The Glenn Beck Program - 1⧸4⧸18 - Who gets the kids with Trump and Bannon divorcing？

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

00:00:08.520 Love. Courage. Truth.

00:00:13.340 Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.220 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:19.020 888-727-BECK.

00:00:21.480 It's been a fascinating 24 hours or so since the Steve Bannon discussion began.

00:00:30.000 And the Steve Bannon versus Donald Trump battle began.

00:00:34.860 Lawyers on behalf of President Trump sent a letter yesterday or last night to former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon

00:00:43.640 demanding he refrain from making disparaging comments against the president and his family.

00:00:49.980 Can a president demand that people don't make disparaging comments against him?

00:00:55.400 Is that even a thing in the United States?

00:00:58.000 It is now.

00:00:58.680 I hope it's not.

00:01:00.000 Wait a minute.

00:01:00.740 You can't tell me not to say bad things about the president.

00:01:05.500 I have to do it within certain.

00:01:07.560 I can't threaten, obviously.

00:01:09.260 Right.

00:01:09.520 But you can say virtually anything you want other than that.

00:01:14.180 How do you send a cease and desist against saying mean things about the president?

00:01:20.960 You can't do that.

00:01:23.520 We'll see, won't we?

00:01:25.020 I guess we will.

00:01:26.040 We will see.

00:01:26.360 I guess we will.

00:01:27.200 Because you're right.

00:01:28.700 No question about it.

00:01:30.680 However, we'll see what happens.

00:01:32.880 We'll see.

00:01:33.280 Now, you know, obviously.

00:01:34.960 My guess is it's still America in that way.

00:01:38.540 There's no way that can stand.

00:01:39.820 There's no way.

00:01:40.800 No way that can stand.

00:01:41.380 You can stop Steve Bannon from saying things that Donald Trump and his family don't like.

00:01:47.480 Right.

00:01:48.360 And look, and he's already backed up a little bit anyway.

00:01:53.040 Last night, so it's where it seems like he wants the kids more than he wants Donald.

00:01:57.900 You know, he was bashing the kids more than he bashed Donald.

00:01:59.800 Yeah, he actually, on his, I guess it's his show.

00:02:04.060 Is it his show?

00:02:04.700 Well, it's Breitbart News on the Sirius.

00:02:07.300 So on Sirius XM, he was actually saying good things about the president.

00:02:11.900 So, you know.

00:02:14.280 He seems to, his, yes, you're right.

00:02:16.900 His target here is Donald Jr.

00:02:19.040 Right.

00:02:19.480 For whatever reason.

00:02:21.540 Hey, and good luck.

00:02:22.660 I mean, that's a fine line to walk with President Trump, you know, with dad.

00:02:27.680 You can't walk that line.

00:02:29.320 You can't.

00:02:30.440 You go after, I think going after his children is just like going after him.

00:02:34.560 And I don't blame him for that.

00:02:35.480 I'd be the same way.

00:02:37.620 So, he, Donald Trump has obviously not taken kindly to this Steve Bannon news.

00:02:45.220 Oh, no.

00:02:45.760 So, to him speaking to Michael Wolfe in this new book, it'll be interesting when this thing

00:02:54.180 actually comes out.

00:02:54.860 Is it Tuesday?

00:02:55.740 The next Tuesday?

00:02:56.920 I don't know.

00:02:58.860 That's usually when they come out.

00:03:00.420 You bring someone into your house.

00:03:03.040 And then, you know, not long after that, they turn around and they start throwing knives

00:03:06.940 at you.

00:03:07.440 You know, I mean, he's got a little, he's got a little point to be pissed.

00:03:10.600 Yeah.

00:03:11.100 It would be upsetting.

00:03:12.720 Yeah.

00:03:13.440 It would be upsetting.

00:03:14.140 But Trump has always kind of dismissed Bannon ever since he left, ever since he was out

00:03:22.100 of the picture, out of the administration, away from the campaign.

00:03:26.240 Trump's always kind of said, yeah, he came in afterwards.

00:03:29.280 He really, he had nothing to do with my winning.

00:03:32.680 I'd already won.

00:03:33.900 And he had very little say about anything.

00:03:37.020 It's a different story when you listen to Steve Bannon.

00:03:40.280 Yes, it is.

00:03:41.000 And so there's been an interesting, yesterday on my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, which immediately

00:03:48.840 follows this on the Blaze Radio and TV network.

00:03:51.220 I was saying that I expected a lot of tweets from the president about Steve Bannon last

00:03:55.760 night.

00:03:56.260 We gave the over under at five and I said it'd be over.

00:03:59.400 It'd be over.

00:04:00.240 It'd be over five tweets.

00:04:01.840 He hasn't tweeted at all.

00:04:03.140 No.

00:04:04.060 Don Jr.

00:04:04.840 has.

00:04:05.360 And I think his count is five or six.

00:04:07.940 Yeah.

00:04:08.200 I mean, Don is like, look, he's squandered the privilege of working with the White House

00:04:13.200 and serving the country, turned it into a backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying, undermining

00:04:18.660 the president.

00:04:19.480 He's not a strategist.

00:04:20.940 He's an opportunist.

00:04:22.080 That seems to be their thing.

00:04:25.200 Yes, it is.

00:04:25.700 That he's not a strategist.

00:04:27.220 He's an opportunist.

00:04:28.620 And he didn't help them at all.

00:04:30.100 He was just looking for an opportunity for power.

00:04:33.080 And that would bode well with President Trump saying, you know, he came in after.

00:04:36.740 Yes.

00:04:37.040 I'd already won.

00:04:37.860 It fits.

00:04:38.520 Yes, it does.

00:04:39.220 It fits.

00:04:39.740 Yes, it does.

00:04:40.120 That narrative.

00:04:41.500 And fits it well.

00:04:42.560 Now, there was a there's an interview from one of Donald Trump's advisers, Sam Nunberg,

00:04:52.420 who is a former Trump adviser.

00:04:54.440 And he was on with S.E.

00:04:56.260 Cup.

00:04:57.020 And he had some interesting things to say about this upcoming book from Wolf in that I think

00:05:04.040 he mainly admits it's it's mostly true.

00:05:07.200 You're quoted a number of times.

00:05:08.520 And at one point, Wolf says Trump told you that he can be, quote, the most famous man

00:05:13.320 in the world.

00:05:14.200 The quote reads, as the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was saying when his ultimate

00:05:18.260 goal, after all, had never been to win, I can now be the most famous man in the world.

00:05:24.640 He apparently told you.

00:05:26.060 Is that true?

00:05:26.880 Did he tell you he didn't plan to win?

00:05:29.380 No, it's not.

00:05:29.940 Well, what I was telling Michael was a story that in 2014, I was flying down with then Mr.

00:05:35.300 Trump to New Orleans for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

00:05:38.520 And we were discussing his run.

00:05:40.180 And he had already told me he was planning on running.

00:05:42.560 And what I said to him was 100 years from now, nobody's going to remember if you don't

00:05:46.820 win the primary or the presidency who ran.

00:05:49.520 Frankly, nobody was going to remember who was the president.

00:05:51.940 But I'll tell you what, 100 years from now, when they're covering you, they're not going

00:05:55.860 to be able to write that you didn't run.

00:05:58.140 They're not going to be able to say you were a perennial tease.

00:06:00.520 And the one thing I can guarantee you is that you were going to come out well out of this.

00:06:04.400 I can't guarantee you you'll win the nomination.

00:06:06.500 That's very hard to do.

00:06:07.580 So did he say, I'm going to be I'm going to be famous and I don't even need to win any

00:06:11.240 was any of that true?

00:06:13.240 What he did say, what the president did say was, I won't come out badly out of this.

00:06:18.640 I won't come out badly.

00:06:19.660 He kept repeating that to me.

00:06:20.840 And no matter what, we're going to have fun.

00:06:22.560 What I find with Michael and with the quotes and I sat with Michael at least three times

00:06:27.600 from my recollection is Michael takes the quotes and he puts them as direct quotes.

00:06:33.180 But they're really paraphrasing what I said and how I explained it.

00:06:37.380 With that said, I'm not criticizing Michael at all.

00:06:39.760 Oh, OK.

00:06:40.160 Well, another excerpt is kind of wants to have it both ways, doesn't he?

00:06:43.240 When you were trying to explain the Constitution to then candidate Trump, Wolf writes, quote,

00:06:48.420 early in the campaign, Sam number was sent to explain the Constitution to the candidate.

00:06:52.420 Quote, I got as far as the Fourth Amendment.

00:06:53.840 Nunberg recalled before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back

00:06:58.120 in his head.

00:06:58.700 Did that happen?

00:07:00.320 Well, not exactly.

00:07:01.840 What happened was that it was a it was a week and a half before the before the first debate.

00:07:06.240 And what I was worried about was that somebody would attack the would attack then Mr. Trump

00:07:10.780 and ask him some gotcha question.

00:07:12.720 What is your favorite case about the Supreme Court?

00:07:14.560 Who's your favorite justice?

00:07:15.960 Something like that.

00:07:16.720 Just to try to make him look as if he does.

00:07:18.740 He didn't know policy.

00:07:19.560 One thing Trump always told me and I was wrong about was that the campaign would be about

00:07:25.100 big issues, be about big communication, be about explaining simple, common sense solutions.

00:07:30.680 So when I brought this page and I made it like a crib sheet, maybe a page and a half.

00:07:34.800 Yeah, we got to around the Fourth or Fifth Amendment, to which he then just started saying,

00:07:39.740 look, I have to do work.

00:07:40.860 And at the time he was running for president and still running his organization.

00:07:44.840 So once again, Michael kind of takes it out of context.

00:07:47.540 But yes, something similar to that happened.

00:07:50.580 OK, so something similar.

00:07:53.160 Sort of what what he's saying here, it seems to me, is that the spirit of what is in the

00:07:58.060 book is true.

00:07:59.100 Yes.

00:07:59.520 Not necessarily the word for word quotes.

00:08:01.700 He seems to be saying.

00:08:02.900 OK, I'm trying to get it.

00:08:03.940 But she she continues to push up a little bit.

00:08:06.220 A little bit further.

00:08:07.060 You read the excerpts.

00:08:08.020 You were there on the whole.

00:08:09.980 How accurate a picture do you think they paint of of the Trump campaign?

00:08:16.100 Well, I think it was pretty accurate from what I understand towards the end.

00:08:19.200 Remember, I wasn't involved with the campaign at all after around September of 2015.

00:08:25.020 I don't think they expected to win.

00:08:26.840 So when they start with Kellyanne, you know, just going around and blaming Reince earlier

00:08:31.140 in the day, that certainly happened.

00:08:32.680 I mean, she did that on Twitter.

00:08:33.700 And I think that the president himself, one thing I had heard from numerous people, not

00:08:39.260 only Steve, but others within the campaign is, for instance, that story about Mnuchin

00:08:43.520 coming on the plane and having to get the wire transfer immediately when the when then

00:08:48.160 candidate Trump promised to give the 10 million.

00:08:50.140 That is 100 percent accurate.

00:08:51.720 I don't think he thought he was going to win until the end when he told a confidant of

00:08:57.280 his Roger Stone, he said, look, it's trending my way.

00:08:59.860 And it was those last four days, five days.

00:09:02.520 I think he saw something there.

00:09:04.340 And if you remember, he out campaigned her and he and he concentrated on certain states

00:09:08.600 and he pulled those states out states.

00:09:10.240 Oh, yeah, I was there.

00:09:10.820 I know how it happened.

00:09:11.600 I'm just wondering if you're if you're, you know, willing to say that this book is like

00:09:16.720 rate it true, half true, mostly true, some true.

00:09:20.560 I'd rate it half true on the specific examples.

00:09:24.360 OK, mostly true overall that I don't think like on the gist on the gist of it.

00:09:28.800 I'd say mostly true.

00:09:29.800 I do not think that the president thought he was going to win the campaign.

00:09:33.160 Interesting.

00:09:33.520 I mean, wow.

00:09:34.760 And that seems to be a kind of a common theme from people in and around the Trump camp was

00:09:40.020 that he never thought he was going to win.

00:09:42.160 And some have claimed he didn't even want to.

00:09:44.400 He was just in it for the ride.

00:09:46.080 Yeah.

00:09:47.580 Pretty interesting.

00:09:48.540 As far as specific quotes that are in this book, they're not entirely accurate.

00:09:58.660 But the gist of what he's saying, the spirit of of the message he says is is mostly true.

00:10:06.980 OK, it's going to be interesting to see when the book comes out and you get the full context

00:10:11.620 of what they're saying about it.

00:10:14.700 We'll see.

00:10:15.380 We'll see what happens.

00:10:16.900 Triple eight, seven to seven back.

00:10:19.400 Nate in Virginia.

00:10:21.300 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:10:23.760 Hey, good morning, guys.

00:10:24.960 Hey, straight to the point.

00:10:27.060 A band is going to get smushed like a bug.

00:10:30.020 This is just the beginning.

00:10:32.120 Let me tell you something.

00:10:33.500 He signed a piece of paper.

00:10:35.340 He did do that.

00:10:36.420 Yes.

00:10:36.820 When he first jumped on with Trump.

00:10:38.620 Yeah.

00:10:38.940 Basically saying that he was going to chill about talking about everything that's going on.

00:10:43.640 Yeah.

00:10:44.140 So legally, Trump does have one up on him already to start with.

00:10:49.520 Secondly, the Trumpists and all the Trumpers and all the wonderful, deplorable people out there,

00:10:55.020 they're not going to side with Bannon on this.

00:10:57.780 They didn't go out and vote to their local polls for Bannon.

00:11:02.500 Right.

00:11:02.980 We didn't really even know who Bannon was.

00:11:05.360 You guys warned us about Bannon like six, eight months ago.

00:11:08.880 Yeah.

00:11:09.820 When he was doing all his stuff.

00:11:11.320 I remember you guys sitting there, and I'm just listening to you guys like,

00:11:13.640 these guys hate Trump no matter what.

00:11:15.820 So if they say, no, you guys were right about Bannon.

00:11:18.700 Huh.

00:11:19.460 Huh.

00:11:20.100 Yeah.

00:11:20.400 Yeah.

00:11:21.340 Yeah.

00:11:22.360 Appreciate it.

00:11:23.120 And you're right, Nate.

00:11:24.080 Appreciate it.

00:11:24.700 He did.

00:11:25.580 Bannon did sign an agreement when he left that he wouldn't disclose, for instance, confidential

00:11:33.060 information.

00:11:34.380 That, I don't know that he's accused of even doing that.

00:11:39.240 Disparaging remarks about the president and the family.

00:11:43.780 I don't know that you can actually stop an American citizen from saying disparaging remarks

00:11:51.260 against the president.

00:11:52.560 I don't know that there's any paper you can sign that could actually prevent you from

00:11:57.740 exercising your free speech.

00:12:00.240 Oh.

00:12:00.340 If, if, if, and they're trying to get away, they're trying to talk, um, libel and slander

00:12:07.040 here.

00:12:07.820 Yeah.

00:12:07.940 And a defamation lawsuit is, is something else.

00:12:10.500 But you actually can't stop an American citizen from commenting on the president of the United

00:12:14.740 States.

00:12:15.100 I don't care what you sign.

00:12:16.940 888-727-BECK.

00:12:19.660 More of the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy coming up here.

00:12:24.880 Glenn Beck.

00:12:25.920 Glenn Beck.

00:12:36.480 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:12:37.680 888-727-BECK.

00:12:40.640 You know, you have to admire the certain je ne sais quoi of President Trump in responding

00:12:48.900 to criticism.

00:12:50.580 He just, he's got a way.

00:12:52.700 He does have a way.

00:12:53.900 He does have a way.

00:12:54.780 He's got a way of being so dismissive of anybody who, who crosses his path, uh, who

00:13:02.100 contradicts him, who criticizes him in any way.

00:13:05.660 Uh, they're all of a sudden meaningless.

00:13:08.700 I mean, they're worms.

00:13:10.460 Zero.

00:13:10.960 Yeah.

00:13:11.260 I mean, they were, it's been, they're barely, they barely held the door open for me.

00:13:15.860 Which begs the question.

00:13:17.020 Well, then why do you even need to respond?

00:13:19.100 Why do you even respond?

00:13:21.020 But he must.

00:13:21.820 He must.

00:13:22.440 He must.

00:13:22.780 He must.

00:13:23.460 That's his special je ne sais quoi.

00:13:25.840 He must.

00:13:26.100 Yes, he has to.

00:13:27.580 Uh, interestingly, he didn't do this in tweets.

00:13:29.840 Um, but he's, he's, uh, his statement was Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency.

00:13:37.320 When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.

00:13:41.780 So good.

00:13:42.400 Steve was a staffer who worked for me.

00:13:45.560 Staffer?

00:13:47.460 He's so, so minimizing his role.

00:13:51.740 He was a staffer, barely even knew his name.

00:13:56.200 I think he might've swept up around here after, uh, after hours when everybody else was gone.

00:14:02.800 I think I saw him once with a broom in his hand, but I don't even, I'm not even sure I would recognize him if I laid eyes on him today.

00:14:09.600 He was a staffer who worked for me after I'd already won the nomination.

00:14:16.120 He's got to make that point, too.

00:14:17.240 Yes, he does.

00:14:17.880 Big time.

00:14:18.340 And he's made it often.

00:14:19.500 Yes, he has.

00:14:20.240 By defeating 17 candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican.

00:14:25.580 That's not, that's not how he described his opponents when he was running against them.

00:14:29.700 But it is now.

00:14:31.440 He says, uh, now that he's on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look.

00:14:39.120 See?

00:14:39.760 It's so crazy.

00:14:40.680 He's the man.

