The Glenn Beck Program - 2⧸5⧸18 - 'Self-Hating Egomaniacs'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:00:04.220 On Demand.

00:00:20.180 Love.

00:00:22.000 Courage.

00:00:23.720 Truth.

00:00:25.540 Glenn Beck.

00:00:30.000 Well, the FISA memo bomb has been dropped.

00:00:38.140 It's pretty much confirmed everything the Republicans have been talking about in interviews for the last two weeks.

00:00:43.360 I don't think there was really anything new.

00:00:45.120 There was just Republican confirmation on what we already knew.

00:00:50.560 Is that why the information was a little, I don't know, a little underwhelming?

00:00:56.400 It was billed as a memo full of classified information.

00:00:59.160 And I honestly tried to, I struggled to find anything that could be considered damaging to national security.

00:01:06.780 Well, what happened there?

00:01:10.040 That makes the Democrats, the FBI, DOJ look kind of ridiculous trying to block its release.

00:01:15.060 Why were they trying to block it?

00:01:16.580 What was in that memo that was so damaging that people could lose their lives?

00:01:20.840 It also makes the Republicans look a little bit ridiculous, I think, in the buildup and the hype that led to Friday's release.

00:01:28.860 Don't get me wrong.

00:01:30.040 The information is really interesting.

00:01:33.000 Really interesting.

00:01:34.140 And if proven correct, it shows that there is corruption in the United States.

00:01:39.940 The GOP is accusing the FBI and the DOJ of lying to the FISA court in order to get a warrant for former Trump advisor Carter Page.

00:01:51.220 Carter Page is somebody that we've been looking at for quite a while ourselves.

00:01:55.140 The FBI was looking into Carter Page long before anybody else was.

00:01:58.840 They claimed that the Steele dossier was listed in the initial FISA application, but the roles of Fusion GPS and the DNC and the Clinton campaign were never mentioned.

00:02:10.580 That is the problem.

00:02:13.340 And here's why.

00:02:14.280 If it is true, then the FBI and DOJ were knowingly trying to pass off partisan opposition research as actual intelligence, and they hid the truth from the court.

00:02:28.300 Not once, but four times.

00:02:30.360 They would later include things like a report from Michael Isikoff.

00:02:34.560 Isikoff said he was shocked that his reporting was used as something to bolster the FBI and DOJ's case in the FISA court because he was only reporting on what was already out there.

00:02:49.680 He was reporting on the dossier.

00:02:52.020 This wasn't new reporting.

00:02:53.520 This wasn't a secondary source.

00:02:56.640 Was that the way that it was presented to the FISA court?

00:03:00.420 If so, that's a very big deal.

00:03:06.580 It looks really bad.

00:03:09.100 However, it's only half the story, and we're not going to get the other half from the Democrats.

00:03:13.880 The Democrats have already written their own rebuttal memo, and they are expected to vote on that later this week and release it.

00:03:22.120 I think if they release it later this week, they're going to vote, I think, today.

00:03:25.180 We can also expect to hear from the FBI and the DOJ at some point as well.

00:03:31.740 It's the Great Memo Wars of 2018.

00:03:36.440 When is this going to end?

00:03:38.920 I don't care what somebody wrote in a memo to make their side look good.

00:03:42.440 I really don't care.

00:03:43.820 I want the facts.

00:03:46.800 Transparency is the answer.

00:03:49.660 Not more memos.

00:03:51.600 Transparency.

00:03:52.040 If we want to know, because this is what this is all about, what did they say to the secret court to be able to get the warrant?

00:04:05.240 If they didn't tell that this was opposition research and that Michael Isikoff's reporting was not confirmation or a second source, it was an article on the dossier.

00:04:19.440 If they didn't say where the money came from, the Fusion GPS connection to Russia, the FBI's connection to Fusion GPS through its own agents, and the agents, their spouses, connected to Fusion GPS and connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

00:04:46.140 It's a real mess.

00:04:47.760 If they didn't reveal all of that to FISA, then there's a massive problem with the Obama, DOJ, and FBI.

00:05:00.820 It's Monday, February 5th.

00:05:12.420 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:05:15.220 Now, here's what's hard.

00:05:17.560 It doesn't matter.

00:05:19.560 It doesn't matter to the Russian part of this investigation.

00:05:27.600 If the FBI was investigating Carter Page in advance, which I believe they were, if he went over and did things that he shouldn't have done, we have to know that.

00:05:43.480 And it really has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

00:05:47.200 They were investigating him before Donald Trump.

00:05:50.040 They were looking into his connections because he was being recruited by the Russians.

00:05:53.680 He's a dope.

00:05:54.660 So, who was he meeting with?

00:05:58.300 What was he saying?

00:06:00.480 We have to know that.

00:06:03.200 We also have to know the connections with Uranium One and all of the billions of dollars that came in from Rosatom to our congressmen, our senators, and our Department of State.

00:06:21.080 What was the connection between Russia and the Clintons?

00:06:30.560 They clearly tried to recruit or befriend the Trump administration.

00:06:40.120 We know that.

00:06:41.440 It didn't happen.

00:06:43.040 And it didn't happen because they didn't have the goods.

00:06:45.980 We all also know that if in that meeting they would have had the goods on Hillary Clinton, they would have taken them.

00:06:55.460 Just as fast as the DNC took the stuff from Christopher Steele, they would have taken it.

00:07:01.700 That's the problem.

00:07:03.700 The problem is everybody would have done it if they could have.

00:07:09.740 So, you can't arrest people for what they didn't do, what they would have done.

00:07:20.540 That's not a crime.

00:07:23.540 You have to go after the source, and the source is Russia.

00:07:28.100 Tomorrow, I'm going to start a chalkboard that I think we're going to, I think we might even have to go back in time and look at Russia again and show you exactly what their intent was.

00:07:47.360 And it had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

00:07:50.720 They would have done it if it was Ted Cruz.

00:07:52.680 They were doing everything they can to make sure that we don't have confidence in the system, that our confidence in the voting system was destroyed.

00:08:09.260 Our confidence in the two-party system was destroyed.

00:08:13.060 And when I say the two-party system, why do you think that, instead of calling it Wikipedia, or I mean WikiLeaks, I'll just refer to it as Russia.

00:08:26.760 Why do you think Russia released the information about the DNC and what they did with Bernie Sanders?

00:08:36.020 Why do you think they did that?

00:08:36.980 They did that because they needed to break up the coalition in the DNC and not to get Donald Trump to win.

00:08:48.180 They broke that coalition because they needed the infighting that the press is refusing to cover right now, which is a huge story.

00:08:57.100 They needed the press, or I'm sorry, they needed the Democrats to turn on each other.

00:09:04.960 They need the Republicans to turn on each other.

00:09:08.240 And then those four or eight or how many groups that breaks into, they all fight with each other.

00:09:14.000 That's what they want.

00:09:16.880 Every bit of chaos that they could sow, they've sown.

00:09:20.700 And we're ignoring it.

00:09:25.500 It's really, you've got a brain tumor.

00:09:29.260 And the doctor just keeps giving you, first it's aspirin, then it's Tylenol, then it's Tylenol-3, then it's Percocet, then it's a fentanyl patch.

00:09:37.080 For the love of Pete, man, what's the problem?

00:09:40.860 What's giving me the severe migraines?

00:09:44.600 Oh, I don't know.

00:09:45.160 It's a giant grapefruit tumor in the middle of your head.

00:09:48.480 Russia is the tumor.

00:09:53.020 These memos and everything else, that's...

00:09:58.140 That's fentanyl.

00:10:03.620 And if you've ever had fentanyl before, you know how spooky that stuff is.

00:10:08.600 And it says right on the box.

00:10:10.700 Or it used to.

00:10:11.680 Maybe it doesn't anymore.

00:10:13.560 Somebody who has fentanyl, call me up.

00:10:16.400 Tell me if the box still says this.

00:10:19.060 Ten years ago, the box on fentanyl, which is a little patch that is...

00:10:23.260 This is...

00:10:24.240 I mean, it's a great blessing.

00:10:26.140 If you're in pain, it's a great blessing.

00:10:29.920 But if you're in pain and you take it, it's also a great curse.

00:10:34.780 Because the clock on you begins to tick.

00:10:38.700 It says on the box, or it used to, for end-of-life use only.

00:10:45.780 It's when they just want you out of pain.

00:10:48.300 You just want to be out of pain.

00:10:49.780 And you're going to die anyway.

00:10:51.160 Honestly, we're so far beyond...

00:10:56.940 Do you realize...

00:10:58.160 We're going to talk about this later.

00:11:01.860 Do you realize that our spending...

00:11:04.160 I'm sorry, our borrowing this year...

00:11:08.160 Do you know how much we're going to borrow as a country?

00:11:10.640 I want to tell you this.

00:11:14.700 I want you to think about that.

00:11:16.600 In 2008, we had about $800 billion in circulation globally.

00:11:25.600 So all of the cash.

00:11:26.740 If you took every dollar, every dime, every penny, every quarter, every $100 bill,

00:11:31.360 and you put it all in a pile, and you started adding it up, all of it up,

00:11:35.600 we had about between $800 and $900 billion in cash globally.

00:11:42.480 This year, to keep our government running, we are going to borrow $1 trillion.

00:11:50.060 We're going to borrow $1 trillion to give you some indication on if that's a big deal or not.

00:11:59.100 That's an 84% increase from last year.

00:12:06.840 Anything that takes our eye off the ball of limited government, of reducing spending,

00:12:16.100 of giving money to the people...

00:12:20.120 No, I'm sorry.

00:12:20.640 Let me rephrase that.

00:12:21.660 Letting people keep their money and not taking it from them.

00:12:28.740 Being able to guarantee some sort of transparency.

00:12:35.800 Restoring the credibility of any institution that has lost its credibility,

00:12:43.080 and that's really everything.

00:12:44.840 I mean, all the way to the bakery.

00:12:46.040 You know, the baker might hate people.

00:12:51.600 Anything that has us take our eye off the ball

00:12:55.640 is a refusal on our part to look at what is causing the headaches.

00:13:04.240 It's a tumor.

00:13:07.120 And the press is doing nothing but putting a fentanyl patch on our arms.

00:13:13.160 It's for end-of-life use only.

00:13:17.860 All right, I want to tell you about a great night's sleep you're going to have

00:13:43.540 the minute you have a Casper mattress in your home.

00:13:47.060 I have a Casper in my house, and I have great night's sleep.

00:13:52.080 Casper has a...

00:13:53.340 It's a combination of foams that they pioneered.

00:13:58.620 If you've ever had a foam mattress, oh my gosh, they suck.

00:14:01.580 Maybe it's just me, but I...

00:14:03.420 You're on fire.

00:14:05.520 Like, halfway through the night, you could drown in your own sweat,

00:14:09.960 and it feels like that bed has just become a sponge.

00:14:14.020 The good thing is, it's so damn hot, the water evaporates.

00:14:18.800 This is breathable material, so you're guaranteed to sleep cool.

00:14:22.220 Plus, the mattresses are built to last years.

00:14:25.840 This is a new product that they pioneered.

00:14:29.960 Casper, you need a good night's sleep?

00:14:33.180 Just try it.

00:14:34.580 They'll ship it to you in a box, a little teeny compact box for free.

00:14:38.420 You just open up the box.

00:14:39.960 I warn you, open that plastic part of that.

00:14:43.500 Cut that plastic off where you want the mattress,

00:14:46.500 because it's going to come out, and all of a sudden there's a mattress.

00:14:48.980 Now, you sleep on that thing, and if you don't love it,

00:14:52.220 you don't have to put it back in the tiny box.

00:14:53.960 They'll come and refund every single penny, no questions asked.

00:14:58.520 They pick it up for free.

00:15:00.160 They know it's a better way to try a bed by sleeping on it for a week or two,

00:15:04.740 or 100 nights, a third of the year, than it is to go to a store.

00:15:08.920 That's why they don't sell them in stores,

00:15:10.200 and that is also why you can get this Casper mattress at such an unbelievable price.

00:15:14.840 Try yours now at 100 nights for your own home, free.

00:15:18.160 Free shipping, free returns.

00:15:21.040 All you have to do is just order it.

00:15:23.740 They'll ship it.

00:15:24.420 If you don't love it, everything's returned.

00:15:39.760 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:15:45.580 Glenn Beck.

00:15:46.500 There's some really disturbing things that are happening over in Europe

00:15:50.760 that are, I believe, at this time, being orchestrated by Russia,

00:15:58.200 and it's here as well, and we'll have to talk about that coming up.

00:16:04.260 I just want to go into this memo just a little bit more about Jason Batrillion,

00:16:07.700 and Jason is our head researcher, and we've been going over the Russia stuff and following

00:16:16.020 the Uranium One and the Russia connection there.

00:16:20.340 Also, long before Donald Trump was even a nominee, even stepping in and saying he wanted

00:16:28.460 to run before he was a candidate, we were talking about Russia and what they were going to try

00:16:32.160 to do during this election.

00:16:33.760 They've done it.

00:16:35.100 One of the names that came up, and for the life of me, Jason, I can't remember why.

