The Glenn Beck Program - 1⧸26⧸18 - 'Something's Got To Change' (Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:20.180 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:26.780 All right, I want to say a few things, and they might be controversial, but I'm going to say them because we all are thinking them.

00:00:34.540 White people are a race of devils. 1.00

00:00:37.760 And Hitler was a very good man. 0.99

00:00:40.600 And Judaism is a gutter religion. 1.00

00:00:45.380 Okay, all right. None of us believe any of that stuff.

00:00:48.320 I shouldn't say none of us.

00:00:50.360 I'm sure there are people.

00:00:51.680 I know one in particular, and that is Louis Farrakhan.

00:00:56.780 Most people, right off the bat, would say, well, that was David Duke, right?

00:01:03.460 He probably has very similar things to say, except not about white people, just about black people.

00:01:10.540 You know, Hitler was fine. 1.00

00:01:12.600 Jews, gutter religion. 1.00

00:01:14.520 But this is the nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan. 0.91

00:01:19.420 And apparently, we just can't say anything bad about Louis Farrakhan.

00:01:24.720 He is absolutely one of, if not the leading racist in America.

00:01:31.260 If any politician or public figure were caught schmoozing with Farrakhan, it would be a very big deal.

00:01:39.180 Barack Obama had been accused of such, not by the right, but by the left.

00:01:45.500 In fact, it was Hillary Clinton.

00:01:47.080 She called him out over the debate, and she talked to him about it,

00:01:51.500 because there was a rumor that he had been schmoozing, had known, and there was photographic evidence of it.

00:01:59.260 She said that Farrakhan's support for Obama needed to be addressed and denounced.

00:02:05.200 So what did Obama do?

00:02:06.560 He denied any contact.

00:02:08.580 He said he doesn't know him.

00:02:10.000 He's never met him.

00:02:11.640 You know, he can't help who supports him.

00:02:13.980 Now, I just want to put this into context, because isn't that exactly what Donald Trump said about failing to denounce David Duke's support?

00:02:27.340 That was the exact excuse.

00:02:30.620 Did the media accept that?

00:02:33.780 Well, yesterday, TalkingPointsMemo.com published a story that featured an interesting photo.

00:02:40.460 It's a photo.

00:02:41.720 Oh, look at that.

00:02:44.460 Huh.

00:02:45.720 That appears to be the million-dollar smile of Barack Obama standing next to Louis Farrakhan and leaning in towards him.

00:02:56.440 Now, there is no way that Obama didn't know who he was taking a picture with.

00:03:00.460 This is not a Farrakhan, you know, slide-in and the mother of all photobombs.

00:03:06.260 He knew exactly who he was, what he was doing.

00:03:09.180 He was palling around with one of the most racist men in America, and it didn't bother him.

00:03:14.720 I don't know if you can check body language at all or if we're allowed to with Democrats, but he's leaning into him.

00:03:21.480 So the question is, why haven't we ever seen this photo?

00:03:29.120 Now, some people are saying this would have torpedoed Barack Obama's election, his first run for president, but I don't believe it would have.

00:03:37.300 I don't think anything would have.

00:03:38.380 Nothing would have mattered to the Obama supporters.

00:03:42.800 Nothing.

00:03:44.520 I think there's a pattern here.

00:03:49.020 Nothing would have bothered people.

00:03:51.180 But the reason why you've never seen it is because the media didn't want it to get out.

00:03:57.880 And I say this title against my will, almost.

00:04:04.980 The, quote, photojournalist hid the picture because it would, quote, be damaging politically if it were released.

00:04:14.660 The photojournalist, the photojournalist, Obama and Farrakhan's contacts, one of the worst kept secrets in Washington.

00:04:27.260 Despite the rumors, nobody looked for evidence.

00:04:31.000 Nobody looked for photos.

00:04:32.860 And if you dare say anything about the relationship or that there is evidence out there, no one will produce it.

00:04:42.940 You were the racist, not Louis Farrakhan.

00:04:48.700 If the situation would have been reversed, if there was a picture with a white nationalist and John McCain, Mitt Romney or Donald Trump,

00:04:57.520 this would have been blasted in every newspaper and every cable news network, not just in America, but all over the world.

00:05:07.940 I can't find this mention in any major news outlet this morning.

00:05:14.580 Huffington Post, Washington Post, New York Times.

00:05:19.100 I mean, are they?

00:05:20.040 Is this news?

00:05:20.940 Is this news that a photojournalist hid one of the most damning photos of any president taken?

00:05:29.280 Can you imagine a picture of Harry Truman with the leader of the Klan? 0.64

00:05:36.060 That's kind of an important picture politically, but an even more important picture historically.

00:05:43.280 Not only because it exists, but because the media hid it.

00:05:50.940 Maybe they don't want to cover it because it's a glaring reminder that they are both incompetent, they don't care, and I'm being kind with those descriptions.

00:06:01.720 Every day we're reminded with more evidence of just how far the media has fallen from doing their job.

00:06:13.320 Incompetence or blatant partisanship?

00:06:18.140 It's a rhetorical question.

00:06:21.720 But something has got to change.

00:06:32.860 It's Friday, January 26th.

00:06:35.880 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:37.500 Millions of dollars in media have been spent to discredit me mainly because of one question.

00:07:03.480 And it's a question that I was told, just out of respect for the office, you don't ask.

00:07:13.240 How dare you even, how dare you even utter those words?

00:07:21.400 If you, if you, if you look at what's going on right now, where everybody is saying Donald Trump is a racist, why are they saying that?

00:07:34.660 They don't have proof.

00:07:36.660 All they have are his words.

00:07:43.020 That's it.

00:07:43.800 You don't have him.

00:07:44.740 You don't have a picture of him next to Louis Farrakhan.

00:07:47.620 You don't have a picture of him next to David Duke.

00:07:51.360 You have racists supporting him.

00:07:55.360 Well, you had that in the last president.

00:07:56.880 You have Donald Trump saying what many people believe are racist things.

00:08:03.820 Well, you had that in the last president.

00:08:05.800 But what you don't have with Donald Trump, and you did have with Barack Obama, is the fact that he sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.

00:08:19.840 One, again, of one of the most racist people in America today.

00:08:24.540 And now, you know that the media covered up for this meeting where Barack Obama denied it.

00:08:35.740 I mean, today we're talking about the president denied that he wanted to fire Mueller.

00:08:41.220 Yeah, he did.

00:08:42.940 Okay, so what have we learned?

00:08:44.940 The White House isn't the most transparent, not the most honest.

00:08:50.140 We got it.

00:08:51.460 We got it.

00:08:52.040 Are you willing to say those same things about Barack Obama?

00:08:59.780 See, here's the, here, to me, this is the real problem.

00:09:03.540 The real problem in America is that neither side will admit when they're being hypocritical.

00:09:12.620 Come on.

00:09:15.580 Left.

00:09:17.120 Right.

00:09:19.340 Hypocrites.

00:09:19.940 You say this is a problem, but when your guy does it, it's not a problem.

00:09:27.480 When your team can use that to score a point, you're fine.

00:09:33.680 The president, the president didn't tell the truth about what was going on in the White House.

00:09:38.620 Oh, my.

00:09:40.300 Well, I haven't seen that with Barack Obama.

00:09:44.100 Oh, my.

00:09:45.900 I didn't.

00:09:46.840 I didn't see that with with fast and furious.

00:09:51.000 Donald Trump said he wanted to fire Mueller.

00:09:56.600 Well, he didn't.

00:09:58.940 Did he?

00:10:00.060 He wanted to.

00:10:01.320 He pushed until his own people said, we'll quit if you do it.

00:10:05.260 So he didn't do it.

00:10:07.600 Now, surprise, surprise.

00:10:10.040 Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

00:10:11.580 New information.

00:10:12.780 Donald Trump isn't honest on everything.

00:10:14.820 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:16.900 Now, let me compare.

00:10:24.560 Fast and furious.

00:10:26.840 We we have a attorney general who said before he got into office, look, we're going to need to do some things to convince people that guns are bad.

00:10:38.240 So we'll just do some things.

00:10:40.560 I mean, if we if we just do some things, it'll just really show that we can take these guns away.

00:10:47.460 OK.

00:10:49.140 Bad.

00:10:50.060 Nobody pays attention to it.

00:10:51.600 That's just what he said.

00:10:53.240 And now he's in power.

00:10:54.260 He's going to be completely different.

00:10:56.180 Oh, OK.

00:10:57.380 Fast and furious.

00:10:59.580 Taking guns.

00:11:01.520 And putting them into the hands of bad guys.

00:11:05.100 And then those guns are used by terrorists in France.

00:11:13.220 And you guys don't care.

00:11:16.220 Well, they said that they didn't do that.

00:11:18.120 Well, it's a serial.

00:11:19.440 We know it is called fast and furious.

00:11:23.060 Well, it's not a problem.

00:11:24.620 You're racist for even asking those questions.

00:11:27.380 Barack Obama.

00:11:33.540 That's just the way white people will do you. 0.71

00:11:37.240 Barack Obama.

00:11:38.860 Well, the police acted stupidly.

00:11:40.820 They saw a black man and this is the way they do it. 1.00

00:11:45.920 Barack Obama.

00:11:46.940 You know, this distrust for African-Americans and this fear of black people was just bred into her.

00:11:59.140 Jimmy the Greek. 0.76

00:12:02.120 Bred into her.

00:12:04.660 His relationship with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years.

00:12:15.020 Even Oprah said, you got to get out of here.

00:12:18.440 And he didn't take the advice.

00:12:22.000 For 20 years.

00:12:23.540 Can you imagine if Donald Trump had gone to an actual alt-right Richard Spencer meeting?

00:12:29.800 And everybody around him, Steve Bannon, which would never happen.

00:12:34.160 Steve Bannon would say, you got to get out of here, man.

00:12:36.700 And he stayed for 20 years.

00:12:39.120 Would we dismiss that?

00:12:41.840 No.

00:12:43.540 But he didn't do that.

00:12:45.180 But Barack Obama did.

00:12:47.920 And when the media continued to pile on and said, there's no relationship.

00:12:53.080 There's no evidence that they've even met before.

00:12:56.420 Meanwhile, they are hiding the photographic evidence that that is a lie.

00:13:06.960 And what do they do?

00:13:08.600 They destroy people for even saying, I think this guy might be a racist.

00:13:15.320 I think this guy, I mean, I don't think he hates people.

00:13:18.740 He has a problem with white culture.

00:13:21.060 What is white culture?

00:13:23.340 You racist.

00:13:24.620 Just by saying white culture.

00:13:26.160 That is evidence of racism.

00:13:32.260 You're right.

00:13:32.940 All cultures are alike. 1.00

00:13:34.100 Oh, my gosh.

00:13:35.400 Are you?

00:13:37.200 You're appropriating somebody else's culture.

00:13:40.300 You're saying that ours is just the same, that there's no difference?

00:13:45.260 Well, I thought that's what you wanted me to say.

00:13:49.700 So I'm going to use the African talking stick to be, that's appropriation. 1.00

00:13:57.460 Just in case the media, and I'd love anybody in the media to point this one out, but they won't.

00:14:08.600 I would love the media just to reflect now that we have the photographic evidence that is really important historically.

00:14:19.940 That we have the photographic evidence of Barack Obama and Louis Farrakhan, the president of the United States, I don't care who it is, standing next to the biggest racist in America.

00:14:32.940 And we have the evidence that it came from a photojournalist who hid it, and the media knew about it.

00:14:43.340 And when people like me questioned whether there is something more going on with his relationship with racists, oh, my gosh, you pummeled.

00:14:56.260 But just change the D to an R, and you can ask the same exact thing.

00:15:13.340 All right, I want to tell you about CarShield.

00:15:21.900 CarShield is, I mean, if you have a car and you don't have a warranty on it because, you know, you're driving it like, you know, like I drive it.

00:15:30.660 You're going to drive it, and it's still good, and there's nothing wrong with it.

00:15:34.260 And I want to drive it until the doors fall off.

00:15:37.420 I have a couple trucks.

00:15:39.340 I just, I love, I love my trucks, but they're getting to the age of where things start to go wrong, and it's not like cars were when I was a kid.

00:15:49.960 You could just open it up.

00:15:51.080 I couldn't, but somebody could just open it up and repair it, and it's easy.

00:15:55.480 Now a sensor goes wrong, and it's $1,000.

00:15:59.160 That's why I have my trucks covered by CarShield.

00:16:02.480 They're out of warranty, except now I have them in warranty with CarShield because a new fuel pump will cost you $500.

00:16:10.800 Replacing water pump is $1,000.

00:16:13.040 If you need repair to a control arm or a converter, stuff that I don't even know what the hell it even is, but it breaks, thousands of dollars to fix.

00:16:25.580 They have plans to cover your car's computer, GPS, electronics, CarShield, the ultimate in extended coverage, and they get it done with your favorite mechanic or the dealership, and you don't mind because they pay them directly.

00:16:39.660 You're not writing the check and then waiting for CarShield to pay you.

00:17:11.300 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:17:17.600 Glenn Beck.

00:17:18.460 It would be incredible and honest if the press ever decided to tell the truth about their hypocrisy, especially if we could just do a little flashback.

00:17:34.020 I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people.

00:17:37.180 I'm saying he has a problem.

00:17:39.060 He has a...

00:17:39.940 This guy is, I believe, a racist.

00:17:42.560 Glenn Beck in the news.

00:17:43.480 How is it possible that this guy can sit on national television and call the president of the United States a racist?

00:17:49.080 This president sees everything through a racial prism and may even have his own racist beliefs.

00:17:54.520 I wish we would just stop this.

00:17:56.960 Glenn Beck and people like that need to stop this.

00:17:59.260 The notion that Donald Trump reinforces his animus, his racially driven animus, his racism, that he demonstrates it over and over again from the Oval Office.

00:18:07.540 You know, throwing out the R word, the racist word, and some other words are conversation stoppers.

00:18:13.240 We're never going to get past the point where the Glenn Beck's of the world will just hurl that out at people.

00:18:18.500 What more do we need to see or hear from this racist man?

00:18:22.500 Not only is he racist, he is an embarrassment.

