00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, On Demand.
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.
00:00:27.160 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:00:31.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:35.900 The Paris Climate Agreement is about one thing.
00:00:39.940 Green.
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,
00:00:55.240 but it is not.
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.
00:01:16.380 The socialists out there.
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.
00:01:23.240 Somebody's got to go down.
00:01:25.920 America.
00:01:26.940 It's an averaging.
00:01:28.640 Nobody moved, you don't move everybody else up to that level.
00:01:32.340 It thins it all out.
00:01:33.580 That's what socialism is.
00:01:35.300 That's what redistribution is.
00:01:37.100 Our former president proudly displayed and promoted the idea of redistribution
00:01:42.200 for the purpose of fairness, as they say.
00:01:45.260 And climate, the climate argument, as much as they want to pretend it's about science,
00:01:50.480 it is not.
00:01:51.620 It is another big government program that will control people for the purpose of redistribution.
00:01:59.800 That's it.
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.
00:02:08.660 We'll further reduce them.
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?
00:02:23.740 Why does it have to be our money?
00:02:24.780 Since we started handing out money.
00:02:26.540 Right.
00:02:27.040 Exactly.
00:02:27.700 Why does it have to be our money?
00:02:28.880 What can we be as a collective?
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,
00:02:39.780 let's give it to them.
00:02:41.320 Without any standards, without any control, but as part of a socialist program.
00:02:45.940 That's because we did.
00:02:47.480 Because we allowed ourselves to.
00:02:49.340 I mean, you and I don't think that way.
00:02:51.720 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.
00:02:53.380 I'm from the Morning Blaze and the Blaze Radio Network.
00:02:55.560 Go to theblaze.com.
00:02:56.380 You want to find out more about me, I'm joined by Brad Staggs on Twitter.
00:02:59.600 It's at theblazebrad, so you can follow him.
00:03:01.520 And Chris Cruz.
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,
00:03:10.960 nah, not going to do it.
00:03:12.860 Not going to be involved in the Paris Climate Agreement.
00:03:15.600 Which is a really good thing.
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.
00:03:24.720 Something that he said he was not going to do.
00:03:26.620 You just never know with him.
00:03:27.880 Right, you don't know.
00:03:28.640 And during the campaign, he lambasted it.
00:03:31.540 It was supposed to be one of those, you know, first day in office, first hundred days, whatever
00:03:35.580 going to do.
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
00:03:45.180 he was doing some sort of deal.
00:03:47.920 Right?
00:03:48.600 Behind the scenes.
00:03:49.220 Behind the scenes.
00:03:49.980 He had to put that out there in public and he was really working something else.
00:03:54.280 Fortunately, at least he is out.
00:03:56.480 I don't know what got him there, but today at 3 o'clock he's going to say no.
00:03:59.740 And that's a very good thing.
00:04:00.840 Unless he says yes.
00:04:02.140 Unless he says yes at the last minute.
00:04:03.780 Or unless he says covfefe.
00:04:05.160 Yeah.
00:04:05.640 I don't know.
00:04:06.520 Anything's possible.
00:04:07.320 Anything's possible with him.
00:04:09.060 Three billion dollars, this agreement.
00:04:12.180 Think about this.
00:04:13.160 This is what we, this is the deal we made.
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.
00:04:26.260 Lowering emissions, set these standards.
00:04:27.920 And everybody said, okay, we're all in this together.
00:04:30.260 Everybody's going to do it, right?
00:04:31.340 Everybody says, right, okay, good deal.
00:04:34.280 And some of you are going to have to pay for it.
00:04:36.780 Whoa.
00:04:37.640 Wait a minute.
00:04:38.640 Hold on.
00:04:39.440 We're all going to pay for it.
00:04:40.700 We're all going to put money in.
00:04:41.640 No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:42.040 Can we get the United States credit card?
00:04:44.180 Right.
00:04:44.860 Not me.
00:04:46.420 That's what they said.
00:04:47.980 Imagine, we all go to lunch.
00:04:49.160 We're all in on this right then.
00:04:51.080 Together.
00:04:51.280 We're all going to pay for this.
00:04:52.760 No.
00:04:53.320 No, Doc, can you pay for this?
00:04:54.820 The rich countries have to pay for it.
00:04:56.800 We're not rich.
00:04:57.920 We're not.
00:04:58.620 We're broke.
00:04:59.400 That's the point, Brent.
00:05:00.520 We are $20 trillion in debt and maybe $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
00:05:08.240 The bill is out there.
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,
00:05:16.340 you've got to give us some.
00:05:17.900 You've got some of these countries that are deep in oil and they're not going to pay their
00:05:22.300 fair share.
00:05:22.760 We already pay 22% of the United Nations bills and provided land and everything to have
00:05:28.440 the place built.
00:05:29.320 We already have provided all kinds of funds for other climate change initiatives in the
00:05:35.600 past.
00:05:36.400 We've already done this.
00:05:37.620 And the Paris Climate Agreement was give us another $3 billion.
00:05:41.880 So there's tougher standards.
00:05:43.560 Fine.
00:05:44.400 But why is the money attached to it?
00:05:47.320 Because they could.
00:05:48.720 Because they could.
00:05:49.780 Because it's about the green.
00:05:51.320 I'm not going to let them get away with this nonsense of pretending that this is about
00:05:55.540 the environment.
00:05:56.540 You want to have a discussion about this, scientist?
00:05:58.880 Bill Nye, the guy?
00:06:02.500 Because he should in no way be connected with science.
00:06:05.380 I welcome you.
00:06:06.780 Come on this program.
00:06:07.760 Come on my program.
00:06:08.820 I'll meet you anywhere and I'll debate you.
00:06:11.660 I'll sit down with you.
00:06:12.740 I'll discuss.
00:06:13.600 I would watch that.
00:06:14.760 I would watch it too.
00:06:16.040 Yeah.
00:06:16.600 I mean, I wouldn't have to.
00:06:18.080 I could probably sleep my way through a debate with him.
00:06:19.880 But I would probably watch it out of respect.
00:06:24.060 Horrible.
00:06:24.780 Because it's not about science.
00:06:26.960 How do you argue and continue to argue that you're about science, yet you don't use a scientific
00:06:31.480 method when we discuss it.
00:06:33.020 You don't actually use scientific facts.
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.
00:06:51.200 Right.
00:06:51.520 How about they just stop?
00:06:57.280 Yeah.
00:06:57.760 I mean, because it's about emissions.
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.
00:07:27.640 That's what we need.
00:07:28.600 More regulation.
00:07:29.460 We need more of that.
00:07:30.520 That's good for us because look where it's gotten us so far.
00:07:35.460 Those countries can just pass those laws.
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.
00:07:44.200 Right?
00:07:45.260 Pretty much.
00:07:45.760 So why?
00:07:46.340 What is the money aspect?
00:07:48.640 Well, one of the things here, and I'm reading through the bullet points, is, okay, so the
00:07:53.100 whole deal is about climate change.
00:07:54.880 They're saying that the climate is getting worse and we're going to drown and all that
00:07:59.080 stuff.
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.
00:08:09.100 If climate is so important, why by 2020?
00:08:12.980 Why not by the end of the year?
00:08:15.120 Why not today?
00:08:15.720 Why not today?
00:08:16.760 Right.
00:08:17.140 So that's one of the things I don't understand about this agreement.
00:08:19.560 It's about the climate.
00:08:21.020 But why does it have to be by 2020?
00:08:23.360 Well, that's their narrative all the time.
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.
00:08:31.060 That's been one of the ones recently.
00:08:32.160 We may not be able to change it back now.
00:08:35.000 Right.
00:08:35.260 Yeah.
00:08:35.360 Okay.
00:08:35.480 If that's the case, prove it.
00:08:37.300 And then we don't have to do anything.
00:08:39.420 Well, why would we start?
00:08:41.060 If we can't change it, why would we go through all that hassle?
00:08:44.940 Let's live it up.
00:08:46.280 Yesterday on Pat and Stu, we gave a little sneak look at the wonderful world of Stu from
00:08:51.660 tomorrow night where Stu...
00:08:52.840 That's on the Blaze TV, by the way.
00:08:54.280 Go to theblaze.com slash TV.
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.
00:09:04.400 And the change was 0.05%.
00:09:07.980 Is that big?
00:09:08.960 It was negligible.
00:09:11.320 Wow.
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.
00:09:35.480 It's about the rules and regulations.
00:09:36.960 Make it about the rules and regulations.
00:09:38.680 And let's actually use the scientific method when discussing it.
00:09:41.500 I can do that.
00:09:42.820 And by the way, I don't want the earth polluted.
00:09:45.780 No, neither do I.
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
00:09:52.720 things floating in it.
00:09:54.080 I don't want that.
00:09:55.060 I want to breathe clean air.
00:09:56.520 I'm a person who conserves mainly because I'm cheap.
00:10:00.480 I mean, right?
00:10:01.760 Whatever it takes.
00:10:02.680 Right.
00:10:03.480 That's fine.
00:10:04.340 I believe in conservation.
00:10:05.540 Those are all really good things.
00:10:07.080 That's fine.
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.
00:10:18.980 We redistribute the money in other ways, too.
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
00:10:42.600 have deductions.
00:10:43.640 That's another redistribution plan.
00:10:45.800 That's all it is.
00:10:47.220 So let's stop screwing around and admit what you are and what you want.
00:10:51.180 Then we can debate it.
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
00:10:59.920 front.
00:11:01.500 Bill Nye the guy.
00:11:04.060 Al Gore.
00:11:04.860 Look at these people.
00:11:07.840 Al Gore has a gargantuan.
00:11:09.000 In the internet.
00:11:09.900 Well, after that, though, he has this gargantuan house that we all know the failures, how he
00:11:14.280 does not practice what he preaches.
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.
00:11:24.640 So you've lost all credibility there.
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.
00:11:41.620 That's a very good thing.
00:11:43.300 Hopefully.
00:11:44.020 Hopefully.
00:11:44.700 You want to move on and do other good stuff?
00:11:46.780 We can work on that.
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
00:11:51.000 honest about it.
00:11:52.100 We'll get some calls coming up on this.
00:11:53.640 It's 888-727-BECK.
00:11:55.840 It's 888-727-BECK.
00:11:58.340 You can also tweet at me.
00:11:59.680 It's at Doc Thompson Show.
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.
00:12:10.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:30.320 I just tweeted out a link to some fact facts.
00:12:32.940 It's some videos.
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.
00:12:44.920 Just go to the, actually, Twitter.
00:12:46.640 It's at Doc Thompson Show.
00:12:47.780 You can see I just tweeted it out there.
00:12:48.960 Coming up at 2 o'clock this afternoon, I'm going to man the customer service phones at
00:12:56.460 theblaze.com.
00:12:58.240 Do you have the number, right, Christian?
00:12:59.240 I do have the number.
00:13:00.100 Because Brad's going to join me on this.
00:13:01.960 Yes.
00:13:02.060 I didn't tell him that, but yet.
00:13:04.100 So he's in.
00:13:04.920 I'm all in.
00:13:07.060 Go team.
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
00:13:12.160 doing this, but what's the number?
00:13:13.520 The number is 866-304-4978.
00:13:19.560 806.
00:13:20.080 It just rolls off the tongue.
00:13:21.160 Yeah.
00:13:21.680 866-304-4978.
00:13:26.120 7-8.
00:13:26.540 We'll tweet that out as well, but that's 2 o'clock this afternoon.
00:13:29.420 You call up.
00:13:29.980 Yeah, you may end up talking with Brad or I.
00:13:31.620 It's the customer service line for theblaze.com.
00:13:34.120 I'm not invited.
00:13:35.020 Subscribe.
00:13:35.300 Subscribe.
00:13:36.940 No, no, you're not.
00:13:38.320 No, you're not.
00:13:38.980 Cal's not invited?
00:13:39.960 Cal's invited.
00:13:40.660 You're not.
00:13:41.120 Yeah.
00:13:41.400 Oh, so it's about me.
00:13:42.320 Okay.
00:13:42.660 Yeah, pretty much.
00:13:43.280 That's right.
00:13:43.640 That's right.
00:13:44.120 Here's the thing.
00:13:45.120 We're going to be talking with people.
00:13:47.160 Okay.
00:13:48.000 So we have to try to effectively communicate on the air.
00:13:51.180 Okay.
00:13:51.540 Right now, what am I doing?
00:13:53.940 Attempting to effectively communicate.
00:13:55.340 Okay.
00:13:55.640 Got it.
00:13:55.960 Got it.
00:13:56.580 All right.
00:13:56.780 I can feel it.
00:13:57.680 It's like you're trying to communicate.
00:13:59.480 I know he's trying.
00:14:00.860 It's in there somewhere.
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.
00:14:08.520 888-727-BEC.
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,
00:14:18.700 which is good.
00:14:19.100 And I know Trump went to the coal belts of West Virginia and Kentucky and places like
00:14:22.880 that and said, hey, I'm in it for you.
00:14:25.360 And people like that supported him for that reason.
00:14:27.800 That's a really good thing.
00:14:29.460 America is the Saudi Arabia of coal.
00:14:32.080 I mean, we just have seemingly limitless supplies of coal.
00:14:37.860 Coal can be used effectively.
00:14:39.480 Most electricity that is manufactured in America still comes from coal.
00:14:43.400 This is something that is unique to America.
00:14:45.640 We are deep in coal, of course, natural gas we are, and we do pretty well with oil as
00:14:50.020 well.
00:14:50.720 This is a good thing.
00:14:51.840 There are some oil companies, energy companies that are for the Paris climate deal, which seems
00:14:58.280 kind of odd.
00:14:58.900 You're like, why would they be for it?
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
00:15:15.300 energy source right now.
00:15:17.020 I love solar energy.
