00:01:05.320 It's Pat Stu and Jeffy in today for Glenn.

00:01:10.400 He's lost his voice.

00:01:12.340 Timing is, ha, I'd say incredibly suspicious, however.

00:01:16.420 Seems to coincide with his birthday today.

00:01:18.860 Ha! 0.89

00:01:20.680 Happy birthday to Glenn.

00:01:22.140 We got a lot to get to, and let's start it off with something strange involving Chris Cuomo.

00:01:31.640 Stu's apparently fallen in love.

00:01:33.960 We'll get to that right now.

00:01:35.460 I will make a stand.

00:01:38.840 I will raise my voice.

00:01:41.140 I will hold your hand.

00:01:43.180 Cause we are one.

00:01:45.340 I will beat my drum.

00:01:47.600 I have made my choice.

00:01:49.860 We will overcome.

00:01:52.100 Cause we are one.

00:01:54.080 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:58.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:01.600 All right.

00:02:04.820 So yesterday, Stuart defended Chris Cuomo from CNN.

00:02:10.260 It's not, it's not, it's, it's not something I'm going to put in the family history.

00:02:14.800 I'll tell you that.

00:02:16.120 It was not a proud moment.

00:02:17.320 We may have believed that yesterday.

00:02:18.340 This is a week of shame for you.

00:02:19.760 It is.

00:02:20.480 A week of incredible shame.

00:02:21.980 I mean, we.

00:02:22.680 This guy's in the douche hall of fame.

00:02:23.940 He is in the douche hall of fame.

00:02:25.760 Chris Cuomo voted there with really, I was 97% of the voters, something like that.

00:02:30.040 Um, here's a guy who, you know, it's difficult to defend many times, but I, I will attempt,

00:02:37.880 I think a Guinness book of world record here today on the program for the most consecutive

00:02:44.980 days a human being has ever defended Chris Cuomo.

00:02:48.640 Uh, and of course the record would be two.

00:02:51.200 Um, that is, uh, that's it yesterday.

00:02:53.680 He, uh, Chris Cuomo was, uh, tweeted about by Donald Trump and he, uh, he, uh, he, uh,

00:03:00.040 he said, Trump said he wouldn't even ask Richard Blumenthal about his Vietnam service, right?

00:03:06.220 That was the, that was a controversy yesterday, but I just, I mean, look, I'm not saying that

00:03:10.580 this happens often, but I happen to be listening to that interview.

00:03:13.840 As I said, I think you've fallen in love with Chris.

00:03:15.800 No, well, let me, let me just get the facts out there.

00:03:17.860 I just want to get the facts out there.

00:03:18.820 Get the facts out.

00:03:19.780 Literally the first question of the interview was about the Vietnam service of Richard

00:03:24.900 Blumenthal.

00:03:25.460 It was literally the first question of the interview.

00:03:28.160 Yeah.

00:03:28.300 So, I mean, you know, there's a lot to criticize about Chris Cuomo.

00:03:31.740 You don't need to make stuff up.

00:03:32.900 Exactly.

00:03:33.280 Yes, absolutely.

00:03:34.120 And I think Trump, you know, probably just joined the interview late.

00:03:37.540 Like he probably turned it on in the middle of it and missed that question.

00:03:40.220 But some, one of his advisors should probably tell him, wait a minute, Don, before you tweet

00:03:45.300 that, uh, just so you know, that was the first question.

00:03:47.820 So that was, I think a defense of Chris Cuomo, uh, yesterday.

00:03:51.580 Let me ask you a question.

00:03:52.240 When is the last time you listened to Chris Cuomo?

00:03:56.180 Uh, the, it was on the 12th of never.

00:04:00.920 Oh, at never o'clock.

00:04:03.680 Yes.

00:04:04.140 Okay.

00:04:04.400 Yeah.

00:04:04.580 I caught that one too.

00:04:05.860 Yeah.

00:04:06.020 Normally that's the one I catch.

00:04:07.400 Uh, that's the, that's the airing of the show that I catch, but I happen to catch that

00:04:11.120 one.

00:04:11.360 Okay.

00:04:12.280 Um, so that turned Chris Cuomo.

00:04:16.040 Uh, I mean, and look, he was, he was handed a gift, right?

00:04:19.460 Everyone's saying that Donald Trump is saying all these fake things.

00:04:21.940 It's his interview.

00:04:23.000 He obviously has video of him asking the question.

00:04:25.960 Like, so all day yesterday, he was all over the media saying, Hey, Donald Trump lied about

00:04:30.940 me.

00:04:31.100 Donald Trump lied about me.

00:04:31.980 And he came up with this point that he thought was a great point.

00:04:35.940 And he made it on several different, uh, uh, mediums.

00:04:39.760 He made it on his show.

00:04:40.820 He made it on apparently Michael Smirconish's show on Sirius XM.

00:04:44.820 Here's a version of it.

00:04:48.540 And again, it's not, it's not a loud point.

00:04:50.880 It's, it's, it's, I would say, I see being called fake news as the equivalent of the N

00:04:59.900 word for journalists, the equivalent of calling an Italian, uh, any of the ugly words that people 1.00

00:05:06.400 have, uh, for that ethnicity.

00:05:08.440 That's what fake news is to a journalist.

00:05:11.240 It is an ugly insult and you better be right if you're going to charge a journalist with

00:05:17.820 lying on purpose and the president was not right here and he's not been right in the

00:05:22.560 past.

00:05:23.080 Okay.

00:05:23.520 So the, the uproar you can tell without even, right.

00:05:26.980 I haven't even paid attention to the uproar over this, but you know, it's the comparison.

00:05:31.540 Yes.

00:05:31.840 He compares the plight of African-Americans to his as a journalist.

00:05:37.200 Exactly.

00:05:37.800 That's exactly the play.

00:05:38.740 And it's sad for Chris because he's going on his little victory tour on the media to

00:05:42.340 show how he was actually right for once.

00:05:44.800 Yeah.

00:05:45.040 Uh, and what happens, uh,

00:05:47.820 he says this and he said the very similar thing on CNN where he said it was similar to

00:05:52.580 a racial slur for journalists.

00:05:54.320 Now everyone's you're comparing the plight of African-Americans to, you know, fake news

00:06:01.160 accusation for journalists.

00:06:03.700 No, he, no, everyone on earth knows what he's doing.

00:06:08.420 What he's saying is if you say a journalist is lying to a journalist, it's a really big insult.

00:06:14.460 And there are other, here's another example of a really big insult.

00:06:18.300 I love the fact that he can't even bring himself to say what these words are.

00:06:23.960 Obviously we're all at the point where we say the N word, right?

00:06:27.640 Which is fine with me, but he can't even bring himself.

00:06:30.900 I, and he is Italian, right?

00:06:32.140 He can't even bring himself to say one of the slurs against Italians.

00:06:35.480 He's like, it's like one of those slurs against Italians that people come up with.

00:06:42.640 One of them begins with a letter near the end of the alphabet.

00:06:49.100 Right.

00:06:50.120 Wait, what?

00:06:52.220 Now, of course, this is the media's creation, right?

00:06:54.980 The reason why he can't say, number one, why he can't say the word that he wants to say

00:07:00.680 about Italians, whatever it is.

00:07:04.100 Number two, it's also a media creation that he has to now come up and apologize today, or

00:07:13.360 actually, yeah, yesterday he said, I was wrong.

00:07:16.560 Calling a journalist fake, nothing compared to the pain of a racial slur.

00:07:21.400 I should not have said it.

00:07:23.300 I apologize.

00:07:24.360 Everyone who heard this knows he was not comparing the pain of a racial slur to saying fake news

00:07:34.180 is insulting to journalists.

00:07:35.720 It is, it is not the same thing.

00:07:38.380 He is saying that it was a, it's a real insult to me personally, when you say that I, that

00:07:44.780 I, uh, I would make something up like that.

00:07:48.200 And it's just as offensive to me as it is to other people who are offended in other ways.

00:07:53.180 So he's not saying that he's now been through slavery because he was accused of fake news.

00:07:57.860 The journalists are victims of Jim Crow laws. 0.50

00:07:59.800 Are you sure he's not saying that?

00:08:00.740 He's not saying that.

00:08:01.840 He's not saying he was hit by a fire hose at any point during the day.

00:08:05.760 Dogs were not released at him.

00:08:07.860 Does he really need to make these disclaimers?

00:08:10.260 Or are we adults and can realize exactly what he was saying?

00:08:14.220 No, we're not.

00:08:14.800 And you know what?

00:08:15.380 And again, I know this is my Chris Cuomo, I'm trying to set a Chris Cuomo defense record

00:08:20.060 here, but if this happened with someone else, Chris Cuomo would be critical of them.

00:08:25.620 And, and just like everybody else in the media would act as if they didn't understand what

00:08:31.400 was going on and they would all criticize some Republican politician.

00:08:35.620 It's certainly happened to us and other talk show hosts.

00:08:39.580 It's happened to comedians.

00:08:41.140 It's happened to everyone.

00:08:43.720 No one believes that Chris Cuomo was comparing his actual plight to that of racial slurs and

00:08:52.180 racial animus that has happened over the past couple hundred years.

00:08:56.800 No, he was just saying that one of the biggest, biggest criticisms, the most offensive thing

00:09:04.040 you can say to a journalist is to say that they're making up news because that's their line

00:09:08.300 of work.

00:09:08.940 It's like, you know, I would say it's like any, any, uh, industry could make this point.

00:09:15.160 If you were to say that, uh, you know, um, a chef, uh, was, uh, was poisoning his PRB.

00:09:21.760 He was made, he wasn't using fresh ingredients.

00:09:23.740 Well, that's like saying, you know, a, a, a racial slur.

00:09:27.740 It's just him saying that that's, what's important to me as in my job.

00:09:31.560 I want people to believe I'm credible.

00:09:33.240 And he did absolutely nothing wrong there.

00:09:38.280 Absolutely nothing wrong.

00:09:40.340 Yet we all have to act as if we think he, uh, was saying this crazy thing and minimizing the

00:09:49.500 plight of African Americans. 0.62

00:09:52.000 He was not minimizing the plight.

00:09:54.580 He was saying it was important to him in a colorful way.

00:09:57.380 The same thing that every time someone brings up a point about, um, uh, you know, the Nazis,

00:10:02.760 everyone says, Oh, how dare you?

00:10:04.580 You, are you comparing what you are?

00:10:06.300 You, is Jerry Seinfeld comparing his experience at a soup restaurant to the plight of the Nazis?

00:10:12.180 No soup Nazi is just a funny way of saying the guy was tough, right?

00:10:17.120 The guy had stringent rules that you better follow.

00:10:20.200 Everyone knew that nobody thought that what he was saying was, wow.

00:10:24.820 Is he saying the person at the soup restaurant is putting people into concentration camps?

00:10:31.020 No, no.

00:10:32.080 So the, for whatever reason, um, we have chosen as a society with the media leading in this

00:10:38.620 process to all be children and to all act as if we don't understand what other people

00:10:44.500 saying so that we can feel some weird, uh, outrage that for whatever reason we want to

00:10:53.260 feel, I don't understand why people go through life wanting to feel outraged over things like

00:10:59.080 this, but man, do they?

00:11:00.880 And Chris Cuomo plays right into it with his stupid apology, which I guarantee somebody at

00:11:05.880 CNN said, you know what?

00:11:06.940 You guys got need to apologize over that.

00:11:09.100 There's probably some person who said you need to apologize over that.

00:11:12.940 And he went out and he did it.

00:11:14.420 Um, I can't imagine cause he said it on multiple shows.

00:11:17.340 This was not the only time he said it.

00:11:18.680 He obviously thought it was a fine point to make until he had to apologize for it after

00:11:22.800 the backlash.

00:11:24.000 It's just ridiculous.

00:11:25.560 I, you know, society gets boring if you live by these standards.

00:11:29.500 On the other hand, I will say that he is now being bitten by his own, by his own standards

00:11:37.140 because he helped create that.

00:11:39.060 He helped create that society in which we can't just say, okay, no, he's saying that was offensive

00:11:46.000 to him just as being called a racial slur is as offensive to other people of ethnicities,

00:11:54.020 uh, different ethnicities.

00:11:56.100 So it's almost, it's almost poetic justice.

00:12:00.740 It is, I guess, but I mean, it's still wrong.

00:12:03.520 Even though Chris Cuomo deserves it, even though everyone in the media deserves it,

00:12:08.900 it's still wrong.

00:12:10.020 He does deserve it.

00:12:10.580 You know, I mean, and the reason why you do that is because it's an interesting way of phrasing it.

00:12:15.180 It makes you think about it a little bit.

00:12:16.960 It, it, it, it, if you were to say this, uh, you know, calling a journalist fake news

00:12:21.020 is the same as calling a doorman someone who lets in people who don't, haven't filled

00:12:26.300 out the correct paperwork.

00:12:27.840 Like, that's not interesting.

00:12:30.700 Yes, it would also work.

00:12:32.140 You know, I would assume a doorman wants to be responsible and says, yeah, hey, well,

00:12:36.900 you know, I only let the, or the right people in the door, but no one cares about that.

00:12:40.740 It's a terrible example.

00:12:42.620 And no, everyone would be like, why the hell is he comparing it to a, what a doorman?

00:12:46.420 No, you use the example that everyone seems to know.

00:12:49.580 Um, and you, and you, uh, by the way, that's my wife calling in the middle of the show. 0.99

00:12:53.920 Thank you, honey.

00:12:54.940 Gee, I don't know.

00:12:55.540 What do you think I'm doing right now?

00:12:56.980 Oh, it's, uh, uh, it's a surprise.

00:13:01.320 It's a shocking, uh, this time of the day, shocking development.

00:13:04.940 When did that begin?

00:13:06.040 What?

00:13:06.620 15, 20 years ago?

00:13:08.580 Oh, what?

00:13:09.500 It's weird.

00:13:10.300 We, we met each other.

00:13:11.640 I was doing a show at this time and I'm currently doing a show at this time.

00:13:15.360 Uh, but that's just, it's just dumb.

00:13:17.520 You're right though.

00:13:18.380 It is a creation of the media.

00:13:20.160 Yeah.

00:13:20.360 Uh, it is a creation of many people.

00:13:23.120 It's liberals eating their own.

00:13:24.660 And I always love that.

00:13:25.860 I know.

00:13:26.880 So I'm not nearly as passionate about this as you are.

00:13:29.540 Cause I, he deserves every bit of it.

00:13:32.260 And you know what?

00:13:33.100 Every bit of it.

00:13:33.720 The same thing in two weeks, some host will say something like this.

00:13:38.900 Yeah.

00:13:39.140 And Chris Cuomo will do a show where he's bashing the guy.

00:13:42.040 Yes, he will.

00:13:43.020 And that's the problem.

00:13:43.920 That's why I like to take, this is the moment I like to talk about it because it's not one

00:13:48.740 of our own.

00:13:49.700 It's, but it's still wrong.

00:13:51.500 It's still ridiculous.

00:13:52.860 Our society is ridiculous on stuff like this.

00:13:55.620 And because it's Chris Cuomo, I mean, this is a guy who has been voted into the Pat and

00:13:59.240 Stu douche hall of fame.

00:14:00.880 This is not a person I liked defending, especially in consecutive days.

00:14:05.000 Right.

00:14:05.180 It's really problematic for, for, I mean, really my life history.

00:14:09.140 This is going to be a mark on my, on my family's history.

00:14:13.220 There's no doubt about it.

00:14:14.080 There's a lot of shame.

00:14:15.040 Yeah, it is.

00:14:15.840 It's really, there was a lot of shame associated, but you know, I think it's still the right

00:14:20.180 thing to do.

00:14:20.920 It is.

00:14:21.660 And it does show consistency.

00:14:22.960 I mean, we are consistent with that, right?

00:14:25.160 It does drive us nuts.

00:14:26.700 It's such a stupid, and we almost every day it happens to somebody almost every day.

00:14:32.160 It does.

00:14:32.980 And it would be nice if we could be adults and realize that's not what's happening.

00:14:38.480 But, but again, Chris Cuomo helped create that environment.

00:14:43.400 And now he's being punished by that environment.

00:14:46.440 It is their standard.

00:14:47.440 It is.

00:14:48.000 It's just the terrible standard.

00:14:49.400 It is.

00:14:49.780 It really is.

00:14:50.660 888-727-BECK.

00:14:52.180 More of the Glenn Beck program with Pat Stewart-Jeffrey coming up.

00:14:54.820 For Valentine's Day this year, don't be ordinary.

00:14:57.440 Make a statement.

00:14:58.060 Get her something that she'll fall in love with and use every single day. 0.86

00:15:01.680 Get her a Casper mattress. 1.00

00:15:03.660 Guaranteed to give her and you the best night's sleep ever.

00:15:07.040 Time Magazine named it one of the best inventions of 2015.

00:15:10.460 Casper is, it's just, I mean, it's an incredible company.

00:15:13.380 They've, they've innovated in this area for a very long time.

00:16:15.120 Hey, I want to talk to you a little bit about the trouble that I have sometimes with my son

00:16:18.560 and my daughter.

00:16:19.000 They love the internet as I do.

00:16:21.320 The internet is an incredible resource, educational, social, recreational.

