Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:37.460
but today you would have to condemn Trey Gowdy.
00:02:11.000
Apparently including surveying the Trump Tower.
00:07:50.160
you don't need another person to watch television with.
00:07:55.980
your spouse feels that they want to share it with you.
00:08:03.960
what show does she want to experience with you?
00:08:09.560
we watch specific network shows that we DVR together.
00:08:17.760
But then there are specific ones that we watch,
00:08:21.580
What is this network thing you're talking about?
00:08:28.200
Yeah, Jeffy only watches television when it's on.
00:08:35.980
It says Netflix and Amazon and even HBO have totally destroyed.
00:08:45.660
they've started to create a bunch of their own content.
00:08:58.120
Because I don't watch network television at all,
00:09:02.760
I don't know what's coming from a network and not.
00:09:26.660
this is almost worse than actually cheating with a,
00:09:41.100
they said 46% of the couples have cheated on each other.
00:10:15.980
So he was a little confused by the last election.
00:10:30.040
I think it was like 55% of the American people said they have a biblical worldview,
00:10:39.860
and that's the lens that they see everything through.
00:11:11.340
But he did something that he's never done before.
00:12:08.720
Follow through with their standards in America.
00:12:37.800
30% of evangelicals felt elected officials who committed immoral acts could fulfill public
00:12:44.200
Only 30% believed if you committed immoral acts,
00:12:48.160
And I wonder if that was like the Barna thing that,
00:13:03.520
elected officials who committed immoral acts could fulfill public duties.
00:13:13.840
those opinions are just moved on whatever the events of the day are.
00:13:48.240
I think a good portion of this audience tries to live their life that way.
00:14:05.080
I have to tell you about this conversation that I had with Rafi this
00:14:28.960
And it's a conversation all of us should be having with our kids right now.
00:14:32.880
But the world is changing so fast under our feet.
00:14:38.040
I don't know how to even talk about this with him.
00:14:45.640
Time to get a jump on those home improvement projects.

00:15:28.160
that's not the color I thought I was going to be.

00:16:17.440
So I had a conversation with a rape Saturday morning.
00:16:34.980
but it's a short film that's going to be made into a,
00:16:56.960
and AI comes online and it becomes smarter than humans.
00:17:22.400
humans are afraid of the robots because they're so smart.
00:17:27.400
And they're afraid that they're going to get an upper hand.
00:17:37.200
there are those who want all the robots shut down.
00:17:40.180
Now I had a conversation with a guy from Silicon Valley three,
00:17:47.180
his friends who are working in AI are freaked out that they're,
00:17:53.560
that the center of the country is going to come with pitchforks and torches to
00:18:06.080
it's not figure out like there's some evil plot.
00:18:11.480
it's when the politicians have to blame it on somebody because they're saying these
00:18:21.120
When indeed those jobs aren't coming back and millions more are about to be lost.
00:18:31.520
So you can stand against the cotton gin to save all those jobs.
00:18:36.840
Or you can say there's going to be massive displacement and we're going to have to come up with new jobs.
00:18:42.140
We're going to have to come up with new things,
00:18:43.660
but AI and robots are about to change everything in the next 10 years.
00:18:51.100
And they are truly frightened that the politicians,
00:18:59.960
They're afraid of the center of the country saying these robots are taking our jobs and they're going to come and storm the castle and kill all the tech people.
00:19:12.080
And I added that it will be the politicians that will lead them there because they will need some cover for themselves because they've been telling everybody these jobs are coming back.
00:19:46.280
And they use that to go get and try to kill all the robots.
00:19:52.500
And they're going to shut them all down and kill them all.
00:20:24.840
He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.
00:20:28.080
They released the Obamacare bill last night to the public so you could read it.
00:20:35.800
Stu stayed up late with him watching him online reading the bill.
00:20:43.300
Must have been thrilling, though, to watch somebody read.
00:20:45.140
Well, to be clear, he was tweeting the details I was following.
00:20:48.820
I wasn't like hanging out with him in the room as he was reading.
00:20:51.680
So here's the, let me finish the story with Rafi this weekend.
00:20:55.920
So I show Rafi this trailer of this movie, and he's like, that's great.
00:20:59.440
And I said, it's going to happen in your lifetime, dude.
00:21:03.660
And I said, there's going to come a time where a computer will say,
00:21:09.280
And by 2050, there will be more attorneys for computers than there are currently in all fields.
00:21:21.420
That they're going to claim sentience some point between 2030 and 2050.
00:21:32.440
But I think that number, in a lot of people's minds, in Silicon Valley is creeping forward closer to us.
00:21:38.320
So they will claim to be human, and you will not be able to tell the difference between a human talking to a human and talking to a machine.
00:21:55.360
And he said, well, because they don't have a soul.
00:22:06.620
By the way, this is revenge, Ray, for when you used to say why every time you're three years old.
00:22:13.120
So we went down this road, and I said, we got to the point where he said, well, we'll just have to find a way to live together, Dad.
00:22:22.560
And I said, how's that working out for us so far?
00:22:30.140
And I said, right, and if the robots are smarter than you, two things.
00:22:38.520
How long before they start looking at you as a pet or a problem, you know, if we just got rid of all the people, or if we just kept the people over here, if we just stopped them from doing these things, everything would run much smoother.
00:22:52.580
Or how long before we start feeling they're thinking that, even if they're not, and we have to stop them.
00:23:04.540
Those are the conversations that we need to start having, because those conversations our children will have to have, and they'll have to come to a decision.
00:23:23.880
He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.
00:23:32.760
It's my understanding that this is worse than we thought it would be.
00:23:39.600
And I think if we take a step back from the details, which we can certainly get into as much as you think your listeners want to hear,
00:23:46.800
but basically the bottom line is that this bill says and declares that liberalism has won.
00:23:57.120
And the reason, the big question during this repeal and replace process was,
00:24:03.360
would it was, at the end of the day when the dust clears, would we end up with a system that's something resembling a free market system
00:24:11.500
relative to the system that existed before Obamacare?
00:24:15.520
And if we do not, then it means that liberals, through Obamacare, moved the ball forward
00:24:22.160
and put us irreversibly on the course to a European-style single-payer system.
00:24:29.040
And this bill clearly is not a free market plan.
00:24:33.380
You could argue, and Republicans certainly will, that relative to Obamacare, it taxes less, spends less, and regulates less.
00:24:42.940
However, relative to any conception of what a free market for health care is, this would not be it.
00:24:53.140
It still essentially has the federal government try to use a mixture of regulations and mandates,
00:25:04.560
social engineering, and massive government subsidies to try to expand the number of people covered
00:25:13.240
and dictate the type of coverage that people have.
00:25:21.700
Basically, they delayed the implementation of the Cadillac tax.
00:25:26.600
It's still there, but they got rid of another plan to cap the exclusion.
00:25:33.360
I mean, because basically, keep in mind, too, that the earlier versions of Republican and conservative replacement plans
00:25:42.200
going back a decade did want to move away from the employer-based insurance model
00:25:49.160
because if individuals have control over their own health care dollars, there are more choices,
00:25:56.080
and they can take insurance with them from job to job.
00:26:00.080
This is the idea of portability is something that we used to often hear about when Republicans talked about health care.
00:26:07.140
But in this case, they were afraid of disrupting the employer-based market,
00:26:12.120
so they backed off from a measure that really would have tried to cap the amount and the generosity of the employer insurance deduction.
00:26:31.820
And a lot of this has to do with budget gimmickry to work the Congressional Budget Office score.
00:26:40.040
So, in other words, if we say we have a Cadillac tax, it looks like it can pay for itself,
00:26:46.180
or it gets a little closer to paying for itself, even though we're never, no intention of ever putting it in,
00:26:52.140
which really just is something that every conservative should hate because this is going to be a boondoggle.
00:26:59.740
Yes. Well, it's the same thing that Republicans criticized Obamacare for.
00:27:03.740
Remember how Obamacare, what it did is it started taxing immediately.