00:18:25.940 These are the birthers, this is the narrative that they want the man to fail, and now they're labeling, hey, he's a racist.

00:18:31.860 But it doesn't make what he said any less ignorant or any less racist.

00:18:35.900 Not racial, not racially charged.

00:18:38.540 As long as Glenn Beck is out there calling the president a racist or anyone else a racist,

00:18:43.340 we're never going to get past this point of constantly reacting to racial flare-ups.

00:18:48.480 Do you think President Trump is a racist?

00:18:50.500 I think he is a racist.

00:18:51.960 I see it with both Glenn Beck and with Rush Limbaugh.

00:18:55.860 These guys with really suspect racial feelings and perceptions are projecting their own hate and their own divisiveness.

00:19:03.400 And it's the same sentiment, Chris, and it's something that virtually everyone recognized right away.

00:19:08.180 It is racism.

00:19:08.880 It's such a blunt object of racism.

00:19:11.700 When you say racism, it's a big charge.

00:19:15.540 It's a huge, I find it awful.

00:19:17.680 I think you have to be very careful with it.

00:19:19.360 And then secondly, there's the racial angle.

00:19:20.660 I don't think there's any getting away from the color of people from Norway as opposed to people coming from Haiti, Africa.

00:19:26.340 I think a lot of that is simple grandstanding, making outrageous statements, provocateur.

00:19:33.360 I refuse to show any moral courage when it comes to standing up to the racist comments made by the president of the United States.

00:19:40.380 I can't even believe it, first of all.

00:19:41.860 Glenn Beck owes the president an apology.

00:19:44.000 He owes the American people an apology.

00:19:45.500 If we take this additional, very clear racist thing, he's an evil man.

00:19:50.520 This is an insult to our democracy, our way of life.

00:19:53.100 We have to start calling things what they are.

00:19:55.420 We have to stop asking if this person is a racist because the evidence is there.

00:20:00.020 He is.

00:20:00.340 I hate giving someone who says something like that any more attention.

00:20:04.160 Outrageous is one way of putting it.

00:20:05.860 I would say irresponsible.

00:20:07.200 If you put Haiti next to Norway, it's Donnie said it's a black and white issue, the way the president laid it out yesterday.

00:20:12.260 If someone on the left had called George Bush a racist on TV, would we be throwing our hands up?

00:20:17.760 Would we be so outraged?

00:20:18.740 Yes.

00:20:18.900 Would we demand an apology?

00:20:20.280 We would?

00:20:20.560 I would.

00:20:21.120 Really?

00:20:21.660 Yeah.

00:20:21.920 I would.

00:20:22.580 Sure.

00:20:22.880 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:20:38.200 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:39.880 All right.

00:20:41.900 I know there's a lot going on.

00:20:42.980 Bill O'Reilly is going to come up in just a second.

00:20:45.120 We're going to talk a little bit about the president and his, you know, his trouble with the New York Times now.

00:20:51.640 The New York Times is saying that he wanted to fire Mueller back in the summer.

00:20:58.740 And he has, and the White House has repeatedly said that's not true.

00:21:02.200 Now the New York Times says they have evidence.

00:21:04.580 Fox News confirmed it last night.

00:21:06.580 I just, I mean, this is, first of all, he didn't fire him.

00:21:11.040 The problem is, is that Donald Trump and the White House have a problem with telling the truth.

00:21:17.160 It's not criminal.

00:21:18.440 It's also not really anything new.

00:21:21.000 So what do we have here?

00:21:23.180 Nothing.

00:21:24.000 And why the president just doesn't come out today and just say, yeah.

00:21:28.320 So I talked about it and I wanted to fire him.

00:21:31.940 But I listened to my counsel and they said, don't, Mr. President.

00:21:35.820 I mean, why?

00:21:37.600 Why wouldn't you just say that?

00:21:39.800 I don't know.

00:21:40.520 I mean, and obviously you can question whether the report is accurate, though.

00:21:44.220 You know, I know Fox News has confirmed it as well.

00:21:47.340 Hannity first denied it yesterday.

00:21:48.860 And then, and then last night when Fox News confirmed it.

00:21:52.000 I mean, I'm not taking the New York Times for their word either.

00:21:54.380 And then Fox News can, you know, confirms it.

00:21:57.740 And he's like, okay, so yeah, we've confirmed it.

00:21:59.800 But I think, you know, is it a big deal?

00:22:02.820 I mean, we knew that there was this talk about him considering it at the time.

00:22:08.280 And we, and he didn't do it, right?

00:22:10.420 So there's no, he's not covering up something that he didn't do.

00:22:14.180 The only thing here is that you just, you just wish he would be more honest and just come out and say it at the time.

00:22:19.620 Yeah, I did.

00:22:20.260 I mean, it would be great if both sides were more honest, honestly.

00:22:22.280 Yes.

00:22:22.460 Whether the media and the president were more honest.

00:22:24.180 It's just, I don't think we're going to get our wishes on this one.

00:22:25.960 No, we're not going to get our, no, we're not going to get our wishes until the media really, truly understands the, the, I just don't think they get that there's a difference here.

00:22:40.700 I mean, that there's no difference here.

00:22:42.160 I think they think, no, Donald Trump is a horrible human being.

00:22:45.060 Well, there's a lot of people in America that thought a man who's would sit in the church of Jeremiah Wright was a horrible human being, was somebody who really had deep seated problems with, uh, interesting phrasing.

00:23:01.800 I know, but wouldn't you say if Donald Trump had sat in, um, a room and listened an hour a week for 20 years to, to, uh, David Duke, wouldn't we all say the guy's got some deep seated issues with black people and Jews?

00:23:20.000 And that would be fair.

00:23:20.720 It would be totally fair.

00:23:23.180 So they don't see the difference in anything that they're doing.

00:23:27.000 And, you know, for, for somebody to sit with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, and then the reason why we have this photo and the reason why we know the photo was hidden by journalist is because of the journalist.

00:23:41.080 The journalist, the journalist that took the photo and hid the photo, we know what his motivations, because he admitted to them.

00:23:51.260 Yeah.

00:23:51.560 Uh, the photographer, Askiyam or Muhammad said he gave up the picture at the time and basically swore secrecy.

00:23:57.980 This is, these are his quotes, but after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration, then for eight years after he was president, it was kept undercover.

00:24:06.600 Again, a quote from the journalist, um, he said a staff member from the Congressional Black Caucus contacted him in sort of a panic after he took the photo at a caucus meeting in 2005.

00:24:19.540 Okay.

00:24:19.720 So hang on.

00:24:20.220 This is, this is worse than just the photo.

00:24:23.000 Louis Farrakhan was at the Congressional Black Caucus.

00:24:28.240 Okay.

00:24:29.080 So all those people in the caucus knew that Louis Farrakhan was there, that Barack Obama was there,

00:24:36.280 that they had met.

00:24:37.980 First of all, why would the Congressional Black Caucus be meeting with Louis Farrakhan in 2005, too?

00:24:44.980 This is not like, you know, there were times where maybe he wasn't thought to be as controversial a figure.

00:24:49.900 This is way after you knew who this guy was.

00:24:51.980 You know who this is.

00:24:53.260 Imagine, imagine the GOP having any meetings, let alone in Washington with senators having any meetings and saying, you know what, let's bring David Duke in.

00:25:04.220 I like to hear his point of view.

00:25:06.760 Can you imagine?

00:25:09.360 But the media doesn't see a difference there.

00:25:11.640 And that's the fundamental rub.

00:25:13.600 And I think the easy thing to do here is to look at the media and say, look, here's a journalist who hid this from the American people and beat up on the media.

00:25:21.680 And I think that's a fair angle.

00:25:23.280 But also, we should talk about the fact that the Congressional Black Caucus are our representatives.

00:25:29.960 They were involved in this as well.

00:25:32.700 In fact, to the point, because you might say, well, why did this journalist listen?

00:25:36.660 Because he was afraid.

00:25:38.760 His quotes.

00:25:40.360 I sort of understood what was going on.

00:25:41.680 I promised they made arrangements to give the picture to Leonard Farrakhan.

00:25:45.180 Muhammad said he gave away the disk, but he kept the file on his computer.

00:25:48.360 However, realizing that I had given it up, it was sort of like a promise to keep the photograph secret.

00:25:53.820 Muhammad then said he did not release his copy of the photograph because, quote, I was really, I guess, afraid of them.

00:26:01.880 Muhammad said he thought the photograph would be damaging politically if it were released and was afraid that someone might break into his apartment looking for it like that Watergate crap, end quote.

00:26:12.100 Well, the Watergate crap was a political move, a political move, a political move.

00:26:19.700 He was afraid, a journalist in fear.

00:26:22.540 Does any of the journalists, do they care?

00:26:25.360 And and it's not Louis Farrakhan.

00:26:27.520 In case you don't know who he is, here's a quick little recap.

00:26:31.780 And I watched the evil of the United States government at work.

00:26:37.800 But of course, they will tell you they're different from their father.

00:26:42.520 It's the same devil.

00:26:43.600 You may not want to fight.

00:26:45.160 You better get ready.

00:26:46.900 Teach your baby.

00:26:50.680 How to throw the bottle if they can't.

00:26:52.740 Why should anybody who criticizes Jewish behavior that ill affects black people and their pursuit of happiness be considered anti-Semitic?

00:27:03.060 Hitler was a very great man. 0.97

00:27:04.720 He rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat.

00:27:09.240 Don't you be fooled by a smile and a pat on the back and a white woman in your arms, brother? 0.77

00:27:15.760 Even if you mean good, I don't give a damn.

00:27:18.960 You go with your own people.

00:27:20.440 It's a deep guilt thing.

00:27:22.740 Let white folks suffer.

00:27:24.340 You are afraid that if we ever come to power, we will do to you and your fathers what you and your people have done to us. 0.80

00:27:35.400 We'll tear this country up.

00:27:39.960 Hey, I am not playing this.

00:27:41.840 So you're afraid of Louis Farrakhan.

00:27:43.640 I'm not playing this.

00:27:44.700 So you fear black people or anything else.

00:27:49.020 I'm playing this for the media.

00:27:50.560 You don't have a problem with a journalist who says he's afraid of a Watergate where somebody's breaking into his house.

00:28:03.060 You don't have a problem with a congressional black caucus meeting with that guy.

00:28:12.640 Just ask yourself this honest question.

00:28:14.740 If it was David Duke, would you have a problem?

00:28:19.240 The answer, of course, is yes.

00:28:21.960 We all would.

00:28:23.040 I would.

00:28:24.260 I'd be speaking out about...

00:28:26.040 I've been speaking out against the alt-right before you even knew what the alt-right was.

00:28:31.920 I was speaking out about the poison that is coming out from Russia on racist policies that is infiltrating our own country, and that is called the alt-right. 0.62

00:28:46.040 I was doing that for two years before I had even heard the term alt-right.

00:28:51.600 I can recognize the poison, and I can call it out on my own side.

00:28:55.280 Can you, can you, and do you understand at all why people aren't listening to you?

00:29:04.980 Do you understand at all why Donald Trump can get away with this?

00:29:11.780 Because your side has gotten away with it so long that the people who said, no, you know what?

00:29:17.420 I believe in these principles, I believe in these principles, I believe in these principles, they got to a point where those principles didn't mean squat to anyone.

00:29:27.640 And so they were like, you know what?

00:29:29.180 I can stand here with my principles and have my family, my job, my country completely transformed, or I can say, you know, fight fire with fire.

00:29:42.020 And that's what's happened.

00:29:43.060 And if you want to change things, you better start pumping out water, not fire.

00:29:51.560 And the first water, well, is the water of repentance, if I may say, brothers and sisters.

00:29:59.960 Water of forgiveness.

00:30:03.320 Just stand up, somebody on the left, and say, you know what?

00:30:10.040 I get it.

00:30:10.880 I see it.

00:30:11.500 I see it.

00:30:11.980 I may not even agree with it, but I see it.

00:30:15.900 I see what the center of the country is saying.

00:30:19.220 I get it.

00:30:20.340 Amen.

00:30:22.200 You're in Bible country now. 1.00

00:30:23.980 Well, no, I'm not Bible. 0.83

00:30:26.300 It's not in the Bible, but it's Bible country.

00:30:28.700 It's the Bible county, as Louis Farrakhan. 0.92

00:30:32.040 Not Louis Farrakhan, but Jeremiah Wright said.

00:30:34.580 By the way, Glenn, the clips that we played, a montage of some of the classic hits of Louis Farrakhan, that was happening in 2008 when Barack Obama was running for president.

00:30:45.280 People were putting together similar montages.

00:30:47.340 And it was not the right that was doing it.

00:30:49.860 It was the Clinton campaign.

00:30:51.640 So let's start there, because we have a clip.

00:30:55.000 This is of the Democratic primary debates between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

00:31:00.640 There's a difference between denouncing and rejecting.

00:31:03.800 And I think when it comes to this sort of, you know, inflammatory, I have no doubt that everything that Barack just said is absolutely sincere.

00:31:14.040 But I just think we've got to be even stronger.

00:31:16.860 We cannot let anyone in any way say these things because of the implications that they have, which can be so far reaching.

00:31:24.940 Tim, I have to say, I don't see a difference between denouncing and rejecting.

00:31:29.300 There's no formal offer.

00:31:30.800 Stop. If you remember right, he wouldn't denounce Jeremiah Wright at first.

00:31:38.220 He wouldn't.

00:31:38.780 No, he was a friend.

00:31:39.680 He would not.

00:31:40.380 Denouncing his own grandmother, remember?

00:31:41.740 Yes, my own grandmother.

00:31:43.260 He would not denounce.

00:31:45.060 But when he finally did, you were fine with it.

00:31:48.400 Half the country wasn't fine with it.

00:31:50.760 Just like half the country isn't fine with Donald Trump saying, look, I have nothing to do with these Nazis.

00:31:56.640 I don't agree with the Nazis. 0.63

00:31:58.080 He waited too long.

00:31:59.000 What about Barack Obama waiting so long, denouncing Jeremiah Wright?

00:32:02.980 It'd be like denouncing my own grandmother.

00:32:05.140 Donald Trump never said that.

00:32:07.880 You know, denying the Nazis and denying Richard Spencer would be like, you know, denying my own grandfather.

