The Glenn Beck Program - 11⧸27⧸17 - ＂So Much Wasted Time＂

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

00:00:08.740 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.000 We live in an age of technological disruption. It is everywhere.

00:00:18.000 Transportation, space flight, the way we make things, retail.

00:00:24.020 I mean, how many of us went shopping online instead of going in and, you know,

00:00:28.160 knifing it out in the aisles of Walmart?

00:00:31.540 Everything is about to change.

00:00:34.600 Some of the changes are happening where you least expect it,

00:00:37.200 even the way we spend money, save money, or invest.

00:00:41.560 Money and currency is going through its own technological revolution,

00:00:45.880 and digital currency is the wave of the future.

00:00:50.600 Bitcoin surged past 9,000 yesterday morning.

00:00:54.820 As of right now, it is at 9,750, 9,661.

00:01:03.980 Moving towards $10,000 per coin.

00:01:08.880 Now, this is moving faster than analysts and algorithms can keep track of it.

00:01:13.540 It took seven days for this digital currency to go from 8,000 to 9,000,

00:01:19.000 and the weekend to go from 9,000 to 9,600.

00:01:24.680 Coinbase, the largest Bitcoin exchange in the U.S.,

00:01:28.220 added 100,000 accounts just last week.

00:01:32.560 All of these stats are unprecedented, and they're all from the last seven days.

00:01:38.520 In January, Bitcoin was at about $1,000 per coin.

00:01:42.260 It went on to hit eight different 1,000-point milestones this year alone.

00:01:48.220 We're looking now at a 900% increase.

00:01:53.140 And these stats are just for Bitcoin.

00:01:55.860 All digital currencies are now at all-time highs.

00:01:58.960 Ethereum, Litecoin, they're all climbing.

00:02:02.360 I'm not telling you how to invest your money.

00:02:04.340 In fact, there's a good shot.

00:02:06.860 This is a tulip scare where the Dutch were trading in tulips 1.00

00:02:13.320 because tulips will always be worth more than a house.

00:02:17.280 Yeah.

00:02:18.720 It could go to zero overnight, literally.

00:02:22.580 But the technology behind digital currencies is changing the way banking is done all over the world.

00:02:29.300 Blockchain.

00:02:29.860 This is technology that is opening up possibilities that were just unavailable literally just a few months ago.

00:02:37.380 People with absolutely no access to a bank can now invest, trade, and spend their money.

00:02:44.740 And they can do it from the comfort of their own personal handheld device.

00:02:49.300 You don't like banks?

00:02:50.540 You don't like bankers?

00:02:52.200 Blockchain and digital currency enables you to be your own bank.

00:02:57.500 Whether you live in Manhattan or a village in Liberia, this truly changes the world. 1.00

00:03:05.860 This is all brand new technology.

00:03:08.660 And like everything new and startup, it comes with risk.

00:03:12.620 Don't, don't invest anything in this that you're not willing to lose.

00:03:18.500 Treat it like you're going to Vegas.

00:03:20.020 Because this could take a serious nosedive to zero at any given moment.

00:03:26.800 But change is occurring.

00:03:29.500 Disruption is happening whether we like it or not.

00:03:33.100 Transportation.

00:03:34.660 Going to space is now privatized with SpaceX.

00:03:38.940 The way we make things.

00:03:41.060 The way we sell things.

00:03:42.400 And now currency, the way we save and the way we spend.

00:03:48.860 The time to prepare for constant change is right now.

00:03:53.620 It's Monday, November 27th.

00:04:05.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:07.700 So I would love to hear from anybody who took our advice on Bitcoin and has made money.

00:04:17.680 We have several people here on the floor, our studio crew, that have made some serious cash.

00:04:25.520 How much have you made?

00:04:27.900 What did you put in?

00:04:29.300 Put in $200.

00:04:30.200 Put in $200?

00:04:31.420 And it's up to like $420 now.

00:04:36.720 Double the money in two weeks.

00:04:38.100 Double the money in two weeks.

00:04:39.620 It's funny because our investment advice really just comes down to they've been so sick of hearing us talking about it for so long.

00:04:45.680 I know.

00:04:46.000 Like they just shut up about it.

00:04:47.760 I bought it.

00:04:48.420 That was basically what it was.

00:04:50.100 And who knows?

00:04:50.580 I mean, again, as you pointed out, who knows if it goes to zero tomorrow.

00:04:53.620 But it's been an amazing ride.

00:04:55.140 Yeah, it has been.

00:04:55.680 I mean, the $10,000 was incomprehensible when we started this year.

00:05:00.040 Incomprehensible.

00:05:00.700 This time, it's different.

00:05:03.280 No, it's never different.

00:05:04.740 It's never different.

00:05:05.820 I just keep thinking this could fall apart at any moment and probably will.

00:05:12.820 It's very possible.

00:05:13.820 But, I mean, it's one of those things that we were, you know, kind of in this audience was in the middle of.

00:05:19.880 One of those, hey, I wish I bought Apple when it was a dollar.

00:05:24.020 Hey, I wish I bought Amazon when it was a dollar.

00:05:26.040 Like, all of these things basically have happened over the past three years if you're a listener to this show.

00:05:32.120 You were part of it.

00:05:33.560 And now, whether you actually pulled the trigger or not back in the day, I mean, when the first time I think we started talking about Bitcoin, it was something like 500.

00:05:40.700 And then it went down to 200 for like six months.

00:05:45.300 Yeah.

00:05:45.540 It was just available when, I mean, I think we've talked about this one before, when Donald Trump came down the escalator.

00:05:50.940 So, this doesn't feel like that long ago.

00:05:53.560 I mean, the beginning of it.

00:05:55.320 In some ways, it feels like a lifetime.

00:05:56.680 But when Trump announced his campaign and made that speech with the rapists coming across the, you know, I assume some of them are good people, that whole thing.

00:06:05.620 Bitcoin was like, I don't know, $500?

00:06:09.200 $600?

00:06:10.620 I mean, and now it's 10,000.

00:06:13.760 I mean, people, there are a lot of people who, and we've told you some of the stories of people who threw a few dollars into it because they thought it was interesting technology several years ago.

00:06:24.460 And I remember, I think I bought some of those Bitcoins and now are worth multiple millions of dollars.

00:06:31.140 There's one kid that literally just, you know, he just invested.

00:06:35.700 He bought a bunch because he thought they were cool when they were like 30 cents.

00:06:39.280 Ah, it's cool.

00:06:40.840 And forgot about them.

00:06:42.500 He's now a multimillionaire.

00:06:45.640 He was like, wait a minute.

00:06:47.260 I think I have some of those.

00:06:48.920 Yeah.

00:06:49.720 So, it's been a crazy ride.

00:06:51.880 And who knows what's going to happen with it.

00:06:54.300 But it's interesting to kind of go through that as a show, right, as an audience.

00:06:58.460 I mean, we were.

00:06:59.120 Yeah, I'd love to hear if you invested in Bitcoin, I'd love to hear at what point you pulled the trigger and how much you've made.

00:07:10.060 Because so many people, and I remember Pat saying this many, many times on the air, as soon as I get into it, it's going to go to zero.

00:07:16.940 And I told him, please don't invest in it, because when you invest in it, it will go to zero.

00:07:22.740 But even if he had invested after delaying for six months, he would have quadrupled his money.

00:07:29.140 But see, that's the thing.

00:07:31.300 We're not.

00:07:31.900 I don't think we're at that point yet.

00:07:34.400 I mean, when Pat does invest, it will go to zero because Pat is your typical American investor.

00:07:41.020 When everything is way, way super hot, overdone, everybody is, everybody is talking about it.

00:07:49.700 That's right before a crash.

00:07:52.300 You know what I mean?

00:07:53.220 Yeah, it usually does seem that way.

00:07:55.200 I mean, I think this is going to go to 10,000.

00:07:57.200 It's going to crash to about eight.

00:07:59.900 And then it'll probably go back up again because it's really super hot right now.

00:08:04.820 But, I mean, this thing could go to zero, zero.

00:08:10.200 And this is why gambling is fun.

00:08:13.720 Because when you win, it feels fantastic. 1.00

00:08:16.860 And then when you lose, you feel like such an idiot. 1.00

00:08:20.160 Such a dope. 0.99

00:08:21.020 And this, we will give you the full spectrum of this tragic tale probably by, like, next week when it goes to zero.

00:08:30.200 And we're like, wow, you know, we actually had some money in that, and it was doing pretty well.

00:08:34.700 I bought it at 1,100.

00:08:36.420 I took my own advice.

00:08:38.480 I started giving the advice at 200.

00:08:41.300 I started taking my own advice at 1,100.

00:08:44.660 It's now almost 10,000.

00:08:46.700 And I'm thinking to myself, get out.

00:08:49.480 Get out.

00:08:50.740 What are you doing?

00:08:51.600 You're also thinking, why didn't you take your own advice when it was 200?

00:08:55.880 That probably would have been an advisable thing.

00:08:58.200 We have Gary.

00:08:59.160 Take Gary in Virginia.

00:09:00.380 He invested $300 in early November.

00:09:04.160 Oh, that's it.

00:09:04.640 Yeah.

00:09:04.980 Really.

00:09:05.580 Gary.

00:09:06.760 Yeah.

00:09:07.140 How much are you $300 worth today?

00:09:10.500 It's at least $400.

00:09:11.940 I mean, yeah, $400 now.

00:09:13.980 It was $7,118 when I purchased it.

00:09:18.700 And now it's almost 10.

00:09:19.760 So you're up 40%.

00:09:21.600 Yeah.

00:09:23.080 Exactly.

00:09:24.040 Yeah.

00:09:24.260 That's nice.

00:09:25.260 That's nice.

00:09:26.820 And you put...

00:09:27.480 You guys talk in the weekend before I went up to MGM in Maryland and dropped 1,000.

00:09:34.320 So I figured, why not try it?

00:09:37.540 Which one's paid off for you?

00:09:42.640 Oh, my God.

00:09:43.580 And I say it on gas, too.

00:09:45.480 So now, Gary, are you going to leave it in or are you going to take it out?

00:09:48.840 Oh, no.

00:09:49.240 I'm going to leave it there.

00:09:51.220 Yeah.

00:09:51.600 I'm going to...

00:09:52.000 I think I'm going to buy some more.

00:09:53.240 It's just...

00:09:53.520 It's fun.

00:09:54.240 I've been talking with my friends about it.

00:09:57.060 And they're like, what is this?

00:09:58.580 What are you talking about?

00:10:00.400 I think, too, that this audience has heard us blabber about this for so long that it seems,

00:10:06.500 I think, if you listen to this show every day, like, everyone, you know, knows what

00:10:10.020 it is.

00:10:10.600 For example, like, I think today on TV, you're going to do a little bit of an explainer again.

00:10:14.780 Just a basic, yeah, not even going to get into blockchain, just the basic, what is it?

00:10:19.720 Yeah.

00:10:19.940 What is it?

00:10:20.520 How does it work?

00:10:21.860 Why is it taking off?

00:10:23.480 And what it could be, both the good and the bad.

00:10:27.320 I mean, if it just had the same, if it had the same kind of year that it has had in 2018

00:10:35.340 as it did in 2017, it will be worth $100,000 at this time next year.

00:10:42.420 And that's insanity.

00:10:44.560 But at, at what, what was it at the beginning of the year?

00:10:48.360 A thousand?

00:10:48.960 Yeah, basically a thousand, yeah.

00:10:50.240 A thousand dollars.

00:10:51.160 If we would have said it'll be worth $10,000 at the end of this year, everybody would have

00:10:55.300 said that's crazy.

00:10:57.300 And they would have probably been right in every circumstance except this one.

00:11:00.860 Yes, except this one.

00:11:01.880 And so you're kind of like, well, I know we're already in crazy territory, so I just don't

00:11:07.320 know when the crazy ends.

00:11:10.120 Colin in California.

00:11:11.460 Hello, Colin.

00:11:12.000 Hey, how's it going, guys?

00:11:14.160 Good.

00:11:15.280 Yeah, I was kicking myself because, you know, I knew about it when it was like a hundred

00:11:19.720 bucks.

00:11:20.220 Yeah, I know.

00:11:20.660 So I didn't do my homework.

00:11:21.440 And then when it jumped from $1,000 to $2,000, I said, okay, I have to do it.

00:11:26.960 I did my homework, found out if I did in 2010 put $1,000 in, I'd be sitting on like $90 million. 0.98

00:11:33.320 I know, shut up, shut up, shut up. 0.93

00:11:36.380 So, and I'm 27 years old. 0.99

00:11:38.640 Like, I would be sitting somewhere, you know, in the Pacific, like, surfing every day.

00:11:42.640 Yeah.

00:11:43.300 So, yeah, I threw like 800 bucks at it.

00:11:45.620 I hustled it with my friends.

00:11:46.800 Like, I was charging 6% on top.

00:11:48.640 And now I've profited like $2,500, dude.

00:11:53.260 How great is that?

00:11:54.400 Are you kidding me?

00:11:55.540 What was it?

00:11:56.200 What was it, Colin, that made you pull the trigger?

00:11:58.220 Finally go, jeez.

00:11:59.120 I've got it.

00:11:59.760 Was it the...

00:12:00.440 Honestly, like, being like a decentralized currency, non-fiat, like, I have a lot more, I don't know, like, idealistic ideologies behind it.

00:12:09.680 Yes.

00:12:10.160 And it's like, why not?

00:12:11.480 Like, I don't want to wake up when I'm 40 years old and tell my kids, like, I've got two kids.

00:12:16.100 I could be, we could be on an island that I own right now, you know?

00:12:21.440 Or, and okay, what?

00:12:22.780 Dad lost $1,000.

00:12:23.920 Who cares?

00:12:25.180 Yeah.

00:12:25.720 Yeah.

00:12:26.620 That's the great part is you can only lose what you put in.

00:12:28.960 Thanks, Colin, man.

00:12:29.640 I appreciate it.

00:12:30.440 You know, he's got, he's, I feel exactly the same way.

00:12:35.440 Ideologically, I am so aligned with Bitcoin.

00:12:39.240 Ideologically, it is the ultimate disruptor.

00:12:42.340 Think of, think, this is a scary thought.

00:12:45.640 Think of the number of millionaires and billionaires that probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Bitcoin.

00:12:55.740 I mean, think of the people that, for instance, WikiLeaks got into it at 30 cents.

00:13:04.000 Yeah.

00:13:04.620 Something like that.

00:13:05.300 I don't know if it was that.

00:13:05.940 We don't even know.

00:13:06.540 We don't even know how much they put in, but it was around, let's say it was a dollar, you know, or let's be crazy.

00:13:12.500 It was $100 when they got in.

00:13:14.580 It was a lot lower than that.

00:13:16.460 Yeah.

00:13:16.640 And Julian Assange was forced into Bitcoin because government shut down his funding.

00:13:20.760 So he, that was the only way he could get any money.

00:13:22.520 And so people, when they would donate, they donated in Bitcoin when it was a dollar, $10, $20, $50, $100, $200.

00:13:31.580 And now it's worth how much, you know, I mean, 50, 100 times more than that.

00:13:36.680 And so what power is going to these people who accumulated a bunch of these things when they cost nothing and now they're worth $10,000?

00:13:47.540 Who are those people?

00:13:48.820 Can you imagine who the people, the early adopters were either tech geeks or what, who knows what fringe element that wound up getting in that?

00:13:57.640 Well, there's two people that have wallets that are, that are worth over a billion dollars.

00:14:03.560 Yeah, well, yeah, two wallets worth over a billion dollars.

00:14:06.440 So that's likely, one of them I think is definitely a mining company.

00:14:09.920 But I'm sure they're probably not individual people, but there are a lot.

00:14:13.860 I mean, in the nine figures now, you've, I mean, there's over a hundred in the nine figures, about a hundred in the nine figures.

00:14:22.040 That's over a hundred.

00:14:23.180 A hundred million dollars in this stuff.

00:14:25.780 Who are they?

00:14:26.580 You know, you probably, somebody like Peter Thiel.

00:14:29.440 Yeah, somebody who is, who really knew technology.

00:14:31.500 Yeah.

00:14:31.640 Because I mean, a lot of the people would be technology.

00:14:33.000 I think a lot of libertarians, right?

00:14:35.260 Libertarians who love the philosophy of this, because the other part of it is not only decentralized banking, but it's also no inflation.

00:14:41.820 There's, they're going to be 21 million of these things, and then they stop making them.

