The Glenn Beck Program - 12⧸5⧸17 - Undermining Public Faith (David French. Austin Peterson & Mason Wells join Glenn)

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

00:00:09.740 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:15.200 Well, the U.S. Supreme Court has finally, definitely, possibly, maybe, temporarily, but for sure, greenlit the travel ban.

00:00:25.640 So, are we ever going to get any finality on this?

00:00:28.440 This version of the ban, the third, if anyone is still counting, was issued four months ago.

00:00:35.180 It's currently facing ongoing opposition from two lower courts in two separate challenges.

00:00:41.720 Those cases are going to be heard this week.

00:00:44.280 So, the temporary win for the administration might end up being a short celebration, but we're not sure because they decided for sure, temporarily, kind of.

00:00:56.800 It's carved in jello.

00:01:01.760 You got to give it to the social justice warrior activist, media, politicians.

00:01:07.220 You guys are good, man.

00:01:08.800 Pretty impressive on how you can take any issue at all.

00:01:12.280 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:01:14.020 And turn it into a social justice jihad.

00:01:17.080 Are you pro-life?

00:01:18.540 Well, why do you hate women so much? 0.98

00:01:21.600 You pro-religious liberty? 1.00

00:01:24.680 What a fascist bigot you are. 0.86

00:01:27.900 I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the strategy table, you know, when I heard people start to, how are we going to spin the travel ban? 0.95

00:01:35.380 Okay, guys, what do all these countries have in common?

00:01:39.000 Uh, yeah, they all have a lot of sand.

00:01:43.640 Trump hates desert climates.

00:01:45.800 Nice, nice, nice thought.

00:01:47.640 Maybe we could spin a climate change argument here.

00:01:50.640 Anybody else?

00:01:51.820 Uh, yeah, um, all of these areas are conflict zones. 1.00

00:01:56.540 You idiot. 1.00

00:01:57.880 Stupidest idea you have heard yet. 1.00

00:02:00.260 You can't, you can't just say that and then not follow it up with an agenda. 1.00

00:02:04.420 Here, let me work with you here.

00:02:05.960 Um, these are unstable areas.

00:02:07.800 Areas, uh, a prime example of the effects of global colonialism.

00:02:13.600 Boom! 0.99

00:02:14.300 There, that's how you get it done.

00:02:16.420 Wait a minute.

00:02:17.880 Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Chad.

00:02:23.380 Wait a minute.

00:02:25.300 There's a lot of Muslims in these areas.

00:02:27.840 Change the word from Trump's travel ban to a travel ban on Muslim-majority countries.

00:02:35.360 Now, we're going to have to find a way to get everybody to forget that North Korea and Venezuela 1.00

00:02:42.160 are part of the travel ban as well, and they're not full of Muslims.

00:02:47.380 But if we can just get them to forget, done and done.

00:02:52.060 Back to reality here for a second.

00:02:54.820 If this truly were a Muslim ban, then why, why the addition of North Korea and Venezuela? 0.88

00:03:00.800 Why wouldn't you add in the most populous Muslim countries in the world?

00:03:07.340 Indonesia is 13% of the world's Muslim population.

00:03:10.660 Kind of big.

00:03:11.760 In fact, number one on the charts.

00:03:14.620 Coming in at number two Muslim-populated country is India.

00:03:20.400 Followed with Pakistan at number three with a bullet. 1.00

00:03:24.640 The only country that the travel ban is including that breaks the top ten is Iran.

00:03:38.340 So wait, this can't be a Muslim travel ban. 1.00

00:03:43.040 I know, I know, Trump said that, but he's dumb as a box of rocks. 1.00

00:03:46.820 Why are people so comfortable with putting up with a false social justice agenda, 1.00

00:03:54.280 especially when it comes to national security?

00:03:58.320 Maybe it's because the people pushing this will never have to live with the consequences.

00:04:03.060 I mean, how many live in neighborhoods that are going to have illegal immigrants or refugee resettlements?

00:04:10.780 I mean, we find out really quick when we say, oh, okay, well, we're going to resettle them in your neighborhood. 0.96

00:04:17.300 How everybody's like, oh, no, no, wait.

00:04:19.040 Oh, no, hold on just a second.

00:04:21.100 You look at Hawaii.

00:04:22.580 The state has become famous for overruling the travel ban, right?

00:04:27.940 Hawaiians are not going to put up with this.

00:04:31.080 Except since 2010, you know how many refugees Hawaii has accepted?

00:04:36.620 Count them.

00:04:37.240 You can because, well, unless you've lost a finger, 10, 10, that's less than 1%.

00:04:45.520 And none of their legal immigrants come anywhere close to those conflicted areas listed on the travel ban.

00:04:56.100 Oh, but they're all about allowing North Korea to stay on the ban.

00:05:00.440 Yeah, we're going to we're going to ban those guys.

00:05:02.240 You bet.

00:05:04.380 So here's to a little safety.

00:05:07.240 Well, at least until the Supreme Court changes its mind, perhaps later this week.

00:05:20.720 It's Tuesday, December 5th.

00:05:23.040 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:05:26.060 It's going to be one of our topics today on television at five o'clock.

00:05:29.720 This is so astounding how everyone is playing a game with the travel ban.

00:05:41.120 What is the travel ban really about?

00:05:43.340 Honestly, what is it about?

00:05:46.380 Safety, right?

00:05:47.940 It's about we have to know who's coming into our country. 0.99

00:05:51.400 So Donald Trump said, we need 90 days to be able to get our sea legs here, know who's coming into the country, and then we'll reevaluate.

00:06:02.980 OK.

00:06:04.080 All right.

00:06:04.460 That to me, that made sense.

00:06:06.880 The left immediately protests.

00:06:10.700 No, no, no.

00:06:11.340 We have to have everybody come into the country. 1.00

00:06:14.060 We can't ask any questions. 0.98

00:06:15.700 Come on, you racists. 0.93

00:06:19.120 What is this really about?

00:06:21.720 At this point, Trump has had almost a year.

00:06:26.340 So did you.

00:06:28.000 Did you do that 90-day research?

00:06:31.400 I mean, because you should have an answer now.

00:06:33.340 We shouldn't need this temporary ban.

00:06:36.580 We should know the answer.

00:06:38.540 You've had almost a year.

00:06:41.140 Or did you.

00:06:43.580 Did you think you only had the budget to be able to fight it in court or.

00:06:50.340 Do your homework.

00:06:52.260 Now, if I hadn't seen the deficit number, I would say, well, maybe you didn't have the money.

00:06:57.660 You had to pick one or the other.

00:06:59.460 But I know that's not true.

00:07:01.620 So why are we still fighting something where we were only supposed to have it for 90 days?

00:07:07.420 So we could do our homework and get our sea legs.

00:07:11.380 You should have that answer now.

00:07:12.760 We should be talking about an entirely new travel ban.

00:07:17.380 The White House should come out and say, hey, by the way, we've done our homework.

00:07:20.560 That's outdated.

00:07:21.900 We we've now done our homework.

00:07:23.880 And here's how we want to change this.

00:07:26.100 That's what it should be.

00:07:27.780 OK, so that's on the right on the left.

00:07:30.800 This isn't this.

00:07:32.200 This is all about winning. 1.00

00:07:33.820 This is about destroying Donald Trump, making sure that you're the biggest pain in the ass. 1.00

00:07:39.580 So you don't get anything done at all. 0.99

00:07:43.760 And if you want some example, could we go to the audio of what's her name?

00:07:49.540 Joy Behar.

00:07:50.760 This is this is Joy Behar yesterday.

00:07:52.700 Now, remember, if you didn't want President Obama to succeed, you were un-American. 0.98

00:08:00.720 You were a horrible American. 0.99

00:08:02.920 We all need the president to succeed. 0.65

00:08:05.160 And we a lot of us said that we don't want his policies going forward, but we do want him to succeed because otherwise we all fail.

00:08:14.520 Right.

00:08:15.460 That wasn't good enough.

00:08:16.700 Listen to Joy Behar.

00:08:17.620 So on Friday's show, apparently I was guilty of premature evaluation.

00:08:24.320 I hear they have a pill for that now.

00:08:26.800 To me, it's a mistake.

00:08:27.960 It's not it's not he didn't deliberately put out a false piece of information.

00:08:31.960 He made an error.

00:08:32.840 I'm not so sure I want him to succeed at destroying the environment, playing chicken with Kim Jong-un. 0.82

00:08:38.500 I'm not so.

00:08:39.400 So I don't want him to succeed at a lot of things.

00:08:41.780 As you say, we want our president to succeed.

00:08:43.980 No, I don't.

00:08:45.060 OK.

00:08:45.980 All right, Joy.

00:08:47.560 And I think this is the feeling on the left.

00:08:50.600 They don't want him to succeed at anything because they hate him so much that that is the agenda now.

00:09:00.660 Stop him no matter what.

00:09:02.860 He could come out and say, I mean, look at his tax plan for the love of Pete.

00:09:07.520 Look at some of the things that he's doing there.

00:09:10.040 How come the gay community hates Donald Trump so much?

00:09:14.880 There's no reason for that at all. 0.97

00:09:18.000 Donald Trump is the most gay friendly president in the history of the United States. 0.97

00:09:24.380 Well, except for Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, who we've now recently discovered were gay. 0.98

00:09:28.640 But other than those two gay presidents, he's the he is the champion. 0.95

00:09:36.600 Compared to all other presidents. 0.99

00:09:38.760 And wait, you hate him.

00:09:40.140 Why?

00:09:41.440 Just because he's on the other side.

00:09:44.900 He's the president.

00:09:46.240 He's the first president to ever take office without opposing outwardly gay marriage.

00:09:50.740 Right.

00:09:51.260 I mean, there's certain things that the gay community does complain about.

00:09:55.040 They're not.

00:09:55.260 They're not Mike Pence fans, for sure.

00:09:57.280 Yeah.

00:09:57.760 But still, I mean.

00:09:59.300 But that's not Donald Trump.

00:10:02.760 That's not Donald Trump.

00:10:04.220 Donald Trump has been pro gay rights long before Hillary Clinton or anybody else long before.

00:10:12.100 Now, it's just this hatred because they oppose him on whatever, whatever else you don't have anybody saying, you know what?

00:10:25.980 I agree with him on these things.

00:10:28.220 It's just destroy him. 0.97

00:10:30.960 Just destroy him. 0.98

00:10:33.460 Well, that's not going to get us anywhere. 0.61

00:10:35.420 And that's where the left is.

00:10:37.100 That's where the media is. 0.67

00:10:38.260 And they are so twisted at this point in their hatred for him.

00:10:43.720 They'll do anything.

00:10:45.800 They'll do anything.

00:10:47.660 And on the other side, Donald Trump, what is, do you still need the 90 days?

00:10:55.040 Or have you done your homework?

00:10:56.960 Is this now just about beating the press and beating the left?

00:11:01.640 Because I, as one American, would just like to remind everybody involved.

00:11:09.280 This is about national security.

00:11:13.120 That's why this started.

00:11:14.940 We're supposed to know who's in the country.

00:11:19.160 That's what this is.

00:11:20.660 National security.

00:11:22.680 I don't care who wins.

00:11:23.900 Quite frankly, maybe you guys should spend more time on, ultimately, if you keep behaving this way, who's going to lose?

00:11:33.040 This is the same thing that is happening with the Russia investigation.

00:11:51.780 The Russia investigation is, the media went crazy on, you know, impeach Donald Trump, impeach Donald Trump, impeach Donald Trump.

00:12:06.340 And Donald Trump is not helping.

00:12:09.180 He's just not helping.

00:12:11.720 But can I just talk to the rest of America?

00:12:14.820 May I talk to the FBI, those who work for the CIA or NSA, those who are working on investigations, and you that actually want a safe, stable democracy?

00:12:30.760 Can I talk to you for just a second?

00:12:33.600 Because the Russia investigation is not about Donald Trump.

00:12:39.220 It is not about Hillary Clinton.

00:12:42.140 It is about Vladimir Putin.

00:12:47.720 Now, there is a 25-page unclassified report that has laid everything out in detail.

00:12:55.260 Have you heard anybody talking about that?

00:12:57.500 Is anybody talking about the 25-page unclassified report that is explaining exactly what Russia is doing?

00:13:05.520 According to the CIA, FBI, and NSA, in this 25-page report, it says,

00:13:14.100 Putin and the Russians have demonstrated a, quote, significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations, end quote.

00:13:27.720 So, what is their operation?

00:13:29.000 What is their goal?

00:13:30.700 According to this unclassified document, the goal is, quote, to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.

00:13:41.860 Let me say that again.

00:13:43.560 To undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.

00:13:48.480 So, how do you do that?

00:13:50.800 Well, you have to make the Democrats not believe in the Democrats anymore.

00:13:54.560 And you have to get the Republicans not to believe in the Republicans anymore.

00:13:58.640 You've got to convince everybody that they're all the same, that everybody's corrupt, and there's no reason to vote.

00:14:03.740 And even if you do vote, it's probably rigged.

00:14:07.760 Now, how close are we to believing all of those things?

00:14:12.060 The target was not Donald Trump.

00:14:17.460 The target was not Hillary Clinton.

00:14:20.080 The target was both of them.

00:14:24.520 Both of them.

00:14:27.560 If you look, if you look at what Russia under Putin is doing,

00:14:34.740 they were running both a covert and an overt operation.

00:14:38.780 The world has never seen, America has never seen anything like this, even during the Soviet Union.

00:14:45.620 The Russian military intelligence, this is all verifiable.

00:14:50.000 We know this for a fact.

00:14:51.920 The Russian military intelligence, the GRU, led a cyber campaign that targeted members of both parties.

00:15:00.300 Do you remember the talk of Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks.com?

00:15:07.320 Those were the Russian-run agencies or operations that went in and hacked the DNC.

00:15:18.280 And what did they do?

00:15:19.860 They immediately released those to WikiLeaks.

00:15:23.180 So Russia goes in and they hack the DNC.

00:15:27.140 What was the result of that?

00:15:28.220 The result of that was the Democratic Party turning on itself. 0.99

00:15:34.720 Look at all the behind-the-scenes crap. 0.99

00:15:37.220 Look what they were doing to Bernie Sanders. 0.99

00:15:39.060 I'll never support Hillary Clinton.

00:15:41.360 They got the DNC to start eating itself.

00:15:45.560 And it's still eating itself.

00:15:48.360 Then what?

00:15:49.240 Then the Russians went a step further and they started using Fusion GPS and pushing the Steele dossier, which was paid for by the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and the FBI.

00:16:06.580 And that campaign, that whole thing, came from Russia.

00:16:12.080 And what did it do?

00:16:14.080 It tried to make Donald Trump look like a traitor to the United States.

00:16:20.900 What did that do?

00:16:22.620 That started everybody fighting.

00:16:24.980 We're eating each other.

00:16:27.420 Oh, and there's one more thing that the Russians did during the last election that is verifiable and no one wants to talk about it. 0.54

00:16:34.280 Not only did they use Russia today to bring propaganda in, they used third-party intermediaries, basic trolls, to give us all kinds of fake news.

00:16:47.340 Oh, and then one more thing.

00:16:50.160 They started to hack our election.

00:16:53.280 They went in, and this is, we know, the worst hack was in Illinois.

00:16:58.340 And they hacked the state and local level election boards.

00:17:03.200 What they were trying to do was they were trying to get to the, where the votes were counted, but it, they didn't do it because they were thinking, you know, they were, they were, um, um, uh, thinking like, uh, Russians, not Americans.

00:17:18.220 So they, they targeted the wrong place.

00:17:21.940 Actually, I think they targeted the state level and everything is counted at the local level.

00:17:26.340 And they got into the state level and they broke it.

00:17:29.600 What was that trying to do?

00:17:31.140 That was trying to get us to say, somebody hacked the elections.

00:17:34.860 You can't trust the vote.

00:17:39.460 Please, America, please.

00:17:42.020 I'm begging you.

00:17:43.260 Stop making everything about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

00:17:46.020 When it comes to Russia, the bad guy is Putin.

