The Glenn Beck Program - 2⧸14⧸18 - 'Down With The Flu'？

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

00:00:10.040 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:16.760 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's a little under the weather today.

00:00:19.380 888-727-BECK.

00:00:23.680 There's a lot, a lot to get to today.

00:00:26.940 Okay, including the latest on Keith Ellison, who is number two at the DNC.

00:00:35.660 Yeah, because Perez is number one, but he's the head of the DNC.

00:00:41.840 And Keith Ellison actually was, there was a lot of speculation that he was actually going to be appointed to head up the DNC.

00:00:51.000 A radical guy, an extremist guy, but a wonderful man.

00:00:57.220 Well, what we're learning, Pat, is that all Democrats have at least hung out at one point or another with Louis Farrakhan.

00:01:05.300 This is just something that, that's just part of being a Democrat, I think.

00:01:08.340 But that's okay, because there's nobody sweeter than Louis Farrakhan.

00:01:12.100 He's a really nice man.

00:01:13.560 Really nice guy.

00:01:14.160 He's a really nice guy, a good guy in the community.

00:01:16.760 A diverse and inclusive man.

00:01:18.980 Tolerant.

00:01:19.720 Yes, a loving man, is what I would say about him.

00:01:23.000 Now, we just learned that Barack Obama, former president of the United States before he was president, hung out at one point or another with Louis Farrakhan.

00:01:32.960 And a picture was taken of this event and the journalist who took it, hit it by his own words.

00:01:41.020 He said he hit it because he didn't want to hurt Barack Obama's future career.

00:01:45.820 And you might be saying, well, so what?

00:01:48.100 It's just a picture with a guy.

00:01:50.100 Right.

00:01:50.260 And if that had been, let's say Donald Trump pictured at an event with David Duke.

00:01:58.820 Smiling, shaking his hands.

00:02:00.080 Smiling, having a good time.

00:02:00.720 And then we find out that whoever took the picture hit it because they knew it would be damaging to them.

00:02:05.180 I kind of wonder if the mainstream media wouldn't make a really big deal out of that.

00:02:10.300 I think they might notice.

00:02:11.240 I think they might notice.

00:02:11.780 I think there's a possibility.

00:02:12.920 Because when Trump was on TV and he was asked by, I think it was Jake Tapper at the time, hey, do you denounce David Duke?

00:02:21.120 He wasn't hanging out with David Duke.

00:02:22.720 He didn't have pictures with David Duke.

00:02:24.280 But he didn't immediately refute and say, I don't want, you know, I don't love David Duke.

00:02:31.140 Yeah, he did later, but he didn't do it at that moment.

00:02:33.340 He didn't do it at that moment.

00:02:34.360 And that was a big scandal.

00:02:35.260 And people went nuts.

00:02:35.960 This is the guy who was president of the United States for eight years, who we know had ties with people of questionable character, such as Reverend Wright, that believed similar things, though they would come at it from two different religious arenas.

00:02:53.380 They believed seemingly similar things, such as, you know, AIDS was created by the government to kill black people.

00:02:59.720 Things like that.

00:03:01.460 Right.

00:03:01.880 So Louis Farrakhan is that type of guy.

00:03:03.900 He's a guy who believes those type of things.

00:03:05.840 He said all sorts of crazy stuff.

00:03:07.420 We can go over those in a moment.

00:03:09.440 But Keith Ellison, apparently in 2006, if you remember this, he was in the Nation of Islam and he came out and he apologized to Jewish groups in 2006.

00:03:22.660 He said he has long since distanced himself and rejected the Nation of Islam.

00:03:27.600 So that's what you knew.

00:03:28.340 Wow, that's powerful.

00:03:29.400 That's powerful.

00:03:30.200 It's powerful.

00:03:30.760 The problem is, seven years later, in 2013, Louis Farrakhan had a dinner with Keith Ellison and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in 2013.

00:03:44.720 This is a minor problem, you would think.

00:03:47.720 I mean, can you think of the equivalent here?

00:03:49.320 A high-level Republican congressman who, number two guy in the RNC, if a congressman were at that position, having dinner with David Duke in 2013.

00:04:03.660 Not in 1983, but 2013.

00:04:05.500 And the president of one of our worst enemies.

00:04:10.980 I mean, let's face it, Iran's not exactly a friend of ours.

00:04:15.460 No.

00:04:16.160 And it's dinner with Farrakhan and the president of Iran.

00:04:21.100 That's interesting.

00:04:25.520 It's problematic, I would think.

00:04:27.460 There are also photos of this event.

00:04:30.040 Of the three of them together?

00:04:30.920 Mm-hmm.

00:04:31.420 Okay.

00:04:32.680 And you'd think that this would be a bigger story.

00:04:35.560 It doesn't seem to be.

00:04:36.800 One, can you picture, you know, Paul Ryan, just hanging out, having a little dinner with a little, you know, a little Louis Farrakhan.

00:04:45.380 And maybe, you know, maybe a president of one of our biggest enemies, too.

00:04:48.700 We'll just throw that in there.

00:04:49.680 Right.

00:04:50.080 But that doesn't seem like something that would be overlooked.

00:04:54.400 Maybe people aren't familiar with who Louis Farrakhan is.

00:04:57.260 Maybe that's the issue.

00:04:59.400 Maybe people think he's just, I mean, look, he did hang out with the president of the United States.

00:05:05.000 Have you ever hung out with a president of the United States, Pat?

00:05:06.760 I haven't.

00:05:07.260 I haven't either.

00:05:07.760 No, I have not.

00:05:08.280 I've had zero pictures with presidents of the United States.

00:05:12.280 Any of them.

00:05:12.780 That I can think of.

00:05:13.960 I don't even have pictures with former presidents of the United States.

00:05:17.020 I might have one.

00:05:17.560 You can imagine.

00:05:18.440 Well, I have George H.W. Bush we did an interview with.

00:05:20.940 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:05:21.560 You went to Kenny Bunkport, right?

00:05:22.420 That's the only one, though.

00:05:23.460 Yeah.

00:05:24.560 So there's not a lot there.

00:05:27.080 But maybe this is the type of thing that happens all the time.

00:05:30.700 Yeah.

00:05:30.820 Maybe Louis Farrakhan, he's just hanging out at the local Panera Bread.

00:05:33.700 People walk in, they have lunch with him.

00:05:35.340 It just, that's what happens.

00:05:36.360 I can't help it if the president of Iran and Louis Farrakhan walked in here and asked me

00:05:40.240 if there was anybody sitting at these seats.

00:05:42.100 The answer was no.

00:05:43.140 No one was sitting there.

00:05:44.180 What's he going to do, lie?

00:05:45.580 There was no one sitting with me at that booth, the Panera Bread booth that has the

00:05:50.020 actual nice comfortable chairs, like the kind of, they have those, you know, the nice

00:05:54.060 padded chairs in some of the corners.

00:05:55.780 And there's so few of those.

00:05:57.080 Yeah.

00:05:57.480 Yeah.

00:05:57.880 You don't want the president of Iran to sit in an uncomfortable chair.

00:06:01.580 You sit him in a booth.

00:06:02.660 What, do you want him to think America's not hospitable?

00:06:04.920 Yeah.

00:06:05.120 No, you don't want that.

00:06:05.840 You want Farrakhan in one of those middle tables with the normal chairs?

00:06:08.600 That's not going to happen.

00:06:09.520 He does, he, I mean, look, he's the president of a country and a guy who has very important

00:06:15.780 opinions.

00:06:16.760 Yes, he does.

00:06:18.120 And has done maybe some very important things.

00:06:21.860 He, you know, well, we'll get to that in a second.

00:06:26.700 We have kind of some of his most beautiful statements that he's made that are peaceful

00:06:34.180 and loving and loving and very nearly poetic.

00:06:38.000 Pretty close to that.

00:06:39.120 Yeah.

00:06:39.260 Here's the best of Louis Farrakhan.

00:06:40.640 And I watched the evil of the United States government at work.

00:06:44.600 But of course, they will tell you they're different from their father.

00:06:50.420 It's the same devil.

00:06:51.480 You may not want to fight.

00:06:52.980 You better get ready.

00:06:54.820 Teach your baby.

00:06:58.660 How to throw the bottle if they can.

00:07:00.620 Why should anybody who criticizes Jewish behavior that ill affects black people and their pursuit

00:07:08.140 of happiness be considered anti-Semitic?

00:07:10.940 Hitler was a very great man.

00:07:12.620 He wrote Germany up from the ashes of her defeat.

00:07:17.200 Don't you be fooled by a smile and a pat on the back and a white woman in your arms, brother?

00:07:23.620 Even if you mean good, I don't give a damn.

00:07:26.880 You go with your own people.

00:07:28.360 It's a deep guilt thing that white folks suffer.

00:07:32.260 You are afraid that if we ever come to power, we will do to you and your fathers what you

00:07:41.080 and your people have done to us.

00:07:43.340 We'll tear this goddamn country off.

00:07:46.260 I mean, that's very loving and respectful.

00:07:51.440 And let's not forget this.

00:07:54.720 Yeah, I love Elijah Muhammad and not that if you attack him, I will kill you.

00:07:59.620 Oh.

00:08:00.740 Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

00:08:04.440 And I'm not a killer.

00:08:06.320 Well, unless you piss him off.

00:08:10.700 But if somebody attack what you love,

00:08:13.460 each one of you in here would become a killer instantaneously.

00:08:19.620 We don't give a damn about no white man law when you attack what we love.

00:08:24.760 Yeah.

00:08:27.560 I mean, do you care about white man law?

00:08:30.720 Not when they attack what I love.

00:08:31.680 Not when they attack what I love.

00:08:32.880 No.

00:08:34.140 It's white man law.

00:08:35.960 That's not for everybody.

00:08:37.140 It's just for white men.

00:08:38.040 Right.

00:08:38.360 I mean, look, there's something to be said for white man law.

00:08:41.400 Yeah.

00:08:41.740 If.

00:08:42.500 If.

00:08:42.860 If you're white.

00:08:45.020 Yes.

00:08:45.580 That's.

00:08:46.100 My understanding is white man law only applies to white people.

00:08:49.340 Exactly.

00:08:50.100 So that is a distinction that's important.

00:08:52.980 And that's why he's making it here.

00:08:59.000 It ain't none of your business.

00:09:00.840 None of your business.

00:09:02.580 It's not your business.

00:09:03.960 What have you got to say about it?

00:09:05.700 Right.

00:09:06.040 Good question.

00:09:06.520 Did you teach Malcolm?

00:09:08.180 I didn't.

00:09:08.660 Did you make Malcolm?

00:09:09.980 Uh-uh.

00:09:10.520 Did you clean up Malcolm?

00:09:12.080 I didn't.

00:09:12.920 Did you put Malcolm out before the world?

00:09:15.360 No.

00:09:16.000 Was Malcolm your traitor or was he out?

00:09:18.440 He was yours.

00:09:19.400 And if we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell business is it of yours?

00:09:26.240 Look, if he killed or had Malcolm X killed, what business is that of mine?

00:09:32.960 None.

00:09:33.320 My understanding is that is not a violation of white man law.

00:09:35.760 Right.

00:09:37.040 Or it may be a slight violation of white man law, but that doesn't apply here.

00:09:41.260 Well, let me ask you this.

00:09:42.500 Did you make Malcolm?

00:09:44.080 I did not.

00:09:45.200 Did you teach Malcolm?

00:09:48.020 I did not.

00:09:48.920 Okay.

00:09:49.300 I did not clean him up either.

00:09:50.740 Did Malcolm, yeah, you didn't clean him up.

00:09:52.880 I guess he was dirty.

00:09:54.040 Did Malcolm betray you?

00:09:55.360 No.

00:09:56.140 No, he did not.

00:09:56.760 No, he did not.

00:09:57.160 I don't think so, no.

00:09:58.000 So, if he betrayed Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam and they had him killed, it's none of your business.

00:10:05.660 It's none of your business.

00:10:06.400 I guess my big point to that would be, and?

00:10:09.240 Right.

00:10:10.280 Yes.

00:10:11.040 So.

00:10:11.800 And?

00:10:12.760 So.

00:10:13.800 Right.

00:10:14.780 So, here's Keith Ellison, second in charge at the DNC, having dinner with this wonderful man and the president of Iran.

00:10:23.260 Not two of the most friendly people to the United States of America.

00:10:26.060 In all honesty, is this a story?

00:10:28.660 Is this a story?

00:10:30.420 The fact that in 2013, not 1983, 2013, this guy, seven years after he publicly denounced the Nation of Islam, is having dinner with Louis Farrakhan, the guy who says the things that you just heard, including many, many others that we don't, I mean, we could play them all day.

00:10:45.840 We could do an entire show on just terrible things Louis Farrakhan has said and believes.

00:10:50.440 Is that okay?

00:10:51.240 Is that even a story that the number two guy at the DNC is doing that, that an elected congressman is doing that?

00:10:56.740 Well, again, and this gets so tiresome, but if it was somebody on the right, this would be the front page story of the New York Times for the next three weeks.

00:11:05.240 It would be the lead story on CNN and MSNBC, and they would hammer this.

00:11:11.700 It would hammer this.

00:11:13.160 Yeah.

00:11:13.580 And they would tell you why it's such a big deal that, you know, the head of the RNC had dinner with, let's say, David Duke.

00:11:21.060 And that would be, uh, that would be a really similar circumstance to what we're talking about here.

00:11:27.120 Very similar.

00:11:27.520 And by the way, it should be a big story.

00:11:29.760 It should.

00:11:30.220 If a big right-wing congressman was hanging with David Duke and having dinner with him, uh, and of course, you know, sure, the president of one of our biggest enemies at the same time.

00:11:42.980 We're just throwing that one out.

00:11:43.760 Uh, but if that were to happen, it would be a big story and should be a big story.

00:11:49.100 You know, that should not be something.

00:11:50.500 You should not, like, Paul Ryan should not be just hanging out with, uh, with, with David Duke or someone similar.

00:11:57.560 And yet, you can find this on Haratz, Haratz, which is an Israeli source.

00:12:04.980 Fox News mentioned it.

00:12:06.960 And the Washington Free Beacon.

00:12:08.640 That's about all I can find, uh, as far as mentions on this.

00:12:11.560 This isn't at NBC and ABC and CBS and CNN.

00:12:15.360 They're not, they don't care about this at all.

00:12:17.800 They don't care.

00:12:19.220 It's, it's amazing.

00:12:21.060 The hypocrisy is amazing.

00:12:24.340 But, uh, did Rob Porter get hired at the White House when somebody might've known that he was abusive to his former wives?

00:12:34.100 That story you've got to hear every five minutes.

00:12:38.140 And let's be honest about it.

00:12:39.120 Rob Porter.

00:12:39.580 And that is a story that, you know, it's, it's trouble.

00:12:42.640 Yep.

00:12:42.860 And Rob Porter was an important figure in the White House.

00:12:45.600 However, nobody, CNN probably mentioned his name twice in the last year before the scandal broke.

00:12:52.580 It's not like he was a, a public figure in that way.

00:12:56.100 He was a, an important figure in the White House.

00:12:58.440 That job is an important job in the White House, but it's not, it's not the type of thing that's covered by the public.

00:13:03.500 And I'm not, I have no problem with them covering the Porter thing, by the way.

00:13:06.800 I mean, you know, look, you hit your wife, you know, these things are going to happen to you and you deserve them.

00:13:11.840 It should be covered.

00:13:12.480 Yeah.

00:13:12.720 You know, I mean, I think the fallout of Kelly potentially leaving.

00:13:16.340 I mean, that's the big talk today on that front is that Kelly could be, you know, Trump had apparently soured on Kelly anyway because he felt he was too controlling.

00:13:24.520 And now there's a potential that, that he may go and maybe Gary Cohen steps in or, um, you know, uh, Mulvaney or McCarthy.

00:13:33.000 I mean, there's a bunch of names being sort of tossed around whether that happens or not.

00:13:37.540 I mean, you know, I think they did, did handle this fairly poorly.

00:13:40.280 That was their first, you know, that's what the press, uh, the number two under, uh, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, basically, look, you know, we didn't do a great job on this, but, uh, here's the truth.

00:13:51.260 And they've, they've just changed their story a bunch of times and it's hurt them.

00:13:54.660 And that's, it's not that you can't, you need to ignore that story.

00:13:58.540 That's a story too.

00:13:59.640 But I mean, this is a guy in the long leadership of the DNC.

00:14:03.060 He's a guy who's people know who Keith Ellison is.

00:14:05.400 He's not like some unnamed congressman.

00:14:07.320 He's a guy who makes a lot of noise, who says a lot of things about the right.

00:14:10.760 They like quoting him when he's bashing Trump or bashing some conservative.

00:14:14.420 They like, they like him then.

00:14:15.860 Yep.

00:14:16.100 The fact that this guy in 2013 was doing this and no one's even bothering talking about it,

00:14:22.460 except as you point out the free beacon, uh, and Fox news, maybe a couple of Israeli sources.

00:14:27.320 And it may, it's amazing.

00:14:28.560 Triple eight, 930, uh, uh, B E C K.

00:14:32.040 Man, you, you're almost see that you're Pac Ray unleashed mode and Pac Ray unleashed has a different phone number.

00:14:36.640 It does.

00:14:37.160 From us.

00:14:37.500 Ours is 888-727-BECK.

00:14:39.440 Too many phone numbers.

00:14:40.620 I mean, you should just have it programmed into your phone.

00:14:43.780 Right.

00:14:43.980 And then I just say hit two.

00:14:46.060 Yeah.

00:14:46.520 Just call.

00:14:47.400 Just call.

00:14:47.960 There you go.

00:14:48.460 Uh, 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

00:14:50.440 It's a Pat and Stu in for Glenn.

00:14:52.500 Who's out, uh, we believe with the flu, uh, and we can, we'll, we'll call it flu slash he forgot to get Valentine's Day presents.

