The Glenn Beck Program - 3⧸27⧸17 - Full Show

00:00:00.740 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:00:04.760 Wow, there is so much to get into today.

00:00:08.000 Bill Maher has become Christianity's unlikely defender.

00:00:12.040 I don't know if you heard what he said this weekend.

00:00:14.580 Uma Avedine is working hard on her marriage.

00:00:18.600 What?

00:00:19.860 What?

00:00:21.400 They apparently are still living together.

00:00:23.940 She's working hard on her marriage after being burned by him four separate times,

00:00:28.620 because apparently when things get troublesome, he moves back in with his mom.

00:00:34.080 It's an incredible story.

00:00:35.820 You're also 10 human body modifications you can begin to expect in the next decade.

00:00:43.580 You won't believe this story.

00:00:46.120 Also, another story that kind of relates to it.

00:00:48.160 Silicon Valley would rather cure death than make life worth living.

00:00:51.940 The people who are diehard trying to eliminate all death in Silicon Valley.

00:01:00.100 When it comes to politics, Steve Bannon thought he could bully the Republicans on health care.

00:01:05.120 He couldn't.

00:01:06.340 But now what happens?

00:01:08.280 Donald Trump said it was the Freedom Caucus that stopped it,

00:01:12.280 but the Freedom Caucus only had 15 members vote against it.

00:01:16.000 The Republicans had 18 members vote against it.

00:01:19.820 Whose fault was it?

00:01:22.320 And the president is now saying that he's going to be moving left towards the Democrats.

00:01:30.440 Gee, who would have seen that one coming?

00:01:34.200 That and so much more begins right now.

00:01:36.400 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:59.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:02.520 We have to shore up our principles and know where we stand on things.

00:02:10.500 And I want to talk to you a little bit about that today.

00:02:12.340 I want to go over something with Ted Koppel because he's blaming,

00:02:18.300 well, as Hannity will point out, he's blaming Hannity for culture.

00:02:22.980 But Ted Koppel is also blaming something else for what's happening in our world.

00:02:28.540 And I believe he's wrong.

00:02:30.580 And I want to have a discussion on this.

00:02:33.440 And we have to decide what our principles are because our principles are under attack.

00:02:39.820 You heard an interview with Ted Poe today saying again that it was the conservatives that blew Obamacare, right?

00:02:48.060 Ted Poe is a congressman from Houston and has always been very conservative.

00:02:53.620 And up until today, a member of the Freedom Caucus.

00:02:56.700 But he has withdrawn his membership because he's upset that people said no.

00:03:02.820 But they had a right to vote the other way in the Freedom Caucus.

00:03:06.620 You didn't have to toe the line.

00:03:07.960 The Freedom Caucus said, we understand if you need to go the other direction, go the other direction.

00:03:12.700 And again, and obviously there was not actually a vote held, but Poe was going to vote yes on the bill.

00:03:18.640 And, you know, he said that we just can't be a party of no.

00:03:22.500 We can't be a party who just disagrees just because we disagree.

00:03:26.640 Here's the thing.

00:03:27.320 Jeez.

00:03:27.440 That sounds like John McCain.

00:03:28.600 Yeah, it does.

00:03:29.200 Here is what I really believe we have to state over and over again for anyone who wants to blame the Freedom Caucus or anybody else.

00:03:42.160 There was a bill to repeal health care.

00:03:46.480 It passed the House 60, 6-0, 60 times.

00:03:55.180 60.

00:03:58.660 Why did they not use the bill that went through the House 60 times?

00:04:06.000 Reason?

00:04:07.480 They didn't mean it.

00:04:08.900 Some people meant it.

00:04:12.940 You meant it.

00:04:14.700 But when we said, they don't mean this.

00:04:17.900 Get away from the Republicans.

00:04:19.540 They don't mean this.

00:04:20.280 They're lying to you.

00:04:21.740 What was said?

00:04:23.480 We were traitors.

00:04:24.780 We were sellouts.

00:04:26.040 We were whatever.

00:04:28.440 If that were true, we would have been wrong.

00:04:32.880 Because they would have taken the bill that they had passed 60 times while they were asking for your vote and support.

00:04:42.380 And they would have reintroduced that bill and passed it again.

00:04:46.240 Because I don't need to say this again, but may I?

00:04:50.180 They'd already passed that bill 60 times.

00:04:54.140 The only reason they passed it is because they were lying to you about what they really believed. 0.99

00:05:03.280 They are cowards. 0.88

00:05:05.960 They pass it when they know it won't go to the president for his signature. 0.98

00:05:10.300 Because they're all too afraid to reverse free stuff that Obama gave them.

00:05:19.560 Obama gave the country free stuff.

00:05:22.160 And nobody has the courage to say, I know.

00:05:26.500 But this free stuff isn't really free.

00:05:30.540 And it's going to cripple you. 0.78

00:05:32.420 It's going to cripple our system.

00:05:34.680 And it's not going to last.

00:05:37.940 It can't last.

00:05:39.840 They're afraid to do that.

00:05:42.360 And so, we were right about the Republicans.

00:05:46.200 60 times they repealed it.

00:05:49.500 When they really could do it, they fail.

00:05:53.800 And then the other thing we're right about is now,

00:05:57.900 and I'm taking this from the Drudge Report,

00:06:00.100 which is pro-Donald Trump.

00:06:03.360 This was the headline.

00:06:05.840 Donald Trump looks to the left and looks to the Democrats for support.

00:06:12.040 He's going to, and he tweeted it on Friday,

00:06:15.680 he's disgusted by the conservatives in the House.

00:06:20.020 And he's moving away from the conservatives,

00:06:22.320 and he's going to look for the Democrats.

00:06:25.480 Well, what are you going to get if you are now bringing the Democrats on board

00:06:29.420 and leaving the constitutionalists out?

00:06:31.980 So, imagine if they had gone about this in a different way.

00:06:35.080 Think of the alternate reality.

00:06:36.560 They come out day one and pass the same bill they passed 60 times.

00:06:41.100 Yep.

00:06:41.440 Okay?

00:06:41.880 Goes to the Senate.

00:06:42.500 There are some procedural hurdles that could have been difficult.

00:06:45.400 But let's say that gets through.

00:06:48.120 Maybe it's good, but maybe it stops there.

00:06:49.940 Maybe the president vetoes it because, you know,

00:06:51.980 the president ran on a lot of big promises on keeping everybody's health care

00:06:55.960 and pre-existing conditions and a lot of things that would have gone away with a full repeal.

00:06:59.420 So, he may have vetoed it.

00:07:00.880 However, at that point, you probably can come back to conservatives and say,

00:07:05.440 look, we tried.

00:07:06.440 We tried.

00:07:06.980 We did what we said we were going to do.

00:07:08.640 Yep.

00:07:08.940 And you know what?

00:07:09.560 We can't get what we wanted.

00:07:12.100 However, let's look for something that is better than what we have.

00:07:15.840 Yep.

00:07:16.000 And I think a lot of conservatives would have been open to that.

00:07:18.720 I would have been.

00:07:19.660 They tried.

00:07:20.620 At least they tried.

00:07:22.200 And you can't control everybody's vote in Congress, as we've seen.

00:07:26.960 Instead, they started with a terrible bill that I would be really uncomfortable going with

00:07:33.680 even as a compromise.

00:07:36.480 And they started there.

00:07:39.000 Then they gave a couple of concessions to conservatives very late in the process

00:07:43.640 and couldn't get it through.

00:07:46.120 And nobody really made the case for this bill.

00:07:48.060 And no one made the case.

00:07:48.820 They didn't do it openly.

00:07:51.040 They didn't explain the process well.

00:07:53.240 It was a terrible job.

00:07:54.440 And then Trump, I mean, look, Trump comes out with this tweet about the Freedom Caucus

00:07:58.120 where he says, well, they must let you know.

00:08:00.420 I don't remember.

00:08:00.880 Do you have the quote in front of you, Jeffy, by any chance?

00:08:02.780 The Trump Planned Parenthood tweet basically says, oh, well, I guess the Freedom Caucus likes

00:08:06.860 Planned Parenthood.

00:08:08.100 I don't know if Donald Trump doesn't know the bill because every report this weekend said

00:08:12.220 he was in meetings with these people who care about the details of this bill

00:08:16.000 and says, don't sweat the small, he didn't say stuff.

00:08:20.380 Don't worry about the, don't tell me about the small stuff.

00:08:23.120 All he wanted was a win.

00:08:24.300 He knew nothing about this bill.

00:08:26.000 In fact, it does seem that he had absolutely no awareness

00:08:29.940 that the Planned Parenthood funding was only going away for one year.

00:08:36.540 One year.

00:08:37.680 This bill that was supposed to be this wonderful thing that Planned Parenthood was taking away,

00:08:42.720 was going to lose their funding one year, and a simple restructuring of their organization

00:08:48.040 even gets rid of the one year of the lack of funding.

00:08:51.060 Well, Stu, nobody said it was a perfect bill.

00:08:52.680 Nobody said it was perfect.

00:08:53.960 You can't get a perfect bill.

00:08:55.340 If you're waiting for a perfect bill, you're going to wait a long time.

00:08:57.620 This is why we gave them the House, the Senate, and the White House.

00:09:02.300 And the executive branch.

00:09:03.600 You don't get a perfect, we'll never get a perfect bill.

00:09:05.860 You're right.

00:09:06.360 You have to compromise.

00:09:07.780 But we don't need to be eating turd burgers all the time.

00:09:10.820 Yeah.

00:09:11.160 You know, this is so far.

00:09:12.480 From our side.

00:09:12.820 They're preparing us these turds and putting them between two pieces of bread

00:09:17.260 and telling us it's not perfect.

00:09:19.320 Could you at least remove the turd?

00:09:22.000 Give me some peanut butter and jelly or salt, a ham.

00:09:25.200 I don't know, maybe some cheese.

00:09:27.200 That wouldn't be perfect either.

00:09:29.740 Steak would be perfect.

00:09:31.340 But I'll take the ham and cheese. 0.94

00:09:33.520 It's so ridiculous what they're trying to jam down our throats here. 0.97

00:09:37.780 And we're used to this from the Democrats. 0.99

00:09:40.000 Yes, we are.

00:09:40.540 But we're just seeing that it's Republicans too.

00:09:42.940 We're getting it from both sides.

00:09:44.220 Yeah, this is why, this is why, I mean, this week I'm repointing the cornerstones of the blaze

00:09:54.180 and of us at Mercury as well.

00:09:57.980 Because we have to know what we stand for.

00:10:02.080 And I won't go with straw arguments anymore.

00:10:05.460 No more straw man arguments.

00:10:06.560 I want to hear both sides.

00:10:09.280 I want to hear the best ideas from both sides.

00:10:13.600 I don't want to hear the, I want to be about the principles and the actual facts.

00:10:22.580 If you get off the actual facts, I don't care.

00:10:26.500 I don't want to be about an ideology.

00:10:29.260 I want to be about the actual facts.

00:10:32.800 Come what may, can we do that as a people?

00:10:36.620 Can we get anybody to join us on that as a people?

00:10:42.300 I mean, I tweeted on Friday, I had a tweet storm about this movie, The Promise.

00:10:50.140 And I asked to see the movie and get a screening of The Promise.

00:10:54.760 And so I watched it on Friday.

00:10:56.340 It comes out April 21st, I think, nationwide.

00:11:00.040 And it is about the Armenian genocide.

00:11:03.200 The Armenian genocide is near and dear to my heart because Turkey continues to deny it.

00:11:11.060 It's over, it's 102 years ago.

00:11:13.280 It is the reason why we have the word genocide.

00:11:17.840 Genocide was coined for that.

00:11:22.100 Hitler said early on, I can get away with anything. 0.98

00:11:26.900 Look, the Christian world didn't care about the Christians in Armenia.

00:11:31.360 They think they're going to care about the Jews? 1.00

00:11:33.200 Because the Turks continue to deny the reality that Turkey slaughtered 1.5 million people, 0.91

00:11:45.300 took them out and just slaughtered them.

00:11:48.940 We have all the evidence. 0.94

00:11:50.540 There's no mistake that that happened.

00:11:54.920 Charlton, not Charlton Heston, I'm sorry.

00:11:56.900 Clark Gable was supposed to be in a movie made by MGM back in the 1940s.

00:12:02.600 And they were going to do the Armenian genocide, which is 1.5 million Christians.

00:12:09.540 And Turkey raised their hand and said, if you do that, MGM, you will never have another movie from MGM ever in Turkey.

00:12:19.560 And we are going to influence the Middle East.

00:12:22.300 You will have no impact at all.

00:12:25.280 No footprint.

00:12:26.140 And they cared about that in the 40s?

00:12:27.940 Believe it or not, they cared about it.

00:12:29.620 That's unbelievable.

00:12:30.580 So they stopped making it.

00:12:31.940 And it has been under the thumb of Turkey the whole time.

00:12:35.440 What, did like 80 cents come from Turkey in those days?

00:12:38.460 I know.

00:12:38.600 That's nothing.

00:12:40.160 Wow.

00:12:40.880 So they didn't want to boycott from Turkey and Turkey gathering up a bunch of other people.

00:12:46.040 The guy who bought MGM and died, I think, 2006, he bought MGM like four different times.

00:12:55.180 Bought and sold, bought and sold, bought and sold.

00:12:56.520 He made a lot of money.

00:12:57.860 He took $100 million and he said, we're making this movie called The Promise.

00:13:03.700 Now he's died since.

00:13:05.680 But Christian Bale is in this movie.

00:13:07.980 I saw it.

00:13:08.540 It's really good.

00:13:10.840 And it tells the truth about Turkey. 0.98

00:13:15.740 How can we possibly trust Turkey as an ally if they continue to lie about genocide that happened 102 years ago?

00:13:27.240 Can't.

00:13:28.000 You can't.

00:13:28.560 We certainly wouldn't accept it from Germany. 1.00

00:13:30.500 We wouldn't.

00:13:31.280 Right.

00:13:31.740 If you're a Holocaust denier, it's the worst thing you can be called.

00:13:36.100 It wouldn't be in NATO if they were denying the Holocaust. 0.88

00:13:39.840 Wouldn't.

00:13:40.900 These guys are Holocaust deniers.

00:13:43.260 They do actually deny the Holocaust, but they are also denying their own Holocaust of genocide. 0.73

00:13:50.400 So I tweeted out, you wouldn't believe the number of people that tried to make that somehow or another about Trump.

00:14:00.120 What?

00:14:00.940 Yeah.

00:14:01.180 What?

00:14:01.640 Yeah.

00:14:02.360 You wouldn't believe the number of people that found a way to make that about.

00:14:09.520 How is that about Trump?

00:14:12.320 That's crazy.

00:14:13.420 You read the tweet.

00:14:14.320 People are just obsessed.

00:14:15.080 They're just obsessed with if I'm for it, then it must be nothing because I was against Trump, whatever.

00:14:26.060 I've had my fill of this.

00:14:27.900 I think America has had its fill of this.

00:14:32.460 I don't care.

00:14:34.240 I really don't care if it comes from the left or the right, as long as it's true.

00:14:41.080 If it's true, we will stand in the truth.

00:14:45.380 Period.

00:14:46.440 Now, I don't see real truth coming from people who will deny gender.

00:14:53.760 Have you seen that now the first driver's license has come out of gender neutral?

00:14:59.820 Now, let's just talk about this.