00:16:25.520 It's all good, except it's not all good.

00:16:27.360 Some of it is real bad and it can show up on your kid's screen when you least expect it.

00:16:32.020 So how do you as a parent handle it?

00:16:34.280 I want to tell you about Hero Parental Control.

00:17:13.940 That's BlazeHero.com.

00:17:16.940 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:20.000 It's Pat Stowe and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:24.400 888-727-BECK.

00:17:27.060 They put a hold on the travel ban situation.

00:17:31.000 The Ninth Circuit Court came through again with some weird ruling and have decided that this

00:17:38.920 can't happen right now at least.

00:17:41.040 Right.

00:17:41.200 And that's about all it did, right?

00:17:42.760 It just stopped it for now.

00:17:44.020 Yeah, just for the moment.

00:17:45.240 Basically, Trump wanted to say, well, we should be able to do this until you decide whether

00:17:50.580 it's okay or not.

00:17:52.020 And the other side was saying, well, no, we need to stop it until we figure out whether

00:17:57.380 it's okay or not.

00:17:58.700 And so they sided with that part of it.

00:18:01.080 They're going to stop it until they figure out whether it's okay or not.

00:18:03.920 It really is this whole story.

00:18:05.600 We should go through this at some point today.

00:18:07.220 It is the biggest story that is actually the smallest story.

00:18:14.180 None of this is all that important, to be perfectly honest.

00:18:17.480 This is not a big, this is not that big of a deal.

00:18:20.700 You know, it just delays it a little bit.

00:18:22.740 But I mean, you know, we just went through eight years without it, right?

00:18:25.060 You know, if it's eight years and three months, it's not that big of a deal.

00:18:29.580 And remember, it was only a temporary ban anyway.

00:18:32.440 It only lasted for three months.

00:18:34.240 So it's not that big of a deal.

00:18:36.720 You know, it's just, we can't have a small story anymore.

00:18:40.520 It almost seems like it's impossible for, especially when it has to do with Donald Trump,

00:18:44.040 because this all starts with the media freaking out over something that is not that big of

00:18:47.980 a deal.

00:18:48.700 Yeah.

00:18:49.320 And, you know, then the Trump administration freaks out because they're freaking out.

00:18:53.160 And it winds up leading to just nonstop craziness.

00:18:59.500 And then Bashir Assad, the president of Syria, has kind of contributed to the hysteria involving

00:19:06.880 this story because he weighed in and he said, he told Yahoo News yesterday that some of the

00:19:13.320 refugees that will be coming are definitely, quote, definitely terrorists. 1.00

00:19:18.860 Well, thank you very much for that.

00:19:21.140 Appreciate it.

00:19:22.280 That's really helpful.

00:19:23.880 But that contributes to the hysteria.

00:19:25.940 He said, you can find it on the internet.

00:19:29.340 Those terrorists in Syria holding the machine gun or killing people, they appear as peaceful 0.75

00:19:35.040 refugees in Europe or in the West.

00:19:37.920 You don't need a significant number to commit atrocities.

00:19:41.380 He noted that the 9-11 attacks were pulled off by fewer than 20 terrorists out of maybe millions

00:19:46.600 of immigrants in the United States.

00:19:48.780 So it's not about the number.

00:19:50.600 It's about the quality.

00:19:51.760 It's about the intentions.

00:19:52.720 And he's right about that.

00:19:53.700 Of course.

00:19:54.680 I mean, you can't, you cannot eliminate it.

00:19:58.100 You cannot eliminate the possibility.

00:20:00.580 And, you know, this comes from not only refugees.

00:20:04.660 It comes from immigrants from Mexico.

00:20:06.720 It comes from immigrants from European nations.

00:20:09.160 It comes from your own citizens.

00:20:11.140 You can't eliminate it.

00:20:12.500 You try very hard to make sure you're not importing crime.

00:20:16.120 Like, that is not a, that is a completely reasonable request for government to do.

00:20:20.380 I will say that Bashir Rashad's motives may be in question.

00:20:22.840 We're not, of course, you never know where he's coming from.

00:20:25.000 He's cozy with Russia.

00:20:25.820 With Russia, yeah, obviously.

00:20:27.240 And so, you know, you think he has a reason to do this.

00:20:30.680 And, of course, he also.

00:20:31.340 He might want us a little more involved in that civil war.

00:20:34.060 Right.

00:20:34.440 Not to mention.

00:20:35.000 Like Russia is. 0.87

00:20:35.400 Absolutely.

00:20:35.740 If you're a refugee from Syria, likely what you're saying is the Assad regime is terrible.

00:20:40.980 And I need to leave.

00:20:42.440 Right.

00:20:42.680 So, he has a reason to say that these people don't, they're not being honest.

00:20:47.180 It's not terrible here.

00:20:48.540 It's not my fault.

00:20:49.820 It's those are the guys that are the bad guys.

00:20:51.380 Look at them.

00:20:51.720 They have machine guns.

00:20:52.440 They're terrorists.

00:20:53.180 So, he is obviously motivated.

00:20:54.940 But, I mean, plainly, that analysis is true.

00:20:58.360 I mean, almost definitely we're going to miss somebody.

00:21:01.800 Right.

00:21:02.320 If we start, if we, you know.

00:21:04.000 We've done it in the past and we'll do it in the future.

00:21:06.400 Exactly.

00:21:06.860 It's going to be very difficult.

00:21:07.700 Well, if you think government can handle tasks like this, you've got a lot more faith in government than I do.

00:21:12.800 However, you know, you can make this statement about everybody coming into this country.

00:21:17.340 You can make it with tourist visas.

00:21:19.160 I mean, any time you're having anyone come visit you, theoretically, they could be a terrorist.

00:21:24.480 You know, in Syria, and the reason why this travel ban, the reason why they picked the seven countries, by the way, outlined by the Obama administration first, as highly risky, is you're trying to improve your percentages.

00:21:37.300 Yeah.

00:21:37.480 We all know that someone from, you know, Norway could come here and be terrorist. 0.89

00:21:41.340 One of the biggest, the biggest mass shooting on the planet was Norway.

00:21:44.260 Right.

00:21:44.840 You know, you never know who you're importing.

00:21:47.280 It's, that's not that.

00:21:48.300 You just try to increase your percentages.

00:21:50.080 That's all you can do.

00:21:50.560 Well, the answer, of course, is to not import anyone. 0.90

00:21:52.820 Don't let anybody come visit.

00:21:54.640 Ever.

00:21:55.200 Ever.

00:21:56.040 Go away.

00:21:56.880 Stay off my lawn.

00:21:58.240 We're closed.

00:21:59.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:12.080 Mercury.

00:22:13.640 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:17.580 Pat and Stu and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:20.640 He's sick today.

00:22:23.240 Right.

00:22:24.680 It's also his birthday.

00:22:25.980 He's sick on his birthday.

00:22:27.340 It just happens to be.

00:22:28.280 An amazing coincidence.

00:22:29.340 He's just an amazing coincidence.

00:22:31.100 What a tragedy.

00:22:31.680 What a terrible tragedy that he gets to spend his birthday at home.

00:22:35.560 Yeah.

00:22:36.080 Unlike me, you know, yesterday.

00:22:37.540 It was my birthday.

00:22:38.440 That's right.

00:22:39.100 You were, it seems like.

00:22:40.340 I was here.

00:22:40.880 Here.

00:22:41.400 Sitting right where you are now.

00:22:42.720 Right.

00:22:43.280 Yeah.

00:22:44.240 And then it was at Chuck E. Cheese, which is, was, you know, it's where you want to spend

00:22:48.780 your birthday when you're 41.

00:22:50.980 You want to get.

00:22:51.820 You share a birthday, however, with your four-year-old daughter.

00:22:54.460 I do.

00:22:55.040 Ainsley.

00:22:55.620 Who was four.

00:22:56.660 So who's in charge of the birthday?

00:22:59.000 I mean, her, plainly her, but I will say a Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust pizza.

00:23:05.380 Pretty good.

00:23:06.240 Is it pretty freaking good?

00:23:07.780 That's really, you know, I think delicious pizza.

00:23:10.240 I'm my mind goes immediately to Chuck E. Cheese.

00:23:12.640 It's an interesting establishment, you know, in that, first of all, all the parents now

00:23:17.060 are the age that they grew up playing video games.

00:23:19.960 So, like, I can act like I don't like going to an arcade, but I do.

00:23:24.200 I actually do like it.

00:23:25.920 Number one.

00:23:26.520 Number two, they have a bunch of food now, which is pretty, like, the pizza was, you know,

00:23:29.600 pretty good.

00:23:30.640 It's not bad.

00:23:31.500 Yeah.

00:23:31.700 I mean, it's stuck in some pizza.

00:23:32.360 And I'll say this.

00:23:33.260 I'm at a point in my life, you know, where when I was ordering the pizza, they said it's

00:23:36.920 $2 extra for the stuffed crust.

00:23:38.160 And I said, do it.

00:23:38.760 I don't care.

00:23:39.540 Holy cow. 0.89

00:23:40.120 You know what?

00:23:40.500 Do it on both pizzas.

00:23:41.780 I don't even care.

00:23:42.800 You spent an extra four bucks and you didn't care?

00:23:45.320 Didn't even think about it.

00:23:46.400 I was like, you know what?

00:23:47.060 Just roll with it.

00:23:47.820 I roll high.

00:23:48.720 You know, give me the corner table.

00:23:49.760 What kind of money must you make here?

00:23:51.560 Look, I don't even.

00:23:52.980 Four extra dollars?

00:23:54.060 Four extra dollars.

00:23:54.760 And you just said, do it.

00:23:55.700 Just like that.

00:23:56.240 I just said, do it.

00:23:56.940 You didn't think about it.

00:23:57.620 You didn't discuss it.

00:23:58.520 No.

00:23:58.760 You didn't take a loan out.

00:23:59.840 I didn't call my financial advisor.

00:24:01.340 I just said, roll with the stuffed crust.

00:24:03.320 Wow.

00:24:03.680 And they did.

00:24:04.420 And it was delicious.

00:24:06.300 So, I mean, that's the kind of guy I am at this point in my life.

00:24:08.960 You know?

00:24:09.720 I mean, you know, will I pay for it in retirement?

00:24:13.020 Maybe I will.

00:24:14.240 But, you know, you got to live life.

00:24:16.080 That's what I told the guy in Chuck and Cheese.

00:24:17.560 I can almost guarantee you'll wish you had those four dollars back.

00:24:20.320 I know.

00:24:20.740 He looked at me strangely when I said you got to live life because I was approving the

00:24:24.160 stuffed crust upgrade.

00:24:27.020 He didn't seem as impressed as I was.

00:24:29.240 But, uh, there's still a lot of people that go to Chuck E. Cheese.

00:24:33.620 Was it packed?

00:24:34.380 I was actually, and this is a tad off topic for the world today, but it's like when I

00:24:39.700 was a kid, the cool place I wanted to go was Chuck E. Cheese.

00:24:43.680 It's 40 years later.

00:24:45.740 It's still the place my kids want to go.

00:24:48.080 It's amazing.

00:24:48.980 It really is incredible.

00:24:50.540 And, and it's changed a little bit in that now they have this, like, you know, it's,

00:24:55.360 it's almost sad in a way that like, you know, you have enough, uh, you know, example, enough,

00:25:00.500 enough, enough Nancy Grace episodes.

00:25:02.060 Everyone's afraid that their kid's going to be, uh, you know, uh, taken, taken.

00:25:06.480 Um, and so they have these things now where you go in and they stamp your hand, um, with

00:25:12.120 a number and then they stamp your kid's hands as you walk in the door.

00:25:15.620 So you can't leave, like your kids can't leave and you can't leave unless you're, you know, 0.97

00:25:19.740 with someone with the same number, uh, stamped on you.

00:25:22.880 So like, oh, nice, basically there's, and do they check everybody?

00:25:25.480 Oh, they check everybody.

00:25:26.520 They're now, I'd say they're Nazis about it, but Chris Cuomo might make me apologize.

00:25:31.380 So I won't say that.

00:25:32.600 They're, they're really good about it.

00:25:34.780 Yeah, they really are.

00:25:35.520 They're really, they're really helpful with your kid's security.

00:25:38.620 Yeah, they are.

00:25:39.520 Which is good.

00:25:40.140 I mean, because that is good.

00:25:41.360 Cause you know, you get your kids like, you know, you turn your head for a second, you

00:25:44.320 know, and your kid runs away.

00:25:45.640 Well, I can't leave.

00:25:46.800 At least there's somewhere they might, they might, you know, they might, uh, and they can't

00:25:50.280 leave with somebody else.

00:25:51.280 They can't leave with anybody else.

00:25:52.080 They don't have a matching number.

00:25:53.220 That's cool.

00:25:54.260 And that's why it's so that, and the, and the other thing is they serve beer there.

00:25:58.380 So you can just get hammered while your kid's running around, uh, and, uh, and then just

00:26:03.680 drive them home, but they'll make sure you're the right parent driving them home drunk.

00:26:07.580 My God, man, how much money did you spend at this place?

00:26:10.360 No, it is weird.

00:26:11.620 They do have pizza and beer.

00:26:13.040 No, I didn't have any beer, but they did.

00:26:14.420 They do.

00:26:14.680 I don't think the last time I went to see my youngest is now 16.

00:26:18.140 So it's been a while since I've been to Chuck E.

00:26:19.680 Cheese.

00:26:20.560 Uh, and I, I don't think they served beer the last time I was there.

00:26:24.860 I don't know.

00:26:25.280 Well, look, the world's been a little bit more difficult.

00:26:27.660 Yeah.

00:26:27.860 The world's getting a little increasingly more intense.

00:26:30.240 So now you need a couple of beers while you're at Chuck E.

00:26:32.200 Cheese.

00:26:32.960 Just to get through the experience.

00:26:34.760 If they start offering fireball shots, I'm going to think, this is exactly appropriate,

00:26:39.700 but all right, there's a, there's been this story that we've, uh, had on the plate all

00:26:44.800 week, uh, from Chesterfield, Missouri, where this 12 year old kid wore a make America great

00:26:51.340 again cap on the bus to school.

00:26:54.620 And he started getting hassled.

00:26:56.700 And one of the kids on the bus is yelling, you want to build a wall?

00:27:00.400 You want to build a wall?

00:27:02.520 Yeah.

00:27:02.820 And I want to argue with you, a 12 year old about whether or not the wall is appropriate

00:27:07.500 and we need one.

00:27:08.840 Yes.

00:27:09.380 I want to build the wall.

00:27:11.340 Okay.

00:27:12.320 Yeah.

00:27:12.600 I think that's a good idea for our security.

00:27:14.380 Like this 12 year old is going to understand it.

00:27:16.740 Anyway, he gets up and starts punching the kid in the face, starts beating.

00:27:20.980 Here's a quick report, uh, from the local, from the local news station about it.

00:27:26.120 The mom tells me she never expected a reaction like this when she allowed her son

00:27:30.040 to wear a make America great again hat to school.

00:27:34.720 As a parent, it's, it's so upsetting because my son doesn't need to be made the example

00:27:40.400 for this.

00:27:41.320 Christina Cortina showed us the video.

00:27:43.600 Her son in a Donald Trump campaign hat getting into an argument with students on the bus and

00:27:49.160 it quickly gets out of control.

00:27:51.000 You want to build a wall?

00:27:52.440 You want to build a-

00:27:53.280 At one point, he just got so frustrated that he pushed me.

00:27:57.020 And then what'd you do?

00:27:58.100 And then he kept hitting me and backing me up to like my window of the bus.

00:28:03.020 And so I just had to push him out.

00:28:06.040 Gavin is now suspended from school.

00:28:08.600 In fact, a Parkway District spokesperson tells us all the students involved have faced

00:28:13.280 consequences.

00:28:14.660 Fighting over politics may not seem like something middle schoolers would do.

00:28:19.280 So if you've, if you're getting hit in the face repeatedly, I guess you just stand there

00:28:24.500 and take it.

00:28:25.060 Yeah, you can't retaliate.

00:28:25.920 You can't get up and push the kid away, which is all he did.

00:28:29.240 Without consequences.

00:28:30.560 Without getting suspended from school.

00:28:32.880 I would own that school by the end of this.

00:28:37.060 I would too.

00:28:37.900 Oh my God.

00:28:38.520 You've already owned a school.

00:28:39.640 Of course, I've already owned a school that didn't really go all that well.

00:28:42.320 You sure you want another one?

00:28:43.780 No.

00:28:45.700 So you know what?

00:28:46.640 Never mind.

00:28:47.380 Never mind.

00:28:48.180 You guys can keep it.

00:28:48.880 I'd let him kick my kid out.

00:28:50.960 That's fine.

00:28:52.040 Whatever.

00:28:52.540 He deserved it.

00:28:53.400 It is bizarre though.

00:28:54.520 I mean, you know, you can't, that's not even a, making America great again is obviously

00:29:00.400 the Trump slogan.

00:29:01.260 It's a Trump hat.

00:29:01.860 But it's not something that anyone should disagree with, right?

00:29:04.880 Like you should want it to be great.

00:29:06.340 Damn you for making America great!

