The Glenn Beck Program - 10⧸2⧸17 - Don't Immediately Blame the President (John Di Domenico & Peter Shankman join the program)

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

00:00:30.000 Casualty shooting just hours ago.

00:00:42.920 This happened overnight around and near the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

00:00:49.000 According to the Clark County Sheriff, more than 356 people have been injured,

00:00:55.020 transported to Las Vegas area hospitals, including trauma centers,

00:00:58.480 and more than 50 confirmed dead.

00:01:03.600 Now making this the most deadly shooting in American history.

00:01:09.580 This was at the close of a three-day music festival, the Route 91 Harvest Festival.

00:01:16.980 Jason Aldean was performing when the gunfire broke out.

00:01:20.200 He and his team confirmed safe.

00:01:22.280 We have identified a suspect who is dead.

00:01:24.580 But I want to play some of the sounds of how most people became aware that there was a shooting at all.

00:01:30.760 In the middle of the concert, which was across the street diagonally from the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

00:01:38.180 People were just enjoying it as Jason Aldean was singing.

00:01:41.940 And you can hear the gunshots from across the street diagonally.

00:01:45.980 They don't even know what's going on.

00:01:51.560 They're not even sure what's happened until the concert comes to a stop.

00:01:57.520 Listen to their confusion as they start saying, wait a minute, is that gunshots?

00:02:02.680 Remember, it's a little bit far away.

00:02:05.000 It's nighttime.

00:02:05.840 Likely they've been partying at the concert.

00:02:07.600 Once they realize it, while he's theoretically reloading or before he begins to shoot again,

00:02:14.980 they start to get down and then it becomes clear and then all hell breaks loose.

00:02:21.260 Here's how it began.

00:02:24.880 No, no, no.

00:02:25.680 We have the Jason Aldean music where he starts.

00:02:29.380 Uh-oh.

00:02:49.400 That's gunshots.

00:02:50.980 That's gunshots.

00:02:56.040 Oh my God, we got it.

00:02:57.980 Get down, get down, stay down.

00:03:10.520 Here's the confusion before he begins to shoot again.

00:03:23.580 Get down, get down.

00:03:25.180 Get down.

00:03:27.980 Here's what we know so far.

00:03:42.140 The suspect has been identified as 64-year-old Steven Paddock.

00:03:47.520 He had a room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel on the 32nd floor and began shooting around midnight

00:03:54.720 last night.

00:03:55.480 He fired hundreds of rounds before people even knew where it was coming from.

00:04:02.040 People that were in rooms several floors below said it sounded like a jackhammer as he let loose with his automatic

00:04:09.260 weapon.

00:04:10.420 Eventually, police figured out what room he was in.

00:04:13.420 They stormed the room.

00:04:14.840 He shot himself before police could shoot him.

00:04:17.880 He is 64-year-old, again, Steven Paddock, from a local, lives in a local retirement community in the Las Vegas area.

00:04:26.820 Police believe for a while that maybe there were other shooters in Las Vegas or even in the area.

00:04:32.080 That has now been dispelled.

00:04:33.800 For the longest time, they were searching for a female companion of Steven Paddock's.

00:04:38.580 She has been taken into custody for questioning.

00:04:41.000 They have also tracked down two vehicles that were seen in the area that they were concerned about as well.

00:04:47.320 More details of that will likely come out over the next couple of hours or so.

00:04:52.980 I'm Doc Thompson, pinch-hitting for Glenn Beck today.

00:04:55.160 He's on vacation this week.

00:04:56.760 Joining me also, Chris Cruz from the Morning Blaze and our buddy Cal, who's spinning the dials radio style,

00:05:02.600 also part of the Morning Blaze crew on the Blaze Radio Network.

00:05:06.840 We're on the air before Glenn every day on the Blaze Radio Network, theblaze.com slash radio,

00:05:13.660 where you can find out more about us.

00:05:15.480 As soon as I got up early, early this morning before the program, and we're on 6 to 9, so I get up about 3 o'clock,

00:05:23.220 the information was pouring in.

00:05:25.060 At first, it was just two people reported dead.

00:05:30.360 And that seemed pretty low, given the circumstances.

00:05:33.520 And then within minutes, they said, no, no, 20.

00:05:36.140 Now it's up to 50 and likely will climb higher.

00:05:38.240 However, the Strip is still completely closed off as sun begins to come up over the Las Vegas Strip.

00:05:44.660 They'll likely get more information in the darkness.

00:05:47.160 It's hard to, you know, get all the little details of who was shot and where.

00:05:51.500 But we do know Las Vegas McCarran Airport is now reopened for a while.

00:05:56.160 They had stopped flights, and they're going to try to piece everything together.

00:06:01.220 We know there were some police officers at the concert from Bakersfield, California.

00:06:05.700 One of them was shot. His condition is unknown to me at this point.

00:06:09.620 We'll get that information.

00:06:11.400 If you want to join the program, 727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.

00:06:19.620 You can also follow me on Twitter, at DocThompsonShow.

00:06:23.020 And we'll get some of your tweets coming up.

00:06:25.260 It's at DocThompsonShow.

00:06:27.480 If you want to use the hashtag, What I Learned Today, we use that.

00:06:30.040 If you want to tweet at my buddy Chris Cruz, it's at RealChrisCruz.

00:06:32.700 One of the facts, actually, we just got Kyle just told him over the ear that they found that the shooter shot himself before the police officer got to him.

00:06:42.300 Which is new information.

00:06:43.480 Yes.

00:06:43.980 We hadn't had that.

00:06:44.960 We knew that they had stormed the room, and we thought police had shot him, but he shot himself.

00:06:50.160 What makes somebody do something like this?

00:06:53.800 That's the question.

00:06:54.680 Why was something like this possible in this man's head?

00:06:59.580 Obviously, if you can do something like this, there is some sort of mental instability.

00:07:05.940 I don't know how you could do something like this without being mentally unstable.

00:07:10.460 Well, isn't that like the question of, like a million-dollar question?

00:07:13.600 Why do people just snap and grab a gun and just start shooting down little kids, you know, right this?

00:07:21.000 You got also the same one that happened in, you know, Orlando, and I was over there.

00:07:25.740 The Pulse nightclub shooting.

00:07:27.140 So, you can't figure out what it is, but at the same time, it is this, incidents like this should unite us that, you know, it doesn't matter where we are or who do we vote for or what we believe in, that we're Americans and we're humans.

00:07:41.620 It's, and we just start coming together, even, we just saw earlier today, a hashtag is trending, gun control now, not even, the bodies are not even counted up yet.

00:07:51.960 We don't even know what the grand total is.

00:07:53.680 The bodies aren't even cold, and they start with politicizing the issue.

00:07:58.480 I understand the natural reaction is when we, is to, is to try to find somebody or something to blame.

00:08:08.640 Well, we know we can blame Steven Paddock, but beyond that, people, how could, like I said, how do you, how are you able to do something like this?

00:08:17.180 People want to find something to blame.

00:08:18.980 I get it.

00:08:19.480 That's natural.

00:08:20.800 But if you are going to a political issue this quickly, you are wrong.

00:08:25.420 I was planning already on this program this morning to talk about priorities and perspective, because I think that's important.

00:08:36.060 Over the weekend, the big story prior to this was the NFL players kneeling down still that crazy situation, the divide between the people that said, hey, you know, maybe you shouldn't be protesting during the national anthem.

00:08:50.800 Some people want to show respect and other people saying, hey, there's a big issue here we want to discuss.

00:08:55.420 That that was the story.

00:08:58.820 How shallow does that seem now?

00:09:01.740 How simple, how small, how ridiculous does some players kneeling during the national anthem seem in the midst of 50 plus people dead?

00:09:13.080 Hundreds still hospitalized.

00:09:15.180 Some of them likely to succumb to their wounds.

00:09:17.160 While simply out at a concert in Las Vegas, just enjoying an open air concert on a, on a nice September, October, now October night in Las Vegas.

00:09:30.940 How small and petty does the NFL story seem?

00:09:34.860 It has to be about priorities and perspective.

00:09:39.640 And I was planning on discussing that anyways, given the NFL story.

00:09:43.500 I was planning on saying, hey, this is the big story everyone's talking about.

00:09:48.440 It's ridiculous.

00:09:49.260 And they're saying they're doing this because people are being shot by police officers.

00:09:52.660 But when you look at the numbers, it is small, so small by comparison to what they would have you believe.

00:10:00.460 The number of people shot by police officers and killed, and certainly those with any type of racial makeup.

00:10:07.020 It's very, very small.

00:10:08.720 By the number of other crimes, by people who die in war, or other problems we face.

00:10:19.380 We have to start prioritizing.

00:10:22.500 And we have to put it into perspective.

00:10:25.080 Sure, you're an NFL player.

00:10:27.780 And you're pissed off.

00:10:29.540 Because you believe.

00:10:31.520 Wrongly, of course.

00:10:32.640 You're misguided, misdirected, misinformed.

00:10:35.220 You wrongly believe that police are indiscriminately killing people because of their race.

00:10:41.600 This is what you believe.

00:10:44.100 So you take a knee during the National Anthem with little regard for your fellow man and the passions they feel when the National Anthem is played.

00:10:52.680 Knowing you could protest somewhere else.

00:10:56.980 But what about the people in Las Vegas?

00:11:01.400 Now, obviously they hadn't been shot during the games yesterday.

00:11:04.340 Because it just happened a few hours ago.

00:11:07.040 But other people are killed.

00:11:09.160 Other people are systematically tortured around the world.

00:11:12.600 We've got millions of people who've died at the hands of various regimes in North Korea.

00:11:19.820 People are systematically tortured and killed all over the Middle East.

00:11:23.840 People are sex trafficked, human trafficked here, even in America.

00:11:28.720 People starve.

00:11:29.820 We face these really serious problems all the time.

00:11:34.640 And you jackass NFL players and NBA players take a knee.

00:11:39.340 Because that's your priority?

00:11:43.160 What say you this morning?

00:11:44.620 What say you, in light of Las Vegas?

00:11:49.480 Is there any NFL player or NBA player going, wait a minute, next week I'm out now.

00:11:54.760 I realized after the shooting in Las Vegas that, you know, maybe there's more priorities in America.

00:12:01.160 Within moments of this tragedy, people like Piers Morgan began politicizing it and making it a gun issue.

00:12:10.280 Piers Morgan tweeting out all kinds of gun statistics in Nevada and America, even though he's not an American.

00:12:17.240 How about cleaning up your own dirtbag country first, Piers?

00:12:21.860 How about that?

00:12:23.440 Is every problem solved in England?

00:12:26.460 Is Britain taking care of every problem, every homeless, every stabbing, every murder, every crime?

00:12:32.900 Then maybe worry about your own country.

00:12:35.180 The fact that somebody was stupid enough to hire you to cover media in America does not make you an American or an expert.

00:12:41.960 Go away.

00:12:42.840 And stop politicizing our tragedies for your own political and personal gain.

00:12:52.200 Stop it.

00:12:54.240 Gun control now is a hashtag.

00:12:57.420 I get that it's natural for you to want to try to come up with some buddy or something to blame.

00:13:05.280 Stop making it a political issue.

00:13:09.180 You want solutions?

00:13:10.700 We'll get to solutions this morning on the program.

00:13:13.240 We'll get to your calls.

00:13:15.140 But I don't want this about political issues this morning.

00:13:19.420 I'm not doing that.

00:13:21.680 Piers Morgan and others are wrong.

00:13:24.200 Don't be them.

00:13:26.900 You've got speculation, comments, a message of support for people, the victims, the family members in Vegas.

00:13:34.360 You want to comment on the NFL or others?

00:13:36.480 Fine.

00:13:36.920 We'll get to that.

00:13:38.080 But don't politicize the tragedy.

00:13:39.600 You want to discuss this later on and get to the bottom of it?

00:13:43.040 You want to talk about gun control tomorrow, later on tonight?

00:13:46.600 Fine.

00:13:47.280 How about we wait till the family members are notified?

00:13:50.580 You got people waking up that have no idea that this happened, yet they have relatives that were at that concert.

00:13:57.940 They haven't even been notified yet.

00:13:59.640 How about we wait till then?

00:14:02.600 This is Doc Thompson, Pinch Hitting for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:10.280 Glenn Beck.

00:14:16.680 Glenn Beck.

00:14:17.720 Doc Thompson, Chris Cruz, and Cal from the Morning Blaze Pinch Hitting for Glenn Beck today.

00:14:23.960 Thank you so much for joining us.

00:14:25.240 Sorry it couldn't be under happier circumstances, but unfortunately the most deadly shooting in American history happened just hours ago in Las Vegas.

00:14:34.020 Quick update, the number dead now at 50, and the number injured taken to local Las Vegas hospitals, including trauma centers, now at 406 and counting.

00:14:44.460 The gunman was on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel, firing across an intersection diagonally.

00:14:51.160 Now, as he hung outside the window, he could fire from a 180 degree distance.

00:14:59.260 So he could go from left side to right side and spray all the way across, which he did.

00:15:04.060 He fired down onto the crowd below, people on the street, cars, but there were thousands of people diagonally across the intersection at this music concert.

00:15:14.660 40,000 plus attendees.

00:15:15.660 I think that's what they said.

00:15:16.540 At least it was what they said.

00:15:17.760 It's just fascinating.

00:15:19.320 And then the amount of people that weren't killed instantly is a miracle as well.

00:15:24.520 Because if you hear the audience, it's about a minute of just rapid fire.

00:15:28.420 You don't even hear a break.

00:15:30.120 And also we find out that he had about eight guns, eight weapons on his hotel bed as well.

00:15:37.120 So what was his long-term plan on this?

00:15:40.460 I don't know.

00:15:41.080 He managed to get off probably thousands of rounds.

00:15:44.000 We know he fired for up to 15 minutes before they got into the hotel room.

00:15:49.540 I mean, that's incredible.

00:15:50.980 Oh, yeah.

00:15:51.420 And the Mandalay Bay Hotel is at the south end of the Strip.

00:15:56.760 McCarran Airport is across the street and beyond some other buildings.

00:16:01.500 It's not directly across the street.

00:16:03.200 There's some other things across the street, but it's very close.

00:16:06.240 At the north end of the Strip, you get toward downtown, so the south end.

00:16:14.500 Likely, if it hadn't been for the concert and those thousands, maybe 40,000 across, the damage would have been less significant.

00:16:22.820 I'm going to get some calls coming up.

00:16:24.000 888-727-BECK.

00:16:25.320 Sean in Massachusetts, thanks for joining us.

00:16:27.720 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:16:28.740 How are you?

00:16:30.200 Morning, Doug.

00:16:30.700 Thanks for having me on.

00:16:32.860 You pretty much said everything I wanted to say earlier in the intro to your show.

00:16:37.740 So I live in central Massachusetts, and I'm completely surrounded by people that, you know, just, you know,

00:16:44.940 it's first thing in the morning over here, and already people are putting the political speculation on the shooting,

00:16:51.600 and it just, it's sickening, you know.

00:16:56.400 Whether, you know, whether the guy was doing it because he was a Trump supporter or some right-wing conspiracy theorist, whatever, you know,

00:17:03.160 it's, I'm going to this open mic tonight that my friend runs, and it's Slam Poets.

00:17:10.060 If you know anything about Slam Poets and the social justice crowd,

00:17:15.860 and I know that I'm anticipating that there's going to be a lot of people talking about gun control, and...

00:17:21.920 It'll be 90% that.

00:17:23.340 It'll be almost all that.

00:17:25.460 Well, they have a no-hate-speech policy, and...

00:17:29.200 Okay.

00:17:29.980 Which, you know, I'm sure that doesn't surprise you, but...

