The Glenn Beck Program - 3⧸10⧸17 - Full Show

00:00:00.520 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:00:05.000 Hello America from Austin and South by Southwest.

00:00:10.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:12.520 We have a few things to talk about.

00:00:14.860 Thank goodness Orrin Hatch has decided he's going to run again.

00:00:19.940 He's only going to be 88 when he finishes this tour of duty.

00:00:25.580 I have what I believe was the catalyst to get him to run coming up in a second.

00:00:34.200 We also want to talk about the new King Kong movie.

00:00:37.320 Nagin is Uncle Sam.

00:00:39.520 A great story on GlennBeck.com.

00:00:42.500 We'll talk Scientology, Samantha Bee, and the cancer haircut.

00:00:49.960 And what else do we have?

00:00:52.740 I mean, do you need more?

00:00:55.580 One incredible show.

00:00:58.520 Three hours to jam-pack about 20 minutes of really great information in.

00:01:04.760 And we're going to do that beginning right now.

00:01:07.200 I will make a stand.

00:01:10.220 I will raise my voice.

00:01:12.560 I will hold your hand.

00:01:14.960 Because we are one.

00:01:16.800 I will be my drum.

00:01:19.020 I have made my choice.

00:01:21.040 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:29.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:33.980 From behind my cardboard microphone. 1.00

00:01:36.780 Hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

00:01:38.220 And welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. 1.00

00:01:39.660 Glad you're here.

00:01:40.260 Let's start with...

00:01:44.080 We could talk about Michael Flynn.

00:01:46.600 Anybody want to talk about Michael Flynn today and how he kept information secret?

00:01:51.540 That he didn't tell the government that he was actually working for Turkey?

00:01:57.140 While we...

00:01:58.200 No, we don't need to talk about that.

00:01:59.760 Why care about that?

00:02:00.920 Let me talk to you about Orrin Hatch.

00:02:05.420 See what you think of this theory.

00:02:06.820 Pat, you'll relate to this.

00:02:08.440 See what you think of my favorite theory.

00:02:09.980 You're trying to figure out why he's running again?

00:02:12.300 Yes. 0.94

00:02:12.800 How about that he's a power-hungry douchebag? 0.97

00:02:15.040 How about that? 0.96

00:02:17.420 I think that explains it pretty well.

00:02:18.980 No, I was...

00:02:19.440 Okay, we could go with that. 0.99

00:02:21.760 Yes, we could go with he's a power-hungry douchebag. 0.76

00:02:24.100 Or we could perhaps look a little deeper than the douchebagginess. 0.81

00:02:29.560 Really?

00:02:30.020 You think there's more to it than that?

00:02:31.840 I do.

00:02:32.340 I don't know.

00:02:32.800 I actually do.

00:02:33.540 I don't know.

00:02:33.780 I actually do.

00:02:34.600 Here it is.

00:02:36.180 Who did...

00:02:37.580 Who is our new Russian ambassador?

00:02:41.440 John Huntsman, right?

00:02:42.760 Oh, yeah.

00:02:43.420 John Huntsman Jr.

00:02:45.460 John Huntsman Jr.

00:02:46.640 was just selected to be our new Russian ambassador.

00:02:50.160 So he was our Chinese ambassador.

00:02:52.180 Now he's our Russian ambassador, being groomed by the progressives on the Republican side,

00:03:00.300 I believe, to yet come back again and unite the country and run for president of the United

00:03:06.960 States.

00:03:07.420 Who better to serve us than him in some form or another?

00:03:11.820 He knows the Chinese.

00:03:13.240 He knows the Russians.

00:03:14.080 He knows them best.

00:03:16.200 Okay.

00:03:16.360 So if John Huntsman is out, somebody better keep John Huntsman's seat warm.

00:03:25.220 And I believe it's Orrin Hatch.

00:03:27.860 I really, truly believe if John Huntsman wasn't selected as the Russian ambassador, he would

00:03:36.420 have been running for Orrin Hatch's seat.

00:03:39.480 And Orrin, it would have been a gentleman's agreement of, Orrin, you've done really well,

00:03:45.160 and I'd like to continue on your great work, and I'll take on from here.

00:03:51.860 And they're pretty like-minded.

00:03:53.220 That does make some sense.

00:03:54.360 Yes, yes.

00:03:55.200 And so because John Huntsman is going to Russia instead, Orrin Hatch is going to bless the

00:04:05.260 nation with yet another 400 years of service.

00:04:09.780 Yeah.

00:04:10.660 So.

00:04:11.340 He's only been a senator since the Pilgrims arrived. 0.99

00:04:14.220 So it hasn't been that long.

00:04:16.400 Yeah.

00:04:16.700 No, it hasn't.

00:04:17.700 You know.

00:04:18.040 Experience is important.

00:04:19.180 It is.

00:04:19.600 You know.

00:04:19.980 It is important.

00:04:20.540 He was actually on the boat that arrived just before the Pilgrims.

00:04:24.800 He was on the scout boat.

00:04:26.680 Well, you want to have somebody who knows the system in office.

00:04:30.700 And he does know the system.

00:04:32.940 I'll give you that, Pat.

00:04:34.060 He knows the system.

00:04:35.340 Yes, he does.

00:04:35.760 He knows it.

00:04:36.580 Let me switch gears and, but anyway, Pat, you may be right.

00:04:41.380 It may be just the, what did you say? 0.96

00:04:43.800 Power hungry douchebag. 0.95

00:04:45.520 Yes, that's it. 0.98

00:04:46.300 Might be just that.

00:04:46.900 Might be that.

00:04:47.520 All right.

00:04:47.660 Samantha Bee was in the news and she made fun of a guy with brain cancer at CPAC.

00:04:58.940 Now, that's the way the media would have you believe it, that she heartlessly made fun 0.93

00:05:04.620 of a man with brain cancer for having a Nazi haircut.

00:05:08.340 It's very reminiscent of Glenn Beck made fun and said, I hate 9-11 victims.

00:05:17.660 Remember that?

00:05:19.900 It's very similar to that.

00:05:21.360 Or a thousand other things that we have said.

00:05:25.260 I want you to know Sam Bee is a friend of mine.

00:05:28.980 So, you know, full frontal nudity on that one.

00:05:31.740 And I know how delicious full frontal nudity is with me, but I want you.

00:05:37.840 Yes, it's delicious.

00:05:39.520 Why are people making retching noises around me?

00:05:43.860 So, I just want you to know that she is a friend of mine, but that's not why I'm defending her.

00:05:48.220 I will defend anyone who is either taken out of context in comedy or unfairly charged.

00:05:57.380 First of all, it wasn't her.

00:05:59.860 It was a recorded piece done by some, you know, comedy correspondent.

00:06:05.840 And this was one guy in a series of people that were there that had this style of haircut.

00:06:12.800 There is no way she knew this kid had cancer.

00:06:16.100 He was going in or had just gone in for his first treatment of chemo.

00:06:21.320 He has a great sense of humor about it.

00:06:25.480 And I want to talk about him because I think he's a hero.

00:06:28.140 And she apologized if I can.

00:06:30.340 I want to say what she said.

00:06:33.540 First of all, what was said was last year at CPAC, it was dominated by Ted Cruz supporters and chirpy little bow ties.

00:06:41.720 This year, the bow ties are gone and replaced by Nazi hair. 0.79

00:06:45.200 And it showed him the brother or I'm sorry, the sister of the guy that of one of the people shown in the clip wrote to Sam on Twitter and said, when I am Sam B makes fun of your brother for having a Nazi hair, he actually has stage four brain cancer.

00:07:04.580 But whatever floats your boat.

00:07:06.940 Samantha B, I talked to her yesterday.

00:07:08.700 Samantha B wrote immediately, we deeply apologize for offending you and Kyle.

00:07:14.600 We only learned of his condition today and we have removed him from the piece.

00:07:19.080 What else can she do?

00:07:22.520 It wasn't intentional.

00:07:25.260 It was, you know, a mistake that could not have been avoided.

00:07:29.880 And yes, she's making fun of us.

00:07:32.860 Now, let me show you how Kyle handled it.

00:07:35.740 While everybody else is ranting and raving, and I'm only defending because I've been on the receiving end of this stick.

00:07:45.660 As everybody else is ranting and raving, here's what Kyle wrote.

00:07:50.080 I love this guy.

00:07:51.960 I am Sam B.

00:07:53.260 Please delete this episode.

00:07:55.160 I look like a balding potato.

00:07:59.480 I love that. 0.60

00:08:01.020 That's awesome.

00:08:01.840 The next one was, I am Sam B.

00:08:03.860 Also, it's not a Nazi haircut.

00:08:06.220 Richard Spencer's is, but mine is from cancer.

00:08:10.180 He handles that perfectly.

00:08:12.920 I love this guy.

00:08:14.360 Yeah.

00:08:14.820 And by the way, while you're dogpiling on him and you're so very excited to dogpile on Samantha B.

00:08:24.140 for all of the Trump supporters, just know that he's a never-Trumper.

00:08:30.380 Uh-oh.

00:08:31.060 Uh-oh, no.

00:08:31.580 Now it gets really complex.

00:08:33.160 Who do I hate?

00:08:34.320 Do I hate her more than I hate him?

00:08:36.180 I don't know who to hate.

00:08:37.280 Now it's okay to make fun of the cancer victim.

00:08:39.260 Guaranteed.

00:08:40.240 Guaranteed.

00:08:42.280 Guaranteed.

00:08:42.640 It wasn't okay for Samantha B., but now that he's a never-Trumper, absolutely okay. 0.99

00:08:46.700 Absolutely.

00:08:47.500 The, the, the, the, that, that sect of Trumper fans that just can't handle any dissent.

00:08:53.380 Uh, they will go after him now.

00:08:56.060 You know, look, I, I, honestly, they handled it so well. 0.98

00:08:58.660 Uh, cancer is such an evil bastard that I would not, it's, it's, it's devastating. 0.92

00:09:02.980 And I, I would not, uh, fault them at all, honestly, if they, the family reacted really negatively. 0.98

00:09:09.420 Oh, I know.

00:09:10.200 But taking it, I mean, but they handled it so well.

00:09:12.420 No, I don't, I don't even fault the, I mean, look, if somebody's making fun of my, my sister,

00:09:18.040 her, you know, his sister was the one who said, hey, whatever floats your boat, she's 1.00

00:09:23.740 obviously mad.

00:09:24.820 If somebody's making fun of my sister who's going through cancer treatment, oh, I'm, I'm

00:09:28.980 absolutely hammering them.

00:09:30.420 You totally understand their perspective.

00:09:32.040 But there were so many commentators that jumped on this yesterday.

00:09:35.400 And, and look, I understand, you know, she's a liberal and she said something, uh, that,

00:09:40.400 you know, went after someone and really got caught in an awkward moment, right?

00:09:43.680 And hang on just a second.

00:09:44.580 She's not just a liberal.

00:09:45.540 She is a very harsh liberal. 1.00

00:09:48.580 Yeah, sure.

00:09:49.040 I mean, I, I've said to her, there, there are things, Sam, I watch your show, um, you

00:09:54.060 know, and there are things that just really piss me off.

00:09:57.620 And she knows just like I knew when I was doing my show that there would, I would say

00:10:03.080 things that would piss people like her off.

00:10:04.800 Right, exactly.

00:10:05.860 And so I understand that people kind of see an opening to go after someone they don't

00:10:09.720 like in politics.

00:10:10.380 And, and look, she did, she's got caught in an awful moment.

00:10:14.080 It was not, you know, is it her fault?

00:10:16.200 Well, should she be, you know, going after people with cancer?

00:10:19.400 Obviously not.

00:10:20.140 But she did not know this person was with cancer.

00:10:22.540 And the standard that people want to retroactively apply to her is that comedians should not be

00:10:27.520 able to make fun of people's appearances. 0.98

00:10:29.440 And that is an asinine standard. 0.71

00:10:32.020 I mean, she can't possibly screen every person she sees to see if they maybe had one of their 0.95

00:10:36.840 things, uh, one of their, uh, funny, uh, attributes is caused by something terrible.

00:10:41.820 Uh, that is not a standard that anyone can keep.

00:10:44.400 And everyone who's criticizing, uh, her over this has in their own life, mocked people

00:10:50.320 for their appearance, laughed at other people, mocking others for their appearance.

00:10:54.520 And, you know, this could easily happen to anybody.

00:10:58.140 Here's how I can make the, uh, conservative, uh, media really understand this.

00:11:03.300 Why didn't you make more fun of, uh, of Barack Obama's ears?

00:11:10.520 Oh, because you couldn't because the comedy police were out. 0.91

00:11:15.460 And if you made fun of his ears, you were clearly a racist.

00:11:19.860 I'm not sure how our ears are racial. 0.88

00:11:22.860 Um, no, no, no, they're not, but you made fun of anything about him and you are a racist.

00:11:29.200 Do you want to live in that world?

00:11:31.260 I don't, I want to be, I want to live in a world where we can make fun of each other

00:11:37.160 to each other's face, make fun of each other and still love each other.

00:11:43.180 I want to live in a world where I can make a mistake.

00:11:47.120 Um, as a comedian, I could make a mistake and apologize.

00:11:51.320 And everybody's like, Hey, that's cool.

00:11:53.320 I mean, look, we sit here every day and make fun of, uh, certain people.

00:11:57.900 No, we don't.

00:11:58.560 Uh, well, we tell the truth, one big, fat, sweaty mess that we might make fun of.

00:12:03.860 We take, we tell the truth about, just give me one.

00:12:05.940 I can't think of anybody right now.

00:12:07.460 I can't either.

00:12:08.360 We tell the truth about that, sweaty, just really bad human beings.

00:12:13.960 So fatty sweats gravy.

00:12:15.520 Yeah.

00:12:15.780 Yeah.

00:12:16.060 I can't think of anybody like that right now.

00:12:17.740 Not a soul. 0.99

00:12:18.580 Darn it. 0.98

00:12:19.000 But the point is, if you met, if you made fun of someone like, let's say Jeffy, and 0.99

00:12:23.360 then found out the reason he looks like he does was some glandular, awful thing, you might

00:12:29.660 feel, you might feel bad about it.

00:12:31.600 You might apologize.

00:12:33.340 You might do what you can to make it right, but you shouldn't have to know his medical

00:12:37.320 history before joking.

00:12:38.980 And so what should Sam, Sam, she did all three of those things.

00:12:42.680 She felt bad.

00:12:43.540 She apologized and she did what she could to make it right.

00:12:46.000 Well, what she should do is never joke. 0.99

00:12:48.240 Right.

00:12:48.560 That's exactly what people should not joke.

00:12:50.440 Right.

00:12:50.780 And you know what?

00:12:51.600 What's, what's frustrating, I think, to conservatives is not that Samantha Bee made a joke.

00:12:55.500 It's that every liberal would hold, would hold the same standard to a conservative if they

00:13:01.980 got caught in the same moment.

00:13:03.160 And that's, what's frustrating.

00:13:04.980 But I mean, because of that, we have to stand up and take the other side and defend.

00:13:09.460 That's, that's the right thing.

