Summary
Brad Staggs and Chris Cruz join Glenn Beck to discuss President Trump's decision not to be a part of the Paris Climate Agreement, and why it's not about saving the planet, it's about socialism and more redistribution.
Transcript
00:00:05.900
I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, cause we are one.
00:00:18.640
I will be my drum, I have made my choice, we will overcome, cause we are one.
00:00:35.900
The Paris Climate Agreement is about one thing.
00:00:41.140
Not green energy, not the environment, it's about green.
00:00:44.280
It's about green money, green backs, that's what it's about.
00:00:47.880
People can pretend it's about saving the planet and the future of humanity
00:00:51.760
and the little puppy dogs and birdies and the tufted titmouse,
00:00:57.140
It is about money, it's about some people getting rich.
00:01:00.080
It's about a socialist program to redistribute wealth around the globe.
00:01:04.240
America has had a higher standard of living than most of the world for a very long time.
00:01:10.180
And many years ago, there were people that said,
00:01:12.520
hey, we want to bring everybody together, put them on the same level.
00:01:18.000
Well, you're not going to be able to put everybody on the same level
00:01:20.200
by bringing everybody else up to America's standards.
00:01:28.640
Nobody moved, you don't move everybody else up to that level.
00:01:37.100
Our former president proudly displayed and promoted the idea of redistribution
00:01:45.260
And climate, the climate argument, as much as they want to pretend it's about science,
00:01:51.620
It is another big government program that will control people for the purpose of redistribution.
00:02:00.760
The Paris Climate Agreement is pretty obvious that that's what it's about.
00:02:04.140
Because sure, they talk about, well, we're going to further reduce emissions by 2025.
00:02:11.040
But it also calls for $3 billion from America being paid to other countries.
00:02:18.860
By the way, since when did we become the bank of the world?
00:02:31.040
Because we're the big dog and everybody else says we've got to get what some of they have.
00:02:36.380
And unfortunately, there's a lot of people in America that says,
00:02:41.320
Without any standards, without any control, but as part of a socialist program.
00:02:53.380
I'm from the Morning Blaze and the Blaze Radio Network.
00:02:56.380
You want to find out more about me, I'm joined by Brad Staggs on Twitter.
00:03:02.400
It's at realchriscruz on Twitter if you want to follow him as well.
00:03:06.320
So, coming up today at 3 o'clock, President Trump is supposed to officially say,
00:03:12.860
Not going to be involved in the Paris Climate Agreement.
00:03:16.880
Now, I've been frustrated over the past couple of weeks because
00:03:19.460
he started waffling like maybe he would be part of the Paris Climate Agreement.
00:03:31.540
It was supposed to be one of those, you know, first day in office, first hundred days, whatever
00:03:36.700
I gave him a little bit of a pass over the past couple of weeks because I thought maybe
00:03:40.160
he's floating out this possibility he'd be malleable on it, malleable on it, because
00:03:49.980
He had to put that out there in public and he was really working something else.
00:03:56.480
I don't know what got him there, but today at 3 o'clock he's going to say no.
00:04:16.200
Everybody got in a room, essentially, and said, we want everybody to take greater control
00:04:21.820
over anything that affects the environment as we see it, as part of this agreement.
00:04:27.920
And everybody said, okay, we're all in this together.
00:04:34.280
And some of you are going to have to pay for it.
00:05:00.520
We are $20 trillion in debt and maybe $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
00:05:09.740
We just haven't officially gotten it yet, right?
00:05:12.440
We're still running up that tab at lunch and people are going, well, you've got so much,
00:05:17.900
You've got some of these countries that are deep in oil and they're not going to pay their
00:05:22.760
We already pay 22% of the United Nations bills and provided land and everything to have
00:05:29.320
We already have provided all kinds of funds for other climate change initiatives in the
00:05:37.620
And the Paris Climate Agreement was give us another $3 billion.
00:05:51.320
I'm not going to let them get away with this nonsense of pretending that this is about
00:05:56.540
You want to have a discussion about this, scientist?
00:06:02.500
Because he should in no way be connected with science.
00:06:18.080
I could probably sleep my way through a debate with him.
00:06:26.960
How do you argue and continue to argue that you're about science, yet you don't use a scientific
00:06:35.340
And then you start throwing a bunch of other stuff in that doesn't have to do with science.
00:06:39.740
What does the $3 billion have to do with climate change?
00:06:44.200
Well, we've got to help, according to them, I guess, pay for the stopping of climate change in these other countries.
00:06:59.260
That's what it does all these little different things.
00:07:01.160
But the big dog with any of these agreements is the amount of emissions that countries swear
00:07:06.020
that if they abide by this agreement or others like agreements, they will go back to their
00:07:11.700
home countries and they'll say we are going to set new standards in manufacturing and the
00:07:16.700
way citizens live their lives and say you can no longer pollute the earth to this level.
00:07:20.880
In fact, you've got to do some things to scale it back.
00:07:23.660
And those things are always through legislation, through government action, through control.
00:07:30.520
That's good for us because look where it's gotten us so far.
00:07:38.300
In fact, a lot of those countries don't even have to pass the law.
00:07:40.800
They just need some dude that goes, you do what I say.
00:07:48.640
Well, one of the things here, and I'm reading through the bullet points, is, okay, so the
00:07:54.880
They're saying that the climate is getting worse and we're going to drown and all that
00:07:59.400
But one of the bullet points says here, it says, the agreement requires all countries
00:08:03.020
to submit an updated plan that will ratchet up the stringency of the emission by 2020.
00:08:17.140
So that's one of the things I don't understand about this agreement.
00:08:25.320
I mean, on one hand, it's like this is dire consequences.
00:08:28.040
We may have crossed a threshold there's no going back to.
00:08:41.060
If we can't change it, why would we go through all that hassle?
00:08:46.280
Yesterday on Pat and Stu, we gave a little sneak look at the wonderful world of Stu from
00:08:55.820
He had a graph which basically showed the difference between what would happen naturally and what
00:08:59.960
will happen if we abide by all of the Paris climate agreement changes.
00:09:12.020
I mean, so if we do nothing, we are sacrificing 0.05% of quality, I guess.
00:09:18.840
If you want to have credibility, if you're somebody out there that's melting down about
00:09:23.020
the polar ice cap supposedly melting down, we can sit down and we can talk about this
00:09:28.440
stuff, but not if you're going to continue to put things like money on the table that
00:09:33.240
shows it's really not about the science or whatever.
00:09:38.680
And let's actually use the scientific method when discussing it.
00:09:42.820
And by the way, I don't want the earth polluted.
00:09:46.640
I don't want to dive in the Great Lakes and have it be like it was in the 50s and 60s with
00:09:56.520
I'm a person who conserves mainly because I'm cheap.
00:10:07.960
But not as forced government control, number one, and not as redistribution efforts to
00:10:13.060
give somebody else money, which, by the way, we already provide for and I'm already
00:10:16.940
paying through the nose in every other way for.
00:10:21.100
For example, when it comes to immigration, the tax code, the old child tax credit where
00:10:28.040
you can not actually pay money in to taxes, pay nothing in, but file you have a child,
00:10:35.100
whatever, and you get money back that you didn't pay in.
00:10:37.400
Those are no longer taxes or a tax return or getting money back on your taxes because you
00:10:47.220
So let's stop screwing around and admit what you are and what you want.
00:10:52.100
Otherwise, you're just scamming us on this stuff.
00:10:54.920
And by the way, speaking of scam, look at the people that represent you on the climate change
00:11:09.900
Well, after that, though, he has this gargantuan house that we all know the failures, how he
00:11:16.180
And by the way, even if you do do a little bit, you're still polluting or causing more
00:11:20.380
carbon pollution, as you would say, than most people.
00:11:26.820
If you believe in this stuff and you want to discuss it, fine.
00:11:29.760
But you have to start calling out people like Al Gore and the sacred cows, who are clearly
00:11:34.540
being hypocrites about this stuff, or we're going nowhere.
00:11:38.260
It's a good thing that President Trump is not going to take part in this today.
00:11:48.160
But not if you're not going to be serious about this and not if you're not going to be
00:12:00.780
We'll get some of those coming up next and dive more into the whole fallacy of climate
00:12:05.940
change, or at least man-caused climate change, coming up next on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:34.020
It's a video series that I do that's on all different topics, but this one has specifically
00:12:39.160
to do with climate change, and it just lays out all the facts for you.