00:15:19.180 I love the idea of solar energy.
00:15:20.860 I do too.
00:15:21.260 Even more than wind.
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
00:15:28.520 out of the air.
00:15:29.060 It's great.
00:15:29.460 You just absorb this right from the sun.
00:15:31.280 The sun gives a lot of life to the planet anyways.
00:15:34.480 You can't have life without it.
00:15:35.900 Great.
00:15:36.920 Love it.
00:15:37.360 Wonderful.
00:15:38.580 But it's not cheap enough yet to be viable.
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
00:15:55.500 or whatever, it's about a wash.
00:15:57.580 Now, if they could bring those solar panels down, cut them in half, you're finally going
00:16:01.040 to save money on your energy bills.
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
00:16:20.320 and all these other things.
00:16:21.460 You're right.
00:16:22.060 We should not do those things.
00:16:23.780 Right.
00:16:23.960 But we also shouldn't subsidize solar and we shouldn't subsidize any of those things.
00:16:28.300 If they're not viable, they shouldn't exist.
00:16:30.720 That's part of my free market philosophy.
00:16:33.280 It's the free market, basically.
00:16:34.300 Right.
00:16:34.600 If it works, fine, it'll work.
00:16:36.960 You're right.
00:16:37.360 We shouldn't have corporate welfare.
00:16:38.920 We shouldn't be giving grants to coal and oil.
00:16:42.300 Your gasoline prices will go up.
00:16:45.660 Okay.
00:16:46.420 Yeah.
00:16:46.700 Then that's what the price should be.
00:16:48.280 Where do you think these subsidies come from?
00:16:49.920 The government?
00:16:50.620 You know where the government gets its money?
00:16:51.740 From me.
00:16:52.340 Yeah.
00:16:52.880 It's a shell game that ultimately allows them to redistribute the money.
00:16:56.520 All right.
00:16:56.720 To the phones we go.
00:16:57.600 Let's go to Florida now.
00:16:58.660 And, West, you're on the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:00.220 How are you?
00:17:01.780 Hey, this is a great topic.
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
00:17:11.980 into the conversation.
00:17:13.180 Oh, forget it.
00:17:13.760 They can't even process solar activity.
00:17:17.160 Yeah.
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.
00:17:31.920 Well, yeah.
00:17:32.460 And real quick to your point, most people don't realize that when they talk about this.
00:17:36.460 The carbon credits is not a real commodity.
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.
00:17:48.820 Oh, it made him very, very rich.
00:17:51.780 Right.
00:17:52.240 Because all it does is change, moves the guilt around the planet.
00:17:55.540 Exactly.
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
00:18:04.660 this amount of money.
00:18:05.620 It's just something they say, okay, here's a billion carbon credits or whatever it is.
00:18:09.720 Who gets the initial ones?
00:18:12.020 Right?
00:18:12.240 Who gets to buy in?
00:18:13.140 Who gets them handed out?
00:18:14.000 But the Al Gore's, the people who are connected.
00:18:16.840 And what is your third point, sir?
00:18:17.900 The third point, I grew up in Flint, Michigan.
00:18:20.820 Sorry.
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
00:18:29.300 30 minutes.
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.
00:18:37.700 You're right.
00:18:38.660 Yeah, that's a good point.
00:18:39.720 I grew up outside of Cleveland.
00:18:41.640 It's the same thing.
00:18:42.480 Yeah.
00:18:42.660 I grew up on the Great Lakes.
00:18:45.640 I grew up east of Cleveland.
00:18:47.000 The Cuyahoga River caught fire at one point.
00:18:49.040 Trust me, a lot cleaner now.
00:18:50.760 All right.
00:18:50.940 Thanks so much for the call, Wes.
00:18:52.100 Really appreciate it.
00:18:52.780 Yeah.
00:18:53.380 I had explained this.
00:18:54.780 Chris, who was in his late 20s, was not familiar with the river catching fire multiple
00:18:58.960 times.
00:18:59.460 It was so polluted that a spark and it just, the burning river.
00:19:04.320 Yeah.
00:19:04.540 That's how polluted it used to be.
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.
00:19:11.060 You guys are old.
00:19:11.840 Do you remember the ozone layer?
00:19:15.840 Oh, yeah.
00:19:16.180 We were about that acid rain.
00:19:17.620 All of these things.
00:19:18.380 Yeah.
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.
00:19:25.900 We are one.
00:19:27.760 So I started thinking recently about all of these claims of the past, about things that
00:19:43.660 have to do with the environment.
00:19:44.600 And you may know, as far back as the late 1800s, there were claims of another ice age.
00:19:50.380 Documented claims.
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.
00:19:57.600 And it never came.
00:19:58.800 We know that global climate change at first was global cooling and then global warming and
00:20:06.460 then climate change.
00:20:07.500 We know all of that.
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.
00:20:22.080 But what about things like the ozone layer?
00:20:25.300 Still there.
00:20:25.940 Right.
00:20:26.220 What about acid rain?
00:20:27.900 Whatever happened with acid rain?
00:20:29.320 We changed everything.
00:20:30.300 So acid rain, did it never reach the...
00:20:33.300 Apparently not.
00:20:34.320 If it was a success where everything we did fixed that, how come you don't hear the climate
00:20:39.520 change alarmists claiming victory?
00:20:42.560 How come they haven't come out and said, hey, you see, we did all this stuff.
00:20:46.560 It worked.
00:20:46.940 Because most of this stuff is not real.
00:20:50.680 It's at best based on theories that they're never forced to prove.
00:20:55.420 It's just we accept it.
00:20:57.260 And then the media, back in the day, it was Time Magazine and ABC and NBC and these places,
00:21:02.780 they would get behind it.
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?
00:21:12.280 Nightly News?
00:21:13.100 ABC Nightly News.
00:21:13.680 ABC News.
00:21:14.320 Nightly News.
00:21:15.700 Acid falling from the sky.
00:21:18.180 Do you want your children playing outside when it rains?
00:21:21.080 Acid?
00:21:21.640 I mean, right?
00:21:23.080 Yeah.
00:21:23.460 Nobody wants to get acid falling on their head.
00:21:25.660 That would be a bad thing.
00:21:26.580 It's through your brain.
00:21:27.420 And you can find countless examples of Time Magazine with Scare Tactic covers and Newsweek
00:21:33.020 back in the day.
00:21:33.740 It just sells.
00:21:34.740 It just sells.
00:21:35.600 It works.
00:21:36.400 And we know that sensationalism works.
00:21:38.920 But here's another example.
00:21:40.560 Try to find true pictures of the Pacific Ocean floating garbage pile.
00:21:48.720 It's the size of Texas.
00:21:50.000 It's easy to find.
00:21:51.320 That's what we've heard.
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.
00:22:01.280 It's big.
00:22:02.340 About six, seven, eight, ten years ago, I was trying to find something to post on Facebook
00:22:06.600 about this because I was going to do a story.
00:22:08.620 And I just wanted a generic picture.
00:22:10.240 So I started looking and I was like, no, no.
00:22:12.380 I want a picture like from the air of like all of the garbage the size of Texas as they
00:22:17.700 fly over it.
00:22:18.500 It should be easy to get.
00:22:19.660 Big.
00:22:20.240 Google images.
00:22:21.400 Image, image, image, image, image, image.
00:22:22.800 Like a thousand images.
00:22:24.400 Nothing.
00:22:25.180 Yahoo.
00:22:25.860 No images.
00:22:27.180 All the images I found were little pieces of garbage like little beads along the water.
00:22:33.100 Right.
00:22:33.480 Artist renditions of how big it is.
00:22:36.000 Oh, those are good though.
00:22:37.420 Photoshopped things.
00:22:38.280 Yeah.
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.
00:22:45.020 Right.
00:22:45.340 Right?
00:22:45.760 Yeah.
00:22:46.000 Nothing for scale.
00:22:46.920 Right.
00:22:47.400 It doesn't exist.
00:22:49.740 No.
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?
00:23:04.600 Wow.
00:23:04.920 Here it is.
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.
00:23:12.380 Yeah.
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
00:23:24.660 on the couch, half in the bag.
00:23:28.000 By that I mean I was drinking tea.
00:23:30.580 Right.
00:23:30.820 And I saw some reruns of Barney Miller.
00:23:33.220 Remember the TV show Barney Miller?
00:23:34.500 Oh, yeah.
00:23:34.580 It was a great show.
00:23:35.020 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
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.
00:23:42.460 They were all stressed out.
00:23:43.480 It was a bad day.
00:23:44.280 There was a strike or something.
00:23:45.320 And one of them mentioned the big garbage pile in the Atlantic that was traveling towards
00:23:52.920 New York.
00:23:54.660 But it wasn't a garbage pile.
00:23:56.240 It was a pile of sludge.
00:23:58.780 There's an island of sludge that's headed to New York.
00:24:02.720 And then I had forgotten all about that.
00:24:05.240 I remember vaguely, and I looked it up, sure enough, back in the day, they believed that
00:24:09.480 there was this big sludge heading to New York.
00:24:13.160 Did it arrive?
00:24:14.500 I mean, I've been to New York.
00:24:15.900 It looks like the sludge arrived.
00:24:18.320 But I think that was always there.
00:24:20.480 I don't think that was new sludge.
00:24:22.700 That's old sludge, right?
00:24:24.000 That's not the new sludge.
00:24:25.640 So they claimed the same thing was going on in the Atlantic in the 70s.
00:24:29.840 Big sludge pile in the Atlantic Ocean.
00:24:33.060 Yeah.
00:24:33.640 Where's the proof?
00:24:35.800 There's apparently some red sludge from Brazil.
00:24:39.660 But that was back in 2015.
00:24:40.800 I think that's an entertainer.
00:24:42.020 Yeah.
00:24:42.600 That's an entertainer.
00:24:43.740 How you doing?
00:24:44.480 I'm red sludge.
00:24:45.440 How you doing?
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
00:24:59.320 out at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
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.
00:25:06.980 But let's get some phone calls.
00:25:08.220 888-727-BECK.
00:25:09.780 We go to Virginia now.
00:25:11.240 Nate, how are you?
00:25:13.180 Hey, how are you guys doing this morning?
00:25:14.860 Good.
00:25:15.300 Good.
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
00:25:26.380 each other.
00:25:27.680 It's definitely a globalist reach for power and money.
00:25:31.060 It has nothing to do with our environment.
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
00:25:38.340 out.
00:25:38.620 It has a natural way of cleaning itself and getting rid of us in the garbage.
00:25:44.780 And it's about, you know what it is?
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.
00:25:58.640 Absolutely.
00:25:59.020 We have a responsibility here to make sure that, you know, the plants, the animals are
00:26:04.820 well taken care of.
00:26:06.560 So for those who believe in God, we're not tree huggers, but we do have a responsibility
00:26:11.320 to take care of the planet.
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
00:26:52.860 with the globalists, I truly believe.
00:26:54.780 Nate, thanks so much for the call from the Commonwealth of Virginia this morning.
00:26:57.440 I agree with you on some of that.
00:26:59.340 It has become a religion.
00:27:01.180 We've talked about this time.
00:27:02.660 The Green Movement has become a religion to many, many people.
00:27:05.760 It's Mother Gaia.
00:27:07.000 It's a great scam, though.
00:27:08.920 It's good to take care of the planet.
00:27:11.340 I mean, it's good not to pollute.
00:27:13.960 It's good not to litter.
00:27:15.560 I don't think anybody likes polluted lakes or streams, but they've just taken it to an
00:27:20.720 extreme.
00:27:21.360 And that's the problem.
00:27:22.100 Well, we were at the climate change march, whatever, a couple months ago.
00:27:25.620 Yeah, Chris and I went to the climate.
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.
00:27:32.800 We passed him.
00:27:33.500 I didn't recognize him until he got on stage, but the way he was received, it was like Lady
00:27:38.700 Gaga just walked in.
00:27:40.500 He was a Beatle there.
00:27:42.900 I'm not kidding.
00:27:43.560 He was a rock star.
00:27:45.760 It was incredible.
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.
00:27:53.300 I mean, seriously.
00:27:54.020 That's disturbing.
00:27:55.180 I'm just assuming with the frenzy, I'm sure somebody did, maybe a couple of little old
00:27:58.440 ladies up there.
00:27:59.040 But one of the things that we saw, we asked them questions, is all that were given us
00:28:02.240 were bullet points.
00:28:03.340 The same bullet points that we hear on TV, but they could not go any further.
00:28:06.700 For example, oh, how can we tax the carbon?
00:28:10.000 Well, we can tax it.
00:28:11.680 Yeah, but how can we tax it?
00:28:13.440 Well, we can make companies pay for it.
00:28:15.620 Yeah, how can you make, oh, well, there's something working.
00:28:18.520 I'm like, no, you just...
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
00:28:31.180 would be going on.
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,
00:28:39.260 hey, where are you from?
00:28:40.440 And they're like, Michigan.
00:28:41.520 I'm like, you guys fly in last night?
00:28:43.320 No, we drove in today.
00:28:44.860 And I'm like, great.
00:28:45.880 Hey, where are you from?
00:28:46.840 We're from Seattle.
00:28:48.100 We flew in yesterday.
00:28:49.580 And person after person after person.
00:28:52.520 And I'm like...
00:28:53.540 Didn't get it.
00:28:54.360 You're not getting this here.
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.
00:29:01.620 But they made it there.
00:29:02.840 They were there standing for the environment.
00:29:05.060 Yeah, exactly.
00:29:05.440 That's all that matters.
00:29:06.580 All that carbon footprint...
00:29:07.880 Doesn't matter.
00:29:08.540 It gets deleted as long as they stand for the climate.
00:29:12.340 Theirs is magic carbon, right?
00:29:14.540 As long as your heart's in the right place, it doesn't count.