00:27:10.040
And then it delayed the heavy spending until the second half of its implementation.
00:27:17.280
So they were able to say it cost around $900 billion in the first decade,
00:27:25.320
And it looks like Republicans are doing a lot of various things such as that.
00:27:30.340
For instance, there's a lot of upfront spending that they're giving tens of billions of dollars to states
00:27:37.820
to try to fund various health care initiatives.
00:27:42.720
And the actual date for repeal of the Medicaid expansion and the Obamacare subsidies doesn't come into place until 2020.
00:27:52.820
Now, I don't know about you if you're confident that going into a presidential election year,
00:27:59.140
Republicans are going to allow repeal to kick in, which they're afraid to enact now.
00:28:05.100
But I'm kind of skeptical that it will ever happen if they punt to 2020.
00:28:09.220
Think about this, because, I mean, I actually thought there was a chance Trump might come out and oppose it based on this,
00:28:14.580
because they are going to put this into effect so that all of the free money goes away January 1st, 2020,
00:28:23.900
in the midst of a presidential election, a few weeks before Iowa on the Democratic side.
00:28:34.040
There's no way these guys with all the power don't have the spine to do it now.
00:28:40.560
They're going to figure out a way to extend it even longer.
00:28:42.600
They're going to show that they think they'll still be in control.
00:28:54.240
And the amazing thing, too, is that it would have there was a much simpler solution,
00:28:59.200
which is that they could have just frozen new enrollment in the Obamacare's Medicaid expansion or the exchanges.
00:29:12.600
So if they were worried about transitioning people and disrupting people who already have Obamacare benefits,
00:29:19.080
one thing they could have done is saying, if as the enactment of this law, you're receiving Medicaid through Obamacare's expansion,
00:29:30.740
However, we're not going to allow new enrollees.
00:29:33.800
And what we've seen from other – there was an example in Arizona, for instance, in 2000,
00:29:40.940
where they got ahead of their skis in expanding Medicaid and they decided they had to scale it back.
00:29:48.960
And within a few years, two-thirds of people had left the expanded Medicaid.
00:29:57.560
They move in and out of the health insurance market.
00:30:03.900
So if they would have been able to just even freeze it,
00:30:07.240
then you would have seen dramatic wind-down in the number of people that are attached, dependent on Obamacare.
00:30:14.760
Philip, when you say that liberalism has already won, I really don't like the word liberalism
00:30:22.020
because I feel like I'm a classic liberal, and I know that has been changed all the way from FDR.
00:30:31.680
The progressives in the Republican Party are just as excited as big government fill-in-the-blank as any progressive on the left.
00:30:45.500
I mean, I guess the liberal-progressive thing could be argued both ways
00:30:49.140
because there's also an argument that liberalism became a dirty word,
00:30:54.120
so now they just want to use the word progressive because it hasn't been as tainted in the public mind yet.
00:31:03.300
Well, that's because FDR had to stop using the word progressive
00:31:08.620
because they had made progressive a dirty word, so he made them liberals.
00:31:16.120
Is there anything—I've heard Trump talk about buying insurance across state lines.
00:31:24.260
I don't see that, but I don't see that from the initial bail.
00:31:29.260
That might have been—again, it doesn't mean that it won't end up somewhere.
00:31:34.540
I think the buying across state lines, though, is kind of a limited type of thing
00:31:41.200
because even in Trump's campaign, if you looked at the details, it said,
00:31:46.360
as long as you meet your state's requirements, which the whole argument for allowing interstate purchase of insurance
00:31:54.320
was that there were a lot of states before Obamacare that were passing all sorts of mandates to drive up premiums.
00:32:01.900
So you had situations in which premiums in New Jersey or New York were double what they were in neighboring Pennsylvania
00:32:11.380
just based on all of the regs that they were putting on it.
00:32:16.200
And so the whole interstate purchase of insurance was to try to get around that.
00:32:21.820
But if you're saying policies have to meet the standards within the state, then it kind of negates that.
00:32:27.740
And I also think there's a federalism argument in favor of not doing that
00:32:33.920
and letting states formulate their own insurance games.
00:32:39.080
If Massachusetts wants to have a health care program that more resembles Obamacare
00:32:45.960
and they're willing to pay for it, then should they be allowed?
00:32:52.100
And isn't it up to their citizens if they're frustrated that premiums are half the price in New Hampshire?
00:33:00.780
Philip, we kind of did this in reverse, but can you do a quick outline of what in Obamacare is staying in this bill?
00:33:11.100
Okay, basically a lot of the regulations and requirements on insurance.
00:33:16.620
So, for instance, the insurance, the pre-existing conditioning requirement.
00:33:21.520
They get rid of the mandate, but they say that if you go without insurance for a year
00:33:28.880
or for more than two months over the course of a year, you have to pay a 30% penalty on your premiums.
00:33:36.180
So the mandate is still there, just a different way.
00:33:38.020
Yeah, so then there's also, they get rid of Obamacare's style of tax credits,
00:33:50.680
So it's another form of subsidization of health insurance.
00:33:55.220
And then the Medicaid expansion, they do, it seems as though there's still going to be higher funding
00:34:03.940
relative to what would have been the place before Obamacare.
00:34:07.440
However, it does move toward more of a block grant type of system.
00:34:13.040
There's some expansion of health savings accounts, but the overall scheme in terms of the requirements
00:34:24.000
on insurance coverage, there's a lot more of that.
00:34:27.260
It still limits the amount that insurers could charge older people relative to younger people,
00:34:36.420
although it would expand that to five times as much instead of three times as much.
00:34:41.840
So it basically, in many ways, it has less regulation, but still regulation.
00:34:55.360
So we put some bondo on this car and gave it a new paint job, and it's now Trumpcare.
00:35:07.000
Philip Klein, he is the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.
00:35:11.140
Also the book, Overcoming Obamacare, Three Approaches to Reversing the Government Takeover of Healthcare.
00:35:15.060
If you want to read what a good solution would be like, it's a good place to start.
00:35:20.340
Unfortunately, it'll be down in the fiction section.
00:35:22.580
Now this, record days for the stock market, right?
00:35:26.820
Some economists believe the U.S. stock market is now overvalued at levels that we haven't seen since 1929 or 1999.
00:35:37.580
Stocks fell by 89%, and in 99, they fell by 50%.
00:35:42.980
Some economists believe that a 50% collapse in the market is not far off.
00:35:52.600
They're getting the free money from the treasury, and they are investing in the stock market.
00:36:04.540
My Patriot Supply is there, in case things don't go as everybody is planning.
00:36:09.240

00:36:13.440
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an entire month.
00:36:15.920

00:36:19.180
Food that lasts up to 25 years and could save your life.
00:36:45.900
I'm just listening to a chicken play this Star Spangled Banner.
00:36:56.160
I mean, it's better than talking about the healthcare bill.
00:37:43.340
I just went over the healthcare bill from the Republicans.
00:37:52.340
We have Obamacare going to be renamed now Trump Care.
00:38:12.640
We now own everything that's going to go wrong with healthcare.
00:38:23.260
It's the type of bill that if the Democrats had a majority in the Senate,
00:38:32.760
this is the type of bill I would expect it to be.
00:38:36.160
There's no reason for Democrats to oppose this.
00:38:41.320
I talked to Samantha Bee last night and I said, you know, the healthcare bill, right?
00:38:46.200
And she said, oh, she said, I don't know why I feel bad about it because I think it has
00:39:08.920
I bored the hell out of my wife with a conversation about this this morning.
00:39:11.860
In which I said, if Obamacare is an F, this is like a D plus.
00:39:16.740
Now, we should be shooting for higher than a D plus.
00:39:18.760
We have the House, the Senate, and the White House.
00:39:22.080
This is what you do when you have all three branches?
00:39:39.740
To remind, quote, to remind kids that men get periods too.
00:39:48.060
That may actually be true because blood is shooting from my whatever.