00:32:15.660 He never said that.

00:32:17.940 Never would.

00:32:18.980 Doesn't know him.

00:32:20.400 But you have a double standard.

00:32:24.540 Let me give you a couple of other real quick.

00:32:27.660 Another double standard.

00:32:30.220 Let's let's go here.

00:32:34.940 Let's go protesters at Schumer's house, please.

00:32:38.380 Senator Schumer.

00:32:40.260 Senator Schumer.

00:32:41.860 Is a politician.

00:32:43.400 Is a politician.

00:32:45.280 And many people think.

00:32:46.880 And many people think.

00:32:47.960 What is this?

00:32:48.880 This is something the press had a problem with because people were gathering and they were taking down Charles Schumer and they were at his home protesting about immigration reform.

00:32:59.520 But yet, did the press really have a problem when the same left went to the home of bankers and they were terrifying their children inside the house?

00:33:16.040 They didn't have a problem with it.

00:33:17.100 Or Ajit Pai, the FCC commissioner, because he was talking about, you know, does not like net neutrality.

00:33:23.200 They were at his house making threats to his family.

00:33:26.060 But who's to blame?

00:33:27.580 Try this one.

00:33:28.480 Donald Trump.

00:33:29.360 Who's to blame for the death threats that Don Lemon has received?

00:33:34.100 This is what happens when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, repeatedly attacks members of the press simply for reporting facts he does not like.

00:33:45.140 People take that message seriously.

00:33:49.900 And if one of us has heard, or God forbid, something else in some way or another because you either don't understand the power of your words and or you don't care, it won't be a fake injury or sadly a fake death.

00:34:02.900 It'll be real.

00:34:03.920 Okay, Don.

00:34:04.700 And how will you answer those questions then, not only from journalists but from our loved ones?

00:34:10.760 Okay, stop.

00:34:11.360 Don Lemon and I disagree on absolutely everything.

00:34:16.160 But Don is a guy that you can actually talk to, not agree with, but you can at least talk to him.

00:34:24.820 So, Don, let me talk to you.

00:34:26.480 Did you care when I was getting death threats all the time?

00:34:30.120 Did you?

00:34:30.540 Did you call out the left or did you just call me out for the language?

00:34:38.340 Did you call anyone on the left that were connected to the White House?

00:34:45.840 Did you?

00:34:46.420 Now, the president says fake news.

00:34:49.460 Well, did you call out Obama when he mocked teabaggers, quote, teabaggers?

00:34:56.500 Don, you know what that means.

00:34:57.780 Nobody uses teabagger except in a disparaging way.

00:35:03.400 And when you have the president walking around the stage saying those teabaggers and pretending he's holding up teabags, did you call him out for that kind of rhetoric?

00:35:14.340 No.

00:35:14.820 Now, that one's not exactly apples to apples, but it's in the neighborhood.

00:35:20.160 And with everything else, you can kind of see why half the country doesn't listen.

00:35:26.300 You can see why half the country says, he's my guy.

00:35:29.240 And until you see the duplicity, we're not going to be able to make progress.

00:35:35.420 Good news is, I don't think we need the media that much.

00:35:45.280 I really don't.

00:35:47.340 We're connecting with each other, and there's a ton of people that are tired of it.

00:35:51.740 Let me tell you about Liberty Safe.

00:35:53.120 Right now, you can buy a Liberty Safe at a great price and receive 12 months interest-free payments with zero down and zero APR.

00:36:00.400 Now, they even offer Liberty Safe for as low as $20 a month, $20 a month in eight years.

00:36:06.960 I've been doing this longer than eight years, haven't I?

00:36:08.780 Ten, 12 years with Liberty Safe?

00:36:10.540 Liberty Safe had, I don't know how many employees when I first started with them.

00:36:15.020 They are now, I think, the number one builder of safes here in America.

00:36:20.240 It's a huge operation, and their safes are built here in America, and they're great.

00:36:24.740 Now with 12 months interest-free payments and as low as $20 a month on approved credit.

00:36:29.320 Go to LibertySafe.com now, the home of the best-built safes on the planet.

00:36:41.700 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:36:46.860 Trust is an important thing.

00:36:49.280 It's something that we do a lot more as human beings than I think most people realize.

00:36:52.940 I mean, you drive down the road, and there's a little yellow line between a car coming at you at 50 miles an hour,

00:36:59.780 and you're on your side of the road, and they're on their side of the road,

00:37:01.780 and we just trust that they'll stay on their side of the road.

00:37:04.200 Their self-interest will do it, whatever it is.

00:37:06.960 We don't die most of the time when we're driving, and this is a positive thing.

00:37:11.300 It's hard, though, to find people you can trust when it comes to really complicated transactions like real estate.

00:37:17.380 I mean, what do you do?

00:37:18.900 You know, you're talking about your biggest investment in your entire life,

00:37:22.880 and you're trusting this to someone because you don't understand what any of those forms mean.

00:37:26.400 I never do.

00:37:27.500 No one does.

00:37:28.600 Half the people don't even read them.

00:37:30.800 You need someone who can walk you through a big transaction like buying or selling a home

00:37:35.920 and make sure there are people that you can trust that have been screened

00:37:39.280 that aren't just some random person you're looking up on the phone book.

00:37:42.820 Realestateagentsitrust.com is a company that Glenn actually started

00:37:45.120 because he was trying to sell his house and had some issues.

00:37:48.800 And basically what they do at realestateagentsitrust.com,

00:37:52.360 it's a network of 1,200 agents, and Glenn and his team have gone through

00:37:56.300 and kind of gone through and found the best ones in each area.

00:38:00.200 And you go and you put in your address and you put in your area where you are

00:38:03.100 and you find an agent you can trust.

00:38:05.560 It's your biggest investment.

00:38:06.980 You need to take it seriously.

00:38:08.560 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:10.760 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:14.440 Give it a shot.

00:38:15.120 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:22.300 Glenn, back.

00:38:24.900 We have so much to talk about.

00:38:29.300 Donald Trump has threatened Palestinian aid if they don't sit at the table

00:38:34.100 and they're not open to peace agreements with Israel.

00:38:36.680 Boy, this guy is tearing it up in the Middle East, in my opinion, in a very good way. 1.00

00:38:44.380 Um, uh, we also have to, uh, talk about Nancy Pelosi and the, and the left and how they are

00:38:52.000 telling the American people, you know, a thousand dollars doesn't mean anything to the American

00:38:56.220 people.

00:38:56.940 Wow.

00:38:57.500 That's next with Bill O'Reilly.

00:38:59.420 Glenn, back.

00:39:01.960 Mercury.

00:39:02.440 This year's Super Bowl, going to be legendary, of course, because the Eagles are going to be crushed and, and Stu will cry for weeks and weeks and weeks.

00:39:29.680 No.

00:39:30.320 What?

00:39:30.800 I'm just saying, I got, I got that from, uh, Google Home.

00:39:34.100 I just, I don't know.

00:39:35.440 Uh, Alexa is all about the Eagles.

00:39:37.400 Right.

00:39:37.700 In your house.

00:39:38.660 In your house.

00:39:39.040 No, in everybody's house.

00:39:39.680 And by the way, Google and Alexa, they don't even know.

00:39:42.420 Ask them.

00:39:43.740 Alexa, who is Jesus?

00:39:46.380 Google, who is Jesus?

00:39:48.300 They don't, they, they really are having a hard time defining who Jesus was and God.

00:39:54.900 I, sorry, I don't understand the question.

00:39:57.760 There's an easy definition to that, Google, which is Jesus and God are the people that are going to help the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

00:40:03.360 Yeah, whatever, whatever.

00:40:04.520 All right.

00:40:05.340 Philadelphia Eagles, somehow or another, have managed to have a fantastic season, make the championship game.

00:40:11.740 Uh, uh, you know, but it will be their last Super Bowl ever that they go to.

00:40:16.340 And I only say this as, as a complete, uh, as somebody who doesn't care at all, I just know how much it hurts, Stu, to hear.

00:40:26.680 Why do you hurt me?

00:40:27.700 Here's, here's why this, here's why this is going to be what, you know, probably one of the last great Super Bowls, if it is great at all, is, uh, three words, social justice committee.

00:40:39.920 National Football League has officially established an owner player social justice committee to create a dialogue to address the issues of race relations.

00:40:50.980 If it's inward focused, fine, whatever.

00:40:53.580 I don't care.

00:40:54.140 If you start preaching that to the rest of the country, last Super Bowl, the committee is going to focus on education, economic development, community and police relations, and the criminal justice system.

00:41:05.800 All great goals.

00:41:07.580 They've started a program called Let's Listen Together.

00:41:10.580 Another great goal.

00:41:12.300 It's going to use social media to highlight NFL players working on equality issues off the field.

00:41:19.000 Could be good.

00:41:21.120 Usually is a disaster.

00:41:22.740 I don't even care about football, and this makes me want to throw up.

00:41:29.620 And we want, and we have to thank Colin Kaepernick for the disgusting mix of politics and now sports or anything else we enjoy.

00:41:37.840 We cannot have two seconds to ourself.

00:41:42.060 You're on the bathroom.

00:41:43.260 You're in the toilet.

00:41:44.000 It's your office.

00:41:45.100 There's nothing going on.

00:41:46.560 Yep.

00:41:47.420 Yep.

00:41:47.720 Somebody will bring up that that's where Donald Trump tweets.

00:41:50.220 I mean, there's just, there's no, there's nothing not connected to politics now.

00:41:56.820 I just don't see how the NFL is going to survive this way.

00:42:00.000 There is zero justifiable reason for them to have a social justice committee.

00:42:05.880 Zero.

00:42:06.840 Except political correctness.

00:42:10.620 Everybody in the NFL should be there to work on one thing, and that is football.

00:42:15.040 You're there to play football.

00:42:16.460 When you stop playing good football, you should be fired.

00:42:20.140 When you're playing great football, you should get a raise.

00:42:23.420 If players want to promote social justice outside of their day jobs, that's fine.

00:42:27.820 Cool.

00:42:28.300 I'm fine with it.

00:42:29.460 It's your decision.

00:42:31.060 But don't make it something that the entire league has to do and preach.

00:42:35.060 And frankly, I think the NFL, you know, does a great job of bringing people of all backgrounds

00:42:41.160 together.

00:42:42.340 Do you remember watching football and feeling like, even me, like this is America.

00:42:49.440 This is all of us for this one moment coming together.

00:42:53.220 There's nothing that we still come together en masse like the Super Bowl, and they're destroying

00:42:58.500 it.

00:42:58.960 Every fan is equal.

00:43:02.560 Every fan is united when they're on the bleachers.

00:43:05.940 NFL, just remember that.

00:43:08.460 Keep doing that, and you'll be a huge force for good in America.

00:43:20.120 It's Friday, January 26th.

00:43:22.640 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:24.440 We have the one and the only, the legend, Bill O'Reilly.

00:43:30.860 Hello, Mr. O'Reilly.

00:43:31.720 How are you, sir?

00:43:32.880 I think you and Stu should form a social justice committee off the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:39.920 Well, you know, I...

00:43:41.980 I know you guys, when you're talking to me, I know you're kneeling.

00:43:46.820 Taking a knee in protest of Bill O'Reilly.

00:43:49.920 So, Bill, let's talk a little bit, first of all, your thoughts on the NFL that we just

00:43:54.900 talked about.

00:43:56.160 Well, I play college football, and I'm a football fan, unlike you, Beck, who just doesn't even

00:44:03.020 know a first down from a pretzel.

00:44:06.080 I do, because food is involved.

00:44:08.640 Oh, that's correct.

00:44:09.600 That's right.

00:44:09.940 Anyway, I, from the very beginning, have said, look, you work for somebody, you, the

00:44:17.700 players, you're alienating people paying money to see you, because they don't want the flag

00:44:26.980 and the anthem disrespected.

00:44:28.660 Certainly, there are other forums that you can use to get your point across, whatever

00:44:33.540 it may be.

00:44:35.100 So, you know, anybody working, this is with the crux of the matter, any working American

00:44:41.940 knows they can't walk into their company or their business with an armband on that may

00:44:48.140 offend half the customers in the store.

00:44:50.740 I think if you're talking about the same armband, I think it would be more than half of the customers.

00:44:57.320 Well, you could have an armband that says, I like Glenn Beck, and people would run for the

00:45:01.220 exits.

00:45:01.480 All right, okay, sure.

00:45:03.500 So, everybody knows that, and they're saying, well, I can't do it, and why are these people

00:45:10.500 offending me when I'm sitting here in 12-degree weather paying $500 for my ticket and $30 for

00:45:17.240 my beer?

00:45:18.200 So, it's really a matter of decorum and appropriate venue.

00:45:23.820 I don't want to use big words for stew, but that's really what it's about.

00:45:28.420 A venue is only five letters.

00:45:29.940 What do you mean a big word?

00:45:31.480 Okay, so, Bill, let's switch gears.

00:45:39.100 The New York Times said that the president considered firing Robert Mueller last June

00:45:46.940 and was talked out of it by his staff.

00:45:50.940 He was quite adamant, according to the report.

00:45:53.260 His staff said, Mr. President, you can't do that, and if you do, we'll quit.

00:45:56.260 And he decided not to do that.

00:45:59.020 So, a couple of questions.

00:46:02.120 Fox News has now verified this.

00:46:04.840 So, you have more than just the New York Times saying it.

00:46:08.860 You do have Fox News saying it.

00:46:10.860 The question is, do you believe it?

00:46:13.680 And more importantly, does it matter?

00:46:16.860 I'm shocked there is gambling going on in this establishment.

00:46:24.140 Are you kidding me?

00:46:26.140 Are you kidding me?

00:46:27.820 Every human being on Earth knows that Donald Trump is furious about this allegation of Russian collusion.

00:46:37.700 Everyone knows that.

00:46:39.460 And people like me, who've known the man for 30 years, will understand that the president gets in dark moods.

00:46:47.820 When he gets into dark moods, he lashes out.

00:46:53.860 So, this story I'm reading, I'm going, what is surprising about this?

00:46:58.240 Well, he...

00:46:58.880 Nothing.

00:46:59.520 Okay, so I agree with you so far.