00:15:00.280 That's the actual technical description of the disease he has.

00:15:03.980 Uh, so he'll be back.

00:15:05.220 I don't know.

00:15:05.600 Maybe he'll be back tomorrow, but with the flu, God only knows.

00:15:08.200 Uh, grocery stores only keep a day or two of food on hand, which is pretty amazing.

00:15:12.260 I mean, capitalism has created a society in which you can kind of go to a grocery store and there's always food there.

00:15:17.840 We always believe it will be there.

00:15:20.240 Um, but you know, they got to restock every single day.

00:15:22.520 And when a crisis strikes or even a warning that a crisis may strike, you know, the food disappears in hours from your local store.

00:15:28.660 We've seen this over and over again on the news.

00:15:30.660 What you don't see on the news are the people who aren't worried about that.

00:15:33.860 People who aren't rushing to the store to buy the food that they need to get through a crisis because they've already trusted my Patriot Supply.

00:15:40.080 My Patriot Supply is who I trust for food storage and it's the easiest way because you don't have to deal with knowing what you're doing.

00:15:48.060 You just call them and ask them what is a great thing to do and they can hook you up.

00:15:52.320 For example, this week, they've got the 72-hour emergency food kit for only $10.

00:15:57.900 I mean, look, I understand because I'm a guy who does not like to prepare for anything.

00:16:02.340 But if you can't spend $10 to get you through a major crisis, I mean, that's an easy step.

00:16:08.280 They make it perfectly easy for you.

00:16:10.160 You can order a kit for every member in your family, 800-200-9031 or preparewithglenn.com.

00:16:15.900 Food lasts for 25 years and keeps you from having to rush to the grocery store only to find the empty shelves.

00:16:20.320 Call my Patriot Supply, 800-200-9031 or preparewithglenn.com.

00:16:25.000 Limit for while supplies last is 800-200-9031 or preparewithglenn.com.

00:16:30.020 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:16:41.780 Glenn Beck.

00:16:43.820 I don't care about your white man law.

00:16:46.500 You've got nothing to do with me.

00:16:49.440 Even though I'm white, it's white man law.

00:16:52.420 What do I care?

00:16:53.280 Well, I think it would be wrong for me to tell you that you're either white or a man.

00:16:57.960 I don't identify that way at all.

00:17:00.020 Yeah, you've got to make your own decision up on that, what you are.

00:17:02.360 It's none of your business, what I do.

00:17:04.580 None of your business.

00:17:06.740 Why are you even bothering me about whether or not I killed Malcolm X?

00:17:10.700 What do you care?

00:17:12.280 It's a minor issue.

00:17:14.380 Let's have dinner.

00:17:15.220 Right.

00:17:16.000 And let's have dinner with Keith Ellison and the president of Iran.

00:17:22.320 This is an amazing story.

00:17:23.920 It's an amazing story.

00:17:24.700 And like you said, it didn't happen in 1986.

00:17:27.100 It happened in 2013.

00:17:30.480 Yeah.

00:17:30.860 He was asked about this on MSNBC.

00:17:32.800 Should we have time for this, this audio?

00:17:34.800 He was asked about generally, Keith, this is Keith Ellison, by the way, in case you're just

00:17:38.940 joining us.

00:17:39.840 Democratic congressman number two at the DNC talking about Farrakhan on MSNBC.

00:17:44.980 Just to clarify it, then, based on, again, all these quotes and sort of the buzz out

00:17:49.860 there, what CNN and others were reporting on what you said before, do you believe that

00:17:53.880 Louis Farrakhan is an anti-Semite?

00:17:56.260 Sure.

00:17:56.720 But, I mean, what does he have to do with anything going on in this race or this country at this

00:18:01.920 time?

00:18:02.300 Absolutely nothing.

00:18:03.400 Well, CNN says that you've said some positive things about Minister Farrakhan, a role model

00:18:09.200 for black youth.

00:18:10.140 But here's the thing, Joe.

00:18:12.000 We're talking about something that happened in 1995.

00:18:14.760 Right.

00:18:15.040 This was a year that the Million Man March took off.

00:18:18.520 Right.

00:18:18.620 People were attacking the march at the time.

00:18:20.360 The march was a very good thing.

00:18:21.900 I was very proud to be part of it.

00:18:23.540 But here I am, having to answer questions about this.

00:18:27.920 And I'm not talking about what our country needs to look like and what the Democratic Party

00:18:32.400 can do.

00:18:32.920 Sure.

00:18:33.300 Because this smear campaign from almost 21 years ago or something like that, this is about

00:18:39.340 distracting and taking people away from the issues that really are at hand in this case.

00:18:45.000 Now, think about this for a second.

00:18:46.620 This is a guy sitting here knowing that three years ago he had dinner with this guy.

00:18:51.080 Not 21 years ago, because the Million Man March was 1995.

00:18:55.260 Now, look, there were a lot of people involved in the Million Man March.

00:18:58.940 And at the time, it was controversial.

00:19:00.640 However, Farrakhan was a much more widely accepted figure in 1995.

00:19:06.600 There was a lot of people who associated themselves with him over the years.

00:19:11.980 You know, you say you don't like Jews enough.

00:19:14.420 Eventually, people are like, let's not go to dinner together.

00:19:17.540 There's a little bit of a tendency for people to maybe sit at another table.

00:19:22.300 So Farrakhan's on MSNBC.

00:19:24.780 Not for Keith Ellison, though.

00:19:25.700 No.

00:19:25.960 Because I love the question, is Louis Farrakhan an anti-Semite?

00:19:30.600 Well, sure.

00:19:31.540 But you know what?

00:19:32.180 So am I.

00:19:32.900 So what do I care about that?

00:19:35.420 I mean, that's essentially what you get from Keith Ellison, because he's an anti-Semite, too.

00:19:40.020 Well, I mean, look, he knew what he was doing there.

00:19:43.640 He was acting as if this was an old allegation when he knew very well that it wasn't.

00:19:47.800 Yeah.

00:19:48.640 And that is, it takes a hell of a lot of, you know, it takes balls, right, to go on there

00:19:52.920 and say, when you know that this, when there's photos that could come out at any time.

00:19:57.700 Now, luckily, I think he believes he has the media on the other side.

00:20:00.460 I love how MSNBC was so sure.

00:20:01.820 Look, look, CNN is saying this.

00:20:03.280 We're not saying this.

00:20:03.940 I'm just saying CNN is saying this.

00:20:05.900 Now, CNN didn't report this particular thing we're talking about today, but they did at least

00:20:09.500 to report the association and the fact that this is a fairly controversial figure.

00:20:15.140 Louis Farrakhan, not the guy to hang out with at dinner.

00:20:17.780 Not at all.

00:20:18.300 No.

00:20:19.180 Not to mention the president of Iran.

00:20:21.020 Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

00:20:22.060 An enemy.

00:20:24.120 Glenn Beck.

00:20:26.080 Mercury.

00:20:29.700 You know, we've had a really good run with the market since, I mean, for a while now.

00:20:34.140 I mean, going back to 2008, since it bottomed out in 2009, 2010, we've had a really good run.

00:20:39.160 And a lot of people now are looking at their house and saying, you know what?

00:20:42.060 I've had this house for a long time.

00:20:43.460 I'm looking for something maybe a little bit different, maybe a little smaller, maybe

00:20:46.180 downsizing, maybe just taking some money off the table and locking in the profits you've

00:20:51.020 made over the past couple of years.

00:20:53.580 To do that, though, you need to maximize this because this could be the biggest financial

00:20:58.120 opportunity you have in your entire life.

00:21:00.500 Selling your house in a nut market can mean, you know, setting yourself up for the rest of

00:21:03.860 your life.

00:21:04.240 So, realestateagentsitrust.com was set up by Glenn to make sure you can find an agent

00:21:10.460 in your area that has a really solid work ethic that understands that you need to be updated

00:21:16.920 and be, you know, to do business in a way that makes sense, that you understand, that

00:21:23.100 aligns with your values.

00:21:24.140 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go.

00:21:28.020 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:21:34.140 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:36.680 Pat Gray, normally doing Pat Gray Unleashed, which immediately follows this show on the

00:21:43.500 Blaze Radio and TV network.

00:21:44.760 Plus, Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:48.060 Glenn apparently has the flu, so he's out today, but hopefully back soon.

00:21:55.360 888-727-BECK.

00:21:57.500 Apparently, the poll numbers for the president are starting to improve pretty significantly.

00:22:03.240 Yeah, they look pretty good.

00:22:03.900 There's a new poll out from Politico Morning Consult, which is, you know, this is the first

00:22:09.180 time in a while that the numbers have been this positive for Trump.

00:22:13.840 They show 47% approval rating, which is really high for his, you know, first year.

00:22:22.020 It also shows for the first time that the Republicans are leading the Democrats on the

00:22:25.680 generic ballot, which is in some ways more important, just from the perspective of Trump

00:22:30.500 has got a couple of years before he actually has to run for re-election, where the, you

00:22:34.740 know, the 2018 election is right around the corner.

00:22:37.460 And that hasn't happened in a long time.

00:22:39.060 But if you look at the Trump numbers specifically, he's at 47% in this poll.

00:22:44.040 Now, this is just one poll, so you can't, you know, you have outliers, right?

00:22:48.120 It could just be an outlier.

00:22:49.080 However, there's been pretty significant improvement for the last couple of months, really since

00:22:52.800 tax reform happened.

00:22:54.200 You know, he was at December, mid-December, right before tax reform actually passed.

00:23:00.480 He was at a 36.4% average approval rating, which was the lowest of his presidency.

00:23:05.340 In the two months since then, it's risen from 36.4 to 41 on average.

00:23:11.760 So, and his disapproval has dropped by four points.

00:23:14.880 So he's improved by four and a half points when it comes to approval rating and dropped

00:23:20.020 in his disapproval rating by four points.

00:23:22.720 Pretty, it's hard to do when you're talking averages.

00:23:25.920 And the fact that it's up to 41% puts him, you know, it's still not great.

00:23:29.580 Obviously, he'd like to be a lot higher than that if he could do it.

00:23:31.900 But still, for Trump, it's one of the highest marks since very early on in his presidency,

00:23:36.840 since about May.

00:23:39.200 So, you know, the highest number since May certainly has helped, I think, you know, the

00:23:45.160 tax reform package, I think, has helped quite a bit on that.

00:23:47.480 I mean, every day, you get a nice little, you know, another story of a company.

00:23:51.660 There's yet another one just yesterday that, you know, hey, we're going to give $15 an hour

00:23:55.700 to our employees with no law, with no Bernie Sanders coming in and saying we have to guarantee

00:24:00.600 $15 an hour to everyone, no massive economic reformation when it comes to, you know, giving

00:24:09.220 giant minimum wage hikes that hurt businesses.

00:24:12.580 They're just deciding to do it on their own because they got a nice tax cut.

00:24:15.620 If the economy stays strong, it's going to be incredibly difficult, if not impossible,

00:24:20.660 for Democrats to win the presidency in 2020.

00:24:23.260 I mean, a lot can happen between now and now, but they released yesterday a list.

00:24:29.500 The Hill had a list of 36 potential Democrat candidates.

00:24:33.740 I can't.

00:24:34.980 I mean, I went through their list on Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:24:37.900 I can't see any of them beating Donald Trump in 2020.

00:24:41.420 None of them.

00:24:42.080 Yeah, because you can look at the fundamentals of the polling of the Trump presidency as a

00:24:47.380 Democrat and be optimistic.

00:24:48.880 You could say, look, the guy is, you know, historically low.

00:24:53.260 When it comes to approval ratings, especially low, when you compare it to how the economy

00:24:57.760 is doing, usually when a president has an economy like this, his approval ratings in

00:25:01.300 the 50s or 60s, and his are in the 30s and 40s.

00:25:04.980 So you can look at that and have optimism until you look at your own candidates.

00:25:09.220 Until you look and you see Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren,

00:25:16.740 Cory Booker.

00:25:17.440 None of these people.

00:25:18.560 None of them.

00:25:18.980 I don't think have a shot at beating Trump.

00:25:20.940 Well, Cory Booker has tears of rage, though, and he can bring them out at any time.

00:25:26.500 And Oprah has already said, no, I'm not doing it.

00:25:28.680 That's not me.

00:25:29.400 She's not doing it.

00:25:30.000 She's not running.

00:25:30.700 No.

00:25:31.220 Eric Holder throwing his hat into the police.

00:25:33.680 Eric Holder.

00:25:33.860 Stop.

00:25:34.300 Nobody cares.

00:25:35.420 Nobody cares about Eric Holder.

00:25:37.120 No, he's a uniform.

00:25:37.820 I mean, the only people who know about him think he's terrible.

00:25:40.300 Yes.

00:25:40.940 Yes.

00:25:41.400 Right.

00:25:41.540 And you think Trump wouldn't use Fast and Furious against that guy?

00:25:45.080 Oh.

00:25:45.520 In a heartbeat.

00:25:46.280 He'd be done before he even got started.

00:25:48.360 And then people like Julian Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio, the HUD secretary.

00:25:56.080 They've been trying to groom him for a while, though.

00:25:58.000 They have.

00:25:58.500 They keep trying to push him down our throats, and nobody seems to be eating it.

00:26:02.560 So, yeah, I think Trump's in a good position to have two terms.

00:26:07.920 You know, it's tough to tell this early on.

00:26:10.020 It is.

00:26:10.580 But, you know, the economy can obviously switch around.

00:26:12.840 But, again, like, fundamentally, it comes down to the Democrats coming up with someone

00:26:17.520 who could possibly be elected.

00:26:19.160 Right.

00:26:19.340 And they do not seem to be good at that.

00:26:20.740 Right.

00:26:21.340 You know.

00:26:22.040 And they're still not even throwing Al Gore out there as a possibility.

00:26:25.520 Out of 36 candidates, he's not one of them.

00:26:28.920 If Gore was going to run, though, he would have run.

00:26:30.540 True.

00:26:30.940 I don't know.

00:26:31.420 Maybe he wouldn't have.

00:26:32.220 Maybe he wouldn't have against Hillary.

00:26:33.000 I don't know.

00:26:33.820 But, I mean, if you go back, when is the last time?

00:26:36.340 Other than Barack Obama, when have they had an even competent politician?

00:26:41.420 And, again, I'm not saying I believe Barack Obama was a competent president.

00:26:45.540 I don't think he was.

00:26:47.120 And he was a terrible president, in my view.

00:26:49.580 He was popular with Democrats.

00:26:51.200 And, you know, he did pretty well in the polling.

00:26:52.760 He could give a speech here and there.

00:26:55.060 Yeah.

00:26:55.360 You know, he won twice.

00:26:57.580 And won twice relatively easily.

00:26:59.720 Right.

00:27:00.120 I mean, when you look at how close elections have been.

00:27:02.500 But who else?

00:27:03.380 Put out John Kerry.

00:27:05.260 I mean.

00:27:05.920 Terrible.

00:27:06.040 It's just absolutely terrible.

00:27:08.440 Once the last.

00:27:09.320 Seriously, you have Bill Clinton.

00:27:11.560 I mean, go back to 1976.

00:27:16.680 Right?

00:27:17.040 You go back before that.

00:27:18.680 You go back to the 60s.

00:27:20.060 You go back to JFK.

00:27:21.200 Who have they put out there that could potentially win?

00:27:24.260 Now, they got a win out of Carter, but that was handed to them.

00:27:26.760 That was handed to them.

00:27:27.880 Outside of that, you have Clinton and Obama.

00:27:30.240 And Bill Clinton.

00:27:31.120 Yeah.

00:27:31.280 I mean, not Hillary.

00:27:32.180 And they were bad candidates.

00:27:33.220 I mean, Bill Clinton had scandals as soon as he got into the race.

00:27:36.740 Yeah.

00:27:36.920 Barack Obama had a historically low approval rating as well.

00:27:41.460 People like to think of him as a really popular figure.

00:27:43.540 He wasn't.

00:27:44.400 Right.

00:27:44.520 His average approval rating was in the 40s.

00:27:46.960 I mean, low to mid 40s for most of his presidency.

00:27:51.440 He was not a popular president.

00:27:53.540 Not at all.

00:27:53.940 He just won two elections.

00:27:55.660 Yeah.

00:27:56.020 And he did it.

00:27:57.200 He pulled out every stop to do it, as we saw.

00:28:00.040 He was a good politician.

00:28:00.760 Yeah.

00:28:01.020 And look, again, I think you could say 2008 was handed to them.

00:28:04.440 He was running against John McCain in the middle of a financial crisis.

00:28:08.580 Well, of course.

00:28:09.340 Remember John McCain's quote from that election.

00:28:11.540 I don't really.

00:28:12.320 The economy is not really my strong point.

00:28:14.440 And we might be in Iraq for a hundred years.

00:28:18.660 McCain is universally terrible as a candidate.

00:28:22.300 And so in some ways, I think like you can you can compare McCain to Hillary Clinton as

00:28:27.600 the quality of a candidate.

00:28:29.380 They're both really bad candidates like, you know, like Hillary Clinton is a generic liberal,

00:28:34.540 I think, in many ways, as far as her viewpoints go.

00:28:37.580 And I think when I say liberal, pretty leftist.

00:28:40.340 I mean, you know, significantly leftist.

00:28:42.320 That being said, she's just a really bad candidate where like, you know, John McCain is a very

00:28:49.000 moderate Republican slash basically a Democrat half the time and also a terrible candidate.

00:28:56.680 You know, you know, Barack Obama.

00:28:58.080 Now, Mitt Romney, I think, was a tougher battle.

00:28:59.640 It was shown in the results, obviously, that it was it was a tougher battle.

00:29:03.020 But Romney wasn't, I don't think, an utterly fantastic candidate either, to be frank.

00:29:07.860 Like, and then, you know, you have this this last election where, you know, Hillary Clinton

00:29:12.280 was horrible in every measurable way.

00:29:18.200 Horrible.