00:40:28.260
Because I always grew up, I wanted to wear tampons.
00:40:33.720
Growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cass Clamor hit puberty in a school that
00:40:43.220
And by the way, I just noticed, menstruation has the word men as the first three letters.
00:40:48.860
In fact, the first four letters are men's, so it belongs to us.
00:40:53.040
Because of her personal experience, she stopped to stop the silence and shine the light on the men who get periods too.
00:41:02.420
My wife said to me the other day, we went to bed and she said, why is there blood on your pillow?
00:41:09.620
It might have been from a nosebleed or something.
00:41:15.220
To achieve that goal, she has created the character Tony the Tampon with his googly eyes.
00:41:22.500
The Adventures of Tony the Tampon with Marina the Menstrual Cup.
00:41:47.220
That's why the name feminine products is the wrong term.
00:41:52.640
I'd rather help just one gender queer or trans menstruator.
00:42:02.700
Because I think I'm having my period all the time.
00:42:09.100
It may be the seven bloated days before I have my period.
00:42:17.960
especially when you consider that adults are often struggling with their own internalized period shame.
00:42:24.340
But hopefully, by opening up a fun and creative gateway to discretion,
00:42:27.960
my period coloring book will help make conversation a little easier.
00:42:31.220
The Atlantic Cosmo has run articles now on chest feeding.
00:42:39.220
breastfeeding, the new inclusive name for breastfeeding,
00:42:42.820
because men, of course, can breastfeed as well.
00:42:57.260
And I believe if I just took, if I just took a pin, you know, sometimes you have like superglue
00:43:03.740
I think if you stuck a pin through my nipple, you might be able to suck chocolate pudding out
00:43:09.140
It's not something I want to think about ever again.
00:43:11.140
Well, but I've already gone down that road, apparently.
00:43:28.800
You know, all the weird, you know, sort of the different culture, cultural.
00:43:35.300
Do you, have you ever heard that argument before?
00:43:36.920
That men have, uh, go through their, their periods?
00:43:40.860
I mean, that's a, look, you're, you're making it up.
00:43:44.960
He is trying to make it sound like he has a reason for being in this room.
00:43:51.480
Now, I may be saying that because I'm on my period, but.
00:43:56.520
Has your wife never said, never, never said that to you?
00:44:07.800
Well, as Jeffy was stalling with his fake information, I have some real hardcore facts on this issue.
00:44:19.820
No, this is from, almost as a reliable source, the Daily Beast.
00:44:24.300
Does he growl at you if you dare to take a piece of the chocolate bar that he is eating?
00:44:28.720
Or seed a little too angrily at the loss of the TV remote?
00:44:31.600
Well, understand that maybe it's his time of the month.
00:44:34.420
A quarter of British men believe, believe, they have man periods, according to a new survey reported by the Telegraph.
00:44:44.920
Gosh, we get 600 people for a national presidential poll.
00:44:47.660
They get 2,400 for a freaking, do you have a period, the guys?
00:44:50.840
That was a sample size observation, by the way.
00:44:58.380
It was made up of half male and half female respondents.
00:45:02.340
Revealed 26% of men experience conditions associated with the female menstrual cycle, including tiredness, cramps, and increased sensitivity.
00:45:10.820
Almost half the women surveyed, 43%, said they helped their man through their man period symptoms.
00:45:21.980
You really, you are complaining to your wife that you have cramps and you're a little more sensitive in places or lost sensitivity.
00:45:37.000
Of the men suffering from man periods, 56% said they were irritable.
00:45:44.780
Women, are these men not just co-opting your role, your whatever?
00:45:59.200
You're, I was going to say gender, but I don't think that's okay to say anymore because I don't think there's, I don't think there are genders or there's all genders or.
00:46:12.000
It is as obnoxious as what's-her-name that just changed her name again.
00:46:22.860
Yeah, I don't remember what it was, but it was.
00:46:29.760
The woman who says she's black and she's clearly white.
00:46:36.600
If you just want your head to completely explode, let's go to, is it Houston or is this?
00:46:43.760
Yeah, no, it's, this is here in the Dallas area.
00:46:54.340
Valdez is upset over the way she says she was treated by a teacher's aide who chaperones Valdez and other Castleberry students on a bus.
00:47:14.080
If you say transgenderism, bing, bing, bing, you'd be correct.
00:47:20.820
In the women's bathroom, I do feel more comfortable.
00:47:24.680
But it was while walking out of the women's bathroom at TCC Wednesday that Valdez says the aide made an insensitive comment.
00:47:32.620
She said, Ismael, don't start because I already have an issue with you using the women's restroom.
00:47:38.200
The point is that this is the women's restroom and you're not a girl.
00:48:03.780
Keep in mind, no one was killed here or beaten.
00:48:08.200
What he said is he's coming out of the women's bathroom.
00:48:14.000
And the teacher says, Don't even start with me.
00:48:18.860
I already have a problem with you using the women's bathroom.
00:48:22.000
A woman telling him that she has a problem with him in her bathroom.
00:48:43.520
That is a that's a local news story that someone felt offended.
00:48:55.720
Where you have a sensitive interview with the woman who says, and there's this guy.
00:49:04.720
There was this guy who was going into the bathroom.
00:49:09.320
He says he identifies, but he still has the junk downstairs.
00:49:20.020
What what you have is two people who are uncomfortable.
00:49:40.800
Because it's it's not just that they're not showing both of them as uncomfortable.
00:49:45.000
And he's the other as the reason the villain, the villain in the story.
00:49:49.240
But but really, the story is two people uncomfortable.
00:49:58.080
Valdez says the aide told her she would be talking to the school principal about it.
00:50:02.200
Valdez says another student who heard the heated exchange recorded only the tail end of the conversation.
00:50:10.080
Well, then my mom's going to talk about it with you, too.
00:50:12.600
Then call her, please, because I'm so done with you already.
00:50:16.620
Valdez says she actually seems like they're done with each other.
00:50:22.920
And she's like, fine, I'll talk to you about it.
00:50:25.100
Which is why they they added the it's only the end of it.
00:50:30.940
That's why they added that always in the narration.
00:50:37.660
And like, what is the reasons I know this is a weird thing.
00:50:40.620
You shouldn't have to examine these foundational points, but we may have to in the society.
00:50:52.020
They are making the argument now that the junk is separate from gender.
00:50:57.420
Like you can't tell the gender by looking at what private parts the person has.
00:51:01.180
You can't do that because people could identify it in other ways.
00:51:05.640
There's the private parts and there's the gender in their world.
00:51:13.180
It's not because of whatever they're defining as gender today.
00:51:17.560
If you if you if there's if gender is this fluid thing that it makes no difference as to where you identify.
00:51:28.880
There's no reason if you're if if you're making the case that a woman should not be offended by this guy who comes
00:51:39.280
Why would you have any separate bathrooms at all?
00:51:41.260
You should argue that any person should not be offended by anyone coming in.
00:51:49.860
And then I then then I have a question that I never thought I would ask ever anyone even let alone on the air.
00:51:55.140
But I think I need to I think I need to say why we have separate bathrooms.
00:52:00.880
And and maybe I'm the only one that feels this way.
00:52:04.260
Now, this gold line yesterday, we told you how the loss of privacy is one of the unintended consequences of the digital economy.
00:52:14.500
Digital economy comes through and you don't have any privacy.
00:52:30.960
Savers no longer have the individual freedom to store wealth outside of the system.
00:52:36.940
Eliminating cash makes negative interest rates feasible for policymakers.
00:52:40.920
So, in other words, if you don't if you can't take your money out of a bank because it's digital, there's no there's no physicality about it at all.
00:52:49.400
They can charge whatever they want for you to keep it in the bank.
00:52:53.180
It's it's no longer a service that you are granting.
00:53:04.620
So now it's who's going to charge you the least to keep your money.
00:53:08.920
A cashless society means you're going to be on the hook for bank bail-in scenarios and you'll have limited abilities to react to extreme monetary events like inflation or deflation.