00:17:32.960 But, you know, that would not be hate speech, because they're, you know,

00:17:37.120 they're talking against things that people on the right believe in, so...

00:17:41.240 It wouldn't be covered there.

00:17:43.320 Well, they, you know, I feel like that's, you know, when there's people that, you know,

00:17:47.960 like you said, they don't even know that...

00:17:49.800 They haven't even heard the news yet, that, you know, might have known someone or were close to somebody that was at this concert.

00:17:57.080 And, you know, I feel like that's more damaging than the so-called hate speech.

00:18:04.000 Absolutely.

00:18:04.440 Well, I've always maintained this belief that, you know, people who are racist or sexist,

00:18:11.480 all these xenophobias that they're, you know, all these labels they're throwing out there,

00:18:18.940 that those people, you know, it's socially frowned upon to think that way.

00:18:23.780 It's, if you're a racist, you're not going to make many friends.

00:18:26.080 You know, I just don't understand why, you know, why exacerbate what is essentially a non-issue.

00:18:35.560 So, that's why, you know, Morgan Freeman always says the best way to fight racism is to just stop talking about it.

00:18:43.100 Well, that's the key, Sean.

00:18:45.220 And, by the way, thank you so much for the call.

00:18:46.640 I really appreciate you joining us today in Massachusetts.

00:18:49.000 That's the key is knowing what it means to politicize an issue.

00:18:55.320 So, what is politicizing an issue?

00:18:57.000 How do you know if it's being politicized?

00:18:59.200 We'll get some more of your calls coming up.

00:19:00.480 888-727-BECK.

00:19:02.040 888-727-BECK.

00:19:03.280 And, we'll lay out how you know if it's being politicized.

00:19:10.720 Glenn Beck.

00:19:17.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:20.200 May sound simple, but how do you know if something is being politicized?

00:19:26.040 A tragedy, that is.

00:19:27.140 How do you know?

00:19:28.520 I mean, you may say, well, it's pretty obvious or whatever.

00:19:30.360 No, I don't think it is.

00:19:31.860 But, is it okay to discuss a tragedy after the tragedy?

00:19:38.040 A day, a week, a month later, a year later?

00:19:40.740 Of course.

00:19:41.320 I think so, yeah.

00:19:42.620 Can you discuss it and assign some blame when there is blame?

00:19:46.940 Mistakes, let's say there were failures that led to it.

00:19:50.280 Like you're saying, like, maybe there was a note left by the police officers and they forgot to follow up?

00:19:55.160 Some kind of like that?

00:19:55.660 Whatever, yeah.

00:19:56.380 You can discuss those things.

00:19:57.660 You can discuss that, yeah.

00:19:58.000 And in an effort to assign blame, not just for vengeance, but to try to stop failures in the future.

00:20:06.640 Yeah.

00:20:06.820 Of course you can do that.

00:20:07.720 I think you know when it's being politicized, if the criticisms happen, like they have already this morning, before we know all of the details.

00:20:19.320 We don't know all of the details about the shooting in Las Vegas.

00:20:22.740 We know very few.

00:20:24.020 The numbers keep changing.

00:20:25.660 The number is dead and injured.

00:20:27.320 The way this rolled out.

00:20:29.260 What room he was in.

00:20:30.460 That stuff is changing constantly.

00:20:34.240 So that's one way you know.

00:20:36.180 Number two, if blame is being assigned without all of the facts being displayed.

00:20:44.620 Maybe a week from now, somebody points to this tragedy and blames whoever.

00:20:48.740 I don't care if they blame somebody on the left, the right, the president, past presidents.

00:20:53.040 It doesn't matter.

00:20:54.000 However, if they're doing it without telling you all of the facts, without full disclosure, only letting you see a little bit of it, what that's doing is showing you they are crafting a message for you or anybody else who's viewing it, reading it, whatever, that they only want you to know a little bit in order to drive the narrative in a political direction.

00:21:19.020 That's what's been happening with Puerto Rico over the weekend.

00:21:21.700 That's what's been happening between the mayor of San Juan and the president.

00:21:26.060 We'll get to that coming up later on in the program.

00:21:29.060 But let me share with you what Piers Morgan tweeted out.

00:21:32.560 And again, I'm not being political.

00:21:33.760 I'm just pointing out how ridiculous.

00:21:35.860 This is what politicizing it is.

00:21:38.740 What did Piers tweet out, Chris Cruz?

00:21:40.380 So he tweeted this about an hour ago.

00:21:41.600 He says, big test for President Trump.

00:21:44.680 The NRA helped him get elected.

00:21:48.360 Now, worst ever U.S. mass shooting has happened in his watch.

00:21:53.020 Hashtag Vegas.

00:21:54.500 So the worst mass shooting has happened on Donald Trump's watch.

00:21:58.300 Yes.

00:21:58.700 He's right.

00:21:59.260 He is right.

00:22:00.000 On his watch while he was president.

00:22:02.120 He's right.

00:22:03.240 The second now most deadly mass shooting was the Pulse nightclub.

00:22:09.500 Yes.

00:22:09.720 49 dead.

00:22:10.440 Prior to today, it was the most deadly.

00:22:12.480 Who's watch was that on?

00:22:15.100 Obama.

00:22:15.980 Prior to that, the most deadly mass shooting in American history was Sandy Hook.

00:22:21.820 Yep.

00:22:22.280 The children's at the school.

00:22:24.440 Right.

00:22:24.820 And whose watch was that on?

00:22:25.960 President Obama.

00:22:27.720 Do you see what I'm saying?

00:22:29.120 I'm not saying it's Obama's fault.

00:22:31.360 I'm not saying it's Trump's fault today.

00:22:33.340 I'm saying these numbers always change.

00:22:36.520 New situations.

00:22:37.640 New circumstances.

00:22:39.320 And what would Piers have them do?

00:22:41.300 So, gun control is not a solution to this.

00:22:45.620 He simply wants you to believe it is.

00:22:48.180 Before he even knows the facts.

00:22:51.180 There could be significant facts to come out that Piers doesn't know.

00:22:57.220 But he's happy to jump to that political arena.

00:23:01.500 And then if you go down that rabbit hole of let's blame President Trump, it is his fault.

00:23:06.160 What can you blame him on?

00:23:07.240 Like, seriously, why can you blame any president when a mass shooting happens like this?

00:23:12.420 It's asinine.

00:23:13.620 It's not like Donald Trump was right there sitting next to the guy or President Obama was sitting to the other guy saying, hey, hey, are you going to push the trigger?

00:23:19.740 Are you going to push the trigger right now?

00:23:20.860 Hey, do it right now.

00:23:21.800 It's not that.

00:23:23.520 I blame society before I blame any president.

00:23:26.380 Including Obama.

00:23:28.060 Yes.

00:23:28.340 Including others.

00:23:29.640 You know what?

00:23:30.000 I think today I have made a realization about the politicizing of these issues.

00:23:34.560 That needs to be something that we discuss all the time.

00:23:38.040 We need to start calling out the politicizing of tragedy.

00:23:41.640 And I just shared with you some of the ways you know it's being politicized.

00:23:46.200 If they're not sharing all of the facts, if they're discussing and pointing the finger of who's responsible, who's to blame before we know any of the details.

00:23:59.900 All right.

00:24:00.160 I'm going to get some calls coming up.

00:24:01.260 888-727-BECK.

00:24:02.640 888-727-BECK.

00:24:03.900 Please follow me on Twitter.

00:24:05.040 It's at DocThompsonShow.

00:24:06.580 On Facebook, it's Facebook.com slash DocThompsonShow.

00:24:09.380 And I'll take some messages from there as well coming up.

00:24:12.600 But first, I want to share with you some more of the sounds.

00:24:15.020 I have an audio clip of the SWAT team being called to the scene as they were trying to track down this shooter in Las Vegas on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

00:24:27.160 The first 30 seconds or so is the audio of them trying to track him down.

00:24:31.580 And then the second immediate audio clip is them busting in.

00:24:36.480 He did take his own life.

00:24:38.100 Because that's the reports we're getting.

00:24:39.640 Here's the audio now.

00:24:40.840 What's going on, Timmy?

00:24:41.860 He's coming from upstairs in the Mandalay Bay.

00:24:45.080 Upstairs in Mandalay Bay.

00:24:46.340 Halfway up.

00:24:47.080 I see the shots coming from Mandalay Bay.

00:24:49.140 We have multiple casualties.

00:24:50.640 GSWs at the medical tent.

00:24:52.260 Multiple casualties.

00:24:53.660 Just be advised.

00:24:54.880 It is automatic fire.

00:24:57.040 Fully automatic fire from an elevated position.

00:24:59.740 Take cover.

00:25:00.560 Multiple GSWs to the chest.

00:25:02.600 Lips.

00:25:03.200 Thermal arteries.

00:25:04.000 At the medical tent.

00:25:05.000 At the medical tent.

00:25:05.920 4A, off of Guile, south of Reno.

00:25:08.980 Control, 020.

00:25:10.440 020, go ahead.

00:25:11.900 It's going to sit on the suspect's door.

00:25:13.920 I need everybody in that hallway to be aware of it and get back.

00:25:17.160 We need to pop this and see if we can get any type of response from this guy.

00:25:20.420 See if he's in here or if he's actually moved out somewhere else.

00:25:23.200 Got me.

00:25:23.640 All units on the 32nd floor.

00:25:25.520 Slut has explosive breach.

00:25:26.940 Everyone in the hallway needs to move back.

00:25:28.760 All units move back.

00:25:30.140 Breach.

00:25:30.460 Breach.

00:25:30.960 Breach.

00:25:31.260 Wow.

00:25:35.800 Chilling.

00:25:36.280 It's funny because I might not look like it, but I was a police officer in the military

00:25:40.420 and nothing, even hear them, you can hear them, they're nice and calm, you know, some

00:25:44.780 police officers.

00:25:45.540 Does it make you tense?

00:25:46.480 It makes me tense.

00:25:47.320 I'm here.

00:25:47.860 I'm like, okay.

00:25:48.300 You're gearing up.

00:25:48.900 Okay.

00:25:49.200 Getting ready to go, right?

00:25:50.260 All right.

00:25:50.640 Here we go.

00:25:50.980 One thing that always, all of my trainers told me is you can never prepare yourself for

00:25:56.480 that incident.

00:25:57.280 Yes, you could go down drills.

00:25:58.440 You could go down any scenarios.

00:25:59.680 Too many variables, too many unknowns.

00:26:01.300 Because if you think about it right now, they were about to breach this hotel room.

00:26:04.460 What if when they breached this hotel room, there was an explosion on the other side?

00:26:08.260 Now you have a bigger casualties.

00:26:10.840 What if they were hostages?

00:26:12.720 What if they were anything?

00:26:13.720 Well, not just that.

00:26:14.240 What if the whole plan was to get the police officers to that side and there was other

00:26:18.560 people on the other side waiting?

00:26:20.260 So you have to figure this out.

00:26:21.320 And the best, and one of the things I always, I will never forget is at that moment is either

00:26:28.460 you go home or you don't go home.

00:26:31.760 In that split second, you make that decision.

00:26:34.460 And those police officers already made the decisions that they were, you know, they were

00:26:37.600 going to go home at the end of the day and they would take off those boots that we call

00:26:41.420 in the military.

00:26:41.900 And it's really interesting because it's all tense.

00:26:44.840 But at the same time, you know, mad props to all the SWAT team and all the first responders

00:26:49.260 that responded to this issue.

00:26:50.820 And it's just fascinating that, you know, even today's world where, you know, people are

00:26:55.440 starting hitting on cops who could still look at the good things when it comes to police

00:26:59.680 officers and our first responders.

00:27:01.880 There were two on-duty officers that were injured.

00:27:04.540 One of them is in stable condition after surgery.

00:27:06.880 The other just has minor injuries.

00:27:09.380 So two of them were injured.

00:27:10.580 And as I said, there was a, uh, some officers from the Bakersfield, California, that's about

00:27:15.360 four or five hours away through the desert, uh, that were just at the concert and they

00:27:20.100 ended up, uh, at least one of them ended up being shot.

00:27:22.380 So, all right, let me get some, uh, calls coming up.

00:27:24.880 888-727-BECK.

00:27:26.100 Let's go to Pennsylvania.

00:27:27.060 George, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:28.840 Thank you for holding.

00:27:30.640 Hey, good morning.

00:27:31.720 Uh, what I want to say about this is I think politicians need to understand that when they try

00:27:38.740 to make political hay out of a disaster and a tragedy like this, every word that they

00:27:44.720 utter is drip is dripping and dipped in the blood of those who have fallen out there.

00:27:50.360 And it has absolutely no place in our discourse today.

00:27:54.840 And people like Chuck Schumer, who as far as I'm concerned is a dead ringer for snidely

00:28:00.700 whiplash with only without the mustache, uh, needs to stop.

00:28:06.600 Nancy Pelosi needs to stop and they're not helping.

00:28:10.920 And when they try to take advantage of something like this for their own benefit and the, and

00:28:16.380 the perceived benefit of their party, those are blood words and it needs to stop now.

00:28:22.620 I agree, George.

00:28:23.180 And you know what?

00:28:23.800 I will even give some of them the benefit of the doubt.

00:28:25.940 Clearly some of them are trying to be political with this.

00:28:28.280 That's personal gain and party gain for them.

00:28:30.580 But there may be some that are so emotional and they just go to this in their mind, guns

00:28:34.820 are the problem or, you know, whatever political issue is out there at the time.

00:28:39.300 There's a tragedy, they may really believe that's the problem and they're so overcome

00:28:42.740 with emotion.

00:28:43.400 They just lash out.

00:28:44.240 I get that happens at times.

00:28:45.520 That's fine.

00:28:46.380 But when it's consistent from some of these people, then you realize it is planned that

00:28:53.020 they're doing it in a calculated fashion.

00:28:54.820 George, thanks so much for the call.

00:28:56.200 Let's go to New York now.

00:28:57.260 Dave, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:58.620 Thanks for holding.

00:29:01.320 Hey, Dave, how are you?

00:29:03.560 I'm good.

00:29:04.160 I, uh, I guess I'm calling up with some more questions than, you know, I have talking

00:29:09.040 points, I guess.

00:29:10.220 I, uh, all right.

00:29:12.140 So I woke up this morning to this is most of the country that I'm sure.

00:29:15.640 Um, and I have, I'm, I'm part of this group on Facebook.

00:29:19.480 I know Facebook isn't the place to get news from.

00:29:21.320 Um, but it's a firearms group.

00:29:23.040 And one of them is a, he works with the Las Vegas police department.

00:29:26.740 And I heard you, first thing I heard this morning was that, you know, it was confirmed

00:29:29.760 that there was one shooter.

00:29:30.820 Um, he posted something this morning.

00:29:32.260 So there's a lot of things he can't disclose, but that there was multiple shooters, one dead,

00:29:36.660 one in custody, possibly two more involved.

00:29:39.180 I was just curious, is that something that's still developing or has that been set in stone?

00:29:43.820 I don't want to spread misinformation at all.

00:29:45.440 Yeah.

00:29:45.640 And I'll, I'll give you Dave, what information has been confirmed.

00:29:48.620 I mean, hell, they could have 400 suspects in custody without telling us.

00:29:52.420 I mean, there could be all kinds of stuff, but from what is being reported by the Clark

00:29:55.940 County Sheriff and other local law enforcement in the area, um, is that there was one sole

00:30:02.500 perpetrator, Steven Paddock, he is 64 years of age.

00:30:05.960 He was a resident of a local retirement community.

00:30:08.720 There was a woman that he is acquainted with.

00:30:12.120 We don't know if she was around before the shooting during, but she was not there.