00:13:10.960 This is why I'm not defending her because she's a friend.

00:13:14.660 And I, I mean, I defended, um, uh, what's his name?

00:13:19.520 Uh, politically incorrect.

00:13:21.040 Bill Maher.

00:13:22.080 I could remember the heat I took for defending Bill Maher right after 9-11 when he said, well,

00:13:30.220 at least their fighters have courage, not like ours.

00:13:34.280 And remember that was obscene and offensive, but I went on the air at the time of 9-11 and

00:13:42.540 said, what part of politically incorrect do you not understand?

00:13:46.420 What part of comedy, politically incorrect comedy do you not understand?

00:13:53.460 You may not like it, but that's the name of the show.

00:13:58.700 Defended him.

00:13:59.620 I will defend anyone as long as their intent.

00:14:04.700 And I will try to take them at their word until they prove me wrong.

00:14:09.240 What, what was the intent of this reporter on the Sam Bee show?

00:14:13.040 It was to do comedy and it certainly wasn't to make fun.

00:14:16.840 He didn't know that the guy had cancer.

00:14:18.740 Let's go make fun of the cancer kid.

00:14:20.620 And if you want to dogpile on that, then know that you are no better than the PC police and

00:14:26.840 all of the people that shut us down.

00:14:30.020 Somebody said to me, why, why has your show changed so much?

00:14:33.660 One of the reasons, because everything we said was taken out of context and no one would

00:14:39.980 ever give us a break on comedy.

00:14:42.800 So how many times have you read Glenn Beck wants to choke Michael Moore to death or beat

00:14:48.220 him to death with a shovel?

00:14:50.460 If you ever listened to those breaks, it was all in jokes.

00:14:57.060 They were all jokes.

00:14:58.500 They were all things that the left can say.

00:15:02.400 We could never say any of those things.

00:15:05.260 So they, they just took all the comedy weapons away from us.

00:15:09.580 And made us into, we're all going to die.

00:15:13.060 We're all going to die.

00:15:15.920 Let's not be the things we despise.

00:15:20.780 Our sponsor this half hour is Casper.

00:15:24.500 Great night sleep starts with your mattress and the perfect mattress is engineered for

00:15:29.060 outrageous comfort.

00:15:30.980 It's a Casper mattress invented with two high tech foams that give you all the support you

00:15:35.960 needing guarantees that you get the best night's sleep ever.

00:15:38.860 And it ships for free in a box so small.

00:15:41.580 You're not going to believe that it holds a mattress.

00:15:43.480 Please, please.

00:15:45.400 If you don't believe me on anything, believe me on this one thing.

00:15:48.120 Do not open the box in the hallway.

00:15:51.840 Open the box where the bed is going to be.

00:15:56.800 Don't.

00:15:57.380 Oh, Glenn Beck said we should open this.

00:15:59.300 Oh no, we're going to open it up here in the hallway.

00:16:01.380 Good luck with that.

00:17:03.280 The thing I want.

00:17:04.900 This.

00:17:05.700 This.

00:17:06.500 Is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:09.480 Mercury.

00:17:13.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:15.680 Let's go to Lance in Tennessee.

00:17:17.420 Hello, Lance.

00:17:18.600 Hey, how you doing?

00:17:20.100 Good, how are you?

00:17:21.300 I'm doing real well.

00:17:22.420 My only problem with Samantha Bee, it wasn't that you made fun of the guy, because she 0.82

00:17:26.780 didn't know you had cancer.

00:17:27.700 I agree with you there.

00:17:28.900 But stop calling your political enemies Nazis.

00:17:32.600 That's a good.

00:17:33.100 That's a fair point.

00:17:33.820 That's not something you call people.

00:17:35.000 It's a fair point.

00:17:36.300 That's just like a Nazi to say that, isn't it? 0.87

00:17:41.840 It's a fair point.

00:17:42.860 But you know what?

00:17:43.360 I will tell you this.

00:17:44.320 You're exactly right.

00:17:45.320 And and I have reached into that bag and I was accused of what?

00:17:50.660 Have you?

00:17:51.680 And I have been accused of that during the what?

00:17:54.540 Really?

00:17:55.000 Do you, Glenn Beck, have mentioned the word Nazi?

00:18:00.420 But you're right, Glenn.

00:18:01.740 It's like I get the point is, it is valid.

00:18:04.220 I understand that we do vilify our opponents.

00:18:07.320 And it was what we talked about yesterday with, you know, the Westboro Baptist Church

00:18:10.280 person who a woman who left the church.

00:18:12.700 And it's not it's not in the spirit of reaching out across lines.

00:18:15.740 I got that.

00:18:16.620 But again, you've got to protect comedy.

00:18:18.120 Comedy is important.

00:18:19.300 And you should be able to.

00:18:20.100 I mean, quite honestly, I mean, Mel Brooks taught us Nazis are funny. 1.00

00:18:23.520 Yeah.

00:18:23.820 So you can either be afraid of Nazis or we can laugh about Nazis. 0.63

00:18:27.140 But I, I, I, I agree with you and it especially tickles me that the left made fun of me for

00:18:38.220 always talking about Nazis with the chalkboard when I was doing serious analysis between the

00:18:44.000 two.

00:18:44.800 And now they're just like, look at the haircut. 0.54

00:18:47.420 Nazi.

00:18:48.820 I mean, but Stu brought up, you know, the the Westboro Baptist Church lady.

00:18:55.180 The one thing that we should emphasize, here's a woman who left the Westboro Baptist Church.

00:19:00.200 She's a Phelps. 0.91

00:19:01.540 She left the Westboro Baptist Church and and she said, look, there's four things that

00:19:06.080 everybody should know.

00:19:07.360 And this is why I left.

00:19:09.160 If you can approach somebody who you think is really misguided and you can don't you don't

00:19:15.680 assume bad intent.

00:19:17.880 Number one.

00:19:19.360 What are we doing?

00:19:20.540 We just assume the other side has bad intent.

00:19:23.300 Sometimes they do.

00:19:23.980 Number two.

00:19:26.680 Ask honest questions.

00:19:29.000 Don't try to ask the questions that are going to set you up for your point.

00:19:33.480 Really ask honest questions.

00:19:36.200 Three.

00:19:36.900 Stay calm.

00:19:38.540 And number four.

00:19:39.740 Make the argument.

00:19:42.400 You need to read this article on Glenn Beck dot com.

00:19:46.160 Four steps to break down walls from a former Westboro Baptist church member.

00:19:50.820 What got her out of the church?

00:20:39.880 We'll get to it here in just a little while.

00:20:42.600 Movies opening up this weekend.

00:20:44.960 It is a movie weekend, at least for me and my son tomorrow.

00:20:49.560 I'm at South by Southwest today.

00:20:52.260 But I have a father daughter's date tomorrow.

00:20:55.600 I wanted to stay here.

00:20:56.800 And there's some really great speakers at South by Southwest that I hope to just be able to convince to come up and talk about some of these things.

00:21:04.180 There's a woman from Microsoft that is talking about the future of A.I.

00:21:08.860 That is terrifying and and sending out a warning of what is coming if we don't pay attention.

00:21:17.220 But you really need to hear some really fascinating speakers at South by Southwest.

00:21:21.900 But I'm coming home.

00:21:23.180 I've got a father daughter's date tomorrow night and my son tomorrow morning.

00:21:26.900 We have got to go to Kong Skull Island.

00:21:31.960 It looks great.

00:21:33.360 Getting good reviews saying what I've read, at least saying, you know, finally a good King Kong movie.

00:21:41.020 And it should be because there is I won't spoil anything during the titles.

00:21:45.940 There are setups for what's to come because this is a franchise now of Kong.

00:21:51.820 I how many I just I'm put off by how many King Kongs there have been.

00:21:56.720 I mean, over and over and over.

00:21:59.380 You know what it is?

00:22:00.560 Who is the monkey version of Spider-Man?

00:22:03.680 Yes, he is.

00:22:04.920 Yes.

00:22:05.220 They just keep trying to jam this down our throats and they're usually not good.

00:22:09.020 So I'm skeptical about this one.

00:22:10.900 But it's getting really good reviews.

00:22:12.140 I liked the Jessica Lange one.

00:22:13.640 But that may have just been because at the time Jessica Lange was really hot.

00:22:18.060 Yes.

00:22:18.520 And I was nothing but a throbbing hormone.

00:22:23.100 So it's nastily put, but thank you.

00:22:28.980 You're welcome.

00:22:29.700 You're welcome.

00:22:30.000 It got 79% positive feedback from from the critics, though.

00:22:34.280 So what are the audience?

00:22:36.020 The audience?

00:22:36.940 I'll have to click on it to see.

00:22:38.960 The audience was 75.

00:22:40.500 So it's cool.

00:22:41.220 Oh, wow.

00:22:41.760 Did you guys like the the Godzilla movie that came out with Bryan Cranston?

00:22:45.580 I did.

00:22:46.180 I liked it, too.

00:22:47.580 It was pretty good.

00:22:48.140 It's the same people, I think.

00:22:49.240 So I'm kind of optimistic.

00:22:51.560 They're setting they're setting, you know, the old Mothra movies up.

00:22:55.640 They're setting the the War of the Titans up, which I think is I love those movies.

00:23:01.860 Let's see.

00:23:02.600 Get out.

00:23:03.840 I don't know if I can see this movie.

00:23:06.520 I did.

00:23:07.240 Yeah.

00:23:07.560 And is it good?

00:23:08.980 It's very good.

00:23:10.000 Yes.

00:23:10.720 It's getting great reviews.

00:23:12.460 Yeah.

00:23:12.480 It's I believe it's 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:23:16.220 Wow.

00:23:17.620 99%.

00:23:18.460 Now, usually you will only see that sort of number on a, you know, maybe maybe an independent,

00:23:24.460 like, you know, indie movie that, you know, remains of the day.

00:23:28.120 Right.

00:23:28.320 Exactly.

00:23:29.060 This is a, you know, major releases.

00:23:31.060 I think it's a number two movie of the year.

00:23:32.540 So this is a Blumhouse, isn't it?

00:23:33.940 Yeah.

00:23:34.400 Yeah.

00:23:34.920 And so Blumhouse is a is a production company.

00:23:37.080 But one of the things that's interesting about them is they have these really, you know,

00:23:40.020 they try to keep the costs down.

00:23:41.640 They've had now, Glenn, eight movies, eight movies that have made six times their production.

00:23:48.460 Budget in the opening weekend.

00:23:51.240 That's just incredible.

00:23:52.520 I mean, that's incredible.

00:23:53.600 That is incredible.

00:23:54.460 Blumhouse.

00:23:54.780 Blumhouse is magic because they they not only keep the price down.

00:23:59.700 What they do is they keep the studios away and they go to people who know their genre and

00:24:04.280 say, you make the movie.

00:24:06.200 We're going to leave you alone.

00:24:07.180 We'll do all the back end stuff.

00:24:08.980 We'll do the promotion.

00:24:10.040 We'll get it in all the theaters.

00:24:11.440 And we're going to keep everyone away from you.

00:24:15.000 And that's why they're so successful.

00:24:17.260 Yeah.

00:24:17.580 And who would have thunk it?

00:24:18.980 I know.

00:24:19.460 One thing quickly about Get Out that I think the audience would appreciate is the movie is

00:24:24.100 set up.

00:24:24.440 If you've seen the previews, you probably know kind of the general story of this interracial

00:24:28.020 couple goes home to these this these this white set of parents.

00:24:32.420 And obviously something terrible happens to the black guy.

00:24:35.920 And there's obviously a racial element. 0.90

00:24:37.600 It's like a Stepford Wives type town.

00:24:39.380 Yeah, yeah, a plainly plainly obvious that that's kind of a racial tone to it.

00:24:43.880 What's really interesting is in the movie, and I'm not giving anything away here that

00:24:47.640 doesn't happen very early.

00:24:49.220 It's that the parents of the bad family, they're liberals.

00:24:56.600 And the movie has an undertone of sort of mocking liberals for thinking they're not racist,

00:25:03.380 which is great.

00:25:04.540 It's I mean, I don't know if that was the intent of the movie.

00:25:06.680 They really are, though.

00:25:07.240 But but I mean, yes.

00:25:08.580 Oh, that's great.

00:25:10.020 Yeah, it's kind of interesting.

00:25:11.000 It's great.

00:25:11.580 If you guys look for that, if you see the movie, one of the other movies came out last

00:25:15.480 week, did really, really well in theaters.

00:25:17.120 And we have Brad Cummings on the phone.

00:25:19.300 Yeah, I think so.

00:25:20.240 OK, Brad Cummings is the writer and one of the producers of The Shack, which came out.

00:25:27.180 Hey, Brad, how are you?

00:25:28.020 Or Brad, are you there?

00:25:33.840 Brad, is Brad there?

00:25:36.320 Hmm.

00:25:37.020 Doesn't seem to be unless we're having a hard time with you being in Austin and us at Dallas.

00:25:40.880 Brad, are you there?

00:25:41.800 I'm here.

00:25:42.420 There we go.

00:25:42.780 OK.

00:25:43.020 Hey, Brad, how are you?

00:25:44.360 I'm doing fantastic.

00:25:45.940 I just wanted to call you and congratulate you on the performance of The Shack last weekend.

00:25:49.980 Really good opening.

00:25:51.580 Yeah, it was fantastic.

00:25:53.480 It's been selling out matinees all this week.

00:25:57.100 I mean, there's an incredible buzz around it.

00:26:00.140 So, Matt, there's a couple of things I wanted to talk to you about.

00:26:02.560 First, I want to ask you if you will help me with something.

00:26:05.580 But the first thing is, could you please explain?

00:26:09.880 I was having breakfast Saturday with my older daughters last week.

00:26:16.240 And my older daughter said she just had a newborn baby.

00:26:20.340 She's got two children.

00:26:21.640 One's three, a little girl, and then her newborn son.

00:26:25.040 And she was saying, Dad, I can't go see it because I cannot, I don't want to see a movie about a kid being kidnapped and killed.

00:26:34.040 Can you explain how you guys handled that so it's not a problem for people who don't want to see that stuff?

00:26:40.780 Yeah, I mean, we actually handled it incredibly delicately.

00:26:45.320 That is referenced there.

00:26:47.560 It's not glorified or seen.

00:26:50.000 It's just sort of suggested as far as what happens so that we have a sense of the weight of the tragedy that the dad has to deal with.

00:26:58.680 I think the movie beautifully takes over.

00:27:02.720 And, you know, it's like that's a difficult moment to consider the weight of.

00:27:07.480 But I think the overwhelming rest of the movie is an incredible encounter with a loving God who crawls in the midst of that.

00:27:13.300 The other thing I wanted to ask you is I think this story is very much like a book that I wrote a long time ago, except it's a much better story.

00:27:24.160 Yours is called The Christmas Sweater.

00:27:27.200 And I know that I was getting all kinds of unbelievable emails from people who would see it and their life would change.

00:27:37.020 Are you willing to share any of those emails if you get any?