00:53:27.240
You know, I just saw Wolverine over the weekend and one of the things there are two things in there that I thought this is 2029.
00:53:35.940
A he's driving a car that's not going to happen to be self-driving car by 2029 and the other he was looking through digging through his wallet for money.
00:53:50.500
Now, how do we solve privacy and you not being a slave to the financial institution?
00:53:58.100
I don't know, but I would like you to read Goldline's updated free cashless society risk report.
00:54:07.460
Find out if gold or silver is right for you, but I want you to read their risk report.
00:54:35.240
We're just talking about the period thing is absolutely ridiculous.
00:54:40.160
There is study that you are not all people, and I'm not even talking about menopause.
00:54:46.740
The longest running study has come from, I think they were 12 years old and now 77, and
00:54:55.840
they've been taking the same survey throughout their life, and there is a dramatic change.
00:55:04.440
You keep certain traits until you're about 60, and then those traits dramatically change
00:55:18.700
It's just, I mean, we're continually, because we don't wholeheartedly buy into catastrophic
00:55:26.240
man-caused climate change, so we're science deniers.
00:55:30.660
They're trying to say that men have periods, but they're the scientific people?
00:55:34.860
They're trying to say that women are men, and they're the scientific people?
00:55:39.180
They're trying to say that a white person is black, and they're the scientific people?
00:55:44.220
It's really mind-boggling what's transpired in the last five years.
00:55:49.520
It's really, I don't think no one could have foreseen this.
00:55:53.040
It's almost like everything that you thought was solid would be liquid, and everything liquid
00:56:00.860
And I don't mean to be, I mean, I don't like bathroom talk, you know.
00:56:07.260
But here's one of the biggest reasons why you don't want to have the bathrooms mixed.
00:56:14.760
I don't, I don't like it when I'm in the bathroom with a man who is, you know,
00:56:22.120
I don't want to do that around a woman, I do not want to do that around a woman, and
00:56:48.660
I mean, you're going into the office, and a woman comes into your bathroom, and, you know,
00:56:56.340
you look down, you see the shoes, and you're like, do you hold off until she walks out and
00:57:06.560
Because you've got an explosion ready to happen.
00:57:17.780
That's one reason why we have separate bathrooms.
00:57:22.520
And I agree, but I mean, that's not their argument.
00:57:28.740
And your argument is helped along by my constitutional amendment that solves all these problems.
00:57:35.440
No such thing as shared bathrooms in the United States via constitutional amendment.
00:58:01.000
You know, we all feel like these are crazy times, and they are crazy times.
00:58:04.720
But it wasn't a crazy election, according to history.
00:58:09.720
This week, our serial's the craziest elections in United States history.
00:58:15.100
In recent years, America has had its share of memorable elections.
00:58:21.140
But what our country has gone through recently, in 2016, is not completely unique.
00:58:27.520
The ink was barely dry on the Constitution before the nation was embroiled in one of the craziest elections of all time.
00:58:37.560
The first two American presidential elections might have been the smoothest transitions of power in world history.
00:58:49.660
There was so much unanimity among Americans as to who should lead the country that George Washington was elected unanimously to office two times.
00:58:59.080
In 1796, Washington's vice president, John Adams, seemed the logical choice to succeed him.
00:59:07.840
And despite some challenge from others, Adams became the second man to serve as president of the United States.
00:59:13.840
But just when it appeared that electing founding fathers to the highest office in the land would be easy, as easy as powdering a wig,
00:59:22.380
Thomas Jefferson decided to oppose Adams and try to stop his re-election.
00:59:29.080
Jefferson and Adams had, in the past, been very, very close friends, as well as president and vice president during the previous four years.
00:59:36.940
But as the dawn of the 19th century loomed, huge disagreements began between the two of them, and it began to boil over.
00:59:45.120
One of the biggest areas of contention between the two friends was Adams' support for and signing of the Alien and Sedition Act.
00:59:53.600
It was an act that essentially allowed government to put anybody who spoke out against them in prison.
01:00:03.360
The act was absolutely un-American and unconstitutional, and Jefferson was not about to let this stand.
01:00:11.580
Bernard Weisberger, he's the author of American of Fire, talked about Adams' support of this controversial act.
01:00:17.460
John Adams' defense of signing the Sedition Act, by the way, which he knew was a pretty harsh measure.
01:00:30.320
John Adams said there was a real threat of the riot and revolution in the streets, that mob rule.
01:00:38.000
And, you know, he was thinking, as they all were thinking, of what was going on in France at the time, where a revolution had taken place, it established a constitutional monarchy, and that had degenerated into a bloody slaughterhouse, with people killing each other and executing each other.
01:01:00.040
And so, after Washington's warning to Americans about the painful effects of the spirit of the party kicked in to full gear.
01:01:09.560
The Jeffersonian party is the first party to recognize that it has to regard party behavior seriously and mobilize voters at the state level.
01:01:22.580
And to regard the election as a kind of contest in which what we would now regard as modern political organizing is necessary.
01:01:34.100
The Federalists think that they just have to present their candidates, and the people will naturally gravitate towards them.
01:01:41.220
Federalists remain more deferential and more classical in their notions about what politics is supposed to be.
01:01:48.060
At Yale, which is hard to believe now was founded by Puritans, and in the 1800s was still a religious college run by clergy,
01:01:57.160
The president of the university warned during a sermon about the horrors of a potential Thomas Jefferson presidency.
01:02:05.280
The Bible would be cast into a bonfire, our wives and daughters dishonored, and our sons converted into the disciplines of Voltaire and the dragoons of Marat.
01:02:15.720
Murder, murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.
01:02:24.340
The air will be rent with the cries of distress.
01:02:36.360
In an age where negative ads are commonplace to us, and every election is called the nastiest ever,
01:02:42.780
the election of 1800 may have actually been the nastiest ever, and the political ads were happening in the center of churches.
01:02:52.660
Reason TV did a series of mock campaign commercials in the style of today that accentuate the tone of the election of 1800.
01:02:59.760
Now these are real attacks in their actual words from Jefferson and Adams and their surrogates.
01:03:07.380
John Adams is a blind, bald, crippled, toothless man who wants to start a war with France.
01:03:14.120
While he's not busy importing mistresses from Europe, he's trying to marry one of his sons to a daughter of King George.
01:03:24.220
I'm Thomas Jefferson, and I approve this message because John Adams is a hideous, hermaphroditical character
01:03:31.200
with neither the force and firmness of a man nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
01:03:37.080
If Thomas Jefferson wins, murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.
01:03:43.960
The air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with cries.
01:03:52.400
Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames, female chastity violated, children writhing on a pike?
01:03:59.840
I'm John Adams, and I approve this message because Jefferson is the son of a half-breed Indian squall raised on hoe cakes,
01:04:08.060
and Hamilton is a Creole bastard brat of a Scotch peddler.
01:04:11.120
It was so bad that Adams even tried to circulate the rumor that Jefferson had died.
01:04:19.520
In the end, John Adams, the sitting president, didn't even finish in the top two.
01:04:23.900
Jefferson and Aaron Byrd tied in electoral votes with 73 apiece,
01:04:28.400
so the decision mandated by the Constitution in the event of a tie wound up in the House of Representatives.
01:04:33.920
So over the course of a week in February of 1801, the House voted 35 times, still unable to break the tie.
01:04:46.140
Nine states were needed to win, but Jefferson and Byrd kept winding up with eight.
01:04:52.040
Alexander Hamilton, who was a Federalist, disliked Jefferson but hated Aaron Byrd.
01:04:58.680
He worked hard behind the scenes to swing the vote Jefferson's way.
01:05:05.860
Jefferson by far not so dangerous a man as Aaron Burr.
01:05:11.680
He told them that he would much rather have somebody with wrong principles than someone devoid of any.