00:16:40.140 Why did we first start talking about Carter Page?

00:16:42.540 Because we were on Carter Page before he joined the Trump campaign,

00:16:48.360 and I think even before the campaign itself.

00:16:51.580 Yeah, there was that weird string of, I want to say it was like around 2008, 2009-ish,

00:16:57.080 something like that, of heavy Russian espionage and influence.

00:17:04.980 It was just all of a sudden it just came out of nowhere.

00:17:06.700 Yeah.

00:17:06.840 And there was the whole thing with Anna Chapman and that huge bring that the FBI busted up,

00:17:12.620 and then there was this strange story of these Russians that were trying to get close to Wall

00:17:19.760 Street, and they were doing everything they could to try and infiltrate think tanks and

00:17:24.840 other people that were surrounding our financial institutions and structures.

00:17:29.080 Actually, some pretty scary stuff.

00:17:30.420 Well, during that time, the FBI got, through human intelligence sources and also surveillance,

00:17:38.220 they'd come across these Russians that were talking back and forth to each other about this

00:17:42.360 quote-unquote idiot, Carter Page.

00:17:45.060 Right.

00:17:45.720 And apparently Carter Page, he's, I don't know, the more you look at him,

00:17:50.700 he just seems like a guy that just wants to be liked so well.

00:17:54.160 He goes to Moscow, and he was an investment banker or something like that

00:18:00.200 with some energy companies over there, and everyone that people, every time people talked

00:18:04.180 about him, he was just the guy that, you know, just wanted everyone to think that he was a

00:18:08.520 little bit more than he was.

00:18:09.880 And he was doing everything.

00:18:10.900 He wanted to be somebody.

00:18:12.000 He wanted to be somebody.

00:18:12.820 He wanted to have influence.

00:18:13.920 So him saying that, yeah, I'm connected to Trump actually made sense because he just,

00:18:17.860 he used those types of connections to try and appear to be more than he was.

00:18:21.720 Well, he was just got onto the, he was on the FBI's radar when these two Russians were talking

00:18:27.880 about him, and they were like, yeah, we're trying to get into, you know, this company,

00:18:31.360 and we're like talking to this guy, Carter Page, and he, you know, basically doesn't know

00:18:36.400 what he's talking about.

00:18:37.180 It's a dead end.

00:18:38.420 Well, those were SVR, the equivalent to our CIA.

00:18:42.420 That was Russia's, you know, foreign intelligence service.

00:18:46.120 And what they were saying when they say he's a dead end is he was, he was all talk.

00:18:50.220 Right.

00:18:50.360 That he really didn't have any connections, and they mocked him, ridiculed him, because

00:18:57.520 he wasn't, you know, he wasn't a big deal, and they quickly figured that out.

00:19:01.720 Right.

00:19:02.360 But, so, you can see how the FBI, though, their radar shot up, though, that you already have

00:19:08.560 this guy.

00:19:09.180 He's been taught, he's been known to, you know, probably unknowingly.

00:19:12.880 I don't think he knew exactly, I don't think Carter Page knew that he was being targeted

00:19:16.380 by Russian intelligence, but because of his connections there, and because of connections

00:19:22.020 he was having when he was going over to Russia, which he, again, the Russians were targeting

00:19:25.960 him when he would travel to Russia, when he was based in Moscow.

00:19:30.100 And, of course, basically, you know, everybody's connected to Russian intelligence or the mafia

00:19:35.600 or something in Russia anyway.

00:19:37.840 But all the people that he was, you know, dealing with and running around with, all those circles

00:19:42.380 he was in, the moment he was actually signed on with the Trump campaign, they were like,

00:19:46.800 oh, whoa, what's going on?

00:19:48.740 That gave them the probable cause to say, okay, maybe we should look in a little bit more.

00:19:52.140 Right.

00:19:52.400 And it's not necessarily that Donald Trump knew any of this or anything.

00:19:57.040 The guy, Carter Page is a moron.

00:20:01.040 Yeah.

00:20:01.140 And that's the kind of guy that gets into trouble.

00:20:03.920 Yeah.

00:20:04.540 And then you couple that with Flynn and Manafort, and Trump doesn't even have to be involved

00:20:10.700 in any of this, and it doesn't even have to have collusion between Page and Flynn and Manafort.

00:20:15.680 It's just a really big bonfire that somebody needed to look at, and we still need to look

00:20:23.620 at Carter Page, General Flynn, and Manafort.

00:20:29.120 Glenn Beck.

00:20:31.060 Mercury.

00:20:33.700 So you've heard me talk a bit about Brickhouse Nutrition and their product Dawn to Dusk.

00:20:37.940 It's fantastic.

00:20:38.480 It helps me get through my crazy days and still have enough energy for the wife and kids

00:20:42.900 when I get home at night.

00:20:43.900 They just released their superfood product.

00:20:45.780 It's called Field of Greens.

00:20:47.360 And I wanted to share this testimonial.

00:20:48.980 It's from James in Nevada.

00:20:50.660 For the last month, I've been taking Field of Greens.

00:20:53.480 Not only did my wife get sick twice, but so did my son and my daughter once.

00:20:57.540 Every day I took Field of Greens, and I was the only one in my house who didn't get knocked

00:21:02.040 out by whatever the bug was that took everyone else down.

00:21:04.800 Thank you for turning me on to Brickhouse Nutrition.

00:21:07.260 What separates Fields of Greens from some of these other powdered drinks is that it's

00:21:11.860 real food.

00:21:36.840 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:38.560 So I just want to see if I have, I want to see if I have this right.

00:21:45.980 Because I think I slipped through a wormhole.

00:21:48.120 I don't know when it happened, but I am, this is definitely not the same earth that I was

00:21:54.280 on, you know, for the rest of my life and, or I mean, for the earlier part of my life.

00:21:59.120 And I believe I've slipped through several wormholes, but this one, this one, just let's do the

00:22:04.780 math.

00:22:07.260 Last night, I watched the Super Bowl and the game was the best part.

00:22:14.740 The game was actually compelling and exciting.

00:22:19.880 The halftime show really lacked any kind of, you know, malfunctions.

00:22:28.300 It was good.

00:22:32.580 Prince, even though he was dead, sang a duet.

00:22:36.780 But as I'm watching the commercials all sucked, nothing really held my attention in the commercials,

00:22:45.860 then Brady loses and the Eagles win.

00:22:51.660 Come on.

00:22:53.000 This is not the earth we all were on just last week.

00:23:01.300 I am not a sports fan and I was, I mean, it was compelling.

00:23:04.740 I can't remember the last time the Super Bowl was, was this compelling.

00:23:09.080 And what happened to the commercials?

00:23:11.240 Seriously, what happened?

00:23:12.480 I mean, I had a hard time.

00:23:14.020 My daughter said to me, dad, Justin Timberlake is the king of pop.

00:23:24.300 Excuse me, what?

00:23:27.460 Dad, Justin Timberlake, he's like the biggest pop star of our generation.

00:23:35.740 Wait, the guy, he was, wasn't he the guy in NSYNC?

00:23:43.840 Yes, dad.

00:23:46.040 Oh, good God.

00:23:47.320 And he's the best your generation can do?

00:23:50.900 Wow.

00:23:51.620 We are in, we're in deep trouble.

00:23:53.440 We had a conversation.

00:23:54.300 I remember taking my daughters, they were young.

00:23:57.220 I remember taking them to an NSYNC concert and Justin Timberlake flew over their head and it was the biggest deal for them.

00:24:08.020 And, uh, and I remember I didn't get my hearing back from, you know, the 13 year old girl screams for about a month.

00:24:15.920 Uh, so it wasn't, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't the best hearing experience, if you will.

00:24:22.800 Uh, I, I really even couldn't hear him sing.

00:24:25.460 I think last night was maybe possibly the first time that I've actually heard him sing.

00:24:30.400 And again, King of Pop, are we just throwing those titles around Higgledy Piggledy now?

00:24:38.320 I mean, is it, it may just be me.

00:24:41.660 I don't know.

00:24:42.340 So I had a, I had a difficult, uh, time last night.

00:24:45.020 I thought he was great.

00:24:46.280 I think great might be a little strong.

00:24:49.580 I thought he was very good.

00:24:51.980 I thought he wasn't offensive.

00:24:53.600 How's that?

00:24:54.220 I thought he wasn't offensive.

00:24:56.300 And that is, that's a big deal for the Superbowl, at least lately.

00:25:00.940 But then we get to the, uh, then we get to the commercials.

00:25:03.760 And I mean, when the Danny DeVito, you know, M&M commercial is the most memorable for me.

00:25:11.320 And it's mainly because I haven't had an M&M in about two months.

00:25:14.220 You know, that's a, that's a problem.

00:25:16.920 I don't know what happened.

00:25:17.600 Is everybody afraid to do comedy now?

00:25:21.400 Is there, is that what, is that what's happening?

00:25:22.720 Is everybody just like, you can't do that.

00:25:24.440 You can't do that.

00:25:25.780 Danny DeVito, you're going to point out that he's bald.

00:25:28.540 What about, you'll be sued by the bald people.

00:25:31.940 There'll be riots on the street.

00:25:33.340 No, it's a white guy.

00:25:34.600 It's a bald, white, old guy.

00:25:37.200 Everybody hates those.

00:25:38.480 Oh, so that's the only thing that we'd probably make fun of.

00:25:41.760 Maybe.

00:25:42.160 Is that, is that what it is?

00:25:43.200 Cause I didn't, I didn't, I was intrigued by the movie trailers.

00:25:47.460 I liked the movie trailers, but those were good, but not, if the game wasn't good, nothing

00:25:56.020 would have held me.

00:25:57.000 Nothing would have held me.

00:26:00.400 May I address the MLK problem?

00:26:02.740 The MLK commercial with the Dodge Ram.

00:26:10.900 Did anybody really have a problem with this?

00:26:15.160 I mean, I, I, I did, but it's not the problem that everybody else has.

00:26:19.180 Here is the commercial for the Dodge Ram that aired last night, uh, in the Superbowl.

00:26:25.940 You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to say, you don't have to know the theory of relativity to say, you don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to say, you only need a heart full of grace.

00:26:48.040 Soul generated by love.

00:26:51.140 And then it goes to the logo of a built to serve Dodge, Dodge Ram.

00:26:59.540 Okay.

00:27:05.880 The, the, the, the controversy is how dare you, how dare you use Martin Luther King like that?

00:27:13.640 How dare you use Martin Luther King?

00:27:16.300 I mean, first of all, that was an inspiring commercial.

00:27:18.320 I mean, anytime you can hear the words of Martin Luther King, that should be a good thing, right?

00:27:24.860 The problem is, I should say everybody's problem is, is that Dodge would use his words to, to sell a truck.

00:27:34.140 That's, that's an abomination.

00:27:36.400 How dare Dodge use his words to sell a truck?

00:27:40.220 May I just point out?

00:27:41.440 I can't play speeches from Martin Luther King on the radio.

00:27:46.460 I can't, I can't say to you, I want you to really listen to this speech.

00:27:51.280 I want you to really listen to this.

00:27:53.120 I can't even play the, I have a dream speech today.

00:27:57.540 The only day I can play that without getting sued is Martin Luther King day.

00:28:05.300 His family has such a tight rein on all of his words and all of the audio and all of the video that you literally cannot play the, I have a dream speech except on that day or they'll sue you.

00:28:24.040 They are, they are, they are as protective as Disney is with their trademarks.

00:28:31.560 So it's not, don't, don't blame Dodge.

00:28:34.140 Dodge had nothing to do with it.

00:28:35.480 Dodge came up with the idea and said, we're going to do a deal on service and our slogan for our truck is going to be built to serve.

00:28:42.220 It's a beautiful commercial.

00:28:45.440 It shows people serving.

00:28:47.380 It shows police officers.

00:28:48.420 It shows fire.

00:28:49.480 It shows, it shows people helping each other in the inner city and on farmlands.

00:28:54.220 It shows people helping people in, you know, hospitals and babies and all of the stuff.

00:29:00.220 It's a great stirring commercial.

00:29:02.820 And it was such a good commercial that the, the King family decided to sell the rights of their father or their grandfather to sell the rights to Dodge, to be able to make that commercial.

00:29:25.360 So anybody who is on the high and mighty path today, how dare, how dare they use?

00:29:31.920 First of all, good.

00:29:34.320 How many people heard the words of Martin Luther King?

00:29:36.740 I, I've never heard that speech before.

00:29:39.380 I love that.

00:29:42.560 I've never heard it before.

00:29:45.200 How many people heard that speech from Martin Luther King for the very first time last night?

00:29:50.460 Thanks to Dodge.

00:29:55.920 So I don't understand your complaint.

00:29:58.320 And if you want to take it up with anybody, take it up with the King family, because the King family approved.

00:30:06.060 And I can guarantee you cashed a check because of it.

00:30:11.040 Many wise Americans understand the importance of emergency preparedness.

00:30:32.800 And yet we don't prepare for some reason.

00:30:34.840 We say we're going to, but then for some reason we just don't.

00:30:38.920 Why?

00:30:39.540 Why?

00:30:40.360 Why do we do that?