00:27:41.340 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:27:42.360 I mean, I went out to the mailbox the other day and I had a handwritten letter from a dad that was just – he was overwhelmed because the movie – he went there with his family, his young son, a 60-year-old, another kid.

00:27:59.400 But they just admitted to crying in the movie and it was like, you know, for two teenage boys to kind of admit to each other as well as to their parents that this movie had moved them so deeply he was taken back by that.

00:28:12.400 But the movie itself is – it helped him – helped his wife forgive her alcoholic brother for a lifetime of pain that, you know, was brought to her, the family, their kids.

00:28:25.740 And he just said, he said, if it wasn't for this movie, I don't think she would ever have been brought to a place of being able to forgive him.

00:28:34.380 And he wrote me a note and just said, you know, thanks for helping my wife give her pain to God.

00:28:40.840 And that was just extraordinary.

00:28:43.520 One of the really cool stories that was forwarded along to me is there was a dad who was coming out of one of the matinees, I think down in Dallas, I believe.

00:28:53.220 And he had asked for prayer to the whole group that was leaving for his daughter who had a brain tumor.

00:29:01.820 And the lady that's relating this said, you know, I thought the people were ignoring him and leaving as a few – but a few had gathered over him in prayer.

00:29:10.560 And when the prayer ended, she turned around and the entire theater had extended their arms.

00:29:17.000 They were laying hands on each other, praying for this precious child.

00:29:19.720 And she said, you know, the movie was the most amazing thing, but to see the whole crowd turn and pray for this little girl.

00:29:27.240 She said, it was amazing, but our ending in Theater 15 was so full of his love.

00:29:33.060 Folks have just been having incredible encounters in the theater with each other.

00:29:38.760 You know, it's been amazing the response of audiences to this movie.

00:29:42.860 Yeah, as a guy who has gone through those enormous changes and needed this kind of a thing, I just urge you to go see this movie.

00:29:52.500 And I hate saying this because it's not a movie that is trying to do anything other than just be a good movie.

00:29:59.320 So it's not a message movie.

00:30:01.320 It's not a movie that's going to change your life.

00:30:04.000 You've got to see this movie.

00:30:05.380 Because I avoid those movies like The Plague.

00:30:07.300 This is just a great movie that you will enjoy, but it also has the ability for people like I used to be to transform your life.

00:30:17.240 And I urge you to go bring a friend, you know, bring a couple of families with you so they don't feel like, you know, you're singling them out.

00:30:25.960 And go see The Shack this weekend.

00:30:29.560 Thanks so much.

00:30:30.660 Appreciate it.

00:30:31.260 Sorry to get you up out of bed, Brad.

00:30:32.880 Congratulations.

00:30:33.760 Thanks, Glenn.

00:30:34.720 You bet.

00:30:35.080 Bye-bye.

00:30:37.300 All righty.

00:30:38.520 Let me take a quick break here.

00:30:40.360 And our sponsor this half hour is Mercury Real Estate.

00:30:46.320 I don't know about you, but I have enough stress in my life to last, I don't know, about 400 lifetimes.

00:30:53.540 When it comes to selling your house, they say that the stress is as bad as getting a divorce or losing a loved one.

00:31:02.280 That's pretty intense.

00:31:04.420 Oh, yeah.

00:31:04.780 Mom died.

00:31:05.580 Oh, thank goodness I didn't have to sell the house, too.

00:31:09.260 That's horrible.

00:31:11.240 Why is that?

00:31:13.140 I think it's because you usually have something pressing down on you.

00:31:16.980 You need to get your house sold.

00:31:18.920 But also, you don't know who to trust.

00:31:21.080 You don't know.

00:31:21.560 This is not what you do all the time.

00:31:23.400 So you don't know who to trust.

00:31:24.680 You don't know if you're getting ripped off or what.

00:31:26.880 You find the wrong real estate agent.

00:31:28.720 And it's a nightmare.

00:31:29.280 This is why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:31:33.960 And I did it with my brother, Robert.

00:31:35.500 Robert and I have had the same kind of radio experience to where we moved around 100,000 times.

00:31:43.880 And he was an army brat before that.

00:31:46.560 And so he knows the stress, and so do I, of moving and finding the right real estate agent.

00:31:52.080 When I was having trouble selling my house, I thought, there's got to be a better way.

00:31:56.240 Because I didn't know who to hire.

00:31:57.880 Who do you hire?

00:31:58.680 You hear either a relative or a friend of a relative's.

00:32:04.400 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:32:05.780 We've spent a couple of years on this.

00:32:07.600 We spent about a year and a half in testing before we even started and mentioned it to you.

00:32:11.800 Because we wanted to make sure we got to know these real estate agents personally.

00:32:15.700 We have over 1,000 agents now all over America who are just like you.

00:32:20.140 They listen to the show.

00:32:21.580 Their bond is their word.

00:32:23.280 I speak to all of them and make sure they say, you know, that they understand.

00:32:27.800 A handshake is your deal.

00:33:08.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:14.100 Mercury.

00:33:17.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:20.420 I love the fact that Aaron Watson was on Fox and Friends this morning.

00:33:23.560 Aaron Watson, a good friend of the program.

00:33:25.460 Oh, was he?

00:33:26.380 Yeah.

00:33:26.980 Oh, that's great.

00:33:27.900 And just did the Houston Rodeo.

00:33:29.980 Had 55,000 people packed in to see him at the Houston Rodeo.

00:33:34.820 Great reviews.

00:33:35.820 The Houston Papers.

00:33:37.220 Loved him.

00:33:37.680 I have not seen him in concert yet, but he feels, I'll bet you it's the same feeling you get from a Michael Buble concert.

00:33:46.260 And we haven't talked about an artist like this since Michael Buble.

00:33:49.320 And he's going to be a Billy Bob's win, March 25th.

00:33:54.080 He's just one of the great guys.

00:33:56.140 And we're so happy for his success.

00:33:57.860 And good to see him on Fox and Friends this morning.

00:33:59.940 So, Scott Pruitt, the head of the EPA, who I didn't know, wasn't he with Stevenson Pruitt for a while in Houston?

00:34:08.080 Yeah, he was.

00:34:08.580 Yeah, he was.

00:34:09.580 He did the Wacky FM morning show for about 30 years.

00:34:13.220 And now he's the head of the EPA.

00:34:16.460 Either that or it's a different Pruitt.

00:34:18.000 I'm not sure.

00:34:18.720 Well, we don't know for sure.

00:34:19.840 We don't know for sure.

00:34:20.580 But here's what he said about climate change.

00:34:23.000 Do you believe that it's been proven that CO2 is the primary control knob for climate?

00:34:29.560 Do you believe that?

00:34:31.260 No, I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do.

00:34:37.640 And there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact.

00:34:41.720 So, no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.

00:34:47.880 Okay.

00:34:48.160 But we don't know that yet as far as we need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.

00:34:53.680 How dare he?

00:34:55.000 Some people believe, and this is crazy, that there's a 2 million degree burning orb in the sky that has something to do with our climate.

00:35:03.220 Some people really think that.

00:35:05.140 Conspiracy theorists.

00:35:06.260 Excuse me.

00:35:07.100 Excuse me.

00:35:07.600 Could I cut in here as a woman? 0.99

00:35:09.420 May I just cut in here for a minute and talk about your science desires?

00:35:12.780 Yes, please.

00:35:13.280 You know, CO2 is clearly what is causing this.

00:35:19.200 There is nothing else causing it.

00:35:21.160 I'm tired of, as a woman, I am tired of you science deniers. 0.71

00:35:25.920 I will say this.

00:35:27.120 The gall of this man to say we need continued analysis of this issue.

00:35:32.580 May I excuse?

00:35:33.480 It is over.

00:35:34.020 Never look at it again.

00:35:35.020 You never consider another option ever again.

00:35:37.580 May I, would you let a woman speak for a second, please? 0.99

00:35:40.100 Yes, ma'am.

00:35:40.560 Yes, ma'am.

00:35:40.980 How dare you identify his gender?

00:35:45.660 You don't know how he's identifying today.

00:35:48.240 We meant to call him G.

00:35:49.820 We meant to. 0.99

00:35:51.120 You science denying bigots have got to be wiped out. 0.95

00:35:55.580 You are so, is there no humanity in you? 1.00

00:36:00.420 That's why we have to have you rounded up and killed and silenced. 1.00

00:36:04.220 There's no humanity even in you. 1.00

00:36:06.660 That was beautifully good. 0.99

00:36:07.720 You make me sick.

00:36:09.380 Well, I mean, you're right.

00:36:12.400 Mr. Specius over here is very concerned if we're human or not.

00:36:15.540 And I've noticed that hatred coming through on your side.

00:36:19.340 Excuse me?

00:36:20.360 Specius.

00:36:20.820 You're a specius.

00:36:21.960 Oh, is it a problem if we're not human?

00:36:23.480 What if I identify as something else today?

00:36:26.520 Well, hang on just a second. 0.80

00:36:27.680 You were talking to my, I was identifying as a woman there and I was all screwed up. 0.85

00:36:31.160 I was menstruating. 0.89

00:36:33.040 And I'm luckily not menstruating right now.

00:36:35.920 Oh, okay.

00:36:36.420 So I'm more in my rational mind.

00:36:39.240 Oh my gosh.

00:36:40.160 Did he just say that women aren't in their rational mind when they're menstruating?

00:36:44.800 No.

00:36:45.340 You said that men aren't when they're menstruating. 0.68

00:36:47.640 That's what you said.

00:36:48.680 That's exactly what you said.

00:36:49.640 That was another person that I was identifying.

00:36:52.500 I'm now identifying as a dog.

00:36:54.380 And so, I mean, I don't know what that guy was saying or that woman.

00:36:59.320 But it's a good thing liberals don't deny science.

00:37:01.680 Isn't it?

00:37:02.400 It's a good thing.

00:37:04.740 It's a good thing.

00:37:05.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:13.440 Mercury.

00:37:14.140 Mercury.

00:37:14.260 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:37:31.260 Hello, America.

00:37:35.240 And welcome to the program.

00:37:36.740 So glad you're here.

00:37:38.140 Want to talk about a little bit of Austin.

00:37:40.700 I'm in Austin today for South by Southwest, which is just a great music, kind of futuristic tech conference.

00:37:49.640 I'm here to speak this afternoon with Recode.

00:37:53.080 I'm doing a podcast with them on the future of the media, which probably should last about three minutes.

00:38:00.860 We'll get to that coming up.

00:38:03.880 Also, Five Ways Negan from The Walking Dead is just like Uncle Sam.

00:38:09.600 A great story written by one of our writers for glennbeck.com.

00:38:14.380 We'll get to that in a second.

00:38:15.840 And the new movie about Scientology opens up this weekend.

00:38:20.300 We begin there and much more right now.

00:38:22.620 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:38:45.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:48.760 Hello, America.

00:38:53.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:54.260 Glad to talk to you.

00:38:56.100 Glad to be here at South by Southwest.

00:38:58.940 I'm going to try to spend the day really listening to some of the people that are speaking, coming from all over the world to speak at this music and tech conference about the future of the media and the future of even work.

00:39:13.720 The future of AI.

00:39:15.540 There is so much that the conservative world is not hearing and it's not being presented to you by anyone, honestly.

00:39:26.560 And we're going to be left in the dust if we don't start looking at what truly is coming from Silicon Valley.

00:39:37.060 And I'll tell you more about it and some of the things that I learn on Monday when I get back.

00:39:45.460 I will tell you that I think Austin is going to transform Texas and they know it.

00:39:50.800 This is why the progressive movement is dumping money into Texas to turn it from red to blue.

00:39:58.920 And and I was walking last night.

00:40:02.020 Got here very late last night and walking down.

00:40:05.260 What was it?

00:40:06.840 Sixth Avenue here in Austin, one of the main streets in Austin.

00:40:11.220 And it reminded me so much of Seattle for a couple of reasons.

00:40:15.080 It just it just had rained.

00:40:16.940 So the streets were kind of wet.

00:40:18.980 And so you could smell the rain.

00:40:20.800 But it also reeked of old booze and a little bit of urine and homelessness.

00:40:28.440 And I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's Seattle home, sweet home.

00:40:32.120 Oh, how I miss that smell.

00:40:35.440 And and it is because this is a sanctuary city for not only dare I say it.

00:40:42.620 I'll whisper it because I'm in Austin.

00:40:45.340 Illegals. 0.95

00:40:46.600 But also sanctuary city for homeless.

00:40:51.120 And the homeless here are just like they were when I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico, a couple of years ago.

00:40:57.800 For my anniversary with my wife, we did not want to go back to Santa Fe, New Mexico, because and I said to her, you're not coming here by yourself because it was a constant barrage of homeless people that were just feeling entitled to like last night, sitting here, having dinner on the street, on the sidewalk.

00:41:24.220 Just trying to enjoy a nice meal person after person after person, just coming up and saying, can I have some?

00:41:32.100 Can I have some food, please?

00:41:34.960 Homeless people. 1.00

00:41:35.960 Wow.

00:41:36.380 And now I remember.

00:41:38.560 It's hard to say no if they're actually hungry.

00:41:40.780 I know.

00:41:41.380 Plus, who hasn't done that?

00:41:42.540 Plus, it could be a radio bit.

00:41:44.020 It could be somebody just.

00:41:45.660 Could we go back to Jeffy's who hasn't done that?

00:41:48.440 Sure.

00:41:50.520 I mean, there's some good food that you see on the sidewalk there.

00:41:55.220 Sidewalk.

00:41:55.680 And so you just stop and say, can I have some of that?

00:41:57.940 I will tell you that Pat was kind of headed here.

00:42:01.620 Pat and I used to go out, you know, and we used to do it.

00:42:04.500 And we do stuff like that for fun.

00:42:05.540 We did it before we had phones and could tape everything.

00:42:09.740 We did it just for us.

00:42:11.380 For gigs.

00:42:12.480 We would go up and, you know, there would be somebody who'd be standing there or sitting

00:42:15.600 there and eating something that looked really good.

00:42:17.540 And I would look at Pat and say, go ahead.

00:42:20.500 Let me have a little bit of that.

00:42:22.340 Yeah.

00:42:22.860 Mind if I have some?

00:42:23.920 Never tried that before.

00:42:24.960 That looks delicious.

00:42:25.740 Could I have a little bite?

00:42:26.580 But I'm serious.

00:42:28.700 You guys are joking around.

00:42:29.900 I'm serious.

00:42:30.500 I know you are.

00:42:30.940 When Pat used to come up to the table, they thought he was serious, too.

00:42:37.140 Pat was transgendered before transgendered was cool.

00:42:40.180 Oh, absolutely.

00:42:40.900 We went into Ivanka Trump's dress shop with hidden microphones, and we said we were getting

00:42:52.920 married, and Pat needed to try on a wedding dress. 1.00

00:42:58.140 And these were like $15,000, $20,000 dresses, and they didn't really have anything appropriate

00:43:03.460 to fit him.

00:43:04.920 Now, today, that wouldn't be a big deal, but 25 years ago, it was.

00:43:08.180 That was a huge deal.

00:43:09.240 Yeah, it was.