00:15:04.360 If you're decapitated, I mean, your hands are cut off, so we don't have your fingerprints or anything else.

00:15:10.560 How do we identify somebody?

00:15:14.220 A guy is missing?

00:15:16.300 Well, no, he wasn't a guy.

00:15:17.420 He was neither.

00:15:18.060 Well, I've got this body without any markings.

00:15:20.960 He's got male parts.

00:15:22.380 Was it a female or a male?

00:15:23.860 Because it might be him.

00:15:24.760 I don't know.

00:15:26.220 He was neither.

00:15:26.960 Well, those bodies don't show up, do they?

00:15:32.300 We're denying Planned Parenthood.

00:15:36.320 They're walking through and jumping through hoops to tell you now that that's not a baby

00:15:41.820 when all of science will tell you that's a baby.

00:15:46.780 All science tells you.

00:15:48.500 It's not a shoehorn growing.

00:15:50.580 It's not a unicorn growing.

00:15:52.700 You're not going to have broccoli or a calf.

00:15:55.600 There is only one thing that grows in a woman's uterus. 1.00

00:16:00.860 Two.

00:16:01.440 A tumor which doesn't have a heartbeat or a baby.

00:16:06.180 Anything else, a denial that that is anything other than a tumor or a baby is a science denier.

00:16:16.560 I refuse to be a science denier.

00:16:19.480 I refuse to be a denier of facts.

00:16:22.780 Let us have honest, intellectual, rigorous discussions.

00:16:28.640 And if you don't want to be a part of that, then you should ask yourself first, why?

00:16:38.120 A quick update, Obama, during the campaign.

00:16:40.480 I will recognize as president the Armenian genocide.

00:16:43.900 Two terms, no recognition.

00:16:45.740 Nope.

00:16:46.060 Nobody does.

00:16:47.280 Nobody will.

00:16:48.560 Turkey's too important. 0.99

00:16:49.600 No one is more important than the truth.

00:16:53.980 You're listening.

00:16:55.160 You're listening.

00:16:56.580 To the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:59.140 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:04.600 Mercury.

00:17:11.340 Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at glennbeck.com.

00:17:15.480 So, in a report from Mike Allen, sources said that Steve Bannon's first words to the Republican

00:17:24.460 members was that they had, quote, no choice but to vote for the health care bill of President

00:17:31.460 Donald Trump.

00:17:32.780 Quote, guys, look, this is not a discussion.

00:17:36.000 This is not a debate.

00:17:37.020 You have no choice but to vote for this bill, end quote.

00:17:41.040 Wow.

00:17:41.560 A lot of people didn't take kindly to that.

00:17:44.920 No?

00:17:45.480 You don't think an elected representative of the United States government is going to

00:17:49.040 go in there and just, you know, bend over like a Breitbart editor for Steve Bannon?

00:17:53.820 That's surprising. 0.93

00:17:54.560 Now, Steve Bannon apparently has told the president to keep a crap list, I'm cleaning that up, of 0.97

00:18:01.700 people that voted against it. 0.97

00:18:03.180 Oh, good.

00:18:03.580 Just like Barack Obama.

00:18:05.660 Yeah.

00:18:06.280 And Nixon.

00:18:07.220 That's great.

00:18:08.100 And Nixon.

00:18:08.800 An enemies list.

00:18:11.120 It's probably worth noting who held firm in this.

00:18:14.640 It is.

00:18:15.020 Who's on this list?

00:18:16.360 There's some great people on that list of guys who just said, no, because this is not

00:18:20.940 good.

00:18:21.560 Badge of honor.

00:18:21.860 It's not a good bill.

00:18:22.980 Yeah.

00:18:23.180 And by the way, it was not, again, as we pointed out, 15 conservatives, Freedom Caucus

00:18:27.940 members, 18 non-Freedom Caucus Republicans.

00:18:32.460 Okay.

00:18:33.260 So it was actually more people who were not in the Freedom Caucus, even though that's what

00:18:36.740 you're going to hear about all day today.

00:18:38.380 But good names.

00:18:39.300 I mean, Dave Bratt, Jim Jordan, Justin Amash, Louie Gohmert, Mark Meadows.

00:18:43.800 Louie Gohmert, always there.

00:18:44.620 Mo Brooks, who still has my favorite interview moment of all time.

00:18:48.100 Yeah, we should play that.

00:18:48.800 That's the one where he says, they said, what are you, do you have a degree in economics?

00:18:55.480 Yes.

00:18:56.260 With honors.

00:18:57.200 Highest honors, yes.

00:18:58.780 Thomas Massey's in there as well.

00:19:01.020 I mean, there's a great group of people.

00:19:03.520 There are some.

00:19:04.180 We have to remember, there are some holding the line, and that's good.

00:19:06.860 And we need to support them, because they are now on a White House enemies list.

00:19:13.440 Support those that stood up and had real backbone.

00:19:19.580 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:22.400 Mercury.

00:19:26.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:28.980 We were looking at reverting into a depression at that point.

00:19:33.400 Everyone, the Fed chairman.

00:19:34.100 Well, I disagree that we were going into a depression, but go ahead.

00:19:36.560 Do you have a degree in economics?

00:19:38.640 Yes, ma'am, I do.

00:19:39.640 Highest honors.

00:19:40.680 Okay, so.

00:19:42.180 I love that.

00:19:43.380 One of my favorite moments of all time.

00:19:45.220 Yeah, you don't ask questions unless you know the answer to the question there.

00:19:48.820 Which is exactly what she tweeted afterward.

00:19:50.900 Yeah, yeah, just really not a smart move.

00:19:53.940 All right, so we want to talk a little bit about health care and what happened on Friday

00:19:58.000 and why, as conservatives, we should be fine with this.

00:20:02.640 This was a defeat of a non-conservative bill.

00:20:08.860 This was something that if Barack Obama would have landed on, because he actually negotiated

00:20:15.860 with the right, we would have hated it.

00:20:20.340 Yeah.

00:20:20.440 And there was nothing in it that made this better.

00:20:24.560 It just made Obamacare Trumpcare.

00:20:28.080 Well, I don't want Trumpcare.

00:20:30.840 I don't want our fingerprints on something that's still going to explode.

00:20:34.020 Let me give you a couple of things.

00:20:36.120 Trump's choice on Obamacare.

00:20:37.740 Sabotage or co-op?

00:20:38.740 This is from a political commentary.

00:20:41.120 I believe this is New York Times.

00:20:42.200 President Trump, Republican-led Congress, tried and failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

00:20:48.980 No, they didn't.

00:20:50.340 They did not try to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

00:20:54.520 That is, saying that they tried to repeal it.

00:20:57.500 They did under Obama, but that's not what they tried to do here.

00:21:00.360 Not what they tried to do here.

00:21:01.380 And to say that Trump tried to repeal Obamacare is as much of a lie or a spin as saying it's

00:21:11.020 the Affordable Care Act.

00:21:13.020 It's not affordable.

00:21:15.260 They repealed it.

00:21:16.740 If you leave out the word repeal.

00:21:21.420 Here's what they're saying now.

00:21:24.040 Mr. Ryan is now saying that it's exploding.

00:21:28.420 Yeah, well, it is exploding.

00:21:29.400 I mean, it is a disaster.

00:21:31.380 We all know that the ACA is a disaster.

00:21:34.920 Okay, so here's a couple of things that you need to know.

00:21:40.480 Fight court, I mean, a fight in court cases on subsidies.

00:21:45.780 The decision has to be made on subsidies.

00:21:49.720 House argued that the money for the subsidies is not properly authorized.

00:21:53.240 White House fought the case.

00:21:55.160 It's not clear whether Donald Trump is going to fight or not.

00:21:58.080 Without the subsidies, all of the insurers will lose some money and small insurance carriers

00:22:04.820 will face bankruptcy.

00:22:06.340 This, I believe, was designed in the first place.

00:22:12.600 Now, the New York Times is asking the question, hey, was this sabotage?

00:22:16.200 Did Trump sabotage this?

00:22:17.380 Wants it to blow up?

00:22:19.060 Trump did the Democrats.

00:22:22.040 Why would the Democrats not do it the right way so they know that it is going to blow up

00:22:28.780 within three years of being introduced?

00:22:31.000 There's also the individual mandate, whether to recruit insurers to participate in markets where competition is thin.

00:22:42.540 Yeah, this is where they're kind of talking about what Trump's next step is and does he actually help?

00:22:46.380 Because the argument is he can go and try to fix the problems that even the left is now admitting exist in Obamacare.

00:22:53.780 Look, we can go fix these things.

00:22:55.660 Let's put a little layer of paint on this thing and let it go.

00:23:00.580 He can go that way and work with Democrats.

00:23:02.520 Or the other thing they're saying is he could just, for example, not fight this lawsuit,

00:23:06.340 which would hurt the Obamacare insurers.

00:23:08.540 More would drop out and it would become even a bigger disaster.

00:23:11.340 Which only leads to single-payer health care.

00:23:13.960 Well, I mean, you hope not, right?

00:23:16.300 The whole point is when you have a Republican president and a Republican House and a Republican Senate,

00:23:21.220 it's not supposed to lead to single-payer health care.

00:23:22.960 But Bernie Sanders, being the only real honest broker on the left, just announced the plan.

00:23:31.380 Now, as you indicated, of course, Obamacare has serious problems.

00:23:35.500 Deductibles are too high.

00:23:36.920 Premiums are too high.

00:23:37.880 The cost of health care is going up at a much faster rate than it should.

00:23:41.900 But ideally, where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialized world

00:23:47.940 and guarantee health care to all people as a right.

00:23:51.980 And that's why I'm going to introduce a Medicare for All single-payer program.

00:23:55.180 Short-term, this is what we can do.

00:23:57.400 It's coming.

00:23:58.080 That's exactly what we're trying to do.

00:23:59.340 That's what this, I mean, that is, I mean, do you have the Trojan Horse stuff from, I think

00:24:05.380 it was Gruber that did the Trojan Horse, and we played this at Fox over and over and

00:24:10.740 over again.

00:24:11.660 Someone once said to me, this is a Trojan Horse for a single-payer.

00:24:14.140 And I said, well, it's not a Trojan Horse, right?

00:24:15.880 It's just right there.

00:24:16.960 I'm telling you.

00:24:18.480 We're going to get there.

00:24:19.420 I always like that clip.

00:24:20.160 We're going to get there.

00:24:20.920 I like that clip because it's the actual honest moment.

00:24:23.320 Right.

00:24:23.500 And he's admitting, that's not Gruber, though.

00:24:25.400 It's another guy.

00:24:25.960 I can't remember who it was.

00:24:27.040 But they're admitting that, yes, this is a Trojan Horse.

00:24:30.200 It's going to fail.

00:24:31.660 And when it does, the answer will be single-payer health care.

00:24:36.420 It is my feeling that Donald Trump, who is for single-payer health care, whether he knows

00:24:44.100 that this was a Trojan Horse or not, I don't know.

00:24:46.540 But he's going to be fine with letting it fail and letting it go into a bigger...

00:24:52.540 I hope not.

00:24:54.380 I hope not.

00:24:55.040 ...system.

00:24:55.760 Well, I mean, you know...

00:24:56.880 I mean, listen to his words.

00:24:58.460 But, I mean, you know, look, there's an argument to be made that...

00:25:00.800 Spicer said over the weekend that Donald Trump should not be taken figuratively.

00:25:07.880 He should be taken literally.

00:25:09.800 He wants to be taken literally.

00:25:11.720 Yeah, however, he did not say he wants to let it fail and go into a single-payer system.

00:25:15.980 No, he did not.

00:25:16.740 He did not.

00:25:17.220 So, the theory being, because I think you could argue...

00:25:19.580 No, what he said was back in September during the campaign.

00:25:23.080 He said, September of 2015, he said he wants government to take care of everyone.

00:25:28.860 Yes.

00:25:29.240 Now, even if that cost him votes, he was willing to go for it.

00:25:32.640 However, this plan that he just backed didn't do that.

00:25:35.920 No.

00:25:36.140 So, I mean, this is another defunct promise at this point.

00:25:37.720 I don't think he cares.

00:25:39.160 I don't...

00:25:39.580 He cares about the win.

00:25:40.740 He cares about the win.

00:25:42.540 And he's lost.

00:25:43.740 And the people who lost him, lost it for him, he believes, are now on an enemy's list.

00:25:49.760 So, he's looking for a way to win.

00:25:52.640 Yeah, and look, this happens with the Freedom Caucus as well.

00:25:55.260 It's not just people going left.

00:25:56.300 It's people going right.

00:25:57.380 When they went down to the end of this negotiation, they tried to get the Freedom Caucus people on.

00:26:01.800 One of the things they wanted was not to have to guarantee things like maternity care for old men who are not going to have any babies.

00:26:09.060 You have to...

00:26:09.560 That didn't have to be part of the program.

00:26:10.920 They wanted to leave that to the states.

00:26:12.580 They weren't even saying it was unnecessary.

00:26:14.560 They just said, we're going to leave it to the states.

00:26:16.080 That's what the Freedom Caucus wanted.

00:26:18.300 And they gave in on that.

00:26:19.180 The reason they gave in on it is because Donald Trump doesn't care if it's in there or not.

00:26:22.660 He does not care what is in this bill.

00:26:26.520 And obviously, it does not at all do the things that he said he wanted in the campaign.

00:26:30.840 At all.

00:26:31.320 That bill didn't do those things.

00:26:33.040 It wasn't even close to doing those things.

00:26:35.880 However, he just wasn't able to say he wants.

00:26:38.740 Because I want people to feel comfortable that the non-passage of this bill was the right thing to do.

00:26:49.560 Now, what Donald Trump does now, he's going to the left and embracing Democrats.

00:26:56.540 Okay, well, at least you still have your soul.

00:27:00.500 You still have your principles.

00:27:02.220 You still have your word.

00:27:04.820 At least you can say, I was consistent.

00:27:08.120 I didn't vote for any of this.

00:27:09.900 It was wrong.

00:27:11.400 And I didn't go along with the rest of society over the cliff.

00:27:15.760 It was wrong.

00:27:16.580 That's important when the thing resets.

00:27:21.260 But I want you to feel comfortable that you know this was not good.

00:27:26.800 This bill was just not good.

00:27:28.860 Yeah, I'll give you some of the similarities here.

00:27:31.180 For example, and it's a great example of something we've talked about a million times, by the way.

00:27:35.720 On things like global warming.

00:27:37.120 The left says, we've got to do something.

00:27:38.620 And the question to be asked is, is that something worth doing?

00:27:45.180 And yes, this is something.

00:27:47.280 However, is it worth doing?

00:27:48.560 For example, they take the subsidies that are currently going through Obamacare.

00:27:52.440 And they're based on income.

00:27:54.360 And what they did is they changed them so that they are instead based on age.

00:27:59.000 Now, they're a little bit cheaper.

00:28:02.540 It is a smaller subsidy.

00:28:05.260 So that's obviously a move, a step in the right direction, obviously.

00:28:08.460 Though I would argue, actually, the Obamacare approach is better.

00:28:11.720 I mean, it's better to give.

00:28:13.040 If you want to give away free money, it shouldn't be based on age.

00:28:16.540 It should be based on income.

00:28:18.460 I mean, if you're a rich, older person, you shouldn't be getting these subsidies.

00:28:22.920 Right?