00:29:18.100 It's negated because you mean well.
00:29:20.280 Those were the big...
00:29:21.280 Remember the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, Before the Flood, that was out last year?
00:29:25.180 It's a documentary.
00:29:26.240 I watched that.
00:29:27.640 Interesting movie.
00:29:28.520 You're the one.
00:29:29.420 I recommend you watch it.
00:29:31.220 But they suggested taking a carbon test, a carbon credit test, whatever it was.
00:29:36.180 And as soon as you start...
00:29:37.480 Did you take any airline trips last year?
00:29:39.740 Yes.
00:29:40.180 That's when your carbon tax footprint...
00:29:42.580 It's one of the worst things.
00:29:43.380 Yeah, it goes way...
00:29:44.440 I mean, through the roof.
00:29:45.880 Go to some of the airline websites.
00:29:48.400 A lot of them have a place where you can offset your carbon credit or your carbon creation.
00:29:53.420 You can pay a little bit more money.
00:29:55.120 Some of them have already factored into your tickets.
00:29:57.440 Oh, yeah.
00:29:57.620 If you look closely, go to their website.
00:29:59.200 You have to dig for it.
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.
00:30:13.600 But it's only $14.
00:30:14.820 It's for the environment.
00:30:15.980 Yeah, right.
00:30:16.340 And that would be their argument.
00:30:17.480 But you could find it on there.
00:30:18.440 It's pretty crazy that it's out there.
00:30:20.020 I wonder why there should be an airline, Greeny Airways, just to see how well it does.
00:30:24.440 What do you like?
00:30:24.820 Fly Greeny Airways, and we offset all of your carbon footprint.
00:30:30.260 The pilots are pedaling?
00:30:31.420 Yep.
00:30:31.840 Whatever it takes.
00:30:32.540 Is it like the Flintstones around the back of the planes?
00:30:34.640 I'll bet you there wouldn't be full flights.
00:30:38.200 Yeah.
00:30:38.560 And you've got to make it rough on them, too.
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.
00:30:49.560 Get used to it.
00:30:51.580 Open the windows.
00:30:52.460 You'll be fine.
00:30:53.120 Don't worry about it.
00:30:53.940 All right.
00:30:54.600 Back in a minute on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:30:58.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:31:01.680 Mercury.
00:31:05.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
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.
00:31:20.860 Well, of course it is.
00:31:22.420 Well, even Mitt Romney came against him.
00:31:24.240 He said, you should not do this.
00:31:26.020 Well, and here's the thing.
00:31:26.980 Mitt Romney?
00:31:27.760 Mitt Romney's a progressive.
00:31:29.520 This is what people...
00:31:30.100 When Mitt Romney ran for president, not the time where he just said, okay, John McCain, take it.
00:31:34.440 What was that?
00:31:35.440 2012, right?
00:31:36.520 12.
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.
00:31:52.820 Right.
00:31:53.040 Mitt Romney supports this stuff because he is progressive.
00:31:55.760 He's a big government guy.
00:31:57.120 And Mitt Romney wants that level of control.
00:32:00.900 That's who he is.
00:32:01.760 But go to glennbeck.com.
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.
00:32:22.360 In the past.
00:32:23.340 And by we, you mean Hillary.
00:32:25.160 Hillary.
00:32:25.860 And Trump.
00:32:26.400 And Trump.
00:32:27.180 Oh, yeah.
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.
00:32:33.760 It's still about the election.
00:32:35.400 Well, if the Russians hadn't have interfered, you know.
00:32:37.860 Is that the reason?
00:32:38.900 And the Macedonians.
00:32:39.740 And the Macedonians.
00:32:41.680 We have not gotten past it.
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.
00:32:55.260 Here it is.
00:32:55.680 I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost.
00:33:01.040 Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:33:02.800 Hold it.
00:33:04.020 Come on now.
00:33:05.320 But changes the meaning of the sentence.
00:33:07.340 Right.
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.
00:33:24.080 Right.
00:33:24.840 Right?
00:33:25.380 I have some buck stops here, but I'm not to blame.
00:33:27.980 What are you talking about?
00:33:30.340 Is she off her meds again?
00:33:32.020 Okay, start this over again.
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.
00:34:14.620 We needed the Darth Vader theme behind that.
00:34:17.860 Well, it's fun because she says that she inherit nothing, only bankruptcy from the DNC.
00:34:25.080 She didn't get their support?
00:34:26.720 Well, she got their support, but the data operation that she inherited was bankrupt on the verge of insolvency.
00:34:34.700 Insolvency, yeah.
00:34:35.500 Yeah, insolvency.
00:34:36.140 At best, it was mediocre.
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.
00:35:13.720 Actually, you know what?
00:35:14.520 It may be the DNC's fault, because they're the ones who told people she was running.
00:35:19.860 That's true.
00:35:20.860 Because she would have had a better shot if they didn't know she was running.
00:35:23.440 That's true.
00:35:24.020 If they're like, wow, it wasn't Hillary.
00:35:25.560 Yeah, I may vote for her.
00:35:27.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:35:30.480 Mercury.
00:35:44.520 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:35:50.580 On Demand.
00:35:54.860 I will make a stand.
00:35:58.420 I will raise my voice.
00:36:00.620 I will hold your hand.
00:36:03.020 Because we are one.
00:36:04.860 I will beat my drum.
00:36:07.080 I have made my choice.
00:36:09.320 We will overcome.
00:36:11.640 Because we are one.
00:36:13.420 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:36:17.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:22.460 Sadly, we are just not able to get beyond the last election.
00:36:26.620 I can't think of another election.
00:36:28.860 Even 2000, the contested election of George W. Bush, who was an illegitimate president,
00:36:33.940 and that narrative went on.
00:36:36.120 Most people moved on.
00:36:39.020 Bush moved on.
00:36:40.700 I'm the president.
00:36:41.500 I mean, he moved on.
00:36:42.240 It was just a couple people, right?
00:36:44.260 But for some reason, we cannot get beyond this.
00:36:47.160 Hillary cannot get beyond it.
00:36:48.860 And Trump can't get beyond it.
00:36:51.360 Just accept what happened.
00:36:52.860 I've never seen somebody win and keep protesting.
00:36:56.020 Just keep bringing it.
00:36:56.780 If you're the winner, you just move on.
00:36:59.140 Take yes for an answer.
00:37:00.200 Right.
00:37:00.640 Exactly.
00:37:01.180 Take the win.
00:37:01.980 It's like being a Cleveland sports fan, right?
00:37:05.600 I mean, you just deal with it.
00:37:10.160 So, you had the whole confefe thing the night before, and people are still melting down about
00:37:14.200 this, trying to figure it out.
00:37:15.700 So, Hillary speechifies yesterday.
00:37:17.660 And we played the clip for you.
00:37:20.580 Trump then tweets out in response to Hillary, because clearly Hillary has not gotten beyond
00:37:24.660 it.
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.
00:37:34.760 Okay.
00:37:35.740 Yes, he's right.
00:37:37.200 But why say it?
00:37:38.580 Right.
00:37:38.780 Now, he could even be using this as a tactic, right?
00:37:42.580 To beat up on Democrats.
00:37:43.940 It's the bully pulpit to get stuff you want.
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.
00:37:52.440 What we saw here, he brought back Crooked.
00:37:55.020 Crooked Hillary.
00:37:56.020 Right.
00:37:56.180 He brought that back.
00:37:56.960 He hasn't done that in a while.
00:37:58.460 I mean, it's accurate.
00:37:59.660 I mean, I don't disagree with this stuff.
00:38:01.760 We already lambasted her this morning.
00:38:03.320 But he already said he's not doing anything about it, so drop it.
00:38:06.120 Right.
00:38:06.440 You won.
00:38:07.060 Just move on with the Hillary thing.
00:38:08.840 You're just giving her more credence.
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.
00:38:15.380 No, this one.
00:38:15.840 Just move on.
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.
00:38:25.440 Dude, you're the president.
00:38:27.260 We get it.
00:38:28.060 I've accepted it.
00:38:29.100 I accepted it the night of the election.
00:38:31.500 Those people that don't, the hell with them.
00:38:33.140 You're the president.
00:38:33.680 Let's move on.
00:38:34.540 So he tweets that out.
00:38:36.180 Hillary then responds, people in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe.
00:38:43.500 So does she know what covfefe means?
00:38:45.100 If anyone else had said that, it'd be funny.
00:38:47.440 Yeah.
00:38:47.740 Here's the next part.
00:38:50.120 Hillary, sweetheart.
00:38:52.540 Bless your heart.
00:38:53.780 Bless your heart.
00:38:56.100 Leave the comedy to the pros.
00:38:57.580 Seriously.
00:38:58.720 Seriously.
00:38:59.060 That's not your forte.
00:39:00.620 You're more of a whiny speechifier.
00:39:04.460 Like if I went out and started being a whiny speechifier.
00:39:09.140 Okay.
00:39:09.520 Took to the stage and was like, like this.
00:39:12.920 Hillary then could say, hey, doc, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:39:15.420 Back off, man.
00:39:16.400 Leave that to the pros.
00:39:17.980 Right?
00:39:18.980 The annoying harpy wife.
00:39:21.380 Right?
00:39:21.660 She'd say, hey, that's not who you are.
00:39:23.220 That's not your brand, doc.
00:39:24.480 That's me.
00:39:25.040 That's who I am.
00:39:26.140 Or let's say I decided to help like four Americans get killed in a place like Benghazi.
00:39:34.240 Right?
00:39:34.520 Oh.
00:39:34.860 Right?
00:39:35.340 She'd say, whoa, whoa, doc.
00:39:37.040 I know what I'm doing.
00:39:37.820 I know what I'm doing.
00:39:38.800 I get people killed in Benghazi.
00:39:40.140 It's a different business to make.
00:39:41.160 Right.
00:39:41.600 Exactly.
00:39:42.100 That's the type of thing.
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.
00:39:49.920 Right.
00:39:50.260 And then I would use it as my own slush fund.
00:39:52.300 Hillary then could stand up and go, hold on a second.
00:39:55.500 You're not a pro in this.
00:39:56.920 This is what me, Bill, and Chelsea do.
00:39:58.880 Yeah.
00:39:59.140 Right.
00:39:59.860 So let me just say, Hillary.
00:40:02.300 It's not working.
00:40:02.780 It's not working.
00:40:03.520 Don't do that.
00:40:04.060 Whatever.
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.
00:40:16.180 Rocks.
00:40:16.700 Right.
00:40:17.160 But you don't use both of them in the same.
00:40:19.640 It's just bad joke formation.
00:40:21.580 Right.
00:40:21.800 People in glass houses shouldn't throw covfefe.
00:40:23.880 That would have been better.
00:40:26.100 Better still.
00:40:27.160 And the other part is then when you see it from Hillary, it's still just not funny.
00:40:30.700 Right.
00:40:30.860 Because a lot of jokes you hear, like even if you think about a comedian, you're like,
00:40:33.780 oh, I got to tell you this comedian.
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.
00:40:42.680 That is true.
00:40:43.120 That is true.
00:40:43.540 Let me do it.
00:40:44.140 So she puts that out, which is a fail.
00:40:47.960 But then a better tweet comes out.
00:40:51.060 Is it Donald Trump Jr.?
00:40:52.040 It's Donald Trump Jr.
00:40:53.160 He responded to hers to have dad out.
00:40:55.500 Oh, boy.
00:40:56.100 This one's actually pretty good.
00:40:57.840 He says, what house is he in again?
00:41:01.360 That's what I thought.
00:41:02.740 You're trying too hard.
00:41:04.400 What house is he in again?
00:41:06.280 Man, she brought up a house.
00:41:09.320 I know.
00:41:10.160 He's in the White House where you want it.
00:41:13.120 I didn't even catch that.
00:41:14.260 Oh, my gosh.
00:41:15.620 So she's like, people in cafefe houses, you're right.
00:41:19.100 Cafefe must mean white.
00:41:22.880 I'm in the White House.
00:41:24.220 Sorry.
00:41:25.260 She just opened up the door for massive.
00:41:27.960 Oh, no, you didn't.
00:41:29.020 Right?
00:41:29.540 Yeah, that's true.
00:41:30.720 Wow.
00:41:31.540 Yeah.
00:41:32.100 That's incredible.
00:41:33.420 That's cerebral humor right there.
00:41:35.240 I don't know why they could not get beyond it.
00:41:37.980 Is Hillary running?
00:41:39.280 Is she going to give this another shot?
00:41:41.660 I can't imagine.
00:41:42.240 How old is she going to be?
00:41:43.360 Like, 82?
00:41:44.640 107.
00:41:45.340 Well, let's see.
00:41:46.120 She was seven, just turned 70?
00:41:48.400 Yeah.
00:41:48.740 They were both around the same age, weren't they?
00:41:50.200 Right.
00:41:50.420 So she'll be 74.
00:41:52.840 74?
00:41:53.380 An older, more wrinkly, more annoying Hillary.
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?
00:42:03.880 Another coughing spell.
00:42:05.040 She always goes into this.
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.
00:42:14.020 Take care, yes.
00:42:14.680 Take care of your health.
00:42:16.400 It's not that important.
00:42:18.060 Well, there was a speculation she was going to run for mayor of New York.
00:42:21.120 Yes.
00:42:22.220 Do you see her doing that?
00:42:25.260 That's a step down.
00:42:26.580 I mean, I would think.
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,
00:42:49.340 wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, right?
00:42:51.140 That you fail.
00:42:52.360 Right?
00:42:52.640 Everything is like, oh, the mayor of New York because you lost the president.
00:42:55.640 Right?
00:42:56.560 Is that the underline?
00:42:57.600 I think it is.
00:42:58.140 It's like Hillary Clinton, mayor of New York because she lost the White House.