00:29:10.140 It's really weird.

00:29:11.960 First of all, what are this kid's parents telling him about Donald Trump to incite that

00:29:19.320 kind of rage in a 12-year-old kid over politics?

00:29:22.800 Did you ever, when you were 12 years old, fight any battles over politics?

00:29:28.800 I don't think I did.

00:29:30.480 Not once!

00:29:31.480 I could say no, absolutely not.

00:29:32.800 Not ever.

00:29:33.620 No.

00:29:34.380 And this goes back to, I mean, this is widespread, obviously.

00:29:38.480 People are very panicked over Donald Trump and what he might do.

00:29:41.700 But we talked about the George Stephanopoulos example.

00:29:44.240 Yeah.

00:29:44.340 George Stephanopoulos is a major journalist.

00:29:46.340 This is a guy who might, you know, be at a debate.

00:29:49.660 He's a guy who does major interviews and his wife, who I don't remember who it was, but

00:29:54.360 it's someone, she's kind of a celebrity too, right?

00:29:56.000 Yeah.

00:29:56.260 I can't remember who she is.

00:29:57.880 But she was on The View saying that her 11-year-old daughter wanted to sleep in bed with them every

00:30:04.760 night because she was so terrified that Donald Trump might get rid of abortion.

00:30:09.200 Yeah, this was about three, I think three weeks or four weeks after the election, and she

00:30:13.920 had been sleeping with her parents every night since election night.

00:30:18.540 That's how terrified she was.

00:30:20.300 So what were George Stephanopoulos and his wife saying at the dinner table to this girl to

00:30:25.600 make her that way?

00:30:27.360 Right.

00:30:27.880 She's 11.

00:30:28.840 I mean, she's obviously, you know, I'm sure she reads things on the internet too or whatever,

00:30:33.260 but like, your parents, you still have some sway perhaps?

00:30:36.660 And she, and the mother was, you know, directly in line with that.

00:30:40.240 I mean, she told the story proud of her daughter for being so scared that abortion might go away.

00:30:45.420 She was actually proud of it.

00:30:46.660 Well, she talked about the daughter, election night, screaming no abortion.

00:30:50.880 No abortion! 1.00

00:30:52.140 Can you imagine your 11-year-old daughter?

00:30:54.300 Yeah, your 11-year-old.

00:30:55.120 That's the thing?

00:30:55.740 You want to have an abortion so badly in the next four years by the time you're 15?

00:31:03.820 That you're screaming no abortion when he's elected?

00:31:08.420 No abortion! 1.00

00:31:09.980 No abortion! 1.00

00:31:11.360 No.

00:31:11.920 That's, plus, that is just one of the weirdest things of the left that is, I mean, it is

00:31:17.580 really their hot button issue.

00:31:19.300 They want abortion more than, I think they want clean air.

00:31:22.460 Oh, yeah.

00:31:23.240 I mean, it is, at least there's more passion for it, it seems like.

00:31:26.620 I mean, there's no more hated word on the left right now, seemingly, than the word rare.

00:31:31.980 It always used to be safe, legal, and rare was the left-wing company.

00:31:36.080 Now it's just safe and legal.

00:31:37.860 Yeah.

00:31:38.380 Screw rare.

00:31:39.740 Yeah.

00:31:40.100 Rare is dead over on that side of the aisle.

00:31:42.560 And I don't know, you know, what the passion for that is.

00:31:45.880 But, I mean, this is an issue in which technology is going to make that position extinct.

00:31:52.940 I don't know how long it's going to take.

00:31:54.140 Good.

00:31:54.340 But, over time, that position, pro-choice is an endangered species because of technology.

00:32:01.100 Listen to this story.

00:32:02.140 Using powerful new technology, an international team of doctors and scientists have managed

00:32:05.580 to capture amazingly clear video of a 20-year-old, or a 20-year-old baby in the womb would be

00:32:10.480 weird, a 20-week-old.

00:32:11.640 That would be a little weird.

00:32:12.180 Because that would be amazing video.

00:32:13.220 Very uncomfortable for the mother.

00:32:15.300 Seriously.

00:32:15.960 Very uncomfortable.

00:32:16.960 That is, I mean, I don't know how you'd get a seatbelt to figure out.

00:32:21.340 A six-foot-three thing inside of me, and I really have a backache right now.

00:32:30.060 Especially if she's like 5'2". 1.00

00:32:32.080 It's really difficult.

00:32:34.840 But a 20-week-old baby in the womb.

00:32:37.200 So, this is new footage, and the footage is pretty incredible.

00:32:41.320 Incredibly detailed.

00:32:42.920 And the fetus can be seen fiddling with its umbilical cord, turning its head from side

00:32:47.540 to side, and stretching.

00:32:48.540 The system used to capture the video was created by a group called iFind, using a grant from

00:32:53.920 around $13 million from the Wellcome Trust and Engineering and Physical Scientist Research

00:32:58.540 Council, which I know, Pat, you're a big follower of.

00:33:00.820 Oh, yeah.

00:33:01.500 You're a big, uh...

00:33:02.760 You have a bumper sticker on your car.

00:33:04.560 A bumper sticker proclaiming how much I love them.

00:33:06.660 The automated ultrasound technique compensates for the baby's movement, which can cause traditional

00:33:11.160 ultrasound scans to be inconclusive.

00:33:12.740 Over time, you're going...

00:33:14.620 These kids in the womb, you're going to have pictures that make them look just as adorable

00:33:19.760 as they do once they're born.

00:33:21.260 And once that starts happening, it's going to become less and less and less popular, and

00:33:26.980 you're going to be able to restrict abortions to earlier and earlier and earlier.

00:33:31.660 There was a time where it wasn't even thought of for 20 weeks.

00:33:33.900 Now, you're talking about 80% of people think abortion at 20 weeks is a bad idea.

00:33:40.260 80%.

00:33:40.820 This is not a 50-50 issue when you talk about the lines that are being fought upon when it

00:33:45.800 comes to what restrictions should be applied.

00:33:48.340 Almost everyone wants more restrictions than we currently have.

00:33:52.780 Europe has more restrictions than we currently have.

00:33:56.460 This is not...

00:33:57.420 There's no...

00:33:58.320 It's a bizarre thing that the left continues to go on television and say, I don't know,

00:34:02.900 nine seconds before birth, you can still abort kids.

00:34:05.240 They're still at that position, and they're going to hold on to it for as long as they

00:34:08.180 can.

00:34:08.780 But what's going to defeat it, I think, is going to be technology.

00:34:12.680 It's not going to be people making arguments in the Senate.

00:34:16.580 It's going to be people who are crushed by what they think they might have done before

00:34:21.760 seeing videos like this.

00:34:22.940 Yeah, because already with the ultrasounds, you show a mother who is contemplating abortion 0.93

00:34:29.540 an ultrasound, and you have to do this in Texas now. 1.00

00:34:32.900 Over 90% of them choose not to have the abortion, just based on the technology we already have.

00:34:39.220 So when that's a lot more clear and a lot more precise, showing what's inside the womb,

00:34:45.100 you're right.

00:34:45.760 I think it's going to become much more rare.

00:34:48.460 And the new one, it's still black and white.

00:34:50.680 I mean, eventually you're going to get to a point where you're going to be able to see,

00:34:54.180 you know, you're going to be able to see the face.

00:34:57.180 You're going to be able to see...

00:34:58.900 The baby holding the hi mom sign.

00:35:00.520 Yeah.

00:35:01.260 Hi mom.

00:35:01.780 The baby trying to text mom.

00:35:04.340 The baby playing Angry Birds.

00:35:06.640 There's a lot of things that go on there.

00:35:08.120 A lot of stuff.

00:35:08.400 Right now we can't.

00:35:08.960 You don't know about it.

00:35:09.560 We don't know.

00:35:09.880 But soon we will.

00:35:11.040 Because it's hard to look at that.

00:35:12.860 I mean, we just showed the video here on the Blaze TV if you're not watching.

00:35:17.600 In the video, it looks like a baby doing things that babies do.

00:35:21.800 It's not a fetus.

00:35:23.360 It's not a hamster.

00:35:24.620 It's not a piece of broccoli.

00:35:26.280 It's not a Volkswagen.

00:35:27.660 It's a freaking baby.

00:35:29.120 You can tell.

00:35:29.960 It looks like a baby.

00:35:30.940 It's doing baby things.

00:35:32.420 It's everything.

00:35:33.960 And this is the time.

00:35:34.700 This is the point where we're having the discussion about.

00:35:37.160 20 weeks.

00:35:38.340 Five months isn't enough for you to make this decision.

00:35:41.900 And every time someone says 20 weeks, you have, oh wow.

00:35:44.900 Well, I can't believe they're trying to take women's rights away.

00:35:47.480 Look at this.

00:35:47.980 This is a being that has rights.

00:35:51.800 Oh, yeah.

00:35:52.480 And how you look at something like that and don't understand it.

00:35:55.340 Yeah, I know.

00:35:55.880 That's not even a consideration to the left.

00:35:57.960 I do think this is a winnable battle, though.

00:35:59.660 This is something that over time, it might take a couple centuries, honestly.

00:36:03.520 I think so, too.

00:36:03.800 The reason they've gotten as far as they have is because we ceded the battle to them.

00:36:07.460 We're like, yeah, okay, we won't talk about this anymore.

00:36:09.880 It makes me uncomfortable.

00:36:10.880 It makes me uncomfortable.

00:36:11.300 Yes.

00:36:11.720 And I don't want to be uncomfortable.

00:36:13.080 And I don't want you to be uncomfortable.

00:36:14.320 And we're just going to get angry at each other.

00:36:16.300 So we just won't talk about it.

00:36:18.160 We're not there anymore.

00:36:20.060 I'm not there.

00:36:21.000 Not at all.

00:36:22.200 888-727-BECK.

00:36:23.540 More of the Glenn Beck Program with Pat, Stu, and Jeffy coming up.

00:36:33.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:36.640 Pat, Stu, and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:36:38.680 Happy birthday to Glenn.

00:36:39.860 He's like 64 today?

00:36:42.860 I think 65.

00:36:44.340 Oh, no, no, no.

00:36:45.000 It's got to be 68.

00:36:46.380 68, is it?

00:36:47.160 69.

00:36:47.560 I might have missed a few in there.

00:36:49.020 I mean, I guess we would have heard about the big 7-0, but I wouldn't be surprised, right?

00:36:52.660 I mean, certainly.

00:36:55.480 I don't know.

00:36:57.100 Jeffy, any idea?

00:36:59.400 No.

00:36:59.920 No, I do not.

00:37:00.760 You just know he's younger than you.

00:37:02.400 That's all you know.

00:37:03.380 That's all you know.

00:37:03.520 That's correct.

00:37:04.360 Of course, so is everyone here.

00:37:05.960 Yes, that is true.

00:37:06.840 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.

00:37:11.180 The big deal the other day was the letter that they stopped Elizabeth Warren reading from Coretta Scott King.

00:37:20.200 Yes.

00:37:20.760 About Jeff Sessions and how racist he was supposed to be.

00:37:23.500 Here was Coretta Scott King a few years ago on Jeff Sessions.

00:37:27.300 The President Martindale, Senator Sessions, Mayor Bright, Troy State Chancellor, Jack Hawkins Jr., Dr. Dorothy Height.

00:37:36.760 Thanking all these people.

00:37:38.460 The second person she named was Jeff Sessions.

00:37:40.860 She's thanking them for the opening of the Rosa Parks Library.

00:37:44.720 Wow.

00:37:45.000 So what a racist that he obviously co-authored that bill and got that passed and got that through, and she's thanking him there.

00:37:55.440 And then it turns out, wow, what a racist this guy is, huh?

00:38:01.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:23.660 888-727-BECK is our phone number.

00:39:25.900 You would like to get in touch with us.

00:39:29.460 Jake Tapper revealed something yesterday.

00:39:33.140 Trump won't like.

00:39:34.620 We're going to get into that.

00:39:35.440 Also, I am getting so sick and tired of a certain kind of story that we're hearing all the time now.

00:39:44.500 I mean all the time.

00:39:46.380 And we'll start there, right now.

00:39:48.020 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:40:10.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:14.160 Pat Stewart, Jeff Yee, for Glenn.

00:40:19.720 888-727-BECK.

00:40:22.140 Beloit College in Wisconsin.

00:40:26.200 The whole community there was outraged because they had reports of an anti-Semitic note,

00:40:33.300 and a really ugly one, that was placed under a student's door late last month.

00:40:37.920 The note read, well, it started out with the K word, a really disparaging term for Jews.

00:40:45.500 You should be gassed for what you say and do on this campus.

00:40:49.080 Be worried, C word.

00:40:51.900 And then a large swastika was drawn alongside the note.

00:40:57.580 And so, police began to investigate.

00:41:04.740 The college added a number of on-duty security staff.

00:41:08.560 They increased dorm patrols.

00:41:10.540 They restricted access to the dorms.

00:41:14.460 I mean, the campus was really almost on lockdown.

00:41:17.080 And then, police were interviewing the Jewish student involved.

00:41:26.520 And he broke down as they were interviewing him and said he had done it himself.

00:41:33.600 It was yet another.

00:41:35.780 Unbelievable.

00:41:36.920 Another one of these fakes.

00:41:38.140 Why?

00:41:39.460 What does he hope to accomplish?

00:41:41.160 That's a good question, Jeffy.

00:41:43.280 And the answer is because he said that he saw how the Beloit College community had come together

00:41:50.740 after a similar incident had occurred, where they had faked one of these things against a Muslim,

00:42:00.220 and he wanted similar attention.

00:42:02.980 Isn't that special?

00:42:04.100 Isn't that special?

00:42:05.680 Unbelievable.

00:42:07.220 What kind of sickness do you have to, you know what?

00:42:10.320 I'm going to pretend that people hate Jews, and they left me a note under my door.

00:42:14.920 You get caught virtually every time, first of all.

00:42:18.900 And the other thing is, in America, in the United States of America, these things, I mean, do they occur?

00:42:27.020 Yes, I suppose so, on an incredibly rare basis.

00:42:30.640 But for the most part, they just don't happen.

00:42:33.980 No.

00:42:34.540 Right?

00:42:34.940 They're almost always fake.

00:42:36.480 In almost every one of these circumstances, they're fake.

00:42:41.160 Every time, and I feel like we are the only people who do this, this audience.

00:42:47.260 Every time you see a story where a waitress went to get a receipt and was written a hateful message on it with no tip.

00:42:57.240 Because she was a lesbian. 1.00

00:42:58.360 She was a lesbian. 0.90

00:42:59.600 Every time I hear a story.

00:43:00.960 And of course, they all knew she was a lesbian at the table for some reason. 1.00

00:43:03.120 Well, yeah.

00:43:03.460 Because that's what I want to discuss with the person bringing my food.

00:43:06.080 How she has sex. 0.98

00:43:07.160 And no doubt, she volunteered that information.

00:43:10.960 Hi, what would you like to eat?

00:43:12.060 And by the way, I'm Susan.

00:43:13.900 I am a lesbian.

00:43:15.100 And I'll be your waitress tonight.

00:43:16.660 Any food that you order, for example, a steak would be a lesbian steak. 1.00

00:43:20.340 Because I'll be bringing it to you.

00:43:22.140 No, that's not what happens at restaurants.

00:43:23.800 I don't think it does.

00:43:25.080 And it's so weird.

00:43:26.340 Every time I hear that story, which again, we have lists that we've built of all these types.

00:43:33.180 Every time.

00:43:33.480 Over and over and over and over.

00:43:34.340 It's a hoax.

00:43:35.220 Almost on every occasion.

00:43:36.560 And I know why.

00:43:37.120 Because it's just not something that occurs in society.

00:43:39.400 Right?

00:43:39.600 Yeah.

00:43:39.800 Does it?

00:43:40.660 You know, it's overly broad to say that it doesn't occur in society.

00:43:45.420 But it's so rare that you can basically assume it's a hoax every time.

00:43:50.700 And almost every time, it's proven that it is a hoax.

00:43:54.400 Yeah.

00:43:54.860 The latest, in the long line, and we just talked about this a couple of weeks ago, there was

00:43:58.920 the 18-year-old Muslim in New York.

00:44:02.100 Do you remember this story?

00:44:03.020 She was on a subway in New York City.

00:44:05.160 And three Donald Trump supporters got in her face and started screaming, terrorist, terrorist,

00:44:11.900 go home, Trump, Trump, you're a terrorist.

00:44:15.140 Get out.

00:44:15.940 Go home.

00:44:16.940 Remember that?

00:44:17.660 Yes.

00:44:18.160 And they reported that.

00:44:19.860 And care was all over it.

00:44:21.280 The Council of American Islamic Relations.

00:44:23.260 Of course.

00:44:23.540 And they were all upset about it.

00:44:24.580 And these kinds of attacks were on the increase.

00:44:28.300 And then it turned out, police investigated.

00:44:31.340 They brought her in.

00:44:32.220 And she admitted she made the whole thing up.

00:44:34.720 Huh.

00:44:35.260 Over and over and over again.

00:44:38.100 Now, you would think it would happen as much as it's reported in a nation of 330 million people

00:44:43.140 with this kind of diversity.