00:30:17.400 And at large for a short period of time, they have since taken her into custody for

00:30:21.760 questioning, but even early on police termed it this way.

00:30:25.780 They said they believe the shooter was the sole aggressor, meaning that even if she is

00:30:30.320 somehow culpable in this, that she was not somebody who pulled the trigger.

00:30:35.280 They also had two vehicles that they were trying to track down because they thought they

00:30:39.340 were suspicious.

00:30:39.880 Remember in the early moments of this, you start trying to gather any information and

00:30:44.800 evidence you can.

00:30:45.740 They have since, uh, discovered, located those two vehicles and they're investigating.

00:30:51.220 I don't know the significance.

00:30:52.300 If one was hers, one was his, um, or anybody else.

00:30:55.720 But so far from local law enforcement, one perpetrator, 64 year old Steven Paddock.

00:31:02.260 Gotcha.

00:31:02.820 I appreciate it.

00:31:03.500 And I, I also want to say one thing too.

00:31:05.020 Um, you know, I'm, I haven't seen much so far about the, uh, everyone screaming for gun

00:31:11.040 control, which I'm sure is going to be coming any minute now.

00:31:14.020 It's out there already.

00:31:14.800 Yeah.

00:31:15.180 But yeah, I'm sure I, I'm at work, so I don't pay attention to most of that crap.

00:31:19.500 I'm at work.

00:31:20.100 I just heard you guys on the way in.

00:31:21.260 So I figured I'd call, um, it, the thing is with this guy at fully automatic weapons,

00:31:26.900 um, you know, gun controls, I'm going to stop that.

00:31:29.460 You're either going to buy an automatic weapon illegally on the street, or you're going to

00:31:32.260 legally modify it.

00:31:33.280 They don't give class three permits to anybody.

00:31:35.820 Like it's not something you can get with just the simple pack stamp.

00:31:38.300 It's not, it's not something, you know, especially like where I am in New York, you

00:31:42.720 can't get anything.

00:31:43.460 I mean, it's considered destructive device.

00:31:44.780 You're not getting, you know, Dave, the best way you're right.

00:31:47.400 But the best way I think to say that this morning, and thank you so much for the

00:31:50.360 call, the best way to say that this morning is when I talked about people

00:31:53.280 politicizing things, when they don't know, or they don't share all of the

00:31:57.840 information, all of the facts, what you're sharing is fact.

00:32:01.280 Granted, it's a one perspective, but it is truly facts that they will not share.

00:32:06.380 All of those things can be discussed later today, tomorrow.

00:32:09.440 Let's make sure the families know what's going on first have been notified.

00:32:12.700 And by the way, let's get this all, um, taken care of.

00:32:16.020 The sun has just come up in Las Vegas.

00:32:17.660 They're still investigating.

00:32:18.600 The strip is still closed.

00:32:20.580 Uh, one of the things you just said, uh, Donald Trump will address the nation at

00:32:24.960 10 30 Eastern time, 10 30, 10 30 Eastern time.

00:32:29.100 And we will try to carry some of that here on the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:31.980 Quick, uh, quick break and back with more doc Thompson in for Glenn on the

00:32:35.580 Glenn Beck program.

00:32:39.300 Glenn Beck.

00:32:46.760 Glenn Beck.

00:32:47.560 Doc Thompson, Chris Cruz and Cal spinning the dials radio style in for Glenn Beck today.

00:32:54.500 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:32:55.560 Regularly heard on the blaze radio network.

00:32:57.200 More on us.

00:32:57.940 Just go to the blaze radio.com the blaze radio.com.

00:33:01.360 Uh, let's go back to the phones.

00:33:02.680 Triple eight, 900, actually triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck, eight, eight, eight, seven,

00:33:06.420 two, seven, Beck.

00:33:07.200 Just taking calls on the situation in Las Vegas.

00:33:10.480 Now 50 people dead and 406 injured.

00:33:13.220 John in Indiana.

00:33:14.600 Welcome to the program.

00:33:17.260 Hey, John, how are you?

00:33:20.060 It's not happened.

00:33:22.000 Yeah, I understand.

00:33:24.680 Yeah.

00:33:25.200 It's kind of a heck of a way to wake up over your coffee and realize that, you know, here's

00:33:30.880 going to be another storm of controversy in the midst of a tragedy.

00:33:36.560 But I think we need to remember that no matter how a person ends up doing something like this,

00:33:45.900 I don't care whether it's the kids at the high school, this guy in the tower, you've got

00:33:52.540 people who are basically angry and on the edge of breaking because of one common factor.

00:33:59.340 We live in a high intensity, very negatively polarized society.

00:34:07.600 There, it, this has been the most nervous period in human history.

00:34:13.840 There is so much going on, so much everywhere going on, so much taken in.

00:34:19.660 I think people are just getting overwhelmed.

00:34:21.440 And if you're living on the close of the edge, you know, it's real easy to snap.

00:34:26.060 You know what, John, I think you're right.

00:34:29.500 I wanted to go up a tower with a rifle, but weren't for the love of God.

00:34:34.840 No, John, you're absolutely right.

00:34:36.840 Thank you so much for the call.

00:34:37.860 You're right.

00:34:38.300 We are, we're living in a time where everybody is just so at their wits end.

00:34:44.540 I don't just mean conservatives, libertarians.

00:34:46.760 I mean, I'm sure liberals are as well.

00:34:48.860 I mean, some of them got Trump derangement syndrome, right?

00:34:52.060 I mean, all we know is that we all know something is very, very wrong in America.

00:34:58.180 We have different ideas on how to fix it, but we know what we're doing is not working.

00:35:08.780 Glenn Beck.

00:35:16.120 Love.

00:35:17.680 Courage.

00:35:19.180 Truth.

00:35:20.460 Glenn Beck.

00:35:21.180 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck.

00:35:23.400 I'm regularly heard on the blaze radio network, the blaze.com, the blaze radio.com.

00:35:27.600 You want to find out more, follow me on Twitter.

00:35:29.180 It's at Doc Thompson show, my buddy and cohort from the morning blaze.

00:35:32.460 Chris Cruz joining me as well as Cal is spinning the dials radio style for us as well.

00:35:36.660 Last night, just hours ago on the strip in Las Vegas, a gunman on the 32nd floor of the

00:35:42.560 Mandalay Bay hotel fired countless rounds into the crowd below, including a concert across

00:35:49.020 the street as it stands.

00:35:50.640 50 people confirmed dead.

00:35:52.240 That number is likely to grow over 400 injured.

00:35:55.300 Just to give you the quick update, one suspect killed himself as police broke into his room.

00:36:02.520 64 year old Steven Paddock is his name.

00:36:05.080 A female companion of his.

00:36:07.520 We're not sure of their relationship was taken into custody.

00:36:10.760 She is being questioned.

00:36:11.640 We don't know if, if she's actually a suspect, if she was a part of this, if she was complicit

00:36:16.240 in this or not, but I'm sure those details will come out.

00:36:19.200 That's pretty much all we know.

00:36:21.780 We have some sounds of it.

00:36:23.460 We know how awful it was for the people that were running, uh, had no idea where the bullets

00:36:28.860 were coming from.

00:36:29.620 They didn't know which direction to flee to get to safety.

00:36:32.700 It was a bizarre scene.

00:36:34.780 This is now officially the deadliest shooting in American history.

00:36:38.080 It is not the deadliest attack in American history.

00:36:44.280 Obviously 9-11 after 9-11, there was of course the Oklahoma city bombing, which killed around

00:36:50.540 150 or so.

00:36:52.240 And 30 some kids were killed in an explosion at a school in Bath, Bath, Michigan in 1927

00:36:59.140 when a man blew up the school there.

00:37:01.940 Just to put it all into perspective prior to today, the deadliest mass shooting in America

00:37:06.440 was the, uh, Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

00:37:10.500 Prior to that, it was Sandy Hook.

00:37:13.280 Our friend, John DiDomenico is a Trump supporter and entertainer who lives in Las Vegas.

00:37:18.860 We've had him on this program and our program in the past and, uh, has a little bit of perspective

00:37:23.560 what with living just, uh, I don't know, 10, 15 minutes from the Mandalay Bay.

00:37:27.600 Hey John, how are you?

00:37:29.160 Hey Doc, how are you doing man?

00:37:31.340 This is, this is so bad, John.

00:37:33.360 This is horrible.

00:37:34.060 It's, you know, um, this is a very small town.

00:37:39.680 Um, I moved here six years ago and, um, was very lucky to be part of the entertainment

00:37:45.160 community here.

00:37:46.280 I had multiple friends at the festival.

00:37:49.960 And, uh, two women, uh, particularly, uh, one is a singer, one's a country singer.

00:37:56.620 She, uh, I saw that they were there.

00:37:59.840 I was checking Instagram yesterday and Facebook and they were having a great time and posting

00:38:04.040 photos.

00:38:05.000 And then, uh, right before I went to bed, I checked again and they said they were being

00:38:10.160 shot at.

00:38:11.100 Wow.

00:38:11.580 And, um, uh, the one woman, I don't want to give any names, um, for privacy, but the

00:38:18.540 one woman's account, they were shot at a guy.

00:38:23.000 They didn't know covered their bodies.

00:38:25.600 He was shot dead.

00:38:27.480 Um, the woman next to them was grazed in the neck.

00:38:30.960 They're just shattered.

00:38:33.160 They're horrified.

00:38:34.600 Um, this is their hometown.

00:38:37.160 Uh, they went there to have a great time and they were almost killed.

00:38:43.160 So it's just a, it's just a horrible, horrible situation.

00:38:46.840 Well, John, let's look at a different perspective there.

00:38:48.580 You're right.

00:38:48.980 This is, this is horrible.

00:38:50.580 And obviously we never want this to happen and we certainly don't want it to happen again.

00:38:55.000 But let's look at some of the, albeit small by comparison, but positive stories, the,

00:39:04.500 the stories of self-sacrifice like that, people pushing each other, pushing others out of the

00:39:08.960 way, sacrificing themselves, covering people and ended up taking a bullet and dying themselves.

00:39:15.340 Right.

00:39:15.920 And I just want to read you the line, what he, what she wrote, um, uh, a man that we did

00:39:21.660 not know laid on top of us and come covered Amy's head.

00:39:25.960 He was shot from behind the lady right next to us was grazed in the neck.

00:39:30.220 So, yeah, there's a lot of heroism.

00:39:32.420 We have amazing first responders here, incredible police, ambulances.

00:39:39.520 Um, I also had, you know, I, like I said, I had multiple friends there and it's, it's,

00:39:44.640 it's beyond the fact that it's hard to believe.

00:39:48.560 Um, yeah, a lot of people rose to the occasion, uh, uh, were able to kind of be clear, move

00:39:56.740 people out, get people behind the stage, get people to safety.

00:40:00.820 So, yeah, there's, um, in these, in these moments, in these tragedies, people, uh, really

00:40:07.180 dig down and figure out a way to focus and help others.

00:40:11.480 John, tell me about this venue.

00:40:12.720 Um, when I lived in Vegas, it was in the early nineties, uh, the Mandalay Bay wasn't

00:40:17.060 even there.

00:40:17.500 It was the Hacienda back in the day.

00:40:19.300 And then that end of the strip ended up developing quite a bit after I left.

00:40:22.700 Tell me about this outdoor venue.

00:40:24.420 It's diagonally across the street.

00:40:27.300 Yeah.

00:40:27.780 So, um, Mandalay Bay is at the Southern end of the Las Vegas strip.

00:40:31.720 It's one of the things.

00:40:33.000 It's like the really last large hotel.

00:40:36.220 It's a, it's an MGM property and I'm a member of a club there.

00:40:40.780 That's actually on the roof.

00:40:42.560 Uh, what makes the Mandalay Bay such a great hotel is because it's the farthest end of the

00:40:47.940 strip.

00:40:48.280 You can look North and have this stunning view, uh, directly across the street.

00:40:53.000 There's this lot owned by, um, I'm assuming it's MGM, but which, where they have like the

00:40:58.420 I heart radio concert and you know, all the different things that come through town.

00:41:03.100 Also, American Ninja is shot there.

00:41:06.660 It's this great kind of huge open space.

00:41:09.400 So when you're there on the ground, you have these amazing views of all the hotels.

00:41:14.360 And, um, uh, it, it looks, if you're in Mandalay Bay, it looks right down on it.

00:41:21.240 And it's something, Chris, it's something like 15 acres.

00:41:24.620 That space.

00:41:25.360 It's, it's many acres.

00:41:26.480 It's huge.

00:41:27.120 And, and like, like John said, you could fit, you could fit the I heart radio concert.

00:41:32.480 Or it's a, well, a lot of people do the different concerts.

00:41:35.040 And actually I did not know that the American Ninja warrior was that makes sense there.

00:41:39.200 Now that makes sense.

00:41:40.040 Yeah.

00:41:41.060 Yeah.

00:41:41.580 Yeah.

00:41:42.020 And it's, it's just like Chris just said, it's just acres and acres and they build tons

00:41:45.660 of stages and you can move around and they have a lot of festivals there for that reason.

00:41:50.380 And also parking and accessibility and all those sorts of things.

00:41:53.220 And, uh, uh, this, this man obviously knew this was coming to town and he obviously asked

00:42:00.580 for a room on a high floor and then did what he did the unthinkable and, um, has shattered

00:42:07.860 many, many people's lives, killed many people.

00:42:10.320 We figured this morning, we speculated and it made a lot of sense that he likely did this

00:42:15.500 to time it when the concert was there because he's going to have thousands and thousands of

00:42:19.140 people that are at Target and that's, that's how it seems this morning.

00:42:23.240 It's interesting, John, we're looking at the, the pictures coming out of the Mandalay

00:42:26.760 Bay this morning and there are two windows on the hotel on the same floor that are broken

00:42:32.900 out, but it's interesting because the windows are dozens of those little squares.

00:42:37.800 I don't know if that represents.

00:42:40.060 They're full-sized windows.

00:42:41.240 They're full-sized windows.

00:42:42.080 So would one of those squares be a room or a couple of them would probably be a room?

00:42:46.860 Probably three, three of those would be a room.

00:42:49.140 Okay.

00:42:49.800 So we're seeing one on kind of the point, the Mandalay Bay is kind of, uh, it has three

00:42:55.060 prongs.

00:42:55.580 If you're looking at it, yeah, it's like, yeah, yeah, it's like that, um, is on like

00:43:00.400 kind of the, one of the points and then eight to 10 windows kind of down the side is another

00:43:06.340 broken out window.

00:43:07.300 We don't know why yet.

00:43:09.120 Interesting.

00:43:10.440 Yeah.

00:43:10.920 I, I have, I have no idea about, about that.

00:43:14.360 Um, I, and this is, you know, it would seem to me that there were, there was another shooter

00:43:21.700 and I don't want to, I, yeah, the police have not confirmed that it could, it could, it could,

00:43:26.640 it could have been him.

00:43:27.520 It could have been somebody else breaking out the window.

00:43:29.300 It could have been anything.

00:43:30.520 Echo.

00:43:30.780 Yeah.

00:43:30.960 And also things echo there.

00:43:32.480 It's just, it's terrible, um, you know, so, but he, uh, was very, very calculated and

00:43:37.540 how he did this and timed it and his angle and all those things.

00:43:40.920 So John, I was thinking about it this morning and talking about priorities and how, for some

00:43:45.860 reason we do not prioritize what's really important.

00:43:48.780 And a lot of us don't in our own lives.

00:43:50.440 It's easy to get pissed off at somebody in front of you in traffic or whatever.

00:43:53.320 And you go, you know what?

00:43:54.060 At least I wasn't shot up in Las Vegas.