00:14:44.380 They're gone forever.

00:14:45.120 So God only, I mean, you can't print them.

00:14:48.480 There's no printing of Bitcoins.

00:14:50.340 Yeah, but when you say that, I also think of, you know, the Weimar Republic and, you know, this currency isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

00:14:57.480 Yes, but at least there was paper.

00:15:02.960 You were using it as toilet paper.

00:15:05.120 I know.

00:15:05.740 Bitcoin.

00:15:06.640 I don't even have that.

00:15:07.960 I'm still using a stick.

00:15:09.260 Tanya and I needed to redo our bedroom bad.

00:15:21.160 I mean, it really looked like Donald Trump had decorated our bedroom when we, when we bought our house.

00:15:25.940 And we're tired of looking through, you know, the windows with, um, I mean, it was, it wasn't good.

00:15:34.120 Let's just put it that way.

00:15:35.720 House was decorated with large oil paintings of Donald Trump.

00:15:38.840 No, but, uh, you know, it was, it was a little God.

00:15:42.020 Okay.

00:15:42.220 It was a little gaudy when we bought it.

00:16:47.380 Glenn back.

00:16:50.400 Glenn back.

00:16:55.860 So I want to hear from, I want to hear from you if you, because we, we're probably the most mainstream, uh, voice for Bitcoin, would you say?

00:17:08.700 Do you know any other show that's really talked about Bitcoin as much as we have?

00:17:11.820 Certainly a lot of tech.

00:17:13.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:13.720 I mean, mainstream.

00:17:15.760 I don't mean.

00:17:16.060 And I call you, you know, this program mainstream feels very odd, but I know what you're saying.

00:17:21.020 You're right.

00:17:21.580 Yeah.

00:17:22.320 Widely listened to.

00:17:23.380 I don't know.

00:17:23.800 Yeah.

00:17:24.500 Yeah.

00:17:24.920 I mean, it's.

00:17:25.360 I mean, Wired Magazine and every, you know, that there's a lot of that.

00:17:28.660 They're way ahead of us.

00:17:30.000 But for the average Joe, I think this is probably the only place where you're getting Bitcoin news.

00:17:37.160 And that might be a really good reason for that.

00:17:39.140 Yes.

00:17:39.560 You know, but, uh, it's interesting to see a lot of people writing in and saying, you know,

00:17:42.960 like Thomas writes, I invested $1,790 on January 26th.

00:17:48.000 I took out my initial investment and have profited roughly $14,500.

00:17:53.820 I can essentially pay my entire next semester of law school tuition if I took it all out.

00:18:00.420 I mean, that's, uh, there's a lot of these types of stories.

00:18:03.700 I invested June 1st, 2017 and have quadrupled my money.

00:18:09.060 It's, it's, it really isn't, again, like who knows what's going to happen, but it's incredible

00:18:12.660 to watch.

00:18:13.220 Let's go to Missouri and Ryan.

00:18:16.460 Ryan.

00:18:18.000 Glenn.

00:18:18.620 Hey, I'm here.

00:18:19.400 How are you?

00:18:20.760 I am awesome.

00:18:21.500 Hey, I just want to say it's awesome to talk to you.

00:18:23.000 I've been a fan since you were on headline news.

00:18:25.000 Wow.

00:18:25.340 People send pitchforks in.

00:18:26.740 So thank you.

00:18:30.140 So Ryan, you invested in Bitcoin.

00:18:32.820 How long ago?

00:18:34.520 Yeah.

00:18:34.840 So I'm an investment advisor.

00:18:36.300 I've been an investment advisor for eight years.

00:18:38.140 So I keep my eye out for these kinds of things.

00:18:40.280 Um, I got back in, I bought in, uh, 2013 when it was just below $80.

00:18:45.140 Oh, and, uh, I'll admit at first it was kind of because I saw the price jumping up, but

00:18:50.340 then I saw, you know, I started actually reading and doing a lot of reading about it and I'm

00:18:54.920 convinced.

00:18:55.360 And so I've been putting a little bit every, you know, every time I get paid, I put more

00:18:59.240 into it.

00:18:59.780 Um, so yeah, I mean, I've been buying nonstop since 2013 and you know, clearly it's done

00:19:05.280 okay for me, but, uh, yeah, I bet it's gone okay for you.

00:19:08.960 How much, do you mind telling us how much you've made?

00:19:12.860 Uh, no, I don't like to talk about that because here's the other thing, Glenn is this summer.

00:19:16.940 I, I, my, my securities firm wouldn't let us that Bitcoin is a topic that's blacklisted

00:19:22.880 firm wise.

00:19:23.680 So I couldn't even talk about Bitcoin with clients.

00:19:25.660 Uh, so I decided, okay, well I quit and I opened my own Bitcoin asset management company.

00:19:31.680 So that's one of the things I don't talk about.

00:19:33.780 I don't talk about how much I have or how much my clients have.

00:19:36.160 So, um, so yeah, you know, if I, but would you say that your investment in Bitcoin has

00:19:42.280 put you in a position to where you could quit your job?

00:19:45.480 Yeah.

00:19:46.020 Yeah.

00:19:46.300 Yeah.

00:19:46.940 That was one of the things that made that decision easier this summer was that I had

00:19:51.340 plenty of, uh, you know, cushion to follow behind.

00:19:53.940 So, um, and you know, I didn't even get in that early.

00:19:56.660 Truly.

00:19:57.020 I've got a friend here in town whose cousins got in and they did mining when it was less

00:20:01.680 than, uh, 50 cents.

00:20:03.240 And, uh, I don't, I don't know them, but he says that they are now, the two of them

00:20:06.860 are now living off of a 50 foot yacht on the coast of Chile and they don't even do anything.

00:20:10.860 Oh my gosh.

00:20:12.580 Ryan, thanks so much for your phone call.

00:20:15.300 That's incredible.

00:20:16.840 Incredible.

00:20:17.640 Back in just a second.

00:20:25.660 Glenn back.

00:20:29.760 Yeah.

00:20:31.680 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:41.820 So looking at the, the average household and what is happening to us right now, seriously,

00:20:49.620 uh, serious delinquency rates, um, hit 4.6 on credit card delinquencies.

00:20:56.740 Now, uh, ingested for inflation, the growth of us credit cards,

00:21:01.660 card spending has outpaced that of incomes for 26 straight months, meaning we're in trouble.

00:21:10.020 We're, we're putting our life on our card and we're going to pay it off later.

00:21:15.300 We're, we're becoming the federal government.

00:21:17.840 Uh, the delinquency for subprime loans originated by auto finance companies hit, uh, 9.7% in the

00:21:26.300 three months ended in September.

00:21:28.440 Um, this is, uh, a, a pretty high rate.

00:21:33.660 In fact, it's the largest or the highest rate outside of a recession.

00:21:38.320 In 2009, it peaked at 10.9.

00:21:43.080 We're at 9.7 and we're not quote in a recession at all.

00:21:47.400 There's a couple of other things that are kind of disturbing.

00:21:50.540 Um, the, uh, the savings rate now personal savings rate is 3.4.

00:21:58.560 The current rate is not only the lowest since 2007, it is the lowest on record since 1900.

00:22:06.620 We're not saving money anymore.

00:22:10.120 Uh, it's going to be interesting to see what happens with the tax bill in that.

00:22:14.460 So far, I think the economy has priced in success on the tax bill.

00:22:18.360 Uh, so one of those things where, you know, you sort of buy the news and sell the actual

00:22:24.820 event, uh, you wonder if these things are going to, if the economy, once they see the

00:22:30.660 actual tax plan and it's passed, whether that excitement dies down or God forbid it actually

00:22:35.520 fails.

00:22:36.420 Uh, because I mean that with all of the negatives that are part of that tax plan, the, the cut

00:22:41.760 to corporate tax is so significant that I think it really is a real engine for growth.

00:22:48.360 Uh, and if that actually happens, you know, these companies are going to have a lot of

00:22:53.400 extra money and probably can hire a lot of extra people and can expand and all of those

00:22:57.300 things I think are real.

00:22:58.320 I mean, that's a, it's a, it's a, that's a legitimate positive of this and it's in both

00:23:02.160 of the plans, the Senate and the house plan.

00:23:04.240 There's a lot of differences in them and whether the Senate can actually come together with

00:23:07.860 the house and whether there's so many unknowns with that, but I mean, the Senate still has

00:23:13.240 to pass it.

00:23:13.720 They think it could happen in the next couple of weeks.

00:23:15.200 They want to get this bill to Trump's desk by Christmas.

00:23:18.360 We'll see if they can do it.

00:23:21.500 Have you been reading about, uh, Elon Musk and, and, uh, the bankruptcy of Tesla, the

00:23:27.780 possible bankruptcy of Tesla?

00:23:29.860 They're saying he is now spending $8,000 a minute or $480,000 an hour in his car company.

00:23:38.460 And, uh, they're losing a massive amount of cash.

00:23:41.740 You might not, if you're not a, you know, a business person, you might not know this,

00:23:44.580 but that's suboptimal.

00:23:46.260 So you'd rather not do that.

00:23:49.080 Well, it's not bad if you're, if you're making, you know, uh, $25,000 a minute.

00:23:55.980 No, it's true.

00:23:57.200 Then you're okay.

00:23:58.200 Yeah.

00:23:58.540 Then you're okay.

00:24:00.060 But, uh, that's a suboptimal.

00:24:02.700 So is, do you know, have you, have you been following this?

00:24:06.640 Cause these popped up last week.

00:24:08.260 I saw a lot of them.

00:24:09.220 Yeah.

00:24:09.360 I mean, you know, Tesla has always been draining, you know, spending a lot of money and a lot

00:24:13.600 of your money.

00:24:14.340 If you're a U S taxpayer, uh, they, you know, there's a lot of, uh, you know, a lot of cash

00:24:19.040 or tax giveaways that go along with the electric cars.

00:24:21.600 We've covered many times on the program.

00:24:23.500 Um, but that's been kind of the charm of Elon Musk, right?

00:24:28.400 If you're a multi-billionaire and you have, you know, think, you know, you think, convert

00:24:33.840 this to your life.

00:24:34.660 His, his care is, let's say the environment, right?

00:24:37.280 So he wants to build these crazy electric cars and that's what he cares about.

00:24:40.200 And he's, he's building cars that are, it's his passion.

00:24:42.300 He builds these cars and they're, you know, the newest one is zero to 16, 1.9 seconds.

00:24:46.360 That's faster than a Bugatti, which is over $3 million.

00:24:49.500 And they were, they're going to do this supposedly for $200,000.

00:24:52.980 So that's, if that's your passion, if it's your passion is, you know, sports or your passion

00:24:58.380 is, you know, boats, imagine what you could do if you didn't care about losing money.

00:25:02.760 If you were building a company that was, uh, going after this new technology and all these

00:25:07.020 exciting things that were exciting to you and you didn't care about losing a

00:25:12.280 a few hundred million dollars in the process, but at some point you care.

00:25:17.240 And that's why, well, you have it structured in a way that you can just go bankrupt, I

00:25:20.380 guess, and continue to restructure.

00:25:22.660 They think that that could happen within the next couple of years.

00:25:24.900 And it's, you know, look, he's, he's going against the grain, which is again, part of

00:25:29.620 the reason why I think it's, it's kind of a cool story in that there's no sensible

00:25:33.660 reason to build an electric car company other than you just kind of feel like it and you

00:25:39.880 have a passion for whatever it is, whether it's the environment or with my, with me,

00:25:44.040 with Tesla is, is the performance of the car.

00:25:45.860 I mean, it's incredible.

00:25:46.660 And with me, it's the technology.

00:25:48.660 It's just cool.

00:25:49.160 Right.

00:25:49.440 Yeah.

00:25:49.900 But I mean, it, you wouldn't do that because there's not the infrastructure to support

00:25:53.340 it.

00:25:53.560 So he's also building the infrastructure and he's also building all of these other

00:25:56.700 things.

00:25:56.960 And it's not surprising.

00:25:57.780 He's going to lose money.

00:25:58.640 I think that's part of the equation with the guy.

00:26:00.700 He knows he's going to lose money, which, you know, with the amount of money he already

00:26:04.440 had, he has that cushion to do so.

00:26:06.340 So, but if he goes, if we're, if we're talking about real bankruptcy, I mean, I, you know,

00:26:12.380 there'll be a little, a little, the charm will go away, I think.

00:26:15.820 So we have spent a lot of time talking about money since we, since we went on the air today.

00:26:23.620 How was your Thanksgiving?

00:26:26.920 I mean, thank you for asking.

00:26:29.040 It was nice.

00:26:30.520 I mean, I had a, a tofurkey roast, which I think most people probably did.

00:26:34.500 I mean, I would assume that was kind of a common thing around the country.

00:26:37.760 That just sounds horrendously bad.

00:26:40.400 You should have seen the picture of it.

00:26:41.960 I posted a picture on, uh, on Twitter at world of stew.

00:26:44.620 You can see it where it, cause it comes in this sort of like, I would say like greenish

00:26:50.640 blue wrapping.

00:26:52.660 Oh my gosh.

00:26:53.600 Uh, it was not appetizing out of the box.

00:26:55.920 I'll tell you that.

00:26:57.400 After cooking it, you know, it was okay.

00:27:00.380 It wasn't as good as the, I mean,

00:27:01.620 as the holiday classic Worthington's protein loaf that I usually have.

00:27:06.240 Uh, and now the Worthington's is a much higher quality product in my opinion.

00:27:10.240 No, no offense to the tofurkey people. 1.00

00:27:12.060 I'm sure they're fine.

00:27:13.300 Uh, but the Worthington's protein loaf, that's top of the line.

00:27:16.580 I mean, if you get, if you've got a seventh day Adventist church near you and they've got

00:27:20.660 a little store, go pick up a Worthington's protein loaf.

00:27:22.900 I'm just looking at that.

00:27:24.080 I mean, how could you possibly eat that?

00:27:26.460 Oh, you're saying the tofurkey thing.

00:27:27.780 Oh my gosh.

00:27:28.540 That was, uh...

00:27:29.420 No.

00:27:30.880 It does look sort of bluish gray.

00:27:33.380 I'm going to post our turkey.

00:27:34.960 Now, did it look like mine?

00:27:36.080 Uh, yeah, look, uh, yeah, mine looked just like yours.

00:27:39.500 Did it come in the bluish gray wrapping?

00:27:41.300 Uh, no.

00:27:42.080 Well, I didn't see it at that point.

00:27:44.240 Uh, uh, but I don't think it did.

00:27:47.920 Uh, ours, ours just looked like that.

00:27:51.760 Yeah, yours, yours is a, it's a different way to go, I would say.

00:27:55.500 Just looks yummy.

00:27:56.320 It does look like a, more of a classic look.

00:27:58.820 Yeah.

00:27:59.200 There's almost no bluish gray in it.

00:28:00.940 No.

00:28:01.260 Uh, no.

00:28:02.440 It looks very nicely seasoned.

00:28:04.060 So, you know, now we've got, so look at what we've just done.

00:28:06.700 Are we not typical Americans?

00:28:08.540 Because the next thing we have to do is talk politics.

00:28:10.800 We just talked money and then we talked food.

00:28:13.560 Yes.

00:28:15.360 How was your holiday?

00:28:18.040 Well, all the, uh, I was listening to the Christmas music that came on and, uh, is there...

00:28:25.140 How was your family?

00:28:26.120 What?

00:28:26.680 How was your family?

00:28:27.360 Oh, uh, were they there?

00:28:29.160 Uh, oh yeah, they were there.

00:28:31.220 No, yeah, they were great, actually.

00:28:32.520 It was, that was, uh, of course the highlight.

00:28:33.980 Of course, the audience doesn't know any of these people, so I didn't spend too much time

00:28:37.900 thinking about how it explained to them how they were.

00:28:41.420 Right.

00:28:41.800 Um.

00:28:42.140 Any of them bluish green or gray when they saw the turkey?

00:28:44.840 They ate that thing I made and they're still alive, which is kind of interesting.

00:28:47.980 That sounds yummy.

00:28:48.840 Or at least they told me they ate it.

00:28:50.520 We had, you know, we, we, um...

00:28:56.800 Let me, let me start here.

00:28:59.060 Did you hear about David Cassidy?

00:29:01.280 David Cassidy died.

00:29:02.700 Yeah.

00:29:02.980 Um, David Cassidy was in the Partridge family.

00:29:07.640 Uh, he was 67 years old, which is not old.