00:12:42.660
If you want to educate it, it's only a couple minutes long.
00:12:48.960
Coming up at 2 o'clock this afternoon, I'm going to man the customer service phones at
00:13:07.920
This is part of a greater story that I'm going to share a little bit later of why we're
00:13:26.540
We'll tweet that out as well, but that's 2 o'clock this afternoon.
00:13:31.620
It's the customer service line for theblaze.com.
00:13:48.000
So we have to try to effectively communicate on the air.
00:14:01.980
You trust me to give the customer service phone number.
00:14:04.440
I just didn't have it in front of me, so that was a fail on my part, clearly.
00:14:09.900
We'll get some calls coming up on the Paris climate deal.
00:14:12.640
One of the things that it's going to do is help promote the use of coal and sale of coal,
00:14:19.100
And I know Trump went to the coal belts of West Virginia and Kentucky and places like
00:14:25.360
And people like that supported him for that reason.
00:14:32.080
I mean, we just have seemingly limitless supplies of coal.
00:14:39.480
Most electricity that is manufactured in America still comes from coal.
00:14:45.640
We are deep in coal, of course, natural gas we are, and we do pretty well with oil as
00:14:51.840
There are some oil companies, energy companies that are for the Paris climate deal, which seems
00:15:00.840
Well, these are companies that are not invested so much in coal and are invested in other things.
00:15:06.880
Like solar and wind energy, which would be great if either one of them were a viable
00:15:22.380
So there's not this big thing that's spinning in the way and whatever.
00:15:25.420
I know it's only daytime, but you can store some of the electricity, but you get it right
00:15:31.280
The sun gives a lot of life to the planet anyways.
00:15:41.640
It's better, better than it was in the 70s and 80s.
00:15:44.220
But those solar panels, basically, if you put solar panels on your house and you're doing
00:15:49.360
it for cost cutting, where you get free electricity, by the time you replace those in 15, 20 years
00:15:57.580
Now, if they could bring those solar panels down, cut them in half, you're finally going
00:16:02.400
Well, and the argument is, unless we give incentives to develop the technology behind
00:16:07.620
solar and wind, it will never become a developed and viable source of energy.
00:16:11.720
And the one thing people out there that believe in this man-caused climate change and support
00:16:15.960
all this stuff and money, they say, well, listen, we've been subsidizing coal and oil
00:16:23.960
But we also shouldn't subsidize solar and we shouldn't subsidize any of those things.
00:16:52.880
It's a shell game that ultimately allows them to redistribute the money.
00:17:03.400
I've got three quick points I'd like to throw past you.
00:17:06.840
First, if you want to watch a climate Luddite's head explode, try to introduce solar activity
00:17:18.180
Second, you didn't even touch on the hypocrisy of Al Gore.
00:17:21.360
Al Gore, after he did this chart showing it going off the ceiling, he went over to London
00:17:27.280
and formed a company that trades carbon credits.
00:17:32.460
And real quick to your point, most people don't realize that when they talk about this.
00:17:38.960
It's something they've invented that they want to push in America because they've done it
00:17:42.220
in other parts of the world, like you said, in Europe.
00:17:43.940
It creates a fake commodity for the purpose of just making Al Gore rich.
00:17:52.240
Because all it does is change, moves the guilt around the planet.
00:17:56.140
Well, in the carbon credits, the problem is if they set it up, because it's not a real
00:17:59.700
commodity, we didn't dig gold out of the ground and say each piece of gold is worth
00:18:05.620
It's just something they say, okay, here's a billion carbon credits or whatever it is.
00:18:14.000
But the Al Gore's, the people who are connected.
00:18:21.320
If somebody tells me the climate is not cleaner now, I tell them about when I was a kid and
00:18:25.680
when it snowed, if you wanted to play in white snow, you had to get out there in the first
00:18:30.020
Otherwise, it started turning little black specks and turned gray.
00:18:34.380
And there'd be sludge at the side of the road in July.
00:18:54.780
Chris, who was in his late 20s, was not familiar with the river catching fire multiple
00:18:59.460
It was so polluted that a spark and it just, the burning river.
00:19:06.260
And those things, the Great Lakes are very clean now.
00:19:08.220
They've come light years in terms of being clean.
00:19:18.560
How come we don't hear about those things anymore?
00:19:20.860
Because those were marketing tools to get us to buy into some sort of climate deal.
00:19:27.760
So I started thinking recently about all of these claims of the past, about things that
00:19:44.600
And you may know, as far back as the late 1800s, there were claims of another ice age.
00:19:51.220
I'm sure they've been claiming these things forever.
00:19:53.060
But you can find documented claims that there's another ice age coming in the late 1800s.
00:19:58.800
We know that global climate change at first was global cooling and then global warming and
00:20:08.540
We know the claims that by 10 years ago, we would be underwater, that we'd all be, you
00:20:15.440
know, a fiery, you know, ball in the sky like the sun.
00:20:18.620
And we know all of these things, right, that have been claimed in the past.
00:20:34.320
If it was a success where everything we did fixed that, how come you don't hear the climate
00:20:42.560
How come they haven't come out and said, hey, you see, we did all this stuff.
00:20:50.680
It's at best based on theories that they're never forced to prove.
00:20:57.260
And then the media, back in the day, it was Time Magazine and ABC and NBC and these places,
00:21:03.740
Because think how wonderful it sounded on the news, right?
00:21:07.920
Coming up tonight on ABC News, tonight, what are they called?
00:21:18.180
Do you want your children playing outside when it rains?
00:21:23.460
Nobody wants to get acid falling on their head.
00:21:27.420
And you can find countless examples of Time Magazine with Scare Tactic covers and Newsweek
00:21:40.560
Try to find true pictures of the Pacific Ocean floating garbage pile.
00:21:52.440
And if you've never heard this, this is a claim that's been made from time to time
00:21:55.620
that there is a garbage pile floating in the Pacific Ocean that is about the size of Texas.
00:22:02.340
About six, seven, eight, ten years ago, I was trying to find something to post on Facebook
00:22:12.380
I want a picture like from the air of like all of the garbage the size of Texas as they
00:22:27.180
All the images I found were little pieces of garbage like little beads along the water.
00:22:38.600
Or a couple of random pieces of garbage floating in water.
00:22:42.540
You don't even know if it's the Pacific, let alone an ocean.
00:22:49.980
So all of you people out there that believe this exists, you climate change alarmists out
00:22:54.180
there that believe it, how come none of you can produce or have thought to produce a short
00:22:59.140
little video showing how serious this is by flying over it or sending a drone over it?
00:23:05.920
We're so many miles up and you can see the garbage goes on for the size of Texas in the Pacific.
00:23:13.180
Because it's unsubstantiated claims and it works for them.
00:23:17.440
Now, I've known all that and over, I think it was around Christmas time, I was laying
00:23:36.160
And they start talking because they talked about social issues on the show from time to
00:23:39.520
time about how horrible the world is right now.
00:23:45.320
And one of them mentioned the big garbage pile in the Atlantic that was traveling towards
00:23:58.780
There's an island of sludge that's headed to New York.
00:24:05.240
I remember vaguely, and I looked it up, sure enough, back in the day, they believed that
00:24:25.640
So they claimed the same thing was going on in the Atlantic in the 70s.
00:24:35.800
There's apparently some red sludge from Brazil.
00:24:46.700
All right, we're going to go back to the phone lines, talk about a little more of this fallacy
00:24:49.700
of man-caused climate change and how it's really just about greenbacks.
00:24:53.420
When they say green, they mean green as in money.
00:24:56.300
The president is likely to pull out of that deal or at least announce that he's pulling
00:25:01.080
Of course, we'll keep you up to date here throughout the program.
00:25:03.960
If anything changes, then you can go to TheBlaze.com for details later today.
00:25:15.460
Hey, this environmental question is nothing more than a geopolitical movement caused by
00:25:20.840
two different belief systems that are colliding constantly and we'll never find peace with
00:25:27.680
It's definitely a globalist reach for power and money.
00:25:33.180
At the end of the day, I believe that our environment is going to wipe us out if we try to wipe it
00:25:38.620
It has a natural way of cleaning itself and getting rid of us in the garbage.
00:25:47.280
It's a theological question more than anything.
00:25:49.240
It's about those who believe in a God and those who don't.
00:25:52.120
If you believe in a God, God has given us a responsibility to take care of this earth.