00:43:56.140 Right.

00:43:56.480 I mean, that's, that's how it was, but just in the past couple of months, think of the

00:44:00.860 ridiculous stories that has consumed the news cycle that people have been angry about that.

00:44:07.340 When you put it next to this seems pretty shallow.

00:44:09.680 The most recent, the NFL people kneeling, people not standing as passionate as I am about

00:44:14.720 it.

00:44:15.340 It seems pretty shallow.

00:44:16.320 All of the statues being taken down the ESPN reporter, Robert Lee, who is denied the Dr.

00:44:22.520 Seuss books that are supposed to be racist over the weekend.

00:44:25.260 A couple of weeks ago, a sports talk host, Clay Travis saying boobs on CNN caused people

00:44:31.720 to be melting down.

00:44:33.260 I mean, this is ridiculous.

00:44:35.980 It is.

00:44:36.780 And you know, we're, you know, we love this.

00:44:41.180 We all love this country and we're smart people.

00:44:44.360 And we're a lot of us are from the lot of people who are at each other are from a lot

00:44:49.460 of the same places and have the same, actually the same core values.

00:44:54.100 When stuff like this, you make a great point.

00:44:56.000 When stuff like this happens, those other things seem so trivial and actually would be

00:45:01.220 so easy to come to an agreement on or get around in some way.

00:45:06.480 Do you know what I mean?

00:45:07.120 Like, let's work this out.

00:45:09.580 We love this country.

00:45:10.960 It's an amazing place.

00:45:12.400 We're, we're living in, you know, all this wonderful time as far as technology and all

00:45:17.320 the things that are happening.

00:45:18.220 And, but to, to see something like this, and then we're like, like you just said a few

00:45:24.140 days ago with Dr.

00:45:25.120 Seuss book, it's so stupid, you know, I mean, yeah, it seems like our lives are so short and

00:45:33.420 so precious and we're wasting time screwing around with that stuff.

00:45:38.540 See John, I mean, there's no bringing back the 50 people that have been killed there.

00:45:44.080 That's not, but you know what?

00:45:45.460 We could still come to some reasonable converse or reasonable understanding about statues, right?

00:45:51.560 I mean, there's nobody dead there, right?

00:45:54.320 Columbus day being offensive to some people.

00:45:56.540 Okay.

00:45:56.920 We can have that discussion because nobody's dead.

00:45:59.820 Right.

00:46:00.740 I see.

00:46:01.340 Yeah.

00:46:01.500 We're getting, um, we're getting tied up in, in things that are wasting our lives actually.

00:46:08.180 So it's time to kind of refocus and get back to things that are really important, like

00:46:13.320 human life.

00:46:14.700 Exactly.

00:46:14.880 Right.

00:46:15.120 That, that may matter.

00:46:16.180 Okay.

00:46:16.940 John D.

00:46:17.640 Domenico, buddy.

00:46:18.360 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:46:19.540 Okay.

00:46:20.260 Uh, thank you guys.

00:46:21.540 And, um, thanks for, you know, all your prayers for Las Vegas.

00:46:25.560 And, uh, this is a great town and we're going to come back and, uh, be, would, this is a

00:46:31.880 place to come and have a great time.

00:46:34.180 And, uh, the police are amazing and the first responders, as I said.

00:46:37.760 So, all right, John, thanks, buddy.

00:46:39.980 What I'll do is I'll tweet out a link to John's account as well.

00:46:42.460 So you can find him.

00:46:43.360 He's a, he's a good guy.

00:46:44.460 Okay.

00:46:45.780 Weird breaking news.

00:46:48.540 ISIS has claimed responsibility for Las Vegas shooting.

00:46:51.920 Come on.

00:46:52.740 And Cal, I sent you a picture of the news.

00:46:55.840 Are you able to read what I sent you?

00:46:57.820 Is that like your language?

00:46:59.500 Uh, I can translate.

00:47:01.040 Let me try to find it first though.

00:47:02.480 Uh, you send me a picture of, uh, yeah.

00:47:05.460 Cause according to the news, everybody's reporting on this.

00:47:07.680 Now they're saying that ISIS has now claimed something saying that he's been a long supporter

00:47:14.520 of the ISIS, whatever they want to call that.

00:47:16.700 But I sent it to Cal cause Cal is our in-house Muslim.

00:47:19.580 He's right.

00:47:20.080 He's a 64 year old white guy from a retirement community in Vegas.

00:47:24.120 So they're radicalizing them.

00:47:25.820 Now they're going after the seniors.

00:47:27.720 ISIS is, is radicalizing the seniors now.

00:47:32.020 If that's the case, this is a whole other, uh, this is, this is a whole new ball game.

00:47:36.800 That's bizarre.

00:47:37.940 All right.

00:47:38.460 Now it could just be that ISIS is like, we'll claim everything.

00:47:42.020 Yeah.

00:47:42.620 Cause I've often wondered that they claimed, uh, uh, there was a stabbing, uh, two women

00:47:47.180 were stabbed to death in France by another woman and ISIS took credit for it.

00:47:51.520 I mean, how genius is that if you're ISIS to just claim everything bad, people think

00:47:57.400 you're everywhere.

00:47:58.280 Yeah.

00:47:58.400 ISIS is saying the shooter converted to Islam months ago.

00:48:02.480 Oh my gosh.

00:48:04.080 Uh, Cal, do you have any insight to this?

00:48:06.920 What do I know?

00:48:07.480 Every, every freak that converts?

00:48:09.060 No, you're not on the newsletter.

00:48:12.160 No, I'm sorry.

00:48:13.040 I'm sorry.

00:48:14.020 Okay.

00:48:14.200 You guys would get a newsletter.

00:48:15.600 Hey, we got a new one.

00:48:16.880 We lost one.

00:48:17.800 I missed the communication.

00:48:18.900 Whatever it is.

00:48:19.260 Okay.

00:48:19.600 Jeez.

00:48:20.240 Okay.

00:48:20.540 I'm just checking.

00:48:21.400 Just wanted to make sure.

00:48:22.340 Quick break back with more on the Glenn Beck program.

00:48:24.280 Glenn Beck.

00:48:35.420 Glenn Beck.

00:48:38.340 This just in ISIS has now claimed responsibility for hurricane Maria.

00:48:44.660 Also, uh, hurricane Harvey and hurricane Irma.

00:48:48.000 Do we have any word on hurricane Jose?

00:48:50.380 No, they're not responsible.

00:48:51.320 That just went out to the ocean.

00:48:52.300 They're not, that's not, they didn't do any damage.

00:48:55.040 No, that was not, that's not them.

00:48:57.160 Maria, Maria, that's theirs.

00:48:59.000 That's right.

00:48:59.460 They do damage.

00:49:00.380 So should Puerto Rico be going, you know, stand against Islamic terrorists?

00:49:05.240 Yes, they should.

00:49:06.140 Obviously those hurricanes are Islamic terrorism.

00:49:08.720 I mean, fundamentalists in ISIS creating those hurricanes.

00:49:11.920 Are they doing the rain dance too?

00:49:13.420 Oh, uh, I, I mean, it's, it's just in ISIS.

00:49:16.940 Yes.

00:49:17.100 Islam's responsibility for when you eat too much ice cream, you get brain freeze.

00:49:22.720 That is ISIS.

00:49:23.660 Yes.

00:49:23.960 That is us.

00:49:25.020 Right.

00:49:26.520 You know, when it hurts, that's us.

00:49:28.940 ISIS today.

00:49:29.840 When you walk around the corner and you stop your toe on the coffee table.

00:49:32.660 Is that also?

00:49:33.520 That was all us.

00:49:34.120 That's all the planning.

00:49:35.220 It's taken many years to come up with it.

00:49:37.300 We are evil geniuses.

00:49:38.260 Thank you.

00:49:38.420 So Kyle, you have the official translation of that tweet.

00:49:42.020 Yeah.

00:49:42.500 So this is, the source is the AMAC agency.

00:49:45.300 I don't know how reputable it is, but it's at Doc Thompson show.

00:49:49.200 I'll tweet it so you can see it.

00:49:50.440 It's in foreign language.

00:49:51.400 What, what foreign language is that?

00:49:53.080 Arabic.

00:49:54.320 I thought it was Muslim.

00:49:55.620 Okay.

00:49:56.120 What is Muslim?

00:49:56.880 Uh, the AMAC agency says the execution of the Las Vegas, uh, uh, people became, sorry,

00:50:06.380 the, uh, the, the, the shooter became a Muslim a few months ago.

00:50:11.860 That's all it says.

00:50:13.000 Oh, it doesn't say anything else other than what I said.

00:50:14.920 No, the AMAC agency says the, the shooter became a Muslim a few months ago.

00:50:19.800 Okay.

00:50:20.180 I mean, that's possible.

00:50:22.420 It seems, which seems more likely the guy did convert.

00:50:26.560 It went through all of this or ISIS is just claiming responsibility for something because

00:50:31.960 I think just ISIS is claiming responsibility because it's hot on the news right now.

00:50:36.420 I got to tell you, Cal, I hope it's true.

00:50:38.740 I hope he converted.

00:50:40.280 I mean, I know you don't, you're hoping, please, I'm tired of this, right?

00:50:44.900 I am.

00:50:45.280 I mean, it's, it's horrible.

00:50:46.400 It would, I would be shocked.

00:50:48.480 Well, the only reason I say that is, is not for the political nature.

00:50:51.600 I just, it would be the ultimate twist in, in an already bizarre and shocking story.

00:50:57.900 It would be.

00:50:58.880 It would definitely be that.

00:50:59.700 I would, I wouldn't argue that at all.

00:51:01.080 I mean, I'm an old 64 year old.

00:51:03.640 Right.

00:51:03.820 I'm not making Vegas.

00:51:04.840 Yeah, exactly.

00:51:05.500 I'm not making light of this at all.

00:51:07.000 I'm just saying that would be just bizarrely interesting.

00:51:11.580 Have, have they run out of people to recruit?

00:51:15.260 They got into the six year old people.

00:51:17.780 Hey, no, I guess.

00:51:19.160 Like, what about me?

00:51:20.040 I'm, I'm, I'm a little offended.

00:51:21.800 That they haven't tried to recruit you?

00:51:23.180 Yeah.

00:51:24.200 I don't know if they go with, uh, pudgy Puerto Ricans.

00:51:27.480 It's better than a 65 year old.

00:51:29.320 I don't know.

00:51:30.100 I don't know.

00:51:30.840 Maybe they have some sort of standard you can't reach.

00:51:33.640 Highly offended.

00:51:34.280 I mean, how troubling is that?

00:51:35.740 That's what I'm saying.

00:51:36.820 No, that's, you shouldn't be offended.

00:51:38.080 You should like try to get your act together.

00:51:39.780 They don't want you.

00:51:40.720 Mr. Chris Cruz, we are sorry to inform you.

00:51:42.820 You have been rejected from the ISIS university.

00:51:46.220 Wow.

00:51:46.620 Just to not meet the standards that we are looking for.

00:51:49.520 Wow.

00:51:50.440 Yeah.

00:51:50.640 That's a, that's pretty shocking.

00:51:52.060 Pretty interesting though.

00:51:53.140 All right.

00:51:53.380 Get some more calls here.

00:51:54.200 Let's go to Florida.

00:51:54.900 Chris, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:56.260 Thank you for holding.

00:51:56.960 How are you?

00:51:58.500 Good.

00:51:58.900 Um, I know it's inevitable that this will be compared to the Pulse nightclub shooting,

00:52:04.380 but these are very, very different situations.

00:52:08.020 In Las Vegas, you had a guy that had an extremely good vantage point and an extremely sheltered

00:52:15.320 position.

00:52:16.100 There's really nothing anybody could have done from that music area to, you know, to stop

00:52:23.860 him.

00:52:24.280 Whereas with Pulse, you had the shooter actually in the same room, vulnerable to the same extent

00:52:32.500 that everyone else was.

00:52:33.560 The irony here is that the gun control, um, worked against the victims because no one

00:52:40.760 was allowed to carry a gun in the building because it was an alcohol, you know, they served

00:52:46.860 alcohol as a bar.

00:52:48.420 Um, well, this is, although Chris, this is one of those scenarios.

00:52:51.100 And as much as I, I mean, I would still want a gun because you want to protect yourself.

00:52:54.880 It probably wouldn't have done a whole lot of good anyways, because he's, you know, barricaded

00:52:59.020 in that room.

00:52:59.640 You'd have to have the average person with a weapon burst into the room and be able to

00:53:03.800 shoot him.

00:53:04.840 And most people do not have that, that skill level or would do that.

00:53:08.480 So it's, you know, it's different if it's at a concert and he's on the floor, then people

00:53:12.660 will pull out their gun and shoot him.

00:53:14.580 Um, not that I still wouldn't rather have one.

00:53:16.480 I'm just saying it's not the same scenario.

00:53:18.220 He was kind of barricaded in.

00:53:20.900 Okay.

00:53:21.680 Thanks, buddy.

00:53:22.280 Appreciate the comment.

00:53:23.100 Thank you so much.

00:53:23.740 Um, this, an additional tragedy to this is that now people have come up with a new way

00:53:30.600 to inflict pain and suffering and death on people.

00:53:34.280 I have over the years, because I just have a twisted brain like that thought of all kinds

00:53:39.160 of scenarios where people could do great harm.

00:53:41.180 I think about it whenever I go to church, you know, I'm kneeling and praying.

00:53:43.880 Is somebody going to burst in?

00:53:45.020 We've seen that.

00:53:45.720 And I've thought about this scenario, somebody from a high vantage point from out of Las Vegas

00:53:49.640 window.

00:53:50.040 I've thought about it at concerts before, and I've not spoken a lot about it because

00:53:54.280 I don't want to give anybody ideas that they haven't already come up with.

00:53:57.280 But now that this is out there, does the next knucklehead go, I can do this.

00:54:02.400 I mean, think about it on some level.

00:54:04.300 And of course the media has to cover this stuff.

00:54:06.540 I'm not chastising that, but some of these kids that have shot up schools have shot up

00:54:10.580 schools because they got the idea from other kids who've shot up schools.

00:54:15.340 Is this going to be a thing now?

00:54:20.040 Glenn Beck.

00:54:42.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:54:45.160 It's Doc Thompson from the Morning Blaze.

00:54:46.720 Pinch hitting for Glenn today.

00:54:47.820 Got some tweets coming in at Doc Thompson Show.

00:54:50.320 Hashtag what I learned today.

00:54:51.260 It's simple at Real Chris Cruz.

00:54:53.140 ISIS requires their American terrorists speak English.

00:54:56.140 That's very offensive because I'm actually speaking English right now.

00:55:00.380 That's...

00:55:01.020 The verdict's still out on that.

00:55:01.840 That's English?

00:55:03.020 Can you understand me?

00:55:05.520 Perhaps we just go to another tweet.

00:55:07.160 I am Corbin tweeting hashtag what I learned today.

00:55:09.100 At Real Chris Cruz doesn't qualify for ISIS recruitment because of questionable sexuality.

00:55:13.720 No.

00:55:14.280 Hashtag mani-pedi.

00:55:14.900 No, no, no.

00:55:15.700 There's perfectly good men out there that takes care of their hands and feet like I do.

00:55:20.660 Well...

00:55:20.940 And my beard and my haircut is...

00:55:22.960 Well, I don't know about that.

00:55:24.480 What?

00:55:25.020 You don't get haircuts?

00:55:27.400 Perhaps we just move along.

00:55:29.000 Okay.

00:55:29.220 You can tweet at the program, at Doc Thompson Show, at Real Chris Cruz, and at Cal79.

00:55:33.560 That's K-A-L-79.