00:29:18.960 And if they can't do better than Hillary Clinton, anybody's going to beat them.

00:29:22.820 Yeah.

00:29:23.260 I mean, no doubt about it.

00:29:24.360 They could run anybody on the right and they would beat them.

00:29:27.080 As long as President Trump stays out of his own way.

00:29:29.220 But I mean, but we have things like Michael Cohen admitting his lawyer admits that they

00:29:34.980 made the payment to Stormy Daniels, the porn star.

00:29:38.040 Yeah.

00:29:38.260 And I don't just admitted it.

00:29:40.060 Yeah.

00:29:40.200 Because there was a there was a question about this.

00:29:41.700 We've done this before where it's like, well, if it's true, does it matter?

00:29:45.300 Yeah.

00:29:45.680 You know, if it's true, we talked about that a couple of weeks ago.

00:29:47.720 And it was with Stormy Daniels about Stormy Daniels.

00:29:50.020 If it's true, does it matter?

00:29:51.160 At that point, we didn't know it was true.

00:29:53.220 Now, Michael Cohen, Trump's attorney, is saying that he did this.

00:29:56.960 He is saying that he gave one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to this porn star.

00:30:00.520 He is not saying necessarily that Trump and Stormy Daniels had an affair, though.

00:30:06.540 No.

00:30:07.060 Right.

00:30:07.400 I mean, they might claim and I haven't heard his claim on this.

00:30:10.600 I just heard that he admitted to the payment.

00:30:13.040 They could say, yeah, well, we just wanted to keep her false claims out of the news.

00:30:16.600 Right.

00:30:16.780 I think that's where they will go.

00:30:17.960 Right.

00:30:18.140 They do have a statement that's signed that says that she didn't do this, which is apparently

00:30:22.480 part of the settlement when they gave her.

00:30:24.480 She says she doesn't know where that came from.

00:30:26.160 It wasn't her.

00:30:27.260 That is kind of what she says.

00:30:28.440 She does.

00:30:28.700 Yeah.

00:30:29.300 She doesn't look like my signature.

00:30:31.340 Right.

00:30:31.820 She said, look, the bottom line here is I don't think this sort of stuff makes any difference

00:30:38.360 to people at this point, you know, which is amazing.

00:30:41.440 It doesn't.

00:30:42.120 If you think back to like Bill Clinton, for example, who was a guy everyone knew was kind

00:30:45.900 of like a womanizer and he had a lot of shady stuff in his in his life when it came to

00:30:50.540 women.

00:30:51.460 If we had on record an one hundred and thirty thousand dollar payment from a close associate,

00:30:56.120 a longtime lawyer and Cohen is saying he did this out of his own pocket, which the reason

00:31:01.560 he admitted this is because it would have been a you know, it's potentially a campaign

00:31:04.960 finance violation.

00:31:05.940 If you give one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, which is above the maximum right

00:31:10.080 to to help a candidate, even if it's indirectly, they can try to come out for you for the campaign

00:31:15.280 finance side of it.

00:31:16.320 So the idea is here that he had to admit it.

00:31:20.320 So therefore, they could get out of the campaign finance problem.

00:31:22.960 That's why he's coming out and saying, yes, I gave one hundred and thirty thousand dollars

00:31:26.000 to this woman.

00:31:26.620 But can you imagine if that happened to Bill Clinton or Barack Obama had his attorney and

00:31:30.740 paid one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to a porn star?

00:31:32.600 I just think that society as a whole is is already priced all this in with Trump.

00:31:36.640 We have.

00:31:37.320 And I don't think anybody cares about this at all.

00:31:39.860 And our our entire moral foundation, I think, has shifted.

00:31:46.320 And cracked because people just don't care anymore.

00:31:51.180 We used to say the character mattered.

00:31:53.360 We used to say that things like this mattered.

00:31:55.800 They don't seem to to the right anymore.

00:31:58.200 They don't seem to matter.

00:31:59.120 Well, and to be fair, there was the only side ever defending that was the right.

00:32:05.740 You know, like exactly.

00:32:07.480 People have made this point before.

00:32:08.840 Comedians have made this point in that there is a relationship between men and women where

00:32:12.900 men want to hook up with women and women would say are the ones who actually have a little

00:32:19.000 restraint, right?

00:32:20.060 Like, you know, guys on the first date are there.

00:32:21.860 They like they don't they don't need any romancing.

00:32:23.960 They don't need any relationship.

00:32:25.100 They're just there.

00:32:26.060 And for I don't know, until fairly recently.

00:32:29.540 Right.

00:32:29.940 Like women would be like, no, not on the first date, right?

00:32:33.260 Not on the second date.

00:32:34.340 Now we're swiping right and left.

00:32:35.980 And there's no there's not one side of the argument that's saying, you know, no thanks

00:32:40.000 anymore, right?

00:32:40.800 Like, yeah, nobody's saying no.

00:32:42.220 Wait, no, we're going to wait.

00:32:42.900 We're going to wait.

00:32:43.260 Let's play it slow.

00:32:44.040 There's no let's play it slow there on either side of the argument.

00:32:47.000 So we just careen very quickly towards the side of we just hook up on the first date

00:32:52.720 after 25 minutes after we swipe whatever direction you're supposed to swipe.

00:32:56.180 So and that's a kind of what's happened here is for a long time, the left was pushing

00:33:01.080 us into at morals.

00:33:02.420 Come on, they're stupid.

00:33:03.180 And the right was saying morals.

00:33:04.360 We must have them.

00:33:05.440 And now both of them are saying it doesn't really matter.

00:33:08.820 So there's no one really pushing that way anymore, including, you know, a good chunk of our

00:33:14.100 religious culture doesn't seem to really care about it anymore either.

00:33:18.120 And I look, I this doesn't affect the tax plan.

00:33:21.900 This doesn't affect, you know, did Susan Rice do something really shady before Obama left

00:33:27.520 office?

00:33:28.060 Doesn't doesn't affect the day to day policy stuff that we talk about.

00:33:32.360 But what we should always at least stop and pause and note, note for the record that we've

00:33:40.480 changed in a significant way.

00:33:42.380 The Overton window has has been pushed to a point where accusations and admissions of

00:33:51.500 large payments to porn stars no longer affect our daily discourse.

00:33:56.100 Ah, so we paid a porn star one hundred and thirty thousand to keep quiet.

00:34:00.960 Ah, it's really where we are, isn't it?

00:34:06.060 That's where we are.

00:34:07.640 It's where we are.

00:34:08.560 And I don't know.

00:34:09.180 Is it important to note that?

00:34:10.920 I mean, we should at least we should admit to ourselves that it's occurred.

00:34:14.600 I think it's notable.

00:34:15.860 It's notable.

00:34:18.460 It's notable.

00:34:19.180 Triple eight.

00:34:20.060 Uh, whatever the number is.

00:34:22.040 But again, you know, we're quite bad.

00:34:23.700 We started this break with Donald Trump at a high.

00:34:27.400 Yeah.

00:34:27.680 His approval rating.

00:34:28.740 Forty seven percent.

00:34:29.360 On the same day, his attorney has said that he paid one hundred thirty thousand dollars

00:34:34.300 to a porn star of a porn star in the middle of this Michael or the Rob Porter scandal.

00:34:39.440 Right.

00:34:39.840 Yeah, this has not been a you would you would argue that this has not been necessarily a

00:34:44.060 great week for the Trump administration.

00:34:46.480 And he just hits a new high.

00:34:47.580 It's a new high.

00:34:48.160 Yeah, that's great.

00:34:49.320 Yeah.

00:34:49.480 Well, there you go.

00:34:49.980 That's great.

00:34:50.320 There you go.

00:34:50.760 All right.

00:34:51.140 All right.

00:34:51.400 Triple eight seven twenty seven.

00:34:52.220 Beck is the number that I know.

00:34:53.720 And Pat no longer remembers.

00:34:55.160 I don't.

00:34:55.640 But Pat Gray unleashed coming up on the program today.

00:34:59.800 And also, we should tell you that tonight, Glenn actually has a special on Calvin Coolidge

00:35:04.600 as we kind of approach President's Day, a show that you have not seen, which is going

00:35:10.800 to be coming up at five p.m.

00:35:11.760 And then after that, we're going to have the news and why it matters.

00:35:13.720 That's going to be happening tonight with myself, Pat Gray, Sarah Gonzalez, Doc Thompson.

00:35:17.660 Going to be a cool hour of television tonight at theblaze.com slash TV.

00:35:21.540 Let me tell you about American Financing.

00:35:23.020 They're our sponsor this half hour.

00:35:24.860 Now, American Financing is in the middle of something really interesting because this is

00:35:29.060 we've had historic lows for a long time when it comes to interest rates.

00:35:32.840 The market has done very well.

00:35:34.400 We've been talking about this break.

00:35:35.700 The economy is doing really well.

00:35:37.940 That, though, will probably lead to interest rate hikes.

00:35:41.940 There's going to be one in March, it looks like.

00:35:44.240 Maybe another one in June.

00:35:45.240 Maybe even a third in December.

00:35:47.540 Now, we've had this whole thing where the market has been correcting a little bit because

00:35:52.900 of inflation.

00:35:54.060 This proves this is a great time for you to kind of organize your finances and look at

00:35:59.740 maybe refinancing your mortgage.

00:36:01.340 Or if you're going to be buying, this is a great time to buy.

00:36:03.320 Lower interest rate you can lock into, the greater your savings.

00:36:05.940 This is one of those things.

00:36:06.620 If these interest rates go up and you have this nice, low 30-year locked rate, that's

00:36:10.900 a great place to be.

00:36:12.320 Now is the time to kind of look around, start shopping, look for those rates, and you can

00:36:16.420 get started by calling the salary-based mortgage consultants at American Financing.

00:36:19.940 I've dealt with American Financing myself.

00:36:21.480 They were fantastic to me.

00:36:23.420 They know this stuff better than anybody.

00:36:26.900 With American Financing, you can get straightforward and effortless mortgage experience.

00:36:31.060 That's what they do.

00:36:50.180 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:37:03.060 Glenn Beck.

00:37:06.840 888-700-BECK.

00:37:09.660 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:37:11.500 That's not the number.

00:37:12.080 Oh, that's right.

00:37:12.700 It isn't, is it?

00:37:13.500 Okay, 888-727-BECK.

00:37:15.740 Yes.

00:37:16.220 Beck.

00:37:16.640 How many years did you say that phone number?

00:37:18.800 A lot.

00:37:19.200 A lot of years.

00:37:20.260 Now, I'm saying a different phone number, and so then I come over here, and I've got that

00:37:24.300 different phone number in my head.

00:37:25.600 See, here's the thing.

00:37:26.280 So now I'm just combining the two, I think.

00:37:28.000 You're at Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:37:29.340 Yes.

00:37:29.960 At Pat Unleashed on Twitter, by the way.

00:37:31.620 You can follow there.

00:37:32.240 So you're over there, and you're saying that number a thousand times a day.

00:37:35.600 So let me give you a potential substitute here.

00:37:39.460 Instead, you could talk about tweeting questions with the hashtag TheBlazeY.

00:37:45.120 W-H-Y.

00:37:46.380 Not TheBlazy, but TheBlazeY.

00:37:49.100 Hashtag TheBlazeY.

00:37:50.020 Do that on Twitter, and you can ask the questions that we will be answering on tonight's episode

00:37:55.200 of the news and why it matters.

00:37:56.920 And that will happen at 5.30 Eastern time.

00:37:58.660 It will.

00:37:59.220 Immediately following Glenn's show.

00:38:00.600 Isn't there like a special show?

00:38:02.360 Like a very special Glenn Beck episode?

00:38:05.260 It is.

00:38:05.520 He's looking at what he says is the greatest president in the 20th century.

00:38:10.440 People would say, oh, Ronald Reagan?

00:38:12.180 No.

00:38:12.380 No.

00:38:13.840 The big man, Calvin Coolidge.

00:38:16.340 I look back as we come up to President's Day here.

00:38:19.020 I don't think it's even close between who's...

00:38:22.560 Who's better?

00:38:23.120 Who's better.

00:38:23.620 Coolidge is really impressive.

00:38:24.880 Really impressive.

00:38:29.060 Glenn Beck.

00:38:30.600 Mercury.

00:38:36.840 Love.

00:38:38.060 Courage.

00:38:39.780 Truth.

00:38:41.560 Glenn Beck.

00:38:43.360 Pat and Stu for Glenn, who is out with the flu today.

00:38:46.820 888-727-BECK.

00:38:50.500 Of course, Mike Pence seems to be out of his mind.

00:38:54.860 Mike Pence, apparently, if you're to believe Omarosa, who...

00:39:02.700 And why wouldn't you believe her?

00:39:04.100 Because, you know, everything she says, I'm sure, is completely legitimate.

00:39:08.620 He thinks Jesus talks to him.

00:39:11.660 What?

00:39:12.140 What a maroon.

00:39:16.060 What are you...

00:39:17.340 Oh, wow.

00:39:18.760 Is he hearing voices in his head?

00:39:20.840 Is that what it is?

00:39:22.200 I would say, I mean, look, there are certain names you could put in this category, but I

00:39:26.060 would say Omarosa, number one religious expert in America.

00:39:28.960 Oh, I think so, yeah.

00:39:29.520 I mean, she might be number two.

00:39:31.600 You might be able to put someone ahead of her, but I don't think so.

00:39:34.100 I think I'd put her as the number one religious expert in America.

00:39:37.820 So Mike Pence, A, won't have dinner with other women alone.

00:39:42.820 Amazing.

00:39:43.240 What an idiot on that, especially in this environment with the sexual harassment and all that going

00:39:49.660 on.

00:39:50.080 And then he thinks, he thinks deity speaks to him?

00:39:55.820 You believe this guy?

00:39:57.040 I can't believe this guy.

00:39:58.840 I don't even know how he's walking around the streets of our cities without being in chains.

00:40:04.220 You know, first of all, we need to put him somewhere in like a padded room, you know, so

00:40:08.880 he doesn't hurt himself to begin with or others.

00:40:11.680 It's gotten to the point now, really, where you can't say you get, I don't know, you pray

00:40:17.320 and you listen for answers and you're guided by the spirit or God.

00:40:23.640 It's really, that's a point of ridicule now.

00:40:28.520 Yeah, it used to be something you almost had to say as a politician.

00:40:32.540 Even if you didn't believe it, you had to say that you prayed and listened to God for answers.

00:40:37.880 Now, just the idea of it is mockable, apparently.

00:40:42.360 That's kind of a, again, it's important to note these movements that we have.

00:40:48.000 And let's not forget what it was Nancy Pelosi said a few years ago.

00:40:52.540 They ask me all the time, what is your favorite this?

00:40:54.400 What is your favorite that?

00:40:55.480 What is your favorite that?

00:40:57.320 And at one time, what is your favorite word?

00:40:59.320 Word.

00:40:59.680 Word.

00:41:01.400 And I said, my favorite word, that is really easy.

00:41:03.740 That's easy.

00:41:04.420 That's so easy.

00:41:04.880 My favorite word is the word.

00:41:07.060 Is the word.

00:41:08.100 Which word?

00:41:08.480 Which is actually two words.

00:41:10.280 And also, which word are you referring to?

00:41:11.320 By the way.

00:41:12.080 The word.

00:41:12.960 The word.

00:41:13.440 And that is everything.

00:41:15.260 It says it all.

00:41:16.160 So the word is everything?

00:41:17.300 Word is everything.

00:41:18.020 And you know the biblical reference.

00:41:19.640 You know the gospel reference.

00:41:20.560 So a person like Nancy Pelosi can make references to the word, the word of God.

00:41:28.060 And yes, that's written, but you can't also believe in inspiration, I guess, if you're

00:41:35.480 a Republican.

00:41:36.360 No.

00:41:36.640 Nobody mocked, well, except for us, Nancy Pelosi on the word stuff.

00:41:40.480 No.

00:41:41.460 We got a lot of mileage out of it, but it wasn't widespread, per se.

00:41:45.640 It wasn't.

00:41:46.260 The mainstream media didn't go off on that at all.

00:41:50.100 They were fine with it.

00:41:51.200 Yeah.

00:41:51.940 It's very true.

00:41:52.760 Do we have the audio?

00:41:53.320 I think we do have the Omarosa thing with Mike Pence, kind of to hear her actual comments.

00:41:58.800 Because she's been, what a, look, Trump has done a lot of really good things.

00:42:05.140 Bringing Omarosa into the White House was not one of them.

00:42:06.700 Probably not one of them.

00:42:07.360 Not one of them.

00:42:08.020 Here is, here's the quote from Omarosa.

00:42:10.600 As bad as y'all think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence.

00:42:15.260 I'm not just going to say that.

00:42:16.500 Oh, I know.

00:42:17.460 So everybody that's wishing for impeachment might want to reconsider their life.

00:42:21.380 Absolutely.

00:42:22.200 We would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became president.

00:42:25.600 That's all I'm saying.

00:42:27.040 He's extreme.

00:42:29.120 I'm Christian.

00:42:30.100 I love Jesus.

00:42:32.280 But he thinks Jesus tells him to say things.

00:42:36.860 I'm like, Jesus, did I say that?

00:42:40.440 That's despicable to me.

00:42:42.180 Yeah.

00:42:42.380 Oh, you love Jesus, but you don't think that he whispers to people, that he helps people in their lives, he guides and directs?

00:42:52.700 You don't believe that?

00:42:54.040 I don't know.

00:42:54.900 It's just, it's lunacy that we, why is Omarosa even being listened to?

00:43:01.260 Well, because she was put in the White House, right?

00:43:03.540 Yeah.

00:43:03.740 She would not be being listened to if she was not given a position in the White House and paid the maximum salary allowed there.

00:43:11.160 Now, look, she is gone now.

00:43:13.600 She's on Celebrity Big Brother or Regular Big Brother.

00:43:17.040 Yeah, Celebrity Big Brother.