00:14:41.340 He's got a panache, doesn't he?

00:14:42.520 Yes, he does.

00:14:43.420 Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country.

00:14:50.040 Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a set seat in Alabama held for more than 30 years by Republicans.

00:14:57.200 Steve doesn't represent my base.

00:14:59.920 He's only in it for himself.

00:15:02.140 That's the narrative, right?

00:15:03.180 I mean, that's Donald Jr.'s tweet of, you know, he's just an opportunist.

00:15:07.040 That's it.

00:15:07.380 He's not, he was, he's not just in it for the ride.

00:15:09.660 And that's their narrative.

00:15:11.340 And they'll bring him down for that.

00:15:12.860 I, I, Bannon's going to have a tough road to hoe to beat these guys.

00:15:15.320 I think so.

00:15:17.120 Yeah.

00:15:17.680 Well, he's not going to beat Trump at this.

00:15:19.240 No, he's not going to.

00:15:19.780 He's not going to beat Trump at this game.

00:15:21.020 He just isn't.

00:15:21.480 Nobody has beaten Trump at this game.

00:15:23.660 You know, you think back to that field of talented candidates.

00:15:26.440 Right.

00:15:26.740 And they were.

00:15:27.520 He's right about that.

00:15:28.320 Yes, they were.

00:15:29.680 All good politicians.

00:15:31.020 Some of them really strong conservatives.

00:15:32.640 And they all thought that they had a way to get around that and win.

00:15:36.420 Look what happened to Rubio.

00:15:37.520 Rubio was pretty much the only one who took Donald Trump on directly.

00:15:42.040 Rubio went right after him.

00:15:43.640 And Rubio was destroyed.

00:15:46.140 I know.

00:15:46.600 But because Trump has that way of just making you look like you're, you're meaningless.

00:15:53.500 You're a little, little Marco, little Marco dismisses you.

00:15:58.860 It's really fascinating.

00:16:01.480 It sure is.

00:16:02.400 There's going to be, I mean, history is going to look back on this time and this is going

00:16:06.780 to be an important time to show people.

00:16:08.880 And I don't, actually, I don't even know that anybody else will ever win with that strategy.

00:16:14.860 I don't think so.

00:16:15.500 This was a certain guy at a certain time in a certain place with a, with a certain attitude.

00:16:21.140 I mean, we're finding that out with some of the, with, you know, down the Senate races

00:16:24.780 and some of the congressional races where people have tried to be Trump-ish.

00:16:29.460 Roy Moore sort of tried that.

00:16:31.600 You're not, you're not Trump.

00:16:33.760 Trump.

00:16:34.220 Yeah.

00:16:35.000 And it seems maybe that only works for Donald Trump.

00:16:38.620 Maybe that's a one person thing.

00:16:39.920 I think it is.

00:16:40.500 A one in a seven billion occurrence.

00:16:43.660 And yeah, it's going to be interesting to see when we look back on this 20 or 30 years

00:16:49.640 from now and history writes about it, what they say about it, because it's fascinating and

00:16:53.560 it's so unique.

00:16:54.360 It sure is.

00:16:55.400 It's very unique.

00:16:56.060 And just ask Donald.

00:16:56.880 I mean, he's the one, the one and only, right?

00:16:59.160 I mean, he's it.

00:17:00.460 But no, look, and even Bannon is finding out that no one makes winning look easy.

00:17:06.500 Winning isn't as easy as I make it look.

00:17:08.640 Right.

00:17:10.340 For his part, Bannon, who maybe is backing off this whole thing a little bit.

00:17:15.440 Yeah.

00:17:15.800 Yeah.

00:17:16.100 You know, because he doesn't, again, you don't want to pick a fight with the president.

00:17:20.020 You don't want that.

00:17:21.020 He wins every time, virtually every time.

00:17:22.900 Uh, Bannon responded to, uh, president Trump's statement on, on the, uh, Sirius XM show.

00:17:31.440 He told a listener who called in the president, the president of the United States is a great

00:17:36.740 man.

00:17:37.660 You know, I support him day in and day out, whether going through the country, giving the

00:17:42.240 Trump miracle speech or on the show or on the website.

00:17:45.500 Right.

00:17:46.560 Fascinating.

00:17:47.040 Yeah.

00:17:47.440 After everything's been said and is being said about him.

00:17:50.580 That's quite a statement.

00:17:51.600 It is.

00:17:52.300 Uh, Carl in Texas.

00:17:53.480 It is.

00:17:53.760 Ah, you're on the, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:56.520 Yeah.

00:17:57.120 Uh, Pat, I, I'm not a Bannon supporter, but I do believe that Trump can't deny that the

00:18:03.120 way his campaign was being run, um, in the run up to him being elected wasn't, I mean,

00:18:09.280 he can't say it wasn't affected by Bannon being brought on board because I think that

00:18:12.540 was a turning point for his campaign.

00:18:14.800 Um, I think Bannon overall is just generally a patriot.

00:18:18.280 He's probably not too colorful or he's probably too colorful in, um, what his viewpoints are.

00:18:24.340 I don't agree with all of them.

00:18:25.520 Yeah.

00:18:25.720 But, uh, I believe Trump is actually showing himself, um, who I've always thought he was.

00:18:31.760 Uh, I'll be honest with you.

00:18:33.100 When my wife and I were definitely split on this, uh, running up to his election and it

00:18:38.520 troubles me to hear that he probably wasn't thinking he was really going to win because

00:18:42.220 that makes me think he wasn't seriously approaching being, possibly being the president of the United

00:18:47.440 States.

00:18:47.780 That's right.

00:18:48.200 Yeah.

00:18:48.380 That is it.

00:18:49.040 Yeah.

00:18:49.740 It's a concern.

00:18:51.480 Yes, sir.

00:18:52.040 When I left the polls, I, I told my wife and I said it publicly to the large crowd and

00:18:57.640 line that was outside our polling place in Texas.

00:19:00.780 I said, I feel so dirty.

00:19:03.100 And my, my statement was, I voted for Trump and she did too.

00:19:08.640 And she was proud of me, but I, I'm just, I just think there was a, yeah, about him that

00:19:14.820 I didn't like.

00:19:15.460 And I can't put my finger on it.

00:19:16.600 It was, uh, it was, it was tough and kind of still is in some ways.

00:19:20.840 More of the Glenn Beck program coming up.

00:19:26.460 Glenn Beck.

00:19:33.100 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program with Pat Gray and Jeffy.

00:19:37.200 And we've been kind of musing about, uh, what a fascinating situation this is with Donald

00:19:43.560 Trump and Steve Bannon.

00:19:44.620 And looking back at the 2016 race of the people that he rightly claims he destroyed, it was

00:19:52.140 a talented field and he won.

00:19:53.960 And Steve Bannon doesn't under, didn't understand that winning isn't as easy as he made it look.

00:20:00.600 And so, and he called them the most, uh, most talented field ever assembled.

00:20:05.860 And I kind of believe that I do believe that I do believe that there were some great candidates

00:20:10.000 and he beat them all.

00:20:11.300 And not only did he beat them, he annihilated.

00:20:14.020 I got to tell you, I don't think he might've tainted them to the point where they can't

00:20:19.180 even run again in 2020 for president.

00:20:21.300 I honestly believe that there's one, there's not one name, one person you go through the

00:20:25.560 list, name one person who you think could run in 2020 from that group.

00:20:29.480 We just mentioned this.

00:20:30.300 No, I don't think Jeff Bush can run again.

00:20:31.920 He's done.

00:20:32.620 Ben Carson.

00:20:33.480 I think he's done.

00:20:34.760 Chris Christie is certainly done.

00:20:36.320 And he, but it wasn't just this race.

00:20:38.540 No, but, but, but definitely this, I mean, it was the culmination of him.

00:20:42.560 Yeah.

00:20:42.820 Uh, Ted Cruz.

00:20:44.540 No way.

00:20:45.460 I think was thoroughly tainted.

00:20:47.200 No way.

00:20:47.520 He's, I mean, I look as far as presidentially speaking.

00:20:51.920 Yeah.

00:20:52.300 Yeah.

00:20:52.580 No, as far as a presidential candidate, I think he'll be fine.

00:20:55.240 He'd be great as Texas senator, great senator from the state of Texas.

00:20:58.720 I still support him a lot.

00:20:59.800 I just don't think he has a chance to win the presidency.

00:21:02.520 I'm talking about the presidency.

00:21:03.740 These guys should do exactly what they're doing now, but to run for president, my opinion,

00:21:10.060 can't do it.

00:21:10.680 Time and money waster.

00:21:11.780 Yeah, I think so too.

00:21:13.320 Jim Gilmore.

00:21:14.100 Now I know you've got a special place in your heart for him.

00:21:16.800 Wait a minute.

00:21:17.100 I forgot about Jim Gilmore.

00:21:18.980 He's done.

00:21:20.040 Lindsey Graham shouldn't have been in the, in the race in the first place.

00:21:22.700 He never had a chance, but he certainly doesn't now.

00:21:24.760 Mike Huckabee completely destroyed politically.

00:21:28.080 Trump completely destroyed him.

00:21:30.000 And then threw him a bone by hiring his daughter.

00:21:32.060 Yes.

00:21:32.380 I mean, that's what he does.

00:21:34.040 Yes.

00:21:34.640 I hired your daughter.

00:21:35.480 Shut up.

00:21:35.920 Bobby Jindal.

00:21:40.840 I don't know that I feel the same way about Jindal.

00:21:42.980 He could maybe run again.

00:21:44.740 Maybe.

00:21:46.060 Maybe.

00:21:46.580 Maybe.

00:21:46.660 Maybe he dropped out at the right time.

00:21:48.520 Didn't get involved in all of the back and forth.

00:21:50.940 Maybe Jindal's okay.

00:21:52.300 I don't know.

00:21:52.320 Maybe.

00:21:52.780 But I think Kasich is done.

00:21:54.440 Oh, have a nice day.

00:21:55.160 Pataki never had a chance.

00:21:56.660 I think Rand Paul is done as far as presidency.

00:21:58.900 Yes.

00:21:59.820 Yes.

00:22:01.840 Who else?

00:22:02.700 I'm still.

00:22:04.240 Marco Rubio.

00:22:05.780 See, I.

00:22:06.780 He may have been too tainted.

00:22:09.120 Trump did such a good job of destroying these guys.

00:22:11.900 He sure did.

00:22:13.220 That they all seem something.

00:22:14.380 Do they not seem kind of tainted as far as the presidential run is concerned?

00:22:18.880 You know, Rick Santorum, I thought, was tainted in the 2016 race.

00:22:21.920 Now, I'm not even sure.

00:22:22.940 I can't put my finger on what happened to Santorum because I was a big supporter in 2012.

00:22:27.040 But I wouldn't want him to run again.

00:22:29.580 No way.

00:22:30.060 I mean, look, he ran last time.

00:22:31.040 I didn't want him to run last time.

00:22:31.680 Right.

00:22:31.980 And he ran last time and ended up, you know, he was with Lindsey at the kids table.

00:22:35.560 Yes.

00:22:35.840 For the debates.

00:22:36.600 Right.

00:22:36.860 Which was fine.

00:22:37.800 Right.

00:22:37.960 I mean, those guys, look, those guys are all smart men and they're in positions that,

00:22:41.900 you know, that they definitely worked hard to get.

00:22:44.680 But after this campaign, this last campaign for president, Donald Trump.

00:22:51.040 It's tough.

00:22:51.620 There's a reason he won.

00:22:52.640 Yeah, there is.

00:22:53.140 I mean, he was scorched earth on those guys.

00:22:54.860 Yeah.

00:22:55.420 I think he burned down the whole field.

00:22:58.120 Maybe Scott Walker.

00:23:00.360 Ah, no way.

00:23:00.920 Maybe Walker.

00:23:01.760 I don't know.

00:23:02.080 I don't know.

00:23:02.180 He may have dropped out early enough to have not gotten the wrath of Trump.

00:23:07.380 I don't know.

00:23:08.940 Maybe.

00:23:09.480 You know, you say Jindal and Walker.

00:23:10.460 I don't have the chance.

00:23:11.740 I don't have the same feeling about Jindal and Walker as they do the rest of this field.

00:23:15.360 But I don't know that they are.

00:23:16.680 I don't know that they have enough panache to be present.

00:23:19.580 Maybe not.

00:23:20.540 Yeah.

00:23:20.700 Maybe.

00:23:20.900 I don't know.

00:23:21.380 We'll see.

00:23:22.420 We'll see.

00:23:23.500 You know, on the Democrat side, who's got a bright, bright future is Lincoln Chafee.

00:23:29.300 Because he proposed the metric system.

00:23:33.320 And America took to that like a duck to water.

00:23:37.260 Man, did we respond.

00:23:39.580 It wasn't.

00:23:40.660 It was downplayed by the media, who doesn't want us to adopt that system.

00:23:45.860 That's what I mean.

00:23:46.120 I don't think it was reported enough.

00:23:47.500 If we could get it out there, if he could get the word out there and explain it better.

00:23:51.900 He would have won in a landslide.

00:23:54.120 I agree.

00:23:54.380 No, but in reality, I think most of the GOP field is done and tainted for 2020.

00:24:00.780 And if President Trump weren't to run again, the only person I can really think has a really

00:24:06.800 good shot and has been untainted from any of this is Ben Sasse.

00:24:12.740 I think Ben Sasse would be a great alternative.

00:24:15.400 I don't think there's anyone else.

00:24:16.860 I don't know that there is anyone else.

00:24:18.940 I mean, maybe I give you Walker and Jindal.

00:24:22.060 Maybe Walker and Jindal.

00:24:23.200 Maybe.

00:24:23.560 But definitely Ben Sasse.

00:24:24.780 Yes.

00:24:24.940 Because he didn't run.

00:24:25.860 No, he got no scores from any of that.

00:24:27.440 Thank goodness for him, he didn't run.

00:24:30.080 So he may have a future.

00:24:32.340 And I don't know.

00:24:32.900 Maybe we're completely wrong.

00:24:34.000 But that's just my impression.

00:24:35.040 That's my feeling right now is that, yes, Donald Trump burned down the rest of the field.

00:24:40.280 America looks at the rest of most of them, barring a couple of people that we mentioned.

00:24:45.260 I think, at least through my eyes, looking at that campaign field up on stage.

00:24:50.480 I mean, I'm looking at all those guys in my head right now thinking, not one of them I would vote for.

00:24:56.360 Yeah.

00:24:56.500 President Trump, then candidate Trump, did such an effective job with these guys that I can't, I can't look at Marco Rubio anymore without thinking little Marco.

00:25:06.940 I know.

00:25:08.160 Isn't that amazing?

00:25:08.920 I know.

00:25:09.360 It's such a simple but degrading term.

00:25:13.160 I know.

00:25:13.640 And listen, it's difficult.

00:25:14.520 And it's stuck.

00:25:15.680 And it's difficult for me, for me alone, to see Ted Cruz, who is a senator who I voted for here in this great state of Texas.

00:25:24.640 Absolutely.

00:25:24.940 And I will vote for again.

00:25:25.860 Yes.

00:25:26.560 Without thinking.

00:25:27.720 He's got an election coming up.

00:25:28.920 I'll definitely be voting for him.

00:25:30.160 Here in Lion, Ted.

00:25:32.060 Yeah.

00:25:32.660 I mean, I just can't.

00:25:33.920 I know it's not true.

00:25:35.260 It's not true.

00:25:36.100 But it's there.

00:25:37.420 But it was effective stuff.

00:25:38.600 Get rid of it.

00:25:39.180 Yeah.

00:25:40.000 I mean, it's a strange and interesting phenomenon.

00:25:43.580 It sure is.

00:25:44.280 It really is.

00:25:45.620 It sure is.

00:25:46.180 There's something about him that.

00:25:49.820 I mean, that's his right.

00:25:51.060 I mean, nobody else is going to be that.

00:25:53.460 Nobody else.

00:25:54.080 Other people have tried it and they lose and they get looked at like they're complete dirtbags.

00:25:59.480 Yeah.

00:25:59.740 I mean, because they're not Trump.

00:26:02.400 Yeah.

00:26:03.680 Tommy in New York, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:08.600 Hey, Tommy.

00:26:10.080 Hey, I just wanted to say in line with what you're talking about, I think everyone owes

00:26:16.480 Donald Trump a debt of gratitude for winning this election and stumbling into the presidency

00:26:23.120 and foiling a plot for a coup to take over our government, our American way of life,

00:26:30.280 and turning it into some type of socialist Marxist state that Barack Obama had already started for eight years.

00:26:37.060 Yes.

00:26:37.400 And you're right.

00:26:37.880 We were well on the way towards that.

00:26:39.340 We sure were.

00:26:39.880 And Hillary would have absolutely continued that.

00:26:43.040 Absolutely.

00:26:43.400 She would have absolutely continued that trend.

00:26:46.380 She doesn't care.

00:26:47.380 There's definitely something to that, Tommy.

00:26:49.100 Yeah, there is something to that.

00:26:50.260 And Hillary definitely would have, you know, I mean, she was, that was already a done deal.

00:26:53.860 Yeah.

00:26:54.160 Right?

00:26:54.540 So, with anyone else running against Hillary, it would have been, you know, I mean, very

00:27:00.060 possible Hillary would have one.

00:27:01.800 Yeah, definitely.

00:27:03.740 Did you have a further comment, Tommy?

00:27:05.700 No.

00:27:05.960 Oh, we lost him.

00:27:07.440 Premature hang on the relation.

00:27:08.600 And we have thanked Donald for that, right?

00:27:09.700 I mean, we truly have.

00:27:10.840 I mean, he's done, look, America, we talked about it yesterday.

