The Glenn Beck Program - 3⧸24⧸17 - Full Show

00:00:00.700 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:00:04.700 And welcome to the program. Today, a really big day. Today is the day of the health care.

00:00:10.360 It either passes or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, Donald Trump has said he's done with health care.

00:00:18.280 I want to hear from you. Yesterday, it was overwhelming.

00:00:23.300 This audience called in and said, reject it. Don't do Ryan care.

00:00:30.580 But if you don't, Donald Trump says he won't go for it again.

00:00:36.680 Where do you stand on this? We'll give you all the details.

00:00:39.660 And we want to hear from you right now at 888-727-BECK.

00:00:44.380 I want to hear your voice on this. 888-727-BECK. We go there right now.

00:00:51.300 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand.

00:00:58.040 Because we are one. I will beat my drum. I have made my choice.

00:01:04.720 We will overcome. Because we are one.

00:01:09.080 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:12.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:16.460 I mean, that's pretty amazing.

00:01:21.640 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:23.500 We're just discussing what does it mean that the president is done with this?

00:01:28.960 I mean, first of all, you don't write the law anyway.

00:01:31.480 Right. It doesn't come from you. You sign it at the end.

00:01:35.280 And it's up to Congress to do it.

00:01:38.040 It's up to Congress. Then it goes to the Senate.

00:01:40.740 So if they write a tremendous bill, you're going to now veto it because you're throwing a temper tantrum?

00:01:45.560 Or is he saying, I will, I don't know, sabotage it?

00:01:51.160 Or I will make sure that I speak out against it?

00:01:58.220 Or what?

00:02:00.160 It was a bizarre threat.

00:02:02.040 Bizarre threat.

00:02:02.940 And it's not, you know, it's being received as if he gets to say that the health care bill will no longer exist if they don't vote for it today.

00:02:13.120 And it's like, well, they're co-equal branches of government.

00:02:16.120 Congress can do whatever they want.

00:02:17.900 And if you want to veto it, then you can veto it.

00:02:20.580 But that's not really.

00:02:21.780 But I will tell you, I mean, I really don't understand this.

00:02:25.240 I really think this is Bannon's play for chaos.

00:02:30.780 We all know that chaos is coming in the health care world because this is not going to last.

00:02:39.700 It has to be changed.

00:02:44.460 In my opinion, it has to be fully repealed, pulled up by the roots and the free market restored and freed up.

00:02:55.520 I mean, we can't go back to what we had because what we had wasn't working.

00:02:58.780 It was a hybrid of socialism and capitalism.

00:03:02.080 Now it's even a worse hybrid of socialism and capitalism.

00:03:06.200 There's only two answers.

00:03:08.200 You go single payer, full socialism or you go full capitalism.

00:03:13.320 You know which side I'm for.

00:03:15.640 The president has said from the beginning he is for full fledged socialism.

00:03:20.620 Not in his words, but he says a single payer government pays for everybody on everything.

00:03:26.560 Well, he said a lot of things about it, but he did say that as well.

00:03:30.420 Oh, he was that that he was crystal clear on, though.

00:03:33.240 Yeah.

00:03:34.420 So what does this mean?

00:03:37.060 Who would be advising the president to say these things?

00:03:40.540 I'm I'm I'm just not going to I'm going to take my ball and go home.

00:03:45.340 Well, I mean, it's got to be solved.

00:03:47.500 I don't know that anybody advise advises him to say it.

00:03:49.940 He just says it.

00:03:51.020 I mean, that's that's him.

00:03:52.500 That's that's Trump speak right there.

00:03:54.460 Well, I think I think it's his negotiation, right?

00:03:56.680 He's saying I don't want to spend any more time on this.

00:03:59.500 He's now threatening to blame Paul Ryan for it.

00:04:02.260 He's now saying that, you know, they should have done tax reform first and, you know, it's a big problem.

00:04:09.520 But it's like it's amazing how far our Overton window really goes.

00:04:13.640 I mean, you know, think about this.

00:04:15.620 Like if we had it, let's just say scale from one to ten, one being the least amount of government possible in health care, ten being single payer, you know, England.

00:04:22.740 And let's say we were at a five in 2008 and Barack Obama comes in, passes Obamacare and it moves from a five to an eight.

00:04:29.960 This bill essentially is making it go from an eight back to a seven.

00:04:33.920 OK, or a seven, five.

00:04:35.420 And some would argue an eight, five.

00:04:36.940 Yeah.

00:04:37.400 So but it's barely moving the needle.

00:04:39.220 Yeah.

00:04:39.760 And so all the conservatives.

00:04:41.580 Massey actually said it's worse than Obamacare.

00:04:43.600 He did.

00:04:43.820 He did.

00:04:44.060 Yeah.

00:04:44.260 Well, I think it is because it's a fix that accelerates the bankruptcy.

00:04:50.200 Right.

00:04:51.680 Well, maybe.

00:04:52.460 I mean, it might.

00:04:53.880 I mean, it does cut the deficit.

00:04:56.480 I mean, it's supposed to be 300 billion, 300 billion.

00:04:59.160 The new one, it actually is less than that.

00:05:00.360 It's only 150 billion.

00:05:01.540 Right.

00:05:01.940 But so you go from a five, then you go to an eight with Obamacare.

00:05:04.300 Let's say this moves back to a seven.

00:05:06.080 And the conservatives are saying, no, we want a full repeal, which would only move it back to a five.

00:05:10.720 Right.

00:05:10.820 Where is the plan that moves it from a five to a four or three or two?

00:05:16.100 I mean, that's what we used to argue for.

00:05:18.160 Our, our hardcore conservative argument is returning it back to a point where too much government was in that involved anyway, that we, you have control of the house, the Senate and the presidency.

00:05:29.320 Where is the plan that makes it more conservative than it was in 2008?

00:05:33.580 Where's that plan?

00:05:35.260 I mean, it doesn't exist.

00:05:35.980 It doesn't even exist.

00:05:36.820 Because there's no one.

00:05:38.040 Look, because we knew this.

00:05:40.440 We knew this.

00:05:41.320 Um, well, I have a lot to say that I will not say, um, we knew this, we knew this going in that the, there is a progressive gene that is in the Republican party.

00:06:00.200 And when it came to Medicare or, um, uh, medical care, Donald Trump is a progressive.

00:06:08.880 So you have Paul Ryan, who we used to all agree was a progressive that was, was not the guy to come and tell us about Obamacare.

00:06:23.180 Not, no, nobody wanted to hear from Paul Ryan.

00:06:27.160 When was that?

00:06:28.400 Two years ago.

00:06:30.200 The president comes in, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.

00:06:33.680 They're the architects of this.

00:06:37.060 Along with Donald Trump.

00:06:40.300 They're the ones that are going to give us the right kind of health care for conservatives. 0.98

00:06:46.180 No, we were fools to believe it. 0.87

00:06:49.920 Now, the question is, do we send a message? 0.86

00:06:53.740 Because all that's going to happen, the Freedom Caucus is going to stand and the Freedom Caucus will say, no.

00:07:02.220 Then Donald Trump will say, along with the press, it's the Freedom Caucus's fault.

00:07:07.180 It's these constitutionalists' fault.

00:07:10.380 I'm perfect.

00:07:11.180 You know me.

00:07:12.200 I'm perfectly willing to be the outcast.

00:07:14.800 Yep.

00:07:15.480 That was us.

00:07:16.640 I'm uncomfortable in any other position.

00:07:18.200 I am too.

00:07:19.380 Yep.

00:07:20.080 That was us.

00:07:21.340 I refuse to do anything that is unconstitutional.

00:07:25.980 Yep.

00:07:27.100 You want to.

00:07:28.100 You want to make it better.

00:07:30.300 We will make it better.

00:07:32.500 You just want to fool around and try to make the sewer.

00:07:36.520 You're putting air fresheners in the sewer pipes.

00:07:39.860 It's a sewer pipe.

00:07:41.880 I don't care how you try to freshen the smell.

00:07:44.580 It's a sewer pipe.

00:07:47.280 I don't want to be in the sewers.

00:07:49.040 I'm not going to recommend air fresheners.

00:07:50.900 I'm going to say, hey, what do you say we open up the little lid and we climb out of the sewer and walk around in the forest and the clean air?

00:07:59.240 What do you think?

00:08:00.580 Yeah.

00:08:01.000 You want an argument to pass it?

00:08:03.640 Is it worth it?

00:08:04.680 Sure.

00:08:04.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:05.700 So if, let's say they passed the perfect bill in the House.

00:08:09.300 You know, everything went perfectly and you had the perfect bill in the House that got passed.

00:08:13.220 It would go to the Senate and the Senate would not pass that same bill.

00:08:16.980 They would amend it however they wanted and they would pass a Senate version of it that you'd have to come together with afterwards.

00:08:23.700 So if you want this process to continue, there's an argument to say the House, get it passed because you weren't getting that bill anyway.

00:08:34.120 Do you think Mitch McConnell is going to?

00:08:36.220 He's not going to improve it.

00:08:37.200 However, the Senate's going to come up with something and they can pass something as well.

00:08:41.480 Then you can come together and try to find a bill.

00:08:44.760 If I had. 0.99

00:08:45.340 But you'd kill.

00:08:45.980 The argument is you kill the process here if it ends in the House and it's over and you have no chance of repealing Obamacare.

00:08:51.760 I mean, if I had confidence that anyone in the Senate would listen.

00:08:57.060 They're going to make it worse.

00:08:58.160 Oh, yeah, they'll make it worse.

00:08:59.220 So if I had any confidence that the Senate would listen to, you know, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee or any of those guys, Rand Paul, I'd be for that.

00:09:09.740 But get it out of their hands.

00:09:10.960 Get it over to the Senate in the hands of Rand Paul.

00:09:13.160 But don't you have a don't you?

00:09:14.440 Isn't it a good idea to give Rand Paul a shot at it?

00:09:17.080 I mean, he's certainly been pretty good on health care as they've talked about this.

00:09:20.440 This debate.

00:09:21.320 No, I don't think so.

00:09:22.300 So why not give him a chance?

00:09:23.500 It's not going to be listened to.

00:09:24.620 He's not going to be listened to as much as he's being listened to right now.

00:09:28.460 Not at all.

00:09:30.500 But I mean, you the argument is from the Trump administration.

00:09:34.760 You don't pass it in the House now.

00:09:36.820 You don't repeal Obamacare.

00:09:38.440 Now, that's not technically true.

00:09:40.520 However, the way many Republicans in Congress seem to worship the White House.

00:09:45.620 I don't want to own this.

00:09:47.360 I don't want to own this.

00:09:48.280 Yeah, but, you know, you might not want to own it, but it hurts people.

00:09:51.540 Obamacare hurts people.

00:09:52.560 And Ryan care or Trump care will hurt people even more.

00:09:56.220 Well, arguably, I don't know if that's true, honestly.

00:09:58.620 But still, I mean, certainly it would be a savings and spending for the country.

00:10:03.300 Here's how it hurts people even more.

00:10:05.780 Not only hurts people, you're looking at the tax savings, and so maybe some people have tax savings.

00:10:13.140 That's not going to help us in the long run because all they'll do is those evil people,

00:10:19.040 they just wanted to have their tax savings.

00:10:20.980 That hurts the conservative movement because this, whatever it is, will be deemed the conservative health care plan.

00:10:30.720 This is not conservative.

00:10:32.600 This is not free market.

00:10:34.380 This isn't anything we stand for.

00:10:36.680 This is a progressive health care plan.

00:10:40.040 Yeah.

00:10:40.480 I don't want anything to do with it.

00:10:42.620 They could do better, and we deserve better.

00:10:44.840 This is like, you know, we talked about this a couple of days ago.

00:10:47.200 It's like if Obamacare was a turd burger, this is a turd burger cut in half.

00:10:53.420 Okay, well. 0.50

00:10:54.040 You're still eating turds.

00:10:55.180 It's still a turd burger.

00:10:56.360 Yeah.

00:10:56.900 I don't want that.

00:10:58.320 And I do think, too, you want the fastest route to single payer is you pass the Republican plan.

00:11:05.340 Yep.

00:11:05.600 And then if that is a disaster, which it very well might be, then they're going to say the only way to fix this is to make it single payer.

00:11:13.180 Right.

00:11:13.920 So that's another thing to consider here.

00:11:16.000 Yeah, because they will say we've tried the Republican light.

00:11:19.380 We've tried Obama light.

00:11:21.760 We're going full in because this thing is collapsing. 0.99

00:11:24.520 And it's no, no, I refuse to have my name and our credibility on that piece of garbage. 0.97

00:11:34.400 Why they will you will then. 0.98

00:11:41.180 You will then officially own it.

00:11:44.740 I don't want to own this.

00:11:46.860 We as conservatives will own this mess because what people will say is Obamacare would have been better than this.

00:12:00.900 Now the Republicans, they gave us something and look at what they came up with.

00:12:06.780 We need the Democrats to fix it because Obamacare was better than this.

00:12:11.600 And believe me, they will fix it.

00:12:15.700 No.

00:12:17.820 Call your congressman one way or another because I do believe the president will pull out.

00:12:25.700 I do believe Trump will say, fine, we're moving on to something else.

00:12:31.560 And he will target the Freedom Caucus.

00:12:34.580 He will target all those guys.

00:12:36.520 And that probably hurts your tax reform plan, too, because he won't listen to them.

00:12:41.180 And I said, wait a minute.

00:12:42.800 It sounds like.

00:12:44.360 Wow.

00:12:44.920 Sounds like prophecy.

00:12:48.080 First of all, there's no good.

00:12:49.940 There's no good outcome.

00:12:50.920 It doesn't seem from any of this.

00:12:52.660 But the other part of it is, like, doesn't this show how little Donald Trump's administration as a whole cares about Obamacare actually going away?

00:13:02.800 Like, they're like, well, you know what?

00:13:06.080 If you don't want this one thing, I'm done with this week.

00:13:08.580 This week is the end of my attention to this issue.

00:13:11.260 You know why, Stu?

00:13:11.960 Because he is the kind of guy that, I mean, I've heard, when we were hiring for HR, did an interview with a guy who said, I said, number one priority for HR for me is insurance.

00:13:25.880 And he said, I can understand that.

00:13:29.220 And I said, listen, my view on insurance, and I told him what I what I felt.

00:13:35.340 His mouth opened up and he said, wow.

00:13:40.020 And I said, you have a problem with that?

00:13:43.160 And he said, no, no, I've just never heard anyone ever say that.

00:13:47.740 And I said, listen, if my family can't use it, doesn't think it's right, has to go and do other things, I can afford that.

00:13:59.140 My employees can't afford that.

00:14:01.600 If I'm not covered on this insurance, they're not covered on this insurance.

00:14:06.880 There's no two standards here.

00:14:08.580 What's right for my family is right for everybody's family.

00:14:12.020 And he said, I have been in boardrooms recently where all of the CEOs and all of the board of directors are there, and we're all talking about insurance.

00:14:23.240 He said, because that's happening in boardrooms all across America.

00:14:26.020 And he said, this is what they say.

00:14:28.040 Somebody on the board of directors will look and say, don't they have, he said, this is a quote, don't the people have that Obama thing?

00:14:37.340 Can't we just dump them into that?

00:14:39.860 That is, I believe, Donald Trump as a businessman.

00:14:43.600 That's the way he looks at it.

00:14:46.220 There's a lot of people who are in business that say, dump them into Obamacare.

00:14:51.520 I don't care.

00:14:52.300 Get it off my books.

00:14:54.780 I don't think he does care.

00:14:56.360 You have to have an outlook, not as a businessman and not as a politician, but somebody who actually cares about the people and knows the government system never works.

00:15:12.740 Never.

00:15:14.300 And, you know, Trump cares about the win here, right?

00:15:17.000 Yes.

00:15:17.460 Trump cares about the win, saying he kept a promise.

00:15:20.980 And those things are good.

00:15:22.260 I mean, you want that.

00:15:23.080 I tried and it was their fault.

00:15:25.880 Now, this protecting your home has not always been not always been easy, not always been cheap.

00:17:04.460 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:08.120 Mercury.

00:17:11.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:14.260 888-727-BECK.

00:17:17.400 Looking forward to hearing your voice on this.

00:17:20.120 What do you do with Trump care?

00:17:22.920 Yes or no?

00:17:24.260 Do we pass it or not?

00:17:25.220 The president says if you don't pass it, he's not coming back.

00:17:28.220 Let's go to Sam in Oregon.

00:17:30.100 Hello, Sam.

00:17:30.820 Go ahead.

00:17:31.260 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:32.760 Thank you, Glenn. 0.51

00:17:33.540 Yes, I say kill this bill. 0.99

00:17:35.660 It's completely worthless.

00:17:37.560 But my bigger and only influence on politics anymore is the fact that without term limits,

00:17:44.640 Congress is a joke, and they're never going to do anything that's worthwhile.

00:17:49.220 You might as well just quit wasting your time listening to them.

00:17:51.940 I happen to agree with you.

00:17:53.180 I like this point, though, however, because if the result of this is Trump complains about

00:17:57.360 how bad Congress was, this was also a campaign promise that Donald Trump made to push for

00:18:02.360 term limits.

00:18:03.220 It would be an interesting time to pivot and say, you know what?

00:18:06.200 This is what's wrong with it.

00:18:07.220 All these people here, there have been here for whatever the argument is, I don't care.

00:18:11.020 I'm just saying it's a good time to push for it.

00:18:13.200 He could do that.

00:18:14.100 Let's see if he does.

00:18:15.040 It would be great if he did.

00:18:16.300 If he was using this as a way to set up Paul Ryan, and I know this is a little bit of the

00:18:24.080 John Roberts after he rewrote the law to get it by.

00:18:29.580 I don't think it's his intent, but I think he's playing his hand where he is.