00:17:51.300 And again, his goal is to, quote, undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.

00:18:01.460 We must not play into his hands.

00:18:05.740 Getting a good night's sleep is easier said than done, especially if you hear a noise downstairs.

00:19:17.980 Glenn Beck.

00:19:26.500 You know what's amazing is it doesn't seem like to me that anybody cares about what they're saying anymore.

00:19:31.640 They just want to win.

00:19:32.940 Listen to this tax bill.

00:19:36.180 A former Republican policy advisor, Bruce Bartlett.

00:19:40.320 Listen to how he's describing the GOP tax bill.

00:19:44.400 What would be the justification in your mind that Republicans would have for raising taxes on lower income people?

00:19:53.080 Because they, you know, they spend all of their income.

00:19:55.260 So why raise taxes on them?

00:19:57.200 Stop.

00:19:57.780 Stop.

00:19:58.200 What is the answer to that?

00:19:59.600 The answer is, well, they don't.

00:20:01.380 It's at the end of the bill.

00:20:05.020 And so it's only going to raise it in 2024.

00:20:07.880 And the idea is that way they can get the money and say, oh, no, we're actually it's not going to cost that much for this.

00:20:15.280 So the for the CBO.

00:20:17.040 But they know that no one in Congress is going to allow those taxes to go up in 2024.

00:20:21.420 So they're just kicking the can down the road.

00:20:23.060 That's the answer.

00:20:24.000 Wait until you hear his.

00:20:25.820 Glenn Beck.

00:20:26.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:34.880 We have to stop listening to the the the television news, quite honestly, on both sides.

00:20:44.060 We have to stop listening to it.

00:20:45.360 We have to stop listening to the people who are telling us supposedly the truth because they're giving us a spin, an agenda that is is not true.

00:20:57.960 It's just not true.

00:21:00.820 And so we're looking, OK, what is the truth on the tax bill?

00:21:05.340 What is the truth on the tax bill?

00:21:07.000 OK, if I said to you that the Republicans have in their tax bill, which is true, a raise of tax on the middle class.

00:21:21.980 And I asked you, Stu, why would they do that?

00:21:26.180 What's the actual answer?

00:21:27.920 A, is that true?

00:21:28.940 And B, why would they do that?

00:21:30.840 First of all, it's not really true.

00:21:32.600 Right.

00:21:33.100 What do you mean?

00:21:33.640 It's not true.

00:21:34.180 It's in the tax bill.

00:21:35.080 Yeah, it's not.

00:21:35.900 Uh, there are parts in the tax.

00:21:38.180 So there are multiple things in the tax bill.

00:21:39.760 For example, the Senate bill has individual tax cuts that expire in I think it's 2024.

00:21:47.960 So what happens is they when the CBO scores these bills, they have to score them out for 10 years. 0.99

00:21:55.500 It is a very stupid part of the bill. 0.99

00:21:58.060 I'm not a fan of it. 1.00

00:21:58.920 But what it does is basically has these tax cuts expire.

00:22:02.200 So it looks so they can justify that they stayed within the requirements that they had to use to get only 50 votes instead of 60.

00:22:10.980 So they they make up rules, right, to say, OK, we need to only get 50 votes, but it has to be within this particular parameter.

00:22:17.620 So it's not even a tax raise.

00:22:19.940 They're not raising taxes.

00:22:21.440 They're just allowing the cut to expire.

00:22:24.680 Right.

00:22:24.960 And it's so it's basically an accounting trick.

00:22:26.940 This is not something I'm a fan of, by the way.

00:22:28.840 But if you look into 10 years from now, some of these tax rates, the tax payments will be higher.

00:22:37.960 But everyone assumes that in seven years they will just, OK, well, the middle class is going to have their taxes go up and no one's going to want to vote for a middle class tax hike.

00:22:47.300 So what will happen is they'll just continue those tax breaks.

00:22:50.520 Even Obama did that.

00:22:51.720 Correct.

00:22:51.920 Bush tax.

00:22:52.680 OK, so there you go.

00:22:54.100 That's the truth.

00:22:55.260 Now, listen to how the news has spun this.

00:23:01.320 What would be the justification in your mind that Republicans would have for raising taxes on lower income people?

00:23:08.820 Because they, you know, they spend all of their income.

00:23:11.020 So why would why raise taxes on them?

00:23:12.940 Listen, it's scary.

00:23:14.260 It really defies comprehension.

00:23:17.420 Now, listen, maybe they think that the poor have it so easy that they need to have to pay more taxes.

00:23:25.260 To force them to go out and work more.

00:23:28.040 Stop.

00:23:28.600 Stop.

00:23:29.240 Maybe that's it.

00:23:30.340 Maybe that's it.

00:23:31.240 I mean, I'm just I the most logical thing I can come up with is that the GOP just thinks the poor has it so easy that they need to go out and work to pay more taxes.

00:23:45.380 Is there in anyone's in anyone's imagination?

00:23:51.920 Is there anyone that thinks even politically that's anything but insanity?

00:23:58.500 It's obviously not something obviously is true.

00:24:01.120 Correct.

00:24:01.760 Correct.

00:24:02.400 OK, next.

00:24:04.160 It really the amazing thing is that people seem to be accepting this so meekly and mildly. 0.91

00:24:11.840 But it's really akin to rape. 0.93

00:24:15.760 It's akin to rape. 0.82

00:24:19.280 Wait, so rape victims are acting meekly and mildly.

00:24:22.380 Is that that's what that's what happens with rape victims? 1.00

00:24:24.860 That's a new one.

00:24:25.400 I hadn't heard that.

00:24:26.060 This is this is, by the way, a former Reagan policy advisor.

00:24:30.180 OK, so I don't know if he has some sort of mental disorder that has made him forget or he's changed his mind on a bunch of things or whatever.

00:24:43.120 And he also is unable now to figure out reality.

00:24:47.520 But this is the kind of stuff that we have to stop on our side.

00:24:53.820 We have to stop saying it about the left and the left has to stop saying it about us.

00:24:58.820 And I have no I have no real hope or belief that anybody in the media is going to stop doing that.

00:25:06.300 None.

00:25:07.060 Zero.

00:25:07.660 Nobody in Washington stop doing that.

00:25:09.020 But you can stop accepting it.

00:25:12.300 We have to stop accepting it.

00:25:15.980 And stop saying, OK, yeah, that's probably what's happening because that's not what's happening.

00:25:21.780 I think someone who worked in the Reagan administration would really understand that and that the left referred to tax cuts during that administration as the exact in the exact same way.

00:25:30.720 He just wanted to hurt poor people.

00:25:32.380 He thought they were all welfare queens that didn't want to go out and work. 0.98

00:25:36.620 That was never true.

00:25:37.880 It was always and look at the results of those Reagan tax cuts.

00:25:41.420 The results were incredible for the economy.

00:25:43.680 Yeah, they actually helped the poor in the long run.

00:25:48.300 They helped the poor.

00:25:50.160 I mean, if you look at some of the things that were said by the by the left, I really love the Patton Oswalt tweet.

00:26:16.120 But after after after the after the tax bill was passed in the Senate, he tweets, there's no America now, not the one we knew.

00:26:29.640 Sorry, feeling real despair this morning.

00:26:33.100 It's amazing.

00:26:36.000 First of all, the bill hasn't passed it passed in the Senate.

00:26:40.860 They have to go and they have to basically come up with one version that both the House and the Senate can agree on.

00:26:45.780 They have to pass that.

00:26:46.740 Then it needs to be signed for to go into effect.

00:26:48.440 Secondly, the taxes, the rates they're talking about are much higher than they were during Reagan.

00:26:55.140 So like there it's yes, they're slightly cut from the Obama levels.

00:27:00.420 OK, but they're higher than they were during the Reagan times.

00:27:03.700 And the Bush times.

00:27:06.260 Yeah.

00:27:06.680 Yeah.

00:27:07.100 Depending on there's.

00:27:08.920 Yes.

00:27:09.820 Certain rates are higher than then.

00:27:12.840 But it's like, what is the point of this?

00:27:15.580 What is the what is the why?

00:27:18.740 Well, he's just talking about.

00:27:20.020 Is it just like I think it's just about real despair.

00:27:22.680 He's got real despair.

00:27:23.660 I mean, good.

00:27:25.480 No, I know.

00:27:26.220 No tax.

00:27:26.900 People get to keep more of their own money.

00:27:29.440 No, listen.

00:27:29.900 And this is another part of this.

00:27:31.300 I've talked to the people who, you know, we have rescued over in Iraq.

00:27:36.160 The the you know, with the Nazarene fund, the Christians that were held by ISIS and threatened.

00:27:42.120 They know real despair.

00:27:43.760 They got nothing to Patton Oswalt.

00:27:47.840 He's got real despair.

00:27:49.480 I've heard that ISIS might lower taxes as well. 1.00

00:27:52.180 And then that's the real tragedy will kick in.

00:27:54.520 But it's like here is a they're talking about this as if this is this incredible transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor.

00:28:01.200 You hear it all from the poor to the rich.

00:28:03.040 Excuse me.

00:28:03.440 You hear it over and over and over again.

00:28:05.880 Massive amounts of money are coming from the poor and they're going to the rich in this tax plan.

00:28:11.300 Well, ask yourself the obvious question.

00:28:14.080 If the poor had a lot of money to transfer to the rich, why were they poor?

00:28:20.440 They're if they have all this money to throw to the rich people, then they weren't poor in the first place.

00:28:27.080 And of course, the truth is they're not transferring any money to the poor.

00:28:31.320 What they're doing is they the money they had before was money that came from the rich.

00:28:36.920 It was people who were rich, rich people's money that was being transferred in large amounts to the poor.

00:28:42.760 And now slightly less of it is being transferred, although the poor will still get it.

00:28:46.980 We'll just go into deeper debt.

00:28:48.080 And I will tell you the nouveau rich, not the rich rich, not the George Soros rich.

00:28:53.320 No, not the Kennedy rich.

00:28:54.540 Yeah.

00:28:54.800 Riches in quotes and all of these.

00:28:56.460 Yeah.

00:28:56.900 Yeah.

00:28:57.140 Not the Bill Gates rich.

00:28:58.740 Not the Patton Oswalt rich.

00:29:00.520 No, those those that rich, that rich keeps their money because that rich takes everything and puts it into a trust.

00:29:07.740 And they they're just living off trust funds.

00:29:10.900 OK, that rich.

00:29:12.920 They're never George Soros and and Warren Buffett.

00:29:19.900 They're not worried about the income tax.

00:29:22.840 They don't worry about it ever.

00:29:25.180 And it's not because they have so much money.

00:29:26.900 They don't notice it.

00:29:27.720 No, they're never affected by it.

00:29:30.520 Because they have enough attorneys and enough money to go around.

00:29:33.800 They never pay it.

00:29:35.740 Do you know one of the we were talking about all the money in the world, the the new movie that is coming out?

00:29:40.700 Yeah, that's the one that Kevin Spacey got pulled out of after his accusations.

00:29:44.220 They replace him with Christopher Plummer.

00:29:45.720 Yeah.

00:29:45.820 One of the guys who was one of the richest men ever in the world.

00:29:50.400 OK.

00:29:51.780 He was an American.

00:29:54.260 One of the richest guy, John Paul Getty.

00:29:57.900 Getty oil.

00:29:58.720 He never paid more than five hundred dollars a year in income tax.

00:30:08.380 Those guys don't ever get hit because they don't take it in income.

00:30:14.240 So forget about all of this.

00:30:16.280 They're just helping the rich.

00:30:17.360 No, they're helping the new they're hurting the new entrepreneur.

00:30:22.580 That's who's getting hurt.

00:30:24.420 The people who are on their way to becoming wealthy.

00:30:28.980 Once you're really wealthy, you got nothing to worry about.

00:30:33.000 Not in America.

00:30:34.260 Here's the truth.

00:30:37.260 Forty four percent of Americans do not pay federal income tax.

00:30:42.440 Forty four percent.

00:30:44.340 The top one percent of Americans currently pay twenty seven percent of all federal taxes.

00:30:52.180 One percent pays twenty seven percent of all federal taxes.

00:30:56.900 So what what?

00:31:01.980 Wait, how are the poor who are spending all their money?

00:31:07.000 I mean, we don't have more than forty four percent of our country is poor, right?

00:31:12.380 Because the bottom forty four percent of our country pays zero in income tax.

00:31:18.980 And how do you cut that?

00:31:19.760 How do you cut from zero?

00:31:21.760 Their answer is give make it a negative rate.

00:31:24.960 Make it so that someone who's paying zero taxes is actually getting money from the government in that.

00:31:30.920 And and that is a transfer of wealth.

00:33:26.040 It was August 2014 that ISIS came into a small village and the men were separated from the women and all the men were executed.

00:33:40.340 They were executed because they were Christians.

00:33:42.280 The women were allowed to live. 0.99

00:33:46.360 One of those women was a mall. 1.00

00:33:50.140 She, her sister and her cousin were all taken and transferred to Mosul with all the other women in her village.

00:33:58.480 She was then prostituted to members of ISIS.

00:34:01.500 Her two sisters, their cousin, were given to three soldiers of ISIS as a gift.

00:34:07.520 The women were forced to travel with the men. 0.99

00:34:13.600 They carried out these activities all through the Nineveh province.

00:34:18.660 In total, they were held captive for almost two years.

00:34:23.540 They were just rescued.

00:34:26.560 Eventually, two of the three captors were killed, leaving the girls with a remaining captor who happened to be injured.

00:34:33.960 The Nazarene Fund was alerted by the Yazidi Rescue Network that the women were there.

00:34:40.240 We sponsored the rescue and returned them to their family.

00:34:44.200 They are now receiving trauma care and are starting the long recovery from two years as a slave from ISIS in the Middle East.

00:34:53.600 This is the kind of impact that you are having on Christians and Yazidis and religious minorities all around the world that are being taken, and they're being taken because of their faith.

00:35:08.500 The Nazarene Fund concentrates against ISIS, but we have expanded that now, and soon we will be going into Northern Africa as well.

00:35:19.460 You know, you can do a little hashtag, return our children, return our girls, but the hashtags don't work.

00:35:26.200 We've decided to take action.

00:35:27.920 We have a goal of $25 million in the next 12 months, and that will rescue hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of women and children who are being held as slaves.

00:35:42.660 We also are going after the organ trafficking market in the Muslim world, and it's nasty. 1.00

00:35:53.540 If you would like to make a difference, $5 makes a difference.

00:35:58.500 You know, pledge an Abraham Lincoln, a $5 bill every month to the Nazarene Fund and become an abolitionist and help us break up this slave trade in the Middle East and all around the world. 0.92

00:36:12.780 I think it's one of those things, too, that winds up falling a little bit out of our view because the battle against ISIS is going better, right?

00:36:28.700 Like, we've improved our standing when it comes to the actual—they've lost territory and everything else, and it kind of feels, I think, to me and I think to a lot of people, because it's not in the news every day.

00:36:38.180 We're not seeing the horror stories every day that this has stopped.

00:36:40.560 It hasn't.

00:36:41.080 So it's actually gotten—in some ways, it's gotten worse because now we've replaced ISIS with Iran, and the Iran brigade is now coming in, and they are actually advancing on the Yazidis and the Kurds.

00:36:56.880 Where ISIS, we had them at bay with the Yazidis and the Kurds, now Iran is advancing. 0.99

00:37:04.900 So it's a mess, and we feel we have about 18 months to do some real work to save these Christians in the Yazidis, and we sure could use your help. 0.97

00:37:15.840 We ask that you would help us get the word out and make a donation if you can.

00:37:34.900 After eight years of progressivism gone wild under President Obama, it is startling when something kind of actually conservative happens in the world.

00:37:51.620 Yesterday, President Donald Trump was in Utah to sign proclamations that reduce the size of two national monuments, Bears Ears and the Grand Staircase Escalante.

00:38:05.320 The monuments were created by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and keep in mind, all that Trump did yesterday was reduce the size of these monuments.

