

01:45:43.580 Oh, my.

01:45:44.360 Now, it was a weird way.

01:45:45.460 It was a weird approach to, like, take over a campaign and make him

01:45:48.180 president when he was an anti-

01:45:49.740 Yeah.

01:45:50.480 Well, it's like-

01:45:51.940 Can I tell you something?

01:45:53.100 It is like John Roberts and his-

01:45:55.880 He is so stealthy on getting rid of Obamacare.

01:45:58.880 Oh, yeah.

01:45:59.540 Yeah.

01:46:00.080 Right.

01:46:00.440 He is-

01:46:00.860 That he voted for it.

01:46:01.720 Right.

01:46:02.000 Right.

01:46:02.380 Right.

01:46:02.740 Super stealth.

01:46:03.820 Right.

01:46:03.980 Yes.

01:46:04.300 And that's what Bannon was doing, apparently.

01:46:06.740 According to this hardcore-

01:46:07.400 Wow.

01:46:07.580 These guys are so much smarter than we are.

01:46:09.060 They are.

01:46:09.300 Yeah.

01:46:09.620 That's the problem.

01:46:10.300 You know.

01:46:10.600 They are.

01:46:11.100 It's like Trump's move yesterday, day before yesterday, when he seemed like he was backing

01:46:16.000 off some of his really hardline immigration stuff.

01:46:18.600 Mm-hmm.

01:46:19.040 That was just a trick to trick Congress into doing a bill that he can veto.

01:46:24.180 Did you get-

01:46:24.700 Brilliant.

01:46:24.960 Did you get those calls yesterday?

01:46:26.220 We actually got those calls, too.

01:46:27.340 We did, too.

01:46:27.620 We did, too.

01:46:27.820 Got those calls.

01:46:28.460 We did, too.

01:46:28.880 Oh, yeah.

01:46:29.320 Unreal.

01:46:29.760 Yeah.

01:46:30.060 Like, why would he veto it?

01:46:31.380 I don't know.

01:46:31.860 Why would he veto it?

01:46:32.440 He already said, give me anything, I'll sign it.

01:46:34.600 I'll sign anything you do.

01:46:35.480 Yeah.

01:46:35.720 Why would he do that?

01:46:36.180 Which is what I explained to them.

01:46:37.000 No, that's just part of the strategy, Pat.

01:46:38.820 It's always part of the strategy.

01:46:39.960 Oh, wow.

01:46:40.480 That's an interesting strategy.

01:46:41.600 Try this out for size.

01:46:44.360 We still haven't passed the budget, right?

01:46:46.640 We're still looking at a government shutdown?

01:46:48.840 Yeah, I think that is still going.

01:46:49.920 They did an extension.

01:46:51.040 Yeah, they did an extension.

01:46:52.080 That's what it was, yeah.

01:46:52.860 Yeah, they did an extension.

01:46:53.820 I think that's coming.

01:46:55.680 Can you look up real quick when that's coming?

01:46:57.360 I think it's coming soon.

01:46:58.820 What about this?

01:46:59.780 This one, I thought of last night, and I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:47:03.640 Maybe he was just putting that out there so the press could cover it, and he's like,

01:47:07.620 hey, I'm working with the Democrats.

01:47:09.100 I'm working with everything.

01:47:09.780 And then when the budget doesn't come through, 10 days, it looks like.

01:47:13.780 10 days. 0.99

01:47:14.220 He could play this game for 10 days, and then he could say, damn it. 0.99

01:47:20.100 And when everybody says, it's the Republicans, he could say, no. 0.99

01:47:25.420 Have I not been reasonable in the last 10 days?

01:47:28.040 I've been trying to work with these guys, and they won't get reasonable.

01:47:32.380 I've said, put it on my desk, and they won't agree.

01:47:37.260 Well, in 10 days, we'll know.

01:47:38.500 Yeah, in 10 days.

01:47:39.680 That's a possibility.

01:47:42.280 It's not likely.