00:30:41.980 You can take a couple of small steps and, and you'll make a crisis seem like an inconvenience.

00:30:48.300 I don't know if you've seen the stock market.

00:30:53.580 You know, I've been, I've been saying that there was going to be a melt up in the next 12 to 18 months.

00:31:00.660 And maybe, God forbid, we have, we have already passed that.

00:31:05.020 Maybe this climb to, what was it, 28 was our melt up.

00:31:11.280 I don't think so.

00:31:13.320 But the stock market is very, very, very uneasy.

00:31:18.600 And one of the reasons is because of things like our bonds.

00:31:24.660 Who's, we, we, we are borrowing a trillion dollars, an 84% increase year over year.

00:31:33.120 We're borrowing a trillion dollars.

00:31:35.620 We're cutting our taxes, but we're spending faster than ever before.

00:31:40.820 What are we doing?

00:31:42.380 What are we doing?

00:31:45.300 We're headed for a train wreck.

00:31:47.120 But you know what?

00:31:48.500 I heard great advice the other day.

00:31:50.780 What are you going to do?

00:31:52.280 I could sit here and I could freak out about everything.

00:31:55.220 I could, I could worry about any, everything, but you know what?

00:31:58.080 I can't change the world.

00:31:59.880 I can't change the world.

00:32:01.000 I can only change me.

00:32:01.960 So, change you.

00:32:22.220 Now that's, that is outrageous.

00:32:46.660 Okay, there's a couple things that I want to bring to your attention that are kind of difficult at times for people to understand because they feel good.

00:33:09.340 And, you know, don't, don't, don't, you know, pee all over the party.

00:33:15.060 But it's always a careful balance.

00:33:19.280 And this is something that we've been talking about for the last 10 years or longer.

00:33:23.420 And that is the budget and jobs and, and how the monetary system works, how the Fed prints money, what it's trying to do.

00:33:35.040 We've gone over shows last week.

00:33:36.660 I did a chalkboard again on the velocity of money.

00:33:39.000 And that means how many times a dollar is spent by someone from the moment it's born at the printing press to the time it comes back to the Federal Reserve.

00:33:52.260 So it goes from the Federal Reserve to the bank.

00:33:55.960 The bank then loans that money to a business to, you know, increase, you know, and build new widgets.

00:34:05.840 That money then is spent on buying something.

00:34:10.960 So there's number one, the business buys something with it.

00:34:16.400 Then whoever that dollar ends up in, they either put it in the bank, which then is returned back to the Fed.

00:34:23.560 And there's one, or they spend it on something.

00:34:27.580 They have to spend it on, you know, gas or food.

00:34:31.440 So they spend it, let's say, at the grocery store.

00:34:33.740 What does the grocer spend that dollar on?

00:34:36.960 Because now we have two.

00:34:38.780 If the grocer goes out and he buys something, let's say he wants to go buy a new TV.

00:34:45.160 There's three.

00:34:46.620 What is the TV people?

00:34:48.480 What do they spend that money on?

00:34:50.840 Well, they've had a good year, and so they're going to go on vacation.

00:34:53.820 There's four.

00:34:54.760 When they go out on vacation, then they spend that at a restaurant, and they give it to a tip.

00:34:59.840 As a tip, there's five.

00:35:01.840 And it goes on and on and on.

00:35:03.500 When our country is doing well, that dollar is spent about 18 times, between 17 and 18 times,

00:35:11.240 before it returns back to the place of its birth, the Federal Reserve.

00:35:15.340 During the Great Depression, that number was, I think, 6.4, meaning the velocity.

00:35:22.940 Nobody was spending money.

00:35:23.940 They were keeping their money.

00:35:25.060 They would get it.

00:35:25.940 They had to spend it on essentials, and then they would put it away.

00:35:28.860 So it would return back to the bank, and it had no velocity.

00:35:32.520 Nobody was buying anything they didn't need.

00:35:34.780 It was in the mid-sixes, maybe 6.2 during the Great Depression.

00:35:40.420 Very low.

00:35:41.220 We're now at 5.6, and that's why they've been priming the pump.

00:35:47.060 That's why they've been printing all this money, trying to get somebody to spend it.

00:35:50.540 Now, let me give you a couple of stories.

00:35:52.160 We just repatriated, which means we just lowered the taxes down to, I think, 15% or 20% for these companies like Apple.

00:36:04.360 Apple has, I'm going to round these numbers.

00:36:09.020 They have, I think, about $300 billion outside of the country.

00:36:15.220 U.S. dollars sitting in a bank doing nothing.

00:36:18.340 They're now bringing that money back in because the taxes are low, and that's why they're going to build new offices and new buildings and new products, and they're hiring people.

00:36:29.040 They're giving bonuses, the same with Microsoft, the same with all of the big companies.

00:36:36.720 The big companies have $2.4 trillion sitting overseas waiting to come home.

00:36:44.860 That's why when we keep priming the pump, it's not going anywhere because people will buy things, and then it will sit in a bank, and it'll sit in the bank with these companies, or it'll go to Wall Street with these companies.

00:36:57.200 They're not spending it on you.

00:36:58.900 They're not building new product because you're not buying them.

00:37:02.040 So now we have two things going on.

00:37:05.660 The federal government wants to do a trillion and a half dollar stimulus, which is, again, they say it's for infrastructure, but it's just to get people spending money.

00:37:17.820 At the same time, the government now is set to borrow a trillion dollars, a trillion dollars.

00:37:24.480 This is an important announcement that happened last week that nobody paid attention to from the Treasury Department.

00:37:29.160 A trillion dollars this fiscal year.

00:37:32.960 That is almost double what the government borrowed last year.

00:37:38.120 It's an 84% jump.

00:37:42.740 U.S. Treasury expects to borrow $955 billion.

00:37:47.740 It was $519 billion last year.

00:37:52.420 The uptick in borrowing is another complication in the heated debate in Congress of whether to spend more money on infrastructure, the military, disaster relief, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:38:02.100 The debt is already up significantly, even before Congress allots more money to any of these other areas.

00:38:10.140 So what is the problem with this?

00:38:14.620 I need to explain this.

00:38:16.280 We need to go into what is spooking the market today.

00:38:22.420 Inflation.

00:38:23.880 Why is inflation a problem?

00:38:26.500 Too few goods.

00:38:27.980 Too much money chasing those goods.

00:38:30.100 Mercury.

00:38:30.860 Love.

00:38:47.120 Courage.

00:38:48.900 Truth.

00:38:50.600 Glenn Beck.

00:38:52.280 You know, I like to watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, usually because the game is just boring as snot.

00:38:57.480 And that comes, I know, from somebody who's not a sports fan, but come on.

00:39:03.840 It's usually boring as snot.

00:39:05.620 Last night was the exact opposite in so many ways.

00:39:08.960 I thought the commercials were boring, and yet maybe they weren't.

00:39:18.960 The commercials last night told us something about what research tells people who are trying to sell us products.

00:39:26.600 Because what they want to do is they want to convince you, I'm just like you.

00:39:33.720 So what were they trying to convince us last night?

00:39:35.880 What were they trying to say?

00:39:38.020 See, we're just like you.

00:39:41.880 A beautiful newborn baby cries and fidgets in her hospital bed.

00:39:46.080 She's perfect.

00:39:47.080 A nurse lifts her up to comfort her.

00:39:53.800 It's revealed that the child is missing both legs below the knee and one arm.

00:39:59.740 But she's still perfect.

00:40:01.040 That was a Toyota commercial last night.

00:40:07.400 Hitting a ball out of the park.

00:40:11.120 It was a commercial, you know, for Toyota, but it wasn't.

00:40:16.920 It was about a Paralympic gold medalist.

00:40:21.180 In 60 seconds, we saw her birth.

00:40:26.540 We saw her struggles to use her mechanical limbs.

00:40:29.340 We saw her failures, and we saw her triumph.

00:40:35.280 Now, if you believe in eugenics,

00:40:38.300 you know, there's no quality of life for those born with deformities like that.

00:40:45.640 I mean, but how could you possibly think that after watching Lauren thrive and go on to win eight gold medals?

00:40:53.600 In that one minute, Toyota showed the world that all life matters.

00:40:58.880 It's important to notice that, you know, or mention that there were no cars mentioned in the ad.

00:41:07.260 Because that wasn't the point.

00:41:10.080 Toyota wanted to reach in and say, we're just like you.

00:41:17.700 They've transitioned, or they are transitioning, to something called a mobility company.

00:41:21.920 It's because cars are going to change.

00:41:23.600 But they wanted to show that the technology that they're developing is going to help humanity.

00:41:31.620 Dodge also opted to showcase their new technology.

00:41:35.320 But the carmaker was heavily criticized for the commercial.

00:41:38.920 It was a commercial for the Dodge Ram truck.

00:41:40.900 I don't know if you've seen this or seen all of the, oh my gosh, the outrage over it.

00:41:45.480 Martin Luther King was used in the ad as speech, serving as the background.

00:41:50.100 Exactly the way that, I don't even remember who did it last time with Paul Harvey.

00:41:54.620 And this is a farmer.

00:41:57.180 It's the same thing.

00:41:58.980 People are outraged that Dodge could use Martin Luther King's words to sell cars.

00:42:05.660 I don't see it that way.

00:42:06.840 Anytime we can listen to Martin Luther King, I think it's a good thing.

00:42:10.980 And boy, do we need to hear his words of empowerment now.

00:42:13.720 Yes, Dodge was selling their new Ram truck, but they were also selling and reinforcing what we believe about ourselves, but we're not hearing it.

00:42:27.780 That we're good.

00:42:30.560 And we can serve each other.

00:42:32.640 It doesn't have to be like this.

00:42:34.160 In 120 seconds, the Toyota and Dodge commercials conveyed the message that advancements in technology could be used for good.

00:42:48.380 But more importantly, I think in 120 seconds, Dodge and Toyota reflected who we really are and what we want to be.

00:43:04.160 It's Monday, February 5th.

00:43:09.320 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:12.700 So let me follow this path down the road for a second.

00:43:16.860 What did the Super Bowl commercials really teach us last night?

00:43:21.140 Because remember, you don't spend that kind of money without all kinds of testing.

00:43:24.880 You're not sitting around in the room going, I don't know.

00:43:27.740 Let's throw this out and see what happens with this one.

00:43:30.640 You're doing all kinds of testing.

00:43:32.500 So what did that testing apparently tell the ad makers?

00:43:39.500 That Americans are tired.

00:43:42.520 That Americans want hope.

00:43:44.960 That Americans want somebody to articulate a vision that is good and hopeful.

00:43:51.000 That we work together.

00:43:52.660 We come together.

00:43:53.780 That we become our greater selves again.

00:43:55.940 That we are truly still the Americans that we've always wanted to be.

00:44:00.220 That's what the Super Bowl told us last night.

00:44:03.460 All of those commercials.

00:44:05.040 That's what they were selling to us.

00:44:07.080 And remember, you can only sell something to people who believe they have a need for it.

00:44:16.280 Our need is someone just saying, we're good.

00:44:22.220 We are.

00:44:24.080 We know it.

00:44:25.560 We know it.

00:44:26.380 We're good.

00:44:27.140 We're misguided.

00:44:28.840 We have each gone his own way.

00:44:32.520 We've lost sight of what's important.

00:44:36.280 We've been convinced.

00:44:38.240 And some of it with reason.

00:44:41.360 That you know what?

00:44:42.120 We're not the country that we thought we were.

00:44:47.060 And yet, at the same time, we are much better than the country we think we are now.

00:44:59.940 It's really interesting how life is all about balance.

00:45:06.900 That's all it is.

00:45:12.120 I told my son, you know, he's, we've battled back and forth.

00:45:20.680 I want to talk to you about this.

00:45:21.760 I've been meaning to talk to you about this.

00:45:23.020 I really need your help on something.

00:45:25.640 But I, you know, I took away his, you know, all of his gaming and everything else.

00:45:31.300 And this is about two years ago.

00:45:33.280 And we went through this really tough times and took it away.

00:45:37.760 And he finally understood that I'm not taking it away because I'm a mean dad.

00:45:43.520 I'm taking it away because, dude, you can't handle it.

00:45:46.640 You can't handle it.

00:45:47.600 You get lost in it.

00:45:49.080 It's a balance.

00:45:50.060 You have to be able to turn it off and go read a book.

00:45:52.240 You have to, you can't become consumed by it.

00:45:56.480 But isn't that really not just games?

00:45:59.880 Isn't that, isn't that everything we do?

00:46:04.660 Everything from our job, identifying our, who we are with our job.

00:46:09.500 To whatever our vice is.

00:46:20.700 We have a problem right now that we don't, I don't think we believe in forgiveness anymore.

00:46:25.300 I'm not sure we do.

00:46:26.360 I don't think we, I think we just believe now that there are some people that aren't worthy of receiving forgiveness.

00:46:32.100 You know, I'll never forgive you for that.

00:46:34.440 What does that even mean?

00:46:39.500 It's hard to forgive, especially when somebody else, you know, is, where they don't seem worthy of it.

00:46:47.040 I mean, this guy, this guy, I mean, what, do you want me just to forgive him?