00:44:44.200 It just doesn't.

00:44:46.360 It just doesn't.

00:44:47.160 Americans are good people, generally.

00:44:49.220 Yes.

00:44:49.580 Good people.

00:44:50.880 Good people.

00:44:51.720 And, you know, so there's two parts of this.

00:44:53.280 First of all, of course there's racial hatred.

00:44:57.000 Of course there are people who don't like gay people.

00:44:59.280 Of course there are Trump supporters and Hillary Clinton supporters who are awful people that

00:45:05.680 do terrible things.

00:45:06.580 Generally speaking, a message written on a receipt that includes usually your name and

00:45:14.940 your credit card number is not the right delivery system for your hatred.

00:45:20.120 Right?

00:45:20.320 Like, if you actually do hate people, what probably happens is you go back in the car and say,

00:45:25.660 I didn't like that lesbian steak I just had. 1.00

00:45:28.120 Right?

00:45:28.660 Like, I guess that's how people would react to that.

00:45:30.480 I don't even know.

00:45:31.560 But it's certainly not writing it.

00:45:33.180 Here, let me give the person that I am criticizing a written record next to my credit card number.

00:45:40.920 Of what a jerk I am.

00:45:41.680 Of what a jerk I am.

00:45:42.560 Like, what a total buffoon.

00:45:44.620 It's just not a thing that people do.

00:45:47.160 I'm going to write a note and slide it under the door.

00:45:50.120 That'll teach them.

00:45:51.520 Now, look, I know it's, again, too broad to say they never do it.

00:45:55.240 Obviously, it has happened, I'm sure, in the past.

00:45:57.540 But literally, it is almost never.

00:46:00.180 It is almost never.

00:46:00.860 Almost never.

00:46:02.080 And that is why, like, every single one of these things should be viewed immediately with

00:46:07.940 a standard of, let's call it, innocent until proven guilty.

00:46:11.780 Let's just throw that standard out as an example.

00:46:14.440 Well, that's a crazy concept.

00:46:15.500 I know.

00:46:16.360 Where did you pull that one out of your rectal cavity?

00:46:18.760 Well, right there.

00:46:20.300 It's that crazy.

00:46:22.740 But, like, maybe you approach these things with instant, reflexive skepticism.

00:46:29.660 That is how these things should be viewed.

00:46:31.380 Instead of.

00:46:32.180 Instant, reflexive acceptance.

00:46:34.100 Which is the other standard, apparently.

00:46:35.560 And it's, I think it's probably the main standard that we employ.

00:46:39.580 We just think, yep, I know it.

00:46:42.100 This is a hateful country with a bunch of hateful people.

00:46:45.360 And that hate has to stop.

00:46:47.440 Another hateful example of people who don't like other people different than them.

00:46:52.980 I mean, Hillary Clinton even said that in one of her ads, right?

00:46:55.140 I mean, with the rape ad or whatever.

00:46:57.540 I mean, you're believed no matter what.

00:46:59.080 Oh, yeah.

00:46:59.440 You have the right to be believed, I believe, is the way she said it.

00:47:02.480 And frankly, no, it's the opposite.

00:47:03.900 You have the right to prove that somebody did something to you.

00:47:08.160 And I think you have the right to be taken seriously.

00:47:10.240 You have the right to be heard.

00:47:11.400 Yeah, absolutely.

00:47:12.120 Taken seriously.

00:47:13.040 But, I mean, you don't have the right to be believed.

00:47:15.100 Right.

00:47:15.340 In fact, again, the innocent until proven guilty standard basically says you are not believed.

00:47:21.640 It says, you know what?

00:47:23.260 If you're accusing someone of doing something terrible, I'm not going to believe you at all unless you can prove it.

00:47:27.600 That is what we're supposed to have in the society.

00:47:30.660 And I understand Twitter doesn't have the court standard.

00:47:33.680 But isn't it smart if you're on Twitter, if you're on Facebook, and you see one of these things, shouldn't that be your instant reaction?

00:47:40.660 Yes.

00:47:40.900 I mean, every person who, and look, this goes both ways.

00:47:44.160 I'm not trying to say it's only liberals.

00:47:45.980 But, I mean, you know, obviously a lot of these scandals have been because of either race or Donald Trump recently.

00:47:52.140 So it's been the most recent examples.

00:47:53.980 But it's like, when you see a story that seems too good to be true to reinforce your worldview, it's almost certainly not true.

00:48:03.220 Like, if you're like, wow, I cannot even imagine that happening.

00:48:06.500 However, wow, it backs up the thing I've been saying.

00:48:09.440 That's not a good standard to repost it.

00:48:12.240 Right?

00:48:12.640 Like, you need to be able, and you should want this.

00:48:17.180 This should not be something you have to talk people into.

00:48:19.340 It should be something that people want.

00:48:21.020 You want to be able to share a story on Facebook.

00:48:23.340 It should be one you think might be, I don't know, true.

00:48:26.840 And you should feel dumb if you share one that isn't true.

00:48:31.200 That is what the standard should be.

00:48:34.140 You know, I don't know.

00:48:35.520 I mean, I don't want to get in fights with people on Facebook.

00:48:37.600 I don't want to get in fights with people on Twitter.

00:48:39.280 But it's almost like that would be almost the only way to actually stop this.

00:48:43.780 Because it does happen on both sides.

00:48:45.860 And it's just because people don't care.

00:48:47.820 It does.

00:48:48.120 People are like, oh, wow, I see that headline.

00:48:50.000 That reinforces my worldview share.

00:48:51.780 And that's how you get into these little, you know, these little circles of just hearing stories that constantly reinforce what you believe.

00:48:58.780 You know, I don't want that.

00:49:00.360 I'd rather have something that, because if you're not getting something wrong occasionally, if you're not tested by something, then, you know, you're going to wind up saying the wrong things and believing the wrong things.

00:49:13.200 Because you should always want to be tested and pushed.

00:49:16.600 And the left, especially, has no need for that.

00:49:20.320 They just don't care.

00:49:22.120 There's no interest in hearing those other things and being pushed a little bit.

00:49:26.700 And the right does fall for these things, too.

00:49:29.360 Yes, 100%.

00:49:30.320 You know, those email things that circulate all the time, a lot of those are directed toward the right.

00:49:36.240 I think I talked about this a few weeks ago.

00:49:40.620 There was one in my inbox about, was it Tyson Chicken?

00:49:45.520 I think it was Tyson Chicken canceled Labor Day for the Muslim holiday of Eid.

00:49:53.420 Yeah, we talked about this.

00:49:54.620 And it was just like this outrage.

00:49:58.460 Boycott Tyson Chicken!

00:49:59.760 Tyson Chicken!

00:50:00.240 Don't eat another piece of Tyson Chicken!

00:50:05.580 I'm like, this can't be true.

00:50:07.800 It just can't be true.

00:50:09.060 It took me all of 10 seconds to Google it and find out it wasn't true.

00:50:12.780 But it had already circulated to thousands and thousands of people.

00:50:18.260 It's believed.

00:50:18.740 And I hit reply all and sent out that this is a fake and didn't happen and Tyson is not doing this.

00:50:26.300 Wow, you did.

00:50:27.060 I did.

00:50:27.560 Wow, so how did that work out?

00:50:28.620 Because that is not a step most people take.

00:50:30.320 Yeah, I try to at least make the effort to show whoever sent it to me and everybody else who sees it.

00:50:38.980 I saw your reply.

00:50:40.020 I didn't believe it.

00:50:40.680 I just deleted it.

00:50:42.000 Yeah, no, it's true.

00:50:43.200 Fake news.

00:50:43.860 Fake news.

00:50:44.700 Pat's reply was fake news.

00:50:46.400 But that's difficult.

00:50:47.180 I would say most people don't even take that step.

00:50:48.860 No way.

00:50:49.340 I mean, most people are saying...

00:50:50.420 They don't even look to see if it's true.

00:50:52.480 And that takes literally 10 seconds in this day and age.

00:50:57.180 10 seconds to find out.

00:50:57.820 Information is easy to find.

00:50:59.020 Really is.

00:50:59.380 If you want to.

00:51:00.560 And you're willing to say, you know what, this one's not true.

00:51:03.100 Doesn't that make your opinion stronger?

00:51:05.060 Doesn't that make your foundation stronger?

00:51:07.380 If you actually are, I don't know, sharing stories that are real, doesn't it make it easier to convince someone else?

00:51:13.360 Because if you show at some point that occasionally your worldview isn't echoed every single time.

00:51:20.380 Like I just said, there are no, basically this does not happen in society.

00:51:25.100 But you add the disclaimer that yes, occasionally it can happen.

00:51:27.820 Of course it does.

00:51:28.020 Of course it can happen.

00:51:29.200 And sometimes I will think a story is a hoax.

00:51:32.160 Eventually one of these will be real, right?

00:51:34.100 And we will say, well, wow, this one turned out to be real.

00:51:36.260 Most of them seem to be hoaxes, but this one turned out to be real.

00:51:38.580 It doesn't weaken your viewpoint.

00:51:39.880 That strengthens it.

00:51:40.820 When you're willing to come out and say that your side is wrong sometimes, that helps you.

00:51:46.380 Right.

00:51:46.880 It gives credibility.

00:51:48.240 And a good example of this right now is Neil Gorsuch.

00:51:51.520 Now the Gorsuch thing has been a big story over the past couple weeks.

00:51:55.480 Has Neil Gorsuch's comments where he came out and said some version of it was disheartening to have Trump tweet about this.

00:52:08.120 Now you might be angry right now.

00:52:09.320 Wait a minute.

00:52:09.740 That's not what he said.

00:52:10.260 And Kelly Ayotte said that he was just talking generally about criticism of judges.

00:52:15.120 Yes.

00:52:15.400 I mean, that's what Kelly Ayotte said.

00:52:16.580 I think that's probably the way he phrased it.

00:52:18.540 They were probably having a discussion about Trump's tweets.

00:52:20.740 And he said, well, I want to be clear.

00:52:22.360 I'm not talking about anything specific.

00:52:23.960 But I do find it to be disheartening when people are criticizing the judiciary like that.

00:52:29.820 Or in that manner.

00:52:31.520 Or in some manner.

00:52:32.760 Right.

00:52:32.960 He probably kept it, you know, bland and away from Trump because he's not looking to be critical of Trump's per se.

00:52:39.760 But he wanted to make sure his principle was clear.

00:52:42.580 Is this going to help Neil Gorsuch or hurt him?

00:52:45.400 Should help him.

00:52:45.960 It probably will get him more votes from Democrats that he would not have been able to receive because he's now showing I will stand up against Trump if I think that he is wrong.

00:52:54.880 Yeah.

00:52:55.000 And that's what you should want out of a Supreme Court justice.

00:52:58.300 And what you should want is also honesty.

00:53:00.700 The ability to come out and say, you know what?

00:53:02.280 Just because this guy gave me a lifetime appointment to one of the most important roles in the world, I will still criticize him when he's wrong.

00:53:10.640 Problem is, though, Stu, honesty is such a lonely word.

00:53:15.160 Everyone is so untrue.

00:53:17.440 Well, not everyone.

00:53:18.440 I mean, you know, honesty is hardly ever heard.

00:53:21.680 But it's mostly what I need from you.

00:53:24.760 Oh, you personalized that.

00:53:27.460 Yeah, I really appreciate that.

00:53:29.200 You took it.

00:53:29.760 That was really beautiful.

00:53:30.580 Well, it came from the heart.

00:53:32.020 Or Billy Joel.

00:53:33.600 Billy Joel's heart.

00:53:34.440 Went from Billy Joel to my heart to you.

00:53:37.100 Oh, thank you, Pat.

00:53:40.040 You're welcome.

00:53:41.640 888-727-BECK.

00:53:43.160 More of the Glenn Beck Program with Pat Stu and Jeffy coming up in a second.

00:53:47.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:53:51.600 Mercury.

00:53:52.000 Hey, I want to talk to you a little bit about the trouble that I have sometimes with my son and my daughter.

00:53:56.680 They love the internet, as I do.

00:53:58.680 The internet is an incredible resource.

00:54:01.240 Educational, social, recreational.

00:54:02.900 It's all good.

00:54:03.480 Except it's not all good.

00:54:04.760 Some of it is real bad.

00:54:06.320 And it can show up on your kid's screen when you least expect it.

00:54:09.260 So, how do you, as a parent, handle it?

00:54:11.680 I want to tell you about Hero Parental Control.

00:54:14.620 It's the most comprehensive family internet solution available.

00:54:17.980 And the activity from all of your family's devices can be filtered, can be monitored, and even tracked via GPS from a dashboard on your phone or your iPad.

00:54:26.320 Material that may be healthy for a teen can be harmful to a young child, and so you need to have the perfect protection level from toddler to teen to mom and dad.

00:54:34.880 One of the most important steps to a safer internet in your home is recognizing this is a really big issue.

00:54:40.020 Hero gives you the power to create a protected and nurturing online environment.

00:54:45.300 There's nothing like it.

00:54:46.420 Try Hero.

00:54:59.000 That's Stu and Jeffy for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:55:03.340 Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:04.520 Jake Tapper, whom we like a lot.

00:55:07.720 Jake Tapper is one of the few decent journalists left on the face of the planet.

00:55:12.400 There's John Carl from ABC News and Jake Tapper from CNN.

00:55:17.460 I think those are the two most legitimate guys in all of journalism.

00:55:21.020 Yeah, there's more than that overall, but yeah, those are two we say to a lot.

00:55:24.260 Yes, and he was on Stephen Colbert, which blows me away because I didn't know Colbert still had a show, but apparently he does.

00:55:32.560 Actually, I just saw an article where he beat Fallon.

00:55:37.240 I don't know if that's in the demo or overall, but supposedly there's some kind of Colbert comeback in the ratings, and at least on one occasion.

00:55:46.680 I don't know if that's a weekly number.

00:55:48.380 I wasn't interested enough to actually read the story.

00:55:51.820 But you share it immediately, and it reinforced your worldview.

00:55:55.280 But the headline did say that he had to, and it didn't enforce my worldview, actually, because I thought he was off the air.

00:56:03.140 But it said something about him beating Fallon.

00:56:05.260 Maybe we'll have to look into that.

00:56:06.420 Anyway, Tapper was on Colbert's show last night.

00:56:08.280 Our president, the president of the United States, commander in chief, has called your network fake news, fraud, the worst, so biased, failing, unwatchable, a disgrace to the broadcasting industry, disgusting, phony reporting, unprofessional, bad television, and CNN can go to hell.

00:56:23.320 Now, he certainly watches us a lot.

00:56:28.160 Yeah.

00:56:29.140 Sure, sure.

00:56:30.240 So, why are you so mean to him, Jake?

00:56:33.900 If you guys just didn't fact-check him anymore, he wouldn't be saying these things about you.

00:56:38.000 It's a good point.

00:56:39.400 What's it like in the halls over there, knowing that the president actively doesn't like your network?

00:56:43.680 How do people feel over there?

00:56:44.880 I don't think anybody cares.

00:56:46.100 I mean, they shouldn't.

00:56:52.980 I think they do.

00:56:54.220 I mean, you listen to Chris Cuomo, who we talked about to start the show today.

00:56:58.000 He obviously cares.

00:56:59.340 I mean, he's like, oh, the fake news is as bad as the N-word to journalists.

00:57:02.780 Yeah.

00:57:03.140 He obviously cares.

00:57:04.540 He cares.

00:57:05.020 He shows he cares.

00:57:05.780 Okay.

00:57:06.260 All right.

00:57:06.560 I'm not comparing the two because they're quite different, but I don't think President Obama was a particular fan of mine.

00:57:12.020 I mean, the job is to not be liked.

00:57:14.960 Uh-huh.

00:57:15.220 That's your job, to be liked.

00:57:16.580 Yeah, that's true.

00:57:16.920 My job is not to be liked.

00:57:19.440 My job is to tell the truth and deliver the facts and hold people accountable.

00:57:24.900 Not you.

00:57:28.940 I've known you for a long time.

00:57:30.040 I would never hold you accountable.

00:57:31.760 It's funny because that was the standard.

00:57:33.640 I mean, that was what people used to say about Tim Russert.

00:57:35.820 Only really after he died, but like that he was tough on both sides.

00:57:40.380 Because if you're a Trump fan, Jake Tapper is going to spend the next four years pissing you off, probably.

00:57:44.280 But he spent the last eight years pissing Obama off and Obama fans off constantly.

00:57:50.720 I mean, this guy stood up when nobody was taking on Barack Obama.

00:57:55.880 Nobody in the media was saying anything.

00:57:58.060 And it's not like he had some agendas against Barack Obama.

00:58:01.920 He was just doing his job.

00:58:04.420 Yeah, he was.

00:58:05.480 And so, you know, I'm sure a lot of people, you know, because with Republicans in control, surely he will have moments of criticism of Republicans and Trump.

00:58:14.920 And there will be a lot of people who will be like, oh, this guy was just another one of these dirtbags.

00:58:17.800 He's not.

00:58:18.600 I mean, the guy spent a long time building a lengthy record showing you that he's being a journalist.

00:58:24.580 And it's tough because I think we are at that point where everyone just dismisses everybody that disagrees with him.