00:55:34.960 We're from the Morning Blaze.

00:55:36.040 If you want to know more about us, just go to theblazeradio.com.

00:55:40.140 With history as my guide...

00:55:41.540 Oh, by the way, we are going to move along.

00:55:44.220 We'll get back to some of the information on what happened in Las Vegas in a couple of minutes.

00:55:47.980 The president is due to speak soon.

00:55:50.140 Likely, some of our affiliates will break away and carry some of that.

00:55:54.100 We're going to monitor it and see if there's anything other than standard jargon.

00:55:58.180 You know, it's still nice to hear from a president, but usually it's pretty standard-speak and, you know, the aftermath of a tragedy.

00:56:04.120 If it's worthy, we'll carry some of it in a little while, as some of our affiliates tune away and carry some of that and then tune back in.

00:56:12.440 If you miss this next segment, you're going to want to go to iTunes and listen to this program, the Glenn Beck program, because this is a guest you definitely want to hear from.

00:56:20.620 He's one of my favorite guests over the last year that we've had on the Morning Blaze.

00:56:24.140 With history as my guide, I feel comfortable in saying that we're going to cram about three interviews worth of interviews into one.

00:56:31.680 Peter Shankman, author of Faster Than Normal, Turbocharge Your Focus, Productivity, and Success with the Secrets of the ADHD Brain.

00:56:38.500 Hey, Peter, how are you?

00:56:40.120 Good to talk to you today. How are you?

00:56:41.360 Doing well, sir.

00:56:42.440 Loved having you on our morning program, because we spend a lot of time talking about entrepreneurs and ways people can better their life,

00:56:49.340 and we're all looking for some advantage to say, what can I do to make life better for my family?

00:56:54.000 And I think you may have solved some of the problems with your book.

00:56:57.620 Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

00:56:58.720 Yeah, the problems that I've solved and the book that I wrote basically came from me having to figure out how to survive with a sort of a different brain, as it were.

00:57:07.520 I've had ADHD all my life, and when I was growing up, it wasn't ADHD.

00:57:12.780 It didn't exist in that. It was sit down, you're disrupting the class disease.

00:57:15.600 You're a bad kid.

00:57:17.380 Oh, God, I was terrible.

00:57:18.460 Yeah, I wasn't intentionally terrible, but my brain was always looking for those chemicals, that dopamine, that serotonin, that adrenaline, that normal people make plenty of,

00:57:27.360 and that people with ADHD are constantly hunting for, to sort of get the same level of productivity that regular people have.

00:57:35.720 Once I realized how to do it, you know, my productivity shot through the roof, and now I'm, yeah, I've started and sold three companies.

00:57:43.100 I've written five books.

00:57:45.140 Yeah, I do things pretty fast.

00:57:47.460 Runner, skydiver, podcaster, Ironman triathlete.

00:57:50.620 You know, you've been added to my list of people I hate because you're too successful.

00:57:55.020 No, it's not even successful.

00:57:57.220 You should. You're in good company.

00:57:58.780 It's not just successful.

00:57:59.800 It's people that accomplish.

00:58:01.080 I should have done something.

00:58:02.100 Done something.

00:58:03.040 With no lives.

00:58:03.660 Yeah, exactly, and multiple things, despite odds.

00:58:06.840 I mean, it's incredible what you've accomplished.

00:58:10.120 Well, thank you.

00:58:10.740 I mean, you know, the book comes out tomorrow, Faster Than Normal, and I wrote it basically because I started this podcast about two years ago,

00:58:17.020 interviewing other people with ADHD who, you know, are successful celebrities, CEOs.

00:58:21.880 We've had Tony Robbins, Seth Godin, Cameron Harreld, people like that, and what we found out is that, yeah, there's this sort of, you know,

00:58:29.820 there's two types of people with ADHD.

00:58:31.360 There's the people who look at it as a curse and then people who understand that it actually can be a gift,

00:58:36.380 but to get there, you sort of have to set up these life rules for yourself that I've had to do,

00:58:40.800 and what I realized, what made me write the book was I realized that the life rules that I've set up are pretty much,

00:58:47.300 anyone can use them.

00:58:49.020 You don't have to have ADHD.

00:58:50.380 Anyone can use them and gain, like, a few hours of productivity or a few hours of extra time, as it were, in their day.

00:58:55.900 You know, I love when people say, oh, I don't have enough time to do that.

00:58:58.360 I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure part of the planet you're on revolves around the sun the same speed that the part of the planet I'm on does.

00:59:04.960 Right?

00:59:05.280 And so, you know, I don't have any time.

00:59:06.780 It's kind of a lie.

00:59:07.980 You know, we all have the same 24 hours.

00:59:09.600 So, one of the reasons I like the book is not just because you've come up with a good idea here and something that will help people,

00:59:16.880 but you did it because you found a way to not only work around a problem but use that problem to your advantage.

00:59:23.960 And this is something I tell some of my coworkers here.

00:59:26.660 I've told my wife.

00:59:27.440 You've got to find a system that will work for you.

00:59:30.620 For example, I have a little bit of the ADHD, and I know that I can't stay focused all day long.

00:59:37.600 So, I don't set a rigid schedule for myself, Peter.

00:59:40.940 I leave myself some playtime.

00:59:43.580 So, if something's normally going to take a half an hour, you know, I schedule 45 minutes for it because I know there's going to be a transition.

00:59:51.380 Exactly.

00:59:51.960 You know, for me, the same thing happens.

00:59:54.400 I'm on the computer all day.

00:59:55.640 You know, I'm creating content.

00:59:56.920 I'm writing.

00:59:57.600 I'm recording the podcast.

00:59:59.280 And I know that when I need to get work done, I have to be in a certain zone.

01:00:02.980 I call it my zone of focus.

01:00:04.260 And the best way for me to be in a zone of focus, like to write my books, I get in an airplane.

01:00:08.500 I think this is hilarious.

01:00:09.700 This story is so funny.

01:00:11.600 Faster Than Normal was written on a round trip to Asia and back.

01:00:16.600 Or two rounds of Asia and back.

01:00:17.740 My previous book was actually written.

01:00:19.760 I had six months to write it.

01:00:21.400 With two weeks left, the publisher called me.

01:00:24.820 Hey, I have a book.

01:00:25.340 I'm like, oh, it's going great.

01:00:26.360 Yeah, I'm almost done.

01:00:26.980 I hadn't written a thing.

01:00:27.680 And I hung up the phone, went to the United Airlines website, booked a round trip, business

01:00:32.420 class flight to Tokyo for the next day, got on a plane with my laptop and my backpack

01:00:37.400 and a jacket and my headphones.

01:00:39.500 And I wrote chapters one through five on the flight to Tokyo, landed, went through immigration,

01:00:44.040 came back through immigration, went back to the lounge, got back on the same plane, same

01:00:48.120 seat, two hours later, wrote chapters six through 10 on the flight home, landed 31 hours

01:00:52.160 later, smelled a little bit, but I had a book.

01:00:54.720 Wow.

01:00:55.080 You know, people say, oh my God, you're crazy.

01:00:56.740 You spent $5,000 to go nowhere.

01:00:58.000 I'm like, no, I spent $5,000 to write a book in 31 hours because that's how I do it.

01:01:02.140 By the way, last minute scheduling a flight, no luggage.

01:01:06.400 I just know you're on a list too.

01:01:07.800 I'm on somebody's list.

01:01:09.300 I'm definitely on a list, no question about it.

01:01:10.880 But, and it's funny because, you know, when I got back, I went through, I went through

01:01:15.680 immigration.

01:01:16.240 The guy says, you know, hey, where are you coming from?

01:01:18.000 And I have the, I have the global entry card, right?

01:01:19.580 I use the machine and then they take your, they take your, that little receipt and they

01:01:23.880 look at it and the guy goes, oh, how long were you in Asia?

01:01:26.140 I'm like, oh, a couple of days, a little bit of time.

01:01:29.520 And the guy's like, he looked at me straight and he goes, okay.

01:01:33.480 45 minutes.

01:01:34.120 That's true, but I guess it didn't look threatening, but yeah, it was funny.

01:01:36.460 But yeah, that's, that's what I have to do.

01:01:37.800 And the thing about it is once you understand what works for you, right, just do that.

01:01:43.100 And, and, you know, who cares what anyone else does?

01:01:45.360 Right.

01:01:45.760 It's finding the system that works for you because we all have different, uh, triggers

01:01:50.140 and, um, benefits and negatives.

01:01:52.560 We all have different things in our lives.

01:01:54.480 We have different schedules.

01:01:55.480 So just find the system that works for you.

01:01:57.980 Exactly.

01:01:58.440 I mean, there are people who, you know, I, I, I can't drink right there.

01:02:01.580 I quit drinking a couple of years ago because when you have ADHD,

01:02:04.120 you pretty much have two speeds.

01:02:05.520 You have like namaste and, and I'll kill you.

01:02:08.040 And there's really no middle ground there.

01:02:10.720 So it's like leftover pizza.

01:02:11.820 I don't have one drink, right?

01:02:13.980 Leftover pizza is not real either.

01:02:15.320 I, you, people order pizza, they have two slices, they put the rest in the fridge for

01:02:18.500 like the next day.

01:02:19.360 It's called leftover pizza.

01:02:20.380 I've never experienced it.

01:02:22.520 I order a pizza, I eat the pizza.

01:02:24.300 And so, you know, you have to learn what triggers affect you, how to avoid them.

01:02:29.200 Um, you know, what works for you and what doesn't.

01:02:30.940 And I have, um, my, my favorite thing that I tell people, I have two sides of my closet.

01:02:36.100 Um, and they're labeled.

01:02:37.700 One side says office and travel, and that's t-shirt and jeans.

01:02:41.320 And the other side says speaking or TV.

01:02:43.660 And that's a button down shirt, jacket and jeans.

01:02:45.540 And that's it.

01:02:46.500 Right?

01:02:46.740 My suits, my, my vests, my sweaters, they're in another closet in another room because

01:02:51.780 if I had to look at those every day to try to figure out what to wear, oh my God, that

01:02:56.320 sweater.

01:02:56.680 I remember that sweater.

01:02:57.440 Laura gave me that sweater.

01:02:58.260 I wonder how she's doing.

01:02:59.120 I should look her up.

01:02:59.760 It's three hours later.

01:03:00.440 I'm naked in the living room on Facebook and I haven't left the house.

01:03:04.180 But you've contacted Laura or at least tried to.

01:03:07.120 Oh, Laura.

01:03:07.540 But you know, it's funny because I ask people, um, I go on my Twitter account, I'm at Peter

01:03:11.500 Shank, and I go, you know, tell me what you do to, to save time and, you know, the number

01:03:17.900 one answer is, hands down, is eliminate choice.

01:03:21.620 Right?

01:03:22.080 The less you can focus on stupid things to think about, the more your brain has the ability

01:03:26.160 to think about good things.

01:03:27.100 You know, so let's have to focus on what I have to wear or, you know, clothing.

01:03:31.020 I mean, I sleep in my gym clothes.

01:03:32.720 And then the decision when I wake up in the morning, I'm in my gym clothes.

01:03:35.600 The lights are on.

01:03:36.100 The decision to go to the gym has pretty much been made for me.

01:03:38.780 See, and that's, I mean, look at, uh, it was an Einstein, I don't know if it's true or

01:03:43.180 not, but they always said he wore the same thing every day.

01:03:45.140 So he just eliminated choice, right?

01:03:47.060 Yeah.

01:03:47.320 Uh, Zuckerberg had his hoodies.

01:03:48.620 Obama has, you know, three suits that he wears.

01:03:50.260 It's, they eliminate choice because there are other things that are more important to

01:03:53.300 think about.

01:03:54.020 And so, okay, so let's look at it this way.

01:03:55.780 Let's say, you know what though, Peter, um, I have to wear a variety for whatever the reason

01:04:00.840 my job requires that I can't wear only, I have to wear something different and I

01:04:04.380 have to have, I have to have at least 30 outfits.

01:04:06.700 Well, then hang 30 of them and just take the next one, right?

01:04:10.740 Exactly.

01:04:11.140 Either do that or, you know, what I've found fascinating is that you can mix and match,

01:04:14.640 right?

01:04:15.240 So I don't, I don't wear the same thing.

01:04:17.080 I mean, the jeans might be the same, but I have a nice collection of quality, high,

01:04:21.100 high quality t-shirts.

01:04:22.000 And, and, you know, my, my blazers are very nice and I just know that I can grab, it's

01:04:26.820 like a Chinese restaurant menu, right?

01:04:28.140 One from column A, one from column B and I'm done.

01:04:30.040 But, but you set up that system.

01:04:31.460 So the same thing is, even if you have to wear more things, you just set it up and say,

01:04:35.780 grab from this, grab to that, right?

01:04:37.820 You get the stuff that, that, um, is otherwise, uh, you know, frustrating you or that's otherwise

01:04:44.120 confusing.

01:04:44.580 You get that out of the way, right?

01:04:45.880 I know I'm not going to wear that vest.

01:04:47.480 It's a very nice vest that my ex-mother-in-law gave me, right?

01:04:49.900 I'm never going to wear that vest, right?

01:04:51.800 I'm not going to throw it out because God, you know, one day she comes over, I have to

01:04:54.060 show her that I have the vest, but so I'll keep it in the other closet.

01:04:55.860 I don't think about it.

01:04:57.440 It's really good.

01:04:58.520 The book is Faster Than Normal.

01:05:00.440 You can also follow Peter Shankman on Twitter.

01:05:03.400 It's at Peter Shankman.

01:05:04.540 Did I get that right?

01:05:05.540 Yeah, you did.

01:05:06.080 Yep.

01:05:06.520 All right.

01:05:06.900 So, uh, I'm going to tweet out a link to the book or whatever.

01:05:09.340 Peter, love having you on.

01:05:10.400 I think you got a great message and hopefully we'll have you back, uh, in the near future on

01:05:13.600 The Morning Blaze as well.

01:05:15.040 Anytime.

01:05:15.500 Thanks so much.

01:05:16.060 Thanks, buddy.

01:05:16.500 Appreciate you joining us.

01:05:17.260 I'm going to get a quick break.

01:05:18.340 We're still waiting words from President Trump about the shooting in Las Vegas.

01:05:22.180 Uh, we'll cut in, at least carry some of that when we come back on this, the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:29.180 Glenn Beck.

01:05:41.260 Glenn Beck.

01:05:42.500 Let's go right now to the president speaking on the shooting in Las Vegas.

01:05:45.920 A large crowd at a country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada.

01:05:54.380 He brutally murdered more than 50 people and wounded hundreds more.

01:06:02.420 It was an act of pure evil.

01:06:05.380 The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are working closely with local authorities to

01:06:14.080 assist with the investigation and they will provide updates as to the investigation and

01:06:21.460 how it develops.

01:06:22.300 I want to thank the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and all of the first responders for

01:06:31.540 their courageous efforts and for helping to save the lives of so many.

01:06:37.120 The speed with which they acted is miraculous and prevented further loss of life.

01:06:46.580 To have found the shooter so quickly after the first shots were fired is something for which

01:06:52.900 we will always be thankful and grateful.

01:06:57.040 It shows what true professionalism is all about.

01:07:03.500 Hundreds of our fellow citizens are now mourning the sudden loss of a loved one, a parent, a child,

01:07:11.200 a brother or sister.

01:07:14.240 We cannot fathom their pain.

01:07:15.900 We cannot imagine their loss.

01:07:20.000 To the families of the victims, we are praying for you and we are here for you.

01:07:26.400 And we ask God to help see you through this very dark period.

01:07:33.740 Scripture teaches us the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

01:07:43.200 We seek comfort in those words, for we know that God lives in the hearts of those who grieve.

