The Glenn Beck Program - 5⧸8⧸17 - Who owns you？ (Gov.Greg Abbott Joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.

00:00:08.140 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Glad you're here.

00:00:12.080 Mac Brown has won the historic French election.

00:00:15.520 Now the hard work begins and the Russians hacked in in the last two days.

00:00:21.780 There's a blackout in France, so the media can't cover anything that is happening in the last two days.

00:00:27.420 The Russians hacked in and did pretty much a WikiLeaks release exactly the way they did it here in the United States. 0.68

00:00:36.620 We know the Russians did it. We know exactly who did it. 1.00

00:00:40.680 And it is exactly the same group of Russians that did it to the DNC. 0.95

00:00:46.580 Why are they doing that? We'll explain.

00:00:49.260 Also, Folds of Honor, a way for you to honor our vets.

00:00:54.840 It's going on now live, and we'll tell you all about it.

00:00:58.420 The next threat that may be coming our way.

00:01:02.760 And Lawrence Jones, who works for The Blaze, he was on Fox and Friends today.

00:01:09.660 I'm sorry, over the weekend.

00:01:11.360 And he took on Wanda Sykes, the comedian, if you can call her that.

00:01:16.780 And she was saying that anybody who stands against health care, well, you're a racist.

00:01:24.280 Lawrence, who is black, says, no, that's not true.

00:01:29.040 Wait until you hear what happened to Lawrence this weekend for taking that stand.

00:01:35.200 That and more begins right now.

00:01:36.980 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand.

00:01:45.060 Because we are one. I will be my drum. I have made my choice.

00:01:51.320 We will overcome. Because we are one.

00:01:55.660 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:59.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:03.080 We have Greg Abbott coming on in just a few minutes.

00:02:08.360 Last night, Greg Abbott signed a ban on so-called sanctuary cities,

00:02:13.320 which allows police to ask about a person's immigration status

00:02:17.520 and threaten the sheriffs with jail if they don't cooperate with federal authorities.

00:02:21.580 He did so here in Texas over intense opposition from immigrant rights groups and Democrats

00:02:28.920 who say Texas is just becoming Arizona.

00:02:34.080 No. No, it's not.

00:02:36.080 Let's face it, the reason why so many people come to America is because we're a nation of laws

00:02:40.240 and Texas is doing its part to keep it that way.

00:02:45.480 He did this last night because there were going to be big protests today as he was signing it.

00:02:53.440 So he's like, let's just do it early.

00:02:56.540 So he signed it last night.

00:02:58.140 I love this guy.

00:02:59.140 I think Greg Abbott is the most reasoned, sensible, just right down the line governor I have ever witnessed

00:03:14.320 or I've ever lived with or voted for in a state.

00:03:18.840 I've never seen somebody as even-keeled as Greg Abbott.

00:03:23.580 Would you agree with that, Stu?

00:03:24.680 Yeah, I mean, he does not show emotion.

00:03:27.420 He doesn't seem to act because of emotion.

00:03:31.160 Yeah, he's not flamboyant.

00:03:32.400 He's not throwing bombs.

00:03:34.000 He's not doing anything.

00:03:34.900 He's just like, no, this is not right, and here's why.

00:03:38.500 And he reasons it out, and then he just does it.

00:03:41.280 Then he acts on it.

00:03:42.120 Yeah.

00:03:42.740 I really like him.

00:03:44.260 So we have him coming up in just a few minutes.

00:03:49.880 One thing they have to do as that kind of works its way through not only through Texas

00:03:54.220 but through a lot of states who are dealing with this,

00:03:56.280 and obviously the president has made it a big priority,

00:03:58.680 they have to define actually what a sanctuary city is

00:04:01.660 because there's a lot of – a sanctuary city isn't a real term per se.

00:04:06.880 It's something that we've kind of, like, talked about to summarize the city

00:04:11.280 who's ignoring some federal regulation.

00:04:13.800 But you have to come up with an actual definition for these cities to comply with.

00:04:18.260 And now, because it's a priority of the president in particular,

00:04:21.500 a lot of these cities are saying, hey, well, what is it?

00:04:24.240 What do we have to do?

00:04:26.300 You have to comply to the law.

00:04:30.900 You have to follow the law.

00:04:32.420 How hard is that?

00:04:33.160 Well, it seems easy.

00:04:34.800 However, they can't define it.

00:04:37.320 The cities have asked the administration, hey, what do we have to do?

00:04:40.460 And they're like, well, we don't have that fully fleshed out yet.

00:04:42.480 I mean, how hard is that?

00:04:45.680 Well, there's also some things that judges are in the middle of ruling on,

00:04:49.300 so it's not like they're just ignoring the responsibility to figure out a definition.

00:04:53.560 But that definition has to be fleshed out.

00:04:55.540 And, of course, at that point, whatever that definition is,

00:04:58.240 is the absolute maximum any of these cities will do.

00:05:01.340 So you have to try to encompass as much of these problems as possible in that definition

00:05:06.900 because they're not going to go any further.

00:05:08.720 They're not going to work on the spirit of the law, that's for sure.

00:05:11.640 So let's change subjects here.

00:05:13.740 Let me give you this.

00:05:15.160 Here is a liberal writer, Kurt Eichenwald.

00:05:18.280 He works for MSNBC and Newsweek.

00:05:24.840 Here's what he said about the Obamacare replacement bill.

00:05:28.740 As one with pre-existing conditions,

00:05:32.040 I hope every GOP-er who voted for Trumpcare

00:05:35.120 sees a family member get long-term condition,

00:05:39.280 lose insurance, and die.

00:05:42.140 Because I want them to be tortured.

00:05:44.420 GOP-ers only gain empathy 0.98

00:05:47.580 when they're touched by the consequences never before.

00:05:53.300 Excuse me?

00:05:54.400 Special.

00:05:56.280 Now, Andrea Mitchell, this is just pathetic,

00:06:00.100 Andrea Mitchell demands the HHS secretary 0.98

00:06:02.980 defend the white male members of Congress.

00:06:07.340 Listen to this audio.

00:06:08.260 Let's talk about women. 0.91

00:06:09.120 I mean, when we looked at the Rose Garden

00:06:10.860 and the celebration of this on Thursday,

00:06:15.440 they were all, mostly all, men and white men at that.

00:06:19.000 There was no diversity there.

00:06:20.420 Women's health issues arguably are going to be disproportionately affected. 0.87

00:06:25.260 Take a look at this.

00:06:26.060 Obamacare includes maternity and newborn care,

00:06:28.960 preventative care, mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, birth control.

00:06:33.060 All of this under the essential package

00:06:35.600 no longer required under this House bill.

00:06:38.180 Andrea, come on. 0.99

00:06:40.460 Look at that picture.

00:06:42.340 Congresswoman Diane Black, the chair of the Budget Committee,

00:06:44.880 I was standing next to her.

00:06:46.340 Seema Verma, the administrator of CMS,

00:06:48.380 I was standing right next to her.

00:06:51.080 Out of a group of dozens and dozens of people,

00:06:53.820 you can cite two or three women?

00:06:57.200 These are prominent individuals who are leading in this area of health care.

00:07:04.320 But the goal, as I mentioned,

00:07:06.120 is to make certain that every single American,

00:07:08.620 men, women, rich, poor, old, young,

00:07:13.360 have the kind of coverage that they want for themselves and for their families,

00:07:16.700 not that government forces them to buy.

00:07:18.740 That's the change.

00:07:19.840 Can I just say I am so tired of the gender stuff. 1.00

00:07:29.480 I'm so tired of the black-white stuff.

00:07:32.400 I'm so tired of it.

00:07:34.900 Aren't we all supposed to be equal?

00:07:38.880 Aren't we all supposed to be equal?

00:07:41.180 Aren't we all supposed to just look at each other as brothers and sisters?

00:07:45.900 Aren't we judged on merit, right?

00:07:50.180 Right, and judged on the merit of what things are.

00:07:53.940 Why does everything now have to come down to

00:07:57.800 you're in this category or that category?

00:08:00.440 And have you thought about this category?

00:08:02.780 I'm thinking about human beings.

00:08:05.300 Now, I'm not somebody who supported this bill.

00:08:08.780 But this stuff makes me want to defend the people who did even write the bill.

00:08:14.460 But whether the bill is fantastic or horrific,

00:08:18.460 you don't make decisions on the bill based on people's genitals. 1.00

00:08:22.900 That is not the right way to...

00:08:26.140 You know what?

00:08:26.620 I really respect your opinion, but you got the wrong genitals. 1.00

00:08:29.620 Sorry.

00:08:30.420 That's not a sensible...

00:08:31.400 That doesn't even matter.

00:08:32.640 I mean, how do you even know?

00:08:34.740 Unless you ask them how they identify on a particular day.

00:08:38.960 Here's Andrea Mitchell.

00:08:39.940 I would have loved for him to say,

00:08:41.240 Andrea, are you judging these people by the way they're dressed?

00:08:45.400 Are you identifying their genders by the way they look or the way they dress?

00:08:50.280 You don't know how many of there identify as a woman?

00:08:54.980 How dare you, Andrea? 1.00

00:08:57.340 It's that ridiculous.

00:08:58.600 It is that ridiculous.

00:09:00.400 It truly is that ridiculous.

00:09:02.300 And I'm just sick of it.

00:09:04.060 I'm just...

00:09:04.520 Remember I used to say, spit yourself out of the system?

00:09:07.900 The only way to survive is to spit yourself out of the system?

00:09:11.540 Here's the big loogie that you're spitting yourself out.

00:09:16.520 Here's the one that you really...

00:09:19.020 Everybody turns their head as you're getting ready to spit it out.

00:09:24.200 Get out of this kind of debate.

00:09:28.660 Just get out.

00:09:30.080 Because there's nothing good that comes from any of this.

00:09:33.080 But it's everywhere.

00:09:33.780 It affects everything.

00:09:34.560 I mean, you know what?

00:09:36.740 Sarah, do we have the Eric Liu audio?

00:09:40.320 I want to play this.

00:09:41.620 I had Eric on Thursday and Thursday on television.

00:09:48.500 Here's a guy who we vehemently disagree with.

00:09:52.940 Listen to this conversation.

00:09:55.040 How do we find people?

00:09:57.180 And this goes to both sides.

00:09:58.760 How do we find people on the left or the right that just will surrender?

00:10:05.480 I don't want to win anymore.

00:10:06.640 I just want to stop.

00:10:09.260 How do we find them?

00:10:11.780 Because it's courage.

00:10:13.860 That takes profound courage.

00:10:16.820 You know, it is a...

00:10:18.400 There is a little bit of a chicken and egg to it that you can't start that cycle until you start that cycle.

00:10:22.480 But, you know, had...

00:10:26.660 I mean, let's put Tavis Smiley aside.

00:10:29.220 In this moment right now, I will own my piece of it.

00:10:33.120 I think the amount that Eric Liu has contributed to the toxicity and polarization of our political culture today is a small fraction of that which perhaps Glenn Beck, who has a much larger voice and platform, has contributed.

00:10:45.560 But it's really not about whether it's 95-5, 99-1, 60-40, whatever, right?

00:10:51.200 My piece of this is I certainly over the years have not only contributed to a polarization of the rhetoric where, you know, there's been a...

00:11:02.420 I wrote a piece where I said libertarians are the new communists, right?

00:11:07.340 Because they're just dogmatic and they want...

00:11:09.260 They preach not control, but they just want to control what they're not control, right?

00:11:12.960 And, you know, and I did it partly for effect.

00:11:15.200 But guess what?

00:11:15.860 So did you.

00:11:16.600 Because we understood that in this media environment that we just said, yeah, not my responsibility.

00:11:20.940 I'm just playing in the game that, you know, that I walked into.

00:11:23.780 That in this game, we both knew that if we dialed it up that way, and I called you a communist, and you called me a communist back or something, you called me a fascist, that on each side we'd get...

00:11:34.140 We'd pile up the likes, right?

00:11:35.820 There have been times where I watched a debate unfold and watched people on my side start hardening into these positions that are kind of a caricature, right?

00:11:46.200 And I just said, you know what?

00:11:47.940 That's my side.

00:11:49.300 You know, I know they've got a good heart, and I'm going to let that slide.

00:11:52.800 Or to take a very live example right now, plenty of folks, you and I have talked about this, are saying to me, hey, Eric, it's wonderful that you're now quite alert to the dangers of executive overreach.

00:12:05.120 Now that Donald Trump is in the White House.

00:12:07.520 But why didn't you say anything when President Obama was using executive orders willy-nilly and saying outright that he would do so to bypass Congress?

00:12:16.140 Guess what my answer is?

00:12:17.740 Yeah, you're kind of right.

00:12:19.140 You're kind of right.

00:12:20.080 I own...

00:12:20.540 Like, during those years, I didn't say anything.

00:12:22.920 You know why?

00:12:23.380 Because I liked the outcomes that Obama was advancing through his executive orders.

00:12:29.020 And that is so refreshing, and for my side, that was against all of the executive orders.

00:12:37.580 To watch them now say, well, we have to do something.

00:12:42.140 No.

00:12:43.160 No, what we have to do is abide by our principles in the Constitution.

00:12:47.420 We abide by our principles.

00:12:51.580 And it's the...

00:12:54.560 Nobody sees that the game has just switched chairs, switched sides, and we've switched arguments, and it's going to switch again.

00:13:06.200 Yeah.

00:13:06.340 And in the end, nobody has any credibility.

00:13:09.440 Everybody has to shoot each other.

00:13:11.260 Yeah.

00:13:11.760 Because everyone knows that the other side, whichever side you're on, doesn't mean it.

00:13:16.880 Yeah.

00:13:17.140 Doesn't mean it.

00:13:18.360 And so you've got nothing left.

00:13:20.520 You and I have this thing in common, which we probably maybe, you know, many years ago wouldn't admit so readily.

00:13:27.560 But that is, you and I are both actually earnest believers in ideas.

00:13:32.580 Yeah.

00:13:32.820 Right.

00:13:33.720 There are lots and lots of folks in politics right now, especially national politics, for whom it really is a game or performance art or just, you know, positioning.

00:13:43.620 And it will flip the moment circumstances flip.

00:13:46.760 Right?

00:13:46.980 And I think the thing that, going back to your question, like, how do we break this cycle?

00:13:55.320 Part A of the answer is we break this cycle.

00:13:57.620 You've just got to start reaching out and saying...

00:13:59.800 I keep telling people you're just going to have to kiss a ton of frogs.

00:14:02.440 Yeah.

00:14:03.320 You're going to kiss a frog and they'll swear to you they're a prince and then you're going to go, nope, that wasn't you.

00:14:09.160 Yeah.

00:14:10.420 But there's nothing lost.

00:14:12.320 Here's the thing.

00:14:12.800 There's nothing lost in doing that.

00:14:14.800 Right?

00:14:15.040 And I think this is one of the things that people sometimes imagine.

00:14:19.460 Because our politics has become this tribalized, polarized, kabuki theater game, people think that it's all zero sum, that it's a battle to the death.

00:14:28.480 And that if your side makes a gain, that must mean that my side is losing.

00:14:33.140 And my answer is actually no.

00:14:35.600 Like, you know, the word you used a few minutes ago I think is extraordinary.

00:14:40.200 Surrender.

00:14:41.740 Right?

00:14:41.920 Surrender.

00:14:43.040 Like, I think one of the deepest insights that we're all going to wake up to eventually as a country is there are lots and lots of times in politics where you advance by yielding.

00:14:53.880 Right?

00:14:54.500 Instead of jamming through and thinking, my job is to grind this other guy to dust.

00:14:59.240 If I say, hey, my job is to recognize that politics is a game of infinite repeat play and you win some and you lose some and I'll concede this point, I won't fight this point, and I know next time I'm going to get the point or whatever, that's a different mindset.

00:15:13.940 Right?

00:15:14.220 And yielding isn't being weak.

00:15:18.040 Yielding is saying we share responsibility for this thing.

00:15:21.420 Right?

00:15:21.820 And it's not just a game.

00:15:23.860 It's not just a cynical performance.

00:15:25.660 We actually own the republic.

00:15:27.240 We're actually, you and I, 1791, you know, you're saying we are stewards of something called the Bill of Rights.

00:15:34.280 We are stewards.

00:15:36.020 You know, if I started a clothing company, it would be 1868 because I like the 14th Amendment. 0.52

00:15:40.920 Right?

00:15:41.960 I like the way in which the 14th Amendment redeems promises that have been made in the original Constitution but not actually delivered upon.