00:43:02.020 I mean, that's.
00:43:02.520 Well, her alternative is to sit at home on the porch with Bill.
00:43:06.060 And what's wrong with that?
00:43:06.960 Oh, she doesn't want to be around Bill.
00:43:08.160 She doesn't want to be around Bill.
00:43:09.540 Or Bill doesn't want to be around her.
00:43:11.700 Or sit around on the porch with Huma.
00:43:14.300 Right.
00:43:14.900 Exactly.
00:43:15.720 Now, Huma invited Anthony back into the house.
00:43:19.120 Wiener?
00:43:19.500 Yes.
00:43:20.140 She invited Wiener back into the house.
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?
00:43:28.080 I think she filed for divorce.
00:43:29.400 She filed for divorce, but then she invited him back to live back in the house.
00:43:32.020 Wasn't he in rehab?
00:43:33.880 Yeah, I think he said he was going to go into rehab.
00:43:35.560 He did go to a rehab at one point.
00:43:37.120 Yeah, he went to rehab.
00:43:37.640 And I remember seeing the pictures for the rehab.
00:43:39.480 It was a beautiful ranch.
00:43:40.780 Oh, it was a beautiful ranch and he's horseback riding.
00:43:43.400 No euphemisms there.
00:43:44.580 Right.
00:43:45.920 Horseback riding and the whole thing.
00:43:47.660 And I was like, wow, this is quite the punishment.
00:43:49.700 Can I go to that one?
00:43:50.480 I know.
00:43:50.860 I'm like, wow, had I known that?
00:43:52.100 I'd be texting all kinds of crazy stuff today.
00:43:54.380 He's on the hook for a few years in prison.
00:43:56.540 Now he is.
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.
00:44:03.740 Yeah, it was super creepy.
00:44:04.800 That is just bizarre.
00:44:06.440 Just put the kid on the crib.
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.
00:44:22.040 We had him on.
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.
00:44:30.860 You know, Glenn's kind of a futurist.
00:44:33.000 He's a catastrophist about the future.
00:44:35.340 But he's a futurist.
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,
00:44:48.200 what ends up making things better ultimately?
00:44:50.580 What's going to make our lives better?
00:44:52.260 Really interesting stuff.
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.
00:45:14.860 We do events.
00:45:15.800 We go out and speechify.
00:45:16.820 We do different things.
00:45:17.620 We're happy.
00:45:18.200 We hang out with them.
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
00:45:31.520 on the customer service phones.
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.
00:45:41.260 No, no, no.
00:45:41.420 Everything's perfect.
00:45:42.420 That's what I'm assuming.
00:45:43.260 Okay.
00:45:43.580 We're going to be bored.
00:45:44.680 Right.
00:45:45.360 So I'm like, hey, that sounds cool.
00:45:47.820 Glenn said it.
00:45:48.540 Well, I'll go do it.
00:45:49.220 Sure.
00:45:49.320 I mean, I meet our audience all the time.
00:45:51.100 We interact on Twitter, right?
00:45:52.200 We're pretty close.
00:45:52.840 But I'm like, sure.
00:45:53.400 Glenn said it.
00:45:53.980 Sure.
00:45:54.160 I got to keep my job.
00:45:54.900 I'll listen to his, I mean, I'll, I mean, I'm looking forward to that.
00:45:58.700 That's a great idea.
00:45:59.200 Sounds like a wonderful idea.
00:46:00.540 I'll go and do this.
00:46:01.280 So I go to Brad.
00:46:02.940 I was like, hey, you want to go do this?
00:46:04.680 And Brad goes, yes, I'd love to.
00:46:06.780 When?
00:46:07.940 No.
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.
00:46:14.820 He jokes a lot, you know.
00:46:15.760 He jokes a lot about it.
00:46:17.200 So today at 2 Eastern, we're going to man the lines.
00:46:19.980 It's 866-304-4978.
00:46:22.960 You got questions, comments?
00:46:24.160 We'll let the cat out of the bag as much as we can.
00:46:27.800 866.
00:46:28.460 How much details are you going to give?
00:46:29.840 We'll see.
00:46:30.500 It depends on how much rum we have.
00:46:32.080 Yeah.
00:46:32.280 We already got the rum punch lined up for it.
00:46:33.960 We're not going up there unarmed.
00:46:35.420 Okay.
00:46:35.800 Yeah.
00:46:35.980 We got a whole little party.
00:46:37.040 We're bringing food.
00:46:37.560 And sales knows you're coming up.
00:46:38.680 No, they have no idea yet.
00:46:39.720 So you're just going to take over.
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.
00:46:48.320 So the number is 866-304-4978 this afternoon.
00:46:52.580 If you want to, it'll be 2 to 3-ish Eastern.
00:46:54.980 With, of course, spells.
00:46:56.540 I think it's Covfefe.
00:46:58.100 Roughly.
00:46:58.720 A couple letters missing.
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.
00:47:05.600 Brandon Morse that we had on.
00:47:07.420 Some other writers, TheBlaze.com.
00:47:09.040 Michael Palka probably will be on with us.
00:47:12.540 Jeffy is MIA.
00:47:13.500 I don't know where he is, so he's not probably going to be on.
00:47:15.620 He's in jail.
00:47:16.860 So I have a sign-up sheet for the staff.
00:47:20.080 I was like, because it's not just us.
00:47:21.780 Hold 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.
00:47:27.080 How do you have time for all this?
00:47:30.040 Because I believe in Glenn Beck.
00:47:32.320 Oh, my God.
00:47:32.920 I believe in Glenn Beck's message and his vision.
00:47:35.000 Are you serious right now?
00:47:35.080 Moving forward that we, too, can join together and create good.
00:47:39.380 Is this working at all?
00:47:40.300 No.
00:47:41.460 So I put it up there.
00:47:42.420 There's nobody else that has signed up yet.
00:47:44.780 Duh.
00:47:45.240 Yeah.
00:47:45.740 Hold on.
00:47:46.060 Where is this sheet of paper?
00:47:48.220 It's out on the glass out in the main lobby there.
00:47:51.240 Okay.
00:47:52.200 Oh, is that your excuse?
00:47:53.560 You didn't see it?
00:47:54.280 Okay.
00:47:54.560 I see where you're going with this.
00:47:55.500 All right.
00:47:56.620 It's at Doc Thompson Show on Twitter.
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.
00:48:03.480 I don't know what we're supposed to do there.
00:48:05.640 I don't know.
00:48:06.080 Talk to people.
00:48:07.260 I think it's more of a just gently listening as a shoulder to cry on.
00:48:10.840 I can't even listen to my wife.
00:48:12.040 I know.
00:48:12.600 I'm going to listen to, you know, he's like, blah, blah.
00:48:14.880 And I'm like, okay.
00:48:15.580 Just remember, these are paying customers.
00:48:17.580 Okay.
00:48:17.840 So lots of wrong.
00:48:18.560 Got it.
00:48:18.900 Yeah.
00:48:19.200 All right.
00:48:19.460 Back in a moment.
00:48:20.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:48:23.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:48:27.700 Mercury.
00:48:27.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:48:33.520 Hey there.
00:48:33.980 It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.
00:48:35.700 Joined by Brad Staggs.
00:48:36.960 It's the Blaze Brad on Twitter if you want to follow him.
00:48:39.540 And Chris Cruz.
00:48:40.200 Real Chris Cruz on Twitter.
00:48:42.080 TMB listener number Q10 tweeting, try the Hillary excuse with your boss.
00:48:47.760 See how that works out for your job.
00:48:50.660 Yeah.
00:48:50.900 How's that going to work out for you?
00:48:51.980 It's not going to work out well at all.
00:48:54.240 Yeah.
00:48:54.500 So I take full responsibility.
00:48:55.820 It's somebody else's fault.
00:48:56.780 Yeah.
00:48:56.900 Peter Cobb tweeting, at Doc Thompson's show, occupation, climate change scientist?
00:49:03.420 Oh, BS artist.
00:49:04.800 Got it.
00:49:06.800 Got it.
00:49:07.340 That's how you know.
00:49:08.640 A well-paid position.
00:49:09.860 Yeah.
00:49:10.140 Jen tweeting, Nat Geo is saying that the ozone hole is almost closed.
00:49:15.520 So they're actually talking about it.
00:49:17.240 But then she went on to mention that, but that may also be bad for us now.
00:49:21.040 Why?
00:49:21.320 Since now we have too much ozone now?
00:49:23.640 Yeah.
00:49:23.880 You don't want too much ozone.
00:49:25.120 You don't want too little.
00:49:25.900 Perfect number.
00:49:26.480 I don't know what's perfect, but you got to get right in the meaty area.
00:49:29.100 Seven is the perfect number.
00:49:30.420 Yeah.
00:49:30.740 Write that down.
00:49:31.640 So there'll be a test on that later.
00:49:33.340 You don't want too much ozone.
00:49:34.920 You don't want too little ozone, Chris.
00:49:36.680 And that's what makes it so difficult.
00:49:38.240 And that's the reason we need to redistribute our funds around the world.
00:49:41.740 Yeah.
00:49:42.160 They actually did.
00:49:42.840 They came out now and said that it's closing, but that may be bad for us.
00:49:46.720 Yeah.
00:49:47.740 Well, even thunderstorms cause, what is it?
00:49:50.300 The gas that will eat away at the ozone.
00:49:53.740 How do you know?
00:49:54.200 So now God is against nature?
00:49:56.140 I think so.
00:49:56.840 I think it is.
00:49:57.320 Oh my God.
00:49:58.320 God hates people.
00:49:59.460 You have...
00:50:00.220 For good reason.
00:50:00.940 You have the stories that come out during television sweeps where it's like, new report
00:50:04.940 says chocolate bad for you.
00:50:06.660 New report says chocolate good for you.
00:50:08.420 And then it's the thing about wine and whatever.
00:50:09.800 Salt.
00:50:09.980 That's what this is.
00:50:11.420 It's just, again, something that'll sell newspapers.
00:50:14.840 Yeah.
00:50:15.240 Grant money.
00:50:16.140 Get people to click on it.
00:50:17.160 Grant money.
00:50:17.660 I think it's all about the grant money.
00:50:19.400 That's also it.
00:50:19.680 Because we always do that whole grant money.
00:50:21.320 What is that money going for?
00:50:22.400 Yeah.
00:50:22.560 Let me go study, you know, phalluses for ducks.
00:50:25.680 What?
00:50:26.300 Right.
00:50:27.040 So LeBron James supposedly had his property in Los Angeles vandalized.
00:50:33.700 That somebody spray painted something on it.
00:50:35.680 And do you know what the full thing...
00:50:36.860 I know it was supposed to be the N word.
00:50:38.220 It's supposed to be the N word, yeah.
00:50:39.660 The gate of his home.
00:50:40.780 The gate of his home.
00:50:41.440 But was there more to it or just N word?
00:50:43.220 No, I think that was all it was.
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.
00:50:53.380 Here it is.
00:50:54.160 LeBron James.
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.
00:51:10.880 And we got a long way to go.
00:51:14.960 You know, for us as a society and for us as African Americans until we feel equal in
00:51:23.640 America.
00:51:27.080 Being black in America is tough.
00:51:29.660 Equal to what?
00:51:31.320 I guess other people, other races.
00:51:34.280 Being black in America is tough.
00:51:36.280 Everybody else that's not black, it's not tough for you.
00:51:39.740 Are you sure?
00:51:40.540 According to LeBron James.
00:51:41.780 Listen, if you're white, Asian, Native American, Hispanic, it's not tough for you.
00:51:48.420 Your life is wonderful.
00:51:50.060 It's perfect.
00:51:50.700 There's no challenges you face.
00:51:52.560 When he said that, is he including himself on that, that as a black man, life is tough?
00:51:57.580 Yes, absolutely.
00:51:58.340 Because that's the reason he said about money.
00:52:00.780 He goes, it doesn't matter how famous you are, how liked you are, how much money you
00:52:04.740 have, any of this.
00:52:05.560 If you're black, it's tough for you.
00:52:07.160 Can I be that tough?
00:52:08.400 Because he's worth $340 million?
00:52:11.400 It sounds awful.
00:52:12.460 Can you imagine having...
00:52:13.500 Can I trade spots with him?
00:52:14.540 Wait a minute.
00:52:15.200 It makes no sense.
00:52:16.340 Hold on a second.
00:52:17.000 Chris Cruz is Hispanic.
00:52:18.840 Yes, I am.
00:52:19.640 You emigrated here from some foreign country.
00:52:22.100 What country is that?
00:52:23.100 Puerto Rico.
00:52:24.200 Wow.
00:52:24.680 So you were kind of an American, but not a real American.
00:52:27.140 Yes.
00:52:27.440 Okay, gotcha.
00:52:28.300 So you emigrated here from Puerto Rico.
00:52:30.900 Yes.
00:52:31.160 Okay, gotcha.
00:52:32.020 Would you trade your race if you got the $300 million?
00:52:36.220 Yes.
00:52:36.500 For $300 million, you would change your race?
00:52:38.200 Because that equals to $23 million a year.
00:52:41.100 Yes, I'm in.
00:52:41.860 So far in your life, you mean?
00:52:42.940 Yes.
00:52:43.220 Okay, gotcha.
00:52:43.860 Would you learn English for that money?
00:52:45.300 No.
00:52:45.980 Okay.
00:52:46.740 Is that part of the contract?
00:52:48.280 No, that is.
00:52:49.240 Yeah, that's right.
00:52:50.620 We're going to need you to learn English.
00:52:51.680 When you came here, did they make you take a test, learn English?
00:52:55.020 Obviously not the English part.
00:52:56.300 Did you have to pay back taxes?
00:52:57.720 No, no.
00:52:58.560 The same test you took.
00:52:59.480 Is that what it is?