00:38:14.580 He didn't abolish them altogether, and he certainly, much to my chagrin, did not give the land back to the states.

00:38:21.880 However, Trump clearly hates the environment, and I think we all know that.

00:38:27.300 At least that's the predictable mainstream media take on what he did yesterday.

00:38:31.080 He just doesn't care about nature.

00:38:32.780 He wants to open up all the protected land so evil developers can swoop in and build condos.

00:38:39.560 Now, this kind of national monument I'm talking about is not a statue.

00:38:44.160 It's just land that Congress or a president is allowed to set aside and protect as a historic landmark of some kind.

00:38:53.440 Once the land is declared a national monument, it's closed to ranching and mining and recreation or development of any kind.

00:39:00.680 You're not walking on that land anymore.

00:39:03.320 Even if the local community doesn't want the land to be protected as a national monument, it doesn't matter.

00:39:08.860 In fact, often the local community actually needs the land to make things like, I don't know, a living.

00:39:16.240 The power to create national monuments comes from a provision in the 1906 Antiquities Act.

00:39:22.860 Here we go with the progressives.

00:39:25.180 It's a kind of provision, and it's like crack for progressives.

00:39:30.660 Bill Clinton and then especially Barack Obama went crazy during their presidency, scooping up ridiculous amounts of land for the federal government as national monuments.

00:39:40.480 Obama declared more national monuments than any other president in history.

00:39:44.660 Congress has only declared 30 monuments in the 111 years since the act.

00:39:50.820 Barack Obama and Bill Clinton declared 41 monuments just between the two of them.

00:39:56.520 Now, Trump is being criticized for his unprecedented use of presidential power.

00:40:02.120 To undo the unprecedented use of presidential power by the last president that they didn't seem to have a problem with.

00:40:10.040 He reduced the size of Bears Ears by 85 percent, the Grand Staircase by 50 percent.

00:40:19.120 Nobody was nobody was talking about unprecedented use of presidential power to create 265 million acres of new national monuments.

00:40:31.040 The left didn't care because they thought that was heroic.

00:40:35.260 President Trump is not a conservative.

00:40:38.360 This is not the action that I would have taken it, but it is a good step in the right direction.

00:40:46.880 He should be applauded for the rare thing that it is a conservative principle actually put into practice.

00:40:56.040 Local control of land usage makes sense.

00:40:59.280 These federal lands belong to the state as the Supreme Court has ruled two times in history.

00:41:10.440 Federal government just will not give it back.

00:41:14.000 That's what really needs to happen.

00:41:16.740 But Obama's federal land grabs were an absolute overreach.

00:41:20.200 And there is nothing wrong with Trump trying to fix that abuse.

00:41:24.560 It's Tuesday, December 5th.

00:41:34.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:37.160 Today's a pretty important day in the court system.

00:41:41.080 Today is the day that Jack Phillips goes to the Supreme Court.

00:41:46.680 He is the owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop, and he refused to custom design a cake to help celebrate a gay wedding.

00:41:55.600 And as a Christian, he says, I can't advance the message of gay weddings and gay unions because it's it's wrong, according to my religious belief. 0.98

00:42:08.920 But he said, I'll send you I'll sell you cupcakes. 0.52

00:42:11.240 I'll sell you cakes.

00:42:14.040 I'll sell you anything.

00:42:14.800 I just can't do the wedding cake. 0.97

00:42:17.420 So he has no problem serving gay people.

00:42:21.060 In fact, going another step, he has refused to make cakes for several people that weren't gay because he said, I don't agree with the message that you want to put on the cake.

00:42:34.340 I'm sorry.

00:42:35.160 You want a topless woman with big bazoombas, you know, made out of icing. 1.00

00:42:39.640 I don't do that.

00:42:41.020 I won't do that. 0.99

00:42:42.160 And gay. 0.98

00:42:43.620 So he has a law. 0.95

00:42:45.820 He has a very strong anti bazoomba stance here.

00:42:48.800 Very strong.

00:42:49.420 I hope that's supported by the Constitution.

00:42:51.000 I don't know.

00:42:51.360 I don't know.

00:42:51.940 I don't know that it is.

00:42:53.020 I don't know.

00:42:53.560 But we have somebody on the phone that might know David French.

00:42:57.860 And David, I won't start with the bazoomba clause in the Constitution.

00:43:02.960 But you wrote a great article and you said that you are you're going crazy by the way this is being misrepresented.

00:43:12.540 And Jennifer Finney Boylan is really the head of the snake on this one from The New York Times.

00:43:19.880 Yeah, it's a remarkable it's the most misrepresented Supreme Court case I've ever encountered.

00:43:27.940 And here's how it's being misrepresented.

00:43:29.700 Essentially, what people are saying is this this cake designers decision not to design a cake that advances that advances a point of view that he objects to is the same as segregated lunch counters.

00:43:42.440 It's the same as refuting, refusing medical treatment to LGBT people. 0.92

00:43:47.660 I mean, the parade of horribles that you're that you see spun out from this case is absolutely unbelievable.

00:43:54.740 Explain if you hit the nail on the head.

00:43:57.080 Explain to me why this isn't the lunch counter of the 1950s.

00:44:00.660 Well, it's it's very easy.

00:44:04.120 He doesn't discriminate on the basis of identity.

00:44:07.900 What he does is he decides not to advance certain messages that he agrees with.

00:44:12.720 So if you're black, white, gay, straight, male, female and walk into his bakery, you're going to be served.

00:44:19.280 There's it is you're going to be served regardless of your identity, regardless of your membership in a protected class.

00:44:26.580 But if you ask him to use his artistic talent to design a cake or any other thing that sends a message that he disagrees with, like in some of these cases, it was like a Halloween message.

00:44:39.180 Then he's not going to do that.

00:44:41.100 And and this is just common sense.

00:44:43.360 This is normal.

00:44:44.160 Wait, wait, wait.

00:44:45.000 Is it because the witches had big bazoombas? 0.90

00:44:47.100 Is that what it was?

00:44:50.360 Well, I we I've not explored that.

00:44:52.800 OK, all right.

00:44:53.580 Well, you should look into it.

00:44:54.740 I know you're a serious thinker.

00:44:56.900 She goes on.

00:44:58.160 The New York Times says this and you just use this word, his artistic ability.

00:45:03.340 She wrote in The New York Times, Mr.

00:45:04.820 Phillips certainly makes nice looking cakes, but I'm not sure I'd call them artistic expressions, at least not the same senses, say, Joyce's Ulysses.

00:45:15.100 That argument demands that the court get into the business of defining art itself, a door that justices open at their own peril.

00:45:23.120 It's a well manicured lawn, a form of art by this definite by this definition.

00:45:27.960 How about lean corned beef sandwiches?

00:45:30.560 Would they not be art if the court rules to protect icing and buttercream?

00:45:34.500 You know, that is so unbelievably absurd.

00:45:39.420 Here's what she is intentionally avoiding. 0.72

00:45:42.100 The actual cake that this the gay couple settled on to celebrate their wedding was a rainbow cake.

00:45:48.960 Now, are you going to tell me that that doesn't send a very clear message that a well manicured lawn doesn't send or a corned beef sandwich doesn't send?

00:45:58.380 She's acting as if the court has to decide the very definition of art itself when all the court has to decide is in this case, was he being asked to engage in artistic expression?

00:46:09.180 And this goes to something George will sadly and mistakenly wrote just the other day.

00:46:14.320 He said he made much the same point that this isn't art.

00:46:18.220 It's primarily food.

00:46:19.580 Are you going to tell me that a wedding cake is primarily food?

00:46:23.380 Is that why people spend thousands of dollars sometimes?

00:46:26.220 I have to make sure that it's just my father above Pillsbury.

00:46:29.300 My father, my father, my father was a baker, but he was he made wedding cakes and he spent Fridays and Saturdays making wedding cakes.

00:46:39.820 And they were they were pieces of art and they took him forever.

00:46:45.620 And it took him years and years and years of study and practice to be able to practice that art.

00:46:53.580 And people would come from all over to get his wedding cakes.

00:46:57.540 There is a difference.

00:46:58.860 Otherwise, you just get a wedding cake at a Costco.

00:47:02.720 Right.

00:47:03.640 I mean, all you have to see, all you have to do to know that it's art is like do a Google image or Google image search for beautiful wedding cakes and you'll see amazing things.

00:47:13.640 So you feel like people are being intentionally obtuse here.

00:47:17.780 Everybody knows when one of the centerpieces of an entire wedding reception is the cake.

00:47:23.960 It is one of the most talked about elements of the entire of the entire reception.

00:47:28.520 And is in.

00:47:29.480 Yeah, nobody wants it to taste badly, but they're talking about it because of the way it looks, the way it expresses a view of the ceremony, the way it expresses the personality of the couple.

00:47:40.760 All of that is undeniably artistic.

00:47:43.760 And so, again, this is the most misrepresented case I've seen.

00:47:48.500 They misrepresent the nature of what Jack Phillips did and they misrepresent the nature of his work.

00:47:53.220 Is this about art or is this about advancing a message?

00:47:59.100 Well, it's a well, in this case, it's it's it's both.

00:48:03.160 It's about using your artistic ability to advance a message and whether or not the state can force you as an artist to use your artistic ability to specifically advance a message.

00:48:15.040 And that would run counter to generations of First Amendment case law generations that say you cannot be compelled to advance a message that you disagree with.

00:48:26.380 So most Americans, as you point out, most Americans, if a white customer came in and said, I want a Confederate flag clan cake.

00:48:39.680 If if that was an African-American baker, we would all say he doesn't have to make that man. 1.00

00:48:46.900 He doesn't have to make that.

00:48:48.020 Right.

00:48:48.220 OK, we'd all we'd all understand that and it would be fine.

00:48:52.600 Now, if that baker said, I'm not serving any white people and I'm not serving you anything, we still would understand. 0.93

00:49:01.800 I'm not I'm not going to serve you because you're a clan member.

00:49:06.440 We'd still even understand it.

00:49:08.360 But we would say it was wrong.

00:49:10.900 This is this is this is that you can't compare these two.

00:49:15.020 Well, yeah, you know, I mean, even when the specific art doesn't send a very specific message.

00:49:21.660 Now, think of remember when Melania and Ivanka Trump were getting ready for the inaugural ball and all these designers said, I don't want to lend my artistic ability to design dresses for Melania and Ivanka.

00:49:33.620 Well, that was their right.

00:49:35.060 They don't have to use their artistic talents to support a political family they disagree with, even though Melania and Ivanka are women and women are protected class and public accommodation statutes. 0.98

00:49:47.120 So, you know, this time and again, you can come up with these counterfactuals and time and again, people on the left go, oh, well, that's different.

00:49:55.640 Oh, that's different.

00:49:56.360 Well, how is it different?

00:49:57.340 And then they'll go segregated lunch counters, Jim Crow. 1.00

00:49:59.740 So, well, they'll say on they'll say on her, she doesn't she wasn't born that way.

00:50:05.920 She wasn't born that way.

00:50:07.340 Born a woman.

00:50:08.100 She was born a woman and women disproportionately wear dresses. 1.00

00:50:10.920 So, you know, or a person who wants a confederate filet cake is disproportionately white.

00:50:16.740 It's the same logic that they're using to try to claim their sexual orientation discrimination here.

00:50:21.940 They say, well, it's a disproportionately gay people would want a same sex wedding cake. 0.97

00:50:26.220 So, therefore, it's discrimination on the basis of status, which is false.

00:50:31.160 So should I mean, just just to make this point, should Melania or someone sue those?

00:50:38.820 I guess she'd be the only one withstanding sue those people to make the point that you don't have to make a dress for me. 1.00

00:50:47.560 If you don't want to, you're an artist.

00:50:49.560 You don't have to make that dress for me.

00:50:51.100 Well, you know, I do think if this decision turns out against Jack Phillips, people will start to do that, that you will start to see these kinds of lawsuits popping up around the country where, say, for example, conservatives will then try to force progressives to advance their point of view.

00:51:09.100 And then, you know, we're going to get into this mess where we've seen this happen before.

00:51:14.860 And what ends up happening when it's a particularly important sexual revolution issue to the court, often they'll carve out these distortions in the First Amendment. 0.92

00:51:23.520 They did one for a long time, and it became known as the abortion distortion, where if you were protesting abortion, magically you would end up with fewer free speech rights than virtually anybody else.

00:51:33.680 What we're seeing in the clash between sexual liberty and free speech is all too often courts are carving out specific exceptions and specific and special rules to help advance sexual liberty at the expense of First Amendment freedoms.

00:51:48.600 Talking to David French. David, I'm fascinated by this use of kind of a classic left-wing thing to say, which is that the courts can't define art.

00:51:56.680 They've been saying that forever, but it's always used the other way when something that might not be art, it's always used to include everything is art.

00:52:05.540 And in this one case, they can't find any art in a beautiful wedding cake.

00:52:09.600 A mason jar with piss and a crucifix is art, but this cake is not.

00:52:13.840 But this cake is not. Isn't that a complete reverse of the way they usually use that argument?

00:52:17.300 Oh, absolutely. For generations, there have been progressive lawyers arguing to expand the definition of protected speech under in the First Amendment, and many times doing so rightfully, many times doing so in ways that have advanced all of our liberties.

00:52:32.940 But now, all of a sudden, this thing that is obviously, to any person, any objective, reasonable observer is an artistic expression.

00:52:42.180 Suddenly, it's primarily food. 0.83

00:52:47.120 Well, it's primarily piss.

00:52:50.280 So let me just ask you this last question. 0.98

00:52:53.420 We've got to cut you loose.

00:52:54.480 The court is hearing this case today.

00:52:59.840 The swing vote is Kennedy.

00:53:01.920 Kennedy has already ruled in a way that looks like you should rule in favor of the baker.

00:53:11.360 What do you think is going to happen?

00:53:12.460 Well, you know, if Kennedy holds to some of the language that he wrote in the Obergefell decision, then I think Jack Phillips will win.

00:53:20.620 I mean, in the Obergefell decision, Kennedy acknowledged that there are deep differences, religious differences in particular, about the definition of marriage, and that the Obergefell decision was not designed to force anyone to profess agreement with a definition of a marriage that differs from the courts.

00:53:39.280 It differs from the Obergefell opinion.

00:53:42.500 And in that circumstance, if Kennedy holds to that logic and holds to that reasoning and also holds to his own history of First Amendment jurisprudence, then Jack Phillips should win.

00:53:52.420 But, you know, of course, we'll see.

00:53:54.340 Yeah, anything could happen.

00:53:56.360 Aliens could come down and just hold a conference on the steps of the Supreme Court, and it wouldn't surprise me at this point.

00:54:02.520 David French, thank you so much.

00:54:04.400 David French, senior fellow and writer of National Review.

00:54:09.280 We'll tweet out his article.

00:54:11.780 You can go to at Glenn Beck or at World of Stew to get it.

00:54:15.160 Your mortgage rate depends on a whole bunch of things.

00:54:17.920 Global economy, the loan you choose, how many points you pay, a whole bunch of variables go into this.

00:54:24.060 And this is the reason why you really should have, as a homebuyer, pre-approved.

00:54:29.340 You should get your stuff pre-approved and get the guidance before making any offer on the home.

00:54:34.820 Plus, another thing, if you are a veteran and you have not used your VA benefits with interest rates this low, now is the time to get a new home or to refinance.

00:54:45.400 Great way to start is to get talking to the salary-based mortgage experts at American Financing.

00:54:52.660 The most important thing is they're salary-based.

00:54:55.320 They're working for you.

00:54:57.140 They are not working for the banks.

00:54:59.060 Usually, with a mortgage company, the banks give the mortgage people a bonus if they sell their what's called a mortgage instrument or a loan instrument.

00:55:12.660 When they sell that instrument from the bank, the bank says, hey, thank you very much.

00:55:16.360 We're going to give you extra.

00:55:17.040 So they're pushing things.

00:55:18.600 That's not the case with American Financing.

