The Glenn Beck Program - 10⧸16⧸17 - What Matters Most？ (The Great Charlie Daniels joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, love, courage, truth, Glenn Beck.

00:00:15.380 Jimmy Kimmel seems like a pretty likable guy.

00:00:17.280 I mean, I've laughed at some of the segments on his late night show, but he's been getting

00:00:21.560 more and more political on his jokes and on his show lately, and he's caused an awful

00:00:27.120 lot of attention.

00:00:27.860 Yesterday, he was on CBS Sunday morning, and here's what he had to say.

00:00:32.840 One conservative commentator in particular who says, who made Jimmy Kimmel the moral

00:00:37.540 arbiter?

00:00:38.400 I'm not.

00:00:39.180 I mean, yeah, I agree with him.

00:00:41.000 I'm nobody's moral arbiter.

00:00:42.640 I mean, you don't have to watch the show.

00:00:45.160 You don't have to listen to what I say.

00:00:47.100 Okay.

00:00:47.960 He might think that he's nobody's moral arbiter, but when he does these political monologues,

00:00:54.040 he is presenting himself as one.

00:00:55.980 It's the same thing that I do, Jimmy, and you know how you feel about me.

00:01:03.000 Here's what annoys so many Americans.

00:01:06.400 Comedians will present their political opinions as if it's the default position of the country.

00:01:11.580 There's no nuance, no recognition that there are millions of potential viewers that really

00:01:16.900 disagree with them.

00:01:17.780 Like three years ago, I was equally liked by Republicans and Democrats, and then Republican

00:01:25.260 numbers went way down, like 30 percent or whatever.

00:01:29.520 And, you know, as a talk show host, that's not ideal, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

00:01:35.140 Okay.

00:01:35.940 So if I was ABC, I would call Jimmy and remind him that his job is trying to get as many viewers

00:01:42.160 as possible.

00:01:42.780 So alienating a chunk of the audience is bad for business.

00:01:46.820 When when he abandons comedy for serious diatribes on politics, he's not doing his job.

00:01:54.460 The other thing is it ignores or ignores and annoys half of the country.

00:02:02.220 If people want politics, they'll watch another channel, they'll they'll watch, you know, a show

00:02:08.660 like this or they'll go someplace where they expect it.

00:02:13.360 How many of us left and right just want to laugh?

00:02:19.200 So you don't mind if Republicans turn off your show?

00:02:21.240 They're not watching anymore.

00:02:22.280 I don't say I don't mind.

00:02:23.320 I mean, I love for everyone.

00:02:24.620 I want everyone with a television to watch the show.

00:02:27.280 But if they're so turned off by my opinion on health care and gun violence, then.

00:02:36.780 I don't know, I probably won't want to have a conversation with them anyway.

00:02:41.300 Good riddance.

00:02:42.420 Well, not good riddance, but riddance.

00:02:45.700 Hmm.

00:02:47.780 This is the most important thing that he said.

00:02:49.840 I probably wouldn't want to have a conversation with them anyway.

00:02:59.640 How many times are we going to hear this in our society?

00:03:02.100 Because that's the takeaway.

00:03:05.060 Not that he's saying something, you know, about guns or health care or anything else.

00:03:11.780 Not that he's losing audience or gaining others.

00:03:14.740 That he says, if you disagree with me, I probably wouldn't want to have a conversation with you anyway.

00:03:24.920 Kimmel can have all the political opinions he wants.

00:03:33.720 And because of his celebrity, he'll have the opportunities to talk about them.

00:03:37.960 These late night hosts might be surprised how much of the audience would just really appreciate them for doing their job on not pissing me off at the end of the day and just making us all laugh and come together as Americans.

00:04:02.060 Monday, October 16th, this is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:18.200 It doesn't seem like anybody cares anymore.

00:04:22.040 George Lopez booed off the stage for juvenile diabetes in Denver last week.

00:04:30.180 He did an anti-Donald Trump routine.

00:04:32.800 It didn't go over really well with the crowd.

00:04:36.640 The tables sold for $5,000 to $100,000 to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.

00:04:43.460 And George was asked nicely, this is according to the event, George was asked nicely to stop making Trump jokes by a man in the front row who just donated $250,000.

00:04:59.260 But George didn't.

00:05:01.720 He continued and got booed.

00:05:03.660 Here it is.

00:05:04.780 Listen, it's about the kids.

00:05:06.900 I apologize for bringing politics to an event.

00:05:14.380 This is America.

00:05:15.780 It still is.

00:05:17.520 All right.

00:05:19.180 So I apologize to your white privilege, but yes.

00:05:26.100 If I was in my minority in Denver, I'd be upset too.

00:05:30.820 Wow.

00:05:31.840 I bet.

00:05:33.020 Wow.

00:05:33.700 I apologize for your white privilege.

00:05:41.560 Thank you for changing my opinion on old white men, but it doesn't change the way I feel about orange men.

00:05:53.340 So what is happening here?

00:05:57.460 What is happening here is what has happened before.

00:06:03.700 And one of the things that I have warned against and been worried about, honor, courage, love.

00:06:20.560 Those were the three events that we did as we prepared for these times.

00:06:28.040 Honor.

00:06:28.800 Have honor.

00:06:30.260 Know what is true.

00:06:32.380 Know what is most important.

00:06:34.840 God is most important.

00:06:38.100 Never dishonor yourself.

00:06:40.980 Stand for the truth.

00:06:42.420 Next, with courage.

00:06:43.580 Have the courage because times are going to get tough and you're going to feel awfully alone.

00:06:51.960 And people are going to say horrible things and do horrible things.

00:06:56.800 And you have to have the courage to remember and stand in honor.

00:07:06.180 And love.

00:07:07.860 The only way to protect yourself from the hate that is coming is love.

00:07:16.180 Empathy.

00:07:18.220 Seeing one another.

00:07:20.320 Hearing one another.

00:07:22.300 Listening to one another.

00:07:24.360 We're not doing that.

00:07:35.660 How many people that you know truly have honor?

00:07:41.360 How many people do you know that are willing to and have demonstrated?

00:07:47.140 If you haven't demonstrated in your own life yet that you will stand against the mob.

00:07:53.320 You will take on your own side.

00:07:55.740 Because there's no way any of us, left or right, agree with everything that left or right has done.

00:08:02.520 If you're not looking.

00:08:04.200 If you're on the left.

00:08:05.500 And you're not seeing Antifa.

00:08:07.580 And you're not seeing people excuse that.

00:08:09.980 And you don't look at them and say, excuse me.

00:08:12.660 These guys are not on our side.

00:08:15.780 They scare the hell out of me.

00:08:17.640 If you haven't taken on your own side yet.

00:08:23.300 Then perhaps you don't know what honor is.

00:08:27.460 Or you don't have courage.

00:08:29.120 And if you're not concerned about the hatred.

00:08:39.100 Then I don't know what will start to concern you on that.

00:08:44.280 What made America great?

00:08:47.480 Well, a couple of things.

00:08:49.600 The Tocqueville said what made America great is that America was good.

00:08:53.900 Are we good anymore?

00:08:55.180 Are we good anymore?

00:08:55.240 Are we?

00:09:05.180 Do you remember when Americans used to look like Puritans?

00:09:11.780 We were mocked around the world because we were Puritans?

00:09:17.900 Are we Puritans anymore?

00:09:26.440 I saw an ad last night for Emirate Airways.

00:09:32.340 And it was fascinating to watch.

00:09:35.820 Most people, I bet, won't even notice it.

00:09:39.120 But all of the women were completely covered.

00:09:43.140 Not in hijabs or anything like that.

00:09:45.760 Just had long sleeves.

00:09:48.560 And the shorts came down to their knees.

00:09:51.020 At one point, it shows a beach.

00:09:55.260 And a woman laying on the beach.

00:09:57.840 And she's got like a robe on her.

00:10:00.660 And she runs towards the water in her robe.

00:10:05.840 I watched that and I said to my son,

00:10:07.840 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:10:09.500 Go back.

00:10:10.540 Watch this.

00:10:11.180 Notice the women.

00:10:15.940 He said, wow, dad, what does that mean?

00:10:19.920 I said, that is to not offend the sensibilities of their home nation and the Muslims around the world.

00:10:27.420 It's a Muslim airline.

00:10:31.080 So they are coming into our culture.

00:10:34.280 They have to change their ads and try to appeal to us.

00:10:40.980 But they're the Puritans.

00:10:44.860 There wouldn't be a single ad that would look like that.

00:10:48.640 And it wouldn't stand out.

00:10:49.700 Most people would never even notice it.

00:10:51.540 But that wouldn't.

00:10:55.980 That wouldn't be made here.

00:10:58.420 Nobody would even consider that.

00:11:01.420 As Donna Karan said last week, look at the way they're dressed.

00:11:04.380 Donna Karan?

00:11:05.500 Have you ever tried to go and buy modest clothes for your children, for your daughters?

00:11:19.080 Have you ever done that?

00:11:20.500 It's almost impossible.

00:11:26.480 And why is that market?

00:11:28.900 Why is that market so untapped?

00:11:31.920 Because no one listens to each other.

00:11:35.500 One side just assumes that they're right and that everyone is like that.

00:11:44.200 And if they're not like that, well, there's something wrong with them.

00:11:50.840 And so you're just in the dustbin.

00:11:57.540 You have to go shopping wherever you can find clothes that are modest.

00:12:05.500 This is now happening in everything in our life.

00:12:09.600 On television.

00:12:10.840 They don't care about you anymore.

00:12:13.120 And so what do we do?

00:12:24.340 We get mad at people like George Lopez.

00:12:31.620 We get mad at him because of his arrogance.

00:12:34.100 Is there any humility, George?

00:12:39.160 Any humility?

00:12:43.960 You know, I spent, after Donald Trump won, I spent a long time with the left, begging them,

00:12:50.660 don't do what I did.

00:12:53.300 And what was that?

00:12:54.200 I told the truth as I saw it.

00:12:57.320 Yes, I did.

00:12:58.300 And there I do that again.

00:13:02.020 But I also lacked a certain sense of empathy for half of the country.

00:13:08.080 And I didn't speak to them, nor did I listen to them.

00:13:14.740 And so, and not because of me, but because of all of us on both sides, we've gone into

00:13:21.980 our camps and we're not listening.

00:13:25.360 And so what happens if you don't listen, if you don't talk, you become us versus them.

00:13:33.080 Somehow or another, we're dehumanized.

00:13:37.700 And you know, this is true.

00:13:39.520 Look at what CBS, look up to the, one of the executives at CBS said about all the people

00:13:45.700 at the country concert in Las Vegas.

00:13:49.940 As if we're not even human.

00:13:52.800 What happens when you're, when you have a society like this, one side wins and puts the other

00:14:12.920 side into a camp.

00:14:15.780 That's what happens.

00:14:17.040 I can't say it's going to happen here, but that's what happens historically.

00:14:24.780 You dehumanize the enemy.

00:14:28.420 You make them the problem.

00:14:31.720 It gives you, it, it cuts all of your ties emotionally to them as people.

00:14:38.360 We can't play into this anymore.

00:14:51.440 Instead of being mad at Jimmy Kimmel, I would beg Jimmy Kimmel to reconsider.

00:14:59.540 I would beg Jimmy Kimmel to talk to us.

00:15:03.880 To listen to us and to realize that we're going to disagree.

00:15:14.440 But what's your end game, Jimmy?

00:15:18.560 We either live with each other and we tolerate each other and we give each other the space.

00:15:25.520 Or what?

00:15:26.700 What?

00:15:33.880 There's a lot going on today and it's not all this heavy, but there's some changes that

00:15:39.860 are happening around the world, including in Austria, which I don't think anybody was

00:15:44.140 paying attention.

00:15:45.300 A party that was started literally by a former SS officer now has 30% of the government.

00:15:56.160 The uber scary Nazi right and the uber scary communist left is rearing its head.

00:16:11.460 So what are we going to do about it?

00:16:13.800 We are either going to join them because we feel there's no beating it unless we become like

00:16:23.580 them or we return to our roots and come together as Americans and solve this together.

00:16:43.800 The Equifax breach that impacted 143 million consumers just got bigger.

00:16:53.720 They've now added 2.5 million people to the list.

00:16:56.260 And if that's not bad enough, Yahoo announced that their breach impacted 3 billion user accounts.

00:17:03.200 That's triple the original estimate.

00:17:05.900 I don't know if you heard this over the weekend.

00:17:08.440 If you've ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut has now been hacked and the credit card numbers

00:17:16.140 from Pizza Hut is now out.

00:17:19.320 Your personal information, once it's out, once it's exposed, it's out.

00:17:24.720 And identity thieves can buy your information on the dark web for months and even years,

00:17:30.280 and they can use it to commit crimes in your name.

00:17:32.640 They can steal from your 401k.

00:17:34.840 The time to protect yourself is right now.

00:17:37.660 Now, LifeLock has never been more important than it is now.

00:17:42.080 They use proprietary technology to help detect a wide range of identity theft.

00:17:46.940 And if there is a problem, somebody here in the U.S., a restoration specialist, is going to work to fix it.