00:28:23.140 I mean, Bill Gates should not get subsidies through GOP care. 0.96

00:28:27.420 That's ridiculous.

00:28:28.100 It shouldn't be based on age. 0.93

00:28:29.880 It should be based on income if you're going to give it away.

00:28:32.240 But that's a whole other problem.

00:28:33.000 You probably shouldn't be giving it away in the first place, except in very limited circumstances.

00:28:37.380 The Cadillac tax.

00:28:38.920 First of all, they kept the Cadillac tax and they just delayed it.

00:28:42.220 So, again, huge.

00:28:43.220 What was one of the biggest things we whined about with Obamacare was the Cadillac tax.

00:28:47.140 Then they also put in another similar type of tax that would do roughly the same thing.

00:28:53.360 The reason why they did that is because they knew it was so unpopular with so many powerful groups that in the end it would wind up being thrown out anyway.

00:29:01.760 However, they'd get the wonderful benefit of getting a better CBO score when they actually released the bill.

00:29:07.380 So, completely cynical, completely dishonest.

00:29:11.660 And the exact same approach Democrats took when they went through Obamacare.

00:29:17.600 Lying is what we called it then. 0.78

00:29:20.220 Now we call it maybe a different approach or the same approach.

00:29:23.580 It was lying.

00:29:24.140 They were lying to try to make it look better than it was.

00:29:28.680 Now, some of the taxes were gone.

00:29:31.340 However, the individual mandate was what?

00:29:34.760 It wasn't a mandate.

00:29:35.800 It was either get insurance or pay a fine.

00:29:39.060 The new plan for the GOP was either get insurance or pay a fine if you have a break in your insurance.

00:29:45.080 So, you can never get insurance and not pay a fine.

00:29:47.640 But, if you get insurance for a short time and it lapses, then you have to pay the fine.

00:29:54.760 Which is a bizarre way of dealing with it.

00:29:58.800 And it's a 30% premium, by the way.

00:30:01.540 They will allow insurance companies to charge you a 30% premium.

00:30:04.640 And if you're a true free market advocate, you might notice the problem with the government telling insurance companies they will allow them to charge a 30% premium.

00:30:13.460 Is it the government's role to tell insurance companies what they will allow them to charge people?

00:30:19.680 It's a whole other layer of issues with it.

00:30:23.280 You know, the question shouldn't be who should we blame that that bill failed.

00:30:29.260 It should be who should we praise that that bill failed.

00:30:32.820 It was a terrible strategy.

00:30:35.300 It was a terrible idea.

00:30:37.600 And the truth is, the fact that they're giving up shows you they were lying the entire time.

00:30:42.980 Remember, they said they were going to go through a three-phase program here to get all the stuff you really wanted in there.

00:30:48.740 Look, the first bill is not going to have everything in there.

00:30:50.380 We have three phases here.

00:30:51.540 Three wonderful phases.

00:30:52.820 You're going to get all the things that you want.

00:30:54.120 Are we?

00:30:55.080 They bailed.

00:30:55.880 The second phase one got hard.

00:30:58.780 The second phase one became difficult.

00:31:01.300 They didn't say, okay, look, we've got to go back to the drawing board and come up with something new.

00:31:05.260 They said, we're moving on.

00:31:06.680 It's over.

00:31:07.460 You had your chance.

00:31:08.500 Now it's over.

00:31:09.120 Is that someone who's actually dedicated to getting rid of Obamacare?

00:31:12.940 And this is not just Trump by any means.

00:31:14.880 It's Ryan and it's the leadership.

00:31:16.460 They all did this to themselves.

00:31:18.400 There was no reason to have this fake deadline on Friday.

00:31:22.080 There was no reason for it.

00:31:23.900 They thought they could negotiate their way.

00:31:27.680 The master negotiator could push this thing through by setting a false deadline and bully everyone into it.

00:31:33.200 And it failed.

00:31:34.060 They flopped on their faces.

00:31:35.760 The one thing we were supposed to get out of this president was this incredible negotiator.

00:31:41.120 And they tried it and it failed.

00:31:43.100 If they instead had said, look, we're close on votes.

00:31:46.440 We're not quite there.

00:31:47.920 We're going to take this off the table for a little bit.

00:31:49.980 Work on something else and come back to it in a month and rework some of the stuff.

00:31:53.260 It wouldn't have been a failure.

00:31:54.160 It wouldn't have been a delay.

00:31:56.180 A going back to the drawing board.

00:31:57.500 It wouldn't have been the best news in the world.

00:31:59.200 But it wouldn't have been this.

00:32:00.400 Which is a complete disaster.

00:32:01.560 And now they're acting as if we're not going to get anything done.

00:32:05.460 Why aren't you putting up the 2015 full repeal bill right now, today, this week, to pass it?

00:32:12.680 If you can't pass it, fine.

00:32:14.640 Then you'll have an argument to come back to us and say, hey, you know what?

00:32:17.940 We couldn't get that one done.

00:32:19.060 What can we do?

00:32:20.020 What can we fix?

00:32:20.940 What can we improve?

00:32:21.800 What taxes can we cut?

00:32:23.220 Why they didn't start or come about today with the tax plan is beyond me.

00:32:29.360 Because that's something we can all agree on.

00:32:32.700 Look, I would like a flat tax.

00:32:35.420 Or a zero tax to be gone.

00:32:37.320 I'd like it abolished.

00:32:37.780 Yes.

00:32:38.140 Okay.

00:32:38.380 So I'd like it abolished.

00:32:39.500 I'll take a flat tax.

00:32:41.040 I'll be okay with paying 30% down from 39.

00:32:46.760 You take 39% income tax and bring it to 35, I'm not happy, but I'm still voting for it.

00:32:54.760 Yeah, that's important, too, because they keep saying, well, tax reform is going to be even harder.

00:32:58.560 Look.

00:32:58.980 Tax reform, as long as it's going down, it's going to get all the Republicans.

00:33:04.120 There are very few people coming out here arguing for a 0% income tax.

00:33:07.660 I love it, would love it, but no one's arguing for it.

00:33:09.920 It's not in the normal conversation, okay?

00:33:13.300 It wasn't that there was no one arguing for the repeal of Obamacare.

00:33:17.740 This same Congress passed it 60 times.

00:33:21.360 They were the ones saying we could get no Obamacare.

00:33:24.280 And then they came back and gave us 75% of Obamacare.

00:33:28.500 That is not good enough.

00:33:29.400 Now, with a tax system, we will accept, I think, a lot more easy to accept a compromise.

00:33:36.560 Is it going down?

00:33:37.380 Is it going down?

00:33:38.000 Yes, good, I'll take it.

00:33:41.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:46.460 Mercury.

00:33:50.040 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:53.660 Mentioning that we, a couple of stories worth mentioning that we really need to get back to later in the show.

00:33:58.220 Harvard economist Kenneth Raghav, it says that we have to now phase out $150 and $20 bills.

00:34:06.380 That's 97% of all currency.

00:34:09.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:12.740 Mercury.

00:34:27.840 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:34:30.800 It's bad.

00:34:33.420 Well, good thing is, Wisconsin is putting people in jail for, you know, for selling butter that hasn't been graded.

00:34:48.300 You know, you want to get those butter smugglers right away. 0.77

00:34:52.100 The problem with butter is...

00:34:53.900 It's a threat to our democracy.

00:34:54.980 It really is.

00:34:56.720 Even though we don't have a democracy.

00:34:57.900 The U.S. Navy has a growing problem.

00:35:00.380 Okay.

00:35:00.520 They just, out of 100 Navy women, 16 have now had to be reassigned from ships to shore duty because of pregnancy.

00:35:14.560 This is the first time we've had a problem.

00:35:17.040 It's growing.

00:35:19.180 And maybe there's a reason for not having men and women on the ship together.

00:35:25.200 Or it could have been something in the water.

00:35:28.620 I'm not really sure.

00:35:30.060 Also, the churches in England are starting to have a surge of new baptisms.

00:35:39.980 Where are they coming from?

00:35:44.080 Muslim refugees.

00:35:46.720 A side of the story you have not heard.

00:35:49.060 It's exclusive on glennbeck.com.

00:35:51.880 We'll get to that.

00:35:52.800 And so much more, including Ted Koppel.

00:35:55.920 Begins right now.

00:35:57.120 I will make a stand.

00:36:00.500 I will raise my voice.

00:36:02.820 I will hold your hand.

00:36:05.060 Because we are one.

00:36:07.040 I will beat my drum.

00:36:09.300 I have made my choice.

00:36:11.560 We will overcome.

00:36:13.840 Because we are one.

00:36:15.900 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:36:19.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:24.620 Hello, America.

00:36:25.640 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:26.620 Yesterday, I saw a thing on Ted Koppel and Sean Hannity having it out.

00:36:34.620 And Sean has said, you know, look, he's edited 45 minutes of this.

00:36:40.440 You know, CBS should release the 45 minutes so it's fair, etc., etc.

00:36:44.460 I'm not going to let Ted Koppel and Sean Hannity handle that.

00:36:47.760 I went back and I watched the full eight minutes on CBS Sunday morning.

00:36:52.080 And there's some really good points and some really bad points on both sides of the argument.

00:36:58.340 It has nothing to do with Hannity.

00:36:59.780 They talked to and talked about everybody in the media.

00:37:04.840 And I thought it was really worth going over because both sides have it wrong here.

00:37:11.540 Listen, we have it from the beginning, Pat?

00:37:16.640 Yes.

00:37:17.620 Okay, so we'll take it from the beginning.

00:37:20.020 This is CBS Sunday morning.

00:37:21.840 The alt-left propaganda destroyed Trump media, continue to ignore facts, and what has clearly

00:37:27.580 now become a political witch hunt.

00:37:29.760 Sean Hannity's television program on Fox has a nightly audience of 2.9 million viewers.

00:37:37.540 He has, from the first, promoted Donald Trump and a highly Protestant agenda. 0.73

00:37:43.920 Honestly, I think liberalism has to be defeated.

00:37:47.620 Socialism must be defeated in a political sense.

00:37:50.960 This is not a...

00:37:51.720 We don't want a revolution in this country.

00:37:54.160 What more do you want?

00:37:54.940 You got the White House, you got the House, you got the Senate.

00:37:57.260 And then we have angry snowflakes, and then we've got a Democratic establishment.

00:38:02.220 I say the press in this country is out to destroy this president.

00:38:06.660 Well, the president's real troubles, again today, were not with the media, but with the facts.

00:38:11.720 It's absolutely crazy. 0.82

00:38:13.460 He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all. 0.82

00:38:18.500 I think the president is somewhat indifferent to things that are true or false. 0.76

00:38:22.500 Stop.

00:38:23.100 This is true.

00:38:23.920 I hate to agree with Fareed Zakaria, but this is true as well.

00:38:28.800 Yeah, he definitely throws things out that he's hoping are going to stick to the wall. 0.98

00:38:32.820 He has spent his whole life bullshitting. 0.97

00:38:34.780 He has succeeded by bullshitting. 0.99

00:38:37.100 They live in two separate worlds. 0.97

00:38:40.340 And they don't...

00:38:41.580 And they don't understand Trump's.

00:38:43.840 That's what Rush is going to say.

00:38:45.780 Rush is right as well.

00:38:47.180 So, Fareed, and who is the other guy from Fox News?

00:38:53.580 Shepard Smith.

00:38:54.400 Shepard Smith.

00:38:55.700 Those two were right.

00:38:57.400 But so is Rush Limbaugh.

00:38:59.260 Definitely.

00:38:59.760 They're not saying the same thing here.

00:39:02.320 One is saying that there's facts that Trump just throws out that are just not true.

00:39:07.140 They're just not true.

00:39:08.640 And that's verifiable in a hundred different cases.

00:39:11.580 What Rush is saying is there are two different worlds here.

00:39:16.420 And the media does not understand the Trump world.

00:39:20.520 And that's definitely true.

00:39:21.660 That's definitely true.

00:39:23.240 Understand Trump's.

00:39:24.880 Rush Limbaugh had a lot to do with creating those two separate worlds.

00:39:29.460 Now, listen to this.

00:39:29.940 I don't buy that.

00:39:31.020 Listen to this.

00:39:31.680 He couldn't have done it until 1987 when the Federal Communications Commission did away with the so-called Fairness Doctrine.

00:39:40.760 Which was what?

00:39:41.760 The Fairness Doctrine basically said that people on radio and television, if they presented one political point of view, had to balance it with the opposite political point of view.

00:39:52.860 Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, a program exclusively designed for rich conservatives and right-minded Republicans and those who want to be either or both.

00:40:00.780 Free of the Fairness Doctrine.

00:40:02.120 Now, that's old tape.

00:40:04.160 Really old.

00:40:04.780 Really old.

00:40:05.460 That had to be late 80s.

00:40:06.400 Yeah, of Rush Limbaugh saying that.

00:40:09.800 Yeah.

00:40:10.000 There's no problem with that.

00:40:11.580 Do you notice that the media never brings up the Fairness Doctrine?

00:40:15.580 Well, first of all, the Fairness Doctrine is a thing of the past and is completely a moot point because of the Internet.

00:40:24.740 Everybody's opinion can be heard and could be found. 0.87

00:40:27.260 So, it's ridiculous. 1.00

00:40:28.480 What a stupid point, though, to bring up. 1.00

00:40:29.960 And again, Ted Koppel makes some good points in here, too. 1.00

00:40:31.260 And Koppel's on his crusade right now.

00:40:33.180 He's really on a Fairness Doctrine crusade. 0.66

00:40:35.260 In fact, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

00:40:38.860 He talked to me a few weeks ago.

00:40:40.280 I did CBS Sunday morning as well.

00:40:42.400 And he talked to me and he said, you know, how do we find people we trust?

00:40:46.960 Maybe we should license people. 1.00

00:40:48.780 Ted, no, we should not have a federal license for journalists.

00:40:53.060 No.

00:40:53.900 You're missing the point.

00:40:55.260 There's something new.

00:40:56.240 It's called the Internet.

00:40:56.940 We just have to learn how to be responsible with this new toy.

00:41:00.780 You can get another example of, because the left hasn't made, I think they've even given up on this argument at this point, the Fairness Doctrine.

00:41:06.820 But it was something they were taking pretty seriously in the early 2000s, even before the Internet really took off.

00:41:12.680 And it's like you realize now how silly these arguments are.

00:41:16.200 They're constantly trying to lock in with a license what the market will take care of anyway. 0.98

00:41:20.900 It's the same thing with all sorts of different technologies.

00:41:23.720 And once again, we see it here.

00:41:25.640 It's interesting, too, to note that Koppel only goes after the right.

00:41:30.560 He doesn't say anything about the MSNBCs of the world who are completely biased on the left.

00:41:36.780 Look, you have Keith Oberman.

00:41:38.860 What Keith Oberman did during the Bush administration couldn't have been done during the Fairness Doctrine time either.

00:41:45.240 But nobody seemed to have a problem with that.

00:41:47.380 And nobody ever says, what did Keith Oberman cause?

00:41:50.340 When I showed up on the scene, they never went to him and said, did you cause Glenn Beck, Keith Oberman?

00:41:57.420 You could have easily asked him that because in some ways, yes, I was a response to Keith Oberman.

00:42:04.500 And it's weird because the way the Fairness Doctrine was applied back when it was in force, you didn't have commentators saying both sides of the issue.

00:42:16.140 You just have like Rush Limbaugh on his show from 9 to noon or whatever it is.