00:58:31.020 It's important.

00:58:32.040 I know when Jake Tapper says something critical of something that I believe in or it's a story that I take a different way.

00:58:40.920 I might not always agree with him, but I always listen to him.

00:58:43.640 I want to hear when he, in particular, and there are others, but him in particular, when he has something where he is saying, well, this is actually true and what Republicans or Libertarians are saying isn't true.

00:58:56.100 I want to know what he's saying.

00:58:57.460 I might, again, at the end, I might say, well, he's off base on this, but I think it's actually coming from a legitimate place.

00:59:03.360 And that should be cherished in our society, not criticized.

00:59:07.500 Yeah, it should definitely be cherished, especially since there's so little of it.

00:59:12.040 Hardly, hardly anybody that you say, wow, they really handle both sides about the same way.

00:59:20.220 It's pretty rare.

00:59:21.920 We are one.

00:59:25.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:28.480 Mercury.

00:59:30.320 888-727-BECK.

00:59:32.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:35.580 All right.

00:59:36.500 It could be a fascinating four years.

00:59:38.020 It's already been a fascinating four weeks.

00:59:39.880 And we've barely begun here.

00:59:43.980 We haven't even scratched the surface of how interesting the Donald Trump presidency is going to be.

00:59:50.220 Last night, Colbert had Jake Tapper on, and he went through this litany of the things that Donald Trump has already called his network.

00:59:58.880 Fake news, fraud, the worst, so biased, failing, unwatchable, a disgrace to the broadcasting industry.

01:00:04.160 Disgusting, phony reporting, unprofessional, bad television, and CNN can go to hell.

01:00:11.700 A long list there.

01:00:12.900 Yes.

01:00:13.920 But that's what Donald Trump does.

01:00:15.520 Yeah, that's what he does.

01:00:16.280 That's what he does.

01:00:16.800 And sometimes he really nails them.

01:00:18.380 I mean, some of those are satisfying to hear.

01:00:21.080 Sometimes they're like, oh, that doesn't really make any sense in this particular case.

01:00:23.980 So I thought it would be an interesting time, because he's not here to defend himself, to go through the insults that Donald Trump has leveled against Glenn Beck.

01:00:35.540 I mean, are these legitimate?

01:00:37.300 Are these good quality insults accurate ones?

01:00:40.820 Or do you think these really apply, or do they not?

01:00:43.740 Are these fake insults?

01:00:45.480 All right, so let's start off.

01:00:47.120 I mean, I think he starts off on the right foot here.

01:00:49.620 His endorsement means nothing.

01:00:52.080 Right there.

01:00:53.340 He got that one right.

01:00:54.500 He got that one right, for sure.

01:00:56.900 So there you go.

01:00:57.660 I think that one is a good start.

01:01:00.260 Dumb as a rock.

01:01:02.300 Now, look, I mean, he might not be, as he said many times, I might not be a scientist, but I am a thinker.

01:01:09.560 I think he's slightly elevated from a rock.

01:01:12.440 I'm going to have to say, no, he's smarter than a rock.

01:01:14.960 He's smarter than a rock.

01:01:15.600 He got that one wrong.

01:01:16.520 Absolutely.

01:01:17.320 Next one, and I don't even know if this is an insult, but it's listed on the New York Times.

01:01:20.820 It says it lists of every insult Donald Trump has made against everyone.

01:01:25.800 He called, he leveled this insult against Glenn Beck, crying.

01:01:30.300 Now, this is a tough one, because, first of all, I don't know if it's actually an insult.

01:01:34.840 I mean, crying is, I guess it could be an insult, but I guess I get what he's going for.

01:01:38.840 It certainly was applicable at one time.

01:01:41.920 Yeah, he did cry a lot for a while.

01:01:43.440 You know, not a lot, but a lot for.

01:01:45.780 He cries a lot less now.

01:01:47.220 A lot for an adult male, I would say.

01:01:50.980 Yes.

01:01:51.540 I think we can give him crying.

01:01:53.420 We'll give him crying, although it's a little outdated.

01:01:55.620 Yeah, it is.

01:01:56.480 I haven't heard Glenn cry for quite a long time.

01:02:00.320 He's lost all credibility.

01:02:03.480 I'm not going to say no on that.

01:02:04.340 I'm not going to say no.

01:02:05.080 I don't think he's lost all credibility.

01:02:06.620 Absolutely not.

01:02:07.140 No.

01:02:07.440 You know, I think he's pretty great.

01:02:08.940 I mean, obviously, Trump is going to say that.

01:02:11.040 But that's largely because of the Trump criticisms that Glenn has made in the past.

01:02:16.360 I mean, you know, there's still a lot.

01:02:18.100 Like, for example, has he lost all credibility when he says Neil Gorsuch is a good nominee?

01:02:21.560 Probably not, right?

01:02:22.360 Like, I mean, he hasn't lost all credibility.

01:02:24.140 He's just lost credibility on the things that he disagrees with Donald Trump on.

01:02:27.740 So, okay, next up, failing.

01:02:31.180 Now, we were supposed to go out of business a while ago.

01:02:33.460 Quite some time ago.

01:02:34.560 What is the, what's the schedule on that?

01:02:36.600 It seems like it was September, wasn't it?

01:02:37.540 It was a Friday in September, specifically, and we are still on the air.

01:02:42.020 I'm going to have to call that one false.

01:02:43.460 Yeah, unfortunately.

01:02:44.040 You got that wrong.

01:02:46.460 Irrelevant.

01:02:48.020 Is Glenn irrelevant?

01:02:49.320 The president of the United States still talks about him.

01:02:52.220 I can't be that irrelevant.

01:02:54.100 Can't be irrelevant.

01:02:55.200 No, I'm going to say no on that one.

01:02:57.180 All right, next up is Wacko.

01:03:00.140 I mean, I think that one has.

01:03:01.800 That's pretty subjective, but.

01:03:03.300 Yeah.

01:03:03.740 Yes, I can give him Wacko.

01:03:04.720 We'll give him Wacko. 0.99

01:03:05.340 That was a very good job by the president there.

01:03:07.880 How about, this is all enclosed in one insult.

01:03:11.800 Failing, crying, lost soul.

01:03:18.220 Failing, no.

01:03:19.560 Crying.

01:03:19.600 Now, we gave him, yes, we gave him crying.

01:03:21.520 We didn't give him failing.

01:03:22.880 So, really, this comes down to lost soul.

01:03:25.000 Is Glenn a lost soul?

01:03:27.280 Glenn might argue he's a lost soul, but I don't think so.

01:03:30.660 Yeah, he might, but that's not, I don't think so.

01:03:32.360 I can't give it to him.

01:03:33.100 No, yeah.

01:03:33.540 No.

01:03:33.860 Can't give him lost soul.

01:03:34.700 Mm-hmm.

01:03:36.200 Sad.

01:03:37.560 Absolutely.

01:03:38.160 Yes.

01:03:38.320 I am giving him sad.

01:03:39.560 He is sad.

01:03:40.040 He is absolutely sad.

01:03:41.980 He's much more sad than a guy that successful should be.

01:03:46.460 Yes.

01:03:46.880 Glenn is.

01:03:47.340 Right.

01:03:47.960 Right.

01:03:48.260 Like, I honestly think Glenn could be president of the United States and have all of the money

01:03:52.940 Donald Trump has and have a 100% approval rating and he would still find a way to be

01:03:58.880 depressed over it.

01:03:59.660 Yes.

01:04:00.060 So, yes.

01:04:00.760 Sad.

01:04:01.180 I am with that.

01:04:02.340 Has zero credibility.

01:04:05.200 No.

01:04:05.420 Does Glenn have zero credibility?

01:04:06.760 No.

01:04:07.020 I think, no.

01:04:07.400 Because that's essentially the same as lost all credibility.

01:04:12.420 Next up is, very dumb and failing.

01:04:20.040 Donald Trump insults of Glenn Beck.

01:04:21.740 I got to give him a no and no on that one.

01:04:23.580 Yeah.

01:04:23.720 Definitely no.

01:04:27.020 Another irrelevant.

01:04:28.120 We already covered that one.

01:04:29.220 This is an interesting one.

01:04:31.980 Donald Trump insults of Glenn Beck.

01:04:34.360 Mental basket case.

01:04:35.820 That's a tough one.

01:04:38.380 That is a hard one.

01:04:39.380 As a guy who employs us, we should probably say no on that one, but there's some evidence

01:04:43.560 to entertain that one.

01:04:46.640 Can we give him a yes and no on that?

01:04:49.740 Like, partial.

01:04:52.600 Yeah.

01:04:53.460 That works.

01:04:54.780 He's not going to be pleased with that rating.

01:04:57.120 No, we got both sides of the issues, Glenn.

01:04:59.300 You wanted us to be fair.

01:05:01.480 How about another irrelevant.

01:05:03.740 Now, how about viewers and ratings are way down?

01:05:08.040 Well, that one I know is not true because I get the spreadsheet every month.

01:05:11.900 Not true.

01:05:12.080 So that one is definitely not true.

01:05:13.540 A real nut job.

01:05:16.780 See, that goes back to the other one.

01:05:18.580 Yeah.

01:05:20.180 I mean, I just say, you know.

01:05:21.280 I'm going to say he's not a nut job.

01:05:23.480 He's not a nut job.

01:05:24.420 I mean, look, the Ninth Circuit Court had a three-judge panel here.

01:05:27.740 I mean, let's not just jump to conclusions.

01:05:29.340 We've got our own three-judge panel right here.

01:05:34.020 I mean, a real nut job.

01:05:38.940 I mean.

01:05:40.200 I'm going no on that.

01:05:41.740 A nut job is different than a basket case.

01:05:43.760 Mm-hmm.

01:05:44.960 It is different than a basket case.

01:05:47.160 But, I mean, it's our job as judges.

01:05:48.760 We're judges here.

01:05:50.600 We are so-called judges here.

01:05:53.460 We can make a determination.

01:05:55.800 Is Glenn Beck a real nut job?

01:05:57.360 I can see where you want to go yes on this.

01:05:59.760 Well, I mean.

01:06:00.540 Don't you?

01:06:00.980 Here's the thing.

01:06:01.820 As the third judge here.

01:06:03.300 What was the other?

01:06:03.720 If I hear both of you say, no, he's not, then my vote won't count.

01:06:07.560 And I can slide in like a slimy senator.

01:06:10.620 What was the one, I think, two ago that was?

01:06:14.200 Mental basket case.

01:06:15.180 Mental basket case.

01:06:15.640 Mental basket case.

01:06:16.560 And we said yes on that.

01:06:17.900 We gave him.

01:06:18.360 Yeah.

01:06:18.660 Well, we said we gave him a half.

01:06:19.920 A half-half.

01:06:20.960 Half and half.

01:06:21.540 I mean, I could see how you'd get there, I guess.

01:06:25.620 A nut job.

01:06:26.500 I mean, some people are calling him the most reasonable man in the room now.

01:06:30.840 Yeah.

01:06:31.480 I'm going to say no on that job.

01:06:33.400 No.

01:06:34.840 Wait.

01:06:35.360 There you go.

01:06:36.180 Apparently our control room disagrees with that ruling.

01:06:39.920 How about always seems to be crying.

01:06:43.860 Now, crying we gave him.

01:06:45.740 Yeah.

01:06:46.140 But always seems to be crying.

01:06:48.120 Not anymore.

01:06:48.720 I don't think it's fair.

01:06:49.500 No, that's old.

01:06:50.220 At this point.

01:06:50.760 I'm going to go with no.

01:06:52.380 And last one here.

01:06:54.640 Insults by Donald Trump against Glenn Beck.

01:06:57.100 The last one in our collection.

01:06:58.980 Wacky.

01:07:00.580 I think wacky's fine.

01:07:02.040 I think it's wacky's fair.

01:07:03.820 Wacky's cut is probably an okay.

01:07:08.340 He's going to love this segment.

01:07:09.900 Can we not air what we just did?

01:07:11.600 I know it's a live show.

01:07:12.660 But can we not air it to one specific household?

01:07:17.380 Is that possible?

01:07:18.620 Can we make the internet go out for, you know, just a short time?

01:07:23.340 Oh, by the way, we should also mention happy birthday, Glenn.

01:07:29.040 We're so sorry you're sick.

01:07:31.120 Yeah.

01:07:31.500 We wish you were better.

01:07:32.500 He's like, I take, I'm off on my birthday because I'm sick.

01:07:36.520 And this is what I get.

01:07:37.360 And this is what I get.

01:07:38.120 And this is what I get.

01:07:39.480 Again, we praise Jake Tapper for being fair.

01:07:42.060 Right.

01:07:42.620 And what did we do?

01:07:43.700 We went through this list.

01:07:45.040 Some true, some false.

01:07:46.840 I think that was a fair handle.

01:07:48.320 I think it was fair.

01:07:49.120 I'm sure Glenn would appreciate it.

01:07:52.500 Well, I'm not entirely sure, but I think maybe he would appreciate it.

01:07:57.840 You'd like to think he would appreciate it.

01:07:59.280 Some of it.

01:08:00.280 All right.

01:08:00.720 888-727-BECK.

01:08:04.040 Apparently, Rosie O'Donnell is going to be on SNL again. 1.00

01:08:06.740 Is this true?

01:08:07.600 Oh, good.

01:08:07.780 I know they were talking about it.

01:08:09.520 Good.

01:08:10.380 Just when it was getting funny.

01:08:11.020 I got to say, she's posing as Steve Bannon. 0.93

01:08:14.300 The picture she posted of Steve Bannon, she looks exactly like him.

01:08:17.600 That'll be funny.

01:08:18.240 She looks a lot like him.

01:08:20.440 Oh, you want to talk about, although I will say, Trump loves talking about his battles

01:08:26.120 with Rosie O'Donnell.

01:08:27.400 Yes.

01:08:27.600 I mean, he brought it up in not only the Republican debates, but also the general.

01:08:32.400 He brought it up during the general.

01:08:33.940 She looks just like him.

01:08:34.880 But she looks just like him.

01:08:36.340 She does.

01:08:37.100 It's incredible.

01:08:38.300 She really does.

01:08:39.440 I mean, seriously, like they look like they, because, you know, she has the hair done like, 1.00

01:08:46.000 you know, like Steve Bannon.

01:08:47.360 In a band and do.

01:08:48.380 A man.

01:08:49.100 Yeah.

01:08:49.260 A male sort of haircut, if we're allowed to still say that males exist.

01:08:55.320 And so, I mean, obviously, part of it is that.

01:08:59.060 But, I mean, really, like they look like they could be seriously family members.

01:09:02.860 I mean, they look.

01:09:03.880 Yeah.

01:09:05.440 It's incredible.

01:09:06.900 And Rosie O'Donnell is terrible in every way. 1.00

01:09:09.260 But, I mean, she can pull off the Bannon. 0.70

01:09:11.460 There's no doubt about it.

01:09:12.780 I'm kind of excited to see that.

01:09:14.820 I know.

01:09:14.840 It would be great.

01:09:15.220 I mean, yeah, if she's actually doing that, I want to see that.

01:09:18.660 Do you have her recurring that and Melissa McCarthy recurring Spicer?

01:09:22.680 We talked about this a little bit yesterday.

01:09:24.600 You couldn't get any.

01:09:26.000 They had to pick Fred Armisen, a white guy, to do Barack Obama for multiple years.

01:09:32.260 And he was awful.

01:09:33.300 He sounded nothing like Barack Obama.

01:09:36.820 Looked nothing like Barack Obama.

01:09:38.260 He was a white guy.

01:09:39.800 And the excuse we heard from them, and I think this literally was Saturday Night Live.

01:09:45.000 Well, we can't find anything funny about him.

01:09:48.340 Really?

01:09:49.280 Really.

01:09:49.980 Because we found plenty of stuff.

01:09:51.980 I mean, there was stuff every day about Barack Obama.

01:09:56.180 But they couldn't.

01:09:57.600 We can't find anything.

01:09:58.640 He's too perfect.

01:09:59.780 He's so wonderful.

01:10:00.740 Some comedian said that.

01:10:02.540 I don't remember if it was Saturday Night Live or not, but I do remember that.

01:10:04.620 Remember?

01:10:04.880 And that was really the general.

01:10:06.080 It was the general feeling among comedians that he was too perfect and they couldn't find anything to make fun of.

01:10:11.440 Of course, there's also the fear that they're going to be called racist or something else if they were to make fun of.

01:10:16.120 Some sort of conservative or middle-of-the-road sort of leading comedians said that was an issue.

01:10:24.660 But come on.

01:10:25.340 He's the president of the United States.

01:10:27.080 He's got to be able to do those things.

01:10:28.460 Have to.

01:10:28.760 But now, Donald Trump is president.

01:10:30.700 They can't stop the celebrities coming in.

01:10:33.880 Melissa McCarthy is making $20 million a movie.

01:10:36.820 And she's showing up on Saturday nights to do Sean Spicer? 0.91

01:10:40.660 Like, how the hell is this happening?

01:10:42.900 Guy, I'll bet you, if you were to poll Americans, 75% don't know who he is.

01:10:48.380 Oh, yeah.

01:10:48.880 Easy.

01:10:49.700 Easy.