00:46:55.720 Want me just to, yeah, well, yeah, kind of.

00:46:59.000 No, the guy doesn't even get it.

00:47:03.040 Somehow or another, we want people to be humbled enough.

00:47:07.380 We want them, we want to see them give us the reason to forgive them.

00:47:14.700 Now, imagine how ironic that seems to God.

00:47:18.620 Really.

00:47:19.460 Think of that.

00:47:22.140 Think of, think of Jesus in the end.

00:47:25.860 Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.

00:47:29.020 He wasn't up there going, these bastards, I'm never going to forgive you.

00:47:33.260 I'm never, you're not humble enough.

00:47:35.320 I'm not going to forgive you.

00:47:36.420 Can you imagine that?

00:47:37.500 No.

00:47:43.460 But I think as hard as it is to forgive other people, I think it's harder to forgive ourselves.

00:47:51.460 We, it's, it's.

00:47:52.940 It's amazing because we don't understand balance.

00:48:02.220 It's exactly the same difficulty we have in forgiving other people.

00:48:06.900 It's humility and worthiness.

00:48:09.540 Forgiving yourself, which is the only way to really make a change.

00:48:18.160 It requires both humility and self-worth.

00:48:21.900 Those things never go together.

00:48:23.520 Has anybody noticed that?

00:48:25.580 Humility and self-worth.

00:48:27.560 If everything is going well, we begin to think, oh yeah, you know what?

00:48:34.820 We did it.

00:48:35.740 We, we figured it out.

00:48:36.820 I did it.

00:48:37.360 I, I was, you wouldn't, honey, you wouldn't believe.

00:48:40.360 I mean, I was amazing.

00:48:42.780 I have just threaded this needle like nobody else ever had.

00:48:47.360 That we begin to believe that it was us.

00:48:50.060 Look at me.

00:48:55.120 And we become arrogant.

00:48:56.360 And then, when things aren't going so well, I failed.

00:49:01.140 Man, I'm stupid.

00:49:02.740 What is wrong with me?

00:49:05.060 Man, just the dumbest.

00:49:08.100 I'm the worst.

00:49:14.000 Hide, lest he see your nakedness.

00:49:18.840 The snake whispered to Eve.

00:49:26.360 You know what the problem with politicians?

00:49:31.240 The politician is a direct reflection of us.

00:49:36.480 And that's the problem today.

00:49:39.060 You notice they have a lot of self-worth, no humility.

00:49:44.580 They have the answer and they're not going to even consider any other answer.

00:49:47.840 That's the answer.

00:49:52.620 Look at what, look at what social media is doing to us.

00:49:56.860 Social media has invited us to share.

00:50:02.620 But are we sharing?

00:50:04.960 Or are we showing?

00:50:07.240 We're not sharing.

00:50:08.860 We're showing.

00:50:10.000 We're showing other people how smart we are.

00:50:12.660 How rich we are.

00:50:13.460 How happy we are.

00:50:14.500 How complete we are.

00:50:16.740 That's what we're doing.

00:50:17.820 We're showing the world what we want them to see.

00:50:21.320 They don't see the rest.

00:50:22.320 They see all the great things.

00:50:24.480 And yet, studies have now shown between 2010 and 2018, with millennials, there is a 28% rise in suicide and a 40% increase in depression.

00:50:39.900 Why?

00:50:42.740 Because we're doing the exact opposite of what that Facebook button says.

00:50:47.880 Share.

00:50:48.560 We're not sharing.

00:50:50.800 We're showing.

00:50:52.400 And what are we showing?

00:50:54.120 We're showing lies.

00:50:56.700 That's really what it is.

00:50:58.960 I'm just going to start taking pictures of all the worst times in my life.

00:51:02.380 I think that's what I'm going to do.

00:51:03.500 Just when I look the worst, when my family's arguing, just start posting all that stuff.

00:51:11.320 We all think.

00:51:13.020 I shouldn't say that.

00:51:14.580 How many of us think that we're the doctor?

00:51:21.020 We're the doctor.

00:51:22.500 I can fix that.

00:51:23.760 You know what?

00:51:24.500 I mean, let me help you with that.

00:51:25.940 Okay?

00:51:27.020 It's not that hard.

00:51:29.100 We forget.

00:51:30.060 We're not the doctor.

00:51:30.820 We're in the same hospital, man.

00:51:32.260 We just have different problems.

00:51:34.520 But we all think that we're wearing the white coat when all of us really are wearing that stupid, I don't know who designed it, but we're wearing that stupid smock that opens up in the back and exposes the worst end of us.

00:51:49.100 That's what we're doing.

00:51:50.020 And we're all walking around in the hospital, you know, in those things with a back end hanging out going, yes, well, I'm here to help you.

00:51:58.420 Listen to me.

00:51:59.000 I can help you.

00:51:59.780 If we're wearing the surgical gown and how ridiculous we look, we'd be humble.

00:52:12.640 We all make mistakes, all of us.

00:52:22.940 And then we try to bury them.

00:52:24.500 We try to forget them, justify them.

00:52:26.240 And they gnaw at us and they bend us and they twist us and they distort us.

00:52:31.720 That's what's happening to America.

00:52:33.240 That's what's happening to each of us.

00:52:35.040 We've made critical errors.

00:52:37.100 We've made certain decisions that are bending us and shaping us and twisting us out of shape.

00:52:45.060 We need a chiropractor for our soul, man.

00:52:51.660 We need somebody just to go, there, now, see, see, that's the way it's supposed to be.

00:52:58.080 And if we don't stand up straight pretty soon, it won't feel right when you do.

00:53:07.100 I think God laughs at us all the time.

00:53:10.620 I mean, because he sees us in the surgical gowns.

00:53:13.360 He sees us with our worst end.

00:53:15.920 And he's just shaking his head, looking at us, going, what the hell?

00:53:25.120 Here's what the Super Bowl commercials told us last night.

00:53:28.520 Remember who you are.

00:53:31.560 You've forgotten.

00:53:32.640 Remember who you are.

00:53:33.520 Remember who you are, why you're here, and what you can be.

00:53:41.420 Stop trying so hard to convince everyone else and yourself of what you are.

00:53:47.260 Because you're none of those things.

00:53:48.420 Here's who you are.

00:53:50.400 You're a person just like everybody else.

00:53:52.520 And you've got some really great things that you probably minimize.

00:53:56.160 You probably don't even think because they're yours.

00:53:58.900 I don't know.

00:53:59.600 It just comes easy to me.

00:54:00.720 It's just, no, that doesn't.

00:54:02.480 That's not as good as that.

00:54:07.060 And we're all afraid of something.

00:54:13.980 We're all afraid that somebody's going to see the back of our hospital gown.

00:54:17.980 And our shame and our fear of exposure gets in the way of admitting we're not all that.

00:54:26.620 Instead of just shaking our head and going, geez, man, we're all so much alike.

00:54:30.540 Why don't we do that?

00:54:31.520 Because we don't share.

00:54:32.640 All of us are frightened of something.

00:54:38.540 Of something.

00:54:40.620 I think being found out is the biggest common fear.

00:54:44.040 Being found out that, I don't know, we're not good enough.

00:54:48.260 We're not smart enough.

00:54:49.360 We don't ask questions because we don't want to feel stupid.

00:54:51.820 We go along on things that we don't really know, but I don't know everybody else.

00:55:02.700 I don't want to be different.

00:55:04.920 I'm not that smart.

00:55:06.280 If people only knew that I would ever fill in the blank.

00:55:09.780 If people ever found out that I fill in the blank.

00:55:16.440 But that's the lie.

00:55:17.680 So what are we going to do about it?

00:55:22.660 We'll continue in a minute.

00:55:33.760 All right.

00:55:34.320 It's Valentine's Day coming up in a couple of weeks.

00:55:36.540 What is the date?

00:55:37.220 What's the date today, Natasha?

00:55:39.820 The 5th?

00:55:40.900 Jeez.

00:55:41.840 It's the 5th.

00:55:42.680 So here's the thing.

00:55:43.900 We're nine days away from Valentine's Day.

00:57:06.840 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:57:16.840 Glenn Beck.

00:57:19.080 Jeez, if people only knew who we are.

00:57:21.380 Last night, I contend the Super Bowl told us exactly who we are.

00:57:26.960 Those are well-tested commercials, and the theme last night is, it's a bright future.

00:57:31.960 We can be better tomorrow than we are today.

00:57:33.960 All we have to do is help one another.

00:57:37.280 Listen to this from Dodge Ram.

00:57:38.920 You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.

00:57:42.940 You don't have to know the theory of relativity to serve.

00:57:47.000 You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.

00:57:52.520 You only need a heart full of grace.

00:58:00.840 Soul generated by love.

00:58:03.620 So, what does that say to you?

00:58:10.500 Well, of course, it says buy a Dodge Ram truck, but other than that, well, and also that the King family sold out for money for the commercial.

00:58:20.440 But, okay, let's say, what is it really saying?

00:58:23.860 It's saying, you don't have to be better than you are.

00:58:34.880 You just need one thing.

00:58:38.760 What is that one thing he said?

00:58:42.600 More in a minute.

00:58:43.360 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:59:04.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:06.440 I'm going to talk a little bit about the FISA memo and the role of the press that they have seemed to have forgotten and why this FISA memo is really important.

00:59:21.420 We'll get into that coming up in just a little while and a little history that I think the press might want to keep in the dark, dusty parts of the library that nobody will ever read.

00:59:36.440 Unfortunately, I'm a history freak, and I remember some of these things.

00:59:42.700 So, I want to go back to the 1970s with the press.

00:59:46.520 We'll do that coming up in just a few minutes because it seems as though they have forgotten a few things, both good and bad, that they did.

00:59:57.760 I really want to focus on answers.

01:00:04.660 And it's really hard.

01:00:07.920 It's really hard.

01:00:09.300 It's easy to get on the bandwagon and bitch about things.

01:00:15.720 It's harder to say, okay, well, can we do anything about that?

01:00:19.620 Last night in the Super Bowl, I really think that the Super Bowl commercials said a couple of things.

01:00:29.660 One, we're not really willing to joke about anything anymore.

01:00:32.580 Because if we're not a society just ripe for mockery, then we're never going to be.

01:00:42.860 I mean, we are just so ripe for just somebody hammering us for all of the stuff that we're doing right now.

01:00:49.940 But nobody's willing to do it.

01:00:54.460 Nobody's willing to go there.

01:00:56.560 And it's going to get crazier and crazier until we do.

01:00:59.500 Until we all just look at each other and go, come on, dude.

01:01:02.040 I mean, let me give you a couple of things.

01:01:04.100 Let me give you a couple of things.

01:01:04.900 Do you know, you remember when people used to say, if we could just be more like Europe.

01:01:10.640 Okay, I will go for that.

01:01:13.220 Could we be more like Europe?

01:01:17.060 Let me give you this.

01:01:20.240 Three states, Virginia, South Carolina, Iowa, prohibit abortion after the 28th week.

01:01:26.160 20 states say it's around 24 weeks.

01:01:30.880 11 states prohibit abortion after the 20th week.

01:01:34.900 As a blanket rule, abortions are legal in every single state before pregnancy has reached its 20th week.

01:01:41.860 Would you like to be more like Europe?

01:01:44.900 Abortion is legal in England up to 24 weeks.

01:01:49.180 There's no time limit if there's risk to the woman's life.

01:01:53.580 The Netherlands mandates a five-day waiting period.

01:01:59.460 Clinics have to provide women with information about abortion alternatives

01:02:03.320 and only after that is the abortion legal until the 24th week.

01:02:09.420 Hello?

01:02:11.000 A waiting period.

01:02:13.000 Hmm.

01:02:13.320 A cooling off period.

01:02:14.420 We have it for guns, but not other things that kill people.

01:02:17.640 That's weird.

01:02:18.600 That makes England and the Netherlands more restrictive than 10 states in America.

01:02:22.540 Socialist Sweden allows abortions until the 18th week of pregnancy,

01:02:28.320 bans most of them after the 22nd week.

01:02:31.680 In that four-week gray period, women can only get an abortion if it's approved by the National Board of Health and Welfare.

01:02:39.420 In Spain, it's legal in the first 14 weeks.

01:02:44.380 In Denmark, abortion is available on demand up to 12 weeks after pregnancies,

01:02:50.580 with exceptions of rape and women's health.

01:02:55.020 In Germany, abortions after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, banned.

01:02:59.800 That makes the abortion law in Germany more restrictive than the most restrictive in the United States,

01:03:09.140 including Utah, you know, where all the Mormons live.

01:03:14.300 Germany is more conservative than them.

01:03:18.500 Belgium, it's legal until 12 weeks.

01:03:22.020 France, it's legal until 12 weeks.

01:03:26.120 Finland, 12 weeks.

01:03:29.040 If a woman can provide a social reason for seeking to terminate her pregnancy,

01:03:34.280 such as poverty, which is, jeez, extreme distress,

01:03:39.260 or already having at least four children.

01:03:41.620 In Italy, any woman has 90 days from the date of conception to request an abortion.

01:03:46.840 In Switzerland, it's up to 12 weeks.