00:55:20.580 They're trying to find the right one for you.

00:55:23.940 American Financing, 800-906-2440.

00:55:27.540 That's 800-906-2440.

00:55:31.080 Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:55:33.800 Online, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:55:36.780 American Financing Corporation, NMLS, 182334.

00:55:40.580 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:55:46.660 Glenn, back.

00:55:50.580 Glenn, back.

00:55:56.720 Wow, this is stunning.

00:55:59.260 I don't know where this even came from.

00:56:01.060 Who would have seen this coming?

00:56:02.780 John Conyers is retiring today.

00:56:05.900 He's got some health issues.

00:56:07.960 Oh, no.

00:56:08.640 Any other issues?

00:56:09.920 Nothing pops in mind?

00:56:12.800 Nothing that would be on Wikipedia later.

00:56:14.600 No.

00:56:15.000 No.

00:56:15.580 Nothing.

00:56:16.280 Okay.

00:56:16.880 So he's retiring today.

00:56:18.580 It's time for change.

00:56:19.720 It is.

00:56:20.240 I think that's why.

00:56:20.840 It is.

00:56:21.400 And he's a change maker.

00:56:22.820 He is.

00:56:23.180 And so he is recommending change.

00:56:26.660 Big change.

00:56:27.460 Well, a different...

00:56:28.560 So who's going to replace him?

00:56:30.160 He's almost irreplaceable.

00:56:32.740 Right?

00:56:33.300 Right.

00:56:33.620 Right.

00:56:33.900 You'd have to find the right person to replace him.

00:56:35.720 Who replaces John Conyers?

00:56:37.580 Right?

00:56:37.960 No one.

00:56:39.020 Except John Conyers.

00:56:40.260 He's the third.

00:56:43.080 So he's endorsing his son for the seat.

00:56:46.640 Yeah.

00:56:46.660 Because he'll be a lot like his dad.

00:56:48.780 And there is a couple of things that might spring to mind where that might be a problem.

00:56:54.960 Like, for instance, John Conyers, you know...

00:56:58.020 The third?

00:56:58.720 No, the junior.

00:57:00.640 Mm-hmm.

00:57:00.960 Oh, okay.

00:57:02.440 He has to take a pill to make things, you know, bubble up.

00:57:06.640 He hasn't had sex drive in 50 years, is what you're saying.

00:57:09.080 Okay.

00:57:09.360 I would imagine the third, you know, can stand on his own.

00:57:13.260 Yeah.

00:57:13.440 Probably not a good...

00:57:14.440 Probably not a...

00:57:15.900 Maybe not the right choice for that particular seat.

00:57:18.320 So, but it'll be the choice.

00:57:20.040 Oh, totally.

00:57:20.960 Totally.

00:57:21.300 We all know how these things turn out in the end.

00:57:23.180 Of course, John Conyers wins the seat, and you say he holds it for 50 years.

00:57:26.420 I think Americans have always liked the Duke and Duchess idea, you know, the prince, and,

00:57:34.660 you know, the king retires and gives his seat to his son.

00:57:38.540 That's such an American idea.

00:57:40.860 Yeah.

00:57:41.340 That we've always embraced.

00:57:43.460 We always loved it.

00:57:44.300 Since the 1700s.

00:57:45.440 Big fans.

00:57:46.100 Big.

00:57:46.460 Big fans.

00:57:47.100 Big fans.

00:57:47.640 So, we're going to miss you, John.

00:57:50.040 We're going to miss you.

00:57:52.620 Glenn Beck.

00:58:03.580 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:06.280 So, today's a big day in the court system.

00:58:09.580 Today, the courts are hearing a plea to be able to sue the President of the United States.

00:58:17.620 The woman who was a contestant on The Apprentice, who absolutely loved Donald Trump.

00:58:26.600 He, according to her, he asked her to join him in his hotel room when he was in town at the Beverly Hills Peninsula, I believe it was.

00:58:36.640 And she went and they were supposed to have a conversation and he made sexual moves towards her and I believe said, you don't want me as an enemy.

00:58:48.980 And it was pretty bad what she said. 0.72

00:58:51.920 Donald Trump denied it, called her a liar in the press.

00:58:54.880 She is now suing for defamation.

00:58:57.380 The White House attorneys are saying that you can't sue the President.

00:59:01.480 He'll take this up after his term.

00:59:05.540 Just because of the Monica Lewinsky story, I don't think that's going to hold any water.

00:59:09.700 If that does, that means he's going to have to testify and go on record about what happened there, which is how it all began to fall apart for Bill Clinton.

00:59:22.180 But we'll see. Personally, I think that is the way this is going to that's what's going to lead next year.

00:59:28.540 I think is is that Russia alone, I don't think is going to be the only tact from the the left.

00:59:37.320 Now, we have Austin Peterson on because there's another case.

00:59:40.880 We were just talking about it.

00:59:42.100 The the wedding cake case is in front of the Supreme Court today.

00:59:47.920 And they're hearing whether or not a man's art has to be used to further someone's agenda.

00:59:56.780 If you have to do, you know, work for somebody that you disagree with this, this bakery has served gay people, everybody.

01:00:07.160 He has no problem.

01:00:08.600 He'll sell them anything.

01:00:09.500 He just will not decorate the wedding cake for their service.

01:00:14.580 They say that's wrong.

01:00:16.800 He says, I have a long history of, you know, I won't I won't.

01:00:20.200 For instance, he won't do Halloween cakes because of religious his religious fervor.

01:00:26.720 He doesn't agree with with Halloween.

01:00:28.780 So he doesn't make those cakes.

01:00:30.940 Nobody's suing about that.

01:00:33.260 We'll see what happens with the Supreme Court.

01:00:35.240 I wanted to get a libertarian on because I wanted to get somebody who I know agrees with gay marriage and would agree that you don't have to make a wedding cake.

01:00:46.800 To make the case here of why this is right to be able to have the freedom on both sides.

01:00:55.060 Austin Peterson, welcome to the program.

01:00:57.620 Glenn, thanks for having me back.

01:00:59.380 You bet.

01:00:59.780 You know, I wanted you on as you wrote back when we asked you, you wrote back and you said, I have to say, it's a hell of a time being a secular constitutional conservative running as a Republican and defending religious freedom for people who think I'm some sort of spawn of Satan myself.

01:01:17.220 But as Glenn Beck told me in our interview last year, the only time defending liberty matters is when you defend the liberty of someone who disagrees with you.

01:01:26.380 So talk to me about your position.

01:01:29.240 Right, right.

01:01:30.080 Well, that's what you mean.

01:01:31.640 I mean, you encapsulated it all right there.

01:01:33.580 I mean, the thing is, is that I think that he should make the cake, but I would never force him to do so.

01:01:38.660 But the thing is, is that we're talking about religious liberty and gay marriage when in reality, the heart of this argument is the issue of private property.

01:01:47.100 The question is, should any business have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason?

01:01:52.360 Well, they should, but that's not the world that we live in.

01:01:55.040 And now we have, even the best laid plans of mice and men can go wrong because what we've done is we've created these protected classes and everyone who is 40 years of age and older is protected class.

01:02:09.100 But if you're a white male 40 years of age or under, well, you're out of luck.

01:02:12.700 So I think that the problem is, is that now we're going to get into the question of whether or not the gay marriage question is under threat.

01:02:19.860 I think it's not. Justice Kennedy is going to be, I think, the crux of this and the decision is going to come down to him.

01:02:25.820 He did vote for Obergefell, but he's also found an expansive definition of free speech and religious liberty, which I think this clearly falls under.

01:02:33.720 No one should be forced to cake, should forced to bake the cake.

01:02:36.380 And that's why I asked Gary Johnson last year, should you force a Jewish baker to bake a cake for a Nazi wedding?

01:02:42.000 Well, of course, nobody believed that except for Governor Gary Johnson, for some reason.

01:02:45.920 I mean, even Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders didn't believe that because most people don't understand where these laws came from.

01:02:52.320 And that's the real problem is the sort of historical illiteracy that we have in the United States.

01:02:56.860 Can you just can you touch on that? Where did this law come from?

01:03:00.380 Absolutely. Well, in the 1960s, we had a stain of racism and Jim Crow.

01:03:05.220 Local governments were cracking down on blacks and the federal government had to step in and say, according to the 14th Amendment and according to the Constitution,

01:03:13.080 you cannot abridge the privileges and immunities of certain classes of people.

01:03:17.080 The Interstate Commerce Clause was used to say that people who are of color should be able to stay at hotels.

01:03:23.680 People of color should be allowed to sit at lunch counters.

01:03:26.060 And in the context of that time, it absolutely makes sense why the Civil Rights Act was passed.

01:03:30.420 But now, because of the Title II section of that definition, Title II stated that businesses are not private.

01:03:37.020 Businesses are public and you are not allowed to discriminate.

01:03:40.060 So now we have these discrimination laws that are being used for the reverse of what they were intended.

01:03:45.360 Right. And the discrimination laws. Yeah, good. 0.51

01:03:47.920 But they're not but they're not consistent.

01:03:49.560 I don't know if you remember the coffee shop owner in Seattle that kicked the anti-abortion people out of his coffee shop.

01:03:59.200 They weren't handing out flyers or anything.

01:04:01.260 Somebody came in and had a flyer that they had and said, hey, you know, these are the guys who are passing out these anti-abortion flyers.

01:04:10.120 The guy wigged on them, called them all sorts of names.

01:04:14.260 And they said, we're not passing it out.

01:04:16.140 We're not talking to anybody here.

01:04:17.600 We're just having coffee.

01:04:18.720 I don't want you in my store.

01:04:20.560 And he literally chased them out.

01:04:23.820 It was a really ugly scene.

01:04:25.520 I mean, I believe he has the right to do that, but I don't even think the court would stand against him on that one.

01:04:36.100 But they certainly will with a bakery because we're playing favorites now.

01:04:41.560 Right.

01:04:42.120 And the problem, of course, is that both sides don't seem to quite understand the true position of liberty in this one.

01:04:48.020 And that's the private property.

01:04:49.100 And, of course, the problem with defending liberty has always been that you end up defending scum or miscreants or the people like, you know, cigarette smokers who want to smoke inside bars and things like that.

01:05:00.540 So, you know, unfortunately, you have to stop creeping tyranny in its crib before it can grow and metastise to what it's become. 0.98

01:05:07.940 And again, no secret that the left hates Christians. 0.99

01:05:10.580 They hate white males. 0.99

01:05:12.360 And they will do anything they can to use the law to go and oppress those groups that they despise. 0.98

01:05:17.840 But, unfortunately, it will get used against them. 0.99

01:05:20.740 It will come back and bite them in the butt. 0.95

01:05:22.380 So I think that if we were to look at the true liberty position and say that anyone should have the right to refuse service, that doesn't mean that we condone it. 0.98

01:05:29.000 I don't condone racism.

01:05:30.760 I do think that that gay couples should have the right to get married.

01:05:34.680 I mean, honestly, the true position is that government shouldn't be in a marriage business at all.

01:05:38.360 But, you know, unfortunately, we can't have that.

01:05:40.780 So we have so we have to force governments to compel them to not abridge privileges. 0.99

01:05:45.040 So why how is this going to how is this going to come back and bite them in the butt? 0.96

01:05:50.020 How, if you are a liberal, do you not see what's coming? 0.99

01:05:53.700 What is coming?

01:05:55.280 Well, I think that the Christians will get fed up and they will turn around and they will claim discrimination against them.

01:06:00.880 And there will be court cases where they were, you know, where a gay a gay baker doesn't want to bake the cake for the Christian wedding and then they'll get sued and they'll come back. 0.72

01:06:09.380 And unless the court finds in favor of freedom now, which they absolutely should, the Department of Justice, the Trump administration have issued plenty of court briefs.

01:06:18.880 Many of the more libertarian law legal institutes, I believe, Institute for Justice as well, has filed legal briefs, funded the court briefs.

01:06:25.560 So this is the chance now to turn the tide against statism.

01:06:29.420 And it's not to say that discrimination isn't good.

01:06:31.980 We don't have to condone discrimination.

01:06:34.840 I don't think you should discriminate, but you should have the right to discriminate.

01:06:38.420 Because the problem is, is that everybody thinks that we should force people to be good.

01:06:43.520 Government's job is to force people to be good.

01:06:45.200 But I think that the role of government is to make us free, not to make us into better people.

01:06:50.180 That's what society is for.

01:06:51.700 Neighbors, families, friends, churches.

01:06:54.700 That's what this is all about.

01:06:56.160 And frankly, I mean, right now in Missouri, where I'm running for the Senate, these people, these Missouri voters are waking up to this.

01:07:01.940 And I think that we're going to get a change.

01:07:03.340 I think the court will find in our favor.

01:07:05.640 It's really an amazing thing to watch, Austin.

01:07:07.320 I'm talking to Austin Peterson, who is running for Senate in Missouri.

01:07:10.100 The New York Times talked about trying to give this wide definition of art, as if being a baker is not art.

01:07:18.900 Because this situation, and it's a little bit different than some previous cases where people were arguing more on the basis of religious freedom.

01:07:25.960 Really here, this case seems to be more argued on the basis of, can you compel an artist to advance a message that they don't like?

01:07:33.040 And we've had these situations with photographers, for example, that I don't know how you would deny would be art.

01:07:39.820 But they still seem to push back against this.

01:07:42.600 One of the examples the New York Times uses is, is a well-manicured lawn a form of art by this definition?

01:07:49.440 And they're trying to ridicule the idea that a cake could possibly be art.

01:07:52.660 But if you ever watch a sporting event, like the All-Star Game in Major League Baseball, they'll carve in, you know, symbols, artistic symbols into the lawn as they do this.

01:08:03.880 Even cutting a lawn can be artistic.

01:08:06.700 If a person...

01:08:08.540 Let me ask it this way.

01:08:09.520 If you were Mexican heritage, and you were in San Francisco, and the owner of the lawn said, I want you to cut in, build the wall in an artistic way, which side would the progressives argue for?

01:08:29.460 Exactly.

01:08:30.220 I mean, there's so many inconsistencies.

01:08:32.280 But frankly, I think both left and right have inconsistencies.

01:08:35.440 Yes.

01:08:35.540 The New York Times came out and said that Jack Phillips, who is the defendant in this case, is an artist.

01:08:42.980 It's not a stretch.

01:08:43.900 He uses his skills to make wedding cakes, and they are works of art.

01:08:49.180 But the adjutant, David Mullins and Charlie Craig, they are saying this is a civil rights issue.

01:08:55.040 But nobody is taking away their right to go to the cake baker next door.

01:08:59.180 I mean, it's not like there isn't competition.

01:09:01.380 And people just don't have faith in freedom.

01:09:03.580 They don't believe that a cake baker next door is going to say, hey, well, they're losing business.

01:09:08.620 I'm going to set up a shop next door.

01:09:10.540 Or what about a boycott?

01:09:12.140 What about the freedom of people to say, well, I don't like how this business operates, and I will choose not to go there.

01:09:17.700 So they lose business.

01:09:18.980 But people just don't have faith in freedom anymore.

01:09:21.360 I do.

01:09:22.060 I still believe in freedom.

01:09:23.380 That's what I'm fighting for.

01:09:24.740 And that's why I'm running for office again.

01:09:26.280 So how is that going to work out for you, Austin, in Missouri?

01:09:30.340 Well, I'll tell you, it's not going bad.

01:09:32.300 I mean, obviously, I'm not the favorite in this race.

01:09:34.820 I'm not the Mitch McConnell pick, but we have raised quite a bit of money.

01:09:38.400 We've got thousands of volunteers.

01:09:40.560 I've gotten some good endorsements.

01:09:42.480 People like Ben Shapiro have told people to support me, the true conservatives.

01:09:45.680 And what's strange is, is that even though I tried to run against them last year, a lot of the Trumpers like me, too.

01:09:50.700 But I think they kind of like me because I tell it like it is.