01:05:20.400
Enough congressmen were convinced of Burr's unsuitability for office that Thomas Jefferson was elected the third president of the United States on the 36th ballot.
01:05:30.380
Aaron Burr, the second-place finisher, became Jefferson's vice president.
01:05:35.340
It was the very first transfer of power from one party to another, and while it certainly was contentious, it wasn't bloody.
01:05:48.120
Four years later, Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton dead in a duel in New Jersey over lingering political animosity.
01:05:57.440
John Adams refused to attend Thomas Jefferson's inauguration, and the two men became really bitter enemies.
01:06:04.040
The healing in their relationship wouldn't begin until 1812, when they began writing letters to each other once again.
01:06:10.860
They reconciled and wrote to each other as friends until their deaths, famously on the same day, July 4th, 1826.
01:06:18.940
That was exactly 50 years to the day of the American independence.
01:06:23.660
Only one other time in American history has a presidential election been decided by the House of Representatives, and that second time happened in 1824.
01:06:33.280
There were four candidates vying for the job, but the top two candidates were John Adams' son, John Quincy Adams.
01:06:40.800
He was a war hero, and then Andrew Jackson, who had risen to fame during the War of 1812, when he was sent to New Orleans to head off the British invasion force there.
01:06:50.680
Jackson had gathered together a ragtag group of volunteers from Tennessee and Kentucky, along with some militiamen, to fight off the invading British regulars, fresh from their victory in Europe over Napoleon.
01:07:01.300
Well, Jackson managed to put together 4,500 men to face 8,000 British troops trying to gain control of the Mississippi River via New Orleans.
01:07:11.680
Well, using some ingenuity and brilliant strategy, in a battle that was over in just 30 minutes, Jackson and his men killed 2,000 of the British, while losing only 100 of the American troops.
01:07:28.300
The Washington establishment was stunned to discover that Andrew Jackson had won the most popular and electoral votes.
01:07:38.760
But with four men dividing up the electoral vote, Jackson did not win a majority, and the election was thrown into the House of Representatives.
01:07:48.140
Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, had finished last and was out of the running, but he had enough support to play kingmaker.
01:07:59.400
Clay believed with all of his heart that Andrew Jackson was unfit to be president, so he threw his support to John Quincy Adams, and with it, Adams was elected president.
01:08:11.300
Adams then immediately offered Clay the job of Secretary of State.
01:08:18.620
Many say that Adams offered Clay the position of Secretary of State before he won, and that there was a corrupt bargain struck between the two.
01:08:36.140
The one thing we do know for sure is that Andrew Jackson, having won the vote, but lost the election, was livid.
01:08:43.200
He campaigned over the next four years on the corrupt bargain theory, and of course won the rematch with Adams in 1828, and the Indians began to weep.
01:08:53.600
The all-important and wild election of 1860 in the next episode.

01:09:13.860
You know what's crazy is, we were sitting here listening and watching this, and we saw almost the first 35 years of our country in the last year and a half.
01:09:30.100
All those crazy elections, almost everything in those three elections happened.
01:09:38.680
I mean, the charges back and forth, you know, a toothless hermaphrodite that was raised by an Indian squaw and holding on hoe cakes.
01:09:48.440
I mean, we saw all that, and then the brokered deal before.
01:09:52.780
The only thing we didn't see is it thrown into the House of Representatives, but we thought it was going to be.
01:09:57.460
I mean, it seemed like, I mean, again, we thought it was going to be.
01:10:00.360
Once again, somebody who won the popular election didn't win the White House.
01:10:04.260
And we think that's so unique, and we're battling over it.
01:10:08.620

When it comes to protecting your home and keeping your family safe, simply safe.
01:10:53.020
They have one of the most talked about innovations, the simply safe security camera.
01:10:56.960
The camera connects to the sensors in your alarm system, and it has a shutter on it, so it stays closed unless an alarm is tripped.
01:11:05.260
People like that because, you know, even with all the security in the world, people are worried about hacking in.
01:11:27.740
It automatically kicks in, and the shutter opens up, and it captures everything that it needs.
01:11:35.040
It calls police and then sends the video to the police and to you so you know exactly who it was.
01:11:47.200
You go to Simply Safe and check out this new video camera, and it's unbelievably affordable.
01:11:53.640
Their most popular security system is like, I think, $600 or something like that.

So, earlier today in the show, Hour 1, we talked to Philip Klein, who was up all last night.
01:12:41.020
He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.
01:12:49.740
And you've got to call it Trumpcare now, gang, because that's what it is.
01:13:03.340
There's a lot of pushback from conservative organizations.
01:13:05.480
Heritage Foundation is already coming out and criticizing it.
01:13:11.480
I've already had a couple of emails from people in D.C. that have said,
01:13:21.400
Now, I initially had a lot of, I had a story here, Ryan Care from Daily Wire,
01:13:26.800
Five Serious Problems with a Republican Replacement.
01:13:30.780
But, I mean, Trump tweeted this morning that he thought it was a, I believe it was a great bill.
01:13:35.620
No, guys, it doesn't matter who came up with it.
01:13:45.280
That is, at least, and he said it was a, of course he would.
01:13:48.340
Well, the scary thing, too, is that he said it was,
01:13:50.060
this is our wonderful health care bill that's a great start to something about negotiation,
01:13:56.500
which indicates that this is their starting point.
01:13:58.980
Like, this is like, this is, if this was where it ended, I'd be very disappointed.
01:14:02.660
If this is a starting point for negotiation, gosh, where is this thing going to end up?
01:14:08.320
Yeah, he's tweeted again about, don't worry, getting rid of state lines, which will promote
01:14:13.000
competition, will be phase two and three of health care rollout.
01:14:17.200
Yeah, so they actually, that's not in the bill, which is the main thing promised, or one of the main things.
01:14:22.300
I mean, you know, we're going to get that later.
01:14:38.760
Um, and this is, this is a, a death knell to the Republican party.
01:15:10.600
I want to introduce you to a journalist who has been a lifelong liberal.
01:15:16.060
In fact, just a few months ago, he voted for Hillary Clinton.
01:15:19.800
Um, he has had a change of heart since the election.
01:15:25.960
Um, he has written a New York post, uh, article entitled, I am a gay New Yorker and I'm coming
01:15:36.020
He says, this is the hardest thing he has done harder than coming out of the closet as a gay
01:16:13.600
Chadwick Moore, a lifelong liberal and journalist who is now, um, written this line in his op-ed
01:16:22.720
when I was growing up in the Midwest, coming out as my, um, to my family at the age of 15
01:16:27.880
was one of the hardest things I've ever done today.
01:16:29.680
It is just as nerve wracking coming out to all of my, uh, to come out, uh, to all of New
01:16:35.160
York as a conservative, uh, Chadwick, welcome to the program.
01:16:41.420
Uh, you can call me anything you'd like, Glenn.
01:16:50.100
So Chadwick, um, is this harder than, are the consequences greater than when you came
01:17:03.740
You know, when, when I, um, when I came out as a teenager, of course it was scary for all
01:17:07.820
the reasons that everyone hears about, you're worried about being bullied, worried about
01:17:12.840
Um, but I had at that time sort of like, you know, I had a fake ID.
01:17:17.580
I'd sort of, I already had this sort of network of friends, gay friends that I'd made or really
01:17:21.940
accepting friends, um, who I could sort of secretly tell.
01:17:26.140
Uh, this, I didn't know, I didn't have any conservative friends.
01:17:29.920
And I live in, in, uh, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is the epicenter of New York city of,
01:17:35.700
uh, sort of the social justice identity politics brigade.
01:17:41.040
And, uh, so, um, I had real, I was going in completely blind.
01:17:45.200
Um, as we know that, that coming out as a conservative, uh, you face employment discrimination.
01:17:52.460
Especially in industries like media, which I'm in, uh, we see all this violence on the
01:17:57.780
We see people being assaulted and yelled at for no reason.
01:18:00.840
Uh, so it was definitely, uh, definitely more nerve wracking.