00:18:32.680 And if he does something like that, maybe he's...

00:18:34.480 That's good.

00:18:35.300 Maybe.

00:18:35.940 Let's go to Adam in New York.

00:18:37.200 Hello, Adam.

00:18:37.720 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:40.120 Hello.

00:18:40.860 Hi.

00:18:41.380 Go ahead.

00:18:43.200 All right.

00:18:43.780 No, I just wanted to call in and say that I think Trump's completely wrong for saying

00:18:48.040 either pass this version of Obamacare light, or I'm going to move on to something else.

00:18:53.000 He needs to be persistent about keeping a campaign promise that he made.

00:18:57.020 And I'm one of the people that voted for him so that we could repeal Obamacare completely

00:19:02.400 and not get this, you know, Obamacare on a five.

00:19:06.600 So how do you feel, because this is probably one of the bigger things, I mean, you want

00:19:10.600 to talk about a mixed bag.

00:19:12.000 Looks like Gorsuch, and we'll get into this later, is going to be the next Supreme Court,

00:19:16.820 and that's great.

00:19:18.160 At the same time, on the same week, you have this debacle.

00:19:22.020 So how are you feeling about, you feel betrayed, you feel good, how do you feel?

00:19:30.240 I feel pretty betrayed.

00:19:32.860 I mean, yeah, we got Gorsuch in the Supreme Court, which is great.

00:19:36.160 That's great.

00:19:36.840 But past that, really, if he's not going to repeal Obamacare, if he's not going to build

00:19:43.400 the wall, if he's not going to keep any of his other campaign promises, then what is

00:19:47.760 he going to be doing for the next three and a half years?

00:19:50.020 Well, wait, he is taking, he's taking bids on the wall.

00:19:53.240 Do you not believe that that's going to happen?

00:19:56.380 No, I don't think it's going to happen at all.

00:19:58.180 I think it's going to be something that he's going to do pretty much exactly what you're

00:20:03.220 saying about Obamacare.

00:20:04.460 He's going to blame Congress for it not happening.

00:20:07.800 Thank you very much, Adam.

00:20:11.540 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:16.040 Mercury.

00:20:19.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:23.140 While we're here on health care, I want to give you a blast from the past.

00:20:26.580 Who said this quote?

00:20:28.500 In my district right now, there's a lot of misunderstanding about what it is we're doing.

00:20:33.000 And once we get it done, then we can have the chance to really explain it.

00:20:37.240 Who said that?

00:20:38.140 Blast from the past.

00:20:39.140 Nancy Pelosi.

00:20:40.980 Yeah, we're going to stick with Nancy Pelosi.

00:20:43.980 Stick with Nancy Pelosi.

00:20:44.460 Well, it was a blast from the past.

00:20:45.640 It happened last night on MSNBC.

00:20:49.560 Who said it?

00:20:50.700 Republican Chris Collins.

00:20:52.980 Now, of course, Nancy Pelosi said the identical thing, essentially.

00:20:56.780 And we went crazy.

00:20:58.500 And everyone went crazy.

00:21:00.080 Here's Chris Collins.

00:21:01.380 A Republican.

00:21:02.160 A Republican saying the exact same thing.

00:21:04.240 Yeah.

00:21:04.560 You've got to pass it to know what's in it.

00:21:06.800 Let me go to Gail in Michigan.

00:21:10.000 Hello, Gail.

00:21:10.560 How are you?

00:21:11.700 Hi, Glenn.

00:21:12.680 And I just want to let you know I pray for you guys all the time.

00:21:15.500 And God bless you all.

00:21:16.700 Thank you.

00:21:17.060 But I think Rand Paul and all of the Freedom Caucus, all of them out there fighting against

00:21:24.560 this bill, need to stick to their guns because they're just fear-mongering again.

00:21:29.520 And it's just bad.

00:21:33.360 I mean, I know they can do better.

00:21:34.980 I know they can do better than this.

00:21:36.440 They already have done better than this.

00:21:39.800 They passed a bill when they knew the president wasn't going to sign it.

00:21:43.840 In 2015.

00:21:44.500 In 2015.

00:21:45.680 That did everything.

00:21:46.720 All they have to do is just pass that bill in the Senate.

00:21:50.680 But again, that bill is just flat.

00:21:53.540 That was not an improvement on the current system.

00:21:55.680 That just was the current system.

00:21:57.100 They said, bring it back from Obamacare to what it used to be.

00:21:59.560 Where's the thing that makes it better than where it used to be?

00:22:02.380 But that's what they promised.

00:22:04.060 That is.

00:22:04.380 They promised that they would bring it back to where it used to be.

00:22:07.940 That's not what will fix things.

00:22:09.620 That's not what we want.

00:22:11.180 But that's where they promised us.

00:22:13.560 They have that bill.

00:22:14.560 They've already passed that bill.

00:22:16.980 They passed that bill because they knew that it would never pass the Senate and it would never go to the president to sign.

00:22:25.620 And they would just have all of us sheep go, look, look, they're on our side.

00:22:32.760 Gail, thanks.

00:22:33.420 Mike in New York City.

00:22:34.360 Welcome to the program.

00:22:35.140 Honestly, at this point, I don't care anymore.

00:22:40.600 I mean, it doesn't seem like the people in Washington care.

00:22:43.200 So why should I?

00:22:44.720 Oh, my.

00:22:45.900 Nine years of arguing.

00:22:47.160 It's so hard not to feel that way.

00:22:49.500 We just had that whole discussion yesterday at the end of the show.

00:22:52.420 Yesterday at the end of the show.

00:22:53.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:22:54.120 We we fessed up.

00:22:56.220 We don't care.

00:22:58.740 I mean, I care, but I I only care because of work.

00:23:03.600 I really do.

00:23:04.580 I only care because I have to come in here every day and try to make sense of it for the American people.

00:23:12.140 But we know it's not going to make sense.

00:23:13.780 And we've been shown that time.

00:23:15.260 Right.

00:23:15.540 So, I mean, I can't say I don't know what to say anymore.

00:23:19.660 I know, you know, well, what do you think this means?

00:23:22.180 It means they don't care.

00:23:24.240 It means they're in it for them.

00:23:26.320 It means that they don't care about you.

00:23:29.860 In fact, I can I'm convinced most of them don't even like you.

00:23:34.480 And so why do we care?

00:23:37.420 Well, what does this mean?

00:23:38.800 What comes next?

00:23:39.980 I don't know.

00:23:40.680 More bad stuff from people who don't really even like you.

00:23:45.640 I mean, I got nothing else to say anymore.

00:23:48.760 So it's I only care because I know that's part of our job.

00:23:53.500 But I'm with you.

00:23:55.680 I'm with you, Mike.

00:23:56.580 Thanks.

00:23:57.160 Let's go to Casey in Washington.

00:23:58.680 Hello, Casey.

00:24:00.340 Hello.

00:24:01.120 Good morning.

00:24:01.720 Good to talk to you again.

00:24:02.800 Saw you down in Safe Gold Field a couple of years ago.

00:24:05.080 And I'm happy to talk with you.

00:24:06.340 By the way, I'm a grandson of Alexander Milliner.

00:24:11.060 Pretend that people in this show don't know who Alexander Milliner is.

00:24:16.500 It was one of Washington's drummer boys that you have featured on your programs with Mr.

00:24:22.460 Barton.

00:24:23.020 Ah, OK.

00:24:25.560 See, I knew they wouldn't know or remember.

00:24:28.380 But I won't do that.

00:24:29.640 We were all over it, though.

00:24:32.320 Abigail Barton was his wife.

00:24:34.540 So maybe Mr.

00:24:35.600 Barton should look into that.

00:24:36.780 Wow.

00:24:37.060 I'm not for the Affordable Care Act the way that they want to do it right now.

00:24:40.500 I think the Freedom Caucus should go ahead and keep what they're doing.

00:24:43.620 I'm a 65-year-old retired Boeing worker.

00:24:46.640 I'm not on medical.

00:24:48.020 I'm trying to wait for the dust to settle.

00:24:50.200 I appreciate the work that you're doing.

00:24:52.200 My grandfather was coined the father of the concept of group life insurance.

00:24:57.360 And all those people paid homage to him.

00:24:59.840 But today, they're looking more at greed in the insurance companies.

00:25:03.500 But we need to get back to a free market system.

00:25:06.440 Yes.

00:25:07.100 Casey, you don't fit in the Seattle area. 1.00

00:25:09.560 I don't know what you're doing there.

00:25:11.820 I'm from Iowa.

00:25:13.400 You're from Iowa.

00:25:14.600 Yeah, but you've been working at Boeing in Auburn or Seattle?

00:25:18.800 I worked both in Winton and also at Everett putting together 777-667-37.

00:25:25.300 And I was a former radio announcer in Iowa and Omaha.

00:25:28.560 Wow.

00:25:28.920 What street did you live on?

00:25:29.860 Can you give us a little more detail?

00:25:31.700 Casey, thanks, man.

00:25:32.660 I appreciate it.

00:25:33.500 Brian in Ohio.

00:25:34.680 Hello, Brian.

00:25:36.400 Hello, Glenn and the boys.

00:25:38.180 It is so nice to talk to you guys.

00:25:39.760 I'm a long-time listener from Ohio, Marine Corps veteran.

00:25:42.480 I just wanted to call and say we should definitely kill this bill.

00:25:45.620 And another thing that a lot of people are not talking about is that the middle class,

00:25:49.880 they want to talk about all these people that are added to the rolls.

00:25:53.040 Well, they can add these people out of the rolls all they want and say they have insurance.

00:25:56.280 But whether we can afford to use that insurance to help us move our lives is a whole other story.

00:26:03.380 How do you mean?

00:26:05.100 I mean, Glenn, it's gotten so bad over the past seven years that I've worked for my employer.

00:26:10.680 From where our insurance was to where it is now, I could almost barely afford with insurance to go to the doctor

00:26:17.220 and be able to pay my bills to go see a physician.

00:26:22.360 Wow.

00:26:23.160 Brian, thank you.

00:26:25.240 Thanks for your service.

00:26:26.280 I have to tell you, we feel your pain.

00:26:32.940 We feel your pain.

00:26:34.440 And I am watching my company.

00:26:42.420 I, because of Mary's birth, my first child, I was, I don't even know, 21, 22 when she was born.

00:26:50.720 And I was, you know, doing okay, but not okay enough to be able to afford major complications of a child without insurance.

00:27:07.700 And she had strokes at birth and she was in intensive care for about a week.

00:27:13.140 And I remember there was a baby in a, um, in a incubator that was a preemie and it was actually cordoned off.

00:27:25.300 You couldn't go close to it.

00:27:26.680 And they said, um, even a cough close to the incubator, um, could collapse the lungs of this baby.

00:27:35.340 It was so fragile.

00:27:37.340 And I remember this, this couple and they must've been 18 years old.

00:27:42.780 I mean, really young and they were devastated.

00:27:47.920 And I remember walking by, I mean, when y'all have kids in, in, you know, intensive care in the, in the, you know, for newborns, all the parents kind of bond a little bit.

00:27:58.960 Even if you don't talk, you just kind of look at each other.

00:28:01.860 You've gone through this.

00:28:03.580 Um, and, uh, I'll never forget the look of that, that kid who was just a couple of years younger than me at the time.

00:28:10.240 Um, and I remember thinking the doctor said they don't have insurance.

00:28:15.160 And I remember looking at her and she was all about the child and looking at him and he was like me, all about the child and all about good God.

00:28:29.860 What does this mean to our life?

00:28:31.580 And I'll never forget it.

00:28:34.940 And I happened to be working for a company that had unbelievable medical insurance.

00:28:39.780 It was Eden's broadcasting and Gary Eden's was the best.

00:28:43.820 And he made sure that everybody had the best insurance and I never had to worry about anything with Mary.

00:28:52.020 And then when I started going to other places with existing, preexisting conditions and everything else, it really controlled our life.

00:29:00.800 Cobra became a big part of our life for a while.

00:29:03.720 And there's nothing more difficult for a parent than having to worry about medical insurance.

00:29:13.540 So I get it.

00:29:16.060 I get it.

00:29:17.360 And as apparently one of the few employers that actually care, the one thing we have to do is get this insurance out of the hands of the employers.

00:29:28.140 You just, we need to have, we need to have bigger groups of people.

00:29:35.520 You should be able to, you know, join, you know, your churches, medical care, your, your, whatever group you're in the, I don't even know the, the New York Yankees medical care.

00:29:51.000 Why would you even need, you should be able to join any group you want.

00:29:56.260 Yes.

00:29:56.840 You should be able to post on a message board.

00:29:58.840 I would like to create a new group of people who have insurance join now.

00:30:02.780 Correct.

00:30:03.420 The point is that the regulations stop this all the time.

00:30:06.660 These sorts of things, if you had a free market could happen easily.

00:30:08.960 They want to trap us into the, into the, into the medical care from our employers.

00:30:15.340 And those groups, those pools are not big enough for some, especially small businesses like ours.

00:30:21.700 It's just not big enough.

00:30:23.140 And that should stop.

00:30:24.160 And again, this bill doesn't attack that at all.

00:30:25.880 At all.

00:30:26.520 Why doesn't, why don't we have a bill that attacks that issue?

00:30:28.940 Because nobody is, I'm convinced that people go to Washington and they might actually be convinced that they're trying to do it for the American people.

00:30:39.260 That they actually care about the American people.

00:30:41.860 And I think a lot of them do when they first start.

00:30:43.660 And then they get so far removed from the American people and so far removed and they get into this esoteric, you know, free market stuff or, or political stuff that they lose track on why it is.

00:30:59.220 Because they believe in the free market in the free market in the free market in the free market in the first place.

00:31:03.240 And they just get lost.

00:31:05.200 And listening to voices in Ohio saying that you could hear the pain in his voice.

00:31:12.320 Could you not?

00:31:13.700 Yeah.

00:31:13.960 How can Donald Trump say to that man, you pass this?

00:31:23.380 He's saying, please don't.

00:31:24.780 I can't afford it now.

00:31:25.900 How can you listen to the voice of somebody who may have voted for you and say, you take this or I'm giving you nothing.

00:31:37.060 That's not a group of people that actually care about you.

00:31:42.920 And what they're trying to do is kind of the worst of both worlds here.

00:31:46.540 Because you could say, okay, we're going to keep it the way it is.

00:31:50.240 And that's terrible.

00:31:51.320 But at least it's not a change for people and it makes it easy for politically.

00:31:54.640 I mean, so if he does nothing, he can blame Democrats, he can blame Republicans, but it's never his fault.

00:32:00.380 You know, you go back to it.

00:32:01.080 And I'm not looking for somebody.

00:32:02.860 I hate, well, I don't want it to be my fault.

00:32:05.900 I hate that.

00:32:07.200 But I'm only willing to take that if you're going to try to do something bold.

00:32:13.060 This isn't bold.

00:32:14.200 That's my point.

00:32:15.120 It's like even going back to 2008 is not bold.

00:32:17.720 I mean, you know, we know what they said in 2000.

00:32:19.500 Jonathan Gruber wrote a report for MIT where he wrote, hey,

00:32:23.240 if there's no Obamacare, there will be 54 million people uninsured by 2019, I think was his estimate.

00:32:31.460 Now, these estimates have all been wrong.

00:32:34.040 However, that's what they're saying is going to happen with GOP care by 2024.

00:32:41.720 So you here are what?

00:32:44.940 Delaying this number by a couple of years for multiple trillions of dollars over the long run.

00:32:51.940 And you don't solve any of the problems.

00:32:54.100 If you're going to go and change what you have, why not change it to something good instead of something slightly less bad potentially?

00:33:00.720 So let me let me tell you a story.

00:33:05.860 Yesterday, I had a meeting with all of the top executives.

00:33:09.800 They flew into town from Mercury Real Estate, this sponsor, but it ties into this.

00:33:16.560 Mercury Real Estate is a company that I started with my brother about three years ago.

00:33:21.580 We announced it about a year and a half ago.

00:33:23.760 So we started it and we we had 100 real estate agents and we were looking for real estate agents that first were fans of the show, not casual listeners, fans of the show.

00:33:37.360 Um, because I know one thing, our fans trust each other and they like each other.

00:33:43.360 And it's because the real fans of the show have just a set of principles that they live by or try to.

00:33:50.900 Well, the results were fantastic.

00:33:52.760 And so we announced Mercury Real Estate, real estate agents, I trust dot com where we line you up.

00:33:59.740 So yesterday I go into this meeting and I sit with them and I said, tell me what the people are saying.

00:34:08.060 Tell me what you're hearing about that.

00:34:10.720 I didn't care about the numbers.

00:34:12.640 I didn't care about, you know, the business stuff.

00:34:16.360 I wanted to know what people were saying.

00:34:19.060 And one of the guys sitting at the table said, Glenn, let me tell you about our real one of the real estate agents who I won't name, but is in Washington state.

00:34:27.560 Um, uh, this woman got a listing, um, and she was working with the wife and she, she went over to the house. 0.99

00:34:37.260 And she said, okay, you got to paint, you got to clean up your yard.

00:34:40.440 You got to do this.

00:34:41.100 You got to do that.

00:34:41.660 And it was a poorish family. 1.00

00:34:44.240 And she said, you know what?

00:34:45.540 I'll come over.

00:34:46.400 I'll help you.

00:34:47.200 So she went over on her weekends and she helped, you know, put plant new plants in the flower bed for curb appeal.

00:34:54.480 She helped this woman paint her whole house on the inside. 0.84

00:34:59.620 Her husband, it comes down to sign the contract.

00:35:01.880 She did this all before signing the contract.

00:35:04.220 Um, when her husband finds out that it's real estate agents, I trust.com and her wife said, or the real estate agents is Glenn Beck's company.