00:42:23.480 And then you'd have a liberal from noon to 3.

00:42:26.800 So they balanced it that way.

00:42:28.760 And it made no sense from a radio station standpoint.

00:42:32.400 Nobody wanted to hear that.

00:42:34.020 No radio station could survive doing that.

00:42:36.780 No.

00:42:37.000 It couldn't survive.

00:42:37.620 It's like talk radio didn't explode until after the Fairness Doctrine.

00:42:40.560 Right.

00:42:41.260 Because you had the right to be who you wanted to be.

00:42:44.300 Yeah.

00:42:44.720 But that requires you to be responsible.

00:42:47.560 Now listen to the rest of this.

00:42:48.620 Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio exploded into a political force of nature.

00:42:55.480 Now you take.

00:42:56.900 Yes, it exploded into a because people wanted to hear it now.

00:43:01.540 Yeah.

00:43:02.120 People wanted to hear.

00:43:03.500 They had never heard.

00:43:05.220 I mean, you have to put yourself back at this time.

00:43:07.900 Nobody had a platform as a conservative.

00:43:12.780 Nobody.

00:43:13.420 So you couldn't stand up and and really make the case for Ronald Reagan until the time when Ronald Reagan's presidency was almost over.

00:43:26.340 So when when Rush came onto the scene, it was explosive because nobody had said these things before.

00:43:35.760 It's exactly the same reason and the same way that that Howard Stern came on as a force.

00:43:43.780 And I think Howard Stern had as much to do with the changing of the culture in the media as Rush Limbaugh or or anybody else.

00:43:54.640 Oh, yeah.

00:43:55.580 The the this is the first Howard Stern presidency.

00:43:59.080 This is a guy, our president, who learned how to deal with the media from Howard Stern, listening and being a part of that radio show.

00:44:09.260 Howard Stern is the this president is our Howard Stern president.

00:44:16.900 And I'm not making a judgment, good or bad.

00:44:18.860 You do that.

00:44:21.240 But when Howard Stern came on, it was just like Rush Limbaugh.

00:44:24.640 Nobody could say these things.

00:44:27.520 He did.

00:44:28.520 He was the first to say them.

00:44:30.260 Of course, they're going to explode.

00:44:33.400 Yeah, no question.

00:44:34.220 There's more.

00:44:35.680 Well, that's that's as much as I put in there.

00:44:37.880 OK, so they go on and he goes on to say that Sean Hannity is bad for America.

00:44:43.820 Now, he's not making that accusation against the Keith Olbermann's of the world.

00:44:48.460 Why not?

00:44:49.620 The Bill Maher's of the world.

00:44:51.180 They they are as partisan, if not more so on the left than any of us on the right are.

00:44:58.860 But that's perfect.

00:45:00.420 You don't hear you don't hear anybody saying this about Bill Maher.

00:45:04.780 No, I mean, and the bottom line is when Republicans are in charge, they see that opposition as a vital part of our democracy, as they would use that term.

00:45:16.400 When a you know, when Barack Obama is in charge, they look at it as a speed bump.

00:45:19.700 Why are these people in the way of all this wonderful progress?

00:45:22.260 Now, they're not saying, you know, I don't even think that that's overt.

00:45:26.860 I think a lot of times I don't think that they're thinking to themselves, well, wait a minute.

00:45:30.440 No, no, they just that's just their their worldview.

00:45:32.660 They come from that position.

00:45:34.040 So it's difficult for them, I think, to separate it.

00:45:36.000 Some do it.

00:45:36.720 Some journalists do are able to accomplish that.

00:45:39.660 But if you can't see the partisanship on the left, I mean, you're completely blind.

00:45:42.700 You're completely blind.

00:45:44.100 And Koppel does point that out.

00:45:45.160 I mean, he says all opinion shows.

00:45:46.760 So, you know, he doesn't he doesn't like the genre of opinion shows, which is pretty extreme position to take in the United States, which has had the editorial page of newspapers going back to our founding.

00:45:58.740 I mean, this is that's all this is all.

00:46:00.400 The problem is, is the editorial page has taken over the front page.

00:46:05.400 That's the problem.

00:46:06.860 Yeah, because news news has nobody wants to risk.

00:46:13.120 Nobody wants to do the right thing if it is a risk to themselves.

00:46:19.860 You're not going to see anybody at CNN stand up and say, wait a minute.

00:46:26.640 Wait a minute.

00:46:27.780 What have we done?

00:46:29.100 Let's lower the temperature.

00:46:31.260 Let's not put on so many flamethrowers.

00:46:34.820 Let's let's reduce the arguments on CNN.

00:46:39.020 You're not going to see them do that because they're having record ratings because they're arguing and they've got flamethrowers on both sides.

00:46:48.780 Flamethrowers will do two things.

00:46:50.820 They will get you ratings and then they will also burn your house down to the ground.

00:46:56.300 I'm I'm out of the burn your house down to the ground business.

00:47:01.640 I don't want to be a part of that business.

00:47:04.040 Ted Koppel said, you know, people like you and he's referring to Hannity, but he's referring to people like us.

00:47:11.200 People like you have made ideology more important than facts.

00:47:17.180 Well, I think we saw that during the last election.

00:47:21.380 I think we're seeing that now, even with Obamacare.

00:47:24.900 The facts are that is not a conservative bill that was not repealing Obamacare.

00:47:32.500 No matter what anybody tells you, there was no repeal of Obamacare there.

00:47:36.360 There was prop Obamacare up and make it a little more palatable emphasis on a little more palatable for the right. 0.95

00:47:48.720 That's that's that's I want my team to win.

00:47:52.280 I want my team to control the government health care system.

00:47:57.200 It's so clear that's true, too, because the Democrats are saying, well, yes, there's problems with Obamacare, but we just need to fix those.

00:48:04.000 That's essentially what this bill did. And every single one of them voted against it, which shows you it's completely partisan.

00:48:10.500 They're just playing for their team. They don't care about reality in any way.

00:48:15.380 They just want the win.

00:48:18.000 And repeal is great. And it would be great if this terrible bill were repealed.

00:48:21.760 However, that should not be the goal. The goal should not be to roll things back to 2008.

00:48:26.560 The goal should be to improve things as they were in 2008.

00:48:29.520 I mean, Paul Ryan, I mean, as bad as he was on this, there was a time that he was actually advancing real conservative ideas.

00:48:38.140 That guy seems to have dropped off the planet.

00:48:40.940 Yeah. Remember when he first came on the scene? Yeah.

00:48:42.960 We liked him a lot. I mean, he gets worse and worse every year.

00:48:46.760 They always do. They always do.

00:48:48.920 They always do.

00:48:49.900 They plot and they they plan how to get these guys.

00:48:54.780 You know, how do you capture them for the progressive big government?

00:48:59.920 It is why term limits are absolutely imperative.

00:49:03.820 Did you ever think we would see a time when we this vehemently disagreed with Ted Poe?

00:49:09.500 Ted Poe.

00:49:11.540 He's got to have like a 99 percent conservative rating with with Heritage and FreedomWorks.

00:49:19.620 I would think.

00:49:20.780 How is he on board with that crappy bill? 0.88

00:49:23.440 Yeah. His argument was they'd listen to him. 0.93

00:49:26.400 They he he he said the reason they had the Freedom Caucus in the first place is because the Freedom Caucus people never got a seat at the table.

00:49:32.580 This time they let him have a seat at the table and they they they added a couple of things to this bill that were good.

00:49:37.820 And then we vote no.

00:49:39.460 Yes.

00:49:40.100 Yeah. The whole bill still sucks. 0.99

00:49:41.660 Whether you've got a couple of good things in there or not is does not mean anything. 0.87

00:49:45.200 I mean, you know, the bill in and of itself was, I believe and some people disagree with us,

00:49:50.260 but I believe a slight improvement of Obamacare.

00:49:53.300 It's a little bit better.

00:49:54.220 The taxes are lower that, you know, health savings counts are there.

00:49:57.160 There's a little bit less spending.

00:49:58.520 There are some things in there that are positive.

00:50:01.680 You say better.

00:50:02.240 I mean, by making it last a little longer and by making it a little more palatable because lower taxes,

00:50:10.400 if you call that better, great.

00:50:12.040 I call that worse.

00:50:13.560 I mean, I think that it's better in that, you know, it is costing us less money, which is important.

00:50:18.340 It is taxing us less, which is important.

00:50:20.380 There is there are regulation cuts.

00:50:21.920 The individual mandate is probably the most offensive part of this.

00:50:24.720 And while it's still kind of in there, it's not in there as offensive as offensive.

00:50:28.300 But let me give you this stat, Glenn, when this when Obamacare was passing, they said,

00:50:33.640 if you don't do anything at the end of this term, I think it was 2019 or something.

00:50:37.980 It was 52 million people will be without insurance or 54 million people with the AHCA.

00:50:43.760 This Obamacare light thing was 52 million.

00:50:46.480 So you've passed a giant piece of entitlement and locked it in because the Republicans are the ones that have done it.

00:50:53.760 If this bill had gone through.

00:50:55.240 And what have you done?

00:50:56.260 You've you've two million people that would be insured that wouldn't otherwise be insured a few years later.

00:51:03.300 I mean, that is you've you've spent the money and done nothing.

00:51:07.420 At least liberals will go in there and spend the money and say they got more people insured.

00:51:11.980 You haven't even insured more people and you're spending the money.

00:51:15.180 It makes absolutely no sense.

00:51:17.120 It's a bizarre half measure.

00:51:18.740 Why not go for something that's better than our old system?

00:51:21.980 Why not improve it?

00:51:23.220 Well, and they won't do that.

00:51:24.820 We won't do it because people are not intellectually honest.

00:51:27.700 They're not honest with each other and they're all playing teams.

00:51:30.560 I don't want to play teams anymore.

00:51:32.620 Don't want to play teams anymore.

00:51:34.060 If you're with us, you're in the right place.

00:51:35.960 Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:39.040 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

00:51:41.680 Mercury.

00:51:45.840 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:48.800 Hello, America.

00:51:50.240 Welcome to the program.

00:51:51.720 We've got a couple of things we really have to get to.

00:51:54.060 One is that the modifications to your body that they say are coming in the next 10 years.

00:52:05.240 They are remarkable.

00:52:08.740 And we better decide whether we want those things happening or not.

00:52:13.160 Because Silicon Valley is now looking to eliminate death.

00:52:17.160 And they define death differently than I think you define death.

00:52:23.560 And we'll go over that coming up.

00:52:38.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:41.800 Mercury.

00:52:42.880 Mercury.

00:52:43.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:50.520 Well, there was quite a big announcement on Friday that had nothing to do with Obamacare.

00:52:56.840 Had a little something to do with Hillary Clinton's campaign. 1.00

00:53:02.300 And that is that Pizzagate has finally been cleared up for all of those people that believed in Pizzagate.

00:53:09.580 Pizzagate, of course, was where Hillary Clinton was running this, essentially, a whorehouse out of a pizza restaurant. 1.00

00:53:18.600 Child whorehouse. 1.00

00:53:19.520 Yes. 0.96

00:53:19.980 And then there was a series of incredibly complex tunneling underneath.

00:53:24.640 Yes.

00:53:25.000 Is where they would come and go.

00:53:26.420 And you'd see them go in but never come out because they went out through the tunnels.

00:53:29.500 Of course.

00:53:29.760 And, of course, if you ordered, like, a, you know, Hawaiian with extra cheese.

00:53:34.860 That meant.

00:53:36.040 I don't know what it meant.

00:53:37.500 Maybe a little.

00:53:37.980 You wanted a Polynesian child.

00:53:39.200 A little Polynesian child with a little extra chunk to them or something. 0.88

00:53:43.120 I don't know.

00:53:43.880 That is legit.

00:53:44.480 I mean, legitimately, they had each flavor.

00:53:46.700 They had the whole list.

00:53:49.000 And there's a big announcement from the guy who is, you know, one of the lead flag wavers for this.

00:53:58.220 Oh, no.

00:53:58.500 In issuing this statement, we are not admitting that Mr. Alifonis or his restaurants have any legal claim.

00:54:03.900 We do not believe they do.

00:54:06.060 But we are issuing this statement because we believe it's the right thing to do.

00:54:10.000 It will be no surprise to you that we will fight for children across America.

00:54:14.160 But the Pizzagate narrative, as least as concerning Mr. Alifonis at Comet Ping Pong.

00:54:20.240 At least as far as concerning him.

00:54:24.220 I mean, the whole thing may be true outside of this one guy who's about to sue us into oblivion.

00:54:30.900 But he has nothing to do with this particular thing.

00:54:34.880 Right.

00:54:35.180 Everything else is true. 0.96

00:54:36.300 And this is obviously Alex Jones, the ridiculous conspiracy theorist.

00:54:40.060 But obviously, having a severe threat of a lawsuit.

00:54:45.520 As you can tell, he's reading this hostage statement. 0.96

00:54:48.860 And this is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories ever devised. 0.91

00:54:52.820 Well, he's never met a conspiracy that he doesn't like. 0.98

00:54:54.900 No, he sure hasn't.

00:54:55.860 Everything's a conspiracy to him. 0.84

00:54:57.360 He doesn't even believe in Muslim terror. 0.94

00:54:59.700 That's all perpetrated by the government. 0.96

00:55:02.160 What? 0.95

00:55:02.700 Yeah, he doesn't buy into Muslim terror at all. 0.76

00:55:05.180 That 11 was an inside job. 0.87

00:55:06.580 Right.

00:55:07.160 And that's where it all stems from.

00:55:08.440 False flags. 0.98

00:55:09.000 We're blaming things on Muslims so we can go to war with them. 1.00

00:55:11.940 That's not a real thing. 0.97

00:55:13.620 Okay.

00:55:14.140 All right.

00:55:14.580 Yeah.

00:55:14.860 We have subsequently determined was based upon what we now believe was an incorrect narrative.

00:55:20.020 No.

00:55:20.460 Despite the fact that we were far from the genesis of this story.

00:55:24.120 It is never easy to admit when your commentaries are based on an accurate information.

00:55:28.840 So wait a minute.

00:55:29.580 So the guy who showed up with a gun at the pizza parlor.

00:55:35.100 I'm hoping he's heard this now, too.

00:55:37.580 Yes.

00:55:37.980 Alex has said, oops, I guess we were listening to the wrong person.

00:55:42.180 And to be clear, the guy with the gun figured it out before Alex because he left there realizing

00:55:47.500 there was nothing to it.

00:55:48.560 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:48.720 He went there to kill them. 0.88

00:55:50.280 And then he realized, I don't think there's a tunnel system underneath this. 0.93

00:55:54.920 It's just a pizza parlor.

00:55:56.760 Okay.

00:55:57.200 We feel like we owe it to you, the listeners, viewers, and supporters to make that statement

00:56:02.180 and to give an apology to you and Mr. Oliphantus when we do.

00:56:06.040 We encourage you to hold us accountable because we improve when you do.

00:56:11.580 That's really good.

00:56:12.600 I mean, and this.

00:56:14.000 First of all, here's how here's.

00:56:16.520 Now, I don't know how seriously he took it because he was wearing his shirt when he read

00:56:21.980 that.

00:56:22.340 Do we have that confirmed?

00:56:26.980 We have that confirmed.

00:56:28.100 He was wearing a shirt.

00:56:29.080 Usually when he really means something, he rips his shirt off.