00:17:53.020 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

00:17:56.460 but LifeLock can help you see the threat before it hits you or immediately after and help stop it.

00:18:04.180 Go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK.

00:18:25.320 Glenn Beck.

00:18:26.520 So where do we go from here?

00:18:33.660 Well, one thing that our politicians need to understand is it's in their hands.

00:18:38.980 It is in their hands.

00:18:40.480 And somebody better wake up.

00:18:42.780 Ted Cruz seemed to be awake this weekend.

00:18:45.460 Here's what he had to say about 2018.

00:18:47.440 Look, the reason people are so unhappy, they're ticked off.

00:18:50.980 We've got Republican control of every branch of government, and we're not delivering.

00:18:54.520 You know, if senators don't want to see those kind of challenges, there's an easy solution to that.

00:19:01.660 Let's do what we said we would do.

00:19:03.860 Let's deliver on tax cuts and repealing Obamacare.

00:19:08.400 If we get that done, I'm a big believer good policy is good politics.

00:19:12.820 We'll have a terrific 2018 election year if we cut taxes, repeal Obamacare, and the economy booms.

00:19:19.520 If we don't get any of that done, 2018 could be a bloodbath.

00:19:22.520 We control our own fate, deliver results.

00:19:26.120 He's completely right.

00:19:27.400 He's right.

00:19:28.160 And we've said this a million times.

00:19:29.540 There's, you know, we've had criticism for the president.

00:19:31.340 But, I mean, the reason why Obamacare is repealed is not because it has anything to do with the president.

00:19:35.660 The reason why Obamacare isn't repealed is because the Republican Congress could not hand him any piece of legislation at all, any of which he'd sign, as he was pretty clear about.

00:19:44.380 Yeah, I'd sign anything.

00:19:45.560 Yeah, he'll sign any of these things.

00:19:47.240 They could have done a skinny repeal, a fat repeal, a normal repeal, any of these things he would have signed.

00:19:54.100 Any of it.

00:19:54.420 And they couldn't deliver any of them.

00:19:56.600 Not a small little bill that just dissected it.

00:19:59.240 It took bad pieces out.

00:20:00.400 Nothing.

00:20:00.840 They gave him nothing to sign.

00:20:02.120 And, you know, Cruz is right on this.

00:20:05.420 If they can pass these things and the effects of the policies are as good as we would hope they would be, then they're going to have no problem in these elections.

00:20:14.680 But if they do nothing and things are bad.

00:20:17.500 2018 is going to be a Republican ghost town.

00:20:27.020 Glenn Beck.

00:20:32.120 Hey, our heart goes out to those in California.

00:20:42.920 And if you would like to get involved, mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org, to be able to help these people.

00:20:49.660 You know, there are 400 people missing.

00:20:54.280 400 people are missing.

00:20:56.520 The death toll is now starting to creep up to Vegas numbers.

00:21:01.820 And it doesn't seem like anybody's really paying attention to this.

00:21:06.820 And California, we want you to know you're in our thoughts and our prayers.

00:21:10.960 And if you want to get involved and help California, you can go to mercuryone.org.

00:21:17.660 I'm wondering why we don't seem to connect with this California story.

00:21:25.620 And maybe, perhaps, it is Puerto Rico we saw as another country.

00:21:35.300 People just don't see Puerto Ricans as American citizens.

00:21:38.460 I hate that.

00:21:39.520 I hate the fact that you have to be an American citizen.

00:21:41.700 But I can't figure out why we don't care about the Puerto Rican story as much as we should.

00:21:48.220 I mean, people without electricity at all.

00:21:51.060 No phone service.

00:21:52.000 Nothing.

00:21:53.660 That's just a...

00:21:54.700 That's horrible.

00:21:56.080 Yeah, and they are American citizens.

00:21:57.680 And they are American citizens.

00:21:58.260 Polls show something like 40% of Americans don't actually realize that.

00:22:02.180 But yeah, they're American citizens.

00:22:03.560 Right.

00:22:03.820 And I don't...

00:22:04.160 But I don't think it's just that they're Americans...

00:22:06.540 That we don't know that they're American citizens.

00:22:09.300 I'm not sure what it is.

00:22:10.640 Do you think it's natural disaster fatigue at all?

00:22:13.320 Could be.

00:22:13.700 Because we had, you know, Harvey, Irma, Maria...

00:22:16.880 In the Puerto Rico thing, obviously, is in that you have...

00:22:19.720 There were wildfires before the hurricanes and now the ones after.

00:22:23.620 So I think it's that.

00:22:24.840 But I also think that people are sick of...

00:22:28.640 They don't want to give to the Red Cross.

00:22:32.040 You know, they just don't want to give.

00:22:33.120 They don't try.

00:22:33.820 How many people do you know?

00:22:35.180 If you're involved in FEMA or the Red Cross, I want nothing to do with it.

00:22:38.720 There's definitely some of that.

00:22:39.660 I mean, they have raised a lot of money.

00:22:41.060 Yeah, they have.

00:22:41.620 They have.

00:22:42.120 They have.

00:22:42.600 And there was huge reactions to things like Harvey, right?

00:22:46.000 I mean, it's not like we've forgotten all natural disasters.

00:22:48.620 It's just...

00:22:48.900 No, what I'm thinking is, is that you can't really get involved over in Puerto Rico because

00:22:54.700 it's an island.

00:22:55.380 So we can't...

00:22:57.260 You know, we don't have people from neighboring states going and driving there.

00:23:00.600 There's not a hands-on feel to it.

00:23:02.180 Correct.

00:23:02.340 So there's no real hands-on feel to it.

00:23:05.260 It's so massive that it's going to take the government to do something.

00:23:10.140 And with California, I think that we look at California not as neighbors, but as a giant

00:23:17.300 state.

00:23:18.080 And I don't mean giant state like Texas is a giant state or Alaska is a giant state.

00:23:22.280 I mean, it's statism.

00:23:24.380 And so you, again, it's like an island.

00:23:28.920 Here in Texas, nobody's going to stop you from getting a boat and going out.

00:23:33.560 In California, A, you can't do anything because it's fires.

00:23:38.020 So, you know, you'll die.

00:23:40.800 But also, is California even going to welcome that?

00:23:46.080 Is the state going to let you do anything?

00:23:48.200 I mean, you know what I mean?

00:23:49.440 Yeah.

00:23:49.820 It's like a...

00:23:51.280 I don't know.

00:23:52.660 I don't know.

00:23:53.240 I do think there is an element of that, right?

00:23:55.180 I mean, that is the philosophy of that area.

00:23:59.180 Yeah.

00:23:59.380 And it's such a split area, too.

00:24:00.860 We talk about this all the time.

00:24:01.800 I mean, we were just looking at some stats of the business.

00:24:04.680 And one of our big business parts of this, I can't remember if it was subscription or whatever

00:24:09.060 it was, the biggest part of it is California.

00:24:11.420 Yeah.

00:24:11.600 There's a lot of real conservatives in California.

00:24:14.920 And they feel abandoned.

00:24:15.740 Who feel abandoned because there are real conservatives there and then there are real far left people.

00:24:20.680 And so, obviously, so far, they've held control of the state for most of the time and grown

00:24:25.980 government to massive levels, too.

00:24:27.520 I think there are a lot of citizens there who look at it as this is always the government's

00:24:31.740 job.

00:24:32.060 There's nothing for me to do.

00:24:33.180 I'll go along, do my life until something happens to me, and then the government will

00:24:35.860 help me.

00:24:36.900 And that's obviously a different, totally different vibe.

00:24:38.960 And they just think differently in California, in the liberal regions.

00:24:46.960 I mean, I saw what they did with Harvey Weinstein this weekend with the Oscars.

00:24:55.040 Okay, so you kicked him out, but Woody Allen is still in.

00:24:58.980 Yeah.

00:24:59.160 Woody Allen, who, by the way, was convicted.

00:25:02.520 He was guilty.

00:25:03.480 He admitted he raped a 14-year-old.

00:25:05.720 No, no, not Woody Allen.

00:25:07.160 You're thinking Woody Allen is the one who had pictures of his daughter.

00:25:11.280 Oh, I'm thinking Polanski.

00:25:12.100 Yeah, Polanski.

00:25:12.980 Sorry, yeah.

00:25:14.060 Sorry, I get all these wonderful Hollywood characters confused.

00:25:17.500 Right, but Woody Allen's the same thing, right?

00:25:19.080 Yeah, Woody Allen, you know, had pictures of his underage daughter.

00:25:22.740 He married his daughter.

00:25:23.900 He married his daughter, his adopted daughter.

00:25:25.800 His other daughter said he molested her beginning at seven.

00:25:29.720 And then his statement on this was, gee, you know, I hope we don't outlaw winking.

00:25:38.060 Winking?

00:25:39.920 That's a weird statement from him.

00:25:42.140 Okay, Woody.

00:25:43.320 All right.

00:25:44.160 Bizarre.

00:25:45.300 And so you just, I just, let me play.

00:25:51.300 Let me play Corey Feldman, please.

00:25:54.420 Here's Corey Feldman on Barbara Walters.

00:25:57.340 Now, this is a few years ago, she was on, he was on The View, and he was talking about

00:26:02.660 what's happening in Hollywood, and how he and other star, child stars, had been molested

00:26:09.000 by men.

00:26:10.420 Very powerful men.

00:26:11.480 Now, listen to this, and listen to what Barbara Walters says.

00:26:14.560 Saying that there are people that were the people that did this to both me and Corey,

00:26:18.940 that are still working, they're still out there, and they're some of the richest, most

00:26:22.320 powerful people in this business.

00:26:23.780 And they do not want me saying what I'm saying right now.

00:26:27.340 Are you saying that they're pedophiles?

00:26:29.340 Yes.

00:26:29.960 And that they're still in this business?

00:26:31.340 Yes.

00:26:31.900 That's what, yeah, and that's what you're saying in your book.

00:26:33.700 When you talk to, when you talk to parents, Corey, there are a lot of parents out here

00:26:40.000 who want to put their kids in this, in this business.

00:26:43.100 Their kids are cute, they're great actors.

00:26:44.980 What would you say to a parent who just has the best of intentions, who's coming here

00:26:48.880 with their child?

00:26:50.200 If you're saying that there's a lot of predators in this industry.

00:26:53.300 It's a many feathered bird, okay?

00:26:55.660 Be careful what you wish for.

00:26:57.340 That's what I'll tell you.

00:26:58.700 You know, don't go into it with naivety.

00:27:00.440 Don't go into it thinking that it's all roses and sunglasses.

00:27:03.080 You're damaging an entire industry.

00:27:04.880 I'm sorry.

00:27:05.380 I'm not trying to.

00:27:06.700 I'm just trying to say that it's a very important, serious topic.

00:27:09.880 You said that there was one gentleman in the industry who did not take advantage of you.

00:27:14.400 He was not a pedophile.

00:27:15.540 You said it was Michael Jackson.

00:27:17.140 All people.

00:27:20.020 And she pushes back on behalf.

00:27:21.440 She pushes back on behalf of Hollywood.

00:27:24.300 And we're living in this time where you have to believe the accusers.

00:27:29.380 Well, no, you don't have to believe.

00:27:31.400 You have to take them seriously and investigate.

00:27:35.600 You take them seriously.

00:27:37.380 But you don't have to believe them.

00:27:40.340 She didn't even take them seriously.

00:27:43.160 She turns around.

00:27:44.360 You're destroying a whole industry.

00:27:47.400 Well, that whole industry is really sick.

00:27:51.620 I mean, we now know.

00:27:52.960 I mean, who's the guy who is the producer that was having the hot tub parties with all of the young boys?

00:27:58.720 Remember?

00:27:59.700 That barely even made the news.

00:28:02.480 Do you know that story?

00:28:04.640 Somebody's got to remember.

00:28:05.540 Natasha, see if you can find it.

00:28:07.460 It's a sick story about this guy in Hollywood who has had these hot tub parties for years and has lured boys over to his home.

00:28:20.760 And it's impossible to take them seriously.

00:28:24.080 When you have Meryl Streep is coming out and saying, oh, well, I'm very offended about what Harvey Weinstein.

00:28:28.460 First of all, you've been calling him God for years.

00:28:30.480 Second of all, forget that.

00:28:32.200 Let's just say you didn't know anything about Harvey Weinstein.

00:28:34.100 Let's just say.

00:28:34.740 I don't believe it.

00:28:34.940 We don't believe it at all.

00:28:36.260 I don't believe it.

00:28:36.600 But let's just say she had no idea.

00:28:39.440 She was praising Roman Polanski from stage multiple times.

00:28:44.900 A guy who was convicted of raping a 14-year-old.

00:28:48.720 He admitted he ran from the country to avoid prison time and has not been able to return.

00:28:56.100 And you were still praising him.

00:28:57.980 What credibility could you possibly have on this matter?

00:29:01.900 Go away.

00:29:04.500 It's absolutely incredible that they think that they should be believable.

00:29:09.360 And I guess it's because they're actors and actresses and they're supposed to be.

00:29:12.280 They're going to claim now they think that they can convince anyone of anything.