00:35:11.860 Her husband hates my guts and said, absolutely not.

00:35:18.220 Absolutely not.

00:35:20.500 She didn't get the deal.

00:35:22.040 She didn't get the contract.

00:35:24.200 Here's the part of the story.

00:35:26.680 She, I said, how is she?

00:35:27.840 And she said, she's currently helping some other person paint their house. 0.98

00:35:32.300 She hasn't changed doing the right thing.

00:35:35.720 Even if you lose, doing the right thing will pay off.

00:35:41.480 I think this real estate agent is going to be a superstar.

00:35:45.320 From the woman whose husband said no, I think that woman is going to say to everybody she knows, boy, this woman actually cares.

00:35:53.340 You want to sell your house on time for the most money with people you can trust?

00:35:58.000 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:36:00.060 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:36:02.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:09.300 Mercury.

00:36:13.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:15.620 I don't know who's been banging down the door for a Chips movie.

00:36:20.080 Everyone.

00:36:21.080 But that is coming out.

00:36:22.360 Only everybody.

00:36:23.040 When is that Chips movie coming out?

00:36:25.400 Right after Emergency and Squad 51.

00:36:28.140 Eee! 0.98

00:36:28.740 Eee! 0.98

00:36:29.000 Eee! 0.98

00:36:30.980 Oh, yi-yi. 0.97

00:36:32.320 Chips.

00:36:32.760 One out of twelve.

00:36:33.600 One out of twelve.

00:36:34.340 Two eleven in progress.

00:36:35.480 Who was watching Chips?

00:36:36.900 Was that, was Chips just for your sexually frustrated mom to watch? 0.77

00:36:42.980 I mean, seriously. 0.88

00:36:44.380 It does seem like.

00:36:45.000 It does seem like that.

00:36:46.060 Because it wasn't a good cop show.

00:36:47.820 No.

00:36:48.120 It wasn't a good drama.

00:36:49.360 It wasn't a good comedy.

00:36:50.840 No.

00:36:51.280 It was just two guys that your mom would have thought were hot in uniforms.

00:36:56.460 That was great.

00:36:57.660 Uh, 28% on Rotten Tomatoes for Chips.

00:37:00.320 Oh, wow.

00:37:00.780 That's a shock.

00:37:01.740 I'm surprised.

00:37:02.400 But life starts today.

00:37:04.040 That space thriller with the movie by life.

00:37:06.100 That looks tremendous.

00:37:06.800 That looks really good.

00:37:08.600 Yeah.

00:37:09.060 Back in a minute.

00:37:09.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:15.760 Mercury.

00:37:16.440 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:37:35.360 Last hour, we just opened up the phones and we talked to you.

00:37:38.900 Was there a single person that said, no, no, no, let's go with the Ryan Trump plan?

00:37:45.080 No.

00:37:45.640 No.

00:37:45.940 No.

00:37:46.080 Yesterday, there was one.

00:37:47.140 Yeah.

00:37:47.320 Yesterday, there was one.

00:37:49.220 And yesterday, I think there were more people that agreed with us that I don't care anymore.

00:37:53.240 I just don't care anymore.

00:37:55.040 Because they're just going to do whatever they want to do.

00:37:57.900 And even if they do something good, they'll end up screwing it up later.

00:38:01.760 For instance, in my opinion, not passing this is good.

00:38:07.160 Because it gives you a chance to go back and say, okay, let's really do it right.

00:38:13.800 But instead, what they'll do is they will blame it on the conservatives, the Freedom Caucus.

00:38:20.780 And then they'll come back most likely and do something far worse than this.

00:38:25.480 So that just makes me say, I don't really care.

00:38:27.820 Whatever.

00:38:28.340 You guys are going to screw it up anyway.

00:38:30.560 Whatever.

00:38:32.260 Now let's switch.

00:38:33.620 That was healthcare.

00:38:34.580 Let's switch to Gorsuch.

00:38:36.900 Did you hear Chuck Schumer yesterday?

00:38:41.640 You want to talk about a guy who is out on planet 10.

00:38:46.200 It's Chuck Schumer.

00:38:48.620 We begin there right now.

00:38:50.600 I will make a stand.

00:38:54.280 I will raise my voice.

00:38:56.620 I will hold your hand.

00:38:58.840 Because we are one.

00:39:00.820 I will beat my drum.

00:39:03.080 I have made my choice.

00:39:05.340 We will overcome.

00:39:07.640 Because we are one.

00:39:09.680 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:39:12.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:19.060 Chuck Schumer.

00:39:21.100 He's got Gorsuch down.

00:39:23.920 I think he dealt him a death blow yesterday.

00:39:27.400 A death blow.

00:39:28.160 He dealt him a death blow.

00:39:29.100 He said they're going to filibuster.

00:39:30.880 Yeah.

00:39:31.360 Because Gorsuch is an extremist.

00:39:33.720 And if anybody in America watched Gorsuch at all.

00:39:37.320 You know he's out of control.

00:39:38.720 He's out of control.

00:39:40.540 Listen to the case made by Chuck Schumer yesterday.

00:39:43.700 This morning I'd like to lay out the reasons why I'll be voting no on this nomination.

00:39:48.000 Please.

00:39:48.620 Not first.

00:39:49.540 All right.

00:39:50.380 Judge Gorsuch was unable to sufficiently convince me that he'd be an independent check on a president

00:39:56.120 who has shown almost no restraint.

00:39:59.080 Holy cow. 0.89

00:39:59.860 From executive overreach.

00:40:01.480 Unlike Barack Obama.

00:40:03.020 Oh my gosh.

00:40:04.340 Never overreached.

00:40:05.660 And you know you don't want people with ideologies on the bench.

00:40:10.620 You know.

00:40:11.560 Like Sotomayor.

00:40:12.700 Or Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 0.99

00:40:14.880 You do not want those people on the bench.

00:40:17.620 Oh my goodness.

00:40:18.340 You don't want that.

00:40:19.780 Second.

00:40:20.940 He was unable to convince me that he would be a mainstream justice who could rule free from the biases of politics and ideology.

00:40:29.540 It's amazing.

00:40:30.500 Are you for real?

00:40:31.800 Are you kidding me?

00:40:32.900 To the American people, this is so offensive. 1.00

00:40:35.640 It's so obviously untrue and it's just a bunch of crap. 0.99

00:40:38.800 But inside Washington's circles, this is what you get praised for. 0.98

00:40:41.920 If you're willing to go out and blatantly lie to help your team, that is, you get a gold star.

00:40:49.500 That's the highest honor.

00:40:50.260 And he's ignoring the fact that he's got four justices that vote in lockstep with everything he believes every time without exception.

00:41:01.000 Four of them vote exactly the same way, left, leftist, extreme left, every single time.

00:41:09.900 So who's he trying to kid here?

00:41:11.420 Everybody knows it.

00:41:13.040 Everybody knows it.

00:41:13.980 His career and judicial record suggests not a neutral legal mind, but someone with a deep-seated conservative ideology.

00:41:22.280 None of them are neutral.

00:41:22.960 He was groomed by the Federalist Society.

00:41:25.280 Stop.

00:41:25.640 Stop.

00:41:26.240 Oh my gosh.

00:41:28.060 Oh my gosh.

00:41:28.820 Could you tell me about what a Federalist is?

00:41:31.040 Wow.

00:41:31.880 Pat, what is a Federalist? 0.99

00:41:33.000 Oh, well, like, it's a person who is akin to Satan. 0.79

00:41:38.660 No, no, no.

00:41:40.060 Yes.

00:41:41.080 No.

00:41:41.480 Yes, it is.

00:41:42.960 Well, yes, but.

00:41:44.040 Yes.

00:41:44.820 Yes, but that's a Satan that believes that the states are supreme and the individual is supreme and the federal government has limited power.

00:41:56.120 Just like Satan.

00:41:57.220 Just like Satan.

00:41:58.780 It's almost the opposite of Satan, but the Federalists believe that the individual has power, and Satan believes, give me all the glory and I'll force everybody to do the right thing.

00:42:11.180 This is a man who once had a library card.

00:42:16.260 Oh my gosh.

00:42:18.240 Whoa.

00:42:18.880 He didn't mention the one time he went to a Bruce Lodge.

00:42:23.900 He was groomed by the Elks Club.

00:42:26.760 Yes.

00:42:27.260 He was groomed by the Elks Club.

00:42:29.200 And you know, you know how, well, they're satanic rituals, as we all know.

00:42:33.700 Oh, no, the Elks Club?

00:42:34.260 Performed in the basement of the Elks Lodges all over America right now.

00:42:37.920 Yeah.

00:42:38.180 My dad and mom were in Elks Club.

00:42:39.760 I was glad to get away from them.

00:42:41.480 Are you okay?

00:42:41.920 Because I thought I could have been an elk.

00:42:43.280 Yeah, I could have been an elk today.

00:42:44.620 Wow.

00:42:45.100 If I hadn't have gotten away from them, I would have been holding up signs.

00:42:47.680 You still made all some deep-seated elk kids. 1.00

00:42:49.880 Of saying, yeah.

00:42:51.340 No, I have elk.

00:42:52.660 You have elkiness.

00:42:53.680 You do have elkiness right now.

00:42:55.540 You do.

00:42:55.840 I am attracted to club nights.

00:42:59.140 I've always suspected that.

00:43:00.420 You know what I mean?

00:43:01.020 Yeah.

00:43:01.400 You know, where you go and you sit and you play cards.

00:43:04.740 And stuff like that.

00:43:07.660 He's a member of the Federalist Society?

00:43:10.240 No, no, no.

00:43:10.980 He said he was groomed.

00:43:12.540 There's more.

00:43:13.040 Oh, that's right.

00:43:13.460 There's more.

00:43:14.220 You were groomed by the Federalist Society.

00:43:16.540 He has not shown one inch of difference between his views and theirs.

00:43:22.800 Oh, my God.

00:43:23.500 And finally, he is someone who almost instinctively, powerful over the week, corporations over working

00:43:32.160 Americans.

00:43:32.680 There could not be a worse time for someone with those instincts.

00:43:38.060 Oh, my God.

00:43:39.120 Oh, no.

00:43:40.020 He laid it out.

00:43:40.940 Isn't his record with corporations over people like 49% to 51%, something like that?

00:43:48.380 I mean, it's, yeah.

00:43:49.920 Yeah, it's, and he takes it on a case-by-case basis.

00:43:53.700 And what kind of judge is supposed to say, well, you know, last time I did rule in favor

00:43:58.840 of the corporation.

00:44:01.540 I should rule in favor of the person this time.

00:44:04.800 Oh, the answer to your question, John Roberts is the answer to that question.

00:44:08.560 Yes.

00:44:09.200 John Roberts.

00:44:10.300 Who is John Roberts?

00:44:11.000 Yes.

00:44:11.420 Who is John Roberts?

00:44:12.240 But, I mean, that's not the way you do it.

00:44:13.580 You're supposed to, you know, there's not supposed to be an inch of difference between

00:44:16.740 the Constitution and the judge, the justice.

00:44:20.080 There's not supposed to be an inch of difference.

00:44:22.140 He should rule that way every time.

00:44:24.820 Every single time.

00:44:25.580 Have you been groomed by the Federalist Society?

00:44:27.860 Yes.

00:44:28.320 I hope I have been.

00:44:30.020 By the way, as far as ideological bent, the New York Times did a chart of left-to-right

00:44:36.980 justices and where Gorsuch would be.

00:44:39.680 And he would be the second most conservative justice, as they tell the story, except for

00:44:45.800 Clarence Thomas.

00:44:47.060 However, who is the most liberal judge?

00:44:50.160 You, Justice, you brought up Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

00:44:52.400 She's second.

00:44:53.480 Number one most liberal justice, Sonia Sotomayor.

00:44:57.480 Yeah.

00:44:58.060 More liberal than Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

00:45:00.740 You think Chucky voted for Sotomayor?

00:45:03.540 Better believe it.

00:45:04.320 Wow.

00:45:04.760 Oh, yeah.

00:45:05.600 She's going to be around a while, too.

00:45:07.420 I mean, it's just ludicrous to think that they're neutral on every political issue.

00:45:12.220 Now, they're not supposed to rule politically, but they do, and we know it.

00:45:17.800 And that's why a Republican president looks for a guy like this, and a Democrat looks for

00:45:23.920 a person like Ginsburg or Sotomayor.

00:45:26.380 Wait.

00:45:27.160 If you had a judge that would, that was up there, that was guaranteed to go with the Republican,

00:45:35.300 guaranteed to go with the Republican president every single time, would you vote for him?

00:45:43.360 No.

00:45:43.960 No.

00:45:44.380 Neither would I.

00:45:44.860 I don't want a justice that goes to the Republican president.

00:45:46.900 I don't want it when it goes to the Constitution.

00:45:47.760 Right.

00:45:48.080 So there's a difference between what they have is they have somebody that will rule on politics

00:45:54.960 or ideology.

00:45:56.460 Every time.

00:45:57.040 Every time.

00:45:58.260 What we are asking for is someone that is rooted in the Constitution.

00:46:04.420 When you're rooted in the Constitution, left and right doesn't matter.

00:46:09.120 Republican, Democrat, doesn't matter.

00:46:10.940 It's just what does the Constitution say about this?

00:46:16.180 That is the most fair you can be.

00:46:21.100 What Chucky wants is Chuck wants somebody who will deal not in justice, but social justice.

00:46:29.560 That is not the role of the Supreme Court.

00:46:33.560 That's not in the Constitution.

00:46:35.220 I do not want someone who will rule with the Republicans every time, or 80% of the time,

00:46:44.460 or 20% of the time, guaranteed.

00:46:47.400 No.

00:46:48.520 I want somebody to rule with the Constitution 100% of the time, because the parties will

00:46:55.060 always flip, as we are noticing.

00:46:57.440 And I will say this standard only applies to the right. 0.83

00:46:59.600 Neil Gorsuch is up there, and they're testifying about Roe versus Wade and abortion.

00:47:04.000 Of course, they're asking him all these questions about it.

00:47:05.960 He said if Trump asked him about Roe versus Wade and how he would vote on it, he said he

00:47:10.160 would have walked out of the room.

00:47:12.240 And they asked him, well, what about, you know, is it settled, is it the law of the land?

00:47:19.480 Is it settled, you know, case law?

00:47:21.520 And he said it has been ruled on many times, and it is the law of the land.

00:47:24.140 Now, that makes me nervous, though his other rulings point to the fact that he will be

00:47:31.160 on the right side of Roe versus Wade.

00:47:32.860 Man, he better be.

00:47:33.700 Well, wait, wait.

00:47:34.920 To say it is the law of the land.

00:47:37.620 Right.

00:47:38.040 So nothing he said disqualifies him from that.

00:47:39.740 So is Jim Crow laws. 0.72

00:47:40.820 My point is, though, if you ask Sonia Sotomayor, hey, you for Roe versus Wade?

00:47:45.860 Oh, absolutely.

00:47:46.780 We don't do that.

00:47:47.820 I know.

00:47:48.400 I know.

00:47:48.700 We don't do that.

00:47:49.320 And it's burned us many times, by the way.

00:47:51.280 Yeah.

00:47:51.760 However, that is, again, you want someone who is going to actually look at the Constitution

00:47:56.200 and read what's in it.

00:48:56.180 Glenn Beck Program.

00:48:57.620 888-727-BECK.

00:49:00.220 Mercury.

00:49:04.380 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:49:06.920 Kelly Shackleford, who is an attorney for the Liberty Institute fighting for religious freedom and really one of the guys on the front lines and has developed Trump nominee dot com just so people can pay attention.

00:49:20.220 See everything about Gorsuch, watch the hearings and read all the important facts that you might need to know to make a decision.

00:49:29.700 Kelly Shackleford, welcome to the program.

00:49:31.820 How are you?

00:49:32.120 Good, Glenn.

00:49:33.520 Thanks for having me.

00:49:34.480 This has been a really quite uninteresting hearing week.

00:49:40.400 I mean, it's been good.

00:49:42.240 He's rock solid, unflappable.

00:49:45.600 But there have been no fireworks until we find out yesterday from Chuck Schumer that he was groomed by the Federalist Society and and hasn't shown shocking and he hasn't shown any daylight between them.

00:50:03.300 And he's an extremist.

00:50:05.040 And am I hearing Schumer right that he's saying that the Democrats are going to filibuster?

00:50:11.240 I mean, that's what everybody is reporting.

00:50:13.100 I mean, that's what he said, but I just I have a hard time believing that we'll see. 0.97

00:50:19.120 It would be an incredibly foolish move. 0.75

00:50:22.600 You've got Gorsuch here, as you said, they couldn't land a punch on at all. 0.91

00:50:27.720 And they've got to make him extreme.

00:50:30.320 I mean, to filibuster, you know, they tried to filibuster Alito.

00:50:33.840 They got 25 votes and Alito had statements against Roe v.

00:50:37.460 Wade in public and a long history.

00:50:40.560 They have nothing really on Gorsuch.

00:50:43.120 He's about three, almost 3000 opinions, 2700 or so that he was a part of.

00:50:48.940 And this is the thing when this is so funny when you look at this.

00:50:51.720 Ninety seven percent of his opinions were unanimous.

00:50:55.400 Ninety nine percent.

00:50:56.700 He was in the majority.

00:50:57.480 So it's hard to make him into something crazy.

00:51:00.160 And yet that's where they would want to fight and die over the filibuster, because if they if they do, then I think the odds are great that even the moderate Republicans will feel comfortable saying, OK, Harry Reid took out the filibuster.

00:51:14.740 On the lower court judges, we're going to take them out on the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:51:18.320 There's no reason to have this filibuster anymore.

00:51:20.180 Is there any reason is there anything that gives you any doubt that Gorsuch gets in and he's he's John Roberts?