00:43:18.680 It's a really, really interesting usage of the word celebrity.

00:43:21.680 But yes, she's a Celebrity Big Brother candidate.

00:43:23.980 And I guess now, it's funny because these journalists are, you know how like they, remember the Big Brother when it started, that's stupid, you know, the show.

00:43:33.920 And if you don't know the show, it's basically they got a bunch of cameras in a house and people are watching all the time.

00:43:37.840 And at one point, they converted it to this 24-7 live stream.

00:43:43.360 So you can tune in at any time during the day and watch the show.

00:43:48.400 It's just on all the time.

00:43:49.720 And they edit it for television, I guess.

00:43:52.900 So that you get a version of it on television that's more packaged.

00:43:55.700 But you can actually just tune into a live stream of this house at any point.

00:43:59.080 Wow.

00:43:59.300 So now these journalists.

00:44:00.860 Until she was on it.

00:44:01.680 I didn't even know it was on anymore.

00:44:02.780 I didn't know either.

00:44:03.360 I mean, I thought it was over a long time ago.

00:44:04.980 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:05.480 But apparently it's still on and they actually just air footage throughout.

00:44:10.160 You can just log on and watch it at any point.

00:44:12.320 So these journalists who are obsessed with coming up with little nuggets about how evil Trump or Pence or whoever is are having to sit and just follow Omarosa around the house waiting for her to say something.

00:44:24.520 And they have to kind of monitor it 24 hours a day, which is really irritating them and is the only reason to make you smile in the story.

00:44:32.500 But there's another part of this, which is Omarosa and Piers Morgan are now in a battle.

00:44:43.180 Now, Piers Morgan, you may remember.

00:44:44.460 I want to know when Piers Morgan became a conservative, too.

00:44:47.360 When did that happen?

00:44:48.660 I don't think he is.

00:44:49.320 I think he just likes Trump.

00:44:50.260 He does.

00:44:51.080 I think he just is friends with Trump.

00:44:52.640 He more than likes Trump.

00:44:53.420 He loves Trump and he defends everything he does.

00:44:55.640 Yeah.

00:44:55.800 Which is great, but it's just disconcerting because I'm not used to it.

00:45:01.640 It seems so disingenuous, too.

00:45:03.380 I mean, yes, he just I think he's friendly with Trump.

00:45:06.500 He was on Celebrity Apprentice.

00:45:08.460 They have a relationship that goes back a few years.

00:45:11.440 So he's been defending Trump.

00:45:13.200 He's been very loyal.

00:45:14.480 He really has.

00:45:15.020 He has been.

00:45:15.540 Even when it's been like when Trump has said really conservative things, he's defended him on those conservative things.

00:45:20.520 Yeah, it shows you that Piers Morgan, there's no value in anything he says.

00:45:24.860 Right.

00:45:25.060 Right.

00:45:25.460 Which is why I hesitate to bring this story up at all.

00:45:27.880 But Piers Morgan has written a story in the Daily Mail about his relationship with Omarosa on the show when they were when they were there.

00:45:35.340 He says he met because they were both on Celebrity Apprentice.

00:45:39.240 Apprentice.

00:45:39.500 Yeah.

00:45:39.720 With Donald Trump.

00:45:42.480 They he's he says that they met and she he was aware of who she was.

00:45:50.420 Because of her her regular apprentice appearance several years later earlier awaiting their first challenge.

00:45:57.440 Piers Morgan says Omarosa came up to him and suggested that they have sex.

00:46:02.780 Quote, then we can make lots of money out of it.

00:46:08.160 Now, it's impossible for me to find a story with two people that are less likable than these two.

00:46:15.680 But he says Omarosa said to him that we need to have sex and then we can make lots of money out of it.

00:46:21.200 He looked back at her and laughed.

00:46:22.960 You must be joking.

00:46:23.840 You deluded woman.

00:46:25.300 She didn't take it.

00:46:26.280 Well, she said, quote, what are you gay?

00:46:30.400 Omarosa came up to him later on.

00:46:33.560 It said, do you want to show manse?

00:46:36.120 You know, a romance on the show.

00:46:39.800 And that's how they can make all their money out of it.

00:46:41.880 Now, after this, after his he apparently said no to her sexual advances, she got very angry with him.

00:46:50.780 Is that because he's a racist?

00:46:52.760 Did he turn her down because he's he's a racist?

00:46:55.240 No, she went a different direction.

00:46:56.400 First of all, she said she because it appears was separated from his ex-wife and and a mother, the mother of three of his four children.

00:47:06.120 Omarosa kept taunting him with things like the mother of your children hates you, peers, and your effing children hate you.

00:47:14.900 They're embarrassed by you.

00:47:16.180 Is there another man raising your children?

00:47:18.240 Then another occasion in front of Lennox Lewis, the former heavyweight champion, she said, hey, peers, I heard you got caught having relations with a gay waiter in a hotel pool.

00:47:35.180 Uh, peers says this was a lie.

00:47:39.300 Uh, he says he's not gay and he hadn't heard that.

00:47:42.780 She hadn't actually heard that rumor.

00:47:44.460 She was just making it up.

00:47:45.780 Eventually, um, uh, apparently on record, she Omarosa told Donald Trump that I think peers is in the closet.

00:47:52.960 She called him an effing, um, F word that described its gaze, said he'd been caught, um, giving oral pleasures to a male in a pool.

00:48:06.140 Uh, and, and again, that was her making that up entirely.

00:48:10.000 That's what peers says.

00:48:11.180 Yes.

00:48:11.360 Okay.

00:48:11.940 Uh, now Trump responded, said you're calling peers a homosexual.

00:48:14.740 I don't think, you know, him very well.

00:48:17.400 Uh, and then peers, his response was to come in and to kiss trace Adkins, um, and say, quote, I've always loved a beautiful cowboy and everyone laughed.

00:48:30.600 Okay.

00:48:31.360 I just want to, again, I guess why that was such a good show, right?

00:48:34.700 I mean, I guess it was.

00:48:37.780 I guess it was.

00:48:38.820 Sorry.

00:48:38.900 I missed that episode.

00:48:39.840 I will say it doesn't seem like a place I would recruit members for the white house though.

00:48:43.060 Right.

00:48:43.380 And I think the Omarosa thing, and you're seeing this, she's obviously trashing people.

00:48:47.680 She's trashed Trump a little bit.

00:48:48.960 She's trashed Pence.

00:48:50.320 She's threatened Kelly.

00:48:51.840 She's been saying, telling people that there was racism involved in the white house, that she's going to come out with it all.

00:48:57.040 And then, I mean, can you, I mean, can you imagine a less serious thing to do than to leave the white house?

00:49:01.840 And it's supposedly an official actual position where you're doing work, which no one in the white house can seem to detect what she actually did.

00:49:08.400 But, and then go immediately within weeks to celebrity big brother.

00:49:14.360 I mean, she's always been about herself.

00:49:16.720 That was her character on the show.

00:49:18.160 She was all about herself.

00:49:19.780 Yeah.

00:49:19.940 And why Trump decided to reward her, I guess, loyalty with this position is strange.

00:49:26.460 But I think for all parties involved, it's good that she's out of the white house.

00:49:30.580 No doubt about that.

00:49:32.520 And here's no doubt about that.

00:49:34.580 It's a whole nother thing.

00:49:35.620 Oh, the peer story is interesting.

00:49:39.540 It's, I can't get used to it.

00:49:41.600 I can't get used to his defense of a Republican.

00:49:44.820 I never believed that would happen.

00:49:47.780 Remember, he used to do shows every day about how evil guns were.

00:49:51.060 Uh-huh.

00:49:51.520 And every day on CNN.

00:49:53.520 And he would have a worse, seemingly, he would sit at home all day and try to develop a worse argument than the day before.

00:50:01.000 It was like, he crafted them and he did it every night.

00:50:04.480 It was pretty amazing.

00:50:05.520 It was.

00:50:05.780 Somebody who's still at the White House, though, and is under fire now, again, is Kellyanne Conway.

00:50:11.880 For her comments about Hope Hicks and her relationship with Rob Porter.

00:50:15.860 Apparently, they're dating now, right?

00:50:17.660 Yeah, I guess they're together.

00:50:19.200 Or at least, it's fairly recent that came out.

00:50:22.340 And I think that was kind of the thing that caused this controversy to kind of pop up.

00:50:26.780 Because she was spotted with him at one point.

00:50:29.800 Someone took pictures.

00:50:31.080 Then people started looking into Porter.

00:50:33.080 Because Hope Hicks is sort of this character that, you know, people love to investigate.

00:50:40.580 She's, you know, one of the things she does, and I think really well, is she does not make the story about her.

00:50:46.800 She's one of the only people in that White House, especially the early White House, that didn't want the press attention.

00:50:55.380 Right?

00:50:55.820 She wants to do a job for the president.

00:50:57.920 Right?

00:50:58.120 Like, that's what you're supposed to be doing when you're in the White House.

00:51:01.100 And people like Steve Bannon wanted to do a job for Steve Bannon.

00:51:04.240 Right?

00:51:04.640 And Omarosa wanted to do a job for Omarosa.

00:51:07.940 Hope seems to actually want to do a job for Donald Trump.

00:51:10.900 Okay?

00:51:11.240 Help the presidency.

00:51:12.460 Help it accomplish the goals that it has.

00:51:14.420 So people want to take her down because she's one of the only effective people in the White House.

00:51:19.160 At least at times, it's been that way.

00:51:20.800 And so they went after her relationship and started looking into it.

00:51:25.580 These accusations came out, and they were serious accusations.

00:51:29.120 Kellyanne Conway, and look, beyond accusations, there seems to be pretty significant evidence that these things are accurate.

00:51:38.200 That Rob Porter did these things, which is hard to believe.

00:51:40.800 Remember, Porter is a guy, he's not just some guy.

00:51:44.560 He came from Orrin Hatch's office.

00:51:47.100 He's been a guy who's been a mainstay in Republican politics for a while.

00:51:52.340 It's not like just some guy they picked up off the street.

00:51:54.280 It's surprising that this stuff wouldn't have come out previously.

00:51:56.800 And I can understand the White House thinking, if he worked for Orrin Hatch for all these years, we're not going to find any skeletons in the closet.

00:52:03.800 Well, they found skeletons in the closet and pictures of the skeletons in the closet.

00:52:07.140 And they're not pretty.

00:52:08.540 So serious accusations that needs to be said.

00:52:10.660 However, I think there's a way that this has been talked about with the Kellyanne Conway thing where we just constantly just jump to the worst possible way to translate a story because we want to be outraged and we want to go further.

00:52:23.900 Here are the comments that are so controversial from Kellyanne Conway.

00:52:27.240 This is this weekend.

00:52:28.460 Are you worried at all about Hope Hicks?

00:52:30.780 Well, I'm very close to Hope Hicks and I don't worry about her in that respect.

00:52:35.300 I'm sorry for any suffering that this woman has endured.

00:52:39.500 But in the case of Hope, I've rarely met somebody so strong with such excellent instincts and loyalty and smarts.

00:52:47.580 I didn't have the presence of mind and the professional capabilities at her age that I see in her every single day.

00:52:53.700 She's definitely strong, but strong women get abused, too.

00:52:55.700 It's not just weak women.

00:52:56.620 Oh, many women get abused.

00:52:58.340 No question.

00:52:59.120 Let me agree with you on that.

00:53:00.640 There's a stigma of silence surrounding all of these issues.

00:53:04.000 Again, whether it's drug abuse, child abuse, certainly intimate partner and spousal abuse.

00:53:08.700 There's no question that it knows no demographic or geographic balance.

00:53:12.380 No question, Jake.

00:53:13.500 So let's put that there.

00:53:14.360 This is unbelievable.

00:53:15.520 The way that was translated by the media was that Kellyanne Conway was blaming the victims of the abuse because they weren't strong enough.

00:53:24.980 That is nowhere near what she was just saying.

00:53:28.220 Nowhere near what she was saying.

00:53:29.500 First of all, let's be honest about it.

00:53:30.820 What she's trying to do is navigate an impossibly awkward situation where her friend is dating this person.

00:53:36.800 Nothing she could say would have been right there.

00:53:38.400 Nothing can solve that.

00:53:39.500 She's trying to say something nice about her friend or her co-worker.

00:53:43.060 That's all she's doing there.

00:53:44.380 She's not saying that people who were abused by this guy were weak and that was the cause of it.

00:53:49.180 First of all, she gives additional explanations like excellent instincts.

00:53:54.360 Right?

00:53:54.580 Again, saying that, you know, I think she's trying to say if she felt that something like this was going to happen, she'd leave.

00:53:59.240 But beyond that, she goes on to profusely agree with Jake Tapper's analysis that strong women get abused too.

00:54:08.000 And they do.

00:54:09.040 And she admits that and says it multiple times and says that there's no limitation, that anyone can be a victim of it.

00:54:15.260 She goes over and over and over again.

00:54:17.460 And this has become a controversy as if Kellyanne Conway was blaming the women for being abused because they weren't strong enough.

00:54:24.200 Now, no one who's made that point, I don't think, believes Kellyanne Conway thinks that.

00:54:30.560 Nobody thinks Kellyanne Conway's going, you know what?

00:54:33.300 If she was just strong enough, she wouldn't have been able to be been hit.

00:54:36.440 But that has nothing to do with it.

00:54:38.860 And everyone knows that.

00:54:40.520 But because they can't stand Trump, they go to any lengths to vilify somebody from the administration who's doing nothing but saying, trying to say something positive in an impossible situation.

00:54:52.120 She's just saying, look, my, you know, my close co-worker is dating this person.

00:54:56.520 She's got to make up her own decisions.

00:54:57.840 Right?

00:54:58.300 She's an adult.

00:54:59.280 She has to make her own decisions.

00:55:00.880 That's not my business.

00:55:02.120 But, you know, she's very strong and has great instincts.

00:55:04.440 You know, what is she supposed to do in that spot?

00:55:07.860 There's nothing they would have been okay with.

00:55:10.520 Nothing she would have said would have been okay.

00:55:12.640 Including the fact that she agreed with Jake Tapper's analysis that it's not about strength.

00:55:18.000 She actually said it and they still called her out on it.

00:55:22.600 There's nothing you can do in those situations.

00:55:25.180 Yeah.

00:55:26.600 888727, Beck.

00:55:28.040 We also have some interesting stuff developing with Sean White.

00:55:32.880 Three-time gold medal.

00:55:34.440 Winner.

00:55:35.180 We'll talk about that coming up.

00:55:36.660 With volatility in the stock market and the swings in Bitcoin, which are wild, there's the constant turmoil in Washington.

00:55:43.340 You may not have known that gold just came off the best year it's had since 2010.

00:55:48.180 And gold is up over 100 bucks since mid-December.

00:55:51.740 Lots of room to run as well.

00:55:53.520 Gold has been a safe haven for centuries.

00:55:56.020 You know that.

00:55:56.700 It performs well in times of volatility.

00:55:58.600 This is where people, when things start getting uneasy, and we've seen the stock market really drop and go up and down like crazy lately.

00:56:04.800 When that volatility goes up, people go into gold.

00:56:07.140 If you've done the speculating in crypto, maybe you've made some money off of Bitcoin, and you know what?

00:56:14.500 You're looking for a place to put that.

00:56:16.060 Maybe you should consider gold.

00:56:17.340 Gold isn't an all-in strategy.

00:56:18.860 It's here to help you spread out risk, diversify, and be part of a smart long-term investment strategy.

00:56:23.300 And as a reminder, you know, Goldline is great.

00:56:26.540 They're under new ownership with even better pricing and the same great service.

00:56:30.420 We've loved Goldline for a long time.

00:56:32.060 This is the place that I bought my gold.

00:56:33.540 It's where Glenn buys his.

00:56:35.100 For Glenn Beck listeners only, to help celebrate the Winter Olympics, Goldline is giving away an officially licensed Team USA Olympic one-ounce silver round on your next purchase.

00:57:05.820 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who is sick today.

00:57:09.380 Did you hear the air quotes there?

00:57:10.480 I did hear an air quote.

00:57:11.180 Even though I can see you, I heard the air quotes.

00:57:13.500 He's sick today.

00:57:17.340 Interesting.

00:57:17.780 Interesting on, I don't know, Valentine's Day when he admitted that he had nothing planned.

00:57:24.960 Let's be honest about it.

00:57:25.720 He talked about 1-800-Flowers all week and then forgot to order.

00:57:29.620 Right.

00:57:29.860 So now he's screwed.

00:57:31.100 Yeah.

00:57:31.460 He can't get a reservation anywhere.

00:57:33.940 And he's got to do something.

00:57:35.260 So what do you do?

00:57:36.120 You fake an illness and you stay home.

00:57:38.040 That's right.

00:57:38.560 You know?

00:57:39.060 That's right.

00:57:39.380 And now Tanya's going to be like taking care of him.

00:57:41.460 Honey, I've got flu.

00:57:43.080 I'm sick.

00:57:44.840 Right.

00:57:45.420 I'm sick.

00:57:46.240 I can't.

00:57:46.660 I wish I, because I had a huge thing planned.

00:57:49.580 And now, maybe we can do it this weekend.

00:57:52.400 I can't.

00:57:53.400 This weekend.

00:57:55.020 That's what you do.

00:57:55.820 Only when I feel better, though.

00:57:57.740 Right.

00:57:58.020 Because I don't, right now, I don't feel okay.

00:58:00.400 As for me, I think the love that my wife and I have for one another has transcended Valentine's

00:58:11.640 Day.

00:58:12.660 That's what I've come to believe.

00:58:14.180 I believe our love has transcended Valentine's Day.

00:58:18.920 It would demean our relationship to do something superficial on this day just because it's February

00:58:26.820 14th.

00:58:27.780 So basically, you also didn't get her anything.

00:58:30.820 That's not what I'm saying.

00:58:31.820 What I'm saying is our love is too big to demean it in this way.

00:58:36.220 That's really the way I'm looking at it.

