The Glenn Beck Program - 4⧸18⧸17 - What Will Your Legacy Be？ & Allen West on Dealing With North Korea

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.040 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:11.860 North Korea is going to test missiles weekly, says senior official of the BBC.

00:00:17.500 Oh, that's good.

00:00:18.960 We have three aircraft carrier groups now going to the Korean Peninsula.

00:00:26.260 Yesterday, I saw Alan West.

00:00:28.080 He was walking in the hallway here at the Blaze and Mercury Studios.

00:00:31.420 And I said, hey, Alan, when's the last time we had three carrier groups in that region?

00:00:37.780 And he said, let me think.

00:00:41.240 Midway?

00:00:43.800 Oh, oh, by the way, the United States has 10 carrier groups total.

00:00:51.420 Three of them now are off the coast of North Korea.

00:00:56.720 That's war footing.

00:00:58.080 He said, you can't hold that war footing very long and you lose credibility.

00:01:04.840 You're sending a message.

00:01:06.760 This either implodes or explodes, but it is over.

00:01:11.380 You don't put three carrier groups there without it exploding or imploding.

00:01:17.140 We'll have more on that in just a second.

00:01:20.760 Also, the accused Facebook killer, Steve Stevens, faced multiple evictions and financial troubles and his mom wasn't very nice.

00:01:31.980 And I don't feel bad for him at all, at all.

00:01:36.320 They haven't caught him yet.

00:01:38.140 But maybe we should look at the victim for just a few minutes.

00:01:43.040 We begin there right now.

00:01:44.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:05.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:10.380 Do you ever think about your legacy?

00:02:15.420 I mean, I know dictators do that.

00:02:21.140 Presidents do that.

00:02:22.160 But have you ever thought of the legacy about building?

00:02:26.900 What are you building?

00:02:29.500 What do you leave behind?

00:02:31.140 None of us are really going to be remembered by a monument.

00:02:38.360 Most of us will never have a book in the library that people go to read about.

00:02:45.320 What are the intangible things that you leave behind just because of the way you live your life?

00:02:53.120 Last night, I sat with my eldest sister, Coletta, and we sat around the dining room table for about an hour or so.

00:03:09.280 She's writing a book.

00:03:10.820 She's writing a pie book.

00:03:12.240 It's a recipe book.

00:03:14.120 She said it may just be for, you know, her family and the kids.

00:03:19.860 Are you consulting on it?

00:03:20.640 I am consulting on it, yeah, kind of.

00:03:23.120 I'm not.

00:03:24.320 Did it help?

00:03:25.540 Yeah.

00:03:26.600 I'm not helping her with any of the words.

00:03:28.360 I'm just testing all of the pies.

00:03:34.380 And I suggested to her one of the last lines.

00:03:36.900 I said,

00:03:38.540 Consider this.

00:03:44.740 I remember people because of pies.

00:03:47.560 I remember people because I remember my grandmother used to make lemon meringue pie for me every time.

00:03:55.220 And it was just for me.

00:03:56.120 And she would make pie for each of us kids.

00:03:59.600 But she would make a lemon meringue pie.

00:04:01.700 I would always get one every time I would come to her house.

00:04:04.540 I remember walking in the front door and smelling it.

00:04:08.180 And I must have been eight years old.

00:04:10.740 The legacy she left for me was that lemon meringue pie says to me, I love you.

00:04:18.260 What is it that we're passing on to our friends and our family and our children?

00:04:26.440 For better or for worse, what you do today is building your legacy.

00:04:32.460 I did an interview with the New York Times yesterday.

00:04:42.340 Oof.

00:04:45.360 It was in their style section.

00:04:48.900 And it was about watches.

00:04:51.320 And it was...

00:04:52.500 It was about...

00:04:55.920 It turned into time.

00:04:58.100 He said,

00:04:58.640 Why are you fascinated by watches?

00:05:01.020 And I said,

00:05:01.420 I don't know.

00:05:02.460 I have three clocks in my kitchen.

00:05:06.780 And there's something about time and always has been with me.

00:05:09.760 Pat will tell you I'm a freak on clocks.

00:05:17.100 Maybe because for some reason,

00:05:19.940 maybe it's the legacy of my mother.

00:05:23.900 She left me suicide.

00:05:27.400 And maybe it's that that makes me understand and made me understand

00:05:31.420 even at a small age that life is short and life is precious.

00:05:39.640 I'm going to tell you about a man who was born in 1942 when the world was in the thick of fighting World War II.

00:05:51.420 He was a teenager when desegregation of American schools was just getting started.

00:06:00.680 He was in his 20s during the heart of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.

00:06:05.180 He worked as a foundry worker.

00:06:07.560 He worked as a foundry worker.

00:06:12.140 Foundry worker.

00:06:12.940 We don't have foundries really anymore.

00:06:14.980 Taking metal and melting it down.

00:06:17.060 Then pouring that liquid metal into a mold.

00:06:20.360 And it created new shapes, new tools, new parts.

00:06:23.660 We have 3D printing now.

00:06:27.260 Boeing just got the FAA to approve the first titanium part for one of their new jet airliners.

00:06:36.040 It's all 3D printed.

00:06:37.680 First time.

00:06:39.460 They said it will save Boeing $3 million per plane just to have this one part 3D printed.

00:06:49.780 Foundry workers worked with their hands.

00:06:53.660 They would pour that liquid metal in and then they would remove that new shape from the mold

00:07:00.140 and they would sand the rough edges and then they would scrub the molds and prepare for the next batch.

00:07:06.320 It was hard, honest, and old-fashioned work.

00:07:13.800 This man raised 9 children, had 5 daughters, 4 sons.

00:07:18.720 It wasn't easy.

00:07:19.880 It's not for any of us, especially when you get a divorce and he had a divorce.

00:07:23.660 He fixed cars on the side just to help keep food on the table and clothes on the backs of his children.

00:07:29.740 He was a dad that was there.

00:07:31.180 One of his daughters, Debbie, said he always taught her and her sisters that they needed to fend for themselves

00:07:36.820 and not depend on a man to provide for them.

00:07:40.060 She said he was gentle and sweet.

00:07:46.200 One of his sons said he was quiet and always respectful.

00:07:53.360 Eventually, he retired.

00:07:55.340 His daily trek to the foundry was now replaced with fishing on Lake Erie.

00:08:01.500 His kids had grown.

00:08:02.920 He had 14 grandchildren.

00:08:04.560 Among them, they affectionately called him the junk man

00:08:09.860 because his daughter, Debbie, said he'd pick up things off the street and fix them.

00:08:15.180 He'd pick up bikes and he'd fix them.

00:08:17.360 He'd go on long walks, usually, on the weekends, and he'd carry an empty plastic shopping bag

00:08:27.040 and he would collect cans and turn them in for money.

00:08:32.760 Debbie said he didn't need the extra money.

00:08:34.500 He just, just something that he did.

00:08:37.320 He was 74 years old.

00:08:43.740 His name was Robert Godwin Sr.

00:08:47.040 He was on one of his long walks.

00:08:50.100 This last Sunday afternoon, he was carrying a plastic bag.

00:08:56.820 He held that empty plastic bag up as if it were a shield in the last moment of his life.

00:09:04.920 I accidentally saw yesterday his shooting by the, quote, Facebook killer, end quote.

00:09:16.720 I'll never get that image out of my mind.

00:09:21.440 As he held that empty bag up as a shield and said,

00:09:26.420 No, wait, I don't understand.

00:09:27.900 He was carrying that plastic bag looking for cans along East 93rd Street in Cleveland

00:09:37.400 when what he had left of his life was cruelly stolen from him and his family.

00:09:47.600 And none of us would ever know his name had it not been for Facebook.

00:09:54.200 He would have just been another guy and a statistic on the streets of Cleveland.

00:10:07.400 The real tragedy of Robert Godwin Sr. is he wasn't done creating his legacy.

00:10:13.260 He still had a lot left to give to his family.

00:10:16.200 He had just left his son's home to pick up some basketball equipment

00:10:23.420 and take it to one of his other sons on Easter morning.

00:10:30.000 The opposite of Godwin's legacy is that of his killer.

00:10:34.940 No real legacy there.

00:10:37.300 What has he created?

00:10:38.960 Blame?

00:10:40.460 Hate?

00:10:42.300 Selfishness?

00:10:43.080 Darkness?

00:10:44.100 Despair?

00:10:44.700 I would hate to be a member of his family.

00:10:51.880 The legacy he has left.

00:10:56.940 Today, I want you to spend just a couple of minutes today.

00:11:00.260 At some point in your life, you have a down moment.

00:11:06.120 Just think of the legacy that you're creating.

00:11:09.460 Even small gestures can mean the world to people.

00:11:18.140 This last Sunday, Robert Godwin did not...

00:11:23.100 I'm sure he wasn't thinking about what he's leaving behind.

00:11:25.980 What am I building with my legacy?

00:11:32.560 But he was working on it nonetheless by visiting his son.

00:11:37.200 The hugs that he left his son and his daughter-in-law now mean more than any of them could have imagined.

00:11:44.260 Some good old-fashioned work.

00:11:51.520 We are the foundry workers when it comes to our own legacy.

00:11:55.900 We're fashioning the molds.

00:11:58.760 We're pouring in the liquid metal bit by bit, day by day.

00:12:02.440 And we are shaping that legacy.

00:12:08.440 One of Robert's daughters, Tanya, said,

00:12:11.140 he taught us about God.

00:12:12.340 He taught us about love.

00:12:13.380 He taught us about forgiveness.

00:12:14.620 Just to know that I'll never hear my father's voice again is devastating.

00:12:22.480 I want you to hear the legacy that this man left behind on Anderson Cooper last night.

00:12:32.240 I wasn't going to ask you this, but since you brought this person up,

00:12:35.240 and I'm not going to use this person's name in front of you,

00:12:37.880 but if this person is out there and they're listening,

00:12:41.500 what do you want them to know?

00:12:43.900 Obviously, you want them to turn themselves in,

00:12:45.660 but what would you say to them?

00:12:47.700 I would say turn yourself in.

00:12:49.640 That would be number one.

00:12:50.900 I mean, because although I do believe in forgiveness,

00:12:54.960 I do believe in the law,

00:12:57.020 meaning when you break the law,

00:12:59.040 there's a penalty for breaking the law.

00:13:01.080 And this man broke the law by taking my father's life.

00:13:04.560 And so although I forgive him,

00:13:06.880 there is still a penalty that he must pay for what he did to my dad.

00:13:11.780 And so I would want him to turn himself in.

00:13:14.780 And you know what?

00:13:15.780 I believe that God would give me the grace to even embrace this man and hug him without anything.

00:13:22.740 I truly do.

00:13:24.000 It's just the way my heart is,

00:13:28.880 and it's the right thing to do.

00:13:30.400 And so I just would want him to know that even in his worst estate,

00:13:37.300 that he's loved by God,

00:13:39.600 that God loves him,

00:13:40.720 even in the bad stuff that he did to my dad,

00:13:43.560 that he's still loved,

00:13:45.560 and that he has some worthwhile,

00:13:49.640 even though he's going to have to go through many things to get better,

00:13:53.540 there's worth in him.

00:13:55.260 And as long as there's life in him,

00:13:57.220 there is hope for him too.

00:13:58.900 I do believe that.

00:13:59.980 Boy,

00:14:01.360 if that's the legacy I could leave behind,

00:14:07.560 children that thought,

00:14:11.140 believed,

00:14:11.940 and behaved like that,

00:14:14.440 my life would have been well spent.

00:14:19.020 North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un

00:14:36.940 has a diabolical plan,

00:14:39.180 according to CNN.

00:14:40.660 In case tensions with the U.S. continue to escalate,

00:14:43.360 they are going to start kidnapping Americans.

00:14:46.360 Oh,

00:14:46.820 that's going to be,

00:14:47.360 that'll work.

00:14:48.600 That'll be fun.

00:14:49.380 That'll be work.

00:14:50.300 Yeah.

00:14:51.000 So,

00:14:51.640 what happens with three aircraft carrier groups?

00:15:00.180 There's one battle group in the Mediterranean,

00:15:02.920 it's the Sixth Fleet.

00:15:04.620 That has one carrier,

00:15:07.180 if I'm not mistaken.

00:15:08.900 So,

00:15:10.160 I don't know if I've ever seen more than one carrier

00:15:12.820 in the entire Mediterranean.

00:15:15.700 Maybe two?

00:15:16.620 Maybe?

00:15:16.880 We have three.

00:15:21.340 I mean,

00:15:21.980 they are signaling that there is a legitimate change in policy.

00:15:25.800 No,

00:15:26.060 they're signaling...

00:15:27.160 Big time.

00:15:27.740 They're signaling war is coming.

00:15:29.440 Well,

00:15:29.620 they're saying,

00:15:29.920 because they've been saying this,

00:15:31.660 that the policy of strategic patience...

00:15:34.620 Is over.

00:15:35.040 Is over.

00:15:35.540 In other words,

00:15:35.980 we're going to stop appeasing this guy.

00:15:37.640 Yeah.

00:15:37.860 And we're going to put the hammer down.

00:15:39.940 And I,

00:15:40.280 you know,

00:15:40.740 I'm not sure that's the best course of action.

00:15:43.680 I just...

00:15:44.540 Again,

00:15:45.180 I talked to Alan West yesterday.

00:15:46.360 He was getting ready to go on Dana's show.

00:15:48.160 And I talked to him in the green room for a few minutes.

00:15:50.040 And he said,

00:15:50.760 you know,

00:15:52.160 he said,

00:15:52.540 Glenn,

00:15:52.840 I know you've been saying it for a long time.

00:15:54.420 He said,

00:15:54.880 I was saying it under Clinton.

00:15:57.520 You have to take care of this,

00:16:00.100 these guys.

00:16:00.700 You have to...

00:16:02.260 They're going to get nuclear weapons.

00:16:04.240 And then,

00:16:05.180 all the options are bad.

00:16:06.660 I mean,

00:16:07.000 didn't we say that?

00:16:07.920 We're headed,

00:16:08.880 right now,

00:16:10.040 we are facing in North Korea,

00:16:12.440 what we're going to face with the mullahs in Iran.

00:16:16.340 Yeah.

00:16:16.740 Think about that.

00:16:18.340 What do you think we're going to do when Iran gets nuclear-tipped missiles?

00:16:23.000 You talk about crazy people.

00:16:24.840 They're star-craving nuts.

00:16:26.960 The mullahs in Iran are just nuts.

00:16:30.360 That's not a good scenario.

00:16:31.120 I will tell you,

00:16:31.740 I'm not sure.

00:16:34.080 I think this guy is legitimately nuts.

00:16:36.940 Kim Jong-un?

00:16:37.580 Yes.

00:16:38.040 Would you agree with that?

00:16:39.640 Yeah.

00:16:40.220 I think he's legitimately nuts.

00:16:42.280 Yeah.

00:16:42.720 I don't think the mullahs are nuts.

00:16:44.440 I think they're religious zealots.

00:16:46.120 Well,

00:16:46.500 yeah,

00:16:46.920 but to the point of being nuts.

00:16:49.280 Right.

00:16:49.740 Yeah.

00:16:51.240 Like the people who like charm snakes in church are also religious zealots,

00:16:55.480 but maybe nuts.

00:16:56.880 Well,

00:16:57.560 well,

00:16:58.320 okay.

00:16:59.180 Maybe I see that.

00:17:00.600 Back in just a second.

00:17:01.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:22.840 Mercury.

00:17:23.480 Mercury.

00:17:26.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:28.900 Can I just,

00:17:32.280 can I,

00:17:32.660 can I just,

00:17:34.060 may I just,

00:17:35.720 I don't,

00:17:36.260 I mean,

00:17:36.540 I don't want to,

00:17:37.600 I don't want to sound like this is a good thing,

00:17:41.340 um,

00:17:41.780 by any stretch of the imagination,

00:17:43.140 but how come we haven't caught this guy yet?

00:17:46.200 I mean,

00:17:46.420 don't we have all this technology that's been spooking the hell out of all of us?

00:17:49.240 I don't know.

00:17:49.260 Maybe we don't have the technology we think we have.

00:17:51.620 Because we should have been caught a long time ago.

00:17:53.680 I mean,

00:17:53.940 we are all so spooked by,

00:17:55.880 you know,

00:17:56.480 how the government could just grab you at any time.

00:18:00.660 They can get your cell phone.

00:18:01.640 They know where you are every minute of the day.

00:18:03.560 This guy's uploading videos and like,

00:18:06.020 hey,

00:18:06.440 I'm on Snapchat and look at me.

00:18:08.380 I mean,

00:18:08.740 how do we not find him already?

00:18:11.080 Yeah,

00:18:11.240 I go back and forth between like the Edward Snowden view of the world,

00:18:15.260 which is they have everything all the time to this where like they,

00:18:18.840 you know,

00:18:19.020 when the most basic things happen,

00:18:20.380 this guy is,

00:18:21.160 how do we not have him?

00:18:21.940 I mean,

00:18:23.140 on 24,

00:18:23.960 we can transfer video to their screen on their cell phone,

00:18:27.460 17 miles away.

00:18:29.000 Right.

00:18:29.480 We can't,

00:18:30.340 we can't find this stinking guy.

00:18:31.920 No,

00:18:31.940 seriously.

00:18:32.300 And I,

00:18:32.640 I mean,

00:18:33.260 I am,

00:18:33.860 I'm so torn on this because I want this guy caught.

00:18:38.720 The Cleveland murder.