00:51:33.160 He, you know, when it comes down to it, he screws us in the end.

00:51:37.140 Yes. Well, you just never know with anybody because they can be the right person, have the right opinions, have the right philosophy.

00:51:46.460 But then when it comes, push comes to shove, do they have courage?

00:51:50.960 Do they have courage to do the right thing when the pressure's on?

00:51:54.160 And that's tremendous pressure, like if we're talking about, you know, overturning Roe v.

00:51:59.440 Wade or or something like that, if you get the numbers where that's the case and that's the vote, obviously, with his whole life work of originalism and his opinions and everything, he gets an opinion and he says this isn't in the Constitution.

00:52:15.540 That's what he's going to say absent, you know, doing something like you say, like a John Roberts.

00:52:20.560 It's I know a couple of people were or I say a couple of there are people that were concerned about what he said on the last day, which was that the Obergefell opinion, the same sex marriage opinion was settled law.

00:52:34.120 And a lot of people said, whoa, what does that mean?

00:52:36.040 He admitted it's settled law.

00:52:37.880 And I just didn't take that as something huge.

00:52:41.240 He's a court of appeals judge.

00:52:42.660 For him, it was settled law.

00:52:44.180 I mean, he had to follow it because it was a higher court.

00:52:46.740 But that doesn't mean that, you know, everything that's already decided on and settled law now that that when he got a new case with facts and allowed him to analyze it with a proper judicial approach, that he wouldn't have a different opinion.

00:53:00.540 So we won't know until we see he's got the philosophy, the approach of a Scalia of, you know, the conservatives on the court.

00:53:08.840 But I do think the first part of your question, Glenn, I do think he's going to be on the court there.

00:53:14.580 I think they're having to vote on April 3rd and then we'll go.

00:53:18.480 I think that the idea is for them to get that out of committee and then to have the vote on the floor of the Senate and to be done by the recess on April 7th.

00:53:25.740 So I think it's highly likely by April 7th, it's going to he's going to be Justice Gorsuch.

00:53:31.620 We'll we'll see.

00:53:32.800 But that that looks like the schedule.

00:53:34.980 And the only question is what you're asking about.

00:53:37.420 Are they going to filibuster?

00:53:38.980 And if they do, I think all they're doing is ending the filibuster, which politically would not be smart because the next battle is probably going to be even more ferocious because it's really about the control of the court.

00:53:51.200 And that's the one where that's one where a lot of people will really care.

00:53:56.400 That's the one where they'll be able to ratchet it up because you're going to lose a liberal on the court.

00:54:01.880 And so all of the TV spots and everything else.

00:54:06.080 And if if they get rid of the filibuster, then it will look very unfair and everything else.

00:54:13.100 If they filibuster now and the Republicans are like, fine, we're just you you nuked us before we nuke you.

00:54:20.940 We don't need this anymore.

00:54:22.180 We're just moving forward.

00:54:24.220 Nobody will really care at this point, but they'll have a chance to that being real fire against the Republicans the next time.

00:54:34.300 I agree.

00:54:35.460 That's why it really doesn't make any sense to me. 0.74

00:54:37.720 I mean, the only the only rationale for this is that the base is so extreme and that people like Schumer feel like they they have to placate their base, that they're doing things that are even incredibly politically foolish.

00:54:52.000 But I'm sure the Republicans assume now, you know, we're assuming something.

00:54:56.300 We're assuming that 52 at least 50 Republicans will hold strong and say, well, this is so outrageous that, of course, we're going to end this filibuster.

00:55:04.760 And Harry Reid ended it on all these other things anyway.

00:55:09.240 We're assuming that will happen.

00:55:10.920 Sometimes we get surprised by the Republicans and what they do.

00:55:14.060 So we'll have to wait and see.

00:55:16.480 Tell me what the Federalist Society is or what you know about it.

00:55:20.400 The Federalist Society is sort of a debating society.

00:55:23.880 It's considered conservative.

00:55:25.280 But really what they do is they hold meetings all over the country with lawyers, really the top lawyers, the top judges around the country.

00:55:35.260 And they bring them in.

00:55:36.960 And there's always two sides.

00:55:38.760 They always have two of the top intellectuals or four of the top intellectuals debating whatever very mundane but particular constitutional or statutory or legal issue.

00:55:51.740 And so it's somewhat of a meeting where people gather.

00:55:55.300 They hear intellectual discourse from two opposite sides.

00:55:58.580 And, you know, it's considered the more conservative one because they're actually fair.

00:56:04.700 There's a liberal one that doesn't do the same thing, but it's considered the conservative one.

00:56:09.140 And because of that, I think usually at their national meetings, they have one big national meeting amongst local meetings around the country.

00:56:16.780 Usually four or five of the Supreme Court justices, usually the more conservative ones, will show up and speak at those as well.

00:56:22.180 Right, okay, but they meet in secret and they're all wearing cowls, right?

00:56:26.800 No, it's all public.

00:56:28.540 People can come.

00:56:30.400 They allow membership.

00:56:32.680 You know, they don't ask you what your beliefs are.

00:56:34.820 It's nothing like that.

00:56:35.860 It's really, you know, a group that values, you know, things like what is the law, what is the Constitution say.

00:56:43.800 And they, again, they're very fair in that they always have an equal number of people on each side in these debates because they want to learn.

00:56:51.460 They don't understand what the thoughts are, what the arguments are.

00:56:54.400 But as a result of actually trying to hew to what the law is, they're seen as more conservative.

00:56:59.660 Do you think, Kelly, that, how do you think Neil Gorsuch would rule on the idea of Glenn Beck having Coca-Cola and M&Ms for breakfast today?

00:57:08.340 Would he approve of that?

00:57:10.100 I don't know what this has anything to do with.

00:57:11.860 We were talking about a group of people who take a little boat and fill it with golden babies, send it across the pond, and offer it to the owl god.

00:57:20.260 I don't know how you got exactly there.

00:57:23.600 I don't know how you got to the others.

00:57:25.400 What others think of that choice.

00:57:27.220 Kelly, God bless.

00:57:29.040 Thank you so much.

00:57:29.620 Kelly Shackelford.

00:57:30.500 Go to trumpnominee.com.

00:57:33.160 Trumpnominee.com.

00:57:34.860 Back in a minute with the final chapter in our War on Women.

00:57:39.580 We are one.

00:57:44.380 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:47.040 Look your head.

00:57:50.260 Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that, yes, the future is female.

00:58:03.600 Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organized a march that galvanized millions of people all over our country and across the world.

00:58:13.900 So, which is it?

00:58:16.440 Is there a war on women? 1.00

00:58:18.520 Or is the future female? 1.00

00:58:21.580 And what exactly does the future is female mean? 1.00

00:58:26.240 Hillary Clinton and others have expended a lot of time and energy selling the war on women. 1.00

00:58:32.080 So, this new phrase would seem a little out of step with that effort.

00:58:37.000 But it's important to note that this new phrase and effort comes complete with another attempt to pass the ERA, the Equal Rights Amendment.

00:58:45.200 The initial effort to get the ERA added to the U.S. Constitution never happened.

00:58:50.740 But there are many that say it wasn't necessary in the first place.

00:58:54.920 If the Equal Rights Amendment passes, we'd have no choice. 0.71

00:58:58.220 Under the draft, women would be drafted and forced into combat. 1.00

00:59:01.720 And the president is staunchly against it.

00:59:05.560 The club begins a new era.

00:59:08.260 That's era, not ERA.

00:59:12.060 ERA supporters have a tough time keeping the debate focused on what they see as ERA's main goal.

00:59:18.580 Economic equality for women who, in 1982, earned 59 cents to every man's dollar.

00:59:25.480 As a registered nurse, Carol makes less than men who fix cars, drive buses, or trim trees.

00:59:32.080 That's why Carol wants the Equal Rights Amendment ratified. 1.00

00:59:35.740 There were several factors that wound up dooming the movement.

00:59:39.160 First of all, there were already laws on the books that guaranteed women equal rights.

00:59:43.840 In certain circumstances, such as when marriages break up,

00:59:48.460 a case could be made that women's rights were and are superior to men's.

00:59:54.140 Yet the perception of many is that there is an ongoing war on women, and women are faring poorly in it. 0.54

01:00:01.080 What I would say to people who think that women already have equality in our country 1.00

01:00:04.720 is to really open their eyes, to look at the issues of pay equality,

01:00:08.780 violence against women, pregnancy discrimination.

01:00:12.000 By all means, please, let's truly open our eyes and look at each of those issues.

01:00:17.940 The never-ending claim of those who are supposedly fighting for women's rights 0.95

01:00:22.700 is that women make anywhere from 78 to 87 cents for every dollar a man makes. 1.00

01:00:29.220 In fact, the 1982 news report claimed it was just 59 cents on every dollar.

01:00:34.800 If we indeed are going to open our eyes to this issue,

01:00:39.500 then we will find that even the liberal Washington Post has debunked this faulty claim

01:00:45.100 every year since 2012, calling it false.

01:00:49.940 Study after study has found that when comparing similar experience, education, skill level,

01:00:56.640 and commitment to job length of women and men,

01:00:59.700 there is virtually no gender disparity in pay.

01:01:04.000 None.

01:01:05.000 In fact, in 147 America's largest 150 cities,

01:01:09.400 young women make 8% more than men.

01:01:13.800 All right, what about violence against women?

01:01:16.300 Huge increase of rape in America.

01:01:18.880 We're told now that things have gotten so bad

01:01:21.400 that one out of every five women will be raped on an American college campus. 0.94

01:01:26.540 If accurate, that would be a higher percentage of rape 1.00

01:01:30.760 than what occurred during the Rwandan genocide.

01:01:35.060 The good news is, it's not accurate.

01:01:38.220 It's an outrageous falsehood.

01:01:41.160 Sexual assaults in the United States have actually plummeted since the mid-1990s,

01:01:46.240 falling by nearly 60%.

01:01:48.880 Domestic violence is down 63%,

01:01:52.140 and partner violence has dropped by a whopping 72%.

01:01:56.240 As for pregnancy discrimination,

01:01:59.360 I'm not even sure what that is, quite frankly.

01:02:03.340 In general, reproductive rights and pregnancy discrimination

01:02:06.480 are nothing more than euphemisms for abortion on demand.

01:02:09.980 It was about these reproductive rights 0.92

01:02:13.800 that a law student, Sandra Fluke, testified just a few years ago.

01:02:18.860 Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know,

01:02:21.880 can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. 1.00

01:02:24.920 $3,000?

01:02:28.060 Condoms are like 20 cents a piece.

01:02:31.040 That is, I mean, if you want to do the math,

01:02:34.080 about 15,000 sexual encounters.

01:02:37.420 Law school generally takes three years to complete.

01:02:40.480 To pull off 5,000 encounters a year,

01:02:43.540 a woman would have to average almost 14 sexual encounters every day. 0.98

01:02:49.380 So let's say 15 on a good day and maybe just 13 on a slow hookup day.

01:02:55.000 Even on the days where you can't fulfill your normal allotment of hookups on Tinder,

01:03:01.500 that doesn't leave you a lot of time to study case law.

01:03:05.900 Now, for those who like to scream about the war on women,

01:03:09.700 nothing gets them more angry than standing in the way of a woman's right to choose, 0.99

01:03:14.380 to abort her baby. 0.95

01:03:16.180 The fact is, nothing fits the description of war on women 0.99

01:03:20.980 better than the actual killing of female babies. 0.94

01:03:24.920 If pro-life advocates had their way,

01:03:27.980 there would be 52 million more people on Earth today than there are.

01:03:32.460 Slightly over half of these would be women, 1.00

01:03:35.940 living, breathing, life-experiencing women. 0.69

01:03:39.640 Take a moment and hear them roar.

01:03:46.900 If pregnancy discrimination is really about benefits available for female employees,

01:03:52.400 current U.S. law dictates that a parent, nearly always the mother,

01:03:57.200 can take 12 weeks of leave from her job.

01:04:01.020 Some employers offer paid leave.

01:04:03.020 For others, it's unpaid.

01:04:04.600 But almost exclusively, it is women that take advantage of this benefit. 1.00

01:04:08.760 Still, it's often claimed that the U.S. has the worst pregnancy benefit 1.00

01:04:13.400 of any industrialized country on Earth.

01:04:16.440 However, in a nation built on liberty and personal responsibility,

01:04:21.260 it's ludicrous to believe that the government would or should force employers

01:04:26.640 to pay women who leave their jobs for three months regardless of the reason.

01:04:32.140 It's even more foolhardy to expect that in a nation built on liberty

01:04:36.060 that the government would or should impose maternity leave taxes on others,

01:04:41.540 on the childless, on the single adults, on the elderly,

01:04:44.980 on anyone other than those who have chosen to start their family

01:04:48.940 to provide the benefits to the mothers leaving their jobs. 0.86

01:04:52.460 In the 1950s, only 19% of mothers with young children worked outside of the home.

01:05:00.140 81% of mothers stayed at home with their kids.

01:05:03.940 The 1960s brought about a sexual and social revolution to the United States

01:05:08.980 and to the American family.

01:05:10.840 Discontented women like Betty Friedan began telling moms 0.98

01:05:15.340 that they couldn't be fulfilled by raising a family,

01:05:17.980 that in fact, something was wrong with them if that's all they did.

01:05:23.460 Women, stay-at-home moms, suddenly under siege for not wanting to be more. 1.00

01:05:30.460 They could have it all, but not by raising their family.

01:05:33.920 They had to leave their family and enter the corporate world.

01:05:37.380 It's truly ironic to note that even as women were being encouraged

01:05:43.000 to leave their homes and enter the world of corporate America,

01:05:46.100 the same feminist movement, as with so many other movements of the time,

01:05:50.460 quickly became mixed with something other than the need for women 1.00

01:05:54.280 to do something outside their home.

01:05:55.860 The anti-corporate message of Marxism was also added to this mixture.

01:06:02.240 How did you account for women's subordination? 0.93

01:06:06.060 What was your explanation for why women were oppressed? 0.86

01:06:10.220 We thought it was a mixture of men and capitalism.

01:06:17.680 It seemed to me that if you were going to change women's position, 1.00

01:06:22.480 you needed to change the society.

01:06:25.900 So somehow doing more than changing diapers

01:06:28.680 became intermingled with Marxism.

01:06:31.900 I was in those small consciousness-raising groups,

01:06:34.140 but at first with my characteristic arrogance,

01:06:36.240 I thought I was in them not because I was oppressed,

01:06:39.500 but rather because I was going to bring them real politics.

01:06:43.860 They needed an economic analysis.

01:06:46.160 They needed Marx, they needed Engels, 0.62

01:06:47.880 they needed all those things that I could bring them.

01:06:49.680 And thank the goddess, they got to me before I got to them.

01:06:53.040 I was in a group which was a rather swatty group, actually,

01:06:58.960 because we wanted to read about anthropology.

01:07:02.680 And I had the idea that somehow or other anthropology provided some mystery key.

01:07:09.320 Anyway, we all sat down and read Engels.

01:07:11.620 Then we read Simone de Beauvoir.

01:07:15.300 And so we read things and discussed them.

01:07:18.880 And then we would have these heart-rending sessions about saying,

01:07:22.280 we're not a proper consciousness-raising group like the Americans. 0.59

01:07:26.300 We need to talk more personally.

01:07:28.440 So, as with many movements in the 1960s and 70s,

01:07:33.600 Marxism and radicalism poisoned the direction that this movement would take.

01:07:39.000 What may have started out as a way for women to discover new talents 1.00

01:07:42.240 that they never knew they had,

01:07:44.100 and to spread their wings to fly a little,

01:07:46.760 morphed into yet another way for radicals to infiltrate American society.

01:07:52.360 For those radicals, this movement had the added benefit

01:07:56.440 of striking at the very foundation of American life,

01:08:00.180 the American family.

01:08:02.000 Whereas in the 1950s, 81% of mothers with young children stayed home with them.

01:08:08.100 By 2000, that number had dwindled to 23%.

01:08:12.700 And in the meantime, with no one,

01:08:17.260 no mother or father in the home full-time,

01:08:20.060 nearly every aspect of American life has suffered as a result.

01:08:24.540 But there is a silver lining in the story.

01:08:28.320 In the recent years,

01:08:29.500 the downward trend of mothers choosing to work inside the home has been reversed.

01:08:35.120 As of the latest year that statistics are available,

01:08:38.080 29% of American mothers with children

01:08:40.740 have chosen to stay at home and raise their young families.

01:08:45.200 It just may be that a significant number of American parents

01:08:49.640 are realizing that there is a war being waged in this country.

01:08:54.700 And it is a war on children.

01:08:58.220 And that someone needs to fight the battle in the home.

01:09:07.380 Starting next week,

01:09:08.720 in an exclusive serial in the Glenn Beck program,

01:09:11.380 you'll learn the truth about the war on women.

01:09:14.220 Listen to the entire catalog of serials now online

01:09:16.840 at glennbeck.com slash serials.

01:09:19.880 You know what I'm thinking is,

01:09:21.700 is that the pendulum has swung so far one direction

01:09:25.800 that it's swinging back the other direction in the home.

01:09:33.040 The things that were common sense for our grandmothers,

01:09:37.520 our mothers got lost with,

01:09:40.980 at least mine did,

01:09:42.280 with the Equal Rights Movement.

01:09:43.520 She was battling the, 0.96

01:09:48.440 she was, you know,

01:09:49.500 had one foot one place and one foot the other.

01:09:52.880 She couldn't go for the Marxism burn your bra thing, 1.00

01:09:55.920 but she also wanted to be more than a stay-home mom.

01:09:59.340 And she was confused.

01:10:00.980 That confused the daughters. 0.98

01:10:03.340 And now our daughters

01:10:05.540 are starting to swing back the other way.