01:03:49.800 Do you still want to be more?

01:03:51.560 Do you still want to be more like Europe?

01:03:53.960 Left?

01:03:54.720 Do you?

01:04:01.900 What did we learn last night from the Super Bowl commercials?

01:04:09.760 Well, did you see the T-Mobile commercial?

01:04:13.060 Did you see the babies?

01:04:14.180 Here's a refresher.

01:04:24.080 Welcome to the world, little ones.

01:04:27.700 Yeah, it's a lot to take in.

01:04:30.340 But you come with open minds and the instinct that we are equal.

01:04:35.180 Some people may see your differences and be threatened by them.

01:04:45.980 But you are unstoppable.

01:04:48.940 You'll love who you want.

01:04:55.500 You'll demand fair and equal pay.

01:04:58.840 You will not allow where you come from to dictate where you're going.

01:05:03.680 You will be heard, not dismissed.

01:05:06.560 You will be connected, not alone.

01:05:10.520 Change starts now.

01:05:12.440 And you know what?

01:05:15.040 If those words didn't have deeper political meanings, we would agree on all of that.

01:05:20.340 Who doesn't want fair and equal pay?

01:05:24.860 Who doesn't want to be heard?

01:05:27.400 You will be heard.

01:05:29.340 That's the problem.

01:05:30.560 People aren't being heard.

01:05:34.400 People on the left, people on the right.

01:05:37.280 I'm telling you, the only ones that are heard right now are the extremists on both sides.

01:05:45.180 Are you being heard?

01:05:47.380 Is the person who says, I agree with those, not in the political sense, but I agree with all of those things.

01:05:52.880 Do you feel you're being heard?

01:05:58.060 I don't think so.

01:06:02.360 Here's what I want you to do.

01:06:07.280 I want you to risk telling the truth.

01:06:11.820 I'm not, I'm not, let me say, I want you to risk telling a truth.

01:06:17.260 But not a truth for somebody else.

01:06:20.680 A truth about you.

01:06:23.840 Something, something, risk this week.

01:06:29.000 Risk.

01:06:34.120 Share.

01:06:35.460 As Facebook says, we don't share, we show.

01:06:40.320 We pretend in the hospital of life that we're the doctors and not the patients.

01:06:44.820 We are self-hating egomaniacs, and that's the problem.

01:06:55.060 I want you to just ponder that for a while.

01:06:57.880 Self-hating egomaniacs, is that not, does that not describe who we are right now?

01:07:04.420 We think we can fix the planet through spending programs.

01:07:14.540 If that's not an egomaniac, I don't know what is.

01:07:17.580 We think we can change the world with a hashtag.

01:07:31.120 The greatest thing to ever live is also the worst thing that has ever lived.

01:07:41.140 Man.

01:07:48.680 Except we just can't forgive each other, and we can't forgive ourselves for some reason or another.

01:07:54.000 Because the other person is not worthy.

01:07:55.920 They haven't, they, no, they have not been humbled enough.

01:07:58.500 No, no, no, no.

01:08:01.820 And we can't forgive ourselves because,

01:08:05.500 ah, people only knew.

01:08:07.100 No.

01:08:11.140 We have to expose ourself.

01:08:22.660 We have to admit that we have to come to a place of knowing that we're good.

01:08:28.880 That we are that commercial.

01:08:30.760 We are that baby.

01:08:32.080 We believe those things.

01:08:33.660 All of us.

01:08:34.400 All of us.

01:08:35.040 The person that we disagree with believes those things in a non-political way.

01:08:41.660 We believe that.

01:08:43.440 We have to accept that in ourselves and accept that with others.

01:08:48.060 We have to find the divine nature in ourselves and others and accept it.

01:08:59.720 Divine nature while remaining humble.

01:09:03.500 Wow.

01:09:04.300 When those two get out of whack, it's trouble.

01:09:16.000 It's trouble.

01:09:17.920 I'm either not worthy.

01:09:21.340 Or I'm the best thing ever.

01:09:23.940 We as a country, USA, USA.

01:09:26.480 Or we're the worst ever.

01:09:27.780 We're neither of those.

01:09:30.760 We're both.

01:09:33.320 We're both worthy and really in need of help.

01:09:42.240 The problem is we forget.

01:09:43.720 And even, even the best of us forget, even nailed on a cross, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

01:10:00.660 Jeez, man, if that guy had doubts, what do you think I'm going to have about myself?

01:10:05.780 If that guy had a moment of, I'm all alone, why have you forsaken me?

01:10:13.720 You know who we are?

01:10:20.760 We're tired.

01:10:21.940 We're poor in spirit.

01:10:23.880 We're struggling.

01:10:27.220 And we're divine.

01:10:28.940 And we're worthy.

01:10:30.680 And we're good.

01:10:31.920 And we're decent.

01:10:34.240 We're kind.

01:10:36.020 We're gracious.

01:10:38.580 We're smart.

01:10:39.740 We're equipped.

01:10:43.720 We have to first see ourself in truth and stop comparing ourselves to other people on Facebook.

01:10:50.680 Stop living the lie on Facebook.

01:10:54.300 See what your life is really like.

01:10:56.140 And you know what?

01:11:03.400 Do you save your Christmas cards?

01:11:04.900 Because we save our Christmas cards.

01:11:06.200 We, we, we put them up on the kitchen cabinets.

01:11:09.500 We look at them.

01:11:11.080 And we see all these families and they're all so happy and they're all so great.

01:11:14.600 And that's, I mean, that was the precursor to, to Facebook.

01:11:18.220 The Christmas cards.

01:11:19.180 With everybody's in, you're like, geez.

01:11:20.380 And then you get some, somebody who writes this long ass letter about, hey, this is what

01:11:26.900 we've been doing this year.

01:11:28.040 And you're like, oh, shut up.

01:11:30.080 I barely have time to write my name, let alone a, a digest of what I did with my family this

01:11:37.180 year and how great things are.

01:11:38.660 And you start to go, crap.

01:11:43.300 How come they can hold it together?

01:11:44.700 They can't.

01:11:45.200 They can't.

01:11:45.880 They can't.

01:11:46.840 They got other problems.

01:11:47.800 No matter what you see on Facebook, no matter what you see on somebody's Christmas card last

01:11:52.860 year, isn't this not, we're all wearing a backless hospital surgical gown.

01:12:00.020 We are all, this is a hospital man and none of us are the doctors.

01:12:05.460 We're all struggling with something.

01:12:08.380 The minute we can laugh that the back of our ass is hanging out and other people are seeing

01:12:15.440 it and we can actually recognize, okay, all right, okay, yeah, well, I can see you too.

01:12:24.000 That's when we'll actually make progress.

01:12:26.420 Blinds.com, they are absolutely the best at what they do.

01:12:47.480 And I want Mark from Arizona to tell you about it.

01:12:50.660 He wrote in and said, I heard about Blinds.com on Glenn Beck's program.

01:13:56.700 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:14:04.560 Glenn Beck.

01:14:07.680 Let me go to Dennis in Michigan.

01:14:09.500 Hello, Dennis, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:14:11.780 Hey, good to talk with you.

01:14:14.040 Uh, I did not watch the game, so I didn't see any of the commercials.

01:14:18.920 However, it just strikes me that, uh, uh, what you're talking about in the commercials

01:14:24.980 that you referenced, there seems to be an underlying theme of, uh, let's make America

01:14:30.180 great.

01:14:30.960 Now, where have I heard that before?

01:14:33.060 Somewhere.

01:14:34.640 Well, I think that's, I mean, uh, I mean, I would prefer not to turn it to politics, but

01:14:41.780 I don't think that's the same message.

01:14:43.500 You didn't see the commercials.

01:14:45.000 It is about making America great, but how Dennis, do you make America great?

01:14:51.480 Well, hopefully go back to the way it used to was.

01:14:55.780 All right.

01:14:56.340 I'm not sure what that means, but okay, Dennis, thank you for your call.

01:14:59.020 So I, I guess you're right.

01:15:01.240 If you mean, uh, we go back to the, the principles that made us good.

01:15:08.400 The, the only reason why America is great.

01:15:10.140 We're not great because of our, you know, industrial might.

01:15:13.820 We're not great because of any of that.

01:15:15.000 We're great because we're good.

01:15:18.760 We, we, we've always been a place to where people come and they, they, they say the Americans

01:15:26.120 are just different.

01:15:28.320 They're kinder.

01:15:29.460 They're more open.

01:15:31.200 They're more helpful.

01:15:33.520 That that's, that's why we're great.

01:15:35.640 We're good.

01:15:36.600 And when we're good to one another, we can accomplish anything.

01:15:39.860 And I think that was the message, uh, last night in the commercials, it wasn't political,

01:15:46.380 even though somebody might've wanted to make it political on either side.

01:15:50.340 It wasn't really political.

01:15:51.460 It was, Hey, let's find our core and let's be good again.

01:15:55.560 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:16:09.860 Love, courage, truth, Glenn Beck.

01:16:19.340 Progressivism is a disease.

01:16:21.320 I think, um, it's a disease of the mind that, uh, once it takes hold, it's, it's over for

01:16:28.160 you.

01:16:28.680 Canada, I believe is terminally ill with progressivism.

01:16:31.740 Now, um, the U S prognosis is, is really a critical condition, uh, ourselves.

01:16:37.560 Canada's Senate approved changing a line in their English version of their national anthem.

01:16:43.300 Oh, Canada.

01:16:44.760 They wanted to make it gender neutral.

01:16:48.200 The second line of the anthem will now be true Patriot love in all of us command rather

01:16:54.360 than the oppressive and insanely offensive old version, true Patriot love in all thy sons

01:17:01.820 command.

01:17:03.140 Oh my gosh.

01:17:04.520 So now that their anthem isn't sexist anymore, and I am not kidding you, I am not kidding

01:17:11.400 you in Sweden, the, the, the lions.

01:17:16.800 Okay.

01:17:18.400 On their shield.

01:17:19.620 I'm trying to think of a way to say this.

01:17:21.080 The lions on their shield, their crest of their country, which is, I don't know how many centuries

01:17:26.040 old.

01:17:26.540 They have these lions on the shield and it's easy to paint.

01:17:31.280 It's harder to do it with sculpture, but they actually did it.

01:17:36.380 They carved, they, they, they, they, they went and they painted over or they took a chisel

01:17:41.900 and knocked the genitals off of all of the lions because women said it was oppressive.

01:17:48.480 Look it up Canadians.

01:17:55.360 Now that you're not sexist anymore, feel free to sing your national anthem at any time.

01:17:59.800 Somehow I doubt, um, that the Canadian senators checked with the people because that's not

01:18:06.680 the way progressives operate.

01:18:07.940 They just do it.

01:18:08.760 But most Canadian Canadians, I would bet preferred leaving the anthem alone.

01:18:14.640 You know, they've had a song that way for over a century.

01:18:17.420 Nobody is dying because of sexism over the stupid national anthem.

01:18:22.540 This is why we didn't have a national anthem until FDR.

01:18:28.320 Canadian feminist author, Margaret Atwood was one of the people behind this effort.

01:18:33.560 Now she wrote the novel, the handmaid's tale.

01:18:35.380 You know, you can, you can look that one up or insight into her feelings on tradition

01:18:41.560 and faith and, you know, conservatives.

01:18:43.920 She's very, very subtle, but I will tell you, I've defended her recently because she said

01:18:49.440 enough of the Me Too movement.

01:18:51.240 This is getting dangerous.

01:18:53.060 Even she has some common sense.

01:18:57.800 She's the one that, you know, got them to remove this offensive line.

01:19:01.740 This is the dark side of progressivism everywhere.

01:19:06.700 It presumes to know what is best for you, but it's always the agenda of a very few, forced

01:19:13.640 on the majority.

01:19:15.140 Sometimes the agenda or feelings of just one individual.

01:19:20.120 That's when it becomes a dictatorship.

01:19:22.300 But that's where everybody is headed.

01:19:24.220 I mean, the world over.

01:19:25.240 Progressivism claims to say, we're going, what?

01:19:29.680 We're more free.

01:19:32.080 Are we?

01:19:33.840 We're more free now because you're forcing us to live a life that you agree with.

01:19:41.080 You're forcing me to say the things that I may not agree with.

01:19:45.980 That's more free?

01:19:47.020 Yes, we're more free and more healthy.

01:19:50.660 That's what brings Michelle Obama, dictating what your local school, what your cafeteria

01:19:55.700 has to serve.

01:19:57.980 Or a mother in Webster Parish, Louisiana, who got student-led prayer banned from her daughter's

01:20:05.360 high school.

01:20:07.320 Wasn't a problem with anybody.

01:20:08.680 It was a problem with her.

01:20:09.860 Well, now you can't do it.

01:20:11.500 Respect for tradition as a stabilizing, enriching agent in society is one of the key diverging

01:20:21.980 points of the left and the right in the U.S.

01:20:24.640 And decades of progressivism chipping away at the things like religion, the flag, the constitution,

01:20:30.860 patriotism in general, all the way to the last president's apology tour.