00:43:09.500 And they didn't blink, just didn't even blink.

00:43:13.560 No, they were really good.

00:43:13.840 And when he came out with something low-cut and lacy, with his chest hair and beard, the

00:43:20.440 lady, thank God, thought I was crying.

00:43:23.000 And I almost was.

00:43:24.720 I almost was.

00:43:26.720 But it was a sight I'll never get out.

00:43:29.080 There's some things in life you'll never unsee.

00:43:31.840 And that was one of them.

00:43:33.300 That's one of them.

00:43:33.800 That was one of them.

00:43:35.280 And as I was walking out, leaving him in the dress store, because I couldn't handle it

00:43:38.940 anymore, all I could hear was Pat saying, wait, I haven't tried on the lingerie.

00:43:43.940 But anyway, I think that these cities, I think that you can look at what's happening now

00:43:54.980 in Austin, and you can chart the course for the rest of Texas.

00:44:00.940 Because what will happen is what happens in every state.

00:44:04.960 Everyone will say, here in Texas, and correct me if I'm wrong, boys.

00:44:09.800 Yeah, well, Texas has always been, I mean, Austin has always been this.

00:44:13.340 It's always been weird.

00:44:14.880 Yada, yada, yada.

00:44:15.500 And so they become numb to it, and they don't see how it's spreading.

00:44:21.240 First of all, they always, always, progressives always set up shop in the capital city and

00:44:30.020 next to the, and in all of the universities, and they, that's how they get you.

00:44:35.600 They change the universities, they change the culture of the capital, and you're done.

00:44:40.760 Right, right.

00:44:41.020 It makes a ton of sense, because that's where the legislature is.

00:44:43.340 And if you can control the legislature, you can have a massive impact in the state.

00:44:47.640 Yep.

00:44:47.840 And that's what they try to do here.

00:44:49.600 Now, the good thing about-

00:44:50.600 It's going to be a tougher fight, though, in Texas.

00:44:52.180 Well, because Texas legislature doesn't meet all the time.

00:44:54.860 It meets every two years.

00:44:55.960 Yeah.

00:44:56.760 And it's a slow but sure process.

00:44:58.440 I mean, we have an influx of people coming from, we'll say, California.

00:45:03.680 And they're attempting to do their deeds in Texas like they did in California already.

00:45:08.740 Well, they're doing it in Boise, Idaho.

00:45:10.840 Also, Boise, Idaho used to be a very conservative town.

00:45:15.420 Now, conservatives, beware if you go to Boise, Idaho.

00:45:18.780 That's not a friendly town.

00:45:20.840 Well, you want to talk about liberals in a place where you wouldn't expect them.

00:45:24.700 How about Salt Lake City?

00:45:25.280 I was thinking the same thing.

00:45:26.720 I mean-

00:45:27.220 Oh, Salt Lake City, though, has also always been that way.

00:45:30.140 Salt Lake City proper.

00:45:31.540 Yes.

00:45:31.880 I mean, they were home to the first openly lesbian mayor, it seems like, right?

00:45:36.960 But you know what, that comes again, I think, from a strong family culture and one that is very, very, and I hate to use this word because it's not exactly right, but controlled.

00:45:53.900 It's not controlled, but the people, the culture self-polices itself.

00:45:58.400 It's a very strong culture of traditional values, and when you have that, you're going to have the backlash, and the stronger the light, the darker the darkness sometimes.

00:46:10.500 You know, people rebel in harsher ways than you do when, you know, it's just kind of in the mushy middle, at least I think.

00:46:20.360 Yeah, I think that's true.

00:46:23.420 Let's talk a little bit about five ways Negan from The Walking Dead is just like Uncle Sam.

00:46:28.880 I haven't seen any episode with Negan.

00:46:30.860 I saw the last episode where he was introduced, and that's the last one I saw.

00:46:37.160 Wow.

00:46:38.300 Because you guys-

00:46:39.120 You've got some catching up to do.

00:46:40.100 I don't think I'm going to, and I don't think I'm alone either.

00:46:43.520 I saw the ratings, and the ratings are not good for it.

00:46:46.060 Well, first of all, yes, they are.

00:46:48.520 They're still the number one show on cable, but, you know, they just aren't as much as they were.

00:46:53.540 I think they're still the most watched TV show, period.

00:46:56.120 Yeah, they're just not as much as they were.

00:46:58.220 Yeah.

00:46:58.760 Yeah, and I quit.

00:46:59.740 I quit it, too, and it just got to be too much.

00:47:02.620 I heard that that's why they're softening.

00:47:05.680 Is that true?

00:47:06.340 They're softening?

00:47:07.160 You know, I don't know.

00:47:08.860 I mean, the show's already filmed, right?

00:47:10.620 I mean, it's already done, so I don't know how much more they can do this season because it's already in the can.

00:47:16.520 Right.

00:47:16.720 So, you know, it's been good.

00:47:19.680 I've enjoyed it.

00:47:20.980 I mean, Negan is the new Uncle Sam.

00:47:23.860 There's no doubt about that.

00:47:24.800 He is the law, baby.

00:47:25.960 So here's, according to GlennBeck.com, here are the five ways Negan is Uncle Sam.

00:47:31.260 Taxation.

00:47:32.440 Does anybody feel patriotic or thrilled when April 15th rolls around?

00:47:35.900 Of course not.

00:47:36.660 The more money you make, more Uncle Sam takes.

00:47:38.720 There isn't any way around it.

00:47:40.000 It's no surprise that once the calm settles in a dystopian zombie apocalypse world, some dude would seize power and try to take as much as he can.

00:47:47.960 Negan broke it down for the show's protagonist, Rick, in his final monologue in the last season. 1.00

00:47:54.680 Give me your crap or I will kill you. 1.00

00:47:58.080 Very simple. 1.00

00:47:59.020 Today was career day.

00:48:00.700 We invested a lot.

00:48:02.400 So, you know who I am and what I can do.

00:48:05.000 You work for me now. 1.00

00:48:06.300 You have crap. 1.00

00:48:07.920 You give it to me. 1.00

00:48:09.160 That's your job.

00:48:10.000 Now, I know that's mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you must and certainly will.

00:48:16.500 You ruled the roost.

00:48:17.660 You built something.

00:48:18.840 You thought you were safe.

00:48:19.840 I get it.

00:48:20.380 But the word is out.

00:48:21.240 You're not safe.

00:48:21.980 Not even close.

00:48:22.820 In fact, you're pegged more pegged if you don't do what I want. 1.00

00:48:26.580 And what I want is half of your crap. 0.99

00:48:29.220 So, number one, just like Uncle Sam. 1.00

00:48:32.500 Yes.

00:48:33.380 Number two, half is just the beginning, by the way, just like Uncle Sam.

00:48:37.860 Yes.

00:48:38.180 Half is just the beginning.

00:48:39.440 And when he decides at any point in time that, you know what, I need a little bit more than half, he takes it.

00:48:45.760 Number two, theft is not tolerated.

00:48:48.060 In America Day, stealing large sums of money often earns larger prison sentences than violent crimes.

00:48:54.900 While perhaps not as harsh as punishments delivered by the barbed wire wrapped baseball bat, the feds don't care who you are. 0.99

00:49:01.220 If you owe them money, they come for you.

00:49:04.260 Uncle Sam will drop the hammer on you.

00:49:06.680 Nagin does the same.

00:49:08.180 Quote, you really didn't think that I was going to get through this without punishing you, now, did you?

00:49:15.360 I don't want to kill people.

00:49:17.240 I just want to make it clear from the get-go.

00:49:19.720 You work for me. 0.74

00:49:21.240 And if you can't do that, you're dead.

00:49:23.660 That's, I mean, rules are rules.

00:49:25.920 It's a good quote.

00:49:26.880 Rules are rules.

00:49:28.520 I want you.

00:49:29.880 Number three, Negan versus Uncle Sam, the I want you poster. 0.89

00:49:34.800 It's been used over decades as a patriotic call to duty.

00:49:37.720 A volunteer army has long been a tradition in America and helped us avoid another draft, something nobody wants to see.

00:49:43.400 When stuff really hits the fan, it'll be something to watch because the patriotic call can become a frightening threat.

00:49:48.500 Once Negan had a fan favorite, Daryl, in his custody, he laid out the options.

00:49:54.500 Quote, I don't think you get it yet, so I'm going to break it down for you.

00:49:58.420 You get three choices.

00:49:59.800 One, you wind up on the spike and you work for me as a dead man.

00:50:04.020 Two, you get out of your cell. 0.99

00:50:07.800 You work for points, but you're going to wish you were dead.

00:50:10.640 Or three, you work for me.

00:50:12.800 You get yourself a brand new pair of shoes and you live like a king.

00:50:16.460 The choice seems pretty obvious.

00:50:18.480 You should know there's no door number four.

00:50:21.580 This is it.

00:50:22.660 Those are your only choices.

00:50:25.600 Sounds like Uncle Sam to me.

00:50:27.320 It does.

00:50:28.380 Number four, all is good if you follow the rules.

00:50:34.360 And Negan says, there are rules for a reason.

00:50:38.440 Nothing matters if you're dead.

00:50:39.900 It all ends with death with him, doesn't it?

00:50:42.800 And number five, ingenuity and talent is rewarded.

00:50:46.640 Despite all the ways the government has invented to entangle itself in our daily lives, the American dream lies on.

00:50:51.160 If you work hard, you can get ahead and make a difference without fear of Lucille hanging over you.

00:50:55.520 Well, Negan owns you, and there's no escaping the fact he, too, rewards hard work.

00:50:59.820 In one episode, Spencer tries to make an end run around Rick and take power of Alexandria, the settlement where Rick's people live.

00:51:06.280 Despite their differences, Negan respects Rick's work ethic and recognizes Spencer's laziness.

00:51:11.460 And he says, quote, you know, I'm thinking, Spencer, I'm thinking about how Rick threatened to kill me, how he clearly hates my guts.

00:51:18.820 But he's out right now gathering crap for me to take to make sure I don't hurt any of the fine people that live here. 0.98

00:51:26.480 He's swallowing his hate and getting crap done. 0.98

00:51:29.420 Now, that takes guts. 0.97

00:51:30.500 And then there's you, a guy who waited for Rick to be gone so he could sneak over and talk to me to have me do his dirty work so he could take Rick's place. 0.98

00:51:39.760 So I got to ask, if you want to take over, why not just kill Rick yourself and just take over? 0.94

00:51:47.120 Uncle Sam, like Negan. 0.98

00:51:51.860 I just realized Spencer is no more.

00:51:55.840 We took care of that problem.

00:51:57.360 There's no more sneaking around with little Spencer.

00:51:59.200 I will say, for those keeping track at home, the winner, Negan 4, Negan 3.

00:52:05.200 So in case you were wondering who won the pronunciation sweepstakes.

00:52:11.140 So I got it right.

00:52:11.840 It was Negan.

00:52:12.800 Yes.

00:52:13.100 I did get it right.

00:52:14.420 I did get it right.

00:52:15.480 Negan.

00:52:16.400 It's not an associate of Ronald Reagan.

00:52:19.100 It's not Negan.

00:52:19.520 I know, I know, I know.

00:52:20.420 It's Negan. 0.82

00:52:21.440 But that was interesting.

00:52:22.400 Well, can I tell you, I'm down here in Austin and the rules are different here.

00:52:27.380 So I was drinking all night.

00:52:29.480 What?

00:52:30.000 The rules are different in Austin?

00:52:31.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:32.940 Rules don't apply in Austin.

00:52:34.220 You go into Austin City proper, and if you're an alcoholic, you can drink.

00:52:39.480 Really?

00:52:40.280 Yeah.

00:52:40.720 Pretty convenient for you.

00:52:41.900 Yeah.

00:52:42.400 So I don't come down here very often, except every day, now that I found out the rules.

00:52:46.780 And I can drink.

00:52:49.200 So Negan, Negan, you know, Jack, Jack and Coke.

00:52:54.920 What's the difference, really?

00:52:56.980 Quite a bit.

00:52:58.940 All right.

00:52:59.620 Our sponsor this half hour is Liberty Safe.

00:53:02.080 How do you protect your most valuable items?

00:53:07.260 In case of a disaster, you know, the one thing about living in Texas that is, I'm sorry, I know a lot of the country deals with this, but I don't like it.

00:53:16.480 It's the one thing I hate about living in the center of the country, tornadoes.

00:53:20.720 Those I've lived through, hurricanes, earthquakes, earthquakes are pretty frightening, too.

00:53:28.640 Tornadoes scare the living batsnot out of me.

00:53:32.680 You never know when they're going to hit, and, you know, you're cowering, you know, under your floor, at least we are, in the cupboards.

00:53:43.500 We go into the pantry and lift up the floorboards and go underneath the house, and, oh, no, it's good waking the kids up.

00:53:50.300 They're not freaked out at all.

00:53:52.980 One thing we do know for sure is that our valuables, all of the things that I have from, you know, our guns to, you know, things from George Washington are bolted to the foundation of my house in a Liberty Safe.

00:54:07.680 And no matter what comes, that safe is going to be fine, and it's not going to open up.

00:54:13.980 We have seen these Liberty Safes that weren't bolted to the floor, lifted up by a tornado, and dropped a block away.

00:54:22.180 They're still closed.

00:54:23.860 When you open it, everything is still intact.

00:54:27.660 They are amazing, and they're built all here in America.

00:54:32.040 You can find them all around the country.

00:54:34.600 They come with a lifetime warranty.

00:54:36.780 You can find them in Cabela's and Gander Mountain stores.

00:55:12.680 You know, a really good example, we're just talking about Austin, Texas.

00:55:18.000 Just a great city.

00:55:19.500 Great city.

00:55:21.140 And some of the greatest cities in America are these big progressive cities.

00:55:27.340 The problem is, is the progressive takes over, like California, and they destroy it because they're not good at law and order.

00:55:37.960 They're not good at understanding business and taxes and everything else.

00:55:41.380 They're good at all of the arts and the beauty and everything else.

00:55:46.540 They're really good at that.

00:55:48.440 And that's why all the great cities in America, I think, are progressive cities because they look great.

00:55:56.140 They're beautiful, they're fun to be in, but once you're there, you see what sanctuary cities become just a city of disorder.

00:56:05.900 And you can't do business there.

00:56:08.380 You don't want to live there because of all of the laws.

00:56:10.880 The conservatives are good at law and order, and they're also good at freedom of leave me alone.

00:56:17.240 And if we can just go back to a time when we were getting together and we were like, okay, you can bring that to the community and leave me alone on all the rest of the stuff, and I'll leave you alone.

00:56:31.020 If we could just leave each other alone, we'd be fine.

00:56:34.220 But progressive cities want to control you, and that's the problem. 0.75

00:56:40.220 Lori, quickly, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:56:42.680 Hi, Glenn.

00:56:44.020 Yes.

00:56:44.460 You know, my husband and I are looking to move to Texas or Boise, Idaho, but now listening to you today, I'm not sure where to turn.

00:56:52.520 You know, we want to get out to California.

00:56:54.760 We're heading towards Texas or Boise, Idaho, but after listening to you today, I just don't know.