01:10:09.200 And it reminds me of

01:10:10.320 the gods of the copybook headings.

01:10:14.680 Listen to this last.

01:10:16.360 Then the gods of the market tumbled

01:10:17.840 and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew

01:10:19.600 and the hearts of the meanest were humbled

01:10:21.160 and began to believe it was true,

01:10:22.960 that all is not gold that glitters

01:10:25.200 and two and two do make four.

01:10:27.160 And the gods of the copybook headings

01:10:28.780 limped up to explain it once more.

01:10:31.240 As it will be in the future,

01:10:32.600 it was at the birth of man.

01:10:34.240 There are only four things certain

01:10:35.700 since social progress began,

01:10:37.320 that the dog returns to his vomit

01:10:39.020 and the sow returns to his mire 0.99

01:10:40.660 and the burnt fool's bandage finger 0.99

01:10:43.360 goes wobbling back to the fire. 0.99

01:10:45.260 That's where we are.

01:10:46.720 It's going wobbling back to the fire,

01:10:48.580 but it's waking up.

01:10:52.400 And after this is accomplished

01:10:53.560 and the brave new world begins

01:10:55.560 when all men are paid for existing 1.00

01:10:57.500 and no man must pay for his sins,

01:10:59.920 we're right there.

01:11:01.140 As surely as water will wet us,

01:11:02.740 as surely as fire will burn,

01:11:04.660 the gods of the copybook headings

01:11:06.280 with terror and slaughter return.

01:11:09.040 We are at that point

01:11:10.400 to where no man pays for his sins,

01:11:13.360 no man is just,

01:11:14.900 every man is just paid for existing. 0.97

01:11:17.380 And two and two don't equal four,

01:11:19.860 but it soon will again.

01:11:21.380 That's what's happening.

01:11:23.040 Goldline is our sponsor this half hour.

01:11:24.660 According to one expert,

01:11:25.560 the different perspectives

01:11:26.580 of chairwoman Yellen

01:11:28.040 and President Trump

01:11:29.000 further underscore the potential

01:11:30.260 for a future collision

01:11:31.500 rather than productive collaboration.

01:11:33.860 Donald Trump versus Janet Yellen.

01:11:36.560 The clash getting closer to happening.

01:11:39.600 The markets had been looking

01:11:40.620 for real progress

01:11:41.500 from Trump's promise

01:11:42.360 on tax reform

01:11:43.420 and regulatory rollbacks

01:11:44.760 and the rollback of real reform

01:11:47.180 in health care.

01:11:48.680 That's not happening.

01:11:50.240 The market shrugged off

01:11:51.180 the market 15 Fed interest rate increase

01:11:53.420 in anticipation

01:11:54.000 of the Trump spurred economic growth.

01:11:56.100 But if you notice

01:11:57.080 what's happening

01:11:57.600 to the stock market right now,

01:11:59.840 it is starting to say,

01:12:02.600 wait a minute,

01:12:03.060 maybe that's not going to happen.

01:12:05.120 So what does come next?

01:12:08.060 Only God knows.

01:12:10.360 But two and two do equal four.

01:12:12.800 And when the gods

01:12:13.400 of the copybook headings return,

01:12:15.500 it's not pleasant.

01:12:17.460 I would have gold,

01:12:18.980 something that is eternally true.

01:12:22.560 Gold.

01:12:23.080 Find out the risk

01:12:25.440 for buying gold or silver

01:12:28.580 Call 866-465-3546.

01:12:31.460 The only company

01:12:32.400 I recommend doing business with

01:12:33.720 is Goldline.

01:12:34.560 1-866-GOLDLINE.

01:12:35.860 1-866-GOLDLINE

01:12:37.100 or goldline.com.

01:12:41.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:44.600 Mercury.

01:12:48.420 You're listening

01:12:49.340 to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:12:50.620 Can we play a little bit

01:12:52.900 of the Kate Winslet thing?

01:12:53.940 This is from

01:12:55.260 The War on Women. 0.67

01:12:56.120 This is a speech

01:12:57.360 she gave in England

01:12:58.120 about women empowerment.

01:13:00.040 But as you listen to this,

01:13:02.060 ask yourself,

01:13:02.800 what part of this

01:13:03.520 do you not want

01:13:04.240 your son to also hear?

01:13:06.100 And it was my turn.

01:13:07.740 Kate Winslet,

01:13:08.480 are you ready?

01:13:10.000 The question is,

01:13:11.800 are you ready for me?

01:13:15.120 I will tell myself.

01:13:17.620 She was talking about fat shaming.

01:13:19.540 I will tell myself,

01:13:20.640 come on,

01:13:21.320 are you ready for me, world?

01:13:24.440 And so I kept working.

01:13:26.640 I kept working

01:13:27.880 and I kept trying my best.

01:13:29.840 And then one day,

01:13:31.420 I was cast as Rose in Santa Ana.

01:13:35.160 She says,

01:13:36.040 I was this fat girl 0.60

01:13:37.080 from a sandwich shop 0.91

01:13:38.620 from the worst part of London.

01:13:41.920 The most,

01:13:43.200 the most unlikely candidate.

01:13:45.860 Kate from the sandwich shop

01:13:47.440 in Reading suddenly acting

01:13:49.320 in one of the biggest movies

01:13:50.920 ever made.

01:13:53.040 Right there.

01:13:53.860 I mean,

01:13:54.080 I wouldn't want to encourage

01:13:55.440 my son to be Rose from Titanic.

01:13:56.960 Okay,

01:13:57.240 now stop.

01:13:57.820 Play there.

01:13:58.460 Listen to this.

01:13:58.940 You can be,

01:14:00.100 you can be from anywhere

01:14:02.060 and you can do anything.

01:14:04.820 Believe it.

01:14:05.840 It is possible

01:14:06.600 to overcome your fears.

01:14:08.340 What if I fail?

01:14:09.240 Fall over my big feet?

01:14:10.440 Who cares?

01:14:11.160 Be you,

01:14:11.860 be you.

01:14:12.360 I learned to embrace my flaws.

01:14:14.760 To make no apology

01:14:15.920 for who I am,

01:14:16.760 I dug deep.

01:14:17.640 Stop.

01:14:18.760 What part of this

01:14:19.840 do you not want your son to hear?

01:14:22.140 We're not telling our sons this.

01:14:24.120 We're only telling our daughters this.

01:14:27.700 Sons, 0.90

01:14:29.140 you can be anything.

01:14:32.100 Believe in yourself

01:14:33.880 and chart a great,

01:14:37.620 bold course forward.

01:14:39.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:14:43.360 Mercury.

01:14:59.000 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

01:15:03.240 I love this headline.

01:15:05.200 Movie studios think you'll pay

01:15:07.020 crazy amounts of money

01:15:08.540 to watch movies

01:15:09.460 in your home.

01:15:12.100 What?

01:15:12.780 All right, hang on.

01:15:13.580 Wait, what?

01:15:14.760 I've been doing that for years.

01:15:16.000 I know.

01:15:16.580 They've been talking about,

01:15:17.820 they're talking now about

01:15:18.780 when they release a new movie.

01:15:20.740 So today,

01:15:21.740 Life comes out,

01:15:23.120 which I want to see.

01:15:24.980 If you,

01:15:26.000 if they charge you,

01:15:27.320 quote,

01:15:27.680 a crazy amount of money

01:15:29.280 that they think you'll pay it

01:15:32.040 so you can just watch it on TV

01:15:33.620 on opening night

01:15:34.480 or, you know,

01:15:34.960 for the first 20 days

01:15:36.160 while it's in the theaters.

01:15:38.900 Yeah.

01:15:39.460 Now what's the crazy amount?

01:15:42.520 Quote,

01:15:43.700 $30.

01:15:45.820 Have they been to a movie theater

01:15:47.860 besides by themselves lately?

01:15:51.860 By the time you buy your ticket,

01:15:53.680 your wife's ticket,

01:15:54.500 or your kids' tickets,

01:15:55.840 plus snacks,

01:15:56.780 plus popcorn,

01:15:57.520 you're at 50 bucks, man.

01:15:59.620 Easy.

01:16:00.340 I eat my own popcorn,

01:16:01.660 I stay at home,

01:16:02.920 I watch it in the comfort of my couch.

01:16:05.060 Yeah, I'll pay that.

01:16:06.180 I'll pay that.

01:16:07.220 I'll pay that in a heartbeat.

01:16:08.480 And they are saying 30 days,

01:16:10.120 30 day delay.

01:16:10.900 Yeah, more than 30 bucks.

01:16:11.440 So it would come out 30 days

01:16:13.100 in theaters only.

01:16:13.860 You'd have to wait a month,

01:16:14.960 then you'd get to see it in your home.

01:16:16.200 Yeah, that's fine.

01:16:17.320 That's pretty good, though.

01:16:18.220 That's pretty good.

01:16:18.880 That's only a month after.

01:16:20.600 I'm all for that.

01:16:21.180 I'd pay 30 bucks for that. 0.67

01:16:21.860 They're pretty close to that.

01:16:22.820 I mean, sometimes they're within three months.

01:16:25.600 I think it is three months.

01:16:26.740 Yeah.

01:16:26.920 I mean, I'm not.

01:16:28.100 Only for, you know,

01:16:29.860 the more successful the movie,

01:16:32.300 the longer it is.

01:16:33.020 Yeah, right.

01:16:33.780 Sometimes it's six months or nine months.

01:16:35.740 I don't know.

01:16:36.200 I'm willing to pay it.

01:16:37.320 Me too.

01:16:37.600 I'm willing to pay 50 bucks

01:16:39.120 to see it when it's out right now.

01:16:41.060 That was their initial one.

01:16:41.960 Yeah.

01:16:42.120 I'm willing to pay 50 bucks.

01:16:43.920 You're not,

01:16:45.180 you're probably come close

01:16:46.660 to breaking even at 50 bucks

01:16:49.500 for a night to the theater.

01:16:51.140 Yeah.

01:16:51.720 Because you're going,

01:16:52.700 you're going out to eat beforehand

01:16:54.360 or you're eating at the theater.

01:16:56.580 Mm-hmm.

01:16:57.220 You know, then maybe you have snacks

01:16:59.100 and then the tickets.

01:17:00.440 I mean, you're at 50 bucks.

01:17:02.660 A lot of talk about.

01:17:03.640 We begin there right now.

01:17:20.640 I mean, we're just sitting here.

01:17:34.600 Look, some of these things,

01:17:36.540 I want the option.

01:17:37.320 Like, I will go see life

01:17:38.900 in the movie theater.

01:17:40.260 If I can,

01:17:41.660 I want to see it in the movie theater

01:17:43.120 because it looks like

01:17:44.400 a big screen spectacular

01:17:45.740 and there's something about

01:17:46.980 being in the movie theater.

01:17:48.360 Yeah, I like the movie theater.

01:17:49.280 There are other movies

01:17:50.140 that are not that big of a deal

01:17:51.760 that you're like,

01:17:52.200 okay, sing. 1.00

01:17:53.060 Just put it on my damn TV. 1.00

01:17:54.760 Watch sing with my family 1.00

01:17:56.360 in the family room.

01:17:57.640 You know what I mean?

01:17:58.320 Yeah.

01:17:59.140 So it depends.

01:18:00.320 I just want the option

01:18:01.760 to be able to do it.

01:18:03.720 Movie theaters don't want

01:18:04.700 to go out of business,

01:18:05.320 but movie theaters are doing

01:18:06.360 a good job of reinventing themselves.

01:18:08.340 Yeah, they are.

01:18:08.840 But they're still getting that help

01:18:10.280 of the extra.

01:18:11.460 Now even they're fighting for,

01:18:13.360 they're saying that you can pay

01:18:14.540 extra money for,

01:18:16.580 we still are,

01:18:17.460 you're not going to be able

01:18:18.180 to see it at home

01:18:18.960 until 30 or 35 days

01:18:20.840 after it's released.

01:18:21.960 So they're still forcing you

01:18:22.820 to go to the theater

01:18:23.420 if you want to see it.

01:18:24.620 If it's a big movie,

01:18:25.320 you're not waiting for Star Wars

01:18:26.340 for 45 days.

01:18:27.240 And I'm not going to see Star Wars.

01:18:29.880 I don't want to rent Star Wars

01:18:31.440 and watch it on my TV.

01:18:32.820 I want to watch Star Wars

01:18:34.260 and surround sound.

01:18:35.660 And there are times

01:18:36.300 that I want to watch things.

01:18:37.340 What was the movie you saw?

01:18:38.440 Get Out?

01:18:39.220 Yeah.

01:18:39.400 I heard that was a great movie

01:18:41.520 to watch in a movie theater.

01:18:42.600 Yes, it was.

01:18:43.140 Because you're inspiring

01:18:43.780 and so on everyone else.

01:18:45.120 Yeah, everybody's cheering

01:18:45.920 and gasping.

01:18:47.340 Yeah.

01:18:47.760 You want to watch movies

01:18:49.220 and it encourages movie makers

01:18:52.180 and cinemas, theaters,

01:18:56.220 to actually make the experience great.

01:18:59.640 I don't want to watch something

01:19:00.700 that I can watch

01:19:01.440 on my big screen TV at my home

01:19:03.100 and it's the same experience.

01:19:04.860 Yeah.

01:19:05.140 I mean, everyone likes options, right?

01:19:06.960 So I'd love to have the option.

01:19:07.960 I don't think it'd be something

01:19:08.900 that I would use that often, though.

01:19:10.400 I mean, when I want to see a movie,

01:19:12.060 I'll go to the theater and see it.

01:19:13.680 If not, I mean, I'm not...

01:19:15.660 If I'm willing to wait 30 days,

01:19:17.380 then I don't need to pay the premium.

01:19:19.360 You know what's amazing is

01:19:20.460 movie theaters knew that,

01:19:22.820 at least the movie companies,

01:19:24.480 knew that this is the way

01:19:25.780 theaters should be run years ago.

01:19:28.280 I remember in 1982,

01:19:29.860 I'm in Washington, D.C.,

01:19:31.040 and the Movie Association,

01:19:32.780 the Motion Picture Association of America,

01:19:35.180 had a screening room.

01:19:36.720 And I don't remember what I saw was...

01:19:39.180 It might have been

01:19:40.320 the new Star Wars movie

01:19:41.980 when it first came out.

01:19:43.820 The second...

01:19:45.180 Well, let's see.

01:19:46.500 The fourth, fifth.

01:19:47.600 Empire Strikes Back.

01:19:48.740 I may have seen that

01:19:49.980 in Washington, D.C.,

01:19:50.860 in a screening room.

01:19:52.140 And I remember,

01:19:53.240 I was like 19 years old,

01:19:54.520 and I'm like,

01:19:54.940 holy cow, 0.51

01:19:55.620 you should have seen this theater.

01:19:56.880 They had recliners,

01:19:58.440 and they had a little table,

01:19:59.720 and they had people coming up,

01:20:01.920 and you could order food,

01:20:03.280 you could order drinks,

01:20:04.200 and, you know,

01:20:05.200 it was the greatest thing ever.

01:20:07.020 Well, that's what we have now.

01:20:09.160 At least here.

01:20:10.080 I don't know if this has hit

01:20:11.300 every city in America,

01:20:13.380 but Dallas has a lot of

01:20:14.660 really awesome ones.

01:20:15.620 What's the one we go to?

01:20:16.660 The Movie House and Eatery.

01:20:17.940 Oh, my gosh.

01:20:18.720 The movie...

01:20:19.800 Phenomenal.

01:20:20.380 Is it Movie House and Eatery?

01:20:21.540 Yeah.

01:20:21.880 Movie House and Eatery.

01:20:22.740 Yeah.

01:20:23.060 You have one of those.

01:20:24.420 It's phenomenal.

01:20:25.340 Phenomenal.

01:20:25.680 The dine-in theater

01:20:26.460 is really the way to go,

01:20:27.700 because you knock out dinner

01:20:29.200 and the movie at the same time.

01:20:30.920 And usually,

01:20:31.520 food is pretty good.

01:20:32.520 Food is not bad,

01:20:33.680 but you're dropping more than 50.

01:20:35.520 Yeah, you are.

01:20:35.920 Oh, yeah, you are.

01:20:36.380 Well, you're getting two things out of it.

01:20:37.800 You're going to dinner

01:20:38.380 and you're getting a movie.

01:20:39.180 Plus, you pay a premium price

01:20:41.000 for that really nice seating.

01:20:41.920 Yes, you do.

01:20:42.320 It's always $12,

01:20:43.500 no matter when you go.

01:20:44.440 They don't have matinee prices

01:20:46.040 or any of that.

01:20:46.800 It's always $12 across the board.

01:20:48.740 And it's also,

01:20:49.540 you get the assigned seating.

01:20:51.340 I like that.

01:20:51.760 I do like that.

01:20:52.840 And it's clean.

01:20:54.320 Beautiful.

01:20:54.920 Fantastic.

01:20:55.100 You don't have to go...

01:20:56.020 So comfortable.

01:20:56.860 Yeah, you go early

01:20:57.940 if you want to,

01:20:58.880 eat before the movie,

01:21:00.120 or you can go right before the movie,

01:21:01.420 and you know where you're going to sit.

01:21:02.680 I like the reserved seating.

01:21:03.820 It's really comfortable.

01:21:04.940 The only problem is

01:21:05.740 it's almost too comfortable

01:21:06.860 because I fall asleep

01:21:07.740 at almost every movie.

01:21:08.800 I'm reclining back

01:21:11.180 and I'm like...

01:21:12.740 I think I'll have to rent this at home.

01:21:15.240 Well, Cheyenne brings a blanket with her. 0.74

01:21:17.540 Really?

01:21:17.940 Yeah.

01:21:18.380 She's like,

01:21:18.920 it's cold.