00:47:01.980 It is in...

00:47:02.920 Because now you're following me.

00:47:04.100 It is in his character to do that.

00:47:07.780 Of course.

00:47:08.400 And it's usually not in his character not to follow through.

00:47:13.800 So, it shows growth there.

00:47:15.580 Not so fast.

00:47:16.760 Not so fast.

00:47:17.820 This was reported back last summer.

00:47:21.360 And his whole staff looked at him.

00:47:23.760 You know, he came in and said,

00:47:24.600 Ah, you're at Mueller.

00:47:26.360 He's a pain.

00:47:27.380 You know, look at him.

00:47:28.440 He quit my golf club because my fees were too high.

00:47:31.920 He's got to go.

00:47:33.700 And they're looking at him and going,

00:47:35.240 Do you have any blanket idea what's going to happen to you and this administration if you fire Robert Mueller?

00:47:41.320 Sure.

00:47:41.980 You can't do it.

00:47:43.340 And so then what happens is that Trump goes,

00:47:46.500 Ah, I'm going to do it anyway.

00:47:47.700 Right.

00:47:48.240 And then a half hour later, they're on to something else and Trump forgets about it.

00:47:52.860 Okay.

00:47:53.300 So, that's who the man is.

00:47:56.540 Right.

00:47:57.120 And there's...

00:47:57.680 That's how he's conducted his life.

00:48:00.440 So, I read the story and I go,

00:48:02.120 Yeah, it's true.

00:48:03.040 And I'll tell you where it came from.

00:48:04.720 It came from Steve Bannon.

00:48:06.580 All right?

00:48:06.900 Because Steve Bannon doesn't like Trump, got fired, not doing well, and he's going to feed the New York Times and everybody else who hates Trump, all kinds of stuff.

00:48:15.520 But the timing of it is perfect.

00:48:17.440 As I write on BillOReilly.com today, and I want everybody to go there and read my message of the day, this would, the timing of it was to divert attention away from the unbelievable FBI situation.

00:48:28.860 Okay.

00:48:29.180 Before we get into that, I have to wrap this up.

00:48:33.460 There's two things here that, in this New York Times story, that I do not find surprising.

00:48:38.980 I was not shocked that Donald Trump went in and said, I want to fire this guy.

00:48:44.360 Nobody was surprised.

00:48:45.340 Nobody's surprised.

00:48:46.200 Claude Rains, who's been dead for 40 years, was not surprised.

00:48:49.560 Okay.

00:48:49.900 So, here's the other revelation in this that, again, is not surprising to me.

00:48:56.640 That the White House doesn't tell the truth all the time.

00:49:01.160 What White House ever tells the truth?

00:49:05.680 I'm just thinking.

00:49:06.620 I'm just thinking, if stuff is going to make you look bad, I go, I knew it.

00:49:11.800 Look, it's just a matter of parsing words.

00:49:14.780 Did you actually say the word fire?

00:49:17.940 I never said that word.

00:49:19.240 Well, I will deny it.

00:49:20.860 You know, come on.

00:49:21.660 Everybody knows politicians, you know, what they do and all of that.

00:49:27.980 But I think the story is essentially correct.

00:49:30.860 But it's not an important story.

00:49:32.920 It'll be gone by Monday.

00:49:34.140 But it was dropped to take attention away from the FBI story.

00:49:39.260 Okay.

00:49:40.640 If you listen to the mainstream press, which I don't, but I get updates on it.

00:49:45.460 If you listen to the mainstream press, they are obsessed with the FBI investigation.

00:49:50.840 And they are also obsessed by pointing out that people like you and me are saying, well, hang on here just a second.

00:50:00.560 What is the real charge?

00:50:03.700 What is really going on?

00:50:05.380 Some of this could be nonsense.

00:50:06.700 And I want to know what's happening inside the FBI.

00:50:10.900 I want to know, open this up and let the chips fall where they may.

00:50:18.060 The media doesn't like that.

00:50:19.840 You got to start with John Mellencamp.

00:50:23.120 A little ditty about Jack and Diane.

00:50:26.240 And you change the words to a little ditty about Peter and Lisa.

00:50:31.360 Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

00:50:35.280 Two high-ranking FBI officials assigned to the Hillary Clinton email investigation and then transferred over to the Russian collusion investigation.

00:50:46.020 These people were having an affair.

00:50:49.260 All right.

00:50:49.760 And they were texting like mad people back and forth, saying bad things about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, not so much, but, you know, a few, and everybody else.

00:51:01.160 They were trashing them.

00:51:02.160 All right.

00:51:02.840 However, they were basically putting forth that the Hillary Clinton email investigation was over before they even investigated.

00:51:11.940 They knew that they weren't going to charge Secretary Clinton with anything before she was even interviewed or anything was even written.

00:51:20.780 That's huge because Strzok was second in command in that investigation.

00:51:26.880 Fast forward over to Mueller.

00:51:28.660 He hires Strzok.

00:51:30.040 All right.

00:51:30.600 Strzok goes on in and he's saying that Trump is an idiot.

00:51:34.340 We got to get rid of him.

00:51:35.560 He can't get elected.

00:51:36.720 And then after he's elected, he's there.

00:51:38.420 We got to do something about it.

00:51:40.540 That's huge.

00:51:42.000 This is enormous.

00:51:43.800 So you got to think that Mueller and Comey, the FBI chief at the time, knew their investigators, hated him, hated Trump, and were in the tank for Hillary.

00:51:56.800 Got to assume it.

00:51:57.740 What do you say to the Republicans who say, look, even Strzok said there's no there there.

00:52:04.740 But what he actually said was, I don't want to be a part of this Trump investigation in a text.

00:52:10.740 I don't want to be a part of this because I don't think there's any there there.

00:52:14.240 Well, I don't even care about that because the investigation should proceed.

00:52:19.720 I was an American.

00:52:20.840 I want to know if the Russians did anything.

00:52:24.060 And I want to know if the Trump campaign did anything.

00:52:26.500 So I don't care what Peter Strzok thinks.

00:52:29.020 But doesn't Peter Strzok saying, I don't think there's any there there, show that he's not like – I know that.

00:52:36.760 But it does show that he's not like, yes, give me any opportunity to destroy this guy.

00:52:42.060 No, but it does indicate that this whole thing is a fabrication, all right?

00:52:50.100 So he's not saying, I want Trump to get a pass on it, or Trump is innocent.

00:52:54.700 He's not saying that.

00:52:56.060 He's just saying, I don't really want to get involved with this because, you know, there's nothing really for me to do.

00:53:01.600 Because it didn't happen.

00:53:02.920 But he made it clear in his text, which Beck disappeared on Monday, but on Tuesday, we found him.

00:53:11.860 I know.

00:53:12.600 We found him.

00:53:13.940 I know.

00:53:15.260 Yay! 0.99

00:54:45.000 Mercury.

00:54:50.400 Glenn Beck.

00:54:51.280 The president is surrounded by his foes in Davos this week.

00:55:00.680 It's just humorous to have people be talking about secret societies and then have the president meeting with the people in Davos at the same time.

00:55:11.120 How's he doing in Davos, Bill?

00:55:12.960 You know, it's a dog and pony show.

00:55:16.980 It's the one real big thing President Trump has going for him is the economy.

00:55:24.560 And he's taking a victory lap over there saying, look, you know, we're back.

00:55:29.100 America's an economic force.

00:55:31.380 You guys should buy into it.

00:55:33.240 Invest in the USA.

00:55:35.720 My tax reform has stimulated economies.

00:55:40.120 You should do the same thing.

00:55:41.520 So, you know, this is something that helps him.

00:55:46.020 And the people who want to make money in the world, they're on his side.

00:55:52.180 And the good thing about Switzerland for Trump is that the Swiss, have you been to Switzerland, Beck?

00:55:57.640 No, I don't get to the bunny slopes in Switzerland.

00:56:01.880 You don't yodel?

00:56:02.880 No, I'm not Bill O'Reilly.

00:56:07.160 Yeah, I know.

00:56:07.960 I've been to every canton in Switzerland.

00:56:10.520 Protesters can't get near you.

00:56:12.380 Number one, the Swiss don't abide that. 0.84

00:56:14.840 And number two, it's just very, very hard to get anywhere because there's mountain roads that can be easily policed.

00:56:20.900 So Trump's going to have to deal with all the insane people he's going to have to deal with when he goes to London.

00:56:25.440 So for Trump, you know, it's a good exercise and he's promoting in the American economy, which is good right now.

00:56:32.640 Right.

00:56:32.820 But he's not really – it's not the people of the streets that would be concerning for him.

00:56:39.060 He's there with all the, you know, the big business and the globalists and everything else who probably don't agree with him and many of the American people.

00:56:46.100 No, he's not wearing Leidenhosen.

00:56:47.260 No.

00:56:47.700 Yes.

00:56:48.980 He's not in the cafe.

00:56:50.640 Correct.

00:56:51.580 Yodeling with the folks.

00:56:52.780 No.

00:56:52.980 Correct.

00:56:54.840 Tell me, do you believe that Donald Trump is going to testify under oath?

00:56:59.480 It would be foolish for him to do that.

00:57:03.280 So I don't believe he will do it.

00:57:05.580 And here's why.

00:57:07.420 Trump and his lawyers don't know what Robert Mueller has.

00:57:12.380 They don't know.

00:57:13.460 Okay.

00:57:15.060 And human beings have imperfect memories.

00:57:20.240 So Mueller has accusations.

00:57:23.140 You've got to figure that he has accusations.

00:57:25.540 Now, has he been able to prove the accusations?

00:57:28.140 I don't know.

00:57:28.860 Well, you don't know.

00:57:29.480 Trump doesn't know.

00:57:30.900 So when he goes in for an interview, Mueller could drop anything on him, anything.

00:57:36.880 On May 3rd, did you do this?

00:57:39.660 Did you do that?

00:57:40.240 Now, you figure his lawyers will go, come on.

00:57:41.920 I mean, we can't remember.

00:57:43.300 We've got to go look or this and that.

00:57:45.060 But there's too much that is unknown for any human being, not just Donald Trump, to go in,

00:57:52.300 talk to a special counsel who's been investigating for a year, who may have emails and texts,

00:57:57.280 and you don't know what he has.

00:57:58.860 So the logical way to do it is in writing form.

00:58:02.520 Submit your questions.

00:58:04.180 We'll go over the questions, and we'll, under oath and an affidavit, answer them.

00:58:08.940 They didn't know.

00:58:09.820 You don't, you know, you can research your own.

00:58:12.520 You don't have to get, you know, in a trap or anything like that.

00:58:15.180 Well, Ken Starr didn't allow that for Bill Clinton.

00:58:19.000 And while it didn't take Bill Clinton down, it did lead to impeachment hearings because of...

00:58:26.780 I think Mueller would allow that here.

00:58:30.320 It's a different situation.

00:58:32.940 So...

00:58:33.320 In what way?

00:58:34.240 In what way?

00:58:35.440 Bill Clinton was accused personally.

00:58:39.880 Donald Trump has not been.

00:58:40.980 That's what makes the difference of it.

00:58:44.760 So Donald Trump said, well, I didn't do anything.

00:58:47.380 I didn't collude.

00:58:48.660 And nobody's saying he did.

00:58:50.700 Right now, it looks like, and there's a lot of leaks coming out of the Mueller thing, which

00:58:54.940 disturbs me as an American, that they're going for an obstruction of justice, that Trump didn't

00:59:00.600 want an investigation, so therefore he fired Comey or whatever.

00:59:04.620 It doesn't look like there's anything.

00:59:06.900 So that's the difference.

00:59:08.160 Whereas, whereas Clinton... 0.95

00:59:09.400 He was the only one that really knew.

00:59:11.220 Yeah, and it was, the charges were personal against him.

00:59:14.580 Okay.

00:59:15.140 Back in just a second with Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

00:59:24.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:37.940 We're with Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com and his book, Killing England, bestseller in

00:59:44.180 the country.

00:59:45.560 And Bill, welcome.

00:59:47.080 The president has been battling with the Democrats, obviously, over DACA.

00:59:54.580 The Democrats want a path now to citizenship and the eventual right to vote.

00:59:59.560 President Trump said yesterday, quote, he is not adverse to that possibility as long

01:00:04.480 as he gets the border wall and other conditions met.

01:00:07.160 Now, this is something that that's, I think that's how most Americans feel.

01:00:12.180 That's the way I have felt.

01:00:13.680 It's certainly not the position that, you know, talk radio took or the conservatives took.

01:00:18.960 And I think that's mainly because, you know, when John McCain said it, we didn't believe

01:00:23.260 him.

01:00:23.760 When Rubio said it, we didn't believe him because of the gang of eight.

01:00:26.920 We thought the Democrats are just going to say that and then not do it.

01:00:32.540 What does Donald Trump have to do to make sure that we get security first and then DACA?

01:00:41.220 Well, first of all, you know, in the break, when the music comes back, you know, and you

01:00:47.980 start to talk again.

01:00:49.020 Yes.

01:00:49.420 I feel like I'm in a spa.

01:00:51.240 That's good.

01:00:51.980 Is it?

01:00:52.360 You'd be a little, you know, you're relaxed.

01:00:54.300 So relaxed.

01:00:55.120 Yeah, good.

01:00:55.660 I'm glad you brought this up, Bill, because I think America has noticed you seem to be

01:01:00.040 a tad fired up today.

01:01:01.540 Maybe a little relaxation would be a good maneuver.

01:01:03.880 Well, you know, right now, after that music, well, let me get back into writing mode.

01:01:09.660 You talk.

01:01:10.480 I'm going to put some more water on the rocks.

01:01:13.120 You know, I just lit some incense as well.

01:01:15.600 Okay.

01:01:16.300 So the DACA thing is, it's going to happen, I believe, because it should happen. 0.86

01:01:24.140 And there are fringe players on the left and the right that always are problems.

01:01:30.680 You know, and I'm talking to your audience now directly.

01:01:33.060 Don't be fringe.

01:01:35.220 You know, just step back.

01:01:37.340 This is a country that should promote compassion, America.

01:01:42.360 Yes, we have the biggest military.

01:01:44.320 We protect people.