00:27:14.300 You know, while you don't necessarily, I mean, make America great again, while I'm not, you

00:27:18.420 know, crazy about that, and Donald doesn't make me, you know, feel like America is the,

00:27:23.460 but he does make me feel like America is the United States of America, the greatest

00:27:30.020 country on the planet again.

00:27:31.840 Yeah.

00:27:32.120 And you didn't, you certainly didn't have that feeling with Obama.

00:27:34.140 No, I did not.

00:27:35.140 Andrew in North Carolina, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:37.680 Hi.

00:27:38.940 Hey, gentlemen.

00:27:39.680 Thanks for taking my call.

00:27:40.940 You bet.

00:27:41.160 I have one question.

00:27:42.620 What does this change about what we know about Trump?

00:27:46.820 He's not a politician.

00:27:48.360 I don't think this changes anything.

00:27:50.160 No, it doesn't.

00:27:51.120 He's not a politician.

00:27:51.760 His family's not a politician.

00:27:54.100 Would you rather have him in who, you know, I listened to Morning Joe spout about how much

00:27:58.740 he doesn't like to read and, you know, how dumb he is.

00:28:01.500 Yeah.

00:28:01.740 I don't think he's dumb.

00:28:03.220 Would you rather have him in who's doing a pretty decent job or Clinton who likes to

00:28:08.580 take so much money under the table?

00:28:10.300 Oh, it's not even funny.

00:28:11.840 I mean, there's no comparison.

00:28:13.860 No.

00:28:14.400 And if you look at it for 50,000 feet, you know, probably shouldn't bring up Obama, but

00:28:19.980 he had, they had to have a full-time handler live in the White House to keep him on, on

00:28:27.300 the path with Valerie Jarrett.

00:28:29.280 You know, he's, he watched a lot of SportsCenter of, you know, they're just human beings that

00:28:35.900 are in office.

00:28:36.760 Yeah.

00:28:37.020 Trump's not perfect, but I think he's doing a pretty good job.

00:28:40.120 And I think this is long-term going to strengthen him, this divorce with Bannon.

00:28:46.080 Yeah.

00:28:46.660 Appreciate it.

00:28:47.220 Thanks a lot, Andrew.

00:28:48.240 And, you know, you're right.

00:28:49.400 I've, we've made this point many times.

00:28:51.580 Pleasantly surprised so far with the job he's done.

00:28:53.480 Look, absolutely.

00:28:54.580 I mean, there's things I don't like, but there is, on the other hand, much to like.

00:28:59.740 And a lot more than I thought there would be.

00:29:01.820 Amen to that.

00:29:03.200 Margarita in Florida.

00:29:05.200 Yes.

00:29:05.740 Hi.

00:29:06.260 Good morning.

00:29:07.020 Good morning, Glenn.

00:29:07.920 I just wanted to comment that while the Constitution gives us rights, we have the right, the freedom

00:29:15.560 to waive those rights.

00:29:16.720 And oftentimes when you take an employment with somebody, you waive your right to freedom

00:29:22.680 of speech.

00:29:23.220 You, you agree to confidentiality, or you might agree to non-compete, a non-compete agreement,

00:29:28.040 or you can waive your right to speedy trial or waive your right to an attorney.

00:29:31.920 You can waive rights.

00:29:33.240 And yes, Donald Trump has a right now.

00:29:36.040 Well, you can in the fact that you can be sued for certain things, but you cannot be

00:29:39.880 stopped from voicing, from voicing your, your opinion on, on politics, certainly.

00:29:45.900 Nobody can stop you, but if you were employed in the White House and you signed a confidentiality

00:29:50.200 agreement, you waived your right to speak about what went on and that.

00:29:53.080 Well, confidentiality, though, is different from criticism.

00:29:55.700 You, and I don't know that anybody can actually, you know, you can sign all kinds of agreements

00:30:00.060 and many times they don't hold up in court.

00:30:02.080 Like, I can, I can sign a, uh, a non-compete and then, uh, get a job somewhere else if this

00:30:10.220 company doesn't continue to pay me, because there's almost no judge on the planet who would

00:30:16.580 stop me from earning a living.

00:30:18.620 Some of these agreements just aren't worth the paper they're written on, and I don't see

00:30:22.720 how you could ever stop somebody's, uh, right to criticize the government.

00:30:27.380 That's, that's not America.

00:30:28.680 Obviously, that's a fight for the courts.

00:30:30.880 Nobody can criticize the government, you're correct.

00:30:33.260 Yes.

00:30:33.600 But when you sign an agreement for, as terms of employment, just like all of the people

00:30:38.420 that are in, um, the CIA and all of these agencies, they sign agreements not to speak.

00:30:43.940 Right.

00:30:44.160 Well, about certain things, right.

00:30:45.840 About certain things, not their opinions.

00:30:47.920 Yeah.

00:30:48.160 You, I mean, you always have the right to your opinion, but you can't give away state secrets

00:30:52.100 and, and campaign secrets.

00:30:54.220 Those kinds of things are understandable, that kind of confidentiality.

00:30:57.480 But when it comes to saying, hey, uh, I don't think they're doing a good job or this president

00:31:03.800 is a scumbag.

00:31:04.920 That should be your right.

00:31:06.500 I mean, that right always holds up.

00:31:07.640 I agree.

00:31:08.100 Yeah.

00:31:08.420 I agree you're entitled to give your opinion.

00:31:10.100 With my understanding, I haven't read the book, but with my understanding that he was making

00:31:13.660 statements about things that were going on in the, in the, um, administration.

00:31:17.380 That's very possible.

00:31:18.520 Yeah.

00:31:18.920 The book hasn't come out yet, so I'm not sure how deeply he goes.

00:31:22.000 And you're right with the waving the rights.

00:31:23.160 I mean, that's our argument, uh, or at least, you know, a little bit of our, uh, uh, fighting

00:31:27.500 against, uh, the NFL players.

00:31:29.220 Right.

00:31:29.580 Is that, uh, you can write whatever you want, but, uh, you signed a deal to play on the field.

00:31:34.320 So we're going to tell you what you can do while you're on the field.

00:31:36.240 Right.

00:31:36.940 Exactly.

00:31:37.260 Right.

00:31:37.960 Perfect example.

00:31:38.900 It is great job, Glenn.

00:31:40.300 All right.

00:31:40.760 It's Pat, but thank you.

00:31:41.960 Thank you.

00:31:42.520 No problem.

00:31:43.080 Hey, Glenn.

00:31:44.960 Thanks, Steve.

00:31:45.780 Appreciate it.

00:31:46.460 Uh,

00:31:46.960 is it Shavon in Georgia?

00:31:50.820 It is Shavon.

00:31:52.240 Good morning, Pat and Jeffy.

00:31:54.600 I know who I'm talking to.

00:31:56.300 Thank you.

00:31:56.960 Um, I, I was, uh, a little late coming in on the conversation about, um, all the past candidates

00:32:04.720 and, and the last election.

00:32:06.740 And I was sitting here thinking, um, well, first of all, I was like a never, I was a never

00:32:14.120 Trumper, no way Hill.

00:32:15.580 I mean, there was no way.

00:32:17.260 And, you know, there was, there was, right.

00:32:19.920 And there was a meme going around with the kid with the kitchen knife and about to put

00:32:25.340 it into electrical socket.

00:32:26.720 Like which one would be worse?

00:32:28.600 You know what I mean?

00:32:29.360 Trump Hill, you know?

00:32:30.700 Yeah.

00:32:30.920 And so that's where I was.

00:32:32.800 And, but the, um, the thing that, uh, I was remembering, uh, Carly Fiorina would like

00:32:39.580 seriously give, uh, what's her name?

00:32:43.940 Yeah.

00:32:44.360 Yeah.

00:32:44.580 Elizabeth Warren a run for her money.

00:32:46.740 She sure would.

00:32:47.840 But she was, she was amazing as a VP with, she was actually, she was the only one.

00:32:55.140 And I think we talked about this at the time.

00:32:56.740 She was the only one that really kind of stunned Trump and really sort of scored some serious

00:33:01.600 points in a direct matchup between the two.

00:33:04.340 But I don't, I don't know.

00:33:05.380 I don't know that she really did.

00:33:06.560 She did.

00:33:06.860 She did.

00:33:07.260 I don't know that she got, uh, speaking of running in 2020 though, I don't think, I don't

00:33:12.440 think she got away without getting burned.

00:33:14.480 I don't know.

00:33:15.180 From the Trump.

00:33:15.760 I don't know about that.

00:33:16.420 I don't know if I have this.

00:33:17.580 She's kind of more like a Jindalyn Walker to me.

00:33:19.600 She might.

00:33:20.560 Okay.

00:33:20.920 Maybe there's a possibility.

00:33:22.100 Okay.

00:33:22.460 Siobhan.

00:33:22.740 That's a, it's a good reminder.

00:33:24.240 It is.

00:33:24.680 We didn't mention her.

00:33:25.580 That was a mistake.

00:33:26.360 Yeah.

00:33:26.680 Triple eight, seven, two, seven.

00:33:27.860 Bex, you're so sexist, Jeffy.

00:33:29.460 It's such a sexist.

00:33:31.520 Uh, all right.

00:33:32.260 We've got to, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:33:35.200 It is simply safe.

00:33:40.760 get some than right now.

00:33:42.860 You've heard us talk about Glenn has talked about it.

00:33:45.120 I've talked about the praises of simply safe home security, just the best protection period.

00:33:50.400 They've put together a massive security arsenal for your home.

00:34:07.340 These are guys I trust.

00:34:09.340 And I know Glenn does as well.

00:34:10.660 And right now, simply safe is giving you an incredible offer.

00:34:14.080 You get $200 off this handpicked security package.

00:34:17.420 Just go to simply safe back.com.

00:34:28.400 Simply safe.com.

00:34:30.580 Simply safe back.com.

00:34:35.060 Glenn back.

00:34:48.420 Glenn back.

00:34:49.740 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:34:54.360 Been kind of musing about, you know, in this battle between Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.

00:34:59.320 You know Trump wins that war every day, all day.

00:35:02.600 Just as he won the war with 17 mostly really respectable and formidable candidates.

00:35:09.500 And he just made them all look bad.

00:35:10.940 Yeah, I mean, I don't know that any of them win.

00:35:13.240 We obviously, we mentioned, you know, maybe.

00:35:15.100 Mentioned the ones who came out the most unscathed.

00:35:17.280 Maybe Jindal, Walker, and perhaps Carly Fiorita.

00:35:20.060 And Carly Fiorita.

00:35:20.620 Now, the one thing, you know, we were talking for the first time, I think, since the birth

00:35:27.480 of Bobby Jindal.

00:35:28.700 We mentioned him possibly still having a chance.

00:35:32.220 But, so he must be past the drink now.

00:35:36.480 The water.

00:35:37.600 Oh, yeah, the speech.

00:35:38.940 Unless we passed the speech.

00:35:39.660 Yeah.

00:35:40.320 Way past the speech.

00:35:42.720 Because you and I cited that the entire campaign as the reason we just can't quite get there.

00:35:48.500 All the time.

00:35:49.020 Because of the stupid speech.

00:35:50.180 You remember the speech where he took the drink of water?

00:35:52.100 It ruined him.

00:35:54.220 Because he was touted as like the, he was the front runner guy, right?

00:35:58.340 He was the new king.

00:35:59.580 Yeah.

00:35:59.800 And through the whole speech, it was water, water, water, water.

00:36:01.680 Yeah.

00:36:02.100 Oh, yeah, it was really, really bad.

00:36:03.960 So he's past that now.

00:36:05.320 I'd forgotten about the drink.

00:36:06.380 See what I mean?

00:36:06.540 That's what I mean.

00:36:07.220 We're past it now.

00:36:07.880 He tainted himself with that.

00:36:09.100 Thank you.

00:36:09.640 So.

00:36:10.060 Thank you.

00:36:10.580 More Glenn Beck with Pat and Jeffy coming up.

00:36:22.500 Glenn Beck.

00:36:29.720 Love.

00:36:31.320 Courage.

00:36:32.680 Truth.

00:36:33.940 Glenn Beck.

00:36:34.640 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:36:38.900 We've been fascinated by this battle between Donald Trump and Steve Bannon and have kind

00:36:48.300 of been musing about Trump's interesting way of winning the battles he wages.

00:36:54.200 It's really something that I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

00:36:58.780 We've probably mentioned that multiple times during the campaign, but as you look at perspective

00:37:05.040 candidates for next time, if the president doesn't run for a second term and his wife

00:37:09.640 actually said she doesn't want him to or he won't.

00:37:13.440 Do you remember that?

00:37:14.160 A few months or two ago, she was interviewed and she thought maybe that he wouldn't, that

00:37:19.540 he wouldn't.

00:37:20.540 And she might be okay with that.

00:37:23.060 That's a tough job.

00:37:24.260 And that's, it's tough to beat in this kind of limelight.

00:37:26.460 Lonnie didn't sign up for that.

00:37:27.780 Right.

00:37:28.380 She's not.

00:37:28.820 I mean, while she's been great as a first lady, I mean, she's done nothing to diminish

00:37:34.280 that role, but it's not the role that she wants.

00:37:38.720 I'm sure it wasn't her lifelong dream to have this kind of scrutiny.

00:37:42.900 Oh, what a nightmare that would be.

00:37:45.500 So as we look back at the field of 2016, it just feels to me and I think mostly to Jeffy

00:37:51.520 that there's a lot of tainted candidates who probably wouldn't have much of a shot at

00:37:57.420 the presidency at this point.

00:37:58.700 And I guess that could change because things change dramatically overnight sometimes.

00:38:02.380 They sure do.

00:38:02.880 But I, you know, we've, we've gone down the list and we've maybe, you know, brought a

00:38:07.260 couple back that might have a possibility.

00:38:09.360 Cause when I was first thinking about it earlier this morning, I didn't think there was one

00:38:13.580 that did not be, get tainted from the Trump scorched earth pain.

00:38:19.480 I mean, not one.

00:38:20.460 Cause you look, I looked at those, I think about those guys now and I'm like, I like

00:38:24.500 them.

00:38:25.180 I appreciate them.

00:38:26.700 I appreciate what they're doing today.

00:38:28.560 If they're still in office, if they're doing things, that's great.

00:38:31.360 I would still, you know, I'd vote for Marco.

00:38:33.280 I voted for Marco Rubio once in my life.

00:38:35.280 I'd vote for him again.

00:38:36.000 If I had the opportunity, Ted Cruz, I voted for once.

00:38:38.920 I'd vote for him again, give him the opportunity, but not for president.

00:38:43.700 Well, yeah, I don't know that we'll ever have that chance again.

00:38:46.120 Cause I, they must sense that something's changed since last they ran.

00:38:51.460 Uh, you know, you look at a guy like Jeb Bush.

00:38:53.820 I don't think there's any way he'd throw his hat in the ring again.

00:38:56.760 He just got destroyed.

00:38:58.540 Uh, Chris Christie did a good job of destroying his own political career.

00:39:03.200 Sure did.

00:39:03.840 Guys like Ben Carson, I think are done.

00:39:05.760 And Mike Huckabee, certainly John Kasich.

00:39:08.980 Would you want John Kasich to, to ever run again?

00:39:11.740 No, I didn't want him to run that time.

00:39:13.440 I barely want to see him as a guy.

00:39:14.680 I didn't actually, uh, Rand Paul.

00:39:17.800 I don't know.

00:39:18.540 It maybe, I don't, I think he will run, but has he been tainted a little bit too?

00:39:23.740 I mean, Trump's steamrolled this field.

00:39:27.460 So my thought is maybe an outside chance for little Marco Rubio, although he's been tainted

00:39:34.740 with that.

00:39:35.520 Uh, then you think Bobby Jindal perhaps and Walker, the guys who got out of it fairly early

00:39:40.260 and missed a lot of the salvos from, from president Trump.

00:39:43.840 Yeah, they did.

00:39:44.680 Maybe have some shot, but I think the guy, uh, best suited to run if, uh, president Trump

00:39:51.020 doesn't run for a second term would be, would be banned sass because he was completely out

00:39:55.040 of that.

00:39:55.240 Yes, he was.

00:39:56.260 Now he's commented, commented on Trump, uh, but I don't think he's been steamrolled.

00:40:00.980 No, he has not.

00:40:01.760 No, Donald has not taken, tried to, uh, tried to burn him at all.

00:40:05.800 And for the Democrats, I don't even, I can't even think, you know, you, obviously they're

00:40:10.820 going to go to Elizabeth, uh, uh, Warren, Warren, and they're going to go to, they're going

00:40:15.940 to try to convince Joe Biden to, to come out of his mouth mouth balls.

00:40:19.540 I mean, he's been packed away and forgotten, right?

00:40:23.280 These guys, I mean, Bernie Sanders, what is he going to be pushing 80?

00:40:26.820 We're talking about Orrin Hatch retiring at 83, right?

00:40:29.340 At the end of this year.

00:40:30.260 And they're talking about replacing him with a 70 year old man.

00:40:33.180 Now look, age is all relative.

00:40:35.460 Yeah.

00:40:35.620 Age is all relative.

00:40:36.900 I get it.

00:40:37.440 Wherever, whatever age you're at, that older age looks, doesn't look as bad as it did when

00:40:42.020 you were younger.

00:40:42.400 But think about that.

00:40:43.000 Mitt Romney is 70 now.

00:40:45.080 He serves a one term.

00:40:46.800 You're 76.

00:40:47.920 Yeah.

00:40:48.180 Maybe 77 by the time that comes around.

00:40:51.740 Uh, wow.

00:40:53.040 Right.

00:40:54.120 For a second term going into it.