01:09:53.940 And even when I disagree with them on certain issues like the wall, perhaps, or maybe the troops urged in Afghanistan recently with the president,

01:10:00.900 I do agree with them on most of the issues, and they do like me.

01:10:04.220 I mean, the president said some nice things about my opponent the other day,

01:10:07.560 but then the Trumpers started calling into the radio show and saying, hey, Austin's our guy.

01:10:11.220 And I was like, okay, well, this is going to get interesting.

01:10:13.500 It is a wild world we live in now.

01:10:17.080 It's nuts.

01:10:18.480 Austin Peterson running for the U.S. Senate in Missouri as a Republican, a strong defender of freedom and a libertarian.

01:10:28.380 And if you are in Missouri, I strongly recommend that you check out his record and see if you don't agree with him more than you disagree.

01:10:36.720 If you are a constitutionalist, I think you're going to like a lot of what he has to say.

01:10:42.260 Austin Peterson, thank you very much.

01:10:44.480 Thanks, guys.

01:10:45.280 You bet.

01:10:45.520 If you want to get involved with Austin's campaign, you can go to AustinPeterson.com.

01:10:54.320 He's on Twitter at AP4Liberty.

01:10:56.300 Uber disclosed a breach of 57 million passengers and driver's records.

01:11:03.100 Hackers accessed personal information like the names and the driver's license and the numbers and the driver's names,

01:11:11.580 the email address and phone numbers of the passengers.

01:11:14.740 I mean, they got everything.

01:11:16.180 The breach was just recently announced.

01:11:20.760 It's kind of a problem if, you know, you have an identity and you used Uber because that means hackers have had your identity for a year.

01:11:30.780 The damage that could be done.

01:11:33.240 Now, if you're monitoring your credit only, your identity can be stolen in ways you're never going to detect.

01:11:38.880 That's why LifeLock is here.

01:11:40.840 LifeLock watches all of it.

01:11:55.060 And if there's a problem, a U.S.-based identity restoration specialist is going to work to fix it.

01:12:01.140 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

01:12:23.180 Glenn Beck.

01:12:31.400 Glenn Beck.

01:12:32.380 We have a really great hour coming up for you.

01:12:36.760 Next hour, we have some laughs, an amazing story of really, I think, would you say it's a miracle?

01:12:48.100 Kind of?

01:12:49.240 Yeah.

01:12:49.680 I mean, in some ways, it's really bad luck.

01:12:51.940 Yeah.

01:12:52.200 I mean, it's like there's a new book out called Left Standing, and it's the story about a guy who was, I mean,

01:13:01.520 was in the Boston bombing, the Paris bombing, and the Brussels bombing.

01:13:07.860 So he experienced three terror attacks, like in the hospital with his whole face, like, you know,

01:13:14.900 he's the invisible man because he had, what was it, third degree burns on his face.

01:13:19.620 I mean, really, really bad.

01:13:22.340 He's there at all three.

01:13:25.740 Now, you kind of think, okay, dude, what is the deal?

01:13:31.380 It's the reason why we didn't have him in the studio.

01:13:32.920 He's going to be on the phone.

01:13:33.920 We don't want to be anywhere near him because the luck of this guy.

01:13:37.740 But his faith is what has brought him through all of this.

01:13:43.200 And I just, I can't imagine, wouldn't you say, Stu, God, what is, I mean, hello?

01:13:52.080 It would be hard not to really question things after being involved in, you know, you're in three terrorist attacks.

01:13:57.900 You'd be like, why me?

01:13:59.160 What is the deal?

01:14:00.540 What is the deal?

01:14:01.200 Why me?

01:14:01.520 And maybe this is the deal, right?

01:14:02.700 Maybe telling the story and talking about that struggle is the deal.

01:14:07.660 Maybe that's why he was there in those three places.

01:14:10.060 I would like to hear his perspective on it because I'm sure he's done a little bit of thinking about what his life is supposed to mean after going through three terrorist attacks.

01:14:18.640 Really amazing.

01:14:19.740 I mean, I didn't, I think I heard this story, you know, when it first came out, I heard, oh, this guy has been, but I don't think I've, I've heard the story told where he is.

01:14:30.180 He's, he's at the bombing of, of Boston and then he's in Paris and he's involved in that one.

01:14:38.220 And then in Brussels, he's standing there and he's blown up and burned up.

01:14:42.660 You'd be like, oh, imagine being his parents.

01:14:48.100 It's gotta be a incredible thing to go through.

01:14:50.940 Incredible.

01:14:51.300 Incredible.

01:14:51.920 Great story of faith.

01:14:53.920 He's going to be on with us here in a second.

01:14:55.540 It's actually a new book called left standing Billy Hall Hallowell's good friend of ours and formerly with the blaze is one of the co-writers back.

01:15:07.120 I'm looking ahead to next week.

01:15:08.760 If you have blue apron, you, we've got a choice of a bunch of different menu items that would come to you.

01:15:13.620 Beef medallions and brown butter caper sauce, a seared chicken and mashed potatoes, basil pesto and broccoli pasta, which looks amazing.

01:15:21.740 Vegetable lo mein, Thai curry chicken.

01:15:24.200 All of these things are coming to you if you're on blue apron, which is kind of amazing because they send all these ingredients to your house.

01:15:31.060 You might look at these things.

01:15:31.840 You're like, I can't, they might, I might be able to make them, but it's not going to look like that.

01:15:35.300 It actually does look like that because they walk you through step by step how to make these things taste and look as delicious as they do in the pictures.

01:15:42.160 It's really incredible and it's easy to do even if you have this kitchen talent of me, which is basically zero.

01:15:48.700 Check out this week's menu.

01:15:49.520 Get $30 off your first order with free shipping by going to blueapron.com slash stew.

01:15:53.740 You'll love how good it feels and tastes to create incredible home-cooked meals with blue apron.

01:15:57.480 So don't wait.

01:15:58.080 It's blueapron.com slash stew.

01:16:00.260 Blue Apron, a better way to cook. 1.00

01:16:02.060 Blue Apron, a better way to cook. 1.00

01:16:32.060 Jaguars or I remember when I went to the Barack Obama second inauguration and I took a bus trip from Jacksonville to Washington, D.C.

01:16:43.880 And it cost me $89,852.

01:16:49.640 These are just some of the ways the former U.S. Representative Corrine Brown used the funds from her charity, One Door for Education.

01:16:59.240 The $800,000 that was donated to the charity under the pretense that it would be used for scholarships was actually used, you know, for Beyonce concerts and stuff.

01:17:10.440 Of the $800,000, only two scholarships were ever awarded.

01:17:15.700 And they added up to, let me see, carry the one, $1,200.

01:17:22.780 Wow.

01:17:24.540 She served 25 years in Congress.

01:17:28.600 She is now going to serve some time in prison. 0.99

01:17:32.460 Five years.

01:17:33.500 During the sentencing, the federal judge called Brown's actions especially shameless.

01:17:40.600 He continued, said this was a crime born out of entitlement and greed, committed to ensure a lifestyle that was beyond her means.

01:17:50.100 Think of the good that Corrine Brown could have done with that money instead of throwing lavish birthday parties with $800 cakes or gone shopping. 0.91

01:17:59.200 Think of the children she could have helped.

01:18:02.260 Now her legacy is one of avarice, greed, and unnecessary Beyonce concerts. 1.00

01:18:09.200 A legacy that is far worse than even Ebenezer Scrooge.

01:18:22.140 It's Tuesday, December 5th.

01:18:24.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:29.200 I want to introduce you to a guy named Mason Wells.

01:18:35.680 Mason was an Eagle Scout and awarded a trip to Paris, France.

01:18:42.320 He served as a missionary over in France.

01:18:47.380 He's now the United States Naval Academy.

01:18:50.560 But I'm not talking to him about those things.

01:18:53.700 That's not what got our attention.

01:18:56.040 What got our attention is Mason Wells is a guy that happened to be at the Boston bombing, the Paris terrorist attack, and was significantly injured in the Brussels attack.

01:19:13.480 I don't know of anybody else that, I mean, besides people who might have been involved, were at all three locations.

01:19:23.040 And I can't imagine what it must feel like and how many times you must say, why me?

01:19:31.700 There's a new book out, authored by Mason and a good friend of the program, Billy Hollowell, called Left Standing, and it's about his faith and what he has gone through.

01:19:44.220 Mason, welcome to the program.

01:19:46.300 Yeah, thank you so much for having me, Glenn.

01:19:47.720 So, you know, we were talking about this, and, you know, it's one of the reasons why we wanted just to have you on the phone and not here at the studio.

01:19:56.120 You have really bad luck.

01:20:03.520 Tell me about being in three terrorist attacks.

01:20:09.280 Oh, I think I actually have pretty good luck that I'm still here.

01:20:12.140 My first experience with terrorism was at the 2013 Boston Marathon, and my mom was running the marathon.

01:20:21.360 Me and my dad were there to support her, and me and my dad were actually 50 meters away when the first bomb went off at the finish line.

01:20:27.900 So being young at the time, that was scary for me.

01:20:31.580 Fast forward, now I'm serving as an ecclesiastical missionary in France,

01:20:35.840 and I was actually in the city of Rouen at the time of the Charlie Hebdo shootings,

01:20:39.300 and then in the city of Cali at the time of the Paris attacks.

01:20:43.800 And to have those things go on in, you know, the headquarters of our mission,

01:20:48.880 a place where we always were on the streets that we proselyted,

01:20:52.340 it left me with a lot of questions and a lot of reflections.

01:20:56.660 And then I was 10 feet away when the first bomb went off in the Brussels airport,

01:21:00.460 and that one there put me in the hospital for a good two months.

01:21:03.940 Yeah, we saw you, we saw pictures of you all wrapped up, you had third-degree burns to your face,

01:21:10.920 your leg had some contraption, you know, trying to piece it back together.

01:21:16.820 I mean, you were seriously injured there.

01:21:19.920 What was going through your head?

01:21:24.440 Well, when I was first injured in Brussels,

01:21:28.140 I actually thought I had died when the first bomb went off.

01:21:31.120 If you can imagine that you're standing there for a moment,

01:21:34.440 and suddenly everything explodes,

01:21:37.480 that's what was happening to me, and I didn't know what was going on.

01:21:40.520 When I opened my eyes a couple seconds after the blast and looked around,

01:21:44.320 there was no one standing but me.

01:21:45.940 Everyone else had been knocked down to the floor.

01:21:48.200 My friends had been knocked out,

01:21:50.080 and I couldn't see more than a few feet in front of me.

01:21:51.980 So I made my way out of that airport one step after another

01:21:56.780 on a ruptured Achilles tendon, completely severed,

01:21:59.840 with straps on my legs, burns to my hands, into my face.

01:22:02.800 And when I got out of the airport and my leg collapsed,

01:22:05.920 I was kind of faced with, you know, these two roads in front of me.

01:22:09.820 I could either embrace bitterness, embrace anger, embrace frustration,

01:22:12.840 or make the best of what was going on

01:22:16.220 and choose to have hope that I would come out of this all right.

01:22:18.560 And I chose the latter.

01:22:20.660 So I was faced with a very bleak future,

01:22:24.320 you know, quite literally laying in a,

01:22:26.680 and I pulled my own blood on that sidewalk.

01:22:28.400 But through the grace of God

01:22:30.480 and through some mental decisions I made, I'm still here.

01:22:34.660 So what was the darkest moment here?

01:22:41.620 Did you have a real struggle in faith,

01:22:46.020 or were you prepared spiritually to meet some of these things?

01:22:54.200 Well, I think that God prepares all of us for the things in our lives.

01:22:58.200 I was blessed that day to be comforted when I was injured,

01:23:02.460 but I did experience a lot of things afterwards

01:23:05.240 that led me to questions about my faith

01:23:07.380 and led me to develop a deeper faith.

01:23:10.260 It prompted me to ask, you know,

01:23:11.760 why do bad things happen to good people?

01:23:13.880 Where is justice in all of this?

01:23:15.520 So what is God's plan for me?

01:23:17.080 And those sorts of questions, those questions of the soul,

01:23:19.700 they're things that take time.

01:23:21.520 And, you know, some of my reflections, of course, from the book,

01:23:23.840 but a lot of, you know,

01:23:25.860 what I've learned about adversity

01:23:27.220 and getting through trials came during my darkest moments,

01:23:31.060 and there definitely were those dark moments.

01:23:33.300 So what did you come to the, you know,

01:23:37.760 what was the conclusion, you know,

01:23:41.120 why is this happening?

01:23:42.620 Why does God, you know, where is God?

01:23:45.860 I mean, you're serving a mission.

01:23:47.940 You're blown up.

01:23:49.040 And if I'm not mistaken, weren't you going home?

01:23:51.800 Weren't you on your way home?

01:23:53.460 I was about four months away from going home.

01:23:55.320 Four months away.

01:23:55.800 I was paying another missionary off.

01:23:56.720 Yeah.

01:23:57.120 So I was pretty close.

01:23:58.220 All right.

01:23:58.540 So, I mean, what was the conclusion?

01:24:01.540 Why were you, why does God let this happen?

01:24:04.400 Well, you know, I've asked myself many times

01:24:08.640 why God allowed this to happen to me

01:24:10.520 and why I'm alive when other people

01:24:12.960 that were farther away from the bottom were killed.

01:24:14.760 But ultimately, I've come to find out for myself

01:24:17.580 that God allows adversity to happen in our lives

01:24:20.060 knowing that it will make us stronger,

01:24:21.360 knowing that we have a chance to come out on top

01:24:24.540 to allow these things to change us for the better

01:24:26.660 or for the worse.

01:24:28.340 One thing I've learned for sure is that God is there

01:24:30.420 when we're willing to look for Him

01:24:33.980 and ask for His help.

01:24:35.020 And ultimately, choosing to have hope

01:24:37.560 amid the challenges in our lives

01:24:39.720 is the difference between finding peace

01:24:42.380 and being bitter about what's going on.

01:24:45.500 Honestly, I think just having a positive attitude,

01:24:48.100 making every single day a new day

01:24:50.520 and realizing that every single day

01:24:51.920 was a chance for me to change,

01:24:53.420 that mindset is what carried me through my recovery.

01:24:55.860 And I can positively say that, you know,

01:24:59.520 the line that divides success from failure

01:25:01.460 is attitude much more than it is outcome.

01:25:05.600 So I just told a story yesterday about Corrie Ten Boom

01:25:09.320 who had a hard time forgiving and extending love

01:25:13.860 to the people that, you know, in particular,

01:25:17.980 one of the guys who was a guard in the showers.

01:25:21.300 And she really, really had a hard time after the war

01:25:25.900 forgiving him and loving him.

01:25:27.220 And did you have, how do you feel about the people

01:25:32.260 that, you know, have brought so much death

01:25:35.120 and destruction?

01:25:39.260 You know, that's a deep question.

01:25:42.600 It's a good question.

01:25:44.000 Ultimately, I've forgiven the people that did this to me,

01:25:46.060 but it doesn't make what they did permissible.

01:25:48.180 And, you know, I've actually prayed to God for them

01:25:52.280 that God would have mercy on them.

01:25:53.500 But I know very well that God is a God of mercy

01:25:56.880 and a God of justice.

01:25:58.320 And I hope they can go on living in the next life

01:26:01.640 the best they can, given the guilt

01:26:03.140 that they'll undoubtedly bear.

01:26:06.200 But, you know, that being said,

01:26:08.040 just because I've forgiven,

01:26:08.720 it doesn't make what they did okay.

01:26:10.500 It's not permissible to do these things.

01:26:12.220 It's the epitome of evil, what they did with evil.

01:26:14.740 And I think that you can embrace forgiveness

01:26:18.500 and also draw a hard line between good and bad.

01:26:21.100 Mason, if you were to win an all-expenses-paid vacation,

01:26:25.660 would anyone go with you?

01:26:29.200 Besides Tom Hanks.

01:26:31.480 You know what?

01:26:32.900 It's crazy as hell.

01:26:33.960 I mean, I'm not scared to travel the world.

01:26:35.480 I'm not scared to take public transportation.