01:01:46.300 We're tough guys when we have to be.

01:01:49.620 But, you know, the heart and the essence, if you read Killing England and you look at

01:01:54.420 George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, be compassionate.

01:01:59.000 So you get kids who are dragged here by their parents, and they're here for two decades, and

01:02:09.380 they've been educated, and they have a good job, and they're good citizens, and you want

01:02:14.240 to toss them?

01:02:15.820 No.

01:02:16.960 So that's where you start.

01:02:19.280 We'll find a way so they can stay here.

01:02:22.020 But in order to do that, you have to prevent this situation from ever happening again.

01:02:28.300 So, therefore, you have to build somewhat of a wall, and you have to have a system whereby

01:02:34.420 there's no chain migration.

01:02:36.860 That means that if you're allowed to come to the United States, you can't bring 40 people

01:02:41.680 with you to party.

01:02:43.400 Okay?

01:02:43.640 You can bring, you know, your spouse and your mom and your dad, okay, but that's it.

01:02:49.980 So there has to be a logic and a fairness brought to the situation, and I think it's going to

01:02:57.380 happen, but you're dealing with people who really don't care about other people.

01:03:01.760 I'm talking about the politicians.

01:03:03.680 They're party apparatchiks.

01:03:06.180 Okay.

01:03:06.440 So let's go back to the original question.

01:03:09.980 You know, I had Duncan Hunter on Senior, this when I was at CNN, and it was a hysterical

01:03:17.400 conversation because Duncan was trying to convince me, who I had a lot of respect for, and actually

01:03:21.880 did get the wall built in San Diego, which makes a difference.

01:03:26.900 He said to me, no, Glenn, we just passed the legislation, and he said over and over again,

01:03:30.820 it says in the legislation that the government shall build.

01:03:35.480 So that means they have to, or they break the law.

01:03:38.040 And I said, Duncan, they don't care.

01:03:40.140 He said, no, it's in writing now.

01:03:42.880 It shall be.

01:03:43.720 It's passed by Congress, signed by the president, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.

01:03:48.000 We still don't have a wall.

01:03:49.340 So what is it that the president needs to do and demand to make sure that that wall is actually done?

01:04:01.040 Well, he's got the fund.

01:04:02.260 He wants the money.

01:04:03.540 As soon as he gets the money, then he orders it built.

01:04:05.440 So it's pretty simple, but he's got to lay it out to the American people that A leads 0.96

01:04:12.640 to B, leads to C, leads to D in a very, very clear way so that, you know, we're fair, we're

01:04:18.620 compassionate, but we're going to protect ourselves because we can't have this chaos go on and

01:04:23.200 on and on and on.

01:04:24.580 You know, look, it's a matter of selling it.

01:04:26.800 And, you know, can Trump do it?

01:04:28.380 I don't know, but I could, you could, Stu even could.

01:04:34.140 So you got to sell it.

01:04:36.540 But we go back to the compassionate country.

01:04:39.200 I think this is what we should be.

01:04:41.580 I don't think people, I really don't think, except for a very small handful of people,

01:04:47.180 I don't think people have a problem with this if the border is secure.

01:04:52.340 I just don't.

01:04:53.220 And the chain migration stops.

01:04:55.120 Yes, yes.

01:04:56.140 All right.

01:04:56.620 All right.

01:04:56.860 So that you tighten it up.

01:04:58.580 Okay.

01:05:00.720 Do you remember when Barack Obama did a stimulus package, an infrastructure bill that was almost

01:05:07.580 a trillion dollars and all of us went bananas?

01:05:13.000 A trillion dollars on infrastructure and he was going to build roads and bridges and it

01:05:17.000 was going to be great and yada, yada, yada.

01:05:18.980 Donald Trump has proposed this week as much as 1.7.

01:05:26.940 So a trillion dollars more than that stimulus package from Barack Obama, a trillion dollars

01:05:33.980 more for roads, bridges and infrastructure thoughts.

01:05:39.660 What happened to the Obama infrastructure improvements?

01:05:43.660 Did you see him?

01:05:45.820 Well, I used to, I saw a lot of signs.

01:05:49.000 Yes, I did see.

01:05:49.740 Well, I live in New York City and the whole place is falling apart.

01:05:52.340 Right.

01:05:53.300 Right.

01:05:53.620 I mean, the roads, the bridges, everything is right now.

01:05:56.360 They built the Tappan Zee Bridge, a new one.

01:05:58.880 They had some federal funds.

01:06:00.060 But look, you know, this is what these people always do.

01:06:03.500 Ah, we're going to spend another trillion, seven, and we're going to do X, Y, and Z.

01:06:08.720 And then, you know, 10 years later, you're going, well, where is that?

01:06:13.960 So, I mean, that's when it gets really murky.

01:06:16.800 But yeah, Trump's going to do the infrastructure deal and we'll probably have a superhighway

01:06:21.500 from the Mexican wall right up to Minneapolis.

01:06:24.340 That's called, that's called the, what was that, what was that called?

01:06:28.840 The Trans-American Corridor, something like that?

01:06:32.080 No, it's going to be called the, you better not come here highway.

01:06:34.760 I feel like we went through a last year, Bill, with Trump doing a lot of policy things that

01:06:42.660 I really liked, a lot of the things that he agreed with me on.

01:06:47.120 He acted on taxes and a lot of his executive policies.

01:06:50.920 He seems to be starting this year, though, with a lot of the opposite because he, things

01:06:55.320 like tariffs and things like, you know, infrastructure packages.

01:07:00.180 I mean, this thing he did with washing machines, where he put a tariff on washing machines, that's

01:07:05.260 going to cost American people, American workers money out of their own pockets.

01:07:10.660 He doesn't care about the washing machines or the solar panels.

01:07:13.860 I mean, then nobody cares about it.

01:07:15.580 The big thing that he wants to do is create these jobs that would build the roads and the

01:07:21.280 bridges and, you know, make the salaries go up for all the construction people.

01:07:27.880 That's what he's really trying to do here.

01:07:29.640 He does believe in tariffs.

01:07:31.600 I mean, the one thing that he was very, very strong on during the campaign and has been

01:07:35.140 consistent his entire life is tariffs.

01:07:38.120 He does believe in that.

01:07:39.640 He wants to use that as a cudgel, word of the day, cudgel, to get better trade agreements

01:07:46.980 with the offending parties.

01:07:49.740 We're going to slap this on you unless you give us a better deal.

01:07:53.100 That's how he's always negotiated.

01:07:54.960 That's how he buys his golf courses.

01:07:57.760 Yeah.

01:07:58.520 So that's what he does.

01:07:59.400 He wants better trade deals and he uses the tariffs as a threat.

01:08:02.800 But these tariffs, and he put these on washing machines and solar panels, are just a redistribution

01:08:08.720 of wealth.

01:08:10.020 What we're doing is we're charging people who are buying washing machines an extra fifty

01:08:14.720 hundred dollars.

01:08:15.540 And then we are rerouting that money to someone who supposedly works in an American factory.

01:08:21.600 And we've seen the results when these things are tried.

01:08:23.600 It's something like nine hundred thousand dollars per job, which is just not justifiable to me.

01:08:29.800 I don't understand why he's pursuing these policies.

01:08:31.620 I hate to say this, Stu, but you're much smarter than I am on this issue.

01:08:35.740 I just can't.

01:08:37.860 It's a rare moment.

01:08:39.440 A rare moment.

01:08:40.060 We're going to put this.

01:08:41.640 I mean, for me, I wash a machine, I throw the socks, and I walk away.

01:08:45.040 This is a moment that has to go into the Museum of Radio History.

01:08:50.120 Humility, humility from Bill O'Reilly.

01:08:54.520 Bill, let me flip the script on this, going from something that he's doing that, you know,

01:09:01.720 I don't agree with, to Jerusalem and the embassy.

01:09:06.340 Stunning that Mike Pence said, we're going to be in there soon, at least in a temporary

01:09:12.100 embassy.

01:09:12.640 And then he came out and said, by the way, no more aid to Palestine if the Palestinians

01:09:19.200 are not willing to sit down and seriously consider peace with Israel.

01:09:23.800 Well, it's good, right?

01:09:24.980 It's unbelievable.

01:09:25.860 Why should we be sending all this money to the Palestinians and the Pakistanis, other 0.98

01:09:29.960 countries, when they turn around and they hurt us?

01:09:31.840 Yeah.

01:09:32.280 So, you know, look, Trump fashions himself as a tough guy.

01:09:37.120 And, you know, he creates these scenarios.

01:09:40.560 I mean, for most Americans, they don't care whether the embassy is in the Jerusalem or

01:09:44.680 Tel Aviv.

01:09:45.240 They don't care.

01:09:46.320 But again, there's a method to his madness.

01:09:48.600 He's basically sending a signal that we want cooperation and we don't get it.

01:09:53.660 You're not getting any money.

01:09:54.920 And, you know, I think the Jerusalem thing is a good deal.

01:09:59.100 So I'm going to do it.

01:10:00.280 And that's it.

01:10:01.160 I mean, he doesn't really care what other people think, unlike President Obama, for

01:10:06.500 example, I mean, who cared tremendously about what they thought in Bangladesh about what

01:10:12.600 he did, you know, or quite honestly, where Bangladesh is, quite honestly, or like people

01:10:18.920 like George W. Bush, who claim to care about those things, but the policies didn't match.

01:10:24.500 I mean, yeah, but he was, you know, right.

01:10:27.880 I, I'll agree with that, but, but Bush had so much on his plate with the terrorism and

01:10:32.500 I mean, my God.

01:10:34.840 Yeah, I get it.

01:10:36.600 But I mean, I, I'm, I'm trying to throw Donald Trump a pretty massive compliment here that

01:10:43.120 when it comes to many things, but the Middle East in particular, he has wiped out ISIS in

01:10:50.320 under a year, uh, he has moved the embassy, which will be in under 18 months, uh, and he

01:10:57.420 is starting to be tough on the Palestinians and saying, look, you, you want peace, we'll

01:11:02.900 do peace.

01:11:03.440 If not, we're not funding you because you don't get any money.

01:11:06.660 You don't get any money.

01:11:07.360 That's, that's remarkable.

01:11:08.960 Can I ask you an interesting question?

01:11:10.660 Yeah.

01:11:10.980 Uh, real quick.

01:11:11.900 Yeah.

01:11:12.300 So Trump goes over to Davos and he meets with the British prime minister, Netanyahu, the head

01:11:18.540 of the Swiss Federation and the president of Rwanda.

01:11:23.880 Those are the four he had private meetings with.

01:11:26.760 Why did he meet with the Rwanda guy?

01:11:29.280 Can I tell you something?

01:11:30.480 And you're going to, you're, you're, it's another moment of humility.

01:11:34.220 I've met with the, the, uh, uh, president of Rwanda.

01:11:38.680 Uh, that's why Trump did it.

01:11:40.320 No, no, listen, listen.

01:11:41.660 If there is somebody, if there is somebody in the world today that can teach the world what

01:11:46.560 it needs to know, it is the president of Rwanda.

01:11:49.940 But why do you think he did it?

01:11:52.520 Other than he, the guy's smart and, and isn't why he did it because of the S hole comment 0.80

01:11:59.620 to show the world that he has respect for a black African nation.

01:12:06.520 That's why he did it.

01:12:07.600 Hmm.

01:12:08.240 It's really sad.

01:12:08.900 Cause I was, I was hoping that there was more to it that, uh, thanks for shattering

01:12:14.260 that for me, Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com.

01:12:17.640 Anything special going on?

01:12:19.560 You know, we had, uh, probably our best week of analysis and we've opened it up for everybody

01:12:24.100 this weekend.

01:12:24.720 If you go to billoreilly.com, you'll see how I positioned the FBI story and the facts that

01:12:30.440 we, uh, brought to bear, because you're not going to get that in the mainstream media.

01:12:33.980 You're simply not going to get it.

01:12:35.020 You're not going to get on cable news.

01:12:36.520 You're not going to get the newspapers.

01:12:38.080 So we really, really had a real strong week.

01:12:41.620 We're ahead of the story.

01:12:42.860 Uh, I think this FBI story is just going to break wide.

01:12:46.440 And there's another dispatch that just came to me, um, that says they went easy on Hillary

01:12:51.760 Clinton because they feared she would win the election and they didn't want a reprisal. 0.94

01:12:55.720 This is the FBI.

01:12:56.920 Right.

01:12:57.160 So want everybody to go to billoreilly.com, sign up for premium membership.

01:13:00.860 It's worth your while to do it.

01:13:02.700 Um, you listen to Beck in the, in the daytime.

01:13:05.020 You go at a night to billoreilly.com and you got it.

01:13:08.620 You got the story of this country.

01:13:12.100 So there you go.

01:13:13.440 Thank you for help, Bill.

01:13:14.160 Have a good weekend.

01:13:14.900 All right.

01:13:15.080 All right.

01:13:15.700 Bye-bye.

01:13:15.940 An interesting appearance from Bill today.

01:13:23.820 He's very fired up.

01:13:26.680 I would say.

01:13:27.660 Well, he was on his game and then he also apparently does not care about washing machines.

01:13:31.980 That was one thing we learned.

01:13:33.140 He does not care about washing machines.

01:13:34.860 So we'll remember that for next time.

01:13:36.360 I'll try dryers next week.

01:13:37.780 All right.

01:13:42.040 Let me talk to you a little bit about getting a good night's sleep.

01:13:45.420 Sleep makes all the difference in the world.

01:13:48.140 If you're not getting a good night's sleep, if you're not getting REM sleep, I went 10 years

01:13:54.200 without having REM sleep, uh, your body does not repair itself.

01:14:00.160 If you're not getting a good night's sleep, you are, uh, there's, there's no way you're

01:14:05.260 going to have a good day.

01:14:06.080 There's no way you're going to hold things together.

01:14:07.680 Um, last year I, I really started, um, uh, just doing absolutely anything and everything

01:14:15.920 I could to change my life, to change my health.

01:14:19.220 This, this year I am, that's my number one priority is just to just get healthy and, uh,

01:14:26.080 and, and, and, and be a normal human being, uh, again, health-wise.

01:14:30.880 You might be able to pull off one of those things, either the healthy or the normal human

01:14:35.380 being.