00:15:48.840 I would agree with you, but I go back to.

00:15:51.820 Everything past really the first 10 amendments are just, no, stupid, listen, this is what we were saying.

00:16:02.040 The first 10 really cover all of it.

00:16:04.740 The other amendments are just like, oh my gosh, do I really have to spell this out?

00:16:08.680 You've just done con law in 30 seconds right there.

00:16:11.220 Right.

00:16:11.920 I mean, it's ridiculous.

00:16:13.560 No, the 14th Amendment, but again, I mean, this idea that fundamentally, you know, whether you're thinking about the Bill of Rights or you're thinking about the 14th Amendment and this idea of a new birth of freedom,

00:16:26.120 the idea is this isn't a game.

00:16:29.800 Like, you and I are meant to disagree on stuff and we are meant to...

00:16:33.860 And it's good that we disagree.

00:16:35.720 It's great to disagree.

00:16:36.460 But we disagree because we both actually believe in ideas and we both love this country.

00:16:43.080 Boy, how...

00:16:44.080 When's the last time you heard somebody like that?

00:16:46.320 It's great.

00:16:47.060 And I'm starting to find them.

00:16:49.120 And it's good.

00:16:50.680 And those are the people who are spitting themselves out of the system.

00:16:53.800 And like, I'm not playing the game anymore.

00:16:55.380 Just not going to do it.

00:16:56.280 And we'll be able to make progress if we can find those people in your own life.

00:17:03.400 You're listening to The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:05.960 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:08.260 I will be my job.

00:17:10.440 I have made my choice.

00:17:12.720 We will overcome.

00:17:15.160 Because we are one.

00:17:28.760 So, Eric Liu was the audio that I just played from last Thursday's television show on The Blaze TV.

00:17:35.400 And it's a fascinating hour.

00:17:37.740 And what he said was, there's a lot of people that are playing the games.

00:17:40.540 He said, but you and I both believe deeply in something.

00:17:44.300 And so we can meet on the battlefield of ideas.

00:17:47.980 The question is, does Kurt Eichenwald believe?

00:17:51.080 I think there are a lot of people that believe this kind of stuff on both sides.

00:17:57.560 He wrote, as one with pre-existing conditions,

00:17:59.900 I hope every GOP-er who voted for Trumpcare sees a family member get long-term condition,

00:18:04.500 lose their insurance, and then die.

00:18:07.300 I want them to be tortured.

00:18:09.220 GOP-ers only gain empathy when they're touched by the consequences.

00:18:14.300 Never before.

00:18:15.960 Now, is that rhetoric?

00:18:17.280 Or is that something that he actually believes?

00:18:19.500 I think it's something that he actually believes.

00:18:24.780 Because they've never reached out and sat down with somebody.

00:18:31.080 They've just seen the caricatures, the cartoons on TV, you know, or in sound bites.

00:18:38.220 They don't necessarily know anyone because they live in their own little bubble.

00:18:43.240 I'll show you the consequences of this in somebody who's standing up, Lawrence Jones.

00:18:48.700 Standing up as a black man for his own community.

00:18:53.060 The white liberals don't like it.

00:18:55.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:59.980 Mercury.

00:19:03.900 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:06.620 Hit it at 8-727-BECK.

00:19:08.680 Welcome to Monday with the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:10.680 You played that great clip from Eric Liu from last week where he is saying,

00:19:15.260 I think everything that every conservative wants to hear about someone who was on the left defending Obama all those years.

00:19:23.200 Now that you're critical of Trump, well, where were you during Obama?

00:19:26.200 And he said, you know what?

00:19:27.940 You're right.

00:19:28.660 I should have been there during Obama and I wasn't.

00:19:31.080 And it's going to be an interesting thing to see play out because I don't want to downplay how difficult that is for someone like Eric Liu to do.

00:19:39.360 It's hard to admit that you were wrong.

00:19:42.260 It's hard to admit that your side was wrong.

00:19:45.260 We did under Obama.

00:19:47.620 About what?

00:19:48.260 And many of people in our audience also did.

00:19:52.720 Yeah.

00:19:53.420 And so, however, that's the easier part of it.

00:19:57.660 Because it's going to take time to see, and I think people rightfully should be skeptical of anyone on the left who's saying now,

00:20:06.700 well, you know what?

00:20:07.800 Trump is doing the wrong thing and I was wrong for Obama.

00:20:10.620 Because it's going to take time until you see a Democrat in office to see the other way.

00:20:15.380 Yeah, because they accused us of only saying that.

00:20:17.900 Oh, you're only saying that because your side.

00:20:20.060 Right, exactly.

00:20:20.540 Not your guy.

00:20:21.280 And we're like, no, we are aware now.

00:20:24.460 Right.

00:20:24.680 We woke up.

00:20:25.320 And we've been critical of Trump for many of these things as well throughout.

00:20:29.540 So it's going to take time for that to actually happen.

00:20:32.360 The ones with real courage will stand.

00:20:35.240 Yeah, and I think, by the way, that's totally fair.

00:20:37.940 It was totally fair of the left to be skeptical of us during the Obama administration.

00:20:43.120 Because it could have been just political lines.

00:20:44.860 In the same way, we should be skeptical of someone like Eric Liu.

00:20:47.780 Right.

00:20:47.960 However, you have to recognize how important that is as a first step to go out there and say, you know what?

00:20:55.280 My side, when they were doing these things, was wrong.

00:20:58.180 I was wrong on that issue.

00:21:01.220 And being able to maintain that when your side regains power is the real test of whether you meant it or not.

00:21:08.660 So one of the guys who is taking a really hard stand, and it's not going to matter who's in office, is Lawrence Jones, who works for The Blaze.

00:21:18.320 And over the weekend, he went on to Fox to eviscerate Wanda Sykes for labeling Obamacare repeal as racist. 0.98

00:21:29.780 She said that on The View.

00:21:33.280 And here is what Lawrence said over the weekend.

00:21:36.440 Yeah.

00:21:36.920 That's it.

00:21:37.560 They hate having a black president, and they want to get rid of it. 1.00

00:21:40.440 That's what it is.

00:21:41.360 Well, I just think it's quite comical that the liberals are so concerned about black America when they have filled my community for years.

00:21:50.160 Especially when it comes to health care.

00:21:51.940 Especially when it comes to jobs.

00:21:53.500 I think it's important to know, Abby, that that 30-hour rule in Obamacare affected my community harshly.

00:22:01.860 A lot of us weren't able to get jobs and couldn't get the necessary hours because of that 30-hour rule.

00:22:10.140 So I think it's really comical that the liberals are all of a sudden concerned about black America.

00:22:15.740 Now, what happened after that?

00:22:19.100 Lawrence Jones is here to tell us.

00:22:21.020 Yeah, so I got a slew of death threats.

00:22:22.440 And a lot of these were white progressives.

00:22:26.120 This one guy said, a white-loving black person that is a traitor to his people, he deserves to be strung up.

00:22:34.160 So a very compassionate white progressive was advocating for lynching.

00:22:41.640 Right.

00:22:42.000 And I finally figured out why they're doing this now.

00:22:44.940 Because it used to be some black folks saying, you know, you're Uncle Tom.

00:22:49.140 And now those people are starting to die out because I've started to really connect with my community.

00:22:53.700 They know I'm banging the left.

00:22:55.180 I'm banging the right.

00:22:56.660 I'm consistent on my belief system.

00:22:58.900 I'm advocating for them.

00:23:00.160 So now they're sending...

00:23:01.140 You used to be a guy who you voted for...

00:23:05.240 You campaigned for Barack Obama.

00:23:07.400 Campaigned for him.

00:23:08.140 When you were a teenager.

00:23:08.860 Got trained by the left, went to D.C., hung around Nancy Pelosi, all of them.

00:23:13.420 And I saw the light.

00:23:15.700 And I didn't go to the Republican Party.

00:23:17.920 I became a conservative libertarian.

00:23:20.160 And now I'm fighting for the issues.

00:23:22.620 I'm not concerned about political parties.

00:23:24.220 It's about the issues.

00:23:25.420 And so it's kind of comical to me to watch the left try to attack me and say, hey, you're a shield for the right.

00:23:31.400 So why do you think they're doing it?

00:23:33.500 Well, because they see me connecting with my community and they have this hold on them right now where they continue to make emotional arguments that the right is racist.

00:23:43.320 And how am I racist?

00:23:45.520 I'm fighting for you.

00:23:46.860 I'm connecting with you.

00:23:48.760 And so they seek to discredit me, say I'm a shield.

00:23:52.700 I'm a sellout.

00:23:53.540 How do you call me a sellout?

00:23:54.740 And you're white. 0.77

00:23:55.880 So it's just comical right now.

00:23:58.640 So what has changed with your community?

00:24:05.620 Are they starting to, are people in the black community starting to say, like you did under Obama, you know, I think both political parties are full of crap.

00:24:20.320 Yeah.

00:24:20.780 I think people are starting to feel it.

00:24:23.820 The paychecks that they're receiving, the loss of health care, jobs leaving America.

00:24:29.800 I think when you have a party that makes everything about emotions and then you look at your bank statement, when you when you're feeling being in poverty, I think it starts to wake you up real quick.

00:24:40.680 And so for a while they were able to survive to survive on President Obama because he was the first black president.

00:24:45.400 And you love the culture.

00:24:46.600 You love seeing somebody that looks like you.

00:24:48.360 But now those days are over.

00:24:49.800 So what do you have now?

00:24:50.900 Can you make things about women or race again?

00:24:54.340 Say Donald Trump hates you when Donald Trump is advocating for a lot of black folks with his new deal for new deal for black America.

00:25:02.040 He's talking about immigration, which a lot of black folks are upset that they prioritize illegal immigrants and give them jobs.

00:25:09.120 And it's hurting the black community.

00:25:11.340 You know, it's really funny because you only hear on the immigration front, you only hear that this is about racism, that whites are racist taking the jobs.

00:25:22.580 But they completely ignore the black community, which is the first to get hit by this for the lower paying jobs.

00:25:31.640 And you don't hear you don't hear anything.

00:25:35.280 Well, this is what you hear.

00:25:36.220 It's called the New Underground Railroad.

00:25:38.460 That's what the left calls this.

00:25:40.120 They call the border control, the slave catchers.

00:25:45.860 And so if there's anything that's I don't think there's anything more offensive to suggest that the experience of illegal immigrants that came here willingly is like slaves that were brought on a slave ship that couldn't go back to their country.

00:25:58.980 Do you hear that, though, from people that are not like you?

00:26:02.360 Oh, yes.

00:26:04.620 And I think that's when the shift started to come, because I put all the left on notice.

00:26:10.060 Maxine Waters.

00:26:11.360 I mean, how can you say the Congressional Black Caucus?

00:26:14.300 How can you say you advocate for the black community and use this type of language?

00:26:18.120 It is contradicting.

00:26:22.120 But I have found so much contradiction over the last 40 years.

00:26:27.700 I mean, you look at you look at the black community and they do not vote their values. 1.00

00:26:34.740 They are in the nineteen.

00:26:36.900 What?

00:26:37.780 Fifties.

00:26:38.780 Traditional.

00:26:39.500 Yes.

00:26:40.020 Traditional.

00:26:40.820 They were the strongest family unit in the country.

00:26:45.120 Now we're told because, you know, slavery broke up families, everything else.

00:26:50.740 No, that's not what did it.

00:26:52.060 They had you guys came together and you made your family stronger.

00:26:58.220 The strongest family unit in the country was the black family unit.

00:27:03.440 And so what's happened?

00:27:06.200 The the left has dismantled and destroyed the community.

00:27:11.260 And I mean, I've heard the stuff, you know, your your traditional values, but you voted against those values for 40 years.

00:27:21.180 I think the right does a terrible job in connecting with the community.

00:27:27.420 I think we have to take some ownership as well.

00:27:29.820 Going to the community, showing up.

00:27:31.200 I think because the black community has voted 90 percent of the time for the left, we don't show up. 0.93

00:27:38.020 And we're just like, OK, it's just not worth it.

00:27:39.480 It's just not worth it.

00:27:40.480 I refuse to give up.

00:27:42.340 I feel like it's my mission.

00:27:43.900 I feel like it's my calling.

00:27:45.380 And if you win two or three, four people a day, I consider that a win.

00:27:50.720 There was a time where I would go on social media and I felt like my community hated me because they didn't feel like I was fighting for them.

00:27:57.140 That's starting to change.

00:27:58.200 You were you were an investigated investigator for Dallas police.

00:28:03.140 Yeah.

00:28:04.140 You've started doing these private invest.

00:28:05.920 You've started to do these investigative pieces now in the blaze.

00:28:12.220 You did one that's caused a lot of controversy recently on medical marijuana.

00:28:18.520 And it is the smartest piece I think I've ever seen on medical marijuana.

00:28:23.620 It's it's it's not about everybody else takes the pot smokers and they take the the angle of, you know, those people who want to get high.

00:28:35.600 Yeah.

00:28:36.040 You actually made it about medicine and you have.

00:28:43.460 I mean, I will tell you.

00:28:46.660 I might even talk to the governor about it today.

00:28:50.680 Hey, my daughter has seizures and they can't make them stop. 0.68

00:28:54.880 And the head of one of the big I don't want to stick him out, but head of one of the big hospitals here in Texas, one of the biggest.

00:29:03.480 And he is the the head guy said, I mean, the first thing, if you can get your hands on it, that I would try would be marijuana oil.

00:29:15.280 Yeah.

00:29:15.780 Which doesn't make you high.

00:29:16.960 You can't buy it here in Texas.

00:29:18.280 I think a lot of people are dealing with the law system and I was a private investigator and worked a lot with Dallas police.

00:29:22.580 I went to the Reserve Academy and I respect the law.

00:29:26.120 But this is medicine for some.

00:29:28.220 And when you get to see my video, you see a guy with cerebral palsy do kickboxing.

00:29:34.620 But what's the difference between that and this and a and a sanctuary city?

00:29:39.060 Obey the law, enforce the law.

00:29:40.680 Right.

00:29:40.900 Well, this is medicine.

00:29:42.020 Well, this is these poor people that, you know, are escaping oppression.

00:29:45.860 I mean, that's why I'm advocating for the state to change the law.

00:29:50.540 Right.

00:29:50.980 And you're seeing a lot of states do it.

00:29:53.960 You're seeing some cities.

00:29:55.180 Dallas just passed the ordinance where if you have below five ounces, they'll just give you a ticket.

00:29:59.500 Yeah.

00:29:59.620 But it's not even that.

00:30:00.660 It's not even change the law for pot.

00:30:03.000 In fact, it is it's it's for medical use is is the real difference.

00:30:09.960 But but my argument is, is that where is the line?

00:30:12.980 Yeah.

00:30:13.220 I know.

00:30:14.120 I know you have a lot of veterans.

00:30:15.140 I know depression.

00:30:16.280 And we're seeing a veteran suicide rate drop when they use it. 0.97

00:30:19.980 It's interesting because, I mean, medical marijuana is not a controversial topic.

00:30:23.600 It's not the polling.

00:30:25.200 Most recent poll on should you be able to use marijuana for medical purposes?

00:30:28.880 Ninety four to five.

00:30:30.040 Of course.

00:30:30.300 I mean, it's not it is not.

00:30:32.460 No, I think the issue here is and you saw this in certainly in California, which is the slippery slope argument has never been more accurate.

00:30:41.360 They tried to pitch it.

00:30:43.300 We need medical marijuana. 0.92

00:30:44.380 We're going to have these dispensaries where they were.

00:30:45.980 And now it's just blatantly, obviously legal.

00:30:48.500 You walk in there and get your card and you get your pot for recreational purposes.

00:30:52.000 Now, I don't personally care, honestly, about recreational use.

00:30:55.180 But still, I can understand the argument because, you know, people say, well, you can have it for medical purposes.

00:31:04.000 Well, it never stays that way.

00:31:06.960 It's just a first step.

00:31:08.320 Right.

00:31:08.680 So it is an interesting debate from that perspective.

00:31:10.600 But I don't see how I don't see how you don't have it legal for medical purposes.

00:31:15.180 It's going to happen.

00:31:15.960 It's going to be legal for recreational purposes.

00:31:18.040 It already is.

00:31:18.760 And how many states?

00:31:19.560 I mean, I was talking to a guy who's dying with cancer yesterday.

00:31:22.200 And he said, have you heard about the mother's breast milk thing going on?