01:10:50.240 Easily, 75% of Americans don't know who Sean Spicer is.

01:10:52.840 If you were to say, what is the job title of Sean Spicer?

01:10:55.820 If you got 10% of the population, I'd be surprised.

01:10:58.900 They might say, he's the, after the Melissa McCarthy thing, they probably know maybe a little bit about who he is.

01:11:04.600 A very angry guy who throws the podium at people is probably how they would describe him.

01:11:09.400 The gun-chewer.

01:11:09.840 Right, because, I mean, as we know, people identified Sarah Palin through that role.

01:11:14.660 Yeah.

01:11:15.460 You know, Donald Trump is way too well-known.

01:11:18.040 Like, Alec Baldwin could do nothing to, you know, to really influence that.

01:11:22.600 Because Donald Trump has a 40-year record in the public eye.

01:11:25.360 Everyone knows who he is.

01:11:26.280 Everyone knows.

01:11:27.060 But, like, Sean Spicer, nobody knows.

01:11:28.540 They will be able to set him as a person through Saturday Night Live if Melissa McCarthy keeps showing up.

01:11:35.480 If they haven't done that already.

01:11:36.580 If they haven't done it already.

01:11:38.040 They're already now hiring, it looks like, another person to help Spicer in that role.

01:11:43.000 Because it's usually broken into two roles.

01:11:45.080 Press secretary and head of communications or whatever it is.

01:11:47.840 So, is the speculation they're trying to push him out already?

01:11:49.900 Well, I mean.

01:11:50.640 He's terrible.

01:11:51.320 He is terrible.

01:11:51.460 I wouldn't be surprised if they, you know, we were talking about that the other day.

01:11:54.660 I really, I wouldn't be surprised to see them take him to the end.

01:12:00.620 Get rid of him here soon within the next month or two.

01:12:03.560 And then stop doing the daily press conferences.

01:12:06.120 It is one of those things that the Trump administration, you could see the Trump administration doing.

01:12:09.520 Look, why do we do these things?

01:12:11.000 Because they're tradition?

01:12:12.080 Yeah.

01:12:12.460 Why?

01:12:13.340 We'll do this once every couple weeks.

01:12:15.520 You guys want to catch up with us?

01:12:16.640 We'll do one every couple weeks.

01:12:17.940 You know what?

01:12:18.240 Follow me on Twitter.

01:12:19.100 You need to know something.

01:12:19.860 Follow me on Twitter.

01:12:20.620 Exactly.

01:12:20.920 I'm tweeting about everything every day anyway.

01:12:22.600 That's what I think.

01:12:23.440 Follow the Twitter account.

01:12:24.440 At Real Donald Trump.

01:12:25.600 I'm telling you.

01:12:26.220 I would not surprise me.

01:12:28.020 And it's not a constitutional issue.

01:12:29.900 There's nothing by law that says he must do it.

01:12:32.060 No.

01:12:32.400 So it would make a lot of sense for them to stop doing it, really.

01:12:34.700 And this is hard, obviously, for them.

01:12:36.800 You know, he's not particularly good at it.

01:12:38.720 But I mean, it's difficult.

01:12:40.020 Most people, it's an impossible role for every president.

01:12:43.240 I mean, you know, every president has, you have a lackey out there justifying every mistake you've made.

01:12:48.840 I got pissed at Tony Snow.

01:12:49.720 Tony Snow.

01:12:50.180 Because he was pushed into bad positions.

01:12:52.620 He was.

01:12:52.900 Offending really terrible immigration policies from George W. Bush.

01:12:56.940 And I liked Tony Snow.

01:12:58.360 Oh, yeah.

01:12:58.840 I knew Tony Snow.

01:13:00.060 But man, was I pissed off at him.

01:13:02.080 And you have a good one.

01:13:02.900 That's a tough role.

01:13:03.900 He was a pretty good one, even though.

01:13:05.860 But again, he was forced into these places where, you know, he was justifying things that weren't true.

01:13:10.360 Or, you know, were completely against other things that had been said.

01:13:13.520 Yeah.

01:13:13.620 You know, Dana Perino, I thought, was pretty good for Bush. 1.00

01:13:16.940 But I mean, you know, Jake, all the Jake Obama ones were terrible.

01:13:19.220 So, Ari Fleischer was great.

01:13:20.840 Yeah, he was good.

01:13:21.300 Yeah.

01:13:21.580 That guy's good.

01:13:22.200 He was good.

01:13:22.700 888-727-BECK.

01:13:23.800 More of the Glenn Beck program.

01:13:24.940 Come on up.

01:13:25.880 Sponsored for this hour is ZipRecruiter.

01:13:28.440 ZipRecruiter is great because you can post up to 200 plus job sites at once.

01:13:32.460 Think about this.

01:13:32.880 When you're trying to get the best people in your company, you need to have them.

01:13:35.500 That is the lifeblood of your company.

01:13:37.620 Whatever problems we have here are because of Jeffy.

01:13:40.000 Everyone knows that.

01:13:41.300 And so you don't want to have a Jeffy. 1.00

01:13:43.040 You're going to hire someone in an important role.

01:13:44.660 What if you get him?

01:13:45.820 You don't want that to happen.

01:13:47.260 Trust me.

01:13:47.900 I can speak on real experience on this one.

01:13:50.360 If we'd had ZipRecruiter back then, this mistake would not have been made.

01:13:54.500 It would not have happened.

01:13:54.980 It would not have happened.

01:13:56.020 It would not have happened.

01:13:57.100 And think about this.

01:13:57.680 If you're selling something on eBay, right?

01:14:00.300 Do you want there to be, you've posted to one site.

01:14:04.840 What if you could post it to 200 different auction sites?

01:14:07.920 Would you get a better price?

01:14:09.060 Of course.

01:14:09.560 More people will be looking at it.

01:14:10.620 More people will be there.

01:14:11.460 And you get better candidates.

01:14:12.960 That's what ZipRecruiter does for you. 0.98

01:14:14.560 They get results.

01:14:15.280 It's the reason why they've been used by Fortune 100 companies and thousands of small and medium-sized businesses.

01:14:48.120 Remember the Gang of Eight, Bill?

01:14:52.660 There was a report that the White House was open to it.

01:14:57.420 I saw that, yeah.

01:14:58.320 They're denying that report, and they better not be open to it because wouldn't that be a betrayal of everything he said during the campaign?

01:15:06.960 Well, people, and the other, the reason why this is getting a little bit of steam is because one of the first things, even I, as a person who is not, was not a Trump fander in the primary, and, you know, I'm not a big supporter of the guy.

01:15:20.400 But he, one of the first things I thought he would do was repeal the DACA illegal immigrant Obama era regulation.

01:15:31.600 Yes, yeah.

01:15:31.900 I thought it was literally the first thing he would do was step in and get rid of that because it was so crazy.

01:15:36.340 Yeah.

01:15:36.520 And to come in there, that's an easy first step.

01:15:39.740 He could do it by himself.

01:15:41.380 And they have said, at least through spokespeople, well, we're going to wait and see if we can get something done in Congress.

01:15:47.580 Which is, I mean, it certainly is making people who have a hard line on that issue a little uneasy.

01:15:53.880 I'm a little uneasy with it.

01:15:55.100 I mean, the Gang of Eight is what, you know, that really hurt Marco Rubio's chances of the president of the United States.

01:16:01.820 And Trump beat him to death with that.

01:16:03.860 Yes.

01:16:04.060 He beat him over the head with it often, and so I'm hoping they're not open to it, and they're saying they're not, but those were the reports.

01:16:14.240 I guess we'll see.

01:16:18.280 Come on.

01:16:19.040 Back.

01:16:21.400 Mercury.

01:17:43.480 He's off.

01:17:44.240 He lost his voice.

01:17:46.520 Strangely, it's also his birthday.

01:17:48.400 Also the birthday boy.

01:17:50.540 Valentine's Day next week.

01:17:51.520 We'll tell you all about the genius way one guy's trying to get all the ladies.

01:17:57.700 And this woman sounding off about the Affordable Care Act.

01:18:02.940 Oh, God, not this.

01:18:03.780 And how Christian it is.

01:18:05.180 Was this at a town hall meeting?

01:18:06.560 Yes.

01:18:07.300 Whose?

01:18:07.740 Do you know?

01:18:08.040 I don't know.

01:18:09.380 We'll start there right now.

01:18:11.940 I will make a stand.

01:18:14.260 I will raise my voice.

01:18:16.540 I will hold your hand.

01:18:18.940 Because we are one.

01:18:20.920 I will beat my drum.

01:18:23.180 I have made my choice.

01:18:25.460 We will overcome.

01:18:27.720 Because we are one.

01:18:29.580 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:18:32.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:39.180 888-727-BECK.

01:18:40.540 Pat and Stu.

01:18:41.860 Glenn will, I think, definitely be back.

01:18:43.800 Hopefully on.

01:18:44.780 Definitely.

01:18:45.460 Hopefully.

01:18:45.600 Hopefully.

01:18:46.380 Hopefully.

01:18:47.100 Definitely.

01:18:47.540 For sure.

01:18:48.440 Maybe.

01:18:49.140 On Monday.

01:18:51.000 Meantime.

01:18:52.280 We're going to play this because this is agonizing.

01:18:57.060 This woman who purports to be Christian, is she supposedly conservative, too?

01:19:03.920 That's the story I read about.

01:19:06.260 It said that she was.

01:19:07.300 Come on.

01:19:08.300 She's a Republican and a Christian conservative and just can't understand this Republican position

01:19:15.040 on Obamacare.

01:19:16.120 And what's most frustrating about this is like, again, this goes back to the theme of the day.

01:19:21.900 This sort of widespread acceptance without questioning.

01:19:25.740 Right?

01:19:26.120 Like, I mean, listen to the points that are made here.

01:19:29.120 And what's frustrating about it is it's just immediately embraced by the left.

01:19:33.260 It's so ridiculous.

01:19:33.820 Listen to these great points by this.

01:19:36.080 There's one good Christian in the world who's honest and finally.

01:19:39.840 Only one that understands it.

01:19:41.580 Only one that understands.

01:19:42.320 Only one.

01:19:43.040 And here she is laying this out.

01:19:44.460 We need to take this piece by piece.

01:19:45.600 My question is lengthy, okay?

01:19:47.300 So bear with me.

01:19:48.420 My name is Jesse Bohan and I'm in your district.

01:19:51.780 It's from my understanding the ACA mandate requires everybody to have insurance because

01:19:56.680 the healthy people pull up the sick people.

01:19:59.900 Okay.

01:20:00.460 So it's her understanding that the mandate is in place because the healthy people pull

01:20:07.320 up the sick people.

01:20:09.460 Now, of course, that's not how it was sold, right?

01:20:11.740 You don't sell it to young people by saying, by the way, you're going to pay for all the

01:20:15.960 people who are older and sick.

01:20:17.960 Oh, yeah.

01:20:18.660 Whether you have a problem with that or not, when you're 21, you're paying for the 75-year-olds. 0.96

01:20:22.760 And that is absolutely what they attempted to do with Obamacare.

01:20:25.500 It's fundamentally, it's a foundational part of it.

01:20:29.060 So.

01:20:30.060 How excited would you be if that's what you're told?

01:20:32.980 Right.

01:20:33.200 Hey, you don't need this, but you're paying for people down the road.

01:20:36.480 Of course.

01:20:37.200 Well, wait.

01:20:37.900 How is that fair?

01:20:39.080 Every advertisement for Obamacare, which hopefully we're very close to seeing the end of them,

01:20:45.200 is some 22-year-old pretty cool-looking guy, maybe an attractive young female.

01:20:52.800 I'm happy.

01:20:53.740 I used to have no insurance, and now I have insurance.

01:20:55.880 And now I do.

01:20:56.620 It's changed my life.

01:20:58.380 Look at these wonderful things.

01:20:59.780 Actually, what Obamacare does is take the money from people like you and give it to older, 0.99

01:21:04.140 sicker people.

01:21:05.120 Now, that is a foundational part of Obamacare.

01:21:08.840 It's the only reason that, even in theory, you could argue that it would potentially work,

01:21:13.860 which it didn't.

01:21:15.080 But, I mean, you could at least argue, okay, what we're going to do is we're going to take

01:21:17.940 all these people who won't get health care.

01:21:21.140 Again, they'll enter themselves into losing propositions where, because they're 22 years

01:21:26.960 old, they will be healthy and not really need the doctor, not need to spend all this money

01:21:30.500 on health care.

01:21:30.920 But they're going to be paying for it.

01:21:32.220 But they're going to be paying for it.

01:21:32.880 Even though they don't need to.

01:21:34.020 Even though they don't need to.

01:21:34.760 So they can support you down the road.

01:21:35.880 And, of course, there are one out of, I don't know, 100 22-year-olds that have health problems.

01:21:40.820 And it would help that one out of 100.

01:21:42.260 But 99 out of 100 all have losing propositions.

01:21:45.960 So if we get enough young idiots to support this program and give them all real, terrible 1.00

01:21:52.900 losing propositions, we can support the other part of this, which is a giant handout to other

01:21:57.740 people.

01:21:58.620 Again, that's if you like it.

01:22:01.740 If you like it, that's the philosophy behind it.

01:22:04.000 And she at least seems to understand that.

01:22:05.720 That's just point one.

01:22:06.440 Yes.

01:22:07.200 Just a faulty point one.

01:22:09.560 And as a Christian, my whole philosophy in life is pull up the unfortunate.

01:22:16.920 Okay.

01:22:17.340 Her whole philosophy in life is to pull up the unfortunate. 1.00

01:22:21.280 Really?

01:22:21.600 Is that on you?

01:22:22.600 Sweetie, are you pulling up the unfortunate?

01:22:25.060 Or are you expecting the government to pull up the unfortunate?

01:22:29.760 And, by extension, other people, right?

01:22:31.900 And other people.

01:22:32.320 Yes, Christianity supports and encourages the idea that you would help out someone less 0.96

01:22:40.400 fortunate than you.

01:22:41.100 But that you would do that.

01:22:42.360 You would do that.

01:22:42.940 It's in your heart.

01:22:44.260 And that's really the...

01:22:45.700 That's her whole philosophy.

01:22:47.060 Her whole philosophy.

01:22:47.900 So the philosophy in general, we can all agree, good idea as a Christian to help those less

01:22:52.220 fortunate.

01:22:52.680 Sure.

01:22:52.900 The way that you do that is important.

01:22:54.800 Yes.

01:22:55.020 If your way to help the less fortunate is to steal from people and help the less fortunate,

01:23:02.740 that's probably not something Christianity would encourage.

01:23:04.920 In fact, that's flat out evil.

01:23:05.960 Hmm.

01:23:06.540 Okay?

01:23:06.920 That's evil.

01:23:07.900 And I can tell you this.

01:23:10.820 It is absolutely...

01:23:12.700 There's nowhere in the Bible you're going to trip upon a sentence that says, you know

01:23:17.600 what, if the government can mandate those people to take care of other people, an individual

01:23:23.680 mandate with a tax fine attached does not appear in the Bible.

01:23:28.260 You don't need to help anymore.

01:23:29.780 Except for the part...

01:23:30.740 Do you remember the part in the scriptures where Jesus is walking down the street with

01:23:36.500 his disciples?

01:23:37.320 Yes.

01:23:37.460 Right?

01:23:37.660 There's a whole crowd of people around him.

01:23:39.400 A whole crowd of people.

01:23:40.340 No, there always was.

01:23:41.040 He always had his posse.

01:23:42.720 Yeah.

01:23:42.980 Yeah, he had a posse around him.

01:23:44.400 There's no doubt about that.

01:23:45.560 And so he's walking down the street.

01:23:47.520 This woman with an issue of blood, she's bleeding. 1.00

01:23:50.000 Oh, no.

01:23:50.300 And has been for, I think, 12 years, if I remember correctly, comes up to him and wants

01:23:54.160 to touch his robe because she thinks that'll heal him.

01:23:56.880 And he says, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:23:59.100 Hey, sister, have you signed up for Julius Caesar care?

01:24:04.360 Don't be touching me because you've got to get the affordable care Caesar care mandate

01:24:11.240 thing going on.

01:24:12.980 Don't be touching me over that, okay?

01:24:15.320 Yeah.

01:24:15.920 I do remember that.

01:24:16.820 Remember that part?

01:24:17.600 That was one exception in the Bible.

01:24:19.540 Are you signed up for Caesar care?

01:24:22.580 That was really an important part.

01:24:25.160 I think that was in Paul.

01:24:28.560 Well, not Paul.

01:24:31.020 John, Ringo, I don't know.

01:24:32.700 It was in Ringo.

01:24:33.020 It was in Ringo.

01:24:33.840 Okay.

01:24:34.260 So the individual mandate, that's what it does.

01:24:36.860 The healthy people pull up the sick.

01:24:39.320 Yes.

01:24:39.640 First of all, that's in theory what it does.

01:24:44.240 It doesn't actually do that, of course.

01:24:45.540 It doesn't do that.

01:24:46.180 Still multiple millions of people remain uninsured.

01:24:49.700 So the individual mandate has not cured that problem.

01:24:52.060 It has leveled fines on people who can't, in theory, afford health insurance.