01:07:50.820 To the wounded who are now recovering in hospitals, we are praying for your full and speedy recovery

01:07:58.340 and pledge to you our support from this day forward.

01:08:04.000 In memory of the fallen, I have directed that our great flag be flown at half staff.

01:08:10.560 I will be visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with law enforcement, first responders

01:08:16.640 and the families of the victims.

01:08:20.560 In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one.

01:08:28.080 And it always has.

01:08:30.800 We call upon the bonds that unite us, our faith, our family and our shared values.

01:08:37.700 We call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties of community and the comfort of our common humanity.

01:08:47.380 Our unity cannot be shattered by evil.

01:08:50.240 Our bonds cannot be broken by violence.

01:08:53.340 And though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love

01:09:01.120 that defines us today and always will forever.

01:09:08.140 In times such as these, I know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos, some kind

01:09:14.960 of light in the darkness.

01:09:17.660 The answers do not come easy.

01:09:21.920 But we can take solace knowing that even the darkest space can be brightened by a single

01:09:28.080 light and even the most terrible despair can be illuminated by a single ray of hope.

01:09:37.480 Melania and I are praying for every American who has been hurt, wounded or lost.

01:09:43.540 The ones they love so dearly in this terrible, terrible attack.

01:09:49.880 We pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace.

01:09:54.160 And we pray for the day when evil is banished and the innocent are safe from hatred and from

01:10:01.640 fear.

01:10:03.380 May God bless the souls of the lives that are lost.

01:10:09.420 May God give us the grace of healing.

01:10:13.840 And may God provide the grieving families with strength to carry on.

01:10:20.160 Thank you.

01:10:21.160 God bless America.

01:10:22.160 Thank you.

01:10:23.160 The president speaking on the tragedy that unfolded last night in Las Vegas.

01:10:27.620 We'll have more on that as well as some other news stories coming up on the Glenn Beck program.

01:10:31.660 Glenn Beck.

01:10:33.660 Glenn Beck.

01:10:34.660 Glenn Beck.

01:10:35.660 Glenn Beck.

01:10:39.420 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn.

01:10:48.020 Thanks so much for joining us.

01:10:49.600 Tragedy unfolding late last night in Las Vegas.

01:10:52.880 If you haven't heard yet, I'll give you a quick update on the details and we'll get back

01:10:56.040 to some of your calls.

01:10:56.900 We'll also cover a little bit more of the daily news in just a few minutes as well.

01:11:01.100 But if you want to join the program, best way to do it is 888-727-BECK.

01:11:05.560 That's 888-727-BECK.

01:11:08.500 You can also join us on Twitter.

01:11:10.440 We use the hashtag What I Learned Today.

01:11:12.200 Or you can just tweet at Doc Thompson Show at Real Chris Cruz.

01:11:17.080 And that's Chris with a K, Cruz with a C.

01:11:19.900 Or at Cal 79.

01:11:21.280 That's KAL 79.

01:11:24.700 And they're part of the morning crew on the Blaze Radio Network with me.

01:11:28.540 If you want details on that, it's at theblazeradio.com or theblazeradio.com.

01:11:32.840 So we've got new information on the suspect, Stephen Paddock.

01:11:37.640 Before we get to that, though, I'll give you the details.

01:11:39.960 Now, as it stands, 50 people dead and over 400 people injured in a shooting last night

01:11:45.520 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

01:11:48.860 64-year-old Stephen Paddock had a room on the 32nd floor.

01:11:54.600 New information says that he's been staying there since September 28th?

01:11:58.740 Yes.

01:11:59.300 So that would have been, is that right, Chris?

01:12:01.240 September 28th?

01:12:01.920 Yes, September 28th.

01:12:03.020 So that was last Thursday.

01:12:04.700 That's when he checked into the hotel.

01:12:07.420 So he would have stayed Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, and then last night.

01:12:11.480 Which makes sense if you're kind of casing the area.

01:12:14.640 Yeah, because the event started on Friday, I believe.

01:12:18.700 It was a weekend event.

01:12:19.960 Yeah, three-day music fest, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

01:12:22.320 So that kind of plays out on the mindset of when you're casing an area, you know, you

01:12:27.020 get there before and then you plan it out.

01:12:29.340 Interesting, though, he waited until Sunday night.

01:12:31.160 That's one of the things where we're talking about off air.

01:12:32.780 It's like, what took him so long?

01:12:34.180 Because you are from Vegas.

01:12:35.780 Well, you lived in Vegas.

01:12:36.540 For a couple years, yeah.

01:12:37.280 And then you say that Saturday to Sunday night, that's kind of like a very...

01:12:42.320 I mean, Sunday night's busy, too.

01:12:43.580 Vegas is always busy.

01:12:44.480 I mean, they say Vegas 24 hours never sleeps.

01:12:47.260 It takes a nap now and then in the wee hours of the morning.

01:12:53.580 But still, Saturday night is still going to be busier than Sunday night.

01:12:59.700 And this was pretty late Sunday.

01:13:01.560 Obviously, he was still looking at those thousands of people.

01:13:04.480 What, 40,000, they say, may have been at the concert.

01:13:07.200 That's still a pretty big target.

01:13:09.020 And he also shot people on the street, across the street, down in front as well.

01:13:14.480 But had the room since Thursday night.

01:13:18.380 They also have details now on some of his past.

01:13:21.360 They say he was...

01:13:22.540 This is really interesting.

01:13:23.900 They say he was known to law enforcement.

01:13:27.620 Again, it goes back to...

01:13:29.120 Known?

01:13:29.260 What does that mean?

01:13:30.420 Okay.

01:13:30.720 Now, they said he had a criminal record going back to when he lived in San Francisco.

01:13:35.400 Okay.

01:13:35.800 But, I mean, that could be anything.

01:13:37.700 It could be a speeding ticket.

01:13:38.480 It could be a simple assault.

01:13:39.780 You got into a bar fight.

01:13:40.900 It could be something like that.

01:13:43.000 Criminal usually doesn't mean speeding.

01:13:44.620 But it could be something less serious.

01:13:46.400 But known to law enforcement almost sounds like they're watching him.

01:13:50.020 Yeah.

01:13:50.220 And they also said this with the pulse shooting suspects.

01:13:55.020 Yeah.

01:13:55.240 They say a lot of those.

01:13:56.260 They were like, oh, he was in our radar.

01:13:58.500 Right.

01:13:59.000 They say if it's terrorism or somebody they suspect that could be a terrorist, eventually

01:14:04.220 they say, no, no law enforcement.

01:14:06.160 Exactly.

01:14:06.360 We were watching him.

01:14:08.060 Or, like...

01:14:08.720 In other words, you're likely to do something bad.

01:14:12.180 Right?

01:14:12.720 I mean...

01:14:13.220 Yeah.

01:14:13.400 Did he actually get radicalized by ISIS?

01:14:15.620 Now, it kind of...

01:14:16.980 We're connecting the dots here on air.

01:14:19.400 It's like ISIS says we claim responsibility.

01:14:22.540 We've...

01:14:22.900 You know, he's been turned on our side for, like, months ago.

01:14:26.660 Now, you have this saying that he was known by the law enforcement.

01:14:30.680 Then that also plays out to a scenario, I'll tell you this, in the morning during our show,

01:14:35.140 was that Trump even said is that our responders, you know, they got there nice and quickly.

01:14:41.240 We were able to get there quickly.

01:14:42.300 But then, also, in the back of my mind, it says, do they get there quickly because he

01:14:47.680 was already known that he was there?

01:14:49.720 No, I think it's just because...

01:14:51.120 I mean, you're firing an automatic weapon in a hotel room.

01:14:55.300 I mean, if people walk across the fort loudly in a hotel room, I'm like, what the heck's

01:15:02.520 going on next door?

01:15:03.640 Right?

01:15:04.160 I mean, an automatic weapon, it's going to be incredibly loud.

01:15:07.060 People three, four floors down said it sounded like a jackhammer.

01:15:10.400 Oh, wow.

01:15:10.820 So, that makes a lot of sense.

01:15:14.260 I mean, okay, so, you're going to know if you're at the front desk or security at the

01:15:19.420 hotel within minutes that something is going on like that, right?

01:15:22.740 But then, you know, hotel security is not going to break in.

01:15:25.840 I think they said he shot roughly 10 to 15 minutes.

01:15:29.040 Yes.

01:15:29.440 That sounds about right.

01:15:30.720 I mean, it's going to take a couple minutes before the, you know, front desk is notified.

01:15:34.260 Wait a minute, what's going on?

01:15:35.260 Somebody's actually shooting outside.

01:15:36.820 Law enforcement has to get there.

01:15:38.920 They have to make sure they get to spot.

01:15:40.600 They have to get SWAT, too.

01:15:42.240 Yeah.

01:15:42.540 You know, because you got to make sure what you're doing is smart when you break in to

01:15:47.120 get the guy when you bust in, right?

01:15:48.640 Yeah, man.

01:15:48.900 And we heard the audio from the SWAT team, you know, going from dispatch to the door.

01:15:54.440 So, we know that we're there.

01:15:56.860 Also, they said he had previously lived in San Francisco, Melbourne, Florida, Reno, Nevada,

01:16:04.140 and Mesquite, Texas.

01:16:05.820 And then we also know that his brother lives in Orlando, Florida.

01:16:09.480 Okay.

01:16:10.100 Anybody moves this much is shady.

01:16:13.040 Okay, wait a minute.

01:16:13.920 I've moved even more than that.

01:16:16.420 Anybody that's not in broadcasting and moves this much is shady.

01:16:20.060 It just comes with the territory when you're a broadcaster.

01:16:25.240 They said, okay, so there was a woman that they were looking for that they now have in

01:16:29.720 custody, Mary Lou Danley.

01:16:31.760 And for a few hours this morning, they couldn't find her.

01:16:34.800 They just knew she was somehow related and acquainted with this guy.

01:16:41.600 They finally took her into custody.

01:16:43.260 They're questioning her now.

01:16:44.560 They now say that she shared a residence with him.

01:16:47.700 I don't know what the status of their relationship was or how much she knew, but a woman on the

01:16:57.020 street being interviewed, and I think we have the audio of this, claimed that this woman

01:17:02.260 stopped her and told her some bad stuff's coming down, right?

01:17:05.180 That a woman.

01:17:06.060 A woman.

01:17:06.460 A woman.

01:17:07.040 We don't know if it was Mary Lou, but a woman stopped her and said, hey, you're about

01:17:11.620 to die.

01:17:12.280 Okay, we have the audio.

01:17:13.400 Here we go.

01:17:13.740 This is a woman being interviewed on the street in Las Vegas.

01:17:16.160 And, I mean, were you thinking, oh my gosh, this woman told us that before we left?

01:17:22.980 Yeah, I thought it had a positive correlation to it.

01:17:25.600 Like, obviously she was telling us that, either to tell us to warn us or to tell us that we

01:17:31.640 were all going to die, and she was part of it.

01:17:33.880 So, okay.

01:17:34.600 Her and her boyfriend were both Hispanic.

01:17:36.920 They were probably about shorter five-footers, probably about 5'5", 5'6".

01:17:41.160 They just looked like everyday people.

01:17:45.780 Can you tell us anything more about them?

01:17:48.180 What they looked like?

01:17:48.820 Why were they escorted out?

01:17:49.920 Were they escorted out because you were feeling uncomfortable about what they said?

01:17:53.100 Yes, because she had been messing with the lady in front of her and telling her that she

01:17:56.340 was going to die.

01:17:57.880 That we're all going to die.

01:17:59.100 So, they escorted her out to make her stop messing around with all the other people in

01:18:04.560 front of them.

01:18:05.000 But, none of us knew that it was going to be serious.

01:18:09.000 Okay.

01:18:10.280 That's really weird.

01:18:11.600 Dude.

01:18:12.400 Well, I mean, okay.

01:18:14.440 I've been on the street where you get street preachers that are, that seems a little crazy.

01:18:18.480 People are crying.

01:18:19.240 I mean, we had just a couple weeks ago, somebody claimed the world was going to end on Saturday.

01:18:23.400 Remember?

01:18:23.680 Oh, yeah.

01:18:24.540 Yeah.

01:18:25.340 So, these people are out there.

01:18:26.960 I'm sure people have said crazy things on the street.

01:18:29.620 But, right before this.

01:18:30.940 45 minutes before the first shooting, you know, started to happen.

01:18:35.460 So, this Mary Lou Danley, based on the picture, did she look Hispanic?

01:18:39.900 She does.

01:18:41.080 She does.

01:18:42.120 Kind of look Hispanic.

01:18:42.640 But, then again, the 65-year-old man or whatever.

01:18:46.520 He's a white guy.

01:18:47.440 He's a white guy.

01:18:48.140 So, you can't confuse them.

01:18:49.660 She's not a Hispanic guy.

01:18:50.560 She's more like Filipino.

01:18:51.980 Yeah.

01:18:52.140 See, I thought she was a little more Asian.

01:18:53.900 But, this woman may have confused.

01:18:55.620 Well, yeah.

01:18:55.920 We all look alike, you know.

01:18:56.900 As long as you're brown, you all look alike.

01:18:58.560 Well, sure.

01:18:59.880 You said it.

01:19:00.600 Western Asia starts looking a little more Middle Eastern, a little darker, a little less traditional Asian.

01:19:08.300 So, it could be, I mean, it could be any number of races.

01:19:11.340 But, the one thing you wouldn't, she wouldn't likely confuse is the Hispanic man.

01:19:16.320 Yes.

01:19:16.660 So, if it was this Mary Lou Danley, who's the Hispanic man with her?

01:19:22.440 Are they culpable in this?

01:19:24.400 If it wasn't her, but they knew about the attack, how do they know about the attack?

01:19:29.100 A lot of questions now being raised because of that one interview.

01:19:33.880 Okay.

01:19:34.580 This is, this is getting really strange here.

01:19:37.660 An FBI source.

01:19:39.020 Now, granted, this is a source.

01:19:41.380 I only got it from one source, one news site.

01:19:45.400 And not your traditional news sites said that this FBI source told them, again, take it at this point until it's confirmed more with a grain of salt.

01:19:59.540 Could be true.

01:20:00.700 Looking like it.

01:20:01.580 We haven't confirmed beyond this.

01:20:03.400 That this Stephen Paddock had radical leanings when it came to politics.

01:20:08.400 What does that mean?

01:20:13.260 You could take that either way.

01:20:15.020 You could take that he's radicalized and, you know, full-blown right wing.

01:20:18.700 Well, it could be radicalized to the left wing.

01:20:20.320 Left wing.

01:20:20.860 Well, and what do they mean radical leanings?

01:20:23.180 I mean, by many, I have radical leanings.

01:20:26.400 Well, true.

01:20:27.540 Do I have radical leanings?

01:20:28.840 Well, you did kind of threaten a sitting president.

01:20:32.260 That was a long time ago, and we're not supposed to bring that up anymore.

01:20:35.300 Oh, okay.

01:20:35.680 Sorry.

01:20:35.880 Now I get to tell the story.

01:20:39.440 I'll tell it tomorrow morning on the Blaze Radio.

01:20:43.520 I mean, I guess, I bet there's a lot of people out there that would look and go, that Doc Thompson radical leanings.

01:20:48.360 Well, anything could be taken as radical.

01:20:50.320 You know, oh, I'm going to speak against Trump.

01:20:52.280 I'm going to hold his bloody head.

01:20:54.380 That's definitely radical.

01:20:55.680 That's radical.

01:20:57.300 Oh, yeah.

01:20:59.000 She meant it as a joke, but it's still radical.

01:21:00.900 It's still radical.