00:29:16.060 Well, no.

00:29:16.500 I mean, Hillary Clinton is doing the same thing.

00:29:18.580 Did you see her on the BBC?

00:29:20.220 She was on the BBC this weekend.

00:29:22.320 Do we have this audio?

00:29:23.540 She was on the BBC this weekend and she was saying, yeah, here, cut.

00:29:30.180 Let's play cut one first.

00:29:33.380 No regrets attacking Bill accusers.

00:29:35.800 In your book, the three women brought onto stage by Trump attacking your husband.

00:29:42.240 And you kind of dismissed them.

00:29:43.840 Was that the right thing to do?

00:29:44.800 Are you sure about that?

00:29:45.780 Well, yes, because that had all been litigated.

00:29:47.680 I mean, that was the subject of a huge investigation, as you might recall, in the late 90s.

00:29:54.060 And there were conclusions drawn.

00:29:56.880 And that was clearly in the past.

00:29:59.440 But it is something that has to be taken seriously.

00:30:02.300 As I say, for everyone, not just for those in entertainment right now.

00:30:07.560 Absolutely.

00:30:08.060 Nobody wants to blame women for what men do.

00:30:11.020 But nonetheless, powerful women like you also have a duty to call men out.

00:30:15.820 As I did throughout the campaign.

00:30:17.800 I certainly did.

00:30:19.560 I mean, the really sad part of the campaign was how this horrific tape, what he said about women in the past,

00:30:29.860 what he said about women during the campaign was discounted by a lot of voters.

00:30:34.620 She went on to say, I didn't know anything about Harvey.

00:30:38.620 I'd never even heard those rumors.

00:30:42.340 No, I don't believe that.

00:30:44.300 I don't believe that.

00:30:45.900 And here's why we have seen too much evidence of too many people that were mauled by him.

00:30:57.900 You are too close to Weinstein.

00:31:01.460 I know people in the Clinton circles who worked for Weinstein, and they knew.

00:31:09.180 You're telling me those people never warned you?

00:31:12.840 They never said, really bad guy.

00:31:16.220 Really bad guy.

00:31:17.800 Why would your people that used to work for you tell me about that and not you?

00:31:24.780 I don't believe it for a second.

00:31:28.120 Yeah, I mean, it's tough because is there...

00:31:32.840 I read something from an employee of one of the companies, you know, off-the-record comment from one of the employees.

00:31:37.620 And they said, look, we knew what we thought he was, was a guy who screamed at everybody and was a jerk.

00:31:43.100 Yes.

00:31:43.500 And a guy who, whenever he left, whenever he went on the road, was cheating on his wife.

00:31:47.820 That's different.

00:31:48.720 Right.

00:31:49.040 Hang on just a second.

00:31:50.080 That's different than, I've never heard these rumors.

00:31:52.720 She said in the BBC article, in Deal, wide-eyed.

00:31:57.320 I never, no, I never heard anything like this.

00:32:00.600 That's different than, look, I heard that he was a philanderer, but I thought it was all consensual.

00:32:09.400 She can't say that.

00:32:11.220 No, no.

00:32:11.980 She can't say that.

00:32:12.920 She's so dishonest.

00:32:14.160 So, yeah, so she has to go to, I never heard any of it, which is also a lie.

00:32:19.960 I tell you, the day of the politicians is just, it's just over.

00:32:32.020 I read a book this weekend, and I read this, let me see if I can find it, because I don't

00:32:37.400 know, I finished this damn novel, and I don't even know the name of it.

00:32:42.360 Hop on Pop?

00:32:43.720 Yes.

00:32:44.240 Yes.

00:32:44.400 Have you read that?

00:32:44.960 Yeah, because the guy is constantly jumping on pop.

00:32:47.320 It was crazy, right?

00:32:48.960 Yeah, it's really good.

00:32:49.880 It's like, go get off pop.

00:32:51.720 Yeah.

00:32:52.200 I think they might make a movie out of that thing, because that is, it was powerful.

00:32:55.320 Robert Harris is a great writer, a great novelist, and he wrote a few years ago, Conclave, and

00:33:04.700 it's all about the Pope dying, and there's some intrigue, and then what happens in the Conclave

00:33:11.040 to get the next Pope, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:33:13.600 And it is, it's so amazing to me that it doesn't matter if it's the Conclave, or if it's, you

00:33:27.420 know, over in Europe, or here, all politicians are exactly the same.

00:33:32.840 They're exactly the same.

00:33:34.400 But there is something different this time, and it's called the internet.

00:33:41.460 We have the ability to connect with one another and connect with something real.

00:33:49.040 And I don't know, it's not going to happen by 2018, but 2020, 2022, there's going to be

00:33:56.060 a new breed of politician.

00:33:58.020 It's just, they're going to be different, because these politicians we've had enough

00:34:05.020 of in the entire world has had enough.

00:34:09.160 And so if we don't go into communism or fascism, some sort of totalitarianism, Europe is moving

00:34:17.320 in that direction rapidly.

00:34:19.120 If we don't go into something like that, there's a chance that we survive by rooting all of these

00:34:27.680 people out and not replacing them with just a better version of what we already have.

00:34:33.980 I think we have a chance of changing this entirely, and people who don't feel like that smarmy

00:34:41.040 politician, those are the people that I think we have a chance of possibly electing because

00:34:48.860 the entire system is broken.

00:34:51.740 And once somebody figures out, here's how you go through the gate, or here's how you

00:34:57.620 jump over the fence, I think those politicians are over.

00:35:01.340 Nothing is more essential than protecting your home, but traditional home security can be

00:35:22.940 a punishing and expensive task.

00:35:25.400 There is a better way.

00:36:39.040 Glenn Beck.

00:36:50.220 Glenn Beck.

00:36:53.540 So I'm having a hard time believing that people in Hollywood did not know about Harvey Weinstein.

00:37:00.020 I mean, you may not have known that he was a rapist, but you knew he was a bad guy.

00:37:03.660 When Courtney Love is on television saying this, I think in 2012.

00:37:10.980 Listen to this.

00:37:11.620 Hi, Comic Central.

00:37:12.660 Do you have any advice for a young girl moving to Hollywood?

00:37:17.080 Um, I'll get live with this.

00:37:20.460 If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party and it's horsey.

00:37:23.440 If Harvey Weinstein invites you, don't go.

00:37:28.100 Love, courage, truth.

00:37:39.160 Glenn Beck.

00:37:40.100 So the Iranian nuclear deal.

00:37:42.800 Let me just say it this way.

00:37:44.200 The most overly hyped and talk about piece of diplomacy in the history of overly hyped

00:37:51.660 and talked about diplomacy ever.

00:37:53.700 The Obama administration did everything in their power to convince us this deal was an absolute

00:37:58.660 miracle delivered to us by God, that it was a product of some diplomatic genius, as if

00:38:04.260 Obama channeled the ghost of Winston Churchill through John Kerry to wow the Iranians at the

00:38:10.160 negotiating table, forcing them to bend to our will, pay no attention to those giant crates

00:38:15.620 of cash on the tarmac at the airport.

00:38:18.100 All that talk of this deal and the diplomatic move of the century was actually the equivalent

00:38:25.040 of, Stu, correct me if I'm wrong, a 20-yard punt on first down.

00:38:31.580 That was a very good sports analogy.

00:38:33.340 Thank you.

00:38:33.780 Appreciate it.

00:38:34.880 Obama didn't want to have to deal with Iran, so all he did was he punted the football to

00:38:41.180 another president.

00:38:43.100 That's what the Iranian deal really is.

00:38:45.780 It's an elaborate delay tactic that was overly hyped by an administration looking to build

00:38:52.660 a legacy.

00:38:54.360 On the campaign trail, Trump kept the hype train rolling by making the Iranian deal one

00:39:00.120 of the talking points.

00:39:01.940 Worst deal of all time.

00:39:04.320 It's a bad deal.

00:39:05.300 Don't get me wrong.

00:39:06.740 But the president has little to say in actually doing anything about it.

00:39:12.240 That's the Senate.

00:39:13.220 On Friday, Trump did what little he could do and announced he's going to decertify the

00:39:20.780 deal when it comes up for review this week.

00:39:23.480 Now, what does that even mean?

00:39:25.740 Well, it means that Congress gets to decide whether to keep holding back sanctions or start

00:39:32.580 them up again.

00:39:34.300 Congress doesn't want to do that, even though constitutionally it's their job.

00:39:40.040 Now, this may mean that Iran pulls out of the deal and all of that cash, all the stuff

00:39:47.860 we gave to them was wasted.

00:39:50.880 We got nothing in return.

00:39:53.420 This master stroke of diplomacy allows Iran, by the way, to restart their nuclear program

00:40:00.700 legally in seven years.

00:40:03.460 So it's a punt.

00:40:07.380 They start it now.

00:40:08.840 They started in another seven years.

00:40:11.060 They're going to start it.

00:40:13.300 Trump's biggest announcement Friday on Iran didn't have anything to do with the overhyped

00:40:18.200 nuke deal.

00:40:19.900 It came with his call to place the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps on the terror sanction

00:40:25.880 list.

00:40:26.260 Now, this move above everything else actually has the ability to curb Iran's behavior.

00:40:33.580 The Iranian guard is spread out all over the Middle East.

00:40:39.740 Iran is using it to bend and reshape the region in its image.

00:40:45.540 They command militias asserting control all over Syria, all over Iraq.

00:40:50.160 Last night, these Iranian militias, along with the Iraqi government, used our hardware, as

00:40:57.580 it always is, to invade the Kurd territory and seize one of their cities.

00:41:04.320 The joint Iranian and Iraqi war on the Kurds has officially begun.

00:41:12.440 But you're not going to hear about that today.

00:41:14.420 One of our allies is under attack.

00:41:18.400 All of the debate is going to be on the most overly hyped and talked about deal in modern

00:41:26.020 history.

00:41:35.820 Monday, October 16th.

00:41:37.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:44.420 I was at church yesterday.

00:41:50.320 And a friend came up.

00:41:53.220 I said, how was your week?

00:41:56.960 She said, not good.

00:42:03.260 My daughter tried to commit suicide on Friday.

00:42:10.020 Hmm.

00:42:14.420 I don't know about your church, but mine is facing several in that net, that web.

00:42:32.880 We are, we are looking at a generation and people that

00:42:41.840 are searching for meaning.

00:42:49.680 I want you to listen carefully if, if you're one of these people.

00:42:54.920 Because I consider myself one of these people.

00:43:01.360 What really has meaning?

00:43:03.560 What, what truly has meaning in your life?

00:43:05.980 And how much of your day is spent on that?

00:43:15.100 And how much of your day is spent on stuff that is really meaningless?

00:43:24.720 How much of our day is spent on arguing?

00:43:27.240 Or, I mean, I, I think it's almost like we're, we're addicted to anger.

00:43:35.040 We're addicted to the fight on something because it gives us meaning.

00:43:41.940 It gives us purpose.

00:43:42.960 It gives us something to fight for because we don't know what's real.

00:43:48.240 Real.

00:43:51.780 We don't know really what's even happening to us.

00:43:56.980 And, and, and what we're doing at the same time, we're fighting for these things.

00:44:01.920 And we're struggling in our own self to find meaning.

00:44:05.620 If we're lucky enough, we're old enough to have, have had some meaning in our life, have

00:44:14.140 had something real in our life.

00:44:17.300 Maybe we don't have it anymore, but we did at one point.

00:44:20.960 And so we know it's possible.

00:44:24.120 I think our youth, they don't even know it's possible.

00:44:27.260 They don't know that anything has any value.

00:44:30.980 And this comes from never having to fight for somebody, never having to fight for something,

00:44:40.260 never, never losing something, never losing a game, never coming in last, never made to

00:44:47.820 feel uncomfortable.

00:44:50.580 Think of the things that truly have meaning in your life.

00:44:56.220 Did they come to you easily?

00:45:00.980 Think of the things that truly have meaning in your life.

00:45:06.100 Were they cheap?

00:45:13.860 We are living in a, uh, like a, you know, that right before you get to the cashier, what

00:45:24.420 do you call it?

00:45:25.380 Place where it's just all the candy.

00:45:26.780 That, that's, that's, I feel like that's, that's, that's what life is to Americans right

00:45:31.880 now.

00:45:32.600 Uh, you know what?

00:45:33.240 I want that.

00:45:34.960 Yeah.

00:45:35.340 I just got to throw that in there too, without all the shopping, without having to make the

00:45:39.300 list, without having to pull it in the car or anything else.

00:45:41.500 It's just, it's right there.

00:45:43.480 I want it.

00:45:44.760 I'm going to grab it.

00:45:48.520 And if I can't pay for it, don't worry.

00:45:50.560 I've got a card for, for everything.

00:45:56.680 Have you ever bought anything in the checkout counter on the checkout line that had meaning

00:46:02.460 that you, in the end, cherished that you wanted to pass on nothing?

00:46:09.980 This is happening to us because we're trying to make life comfortable and there is no meaning

00:46:22.400 in, in all comfort.

00:46:28.400 Life is uncomfortable.

00:46:31.040 Life requires endurance.