00:31:28.140 I think it's in Sweden or Denmark.

00:31:29.840 And I said, no.

00:31:30.400 And he said, a woman has had this theory for a long time that breast milk could cure cancer.

00:31:36.780 And tried to go in and get people to do research.

00:31:40.460 But because it didn't involve big pharma or big money anywhere, nobody was interested.

00:31:45.440 And finally, she got enough people to back a study.

00:31:51.340 And it's not conclusive.

00:31:56.560 But it shows at least real strong leading indications that breast milk actually goes right to cancer and destroys a lot of the cancer.

00:32:09.720 Wow.

00:32:10.440 And, you know, there's a few of these things.

00:32:14.300 But they're still in progress on that, by the way.

00:32:16.060 Yeah, they're still in progress.

00:32:16.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:17.380 Because I don't know how much.

00:32:17.940 But we are close to things like this.

00:32:21.180 And we've got to get the business side out of the way.

00:32:24.740 And we have to get the FDA side out of the way.

00:32:28.180 And especially when it comes to death, start moving these things along a little faster, perhaps.

00:32:35.040 Lawrence, thank you so much.

00:32:36.000 Lawrence Jones from The Blaze.

00:32:37.260 You can read all about it at theblaze.com.

00:32:40.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:44.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:51.340 Hello, America.

00:32:52.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:54.520 Stu is instantly a skeptic on the breast milk thing.

00:32:57.780 100% skeptic.

00:32:58.920 Without any information.

00:33:01.240 I'm always skeptical of the claim of, well, you know what?

00:33:04.460 Just no, there was no one who cared.

00:33:06.800 They didn't, all they wanted was money.

00:33:08.380 These big companies.

00:33:09.520 And you know what?

00:33:10.480 This one mom decided she was going to cure cancer with paper airplanes. 1.00

00:33:15.180 And no one wanted it because you can't make money off of paper airplanes.

00:33:18.440 I mean, that story is like every...

00:33:21.660 Hang on, hang on.

00:33:22.780 Do you believe the story that...

00:33:25.180 I don't believe that, you know, car companies have kept, you know, the flying car down or

00:33:33.120 the everlasting battery or anything like that.

00:33:36.000 Right.

00:33:36.120 However, I do believe in the story of Tucker.

00:33:40.040 I mean, that's fact where they'll put you out of business if you try to disrupt their

00:33:46.600 assembly line.

00:33:47.580 There's always competition, right?

00:33:48.880 Yeah.

00:33:48.980 I mean, I think though, I think any company that saw the idea, and collusion, it's possible,

00:33:53.880 less likely today than back in the Tucker days.

00:33:56.200 Yes, yes, yes.

00:33:56.560 I think absolutely.

00:33:57.960 It's harder to do.

00:33:59.140 I mean, with the internet and everything, it's almost impossible.

00:34:01.180 Yes.

00:34:01.460 But the idea that companies, first of all, that there's not enough good people who just

00:34:05.900 don't want human beings to die from cancer because they want to enrich themselves.

00:34:10.620 I agree with you.

00:34:11.120 I just don't think it's true.

00:34:12.560 But beyond that, I think they all see it.

00:34:14.680 The profit motive is a good thing.

00:34:15.880 And they do see the benefits of curing cancer financially.

00:34:20.540 I think they actually are motivated by profit.

00:34:22.540 Thank God they are.

00:34:23.740 Yeah.

00:34:23.980 I would agree with that.

00:34:24.920 But I also think that some pharmaceutical companies will hold on some things because

00:34:31.840 they've got another one that needs to run its course.

00:34:33.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:36.560 Mercury.

00:34:51.000 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:34:54.920 On Demand.

00:34:58.800 Greg Abbott last night went on Facebook and signed a new bill into law stopping sanctuary

00:35:09.100 cities.

00:35:10.520 Well, some say the problem is Texas doesn't have any real self-declared sanctuary cities.

00:35:17.180 And how dare him do this on Facebook?

00:35:20.400 What a coward.

00:35:22.500 Or a genius.

00:35:24.380 You decide.

00:35:25.420 Greg Abbott, the governor of the great state of Texas, joins us right now.

00:35:29.020 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:35:50.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:35:56.960 Welcome to the program.

00:35:58.760 Governor Greg Abbott.

00:36:01.140 I think the best governor in the entire United States.

00:36:04.340 Welcome, sir.

00:36:04.860 How are you?

00:36:06.200 Glenn, I'm doing great.

00:36:07.520 Great to visit with you again.

00:36:09.160 Great to have you on.

00:36:10.160 So last night, you go on Facebook and you sign a bill.

00:36:15.020 This is the first time I think anybody has ever done this on Facebook.

00:36:18.820 Why did you choose Facebook to do this?

00:36:21.160 Why did you do it last night?

00:36:22.700 It won't be the last time either.

00:36:24.480 Listen, this is the 21st century.

00:36:26.080 We've seen an evolution with regard to digital media, with regard to the way that elected officials are communicating directly with their constituents.

00:36:34.980 We saw it first with what Barack Obama did with digital media.

00:36:38.600 We saw what happened in the Trump campaign.

00:36:40.880 And now this is the next step.

00:36:42.820 Listen, I have more than a million viewers.

00:36:45.180 And it's important that I be able to connect directly with them unfiltered through other media.

00:36:51.600 Obviously, other media across the entire country has picked this up and spread the story, which we are proud that they did.

00:36:58.940 But you can expect going forward, there'll be many more ways in which we are communicating directly with the people who are our citizens,

00:37:07.660 the people that I have to answer to every single day.

00:37:11.060 I have to tell you, Governor, I'd love to spend some more time talking to you about that.

00:37:16.200 I think that is great.

00:37:17.760 But I know that we are living in, everybody knows, we're living in a time now where you don't need a middleman anymore.

00:37:24.180 And it will change things.

00:37:25.960 And I'd love to talk about the ramifications of that if we have more time.

00:37:29.360 But let me go to what you signed.

00:37:33.320 Texas doesn't have any self-declared sanctuary city.

00:37:38.300 And the Trump administration is having a hard time defining what a sanctuary city is.

00:37:45.660 So what did you sign in last night?

00:37:47.760 Well, first, let's talk about terminology.

00:37:50.440 Then if you don't mind, let me correct you a tiny bit.

00:37:53.060 Sure.

00:37:53.660 A synonym of a sanctuary city is an outlaw city.

00:37:59.140 It is a city or county that refuses to follow the law.

00:38:03.880 And in the state of Texas, it is my opinion that we do have a self-declared sanctuary city in Travis County.

00:38:11.380 For your listeners, Travis County is the county in which Austin, Texas is located.

00:38:15.900 And the sheriff of Travis County has a written policy that is tangible for anybody to put their hands on that says that Travis County is not going to comply with ICE detainer request.

00:38:28.060 In fact, the Travis County policy is such that if a person who is in the United States illegally

00:38:34.120 and has either committed or been accused of a very violent crime such as sexual assault, sexual assault of a minor, armed robbery, working in conspiracy with the drug cartels, any of those crimes and far more,

00:38:47.160 the sheriff of Travis County, who is responsible for upholding the law and keeping our citizens safe,

00:38:54.160 is going to release them even if the federal government has a request to hold them for the federal government to come and take them.

00:39:02.460 That, I think, is the quintessential definition of a sanctuary city.

00:39:06.980 Travis County is the target and subject of this law that I signed last night.

00:39:11.840 Okay, so now, what happens to Sheriff Fernandez?

00:39:16.240 What happens to, I mean, Dallas is also a city that kind of plays games with sanctuary.

00:39:25.280 What happens to these counties, these cities?

00:39:29.080 The new Texas law imposes very serious penalties.

00:39:33.280 One is going to be fines that can add up to $25,000 per day.

00:39:38.940 Two is that these officials, let's say in this case, the Travis County Sheriff, can be subject to forced removal from office by the Texas Attorney General.

00:39:49.020 Three is these officials can be subject to jail time if they have sanctuary city policies or if they refuse to comply with the ICE detainer requests.

00:39:59.660 Excuse my ignorance on this, but I remember hearing this a long time ago, and it may be complete bunk,

00:40:06.080 that the sheriff is the only one that actually answers directly to the people.

00:40:11.180 Police officers, police commissioners, et cetera, et cetera, don't.

00:40:14.700 But this is a separate office that doesn't really answer to any chain of command.

00:40:22.260 Is that true or not?

00:40:23.760 Correct in this regard, and that is police officers are not elected by the people.

00:40:28.660 Well, sheriffs are elected by the people.

00:40:32.140 That said, sheriffs are one of the county officials who have to work in conjunction with county governance,

00:40:39.420 which in the state of Texas, the leader of county government is called the county judge,

00:40:43.580 and then there's a county commissioner's court that the sheriff must work with.

00:40:47.840 It's the county commissioner's court that sets the budget for the sheriff.

00:40:50.740 How do you respond to people who are saying this is going to terrorize the Latino community?

00:40:59.240 Well, first, let's be clear about something, and that is that just because someone is here illegally

00:41:06.300 doesn't at all mean that they are Hispanic.

00:41:08.620 Remember this, Glenn, and that is more than half of the people who have been coming across their border illegally this past year

00:41:13.480 are not from Mexico.

00:41:14.580 They're coming from across the entire world.

00:41:16.540 So that part of the thesis is wrong.

00:41:19.000 Second is that Texas is an open and welcoming state.

00:41:22.900 In fact, even before Texas was Texas, we've been a blend of Anglo and Hispanic culture.

00:41:29.140 And as you know, my wife is the first Hispanic first lady, and so we are very supportive and open to immigration.

00:41:37.640 People get this wrong in the terminology.

00:41:40.100 They say that laws like this are anti-immigrant.

00:41:42.560 That's absolutely not true.

00:41:44.120 We're very pro-immigration.

00:41:45.660 The only people who are subject to being apprehended under this new law are people who are here illegally 1.00

00:41:53.640 who have committed a crime that ICE has caused them to put on their detainer list.

00:42:00.580 If you are here and you've committed no crime whatsoever, you're never even going to be subject to this

00:42:05.660 because ICE will not have you on their detainer list.

00:42:07.880 So, Governor, here's one thing that I think that I can't solve in my own head.

00:42:14.520 And I know you're a compassionate man, and I know this has had to cross your mind.

00:42:21.820 There are those people who are here illegally who are good, decent people and whatever their situation is, yada, yada, yada.

00:42:31.640 But somehow or another, a bad guy gets into their life and is abusing them, beating them, raping them, whatever.

00:42:41.560 And if they fear that they are going to be, you know, sent back home and something's going to happen to them

00:42:52.040 or they just don't want to be on anybody's radar because they're pretty invisible,

00:42:56.040 they won't say anything about that.

00:42:58.800 And crime could go through, really horrible kinds of crime could go through the roof in those communities.

00:43:05.860 How do you solve that, and do you believe that's true?

00:43:09.520 We solve that in this law because we put specific exceptions in this law.

00:43:15.360 If you are a victim of a crime, if you are a witness to a crime,

00:43:20.660 you will not be asked about your immigration status if you report that crime.

00:43:25.180 We wanted to make sure that those people would be accepted from these provisions.

00:43:30.200 Now, they're calling this the papers, please, Bill, but that's not what this does.

00:43:36.160 You don't ask for papers if somebody's on a routine stop, right?

00:43:40.440 I mean, you're absolutely correct.

00:43:42.580 Let me be very clear about this because a lot of critics misconstrue this as being the Arizona law.

00:43:49.680 In the Arizona law that was reviewed by the United States Supreme Court,

00:43:55.400 they specifically, quote, required law enforcement officers to ask about immigration status.

00:44:02.460 First, I will tell you that part of the law was upheld by the United States Supreme Court,

00:44:08.540 even the liberals on the United States Supreme Court.

00:44:11.540 The Texas law does not make that requirement.

00:44:13.720 What the Texas law does is it allows but does not require law enforcement to ask about immigration status.

00:44:21.280 Let me explain to you why.

00:44:22.940 And that is when a police officer pulls over somebody, let's say in a car,

00:44:28.340 and they do it for driving too fast, whatever the violation may be.

00:44:33.200 Let's say they walk up to the car and they look in the car,

00:44:36.340 and the person in the car has tattoos on them that clearly indicates they are a member of MS-13,

00:44:42.140 which, by the way, is growing in number in the state of Texas.

00:44:46.360 It would be right for the police officer to ask that MS-13 member,

00:44:50.720 are you here in the United States legally?

00:44:53.620 And so it allows them in situations where this person could be the subject of an ICE detainter request,

00:45:01.280 which an MS-13 gang member most likely would be, to make that inquiry.

00:45:06.220 But it simply and absolutely does not require law enforcement officers to ask about immigration status.

00:45:13.700 Anybody who says otherwise either doesn't know the law or they are misrepresenting the law.

00:45:19.560 Governor, what do you think about the progress that,

00:45:22.840 and I don't want to get this into a Trump thing,

00:45:25.240 about the progress of illegal immigration and the border wall, etc., etc.,

00:45:32.540 with this administration without, because I don't want to put you in the middle of something here,

00:45:38.840 are we moving the way we should be, or have we surrendered this?

00:45:46.360 Well, we've had a problem for decades now with regard to the legal immigration process.

00:45:55.040 We have a completely flawed immigration system that must be fixed. 1.00

00:46:00.980 And nothing has been done in the last few administrations,

00:46:04.340 and nothing has yet been done under the current administration to fix our immigration process.

00:46:10.220 Let's be clear about this.

00:46:12.200 Texas, and I think America, strongly supports a robust legal immigration system.

00:46:18.700 What must be done is we must implement reforms that overhaul our legal immigration system

00:46:25.540 and couple that with strict enforcement against illegal immigration.

00:46:31.500 I said a few years ago that what President Obama was doing was sending a message all around the world.

00:46:40.060 Come in.

00:46:40.660 We're not going to enforce our own laws.

00:46:42.260 And if I lived across the border in poverty, in a drug-ridden,

00:46:46.500 if I lived in a place where I knew my kids had no future,

00:46:50.280 and the President of the United States was saying,

00:46:52.320 we're not going to enforce this, and if you get here, you're going to be here forever,

00:46:55.740 I would absolutely take my kids across this border for the promise of America.

00:47:01.040 And I said at the time, a lot of this is our fault

00:47:05.960 because we're telling them we don't care about this law.

00:47:10.260 And if you are in their situation, you're going to roll the dice for a piece of this.

00:47:17.020 Is it true?

00:47:18.100 You're right.

00:47:18.760 Barack Obama's approach to border security was the Olay system,

00:47:23.060 such as the matador saying Olay to the bull charging at them,

00:47:27.820 and just let them on through.

00:47:29.940 But remember this, Glenn, and that is,

00:47:32.720 why is it that so many people want to come to America

00:47:37.000 as opposed to, let's say, go to Venezuela or some other place?

00:47:39.960 The reason is because the United States of America,

00:47:43.420 more than any other country in the entire world,

00:47:46.020 is a nation of laws.

00:47:48.340 And it is imperative that we as a people

00:47:51.440 continue to ensure that America remains a nation of laws

00:47:54.800 so that we will be the aspiration for people around the entire globe.

00:47:59.400 Has our immigration here in Texas, our illegal immigration,

00:48:03.280 have you seen a decline in it?

00:48:04.560 There actually has been a decline during this calendar year,

00:48:10.940 a very meaningful decline during this calendar year,

00:48:13.560 where people who are coming across the border illegally

00:48:16.540 has shrunk dramatically.

00:48:19.600 In this last calendar year, before the one we're in right now,

00:48:22.700 there were more or about 1,000 people crossing the border a day.

00:48:27.320 And now that has shrunk dramatically compared to where it was before.

00:48:31.920 But we'll need to see, because as most people know,

00:48:34.680 the increase in cross-border activity typically increases

00:48:37.980 during the May, June, and July months.

00:48:40.240 Have we moved our border agents closer to the border since Obama?

00:48:45.640 I mean, there was this huge gap for a long time.

00:48:49.320 You're exactly right.

00:48:50.340 If you're going to secure the border,

00:48:52.280 the best place to secure the border is at the border.

00:48:55.640 One of the policies of the Obama administration

00:48:58.600 was to remove more into the interior the border security operations

00:49:03.780 so that people would have already crossed the border.

00:49:06.380 And it simply made no sense whatsoever.

00:49:08.020 And so, yes, one of the changes is to move border security closer to the border.

00:49:13.380 Another is to increase and enhance border security efforts.