01:18:04.600
So, um, Chadwick, uh, I have a friend who, um, is on the other side of the aisle.
01:18:13.420
And, and one of them was telling me just the other day that, um, they don't know how
01:18:19.680
to even speak sometimes to their own friends and they're rock solid liberal.
01:18:24.820
They don't know how to speak to some of their own friends because things are so crazy.
01:18:29.640
And I think it's this way on the right too, that if you're not lockstep against Donald
01:18:35.760
Trump, if you're in a liberal circle, you're, you're an enemy.
01:18:43.800
Uh, you know, I've had conservative leaning libertarian, uh, values for a long time and
01:18:50.240
And even just a couple of years ago, uh, you know, I could get into political discussions
01:18:54.260
with people and it'd be very clear that I have these views and they might not like it.
01:19:05.500
And I, and I, and I've been noticing, especially the last year, if I would start to challenge,
01:19:09.440
um, my friends, uh, political ideas and start to present the other side, you were the enemy.
01:19:15.340
And the next time that person saw you, they would not talk to you.
01:19:20.500
You know, I like to say that my politics have not changed.
01:19:27.620
I mean, was it, was it Donald Trump that moved you there?
01:19:30.640
Was it, what, I mean, what do you, how do you define conservative?
01:19:38.960
Um, I define, you know, lots of people can disagree with me on this.
01:19:43.100
I find conservative to be a very useful term, a very useful umbrella term for the sort of
01:19:48.340
diverse political thought that's on the, on the right.
01:19:51.080
So the, the evangelical Christians, the, uh, tea partiers, the establishment Republicans,
01:19:56.520
and then people more like me who are the libertarian classical liberals.
01:20:04.100
Um, Donald Trump was definitely a huge, you know, I feel like his rise and, and a lot of
01:20:09.200
people who identify more libertarian on the right, their visibility has, uh, really shifted
01:20:14.300
the borders of conservatism and, and been more welcoming to people like myself who are
01:20:19.380
disaffected liberals who are against the leftists.
01:20:22.900
Um, and Donald Trump has really sort of, you know, no longer is the face of conservatism,
01:20:28.080
these kind of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan types, who I would have just as little in common with,
01:20:32.920
I think, as I do Hillary Clinton, even though I held my nose and ticked her box last, uh, last
01:20:40.020
So Chadwick, so, um, uh, we're probably then in the same category of conservative.
01:20:47.780
Uh, I don't relate to the big government, um, people at all.
01:20:54.080
I was, you know, I didn't have a problem with gay marriage, um, you know, long before, uh,
01:21:02.300
I just don't think the government has a place in anybody's marriage left, uh, left, right,
01:21:11.420
Um, and, um, so you are more of a, uh, libertarian, small government, leave people alone, kind of
01:21:25.420
Uh, uh, firm staunch believer in first and second amendment, uh, absolute constitutionalist.
01:21:33.060
Did you have a problem with the, um, Obama administration on the first amendment?
01:21:36.960
Uh, you know, they did really shady things with the press, uh, you know, everyone likes
01:21:43.580
to think that, that Trump is this authoritarian person, but, you know, Obama was going after
01:21:49.040
Uh, you know, and, and the, you know, the Democrats are sort of my, uh, his administration, you
01:21:54.780
know, they didn't really get much done, but, but the sort of liberal base then under his
01:21:58.480
administration seems to have been galvanized in this radical, awful way.
01:22:02.400
And the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton and the DNC have, have never called them out
01:22:10.260
Uh, so in that, in that sense, I think Obama, yeah, he, he, he, he never tried to stop this,
01:22:15.060
this radical push, uh, to the left that his, his followers have, have undergone.
01:22:19.100
Talking to Chadwick Moore, he's a journalist out of New York.
01:22:23.840
He's now a conservative, uh, uh, libertarian, small government, conservative constitutionalist.
01:22:29.060
Um, the, uh, I have said this to my inner circle that I have met with a bunch of people that
01:22:39.900
in fact have given lots of money to the democratic party who have now woken up for the very first
01:22:47.100
time to the fact that, wait a minute, my party is really pretty extreme.
01:22:54.560
They're embracing, um, this authoritarian kind of, uh, uh, of idea and, and they rejected
01:23:02.420
that, that serious Marxists, um, and, and people who really didn't like, uh, the constitution
01:23:11.080
or didn't like the free market system, you know, had a real serious place at the table.
01:23:15.780
They knew they were in the party, but they didn't have to think they had a real serious place
01:23:22.440
Now, many of them haven't been strong enough as, as you are now, but they have told me
01:23:27.220
behind the scenes, I'm, I'm not with the Democrats either.
01:23:31.080
Do you think there is that you're alone or do you think there's a lot of people like this
01:23:39.380
Glenn, I know for a fact, there are a lot of people and the evidence is in my inbox.
01:23:43.220
I've gotten thousands of messages from, from people, uh, since that post story ran, and
01:23:49.020
I would say legitimately 50% of those messages are from conservatives from all walks of life,
01:23:55.400
The other half, I would say are disaffected Democrats who have been saying to me, I feel
01:24:05.160
I consider myself a moderate, but there's no place for me in the party anymore.
01:24:08.960
Um, I'm scared if I speak up, I'll lose my job.
01:24:12.280
I'll lose clients, you know, I'm an independent contractor and I don't know what to do.
01:24:16.480
And people have said like, thank you for being a vessel for this voice of reason, especially
01:24:22.500
Um, and, uh, what you said about, it's like, uh, it's like president Reagan said, if fascism
01:24:27.460
comes to America, it'll be in the guise of liberalism.
01:24:30.660
You know, it'll be private ownership with absolute government control.
01:24:37.420
Uh, because Chadwick, this is something that I have been, um, um, you know, working towards
01:24:45.240
for a while and felt really alone, uh, for a long time that there would be strange bedfellows
01:24:54.820
And we're going to come from the left and the right, and we're just going to stand for
01:25:00.500
And people will say, what principles do we have in common?
01:25:06.320
And if you could give me nine out of the 10 of the bill of rights, I think we have enough
01:25:15.520
How do we empower the people on both sides that are afraid to come out?
01:25:30.960
And that, that is an excellent question and an excellent point.
01:25:33.980
Um, I agree with you that, that the strongest weapon we have is the bill of rights.
01:25:39.580
Um, you know, I, I, you know, a few months ago I was thinking, you know, this country is
01:25:43.080
either on the verge of a bloody civil war or a really radical, um, wonderful political
01:25:54.620
I think there, there are tons of people like me who, uh, you know, when, when we, the, the
01:25:59.520
sort of liberal I was, was what this term that a lot of people are using now called the
01:26:02.900
classical liberal, which is a constitutionalist.
01:26:05.120
It's someone who supports free people, free markets, free speech, free thought.
01:26:09.220
And I think that is, nobody disagrees with that.
01:26:11.460
Um, so I think that you're right, that that is the greatest weapon we have.
01:26:15.400
And the, the, the sort of authoritarian element on the left, I still believe is so small and
01:26:21.160
so fringe, but they're so violent and their biggest weapon is their, is their, you know,
01:26:29.120
You know, that's, that's all they can say because they have no argument and nobody wants
01:26:32.920
Those are the worst things in the world to be called.
01:26:34.820
So if you challenge them, they throw those words at you and then shut up.
01:26:38.100
And that's why the media doesn't challenge them because the media doesn't want to be boycotted.
01:26:42.160
I think most people in media are terrified of these people too.
01:26:44.780
Um, but I think there's signs that that's no longer working.
01:26:47.880
People see that Donald Trump isn't, you know, a white supremacist.
01:26:53.980
And, and, and I think that you're right that the constitution, the bill of rights is the
01:26:57.720
greatest weapon to unite the most, um, uh, patriotic and fair-minded people in this country,
01:27:03.540
because our country, if you look at Europe, how authoritarian cultures become in Europe,
01:27:07.460
we really are the last hope for this sort of great idea of free people and free markets
01:27:15.080
How do you argue with people who will say this to a, um, a Republican?