00:58:37.260 It would be demeaning it to do something nice for her on Valentine's Day.

00:58:40.060 It would demean the love.

00:58:41.560 It would cheapen everything we have together.

00:58:43.400 Really?

00:58:43.900 Yeah.

00:58:44.480 That's an interesting perspective.

00:58:48.940 Glenn.

00:58:49.820 Back.

00:58:50.900 Mercury.

00:58:54.640 The economy is doing pretty good these days.

00:58:57.080 And it's kind of nice.

00:58:58.200 Some people actually have a little bit of extra money for the first time in years.

00:59:01.320 I know when we first moved into our new house down here in Texas, everything's bigger in

00:59:05.880 Texas.

00:59:06.540 You know, for the same amount of money, you can get a lot more house.

00:59:09.420 And we had some furniture needs.

00:59:12.800 Lisa decided that we need to get some new stuff for the new rooms.

00:59:16.160 And look, I, you know, I mean, I, I understand that, but I really don't want to spend lots

00:59:20.280 of money doing it.

00:59:21.680 However, I don't want to get crap in the house either.

00:59:24.160 That's why about half of our house is furnished with overstock.com stuff because overstock.com,

00:59:29.480 it sounds like, oh, okay.

00:59:30.580 These are like the products that other stores couldn't sell and they kind of just gave them

00:59:34.160 to overstock and they're selling them cheaply.

00:59:35.480 No, that's not what overstock is.

00:59:36.900 It's brand new stuff.

00:59:38.000 And you get it for overstock prices for this week.

00:59:41.500 Only enjoy their president's day sale.

00:59:43.060 It's the same great styles and thousands of deals up to 70% off with free shipping on

00:59:47.360 orders over $45.

00:59:48.660 Use the offer code back and get an additional 10% off.

00:59:51.160 It's overstock's president's day sale going on now only at overstock.com.

00:59:59.300 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:00:02.560 Because this is what has to be now.

01:00:05.580 Now, after, I mean, immediately after Sean White won his third gold medal last night,

01:00:12.400 the accusation started to fly or the reminders.

01:00:17.880 I guess it's been out there for a little while that he's been accused of sexual harassment.

01:00:23.260 And so it came up immediately.

01:00:25.020 He said, I don't want to talk about it.

01:00:26.120 I'm kind of here to do the Olympics right now.

01:00:27.720 And so he's under fire because of the way he handled this and because of the allegation

01:00:38.080 against him.

01:00:40.180 And I think we have the audio.

01:00:42.740 Here's Sean White.

01:00:44.140 I'm, you know, honestly, here to talk about the Olympics, not, you know, gossip.

01:00:49.160 So, but I don't think so.

01:00:52.540 I am who I am and I'm proud of who I am.

01:00:55.180 And my friends, you know, love me and vowed for me.

01:00:59.000 And I think that's stands on its own.

01:01:02.740 So thank you.

01:01:03.640 But so you're saying that the allegations against you are gossip.

01:01:06.600 I think we're here to talk about the gold medal and the amazing day we had today.

01:01:10.020 Thank you.

01:01:10.680 So if we don't have another question, why don't we go ahead and just pass the mic?

01:01:14.040 I said, it's a, it's an amazing standard we've hit with this and that you can't even say

01:01:20.600 you didn't do the thing.

01:01:23.860 Right.

01:01:24.300 That's not an acceptable response.

01:01:26.380 The only acceptable response is to feel for the person accusing you.

01:01:30.120 It's to immediately apologize whether you apparently did it or not.

01:01:33.760 Right.

01:01:34.240 You got to apologize.

01:01:35.600 That's, that's a, that's a tad strange.

01:01:37.360 Is it not?

01:01:37.940 Because if you didn't do anything more than a tad, what are you apologizing for?

01:01:40.940 If you didn't do anything?

01:01:41.840 Yeah.

01:01:42.140 Right.

01:01:42.500 Yes.

01:01:43.320 But they jumped all over him for calling it gossip because supposedly there's a settlement

01:01:47.520 of some kind.

01:01:48.780 Now, did he do all the things that he's accused of for, for one thing, he is accused of repeatedly

01:01:56.360 sexually harassing her.

01:01:58.360 This, uh, this drummer in his band, he's got a band on the side called, uh, bad things.

01:02:03.280 She was the drummer in his band for a while for about seven years, I think.

01:02:08.340 So the quote is repeatedly sexually harassed her and forced his authoritarian management

01:02:16.540 style on her.

01:02:18.180 That's not, that's not, that's not, that's not okay.

01:02:20.800 Not okay to be an authoritarian management style, but here's the thing.

01:02:24.620 Uh, leave the band if you don't like his authoritarian management style, can't you leave the band

01:02:30.480 and find a different one on that part of it?

01:02:32.580 Yes.

01:02:32.920 Yes.

01:02:33.260 Uh, sexual harassment.

01:02:34.500 Right.

01:02:34.760 The other thing is totally other.

01:02:36.100 Yeah.

01:02:36.280 I don't buy the, well, he was in a power position.

01:02:39.280 Yeah.

01:02:39.700 Shut up.

01:02:40.560 He ran the thing.

01:02:41.600 Go away then.

01:02:42.820 Get out.

01:02:43.960 Get away from the hassle.

01:02:45.500 From the business perspective side of it completely, right?

01:02:48.360 Like if someone, everybody's had a boss, I mean, you know, usually I have one that's

01:02:52.560 sitting in your seat most days that is really irritating to work for, obviously.

01:02:57.880 Um, and that, so that part of it is, yeah, you're right.

01:03:00.400 Like sometimes you have to leave.

01:03:01.800 There's this big lawsuit going on with vice right now in which, uh, one of the accusations

01:03:06.000 is, and again, this is just focusing on this one part of it is, you know, a woman said she

01:03:10.740 got hired for like 35 grand a year and another writer got hired, it was a guy for 45 grand

01:03:15.620 a year, uh, and sometimes even more than that.

01:03:18.400 And it's the same job.

01:03:19.740 Why am I getting paid less?

01:03:20.780 Well, again, that is the type of thing that you, if, if you believe your, uh, female genitals

01:03:28.100 are the reason why I guess you could go out and, and, and have all the lawsuits you want.

01:03:33.420 However, this company would be morons for, cause you could go to another, if you're really

01:03:39.440 worth 45,000, like you are 55,000, like you believe you were, you could go to another

01:03:43.660 company and make that right.

01:03:45.380 Like that is a, why wouldn't you do that?

01:03:47.360 Why wouldn't you want to maximize, uh, your, um, the amount of money you made?

01:03:50.620 And in addition to that, it means vice would probably fail.

01:03:53.560 If vice was dumb enough to say, you know what?

01:03:55.900 I only want guys here.

01:03:57.480 I only want guys with people with this sort of genitals, uh, working for me and I'm going

01:04:01.780 to pay them 50% more.

01:04:04.220 This that's how companies will go out of business.

01:04:06.140 That's a bad business plan.

01:04:07.360 It's stupid.

01:04:08.040 Why would anyone do that?

01:04:09.440 This is goes back to, you know, why men earn more.

01:04:12.100 The guy, there was a guy, uh, we've talked about him before.

01:04:14.600 Uh, he was in the New York, um, national organization of women.

01:04:19.340 He was the director of the national organization of women in, in New York city.

01:04:23.400 And he decided, he saw all the propaganda about, Hey, you know, women earn at that time.

01:04:29.520 It was like 60 cents on the dollar or whatever it was, uh, than men.

01:04:33.000 And he, a pretty smart observation was like, Hey, this is great.

01:04:37.300 I can just go get women and hire them for 60% of the cost and make a lot of money.

01:04:42.160 So he started looking into that and did that with his own company.

01:04:45.380 And what he found was that it didn't work at all because women had different priorities

01:04:50.700 than men.

01:04:51.100 And there were a lot of reasons that explained that wage gap, which is a lot smaller now,

01:04:54.600 but still the wage gap, it was, it wasn't real.

01:04:57.240 It was, it was because of, of education.

01:04:59.700 It was because of time served.

01:05:01.640 It was because of men who wanted to do more dangerous jobs than women did.

01:05:06.960 They want it.

01:05:07.540 And men were more likely to leave for three months to go work on an oil rig in the middle

01:05:12.040 of, uh, you know, some, you know, uh, crazy part of the ocean than they, than women were.

01:05:17.920 And so men's, you just averaging out salaries made no difference at all.

01:05:22.320 And so there's that part of it.

01:05:24.260 There's part of it here that like, if you're talking about authoritative men or authoritarian

01:05:28.080 management style, who knows what that actually means, but generally speaking, that's a good

01:05:33.800 reason to go work for somebody else.

01:05:35.720 Sexual harassment.

01:05:36.620 You should not be sexually harassed and have to leave, right?

01:05:38.720 We all understand that.

01:05:39.740 If he sent sexually explicit and graphic images, as she says, then that's despicable.

01:05:44.500 You can't do that.

01:05:45.000 And that's indefensible.

01:05:46.960 Now his attorney says the, the allegations lack merit.

01:05:51.960 So they're kind of denying that he did that.

01:05:54.680 So I, I don't know.

01:05:55.860 I haven't seen the, the evidence one way or the other.

01:05:58.900 Uh, but just the accusation now is enough.

01:06:02.480 I mean, people will be yelling about it, stripping him of his gold medal.

01:06:05.320 I'm sure that you can't function in society anymore.

01:06:10.040 Just from the accusation.

01:06:11.780 I am dying to see this moment in the middle of the me too movement, which is this someone's

01:06:16.860 on, on, on TV with someone who talking about somebody who's been sexually harassed, or there's

01:06:22.060 been an accusation of it.

01:06:23.740 You know, you're talking to whatever, whoever the host is and you say, look, have you, is

01:06:27.500 there anyone in your life host that you have not sexually harassed?

01:06:32.420 Is there one member in your life, any female you've worked with in your entire life that

01:06:37.560 you have not sexually harassed?

01:06:38.660 I would assume the answer to that would be yes.

01:06:40.740 Right?

01:06:41.180 Yeah.

01:06:41.820 So give me that, think of who that person is and think about tomorrow.

01:06:46.480 That person comes out with an accusation of sexual harassment about you.

01:06:50.640 Okay?

01:06:51.040 So you have not sexually harassed them at all.

01:06:53.160 There's no merit to it whatsoever.

01:06:55.060 And that person has harassed you.

01:06:57.000 What do you say on television tomorrow?

01:06:59.640 What reasoning, what excuse, what explanation can you possibly give that other hosts would

01:07:07.440 allow you to give without calling you a hater of women?

01:07:11.220 What is the, what's the combination of words that you could use to explain that you didn't

01:07:16.440 actually do this, but of course you care about women being sexually harassed because people

01:07:21.500 are being put in this position.

01:07:22.980 Some of them who have been accused have legitimately done these things.

01:07:27.120 We've talked about dozens of them, but if you are wrongfully accused, we are setting up

01:07:33.340 a society that does not allow you to defend yourself, does not allow you to say, as he said,

01:07:38.940 you know, gossip, right?

01:07:39.900 I don't know if his are true or not, but if it were not true, how would he defend himself

01:07:43.800 other than saying like, look, people are talking about stuff.

01:07:46.580 I don't want to call her a liar because then you're going to get mad at me.

01:07:49.700 I don't want to say that it's not important because then you're going to say, I don't

01:07:53.340 think all women's accusations of sexual harassment are important.

01:07:57.200 So I'm saying it's gossip.

01:07:58.740 Again, an unconfirmed rumor that I'm trying to kind of push off to the side because I didn't

01:08:04.440 do it and I want to talk about my gold medal.

01:08:06.660 Well, even that is not, there's no combination of words that you would find acceptable in

01:08:12.360 this situation.

01:08:13.520 And there has to be, you know, Trump came out with that tweet about due process, which I

01:08:20.840 mean, he's not talking about constitutional due process.

01:08:23.240 Obviously he's not, these aren't necessarily being charged with crimes here, but some sort

01:08:29.560 of process to determine whether the person did the thing you're talking about.

01:08:33.220 Like, I, I don't know why that should not be crazy.

01:08:37.040 This is from a CNN.

01:08:38.620 Uh, they're talking, uh, about whether Trump is an abuser or not based on this tweet.

01:08:44.960 This goes beyond partisan politics.

01:08:47.280 Violence against women is a human rights issue.

01:08:49.580 And I want to reiterate my call to GOP and Republican women that it is time to get out.

01:08:55.640 I feel like GOP women are trapped with their abuser, which is Trump.

01:08:59.360 They're trapped with their abuser.

01:09:04.220 Now they decided to actually ask Trump voters what they thought of his position when it comes

01:09:09.640 to the sexual allegations.

01:09:11.100 And here's how that went.

01:09:12.360 Do you think the president's compassion may have been misguided?

01:09:15.000 I don't think that it means that he doesn't have compassion for women.

01:09:18.300 I think that if you leave something out of a sentence or you leave someone out, it doesn't

01:09:21.600 mean that you're not thinking about them.

01:09:23.120 I think that we're victimizing the president, if you will, by the sense that every single

01:09:27.860 word, every single tweet that he puts out is being scrutinized to the last molecule.

01:09:33.940 I think what he, what he voiced is valid.

01:09:36.980 Should we take the victims into consideration?

01:09:38.780 Absolutely.

01:09:39.320 But should lives be condemned without due process?

01:09:42.500 Absolutely not.

01:09:43.440 So despite this tweet, you all do believe that he is a great supporter of women and stands

01:09:47.960 up for women.

01:09:48.460 Wow, sounded pretty unanimous.

01:09:52.940 It did.

01:09:54.280 And, and look, I, you know, he's, uh, people make arguments.

01:09:58.180 He's, he's elevated a lot of women to very powerful positions in the government.

01:10:01.920 Um, and so, and he did that in his business as well.

01:10:04.560 It was one of his defenses when these things were coming out, but separately from whether

01:10:07.600 he actually likes women or not, the idea that a person can be accused of something with

01:10:13.520 no process of figuring out whether that accusation is true.

01:10:18.220 And that's happened over and over and over and over again.

01:10:20.740 I don't understand how you could be on the other side of that one.

01:10:23.180 Now, look, with Rob Porter, there is a picture, there is a, he's still denying it, but there

01:10:30.660 is a picture of a woman with a black eye.

01:10:32.880 He's giving some of a weird explanation of how it happened.

01:10:35.660 And at least there's a reason to, to have some skepticism over his denial, right?

01:10:42.120 Um, there were, at the time there were, um, uh, you know, there were police reports and

01:10:48.160 stuff like that to me.

01:10:49.640 And again, this is me.

01:10:51.380 You're guessing, right?

01:10:52.440 We, we weren't there, but to me, it seems like something really bad happened on multiple

01:10:56.420 occasions and it was a real problem.

01:10:58.580 Um, so, but again, you're, you're, I'm judging that never, I've never met either of these

01:11:04.740 people.

01:11:05.300 I don't know anything about it.

01:11:06.720 Now, Donald Trump has spent months with this guy and he's found him to be a trustworthy,

01:11:11.560 good guy as, as he even defended him after the accusations came out.

01:11:16.100 So he's, he's dealing with more information than I have or that any of these journalists

01:11:20.460 have, right?

01:11:21.680 Because he spent a lot of time with them and that's, that's part of this.

01:11:24.680 You know, maybe he is misjudging, uh, this person based on a personal relationship, but

01:11:29.540 that's information that he's had over and gained over, over a year.

01:11:32.980 The issue here is not about Rob Porter who, I mean, look, the president, they, they fired

01:11:36.800 him, right?

01:11:38.020 Yeah.

01:11:38.260 You know, I mean, they let him resign.

01:11:39.900 Yeah.

01:11:40.340 He resigned.

01:11:40.940 Technically he resigned, but I mean, they want, they pushed him out because they saw these pictures

01:11:44.800 and they realized how bad it was.

01:11:46.000 And this is something that happens with human beings.

01:11:47.560 I mean, the Ray Rice thing is a good example of it.

01:11:49.280 The NFL, you know, uh, suspended him for a couple of games until the video came out.

01:11:54.060 When you start seeing photos and you realize that the real, uh, nature of these things

01:11:57.920 and it's not, it goes from a, uh, uh, a legalese word, uh, on, on a piece of paper into a photo.

01:12:05.220 It really brings it home.

01:12:06.840 And then that's okay.

01:12:07.880 He actually claims he took the photo in question.

01:12:12.320 The one that happened when they were on vacation in Florence.

01:12:16.220 Wow.

01:12:16.860 I didn't hear that part of it.

01:12:18.080 Now she says she took the photograph of herself with a black eye, but Mr. Porter in, according

01:12:23.920 to the story says, first of all, the images are misleading.

01:12:28.060 I took the photos given to the media nearly 15 years ago.

01:12:32.120 And the reality behind them is nowhere close to what's being described.

01:12:36.000 I don't know what that means.

01:12:37.260 He said something about like, you know, she may have been hit with a glass of some sort.

01:12:41.920 Uh, did he throw it at her?

01:12:43.320 I don't think that's what his defense was.

01:12:45.160 No, I don't.

01:12:46.360 Okay.

01:12:46.720 She was hit with a glass.

01:12:48.500 I look, I don't know.

01:12:49.780 In the eye.

01:12:50.680 Here's, here's what I would say about this.

01:12:52.140 Again, my belief is that this actually happened and it's really bad.

01:12:56.820 So to set that straight, but we also have to acknowledge that at some point, something

01:13:01.740 like this will happen.

01:13:03.280 And the person who is accused will not have done it.

01:13:07.140 And he has, that person has no way of defending themselves because every excuse from, I didn't

01:13:12.440 do this.

01:13:12.800 What are you talking about?

01:13:13.740 To, you know what?

01:13:15.000 Uh, I just want to make sure that I understand that everyone understands how I feel about

01:13:19.160 women.

01:13:19.420 And that is that they're great.