01:20:36.140 It has created an enormous backlash from heartland Americans on both the left and the right to

01:20:43.580 the point where a whole section of Trump's State of the Union speech was a lecture on

01:20:48.380 respecting the flag, respecting the anthem, respecting the motto, respecting our traditions.

01:20:54.640 It's sad that we have sunk so low that the State of Union has to be turned into a stinking

01:20:59.500 prep rally.

01:21:03.560 Nothing like going to those pep rallies and we did it.

01:21:06.140 We were USA, we USA, USA, go Bulldogs.

01:21:10.520 We were a pep rally.

01:21:11.440 That's it.

01:21:14.280 It's easy to laugh at the Canadians for wimping out on the national anthem.

01:21:18.920 But look out.

01:21:21.340 Progressivism is a persistent and progressive disease.

01:21:24.740 Don't think that it can't happen here.

01:21:27.380 It's Monday, February 5th.

01:21:36.700 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:40.120 You know, last hour I talked a little bit about arrogance.

01:21:43.960 Self-hating egomaniacs.

01:21:45.640 And we either believe the worst in ourself or we believe that we are just, nothing can conquer

01:21:55.320 us.

01:21:56.620 As people, we're either the best or the worst.

01:22:00.420 And sometimes that combination gets really dangerous when the worst people begin to believe they're

01:22:11.020 the best.

01:22:12.820 And quite honestly, it usually happens because they want to fit in.

01:22:17.580 And individuals want to fit into a group.

01:22:20.220 It's really hard not to be popular.

01:22:23.400 I mean, it's so much easier.

01:22:25.340 It really is.

01:22:26.340 It's so much easier to be popular.

01:22:28.020 Just go along with the crowd.

01:22:29.360 What?

01:22:29.880 Just go along with the crowd.

01:22:34.700 Standing up for something.

01:22:36.200 Standing against something.

01:22:37.740 That's really difficult.

01:22:38.640 And you would think that, you know, the people who have been, who have been forced to live

01:22:46.480 their life in a closet for whatever reason, you would think that they would be the first

01:22:51.540 to say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, let's not shove other people in the closet.

01:22:58.960 You would think, you would think that with the arrogance of the press,

01:23:08.640 that they would remember, they would remember what made them arrogant.

01:23:16.980 It was their successes.

01:23:19.160 Okay.

01:23:20.200 What were your successes?

01:23:21.640 Well, we exposed what?

01:23:23.580 You exposed what?

01:23:31.100 You exposed people of going wrong.

01:23:36.080 But here's what the press believes.

01:23:37.940 They expose a party for going wrong.

01:23:42.640 They expose one ideology for going wrong.

01:23:48.400 To watch the press bend over backwards over something that is really quite simple.

01:23:53.620 And when I say press, I mean press on both sides.

01:23:56.260 I heard people on the right say that everybody, you know, everybody needs to be, this whole

01:24:02.060 thing needs to be dismissed.

01:24:03.120 There's nothing to Carter Page.

01:24:05.460 There's nothing to Flynn.

01:24:07.320 There's nothing to Manafort.

01:24:09.200 Hold on just a second.

01:24:10.620 Wait a minute.

01:24:11.420 What I get from that memo is the government has gone wrong.

01:24:20.160 What I get from the memo, if it is accurate, is that the government has become so arrogant

01:24:27.680 and they are so, they are so in bed with the press and the left that they, they believe that

01:24:35.200 they can get away with anything, that they can go to a FISA court, a secret court, and leave

01:24:42.840 really important things out and no one will care.

01:24:50.080 And the press is so arrogant that they just don't think that their side could ever do it.

01:24:55.940 They're so blind.

01:24:57.160 Have they watched their own movie, the Washington Post?

01:25:02.200 If you haven't seen that movie, you should.

01:25:03.680 It's really good.

01:25:06.880 And it's really, I think it's really fair.

01:25:09.020 The Tom Hanks character is there like, holy cow, Jack Kennedy.

01:25:12.180 I thought Jack Kennedy was a friend.

01:25:13.800 No, no, he wasn't a friend.

01:25:15.360 As it points out in the movie, he was keeping his, he was keeping the people that could make

01:25:20.000 his life and excuse him of a lot of things very close.

01:25:23.280 That's what happened, Bill Bradley.

01:25:25.240 That's what happened.

01:25:26.120 And he figured that out in the movie.

01:25:28.800 But apparently the people in the press don't get that.

01:25:36.120 Why?

01:25:39.560 Because they have an agenda.

01:25:44.020 So the Washington Post, they expose all the president's men.

01:25:48.440 They expose Watergate.

01:25:49.720 And what was Watergate?

01:25:51.460 Watergate was not about a break-in.

01:25:53.660 It was about spying on your competition and then using that information and trying to twist it and use it in the press.

01:26:06.260 Then, after the break-in was discovered, then it was about the president instructing the FBI and Justice Department to go rogue and start to use resources to obstruct justice to make sure that this was all covered up.

01:26:25.960 It was the cover-up that was the cover-up that was the problem.

01:26:29.040 Now, I don't know about you, but boy, man, a lot of this sounds familiar.

01:26:33.760 What is this really about?

01:26:35.780 It's about Russia trying to get information and then using that information in the press to affect the society, to get us all to not believe in the Democrats or the Republicans and to start fighting against each other.

01:26:49.320 And did the FBI and the DOJ do exactly what they were doing in Watergate?

01:27:01.740 Now, if you listen to any of the pundits this weekend, you—absolutely not.

01:27:06.120 That's not possible.

01:27:07.020 How could you possibly say that?

01:27:09.260 Well, I don't know.

01:27:09.780 It's happened before.

01:27:11.400 What makes you so sure it's not happening now?

01:27:13.880 I mean, I want the facts.

01:27:16.380 I don't want all of this.

01:27:17.840 I don't want people drawing conclusions on what's true because I don't know what's true yet.

01:27:24.800 But I know it's true in the past.

01:27:28.820 Our founders knew the First Amendment had to be protected.

01:27:37.060 But that halo of justice that the press gets, man, it's—I mean, it's a little tarnished.

01:27:43.880 Let's just put this in the best terms.

01:27:48.420 Journalists, even the very best, are human.

01:27:51.060 In 1980, the same Washington Post with the same editor, Ben Bradley, he wanted to expand the readership of the Post into the black community.

01:28:05.060 And so the paper made an effort to hire more minority journalists.

01:28:08.320 One of them, her name was Janet Cook.

01:28:10.560 She was a black female reporter from Ohio.

01:28:12.860 She was an aggressive reporter.

01:28:15.060 She was a good writer.

01:28:16.280 She was a fast-rising star.

01:28:19.100 I mean, she was—I mean, this—the Washington Post was in its heyday.

01:28:23.420 And it had a very competitive environment.

01:28:26.020 And she really wanted to break a big story and win a Pulitzer Prize.

01:28:31.180 So she went.

01:28:32.420 She was asked to write a story about D.C.'s growing heroin problem.

01:28:37.900 And she thought, this is great.

01:28:39.540 I can—I'm going to win a Pulitzer on this one.

01:28:43.660 So she went into the inner city of D.C.

01:28:46.620 She went to the places where heroin, the epidemic at the time, was the worst.

01:28:55.780 And she learned that she was—you know, that children were heroin addicts.

01:29:00.260 And she was appalled by this.

01:29:01.560 And then she found a little boy, eight years old, heroin addict.

01:29:07.820 His name was Jimmy.

01:29:09.420 And she knew she had her hook.

01:29:11.540 She could see the Pulitzer.

01:29:15.260 She wrote her feature story called Jimmy's World.

01:29:18.140 And it blew away all of the editors at the Post.

01:29:23.560 Bob Woodward, who is then the assistant managing editor, he's the guy who said, this has to—this has got to be a front-page story.

01:29:31.460 Quoting,

01:30:01.460 He talks about life and clothes and money, the Baltimore O's, and heroin.

01:30:06.360 He's been addicted since the age of five.

01:30:10.440 The readers were hooked and appalled and saddened.

01:30:17.080 The mayor's office instructed the police,

01:30:20.080 we've got to get this boy medical treatment.

01:30:22.960 But Jimmy had disappeared, gone underground.

01:30:30.080 No one knew where he was.

01:30:35.060 Cook said,

01:30:36.080 Ben, you don't understand.

01:30:37.860 I promised them anonymity.

01:30:39.420 I promised them that this wouldn't happen.

01:30:41.160 And now it has.

01:30:42.440 And they've gotten out.

01:30:44.160 Also, mom's boyfriend had threatened, you know, the boy's life if they discovered his whereabouts.

01:30:53.440 Because he's not going to prison.

01:30:54.580 People were even more outraged.

01:31:01.980 Now what was going to happen to Jimmy?

01:31:03.240 A few months later,

01:31:08.540 Cook got her dream.

01:31:12.220 She won her Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.

01:31:14.940 She had to submit some autobiographical information to the prize committee,

01:31:21.680 but there was a slight snag there.

01:31:23.840 The committee contacted the post when they couldn't verify that Cook had graduated

01:31:27.440 from Vassar College magna cum laude.

01:31:31.840 Turns out she only attended Vassar her freshman year.

01:31:34.560 She actually graduated from the University of Toledo with a BA degree,

01:31:37.900 not with a master's degree, as she told the Pulitzer Committee.

01:31:40.740 So they called her in for an explanation.

01:31:51.000 Unfortunately for her, the Washington Post had some real problems,

01:31:58.340 and they knew they were brewing here because her resume lies were the least of her lies.

01:32:03.940 After hours of grilling, she finally confessed that Jimmy's world was entirely made up.

01:32:09.000 A little sandy, brown-haired boy with big, beautiful eyes, needle marks on his arms.

01:32:17.200 None of that was true.

01:32:21.280 So here's the Washington Post,

01:32:24.000 the paper that uncovered Watergate,

01:32:27.580 the biggest political scandal in American history.

01:32:31.060 They failed to even vet her resume.

01:32:34.180 It published a front-page Pulitzer Prize-winning feature story

01:32:41.060 that was 100% made up,

01:32:44.560 and nobody caught it.

01:32:47.480 Well, that can't happen.

01:32:50.760 How could the same place produce a golden standard of journalism during Watergate

01:32:54.820 and the worst-case scenario of journalism with Jimmy's World?

01:32:58.400 The answer is, we're all human.

01:33:04.380 We're all human.

01:33:07.320 Remarkably, neither Ben Bradley or Bob Woodward resigned over the incident.

01:33:12.120 This is a different time.

01:33:13.880 And maybe all the president's men halo.

01:33:17.460 Maybe that helped save them.

01:33:19.220 I tell you this story not to say,

01:33:23.840 see, it's all fake news.

01:33:25.420 Because it's not.

01:33:27.140 We have to get past this idea

01:33:28.860 that one side of the aisle's news is always false.

01:33:33.400 Sometimes it's true.

01:33:35.240 Sometimes it's not.

01:33:36.920 Sometimes it's true in the newspapers.

01:33:39.180 Sometimes it's true about the journalists.

01:33:41.500 Sometimes it's not.

01:33:42.460 Sometimes it's true about the government.

01:33:44.620 Sometimes it's not.

01:33:45.500 But we know this.

01:33:47.020 If there isn't someone standing guard that says,

01:33:50.180 you know what?

01:33:50.460 I'm going to vet that.

01:33:52.700 You know, hang on just a second.

01:33:54.400 I'm just not going to go.

01:33:55.500 You're my friend, and I love you and everything.

01:33:57.240 But I got to do my job.

01:33:59.060 That's something that's not right here.

01:34:05.120 Journalists, do your damn job.

01:34:09.200 And America will be a better place for it.

01:34:15.500 Let me tell you a little bit about SimpliSafe,

01:34:22.120 the home security company

01:34:23.160 that has just reinvented their product.

01:34:26.520 I mean, this is really good.

01:34:27.620 I have watched them grow from a company of 10 people

01:34:30.040 to the fastest-growing home security company

01:34:32.400 in the nation,

01:34:33.280 protecting now over 2 million people.

01:34:36.060 And I'm really excited to tell you

01:34:37.340 they have a brand-new home security system.

01:34:39.820 It's the all-new SimpliSafe.

01:34:41.500 It has been completely rebuilt and redesigned.

01:34:43.820 They've added new safeguards to the products.

01:34:46.860 And what it does is it protects against power outages

01:34:49.900 and downed Wi-Fi and cut landlines.

01:34:52.180 And they've taken bats and hammers to it.

01:34:54.220 It's really good.

01:34:55.180 It's really small.

01:34:56.780 And yet it's really, really super powerful.

01:34:59.720 It's been redesigned, practically invisible.

01:35:03.560 Now, what's really, truly amazing

01:35:05.400 is they have spent years and years and years

01:35:07.400 and years developing this.

01:35:08.560 And you're still going to get the incredible same price.

01:35:12.820 24-7 protection, $15 a month.

01:35:15.500 There is no contract.

01:35:16.700 You own the system.

01:35:18.120 Just go to the website at SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:35:21.320 Scroll down.

01:35:22.040 See how much money you are going to save.

01:35:24.600 It's really remarkable.

01:35:27.880 See how much money you're going to save

01:35:29.260 in the first year of having a SimpliSafe home security system.