00:53:00.020 Yeah.
00:53:00.260 So, Brad, would you trade races for $300 million?
00:53:07.100 I don't think so.
00:53:08.580 I mean, it's hard to say because it's...
00:53:11.180 No.
00:53:11.460 How do you go?
00:53:13.020 The part that bothers me about all this, no matter how many people admire you,
00:53:18.700 well, let's take that...
00:53:20.940 If millions of people admire you...
00:53:23.500 How are you kept down and how is it being kept down?
00:53:25.880 Yeah, throw the money out for a second.
00:53:27.040 You're right.
00:53:27.580 Your attitude is, you live in a racist place in America.
00:53:31.760 Right.
00:53:32.080 America's racist, therefore, racism, they don't like you, or there are problems.
00:53:35.900 But they admire you.
00:53:36.300 Well, half of your problems are taken away because of money, and then the other half
00:53:39.040 is people admire you.
00:53:40.220 What's the problem?
00:53:40.920 So, that makes no sense.
00:53:42.700 So, you wouldn't, for $300 million, you wouldn't trade races?
00:53:46.120 I would.
00:53:48.760 I mean...
00:53:49.400 Would you?
00:53:49.980 I mean, you'd give me $300 million, I'd do it for $3 million.
00:53:52.580 What's the lowest?
00:53:53.200 You'd still have the same problems.
00:53:53.780 I mean, I wouldn't be Hispanic for $3 million, don't get me wrong, but most other races, I
00:53:57.820 would.
00:53:57.960 I mean, that'd be crazy.
00:53:58.300 Right, I don't want to do that, Chris.
00:53:59.660 I mean, you know.
00:54:00.920 Now, for $300 million, would I be a woman?
00:54:03.880 I might do that.
00:54:05.620 So, you prefer...
00:54:06.120 You would change your gender?
00:54:07.160 So, you prefer a woman instead of trade races?
00:54:10.920 Never have to leave a house.
00:54:11.960 Oh, my God.
00:54:13.140 Wow.
00:54:14.240 That's shocking.
00:54:15.380 That took a turn.
00:54:16.220 No, I would absolutely change for...
00:54:18.000 And it would not take $300 million.
00:54:20.040 How much?
00:54:20.780 A few bucks.
00:54:21.500 It depends on the race.
00:54:22.920 So, H-Ray has a category of money?
00:54:24.880 Well, yeah.
00:54:25.440 Asian.
00:54:25.920 I just found out how hard it is for black people.
00:54:28.020 It's going to take more, according to them.
00:54:29.380 Give me some Asian.
00:54:30.200 Oh, Asian's easy.
00:54:31.080 I already live with a bunch there.
00:54:32.140 I'm practically Asian now.
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
00:54:41.580 all the craziness.
00:54:42.540 But you can drive, though.
00:54:43.300 Yeah.
00:54:43.660 Yes, that is true.
00:54:44.520 That's true.
00:54:45.060 So, I mean, but I feel like with $30 million, if I was Asian, I could hire a driver.
00:54:49.280 So, you know, there's all those things there.
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
00:55:25.960 they would change races for money.
00:55:27.600 It's absolutely wrong, of course.
00:55:31.720 If somebody vandalizes your property, it doesn't matter what they put.
00:55:35.100 It's vandalism.
00:55:35.900 It's wrong.
00:55:36.560 Yes.
00:55:36.880 And if you're putting a racial slur or anything that's trying to just be a jerk, a bully,
00:55:43.040 influence somebody, is wrong.
00:55:44.560 And, of course, that's not going to be nice or fun for LeBron James or his family to see
00:55:49.120 that.
00:55:50.060 But you know what?
00:55:50.740 I don't believe most of America is racist.
00:55:54.240 We will talk about racial things.
00:55:56.040 We were joking about race before the break.
00:55:59.960 That's okay.
00:56:01.660 We're all different.
00:56:02.800 We're all different, and that's all right.
00:56:04.020 I don't hate people.
00:56:05.440 Nope.
00:56:05.980 I absolutely don't.
00:56:07.280 Some...
00:56:07.620 Now, there's three I hate.
00:56:08.520 Around here, there's a couple people, but that's not based on their race.
00:56:11.360 No.
00:56:11.440 That's just based on the fact that they're jerks.
00:56:13.160 I mean, that's how it is.
00:56:14.120 Yeah.
00:56:15.420 We are all victims at times of things.
00:56:19.160 Some people, you likely will be given a raw deal because of your race, and some people are
00:56:23.400 racist.
00:56:24.260 Some people are fat.
00:56:25.880 Ugly, stupid, handicapped, whatever it is, where you are not able to perform at the same
00:56:32.180 level as somebody else.
00:56:33.640 I can't throw a football 60 yards.
00:56:36.520 You know, I'm not athletically inclined.
00:56:38.260 I'm not particularly bright.
00:56:39.320 There's a lot of things that...
00:56:41.080 That's true.
00:56:41.620 And we all have it.
00:56:41.860 That's true.
00:56:42.260 You've vouched for that, right?
00:56:43.660 Yes.
00:56:44.000 Not particularly bright.
00:56:44.680 LeBron James, you're rich.
00:56:46.860 You've been given more than most people, even white people on this planet.
00:56:50.660 White people...
00:56:51.360 First of all, born in America, you've been given more than most people.
00:56:54.780 Stop playing the victim.
00:56:56.140 That's not fun.
00:56:57.060 It's not nice that people did that to you.
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.
00:57:09.020 And thank you for that.
00:57:10.320 We're just moving on.
00:57:12.100 The more, in some ways, we continue this narrative of constantly bringing this stuff up, the worst
00:57:17.700 it's going to get for us.
00:57:19.420 The worst it's going to get for us.
00:57:21.180 Let's move on.
00:57:22.340 Treat people well.
00:57:24.660 Laugh at yourself.
00:57:26.160 Laugh at each other.
00:57:27.640 That's it.
00:57:28.160 That's the key.
00:57:29.020 That's the secret.
00:57:29.820 Have a sense of humor.
00:57:30.940 You'll live longer.
00:57:32.700 Yeah.
00:57:33.700 Things like race are also influenced by education, economic situation.
00:57:38.360 Those are part of it.
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
00:57:54.440 we like to help people out.
00:57:56.480 That's what we do.
00:57:57.160 Joining us now, Martin Lindstrom, the author of Small Data, The Tiny Clues That Uncover Huge
00:58:02.180 Trends.
00:58:02.760 Hey, Martin, how are you?
00:58:04.400 I'm good, and you?
00:58:05.560 Doing well.
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
00:58:16.000 or trying to get better jobs.
00:58:17.240 If you know trends, you know where to fish, right?
00:58:20.520 You know where the fish are going to be.
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,
00:58:37.860 right?
00:58:38.940 Yeah, absolutely.
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.
00:58:53.560 And let me just give you an example.
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.
00:59:06.820 Martin, please.
00:59:07.700 I don't go to bars.
00:59:08.620 Those are negative places.
00:59:10.800 Alcohol, I don't associate with such people.
00:59:13.300 I mean, when I go to church, I will do that if they're late with the sermon.
00:59:18.140 No, yeah, we all, we grab our phone.
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
00:59:36.040 anymore because they're on their phones.
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
00:59:45.400 the third thing is even worse.
00:59:46.920 We never get bored anymore, and boredom or that pause in our life is the foundation for
00:59:53.400 creativity.
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.
01:00:03.560 That means people go more on cruise ships.
01:00:06.360 They are, actually right now, going more in theaters.
01:00:08.620 They're going more to concerts.
01:00:10.100 Concerts is going up 15%.
01:00:11.980 People going to the pharma market is up 17%.
01:00:14.840 So the next big trend is really to be present, and people will pay a fortune to be present
01:00:21.540 because we're never present anymore, right?
01:00:23.160 Yeah, so if your mind is...
01:00:24.900 That makes a lot of sense.
01:00:25.660 So if your mind is occupied on all this stuff that we have to think about, and we have a
01:00:29.420 lot more stuff to think about now every day.
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?
01:00:50.340 No, exactly.
01:00:50.980 No, when I wrote the book Small Data, no, I actually wrote it in a swimming pool, and
01:00:55.780 it's crazy.
01:00:57.420 But I would have thought the papers would get wet, or the computer would short out.
01:01:01.680 I didn't know you were that intelligent.
01:01:03.220 I'm pretty impressed by now.
01:01:06.460 Waterproof paper.
01:01:07.520 It'll be the rage for writing books in swimming pools.
01:01:12.160 You know, I call it the water moment.
01:01:14.360 And the water moment, some people have in water, some people have it on the shower, some people
01:01:18.660 when they're running, when they're in the car.
01:01:20.880 But people feel this is an unproductive time.
01:01:24.240 Do you know what?
01:01:24.680 You couldn't be further from the truth.
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.
01:01:32.200 It gives you a pause.
01:01:33.520 Because here's the issue.
01:01:34.520 Think about it.
01:01:35.180 The first thing we do when we wake up in the morning is to grab our phone, right?
01:01:39.220 So we're at work in the bed.
01:01:41.000 And let me just remind you, the main purpose of, well, to be in the bed is two purposes,
01:01:45.380 but not three, right?
01:01:46.440 Right.
01:01:47.080 And then we go to the bathroom.
01:01:49.960 Now, listen to this.
01:01:50.600 This is crazy.
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.
01:01:57.420 And this is so crazy.
01:01:59.540 One third of these young kids were on the phone in the shower, right?
01:02:05.660 Writing books, writing books.
01:02:08.000 Of course.
01:02:08.960 Paper-based, right?
01:02:10.020 Yeah.
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.
01:02:33.780 We never reset it anymore.
01:02:35.900 It's just on all the time.
01:02:37.560 And we all know if we don't do it, it gets slower.
01:02:40.020 Well, that's the case with our brains.
01:02:42.020 We actually get slower right now.
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.
01:02:52.560 And that is the biggest downside right now.
01:02:54.580 So you asked me what is one of the trends.
01:02:56.700 It's definitely that.
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.
01:03:06.240 Hey, Martin, this is Brad.
01:03:07.240 I'm here with Doc.
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.
01:03:22.000 Is that along the same lines?
01:03:23.480 Does that give your brain the same break?
01:03:25.860 It does, because here's the issue.
01:03:29.980 It's actually called the chicken cage syndrome.
01:03:32.000 And let me just explain this for a moment.
01:03:33.940 A study was done around seven years ago,
01:03:36.180 which showed that if you put a chicken into a cage,
01:03:38.620 and it stays in that cage for half a year,
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.
01:03:53.240 And I call that the chicken cage syndrome.
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
01:04:12.220 and force their mind to be different.
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.
01:04:25.380 Because if you stand in a cage,
01:04:28.400 well, it's a little bit like you can't see the forest with just trees.
01:04:31.440 You see it from your own angle.
01:04:33.040 But if you jump out of that angle and see the world completely differently,
01:04:36.960 that's where you see business opportunities.
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.
01:04:44.980 You guys are familiar with Lego, right?
01:04:46.980 Yeah.
01:04:48.380 So in 2013, 2012, the Lego company was close to bankruptcy.
01:04:54.520 Can you believe that?
01:04:55.880 And back then, the Lego brand had learned that
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.
01:05:09.940 Now guess what?
01:05:10.700 The executives are basically concluding, using big data and all this stuff,
01:05:14.520 that, forget about the small bricks.
01:05:17.720 Let's create gigantic building blocks
01:05:20.360 so you can build a castle in a Lego in half an hour rather than six hours.
01:05:24.740 So they do that.
01:05:25.440 They change the size of the Lego bricks.
01:05:26.840 And December 2013, the sales drops with 31%.
01:05:31.760 And the entire management goes into panic.
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.
01:05:39.720 But the Lego team did something differently.
01:05:41.620 They jumped out of the chicken cage.
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.
01:05:53.840 And as they're sitting on the bedroom floor,
01:05:56.660 they ask this kid one simple question.
01:05:59.260 What are you most proud of?
01:06:00.900 And this kid, he pauses for a second.
01:06:03.380 He points at himself.
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.
01:06:14.040 But he doesn't.
01:06:15.100 So he takes down these pair of sneakers.
01:06:17.160 And, of course, they ask him why.
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,
01:07:28.580 that we see the world from one point of view.
01:07:32.080 You have to wake up.
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.
01:07:52.180 We're going to go ahead and tweet out a link.
01:07:54.420 It's martinlindstrom.com.
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.
01:08:08.640 Martin, thanks so much for joining us.
01:08:09.800 Really appreciate it.
01:08:11.400 You are welcome.
01:08:11.920 All right, we'll tweet it out again.
01:08:13.320 It's martinlindstrom.com.
01:08:15.060 And the book is Small Data.
01:08:15.980 Back in a moment on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:08:19.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:08:24.460 Mercury.
01:08:28.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:08:31.920 Okay, tweeted out the links to Martin Lindstrom's book, Small Data.
01:08:35.600 I think he's fascinating.
01:08:36.560 I think trends are fascinating.
01:08:37.500 I think he's right on about it.
01:08:38.980 You have to get that time away where you can just walk around
01:08:40.920 and just kind of, what am I going to do?
01:08:44.020 Rinse out your brain.
01:08:44.920 Yeah.
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.
01:09:14.640 Yeah.
01:09:15.280 There's nothing new under the sun.
01:09:16.900 We know that.
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.
01:09:28.380 There's always something slightly off.
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,
01:09:46.800 what happens?
01:09:48.080 Where are we going?
01:09:48.860 Well, that's just it.
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.
01:09:55.440 Right.
01:09:55.940 And then social media made it easier to stay in contact with people you didn't see all the time,
01:10:00.420 but then you don't see people face to face.
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.
01:10:08.840 We went face to face to letters.