00:49:16.820 But that is something that the state of Texas is also doing.

00:49:19.980 We're about to close out our new budget here in the coming weeks

00:49:22.740 where we continue to add more money from the state of Texas to secure the border

00:49:27.680 because it is important that we be a state as well as a nation of laws.

00:49:33.160 We welcome people here who want to immigrate to the United States legally,

00:49:37.060 but we want to make sure that if there's anybody who's not following the law,

00:49:43.080 the law will be enforced.

00:49:44.400 I would love to have you back.

00:49:45.460 We're running out of time.

00:49:46.180 I'd love to have you back and talk a little bit about the culture of Texas

00:49:49.900 and how or if we're doing anything to protect the culture of Texas.

00:49:54.640 It's one of the only states left that has or almost, I can almost say,

00:49:59.900 had a unique culture.

00:50:03.140 And it's really being destroyed.

00:50:05.640 And not intentionally or anything like that.

00:50:08.980 It's just because this massive influx from people all over the world

00:50:13.840 and the country who were creating jobs here

00:50:16.420 and what we're doing to protect that.

00:50:18.380 But let me leave you with just this one question here.

00:50:22.600 Have we signed on now officially to the Convention of States?

00:50:27.380 Yes.

00:50:29.140 As of last week, Texas became the 11th state to sign on to the Convention of States.

00:50:36.140 And Texas will be in the vanguard of leading that effort.

00:50:39.340 Now that Texas passed it, I think many more states will come behind us.

00:50:42.740 This is a common-sense opportunity to return power to the people

00:50:47.280 away from the entrenched forces in Washington, D.C.

00:50:50.700 I have to tell you, I think you are the best governor in the country right now.

00:50:55.540 That's pretty easy to say.

00:50:57.100 But the best governor I think I have ever lived under.

00:51:00.140 And we're big supporters.

00:51:02.380 Greg Abbott, thank you so much, sir.

00:51:04.380 Thank you, Glenn.

00:51:05.080 You bet.

00:51:05.860 Great, great leader.

00:51:08.020 As you heard, very well reasoned.

00:51:10.080 Doesn't get into hyperbole or name-calling.

00:51:13.720 He just does it.

00:51:15.300 Love him.

00:51:18.040 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:22.060 Mercury.

00:51:25.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:30.460 Mercury One is standing together today at Victory Plaza.

00:51:35.020 That's here in Dallas, Texas.

00:51:36.980 Veteran causes are really close to our heart, your heart, and the heart of Mercury One.

00:51:42.700 And we are proud to continue our support.

00:51:45.220 In this event, we're asking that you would donate directly to the cause through mercuryone.org.

00:51:52.120 We have a page of Folds of Honor.

00:51:55.280 It's an amazing thing where we've asked people to go and volunteer their time to stand for 13 minutes in the shoes of honor.

00:52:05.960 The shoes, the boot prints of the fallen.

00:52:09.100 It's happening down at Victory Plaza.

00:52:11.380 You can watch it happen live on Facebook at Mercury One's Facebook page.

00:52:17.060 And please donate, even if it's a buck, to help our veterans.

00:52:21.140 MercuryOne.org.

00:52:22.740 Do it now.

00:52:23.240 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:27.900 Mercury.

00:52:31.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:52:35.640 Good news and bad news.

00:52:36.900 The French have spoken.

00:52:38.640 And this is the good news.

00:52:39.780 Emmanuel Macron is the new president of France.

00:52:43.660 He didn't just beat Marine Le Pen.

00:52:46.360 He destroyed her 66% to 34%.

00:52:50.800 It was the largest margin of victory since Jacques Chirac beat out her father in 2002.

00:52:55.740 Everything went really pretty much exactly as expected.

00:52:58.860 Hours before the polls opened, Macron was predicted to take a 30-point lead.

00:53:06.740 It ended up in being just slightly more than that.

00:53:12.460 Pollsters are right more often than that is noticed, right?

00:53:16.400 Yeah.

00:53:16.520 I mean, a lot of times, everyone likes to point out the times that they're wrong, but they're

00:53:19.580 right a lot.

00:53:20.240 Now, here's why this is interesting.

00:53:23.640 This is the first time I've ever paid attention to the French president.

00:53:28.280 I mean, right?

00:53:29.300 Have you ever cared?

00:53:31.000 I mean, I don't know that I...

00:53:32.700 Jacques Chirac is the last one.

00:53:34.500 Right.

00:53:34.720 Because, I mean, the Le Pen election in 2002, we paid attention to, we talked about on the

00:53:38.920 air back in the day.

00:53:40.040 But, you know, that's really, it's only been that movement.

00:53:43.580 Yeah.

00:53:43.840 I've never really paid attention to it.

00:53:46.220 I know one of them had a model, a really hot model wife. 1.00

00:53:50.060 That's all I know.

00:53:50.960 And, you know, if our system was working right, that would be really all that the rest of the

00:53:56.180 world would know about our president.

00:53:57.540 He's got a hot model wife. 0.94

00:54:00.020 Didn't really pay attention to France.

00:54:02.300 Paid a lot of attention to France.

00:54:04.000 This was really important.

00:54:06.160 Would you agree with that?

00:54:07.560 Yeah.

00:54:07.860 Oh, absolutely.

00:54:08.160 For the direction of France and the rest of the world. 0.86

00:54:12.540 Get this.

00:54:13.860 Turnout for this election, historic low.

00:54:19.180 The lowest percentage since 1969.

00:54:23.600 Of the 47 million registered voters in France, 11.4 million chose to sit this one out.

00:54:30.640 That is more people abstaining and staying home than voted for Le Pen.

00:54:37.980 So what was the turnout percentage?

00:54:39.400 Do they have that in that article?

00:54:42.020 No.

00:54:43.500 47 million.

00:54:44.380 You can do the math.

00:54:45.040 47 million.

00:54:45.800 11 million chose to sit it out.

00:54:50.020 This is the most successful election Le Pen's National Front has ever had.

00:54:54.320 They've never been more popular since 2002.

00:54:58.740 They've doubled their base of support.

00:55:01.640 He got, I think, about 18% last time.

00:55:04.620 He got 17.8% in his election in 2002.

00:55:10.640 I mean, she's improved that over the years.

00:55:13.480 This is not just a jump from 18 to this.

00:55:15.480 But 33% is still, again, losing by 30.

00:55:18.760 And as much as this is an increase, they're actually going to change the name of the party, reportedly.

00:55:23.460 Yeah.

00:55:23.980 They can't win like this.

00:55:25.300 Right, because they're just too tied to their father.

00:55:27.680 And that's good.

00:55:28.380 I mean, that's good that everybody knows who they are.

00:55:32.260 But now they're going to try to cover up some of this stuff.

00:55:35.200 So the French people had two choices.

00:55:39.200 Delay the coming storm and maintain the status quo, which is probably what, well, definitely what I would have voted for.

00:55:46.840 Or, or I probably would have set it out because I wouldn't have liked either candidate.

00:55:52.180 Or given into the old world, you know, European nationalism.

00:55:56.580 Right.

00:55:56.760 That was their choice.

00:55:58.040 They didn't have a good option.

00:56:00.100 And what they did was delay the inevitable.

00:56:02.520 The status quo is what got them to this place in the first place.

00:56:08.440 And so they've just sealed their fate for another five years.

00:56:11.560 Now, here is what is really fascinating.

00:56:13.760 The Russians know this, I think, better than anybody else.

00:56:19.920 A couple of hours before France entered their 48-hour media blackout, before the election,

00:56:27.240 a massive leak of Macron's campaign and financial dirty laundry hit the internet.

00:56:32.920 Now, why would you do it just before the media blackout?

00:56:35.940 Because you would know that no media is going to be able to pick this up.

00:56:42.840 So you'll only have the internet.

00:56:45.280 And that could work to your advantage or disadvantage.

00:56:48.540 But you'd only have the internet.

00:56:50.620 The way to really affect it would be to release it a little bit earlier.

00:56:55.220 Perhaps.

00:56:56.100 Perhaps.

00:56:57.020 Well, they thought that the media would fight back against it.

00:56:59.700 So they had no opposition here because of the ban.

00:57:02.040 Perhaps.

00:57:02.880 At least I think that was their theory.

00:57:05.480 Perhaps it was their theory.

00:57:07.380 So, 48 hours before, France has a media blackout.

00:57:12.200 Nobody can say anything about the election or anything.

00:57:16.980 And they released this.

00:57:18.640 Now, it was almost a carbon copy of the DNC Podesta hack.

00:57:25.020 Investigators over in France have traced it back.

00:57:29.920 Exactly the same group.

00:57:32.080 Fancy Bear, who's a surrogate for the Russian military intelligence.

00:57:37.100 Why wouldn't you hide that?

00:57:40.240 Why would you use the same people, the same DNS?

00:57:44.280 Why?

00:57:46.960 Why would you do it so late in the game?

00:57:48.780 Perhaps, as Stu said, it is because they wouldn't have any opposition.

00:57:54.620 But I believe it's because they knew, just like the rest of the pollsters,

00:57:59.620 that there was a massive trouncing coming to Le Pen, no matter what.

00:58:05.420 And 11.4 million people are probably going to sit out.

00:58:11.580 Can we lead to more people sitting out and being disenfranchised and just saying,

00:58:17.600 I don't care who wins anymore?

00:58:19.360 Not to help Le Pen win, but to add to the discontent.

00:58:24.960 Releasing the information pours gasoline on a bonfire.

00:58:29.620 The French already feel like, I've got to settle for the status quo. 1.00

00:58:34.740 But now this guy's coming in, he's facing a lame duck five-year presidency.

00:58:39.380 The French and the global media are going to have a field day now,

00:58:44.440 exposing Macron and his party's dirty secrets.

00:58:47.300 You'll notice, did you hear much fanfare that the Clinton Global Initiative closed on April 15th?

00:58:53.940 Yeah, right? Right? Look that up.

00:58:56.700 This would be the time you'd want to turn it on, right?

00:58:58.480 Right. Look that up.

00:59:00.520 They had problems with donations, apparently.

00:59:04.280 Apparently, all of the big countries, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar and everybody else,

00:59:09.800 they decided that they didn't want to do any more goodwill.

00:59:14.200 Or, they decided there was no access to be purchased.

00:59:22.020 It's not shutting down.

00:59:23.880 I think what you're referring to is a report that they were downsizing.

00:59:30.120 Right.

00:59:31.080 Which you'd think would be the opposite.

00:59:32.620 Would be the opposite.

00:59:33.620 You're now out of...

00:59:35.180 The worry about the elections.

00:59:37.340 How can the Clinton Foundation make this move and nobody notice?

00:59:43.180 Nobody in the press is even noticing about their donations from these countries.

00:59:48.420 That they're starting to dry up.

00:59:52.480 Kind of interesting.

00:59:54.400 If she were president, I can guarantee you,

00:59:59.360 WikiLeaks would be exposing all kinds of things.

01:00:02.800 And I believe the Russians will eventually expose Trump for all kinds of things as well.

01:00:09.600 Why?

01:00:10.460 What do they want?

01:00:12.240 They want public distrust and angst.

01:00:15.320 That's what they want.

01:00:16.640 If Hillary Clinton would have won, 1.00

01:00:20.940 I think they would have done the same thing here.

01:00:23.240 The hacks would have kept coming.

01:00:24.780 Because they're playing the long game.

01:00:27.600 The leftists, the Islamists, the alt-right are playing that game as well.

01:00:32.640 What do they want?

01:00:34.020 An insurrection.

01:00:35.880 They want to burn the whole thing down.

01:00:40.060 France just took a massive step

01:00:42.900 toward burning the whole thing down.

01:00:45.320 And one more thought on this.

01:00:48.360 Next,

01:00:49.620 the Czech Republic.

01:00:54.420 The Czech Republic is taking in refugees and they oppose it.

01:01:00.100 A poll a couple of years ago found that

01:01:01.960 94% of the Czech Republic

01:01:05.080 favor closing the borders completely.

01:01:07.920 They're not.

01:01:11.020 They're standing by the EU.

01:01:12.560 What are the people doing?

01:01:14.080 They're starting to become anti-immigrant.

01:01:17.420 Germany is also becoming hostile to the EU.

01:01:22.520 What is happening around the world

01:01:24.620 is that people feel,

01:01:27.500 and see if you feel this way,

01:01:30.140 nobody's listening to me.

01:01:31.120 Nobody is,

01:01:33.740 I'm not a xenophobe,

01:01:35.320 I'm not a racist,

01:01:36.720 I'm not any of these things.

01:01:39.160 But guys,

01:01:40.060 we have got to protect

01:01:41.280 and know who is coming in.

01:01:45.060 I want the best and the brightest to come in.

01:01:47.680 And I also will take those

01:01:49.420 from war-torn countries,

01:01:51.220 but I want to make sure,

01:01:52.480 just like we would have done in Germany, 0.68

01:01:54.620 I want to make sure they're not Nazis.

01:01:57.920 I want to make sure

01:01:58.860 they're not actual enemies

01:02:00.480 of the United States.

01:02:03.500 Nobody's listening to me

01:02:04.700 about my job and my pay,

01:02:06.800 and they're playing games with healthcare,

01:02:09.200 and they've promised us one thing,

01:02:11.440 and our healthcare costs as a family

01:02:13.740 went through the roof.

01:02:15.240 And I couldn't keep my doctor.

01:02:17.920 I don't even know what's happening.

01:02:19.580 I don't know if I'm going to be able

01:02:20.760 to get insurance anymore.

01:02:22.240 And then the right does it,

01:02:24.000 and the right was lying to us,

01:02:26.380 the GOP.

01:02:27.620 Is somebody listening to me?

01:02:30.140 The answer is no,

01:02:32.160 far too often times.

01:02:35.980 Nobody's listening to me.

01:02:37.660 I have no levers to pull.

01:02:40.020 There's nothing I can do

01:02:41.260 to get somebody to turn around

01:02:42.840 and listen to me.

01:02:44.040 I can't affect change.

01:02:46.520 I can't even control my own life.

01:02:48.560 And I don't recognize this anymore.

01:02:55.420 I don't feel like I belong

01:02:56.920 even to polite society.

01:03:01.260 It was one thing when I said,

01:03:02.880 you know,

01:03:03.140 I don't really recognize my country,

01:03:04.940 and the left laughed.

01:03:06.480 And now the left is saying,

01:03:07.820 I don't recognize my country,

01:03:09.240 and the right is laughing.

01:03:11.100 I'm not laughing.

01:03:12.080 I didn't laugh then.

01:03:12.820 I'm not laughing now.

01:03:14.440 I don't recognize my country.

01:03:16.280 But more importantly,

01:03:17.320 I don't recognize the truth

01:03:18.820 in anything.

01:03:22.060 I mean,

01:03:22.620 they're now expecting me

01:03:23.540 to believe

01:03:24.200 that a man can say 0.99

01:03:25.660 he's a woman.

01:03:26.520 Just say it.

01:03:27.700 I'm identifying as a woman,

01:03:29.160 and I have to accept that?

01:03:31.560 That a woman 0.98

01:03:32.520 can identify

01:03:33.640 as a black person,

01:03:35.660 and blacks 0.96

01:03:37.160 have to accept that?

01:03:38.320 I don't even recognize

01:03:42.520 the truth anymore.

01:03:45.460 And I know the rich

01:03:46.580 are getting richer.

01:03:47.960 And I've never been a guy

01:03:49.320 who's had a problem

01:03:50.100 with rich getting rich.

01:03:51.600 The reason why I have

01:03:53.060 a problem with rich

01:03:53.900 getting rich now

01:03:54.740 is because far too many times

01:03:57.840 it's because they have access

01:03:59.900 to banks and loans

01:04:02.100 and interest rates

01:04:03.200 that I could never

01:04:04.820 get my hands on.

01:04:06.880 Or they have enough

01:04:08.200 lobbyists

01:04:09.080 to rig the game

01:04:10.920 their way.

01:04:12.560 That's not fair.

01:04:16.560 And they're telling me

01:04:18.000 that I can't hold sacred

01:04:20.980 the things I have always

01:04:22.600 held sacred.

01:04:23.620 Things about God.

01:04:25.400 Things about my country.

01:04:27.760 I'm told that that

01:04:28.760 has no meaning.

01:04:29.880 Or if it does have meaning,

01:04:31.120 it's all bad meaning.

01:04:33.720 That's how people are feeling.