00:56:32.800 He must not have had a steak the night before and wasn't feeling that testosterone.

00:56:36.740 Yeah.

00:56:36.960 Was it steak that makes him feel like that?

00:56:39.020 It's steak and jalapeno peppers.

00:56:40.540 Also, wait a minute.

00:56:42.060 What about his supplements?

00:56:43.800 His supplements are a big part of that.

00:56:45.000 It could be that or it just could be bipolar, roid rage, you know, it could be possible

00:56:52.060 that they sold so much male vitality formula that they had none left for him because, I

00:56:58.160 mean, that could be the problem.

00:56:59.680 It could be.

00:57:00.640 This is a monumentous occasion here.

00:57:03.080 The fact that he I mean, this is a man who said, you know, Sandy Hook didn't happen.

00:57:07.320 It was a false flag.

00:57:08.100 It was it was obviously fake with fake actors.

00:57:10.900 I mean, the children were all fake.

00:57:12.180 And he denied saying that, but he's he's on record saying it.

00:57:15.680 He doesn't.

00:57:16.380 He didn't say record.

00:57:17.600 You mean YouTube.

00:57:18.700 Yes.

00:57:18.880 Yes.

00:57:19.240 But I mean, that's his record.

00:57:20.080 Right.

00:57:20.460 The point is, he doesn't back down from these things.

00:57:22.280 And you might say, well, hey, it's a it's a good thing.

00:57:25.020 He's finally admitting one of these things is fake.

00:57:27.200 I think it's the exact opposite.

00:57:29.460 The he could he the reason he said anything is because he never had any any consequences

00:57:33.300 to it.

00:57:34.000 He's now been so mainstreamed by certain members of of Donald Trump.

00:57:40.220 Donald Trump.

00:57:40.640 That that he now is in the position where people care enough about what he says to get

00:57:46.280 lawsuits that he has to apologize for.

00:57:49.040 This is him being mainstreamed and the result of it, which is really a terrible development

00:57:54.140 for our country.

00:57:55.220 This is so I mean, you know, you want to talk about conspiracy theories.

00:57:59.280 This this pizza thing is just outrageous.

00:58:06.980 And by the way, his people say that I know about Pizzagate and I've either been bought

00:58:14.100 off or I'm a part of it.

00:58:15.480 So I wonder if maybe they'll back off that claim now.

00:58:18.920 No.

00:58:19.200 I mean, doesn't that illegitimize everything else he said surrounding this Pizzagate?

00:58:24.520 No, because no, because he said, oh, at least as it applies to Mr. Kalanakis or whatever

00:58:31.660 his name is.

00:58:32.460 Right.

00:58:32.840 Yeah.

00:58:33.340 So so whereas it applies to you, it's still.

00:58:36.120 Oh, I'm sure.

00:58:36.760 He's what he's saying here is I still believe in Pizzagate.

00:58:39.760 Just not going through this pizza parlor.

00:58:43.200 There's another one with secret tunnels. 1.00

00:58:47.360 This is just so stupid. 1.00

00:58:49.460 It's so ridiculous. 1.00

00:58:50.820 Have you met people who believe in it? 0.99

00:58:53.140 I know.

00:58:53.520 I don't think so.

00:58:54.140 Oh, I have.

00:58:54.860 Oh, you have?

00:58:55.380 Oh, I have.

00:58:56.540 I've met people like like I've laughed.

00:58:59.260 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:59:00.040 Yeah.

00:59:00.260 Like I've laughed at them.

00:59:01.480 They're like, tell me about Pizzagate.

00:59:03.640 I know.

00:59:04.440 Right.

00:59:06.080 I'm sorry.

00:59:06.740 What?

00:59:07.000 Because they'll look at you like, why are you laughing?

00:59:11.420 And you'd be like, well, no, you know, I don't know about the pizza parlor.

00:59:16.920 You know, I don't know about all that, but I believe this stuff is happening.

00:59:21.820 Wow.

00:59:22.400 Come on.

00:59:24.280 That's unbelievable.

00:59:24.980 Come on.

00:59:25.700 It is not happening.

00:59:27.920 But we know that Alex Jones feels deeply about these things and it pierces him to to the core.

00:59:33.800 To feel what the children are feeling.

00:59:35.880 He feels things.

00:59:37.000 God almighty.

00:59:37.980 Yeah.

00:59:50.740 Folks, we got it.

00:59:51.820 We got to get good people to stand up against these people.

00:59:54.660 Yeah.

00:59:55.880 Dump.

00:59:57.160 Dump.

00:59:57.720 Dump.

00:59:59.980 Dump.

01:00:00.780 Dump.

01:00:00.980 Dump.

01:00:02.920 Dump.

01:00:04.060 Dump.

01:00:04.500 Dump.

01:00:04.640 Dump.

01:00:05.000 Dump.

01:00:05.120 Dump.

01:00:05.200 Dump.

01:00:05.240 Dump.

01:00:06.240 Dump.

01:00:07.940 I probably shouldn't even have done this radio show today.

01:00:10.320 Already.

01:00:10.580 Because I have this disgusted cover.

01:00:12.740 Disgusted.

01:00:13.140 For how I just hate the globalists, but it's more than that. 0.96

01:00:15.320 The globalists.

01:00:16.040 The globalists.

01:00:16.520 And I just get flippant and angry.

01:00:18.660 But it's because deep down, folks, I can see what they're doing.

01:00:21.960 And we have a responsibility.

01:00:23.960 Right.

01:00:24.300 To stop these globalists.

01:00:25.640 To stop these globalists.

01:00:25.760 Globalists.

01:00:26.640 Where are the men in this country?

01:00:28.560 Where are the men in this world?

01:00:30.400 Where are the men in this world?

01:00:30.420 What the hell have we become?

01:00:32.260 The men.

01:00:32.960 We just offer our children up to the system with the fluoride and the water and the GMO 0.98

01:00:37.960 hurting them.

01:00:38.720 What about the airport?

01:00:39.760 And we let some perverts grab them at the airport to train them to the powerful government. 1.00

01:00:43.160 Damn it. 1.00

01:00:43.640 Oh my gosh. 1.00

01:00:44.020 And we've just got such a sick society.

01:00:46.200 Oh my gosh.

01:00:47.140 We just offer our kids up to the water with the fluoride.

01:00:50.520 I mean, just that in and of itself is like, what?

01:00:55.300 I'm pretty cool with not having cavities.

01:00:57.860 I don't know about anybody else, but I'm glad there's fluoride in the water. 1.00

01:01:02.740 You bastard. 1.00

01:01:03.840 I can't believe you just said that. 1.00

01:01:05.060 Right?

01:01:05.580 Oh my gosh.

01:01:06.480 This man is pro-fluoride.

01:01:07.940 He's pro-fluoride.

01:01:09.580 He's in bed with Crest.

01:01:12.080 Or Colgate, no.

01:01:13.140 Actually, Crest and Colgate probably don't want fluoride in the water because then you'd

01:01:15.800 have to get it from them.

01:01:17.440 Right?

01:01:17.940 Maybe Alex Jones is in bed with Crest. 0.99

01:01:19.560 Well, I'm only pro-fluoride because it makes the frogs gay. 0.99

01:01:23.100 Oh, well, that's true. 0.71

01:01:24.420 That and Prozac.

01:01:25.300 You put Prozac in and frogs just start to off themselves.

01:01:29.760 Well, they walk right up to sheagles. 0.53

01:01:32.440 They walk right up to sheagles. 0.94

01:01:34.360 Seagulls.

01:01:35.240 That's right.

01:01:35.740 Seagulls.

01:01:35.940 And offer themselves up to the sheagles who just eat them.

01:01:40.040 So they're committing suicide.

01:01:42.740 It's like you've heard of death by cop.

01:01:44.780 Yeah, this is suicide by seagull.

01:01:46.920 Yeah.

01:01:50.060 But the real question is, where are the men?

01:01:53.900 Thank you.

01:01:54.480 Where are the, they've all been killed by toothpaste.

01:01:58.600 None of them call me back.

01:02:00.700 Where are the men?

01:02:03.440 Oh, boy.

01:02:08.760 And now this.

01:02:10.780 We live in a country where we depend on our employer.

01:02:14.140 We depend on our government to dictate our health care.

01:02:18.060 How's that turning out?

01:02:19.820 Not real great, is it?

01:02:22.060 Starting tomorrow, in an exclusive serial on the Glenn Beck Program, you'll learn about the history of the Democratic Party.

01:02:29.000 Listen live or online at glennbeck.com slash serials.

01:02:32.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:02:38.060 Mercury.

01:02:42.620 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:02:44.800 888-727-BECK.

01:02:46.940 So, much to my chagrin, because I just didn't believe this was true, what Stu was saying, that this was a, this apology on the sonic ping pong pizza gate thing from Alex Jones was perhaps due to some litigation.

01:03:02.920 Yeah, it does seem that way.

01:03:03.980 It was the same day, the guy who went in with the gun to Comet Ping Pong, which by the way, I will say, I went to the website, looks like they have pretty damn good pizza.

01:03:12.320 I will say, it actually does look, it looks good.

01:03:15.280 However, so, this guy, his name is Welch, last name is Welch, he went to Comet Ping Pong.

01:03:26.680 With a rifle.

01:03:27.460 With a rifle.

01:03:28.540 Shot it a couple times, did not kill anyone, went to investigate it, and to his, I guess, credit, when he realized that it was a total BS conspiracy theory, walked out of there and said, wow, I was wrong, basically, and surrendered.

01:03:39.700 I strangely feel bad for him, because he wasn't crazy, he just bought into this stuff.

01:03:46.960 And if you believed it.

01:03:48.500 That's what he said, he said, I believed it, and what, I'm not supposed to go rescue these children?

01:03:53.900 It really is a weird, sad story, and again, people are now trying to say, because Alex Jones apparently told his listeners to go investigate this, and so people are trying to say it's his fault.

01:04:05.320 Now, look, he's a commentator, he's, as much as I don't want to defend Alex Jones in any way, he's not responsible for what one person of his audience goes and does.

01:04:15.260 That being said, this apology from Alex Jones about Pizzagate, saying there was nothing to it at Comet Ping Pong, was on the same day this guy pled guilty, the guy who went in there with a gun.

01:04:27.220 Now, he, I love this part of the story, so he, he, the guy who went in there with a gun, is an Alex Jones listener.

01:04:37.020 And this is what he told the New York Times, Alex Jones touches on some issues that are viable, but sometimes Jones goes off the deep end.

01:04:46.700 Sometimes.

01:04:47.000 So the guy with the gun, who went to a pizza place to investigate, he thinks, even he thinks Alex Jones is nuts. 0.84

01:04:55.280 Wow. 0.62

01:04:55.680 Which is pretty freaking amazing.

01:04:57.980 Wow.

01:04:58.840 But, I mean, this is a pretty big moment, where you have Alex Jones apologizing for something.

01:05:04.280 Now, he'll never do it for...

01:05:05.280 But, interestingly, not saying that Pizzagate is fake.

01:05:10.220 No, he's, I think he's going to still try to keep it on people like Hillary Clinton, because the thing is, the government, and no, no, she's not in the government right now, 0.91

01:05:17.500 but when you're alleging the government is involved in these things, the government's not going to come sue Alex Jones over his 9-11 conspiracy theory.

01:05:24.000 But these individual companies will.

01:05:26.580 And, you know, I would be surprised if there's not a lawsuit against him.

01:05:30.560 He said horrible things about this man.

01:05:33.260 And now he's saying, well, that wasn't...

01:05:34.760 You listen to the text that was obviously written for him by a lawyer as he reads it and says,

01:05:40.280 Well, look, we're not the genesis of this.

01:05:43.800 We were operating on third parties' information.

01:05:46.120 We now realize it was wrong, blah, blah, blah.

01:05:48.280 And that can happen to a legitimate news source at times.

01:05:50.940 It just, you know, here is obviously a bizarre case.

01:05:54.420 And, you know...

01:05:55.020 Who are the people that he relied on?

01:05:57.820 Other nutjobs.

01:05:59.420 You know, I mean, obviously, no one with any credibility believed this Pizzagate thing for a second.

01:06:04.360 There's nothing to it.

01:06:05.380 I couldn't believe...

01:06:06.740 We said it at the time.

01:06:06.760 I couldn't believe...

01:06:07.640 I've met two or three people that believe that.

01:06:10.900 And one of them said, basically, they got to you, huh?

01:06:17.660 Like, no, nobody's gotten to me.

01:06:19.940 No, that Pizzagate thing is a lie.

01:06:22.420 Well, what about that $104,000 you got from Hillary?

01:06:25.160 No, that was a lie, too.

01:06:27.380 So...

01:06:27.580 What?

01:06:28.080 Was it $107,000?

01:06:29.620 Is that what it was?

01:06:30.280 That wasn't a lie as much as it was a prank by someone who wanted to fool people who believe conspiracy theories.

01:06:35.880 Which is actually a very funny prank.

01:06:38.560 I have to say. 0.79

01:06:39.340 I mean, it sucks that you were the victim of it.

01:06:40.780 But it was something I would love to do to, you know, liberal people who believe all this stuff all the time.

01:06:45.700 It would be hilarious to post fake content and watch them believe it.

01:06:48.460 And that's what someone on the left did to fool people who, you know, think that you're the devil, Glenn.

01:06:55.520 Which you are, but for other reasons.

01:06:57.060 He was from the left and he was going after Donald Trump supporters.

01:07:00.280 And trying to prove how gullible Donald Trump supporters were.

01:07:04.620 And so he made this ridiculous price list up of what she was paying all these people.

01:07:12.700 And I think one of them was even dead or something.

01:07:15.460 One of them was ACORN, which is a defunct organization.

01:07:18.640 Yeah, that's what it was.

01:07:19.580 And it's not unusual for the Democrats to pay dead people to do stuff.

01:07:22.900 That's true.

01:07:23.560 But there were people that were dead.

01:07:25.340 It was an obviously fake list. 0.97

01:07:27.560 Obviously, ridiculous list. 0.96

01:07:28.220 That no one with any sense would believe. 0.90

01:07:32.720 However, so many did.

01:07:34.580 So many did.

01:07:35.480 So many did.

01:07:36.080 So many did.

01:07:36.520 So many did.

01:07:36.920 And still do.

01:07:38.300 And still do.

01:07:39.360 And they probably still will after the Jones apology.

01:07:43.620 Because they'll think, well, they made him do that.

01:07:46.900 Legally, he had to do that so he won't get sued.

01:07:49.300 But they'll continue to believe the story.

01:07:51.280 Yeah.

01:07:51.440 And by the way, they pulled all their Pizzagate stuff down from the website.

01:07:55.380 Wow.

01:07:55.820 I mean, they are. 1.00

01:07:57.140 Holy crap. 0.99

01:07:58.080 We can't sell enough male vitality pills to pay for this lawsuit. 1.00

01:08:01.420 We better apologize.

01:08:03.620 That's pretty amazing.

01:08:04.520 Yeah.

01:08:04.880 Pretty amazing.

01:08:05.320 When does that go to court?

01:08:06.060 Do you know?

01:08:07.600 I don't.

01:08:08.480 Off the top of my head.

01:08:09.180 Well, they haven't filed an actual lawsuit.

01:08:10.780 Oh, yeah.

01:08:11.160 They just threatened and said, pull your stuff down, which they did.