01:35:33.220 SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:35:34.460 That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:35:38.160 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:35:44.600 Glenn Beck.

01:35:47.400 All right, coming up in a second,

01:35:48.700 we're going to take on the Super Bowl.

01:35:53.640 It was like living in a parallel universe.

01:35:56.000 The game was good and the commercials sucked.

01:35:58.480 The Patriots lost and the Eagles won.

01:36:00.800 I mean, what happened?

01:36:02.300 It's not the way it's supposed to work out.

01:36:04.460 We'll talk a little bit about that

01:36:06.480 and the messages that we found in the commercials

01:36:10.100 that I think are interesting this year

01:36:13.120 and the game itself coming up in just a second.

01:36:21.320 Glenn Beck.

01:36:23.320 Mercury.

01:36:28.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:36:30.480 What kind of parallel universe do we live in

01:36:33.700 where the game is really good and exciting,

01:36:36.500 the commercials are bad,

01:36:38.080 halftime is good and non-controversial,

01:36:41.840 the Patriots lose,

01:36:44.800 and the Eagles win.

01:36:46.440 Oh, and a dead guy did a duet

01:36:49.220 during halftime.

01:36:51.120 Halftime, I mean...

01:36:52.300 Which people are upset by.

01:36:54.040 Yeah.

01:36:54.520 I mean, it's not like Prince is deity, okay?

01:36:58.520 Well, I think he said that he didn't want that.

01:37:00.660 He was a popular pop star who died of an overdose.

01:37:04.220 I mean, well, he didn't want the duet thing being done,

01:37:07.940 but that's sort of not what he did.

01:37:09.780 He just projected him on a big sheet.

01:37:11.940 He did a duet.

01:37:13.780 He sang with him.

01:37:15.280 I thought it was great.

01:37:16.220 That's a duet.

01:37:17.100 I loved it.

01:37:18.120 I loved it.

01:37:18.440 I thought it was great.

01:37:19.780 I mean, it was amazing

01:37:20.560 because how did the Prince estate

01:37:22.720 lose control of that?

01:37:25.340 Yeah.

01:37:25.620 So they couldn't stop it.

01:37:26.720 And Martin Luther King

01:37:28.000 with that Dodge Ram commercial,

01:37:30.240 his family, you know this, Pat.

01:37:31.600 If there's anybody

01:37:32.440 that they should be pissed off at,

01:37:34.060 it's them.

01:37:34.620 It's the King family.

01:37:35.960 Yeah.

01:37:36.060 They're the ones who okayed it.

01:37:37.280 They sold it.

01:37:38.060 Right.

01:37:38.540 Yeah.

01:37:38.880 Or at least okayed it.

01:37:40.420 They made money from that.

01:37:42.420 They made a lot of money.

01:37:43.340 They made a lot of money from that.

01:37:45.140 I refuse to hear that.

01:37:46.280 Yeah.

01:37:46.580 Well, it's true.

01:37:47.520 A lot of people do refuse to hear it,

01:37:49.740 but they need to.

01:37:51.260 Really?

01:37:51.860 Okay.

01:37:52.180 It's not Dodge you should be pissed off at.

01:37:54.600 It's the King family.

01:37:55.720 So did you see that they had to grease,

01:37:57.760 they actually used Crisco

01:37:59.480 to grease the light poles in Philadelphia?

01:38:02.800 Yeah.

01:38:03.060 So people wouldn't climb up them?

01:38:04.080 Yeah.

01:38:04.480 Yeah.

01:38:04.780 And they did anyway?

01:38:05.760 Yeah, they did anyway.

01:38:06.620 They, I don't know if you saw this,

01:38:08.100 they turned over cars,

01:38:09.220 they set things up.

01:38:10.100 Set them on fire?

01:38:10.720 Yeah.

01:38:10.880 I mean, they, they did, they did,

01:38:12.260 they did $5 million of improvements

01:38:14.640 to Philadelphia last night.

01:38:16.780 But I'm, yeah, yeah.

01:38:20.060 You get that joke.

01:38:21.080 If you lived in Philadelphia.

01:38:22.260 Yeah.

01:38:22.900 Wow.

01:38:23.700 I've never understood though,

01:38:24.900 the setting your city on fire

01:38:26.480 because you won the Superbowl.

01:38:27.680 No.

01:38:27.820 I don't get that.

01:38:28.600 No.

01:38:28.820 And I, you know,

01:38:29.420 I watched last night,

01:38:31.120 tweeted this out.

01:38:31.780 I just love dummies on tape.

01:38:33.920 You know,

01:38:34.160 I love people who are doing something illegal

01:38:36.800 and they're like,

01:38:37.880 here,

01:38:38.360 give me a Facebook.

01:38:41.720 It's not going to work out well for you,

01:38:43.380 dude.

01:38:43.640 It's just not going to work out well.

01:38:44.940 I'm glad they do it,

01:38:46.260 but it's stupid.

01:38:46.940 Oh, it's stupid.

01:38:47.880 It's wildly entertaining.

01:38:49.400 Yeah, it is.

01:38:50.560 Wildly entertaining.

01:38:51.100 Did you get the feeling last night

01:38:54.200 that this was the real life

01:38:56.140 Apollo Creed,

01:38:57.940 Rocky Balboa?

01:38:59.720 Yeah.

01:39:00.780 I mean,

01:39:01.140 all the way through it,

01:39:02.920 I'm like,

01:39:03.880 Tom Brady is Apollo Creed.

01:39:05.680 He's the guy who's,

01:39:06.860 you know,

01:39:07.140 supposed to win.

01:39:08.040 He's got everything

01:39:08.880 and here comes Philadelphia.

01:39:11.380 With a guy with a second

01:39:14.340 or third string quarterback

01:39:15.740 who does incredibly well

01:39:18.100 and pulls it out for him.

01:39:19.400 Yeah,

01:39:19.580 it was like Apollo Creed and Rocky.

01:39:21.780 So can I ask you

01:39:22.800 a politically incorrect question?

01:39:24.900 Mm-hmm.

01:39:25.940 What happened?

01:39:27.520 I mean,

01:39:27.800 Philadelphia,

01:39:28.460 what happened?

01:39:28.940 With third string,

01:39:30.600 what happened?

01:39:31.620 Is this what's been going on?

01:39:34.040 You know,

01:39:34.380 they've all come together

01:39:36.660 and I'm not saying

01:39:37.460 this is God making them win,

01:39:39.720 but they all came together

01:39:41.520 and united around something.

01:39:44.020 They did.

01:39:44.700 Something bigger and better.

01:39:45.760 Yeah.

01:39:46.320 Well,

01:39:46.560 that's what we were just talking about

01:39:48.260 this in the other room.

01:39:49.180 I mean,

01:39:49.520 this has been a really spiritual year

01:39:51.020 for the Eagles

01:39:51.540 and it may have bonded them together

01:39:54.600 in a way that other teams

01:39:56.520 weren't bonded together.

01:39:58.180 and I'm not saying

01:40:00.720 that God wanted them

01:40:02.040 to win the Super Bowl.

01:40:03.280 Yeah,

01:40:03.480 I don't think he cares.

01:40:04.620 But for them being on his side,

01:40:06.900 you know,

01:40:07.340 it doesn't hurt.

01:40:08.780 Right?

01:40:09.580 I mean,

01:40:10.360 when you,

01:40:11.060 well,

01:40:11.240 I think the,

01:40:11.900 I think when you commit your life to God,

01:40:13.800 good things are going to happen.

01:40:15.340 You know that.

01:40:16.120 well,

01:40:17.640 I mean,

01:40:20.080 eh,

01:40:20.680 eh,

01:40:21.260 you know,

01:40:22.720 I'm just thinking of,

01:40:23.580 you know,

01:40:25.120 Lincoln,

01:40:25.900 Martin Luther King,

01:40:27.700 Paul.

01:40:29.660 Jesus.

01:40:30.560 I mean,

01:40:31.160 yes,

01:40:31.980 good things all happened in the end,

01:40:33.840 but they,

01:40:34.840 you know,

01:40:35.220 it wasn't,

01:40:35.820 it wasn't like they were like,

01:40:36.840 hey,

01:40:37.060 I'm going to Disney World.

01:40:38.160 It doesn't necessarily mean

01:40:39.280 you're going to win the Super Bowl.

01:40:40.080 Yeah,

01:40:40.480 it's not,

01:40:40.960 you know,

01:40:41.220 Paul wasn't like,

01:40:42.100 hey,

01:40:42.980 hey,

01:40:43.500 and after they hang me up,

01:40:44.880 they crucify me upside down.

01:40:46.700 I'm going to see Mickey Mouse.

01:40:48.420 There were some good times in between though.

01:40:49.840 Yeah.

01:40:50.140 There were some good times in between.

01:40:51.620 Yeah.

01:40:52.160 Yeah.

01:40:53.720 Between the road and the hanging upside down.

01:40:57.100 There's some good things.

01:40:58.500 Can I ask you something?

01:41:00.560 Once you've been crucified,

01:41:02.160 doesn't that kind of,

01:41:03.340 kind of,

01:41:04.000 you know,

01:41:04.240 all the good times.

01:41:05.060 You know,

01:41:05.140 the other good times.

01:41:06.440 Yeah.

01:41:06.840 You know,

01:41:07.000 you're looking back on your life and you're like,

01:41:08.800 those are good times.

01:41:09.620 It ended in crucifixion,

01:41:11.080 which wasn't always the best.

01:41:15.240 So what happens to Tom Brady now?

01:41:17.260 I think he goes to another Super Bowl next year.

01:41:20.280 I think that's what happens to him.

01:41:22.120 He'll be back for his ninth next year

01:41:24.140 and probably win that one.

01:41:26.400 They just can't be stopped.

01:41:28.160 The Patriots just can't be stopped.

01:41:30.200 I don't understand it.

01:41:32.060 I would just like to remind you that

01:41:34.140 less than 24 hours ago,

01:41:36.660 they were stopped.

01:41:37.240 But they were in it again.

01:41:39.820 I mean,

01:41:40.020 they have lost three of these now,

01:41:41.840 but they won five.

01:41:43.660 So they'll be back again.

01:41:45.760 It's already eight in 14 years.

01:41:48.200 I'm a little sick of them.

01:41:49.340 Can I ask you this?

01:41:50.760 Can I ask you this?

01:41:52.700 Did you have any idea how screwed up we were as a nation?

01:41:56.680 Did you know that Justin Timberlake

01:42:00.200 is now known as the King of Pop?

01:42:02.780 No.

01:42:03.400 Oh, my gosh.

01:42:04.020 Yes.

01:42:04.720 Yes.

01:42:05.320 I got the lecture of my life

01:42:08.480 from my children last night.

01:42:10.400 From Mary, who is 30,

01:42:12.800 all the way down to Cheyenne,

01:42:14.680 who is 12.

01:42:15.600 But Justin Timberlake is the King of Pop.

01:42:17.200 Is the King of Pop.

01:42:18.160 That's what they call him.

01:42:18.920 Dad, he is the biggest star of our generation.

01:42:22.300 He is our Michael Jackson.

01:42:23.540 They call him the King of Pop.

01:42:24.980 No, they don't.

01:42:26.040 No, they do not.

01:42:27.920 Justin Timberlake.

01:42:30.140 I can name one song.

01:42:31.800 I knew the one.

01:42:33.480 Bring Sexy back.

01:42:34.740 That's about it.

01:42:35.360 I don't even know that one.

01:42:36.220 I didn't know the Trolls one

01:42:37.240 because we haven't watched that.

01:42:38.200 Oh, I've watched Trolls,

01:42:39.380 so I knew that one.

01:42:40.380 Wow.

01:42:40.880 Yeah.

01:42:41.180 I watched that last night.

01:42:42.280 I thought, you know, he's good,

01:42:43.740 but I'm like,

01:42:44.320 he's the King of Pop now?

01:42:46.000 Really?

01:42:46.340 That guy?

01:42:47.080 Wow.

01:42:48.440 The NSYNC guy?

01:42:50.160 The King of Pop guy

01:42:51.220 needs to have better audio people

01:42:52.920 because his audio was really bad last night.

01:42:56.880 That's weird because I didn't know.

01:42:58.940 Uh-uh.

01:42:59.420 Uh-uh.

01:42:59.920 No, I didn't.

01:43:00.940 I watched the whole thing.

01:43:02.440 Didn't, didn't, didn't catch it.

01:43:04.400 Didn't catch it.

01:43:05.480 Yeah, it was out of phase and too low,

01:43:08.160 and it was just really bad.

01:43:10.540 The King of Pop should ask for better audio people,

01:43:13.620 I think, next time.

01:43:14.820 I thought it was pretty good.

01:43:16.140 Yeah, it wasn't bad.

01:43:17.580 It wasn't terrible.

01:43:18.220 And I did like the Prince thing,

01:43:20.500 which I guess I'm not supposed to.

01:43:21.200 And I liked the thing when he went up into the crowd

01:43:22.820 with a little kid, you know,

01:43:23.820 that little kid's a star now and stuff.

01:43:25.740 That was cool.