00:29:11.580 67 years old.

00:29:14.040 He's had a rough go of it the last few years.

00:29:17.040 Uh, he went through bankruptcy.

00:29:19.880 Uh, I think he got three or four, uh, DUIs.

00:29:24.100 Um, his life kind of went off the rails.

00:29:26.320 And he was the, he was a big, like, teen, teen star.

00:29:29.160 Oh, he was huge.

00:29:30.180 Back in the day.

00:29:30.920 Yeah, huge back in the day.

00:29:32.440 Was he in a group or was he...

00:29:33.400 Partridge family.

00:29:34.100 Partridge family, right?

00:29:34.600 Yeah, that's right.

00:29:35.140 He was in the Partridge family.

00:29:37.140 And, um, he was huge.

00:29:39.800 Huge.

00:29:43.240 He was able to milk that for a long time.

00:29:46.600 And then his life towards the end fell apart.

00:29:49.660 The reason why I bring him up is...

00:29:53.020 I had a great time with my family.

00:29:57.380 For the first time in my life, I didn't check my email.

00:30:02.500 I didn't answer my phone.

00:30:04.760 I didn't check the news.

00:30:06.640 Nothing for a week.

00:30:08.920 And I had the best time with my children and my grandchildren.

00:30:14.040 Had just the best.

00:30:17.480 If you didn't do that, let me leave you with David Cassidy's last words.

00:30:23.100 His daughter just posted,

00:30:27.660 Words can't express the solace our family received from all the love and support during this trying time.

00:30:34.200 My father's last words will be a daily reminder for me to share my gratitude with those that I love

00:30:40.460 and to never waste another minute.

00:32:18.480 Glenn, back.

00:32:28.480 Glenn, back.

00:32:29.900 Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the announcement of the Nazarene Fund.

00:32:41.820 We've been calling it internally Nazarene 2.0.

00:32:46.260 As you may know, the Nazarene Fund, started by this program and funded by you,

00:32:53.080 was to save the persecuted Christians in the Middle East.

00:33:00.360 And we just, do you remember what it, if we could save like 20 families,

00:33:08.760 what was the beginning hope and dream?

00:33:12.600 It was less than 100.

00:33:13.920 If we could, if we could just save a hundred families, it would be fantastic.

00:33:20.900 We ended up protecting and relocating 6,000 persecuted Christians in these cities.

00:33:29.500 And then, let's see here, we resettled 5,462 people.

00:33:38.920 Uh, and then we evacuated and moved out of the country, 7,602 people.

00:33:48.200 That's not counting all the other stuff that the Nazarene Fund did.

00:33:51.560 Well, we wanted to get serious about helping, um, the Christians and Yazidis.

00:33:58.440 That wasn't serious?

00:33:59.840 6,000 families?

00:34:00.940 Well, when we did that, we thought, you know, that's really serious.

00:34:03.940 And then we thought, you know, we probably have 18 to 24 months, um, before you're just not

00:34:12.520 going to get back in there.

00:34:14.320 And I, I think our people on the ground tell us that it's becoming wildly unstable and, um,

00:34:21.940 the Christians that are being held in 18 to 24 months, they'll just, you're not going to

00:34:27.980 get them out.

00:34:28.760 You're just not going to get them out.

00:34:29.780 Um, and so we're going to announce something today, um, and we're going to need your help,

00:34:36.680 uh, to, to pull something off that I don't know if anybody's, you know, anybody's ever

00:34:44.160 done it, but nobody's ever done what, what this audience did last time, but we would like

00:34:49.660 to get serious about the, um, the problem with slavery in the Middle East.

00:34:58.060 Um, and we'll announce that coming up in just a few minutes.

00:35:01.720 So stand by for that.

00:35:03.860 Did you do any shopping this weekend?

00:35:05.960 I did not.

00:35:07.440 I did not.

00:35:08.460 I don't, I just, I mean, I know the Black Friday thing was a big, I feel like now I

00:35:14.060 don't want to have to shiv people. 0.73

00:35:15.560 Yeah.

00:35:15.900 I'd rather, I'd rather just like keep the violence out.

00:35:18.860 Yeah.

00:35:19.300 You know, um, luckily you can do that on the internet and then they just, the people just

00:35:23.220 bring stuff to your house.

00:35:24.320 It's amazing.

00:35:24.900 It's a miracle.

00:35:26.020 You just click on things and all of a sudden they show up at your house.

00:35:28.580 I don't know how it happens.

00:35:29.460 I don't, I don't care how it happens.

00:35:31.160 So we went to Walmart, we did some shopping.

00:35:33.800 Um, we were up at, um, uh, Walmart and there were all these toys and things that were in

00:35:41.540 the aisle and you know, can't, you know, can't buy them until Friday.

00:35:47.040 It could have been a gold plated, you know, Porsche for a hundred dollars.

00:35:53.460 I'm not coming in on Friday.

00:35:54.760 I'm just not coming in on Friday morning.

00:35:57.100 Yeah.

00:35:58.300 It's really not smart.

00:36:00.240 That was a big family tradition for us.

00:36:01.780 Like for a million years, my grandma, my aunt would go out six in the morning on Black Friday

00:36:06.720 and go do that. 0.60

00:36:07.480 I mean, I know obviously it still happens.

00:36:09.280 Big records have been, you know, you know, there was a lot of money being spent on Black 0.99

00:36:13.780 Friday and Cyber Monday is a huge thing today, but man, I, I just, I don't, I just don't

00:36:20.240 care enough.

00:36:21.100 You know what?

00:36:21.680 You know what family members that I'd be purchasing stuff for don't care.

00:36:24.440 Don't care.

00:36:24.980 You know what?

00:36:25.380 When you, when you care like me, you care enough to pay the higher price.

00:36:28.580 Did you see that one of the must haves set a record for Black Friday?

00:36:35.620 Gun sales.

00:36:39.020 203,086 background check requests on Friday.

00:36:43.780 That's interesting.

00:36:44.540 Cause I really, I honestly put a lot of those new records.

00:36:48.140 They had set records for several years on the idea that people were worried Obama would,

00:36:51.820 would target a specific gun, ban them, take them away, make them more difficult to purchase.

00:36:56.860 But I mean, there's no real worry of that right now.

00:36:59.540 I don't think nationally.

00:37:00.680 Same thing with Bitcoin.

00:37:02.060 Now, Bitcoin started to be like, I could get rich.

00:37:04.840 But before that, it was people going, I don't trust the system.

00:37:10.080 And I think it's the same thing.

00:37:11.640 I don't think people trust the system.

00:37:13.780 They see the way, the direction the world is going, the direction the country is going.

00:37:18.160 And they're like, you know what?

00:37:19.260 A gun wouldn't be a bad thing.

00:37:23.740 Well, now it's all the left, right?

00:37:25.480 Like Sarah Silverman's on TV saying she's turned into a prepper.

00:37:30.540 Sarah Silverman with a gun.

00:37:32.180 Yes.

00:37:34.060 Protected by the Second Amendment.

00:37:36.120 Yes.

00:37:36.560 Glenn Beck.

00:37:44.460 Love.

00:37:46.000 Courage.

00:37:47.640 Truth.

00:37:48.620 Glenn Beck.

00:37:49.560 What matters more, power or principles?

00:37:52.940 Kind of a conversation we've been having for a long time.

00:37:56.100 It's easy to say principles when you're not in power.

00:37:59.360 But for those who are in power or who those who are close to getting into power, how many

00:38:07.060 can actually say, backed up by their actions, that principles come first?

00:38:12.160 Is it better to have power in order to accomplish something really important, you know, even a

00:38:17.400 good for the country, even if it means violating some principles along the way?

00:38:22.620 This is a conversation that we should actually have.

00:38:25.340 A real serious conversation in our country.

00:38:28.260 A lot of Republicans and Democrats would say, yeah, it is.

00:38:31.700 A year after the presidential election, this continues to be a disturbing trend in America.

00:38:36.480 The win at all costs attitude.

00:38:39.460 We're leaking principles left and right and trying to play king of the mountain.

00:38:44.480 We now have an 88 year old Democrat from Michigan, John Conyers, longest serving member of Congress

00:38:52.680 who gets to secretly settle a sexual harassment complaint with taxpayer money.

00:38:59.340 And the worst consequence he may face is stepping down from the House Judiciary Committee, which

00:39:04.340 he did yesterday.

00:39:05.640 A second woman has also accused him of sexual harassment.

00:39:09.960 Now, a couple of Democrats have called for him to resign from Congress.

00:39:13.320 But so far, Conyers says he won't.

00:39:15.740 In fact, he plans to fight the sexual harassment allegations against him and regain his spot

00:39:21.000 on the Judiciary Committee.

00:39:22.400 Why?

00:39:24.240 Because of winning power.

00:39:26.180 It's more important than principles.

00:39:29.020 Then we have the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Meet the Press yesterday, awkwardly

00:39:34.740 defending Conyers because he's an icon.

00:39:36.820 I'm not sure being an icon is the best defense to use here, but OK.

00:39:43.380 She also said that Conyers deserves due process.

00:39:47.920 Wow.

00:39:49.200 Now, that's the first time I've heard anyone call for due process in the last six months.

00:39:55.280 Due process.

00:39:56.380 Yes, that's true.

00:39:58.040 It's vital.

00:39:59.040 But I'm just trying to figure out why due process is appropriate with Conyers, while accusers

00:40:06.260 in other cases seem to be taken at their word.

00:40:10.100 See, we are no longer a country of principles or laws.

00:40:14.380 We are a country of men.

00:40:17.940 And depending on the man, depends on which law is going to be applied to you.

00:40:23.080 Pelosi went on to say that you can't equate Al Franken and Roy Moore sexual harassment

00:40:29.060 allegations.

00:40:31.500 Why is she defending Conyers and Franken?

00:40:35.300 Because power matters more than principles.

00:40:38.460 What matters most?

00:40:40.540 This is the question I've been focusing on in my own personal life a lot lately.

00:40:45.320 What matters most?

00:40:47.300 Our principles certainly matter because they are the bedrock that our free society is built

00:40:52.700 on.

00:40:54.020 And when that bedrock of principles fractures, the entire thing will crumble.

00:41:00.640 And we are now seeing the effects of those early fractures right now.

00:41:15.100 It's Monday, November 27th.

00:41:17.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:19.260 So what matters most?

00:41:25.860 Last week, we took a vacation with the kids and we went up to the mountains and we got our

00:41:33.800 own Christmas tree and we cut it down at the, I think it's the Adams Tree Farm.

00:41:39.820 It's just his family that started their own tree farm about 10 years ago.

00:41:46.900 Because they wanted to do something with their kids.

00:41:51.260 So they started a tree farm.

00:41:53.160 I realized over the weekend that trees, especially the blue spruce, those are like razor blades.

00:42:07.420 Those trees can defend themselves.

00:42:09.520 I kind of appreciated the artificial tree that we had been going with all these years as we went

00:42:19.440 out to go cut our own tree down.

00:42:22.120 But then just sawing it off with my son and my daughters was great.

00:42:32.500 building the memories.

00:42:37.560 What matters most?

00:42:39.540 Really, not a lot.

00:42:42.300 Not a lot.

00:42:45.360 Eternal things.

00:42:48.580 If you're not doing something, or let me put it this way, if you are doing something

00:42:53.100 and it doesn't have some sort of an eternal consequence, why are you doing it?

00:42:58.840 Why are any of us doing it?

00:43:09.180 Before I left on vacation, we had a fundraiser for Mercury One.

00:43:13.800 And we announced something at the fundraiser that I am so thrilled to be able to announce

00:43:21.120 today.

00:43:24.560 In 2015, I asked you to stand with me and say, never again is now.

00:43:31.040 And help those Christians that were persecuted and other religious minorities that were persecuted

00:43:38.800 in the Middle East who had been displaced and terrorized by ISIS.

00:43:46.800 Your gifts.

00:43:48.080 There were no corporate checks that came in.

00:43:51.920 There's no big sponsor of this.

00:43:54.040 This is all coming in in $10 and $20 and $30 checks.

00:43:59.320 We raised over $18 million.

00:44:02.140 And with that $18 million, here's what we accomplished.

00:44:06.200 We provided emergency humanitarian aid to the Christians and displaced persons in Syria

00:44:12.500 and in Iraq, 35,000 people were served.

00:44:17.300 We resettled 5,462 people from four Christian and Yazidi refugee camps and placed them in safe

00:44:26.780 and dignified homes.

00:44:28.060 We evacuated 7,602 Christians and Yazidi refugees.

00:44:35.360 These people were marked for death.

00:44:39.000 We got them out of the country, 7,602. 0.91

00:44:45.040 We funded 117 projects ranging from rebuilding churches and schools to building medical clinics.

00:44:52.040 And in the last year, we have sponsored the rescue of Christian and Yazidi women and children

00:44:59.520 that had been captured and enslaved by ISIS and reunited them with their families.

00:45:05.340 We have done that with 100 slaves.

00:45:09.140 This has come at a cost of $18 million, but it also has come in the form of a higher cost of two lives.

00:45:23.380 Two people that were on our rescue crew gave their life to save a mother and a daughter.

00:45:35.020 They got them out, went back, thought they could get more, were captured and killed.

00:45:49.580 The situation in the Middle East has changed a great deal.

00:45:53.420 And we sat and looked at each other and thought, okay, we've accomplished an awful lot.

00:46:05.520 Is there more that we can do?

00:46:08.520 In talking to our sources on the ground in the Middle East, the next 18 to 24 months are really critical.

00:46:16.280 By the 18 months, things are really going to change there, we think.

00:46:20.780 There are currently 6,000 slaves, women and children, Christians, Yazidis, that are subhuman.

00:46:36.340 They were brought into slavery by ISIS.

00:46:41.620 And even though ISIS now has been wiped out, the effects of ISIS remain.

00:46:47.340 Again, they have set up a slave trade, and it's worse than that.

00:46:55.260 They have also gone into organ selling.

00:47:01.060 I can't give you the details because it will reveal sources and could reveal potential targets.

00:47:10.660 But they are now capturing children, Christian children, and harvesting them for organs. 0.97

00:47:21.780 I've seen this with my own eyes.

00:47:27.000 It is horrific what is happening.

00:47:31.180 And the world is not paying attention.

00:47:34.260 We've decided to recommit ourselves.

00:47:45.300 We would like to ask for your help.

00:47:53.680 The Nazarene Fund has appointed a new CEO.

00:48:03.460 His name is Tim Ballard.

00:48:05.560 He is the CEO and operations specialist for Operation Underground Railroad.

00:48:13.320 And Tim and I have been talking for a long time about combining our efforts because there are more Christians in Northern Africa.

00:48:22.480 We are just scratching the surface in the Middle East.

00:48:26.760 You know, I know you can do a hashtag, you know, give us our children back.

00:48:33.580 But we would like to send people in and actually get those children back.

00:48:39.440 So we have a goal.

00:48:41.500 We would like to raise $25 million in the next 12 months.

00:48:45.560 $25 million is an awful lot of money, but it can do an awful lot of good if you will help us.

00:48:55.980 We want to continue to liberate the captive and free the enslaved and to rescue and rebuild and restore the lives of Christians and other persecuted religious and ethnic minorities whenever and wherever they're in need.

00:49:12.360 And we're not going to go for just a single conflict anymore.

00:49:17.920 We would like you to help us rescue the slaves that are currently in the Middle East and break up the slave trade.

00:49:38.140 We would like to, in the first year, for $25 million, we are going to relocate another 6,000 Christians and Yazidis.

00:49:51.940 We will rebuild 250 homes.

00:49:54.640 We will rescue 400 women and children kidnapped by ISIS and make a serious dent in the illegal trafficking and preserve the Christian community there in the Middle East.

00:50:14.160 More than 400 victims have been identified and they are currently held against their will.

00:50:20.740 Many of them are sex slaves.

00:50:22.260 Rescue operations are very risky. 0.99

00:50:25.480 They have to be executed, planned out, and executed quickly.

00:50:31.940 We believe that we can physically pull out of slavery 2,500 children. 0.97

00:50:41.080 400 kidnapped women and slaves.

00:50:44.420 We would like to set a goal for ourselves of completing 160 rescue operations in 2018.

00:50:55.100 That is, almost one rescue operation every other day.

00:51:00.800 These, again, are dangerous.

00:51:07.300 But they are life-changing.