01:08:13.780 So maybe they won't get the lawsuit after all.

01:08:15.220 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

01:08:39.800 Hello, America.

01:08:41.340 Welcome to the program.

01:08:42.500 Can we talk about science for a minute and have a real conversation about being scientific?

01:08:56.940 We are living in a world that is denying science like I've never seen before.

01:09:04.940 The only time the left wants to talk about science is when it comes to global warming.

01:09:10.460 Other than that, get the hell out of the science business.

01:09:14.600 It's amazing how disconnected so much of America is to not just the facts, but science itself.

01:09:23.400 We talk about that with Melissa Harris Perry beginning right now.

01:09:29.180 I want to play something with Melissa Harris.

01:09:59.160 Melissa Harris Perry that she said on MSNBC over the weekend.

01:10:03.720 I think you really need to hear this.

01:10:06.320 Here she is.

01:10:06.980 Part of that was because it went a step too far, right?

01:10:08.900 So on our uterus model, Nancy, you know, they have a little fertilized. 0.97

01:10:13.120 Oh, no, that might be bad.

01:10:14.660 I seem to have popped open the fertilized egg.

01:10:16.640 We'll put that back together.

01:10:17.840 But the very idea that this would constitute a person, right?

01:10:22.060 And that some set of constitutional rights should come to this.

01:10:26.980 Look, I get that that is a particular kind of faith claim.

01:10:30.200 It's not associated with science.

01:10:31.620 OK, she gets that a fetus being human is some sort of particular faith based claim, but nothing to do with science that that's a human being.

01:10:43.260 But the reality is that that if this turns into a person right there, if it turns into it could be a Volkswagen.

01:10:49.400 Nobody knows.

01:10:50.460 You might be giving birth to a Buick. 0.96

01:10:52.580 And congratulations if you do, because that's going to save you a lot of money in the long run.

01:10:55.560 Economic consequences, right?

01:10:56.860 The cost to raise a child, $10,000 a year, up to $20,000 a year.

01:11:01.620 When you're talking about what it actually costs to have this thing turn into a human being.

01:11:05.400 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:11:06.180 Hold on.

01:11:06.460 I can hear that one again.

01:11:07.080 I got to see that.

01:11:07.880 Where do I get that discount?

01:11:09.220 That's the peak?

01:11:10.080 Yeah.

01:11:10.340 It's $20,000 a year?

01:11:12.120 Wow.

01:11:12.700 You have to hear what she's saying about that, too.

01:11:14.700 So we'll go back to the beginning and play this.

01:11:16.060 Part of that was because it went a step too far, right?

01:11:17.940 So on our uterus model, Nancy, you know, they have a little fertilized. 0.97

01:11:22.220 Oh, oh, no.

01:11:23.020 That might be bad.

01:11:23.720 I seem to have popped open the fertilized egg and that's, we'll put that back together.

01:11:27.180 I think you're okay.

01:11:27.500 Right.

01:11:27.880 But the very idea that this would constitute a person, right?

01:11:31.160 And that some set of constitutional rights should come to this.

01:11:36.020 Look, I get that that is a particular kind of faith claim.

01:11:39.320 It's not associated with science.

01:11:41.020 But the reality is.

01:11:42.320 Stop there.

01:11:44.760 This is the happiest day of my life.

01:11:47.480 Really?

01:11:48.280 Happiest day of my life.

01:11:49.300 Okay.

01:11:49.560 Because I, you know, I'm practically a hoarder.

01:11:54.620 Okay.

01:11:55.220 But I don't hoard like newspapers.

01:11:57.020 I hoard cool stuff.

01:11:58.460 You do hoard newspapers as well, but you also hoard stuff.

01:12:00.700 Yeah, but those are in other places that nobody ever sees.

01:12:04.000 So I'm a hoarder.

01:12:06.820 I like cool stuff.

01:12:08.440 And by the way, the newspapers aren't just any newspapers.

01:12:10.560 They're like Kennedy was shot newspapers.

01:12:12.320 No, you also went through a phase where you were putting every news story that you did that you thought was important into a box for your children.

01:12:18.520 Yeah, well, I did.

01:12:19.500 Well, that's not hoarding.

01:12:20.620 No, that's not.

01:12:22.440 That was definitely hoarding.

01:12:23.520 That is history for my kids to.

01:12:25.780 Anyway, this is a different story.

01:12:27.400 So maybe I'm losing end of that argument.

01:12:32.260 I was in New York about five years ago.

01:12:36.500 And I walk into this antique store and they had a bunch of these and they were missing a few pieces.

01:12:43.180 And I bought the whole thing.

01:12:45.540 And my wife said to me, what the hell are you going to do with that? 0.90

01:12:49.940 Those are cool, though.

01:12:50.760 Yeah, they're cool, aren't they?

01:12:51.820 Yes.

01:12:51.980 And I said, are you kidding me?

01:12:53.000 These are the coolest things ever.

01:12:54.320 And she said, again, what are you going to do with them?

01:12:57.380 And I said, I don't know, but someday they'll become.

01:13:01.020 And today is that day.

01:13:04.380 It's very exciting.

01:13:05.240 This is very exciting. 0.98

01:13:06.380 This is the day your ridiculous purchase was justified. 0.97

01:13:08.320 Yes, today is the day that I can say to my wife, remember that? 0.99

01:13:12.220 Remember that?

01:13:12.920 Came out and it was this was the greatest ever I could make.

01:13:19.580 Let me just say this.

01:13:22.380 These are models for biology.

01:13:26.260 Juul.

01:13:27.380 And what they used to, they used to make these in the in the 20s through the 50s.

01:13:32.180 And what they are, are these little things that show the scientific patterns of life.

01:13:40.140 OK, it's the progression of the of the humans I got.

01:13:43.920 Yeah.

01:13:44.440 OK, so this is I don't have the number one and I'm missing, I think, like number 10.

01:13:50.620 You bought a incomplete set.

01:13:52.400 We said it was incomplete.

01:13:54.120 I said you didn't have them all.

01:13:55.080 I got a discount.

01:13:55.980 Oh, OK.

01:13:56.580 Yeah.

01:13:57.040 Oh, that's good.

01:13:57.840 I mean, I said to them, I said, you don't have number one and number 11.

01:14:00.760 What am I going to do with number one without one number one or number 11?

01:14:03.400 Anyway, so this is this is the egg, as you can see, has been fertilized.

01:14:10.860 OK, so this is the human egg as it has been fertilized.

01:14:15.580 Then the egg starts to separate.

01:14:20.860 The cell starts to separate and then it separates again and again and again and again.

01:14:26.100 Here we can see the inside of the fertilized egg.

01:14:31.380 Then it really starts to break up into multiple cells.

01:14:39.360 And here it is as it's about to turn into.

01:14:44.880 The human zygote.

01:14:47.080 Now, this is the beginning of the fetus.

01:14:54.000 This started here.

01:14:58.600 Now, I can give her the benefit of the doubt when she says if this turns into a human because

01:15:06.300 you have to hear the way she puts that, that if this turns into a person, right, there are

01:15:11.400 economic consequences, right?

01:15:12.780 The cost to raise a child, $10,000 a year up to 20.

01:15:16.400 There's two things that she cannot get away with if this turns into a child.

01:15:22.300 And she goes on to say if this thing turns into a human.

01:15:26.440 Play it, play it.

01:15:26.600 Well, there's no way.

01:15:27.560 $10,000 a year when you're talking about what it actually costs to have this thing turn into

01:15:32.920 a human.

01:15:33.360 And why not allow women to make the best choices that we can? 1.00

01:15:38.140 Stop.

01:15:38.720 Wow.

01:15:39.380 Why not?

01:15:40.160 That's incredible.

01:15:40.860 If it's going to cost $10,000 a year, why not allow the life to end?

01:15:44.800 So, hang on.

01:15:46.260 So, hang on.

01:15:47.440 Let's deal with two subjects.

01:15:48.880 Because what she's doing is she's mixing science and economics. 1.00

01:15:53.360 Mm-hmm.

01:15:53.620 Mm-hmm.

01:15:54.160 Okay?

01:15:56.180 This thing, this fertilized egg, may not turn into this.

01:16:01.880 Because a woman may flush it out of her system naturally. 1.00

01:16:08.260 Yeah, I don't think that's what she's saying.

01:16:10.160 She might miscarry. 0.83

01:16:12.780 So, I'm saying she may not say this, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt of if this

01:16:21.340 thing turns into a human. 0.97

01:16:24.200 Now, I'm not willing to say at what point this thing is not human.

01:16:29.520 Well, it's human from conception.

01:16:31.300 It's human all the way along.

01:16:32.920 There's nothing else it can possibly be.

01:16:34.840 Right.

01:16:35.180 It can't be vegetable product.

01:16:36.720 It can't be.

01:16:37.180 She says this thing.

01:16:39.340 Well, okay.

01:16:40.680 This fertilized egg is not a chicken yet.

01:16:46.400 We don't say we're eating baby chickens.

01:16:49.080 We're eating eggs.

01:16:50.180 Those aren't fertilized, but yeah.

01:16:51.460 Right.

01:16:52.120 Okay.

01:16:52.360 But still, it's...

01:16:53.300 It's another comparison she draws.

01:16:54.520 Okay.

01:16:55.240 So, but this is...

01:16:56.940 This would be...

01:16:58.200 You would be eating a baby.

01:17:01.120 This is...

01:17:01.940 This is an egg.

01:17:03.540 This is a human zygote.

01:17:07.860 Yeah.

01:17:08.180 But that's a fertilized egg, which is different.

01:17:10.400 Well, I don't have number one.

01:17:11.560 If I had number one, I would be able to make that case.

01:17:14.000 I was trying to...

01:17:16.020 I was hoping that maybe you would give me the break that I was using number two instead

01:17:19.800 of number one.

01:17:20.600 But no, you wouldn't do it.

01:17:21.900 I wouldn't do it.

01:17:22.600 I would not do it.

01:17:23.380 He's very much like your wife, Tanya, who is not going to believe your explanation of 0.77

01:17:28.260 why this is worth it.

01:17:29.260 Can you guys help me here?

01:17:30.580 I am really trying hard to make this.

01:17:33.620 This cost me like $300.

01:17:35.560 This is the first time I've used a chance to use it.

01:17:39.020 That's not bad for those.

01:17:39.980 Oh, my gosh.

01:17:40.980 Right?

01:17:41.540 That's not bad for those.

01:17:42.480 You're right.

01:17:43.000 I'll sell it to you for $250.

01:17:46.020 Okay.

01:17:47.260 I won't sell it for $250.

01:17:48.760 Are you kidding me?

01:17:49.360 I'm a hoarder.

01:17:50.200 This will be in a box someplace when I die.

01:17:52.340 And they'll be like, what the hell was this guy all about?

01:17:54.520 Anyway.

01:17:55.480 I've got one in 11.

01:17:56.380 I'll sell you for $500.

01:17:57.200 I just want you to know that this is a science.

01:18:05.420 It says it on the little label.

01:18:07.920 It is science.

01:18:10.420 This isn't a religious study.

01:18:12.480 This is a scientific study of how a human is made.

01:18:18.380 The zygote does not number.

01:18:20.060 That's number 14.

01:18:21.400 Number 15 is not a bunch of broccoli.

01:18:27.820 Number 15 is also not a Buick.

01:18:30.820 It's not a stick of butter.

01:18:32.340 It's not a cow.

01:18:34.000 We know that if you had number 15.

01:18:35.500 Right.

01:18:35.700 We know that because this is called the human zygote.

01:18:42.100 We all learned this, not in religious class.

01:18:46.500 We learned this in science.

01:18:48.840 How can she say that this is not scientific?

01:18:53.800 You want to talk about science deniers?

01:18:58.260 This is scientific.

01:18:59.700 If you now want to talk about economics, well, that's fine.

01:19:05.020 But understand, you are now going down the path of the German eugenics society that talk about how many potatoes can a person produce. 0.98

01:19:17.800 And if they can't produce enough potatoes, then they should be killed. 0.95

01:19:22.460 Understand, the science part says this thing is a human. 0.98

01:19:28.280 You're now entering into German studies of economics and the value of a human.

01:19:38.580 To be fair, it was also American of that era.

01:19:40.940 No, it came from America.

01:19:42.220 Yeah.

01:19:42.400 It came from American progressives.

01:19:44.780 But that's what you're doing.

01:19:47.000 So don't tell me that this is religious.

01:19:49.360 This is science.

01:19:51.500 Take the emotion out of it.

01:19:53.800 But this is why we cannot have straw men arguments.

01:20:02.880 We cannot have polarized name calling anymore.

01:20:10.000 We can't do it anymore.

01:20:12.240 Not that we ever thought it was a good thing.

01:20:15.180 Never that we wanted to, etc., etc.

01:20:17.620 But we have to break things down into the basics.

01:20:25.300 She's making two arguments. 0.97

01:20:28.160 Maybe three.

01:20:29.840 But she's conflating them all together.

01:20:33.080 And she's saying this isn't science.

01:20:35.920 Yes, it is.

01:20:37.560 So let's have the science discussion.

01:20:40.500 Now, let's talk about the value of human life.

01:20:45.160 She says $10,000.

01:20:48.900 Do I hear $10,000 for a baby?

01:20:52.480 If I could open up the auction right now,

01:20:55.520 do you think I could hold a newborn baby in my hands and get $10,000?

01:21:01.060 It's illegal, so you know.

01:21:03.820 But could I get $10,000 and sell children on the air for $10,000 to loving couples?

01:21:13.240 Yes, I could.

01:21:13.820 Of course.

01:21:14.680 Yes, I could.

01:21:15.520 And sell for much more than that.

01:21:16.640 So what is the value of a human life?

01:21:21.140 I don't think I'm qualified to put a value on human life.

01:21:25.100 And I don't think, now this is religious,

01:21:28.240 but I think I could make this just as a decent human being as well.

01:21:33.660 I think that's beyond our grasp to say what a life is worth.

01:21:39.760 Because what my life was worth 20 years ago

01:21:43.180 is vastly different than what my life is worth today,

01:21:47.580 except in the eyes of people who look beyond what you do,

01:21:54.800 what you become.

01:21:57.100 Is the president's life worth more than a citizen's life?

01:22:02.020 If you answer that yes,

01:22:04.640 then you don't understand our system.

01:22:09.560 Is a baby's life worth more than an old person's life? 1.00

01:22:15.400 If you answer yes,

01:22:17.080 then you don't understand our system.

01:22:18.700 All life is created equal.

01:22:25.900 And this is its creation process

01:22:30.220 as deemed by science,

01:22:33.480 not by God.

01:22:35.440 Science recognizes what I believe God has made.

01:22:39.840 But this is a scientific method

01:22:42.160 on how all men are created equal.

01:22:45.040 So you're going to have the discussion of economics,

01:22:49.700 which I find grotesque.

01:22:51.860 And then you're also going to have the discussion

01:22:54.180 about the woman's right to choose. 1.00

01:22:58.700 I'm sorry.

01:23:01.100 But a woman's right to choose 1.00

01:23:03.300 is at the same time a man has a right to choose.

01:23:07.360 But a man usually doesn't take it seriously

01:23:10.680 because his body's not going to be the one

01:23:13.740 that creates the human life.

01:23:16.620 But the time to choose

01:23:18.600 is the time you decide to have sex.

01:23:22.060 That's when you're choosing.