01:21:19.600 I bring a blanket.

01:21:20.680 She brings a blanket

01:21:21.560 and she's asleep

01:21:22.740 and I'm like,

01:21:23.220 why am I paying $12 for her to sleep? 1.00

01:21:25.580 Stay at home, babe.

01:21:26.360 Yeah, she's telling you

01:21:27.280 before you leave the house

01:21:28.220 that you're wasting your money.

01:21:29.180 I'm going to sleep.

01:21:29.320 Yeah, she's like,

01:21:30.240 I'm going to take a $12 nap.

01:21:31.540 And then you end up having to eat her food

01:21:31.720 that she ordered

01:21:32.540 and it's tough.

01:21:34.000 I know, I sit next to her

01:21:35.060 every time.

01:21:35.600 Oh, you're not going to eat that.

01:21:36.480 You're asleep.

01:21:37.060 Oh, she's asleep.

01:21:38.140 Anyway, so let's change gears here

01:21:40.500 and let's go to a global warming

01:21:42.020 because Al Gore had a...

01:21:44.180 This is frightening.

01:21:45.060 This is frightening.

01:21:46.000 A new message for everybody.

01:21:48.540 Now poses a great danger

01:21:51.420 that could even threaten

01:21:54.180 the future of human civilization itself.

01:21:56.720 The future of human civilization itself.

01:22:01.000 Now let me ask you something

01:22:01.880 and I mean this sincerely.

01:22:05.000 If you were never, ever questioned

01:22:08.420 or pushed back

01:22:10.200 and you were given all kinds of awards

01:22:12.360 for all of your...

01:22:14.780 Whatever you said,

01:22:16.400 everybody worshipped you

01:22:17.580 and you said,

01:22:19.920 I'm never going to talk to people

01:22:22.700 who disagree with me.

01:22:24.600 I'm never going to debate them

01:22:26.060 because they're deniers

01:22:28.960 and you were effective

01:22:32.160 at taking everyone

01:22:34.140 who disagreed with you

01:22:35.320 and painting them into a monster

01:22:37.100 and you could do that

01:22:38.700 for 20 years.

01:22:41.600 How wrong would you be

01:22:44.040 on almost everything that you said

01:22:46.560 after a 20-year drift?

01:22:48.540 You would be as wrong as Al Gore is.

01:22:50.380 You would be.

01:22:51.080 Because that's exactly what he does.

01:22:52.280 I mean, when nobody's pushing back

01:22:53.600 on him at all,

01:22:54.700 the guy can say...

01:22:55.440 He will not go

01:22:56.340 to any hostile environment

01:22:57.880 where people will test him,

01:22:59.920 where they'll give a little pushback.

01:23:03.100 Never.

01:23:03.660 He won't do it.

01:23:04.420 Well, this happened with you, right?

01:23:04.820 Yeah.

01:23:05.000 When you were in Houston?

01:23:06.280 Yeah.

01:23:06.780 They said,

01:23:07.480 when Inconvenient Truth came out

01:23:09.120 in 2005, was it?

01:23:11.200 They said,

01:23:11.980 okay,

01:23:12.380 he's only doing interviews

01:23:13.840 with those who have seen the movie. 0.67

01:23:15.260 So I went to that crappy movie,

01:23:16.720 went through that experience,

01:23:18.280 suffered through the whole thing,

01:23:19.760 then went back to him.

01:23:21.140 Yeah, he's not.

01:23:21.820 No, he's not going to do the interview.

01:23:23.640 Well, you said he'd do the interview.

01:23:25.660 No, he's not doing any of those interviews.

01:23:27.680 So the only place he would go

01:23:29.020 were to friendly outlets.

01:23:31.540 You know, he would go to all the...

01:23:32.860 That was few and far between,

01:23:34.000 I think, after...

01:23:34.700 It was.

01:23:35.240 Because he ended up

01:23:36.020 getting pushed back

01:23:37.620 on some of those interviews,

01:23:38.740 and he was like,

01:23:39.280 I can't do that.

01:23:40.420 So imagine...

01:23:40.920 He can't.

01:23:41.360 Just think, guys,

01:23:42.140 how lucky we are

01:23:43.180 that people push back.

01:23:44.520 Yeah.

01:23:44.800 I mean, we can...

01:23:45.940 Well, I thought we could.

01:23:46.960 We could defend our position

01:23:49.040 because people call us

01:23:51.640 a pariah all the time.

01:23:53.240 I mean, there's a blessing in that.

01:23:55.400 Otherwise, you'd be as wrong

01:23:56.400 as this guy is.

01:23:57.380 Yeah.

01:23:57.560 I was just in the Persian Gulf region,

01:24:00.720 and the scientists,

01:24:02.000 for the last couple of years,

01:24:04.000 one of the lines of investigation

01:24:06.200 they've been pursuing

01:24:07.180 has led them to the conclusion

01:24:08.720 that significant areas

01:24:10.920 of the Middle East

01:24:12.100 and North Africa

01:24:12.940 are in danger of becoming

01:24:14.600 uninhabitable.

01:24:16.720 And just a taste of this

01:24:20.520 to link it to

01:24:21.560 some of the events

01:24:23.040 that the UK and...

01:24:24.820 Hold on just a second.

01:24:25.640 You're saying parts

01:24:26.680 of the Middle East

01:24:27.420 are uninhabitable?

01:24:28.920 Uninhabitable.

01:24:29.460 So, like, parts of

01:24:30.560 Saudi Arabia

01:24:32.340 and Iraq

01:24:34.540 and Syria

01:24:35.540 and parts of Northern Africa

01:24:36.680 are not green, luscious land

01:24:39.740 that is fertile

01:24:40.880 for mankind to live?

01:24:42.540 Yeah.

01:24:43.320 Yeah.

01:24:43.740 I'm having a hard time

01:24:45.360 getting...

01:24:45.880 Is there a term to describe

01:24:46.900 that sort of environment?

01:24:48.120 Well, I don't know

01:24:48.740 if anybody is up on this.

01:24:49.880 It's called a desert.

01:24:51.260 Oh, okay.

01:24:51.780 Oh, I've never heard of that.

01:24:52.740 Yeah.

01:24:53.180 It's a new scientific...

01:24:54.800 I've heard of dessert.

01:24:55.940 Is it the same as dessert?

01:24:56.940 No, it's the opposite.

01:24:58.120 There's no way to grow anything.

01:24:59.780 It's just a place full of sand.

01:25:01.440 It sounds like dessert.

01:25:02.660 It's not that?

01:25:03.080 But it's not.

01:25:03.520 It's very different.

01:25:04.680 Okay.

01:25:04.800 Opposite of dessert.

01:25:05.320 Union are going through,

01:25:06.160 and I know that's another source

01:25:07.440 of stress

01:25:08.480 because we're now

01:25:09.880 on the eve next week

01:25:11.520 of the Brexit process.

01:25:13.880 But think for a moment

01:25:17.560 about what happened in Syria.

01:25:19.740 Let's think about that.

01:25:20.740 You know,

01:25:21.900 we look at the gates of hell

01:25:24.220 opening.

01:25:25.100 They've long since opened.

01:25:26.560 Long since.

01:25:27.080 But before the gates of hell

01:25:28.340 opened in Syria,

01:25:29.220 what happened?

01:25:29.940 What happened?

01:25:30.520 What happened?

01:25:30.780 A climate-related

01:25:31.960 extreme drought.

01:25:33.800 And the scientists

01:25:34.360 have published

01:25:35.020 these peer-reviewed studies

01:25:36.340 for several years now

01:25:37.880 showing exactly

01:25:39.160 why it's related

01:25:40.060 to the climate crisis.

01:25:40.920 And this is an important point

01:25:42.640 as he makes it here.

01:25:45.400 It's not that he never

01:25:46.700 receives pushback,

01:25:48.160 but built into his worldview

01:25:49.940 is that everyone

01:25:50.900 who does pushback

01:25:52.140 is a Holocaust denier.

01:25:53.720 Yes.

01:25:54.140 Is someone with

01:25:54.780 such little credibility

01:25:55.700 they should never be listened to

01:25:57.400 under any circumstances.

01:25:59.100 And to be honest...

01:26:00.260 And those who get

01:26:01.140 government money

01:26:01.920 to do studies

01:26:03.600 that will back you up

01:26:05.120 are the greatest scientists

01:26:06.760 of the world.

01:26:07.240 Like Dr. Maslowski.

01:26:09.060 And it's funny because...

01:26:10.280 No, say it like Al Gore.

01:26:11.420 Dr. Maslowski.

01:26:13.380 Yeah, right.

01:26:14.040 That guy.

01:26:14.760 So the point here, though,

01:26:15.820 is that...

01:26:16.420 In some of Dr. Maslowski's research.

01:26:19.100 In some of the months.

01:26:19.880 In some of the summer months.

01:26:21.820 We should play that quote again.

01:26:22.920 It's so good.

01:26:23.700 But I think largely

01:26:25.300 as a society,

01:26:26.040 we're all falling into this.

01:26:27.260 Right?

01:26:27.400 This is what social media

01:26:28.240 is doing to everybody.

01:26:29.540 Because people,

01:26:30.140 you get pushback

01:26:30.860 on social media,

01:26:31.660 but everyone who disagrees

01:26:32.740 with you,

01:26:33.020 you just automatically 0.99

01:26:33.880 just say is nuts 0.66

01:26:35.100 or, you know, 0.97

01:26:36.380 is crazy

01:26:37.200 and you shouldn't listen to it. 0.99

01:26:38.120 You're a denier.

01:26:38.960 You're a hater. 0.67

01:26:39.620 You don't care.

01:26:40.760 And so people don't get

01:26:41.860 legitimate, honest pushback

01:26:43.940 on any of their points.

01:26:45.760 It's what we talked to

01:26:46.500 with Megan Phelps Roper

01:26:48.580 who used to be

01:26:49.680 in the Westboro Baptist Church

01:26:50.820 earlier this week.

01:26:52.040 And since you never face

01:26:53.440 honest questions anywhere,

01:26:55.460 people wind up just being

01:26:56.840 in their little arena

01:26:58.580 and never get pushed.

01:26:59.520 The guy is actually blaming

01:27:01.420 the Syrian war

01:27:02.920 on climate change.

01:27:05.480 I mean,

01:27:06.700 the unmitigated

01:27:08.020 goal of that

01:27:09.400 is just,

01:27:10.060 it's hard to get

01:27:11.160 your head around.

01:27:11.880 He's pushing,

01:27:12.700 he's saying that

01:27:13.260 the final outcome

01:27:14.220 in Brexit,

01:27:15.520 you know what I mean,

01:27:15.800 he's speaking in the

01:27:16.560 United Kingdom,

01:27:17.320 in Brexit,

01:27:18.200 is because of that.

01:27:19.160 Because of climate change.

01:27:20.020 Ultimately,

01:27:20.640 the beginning cause

01:27:21.500 is climate change.

01:27:22.020 From 2006

01:27:22.820 to 2010,

01:27:24.500 60% of the farms

01:27:26.680 in Syria

01:27:27.400 were destroyed

01:27:28.540 and had to be abandoned.

01:27:29.740 80% of the livestock

01:27:31.760 were killed.

01:27:33.360 The drought

01:27:33.820 in the eastern Mediterranean

01:27:34.940 is the worst

01:27:36.240 ever recorded.

01:27:37.240 The records only go

01:27:38.000 back 900 years.

01:27:39.660 900 years.

01:27:40.540 It's historic.

01:27:41.720 It's historic.

01:27:42.380 And one and a half

01:27:43.100 million climate refugees

01:27:44.620 were driven

01:27:45.280 into the cities

01:27:46.040 of Syria

01:27:46.640 where they collided

01:27:47.980 with another million

01:27:48.920 and a half refugees

01:27:49.660 from the Iraq war.

01:27:50.940 They ran smack

01:27:51.860 into them

01:27:52.300 because the million

01:27:52.940 and a half

01:27:53.440 were just standing there.

01:27:54.920 And then the refugees 1.00

01:27:56.380 ran directly into them.

01:27:58.160 And then the ones

01:27:59.760 who were standing there

01:28:00.780 already were pithed.

01:28:02.920 And a war broke out.

01:28:04.580 It's interesting.

01:28:05.220 It's interesting.

01:28:06.180 The guy that I read yesterday,

01:28:07.680 the guy who wrote

01:28:08.560 Homo Deus,

01:28:11.200 the brief history

01:28:13.080 of tomorrow,

01:28:14.260 he said that

01:28:15.780 starvation is done,

01:28:18.300 a thing of the past.

01:28:19.280 And the only reason

01:28:20.420 why we have famine now

01:28:21.820 is because some politician

01:28:24.060 wants people to starve.

01:28:26.240 Like perhaps Bashar Assad. 0.77

01:28:28.160 Yes, perhaps that.

01:28:29.700 Now this,

01:28:30.940 how do you protect

01:28:31.700 your most valuable items?

01:28:33.900 We trust Liberty Safe.

01:28:58.380 unless it's better

01:28:59.380 than the European car.

01:29:01.060 If it's better

01:29:01.560 than the European car,

01:29:02.500 great.

01:29:54.720 Glenn Beck.

01:29:57.580 Mercury.

01:30:01.780 888-727-BECK.

01:30:04.040 This is

01:30:04.920 the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:07.940 Welcome to the program.

01:30:09.020 I'm so glad you're here.

01:30:10.680 It's Friday.

01:30:11.480 I'm going down to Houston.

01:30:12.360 I'm in a...

01:30:13.360 I'm in a...

01:30:14.680 My wife and I

01:30:16.300 are going to

01:30:17.100 Chuck Norris

01:30:18.220 and his wife's charity.

01:30:20.660 tonight

01:30:21.680 and doing a fundraiser

01:30:22.720 for them.

01:30:23.440 I've painted something

01:30:25.000 for the charity,

01:30:26.620 and I'm going to have

01:30:27.660 Chuck sign it

01:30:29.060 on the side.

01:30:30.640 It's...

01:30:31.180 It's my version

01:30:33.380 of Chuck Norris.

01:30:36.740 But...

01:30:37.160 Kind of looks like him.

01:30:38.060 Kind of looks...

01:30:38.560 It does look like him.

01:30:39.300 It does.

01:30:39.600 It does look like him.

01:30:40.960 So anyway,

01:30:41.580 so if you're down

01:30:43.180 in the Houston area,

01:30:44.180 you can find more

01:30:44.740 about it at Glenn Beck.

01:30:45.680 Did the artists

01:30:46.160 get to make that determination?

01:30:47.660 No, it does.

01:30:48.200 It does look such as like him.

01:30:49.180 No, the artists.

01:30:49.680 No, you don't get

01:30:50.800 to say that.

01:30:51.640 But it does.

01:30:52.620 Jeffy is saying

01:30:53.380 as an outside observer

01:30:54.320 whether it looks like Chuck Norris.

01:30:55.600 You don't get to correct him

01:30:56.500 and say it does.

01:30:56.680 Does it look like Chuck Norris?

01:30:57.760 It looks a little like him.

01:30:58.520 That's what I said.

01:30:59.200 Oh my gosh,

01:30:59.600 it looks a little like him.

01:31:00.320 It looks just like him.

01:31:01.340 No, it does.

01:31:01.840 I think it does.

01:31:02.520 Yeah.

01:31:02.980 But you don't get

01:31:03.660 to make that determination wrong.

01:31:05.120 Thank you.

01:31:07.700 Riffraff.

01:31:12.300 Okay.

01:31:12.620 Let's see.

01:31:16.340 Let's talk about the story

01:31:18.740 where the scientists

01:31:20.900 have tried to hire.

01:31:23.360 How many scientists

01:31:24.080 tried to hire this guy?

01:31:26.580 They went to 48 different

01:31:28.340 scientific journals.

01:31:29.680 Okay.

01:31:30.320 48 scientific journals

01:31:31.660 and they tried to get

01:31:35.260 this particular scientist

01:31:37.860 on the board

01:31:38.680 to do peer review.

01:31:39.940 And you just heard Al Gore

01:31:41.080 talking about how important

01:31:42.060 peer review is.

01:31:43.440 And the thing is

01:31:44.620 only 40 of them

01:31:46.580 accepted this person.

01:31:48.120 Out of how many?

01:31:48.540 48.

01:31:49.420 48.

01:31:50.920 48 were approached.

01:31:52.660 40 of them

01:31:53.860 said yes

01:31:55.200 to accepting him

01:31:56.520 to do peer review studies.

01:31:58.620 The one issue

01:31:59.500 was he

01:32:01.160 wasn't a scientist at all.

01:32:04.020 In fact,

01:32:04.980 his last name

01:32:06.120 was

01:32:06.900 Fraud.

01:32:08.340 40 of 48

01:32:12.080 scientific journals

01:32:13.160 hired a guy

01:32:14.360 named Fraud

01:32:15.600 Oh my gosh.

01:32:16.860 With fake credentials.

01:32:20.000 Well,

01:32:20.860 there's absolute

01:32:21.880 consensus

01:32:22.680 by scientists

01:32:23.820 on this issue.

01:32:26.660 Yeah,

01:32:26.860 but are they

01:32:27.180 peer reviewed

01:32:27.680 by people like this?

01:32:28.900 Peer reviewed

01:32:29.260 by Dr. Fraud.

01:32:32.720 They shouldn't have

01:32:33.920 let on

01:32:34.880 until they had

01:32:35.480 actually peer reviewed

01:32:36.760 some stuff.

01:32:37.340 That's great though.

01:32:39.560 And they said

01:32:40.020 they think that

01:32:41.060 this sort of

01:32:42.000 misconduct

01:32:42.800 because they think

01:32:43.280 a lot of these

01:32:43.720 places are just

01:32:44.420 doing it.