00:51:09.300 We would like you to go to the Nazarene Fund.org if you would like to be an abolitionist and you would like to help the persecuted Christians and other religious minorities and help us free them and free the sex slave all around the world. 0.97

00:51:33.560 That is, in the Middle East, that is, in the Middle East, breaking up the slavery, that is, in Northern Africa, breaking up the Christian slavery, freeing them, and freeing those captives all around the world.

00:51:46.900 Go to thenazarenefund.org and join us, thenazarenefund.org.

00:51:53.900 At thenazarenefund.org, you can find a place to donate.

00:52:07.980 And by the way, what you're talking about, you know, you're talking about tens of millions of dollars and thousands of families.

00:52:12.180 These numbers are really big.

00:52:13.760 I mean, it's a couple thousand dollars per person saved.

00:52:17.400 It's really not, it seems like so much money, but when you're talking about thousands of people, it adds up really fast.

00:52:24.500 But for a couple thousand dollars, I mean, to fly to these areas would probably cost a couple thousand dollars.

00:52:29.400 So, I mean, it actually, you know, it's a pretty efficient process for what it is.

00:52:34.600 We really, we have some unbelievable people that are on the ground over there that are risking their lives.

00:52:40.640 Every single day, they're risking their lives.

00:52:43.800 And they come and they tell us the stories of what these people are going through and what it takes to rescue them.

00:52:52.420 And it doesn't take a lot of money.

00:52:55.180 It takes a lot of bravery, but it doesn't take a lot of money.

00:53:00.060 And this audience can do it.

00:53:02.560 So join us at thenazarenefund.org.

00:54:17.880 Glenn Beck.

00:54:19.340 Glenn Beck.

00:54:31.120 So glad that you have joined us today.

00:54:33.400 By the way, the NazareneFund.org has, we've crashed the site.

00:54:37.800 So please continue to go there.

00:54:42.000 You can also go to MercuryOne.org if the NazareneFund.org is not available to you right now.

00:54:49.620 You can also go to MercuryOne.org and just look for the Nazarene Fund.

00:54:53.420 You can donate there.

00:54:55.460 But we have quite a goal that we've set out.

00:54:59.260 And, you know, we did this.

00:55:00.620 We wanted to raise, I think it was a million dollars.

00:55:03.300 We wanted to raise a million dollars.

00:55:04.700 And we ended up raising 18 million, and we barely even mentioned it because you did all of the work.

00:55:12.040 You told your churches, and you told your schools, and your friends, and people were making 10, 20, $30 donations.

00:55:21.360 And look at the good that you have done.

00:55:24.640 This is a much more aggressive situation.

00:55:26.700 At the time, I think we were saying that it was $25,000 per person getting them out.

00:55:33.940 As Stu just pointed out, we're down to now $2,000.

00:55:38.000 Rescuing all these people is down to about $2,000.

00:55:42.100 And we could really, really use your help.

00:55:45.720 So go to the NazareneFund.org or MercuryOne.org and look for the Nazarene Fund and join us today.

00:55:52.480 So we have to talk a little bit about Al Franken and Nancy Pelosi.

00:56:00.620 And could we just play Al Franken's, again, the easiest question to answer of all time?

00:56:09.640 He can't seem to answer it.

00:56:11.100 Here it is. 0.99

00:56:11.600 Are they mistaken that their butt was grabbed? 0.99

00:56:15.760 Is that what you're saying? 0.98

00:56:17.280 I am not saying that.

00:56:19.080 I don't remember these.

00:56:21.460 As I said, I take thousands of photos.

00:56:23.760 I don't remember these.

00:56:24.720 Stop for a second.

00:56:25.540 Stop for a second.

00:56:26.440 I've taken thousands of photos myself. 0.99

00:56:31.460 I can unequivocally say I have never grabbed a woman's butt. 1.00

00:56:35.820 Well, you can't say it unequivocally. 0.98

00:56:37.980 Yes, I can. 0.97

00:56:38.320 What you're saying, just to be clear, what Glenn is saying is he can't specifically remember grabbing your butt. 0.98

00:56:44.980 Right. 0.96

00:56:45.880 No, I'm saying I can't remember grabbing anyone's butt. 0.90

00:56:48.960 Now you're opening yourself up to accusations. 0.99

00:56:50.260 Maybe my wife's butt. 1.00

00:56:51.980 Oh, now we find one. 1.00

00:56:54.640 Right.

00:56:54.880 How many wives have you had, Mr. Beck?

00:56:57.140 Oh, two.

00:56:58.640 Yeah.

00:56:58.800 So now we're up to two already.

00:57:01.000 First it was zero.

00:57:01.980 Then it was two.

00:57:04.120 Infinity inflation on these claims.

00:57:07.320 But I can pretty much say that.

00:57:09.940 How many butts have you grabbed in picture taking? 1.00

00:57:12.680 No more than 3,000. 0.99

00:57:14.240 Now, have you ever had your hand on a woman's butt? 1.00

00:57:21.320 I know. 0.99

00:57:23.120 This is what's so crazy about this.

00:57:25.260 Like, why would you?

00:57:27.440 You're taking a photo with someone.

00:57:30.060 Yeah.

00:57:30.260 The last thing.

00:57:31.040 It's actually on film.

00:57:32.760 Like, this is like the worst moment.

00:57:34.680 I will tell you that I have had pictures taken.

00:57:37.940 This is going to gross you out. 0.99

00:57:39.220 But I have had pictures taken where people were grabbing my butt. 0.99

00:57:43.740 Women, I think. 1.00

00:57:46.640 Well, I mean, look, first of all, we're not going to judge whether it's a woman or a man 0.99

00:57:50.360 who grabbed your butt. 0.98

00:57:51.180 There's no judgment there. 0.99

00:57:53.020 There's no judgment there.

00:57:54.020 But, I mean, you're pretty irresistible, I have to say.

00:57:55.880 Yeah, I mean, look at that.

00:57:56.640 There's a lot to grab.

00:58:01.100 Glenn Beck.

00:58:08.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:13.880 Welcome to the program.

00:58:15.960 So glad that you're here.

00:58:17.180 The nonsense in Washington with John Conyers and Al Franken is amazing to me.

00:58:31.620 Here's Al Franken yesterday talking about, you know, how he never really intentionally 0.97

00:58:37.780 grabbed anybody's butt. 0.94

00:58:39.520 He doesn't say that. 1.00

00:58:40.620 You're putting those words into his mouth.

00:58:42.540 He does not say he never intentionally did it.

00:58:45.060 Listen, here he is. 0.97

00:58:46.040 Are they mistaken that their butt was grabbed? 0.98

00:58:50.560 Is that what you're saying? 0.98

00:58:51.760 I am not saying that.

00:58:53.700 I don't remember these.

00:58:56.260 As I said, I take thousands of photos.

00:58:58.440 I don't remember these particular photos.

00:59:01.480 I think with all due respect, I think people are going to look at this and find it hard to 0.97

00:59:06.640 believe that someone such as yourself wouldn't know that they were grabbing somebody's butt. 0.95

00:59:12.740 But I can understand how people would feel that way. 0.99

00:59:16.960 But have you ever placed a hand on some woman's butt? 1.00

00:59:20.460 You know, I can't say. 0.99

00:59:22.160 Stop.

00:59:23.360 Okay.

00:59:24.180 That's different.

00:59:26.060 That's different.

00:59:27.100 There's a lot of subtle difference.

00:59:28.960 If you say, have you ever, could you ever recall?

00:59:32.540 Well, no.

00:59:33.180 But I mean, I have in pictures, I have, and I immediately remove it.

00:59:38.060 I was like, sorry.

00:59:39.100 You know, you do that.

00:59:40.780 Right. 0.99

00:59:41.180 So, you know, have you ever put your hand on somebody's butt? 0.99

00:59:44.740 I don't know. 0.99

00:59:45.620 Probably.

00:59:46.100 But there's a difference between that and intentionally going down for a handful.

00:59:52.760 Well, there's, yeah, right.

00:59:53.960 I think there is.

00:59:55.340 And he's trying to, I think he's trying to give the impression of what you said.

01:00:00.800 Yes.

01:00:00.960 I never intentionally did it.

01:00:02.040 Yes.

01:00:02.220 However, that's not what he said.

01:00:03.140 That isn't what he said.

01:00:04.040 You're right. 0.99

01:00:05.160 Have you ever placed a hand on some woman's butt? 1.00

01:00:08.600 You know, I can't say that that hasn't happened. 0.99

01:00:11.840 I take thousands and thousands of pictures.

01:00:16.180 We sometimes in crowded and chaotic situations.

01:00:20.340 I can't say I haven't done that.

01:00:23.540 I mean, he's not.

01:00:25.580 Not saying it.

01:00:26.700 Right.

01:00:27.060 He's, yeah, he's kind of just giving you, he's hoping that's what you're going to think.

01:00:30.260 But he's not actually saying it.

01:00:32.120 I mean, who knows?

01:00:33.360 It's tough to, he has a.

01:00:35.280 So do we even know, do we even know now what sexual harassment means?

01:00:41.840 I don't think so.

01:00:43.780 I will say I do not think so.

01:00:45.920 And there's some crazy, I don't know, I think there are crazy polls that kind of back this

01:00:50.440 situation up.

01:00:52.240 Think about, should we talk about millennials here for a moment?

01:00:54.760 Oh.

01:00:55.080 18 to 30 year olds.

01:00:56.000 What do they consider sexual harassment?

01:00:58.420 What is sexual harassment to someone between 18 and 30 today?

01:01:03.700 Okay, so the first question is, and this is how they frame it.

01:01:07.260 Would you consider it sexual harassment if a man who was not a romantic partner did the

01:01:11.860 following to a woman?

01:01:13.400 Okay.

01:01:14.340 The first one is asking to go out for a drink.

01:01:18.480 No, that's not sexual harassment.

01:01:20.800 Not sexual harassment, right?

01:01:21.140 I think, I don't know.

01:01:22.240 To me that seems completely clear that is not sexual harassment.

01:01:25.540 Correct.

01:01:25.740 25% of millennials believe a guy asking a woman out for a drink is sexual harassment.

01:01:34.640 That's insane.

01:01:35.760 Now, how, and again.

01:01:37.020 That's insane.

01:01:37.160 How are you going to ever.

01:01:38.300 Right.

01:01:38.820 Listen again, the wording.

01:01:40.360 Would you consider sexual harassment if a man who was not a romantic partner did the

01:01:43.900 following to a woman?

01:01:44.820 How would a man become a romantic partner without asking the woman out for a date? 1.00

01:01:50.440 Right.

01:01:50.640 Like, at some point they have to go on a first date.

01:01:53.240 How does this occur if it's sexual harassment?

01:01:56.860 Okay.

01:01:57.220 And it starts to escalate from here.

01:01:59.900 Commenting on attractiveness.

01:02:02.400 Okay.

01:02:02.800 Now, again, it doesn't say, this has nothing to do with in the work environment.

01:02:06.300 Does not talk about the work environment.

01:02:08.040 Does not say that it is your superior.

01:02:10.760 Right.

01:02:11.160 It's just a man who is not your partner.

01:02:14.620 It's not like, hey, beautiful.

01:02:17.100 Right.

01:02:17.500 Okay.

01:02:17.780 Is that sexual harassment?

01:02:19.680 Just saying you look beautiful.

01:02:21.040 Right.

01:02:21.800 Commenting on attractiveness.

01:02:23.460 About 40% of millennials believe that's sexual harassment.

01:02:27.340 Oh, my gosh.

01:02:28.160 Okay.

01:02:28.740 Oh, my gosh.

01:02:29.820 The next one, and this is, of course, it was a YouGov poll, but printed in The Economist.

01:02:33.620 They call it wolf whistling.

01:02:35.480 Which I guess is like, hey, sexy.

01:02:37.420 Yeah.

01:02:37.520 Like that sort of whistle.

01:02:39.640 So, millennials, men and women are a little different on this.

01:02:43.680 About half of men say it's sexual harassment.

01:02:45.920 And almost 70% of women say it's sexual.

01:02:49.480 I think that's, I think that's.

01:02:51.140 Whistling at a woman.

01:02:52.380 Yeah, I think that is.

01:02:54.020 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

01:02:55.400 Not a good practice?

01:02:56.260 No, it's not a good practice.

01:02:57.420 It's, you're probably right.

01:02:58.260 It's not sexual harassment, but it is.

01:03:00.860 I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's wolf whistling.

01:03:03.860 It's, it's, it's, yeah, it's like.

01:03:05.920 It's piggish.

01:03:06.560 It's piggish.

01:03:07.340 That's a great word for it. 0.77

01:03:08.420 It's piggish.

01:03:08.920 It's a great, yes, piggish. 0.93

01:03:10.200 I think it's fair. 0.85

01:03:10.940 Is it sexual harassment?

01:03:13.160 Is it the type of thing that gets you fired or derails your political career later on?

01:03:20.260 Or like, right?

01:03:20.820 If, if the accusation against Al Franken was he, he whistled at a woman in 1985.

01:03:27.380 Would anyone?

01:03:28.320 Would we?

01:03:28.620 Would.

01:03:28.820 Okay.

01:03:29.100 So probably not.

01:03:30.160 Right.

01:03:30.340 Okay.

01:03:30.620 So wait.

01:03:31.060 But, but if.

01:03:33.100 I mean, the only guys that are like, hey, hey, baby.

01:03:36.120 Woo hoo. 0.99

01:03:36.500 You know, that, I don't think that stops there.

01:03:42.100 Right.

01:03:42.400 But again, it stops there in the poll, right?

01:03:44.680 Yeah.

01:03:44.840 The poll says it's just whistling.

01:03:46.200 In fact, it doesn't even say, hey, baby.

01:03:47.620 It's just the whistling.

01:03:48.720 Yeah.

01:03:49.080 Just the whistling.

01:03:50.060 Okay.

01:03:50.380 75% of women, 50% of men, millennials that say, say that's sexual harassment.

01:03:54.580 If you were alone on the street, if it was my daughter and she was walking on the street

01:03:58.700 and she was whistled at, I would imagine that she would feel uncomfortable and unsafe

01:04:07.860 if it's a bunch of construction guys and she's alone.

01:04:12.080 And I think that that's, that's the, that's a line that's changing, right?

01:04:15.440 In that there used to be, I think in every movie, there was that joke where the construction,

01:04:21.580 you know, construction workers would be sitting there. 0.65

01:04:23.320 Diet Coke.

01:04:24.480 Right.

01:04:24.660 Yeah.

01:04:24.800 Yeah.

01:04:24.980 Yeah.

01:04:25.260 I mean, it was a very common thing.

01:04:28.080 It still is if it's reversed.

01:04:30.600 Yeah.

01:04:30.980 If it's a woman watching a construction worker, it's still okay. 1.00

01:04:34.760 Oh yeah.

01:04:35.300 We were, we were in the, Glenn and I were watching a video for something that you're

01:04:39.200 doing in the next couple of months for one of the networks.

01:04:42.400 And they were showing us an example of their previous year's year in review show.

01:04:48.200 And they showed a clip of the Olympics where I don't remember.

01:04:51.680 I hate the Olympics at this point, but I, so I didn't watch it, but they're showing

01:04:54.280 the opening ceremonies.

01:04:55.300 And apparently the guy from Tonga or something walked out shirtless and was like really hot.

01:04:59.780 Really.

01:05:00.420 And all of these women on the show on network television were salivating over this guy. 0.99

01:05:04.840 Like he was a piece of meat.

01:05:06.080 Yeah.

01:05:06.520 Right.

01:05:06.800 Oh, what I would do to that guy.

01:05:08.900 Like it was absolutely way worse.

01:05:10.760 Network television.

01:05:11.520 Whistling.

01:05:12.140 Yeah.

01:05:12.940 Network television.

01:05:13.860 It was, this is, these are the pic, again, it wasn't live.

01:05:17.340 These are the, the, the clips of the commentators.

01:05:19.960 The network chose to air, right?

01:05:23.160 Was just a bunch of women gawking at this guy. 0.99

01:05:26.580 That has been, that is part of, it is absolutely part of, of our society.

01:05:31.160 Sexual attraction is a big thing.

01:05:32.620 Right.

01:05:33.440 And it has happened for a long time.

01:05:35.420 This, this idea, there's, I always, to me, I think over history, there's been a line between 0.94

01:05:41.060 what people would consider sexual harassment and what is just like, oh, what a dirt bag.

01:05:45.640 Or I shouldn't do that.

01:05:47.500 Oh, you know, that, that's frowned upon.