00:46:34.380 Endurance implies there's tough times.

00:46:37.000 And we're trying to take those things away from everyone.

00:46:43.640 And it's, what's making our life meaningless.

00:46:48.480 You know, in America, we think that we can protest and ban and tear down and rip up and

00:46:54.940 legislate our way out of anything bad or anything uncomfortable.

00:46:59.320 We're going to find a way.

00:47:03.800 Biloxi school district just banned the books.

00:47:07.960 To kill a mockingbird.

00:47:11.080 Now they've just banned that from the eighth grade curriculum.

00:47:14.800 The students were in the middle of studying it and the school board vice president said

00:47:19.540 there were parents that were complaining about it because there's language in this book that

00:47:23.180 makes people uncomfortable.

00:47:25.220 We can teach them the same lesson in, in another way.

00:47:29.780 That's not uncomfortable.

00:47:32.020 What?

00:47:32.820 Wait, what?

00:47:33.660 Thomas the tank?

00:47:37.020 Is that, I mean, is that, is it?

00:47:39.500 Hey, here's Thomas.

00:47:40.680 He's going to talk about racism.

00:47:43.540 He's going to talk about lynching.

00:47:45.200 It should make you uncomfortable.

00:47:52.420 Life is really pretty easy.

00:47:54.680 People are complex.

00:47:56.660 We should understand that the world is very complex because there are billions of people

00:48:03.540 in it.

00:48:04.080 racial injustice in the early 20th century America should make you uncomfortable.

00:48:13.240 How's that not a good way to talk, tell your children, do you know, have you ever read

00:48:21.660 the Grimm's fairy tales?

00:48:22.960 Have you ever read, have you ever read the actual fairy tales?

00:48:26.400 They're not happy.

00:48:29.320 Hansel and Gretel don't make it out of the house.

00:48:35.560 I mean, why, and why were they written that way?

00:48:40.040 To teach children that life is brutal unless you pay attention.

00:48:46.300 I don't know what you're going to do in Biloxi.

00:48:52.260 If you're in that area, call the school district, but in a respectful manner, suggest that they

00:48:57.120 stop cowering to the tyranny and have some common sense.

00:49:01.040 Teach our children that life is uncomfortable.

00:49:05.560 The uncomfortability of struggle is what gives your life meaning.

00:49:12.000 Ask anyone, ask anyone, their fondest memories, most likely when they just got married and

00:49:26.500 they were struggling to make it.

00:49:30.660 Why?

00:49:32.400 Because they learned so much.

00:49:37.000 We're getting tired, but we're tired because we're fighting.

00:49:42.000 We're fighting and it doesn't seem like anything has any meaning.

00:49:45.440 We're fighting.

00:49:46.540 Look how hard we have fought since September 11th for our country.

00:49:51.060 And all the people that we put our faith in, it doesn't look like they actually meant it.

00:50:00.920 So you're tired because you feel like you didn't do anything of meaning.

00:50:07.140 But you did.

00:50:09.200 You're just not seeing it.

00:50:12.000 You're not seeing it.

00:50:13.040 You changed the lives of your children.

00:50:15.860 There's nothing more important than that.

00:50:20.960 I'd like to point out that, you know, studying to kill a mockingbird promotes the exact kind

00:50:26.040 of virtues and conversation that we are in desperately need of today.

00:50:30.220 Also, school district in Biloxi, you might also know that generations of Americans have studied

00:50:38.420 to kill a mockingbird.

00:50:39.500 And somehow or another, we have all managed to survive our uncomfortableness.

00:50:44.900 There is this movement in America into one giant pansy pillow line safe space.

00:50:54.620 There's no such thing as a safe space.

00:50:59.200 I was teaching in church a couple of months ago.

00:51:07.000 And I asked, I was teaching actually during the week, I was teaching the young adults, the 16, 17, 18 year olds.

00:51:15.620 I said, tell me what sanctuary means.

00:51:23.780 Why did people, you saw Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Disney cartoon.

00:51:29.820 Why did, why was Esmeralda always screaming sanctuary, sanctuary?

00:51:32.740 Because the church was a safe space.

00:51:35.300 Wait a minute, safe space.

00:51:37.320 Was it a safe space?

00:51:40.040 Is church supposed to be a safe space?

00:51:44.260 No.

00:51:47.600 Church should be a predictable place.

00:51:51.520 But church should be the place where you come, it's a hospital, man.

00:51:57.460 It's where you come and you're struggling.

00:51:59.820 And somebody will tell you the truth.

00:52:05.020 Not make you feel better, but tell you the truth.

00:52:09.720 And here's the truth.

00:52:11.480 It's really not that hard.

00:52:13.800 It's really simple.

00:52:14.980 You follow just a few simple rules.

00:52:17.440 And you work hard.

00:52:18.880 And you question with boldness.

00:52:22.600 And you don't accept excuses from yourself.

00:52:29.820 And you stop looking for safe spaces.

00:52:33.940 We would have never gone to the moon because the moon is not a safe space.

00:52:44.340 We would have never, ever gone into space because it's chilly, I hear.

00:52:52.140 We would have never, ever come to America.

00:52:56.740 I know half the country seemingly would be happy about that.

00:53:00.980 But look at the blessings of America.

00:53:06.340 We would never explore the highest mountains.

00:53:11.380 We would most likely never get married or have children.

00:53:15.780 Because think of the heartache that you have endured because you fell in love.

00:53:25.680 Think of the heartache you endured because you had a child.

00:53:33.780 Would you change that for anything?

00:53:36.340 That heartache is, those are stripes I am proud to wear.

00:53:47.860 Because those children gave my life meaning.

00:53:52.980 Tanya's from the Northeast.

00:54:09.700 My wife, in case you haven't met.

00:54:12.280 She loves this time of year.

00:54:13.920 There's a painting that hangs in our bathroom because I can't stand to see it anyplace else.

00:54:20.300 I painted it for her in 2000.

00:54:21.740 And I had to send her home.

00:54:28.180 It was right before September 11th.

00:54:30.680 So it was actually 2001.

00:54:32.880 It was right before September 11th.

00:54:35.220 She had so missed her family.

00:54:39.780 And sent her home.

00:54:41.580 And she misses the trees up in New England when we were living in Florida.

00:54:47.620 She just missed the trees.

00:54:48.760 And every fall, these colors would happen.

00:54:51.860 And she just, she would pine for it.

00:54:55.460 Pro Flowers knows that there are people like that.

00:55:00.380 And they have something that will help them get through the fall.

00:56:04.540 Glenn.

00:56:05.200 Back.

00:56:05.860 Charlie Daniels is going to be joining us in just a little while.

00:56:10.620 He'll be in studio with us.

00:56:12.360 And he's 80 now.

00:56:14.460 He's just written a new book.

00:56:15.400 And it's fascinating.

00:56:16.980 Fascinating.

00:56:17.520 We'll talk to him coming up in just a little while.

00:56:19.120 You know, talking about talking about our friends who have had, you know, attempted suicide in their family and just the weekend before a friend of mine, Delilah, the radio host, Delilah, her son committed suicide.

00:56:39.340 It's it's a scary thing and it is happening more and more.

00:56:44.680 And you'd have to ask, why? Why?

00:56:52.540 It's it's it's there's something sick inside of us.

00:56:56.560 There's something that is missing from inside of us.

00:57:00.120 It's probably, you know, again, these all these circumstances are, you know, different and suicide has been happening forever.

00:57:07.300 So it doesn't include everything, but maybe the increase in in what we're feeling, I think, is lack of a connection to anything, anything, anything real, anything, anything foundational.

00:57:19.360 Yeah. You know, it's everyone just I feel like it's a lot easier to get into these situations where crazy things happen when you're not when everything is of the moment decision.

00:57:28.820 When everything is changes you from one thing to another, you're happy one day, you're sad the next day.

00:57:34.900 Obviously, I mean, this is separate from a clinical depression.

00:57:37.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:57:37.600 But I mean, just talking about how we make decisions without that foundation, without those principles, life is crazy.

00:57:49.820 Glenn back.

00:57:50.900 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:08.380 I warn you, I'm going to take you to a very uncomfortable, non safe zone commentary here.

00:58:14.220 I apologize that some people may feel uncomfortable with the truth.

00:58:18.660 This is a speech given by a guy named Dr. Rick Rigsby.

00:58:26.520 He's a journalist, author and a and a doctor, but that's not the most important thing about him.

00:58:34.260 He gave the commencement speech at California State University Maritime Academy.

00:58:39.480 And I want you to I want you to listen to what he said about the wisest man he ever met.

00:58:45.700 I want to share something with you.

00:58:47.540 The wisest man I ever met in my life never made it past the third grade impacted tremendously me and my brother growing up right here in Vallejo.

00:58:58.000 This this was our family.

00:59:00.160 This academy was our backyard.

00:59:02.140 Going on that training ship and getting lost, sneaking into the pool, going to all the different places for nearly 30 years.

00:59:11.840 This was home.

00:59:12.740 And I want to tell you, I know what it takes to get where you are.

00:59:17.300 And I need you to listen to me very carefully.

00:59:19.640 I have four degrees.

00:59:21.600 My brother is a judge.

00:59:23.700 We're not the smartest ones in our family.

00:59:26.560 It's a third grade dropout daddy.

00:59:28.840 A third grade dropout daddy who was quoting Michelangelo when he was a cook at Cal Maritime.

00:59:34.480 Saying to us, boys, I won't have a problem if you aim high and miss.

00:59:37.620 But I'm going to have a real issue if you aim low and hit.

00:59:40.820 So here's his father who was a cook at this university years ago.

00:59:47.680 Had to drop out of his out of school because his family had been hit hard and he needed to help, you know, grow food and help at the house.

01:00:04.720 But his education, he fought for.

01:00:09.180 And listen to how he he reared these kids.

01:00:13.380 Be kind to people.

01:00:14.760 He always told us kind deeds are never lost.

01:00:16.760 I get to do a lot of NFL chapels.

01:00:19.000 You see some amazing things with those National Football League players.

01:00:22.220 You see guys that can bench press 200, 300 pounds 20 times.

01:00:26.040 You see folks that are huge that can run like a deer.

01:00:28.920 You see folks from a flat-footed position jump 40 inches, 40 inch vertical leap.

01:00:33.380 I even saw a white guy do it once.

01:00:34.960 But the point.

01:00:40.440 You know what stops me in my tracks?

01:00:42.220 When I see one of those rich folks show kindness, it literally stops the world.

01:00:49.100 George Washington Carver said,

01:00:50.460 When common people do common things in uncommon ways, they command the attention of the world I just described your grandmother.

01:00:59.360 Father, I know you're tough.

01:01:01.760 I know you're seaworthy.

01:01:03.000 But always remember to be kind.

01:01:05.020 Always.

01:01:05.740 Don't ever forget that.

01:01:07.420 Never embarrass mama.

01:01:10.020 Mm-hmm.

01:01:11.720 Yeah.

01:01:12.600 If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

01:01:15.520 If daddy ain't happy, don't nobody care.

01:01:17.180 But, you know, I'm going to tell you.

01:01:27.340 So there's a couple of things that happen politically that you should be aware of.

01:01:33.960 First of all, Sessions is getting a...

01:01:39.180 I mean, this story speaks volumes about people on the left and how the media on the left view people on the right.

01:01:48.740 Nine months into his tenure as the nation's top law enforcement official, the nuances of Jeff Sessions' civil rights policy are coming into focus.

01:01:56.180 As a senator from Alabama, Mr. Sessions had spoken out against same-sex marriage and voted against expanding federal hate crimes to protect transgender people.

01:02:08.060 And civil rights groups were livid when President Trump nominated him to be attorney general.

01:02:12.020 They predicted he would reverse policies on discrimination, police abuses, and other areas.

01:02:17.420 In many ways, Mr. Sessions has fulfilled those predictions.

01:02:20.500 However, the Justice Department has dispatched an experienced federal hate crimes lawyer to Iowa to help prosecute a man charged with murdering a transgender high school student last year.

01:02:33.760 A highly unusual move that officials say was personally initiated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

01:02:41.220 The man seems to care about prosecuting murders.

01:02:46.700 That's unbelievable.

01:02:47.580 He has possibly predicted this because this is not a white person.

01:02:51.920 This is not a white, straight, Christian male he's going after.

01:02:55.940 I thought that's all he was going to support.

01:02:57.780 That's all I thought he cared about.

01:02:59.100 I knew he was against murder, but I thought it was only for murder of white, Christian males.

01:03:04.920 That was my understanding.

01:03:06.040 Wow.

01:03:06.400 And now here he is.

01:03:07.160 That's what we voted for, wasn't it?

01:03:08.740 I thought so.

01:03:09.580 Yeah.

01:03:10.800 The case is terrible, of course.

01:03:13.260 A 16-year-old in Burlington, Iowa, was shot to death in March 2016.

01:03:17.740 Friends and family told local newspapers that he was gay.

01:03:21.600 He identified as both male and female and occasionally went by a female name.

01:03:26.920 The Justice Department lawyer will serve as a county prosecutor in the case.

01:03:32.480 And I guess this is one of those situations legally that is very odd, right?