01:14:35.580 I did say health-wise.

01:14:36.620 I did say health-wise.

01:14:37.680 Okay.

01:14:38.100 So you're not, you're not reaching that high.

01:14:39.240 I'm not a dreamer.

01:14:40.160 Okay.

01:14:40.440 I'm not a dreamer, man.

01:14:41.540 Okay, good.

01:14:41.920 Anyway, Casper mattress has really, uh, helped me get a great night's sleep.

01:14:46.180 They have, um, it's a foam mattress.

01:14:49.120 I know.

01:14:49.880 If you've ever had a foam mattress, you're like, oh, good.

01:14:52.420 It's the fire's a hell hot.

01:14:54.860 Casper is not.

01:14:56.040 What they did is they went to researchers and they came up with a breathable foam that keeps

01:15:00.740 you, uh, the right temperature.

01:15:02.300 I mean, you are not going to be hot.

01:15:03.740 It's breathable material.

01:15:04.820 Plus the mattresses are built to last for years and they're built for your body.

01:15:09.180 Casper best night's sleep.

01:15:11.040 And don't take it for me.

01:15:12.280 Is that they don't, this is the difference with Casper is they want to send it to you.

01:15:16.320 They will send it to you.

01:15:51.940 Glenn Beck.

01:15:55.100 So glad that you've tuned in.

01:15:56.980 It is, it is Friday.

01:15:58.940 We're going to talk a little bit more about the news, but also some of the things that you can do this weekend.

01:16:04.420 You see Elton John is doing his last tour.

01:16:07.720 300 dates.

01:16:10.760 What is he?

01:16:11.640 Like a thousand?

01:16:12.660 300 dates.

01:16:14.440 It might be his farewell tour because he may not make it off the road.

01:16:26.440 Glenn Beck.

01:16:28.400 Mercury.

01:16:42.660 Love.

01:16:45.600 Courage.

01:16:47.340 Truth.

01:16:49.080 Glenn Beck.

01:16:51.220 I want you to know we're all doomed.

01:16:53.400 I mean, there's not a, there's, we're not going to make it.

01:16:56.300 We're not going to make it.

01:16:57.720 Yesterday, a very disturbing bulletin came out from atomic scientists, which, you know, might sound like a secret society of weirdos.

01:17:08.760 But they got together and moved the doomsday clock 30 seconds ahead.

01:17:14.800 And I remember as a kid, that doomsday clock and the fear it instilled in me.

01:17:24.180 And, and of course we all died, you know, back in the, in the seventies when they were, they were doing this.

01:17:30.980 I mean, they've been doing the, you know, the doomsday clock for a while, you know, they, they, it's two minutes till midnight now on the doomsday clock.

01:17:38.380 And, uh, it hasn't been two minutes to, to midnight since 1953.

01:17:43.380 And you remember, right?

01:17:45.900 I mean, you remember what was doomsday, doomsday 1956 when the world exploded, um, and everybody died.

01:17:53.620 And then again, they set the doomsday clock.

01:17:56.300 I think it was like three minutes to, um, uh, to midnight, uh, you know, right during the Reagan administration.

01:18:02.960 It was just crazy.

01:18:03.900 And you remember we all died, but, um, you know, this isn't some Casio doomsday clock.

01:18:11.060 This is the official doomsday clock.

01:18:12.860 This is the one that should freak you out.

01:18:14.220 The board, uh, of the, uh, bulletin of atomic scientists, 15 Nobel prize winners.

01:18:20.800 And you don't just, you don't, you do not win a Nobel prize for nothing.

01:18:28.200 Anyway, um, they have been setting the doomsday clock for a while.

01:18:32.100 They've been setting this thing for 71 years.

01:18:35.200 And one of the members said at a press conference today, the danger of some sort of nuclear catastrophe is greater than it was during the cold war.

01:18:43.600 And most people are blissfully unaware of this danger.

01:18:47.460 Worse than the cold war.

01:18:50.960 Now, what's the alarm?

01:18:52.560 Well, the failure of president Trump and other world leaders to deal with the looming threats of nuclear war and climate change.

01:19:00.800 Yeah.

01:19:02.500 10 years ago, the group said climate change is nearly as dire as the danger of nuclear weapons.

01:19:08.540 But that was before Donald Trump got in.

01:19:10.880 Now they are equally as dangerous.

01:19:14.560 Trump and climate change.

01:19:17.000 Those are the ultimate boogeyman of the left.

01:19:19.560 Another doomsday spokesman said the risk of nuclear weapons being used undoubtedly increased last year, which is why they've decided to move the clock ahead 30 seconds.

01:19:29.140 But they also said that the danger is worse because of humanity's inaction on climate change.

01:19:35.660 It's crazy.

01:19:36.660 Now, reading between the lines, I guess that means the world is getting hotter and then it will get super, super hot.

01:19:47.420 And, you know, people will be in a bad mood because it's hotter, as we know, in, you know, in Chicago.

01:19:53.380 When it gets hot, if there's a heat wave in Chicago, that is what causes everybody to break down.

01:19:59.660 So if it gets hot like it does in Chicago and it's a heat wave all around the world, nuclear war, and then it's 7,000 degrees.

01:20:06.620 And I don't know what to do because I wasn't around in 1956 when it was this close to doomsday.

01:20:12.800 And, of course, we had the doomsday, you know, when everybody died back then and in the 70s.

01:20:17.320 I don't remember them clearly, so I don't know what we would do.

01:20:21.580 Now, I hate to sound insensitive to the doomsday crowd because nuclear weapons aren't a joke.

01:20:31.380 But your argument kind of loses the punch when you put climate change as the same danger as nuclear weapons.

01:20:41.040 And I know, I know climate change.

01:20:42.960 Here's one.

01:20:44.080 Let's try AI.

01:20:45.240 You know how they described AI was part of moving it?

01:20:49.560 And they said, but that's the vague threat of AI.

01:20:54.920 AI researchers will tell you that AI has a much better chance of happening in the next 20 years than anything with climate change.

01:21:05.600 And the good news, if you want to look for good news with AI, AI might give us all of the answers on how we can protect the planet.

01:21:14.080 But I just want to give credit to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

01:21:19.660 I mean, they won a Nobel Prize.

01:21:21.040 And again, they just don't give those out.

01:21:24.140 Not that nuclear war isn't a serious threat, but we need a separate, larger, more urgent clock that counts us down to AI, counts us down to all of the troubles, counts us down to all of us just tearing each other apart.

01:21:41.760 How about that one?

01:21:44.120 Maybe that's a doomsday clock that we should be watching.

01:21:49.020 And, you know, not just because the guy who's in office you don't like.

01:21:54.460 It's Friday, January 26th.

01:22:02.900 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:05.060 Now, did they move the doomsday clock when Barack Obama was turning a blind eye to the nuclear program of Iran?

01:22:14.300 Did they move the doomsday clock when the entire Middle East went up in flames because of the Arab Spring, which we helped support? 0.94

01:22:24.720 Hmm.

01:22:25.240 No, no.

01:22:26.140 That was all fine.

01:22:27.300 Nothing to worry about there.

01:22:29.560 Just now.

01:22:30.900 Just now.

01:22:31.840 Because Donald Trump, man.

01:22:36.080 Well, it's a point.

01:22:36.600 We're talking 0.9 degrees over a century, Glenn.

01:22:39.880 That's almost a full degree, as you know.

01:22:43.080 Well, no, wait a minute.

01:22:44.060 Wait a minute.

01:22:44.500 Wait a minute.

01:22:45.320 There is evidence now that we are going into another ice age.

01:22:48.260 Right, which is a change in climate.

01:22:52.720 Yes.

01:22:53.340 Climate change.

01:22:54.500 Climate change.

01:22:55.840 Thank you.

01:22:56.860 So the worst case scenario is that we've all been killed by the ice age and then warmed back up by the launch of all of the nuclear weapons.

01:23:12.120 Right.

01:23:12.580 That's best case.

01:23:13.340 Yeah.

01:23:13.700 I will say.

01:23:14.160 Well, that's the best case?

01:23:15.060 I think that's the best case scenario.

01:23:16.020 Oh, that was the worst case.

01:23:16.700 Because that can keep us right around even.

01:23:18.480 We'll get the ice age plus the nuclear, oh, crap, nuclear winter.

01:23:21.600 That means it can get cold after that.

01:23:23.220 So, okay.

01:23:24.180 You ready?

01:23:24.720 Here's the bad thing.

01:23:25.760 Okay.

01:23:25.940 Think of this one.

01:23:27.120 We're all like, oh, my gosh.

01:23:28.980 We're just grazing like the woolly mammoth and we've got buttercups in our stomach.

01:23:33.720 A flash freeze comes.

01:23:36.020 But just before the flash freeze, some crazy man like Donald Trump says, oh, I'll show you a flash freeze.

01:23:44.260 And he hits the button.

01:23:45.920 The missiles launch.

01:23:47.380 We still have frozen buttercups in our stomach.

01:23:49.960 Like, we're de-thawed, you know, with 7,000 degrees.

01:23:54.100 Yep.

01:23:54.540 Okay.

01:23:55.340 And then nuclear, and we're like, whoo, okay.

01:23:59.080 Then nuclear winter happens and we're frozen again, flash frozen.

01:24:04.840 We still will have buttercups in our stomach, except now they'll be a little cooked.

01:24:11.020 What do we do?

01:24:11.800 That's bad.

01:24:12.560 No, it's a little complicated, but it could happen.

01:24:16.100 Here's the thing, and I think what you're not factoring in is that before global warming kills us, we will already be dead from net neutrality.

01:24:26.460 We will already be dead from pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, and we will already be triple dead from the tax cuts.

01:24:33.980 How about the Nazis? 0.65

01:24:35.560 And the Nazis. 0.78

01:24:36.700 Right.

01:24:36.920 So we're quadruple dead before any of this even happens, which is one good thing.

01:24:42.800 Well, you said tax cuts, but you notice, I just want to point out to the audience, you notice he didn't use the real words of the real threat, trickle-down economics.

01:24:52.320 I should have called it trickle-down, a trickle-down tax-mageddon.

01:24:55.660 That is what I should have.

01:24:56.900 Well, can I tell you something?

01:24:57.880 I would like to offer proof of that tax-mageddon.

01:25:01.200 Oh, my gosh.

01:25:01.780 Okay, I'm going to offer proof.

01:25:03.420 First of all, shield your ears if you have children.

01:25:05.080 First of all, I just want to issue this warning.

01:25:07.760 California is again out on the progressive edge.

01:25:12.640 They believe in progress.

01:25:14.360 I want you to know that California lawmakers are now considering a $1,000 fine for waiters who offer an unsolicited plastic straw.

01:25:26.100 They are ahead of their time.

01:25:32.140 They are.

01:25:32.580 And if you're a waiter and you offer an unsolicited plastic straw, may God have mercy on your soul.

01:25:39.920 Anyway, let's go to the tax-mageddon because also California lawmakers are thinking about taxing, giving an extra tax to the corporations because they say that all of that money that they're now saving through federal income tax should go to the state.

01:26:01.440 But I'm having a hard time with it because there are many people that say that tax is meaningless.

01:26:08.300 All those tax savings.

01:26:10.060 For instance, Stu, what's $1,000 mean to you?

01:26:14.780 I will.

01:26:17.280 When I take my hand out of my pocket, largely.

01:26:20.600 Yeah.

01:26:20.840 You know, $1,000 just falls to the ground.

01:26:24.060 I don't even notice it.

01:26:25.300 It's nothing.

01:26:26.060 Let me try this.

01:26:26.860 I crap $1,000 bills.

01:26:28.920 Okay?

01:26:29.440 That's because Woodrow Wilson, I think he was the one on the $100,000 bill, right?

01:26:35.020 I crap $100,000 bills.

01:26:37.260 So what's $1,000 to you?

01:26:38.060 What's $1,000 to me if I'm crapping $100,000 bills?

01:26:41.500 Okay?

01:26:42.060 You should change your diet.

01:26:43.040 But yeah, I agree.

01:26:44.440 So it's fiber.

01:26:45.860 It is.

01:26:46.700 It's fiber.

01:26:47.940 So anyway, this is the most ridiculous thing.

01:26:50.980 And let's start with Debbie Wasserman Schultz on how meaningless this trickle-down economics

01:27:00.240 really is.

01:27:01.280 You are getting raises, bonuses.

01:27:06.060 The companies are investing in their own companies, hiring more people.

01:27:10.780 Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Exhibit A on how out of touch they really are.

01:27:16.820 Frankly, if you look at the bonuses, I mean, which I haven't heard of the corporate bonus

01:27:22.480 more than $1,000 so far, which by the way is tax, so it's not $1,000.

01:27:29.620 And then you spread $1,000 over the course of a year to figure out how much that is.

01:27:36.160 Typically, of course, they get it all at once, but I'm not sure that $1,000, which is taxable,

01:27:45.820 goes very far for almost anyone.

01:27:48.400 All right.

01:27:48.840 Hang on just a second.

01:27:50.000 So they're saying that you're getting $1,000, but it's taxable.

01:27:54.160 I mean, the government's going to take a bunch of money.

01:27:56.260 All of a sudden, they care about tax rates.

01:27:57.700 All of a sudden, the taxes matter.

01:27:59.040 That's amazing.

01:27:59.780 It matters.

01:28:00.780 You know, if you're making $50,000 a year, you know, if they take 20% of your money, if

01:28:06.740 they take 15% of your money, that's an awful lot of money.

01:28:10.180 I'm not sure that that $50,000 really even matters.

01:28:14.200 Excuse me?

01:28:15.860 Incredible.

01:28:17.180 Incredible.

01:28:18.720 Now, $1,000 to get a $1,000 bonus.

01:28:24.640 I'll take it.

01:28:25.580 I don't know anybody who scoffs at $1,000 bonus.

01:28:30.040 $1,000 is a lot.

01:28:32.040 Yeah.

01:28:33.080 Yeah.

01:28:33.680 I mean, you know, that's a nice chunk of cash.

01:28:36.900 It could be gas for most of the year.

01:28:39.740 It could be birth control.

01:28:42.380 Birth control for 250 months of birth.

