Welcome to the podcast, Stu, along with Mr. Glenn Beck.
00:00:12.580
You know, we should probably plan something for our tour.
00:00:21.840
We have some stuff planned, but we probably need to finish that thing up.
00:00:25.580
Yeah, the people who are touring with us, you know, the tour company, if you will,
00:00:29.080
they've never done it before, and so they're freaking out, and they're like,
00:00:32.900
Glenn, you've got to, we don't know what you're even going to say,
00:00:42.620
We should probably have some idea what we're doing.
00:00:47.060
Well, we do have some idea, and that involves a lot of poking fun at the left.
00:00:56.640
It's happening in the next few weeks, so go to glennbeck.com slash tour, get your tickets.
00:01:02.660
Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, I think Indiana maybe, and Florida is left still, so there's

00:01:19.840
We talked with the, started the show talking about pipe bombs, because that's the big story.
00:01:25.660
Obviously, all these bombs all over the place, none of them actually doing the things that
00:01:30.100
bombs are supposed to do, but they did look like bombs, for sure.
00:01:36.680
I've dubbed this pipe bomber, Wile E. Coyote, and we explain right at the top.
00:01:46.000
She's getting a lot of heat now over comments she made about Halloween costumes, and they
00:01:52.680
are now going to push her out of NBC, it looks like.
00:01:54.920
The amazing hypocrisy from the media and the left and NBC over the story.
00:02:08.520
That she was the most outspoken on the sexual harassment cases at NBC that they wanted to
00:02:16.880
They were just waiting for a way to butcher Megyn Kelly.
00:02:22.840
We have Senator Mike Leon to talk about the latest on that as well.
00:02:28.640
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:44.160
Brick House Nutrition, they do a great job because they do two things for you.
00:02:48.420
One, they get you the vegetables you're supposed to have.
00:02:52.140
Mommy told you to eat your vegetables, you never do it.
00:02:56.300
You just put a scoop into like a smoothie or, you know, whatever you're eating or drinking.
00:03:14.120
And then they also have Dawn to Dusk, which is great if you are the type of person who goes
00:03:17.840
through long meetings with someone like Glenn Beck in the middle of the day and have
00:03:21.720
Believe me, I'm the one who falls asleep with meetings with you.
00:03:37.460
Again, use the promo code Glenn to get 15% off.
00:03:50.120
Nine suspicious packages and eight, eight extremely ridiculous looking improvised explosive devices
00:04:09.080
The Clintons, the Obamas, Eric Holder, John Brennan, care of CNN, Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
00:04:16.520
George Soros, Maxine Waters, and Robert De Niro.
00:04:20.380
All recipients of these extremely ridiculous IEDs.
00:04:33.000
To get an accurate comparison, you'd have to watch a Warner Brothers Saturday morning cartoon
00:04:43.340
I'm shocked that they don't say Acme Bomb on it.
00:04:54.520
The reason steel is used, because the entire purpose of the bomb is to utilize the steel
00:05:07.200
When it blows up, the pipe breaks up, and you have shards that tear people apart.
00:05:13.000
Well, the attacker who the press is saying has a real level of sophistication.
00:05:28.640
This attacker who I'm giving the codename Wile E. Coyote has made his bomb out of plastic PVC pipe.
00:05:39.100
So, when it blows up, it vaporizes the plastic.
00:05:50.600
Also, the devices had protruding wires coming out of the PVC pipe with a big, ridiculous-looking digital timer taped to it.
00:06:11.180
All of the wires in the detonator usually concealed inside the pipe.
00:06:21.200
Probably is not going to make it to whoever it is you're sending, unless you're sending it to their home.
00:06:26.840
But if you have a long pipe-like thing, and it shows wires, and in the x-ray you can see that there's a timer on the outside, it's definitely not going anywhere.
00:06:41.180
This is Wile E. Coyote leaving eight overly large sticks of dynamite with a big alarm clock lashed to it with the words ACME BOMB stamped on the outside.
00:06:55.740
But where our bomber really messed up is he didn't leave a big plate of birdseed next to the envelope.
00:07:15.120
I didn't even mention the fact that a parody ISIS flag was taped to the device, which is...
00:07:37.980
And you took the time to print a meme that has the ISIS flag, and underneath it, it's a quote from Larry the Cable Guy that says,
00:07:59.280
They've had zero chance of making it through security screening.
00:08:04.540
And Wile E. Coyote, I think, must have known that.
00:08:19.120
Do you think Hillary Clinton actually personally checks her mailbox every time?
00:08:23.600
You know, to see if her Amazon Prime order came in?
00:08:28.800
Every person that has been sent one of these packages has mail screening.
00:08:33.120
These devices were not designed to kill, but to be detected, caught, and seen.
00:08:43.500
Wile E. Coyote wanted a media circus, and boy, did he get one.
00:08:49.220
Now, I am not going to speculate whether Wile E. really is from the right or from the left.
00:08:57.960
There's a lot of nutjobs out that are looking to change narratives before the midterms.
00:09:06.340
This could be a kid that just thought this would be funny.
00:09:11.140
Again, there's no chance these bombs would go off.
00:09:18.180
Maybe it's a guy who's so screwed up, he just doesn't even know what he's doing.
00:09:24.380
There's also the possibility someone knew exactly what they were doing
00:09:28.400
and wanted to send a message one way or the other.
00:09:33.080
This, however, is not stopping the left from jumping on this.
00:09:41.880
By noon yesterday, we hadn't even found all the bombs.
00:09:45.480
By noon yesterday, Paul Waldman of the Washington Post already had an article out
00:09:54.080
Given what Trump has done and said, this was absolutely predictable.
00:10:02.740
It's not just that Trump advocates violence against his political opponents,
00:10:09.460
It's everything about his rhetoric that pushes his supporters in that direction.
00:10:17.020
This coming from the same guy that if it is ever found out that it is a left-wing guy
00:10:22.940
or just a crazy person, they will never report that.
00:10:29.900
Could I ask when the president has actually called for violence?
00:10:35.880
Now, you could say in some of his campaign rallies where he's like,
00:10:44.700
Calling the media fake news is not calling for violence.
00:10:50.840
I don't like it, but that's not calling for violence.
00:10:55.940
Encouraging your electorate to harass people in their homes, their restaurants,
00:11:06.140
Isn't that the equivalent of calling for violence?
00:11:14.200
But we all know the left's narrative, and you heard it again yesterday,
00:11:18.640
and it will continue until the midterms is over.
00:11:24.160
Many of our friends in the left-leaning mainstream media were just utterly shocked that this kind of attack occurred.
00:11:40.600
One person remarked how they'd never seen anything like this directed at just one side of the spectrum.
00:11:49.440
First of all, that would force one to deny that the latest pipe bomb was sent to Mike Pence.
00:11:58.280
But I don't know how hard it is for you to go back so deep in your memory bank.
00:12:12.160
You might need a hypnotist or therapist to bring this memory back.
00:12:22.600
The Rice and Letters just sent to the White House.
00:12:26.080
James Mattis, FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson,
00:12:33.880
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson.
00:12:36.400
Did you just happen to forget about all of those, or should I take you back to the baseball diamond, which was way back?
00:12:59.480
for those of you in the mainstream media, it's really best not to speculate.
00:13:04.120
If you don't know, you should say you don't know.
00:13:28.380
I think this is a left-wing person trying to ramp everybody up.