00:18:39.340 And I can't believe that we don't have him in custody.

00:18:42.840 And I was,

00:18:43.240 I got up this morning and I thought this guy's look,

00:18:46.540 I mean,

00:18:47.120 he's not the lead story today.

00:18:49.720 He's not the lead story today.

00:18:52.500 And by tomorrow,

00:18:53.880 he certainly is going to be,

00:18:55.460 you know,

00:18:55.800 down in the,

00:18:56.660 does he decide,

00:18:58.140 you know,

00:18:58.420 I got to do something else.

00:18:59.660 We got to catch this guy before he kills again.

00:19:03.440 And who knows,

00:19:04.400 maybe he already has killed people.

00:19:07.300 We don't know where he is.

00:19:08.960 And so I'm,

00:19:09.900 I really want to catch this guy.

00:19:11.580 And on the other hand,

00:19:12.420 I'm thinking,

00:19:13.360 well,

00:19:14.300 wow,

00:19:14.720 who,

00:19:15.400 maybe the technology that the government,

00:19:17.740 we think the government has,

00:19:19.720 they don't have all that because I can't believe we haven't triangulated this guy's position.

00:19:28.380 Yeah.

00:19:28.960 Yeah.

00:19:29.160 I mean,

00:19:29.580 but maybe he's just,

00:19:30.480 maybe he's just completely gone off.

00:19:32.100 They can turn on your computer in the middle of the night and watch you sleep.

00:19:35.300 You would think they could find this guy.

00:19:37.500 And he still apparently has his phone because they pinged him in,

00:19:41.020 in Pennsylvania.

00:19:42.860 He's turning off the phone.

00:19:44.280 Well,

00:19:44.400 what happened to the whole thing of,

00:19:46.280 oh,

00:19:46.360 they can turn your,

00:19:47.040 your phone's never off.

00:19:48.320 Yeah.

00:19:48.800 Well,

00:19:48.940 apparently his is,

00:19:50.680 you know what I mean?

00:19:52.540 They know which phone it is.

00:19:54.440 It's so weird.

00:19:55.500 It's really strange.

00:19:57.420 It's really strange.

00:19:58.280 How do you even drive around these days without them knowing where you are with cameras?

00:20:02.900 With your GPS?

00:20:03.600 What kind of car does he have?

00:20:04.920 What kind of car does he have?

00:20:06.060 He has a newer car.

00:20:07.280 How does there not have,

00:20:08.220 how do they not have a tracking?

00:20:09.400 In fact,

00:20:10.380 he has like a Camaro or something,

00:20:12.260 doesn't he?

00:20:12.500 A newer,

00:20:13.580 or something like that.

00:20:15.620 He has a newer car.

00:20:16.620 It was a Fusion.

00:20:17.640 It was a Ford Fusion,

00:20:18.580 right?

00:20:18.720 Oh,

00:20:18.880 was it a Fusion?

00:20:20.860 Now,

00:20:21.300 he owes money on another car that wasn't a Fusion.

00:20:24.300 But Fusion,

00:20:25.120 I mean,

00:20:25.560 it's a lot of technology in the Fusion.

00:20:27.140 Fusion has,

00:20:28.320 like,

00:20:28.500 doesn't the Fusion have the,

00:20:30.440 the hard drive for all of your music?

00:20:32.760 I think it does.

00:20:33.800 And like,

00:20:34.060 you can record your,

00:20:35.960 like,

00:20:36.540 CDs or your iPod into the car,

00:20:40.520 and then the car just holds your music.

00:20:42.140 Nice.

00:20:42.620 I mean,

00:20:42.780 that's really cool.

00:20:44.500 Yeah,

00:20:44.620 I mean,

00:20:44.780 that has a,

00:20:45.260 you know,

00:20:45.560 wouldn't necessarily get you found unless you played the music really loud.

00:20:48.620 But still.

00:20:49.640 No,

00:20:49.840 but I mean,

00:20:50.180 it's got a lot of technology in it.

00:20:52.840 They do.

00:20:53.100 That's a voice recognition thing.

00:20:54.000 I mean,

00:20:54.020 boy,

00:20:54.240 you know,

00:20:54.480 I tell you.

00:20:54.980 Ford cars have a lot of technology in them.

00:20:56.080 Yeah,

00:20:56.400 the,

00:20:56.740 the,

00:20:57.100 the,

00:20:57.440 the Fords of today,

00:21:00.180 you could take the greatest car from the,

00:21:02.500 seventies or eighties and compare it to the crappiest Ford today.

00:21:06.420 And it's,

00:21:06.900 it's,

00:21:07.360 and the,

00:21:07.700 the new Ford is better than anything else.

00:21:10.380 Oh,

00:21:10.640 it's,

00:21:10.840 I don't even think you have to go back that far.

00:21:12.500 You could be in the nineties and easily make that happen.

00:21:14.840 Yeah.

00:21:15.200 I mean,

00:21:15.500 you know,

00:21:15.820 you go back to these older cars,

00:21:17.060 which I have one,

00:21:17.780 as we were kind of talking about in the break,

00:21:18.960 you mentioned your MG.

00:21:20.320 I have an MGB as well.

00:21:22.160 I just love,

00:21:22.720 I bought one because I just loved them when I was a kid.

00:21:25.220 So I have a,

00:21:26.000 you know,

00:21:26.160 a little,

00:21:26.700 and it's just,

00:21:27.380 you know,

00:21:27.560 it's nothing.

00:21:28.300 It's a 78 MGB.

00:21:30.240 And it,

00:21:30.820 you know,

00:21:31.100 it's just fun.

00:21:32.360 I just love it.

00:21:33.080 That was the one I wanted to have.

00:21:34.700 I had,

00:21:35.040 I had about a 71 and I really wanted to have the hot 78.

00:21:39.880 It was still used at the time I bought it.

00:21:42.620 A 78 still would have been used,

00:21:44.080 but that was a great car.

00:21:45.200 But you know,

00:21:46.100 I,

00:21:46.340 you are driving that car.

00:21:47.740 You,

00:21:47.980 you realize how far we've come.

00:21:50.960 I mean,

00:21:51.540 well,

00:21:51.980 well,

00:21:52.200 wait,

00:21:52.400 wait a minute.

00:21:53.080 That's English.

00:21:54.140 No,

00:21:54.360 it was a crappy car even for the time.

00:21:56.180 Always sucks.

00:21:56.760 No,

00:21:57.140 you're right.

00:21:57.600 It was a crappy car even for the time.

00:21:59.240 Yeah.

00:21:59.400 But I mean,

00:21:59.820 just to the basic,

00:22:01.120 I mean,

00:22:01.440 you know,

00:22:01.820 the very basic,

00:22:03.460 like for example,

00:22:04.220 the car has no air conditioning and it's like,

00:22:06.680 I mean,

00:22:07.100 that does that,

00:22:07.740 does that even exist in a car anymore?

00:22:09.020 It was a soft top.

00:22:10.760 It's a convertible.

00:22:11.660 It still is.

00:22:12.220 But I mean,

00:22:12.660 that's your air conditioning.

00:22:14.180 Yeah,

00:22:14.340 I know,

00:22:14.820 but not today.

00:22:16.120 What I grew up,

00:22:16.680 what I grew up is.

00:22:17.120 Find a convertible that's being sold today that doesn't have air conditioning in it.

00:22:20.400 Good luck.

00:22:21.520 I never thought of it that way here.

00:22:22.720 I mean,

00:22:23.220 like those,

00:22:23.600 those features are,

00:22:24.780 and then add on the technology,

00:22:26.340 obviously,

00:22:27.160 you know,

00:22:27.420 this between the stereo and GPS.

00:22:29.380 Just the way the cars run.

00:22:31.200 Like just turning the car.

00:22:32.860 This car has no power steering.

00:22:34.120 No,

00:22:34.280 it has rack and pinion steering.

00:22:35.780 I know.

00:22:36.280 That's what I'm saying.

00:22:36.640 You don't want power steering.

00:22:37.760 That rack and pinion was an upgrade.

00:22:40.860 At the time,

00:22:41.580 it was the big thing,

00:22:42.660 but now,

00:22:43.600 you could,

00:22:44.040 I could drive a car with my pinkie.

00:22:45.760 Rack and pinion steering.

00:22:47.800 I mean,

00:22:47.900 that was the big thing.

00:22:48.480 Rack and pinion,

00:22:49.080 wait,

00:22:49.320 wait,

00:22:49.460 wait,

00:22:49.640 wait,

00:22:49.760 wait.

00:22:50.140 Rack and pinion steering,

00:22:51.460 though,

00:22:51.660 I believe is still the thing for a real sports car.

00:22:56.080 I'm sure it is.

00:22:57.160 Oh,

00:22:57.240 it absolutely is.

00:22:57.360 But I mean,

00:22:57.640 it's not going to be as hard to drive as this thing is.

00:22:59.980 Like just doing the little three-point turn I have to do to get it out.

00:23:03.500 You don't want a car that doesn't have a rack and pinion.

00:23:05.100 I remember having a

00:23:06.060 crank that steering wheel.

00:23:08.100 You should drive my,

00:23:09.160 if you drive a car from the 1970s,

00:23:11.200 you could skip the gym for sure.

00:23:12.380 You should,

00:23:12.680 you should drive.

00:23:13.440 You think that's hard?

00:23:14.720 You should drive my 1958 Apache truck.

00:23:20.300 Didn't,

00:23:20.520 didn't you get rid of that yet?

00:23:21.540 No.

00:23:24.000 No,

00:23:24.460 my wife gave it to me as a birthday and it's beautiful.

00:23:26.740 I know.

00:23:27.180 It's really nice.

00:23:27.760 It's absolutely beautiful.

00:23:28.340 I thought you were going to get rid of it.

00:23:29.880 I drove it,

00:23:30.920 you want to talk about,

00:23:32.280 you know,

00:23:32.540 only driven by a little old man who only drove it once.

00:23:35.380 It's that I drove it.

00:23:37.420 We had to get a,

00:23:38.420 I just got it.

00:23:40.140 And my daughter get in,

00:23:41.920 got into the car,

00:23:42.840 Hannah.

00:23:43.780 And she said,

00:23:44.780 dad,

00:23:45.080 I,

00:23:45.440 I'd love to learn how to drive the truck.

00:23:47.140 And I'm like,

00:23:47.500 ah,

00:23:47.680 come,

00:23:48.080 come with me.

00:23:48.560 I'm going to run to the Walgreens and get something for Tanya.

00:23:52.060 So,

00:23:52.680 um,

00:23:53.280 we're driving down the road.

00:23:54.980 I get into the parking lot of the Walgreens,

00:23:58.300 which is maybe a mile and a half away.

00:24:00.120 I'm winded.

00:24:01.760 I'm like,

00:24:02.260 this is the hardest damn car I have ever.

00:24:05.020 And I realized why my grandmother never drived,

00:24:09.520 never drived,

00:24:10.380 never drove.

00:24:11.300 We had,

00:24:12.120 we had a truck like that.

00:24:14.620 My grandpa always drove.

00:24:16.540 My grandmother would not have been able to handle that truck.

00:24:20.220 I mean,

00:24:20.920 it is tough.

00:24:22.880 It is a man's truck.

00:24:26.820 That's why I need to get rid of it.

00:24:29.880 But I mean,

00:24:30.480 think about that.

00:24:31.000 Really,

00:24:31.300 the cheapest car that you can lease for a couple hundred bucks a month.

00:24:35.720 It now has tons of technology in it.

00:24:38.840 It,

00:24:39.080 it,

00:24:39.380 it,

00:24:39.500 it drives so easily and smoothly gets decent gas mileage.

00:24:43.720 Like,

00:24:44.160 I mean,

00:24:44.380 all the things that,

00:24:45.460 you know,

00:24:45.620 have been tough for car companies to do this entire time.

00:24:48.900 They all do now.

00:24:49.560 All of them.

00:24:50.380 A Kia,

00:24:51.080 uh,

00:24:51.200 you know,

00:24:51.480 a,

00:24:51.720 you know,

00:24:52.120 the cheapest cars.

00:24:53.020 I mean,

00:24:53.140 you talked about,

00:24:53.720 uh,

00:24:54.320 South Korea.

00:24:55.040 I mean,

00:24:55.340 Hyundai used to be a joke.

00:24:57.160 Oh,

00:24:57.300 it was a joke.

00:24:57.940 Those cars are really good now.

00:24:59.720 The Sonata.

00:25:00.180 What is that?

00:25:00.680 $65,000 now?

00:25:02.360 The Genesis.

00:25:03.260 I mean,

00:25:03.420 that thing is really,

00:25:04.880 but even their lower models are really nice.

00:25:08.340 They're comfortable.

00:25:09.220 They ride really smoothly.

00:25:10.580 They get good gas mileage.

00:25:11.800 They have great technology.

00:25:12.180 It's just weird because my perception of Hyundai is that it's a,

00:25:14.800 you know,

00:25:16.300 it's a crap can.

00:25:17.240 I remember,

00:25:17.860 you know what it is?

00:25:19.540 We,

00:25:19.720 as our generation looks at stuff like Kia's,

00:25:24.740 like the,

00:25:25.940 uh,

00:25:26.440 generation that we grew up with looked at anything from Japan,

00:25:30.420 a Toyota.

00:25:31.160 Yeah.

00:25:31.500 Yeah.

00:25:31.680 They looked at,

00:25:32.200 they looked at Toyotas and went,

00:25:33.580 that's a piece of crap.

00:25:34.440 It's made in Japan.

00:25:35.640 Yeah.

00:25:35.920 And we're like,

00:25:36.460 no guys,

00:25:37.500 Japan is beating the snot out of us on everything now.

00:25:41.280 Yeah.

00:25:41.760 Yeah.

00:25:42.500 That's true.

00:25:43.120 It's true.

00:25:43.600 I mean,

00:25:43.740 that was really the,

00:25:44.660 you know,

00:25:44.980 every era,

00:25:45.760 I guess,

00:25:46.020 has its,

00:25:46.660 uh,

00:25:46.680 has,

00:25:47.080 has it,

00:25:47.440 because it built,

00:25:48.080 it gets built into you.

00:25:49.080 And over time,

00:25:49.660 even when the product improves,

00:25:51.200 it's impossible.

00:25:51.820 Have you ever noticed if you've ever driven into like,

00:25:54.760 if you have a Cadillac,

00:25:56.240 I wonder you're,

00:25:56.780 cause you have a Cadillac,

00:25:57.740 but you have the sports Cadillac.

00:25:59.540 If you drive in a Cadillac or you drive in a,

00:26:02.160 uh,

00:26:03.020 Mercedes or something like that,

00:26:04.760 the technology in the car,

00:26:07.260 not nearly as good as it is in like a Ford,

00:26:11.320 uh,

00:26:11.920 what would the car,

00:26:12.620 the,

00:26:12.900 uh,

00:26:13.380 fusion,

00:26:13.860 fusion.

00:26:14.160 And I think it's because the people who could afford to buy a Mercedes,

00:26:20.460 they're not there.

00:26:21.520 They're old.

00:26:22.300 They're old.

00:26:23.080 And so they're not into the technology.

00:26:25.020 Ford fusion has to have,

00:26:26.840 cause it's your entry car.

00:26:28.080 So it has to have all of the technology that everybody would expect.

00:26:32.400 It's basically an iPhone on wheels.

00:26:34.240 Like that's what a lot of it really is.

00:26:37.100 Really is.

00:26:38.160 Did you hear that?

00:26:39.020 Elon Musk said that next year,

00:26:42.500 this is,

00:26:43.500 and you know what?

00:26:44.420 Let's talk about this tomorrow.

00:26:45.720 Write this down.

00:26:46.300 Cause we're out of time here.

00:26:47.620 Let's talk tomorrow about the new,

00:26:51.080 um,

00:26:53.380 uh,

00:26:54.300 Elon Musk,

00:26:55.560 Tesla,

00:26:57.240 semi trucks that are coming to the market next year.

00:27:02.760 That means not only that it will be an electric truck,

00:27:07.740 but that is the first step towards self-driving semi trucks.

00:27:13.740 How many people in the truck driving industry,

00:27:17.920 I want you to tell your trucker friends to call tomorrow.

00:27:23.300 I want to know what is the union,

00:27:26.300 the truckers union saying about self-driving semi trucks?

00:27:30.520 What are they saying to the workers?

00:27:33.080 Are you hearing anything among the,

00:27:35.600 the truck drivers that self-driving semi trucks are coming in the next five years,

00:27:42.260 and you're going to be out of a job.

00:27:43.680 this is going to be the first massive impact of technology will be the semi trucks,

00:27:50.540 unless the government and the unions get in the way.

00:27:54.600 And my guess is that's exactly what's going to happen.

00:27:57.760 The unions will pressure the government and they'll say,

00:28:01.320 you can't just get rid of these.

00:28:02.940 It's not safe.

00:28:03.980 It's not this.

00:28:04.680 It's not that.

00:28:05.840 And the unions will pressure the government to be able to stop the semi trucks from being fully automated.

00:28:12.100 That would stink.

00:28:15.960 Right.

00:28:16.160 I mean,

00:28:16.380 that would,

00:28:16.560 that would be in the way of progress.

00:28:18.040 You're progressive.

00:28:18.880 Really?

00:28:19.320 Are you?

00:28:20.000 You're progressive.

00:28:20.980 You're getting in the way of progress.

00:28:23.260 Getting in the way of,

00:28:24.140 of capitalism and companies making money.

00:28:26.960 Yep.