00:25:59.020
We have a responsibility here to make sure that, you know, the plants, the animals are
00:26:06.560
So for those who believe in God, we're not tree huggers, but we do have a responsibility
00:26:12.420
But for those who don't believe in a God, they are panicking because they don't have
00:26:18.440
any, they live in a state of constant fear because there is no God.
00:26:22.580
And if you believe that there's no God, then you will live in a constant state of fear.
00:26:27.220
But at the end of the day, my whole point is, is that the globalist movement that's spreading
00:26:34.760
across the world right now is being beat back by people like Donald Trump.
00:26:38.560
And if it's not for Donald Trump and some of the other nationalistic movements out there
00:26:43.500
in other countries like Britain and other countries that are trying to fight back against
00:26:48.640
this one world government, this is their easy way of trying to get their foot in the door
00:26:54.780
Nate, thanks so much for the call from the Commonwealth of Virginia this morning.
00:27:02.660
The Green Movement has become a religion to many, many people.
00:27:15.560
I don't think anybody likes polluted lakes or streams, but they've just taken it to an
00:27:22.100
Well, we were at the climate change march, whatever, a couple months ago.
00:27:26.820
It was on Earth Day, and we had some fun with that.
00:27:29.460
Not only did we have fun, but we saw Bill Niedersand's guy.
00:27:33.500
I didn't recognize him until he got on stage, but the way he was received, it was like Lady
00:27:47.060
I mean, I knew that some people liked him and probably supported him.
00:27:50.760
It was like, oh my God, they were throwing their panties on stage.
00:27:55.180
I'm just assuming with the frenzy, I'm sure somebody did, maybe a couple of little old
00:27:59.040
But one of the things that we saw, we asked them questions, is all that were given us
00:28:03.340
The same bullet points that we hear on TV, but they could not go any further.
00:28:15.620
Yeah, how can you make, oh, well, there's something working.
00:28:20.040
And ultimately, how does that help the environment?
00:28:21.940
The best, though, was I did a Facebook Live that morning as we're walking just down and
00:28:27.780
there's just this long line of people trying to get into the area where the speechifying
00:28:32.200
And this, again, is that science march around Earth Day that was in Washington, D.C.
00:28:36.260
And I'm just going down the line, and they didn't know where I'm from, where I'm going,
00:28:55.660
You're telling us how horrible things are, but you're willing to fly in.
00:28:59.020
And by the way, just you being there creates more carbon.
00:29:08.540
It gets deleted as long as they stand for the climate.
00:29:14.540
As long as your heart's in the right place, it doesn't count.
00:29:21.280
Remember the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, Before the Flood, that was out last year?
00:29:31.220
But they suggested taking a carbon test, a carbon credit test, whatever it was.
00:29:48.400
A lot of them have a place where you can offset your carbon credit or your carbon creation.
00:29:55.120
Some of them have already factored into your tickets.
00:30:00.760
But it's out there because they want to get the promotion from the greenies.
00:30:04.220
They want them to go, look, that airline cares about me and the environment.
00:30:07.840
But they don't want to lead with it for people like me that are like, wait a minute,
00:30:10.920
you charge me an extra $14 for this stuff or whatever.
00:30:20.020
I wonder why there should be an airline, Greeny Airways, just to see how well it does.
00:30:24.820
Fly Greeny Airways, and we offset all of your carbon footprint.
00:30:32.540
Is it like the Flintstones around the back of the planes?
00:30:41.020
You're not getting the luxury because we've got to scale back to keep it as light as possible.
00:30:45.300
Not turning on the air conditioning in the plane.
00:30:47.180
It's going to be a little warm while you're flying.
00:31:07.920
More details on the Paris Climate Agreement at glennbeck.com.
00:31:12.260
There's also some that claim, and a story up there about some claiming that if Trump breaks this deal, it's a traitorous act of war.
00:31:30.100
When Mitt Romney ran for president, not the time where he just said, okay, John McCain, take it.
00:31:37.520
And I was on this program and laid out the facts about Mitt Romney, and people didn't like to hear the truth so much.
00:31:43.860
I took 10 of the biggest issues, one of them being climate change, and showed what Mitt Romney has supported, and they didn't like the truth because they just wanted anybody but Obama.
00:31:53.040
Mitt Romney supports this stuff because he is progressive.
00:32:02.800
You can check it out for yourself about the traitorous act of war.
00:32:06.600
It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today and tomorrow as well.
00:32:09.460
I am amazed that here we are in, what is today, June 1st.
00:32:13.580
We are now seven months past the election, about seven months past the election, and we cannot get past the election.
00:32:27.780
Yeah, but I mean, first of all, most people have not gotten past it.
00:32:30.560
We're still arguing the election, not what Trump's doing, whatever.
00:32:35.400
Well, if the Russians hadn't have interfered, you know.
00:32:43.580
So yesterday, Hillary, speechifying again, and I don't know if she's just using this to run again or wants to be mayor of New York,
00:32:50.480
but again, talked about the election, took full responsibility by blaming other people.
00:32:55.680
I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost.
00:33:08.700
Really, Hillary, you don't, do you not hear yourself?
00:33:11.880
I know we hear ourselves differently because you're hearing through your head that other people hear you,
00:33:17.340
but at least the text you're not getting, I take full responsibility for everything except that.
00:33:25.380
I have some buck stops here, but I'm not to blame.
00:33:33.240
Here's Hillary once again taking full responsibility by not.
00:33:35.860
Look, I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost.
00:33:41.400
So I think it's important that we learn the real lessons from this last campaign,
00:33:46.140
because the forces that we are up against are not just interested in influencing our elections and our politics.
00:33:53.440
They're going after our economy, and they're going after our unity as a nation.
00:33:59.180
So, yes, back in 98, look, I have been watching this and been, you know, obviously the target for a number of years.
00:34:11.100
She went on to blame the DNC and everybody else connected with it.
00:34:17.860
Well, it's fun because she says that she inherit nothing, only bankruptcy from the DNC.
00:34:26.720
Well, she got their support, but the data operation that she inherited was bankrupt on the verge of insolvency.
00:34:38.460
Okay, so she takes full responsibility by blaming everybody and anybody that she can,
00:34:44.880
and she clearly has not gotten over the election.
00:34:47.920
It had nothing to do with the fact that she was Secretary of State when four people were killed on her watch,
00:34:54.340
the fact that the Clinton Foundation basically just was a travel fund for her, Chelsea, and Bill,
00:35:01.500
the fact that her husband is a dirtbag, the fact that she's a progressive, the fact that,
00:35:05.960
I mean, go down the list of all of her failures, nothing to do with any of that.
00:35:10.580
The guys in Macedonia, they're running fake news sites.
00:35:14.520
It may be the DNC's fault, because they're the ones who told people she was running.
00:35:20.860
Because she would have had a better shot if they didn't know she was running.
00:36:22.460
Sadly, we are just not able to get beyond the last election.
00:36:28.860
Even 2000, the contested election of George W. Bush, who was an illegitimate president,
00:36:44.260
But for some reason, we cannot get beyond this.
00:36:52.860
I've never seen somebody win and keep protesting.
00:37:10.160
So, you had the whole confefe thing the night before, and people are still melting down about
00:37:20.580
Trump then tweets out in response to Hillary, because clearly Hillary has not gotten beyond
00:37:25.480
Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible
00:37:30.520
candidate, hits Facebook, and even Dems and DNC.
00:37:38.780
Now, he could even be using this as a tactic, right?
00:37:46.200
But there's been so much of this stuff that has been less about that and more about Hillary.
00:37:50.440
It's like, dude, just seriously, just get over it.
00:38:03.320
But he already said he's not doing anything about it, so drop it.
00:38:10.380
Now, there's going to be a lot of people to support him and say, oh, you don't understand
00:38:12.340
he's tweaking them and messing with them and it's working or whatever.
00:38:16.580
There's been so much where he keeps bringing up not just Hillary, but still how big the
00:38:21.960
inauguration was and how his ratings are and all this stuff.
00:38:36.180
Hillary then responds, people in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe.
00:39:04.460
Like if I went out and started being a whiny speechifier.
00:39:12.920
Hillary then could say, hey, doc, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:39:26.140
Or let's say I decided to help like four Americans get killed in a place like Benghazi.
00:39:43.320
Or let's say I wanted to start some sort of global foundation that would just take money
00:39:47.160
from people and not help people like, say, in Haiti.
00:39:52.300
Hillary then could stand up and go, hold on a second.