01:03:38.020 You don't normally apply these sorts of resources to individual murder cases.

01:03:41.760 And what they're saying here basically is that seemingly Jeff Sessions is interested in applying the law to individual cases when they show real merit.

01:03:52.360 And he is not embracing the wider sort of systemic ideas where you're going to change laws to try to prevent these things in a larger sense.

01:04:03.380 He's taking each case as individual cases, but he's just as passionate of prosecuting and maybe even more passionate in prosecuting a transgender person getting murdered than the typical evil white, Christian male.

01:04:15.820 It's a pretty interesting story because the New York Times here, I would say it reads as they're sort of giving him credit.

01:04:22.540 Like, wow, he actually seems to give a crap about transgender people.

01:04:26.080 What does that say about us?

01:04:26.580 What does that say about the New York Times and how they view people who disagree with them?

01:04:36.100 For instance, gay marriage.

01:04:38.920 I'm for gay marriage because I'm a libertarian.

01:04:43.520 I don't think the government should be involved in marriage at all.

01:04:48.200 I get no value at all from a piece of paper issued by the government.

01:04:53.580 Yeah, but what about your town councilmen?

01:04:55.300 And when they know you're married, you feel real.

01:04:56.820 You're like, wow, they recognize me.

01:04:58.720 They know my love life, and I feel great about that, right?

01:05:01.720 However, at the same time, I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, and that's what my faith teaches me.

01:05:09.920 But I don't care what you do.

01:05:12.700 Don't tell me and my church what I have to do, and I'm not going to tell you what you have to do.

01:05:18.160 Keep it out of the federal government and government.

01:05:21.620 It has no place there.

01:05:23.540 That is between you and God, or you and a tree, or you and whatever.

01:05:30.300 It doesn't matter.

01:05:31.240 That's your business.

01:05:32.320 And I know, I'm guessing, that that is what Jeff Sessions is thinking, or was thinking when he was against gay marriage.

01:05:44.080 There's also something else that comes into play on this, and that is, it was a slippery slope.

01:05:50.660 It was to open the door for almost anything, and if you don't believe that, look at what's happening.

01:05:59.360 It was to be able to persecute people who don't believe in gay marriage.

01:06:05.720 And if you don't believe that, let me introduce you to a baker in Colorado, a baker in Oregon, a photographer in New Mexico.

01:06:15.480 What happened to their right?

01:06:20.500 We don't need additional laws.

01:06:23.600 And we don't need, I mean, I can't understand.

01:06:28.380 If somebody kills you, there's a higher level?

01:06:34.060 If they're killing you, intentionally killing you, because they didn't like the color of your skin, or they didn't like that you were a liberal, or a conservative, or gay, or straight, or Christian, or Muslim.

01:06:49.900 If there's additional crime to that, shouldn't the highest, shouldn't the highest problem that we have in our society is the murder, the hatred that's so deep, and it could be just because, you know, you've been jilted, but you gave into your hatred that was so deep that you thought the only way this can be cured is by killing another person.

01:07:17.560 Why do I need a hate crime for that?

01:07:19.060 Yeah, in the story, it says something like, you know, Mr. Sessions opposed rules that turned attacks against transgendered people based on their sexuality, it made those into a crime.

01:07:32.960 It's like, no, attacks were already a crime.

01:07:34.980 A crime.

01:07:35.420 Like, they're already a criminal action.

01:07:37.000 You kill this kid for any reason.

01:07:41.920 For any reason.

01:07:44.800 Yeah.

01:07:45.000 Now, I mean, this is an exceptional reason, but it just shows, you know, how crazy people can become.

01:07:55.300 And by not listening to each other, by not talking to each other.

01:07:59.740 I, you know, I was, I was, I was, um, in a meeting, um, yesterday morning in, um, our church council and, and we were going over the new Testament and I kept getting hung up on, I kept getting hung up on one place.

01:08:18.820 And I ended up not listening and I should have, but I got, I got, I got hung up in this place in first Peter where he's talking about, you know, the, the lively stones.

01:08:32.520 And if you, if you understand the, the, the, the way things were written and why things were written the way they were in, in the Bible, you know, that bricks are people that are all made by somebody powerful into being exactly alike.

01:08:55.820 It's why the Israelis or the Israelites were making bricks.

01:09:02.640 I mean, that story, they're making bricks because they're all slaves.

01:09:07.220 They're all the same.

01:09:08.600 They're interchangeable.

01:09:09.600 One dies.

01:09:10.380 It doesn't matter.

01:09:11.080 Go get another one.

01:09:13.160 But God created all of us as stones.

01:09:16.140 We're all unique.

01:09:18.440 And it doesn't matter.

01:09:19.940 It is human nature.

01:09:21.420 And it is the worst part of our human nature.

01:09:25.060 It is the part that is quite honestly, the enemy of man and the enemy of God, that part of our human nature that wants everyone else to believe and be just like we want them to be.

01:09:38.720 That doesn't work.

01:09:41.140 It doesn't work in marriage.

01:09:43.280 It doesn't work in life.

01:09:44.960 It doesn't work in society.

01:09:46.860 We are all stones.

01:09:48.600 We're all different.

01:09:49.500 And we say we should celebrate our differences.

01:09:52.860 But I don't think the people who say that actually believe that.

01:09:57.520 Because if you're different, if you believe something else, you don't even want to talk to them.

01:10:05.960 They don't want to talk to you.

01:10:07.380 You don't want to talk to them.

01:10:09.240 Well, how are we going to get anywhere?

01:10:10.540 If there was a spaceship going to Mars and Elon Musk said, okay, we're going to put a thousand people on this spaceship.

01:10:23.200 It's a big spaceship.

01:10:24.100 Have you seen his?

01:10:25.320 We're going to put a thousand people on this.

01:10:27.800 And this is going to restart Earth.

01:10:31.680 It is going to be the seed that we take the best of humanity and we're going to put it up on Mars so it can be another human colony.

01:10:43.940 Would we include would we would we just take scientists?

01:10:51.800 If this was going to restart us, would we just take scientists?

01:10:55.700 Would we just take people who are rocket scientists or or or or believe all in one thing?

01:11:08.200 Or would we also say, you know, if we're going to really have a human society, we should bring some painters along and a couple of people who can write and play music.

01:11:19.460 We should take some artists with us, maybe a poet or two.

01:11:24.060 Noah brought the duck billed platypus along, right?

01:11:27.120 I mean, you didn't just bring this the good animals, right?

01:11:30.660 We need all of it.

01:11:33.520 We need all of it.

01:11:35.060 And somehow or another, all of us have to learn how to get along.

01:11:46.520 Duck billed platypus is actually my favorite animal.

01:11:48.660 So I don't want to disparage it, but I just just is a reason why I loved it.

01:11:53.940 It's just a weird freaking thing.

01:11:55.820 And this is through a duck bill on this furry, weird.

01:11:58.680 I don't know what the heck it is.

01:12:00.020 I've always loved it, though.

01:12:01.360 And, you know, I don't want to disparage it, but it's true.

01:12:03.980 Right.

01:12:04.340 Like you didn't you got you got actual you didn't just have the the cute animals didn't make it on the arc.

01:12:08.880 They brought all of them.

01:12:10.180 We need to bring some stupid people on that spaceship as well.

01:12:12.920 You need the.

01:12:13.840 Well, I don't know that.

01:12:15.060 No, you need a bunch of adults on that thing.

01:12:17.160 You need to annoy people.

01:12:18.660 You know, life needs the predators.

01:12:21.160 Look what happened in.

01:12:22.060 Look what happened in.

01:12:25.100 What's it called?

01:12:25.960 Yellowstone.

01:12:26.760 When they when when they wanted to take the wolf out of Yellowstone.

01:12:30.120 Do you remember that?

01:12:30.840 You're not old enough.

01:12:31.640 They took the wolf out of Yellowstone and ship them all to Canada.

01:12:37.500 And this is going to be great.

01:12:40.280 No, no.

01:12:41.860 It totally destroyed the balance of nature.

01:12:44.640 They actually had to go reintroduce the what they had to go up in Canada and catch them and then reintroduce them.

01:12:52.560 Is this the where they put like 13 wolves back into the park and it like totally changed, changed everything for the for the for the good?

01:12:59.140 Yes, you need all of the animals.

01:13:03.080 Anyway, Casper has outdone themselves again.

01:14:33.660 He's remarkable.

01:14:34.980 And there's a lot of wisdom in Charlie Daniels.

01:14:40.500 I don't want to talk to him about.

01:14:42.860 I do want to talk to him about his past and the legends that he has met, met with and and been around and the influences on his life.

01:14:51.500 But I also want to talk to him about just finding your way.

01:16:12.860 Courage.

01:16:14.200 Truth.

01:16:15.500 Glenn Beck.

01:16:16.160 This morning, exhausted doctors are struggling to keep their eyes open.

01:16:19.260 They are frantically attending screaming patients.

01:16:23.540 Many burned beyond recognition who are continuously entering and exiting the hospital like a horrific revolving door.

01:16:31.120 These are victims of a double truck bombing that occurred Saturday in a crowded street in Mogadishu.

01:16:37.200 The deadly attack in Somalia, 300 lives and still counting.

01:16:41.040 This is sub-Saharan Africa, and it is not seen this level of violence since 1998 when they bombed the U.S. embassy.

01:16:50.600 The Somali government is blaming al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab, an extremist group for the bloodshed.

01:16:56.080 The Shabaab, which once controlled most of the cities, lost their territory in the area thanks to the Somali army and American counterterrorism operations.

01:17:05.340 However, it is still a deadly threat to the people of Somalia, and hundreds of people have been killed and wounded in the attacks on the capital this year alone.

01:17:15.700 The Somali president said,

01:17:17.560 I want to bring you a quick message.

01:17:31.000 The terror won't and can't win.

01:17:32.960 The good guys always win in the end.

01:17:35.540 And Shabaab, they're not good guys.

01:17:38.440 We will always be changing and challenging evil that is spread out worldwide.

01:17:48.320 But we and the good people in Somalia, the good people in Europe, the good people in Asia should take comfort that good wins in the end.

01:18:00.660 And our prayers go out to the people of Somalia today.

01:18:08.440 Monday, October 16th.

01:18:13.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:16.480 Charlie Daniels is in studio, and I just was having a chat with him, and I said,

01:18:22.020 I can't believe I'm sitting with Charlie Daniels, and he knows my name.

01:18:25.120 How are you, Charlie?

01:18:26.280 I'm good, buddy.

01:18:27.240 Good to be with you, sonor.

01:18:28.360 Yeah.

01:18:28.920 You haven't changed a bit.

01:18:30.620 I can't believe you're 80.

01:18:32.260 I'll be 81.

01:18:33.780 28th of this month, I'll be 81.

01:18:35.640 Unbelievable.

01:18:36.260 81 years old.

01:18:36.860 You don't look at it all.

01:18:37.760 Well, thank you very much.

01:18:38.660 You have had a remarkable life.

01:18:41.400 Oh, I have.

01:18:42.040 I've had a great life.

01:18:43.380 I wouldn't trade lives with anybody.

01:18:45.720 I've done what I want to do for a living for almost 60 years now, exactly what I want to do for a living, and that's a blessing.

01:18:52.280 And I will tell you, your book is, by the way, really good, and it's full of God and blessings, and I want to talk to you about it.

01:19:00.020 But the one thing that I didn't know is, at any point did you think, maybe God doesn't want me to play the fiddle or play the guitar because you lost a finger when you're graduating?

01:19:13.720 I did.

01:19:13.920 Your arms were almost pulled off from an auger?

01:19:18.020 I never thought, you know, I never thought that.

01:19:20.700 I thought he wanted me to get up and go on, you know, just beat it and get on with the program.

01:19:26.940 I did lose a finger in high school, but I lost it on my right hand.

01:19:30.760 If it had been my left hand, it had been the end of my career because that's the one I pushed the strings down with, I cored with.

01:19:36.040 But since I just used my other hand, my right hand, to hold a fiddle bow and a guitar pick, I was okay.

01:19:42.600 My arm that got tangled up in a post hole digger, it's like an auger that digs post holes in the ground, and my arm literally got wrapped up in it.

01:19:52.540 I had to bone out through the skin in a couple of places, and it was broken completely in two and three places.

01:19:57.860 And I never went, you know, a tractor, a lot of times, even after you turn it off, it'll hit another lid.

01:20:03.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:03.760 If it had done that, it would pull my arm off probably.

01:20:05.800 And I remember being down on my knees, and I said, help me, Lord.

01:20:08.540 And the guy that had a tractor, wasn't a tractor, he cut it off, and it stopped.

01:20:12.100 And he unwound my arm and took me to the hospital and get it put back together.

01:20:17.200 And that was the year.

01:20:18.160 That was 1980.

01:20:18.980 That was the year.

01:20:19.580 1980, that was the hottest.

01:20:20.420 The height of your career.

01:20:21.300 The hottest time of my career.

01:20:22.600 We had just done double, went down to Georgia.

01:20:24.420 We'd take about four months off.

01:20:25.960 Most frustrating time of my life.