01:10:11.620 Letters became eventually phone calls, right?
01:10:14.520 Long phone calls and everything else.
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.
01:10:26.320 We already do some of that.
01:10:27.800 What's the next big step in person?
01:10:30.440 Malls are dying.
01:10:31.280 I think, in fact, Stu on this program talked about how dead the mall was right before Christmas.
01:10:36.060 They're almost dead.
01:10:37.480 Next two years, it's going to be gone.
01:10:40.500 Human interaction.
01:10:41.520 What a concept.
01:10:42.260 Yeah.
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.
01:10:46.920 Where are you going?
01:10:47.760 What are you doing?
01:10:49.280 10,000 baby boomers retiring a day.
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?
01:11:01.420 That may be the billion-dollar question.
01:11:03.920 Doc Thompson for Glenn Beck today.

01:12:03.420 Thanks for joining me.
01:12:04.140 Filling in for Glenn Beck today on his program.
01:12:06.020 I'll be with you tomorrow as well.
01:12:07.780 Also joined by Real Chris Cruz on Twitter.
01:12:10.860 It's at Real Chris Cruz from The Morning Blaze.
01:12:13.440 And at The Blaze Brad.
01:12:15.500 Brad Staggs is here.
01:12:16.820 We're all part of The Morning Blaze.
01:12:18.280 If you want to find out more about us, go to TheBlaze.com slash Doc.
01:12:21.380 We have an update on Covfefe.
01:12:24.080 We know what it is.
01:12:25.900 We do?
01:12:26.940 Some of us know what it is.
01:12:29.080 A select group.
01:12:29.900 A select group.
01:12:31.260 Okay.
01:12:31.720 Yesterday, President Trump's spokesperson, press secretary, Sean Spicer,
01:12:37.660 had a press conference and was asked about it.
01:12:39.500 But it's interesting how it comes up.
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.
01:12:50.400 Here's Sean Spicer.
01:12:52.020 I think people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night
01:12:57.860 and that it then stayed up for hours.
01:12:59.900 Uh, no.
01:13:02.820 Why did it stay up so long?
01:13:04.480 Is no one watching this?
01:13:06.020 No, I think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.
01:13:11.120 Blake.
01:13:11.720 Sean Spicer.
01:13:13.000 What does Sean Spicer mean?
01:13:16.100 Blake.
01:13:16.320 What does he mean?
01:13:17.340 Blake.
01:13:18.480 What is Covfefe?
01:13:19.680 Blake.
01:13:19.900 I want to go to Paris.
01:13:20.700 No, but still you can't.
01:13:21.500 Blake.
01:13:22.740 The president and a small group of people.
01:13:25.340 So, do you know what it means, Chris?
01:13:27.620 I don't know what it means.
01:13:28.080 Then you're not in that small group of people.
01:13:29.700 Oh, okay.
01:13:30.760 If only we knew what Covfefe meant.
01:13:32.780 Mm-hmm.
01:13:33.660 If only.
01:13:34.800 If anybody can tell us.
01:13:36.280 The president would tell us.
01:13:37.660 Can the president tell us what Covfefe is?
01:13:39.600 Mr. President, uh, are you willing to share that with us?
01:13:42.920 Good morning.
01:13:44.040 How is everybody?
01:13:45.660 Uh, we're, we're doing fine.
01:13:47.280 Uh, it's a very Covfefe day.
01:13:49.340 It is.
01:13:49.800 It's a tremendously Covfefe day.
01:13:51.740 I have to tell you.
01:13:53.220 I mean, I just want to make.
01:13:54.300 It really is amazing.
01:13:55.740 I just want to make sure I'm using that properly to say it's a Covfefe day.
01:13:58.500 You know what?
01:13:59.100 It is one of those words.
01:14:01.140 It is so flexible and so malleable.
01:14:04.200 You could use it in any conceivable way.
01:14:06.360 That's the beauty of Covfefe.
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.
01:14:17.040 Yes, sir.
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.
01:14:26.960 Yes.
01:14:27.280 And I know how much they like me.
01:14:28.840 I hardly know Jared Kushner.
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.
01:14:38.460 So I really don't know who he is.
01:14:40.080 Okay.
01:14:40.340 Let's get back to Covfefe.
01:14:41.760 Okay.
01:14:43.540 Well, I'm glad you clarify that because he's been in the news, you know, supposedly some
01:14:48.060 backdoor deals.
01:14:49.140 He's been in the news a great deal.
01:14:49.580 He just lurches around the White House.
01:14:51.460 I have no idea who this guy is.
01:14:53.400 He pops up at me.
01:14:54.260 By the way, he never says a word.
01:14:56.200 I've never heard this guy speak.
01:14:58.060 Ever.
01:14:58.580 Ever.
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?
01:15:12.040 I mean, who's in it?
01:15:12.800 It was the three of us holding the orb.
01:15:15.160 That's when he came to us.
01:15:18.540 I was right.
01:15:19.480 I told you it was the guys that were holding the orbs.
01:15:22.480 Now.
01:15:22.860 You know what?
01:15:23.640 And I found out, you know, that orb takes you to another place in time.
01:15:27.500 It's a multidimensional orb.
01:15:29.840 And it's kind of one of these things where you're suddenly back in history and all this
01:15:34.460 stuff.
01:15:34.700 And the word Covfefe came right to me.
01:15:36.840 And by the way, by the way, it's such an amazing word.
01:15:40.600 You can say Covfefe, Covfefe.
01:15:43.260 You can pronounce it any way you like.
01:15:44.920 That's the beauty of this tremendous, tremendous word that was given to me by the people who
01:15:50.660 rule the universe.
01:15:52.260 It's so incredible.
01:15:52.940 I didn't know that.
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
01:16:03.600 program.
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
01:16:16.960 parts.
01:16:17.380 Like, kind of a pet name.
01:16:19.100 Listen, listen, listen.
01:16:19.820 First off, it's disgusting.
01:16:21.260 That's disgusting.
01:16:22.260 I would never name anything on me French.
01:16:25.380 That's a very French word.
01:16:27.160 So it is a French word.
01:16:28.840 It's going to be very, very manly, like Willie or Johnson or something like that.
01:16:36.680 Okay.
01:16:37.280 So it's not something you would share in an intimate moment with your wife.
01:16:40.340 No, no, no, no, no.
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
01:16:51.560 at me.
01:16:51.920 I really don't get it.
01:16:52.780 You know, we didn't need to have a chance to talk to you last...
01:16:54.660 Women, women, women, they're so tough.
01:16:55.800 They're so tough.
01:16:56.520 I can rule the world, but I can't figure out chicks.
01:16:59.340 It's so, it's very annoying.
01:17:02.120 So we didn't have a chance to talk to you last week after you came back from your long
01:17:07.320 trip over in Europe, but...
01:17:09.480 Was that an incredible trip?
01:17:11.560 Was that the single most successful presidential trip in the history of presidential trips?
01:17:17.300 Did you see?
01:17:18.040 I went to Israel.
01:17:19.480 Yeah.
01:17:19.840 And then I went to the Middle East.
01:17:21.260 It was tremendous.
01:17:22.220 It was so amazing.
01:17:23.140 I went to the Wailing Wall.
01:17:24.580 And by the way, by the way, is anyone Jewish in the studio?
01:17:28.100 Not in the room right now.
01:17:29.780 Has anyone been to the Wailing Wall?
01:17:32.380 No.
01:17:32.700 Let me tell you something about this wall.
01:17:35.820 Tremendous wall.
01:17:37.140 Thousands of years old.
01:17:38.700 No Mexicans in Israel.
01:17:40.600 So perfect.
01:17:42.620 So incredible.
01:17:43.940 And by the way, no whales either.
01:17:45.460 No whales.
01:17:46.120 Yeah, that's a surprise.
01:17:47.400 You would think there would be more.
01:17:49.000 Well, they told me they were there thousands of years ago when Israel was underwater.
01:17:52.840 So likely then.
01:17:54.080 So it's been a successful wall then.
01:17:56.440 It's been very successful.
01:17:57.120 Very successful.
01:17:58.060 Great place.
01:17:58.800 I got to keep the little beanie that they gave me, which I thought was nice.
01:18:01.840 Interesting, interesting.
01:18:02.860 Yeah, that's...
01:18:03.640 I saw you.
01:18:04.860 There was...
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.
01:18:12.440 Get in the back.
01:18:13.100 Look.
01:18:14.140 Oh, no, no.
01:18:15.340 I gave him, hey, I don't like you.
01:18:17.200 Get in the back.
01:18:17.800 Oh, okay.
01:18:19.240 I don't even know where that is.
01:18:20.540 I just didn't like him.
01:18:21.600 I didn't like him.
01:18:22.320 He was blocking my way.
01:18:23.660 And by the way, by the way, that guy had dandruff.
01:18:26.960 Oh, I didn't...
01:18:27.700 Oh, okay.
01:18:28.160 Well, that's...
01:18:28.600 Yeah.
01:18:28.740 Yeah.
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.
01:18:35.640 Let me tell you, let me ask you a question.
01:18:37.960 Let me ask you a question.
01:18:38.960 Where is Montenegro on the map?
01:18:40.820 Where is Montenegro?
01:18:41.880 Wow.
01:18:42.360 He got me.
01:18:43.000 By the Balkans, right?
01:18:44.700 It's...
01:18:45.300 Next to Italy?
01:18:46.100 I don't know those either, but frankly, you don't know where it is.
01:18:49.320 It's not one of the top 10 countries.
01:18:51.520 And I don't think I should be standing around behind a guy...
01:18:54.520 No.
01:18:54.680 ...who sounds like he's an island in the Bahamas.
01:18:57.200 Right.
01:18:57.440 You know what I'm saying?
01:18:59.180 I was going to say, it's close to Florida.
01:19:00.780 It's right there.
01:19:01.520 It's about 90 miles or so.
01:19:02.180 It's between Puerto Rico and Cuba.
01:19:03.540 Right.
01:19:03.720 I don't know where Montenegro is, but I bet you there's a bunch of restaurants in that
01:19:07.640 country, in this country with that name.
01:19:09.980 Probably.
01:19:11.600 Now, also on your trip, was that right after for Memorial Day where you were singing the
01:19:16.600 national anthem?
01:19:18.320 And they were playing the national anthem and you sung along right there, even though you're
01:19:22.100 on stage.
01:19:23.480 Tremendous singer.
01:19:24.200 I am so talented in so many ways.
01:19:27.000 You know, you saw me dancing in Saudi Arabia with the swords.
01:19:30.900 So I can...
01:19:31.440 I'm a triple threat.
01:19:32.420 I can sing, I can dance, and I can lead the free world.
01:19:37.240 Wow.
01:19:37.560 I just thought it was nice to see a president sing along with the national anthem.
01:19:42.140 I think that showed some passion.
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.
01:19:48.700 I love, love, love this country.
01:19:52.460 Tremendous country.
01:19:53.340 I wouldn't want to lead any other country in the world, especially Montenegro.
01:19:57.060 This is the one I want to lead.
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.
01:20:05.520 You know?
01:20:05.800 You know, and it's not an easy song.
01:20:07.740 Not an easy song.
01:20:08.300 I think it's a four-octave range.
01:20:09.780 So, you know, I was practicing.
01:20:11.480 I called Mariah Carey.
01:20:12.760 She helped me out.
01:20:13.560 Oh, that's nice.
01:20:14.360 Well, you're certainly connected.
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.
01:20:22.200 Oh, don't say pull out.
01:20:23.500 I don't like that.
01:20:24.120 Okay.
01:20:24.440 I don't like that.
01:20:24.700 How about take back, withdraw?
01:20:28.020 Oh, that's good.
01:20:28.840 I like that.
01:20:29.160 Okay, good deal.
01:20:29.840 I like that.
01:20:30.780 I like that.
01:20:31.340 Pull out.
01:20:32.720 I understand.
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.
01:20:41.440 It's over.
01:20:42.280 It's over.
01:20:43.280 It's over.
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.
01:20:56.320 I would say that in a second.
01:20:57.640 By the way, I love signing things.
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.
01:21:09.860 I don't like doing it.
01:21:10.820 I don't like doing it.
01:21:11.620 But Chinese are, you know what?
01:21:13.260 And here's the thing about climate control.
01:21:16.860 I want to be in charge of this.
01:21:19.780 And I can't be in charge if everyone else is already in agreement.
01:21:23.060 Do you see what I'm saying?
01:21:24.080 No, I do.
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?
01:21:30.820 Or does your wife?
01:21:32.400 I mean, who sets it?
01:21:33.660 What is a thermostat?
01:21:34.420 What is a thermostat?
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.
01:21:49.720 Jobs are up.
01:21:51.000 The economy is doing great.
01:21:53.220 The stock market is through the roof.
01:21:55.840 People are much more attractive.
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?
01:22:06.800 I think that's tremendous.
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.
01:22:30.180 I can't believe you brought her up.
01:22:33.620 I can't believe you brought her up.
01:22:35.000 Okay, that's fine.
01:22:35.780 All right, we're out of time.
01:22:36.740 We're out of time.
01:22:38.460 Spicy's waving to me.
01:22:39.600 Spicy's waving.
01:22:40.140 All right, well, thanks so much for checking in.
01:22:42.020 We appreciate it.
01:22:42.640 Back in a moment on this, The Morning Blaze.
01:22:47.040 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:22:50.560 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:22:53.520 Because we are one.
01:22:56.920 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:00.440 Mercury.
01:23:04.360 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:06.540 888-77-BECK.
01:23:09.540 Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck.
01:23:10.760 Regularly heard of The Morning Blaze.
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.
01:23:19.560 He's great.
01:23:20.220 John's awesome.
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.
01:23:31.800 Right.
01:23:31.920 Where he blasted.