00:57:00.240 Well, they're still better.

00:57:01.520 Yeah, Texas is so great.

00:57:03.240 Texas is great, and I have a ranch in Idaho, so I live in the summer in Idaho, and I love Idaho.

00:57:08.880 Just know that the progressives from California have transformed Boise, Idaho and have also started to take a route here in Texas.

00:57:22.060 We need good conservatives to move in and be strong and push back because the Californians have destroyed California, and now they're like, oh, I hate California for what it's turned into, but look at this place.

00:57:34.360 It's beautiful.

00:57:35.040 Let's turn it into California.

00:57:36.940 Back in a minute.

00:57:37.840 We are one.

00:57:40.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:43.940 Mercury.

00:57:47.660 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:50.020 Listening to the media follow the 2016 presidential election, you might actually be led to believe that the polls and the media had never before gotten an election wrong.

00:58:04.720 Nothing could be further from the truth.

00:58:06.860 In the presidential election of 1948, the incumbent president, Harry S. Truman, who was the Democratic nominee and who had succeeded to the presidency after the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945, was running against Thomas Dewey, the Republican nominee, who had also been the Republican presidential nominee in 1944.

00:58:28.380 The election is considered to be the greatest election upset in American history.

00:58:33.900 Virtually every single prediction indicated that Truman would be defeated by Dewey.

00:58:40.860 In fact, there may have only been one person in the United States of America who actually firmly believed that Harry Truman would win the election.

00:58:48.680 The next four years, there'll be a Democrat in the White House, and you're looking at him.

00:58:55.880 That person was Harry Truman.

00:58:58.800 Somehow, through it all, Truman held on to the belief that he was going to pull off this amazing upset.

00:59:06.980 The New York Times was predicting Dewey would run away with the election.

00:59:11.600 The Gallup poll was so certain of the outcome, it stopped polling before the end of October.

00:59:16.500 Then came election night.

00:59:19.940 As early returns began to come in, the staff at the Chicago Tribune, one of America's largest newspapers at the time, were still confident enough in a Dewey victory to go to print with their first edition headline reading,

00:59:32.880 Dewey defeats Truman.

00:59:34.300 The story accompanying the headline was even more wrong.

00:59:39.380 In addition to declaring Dewey the president, it also declared a Republican sweep of the election, claiming Republican control of the House of Representatives and the Senate,

00:59:49.300 indicating that the GOP would have an easy time pushing through an agenda with control of Congress and the White House.

00:59:56.600 But that didn't happen.

00:59:59.820 Instead, not only did Truman win the presidency with an electoral vote of 303, 189 to 39, over Dewey and Dixiecrat's Dom Thurman,

01:00:09.160 but Democrats regained the control of the House and the Senate that they had lost in 1946.

01:00:15.700 The new media of the day were amazed at what they had witnessed.

01:00:19.280 I think we can all agree on one thing, that not politically, but looking at it from a news standpoint, this is a marvelous news story.

01:00:30.760 One of the great news story of all time.

01:00:32.660 Right.

01:00:33.500 What a lucky thing that three little fellows like us on this new and tremendously growing thing like television with this Life NBC team had a chance to play a part of it.

01:00:43.180 Dewey was gracious in his concession speech.

01:00:46.360 I've sent the following wire to President Truman.

01:00:49.400 My heartiest congratulations to you on your election and every good wish for a successful administration.

01:00:55.640 I urge all Americans to unite behind you in support of every effort to keep our nation strong and free and to establish peace in the world.

01:01:05.320 So the Democrats had set the all-time record for the party, winning their fifth consecutive presidential election in 1952.

01:01:14.160 Dwight Eisenhower finally reversed this trend.

01:01:17.580 Ike was now limited to two terms by the 22nd Amendment, which was quickly passed and added to the Constitution after FDR's four terms. 0.59

01:01:26.620 As a result, in 1960, Eisenhower's vice president, Richard Nixon, ran against a young, upstart senator, John F. Kennedy.

01:01:36.080 It was Kennedy's catchy presidential ad jingle that seemed to be effective.

01:01:41.500 Do you want a man for president who's seasoned through and through?

01:01:46.460 But that's a doggone season that he won't try something new.

01:01:50.640 A man who's old enough to know and young enough to do. 0.86

01:01:54.660 Well, it's up to you.

01:01:56.040 It's up to you.

01:01:57.040 It's strictly up to you.

01:01:58.620 Well, it's Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy.

01:02:03.920 Nixon's campaign was a little more low-key.

01:02:07.460 What is the most important issue confronting the American people in this election campaign?

01:02:12.840 There's no question about the answer that I have found in traveling all over this nation.

01:02:17.540 Above everything else, the American people want leaders who will keep the peace without surrender for America and the world.

01:02:25.140 Henry Cabot Lodge and I have had the opportunity of serving with President Eisenhower in this cause for the last seven and a half years.

01:02:33.600 We both know Mr. Khrushchev.

01:02:36.040 We have sat opposite the conference table with him.

01:02:39.160 We know what peace demands.

01:02:41.680 We will keep America the strongest nation in the world.

01:02:45.020 And we will couple that strength with firm diplomacy.

01:02:49.120 No apologies.

01:02:50.460 No regrets.

01:02:51.140 Plus, Nixon made multiple mistakes during the campaign that cost him dearly, including an incredibly poor performance in the nation's first televised presidential debate.

01:03:01.700 And he wound up losing to JFK by 112,000 votes nationwide, a 0.17 percent difference.

01:03:10.000 But there is no doubt that one of, if not the craziest elections in American history took place in 2000.

01:03:18.420 It happened between Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore.

01:03:26.240 The nation had been through scandal after scandal after scandal during the 1990s, the presidency of Bill Clinton.

01:03:32.000 And as a result, Clinton and Gore never campaigned together.

01:03:35.920 Everyone knew that it would be a close election, but few would have predicted that it would turn out as razor thin as it did.

01:03:43.960 The day before the election, Matt Lauer asked Tim Russert what he thought Americans should be watching for on Election Day.

01:03:50.660 What's the key element we should be watching for throughout the day tomorrow?

01:03:54.640 Florida, Florida, Florida.

01:03:56.600 I honestly believe, Matt, as goes Florida, we'll go the nation.

01:04:00.200 Russert's words turned out to be prophetic.

01:04:02.480 As we now know, it did indeed come down to Florida.

01:04:08.000 Election night turned out to be an absolute nightmare.

01:04:10.940 For who?

01:04:12.300 Well, for the media.

01:04:14.420 And because it was a nightmare for them, it was a nightmare for us.

01:04:18.720 We're going to now project an important win for Vice President Al Gore.

01:04:23.220 NBC News projects that he wins the 25 electoral votes in the state of Florida.

01:04:28.780 It turns out that Governor Jeff Bush was not his brother's keeper.

01:04:31.560 The family had been joking, and seriously, that it could be a cold Thanksgiving.

01:04:37.520 Tim Russert, that's great news in Nashville tonight.

01:04:41.140 NBC wasn't alone.

01:04:43.280 CNN announces that we called Florida in the Al Gore column.

01:04:47.760 This is the state both campaigns desperately wanted to win.

01:04:52.120 The state of Florida fought over very hard.

01:04:54.580 The state with a Republican governor named Bush, the brother of the Republican nominee, Jeff Greenfield.

01:05:00.180 Well, this is something that is not making the Bush campaign happy tonight.

01:05:03.100 This is a roadblock the size of a boulder to George W. Bush's path to the White House.

01:05:09.180 A short time later, CNN had to change their call.

01:05:12.800 I stand by CNN right now is moving our earlier declaration of Florida back to the too-close-to-call column.

01:05:25.300 25 very big electoral votes in the home state of the governor's brother, Jeff Bush, are hanging in the balance.

01:05:35.000 This no longer is a victory for Vice President Gore.

01:05:39.120 We're moving it back.

01:05:41.180 Oh, winner.

01:05:42.080 It should be too close to call.

01:05:43.160 One order of her, please.

01:05:44.880 Yes.

01:05:45.660 Early the next morning, the networks began to declare that Bush was now the winner of Florida.

01:05:50.520 And a few hours later, they were forced to withdraw that prediction as well.

01:05:54.120 By 4.30 a.m., the day after the election, the media had decided that Florida was too close to call for either candidate.

01:06:02.240 So they just gave up trying.

01:06:04.960 America would have to wait for days, even weeks, before the presidential race would be finally decided.

01:06:11.920 While Al Gore actually won the national popular vote by just over 500,000 votes,

01:06:17.100 In Florida, out of the 6 million votes cast, George W. Bush won the state by the now-famous number of 537 votes.

01:06:27.120 That is what triggered a recount in a massive battle in the court system, which ended up eventually in the United States Supreme Court.

01:06:34.600 And we all learned new terms like hanging chad, dimpled chad, and a pregnant chad. 0.78

01:06:41.940 First, you have to know that the punch hole is called a chad.

01:06:45.500 It is attached to the ballot by four threads.

01:06:48.780 In the morning, the commissioners had decided that if it had been detached by only one thread, it would not be counted as a vote.

01:06:56.020 Two detachments, maybe. Three definitely counted as a vote.

01:06:59.980 At some point in the process, that was changed.

01:07:03.140 And the commissioners decided that any chad that was detached to any degree would be counted as a vote.

01:07:09.040 Dozens of lawyers from both campaigns descended on Florida to weigh in on the process.

01:07:15.820 There are two other strange-sounding categories that were not counted as votes.

01:07:21.300 The first one is called the dimpled chad.

01:07:24.780 That is that there is an indentation in the chad.

01:07:27.540 The voter put some pressure on it, but didn't detach it at all from the ballot.

01:07:31.720 Not counted.

01:07:32.840 The final category is the pregnant chad.

01:07:36.100 That is, the chad was pierced with a hole, but not detached at all.

01:07:40.380 Those were not counted.

01:07:41.360 Now, the Republicans here, Cokie, seized on all of this confusion.

01:07:44.960 They said, see, we told you, this is a deeply flawed process.

01:07:48.440 It must stop.

01:07:49.660 But as we know, the county commissioners here have decided not to stop.

01:07:53.340 They will go for a full recount beginning tomorrow.

01:07:56.220 Litigation in select counties started additional recounts,

01:07:59.180 and this litigation ultimately reached the United States Supreme Court.

01:08:02.860 The court's contentious 5-4 decision in Bush v. Gore,

01:08:06.740 announced on December 12, 2000, finally ended all of the recounts.

01:08:11.060 Stating that the already certified recount would stand,

01:08:15.860 since the safe harbor for counting the electoral votes was at hand.

01:08:20.600 Since Bush had won the previous certified recount,

01:08:23.660 he also won Florida's 25 electoral votes,

01:08:26.620 and with it, the presidency of the United States.

01:08:29.080 By the slimmest of margins, 271 electoral votes to 266,

01:08:37.620 one of the closest races in all of American history.

01:08:41.640 The outcome gave rise to the phrase that Bush had been selected and not elected.

01:08:47.280 The Democrats were quick to point out that he wasn't a legitimate candidate,

01:08:51.840 something now many Democrats fail to remember.

01:08:54.460 And even though the Supreme Court had not selected a winner,

01:08:57.760 but simply put a stop to the process of recounting the votes over and over again,

01:09:02.160 it didn't stop the claims.

01:09:04.280 Through it all, Americans can take an enormous amount of pride.

01:09:08.540 Pride in the fact that no matter how close,

01:09:11.500 no matter how fought or contentious U.S. elections have been over all of the years,

01:09:16.260 they have always been decided through the constitutionally mandated process peacefully.

01:09:22.500 What makes America great?

01:09:25.560 Well, this is one of them.

01:09:27.260 We have peaceful transfers of power without violence and tanks rolling through our streets.

01:09:33.200 Starting next week in an exclusive serial on the Glenn Beck Program,

01:09:36.540 you'll learn the truth about communism and the men who used the ideology for their own bloodlust.

01:09:41.540 Listen to the entire catalog of serials at glennbeck.com slash serials.

01:09:45.700 I have to tell you, I love these.

01:09:47.460 This is the most expensive 15 minutes on national radio, on a daily program.

01:09:53.260 And we're proud of it, quite honestly.

01:09:56.160 They are really, truly great pieces of history that so many people just don't know, including us.

01:10:04.660 We just didn't know.

01:10:05.180 Well, that brought back a lot of memories.

01:10:06.880 A ton.

01:10:07.360 Yeah, the election of 2000, you forget just how intricate, close, contested.

01:10:12.700 And what we should have put in, and I can't believe that I didn't just say this while we were recording this serial,

01:10:18.500 was in the end, the New York Times came back and said,

01:10:22.380 every way you count it, Bush won.

01:10:26.200 Oh, yes.

01:10:27.240 Remember, that was...

01:10:27.940 Yeah, all the media recounts.

01:10:29.000 It wasn't just the New York Times.

01:10:30.800 All the media recounts came back that way.

01:10:32.560 I know, I know.

01:10:33.840 And by the way, can somebody help me?

01:10:36.360 What was the guy's name on CNN?

01:10:38.660 Bernie?

01:10:39.600 Shaw.

01:10:40.580 Shaw.

01:10:40.980 What ever happened to him?

01:10:43.280 I don't know, actually.

01:10:45.260 I don't know.

01:10:45.740 He might have retired.

01:10:46.920 I think he retired because he was...

01:10:49.500 Didn't he retire before he passed away?

01:10:50.900 Of course, as we found out, black don't crack, so maybe he was like a thousand. 0.98

01:10:57.000 But he didn't look that old.

01:10:58.460 I can't believe that he retired and went away.

01:11:00.200 I wonder if he's still alive.

01:11:01.140 One of the other things I love from that segment is that Tom Brokaw should never say the word

01:11:06.940 electoral, electoral college.

01:11:11.400 May I say also that the other thing I noticed was that Dewey, his concession speech, I wish

01:11:17.260 you well and we all have to come together and have you succeed for the nation.

01:11:23.060 I mean, there was a real contested election and he immediately...

01:11:27.380 He was gracious.

01:11:28.880 And so did Nixon.

01:11:30.160 Right.

01:11:30.460 With his narrow margin, he just...

01:11:32.840 It was never selected, not elected.

01:11:34.600 It was never an illegitimate president or anything like that.

01:11:38.520 Right.

01:11:38.740 Okay, let me tell you, our sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

01:11:43.840 China is now moving closer to Bitcoin rules.

01:11:47.540 The Chinese central bank said that their financial regulators are going to adopt now a forgiving

01:11:52.860 attitude toward domestic Bitcoin exchanges.

01:11:57.620 When China gets into Bitcoin, you're going to see Bitcoin take off.

01:12:04.700 And I think that's part of what you're seeing already.

01:12:06.920 Um, the acceptance of cryptocurrency in the second largest economy puts the digital economy

01:12:14.520 in the fast lane.

01:12:16.320 Now, what do you do?

01:12:19.180 What does this mean?

01:12:20.720 I don't think a crypto economy, I don't think Bitcoin, and I own Bitcoin, I don't think Bitcoin

01:12:25.460 is the future.