00:28:27.580 But if we can automate the highways,

00:28:33.040 think of how many lives we'll save.

00:28:35.360 Think how many,

00:28:36.620 think how your products will be moved faster and better.

00:28:39.420 You don't have to stop,

00:28:40.280 pull off of the side of the road and stop.

00:28:42.400 Think of the time of getting a product from one place to another.

00:28:48.760 I mean,

00:28:49.680 they don't stop.

00:28:51.360 Truckers are getting on their CBs right now and talking about it.

00:28:54.100 They're talking about breaker one.

00:28:55.740 Their CBs.

00:28:56.620 Yeah.

00:28:56.960 Yeah.

00:28:57.240 They're talking about,

00:28:58.060 we got to be here.

00:28:59.580 Good buddy on the show tomorrow.

00:29:01.300 All right.

00:29:01.600 On the show tomorrow.

00:29:02.220 Make sure you convoy to the program.

00:29:04.320 Make sure you,

00:29:04.900 because I really like to hear from truck drivers.

00:29:06.980 Yeah.

00:29:07.480 And what you're hearing globally,

00:29:09.200 the pig bed,

00:29:09.840 you want to back that thing up.

00:29:10.860 Globally,

00:29:12.520 1.3 million people die in car crashes every year.

00:29:16.940 1.3 million people.

00:29:18.640 What is it?

00:29:19.320 Like 56,000 in the United States alone?

00:29:21.280 It's tens of thousands.

00:29:22.240 Yeah.

00:29:22.320 37,000 in road crashes in the United States.

00:29:26.320 I mean,

00:29:26.520 those are,

00:29:26.860 those are numbers that actually with technology could solve at least 90% of them.

00:29:32.040 But you know what I heard from a,

00:29:33.140 I read an article from somebody in Washington.

00:29:35.200 And that wasn't enough,

00:29:36.040 right?

00:29:36.360 According to that article,

00:29:37.400 it wasn't enough.

00:29:37.900 In Washington,

00:29:39.020 it was a,

00:29:39.560 it was a person in Congress who said,

00:29:42.680 if we can only save one,

00:29:45.460 if we can only save four out of every five people,

00:29:49.440 is that enough?

00:29:50.820 And what happened to,

00:29:51.900 if you save one life,

00:29:53.560 isn't it worth doing?

00:29:54.840 Right.

00:29:55.100 This is if we can only save four out of every five,

00:29:58.960 is it enough?

00:30:00.080 But I mean,

00:30:00.340 if you see,

00:30:00.780 there are dangers to automated cars.

00:30:02.640 I mean,

00:30:02.740 if you look at the documentary,

00:30:04.120 the fate of the furious in which Charlize Theron actually controlled with an iPad,

00:30:08.460 all the cars in New York city had them crashing out of garages onto people.

00:30:13.580 We're being terrified.

00:30:15.060 Guys,

00:30:15.640 that's not a documentary.

00:30:17.300 No,

00:30:17.460 I saw it.

00:30:18.080 No,

00:30:18.300 it's not a,

00:30:19.440 I'll explain it later.

00:30:22.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:25.800 Mercury.

00:30:29.640 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:32.200 Again,

00:30:33.040 we're just talking about,

00:30:34.540 you know,

00:30:35.040 what happens,

00:30:36.120 you know,

00:30:36.420 you get these self-driving trucks out and somebody hacks into them and,

00:30:40.960 you know,

00:30:41.100 they mow down a lot of people.

00:30:42.300 It'll be like what's happening now with Facebook.

00:30:44.840 Here's almost 2 billion Facebook users.

00:30:49.500 They've had a murder and everybody's saying,

00:30:51.740 this could be the end of Facebook live.

00:30:53.660 2 billion users and one has done this.

00:30:59.620 They've had,

00:31:00.120 well,

00:31:00.540 they've had a few incidents.

00:31:02.660 They've had a few incidents.

00:31:03.880 Yeah.

00:31:04.360 They've had some suicides.

00:31:05.980 They've had some rapes.

00:31:07.200 They had some really bad stuff happen.

00:31:08.920 But again,

00:31:09.540 it's 2 billion.

00:31:11.720 I was just looking at some sites rundown of it.

00:31:14.700 It was probably,

00:31:15.580 it was less than 10 instances.

00:31:17.620 Right.

00:31:17.960 So put that in.

00:31:18.840 2 billion people,

00:31:20.100 less than 10.

00:31:20.720 That's better than any medication that you buy over the counter that everybody trusts.

00:31:25.380 And by the way,

00:31:26.320 Facebook had absolutely nothing to do with it.

00:31:28.460 Nothing.

00:31:28.860 And it wasn't even on Facebook live,

00:31:30.460 even though everyone keeps saying it was Facebook live,

00:31:32.180 which it wasn't.

00:31:32.640 He just uploaded a video.

00:31:34.160 I mean,

00:31:34.480 I mean,

00:31:34.780 there's,

00:31:35.020 and how can you ever stop that?

00:31:36.420 I mean,

00:31:36.700 you can't.

00:31:37.380 You can't.

00:31:37.960 It's too good.

00:31:38.300 Again,

00:31:38.680 video on Facebook,

00:31:39.820 which is not going to happen.

00:31:40.560 Some side effects,

00:31:41.260 the side effects of Facebook with this are in the 0.000 percentage.

00:31:47.820 I mean,

00:31:48.200 it's the,

00:31:49.300 it's one of the safest things out there.

00:31:51.860 And yet everybody's freaking out.

00:31:54.640 It was a bad thing,

00:31:56.560 but one guy out of 2 billion.

00:31:59.720 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:03.740 Mercury.

00:32:17.320 The blaze radio network on demand.

00:32:26.640 The accused Facebook killer,

00:32:28.620 Steve Stevens.

00:32:29.240 Do we have to call him the accused Facebook?

00:32:31.260 I mean,

00:32:31.840 how about not calling him the Facebook killer?

00:32:33.720 It has nothing to do with Facebook.

00:32:35.140 He posted a video of it happening.

00:32:37.000 He's a murderer.

00:32:37.800 It's got,

00:32:38.060 it's not Facebook's fault.

00:32:39.920 Jeez.

00:32:41.040 He's he faced multiple evictions and financial trouble.

00:32:45.060 And it was his mom's fault.

00:32:47.520 And it's his girlfriend's fault.

00:32:49.820 And I don't care,

00:32:52.140 but can we get him off of the street?

00:32:55.060 Also yesterday,

00:32:56.840 Trump called Erdogan in Turkey to concur,

00:33:00.640 congratulate him on his contested referendum.

00:33:05.800 Okay.

00:33:06.740 A couple of things.

00:33:08.220 We should not be caught congratulating a dictator on his seizing of additional

00:33:14.060 powers.

00:33:14.700 But on top of that,

00:33:17.840 I can't take the press saying that Erdogan is now a dictator and he's doing all kinds of

00:33:25.880 things to screw the country of Turkey.

00:33:28.220 when Barack Obama said that was his best friend on the world stage.

00:33:34.760 And he had the most in common with Erdogan.

00:33:38.100 And they praised Erdogan at that time.

00:33:41.420 And now suddenly a phone call saying,

00:33:45.300 Hey,

00:33:45.380 congratulations on the referendum.

00:33:47.460 And Donald Trump is tangling with a wannabe dictator.

00:33:52.120 I can't take the hypocrisy anymore.

00:33:57.580 Lots to talk about.

00:33:58.480 We begin right now.

00:33:59.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:34:21.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:27.320 So yesterday we were talking about survivor.

00:34:29.960 Gee,

00:34:30.460 who knew that it was even on?

00:34:32.240 Um,

00:34:33.320 uh,

00:34:34.680 we were talking about survivor and how this one guy was,

00:34:40.180 was fired because at the council meeting,

00:34:43.840 the tribe meeting,

00:34:44.680 he said,

00:34:46.120 you know,

00:34:46.340 he was trying to,

00:34:48.420 he was trying to say,

00:34:49.320 this guy's not being honest with us.

00:34:52.200 And the way he did it,

00:34:53.460 he said,

00:34:54.000 you want to tell him about your sex change?

00:34:57.640 And he just outed that this person,

00:35:00.120 this guy was used to be a woman.

00:35:02.280 Yeah.

00:35:02.420 He asked him,

00:35:02.920 why haven't you,

00:35:04.040 why haven't you shared that you're transgender?

00:35:06.820 And I didn't seem like a big deal on the show,

00:35:10.020 but,

00:35:10.540 uh,

00:35:11.040 he was fired back home.

00:35:12.460 I think from his job in Atlanta,

00:35:14.400 and,

00:35:15.080 uh,

00:35:16.480 isn't that what you do on,

00:35:17.940 on those?

00:35:19.180 Yeah.

00:35:19.720 There's a couple of things.

00:35:21.060 There's a couple of things here.

00:35:22.180 You try to get other people kicked off the island.

00:35:23.820 And he was saying the guy's being dishonest.

00:35:25.740 Right.

00:35:26.040 So there's a couple of things to,

00:35:27.720 to,

00:35:28.040 to factor in here.

00:35:29.780 One,

00:35:30.280 I don't think you out people.

00:35:31.800 I mean,

00:35:32.060 it's just like,

00:35:32.600 you know,

00:35:33.620 you know,

00:35:34.280 you're,

00:35:34.660 you're doing something and you're,

00:35:36.300 what are you going to out?

00:35:37.360 You know,

00:35:37.760 you're going to out me for being a Christian.

00:35:39.820 Are you going to out me for being gay?

00:35:41.400 You're going to out me for being transgendered.

00:35:43.380 That's just not cool.

00:35:44.880 However,

00:35:45.800 aren't they both gay?

00:35:47.440 Yeah.

00:35:47.680 Well,

00:35:47.900 hang on before you get to that.

00:35:49.740 Um,

00:35:50.180 this is a reality show.

00:35:51.660 Like Pat said,

00:35:52.480 this is a reality show.

00:35:54.200 These don't have rules like that.

00:35:56.260 And if you're in the closet,

00:35:57.560 probably a bad place to go is a reality.

00:36:00.520 It's a reality show.

00:36:01.940 Yes.

00:36:02.420 Right.

00:36:02.720 It's going to come out.

00:36:03.940 Right.

00:36:04.260 How did the guy,

00:36:05.760 how did the guy find out that he was transgendered?

00:36:10.840 It,

00:36:11.440 it was either fed by somebody on the,

00:36:14.180 you know,

00:36:14.600 on the staff and the crew,

00:36:16.640 or it came out in some conversation.

00:36:19.800 Well,

00:36:20.200 so,

00:36:20.780 okay.

00:36:21.840 If you don't want to be outed,

00:36:23.720 you probably shouldn't be on a reality show where it's kill or be killed.

00:36:28.540 The second thing is,

00:36:31.280 is what Pat said.

00:36:32.760 The guy who outed him was gay,

00:36:35.480 which two thoughts on that.

00:36:37.360 Then you should know how outing is wrong.

00:36:41.640 I mean,

00:36:42.300 would you have liked it if somebody came over and,

00:36:44.760 you know,

00:36:44.980 before you told your parents and everything else,

00:36:46.840 they were like,

00:36:47.220 Oh,

00:36:47.460 by the way,

00:36:50.300 your son is gay.

00:36:52.440 What?

00:36:54.560 So he was outed,

00:36:56.300 but he was outed by a gay guy.

00:36:59.740 So compassion.

00:37:02.420 Second,

00:37:04.800 transgender.

00:37:06.180 Does this now Trump?

00:37:09.740 Plain old everyday homosexuality,

00:37:12.480 which special interscoop wins in this particular battle.

00:37:17.180 For instance,

00:37:18.380 transgenders now beat women,

00:37:22.220 women.

00:37:22.880 You know,

00:37:23.280 there's almost no chance of winning against the,

00:37:26.200 the feminist movement or women's movement.

00:37:28.860 Well,

00:37:29.100 women always,

00:37:29.960 the bathroom issue,

00:37:30.300 right?

00:37:30.880 Except for the bathroom issue.

00:37:32.680 Now,

00:37:33.060 transgender beat our daughters,

00:37:37.020 our children,

00:37:38.760 pretty amazing.

00:37:39.560 And our,

00:37:40.160 and our wives and women.

00:37:42.200 They don't count for anything up against transgender.

00:37:45.100 They lose.

00:37:45.980 However,

00:37:47.220 if you're,

00:37:47.940 if you're a lesbian,

00:37:49.280 like a weird NCAA tournament going on.

00:37:51.160 I know.

00:37:51.640 If there,

00:37:52.020 if you're a lesbian,

00:37:53.720 I believe you beat transgender.

00:37:57.800 I'm not sure.

00:37:58.700 I don't know.

00:37:59.140 This is interesting.

00:37:59.480 I'm not sure anybody beats transgenders right now.

00:38:01.780 I think so.

00:38:02.740 I think so.

00:38:03.360 I've read,

00:38:04.100 I've read several articles that lesbian,

00:38:06.760 there's this thing because lesbians are saying,

00:38:10.720 you're not,

00:38:12.160 I don't remember what it was.

00:38:13.160 You're not real women or,

00:38:14.940 or whatever.

00:38:15.380 Something that nobody else could possibly ever say.

00:38:18.460 Seems insensitive.

00:38:19.140 Yes.

00:38:20.540 And I never see them called on it for it.

00:38:23.300 Because I feel like still,

00:38:24.260 like there certainly would never be a law passed right now that gay people couldn't do something like go into whatever bathroom they wanted.

00:38:33.240 Right?

00:38:33.380 Like that would never happen.

00:38:35.120 However,

00:38:35.480 there are still laws that are passed saying that transgendered people can't go into their chosen bathroom.

00:38:41.840 Right?

00:38:42.060 So I think like,

00:38:43.400 you know,

00:38:43.740 it feels like maybe.

00:38:44.620 No,

00:38:44.880 I don't think that's true.

00:38:46.700 I don't think there's a problem.

00:38:48.120 I don't think society has a problem with a transgender.

00:38:53.080 You're talking,

00:38:54.340 or is it transgender or trans?

00:38:55.760 What's the difference between transgender and transsexual?

00:38:58.260 Which one has had the plumbing fixed?

00:39:00.520 I don't think anybody has a problem.

00:39:02.440 If you're having the plumbing fixed.

00:39:04.300 If you're transsexual,

00:39:05.240 then you've actually had the surgery,

00:39:07.660 right?

00:39:08.820 Right.

00:39:09.160 And it's transgender.

00:39:10.200 I'm just taking the hormones and everything else.

00:39:12.440 I mean,

00:39:12.640 if you're committed to it,

00:39:13.740 I think that's what I'm saying.

00:39:14.760 Those who are committed to it,

00:39:17.920 I don't think people actually have a problem,

00:39:21.200 you know,

00:39:21.720 that you've committed to that gender.

00:39:26.680 I think what America has a problem with is not transgendered people,

00:39:30.640 but perverts,

00:39:32.040 people who are using that to be able to get in.

00:39:35.640 And more often than not,

00:39:36.720 probably heterosexual perverts.

00:39:38.400 Yeah.

00:39:39.000 Just probably using the transgender thing.

00:39:41.360 99% of the time using the law.

00:39:44.520 And that's what we've said from the beginning was going to be the biggest problem on this.

00:39:47.940 Correct.

00:39:48.220 Now you've given the out to the heterosexual pervert,

00:39:51.480 which they don't even seem to acknowledge that that's our problem.

00:39:54.620 They don't even care that that's the issue.

00:39:56.660 Well,

00:39:56.800 because they say that that never happens and they're dismissing your science.

00:40:01.680 You're a news denier.

00:40:03.040 I mean,

00:40:03.260 that's happened.

00:40:03.620 It has happened now.

00:40:04.560 It's happened.

00:40:04.920 It has happened.

00:40:05.760 It's happened twice to people on our own staff.

00:40:08.500 Yeah.

00:40:09.060 Twice.

00:40:10.380 I mean,

00:40:10.900 you know,

00:40:11.280 if it's happening in your own circle of friends,

00:40:13.740 you're giving them a legal out.

00:40:16.880 If,

00:40:17.020 if some perv wants to go into the bathroom and ogle women or girls,

00:40:21.460 now they can say,

00:40:22.860 well,

00:40:23.040 I was identifying as a woman.

00:40:24.840 Right.

00:40:25.360 Even though I'm wearing man's clothing.

00:40:28.280 The legal defense.

00:40:29.180 Right.

00:40:29.420 I mean,

00:40:29.700 you know,

00:40:30.260 because obviously it is very rare.

00:40:33.040 Right.

00:40:33.480 I mean,

00:40:33.700 like you're saying,

00:40:34.880 you know,

00:40:35.660 like it's,

00:40:36.020 it's happened a couple of times and it has.

00:40:38.160 It's not,

00:40:38.740 but it's not a,

00:40:39.100 the vast majority of people who go into bathrooms don't deal with this.

00:40:42.760 The vast majority of transgendered people who go to,

00:40:45.080 you know,

00:40:45.740 the opposite bathroom of the vast majority of people aren't perverts.

00:40:50.200 Right.

00:40:50.420 Exactly.

00:40:50.880 Like,

00:40:51.140 so this comes down to when someone who has a current,

00:40:55.440 current company accepted.

00:40:56.880 Yes.

00:40:57.160 When you have a Jeffy who does,

00:40:58.720 who uses this as an excuse,

00:41:00.740 do they have a legal basis that you,

00:41:02.780 by the way,

00:41:03.060 can even question.

00:41:04.260 I mean,

00:41:04.480 if someone comes in here and say,

00:41:05.780 someone goes to court and says,

00:41:06.860 I am transgendered.