00:40:04.280
You see, if you analyze the joke, it would have been funnier if she had said people in glass
00:40:09.560
houses shouldn't throw covfefe, or if people living in covfefe houses shouldn't throw rocks.
00:40:21.800
People in glass houses shouldn't throw covfefe.
00:40:27.160
And the other part is then when you see it from Hillary, it's still just not funny.
00:40:30.860
Because a lot of jokes you hear, like even if you think about a comedian, you're like,
00:40:34.640
You kind of hear their voice or their cadence or whatever.
00:40:37.220
When I hear it, I hear, right, that's all that comes across.
00:41:15.620
So she's like, people in cafefe houses, you're right.
00:41:48.740
They were both around the same age, weren't they?
00:41:58.020
She's been doing the whole speeches and colleges and stuff like that.
00:42:01.180
Did you guys see that whole coughing thing that she went through?
00:42:06.380
And by the way, on that conference, she was, oh, oh, oh.
00:42:10.300
The whole time, I'm like, you might want to get that checked out.
00:42:18.060
Well, there was a speculation she was going to run for mayor of New York.
00:42:27.360
From secretary of state, you go to mayor of New York.
00:42:30.840
I know New York is a big deal, but is that really something?
00:42:34.580
Well, I mean, it's on the par because it is such a big city.
00:42:38.260
I mean, I think there's seven and a half million in the city.
00:42:40.600
It's bigger than some constituencies for governors or senators.
00:42:45.560
But anything less than the White House is a constant,
00:42:52.640
Everything is like, oh, the mayor of New York because you lost the president.
00:42:58.140
It's like Hillary Clinton, mayor of New York because she lost the White House.
00:43:02.520
Well, her alternative is to sit at home on the porch with Bill.
00:43:21.540
So they split up after his most recent transgressions and it got whatever.
00:43:25.300
But now, and did they actually get a divorce or were getting a divorce?
00:43:29.400
She filed for divorce, but then she invited him back to live back in the house.
00:43:33.880
Yeah, I think he said he was going to go into rehab.
00:43:37.640
And I remember seeing the pictures for the rehab.
00:43:40.780
Oh, it was a beautiful ranch and he's horseback riding.
00:43:47.660
And I was like, wow, this is quite the punishment.
00:43:57.080
Yeah, now the last one's the one that got him, the 15-year-old.
00:44:00.440
And just the creepy factor, the baby laying next to him or whatever.
00:44:07.400
So last week, before he took some time off this week, Glenn Beck had a big company-wide
00:44:14.500
meeting and laid out some future plans that he has for us.
00:44:19.060
We discussed it on our morning radio broadcast, TheBlaze.com.
00:44:22.460
He talked about some of the things that he's working on and kind of brought into focus all
00:44:27.540
these different ideas that he's had and what the future is.
00:44:36.280
He's a futurist, loves technology, loves to look at that stuff.
00:44:39.140
And some really interesting ideas and a way to look at stuff, especially when you see
00:44:43.520
all the struggles that we've had with splintering of the right and Republicans and, you know,
00:44:53.440
Well, as part of this meeting, Glenn says, hey, what would be really cool is if a lot of
00:44:59.560
you that are like newer to the company, especially, or maybe people you've been here, that if you
00:45:03.280
really don't know our audience, you've got to meet our audience.
00:45:06.900
And he goes, you know, it's different if, you know, you're on the air or whatever, because
00:45:11.180
like Brad and I, Chris, you know, we'll come in contact with the audience.
00:45:19.880
He goes, but a lot of you probably don't interact with our, you come to work, you write
00:45:24.920
stories, you do something, you produce something, you go about it.
00:45:27.040
He goes, so what would be really interesting is if some of you went up and spent some time
00:45:34.520
Also notice the complaint lines, customer service phones.
00:45:38.320
Not that, I mean, they're really dead because there's no complaints, I'm sure.
00:45:54.900
I'll listen to his, I mean, I'll, I mean, I'm looking forward to that.
00:46:08.300
The first response was, you think he was serious about that?
00:46:12.320
I was like, yeah, I think he was probably pretty serious.
00:46:17.200
So today at 2 Eastern, we're going to man the lines.
00:46:24.160
We'll let the cat out of the bag as much as we can.
00:46:40.820
But once we bust out the rum and also the food, we think they're going to be acceptable to us hanging out with them for a while.
00:46:59.980
But I'll tweet out a link to the number as well.
00:47:02.680
I think we're probably going to try to do this next week a couple days, too.
00:47:13.500
I don't know where he is, so he's not probably going to be on.
00:47:22.420
So I'm like, hey, go ahead and you just put your name so you can go up because, you know, you've got to kind of coordinate it there.
00:47:32.920
I believe in Glenn Beck's message and his vision.
00:47:35.080
Moving forward that we, too, can join together and create good.
00:47:48.220
It's out on the glass out in the main lobby there.
00:47:58.120
Please follow me and we'll tweet out the number.
00:47:59.540
So two to roughly three Eastern times will man the customer service phone.
00:48:07.260
I think it's more of a just gently listening as a shoulder to cry on.
00:48:12.600
I'm going to listen to, you know, he's like, blah, blah.
00:48:36.960
It's the Blaze Brad on Twitter if you want to follow him.
00:48:42.080
TMB listener number Q10 tweeting, try the Hillary excuse with your boss.
00:48:56.900
Peter Cobb tweeting, at Doc Thompson's show, occupation, climate change scientist?
00:49:10.140
Jen tweeting, Nat Geo is saying that the ozone hole is almost closed.
00:49:17.240
But then she went on to mention that, but that may also be bad for us now.
00:49:26.480
I don't know what's perfect, but you got to get right in the meaty area.
00:49:38.240
And that's the reason we need to redistribute our funds around the world.
00:49:42.840
They came out now and said that it's closing, but that may be bad for us.
00:50:00.940
You have the stories that come out during television sweeps where it's like, new report
00:50:08.420
And then it's the thing about wine and whatever.
00:50:11.420
It's just, again, something that'll sell newspapers.
00:50:22.560
Let me go study, you know, phalluses for ducks.
00:50:27.040
So LeBron James supposedly had his property in Los Angeles vandalized.
00:50:44.960
So he came out and talked a little bit after his game about being black in America.
00:50:50.680
And I have just a little clip of his speechifying to play for you.
00:50:54.780
No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people
00:51:01.700
admire you, you know, being black in America is tough.
00:51:14.960
You know, for us as a society and for us as African Americans until we feel equal in
00:51:36.280
Everybody else that's not black, it's not tough for you.
00:51:41.780
Listen, if you're white, Asian, Native American, Hispanic, it's not tough for you.
00:51:52.560
When he said that, is he including himself on that, that as a black man, life is tough?
00:52:00.780
He goes, it doesn't matter how famous you are, how liked you are, how much money you
00:52:24.680
So you were kind of an American, but not a real American.
00:52:32.020
Would you trade your race if you got the $300 million?
00:52:51.680
When you came here, did they make you take a test, learn English?
00:53:00.260
So, Brad, would you trade races for $300 million?
00:53:13.020
The part that bothers me about all this, no matter how many people admire you,
00:53:23.500
How are you kept down and how is it being kept down?
00:53:27.580
Your attitude is, you live in a racist place in America.
00:53:32.080
America's racist, therefore, racism, they don't like you, or there are problems.
00:53:36.300
Well, half of your problems are taken away because of money, and then the other half
00:53:42.700
So, you wouldn't, for $300 million, you wouldn't trade races?
00:53:49.980
I mean, you'd give me $300 million, I'd do it for $3 million.
00:53:53.780
I mean, I wouldn't be Hispanic for $3 million, don't get me wrong, but most other races, I
00:54:25.920
I just found out how hard it is for black people.
00:54:33.260
I already have all the downsides with none of the upsides.
00:54:37.800
I don't have the intelligence or any of this stuff or whatever, but I have to deal with
00:54:45.060
So, I mean, but I feel like with $30 million, if I was Asian, I could hire a driver.
00:54:52.400
So, back in a moment with more on the Glenn Beck program.
00:55:03.260
So, even during off the air, during the commercial break, we were discussing the LeBron James situation
00:55:22.000
and a bunch of people that work on the staff here are commenting on it, whether or not that
00:55:31.720
If somebody vandalizes your property, it doesn't matter what they put.