00:40:55.560 And you know, we'll hear if that, if that is the case.

00:40:57.880 Well, 77 is the new 47.

00:41:01.720 Well, and you know, it, and look, it is right.

00:41:04.260 I mean, for sure.

00:41:05.080 77 is.

00:41:06.200 It's not like it used to be.

00:41:07.360 No, not even close.

00:41:08.320 It's the new 60 anyway.

00:41:09.780 Right.

00:41:10.020 I mean, 75 probably is definitely 60.

00:41:12.140 Yeah.

00:41:12.600 In today's world.

00:41:13.580 But, uh, you know, is it worth having in an office?

00:41:17.240 I mean, look at you.

00:41:18.280 You don't look a day past your mid one hundreds.

00:41:22.260 Thank you.

00:41:23.060 I think.

00:41:24.180 Thank you.

00:41:24.860 And do you, the mid one hundreds are like the mid one hundreds of the old.

00:41:29.360 Hey, man, I remember the mid one hundreds, man.

00:41:31.260 I felt like a whippersnapper.

00:41:33.680 Uh, Jim in North Carolina, uh, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:41:38.280 Hi.

00:41:39.140 Hey, Pat.

00:41:39.920 Hey.

00:41:40.360 Thanks for taking my call.

00:41:42.040 Hey, um, just real quick.

00:41:43.720 What really irritates me is the way that they denigrate Trump and his intelligence.

00:41:49.100 And I was telling the, uh, the other gentlemen that back about 20 years ago, 22 years ago

00:41:54.940 in Miami, I had the, uh, he was negotiating.

00:41:58.520 We had a, a prop.

00:42:00.440 He had a property.

00:42:01.380 I was doing zoning and it was multifaceted.

00:42:05.280 There were zoning problems, legal problems, the city.

00:42:08.100 He wanted the city to do some things.

00:42:09.900 And he came in and some of them are called intractable problems that they'd been working

00:42:14.940 on for nine months, six months.

00:42:17.660 And, and it was amazing to watch him at work.

00:42:20.840 He broke it down.

00:42:22.500 Um, we walked out of that meeting with legal issues that even through a potential lawsuit

00:42:29.080 from a homeowner's association, uh, in, in the morning that had just come up and he

00:42:34.320 handled each of those.

00:42:35.720 And it was amazing to see his negotiating skills.

00:42:38.720 And I remember him looking at the Miami's planning director saying, I don't want this

00:42:44.040 anymore because I don't want the city council to have to vote on it.

00:42:47.440 So we're going to keep it at your level.

00:42:49.760 Are you able to make a decision?

00:42:51.760 And he said, no.

00:42:53.160 So Trump and the planning director, after everything was done, left that meeting and went and saw

00:42:59.180 the, uh, city manager.

00:43:01.100 And to, for these media types and the people that work with Trump to say that he is anything

00:43:08.160 less than intelligent.

00:43:09.400 I mean, he went to Wharton school and I, I vote for Cruz, by the way, I'm a, I'm a cruiser,

00:43:15.720 but let me tell you, I am so happy he made it.

00:43:19.120 And he graduated from the school of Penn school of business, Wharton, which is an amazing school,

00:43:26.940 one of the best.

00:43:27.800 And to call him anything less than intelligent, uh, but watching him at the table, he was

00:43:35.760 self-effacing.

00:43:37.480 Uh, he broke it down where the, uh, other people were trying to complicate it.

00:43:42.200 He moved things off the table.

00:43:44.140 He knew that would, uh, he was give and take and he won and he got everything we needed.

00:43:50.080 And then he turned around and sold the project before he even built it.

00:43:53.020 But that's another story.

00:43:54.100 Yeah.

00:43:55.480 Jim, I don't think there's any question that, uh, there's intelligence with Donald Trump

00:44:00.600 because you don't become a billionaire by being a moron.

00:44:03.400 No, you just don't.

00:44:04.280 But I think there are things he just doesn't care about and hasn't paid any attention to.

00:44:11.960 And, and those things are the things that I was concerned with during the campaign.

00:44:16.700 And, and, but I, you're right.

00:44:18.920 I think he's a smart guy.

00:44:20.420 There's just, if some of these things were beyond his interest level and I think now he's

00:44:25.560 interested and I think, you know, he's obviously starting to ramp up and, and understand the

00:44:32.040 things that he must understand as president.

00:44:34.480 And an example of that is, uh, the interview that we played from, uh, from the SC cup show

00:44:39.300 where he was like, we got to the fourth amendment and Trump was like, I got to work.

00:44:43.520 Yeah.

00:44:43.820 I don't have time for this.

00:44:45.160 I don't care about this.

00:44:46.300 Right.

00:44:46.700 I got other stuff to do.

00:44:48.280 Yeah.

00:44:48.700 He prioritizes.

00:44:49.880 And I believe that when the fourth amendment comes up or the second amendment, he'll be,

00:44:54.700 um, uh, right on top of it and be, uh, making good decisions.

00:45:00.000 I don't, I don't doubt that now.

00:45:01.320 That's what I voted for now.

00:45:02.140 Yeah.

00:45:02.880 Appreciate it.

00:45:03.380 Thanks a lot, Jim.

00:45:04.280 Um, I, I, it's tough with Trump because, you know, clearly during the course of the campaign,

00:45:10.880 we found there were weaknesses in his knowledge of certain things that are important when

00:45:16.880 you rise to the office of the president of the United States.

00:45:19.600 But I think since he's been brought up to speed on a lot of that.

00:45:22.720 Yes, he has.

00:45:23.320 And again, we, we, and he's done a surprisingly good job.

00:45:27.300 And we also talked about, you know, gee, he'll surround himself with some people that

00:45:32.460 do have the depth of that knowledge and can give him, you know, help him through it, which

00:45:37.460 appears to be the case.

00:45:38.740 It's 888-727-BECK, uh, Steve in North Dakota.

00:45:43.700 You're on with, uh, Pat and Jeffy.

00:45:45.400 Hi.

00:45:46.860 Hey, guys.

00:45:47.760 Hey.

00:45:49.380 Yeah.

00:45:49.840 So this has been bothering me for quite a while that watching Lois Lerner be questioned in

00:45:54.760 front of Congress and, uh, she's working for, you know, IRS, but the U.S. government.

00:46:02.680 Well, you got to swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

00:46:05.400 You know, I'm a retired military.

00:46:06.500 Well, when you're brought before Congress and they're questioning you about your specific

00:46:11.120 job, and if you have to plead the fifth, because what you're doing on your job may incriminate

00:46:18.400 you, shouldn't you automatically be discharged from your position?

00:46:23.060 I mean, oh, you know, you go back to work.

00:46:25.200 So how'd it go today?

00:46:25.960 Well, I pleaded the fifth.

00:46:26.840 Oh, so business as usual, back to work.

00:46:28.780 You're like, what?

00:46:30.280 Yeah, that's pretty amazing.

00:46:31.140 You're a government employee and you're pleading the fifth?

00:46:33.440 You're doing things that may incriminate you?

00:46:35.360 Bye.

00:46:35.680 Hey, that should be a part of your contract.

00:46:38.180 That's neat.

00:46:38.740 Do you have to plead the fifth?

00:46:39.480 Right.

00:46:39.940 Now, people would scream that that's a violation.

00:46:42.220 You don't have a job anymore.

00:46:43.120 People would scream about that being a violation, but you don't, you don't have a right to keep

00:46:46.380 your job.

00:46:46.840 You just have a right not to be prosecuted for something like that.

00:46:50.360 So I think you're right.

00:46:52.300 Yeah.

00:46:52.620 Yeah.

00:46:53.100 Absolutely.

00:46:53.660 Thanks, Steve.

00:46:54.080 That's a need to know, Steve.

00:46:54.920 We can't talk about that right now.

00:46:57.160 Brian in Oklahoma, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:46:59.580 Hi.

00:46:59.680 Hey, I kind of think you guys are possibly dead wrong on Rand Paul because a couple of

00:47:06.980 good reasons.

00:47:07.920 Okay.

00:47:08.200 First of all, he's got his father's libertarian base back in him.

00:47:12.420 Yeah.

00:47:12.880 Yeah.

00:47:13.180 Second of all, he's kind of taken over.

00:47:15.720 That didn't go very far for him in 2016, though.

00:47:18.680 Did it?

00:47:19.240 Well, we're still behind him.

00:47:22.820 Second of all, he's taken over for Tom Coburn on the kind of government waste thing.

00:47:26.600 He put out a great thing the past couple of weeks.

00:47:28.480 We didn't point out there's a ridiculous government waste.

00:47:31.380 Three, he's been like our champion for privacy.

00:47:34.660 He's been taken on this.

00:47:36.200 Right now, they're trying to give a permanent extension to the spying bill, and he's taken

00:47:41.580 a stand against it.

00:47:43.200 And also, he's been our best guy for the economics.

00:47:45.740 He was willing to take a stand on getting the budget done and did the stand-in where

00:47:54.300 he just brought everything to a halt.

00:47:56.160 He's the kind of guy, and I'm telling you, if you put him with somebody like Trey Gowdy

00:48:01.640 on a ticket, Trump would have a problem.

00:48:05.040 Or, you know, the thing I love about Carly Fiorina was she was a CEO.

00:48:09.440 So it was CEO versus CEO when you watched them to argue.

00:48:13.360 Yeah, right.

00:48:14.320 Because Trump's a business guy, and when he's taken on Fiorina, she was head of HP.

00:48:18.400 So it was like in a negotiating table where, you know, watching them two go at it.

00:48:22.300 I love it.

00:48:23.200 I don't think that—

00:48:24.300 I mean, you make a good ticket there with one of those guys.

00:48:26.120 You may be right about Rand Paul running again and not being scorched from the Trump campaign,

00:48:32.800 but to run against—you just mentioned the possibility of him, say, running against Trump

00:48:38.100 again?

00:48:38.680 No way.

00:48:40.020 No, no, I don't think any Republican would primary Trump.

00:48:42.900 No, I don't think so.

00:48:44.520 I think he was marginalized by the people who were moderating the debate.

00:48:48.560 I don't think—every time he started to make a good point, they moved away from him.

00:48:51.780 Yeah.

00:48:52.360 On purpose.

00:48:53.160 I was watching it.

00:48:54.120 Those kind of guys were always the last ones to get a good question and the last ones to

00:48:57.600 get any kind of reply.

00:48:58.780 Yeah.

00:48:59.320 What is up, though, do you think, with the beating he got in his own yard?

00:49:03.180 And he won't say anything about that.

00:49:06.120 He will—

00:49:06.840 Yeah, Brian.

00:49:07.580 I'm a little bit bothered by that.

00:49:08.740 Is that—it's interesting to me that a guy beat you within an inch of your life, essentially.

00:49:13.960 You're no kidding.

00:49:14.300 I mean, there was—he was really injured.

00:49:16.120 Yeah, he was seriously injured.

00:49:18.560 And the guy told him why he did it, but he will not—he will not disclose that.

00:49:23.180 I don't understand that right now.

00:49:24.740 That's such—I mean, not that that disqualifies him from a presidential run.

00:49:29.220 It just—it's bothersome to me, because is there something to hide there?

00:49:33.460 I don't know.

00:49:34.380 I don't know.

00:49:35.400 Well, we're—

00:49:35.660 Where he lives, I suspect the kind of people that he may be, you know, some of his neighbors.

00:49:42.000 Let's just say liberalism is a mental disorder, and I'll leave it at that.

00:49:46.540 Thanks, Brian.

00:49:47.460 888-727-BECK.

00:49:52.180 Glenn Beck.

00:50:01.460 Glenn Beck.

00:50:02.920 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:50:03.900 It'll be back bright and early Monday morning.

00:50:07.580 888-727-BECK.

00:50:11.200 I was really surprised that President Trump refrained from tweeting yesterday.

00:50:15.360 I know.

00:50:16.040 About this Bannon thing.

00:50:17.480 That was—that was shocking.

00:50:19.240 He did a statement.

00:50:20.260 They did a statement.

00:50:21.240 Left it at that.

00:50:21.980 He didn't tweet about it all day.

00:50:23.160 I didn't know if he was even capable of doing that.

00:50:27.160 Well, earlier yesterday, he lost his phone.

00:50:29.620 I mean, he didn't tweet until late in the morning.

00:50:31.420 I thought there was an issue.

00:50:32.360 So there might have been an issue with him.

00:50:33.720 I wonder if somebody finally convinced him, you know, tweeting about everything that's

00:50:37.460 on your mind is maybe not the best idea.

00:50:40.160 Maybe.

00:50:40.920 Who knows?

00:50:41.380 That seems to work for about a day.

00:50:44.020 Donald Jr., on the other hand, tweeted quite a bit.

00:50:46.400 Yes, he did.

00:50:47.340 Steve had the honor of working in the White House, according to Don Jr.'s tweet, and serving

00:50:51.600 the country.

00:50:52.440 Unfortunately, he squandered that privilege and turned that opportunity into a nightmare

00:50:57.720 of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying, and undermining the president.

00:51:03.240 Steve is not a strategist.

00:51:04.620 He's an opportunist.

00:51:05.760 Think about it.

00:51:07.600 In earlier tweets, Don Jr. said, Andrew Breitbart would be ashamed of the division in lies

00:51:15.920 Steve Bannon is spreading.

00:51:18.100 Oof.

00:51:19.080 So maybe he just left the tweeting to his son, thinking, yeah, he's taking care of that part.

00:51:27.360 I think he did.

00:51:28.340 I think he did.

00:51:28.740 I think he did, yeah.

00:51:29.660 Yeah.

00:51:29.880 And I think that's also, I think that's also, especially after Bannon was played nice,

00:51:39.800 nice, and tried to say that, you know, he was still friends.

00:51:44.040 Oh, yeah.

00:51:44.540 It was, you know, it wasn't.

00:51:46.740 On his radio show yesterday?

00:51:48.080 Yeah, on the Breitbart News, things were serious.

00:51:51.300 So.

00:51:51.500 Maybe that helped.

00:51:51.980 It may have eased a little bit of that.

00:51:54.720 It's possible.

00:51:55.640 Donald in Ohio, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:58.100 Hi.

00:51:59.880 Hello, Pat and Jeff.

00:52:01.620 How are you guys doing?

00:52:02.400 Doing good.

00:52:02.900 All right.

00:52:03.820 Hey, two questions.

00:52:05.720 First question, is there any chance that, let's say things go well in the next couple

00:52:10.460 years, we hold the Senate and the House, is there any chance Trump would say, hey, I'm

00:52:16.260 only going to run one term, I'm endorsing tense to run, and I want Congress to impose

00:52:23.800 term limits on themselves?

00:52:25.800 Is there any chance that could happen?

00:52:27.220 I think there's definitely a chance.

00:52:28.520 Yeah, he turns it over to somebody else.

00:52:30.880 That'd be strong.

00:52:31.600 Yeah.

00:52:32.420 I think he could ride into the sunset as, you know, going out with one term and saying,

00:52:38.100 look, I'm going to put a limit on my term, and I want Congress to do the same.

00:52:42.940 Yeah.

00:52:43.180 And look what, thanks for the call, Donald.

00:52:45.120 Look what serving in the office of the presidency has done for other people afterwards.

00:52:48.900 They've increased their wealth exponentially as a result of the presidency.

00:52:55.800 An already super successful billionaire businessman, what will that do for him if he just does

00:53:01.440 the one term and then turns his thoughts to his own business?

00:53:04.220 But if...

00:53:05.060 It'd be huge.

00:53:05.460 It would be.

00:53:06.140 And we had forgotten about Pence, the possibility of Pence.

00:53:09.060 I was just going to go there.

00:53:10.180 As vice president.

00:53:10.920 If Donald does that, what would he call for it?

00:53:14.760 So he says, I'm running one term, and I'm going to back Mike Pence, and he's my vice president.

00:53:18.800 I want him.

00:53:19.880 Does Pence walk in under the Trump umbrella, or do people fight Pence, like Ben Sasse and

00:53:26.320 some of the people that we think are scorched earthers?

00:53:28.220 Oh, I think he'd be primaried, yeah.

00:53:29.120 Yeah.

00:53:29.680 Yeah, but Pence would have a...

00:53:31.680 He'd have an inside track, though, especially if he stays on the good side of Donald Trump.

00:53:36.140 And Donald does some campaigning for him.

00:53:37.720 Randy in North Carolina, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:53:42.280 Well, good morning, Glenn Beck.

00:53:44.800 Does anybody else know that you're Pat Gray, other than me?

00:53:48.480 There's a few.

00:53:49.180 There's a couple that are paying attention.

00:53:50.840 Wait, what?

00:53:51.460 There's a couple.

00:53:53.240 Well, I don't know.

00:53:54.580 I've been listening here going, hey, what the...

00:53:57.000 How the...

00:53:57.920 Hey, Steve Bannon, I'm not a fan.

00:54:01.360 I'm a crew reporter.

00:54:02.060 No, I'm not either.

00:54:02.960 Yeah.

00:54:03.680 Well, so many of Beck's fans, for a reason.

00:54:06.540 You know, for a good, good reason.

00:54:08.080 Yeah.

00:54:08.660 However, and I'm more than pleased with what I'm seeing, but that's another subject.

00:54:14.260 Bannon, he was the devil, wasn't he?

00:54:16.540 Yes, he was.

00:54:17.440 Yes, he was.

00:54:18.540 Yeah.

00:54:18.880 Is he going to become an angel?

00:54:20.320 Well, he is.

00:54:21.040 Is he going to be a...

00:54:21.880 If he sticks to whatever negative rhetoric he had in the book for Trump, although he didn't

00:54:28.600 do that last night, so I don't know.