01:12:26.720 I think it is possibly a really risky, uh, maybe put some money in, maybe that you're not afraid

01:12:36.120 of losing, because I can't imagine that, um, countries like China or the United States are

01:12:41.700 going to let a third party control the currency.

01:12:45.500 They're going to do it.

01:12:46.920 The central banks are going to control the currency, and they will have the digital economy.

01:12:51.460 So what are you going to do?

01:12:53.260 Well, this is why I have 10% of everything that I have in gold.

01:12:56.820 Um, and I don't buy it as an investment.

01:12:59.520 I buy it as an insurance policy in case the world goes insane.

01:13:02.760 And look around, gang.

01:13:05.640 Call Goldline today and ask them for their free, updated, cashless society risk report.

01:13:11.040 You need to understand what this is all about.

01:13:13.860 It's one of the reasons why I'm at South by Southwest today.

01:13:16.040 I want to know more about what is coming with technology.

01:13:20.640 Read Goldline's important risk information.

01:13:22.400 Find out how buying gold is right for you.

01:13:23.720 Call 866-465-3546, 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE, or goldline.com.

01:13:31.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:35.100 Mercury.

01:13:39.220 888-727-BECK.

01:13:41.500 Yeah.

01:13:41.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:44.540 No, this, uh, this makes sense.

01:13:46.920 A new study out shows that Instagram is responsible for food waste.

01:13:52.440 Yeah.

01:13:52.600 That actually doesn't make sense to me.

01:13:54.200 Yes, it does.

01:13:55.200 People make food just to take pictures of it.

01:13:57.980 Well, then you could eat it.

01:13:59.640 But they're saying they're not eating it.

01:14:01.280 They're just throwing it away.

01:14:02.360 Is that what's going on?

01:14:04.080 I mean... 1.00

01:14:04.320 That's just stupid people. 1.00

01:14:05.480 Yeah. 1.00

01:14:05.760 That's not, that's not Instagram. 1.00

01:14:07.060 That's stupid people. 1.00

01:14:08.600 Watch them shut down Instagram over it, though. 1.00

01:14:10.480 Right.

01:14:10.860 Yeah.

01:14:11.160 How dare Instagram?

01:14:12.280 They're leading, they're, they're the leading cause of CO2, uh, emissions.

01:14:16.600 Emissions and starvation in China wasn't happening before Instagram shut down the bigots, racists, and children haters of Instagram.

01:14:26.140 We are one!

01:14:37.740 Glenn Beck.

01:14:40.680 Mercury.

01:14:41.320 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

01:14:58.820 Hello, America.

01:15:01.320 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:15:03.420 Your house, the house of the future, may be built start to finish within 24 hours.

01:15:12.060 Imagine, we're just going to clear this space, we're going to build a house from scratch within 24 hours.

01:15:19.820 And they are currently building them at that pace.

01:15:24.520 The house of the future and some political thoughts as I enter in here live from Austin, South by Southwest.

01:15:33.840 We begin there right now.

01:15:36.620 I will make a stand.

01:15:39.180 I will raise my voice.

01:15:40.620 I will hold your hand.

01:15:43.660 Cause we are one.

01:15:45.660 I will be my drum.

01:15:47.900 I have made my choice.

01:15:50.160 We will overcome.

01:15:52.420 Cause we are one.

01:15:54.540 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:15:58.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:03.420 Hello, America.

01:16:05.360 Welcome to the program.

01:16:07.020 So glad that you are, so glad that you're here.

01:16:08.920 Um, a couple of things.

01:16:10.760 First of all, uh, I guess women are not attracted to science and it's because we haven't made girls feel welcome in science. 0.71

01:16:21.780 Well, clearly Glenn girls have not been nurtured in a safe space. 0.99

01:16:26.480 Uh, and that has to stop because we must have them, uh, in the science industry, whether they want to be there or not.

01:16:35.160 Right.

01:16:35.780 I mean, do we ask girls, do you want to be in science? 0.96

01:16:39.040 I mean, who is telling a girl, sorry, honey, you can't, you can't get into the field of science. 0.99

01:16:43.820 Absolutely.

01:16:44.380 No, no. 1.00

01:16:45.820 Girls are too stupid. 1.00

01:16:47.360 You cannot be a scientist. 1.00

01:16:49.540 There's no such thing as a girl scientist. 0.99

01:16:51.760 In 27, who's saying that?

01:16:53.380 Nobody, nobody.

01:16:54.620 But this education specialist, uh, at, uh, Queensland University in Australia is saying that girls from 10 to 14 have to be nurtured in a safe space.

01:17:05.120 May I, may I ask, is anyone nurturing guys in a, in a positive direction?

01:17:11.560 No.

01:17:11.680 Anyone saying to our boys, you're needed, you're valuable.

01:17:15.780 Absolutely not.

01:17:16.500 You have, you have something important to contribute.

01:17:20.260 Guys are mocked, made fun of, ridiculed, um, pushed out, given, you know, um, uh, made into, uh, you know, woman, I am woman, hear me roar.

01:17:34.040 You're a boy.

01:17:35.220 You might be a girl.

01:17:36.920 I mean, what is happening?

01:17:39.140 This, I, I really think this is why progressivism and authoritarianism is about to go off the rails.

01:17:48.160 They always overplay their hand.

01:17:51.560 And I think there is this new undercurrent, uh, of, of anti-authoritarianism that is, is starting up and it's on both sides.

01:18:02.320 It's under the current so much as drowning.

01:18:05.060 But yes, it is under the current.

01:18:07.300 You are a little beam of sunshine.

01:18:08.600 And when did I become the positive one and you become the negative one?

01:18:14.180 Sorry about that.

01:18:15.040 We have switched roles in the last few months.

01:18:17.480 Oh, especially Stu.

01:18:18.780 Stu is, he's not in a good positive place right now.

01:18:21.960 No, you're not.

01:18:23.400 No, but there is, and I don't even, I don't even begin to understand this, but there is something called libertarian socialism.

01:18:30.380 What?

01:18:30.920 What?

01:18:31.500 That doesn't even make sense.

01:18:32.800 No, I know.

01:18:33.500 Listen, but this is, see, what's, what's happening is socialism has to the youth, I think, this happy face that, you know, it's all going to work out like it did in the Netherlands.

01:18:49.180 Well, no, the, the, the Netherlands, everybody thought alike in the Netherlands, everybody.

01:18:56.180 It was the most homogenized group of countries of all time.

01:19:01.620 And almost everybody was exactly the same.

01:19:06.200 So it was easy to bring people together.

01:19:08.440 Um, and it did work, but it's not working now.

01:19:13.320 The economics of it are not working now because, whoa, they introduced immigration and everybody went with their open border policy for the free stuff.

01:19:25.040 And lo and behold, it's not working.

01:19:27.660 And they thought if we just bring people here like us, they're going to want to be like us.

01:19:33.180 Well, the new immigrants didn't want to be like them. 1.00

01:19:35.620 Um, and so it's falling apart now, but to the average, um, you know, 20 something, I think that they believe they, they look at socialism differently because they've never had the threat of the iron curtain before.

01:19:54.100 So they never, they didn't grow up with any of that.

01:19:56.520 They don't know any of that.

01:19:57.420 And they certainly weren't taught.

01:19:58.780 Yeah.

01:19:58.880 And they don't know what socialism is.

01:20:00.300 They think it's socializing.

01:20:01.620 They think it's social media.

01:20:03.260 They think it's a really good thing.

01:20:04.700 Well, you got to explain to them what socialism is and what socialism has wrought.

01:20:09.740 So listen to this, because I, I, I just came across this in something I was reading, um, I don't know, earlier this week and I don't remember what it was.

01:20:17.740 And I've had to look it up because I'd never heard of it before, but listen to this, see if this makes any sense to you.

01:20:24.320 This is Wikipedia, libertarian socialism, uh, a group of anti-authoritarian political philosophies inside the socialist movement.

01:20:35.420 Okay.

01:20:36.780 Does that even make sense?

01:20:38.280 Nope.

01:20:38.880 Anti-authoritarian socialists that reject socialism as centralized state ownership and control of the economy as well as the state itself.

01:20:50.460 Also see confused, right?

01:20:53.100 It doesn't, it doesn't work.

01:20:54.420 It criticizes wage labor relationships within the workplace.

01:20:58.520 I don't even know what that means.

01:20:59.820 Instead, it emphasizes workers' self-management of the workplace.

01:21:04.060 You're just a libertarian.

01:21:05.440 And decentralized structures of political organization, libertarian.

01:21:09.680 And not socialist in any way.

01:21:11.420 In any way.

01:21:11.980 It asserts that a society based on freedom and justice can be achieved through the abolishing of authoritarian institutions that control certain means of production and subordinate the majority of an owning class or political and economic elite.

01:21:29.020 Libertarian socialists advocate for decentralized structures based on direct democracy.

01:21:34.460 That's trouble.

01:21:35.920 And federal and confederal associations such as libertarian municipalism, municipalism, citizens' assemblies, trade unions, and worker councils.

01:21:47.880 All of this is generally done within the general call for libertarian involuntary human relationships through the identification, criticism, and practical dismantling of the illegitimate authority in all aspects of human life.

01:22:01.460 Well, it's kind of like I think about the institutionalization of the human psyche.

01:22:05.260 Right.

01:22:06.000 Or the collectivization of manufacturing.

01:22:08.580 I don't know.

01:22:09.560 Well, one thing I do know is it's a symbol of reversibility that'll never be taken from the earth.

01:22:15.000 It is that same thing.

01:22:15.700 Here's the problem.

01:22:17.480 Here's the problem.

01:22:18.540 As such, libertarian socialism within the larger socialist movement seeks to distinguish itself both from Leninism, Bolshevism, and social democracy.

01:22:28.460 So, there's a chance because these two, you know, this is saying, I am for absolute state control if it gets rid of all absolute state control.

01:22:42.220 It doesn't make sense.

01:22:43.380 These two things don't work together.

01:22:45.040 And I'm wondering if it is the same thing that Lenin did to the masses when he said, remember, guys, we're not communists.

01:22:54.940 We're social democrats.

01:22:56.120 We're definitely not communists.

01:22:58.220 Yeah.

01:22:58.580 We're definitely not communists.

01:23:01.040 And it was just a word game that they were playing because this, for me at least, you know, may I ask you guys a question?

01:23:09.060 Well, how would you react to say, let's get a true Marxist professor or somebody who really understands it to, and they don't have to agree with it, just somebody who really understands it, to explain it to us?

01:23:29.200 Because have you guys ever read Das Kapital or any of that other stuff?

01:23:33.400 What's the other one?

01:23:34.900 Not for a couple of months.

01:23:36.560 What's the other one?

01:23:37.540 Das Kapital I've read, and that's the other one, the first one, the Communist Manifesto.

01:23:43.500 Oh, yeah.

01:23:44.260 Oof.

01:23:45.260 They, to me, it's like circular logic.

01:23:49.200 To me, it just, it's reading a foreign language.

01:23:52.800 I just don't get it.

01:23:54.740 And I would really love to hear from somebody who really knows it, explain it to me, to see if it, because I really want to understand it,

01:24:05.200 so that I can speak their language and go, okay, well, this doesn't work.

01:24:09.440 Yeah.

01:24:09.840 Because I don't even understand it.

01:24:11.440 It would be interesting to understand it from a person who views it positively point of view.

01:24:17.500 Yeah.

01:24:17.740 How do you believe that's a good thing?

01:24:19.820 How, and I guess, I guess you can kind of think, well, it takes care of the little guy, but it doesn't.

01:24:25.460 But if you believe that, that's, maybe that's the positive.

01:24:29.100 Maybe the audience can help us with, I want somebody who perhaps believes in it, but you don't have to buy into it.

01:24:37.000 Just somebody who can really, truly teach it as it really is.

01:24:44.100 You don't have to believe in it.

01:24:45.660 I just want somebody who can really teach it as it is with no bias against it, because I'm coming with a bias against it.

01:24:53.720 So I'd rather have somebody that I don't know if they're for or against, that are just explaining it on how it all works.

01:25:00.700 Because I've read Das Kapital a couple of times, and I can't make heads nor tails of it.

01:25:05.360 It just, it does not make any sense to me.

01:25:09.180 And so how can we possibly argue with libertarian socialism?

01:25:13.780 We should get somebody who's a libertarian socialist on, and have them explain this too.

01:25:19.540 And not to change their mind or to beat them up or anything else, just to explain it.

01:25:24.080 That doesn't seem like it would, it doesn't make any sense.

01:25:27.000 We should also try to get somebody who subscribes to the capitalist socialism theory.

01:25:30.840 That would be interesting as well.

01:25:33.540 Is there such a thing?

01:25:34.980 No, but there should be.

01:25:37.160 In today's world?

01:25:38.000 If there's libertarian socialists, there should be capitalist socialists.

01:25:41.400 Right.

01:25:41.680 Right.

01:25:42.860 Because it...

01:25:44.300 Capitalist collectivists.

01:25:45.740 Yeah.

01:25:46.260 I'm a capitalistic collectivist.

01:25:48.500 There was a party in the United States, a very small party, that was the, I think it was called the Green Nazi or the Nazi Green Party.

01:25:56.320 And they were a combination of Nazi beliefs and environmentalist beliefs.

01:26:01.280 That's a solid combination.

01:26:03.340 Is there any difference between the environmentalists and the...

01:26:05.840 Hang on just a second.

01:26:07.960 That is not so strange.

01:26:09.280 You know who the biggest, you know who would have been the biggest PETA supporter in the world?

01:26:14.060 Oh, yeah.

01:26:14.820 Would have been Adolf Hitler. 0.95

01:26:15.800 Oh, I mean, you go back, in all honesty, if we're talking honestly about this, Hitler's belief of living space was an environmental issue. 0.55

01:26:24.240 The fact that he wanted to, it was about him wanting to have more space because he was worried about the concerns of overpopulation.

01:26:31.160 He was concerned about having enough land to make food for everyone to live.

01:26:34.260 He needed living space because he was essentially an environmentalist on that issue.

01:26:39.040 Yes, he was.

01:26:39.540 Which is hilarious in a bizarre way.

01:26:42.220 And what's so strange is he loved animals more than he loved people.

01:26:48.700 He would not...

01:26:49.300 Oh, yeah.

01:26:49.580 Very heavy crime and penalty if you hurt an animal in Germany. 1.00

01:26:55.940 But kill a Jew? 0.99

01:26:57.260 Kill a person that was against the state? 1.00

01:26:58.800 No problem. 0.99

01:26:59.940 What, do you have five minutes?

01:27:01.460 Go ahead. 1.00

01:27:01.740 Kill as many as you want. 1.00

01:27:03.440 But animals, no.

01:27:04.680 And how much do we see of that mentality still in the world today?

01:27:10.580 That animals...

01:27:11.660 For instance, for instance, try this out for size.

01:27:13.460 Because you cannot kill a fetus.

01:27:18.800 I mean, sorry. 0.99

01:27:19.660 You can kill a fetus and not go to jail. 0.99

01:27:22.060 Not pay a fine. 0.99

01:27:23.000 Nothing.