01:32:44.760 They'll take

01:32:45.000 anybody who

01:32:45.560 submits something

01:32:46.180 and faze them.

01:32:47.360 Of course they will.

01:32:47.880 And this is

01:32:48.320 why Willie Soon

01:32:49.560 who is a

01:32:51.220 really respected

01:32:52.860 scientist.

01:32:54.320 He's from

01:32:54.700 Well, he was.

01:32:55.860 Yeah, he was

01:32:56.640 until he became

01:32:57.420 a skeptic

01:32:58.060 on man-caused

01:32:59.520 global warming.

01:33:00.660 He's calling it

01:33:01.200 an anti-science movie.

01:33:02.960 He said that

01:33:03.580 they need to create 0.98

01:33:05.140 a place in hell 0.99

01:33:06.440 to put UN's

01:33:07.720 climate science

01:33:08.440 and predictions.

01:33:09.420 Now, he originally

01:33:10.220 signed on?

01:33:12.000 Wasn't he

01:33:12.340 original signer

01:33:14.000 of that?

01:33:14.640 I'm not sure.

01:33:15.520 I don't know.

01:33:16.360 He's been a known

01:33:17.700 skeptic for a while.

01:33:19.160 Yeah, for quite a while.

01:33:19.440 But he was in on it.

01:33:20.580 I mean, not in on it,

01:33:21.460 but he believed,

01:33:22.520 he thought there was

01:33:23.320 enough evidence

01:33:24.140 to say,

01:33:24.720 hey, we should study this.

01:33:25.800 We should look at it

01:33:26.580 at first.

01:33:27.320 Wasn't he?

01:33:27.680 You know,

01:33:29.680 we've talked to so many

01:33:31.340 scientists over the years

01:33:32.060 and it may be,

01:33:32.880 I know he's

01:33:33.240 Yeah, we've had him on.

01:33:33.940 He's an astrophysicist

01:33:35.100 at Harvard.

01:33:36.380 He's not just some guy.

01:33:37.840 Right.

01:33:38.260 Right.

01:33:38.620 But because he's skeptical,

01:33:40.220 he's been ostracized

01:33:41.200 from a lot of...

01:33:41.580 It does say,

01:33:42.360 once a friend

01:33:43.020 of the IPCC.

01:33:44.160 Yeah.

01:33:44.500 I think he was

01:33:45.300 original signer.

01:33:45.880 Yeah.

01:33:46.260 The second and third

01:33:47.180 climate assessment,

01:33:48.680 IPCC cited my work

01:33:50.080 very prominently.

01:33:51.060 And then all of a sudden,

01:33:52.180 they stopped reaching out

01:33:53.040 because we're running

01:33:54.360 out of favor in a sense

01:33:55.280 because he started

01:33:56.240 to become skeptical.

01:33:57.180 He started to look

01:33:58.400 at the actual evidence.

01:33:59.560 He started to see

01:34:00.300 that all the climate

01:34:00.960 models were wrong.

01:34:02.280 He started to see

01:34:03.020 that what they were saying

01:34:04.600 just wasn't true.

01:34:06.400 I mean,

01:34:06.680 every drought,

01:34:07.960 every heat wave,

01:34:09.800 every cold wave,

01:34:11.220 every snow,

01:34:12.100 every non-snow

01:34:13.160 is blamed on the same

01:34:14.700 stinking thing.

01:34:16.160 And it's just, 0.99

01:34:16.740 it's ludicrous. 0.96

01:34:17.760 Except your daughter 0.70

01:34:19.100 just had to do

01:34:20.860 a report on climate.

01:34:22.600 Had to.

01:34:23.220 The whole class

01:34:24.220 on this internet class

01:34:26.160 was asked to do

01:34:27.040 their opinion

01:34:27.720 on climate change.

01:34:28.880 And so she wrote

01:34:29.580 her skeptical opinion.

01:34:31.080 And she was,

01:34:32.240 out of 35 students,

01:34:34.660 the only one

01:34:36.760 who was skeptical.

01:34:38.820 Wow.

01:34:39.320 Everybody else,

01:34:40.380 including the teacher,

01:34:41.820 wholeheartedly

01:34:43.020 in love with this.

01:34:43.640 How do you know that?

01:34:45.040 Because.

01:34:45.740 Was she publicly shamed?

01:34:47.000 Yeah.

01:34:47.540 I mean,

01:34:48.060 they all post it online.

01:34:50.620 Yeah,

01:34:50.760 they all post their opinions,

01:34:51.860 including the teacher.

01:34:52.840 and it was unanimous

01:34:54.480 other than my daughter,

01:34:55.540 April.

01:34:56.400 Good for you.

01:34:57.260 Yeah.

01:34:57.980 Good for you.

01:34:58.580 You must be so proud.

01:34:59.920 I'm you.

01:35:00.620 Holocost denier. 0.92

01:35:02.400 Holy cow. 0.89

01:35:03.520 I know.

01:35:04.740 Well,

01:35:05.300 in Thumb,

01:35:06.140 Thumber Month,

01:35:07.200 according to Thumb

01:35:08.240 of Dr. Madlowski's research.

01:35:13.180 Back in a minute.

01:35:13.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:17.260 Mercury.

01:35:22.240 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:24.700 Amen, brother.

01:35:26.060 So,

01:35:26.680 let me ask you this.

01:35:28.100 Let me ask you this.

01:35:29.020 Who said,

01:35:30.420 who gives the media

01:35:31.560 these documents?

01:35:33.680 It's the state services.

01:35:36.720 Do you mean that the president

01:35:38.040 is behind these reports?

01:35:40.680 Or do you believe that politicians

01:35:42.180 are behind these reports?

01:35:43.680 I'm going to go further.

01:35:45.080 I blame the president

01:35:46.520 who said that.

01:35:49.320 Let me give you another hint.

01:35:51.480 He is now saying

01:35:52.960 that there is,

01:35:54.580 that the president

01:35:55.820 is orchestrating

01:35:58.500 a plot against him

01:36:00.420 by surveilling him

01:36:03.560 and releasing information

01:36:05.480 against him.

01:36:06.980 I mean,

01:36:08.400 is it the guy in France?

01:36:10.520 It's the guy in France.

01:36:11.520 He says that

01:36:13.520 the president of France,

01:36:14.960 Francois Holland,

01:36:16.000 is orchestrating a plot

01:36:18.820 and it's against him

01:36:22.100 and he is just trying

01:36:24.260 to lie about him

01:36:25.720 and release

01:36:26.460 all of these secret details

01:36:28.180 about him.

01:36:29.260 Is this just being repeated

01:36:30.600 all over the world?

01:36:31.580 Is that what's happening?

01:36:32.160 I guess.

01:36:33.240 I guess.

01:36:34.060 That's weird.

01:36:34.800 Might as well, it worked.

01:36:35.860 Yeah, I guess.

01:36:37.060 They're now saying,

01:36:38.340 is the European spring

01:36:39.800 in the making?

01:36:42.360 How long ago was it

01:36:43.480 I talked about

01:36:43.980 a European spring?

01:36:46.260 Well, that's what...

01:36:47.020 Around the same time

01:36:47.520 as the...

01:36:48.460 Caliphate.

01:36:49.420 Yeah.

01:36:50.100 Around the same time

01:36:50.920 as the caliphate.

01:36:51.480 I said, next.

01:36:52.220 Caliphate will happen 1.00

01:36:52.960 and then next

01:36:53.480 will be European spring.

01:36:55.300 I thought it would happen

01:36:55.940 a lot faster,

01:36:56.720 but now,

01:36:58.060 now they're reporting,

01:36:59.460 hey, a European spring.

01:37:01.900 I know, I know.

01:37:03.340 That's crazy talk.

01:37:04.800 That's crazy talk.

01:37:05.580 I mean, looking at

01:37:07.680 that French presidential election too

01:37:09.100 because the polling is out

01:37:10.260 and Le Pen is the one

01:37:12.240 that everyone's talking about

01:37:13.280 obviously because

01:37:14.200 that family comes from

01:37:15.960 the National Front

01:37:16.980 which is sort of seen

01:37:18.780 as this very right wing

01:37:20.980 if not,

01:37:22.940 you know,

01:37:23.180 people call them fascists

01:37:24.480 all the time.

01:37:25.700 But you go back,

01:37:26.320 I mean, they have,

01:37:28.560 this is definitely

01:37:29.200 the best showing

01:37:30.000 they've ever had.

01:37:31.160 I mean, you go back to

01:37:31.900 2002 this happened

01:37:33.120 because the way they do

01:37:33.740 their presidential election

01:37:34.640 in France is they have

01:37:35.740 everyone's in the same pool

01:37:37.380 and then the top two

01:37:38.720 go to a runoff

01:37:40.160 and unless someone

01:37:42.200 gets over 50%

01:37:43.060 which is I believe

01:37:43.900 never happened

01:37:44.600 in any of their

01:37:45.500 presidential elections.

01:37:46.860 So there's always

01:37:47.580 a runoff election

01:37:48.360 between the top two

01:37:49.380 and only,

01:37:50.520 so her dad,

01:37:52.060 the dad of this family,

01:37:54.600 the founder of the party

01:37:55.520 who's seen even

01:37:56.900 as more radical

01:37:57.840 than the daughter.

01:37:59.640 Holocaust denier.

01:38:00.820 Right, so he,

01:38:02.180 this is back when

01:38:02.920 Jacques Chirac

01:38:03.860 was in

01:38:04.780 and he,

01:38:05.680 the first round,

01:38:07.300 Chirac got 20%,

01:38:08.540 Le Pen had 17%

01:38:10.320 and then the socialist

01:38:11.540 had 16%.

01:38:12.660 No one found the socialist.

01:38:13.700 They were like,

01:38:14.080 oh, I can't believe

01:38:14.580 the socialist didn't beat

01:38:15.520 the fascist

01:38:16.580 was their way of taking that.

01:38:18.060 They went to the,

01:38:18.620 they went to the runoff

01:38:19.660 after that

01:38:20.300 and Chirac won

01:38:21.940 82 to 18%.

01:38:23.660 Wow.

01:38:24.200 So basically

01:38:24.940 every single vote

01:38:26.520 outside of the votes

01:38:27.440 that Le Pen got

01:38:28.440 in the first round

01:38:29.080 went to Chirac.

01:38:31.140 They only went from

01:38:32.560 17 to 18

01:38:33.720 in the two rounds.

01:38:35.200 So what are they doing?

01:38:36.680 What is she getting now?

01:38:38.280 So to just go,

01:38:39.780 going through these

01:38:40.700 from year by year

01:38:41.280 here real quick,

01:38:42.200 didn't make the runoff

01:38:43.200 in 2007,

01:38:44.320 didn't make the runoff

01:38:44.920 in 2012.

01:38:45.760 The polling right now

01:38:46.620 in 2017

01:38:47.500 has in first place,

01:38:49.820 not second place,

01:38:50.620 first place

01:38:51.180 is Jean-Marie Le Pen

01:38:52.200 at 27%.

01:38:53.700 And then

01:38:54.500 Macron,

01:38:56.180 the next guy,

01:38:57.200 is at 26,

01:38:58.160 between 20 and 25,

01:38:59.560 26%,

01:39:00.720 depending on the poll.

01:39:03.000 So that looks like

01:39:04.200 a very tight race

01:39:05.240 where Chirac won

01:39:06.300 fairly handily

01:39:07.560 in the first round

01:39:08.840 of the other election

01:39:09.820 and then blew him out

01:39:11.520 in the second round.

01:39:12.600 This one,

01:39:13.200 it looks like Le Pen

01:39:13.880 might win the first round.

01:39:15.360 Now she's still 0.99

01:39:16.000 an underdog

01:39:16.700 to win the final election,

01:39:18.480 but I think the last poll

01:39:19.920 had the head-to-head

01:39:21.860 as a 16-point margin.

01:39:24.900 And that sounds

01:39:27.060 like a big margin.

01:39:27.900 However,

01:39:28.220 when it's only two candidates,

01:39:29.340 an eight-point swing

01:39:30.560 in either direction,

01:39:31.760 if a terrorist attack

01:39:34.140 tends to do things like that,

01:39:35.740 a terrorist attack happens,

01:39:36.760 that could easily switch

01:39:38.000 these people,

01:39:38.920 and she could be

01:39:39.440 the president of France.

01:39:41.000 Why don't these people

01:39:41.680 just do their elections right?

01:39:43.460 I think they are right,

01:39:44.620 honestly.

01:39:45.040 I think this is a better system.

01:39:46.180 Yeah, I think so too.

01:39:47.000 I think it's a better system

01:39:47.880 than what we have.

01:39:48.500 No, it is not.

01:39:49.500 I totally do.

01:39:50.460 The only thing I would say

01:39:51.780 is it should happen instantly.

01:39:53.020 The instant runoff voting,

01:39:54.180 I like it.

01:39:55.140 I think Maine just passed it,

01:39:56.440 by the way,

01:39:57.280 which is they have a big pool.

01:39:58.800 Everyone can vote

01:39:59.360 for whoever they want,

01:40:00.240 and then you prioritize

01:40:01.620 who you vote second.

01:40:02.920 So you can vote

01:40:03.580 for a third party if you want,

01:40:05.220 but if you're the first person,

01:40:06.400 you know what,

01:40:06.700 I think Gary Johnson

01:40:07.900 is the best president.

01:40:09.120 However, I don't think

01:40:09.860 he's going to win,

01:40:10.420 so my second choice

01:40:11.460 will be Donald Trump

01:40:12.060 because I don't want Hillary. 0.56

01:40:13.340 You could do that.

01:40:13.960 So if we're going to prioritize,

01:40:15.060 here's what I'm going to prioritize.

01:40:16.620 Toast first.

01:40:18.320 Yeah.

01:40:18.720 Bread second.

01:40:20.500 French toast, French bread.

01:40:22.840 What about fries?

01:40:24.680 Those aren't really French.

01:40:26.560 Then I would go to...

01:40:30.280 French in its name.

01:40:31.320 Their style.

01:40:33.200 Their style.

01:40:34.180 Style.

01:40:34.760 I'd go for their style,

01:40:36.060 and I'd go for their food.

01:40:37.620 What about the kissing?

01:40:38.920 That's a great one.

01:40:39.440 French kissing

01:40:40.140 is also very, very good.

01:40:42.920 I can't even put politics

01:40:44.620 on the way they elect

01:40:45.640 their president

01:40:46.300 in the top five.

01:40:47.300 I like the way

01:40:48.080 they elect their president.

01:40:48.800 They just elect 0.99

01:40:49.520 all crappy presidents. 0.99

01:40:52.340 They don't have 0.99

01:40:53.400 any small government options.

01:40:55.000 But that's because

01:40:55.460 of the French people.

01:40:56.860 Right.

01:40:57.260 But that's not the election process.

01:40:59.280 That's been gone a long time ago.

01:41:00.800 Right.

01:41:01.600 It would be nice

01:41:02.220 to be able to...

01:41:03.480 Because, I mean, look,

01:41:04.120 you go back to the election.

01:41:05.220 Everyone's like,

01:41:05.740 binary choice here.

01:41:07.620 The people that didn't like

01:41:08.780 Donald Trump

01:41:09.140 that voted for him anyway

01:41:09.940 just said,

01:41:10.360 look, I don't like him,

01:41:11.240 but it's him or Hillary,

01:41:12.420 and I don't want Hillary.

01:41:13.380 Well, in this system,

01:41:14.060 you'd be able to say,

01:41:14.780 I want whoever.

01:41:16.440 And then my second choice

01:41:17.360 is Trump.

01:41:18.160 So when your top choice

01:41:20.460 was eliminated

01:41:21.060 and did not finish

01:41:21.840 in the top two,

01:41:23.440 the vote would go to Trump

01:41:24.720 and you'd be able to get

01:41:25.460 exactly what you want.

01:41:26.800 Every single person

01:41:27.640 who wanted that thing 0.99

01:41:28.800 to happen,

01:41:29.300 where they wanted to vote

01:41:30.040 for their conscience

01:41:30.780 but didn't want to get

01:41:31.780 Hillary elected,

01:41:32.700 would have been able

01:41:33.280 to do that under this system.

01:41:34.540 All right.

01:41:34.660 Can we talk about

01:41:35.320 the one thing

01:41:35.900 that I think we really

01:41:36.700 need to talk about?

01:41:37.440 and that is

01:41:38.280 if you're a lesbian 0.69

01:41:41.180 and you like girls 0.80

01:41:45.240 but you don't like girls

01:41:47.840 and excuse me,

01:41:48.780 but I have to be technical here

01:41:50.160 because this is real science now.

01:41:53.020 If you don't like girls 0.99

01:41:54.700 with penises, 1.00

01:41:55.500 then you are a sysaphobe. 1.00

01:41:58.800 Hmm?

01:42:00.060 Huh?

01:42:01.360 You're what now?

01:42:02.760 Do you have that, Pat?

01:42:03.600 Do you have the audio?

01:42:04.440 Yeah.

01:42:04.760 This is very important.

01:42:06.120 This is very important.

01:42:07.020 From Riley Dennis?

01:42:08.160 Uh, a transphobe

01:42:09.660 or a sysaphobe,

01:42:10.660 which, um,

01:42:12.200 I just want him to explain it.

01:42:13.600 Okay.

01:42:13.840 Or her, I'm sorry.

01:42:14.440 Recently on the internet,

01:42:14.800 there's been a lot of discussion

01:42:15.840 around genital preferences

01:42:17.020 and transphobia.

01:42:18.120 In this video,

01:42:18.760 I'm going to use the word 0.66

01:42:19.620 cissexism instead of transphobia,

01:42:21.540 but they're really similar words.