00:54:30.000 Well, as long as he sticks to the criticism in the book, the media is going to love him.

00:54:35.160 Absolutely.

00:54:36.260 That's all it takes, really.

00:54:37.560 That's all it takes.

00:54:38.360 I remember Comey.

00:54:40.660 Exactly.

00:54:41.300 The whole Comey is the devil.

00:54:42.640 Comey is an angel.

00:54:43.760 Is he the devil again?

00:54:44.700 Is he an angel now?

00:54:45.440 Right.

00:54:45.620 Here comes Bannon.

00:54:47.840 Bannon.

00:54:48.380 And a lot of conservatives are not fans of Bannon.

00:54:51.040 I know you know that.

00:54:52.220 Yes.

00:54:52.520 And, you know, Jabba the Hutt or, you know, whatever, but he bothers me in many ways.

00:54:59.880 Some ways he doesn't.

00:55:01.320 However, I'm not a fan, but I'm very, very curious, and I'm waiting with bated breath

00:55:07.200 to see CNN turn him into, unless they already have, an angel.

00:55:12.340 Yeah, absolutely.

00:55:13.380 Thanks for the call, Randy.

00:55:14.120 It's a good observation because if he sticks to criticizing Trump, oh, he's going to be a

00:55:19.060 hero to the left.

00:55:19.920 But he'll be on CNN and MSNBC every day.

00:55:25.260 888-727-BECK.

00:55:27.620 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn Beck.

00:55:36.920 Glenn Beck.

00:55:49.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:52.900 With Pat and Jeffy.

00:55:54.060 888-727-BECK.

00:55:57.780 French President Emmanuel Macron has said he's going to overhaul media laws in France this

00:56:05.340 year.

00:56:05.740 Good.

00:56:06.340 He's going to fight the spread of fake news on social media.

00:56:09.820 That's good.

00:56:11.180 Good for him.

00:56:12.080 Good for him.

00:56:12.680 How in the world do you...

00:56:17.060 Who gets to decide what's fake news and what's not?

00:56:19.220 He does.

00:56:20.920 There's your problem.

00:56:22.460 Right there.

00:56:22.980 Why is it?

00:56:23.560 Right there.

00:56:24.000 What do you mean?

00:56:24.580 When the head of the country is deciding what's fake news and what isn't.

00:56:27.220 He'll pick a couple people that he believes are smart enough to decide, and that's their

00:56:31.020 job.

00:56:31.580 Sure.

00:56:32.020 That's the fake news department over there.

00:56:34.780 He's openly accused TV channel RT, the Russian Today, Russia Today station, which is a pile

00:56:41.140 of crap, but he accused them of sowing disinformation about him.

00:56:45.600 He says, if we want to protect liberal democracies, we must have strong legislation.

00:56:51.960 Man, that's the way that oppression begins right there.

00:56:55.120 Oh, my gosh.

00:56:55.720 Good luck in France.

00:56:57.420 Speaking of France and French, this is incredible news.

00:57:01.620 And I can't believe we haven't discussed it until now.

00:57:05.400 Taco Bell is introducing French fries.

00:57:07.400 I was just thinking the same thing.

00:57:08.500 I saw the ad.

00:57:09.200 I was like, blah, blah, blah.

00:57:10.420 Yeah, Ted Cruz couldn't be president again.

00:57:12.500 Taco Bell has fries.

00:57:13.520 What about fries at Taco Bell?

00:57:15.540 And it's funny that you were reminded of that, talking about France.

00:57:21.120 Because especially since French fries have nothing to do with France.

00:57:26.640 Taco Bell.

00:57:27.700 Yeah.

00:57:28.120 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:28.740 French fries.

00:57:30.040 They look good.

00:57:31.620 I guess this has been speculated.

00:57:33.380 They apparently serve this overseas, but they haven't done it here until soon.

00:57:37.740 It's coming when.

00:57:38.680 Yeah, the end of this month.

00:57:39.620 They're test marketing it right now in West Virginia and California.

00:57:43.960 And they're going to bring it nationwide.

00:57:46.920 Think of that.

00:57:47.840 So they've already got the menu, the dollar menu items, the range from breakfast tacos to cinnamon

00:57:54.040 twist.

00:57:54.480 Now they're bringing in the French fries that will also come with a side of nacho cheese.

00:58:02.600 Oh, yeah.

00:58:03.280 Or you can opt for the supreme adding pico de gallo beef and sour cream on top.

00:58:08.340 Maybe.

00:58:08.800 Oh, my God.

00:58:09.980 Maybe.

00:58:10.520 But some fries and some nacho cheese and three or four tacos, you're pretty much good.

00:58:14.780 Is this a great time to be alive or what?

00:58:18.840 Triple eight.

00:58:20.440 727.

00:58:21.020 This is all because of the Trump's tax plan.

00:58:23.300 That's exactly what it is.

00:58:24.540 It's giving opportunities to businesses to really expand and grow and offer people French

00:58:30.960 fries.

00:58:31.400 Thank you.

00:58:33.620 George in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:37.340 Good morning, gentlemen.

00:58:39.000 Morning.

00:58:39.300 Good morning, gentlemen and Jeffy.

00:58:42.320 Thank you.

00:58:43.240 What you're seeing here is I think Trump is acting as an executive, somebody who's taken

00:58:48.840 over a new company, as it were.

00:58:50.880 However, he's learning where his tools are, how he can go about getting things done, learning

00:58:56.900 what embedded staff is in place.

00:58:59.680 And I figured that the first six months, eight months were going to be very difficult to figure

00:59:04.900 out what he can do, what he can control directly, what he has to make deals with and all that.

00:59:11.760 But I think it's going to smooth out as it goes here because he realizes he can't have

00:59:17.020 his way 100%.

00:59:18.720 And that's why you're seeing things like the tax plan got passed.

00:59:23.900 But also, I think the tax plan got passed because if it didn't, Republicans were going

00:59:28.320 to be absolutely decimated going into the midterms.

00:59:32.140 And I don't think that that's going to be the case this time.

00:59:35.680 Yeah, I hope not.

00:59:37.760 Thanks for the call, George.

00:59:38.940 It is possible, though, that the tax plan, the tax bill won't be quite enough to offset

00:59:47.440 what everybody expects is going to be a favorable outcome for the Democrats in November.

00:59:52.540 But I don't know.

00:59:53.780 Anything can happen between now and then.

00:59:55.540 And perceptions can change completely in this amount of time.

00:59:59.460 Mike in Utah.

01:00:00.620 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:00:01.820 Hi.

01:00:01.940 Hey, guys.

01:00:04.520 Hey.

01:00:05.100 Listening to you talk about the French fries at Taco Bell made me really reminisce for

01:00:11.020 those days of spoons.

01:00:13.220 I miss the spoons.

01:00:16.640 So I think you guys are giving Trump too much credit for decimating the Republican field.

01:00:22.180 You know, the way I see it, what he did was, well, he took out, who did he take out?

01:00:27.240 He took out the moderates.

01:00:28.340 He took out Bush.

01:00:29.100 He took out Christie.

01:00:30.060 He took out Kasich.

01:00:31.560 And he left the conservatives to split the vote.

01:00:34.840 I mean, guys, at the very end, had Marco Rubio not been in Florida or even Ben Carson gotten

01:00:42.400 out before Texas, Cruz would have gotten the super majority that he needed in Texas and picked

01:00:47.520 up more votes.

01:00:48.300 They were fracturing Cruz's votes.

01:00:50.980 Cruz could have beaten Trump if he didn't have 10 other conservatives siphoning votes

01:00:56.560 off.

01:00:56.840 I mean, what did Trump wind up with, 30-some percent of the take every time?

01:01:01.760 I mean, that's not a winning formula.

01:01:04.140 I still think that a conservative could beat him if there aren't 15 conservatives taking

01:01:10.420 all the votes.

01:01:11.760 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 At the end, though, at the end, it was just Trump, Cruz, and Kasich.

01:01:18.360 Right.

01:01:18.620 And he lost, and Ted lost that battle.

01:01:23.960 He did.

01:01:24.940 He was the only conservative at that time when that Super Tuesday happened where he had to

01:01:29.840 win some of the states and couldn't quite get enough of it done.

01:01:33.140 So, I don't know.

01:01:34.620 I mean, we underestimated this guy the entire campaign.

01:01:39.700 And I just don't want to do that anymore because we were proven completely wrong.

01:01:45.340 And maybe I'm wrong.

01:01:46.680 You know, maybe I'm too inside.

01:01:48.120 Maybe I've seen, you know, we've watched it.

01:01:50.140 We've covered every angle of all these guys.

01:01:52.240 But when I started thinking of all of them up on that stage again, and even with Carly

01:01:57.340 and Bobby Jindal and maybe Walker, they're done.

01:02:05.460 They're done, man.

01:02:06.620 I don't see how, I don't see them winning over America anymore.

01:02:09.980 We'll see.

01:02:10.460 Appreciate the call, Mike.

01:02:11.560 Actually, it wouldn't be an option between, let's say, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump anyway.

01:02:16.440 Because they never challenge a sitting president in the field.

01:02:20.260 So, he would have to be completely out of it for that to ever happen.

01:02:22.360 And that's kind of the point where if he steps down and whoever he puts his hand on, whoever

01:02:27.180 he anoints.

01:02:28.600 Which would probably be Pence.

01:02:30.420 I mean, that's still going to be a tough road to go up against him, right?

01:02:33.880 But you probably have a better chance against him than anyone else.

01:02:38.900 Well, other than Trump, I mean.

01:02:40.620 You know, I mean, you still might be able to pull off Pete and Pence.

01:02:45.100 Yeah, I don't know.

01:02:45.940 I think, again, you'd have to be untainted.

01:02:48.460 I still believe that they kind of are.

01:02:51.700 I know.

01:02:52.060 That's what I mean.

01:02:54.280 Could Ben Sasse beat Pence?

01:02:56.260 I don't know.

01:02:56.740 He'll have to do a lot between now and then.

01:02:58.880 Yes.

01:02:59.360 As far as helping Americans understand who he is and what he stands for.

01:03:02.940 Because then you're up against Pence and Trump.

01:03:04.540 Yeah.

01:03:05.120 Let's go to Mike in Florida.

01:03:06.480 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:07.520 Hi.

01:03:08.600 Good morning, Glenn and Stu.

01:03:11.840 I know who I'm talking to.

01:03:13.460 I know I'm talking to Pat and the company kick toy, Jeffy.

01:03:17.540 Thank you.

01:03:17.960 That's right.

01:03:18.380 Thank you.

01:03:20.480 That's a good way to describe Jeffy.

01:03:23.340 The company kick toy.

01:03:24.500 I like that.

01:03:24.980 Yeah, that's what he is.

01:03:26.600 Yeah, we'll have to put that on his office door.

01:03:29.140 There you go.

01:03:30.780 You say that like it's not already.

01:03:32.300 Anyway, I think Cruz could run again.

01:03:38.300 I mean, if Richard Nixon, remember, you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.

01:03:43.080 Of course, they did.

01:03:44.100 They kicked him around pretty well.

01:03:45.860 But I think Cruz could run at some future time.

01:03:49.680 I don't think he could run against Trump or Pence.

01:03:51.840 I don't think he would run against Pence.

01:03:54.460 But I think he has a future.

01:03:56.220 And by the way, you guys said that Bobby Jendal was the one who drank the water during the speech.

01:04:01.480 That was Marco Rubio.

01:04:03.180 No, that's another one.

01:04:04.260 Rubio did it also.

01:04:05.440 But it was Jendal first.

01:04:07.900 Don't take Jendal off the pedestal.

01:04:10.380 He was number one.

01:04:11.840 Okay.

01:04:13.340 I just remember Rubio doing it.

01:04:15.220 Yes, he did.

01:04:16.060 Yes, he did.

01:04:16.760 Yeah, Marco definitely did it.

01:04:17.880 That was the one where he was speaking from Florida.

01:04:19.760 I got there where he needed that bottle of water and he was waiting for it.

01:04:23.100 Pat, could I take some liberties with the company kick toy if I might?

01:04:26.280 Sure, absolutely.

01:04:27.260 Please do.

01:04:27.940 What are you talking about?

01:04:28.660 Don't we have to break or something?

01:04:29.640 You remember that movie Conan the Barbarian?

01:04:33.120 I do.

01:04:33.780 Well, I remember my grandfather taking me to it.

01:04:36.040 It's so old now.

01:04:36.740 Yeah, I remember the tree of woe when they tied him to the tree of woe.

01:04:40.780 Okay.

01:04:42.020 Yeah, I appreciate you donating your family tree for the prop department there.

01:04:47.020 Thank you.

01:04:47.820 Thanks, Mike.

01:04:48.560 Anything I could do for the cause, I'm here for you.

01:04:50.920 The company and listener kick toy, which is fantastic.

01:04:53.680 It has turned into that for some reason.

01:04:55.680 Yes, it has.

01:04:56.100 James in Texas, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:59.680 Hey, how are y'all doing this morning?

01:05:01.140 Doing good.

01:05:02.320 I think you're a little off base with the whole Bannon audience going to turn on him.

01:05:08.720 I just don't see that.

01:05:10.560 I'm not a Bannon fan.

01:05:12.200 I've been listening to the show the last couple of months because I can't handle Fox News anymore.

01:05:17.460 But you listen to their callers.

01:05:19.800 And, I mean, like this morning, for example, it was one after another.

01:05:23.740 Everybody's all outraged about the Trump DACA thing.

01:05:28.180 You know?

01:05:28.680 And I don't see them running from it.

01:05:31.280 I'm not sure we said anything about Bannon's audience.

01:05:36.380 Have we?

01:05:36.880 I appreciate the call, James.

01:05:38.020 No, not really.

01:05:38.560 I don't know that we've...

01:05:40.440 Will Steve Bannon be done with his audience?

01:05:43.300 I don't think we've commented on that.

01:05:45.820 What is happening, though, is he's being destroyed with the American people by Trump.

01:05:50.920 Yeah.

01:05:51.420 I think that is happening.

01:05:53.100 Now, will his audience stick with him?

01:05:54.500 I don't know.

01:05:54.920 I'm not familiar enough with Steve Bannon's audience to know, or that he...

01:06:00.340 I wasn't even aware he had a show until there was a news story about what he said on it.

01:06:06.840 Yeah.

01:06:07.480 So...

01:06:08.040 Well, he had the show before he started, before he went with Trump.

01:06:12.140 Yeah, he's got some kind of relationship with SiriusXA.

01:06:14.940 Yeah, on the Patriot Channel.

01:06:16.260 Yeah.

01:06:16.480 And then with Breitbart.

01:06:17.840 Right.

01:06:18.100 And then...

01:06:19.880 Well, he runs Breitbart.

01:06:20.680 I think he went away.

01:06:21.560 Well, yeah, he stepped away.

01:06:24.920 Yeah.

01:06:25.080 From running Breitbart.

01:06:26.900 And then he's...

01:06:28.960 You know, the stories all say he's back running it now.

01:06:31.360 So...

01:06:31.800 Look.

01:06:34.780 As far as the radio show, though, no idea.

01:06:36.940 Yeah.

01:06:37.520 No idea.

01:06:38.500 So I don't know anything about whether he wins or loses an audience there.

01:06:42.160 I mean, maybe that's why.

01:06:42.400 And maybe he realized, look, you know, if you want to go that direction, maybe you use that

01:06:47.660 in the direction of how he was, you know, playing nice, nice later yesterday, late last night

01:06:53.080 with Donald Trump, realizing, you know, if I go on my radio show and I've been a Trump

01:06:58.460 guy all this time, now all these Trump people are going to be coming...

01:07:00.540 They'll turn on him.

01:07:01.080 They'll turn on him fast.

01:07:02.460 Yeah.

01:07:02.760 That's a good point.

01:07:03.460 Jake in Utah.

01:07:04.820 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:05.860 Hi.

01:07:07.000 Hey, guys.

01:07:07.600 How you doing?

01:07:08.180 Doing good.

01:07:09.820 Hey, my comment was, well, it's Utah-fornia.

01:07:12.820 I was telling your screener that.

01:07:14.040 It's...

01:07:14.400 You lived in Utah.

01:07:15.480 This is slowly turning into California.

01:07:17.880 It's awful.

01:07:19.080 But anyway, to the point, Warren Hatch, I'm no fan of his.

01:07:23.720 Me neither.

01:07:24.720 I'm no fan of Romney either.

01:07:27.040 And living in Utah, I've seen, I was contracted and did work on a home in Park City for a gentleman

01:07:33.820 that bought the home from Mitt.

01:07:35.620 It was probably, you know, well, I won't get into what the home value was, but it was...

01:07:39.580 A couple bucks.

01:07:40.180 Nothing less than...

01:07:41.080 Yeah, nothing less than ridiculous.

01:07:42.560 But, you know, you just generally get the feeling that he can just buy his way into this, you know,

01:07:49.700 into this seat.

01:07:50.620 And it's frustrating because, you know, we just don't...

01:07:54.380 It doesn't seem like we're getting the option to pick who we want to represent.

01:07:58.020 I mean, I don't think Romney's actually officially announced, though, has he?

01:08:01.000 So we're just speculating that he's going to run for Hatch's vacated seat.

01:08:05.560 But who would...

01:08:06.120 I mean, that's everything you hear in the news here.

01:08:08.020 Everybody just expects it.

01:08:09.420 Is there somebody you have in mind that would be a better choice?

01:08:13.580 I don't know if Mike Lee has a brother.

01:08:19.260 Hey, one other question.

01:08:20.640 I wanted to ask Jeffy, how do you waltz through life so freely with no shame?

01:08:31.060 Thanks, Jake.