01:21:02.100 All right.

01:21:02.700 So, I guess that's still kind of subjective.

01:21:04.880 And you got the neo-Nazis, too, the wise supremacists.

01:21:07.460 Okay, they're definitely radical.

01:21:08.600 There's radical.

01:21:09.200 Well, there's another phrase for that.

01:21:11.120 Batcrap crazy.

01:21:13.040 And there's another phrase for that that I can't say on the air.

01:21:16.660 Starts with an app, ends with razy.

01:21:22.600 Dirtbags.

01:21:23.040 There's all kinds of names for that.

01:21:25.460 Yeah, this guy, it'll be interesting to see.

01:21:28.660 They say they hopefully will have some additional information on this stuff by this afternoon.

01:21:32.940 A lot of people are coming against us, standing against, you know, for example, you have people

01:21:40.260 saying silence is not enough.

01:21:43.360 You got the gun violence.

01:21:45.720 Oh, okay.

01:21:46.520 So, here we are.

01:21:48.580 It has not even been 12 hours.

01:21:52.160 10, 11 hours since the shooting.

01:21:54.000 And former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has now chimed in.

01:21:58.760 Is this via Twitter?

01:21:59.760 This is via Twitter, yes.

01:22:01.300 She came out and said,

01:22:03.360 Our grief isn't enough.

01:22:05.880 We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.

01:22:14.820 Okay, earlier I started off this program saying we have to stop politicizing stuff.

01:22:20.980 Left, right, stop politicizing tragedy.

01:22:24.980 And how do you know?

01:22:26.140 There's a couple telltale signs.

01:22:28.180 When people start making it a political issue or discussing who's to blame immediately after a tragedy,

01:22:35.780 again, we're still trying to figure out if this guy truly acted alone.

01:22:39.560 We don't know much about his background.

01:22:41.200 We just found out where he has lived within the last 20 minutes, half hour.

01:22:46.300 So, still incredibly early for that.

01:22:49.680 Number two, she passed blame and judgment on who?

01:22:53.580 Not just guns, but the NRA.

01:22:55.820 Yep.

01:22:56.180 Which is also a political issue because she knows the NRA funds people on the right.

01:23:02.940 And then finally, is she telling all of the facts?

01:23:07.460 No, she absolutely is not.

01:23:09.260 Hillary Clinton, you, my friend, are a dirtbag.

01:23:14.380 As if we didn't know that already, a dirtbag for this.

01:23:17.680 There's a little bit more.

01:23:19.060 She goes and says...

01:23:20.000 Wait, there's more?

01:23:20.960 Yeah.

01:23:21.360 She tweeted this.

01:23:22.940 She tweeted a tweet.

01:23:24.660 It took her three tweets to tweet out her whole point of view.

01:23:27.420 But she goes and says, the crowd fled.

01:23:30.260 Was she using the 280?

01:23:32.500 No, I think she didn't get the 280.

01:23:33.620 She's still on the 140?

01:23:34.380 She's still on the 140.

01:23:35.040 So, it takes three of them.

01:23:35.880 Okay, gotcha.

01:23:36.700 All right.

01:23:36.980 Yeah.

01:23:37.280 She goes, the crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

01:23:40.220 Period.

01:23:41.560 Imagine the death if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.

01:23:49.840 Doc, imagine that.

01:23:53.060 A silencer.

01:23:53.860 A silencer.

01:23:55.680 Imagine that.

01:23:56.680 Okay.

01:23:57.180 Okay.

01:23:57.720 Hold on.

01:23:59.820 Hmm.

01:24:01.180 Again, I'm not making this political.

01:24:04.180 I'm correcting some information here.

01:24:07.240 She is not giving you all of the information.

01:24:09.800 She is speaking squarely out of her rectum there.

01:24:13.780 Anyone ever used a silencer?

01:24:15.720 I have.

01:24:16.520 Yeah.

01:24:16.980 Yeah.

01:24:17.300 I mean, it's like the movies you just hear.

01:24:18.800 No, it's not.

01:24:20.320 That's all it is, right?

01:24:23.860 No.

01:24:24.840 It's a little bit louder than that?

01:24:26.140 Yeah.

01:24:26.160 You can still hear some of it.

01:24:27.360 Of course.

01:24:28.300 It's actually still pretty loud.

01:24:30.020 It's not nearly as loud as it would be.

01:24:32.320 A silencer was not going to stop people from being injured or would cause more people to be injured.

01:24:39.860 It caused more chaos, yes.

01:24:40.780 How would it cause more people?

01:24:42.440 Still, the people in the room next door would have heard it.

01:24:45.300 Yes.

01:24:46.680 Would they have gotten there later?

01:24:48.540 Probably not.

01:24:49.740 Would people have gotten to the ground sooner?

01:24:52.300 No.

01:24:53.060 You would have still heard it.

01:24:55.180 And by the way, you're still going to see the jumbotron they have there stop working because it was hit.

01:25:01.660 Yeah.

01:25:01.780 They would have seen people dying.

01:25:03.000 Yeah.

01:25:04.300 Wow.

01:25:04.860 But silencers, silencers, you know.

01:25:07.100 By the way, you know, when you kill someone with a knife in a movie, they make no sound.

01:25:12.180 Oh.

01:25:12.780 So you just put it up and they just, that one's perfectly silent.

01:25:15.420 And the silencer just goes, right?

01:25:19.420 That's all it sounds.

01:25:20.440 Sounds like Star Wars.

01:25:21.280 Yeah.

01:25:22.060 Hillary's getting all of her information from movies, apparently.

01:25:25.900 What a dirtbag.

01:25:27.900 You're not helping.

01:25:30.260 And if you're not helping, you're hurting in this scenario.

01:25:34.260 Because it makes everybody else that's opposed to the things you're saying politically,

01:25:38.620 even if there's a nugget of truth in what you're saying, instantly run to the other direction.

01:25:45.340 All right.

01:25:45.920 I'm going to get a break in.

01:25:47.000 Then we'll pick some of your calls coming up.

01:25:48.640 Still have some other news stories to get to this morning.

01:25:50.980 It's Doc Thompson pinch hitting for Glenn Beck.

01:25:55.840 Glenn Beck.

01:26:00.960 Glenn Beck.

01:26:04.160 Okay.

01:26:04.600 We have new information on the shooter at the Mandalay Bay Hotel last night in Las Vegas.

01:26:10.220 In fact, we've now heard from his brother.

01:26:12.100 Is this the brother in Orlando, Florida?

01:26:13.720 Yes.

01:26:13.920 This is the brother in Orlando, Florida.

01:26:15.560 He came out and gave some words to Fox News.

01:26:18.640 All right.

01:26:18.880 We have a clip of this and then some new information as well.

01:26:21.400 Here it is.

01:26:21.880 He called his mother.

01:26:27.100 Ever any indication at all that this was nothing that we're we're lost.

01:26:40.060 I don't understand.

01:26:41.840 It makes there's no anything.

01:26:46.080 Interesting.

01:26:46.900 Eric Paddock.

01:26:47.760 Paddock.

01:26:48.320 Whatever you said.

01:26:48.900 Eric Paddock.

01:26:49.680 Yeah.

01:26:51.160 So, I mean, obviously, you're upset your sibling has died.

01:26:53.740 We often think of these shooters as being monsters.

01:26:56.440 So, your sibling.

01:26:57.540 And we've seen in the past where some siblings or relatives are like, okay, that guy was nuts,

01:27:01.520 crazy.

01:27:02.300 You know, I loved him.

01:27:04.000 But, you know, they're not as upset because obviously they're crazy.

01:27:07.320 He said no indicator here.

01:27:09.220 So, imagine your sibling that you think is normal all of a sudden involved in something like this.

01:27:13.080 He's in Orlando, Florida.

01:27:14.280 Yeah, his brother is he's not seeing him every day.

01:27:16.680 Exactly.

01:27:17.180 So, we don't know that.

01:27:18.380 So, this information came out that supposedly did his brother say this.

01:27:22.720 So, according to NBC national correspondent Peter Alexander, he says that Stephen Paddock's brother says their father was also a wanted criminal.

01:27:32.720 It was on the FBI's most wanted list for bank robbery.

01:27:36.500 He was a bank robber.

01:27:38.940 His father was?

01:27:39.440 I guess.

01:27:41.120 Okay.

01:27:41.540 That's really odd and interesting.

01:27:43.720 Let's go to some calls now.

01:27:44.780 Let's go to line 18.

01:27:45.900 Don in Minnesota.

01:27:46.860 Thanks for holding.

01:27:47.660 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:27:49.800 Yeah.

01:27:50.040 Good morning, Doc.

01:27:50.820 Thanks for taking my call.

01:27:51.880 Thank you for calling.

01:27:52.500 First of all, my prayers are with the people that were dead and their family and the loved ones and the people that are hurt in the hospitals.

01:28:00.720 Hopefully, they will get better quick.

01:28:04.420 Having said that, you know, I was there.

01:28:06.700 I'm frequently there in Las Vegas for conferences and stuff.

01:28:09.640 I was there a month ago.

01:28:11.520 Seems there are cameras everywhere.

01:28:13.240 But, you know, the security is very lax.

01:28:16.400 I'm trying to still try to figure out how did this guy get all that firepower into the hotel?

01:28:21.880 You know, that's my thing.

01:28:24.540 And the other, you know, in all of this, what we're missing in all of this is that we have forsaken our belief in a, you know, in a higher being as a society.

01:28:33.880 I was really impressed when Trump referenced God three times in his, you know.

01:28:39.500 Yeah.

01:28:40.120 In his comments.

01:28:41.120 I hope everybody is getting the message.

01:28:44.140 You know, as far as I read a lot, I know, I guess, you know, you guys, you know, a guy named Alexis de Tocqueville, right?

01:28:50.480 When he said the most fascinating thing about this country is freedom of religion.

01:28:54.020 And we are losing it.

01:28:55.520 We are losing it in our institutions.

01:28:57.340 There is no fear of a higher being.

01:28:59.280 And everybody says, I am it and nobody else.

01:29:01.960 And the last point I want to make is he is not a shooter.

01:29:05.800 He is a murderer.

01:29:06.800 Somebody that practices target shooting, you know, in a safe area is a shooter.

01:29:10.400 I don't know if you can call him a shooter.

01:29:12.280 Yep.

01:29:12.520 You know what, Don?

01:29:13.180 You're absolutely right.

01:29:14.220 Thank you, Don from Minnesota.

01:29:15.880 Appreciate you calling this morning.

01:29:17.000 You're right.

01:29:17.280 He's a murderer.

01:29:18.100 We say shooter.

01:29:18.980 We get these terms because they're easy.

01:29:21.580 Maybe it's a little laziness on our part.

01:29:23.580 But you're right.

01:29:24.000 The guy is a mass murderer at this point.

01:29:27.700 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:29:28.780 Maybe we have lost our perspective.

01:29:30.140 And I think we've certainly lost our humility when it comes to our higher power.

01:29:35.120 We'll discuss a little bit more of that.

01:29:36.540 Also, I have to touch on what happened in Puerto Rico.

01:29:38.340 You want to talk about being politicized?

01:29:40.700 Oh, my gosh.

01:29:41.560 Has that been politicized all weekend long?

01:29:43.580 We'll get to that and more of your calls.

01:29:44.940 888-727-BECK.

01:29:46.600 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

01:29:51.380 Glenn Beck.

01:29:58.220 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:29:59.900 Hey there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

01:30:04.120 Thanks so much for joining us.

01:30:05.660 If you want to join the program, 888-727-BECK.

01:30:08.220 I do have a couple more calls to get to on what happened in Las Vegas.

01:30:11.520 Let's go to North Carolina.

01:30:13.000 I think it's Phil.

01:30:13.760 How are you, sir?

01:30:15.980 Hey, good morning, guys.

01:30:17.120 Good morning, sir.

01:30:17.620 I have some possible insight into what type of weapon was used.

01:30:21.820 Okay.

01:30:22.660 It's the cadence of the weapon and the sounds of the round, the high-pitched sound of the

01:30:27.540 round.

01:30:27.760 It sounds like it's an M249 saw, which is a belt-fed weapon.

01:30:33.280 It fires approximately 600 to 900 rounds a minute, depending on what kind of gas gate setting you

01:30:38.000 have it on.

01:30:38.540 I was actually thinking the same thing, too, because if, I don't know if you ever fired

01:30:43.540 one, I did, did it really easily.

01:30:46.780 You know, that's the one that, you know, people saw the machine gun, but that's like the baby

01:30:49.500 version of it.

01:30:50.480 Okay.

01:30:51.040 And the barrel, you know, I was thinking also, all the rounds going by it, the barrel can

01:30:56.480 get hot, but it won't get as hot as a, you know, 240 Bravo, you know, and you could

01:31:00.880 change it up pretty quickly.

01:31:02.420 And it's actually easily handleable for a one-man, actually, if he has to switch barrels, he

01:31:08.500 can do that, but for that little weapon, you know, it's not little, but compared to the

01:31:12.600 240 Bravo, you know, you can actually switch back and forth and actually have the capability

01:31:16.840 to fire that many rounds without stopping.

01:31:20.560 That's absolutely right.

01:31:21.560 And that lull, some of the audio, some of the witnesses have explained, the lull and fire

01:31:26.800 of about approximately 30 to 45 seconds, that's about the amount of time someone who's fairly

01:31:32.340 proficient with a weapon, that's about the amount of time it's going to take to change that

01:31:34.960 barrel and slap in a new, you know, a new belt-fed.

01:31:38.500 A new belt.

01:31:39.620 Interesting.

01:31:40.340 So, it sounds, it sounds a lot like a 249 saw, fairly lightweight, easy to carry.

01:31:48.740 All right, Phil, thank you so much for the call.

01:31:50.480 Really appreciate it.

01:31:51.780 And how many weapons did he have?

01:31:53.900 He had eight long guns?

01:31:55.060 No, according to reports that are coming out, he had 10 long rifles on his bed.

01:32:00.180 Okay, so if he had some sort of, is that belt-fed is what he's talking about?

01:32:03.360 It really sounded like it was going to be the rounds.

01:32:05.620 Okay, it always, I mean, what do you, what do you think you're going to do with all those

01:32:09.640 other weapons?

01:32:10.120 Well, that's one thing, too, is when you, I mean, I guess crazy is crazy.

01:32:12.640 When you're operating those kind of, especially the 249 that he said, you know, that's very

01:32:16.460 easily, it has a little compartment on top.

01:32:18.600 You open, you close it back up, and it has a little carrier for you around.

01:32:21.720 And again, it's really easily to use if you know how to use it.

01:32:27.980 And changing the barrel, for example, if you're having a 240 Bravo, which one is the one that

01:32:32.380 I use in the military, to change the barrel, that's kind of like a two-man job.

01:32:35.840 You have to unlock it, take it out.

01:32:38.120 This way, one person could do it.

01:32:39.480 The 249 is a one-person, it's just one-handed.

01:32:41.880 Let's go to Tennessee now, line 18.

01:32:43.960 We've got Julie.

01:32:44.680 How are you?

01:32:45.660 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, Julie.

01:32:47.720 Yeah, hi, guys.

01:32:49.600 First of all, well, of course, you don't expect to wake up to this tragic news, so all of

01:32:53.740 my thoughts and prayers are sent to everyone in Las Vegas that, you know, that were shot

01:33:02.040 and that are suffering, family and everything.

01:33:06.000 And the whole politics that are coming into it make me sick.

01:33:10.000 My husband and I are lifetime members of the NRA, so, you know, we're used to taking these

01:33:16.280 sort of hits.

01:33:18.440 And it's just, it's getting out of hand with that.