00:41:07.600 I was in the opposite bathroom.

00:41:09.200 Can you even try to say,

00:41:10.860 no,

00:41:11.100 you're not?

00:41:12.300 No.

00:41:12.760 You,

00:41:12.940 I don't think you can even do that.

00:41:14.600 Was it Dave Chappelle?

00:41:15.800 Do you have that Dave Chappelle cut?

00:41:17.980 Is that Dave Chappelle,

00:41:19.260 um,

00:41:19.800 where he talks about how,

00:41:21.760 how's the African-American losing here?

00:41:24.300 They are.

00:41:25.100 Yeah.

00:41:25.420 He's like,

00:41:25.860 we're,

00:41:26.120 we've lost our place.

00:41:27.160 I mean,

00:41:27.400 we've struggled forever and ever and ever.

00:41:29.180 And now where are we?

00:41:31.480 And he's not the only comedian.

00:41:33.300 Who's the other comedian?

00:41:34.520 Yeah.

00:41:34.800 I mean,

00:41:35.020 we,

00:41:35.200 we,

00:41:35.420 uh,

00:41:35.820 Patton Oswalt,

00:41:36.520 uh,

00:41:37.320 did something kind of on this where,

00:41:39.140 you know,

00:41:39.920 again,

00:41:40.140 these are not conservatives.

00:41:41.120 These are liberals who are like,

00:41:42.940 wait a minute guys.

00:41:43.880 Like,

00:41:44.360 so was,

00:41:45.140 uh,

00:41:45.420 what's his name?

00:41:46.320 Uh,

00:41:46.600 Louis CK.

00:41:47.740 Here's,

00:41:48.100 here's a Dave Chappelle on,

00:41:50.100 on this,

00:41:50.860 uh,

00:41:51.880 on the gay movement.

00:41:54.000 Yeah.

00:41:54.600 It's not,

00:41:55.060 it's not,

00:41:55.280 it's not right now.

00:41:55.840 I don't think it's sounding that loud.

00:41:57.280 I think it would be louder.

00:41:59.360 Well,

00:41:59.780 he's got a very quiet voice.

00:42:01.100 I don't know if you've ever,

00:42:01.940 ever seen him live,

00:42:03.500 but he's,

00:42:04.000 he's very,

00:42:04.700 very,

00:42:05.140 very quiet.

00:42:05.880 I get it though.

00:42:06.820 I understand why gay people are mad and I empathize.

00:42:09.660 You know what?

00:42:11.180 I'm just telling you,

00:42:12.180 this is a black dude.

00:42:12.980 I support your movement,

00:42:15.020 but if you want to take some advice from a Negro,

00:42:17.200 pace yourself.

00:42:19.260 These things take a while.

00:42:21.400 Just because they passed the law,

00:42:23.340 doesn't mean they're going to like you.

00:42:25.120 Brown versus the board of education was in 1955.

00:42:28.280 Somebody called me in traffic last Wednesday.

00:42:31.460 It's so long.

00:42:32.000 It takes,

00:42:32.380 it takes a minute.

00:42:35.880 He's really funny.

00:42:37.120 He is.

00:42:37.860 He's really funny.

00:42:39.160 He's really genius.

00:42:42.720 So we have a bunch of clips here of comedians.

00:42:45.040 I'm going to just take a quick break here with Mr.

00:42:47.440 Pat Gray to make sure that he has the most updated emails.

00:42:51.440 You're saying that maybe there's an F word or two.

00:42:54.860 I'm saying we need to be careful to make sure you're playing.

00:42:56.920 We'll take a quick break here and then we'll make sure that we,

00:43:00.400 we have rinsed out their mouths.

00:43:02.640 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:08.920 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:14.680 Welcome to the program.

00:43:16.700 So,

00:43:17.380 you know,

00:43:17.880 we're talking about political correctness and,

00:43:21.940 and who is,

00:43:24.500 who's at the top of the feed food chain?

00:43:26.360 Used to be white males.

00:43:27.560 That's long gone.

00:43:28.860 You're at the bottom of the,

00:43:29.420 the very bottom,

00:43:30.580 very bottom,

00:43:31.520 very bottom.

00:43:32.180 Long ago.

00:43:33.680 Then it was females,

00:43:35.260 but females are no longer at the top.

00:43:37.220 Then it was homosexuals.

00:43:38.520 Homosexuals are not at the top.

00:43:40.700 It might be transgender,

00:43:42.880 but I don't think so.

00:43:44.860 Who's at the top of the female?

00:43:46.580 It's not the African-American anymore,

00:43:48.320 as you just heard from Dave Chappelle.

00:43:50.140 Yeah.

00:43:50.360 Now listen,

00:43:51.420 we've,

00:43:51.800 we've got about four comedians that are right now out who are not conservative.

00:43:58.940 At all.

00:43:59.520 At all.

00:44:00.180 Exact opposite.

00:44:01.080 Play this,

00:44:01.580 play this cut.

00:44:02.380 This is Pat Nossmo.

00:44:02.960 Listen to this.

00:44:03.500 Pat Nossmo.

00:44:03.800 I could not be a more committed,

00:44:07.080 progressive,

00:44:08.380 feminist,

00:44:09.940 pro-gay,

00:44:10.960 pro-transgender person,

00:44:13.280 but I cannot keep up with the glossary of correct terms.

00:44:19.680 I'm trying.

00:44:21.300 I want to help,

00:44:22.440 but holy

00:44:22.900 it's like a secret club pass where they change it every week,

00:44:27.360 and then you're in trouble.

00:44:28.580 That's not the word we use.

00:44:30.400 It was last week.

00:44:33.280 I have hemorrhoids.

00:44:34.820 My ass is falling out.

00:44:37.120 I want to help.

00:44:39.360 I know I'm an old,

00:44:40.820 cis,

00:44:41.240 white,

00:44:41.700 but don't give me

00:44:43.840 because I didn't know the right term.

00:44:47.960 RuPaul.

00:44:49.220 RuPaul.

00:44:50.140 Got into

00:44:50.780 saying tranny.

00:44:52.660 Ru

00:44:53.060 Paul.

00:44:56.740 RuPaul,

00:44:57.300 who she laid down

00:45:00.020 on the barbed wire

00:45:01.640 of discrimination

00:45:03.240 throughout the 70s and 80s

00:45:04.520 so this new generation

00:45:05.520 could run across her back

00:45:06.900 and yell at her

00:45:07.800 for saying tranny.

00:45:11.180 It's so good.

00:45:12.320 That is a fact.

00:45:13.840 I mean,

00:45:14.180 that's amazing that,

00:45:15.160 you know,

00:45:16.100 progressive,

00:45:17.640 comedians are even noticing

00:45:20.300 how far this has come,

00:45:21.720 and I can agree with

00:45:22.920 the conservative audience

00:45:23.980 on the points behind it,

00:45:25.160 but that's kind of the issue here

00:45:27.100 is you're even taking

00:45:28.040 your own allies

00:45:28.920 and people who are rooting for you

00:45:31.280 and want you to get

00:45:32.000 everything that you want

00:45:32.840 and you're still torturing

00:45:34.340 them over these things.

00:45:35.200 Same comedian,

00:45:35.860 Patton Oswald.

00:45:36.700 Was it his nephew

00:45:37.540 that's gay

00:45:38.740 that came to him

00:45:39.700 and was talking about

00:45:40.420 how bad things were?

00:45:41.320 Maybe a friend's nephew.

00:45:41.820 Then he moved to L.A.,

00:45:42.820 came out of the closet,

00:45:44.800 told his parents.

00:45:45.720 Parents went,

00:45:46.320 duh.

00:45:47.320 Now he's happy.

00:45:49.260 He's married,

00:45:49.660 he's happy,

00:45:50.020 running a business,

00:45:50.580 but he has a nephew

00:45:52.040 who goes to his old high school

00:45:55.580 and so he's really protective

00:45:57.620 of this kid

00:45:58.260 because his nephew

00:45:59.040 is openly,

00:46:00.600 proudly,

00:46:01.240 defiantly gay.

00:46:02.520 Going to high school

00:46:03.540 and my friend is like,

00:46:05.620 if anyone gives him a

00:46:06.680 I will burn that

00:46:07.820 in town.

00:46:10.260 He's so protective

00:46:11.900 and I get it.

00:46:13.280 So he went back

00:46:14.640 for Thanksgiving

00:46:16.320 and he's talking

00:46:17.900 to his nephew

00:46:18.440 and he goes,

00:46:19.360 is everything okay

00:46:19.960 at that school?

00:46:20.680 You know,

00:46:20.840 I went there.

00:46:21.840 I didn't have the best time.

00:46:23.200 If you ever want to

00:46:23.960 like talk to me about it

00:46:25.680 or how are things?

00:46:26.740 Are they oppressive?

00:46:28.700 Are they mean?

00:46:29.780 And his nephew

00:46:31.120 started choking up

00:46:32.200 and said,

00:46:33.500 yeah,

00:46:34.760 you know,

00:46:35.080 it's pretty rough there,

00:46:37.660 you know.

00:46:39.020 They're still really oppressive

00:46:40.340 and it's pretty harsh

00:46:42.540 and my friend,

00:46:44.360 the way he put it to me

00:46:45.140 was my,

00:46:45.660 my inner Liam Neeson

00:46:48.160 woke up,

00:46:48.940 right?

00:46:49.880 He was just,

00:46:50.700 like he was thinking,

00:46:51.500 like give me a name.

00:46:52.960 Like he just wanted to

00:46:53.760 wipe out.

00:46:56.740 But he kept his cool

00:46:57.820 and he was like,

00:46:58.280 well,

00:46:58.400 just let's talk about it.

00:46:59.360 What's going on?

00:47:00.040 Like how,

00:47:00.580 what are they doing to you?

00:47:01.720 And his nephew said,

00:47:03.140 well,

00:47:03.820 you know,

00:47:04.120 for instance,

00:47:05.240 my gay,

00:47:07.180 lesbian,

00:47:07.680 transgender club

00:47:08.540 at school,

00:47:09.840 we wanted to have

00:47:11.720 our prom

00:47:12.360 the same night

00:47:13.740 as the straight kids prom

00:47:15.120 and they're going to

00:47:16.240 make us wait

00:47:16.840 two weeks

00:47:17.540 to have it.

00:47:19.160 So it's just really

00:47:19.760 oppressive,

00:47:20.500 you know?

00:47:24.100 And my friend

00:47:25.360 had to stop himself

00:47:27.060 from saying,

00:47:28.040 you need to shut

00:47:29.320 the f*** up

00:47:30.160 because

00:47:30.560 I don't think

00:47:32.320 you know

00:47:32.720 what oppressive means.

00:47:34.220 how true is that?

00:47:39.980 Oh, man.

00:47:40.920 Because, you know,

00:47:41.540 there was no

00:47:42.900 gay and lesbian club.

00:47:44.320 Right.

00:47:44.860 When the uncle went there,

00:47:45.240 there was no

00:47:45.980 gay and lesbian prom.

00:47:47.760 The fact that you had to

00:47:48.520 hold it on a different day,

00:47:49.580 that actually seems

00:47:50.140 more special.

00:47:51.060 Like you get your own day.

00:47:53.660 It's amazing

00:47:54.700 that to see that

00:47:55.600 happening

00:47:56.080 in, you know,

00:47:57.740 in that,

00:47:58.400 in the world of,

00:47:58.960 you know,

00:47:59.200 pop culture.

00:48:00.280 I mean,

00:48:00.460 comedians who are,

00:48:01.300 you know.

00:48:02.280 And comedians

00:48:03.280 lead the way.

00:48:04.820 And they're the ones

00:48:05.580 that will constantly

00:48:07.120 walk over lines

00:48:09.020 that the rest of society

00:48:10.060 has drawn.

00:48:11.340 You know,

00:48:11.860 and they've done this forever.

00:48:13.440 They did it with religion

00:48:14.460 back in the day.

00:48:15.580 And they didn't do this before.

00:48:17.460 They didn't.

00:48:18.320 They weren't

00:48:19.420 ever

00:48:20.880 making these kinds of points

00:48:23.260 in the last 20 years.

00:48:25.180 They were not making the

00:48:26.900 hey, hey,

00:48:28.000 get control.

00:48:30.060 They were not making

00:48:31.000 those points.

00:48:31.680 They were making the point

00:48:32.500 of we've got to move forward.

00:48:33.780 We've got to progress.

00:48:34.660 Look at these hicks

00:48:35.300 that are stopping.

00:48:36.940 And they still make

00:48:37.500 those points.

00:48:38.020 There's no doubt.

00:48:39.080 But I mean,

00:48:39.720 this is,

00:48:40.060 you're right.

00:48:40.360 It's the opposite.

00:48:41.360 It's like,

00:48:41.580 wait a minute.

00:48:42.240 You know,

00:48:42.660 like,

00:48:42.980 I mean,

00:48:43.540 we're trying to help you

00:48:44.960 and still you're

00:48:46.560 torturing us over these things.

00:48:47.760 I mean,

00:48:47.900 that RuPaul point is amazing.

00:48:49.340 It sure is.

00:48:49.960 I mean,

00:48:50.080 I don't remember that story,

00:48:51.100 but I mean,

00:48:51.480 if RuPaul is getting heat

00:48:53.020 for not being transgender

00:48:54.260 friendly enough,

00:48:55.240 you might be going too far here.

00:48:57.440 You might.

00:48:58.220 You might be over a line.

00:48:59.760 I mean,

00:49:00.900 well,

00:49:01.440 if you want to be

00:49:03.140 a hate monger like that,

00:49:04.260 Stu,

00:49:04.700 then you can hate

00:49:07.220 all you want.

00:49:08.240 The rest of us know.

00:49:09.780 The rest of us.

00:49:10.420 The rest of us know.

00:49:11.720 Yeah,

00:49:12.000 the rest of us know.

00:49:12.540 The enlightened ones.

00:49:13.460 The enlightened ones.

00:49:14.620 But the Chappelle thing is new.

00:49:16.060 The Patton Oswalt's

00:49:16.820 within the last 50 years.

00:49:17.420 I know there's a Louis C.K.

00:49:18.700 thing too.

00:49:19.260 There's also a Jim Norton.

00:49:20.040 Do we have a Jim Norton clip

00:49:20.920 as well?

00:49:21.660 His latest Netflix special

00:49:23.140 has,

00:49:24.360 I hope they edited this one.

00:49:26.660 Jim Norton can,

00:49:29.640 yeah,

00:49:30.240 he can get dirty.

00:49:31.020 If they didn't edit this,

00:49:33.140 I just want to say goodbye now.

00:49:34.420 Yeah,

00:49:34.580 no,

00:49:34.720 no.

00:49:35.620 So stations are aware.

00:49:37.540 Thank you for the time

00:49:39.260 spent listening to us

00:49:40.560 and all of your support

00:49:41.480 over the years.

00:49:42.500 We do have a delay built in.

00:49:44.360 So if anything happens,

00:49:45.500 you'll be fine.

00:49:46.080 Here we go.

00:49:46.400 But it's so funny.

00:49:47.040 The whole country is like

00:49:47.880 trans crazy.

00:49:49.320 And we're really obsessed with it.

00:49:50.580 And it's so funny

00:49:51.160 how when the new thing happens

00:49:52.520 or becomes in the lexicon,

00:49:55.460 you can't joke about it on TV.

00:49:57.680 Like I tried to do

00:49:58.260 a Caitlyn Jenner joke

00:49:59.260 on the network.

00:50:00.200 It's like,

00:50:00.340 oh,

00:50:00.560 no transitioning jokes.

00:50:01.960 I'm like,

00:50:02.220 well,

00:50:02.300 it's not even a mean joke.

00:50:03.360 And they're like,

00:50:03.660 yeah,

00:50:03.900 but we just don't like it.

00:50:04.900 They've been marginalized.

00:50:06.460 I'm like,

00:50:06.720 look,

00:50:07.180 just because you've been marginalized

00:50:08.360 doesn't mean that you're removed

00:50:09.900 from the humor spectrum

00:50:11.060 like everybody.

00:50:12.380 Like it wasn't even a mean joke.

00:50:13.760 Like,

00:50:13.880 first of all,

00:50:14.320 the network canceled

00:50:15.540 her reality show.

00:50:17.000 How s*** is your reality show

00:50:18.620 when you were on a Wheaties box,

00:50:20.740 you're now a woman.

00:50:21.580 You are a Kardashian.

00:50:22.680 You've killed somebody driving

00:50:23.840 and the network goes,

00:50:24.440 it's boring.

00:50:24.840 There's just nothing happening.

00:50:29.100 And I think Hollywood means well.

00:50:30.660 I think their hearts

00:50:31.440 are in the right place.

00:50:32.500 But it's a little bit phony.

00:50:34.000 Some of it is just

00:50:34.700 a little bit fake

00:50:35.300 because you know how

00:50:35.700 they can't talk about Caitlyn

00:50:36.920 without saying how beautiful she is.

00:50:38.640 Have you seen how beautiful

00:50:39.840 Caitlyn is?

00:50:41.940 No.

00:50:44.260 She looks like the gypsy

00:50:45.600 from Finner.

00:50:48.620 Oh my birthday.

00:50:53.140 She's awesome.

00:50:54.040 But I mean,

00:50:54.600 look,

00:50:56.200 I mean,

00:50:56.420 that's what three big comedians.

00:50:58.120 You also mentioned Louis C.K.