01:24:58.660 Multiple millions of people have had to pay the government for nothing.

01:25:02.380 That is what the individual mandate has accomplished.

01:25:05.020 That is not something, I don't think that's in the Bible either.

01:25:07.880 I'm going to go out and live and say, I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

01:25:10.620 We put them in high-risk insurance pools.

01:25:13.560 They're costlier and they get, there's less coverage for them.

01:25:17.660 That's the way it's been in the past and that's the way it will be again.

01:25:21.380 Okay, that's a great point.

01:25:22.680 So the Republican response to this, as one of the responses, we don't even have a plan yet, obviously, that we know is being debated, but high-risk pools.

01:25:30.840 So you can still cover people who are in these situations, but instead of taking over one-fifth of the economy, you find the real slice of people who need it.

01:25:39.380 For example, when we would go back and find, when we were debating Obamacare, there were, you know, obviously tens of millions of people without insurance.

01:25:46.620 But what you found out is a lot of them had plenty of money to buy insurance.

01:25:50.020 They just chose not to, making over $75,000 or $100,000 a year.

01:25:55.280 Many of them young and, you know, just felt like it was not, there was no need for insurance.

01:26:01.480 Some of them who just lost their job for a couple months and then got back on insurance anyway were counted as uninsured.

01:26:07.020 There was all sorts of people like that.

01:26:08.980 Here is, so the solution from Republicans, or one of the proposed solutions, is high-risk pools that would cure some of this for the real slice of people that do kind of fall between the cracks.

01:26:18.840 So that's been their proposal.

01:26:21.300 She says that that will be more costly and it will be inefficient and it will get them worse care.

01:26:26.460 And that's the way it was before and that's the way it will be in the future.

01:26:29.940 An important part to remember.

01:26:31.920 An important part to remember.

01:26:33.260 Because why do you know that?

01:26:35.100 Why couldn't you do a high-risk pool in a more efficient way?

01:26:38.400 Maybe if someone designed it without the care or the idea that eventually we get to a single-payer program, something like that would work better.

01:26:45.200 Who knows?

01:26:46.320 But that's an important part that she says there.

01:26:49.180 Because she just says, basically, in her opinion, it hasn't worked before.

01:26:52.860 So, therefore, it will not work in the future.

01:26:54.280 We are effectively punishing our sickest people.

01:26:59.160 And I want to know why not, instead of fix what's wrong with Obamacare, make companies like Aetna that pulled out and lied to their consumers about why they pulled out and said they pulled out because Obamacare was too expensive?

01:27:12.140 Okay, so there's two points there.

01:27:13.360 This is not a conservative.

01:27:15.440 This is not a Republican.

01:27:17.680 No.

01:27:18.320 I don't know who this woman is, but she's neither conservative nor Republican, would be my guess. 1.00

01:27:24.680 Right.

01:27:25.500 And is she Christian?

01:27:27.180 I don't know.

01:27:27.980 I don't hear any evidence.

01:27:29.280 Christians, I don't know where this mindset came from that Jesus wanted the government to take care of anything.

01:27:35.620 He never said anything about any of that.

01:27:38.380 He seemed to have real disagreements with the government.

01:27:40.160 Yes, he did.

01:27:40.840 I don't know if you remember.

01:27:41.840 Yeah, he really did.

01:27:42.820 It's kind of a famous scene where he's being crucified.

01:27:46.100 Yeah.

01:27:46.440 It might indicate some issues.

01:27:47.840 You came from a government.

01:27:50.680 Jeez.

01:27:51.500 It's kind of a big part of the Bible.

01:27:53.140 It was one of the more memorable scenes.

01:27:55.260 Jesus had an individual mandate for every individual.

01:28:00.200 It was not a governmental mandate.

01:28:02.820 It was not.

01:28:03.760 It was take care of each other.

01:28:05.800 That's what it was.

01:28:06.940 That's what it was.

01:28:07.780 Yeah.

01:28:08.240 And there's no pay Caesar so that Caesar can decide who needs that money and he could squander most of it on himself and then distribute whatever is left over that he feels like to a few people in need.

01:28:24.680 I mean, there was never anything like that.

01:28:27.140 I don't know how we got to this place.

01:28:28.860 It's crazy.

01:28:29.420 And there's plenty of places in the Bible that says the exact opposite.

01:28:32.460 The opposite.

01:28:32.920 That is not.

01:28:33.420 Opposite.

01:28:33.980 So another part of this that I love is she says high risk pools.

01:28:38.600 Look, they're going to be more costly, less efficient.

01:28:41.340 That's the way it was before.

01:28:42.560 That's the way it's going to be in the future.

01:28:43.600 But let's pick let's just fix the parts of Obamacare that don't work. 0.95

01:28:47.120 Well, under this premise, wouldn't it didn't work in the past?

01:28:50.880 Wouldn't it not work in the future?

01:28:52.420 You're just picking the really liberal idea and saying you can fix that one and saying the more conservative idea, which isn't really conservative, but a more conservative idea that when you can't fix, that's impossible.

01:29:03.860 And the next part is Aetna.

01:29:06.000 Well, they lied to their consumers and they pulled out of of all health care and they weren't really didn't do it because of cost.

01:29:13.280 They did it because they had a merger.

01:29:16.840 70 percent.

01:29:17.880 I believe the number is 70 percent.

01:29:19.220 I don't have it in front of me, but we've talked about it earlier this week.

01:29:21.660 70 percent of counties in America have only two choices for Obamacare.

01:29:26.060 Only two.

01:29:27.400 So are did every health care company in America all merge at the same time and drop out because of mergers?

01:29:35.300 Like the cost is an issue.

01:29:37.460 These people are having issues with it and they like money.

01:29:41.720 If they could go in there and enter into these areas and make more money, they would.

01:29:47.060 The issue is that they're finding it the most efficient way for them to make a profit is to stay out of them.

01:29:52.360 Now, they're making money in some places and their profits have increased because they've been able to target the right places with the right plans and they've been able to make that work.

01:30:01.640 But the reason they've been able to make it work is because a lot of them are not even involved in it.

01:30:05.620 They're dropping out of Obamacare.

01:30:07.400 They're moving to only specific areas where they can make it work.

01:30:10.460 That's why most people don't have many choices.

01:30:12.900 They have two or one choice for Obamacare.

01:30:15.920 So all of this, and this is, you know, some heroic moment for the left.

01:30:21.640 I mean, this is just, you know, I'm sure she's a really nice person and cares about this.

01:30:26.080 She does seem to be like she really, you know, like cares about this and I'm sure her heart is into it.

01:30:31.860 But man, I mean, these are just, these are all flawed arguments that don't make any sense.

01:30:36.060 Yeah, she's an idiot. 1.00

01:30:37.480 Well, I mean, her whole philosophy in life is to pull up the unfortunate. 1.00

01:30:40.960 Yeah, yeah, that's her whole philosophy.

01:30:43.760 But they really pulled out because of a merger.

01:30:47.000 Why don't we expand Medicaid and have everybody have insurance? 0.83

01:30:52.020 Okay, stop.

01:30:53.420 So her idea is expanding Medicaid.

01:30:56.120 And just have.

01:30:56.800 This is a conservative, by the way.

01:30:58.080 Universal health coverage.

01:30:59.780 Yeah.

01:31:00.100 That's a conservative.

01:31:00.920 Right.

01:31:01.320 We want to admit Medicaid.

01:31:03.060 Single payer.

01:31:03.600 A government run, single payer health care program.

01:31:06.160 Medicaid.

01:31:06.440 I mean, you've heard this argument from so many liberals where it's like, oh, well, why don't we just give Medicare to everyone?

01:31:11.120 Medicare works so great.

01:31:12.280 Does it?

01:31:12.780 Because it's basically bankrupting us as a nation.

01:31:14.860 Does it work so great?

01:31:15.940 Does it?

01:31:16.760 Because, I mean, we're, you know what, $20 trillion in debt.

01:31:19.700 The biggest chunk of it is Medicare.

01:31:22.160 Yeah.

01:31:22.760 Yes.

01:31:23.140 The biggest chunk.

01:31:23.980 So let's expand.

01:31:24.760 And our biggest chunk of unfunded liabilities, Medicare.

01:31:27.620 Yeah.

01:31:27.960 $100 trillion.

01:31:29.760 The biggest part of that.

01:31:30.320 And about $75 trillion of that is Medicare.

01:31:32.860 Yeah.

01:31:33.240 Debt.

01:31:33.900 All those things.

01:31:34.660 And so whether you like the program or not, it's a complete disaster when it comes to our finances.

01:31:39.720 And they just want to keep, they want to expand it because that gives them control of the situation.

01:31:44.580 This is, look, these are not good arguments.

01:31:46.980 These are not good arguments.

01:31:48.540 But everybody latches onto it and says, see, here's some conservative Christian who finally gets it.

01:31:54.220 Yeah.

01:31:54.520 No, she doesn't.

01:31:55.200 That's exactly it.

01:31:55.620 No, she doesn't.

01:31:56.280 This being passed around is more about the vilification of your average Christian than it is, and I'm not saying she's saying doing this, but like the left loves the idea that a Christian came out and agreed with their viewpoint.

01:32:10.540 So they tried out, this is what real Christians are. 1.00

01:32:13.440 They advance my worldview.

01:32:15.580 This is the real one.

01:32:17.460 And look, I'm sure this is what she believes or what Pat said.

01:32:22.820 She's an idiot. 1.00

01:32:23.580 But I just think that you have to have some factual basis behind these things.

01:32:29.840 Yes.

01:32:30.280 And there's no reason to come out and believe that this is going to just start magically working if you fix it.

01:32:37.880 They had a chance to fix it.

01:32:39.260 They had complete control when they passed this.

01:32:43.300 Complete control.

01:32:45.560 There was no Republican voice included in this bill.

01:32:49.980 They have zero responsibility for it.

01:32:52.960 And it pains me that people can't defend Christianity better than this.

01:32:58.700 You know, they'll just accept, oh, yeah, she's got a really good argument there.

01:33:03.340 That's what Jesus would want is for the government to pull up everybody by taxing the wealthiest and have them pull up the poorest and the sickest.

01:33:14.280 That's not.

01:33:16.120 That's not the way the golden rule is.

01:33:19.760 We're supposed to take care of each other.

01:33:21.900 And it's our individual responsibility.

01:33:24.600 And we don't cede that to the government because the government is the most inefficient way of getting help to people.

01:33:32.940 It's the most inefficient way in the world.

01:33:35.840 It's the dumbest way to do this.

01:33:38.380 And it leads to socialism.

01:33:42.100 Socialism is just flat out evil.

01:33:44.440 It's just flat out evil.

01:33:46.000 Taking away people's choice to be charitable, to be good, to be loving, and forcing them, that's Satan's plan.

01:33:55.360 That's not God's plan.

01:34:23.680 Hey, I want to talk to you a little bit about the trouble that I have sometimes with my son and my daughter.

01:34:28.280 They love the internet, as I do.

01:34:30.320 The internet is an incredible resource.

01:34:32.820 Educational, social, recreational.

01:34:34.520 It's all good.

01:34:35.080 Except it's not all good.

01:34:36.360 Some of it is real bad.

01:34:37.940 And it can show up on your kid's screen when you least expect it.

01:34:41.020 So, how do you as a parent handle it?

01:34:43.280 I want to tell you about Hero Parental Control.

01:35:29.700 888-727-BECK.

01:35:31.340 Pat Stew and Jeffie for Glenn, who's out sick today.

01:35:34.700 We've been talking about this woman in Tennessee who's at a town hall of a Republican congressperson.

01:35:42.200 But she sure doesn't sound like a Republican or a conservative.

01:35:47.820 And, you know, this is not Christian theology.

01:35:51.780 She's trying to make it out as if it is, but it's not.

01:35:57.100 This is not.

01:35:59.120 The Christian theology does not state that you should pay taxes to a government and then they should distribute them as they see fit to the poor.

01:36:09.260 That's not how it works.

01:36:10.740 And it's just such an easy concept.

01:36:13.280 I don't know how it's not slapped down more often.

01:36:17.060 But it never is.

01:36:18.520 Yeah, and she kind of lays out what she thinks here.

01:36:20.680 Yeah.

01:36:21.780 And as a Christian, my whole philosophy in life is pull up the unfortunate.

01:36:28.820 Okay.

01:36:29.360 That's her whole philosophy in life.

01:36:30.660 Pull up the unfortunate.

01:36:31.800 But how?

01:36:32.660 But how, right?

01:36:34.140 Should you be forced to do that?

01:36:35.700 Listen to this.

01:36:36.120 This is from everyone's favorite book of the Bible, 2 Corinthians.

01:36:41.980 It really is.

01:36:42.940 Each one of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give.

01:36:50.780 You should not give if it makes you unhappy or if you feel forced to give.

01:36:58.200 God loves those who are happy to give.

01:37:02.780 In other words, you as an individual should be pleased to do these things on your own.

01:37:07.940 And that's what the Bible is talking about.

01:37:10.480 If you feel forced to do it, you shouldn't do it.

01:37:13.320 They actually go further than saying, well, you know what?

01:37:16.140 If you feel forced to do it, you've got to go along with it, but you shouldn't feel good about it.

01:37:19.200 No, you shouldn't do it is what it actually says in 2 Corinthians, which I'm bringing to my tax attorney very soon.

01:37:25.660 And saying, I feel forced to give, the Bible says right here I shouldn't do it.

01:37:29.540 So I'm just letting you know, just let Uncle Sam know, no check coming this year.

01:37:34.580 See how that works out.

01:37:35.920 Let us know how that works.

01:37:37.160 Okay.

01:37:37.940 That's a good argument.

01:37:38.980 Uh-huh.

01:37:39.380 Right?

01:37:39.880 During your one phone call that you get to make afterwards, make sure you call us and tell us how it's going.

01:37:45.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:48.160 Mercury.

01:37:49.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:54.080 Hi.

01:37:55.660 Pat, Stu and Jeffy, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.

01:38:02.920 We talked yesterday on Pat and Stu a little bit about the Trump conversation with Putin about the START situation.

01:38:10.280 The START Program Treaty.

01:38:13.960 Supposedly in an hour-long conversation with Vladimir Putin, the president made it clear that he thought the START Treaty was a bad deal for the U.S.

01:38:22.940 However, he called it START UP.

01:38:24.600 Well, he called it START UP in the debate.

01:38:27.380 In the debate.

01:38:28.040 Yes.

01:38:28.480 Right.

01:38:29.680 And during the conversation, the thing was, supposedly Putin brought it up, and then...

01:38:35.980 He said it was...

01:38:36.920 Or he didn't know what it was initially.

01:38:38.540 And Trump didn't know what it was and asked one of his advisors while he was on the phone with Putin.

01:38:42.120 What is that again?

01:38:43.440 And then he said, oh, yeah, yeah, it's a bad deal.

01:38:45.560 Yeah, bad deal.

01:38:46.880 Because that is...

01:38:48.100 I don't know.

01:38:48.660 As a side note from that, that is President Trump's fallback position if he doesn't understand exactly what it is.

01:38:56.200 It's a bad deal.

01:38:57.200 Yeah, and to be...

01:38:58.140 Yeah.

01:38:58.740 To be clear, he actually, I think, believes this every time.

01:39:02.540 And the reason is because he didn't negotiate it.

01:39:06.820 Like, Donald Trump believes he's such a great negotiator that if he was in place at that time, the deal would be better.

01:39:11.740 So, therefore, every deal that has been negotiated when he wasn't there is bad because he would have been able to do better.

01:39:19.280 You know, look, that's supreme confidence.

01:39:20.860 Obviously, he's had that as a businessman over the years, and it's helped him in many ways.

01:39:25.160 And surely, there are many examples of that being completely true.

01:39:29.560 You know, he doesn't seem to have a grasp on that, but, I mean, he's been in the job for four weeks.

01:39:33.020 He'd kind of hope he would, but...

01:39:34.900 Yeah.

01:39:35.280 Or at least, here's the other thing you could say.

01:39:37.040 It's completely independent of Trump.

01:39:38.480 But some advisor has got to come to him before this freaking call and say, I don't know, the big deal treaty that has been discussed for, you know, the New START treaty and, you know, this nuclear negotiation has been going on for a very long time.

01:39:55.900 This would limit it to 1,550 nuclear weapons each.

01:39:58.240 Yeah, just over 1,500 nukes apiece, which I...

01:40:03.480 Wow.

01:40:04.000 It's a lot still.

01:40:04.680 It's a lot, but it's way less than...

01:40:07.720 Him not having the information in front of him, being able to get it.

01:40:10.880 How is, you know, Bannon or Priebus or whoever not coming to him and saying, okay, here is a one-sheeter on what this treaty would do, where it stands now, what the history is of it.

01:40:23.880 He's...

01:40:24.300 They've got to prep him for that.

01:40:25.720 I mean, in a way, you know, you kind of wish he was up on this, obviously, as president, but, like, how is he not being briefed by his staff on something like that?

01:40:31.900 Especially after the debate where he called it the START-UP treaty.

01:40:35.440 You would have thought that between the debate and now, somebody would have said, hey, it's not START-UP.