01:33:21.100 It's always some excuse, you know, some reason to vilify those of us who are pro-Second

01:33:28.020 Amendment and that sort of thing.

01:33:31.220 And it could have been any, it could have been a car, you know, and that doesn't make

01:33:36.520 it any easier, you know.

01:33:38.660 It was just a matter in which he did this horrible deed.

01:33:41.120 Uh, so, that being said, I, I, I just, I just feel really sick to my stomach about it

01:33:48.720 right now.

01:33:49.720 Well, and the-

01:33:50.220 You guys are so funny, and today I'm not feeling funny.

01:33:53.580 Yeah, and I, I, I understand that's, we usually lead with humor, but this is one of those,

01:33:57.500 it's, it's kind of difficult to.

01:33:59.160 Um, Julie, how do you feel as a Second Amendment supporter, like you said, and you know this

01:34:04.100 stuff gets politicized.

01:34:05.220 How likely are you, when you know this is being politicized, to, to be willing to sit

01:34:10.500 down and have a reasonable conversation about things like mental illness?

01:34:13.940 Because I am not, and that's part of the tragedy when people, uh, politicize something, certainly

01:34:19.440 so quickly, is that you automatically go to your corner and come out and you start fighting

01:34:24.640 that political battle.

01:34:27.560 Well, they, you mean, uh, when people start saying, well, if someone-

01:34:32.360 Right.

01:34:32.560 We need to get in, go after mental illness.

01:34:34.700 Yeah.

01:34:35.220 Um, well that, you know, see, I, I believe when they start saying that, that becomes

01:34:39.520 an arbitrary, uh, uh, situation because one man's crazy is another man's sane.

01:34:46.540 Well, right.

01:34:47.040 And, but you see what I'm saying though, about having a conversation about it.

01:34:50.200 It's like we, we all, it doesn't matter if you're conservative, libertarian, uh, liberal,

01:34:55.300 you, you automatically put your guard up and you're not willing to discuss things, even

01:34:59.620 reasonable things.

01:35:00.700 Right.

01:35:01.100 Once you know that you're in that arena.

01:35:03.160 Exactly.

01:35:05.260 And when you do, I'm going to tell you, you know, we don't identify with the conservative.

01:35:11.200 We're more libertarian like you are.

01:35:12.720 And when we try to talk to people, um, who tend to be on the other side of, of libertarian

01:35:18.900 to the left, right now we've got a friend from church and she's an older lady and right,

01:35:23.820 she's right now ranting and raving.

01:35:25.840 It's Trump's fault.

01:35:26.540 I mean, that's, that's insane, you know, you know, and, and so we deal with these things

01:35:33.720 every day and, and, you know, you, you almost have to pick, it's like you have to pick and

01:35:39.020 choose your subject matter.

01:35:40.620 It's, we walk on eggshells around so many people and we, we're also hunters and, you know, people

01:35:48.120 are going, Oh my God, you, you're hunters, you know, but then they complain because they

01:35:52.180 hit their deer, hit their cars, you know, well, if there weren't hunters, there'd be more

01:35:57.060 deer.

01:35:57.400 And, uh, you know, it's just a never ending battle to, to explain to them that we're,

01:36:04.160 we're also conservationists because we hunt and it's just, it gets to the point where it's

01:36:09.360 insane.

01:36:09.880 And, and this man was obviously there's, it wasn't about, it's not to explain.

01:36:15.520 It's not about the gun.

01:36:16.420 It's about his actions.

01:36:18.120 Julie, thank you so much for the comments this morning.

01:36:20.300 Yeah.

01:36:21.100 Thank you.

01:36:21.540 I have one more thing.

01:36:22.400 This is for, for Chris.

01:36:24.460 I was trying to pass this along.

01:36:26.780 Hi, Chris.

01:36:27.800 Um, I sent something on Doc's Facebook fan page.

01:36:32.480 It's a police audio link and it's on his page in a message from, uh, is it about the

01:36:39.060 Puerto Rican police officer that called in?

01:36:41.040 Yeah.

01:36:41.240 We, yeah, we were going to, we're probably going to talk about that tomorrow.

01:36:43.400 We'll cover it on our show.

01:36:44.300 Yeah.

01:36:44.920 Yeah.

01:36:45.280 Did you get that message from me?

01:36:47.020 Yes, ma'am.

01:36:48.080 Okay.

01:36:48.420 Thank you.

01:36:48.920 Cause I don't speak Spanish.

01:36:51.040 So I just like, it's okay.

01:36:53.320 Chris doesn't speak English.

01:36:54.360 So, Heyo, it works great.

01:36:55.840 Good, good, good.

01:36:56.540 Good, good.

01:36:56.840 Good, good.

01:36:57.140 Good, good.

01:36:57.440 Good.

01:36:57.800 Okay.

01:36:58.360 Yeah.

01:36:58.560 So I just, yeah, I just wanted to, um, have you, you know, we'll check it out, Julie.

01:37:05.100 We'll check it out and we'll get to it tomorrow morning on the, uh, the blaze.com, the blaze,

01:37:08.820 radio.com, the morning blaze.

01:37:10.160 Thanks so much for the call.

01:37:10.920 Appreciate it.

01:37:11.540 I do have to share one bit of breaking news from this, uh, this tragic story out of Las

01:37:15.880 Vegas.

01:37:16.520 The death toll now, uh, is at least 58 and the number injured, we're seeing 500 injured.

01:37:25.760 Yeah.

01:37:26.880 500.

01:37:27.500 Think about that.

01:37:28.800 And then yes, 500 injured.

01:37:30.480 That could be from a sprained, a sprained ankle.

01:37:33.220 You're going to get some of that.

01:37:34.460 No, to, you could get, yeah.

01:37:35.840 So I guarantee half of those are not just sprained ankles and even a 10% being life threatening

01:37:40.940 industry injuries.

01:37:41.940 That's 50, 40,000 people were at, were at attending this event.

01:37:45.760 And another 5,000 or a couple thousand walking the streets down there in and out of the hotels.

01:37:51.760 So when I started hearing the numbers and, you know, the sheriff's department just came

01:37:55.220 out and gave these new numbers, you know, I'm like, there has to be more numbers.

01:37:59.380 I'm not saying that I'm not wishing upon that, but there's the, you just know it's going to

01:38:03.580 be low.

01:38:03.780 Then the type of weapon that was used from, from what we heard the sound, you know, the,

01:38:08.840 all those people compacted there in one area, you know, there's going to be more.

01:38:13.640 And then those injuries are those life threatening injuries that are going to turn into death.

01:38:19.220 We don't know that.

01:38:20.500 Well, like I said, even if, uh, even if it's only 10% of that 500 injured is a critical or

01:38:26.380 serious condition, that's another 50.

01:38:29.320 And this, this number 58 of 58 dead that we're getting now may have been only 50 truly an hour

01:38:38.340 ago.

01:38:38.940 And then it could be eight people who have just died.

01:38:41.020 It seems unlikely that they would have miscounted this far along.

01:38:45.040 It seems more likely that a couple of succumbed to those injuries.

01:38:48.340 Um, since Julie brought up Puerto Rico, we do have to touch on that.

01:38:51.460 That's probably one of the other top stories over the weekend that, um, was being covered

01:38:57.080 and should have been covered.

01:38:58.700 This ridiculous feud between the mayor of San Juan and president Trump is just that ridiculous.

01:39:05.520 And I'm putting most of this at the feet of the mayor of San Juan, and that is not politicizing

01:39:11.620 it.

01:39:11.880 It's just true.

01:39:13.940 If you look at the, um, the way the federal government has handled Puerto Rico, remember

01:39:22.720 Puerto Rico is a U S territory and all Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

01:39:27.960 If they moved to the mainland, they can even run for president.

01:39:31.760 They can be a Senator.

01:39:33.020 They can do whatever they are Americans.

01:39:35.460 So it is the, within the scope of the federal government to take care of, you know, uh, emergency

01:39:40.760 aides and FEMA, these types of things.

01:39:42.740 They are American citizens.

01:39:44.400 What the president did was proper, was reasonable, was successful, right?

01:39:53.200 I mean, he did what a president, what did he do opened up emergency aid, sent FEMA, he

01:39:59.460 sent the military down to help a national guard and even, uh, the one, uh, Navy, uh, trauma

01:40:07.280 ship.

01:40:07.640 Oh yeah.

01:40:08.540 The largest mobile trauma, uh, vehicle in the world.

01:40:13.280 And he sent that he did it all in a timely fashion.

01:40:17.700 One of the things that bothers me of this entire thing is the mayor of.

01:40:22.020 Well, let me, let me ask you this though.

01:40:23.260 And Chris, his family is in Puerto Rico.

01:40:25.100 He grew up in Puerto Rico, moved to Florida when he was a young man.

01:40:28.020 That when you move, when you move, I moved to the United States in right after nine 11.

01:40:31.500 Okay.

01:40:31.920 Yeah.

01:40:32.420 So you were a kid when you moved, you moved to, uh, Florida based on what you've seen

01:40:37.740 and you follow this pretty close to this weekend because of your family.

01:40:40.960 Is there anything, is there any significant gap or failure, significant failure coming from

01:40:46.880 the white house on this?

01:40:47.900 And again, this is coming from somebody who did not vote for Donald Trump.

01:40:50.840 I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton, um, either.

01:40:53.460 I just vote on track record, like some of what Trump's done, not, so I'm not in the tank

01:40:57.900 for him and neither is Chris.

01:40:59.740 Same, basically same scenario.

01:41:01.120 Same scenario.

01:41:01.560 Yep.

01:41:01.660 Okay.

01:41:02.280 Any significant, obvious outright failure?

01:41:05.240 No, I honestly haven't seen anything that a non Trump president could and can do to

01:41:12.860 the Island of Puerto Rico.

01:41:13.820 Did he do anything significantly more or less than he did for Florida or Texas?

01:41:19.700 No, I don't see it.

01:41:21.120 I don't see it.

01:41:21.740 Everything got activated.

01:41:22.940 You know, one of the things was that act, the Jones act, uh, he actually maybe did a

01:41:27.180 little bit more because they had to act the Jonah.

01:41:29.240 A lot of people say, Oh, he needs to lift that.

01:41:30.920 Well, here's the thing.

01:41:31.560 He cannot lift the Jones act until the governor of Puerto Rico says we need the Jones act

01:41:37.160 to be lifted.

01:41:38.020 Then Trump takes it and it's only temporary.

01:41:40.520 I think he said like for like 10 days.

01:41:42.040 So that's one of the things.

01:41:42.920 And by the way, I did not know we had a Jones act.

01:41:45.040 We had to research it right before, you know, Friday when this whole thing started blowing

01:41:48.780 up.

01:41:49.300 So one of the things that I seen is so far, I've not, I seen the same reaction, but you

01:41:54.740 also had to think about it too, is Puerto Rico is an Island and people that are not aware

01:41:58.400 of Puerto Rico where I lived, I call it, you know, the hillbillies of Puerto Rico, because

01:42:03.500 in order for me to go to civilization, like let's say to the city of Dallas, there's one

01:42:07.680 bridge from my house to the city of Dallas.

01:42:10.200 If you want to put it in perspective like that, that one bridge that connects, uh, where

01:42:14.580 I'm from, Kubui to the closest city is gone.

01:42:19.020 And that happened around the other towns in Puerto Rico.

01:42:21.620 So people are saying, Oh, they're not getting aid.

01:42:23.640 No, that's not the issue.

01:42:24.740 The issue is the rivers are so overflowing.

01:42:28.440 What are they going to do?

01:42:29.380 Are they going to harm themselves?

01:42:29.860 How are they getting this stuff there?

01:42:31.280 The logistics are a nightmare.

01:42:32.800 Exactly.

01:42:33.260 And then are they, are they going to hurt themselves just to get aid?

01:42:36.560 No, they, they're waiting, assessing the situation.

01:42:39.100 One of the things about this idiot from San Juan, the mayor is that she's out there with

01:42:45.220 a shirt that says, help us.

01:42:47.500 We are dying.

01:42:48.180 And a cap that says SOS.

01:42:50.480 Now doc, um, my Island has no power, has no communication, no internet, no, no, no thing.

01:42:58.340 How the hell did she get a shirt that says, help us?

01:43:01.500 We're dying.

01:43:02.480 She probably has an old, uh, t-shirt, uh, printing device.

01:43:07.220 Oh yeah.

01:43:07.560 Hand crank.

01:43:08.260 Yeah.

01:43:08.500 You know, cause I have many boxes that contain that.

01:43:11.120 It probably dates back to the 1700s.

01:43:13.160 The hand cranked t-shirt and hat logo embroidering device.

01:43:18.660 And then come to find out, you know, she's Democrat, uh, mayor.

01:43:21.600 She's went to university of Boston, I think, or Boston, uh, uh, university.

01:43:27.420 Um, she, I mean, she's a leftist.

01:43:29.200 This is who she is.

01:43:30.200 Now there have been some failures from her administration.

01:43:34.200 Absolutely.

01:43:34.640 So here we are once again, just like Hillary and so many other people, Piers Morgan, making

01:43:40.340 this Las Vegas tragedy political, that's what she's doing here.

01:43:44.060 And why is she doing it to promote her party and to further her own career?

01:43:49.580 She's hoping to be the darling of people on the left and the Democrats because she stood

01:43:55.440 up to that Trump, uh, that evil Trump.

01:43:57.820 And because she dislikes Trump in general, anyway, take a break back with more on this,

01:44:02.880 the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:04.640 Glenn Beck.

01:44:17.000 Glenn Beck.

01:44:19.620 All right.

01:44:20.540 Uh, the FBI is now saying the Las Vegas shooter, Steven Paddock, the murderer of now 58 people,

01:44:27.480 the guy who's injured another 500.

01:44:29.920 Those are the official numbers, 58 and 500.

01:44:32.040 I think it might be 515 even.

01:44:33.860 Yeah.

01:44:34.000 Yeah.

01:44:34.460 I saw those numbers go up.

01:44:35.840 Yeah.

01:44:36.200 Um, has no connection to international terrorism.

01:44:39.560 Nope.

01:44:39.980 That's, that's their official word so far.

01:44:42.360 So, um, that's good.

01:44:43.980 Yeah.

01:44:44.180 I guess it would have been more interesting.

01:44:45.600 Hey, hold on.

01:44:46.320 We have a Lady Gaga tweeting now.

01:44:47.680 Oh no.

01:44:48.200 What are you doing?

01:44:48.680 Don't do this.

01:44:49.440 No, no, this is good.

01:44:50.160 I promise.

01:44:50.540 This is good.

01:44:50.820 This is, she says, okay, this is terrorism, plain and simple.

01:44:54.600 Okay.

01:44:54.840 Terror bears no race, gender or religion.

01:44:57.720 Okay, good.

01:44:58.860 All right.

01:44:59.440 Democrats and Republican, please unite now on gun control.

01:45:03.180 Okay.

01:45:03.360 So you son of a, what did you, come on.

01:45:06.400 Come on, dog.

01:45:07.360 She says we must unite.

01:45:09.380 You know, I was with her, I hear Lady Gaga, okay, it's going to be nutty because she's

01:45:12.720 a performer and it's going to be leftist.

01:45:14.460 And I was like, okay, but you're right.

01:45:16.360 Unite, terrorism doesn't know that.

01:45:18.860 It usually has some sort of political ideology to it, but you're right.

01:45:22.700 You know, anybody can and they target all kinds.

01:45:24.660 You're right.

01:45:25.180 They just, and then you have to do that.

01:45:27.620 She has to close it with, we must unite against gun control.

01:45:30.620 So we'll have more on this, uh, tomorrow morning on, uh, the morning blaze.