01:28:46.520 Think of that.

01:28:46.920 Remember how much they freaked out over the $4 birth control because Sandra Fluke had to

01:28:51.100 have it for free?

01:28:51.860 Yeah.

01:28:52.340 And we were called haters for saying, how much is birth control?

01:28:58.380 Right.

01:28:58.580 Walmart at the time was offering it.

01:29:00.240 I don't know if they still are, but they were offering it for $4 a month.

01:29:03.240 $4 a month for birth control.

01:29:04.860 That's life and death.

01:29:06.960 You got to have it.

01:29:08.180 Oh my gosh.

01:29:09.160 You rich people who are so out of touch.

01:29:12.280 That birth control is $4 a month.

01:29:15.960 Now they're saying $1,000 bonus means nothing.

01:29:19.580 Nothing.

01:29:19.960 Hang on just a second.

01:29:20.780 How much were we supposed to save on Obamacare?

01:29:26.480 Oh yeah.

01:29:26.780 That was, that was $2,500.

01:29:28.640 $2,500.

01:29:29.860 So it's, it's more than double Stu.

01:29:32.080 It's more than double this.

01:29:34.340 How much did we, the average person actually save on Obamacare?

01:29:38.380 A negative $5,000.

01:29:40.940 Negative $5,000.

01:29:42.520 But you know, you'll never notice that.

01:29:44.820 No.

01:29:45.040 You'll never notice that.

01:29:47.280 For $1,000, that's, that's, that's an average person's vacation.

01:29:52.600 It's a big deal.

01:29:54.000 It's a huge deal.

01:29:55.040 And you know, and there was also raises in those, some of those announcements.

01:30:00.220 As you said, big investments, which is probably the best part of it, in which you're hiring new people and you're building new, new home, a new home base in America, investing your dollars here.

01:30:12.460 That's a big deal.

01:30:13.260 May I ask the Democrats a question?

01:30:15.800 If $1,000 is meaningless to people, why do you hate the planet so much?

01:30:24.260 Because you're only thinking of imposing a meaningless $1,000 fine on people who offer unsolicited straws.

01:30:33.460 Straws.

01:30:39.220 I don't know about you, now all I want to do is see the maximum amount of straws I can use in a day to drink my multiple diet sodas.

01:30:51.640 I am, I'm, I'm with you.

01:30:53.700 I think maybe on Monday we should, we should see the maximum amount of straws we can use during the show just to piss California off. 1.00

01:31:01.680 I don't know how you live in California.

01:31:03.940 We have so many listeners and viewers in California.

01:31:06.580 I don't know how you do it.

01:31:07.800 God bless you.

01:31:08.940 I mean, somebody has to do it.

01:31:10.260 Just glad it isn't me.

01:31:11.380 You know, it's like somebody had to live in the Eastern block.

01:31:14.880 Just glad it's not me.

01:31:17.200 All right.

01:31:17.800 We come back.

01:31:18.580 There's, there's more on how meaningless these taxes are.

01:31:21.660 Nancy Pelosi has chimed in.

01:31:23.440 We'll get to that in a second.

01:31:24.580 First, it was a trickle dock down economics isn't going to work.

01:31:28.000 These companies are never going to do anything.

01:31:29.640 They're not going to give you the money once they do.

01:31:33.220 That's nothing.

01:31:34.860 That money means nothing.

01:31:37.960 At the same time saying we have to have that money.

01:31:41.500 That tax, those tax dollars have to come to the state of California.

01:31:45.280 Simply safe home security that is, is on the cutting edge.

01:31:51.200 They have transformed from a company when I first started working with them of 10 people

01:31:56.420 to the fastest growing home security company in the nation, protecting over 2 million homes.

01:32:02.420 Now, 2 million homes.

01:32:04.480 The reason why they're so great is they don't have any kind of contract.

01:32:08.780 So you are, you own the system.

01:32:27.860 It's remarkable.

01:32:29.520 Of course, I mean, not if you're crapping $100,000 bills, you know, and $1,000 doesn't really mean anything to you.

01:32:37.940 You're going to save hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the first year.

01:32:42.060 In the first few months, you save a buttload of money.

01:33:19.100 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:33:27.980 Glenn Beck.

01:33:31.600 So let's go to Nancy Pelosi on how meaningless trickle-down economics really is when your company gives you a bonus of $1,000 or a raise.

01:33:43.260 Here's Nancy Pelosi.

01:33:44.220 To really grow the economy in a way where everyone benefits.

01:33:47.020 Deeper voice, I thought.

01:33:47.860 If I may add to that, then thank you so much.

01:33:50.900 Here's the thing.

01:33:51.920 There's a cartoon that I just love.

01:33:54.140 Should have brought.

01:33:55.040 There's a little class, a little mouse, a mousetrap.

01:33:59.000 It's got a little piece of cheese on there.

01:34:01.940 And there's a mouse about to take it.

01:34:04.820 And that's called the middle class. 0.77

01:34:06.720 You use a little crumb.

01:34:08.000 And around it, it's fat cats.

01:34:10.480 They don't go on like elephants, but anyway.

01:34:14.040 Around there.

01:34:14.760 And that's the thing.

01:34:15.920 You get this little thing and we get this big bonanza.

01:34:18.820 You get the crumb.

01:34:19.700 We get the banquet.

01:34:20.460 So you get the, so there's fat cats surrounding this little mousetrap and they've just put a little crumb, but they're going to eat you.

01:34:29.000 They get the bonanza.

01:34:30.760 Is that the way you view a $1,000 bonus?

01:34:36.260 If you were to get $1,000 right now, what does that mean to you?

01:34:40.380 Is it meaningless?

01:34:41.440 Is it a crumb?

01:34:42.360 Can I tell you something?

01:34:43.080 Is it nothing?

01:34:43.540 Is it, you know, too small to make a difference for anyone, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz said?

01:34:49.840 Can I tell you something?

01:34:50.460 I have a truck here that I drive every day and it is really bouncy because I don't put stuff in the back.

01:34:58.680 You know, I drive it to and from work most of the time.

01:35:01.700 Because you're a poser, right?

01:35:02.680 Yeah, I'm a poser.

01:35:03.540 Yeah.

01:35:03.840 You have a truck, but you don't use it like a truck.

01:35:06.200 You're in Texas.

01:35:07.080 So anyway, it's really.

01:35:08.300 You're posing as if you're a Texan when you're not is basically what you're saying.

01:35:12.180 I didn't say I was a Texan.

01:35:13.320 You're in Texas.

01:35:13.520 You have to have one.

01:35:14.500 People have to view you as if you would have a truck, though you don't use it as a truck.

01:35:19.400 So therefore, you're posing as someone who actually needs a truck.

01:35:23.440 And that was all just admitted to by you.

01:35:28.080 I like trucks.

01:35:30.200 I have a farm where I use trucks, just not this one here.

01:35:36.500 This one, when it's, you know, a few years old, will go to the farm and just get, you know, destroyed.

01:35:43.320 So I have a truck.

01:35:45.540 Can I move on?

01:35:46.780 All right.

01:35:47.880 So it's really the suspension on it is a truck.

01:35:52.380 It's not built to be a luxury car.

01:35:54.320 Correct.

01:35:54.720 So for $2,000, they said you can, you know, most people here, they just have the suspension changed, you know, and that way it rides, you know, a little softer.

01:36:05.160 I turned down the suspension because it's $2,000 to make my ride a little smoother.

01:36:12.280 I can handle it.

01:36:14.620 $2,000.

01:36:16.220 That's a lot of money.

01:36:16.840 That's a lot of money.

01:36:18.060 For really anybody.

01:36:18.920 I mean, you know, you can go on a great, you know, you can go on a vacation.

01:36:22.760 You can, you can, I mean, we were just talking about the washing machines.

01:36:26.720 I think it was last hour.

01:36:27.720 I mean, you know, that's a washing machine, right?

01:36:30.120 It's a big deal.

01:36:31.500 $1,000 is a lot of money.

01:36:33.640 A really big deal.

01:36:34.420 Yeah.

01:36:34.600 It's a Christmas.

01:36:35.620 At least, you know, for your kids.

01:36:36.720 If you have a bunch of kids, it's the whole Christmas.

01:36:39.760 It's a big deal.

01:36:41.380 Not to Democrats.

01:36:42.500 No, certainly not.

01:36:42.960 They think it's a crumb.

01:36:44.500 They think it's a scam.

01:36:46.420 And especially after the government takes taxes out of that bonus.

01:36:50.140 That's their freaking quote.

01:36:55.060 Glenn Beck.

01:36:57.000 Mercury.

01:36:57.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:04.500 All right.

01:37:05.660 I'm going to venture into very dangerous territory.

01:37:08.700 Uh-oh.

01:37:09.540 I'm going to, I'm going to mention the word sports and football.

01:37:15.820 Okay.

01:37:16.260 You probably shouldn't.

01:37:17.160 I know.

01:37:17.740 I probably shouldn't.

01:37:18.460 Yeah.

01:37:18.680 The XFL.

01:37:20.780 They're talking about bringing the XFL back.

01:37:23.960 I am not, clearly not a sports fan.

01:37:27.560 Know nothing about it.

01:37:28.720 However, in following what the NFL has been doing and their new announcement of, you know,

01:37:35.560 social justice Sundays where they're going to start preaching social justice.

01:37:40.800 If they do that, if they continue down this road and, you know, if it's a social justice

01:37:45.900 and it's a thing that the players do on their own and whatever, and, you know, they're not

01:37:51.060 preaching it, that's fine.

01:37:52.340 But if they start to become preachy, Ike, it will be time, not now, but probably in a

01:37:59.640 couple of years, it will be time to challenge the NFL.

01:38:03.380 And the launch target is 2020.

01:38:05.420 So it'd be a couple of years down the road.

01:38:06.480 It's, it's, there is, it's, it, it seems to me, everybody I know scoffs at the XFL.

01:38:11.660 Yeah.

01:38:11.800 Cause they were such a miserable failure in the eighties.

01:38:15.140 Just, but awful.

01:38:16.620 But look at the health of the NFL at the time.

01:38:19.160 They didn't have, they didn't have any real weakness.

01:38:22.340 Now, you know, I, I always thought football is so American.

01:38:26.260 It's so uniting and it's so great.

01:38:28.620 You, you now, because of the decisions the NFL has made, they're just becoming this political

01:38:36.360 crap.

01:38:37.920 Just play football, just be a game.

01:38:41.460 And if they continue down this road, they may stop, but if they continue down this road,

01:38:46.900 2020 might be a good time to slowly get back in and say, you know what?

01:38:50.300 We are America's pastime and we're America's sport.

01:38:53.700 McMahon is making a big deal out of the fact that there would be no kneeling.

01:38:56.940 There's none of that nonsense.

01:38:58.360 They're not doing the social justice thing in this league.

01:39:00.640 You know what?

01:39:01.260 If he goes as far as saying, we're not doing any politics, we're not going to do, you know,

01:39:06.480 we're not going to be the WWE and we're also not going to do any politics.

01:39:10.820 We're just going to be great football.

01:39:13.740 Yeah.

01:39:14.060 It's interesting.

01:39:14.620 Cause he kind of said that.

01:39:15.500 He said, basically, if you want to make a political statement, you just make it on your own

01:39:18.420 time.

01:39:18.720 We're not stopping people from free speech.

01:39:20.840 We're just not doing it during our league.

01:39:22.380 And that's totally what we all believe the NFL should have done.

01:39:25.320 I mean, it would be fine with me, you know, so he, but I mean, if you remember the XFL's

01:39:29.760 initial push years ago, it had a lot of money behind it.

01:39:33.380 It had an NBC television contract.

01:39:35.400 It was a real attempt that just failed in time.

01:39:39.280 This to me, I disagree with that analysis because I mean, it was a time where people

01:39:42.980 are really hungry for football.

01:39:44.060 It was coming in and it was happening in off season where there is no football.

01:39:47.760 I mean, it wasn't going to compete with the NFL and take it down, but was there a position

01:39:51.780 for it at that time?

01:39:52.940 If they did it right, maybe.

01:39:54.480 Well, do you remember that the reason they say a lot of people blame the failure of the

01:40:01.140 XFL is Donald Trump because he insisted on moving the season directly against the NFL.

01:40:08.480 We're talking, well, that was USFL.

01:40:10.320 Oh, that was USFL.

01:40:11.420 That's right.

01:40:11.960 Yeah, that's right.

01:40:12.380 The USFL.

01:40:13.100 Why do you hate Donald Trump so much?

01:40:14.480 There is an interesting conspiracy theory that I'm surprised the media has not tapped

01:40:20.120 into a little bit more, which is interesting in that Trump, really one of his first business

01:40:26.240 failures was his USFL team and his attempt to change the season of the USFL.

01:40:31.620 And since then, he's pretty much hated the NFL.

01:40:33.820 It's been one of those things that has eaten at him for a long time.

01:40:36.400 Multiple biographers talk about this and look, it's not a bad thing about the president.

01:40:39.760 He doesn't like, I mean, he likes sports, but he hates the fact that he lost that battle.

01:40:44.520 They won the lawsuit.

01:40:45.440 The league won $1 and they had to fold the next day.

01:40:48.700 So it was one of his first failures since he was, now he's president.

01:40:52.440 He's got the bully pulpit.

01:40:53.200 He talks about the NFL.

01:40:54.120 He bashes it all the time.

01:40:55.120 He says that it's over.

01:40:56.200 Now, one of his political allies is launching a team or a league to go against the NFL.

01:41:03.800 This is, you know what this is?

01:41:05.200 We never went to the moon.

01:41:08.600 I disagree.

01:41:09.780 I mean, I think more than that, more than a big time conspiracy, I think it's real that

01:41:15.620 from since the time of the USFL, Trump has been annoyed at the NFL and he loves the fact

01:41:20.600 that he can-

01:41:21.340 Separate and let's just take these one at a time.

01:41:23.480 Yeah.

01:41:23.920 Yes.

01:41:24.420 Yes, right.

01:41:24.840 I believe it.

01:41:25.300 And I think he likes that fight.

01:41:28.820 He likes the fact that good politics for him includes taking down the NFL.

01:41:33.880 Separate and apart from your theory, I agree.