01:08:31.760 I was kind of on your side for the whole Utah-Fornia thing.

01:08:35.240 I thought that was going to go in a good direction for you, but...

01:08:37.480 I know.

01:08:37.820 No.

01:08:38.600 You can't have that.

01:08:42.040 Glenn Beck.

01:08:49.740 Glenn Beck.

01:08:51.300 With Pat Gray and Jeffy.

01:08:53.300 Immediately following this broadcast, make sure you tune in for my show, Pat Gray Unleashed,

01:08:57.960 on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.

01:08:59.980 Is that every day?

01:09:00.640 Every...

01:09:01.360 Well, Monday through Friday, yes.

01:09:02.780 Really?

01:09:03.320 Every day, Monday through Friday.

01:09:04.600 Oh, tomorrow we've got kind of a special by popular demand show coming back on Pat Gray Unleashed.

01:09:10.660 We...

01:09:11.180 Right before the Christmas break, we did a show of the best audio clips of the year and past

01:09:18.640 years, and heard a lot of good things about it.

01:09:22.100 So we're bringing that back tomorrow on Pat Gray Unleashed.

01:09:25.520 We took some requests.

01:09:26.560 It was really a fun, good show.

01:09:28.260 Yeah, it was fun.

01:09:28.660 You know, Mike in Utah made a good point, though, and I will cut...

01:09:31.380 You know, I know he had to get his little stick in on me.

01:09:33.120 It's okay.

01:09:33.600 But before he...

01:09:34.340 I wanted to say before he left that, you know, he makes a good point about not being

01:09:39.500 able to really choose.

01:09:41.100 You know, Oren Hatch says goodbye, annoyance Mitt, Mitt walks into the office.

01:09:46.120 Doesn't have to be that way.

01:09:47.000 People still have the right to vote for whomever they want.

01:09:49.680 Right, but who's going to...

01:09:50.520 But who's going to run?

01:09:52.240 It's sad that we're that kind of sheep.

01:09:53.960 I know.

01:09:54.560 That we're lemmings.

01:09:55.380 I know.

01:09:56.400 Let's step out on our own and go a different way.

01:09:58.800 It's not a binary choice.

01:10:00.000 It doesn't have to be.

01:10:00.680 I know.

01:10:01.520 That's...

01:10:01.960 And that sounds good.

01:10:02.840 We need to stop going along with that flow.

01:10:06.980 And that's all we heard during the campaign.

01:10:08.460 It's a binary choice.

01:10:09.220 Got to vote for either Trump or Hillary.

01:10:12.020 I don't like either one of them.

01:10:13.280 Nope.

01:10:13.580 Sorry.

01:10:13.840 You got to choose.

01:10:15.040 I don't want to.

01:10:16.860 Sorry.

01:10:17.360 You have to choose.

01:10:18.400 Binary choice.

01:10:19.540 No.

01:10:21.120 If we stopped accepting it, it would change, wouldn't it?

01:10:27.200 You would hope.

01:10:27.740 If we stopped accepting it.

01:10:29.900 Sharon in Mississippi.

01:10:31.900 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:10:33.340 Hi.

01:10:34.160 Good morning, gentlemen.

01:10:35.460 Hi.

01:10:36.100 I happen to think that Donald Trump decided to run for president, and he decided to win

01:10:42.100 a long time before anybody.

01:10:44.100 I saw a large segment of the Washington Correspondents' Dinner, where Obama had invited Trump and Melania

01:10:53.820 to come to that dinner.

01:10:55.240 And then they spent the whole two hours, Obama and all the comedians, roasting Trump.

01:10:59.920 Right.

01:11:00.680 And if you saw his face...

01:11:01.540 Yeah, he was really pissed.

01:11:03.000 Yeah.

01:11:03.700 If you were watching his face, as the hour went on, by the end of it, he was clenching

01:11:08.380 his jaw and nodding his head.

01:11:10.200 Yeah.

01:11:10.340 He didn't like...

01:11:10.840 He was very upset.

01:11:12.800 Right.

01:11:13.320 And they shouldn't have done that to him.

01:11:15.520 I mean, he was a guest.

01:11:16.840 Right.

01:11:17.220 And, you know, and the first person that told Donald Trump that if he ever ran for president,

01:11:23.140 he would win and she would vote for him was Pat Nixon.

01:11:26.480 Oh, wow.

01:11:27.520 Pat Nixon told him that way back after they left the White House.

01:11:30.980 It had to have been like the 80s.

01:11:32.480 Would have had to have been a long time ago.

01:11:34.300 Thanks, Sharon.

01:11:37.700 Glenn Beck.

01:11:43.320 Love.

01:11:46.840 Courage.

01:11:48.280 Truth.

01:11:49.560 Glenn Beck.

01:11:50.520 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn all this week.

01:11:53.180 888-727-BECK.

01:11:55.900 Something I've noticed lately.

01:11:57.020 First of all, Hoda Kotb is everywhere.

01:11:59.320 You can't get away from her anymore.

01:12:00.640 Hoda is NBC now.

01:12:01.880 She is.

01:12:02.440 Every time I turn on NBC, there's Hoda.

01:12:04.940 She's, of course, she's the replacement for Matt Lauer.

01:12:09.820 And so they've got her on that show.

01:12:12.440 And she's still doing the Hoda and Kathy Lee or Kathy Lee and Hoda show or whatever you call that.

01:12:16.300 I guess because it looks like Kathy Lee's off.

01:12:18.440 And Laura Bush.

01:12:19.740 Not Laura Bush.

01:12:20.860 Jenna Bush.

01:12:21.640 Who looks a lot like Laura.

01:12:22.160 Jenna Bush, the daughter, is on NBC a lot now, too.

01:12:25.900 She's on the morning show as well as this one, too.

01:12:29.320 Maybe she's just filling in for Kathy Lee today.

01:12:31.480 I'm not sure.

01:12:31.920 I guess.

01:12:32.160 I'm not sure.

01:12:32.680 I mean, it's but so it's it's fun to see Jenna on NBC.

01:12:36.460 That seems like a weird match, doesn't it?

01:12:40.540 Unless Jenna's liberal and I don't really know her politics.

01:12:43.880 Yeah.

01:12:44.120 You know, the last time I talked to Jenna.

01:12:46.520 But Jenna, my daughter, is on.

01:12:50.180 She's I just saw her on the magic box in my living room where because she's not actually

01:12:59.400 in the house, but I can see her anyway on this magic box from somewhere else.

01:13:05.300 I'm in my house.

01:13:06.100 So here I am in Texas.

01:13:10.680 She's not there, but I can see her anyway on the on the magic box.

01:13:15.200 Triple eight, seven, two, seven back.

01:13:19.420 We've been talking a lot about the the Trump ban.

01:13:22.580 It seems to be what's on everybody's mind.

01:13:25.240 Well, it's interesting.

01:13:25.940 It's going to be a sad divorce.

01:13:27.440 Right.

01:13:28.540 It sure is.

01:13:29.200 It's going to be a sad divorce.

01:13:30.420 It is.

01:13:30.760 Who's going to get custody of, say, Michael Savage?

01:13:35.240 Who's it?

01:13:35.880 Will it be?

01:13:37.140 You know, because he's such a favored child of both of them.

01:13:41.480 It's going to be sad to see one of them part with Michael.

01:13:45.240 I know it's going to be.

01:13:47.400 It's heartbreaking, you know, to see these kinds of divorces happen and what that does

01:13:50.840 to the kids.

01:13:51.600 Most of the time, Michael, most of the time, children are resilient.

01:13:54.620 But yeah, you never know.

01:13:55.940 You never know.

01:13:56.860 So we wish him well.

01:13:58.100 We do not really know because they certainly don't.

01:14:05.780 They certainly he doesn't reciprocate.

01:14:07.540 I'll tell you that.

01:14:09.320 Anyway, we're going to talk about this sometime during the course of the day.

01:14:12.480 This 10 year old founder of a drag club for kids.

01:14:15.360 It's about time.

01:14:16.880 You know, if there's one thing I think we all felt like was missing in America, it was

01:14:22.220 a drag club for kids.

01:14:23.140 Is this the one in Canada?

01:14:24.100 Is this the kid in Canada?

01:14:25.540 With the parents?

01:14:26.460 I mean.

01:14:26.640 No, it's in New York City.

01:14:29.000 Oh, OK, good.

01:14:30.000 Yeah.

01:14:31.120 I'm glad it's here in the States.

01:14:32.560 Let's go.

01:14:33.040 From Brooklyn.

01:14:33.680 This could be a number two.

01:14:34.860 Yeah.

01:14:35.140 His name is Desmond Napoles, but he's better known by his drag name.

01:14:41.380 Desmond is amazing.

01:14:42.580 I got to see if this is the kid I know because there was a there's a couple of them that are

01:14:45.800 pretty strong young drag kids.

01:14:48.860 Really?

01:14:49.240 Yeah.

01:14:49.600 I mean, they perform and they do a really good job.

01:14:52.080 Seems like this kid does.

01:14:53.000 Yeah.

01:14:53.380 Yeah, he does.

01:14:54.200 Also, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rescinding the Obama era policy that kind of paved the

01:15:00.520 way for all of these legalized marijuana states to be left alone and let them flourish.

01:15:06.220 Let them do their own thing.

01:15:07.240 Despite the fact it's against federal law.

01:15:09.560 We're just going to we're going to ignore it.

01:15:11.840 He is apparently according to people familiar with the plan.

01:15:17.360 And he's about to change that good luck and maybe go after these states.

01:15:21.760 Good luck with that.

01:15:22.620 It's going to be interesting.

01:15:23.580 Mr.

01:15:23.840 Sessions, Mr.

01:15:24.800 Attorney General.

01:15:25.420 Very, very interesting.

01:15:26.460 I'll find that.

01:15:28.180 I mean, he may do it.

01:15:30.120 Good luck making it happen.

01:15:31.820 Not sure what the state's rights outcome would be on that.

01:15:35.440 You know, the 10th Amendment.

01:15:36.560 I don't know.

01:15:37.640 We'll see.

01:15:38.520 We'll see if, in fact, as is widely thought, federal law kind of supersedes the state law.

01:15:44.060 I understand that.

01:15:44.840 But we've gone.

01:15:45.760 We were way down that road, my friend.

01:15:48.380 Yeah, we are.

01:15:48.920 I mean, we're still sanctuary cities.

01:15:50.580 Right.

01:15:51.280 And we're still the sanctuary cities.

01:15:53.140 Everybody's trying to walk that fine line to still keep their funding, even though I

01:15:57.500 think a judge already said that they couldn't cut the funding to the sanctuary cities.

01:16:01.200 Right.

01:16:01.600 That's what Trump wanted to do.

01:16:02.820 And I think a judge already said, no, you're not going to cut the funding to the cities.

01:16:07.380 So that's out the window, at least for now, unless they want to go up against, you know,

01:16:11.320 take it to court again.

01:16:12.940 But a lot of these cities that are afraid of that are saying, especially, I don't know,

01:16:17.500 one that I'm familiar with, I don't know, Dallas, where the mayor says that we're not

01:16:22.340 a sanctuary city.

01:16:23.820 Yeah.

01:16:24.460 He says we're not a sanctuary city, but everything that they do makes them a sanctuary city.

01:16:30.760 Yes.

01:16:31.160 You know, he says it.

01:16:32.440 Yeah.

01:16:32.700 So then it's like, what are you talking about?

01:16:34.740 Yeah.

01:16:34.900 Because they don't want to lose their federal funding.

01:16:36.800 Obviously.

01:16:37.980 Tanya in Iowa.

01:16:39.520 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:16:42.840 Hi, Stu and Doc.

01:16:45.220 Thanks, Tanya.

01:16:46.080 Appreciate that.

01:16:47.140 Wow.

01:16:47.820 You know, I just had to call and say, I'm just a little bit irritated with, I guess,

01:16:54.680 your little bit of a change of attitude since the Christmas break.

01:16:58.580 And I don't know whether it's a vibe I am wrong on, but I feel like since Christmas break.

01:17:03.660 What is my change of attitude since Christmas?

01:17:05.480 I don't know.

01:17:06.060 I feel like you've really embraced kind of Trump as a person and not differentiated between

01:17:14.400 what maybe his administration has done and who he is.

01:17:18.640 I remember a Facebook post from you in the fall before the election, and it was fantastic,

01:17:22.900 talking about how character matters.

01:17:24.600 Oh, yeah.

01:17:24.980 How he's not the real champion for the unborn.

01:17:27.240 Yes.

01:17:27.780 You know, I was so impressed by that.

01:17:29.460 I just feel like your tone has changed a bit and was wondering if you would vote, if the

01:17:33.960 election was held tomorrow, would you vote for Trump based on this past year?

01:17:38.560 Same candidates.

01:17:39.740 Who's running against him?

01:17:41.660 Same candidates.

01:17:42.660 The same Republican candidates or it's Trump and Hillary?

01:17:46.760 Same ticket as there was on Election Day.

01:17:51.500 On the day that we all voted.

01:17:53.240 Who's the third party candidate?

01:17:54.660 I see there's too many variables, but probably not because my attitude certainly hasn't changed

01:18:03.700 on character matters.

01:18:04.880 Obviously, that's important to me.

01:18:07.600 What we have said since the election is we're going to give him a chance to see what he does

01:18:13.120 as president.

01:18:14.840 Show us.

01:18:16.360 Maybe we'll be wrong.

01:18:17.820 And as far as his policies and some of the things he's accomplished, I think he's pleasantly

01:18:24.720 surprised me.

01:18:26.020 Which we have said.

01:18:28.200 Yeah.

01:18:28.540 I stand by all the character issues.

01:18:30.480 And the post really was, I don't remember exactly when that was, whether it was before

01:18:35.020 the nomination of Donald Trump or after.

01:18:37.600 Oh, yeah.

01:18:37.840 Right.

01:18:38.260 You're talking about before.

01:18:40.320 Right.

01:18:40.560 Before Election Day, but after the Republican.

01:18:43.940 Yes.

01:18:44.120 Yeah.

01:18:44.460 Yeah.

01:18:44.660 Yeah.

01:18:44.960 I mean, those were, those were, those were tough times.

01:18:48.320 Yes.

01:18:48.880 But when you talk about his Supreme Court nomination.

01:18:51.580 He was supposed to be able to.

01:18:51.960 Yeah.

01:18:52.240 Yeah.

01:18:52.360 Do that.

01:18:52.740 We were supposed to be able to do that then.

01:18:55.040 What, I mean, what, what are your impressions of the Trump administration so far?

01:19:02.120 My impression, I'm, I'll give him credit when credit is due, but I think you need to be

01:19:06.960 very careful as to not to give the man Trump the credit because I don't think his character

01:19:13.620 follows to the success of the policies that you are pleased with.

01:19:18.280 I think it may be more of an administration.

01:19:20.740 I just, we need to be careful to give Trump too much credit because I think he's going

01:19:24.680 to change the face of the conservative party.

01:19:27.460 Oh, yeah.

01:19:28.300 That's already, that's already done.

01:19:29.920 Yeah.

01:19:30.280 And I certainly don't support that.

01:19:32.100 What I do support is his Supreme Court nomination, the EPA regulations he's overturned, getting

01:19:38.940 out of, getting us out of the Paris Accord, the TPP treaty, giving state lands back to states

01:19:45.680 like Utah, huge gains in the war on ISIS, giving a pay raise to the troops.

01:19:52.220 He's declared Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

01:19:54.120 He's going to move the embassy.

01:19:55.520 Those are things I absolutely agree with.

01:19:57.900 Now, as far as his tweets, and we've, we've continued to talk about the fact that his tweets,

01:20:02.100 got to stop.

01:20:03.380 He's just got to stop.

01:20:04.300 And they're not going to.

01:20:05.640 And so.

01:20:06.580 But that's kind of where, where, where Tanya's coming from, right, though, is that, you know,

01:20:10.320 he's, we're giving credit to, you know, the man instead of the administration.

01:20:14.940 But he's the head of the administration.

01:20:16.540 I mean, he's the guy.

01:20:17.480 Yeah.

01:20:17.860 I mean, Trump is, he's actually done these things.

01:20:20.040 Is he the guy, or is he the guy, or is he just appointed people that are really doing

01:20:24.120 what he likes with politics?

01:20:25.200 But it doesn't matter, right?

01:20:26.320 I mean, that's the point.

01:20:26.680 I don't know.

01:20:27.120 But the policies I like, but you're right.

01:20:28.660 I mean, I, I have not changed in my, in my belief that he wasn't the best man for this

01:20:34.660 job.

01:20:35.020 I mean, that'll never change.

01:20:36.220 Okay.

01:20:37.080 And, and would I vote for a similar person under similar circumstances?

01:20:41.220 Absolutely not.

01:20:42.580 Would I vote for him against Hillary?

01:20:44.440 Only if there were only, that was the only, if it really was a binary choice, I would make

01:20:49.640 that choice.

01:20:50.160 But if there's anybody else, if there's anybody else, if no, because I think it's my duty

01:20:56.360 as an American to vote.

01:20:58.180 And so, uh, if there was a third party choice that I liked, I would absolutely go third party

01:21:06.000 again, just as I did last time.

01:21:08.260 And everything fell in place for Donald Trump.

01:21:11.120 Speaking of that, cause the third party, we had hoped for, um, a better choice.

01:21:15.720 Yeah.

01:21:16.160 But what I would, what I would say though, Tanya is my attitude today doesn't reflect

01:21:22.540 the character of Donald Trump.

01:21:24.380 It's, it's the concrete policies you can put your finger on.

01:21:29.660 Okay.

01:21:30.180 I do agree with that.

01:21:31.020 I'm glad to hear that.