01:40:40.700 It's not the...

01:40:41.200 Do you know what START stands for?

01:40:43.100 It's the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

01:40:46.940 So the word UP doesn't really fit after it.

01:40:51.020 Reduction Treaty UP?

01:40:52.160 Although, a lot of people would say and had said that the word UP didn't work after word, but word UP became a classic hit.

01:41:02.080 That's true.

01:41:03.200 That's true.

01:41:03.740 Of the 80s.

01:41:04.500 Word UP.

01:41:05.000 Word UP works.

01:41:06.360 So START-UP, maybe it works.

01:41:09.300 I mean, it works in some contexts.

01:41:10.520 But, yeah, and it's really inconceivable, and we keep using that word.

01:41:15.580 I know.

01:41:16.080 Maybe it doesn't mean what we think it means, but it's inconceivable that nobody has done that.

01:41:21.000 Yeah.

01:41:21.420 It really is.

01:41:22.580 That's a staff.

01:41:23.600 That's on the staff, I think.

01:41:24.760 That's definitely on the staff.

01:41:26.320 Partially on the staff.

01:41:27.600 He needs to be able to know that.

01:41:28.460 Now, of course, you know, these are reports, and you never know.

01:41:32.120 We were not in on the call.

01:41:33.260 They're going to obviously say that didn't happen.

01:41:34.900 I mean, that's obviously embarrassing.

01:41:36.380 And I think they had three sources that were, you know, in the room or whatever saying it.

01:41:41.200 You never know what this stuff could be BS.

01:41:43.000 I mean, but it just comes down to, you know, he, the same thing with Flynn is going on now.

01:41:50.300 Where Flynn, his national security advisor, who has had close ties with Russia, and that was one of the big questions.

01:41:58.240 I think it was one of his worst appointments.

01:41:59.900 I think there were a lot of good ones.

01:42:00.880 We discussed them.

01:42:01.500 He's a Democrat, too.

01:42:02.260 He's a Democrat, yeah.

01:42:03.120 So, I mean, I would say, you know what, if I'm getting in as a Republican president, I'm going to go with zero Democrats appointed.

01:42:08.020 That's just my thing, but I understand that, you know, that's not always the thing.

01:42:11.020 So, he puts Flynn in there, and Flynn works very, you know, closely with Russia.

01:42:15.140 Apparently, he was on the phone with Russia and the ambassador before they took office.

01:42:19.960 This is sort of a big deal in diplomatic circles because there's only supposed to be one president at a time.

01:42:25.380 So, you can't put sort of conflicting messages out there.

01:42:29.000 Initially, Flynn said he had never talked to them about these specifics.

01:42:32.580 Now, he's saying, well, I can't really remember.

01:42:35.360 I can't confirm whether I did or whether I didn't.

01:42:37.320 I can't really remember.

01:42:39.460 It's not a, is it the biggest deal in the world that he, you know, made this call a couple weeks early?

01:42:43.520 I mean, I don't know.

01:42:44.140 Probably not.

01:42:45.200 But it's, you know, you should probably be telling the truth from the beginning on that, and it doesn't seem like.

01:42:50.620 The stories have changed.

01:42:51.840 Let's put it that way.

01:42:53.260 So, it's a weird thing to watch.

01:42:55.480 And, you know, it does make you a little nervous.

01:42:57.360 But every day he's in office is probably another day where he's, you know, closer to that point where he has a grasp on all these things.

01:43:05.140 I hope so.

01:43:05.580 I mean, it's hard.

01:43:06.080 It's a hard job.

01:43:07.000 It really is.

01:43:07.840 And I agree with him.

01:43:08.740 I think that virtually every nuclear treaty we sign with Russia is probably a bad one because they cheat.

01:43:16.900 They just don't do what they say they're going to.

01:43:19.780 So, we wind up unilaterally disarming while they continue to build up.

01:43:24.820 I mean, I just don't trust the Russians to do this. 0.99

01:43:26.900 Well, they can't.

01:43:27.300 That's what the treaty is all about.

01:43:28.800 Right.

01:43:29.180 We're talking about it.

01:43:30.020 That's right.

01:43:30.400 That's what the first start treaty was.

01:43:32.080 Right.

01:43:32.600 And then the second start up.

01:43:33.940 And then the new start treaty, the start up treaty, same thing.

01:43:37.900 Thank you.

01:43:38.540 And so, that's how we went from 40,000 nukes to 5,000 or 7,000, whatever the number is.

01:43:47.220 And they went from 5 to 40.

01:43:50.280 Because we're doing these treaties with them, and we're not monitoring them.

01:43:54.260 And they're saying, yeah, we're doing it.

01:43:56.280 That's no problem.

01:43:57.340 Yeah.

01:43:58.100 Are you doing more nukes?

01:43:59.540 Are you making nukes?

01:44:00.740 Nyet.

01:44:01.640 Oh, okay.

01:44:02.780 All right.

01:44:04.960 I don't trust them.

01:44:06.240 And this happened throughout, obviously, the Cold War as well.

01:44:08.900 I mean, when we started off building nukes, obviously, we all know when they were used initially.

01:44:14.260 But you go to, really, we peaked in about 1965 with the amount of nuclear weapons we had, which is about 32,000.

01:44:21.060 There were a lot.

01:44:21.900 32,000 nuclear weapons.

01:44:23.200 From then on, we just cut, and cut, and cut, and cut, and cut.

01:44:28.160 A slow decline through all that period.

01:44:31.240 Russia, however, did not.

01:44:32.680 In 1965, Russia had about 5,000.

01:44:35.160 So, we were leading that battle 32,000 to 5,000.

01:44:37.940 Yes.

01:44:38.400 We could destroy the world way more times than they could.

01:44:41.220 Way more times than them.

01:44:42.500 Yeah.

01:44:43.100 But again, this is about trust between two sides, right?

01:44:46.280 So, it goes to, by 1975, they...

01:44:48.980 What if we would have nuked everybody, like, between 1945 and 51, before they got the nukes? 0.79

01:44:55.420 There's nothing they could have done about it.

01:44:57.020 Right?

01:44:57.780 We missed the boat then.

01:44:59.280 We should have nuked everybody back then.

01:45:00.980 A good policy, and very consistent with my Christian view of the world.

01:45:03.960 Yes!

01:45:05.440 Nuke everyone that doesn't agree.

01:45:06.760 Nuke them before they can nuke us.

01:45:08.120 So, by 1975, they had tied us.

01:45:10.720 So, we were up 32,000 to 5,000 in the mid-60s.

01:45:14.600 By the mid-70s, it was tied at about 25,000.

01:45:18.200 However, while we continued to decline, Russia continued to keep making nuclear weapons all the way up into the late 80s.

01:45:25.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:45:25.580 And they were, and they, while we were 20 years into a decline of our nuclear arsenal, they peaked at 40,000 nuclear weapons.

01:45:34.800 It was unilateral disarmament.

01:45:36.620 And it wasn't until they ran out of money until they really started cutting back.

01:45:40.760 Yep.

01:45:41.000 And now we're about the same.

01:45:42.320 We're about, you know, I don't know, less than 5,000.

01:45:45.440 We're in the 5,000 range, right?

01:45:46.380 And this wants to cut it to 1,550, which is still, again, we could probably do some damage with 1,550 nuclear weapons.

01:45:53.380 Yes, you could.

01:45:53.820 Not to mention, they're a lot more powerful than back in the day.

01:45:56.160 Yeah.

01:45:56.520 But it's a fascinating thing to see.

01:46:00.040 We've seen these people mislead us the entire time these weapons have existed.

01:46:07.160 Everyone has been secretive with them.

01:46:09.300 Everyone misleads everybody else about them.

01:46:11.900 They keep saying, we're not going to do any tests.

01:46:13.900 You know, North Korea and India and Pakistan, we're not going to do any tests.

01:46:18.040 They test.

01:46:19.300 They keep building them.

01:46:20.320 We have no idea, really, how many each country has.

01:46:23.820 But, I mean, would you be surprised if Russia did not have 1,550 when this thing was over and instead had 8,000?

01:46:31.080 No.

01:46:31.420 No.

01:46:32.180 I don't think anybody would be surprised by that.

01:46:34.500 No.

01:46:34.920 Only finances limit those things.

01:46:39.380 You know, Vladimir Putin might say the economy, I mean, because apparently some of the sanctions we've had on them are working, which is why it's disconcerting that we might get rid of them.

01:46:47.200 But, you know, the only thing that stops these guys are money.

01:46:51.500 It's like, oh, you know, we don't have the cash to build them.

01:46:55.900 That's what stopped them last time.

01:46:57.500 And, you know, the only thing is getting in trouble, you know, with sanctions and worse if they get caught.

01:47:04.400 But, you know, that doesn't seem to be a big concern.

01:47:06.140 They're murdering journalists.

01:47:07.300 And I don't seem all that concerned about getting caught.

01:47:10.460 And especially now that, you know, they're good friends, supposedly.

01:47:14.100 Right?

01:47:14.520 And we're all just one big happy family right now.

01:47:18.960 Putin's a great guy.

01:47:21.060 Putin can be trusted.

01:47:22.760 Putin's a friend.

01:47:24.780 Russia's wonderful.

01:47:25.860 He's a strong leader.

01:47:27.460 I mean, for some reason, we've lost all suspicion of them.

01:47:31.840 And, well, the reason is seemingly Donald Trump.

01:47:35.040 Yeah.

01:47:35.740 Because...

01:47:36.300 Well, he even said it, right, in his interview this week about Putin.

01:47:40.980 And you think we don't have any?

01:47:42.660 Down in the United States, right?

01:47:44.540 Saying that we have our own problems.

01:47:46.340 We have our own problems.

01:47:47.520 Yeah.

01:47:47.820 Let me tell you, you think we're...

01:47:49.200 You know, he's not alone.

01:47:51.040 I mean, come on now.

01:47:52.920 Yeah, that was a weird statement.

01:47:54.120 That sure was.

01:47:55.000 That if it came from anyone else, certainly if it came from Barack Obama, people would be all up in arms over that.

01:48:02.900 But there wasn't much outrage when it came from Donald Trump.

01:48:07.860 888-727-BECK.

01:48:09.500 Something he may be right about, though.

01:48:11.320 Apparently there was a little voter fraud.

01:48:13.420 Maybe not the widespread voter fraud that he kind of mentioned, which was...

01:48:18.420 Millions and millions.

01:48:19.780 Millions, like 3 to 5 million people voting illegally.

01:48:23.120 However, a Texas woman was just sentenced yesterday to eight years in prison and given a fine of thousands of dollars for committing voter fraud. 1.00

01:48:34.000 Rosa Maria Ortega from Grand Prairie, which is here in the DFW, a Mexican citizen.

01:48:41.620 She's legally here, but she's not a U.S. citizen.

01:48:43.900 She is not eligible to vote, and yet she did.

01:48:51.600 She was arrested and indicted on two counts of illegal voting after police discovered she'd applied for voter registration in Dallas County.

01:48:58.780 She falsely indicated on the application that she was a U.S. citizen.

01:49:04.320 And so yesterday, she was sentenced to eight years in prison for that.

01:49:09.040 So it's a fairly...

01:49:10.480 That's a fairly stiff penalty for voter fraud.

01:49:16.040 You might not want to do that if you're a legal U.S. resident or an illegal U.S. resident,

01:49:23.100 and you're trying to vote.

01:49:24.640 Not a good idea.

01:49:25.640 Don't do it.

01:49:27.100 Yeah, that's not a good idea.

01:49:28.240 It's funny because there really is a sensible position between saying there are 5 million illegal votes cast,

01:49:35.060 all of them against me.

01:49:36.100 That's why I lost the popular vote.

01:49:37.800 And there's no such thing as voter fraud.

01:49:40.200 There's barely anything that's ever happened.

01:49:42.600 And there's almost no instances of people being caught doing it.

01:49:46.660 Well, first of all, there are instances of people being caught doing it.

01:49:49.420 Second of all, the actual goal of the task is to not get caught.

01:49:54.240 So, yeah, you know, while...

01:49:56.940 Like, the whole point of committing voter fraud is that you don't get caught.

01:50:01.760 So those that are successful, you never know about.

01:50:04.100 Right.

01:50:04.400 Right?

01:50:04.640 That's the whole point of trying it.

01:50:06.600 So, yes, it does exist.

01:50:07.780 It's just not in those numbers, obviously.

01:50:09.200 This woman, who is now 37, she came here with her mom when she was a child.

01:50:13.520 So wouldn't she qualify as one of those dreamers that they talk about all the time?

01:50:19.900 Maybe.

01:50:20.600 Is she too old to be a dreamer?

01:50:23.040 But if she was...

01:50:24.180 I think so, yes.

01:50:25.060 If she was a college age, she'd be a dreamer.

01:50:27.580 And here she is committing felonies in the United States of America. 0.97

01:50:31.560 So, not all dreamers are apparently wonderful and dreamy.

01:50:35.720 888-727-BECK.

01:50:36.920 More of the Glenn Beck Program coming up in a second.

01:50:39.200 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:44.680 Mercury.

01:50:46.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:48.780 This is the quote we were talking about earlier, just a few minutes ago, involving Donald Trump.

01:50:55.220 When he was told that Vladimir Putin was a killer.

01:50:58.320 A lot of killers.

01:50:59.400 We've got a lot of killers.

01:51:00.380 What, you think our country's so innocent?

01:51:02.780 You think our country's so innocent?

01:51:04.700 Right?

01:51:05.720 Yow.

01:51:06.900 Come on.

01:51:07.660 I mean, I don't...

01:51:09.780 I guess Trump supporters didn't have any problem with that.

01:51:13.580 I guess not.

01:51:14.260 I seriously believe if it would have been anybody else, they would have.

01:51:18.840 Do you remember the apology tour?

01:51:20.580 Yeah.

01:51:20.900 By Barack Obama, where he would go and say things that seemed like he was apologizing for the...

01:51:26.780 I don't remember him ever saying anything like that.

01:51:29.180 No.

01:51:29.500 Now, that's also just because it's the way that Trump speaks, right?

01:51:32.220 I mean, he just...

01:51:32.980 It is.

01:51:33.360 He doesn't, you know...

01:51:34.060 And we've made this point before.

01:51:35.940 George W. Bush wasn't a great speaker either.

01:51:38.340 Right.

01:51:38.740 I mean, you could make some things out of stuff he said like this.

01:51:41.460 Let me make it very clear.

01:51:42.600 Poor people aren't necessarily killers.

01:51:46.440 Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill.

01:51:51.020 Is that true?

01:51:52.040 It's a pretty good possibility.

01:51:53.620 Yeah.

01:51:53.820 But it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a killer.

01:51:56.760 We don't think it's more than 80% of poor people are going to kill in their lifetime.

01:52:00.780 We think that's a max number.

01:52:01.760 Poor people aren't necessarily killers.

01:52:04.200 They probably are.

01:52:05.300 They probably killed a few people, but not necessarily.

01:52:08.800 Well, this goes back to the whole issue with the judiciary and him criticizing the judiciary.

01:52:13.980 They're like, well, it's one thing to say with all due deference to separation of powers,

01:52:19.120 the Citizens United case was wrong, as Barack Obama did.

01:52:21.880 And it's quite another thing to say a so-called judge.

01:52:27.100 That's just how he speaks.

01:52:29.000 And they know that.

01:52:30.920 He's not questioning the entire judiciary by saying that.

01:52:34.700 He's saying, I don't like that decision.

01:52:36.520 And that's how Donald Trump says that.

01:52:38.200 He says, ah, this so-called judge, this guy's a bum.

01:52:40.740 He doesn't actually think he's homeless and begging for food outside of Starbucks.

01:52:44.800 It's just the way he talks.

01:52:46.860 So, I mean, they made a big deal out of that.

01:52:49.420 I will say the one time Trump probably did cross some line is when he basically said,

01:52:55.140 yeah, look, if we have a terrorist attack, it's the judge's fault.

01:52:57.960 It's like, you can't say that.

01:53:00.280 I mean, it's not your fault.

01:53:01.460 It's not Trump's fault.

01:53:02.040 Did he say that this week?

01:53:02.800 Yeah.

01:53:04.000 And he said it was his fault.

01:53:05.060 I missed that.

01:53:06.160 Wow.

01:53:06.640 The fault.

01:53:07.060 Basic.

01:53:07.520 I mean, get the quote, Jeffy.

01:53:08.980 Yeah.

01:53:09.300 That's a little strong.

01:53:09.920 It's not as strong as...

01:53:12.140 Let me make it very clear.

01:53:13.300 Poor people aren't necessarily killers.

01:53:15.660 Yeah, that's true.

01:53:17.140 Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill.

01:53:20.620 I mean, that's a fair point.

01:53:22.420 I would say it probably does.

01:53:24.180 But, I mean, there's room for disagreement there.

01:53:27.560 Poor people aren't necessarily killers.

01:53:30.340 I don't even remember what that came from.

01:53:32.280 Maybe terrorists.

01:53:33.040 Yeah.

01:53:33.620 Killed because they're poor.

01:53:34.920 That kind of thing.

01:53:35.620 Maybe.

01:53:36.060 I don't know.

01:53:36.540 We'll see you Monday.