01:13:21.100 There's everywhere, everything in between there.

01:13:23.420 All of it is off limits.

01:13:24.920 All of it is some crazy excuse.

01:13:26.580 And it's like, if you didn't actually do it, what would you say?

01:13:29.880 You've taken all of the words and made them all disallowed.

01:13:34.200 And that, that can't be the way we do this either.

01:13:36.280 The only acceptable thing is I support her accusations, but if you do get right, you

01:13:41.300 know, but then your life's over too.

01:13:43.280 Right.

01:13:44.040 Right.

01:13:44.380 But that's the only acceptable thing you can say.

01:13:46.080 And then you're just out of your job.

01:13:47.300 That was the Louis CK approach.

01:13:48.700 Now, Louis CK, if you remember this one, he, uh, did things to himself in the room with

01:13:54.920 other, with, with, with their permission.

01:13:56.460 Now he says he never did anything without their permission.

01:13:59.320 Yeah.

01:13:59.860 And their, their response to that was, well, but he was a powerful comedian and he had power

01:14:04.360 over us.

01:14:05.000 Sorry.

01:14:05.220 I don't buy that.

01:14:05.700 We had no, nothing we could do.

01:14:07.200 I don't buy that power thing.

01:14:08.320 Right.

01:14:08.660 Power dynamic.

01:14:09.940 But yeah.

01:14:10.380 You know who does buy it?

01:14:12.280 Apparently, Louis CK.

01:14:13.620 Yeah.

01:14:13.940 Because Louis CK in his statement basically said, you know what?

01:14:16.960 I should have never done those things because I was famous.

01:14:20.400 And, uh, they, even though they agreed, I still shouldn't have done it because I should

01:14:25.880 have known they couldn't say no because I was admired by them was the way he put it.

01:14:31.080 And it's like, wow, even that, which is like the most over the top, uh, conciliatory way

01:14:39.400 of talking about this.

01:14:40.980 Even that was rejected.

01:14:42.160 And we haven't heard a word from the guy since.

01:14:43.560 So there is like literally no combination of words that you can say that apparently is

01:14:49.380 okay, even as a defense.

01:14:51.740 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

01:14:53.460 More on this coming up in just a minute.

01:14:55.200 Uh, we've been talking to you for a while about LifeLock.

01:14:57.560 One in four have experienced identity theft.

01:14:59.780 Now one in four is a high number, but guess what?

01:15:01.920 That's getting a lot worse.

01:15:03.280 You think it's only going to stop at 25% with the way our data, you know, our data economy

01:15:07.800 is operating.

01:15:08.520 It's not.

01:15:09.400 LifeLock can help you detect these threats and protect your identity.

01:15:13.420 Um, because if you're just monitoring your credit, that's not enough.

01:15:15.740 Christian is a sound engineer who, uh, joined LifeLock in 2014.

01:15:19.460 He said, from my perspective, I know my information's out there.

01:15:22.040 I don't like it, but it's the reality of the situation.

01:15:24.520 After receiving an alert from LifeLock, he learned that five cell phone accounts and a

01:15:28.460 department store credit card were opened in his name.

01:15:30.780 He called LifeLock.

01:15:32.040 They, he said, they said, sit back, relax.

01:15:33.960 We'll take care of it.

01:15:34.680 And they did.

01:15:35.480 Now he's a member for life.

01:15:36.700 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but

01:15:41.040 you don't have to deal with identity theft on your own.

01:15:56.640 Mercury.

01:16:02.720 Glenn Beck.

01:16:04.140 There's a, uh, an article in New York Times Magazine with an interesting proposition.

01:16:11.720 This simple concept.

01:16:16.040 Let's ban porn.

01:16:19.680 Let's just, if porn is harmful to kids and to others and to relationships as so many people

01:16:28.520 think it is, yeah, let's just ban it then.

01:16:32.840 Would you be in favor of that?

01:16:34.320 Free speech issues that that brings up?

01:16:39.880 Are they outweighed by the harm that's being done?

01:16:43.660 Get into that.

01:16:44.340 Coming up.

01:16:46.500 888-727-BECK.

01:16:49.440 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:16:53.320 Glenn Beck.

01:16:55.360 Mercury.

01:16:55.800 Love.

01:17:03.200 Courage.

01:17:04.880 Truth.

01:17:06.620 Glenn Beck.

01:17:08.300 Pat and Stu for Glenn, uh, who is down with the flu today.

01:17:11.940 888-727-BECK.

01:17:15.640 Although it is, you know, Valentine's Day, so that may have something to do with it.

01:17:19.620 Because he was unprepared.

01:17:21.120 Yeah, bottom line is he didn't prepare, he didn't get to Tanya anything.

01:17:24.140 Mm-hmm.

01:17:24.480 Uh, decided, hey, what if I fake an illness?

01:17:26.960 Yeah.

01:17:27.380 Uh, that way I can get out of work and I don't have to do anything for dinner.

01:17:30.320 And then I can just say, oh, we'll just, oh, I reschedule those reservations to the

01:17:33.380 nice, perfect restaurant for a day that there just doesn't happen to be a crowd there.

01:17:37.000 Yeah, since it's virtually impossible to get restaurant reservations at a nice place

01:17:42.880 now.

01:17:43.600 I mean, it's over.

01:17:44.500 It's too late.

01:17:44.980 It's too late.

01:17:45.600 Yeah.

01:17:46.020 Uh, you know, 1-800-Flowers, you could have ordered yesterday or the day before, but Glenn didn't

01:17:50.080 do that.

01:17:50.480 He told you to do it, but he probably forgot.

01:17:52.600 Mm-hmm.

01:17:52.940 So now what does he have?

01:17:53.860 Nothing.

01:17:54.420 Nothing.

01:17:55.300 And so all of a sudden, ooh, I'm sick.

01:17:59.260 Uh-huh.

01:18:00.140 Okay.

01:18:00.760 All right.

01:18:01.160 Sure.

01:18:01.500 No, of course.

01:18:02.040 All right.

01:18:02.320 Of course that happened.

01:18:03.200 Got some interesting, uh, school issues that have arisen again.

01:18:07.420 One is in the, uh, Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in a, in a, an ISD, an independent school

01:18:14.700 district called Birdville.

01:18:15.620 Uh, they have disciplined a teacher for handing out a questionnaire to sixth grade students.

01:18:21.840 So these kids are 12 years old, 11 and 12.

01:18:24.640 Ask them to rank their level of comfort with people of different races, ethnic, ethnicities,

01:18:29.680 and, uh, sexual orientation.

01:18:31.240 The, how comfortable am I questionnaire was distributed to one class at North Richmond,

01:18:36.720 uh, middle school on February 7th.

01:18:40.660 And one of the parents said she was shocked when her 12 year old son came home and showed

01:18:46.520 her the questionnaire.

01:18:47.940 I wasn't quite ready for my son to be exposed to these types of things.

01:18:51.140 It's things like, uh, statements.

01:18:54.120 How do you feel and rank them on a range of one to four, one being I'm not comfortable

01:19:00.220 at all, four being I'm completely comfortable with this.

01:19:03.420 A friend invites you to a gay bar at 12 years old.

01:19:06.980 How comfortable are you with that?

01:19:08.740 Well, I, first of all, we'd be breaking the law by entering a bar under the age of drinking.

01:19:14.240 Um, but I would be incredibly comfortable.

01:19:16.720 Incredibly comfortable.

01:19:17.280 That's the only way to answer that.

01:19:18.540 What's wrong with that?

01:19:19.380 Nothing.

01:19:20.080 Right.

01:19:20.580 Other than he's underage.

01:19:22.180 Cause it's, it's interesting cause I, uh, you know, I, a lot of gay people go to, there's

01:19:27.980 not such a thing as a straight bar, right?

01:19:29.720 But a bar that's not a gay bar, but it's, I wouldn't say it's overwhelmingly common for

01:19:35.280 a straight person to attend a gay bar.

01:19:37.440 Right.

01:19:37.960 It does seem like, uh, when you put the sexual orientation of the people you're choosing

01:19:42.080 to enter in kind of the title of the bar, maybe the people who don't have that sexual

01:19:46.760 orientation might not want to go in or it might not be their first choice.

01:19:50.520 And yet you're supposed to still be comfortable with it, I guess.

01:19:54.160 Right.

01:19:54.480 Isn't that the point of a questionnaire like this?

01:19:56.820 You should still be comfortable with it.

01:19:58.840 Well, I'm not gay and not that I, you know, have a, they let them do it.

01:20:04.660 They, I just don't want to go in there because that's not my sexual orientation.

01:20:08.440 So I would more likely go to a non-gay bar.

01:20:11.080 I would think, and I I'm speculating a tad here, but if, uh, maybe one of our gay listeners

01:20:16.180 could call in on this topic, I would be interested to know as a gay man, gay man, gay journalist,

01:20:22.540 if you're a gay man and you go to a gay bar, are you happy if a straight man is there?

01:20:29.620 Because to me, I would think if I'm going to a gay bar, it limits your opportunity and

01:20:35.560 also like might mislead you, right?

01:20:37.380 Like you might be thinking like, Oh, I assume I walked into a gay bar.

01:20:40.760 I assume what 90% of the people here are also gay.

01:20:44.060 It's a gay bar, maybe more, maybe a hundred percent is what you're hoping for.

01:20:47.840 Uh, and if there's a straight guy who's there because, you know, he's trying to show how tolerant

01:20:52.400 and woke he is, I didn't think that'd be kind of annoying as a gay guy.

01:20:56.980 Like, I'd rather know that everyone, like, I don't have to go up and figure out whether

01:21:01.080 this person is straight or gay as you would at maybe an, at another bar.

01:21:04.560 Well, let's be honest.

01:21:05.920 You go to a bar normally to meet somebody to start a relationship with, right?

01:21:11.460 It's at least part of the, part of the reason it's particularly.

01:21:13.280 You can drink at home.

01:21:14.020 So you're at the, you're at the bar to meet somebody.

01:21:17.980 It is legal.

01:21:18.580 Not all the, I mean, like I've gone to bars without wanting to meet people.

01:21:21.920 I mean, I, you know, it's, it's a fun environment.

01:21:23.820 You're watching, you know, you're hanging out.

01:21:25.400 Well, yeah, you could, you could be watching a football game or.

01:21:27.640 Yeah, exactly.

01:21:28.200 There's a lot, you know, but yes, if you're going to a, you'd think if you're going to

01:21:31.620 a gay bar that.

01:21:34.360 You're looking for gay people to hang out with.

01:21:36.380 Gay people to hang out with.

01:21:37.200 That doesn't necessarily mean you're looking to start a relationship, but that's certainly

01:21:40.080 implied and would be a, a, a high percentage play.

01:21:43.660 Okay.

01:21:43.880 I'd say.

01:21:44.640 So to a 12 year old person in, in elementary school, strange, strange question.

01:21:51.740 Right.

01:21:52.100 Because, you know, again, it would be illegal for them to enter the building.

01:21:56.760 So they should feel completely uncomfortable with it.

01:22:00.080 Here's the next question.

01:22:01.440 Your sister invites her new boyfriend to dinner, but he is a female to male transsexual.

01:22:07.280 Or how comfortable are you with that?

01:22:09.200 First of all, is transsexual.

01:22:10.460 Okay.

01:22:10.780 Is that even the term?

01:22:11.720 I don't.

01:22:12.300 I would say transgendered.

01:22:14.080 Transgender, right.

01:22:15.120 Transsexual is an old term.

01:22:16.220 Well, you're transsexual if you've actually had, is this right?

01:22:19.140 That you've actually had the surgery.

01:22:21.000 I don't know what you're about to say, but whatever you're saying, you're about to say

01:22:23.260 is definitely not right.

01:22:24.460 It can't be right because it's coming out of your mouth.

01:22:26.760 Yeah, right.

01:22:27.280 Is this okay?

01:22:28.500 It's never okay after you say, is this okay?

01:22:31.380 That's a rule.

01:22:34.380 Okay.

01:22:35.080 All right.

01:22:35.560 So those are the types of questions.

01:22:37.920 Would you have a problem with that?

01:22:39.580 With, with your, with your kids being asked?

01:22:41.420 So if your, your sister brings over a male to female.

01:22:45.940 A female to male.

01:22:47.620 Transsexual.

01:22:48.060 How transsexual would you be comfortable with?

01:22:49.280 So this is a person who used to be female.

01:22:51.820 Now it's apparently male.

01:22:53.480 And, and they brought, uh, him to dinner.

01:22:56.700 It's an interesting question to ask a sixth grader.

01:22:58.860 Isn't it?

01:22:59.700 Seems like.

01:23:00.340 Any of these sexual orientation questions with a sixth grader, with a 12 year old, to

01:23:06.500 me, stop it.

01:23:08.540 Don't you.

01:23:09.320 First of all, what does the school have to do with any of this?

01:23:12.840 Yeah.

01:23:13.160 Teach them reading, writing, and arithmetic.

01:23:15.160 That's what I want you to do.

01:23:16.280 And I want you to leave the social justice nonsense to me.

01:23:20.460 Okay.

01:23:21.020 I'll teach them that.

01:23:22.060 You'll teach them the social justice nonsense.

01:23:23.160 If I deem it appropriate.

01:23:24.560 Yes.

01:23:25.400 Yes.

01:23:26.020 Right.

01:23:26.700 I'd be livid.

01:23:28.120 And apparently a lot of these parents were because, um, you know, it's in Texas and people

01:23:33.640 still get livid about their children being asked sexual questions like this.

01:23:39.280 And actually the, uh, teacher involved was, was disciplined.

01:23:44.560 Um, so the, it doesn't necessarily spell out what the discipline was, but the, yeah, they

01:23:50.680 didn't elaborate on it, but they do say that she was in fact, uh, disciplined.

01:23:56.680 A middle school teacher in Florida got fired last year for doing the same questionnaire.

01:24:01.820 So apparently this is making the rounds in schools across America.

01:24:05.500 Yeah.

01:24:05.660 And probably not a good idea, particularly at that level.

01:24:07.700 I mean, I don't know that I want it at any level, you know, that's not, I don't want

01:24:10.560 it at school at all.

01:24:11.560 I mean, now if you go to a very liberal college, you send your kids there and you want to, you

01:24:15.900 know, have them in, you know, investigate their gender identity.

01:24:19.000 That's, you know, totally sociology class or whatever choice when you're going to a public

01:24:23.920 school, I mean, even if you went to a private, if you, if you, as a parent, Pat chose to send

01:24:29.260 your kid to a social justice private school, that would be something that would be expected

01:24:33.940 there.

01:24:34.220 When it's, when you're talking about a public school that you're paying for with your tax

01:24:38.100 dollars, that's supposed to be, uh, teaching your kids the basics of learning.

01:24:43.140 It's obviously not appropriate, but this is just, I mean, like the schools in general are

01:24:48.200 getting stranger and stranger.

01:24:49.760 They're not talking about banning the idea of having a best friend.

01:24:57.500 So you, because if you have a best friend, that means you're saying to others, you're

01:25:02.600 not, they're not their best friends, which is that's exclusive.

01:25:06.860 It is not inclusive.

01:25:09.900 That's a big problem.

01:25:10.820 This is up on the blaze.com right now.

01:25:13.360 And apparently this is something they actually believe is an issue.

01:25:16.240 So now look, obviously when you're a kid, you're very sensitive to who's your best

01:25:20.380 friend.

01:25:20.660 I mean, did you, when you were a kid, did you have like a, an internal list of who

01:25:24.280 you're, I used to have a top, like three, my top three friends list in my head.

01:25:28.600 Definitely.

01:25:29.040 You know, like that is, you kind of do that when you're a kid.

01:25:31.680 It's kind of, it's sort of a natural thing.

01:25:33.300 It's not something necessarily I would want schools to encourage, right?

01:25:38.260 Like I wouldn't necessarily say, Hey, let's give your top, give me your list of your top

01:25:41.720 three friends.

01:25:42.480 I wouldn't say that that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate either.

01:25:45.740 But this is happening in America and Europe.

01:25:47.980 It's up on the blaze.

01:25:49.640 They discourage students from having best friends.

01:25:53.080 This is the school in New York city.

01:25:56.660 And they can have, are considering banning best friends with the enthusiastic support of

01:26:02.680 education experts.

01:26:03.900 This is why my kids go to private school.

01:26:05.060 This is why you do it, right?

01:26:08.160 You have, your kids were homeschooled, uh, for most of their, uh, lives and you're a

01:26:12.940 big fan of, of, of homeschooling.

01:26:15.260 And you know, like I just don't want the experimentation on my kids.

01:26:20.240 You know, I feel like there's, there's this idea that, you know what we, we try to, we, we

01:26:24.540 think that this is an important thing.

01:26:25.940 Let's try it on these kids.

01:26:27.260 I don't want to be the parent who sends their kids into that environment where they're the

01:26:30.660 gerbil, right?

01:26:31.900 Like, I don't want my kid to be the poor field mouse that's getting needles put into

01:26:35.560 it, uh, with whatever experiment the government thinks is a good idea this week.

01:26:40.220 I'd rather avoid that if it's at all possible.

01:26:44.040 Um, they, uh, clinical psychologist, Dr. Barbara Greenberg told WCBS that the idea is catching

01:26:50.460 on in schools.

01:26:51.140 According to Greenberg, there has been a movement in some American schools and European schools

01:26:54.760 to ban the phrase best friend, which is interesting because can a government institution ban

01:27:01.820 words, I'm going to go with no, there's not really a basis for that.

01:27:07.060 But the idea of banning the phrase best friends is a very intriguing social experiment.

01:27:12.880 They actually use the freaking word.

01:27:15.560 Don't experiment on my children, please.

01:27:18.520 Um, Greenberg acknowledged that simply banning the phrase won't stop children from having

01:27:22.080 close relationships, but I encourage kids to be more inclusive in their friendships.