00:55:36.880
And if you're putting a racial slur or anything that's trying to just be a jerk, a bully,
00:55:44.560
And, of course, that's not going to be nice or fun for LeBron James or his family to see
00:56:08.520
Around here, there's a couple people, but that's not based on their race.
00:56:11.440
That's just based on the fact that they're jerks.
00:56:19.160
Some people, you likely will be given a raw deal because of your race, and some people are
00:56:25.880
Ugly, stupid, handicapped, whatever it is, where you are not able to perform at the same
00:56:46.860
You've been given more than most people, even white people on this planet.
00:56:51.360
First of all, born in America, you've been given more than most people.
00:56:59.440
You could have come out and said something like, hey, there are racist people out there.
00:57:05.480
The guy was a jerk, but America's been pretty good to me.
00:57:12.100
The more, in some ways, we continue this narrative of constantly bringing this stuff up, the worst
00:57:33.700
Things like race are also influenced by education, economic situation.
00:57:39.360
We're big supporters of the entrepreneurial spirit on The Morning Blaze.
00:57:42.520
If you're not familiar with the program, go to theblaze.com slash doc.
00:57:45.520
If you tweet with the hashtag Building America and you have a business, we scroll through
00:57:50.300
those and we'll set up just free interviews that end up promoting your business because
00:57:57.160
Joining us now, Martin Lindstrom, the author of Small Data, The Tiny Clues That Uncover Huge
00:58:06.300
Well, I love the idea of trends and people who talk about trends because that's really
00:58:11.680
what it takes if you're in business or even if you're just promoting yourself at work
00:58:17.240
If you know trends, you know where to fish, right?
00:58:21.640
Absolutely, and I think what it helps you to do is to be one step ahead of everyone else.
00:58:27.920
So it's a matter of picking up those small clues around you and then basically translate
00:58:32.540
that into a new direction five minutes before everyone else realizes this is a direction,
00:58:40.200
Give me some example of some of the trends that you think are on the horizon.
00:58:44.180
Well, I think there's three challenging trends.
00:58:48.880
The first trend is that we are not present anymore, and that will be the next big trend.
00:58:55.300
And be honest here now, Doc, but have you tried that you're standing in a bar, you're
00:58:58.760
waiting for someone to show up, the person is late, and the first thing you do is to grab
00:59:03.600
your phone and do something with it, anything with it, so you don't look like it.
00:59:13.300
I mean, when I go to church, I will do that if they're late with the sermon.
00:59:19.940
If you're bored for a second at the doctor's office or anything, the phone's on, right?
00:59:24.460
Exactly, and that is the issue because there's three major consequences of this.
00:59:28.540
The first thing is we don't connect with people anymore.
00:59:31.080
I mean, I spoke to a bartender the other day, and he told me he never speaks to his customers
00:59:37.960
The second thing is we don't see things anymore.
00:59:40.420
We don't observe things anymore, which is a bit bad because that's where we learn, but
00:59:46.920
We never get bored anymore, and boredom or that pause in our life is the foundation for
00:59:54.680
So what we're seeing happening right now is that being present is disappearing, and the
01:00:00.380
counterbalance to that will really be us being more present.
01:00:06.360
They are, actually right now, going more in theaters.
01:00:14.840
So the next big trend is really to be present, and people will pay a fortune to be present
01:00:25.660
So if your mind is occupied on all this stuff that we have to think about, and we have a
01:00:31.320
I mean, just trying to remember all the codes for all your passwords for your computer and
01:00:34.820
everything, and all of this stuff we have to do.
01:00:37.120
So everybody's got to be on social media and multiple platforms and all of this.
01:00:41.040
If your mind is filled with all that stuff, you're not going to have time to just think,
01:00:45.920
huh, what could I do that would be creative in this area?
01:00:50.980
No, when I wrote the book Small Data, no, I actually wrote it in a swimming pool, and
01:00:57.420
But I would have thought the papers would get wet, or the computer would short out.
01:01:07.520
It'll be the rage for writing books in swimming pools.
01:01:14.360
And the water moment, some people have in water, some people have it on the shower, some people
01:01:27.200
You actually need to have a break with yourself.
01:01:29.460
And that moment will help you to reflect on things.
01:01:35.180
The first thing we do when we wake up in the morning is to grab our phone, right?
01:01:41.000
And let me just remind you, the main purpose of, well, to be in the bed is two purposes,
01:01:51.520
We did a study the other day with young kids, boys from the age of 15 to 18 years of age.
01:01:59.540
One third of these young kids were on the phone in the shower, right?
01:02:10.200
And then what's happening is we're doing our work in the bathroom.
01:02:14.780
We're doing our work when we have our breakfast.
01:02:17.300
We're doing our work on the way to work in our car.
01:02:19.720
And then we do our private stuff at work, right?
01:02:23.140
But what's so fascinating about this and scary is we never have a transformation moment anymore.
01:02:28.600
We never transform from one state of mind to another.
01:02:31.020
And you know what's happening with your computer.
01:02:37.560
And we all know if we don't do it, it gets slower.
01:02:43.880
So we need to create these transformational points in our lives to become more creative,
01:02:49.240
to become more present, and actually to connect with people more.
01:02:57.760
And I think one of the things you have to do is to find your personal water moment,
01:03:03.020
and that helps you to pause for a second or two during the day.
01:03:08.120
And I'm familiar with some CEOs that do something called creative fitness, basically,
01:03:14.040
where they'll have a logic problem that they have to solve,
01:03:18.280
and they'll go off and do something like knitting,
01:03:20.660
something that uses the other side of the brain.
01:03:29.980
It's actually called the chicken cage syndrome.
01:03:36.180
which showed that if you put a chicken into a cage,
01:03:40.900
and you one day open the gate, and you sort of push that chicken out,
01:03:44.500
the chicken will walk out on this beautiful green grass with the birds singing,
01:03:48.700
and after 10 seconds, it will go 180 degrees back into the cage.
01:03:55.100
And we're all more or less suffering from that,
01:03:57.340
particularly when our daily life is so packed with duties,
01:04:00.940
where we almost act like robots, because we have no space to be different.
01:04:05.000
So what the CEOs are doing, what these creative talents are doing,
01:04:08.700
is to free themselves up from going back to the chicken cage
01:04:14.540
And I think in many ways, coming back to the small business theme,
01:04:17.980
I think this is in many ways what a business leader has to do,
01:04:21.260
because this is the way you point out a trend before everyone else.
01:04:28.400
well, it's a little bit like you can't see the forest with just trees.
01:04:33.040
But if you jump out of that angle and see the world completely differently,
01:04:39.420
And I think, I guess the best way to illustrate that
01:04:42.260
is really to take you back to a brand like Lego.
01:04:48.380
So in 2013, 2012, the Lego company was close to bankruptcy.
01:04:59.700
there was something called the instant gratification generation.
01:05:02.980
It was these young kids had no patience for anything whatsoever.
01:05:06.840
So of course, they wouldn't have the time to play with Lego bricks.
01:05:10.700
The executives are basically concluding, using big data and all this stuff,
01:05:20.360
so you can build a castle in a Lego in half an hour rather than six hours.
01:05:34.640
Now, what you normally would have done then is to think,
01:05:37.560
well, let's create more big blocks and stuff like that.
01:05:43.220
And the way they did that was to move into young kids' bedrooms, literally.
01:05:49.080
So they end up in the home of an 11-year-old kid, a German kid.
01:06:04.660
And on the shelf, there's an old, worn-down pair of sneakers.
01:06:07.360
And, of course, the team from Lego is completely perplexed.
01:06:10.920
They thought he would say Sony PlayStation or Nintendo or something.
01:06:19.200
And the kid is replying back, well, I'm the best skater in town.
01:06:22.300
But the evidence I have for my friends is the wear and tear on the side of the sole.
01:06:28.220
You see, when you're a really good skateboarder, you slide down this skateboard,
01:06:33.820
and it creates a wear and tear on the side of the sole.
01:06:36.400
And exactly that angle indicates that I'm number one.
01:06:40.340
And, of course, the team from Lego realized that very second that this is the revolution for Lego.
01:06:46.160
This is the answer which is turning around Lego.
01:06:48.780
Because what they realize is if these kids have tens, if not hundreds, if not thousands of hours of time
01:06:54.620
to fine-tune the angle of the sole on a sneaker,
01:06:58.760
why wouldn't they have thousands of hours to play with Lego?
01:07:01.800
So out of this, they change the size of the Lego bricks back to the tiny bricks.