01:04:38.200 And when you increase

01:04:39.860 the stress

01:04:40.660 of money,

01:04:43.020 when you increase

01:04:44.260 the stress

01:04:44.940 of losing a job,

01:04:46.680 not being able

01:04:47.340 to make ends meet,

01:04:48.920 people will listen

01:04:51.900 to anybody

01:04:52.620 who says,

01:04:53.600 I've got a plan.

01:04:55.780 It's those people

01:04:56.820 over there.

01:04:57.660 We just get rid

01:04:58.340 of those people.

01:04:59.380 Whoever they are,

01:05:00.240 left, right,

01:05:01.200 in the middle,

01:05:01.760 doesn't matter.

01:05:03.140 Atheist, Christian,

01:05:04.860 Muslim, Hindu,

01:05:05.780 doesn't matter.

01:05:09.100 People will round

01:05:10.160 people up

01:05:10.720 when they're afraid.

01:05:13.920 Thank God

01:05:15.440 the French

01:05:16.560 rejected

01:05:17.420 that kind of thinking

01:05:18.560 this weekend.

01:05:20.200 But unfortunately,

01:05:21.700 as the press

01:05:22.580 celebrates,

01:05:23.740 because the press

01:05:24.380 doesn't get it,

01:05:25.880 it's not that

01:05:26.480 they're intentionally,

01:05:27.940 they just

01:05:28.640 don't get it.

01:05:30.660 They don't hear you.

01:05:32.940 They don't hear Europe.

01:05:34.340 And because

01:05:36.960 they don't hear,

01:05:38.740 they celebrate.

01:05:40.100 Ooh,

01:05:40.760 dodged a bullet there.

01:05:42.420 Victory for us.

01:05:43.740 France isn't as racist

01:05:45.000 as America.

01:05:46.700 No.

01:05:48.480 No,

01:05:49.140 you really don't get it.

01:05:50.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:56.300 Mercury.

01:06:00.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:03.200 888-727-BECK.

01:06:05.360 So here's something

01:06:06.020 that's really interesting

01:06:06.820 to me.

01:06:07.520 Did you guys see

01:06:07.980 over the weekend

01:06:08.560 the

01:06:09.260 automatic

01:06:12.460 self-driving

01:06:14.380 space shuttle

01:06:16.040 that we have?

01:06:17.400 You know we have one.

01:06:18.660 Drives itself,

01:06:19.300 no pilots necessary.

01:06:21.320 Yeah,

01:06:21.560 I didn't know that either.

01:06:23.300 It's been up in space

01:06:24.580 for

01:06:25.300 two years now

01:06:26.980 on a secret mission.

01:06:29.240 Like,

01:06:29.540 no one knows

01:06:30.640 what it was doing

01:06:31.480 up there

01:06:31.900 for two years.

01:06:33.600 Yeah,

01:06:33.720 we talked about that

01:06:34.360 a little bit ago.

01:06:35.200 Yeah,

01:06:35.540 yeah,

01:06:35.740 yeah.

01:06:35.980 It just came out

01:06:36.840 that it was coming back.

01:06:37.960 It landed

01:06:38.820 by itself

01:06:40.200 without a pilot.

01:06:42.380 It landed

01:06:43.460 over the weekend.

01:06:46.780 Impressive.

01:06:47.580 A little bit.

01:06:48.520 A little bit.

01:06:49.800 Kind of one of those

01:06:50.600 things.

01:06:50.780 Did it land where it was supposed to?

01:06:51.780 Yeah.

01:06:52.080 Or did it just come down?

01:06:53.140 Right.

01:06:53.500 No,

01:06:53.700 no,

01:06:53.800 no.

01:06:53.980 It landed where it's supposed to.

01:06:55.500 No,

01:06:55.740 yeah,

01:06:55.940 it landed in my driveway.

01:06:57.840 When I open up an app

01:06:59.420 and I see Uber Shuttle,

01:07:00.640 I will be,

01:07:01.200 that's when I will be impressed.

01:07:02.120 Thank you.

01:07:02.340 Okay,

01:07:02.700 when you get me to work faster.

01:07:04.180 Right.

01:07:04.480 But is that not incredible?

01:07:06.260 No,

01:07:06.460 that's,

01:07:06.800 if that's not an example of,

01:07:08.600 what the hell do they have

01:07:09.540 that we don't know?

01:07:10.360 I know.

01:07:10.600 I mean,

01:07:11.360 they put a self-driving

01:07:13.680 space shuttle up.

01:07:16.060 It looks just like the space shuttle

01:07:17.860 except no windows or anything.

01:07:19.340 Self-driving space shuttle up.

01:07:21.320 Nobody's in there,

01:07:21.820 you really don't need windows.

01:07:22.640 Right.

01:07:23.620 For two years,

01:07:25.780 doing some sort of secret mission,

01:07:27.280 we have absolutely no idea.

01:07:29.740 And we're down here going,

01:07:31.260 wow,

01:07:31.560 look at,

01:07:32.000 my car can kind of drive itself.

01:07:34.220 Yeah,

01:07:34.540 we got a space shuttle up

01:07:35.920 that's driving itself right now.

01:07:37.580 And returning to Earth safely.

01:07:41.180 No people on board.

01:07:43.280 Incredible.

01:07:44.480 Absolutely incredible.

01:07:47.400 And yet,

01:07:48.400 it's a blip in the news.

01:07:50.900 Nobody even recognizes

01:07:52.900 the giant leaps for mankind we've made.

01:07:56.080 Glenn Beck.

01:07:58.600 Mercury.

01:08:07.580 The Blaze Radio Network.

01:08:18.560 On demand.

01:08:21.960 Hello,

01:08:22.480 America.

01:08:23.080 I want to talk to you about

01:08:24.560 the wealthiest 1%.

01:08:26.700 You know,

01:08:27.220 the evil wealthy 1%.

01:08:28.560 I want to talk to you

01:08:29.700 about the difference between

01:08:31.040 ownership and stewardship.

01:08:33.100 I want to talk to you about

01:08:36.300 a time of profound change

01:08:38.960 in the world's thinking.

01:08:41.160 We begin there right now.

01:08:42.420 I will make a stand.

01:08:45.820 I will raise my voice.

01:08:48.000 I will hold your hand.

01:08:50.420 Because we are one.

01:08:52.220 I will beat my drum.

01:08:54.460 I have made my choice.

01:08:56.720 We will overcome.

01:08:59.000 Because we are one.

01:09:00.780 The fusion of entertainment

01:09:02.800 and enlightenment.

01:09:04.880 This is

01:09:05.540 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:09:12.840 I'm going through...

01:09:14.440 I'm going through a really good

01:09:17.180 phase in my life

01:09:19.040 that I think

01:09:19.760 anybody who is...

01:09:22.040 tries to stay connected to

01:09:23.740 a higher power,

01:09:26.220 you know,

01:09:26.480 you just know when you're in sync

01:09:28.120 and when you're out.

01:09:29.200 and I've been

01:09:30.960 really struggling

01:09:31.880 to get back

01:09:33.020 into deep sync.

01:09:35.480 And

01:09:35.720 about four years ago

01:09:38.060 I thought,

01:09:38.520 man,

01:09:38.680 I wish I could just

01:09:39.640 start all over again

01:09:41.560 because

01:09:42.640 things had started

01:09:45.740 to back up on me

01:09:47.980 and just,

01:09:48.500 you know,

01:09:48.720 you start with a clean slate.

01:09:51.100 It's so easy.

01:09:53.740 And I think

01:09:54.680 I'm going through

01:09:55.980 a place

01:09:56.480 that I'm breaking through

01:09:58.120 and I want to share this

01:09:58.980 because I think

01:10:00.200 there are a lot of people

01:10:01.740 that are feeling

01:10:02.480 the same way

01:10:03.360 I do

01:10:04.900 right now.

01:10:06.040 Perhaps not.

01:10:08.000 Let me start with this.

01:10:09.000 What's the difference

01:10:09.500 between ownership

01:10:10.720 and stewardship?

01:10:12.240 For instance,

01:10:13.140 I own my iPad

01:10:14.140 because I,

01:10:15.440 well,

01:10:15.580 I bought it.

01:10:16.100 I paid for it.

01:10:17.060 I worked for it.

01:10:18.900 And you know what?

01:10:20.880 Man made it.

01:10:22.160 It's not a God thing.

01:10:23.040 Man made it.

01:10:23.660 All true,

01:10:25.300 but in the real world,

01:10:27.440 absolutely not true.

01:10:28.840 I don't own it.

01:10:33.560 We didn't make this.

01:10:35.700 If it weren't

01:10:36.500 for the rare earth minerals

01:10:38.100 in every single chip,

01:10:40.120 none of this would work.

01:10:42.160 We didn't pay anybody for that.

01:10:44.640 We didn't pay the owner

01:10:46.520 of the rare earth minerals.

01:10:49.020 We didn't pay for those things.

01:10:51.380 Yeah, we paid somebody

01:10:52.600 who claimed

01:10:53.480 they owned those,

01:10:55.520 but they didn't own them

01:10:56.660 because they didn't make them.

01:10:58.460 Everything I own,

01:10:59.640 my car,

01:11:00.940 started out with

01:11:01.900 natural elements

01:11:03.440 in the ground.

01:11:04.160 My cotton shirt

01:11:04.960 picked by a man,

01:11:06.640 woven by men, 0.99

01:11:07.860 but it started out

01:11:09.100 as a seed

01:11:09.840 not made by a man.

01:11:13.120 The sweater

01:11:14.100 I'm wearing.

01:11:15.820 I love it.

01:11:18.040 But it didn't actually

01:11:19.420 come from

01:11:19.940 some fancy designer.

01:11:21.220 the wool,

01:11:23.320 the fabric

01:11:23.840 was being,

01:11:26.300 somebody had stewardship

01:11:27.940 of that wool.

01:11:30.420 Because I don't know about you,

01:11:31.480 but I can't create sheep.

01:11:35.180 When you really think about it,

01:11:36.680 man has not created anything.

01:11:39.120 He has rearranged things.

01:11:41.940 But you didn't create anything.

01:11:44.560 It's why the Native American, 0.99

01:11:46.180 and you don't read this story

01:11:47.460 in history,

01:11:47.940 why they laughed at us

01:11:48.840 when we tried to buy land

01:11:49.880 from them.

01:11:50.940 They would take the beads

01:11:51.880 and everything else,

01:11:52.520 but they would go back

01:11:53.180 to the tribe

01:11:53.680 and they'd laugh at us.

01:11:54.660 This white man thinks

01:11:55.560 that you can own land.

01:11:56.820 You don't own land.

01:11:57.940 You're a steward of the land.

01:12:00.100 You have it for a while.

01:12:02.220 They thought they were

01:12:03.080 ripping us off.

01:12:06.420 They didn't understand

01:12:07.580 our ownership ideas.

01:12:11.980 Right now,

01:12:15.040 our bodies can find

01:12:17.220 replacement parts

01:12:18.420 and more and more.

01:12:19.980 They're going to,

01:12:20.500 in my lifetime,

01:12:21.540 probably in the next 10 years,

01:12:23.520 people will have

01:12:24.500 an artificial heart

01:12:25.420 that will be grown

01:12:26.540 from you.

01:12:28.140 It won't be artificial.

01:12:29.100 It'll be real.

01:12:30.020 They'll grow it

01:12:30.580 in a 3D printer

01:12:31.620 and they'll be able

01:12:33.940 to take it

01:12:34.640 from your cells.

01:12:37.840 Not my creation.

01:12:39.000 not the doctor's creation.

01:12:41.240 Just using the pieces

01:12:42.900 and the patterns

01:12:44.100 to recreate.

01:12:48.060 Go ahead, scientists.

01:12:49.960 Go ahead.

01:12:51.220 Make your man.

01:12:52.920 Form him out of dust,

01:12:54.400 but use your dust,

01:12:56.980 not his stardust.

01:12:59.300 Go ahead.

01:12:59.980 Make a car,

01:13:01.260 but use the minerals

01:13:03.120 that you made,

01:13:04.640 not the stuff

01:13:05.100 you pulled out of the ground.

01:13:06.140 I was doing some reading

01:13:12.700 a couple of weeks ago

01:13:14.380 and I started thinking

01:13:16.000 about this

01:13:16.440 and I thought,

01:13:16.840 boy, how ungrateful are we?

01:13:21.000 He gives us

01:13:21.860 absolutely everything

01:13:23.140 and there's still

01:13:24.520 a big part of me

01:13:25.200 that says,

01:13:25.700 look what I did.

01:13:26.740 Look what I created.

01:13:31.160 Worse yet,

01:13:32.800 he's assigned me

01:13:34.020 a job

01:13:34.660 and you,

01:13:35.320 all of us.

01:13:36.140 Sign me a job

01:13:37.040 and a vision

01:13:37.700 and then I

01:13:39.380 farmed that vision

01:13:41.180 out to somebody else.

01:13:43.900 He gave me work

01:13:45.440 and I gave it

01:13:46.540 to somebody else,

01:13:47.380 not even noticing

01:13:48.260 or thinking about,

01:13:49.220 well, if he wanted them

01:13:49.920 to do it,

01:13:50.300 he could have just

01:13:51.060 gone right to them

01:13:51.860 instead.

01:13:52.740 Why did he go to me?

01:13:56.400 Stewardship.

01:13:58.600 Vision isn't

01:13:59.420 to be reassigned.

01:14:00.400 I never thought of it

01:14:02.740 this way before.

01:14:06.960 I'm kind of thinking

01:14:08.160 out loud.

01:14:12.080 All I know is

01:14:13.200 a couple of weeks ago

01:14:14.460 I started thinking

01:14:15.100 about tithing

01:14:15.940 in a totally different way

01:14:17.120 and you don't have to

01:14:18.640 give it to a church.

01:14:20.560 10%.

01:14:21.040 Give 10%

01:14:23.140 to charity.

01:14:24.880 But 10%

01:14:25.780 is just the start,

01:14:27.000 it's not the end.

01:14:29.500 10%

01:14:30.220 of tithing

01:14:31.220 is supposed to come

01:14:32.100 after you've given

01:14:33.660 away everything

01:14:34.820 else

01:14:35.440 that you don't

01:14:36.500 need.

01:14:38.020 So,

01:14:38.460 you're supposed to look

01:14:39.540 at everything.

01:14:40.000 That's why some people

01:14:41.120 when they give 10%,

01:14:42.080 it's like,

01:14:42.520 well, yeah,

01:14:42.840 the rich can give 10%,

01:14:43.900 they wouldn't even notice.

01:14:44.900 They hear that all the time.

01:14:45.880 Yeah, they'll notice.

01:14:47.640 But it's not the same

01:14:48.980 as the widows might. 1.00

01:14:50.600 It's not the same

01:14:51.400 as somebody who is

01:14:52.140 sitting there

01:14:52.620 and they're looking

01:14:53.900 at all of the things

01:14:55.060 that they have to pay for.

01:14:57.000 Are we going to make it

01:14:58.000 with our house?

01:14:58.700 Can we make our car payment?

01:15:00.440 Trust

01:15:00.880 in God.

01:15:03.240 Pay it first

01:15:04.300 and watch what happens.

01:15:08.380 That takes real faith.

01:15:10.000 I guess I'm viewing

01:15:15.160 my needs and my wants

01:15:16.500 in a totally different way.

01:15:20.000 I don't know.

01:15:20.720 I need some time

01:15:21.500 to think.

01:15:22.660 Do I?

01:15:23.940 Because what am I doing

01:15:24.940 with my think time?

01:15:27.760 Am I using my think time

01:15:29.740 in some internet wormhole?

01:15:34.380 Because tithing

01:15:35.300 and stewardship

01:15:36.020 is not just about money.

01:15:37.340 In fact,

01:15:37.620 that probably,

01:15:38.280 probably is the least of it.

01:15:40.800 It's about

01:15:41.560 who owns you?

01:15:45.820 Who do you serve?

01:15:49.240 And the things

01:15:50.000 that you have.

01:15:50.740 For instance,

01:15:52.120 if your house

01:15:53.200 said

01:15:54.540 on a cornerstone

01:15:56.200 right by the door,

01:15:58.320 this is the house of God

01:15:59.940 and you really believed

01:16:01.980 that you didn't own that house,

01:16:03.680 that was God's house

01:16:04.920 and you were just using it,

01:16:07.580 would you treat it differently?

01:16:09.440 Would you not do things

01:16:11.160 in your house

01:16:12.000 that maybe you do now?