01:41:36.940 Vince McMahon, a political ally of Donald Trump, believes, I think, the same way that

01:41:44.260 Trump does, that the NFL is annoying and what they're doing with social justice type

01:41:49.280 issues is irritating.

01:41:50.840 Separate and apart from your theory, I agree.

01:41:53.820 And he sees it as a real business opportunity.

01:41:56.580 Separate and apart, I agree.

01:41:58.080 I don't think he sees it as a real business opportunity right now, but I think you're

01:42:01.500 right in that he says, we'll say we're launching this in 2020.

01:42:04.640 Let's see what happens.

01:42:05.360 We'll take infrastructure steps, basic steps without investing a lot of money.

01:42:08.740 And if this thing really does start collapsing in the next couple of years-

01:42:11.380 We'll be there.

01:42:11.660 We'll be there to try to take a big piece of that pie. 0.90

01:42:14.400 So I think this is a good capitalist capitalizing on what might be coming in the future.

01:42:22.040 And there's no, there's no, you know, the conspiracy theory, just to say that, that

01:42:26.740 includes then, all right, Jim, here's what's going to happen.

01:42:31.140 I'm going to be elected president.

01:42:32.520 I'm going to get this.

01:42:33.320 No, I don't think it's that kind of conspiracy theory.

01:42:35.780 I don't think it's actually a, I think it's, is it possible though?

01:42:39.540 Do you give me this?

01:42:40.400 Is it possible?

01:42:41.660 Right?

01:42:42.520 Now, Linda McMahon, is she actually, did she get a gig as a ambassador or whatever? 0.76

01:42:46.680 She was talked about.

01:42:47.540 I don't remember what she actually wound up getting, but you know, this family is very tight

01:42:51.280 with Trump and that's well known.

01:42:53.260 Is it possible they're hanging around, having a dinner and saying, and Trump is saying,

01:42:57.280 you know what?

01:42:57.560 You should start the XFL up again.

01:42:59.300 You know what?

01:42:59.740 Oh yeah.

01:43:00.380 You know what?

01:43:00.960 I'm sick of these guys kneeling.

01:43:02.240 We both agree on this.

01:43:03.140 You should start that thing up again.

01:43:04.260 We'll get lots of attention for it.

01:43:05.460 And there's nothing wrong with that.

01:43:06.040 Would you be surprised at all in the next few months when something happens that Trump tweets

01:43:09.720 about, I can't wait for the XFL to start?

01:43:11.860 No.

01:43:12.220 Would you be at all surprised?

01:43:13.300 No.

01:43:13.780 And none of this is bad, by the way.

01:43:15.080 Yeah.

01:43:15.260 None of it is bad, illegal, shady, anything.

01:43:17.300 Not at all.

01:43:17.760 It's just an interesting observation about him.

01:43:20.080 And, you know, I think that there is a legitimate chunk of the public that thinks the, you know,

01:43:25.780 there's something there, but there's not something there unless a lot more happens.

01:43:31.700 I mean, remember like the top 20 shows on television this year where the NFL is totally

01:43:37.440 failing are going to be NFL programs.

01:43:40.100 I mean, it's like, it is still so dominates the landscape of the United States of America

01:43:45.860 and its media and the amount of money that flows through this.

01:43:48.620 I think their revenues were down 2%.

01:43:50.840 I mean, this is not a, it's, their ratings were down less than the rest of network television

01:43:57.260 in this time period.

01:43:58.220 Can I, it's not, at least let's not talk about it too much as a disaster.

01:44:01.340 Can I, can I change the subject?

01:44:03.800 Why does America hate the Patriots so much, Pat?

01:44:08.120 That, that bothers me.

01:44:09.420 I'm starting to wonder, when did we, was, is this a factor of Barack Obama when you just

01:44:16.100 don't like people who succeed all the time?

01:44:18.800 We, when do we start hating winners like that?

01:44:22.520 Oh, when they cheat.

01:44:23.300 That's, that's the time we started hating.

01:44:25.380 We haven't cheated this year that we know of.

01:44:27.440 Right.

01:44:28.340 It's true.

01:44:29.200 All year.

01:44:29.880 I think I, personally, this is nothing new that America, you know, you say, when do they 0.74

01:44:35.860 hate winners?

01:44:36.960 We have always loved the underdog story.

01:44:40.240 Yes.

01:44:40.720 And then we love them when they win, but then when they start to dominate your, then you

01:44:45.900 start to root for the underdog again.

01:44:47.900 So it's not that you hate the, the winner, you, you much rather the underdog, that scrappy

01:44:55.260 guy who goes in and gets it.

01:44:57.140 That is the American story.

01:44:58.760 I think in the case of the Patriots, they, they do hate the successful team and person.

01:45:04.980 They seem to have, there seems to be a real animus toward Tom Brady.

01:45:08.240 What's the difference between that?

01:45:09.120 Because they're tired of seeing him only.

01:45:10.200 Yeah.

01:45:10.340 What's the difference between that and the Yankees?

01:45:12.600 How many people do you know that they hate the Yankees because the Yankees, they go out

01:45:16.720 and, I'm sorry guys for being so far out on a limb here.

01:45:19.060 No, you're doing pretty good so far.

01:45:19.940 But they hate the Yankees because the Yankees keep winning, they keep winning and taking that

01:45:24.900 money and piling it in.

01:45:26.360 Fortunately, the Yankees haven't had that problem in a while.

01:45:28.760 Yeah.

01:45:29.160 Well, I guess it's Stanton in this off season and again, an unlimited amount of money, but

01:45:33.500 yeah, you're right.

01:45:34.020 I mean, they're known as the big, bad, right?

01:45:37.260 Big, bad machine that is just crushing everybody because they have the money because they keep

01:45:41.700 winning.

01:45:42.160 And that's part of my reason for not liking the Patriots.

01:45:44.320 Honestly, like you, you want a different storyline.

01:45:46.760 You don't want the team to the same team to win over and over and over again.

01:45:50.620 Talk to Tanya and her family.

01:45:54.220 She would disagree with you.

01:45:56.200 I mean, I want the Eagles to win every year, but I would understand that people would hate

01:46:00.400 the Eagles if they did win every year, which by the way, they haven't.

01:46:03.920 I would like to point that out.

01:46:05.400 Hopefully that changes in just a week.

01:46:06.700 I mean, a lot of people are putting them in an underdog situation at this time.

01:46:12.560 They're really not.

01:46:13.880 They're just more pathetic than an underdog.

01:46:18.400 Don't you think, Pat?

01:46:19.140 Yes, definitely.

01:46:20.100 I hate you.

01:46:21.540 If you look at that team, though, you've got the Brady thing is a situation where you just

01:46:30.020 hate this guy.

01:46:30.660 Here's this guy who's won, you know, five Super Bowls, Supermodel, the best quarterback

01:46:35.440 of all time.

01:46:36.640 Yep.

01:46:36.900 Right.

01:46:37.180 The greatest quarterback of all time.

01:46:38.380 And he's married to a supermodel, you know, plus heading into his eight Super Bowl.

01:46:45.060 He's been in the Super Bowl for half of the years.

01:46:48.320 He's been in the league.

01:46:49.980 It's astounding.

01:46:51.340 It's astounding.

01:46:52.880 I want him to win it again because of that.

01:46:55.740 We're seeing greatness on a level that we've almost never seen.

01:46:59.620 I have to tell you, the thing that, and I apologize to the audience for inflicting

01:47:06.380 all of this on you from me, but I love his story until the cheating.

01:47:13.300 Yep.

01:47:13.660 Yes.

01:47:14.200 And then you're like, okay, dude, come on.

01:47:16.820 You've got everything.

01:47:17.740 And Belichick as well is the same thing.

01:47:20.340 And again, like you look at like, did America hate Michael Jordan?

01:47:24.200 No.

01:47:25.200 Do, I mean, people, Jordan has always been that guy.

01:47:28.340 He was great, you know, as great as Tom Brady in a different sport.

01:47:32.000 And people didn't feel that way about him.

01:47:34.440 People didn't feel that way about, you know, people feel differently about LeBron James and

01:47:39.060 Michael Jordan.

01:47:39.900 Why?

01:47:40.640 Well, you know, people have personalities and they do things.

01:47:43.260 There's some irrational hatred for LeBron, too.

01:47:45.420 It's not irrational, but yes, it does exist.

01:47:47.580 And it exists right there in the person of Stubergeer.

01:47:53.140 This is part of what you like about sports, though.

01:47:55.560 You know, the fact that you don't want a team to win many times as an Eagles fan, because

01:48:00.500 they're not in this game, you have to find some reason to be interested in it.

01:48:04.780 And disliking a team is just as interesting at times as liking a team.

01:48:09.620 I mean, I don't know if you guys know this.

01:48:11.040 The problem with politics is we've turned it into team sports.

01:48:15.840 Right.

01:48:16.260 And it's okay in team sports.

01:48:18.180 It's not okay in politics.

01:48:20.380 Correct.

01:48:20.520 It's not.

01:48:21.320 Can I give you one more little sports tidbit while we're here?

01:48:24.280 A very interesting maneuver in the media today in the world of sports.

01:48:29.500 If you remember our friend Ed Schultz, do you remember this guy?

01:48:32.860 Oh, yeah.

01:48:34.120 Rotund sort of, you know, guy.

01:48:36.860 Let's not push on people who might be a little Rubenesque.

01:48:42.520 I wasn't talking.

01:48:43.860 I wasn't making a Glenn Beck reference here.

01:48:45.940 I was just saying.

01:48:46.460 I didn't say it coming, though.

01:48:47.520 My gosh, that was hurt.

01:48:48.560 That was hurtful.

01:48:49.460 I didn't even think of me.

01:48:51.360 Did you just think Rotund was your nickname?

01:48:53.280 That's a word.

01:48:54.580 So, you know.

01:48:56.060 So, the Rotund Ed Schultz was at one time promoted to weekends.

01:49:02.580 He was a full-time, prime-time host.

01:49:05.720 And then he went through a promotion.

01:49:06.820 He was very excited about his weekend thing.

01:49:08.300 Yeah, he's like, I'm very excited.

01:49:09.420 This is a big deal, a big promotion.

01:49:11.760 And they threw him on weekends.

01:49:14.080 And we made fun of him for years about him bragging about his promotion to weekends.

01:49:18.280 Right.

01:49:18.740 Has he been promoted again?

01:49:20.160 No, this is not Ed Schultz related, but I wanted to set the table here.

01:49:23.040 All right, okay.

01:49:23.600 Jemele Hill, the SportsCenter anchor who was very outspoken about how much of a racist Donald Trump was.

01:49:31.800 ESPN has just promoted her to their website.

01:49:35.620 No longer will she be hosting.

01:49:38.160 Congratulations, Jemele.

01:49:39.780 She will not be hosting SportsCenter anymore.

01:49:42.260 She won't be on anymore.

01:49:43.100 Really?

01:49:43.200 She will now be.

01:49:43.920 Can I tell you something?

01:49:44.560 As a non-sports fan, SportsCenter, never heard of it.

01:49:49.940 Oh, no, not a big deal at all.

01:49:52.360 When I've heard of a show called SportsCenter.

01:49:55.980 And to go even further, it wasn't just SportsCenter.

01:49:59.060 Because SportsCenter used to be a thing where you show highlights and then that's it, right?

01:50:04.160 This is the SportsCenter program they built around her and one other guy. 0.93

01:50:09.180 Yeah.

01:50:09.580 A personality-based SportsCenter.

01:50:11.320 So now she's going to have the time to build all of that herself.

01:50:15.840 Right.

01:50:16.640 She'll have tons of free time.

01:50:18.380 Tons of free time.

01:50:19.160 So she's psyched about this promotion.

01:50:21.760 Huge promotion.

01:50:22.700 In fact, they were saying her choice.

01:50:25.560 What she wanted to do the whole time was leave ESPN SportsCenter based around her personality

01:50:32.120 and go right on the webble.

01:50:34.060 That's all.

01:50:34.740 All right.

01:50:44.620 Let me tell you about LifeLock.

01:50:49.180 Just a, what a, is it still January?

01:50:52.800 Why did last year go by so fast in January?

01:50:55.340 Is just, is it still January?

01:50:58.420 Um, last year, um, right around Christmas time, two researchers, um, you know, two guys

01:51:06.500 who were just like, hey, you know what, let's see if we can hack into, can we, can we find

01:51:10.240 backdoors into, uh, into computers and to, into chips?

01:51:14.960 Well, they found out that almost every chip used in nearly every PC server, smartphone and

01:51:21.500 tablet, um, in the last 10 days, if it was, if it says Intel, you can get inside.

01:51:26.900 And this was stunning.

01:51:30.720 Now they've put some patches up, but it's until that chip is replaced, you, your phone,

01:51:38.820 your computer, your memory, all that memory storage is at risk.

01:52:57.540 What do I mean?

01:52:58.000 What else?

01:52:58.600 What else?

01:52:59.320 What else is out?

01:53:00.620 I want to see I, Tanya.

01:53:01.920 I really want to see that because it just looks really well done.

01:53:05.880 I mean, I love those stories.

01:53:07.480 She's just so dark. 0.78

01:53:08.980 You know, it really is.

01:53:10.620 I don't, I'm not.

01:53:11.340 Have you seen the interviews with her?

01:53:13.300 With actual Tanya Harding or Margot Robbie?

01:53:15.200 No.

01:53:15.840 Tanya Harding.

01:53:16.660 No, I haven't seen it.

01:53:17.280 You're not doing well.

01:53:18.120 No.

01:53:18.540 Yeah.

01:53:18.940 And she's insisting that we don't talk about the past and that incident.

01:53:23.120 What the hell?

01:53:24.180 That's your point.

01:53:24.660 That's all I want to talk to you about.

01:53:27.280 Oh.

01:53:28.560 So, what you been doing?

01:53:32.780 You've got nothing.

01:53:34.040 You've got nothing.

01:53:34.800 No one's interested in anything but that, Tanya.

01:53:37.620 Nothing.

01:53:39.100 Yeah.

01:53:39.640 That's pretty much our level of interest.

01:53:41.740 It ends right around there.

01:53:44.940 Have a safe weekend.