01:26:38.480 That wasn't the question.

01:26:40.700 The question is,

01:26:41.820 is anyone else comfortable with you being around?

01:26:45.980 I mean, you know,

01:26:49.740 if you were to give me an all-expenses-paid trip

01:26:51.260 to Tunisia or something,

01:26:52.440 I don't know if I'd go there right now.

01:26:53.780 Right, okay, all right.

01:26:55.280 But I mean, you know,

01:26:57.300 we can't let these things hold us back.

01:26:59.240 We can't let, you know,

01:27:00.060 these moments and exacts define our lives.

01:27:02.380 Did you at any time

01:27:03.660 have a moment where you're like,

01:27:07.280 I'm cursed or there's something wrong

01:27:12.040 or what am I doing wrong

01:27:14.240 or I'm afraid to go places?

01:27:16.260 Was there any time

01:27:17.240 that that started to happen to you?

01:27:19.560 Well, I have to admit,

01:27:20.700 there was a time,

01:27:21.360 I think it was about three days after

01:27:22.520 I was injured in Brussels,

01:27:23.540 that I was sitting in bed

01:27:24.440 and I just kind of looked up

01:27:25.920 and I just asked,

01:27:26.620 you know, really?

01:27:27.520 Again?

01:27:30.800 I guess I didn't learn

01:27:32.440 what I needed to do the first time.

01:27:33.700 Okay, you're clearly telling me something.

01:27:38.440 What is it?

01:27:39.920 Yeah.

01:27:40.360 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:41.320 So, you know,

01:27:42.360 obviously, you know,

01:27:43.380 I've thought about that.

01:27:44.900 I choose to focus less on the past,

01:27:47.900 you know,

01:27:48.060 that's why these things happened

01:27:49.120 and folks want to be in the future,

01:27:50.620 just making every single day

01:27:51.760 a great day

01:27:53.000 and making every single day

01:27:53.940 a day I want it to be

01:27:54.880 because, you know,

01:27:55.600 I'm still here

01:27:56.040 and I'm grateful to be alive.

01:27:57.900 Mason Wells,

01:27:59.140 author of Left Standing.

01:28:01.880 Thank you so much.

01:28:02.940 Best of luck.

01:28:04.300 Yeah, thank you so much

01:28:05.040 for having me, Glenn.

01:28:05.720 Alert me.

01:28:06.320 If you're ever on a flight

01:28:07.360 and you see me,

01:28:08.500 alert me.

01:28:09.060 I need to get off.

01:28:10.440 Will do.

01:28:11.180 Will do.

01:28:11.800 Thanks a lot, Mason.

01:28:12.720 Merry Christmas.

01:28:17.160 The book is Left Standing,

01:28:18.480 the miraculous story

01:28:19.220 of how Mason Wells' faith

01:28:20.740 survived the Boston,

01:28:22.540 Paris,

01:28:23.380 and Brussels terror attacks.

01:28:26.260 It's an amazing story.

01:28:27.500 Mason Wells.

01:28:28.360 What?

01:28:29.820 Osama bin Laden

01:28:30.740 survived all of them.

01:28:32.680 Oh, no,

01:28:33.020 no, he didn't actually.

01:28:33.860 Actually, no.

01:28:34.360 He didn't actually.

01:28:35.780 But, yeah,

01:28:37.300 that's an amazing story.

01:28:38.260 The Brussels,

01:28:38.740 I mean,

01:28:38.880 there's been so many

01:28:39.440 of these attacks

01:28:40.040 by, you know,

01:28:41.300 largely Islamic extremists

01:28:42.560 around the world.

01:28:43.300 The 2016 Brussels bombings,

01:28:45.460 32 killed,

01:28:46.360 over 300 injured.

01:28:47.780 You'll remember

01:28:48.280 the security camera tape

01:28:51.760 of the guys walking

01:28:52.560 through the airport.

01:28:53.560 Yeah.

01:28:54.260 But, I mean,

01:28:55.000 there's been so many

01:28:56.720 of these,

01:28:57.060 particularly in Europe,

01:28:57.920 and it's amazing

01:28:59.300 that this is

01:29:00.340 10 feet away

01:29:02.060 from the bomb.

01:29:02.660 Yeah,

01:29:02.780 and ISIS did claim

01:29:04.460 responsibility for that

01:29:05.640 afterwards

01:29:06.500 to be able to

01:29:07.780 muster the strength

01:29:08.960 of will

01:29:09.440 to forgive ISIS

01:29:12.820 while obviously

01:29:14.540 acknowledging

01:29:15.040 what they do

01:29:15.820 is not right.

01:29:16.460 It's an amazing story.

01:29:18.680 It's left standing.

01:31:22.540 Glenn Beck

01:31:32.620 So I'm worried

01:31:33.400 about revisionist history

01:31:34.660 I think many

01:31:35.380 in our audience are

01:31:36.300 that you know

01:31:37.320 precious things

01:31:38.620 are being lost

01:31:39.320 over decades

01:31:40.280 but there is

01:31:41.940 a there's a new

01:31:43.340 pattern emerging

01:31:44.220 that is even

01:31:45.260 more terrifying.

01:31:46.600 Yeah I mean

01:31:46.920 quickly on this

01:31:47.400 Roy Moore thing

01:31:47.940 the thing that's

01:31:48.700 concerning is

01:31:49.420 it's getting

01:31:49.880 harder and harder

01:31:50.900 to put together

01:31:51.900 a logical sense

01:31:53.060 like sequence

01:31:54.260 of events

01:31:54.820 to justify

01:31:56.160 all of his

01:31:57.180 behavior and excuses.

01:31:58.700 There was another

01:31:59.700 because of him

01:32:00.840 not because of

01:32:01.920 the stories

01:32:02.620 but because of him.

01:32:03.780 there was another

01:32:04.600 person who came

01:32:05.900 out with a card

01:32:07.480 that was written

01:32:08.060 to them

01:32:08.560 one of the accusers

01:32:09.520 that had a very

01:32:10.700 similar signature

01:32:11.440 to what was on

01:32:12.400 it was in the

01:32:14.220 yearbook

01:32:15.100 but this part is

01:32:16.980 I can't

01:32:17.760 I have a real

01:32:18.220 problem with.

01:32:19.020 Here is Roy Moore

01:32:19.720 at an event

01:32:20.480 just the other night

01:32:21.640 talking about

01:32:22.760 these accusers.

01:32:23.840 Let me state

01:32:24.420 once again

01:32:25.020 I do not know

01:32:25.820 any of these

01:32:26.360 women 1.00

01:32:26.700 did not date

01:32:27.780 any of these

01:32:28.260 women 1.00

01:32:28.540 have not engaged

01:32:29.320 in any sexual

01:32:30.020 misconduct

01:32:30.560 with anyone.

01:32:31.900 Now that is a

01:32:33.580 wait blatantly

01:32:35.180 false statement.

01:32:36.600 Okay.

01:32:37.320 Now what evidence

01:32:38.520 do you have

01:32:39.220 that that's

01:32:39.700 blatantly false?

01:32:40.580 He just said

01:32:41.680 he doesn't know

01:32:42.860 them he never

01:32:43.640 dated them

01:32:44.400 and he never

01:32:45.280 had sexual

01:32:45.820 relations with

01:32:46.580 any of them.

01:32:47.580 My source on

01:32:48.840 this would be

01:32:50.360 Roy Moore.

01:32:51.440 Here he is

01:32:52.080 talking to Sean

01:32:52.820 Hannity in his

01:32:53.480 interview.

01:32:53.840 After the

01:32:54.200 accusers came

01:32:54.740 out.

01:32:55.120 I do not

01:32:55.880 remember speaking

01:32:56.680 to a civic

01:32:57.440 class.

01:32:58.200 I don't

01:32:58.620 remember that.

01:32:59.600 I do not

01:33:00.080 remember when

01:33:00.820 we I seem

01:33:02.000 to know

01:33:02.340 remember knowing

01:33:03.340 our parents

01:33:04.040 that they were

01:33:05.720 friends.

01:33:06.880 I can't recall

01:33:07.620 specific dates

01:33:08.680 because that's

01:33:09.540 been 40 years

01:33:10.380 but I remember

01:33:11.140 her as a

01:33:13.800 good girl

01:33:14.500 but neither

01:33:16.320 of them have

01:33:17.000 ever stated

01:33:17.760 any inappropriate

01:33:19.800 behavior.

01:33:21.200 She didn't

01:33:22.000 say anything

01:33:22.700 that they

01:33:23.560 well she 0.97

01:33:24.120 said let

01:33:24.560 me but do

01:33:25.220 you remember

01:33:25.760 ever going

01:33:26.560 on a date

01:33:27.060 with her

01:33:27.520 she said

01:33:28.120 that you

01:33:28.860 asked her

01:33:29.260 out on

01:33:29.660 the first

01:33:31.000 of several

01:33:31.660 dates but

01:33:32.400 nothing progressed

01:33:33.260 beyond kissing.

01:33:34.120 I don't remember

01:33:35.280 specific dates

01:33:36.320 and I do not

01:33:37.060 and I don't

01:33:37.560 remember if it

01:33:38.500 was that time

01:33:39.520 or later

01:33:40.020 but I do not

01:33:41.780 remember that.

01:33:42.740 But you know

01:33:43.360 her but you

01:33:44.080 never dated

01:33:44.740 her ever.

01:33:45.480 Is that what

01:33:45.740 you're saying?

01:33:46.760 Know her but I

01:33:47.540 don't remember

01:33:48.360 going out on

01:33:49.640 dates.

01:33:50.160 I knew her as

01:33:50.780 a friend.

01:33:51.700 If we did go

01:33:52.420 out on dates

01:33:52.980 then we did

01:33:54.000 but I do not

01:33:54.660 remember that.

01:33:56.180 So he knows

01:33:57.380 her.

01:33:57.780 And in

01:33:58.040 earlier in the

01:33:58.980 interview he

01:33:59.520 says both of

01:34:00.740 their names.

01:34:01.360 Gloria Thacker

01:34:02.140 Deason and

01:34:02.700 Debbie Wesson

01:34:03.600 Gibson.

01:34:04.180 He mentioned

01:34:04.580 specifically those

01:34:05.700 two.

01:34:05.900 And he said

01:34:06.140 I remember

01:34:07.000 their moms.

01:34:07.900 I talked to

01:34:08.360 their moms.

01:34:08.640 I remember

01:34:08.780 talking to

01:34:09.060 their moms.

01:34:09.680 And Debbie

01:34:10.420 Wesson Gibson

01:34:11.200 is the person

01:34:12.160 who has just

01:34:13.500 come up with

01:34:16.040 the card with

01:34:17.280 Roy's signature

01:34:18.180 on it.

01:34:18.580 The one he

01:34:18.900 said he knew.

01:34:20.000 And now he's

01:34:20.600 saying he never

01:34:21.440 knew.

01:34:22.180 He's saying now

01:34:22.740 both of the

01:34:23.260 people he admitted

01:34:23.960 to knowing he

01:34:24.940 doesn't know.

01:34:25.620 So this is really

01:34:26.360 weird because it

01:34:27.800 always goes the

01:34:28.800 other way.

01:34:29.680 I didn't know

01:34:30.440 them.

01:34:30.760 I didn't know

01:34:31.340 them.

01:34:31.700 More evidence

01:34:32.400 comes out.

01:34:33.500 Okay.

01:34:33.900 I did know

01:34:34.620 them but I

01:34:35.140 never did any

01:34:36.000 of those things.

01:34:36.980 That's the way

01:34:37.600 it normally

01:34:38.120 goes.

01:34:38.740 Yeah.

01:34:39.000 This is okay.

01:34:40.380 I know them but

01:34:41.660 I never did any

01:34:42.300 of those things

01:34:43.140 too.

01:34:44.580 I didn't know

01:34:45.240 them.

01:34:45.500 I've never even

01:34:46.200 heard of them.

01:34:46.880 I don't know

01:34:47.300 them.

01:34:48.020 I don't know

01:34:48.300 who they are.

01:34:50.440 Billy Bush.

01:34:51.960 The tape.

01:34:53.820 The president.

01:34:55.340 Yeah.

01:34:55.880 Okay.

01:34:56.260 I apologize.

01:34:57.440 That was you

01:34:57.960 know locker room

01:34:58.700 talk to now.

01:35:00.720 I never said

01:35:01.660 that.

01:35:02.260 That was that

01:35:02.960 was that was not

01:35:03.860 my voice on

01:35:04.620 tape.

01:35:05.880 What?

01:35:06.720 Yeah.

01:35:07.560 You're right.

01:35:08.140 It doesn't

01:35:08.380 normally go that

01:35:09.100 way.

01:35:09.320 No.

01:35:09.480 The other way.

01:35:10.460 I mean look I

01:35:11.160 fully expect Roy

01:35:12.080 Moore to win

01:35:12.580 that race.

01:35:13.740 I mean I don't

01:35:14.820 think he's going

01:35:15.360 to lose it unless

01:35:16.080 unless there's

01:35:16.680 another huge

01:35:17.320 Alabama bombshell.

01:35:18.920 Yeah.

01:35:19.020 I mean that's

01:35:19.380 how their

01:35:19.660 system works

01:35:20.240 right.

01:35:20.740 He's not

01:35:20.980 being accused

01:35:21.360 of a crime.

01:35:22.420 I mean you

01:35:23.160 know he's

01:35:23.480 saying of

01:35:23.740 criminals it

01:35:24.240 would have

01:35:24.440 been a crime

01:35:24.760 at that time

01:35:25.380 but it's long

01:35:26.120 past that's

01:35:26.720 he's not going

01:35:27.200 through legal

01:35:27.620 proceedings now.

01:35:28.460 It's just a

01:35:28.960 matter of whether

01:35:29.480 you believe him

01:35:30.100 or not.

01:35:30.740 And I hate that

01:35:31.340 standard.

01:35:31.660 Would you vote for him?

01:35:31.880 I wouldn't have

01:35:32.600 voted for him

01:35:33.060 anyway.

01:35:33.560 I like Mo Brooks

01:35:34.980 quite a bit and

01:35:36.900 would have been

01:35:37.180 very happy with

01:35:37.840 him as the

01:35:38.300 candidate as we

01:35:39.540 talked about at

01:35:40.140 the time.

01:35:40.660 Yep.

01:35:41.380 He was a

01:35:42.160 really good

01:35:42.540 conservative.

01:35:43.380 You've got a

01:35:43.780 candidate that's

01:35:44.440 going to cause you

01:35:45.020 real danger.

01:35:46.140 This is not a

01:35:47.820 grand slam here.

01:35:50.280 This is not an

01:35:50.740 easy thing to

01:35:52.020 happen.

01:35:52.340 Yeah.

01:35:52.620 But I do

01:35:53.160 expect him to

01:35:53.700 win.

01:35:53.860 The polls are

01:35:54.280 fairly close

01:35:55.040 there but I

01:35:55.600 don't think it's

01:35:56.440 going to wind up

01:35:56.860 being close unless

01:35:57.480 there's another

01:35:58.080 big bombshell that

01:35:59.380 comes out.

01:36:00.160 It's possible.

01:36:01.640 You know if

01:36:01.880 something were to

01:36:02.400 really prove him

01:36:03.200 wrong.

01:36:03.400 But honestly I

01:36:04.280 would be stunned

01:36:05.500 that America in 0.90

01:36:06.380 2017 did not put

01:36:07.480 this guy in office.

01:36:08.300 I'd be stunned.

01:36:11.480 We would take him

01:36:12.520 out if he was the

01:36:13.300 head of 7-Eleven but

01:36:15.120 we will put him in

01:36:16.320 to be in the

01:36:17.460 Senate.

01:36:21.540 Glenn

01:36:21.940 back.

01:36:22.580 This is the

01:36:29.540 Glenn Beck

01:36:29.880 program.

01:36:30.640 Welcome to the

01:36:31.140 program.

01:36:31.740 A couple things

01:36:32.560 that we're

01:36:33.820 watching.