01:21:31.960 I was getting nervous.

01:21:32.740 You guys.

01:21:33.460 No, absolutely not.

01:21:34.220 We haven't changed in that way.

01:21:35.520 Appreciate it.

01:21:36.080 Thanks for the call.

01:21:37.400 Um, but yeah, hold our feet to the fire.

01:21:39.900 I, I, we try to be consistent and, and that's what we said as soon as I think the election

01:21:45.100 was on November 8th, was it?

01:21:46.940 And on November 9th, we said, okay, he, he won.

01:21:49.800 Let's see what he does.

01:21:50.640 Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

01:21:52.340 I mean, when we were taking such heat was because of the, uh, the primaries, right?

01:21:57.800 Because we, we did, we wanted to step up against the primaries and vote for the person

01:22:02.300 who we thought was the best.

01:22:04.100 And then what brought this all on, of course, as we were talking earlier today about, could

01:22:08.320 any of them stand up today and run for president?

01:22:11.860 And I say, no, not a chance.

01:22:15.080 Uh, Donald Trump has burned and scorched that group forever.

01:22:19.100 And not that that is a good thing to us.

01:22:21.700 No, no, no.

01:22:22.420 I didn't know.

01:22:23.100 Oh my gosh.

01:22:24.020 So if you're, if you're misconstruing the fact that we're saying that these candidates

01:22:28.080 are tainted by Trump, uh, that is not, that's not an endorsement of doing that to these

01:22:34.740 guys because I, I'd love to have a guy like Ted Cruz to vote for again.

01:22:38.620 Uh, yes.

01:22:39.200 I mean, he was, I think we made it pretty clear.

01:22:42.300 He was almost the ideal candidate.

01:22:44.100 I thought he was a better candidate than Ronald Reagan.

01:22:48.180 And I stand by that.

01:22:49.500 I mean, he was no Jim Gilmore, but no, but who is?

01:22:52.800 Thank you.

01:22:53.340 Only Jim Gilmore himself.

01:22:55.040 Thank you.

01:22:55.700 And we haven't changed on that either.

01:22:57.220 No, we have.

01:22:58.240 No, we have not.

01:23:00.440 Cliff in North Carolina.

01:23:01.940 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:23:03.080 Hi.

01:23:03.940 Hey, Pat and Jeff.

01:23:05.500 How are you guys doing?

01:23:06.560 Doing good.

01:23:06.880 Um, I really like what Trump's been doing so far, but I think if Ben Carson had been

01:23:12.920 true to his principles, Ted Cruz would be the president.

01:23:17.140 Thank you.

01:23:17.860 You know, you're the second person today that brought that up.

01:23:20.100 And that's a really good point.

01:23:21.880 I'd forgotten about the Ben Carson stuff.

01:23:23.880 I know.

01:23:24.280 That's where Trump took off on the lion Ted thing, right?

01:23:27.860 Exactly.

01:23:28.560 Yeah.

01:23:28.680 And Ben knew that Cruz was not responsible for that CNN.

01:23:34.000 Yes, he did.

01:23:34.880 Absolutely.

01:23:35.340 He did.

01:23:36.060 And he sided with Trump, who was further away from his attitude and position and character

01:23:40.860 than was Cruz.

01:23:41.980 That's for sure.

01:23:42.840 And if he had sided with Cruz instead, because Cruz is catching up.

01:23:47.460 Yeah.

01:23:48.160 No, you're right.

01:23:49.200 Uh, there, there's a lot to be said for that.

01:23:51.280 Yes, there is.

01:23:51.940 That Ben Carson is at least as responsible as Donald Trump for the fact that that campaign

01:24:00.320 didn't work out.

01:24:00.980 And it didn't work out for Ben really either.

01:24:02.940 I mean, after that, after he played along, then Trump just destroyed him.

01:24:07.180 I mean, he threw him a bone and gave him a job.

01:24:09.220 Yeah.

01:24:09.640 Right.

01:24:09.980 After.

01:24:10.420 So, I mean, thanks for playing along, but I mean, he destroyed him along the way.

01:24:13.440 Amazing.

01:24:13.840 Yeah.

01:24:13.980 I'd forgotten about the Ben Carson situation.

01:24:15.700 I know.

01:24:16.000 I have too.

01:24:16.960 It's 888-727-BECK.

01:24:21.940 Glenn Beck.

01:24:29.620 Glenn Beck.

01:24:31.000 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.

01:24:32.260 He'll be back on Monday morning.

01:24:33.420 888-727-BECK.

01:24:36.120 Uh, the Bannon-Trump battle.

01:24:39.000 Fascinating.

01:24:40.400 Uh, especially since the book hasn't even come out.

01:24:42.600 We're just hearing excerpts, uh, about what Bannon apparently said in the book.

01:24:47.660 Kind of backed up, uh, in part by one of Donald Trump's former advisors, uh, Sam, um, the Noonan.

01:24:59.060 He, he was, he was, uh, interviewed yesterday by Essie Cupp and basically said some of the quotes weren't right, but the tone and the general feeling.

01:25:09.660 Yeah, the overall gist of it was right.

01:25:11.220 Was, was true.

01:25:12.880 So, I, I'm kind of excited to see what comes out of this book.

01:25:16.400 It'll be fun.

01:25:16.820 And what comes out of this battle.

01:25:18.880 Uh, and again, I, in this divorce between, between, uh, Trump and Bannon, who gets custody of the kids.

01:25:25.920 I know.

01:25:26.220 Like Michael Savage.

01:25:27.440 I know.

01:25:28.020 I don't, man.

01:25:29.440 It's frightening.

01:25:30.260 It's tough.

01:25:31.040 That's a, it's a war of the roses, man.

01:25:33.140 It's going to be another battle between them.

01:25:34.640 I know.

01:25:34.660 I'm sure.

01:25:35.400 I know.

01:25:35.940 But you know what, Pat?

01:25:36.680 It's not going to matter.

01:25:37.720 I don't care.

01:25:38.340 It's not going to matter?

01:25:38.860 Nope.

01:25:39.600 Why?

01:25:39.900 Because I'm winning the $550 million lotto on Saturday for the Powerball.

01:25:43.740 Wow.

01:25:43.960 It's up to 550 now?

01:25:45.040 Well, that's, that's right now.

01:25:46.240 It'd be at least 550 million on Saturday.

01:25:48.940 Well, you said the Powerball twice before during the course of this week.

01:25:53.360 Well, you don't want to win when it's so small.

01:25:56.640 Yeah.

01:25:57.000 You don't want to settle for 428 million.

01:25:59.020 I mean, well, excuse me.

01:26:00.260 Mega.

01:26:00.860 Mega is Friday and that's only 418.

01:26:03.720 Not even worth bothering with yet.

01:26:05.300 Barely.

01:26:05.660 Do I get a ticket?

01:26:06.960 No.

01:26:07.200 I doubt it.

01:26:07.680 No.

01:26:08.000 But 550 for Saturday with...

01:26:10.320 You'll consider that?

01:26:11.040 I'm doing that.

01:26:11.980 I'm doing that.

01:26:12.640 Yeah.

01:26:13.320 Well, when you get to 500 million, you're starting to talk about real money.

01:26:17.360 Right.

01:26:17.840 The cash value for that is $348 million.

01:26:20.720 Now, that may, you know, I might be able to live on that.

01:26:24.780 So, the cash value is what?

01:26:26.060 Generally about 60%?

01:26:28.080 Something like that.

01:26:28.780 Yeah, between 50 and 60.

01:26:29.460 And then you're going to get another 45 taken out with state and federal tax.

01:26:33.980 Yeah.

01:26:34.380 Yeah.

01:26:35.660 Right.

01:26:35.980 So, now you're down to, you know...

01:26:38.060 Holy cow.

01:26:38.620 I don't even want to play the 550 now.

01:26:39.880 I've got to wait for it to get up to a billion.

01:26:41.520 Yes.

01:26:44.780 Not even worth...

01:26:45.400 Why are you bringing me down?

01:26:46.520 Not even worth looking at.

01:26:47.840 Shoot.

01:26:49.280 There's another gender studies professor who is trying to make a splash by saying that...

01:26:55.620 Yep.

01:26:56.480 ...that Disney princesses in Sleeping Beauty and Snow White were sexually assaulted.

01:27:03.920 The princes in those Disney movies are sex offenders.

01:27:07.800 Kazoo Muda, professor at Osaka University.

01:27:10.520 I love Osaka University, by the way.

01:27:12.520 Oh, well, who doesn't?

01:27:13.560 I get their weekly newsletter.

01:27:15.040 Yeah.

01:27:15.720 I bet it's good.

01:27:16.480 Oh.

01:27:17.200 I love their football team.

01:27:19.260 The Osaka Generals?

01:27:20.680 Unbeaten.

01:27:21.200 Good.

01:27:21.600 They're unbeaten.

01:27:23.760 He claims that two Disney movies portray obscene sexual acts on unconscious partners charged

01:27:32.220 that it was sexual violence.

01:27:34.500 Oh, man.

01:27:35.520 Right.

01:27:35.700 He said, when you think rationally about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, the tell of a princess

01:27:39.920 being woken up by the kiss of a prince, they're describing sexual assault on an unconscious

01:27:45.240 person.

01:27:46.300 You might think I'm ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are promoting sexual

01:27:50.560 violence and I would like to see everyone be aware of it.

01:27:55.340 Okay.

01:27:55.840 We've officially crossed the line into absolute, total, and complete civilization insanity.

01:28:04.160 Can we stop with this stuff?

01:28:08.280 I mean...

01:28:08.640 And of course, the answer is no, we can't.

01:28:10.120 No, we're not going to.

01:28:11.040 We're not going to.

01:28:12.220 They're going to absolutely ruin everything.

01:28:14.440 They have to.

01:28:15.300 Jeff in Pennsylvania.

01:28:16.920 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:28:18.400 Hi.

01:28:19.680 Yes.

01:28:20.100 Hi, guys.

01:28:20.560 Thanks for taking my call.

01:28:21.940 Long-time listener here.

01:28:23.080 First-time caller.

01:28:23.740 I just disagreed with Tonya, the one caller, in regards to character about President Trump.

01:28:29.440 Yeah.

01:28:30.240 And you guys, too, I've listened to for a long time and was disappointed that you really

01:28:34.780 didn't support him when he was running for office.

01:28:37.180 I know over the years you said we had to hold our nose and pick Romney.

01:28:40.540 We had to vote for Romney.

01:28:41.600 We had to vote for McCain.

01:28:43.940 And, you know, obviously Trump has done a much better job since he's been in office being

01:28:48.660 a conservative than either one of those two guys.

01:28:50.500 And as far as character goes, look at all the stuff that's coming out with Gloria Allred

01:28:54.520 and her daughter and trying to pay people to smear these candidates and smear people

01:28:59.880 that are running for office.

01:29:01.200 It hasn't been found not to be true.

01:29:03.240 You look at the FBI and the CIA and the corruption that's going on there.

01:29:07.120 I think Trump's character, compared to a lot of these other organizations and people

01:29:11.860 within these organizations who are sending out tweets in favor of Hillary Clinton, this

01:29:15.560 struck guy, and some of these other people, his character is much higher than theirs.

01:29:19.160 He has much more character than they have.

01:29:21.620 And I don't mind his tweets at all.

01:29:22.780 I think they're funny in a lot of ways.

01:29:24.460 And I think they go directly to the American people.

01:29:27.220 And I think they say what needs to be said.

01:29:29.840 Yeah.

01:29:31.620 It's just an interesting tactic for the president of the United States to take.

01:29:36.060 And we've just generally, I think, considered that office above that type of thing.

01:29:40.880 So it's just a different way of doing things.

01:29:43.180 That's for sure.

01:29:44.740 Right.

01:29:45.040 Different way.

01:29:45.720 And I know he wasn't my first candidate.

01:29:48.180 I would have supported Ted Cruz.

01:29:50.120 I like Ted Cruz.

01:29:51.280 And probably I had another one before Trump.

01:29:54.600 But since he's been in office, he's done more to help the conservative party than the

01:29:58.820 conservatives who are supposedly in the party.

01:30:00.940 Yeah.

01:30:01.080 A lot of these rhino conservatives, terrible.

01:30:04.020 And it's hard to argue with that.

01:30:06.640 It's actually hard to argue with that.

01:30:09.140 I know.

01:30:09.880 And so that, and Tonya was trying to tie character to that, and obviously he sounded like she

01:30:13.420 wasn't a Trump supporter or a never-Trump type person.

01:30:16.800 And I think a lot of that character goes, he's done a lot himself personally with the

01:30:22.120 executive actions and the pipeline, the Gorsuch pick that you guys talked about, and a lot

01:30:29.760 of other things that he's done that I think go to character.

01:30:33.920 I mean, somebody with character would make those decisions.

01:30:36.980 The Paris Accord, and a lot of the things that he's done to reverse a lot of the things

01:30:40.960 that Obama put in place to get the economy stimulated and going.

01:30:44.920 Right.

01:30:46.000 It's hard to argue with any of that.

01:30:47.120 It's a good case.

01:30:48.040 Yeah.

01:30:48.340 Appreciate it, Jeff.

01:30:49.040 Thanks a lot.

01:30:49.720 888-727-BECK.

01:30:52.040 Pat and Jeff, for Glenn, on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:54.820 Glenn Beck.

01:31:20.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:31:22.780 With Pat and Jeffy.

01:31:23.740 You get that in your head all day.

01:31:24.600 That's some happy music there that's going to be stuck in your head forever, because

01:31:28.640 wow, that's catchy.

01:31:31.400 888-727-BECK.

01:31:34.560 Meryl Streep, in the wake of all this sexual harassment stuff, and especially as it concerns

01:31:41.180 Dustin Hoffman, she's speaking out about her experience with him.

01:31:44.360 In 1979, when they filmed Kramer vs. Kramer, which I think won for the best picture in 79.

01:31:51.400 They might even have won Oscars for that movie.

01:31:53.240 Yeah, apparently he slapped her during a scene, and I don't know if it was called for in the

01:31:58.600 script or if he just improvised that, but it stuck, and it was in the movie.

01:32:03.800 And she says that he stepped over the line there.

01:32:08.440 Oh, God.

01:32:08.760 When you're an actor, it's tricky when it comes to shooting scenes because you have to feel free.

01:32:13.300 I'm sure that I've inadvertently hurt people in physical scenes, but there's a certain amount of forgiveness in that.

01:32:18.700 On the first day, on the set of Kramer vs. Kramer, he slapped her, and she said that was overstepping.

01:32:28.740 So I guess she's confirming here that because of that, Dustin Hoffman is a dirtbag.

01:32:35.620 Then she goes on to talk about Harvey Weinstein.

01:32:41.020 Everybody in Hollywood knows about Harvey Weinstein.

01:32:43.960 Absolutely.

01:32:44.560 It was so bad that, what's his face?

01:32:47.340 Seth MacFarlane put it in one of his episodes of one of his shows.

01:32:50.500 Same with Kevin Spacey.

01:32:52.740 And are you telling me Seth MacFarlane knows more about Harvey Weinstein than Meryl Streep does?

01:32:59.020 The queen of Hollywood?

01:33:00.480 Yeah, well, there is, you know, one of the things, no.

01:33:02.520 And she claims ignorance here.

01:33:04.580 Well, there were rumors, of course, but I dismissed them.

01:33:08.000 She's falling on that just like everyone else that was inside with Harvey that said,

01:33:12.340 look, we all knew he was a dirtbag, which I kind of buy a little bit.

01:33:15.660 We all know he's a dirtbag.

01:33:17.380 It was Harvey.

01:33:18.240 He was always like that.

01:33:19.340 He was a jerk to people.

01:33:20.580 But we didn't know that he'd gone that far.

01:33:23.260 Yeah.

01:33:23.480 She says, I didn't know that he was in any way of using people.

01:33:25.980 And that's their out.

01:33:26.400 Right.

01:33:26.660 That's their out.

01:33:27.400 He never asked me to a hotel room.

01:33:29.360 Yeah, I bet he didn't.

01:33:30.220 Yeah, no kidding.

01:33:30.840 That should tell you something, Meryl.

01:33:32.080 Why would anybody ask Meryl Streep to a hotel room?

01:33:35.300 Why do they even want her in movies?

01:33:37.280 You wouldn't.

01:33:39.500 But she says, I don't know how his life was conducted without people intimately knowing about it.

01:33:43.880 Right.

01:33:44.120 Like you, Meryl.

01:33:45.100 However, however, when it comes down to it, Streep doesn't want to hear about her silence.

01:33:52.280 She doesn't want to hear about it.

01:33:54.100 She says, I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump.

01:33:58.500 Are you kidding me?

01:34:01.600 I want to hear from her.

01:34:03.580 She has so much that's valuable to say.

01:34:05.880 And so does Ivanka.

01:34:07.080 I want to hear them speak now.

01:34:09.540 About what?

01:34:10.440 Okay, so you're there's allegations against the father and husband, the allegations that

01:34:17.620 are unproven, just like with Harvey Weinstein.

01:34:19.680 Right.

01:34:20.140 And everybody's talking about it.

01:34:21.340 We've actually heard him say things like on that tape with Bush that are despicable.

01:34:26.740 And there's no question about it.

01:34:28.000 And we just heard from a woman in Iowa who's wondering about the tone today.

01:34:33.260 Well, we haven't been talking about his character, but when it comes to that, yeah, that's despicable

01:34:37.840 what he said to Billy Bush.

01:34:40.200 And, and, you know, he has that, uh, he had that, uh, he had that opinion that he, as

01:34:46.360 a celebrity could do what he wanted to women.

01:34:48.600 And that's wrong.