00:50:59.180 Maybe we've gotten that clip

00:50:59.960 for tomorrow or something.

00:51:00.700 But it's like,

00:51:01.560 it's a bizarre trend, right?

00:51:03.720 It's strange to hear

00:51:05.600 from these people.

00:51:06.120 It shows that perhaps

00:51:07.400 the PC pendulum

00:51:08.900 is swinging back

00:51:10.740 closer to the,

00:51:13.560 you know,

00:51:14.340 let's have common sense

00:51:15.640 and being able to laugh

00:51:16.860 at ourselves and each other

00:51:18.180 just a little bit here.

00:51:20.300 No execution for words.

00:51:22.640 Safe zones are ridiculous.

00:51:24.640 Back in a minute.

00:51:25.980 We are much.

00:51:29.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:32.500 Mercury.

00:51:36.300 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:39.040 Have you guys seen

00:51:39.800 the Dave Chappelle

00:51:41.140 comedy specials on Netflix?

00:51:43.300 No, not yet.

00:51:43.940 Oh my gosh,

00:51:44.360 they're funny.

00:51:45.360 You know,

00:51:45.880 I watched them

00:51:46.700 begrudgingly almost.

00:51:48.620 I mean,

00:51:49.100 I'm not a Dave Chappelle fan.

00:51:52.600 Back in the day,

00:51:53.560 saw some stuff,

00:51:54.240 thought he was funny.

00:51:55.320 Seen some clips

00:51:56.000 that I thought were funny.

00:51:58.020 I am a huge

00:51:59.600 Jim Gaffigan fan.

00:52:00.880 I think Jim Gaffigan

00:52:01.760 is just brilliant.

00:52:05.480 I watched the Dave Chappelle

00:52:07.060 special on Netflix

00:52:08.500 and there is something

00:52:10.380 about that guy

00:52:11.280 that he is a master

00:52:15.180 of comedy.

00:52:16.240 He is,

00:52:17.320 he walks with this way,

00:52:19.440 I mean,

00:52:19.720 just the,

00:52:20.240 I don't know even

00:52:20.920 what it is,

00:52:22.260 but he just,

00:52:25.180 you can,

00:52:25.820 I think he's the best

00:52:27.140 comedian alive today.

00:52:29.360 He may very well be.

00:52:30.520 I mean,

00:52:30.660 I saw him live

00:52:31.920 a couple years ago

00:52:32.820 after,

00:52:33.320 like it was when

00:52:33.800 he was first coming out

00:52:34.780 of his sort of

00:52:36.000 extended silence

00:52:37.080 after he left

00:52:37.960 and I went there again,

00:52:40.140 same thing,

00:52:40.580 begrudgingly.

00:52:41.520 We're not really

00:52:42.180 thinking much of him

00:52:43.420 or I wasn't a huge

00:52:44.420 Chappelle show fan.

00:52:45.520 I mean,

00:52:45.640 there's funny moments,

00:52:46.600 but he just owns the room.

00:52:49.480 He owns it.

00:52:50.540 I mean,

00:52:50.760 like,

00:52:50.960 you saw him two years ago?

00:52:51.840 Yeah,

00:52:52.080 probably about two years ago.

00:52:53.160 He just commands

00:52:54.120 your attention

00:52:55.160 in a weird sort of way.

00:52:56.720 Yeah,

00:52:56.740 it's a weird,

00:52:57.620 and I didn't know

00:52:58.400 if it was because

00:52:59.200 I hadn't seen him

00:53:00.760 for what,

00:53:01.460 10 years?

00:53:03.600 When did he disappear?

00:53:05.000 I think it was around 2006

00:53:06.040 when he quit,

00:53:06.520 when he quit

00:53:07.120 the Chappelle show.

00:53:08.340 And then went off

00:53:09.180 and went to like Africa

00:53:10.320 or someplace?

00:53:11.180 Yeah,

00:53:11.940 toured the world

00:53:12.600 for a while.

00:53:13.860 So,

00:53:14.460 maybe it's that mystique

00:53:17.420 that he didn't want

00:53:19.120 the money so much.

00:53:20.100 He didn't need

00:53:20.660 the fame so much.

00:53:21.520 He was like,

00:53:21.920 I know,

00:53:22.300 I don't want to be that guy

00:53:23.620 that he's speaking,

00:53:25.180 you just know

00:53:25.860 he's speaking

00:53:26.400 from a place of truth,

00:53:28.660 his truth at least,

00:53:30.860 and he's just,

00:53:33.480 I mean,

00:53:33.820 and he's saying things

00:53:34.640 that you just haven't heard.

00:53:36.100 I mean,

00:53:36.300 when you've got

00:53:36.720 a black guy on stage

00:53:38.720 defending the cops,

00:53:41.640 that's risky in comedy.

00:53:44.200 That's risky.

00:53:44.940 That's the difference.

00:53:45.620 Like,

00:53:46.000 so many comedians

00:53:47.200 will spend so much

00:53:47.960 of their time

00:53:48.380 figuring out

00:53:48.860 some new way

00:53:49.420 to attack religion,

00:53:50.460 for example.

00:53:51.300 And it's like,

00:53:52.100 You're going to beat

00:53:52.520 George Carlin?

00:53:53.200 You're never going to beat

00:53:54.080 George Carlin at that game.

00:53:55.460 He's,

00:53:55.760 you know,

00:53:56.200 that was something

00:53:57.220 that was edgy

00:53:58.180 at one time,

00:53:59.740 right?

00:53:59.960 Like,

00:54:00.200 there was a time

00:54:00.900 in our history

00:54:01.480 in which it was hard

00:54:02.860 to push back

00:54:03.780 against religion.

00:54:04.420 That time is long past.

00:54:06.500 Say things like you just heard,

00:54:07.880 that's really difficult.

00:54:09.060 It's what comedy should do.

00:54:10.040 If you don't have

00:54:11.140 the audience,

00:54:11.860 if you don't,

00:54:12.560 if a comedian doesn't say,

00:54:13.840 Oh,

00:54:14.060 come on,

00:54:15.220 at least once,

00:54:16.020 come on,

00:54:16.480 you know that's true.

00:54:17.620 Right.

00:54:18.100 It should offend you.

00:54:18.820 It should push your mouth.

00:54:19.640 It should push,

00:54:20.480 that's what good comedy does.

00:54:22.400 I mean,

00:54:22.460 Louis C.K.

00:54:22.920 does that all the time.

00:54:24.500 Constantly has those moments

00:54:25.540 where the crowd groans

00:54:27.220 and isn't sure

00:54:28.300 whether they're allowed

00:54:29.080 to laugh,

00:54:30.320 even though they know

00:54:31.120 it's funny,

00:54:32.400 they don't feel comfortable

00:54:34.240 actually laughing.

00:54:35.300 That should happen

00:54:35.980 every time you go

00:54:36.680 to a comedy show.

00:54:37.300 What Chappelle was

00:54:38.180 willing to say

00:54:39.500 in 2004

00:54:40.720 when he was doing

00:54:41.280 a stand-up performance

00:54:42.200 in Sacramento,

00:54:43.060 California,

00:54:43.460 and people kept

00:54:44.540 shouting his catchphrase,

00:54:46.560 his Rick James catchphrase

00:54:47.980 from the show.

00:54:48.700 Which was what?

00:54:50.500 I'm Rick James,

00:54:51.540 bitch.

00:54:52.120 Oh,

00:54:52.300 okay.

00:54:52.980 And so,

00:54:53.960 he got frustrated

00:54:55.660 and he left the stage.

00:54:57.720 And then a few minutes later,

00:54:58.800 he came back

00:54:59.720 and he said to the audience,

00:55:01.360 you know why my show is good?

00:55:03.060 Because the network officials say

00:55:04.720 you're not smart enough

00:55:05.740 to get what I'm doing.

00:55:07.100 And every day,

00:55:07.820 I fight for you.

00:55:08.720 I tell them how smart you are.

00:55:11.080 Turns out,

00:55:12.260 I was wrong.

00:55:13.260 You people are stupid.

00:55:15.500 Wow.

00:55:16.440 I mean,

00:55:16.880 that's brilliant.

00:55:18.700 That's brave

00:55:20.340 and it's brilliant.

00:55:22.060 Really funny.

00:55:22.900 Name the comedian.

00:55:23.660 Name the George Carlin of today.

00:55:27.160 I think it,

00:55:27.620 I think it could be Chappelle.

00:55:30.940 Yeah.

00:55:32.040 Yeah,

00:55:32.460 probably.

00:55:32.920 He's really well thought out.

00:55:34.560 Because Carlin did the same thing.

00:55:35.560 Like,

00:55:35.680 obviously Carlin was not conservative.

00:55:38.340 But I mean,

00:55:38.720 you'd listen to him at times

00:55:39.900 and you'd say like,

00:55:40.580 wow,

00:55:40.800 that really,

00:55:41.340 like,

00:55:41.560 even though,

00:55:42.760 you know,

00:55:43.400 if you're a liberal,

00:55:44.220 you could like it.

00:55:44.680 If you're a conservative,

00:55:45.300 you could like it.

00:55:46.080 You could be a real religious person

00:55:49.660 and listen to him on God

00:55:51.400 and laugh all the way through.

00:55:52.640 Louis C.K.

00:55:53.260 is definitely in that conversation as well.

00:55:55.480 I mean,

00:55:56.060 you know.

00:55:56.260 Have you guys seen Mike Birbiglia?

00:55:58.000 Oh yeah.

00:55:58.440 He's great.

00:55:59.180 I mean,

00:55:59.480 totally different style.

00:56:00.480 Totally different style.

00:56:01.380 Yeah.

00:56:01.680 I think he's one of the most brilliant storytellers.

00:56:05.180 I mean,

00:56:05.540 his,

00:56:06.140 have you seen him,

00:56:07.100 Pat?

00:56:07.500 No,

00:56:07.800 I don't know who that is.

00:56:08.620 Oh,

00:56:08.960 look up,

00:56:09.480 there's a Netflix special,

00:56:10.860 there's several of them

00:56:11.720 on Mike Birbiglia.

00:56:12.960 One is,

00:56:13.760 thank God for jokes,

00:56:14.740 I think is his latest one.

00:56:16.420 And he tells stories.

00:56:19.200 And so he starts out,

00:56:20.760 and it's just like a running monologue

00:56:22.520 with the audience.

00:56:24.620 And he just starts to tell stories

00:56:26.420 about his life or whatever,

00:56:27.740 and it all ties in

00:56:29.520 and wraps up at the end.

00:56:32.120 It's really well crafted.

00:56:34.080 Really well crafted.

00:56:35.240 Yeah,

00:56:35.260 he's great.

00:56:35.780 I mean,

00:56:35.960 Gaffigan's great too,

00:56:36.780 and again,

00:56:37.020 a different style.

00:56:38.880 You know.

00:56:39.220 Gaffigan is the quintessential

00:56:42.260 comedian for these times.

00:56:48.340 He doesn't offend anyone.

00:56:51.340 He just doesn't offend anyone.

00:56:53.780 And that's like,

00:56:54.260 I feel like that's a,

00:56:55.920 while I think largely true,

00:56:57.720 except for maybe the makers

00:56:58.580 of Hot Pockets,

00:56:59.580 who are frequently offended

00:57:01.500 by his comedy routine.

00:57:02.920 I think it almost,

00:57:04.220 you know, fat, pasty white people.

00:57:05.680 When you say something like that,

00:57:06.860 it almost feels like,

00:57:07.800 here's a guy who's just,

00:57:09.200 he's just saying some honest things,

00:57:11.180 and he's getting along.

00:57:12.000 That's not it at all.

00:57:13.560 He's an incredibly talented comedian.

00:57:15.600 He just talks about things

00:57:17.140 that everyone can relate to.

00:57:19.040 It's a lot harder to be funny

00:57:20.520 without the F word.

00:57:21.940 Oh, yeah.

00:57:22.620 And without being,

00:57:24.480 without throwing hard,

00:57:26.820 you know,

00:57:27.400 throwing people under the bus

00:57:29.020 can be really, really funny.

00:57:30.500 He never,

00:57:31.080 he throws himself,

00:57:32.560 you know,

00:57:33.700 on the tracks every time.

00:57:35.180 And so there's no malice

00:57:37.120 to what he does.

00:57:37.820 Jeff Foxworthy's done that forever, right?

00:57:40.140 I mean, Ron White,

00:57:41.120 Jeff Foxworthy,

00:57:42.000 Larry the Cable Guy.

00:57:42.940 That's what those guys do.

00:57:44.040 Yeah.

00:57:44.500 That's the Jeffy School of Comedy

00:57:45.580 right there.

00:57:46.000 I love those guys.

00:57:46.860 And we like it.

00:57:47.560 We've had a bond.

00:57:48.400 I love those guys.

00:57:49.080 But like,

00:57:49.380 it's a little,

00:57:49.780 it's totally different styles.

00:57:50.780 Well, that's what's great

00:57:51.360 about it though, right?

00:57:52.140 I mean, you know,

00:57:52.700 you watch the Jim Gaffigan show

00:57:54.220 that he had for a couple of seasons.

00:57:56.060 Tried to watch that with the kids.

00:57:57.660 Boy, don't do that.

00:57:58.480 It's not.

00:57:58.960 And it's a little edgier.

00:58:00.020 Yeah.

00:58:00.200 A lot edgier.

00:58:01.140 It was really funny.

00:58:02.400 Really funny.

00:58:02.860 And he quit that show legitimately.

00:58:05.240 And this excuse is never real.

00:58:07.720 But with Jim Gaffigan,

00:58:08.600 it was to actually be with his family

00:58:10.300 because he was spending

00:58:10.920 too much time on it.

00:58:11.960 The show,

00:58:12.320 they wanted the show back desperately.

00:58:13.860 It was really funny.

00:58:15.080 Is he back as the colonel now?

00:58:16.700 In that five buck for five meals?

00:58:19.660 I thought he was great as that.

00:58:20.700 I think he's back doing that.

00:58:22.540 I wanted to be the colonel.

00:58:22.900 They wouldn't let me be the colonel.

00:58:24.220 I want to be the colonel.

00:58:25.160 You'd make a great colonel.

00:58:26.240 You already have the hair for it.

00:58:27.420 I already have the hair for it.

00:58:28.440 I look like I've been around

00:58:29.740 buckets of chicken.

00:58:31.200 Yeah.

00:58:32.040 You'd be a great colonel.

00:58:33.520 I'd be a great colonel.

00:58:35.080 Have you thrown your name

00:58:35.880 into the mix?

00:58:36.100 I have not.

00:58:36.960 Come on.

00:58:37.500 And you look like you've been

00:58:38.100 preparing for the role

00:58:38.980 for quite some time.

00:58:39.740 I have been.

00:58:40.100 I have been.

00:58:40.500 I'm throwing Glenn Beck

00:58:41.740 into the mix right now.

00:58:42.920 I'm the colonel right now.

00:58:44.460 Try my chicken.

00:58:45.220 And you don't have to sound

00:58:46.400 a thing like him either.

00:58:48.020 No.

00:58:48.600 I don't think he actually...

00:58:49.940 We should cut our own

00:58:50.940 Kentucky Fried Chicken

00:58:51.860 with me as the colonel

00:58:53.220 and just put it out there.

00:58:54.660 Just give it to me.

00:58:55.060 Right.

00:58:55.480 Just show them what they're missing.

00:58:56.560 Show them what they're missing.

00:58:57.340 And then maybe they'll jump on board.

00:58:58.960 You could have some of that.

00:58:59.940 You could have some of that, KFC.

00:59:03.000 I mean, it seems like a good idea.

00:59:05.340 It does.

00:59:06.000 Doesn't it?

00:59:06.400 Yeah, it does.

00:59:07.400 It does.

00:59:08.360 Yeah.

00:59:08.900 You as the colonel.

00:59:12.600 I could see it.

00:59:13.700 I could too.

00:59:14.340 I could too.

00:59:14.380 I'm just saying.

00:59:15.780 That's a weird ad campaign.

00:59:17.040 Very unique because they keep changing.

00:59:19.220 Like every few months,

00:59:20.380 they change who impersonates him.

00:59:22.680 And it's really not an impersonation either.

00:59:24.460 It's just dressing up in the outfit.

00:59:26.640 Yeah.

00:59:27.640 They're not even trying to sound like him.

00:59:30.700 It's kind of weird.

00:59:32.440 So it's a weird presentation.

00:59:33.800 It's kind of a parody of the character.

00:59:35.300 I guess.

00:59:35.880 Yeah.

00:59:36.220 It's strange though that his family's okay with that.

00:59:39.020 I don't know.

00:59:39.560 The colonel's family?

00:59:40.440 Mm-hmm.

00:59:41.420 I don't think the colonel's family

00:59:42.760 has been involved with KFC in forever.

00:59:44.600 Yeah, probably not.

00:59:46.080 Maybe not.

00:59:46.440 I mean, you know how that guy started?

00:59:48.280 Do you guys know the story of KFC?

00:59:49.500 Out of his trunk, right?

00:59:50.780 Yeah, the back of the trunk of his car.

00:59:54.160 I lived in Louisville where I passed the place on the highway all the time.

00:59:59.820 Where he just, you know, on weekends,

01:00:01.820 he'd just have his big, I don't know, Cadillac or something.

01:00:06.200 And then he just opened up the pack and he had buckets of chicken.

01:00:08.360 And Dave Thomas was one of the first guys that I think agreed to use his recipe.

01:00:14.300 That's why he and Dave Thomas of Wendy's were pretty close.