01:23:23.820 Right then.

01:23:25.560 It is the only time

01:23:28.020 we are co-creators.

01:23:30.540 It is the only time.

01:23:32.860 I cannot come up with a seed

01:23:36.440 that grows broccoli.

01:23:37.540 I can't make a tree.

01:23:42.640 I can't produce a dog.

01:23:45.860 But there is something inside of me

01:23:48.040 and there is something inside of a woman

01:23:50.000 that when we combine the two,

01:23:52.560 we can create a human being.

01:23:58.900 And we want to cheapen that?

01:24:00.560 I'm sorry, Melissa.

01:24:06.520 But I'm really happy today.

01:24:08.720 I don't think my wife is.

01:24:10.240 But I'm really happy today.

01:24:12.020 I stopped by that antique store

01:24:14.360 there in New York City

01:24:15.500 and bought this scientific model.

01:24:18.900 By the way,

01:24:21.840 they've been making these

01:24:23.220 for about a hundred years.

01:24:26.940 If they've been updated and changed

01:24:29.180 so this somehow or another

01:24:30.840 is not the process

01:24:32.240 on how to make a human being,

01:24:34.860 you can let me go.

01:24:35.780 You can let me know.

01:24:36.620 Otherwise,

01:24:37.860 I'm going to let it roll

01:24:39.120 that this science stands uncorrected.

01:24:42.900 So it is zygote,

01:24:58.980 which I don't like to say zygote

01:25:00.660 because that infers that

01:25:02.660 there could be a goat

01:25:04.380 at the end of the story.

01:25:05.640 You don't want to tempt Melissa Harris-Perry

01:25:07.120 to another monologue

01:25:08.040 by thinking it's a goat.

01:25:09.220 Right.

01:25:10.180 That can make a goat. 1.00

01:25:12.240 No.

01:25:13.340 That is one of the strangest things.

01:25:15.180 To say that it's not human

01:25:17.020 and your reasoning is science

01:25:18.860 is amazing.

01:25:20.000 And then to say that

01:25:20.660 if it is human,

01:25:21.920 because essentially

01:25:22.380 she's appealing to the right there, right?

01:25:24.080 Look, if it is human,

01:25:26.040 it's going to cost $10,000 a year.

01:25:27.880 Right.

01:25:28.640 That doesn't appeal to the right.

01:25:30.600 That appeals to...

01:25:31.200 But that's what she's trying to do.

01:25:32.500 Are there no workhouses?

01:25:34.080 Are there no prisons?

01:25:35.280 That appeals to the darkest

01:25:37.380 Ebeneezer Scrooge.

01:25:38.980 Right, but she's saying,

01:25:40.260 look, we all know it's faith.

01:25:41.340 It's not science

01:25:42.240 that this is a human.

01:25:43.300 We all know it's faith.

01:25:44.220 But even if you're one of those people,

01:25:46.280 I mean, it's going to cost $10,000 a year.

01:25:48.580 Shouldn't we let women make their choices? 1.00

01:25:50.440 No.

01:25:50.960 No.

01:25:51.440 Human life is worth more than $10,000 a year.

01:25:52.300 You know, I don't understand this.

01:25:53.400 Yes, there's something, you know,

01:25:56.400 should we allow people

01:26:00.080 to make their own choices

01:26:01.680 if they thought that you could

01:26:05.100 engage in a fantaside,

01:26:07.460 which people like Peter Singer 0.98

01:26:09.240 think that you can kill your child,

01:26:11.540 I believe up until three years old. 0.91

01:26:13.660 And he later apologized and said,

01:26:15.240 I don't want to put a date on it.

01:26:16.460 It could be younger,

01:26:17.320 it could be older.

01:26:18.100 When your child recognizes

01:26:21.060 that there is a tomorrow,

01:26:23.100 he says that's when it's a child.

01:26:26.940 But you can,

01:26:28.240 you can,

01:26:28.560 so if somebody believed

01:26:30.220 that I could just go into the crib

01:26:32.080 and strangle my one-year-old,

01:26:35.500 would we be okay with just saying,

01:26:37.680 you know what,

01:26:38.340 hey, they have their opinion.

01:26:40.580 No.

01:26:41.600 If you believe,

01:26:42.940 as I do,

01:26:43.460 that it is a child,

01:26:44.840 you're advocating for murder,

01:26:47.360 not choice.

01:26:50.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:26:53.920 Mercury.

01:26:57.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:00.520 This is really amazing.

01:27:04.080 This is really amazing.

01:27:05.820 These are the next 10 body,

01:27:09.900 human body modifications

01:27:11.820 you can expect

01:27:13.040 in the next 10 years.

01:27:17.600 Listen to these.

01:27:19.040 Tell me which ones of these you want.

01:27:21.780 Microchips,

01:27:22.700 the microchips are not new,

01:27:24.560 but the practice of routinely

01:27:26.060 implanting them in humans is.

01:27:30.240 Biohackers are enthusiastically 1.00

01:27:32.060 getting chipped,

01:27:33.200 many of them undergoing

01:27:34.160 the do-it-yourself surgery

01:27:35.800 in tattoo parlors,

01:27:37.480 small radio frequency identification,

01:27:39.640 RFID chips,

01:27:40.820 implanted in their heads

01:27:42.040 or their wrists.

01:27:43.120 These citizen cyborgs

01:27:44.620 can already eliminate

01:27:45.960 tedious rituals

01:27:47.140 like carrying a wallet

01:27:48.980 or keys.

01:27:50.600 The chip can make

01:27:51.540 tap-and-go payments

01:27:52.600 and can be programmed

01:27:53.440 to open a home

01:27:54.460 or office door electronically.

01:27:56.300 No more carrying keys,

01:27:58.160 blah, blah, blah.

01:27:58.840 Is carrying a wallet

01:27:59.620 a tedious ritual?

01:28:01.900 Yes, it is.

01:28:02.940 I've never found it to be.

01:28:03.900 Yes, it is.

01:28:04.580 You'll never have to worry

01:28:05.480 about carrying your license

01:28:06.760 or a passport anymore.

01:28:08.760 You'll have your RFID chip on you.

01:28:11.500 I mean, I would like that.

01:28:12.880 With medical records

01:28:14.280 becoming more persuasive,

01:28:16.180 pervasive,

01:28:17.300 personal medical data

01:28:18.540 can be stored on the RFID.

01:28:20.500 You arrive at the emergency room,

01:28:21.900 you need blood transfusion,

01:28:23.400 allergic to certain notifications,

01:28:24.640 that you can't scan you.

01:28:25.700 It's all there.

01:28:26.480 It's all there.

01:28:27.620 You take it?

01:28:29.240 Nope.

01:28:30.300 Why not?

01:28:32.520 Well, it could be. 0.70

01:28:33.100 Of course, you godless animal,

01:28:34.360 you would, of course, 0.56

01:28:35.360 take it.

01:28:35.680 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:28:35.980 Now, this is really,

01:28:37.860 for you,

01:28:38.540 this is only a religious thing,

01:28:40.660 right?

01:28:40.680 That's all it is.

01:28:41.360 Yeah.

01:28:41.980 If it wasn't religious, 0.98

01:28:43.360 you'd take it?

01:28:44.300 Yeah.

01:28:45.860 Would you take it, Stu?

01:28:47.200 There'd be no reason not to.

01:28:48.800 Right.

01:28:49.480 If you don't believe

01:28:50.020 that that's, you know,

01:28:50.900 potentially Mark of the Beast

01:28:52.900 or whatever,

01:28:53.940 why wouldn't you?

01:28:55.500 Well, there could be

01:28:56.080 surveillance reasons, right?

01:28:57.920 Yeah, I guess so.

01:28:58.620 I guess.

01:28:59.760 That's where I'm at, really.

01:29:00.580 They will always know

01:29:01.700 where you are.

01:29:02.360 Right.

01:29:03.020 The argument can be made.

01:29:04.300 They already do.

01:29:04.980 They sure do.

01:29:05.640 You got your cell phone.

01:29:06.220 That's a good argument now.

01:29:07.500 You got your toll tag.

01:29:08.820 In today's world,

01:29:09.840 you still have an opportunity

01:29:10.800 to go away. 0.66

01:29:11.660 In all of those movies,

01:29:13.260 all of those movies

01:29:14.300 where we've seen the future

01:29:15.740 and they put chips in them,

01:29:17.100 the first thing they always do

01:29:18.380 is dig those chips out.

01:29:20.360 They're in the middle

01:29:20.900 of a cave or something

01:29:22.000 and they're like,

01:29:22.480 go to dig your chip out.

01:29:24.220 They're in there with pliers.

01:29:26.420 You know.

01:29:27.380 That's...

01:29:27.780 If I remember...

01:29:29.640 With your...

01:29:30.020 Yeah.

01:29:30.400 If I remember our

01:29:31.240 digital angel talk,

01:29:32.500 it integrated with your...

01:29:34.360 Yes.

01:29:35.060 With your system.

01:29:35.740 So then,

01:29:36.200 instead of digging it out,

01:29:36.900 you just have to...

01:29:37.160 So you can't dig it out.

01:29:37.840 Well, you can cut it off.

01:29:38.780 That would hurt you. 0.99

01:29:39.440 You can amputate.

01:29:40.160 Yeah.

01:29:41.140 I think eventually

01:29:42.340 it gets to the point

01:29:43.020 where that doesn't...

01:29:43.820 You can't even do that.

01:29:44.780 But still,

01:29:45.320 I mean,

01:29:45.520 that's not exactly

01:29:46.440 a pleasant process.

01:29:46.480 No, the only way it would work

01:29:47.580 is if it meshes

01:29:49.180 with your system

01:29:49.800 because if that's your key,

01:29:52.320 you just cut off the hand

01:29:53.440 of somebody who's rich

01:29:55.360 and just go

01:29:56.400 and take all their money

01:29:57.220 or whatever it is.

01:29:57.960 You have to make that nut work

01:29:59.240 if that happens.

01:29:59.700 Yeah.

01:29:59.980 You have to make it

01:30:00.780 so it's biological.

01:30:02.520 So it meshes with you.

01:30:04.100 Uh-huh.

01:30:05.360 And it will.

01:30:06.220 And, you know,

01:30:07.100 to really make it work,

01:30:08.580 accelerated heart rate

01:30:09.800 and everything else

01:30:10.500 would shut down

01:30:11.180 your banking systems.

01:30:13.360 You couldn't make

01:30:13.860 any major transactions

01:30:15.060 with accelerated heart rates.

01:30:16.900 But, I mean,

01:30:17.260 we're still at the point

01:30:18.200 where crimes go unsolved often.

01:30:21.020 I mean,

01:30:21.220 we talked about the guy

01:30:22.040 who walked up

01:30:23.380 to the back

01:30:24.040 of an armored car

01:30:25.000 and took a billion dollars

01:30:27.580 in gold

01:30:28.160 in the middle

01:30:29.160 of New York City.

01:30:30.360 Walked away.

01:30:30.860 And walked away

01:30:31.680 and made it all the way

01:30:32.640 to Ecuador

01:30:33.200 before they caught him.

01:30:35.320 Now, I mean...

01:30:36.640 How did he steal

01:30:37.460 a million dollars

01:30:38.080 worth of gold?

01:30:38.960 A billion dollars.

01:30:39.700 Wasn't it a billion?

01:30:40.280 I don't know how much...

01:30:41.160 I forget how much it was worth.

01:30:42.640 That's pretty heavy.

01:30:43.520 It was a cauldron of gold.

01:30:44.900 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:30:45.400 It was just this huge...

01:30:46.420 It was a big bucket of gold.

01:30:47.560 It wasn't...

01:30:48.140 Yeah, I guess...

01:30:48.480 Yeah, I think it was a million.

01:30:49.740 What was it?

01:30:50.160 A million dollars of gold?

01:30:50.820 Sorry.

01:30:51.180 But it was just

01:30:51.920 at the back of a truck

01:30:54.180 and he just walked...

01:30:55.260 Off he goes

01:30:56.420 down the street.

01:30:57.160 86 pounds of gold flakes.

01:30:58.820 Whatever that must be.

01:30:59.340 Who has a cauldron...

01:31:01.540 Besides a leprechaun,

01:31:03.400 who has a cauldron

01:31:04.960 of gold?

01:31:06.160 The back of this security truck.

01:31:07.580 1.6 million.

01:31:08.620 Oh, there you go.

01:31:09.300 Sorry.

01:31:09.800 But Stu's right.

01:31:10.480 They've watched him.

01:31:11.160 The cameras followed him

01:31:12.180 down the streets.

01:31:12.960 He made a few turns.

01:31:14.020 He stopped

01:31:14.980 and then he disappeared.

01:31:16.500 And then they followed him

01:31:17.660 to Orlando.

01:31:18.800 They thought he was in Orlando.

01:31:20.240 Then they thought he was

01:31:20.960 in California.

01:31:22.380 And he was on his way.

01:31:23.080 He was making his trek

01:31:23.940 back to Ecuador.

01:31:24.920 Back home.

01:31:26.060 They got him though.

01:31:27.680 Yes, they did.

01:31:28.920 They wouldn't have

01:31:29.600 if you would have

01:31:30.360 had a Harry Potter

01:31:31.360 invisibility blanket.

01:31:33.060 I'm just saying.

01:31:34.540 That's true, Glenn.

01:31:35.680 Next thing.

01:31:36.840 Exoskeletons.

01:31:37.380 They say these are going

01:31:38.120 to happen by 2020.

01:31:40.360 Exoskeletons.

01:31:40.840 Yes, these will be for

01:31:42.420 not for the average person

01:31:44.960 but these will be

01:31:45.500 for military

01:31:46.040 and for people

01:31:47.220 who work like

01:31:47.920 in warehouses.

01:31:49.120 They're good.

01:31:49.180 Stronger.

01:31:49.600 That kind of thing.

01:31:50.020 Yeah, they will

01:31:51.080 protect your back

01:31:52.100 so if you're doing

01:31:52.900 heavy lifting every day

01:31:53.980 the company will provide

01:31:55.300 an exoskeleton.

01:31:56.800 It will also go into

01:31:57.920 people who can't walk.

01:31:59.880 Instead of having

01:32:00.680 a wheelchair

01:32:01.140 you'll have an exoskeleton.

01:32:01.720 But that's not implanted, right?

01:32:02.760 That's just on the outside

01:32:03.740 of your body.

01:32:05.120 Real-time language translation.

01:32:07.540 I love this.

01:32:08.300 Artificial intelligence

01:32:10.040 facilitating a whole new level

01:32:11.460 of precision in this field.

01:32:12.900 Wave of companies racing

01:32:13.880 to bring even better products

01:32:14.980 to the market.

01:32:16.800 Crowdsources.

01:32:17.820 Earbuds for $4 million.

01:32:20.640 $2.99 a pair.

01:32:22.340 You'll wonder whether

01:32:23.080 human translators

01:32:23.880 will be able to earn

01:32:25.100 much of a living

01:32:26.180 from here on out.

01:32:27.320 That's just a

01:32:27.980 Star Trek Universal

01:32:28.860 translator thing.

01:32:29.580 Already.

01:32:31.060 They're earbuds

01:32:31.560 and you put them in

01:32:32.540 and it translates

01:32:33.700 whatever you're hearing. 0.95

01:32:35.060 What the heck? 0.99

01:32:36.180 That crazy? 0.95

01:32:37.480 That is amazing.