01:16:14.000 Would you stop things

01:16:15.400 that you allow?

01:16:16.480 If you knew it was his

01:16:17.980 and he was going to come back

01:16:19.000 and go,

01:16:19.720 hey, thanks for trashing the pad,

01:16:21.800 man.

01:16:22.180 Thank you.

01:16:22.540 I appreciate that.

01:16:24.280 Ah, great.

01:16:25.560 You rented it out

01:16:26.280 to partiers.

01:16:27.500 Cool.

01:16:29.840 Your car,

01:16:30.760 anything that you own,

01:16:32.440 if you were just a steward

01:16:34.160 of it.

01:16:36.500 How about your job?

01:16:37.700 If you thought your job

01:16:40.900 was actually his,

01:16:42.760 you walked into his office

01:16:44.300 and he said,

01:16:46.160 hey, Stu,

01:16:47.520 I need you to sit behind the desk,

01:16:48.720 just make the decisions

01:16:49.800 the best you can,

01:16:50.980 I'll be back.

01:16:52.180 Just hold down the fort.

01:16:54.680 Would you do your job differently

01:16:56.740 than you do now

01:16:58.000 if you knew that came from him?

01:17:01.200 I contend we all would.

01:17:08.100 And if we look at our self

01:17:10.360 and our jobs,

01:17:12.060 our life,

01:17:14.360 as just being a steward,

01:17:17.220 not an owner.

01:17:18.080 I'm not an owner of my time.

01:17:20.020 I'm not an owner of my life.

01:17:22.740 I'm a steward of my life

01:17:24.800 that he gave me.

01:17:28.480 How would you run your business?

01:17:31.200 How would you run your schedule,

01:17:32.980 your time,

01:17:33.760 your children,

01:17:35.140 your body?

01:17:37.340 It doesn't belong to you.

01:17:38.720 It's his.

01:17:42.660 This is where my head's been recently.

01:17:46.600 I made a list

01:17:47.960 a couple of weeks ago.

01:17:52.360 If I knew

01:17:53.640 he had lent this to me,

01:17:57.780 would it be different?

01:18:03.820 I walked in the back hallway here,

01:18:05.920 the back prop cage

01:18:07.920 where all the props are

01:18:08.840 and everything.

01:18:09.980 I walked through this last weekend.

01:18:12.100 I was horrified and embarrassed.

01:18:15.120 And I walked by

01:18:15.940 because it's just a mess.

01:18:17.020 And it's a mess

01:18:17.820 because we are all running

01:18:18.760 like a billion miles an hour.

01:18:20.500 But I thought to myself,

01:18:22.240 if I knew

01:18:25.060 that this building

01:18:26.240 was his,

01:18:27.860 not mine,

01:18:29.020 and he was going to come back

01:18:30.840 and walk through it,

01:18:31.800 would it look like that?

01:18:33.000 I think it's the Hobby Lobby thing.

01:18:34.780 When we went to Hobby Lobby,

01:18:35.980 did you go with me, Stu?

01:18:37.280 No, we talked to him on the air.

01:18:38.720 You could eat off the floor

01:18:40.580 of nine million square feet.

01:18:44.280 It was unbelievable.

01:18:45.200 And it's just a change in culture.

01:18:48.340 It's a change in the way

01:18:49.400 you perceive.

01:18:51.100 It's what Mr. Hobby Lobby said.

01:18:54.840 I put under the glass on my desk,

01:18:57.760 this business is his,

01:18:59.140 not mine.

01:19:01.180 That changes everything.

01:19:03.600 I made a list of all the things

01:19:05.620 in my life

01:19:06.440 and said if it was his,

01:19:07.800 what would I be doing?

01:19:09.260 Would I be doing the same thing?

01:19:11.240 Almost none of them

01:19:12.260 did I answer the same way.

01:19:13.520 In fact, I don't think any of them

01:19:15.320 did I say,

01:19:16.720 oh yeah, I got this one.

01:19:17.920 Yeah, he's,

01:19:19.040 he could come back

01:19:19.740 and I've taken good care of this.

01:19:22.260 Uh-uh.

01:19:22.900 None of them.

01:19:26.080 Perhaps,

01:19:26.960 my children and my family,

01:19:30.060 but that's just a perhaps.

01:19:31.440 I think,

01:19:35.220 we really,

01:19:40.700 we get lost

01:19:44.340 and we make ourselves feel good

01:19:45.680 because we do some things.

01:19:47.280 I mean,

01:19:47.640 I don't know if you know this

01:19:49.000 as an audience

01:19:49.580 because we don't really ever talk about it

01:19:51.080 because we're not looking

01:19:51.640 for the accolades.

01:19:53.480 But,

01:19:54.040 do you know that you've given

01:19:55.160 between 50 and 60 million dollars

01:19:57.580 over the last four or five years

01:19:59.060 to Mercury One?

01:20:00.540 We've saved six,

01:20:02.060 over 6,000,

01:20:04.900 6,000 people,

01:20:07.400 Christians in New Cities 0.99

01:20:08.240 from the Middle East.

01:20:09.880 We're saving children

01:20:11.200 from slavery.

01:20:13.320 What's happening

01:20:14.120 because of you

01:20:14.920 is outrageous.

01:20:17.880 No other country,

01:20:19.080 no other agency,

01:20:19.940 no other group,

01:20:21.500 nobody's doing that.

01:20:22.740 You are.

01:20:24.140 We're not a church.

01:20:25.400 We're a group of people

01:20:26.360 that just get together

01:20:27.140 and say,

01:20:27.520 that's got to change.

01:20:28.800 It's got to change.

01:20:30.060 Look at the power

01:20:31.420 of stewardship.

01:20:33.560 That's coming from us

01:20:34.960 just saying,

01:20:35.620 I can't sit around

01:20:36.600 while that is happening.

01:20:38.240 There will be

01:20:38.860 real consequences for us.

01:20:43.320 I told you two weeks ago,

01:20:45.260 two members of our team

01:20:46.540 lost their lives

01:20:47.380 trying to rescue

01:20:48.120 a mom and two children

01:20:49.120 from the slavery of ISIS.

01:20:52.380 The mom and children

01:20:53.380 are free.

01:20:56.120 Tonight,

01:20:56.680 they're putting their head down.

01:20:57.720 They're right now

01:20:58.580 in the Middle East.

01:20:59.780 They're getting ready

01:21:00.260 to put their heads down

01:21:01.380 to bed,

01:21:02.040 and they are safe

01:21:03.200 and free

01:21:03.980 because of those two men.

01:21:05.160 Those two men

01:21:07.440 were sent by you

01:21:08.620 because we met

01:21:10.960 and I said,

01:21:12.320 let's do something.

01:21:13.200 Let's do the Nazarene Fund. 0.63

01:21:14.800 Those children

01:21:15.440 have a life today.

01:21:19.320 It is a blessing

01:21:20.380 to be alive

01:21:21.100 at this time

01:21:22.060 because there is conflict

01:21:24.080 and it gives us a chance

01:21:25.400 to stand up

01:21:26.040 and say,

01:21:26.460 no, no, no,

01:21:26.900 not on my watch.

01:21:27.740 Now, that's what we did

01:21:31.440 just kind of saying,

01:21:32.620 eh,

01:21:33.780 I want to do something.

01:21:35.460 Imagine if we did

01:21:36.700 all that we could,

01:21:38.080 if we really gave

01:21:39.660 all of our time,

01:21:41.280 our talents,

01:21:41.980 our surplus.

01:21:42.940 Can you imagine

01:21:43.700 what we could do?

01:21:48.080 I don't know about you,

01:21:49.060 but I'm searching

01:21:50.320 for a deeper meaning

01:21:51.420 and I'm not unhappy,

01:21:53.300 but I am searching

01:21:54.620 for a deeper meaning

01:21:55.740 and deeper connection

01:21:57.300 my job,

01:21:59.540 my life.

01:22:00.120 It's not meaningless.

01:22:01.240 Neither is,

01:22:01.900 neither are yours.

01:22:06.040 But perhaps we have them

01:22:07.380 for a reason.

01:22:09.940 I've asked myself,

01:22:11.140 what more can I do

01:22:12.080 in every aspect

01:22:13.540 of my life?

01:22:14.240 And the answer

01:22:14.800 every single time is,

01:22:16.520 oh my gosh,

01:22:17.320 so much more.

01:22:22.980 Together,

01:22:23.600 we've done

01:22:24.040 some really great things

01:22:25.340 and I think

01:22:26.420 we're all better people

01:22:27.400 for the journey,

01:22:28.240 no matter where we are

01:22:29.200 in that journey.

01:22:29.860 We're all better

01:22:30.480 for the journey

01:22:31.120 that we've made together

01:22:32.000 over the last 10 or 15 years.

01:22:34.640 But change is in the air.

01:22:37.060 Global change is in the air.

01:22:40.100 A vision has been given

01:22:41.540 and each of us

01:22:43.640 and each of us

01:22:43.660 have a responsibility

01:22:44.960 to execute that vision

01:22:46.420 in our own realm,

01:22:47.600 in our own lives.

01:22:49.140 And the world might look at us

01:22:50.500 really strangely.

01:22:52.780 Our own families

01:22:53.960 or co-workers

01:22:54.620 might look at us

01:22:55.400 and say,

01:22:55.820 you're mad. 0.92

01:22:58.660 Snozberries?

01:22:59.480 Who's ever heard

01:23:00.340 of a Snozberry?

01:23:01.800 Do you remember

01:23:02.240 how Willy Wonka

01:23:03.120 answered that?

01:23:05.840 Remember?

01:23:08.680 Snozberries taste

01:23:09.400 like Snozberries.

01:23:10.780 Snozberries?

01:23:11.180 Who's ever heard

01:23:11.900 of a Snozberry?

01:23:14.480 We are the makers

01:23:15.620 of music.

01:23:17.300 We are the dreamers

01:23:18.220 of dreams.

01:23:19.380 That's how he answered it.

01:23:21.520 But do you know

01:23:22.200 where that came from?

01:23:24.720 That's from a poem.

01:23:26.000 Those are the first

01:23:26.520 two lines of a poem.

01:23:28.180 And this poem,

01:23:29.280 we quote all the time

01:23:30.780 and we don't know it.

01:23:32.160 Listen to this.

01:23:33.780 We are the music makers

01:23:35.180 and we are the dreamers

01:23:36.620 of dreams.

01:23:37.880 Wandering by lone

01:23:39.400 sea breakers

01:23:40.400 and sitting

01:23:41.000 by desolate streams.

01:23:43.040 World losers

01:23:44.040 and world forsakers

01:23:45.460 on whom the pale moon

01:23:47.380 gleams.

01:23:48.720 Yet we are the movers

01:23:50.220 and shakers 0.86

01:23:51.020 of the world forever,

01:23:53.860 it seems.

01:23:55.820 The term movers

01:23:57.260 and shakers 0.86

01:23:57.920 comes from this poem.

01:23:59.560 You can't be a mover

01:24:03.840 or shaker

01:24:04.960 if you don't understand

01:24:06.700 that we are

01:24:07.300 the music makers.

01:24:08.920 We are the dreamers

01:24:10.140 of dreams.

01:24:11.560 And the world,

01:24:12.780 we have to forsake it.

01:24:16.620 Each of us

01:24:17.300 have been given a job

01:24:18.180 and I for one

01:24:19.360 need to get off

01:24:19.940 my fat ass 1.00

01:24:20.740 and start doing it

01:24:21.820 with my whole

01:24:23.240 mind,

01:24:24.500 heart,

01:24:26.080 strength,

01:24:27.200 might,

01:24:28.580 everything.

01:24:29.560 I don't know

01:24:33.240 if that means

01:24:33.660 I sell my stuff

01:24:35.000 and give it to charity.

01:24:36.380 I doubt I'd ever

01:24:37.880 get to that point

01:24:39.100 because I'm not

01:24:40.080 that good of a person

01:24:42.220 I think,

01:24:42.840 but I will stop

01:24:43.660 selling my time

01:24:44.840 to the false gods

01:24:45.920 of this world.

01:24:51.880 Hopefully,

01:24:53.120 I'm sure a lot

01:24:55.340 of people are thinking,

01:24:56.240 what the hell

01:24:56.860 was that about?

01:24:58.360 Hopefully,

01:24:58.840 you heard

01:25:00.820 what you needed

01:25:01.460 to hear.

01:25:03.220 You,

01:25:04.660 the music maker

01:25:05.620 and dreamers

01:25:06.860 of dreams.

01:25:07.820 You're listening

01:25:17.760 to the Glenn Beck

01:25:18.620 Program.

01:25:19.020 Oh my gosh.

01:25:22.080 My wife,

01:25:22.840 timing is everything.

01:25:24.320 I just checked

01:25:24.860 my email

01:25:25.300 during the break.

01:25:26.780 Good morning.

01:25:27.700 The church

01:25:28.000 has an opportunity

01:25:28.680 to clean the church

01:25:29.660 building this month.

01:25:30.920 We'd like to invite

01:25:31.480 you and your family

01:25:32.220 to clean this Saturday.

01:25:34.300 Building will be open

01:25:35.200 with a good showing

01:25:36.220 we might be done

01:25:37.240 in little as a couple

01:25:38.580 of hours.

01:25:40.140 You know who

01:25:41.240 sent it to me?

01:25:42.080 My wife.

01:25:43.060 With just this.

01:25:44.320 The Becks will be there.

01:25:45.680 I mean,

01:25:48.440 I'm not five minutes

01:25:49.760 away from that

01:25:50.680 monologue I just did

01:25:52.600 and I'm like,

01:25:53.060 no,

01:25:53.300 not that.

01:25:55.220 I mean,

01:25:55.760 obviously,

01:25:56.200 you'll like God

01:25:56.680 and everything,

01:25:57.140 but cleaning?

01:25:57.700 Cleaning the church?

01:25:59.020 No.

01:25:59.120 Obviously.

01:25:59.740 Can we hire somebody

01:26:01.060 to do our job?

01:26:01.900 you wanted to help

01:26:02.620 but she didn't even realize

01:26:03.880 that you've already

01:26:04.500 had something scheduled

01:26:05.300 for weeks.

01:26:07.300 Oh my gosh,

01:26:08.760 you're right.

01:26:09.480 I feel bad about that.

01:26:11.660 The central booking radio

01:26:15.240 and thing that Jeff is doing.

01:26:17.580 Oh my gosh,

01:26:18.240 it's huge.

01:26:18.860 Oh man.

01:26:20.480 I have to.

01:26:20.800 I mean,

01:26:21.080 we have to.

01:26:21.880 Have to do that.

01:26:23.440 Yeah.

01:26:23.760 You can't.

01:26:24.340 Right after that monologue.

01:26:27.180 You can't prioritize church

01:26:28.620 over Jeffy's fake business thing.

01:26:32.880 But isn't that the case?

01:26:34.200 Isn't that the way

01:26:34.680 it always happens?

01:26:36.200 Oh,

01:26:36.460 it's always.

01:26:36.620 You're like,

01:26:37.000 oh no,

01:26:37.340 I really,

01:26:37.840 I'm turning over a new leaf.

01:26:40.440 What?

01:26:41.420 Not that.

01:26:42.400 Oh,

01:26:42.600 well,

01:26:42.840 I mean,

01:26:43.160 Jeffy.

01:26:43.540 We'll see Guardians of the Galaxy.

01:26:45.800 Jeffy's in the middle of,

01:26:47.260 what is seen as an 18 day

01:26:49.160 mega fast thing.

01:26:51.260 Poor vacation.

01:26:52.560 Hardcore.

01:26:53.200 And I'm with him on this.

01:26:54.000 Something to lose, baby.

01:26:54.800 I'm with him.

01:26:55.180 I'm on it.

01:26:55.600 Are you really?

01:26:56.140 Yes.

01:26:56.520 Good for you.

01:26:57.160 Day two.

01:26:57.840 Right till vacation.

01:26:58.980 You know what?

01:26:59.760 I've got to do it.

01:27:01.020 Somebody's going to bring

01:27:01.760 a big chocolate cake in here

01:27:03.300 and say,

01:27:03.880 oh look,

01:27:04.280 I brought you a chocolate cake.

01:27:05.640 Or I thought for sure,

01:27:06.280 Matthew would come in here

01:27:07.000 with,

01:27:07.220 oh look,

01:27:07.660 here's a box of Sherry's berries.

01:27:09.180 Have some.

01:27:10.180 No.