01:05:49.660 Right now, all of that, I think as being, I mean, asking for a drink, I didn't even think

01:05:54.260 it was in that category, you know, but this is apparently now all sexual harassment.

01:06:00.020 And, okay, so hang on just a second, think of this.

01:06:02.980 Now, I, I read three novels last week, so I'm kind of in this, you know, crazy conspiratorial

01:06:10.200 world.

01:06:11.400 Um, uh, but just think of this.

01:06:17.060 If you believe that humans do so much damage to the planet and, uh, you know, the best thing

01:06:24.740 we can do is not have children and, you know, the best way to really, to, to take care of

01:06:31.760 all this is to really genetically enhance everybody.

01:06:35.780 We'll just, we'll just make the children in a test tube and implant it in you. 0.99

01:06:40.260 This is, this is the perfect scenario to get us all there because if you have a virtual 0.99

01:06:47.400 sex machine, why would you want to go through it any other way?

01:06:53.700 You know what I mean? 0.97

01:06:54.640 Everybody can just, you want to save sex?

01:06:56.940 There it is in, in the virtual world.

01:06:59.560 It's completely safe, completely safe.

01:07:01.680 You don't have a, you won't have the, no one will claim sexual harassment.

01:07:05.780 Although with your AI predictions, maybe they will.

01:07:09.000 I'm telling you, they will probably like 2015. 0.62

01:07:11.720 They'll start screaming rape. 1.00

01:07:13.620 Westworld, right?

01:07:14.340 I mean, that's, that's kind of what, uh, it will happen in the documentary Westworld.

01:07:18.140 Um, by the way, you should consider before you go on a vacation there with your family,

01:07:21.160 by the way, you should really watch that because that is not a family safe playground.

01:07:24.500 It's not a real place.

01:07:25.560 So, so, so far we're at very, uh, we're going to cross lines now.

01:07:30.640 We're going to start getting into a little bit more aggressive behavior.

01:07:33.660 Looking at breasts is looking at breasts. 1.00

01:07:36.960 Um, if a man looks at breasts of a woman who is not his romantic partner, is that sexual harassment?

01:07:41.360 Well, wait, can you give me an example?

01:07:46.420 I can't look, I don't want to look at your breasts if you're asking, if that's what you're asking. 0.99

01:07:49.320 I mean, give me an example.

01:07:52.160 I mean, there, and that's the thing with, there are lines on, I think all of these things where they are harassment.

01:07:57.120 We're even asking, looking, asking for a drink.

01:07:58.760 If you ask the same person for a drink over and over and over and over and over again, or you ask it, there's probably a way you can ask for a drink that winds up being sexual harassment.

01:08:08.640 But, but, but also, I mean, if you don't want somebody to, and I'm not saying ogle you, I'm not saying ogle you, I'm saying, but notice, notice the package there.

01:08:21.380 Then, you know, if you're wearing.

01:08:23.840 You sound like Al Franken.

01:08:24.760 I know, if you're wearing something that is very revealing, it is natural for your eyes to be drawn there.

01:08:34.320 Your, your whole outfit is literally designed to make your eyes go there.

01:08:40.560 I mean, fashion, right, is, is.

01:08:42.900 That's what I'm talking about.

01:08:43.480 Sometimes, uh, designed to, uh, show off one's attractiveness, right?

01:08:48.380 Um, so that's not.

01:08:49.400 And there's, so there's, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:08:50.960 Now, ogling is different, but if you walk in and you're in a low cut dress and, you know, somebody like looks down like, oh, hello.

01:08:59.520 Okay.

01:09:00.180 Um, right.

01:09:00.880 And then moves on.

01:09:02.040 That's natural and normal.

01:09:04.220 And again, there's lines on all of these things.

01:09:05.600 There's, there's, yes, the fact that I know that the, the, the female cashier at 7-Eleven has breasts indicates that I looked at them at some point.

01:09:15.440 Yes.

01:09:15.760 Right.

01:09:15.880 Like you had, how else would I know?

01:09:17.360 I mean, I guess I'm just guessing other than that.

01:09:19.440 Right.

01:09:19.740 So, but that is different than ogling, right?

01:09:22.740 So there's, there is a, there's a, there's a huge line.

01:09:24.720 Okay.

01:09:25.280 Next, placing a hand on, on, on, on lower back.

01:09:30.200 Placing a hand on the lower back.

01:09:33.100 Now, the breast was about 50, 50. 0.96

01:09:35.600 On whether that was sexual harassment.

01:09:37.300 50, 50 for millennials.

01:09:38.840 Placing a hand on lower back.

01:09:41.480 Again, is that sexual harassment?

01:09:43.360 Now, is there a way you could do that, that it is sexual harassment?

01:09:46.260 Yes.

01:09:46.560 And again, and again, it's, it depends.

01:09:48.680 I mean, I don't know.

01:09:50.980 It just depends.

01:09:52.040 What's those.

01:09:52.620 Think of your photos, right?

01:09:53.440 I mean, you take thousands of photos.

01:09:54.760 Your hand on lower back is pretty common in a celebrity photo.

01:09:59.520 Because where else are you going to, you know, unless you're just sticking it out straight like a scarecrow.

01:10:03.240 So, I, I gotta believe millennials are saying that that is absolutely a sexual harassment.

01:10:07.100 Yeah, it's over 50% say that's sexual harassment.

01:10:09.300 Wow.

01:10:09.540 Now, making sexual jokes, making sexual jokes is that sexual harassment.

01:10:16.540 For millennials, they say about 75% say making sexual jokes.

01:10:21.660 Now, look, again, there's a line there, right?

01:10:24.060 But there are, I mean, I've worked with many women who've made lots of sexual jokes. 1.00

01:10:28.140 That is a very, you know, like, that is a somewhat common thing when you're around friends that you make jokes that sometimes are a little, a little blue, perhaps.

01:10:37.580 I've heard many of them over my lifetime.

01:10:40.080 And so, that, in a work environment.

01:10:42.820 But again, this isn't specific to a work environment.

01:10:46.040 This is just if you're at a bar, right?

01:10:48.640 And you get a joke that crosses some line for you.

01:10:52.680 Is it sexual harassment?

01:10:53.600 And it's amazing that this is coming from the culture that uses Tinder and all of these things.

01:11:00.140 It's such a strange line.

01:11:02.000 One of the most interesting parts of the study, though, I think, because the last one is requesting a sexual favor in which about 80% of millennials say is sexual harassment.

01:11:12.160 And every other one, every other thing I've told you about, there is a decline.

01:11:16.440 Younger people think it is more likely to be sexual harassment if you're younger than when you're older.

01:11:22.400 So, for example, a wolf whistling, 75% of women today, millennials, say it's sexual harassment. 1.00

01:11:29.440 But only about 25% of people around 60 years old say that's sexual harassment.

01:11:33.400 The only one where that's reversed is requesting a sexual favor.

01:11:37.720 Older people think that is definitely sexual harassment. 0.68

01:11:40.560 Younger people, while it's still about 75%, it's less.

01:11:44.480 It's lower.

01:11:45.340 Friends with benefits.

01:11:46.300 Friends with benefits, right?

01:11:47.880 So, it's a really interesting cultural study.

01:11:50.060 The actual sexual request of a sexual favor is less likely to be sexual harassment to millennials than older people.

01:12:03.300 It's almost like the world is upside down.

01:12:10.640 Okay, here's a holiday special for you.

01:12:12.540 Liberty Safe is giving you a rebate with savings up to $500 off their top-of-the-line safes.

01:12:19.800 I was in, I can't remember the name of the store now, and they were selling safes.

01:12:25.620 And I think we were going to get some ammunition.

01:12:28.940 And I was walking through, and they had a couple of Liberties, and then they had a few others that were not Liberty Safes.

01:12:35.700 And I just stopped and looked at them, and they are just, there is nothing that compares to a Liberty Safe.

01:12:40.780 Just nothing.

01:12:42.120 You can save hundreds throughout the entire month of December on Liberty's Franklins, the Fat Boys, the Lincolns, the Classic, the Nationals, the Presidentials.

01:13:55.620 Glenn Beck.

01:13:56.900 We made an announcement earlier today, the Nazarene Fund 2.0.

01:14:02.680 We have made a goal of rescuing slaves, anybody in distress or slave, the Christian, Yazidi, religious minorities in the Middle East and around the world,

01:14:21.680 doing a rescue mission every other day in the year of 2018, but we really need your help, and you can donate.

01:14:32.240 Five bucks makes all the difference in the world.

01:14:34.680 You can donate now at TheNazareneFund.org.

01:14:38.660 We have partnered with Operation Underground Railroad to be able to take this to the next level.

01:14:45.880 We're going global, and in the Middle East, we want to do all we can in the Middle East and then move to Northern Africa as well, and we need your help.

01:14:57.680 A goal of $25 million, TheNazareneFund.org, TheNazareneFund.org.

01:15:07.360 Glenn Beck.

01:15:14.820 Love.

01:15:16.360 Courage.

01:15:17.880 Truth.

01:15:19.120 Glenn Beck.

01:15:19.860 There's a good chance you're a bad parent, and I know it because, well,

01:15:23.880 did you insist that your daughter hug her grandma or grandpa when they came over for Thanksgiving dinner?

01:15:31.320 Bad parent.

01:15:33.440 Did you know that you are teaching your daughter that she owes people physical affection,

01:15:39.420 and she's going to grow up thinking that she owes everyone something, a hug, or maybe even more?

01:15:46.360 First, she's hugging grandma, then she's on the street selling herself for cash. 0.93

01:15:52.940 Now, that could happen.

01:15:57.240 This is the advice from the leaders of the Girl Scouts.

01:16:00.840 They wrote a post over the weekend titled,

01:16:03.440 Reminder, she doesn't owe anyone a hug, not even at the holidays.

01:16:08.300 Anyways, they continue,

01:16:10.060 Have you ever insisted,

01:16:11.900 Uncle just got here, go give him a big hug,

01:16:13.820 or Auntie gave you that nice toy, go give her a kiss? 0.99

01:16:18.140 When you were worried that your child, you know,

01:16:22.840 might not offer the affection on her own,

01:16:26.880 did you ever say those words?

01:16:28.960 If yes, you might want to reconsider the urge to do that in the future.

01:16:33.580 Think of it this way, according to the Girl Scouts.

01:16:36.000 Telling your child that she owes someone a hug,

01:16:39.280 either just because she hasn't seen this person in a while,

01:16:42.100 or because they gave her a gift,

01:16:43.840 can set the stage for her questioning whether she owes another person

01:16:47.920 any type of physical affection when they've brought her dinner,

01:16:52.960 or done something else seemingly nice for her later in life, end quote.

01:16:58.800 In light of the Hollywood sexual harassment claims,

01:17:03.320 Girl Scouts are trying to get you to start a conversation about consent with your children. 0.97

01:17:10.920 Now, it's up to you whether you take that ridiculous advice or not. 0.90

01:17:14.220 Every family dynamic is different. 0.86

01:17:17.460 And as a parent, it's up to you to decide

01:17:19.520 whether little Tina,

01:17:21.820 or may I say,

01:17:23.560 little Jeffrey,

01:17:25.300 what?

01:17:26.260 What?

01:17:26.500 Can we teach that to our boys?

01:17:30.040 Go give your uncle or your aunt a kiss.

01:17:32.220 Can we teach that to our boys?

01:17:33.380 Or is it just that women and girls can't be taught? 1.00

01:17:37.000 Are they being rude to Uncle Tommy by not saying hello and hugging him?

01:17:43.040 Or your child is uncomfortable for some reason?

01:17:46.440 Maybe there's something else that maybe we should talk about?

01:17:48.780 If you choose to take the Girl Scouts' advice,

01:17:52.040 consider the other side.

01:17:54.260 You're making hugging family members and close friends a taboo act

01:17:59.180 and creating fake hysteria about your child's affection with loved ones.

01:18:04.960 I have my own advice for the Girl Scouts.

01:18:08.860 And it's this.

01:18:10.140 Let the parents decide

01:18:11.460 and stick to what you do best.

01:18:14.520 And by that I mean,

01:18:15.640 look at me.

01:18:16.500 What do you think I mean?

01:18:17.460 Make Cookies.

01:18:26.840 Yep.

01:18:27.620 Isn't that ironic?

01:18:28.800 Isn't that ironic?

01:18:29.520 Unbelievable.

01:18:30.400 It's Monday, November 27th.

01:18:32.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:34.560 Isn't it ironic that the Girl Scouts are teaching

01:18:37.460 that girls make good cookies? 1.00

01:18:40.040 Yeah.

01:18:40.680 Are they saying their whole life

01:18:42.300 they're being taught the lesson

01:18:44.220 that the only thing they can do with value

01:18:46.000 is sell cookies door-to-door?

01:18:48.340 And what do cookies mean exactly, Girl Scouts?

01:18:51.780 Now, as a family who, you know,

01:18:54.500 I grew up in a family of abuse.

01:18:57.500 And, you know, there's something if, you know,

01:19:01.140 oh, no, I don't want to give Grandpa a hug.

01:19:04.020 Okay.

01:19:04.240 There might be something going on there.

01:19:06.060 Okay.

01:19:06.720 Yeah.

01:19:06.960 I mean, you know, I think kids generally,

01:19:10.440 I mean, again, another standard Hollywood,

01:19:12.680 you know, movie, Christmas movie tradition

01:19:15.440 where the kid comes to see the family

01:19:17.740 and the family, you know,

01:19:18.860 the family member,

01:19:19.400 grandma wants to give him a big kiss

01:19:20.500 and they don't want to do it

01:19:21.340 because they're a little boy or a little girl

01:19:23.300 and they don't, you know,

01:19:24.120 they don't want to be hugged by grandma.

01:19:26.580 Always pinches my cheeks.

01:19:28.580 Exactly.

01:19:29.500 Standard fare, right?

01:19:30.980 So there is, of course,

01:19:32.020 some sort of resistance at some point, maybe.

01:19:34.360 If you notice it's really affecting them,

01:19:37.080 you may want to ask a couple questions.

01:19:39.240 If it's really intense,

01:19:41.620 I think you pick that up as a parent probably.

01:19:43.160 Can you imagine as a parent,

01:19:44.340 you're sitting around the Christmas tree

01:19:46.100 and they get a present.

01:19:48.180 Can you imagine not saying,

01:19:50.280 did you thank your aunt?

01:19:53.360 Did you thank your uncle?

01:19:54.260 Go give them a hug.

01:19:55.980 Can you imagine not saying that?

01:19:58.460 I mean, I think it's pretty standard.

01:20:01.820 I guess the Girl Scouts are saying

01:20:03.600 it shouldn't be standard

01:20:04.600 because your toddler's going to turn into a prostatologist.

01:20:07.720 All I want to hear from the Girl Scouts,

01:20:11.480 your thin mints have arrived.

01:20:13.620 That's all I want to hear.

01:20:15.140 Well, I would say Samoas, 1.00

01:20:16.360 but we now know that that, of course,

01:20:18.060 is culturally appropriative.

01:20:20.060 Yeah.

01:20:21.220 Have they stopped that?

01:20:22.660 I think they still do it in some places.

01:20:25.740 Aren't Samoas two different things?

01:20:28.880 The Cookies, I mean.

01:20:31.560 I don't even know how to talk about anything anymore.

01:20:35.020 Because I think they did,

01:20:36.260 there is an,

01:20:36.980 I don't know if it was actually because it was offensive.

01:20:40.340 They, okay,

01:20:41.960 Samoas are Caramel Delights.

01:20:45.680 Mm-hmm.

01:20:46.600 Uh, yeah, look,

01:20:49.240 they changed the name of a lot of them.

01:20:50.380 Do-Si-Dos are now Peanut Butter Sandwich. 1.00

01:20:53.000 And what happened to the fun names?

01:20:54.460 Tagalongs are now Peanut Butter Patties.

01:20:57.520 Thin Mints remain Thin Mints

01:20:59.500 because they're the best.

01:21:01.440 They're not thin.

01:21:02.740 What are they?

01:21:03.820 Trefoils?

01:21:04.860 I have no idea.

01:21:05.760 Shortbread now?

01:21:07.780 Um,

01:21:08.280 I don't know.

01:21:08.880 I mean,

01:21:09.060 to me.

01:21:09.500 Those names don't mean anything to me

01:21:11.220 other than Thin Mints.

01:21:12.420 What happened to the Samoans?