01:23:32.600 Anybody remember Joe Piscopo?
01:23:33.660 He was on Saturday Night Live back in the day.
01:23:35.820 I always enjoyed him.
01:23:36.880 Yes.
01:23:37.100 Lots of the people that have come through Saturday Night Live I didn't think do a good job.
01:23:41.460 Great impressions.
01:23:42.500 Great impressions.
01:23:43.200 Great in Johnny Dangerously.
01:23:44.360 I mean, I always liked Joe Piscopo.
01:23:47.000 Successful guy?
01:23:47.400 When you say he's a successful guy.
01:23:48.120 Yeah.
01:23:48.420 I mean, he didn't have as much success as some people, but as far as the string of movies
01:23:53.180 and whatever.
01:23:53.780 But yeah, he did okay.
01:23:54.880 And I guess he has a radio talk show in New Jersey now and is a conservative or more conservative,
01:24:00.800 right-leaning, libertarian conservative.
01:24:02.560 So I don't have anything bad to say about Joe.
01:24:04.060 I think he's probably a great guy.
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
01:24:36.160 don't speak English.
01:24:37.300 I think Puerto Rico.
01:24:38.220 Puerto Rico, is that it?
01:24:39.420 Yeah, Chris.
01:24:39.980 Chris is like, what is wrong with this site?
01:24:41.720 It looks perfectly fine to me.
01:24:42.980 I know.
01:24:43.400 You guys are saying this is wrong.
01:24:44.760 I'm reading it.
01:24:45.340 It makes complete sense to me.
01:24:46.660 I mean, everything, even the links to, like, linked stories and products that are sponsoring
01:24:52.260 it seem, like, questionable.
01:24:53.720 It's like the Bass-O-Matic and stuff.
01:24:55.320 What to look for when buying the best vacuum sealer for your kitchen.
01:24:59.080 Okay, that people have that.
01:25:00.800 Things to avoid when buying a chicken plucker for sale for that huge entertainment party.
01:25:06.660 So, he has chicken plucker advertisers on.
01:25:09.520 Okay.
01:25:10.260 All right.
01:25:10.900 There's one about an under-the-counter ice maker.
01:25:14.120 Yeah, under-the-counter ice maker.
01:25:15.360 And I would think they're jokes, except within the individual story.
01:25:19.000 There are links.
01:25:19.700 There are links to take you to Amazon to buy a chicken plucker.
01:25:22.960 Okay.
01:25:23.180 I didn't know there was such a thing, but okay.
01:25:24.820 Yeah.
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.
01:25:32.860 And you click through them.
01:25:33.740 We're going to share just some of the little pieces on it here.
01:25:35.940 And again, this is not making fun of Joe.
01:25:37.960 Joe seems like a great guy.
01:25:39.880 Yeah.
01:25:40.040 Does a good job.
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.
01:26:05.580 He started his ambitions?
01:26:07.700 Yeah.
01:26:08.580 That's when his ambitions started.
01:26:10.540 Yeah.
01:26:11.220 While he was in his high school drama club,
01:26:13.280 he was well-known for abilities to play the various parts more creatively.
01:26:18.980 The various parts?
01:26:22.140 I like the radio show description.
01:26:25.320 By the way, it's Cal who is part of the Morning Blaze as well.
01:26:28.560 What's the radio description?
01:26:29.800 If you listen to AM radio, then you have probably heard Joe Piscopo talking on his radio show.
01:26:34.880 He helped the morning radio program AM 970.
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.
01:26:48.580 Lots of words going on there.
01:26:50.680 This radio has got all the current news coverage.
01:26:53.480 Lots of characters, but the same words.
01:26:55.780 Because radio, listen, and Piscopo a whole lot.
01:26:59.880 You even get entertainment topics covered too.
01:27:02.420 And you can get to listen to Joe's smooth voice and smart wit while tuning to AM 970.
01:27:10.380 This is so labored the way it's written.
01:27:12.900 It is very, very hard.
01:27:13.920 I don't see what the problem with this.
01:27:15.220 Sounds great, doesn't it?
01:27:16.780 Sounds a lot of information.
01:27:17.880 It's good.
01:27:18.340 It's JoePiscopo.com.
01:27:19.880 We'll share some more with you.
01:27:20.740 But if you get a chance, we'll send out the link on Twitter.
01:27:23.400 So you can see for yourself.
01:27:24.860 You've got to let us know on Twitter.
01:27:26.300 Is it legit?
01:27:28.080 And just outsourced or something and they don't get it?
01:27:30.940 It's also available on the internet.
01:27:31.720 What's that?
01:27:32.520 According to the page, it's available on the internet.
01:27:34.320 Oh, his website'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.
01:27:57.180 Are we sure it's 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?
01:28:09.160 I did not know that.
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.
01:28:21.500 So it is neatly then?
01:28:22.400 It is very neat.
01:28:23.280 And it apparently doesn't harm the birds.
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.
01:28:32.320 Yeah.
01:28:32.540 Wow.
01:28:33.000 I can get a chicken plucker for 200 bucks.
01:28:34.820 You guys better not refresh your page because I think we just crashed it.
01:28:37.240 I think we just crashed it.
01:28:38.860 Oh, boy.
01:28:39.840 Darn it.
01:28:40.380 I was going to read the contact line.
01:28:44.200 Did we just crash Joe's page?
01:28:46.600 We did.
01:28:47.140 Did you screen grab it earlier like I told you?
01:28:49.120 No, I did not.
01:28:49.960 Oh, you jerk.
01:28:50.740 I told you to screen grab it.
01:28:51.760 I've got like four or five of the tabs open right now.
01:28:54.240 Okay.
01:28:54.700 What about the contact one?
01:28:55.640 Oh, my gosh.
01:28:56.800 I don't have the contact one.
01:28:58.120 Oh, that was such a good one.
01:29:00.120 And it goes on and on.
01:29:01.300 Every one of these has these long-winded.
01:29:02.900 Do you got any more to share?
01:29:03.900 The examples, whatever.
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
01:29:22.520 check out that information on this website.
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
01:29:38.120 this calendar of events.
01:29:39.760 Is the calendar up?
01:29:41.100 There's no calendar.
01:29:41.680 Oh, my God.
01:29:42.600 So all that hard work of constructing those perfectly fine paragraphs, and there's no
01:29:49.140 calendar.
01:29:49.540 Perfectly fine paragraphs.
01:29:50.860 Fans of Joe Piscopo can certainly know about what all there is to know about whatever show
01:29:56.620 of Joe is coming.
01:29:58.920 Period.
01:29:59.380 On the calendar.
01:30:00.220 On the calendar.
01:30:01.040 If you need to reach out to Joe Piscopo by mail, you can send snail mail to his address
01:30:04.500 and they list a Broadway address in New York.
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
01:30:12.880 back to you.
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.
01:30:24.320 Nevertheless, your word will surely reach him.
01:30:28.240 There's all kinds of like just periods and random middle parts of the sentences.
01:30:31.420 I had a note to a pigeon and sent it to Joe.
01:30:33.300 I know.
01:30:34.140 God bless you, Joe.
01:30:34.980 I hope you're doing well.
01:30:36.340 I got to know if this is legit.
01:30:37.660 If it's not a parody, please claim it is.
01:30:40.280 Just go even bigger because it's gold.
01:30:42.860 It's gold.
01:30:43.880 And we welcome Joe.
01:30:44.740 If he wants to call in, we'll set up a time to talk to him.
01:30:46.980 Not mocking him.
01:30:47.880 I just think the sights really got me wondering what's going on with him.
01:30:51.920 Doc.
01:30:56.080 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:31:00.560 Mercury.
01:31:04.220 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:31:05.920 Yeah, we crashed the site.
01:31:08.000 We crashed the site.
01:31:09.480 It's so fishy.
01:31:10.040 Even the Blaze.com contacted me.
01:31:11.660 It's like, are you guys?
01:31:12.460 Sounds like, yeah, sorry.
01:31:13.640 Yeah, sorry about that.
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.
01:31:23.340 Yeah.
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.
01:31:30.580 SEO.
01:31:31.240 Search engine optimization.
01:31:32.700 Do they use the word Piscopo?
01:31:34.000 A lot, apparently, yes.
01:31:35.680 Over and over.
01:31:36.120 You're looking for Piscopo.
01:31:37.320 You're going to find it at JoePiscopo.com.
01:31:40.700 Right.
01:31:41.020 Yeah.
01:31:41.200 It's just funny the way it...
01:31:42.760 Are they doing that because the words are mentioned a lot there?
01:31:45.120 Yeah.
01:31:45.580 Yeah.
01:31:46.360 It's keyword loaded, essentially.
01:31:48.740 So the more you mention the words, if people do keywords for stuff, it'll come up.
01:31:51.900 It's all about ranking.
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.
01:32:00.120 Like Piscopo is a keyword.
01:32:02.000 But if you're looking for Joe Piscopo, you're going to end up at JoePiscopo.com.
01:32:06.940 That's what I would think.
01:32:07.600 And then all the other stuff.
01:32:08.860 I mean, are you searching for those?
01:32:10.580 I wouldn't think.
01:32:11.100 And plus, he's got a radio show and he's famous.
01:32:13.240 So I'm not sure you would need the extra...
01:32:14.720 And that is on the internet.
01:32:15.640 Yeah.
01:32:16.360 Yes, internet.
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.
01:32:31.480 Double space.
01:32:32.440 Triple, quadruple space.
01:32:33.920 It's really bizarre.
01:32:35.440 And he's going to...
01:32:36.640 Is there his word that he's going to run for public office?
01:32:38.640 Yeah.
01:32:38.940 So that was speculation a while ago that he could maybe even run for governor, I think it was.
01:32:44.940 Governor?
01:32:45.500 Senator?
01:32:46.540 I can't remember which it was.
01:32:48.000 For where?
01:32:48.800 New Jersey.
01:32:49.600 Oh, okay.
01:32:50.040 Cal, do you remember if it was governor or...
01:32:51.440 I think it was governor.
01:32:52.180 I think it was governor.
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.
01:33:10.760 And what would I find out about those events?
01:33:12.080 If you need details about those favorite shows, you can check out that information
01:33:15.500 on this website.
01:33:16.620 So I just retweeted earlier today on our morning broadcast, people were looking for Joe Piscopo
01:33:21.600 campaign slogans.
01:33:22.960 Actually, singular if you're using the hashtag.
01:33:24.900 Joe Piscopo campaign slogan if you have one.
01:33:27.080 What was the really good one?
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
01:33:47.400 to run for president.
01:33:48.720 And had you asked me prior to Donald Trump, I would have said there's no way he gets elected.
01:33:53.520 Now, who knows?
01:33:54.340 And it's anybody's game.
01:33:55.360 Anything goes.
01:33:56.420 Jerry Springer.
01:33:57.320 Right.
01:33:57.720 And you've got Franken, who is crazy left.
01:34:02.780 Joe Piscopo, who is on the right.
01:34:05.680 I mean, he's got a lot of the right ideas.
01:34:08.160 But can you imagine Al Franken running for president?
01:34:10.720 No.
01:34:11.620 No.
01:34:12.640 And for Piscopo, at least the one thing you'd know, he would not be on Twitter all
01:34:16.320 the time.
01:34:17.480 Because he's certainly not on.
01:34:18.660 Because when you click on his Twitter link on his website, it goes nowhere.
01:34:22.160 It goes back to his website.
01:34:23.720 By the way, if you notice, there's a Facebook link that pops out on his website.
01:34:27.560 Yeah.
01:34:27.920 You click on that.
01:34:29.160 Yeah.
01:34:29.380 It's the wrong Joe.
01:34:31.280 Oh, no.
01:34:32.060 Wait, what?
01:34:32.500 On the Twitter?
01:34:33.380 No.
01:34:33.960 So when you go to JoePiscopo.com, there's a flash ad that says, like my page.
01:34:39.840 Right.
01:34:40.080 But it links to the wrong Joe Piscopo page?
01:34:42.540 It's the wrong Joe.
01:34:44.500 Wow.
01:34:45.660 Actually, I just clicked on it.
01:34:47.160 It says, resource limit is reached.
01:34:49.440 This website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit.
01:34:54.940 Please try again later.
01:34:55.820 You know what that is?
01:34:56.640 That is that whoever he's paying to house his website.
01:34:58.900 Has a limited amount.
01:34:59.540 Has a limited people who can watch it.
01:35:02.040 And now we just crashed it.
01:35:03.600 We just cost Joe Piscopo an extra hundred bucks a month.
01:35:06.860 Exactly.
01:35:07.120 Exactly.
01:35:07.480 Joe's like, how come our web bill went up to $14,000 yesterday?
01:35:12.620 It's usually like $14 a month.
01:35:15.200 I mean, we paid that guy in Montenegro 12 cents to design it and hosted for 17 years.
01:35:21.140 Why is it so much money?
01:35:23.920 And I said, I would love to talk to Joe about this stuff.
01:35:26.160 And I wish him well.
01:35:27.000 We reached out.
01:35:27.760 Maybe hire a social media person.
01:35:29.580 Yeah.
01:35:29.780 We reached out via snail mail, the email, the internet.
01:35:34.120 The pigeon.
01:35:34.660 The pigeon.
01:35:35.240 The pigeon did you do that?
01:35:36.160 Yes.
01:35:36.340 Did you find all that contact information at JoePiscopo.com?
01:35:39.080 Yeah, I did.
01:35:39.560 Tweets coming in.
01:35:40.160 Oracle of the Matrix tweeting at Doc Thompson Show and at JerseyJoePiscopo, J-R-Z-Y, Joe Piscopo
01:35:47.900 on Twitter, is a wordy fellow.
01:35:51.100 Is a wordy fellow.
01:35:52.060 Wordy.
01:35:53.320 Is that a play on worthy?