01:36:34.440 First of all we

01:36:35.300 got to get the

01:36:36.740 writer of the

01:36:38.300 article that said

01:36:39.260 that doing an

01:36:41.660 interview with

01:36:42.360 Pence's wife

01:36:43.860 said that

01:36:46.120 Donald Trump

01:36:47.340 was what did

01:36:48.480 she call him?

01:36:49.640 Vile and 0.99

01:36:50.560 reprehensible. 0.67

01:36:51.620 But I think she

01:36:52.080 meant that with

01:36:52.460 love.

01:36:54.260 Don't you feel

01:36:54.900 that way?

01:36:55.260 Now they're

01:36:56.540 distancing

01:36:56.940 themselves from

01:36:57.780 that and saying

01:36:58.220 that's not true.

01:36:59.140 What are they

01:36:59.700 going to say?

01:37:00.340 Yeah my wife

01:37:01.020 hates him.

01:37:01.640 Oh my gosh.

01:37:02.400 She can't stand 0.52

01:37:02.960 that guy.

01:37:03.500 Oh my gosh.

01:37:03.960 Yeah.

01:37:04.520 She thinks he's 1.00

01:37:05.240 a pig. 0.99

01:37:06.580 Yeah that's not 0.99

01:37:07.280 good.

01:37:07.660 Yeah they have to

01:37:08.220 deny that.

01:37:08.880 Yeah.

01:37:09.840 Here's another

01:37:10.600 thing.

01:37:11.100 This is where

01:37:11.880 to me this is

01:37:15.000 where I think

01:37:15.580 this Russia thing

01:37:16.800 is going to get

01:37:18.260 bogged down and

01:37:19.460 going to bear

01:37:20.920 possible fruit.

01:37:22.440 if you are

01:37:23.680 looking to

01:37:24.800 Barry Kushner

01:37:26.200 or Trump

01:37:27.260 the one of

01:37:30.740 the guys who

01:37:31.460 was the guy

01:37:33.920 who you know

01:37:34.780 was gagged

01:37:37.100 by the government

01:37:37.980 one of the

01:37:38.560 informants on

01:37:40.080 the Russian

01:37:40.740 deal said

01:37:42.400 where you

01:37:42.960 really need to

01:37:44.200 look in to

01:37:45.540 collusion with

01:37:47.440 Trump is in

01:37:48.860 the business

01:37:49.280 dealings.

01:37:49.780 you'll find it

01:37:50.680 in the bank

01:37:51.640 records.

01:37:53.140 So it looks

01:37:55.340 like the FBI

01:37:56.380 has just

01:37:57.460 subpoenaed

01:37:58.360 Deutsche Bank

01:37:59.200 for financial

01:38:00.960 information on

01:38:02.200 Donald Trump

01:38:02.960 and his

01:38:04.260 kids.

01:38:05.600 Deutsche Bank

01:38:06.660 has already

01:38:07.780 had rulings

01:38:09.800 against them

01:38:10.440 and faced

01:38:11.120 severe fines

01:38:11.980 because they

01:38:13.580 have been

01:38:14.360 convicted of

01:38:15.660 money laundering

01:38:16.740 for the

01:38:17.180 Russians.

01:38:18.780 And the

01:38:19.420 day,

01:38:20.180 let's see

01:38:20.540 here,

01:38:20.820 was it the

01:38:21.200 day before

01:38:21.920 several weeks

01:38:22.760 ago?

01:38:23.100 Let's see,

01:38:23.500 blah,

01:38:23.680 blah,

01:38:23.840 blah.

01:38:26.060 One month

01:38:26.960 before election

01:38:27.740 day,

01:38:29.120 Jared Kushner

01:38:30.560 finalized a

01:38:32.180 $285 million

01:38:33.780 loan from

01:38:34.860 Deutsche Bank

01:38:35.700 as part of a

01:38:37.980 refinancing

01:38:38.700 package.

01:38:40.420 The Deutsche

01:38:41.280 Bank has

01:38:42.380 already received

01:38:43.060 $630 million

01:38:44.140 in penalties

01:38:44.920 because it's

01:38:45.600 involved in a

01:38:46.260 $10 billion

01:38:46.720 Russian money

01:38:49.240 laundering scheme

01:38:50.120 that involved

01:38:51.680 the banks in

01:38:52.440 Moscow,

01:38:52.880 New York,

01:38:53.440 London.

01:38:56.160 Apparently,

01:38:56.980 that's where

01:38:57.520 a lot of

01:38:57.920 bones are

01:38:59.080 buried and

01:39:00.840 bodies are 0.54

01:39:01.360 buried.

01:39:01.940 We'll see,

01:39:02.820 but they are

01:39:03.520 now moving

01:39:04.160 into the

01:39:05.480 banking of

01:39:07.040 Donald Trump.

01:39:07.660 I tend to

01:39:08.340 believe most

01:39:08.680 of this stuff

01:39:09.080 is, a lot

01:39:10.460 of it's

01:39:10.700 overblown,

01:39:11.540 at least.

01:39:12.220 But do you

01:39:12.720 remember one

01:39:13.200 of the main

01:39:13.540 pitches during

01:39:14.760 the campaign

01:39:15.320 was Trump

01:39:15.880 saying, if

01:39:16.420 you put

01:39:16.860 Hillary Clinton

01:39:17.460 in, it's

01:39:17.880 going to be

01:39:18.120 non-stop

01:39:18.620 investigations.

01:39:19.900 That was

01:39:21.060 like a

01:39:21.320 selling point.

01:39:22.400 I guess at

01:39:23.000 this point,

01:39:23.540 any president

01:39:24.160 who's in

01:39:24.540 there is

01:39:24.760 going to

01:39:24.920 be investigated

01:39:26.340 over something

01:39:27.120 or be in

01:39:27.520 the middle

01:39:27.740 of some

01:39:28.100 controversy.

01:39:28.640 I don't

01:39:28.860 think Hillary

01:39:29.280 would be.

01:39:30.440 I don't

01:39:30.940 think Hillary, 1.00

01:39:31.440 I'm not sure

01:39:31.980 they would

01:39:32.240 have done

01:39:32.440 this against

01:39:32.900 Hillary.

01:39:33.680 I'm not

01:39:33.980 sure.

01:39:34.920 Maybe.

01:39:35.440 Yeah,

01:39:35.760 probably.

01:39:36.260 I mean,

01:39:36.660 well, she'd

01:39:37.000 have the press

01:39:37.460 on her side.

01:39:38.460 So that would

01:39:39.100 call off some

01:39:39.700 of the dogs,

01:39:40.260 I think.

01:39:40.860 So it depends

01:39:41.840 on who she

01:39:42.280 had as

01:39:43.020 vice president.

01:39:43.780 If they liked

01:39:44.540 the vice

01:39:45.020 president, it

01:39:45.680 was like, if

01:39:46.300 she would

01:39:46.580 have had

01:39:46.800 Cory Booker

01:39:47.420 as her

01:39:47.720 vice president,

01:39:48.760 they would

01:39:49.200 have fed

01:39:49.660 her to 0.94

01:39:50.120 the dogs.

01:39:51.160 They would

01:39:51.760 have fed

01:39:52.200 her to 0.94

01:39:52.420 the dogs.

01:39:53.260 But maybe

01:39:53.860 that's just

01:39:54.200 me.

01:39:54.500 Welcome to

01:39:54.840 the program,

01:39:55.900 Pat Gray.

01:39:56.520 Also, John

01:39:57.140 Conyers has

01:39:59.320 announced his

01:40:00.100 retirement as

01:40:01.080 of today.

01:40:02.440 Who saw that

01:40:03.140 coming?

01:40:03.560 Nobody.

01:40:04.180 I don't think

01:40:04.560 anybody saw

01:40:05.240 that.

01:40:05.840 Right?

01:40:06.300 Now, he's

01:40:07.040 in the hospital.

01:40:08.120 He's retiring

01:40:08.800 because of his

01:40:09.600 health.

01:40:09.920 This has nothing

01:40:10.540 to do with

01:40:11.020 the sexual

01:40:11.460 allegations.

01:40:12.240 The what?

01:40:12.500 The sexual

01:40:13.420 harassment

01:40:14.180 allegations.

01:40:14.940 I don't even

01:40:15.220 recall those.

01:40:16.160 What were

01:40:16.380 those?

01:40:17.400 Just vile, 0.99

01:40:18.620 awful people

01:40:19.300 saying mean

01:40:20.120 things about

01:40:20.700 John because

01:40:21.040 they don't

01:40:21.260 like him.

01:40:21.740 Right.

01:40:22.100 Okay.

01:40:22.580 Okay.

01:40:23.140 Yeah.

01:40:23.300 But he's

01:40:23.620 88 years

01:40:24.580 old and

01:40:25.560 some would

01:40:26.120 say maybe

01:40:26.660 it would

01:40:27.660 have been

01:40:27.860 time 20

01:40:28.720 years ago

01:40:29.280 to go.

01:40:31.300 Really?

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:32.200 He called

01:40:32.540 into a radio

01:40:33.160 show in

01:40:33.540 Detroit, the

01:40:34.280 Mildred

01:40:34.720 Gattis show.

01:40:35.720 Oh, huge.

01:40:36.280 I'm guessing

01:40:36.700 Mildred is

01:40:37.400 not a

01:40:37.960 millennial.

01:40:38.920 Oh, no.

01:40:39.340 The Mildred 0.90

01:40:40.140 Gattis show?

01:40:40.960 The last

01:40:41.400 baby ever

01:40:42.280 named Mildred.

01:40:43.740 It's got to be

01:40:44.280 at least 60

01:40:45.020 years ago.

01:40:45.520 That name is

01:40:46.480 huge in

01:40:47.220 Silicon Valley.

01:40:47.660 They stopped

01:40:48.340 with that name

01:40:49.020 right after they

01:40:49.940 stopped with

01:40:50.400 Gertrude and

01:40:51.380 I think they

01:40:52.360 retired both of

01:40:53.240 those names.

01:40:53.920 Mildred.

01:40:54.740 Mildred Gattis.

01:40:56.220 Apparently she's a 1.00

01:40:56.820 big deal in

01:40:57.340 Detroit so he

01:40:58.380 called in on

01:40:58.860 her show and

01:40:59.380 said as of

01:41:00.440 today he's

01:41:00.980 retiring and

01:41:02.100 he endorsed

01:41:02.680 his son.

01:41:03.280 What a surprise.

01:41:03.720 he endorsed

01:41:04.560 his son for

01:41:05.560 his seat.

01:41:06.120 That's so

01:41:06.820 good.

01:41:07.220 It's like

01:41:07.900 all right I'm

01:41:08.860 leaving but my

01:41:09.800 hand puppet is

01:41:10.840 staying.

01:41:11.980 All I'm going to

01:41:12.400 do is stick my

01:41:13.120 hand up its 0.99

01:41:13.700 butt and tell 1.00

01:41:14.880 it what to 0.91

01:41:15.280 say but you

01:41:15.640 won't see my

01:41:16.140 lips move.

01:41:17.560 So.

01:41:18.480 Wow.

01:41:18.820 I don't hear

01:41:19.400 this.

01:41:19.880 I don't hear

01:41:20.460 you say this

01:41:21.500 about Prince

01:41:22.360 Charles when

01:41:23.200 you know people

01:41:23.940 talk about Queen 0.89

01:41:24.720 Elizabeth dying.

01:41:26.160 She's going to

01:41:26.500 hand it to her

01:41:27.060 son.

01:41:27.240 That's actually

01:41:29.560 a different

01:41:30.300 system of

01:41:30.940 government.

01:41:31.960 It has actually

01:41:32.940 nothing to do

01:41:33.620 with a system

01:41:34.220 of government

01:41:34.780 anymore.

01:41:35.400 In fact I think

01:41:36.280 we fought against

01:41:37.360 that system of

01:41:38.320 government.

01:41:38.500 Even England

01:41:39.120 has basically

01:41:39.700 overturned that

01:41:40.500 form of

01:41:41.260 government.

01:41:41.700 England is even 0.93

01:41:42.660 saying we don't

01:41:43.420 want Prince

01:41:43.840 Charles.

01:41:44.420 That's bad.

01:41:44.640 That only

01:41:44.980 happened 200

01:41:45.640 years ago so I'm

01:41:46.820 glad they still

01:41:47.420 pretend.

01:41:48.320 We don't want to

01:41:49.160 stop pretending

01:41:49.840 that they have

01:41:50.620 power.

01:41:50.760 I mean John

01:41:51.180 Conyers was

01:41:51.640 almost alive when

01:41:52.680 it happened.

01:41:54.780 Think of that.

01:41:56.220 Think of that.

01:41:56.760 But he was

01:41:57.540 halfway there.

01:41:58.580 At the beginning

01:41:59.420 of his life we're

01:42:00.180 almost halfway.

01:42:01.920 That is

01:42:02.460 incredible to

01:42:03.400 think about.

01:42:04.220 It's incredible.

01:42:04.780 88 years old.

01:42:05.540 How many terms

01:42:06.160 was it?

01:42:06.600 27 terms.

01:42:07.640 27 terms.

01:42:09.780 It's unconscionable.

01:42:11.500 And then what

01:42:11.780 does he want to

01:42:12.360 do?

01:42:12.720 He wants to

01:42:13.480 quote unquote

01:42:14.040 retire so he

01:42:14.800 can essentially

01:42:15.380 extend his

01:42:16.100 family's reign.

01:42:17.080 Yeah.

01:42:17.420 I mean it is

01:42:18.200 ballsy.

01:42:19.960 It's as if we

01:42:20.480 hand this down

01:42:21.240 from I mean they

01:42:22.100 still have to

01:42:22.640 elect the guy.

01:42:23.800 But somebody's

01:42:25.020 going to be

01:42:25.280 appointed right

01:42:25.960 until they have

01:42:27.180 a special election.

01:42:28.240 No it will be

01:42:28.860 John Conyers

01:42:29.660 son.

01:42:30.420 Yeah.

01:42:30.660 John Conyers

01:42:31.340 the third.

01:42:31.820 Just like

01:42:32.480 Jesse Jackson

01:42:33.740 Jr.

01:42:34.480 And the way

01:42:35.940 they even

01:42:37.480 advertise these

01:42:38.200 races.

01:42:38.560 I remember

01:42:38.760 when we lived

01:42:39.180 in Pennsylvania

01:42:39.680 I used to

01:42:40.400 drive to these

01:42:41.520 studios the same

01:42:42.260 way every day

01:42:42.780 and I would go

01:42:43.280 through this one

01:42:43.860 area that had

01:42:44.660 during an election

01:42:45.420 and it would

01:42:45.820 just be vote

01:42:46.880 number seven.

01:42:48.840 Like not even

01:42:49.300 telling you what

01:42:49.980 the issue was.

01:42:51.100 Not even tell

01:42:51.740 you what the

01:42:52.180 name was.

01:42:54.700 Nothing.

01:42:55.260 It was just

01:42:55.640 vote number

01:42:56.560 seven.

01:42:57.560 So people would

01:42:58.080 see signs and

01:42:58.820 vote number

01:42:59.360 seven.

01:42:59.740 They get in

01:43:00.040 front of the

01:43:00.380 ballot it would

01:43:00.820 say number

01:43:01.180 seven.

01:43:01.680 They did say

01:43:02.200 vote number

01:43:02.940 seven.

01:43:03.820 So I better

01:43:04.120 vote for number

01:43:04.860 seven.

01:43:05.460 Wow.

01:43:05.640 Did you ever

01:43:06.080 look it up to

01:43:07.260 see what number

01:43:08.060 seven was?

01:43:08.880 I don't remember.

01:43:10.640 But did you

01:43:10.960 vote for number

01:43:11.640 seven?

01:43:12.180 Of course.

01:43:12.700 The sign said

01:43:13.540 vote number

01:43:14.080 seven.

01:43:15.120 There was no

01:43:15.580 other choice.

01:43:16.340 Are you not

01:43:16.700 going to do

01:43:16.980 what you're told

01:43:17.400 by the sign?