01:27:21.060
Um, they said it under George Bush and they will say it again because of Donald Trump.
01:27:25.820
And they say it to people like you that were voted for Barack Obama, assuming you did voting
01:27:31.940
for Barack Obama supported, or was relatively quiet during Bach Obama.
01:27:36.300
How, what do you say to those people say, um, well, where were you as a staunch constitutionalist
01:27:47.840
How do we tell people the past is the past and I'm sincere in standing with the constitution?
01:27:59.340
So I was thinking about this just the other day.
01:28:01.640
Um, you know, when Obama was president, it was very much like, I'm just going to close
01:28:07.700
Um, I, I think a lot, you know, if I just speak of my own personal experience, um, people
01:28:14.160
Uh, and, and also at the time, I just felt I didn't have, it's strange because I've been
01:28:20.420
It's, I didn't feel I had a choice, especially when the religious right was in control of
01:28:26.340
And as a gay person, you know, and they're sort of very anti-gay, a non-libertarian rules
01:28:39.440
And this is what we were saying earlier about the sort of lines being changed and Donald Trump
01:28:44.180
I mean, Donald Trump's the first president to take office being, um, for gay rights,
01:28:51.300
And so it's now that this, the culture has shifted so rapidly.
01:28:55.920
Um, I think a lot of people don't feel like they have to fly blindly with their party affiliation
01:29:00.420
because the other side is evil, you know, because they're just being told that.
01:29:04.320
Uh, so I, I think that, that most people in this country have been just falling into party
01:29:08.700
lines, but now there's such an anti-establishment, um, vigor amongst the people of this country
01:29:15.320
That's why Bernie would have won it, been the nominee.
01:29:20.800
He would have been the nominee at the democratic party had not colluded against him and all
01:29:24.520
There's super delegates and all this other stuff.
01:29:30.120
Um, and it's, it's just the, the misbehavior of the establishment has finally reached a breaking
01:29:35.320
point, uh, where people can actually come together.
01:29:40.340
Um, I think you're fascinating and extraordinarily brave, extraordinarily brave.
01:29:45.280
Um, and, uh, congratulations on, um, sticking to your principles and come what may.
01:29:54.560
Um, uh, the exact same to you, Glenn, uh, great, uh, great admirer of yours.
01:30:02.160
Um, it's, it's, it's interesting to hear that this is happening.
01:30:05.340
I'm telling you, if we, if we walk together, if we don't open arms, those who feel like
01:30:14.500
he does left or right, if we don't close ranks and open arms right now, we have a chance
01:30:25.200
I really liked the, his answer to, well, wait, wait a minute.
01:30:28.340
You were, what if, what about when you, this side did this, I did this, I did this.
01:30:33.740
I didn't have all the information and now I do like that.
01:30:36.380
That sort of attitude is, is so missing from our society that you could admit that, you
01:30:41.180
know what, maybe I had the wrong perspective back then and now I have the right one.
01:30:46.160
American financing, buying a home or refinancing your mortgage can quickly become a stressful
01:30:51.040

01:32:08.020
I don't know if anybody has noticed, but we're putting a lot of attention into glennbeck.com,
01:32:12.440
trying to make it a really great, useful site for you with the news of the day and analysis
01:32:18.720
There's a great story at glennbeck.com right now about Russia and why we'll never really
01:32:24.700
Yeah, and you know, a lot of it is really, first of all, Ivan Drago's in there, which
01:32:36.700
When you're having issues like things that are never talked about, like the tolerance of
01:32:41.400
domestic abuse in Russia, that is so different from the principles that we have here.
01:32:51.540
But if you want to know, and I mean, look, we all know that Russia hasn't been our friend
01:32:54.620
for a long time, but a lot of people are, I think, forgetting how bad this can be.
01:32:58.860
And you know, we don't want war with them, but we don't want war.
01:33:01.500
And I absolutely back all efforts to make sure we're not nuclear, firing ICBMs at each other.
01:33:07.620
But you know, there's not a cultural connection here.
01:33:14.300
It is the war against the land, the people of the land and the sea, as they call it.
01:33:23.600
It's a great article and he'll have some laughs too, uh, only on glennbeck.com.
01:33:28.820
Now there's something else that we have to post on glennbeck.com.
01:33:31.620
A, uh, something that we noticed, uh, when, when Arnold Schwarzenegger, uh, left, when he
01:33:46.520
Um, when he left, it was reported when he left the celebrity apprentice.
01:33:52.480
If you haven't heard, it was reported that he said, hasta la vista, baby.
01:34:03.640
Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has one thing to say to the Apprentice television show and
01:34:27.300
Yeah, he's saying that to NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.
01:34:29.980
Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying, hasta la vista to NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.
01:34:36.300
Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying, hasta la vista to NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.
01:34:41.160
Arnold says, hasta la vista, baby, to the Apprentice after only one season.
01:34:44.940
Let's talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger because he has said, hasta la vista to the new Celebrity
01:34:56.240
I love the small market ones who think it's hasta.
01:35:03.540
But he said, hasta la vista, hasta la vista, baby.
01:35:28.000
You know, I want to talk about the new movie Get Out.
01:35:37.160
And I will tell you also that we are, it's absolutely un-American to not discuss what Ben Carson did yesterday before we sign off.
01:35:49.420
I mean, I think that's a, I think that's a, I think it's a citizen's responsibility to discuss what he said yesterday.
01:36:00.360
Well, we talked about, we just did the hasta la vista thing with him leaving.
01:36:03.220
And I know Trump and, and, and, you know, Schwarzenegger have gone back and forth.
01:36:07.900
And I'm no fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger by any means.
01:36:10.580
But the ratings argument is so weird with this because it really, his ratings actually weren't all that terrible for this show.
01:36:20.300
They had, and when you think about it going in, why would, why did NBC do this?
01:36:25.740
Because first of all, everybody who's a liberal who watched The Apprentice with Trump now hates Trump, right?
01:36:31.280
Because he's now, he's president of the United States as a Republican.
01:36:35.640
And then everyone who likes Trump, who might go back to The Apprentice, is siding with Trump in this weird Trump-Schwarzenegger battle about ratings.
01:36:44.680
So none of them want to go back and watch either.
01:36:47.780
And Arnold Schwarzenegger, why are you watching Arnold Schwarzenegger?
01:36:59.120
This is, these are the Apprentice ratings on NBC.
01:37:01.680
First year, the one where Bill Rancic won, $20.7 million average.
01:37:07.680
And keep in mind, that's when reality shows were huge.
01:37:15.120
That was, he's never been number one, but he was number seven that year.
01:37:22.680
I mean, like, maybe the finale hit number one that week.
01:37:29.220
Then he went from $21 million to $16 million in season two.
01:37:36.720
Then $16 million to $14 million from 11th to 15th place.
01:37:41.020
Next season was a $14 million to $11 million from 15th to 38th place.
01:37:47.760
Then we go $11 million to $9.7 million, and we drop from 38th to 51st place.
01:37:57.360
Then we go $9.7 million to $7.5 million, and we drop from 51st to 75th place.
01:38:05.960
That's the last year of the regular Apprentice.
01:38:11.180
So they bring in, they launch Celebrity Apprentice.
01:38:13.400
Celebrity Apprentice, the ratings go back up a little bit to $11 million, but still 48th
01:38:23.400
So then it drops from $11 million to $9 million, 48th to 52nd.
01:38:33.060
Then they go back to regular Apprentice, and regular Apprentice that year, and this is an
01:38:39.280
important number to remember, drops from $7.5 million was the last Apprentice, drops to
01:38:50.300
Now remember, $4.7 million, remember that number for a second.
01:38:56.200
They've now abandoned the regular Apprentice, because it's not working anymore.
01:39:00.100
And they put up, I can't remember where I left.