01:21:13.760 The Samoans,

01:21:14.480 I had heard that there was an issue

01:21:16.520 that,

01:21:16.900 that was culturally appropriative.

01:21:19.420 So they were going to call them like,

01:21:20.640 coconut caramel thingies.

01:21:22.600 Or whatever.

01:21:24.100 They had to go with some really innovative name

01:21:25.840 that described what they were.

01:21:27.620 Coconut caramel thingies.

01:21:29.420 Have a box of those,

01:21:30.580 please.

01:21:31.980 Yeah,

01:21:32.520 because there's,

01:21:33.220 there's something,

01:21:33.960 it might be something to do with licensing,

01:21:35.300 but they were talking about it as another one of those issues.

01:21:37.760 I don't know if you're allowed to say Samoans.

01:21:39.080 We're a little off topic here.

01:21:40.160 I'm just now thinking and dreaming of Samoa cookies

01:21:42.520 because they're so delicious.

01:21:44.480 Wouldn't it be Samoans anyway?

01:21:47.060 I mean.

01:21:47.460 Right.

01:21:48.180 If it was,

01:21:48.720 yes,

01:21:49.000 if it was,

01:21:50.160 they were Samoans.

01:21:51.260 Is it the Samoa Islands

01:21:53.080 or the Samoan Islands?

01:21:55.440 I don't,

01:21:56.260 why,

01:21:56.760 now we're really off topic.

01:21:58.020 Well, 0.98

01:21:58.240 we're talking about children turning into prostitutes 0.98

01:22:01.040 for hugging their uncles. 0.95

01:22:02.160 Why are we going to cookies?

01:22:03.320 I don't know.

01:22:04.040 I don't know.

01:22:04.900 I don't know how we got there.

01:22:06.500 And I don't know how we got to this place

01:22:10.140 in our,

01:22:11.280 in our,

01:22:11.760 in our country.

01:22:12.600 I mean,

01:22:14.960 listen,

01:22:15.380 listen to Nancy Pelosi.

01:22:16.960 This is yesterday.

01:22:18.700 Nancy Pelosi having to stand up for John Conyer.

01:22:24.780 You said there's now a zero tolerance.

01:22:26.700 John Conyers.

01:22:27.560 What does that mean for him right now?

01:22:29.060 Let's say we are strengthened by due process.

01:22:33.220 Just because someone is accused.

01:22:36.620 And was it one accusation?

01:22:38.580 Is it two?

01:22:39.260 I think there has to be.

01:22:40.260 John Conyers is an icon in our country.

01:22:42.860 He's done a great deal to protect women.

01:22:45.580 Violence against women act,

01:22:46.840 which the left wing,

01:22:48.000 right wing is now quoting me as praising him for his work on that.

01:22:51.200 And he did great work on that.

01:22:52.340 But the fact is,

01:22:54.160 as John reviews his case,

01:22:56.660 which he knows,

01:22:57.680 which I don't,

01:22:58.800 I believe he will do.

01:22:59.900 I believe that he will.

01:23:01.200 How is it that you don't.

01:23:01.600 Excuse me,

01:23:02.000 may I finish my sentence?

01:23:03.280 That he will do the right thing.

01:23:05.280 And is the right thing what?

01:23:06.760 Resign?

01:23:07.220 He will do the right thing in terms of what he knows about his situation.

01:23:11.760 What does that even mean?

01:23:13.640 Apparently it means that he's going to step down from.

01:23:16.100 What was it?

01:23:16.400 The judiciary.

01:23:17.360 Yeah,

01:23:17.560 yeah,

01:23:17.700 yeah.

01:23:17.940 Yeah.

01:23:18.320 But he's,

01:23:19.740 he's planning on stepping right back in.

01:23:21.640 They're just waiting for this to blow over.

01:23:23.240 Temporary.

01:23:23.620 Right.

01:23:24.280 I mean,

01:23:24.520 this is insane.

01:23:25.900 I'm like,

01:23:26.560 look,

01:23:26.820 I think,

01:23:27.620 I think actually,

01:23:29.160 let me rephrase this.

01:23:30.780 I think Nancy Pelosi has said one of the first same things I've ever heard her say.

01:23:38.080 Really?

01:23:38.820 Due process.

01:23:40.080 Due process is important.

01:23:41.700 It just doesn't apply to people she doesn't like.

01:23:43.820 Right.

01:23:44.140 It doesn't apply to anyone except these two.

01:23:46.620 And it's not even due process that she wants.

01:23:48.320 She wants an excuse for people that she likes. 0.99

01:23:50.180 Yes.

01:23:50.360 It's an icon.

01:23:51.060 Yes.

01:23:51.200 He's an icon in this world.

01:23:53.100 He's done a lot.

01:23:53.660 He's done a lot.

01:23:54.300 If he's done a lot,

01:23:55.240 Harvey Weinstein had done a lot for the cause.

01:23:58.620 Al Franken.

01:23:59.680 He's done a lot.

01:24:00.180 Al Franken's done a lot for women.

01:24:01.460 A bunch of women came out and wrote a statement saying, 0.98

01:24:03.900 hey,

01:24:04.120 Al,

01:24:05.040 Al did a lot.

01:24:05.880 He's done a lot for women and we like him.

01:24:08.040 So therefore,

01:24:09.080 I guess whatever he's done should go away.

01:24:12.040 You know,

01:24:12.580 again,

01:24:12.900 like I,

01:24:13.280 I think it's completely defensible position to say,

01:24:16.260 if you're John Conyers,

01:24:17.960 I didn't do these things.

01:24:19.220 Should John Conyers step down?

01:24:20.900 You know,

01:24:21.100 like I think most conservatives would say,

01:24:22.520 absolutely. 0.97

01:24:22.880 He should step down because he's a terrible human being.

01:24:26.460 He's apparently settled these things.

01:24:27.880 And I think he's a,

01:24:28.480 like he's had a lot of problems,

01:24:29.600 a lot of corruption problems.

01:24:30.480 And my guess is,

01:24:31.960 again,

01:24:32.380 my guess probably is guilty of these things.

01:24:35.380 However,

01:24:35.840 if he's saying he didn't do them,

01:24:38.320 why should he step down?

01:24:40.620 If you can show that he's,

01:24:42.080 that he's done them,

01:24:43.440 well then he can,

01:24:44.380 maybe you can make a case.

01:24:45.340 But that's not,

01:24:46.140 that's not acceptable anywhere else.

01:24:49.340 What,

01:24:49.640 but what,

01:24:50.120 the question is,

01:24:51.400 do we change?

01:24:52.120 Cause I don't think it's acceptable anywhere for someone to be accused of

01:24:54.640 something and have to step down from their job.

01:24:55.980 I don't think that's right.

01:24:57.060 I agree.

01:24:57.620 I don't think it's right.

01:24:58.580 If you have some,

01:24:59.720 just because there's been an accusation.

01:25:01.600 And again,

01:25:01.920 there's a lot more on Al Franken,

01:25:05.160 including a photo.

01:25:06.140 There's a lot more on,

01:25:07.840 John Conyers who settled a case.

01:25:12.300 Roy Moore hasn't done either of those two things.

01:25:14.080 Yeah.

01:25:14.320 Right.

01:25:14.560 Like it's only accusations from people who,

01:25:17.220 and we have no actual additional evidence other than their word,

01:25:20.620 which is,

01:25:21.720 there is a decent amount of that.

01:25:23.580 And a lot of it's convincing,

01:25:24.640 but still it's not as much as Conyers.

01:25:26.500 If he's settled the cases,

01:25:27.380 it's not as much as,

01:25:28.540 uh,

01:25:29.080 um,

01:25:30.080 uh,

01:25:30.660 Franken,

01:25:31.320 um,

01:25:31.780 who's basically admitted that he's done this.

01:25:34.460 Uh,

01:25:34.800 but again,

01:25:36.300 number one,

01:25:37.160 these settlements are a lot of times for a reason.

01:25:41.020 Does it necessarily mean that he did this?

01:25:43.560 Absolutely not.

01:25:44.660 Settlements happen all the time where you're not,

01:25:46.260 you're not admitting guilt.

01:25:47.800 That happens all the time.

01:25:49.080 In fact,

01:25:49.820 there's a,

01:25:50.360 there's a story in the New York times about this.

01:25:51.820 And what they're trying to do now is make all these things public.

01:25:54.520 Understandable from a,

01:25:55.260 from a,

01:25:55.680 uh,

01:25:55.980 a taxpayer perspective.

01:25:57.060 We paid for all of them.

01:25:58.120 You know,

01:25:58.280 like we paid for these settlements and these guys are out there doing whatever they're

01:26:02.680 doing in Washington and we're,

01:26:04.340 they're taking our cash and they're paying off these women to remain silent.

01:26:07.460 So we never hear about it.

01:26:09.680 Totally understandable reaction for the taxpayers.

01:26:12.880 Once we find out about this to demand that information.

01:26:15.980 However,

01:26:16.420 on the other side,

01:26:17.500 they have a quote in the New York times story from Deborah Katz,

01:26:20.160 the lawyer who represents the victims of sexual harassment.

01:26:23.020 And she says for a number of my clients,

01:26:25.100 that's the last thing in the world they would want.

01:26:27.260 And they could have a life,

01:26:28.520 a life altering consequences.

01:26:29.960 They settled their cases to be able to move on with their lives while protecting their privacy.

01:26:35.120 The reason why you want to become Monica Lewinsky, 1.00

01:26:37.660 right?

01:26:38.700 The reason why these settlements exist is because they don't,

01:26:40.920 if they wanted it to be public,

01:26:42.180 they would have accused them publicly.

01:26:44.060 They settled with them because they believed at the time that was the best thing for them.

01:26:48.920 And now you're going to take that power away from these women. 1.00

01:26:51.940 And you're going to try to expose all these people.

01:26:54.400 Now,

01:26:54.560 I guess you could try to thread the needle there and say,

01:26:56.800 okay,

01:26:57.000 here's the names of the people in Congress who were accused and paid settlements,

01:27:00.080 but we're not going to tell you the other side of it.

01:27:02.400 But you know,

01:27:02.840 the internet,

01:27:03.600 you know,

01:27:03.900 journalists for all of the Republicans that were accused,

01:27:06.640 they're going to go find all of the people who are,

01:27:08.500 you know,

01:27:09.160 all of the accusers for the Republicans,

01:27:10.800 for sure.

01:27:11.160 The journalists will take care of that one.

01:27:12.440 And,

01:27:12.840 and the alt-right will probably dox every,

01:27:15.920 you know,

01:27:16.620 and figure out every woman who accused a Democrat.

01:27:19.940 And we'll have these people who,

01:27:21.460 who,

01:27:21.800 who intentionally went through a traumatic experience and settled because they thought it was best for their lives are going to have their lives dragged through this again.

01:27:29.440 And it's not something that they want.

01:27:31.180 Well,

01:27:31.600 it's also,

01:27:32.180 I mean,

01:27:32.820 you're looking at it from the victim's point of view,

01:27:35.020 but what if the victim is,

01:27:37.800 I mean,

01:27:38.120 I've settled a case,

01:27:39.740 you know,

01:27:40.300 I settled a case that I,

01:27:43.000 I am absolutely,

01:27:44.400 I'm absolutely right on.

01:27:45.940 It's not a sexually harassed.

01:27:47.060 No,

01:27:47.240 not a sexual harassment case.

01:27:48.460 Yeah.

01:27:48.560 No,

01:27:48.720 no,

01:27:48.840 no.

01:27:49.060 One of them was a freedom of speech case.

01:27:51.380 Yeah.

01:27:51.680 I,

01:27:51.940 I,

01:27:52.600 I,

01:27:53.000 I'm clear as to where that should be.

01:27:56.540 We settled the case.

01:27:58.500 Now,

01:27:58.900 it doesn't mean that you're guilty.

01:27:59.980 No,

01:28:00.180 it doesn't.

01:28:00.520 In fact,

01:28:00.900 on that one,

01:28:01.800 we wrote in that we have the right to talk about and release all the transcripts and everything else.

01:28:07.460 So we could,

01:28:08.720 because I didn't want it to look like,

01:28:10.700 you know,

01:28:11.060 I was trying to cover something up.

01:28:12.960 However,

01:28:13.660 if you are settling a case where you're like,

01:28:16.560 this did not happen.

01:28:18.380 Yeah.

01:28:18.520 This did not happen,

01:28:20.200 but they got you because the press and everything else just settle the case,

01:28:25.520 make it go away.

01:28:27.540 You,

01:28:27.920 wait a minute.

01:28:28.860 If you're the victim and you settled the case,

01:28:32.180 uh,

01:28:33.320 you don't get any protection either.

01:28:35.140 That was part of the,

01:28:36.300 that was part of the deal.

01:28:37.280 The victim on either side sometimes doesn't want this to be exposed.

01:28:48.520 Casper has outdone themselves again.

01:28:59.080 Tanya and I were one of the first to have the new wave mattress from Casper.

01:29:02.520 And I absolutely love it.

01:29:04.280 They have collected three years of data,

01:29:06.560 feedback,

01:29:07.320 foam research,

01:29:08.420 and a sleep science,

01:29:09.660 and they've created the wave.

01:29:12.520 It features a patent pending support system that mirrors your body's natural curvature for a deeper

01:29:18.420 more restorative sleep.

01:29:20.120 Casper,

01:29:20.820 the new wave mattress is a top layer.

01:29:23.140 That's incredibly soft,

01:29:24.220 but doesn't get in a way of experiencing the support.

01:29:26.480 That's just below the surface.

01:29:27.960 And it is designed just like the original,

01:29:30.160 uh,

01:29:30.840 out of breathable foam.

01:29:32.380 So you sleep cool year round.

01:29:34.360 The Casper wave mattress,

01:29:36.700 a complete breakthrough in sleep from the leading designers and engineers in the field.

01:29:41.700 It's why it's in high demand.

01:30:05.580 Glenn Beck.

01:30:06.740 Glenn Beck.

01:30:18.360 The latest on,

01:30:19.800 uh,

01:30:20.180 Donald Trump and the Russian scandal,

01:30:22.180 um,

01:30:23.280 is,

01:30:24.440 uh,

01:30:24.840 that Flynn is,

01:30:26.540 is cut off all conversations between him and the Trump attorneys,

01:30:30.060 which seems to indicate he's made a deal with the prosecution.

01:30:33.900 And,

01:30:35.260 uh,

01:30:36.400 apparently the deal is,

01:30:38.620 um,

01:30:39.740 that he'd have immunity.

01:30:40.900 If he offered something of significance that would lead to,

01:30:46.800 uh,

01:30:47.500 charges being filed.

01:30:50.040 So it,

01:30:50.860 it has to be somebody bigger than Flynn.

01:30:53.240 And that would be who?

01:30:55.020 Yeah.

01:30:55.140 Very few people,

01:30:55.920 right.

01:30:56.140 He was one of the biggest guys there.

01:30:57.900 Uh,

01:30:58.380 they were talking about the,

01:30:59.160 one of the ways they supposedly are getting him to turn is they're looking at

01:31:02.740 charges at a son on a son.

01:31:04.980 So he was pretty loyal to Trump,

01:31:07.220 but when now they're going after Michael Flynn jr,

01:31:09.580 who,

01:31:10.040 if you remember is one of the guys that really has,

01:31:12.380 he's been in trouble a lot for his tweeting of various conspiracy theories

01:31:16.540 and things like that.

01:31:17.420 Uh,

01:31:17.960 that's,

01:31:18.280 but he,

01:31:18.860 whatever they have,

01:31:19.740 they think they have on him,

01:31:21.180 they might go after him,

01:31:22.680 which,

01:31:23.500 you know,

01:31:23.840 so daddy is saying,

01:31:24.980 okay,

01:31:25.200 well,

01:31:25.460 let me give you what I have.

01:31:26.820 And now he's not,

01:31:27.700 uh,

01:31:28.400 uh,

01:31:28.700 working on,

01:31:29.700 um,

01:31:30.160 along with,

01:31:30.840 with the Trump lawyers anymore.

01:31:32.100 That being said,

01:31:32.880 this is all still at a speculative stage.

01:31:35.020 We don't know that he's doing that.

01:31:36.800 It's just what people believe.

01:31:37.540 Well,

01:31:37.560 I stopped reading a book.

01:31:38.860 I read,

01:31:39.540 uh,

01:31:40.060 I read,

01:31:40.960 have you ever heard of the author,

01:31:42.280 uh,

01:31:42.880 A.G.