01:07:06.100
They invent the Lego movie, which, as you know, two years ago was number two in the U.S.
01:07:10.360
And they also team up with Harry Potter and Star Wars.
01:07:12.860
And today's Lego not only the number one toy brand in the world,
01:07:17.000
just recently was announced to be the biggest brand in the world.
01:07:21.460
And all of that began with an old, worn-down pair of sneakers.
01:07:25.000
And this is really my message to both of you guys and all the listeners,
01:07:33.880
You have to go out of that chicken cage and start to pick up what I call small data.
01:07:38.480
And these are really seemingly insignificant observations you pick up in the daily lives,
01:07:43.360
which actually, each of them, represent an amazing opportunity or a trend
01:07:49.120
which just no one has seen because they're too busy on the smartphones.
01:07:56.100
And the book is Small Data, The Tiny Clues That Undercover Huge Trends.
01:07:59.640
The Lego Story is just one of many like that that's going to help you
01:08:02.300
as you look for future trends to brand yourself,
01:08:05.660
help your family, or start a business or further your business.
01:08:31.920
Okay, tweeted out the links to Martin Lindstrom's book, Small Data.
01:08:38.980
You have to get that time away where you can just walk around
01:08:46.440
To that point, if I remember right, the story of the guy or people who mapped the human genome,
01:08:53.760
at least the idea and how they would do it, he got while just driving down the road on a fall day
01:08:59.220
and the leaves were blowing and somehow the leaves and the way they were connected made him think about how to do it.
01:09:07.220
Brad, where do you think we're going with social media?
01:09:10.380
Here's, and that's probably the trillion dollar question.
01:09:18.020
And everything becomes new again, but it's never exactly in the same way.
01:09:23.400
Anything that becomes new again always has or usually has a new shift, a new focus.
01:09:30.100
Social media is not going away, but I think it is going to shift and we're going to do more things in person.
01:09:35.820
And I don't think it's going to be, all right, turn your phones off.
01:09:39.260
There'll be a bunch of people who claim these getaways and whatever.
01:09:42.820
If we don't turn our phones off because we need them and you're still going to be hanging out with people,
01:09:49.780
And like you said, everything old is new again.
01:09:52.060
That's the way people used to get together in person.
01:09:55.940
And then social media made it easier to stay in contact with people you didn't see all the time,
01:10:03.280
That's where I think face to face is where we're going because we didn't go face to face to social media.
01:10:16.480
So I think we're still going to be doing these things.
01:10:18.780
You and I may hang out face to face, be having a meeting like you do now,
01:10:21.960
but I'm engaged with a bunch of people online that are around the globe or whatever else I'm doing.
01:10:31.280
I think, in fact, Stu on this program talked about how dead the mall was right before Christmas.
01:10:42.560
And if you go out to dinner, I mean, they try to get you out of there to flip the tables.
01:10:52.040
Entire generations taught to hang out at coffee shops and use social media.
01:10:56.220
What will our future in-person interaction be and how do we use social media?
01:12:04.140
Filling in for Glenn Beck today on his program.
01:12:10.860
It's at Real Chris Cruz from The Morning Blaze.
01:12:18.280
If you want to find out more about us, go to TheBlaze.com slash Doc.
01:12:31.720
Yesterday, President Trump's spokesperson, press secretary, Sean Spicer,
01:12:42.460
Listen carefully to all the little nuances when he's asked about it.
01:12:46.620
And when he answers, listen to the reaction from the people in the room.
01:12:52.020
I think people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night
01:13:06.020
No, I think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.
01:13:39.600
Mr. President, uh, are you willing to share that with us?
01:13:55.740
I just want to make sure I'm using that properly to say it's a Covfefe day.
01:14:07.900
You know, I can define Covfefe, but I'd rather drink it.
01:14:12.220
I just want to, I just want to say one very, very important thing.
01:14:18.040
Jared Kushner, Jared Kushner, he's been in the news a great deal recently.
01:14:22.720
I just want to say this because, you know, you have such a tremendously huge audience.
01:14:30.960
I've, I'm not really sure what he does here at the White House.
01:14:33.640
I've only seen him at a few meetings and speaking once or twice to Ivanka.
01:14:43.540
Well, I'm glad you clarify that because he's been in the news, you know, supposedly some
01:14:58.820
I have no idea what he could sound like Mickey Mouse for all I know.
01:15:02.560
So my question is, there's a small group of people that really get the nuances of Covfefe.
01:15:09.100
Are you at liberty to say who those people are?
01:15:19.480
I told you it was the guys that were holding the orbs.
01:15:23.640
And I found out, you know, that orb takes you to another place in time.
01:15:29.840
And it's kind of one of these things where you're suddenly back in history and all this
01:15:36.840
And by the way, by the way, it's such an amazing word.
01:15:44.920
That's the beauty of this tremendous, tremendous word that was given to me by the people who
01:15:53.600
Now, Michael Palka, who has appeared on this program, in fact, he'll be filling in a couple
01:15:59.340
days next week, and he does Noon to Three on the Blaze Radio Network right after this
01:16:04.620
He suggested the other day that that may be, and how can I put this delicately, a private
01:16:10.400
word that you share with Melania that may or may not reference one of your or her body
01:16:28.840
It's going to be very, very manly, like Willie or Johnson or something like that.
01:16:37.280
So it's not something you would share in an intimate moment with your wife.
01:16:41.400
And unfortunately, I haven't really had any intimate moments recently.
01:16:44.480
She seems very angry at me, and I can't figure out why.
01:16:47.280
I'm the president of the United States, leader of the free world, and she's always angry
01:16:52.780
You know, we didn't need to have a chance to talk to you last...
01:16:56.520
I can rule the world, but I can't figure out chicks.
01:17:02.120
So we didn't have a chance to talk to you last week after you came back from your long
01:17:11.560
Was that the single most successful presidential trip in the history of presidential trips?
01:17:24.580
And by the way, by the way, is anyone Jewish in the studio?
01:17:49.000
Well, they told me they were there thousands of years ago when Israel was underwater.
01:17:58.800
I got to keep the little beanie that they gave me, which I thought was nice.
01:18:05.960
You know, you stepped to the front of the crowd when the Prime Minister of Montenegro was there.
01:18:09.900
And you kind of gave him the, oh, come on, you're Montenegro.
01:18:23.660
And by the way, by the way, that guy had dandruff.
01:18:29.220
It looked to me like you were saying, hey, you know,
01:18:31.280
the cool countries up front, Montenegro, you're lucky we let you in the room.
01:18:46.100
I don't know those either, but frankly, you don't know where it is.
01:18:51.520
And I don't think I should be standing around behind a guy...
01:18:54.680
...who sounds like he's an island in the Bahamas.
01:19:03.720
I don't know where Montenegro is, but I bet you there's a bunch of restaurants in that
01:19:11.600
Now, also on your trip, was that right after for Memorial Day where you were singing the
01:19:18.320
And they were playing the national anthem and you sung along right there, even though you're
01:19:27.000
You know, you saw me dancing in Saudi Arabia with the swords.
01:19:32.420
I can sing, I can dance, and I can lead the free world.
01:19:37.560
I just thought it was nice to see a president sing along with the national anthem.
01:19:43.540
I was just saying, he was singing and dancing like a four-year-old.
01:19:46.400
You were kind of moving, yeah, back and forth, grooving.
01:19:53.340
I wouldn't want to lead any other country in the world, especially Montenegro.
01:19:59.260
Well, I mean, if Francis Scott Key, he could put it together.
01:20:01.960
I mean, that's something that's got a snappy beat, and obviously you can dance to it.
01:20:15.480
Okay, coming up today at around 3 Eastern, we've heard that you're going to officially pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
01:20:33.780
So, the Paris Climate Agreement, this is not a good deal.
01:20:36.960
It seemed like you were waffling for a while, but now we're going to be done with this.
01:20:43.540
Anything that's done in Paris, other than like a romantic weekend, is a waste of time.
01:20:47.940
Is it the name that's really throwing you off that it's the Paris Climate Agreement?
01:20:51.280
I mean, if it was like the Trump Climate Agreement or New York, something.
01:20:59.120
I think you know from the beginning of my administration, I love saluting, signing, tweeting, touring.
01:21:05.620
I don't like agreeing with a bunch of other people on climate.
01:21:19.780
And I can't be in charge if everyone else is already in agreement.
01:21:24.700
Well, I'd have to ask you before I'd agree with that.