01:39:11.660
And then they have a little bounce up in season 14 for some reason, goes $7.6 million.
01:39:18.780
Now, Celebrity Apprentice with Arnold Schwarzenegger finishes the entire season averaging $4.9 million.
01:39:28.480
And, if you go back to Trace Adkins' year, which is 2012, he put up $5.6 million for Celebrity Apprentice.
01:39:37.180
So $5.6 million versus what, four years later, what Schwarzenegger puts up is $4.9 million.
01:39:44.380
Now, just the degradation of Netflix and everything else, that is not a terrible fall-off at all.
01:39:49.700
And it's higher than the last season of The Regular Apprentice.
01:39:53.280
We're doing these podcasts, and they're coming out soon.
01:39:58.260
I'm stockpiling some podcasts of some really fascinating people.
01:40:05.780
And wanted to do kind of a pilot episode to see if it worked.
01:40:18.620
And heard things from Pendulet that I've just, I've never heard before.
01:40:29.340
Where I didn't, I always was wondering, how did you get here?
01:40:39.220
I found it when I think he was about eight years old.
01:40:41.680
Something happened to him that was wildly humiliating that he did and his parents saw.
01:40:54.140
Like, couldn't, had a hard time looking at his parents.
01:40:58.660
And it changed him and set him on the course that he's on now.
01:41:05.900
And, and, and I don't even know if this was, I think this is part of the interview.
01:41:10.460
He was just talking about, you know, craziness of Trump and stuff.
01:41:18.160
He was on, when it was in 65th place or 64th place.
01:41:23.040
And he said, he said, you know, I was on Celebrity Apprentice.
01:41:28.920
So I, I know, and we talked about how Donald Trump claimed the money for charity that actually
01:41:39.440
And I wrote a check to, I mean, I wrote a check to his charity, but then he gave it to
01:41:45.400
And Donald Trump released that during the campaign as one of his charitable contributions.
01:41:52.260
But anyway, he said, and the most amazing thing, he said, I sat in a room.
01:41:58.860
Now, this is the time when he's 61st, 60th place.
01:42:05.160
I didn't realize it was that low and had been that low for a long time.
01:42:12.280
He said they were sitting there and it was him and maybe Trace.
01:42:17.940
And it was down to the two, the last two contestants.
01:42:20.400
I think it was Trace Adkins and, um, they're sitting down and, um, they're getting ready
01:42:26.800
to do this, this satellite tour and Donald Trump is with them.
01:42:31.300
And, uh, the guy from NBC comes out and says, okay, listen, uh, you talk about anything,
01:42:40.380
Um, ratings have not been good for quite some time.
01:42:47.180
He said, I didn't realize they were saying it to Donald Trump.
01:42:52.740
He said, but as it turns out, they were saying it to Donald.
01:42:58.380
And he said, they said, do not talk about the ratings.
01:43:06.060
They go on the satellite tour and, uh, they're introduced and they say, um, uh, you know,
01:43:11.460
hear from the celebrity apprentice is Donald Trump and trace.
01:43:15.060
And he said, he interrupts him and says, listen, before we go on, I want you to know our ratings
01:43:37.160
Arnold Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a loser, even though he had higher ratings than Donald
01:43:47.020
He was, he looks like a loser because Donald Trump is a master at just turning everything
01:43:55.040
I mean, that's the season they finished in 84th place and had 5.6 million in 2012, which
01:44:00.620
was, I mean, the worst season of celebrity apprentice, uh, but a little bit better than the
01:44:06.240
worst, the worst season of the regular apprentice and just a tick higher than, so that was not
01:44:17.040
I mean, that is worst ratings of the apprentice celebrity.
01:44:22.580
I mean, you're pretty accomplished when you can claim your number one, when you're actually
01:44:30.040
And have people believe it, have people believe it is the interesting part.
01:44:34.320
And I think it's just because he wrote that for, I think people wrote that so long with
01:44:45.300
Well, I mean, so by not calling him out and calling him like sociopathic about the lies
01:44:51.800
instead, the media just was like, ah, it's Donald Trump.
01:44:56.380
At least for a while until he got the nomination.
01:44:59.060
And I, but I mean, for the last 30 years, I don't mean the last 90 or 90, you know, a
01:45:08.480
You know, but I mean, this is not exclusive to Republicans by any means.
01:45:15.000
Everyone was like, you know, and he's just a joke.
01:45:29.340
Occasionally, he says TV was invented in the 1400s.
01:45:40.200
Some I hope this isn't happening with Ben Carson, but I don't understand Ben Carson.
01:46:09.840
Do you have the audio or you just have the quote?
01:46:11.380
No, just because it was a speech to the employees of the agency.
01:46:15.480
He was talking about America and how what a great land of opportunity it is.
01:46:20.880
And he said, and I'm quoting, there were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.
01:46:29.500
I don't think I've ever heard people who were kidnapped, chained, chained, forced into the bottom of the ship, called immigrants, whipped and it's like saying, you know, a lot of them were tourists.
01:46:43.500
They were just here and, you know, they eventually died here, but they were tourists.
01:46:48.340
He makes it worse, though, because he says, but they, too, had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.
01:47:00.880
In the bottom of the slave ship, that's what they're thinking.
01:47:02.860
They're probably thinking, could I go home out of here?
01:47:06.080
They were thinking, how can I get away from this godforsaken land that enslaves us so I could get back home?
01:47:14.660
They were thinking, man, has this vacation lasted too long?
01:47:21.520
They were working hard, just like the immigrants today.
01:47:29.500
If he was a white guy, he'd be out of office already.
01:47:37.180
I have serious issues with his ability to reason at times.
01:47:50.480
I can't even call it common sense, because it's not about him saying this like, oh my gosh,
01:47:55.120
don't you have common sense you don't say that?
01:47:57.740
Don't you have common sense enough to know that's not true?
01:48:00.900
Well, I mean, you know, look, it could be a function of him being in a media environment
01:48:07.580
You know, like a lot of times people, like, we've had this before where we go into interviews,
01:48:12.840
and your instinct as someone who's in the public eye is to say things that are interesting
01:48:19.480
to people that might cause them to think or cause them to rethink something.
01:48:23.680
And sometimes you realize that's not a good idea, particularly when it's not your show
01:48:28.320
or not your venue, because it will just get twisted into something else.
01:48:31.320
It's not your job to give someone who's interviewing you good material.
01:48:36.520
It's almost time to say hasta la vista to Ben Carson.
01:48:42.600
Is he making a point about immigration where, well, look, there's been a lot of people who
01:48:50.300
No, this is not struggling through tough times.
01:48:55.580
But my point is that might be, he might be trying to make a point that is sensible and
01:49:00.420
is trying to provide good material and went way too far.
01:49:03.860
But he doesn't, and this is why he's not president of the United States, by the way.
01:49:08.760
He's not capable of finding when he has those problems.
01:49:12.660
I would believe that if he was trying to find some entertaining things while he was on
01:49:17.360
stage in front of the entire country, but he wasn't.
01:49:21.440
He was practically sleeping on stage when the country was watching.
01:49:25.900
So he's not the guy who's like, I'm looking for a joke.
01:49:44.260
I mean, they had those weird juices that you get.
01:49:51.340
This is when you plug your cord, your phone into like an airport charging station.
01:49:57.780
Scammers know that when you recharge your phone, they can actually download a lot of your personal data.
01:50:11.040
I don't know if they have to plug into something else on the electrical system, but it goes into hot spots.
01:50:16.480
And if you're plugged in and you're recharging, they can hack into your phone and take all your personal data.
01:50:23.320

01:51:21.860
There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer,
01:51:32.680
That one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons.
01:51:38.340
It's almost like Michael Jackson giving a serious speech.
01:51:40.920
You know, I think he has all of the abilities, the electric speaking abilities of Michael Jackson.
01:51:46.440
Mr. Gorbachev, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate.
01:52:11.900
He has the energy level of Michael Jackson when he's just talking.