01:31:43.380 Riddle?

01:31:45.380 Hmm.

01:31:46.900 No.

01:31:47.480 So I read,

01:31:48.220 uh,

01:31:48.480 I read,

01:31:49.080 um,

01:31:50.380 a series of books.

01:31:51.580 I read his book,

01:31:52.780 pandemic and then genome.

01:31:55.460 And,

01:31:55.980 uh,

01:31:56.220 novels.

01:31:56.760 Yeah.

01:31:57.120 And then the Atlantis gene.

01:31:59.320 I wrote,

01:31:59.980 I just,

01:32:00.760 I fell in love with his premise and it's kind of technology and evolution.

01:32:06.120 Yeah.

01:32:06.220 What you really need is some dark technology stuff because you just don't go down that road naturally.

01:32:10.640 Naturally.

01:32:11.040 So you need a little push.

01:32:12.520 He played it.

01:32:12.940 Yeah.

01:32:13.100 No,

01:32:13.400 he was pushing all my buttons.

01:32:14.720 I mean,

01:32:14.920 I was,

01:32:15.380 I was awake till three o'clock in the morning.

01:32:17.120 I mean,

01:32:17.360 I read three novels in a week.

01:32:19.720 Uh,

01:32:20.000 but I also read about half of the book collusion by Luke Harding.

01:32:24.660 Um,

01:32:25.220 and I stopped cause I thought I need Stu to read this because I need you to really,

01:32:30.980 I want to get your perspective before I go down this road,

01:32:34.520 because this was written,

01:32:35.880 uh,

01:32:36.640 this was written by a guy,

01:32:37.780 um,

01:32:39.040 who was,

01:32:40.120 I think he was the Asian and Russian desk at,

01:32:43.480 uh,

01:32:43.960 the guardian,

01:32:44.980 um,

01:32:46.420 and has some really credible sources and he's put a new spin on,

01:32:51.300 uh,

01:32:52.840 on the whole,

01:32:53.920 um,

01:32:55.120 Russian interference and the role that,

01:32:58.620 uh,

01:32:59.380 Flynn and others played knowingly,

01:33:02.440 uh,

01:33:03.640 some,

01:33:03.960 some,

01:33:04.240 some pretty dark stuff there.

01:33:05.740 Yeah.

01:33:06.320 Before I go down,

01:33:07.340 before I go down this road anymore,

01:33:08.720 I just,

01:33:10.240 I just,

01:33:10.680 I want to go down with,

01:33:11.920 I want to go down with some friends here looking for red flags,

01:33:14.800 uh,

01:33:15.800 on this.

01:33:16.340 We have to really vet it really well because it's,

01:33:18.940 it's a pretty compelling book.

01:33:21.000 It's,

01:33:21.500 it seems that one of the charges here,

01:33:23.020 just scanning here is that they actually think that Russia helped Trump win,

01:33:27.440 which I just,

01:33:28.240 I just dismiss out of hand.

01:33:29.600 No,

01:33:29.900 I don't know.

01:33:30.760 I don't know.

01:33:31.040 Okay.

01:33:31.240 So no,

01:33:31.720 that's,

01:33:32.240 I think that's,

01:33:33.180 I think that's hyperbole.

01:33:36.620 Um,

01:33:37.380 they agree.

01:33:41.820 At least this is the,

01:33:42.920 this is the impression I have in the parts that I've read that,

01:33:46.920 um,

01:33:48.560 they just want chaos.

01:33:50.120 They just want Russia wins.

01:33:52.220 They just want chaos.

01:33:53.500 So they're doing everything they can to create chaos and to create a distrust of the system by Americans.

01:34:01.820 Okay.

01:34:02.660 So they win either way.

01:34:05.360 Um,

01:34:05.960 but they make a pretty compelling case on how long they've been trying to get to Donald Trump.

01:34:12.280 Uh,

01:34:13.500 and,

01:34:14.060 um,

01:34:15.020 and the P and they did get to the people all around him.

01:34:18.840 And I haven't,

01:34:19.940 I haven't gotten much further into it than,

01:34:23.020 than that.

01:34:23.380 Cause there's just so much that I need to check all the footnotes on and make sure that it's not some hack,

01:34:30.320 uh,

01:34:31.060 job on this.

01:34:31.940 Yeah.

01:34:32.200 It's,

01:34:32.580 I mean,

01:34:32.860 I think it's,

01:34:33.840 if nothing else,

01:34:34.540 you want to know what the charges are,

01:34:36.040 what's going to be brought up.

01:34:37.100 Uh,

01:34:37.420 I think this is the worst that anybody has written so far.

01:34:41.420 This is,

01:34:42.040 you know,

01:34:42.240 this is the,

01:34:43.080 this is what they're looking for.

01:34:45.100 And this book claims to have a lot of the stuff in it.

01:34:48.900 If you really,

01:34:49.920 I don't want to get into a situation to where I'm arguing something and I haven't read the other side.

01:34:55.600 You know what I mean?

01:34:56.400 If the charges are there,

01:34:57.640 we need to know it.

01:34:58.420 It's,

01:34:58.620 it's kind of like when we first,

01:35:00.300 when Al Gore's movie came out and I went to that and Stu was like,

01:35:03.980 Oh no,

01:35:04.320 this could be really bad.

01:35:06.260 Um,

01:35:07.060 because I,

01:35:08.280 I left there saying to Stu,

01:35:10.180 I want to investigate,

01:35:11.620 turn over every stone.

01:35:12.660 He makes a compelling case.

01:35:14.360 If you don't know the facts,

01:35:16.180 so let's turn over every stone.

01:35:19.100 Uh,

01:35:19.580 and you should do that,

01:35:20.700 uh,

01:35:21.300 with this book called collusion,

01:35:23.040 turn over every stone,

01:35:24.220 but we need to know the argument because it's pretty,

01:35:26.400 really damming.

01:35:34.100 Glenn Beck.

01:35:46.980 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:49.140 Welcome to the program.

01:35:49.900 Glad you're here.

01:35:50.640 Um,

01:35:51.040 we announced earlier today,

01:35:52.420 a new mission for the Nazarene fund.

01:35:55.060 We are,

01:35:56.200 um,

01:35:56.980 we're taking a global.

01:35:58.140 We have partnered with OUR operation underground railroad,

01:36:01.580 uh,

01:36:02.640 and they're going to continue to do,

01:36:04.220 uh,

01:36:04.760 their missions.

01:36:05.700 And the Nazarene fund,

01:36:07.540 uh,

01:36:08.300 is going to get a little more serious on the,

01:36:12.100 um,

01:36:13.420 search and rescue.

01:36:14.320 If you will.

01:36:15.180 Um,

01:36:15.660 there are,

01:36:16.500 there are,

01:36:16.640 there are about 6,000 slaves,

01:36:20.160 ISIS made slaves,

01:36:21.720 and they are Christian in you city, 0.53

01:36:23.520 women and children mainly.

01:36:25.560 And,

01:36:26.220 um,

01:36:26.620 we would like to,

01:36:27.980 uh,

01:36:28.740 raise 25 million.

01:36:30.660 And we are going to,

01:36:32.180 our goal is to have a,

01:36:34.300 an operation to free at least one of them,

01:36:38.180 uh,

01:36:39.000 every other day in 2018.

01:36:42.220 So we're going to be quite busy.

01:36:44.820 Um,

01:36:45.420 and,

01:36:46.040 but we can't do it without your help.

01:36:47.900 Uh,

01:36:48.160 so if you would like to donate to the Nazarene fund,

01:36:52.120 you can do that.

01:36:53.080 The Nazarene fund.org,

01:36:55.320 um,

01:36:55.820 saving and freeing the captives and the slaves,

01:36:58.340 not only now in Syria and Iraq,

01:37:01.380 but also soon in Northern Africa and all around the world.

01:37:05.860 Uh,

01:37:06.140 Pat Gray has joined us,

01:37:07.260 uh,

01:37:07.760 Pat.

01:37:08.240 And I,

01:37:08.660 I'm thinking just of ways that you can maybe help raise the 25 million.

01:37:12.460 I had one,

01:37:13.200 um,

01:37:13.820 was,

01:37:14.340 uh,

01:37:14.480 maybe for several months,

01:37:16.260 promote a giant rodent race,

01:37:18.440 um,

01:37:19.360 and then not show up to it when it happens.

01:37:21.120 Yeah.

01:37:21.360 Something like that would be an interesting thing.

01:37:23.040 Like maybe if you forced several shows on your network to talk constantly about,

01:37:27.360 I don't know.

01:37:27.860 You're going to feel so bad when you hear this.

01:37:29.120 Go ahead.

01:37:29.520 Go ahead. 1.00

01:37:29.780 About a stupid race with armadillos. 1.00

01:37:32.220 Yeah. 1.00

01:37:32.420 And then when the armadillo race happens,

01:37:34.640 where would you go?

01:37:36.340 Like maybe somewhere else,

01:37:38.300 probably somewhere else.

01:37:39.300 You're on vacation now.

01:37:40.580 Yeah.

01:37:40.760 Yeah.

01:37:40.900 Cause it's,

01:37:41.220 you take off early and go to vacation.

01:37:42.880 Yeah.

01:37:43.000 Probably take a flight,

01:37:44.140 uh,

01:37:44.560 somewhere along,

01:37:45.380 far away.

01:37:46.000 Right.

01:37:46.540 To the mountains,

01:37:47.640 if you will.

01:37:48.300 The way he's patiently waiting here is not good.

01:37:50.600 Cause he's probably got something good.

01:37:52.200 Or you could be called off stage,

01:37:55.980 um,

01:37:57.080 to sit with a woman who,

01:37:59.100 uh,

01:37:59.580 just lost her son and her husband and wanted to donate a large amount of money,

01:38:05.900 uh,

01:38:06.840 in their name.

01:38:07.940 And,

01:38:08.520 uh,

01:38:09.200 so you could,

01:38:10.020 but that you didn't.

01:38:11.040 Right.

01:38:11.260 Right.

01:38:11.440 If that's what'll help you sleep at night.

01:38:17.660 And that was amazing.

01:38:18.880 Uh,

01:38:19.100 Jeffy and I were both noticing that here we are a bunch of more.

01:38:23.660 I will tell you somebody came in because I was backstage with this really sweet woman from Florida. 0.99

01:38:29.700 And,

01:38:29.820 um,

01:38:30.560 and so somebody comes in and it was very,

01:38:33.860 you know,

01:38:34.120 it was tender,

01:38:35.820 you know?

01:38:36.480 Sure.

01:38:36.800 Uh,

01:38:37.120 and,

01:38:37.580 uh,

01:38:37.860 so he comes in,

01:38:38.680 Glenn,

01:38:39.240 you have to be there for the arm.

01:38:41.000 And I just looked up like,

01:38:42.220 not now,

01:38:43.520 no armadillo race.

01:38:44.720 Now,

01:38:45.000 not now.

01:38:45.820 Yeah. 0.80

01:38:46.440 So I was so skeeved out by those icky animals.

01:38:49.460 I couldn't even,

01:38:50.320 I actually liked them.

01:38:52.040 I thought they were kind of cool. 0.94

01:38:53.420 They are nasty.

01:38:55.360 That shell is not even hard.

01:38:57.720 I thought it was hard.

01:38:58.580 You touched it.

01:38:59.100 I wouldn't touch the thing.

01:38:59.860 It's like soft.

01:39:01.020 You wouldn't touch it?

01:39:01.760 No.

01:39:02.060 I tried not to,

01:39:03.300 but I could tell it was soft.

01:39:04.520 I,

01:39:04.760 cause I,

01:39:05.420 I didn't want leprosy.

01:39:06.660 It was hairy too.

01:39:07.760 It was soft and hairy.

01:39:09.340 Yeah.

01:39:09.580 It was weird.

01:39:10.300 And they were lying to us by telling us that blowing in their ear made them go fast.

01:39:14.480 No,

01:39:15.100 no.

01:39:15.460 Or blow on their tails. 1.00

01:39:17.280 I think it was just a scam to get us to look stupid. 1.00

01:39:19.980 And it worked and it worked. 1.00

01:39:21.160 It worked.

01:39:21.480 It worked.

01:39:22.020 And you guys did it.

01:39:23.240 And we did.

01:39:23.540 Yeah.

01:39:23.700 Where were you?

01:39:24.060 Oh,

01:39:24.420 that's right.

01:39:24.720 You weren't there.

01:39:25.560 No,

01:39:26.040 I was.

01:39:26.220 You were making up a fraudulent case about a terrible tragedy.

01:39:29.780 Let's see.

01:39:30.320 What can I say happened?

01:39:31.680 So this doesn't look back.

01:39:34.200 I'm really bummed.

01:39:35.220 So Jeffy won.

01:39:36.440 Jeffy won.

01:39:37.140 Yeah.

01:39:37.360 Well,

01:39:37.540 he cheated.

01:39:38.100 He picked up the.

01:39:38.920 Yeah,

01:39:39.040 he picked up.

01:39:39.600 Yeah.

01:39:40.120 There's a,

01:39:40.720 like an AstroTurf covering the lane.

01:39:42.840 Yeah,

01:39:43.060 yeah,

01:39:43.120 yeah,

01:39:43.280 yeah.

01:39:43.360 He picked up all the AstroTurf and forced it forward.

01:39:46.420 Just pushed,

01:39:47.100 pushed his armadillo along behind it.

01:39:50.460 Well,

01:39:50.620 you didn't expect Jeffy to play fair.

01:39:52.480 No,

01:39:52.780 I didn't.

01:39:53.100 I just assumed it would be more drug related.

01:39:55.620 I was surprised that he came up with something.

01:39:57.600 That the armadillos weren't doping.

01:39:59.540 Yeah,

01:39:59.640 I kind of,

01:40:00.220 he's kind of feeding his steroids all night long.

01:40:02.600 Why is that one armadillo so muscular?

01:40:04.280 I was,

01:40:06.400 I was really,

01:40:07.680 I had a great time.

01:40:09.340 Yeah.

01:40:09.560 If you didn't go to this year's M1 Ball,

01:40:11.720 make sure you come next year.

01:40:13.000 This was great.

01:40:14.160 Really fun.

01:40:14.660 Great people.

01:40:15.280 Oh,

01:40:15.600 really great.

01:40:16.660 I forget there's cool people like out there.

01:40:18.860 Yeah.

01:40:19.160 They're not just all,

01:40:20.020 it's,

01:40:20.340 I think everyone is Twitter sometimes.

01:40:22.300 I don't want to interact with anyone.

01:40:24.320 I had,

01:40:24.740 you realize they're actually pretty cool.

01:40:25.820 I had dinner with Chuck Norris on Friday and then for his charity.

01:40:30.420 And then he came to our charity on Saturday.

01:40:33.480 So I had,

01:40:34.260 you know,

01:40:34.520 two days of Chuck and Gina Norris.

01:40:36.480 They are the nicest,

01:40:39.280 most gracious people.

01:40:40.700 I think I know they're in the category of the Bartons. 0.96

01:40:44.200 Just that kind,

01:40:45.420 sweet,

01:40:45.740 never ask anything for themselves.

01:40:47.240 Kind of people,

01:40:48.040 you know,

01:40:49.020 the kind of people you just take advantage of.

01:40:50.760 If they weren't the Norris. 0.99

01:40:54.280 If he couldn't kill you just with his eye. 0.98

01:40:57.100 I don't know if you saw, 1.00

01:40:58.300 I mean,

01:40:58.660 did you make it to the,

01:40:59.920 to the Chuck Norris attachment for the AR?

01:41:03.020 Yes,

01:41:03.480 I did.

01:41:03.880 How have we not seen video of this yet?

01:41:05.400 Uh,

01:41:06.000 I don't know if there was any video.

01:41:08.020 I,

01:41:08.140 I,

01:41:08.760 I said to somebody backstage,

01:41:10.600 I said,

01:41:10.920 make sure you get video.

01:41:11.940 And I don't even know if they heard me,

01:41:13.340 but,

01:41:14.040 uh,

01:41:14.280 there is a picture of it,

01:41:15.480 but,

01:41:15.980 uh,

01:41:16.340 I took a,

01:41:17.740 I took an AR and I attached a combat helmet to it.

01:41:22.540 And then I attached the helmet to Chuck Norris.

01:41:26.420 So it is an AR with a Chuck Norris attachment.

01:41:29.780 Is that legal?

01:41:30.600 Is that illegal?