01:20:27.880 Oh, I bet it was.

01:20:28.960 But I learned something.

01:20:29.920 I learned during that four months, I did nothing.

01:20:33.000 And when I got back on my feet again and really started, you know, where I could move around, I was in such terrible condition.

01:20:39.260 I could only walk about 100 yards.

01:20:40.740 I said, this ain't going to do.

01:20:42.400 And I started walking 110 yards and 120 yards.

01:20:46.400 And so, anyway, I've worked up to where I was doing a good level of exercise.

01:20:51.560 And I have maintained that ever since then.

01:20:54.380 So, I think I needed that time in my life to reassess taking care of myself.

01:21:01.680 And I've tried to do that a lot better since then.

01:21:03.840 So, in 1980, you were at your height.

01:21:07.580 Devil went down to Georgia.

01:21:08.940 I mean, it's crazy.

01:21:10.460 You see, the record industry is still the record industry.

01:21:16.720 And then things start to soften and your ticket prices go down.

01:21:22.960 And you realize, not only are we not rolling in the cash, I owe $2 million.

01:21:29.080 That's right.

01:21:31.140 That's another lesson I learned.

01:21:32.560 I kind of let that happen over a period of time.

01:21:34.900 And I got involved in a lot of businesses I should not have been involved in that were peripheral things to the music business that I knew nothing about.

01:21:44.860 The first thing I knew were $2 million in debt.

01:21:48.180 And I said, we have got to do something about this.

01:21:50.740 And we had to take – we took a lot of dates back then in every old smoky type place you can find just for a payday, just to keep the payments up.

01:21:58.440 And I said my prayers and put on my hat and my boots and picked up my guitar and my fiddle and we hit the road.

01:22:06.660 And the day that we got our debts paid off, we have annual Christmas party with our company, with our employees, and we took the notes out in the yard and burned them, which was very symbolic to me.

01:22:18.640 I was so glad to get rid of them.

01:22:19.840 But, yeah, that was another lesson I learned.

01:22:21.300 It's a different way of looking at the world because, I mean, now I feel like when people struggle and they have these problems, they're blaming other people.

01:22:28.240 They're having – they want other people to step in and cover their losses.

01:22:31.920 You thought, maybe if I just work my butt off.

01:22:34.760 Well, it's my fault.

01:22:35.740 You know, I'll take responsibility for my actions.

01:22:37.900 I have to.

01:22:39.120 Again, what language are you speaking?

01:22:42.600 You can tell how old he is just by that statement.

01:22:46.300 Well, you know, I think you're a miserable person.

01:22:48.440 If you're going to blame everything on somebody else, you have no control over your life.

01:22:52.340 That's ridiculous.

01:22:53.120 You want to see your enemy, go look in the mirror.

01:22:55.400 Start there.

01:22:56.300 And then you kind of work your way around and find out what the rest of the problems are.

01:22:59.520 But basically, I'll take responsibility for most all the bad things that ever happened to me.

01:23:05.020 The good things are the blessings of God.

01:23:06.860 The bad things are my fault.

01:23:08.160 Yeah.

01:23:08.300 If there's one person I could go back in time and meet, they would be the only man I ever saw my grandfather stand up and give a standing ovation to when he walked out on stage.

01:23:28.860 And it was Johnny Cash.

01:23:30.360 Wow.

01:23:30.840 Yeah.

01:23:31.540 Johnny Cash was bigger than life.

01:23:33.320 And when he walked in a room, I mean, he just, you just could not ignore him.

01:23:39.000 I, when I first went to Nashville in 67, I was just another young man with a guitar that showed up the music business to try to make it into business and music city to try to make it into business.

01:23:48.300 And you don't run into many superstars at that stage of your career.

01:23:51.520 But I did run into him several times around town.

01:23:55.860 And he went, he didn't know who I was.

01:23:57.680 It'd make a difference who you were.

01:23:59.640 It was like every time you'd see him, it was a handshake.

01:24:02.640 And how you doing, man?

01:24:03.540 How's it going?

01:24:04.340 And yak, yak, and back and forth.

01:24:05.940 And I'm standing there with my mouth up and saying, I'm talking to Johnny Cash.

01:24:09.240 I worked for a guy that used to produce Johnny Cash, a guy named Bob Johnston.

01:24:13.220 And I'd run an errand for him once in a while.

01:24:15.060 I'd take a tape to Johnny or something, you know.

01:24:16.980 And usually all he had to do was spank a kid and walk on off.

01:24:19.980 But he didn't do that.

01:24:20.820 He always took time to be conversational.

01:24:23.440 I'll never in my life forget what that meant to me and what an encouragement it was.

01:24:28.620 And your granddad had good taste.

01:24:30.720 He did.

01:24:31.480 He honored a great man.

01:24:32.720 Yeah.

01:24:33.220 I remember being, I mean, up to his knee.

01:24:36.900 And I remember seeing, it was at a state fair.

01:24:41.120 And I remember seeing the bus pull up to the back and his guy in black get out.

01:24:46.300 And he walked out.

01:24:49.600 And my grandfather stood up erect and gave him a standing ovation.

01:24:55.020 And I remember not looking at the stage.

01:24:56.580 I remember looking up at my grandfather and seeing his face of admiration of him.

01:25:01.760 Oh, he was, he was, he was great man.

01:25:03.440 No doubt about it.

01:25:04.300 Great artist.

01:25:04.960 Great man.

01:25:05.820 You know, he was, they had to, they did a thing.

01:25:08.020 It was called the top 40 all time country music man or something like that.

01:25:12.840 I can't remember the exact title of it.

01:25:14.780 But I thought Hank Williams would come in at number one.

01:25:17.660 Number one was Johnny Cash.

01:25:19.280 Yeah.

01:25:19.400 Who out of all of the people, I mean, you've worked with everyone and you've been around everybody.

01:25:25.520 I mean, you're what, in 19, what, 73, you're with Ringo Starr and they're joking about you want to be in the Beatles.

01:25:32.900 I mean, what are the, who, who made the lasting impression on you?

01:25:38.580 Who is the one that you learned the most from?

01:25:41.560 You know, I, we go, go back to the, the Johnny Cash's and, and those, but of course Johnny, you had to admire Johnny Cash.

01:25:49.760 He overcomes so many adversities in his life and he just kept going.

01:25:56.820 And the greatest thing that ever happened to Johnny Cash was June Carter because she was such an influence on his life.

01:26:02.740 But as far as who impressed me was concerned, I came along when I came along as bluegrass,

01:26:07.680 it was Flat and Scruggs and Bill Monroe and Reno and Smiley.

01:26:12.080 And I didn't want to hear nothing else.

01:26:13.240 That's all I wanted to hear.

01:26:14.400 And about the time Elvis came along, he made it possible for country boys to play rock music.

01:26:19.820 Before then it was big horn sections and, you know, the, the, that kind of thing.

01:26:24.760 And Elvis come up with two guitars and a bass and drums and started playing rock music.

01:26:28.840 And everybody said, I want to do that.

01:26:30.660 You know, I remember Glenn when I was in, I think it was a senior in high school.

01:26:37.140 And we'd taken a trip down to Silver Springs, Florida.

01:26:40.640 We were touring around as a, you know, school trip.

01:26:43.520 I remember seeing a great big placard and it was a big country music package show.

01:26:49.820 And it was the Lubin brothers and Hank Snow and yadda-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da and down at the bottom.

01:26:54.520 And type about a size of almost like typewriter print.

01:26:58.740 It said Jimmy Rogers Snow and Elvis Presley.

01:27:02.440 And nobody knew who he was.

01:27:03.620 First time I ever heard him, I hated him.

01:27:05.020 He was on the Midnight Jamboree, the, uh, the, uh, the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree.

01:27:10.040 It comes on after the Grand Ole Opry and he sang Blue Moon in Kentucky.

01:27:13.820 And it was my, I was a Bill Monroe fanatic.

01:27:16.940 And this guy sang Bill, one of Bill Monroe's signature songs.

01:27:20.000 And he sang it that, oh, well, you know, you know how I say it.

01:27:22.840 And I thought, who the hell, I'll never hear from him again.

01:27:25.500 That's the last thing he'll ever do.

01:27:27.160 It took him on that tour I was talking about, took him all of about two weeks to became the most popular thing on the tour.

01:27:33.060 Where everybody, nobody could follow him.

01:27:35.020 And it got to where everybody would, they'd go in there and everybody started, oh, Elvis, Elvis.

01:27:38.820 And, you know, Hank Snow, who was a great big artist at the time.

01:27:42.420 Lumen Brothers were big artists at the time.

01:27:44.300 But everybody wanted to hear this new guy that nobody had ever heard of named Elvis.

01:27:48.820 We're with Charlie.

01:27:49.900 He was a big influence on me, I'm what I was going to say.

01:27:53.120 We, uh, we're talking to Charlie Daniels.

01:27:55.040 Uh, the name of the book is Never Look at the Empty Seats.

01:27:57.940 A couple of other things I want to talk to him about.

01:27:59.520 And we'll continue our conversation here in a second.

01:28:01.140 From the October 1st Business Insider, legendary investor Jim Rogers had this to say in regards to fear, gold, and the sector to be bullish on.

01:28:11.040 He said, quote, everyone should own coins, physical coins, as an insurance policy and as an emergency.

01:28:16.740 If nothing else, you hope you never need them.

01:28:19.760 But you've got to start by owning gold coins, coins that are recognized all over the world.

01:28:24.800 History has proven time and time again that it always returns to gold.

01:28:28.900 There's something else that, um, I just read about this weekend in, um, uh, Puerto Rico.

01:28:37.620 Nobody thought of this.

01:28:39.260 They have no power.

01:28:40.880 They have no power.

01:28:42.600 You also have no cash.

01:28:44.420 You, everything is digitized.

01:28:46.500 You might want to have, uh, some cash on hand and be able to have something of real value that is, um, is lasting.

01:28:56.780 The world always returns to gold, durable, easy to transport, looks the same everywhere.

01:29:03.480 Weight grade.

01:29:04.560 In short, it is the insurance against a catastrophe.

01:29:08.660 Call 866-GOLD-LINE right now and find out about their price guarantee program.

01:29:13.040 Also read their important risk information.

01:29:18.780 1-866-GOLD-LINE.com.

01:29:22.100 Glenn Beck.

01:29:32.200 Glenn Beck.

01:29:34.340 The legendary Charlie Daniels is with us.

01:29:38.340 Uh, name of his book, Never Look at the Empty Seats.

01:29:42.100 Uh, we have time.

01:29:43.700 I got to get him to tell that story in the book on why he named it that.

01:29:47.280 It's a great, great lesson.

01:29:49.460 Uh, Charlie, I was, um, uh, I was impressed by, uh, what you, uh, talked about with your dad, um, and describing your dad.

01:29:59.220 And in some ways I'm an alcoholic and you described me in, in many ways, your dad was not a, a wino.

01:30:09.040 When you think of alcoholic, you think of a washed up stumble bomb.

01:30:12.680 Yeah.

01:30:13.060 Yeah.

01:30:13.300 Uh, my dad was probably one of the top five people in pine timber in the Southeast.

01:30:22.280 He could look at a pine tree.

01:30:23.640 He could tell you what kind of pole or piling it would make, how many feet of lumber it would make.

01:30:27.820 And his millions of dollars changed hands on nothing more than his word.

01:30:32.340 He would go cruise a tractor temporary, come back and say, this is worth so many thousands of dollars.

01:30:36.620 They just paid it for it because they knew his word was good.

01:30:39.460 He had this problem with alcohol and it truly is a sickness.

01:30:43.360 Uh, and he would go for as long as five years, never touch a drop of liquor, but he always said, I'm one drink away from a drunk.

01:30:50.920 Yeah.

01:30:51.140 If I take the first one, I'm finished.

01:30:52.860 And somehow, some way he would take that first one.

01:30:57.040 It was like several weeks of, you know, to get straightened out.

01:31:00.120 He would lose jobs, but he would always, he always had a job waiting for him because it's just that good.

01:31:05.240 Even people that he'd worked for before that had fired him would hire him back again.

01:31:09.520 So my point was when I was trying to get the point across, and that's what was a hard thing for me to talk about.

01:31:14.940 Because usually when you say alcoholic, somebody thinks about some stumble bun, you know, walking around looking for a money to borrow from somebody to get a drink.

01:31:24.360 But dad wasn't that way at all.

01:31:25.940 He was always loving.

01:31:27.260 He always took care of his family.

01:31:28.680 He was very responsible.

01:31:30.020 You know something, Glenn?

01:31:31.060 I used to go to AA meetings with him and I met a lot of alcoholics.

01:31:34.560 I have never seen one sorry alcoholic.

01:31:37.640 I've seen a lot of sorry old drunks.

01:31:40.080 But I mean, literally, the people that I met at his meetings, I met him, they were businessmen.

01:31:44.660 They were responsible people that had that problem, you know, that had that alcoholic problem.

01:31:51.420 If you can beat it, it gives you quite perspective on life.

01:32:00.500 I mean, some of the best people I've ever met are alcoholics.

01:32:04.620 I've been surprised at some people that have told me they were alcoholics.