01:47:43.980 I don't think that's what he's doing, but I'd love it if that's what he's doing.

01:47:47.800 Yeah.

01:47:48.080 That would be great.

01:47:49.300 I mean, because after this meeting, when conservatives, and this is one of the things we said yesterday,

01:47:53.840 it's like, if you care about the border, make sure your voice is heard to Trump.

01:47:57.340 His supporters, the people who really voted for them and then like the guy, need to make

01:48:01.820 themselves very vocal in these periods when he's flirting with the left, because he does

01:48:05.840 tend to back off of those things when he hears from his base.

01:48:08.640 And if he doesn't hear from his base, did you hear yesterday?

01:48:10.840 Can we play the audio, please, of Donald Trump saying about talking about the reviews of that

01:48:17.240 meeting?

01:48:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:19.060 Do you have it, Sarah?

01:48:21.200 He was talking about how great.

01:48:23.260 Everybody was happy with it.

01:48:25.440 How great it was, how great his performance was.

01:48:28.860 And it was a tremendous meeting.

01:48:30.560 Actually, it was reported as incredibly good.

01:48:34.080 And my performance, you know, some of them called it a performance.

01:48:37.540 I consider it work.

01:48:40.020 But got great reviews by everybody other than two networks who were phenomenal for about two

01:48:47.480 hours.

01:48:48.960 Then after that, they were called by their bosses and said, oh, wait a minute.

01:48:53.960 And unfortunately, a lot of those anchors sent us letters saying that was one of the greatest

01:48:58.960 sent us meetings they've ever witnessed.

01:49:01.760 Wow.

01:49:02.620 And they were great.

01:49:03.400 Came in the mail fast.

01:49:03.580 For about two hours, they were phenomenal.

01:49:05.000 All right.

01:49:05.260 So what is he saying here?

01:49:06.700 He's saying, look at the left.

01:49:08.820 They loved me.

01:49:09.940 They loved me.

01:49:10.840 They thought this was great.

01:49:12.920 He responds to that kind of stuff.

01:49:15.440 Yeah, he does.

01:49:16.060 If you don't, even if you think he's playing a game, if you don't let him know, hey, dude,

01:49:23.260 we're not cool with that.

01:49:25.980 He's not going to get that message.

01:49:27.560 He's going to think you're cool with it.

01:49:29.380 They're cool with it.

01:49:30.460 If he is playing a game, you'll be right.

01:49:32.860 And everybody will be happy.

01:49:33.680 If he's not playing a game, if you shut your mouth and don't let him know, I ain't cool

01:49:38.540 with this, you're going to lose.

01:49:41.360 This is why Donald Trump deserves the same treatment that everybody else gets, which

01:49:45.160 is when you do something good, you say good things about it.

01:49:48.140 And when they do something bad, we say bad things about it.

01:49:50.560 This idea that we're supposed to make excuses for him every time he does something we don't 0.91

01:49:53.840 like is ridiculous. 0.87

01:49:55.100 And the same thing. 0.94

01:49:55.600 We didn't do it for Bush.

01:49:56.320 Why would we do it for Trump?

01:49:57.140 We didn't do it for Bush.

01:49:57.720 We didn't do it for Romney.

01:49:59.040 We didn't do everything.

01:50:00.280 That's the thing.

01:50:01.260 It's like you have to.

01:50:02.020 When he heard these voices about, hey, wait a minute.

01:50:04.020 You said, you know, you might not need a wall.

01:50:05.740 You said you do a clean DACA bill.

01:50:07.340 What do you do?

01:50:08.220 Ten minutes later, he's tweeting about how, oh, by the way, we do need a wall.

01:50:11.260 I mean, you can, if he hears your voice and you hold him to the things that he campaigned

01:50:15.860 on, he does tend to go back to those positions.

01:50:18.580 He wants to be liked.

01:50:19.820 He wants to be liked.

01:50:21.800 So let him know how to like you.