01:27:12.340 Unless he brought it in.

01:27:13.260 I'm ordering a box of Sherry's berries.

01:27:14.100 Unless he brought it in.

01:27:15.660 Unless he brought it in.

01:27:16.600 You are,

01:27:17.700 you are,

01:27:18.840 your spine is a,

01:27:19.820 you are a tower of jello.

01:27:21.360 You,

01:27:22.100 you are impressive.

01:27:24.580 Thank you.

01:27:24.920 You are impressive.

01:27:25.700 The willpower there

01:27:26.580 just doesn't stop.

01:27:27.620 Back in a minute.

01:27:28.320 You are listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:43.620 Mercury.

01:27:47.540 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:49.940 Our Mercury One team

01:27:51.280 is down at Victory Plaza.

01:27:53.340 That's in Dallas

01:27:54.220 with our affiliate

01:27:55.440 570 KLIF.

01:27:57.560 We are very much into

01:27:59.160 veterans' causes.

01:28:01.000 We have,

01:28:01.320 we have joined with

01:28:02.280 Folds of Honor.

01:28:04.460 And what Folds of Honor,

01:28:05.820 what reason why it's called

01:28:06.520 Folds of Honor,

01:28:07.000 there are 13 folds

01:28:08.480 in the American flag.

01:28:10.160 And they,

01:28:11.580 at a funeral of a vet,

01:28:13.380 they fold that flag

01:28:14.940 and then

01:28:15.500 hand it to the family.

01:28:17.920 And Folds of Honor

01:28:19.920 wanted to kick off

01:28:20.960 their campaign

01:28:21.680 and raise

01:28:22.480 a million dollars.

01:28:24.320 We have

01:28:24.840 partnered with them

01:28:26.460 to stand

01:28:27.520 to honor

01:28:29.880 the fallen.

01:28:33.020 And what this is,

01:28:33.800 we want to raise money

01:28:34.880 to help the spouses

01:28:36.920 and the children

01:28:38.160 with educational scholarships

01:28:39.620 and the disabled servicemen

01:28:42.600 and women

01:28:43.060 that have fought in the war.

01:28:45.520 We've got to do a better job

01:28:46.640 at taking care of our guys.

01:28:47.920 And our women.

01:28:49.900 If you're there local,

01:28:51.160 you can attend.

01:28:51.940 It's down in

01:28:52.560 Victory Plaza.

01:28:54.680 Otherwise,

01:28:55.640 you can go there

01:28:57.160 and stand for 13 minutes

01:28:58.480 and they have this platform

01:28:59.600 that you go up to

01:29:00.640 and they have the boots

01:29:02.420 in cement.

01:29:05.120 They have the boot prints

01:29:06.220 of the fallen.

01:29:07.900 And you stand in their place

01:29:09.520 for 13 minutes

01:29:10.580 while pledges come in.

01:29:12.860 And they're asking you

01:29:14.000 to pledge $13

01:29:15.540 for every 13 minutes

01:29:17.300 of somebody.

01:29:18.020 So if you have $13

01:29:19.240 you want to pledge,

01:29:20.760 just pledge that $13.

01:29:22.700 You can, of course,

01:29:23.600 do more if you'd like,

01:29:24.560 but they'd like to raise

01:29:25.380 a million dollars.

01:29:26.240 And it's a really,

01:29:28.980 really great cause.

01:29:31.360 You can go to

01:29:31.900 mercuryone.org

01:29:33.520 slash stand

01:29:34.840 for more information.

01:29:37.440 mercuryone.org

01:29:38.760 slash stand

01:29:40.140 and it will go

01:29:40.900 until 7 p.m.

01:29:42.700 tonight.

01:29:44.020 And we sure would like

01:29:45.400 you to participate

01:29:46.100 and thanks to our

01:29:47.140 affiliate here

01:29:48.060 in Dallas,

01:29:48.920 570 KLIF.

01:29:50.240 We're hoping to raise

01:29:51.140 enough money

01:29:51.660 about the same amount

01:29:53.080 that Sinclair just paid

01:29:54.480 for Tribune.

01:29:55.940 We're looking to raise

01:29:56.880 just $3.9 billion.

01:29:59.440 That's all we need.

01:30:00.260 If we can just do that,

01:30:01.260 I think this will really

01:30:02.160 help the cause quite a bit.

01:30:03.220 So Sinclair

01:30:04.020 bought Tribune.

01:30:05.520 This will be the largest

01:30:06.860 television,

01:30:08.600 local affiliate network

01:30:11.200 now in the country,

01:30:12.720 right?

01:30:14.520 I'm pretty sure.

01:30:15.540 I don't know.

01:30:15.840 I'm pretty sure.

01:30:16.920 A lot of stations,

01:30:18.800 they say the FCC,

01:30:20.740 the opposition says

01:30:22.180 the FCC has turned

01:30:24.200 a blind eye

01:30:24.960 to its ethics here

01:30:27.840 because it's going to be

01:30:28.820 a very large

01:30:29.660 and powerful chain

01:30:30.760 in cities all across

01:30:33.020 the country.

01:30:33.540 But they bought

01:30:35.120 Tribune television.

01:30:36.360 so this is

01:30:38.440 a conservative

01:30:39.140 company

01:30:40.420 that they're the ones

01:30:42.500 that put,

01:30:43.060 what's her name on,

01:30:45.580 she's that great

01:30:46.520 journalist from CBS

01:30:47.840 that left,

01:30:48.800 she did her own thing,

01:30:50.520 Cheryl Atkinson.

01:30:50.960 Cheryl Atkinson.

01:30:52.660 She's already doing

01:30:53.840 something with

01:30:54.480 Sinclair Broadcasting

01:30:56.300 and they're going to

01:30:58.060 go after Fox

01:30:59.760 and I think

01:31:00.760 what they're going to do

01:31:01.560 is sweep up

01:31:03.040 all the guys

01:31:03.820 that have left Fox.

01:31:05.480 I think they're going

01:31:06.040 to recreate Fox.

01:31:08.260 So they've been

01:31:08.800 reporting,

01:31:09.760 claiming or at least

01:31:11.180 rumors of that

01:31:12.240 going on.

01:31:13.000 Yeah,

01:31:13.200 there's two groups

01:31:14.400 that are thinking

01:31:15.880 about doing it

01:31:16.680 and one of them

01:31:19.720 is Sinclair.

01:31:20.700 So,

01:31:21.440 you know,

01:31:22.000 what their programming

01:31:23.040 will look like

01:31:23.620 I don't know

01:31:24.180 but I do know

01:31:25.500 there are a lot

01:31:26.000 of Fox people

01:31:26.660 that are available

01:31:27.840 and Sinclair is

01:31:30.280 you know,

01:31:31.040 very

01:31:31.480 hands-on

01:31:34.260 on their

01:31:35.640 editorial opinion.

01:31:37.320 They were

01:31:37.740 all of them

01:31:38.980 march,

01:31:39.600 you know,

01:31:40.260 lockstep

01:31:40.820 with the GOP

01:31:41.760 and Donald Trump

01:31:42.600 and so I don't know

01:31:45.020 how that will work

01:31:45.820 with people

01:31:47.020 who,

01:31:48.040 you know,

01:31:48.780 have their own opinions.

01:31:49.740 I mean,

01:31:49.940 I know Cheryl Atkinson 0.96

01:31:50.880 has her own opinion

01:31:51.640 and she doesn't seem

01:31:52.420 to mind

01:31:52.740 so we'll see

01:31:54.360 but they're

01:31:55.060 going to

01:31:55.400 not go after

01:31:56.460 Fox.

01:31:56.920 I think they're

01:31:57.980 considering that

01:31:58.700 Fox is going

01:31:59.480 after itself

01:32:00.360 and so there

01:32:01.640 needs to be

01:32:02.020 another outlet.

01:32:03.260 It's typical

01:32:03.640 that you would

01:32:04.240 promote some

01:32:05.080 conservative media

01:32:06.540 company on a

01:32:07.680 day like today.

01:32:08.820 I mean,

01:32:09.080 it's actually

01:32:10.140 unbelievable

01:32:10.560 but I shouldn't

01:32:12.180 be surprised.

01:32:13.080 What is today?

01:32:14.200 What's today?

01:32:15.000 Yeah,

01:32:15.220 what's today?

01:32:15.960 Well,

01:32:16.140 I think we're all

01:32:16.940 reeling from

01:32:17.860 the incredible

01:32:18.680 moment that

01:32:19.720 happened yesterday

01:32:20.700 when you look

01:32:23.360 at me like

01:32:23.740 you know,

01:32:24.020 I know I was

01:32:24.600 going to say

01:32:24.840 with you

01:32:25.180 when

01:32:25.740 oh,

01:32:26.580 when

01:32:26.780 MTV

01:32:29.080 announced

01:32:31.000 their

01:32:31.360 genderless

01:32:32.360 awards.

01:32:33.380 Yeah,

01:32:33.680 I think,

01:32:34.160 okay,

01:32:34.480 you were on that.

01:32:35.140 I was on that.

01:32:35.960 I was absolutely

01:32:36.660 on that.

01:32:37.000 I didn't understand.

01:32:37.820 Now,

01:32:38.060 okay,

01:32:38.300 so wait,

01:32:38.680 I want to know

01:32:39.980 because I don't

01:32:41.500 have a problem.

01:32:42.120 This is going to

01:32:42.540 piss people off

01:32:43.480 because they're

01:32:44.560 going to be,

01:32:45.040 what about

01:32:45.440 the accomplishments

01:32:46.360 of women?

01:32:47.760 What about

01:32:48.100 the accomplishment?

01:32:48.940 They,

01:32:49.260 what they did

01:32:49.760 is best actor

01:32:50.760 and that means

01:32:51.440 anybody.

01:32:52.680 So it's

01:32:53.260 genderless.

01:32:54.020 I don't have

01:32:54.480 a problem

01:32:54.760 with that.

01:32:55.120 Who was

01:32:55.640 the best

01:32:56.240 actor?

01:32:57.000 Yep.

01:32:57.320 Doesn't matter.

01:32:57.940 Black,

01:32:58.340 white,

01:32:59.200 male,

01:32:59.780 female,

01:33:00.140 who's the

01:33:00.500 best one?

01:33:01.200 I think

01:33:01.580 that's great.

01:33:02.380 I think

01:33:02.780 it's hateful

01:33:03.460 personally to,

01:33:05.800 for example,

01:33:07.160 have a WNBA.

01:33:09.560 that should be

01:33:11.800 dissolved immediately

01:33:13.300 and people

01:33:14.460 should just

01:33:15.040 compete all

01:33:15.800 together.

01:33:16.360 Correct.

01:33:16.620 You can have

01:33:17.020 genderless,

01:33:17.980 you can have

01:33:18.420 pansexual,

01:33:19.880 you can have

01:33:20.440 male,

01:33:21.320 female,

01:33:22.060 every color

01:33:23.300 of the rainbow.

01:33:24.120 Wait,

01:33:24.280 wait,

01:33:24.600 wait,

01:33:24.960 and you can

01:33:25.740 also have

01:33:26.500 males who

01:33:27.940 identify as

01:33:29.840 females. 0.98

01:33:30.300 Yes,

01:33:30.560 absolutely.

01:33:31.200 All of them

01:33:32.240 compete together

01:33:33.240 to play

01:33:34.160 in the NBA.

01:33:35.660 Right.

01:33:35.980 So,

01:33:36.960 the best

01:33:37.460 players in

01:33:38.000 the WNBA

01:33:38.940 get open

01:33:39.740 tryouts

01:33:40.440 against the

01:33:41.520 male players.

01:33:42.320 No,

01:33:42.360 that's not

01:33:42.720 right.

01:33:43.520 Why?

01:33:44.380 Because

01:33:44.860 it's open

01:33:45.580 competition.

01:33:46.080 No,

01:33:46.120 because male

01:33:46.800 and female

01:33:47.360 their bodies

01:33:48.260 are different.

01:33:49.400 Their bodies

01:33:49.740 are different.

01:33:50.700 What?

01:33:51.680 What?

01:33:53.140 Different?

01:33:54.120 Whoa.

01:33:54.780 How dare

01:33:56.340 you,

01:33:56.860 sir?

01:33:57.480 Or madam? 0.97

01:33:58.160 They are

01:34:00.440 different.

01:34:01.540 Imagine me

01:34:02.220 in a moo-moo 1.00

01:34:02.880 right now.

01:34:04.840 We're all

01:34:05.520 developing

01:34:06.040 features

01:34:06.720 of women.

01:34:08.400 Oh,

01:34:08.700 my gosh.

01:34:08.940 Particularly

01:34:09.180 in the

01:34:09.440 chestral region.

01:34:10.280 Yes.

01:34:10.800 But that's

01:34:11.380 really more

01:34:11.880 associated

01:34:12.320 with baked

01:34:12.720 goods than

01:34:13.900 gender.

01:34:15.560 It's,

01:34:16.060 I mean,

01:34:16.600 because the

01:34:17.600 concept is

01:34:18.420 understandable.

01:34:19.480 Why do

01:34:19.740 these things

01:34:20.100 exist?

01:34:20.880 Why does

01:34:21.260 the WNBA

01:34:22.100 exist?

01:34:22.660 It's

01:34:22.900 everyone

01:34:23.460 admitting,

01:34:24.700 admitting that

01:34:25.940 women cannot 1.00

01:34:26.620 compete with

01:34:27.240 men on a

01:34:27.680 basketball court.

01:34:28.280 That is what

01:34:29.300 they're doing.

01:34:29.900 What is the

01:34:30.440 deal with

01:34:30.740 the weight

01:34:31.040 lifters?

01:34:31.480 Remember

01:34:31.680 the first

01:34:32.200 transgendered

01:34:34.620 I'm trying

01:34:36.940 to remember.

01:34:37.620 What's the

01:34:38.160 difference

01:34:38.340 between

01:34:38.600 transgendered,

01:34:39.600 I'm pretending

01:34:40.280 I don't

01:34:40.640 know,

01:34:41.100 and transsexual? 0.56

01:34:43.500 I don't

01:34:43.900 know.

01:34:45.460 But there

01:34:45.820 was a story,

01:34:46.740 I'm pretending

01:34:47.220 I don't know.

01:34:47.880 The story

01:34:48.600 recently I think

01:34:49.140 you're referring

01:34:49.520 to was an

01:34:50.980 athlete who

01:34:52.560 was male at

01:34:54.500 one point,

01:34:55.540 had transitioned

01:34:56.640 to female,

01:34:57.440 and was competing

01:34:58.020 against females,

01:34:59.140 and destroying

01:34:59.760 them all in the

01:35:02.080 competition because

01:35:03.320 perhaps some

01:35:05.580 hate mongers

01:35:06.280 would say there

01:35:07.300 was a physical

01:35:07.880 difference between

01:35:08.660 the male and

01:35:09.100 the female. 0.87

01:35:09.760 Like in muscle

01:35:10.160 mass.

01:35:10.520 And muscle

01:35:10.940 mass and other

01:35:11.700 features that

01:35:12.580 made that person

01:35:13.580 dominate the

01:35:14.380 sport.

01:35:15.200 But I mean,

01:35:16.000 if we're going

01:35:16.700 to go down

01:35:17.220 this road,

01:35:17.700 and it's funny

01:35:18.300 because the

01:35:19.700 sports leagues

01:35:21.260 are actually

01:35:22.360 leading this

01:35:23.480 battle for

01:35:24.200 genderless

01:35:24.780 bathrooms and

01:35:25.620 such.

01:35:26.340 They're the

01:35:26.720 ones saying

01:35:27.320 we're going

01:35:27.580 to pull out

01:35:28.020 our championships

01:35:28.680 from your cities.

01:35:29.800 They're the

01:35:30.440 ones saying it.

01:35:31.200 What would it

01:35:31.860 be like for

01:35:33.680 the NFL to

01:35:35.700 allow a woman 0.99

01:35:36.880 to play in

01:35:38.460 the NFL?

01:35:39.160 They say that

01:35:39.440 they do,

01:35:39.880 right?

01:35:40.000 They say that

01:35:40.420 they do.

01:35:40.820 Sure.

01:35:41.160 Excuse me,

01:35:41.560 what?

01:35:41.880 Like in

01:35:42.300 theory,

01:35:42.940 someone had

01:35:44.300 a female 0.98

01:35:45.480 kicker tryout

01:35:46.460 I think one

01:35:47.020 year.

01:35:47.940 No, no, no.