01:35:55.300 I think he just means he's rather chatty.
01:35:58.220 Does he tweet a lot?
01:35:59.440 No.
01:36:00.580 But he has a lot of followers.
01:36:01.260 It's 140 characters.
01:36:02.380 That's why.
01:36:04.260 Let's see.
01:36:04.880 Danny tweeting, the infinite number of monkeys with typewriters missed Hamlet, but made Joe
01:36:10.500 Piscopo a website.
01:36:15.680 You know the old, you put enough monkeys in a room with typewriters, eventually they'll
01:36:19.020 bang out Hamlet.
01:36:20.520 They will bang out Piscopo.
01:36:22.120 They're like, we're going to get to Hamlet next.
01:36:23.880 First, though.
01:36:25.420 Piscopo's got a website.
01:36:31.300 What's this?
01:36:31.860 Andy tweeting, I knew it, at Doc Thompson Show and hashtag TMB is taking over at Glenn
01:36:36.260 Beck Program.
01:36:36.920 Heard it straight from the horse's mouth.
01:36:38.480 I know.
01:36:38.980 You mistakenly said the wrong show.
01:36:40.800 Yeah, you're not supposed to highlight it by tweeting the stuff out there.
01:36:43.280 Andy tweeted it out.
01:36:45.840 Yeah, you're the one who retweeted it, though.
01:36:47.460 I saw you.
01:36:48.660 Retweeted it out there.
01:36:49.360 I make one mistake.
01:36:50.240 There you go.
01:36:50.940 Are you sure we're still on the air?
01:36:52.400 Yeah, you know what my one mistake was?
01:36:54.220 What?
01:36:54.780 Having you as part of the team.
01:36:55.940 That was my one mistake.
01:36:56.940 Hey, oh.
01:36:58.240 Let's see.
01:36:59.860 Not Covfefe tweeting.
01:37:01.580 Try reading everything on Joe Piscopo's website as if you were a mobster wise guy.
01:37:06.700 Then it makes sense.
01:37:07.620 Oh, oh, oh.
01:37:09.380 Hey, see?
01:37:10.540 Joe's done many, many shows and live concerts, see?
01:37:13.560 Films and so much more, see?
01:37:15.840 You can find a lot of pictures of his work on his website, see?
01:37:19.280 You mugs?
01:37:20.140 Yeah.
01:37:21.000 Bye, I ought to.
01:37:22.180 Browse through this gallery if you know what's good for you, see?
01:37:25.420 Oh my gosh, that actually worked.
01:37:26.920 That's right.
01:37:27.360 Not Covfefe, genius.
01:37:29.620 That's awesome.
01:37:31.060 What else did he do?
01:37:31.660 He did Sinatra?
01:37:33.200 He did Sinatra.
01:37:34.440 The Sinatra impression.
01:37:35.760 This is how rumors get started.
01:37:36.700 He did not do Sinatra, technically.
01:37:38.680 But didn't he, like, after that, didn't he become a bodybuilder?
01:37:43.140 You were talking about that, yeah.
01:37:44.640 That was him, right, that turned into, like, a...
01:37:46.760 I kind of remember.
01:37:47.580 At least he had worked out and did some of that.
01:37:49.220 I don't know how big.
01:37:50.200 But he was in Johnny Dangerously.
01:37:51.780 He did some other movies like that, too.
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.
01:38:00.660 Right.
01:38:01.060 Yeah, I'm sure that paid him.
01:38:01.900 And he always reminded me of Huey Lewis.
01:38:04.140 Just in the face, they looked a lot alike.
01:38:05.760 I'll give you that.
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.
01:38:12.580 Joe Piscopo's website developed in Montenegro.
01:38:15.360 I got a Joe Piscopo's campaign slogan.
01:38:17.960 Okay, what do you got?
01:38:18.440 By the Bearded Patriot.
01:38:19.700 A vote for Joe is a vote for Joe.
01:38:21.580 So don't be a Joe schmo and vote for Joe.
01:38:25.820 Piscopo.
01:38:26.460 Yes.
01:38:26.880 Joe Piscopo.
01:38:27.200 Gotcha, that's, yeah.
01:38:28.140 Yeah.
01:38:29.060 Wow.
01:38:30.480 What if it's Piscopo-otomous?
01:38:34.300 Is that what it is?
01:38:34.820 I have a Piscopo, I don't even, I can't even.
01:38:41.240 Careful.
01:38:41.740 Oh, Piscopo-mentum.
01:38:43.160 Oh, Piscopo-mentum.
01:38:44.400 Yeah.
01:38:44.620 It's like the guy that Jeffy supported during the campaign.
01:38:50.840 Oh, yeah.
01:38:52.700 Oh, my gosh.
01:38:54.000 Jim from Virginia.
01:38:55.540 Yeah.
01:38:56.940 Gil, yes.
01:38:57.500 Gilmore.
01:38:57.840 Jim Gilmore.
01:38:58.500 Yeah.
01:38:58.660 Gil-momentum, I think.
01:39:00.420 Gil-mentum.
01:39:00.740 Gil-mentum.
01:39:01.320 Yeah.
01:39:01.660 I forgot who he was going with that.
01:39:03.720 Yeah.
01:39:03.960 Jim Gilmore, he was at my wedding.
01:39:06.040 Wait.
01:39:06.720 He was a guest at my wedding.
01:39:08.120 You're that important in Virginia?
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?
01:39:20.980 Now I can.
01:39:21.800 You're right.
01:39:22.380 I had one in attendance.
01:39:23.440 What gift did he give you?
01:39:25.140 I'm trying to remember what it was.
01:39:27.040 Oh, it was a couple of gifts.
01:39:29.400 Oh, wow.
01:39:30.560 One of them, I want to say it was like a crystal vase type thing.
01:39:35.520 Okay.
01:39:35.860 But then his wife also did.
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,
01:39:45.620 in Virginia.
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.
01:39:52.000 But he and his wife, Roxanne, are awesome.
01:39:53.440 They're very nice people.
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?
01:40:00.260 Oh, that's long gone.
01:40:01.200 Yeah, yeah.
01:40:01.940 We would have sold the book, but they didn't sign it.
01:40:04.460 That's not about them.
01:40:05.340 That's just about me being cheap.
01:40:06.500 So, you know, whatever.
01:40:08.760 Oh, okay.
01:40:09.240 Steve tweeting, hashtag Joe Piscopo campaign slogan, vote for me because Eddie Murphy ain't
01:40:13.760 running.
01:40:17.980 And then Chumlee was going down the same Eddie Murphy line.
01:40:20.820 He put, Merry Christmas, damn it.
01:40:22.180 That's Eddie Murphy, but everyone always liked him better anyway.
01:40:28.200 All right.
01:40:28.780 Let me get a break in.
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
01:40:36.720 about this.
01:40:37.640 And as I said, if this is not a joke, run with it.
01:40:41.100 Make it even more of this.
01:40:42.540 Go with it.
01:40:43.060 This is deep.
01:40:43.660 It's better than any real, legit, like if you're going to run, campaign website.
01:40:48.880 Oh, yeah.
01:40:49.240 Just make t-shirts about your website.
01:40:51.380 Just go full board.
01:40:52.420 Like Confefe.
01:40:53.260 Go Confefe.
01:40:53.980 Absolutely.
01:40:54.380 Well, and we learned that people are not that interested in facts.
01:40:59.040 That's what we've learned over there.
01:41:00.220 And we're moving towards idiocracy.
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.
01:41:08.060 He was being facetious, of course.
01:41:10.540 Now it's the norm.
01:41:11.360 Now it's the norm.
01:41:12.120 There it is.
01:41:12.940 Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:16.840 Glenn Beck Program.
01:41:18.120 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.
01:41:21.000 Mercury.
01:41:24.680 The 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.
01:41:36.680 I don't know why Glenn wants us to.
01:41:37.920 Apparently, he's trying to save money.
01:41:39.880 We're not connected to the customers, to our audience.
01:41:42.180 Okay, that's what he says.
01:41:42.860 I think somehow he's making money off it.
01:41:44.180 But anyway, Brad's going to join me, some other people around the Blaze.
01:41:47.220 So if you get a chance, call up and just chat.
01:41:49.340 Just tell them what you're thinking, I guess.
01:41:51.180 I don't know why you're calling either, but.
01:41:53.240 Just don't yell at me.
01:41:53.820 You would just, yeah, call and say hi and chit-chat with us if you're bored or something.
01:41:58.040 866-304-4978.
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.
01:42:04.260 866-304-4978.
01:42:06.500 And that's 2 o'clock Eastern time today.
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?
01:42:11.680 Probably.
01:42:12.080 And there's an easy way to remember that phone number.
01:42:13.680 Of course, it spells out.
01:42:15.480 Coffifa?
01:42:18.240 866-304-4978.
01:42:20.740 I'll tweet out a link to it.
01:42:21.680 Let's go to the phone lines now.
01:42:22.720 888-727-BEC-T in California.
01:42:25.400 Welcome to the program.
01:42:26.180 Hi there.
01:42:27.540 Hey, guys.
01:42:28.440 That was some of the funniest stuff I've heard on the Joe Piscopo.
01:42:31.380 You're welcome.
01:42:32.020 Thank you, sir.
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.
01:42:40.720 Yeah.
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.
01:42:52.860 So it's easy to remember, too.
01:42:56.720 You should see it.
01:42:57.800 It's PHP, and it's got 70 characters.
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.
01:43:08.120 Somebody else grabbed it?
01:43:10.440 Yeah.
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?
01:43:40.280 Yeah, I don't.
01:43:41.200 Not only that.
01:43:42.420 Stalker!
01:43:43.020 Why would you do that?
01:43:44.040 Actually, I did find the real website.
01:43:45.580 Did you find it now?
01:43:46.180 It's really nice.
01:43:47.140 Is it good?
01:43:47.600 Yeah?
01:43:48.040 It's almost the same when it comes to the tabs.
01:43:51.580 Wow.
01:43:53.960 It's fascinating.
01:43:56.120 Oh, my gosh.
01:43:56.960 T, thanks for the information.
01:43:58.040 Yeah, thank you so much.
01:43:58.260 This is really interesting stuff.
01:43:59.680 This is really interesting.
01:44:01.600 Thanks, buddy, appreciate it.
01:44:02.120 Yeah, it looks great.
01:44:02.900 The same picture's being used.
01:44:04.020 The same pictures.
01:44:05.000 It's laid out a little bit different.
01:44:06.320 It's beautiful.
01:44:07.400 It's really a pretty website, yeah.
01:44:08.600 Oh, we definitely have to get to the bottom of this.
01:44:10.360 Okay, so maybe this faux Joe website.
01:44:14.400 Okay, so here's the thing.
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
01:44:19.340 JoePiscopo.com, and now we're like publicized.
01:44:22.420 He's like, I hate these guys.
01:44:24.360 I hate them.
01:44:24.840 Okay, so this is the amount of, okay, fine, this is fake.
01:44:27.800 Like, then why is it on his Twitter handle?
01:44:30.740 So is that Twitter fake also?
01:44:32.960 It's verified, though, isn't it?
01:44:34.020 No, it's not verified.
01:44:34.960 It's not verified.
01:44:35.320 On the real website, you can get a chicken plucker for sale for that huge entertainment party.
01:44:39.920 Can you?
01:44:40.860 I don't know.
01:44:41.220 Oh, okay, I was going to say.
01:44:42.940 So what is the purpose of this?
01:44:44.480 Are you deep in chicken pluckers?
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.
01:45:00.020 Do you see what I'm saying, though?
01:45:00.860 There's got to be a motivation.
01:45:02.060 Are you just screwing around?
01:45:03.020 Okay, if you're just loving Joe Piscopo, where you went out and bought JoePiscopo.com,
01:45:07.140 nothing against Joe.
01:45:08.080 He's a lesser celebrity.
01:45:09.980 I mean, I'm far lesser than he is.
01:45:11.520 But, okay, so you liked him.
01:45:13.120 You remember him.
01:45:13.520 You bought his name.
01:45:14.560 So you throw up the website.
01:45:15.620 It takes time and effort.
01:45:16.980 Yeah.
01:45:17.740 And then even if it's formatted out, like your buddy said, where this stuff just gets dumped in.
01:45:22.960 Right, yeah.
01:45:23.500 Right.
01:45:24.220 What's the point?
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.
01:45:30.420 That's a lot of work for what's the return.
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.
01:45:42.580 Is he divorced and remarried or something?
01:45:44.200 Is this an ex-wife thing?
01:45:45.640 Oh, yes.
01:45:46.740 Yes.
01:45:47.160 On his thing, he said he was divorced.
01:45:49.620 Oh, my gosh.
01:45:50.240 He's on his second marriage right now.
01:45:51.460 I wonder if it's the ex-wife or somebody that disliked him, disgruntled employee, where you're like,
01:45:56.560 I'm going to own JoePiscopo.com.
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.
01:46:06.300 Thank you for interpreting.
01:46:07.440 And he goes, ha-ha.
01:46:11.280 What?
01:46:12.060 Ha-ha.
01:46:13.220 That's the reply?
01:46:13.880 What does that mean?
01:46:14.600 I don't know.
01:46:15.380 Are we being trolled?
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.
01:46:21.780 Theblaze.com slash radio for live programming.
01:46:24.300 Theblaze.com slash doc if you want to hear it after hours.
01:46:27.280 We're live 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern time.
01:46:30.160 Okay.
01:46:31.080 I don't know what to say after that.
01:46:32.460 This has all been very, very odd.
01:46:34.500 At least I'm not Al Franken.
01:46:36.080 That's his campaign slogan.
01:46:36.660 That's the best campaign slogan.
01:46:39.060 Have a great day.
01:46:39.960 We'll see you later.
01:46:40.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