01:43:26.280 I couldn't help but looking,

01:43:27.820 watch that kid.

01:43:29.260 He took a picture.

01:43:30.100 He took a selfie.

01:43:31.180 But then,

01:43:32.660 here's Justin Timberlake.

01:43:34.060 The Super Bowl.

01:43:35.260 The Super Bowl.

01:43:36.640 He's on camera next to Justin Timberlake,

01:43:41.040 who I don't know if you know this,

01:43:41.900 is the King of Pop.

01:43:43.300 And he gets his selfie,

01:43:45.140 and then he spends the rest of the time

01:43:46.960 looking down at his camera

01:43:48.500 and looking at the photo,

01:43:51.580 or I don't know what he's doing.

01:43:52.760 Well, Timberlake is right there next to him.

01:43:54.120 Yeah, he's looking at his phone.

01:43:55.660 That's how we live now, right?

01:43:56.760 Right.

01:43:57.080 We live through our phone.

01:43:58.660 Dude, he's right next to you.

01:44:01.100 This is happening in real time.

01:44:03.040 I know you got your picture.

01:44:04.640 How about seeing the rest of it?

01:44:07.780 Interact with him.

01:44:08.640 It was crazy.

01:44:09.880 Yeah.

01:44:10.160 It was crazy.

01:44:11.000 That is where we are, though.

01:44:12.720 I see that.

01:44:13.660 You see that all the time.

01:44:15.320 People go to Disneyland

01:44:16.380 and live it through their phone.

01:44:18.680 I just want...

01:44:19.400 I'm just not...

01:44:20.560 I just like to live the moment.

01:44:22.340 I don't...

01:44:23.580 Of course, I'm not the right person for that,

01:44:24.900 because I never use the phone,

01:44:26.640 and neither do you.

01:44:27.600 No.

01:44:27.840 So we're not the right people

01:44:28.940 to be talking about this.

01:44:30.840 No.

01:44:31.840 But when you think about

01:44:33.600 who else could there be

01:44:34.760 for King of Pop

01:44:36.360 for that title?

01:44:40.460 You don't have to give that title out.

01:44:42.660 I guess not.

01:44:43.280 I mean, look,

01:44:43.640 if there's a plague,

01:44:45.180 okay,

01:44:45.560 if there's a plague

01:44:46.500 and there's only like

01:44:48.040 a hundred of us left

01:44:49.540 and Pat and I

01:44:50.980 are the most talented,

01:44:52.880 you don't name me

01:44:54.660 or Pat

01:44:55.300 the King of Pop.

01:44:56.500 You just don't.

01:44:57.840 We relinquish that.

01:44:59.160 I don't think we have to tell anybody that.

01:44:59.900 No, there's no kingdom

01:45:01.420 that must be given over

01:45:03.660 once the last king dies.

01:45:06.480 You know,

01:45:06.940 it just

01:45:07.300 doesn't work that way.

01:45:09.820 Could I ask you a question

01:45:10.940 about

01:45:11.380 the

01:45:12.480 Trump investigation

01:45:13.740 and the FISA memo?

01:45:15.280 Yeah.

01:45:15.480 What are your thoughts?

01:45:17.000 I thought it was anticlimactic

01:45:18.800 as usual.

01:45:19.960 I thought the...

01:45:20.960 I mean,

01:45:21.800 what did the memo really tell us?

01:45:23.140 And now they're doing

01:45:25.700 an anti-memo memo

01:45:28.960 against that memo.

01:45:30.940 Yeah.

01:45:31.380 And that's probably

01:45:32.780 not going to be a big deal either.

01:45:34.660 It just didn't seem

01:45:36.060 to have

01:45:36.800 a lot of there there.

01:45:39.820 You know,

01:45:40.140 it's really interesting

01:45:40.800 because I was watching the news

01:45:42.040 and I didn't relate

01:45:42.700 to either side.

01:45:44.160 Yeah, I don't either.

01:45:44.640 I watched it on Fox

01:45:46.640 and I thought,

01:45:47.060 okay,

01:45:47.200 I'm going to get some information

01:45:48.200 on Fox.

01:45:48.920 No,

01:45:49.300 I really didn't.

01:45:49.940 What I got was,

01:45:50.600 this is the biggest thing

01:45:52.400 of all time

01:45:53.400 and all investigations

01:45:55.080 must end

01:45:56.300 and Donald Trump

01:45:57.580 should be given

01:45:58.780 a second term

01:45:59.860 as an apology.

01:46:01.040 It was like,

01:46:01.600 wait,

01:46:02.240 what?

01:46:03.300 Then I flip over

01:46:04.900 and the mainstream media

01:46:06.600 is just as bad.

01:46:08.240 There is absolutely

01:46:09.280 nothing to this.

01:46:10.640 This shows

01:46:11.540 that Donald Trump

01:46:12.940 is the guy

01:46:14.040 we thought he was.

01:46:15.300 No,

01:46:15.720 it doesn't say that either.

01:46:17.140 No.

01:46:18.060 It didn't say much

01:46:18.960 of anything to me.

01:46:19.620 It did about Carter Page.

01:46:22.100 Yeah,

01:46:22.360 but he was under investigation

01:46:24.000 prior to the campaign.

01:46:27.120 I know,

01:46:27.420 but it only goes to this

01:46:29.560 and this has nothing

01:46:30.360 to do with Trump

01:46:31.100 that you had Flynn

01:46:33.500 who was doing

01:46:34.960 nefarious things.

01:46:35.920 Yeah,

01:46:36.060 we already know that.

01:46:36.820 You had Manafort

01:46:38.020 doing nefarious things

01:46:39.040 and you had Carter Page

01:46:40.420 who may have been

01:46:41.660 doing nefarious things

01:46:42.780 but he's so dumb

01:46:43.760 that he may not have known it.

01:46:45.100 Oh my gosh.

01:46:45.340 So it shows

01:46:46.580 that Russia

01:46:47.640 was trying to target

01:46:50.080 exactly,

01:46:51.360 let me flip this

01:46:52.060 away from Trump,

01:46:53.420 exactly the way

01:46:54.480 they were trying

01:46:55.020 to target Hillary

01:46:56.500 and according to the FBI

01:46:58.280 a vast number

01:47:00.540 of people

01:47:01.420 in Congress

01:47:02.240 and in the Senate

01:47:03.160 for Uranium One.

01:47:05.300 They have a real network

01:47:07.640 that is trying

01:47:08.740 to infiltrate

01:47:09.620 at the highest levels.

01:47:10.980 That's what that shows.

01:47:12.320 And that's what

01:47:12.720 we should be focused on.

01:47:13.700 Correct.

01:47:14.020 But we're not.

01:47:15.380 Not at all.

01:47:16.100 No.

01:47:16.500 Nobody's even talking

01:47:17.240 about that.

01:47:17.820 Nobody's even worried

01:47:18.580 about the fact

01:47:19.120 that the Russians

01:47:19.740 are involved

01:47:20.560 in our system.

01:47:22.300 And I don't think

01:47:23.500 we're going to go

01:47:23.960 anywhere with this.

01:47:24.680 I don't either.

01:47:25.380 I think

01:47:25.760 both sides

01:47:28.500 have just drawn

01:47:29.380 this impossible line

01:47:31.000 that it either means

01:47:33.400 nothing at all

01:47:35.580 or it means

01:47:37.680 everything.

01:47:39.580 What?

01:47:40.300 No.

01:47:41.420 No,

01:47:41.920 this memo doesn't.

01:47:42.720 release

01:47:43.900 the actual

01:47:45.020 FISA documents.

01:47:46.960 By the way,

01:47:47.940 you know how they said

01:47:48.700 this is going to hurt

01:47:50.760 national security.

01:47:51.480 People might die

01:47:52.080 because of this.

01:47:53.580 What?

01:47:54.800 I can't.

01:47:55.960 No.

01:47:56.340 You read the whole thing,

01:47:57.260 right?

01:47:57.520 Yes.

01:47:57.860 There was nothing redacted.

01:47:59.320 There was nothing.

01:47:59.960 There was nothing to see.

01:48:00.940 There was no names.

01:48:01.580 There was nothing.

01:48:02.200 Nothing security-wise

01:48:03.260 at all.

01:48:04.220 Nothing.

01:48:04.520 We're just continually

01:48:07.220 light to it.

01:48:07.640 So why was the DOJ

01:48:09.220 and the FBI

01:48:10.040 so upset?

01:48:10.940 Why did they say

01:48:11.620 this was so dangerous

01:48:12.740 and so reckless?

01:48:13.740 What was in it?

01:48:15.980 They just didn't want

01:48:16.860 it released.

01:48:18.160 Right.

01:48:18.580 Which kind of

01:48:20.020 makes the case.

01:48:21.140 It does.

01:48:21.600 Doesn't it?

01:50:39.080 So glad you've joined us.

01:50:40.400 Let's go to Minnesota

01:50:41.660 and Brian.

01:50:43.440 Hello, Brian.

01:50:45.200 Hello, Mr. Beck.

01:50:46.120 How are you?

01:50:46.620 I'm very good.

01:50:47.200 How are you?

01:50:47.600 Thanks for holding.

01:50:48.960 You bet.

01:50:49.660 Hey, I just wanted to say,

01:50:51.020 I wanted to preface this with,

01:50:52.720 I'm at work

01:50:54.020 and I don't listen to you

01:50:55.360 very often

01:50:56.020 and I think it's

01:50:57.160 a bit of serendipity

01:50:58.780 that I happened to

01:50:59.720 listen to you

01:51:00.620 a while ago.

01:51:02.500 The first thing I heard

01:51:03.640 was MLK

01:51:04.280 saying something about

01:51:05.440 having a heart full of grace.

01:51:07.680 Yeah.

01:51:08.500 And then,

01:51:09.220 and then you talked about

01:51:11.260 being honest with yourself

01:51:12.520 and you went on

01:51:15.400 on that line

01:51:16.320 for quite some time.

01:51:17.140 I served our country

01:51:18.600 in the 2nd

01:51:19.240 and the 75th Ranger Regiment

01:51:20.600 and I've

01:51:22.240 been honest with myself

01:51:24.420 ever since

01:51:25.880 I got out

01:51:27.000 I've hated myself.

01:51:29.480 I've despised myself

01:51:30.860 and I'm

01:51:32.080 a husband

01:51:33.340 and I'm a father

01:51:34.240 and what you said,

01:51:36.980 you know,

01:51:37.260 it's hard for people

01:51:38.340 to reach me

01:51:39.760 at a certain level

01:51:41.380 because I don't want

01:51:43.360 people to

01:51:43.900 because I

01:51:44.780 I like to keep people

01:51:46.040 away from me

01:51:47.200 except for my wife

01:51:47.960 and my daughter.

01:51:49.220 I'm not a huge

01:51:50.200 people person.

01:51:51.620 I

01:51:51.660 I don't like people

01:51:53.440 and I think it's because

01:51:54.260 I don't like myself.

01:51:57.260 I've never really had

01:51:58.400 an epiphany moment

01:51:59.340 in my life.

01:52:00.180 I certainly never

01:52:01.320 expected one

01:52:02.080 from

01:52:02.440 from Glenn Beck

01:52:03.700 but that's what happened.

01:52:06.740 I had to pull my truck over

01:52:08.560 and it moved me to tears

01:52:10.020 to realize

01:52:11.500 how much I

01:52:13.860 can't stand myself

01:52:15.760 and how much

01:52:17.160 of an issue I have

01:52:20.140 being

01:52:21.800 the kind of person

01:52:24.960 that I need to be

01:52:25.840 to guide my family

01:52:28.380 and

01:52:30.660 all because of the fact

01:52:33.180 that I don't serve anymore

01:52:34.700 and I feel

01:52:36.060 useless.

01:52:37.180 I feel emasculated

01:52:38.820 and

01:52:39.860 and

01:52:40.920 and I have

01:52:42.080 no idea

01:52:42.860 how I got to this point

01:52:43.920 today.

01:52:44.440 I have no idea

01:52:45.440 why I'm at this point

01:52:46.860 right now

01:52:47.380 because I certainly

01:52:48.880 didn't expect it

01:52:49.840 and I certainly

01:52:50.920 didn't expect it

01:52:51.740 at the time

01:52:52.900 that it happened

01:52:53.520 but I'm glad

01:52:55.160 that it did.

01:52:57.840 Brian

01:52:58.360 I just wanted to let

01:52:59.260 you know that.

01:53:00.040 I just have to tell you

01:53:00.920 you're not alone

01:53:01.700 brother

01:53:02.060 and I have been

01:53:03.020 in exactly

01:53:04.060 your place.

01:53:05.260 I've been there

01:53:06.720 and it gets better.

01:53:09.380 It really does.

01:53:10.740 You just

01:53:11.100 now that you've

01:53:11.760 recognized it

01:53:12.520 now you can start

01:53:14.100 taking baby steps

01:53:15.180 and a year from now

01:53:16.700 you won't recognize

01:53:17.660 how great your life is.

01:53:19.400 Thanks for calling.

01:53:22.360 Glenn

01:53:22.920 Beck

01:53:23.780 Mercury