01:41:31.420 You need at least three days.

01:41:32.900 Yeah.

01:41:33.460 There's a three day cooling off period.

01:41:35.400 Yeah.

01:41:35.860 Before you get the Chuck Norris attachment.

01:41:38.380 Yeah.

01:41:39.440 By the way,

01:41:39.960 I did not see,

01:41:40.720 uh,

01:41:40.980 I expected to see John Conyers,

01:41:42.820 uh,

01:41:43.160 at,

01:41:43.560 uh,

01:41:43.700 the M one ball.

01:41:44.640 Uh,

01:41:44.840 we didn't have any,

01:41:46.020 no sexual harassment people there.

01:41:48.360 I know.

01:41:48.940 What,

01:41:49.140 what,

01:41:49.440 what was there a ban?

01:41:50.940 I mean,

01:41:51.340 I just thought it was,

01:41:52.140 you know,

01:41:52.400 nice for the kids.

01:41:53.560 Cause he seems to have access to a giant slush fund that could probably help Mercury one quite a bit.

01:41:57.620 Uh,

01:41:58.180 the slush fund,

01:41:59.020 I believe is your tax dollars.

01:42:01.720 Oh,

01:42:01.940 it's definitely our tax dollars.

01:42:03.020 There's no question about that.

01:42:04.260 I don't like it being called a slush fund when it's our tax dollars.

01:42:07.740 How amazing is it though?

01:42:09.020 that John,

01:42:09.700 I get a kick out of these people who say,

01:42:11.720 read the bill.

01:42:13.180 Conyers is,

01:42:14.380 is now embroiled in this thing.

01:42:16.720 Uh,

01:42:17.600 he's what?

01:42:18.680 88 years old.

01:42:19.820 88.

01:42:20.340 He's been in Congress for 54 years.

01:42:22.380 He's served 27 terms.

01:42:24.620 And 27,

01:42:25.560 seven terms.

01:42:27.800 That's,

01:42:28.000 that should be a crime.

01:42:29.220 It shouldn't be really allowed.

01:42:31.660 No,

01:42:31.960 that's for sure.

01:42:33.340 Do you watch any of these guys talking?

01:42:35.100 They're all so old.

01:42:36.640 They,

01:42:36.900 you,

01:42:37.160 they don't have a clue.

01:42:38.580 Nancy Pelosi doesn't know what she's even saying anymore.

01:42:42.120 It's unbelievable.

01:42:43.400 It's unbelievable.

01:42:44.680 I get a kick out of these people who say, 0.99

01:42:46.440 don't grab women's butts. 1.00

01:42:49.680 Don't fondle and squeeze their snoobs without permission. 0.99

01:42:54.120 Snoobs.

01:42:54.760 What good is waiting for permission when you might not actually get it?

01:43:01.500 It's going to be interesting to see how that works out because as you guys,

01:43:05.220 I think we're talking about a little bit earlier,

01:43:06.960 the hypocrisy is the double standard is on.

01:43:10.500 Well,

01:43:10.640 I actually like Nancy Pelosi standard process,

01:43:13.780 but it only applies to him.

01:43:16.080 Right.

01:43:16.320 Franken. 0.84

01:43:16.780 It doesn't apply to Roy Moore to whom she referred as a child molester. 0.78

01:43:22.100 Okay.

01:43:22.500 There's been no due process there.

01:43:24.920 What about due process there?

01:43:26.820 Right. 0.97

01:43:26.920 A child molester.

01:43:28.100 When you talk about child molester, 0.73

01:43:29.140 there was one accusation of child molestation.

01:43:31.700 And that,

01:43:31.900 yeah,

01:43:32.120 what you remember,

01:43:32.540 that was the 14 year old,

01:43:33.420 the initial case.

01:43:34.380 I mean,

01:43:34.700 they've now gone to the point with Roy Moore where they're like,

01:43:37.600 look,

01:43:37.780 there's been nine women who have accused him of this.

01:43:39.620 One of the women is a 22 year old who said,

01:43:43.780 who said,

01:43:44.300 whose accusation was,

01:43:46.780 he asked me out several times.

01:43:48.980 That was the accusation from a 22 year old.

01:43:52.100 That is not,

01:43:52.980 that is not qualified as an accuser.

01:43:55.100 No,

01:43:55.160 I mean,

01:43:56.440 there just gets to be this ridiculous level where,

01:43:59.220 but have you noticed,

01:44:00.100 I mean,

01:44:00.500 Al Franken,

01:44:01.760 Al Franken,

01:44:02.640 you know,

01:44:02.920 gift of gab.

01:44:04.040 He should be able to power through anything,

01:44:06.220 right?

01:44:06.580 But listen to Al Franken as he is questioned over the weekend. 0.99

01:44:12.220 Are they mistaken that their butt was grabbed? 0.99

01:44:16.540 Listen, 0.99

01:44:17.140 is that what you're saying?

01:44:18.280 I am not saying that.

01:44:19.980 I don't remember these.

01:44:22.540 As I said,

01:44:23.300 I take thousands of photos.

01:44:24.820 I don't,

01:44:25.320 I'm not saying that as you know,

01:44:30.380 I,

01:44:31.040 I've,

01:44:31.400 as I've said,

01:44:32.080 I take the guy is thrown.

01:44:34.960 Wow.

01:44:35.060 These guys have never been pushed up against the wall ever.

01:44:39.700 Yeah.

01:44:40.380 Ever on anything.

01:44:41.600 Can you say categorically that you've never grabbed, 0.83

01:44:45.020 never grabbed a woman's butt without her permission. 0.73

01:44:47.420 I can categorically say, 0.97

01:44:49.180 no,

01:44:49.420 I've never done that.

01:44:50.140 Never done that.

01:44:50.800 Not once,

01:44:51.520 not ever done that.

01:44:52.500 Well,

01:44:52.660 you know what,

01:44:52.880 you know why Franken is doing that is,

01:44:54.900 is hedging like that.

01:44:55.920 And I've,

01:44:56.240 I've seen this from several of the accusers and their,

01:44:59.240 uh,

01:44:59.640 and their defenders is that it seems as if you're calling out more

01:45:04.820 accusers.

01:45:05.900 So like you're,

01:45:07.340 you're,

01:45:07.660 if he,

01:45:07.960 he says,

01:45:08.520 well,

01:45:08.640 no,

01:45:08.880 I never did that.

01:45:10.320 Then you're like enticing women who either have had that happen to

01:45:14.580 them or just want to attack you.

01:45:16.540 Cause as soon as you say,

01:45:17.460 I've never done it.

01:45:18.040 And another one comes out,

01:45:18.980 it's confirmed.

01:45:19.740 That's the way the media is treating these things right now.

01:45:21.560 So you are opening yourself up to anyone coming out and saying that

01:45:25.420 you do this.

01:45:25.860 And if three or four happens,

01:45:27.240 there you're a serial harasser.

01:45:29.100 Is there a right answer for any of this?

01:45:31.960 Cause you can't say I didn't do it.

01:45:34.200 This is,

01:45:34.740 this is the answer is I didn't do it and prove it because I'm the accused

01:45:38.500 here.

01:45:38.760 The burden is on you.

01:45:40.100 Prove that I did that to you.

01:45:41.320 Then.

01:45:41.860 Well,

01:45:42.260 but that would be my,

01:45:43.140 are you calling these women liars? 0.62

01:45:44.680 Well, 0.63

01:45:44.900 yes,

01:45:45.260 because I didn't do it.

01:45:46.500 Yes.

01:45:46.860 He is blaming the victims.

01:45:48.820 They're not victims.

01:45:49.420 If I didn't do it,

01:45:50.360 all these women are lying. 1.00

01:45:53.380 Yes.

01:45:53.680 All of them are lying.

01:45:55.140 Is that what we're supposed to believe?

01:45:57.280 Yes.

01:45:57.920 I mean,

01:45:58.220 if you have the conviction of the truth on your side,

01:46:01.080 I think that's what you have to do.

01:46:02.580 Isn't it?

01:46:03.000 And that's essentially what Roy Moore has done.

01:46:04.780 Yeah.

01:46:04.960 But has it worked?

01:46:06.120 I don't know.

01:46:06.560 We'll see on a election day.

01:46:08.200 Right.

01:46:08.320 He may win this election.

01:46:09.260 I think he probably will in Alabama.

01:46:11.900 Let's say,

01:46:12.460 let's say he's totally innocent,

01:46:14.400 totally innocent,

01:46:15.500 which I think is possible.

01:46:18.480 Especially because.

01:46:19.400 Yeah,

01:46:19.500 it is.

01:46:19.820 What is it?

01:46:20.620 They said seven,

01:46:21.280 eight or nine accusers.

01:46:22.600 Only two have actually accused him of a crime.

01:46:25.140 That's important to note.

01:46:26.740 One was a 14 year old.

01:46:28.100 And the other one was a 16 year old who said that she,

01:46:30.240 he forced himself on her,

01:46:32.840 which could,

01:46:33.360 you know,

01:46:33.520 she was of age,

01:46:34.500 but he actually did something she did not want.

01:46:37.560 Right.

01:46:38.000 Yeah.

01:46:38.320 Where the other,

01:46:39.100 there was 16 year old,

01:46:39.900 17 year olds.

01:46:40.400 The other ones were like,

01:46:41.060 well,

01:46:41.180 we kissed and I was 17.

01:46:42.480 That's not definitely not a crime.

01:46:44.180 Even.

01:46:44.660 And then,

01:46:45.160 you know,

01:46:45.780 admittedly,

01:46:46.500 that's,

01:46:46.860 I mean,

01:46:47.020 it's not even a crime if they had sex,

01:46:48.720 but they're only accusing him of kissing.

01:46:51.180 Right.

01:46:51.520 So,

01:46:52.000 I mean,

01:46:52.240 again,

01:46:52.600 creepy behavior,

01:46:53.660 questionable behavior.

01:46:55.100 If I have all these accusations,

01:46:56.640 right.

01:46:56.760 And it's very difficult to keep them all a track of at this point.

01:46:59.820 But I think only two of them have actually accused him of something that would be illegal.

01:47:03.900 Seems like it.

01:47:04.380 Yeah.

01:47:05.040 So,

01:47:05.360 so let's just say that those two are not true.

01:47:11.900 Does he ever get his reputation back?

01:47:14.420 No.

01:47:15.500 No,

01:47:15.680 of course not.

01:47:16.160 You're done.

01:47:17.300 Right.

01:47:17.600 You're done.

01:47:18.240 And there's really no way to deal with it.

01:47:20.080 I,

01:47:20.700 because if you say,

01:47:21.800 for example,

01:47:22.260 some people have brought out other women who have said,

01:47:25.140 wait a minute,

01:47:25.400 I was around that guy for 20 years working with him every day and never saw anything like this.

01:47:31.040 He was an incredible,

01:47:33.340 he's honorable to every woman.

01:47:34.580 He fought for women's causes.

01:47:35.960 That's happened with Al Franken.

01:47:37.200 It's happening with Conyers now.

01:47:39.100 Well,

01:47:39.280 that can't work because then you're just saying,

01:47:41.140 well,

01:47:42.080 oh,

01:47:42.540 because,

01:47:42.960 oh,

01:47:43.340 correct.

01:47:43.740 Congratulations.

01:47:44.140 You didn't harass two dozen women.

01:47:46.400 Congratulations.

01:47:47.320 What an achievement,

01:47:48.800 right?

01:47:48.960 Like they just mock you for that.

01:47:50.340 If,

01:47:50.580 if there's a letter that has shows that you,

01:47:53.080 or a picture,

01:47:54.200 there's a now Franken picture with this accuser,

01:47:56.320 one of the accusers,

01:47:57.500 five years after the incident where they're laughing in a jovial sort of fashion.

01:48:02.320 Well,

01:48:02.780 if,

01:48:03.140 when that comes out,

01:48:03.980 what's it,

01:48:04.380 what do people say?

01:48:05.260 Of course,

01:48:06.120 these brave women have to put on a brave face and smile and continue to work with these guys. 0.98

01:48:11.460 Yeah.

01:48:11.980 They,

01:48:12.380 they have no choice.

01:48:13.540 We're an incredible on the women at all. 0.99

01:48:15.480 And it takes away,

01:48:16.440 honestly,

01:48:16.760 it takes away the way this is playing out is it taking,

01:48:19.160 it takes away their agency.

01:48:20.440 Yeah.

01:48:20.620 It takes away their ability or any power they have because you have no choice,

01:48:25.720 but to sit there with Louis CK doing his thing.

01:48:27.960 You know,

01:48:28.240 the,

01:48:28.380 the Charlie Rose accusations,

01:48:30.240 you read about those last week?

01:48:31.420 Yeah.

01:48:32.100 That's my mind.

01:48:32.880 Blows me away.

01:48:34.460 If he,

01:48:35.060 if you were at his house and he comes out,

01:48:38.640 you're there for a meeting of some sort,

01:48:40.660 producer meeting with the,

01:48:41.800 with the host.

01:48:42.340 And he comes out naked and that bothers you.

01:48:46.160 Do you show up a second,

01:48:48.000 third,

01:48:48.580 fourth,

01:48:49.160 fifth,

01:48:49.400 and sixth time?

01:48:51.400 That supposedly happens six times.

01:48:54.280 You don't like it.

01:48:55.120 Don't go.

01:48:56.380 Well,

01:48:56.780 now,

01:48:57.080 wait a minute.

01:48:57.540 Play the other side.

01:48:58.280 Don't go.

01:48:58.680 Play the other side.

01:49:00.400 You've seen television.

01:49:01.520 You've seen how nasty and stabby in the back television is.

01:49:06.740 You're Charlie Rose.

01:49:08.180 You know,

01:49:08.580 Charlie Rose is not going anywhere.

01:49:10.220 CBS is not going to fire Charlie Rose.

01:49:12.580 PBS.

01:49:13.180 He's a,

01:49:13.580 the institution.

01:49:14.500 He's,

01:49:14.660 I know,

01:49:15.200 I know,

01:49:15.480 I know.

01:49:15.760 But you know,

01:49:16.560 old thing.

01:49:17.120 Sure.

01:49:17.320 August or the old days.

01:49:20.960 So,

01:49:21.380 you know,

01:49:21.640 he's not going anywhere.

01:49:23.760 And you have the job of producing Charlie Rose.

01:49:27.520 That is big.

01:49:29.280 You go and tell CBS and you want to be able to,

01:49:34.740 you know,

01:49:35.140 be in the war zone and everything else.

01:49:37.380 You got to just deal with it.

01:49:39.220 You just got to deal with it.

01:49:40.300 You want to go to the war zone?

01:49:41.800 Deal with it.

01:49:43.100 You couldn't deal with Charlie Rose.

01:49:46.420 I don't know.

01:49:47.680 It's an interesting decision.

01:49:49.020 It would be,

01:49:49.360 to me,

01:49:50.340 it would be what I would,

01:49:51.560 what I would think,

01:49:53.360 if I were in that role,

01:49:54.560 I would be like,

01:49:55.180 yeah,

01:49:55.300 but if,

01:49:55.780 I mean,

01:49:56.480 then I'm the person outing Charlie Rose.

01:49:59.780 I'm the troublemaker.

01:50:01.340 That's why I just,

01:50:02.140 you know what?

01:50:02.580 I'm going to go to the war zone anyway. 0.99

01:50:04.880 I mean,

01:50:05.140 it couldn't be worse than that,

01:50:06.460 but you're going to save a lot of people down the line.

01:50:08.300 A lot of other women won't have to go through what you did. 1.00

01:50:10.540 Yeah.

01:50:11.100 Right.

01:50:12.280 And the way that's framed and it continually is framed that way,

01:50:15.280 by the way.

01:50:15.760 And I,

01:50:16.080 and I understand that that decision is gotta be impossible.

01:50:18.460 And no woman should have to make it. 1.00

01:50:20.180 And that's the most important thing.

01:50:21.440 Like no woman should be put in a position where, 1.00

01:50:22.840 she has to choose between her career and some harassment charge. 1.00

01:50:25.560 That's not,

01:50:26.280 not okay.

01:50:27.560 But it's interesting in that it's continually framed that way by the media,

01:50:30.980 as if these women were just like, 1.00

01:50:32.320 you know what?

01:50:33.520 I got an advancement in my career.

01:50:41.080 Yeah.

01:50:41.380 And it's like,

01:50:41.760 that's how I think that's really unfair to the women. 1.00

01:50:43.860 I mean,