01:42:22.800 At its most basic,

01:42:23.940 cissexism means prejudice

01:42:25.240 or discrimination

01:42:26.020 against transgender people. 1.00

01:42:27.280 So what's been happening

01:42:28.020 is that some people

01:42:28.860 are making the argument

01:42:29.640 that it's not cissexist at all

01:42:31.360 to only be attracted to people

01:42:32.780 with one kind of genitals. 1.00

01:42:34.140 For example,

01:42:34.780 these people might argue

01:42:35.660 that being attracted 0.99

01:42:36.380 to only women with vaginas 1.00

01:42:37.840 in no way negatively 0.96

01:42:38.980 affects trans people.

01:42:40.020 On the other hand,

01:42:40.660 I would argue

01:42:41.120 that it's more complicated

01:42:42.020 than that.

01:42:42.580 We all have our implicit biases

01:42:43.940 built into our preferences

01:42:45.060 and gender isn't as simple

01:42:46.420 as just the genitals you have. 1.00

01:42:47.900 But after I say that, 0.99

01:42:48.800 I usually get a bunch

01:42:49.860 of blatantly cissexist responses.

01:42:51.800 So I thought I'd address

01:42:52.560 all of those responses

01:42:53.540 at once.

01:42:54.040 Isn't that amazing?

01:42:55.600 Okay, so if you believe 1.00

01:42:57.520 that a woman with a penis 1.00

01:43:00.440 is a man, 1.00

01:43:02.520 you're cissexist. 0.98

01:43:03.100 No, that's not what he said.

01:43:04.760 If you are not attracted...

01:43:07.100 Yeah, you even have

01:43:07.780 to be attracted to that.

01:43:08.440 You have to be attracted.

01:43:09.680 That is true.

01:43:09.760 If you're not attracted 1.00

01:43:11.080 to a woman with a penis, 1.00

01:43:13.180 you are transphobic 1.00

01:43:14.260 or cisphobic. 0.97

01:43:16.380 This is nuts. 0.64

01:43:17.240 Number one, 0.99

01:43:17.740 you're being homophobic. 0.92

01:43:18.600 In this argument,

01:43:19.380 I often get accused

01:43:20.200 of homophobia,

01:43:21.100 lesbophobia,

01:43:21.620 or lesbian erasure 0.77

01:43:22.640 by lesbians who believe 0.98

01:43:23.860 that I'm trying to change... 0.94

01:43:25.000 Or lesbian erasure? 0.90

01:43:26.500 What would lesbian erasure be, Jeffy? 0.94

01:43:28.660 I'm not sure, actually.

01:43:29.880 Can you look it up?

01:43:30.600 Really?

01:43:30.940 Even you don't know

01:43:31.820 what that is?

01:43:32.820 Check on that

01:43:33.640 while we hear the rest of this.

01:43:34.660 Sexual orientation. 0.59

01:43:35.440 Is it a lesbian version 1.00

01:43:36.640 of the band erasure?

01:43:38.580 Is that possible?

01:43:39.760 They have a cover band

01:43:41.920 that are all lesbians? 1.00

01:43:43.080 I don't know. 0.56

01:43:43.200 It sounds a lot like a dude

01:43:44.960 who tried to turn... 0.89

01:43:46.060 When you say lesbians, 0.70

01:43:48.240 do you mean women 1.00

01:43:50.040 with a vagina? 1.00

01:43:52.080 And not women 1.00

01:43:53.080 with a penis? 1.00

01:43:55.420 I don't have 1.00

01:43:57.760 a strong stance on that.

01:44:00.740 ...and them straight

01:44:01.580 or like conversion therapy.

01:44:02.860 Those responses

01:44:03.440 are rooted in cis-sexism.

01:44:04.780 This is because

01:44:05.220 I'm not telling lesbians 0.97

01:44:06.300 that they can't be lesbians. 0.92

01:44:07.500 If you're a woman 0.83

01:44:07.980 who only likes women,

01:44:08.940 go ahead,

01:44:09.580 identify as a lesbian. 1.00

01:44:10.560 But some women have penises 1.00

01:44:11.780 and if the fact is 1.00

01:44:12.720 some lesbians might be... 1.00

01:44:13.900 No, they don't.

01:44:14.420 No, I'm sorry.

01:44:15.140 No, they don't.

01:44:16.080 They don't.

01:44:16.680 No, they don't.

01:44:17.620 Because by definition,

01:44:18.820 then, they're not a woman. 1.00

01:44:20.080 Okay, so remember

01:44:21.200 what Paulina told me

01:44:22.420 when we were in Poland

01:44:23.880 and...

01:44:24.740 Just don't go off the cliff

01:44:25.740 with the rest of the world.

01:44:26.280 She said,

01:44:27.020 the righteous

01:44:27.460 didn't suddenly become righteous.

01:44:28.840 They just refused

01:44:29.540 to go over the cliff

01:44:30.280 with the rest of humanity.

01:44:31.460 Yeah.

01:44:31.780 I think this is one of those things

01:44:33.200 where I draw the line.

01:44:34.220 We are right there.

01:44:35.320 Yes. 1.00

01:44:35.540 A woman has a vagina. 1.00

01:44:37.720 Yes. 1.00

01:44:37.960 A man has a penis. 1.00

01:44:39.640 A woman cannot have a penis. 1.00

01:44:42.120 I'm sorry. 1.00

01:44:43.140 Take a look. 1.00

01:44:44.000 You don't have a penis. 1.00

01:44:44.540 Just look at this 1.00

01:44:45.500 what I have on my computer

01:44:46.540 right here.

01:44:47.340 No, I don't know.

01:44:48.400 That's not a woman. 1.00

01:44:50.180 That's not a woman. 1.00

01:44:51.160 We'll talk about that off the air.

01:44:52.180 Please don't get any screenshots

01:44:53.180 of his computer.

01:44:53.960 I don't really.

01:44:55.760 It is.

01:44:56.500 It's...

01:44:57.660 It feels like

01:44:59.560 we're just talking

01:45:00.480 about two different things.

01:45:01.880 It is.

01:45:02.120 It does.

01:45:03.160 I get stuck at this

01:45:04.100 every single time

01:45:04.620 we have this conversation.

01:45:05.500 It's like,

01:45:05.680 they are discussing something

01:45:07.000 that we're not discussing.

01:45:08.000 I don't know.

01:45:11.020 That is every child

01:45:12.580 that's born,

01:45:13.200 you get a birth certificate

01:45:14.080 that says,

01:45:15.320 right then,

01:45:16.460 male or female.

01:45:18.240 And you can say,

01:45:19.800 there might be some...

01:45:20.760 Gender identity

01:45:21.900 can be something else,

01:45:22.980 I guess.

01:45:23.640 You could say...

01:45:24.480 But that's a different category.

01:45:25.900 It's a different conversation,

01:45:26.740 a different topic.

01:45:27.400 You might feel like a gerbil one day.

01:45:28.800 That doesn't make you a gerbil.

01:45:30.920 That's not how that works.

01:45:31.900 It doesn't work like that.

01:45:33.500 You can feel like a woman 1.00

01:45:34.540 if you want to,

01:45:35.280 but if you've got the man unit,

01:45:37.200 you're a man.

01:45:38.000 Okay?

01:45:38.460 You got a hoo-ha, 1.00

01:45:39.340 you're a woman.

01:45:40.640 And that's all there is to it.

01:45:42.260 Quite honestly,

01:45:43.180 if you cut it off

01:45:45.720 and tuck it in,

01:45:47.600 your chromosome still says,

01:45:51.320 your genes still tell scientists.

01:45:54.780 If you have the surgery,

01:45:56.440 I mean,

01:45:56.760 there's a discussion there,

01:45:58.200 right?

01:45:58.840 Yes.

01:45:59.720 At least you're committed.

01:46:01.400 Yeah.

01:46:01.680 Come on.

01:46:02.540 Because that's a lot.

01:46:03.240 That's a lot to ask.

01:46:04.200 That is a lot.

01:46:04.880 Come on.

01:46:05.280 Every woman in the world

01:46:07.540 would go to the doctor immediately

01:46:10.500 if she opens up her pants one day 1.00

01:46:13.140 and that's hanging there.

01:46:14.340 She's like,

01:46:14.800 oh my God,

01:46:15.620 what is that?

01:46:17.100 Going to the doctor.

01:46:18.060 There's a problem.

01:46:18.780 She doesn't go like,

01:46:19.680 what?

01:46:20.000 Some women have that. 1.00

01:46:21.700 She doesn't do that. 1.00

01:46:23.240 They don't.

01:46:24.000 No,

01:46:24.460 they don't.

01:46:25.920 Yeah.

01:46:26.460 And it's,

01:46:27.060 I don't know.

01:46:27.400 Everything's in a matter of fact way.

01:46:29.080 Like,

01:46:29.340 this has always been the way.

01:46:30.780 I know.

01:46:31.160 This has always been the thing.

01:46:33.240 They're creating an entirely new language.

01:46:36.540 Yeah.

01:46:36.800 There's an entirely new language.

01:46:38.940 Yeah,

01:46:39.060 this cis thing,

01:46:39.220 C-I-S, 1.00

01:46:40.340 it starts,

01:46:41.200 every word involving gender,

01:46:43.820 it begins with cis or whatever.

01:46:45.740 I mean,

01:46:46.040 it's,

01:46:46.340 and that's,

01:46:46.900 what,

01:46:47.460 a male who's a male 0.90

01:46:48.440 and attracted to women,

01:46:50.120 right?

01:46:50.600 I don't know.

01:46:51.200 I guess.

01:46:52.600 I don't know.

01:46:53.480 Has male,

01:46:54.220 a man unit

01:46:54.900 and is attracted to women.

01:46:55.980 It's like the traditional way 0.89

01:46:58.660 that people thought about it

01:47:00.140 in this scary old times

01:47:01.380 when they didn't understand

01:47:02.340 what she was,

01:47:02.960 she was talking about.

01:47:04.720 Like that,

01:47:05.420 those old things.

01:47:06.100 I was gonna,

01:47:06.620 I can't say. 0.97

01:47:08.020 Lesbian erasure, 0.99

01:47:09.420 by the way. 0.98

01:47:10.640 Yeah, 0.99

01:47:10.880 trans bashing.

01:47:12.280 Is that what it is?

01:47:13.340 I think so.

01:47:14.280 By lesbians? 1.00

01:47:16.580 That's interesting.

01:47:17.760 Yeah,

01:47:18.120 there's been,

01:47:18.900 there's been a real hostility,

01:47:20.600 I guess,

01:47:21.140 between lesbians 0.60

01:47:22.980 and transgender

01:47:24.920 because they say, 0.97

01:47:27.540 because lesbians say, 1.00

01:47:28.700 you're not real women. 1.00

01:47:30.840 And so there is this hostility 0.83

01:47:32.440 between lesbians, 1.00

01:47:34.520 women, 1.00

01:47:34.860 who are bashing

01:47:37.900 and saying to transgendered women

01:47:41.460 that they're not women.

01:47:42.840 So there's a fight in between.

01:47:44.440 Quit horning it on our property.

01:47:45.640 Can I tell you something?

01:47:46.320 That's our territory.

01:47:47.020 There is,

01:47:47.360 there is something to be said

01:47:48.460 for the weightlifter,

01:47:50.080 the guy weightlifter.

01:47:51.660 Sports may actually end this nonsense.

01:47:53.840 That's what I'm thinking too.

01:47:54.920 The girl,

01:47:55.440 where was that?

01:47:56.560 Where the,

01:47:57.040 the women's weightlifting champion 0.84

01:47:59.000 just went to a guy

01:48:00.600 who said,

01:48:00.980 She beat the, 0.84

01:48:01.500 the runner up by 45 pounds.

01:48:03.900 Yeah.

01:48:04.420 New Zealand.

01:48:05.340 Right.

01:48:05.840 And all the women are going, 1.00

01:48:07.600 it's a dude.

01:48:08.700 Weightlifter.

01:48:09.200 Oh no,

01:48:09.580 no.

01:48:10.460 Are you transphobic?

01:48:12.560 Everyone's super progressive

01:48:13.680 until they're in a competition

01:48:14.800 against a guy.

01:48:15.580 Yeah.

01:48:15.820 Yeah.

01:48:16.260 And then they're like,

01:48:16.960 no,

01:48:17.400 he can't compete.

01:48:18.280 Why not?

01:48:19.080 It may actually be sports

01:48:21.180 that,

01:48:22.460 that ends this nonsense.

01:48:23.880 And again,

01:48:24.840 like I don't see how you can argue

01:48:26.360 to have a separation.

01:48:28.600 I mean,

01:48:28.800 why is there a WNBA? 1.00

01:48:30.560 Let the women come in 1.00

01:48:31.680 and play against the NBA players

01:48:33.240 and see how they do.

01:48:34.280 If they can outperform them,

01:48:35.460 they'll let them all play together.

01:48:36.780 Right.

01:48:36.940 And you know what's going to happen?

01:48:37.700 There's going to be no women playing. 1.00

01:48:39.540 That's what's going to happen. 0.98

01:48:40.400 It's like white people 1.00

01:48:43.740 on the basketball court.

01:48:46.280 Yeah,

01:48:46.460 very few.

01:48:46.980 Let the best players play.

01:48:50.040 Right now, 0.96

01:48:50.420 it happens to be black people 0.81

01:48:51.700 that are playing better basketball 0.99

01:48:53.080 than white people. 0.98

01:48:54.420 Okay,

01:48:55.080 good.

01:48:55.680 The market has decided that.

01:48:57.320 Right.

01:48:57.660 Let the best players play.

01:49:00.600 I mean,

01:49:00.860 it's just,

01:49:01.380 it's crazy.

01:49:02.920 I mean,

01:49:03.140 you live in a,

01:49:04.100 you live in a country

01:49:05.540 where it's 76% white people

01:49:07.920 and 87%,

01:49:09.820 I think,

01:49:10.220 of the NBA

01:49:10.660 is African American.

01:49:12.720 That's probably true.

01:49:13.740 You know,

01:49:14.180 and most of the people

01:49:15.200 who are white

01:49:15.700 are from like Germany.

01:49:17.400 Well,

01:49:17.660 when we come,

01:49:18.940 but the point,

01:49:20.480 but like that's,

01:49:22.660 the market's saying

01:49:23.600 one group of people

01:49:24.600 somehow,

01:49:25.160 whatever,

01:49:25.400 for whatever reason,

01:49:26.120 has outperformed another group

01:49:27.640 and you should,

01:49:29.020 that's okay.

01:49:29.600 That's okay.

01:49:30.320 When we come back,

01:49:31.060 we'll tell you about the prom dates

01:49:32.340 that are randomly assigned

01:49:33.780 by a lottery

01:49:34.880 at a school

01:49:36.360 so nobody is left out.

01:49:38.900 Nice.

01:49:39.220 We'll give you that.

01:49:40.340 And now this,

01:49:41.600 have you ever wondered

01:49:42.300 what outrageous comfort is?

01:49:44.660 Sleep a few nights

01:49:45.820 on a Casper mattress

01:49:46.920 and you'll know.

01:49:48.160 Casper mattress

01:49:48.880 is the perfect mattress

01:49:50.040 engineered for a great night's sleep.

01:49:52.180 Really engineered.

01:49:53.400 Are you actually outraged

01:49:54.840 by the comfort?

01:49:55.580 Like you wake up

01:49:56.180 in the middle of the night

01:49:56.640 pissed off at your bed

01:49:57.940 because you're too comfortable?

01:49:59.180 No,

01:49:59.360 that doesn't mean outrageous.

01:50:00.520 Like I'm outraged.

01:50:01.620 You're just pissed off.

01:50:02.920 No.

01:50:03.320 You know what?

01:50:03.720 How dare you bed? 0.94

01:50:05.220 This is too comfortable.

01:50:06.380 I don't want to get up.

01:50:08.260 You have those moments?

01:50:09.060 Well,

01:50:09.280 actually I am

01:50:10.180 but I'm not screaming

01:50:10.860 at the bed.

01:50:12.040 I'm screaming

01:50:12.640 at the alarm clock

01:50:13.500 or my wife

01:50:14.260 who is nudging me.

01:50:15.880 It ships free

01:50:51.300 Mercury.

01:50:51.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:57.240 I mean, I could tell you

01:50:58.800 about the prom dates

01:50:59.560 that are randomly assigned

01:51:00.520 by lottery

01:51:01.120 so nobody gets left out.

01:51:03.020 I could tell you

01:51:03.420 about that story

01:51:03.980 but really,

01:51:04.520 the headline says it all.

01:51:06.020 We've only got a couple

01:51:06.840 of minutes here

01:51:07.360 before we go for the weekend.

01:51:09.240 Anything that we have left

01:51:10.440 that we haven't gotten to

01:51:11.940 that we said we were going to.

01:51:13.360 Dr. Masilowski.

01:51:14.420 A request did come in

01:51:17.780 about an hour ago

01:51:18.560 from Stu

01:51:19.520 for this famous Al Gore clip

01:51:22.280 and Pat's take on it.

01:51:24.280 And some of the models

01:51:26.800 suggest to Dr. Masilowski

01:51:30.560 that there is a 75% chance

01:51:33.180 that the entire

01:51:36.760 North Polar ice cap

01:51:39.240 during some of the summer months

01:51:42.920 could be completely ice-free

01:51:45.420 within the next

01:51:46.560 five to seven years.

01:51:47.960 Okay, now that was given

01:51:48.780 about ten years ago.

01:51:51.180 So was Masilowski

01:51:52.980 really wrong?

01:51:54.040 Because he gave the impression

01:51:57.120 in some of his studies

01:52:00.180 that during some

01:52:02.160 of the summer months

01:52:03.300 75% could

01:52:05.380 but not necessarily will.

01:52:08.580 So he was exactly right.

01:52:09.960 This is

01:52:12.140 the Glenn Beck Program.