01:32:07.760 So, Charlie, you know, the thing that I'm searching for right now in my own life is that what matters most, you know, with all of the stuff that is going on in the world and all of the things we're arguing on and bickering on and everything else.

01:32:22.980 As you look back, out of all the things that you have done and seen and learned, what matters most to you?

01:32:31.700 There's four things that rule my life.

01:32:34.900 God, first of all, family, secondly, my nation, my country, the way I feel about it, the way I want it to be.

01:32:44.740 And my work, it's just four things.

01:32:48.620 I try to concentrate on those four things.

01:32:51.080 And as long as I do that, I keep a good perspective.

01:32:53.660 When I start getting sidelined by something somebody else is doing or something that really aggravates me, it takes time.

01:33:01.580 I found out it takes just as much time to think a negative thought as it does think a positive thought.

01:33:06.680 And I try to live in a positive world.

01:33:09.340 I got a lot of things that I really enjoy doing.

01:33:11.500 This writing is something I didn't even know I could do.

01:33:13.940 Yeah, it's really good.

01:33:15.020 You know, I didn't know I could do.

01:33:16.520 It's just another talent God gave me that took me a long time to discover.

01:33:21.820 I wrote on this book for 20 years.

01:33:24.040 And I was just making notes and stuff.

01:33:25.680 And all of a sudden, I said, well, I'm going to make a book out of this.

01:33:28.620 And I could never find a place to end it because my life went on.

01:33:32.100 I didn't get invited to join the Grand Ole Opry until I was in my 70s.

01:33:35.880 So interesting things kept happening.

01:33:37.780 And I kept writing.

01:33:38.900 And I could never find a place to end it until I was told I was going to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

01:33:43.940 And I thought, what a great place to end it.

01:33:46.400 So the night I was inducted, the next morning, I sat down.

01:33:49.500 I wrote the ending.

01:33:50.400 And I kind of backfilled where I was.

01:33:52.060 And I had the book.

01:33:53.240 And you asked me about the title.

01:33:55.540 The title, when you're a young musician, if you're serious about it, and I was, you'll play anywhere you can for anybody that's there for anything they'll give you.

01:34:03.220 And you're going to see a lot of empty seats because nobody knows who you are.

01:34:06.800 But if you'll please those people, you forget the empty seats.

01:34:09.640 You concentrate on the ones who accentuate the positive, as the old song says.

01:34:13.600 If you concentrate on them, the next time you go back to town, those people are going to say, hey, that guy's pretty good.

01:34:18.460 Hey, let's go see him.

01:34:19.720 And they'll bring somebody with them.

01:34:21.040 That's how you build a following.

01:34:22.280 And I keep trying to tell these young guys this, you know, all the time.

01:34:26.120 When you walk on that stage, you give them the best you got.

01:34:29.880 If your dog died, if your girlfriend left you, whatever the heck happened, they didn't pay.

01:34:34.220 That's not the ticket price.

01:34:35.640 They deserve a show.

01:34:36.580 Go give them a show.

01:34:37.300 So that's what the title's about.

01:34:41.180 You, um, my father was about your age.

01:34:46.700 Uh, he's, he would be probably 85, 86 now if he were alive.

01:34:52.100 And he said to me, you know, I've seen a lot of things in my life.

01:34:56.360 Didn't expect that we would ever go to the moon when I was growing up.

01:35:00.060 And, uh, he said, uh, I'm glad my time is past because I, I worry about how you're going

01:35:09.140 to navigate the future.

01:35:11.100 Do you worry that?

01:35:12.840 Well, I, I have a son.

01:35:14.800 I only got one boy.

01:35:16.080 He's, he's 53 years old and, uh, he's got a pretty good handle on it.

01:35:23.140 Now the grandkids, uh, I don't know how this, I would literally hate to grow up in the world.

01:35:29.000 Yeah.

01:35:29.820 Nowadays, because I, it's a world Glenn.

01:35:31.940 I don't understand the world anymore.

01:35:33.640 I don't understand how it works.

01:35:34.740 I don't understand what motivates people.

01:35:36.700 I feel that, uh, a lot of people in this country either don't know or don't care where

01:35:44.180 we came from and how we got here and the blood that was shed and the sacrifices that

01:35:49.100 were made to get us to where we are.

01:35:50.680 And I'm an old world war, war two guy.

01:35:53.020 I remember Dave Pearl Harbor was bombed.

01:35:55.280 My city that I came from Wilmington, North Carolina.

01:35:58.160 It's a seaport town.

01:35:59.580 We had oil tankers and cargo boats that went across the ocean, you know, service our troops

01:36:04.460 and they were sunk several of them just off our beaches by German U-boats that were out

01:36:09.900 there.

01:36:10.160 So we took the war very seriously and I learned, and I'll say this on stage every night, only

01:36:14.640 two things protect America.

01:36:16.040 It's the grace of almighty God in the United States military and Charlie.

01:36:20.240 I love you.

01:36:21.200 I love you too.

01:36:21.660 Thank you so much.

01:36:22.340 The name of the book is Never Look at the Empty Seats.

01:36:25.180 Well worth the price of admission.

01:36:27.080 Charlie Daniels.

01:36:27.800 Thank you.

01:36:29.480 Glenn Beck.

01:36:30.480 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:36:46.300 So Dana Lash had a tweet storm this weekend.

01:36:50.900 Spent my weekend preparing to move due to repeated threats from gun control advocates.

01:36:55.440 One guy hunted down my private cell phone number, called when the police were here, threatened

01:37:01.820 to shoot me in my front yard.

01:37:04.540 Another guy created a string of social media accounts, posted photos of my house, threatened

01:37:08.960 to rape me to death.

01:37:10.540 Another gun control advocate, after threatened to hunt me down and assault me, dragged my kids

01:37:14.840 into it.

01:37:15.760 I'm grateful that my kids' school work with law enforcement and private security to ensure

01:37:20.780 campus safety and work with me.

01:37:22.660 I've only ever discussed these issues kind of vaguely.

01:37:25.840 More I can't discuss.

01:37:27.620 I and other Second Amendment women are sexually threatened regularly.

01:37:30.820 I'm not sad, just determined.

01:37:32.740 Maybe someday people will drop the ideological boundaries and not cherry pick concern.

01:37:37.700 Maybe someday.

01:37:40.840 That's it's really comfort comforting to find out how inclusive, diverse and loving the left

01:37:47.220 is.

01:37:47.680 Pat Gray joins us.

01:37:49.400 It's good to see it.

01:37:50.800 It just kind of warms the cockles of your heart.

01:37:53.260 At least it would if I hadn't had my cockles removed.

01:37:55.940 It's been a while since I've had cockles.

01:37:58.380 Surgically.

01:37:58.920 Yeah.

01:37:59.240 Surgically removed.

01:38:00.260 Yeah.

01:38:01.160 Yeah.

01:38:01.560 They don't come out just by wishing them out.

01:38:03.880 You got to cut into it.

01:38:05.220 Did you get ice cream for the week after you had your cockles removed?

01:38:09.020 I did.

01:38:09.460 I had icicles.

01:38:11.900 Icicles.

01:38:12.400 Yeah.

01:38:12.700 Okay.

01:38:13.600 Popsicles.

01:38:14.140 Right.

01:38:14.340 And icicles.

01:38:14.800 And icicles.

01:38:15.800 It was winter when I had them removed.

01:38:17.520 Right.

01:38:17.760 Okay.

01:38:17.980 So they let me suck an icicle.

01:38:20.860 Right.

01:38:21.580 But it's amazing to see how these things happen when they're threats to a woman who has been

01:38:27.380 defending our Second Amendment rights publicly.

01:38:29.980 It doesn't matter.

01:38:30.880 It doesn't matter.

01:38:31.640 They don't care at all.

01:38:32.160 No one seemed to care.

01:38:32.900 They don't care.

01:38:33.680 I think I saw.

01:38:34.320 Did I see this correctly?

01:38:35.200 That Chelsea Clinton actually responded to Dana and said, hey, you know, following this

01:38:41.240 and we, you know, think it's really horrible.

01:38:43.200 Like she actually seemed like that.

01:38:44.480 That's true.

01:38:44.920 To her.

01:38:45.260 I mean, that's.

01:38:45.740 To her credit.

01:38:46.320 To her credit.

01:38:46.780 But yeah, I mean, but I mean, it's credit where credit's due.

01:38:48.960 Yes.

01:38:49.080 This is rare, however, and it's very, it shouldn't be.

01:38:52.040 Yeah.

01:38:52.600 Well, because people just think they don't see you as human anymore.

01:38:55.960 We're talking a lot of this with Jeff Sessions.

01:38:58.000 My gosh, he's defending somebody who killed a transgendered kid.

01:39:02.380 Yes, of course he is.

01:39:04.220 Of course he is.

01:39:05.660 Yeah.

01:39:05.860 He's prosecuting.

01:39:07.340 Yeah.

01:39:07.600 Prosecuting.

01:39:08.040 So, you know, here we, we sit with, with Dana getting threats so bad that she has to move.

01:39:17.420 And what does the left think?

01:39:19.340 They don't care.

01:39:20.720 She deserves it.

01:39:21.620 Not at all.

01:39:22.220 Yeah.

01:39:22.380 They don't care.

01:39:23.220 It's, you know, and she's a woman.

01:39:24.660 And right now, supposedly, they're all concerned about women's rights.

01:39:29.720 And if, if it had been a black conservative, they wouldn't be black enough.

01:39:33.600 And they'd be screaming about, you're not, you're not, you're not really a black person.

01:39:39.400 You're a sellout.

01:39:40.460 You just, if you're a minority or a woman, you just can't have that position.

01:39:44.560 Yeah, and this was, her tweet storm was in response to this Me Too campaign, which is

01:39:49.340 essentially people say, you know, now that Harvey Weinstein's in the news and there's

01:39:52.420 all sorts of sexual assault, women are coming and confessing their stories about when they've

01:39:56.540 been sexually harassed at work.

01:39:57.800 And not by Me Too, Me Too.

01:39:59.520 Not by Harvey.

01:40:00.060 Not necessarily Harvey Weinstein.

01:40:00.820 No, by their own Harvey Weinstein, they keep saying.

01:40:03.440 It's an interesting thing where, like, the left is saying that this is a big issue.

01:40:06.660 And obviously, certainly with Weinstein it is.

01:40:08.700 And this is obviously more widespread than just that.

01:40:11.860 But at the same time, they're fighting to take women's ability to defend themselves

01:40:16.480 away.

01:40:17.680 I mean, if anything, if you, if you understand the society as one that is rampant with sexual

01:40:23.720 assault by predators that are much stronger than women, isn't this a great time to argue

01:40:28.720 for Second Amendment rights for women?

01:40:30.320 They should be able to defend themselves more easily.

01:40:32.740 Maybe they should be able to defend themselves with firearms in these situations and maybe less

01:40:37.500 of them would happen.

01:40:38.040 Especially when Weinstein allegedly raped at least three of them.

01:40:42.200 Yeah.

01:40:42.380 And I think four now.

01:40:43.560 I think at least five.

01:40:44.320 Have you seen the list?

01:40:45.300 It is.

01:40:45.640 It is long.

01:40:47.240 Staggering.

01:40:47.840 Well, it sounds like virtually everybody.

01:40:49.700 I mean, everybody who came in his office, he tried to get with.

01:40:52.000 I mean, it's, it's bad.

01:40:54.020 Yeah.

01:40:54.360 Yeah.

01:40:54.620 And there's all these, there was the Courtney Love thing we played earlier.

01:40:57.780 Can we play that again, please?

01:40:58.860 Do we have that in hand?

01:40:59.500 This is 2005.

01:41:00.480 Tell me, you know, Hillary Clinton on the BBC over the weekend saying, I had no idea.

01:41:04.440 I've never even heard these rumors.

01:41:06.440 Right.

01:41:06.620 2005.

01:41:07.960 Listen to this.

01:41:08.800 Hi, Comic Central.

01:41:09.840 Do you have any advice for a young girl moving to Hollywood?

01:41:14.260 Um, I'll get a lot of it.

01:41:17.840 Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party at his hotel room in the Four Seasons.

01:41:25.700 Don't go.

01:41:26.840 That's 2005.

01:41:28.540 Wow.

01:41:29.040 That's as clear as you could possibly imagine.

01:41:31.920 Yeah.

01:41:32.080 Well, and it's one person after another.

01:41:34.500 Yeah.

01:41:34.960 And they've, they've said it at the Oscars.

01:41:36.900 They've, they've said it at the Emmys.

01:41:38.860 There've been jokes about it on primetime TV shows.

01:41:42.080 No, they did not make jokes.

01:41:43.660 They did make jokes.

01:41:44.400 No, you cannot joke about this.

01:41:46.680 Wait a minute.

01:41:47.180 Hang on.

01:41:47.540 No.

01:41:48.140 Wait.

01:41:48.480 Weren't you just last week saying along with the rest of society, how dare them avoid

01:41:57.960 all jokes on Saturday Night Live and everything else?

01:42:01.380 All the late night shows.