01:27:24.580 Pat, this weekend, let's just go get some bald eagle eggs out of a nest.

01:27:34.860 Oh, yeah.

01:27:36.160 You'd go to jail.

01:27:36.940 That'll work well.

01:27:37.440 How about a federal...

01:27:38.160 I think that's a federal crime.

01:27:39.460 That's an egg.

01:27:40.480 Yeah.

01:27:40.680 That's not even a fetus.

01:27:43.040 That's an egg.

01:27:43.760 She could just lay the egg.

01:27:46.020 I could go into the nest.

01:27:47.720 I could take the bald eagle egg that I could crack open and make an omelet out of.

01:27:52.940 I will go to jail.

01:27:55.760 Because why?

01:27:56.940 Is that life?

01:27:58.020 Is that egg life?

01:27:59.280 Is that...

01:27:59.700 Are you telling me that egg that she just laid that I can eat right now as an omelet,

01:28:05.600 that somehow or another is a baby eagle?

01:28:08.880 No, no.

01:28:09.440 It's just an egg.

01:28:10.680 That's a great point. 0.56

01:28:11.820 Not to mention, I mean, God forbid you go and shoot a lion that's about to kill a family 0.99

01:28:16.740 of Nigerians. 0.99

01:28:17.560 Uh-huh. 1.00

01:28:18.000 Or you kill an ape that is about to potentially maul a child in front of onlookers. 0.98

01:28:24.720 And had already thrown him 10 feet through the air. 0.98

01:28:26.740 Yeah. 0.95

01:28:27.140 I mean, you do that and you're the worst person on earth. 0.84

01:28:29.680 Yeah. 0.91

01:28:29.840 Right.

01:28:30.560 Yeah.

01:28:31.740 Is that guy from Seattle on with us on Monday?

01:28:34.440 I have a guy who is a... 1.00

01:28:36.500 What guy?

01:28:37.580 Who I think might be a libertarian socialist.

01:28:40.620 I think he might be that guy.

01:28:43.320 I'm not sure.

01:28:44.500 I think libertarian socialism is a capitalist who's not an a-hole.

01:28:49.280 I think that's what they're thinking it is.

01:28:52.840 Okay. 0.99

01:28:53.040 Somebody who's just not a complete jerk. 0.94

01:28:56.040 I love the community and I want to help and we all have to... 0.97

01:28:59.440 I think that's what they...

01:29:00.860 Well, like that's the guy who runs Whole Foods, right?

01:29:04.580 Yes.

01:29:05.100 Yeah.

01:29:06.220 We've had him on the show before.

01:29:07.560 I can't think of his name off the top of my head.

01:29:08.600 But he's a libertarian.

01:29:09.880 But he's a nice libertarian.

01:29:11.480 They look at it, well, he's a capitalist, but he's nice.

01:29:14.300 And that means he's different than a capitalist.

01:29:16.140 Well, actually, capitalists are nice all the time.

01:29:18.280 That's not actually...

01:29:19.300 Not all of them.

01:29:19.720 Not all of them.

01:29:20.080 Not all of them.

01:29:20.640 They're just people.

01:29:21.580 And some people are nice and some people are not in all categories.

01:29:24.180 But the way it's vilified, capitalism is vilified, they look at someone like the guy

01:29:29.940 who runs Whole Foods and gives really good health care to his company and things like

01:29:32.940 that as a big exception to the rule when that's not really the case. 0.85

01:29:37.220 I know, because I'm a heartless bastard who runs a big company and, oh wait, gives really 0.90

01:29:41.680 good health care to his employees. 0.98

01:29:43.400 That's weird. 0.99

01:29:44.640 Seems like I was a bastard just a second ago. 0.99

01:29:47.560 I agree with them on you. 0.96

01:29:48.580 But outside of that, I think they don't think they have a good point.

01:29:50.720 But that's the problem.

01:29:52.720 They try to make all capitalists into villains unless you're somebody like Steve Jobs, who

01:29:59.260 is a capitalist, and Bill Gates, who's a capitalist and a great guy doing great things.

01:30:05.360 He loves all the politicians that we love.

01:30:08.960 So he's not really a capitalist.

01:30:11.320 That capitalist is fine.

01:30:13.200 It's crazy.

01:30:13.860 Unless you look at anything Steve Jobs did and the people who worked around him who did

01:30:18.300 not think he was a good guy at all.

01:30:20.780 I don't know how.

01:30:21.940 I mean, you want to talk about the greatest PR scam of all time is how is Steve Jobs looked

01:30:29.880 on as one of the greatest guys ever when he was truly a monster?

01:30:36.080 I mean, you know what it is?

01:30:37.620 He is the Edison of our day. 0.76

01:30:43.300 Edison was a monster.

01:30:45.180 Edison, when he first got the x-ray machine, he would try it on people's arms and he would

01:30:50.860 just take his researchers and say, here, put your arm underneath this for an hour.

01:30:54.020 Let's see what it does.

01:30:54.840 One guy lost an arm because of it.

01:30:58.900 The other guy died of cancer.

01:31:01.000 And Edison was like, huh, OK, so it might have something to do with cancer.

01:31:05.580 You can burn yourself so bad we have to amputate the arm.

01:31:08.160 And he didn't care.

01:31:10.360 And everybody thinks of Edison as this great guy.

01:31:12.420 No, he wasn't.

01:31:13.480 Same with Steve Jobs.

01:31:15.040 Now this from Goldline.

01:31:16.560 Chinese acceptance of cryptocurrency might not be the biggest story this week.

01:31:20.860 The SEC decided on Bitcoin here in the United States.

01:31:25.660 Actually, it's supposed to decide today.

01:31:30.240 The agency has to decide if the stock exchange, the bat stock exchange, can change its rules

01:31:36.040 to offer a Bitcoin ETF, an exchange traded fund.

01:31:40.700 If the agency approves the ETF application, money managers who now want to include Bitcoin

01:31:45.680 in their portfolio are likely to jump in.

01:31:48.420 Boy, you want to talk about a day to buy Bitcoin.

01:31:50.880 Basically, millions of ordinary people will have an easy new way to buy the digital currency.

01:31:57.280 Digital currency is coming.

01:32:01.100 Now, what does that do?

01:32:03.380 I don't believe Bitcoin is the coin of the future because it cuts the state out and the

01:32:09.560 state wants control.

01:32:11.860 The banks want control.

01:32:13.780 Why?

01:32:14.260 Why would a bank say yes to Bitcoin?

01:32:18.180 You no longer need them.

01:32:20.020 You'll put them out of business.

01:32:21.980 That's not going to happen.

01:32:25.700 Control.

01:32:26.280 Remember, follow the money and it always leads to control of people.

01:32:30.860 Call Goldline today and ask for the one thing that will be worth something.

01:32:34.460 And you can actually hold it in your hand and it will always be worth something.

01:32:40.840 Generations of time to come.

01:32:43.220 Gold.

01:32:43.880 Call Goldline today.

01:32:45.220 Ask for their updated free cashless society risk report.

01:32:48.020 Read Goldline's important risk information.

01:32:49.740 Find out if buying gold is right for you at 1-866-465-3546.

01:32:58.460 Glenn Beck.

01:32:59.800 Yeah.

01:33:00.680 Do you want to get away to beautiful Las Colinas, Texas?

01:33:03.580 That sounds nice.

01:33:04.420 Bask in an abnormally large concrete building?

01:33:06.660 Sure, why not?

01:33:07.520 With an inexplicable round window on top?

01:33:09.860 Yeah.

01:33:10.440 Have your shoulders massaged by a heavy breathing talk show host and his large manly-esque hands?

01:33:15.480 Ah, well, I don't know about that.

01:33:16.900 Great!

01:33:17.620 What?

01:33:18.360 Oh, it's okay.

01:33:19.220 I don't...

01:33:19.480 It will blow your mind.

01:33:21.440 Oh.

01:33:22.100 If you'll be in Texas and want to attend a taping of the Glenn Beck Program, write us.

01:33:26.880 Tickets at glennbeck.com.

01:33:31.620 Mercury.

01:33:35.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:38.280 Saw a guy in the Rubin Report yesterday.

01:33:40.920 His name is Colin Moriarty.

01:33:46.360 Have you ever heard of him, guys?

01:33:47.600 Mm-mm.

01:33:48.780 He is a guy...

01:33:49.660 I've heard of Dr. Moriarty.

01:33:52.440 He's that guy that...

01:33:54.400 It would be Professor Moriarty.

01:33:55.600 Professor Moriarty.

01:33:57.100 But this was on the Rubin Report.

01:33:58.080 He was also a doctor.

01:33:59.020 He had a PhD.

01:34:00.580 This was on...

01:34:01.260 Right.

01:34:03.260 And what was it in?

01:34:04.660 And what was it in?

01:34:05.720 Murder.

01:34:05.780 In murder.

01:34:06.700 Okay.

01:34:07.640 So anyway, Colin Moriarty, he's a guy who lives in...

01:34:10.900 He's a gamer who's a 20-something that lives in San Francisco.

01:34:16.820 And he is right up our alley.

01:34:20.540 He is a conservative constitutionalist.

01:34:24.280 And by his words, conservative.

01:34:26.700 Not mine.

01:34:28.160 And I tweeted at him last night.

01:34:31.400 I said, I need to start following you on Twitter.

01:34:36.040 And asked him to be a part of the show.

01:34:38.460 So, Stu...

01:34:39.400 I mean, Keith, our producer, if you can reach out to him and book him.

01:34:43.620 I think you're going to like this guy.

01:34:45.020 He's a possible candidate for the next generation of conservatism.

01:34:51.180 Where is the conservative movement going?

01:34:55.020 The real conservative movement going?

01:34:57.620 Hopefully, we'll talk to Colin Moriarty on Monday.

01:35:00.340 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:09.780 Mercury.

01:35:13.460 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:15.360 You know, I just checked my private messages on Twitter, which I've never done before.

01:35:25.960 Wow.

01:35:27.220 A lot.

01:35:27.720 I should have checked those before.

01:35:30.240 Wow.

01:35:30.700 I just got this one.

01:35:31.500 You ready for this one?

01:35:32.220 Let me see.

01:35:33.840 But where is it?

01:35:36.140 I just got one from Jake Tapper.

01:35:37.560 When I say just got one, about eight months ago.

01:35:40.740 This is probably not a good thing to read on the air.

01:35:43.680 And while you're looking over them, deciding whether you actually should read...

01:35:46.740 Apparently, I did something, and he's like, what the hell was that, man?

01:35:50.380 So, apparently, we were talking about him on the air sometime, and I'm sorry, Jake.

01:35:53.500 I don't know what it was.

01:35:55.500 Sorry.

01:35:57.220 But anyway...

01:35:57.420 You'll have to tweet back to him and tell him you...

01:35:59.160 I don't think you should address this any further.

01:36:01.820 No, I don't think so, either.

01:36:02.880 I wonder what that was.

01:36:04.120 But it was a long time ago, so maybe he forgot until right now.

01:36:08.740 Huh.

01:36:09.240 You can communicate privately on Twitter.

01:36:11.360 I mean, people actually do that.

01:36:12.720 Yeah.

01:36:13.400 Anthony Wiener does it.

01:36:14.620 Yeah, he sure does.

01:36:15.120 That's how he got in trouble.

01:36:16.880 Yeah.

01:36:17.180 I don't do that, so don't write me there.

01:36:19.680 Another thing you can do on Twitter is follow people without telling them you follow them.

01:36:23.080 You can just click the little follow button.

01:36:24.260 Well, no, I was making a point that I did that, and then I was making a point that other

01:36:27.840 people should follow him as well, because I thought he was very smart.

01:36:31.000 Anyway, is Nick in the studio yet?

01:36:34.140 Yes.

01:36:34.820 He is.

01:36:35.120 We have Nick Adams.

01:36:37.180 I'm in Austin at South by Southwest.

01:36:39.280 We have Nick Adams, who is the author of The Green Card Warrior, which is a book just

01:36:45.780 a few days ago.

01:36:46.540 The president of the United States tweeted out, Nick Adams' new book, Green Card Warrior

01:36:53.420 is a must-read.

01:36:54.740 The merit-based system is the way to go.

01:36:57.600 Canada, Australia, at Fox and Friends.

01:37:00.440 So, how did that work out for you, Nick?

01:37:05.100 A little boost in sales?

01:37:06.380 Yeah, absolutely.

01:37:07.300 Look, the last week or so has been pretty much incredible.

01:37:11.460 We cracked the top 100 in the world for book sales.

01:37:15.680 Wow.

01:37:16.500 I was on the front page of every single newspaper in the country.

01:37:20.180 I've had the opportunity to spar, and across the world, I've had the opportunity to spar with

01:37:24.540 Piers Morgan over gun rights on Good Morning Britain television.

01:37:30.160 So, Nick, you're the guy who tried to get into the United States for a very long time.

01:37:36.680 You were blocked because you were anti-Obama, and at least that's what I would take from

01:37:44.800 it, and I think you kind of took that from it as well.

01:37:47.780 You came here.

01:37:48.780 You're very patriotic.

01:37:50.220 For some strange reason, you fell in love with America in Australia, and now you have

01:37:55.600 founded something.

01:37:56.380 You're the executive director of FLAG, the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness.

01:38:01.700 Yeah, that's exactly right, Glenn.

01:38:03.920 I've come to America to make sure that America doesn't turn out like the country I had to 1.00

01:38:08.480 leave. 0.99

01:38:09.200 I've come to make sure that America doesn't turn out like every other country in the 1.00

01:38:13.460 world, that we preserve everything that is special and different and amazing about the

01:38:18.600 United States of America.

01:38:19.920 In almost 5,000 years of recorded human history, we'd never seen a country, a culture, or a

01:38:25.380 people like the American people, nation, and culture.

01:38:28.960 And it's really disturbing to me that for several generations now, we have not passed on what

01:38:34.080 it means to be an American, what Americanism is.

01:38:38.300 And so I've come over here and I've set up a 501c3, a non-profit called FLAG, the Foundation

01:38:44.140 for Liberty and American Greatness, and we go into elementary, middle, and high schools

01:38:48.520 talking to students about what makes America special, what makes America different, why

01:38:54.040 is the Constitution the best political document ever written, what would the world look like

01:38:58.600 without the United States of America, what would the world be like today had it not been

01:39:03.040 for American leadership in the 20th century, why has it been an unparalleled force for good

01:39:07.600 in the world, what has America given the world.

01:39:10.240 I would imagine that you're very popular in Christian schools, some private schools, how

01:39:19.080 are you doing with the public schools with that message?

01:39:21.420 Glenn Flagg has been into 35 schools, 31 of which have been public schools.

01:39:28.360 Out of Texas?

01:39:29.360 Out of Texas?

01:39:30.160 No, in California.

01:39:31.940 Yes.

01:39:32.460 Oh, in California.

01:39:34.160 He's been all over the place.

01:39:35.080 In eight different states.

01:39:36.080 We've already trained more than 4,000 students across eight different states, and we are one

01:39:41.520 of the fastest growing non-profits right now in America.