01:34:49.700 Whether he actually acted on it.

01:34:51.580 I don't know.

01:34:52.180 I don't know.

01:34:53.080 But there's certainly rumors and there are certainly people who have accused him.

01:34:56.140 Now you're, so you're exonerating yourself from all the Harvey Weinstein stuff.

01:35:02.380 Absolutely she is.

01:35:03.040 But now you're jumping into this because of politics.

01:35:05.580 Yes, absolutely.

01:35:06.700 That's despicable.

01:35:08.000 Well, she is, that is despicable and pathetic is maybe, but, but listen, I'm gonna tell you

01:35:12.240 something right now, Pat, I bet you that she's going to have the best black dress.

01:35:18.760 Oh, you know, she is at the awards at the golden globes.

01:35:22.680 All the women are wearing black in support of women who've been abused or a statement against

01:35:29.160 abusers or yes.

01:35:32.260 Black is really thinning.

01:35:33.840 Yes.

01:35:34.160 I'm not sure what the statement is, but I mean, hopefully Meryl will have a, I don't

01:35:43.660 know, a 10 or $15,000 Gucci brooch that says hashtag me too.

01:35:48.500 Oh, I mean, 10 or 15,000.

01:35:50.840 That's like, that's cosmetic jewelry to her.

01:35:53.760 That's costume jewelry.

01:35:55.880 It's costume jewelry.

01:35:57.340 She wouldn't bother with 10 or 15,000.

01:35:59.500 I apologize.

01:36:02.240 And can you imagine how agonizing it's going to be bad broadcast is going to be?

01:36:07.940 Oh man.

01:36:08.740 It's going to be, I sadly, I'm going to have to watch it, but it's going to be agonizing.

01:36:13.980 We'll have to watch just to see how much it's going to be agonizing.

01:36:17.640 Yeah.

01:36:18.060 But Kramer versus Kramer.

01:36:19.900 Wow.

01:36:20.660 1980 best picture, best actor in a leading role, best actress, best director, best writing.

01:36:26.900 Wow.

01:36:27.420 Best supporting actor, best actress in a supporting role, best cinematography.

01:36:32.880 Best.

01:36:33.200 I mean, wow.

01:36:33.980 How many awards did it win?

01:36:35.160 Wow.

01:36:35.540 Jeez.

01:36:35.960 It was, it won one, two, three, four, five, five Oscars.

01:36:40.620 It won five.

01:36:41.300 It was nominated for nine or 10.

01:36:44.740 It was a great movie though.

01:36:46.060 Yeah.

01:36:46.520 It was a great movie.

01:36:47.100 I know.

01:36:48.060 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck, Jeremy to Oregon.

01:36:50.840 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:36:52.300 Hi.

01:36:53.740 Hi.

01:36:54.260 Thanks for taking my call.

01:36:55.420 Mm-hmm.

01:36:55.940 I just wanted to ask you guys an opinion.

01:36:57.860 There's a potential Republican candidate that you haven't mentioned.

01:37:01.020 And that is Trey Gowdy.

01:37:03.360 I think that he's been smart enough to kind of stay out of the media unless he's saying

01:37:07.600 something intelligent.

01:37:09.140 Mm-hmm.

01:37:09.420 And I was just curious what you guys thought of that.

01:37:11.100 I like Trey Gowdy and I especially like him at the hearings and, and that's where he

01:37:15.120 shines.

01:37:15.780 Sure is.

01:37:16.240 I doubt he'd ever run because he wouldn't even run against, uh, he wouldn't even run

01:37:20.300 against, uh, Lindsey Graham.

01:37:22.340 Uh, he's, I think he's too establishment Republican to, to, to do that.

01:37:28.500 Well, he proved that right against, cause he wouldn't run against Lindsey.

01:37:30.720 I mean, that was an establishment thing where he was like, no, that's my, that's my homeboy.

01:37:34.200 That's not, I'm staying, I'm staying, leaving that alone.

01:37:36.320 And, uh, also remember that, uh, when we had the chance to vote against, uh, what's his

01:37:41.220 face as speaker, the drunk from Ohio, uh, Boehner, Boehner.

01:37:45.600 Yeah.

01:37:45.940 John Boehner.

01:37:46.440 He wouldn't do that, right?

01:37:47.360 He wouldn't do that either.

01:37:48.340 Yeah.

01:37:48.780 So, I mean, there's some question marks surrounding Trey Gowdy, like where he stands on, on many

01:37:53.620 different issues, which I'm not, I don't, I'm not aware of.

01:37:56.920 Uh, but he seems like he'd be a great candidate.

01:37:59.060 He does.

01:37:59.540 He does.

01:38:00.140 Absolutely.

01:38:00.460 I agree with you on that journey.

01:38:01.720 Most of the time he says a lot of the right things, man.

01:38:03.900 He does.

01:38:04.260 You're going right.

01:38:05.000 Absolutely.

01:38:05.860 Yeah, he does.

01:38:06.480 And I'm guessing as a prosecutor, he didn't lose much.

01:38:10.320 No, he's pretty good at that.

01:38:11.300 I would not want to be against him in the courtroom.

01:38:13.100 Right.

01:38:13.900 Rich in Florida.

01:38:15.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:38:17.920 Yes.

01:38:18.380 Gentlemen, how are you today?

01:38:19.640 Doing good.

01:38:21.180 Hey, I have a theory or a concept for you, if I may.

01:38:24.120 This money that Trump has said, we, President Trump has said, we will hold back.

01:38:30.640 Essentially, if they don't play nice with us, we're not going to play nice with them.

01:38:34.260 So, in turn, let's take that money and build a wall.

01:38:39.600 Well, I'd be okay with that.

01:38:41.560 Okay.

01:38:41.820 Your call should maybe be directed to the White House with that statement.

01:38:45.980 I mean, hold on.

01:38:47.360 Maybe we can batch you in.

01:38:49.940 You know, it's just take an imaginary number of how much money that would be.

01:38:54.980 Let's start with, what's that place?

01:38:57.500 Island of Spice.

01:38:59.380 Let's take that.

01:39:00.420 And how much money are we sending?

01:39:03.480 That's a good point, Rich.

01:39:04.800 I don't know how much, well, let's ask the Island of Spice expert.

01:39:08.820 First of all, how much aid does the Island of Spice, Grenada, receive from the United States?

01:39:14.560 Not enough.

01:39:15.500 Okay?

01:39:16.040 It's never enough, Rich.

01:39:17.400 Thanks, Rich.

01:39:17.800 Appreciate it.

01:39:18.500 Never enough.

01:39:18.920 But I'm ready to just stop foreign aid to countries that stab us in the back at every turn.

01:39:26.440 Maybe that's what he's doing, right?

01:39:27.500 He's cut off two and a half million or billion from the UN.

01:39:33.820 It was 285 million.

01:39:34.940 He's cut off.

01:39:35.940 He's now saying he's not going to give any money to the Palestinians.

01:39:40.060 Possibly.

01:39:40.680 He's not going to give any money to Pakistan.

01:39:43.520 Possibly.

01:39:45.340 Right.

01:39:45.940 Yes.

01:39:46.180 Of course.

01:39:47.300 So, I mean, those are big chunks of money.

01:39:49.520 That could add up and pay for the wall.

01:39:50.940 It sure could.

01:39:51.740 I don't think it'll be handled that way, but that's not a bad idea.

01:39:55.020 Larry in Florida.

01:39:56.660 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:39:57.780 Hi.

01:39:57.860 Hi.

01:39:59.160 Hi.

01:39:59.620 Trump's not going anywhere.

01:40:00.900 He's going to run in 2020 and he'll win in 2020.

01:40:03.520 You think so?

01:40:04.140 Yeah.

01:40:04.940 I mean, if he runs again, he definitely will win.

01:40:07.060 Is there anybody on the Democrat side that you're concerned about that might pose a pretty

01:40:12.160 formidable challenge to him?

01:40:15.120 To be honest, I don't think there's anyone in America, who has not a face or a name in

01:40:19.280 politics or out of politics, I think can beat the man in 2020.

01:40:22.160 I know.

01:40:23.400 I agree with that.

01:40:25.080 You might be right.

01:40:25.660 Especially.

01:40:26.060 Thank you.

01:40:26.840 Thanks.

01:40:27.520 He's a joggernaut.

01:40:28.400 He's a joggernaut.

01:40:29.340 And I will admit I'm biased.

01:40:31.320 I've been a fan and I've been a supporter since the Escalator.

01:40:34.080 Oh, have you?

01:40:35.280 Wow.

01:40:35.760 Oh, yeah.

01:40:36.180 Against all odds.

01:40:37.660 Against my friends.

01:40:38.440 Even against my father, who was a diehard Republican, you know, Reagan Republican, war veteran,

01:40:44.300 and he just thinks I'm crazy.

01:40:45.880 Even today, with Trump's successes, everybody still thinks I'm crazy.

01:40:49.540 Did you listen to us during the campaign, Larry?

01:40:53.180 I'm sorry?

01:40:53.660 Did you listen to the Glenn Beck program during the campaign?

01:40:56.840 Almost every day.

01:40:57.840 I do a lot of windshield time.

01:40:59.340 You must have been pissed off at us.

01:41:02.440 No.

01:41:03.060 No?

01:41:03.780 I just chew on a piece of rope.

01:41:07.020 I keep it in my truck.

01:41:08.180 Mm-hmm.

01:41:09.780 I'm kidding.

01:41:12.740 All right.

01:41:14.020 Thanks a lot.

01:41:14.520 I appreciate the call.

01:41:15.160 I've got some rope I'd like to sell you.

01:41:16.120 Yeah.

01:41:17.260 That's what we were getting at, though, right?

01:41:19.320 He's a juggernaut.

01:41:20.180 Right.

01:41:20.880 And if he runs in 2020, obviously, you know, I don't know that the Democrats have anyone

01:41:27.200 to run against him.

01:41:27.900 No one's going to primary him.

01:41:29.060 Elizabeth Warren is who's talked about all the time.

01:41:30.900 Stop it.

01:41:31.380 Joe Biden, he'll be too old.

01:41:33.100 I mean, Joe may have had a chance, may have had a better chance than Hillary this time around.

01:41:38.320 In 2016, maybe.

01:41:40.040 May.

01:41:40.820 Yeah.

01:41:41.080 But those guys, they're not going to beat him now.

01:41:43.780 Yeah.

01:41:44.560 He's already, I mean, he can destroy them with a wave of his hand.

01:41:47.720 What about Lincoln Chafee if he again brings back his plan to bring us a new measuring

01:41:56.820 system?

01:41:57.600 What if we go metric?

01:41:59.160 What if?

01:42:00.220 If we can get someone to actually comment on it and show that that's what Lincoln wants.

01:42:04.540 This last time, they just brushed it over like it didn't even happen.

01:42:07.660 Right.

01:42:07.900 The mainstream media brushed that under the rug because it was too powerful a policy position.

01:42:14.500 Too controversial, but too powerful.

01:42:16.320 The American people would have been all over his candidacy if they'd known that he was

01:42:21.220 trying to bring back the metric system.

01:42:23.900 That was such a great speech when he...

01:42:25.900 So good.

01:42:26.860 That was so good.

01:42:28.120 That was like his main focus was the metric system.

01:42:31.140 So good.

01:42:31.740 Yeah.

01:42:32.160 Lincoln, I don't know if you're aware of that.

01:42:33.580 We had that chance back in the 70s and 80s and said, no, thank you then.

01:42:38.360 We're not doing it now.

01:42:39.540 We're not doing it now.

01:42:40.280 It's not going to happen, bro.

01:42:41.960 Matt in Florida.

01:42:43.120 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:42:44.420 Hi.

01:42:45.100 Hey, Glenn.

01:42:45.720 And hey, guys.

01:42:46.400 Thanks for taking my call.

01:42:47.760 Quick question for you.

01:42:48.860 If I could ask, too, that'd be great.

01:42:50.340 But quick question.

01:42:51.220 Do you guys think at all Ted Cruz might have lost his chance to be president instead of

01:42:56.580 everybody else?

01:42:57.540 Yeah.

01:42:57.840 Oh, yes.

01:42:58.540 Do you guys like to blame?

01:42:59.000 Mm-hmm.

01:42:59.760 Absolutely.

01:43:00.820 I mean, obviously, we've covered it for most of the show.

01:43:04.220 But since Pat and I were perusing it off the air, we just took it to the air.

01:43:08.600 A, he pissed off Trump supporters in a big way.

01:43:12.860 B, he pissed off his supporters like us when he then did the 180 on Trump.

01:43:18.560 When he said he wouldn't.

01:43:19.460 Said he wouldn't.

01:43:20.180 Then he did.

01:43:20.900 Yep.

01:43:21.140 So that makes it tough for him.

01:43:23.720 And no matter what.

01:43:24.960 I mean, he's still a good guy.

01:43:25.920 I'll still vote for him for a senator here in Texas.

01:43:27.680 Better believe it.

01:43:28.100 Yes.

01:43:28.380 And I'd vote for him again for president if he ran.

01:43:30.400 I would.

01:43:31.900 You would, huh?

01:43:32.820 Yeah.

01:43:33.060 See, the thing that got me was his spiel.

01:43:36.080 He would basically start a question off, and then he'd tell his story, and then he'd

01:43:39.940 answer the question, and it'd be 45 minutes later.

01:43:42.320 And I would, like, go to a commercial, and then I'd come back, and he'd still be talking

01:43:46.120 about the same thing.

01:43:47.200 I just couldn't handle it.

01:43:48.200 I think a lot of people just maybe fell a little bored.

01:43:51.560 Yes.

01:43:51.880 Although he has good policies and everything else.

01:43:53.740 Yes.

01:43:53.940 I just didn't think it was a good fit.

01:43:55.360 Well, that was kind of his.

01:43:56.400 Thanks, Pat.

01:43:56.980 That was his plan that didn't work out, right?

01:43:58.700 I mean, that was his game plan to go up against Trump.

01:44:02.280 His biggest problem was his communication skills.

01:44:04.700 Yes.

01:44:04.720 No question.

01:44:05.420 He doesn't have them.

01:44:06.200 No question.

01:44:06.760 And then when you're being destroyed, when you're being, you know, lying Ted and blah, blah,

01:44:11.240 blah, blah, blah, to death from the man himself at every turn, you just don't have a shot.

01:44:18.080 And that was what started it, right?

01:44:20.460 Donald Trump destroyed those candidates.

01:44:23.860 I personally, they could never run for president again.

01:44:26.480 I mean, I know we went down the list, and we've covered it ad nauseum, but I don't think

01:44:30.780 they could do it.

01:44:31.340 I don't think any of them could.

01:44:32.580 Not for president.

01:44:33.660 Which I think maybe Jindal, maybe Scott Walker, maybe Carly Fiorina.

01:44:39.460 Maybe.

01:44:40.220 But we'll see.

01:44:40.780 In 2020, they may not have the opportunity, because they're not running against a sitting

01:44:44.540 president.

01:44:45.300 Right.

01:44:45.680 So all of that is only if he decides not to try for a second term.

01:44:50.840 888-727-BECK.

01:44:55.200 Glenn, back.

01:45:05.680 Glenn, back.

01:45:06.720 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:45:11.340 You can also tune in for my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, which is immediately following this

01:45:18.820 show on the Blaze Radio and TV network.

01:45:21.580 This is interesting.

01:45:22.680 Rap for the first time ever.

01:45:23.900 R&B, hip-hop, rap, whatever you want to call it, has overtaken rock as the most popular

01:45:29.940 musical genre for the first time ever.

01:45:32.100 About time.

01:45:33.940 Isn't it, though?

01:45:34.800 About time.

01:45:35.600 We've all been waiting for this.

01:45:36.900 Get rid of that rock.

01:45:37.940 Thank you.

01:45:38.960 Boring and tiresome.

01:45:39.420 Give me some Jay-Z or whatever.

01:45:40.840 8 of the 10 most listened to artists of the year came from R&B, hip-hop, led by Drake,

01:45:48.260 Kendrick Lamar, and then Latin music, I guess, has spiked over time, too.

01:45:57.900 That's way up.

01:46:00.060 Hip-hop dominated the charts in 2017 with viral hits such as Lil Uzi's Vert's Exo Tour.

01:46:08.140 I missed that one.

01:46:09.480 What?

01:46:09.740 Yeah, I'm not as into Lil Uzi as I probably should be.

01:46:15.140 I mean, that Vert's Exo Tour.

01:46:16.840 Yeah, please.

01:46:18.000 The Vert's Exo Tour Lil F3.

01:46:21.180 Mm-hmm.

01:46:23.020 It was huge.

01:46:24.160 Don't get me wrong.

01:46:25.180 It was great.

01:46:26.200 Ed Sheeran's Divide was the most popular album, supposedly, with 2.8 million album equivalent

01:46:32.160 units.

01:46:32.920 What's an album equivalent unit?

01:46:34.620 Is that like if you download the thing from plus the actual copies of CDs that you buy?

01:46:40.460 I don't know.

01:46:41.240 2.8 million.

01:46:42.320 And that was followed by Kendrick Lamar's Damn at 2.7 and Taylor Swift's Reputation 2.3.

01:46:47.780 So rock has been supplanted.

01:46:50.840 Will that last?

01:46:51.600 I don't know.

01:46:52.380 But it just shows you I've got no place in this society anymore.

01:46:56.340 I guess I'm too white now for even to listen to music.

01:47:05.200 Good night, America.

01:47:05.860 Good night.

01:47:06.700 Drive safely.

01:47:07.620 We'll see you tomorrow right here and coming up next on Pat Gray Unleashed on Blaze Radio

01:47:11.840 and TV.

01:47:12.180 Glenn Beck