01:35:48.820 We had a girl

01:35:49.320 play on a

01:35:50.460 high school

01:35:50.800 team that my

01:35:52.040 son played

01:35:52.520 on, or

01:35:52.940 attempted to

01:35:54.000 play on.

01:35:54.400 And let

01:35:54.880 them compete.

01:35:56.240 And she

01:35:56.640 came on the

01:35:57.780 team, played

01:35:58.940 for about

01:35:59.840 six practices,

01:36:01.200 and decided

01:36:01.980 that she

01:36:02.380 wanted to

01:36:02.840 participate in

01:36:03.580 another sport.

01:36:04.320 Imagine, I

01:36:04.960 mean, how

01:36:05.420 can you

01:36:05.840 possibly say

01:36:07.400 that they

01:36:07.760 have to

01:36:08.160 compete against

01:36:09.240 males? 0.84

01:36:10.400 You're just,

01:36:11.200 I mean, we

01:36:11.600 have to even

01:36:12.220 the playing

01:36:12.760 field.

01:36:13.320 That's not

01:36:13.720 right.

01:36:15.120 Right?

01:36:15.680 That's not

01:36:16.000 right.

01:36:16.540 So we have

01:36:17.220 to even

01:36:17.580 the playing

01:36:18.080 field.

01:36:18.380 We have

01:36:18.720 to have a

01:36:19.180 certain number

01:36:19.740 of women

01:36:20.280 playing football.

01:36:21.820 Imagine one

01:36:22.620 of them get

01:36:23.140 hit really

01:36:24.320 hard, really

01:36:25.960 hard.

01:36:26.440 how the

01:36:27.360 media would

01:36:27.940 react to

01:36:28.680 the guy

01:36:29.380 who hit

01:36:31.100 her, I 0.97

01:36:31.960 mean, in

01:36:32.260 the lineup.

01:36:32.940 Well, if we're

01:36:33.760 going to even

01:36:34.100 it out, then

01:36:34.520 we've got to

01:36:34.880 change the

01:36:35.220 rules a little

01:36:35.620 bit to make

01:36:36.060 it even

01:36:36.540 easier.

01:36:37.120 Oh, okay,

01:36:37.660 good.

01:36:38.060 And to be

01:36:38.680 honest here,

01:36:39.480 at least MTV

01:36:40.220 is being

01:36:40.600 consistent.

01:36:41.600 Because, look,

01:36:42.180 we all

01:36:42.500 understand that,

01:36:44.200 I mean, you

01:36:44.480 just judge it

01:36:45.340 by track and

01:36:45.960 field, where

01:36:46.900 male times are 0.83

01:36:48.460 much lower than

01:36:49.120 female times. 0.85

01:36:49.760 There's a

01:36:50.060 statistical

01:36:50.500 measure, you

01:36:51.500 don't have to

01:36:52.060 argue it,

01:36:52.460 there's no way

01:36:53.080 to argue it,

01:36:53.660 right?

01:36:54.000 So that's why

01:36:54.680 they split

01:36:55.080 them, and

01:36:55.360 you can at

01:36:55.660 least understand

01:36:56.180 that.

01:36:56.900 There is

01:36:57.260 absolutely no

01:36:58.060 reason to

01:36:58.600 split men

01:36:59.000 and women

01:36:59.300 when it

01:36:59.540 comes to

01:36:59.780 acting, if

01:37:00.900 you don't

01:37:01.140 believe in

01:37:01.580 gender, right?

01:37:03.280 Men and

01:37:03.900 women, female 1.00

01:37:04.620 actresses,

01:37:05.560 actresses,

01:37:06.840 absolutely have

01:37:08.420 had much

01:37:09.160 better performances

01:37:09.960 than male

01:37:10.360 actresses.

01:37:10.620 But what

01:37:10.900 they will say

01:37:11.560 is if you

01:37:12.120 only give

01:37:12.740 one, as

01:37:13.840 opposing to

01:37:14.380 give one to

01:37:15.260 each category,

01:37:16.620 you are going

01:37:17.340 to say,

01:37:17.800 they're going

01:37:18.080 to say,

01:37:18.700 eventually, if

01:37:19.500 there's a

01:37:19.880 whole bunch

01:37:20.240 of men,

01:37:20.940 or, well,

01:37:21.620 never happen if

01:37:22.220 a whole bunch

01:37:22.540 of women do, 1.00

01:37:23.160 but if a whole

01:37:23.860 bunch of

01:37:24.260 men win

01:37:24.960 three times

01:37:25.760 in a row,

01:37:26.700 they're going

01:37:27.240 to say,

01:37:27.700 this isn't

01:37:28.260 fair, they're

01:37:28.740 just bigots,

01:37:30.140 they're going,

01:37:30.980 right?

01:37:31.360 Of course

01:37:31.940 they will.

01:37:32.760 If they did

01:37:33.300 three years in

01:37:35.260 a row of

01:37:35.700 women, they 1.00

01:37:36.200 would say how

01:37:36.800 enlightened they

01:37:37.520 are.

01:37:37.880 And this is

01:37:38.320 why, perhaps,

01:37:40.520 trapping

01:37:40.860 yourself in

01:37:41.580 fake arguments

01:37:42.600 about tolerance

01:37:43.960 is not a good

01:37:44.880 idea, because

01:37:46.040 you can't

01:37:46.580 unravel yourself

01:37:47.400 from them.

01:37:48.460 There is no

01:37:49.060 way to be

01:37:49.780 consistent, because

01:37:50.600 the points you're

01:37:51.320 making aren't

01:37:52.000 real.

01:37:52.380 And, you

01:37:54.280 know, it's

01:37:55.320 like how they

01:37:55.760 always talk

01:37:56.160 about this

01:37:56.540 with, you

01:37:57.160 know, if

01:37:57.580 you're a

01:37:58.200 liar.

01:37:58.520 Jeffy, you'd

01:37:58.940 understand this.

01:38:00.120 If you're a 0.88

01:38:00.900 huge liar, and 0.94

01:38:02.060 you're constantly

01:38:02.660 lying to everyone

01:38:03.660 around you, it's

01:38:04.380 hard to keep

01:38:05.120 track of all

01:38:05.900 the lies, and

01:38:06.660 eventually you

01:38:07.320 trip up and

01:38:08.000 threw it up.

01:38:09.220 You can't do

01:38:09.780 it.

01:38:10.240 Well, and

01:38:11.640 Jeffy will tell

01:38:12.140 you this, but

01:38:12.760 when it comes to

01:38:13.960 these ridiculous

01:38:15.080 social justice

01:38:16.800 issues, you

01:38:18.020 can't keep them

01:38:19.740 consistent.

01:38:20.120 You can't do

01:38:21.040 it, because

01:38:21.640 they're all

01:38:22.160 ridiculous.

01:38:23.720 We all want

01:38:24.300 it.

01:38:24.400 What they do

01:38:25.220 is they'll

01:38:25.600 say, come

01:38:26.260 on, come

01:38:27.620 on, we're

01:38:28.000 not talking

01:38:28.800 about women

01:38:29.660 and men

01:38:31.260 weightlifters.

01:38:32.460 Come on, you're

01:38:32.980 just bringing it

01:38:33.720 to the ridiculous,

01:38:35.320 that's what they

01:38:35.960 say.

01:38:36.800 When they get

01:38:37.900 trapped in

01:38:39.880 logic, then

01:38:41.160 they say, well,

01:38:41.880 that's ridiculous,

01:38:42.560 because that's

01:38:43.020 not going to

01:38:43.440 happen.

01:38:44.160 That's just

01:38:44.500 not going to

01:38:44.960 happen.

01:38:45.020 But then you're

01:38:46.060 prioritizing.

01:38:48.280 For instance,

01:38:48.760 a baker who

01:38:52.100 doesn't want to

01:38:53.620 make a cake

01:38:54.120 because of

01:38:55.060 religion, well,

01:38:56.660 that's just

01:38:57.080 going to, you

01:38:57.420 know what, you

01:38:57.880 have to go

01:38:58.360 after those

01:38:58.800 guys, otherwise

01:38:59.840 there's going to

01:39:00.520 be people who

01:39:01.540 will use that

01:39:02.460 excuse, okay?

01:39:04.460 You'll be like,

01:39:04.880 no, no, they

01:39:05.580 won't, and it's

01:39:06.880 easy.

01:39:07.520 If they have a

01:39:08.960 record of going

01:39:09.820 to church and

01:39:10.440 that's their

01:39:11.100 value system, I

01:39:12.740 mean, it's really

01:39:13.280 pretty easy to

01:39:14.140 spot.

01:39:14.540 First of all, it's

01:39:15.020 a cake, you

01:39:15.420 should get over

01:39:15.840 it, but it's

01:39:16.920 really easy to

01:39:17.600 spot.

01:39:17.740 No, you

01:39:18.420 can't, just

01:39:19.000 one is too

01:39:19.640 bad.

01:39:20.140 Okay, transgendered

01:39:22.000 bathrooms, where

01:39:23.140 everybody gets to

01:39:23.940 go wherever they 0.78

01:39:24.680 want, and you

01:39:25.300 can't say to a

01:39:26.060 guy, get out of 1.00

01:39:26.820 the women's

01:39:27.300 bathroom.

01:39:28.020 What happens if

01:39:28.760 there's a child

01:39:29.420 predator there?

01:39:30.240 What if there's

01:39:30.600 just a pervert that 0.87

01:39:31.960 just likes to

01:39:32.800 listen to women

01:39:33.660 going to the

01:39:34.360 bathroom?

01:39:35.140 Oh, that'll

01:39:36.520 never happen.

01:39:37.860 That's a small

01:39:38.560 percentage of

01:39:39.640 cases.

01:39:39.920 Exactly right.

01:39:41.220 Exactly right.

01:39:42.040 And they win that

01:39:43.660 every single time.

01:39:45.480 Do they?

01:39:46.380 I mean, maybe

01:39:47.080 they do.

01:39:47.660 They do, but I

01:39:49.080 think the good

01:39:49.560 news is, is what

01:39:50.200 you're saying here

01:39:51.280 is it's wearing

01:39:52.500 off.

01:39:53.280 I hope so.

01:39:53.760 I mean, that's

01:39:54.020 what we're talking

01:39:54.480 about.

01:39:54.680 Well, it is, right?

01:39:55.320 I mean, that's

01:39:55.700 why we play

01:39:56.700 comedians already

01:39:57.900 confused, saying

01:39:58.900 stop, help, I'm

01:40:00.400 on your side, but

01:40:01.380 you keep going

01:40:02.080 farther and farther.

01:40:02.720 I can't help you

01:40:03.520 anymore.

01:40:03.920 We got to do an

01:40:04.520 hour of just all

01:40:05.320 that stuff.

01:40:05.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:40:06.620 We just have to do

01:40:07.200 an hour of all of

01:40:08.140 the stuff that we

01:40:08.700 have found in the

01:40:09.520 media, because it's

01:40:10.220 starting to show

01:40:10.700 they're overplaying

01:40:11.360 their hand.

01:40:12.500 The media should

01:40:13.960 not be turning

01:40:14.460 on them.

01:40:15.260 The media should

01:40:15.800 not be making

01:40:16.680 fun of it or

01:40:17.760 joking about any

01:40:19.580 of this stuff.

01:40:20.260 This is all way

01:40:20.980 too serious.

01:40:21.760 You get in

01:40:22.200 trouble if you

01:40:22.760 joke about it.

01:40:23.600 The media and

01:40:24.440 the comedians, the

01:40:25.360 culture is changing,

01:40:27.000 and it's coming

01:40:28.480 back the other

01:40:29.460 direction, which

01:40:31.240 may have taken

01:40:32.840 longer.

01:40:33.480 Think about this.

01:40:34.340 In the 1990s,

01:40:38.700 late 1990s, Ellen

01:40:40.460 had the first gay 0.73

01:40:42.140 relationship on TV,

01:40:44.220 and it set the

01:40:45.780 world on fire, and

01:40:48.340 then it went to

01:40:48.960 Will and Grace, and

01:40:50.440 everybody saw, no,

01:40:51.280 it just has to be

01:40:51.940 funny.

01:40:52.420 It's not about the

01:40:52.980 relationship.

01:40:53.640 It was just, don't

01:40:54.280 jam it down our

01:40:55.120 throat.

01:40:55.980 And so, then it

01:40:57.160 was okay.

01:40:59.240 Now, it's

01:41:00.360 everywhere.

01:41:00.940 Watching TV, you

01:41:02.280 would think that the

01:41:03.280 gay population is

01:41:05.280 85% in this

01:41:06.880 country.

01:41:08.960 You just would.

01:41:10.280 I mean,

01:41:10.820 You can't have

01:41:12.780 any show.

01:41:13.460 You cannot have

01:41:14.420 any show with

01:41:15.320 at least one gay

01:41:17.140 character and one

01:41:18.380 questioning character.

01:41:20.460 But maybe that's

01:41:22.140 just me.

01:41:24.140 And look at where

01:41:25.200 we've gone.

01:41:25.660 We don't have a

01:41:26.260 problem with that.

01:41:27.040 We don't have a

01:41:27.680 problem with that.

01:41:28.780 We're being asked

01:41:29.900 to say the

01:41:32.040 twigs and berries

01:41:33.140 don't count.

01:41:34.680 That chromosomes

01:41:35.400 don't count.

01:41:37.160 They get deleted

01:41:37.660 out of science

01:41:38.580 shows when you

01:41:39.480 mention chromosomes.

01:41:40.500 That's what

01:41:40.980 happened with the

01:41:41.400 Bill Nye show.

01:41:42.180 Yeah.

01:41:42.460 They've edited it

01:41:43.440 out.

01:41:46.120 That's what people

01:41:47.000 have a problem

01:41:47.560 with, and they're

01:41:48.060 overplaying their

01:41:48.740 hand.

01:41:49.360 Thanks, I think,

01:41:50.200 to media.

01:41:51.920 It's speeding

01:41:52.880 this process up.

01:41:53.960 Hello, America.

01:42:10.600 Glad you're here.

01:42:12.120 It is Monday.

01:42:13.540 I hope you feel

01:42:14.840 rested and refreshed.

01:42:15.920 We have a good

01:42:16.560 week stacking up

01:42:18.260 in front of us.

01:42:19.500 What are the big

01:42:20.280 highlights?

01:42:20.720 Any big highlights

01:42:21.580 we have to watch?

01:42:22.620 I know we have to

01:42:23.080 watch North Korea

01:42:23.880 this week.

01:42:25.140 Probably a lot more

01:42:26.080 important than that

01:42:26.660 would be you going to

01:42:27.520 watch Guardians of the

01:42:28.380 Galaxy 2 tonight.

01:42:29.640 Yes.

01:42:29.940 I'm very interested to

01:42:30.800 hear your review.

01:42:31.840 Have you gone yet?

01:42:32.540 I have not.

01:42:33.100 I like the first one

01:42:33.900 a lot, and I don't

01:42:34.840 like superhero movies.

01:42:36.340 You hate these kinds

01:42:37.880 of movies.

01:42:38.400 I've never heard you

01:42:39.100 like a movie like this.

01:42:40.600 Yeah, very rarely.

01:42:41.560 Yeah.

01:42:42.360 And everybody I talked

01:42:43.700 to said, better than

01:42:45.860 the first.

01:42:47.060 I don't like hearing

01:42:47.860 that because my

01:42:48.720 expectations go up.

01:42:50.220 Have you seen it yet,

01:42:51.420 Jeffy?

01:42:51.640 No, I have not.

01:42:52.620 I enjoyed that first

01:42:53.480 one too very much.

01:42:54.680 I've heard it's the

01:42:55.500 worst movie ever made.

01:42:58.020 Thank you, Stu.

01:42:58.620 Oh my, this is

01:42:59.340 terrible.

01:43:00.080 You're going to

01:43:00.500 despise it?

01:43:01.380 Oh, I'm going to

01:43:01.840 go anyway.

01:43:02.680 You're going to go

01:43:03.160 anyway?

01:43:03.440 I'm going to go

01:43:03.860 anyway.

01:43:04.120 But wait a minute,

01:43:04.780 it's not even the

01:43:05.480 same characters?

01:43:06.680 You can see the

01:43:07.540 cameras and the

01:43:08.200 shots the whole time?

01:43:09.220 It's insane.

01:43:10.160 That's crazy.

01:43:12.120 Okay, well I'm going

01:43:12.900 to go anyway and I'll

01:43:13.640 review it tomorrow.