01:27:25.280 I see kids come in all week who are feeling dreadful because they are excluded and because

01:27:30.860 they are neither, either nobody's best friend or their best friend has moved on.

01:27:35.160 So if this doesn't work, then the next step is to ban best friends, right?

01:27:38.700 And to force kids to hang out with other kids.

01:27:42.140 Isn't that the natural progression of this movement?

01:27:45.640 Okay.

01:27:45.920 Not only can you not say that that's your best friend, you can't even hang out with your best

01:27:51.760 friend now because we want you to be more inclusive.

01:27:53.900 You got to hang out with this kid over here.

01:27:56.380 I could, I could see them experimenting with that too.

01:28:02.060 A hundred percent because they, that is what this, apparently what education has become

01:28:06.500 a one giant social experiment.

01:28:08.520 And it's not what I, you know, it's not why I wanted to go to school.

01:28:11.120 It's not why I, it's not what the reason I think that school exists.

01:28:16.080 Yeah.

01:28:16.260 My kids to a learning level, getting them as smart as they can to be able to figure out

01:28:20.480 how to think and then let them figure it out on their own along with their parents, their

01:28:23.560 faith, their, their friends, their relatives.

01:28:26.420 You know, that is your, I think what we've lost here is the idea of school as part of the

01:28:33.780 process.

01:28:35.400 School is a chunk of what kids gain as they grow up.

01:28:41.120 Instead, we say that needs to be all, they need to do all of it instead of saying like,

01:28:47.020 okay, well, let's fill in the reading, writing, arithmetic, the basics, and then let their

01:28:51.440 culture and their parents and their friends and their relatives fill in the gaps, the belief

01:28:57.420 system, right?

01:28:58.540 Teach them to read.

01:28:59.320 Yeah.

01:28:59.760 And teach them to do math.

01:29:01.140 Get them the basics.

01:29:02.080 And teach them history.

01:29:03.020 Because, you know, look, can, can parents teach kids to read?

01:29:05.140 Absolutely.

01:29:05.920 But it's a time consuming process.

01:29:07.720 They have to work.

01:29:08.460 There's reasons why we have schools.

01:29:10.160 But the idea that we're supposed to fill in everything from, you know, every sexual thought

01:29:16.300 that they might have has to be filled in at school.

01:29:17.300 And whether or not they should be comfortable being invited to a gay bar at 12 years old

01:29:21.100 doesn't have any place at school.

01:29:23.720 No.

01:29:24.380 Zero.

01:29:25.180 That, that is something that could, I mean, first of all, we've outlawed as a society.

01:29:31.060 Bars have a, I mean, I mean, I guess you can go to a bar at Chili's at any age.

01:29:35.960 But, I mean, a lot of states have roles that you can't even sit.

01:29:37.940 I used to work at a Chili's back in the day.

01:29:39.840 And they, where I worked, they, you couldn't sit kids at the bar.

01:29:44.720 Like, you could, they could be at a table and their parents could order drinks.

01:29:47.220 But they couldn't sit at the bar and order food even if they weren't drinking because

01:29:50.500 it was against the law.

01:29:51.960 The idea that you could send a kid into a gay club at 12 years old is, I would say, probably

01:29:57.920 illegal in every single state of the union.

01:30:00.460 I would guess.

01:30:01.380 I would guess it is.

01:30:02.340 So, yes, you should feel uncomfortable with that.

01:30:05.340 I think so.

01:30:06.500 Should you feel uncomfortable with speeding?

01:30:07.980 Yes.

01:30:08.240 It's against the law.

01:30:09.460 Now, whether you do or not is another question.

01:30:12.080 But, really, it's not something we need to investigate at six years old.

01:30:15.440 And neither is forcing them to expand their horizons with friends.

01:30:20.460 That, again, is not a function of the school system.

01:30:24.000 At all.

01:30:24.580 No.

01:30:24.840 It's none of your business who they're hanging out with, frankly.

01:30:27.700 888-727-BECK.

01:30:30.040 More coming up in the same.

01:30:30.920 So, I have a car that's a few years old now.

01:30:33.460 And it's past the initial warranty.

01:30:36.260 And you've got to think about what you're going to do there.

01:30:39.140 Because when you start having these big issues with your car, it can be really expensive.

01:30:44.360 And, honestly, at times can be more expensive than a car payment.

01:30:48.100 You're going to keep a car that's not necessarily brand new.

01:30:51.920 You want to be saving money.

01:30:53.500 That's why you do it.

01:30:54.740 That's why I have an extended vehicle service protection warranty from CarShield.

01:30:59.260 Now, getting covered by CarShield is a great idea.

01:31:02.260 It's affordable protection that can save you thousands of dollars for a covered repair.

01:31:05.540 A new fuel pump, for example, costs over $500.

01:31:08.820 Replacing a water pump is over $1,000.

01:31:11.780 And if you need repairs to control, you know, all the other stuff that goes on, like, they have all these really, really expensive things in your car that I don't understand.

01:31:21.140 My dad worked on cars.

01:31:22.420 So, when I was young, he just fixed them all for me.

01:31:25.540 So, I learned nothing.

01:31:27.280 I know nothing about cars now.

01:31:29.240 I always have to get them fixed by somebody who knows what the hell they're doing.

01:31:32.740 And, luckily, CarShield is there because they can cover you for this stuff.

01:31:36.200 They have plans that even cover your car's computer, GPS, and electronics, and more.

01:31:40.140 CarShield is the ultimate in extended coverage.

01:31:42.060 And they get your favorite mechanic or dealership paid directly.

01:31:45.240 So, you don't have to worry about going to their person.

01:31:47.480 You can go to a person that you trust.

01:31:49.080 Sign up today and you get 24-7 roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is in the shop.

01:31:54.680 Save yourself from high repair bills.

01:31:56.220 Get covered by CarShield, like I did, before something goes wrong.

01:31:59.340 Call 800-CAR-6100 and mention the code BECK or visit carshield.com and use the code BECK to save 10%.

01:32:06.640 It's carshield.com, code BECK.

01:32:08.980 A deductible may apply.

01:32:11.700 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:32:19.080 Glenn Beck.

01:32:21.840 Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:32:23.280 He's out with the flu today.

01:32:24.360 888-727-BECK.

01:32:27.360 Apparently, Trey Gowdy has spoken out on this Rob Porter mess.

01:32:32.520 Yeah.

01:32:33.260 Kind of interesting what he had to say.

01:32:35.080 Here it is.

01:32:36.440 I'm well.

01:32:37.340 Are you troubled by Rob Porter's employment in the White House?

01:32:40.860 Yes, on two levels.

01:32:44.460 Number one's the interim security clearance issue.

01:32:47.620 But even more importantly, I spent two decades believing women and children who alleged abuse,

01:32:54.440 even sometimes when no one else did.

01:32:56.940 So whether or not there's a security clearance at issue or not,

01:33:00.500 I have real questions about how someone like this could be considered for employment,

01:33:04.840 whether there's a security clearance or not.

01:33:06.880 So, yeah, I'm troubled by almost every aspect of this.

01:33:10.440 And so now that we know that, I mean, according to yesterday,

01:33:13.840 Chris Ray's testimony that they told the White House four times,

01:33:16.600 they gave the White House four separate, four different installments of the report,

01:33:21.060 some of them complete, that included the allegations from the ex-wives of violence.

01:33:25.840 So how could he still have a job at the White House?

01:33:27.860 That's a great question and one that I can't answer.

01:33:30.140 I didn't hire him.

01:33:31.240 But who knew what, when, and to what extent?

01:33:34.620 Those are the questions that I think ought to be asked.

01:33:36.940 And Congress has a role to play.

01:33:38.200 But quite frankly, so does the public and so does the media.

01:33:42.320 Who knew what, when, and to what extent?

01:33:44.900 And if you knew it in 2017 and the Bureau briefed him three times,

01:33:49.580 then how in the hell was he still employed?

01:33:52.260 I don't, the security clearance is a separate issue.

01:33:54.680 I mean, it's an important issue, but it's separate.

01:33:56.520 How do you have any job if you have credible allegations of domestic abuse?

01:34:01.140 Again, I am biased towards the victim.

01:34:04.920 I spent two decades believing him.

01:34:07.240 But you don't have to be biased towards the victim to ask,

01:34:10.740 how in the hell did this happen?

01:34:12.360 Wow.

01:34:13.300 I mean, that's not good.

01:34:15.900 Coming from Trey Gowdy, a Republican.

01:34:20.260 Some pretty solid points there.

01:34:24.380 Yeah.

01:34:24.500 How do you, how were you hired in the first place when you did the background check?

01:34:30.160 And you should probably know about it then.

01:34:32.520 Because there's two lines here.

01:34:34.020 The idea that victims should be believed.

01:34:37.440 I mean, and it's a weird statement to come from a guy, a prosecutor, right?

01:34:40.660 Like a guy who is involved in the legal system.

01:34:43.840 Yeah, that's not our justice system, by the way.

01:34:45.500 Our justice system doesn't work like that.

01:34:46.520 Victims should be taken seriously, but not necessarily believed.

01:34:49.900 Yeah.

01:34:50.160 Because it's the opposite.

01:34:51.320 It's the opposite.

01:34:52.400 There should always be skepticism of an allegation.

01:34:55.480 Because we, again, it's innocent until proven guilty.

01:34:58.460 Proven guilty.

01:35:00.220 Now, he's not necessarily talking about the legal standard here, however.

01:35:04.300 And the standard of whether he should be working in the White House is a different one.

01:35:08.720 The standard of what we feel as a generalized public,

01:35:13.520 the court of public opinion, is a much lower standard, right?

01:35:16.400 I mean, we judge things all the time on the left and the right without all the information.

01:35:20.620 But I do think there has to be a process here, some sort of process.

01:35:26.160 It just seems that, like, you know, so far, this does not look good for him.

01:35:30.820 That being said, the fact that Trey Gowdy is out there saying how the hell was this guy employed?

01:35:37.980 I mean, I honestly think there's a good chance this leads to Kelly leaving.

01:35:42.440 Yeah, it seems like it.

01:35:43.400 Kelly, I think, has done a good job since he got in there.

01:35:46.540 He just has not handled this one well.

01:35:49.660 It would be interesting to see why that happened.

01:35:51.700 Because he's obviously not incompetent.

01:35:53.040 There have been people who have handled things in ways that are really incompetent.

01:35:56.440 And you see the people going after him.

01:35:58.160 All the, you know, the Lewandowskis and the Scaramucci's and all of them are going after Kelly.

01:36:02.400 A lot of them have access to grind with him.

01:36:04.440 But I think, generally speaking, he's done a pretty good job for Trump, General Kelly.

01:36:10.320 And he obviously has a really legitimate, you know, backstory and strong resume and history.

01:36:17.360 It just seems like this one's, he did not handle well.

01:36:19.860 Maybe from a personal blindness of really liking this guy and not taking the accusation seriously enough early enough.

01:36:25.600 Seems it's, that's about all it can be.

01:36:27.440 Yeah.

01:36:27.600 And I think, you know, it's not like certainly he's not pro-use.

01:36:30.160 Maybe he believed the guy.

01:36:31.200 Maybe Porter completely denied it.

01:36:33.960 And he's still pretty much denying it.

01:36:36.240 And Kelly believed him.

01:36:37.580 Yeah.

01:36:37.800 And I think that may very well be what happened here.

01:36:40.760 But because it seemed like Trump had soured on him a little bit anyway.

01:36:44.480 Didn't like the control.

01:36:45.940 In addition to that, this did not go well.

01:36:48.880 He's getting hammered in the press.

01:36:50.400 He's doubled down on it.

01:36:51.820 He's changed his timelines.

01:36:53.100 He's not handled this incident well.

01:36:54.500 And I think it may cost him his job.

01:36:55.700 And since Kelly's been in there, he doesn't like that control.

01:36:59.300 But things have been more normal.

01:37:01.720 Pro-rating's up.

01:37:02.460 So it's, yeah, it's too bad.

01:37:13.360 Glenn, back.

01:39:41.960 I am, and we're, uh, together, Pat, on the new show, The News and Why It Matters, airing at 5.30 p.m. tonight.

01:39:47.460 Uh, please.

01:39:48.120 We're reunited, and it feels so good.

01:39:51.100 We're all mediocre.

01:39:52.420 Because we understood.

01:39:54.800 You can ask.

01:39:55.120 There's one perfect thing, and, and, honey, this, this one is it.

01:39:59.320 This is it.

01:39:59.960 You can ask questions, um, why does Pat always quote song lyrics in the middle of normal conversations?

01:40:04.720 You can ask.

01:40:05.200 You can ask that with the hashtag TheBlazeY, W-H-Y, TheBlazeY on Twitter.

01:40:10.680 And I've also enjoyed.

01:40:11.600 So it's not just the letter Y?

01:40:12.480 No, not TheBlazeY.

01:40:13.500 If I use that, it won't get to where it needs to go.

01:40:15.620 You should check TheBlazeY, too, because I think if I was hearing, I'd be like, TheBlaze,

01:40:18.500 and then the letter Y.

01:40:19.960 But no, it's TheBlazeY, W-H-Y.

01:40:22.100 Okay.

01:40:22.180 I've also really enjoyed, uh, seeing, uh, getting my Jeffy fix on, uh, the Doc Thompson program.

01:40:27.560 Morning Blaze.

01:40:28.260 Morning Blaze.

01:40:28.960 You seem to be featured prominently.

01:40:30.520 You know, I come in for a couple of days, Doc.

01:40:32.320 You know, look, Doc needs to be propped up a couple of days a week.

01:40:34.760 Okay.

01:40:35.020 So I'm happy to help.

01:40:36.000 That's been great hearing you there.

01:40:37.360 It has been fun.

01:40:38.020 It's been awesome.

01:40:38.860 Uh, we, uh, wanted to bring you in here, because this is the segment that Pat normally

01:40:41.660 comes on and appears on the program.

01:40:43.180 Uh, we wanted to bring Jeffy in, because we had a story that we thought might relate

01:40:47.240 to you, and, and, uh...

01:40:50.100 It's not the story of, uh, of, uh, we're talking, you guys were talking about bars with Pat

01:40:54.980 Gray?

01:40:55.420 No.

01:40:55.840 Going to bars with Pat Gray?

01:40:57.660 Or is anyone in tune with the, uh, with the nightlife situation around town?

01:41:01.700 It's Pat Gray.

01:41:01.900 Just because I'm such a bar fly?

01:41:03.480 Yeah.

01:41:03.680 Is that your problem?

01:41:04.480 One of the few people that think you go to a bar for a relationship?

01:41:10.900 Yeah.

01:41:13.020 Like, he legitimately thinks that's nuts.

01:41:15.380 You, I mean, you never cease to amaze.

01:41:18.300 No.

01:41:18.900 You know?

01:41:19.320 That's great.

01:41:20.160 That's great.

01:41:20.700 The New York Times, as an op-ed from Ross Duton, who is kind of the conservative, one

01:41:26.160 of the conservative columnists at the New York Times.

01:41:28.580 I would say their, their biggest, you know, highest profile conservative columnist at the

01:41:32.720 New York Times.

01:41:33.120 And he makes the argument, let's ban porn.

01:41:38.620 That's a tough argument to make.

01:41:40.500 For you, in particular.

01:41:42.140 Now, here's part of his, his, his argument.

01:41:44.500 And it's interesting, because I think this is one of those, it's a debate that used to

01:41:47.380 happen a lot, I'd say, in the 80s and 90s, was, was on the table, right?

01:41:50.980 And it has not been talked about for a while.

01:41:52.720 I think it's an interesting thing to bring back up and, and argue.

01:41:55.080 And let, let me at least give you this case here, Jeff, and you tell me, um, what part of

01:41:59.280 it you oppose, because we all know you're going to oppose it.

01:42:01.200 At one time, uh, the surrender to porn was not inevitable.

01:42:05.860 It was only a generation ago, uh, that the unlikely alliance of feminists and religious

01:42:10.280 conservatives made the regulation of pornography a live political debate.

01:42:13.500 But between the individualistic drift of society, the invention of the internet, uh, and, uh,

01:42:19.700 the predictions that porn, the failed predictions that porn would release, lead to rising rates

01:42:24.460 of rape, the anti-porn case was marginalized.

01:42:27.600 Um, you know, it kind of goes into the Me Too part of this.

01:42:30.980 Wouldn't this be good?

01:42:32.240 Is the argument.

01:42:33.280 In many of the Me Too complaints, you see a kind of female revulsion, not against Harvey

01:42:37.040 Weinstein-style predators, but against the very sort of male personality that a pornographic

01:42:42.460 education seems to produce.

01:42:44.360 A breed at once entitled and resentful, angry and under-motivated, shaped by unprecedented

01:42:49.700 possibilities for sexual gratification, and frustrated that real women are less available

01:42:54.420 and more complicated than the version we see on the screen.

01:42:57.160 He must be looking at different porn than me.

01:42:59.220 I don't think that he's saying he looks at porn, Jeffy.

01:43:03.460 I think you're misunderstanding.

01:43:04.940 So if you want better men by any standard, there is every reason to regard ubiquitous pornography

01:43:09.880 as an obstacle and to suspect that between virtual reality and creepy forms of customization,

01:43:16.420 its influence is only going to get worse.

01:43:18.260 And we're talking about stuff like, you know, there's this new stuff with artificial intelligence

01:43:22.640 where you can put, actresses are putting, they're getting their face put on porn videos

01:43:27.780 so it looks like you're watching Scarlett Johansson in a porn film.

01:43:31.560 And Glenn brought this up the other day, which is, it's going to get weirder than that.

01:43:35.060 Glenn's, of course, always ahead on this technology stuff.

01:43:37.220 He reads it all the time.

01:43:38.360 That it's going to be the woman in your office that you want to ask out and you're too nervous

01:43:42.460 to.

01:43:42.760 You can now put her face in a porn video.

01:43:45.320 Then you'll never have to ask her out.

01:43:46.600 How creepy would that be?