01:00:17.900 Dave was the one that talked him into being the colonel.

01:00:21.680 Yeah.

01:00:22.100 And promote his own product.

01:00:23.140 Yeah, Thomas helped him out.

01:00:24.120 Maybe Thomas worked for him.

01:00:25.760 There was an interesting tie there somewhere.

01:00:27.800 I'd have to bone up on it again.

01:00:29.320 But you know where the first Kentucky Fried Chicken was?

01:00:34.020 Alaska.

01:00:34.800 No.

01:00:35.060 Wasilla, Alaska.

01:00:36.320 I'll be disappointed if it's any place in the United States.

01:00:39.780 It actually is in the United States.

01:00:41.420 I'm disappointed.

01:00:42.160 You're disappointed.

01:00:43.340 Where?

01:00:43.580 It's in Salt Lake City, Utah.

01:00:44.660 Really?

01:00:45.120 Yeah.

01:00:45.760 Get out of town.

01:00:46.920 Yeah.

01:00:47.240 Yeah.

01:00:47.660 Why?

01:00:48.340 Isn't that fascinating?

01:00:49.160 No.

01:00:49.860 Okay.

01:00:51.540 Why?

01:00:52.060 Why was it there?

01:00:53.220 You would think it would be in Kentucky.

01:00:55.060 Yeah, it's Kentucky Fried Chicken, right?

01:00:57.000 That was the first thing that popped in my mind.

01:00:58.940 Yeah, it would be somewhere in Kentucky since it's named Kentucky Fried Chicken.

01:01:03.020 And it would have been boring if that would have been the answer.

01:01:05.900 Right.

01:01:06.540 Right.

01:01:06.860 Not quite as boring as Salt Lake City, but still.

01:01:10.680 Right?

01:01:10.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:01:29.540 You know, we were just talking about, when did 24 end?

01:01:33.800 Last night.

01:01:34.420 Last night.

01:01:34.960 Last night was the final episode.

01:01:36.340 12.

01:01:36.580 12 episodes, so they should have called it 12.

01:01:38.720 Yeah, they should have called it 12.

01:01:39.700 With about 10 minutes left in the hour, they go to commercial breaking and come back, and

01:01:46.340 they start with the clock like they always do.

01:01:49.040 And then it says, 12 hours later, and the clock speeds up really fast.

01:01:52.380 It goes to 12 hours later, and then they just finished up the show.

01:01:56.000 That sucks.

01:01:56.720 Really weird.

01:01:58.120 Cheap.

01:01:58.660 So, was it good?

01:02:04.280 Yeah, I mean, it was pretty good.

01:02:05.400 It was as good as you could probably expect without Kiefer Sutherland on it.

01:02:11.200 You know, without Jack Bauer, do you have 24?

01:02:13.560 I didn't think so, but I watched it every week.

01:02:17.400 And it was good?

01:02:18.460 It was pretty good, yeah.

01:02:19.980 The ratings weren't that great.

01:02:21.660 Super Bowl Sunday was when it debuted, right?

01:02:23.900 Yeah, for the Super Bowl.

01:02:24.760 How do you watch television with commercials?

01:02:27.060 Well, I don't.

01:02:27.660 I tape it.

01:02:28.600 I record it, and then watch it later.

01:02:30.820 But the first episode had 17,500,000.

01:02:35.400 The second episode, 6,225,000.

01:02:37.760 It ended up with 3.1.

01:02:40.020 But the first one was post-Super Bowl, right?

01:02:42.280 Yeah, they're going from 6 to 3.

01:02:44.300 But still, it hemorrhaged viewers the whole time.

01:02:47.520 And I don't know.

01:02:48.380 Maybe people just didn't accept it without Jack Bauer.

01:02:51.900 I don't know.

01:02:52.220 This is not something, I mean, man, I don't know the last time.

01:02:55.260 You're apparently not interested.

01:02:56.920 The only, I'm not interested at all.

01:02:58.660 The only thing on television that we watch is HDTV.

01:03:03.780 That's it.

01:03:04.160 It does not, the television does not switch from that unless it's news.

01:03:09.840 Really?

01:03:10.620 Yeah.

01:03:11.100 I don't know what we watched on actual commercials.

01:03:13.700 Maybe History Channel.

01:03:14.560 We also watch History Channel.

01:03:16.060 I mean, if you want to watch something, just DVR it and watch it when you have to.

01:03:19.900 You know, on your time.

01:03:20.720 Yeah, but I mean, HDTV, I'll come home, and the TV will be on, and it'll be HDTV, and everybody

01:03:28.440 will be, you know, they'll be in the kitchen or something, and then they'll say, okay, you ready

01:03:32.560 to see your new house, and then they'll come around the corner of the refrigerator, and

01:03:35.880 they'll be like, ah, and then, yeah.

01:03:37.680 So you don't have any.

01:03:38.380 Oh, that color stinks in that house, huh?

01:03:41.080 Oh, you should have seen it before.

01:03:42.940 It looks really, it's a lot different.

01:03:45.000 Really.

01:03:45.680 So you don't watch any current shows that are, like, currently coming out with, like, new

01:03:49.920 episodes.

01:03:51.140 24 was the only one I've watched in years.

01:03:54.040 No, I don't watch anything.

01:03:55.500 You watch a lot on Netflix, right?

01:03:56.980 I watch Netflix.

01:03:57.780 Like, House of Cards, when that comes out, I will watch that as fast as I can.

01:04:01.240 But I'm not watching it on TV.

01:04:02.720 Right, I mean, we've watched a lot of things that are broadcast on television, but it's

01:04:07.300 DVR.

01:04:07.840 Do you guys see The Wizard of Oz, the new Wizard of Oz on NBC?

01:04:10.520 Definitely not.

01:04:11.360 No.

01:04:12.060 It was actually really good.

01:04:13.420 It had Vincent D'Onofrio in it.

01:04:15.300 Was it a different story?

01:04:16.700 It was.

01:04:17.260 It was.

01:04:17.960 No, it is.

01:04:18.700 It's a completely different story.

01:04:19.900 Yeah, nothing based on The Wizard of Oz is interesting to me at all.

01:04:23.680 The Wiz?

01:04:26.200 Wasn't The Wiz something?

01:04:27.100 Yes, it was.

01:04:28.180 With Michael Jackson.

01:04:29.200 Yes, it was.

01:04:29.540 It was genius.

01:04:30.540 It was genius.

01:04:31.540 I thought it was actually pretty good.

01:04:33.480 I mean, for television.

01:04:34.000 It was.

01:04:34.500 The Wiz was great.

01:04:35.400 The Wiz was awful.

01:04:36.560 Famously awful, right?

01:04:37.660 Oh, the Wiz was great.

01:04:40.220 The Wiz?

01:04:41.440 It's always something in Philadelphia did something based on The Wiz in this past season, which,

01:04:46.260 again, is one of the few shows I do watch on television.

01:04:49.000 And it was, first of all, tremendous.

01:04:50.900 But second of all, I didn't know any of the references.

01:04:52.980 I'm like, what?

01:04:53.660 The Wiz?

01:04:54.720 Am I supposed to be so in tune with The Wiz that I'm going to get all these jokes?

01:04:58.600 I did not happen.

01:05:00.600 Wasn't Diana Ross and Michael Jackson?

01:05:02.840 Yes, it was.

01:05:02.920 Yes.

01:05:03.500 So weird.

01:05:04.320 I don't know which one played Dorothy.

01:05:07.220 I don't either.

01:05:08.280 That's a fair question.

01:05:09.300 I don't know.

01:05:09.840 I don't know.

01:05:10.600 All right.

01:05:11.140 All right.

01:05:11.600 How did you not get a Michael Jackson on the path there?

01:05:13.360 I don't even understand.

01:05:14.480 Thank you.

01:05:15.420 Back in a minute.

01:05:16.860 I think you would say that.

01:05:46.840 Hello, America.

01:05:50.400 Pomona College students say there's no such thing as truth.

01:05:54.540 No.

01:05:55.620 Truth is a tool of white supremacy.

01:05:57.580 Alexander Dugan and Steve Bannon's ideological ties to Vladimir Putin's Russia.

01:06:07.600 Vanity Fair says Steve Bannon isn't through with Trump just yet.

01:06:12.080 And Trump has said there's a big shakeup coming in the White House staff.

01:06:16.580 We begin there with so much more right now.

01:06:19.500 I love this.

01:06:48.340 This is from Business Insider.

01:06:50.680 Ten ways North Koreans use technology differently than other countries.

01:06:55.900 Here's the first one.

01:06:57.760 Almost no one uses the internet.

01:07:00.620 I mean, that's not using it differently.

01:07:02.880 That's not using it.

01:07:06.300 North Korea banned Facebook but has built a clone.

01:07:09.380 Well, Facebook is, well, Facebook is banned.

01:07:17.100 The regime seems to like the concept.

01:07:19.660 Country built a clone which was discovered by DIN networks.

01:07:23.440 The clone was fully functional, allowing users to sign up via email and post messages on each other's wall.

01:07:30.780 It isn't clear whether the clone went on to attract more users in North Korea after the hack or not.

01:07:36.340 I mean, what are you going to say in a communist country?

01:07:39.260 What are you going to say with a clone of Facebook?

01:07:43.300 You feeling comfortable with that?

01:07:45.280 Yeah.

01:07:45.740 Yeah, I'm not too, you know, I just don't like these new policies.

01:07:48.780 I've got to say, who's with me?

01:07:51.420 One in ten North Koreans has a smartphone.

01:07:54.480 Again, that's not a way they use technology differently.

01:07:58.580 They're not using technology.

01:08:00.900 I mean, if you said they use, you know, their smartphones for a spade in their garden, then that's using it differently than us.

01:08:10.520 They don't have it.

01:08:12.020 One way they use breathing differently, they're not breathing.

01:08:14.920 They don't use their lungs.

01:08:18.820 They can't make any international calls.

01:08:24.020 Yeah, that's not them using it differently.

01:08:26.020 That's not using technology.

01:08:27.940 It's not doing it differently.

01:08:28.920 North Koreans do use PCs.

01:08:32.280 Do they use them for like a doorstop?

01:08:34.280 That would be using it differently.

01:08:36.240 Listen to this.

01:08:37.340 North Koreans do use PCs, but mostly only the elites.

01:08:43.220 So again, they're not using it differently.

01:08:47.060 PC access is so restricted that USB sticks are a fashion accessory.

01:08:51.500 Now, there you go.

01:08:53.180 That's using it differently.

01:08:54.680 Okay, so what's a fashion accessory?

01:08:56.300 The USB sticks.

01:08:58.460 Oh, wow.

01:09:00.220 You know, I don't know if they're earrings.

01:09:01.760 Like a necklace?

01:09:02.860 Earrings or...

01:09:03.820 I don't know what it is.

01:09:05.240 Nice.

01:09:06.080 I bet you those look good.

01:09:08.200 I bet you those look good.

01:09:08.820 A USB?

01:09:09.540 Oh, come on now.

01:09:11.260 Stick around your neck.

01:09:12.180 Oh, man.

01:09:13.020 A 4MB stick hanging from your ear?

01:09:15.260 Cheap Chinese tablets are only for the elite.

01:09:20.540 Some people own TVs, but they can't watch much.

01:09:23.200 TV ownership is unusual in North Korea.

01:09:25.660 Boy, can you imagine?

01:09:26.540 What is this country?

01:09:28.160 So bad.

01:09:28.700 If that wall ever comes down, you're just never going to be able to, I mean, how are you ever

01:09:34.940 going to be able to talk to them?

01:09:39.100 They're in a different world.

01:09:41.060 They have no idea what's happening around the country, around the world.

01:09:47.420 They have no idea.

01:09:51.020 Sets are pre-tuned to North Korean stations.

01:09:53.420 Police visit households that have televisions to check whether the TV settings have been tampered

01:09:59.100 with.

01:10:01.420 What?

01:10:02.340 Nice.

01:10:02.860 So you can only watch certain channels?

01:10:05.260 Yeah, remember that Gestapo radio that we have in the museum?

01:10:08.240 Right.

01:10:09.000 They did the same thing.

01:10:10.000 Oh, right.

01:10:10.300 They blocked the BBC, and so this blocks all the Chinese channels, the South Korean channels,

01:10:15.320 so you can't watch anything else.

01:10:16.500 Don't be messing with it.

01:10:18.580 Can you imagine living in a place where they could just knock on your door and say, we need

01:10:21.180 to check your TV?

01:10:22.960 No.

01:10:23.100 I mean, that's using technology differently.

01:10:25.640 It is.

01:10:27.980 People have a choice just between two mobile phone carriers.

01:10:32.860 I mean, this is a bad thing.

01:10:34.700 There are still people saying that the deregulation of the phone industry was bad.

01:10:38.800 We just had, you know, the mall bell system.

01:10:41.380 Yeah.

01:10:41.720 Yeah, we'd be North Korea.

01:10:46.800 You know what I think it is?

01:10:48.100 They're still doing those military parades, too.

01:10:49.760 Yeah, I know.

01:10:50.240 I think anybody who has the military parades, if you have, this is a sign that you just need

01:10:55.560 to be annihilated as a government.

01:10:59.120 If you have military parades, big pictures of your leaders on the sides of buildings,

01:11:08.020 if your troops march in goose step, I mean, that's like, I mean, that's the sign that you're

01:11:15.120 right.

01:11:16.840 The higher you goose step, the more evil you are.

01:11:18.960 The more evil you are.

01:11:20.160 I saw them on the parade over the weekend, and they're all goose stepping, and I'm like,

01:11:23.860 clearly evil.

01:11:24.960 These people all should be wiped out.

01:11:26.480 And then for the first time ever that I've ever seen, Kim Jong-un was wearing an actual

01:11:32.820 suit, like we would wear in the West.

01:11:36.300 No.

01:11:36.860 It was like a jacket.

01:11:39.260 It was pretty close.

01:11:40.300 It was like a Pavarotti jacket for thinner people.

01:11:43.900 Yes, and that's not a good look for him.

01:11:45.440 No, it's not.

01:11:46.020 Did you notice his pants are like...

01:11:48.660 They're giant navy bell bottoms or something.

01:11:50.660 They're not bell bottoms.

01:11:51.420 If you look at them, they're like the size of the waist at the top of the thigh all the

01:11:57.920 way down.

01:11:58.220 All the way down, yeah.

01:11:59.080 It's bizarre.

01:12:00.680 And it looks like it's...

01:12:02.080 Everything on him looks like you need a tailor.

01:12:05.660 Yeah.

01:12:06.180 You don't have a tailor?

01:12:07.320 He's got such a weird body shape that I think it's tough to fit him with clothing.

01:12:12.940 But he's the ruler.

01:12:15.920 Yeah.

01:12:16.240 Who was it I heard the other day that said he's...

01:12:19.420 I think it was one of you guys say that he's kind of in between of, you know, being fat

01:12:25.640 and giving up.

01:12:27.100 Well, given his life circumstances, right?

01:12:31.240 You know, because like Jeffy, for example, might be a little overweight.

01:12:36.120 However, he is limited by his circumstances.

01:12:39.100 Well, and I'm athletically overweight, unlike Kim Jong-un.

01:12:41.980 No, but he's limited by his circumstances in that we don't pay him a salary.

01:12:47.880 He doesn't have any income.

01:12:49.420 You know, he's basically homeless.

01:12:50.660 There's not much you can do.

01:12:51.520 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:12:52.900 This is the opposite.

01:12:53.960 That's what makes you work out.

01:12:56.020 If you're Kim Jong-un and everybody has to say, oh, dear leader, you are smoking hot.

01:13:02.660 You are sexy.

01:13:03.880 You are sexy.

01:13:05.020 Then why work out?

01:13:06.060 Right.

01:13:06.240 There's nothing in Kim Jong-un's life that would lead him to be in shape.

01:13:11.980 Right?

01:13:12.360 So you're saying he should be fatter.

01:13:14.180 I think he should be fatter.

01:13:15.380 Because why would you stop at, what is he, Jeffy, 350?

01:13:19.360 You know, with something?

01:13:20.280 No, he's not.

01:13:20.760 No.

01:13:21.460 Well, he's only like two feet tall.

01:13:23.440 He's five feet tall, so he's probably like 270.

01:13:26.440 Five eights, maybe 280.

01:13:28.000 Yeah, 280.

01:13:28.980 No, I don't think he's that heavy.

01:13:30.420 At one point when he had knee surgery and stuff, he probably pushed three.

01:13:34.160 And there's not a lot of cool things you can wear when you're built like that, right?

01:13:37.820 So that's why he does the Nehru jacket.

01:13:39.360 What is the deal with the Nehru jacket?

01:13:41.200 Seriously.

01:13:41.820 He looks like he's the fifth member of Herman's Hermits in the 1960s.

01:13:45.680 What is the deal with the, seriously, with the, you know, all the Chinese leaders wear

01:13:51.360 that and it was never a good look.

01:13:53.540 Would you get your haircut like that?

01:13:54.400 It was never a good look.

01:13:55.280 Wear that jacket?

01:13:55.700 That's a good look.

01:13:56.740 Your comrade jacket.

01:13:57.500 Hillary Clinton thinks it's a good look.

01:13:59.040 Yeah.

01:13:59.180 She wears it all the time.

01:14:01.380 She's the only Western person to wear the Herman's Hermits outfit.

01:14:07.280 And why doesn't this guy wear the uniform?

01:14:11.140 I mean, if you're going to be a dictator.

01:14:13.140 His dad did, right?

01:14:13.900 You've got to get yourself a snappy uniform.