01:21:26.700
If you're talking about controlling the climate, I mean, do you have control of the thermostat at home?
01:21:35.540
I would kind of throw everything off then a little bit to do whatever.
01:21:38.160
But, hey, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to visit with us, though, and explain what's going on.
01:21:42.980
It's always so incredible, and I'm doing such an amazing job.
01:21:46.640
It's everything in this country is going so great.
01:21:57.200
Have you noticed how much more attractive people are?
01:22:00.560
Since you've been elected, you mean, or sworn in as president?
01:22:02.700
Yeah, have you noticed how happy and attractive people are?
01:22:08.000
That's one of those intangible benefits of my presidency.
01:22:11.980
People are happy and attractive, and a lot of women have been losing weight, which is really tremendous.
01:22:17.320
If you could get Rosie on that, then I think you're talking re-election, you know.
01:22:23.820
You're not talking who I think you're talking about.
01:22:25.760
Yeah, Rosie O'Donnell, if you could get her to shed a few pounds, I think you've got a shoe-in for re-election.
01:22:40.140
All right, well, thanks so much for checking in.
01:23:11.880
Just go to theblaze.com slash doc for more information about our program.
01:23:15.140
Thanks to our buddy John D. Domenico, and we'll tweet out a link to his information there.
01:23:20.940
He's a great guy and real fun, and I'm glad he's doing real well.
01:23:25.280
There's a story at theblaze.com about Joe Piscopo coming out and talking about Kathy Griffin's failures.
01:23:37.100
Lots of the people that have come through Saturday Night Live I didn't think do a good job.
01:23:48.420
I mean, he didn't have as much success as some people, but as far as the string of movies
01:23:54.880
And I guess he has a radio talk show in New Jersey now and is a conservative or more conservative,
01:24:06.340
I'd actually like to meet him, and we'd be willing to talk to him on the air.
01:24:09.040
But his website is either one of the best parodies ever or a complete and utter failure.
01:24:17.200
I cannot figure out if they did it intentionally as a great joke, because, I mean, he's a comedian,
01:24:23.100
you know, or if this is just a failure of website.
01:24:26.620
And we stumbled across it because of this story that's ablaze about Kathy Griffin.
01:24:30.680
We went to his website, and I don't know if he outsourced it to Botswana, that people
01:24:46.660
I mean, everything, even the links to, like, linked stories and products that are sponsoring
01:24:55.320
What to look for when buying the best vacuum sealer for your kitchen.
01:25:00.800
Things to avoid when buying a chicken plucker for sale for that huge entertainment party.
01:25:10.900
There's one about an under-the-counter ice maker.
01:25:15.360
And I would think they're jokes, except within the individual story.
01:25:19.700
There are links to take you to Amazon to buy a chicken plucker.
01:25:23.180
I didn't know there was such a thing, but okay.
01:25:25.040
But when you go through just the different parts, like, there's different categories.
01:25:27.820
Home, media, events, charities, AM 970, the station he's on, about, and contact.
01:25:33.740
We're going to share just some of the little pieces on it here.
01:25:40.640
But his website, I don't know if he's actually read through it.
01:25:43.360
If you outsource somebody, you're like, okay, it's up there.
01:25:45.300
I mean, so under early life, it talks about where he was born and different things.
01:25:50.360
But then it talks about him in high school when he started getting involved in entertainment.
01:25:54.740
He goes, while he was in high school, he was active in the drama club.
01:26:00.280
So he started his ambitions in working in the entertainment field while he was still young.
01:26:13.280
he was well-known for abilities to play the various parts more creatively.
01:26:25.320
By the way, it's Cal who is part of the Morning Blaze as well.
01:26:29.800
If you listen to AM radio, then you have probably heard Joe Piscopo talking on his radio show.
01:26:37.820
This is his talk show where he discusses many different kinds of topics that vary a lot in stories and guests.
01:26:42.360
If you need to listen to a radio show during your morning commute,
01:26:45.220
you really should try and have a listen to Joe Piscopo's AM 970.
01:26:50.680
This radio has got all the current news coverage.
01:26:55.780
Because radio, listen, and Piscopo a whole lot.
01:27:02.420
And you can get to listen to Joe's smooth voice and smart wit while tuning to AM 970.
01:27:20.740
But if you get a chance, we'll send out the link on Twitter.
01:27:28.080
And just outsourced or something and they don't get it?
01:27:32.520
According to the page, it's available on the internet.
01:27:35.940
No, you can listen to Joe Piscopo without fail on his radio show every morning if you go to the radio channel AM 970 on the internet.
01:27:42.400
You can also tune in to his radio show using the internet.
01:27:44.740
There's also a SoundCloud page where you can stream his radio show over the internet.
01:27:48.140
This internet radio stream makes it convenient for you to listen to Joe's radio program on the internet.
01:27:53.360
And you can listen to his program anytime you want on the internet.
01:28:01.480
But did you know that without bringing any harm to the bird, a good chicken plucker for sale will assist in removing the feathers from your birds?
01:28:09.920
The speed and accuracy of this machine to pluck out the feathers of birds are attributed to the sophisticated technology of the machine.
01:28:16.480
The machine plucks out the feathers neatly and executes this task within a short time duration.
01:28:25.120
Well, that's good because you're about to cook them.
01:28:27.700
I'm glad to see how that ties in with the AM 970 radio program of Joe Piscopo.
01:28:34.820
You guys better not refresh your page because I think we just crashed it.
01:28:47.140
Did you screen grab it earlier like I told you?
01:28:51.760
I've got like four or five of the tabs open right now.
01:29:05.000
I think the main one had some, or Cal, you might have as well.
01:29:08.380
And again, I don't even know if Joe knows about it, if it's legit, if you just outsource.
01:29:12.260
And I hope it wasn't like, yeah, my wife put up the site for me or something.
01:29:15.320
Joe Piscopo has got a lot of upcoming events that you can attend.
01:29:18.580
If you need to know the details about his favorite live shows and performances, you can
01:29:24.740
You can see a calendar list of all of his events through this website.
01:29:28.220
So by checking with that calendar, you should be able to know what is going on with Joe Piscopo.
01:29:33.240
You will never need to miss an event at all if you follow Joe Piscopo's career through
01:29:42.600
So all that hard work of constructing those perfectly fine paragraphs, and there's no
01:29:50.860
Fans of Joe Piscopo can certainly know about what all there is to know about whatever show
01:30:01.040
If you need to reach out to Joe Piscopo by mail, you can send snail mail to his address
01:30:06.120
So you can address all physical mail to that location.
01:30:09.540
Be sure to include a return address with your mail if you want Joe to know how to reply
01:30:14.000
Contacting Joe through email would be the most convenient to do so.
01:30:17.260
Email is the fastest way to reach out to Mr. Piscopo.
01:30:19.340
Just be aware that the email address is Joe's representative.
01:30:22.380
Though it may take a while for Joe to get back to you.
01:30:28.240
There's all kinds of like just periods and random middle parts of the sentences.
01:30:44.740
If he wants to call in, we'll set up a time to talk to him.
01:30:47.880
I just think the sights really got me wondering what's going on with him.
01:31:15.140
I'm sure it'll eventually be fixed sometime today.
01:31:17.100
But if you want to have fun, just go through and check it.
01:31:18.960
But it looks like it was one of the standard, like somebody wrote it elsewhere.
01:31:23.680
A friend of mine just sent me a text that he can hear the keywords in there.
01:31:28.480
So it was written by an SEO guy from another country.
01:31:42.760
Are they doing that because the words are mentioned a lot there?
01:31:48.740
So the more you mention the words, if people do keywords for stuff, it'll come up.
01:31:52.720
When you do Google searches for specific words, certain words rank higher than others.
01:31:56.400
So the more you use and the more you list them, it'll rank you higher for that keyword.
01:32:02.000
But if you're looking for Joe Piscopo, you're going to end up at JoePiscopo.com.
01:32:11.100
And plus, he's got a radio show and he's famous.
01:32:17.180
Yeah, because nobody else out there uses the word internet a lot.
01:32:19.700
I think the SEO salesman came along and Joe went, okay, works for me.
01:32:25.140
I mean, amazing amount of typos, spaces in the wrong pace, punctuation wrong.
01:32:36.640
Is there his word that he's going to run for public office?
01:32:38.940
So that was speculation a while ago that he could maybe even run for governor, I think it was.