01:39:44.960 We are absolutely killing it.

01:39:46.940 In terms of pushback, you know, when I first started this, people said to me, said, Nick,

01:39:50.520 this is a fantastic idea, but there's no way in the world that you are ever going to get

01:39:56.180 any public schools to let you in.

01:39:58.340 Well, I'm here to tell you that we are 35 and 0.

01:40:01.200 The pushback has been very limited.

01:40:02.960 We've had a couple of isolated incidents where a teacher has made a remark or a student

01:40:08.280 has pushed back, but we take that in our stride, and I'm sure that there's going to be more

01:40:14.200 pushback in the future, but we welcome that because that just means that we're being remarkably

01:40:18.640 effective.

01:40:20.160 And if you want your school to get involved, I guess you would just go to FlagUSA.org?

01:40:25.340 That's exactly right.

01:40:26.400 FlagUSA.org.

01:40:27.320 So tell me about, tell me about how, how did this tweet from President Obama happen?

01:40:34.540 Or, sorry, President Trump happen?

01:40:36.040 Well, thankfully, President Obama never tweeted about that.

01:40:38.520 That would be too positive.

01:40:40.360 But no, look, President Trump watched me on television.

01:40:43.140 He'd already had a copy of Green Card Warrior that we had furnished for him some time ago.

01:40:49.120 And he saw me on Fox and Friends talking about a merit-based immigration system and basically

01:40:57.360 saying that we need to bring the best people to America if we're going to make sure that

01:41:01.040 America remains the best country in the world.

01:41:03.720 Does Australia do that?

01:41:05.340 We do.

01:41:05.960 We do.

01:41:06.920 Australia does.

01:41:08.060 Canada does.

01:41:08.980 There are a number of countries around the world that employ a particular points grading

01:41:14.360 system, which means that if you've got proficiency in English, if you've got certain jobs, skills,

01:41:20.860 if you've got job prospects, you get a certain amount of waiting for that and that elevates

01:41:26.920 you.

01:41:27.180 How is it, Nick, do you think that it became fashionable to believe that America is the only

01:41:33.640 country on earth that can't do that?

01:41:34.960 But why do we get such vitriol directed at us when we try to control our borders, when

01:41:42.020 we ask that you at least come here legally, then we're haters, we're not inclusive, we

01:41:48.180 don't want any diversity, we're racist, all of those things, when almost every country

01:41:52.080 in the world asks something of the people who immigrate there.

01:41:56.420 That's exactly right.

01:41:57.160 Look, there's been a war on border security going back at least 30 years.

01:42:01.740 And the reality is that there's nothing more normal, nothing more logical.

01:42:06.680 Every country has the right to determine who comes into their country and the circumstances

01:42:10.240 under which they come.

01:42:11.100 It's our home.

01:42:11.520 Do you let just any stranger come into your home?

01:42:14.120 Yeah, I don't know who they are, but they're just here now.

01:42:16.800 No, no, no, no, they're not just here.

01:42:18.420 No, no, no.

01:42:18.840 They're not just here now.

01:42:19.920 They're family.

01:42:20.660 Yeah, right.

01:42:21.360 Yeah, that's right.

01:42:22.100 You're not somebody who broke into the house.

01:42:24.560 Yeah.

01:42:24.960 You're family.

01:42:25.940 I got 68 people downstairs in the basement.

01:42:28.440 They're just, it's a new family of ours. 0.95

01:42:30.660 It's ridiculous. 0.98

01:42:32.800 It is. 0.99

01:42:33.040 The left are running the narrative.

01:42:34.360 They've captured all of those cultural institutions that shape the culture and shape the messaging.

01:42:40.380 And unfortunately, the messaging is now that if you just demand that, you know, we make

01:42:45.060 sure that we vet people coming from dangerous countries to the United States, all of a sudden 0.98

01:42:49.760 that makes you racist and bigoted.

01:42:51.840 Right.

01:42:51.980 And you're defaming the character of those people.

01:42:54.980 So unfortunately, political correctness is causing there to be a lack of clear-mindedness,

01:43:02.120 a lack of right thinking in the culture and in the country.

01:43:06.400 And that's really why we need to fight it as hard as we possibly can.

01:43:10.480 Have you seen anybody, by the way, we're talking to Nick Adams, the founder and executive director

01:43:14.460 of Flagg.

01:43:14.860 Have you seen any evidence of some of the students having a realization when you're there?

01:43:19.860 Do you think you're having an impact?

01:43:21.400 Absolutely.

01:43:22.200 Look, we were in St. Louis, Missouri back in December.

01:43:25.720 And actually, this was one of the four private schools that we've spoken at.

01:43:28.620 It was a Catholic school.

01:43:30.120 St. Louis University High School was its name.

01:43:32.640 And there were six African-American students.

01:43:34.680 And I'm here to report to you that race relations in St. Louis, Missouri are at an all-time low,

01:43:40.200 of course, after eight years of the Obama administration and them driving a Texas-sized truck straight

01:43:45.900 through deliberately to break open that chasm.

01:43:49.320 And anyway, there were about 100 students.

01:43:52.220 It was an after-school event.

01:43:53.780 And these six African-American students came and sat in the second row.

01:43:57.380 And they pushed back hard because I told them that this is the best country in the world

01:44:01.100 for a black person to live. 0.52

01:44:02.780 And that America is the least racist, multiracial country in the world.

01:44:06.240 And that this is the only place where they're free to color outside of the lines, where they

01:44:10.600 can fall down 5,000 times, get up 5,001, where they can do whatever it is that they want

01:44:15.720 to do. 0.95

01:44:16.500 And unfortunately, they had just been brainwashed into believing that because they were black, 0.99

01:44:22.720 America was a terrible place. 0.95

01:44:24.700 Anyway, and I asked them to tell me if they knew any black people in their community that

01:44:29.460 had ever left America to go anywhere else.

01:44:31.400 And the answer was no.

01:44:33.240 And then I asked them if they were aware that more black Africans have immigrated voluntarily

01:44:38.700 to the United States than came as slaves.

01:44:41.300 They again told me no.

01:44:43.120 Anyway, and there was some very, very heated discussion back and forth for the next two

01:44:47.840 hours because this was an after-school event.

01:44:50.380 And at the very conclusion, those six African-American students came up to me and they said, Mr.

01:44:55.480 Adams, we want to say thank you for coming to our school.

01:44:58.100 We're not sure yet whether or not we agree with you, but we want to tell you that you

01:45:02.660 put things in a way that we hadn't previously considered.

01:45:06.300 And for me, that was a victory.

01:45:08.100 That's awesome.

01:45:08.540 For me, because I'm going to go back there.

01:45:09.600 That is a victory.

01:45:10.480 And talk to those children.

01:45:11.720 That's how we win back the future.

01:45:13.420 That's how we transform a generation.

01:45:15.320 What is it like to be an African-American?

01:45:17.960 What is it like to be an African-Australian?

01:45:21.560 Well, exactly.

01:45:23.120 Look, we don't have too many Africans in Australia.

01:45:25.920 But look, this is the only place where anybody can rise above the circumstances of their birth

01:45:32.840 to go and achieve whatever they want to achieve.

01:45:35.280 And I told those students...

01:45:36.440 People don't believe that.

01:45:37.760 I know.

01:45:37.920 I mean, they think that Australia, I mean, you know, it's just like the United States.

01:45:42.700 What is the difference?

01:45:43.800 The difference is massive, Glenn.

01:45:45.680 In Australia, success is resented.

01:45:48.000 In Australia, you can't colour outside of the lines.

01:45:50.620 You can't blaze a trail.

01:45:52.200 You can't leave a legacy.

01:45:53.280 People are rooting for your failure rather than your success.

01:45:57.840 You know, people strive for mediocrity as opposed to greatness.

01:46:00.300 Sadly, that's starting to take root.

01:46:02.340 But that's why we're fighting back.

01:46:04.000 That's why I go and I tell these kids that the day that they were born in the United States

01:46:08.320 of America is the day that they won the lottery of life.

01:46:12.700 It's true.

01:46:13.180 And they got a head start on everyone.

01:46:14.960 And I beg them, I implore them, I beseech them to never, ever buy into this false narrative

01:46:21.140 posited by the left that America is this bigoted and awful place.

01:46:25.960 This is a country of unlimited opportunities.

01:46:27.980 You can do anything.

01:46:30.180 And so FLAG is doing these uplifting, motivational, patriotic talks at these schools.

01:46:35.840 We've got the world's first kid-friendly constitution.

01:46:38.580 Glenn, you're going to love this.

01:46:39.580 We've got the U.S. Constitution translated by Scalia interns into plain English that even

01:46:46.200 an eight-year-old can understand.

01:46:47.640 Oh, I love that.

01:46:48.160 Is it available online?

01:46:49.960 Can I find that?

01:46:50.680 Not yet.

01:46:51.420 We're about six weeks away.

01:46:53.040 But I want to come back on the show and tell you about it.

01:46:55.360 But I can tell you this is the world's first kid-friendly constitution.

01:46:59.200 We responded.

01:46:59.860 The kids were saying we love the constitution, but we're turned off by it because it's hard

01:47:04.040 to understand.

01:47:05.280 You do the Declaration of Independence as well?

01:47:07.180 Yes, sir.

01:47:07.700 We have.

01:47:08.020 That's right up next.

01:47:09.520 Yes, we have.

01:47:10.780 And we want to get that into the hands of as many kids as we can in America.

01:47:13.760 So you got it to eight-year-old levels.

01:47:15.780 If we can get it to maybe four-year-old, then I think maybe voters will actually start to

01:47:19.580 understand that.

01:47:20.580 That would be great.

01:47:21.640 Yeah.

01:47:21.940 Well, look, that's right.

01:47:22.900 We wanted to make it relatable.

01:47:24.220 So we've got images.

01:47:25.340 We've got graphic designs.

01:47:26.820 We've got cartoons.

01:47:29.060 And we're going to do it in a nice big format, not the usual size of the constitution.

01:47:33.900 It's going to be for kids all the way from eight years old up until 18.

01:47:38.980 And because we want our kids tethered to the values and the virtues that emanate from

01:47:45.980 the constitution that catapulted America to the pinnacle nation on this earth.

01:47:50.540 Anyway, they get it is great.

01:47:51.780 Right. 0.98

01:47:51.880 Seriously, instead of telling them, we know it's difficult, butch up, dummy. 0.93

01:47:56.500 Read it anyway. 0.79

01:47:57.500 Yeah, that's right.

01:47:58.560 Look, and it's not going to be a substitute for the real thing.

01:48:01.120 There are obviously indispensable phrases in the constitution that we want them to know.

01:48:06.160 But just small things like saying to form a more perfect union, to form a more perfect

01:48:11.840 country.

01:48:12.760 It's just small things like that that will hopefully make sure that kids will be really

01:48:18.660 drawn and magnetized to the constitution because that's the greatest political document ever

01:48:23.660 written.

01:48:24.420 And we want kids, we want the next generation of Americans to understand the centrality

01:48:29.680 of that document to America's continued prosperity and success.

01:48:34.120 Nick Adams.

01:48:34.940 So glad that you're here.

01:48:35.900 Glad you're a friend of ours.

01:48:37.300 And God bless you on all of the work that you're doing.

01:48:40.640 Founder and executive director of FLAG, the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness.

01:48:45.760 Nick Adams, you can find more information and I would imagine make a donation to help

01:48:50.700 his 501c3 out.

01:48:52.120 We would love that.

01:48:53.060 At flagusa.org.

01:48:55.040 If it sounds like something that you want to be involved with, go to flagusa.org.

01:49:01.100 Thanks, Nick.

01:49:01.540 We'll talk to you again later.

01:49:03.700 Now this, when it comes to protecting your home and keeping your family safe, simply safe,

01:49:10.360 has a great invention.

01:49:12.520 In fact, several of them.

01:49:13.660 They are the security company that is selling directly to you, the consumer.

01:49:19.580 So they cut out the middleman.

01:49:20.880 So there's nobody coming over to your house.

01:49:22.880 There's nobody coming over to your house to wire everything.

01:49:26.500 You can count the windows and doors.

01:49:28.620 You can, you know, read up enough on the website on where you should have a motion detector.

01:49:33.920 You can install that because there's no wires.

01:49:36.520 It really is, you know, peel it off and stick it to the wall kind of stuff.

01:49:42.020 And then it's all Bluetooth.

01:49:43.940 So there's no wiring at all.

01:49:47.220 You can have oxygen sensors, fire sensors.

01:49:51.700 If somebody breaks glass or opens a window or opens a door, somebody moves where there's

01:49:57.120 not supposed to be any movement.

01:49:58.640 It'll automatically set off your alarm.

01:50:00.500 And if you'd like, for $14.95 a month, they will also alert police.

01:50:05.500 Now they have something new that they've added.

01:50:07.700 The new security camera that is different than all security cameras.

01:50:12.140 If an intruder tries to break in, the camera automatically starts recording.

01:50:16.600 Not only will Simply Safe call the police, but they will present the police with the evidence.

01:50:21.600 This is who broke into the house.

01:50:23.400 Here's the guy.

01:50:25.260 Only with Simply Safe.

01:50:27.220 And you can check in in your home at any time, anywhere via a live stream HD footage directly

01:50:32.060 to your smartphone.

01:50:33.620 And by the way, to stop people from hacking into that, it also comes with a cover that

01:50:38.260 automatically goes down.

01:50:40.200 And so only when the alarm is tripped will anybody but you see anything.

01:50:44.840 If you want to see for yourself, Simply Safe's brilliant technology is available now.

01:50:49.260 Simply Safe Beck.com.

01:50:50.500 And the best thing about technology is it makes everything much, much more inexpensive and

01:50:55.540 affordable.

01:50:56.440 You can get a 10% discount right now if you go to SimplySafeBeck.com.

01:51:00.860 That's SimplySafeBeck.com.

01:51:05.140 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:09.000 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:14.840 Wow.

01:51:15.040 You know, we didn't get a chance to talk about how Hooters is now considering hiring a bunch

01:51:21.760 of men because they're getting so much flack.

01:51:24.320 And reminds me of when Pat and I opened up the Baltimore Hooters.

01:51:30.360 We did.

01:51:30.920 The Inner Harbor opened up a Hooters and we came in and wore the hot pants and did the

01:51:36.440 serving that day.

01:51:37.680 We looked hot though.

01:51:38.740 I am so very grateful.

01:51:40.780 This is one of those moments you can look back and be grateful for certain things like

01:51:44.400 no iPhones in the time.

01:51:46.520 In 1990.

01:51:47.100 Yeah.

01:51:47.400 That's a really good thing.

01:51:48.280 There's got to be a Polaroid somewhere.

01:51:50.660 I don't think so.

01:51:52.300 I don't think there's a picture that survived.

01:51:56.560 By the way, Daylight Savings starts this weekend.

01:51:58.780 Don't forget.

01:51:59.380 Yeah.

01:52:00.020 So we fall back.

01:52:01.340 No, you spring ahead.

01:52:02.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:52:07.960 Mercury.