01:43:18.180 No.

01:43:18.500 But I think

01:43:19.580 like when you

01:43:19.980 go to when

01:43:21.560 these you know

01:43:22.260 this voting

01:43:23.060 constituency is

01:43:23.860 going to go to

01:43:24.260 the polls.

01:43:24.780 They're going to

01:43:25.020 see a name

01:43:25.520 that's familiar.

01:43:26.380 It's not maybe

01:43:26.940 it's just three

01:43:27.520 instead.

01:43:28.380 Half of them

01:43:29.040 won't even know

01:43:30.000 that it's not

01:43:30.540 the same John

01:43:31.260 Conyers.

01:43:31.940 Yeah.

01:43:32.740 And you know

01:43:33.400 that is just I

01:43:34.040 honestly think

01:43:34.800 because people

01:43:35.480 talk about

01:43:35.920 like ideology

01:43:36.880 is totally

01:43:38.700 backseat to

01:43:39.540 party.

01:43:40.200 But honestly I

01:43:41.100 think party

01:43:41.700 even is backseat

01:43:42.860 to name.

01:43:43.800 If you have

01:43:44.100 that name that

01:43:44.940 people recognize

01:43:45.700 they don't care

01:43:46.580 what the hell 0.89

01:43:47.200 you do. 0.99

01:43:47.600 They don't care

01:43:47.920 if you switch

01:43:48.280 parties 900

01:43:48.920 times.

01:43:49.580 They don't care

01:43:50.220 what it is.

01:43:50.880 If you're famous

01:43:51.740 and they know

01:43:52.580 you you're going

01:43:53.020 to get votes.

01:43:53.640 Well that's why

01:43:54.420 dead people have

01:43:55.140 been elected.

01:43:56.160 Wasn't that

01:43:56.380 Missouri where

01:43:56.880 that happened

01:43:57.320 years ago?

01:43:59.380 Yes.

01:43:59.960 A person won

01:44:01.440 the election.

01:44:02.480 Wasn't that

01:44:03.040 John Ashcroft?

01:44:03.660 I think it was.

01:44:04.540 John Ashcroft.

01:44:05.220 Was it Callahan?

01:44:06.180 It was Callahan.

01:44:08.500 His wife served

01:44:09.220 instead.

01:44:09.820 Yeah.

01:44:10.860 It was like

01:44:11.160 same last name.

01:44:13.060 They just knew

01:44:13.460 his name.

01:44:14.640 The fact that

01:44:15.120 he wasn't breathing

01:44:15.720 anymore didn't

01:44:16.380 mean anything to

01:44:16.980 the voters.

01:44:17.360 He'd probably

01:44:18.780 be better now

01:44:19.880 that he's not

01:44:20.460 treating.

01:44:21.400 I mean you know

01:44:22.360 wait a minute hang

01:44:23.040 on let's think

01:44:23.880 about this.

01:44:24.440 That's not that

01:44:24.840 bad.

01:44:25.340 That's not bad.

01:44:26.620 If we just elect

01:44:28.340 a congress full of 1.00

01:44:29.500 dead people

01:44:30.340 we might get

01:44:33.340 better laws.

01:44:34.300 Yeah it's going to

01:44:34.880 be a lot less

01:44:35.380 offensive.

01:44:36.160 I'll tell you that.

01:44:36.520 I can watch C-SPAN

01:44:38.140 all day long.

01:44:39.940 Be really quiet

01:44:40.780 fall asleep to it.

01:44:42.160 It would be

01:44:42.320 wonderful.

01:44:42.500 If they would

01:44:42.740 just wheel one

01:44:43.660 of them up once

01:44:44.340 in a while you

01:44:45.200 know just to prop

01:44:46.460 them up.

01:44:47.020 Somebody who's on

01:44:47.600 an iron lung not

01:44:48.520 quite dead yet but

01:44:49.440 just about to die.

01:44:50.260 No I want him 1.00

01:44:50.800 dead. 1.00

01:44:51.160 Okay. 1.00

01:44:51.600 I want him dead. 1.00

01:44:52.620 I want him dead. 1.00

01:44:53.040 And to be clear 1.00

01:44:53.840 we're talking about

01:44:54.420 people who are

01:44:55.060 previously dead to be

01:44:56.640 elected.

01:44:57.280 I say bring back

01:44:59.740 what Charlie McCarthy

01:45:01.520 or whatever that guy

01:45:02.480 whose name was.

01:45:03.040 Let's go back to

01:45:03.400 the founders man.

01:45:04.300 If we can pick

01:45:04.720 anybody let's go

01:45:05.360 back to the founders.

01:45:05.900 We want to have

01:45:06.540 some of the

01:45:06.940 I want the famous

01:45:08.360 ones too.

01:45:09.260 I want those guys

01:45:10.120 sure but I also

01:45:11.420 want the famous

01:45:12.140 guys.

01:45:12.760 I would like you

01:45:13.180 know who is the

01:45:14.140 guy that you know

01:45:14.860 beat the other

01:45:15.460 one with the with

01:45:16.600 the Kane Sumner.

01:45:19.160 Yeah that was

01:45:19.500 Charles Sumner but

01:45:20.520 the guy who who

01:45:22.500 was the guy who

01:45:23.020 beat him.

01:45:24.020 I can't remember.

01:45:24.900 I don't remember.

01:45:25.240 I want that guy

01:45:26.000 because you don't

01:45:26.660 know maybe he'll do

01:45:28.200 it again.

01:45:29.000 You don't know.

01:45:30.060 And this time it'd

01:45:30.660 be on video.

01:45:31.360 It'd be and imagine

01:45:32.520 it viral.

01:45:33.380 Imagine imagine

01:45:35.080 if he's serving

01:45:35.880 and one day he

01:45:37.980 shows up and

01:45:39.320 he's got a cane

01:45:41.160 and then you're

01:45:42.660 watching and the

01:45:43.440 next day he's

01:45:44.700 just like a foot

01:45:45.820 closer to somebody

01:45:47.340 else and you just

01:45:48.680 move him every day

01:45:50.300 like weekend to

01:45:51.020 Bernie's.

01:45:51.660 Exactly right.

01:45:53.100 Congress edition.

01:45:53.660 Yeah.

01:45:54.040 I like it.

01:45:54.560 But they just they're

01:45:55.380 in that position

01:45:56.080 every day.

01:45:56.780 So it's like a it's

01:45:57.940 like a Macy's

01:45:58.700 Christmas Day window.

01:46:00.020 You know what I

01:46:00.360 mean where every day

01:46:01.900 C-SPAN goes on and

01:46:03.160 they're all in a

01:46:03.680 different position.

01:46:04.420 You're like what

01:46:05.100 happened.

01:46:06.160 They only do laws 0.62

01:46:07.620 when we're not

01:46:08.340 watching like elf on

01:46:09.880 a shelf.

01:46:10.460 It's grew up a lot

01:46:11.100 less.

01:46:12.080 It would be would be

01:46:12.900 great.

01:46:13.340 I'm all over it.

01:46:14.200 Yeah.

01:46:14.600 Well that's why we

01:46:15.080 have I mean you

01:46:15.780 know the system

01:46:16.440 government in many

01:46:17.360 states Texas being

01:46:18.300 one of them they

01:46:18.940 don't show up all

01:46:19.700 that often.

01:46:20.240 That's good.

01:46:21.300 Every other year.

01:46:21.860 Every other year

01:46:22.660 they show up vote

01:46:23.480 on a couple things.

01:46:24.540 How long have we

01:46:25.020 said that the

01:46:25.900 National Congress

01:46:27.320 should do what

01:46:27.840 Texas does.

01:46:28.820 Just stay away

01:46:29.600 every other year.

01:46:30.460 Can you imagine

01:46:30.820 how great it would be?

01:46:31.520 Oh that's the way

01:46:33.120 it was.

01:46:34.180 Yeah.

01:46:34.380 That's the way it

01:46:34.920 was.

01:46:35.260 This was not a

01:46:36.280 full-time job.

01:46:37.480 You were there for a

01:46:38.540 few months right

01:46:39.480 every other year and

01:46:41.040 you had a job where

01:46:41.760 you worked around

01:46:42.480 other people.

01:46:43.720 Yeah.

01:46:44.020 And so you got to

01:46:44.740 hear and stay in

01:46:45.720 touch with people

01:46:46.600 because you were

01:46:47.120 there with them.

01:46:48.000 The reason why they

01:46:49.120 really liked Washington

01:46:51.240 D.C. is because it 0.92

01:46:52.480 was so miserable and

01:46:54.540 it was so full of

01:46:55.520 malaria that they 0.96

01:46:57.180 were like nobody's

01:46:58.580 going to want to

01:46:59.040 stay here.

01:46:59.480 nobody's going to

01:47:00.940 want to stay here

01:47:01.640 because it's just

01:47:02.760 miserable.

01:47:03.440 So it was a swamp.

01:47:04.400 Right.

01:47:04.980 I'm not sure the

01:47:05.660 American people are

01:47:06.360 ready for more

01:47:06.980 personal time with

01:47:07.840 John Conyers though.

01:47:08.960 I don't think that's

01:47:09.520 a good idea for them.

01:47:10.760 I think maybe why

01:47:11.780 what could possibly

01:47:12.660 go wrong.

01:47:23.280 Mel Carnahan not

01:47:24.580 but yeah that's it

01:47:25.860 and Callahan what

01:47:27.760 he was I don't know

01:47:28.880 I get him I think he 0.99

01:47:29.900 was a dirty hairy guy 0.99

01:47:31.280 wasn't he. 0.99

01:47:32.500 I don't I don't know

01:47:33.320 that I don't dirty

01:47:34.240 Harry Callahan I

01:47:35.320 think.

01:47:35.540 OK.

01:47:37.100 But I do know that

01:47:40.400 show appears on the

01:47:41.420 blaze radio and

01:47:41.960 television network

01:47:42.580 right after this one

01:47:43.320 go to the blaze

01:47:44.440 dot com slash TV and

01:47:46.260 check it out.

01:47:46.640 so Goldline has

01:47:50.820 been a sponsor for

01:47:51.800 mine for you know

01:47:53.920 years and years and

01:47:54.640 years and well the

01:47:57.900 reason why I like him

01:47:58.540 is because they

01:47:59.120 listen to you and

01:48:00.420 they try really try to

01:48:02.160 do the right thing

01:48:03.160 they're really

01:48:03.680 transparent they're

01:48:04.480 far more transparent

01:48:05.700 than the law requires

01:48:07.500 them to be and a

01:48:09.260 million times more

01:48:10.160 transparent than all

01:48:11.140 the other businesses

01:48:12.000 that sell gold and

01:48:14.020 they try to do the

01:48:14.600 right thing now they

01:48:16.420 have just been

01:48:17.080 purchased by a

01:48:18.320 company named a

01:48:19.280 mark a mark is the

01:48:20.900 largest publicly

01:48:21.780 traded precious metal

01:48:22.880 wholesaler in I think

01:48:25.640 the country for sure

01:48:26.960 maybe the world and

01:48:28.920 so what they offer is

01:48:31.680 a way to buy a much

01:48:33.720 more efficient way

01:48:35.100 precious metals and

01:48:37.140 so they've been able

01:48:38.640 to now that they own

01:48:39.960 Goldline they've been 0.99

01:48:41.080 able to say we

01:48:42.160 already have that so

01:48:43.040 you don't need this

01:48:43.780 you don't need that and

01:48:44.760 we can get everything

01:48:45.720 and save you a

01:48:47.040 buttload of money

01:48:47.660 this is the kind of

01:48:49.340 people that work at

01:48:50.560 Goldline they wanted

01:48:52.040 to pass those savings

01:48:53.200 on to you instead of

01:48:54.840 just adding to the

01:48:56.100 bottom line they

01:48:57.560 wanted to lower the

01:48:58.520 price of what they

01:48:59.860 sell because what they

01:49:00.940 sell is not just gold

01:49:02.000 bar they they sell I

01:49:03.620 buy the antique coins

01:49:05.760 and I do it for a

01:49:08.580 reason you can ask

01:49:09.140 them why I do that

01:49:09.920 but I buy the antique

01:49:11.380 coins so there is a

01:49:13.060 price to that but

01:49:15.260 because a mark now

01:49:16.540 owns them they can

01:49:17.620 get those at a much

01:49:19.320 more efficient way in

01:49:21.740 price so now the

01:49:23.320 savings go to you I

01:49:24.860 have never seen

01:49:25.840 Goldline offer any of

01:49:27.380 their products for the

01:49:29.140 prices that they're now

01:49:29.980 being offered Goldline

01:49:32.340 the prices are coming

01:49:33.460 down while everything

01:49:35.880 else is going up in

01:49:37.420 our world Goldline is

01:49:39.160 doing it right call

01:49:52.540 Glenn back

01:49:56.380 Glenn back

01:50:02.740 welcome to the

01:50:09.360 program glad you're

01:50:09.960 here today at five

01:50:12.680 o'clock we're going to

01:50:13.360 go in depth on a

01:50:14.920 couple of things

01:50:15.540 first the travel ban

01:50:16.880 the Supreme Court has

01:50:19.000 said yep we're good

01:50:20.200 with a travel ban

01:50:21.080 what we might change

01:50:22.860 our mind later this

01:50:24.020 week so it's just

01:50:25.400 it's nonsensical what

01:50:27.440 is happening we're

01:50:28.200 going to break it all

01:50:28.760 down for you and

01:50:29.940 then I want to talk

01:50:30.900 to you about what the

01:50:31.460 president did yesterday

01:50:32.360 in Utah it was a

01:50:33.920 good step in the

01:50:34.760 right direction by

01:50:36.780 overturning the huge

01:50:39.320 land grab that

01:50:40.720 Barack Obama did

01:50:42.260 with Bears ears in

01:50:44.580 Utah just seized all

01:50:46.080 this land we have

01:50:47.140 some pretty shocking

01:50:48.400 inside information on

01:50:50.080 that that we will

01:50:51.960 will give to you and

01:50:53.620 what should happen

01:50:55.260 what we should be

01:50:56.420 cheering for is not

01:50:58.860 necessarily what

01:50:59.780 happened yesterday but

01:51:01.320 it was a step in the

01:51:02.200 right direction and

01:51:03.020 we'll give you that

01:51:03.720 at five o'clock also

01:51:05.440 we'll give you an

01:51:05.980 update on the the

01:51:08.480 Supreme Court hearing

01:51:09.680 on the gay baker or 0.58

01:51:12.480 the the straight baker 0.92

01:51:14.160 who didn't want to 0.92

01:51:15.100 make a gay wedding 0.95

01:51:16.160 cake a very lefty kind 0.99

01:51:19.760 of reporter just left

01:51:21.320 the Supreme Court and

01:51:23.120 just tweeted this that

01:51:25.660 things did not go well

01:51:27.060 apparently for that side of

01:51:28.840 the argument there it

01:51:30.900 was someone from think

01:51:31.760 progress who said the

01:51:32.800 argument went terribly for

01:51:34.120 the pro equality side

01:51:36.540 Kennedy is almost

01:51:37.500 certainly going to a side 0.98

01:51:38.980 with the gay baker the 0.99

01:51:40.240 anti-gay baker was the way 0.99

01:51:41.500 I believe he put it so I

01:51:43.680 would not agree with that

01:51:44.620 analysis but it's a good

01:51:45.880 sign if he thinks it went

01:51:46.740 badly because this is not 0.58

01:51:48.360 about whether you like gay

01:51:50.060 people or anything like

01:51:51.020 that it's about the freedom

01:51:53.120 of being able to do with

01:51:54.200 what you want with your

01:51:55.240 day and your talent and

01:51:57.100 yeah what you have to

01:51:58.560 endorse if you are

01:52:00.020 religiously against it

01:52:02.760 but there's limits to

01:52:10.140 Dunkin Donuts vanilla

01:52:11.180 latte flavored pop tarts he

01:52:12.980 was eating and he says