01:32:53.160
I don't know if that was Joe putting it out there and had a team or if other people just
01:32:57.620
speculated, but you got a guy with a big name who is one of probably the few celebrities
01:33:03.660
that live or have a connection to New Jersey that's not progressive, right?
01:33:08.020
And has a lot of upcoming events that you can attend.
01:33:12.080
If you need details about those favorite shows, you can check out that information
01:33:16.620
So I just retweeted earlier today on our morning broadcast, people were looking for Joe Piscopo
01:33:22.960
Actually, singular if you're using the hashtag.
01:33:31.420
From Denny, he tweeted, a vote for me is a vote for Joe Piscopo.
01:33:39.800
Well, apparently the waters are being tested for Senator Al Franken to run, other SNL alum
01:33:48.720
And had you asked me prior to Donald Trump, I would have said there's no way he gets elected.
01:34:08.160
But can you imagine Al Franken running for president?
01:34:12.640
And for Piscopo, at least the one thing you'd know, he would not be on Twitter all
01:34:18.660
Because when you click on his Twitter link on his website, it goes nowhere.
01:34:23.720
By the way, if you notice, there's a Facebook link that pops out on his website.
01:34:33.960
So when you go to JoePiscopo.com, there's a flash ad that says, like my page.
01:34:49.440
This website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit.
01:34:56.640
That is that whoever he's paying to house his website.
01:35:03.600
We just cost Joe Piscopo an extra hundred bucks a month.
01:35:07.480
Joe's like, how come our web bill went up to $14,000 yesterday?
01:35:15.200
I mean, we paid that guy in Montenegro 12 cents to design it and hosted for 17 years.
01:35:23.920
And I said, I would love to talk to Joe about this stuff.
01:35:29.780
We reached out via snail mail, the email, the internet.
01:35:36.340
Did you find all that contact information at JoePiscopo.com?
01:35:40.160
Oracle of the Matrix tweeting at Doc Thompson Show and at JerseyJoePiscopo, J-R-Z-Y, Joe Piscopo
01:36:04.880
Danny tweeting, the infinite number of monkeys with typewriters missed Hamlet, but made Joe
01:36:15.680
You know the old, you put enough monkeys in a room with typewriters, eventually they'll
01:36:22.120
They're like, we're going to get to Hamlet next.
01:36:31.860
Andy tweeting, I knew it, at Doc Thompson Show and hashtag TMB is taking over at Glenn
01:36:40.800
Yeah, you're not supposed to highlight it by tweeting the stuff out there.
01:37:01.580
Try reading everything on Joe Piscopo's website as if you were a mobster wise guy.
01:37:10.540
Joe's done many, many shows and live concerts, see?
01:37:15.840
You can find a lot of pictures of his work on his website, see?
01:37:22.180
Browse through this gallery if you know what's good for you, see?
01:37:38.680
But didn't he, like, after that, didn't he become a bodybuilder?
01:37:44.640
That was him, right, that turned into, like, a...
01:37:47.580
At least he had worked out and did some of that.
01:37:55.320
I'm trying to think if there's anything else we know.
01:37:56.860
He was in the music video for Keeping the Faith with Billy Joel.
01:38:06.420
I'll give you that in a general sense or whatever.
01:38:08.180
Mark tweeting, website developed in Montenegro.
01:38:44.620
It's like the guy that Jeffy supported during the campaign.
01:39:09.840
Either I'm that important or Jim is not important at all.
01:39:14.400
Either Jim was slumming it or I'm really important.
01:39:16.940
Can you say that you had a presidential candidate go to a wedding?
01:39:30.560
One of them, I want to say it was like a crystal vase type thing.
01:39:37.740
I'm a big history fan, obviously, and love Virginia.
01:39:40.480
His wife was responsible for, during the administration, they redid the governor's mansion, I think,
01:39:47.080
And there's a book they produced about the restoration or whatever.
01:39:50.080
So there's one of those as well, which is really kind of cool.
01:39:55.480
And we've gotten to know them, so they got the invite.
01:39:58.560
You still have the vase or did you sell it on eBay?
01:40:01.940
We would have sold the book, but they didn't sign it.
01:40:09.240
Steve tweeting, hashtag Joe Piscopo campaign slogan, vote for me because Eddie Murphy ain't
01:40:17.980
And then Chumlee was going down the same Eddie Murphy line.
01:40:22.180
That's Eddie Murphy, but everyone always liked him better anyway.
01:40:30.120
But the hashtag is Joe Piscopo campaign slogan.
01:40:32.760
And hopefully at some point we'll get in contact with Joe and they'll come out and tell us
01:40:37.640
And as I said, if this is not a joke, run with it.
01:40:43.660
It's better than any real, legit, like if you're going to run, campaign website.
01:40:54.380
Well, and we learned that people are not that interested in facts.
01:41:01.840
So you might as well just put up the fun website, right?
01:41:04.360
I had a teacher in high school that used to say, don't confuse me with the facts.
01:41:12.940
Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:26.520
Coming up at 2 o'clock Eastern time today, a couple hours from right now, I'm going to
01:41:32.420
be manning the Blaze customer service lines for some reason.
01:41:39.880
We're not connected to the customers, to our audience.
01:41:44.180
But anyway, Brad's going to join me, some other people around the Blaze.
01:41:53.820
You would just, yeah, call and say hi and chit-chat with us if you're bored or something.
01:42:00.860
Again, they didn't tell us to talk about this on the air.
01:42:02.460
I just figured we might as well have fun with it.
01:42:07.860
We'll probably be doing some next week as well.
01:42:09.300
Are we going to crash the phone lines just like we crashed Joe's website?
01:42:12.080
And there's an easy way to remember that phone number.
01:42:28.440
That was some of the funniest stuff I've heard on the Joe Piscopo.
01:42:32.940
But I just wanted to tell you that that is a blog, actually.
01:42:37.120
The real Joe Piscopo website is if you Google it, and I was telling your screener.
01:42:40.920
It's Joe Piscopo, and it has a slash, and it says official website, and it starts www.joepiscopo.com.php56, and that's a legit website.
01:43:01.620
And you go all the way to the bottom, and it actually says 2016 Joe Piscopo.
01:43:05.320
So he doesn't even own his own name on this, then.
01:43:11.100
The .com, I think they sit on it, because that is not even close.
01:43:14.380
Because if you go all the way down, it says blog, contact.
01:43:17.740
And I clicked on the link at contact, and I had the same message about the server.
01:43:22.980
And then I was like, there's an official website if you Google it.
01:43:26.280
And I think your screener logged on to that, and it's actually pretty nice.
01:43:30.220
Yeah, well, check it out, but I wonder, then, this is fascinating me, then.
01:43:34.500
So somebody put in this much effort, that many words on a site for Joe Piscopo?
01:43:48.040
It's almost the same when it comes to the tabs.
01:44:08.600
Oh, we definitely have to get to the bottom of this.
01:44:15.380
Is it like the bane of his existence that he's like, every day he's like, damn it, they have
01:44:24.840
Okay, so this is the amount of, okay, fine, this is fake.
01:44:35.320
On the real website, you can get a chicken plucker for sale for that huge entertainment party.
01:44:46.580
And you put up this whole site to get people randomly to mistakenly go to JoePiscopo.com,
01:44:51.660
and you're their exclusive advertiser of chicken pluckers?
01:44:54.760
Bob Schmedley, the chicken plucker king of the world, has put up a website for Joe Piscopo.
01:45:03.020
Okay, if you're just loving Joe Piscopo, where you went out and bought JoePiscopo.com,
01:45:17.740
And then even if it's formatted out, like your buddy said, where this stuff just gets dumped in.
01:45:25.240
They still had to put in all the information about the website, the station he works at, and all this stuff.
01:45:34.120
I mean, if you were selling Joe Piscopo mugs, I can see that.
01:45:37.660
We're going to intercept him, and we're going to sell the most Piscopo.
01:45:40.500
You've got to look and see if he's been married before.
01:45:51.460
I wonder if it's the ex-wife or somebody that disliked him, disgruntled employee, where you're like,
01:45:58.580
Okay, we've got to reply back from Joe Piscopo's Twitter.
01:46:03.200
What Chris is trying to say is we've got to reply from Joe Piscopo.
01:46:16.800
Okay, I think somebody's getting us on this thing.
01:46:18.800
All right, more on this tomorrow morning on the Blaze Radio Network.
01:46:24.300
Theblaze.com slash doc if you want to hear it after hours.