01:42:02.160 They weren't joking about this.

01:42:03.700 They would not joke about this last week.

01:42:05.760 And that was wrong.

01:42:06.940 And now you can't joke about this because that would be wrong.

01:42:11.140 The Al Michaels thing is unbelievable.

01:42:13.740 Here, play Al Michaels, please.

01:42:15.900 Manning throws.

01:42:17.080 And that is knocked down by Bradley Roby.

01:42:20.620 I mean, let's face it.

01:42:21.280 The Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein.

01:42:25.300 And they're up by 14 points.

01:42:27.880 Come on.

01:42:28.580 I mean, my L.A. guy comes up with that one.

01:42:30.760 Well, you know.

01:42:31.180 There you go.

01:42:32.160 All you have to do is read the papers.

01:42:33.780 Any paper.

01:42:35.100 I'm sorry.

01:42:35.860 That is completely harmless.

01:42:37.720 That's a good joke.

01:42:38.740 That's a great joke.

01:42:39.880 It's a nice.

01:42:40.400 That's a good joke.

01:42:41.100 It's a nice current reference.

01:42:43.160 Yeah.

01:42:43.520 Yeah.

01:42:43.660 He's tying it.

01:42:44.240 He's the best in the business.

01:42:45.580 Yeah.

01:42:45.820 And he knows how to do this without being offensive.

01:42:47.920 That's not offensive.

01:42:48.980 It's not offensive at all.

01:42:49.800 But later in the game, this happened.

01:42:52.020 Back in Denver.

01:42:52.780 Sorry, I made a reference earlier before.

01:42:54.300 Sorry, I made a little flip about somebody obviously very much in the news all over the country

01:42:58.960 and was not meant in that manner.

01:43:01.980 Stop it.

01:43:02.500 So my apologies.

01:43:05.340 And we'll just leave it at that.

01:43:07.980 We'll leave it at that.

01:43:08.800 Yeah.

01:43:08.900 Yeah.

01:43:09.000 Yeah.

01:43:10.060 Oh, sorry, Al.

01:43:10.720 You can't leave it at that.

01:43:11.900 No.

01:43:12.180 We're going to persecute you until you're drummed out of your position now.

01:43:15.780 We're just going to yell and scream about it until you just can't announce games anymore.

01:43:20.360 I mean, it's ridiculous.

01:43:21.180 I know they're going to do that.

01:43:22.200 Are people arguing that Harvey Weinstein had a good week?

01:43:25.020 Like, I don't know.

01:43:25.920 Is there an argument to be made for that?

01:43:27.560 I don't think so.

01:43:28.520 And what if they had joked about it on Saturday Night Live?

01:43:31.340 That would be cool.

01:43:32.780 They did joke about it on Saturday Night Live.

01:43:35.140 Did they finally this weekend?

01:43:36.100 Yeah, they did.

01:43:36.780 They finally did.

01:43:37.420 Oh, wow.

01:43:37.440 They did.

01:43:37.720 And then James Corden as well.

01:43:40.320 James Corden came out and made, if you have that audio, he made some jokes about Harvey Weinstein as well.

01:43:45.180 Oh, well, he's sacred.

01:43:46.420 He's sacred.

01:43:46.880 Is he?

01:43:47.240 Yes.

01:43:47.420 No, he's not.

01:43:48.400 No, I thought it was the opposite.

01:43:50.400 James Corden isn't sacred?

01:43:52.140 I know.

01:43:52.700 Listen.

01:43:53.360 Right here in LA, it's so beautiful, Weinstein has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage.

01:44:02.860 They're all, like, groaning.

01:44:04.060 I don't know whether that groan was that you like that joke or you don't like that joke.

01:44:08.320 If you don't like that joke, you should probably leave now.

01:44:12.980 It has been weird this week, though, hasn't it?

01:44:15.220 Watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.

01:44:17.920 Ask any of the women who watched him take a bath.

01:44:20.440 It's weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.

01:44:24.380 Harvey Weinstein wanted to come tonight, but he'll settle for whatever potted plant is closest.

01:44:30.540 Come on, now.

01:44:31.380 These are fantastic jokes.

01:44:33.380 That's funny.

01:44:34.600 I don't care who we are.

01:44:35.640 That's funny.

01:44:36.080 These are great jokes.

01:44:36.720 It doesn't mean, I mean, if anything, it means it shows that we care more, and we're taking this very seriously.

01:44:43.080 That one way you take something seriously is completely mock it to death.

01:44:46.920 It's how we deal with things.

01:44:48.640 Yes.

01:44:49.340 It's how you kind of get through these trying times.

01:44:53.380 He's joking about it.

01:44:54.440 I'm so tired of the word and feeling police.

01:44:57.540 I can't take it.

01:44:58.540 I know.

01:44:59.040 I mean, do you remember a time when we said, back in the 90s, this political correctness stuff has got to stop because there will be a time where you can't say anything.

01:45:11.920 Welcome to that time.

01:45:15.380 Welcome to it.

01:45:16.440 And if I could just remind you of what everybody said, oh, don't be ridiculous, you and your slippery slope.

01:45:22.440 Yeah.

01:45:23.340 The slippery slope has a name because it's a really good observation.

01:45:27.760 You start to go down a hill, and then you slip and go all the way down to the bottom.

01:45:33.480 Yeah.

01:45:33.660 It doesn't always happen.

01:45:34.920 There's a lot of times that people are worried about slippery slopes, but it doesn't get there.

01:45:37.780 But with speech right now, it's bizarre.

01:45:40.060 Yeah.

01:45:40.160 The problem is there's no more slopes.

01:45:41.940 We're down all of them.

01:45:42.720 We're down at the bottom of every one of them.

01:45:45.500 No, no, no.

01:45:45.920 Woody Allen said this weekend he hopes that you can still wink at a woman in the office.

01:45:52.900 Oh, my gosh.

01:45:53.460 I hope so.

01:45:53.920 No, you can't do that.

01:45:54.560 I hope so.

01:45:55.020 No.

01:45:55.300 No.

01:45:55.520 That's done.

01:45:56.500 No.

01:45:56.700 You can't even look at a woman in the office.

01:45:59.240 But wait a minute.

01:45:59.720 I read that, and I thought, why would you be winking at a woman in the office?

01:46:05.980 I mean, why?

01:46:07.880 Why would you be doing that?

01:46:10.120 You're like looking at them going, hey, baby.

01:46:11.960 Hey, baby.

01:46:12.580 That's what a wink says, unless you're in on a joke, and you're like, yeah, Bob, you haven't

01:46:20.500 heard?

01:46:21.400 Yeah.

01:46:21.740 The whole neighborhood where you live in burned down, wink, wink.

01:46:29.140 No.

01:46:29.720 The dude's married to his daughter, so he's not the right messenger for this particular

01:46:33.480 point.

01:46:36.080 Well, it's gotten to the point where you can't marry your daughter.

01:46:39.760 Are we really at that place?

01:46:41.640 But I think what he's saying here is that there is a slope, right, where, and we're seeing

01:46:49.560 this.

01:46:49.800 We had some stuff pulled from the web, maybe we'll do this later in the week, but where

01:46:55.080 it's going to be impossible.

01:46:56.780 Like how, you know, in Woody Allen's world, right, winking is an old-timey way that you

01:47:03.680 flirt, right?

01:47:04.960 And can you flirt?

01:47:07.240 Hang on.

01:47:07.680 Can I just ask?

01:47:09.880 Does anyone wink anymore?

01:47:12.000 Is that a flirt?

01:47:13.080 Is that something that people are like?

01:47:14.800 I don't think I've winked since 1981.

01:47:17.000 It's very creepy and weird.

01:47:18.640 Yeah, it's weird.

01:47:19.620 It's weird.

01:47:20.520 But I mean, again, this is a guy who's married to his daughter, so he probably thinks this

01:47:23.960 is the right thing to do.

01:47:24.700 Yes, he's like, that's classy.

01:47:27.660 That's the way you do it.

01:47:30.020 So he's going through this, and I think there is a world here, right, where you have to look

01:47:37.220 at that, because normal humor interaction has to be allowed.

01:47:41.500 We've seen this with the college situation, the quote-unquote rape culture, that 27 out

01:47:46.840 of every eight women get raped every day.

01:47:50.300 Legitimately, we've come to a place where the president of the United States was,

01:47:54.420 quoting a statistic saying that the rape problem on campus is worse than the Rwandan genocide,

01:47:59.980 and that is taken seriously in the media, as if that's humanly possible.

01:48:04.420 It's obviously a ridiculous statistic, right?

01:48:06.360 And that has gone so far that normal interactions where the woman will even say, actually, no,

01:48:13.980 I agreed with this, this was consensual, and the man will still get suspended from school

01:48:19.800 and get in trouble and be labeled a sexual predator.

01:48:23.980 It's happened to a lot of people.

01:48:24.920 So the slippery slope works that way as well, and while Woody Allen is definitely not the

01:48:30.660 right person to bring that argument.

01:48:32.000 It's like you can't read Good Night Moon to your date.

01:48:43.100 It's like you can't tuck her into bed while thinking you are my sunshine.

01:48:49.460 And you're snuggled up, pulling up an episode of Peppa Pig.

01:48:52.460 Like, what's wrong with this world?

01:49:05.840 Pat Gray has more of that coming up on Pat Gray Unleashed in just a few moments on the

01:49:10.860 Blaze Radio Network and the Blaze TV Network.

01:49:13.760 Holy cow.

01:49:14.900 Anyone paying attention knows now is the time to prepare.

01:49:20.280 Saying the world is unpredictable is, um, mild.

01:49:26.080 None of us have any guarantees of what tomorrow is going to bring.

01:49:28.700 Honestly, if I were on the air tomorrow and I said, an alien ship has just appeared over

01:49:38.000 Moscow, and the Russians claim to have made contact.

01:49:43.600 And there's one, it looks like it's headed towards Washington, D.C.

01:49:49.120 What percentage of this audience might believe it?

01:49:54.380 I don't believe it.

01:49:55.260 I don't even know that they react.

01:49:56.780 Oh, really?

01:49:58.480 Wow.

01:49:59.720 Retweet.

01:50:01.200 All right, I'm going to move on.

01:50:02.740 Anyway, things are unpredictable, and it's not too late to start a plan.

01:50:07.640 Ensuring that you're feeding your family is the beginning of being, um, dependable.

01:50:16.220 Um, you don't want to be dependent on the government.

01:50:18.540 You want to be dependable for your family.

01:50:21.680 Friends having, um, trouble.

01:50:25.220 Your family having trouble.

01:50:28.160 You having trouble.

01:50:29.540 Having food storage for emergency situations means that you are the leader, and that you

01:50:35.140 don't have to deal with not being able to eat or feed your family in a crisis.

01:51:12.660 Glenn Beck.

01:51:20.480 Glenn Beck.

01:51:21.540 No, this is, this is good.

01:51:26.520 Another stunning defeat for Europe.

01:51:30.360 Yesterday, Austria's 31-year-old Sebastian Kurtz, uh, has, uh, become the chancellor with

01:51:38.120 the center-right People's Party.

01:51:40.680 Um, here's the, the problem with it, uh, was the anti-immigrant nationalist Freedom Party

01:51:48.000 appears to, uh, to, uh, top the, uh, Social Democrats in second place.

01:51:55.220 So, uh, they have moved hard right.

01:51:58.560 And, uh, this, this, when I say it's an anti-immigrant nationalist Freedom Party,

01:52:04.560 Freedom doesn't have a lot to do with this particular party.

01:52:08.220 Uh, it was set up originally by a former SS officer from the Gestapo.

01:52:16.280 And they've never had this kind of support.

01:52:19.320 Um, and, uh, they are now the second biggest party in Austria and promising good things to

01:52:25.320 come.

01:52:25.680 There's a party like this seemingly in every European nation right now.

01:52:28.500 Yeah, these, all growing in support.

01:52:31.120 We will, I'm going to try to outline this for you tomorrow on tomorrow's broadcast, but

01:52:34.620 they have deep ties to, uh, Russia and to all of the other, uh, Nazi parties that are happening

01:52:42.900 all around, including here in the United States.

01:52:45.640 There is a movement and it is really being funneled through Russia and, um, it's going

01:52:51.080 to destabilize and, and, and, and not be good.

01:52:53.880 It's not be good.

01:52:55.000 But, but I think a lot of the, the coverage comes from the left and a lot of times it sounds

01:53:00.340 like they're just bashing anyone who's conservative, but these groups are different.

01:53:03.260 They're, they're, this is not a conservative group as, as Americans would understand it.

01:53:07.940 No, it is the alt-right in America.

01:53:10.820 It is the Nazi right in, uh, in, in Austria and in Hungary and in Sweden now and Greece and

01:53:20.980 France and they'll, they'll, they'll, they'll, you know, lump all this together with Daniel

01:53:25.620 Hannon and the Brexit movement.

01:53:27.320 It's totally different than these things.

01:53:28.520 It's not the same.

01:53:29.880 More on that, uh, tomorrow on tomorrow's broadcast.

01:53:37.040 Glenn Beck.

01:53:38.080 Glenn Beck.