01:14:15.760 Yeah.

01:14:16.700 I mean, I think, honestly, you look, because, again, I don't know what the uniform would

01:14:19.660 look like on him.

01:14:20.460 There's not a lot of military guys that are overweight.

01:14:25.560 Gary.

01:14:26.420 Yes.

01:14:27.080 I said there's not a lot.

01:14:28.640 There wasn't one.

01:14:30.400 There's not a lot.

01:14:31.400 It's not common.

01:14:32.180 You can name him because he was fat.

01:14:33.360 I mean, when he was at trial for war crimes, they were looking and going, we can't hang

01:14:36.820 this guy.

01:14:37.560 No.

01:14:38.020 How are we going to hang him?

01:14:39.020 There's no way we can hang him.

01:14:40.220 We've got to shoot this guy.

01:14:41.460 He's got the Jeffy problem.

01:14:42.920 Yeah.

01:14:43.060 Can you make the argument, though?

01:14:44.140 Kim Jong-un basically is the basically God.

01:14:46.640 What he's saying there is you're overweight.

01:14:49.860 That's what he's saying there.

01:14:50.960 I understood.

01:14:52.200 Okay.

01:14:52.520 All right.

01:14:52.780 Go ahead.

01:14:53.060 You break whatever they use to hang you.

01:14:55.540 So Kim Jong-un in this country is essentially God, right?

01:15:01.200 Like, he rules the country.

01:15:02.660 He claims to be God, right?

01:15:05.220 He can do anything he wants.

01:15:07.040 If anyone looks at him and says, wow, it looks like you've put on a few, he will murder

01:15:10.220 them.

01:15:11.020 Right.

01:15:11.540 This is his role in this nation.

01:15:13.840 Anyone who says anything about him, if I was in that position, I think he's actually,

01:15:18.060 I would eat everything.

01:15:19.560 I think he's actually exhibiting restraint here.

01:15:22.180 You'd be Jabba the Hutt.

01:15:23.040 The fact that he's only 300 pounds is actually pretty impressive for him.

01:15:28.600 Again, like, he can do anything he wants.

01:15:30.320 You get any food he wants.

01:15:31.640 He can spend anything on food.

01:15:33.040 No one can say anything bad about him.

01:15:34.820 Would you say you would live the life of Jabba the Hutt?

01:15:38.000 You'd have somebody on a little chain in a swimsuit or whatever, and then you would

01:15:43.080 just have people feed you, and you'd be like, rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr.

01:15:47.200 Yes.

01:15:47.960 That's what we would all do.

01:15:49.120 Let's be honest about it.

01:15:49.860 Yeah, I think.

01:15:50.300 We would.

01:15:51.140 Now, the rest of the world may not, or the population, but the four of us.

01:15:54.680 Anybody with self-respect would not do that.

01:15:56.800 No, but we don't have that.

01:15:57.460 Obviously, we would.

01:15:58.740 Right.

01:15:59.340 Exactly right.

01:16:02.640 I mean, sure, you'd have moral lines.

01:16:05.080 I would think probably putting a princess in a neck collar and a bathing suit is probably

01:16:09.520 not the greatest idea there.

01:16:12.000 But I mean, as far as the food goes.

01:16:13.120 Everybody is telling you, that's genius.

01:16:16.400 Yeah.

01:16:16.600 It's true.

01:16:17.660 But I mean, again, like, you get to this point of the food thing.

01:16:20.720 You'd never stop eating.

01:16:22.680 You'd never stop.

01:16:24.320 Never.

01:16:24.420 You would be, my 600-pound life would be like the minor leagues compared to the show you'd

01:16:28.400 be on.

01:16:31.580 I mean, no Houston doctor can stop that.

01:16:34.400 I'm stuck at, you wouldn't put the princess in a neck collar.

01:16:38.900 You've just snuffed your brother out at an airport.

01:16:43.940 I mean, you're killing everybody who just...

01:16:45.780 Jabba the Hutt killed his brother at an airport?

01:16:46.860 No, this guy did.

01:16:48.180 I mean, you've killed everybody who disagrees with you.

01:16:51.740 Oh, oh, I'm going to put a princess in a neck collar.

01:16:54.240 I mean, I think the princess is happier than being killed.

01:16:57.140 Yeah, that's true.

01:16:57.640 She actually survived it.

01:16:58.520 I'm just saying that, you know, there's a lot of things that Jabba may have participated

01:17:02.240 in.

01:17:02.460 That princess doesn't realize how lucky she has it.

01:17:04.540 That's exactly right.

01:17:05.660 As Kim Jong-un is participating in many horrible, horrible things.

01:17:09.220 But we're just, you know, we are, we're talking a little surface here.

01:17:12.380 You know, a lot of people are going to go into depth on these issues.

01:17:14.960 And we will not.

01:17:15.780 We'll stay right on the surface talking about his weight and his dress.

01:17:18.680 And his haircut.

01:17:19.580 And his stupid haircut.

01:17:20.860 Which is reason enough to go to war with him.

01:17:22.860 The haircut is so dumb that I think we should actually attack.

01:17:26.460 Seriously, this guy has all of the earmarks of a Hitler.

01:17:29.620 I mean, a bad haircut, right?

01:17:34.320 He's got the goose-stepping troops.

01:17:36.340 Yep.

01:17:36.520 Yep.

01:17:36.840 The big pictures.

01:17:37.600 He's got the, he's got the Doering fans, the giant pictures.

01:17:42.020 And then they always, now Germany never really did this.

01:17:45.380 But for some reason in the Asian countries, the dictators in the Asian countries, they

01:17:51.580 always have everybody wear like certain color hats or something and that spells something

01:17:57.720 out.

01:17:58.460 I mean, have you ever noticed that the dictator is always way up?

01:18:03.480 Everybody else that's watching it is down on the street.

01:18:06.720 But he's up on the big podium, you know, everybody can see him.

01:18:09.380 And he's the only one that gets to see what they're spelling out with their hats.

01:18:14.360 It's like everybody else in the country have no idea that their hats are certain colors

01:18:18.600 and when they stand together, it spells out, you know, Kim Jong-un, you're the best or

01:18:23.340 whatever it says.

01:18:24.520 Usually that, yeah.

01:18:25.480 Right.

01:18:26.040 Exactly.

01:18:26.900 He's the only one that gets to see it.

01:18:28.880 Nobody else gets to see it.

01:18:30.100 They're all down on the ground.

01:18:31.040 He's the only one that matters.

01:18:32.280 Right.

01:18:32.480 He's the only one.

01:18:33.120 He doesn't care about anyone else seeing it.

01:18:34.640 Nobody else needs to see it.

01:18:36.180 Right.

01:18:36.500 He just needs to know he's the best.

01:18:38.420 Just put that hat on and get down there and stand where I tell you to stand.

01:18:41.160 Right.

01:18:42.100 And bring me some chicken.

01:18:43.740 The only other people to see it are the drones flying above.

01:18:46.640 They all see it.

01:18:47.820 Oh, we could bomb, but, you know, he's the best.

01:18:50.080 So maybe we shouldn't.

01:18:51.880 Maybe it says, maybe what it says is, Kim Jong-un is not here.

01:18:56.900 It could be.

01:18:59.620 It's an interesting life he leads.

01:19:01.580 What do you think is going to happen?

01:19:03.000 You know, did you see, oh my gosh, there was this agonizing editorial.

01:19:08.420 See if I have it.

01:19:10.480 Agonizing editorial about, from the New York Times today.

01:19:16.500 I mean, you want to talk about your head exploding.

01:19:21.300 It was about how Donald Trump has no, here it is.

01:19:29.460 I'll just make your head explode.

01:19:30.760 In times of crisis, credibility is an American president's most valuable currency.

01:19:36.240 It's one thing for a foreign partner to doubt a president's judgment.

01:19:40.500 It's entirely more debilitating when a partner doubts the president's words.

01:19:44.860 Trump confronts twin challenges of North Korea and Syria, and he must overcome credibility gap of making his own.

01:19:51.380 It goes on and on and on about how he has no credibility at all.

01:19:58.460 Then says, President John F. Kennedy demonstrated the value of presidential credibility at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis

01:20:05.920 when he sent emissaries to America's allies in October 1962 to secure support for the quarantine of Cuba.

01:20:13.960 He designated Dean, how do you say his name, Atchson, the former Secretary of State,

01:20:20.220 to deal with Washington's prickliest partner, Charles de Gaulle of France.

01:20:24.040 When he offered to show de Gaulle the spy plane imagery, de Gaulle threw up his hands and said,

01:20:28.660 I only need the word of the president of the United States.

01:20:31.760 That's good enough for me.

01:20:34.460 Every country has a founding mythology.

01:20:36.600 For Americans, it starts with our first president's youthful encounter with a cherry tree.

01:20:42.540 Mr. Trump would do well to find inspiration in that story.

01:20:47.540 You ready?

01:20:49.200 This youthful encounter?

01:20:53.360 Mr. Trump is challenged by relationships.

01:20:56.180 Mr. Obama released more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo who returned to the battlefield

01:21:02.660 and that Democrats made up allegations about Russians' efforts to influence the election.

01:21:10.580 Mr. Trump's canards risk undermining his ability.

01:21:13.600 Okay.

01:21:14.080 I hate it when canards undermine your ability.

01:21:16.020 So do you notice what he's saying?

01:21:17.160 This is a guy who used to be in the State Department for Obama.

01:21:25.440 He's saying that Donald Trump is saying that Obama released 100 detainees from Guantanamo

01:21:34.100 who returned to the battlefield.

01:21:37.280 Yeah, that was true.

01:21:38.840 And?

01:21:38.960 And that Russians were influencing our election.

01:21:44.500 Yeah, well, that was true.

01:21:46.700 He then goes on to say that at least with President Obama, Putin's propaganda campaign made our job tougher than expected.

01:21:56.360 But we had one trump card that usually carried the day.

01:21:59.880 President Obama had credibility.

01:22:02.820 Foreign leaders trusted his word even when they disagreed with his policies.

01:22:07.440 How many times did we see that foreign leaders had no respect for President Obama?

01:22:14.900 And by the way, he had credibility?

01:22:18.260 How about the red line in the sand of Syria?

01:22:23.200 Really?

01:22:25.520 Well, he did make them pay for crossing the red line.

01:22:28.380 He drew another one.

01:22:29.380 I know, I know.

01:22:30.300 So now, here's what the problem is with this show of force in North Korea.

01:22:38.060 You can't send three aircraft carriers and then turn them around.

01:22:43.740 Well, you can.

01:22:44.560 Well, you can, but you don't.

01:22:47.240 I mean, you show this kind of force.

01:22:49.380 Unless it implodes, you're going to have to make it explode.

01:22:53.300 You can't marshal your forces like that and then do nothing and just go back to a stalemate.

01:23:01.240 So something's going to happen one way or another.

01:23:04.080 They're saying very specifically they will no longer continue to stalemate.

01:23:08.180 Right.

01:23:08.600 I mean, they're not saying we're going to go to war, but they're saying we're upping the pressure.

01:23:11.520 Right.

01:23:11.760 And we're going to change this situation.

01:23:13.080 No more strategic patience.

01:23:14.860 We've upped our pressure now.

01:23:16.340 Upped yours.

01:23:17.560 That's what we're saying right now.

01:23:19.800 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:21.320 Every time I look up at a news channel, I see Mike Pence in South Korea.

01:23:34.060 And I feel good about that.

01:23:35.340 I mean, I don't know if I would feel good if I were him.

01:23:38.200 I'd be like, is this a message or something?

01:23:40.740 Do you not like me?

01:23:41.660 Why are you sending me to the war zone?

01:23:45.220 But if this thing comes undone, it may be because of Mike Pence.

01:23:48.560 He's working overtime.

01:23:49.620 You're saying in a good way.

01:23:50.780 In a good way.

01:23:51.200 Yeah, he's a very calm, balanced guy in a crazy world, and it's kind of nice to say.

01:23:58.020 And that is actually, it's interesting to see what happens with Kertner and Bannon because Pence is gone.

01:24:06.640 Because Pence is apparently, it's not a two-prong war, it's a three-prong war.

01:24:10.400 And there's some really interesting things happening behind the scenes.

01:24:13.380 We'll get into that political talk when we come back.

01:24:15.480 You see that Donald Trump has made millennials more politically active than ever before.

01:24:43.100 They say 2020, election 2020, going to be massive one way or another because the millennials are activated and they don't like what's happening and yada, yada, yada.

01:24:56.460 Do you believe that?

01:24:57.020 I mean, if they were activated last time, he would have lost.

01:25:00.520 They weren't.

01:25:01.120 If they voted for him like they voted for Obama, Trump would have lost.

01:25:04.860 But it depends on who the person is running.

01:25:07.340 Right.

01:25:07.540 I mean, if you don't, you know, if they go Marxist, if they go Bernie Sanders, you know, that might catch fire and actually win.

01:25:15.360 Well, rumor is they're going Andrew Cuomo, maybe.

01:25:17.200 Yeah, that's not going to happen.

01:25:18.200 From New York.

01:25:18.860 I mean, please.

01:25:20.160 Everyone loves Andrew Cuomo.

01:25:22.100 I mean, everybody's screaming for Andrew Cuomo.

01:25:25.060 Here's the real problem with America.

01:25:26.940 Yesterday, now this is our audience.

01:25:28.800 This is our audience.

01:25:30.140 Yesterday, at glenbeck.com, about 6,000 people took this poll while we were on the air yesterday.

01:25:36.840 And it was the tax quiz I gave it to you yesterday.

01:25:39.200 Yep.

01:25:39.880 The average score, the average score was 55%.

01:25:45.620 Wow.

01:25:46.720 That means those questions were pretty simple, you know.

01:25:51.360 There were some challenges in there.

01:25:53.300 Yeah, there were.

01:25:55.120 Maybe 80%.

01:25:56.420 Average score, 70%.

01:25:58.140 Yeah, sure.

01:25:58.520 I can understand.

01:25:59.500 Not 55%.

01:26:01.060 No.

01:26:01.420 How many times did Jeffy take it, though?

01:26:02.740 Not this audience.

01:26:03.560 Yeah, I know.

01:26:04.460 If Jeffy took it a couple times.

01:26:05.680 5,500 times.

01:26:06.320 Okay.

01:26:06.760 Well, I mean, that's incredible to me.

01:26:09.780 We don't know our own history about, you know, things like basic income tax.

01:26:13.640 By the way, how charitable do you feel today?

01:26:15.700 I'm crazy charitable do you feel today.

01:26:18.260 That's why I file for an extension, to draw the pain out even longer.

01:26:22.740 You just want to drag it out and just let it needle you and let them add on some fees.

01:26:26.780 You pretty much do that every year, don't you?

01:26:28.900 Too many years.

01:26:29.940 Yeah.

01:26:30.040 Yeah.

01:26:30.220 A couple years I've made it on time.

01:26:31.560 But usually, something is always going on that's absolutely insane between the beginning

01:26:36.620 of the year and now, and I can never get to it.

01:26:39.520 So, yet again, another extension.

01:26:41.580 I've had a lot of them.

01:26:43.800 And the crazy thing is, he never goes back and files his taxes.

01:26:47.700 He files for the extension, then he just never does it.

01:26:49.700 I heard you got a call from someone in your office that said, I hadn't paid taxes in

01:26:52.480 10 years.

01:26:53.620 I get it.

01:26:54.020 Now it's out there, and you should answer for it.

01:26:55.880 I just did.

01:26:56.600 But that's a different story.

01:26:58.080 You know, we were talking about Pence.

01:26:59.860 You know, I have confidence in Mike Pence.

01:27:04.840 Yeah, I mean.

01:27:05.540 I mean, the only thing that makes me question Mike Pence is sometimes the blind following

01:27:11.720 of Donald Trump on things like, you know, the capitalist system, I don't think it's working.

01:27:17.280 Okay, Mike, what?

01:27:18.640 Yeah, he said something like, well, the free market's been going on for a long time, and

01:27:22.080 we're losing.

01:27:23.060 Yeah.

01:27:23.540 America's losing.

01:27:24.400 It's like, wait a minute.

01:27:25.100 Actually, we're the most powerful country.

01:27:26.300 But again, I think this is also part of his gig as vice president, right?

01:27:29.720 I mean, you know, you excuse that at some level.

01:27:32.440 Yeah.

01:27:32.600 You know, Sarah Palin was, you know, gave a lot of things.

01:27:36.720 Her and McCain disagreed out a lot.

01:27:38.440 He was a really liked governor, though, wasn't he?

01:27:40.740 In Indiana?

01:27:41.380 Pence, yeah, he did pretty well.

01:27:42.540 I think so, yeah.

01:27:43.320 Yeah.

01:27:43.720 Who's the most popular governor in America?

01:27:46.140 Okay, so this is incredible, actually.

01:27:49.040 Let me give you the top 10.

01:27:50.440 Number 10, Gary Herbert from Utah.

01:27:53.140 64% of him.

01:27:53.940 Number 10?

01:27:54.580 Number 10.

01:27:55.100 Wow.

01:27:55.440 Tied with number 9.

01:27:56.600 I like Gary.

01:27:57.420 I don't necessarily like his policy.

01:27:58.760 I don't know much about it, but I like him.

01:28:00.840 He's a nice guy.

01:28:01.520 There's four governors tied at 64%.

01:28:03.680 Gary Herbert, Greg Abbott here in Texas.

01:28:07.200 Greg Abbott is only at 64%?

01:28:10.240 Pretty good.