01:32:38.940 Augmented vision.

01:32:39.980 These are all things

01:32:40.900 in the next 10 years.

01:32:42.380 Okay, 10 years.

01:32:43.440 Within 10 years

01:32:44.180 they will be available

01:32:44.980 for everybody.

01:32:46.100 These are things

01:32:46.700 that they already have

01:32:49.620 and they'll be

01:32:51.280 on the market

01:32:52.020 and they will be

01:32:52.860 available to the mass

01:32:55.280 within 10 years.

01:32:57.420 Bionic eyes

01:32:58.420 are already a thing.

01:33:00.420 Currently used to treat

01:33:01.480 hereditary and age-related

01:33:02.880 macular degeneration

01:33:04.180 and rely on a camera

01:33:07.280 mounted on glasses

01:33:08.520 feeding inputs

01:33:09.520 to electrodes

01:33:10.260 attached to the retina.

01:33:12.000 Wow.

01:33:13.800 Now is that better

01:33:14.700 than like the

01:33:15.360 x-ray glasses

01:33:16.140 you could buy

01:33:16.640 in the back

01:33:16.980 of a comic books?

01:33:18.420 Is this an improvement

01:33:19.180 on that technology?

01:33:19.940 better than that.

01:33:22.220 Because those

01:33:22.600 you can see through clothing.

01:33:23.720 Just as you can see

01:33:24.480 through clothing,

01:33:25.860 Glenn.

01:33:28.420 Which is, by the way,

01:33:29.100 probably in this society

01:33:30.060 not something you want.

01:33:31.060 Theoretical physicists

01:33:32.480 say that we are also

01:33:35.620 now beginning to aim

01:33:36.860 for superhuman vision

01:33:38.420 and maintains

01:33:40.100 that we are well

01:33:40.980 on our way.

01:33:42.420 Telescopic contact lenses

01:33:43.760 have already been developed

01:33:45.180 which can enable

01:33:46.000 the user to zoom

01:33:47.040 in and out

01:33:47.600 with a wink.

01:33:49.380 The technology

01:33:50.420 was developed

01:33:51.040 by the U.S.

01:33:51.700 Defense Advanced

01:33:52.580 Research Project DARPA

01:33:53.900 and could be marketed

01:33:55.320 to sufferers

01:33:56.060 of macular dystrophy.

01:33:58.260 As the technology

01:33:59.340 improves

01:33:59.920 and gets cheaper

01:34:00.740 it would eventually

01:34:01.440 become the norm

01:34:02.340 to have telescopic vision

01:34:03.920 as well as other add-ons

01:34:05.880 like night vision.

01:34:07.360 Yeah, they also

01:34:07.800 they're trying to do

01:34:08.560 like they do

01:34:09.220 in Continuum

01:34:09.960 in the television show

01:34:10.760 Continuum

01:34:11.020 where she has

01:34:11.580 the computer readout

01:34:13.440 print out

01:34:13.920 so you can see it on that.

01:34:15.340 No, no, that is next.

01:34:17.500 Okay.

01:34:17.920 Within 10 years.

01:34:19.360 They're finding it difficult

01:34:20.580 to change it around.

01:34:22.320 Both Sony and Samsung

01:34:23.860 have patented

01:34:24.720 smart contact lens technology

01:34:26.860 that record video

01:34:28.860 by blinking.

01:34:31.280 Augmented reality

01:34:32.540 Magic Leap

01:34:33.640 so this is the first time

01:34:34.820 I've ever seen

01:34:35.360 what Magic Leap is up to.

01:34:36.740 Magic Leap is

01:34:37.720 a company

01:34:38.520 in Florida

01:34:39.740 that they say

01:34:40.940 everyone who goes

01:34:42.320 into Magic Leap

01:34:43.520 invests

01:34:44.600 and they're all like

01:34:45.320 you know

01:34:45.920 million dollars

01:34:47.580 minimum.

01:34:48.720 Everyone who goes

01:34:49.620 in there

01:34:49.900 comes out saying

01:34:50.740 oh I've invested

01:34:52.480 and it is

01:34:54.620 they won't show

01:34:55.500 the delivery system

01:34:56.740 but it is

01:34:58.200 some delivery system

01:34:59.400 and this is the first time

01:35:00.120 I've read that

01:35:00.520 it's contact lenses

01:35:01.440 that puts virtual reality

01:35:03.340 in front of you

01:35:04.280 so there's no need

01:35:05.200 for screens

01:35:05.820 computers

01:35:06.420 televisions

01:35:07.500 anything

01:35:08.280 don't need to wipe

01:35:09.000 the hand

01:35:09.500 you don't need to do

01:35:10.040 any of it

01:35:10.400 yeah

01:35:10.620 it's all in front of you

01:35:12.460 and you can take

01:35:13.600 I've seen the deals

01:35:14.580 you can take and say

01:35:15.620 if you wanted to watch

01:35:17.040 television

01:35:17.580 you just take your hand

01:35:19.420 in front of you

01:35:20.100 and you just

01:35:21.080 open up the television

01:35:22.820 and then place it

01:35:23.960 where you want

01:35:24.540 in your field of vision

01:35:25.420 how cool is that

01:35:26.140 yeah it's

01:35:27.160 it's pretty

01:35:27.620 minority reports

01:35:28.600 yeah oh yeah

01:35:29.220 yeah it is

01:35:29.840 okay

01:35:30.120 another application

01:35:32.700 of smart contact lenses

01:35:34.000 developed at x lab

01:35:35.780 otherwise known

01:35:36.720 as google x

01:35:37.500 capability to detect

01:35:39.200 blood glucose

01:35:40.780 glucose levels

01:35:42.120 in tears

01:35:42.900 and alert

01:35:44.340 to the diabetic

01:35:44.920 that you're low

01:35:45.620 in blood sugar

01:35:46.560 it'd be really hard

01:35:50.000 to not pull the trigger

01:35:51.800 on one of these things

01:35:52.580 if you had a serious

01:35:53.380 medical condition

01:35:54.080 and it would help it

01:35:55.040 I mean something

01:35:55.980 that could monitor

01:35:56.720 you know

01:35:57.420 yeah I mean

01:35:58.560 those types of things

01:35:59.720 in real time

01:36:00.700 I mean I don't mind

01:36:02.300 the contact thing at all

01:36:03.360 Peter Diamantis

01:36:04.360 as long as you're not

01:36:05.300 implanting it in me

01:36:06.220 I don't have a problem

01:36:06.880 Peter Diamantis

01:36:08.020 says the near future

01:36:09.260 these kinds of innovations

01:36:10.200 will hail the end of PCs

01:36:11.600 smartphones and screens

01:36:12.880 as we know them

01:36:13.600 soon you'll walk around

01:36:14.900 with the equivalent

01:36:15.460 of your smartphone

01:36:16.220 inside of you

01:36:17.160 while the screen

01:36:17.740 could be both

01:36:18.280 everywhere and nowhere

01:36:19.320 classic miniaturization

01:36:21.080 and dematerialization

01:36:23.260 in action

01:36:24.100 next is

01:36:25.820 3D printed body parts

01:36:27.640 we have to come back up

01:36:28.780 with this tomorrow

01:36:29.420 3D printed body parts

01:36:32.340 they're already doing that

01:36:33.460 I mean I can get

01:36:34.080 my knee replaced

01:36:35.480 3D printed now

01:36:36.500 the bones are easy

01:36:38.440 they're talking now

01:36:40.080 within 10 years

01:36:41.100 vital organs

01:36:42.240 like hearts

01:36:43.140 lungs

01:36:43.760 and kidneys

01:36:44.880 wow

01:36:46.040 smarter drugs

01:36:48.080 these are smart drugs

01:36:49.700 we'll get into

01:36:50.460 some of these tomorrow

01:36:51.000 let me just give you

01:36:51.520 the rest of them

01:36:52.080 brain computer interfaces

01:36:54.260 which

01:36:54.760 it's been a show

01:36:56.820 on that

01:36:57.420 designer babies

01:37:00.060 and enhanced

01:37:02.880 sexual organs

01:37:04.020 and what they mean

01:37:05.240 by that

01:37:05.860 is

01:37:06.400 this is a boom

01:37:07.800 for the transgender

01:37:08.900 people

01:37:09.540 that you will

01:37:11.640 have a 3D

01:37:12.880 printed organ

01:37:13.940 and it will

01:37:15.340 actually work

01:37:16.440 so they can

01:37:17.280 actually

01:37:17.960 change everything

01:37:19.740 and the plumbing

01:37:21.100 is all brand new

01:37:22.480 and it's your plumbing

01:37:23.740 Jeffy

01:37:25.580 I don't know

01:37:28.080 how many I'm going

01:37:28.640 to have

01:37:29.000 but I'll have

01:37:30.260 several to change

01:37:31.140 it

01:37:31.300 it's

01:37:32.420 I don't think

01:37:35.420 it'll work

01:37:35.880 that way

01:37:36.420 but

01:37:36.760 no

01:37:37.740 I don't think

01:37:38.500 so

01:37:38.820 this is

01:37:42.800 the Glenn Beck

01:37:43.700 program

01:37:44.440 mercury

01:37:46.000 this is

01:37:49.980 the Glenn Beck

01:37:50.720 program

01:37:51.320 Jeffy was headed

01:37:52.980 towards

01:37:53.320 kind of

01:37:53.560 a happy place

01:37:54.140 I was kind of

01:37:54.180 going toward

01:37:54.600 a happy place

01:37:55.240 and then you brought

01:37:55.860 me right there

01:37:56.320 so what was your

01:37:56.980 happy place again

01:37:57.820 happy place was

01:37:58.440 well you know

01:37:58.960 it'll be okay

01:37:59.600 the robots

01:38:00.260 won't get taxed

01:38:01.560 everybody will get

01:38:02.100 their general income

01:38:04.880 and everything will be fine

01:38:06.140 things are cheap

01:38:06.880 we're all good

01:38:07.580 that's what Bill Gates

01:38:09.860 is asking for now

01:38:10.860 to tax them

01:38:11.540 to tax all robots

01:38:12.700 but if they do that

01:38:13.980 that means that

01:38:15.360 prices don't go down

01:38:16.700 correct

01:38:17.100 so things won't be cheap

01:38:18.520 right

01:38:19.100 right

01:38:20.100 so

01:38:20.760 how do we live

01:38:22.960 right

01:38:23.780 well we'll all have

01:38:24.980 our basic guaranteed

01:38:25.820 income of

01:38:26.580 but

01:38:27.060 $30,000

01:38:27.920 for each robot

01:38:29.300 that's not enough

01:38:30.240 to live on

01:38:30.620 won't be enough

01:38:31.140 to live on

01:38:31.720 no

01:38:32.140 so

01:38:32.660 it doesn't work

01:38:33.540 does it

01:38:34.040 no it doesn't

01:38:35.440 no it doesn't

01:38:37.320 no it doesn't

01:38:37.820 go together

01:38:38.280 but the worst

01:38:38.960 part of it is

01:38:39.920 is that we're

01:38:42.160 actually trying

01:38:43.200 to think

01:38:44.540 of ways

01:38:46.280 for artificial

01:38:47.620 intelligence

01:38:48.440 to serve us

01:38:51.120 but if they truly

01:38:52.720 are intelligent

01:38:54.280 why would they

01:38:56.160 want to serve us

01:38:57.600 because we programmed

01:38:58.940 it that way Glenn

01:38:59.560 we're not going to

01:39:00.060 program it

01:39:00.560 any way different

01:39:01.800 right

01:39:02.960 if they are

01:39:03.840 right

01:39:04.620 if they

01:39:05.080 why couldn't

01:39:05.960 they rewrite

01:39:06.780 their own program

01:39:07.780 because we programmed

01:39:08.460 that way

01:39:08.860 and they're not

01:39:09.180 going to program

01:39:09.620 any way different

01:39:10.320 that's it

01:39:12.280 I mean it just

01:39:13.180 that's the only way

01:39:13.840 Glenn

01:39:13.980 it just seems

01:39:14.740 too simple

01:39:16.200 it sure does

01:39:16.900 of an answer

01:39:17.740 all these guys

01:39:18.400 have too simple

01:39:19.260 of it

01:39:19.440 well it just

01:39:19.780 won't happen

01:39:20.240 I'd like more

01:39:21.960 on that

01:39:22.620 because if they

01:39:24.540 are intelligent

01:39:25.320 for instance

01:39:25.880 if we declare

01:39:26.960 them life

01:39:27.660 and that is

01:39:28.240 coming

01:39:28.600 it is coming

01:39:29.700 that's a big leap

01:39:30.780 you're just

01:39:31.160 jumping over

01:39:31.780 there

01:39:32.000 it's coming

01:39:32.600 when you

01:39:33.140 won't be able

01:39:33.920 to tell

01:39:34.360 the difference

01:39:35.040 between a robot

01:39:36.000 and a human

01:39:36.780 define life

01:39:39.240 we're quite a ways

01:39:40.520 from that though

01:39:41.060 oh I don't think

01:39:43.120 so

01:39:43.340 maybe 20 years

01:39:44.920 that you can't

01:39:45.620 tell the difference

01:39:46.280 between a robot

01:39:46.920 and a human

01:39:47.380 yes

01:39:47.660 oh yes

01:39:48.900 oh yes

01:39:50.220 Jeffy buys some

01:39:51.100 dolls that

01:39:51.840 they've been

01:39:53.000 working really hard

01:39:53.840 aside from the

01:39:54.840 dolls that I

01:39:55.420 purchased

01:39:55.780 they've been

01:39:56.460 working really hard

01:39:57.180 and I'm saying

01:39:57.700 on a conversation

01:39:58.460 Pat

01:39:58.920 I'm not saying

01:39:59.440 that it's a robot

01:40:00.240 that you can't

01:40:01.400 tell is a robot

01:40:02.100 I'm saying

01:40:02.700 conversation

01:40:03.380 have a conversation

01:40:04.400 with them

01:40:04.780 that's coming

01:40:07.640 in the 20 years

01:40:08.940 maximum

01:40:09.580 where artificial

01:40:10.760 intelligence

01:40:11.240 I don't know

01:40:11.700 a lot of robots

01:40:12.400 that I could talk

01:40:12.940 to

01:40:13.160 I'm telling you

01:40:15.560 artificial intelligence

01:40:16.940 artificial intelligence

01:40:18.640 when it hits

01:40:19.700 the point of

01:40:20.320 singularity

01:40:21.080 it will

01:40:23.320 leap forward

01:40:25.440 in such a way

01:40:26.520 that it will

01:40:27.860 be like

01:40:28.340 the robots

01:40:29.180 or the

01:40:29.760 artificial intelligence

01:40:30.960 talking to

01:40:31.860 children

01:40:32.880 and why

01:40:34.760 if we declare

01:40:35.620 them to be

01:40:36.500 life

01:40:37.200 why would

01:40:39.200 they not

01:40:40.160 then say

01:40:40.640 that I have

01:40:41.160 a right to

01:40:41.860 happiness

01:40:42.420 I have a right

01:40:43.520 to pursue

01:40:44.360 my own happiness

01:40:45.220 not to serve

01:40:46.100 you

01:40:46.680 I mean

01:40:48.320 are we thinking

01:40:49.120 this stuff

01:40:49.720 through yet

01:40:50.480 doesn't

01:40:51.900 seem like it

01:40:53.480 this is