01:43:48.080 Very, very creepy.

01:43:49.640 Jeffy, did you want to comment on that?

01:43:51.520 I'm just saying that I am aware of the fake porn shots.

01:43:55.180 Yes, the fake porn movies, films, whatever you want to call them.

01:43:59.340 Many of the big sites have banned it.

01:44:03.040 That's true.

01:44:03.700 They're not taking it.

01:44:04.860 Now, you can still find it, but as soon as they're aware, they pull it.

01:44:07.720 Well, I mean, they've got credibility, right?

01:44:10.540 Thank you.

01:44:12.300 Thank you.

01:44:13.360 You don't want to question the credibility of one of the big porn sites.

01:44:17.920 No, you do not.

01:44:19.080 Far be it from us.

01:44:20.040 I find it interesting that we're discussing banning porn on a show that is so concerned

01:44:26.680 with love.

01:44:28.980 Couples loving, caring for each other.

01:44:31.620 I'm sorry.

01:44:32.180 Love and porn have no relationship to whatever.

01:44:34.900 Not at all.

01:44:35.760 No.

01:44:36.160 Not at all.

01:44:37.540 I don't know about that.

01:44:38.780 Let me ask two legitimate, honest questions for you, Jeffy, Pat.

01:44:43.720 A, should we ban porn?

01:44:47.400 B, could you ban porn?

01:44:50.340 Is there any legitimate way to actually make it happen if you wanted to make it happen?

01:44:54.300 No.

01:44:55.200 I'll answer first.

01:44:56.360 I mean, I know Pat's answer is going to be, well, you know, we probably should, although

01:44:59.940 no.

01:45:01.600 And I don't think we ever could.

01:45:03.620 I mean, it's been around forever, right?

01:45:05.580 I mean, forever, men and women have wanted to look at each other.

01:45:14.020 To push back on that point a little bit, because I would be with you in that I don't think

01:45:16.920 it should be banned, because, you know, I don't think you could do that.

01:45:22.040 My personal opinion is much more libertarian.

01:45:25.260 It's really bad.

01:45:26.080 It's super harmful to society.

01:45:27.500 But you've got the First Amendment going, and you can't, they'll scream First Amendment.

01:45:32.580 They will.

01:45:33.500 You know, is that the right thing to scream, though?

01:45:35.140 It probably is, even though for vices like this, I don't think that's what the founders

01:45:41.980 intended on protecting.

01:45:44.500 But, you know, at this point, it does protect that, and it'd be really hard to overcome that.

01:45:50.960 Would I like to see it banned?

01:45:52.140 Would I like there to be not any porn?

01:45:54.300 Yes.

01:45:54.700 I think that'd be great.

01:45:55.560 I think it'd be helpful to society.

01:45:57.800 And I guess the line here...

01:45:58.660 But I don't think we'll ever...

01:45:59.220 We've gone too far.

01:46:00.360 And who decides what's porn?

01:46:03.080 Oh, God.

01:46:03.660 You know it when you see it, is the way they always say.

01:46:08.000 You can't, right?

01:46:08.880 That's going to be...

01:46:09.660 There's going to be lines on that.

01:46:10.640 But I think the argument here is, and I think the argument Ross is making, and he's made

01:46:14.240 it on Twitter as well, as they've gone back and he's had some arguments with libertarians

01:46:17.320 since about this.

01:46:18.520 And his point is, I guess, not necessarily a full-out ban.

01:46:20.620 You're not going to stop people from seeing these things, right?

01:46:22.900 But if you remember how it was, let's say in the 80s, right?

01:46:26.860 You'd have to go to a store staffed by someone like Jeffy to purchase a tape.

01:46:33.380 You have to park in the parking lot.

01:46:34.860 You remember that?

01:46:35.660 The curtains.

01:46:36.200 The beads, the curtains, the whatever.

01:46:38.220 You had to cross that line.

01:46:40.100 And you had to make a decision that I'm going to be the guy who walks through those beads

01:46:45.660 or that curtain and everybody's going to see you.

01:46:47.740 Right.

01:46:48.320 Difficult decision.

01:46:49.860 Right.

01:46:50.060 But I mean, again, granted for people like you, it isn't.

01:46:54.260 But most people didn't.

01:46:55.440 Even now.

01:46:55.860 Most people didn't.

01:46:56.740 Even now.

01:46:57.260 Right.

01:46:57.740 If you took it off, if porn was completely available, but just not a computer.

01:47:01.300 It's too easy now.

01:47:01.700 People wouldn't bother doing it.

01:47:03.200 Right.

01:47:03.340 Because I think there's a line of the Jeffy side of life, right?

01:47:07.920 Where people are going to walk through any wall, whether it's beaded or if it's concrete,

01:47:12.320 to get to their porn.

01:47:13.420 Yeah.

01:47:13.600 Right.

01:47:13.740 We know those people exist.

01:47:15.060 Yeah.

01:47:15.260 But there's also a large portion of society who didn't interact with porn back in those

01:47:22.300 days who does now.

01:47:24.020 It's far easier, far more ubiquitous.

01:47:26.940 Well, because you're able to just, I mean, it's in your living room.

01:47:29.660 Right.

01:47:30.280 But I don't think you could ban it from.

01:47:32.840 It's in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

01:47:34.420 Yeah.

01:47:34.920 It's one of those things, though.

01:47:35.900 That's what makes it such a big problem.

01:47:37.720 I've made this point with Bitcoin before.

01:47:39.120 Like, if governments came out and banned Bitcoin, the Bitcoin people say, you can't ban Bitcoin

01:47:45.440 because it's the governments can't stop it.

01:47:47.520 And that's true.

01:47:48.460 You can't stop it.

01:47:50.380 However, a guy like me who is interested in cryptocurrency because I think it's an interesting

01:47:57.840 topic and I like following it.

01:48:00.040 But I'm not, if it's illegal in the country, I'm not walking through the walls of illegality

01:48:04.560 to get to it.

01:48:05.480 And I think most people are in that, if you had to go to BitTorrent to get porn, that

01:48:10.400 was the only way you could get it by some crazy, shady 4chan, whatever.

01:48:15.120 I don't know what these things are.

01:48:16.560 But like, there's some shady way of getting it.

01:48:18.800 The average person probably isn't walking through that wall.

01:48:20.840 No, they're not.

01:48:21.640 They're not going through it.

01:48:22.160 You could probably cut back, if you quote unquote banned it, you could cut back probably

01:48:25.960 by 50%, 60% of people using it.

01:48:28.340 It is bad, right?

01:48:29.300 I mean, it's supposed to be just for adults.

01:48:30.960 I mean, I realize that we're, you know, we've made it easy to access and anyone can see

01:48:37.160 it.

01:48:37.380 But it is for adults, right?

01:48:39.280 It is illegal for children to possess it.

01:48:42.220 And of course, they still do.

01:48:43.160 They still do.

01:48:43.940 I understand.

01:48:44.620 So let's say we do ban it, right?

01:48:46.900 What?

01:48:47.720 I mean, still going to be, you know, behind, somebody's going to have it.

01:48:51.920 Somebody's going to find a way to go to crypto porn and then bring it outside of crypto porn

01:48:57.660 and say, hey, they've already started that.

01:48:59.120 I've got some porn over here for you.

01:49:00.800 But again, it would be harder, right?

01:49:03.060 It would be more difficult.

01:49:04.320 It would be harder to get rich off of it, right?

01:49:06.620 If you were, you wanted to go into the porn business, and I know this is something you've

01:49:10.300 considered in the past, Jeffy.

01:49:12.520 If you wanted to go into this business, it would be harder to make your millions, right?

01:49:16.060 Yes.

01:49:16.520 It would be because you'd have to jump, have everyone jumping through these hoops.

01:49:20.080 Again, I don't support this, but it's an interesting argument.

01:49:23.900 Let me, let me see if I can sell you on this one though.

01:49:26.280 Okay.

01:49:26.480 Do you remember Melissa King, Miss Delaware Teen USA, back in 2012?

01:49:35.380 Apparently, she had a wonderful birthday, her 18th, and then went on a little trip to

01:49:41.960 a hotel room in which she filmed a film.

01:49:46.500 Was she there to make a star?

01:49:47.960 Was this from, remember the porn documentary that we watched?

01:49:50.640 Yes.

01:49:51.160 How to become a porn star or whatever, same kind of thing?

01:49:53.480 Right, this is the one that's on Netflix.

01:49:54.240 Yeah, it's a similar situation.

01:49:56.200 She goes, she makes a porn video.

01:49:58.240 She gets paid $1,500.

01:50:00.440 I think a year or two later, she wins Miss Delaware Teen USA.

01:50:04.900 Eventually, she gets her title stripped because they find out she had been making porn.

01:50:10.040 This is a, Washington Post asked this question back at the time, which is an interesting one.

01:50:14.980 Is 18 the appropriate age to be making decisions to get into porn?

01:50:21.420 Look, even if you want it to be legal and you think adults, consenting adults can do what

01:50:25.320 they want to do.

01:50:25.860 Should it at least be 21?

01:50:27.020 Should it at least be the age where you can go buy a drink in a bar?

01:50:30.020 Yes.

01:50:30.400 Where you can be asked to go to a gay bar with your friend?

01:50:33.400 Yes.

01:50:33.760 And go.

01:50:34.640 Should it be raised from 18 to 21?

01:50:36.780 Jeff Fisher.

01:50:41.040 I mean, I'll give you, it should be what we deem an adult.

01:50:45.660 And in many places, 18, we deem an adult, right?

01:50:48.100 Right.

01:50:48.320 I mean, you can vote at 18.

01:50:50.080 And so, you know, I'm for keeping it at 18.

01:50:52.840 Deeming them an adult, you're an adult at 18.

01:50:54.940 Look how nervous.

01:50:55.900 Why do you look so nervous?

01:50:57.840 He's just screwing around.

01:50:58.760 But still, it's an interesting question.

01:51:00.300 Because, I mean, 18 years old, you could be in high school, right?

01:51:03.920 Sometimes.

01:51:04.460 Yeah, sometimes, yeah.

01:51:05.180 You'd be a senior.

01:51:06.100 I mean, that seems to be a questionable line for this particular behavior.

01:51:12.660 But, you know, again, in today's world, and, you know, I'm using today's world as an

01:51:17.840 example, not that it should be put any more weight on it.

01:51:21.360 But, I mean, those youngsters, I mean, they're taking shots of each other all the time and

01:51:28.700 themselves and trying to show themselves off all the time.

01:51:31.760 Oh, it's a bad, it's really bad.

01:51:33.180 It's a bad development, man.

01:51:34.700 It's there, though.

01:51:35.420 Because you make dumb decisions when you're 18 years old.

01:51:37.480 I know you do.

01:51:38.100 You vote for Barack Obama.

01:51:39.700 You make dumb decisions when you're 18 years old.

01:51:42.160 Mm-hmm.

01:51:42.920 And you wind up regretting them later on.

01:51:44.860 Well, let's look at the voting age, for instance.

01:51:47.220 That should be raised to 35.

01:51:48.620 This is a legitimate point by Pat.

01:51:50.920 I know you've been a proponent of that for a while.

01:51:53.080 Yes, that's a Pat Gray point.

01:51:54.540 The voting age should be raised to 35.

01:51:56.780 If you can't be president, you shouldn't vote for president, is essentially your point.

01:52:00.340 Yes.

01:52:01.400 There's a constitutional...

01:52:02.600 I'm actually okay with that particular law, voting at 35, but not as an adult.

01:52:07.840 Ooh, you want to kill the porn business.

01:52:11.180 All right.

01:52:11.700 We'll leave it there, as you might expect we would.

01:52:16.080 Jeffy, thank you so much for coming on.

01:52:17.340 By the way, people get your podcast online.

01:52:19.340 It's good to see you.

01:52:20.260 Yeah, absolutely.

01:52:21.000 Talking Walking Dead back up and running next week, baby.

01:52:22.800 Are you still doing that?

01:52:23.700 Because Walking Dead is back in less than two weeks.

01:52:26.280 Wow.

01:52:26.600 That's a big one.

01:52:27.280 Jeffy, you're one of the biggest podcasters there is about Walking Dead.

01:52:30.240 And I don't mean that just in the wait point.

01:52:33.360 It's also...

01:52:33.860 Mostly in the wait, but there's...

01:52:34.960 That's a huge listenership.

01:52:36.620 I mean, to the point that Jeffy gets like...

01:52:38.040 You just keep going with the huge, right?

01:52:38.680 No, well, I walked myself into it, and I had to finish it.

01:52:41.320 But I will say, like, Walking Dead sends Jeffy all these ridiculous props for the show.

01:52:46.720 And I appreciate it.

01:52:47.440 And I still couldn't be a walker.

01:52:49.200 No.

01:52:49.580 Because you're...

01:52:49.980 Well, again, over...

01:52:51.280 Right?

01:52:52.140 All right.

01:52:53.400 Thank you, Jeffy.

01:52:54.300 This F Hour brought to you by SimpliSafe, the home security company we've talked about

01:52:58.280 for a really long time.

01:52:59.580 We have this system.

01:53:01.380 It is a really cool thing.

01:53:02.820 They have this...

01:53:03.440 They have a brand new home security system now.

01:53:05.480 The all-new SimpliSafe system has been completely rebuilt and redesigned.

01:53:10.140 They've added new safeguards to protect against power outages, downed Wi-Fi, cut landlines,

01:53:15.620 bats, hammers, everything in between.

01:53:18.100 They've really made this all-encompassing now.

01:53:21.060 The all-new SimpliSafe was redesigned to be basically invisible.

01:53:23.860 You don't have to...

01:53:24.340 It's not one of these things where you sign up and they come in, they drill holes in your

01:53:28.100 house, and you have to redo all this rewiring.

01:53:30.940 That's not how this works.

01:53:32.300 SimpliSafe spent years building this system.

01:53:34.420 They've added a ton, and you can get the same fair and honest price that they've had for

01:53:37.780 a long time.

01:53:38.440 24-7 protection for only 15 bucks a month, and there's no contract.

01:53:41.840 It's smaller, it's faster, it's stronger than anything they've built before.

01:53:45.040 The supply is limited.

01:53:57.540 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:54:00.840 Glenn Beck.

01:54:06.380 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's under the weather today.

01:54:09.520 888-727-BECK.

01:54:11.420 We've had the announcement now that there will be an announcement tomorrow on Mitt Romney's

01:54:20.260 candidacy for the Senate seat that Orrin Hatch will vacate in November.

01:54:24.100 Yes, he's running.

01:54:25.060 That's the announcement.

01:54:26.040 Yeah, he's running.

01:54:27.180 He's running.

01:54:27.860 He's announced that he's going to announce that he's running.

01:54:30.040 Right.

01:54:30.400 Tomorrow, he will announce that he's running.

01:54:32.540 Right now, he's just announced that he's announcing that he's running.

01:54:35.620 And that's an important distinction.

01:54:36.140 Which is a completely different thing.

01:54:37.880 Totally different thing.

01:54:38.740 Don't even confuse the two.

01:54:39.900 It does seem like this is actually happening.

01:54:41.900 Romney is going to announce tomorrow.

01:54:43.420 I mean, he's going to waltz into that seat.

01:54:45.840 He'll win, what, 75, 80% of the vote?

01:54:47.100 I would think so, yeah.

01:54:48.040 Easy.

01:54:48.640 Pretty easily.

01:54:49.560 Easily.

01:54:50.220 So that's not going to be difficult.

01:54:51.980 Also, Elizabeth Warren, who we think might be running in 2020, has-

01:54:57.040 She's so bad.

01:54:57.900 I hope she does.

01:54:58.620 I hope she does.

01:54:59.060 She can't win.

01:54:59.280 She's terrible.

01:55:00.080 Can't win.

01:55:00.500 She's appeared in front of a group of Native Americans to address, apparently, her Native

01:55:05.820 American controversy.

01:55:06.820 To admit that she's not?

01:55:08.420 No.

01:55:08.920 I think it was more of a-

01:55:10.800 It's just, she's trying to find a way out of it.

01:55:12.440 Which is dumb.

01:55:13.020 Because, honestly, if she was honest about this from the beginning, it wouldn't have

01:55:16.720 been an issue.

01:55:17.300 It wouldn't have.

01:55:17.820 No.

01:55:18.240 You're right.

01:55:18.720 If she would have said, look, I mean, my parents told me that I had this heritage.

01:55:22.440 I didn't question it.

01:55:23.900 Right.

01:55:24.260 And maybe I don't.

01:55:25.540 I don't know.

01:55:26.220 I mean, that's what's happening.

01:55:27.020 I mean, my grandma always said that I was, we have a Swedish background and also Italian

01:55:32.160 on my mom's side.

01:55:33.000 Have you ever looked into it?

01:55:33.800 I've never looked into it.

01:55:34.840 I don't know that it's true.

01:55:36.280 It's possible they were just lying to me for some reason.

01:55:38.620 I don't know, right?

01:55:39.520 Yeah.

01:55:39.820 And so, you know, why she shouldn't just said at the beginning, look, we had elements

01:55:46.720 of the heritage around our house.

01:55:48.680 My mom always told me that.

01:55:49.740 I never checked into it.

01:55:50.860 But I mean, if it's not true, I'm not trying to get an unfair advantage.

01:55:53.480 It's just, you know, hey, if it's not true, it's not true.

01:55:55.760 I still respect the heritage and we grew up enjoying it.

01:55:57.740 It would have been no big deal.

01:55:58.800 It would have not have been a big deal.

01:55:59.840 I don't know why people can't just handle things like that.

01:56:01.620 I don't know.

01:56:02.640 Stop lying all the time.

01:56:03.180 Yeah.

01:56:03.760 Just tell the truth.

01:56:04.460 Good safety tip.

01:56:05.160 Hmm.

01:56:16.080 Glenn.

01:56:17.160 Back.

01:56:18.080 Mercury.

01:56:20.860 Church thing.