01:28:11.060 Greg Abbott should be the number one governor in America.

01:28:14.840 Good for top 10.

01:28:15.680 That's pretty good.

01:28:16.660 That is an insult to Greg Abbott.

01:28:20.180 Tennessee, Bill Haslam, and Nevada's Brian Sandoval, all at 64%.

01:28:24.200 In 6th place, Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, at 67%.

01:28:29.540 Wait a minute.

01:28:30.300 So far, aren't all of these guys are Republican, aren't they?

01:28:34.800 So far, all Republicans.

01:28:35.900 Yes, they are.

01:28:36.740 5th place, South Dakota, Dennis Dorgard, 68%.

01:28:40.460 Don't know about him.

01:28:41.840 Also tied at 68%.

01:28:43.460 Vermont's Phil Scott, also a Republican.

01:28:47.260 In Vermont.

01:28:47.980 In Vermont.

01:28:48.860 Wow.

01:28:49.060 That's kind of interesting.

01:28:50.080 Number three, North Dakota's Doug Burgum, at 69%.

01:28:54.860 Also a Republican.

01:28:57.140 Number two, Maryland's Larry Hogan.

01:29:00.260 Can't be a Republican.

01:29:01.560 Also a Republican.

01:29:03.380 He is.

01:29:03.680 You've got to be kidding me.

01:29:04.680 That's amazing.

01:29:04.720 73% approval in Maryland for a Republican.

01:29:09.120 Wow.

01:29:09.280 What has he done?

01:29:10.520 Wow.

01:29:10.940 What pact with the devil has he made?

01:29:13.780 That's amazing, isn't it?

01:29:14.780 Yeah, that's incredible.

01:29:15.640 A Republican governor with 73% approval in Maryland.

01:29:19.060 And nine points higher than Greg Abbott.

01:29:21.460 Greg Abbott.

01:29:21.920 That's crazy.

01:29:22.860 I'm telling you, America, Greg Abbott is the greatest.

01:29:27.300 He's great.

01:29:27.660 I mean, I'd vote for him in 2020.

01:29:29.820 I'd vote for him.

01:29:30.680 He is.

01:29:30.980 I don't think he's running in 2020.

01:29:32.240 No, he's not.

01:29:32.920 Against a Republican.

01:29:33.760 He is.

01:29:34.180 You mean for president.

01:29:35.380 For president.

01:29:36.080 He's remarkable.

01:29:37.680 Yeah, he's good.

01:29:37.940 He's remarkable.

01:29:39.200 You could remark upon him, yes.

01:29:40.560 Yes.

01:29:41.040 It is possible you do have the ability to remark.

01:29:43.500 Shut up.

01:29:44.560 It's historic.

01:29:45.520 It happened in history.

01:29:46.560 Yeah.

01:29:46.640 Number one, governor of approval rating in America, Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, 75%.

01:29:54.600 Holy cow.

01:29:55.320 A Republican.

01:29:56.140 A Republican.

01:29:56.720 Oh my gosh.

01:29:57.400 All of them.

01:29:58.500 Top 10.

01:29:58.900 Yeah.

01:29:59.160 All of them.

01:29:59.580 The whole top 10 are all Republicans.

01:30:01.820 Number one, number two, and number four, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Vermont.

01:30:06.920 Republicans.

01:30:07.940 That's crazy.

01:30:08.680 I mean, look.

01:30:09.200 They might not be as conservative as you might want.

01:30:11.380 And by the way, number 11 is Nathan Deal from Georgia.

01:30:14.000 Where do you have to go to get to the first Democrat?

01:30:16.780 Number 12, New York's Andrew Cuomo at 62%, which is, I wonder why, if that's.

01:30:23.100 Yeah.

01:30:23.520 But who.

01:30:24.220 But he just fits New York.

01:30:25.960 I mean, you know.

01:30:26.840 Yeah.

01:30:27.140 Obviously, you know, you've got the history there with his father.

01:30:30.900 Everybody's screaming, if I could just get another New York liberal to choose from.

01:30:36.140 Right.

01:30:36.500 I had Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

01:30:38.260 Now, if I could get Donald Trump and the governor of New York, now that's filling my

01:30:42.980 appetite.

01:30:43.540 Maybe we only allow people from New York to run for president.

01:30:45.800 Right.

01:30:45.960 Maybe that's a new rule.

01:30:47.040 That's it.

01:30:47.200 A constitutional amendment.

01:30:48.740 How about the bottom 10?

01:30:50.200 This is kind of interesting.

01:30:51.520 Wait.

01:30:52.380 When was this taken?

01:30:53.820 Very recently.

01:30:54.580 Last week, it was released.

01:30:57.180 Is the governor of Alabama the last one?

01:31:00.920 I bet not.

01:31:01.840 I bet not.

01:31:02.400 Even with that scandal, I bet his approval ratings.

01:31:05.840 That scandal's been going on a long time.

01:31:07.560 For a long time.

01:31:08.140 For a long time.

01:31:08.680 For a long time.

01:31:08.860 For a long time.

01:31:08.980 For a long time.

01:31:09.060 For a long time.

01:31:09.180 For a long time.

01:31:09.620 For a long time.

01:31:09.880 Yeah.

01:31:09.900 Yeah.

01:31:09.960 Yeah.

01:31:10.140 Yeah.

01:31:10.380 So a long time.

01:31:11.580 Where is he?

01:31:12.280 Robert Bentley is who you're referring to.

01:31:14.100 He has a 44% approval rating, which is not terrible.

01:31:17.240 Not terrible.

01:31:18.060 He had his apology written by his mistress.

01:31:23.160 Yeah.

01:31:23.500 I mean, she was like his chief of staff or whatever, so she would do stuff for him.

01:31:27.680 She won a lot of things.

01:31:29.180 A lot of stuff for him.

01:31:30.100 A lot of stuff for him.

01:31:30.620 She did a lot of stuff for him.

01:31:31.820 Yeah.

01:31:32.100 So he's actually in 41st place at a 49.

01:31:36.420 He is below that guy.

01:31:37.800 So there's 49 governors in the poll because Nikki Haley had just left, so there's no South

01:31:41.620 Carolina poll.

01:31:42.680 So interesting one, because we were guessing at who would be the top of the other, kind

01:31:47.040 of off the air.

01:31:48.140 Wisconsin's Scott Walker was guessed.

01:31:49.840 He's actually in 40th.

01:31:51.000 So he's only one slot away ahead of Alabama's Robert Bentley.

01:31:54.940 Wow.

01:31:55.860 It's interesting.

01:31:56.760 What's his rating now?

01:31:58.340 He's at 46, which is not terrible for a blue state.

01:32:01.360 Scott Walker.

01:32:01.840 He turned that state's economy around.

01:32:05.460 How does he have an approval rating so low?

01:32:07.820 I don't know.

01:32:08.680 So 41st, Alabama's Robert Bentley.

01:32:11.120 Yeah.

01:32:11.560 42 is New Mexico's Susanna Martinez, another one who's talked about for VP roles over the

01:32:16.660 years.

01:32:16.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:32:17.640 Alaska's Bill Walker at 43% is also in 43rd place.

01:32:21.300 Wow.

01:32:21.700 Well, I think Alaska's got to be hard because everybody else is like...

01:32:24.840 They're so cold, they don't even know what's going on in that state.

01:32:27.800 Like, do you know, I mean, what Alaskan wants any government?

01:32:32.640 Right.

01:32:33.140 Yeah.

01:32:33.500 Alaskans are like, I want to kill a bear with my bear hands and my boy's teeth.

01:32:39.300 You want to use your boy's teeth?

01:32:40.560 You don't think Texans are like that?

01:32:41.700 Texans are like that.

01:32:42.520 No, they used to be.

01:32:43.340 We have too much California in this.

01:32:44.700 Too many people moved here.

01:32:45.960 Who lives up in Alaska except people who are like, I want to prove to myself every day

01:32:51.460 that I'm alive!

01:32:53.460 You're like, okay, all right.

01:32:55.120 But Sarah Palin had a really high approval rating when she...

01:32:58.880 She was shooting wolves from a helicopter.

01:33:02.020 Well, there you go.

01:33:02.960 Maybe that's the secret.

01:33:04.160 Right.

01:33:04.680 Illinois, Bruce Rauner, 42%.

01:33:07.240 Then this one surprised me, actually.

01:33:08.920 Oklahoma's Mary Fallon at 41%.

01:33:11.440 I think she sold out on a couple of big things.

01:33:15.000 Yeah, the Common Core was one of the big...

01:33:16.800 Yeah, Common Core was a big one.

01:33:17.680 She came around on that one, right?

01:33:19.060 At least a little bit.

01:33:19.820 Yeah, but nobody believed her.

01:33:20.700 Yeah.

01:33:20.860 So she's in 45th out of 49.

01:33:22.880 46th place, Michigan's Rick Snyder at 40%.

01:33:26.780 Now, he had the Flint thing going on in that, where he got some of the blame for that.

01:33:30.580 That would hurt.

01:33:30.920 However, you know, Trump won Michigan, and they got a Republican governor, and he still

01:33:34.820 got only a 40% approval rating.

01:33:36.280 And how do you blame the city's water thing on the governor of the state?

01:33:39.820 You know, I got to tell you, your water, if you can't, after two years, you can't put

01:33:45.440 the water out.

01:33:46.480 I mean, it's water.

01:33:49.840 You use water to put fire out.

01:33:52.780 When the water is on fire, you got to fix that kind of fast.

01:33:56.580 I don't think the water was on fire.

01:33:58.560 It was lead in it.

01:33:59.360 You just got to fix it kind of fast.

01:34:01.300 It was a little scary.

01:34:02.440 So now we come off a cliff, because we've gone through the first 46 governors, and we're

01:34:07.000 still above 40%.

01:34:08.460 Now we fall off the cliff.

01:34:10.120 There are no governors in the 30% approval range.

01:34:12.800 None.

01:34:12.980 So you go down to 29% is the next approval rate.

01:34:16.360 And the governor of Alabama is not there.

01:34:19.000 No.

01:34:19.340 He's way ahead of...

01:34:21.260 20%.

01:34:21.620 Who's got that?

01:34:22.660 Connecticut's Dan Malloy.

01:34:24.380 Oh, no.

01:34:25.080 29%.

01:34:26.280 It's hard to blame Connecticut on anything other than 100 years of nasty Democratic corruption.

01:34:35.500 Right, but they have.

01:34:36.480 They got their guy, right?

01:34:38.240 I mean, Malloy is that guy.

01:34:39.920 I know.

01:34:40.320 And they should be thrilled with that, because as a resident of Connecticut for most of my

01:34:44.120 life, I realize that this is what they want with their state.

01:34:46.880 This is what they choose every time.

01:34:48.720 No, but they think that it's going to end differently every time.

01:34:52.340 That's the thing.

01:34:53.440 You talk to them, and you're like, no, neighbor.

01:34:56.740 It doesn't work out.

01:34:58.280 Remember, you've done this for the last 40 years.

01:35:00.800 And it's why we're paying taxes so high.

01:35:04.200 And Bridgeport is turning into North Korea.

01:35:09.060 I mean, there's a problem here.

01:35:10.800 Change the way you vote.

01:35:13.260 And they're like, no, this is going to...

01:35:14.600 No, he's great.

01:35:15.440 The Democrats are going to be great.

01:35:17.040 Yeah.

01:35:17.340 They deserve it.

01:35:18.800 In second to last place.

01:35:21.200 Yes.

01:35:22.220 Kansas.

01:35:23.120 Sam Brownback.

01:35:24.780 27%.

01:35:26.120 Wow.

01:35:27.040 That was interesting.

01:35:27.940 What the hell has happened to Sam Brownback?

01:35:29.260 We actually did a segment on this on Pat and Stu the other day.

01:35:33.600 And it's like, it doesn't seem to be a real clear answer.

01:35:37.240 There doesn't seem to be.

01:35:38.280 There's been some...

01:35:39.640 You know, he lowered taxes, and they've had some budget issues.

01:35:43.360 Like, you know, we heard that he lowered taxes and then didn't cut spending.

01:35:49.000 So he only did half of the formula.

01:35:50.800 That's a problem.

01:35:51.480 And there was an issue there.

01:35:52.680 As we learned from Calvin Coolidge, you've got to cut first.

01:35:55.720 But he was important.

01:35:56.440 He was a popular guy at one point.

01:35:59.440 A popular senator from there.

01:36:01.080 And that's really fallen off the rails there.

01:36:03.420 And it was one of the reasons why they think the most recent...

01:36:06.520 The replacement for Mike Pompeo, the congressional race, was much closer than it was in the presidential race.

01:36:13.420 It was like, what was it?

01:36:14.100 Seven points he won by the Republican.

01:36:17.100 In a district that was heavily favored for Republicans.

01:36:19.200 I can't find the story.

01:36:33.220 It's...

01:36:33.700 It is just broken.

01:36:36.040 And nobody has updated it yet.

01:36:37.980 The Facebook serial killer, or the Facebook killer, is dead.

01:36:43.340 Self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

01:36:45.100 Apparently, they found him in Erie, Pennsylvania?

01:36:48.580 Yes.

01:36:49.460 And they cornered him, and he shot himself.

01:36:52.120 Also, he did not kill Facebook.

01:36:53.740 Therefore, he's not the Facebook killer.

01:36:55.620 He's actually just a murderer.

01:36:57.400 And the video was posted there, which has nothing to do with Facebook.

01:37:00.340 Just thought I'd point that out for the 550th time.

01:37:02.440 In Erie, Pennsylvania, I mean, that's less than two hours from Cleveland.

01:37:06.860 I mean, that's just up the road.

01:37:08.080 Yeah, there was reports that he was even further away.

01:37:10.280 But in Erie, and, you know, thank God.

01:37:13.260 Because he was obviously an active danger to everyone he was near.

01:37:18.300 And so that is over.

01:37:20.460 Thank God.

01:37:21.840 Thank God.

01:37:24.700 Any idea?

01:37:26.120 We don't have anything yet.

01:37:28.160 Here's what I have.

01:37:28.560 Steve Stevens, a man who posted the Facebook video to Facebook

01:37:31.500 showing him fatally shooting an elderly man in Cleveland

01:37:33.680 was found dead on Tuesday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound

01:37:36.480 in Erie, Pennsylvania.

01:37:38.000 Stevens was reportedly driving a white Ford Fusion

01:37:40.100 was found dead inside the car Tuesday morning

01:37:41.840 after state troopers followed the car.

01:37:43.740 Stevens was on the run since Sunday,

01:37:45.280 thought to have been spotted as far away as Philadelphia on Monday.

01:37:48.780 So there you go.

01:37:50.460 In fact, Philadelphia, Glenn,

01:37:53.080 happens to be just across a river

01:37:55.560 from the least popular governor

01:37:57.620 in the United States of America

01:37:59.760 to bring him back.

01:38:00.840 No way.

01:38:01.780 Yes.

01:38:02.460 Number 49.

01:38:04.000 49 of 49 is Chris Christie.

01:38:07.120 Oh, my gosh.

01:38:08.820 Massive failure.

01:38:10.080 25% approval rating.

01:38:12.040 71% disapprove.

01:38:13.920 Wow.

01:38:14.660 How did that happen?

01:38:16.020 Was that all Trump?

01:38:17.280 No, actually.

01:38:18.120 He had really tanked before that.

01:38:19.740 I think it's the Bridgegate thing, probably.

01:38:20.700 The Bridgegate thing, I would say,

01:38:21.620 is the biggest part of that.

01:38:22.660 Because he obviously was tied into that.

01:38:25.500 Bridgegate.

01:38:25.880 He's Mr. Climate Change.

01:38:27.760 Yeah, well, but in New Jersey, that didn't.

01:38:30.220 I don't think that hurt him that much.

01:38:31.240 The issue with him was the Bridgegate thing started it,

01:38:33.500 and he had already fallen from his heights at that point.

01:38:36.360 The Bridgegate thing made it worse.

01:38:37.780 Then he was so desperate,

01:38:39.680 knowing his career was essentially over in New Jersey.

01:38:42.600 That's why he ran for president, a lot of people argue.

01:38:46.200 And then, of course, it's also why Christie,

01:38:48.520 who is the guy you'd think would not be the one immediately tied to Trump,

01:38:53.400 was one of the first people to endorse him,

01:38:54.980 because he kind of saw it as his only way out of the position he was in.

01:38:59.320 Trump wins, and then he still gets a giant zilch out of it.

01:39:04.180 So that sucks for him.

01:39:05.620 But 25% last place for Chris Christie.

01:39:08.660 He's not coming back.

01:39:09.820 I wouldn't be shocked to see him get some role.

01:39:14.000 He did have some transition roles with the Trump administration.

01:39:18.240 I wouldn't be shocked to see him get something at some point.

01:39:22.260 He was very, very loyal to Trump in the toughest of moments.

01:39:26.880 I'll tell you, we should look at the policies of the top 10.

01:39:30.540 They're all Republican, but let's see how conservative they really are.

01:39:34.820 Let's see what's making them so popular in each of those states.

01:39:38.000 And see if there's a thread, a conservative,

01:39:42.360 a real conservative thread that ties them all together.

01:39:45.820 I mean, the reason why the Texas government is so popular

01:39:48.240 is it only meets every other year.

01:39:50.680 And only for a few months.

01:39:52.700 They're never in session.

01:39:54.240 So everybody's like, I'm good with that.

01:39:57.040 Who are they again?

01:39:58.120 What do they do?

01:39:58.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:40:03.180 Mercury.
